The company followed Yuuri down the castle to the baseball pitch.
Saber and Conrad stood on opposite sides of the pitch. Both held their blades at their enemies. The rest stood on the two sides of the pitch.
Yuuri stood out from the crowd. "Are you ready? I declare the duel begins…now!"
Saber dashed towards Conrad at lightning speed.
Conrad was ready to block the oncoming blow. But Saber proved to have secondary plans. She then went to Conrad's left, ran forward a bit more, turned around and leapt at Conrad.
Conrad just managed to block the blow.
"You're not bad, Saber," Conrad commented.
"Not bad? Are you out of your mind?" Saber snapped back.
Conrad smiled. He jumped back, wary of the immediate dash forward by the adversary. He blocked again, and then dodged to Saber's left and finally towards her.
"What? That was quick," Saber thought in mild surprise.
The next five blows were quick- four by Conrad, one by Saber in retaliation.
Four open slits on Saber's right shoulder and one long one on Conrad's front. No red marks though.
The people who were watching the spar were not only those on the pitch. A few soldiers and palace maids were watching on specific floors of the castle, while carrying their spears or rags or buckets of water, whatever it was.
Everyone watching this spectacular phenomenon could not believe what was happening the past ten seconds. Some people could only describe it as flashes of blue and brown flying around the field, with a few white sparks appearing here and there. People whose eyes were faster could see the blur outline of two people duelling. For these people with the swords though, the last ten seconds seemed like three minutes. They enjoyed the fight so much that they thought a lot of time had passed.
"Time to finish it," Saber declared finally after a rest of two seconds. She held the sword firmly and started yelled out her favourite word.
"Ex-calibur! (1)"
Everyone who was Demon watched in surprise as a ray of yellow, blinding light rushing out of the blade, travelling quickly towards Conrad. He could not move his location, so he used his arms to block the dangerous power.
The light had extinguished at last, and Saber looked at her adversary. To her expectation, her opponent did not disappear with the light, but was badly burned on his arms.
He removed his hand and crept down on his knees for a moment.
"That was quite a strong blast, Saber."
"Do you admit defeat then," Saber offered him her hand.
"No. Not just yet." He refused the hand and stood up with a little effort while smiling at her.
"Ur…Conrad, are you sure you are okay?" Yuuri asked in concern.
"Yes. I am just fine, Yuuri."
"Now watch this carefully, Saber," Conrad said before he appeared to split up into four of himself and dashed towards Saber's front, back, left and right.
Saber jumped aside as all four Conrads jumped towards her with a slash. After the slash, all four Conrads disappeared in a flash.
"Where is he?" Saber thought.
"She cannot see me. Perfect time," Conrad thought.
Before he shouted, "Excalibur!"
Another ray of blinding blue light came from in front of Saber. "What the?" was all she was able to mouth out before she was hit by the energy.
She was left with a position in which she was kneeling on the floor the same way as Conrad was when he was hit with.
"Excalibur…Excalibur…I have heard that before. But when?" Yuuri sweared he remembered something about the sacred blade.
"Wait, Saber. Are you…" Yuuri was about to say when Conrad offered a hand to her. She accepted it like a lady before Yuuri heard someone in the distance shouting his name.
"Your majesty! Your majesty!"
It was Gwendal.
Yuuri ran towards the defence minister (sorta) of the Demon Kingdom.
"I bring here ill...wait…who are they?"
"Ur…Anissina screwed up her newest invention and brought these people from my world to here…" Yuuri said rather sheepishly.
"I apologise for my rudeness, guests, but I have ill news to report to your Majesty."
Shiro and his company nodded in understanding. They slowly dispersed to look around the castle.
After seeing that the guests were far enough, Gwendal spoke, "Your majesty, Victor has been abducted by the humans in the order of their new King."
"Prepare for a ship then, Gwendal. Looks like we have to return to the human kingdom."
Yuuri could not believe he had to sort out matters of the humans again.
OMAKE: IS EXACTLY EVERYONE TOURING THE CASTLE?
Archer was standing behind the wall. In fact, he had heard everything they said.
"Those humans are inviting a recipe for war. Seems the terms 'human' and 'demon' have switched in its meaning altogether."
"Oww…WTF? Surely not Rin again?" Well, actually, it was Rin. Archer sighed as he received the fifth whack on his head today in around ten minutes.
"Archer, didn't I say it was rude to sneak around like that?" Rin said in a fit of anger.
"Can you stop babbling?"
"Fine, if you want to get yourself in trouble again," Rin replied after whacking Archer's head the sixth time.
"Next time, can you comment on my comments without whacking my head?" Archer thought.
A/N: Sorry if Rin shows to be a bit of OOC in this fic. Once again for comedy and plot purpose. (Plot…you will see later)
(1) In the Anime, Saber says this as: Ex- Calibaaaa (Japanese-ish accent )
