If you've noticed, usually, the chapter titles start with "Enter". For this 10th chapter, and for the 20th chapter, etc, the title will start with "Exit". Treat it like an elimination in those Bachelor shows. Sorry, but this has to be done.

BTW, eliminations are decided by votes, so if your favorite character was booted, blame the others, not me.

Poll Results: King Arturia sits safely on her throne as the fan-favorite female character.

Chapter Ten: Exit Red Saber

"My Shirou-sense is tingling!" exclaimed Saber, getting up from her futon. Her Master was probably in deep shi-poop, wherever he was , and she would do anything to save him. Strapping on her armor, and gripping Excalibur's hilt, she was raring to go.

Of course, her alter egos had the same idea. See, they all loved Shirou to an extent, so you can bet that they'll help save him. Alter liked him as someone she could berate and... have "fun" with forcefully. Red liked him because she could act all superior and show off. Lily liked him because he filled in the gaps of her feminimity (He could cook and do housework). Sadie is Sadie.

"W-What are you doing here?" asked Sadie.

"Duh, we're gonna save Shirou!" exclaimed Lily.

"Yeah, that idiot won't be able to survive without my intervention," proclaimed Red Saber.

All that Saber Alter said was, "...peasant...".

Then the girls felt an ominous presence appear. They looked toward the evil aura, only to be graced by Rider's presence. Medusa smirked.

"I'd like to help out too," said Rider, no trace of ulterior motives in her tone. "My Master commanded me to watch over Shirou, so no matter how reluctant I may be, I must assist the young Emiya. Plus, if my hunch is correct, I have a bone to pick with the kidnapper."

Sadie objected, "No way, keep your blood-stained hands to yourself!"

"But aren't yours stained with blood too, Arturia?"

Before things could get out of hand, Lily interjected, "Guys, we have to save Shirou now! My senses are going bonkers!"

Ending the debate, they went out of the house. Rider summoned Pegasus, Alter and Red took Shirou's bikes, while Lily and Sadie took a cab.

'Shirou, please be safe.'

Of course, Shirou wasn't safe at all. The girl unrelentingly kept on asking him the same question over and over again.

"Where is the gorgon?! I smell her scent on thy blood-stained hands!"

Shirou, tired from staying up all night, said, "I don't know what you're talking abou-" Then realization hit him. Rider's real identity is Medusa. Medusa, in Greek mythology, is one of the sister gorgons. Even if they had a shaky relationship, he didn't want to sell Rider out too quickly.

"How about you tell me why you want to know. Are you Gree- ack!" exclaimed Shirou, a knife now embedded into his calf.

"Thou art in no position to make demands, orange-headed one," calmly replied Atalanta, as if Shirou hadn't cried out in pain just then.

Shirou begged, "At least stop the bleeding! I'll die at this rate! Did you strike a vital vein or something?" Blood was now gushing out of Shirou's system like a geyser eruption. He estimated that he would lose a liter of blood every five minutes. In that case, he would lose all of his blood in twenty five minutes.

To his surprise, she brought out a strip of cloth, and wrapped it around Shirou's wound. That would let him last about ten more minutes, since that wound was deep.

"Now make haste. Tell me the gorgon's location so I can eliminate- Wait, it is here." She then summoned her bow. 'Wait, why is Rider here? Maybe it's another gorgon.'

Atalanta, Champion of the Moon Goddess, Pride of Arcadia, and a former virgin. Now, she's a gorgon hunter, to vent on the loss of her purity, and to help mankind.

After leaving the strange orange man, she stealthily sneaked towards her prey. Medusa, the woman in the risque clothing who stood next to Pegasus. Atalanta loathed women like Medusa, who treat their bodies like trophies. To the princess, a woman's body is a sacred sanctuary, and should be treated as such.

She split her bow into two, making them into twin blades again. After examining her target, she had found out that Pegasus is very adapted to projectiles and will automatically dodge them, so arrows are useless, even at her firing rate. She then sped toward her target.

"Trace ON!" Shirou finished projecting a blade. He then cut off his restraints. Unluckily for him, he heard footsteps coming from the other side of the door, reminding him of the time he was captured by Ilya. Sadly, there were no beds he could hide under in the vicinity. Thinking quick, he barred the door with the sword in his hand. Then he herd bangs coming from the other side. He backed away, projecting yet another sword.

He heard muffled voices, then a few more bangs. 'Definitely her minions,' thought Shirou. Then the door gave way, just as Shirou limped/charged.

"Gwah!"

"Gwah!" exclaimed Atalanta, getting knocked back several meters by Rider's kick. She then threw one of her twin blades. Nail and bow met. Atalanta waved the other bow limb, and the blade flew back into her hand. Getting off of Pegasus, Rider took a stance.

The two clashed yet again. The two were like a tornado of destruction, since they were both specialized at speed. The pink blur met green, and they both had a goal. Kill. Kill, kill, kill. That's all they wanted out of the other. Then they parted.

"Thy efforts art foolish. Thou shalt eventually taste the steel of my blade, Medusa!"

All Rider did was smirk. "Let's test that theory, shall we?"

The woman known as Red Saber had a sword in her stomach, and for some reason, she wasn't moving. Nor bleeding. All she felt was her essence leaving her body.

"Saber, I'm sorry! Let me pull this out of you-"

"AH!" exclaimed Red Saber, who turned into a red ball of... light, which then went into Sadie. A ton of emotions came back to life, her pride as a king, her pride as a wielder of Excalibur, and her pride for her love for-

Clang! A sound of steel colliding could be heard outside.

"Wait, you guys brought Rider here?!" asked Shirou. The girls nodded. It took all of his willpower not to facepalm. If Atalanta met Rider, they would fight, no doubt about it.

"Damn, c'mon, we have to save Rider!" exclaimed Shirou, running to where he herd the clash. All the girls could do was follow.

And you have now reached the end of the story. Sorry for booting Red Saber, but it's too hard to juggle more that ten girls at once. That should motivate you to vote, even if you have to create an account to do so!

Goodbye!
