Around The World

Shiro had a yoyo. More importantly, he was currently using said toy to drive his supposedly older sister nuts. Here she was, using mystical codes to if not outright kill her brother, then seriously maim him and he was holding her off with single yoyo! And not even a particularly dangerous yoyo like object like something made out of steel with piano wire serving as the string but a simple plastic butterfly style thing you could buy for a few hundred yen a piece.

"Take me seriously!" Illya yelled as she sent a whole flock of twelve birds out at him.

"I am taking you seriously. By the way, you're going to go bald if you keep that up." Shiro said even as he began quick launch and pull techniques with his yoyo in a move that brought to mind a viper rapidly striking again and again as he knocked her Mystic Codes out of the sky.

Illya let out a roar of rage that was rather similar to her Servant that Saber was keeping busy, the King of Knights doing her best to follow Shiro's order of 'Keep it busy, but don't waste a killing move.' Given how this was their second encounter with Illya during this war and Shiro had taken the time to do a bit of research on Heracles, she understood the order even if she thought she could kill the Demigod enough times with Excalibur. Still, Shiro had said he had a bad feeling when he learned about the Holy Grail they were supposedly fighting for and the teen wanted to keep it from being charged for as long as possible until he learned more. Saber couldn't say that she agreed, but she would hold her silence on the matter for now, understanding the need for more information. Wars had been lost over bad intel after all. Back with the Emiya siblings though.

After her roar of rage, Illy pulled out dozens of her hairs and they all formed into glowing blue implements of aviary death that quickly formed a dome around Shiro before they all came in from every direction at once. The brief look of panic on Shiro's face was EXTREMELY satisfying for Illya before her brother became obscured as the descending birds blocked him from sight for a moment. That satisfaction quickly fled her mind as the birds were blasted back as Shiro slung TWO yoyos all around his body in gyroscopic motions keeping them away from him. Probably the biggest thing that concerned Illya though was the look of annoyance that was now on her adoptive brother's face.

"I've had enough of your temper tantrums Illya." Shiro declared right before his left hand yoyo shot out and wrapped around Illya's hands before pulling taunt, keeping them bound together and pulled away from her hair. The albino barely got out a startled "Hey!" before Shiro did an Around The World trick of spinning his right yoyo in a full circle in the air to get momentum before he launched it right at Illya's forehead. The plastic smacked itself dead center of her forehead and Illya's eyes immediately rolled back as she collapsed to the ground.

Shiro immediately dismissed his current weapons of choice and said "I think my grumpy sister needs a nap."

Berserker let out a roar that almost came off as concerned and quickly broke away from Saber to quickly snatch his Master off of the ground before Astralizing and departing from the fight.

As Saber walked over at a much calmer pace than her counterpart had, she shook her head and asked "Master, why didn't you just do that five minutes ago when they first showed up?"

Shiro sighed and said "I was hoping to have a decent conversation with her, maybe even get some information that her family has on the grail. But I guess that won't be happening anytime soon."

Saber put a hand on his shoulder in sympathy and said "Don't worry Master, I'm sure you'll get through to her eventually."

Shiro gave another sigh as he said "One can only hope. Come on, this little skirmish of ours has somehow put me in the mood for spaghetti and meatballs." As Shiro began leaping with reinforced legs up to and across rooftops, Saber allowed the merest drop of drool to form in her mouth before following. Her Master made the absolutely best food she ever tasted after all.
