Apple Street Agency Episode 2, Fight

Shirou, Rin and Saber continued their walk across the throne of the golden hero, through the golden carpet and onto the lavishly Ordained throne of the golden king; Intangible sense of Pressure engulfed them as they walked their way. The thousands of years of history and legacy, they were actually setting their foot on this manifestation of the history of human civilization.

The first ever dynasty, the first ever king, the only kingdom that ruled everything on earth, it all started on this very place where Gilgamesh hailed as the ruler of all. But it didn't daunt them, the ones who drew their swords towards the master of this chamber and emerged victorious.

"What's the plan now."
Said Rin as she took her time to sit and rest on the unattended throne. Her eyes were showing no sign of fear, or rather a small hint of excitement, supported by her confident tone and elegant posture.

"There are eleven Gates, I say we split up and search the gates one by one."

"You sure you can handle it alone dear?"
Shirou Folded his arms and huffed slightly with both Kanshou and Bakuya still at hand. It's true that in terms of all out battle there was none that could out power Rin and her dagger but still, he of now is strong enough to fight evenly with saber in a sword fight. Well, not exactly as strong as her monster strength but close to that in pure sword skill.

"Rin, I think Shirou's offer is something is actually quite an idea, he isn't exactly as strong as a dragon but I believe he can handle a few mythical beasts on his own."

"Heh? Our big old Shirou's big enough to handle himself?"

"You have no idea."
Said Shiro as he let out a deep grumble.

"Alrighty, then!"
Rin Jumped out of the seat and started browsing her backpack,pulling out a set of three walkie talkies from it and tossed each to Shirou and Saber.

"If there is any need for reinforcement or if you actually found Ea, report everyone. And try not to touch anything until we reassemble."
Shirou and Saber nodded without any complaints.

"That is all!"
Said Rin as she turned and made her way to the far right side of the chamber. Shirou and Saber soon set out, going the exact opposite direction of Rin.

"Oh, and Shirou!"
Shirou halted his walk as he heard her say the words. He didn't bother to turn his head, Focus was what he needed the most.

"Don't,and I repeat. DON'T try to fight any dragons you hear!"
Shirou didn't nod and instead continued on with his march. He will go as far as he takes and dragons won't hinder his pace, More so if they're Gilgamesh's.

"...Jerk."
Rin roughly closed her eyes and sighed deeply before pushing her feet on her way, He at this state won't listen to anything she throws at him. She already gave up on that long ago.

"Come back in one piece Shirou... I'll kill you if you don't."
Said Rin as she disappeared into the dark, Colorless Tunnel.

Battle Phase I – Shiro Emiya: Glide through the hurricane.

The Tunnel Shirou chose was situated at the foremost edge on the left side of the Chamber, the tunnel actually led to the lower part of this throne. There was no light, not one to speak of, the stairs were steep and the surface was very slippery, thanks to a millenia of dust debris stacked on each of the steps he took.

Shirou took a few steps through the dim tunnel, until the lights on the entrance became too far apart for any light to cross. The path was in total darkness, but as long as there is the slightest bit of light present, it's nothing he can't handle

Shirou closed his eyes and imaged an interwoven network of twenty seven strains of circuits on his head. The next thing he did was aligning two of the circuits with the optical nerves of his eyes. the trick was simple, human eyes have countless receptors that detect the amount of lights
present, depending on the strength of the light the eye or more exactly the size of the cornea changes, if there is lesser light, it will gradually increase in size, the more the light the lesser the size will be. But like many other human physique, there are limits to how much the cornea can stretch. Reinforcing the eyes are in other words is taking off the limiter of one's eyes.

This is all done by simply converting the Prana to a nerve signal which in turn causes the cornea to release it's maximum potential. In the past, such complex maneuver wasn't really much of an option, it's like improvising an eye surgery, both holds the same risk, a damage in the eye and in extreme cases, a total loss in eyesight. Even for Shirou, who excelled in the study of body reinforcement, this was still a real risk.

But then again, using torches wasn't really a viable option, the adverse effects a smoke could impose on the body are enough to seriously impair the body's capacity of battle. Reinforcement was a well calculated risk and also something worth taking.

As per his calculation, Shiro managed to pull off the trick and gained temporary reinforcement of his eyes, his cornea stretched almost up to the very border of his eyelids, almost totally covering his eyes. The completely dark tunnel was again clear, The bottom of the stairs wasn't too far off from where Shirou stopped, without much of a hesitation, Shirou swiftly climbed down the stairs.

Although armed with reinforcement magic, Shiro had trouble finding a fine footing on his leg. uneven floors, Dusty air, and to top it all, even the light was getting too thin for him to catch a good detail of the tunnel. Compared to night vision, his reinforcement was still nowhere as advanced as what science had reached, he had to admit.

Even with giant nets, with not much fish to catch the result is not as impressive as it'd be, it might do better than normal fishing nets but still, that's as far as reinforcement goes. Unlike night vision, Reinforced eyes can't accumulate and increase the frequency of surrounding lights. The night vision is just like a giant net with lures. The fishes will be attracted to the very spot and what's more, the giant net will catch every single one of them. That's the fundamental difference between reinforcement and night vision and one of the many departments science had surpassed magic.

After another minute of dull walk on the dim tunnel, Shirou had to admit the limit of his reinforcement again as the vision finally faded completely. This was about the very limit he can push himself with magic, for now he had no choice but to rely on his last resort.

Shirou let out a deep sigh, he never wanted to use this method but heck, it's better than being blind all the way. Within a second, Shirou traced a single wooden torch on his right hand and pulled out a match from his pocket before lighting the torch. The torch ignited and lit the tunnel like a candle. And what do you know? He wasn't actually in the tunnel, he was in the middle of some spacious chamber that had mirrors on the celling. On the wall behind him were torches, they didn't look as sturdy as Shirou had hoped but was still just good enough to be used...at least for a short while.

Shiro spun around and faintly saw torches aligned on the edge of the circles, slowly walking his way, Shiro cautiously lit the torch. After finishing his first duty Shiro turned to light another one on the right. Just then, the torches started lighting in a consecutive order, starting right from the first lit torch and lighting one by one automatically in a clockwise order. In less than about twenty seconds the chamber illuminated in soothing milk orange, the manner in which it emerged from the total darkness reminded him of a scene he watched in one of Indiana Jones movies, the next he could expect shouldn't be much less different from his expectation.

The Gigantic room was cylindrical in shape, with space even bigger than the main chamber. There were hundreds of empty seats on top of the circle, the roof was dome shaped with Mirrors coated on them. The Structure resembled that of a Colosseum. He wagered, this is the very prototype of it.

"-Sigh- If only I had my camera with me..."
complained Shirou as he took time to look around this magnificent structure.
A quick observation revealed Gilgamesh's golden full plate Armor Gracefully stationed on the edge of the Circle on top of a small display column which didn't look so sturdy, and that was it. There wasn't anything remotely resembling Ea.

Letting out a sigh of disappointment, Shirou took the walkie talkie off from his belt and announced his status.

"Rin, Are you there?...Rin?"
A long pause.... For a moment there was an utter silence, then a loud cracker Ensued from the Radio and a sound of Rin's erratic Puff followed right after along with an unknown shrieking sound of an eagle, much to Shiro's panic.

"Rin... Can you hear me? Rin... What's wrong?!!"

"Not Now, dear! I'm in a bit of a pinch right now! Shlag Von Vin!!!! Damn, This thing's fast!!!"
Another sound of explosion and Rin's Voice disappeared from his ear. Along with other unworldly background Noises.

"Rin!!! Rin!!! Crap!!"
his Walkie Talkie,Shirou Immediately rushed towards the entrance, his muscles strained and twitched to the limits and his breath heavily stained with his inconsistent gasps.
But then a loud roaring sound Stopped him from his rush and A silhouette of a monster twice as big as him emerged out of nowhere.

"What the...."

"GRRoooAARRRR!!!!!

With only a split second to react Shirou Criss crossed Kanshou and Bakuya before his chest, creating a makeshift blockade that could do hardly as to block the massive speeding block of stone.
One giant swing from the monster, and his Blades cracked. His body was thrown twenty feet off the ground, rolling and rolling before his head crush head right to the display, causing Gilgamesh's golden armor to drop off . A gash open up on his head and drops of blood massively poured down from the gashes

For a moment, the body stay there silent as if there was no life left on it. But it wasn't long before Shirou kicked back to life.

"Hah... Hah..."
Using the column as a support to his shaking body, Shirou slowly pulled himself up from the ground, Wiping the blood off his face he started focusing his eyes on the abomination.

As the thing slowly closed into his position, lights slowly revealed the identity of the monster, lighting it slowly from down the shin to the chest and finally up to it's Dragonite head.

It's Body was massive, around ten to twelve feet high, it's whole body, except the abdomen and the chest was covered in Crimson Reptilian Scale. The monster was standing with both it's feet, the hands seemingly evolved enough to wield blunt weapons. The upper part of it's body closely represented that of a dragon, it's red top was further furnished with tiny horns that spread out from the armor like skull to the back of his head. It's nostrils spewed dark acrid smoke on the air as if it was a spawn summoned straight from hell.

"Great, a dragon.... Looks like I have no choice... Don't die on me Rin, I'll definitely come and get you."
Recovering from his haze, Shirou wiped the rest of the blood off from his head and traced another pair of kanshou bakuya on the palm of his hands before crossing his arms on his front. His eyes sharpened, slowly filling with a surge of killing intent; The battle stance is ready. The rest is going to be a test of skill and strength.

Shirou The Dragon (Sort of)

The hammer and the blades met , creating sparks of flames upon contact, Shirou and the Demi-dragon's weapons clashed in a mesmerizing show of light and Sonic sounds.

The hammer stroke down with the power of twenty thousand men but Shirou cleverly threw the blow off course by turning his body 90 degrees and holding up the sloped edge of kanshou bakuya before the blow, this simple yet brilliant maneuver created a way for the force of the slick hammer to slip slightly beside his body. With continuous monotonous attacks, Shirou kept parrying the strikes with precisely the same motion, using as little power as required.

Sliding past blow after blow, Kanshou and Bakuya continued their clash with the Crushing blow of the wind slashing Hammer, from afar it would've looked as if a leaf was gliding within the hurricane, the hammer blow was a force to be reckoned with but it never managed any harm on Shirou.

After streaks of parries, The demi-dragon Held the hammer high up to it's limit, this in turn created a narrow gap for Shirou to jump 4 meters away from the monster and enter into an offensive position.

Having forced to withstand all the attacks, his body was sweating and all numb from the hellish beatings he had to counter, his arms twitched and his frantic breathing told of the evident exhaustion,but in the end it all paid off. The dragon's attack has been thwarted, moreover he has discovered it's weakness. The battle tactic was ready, the next thing that's left was to exploit that thin gap in the enemy's weakness.

"Kanshou, Bakuya."

Another set of blades formed the palm Of his hands to initiate his trump card. Shirou mastered this technique during a serious sparring match with Saber in the Magi association right before he decided to quit, and he's about to use it for the first time in actual combat. If archer had Over edge as his trump card this could be considered his original killing move.

Finishing his tracing, Shirou immediately reinforced his legs and armss to his Maximum and sprinted the distance of four meters. Within a quarter of a second, the dragon had expected the attack and swung it horizontally towards Shirou, but within that split second interval Shirou ducked almost flat on the ground and dodged the swing. But that wasn't the end of the sequence of attacks, Shiro too had expected this beforehand and came up with this Idea all along. Using the Momentum of his duck Shirou released his bent leg. The jump took him five meters off the ground, almost twice as high as the monster. Using Gravity as a catalyst, Shirou made a quick spin and held Kanshou Bakuya high on his hands to strike the enemy from mid air.

It all seemed too late when the dragon managed to get it's armored hand to block the blow. But this in fact wasn't the final stage of his move.

"Freeze out!"
with that clamor, Kanshou and bakuya disappeared from his grip. The demi dragon which was bracing for the attack was briefly brought back by this sudden twist, the strike was strong enough to rip through it's scale, but yet he still chose to pull back.

"Kanshou, Bakuya"
As his arms passed by the Demi-dragon's hand, another twist unfolded, within that short gap of time a pair of twin blades formed, bypassing the armor and speeding towards it's only weak point, the chest and the abdomen. Without giving it any second to react, Shirou slashed right through the Demi-Dragon. Ripping right from it's Chest right down to it's crotch.

It was an attack that can never be blocked by any means of defense, coupled with a strike strong enough to rip through the hardest armor available. It's one of the most perfect form of attack available to him. It's name ; "Kanshou Bakuya,Armor Breaker".

It is also The only trump card in his disposal that managed to give Shirou, his one and only victory against Saber in their hundreds of sparring matches. It's only downfall is that it can never be used twice in a heating battle, thus emphasizing the trump card prefix.

The Hellish creature screeched in deep anger. Overtaken by the inhuman insanity, the Demi-Dragon flung it's only weapon towards Shirou, But a quick reflex prevented him from Experiencing it's impact.

Though landing a virtually ineffectual attack, it soon be came clear that the enemy wasn't about to give up. Following right behind the attack, the Demi-Dragon charged at full speed, Shirou who was busy dodging the previous didn't have enough time and reflexes to dodge that attack, once again his body flung out on the air like a doll. But fortunately for Shiro, his reinforcement absorbed most of the impact damage.

The demi dragon thought victory was near when he saw the boy roll on the ground like a lifeless puppet, he was angry, so angry that he'd kill him and devour his flesh until nothing was left of it. But first, the Softening of the meat, yes... it has been half a decade of millenia since he got his hands on the morsels of a human, sealed off under king Gilgamesh's order to protect his treasury. To start off, the body of this delinquent juvenile would make his day. So softening the meat... yes Soften it... Soften it...yes...

The dragon leap high up on the air tens of feet off the ground. Covered by dust, the image wasn't clear, the boy is nonetheless dead... dead...dead... no?

As the monster began it's fall from mid air, the dust debris dissipated and within that cover, the Orange haired boy emerged with a sleek golden alabaster sword held high on top towards the Demi Dragon. there were gashes everywhere but he wasn't dead... quite the opposite, his eyes were telling of the final End of the Demi dragon, it was the Demi-dragon who'll be seeing hell, the fate has been sealed, there was no turning back.

Shirou plunged Caliburn inside the Free falling dragon's heart with both his hands on the grip, it pierced through the rib cage, the lung the heart and finally emerged behind the back, creating a deep irrevocable cavity in it's chest.

Next, everything went into deep utter silence. The dragon's body slowly dissipated into the air like ashes, leaving Shirou with nothing but the gleaming holy sword radiating the chamber with subtle orange light.

End Battle phase I, Victor: Shiro Emiya. Elapsed time: five minutes and thirty seconds

Shirou Held his breath before releasing Caliburn from his grip and cutting out his Prana supply. He leaned his exhausted body by the wall and slowly regulated his breathing, his back ached like hell and his physical capability was at it's limit.

His body told him to give it all up and sleep but his mind didn't let him; Rin was in danger and he knew she'd need his help,

"God, arrgh!!! my back!!"
Forcing his almost disfunctioning body to stand up,Shiro held his aching back before limping his way out of the large chamber. The torches shut down in an instant he set foot outside the chamber and everything was once again immersed in total darkness.

"Oh, Come on!!!!"
And as you'd expect,he had to reinforce his eyes all the way out of it again.

Battle Phase II Tohsaka Rin: Stop it

"Not Now, dear! I'm in a bit of a pinch right now! Shlag Von Vin!!!!...Damn, This thing's fast!!!"
Hiding behind the countless number of high columns, Rin braced herself from the bombs or rather, excrements the flying eagle-like monster spewed from it's mouth. The acidic solution sent everything it touched to mere ashen liquid. The gandr spells were used as a counter measure but the agility of this monster rivaled that of an eagle, the eagle just dodged the puny enrgy balls like flies. The only difference is that it in fact has a very-very nasty bite, and of course the most important part; it retaliates.

"Dammit!"
The ball of light missed the eagle by an inch wide, it was the closest she could get so far and seeing the situations until now, it wasn't going to be getting any better now. To add to that, The eagle's sense was so refined that the slightest sound was enough for it to immediately triggered it's attack. As ridiculous as it might seem, the eagle didn't really charge down at her it just spat green globs like some nightmarish insects. And for all the love of god, it's very...very painful to the eye, literally speaking.

Right now, Rin just barely managed to dodge another one of those eagle blobs, the tower like giant columns hit by that missile, simply had it's contact section crumble and fell. She was definitely in an all time pinch, and what's worse, she didn't have anybody else to cast her blames to.

It all started like this, after they split up Rin chose to go to this tunnel, it was a short three minute walk and she wasn't really expecting anything in particular, except that... that...she ran into something that any girl would die to have.

As you might have guessed by now, What she found here in this chamber rife with tall columns was the potion of youth, She knew that because the black ceramic box had it neatly engraved on it, being at her late twenties, Rin was also starting to worry about aging. Contrary to Luvia, her perpetual rival who looked to have a permanently fixated Baby face, Rin's face was evolving (at least in her opinion)into a hideous creation. Who would blamed her? After all she's a gir...(err...that's not right) a Woman.

She was always as beautiful as she'd be in her husband's eyes but as always the female who pick up the tiny details. Anyway, returning to our main point, she simply opened the rock cover and tried touching it, Boom! An acid spraying eagle appeared out of nowhere. That's when Rin painfully realized that greed leads to one's inevitable downfall. Anyway that's one tiny lesson doomed to exist as one mere part of countless junks in her brain, conclusion reached, end of story.

"Damn!!, at this rate my mana is going to deplete before I can do jack shit on that damn thing."
Rin slowly spun her head towards the eagle, seemingly fixed motionlessly on the air.

"She's like...fixed on the air just like that...wait, hold on...fixed means stop... stop..."
A small grin formed on her lips, as you'd have guessed, she's come back with one heck of an idea.

Rin VS The Eagle (Identity unknown) Rank B

Rin steadily reached to her back pack and picked up four candy pop shaped totem wards from her bag and placed them neatly in between her belt two on the right the rest she on the left. She knew what they are for and knew well how potent they are.

She received them when she first came across the Red mage during one of her personal mineralogy expedition to further advance the inner structure of jeweled sword Zelretch which had been completed to only around twenty percent back then. These four totems are said to be able to utterly stop the very fabric of space; space bending if you'd like to put it. But there is one hefty condition that has to be made, they must be aligned horizontally in a square pattern and must be installed at least 4 feet above ground. Rin knew this was going to be a test of speed and agility, whoever is slower will surely be killed or worse.

"Alright, Steady... Use your logic, Think.... Think...."
Slowly, Rin took out a pocket mirror from her bag, and tried reflecting faint sun rays coming from the ceiling, by what she had seen so far, the eagle seemed to only react at movements just like the eagles do themselves, if his hypothesis is true then the eagle was sure to react to the reflection. When that happens she will start executing her tactic.

"Alright... let's see how you do."
Within a quarter of a second, the eagle reacted, flying head fast towards the light, getting on the range before spitting it's gel on the decoy.

(A chance!)

Moving out of her hideout, Rin aimed her left hand at the eagle and started pouring streaks of gandr blasts at it, and before they knew it the table began to turn. The eagle was suddenly thrown into a defensive position. Unlike Rin's previous attacks, the momentum of the attack was much more frequent, with incredible rate of gandr flung at it's position, it had not much of an option but to dodge them in mid air. It was like a miniature dogfight, only this time, the one being chased was much more agile than a normal average F-17 jet fighter and that the one in pursuit was virtually a mobile machine gun.

Rin saw this as a definite chance and sprinted towards the nearest wall of this cubical room before plunging the first ward into a crack on the crumbling wall. Next, Rin set her eyes on the wall to the western edge of her position, where the display case of the vial of youth was set. But by now her body started experiencing it's limits, her magic circuits were slowly burning out by the continuous currents of mana it kept generating, in conjunction to that, her arms were beginning to twitch and feel burning sensations. Even with all the hindrance she had to go on, stopping here would only result in her death. This is the point where her Martial Arts training kicks in. Rin conjured every last bit of her courage and closed her eyes, her mind began to fill with this word:

(The Mind is blank, The body feels nothing.)

Rin's pain began to disappear gradually, her magic circuits began circulating steadily and not long after, she found her second wand buried in the wall on the west.

Next, Rin sprinted towards the Northern part of the chamber but then something out of her calculation happened, just before she successfully plunged her third wand. Rin lost the sight of the eagle when a giant column got in the way of gandr shots and the beasts. Causing both of them to fall into a stalemate. Rin pushed onwards for the last sprint, this split second gap will decide everything thus, no errors will be allowed.

"Just One more to go!"
Just when Rin sprinted halfway through, her eyes and the eagle's met, their distant wasn't even ten meters away and the eagle was flying at low altitude under the wall of columns. Rin felt Shiver running down her spine, but at least there were only few steps left before Rin could finally take her breather. Immediately after sighting the eagle Rin reinforced her legs to the maximum extent she could and made a big jump, gandr wasn't much of an option, if she even fails to hit the target she's sure to be doomed, at best she could hope for now was a battle of speed.

The eagle immediately hurled it's body towards it's prey, it's speed was like that of a speeding train, Rin was definitely faster than most humans but the eagle had far better edge in this contest of speed. Now it was down to pure luck.

"Reeeaaaccchhhh!!!!"

-Wham-
A split second later,Rin started experiencing faint anesthesia the world seemingly rolled inside a giant torrent of haze, just before she immersed herself into a deep sleep she saw her left arm seemingly punctured and spilling blood.

"...Dammit...so close..."
Rin fell on the ground, immediately helping herself into a nice slumber.

Right behind her back, the body of the eagle stopped petrified on the air, it's peck pierced through few millimeter of Rin's flesh but that was it, in the end Rin had the far better edge in the contest of luck, and that was something to be relieved of.

The Ward has stuck on the wall, a bounded field of stagnancy engulfed the chamber. The eagle was left paused on the air, drawn into an eternal slumber of nothingness.

Battle Phase II Victor: Tohsaka Rin. Elapsed time : nine minutes fifty seconds, opponent identiy: Unknown.

-five minutes later-

"Rin! Rin! Answer me! Rin! No, God... please..."
On his hand was Rin, unconscious and all out of Stamina, the battle has made her deplete most of her Mana. Her body, which has been pushed through the limited didn't respond all too well with Shirou's ardent effort of waking her up. To shirou she looked good as dead...of course,who wouldn't think so, her breathing was barely there, all Shirou could do was shaking the motionless body continuously.

"Please...Rin... I beg you..."
A warm tear streamed down his cheek, coupled with his desperate shimmering voice. Her love was dead, (well, nearly but not quite). The streaming Tear formed a droplet on the tip of his nose before gently landing on the lips of Rin, Seeping in between the narrow space on her lips.

"nggg.... It's too salty Shirou...the egg... tastes like tears."

"Rin......huh?"
Shirou opened his eyes. His wife was there, on his arms, sleep talking. Twitching her eyes and shaking her head left to right.
A surge of relief enwrapped Shirou along with a sense of foolishness. What girlish action has he been forced to do!

"........."
Wiping away the last of his tears, Shirou pulled his hands out from Rin. Her head came impacting the ground at precisely seven inch off.

"Gah!!!! What!!! The Eagle!!!!"
Rin woke up with a rather hysterical plink. A nice prop on her cheek by Shiro pulled her back on her sense.

"Ouch! Shiro? Hah.... phew, thank god...I thought I was in the other world."

"Yeah... for a moment there I thought you were a goner too."
Said Shiro Stoically as he pointed his finger at the Stoned eagle like figure dangling on the air with particularly nothing to support it.

"Heh? I see, your eyes are red and bloat with all the crying. Don't worry Shirou, I won't leave this world before you."

"You'd better be right about that."
Another stream of tear ran down Shirou, this time, out of sheer happiness.

"Please don't do that again will you?"

"Alright, Alright! Man! What a crybaby."
Scratching her head Rin spun her head outwards from Shirou before standing and walking her way towards the walkie talkie. There's still Saber, and her status hasn't been confirmed.

"Hello? This is Rin, what's your status saber?"
After a moment of radio white noise and a sound of their partner emerged, this time without any monstrous background noises.

"Ea, Con-----rmed"

"What? I can't hear you clearly. Saber, Try pulling the antenna out."

"What.... Antenna?"

"The pointy head on your radio."

"Ah..."
A moment later another sound, this time,with a much more clearer one emerged.

"Rin, Shirou, I have confirmation of Ea. I repeat, Confirmation of Ea."
Rin and Shirou's face glimmered with a sign of gladness, and before they knew it, they were shouting on high tone. The news was a good one but not as much as the fact that they didn't have to go through another one of those hellish battles without any result. But work is work and the time wasn't nigh for parties.

"Anyway, did you happen to come cross any beasts?"
Almost immediately a reply came. A stoic one

"Yes."

"Great! Can you tell us more?"

"......Do you really want to know?"
Shirou and Rin stopped briefly before answering back, with a rather tired tone.

"On second thought, please don't"

"Glad you said it Shirou, now let's get this over with and head back to base"

"Alright, wait there Saber, we're coming right up."
