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

Chapter 29 - 2

=== AMIYA ===

"What are they doing?!" Amiya gaped when Rin and Ch'en appeared on the battlefield. The pair disappeared just less than a minute ago. They left quickly, prompting Amiya to order some operators to chase after them.

"They're too fast. We can't chase them without Skadi and Specter." Both of which were about to engage Talulah. The Doctor told her then. If Rin and Ch'en planned to escape from Rhodes Island now, then they had no response in place.

But then, they suddenly appeared on the PRTS screen they were watching to keep track of the battle using the drones flying above.

Before Amiya and the Doctor could shout their new location to the operators, Ch'en unleashed a red flash that cut right into Talulah. Another event happened at the same time- the sudden disappearance of the great fireball Talulah was creating. The red slash landed on the rampaging western dragon and threw her several meters back.

The next moment, the sky above Amiya and the Doctor turned red. They jerked up, watching fire engulf the skies above Chernobog in shades of red and orange.

"W-what..." Amiya whispered at how expansive the fire spread. It was as if the sky was on fire. Clouds had been replaced by flames, slowly spreading and falling over the city.

"Amiya! Focus!" The Doctor's words dragged her attention back. Her eyes returned to the screen to see a lull in the fight. All the flames in the plaza had been used as additional fuel for the attack that was now gone. Amiya glanced at the sky above her again. Was that where it all went?

"Doctor-"

"Doctor, we're going in." Skadi's voice reported over the comms. It was advised that they establish a direct channel with the two elite operators who would be engaging Talulah. A channel that didn't have Rin and Ch'en connected to since they had been expected to stay with the Doctor and Amiya.

The two Aegirean Abyssal Hunters moved in without wasting time. Cutting the distance between them and Talulah's fallen figure. Before they could reach her, a wave of fire split the approaching supersoldiers. Amiya's heart thundered.

Talulah was not down yet.

She scrambled up while throwing multiple waves. Skadi and Specter split flanks and tried to move around the fire but Talulah kept up a continuous stream like earlier.

"She's hurt." Amiya's eyes widened. The Doctor was right. From their drone, it wasn't clear if there were wounds on her, but her figure was slouched awkwardly as she fought to push back Skadi and Specter.

"She's desperate." Now that he pointed it out, Talulah's defense didn't have any breaks. She kept the torrent of fire up. Looking closer, the strength of the torrent varied inconsistently. It wavered, sometimes strong, sometimes weak.

"This is our chance!" Amiya realized. "I have to go in now!" She wouldn't risk letting the operators under her engage Talulah at a closer range. Amiya had strong arts she could use to defend herself if necessary. Together with the others, they could finally overwhelm Talulah.

"...just be careful." The Doctor understood that this was the first breakthrough they've had against Talulah. They couldn't let let go of this opportunity.

Amiya nodded before she dashed in herself. "Skadi, Specter, I'm engaging." She informed the two elite operators. Amiya glanced at the rings on her fingers. Power Limiters. Kal'tsit warned her not to break her limits, but the situation was too important.

She rounded the corner and the formerly burning plaza opened to her. The place was burnt black, all the fires gone after having disappeared moments earlier. The heat was bearable now with no source. Amiya hadn't gotten any shields from Ch'en but that still wouldn't have stopped her from entering the fray.
