The robed man sat on his throne, coughing violently into his hand. As he looked at it, he noticed bright red blood dripping down his hand. Licking his lips, he could taste the metallic iron of the blood from his mouth.
"Sir?! Are you alright?!" Cried out Gilles worriedly.
"I'm fine." Stated the robed man. "Forcibly summoning the servants is wearing me down."
"Will you be alright?" Gilles asked.
"I'll be fine." Replied the robed man. "With Salter, we'll be able to win."
"As you say sir." Bowed Gilles.
. . .
Archer looked around the frozen section of the city, using his enhanced eyesight as an Archer class servant to his advantage. As he looked around, he spotted something on a frozen building a little distance away.
It looked like...people?!
"Hey! There are some others over there!" Archer informed his companions. "Stay here. Miyu, protect them if something happens." He ordered.
The others nodded, agreeing to Archer's plan. Archer jumped from the roof of the building, landing on another one not too far away. Leaping from building to building he slowly approached the other people.
As he got closer, he was able to recognize who stood there. Upon seeing them, his eyes widened. He quickly continued to approach them, ready to finally reunite with some old friends.
He landed on the building, causing the other people to jump back in shock before gasping upon seeing him.
"Archer!" Rin yelled, running towards him and hugging him, crying into his chest.
"It's been a while Rin." Said Archer, rubbing Rin's back as his fatherly instincts activated.
"Archer. It's been a while." Greeted Jeanne.
"It has." Archer replied.
"It's good to see you again Archer. Are there any others with you?" Asked Iri.
"Miyu, Sakura, Taiga..." Archer stated, causing Rin and Illya to brighten up.
"...and Beatrice." He finished.
As if they were a hive, everybody's fists clenched at the mention of her name.
"Her..." Rin growled.
"Don't kill her. For now, she's working with us." Archer stated.
Iri huffed. "She does one thing and I'm taking her down."
"So, what are we doing now?" Asked Kiritsugu.
They suddenly remembered they were on a building with it's bottom half in a frozen underwater lake.
"I'll be fine. I can resist the cold. I'll be able to travel across the ice." Jeanne stated.
"The cold won't effect us Einzberns." Iri said. "It's not as cold as where we used to live here."
"Pretty sure that's a frickin' lie..." Kiritsugu muttered.
"What did you say honey?" Asked Iri with a sickly sweet voice, nudging her husband in the rib.
