We're not really Doctors. (Shirou x Harem) Arknights x Fate

Chapter 26 - 2

=== RHODES ISLAND ===

0545 Hours, Chernobog.

...

Behind Chernobog, a speck in the sky closed in. Between the darkness of the sky and the general chaos happening in the city, none had noticed the incoming vehicle.

The VTOL aircraft approached from the rear of the city. The billowing smoke increased their cover as the dawn crawled through the sky. So far, a cursory scan of the city's condition told them many things.

Everything was not as it seemed.

Rhodes Island had expected their presence to be noticed a little bit before they would reach the city, but it seems as if no one had even bothered to shoot them out of the sky.

"Why are there fires...?" Amiya wondered while eyeing the skyline.

"Whatever it is, the Reunion is distracted." Kal'tsit theorized. They weren't attacked yet and Rin had assured them she was adding another layer of defense to the aircraft. She had informed the pilot to fly around the edges of the city until someone attacked them to see Rin's work.

Sure enough, a few minutes of going around the city edges attracted the first attempt at shooting them down, some debris launched from a makeshift launcher. The pilot made sure to angle the aircraft just enough for the operators to have a shot at the incoming projectile just in case it got too close.

"Nobody shoot it!" Rin shouted as they readied their weapons to shoot.

One dark-haired cat looked just about ready to jump out the aircraft to meet the debris.

A visible purple barrier appeared briefly once the debris was within several meters range, the projectile shattering into pieces as it slammed into Rin's work.

"How strong is it?" Kal'tsit looked at the Fuyuki doctor.

Rin checked the defensive shield she set up around the aircraft. "It can tank up to a hundred times that impact. There is enough energy for it to last half a week."

"And if under constant barrage?" The green-haired scientist continued.

"The entire day- provided the Reunion is hitting us once every minute."

That was some pretty good defense then. Amiya blinked.

"Alright, I'll tell the pilot to bring us to the city center." Rin headed off.

"Wow, Miss Rin. That's impressive." Amiya clapped her hands together happily. The powerful barrier around the VTOL ship would keep everyone safe unless something catastrophically failed.

"It wouldn't be enough to stop Sakura if she decides to shoot us out of the sky."

Amiya's mind grinded to a halt.

"What...?"

"That's why we'll ask you to drop us off half a kilometer away once we're close to where Sakura is." Rin's eyes slowly scanned the city skyline to a particular building in the distance. It was too far away to see properly, but the mystic code on Sakura helped keep track of her location. Sakura hadn't bothered to remove it as the mystic code wouldn't hinder her goal, but it would let Shirou and Rin know where she was.

"Do you know where she is?" Kal'tsit checked her projected map of Chernobog. Much of the city was damaged, but it would still be useful.

"The tallest building. What's it called?" Rin leaned over to see Kal'tsit's map.
