Hero of Justice (Fate/Stay Night UBW x Shield Hero)

A Nameless Bowman

"No, snakes are no problem. I'd go to any country, anywhere, any snakes, not a problem." -Steve Irwin

Rin, with the saber install then beckons Naofumi and Raphtalia to follow her. She then grabs on to all three then uses Mana Burst, launching them across the woods.

She keeps using the one skill on Artoria she had unlocked so far, repeatedly. They needed to escape and they needed it now. After a good few minutes of running, the snakes finally give up, seeing as how the four intruders have finally left their territory.

Somewhere on a river bank near the kingdom, all four of them laid, sprawled on the floor. Rin, still in Artoria mode, then says "Jeez, my legs are killing me. Note to self, spamming mana burst is a bi*** to the calves." Naofumi chuckles at the comment. Shirou was still knocked out cold and Raphtalia stood up and hurled up in a nearby bush.

Later that night, Naofumi rents the four of them a room in an inn. It was the least he could do after such a fruitful, yet admittedly dangerous day and also to apologize for the stupid idea. They then had their wounds fixed by Avalon's passive healing. Raphtalia goes to play with her ball around the inn.

Naofumi then chuckles as Shirou applies Avalon to him, healing his wounds. Naofumi then comments, saying "Y'know, if I didn't know any better, that sheath of yours-"

"Actually it's hers."

"Right... Anyways, that sheath... Avalon was it? If I didn't know any better, I'd say that it's very existence seems to be a cheat. Not that I'm complaining or anything. After all, with how far ahead the other three are, we'd need to get whatever advantage we can get to catch up."

Rin, who is still sore as heck at that moment sighed and says "Sadly, I cannot say the same. While true it still retains it's miraculous healing property, this is a far cry to what it can truly do. You see, when we came into this world, Artoria and yhe other servants were all apparently subjected to a different sort of levelling system compared to our own. Even Avalon here, is subjected to that as well. At it's full power it should be able to employ not only nigh instantaneous healing, but complete alienation from damage itself. However, as it is now... it's strengthening process is still... unknown to us. What's worse, is that at the moment, the best it can do is this decently effective passive heal that is more effective as an out of combat item than an in combat one."

"Hey, don't beat yourself up. I mean, hey, at least it means all the medicine I am creating goes directly to our funds and emergency use and not for out of combat healing."

Shirou, after finishing up, pats his hands together as he sits down on his bed. "Now, Rin." Rin giggled, saying "Yes Shirou?"

Shirou then secretly gestures to Naofumi without the shield hero's knowing and Rin nods. Another stake out at the castle.

Naofumi then asks Rin "So how do you unlock your other powers? Coz I mean, from what I can see,  you seem to only have this form and that blank servant." Rin then cupped her chin while humming to think.

She then says "From what I secretly pried off Artoria, I have to basically interact with servants in my dreams, or in my weapon's terms, Interludes. I have to apparently talk to and convince the various heroes of legend to help me. So far the only ones ready to talk to me are EMIYA and Artoria with Cu Chullain being a maybe according to her."

Naofumi then nods, slightly confused but getting the general gist of it. Shirou then steps in and says "Now to mine... I guess. Honestly, I cannot even begin to understand how I am supposed to unlock weapons when I can't absorb things. What's worse is that the conditions for unlocking any of the ones available to me seem to have quite random requirements. I mean, a really long guardless katana called the "Monohoshizao" seems to need me to cut down a swallow or a dragon of sorts.
