Fate/False Faker, a Stay Night story.

[Chapter Two] Die When Killed

Drake was reeling, this was his Servant? It was like he was staring at Death Incarnate.

???: I ask thee once more, art thou my Contractor?

He didn't realize how long he was staring for as he shot up to his feet.

Drake: Yes, I am. My name is Drake Harrow, I'm a mage. May I ask who you are?

???:.......I hold the title of Assassin.

No answer was given as the two scrutinized each other closely. Drake was hoping to get a more lax partner, but a serious one is more practical.

Drake: I see, I won't be so improper as to ask your name again before seeing how we function as allies.

In that moment, a set of images flashed in front of Drake's eyes. A giant brute, the kid from the school, an armored blond, Kotomine's church. The towering assassin narrowed his eyes at the one who would be his Master, sensing the exorbitant amount of mana flowing from his entire being.

Drake tried to make sense of the images shown to him. The feeling he got from it, it felt like it was already...there's one way to find out.

Drake: Assassin, two servants are about to fight. I can't explain how I know that, but it's an opportunity for us. Will you fight with me?

Assassin: Let us go see what opposition awaits us, Contractor.

At that, Drake couldn't help but smirk.

<Church] <New City] <POV: Shirou]
------------------

Illya: Okay, I'm going to kill you now! Get them, Berserker.

The hulking monster's skin gained a red hue as if he was a machine that had come alive. Saber threw off her yellow raincoat and shot forward to clash with the colossal berserker's
ax-sword.

His strength overpowered hers greatly as he launched her skyward. Saber catches a glint of glee in the young girl's eye and she spins around to find Berserker in the air behind her. A powerful strike sends her crashing back down into the stone path they previously stood on. Saber grits her teeth as she rises to stand again while Shirou's eyes widen in panic.

Shirou: Run...

With speed ill befitting of a beast his size, Berserker continues the fight and pushes the Saber spirit back with every other strike.

Shirou: Please, run!

Saber: RAAAAH!

Through sheer determination, Saber doesn't let up. Rin curses their luck, her own servant being injured after a confrontation with the Lancer servant.

Illya: That's it, Berserker! She's got the ability to regenerate her body, so you can defile her after you behead her!

(This is an actual line in the movie. Jesus fuck, what were they teaching her?)

Berserker catches Saber off guard with a parry followed by a fist to her gut, shattering her armor easily. She goes fly, bouncing across the stone before getting back to her feet. Shirou sees her injury curses himself.

Shirou: Damn it, I'm such a fool!

Immediately, he sprints forward, ignoring Rin's objections and surprising Illya. As Berserker swings his blade towards Saber, Shirou pushes her out of the way.

Saber looks up to see what happened only for blood to splatter on her face.

Shirou's body flies through the air, blood flying from the gash on his chest. He hits the ground and tumbles for a moment, landing directly in front of Illya. Miraculously still alive, Shirou looks up at the girl as he hears her mutters to herself.
