Fate/Writer's Dream

Chapter Fifteen, Defeated

Matou tightened his eyes and loosened it once the light was gone. They were no longer in the town, but instead in a flat landscape that had thousands of weapons stabbed into the ground. The area stretched out as far as the eye could see. The sky was covered in clouds that looked like rust. They couldn't even see the blue sky through them. The air was dense and felt claustrophobic. In the sky, there were gigantic gears that slowly moved while making loud droning noises.

"A Reality Marble?" Matou asked rhetorically as he looked around.

"Correct," Emiya said from behind him. Matou quickly turned around and faced Emiya. "Welcome to my reality."

Matou nodded. "A Reality Marble represents their mentality." He looked around and gave a small smirk. "This is quite depressing."

"Heh, how could you tell?" Emiya chuckled.

Matou massaged his shoulder and stretched. "So you're going to resist? It would be easier if you just let me go," he said.

"Oh? Are you scared now that I know your secret?" Emiya asked.

"You have quite the wild imagination," Matou replied as he clenched his fist. "I'm not even using my full potential."

From the ground, the weapons flew up into the sky and flew around in circles above Matou. They adjusted in the air and aimed down at him. "Me neither," Emiya said as the blades launched down at him. They all shot at each of his weak spots.

Before the blades got close, an explosion punched them away. The blades fell on the ground, shattered and broken. Matou folded his arms and smirked. "Is that all you got?" Matou asked. He was starting to enjoy this challenge.

"I'm just getting started." Emiya summoned his dual blades once more and charged at Matou along with dozens of swords following him.

"Come at me, Archer!" Matou yelled. He unfolded his arms and dashed towards Emiya at full speed. Each footstep created an explosion that cracked the ground. An aura of heat and flames surrounded him as he kept gaining speed. As Matou got closer, he jumped up into the air and came crashing down towards Emiya while reeling back his fist.

Emiya's body became filled with energy. His body glowed from his Magic Circuits and his body became stronger. He tightened the grip on his daggers and launched up into the sky towards Matou. He swung his dual blades at him.

Matou launched his fist at Emiya's blades and they made contact. Emiya's blades exploded from the force and the blast of energy launched both of them back. Emiya crashed into the ground and rolled around until he came to a stop by slowing himself down with his new dagger that was stabbed in the ground. Matou took less damage and landed gracefully on the dirt.

"No matter what, you're at a disadvantage, Archer. You don't even know what my Magic does, do you?" Matou asked.

Emiya wiped the sweat from his forehead and summoned another blade. "Then I'll just find out." Hundreds of blades shot up from the ground and flew at Matou at top speed.

One by one, the blades were smacked out of the sky as he kept walking forward.

"Tch." Emiya kept firing blades while running towards him. All of the swords were blown away just as Emiya got near him. He raised his blades up and they glowed.

"The same attack won't work twice, you know that, right?" Matou said as he raised his leg and prepared to kick the blades out of his hands.

The two daggers glowed even brighter and transformed into
