While Ritsuka is trying to explain everything to Rin, they're greeted by someone at the door of the Tohsaka Residence.
"So, mind explaining why Emiya Kun and Saber are both unconscious?" - Rin said with a menacing smile while charging Gandr with one hand.
"Wait, hold on! I swear that there is a good explanation!" -
"Then don't keep me waiting, please speak immediatly" -
Ritsuka was now being interrogated by Rin while Archer and Salter were standing at the side while looking at the scene.
"We got into a confrontation in the park, something happened to them, they weren't acting rationally" - Fujimaru tried to explain.
"My Master is saying the truth, they even talked about how we harmed you" - Salter entered the conversation.
"Hurting me? Why would they think something like that? It's ridiculous" -
"Yeah, that's what we mean, the attack was without reason, like they were being controlled by something" -
"Well, then we'll have to wait 'til they manage to wake up so we can ask them. Now, should..." -
Before Rin could finish talking, she heard someone at the door. She went to open it, finding Rider standing at the front, with Sakura behind her.
"We came here to form an allience" -
"Sakura? You were the Master of Rider?" - Rin asked, but the purple haired girl didn't answered.
"Can we come in?" - Rider asked.
"Sure, we just got 2 others over here" -
Sakura and Medusa made their way inside the house, where they first thing they saw in the living room where the unconscious Shirou and Saber.
"What happened to Senpai!?" - she yelled
"Long story, we got into a fight and we had to knock them out. They should be fine, hopefully" - Ritsuka said - "Hi Sakura, you took the offer?" -
"Yeah, and... Something strange happened. I saw a strange figure outside of my house, just watching and all of the sudden it dissapeared" -
"Strange figure? What did it looked like?" - Rin asked.
"I couldn't see it well, like it was made of Shadows..." -
"Another Shadow Servant?" - Salter said to Ritsuka via telepathy.
"Most likely" -
"Rider took me here and I swear that while we were walking here, something was following us" -
"You felt anything Rider?" -
"I didn't, but for my Master's safety we came as fast as we could" -
"Good idea, at least here we have more Servants that can protect us in case of an attack, but... If those things are still out there we won't be able to stay here for long, they'll find us eventually" -
"Rin's right, I'd suggest going back to the Temple and cleaning it of enemies before setting a base" - a man said as he entered through the door.
"Hi Kuzuki, what were you doing?" -
"He still has to work as a teacher remember? We can skip school but if he does its going to raise some suspicions" - Rin answered Ritsuka's question.
"Makes sense" -
"Ugh... My head..." - Shirou's voice softly said as the boy started to regain consciousness alongside his Servant - "Where... Tohsaka?" -
"Good night Shirou. I think someone here owns you an apology" -
"He's the one who threatened, not me" -
"Fujimaru..." -
"Fine... Sorry for knocking you out, shouldn't have done that" -
"I'm not sorry" - Salter said as she stood besides her Master.
"Didn't expected otherweise" -
"Shirou, do you remember anything from this morning? Because Ritsuka says you and Saber were acting weird" - Tohsaka asked while Sakura held his head.
"Do I... Remember? I remember... Issei came to the residence in the morning, we spoke and he said that I... Needed to do something. After that, I don't remember much else" -
"Issei? Kuzuki, did he acted weird today at school?" - Sakura asked him, as she as well didn't went to school.
"Not at all, he acted normal" -
"He must've been manipulated by someone else, but who? Caster's on our..." -
Before Rin could finish talking, something crashed outside of the Tohsaka Residence. They all went outside to see what was going on, finding Medea on the ground, covered in burns.
"They're... Close... Prepare" - she weakly said as Kuzuki held her and helped her stand up. A few seconds later, footsteps begun approaching everyone. They all saw what had attacked Medea.
It was an army of Shadow Servants, 24 to be exact, and all of them started to slowly close in the group, but they didn't attacked. No, they were studying their enemies.
EMIYA, Salter, Artoria and Medusa prepared for a fight, even if they were heavily outnumbered by them. The Shadow Servants kept doing nothing, until one of them took a step forward, Shadow Jeanne D'Arc.
"What is she doing..?" -
The Shadow Ruler raised her flag, like a battle signal. When she does, all of the other summoned their weapons and prepared for a fight.
"Ritsuka Kun, I think using a Command Seal on Salter so she can use Excalibur Morgan would be useful" -
"You're right... Alter, by my..." -
Before Ritsuka could finish using a Command Seal, a distinctive roar was heard fast approaching all of them. Rin and Shirou opened their eyes in fear.
"Berserker..." -
The giant suddenly appeared from the treeline and started to destroy the Shadow Servants, with none of the putting any significal resistance against him. Then, Da Vinci contacted Ritsuka once more.
"Fujimaru Kun, this was their plan! They attacked Illya and Heracles and then drove them towards the Tohsaka Residence!" -
That was the reason as to why they didn't attacked the group. Medea on the other hand got seen by them and attacked, leading to her crashing in front of the place.
Before she was destroyed by Heracles, in between the mass of shadow that made her, they could swear a faint smile was seen in the face of Jeanne.
After Heracles was done with all of them, Illya appeared from behind the giant while he prepared his giant weapon once again.
"They're all here... Crush them all, Berserker" -
