* Emilya Pov *

' I... can't remember. I think I did something... ah. My head. Feels like it split in half. I can't breathe, where is everyone, why is it so...dark ', I can't open my eyes, no matter how hard I tried, I just can't open my eyes. My memory is gone, I think. Did I... did I project a divine construct... no, I would have remembered if I did project a divine weapon.
" Emilya!/Emilya-nee! ", is that... voices? Who... no, can't breathe, too...tired. Just let me, take a break. I will be fine... Illya. Illya? Ah, right, that name... that's my sister, isn't it? Rin, Luvia... Miyu, that's right, they were my friends. I see... so that's their voices, I'm glad, I'm not alone. I can finally sleep, with no worry.
...

I can't help but force my body to stand up despite how much it's screaming in pain. This familiar feeling, similar to the corrupted servants that we had fought but this one is different. A trace of a holy signature solely focuses on one point. I turned my head around to see the source of that feeling, a figure in a black armored dress with a mask covers their eyes. In their hand is a sword that will forever be stuck in my Reality Marble, a former holy sword, Excalibur, no, Excalibur Morgan. The sword of Artoria Pendragon from a possible alternate timeline created by the Holy Grail itself. 
" Saber... ", one simple word, yet I somehow manage to put all of my emotions into it. The word almost choke me, I forgot to breathe, my eyes never left from her solid proof of existence. I almost forgot that my friends are still nearby, my eyes feel teary but I can't let the tears fall. Showing a sign of weakness is the last thing she will do.
" What's going on Rin-san, Luvia-san, what should we do?! ", Illya starts freaking out from behind me, same can be said for Miyu but barely noticeable. 
" I don't know, but we will just have to continue fighting. Illya, Miyu, prepare yourselves, I have a feeling this isn't going to be easy. Luvia and I will back you up, Emilya, you stay by my and Luvia's sides, you're not in the right condition to fight just yet. ", I want to argue back, that I need to fight in this battle as well but, my body won't listen to me as I hiss in pain. I would have never thought that the thing that will hinder me is my lack of mana, considering how many magic circuits Illya's body has. 
" Be careful, that servant is more dangerous than the rest we have fought. If possible, try to refrain from close combat as possible.  ", I try to warn them before they took any immediate actions. If I can't join the battle I might as well support them as much as I can.
" Avoid close combat huh, I guess that's understandable since it seems like she's a Saber Class, the sword is a dead give away ", I can see Rin tries to think of a strategy on how to beat someone who is a master in the art of the sword. She looks like she has a new plan, but I have a feeling it won't work. 
" Rin, I don't think any of our attacks will work against her, that dark energy enveloping the servant is a large amount of pure mana. I have a feeling our attacks will just bounce off like it's nothing ", Rin looks dejected for a bit, my guess was right, she was planning to just use range attacks. Saber's mana will be a big hindrance to our fighting power since Illya and Miyu, our main offensive attackers won't even be able to put a scratch on her. Thankfully, this body of mine has lots of magic circuits, I had left some of my circuits un-open just in case for an emergency situation such as this. I have to thank Illya's body for this. The only problem is that I don't know how much this current body of mine can handle the consequences of forcing it to go over its limits. I could trace Excalibur to counter hers but in exchange for the possibility of being dead? The last time I traced Excalibur was when I destroyed the corrupted grail, and the end result was me arriving at the footstep of Death's door. Illya could probably handle projecting a divine construct weapon such as Excalibur once due to her large amount of magic circuits to powered up the Dress of Heaven. But once is her limits, and right now if I project Excalibur in my current conditions, I will surely die.
" ... I think we must retreat, there are still some times left before she arrives here if she keeps walking at us at that pace. We could think of a proper strategy later ", Luvia suggested, and I can't help but agree with her. I will be much more prepared next time we come here again.
" Yeah, you're right. Illya, Miyu, prepare to transport us out of here ", Rin orders both of them who starts preparing to activate the kaleidoscope magic circles without any hesitant.
The faster we get out of here, the better of our chance in escaping.
But I see that Saber isn't going to let that happen.
She swings down her holy sword, releasing a crescent wave of dark dense mana at an incredible speed. The spell got canceled as we were forced to dodge, well in my case, dragged by Rin and Luvia since I was still kind of unable to move properly. This is frustrating, very frustrating. I can't do anything and if I did, I will probably won't be able to ever open my eyes. Isn't there anything I can do to help at all?
