Kayneth is bending down clutching his chest blood dripping from his wound, his mind is filled with chaos, disbelief, confusion, and rage. WHAT KIND OF PERSON IN HELL SHOT THE HOSTAGE?
The cross that hold Irisveil is melting, Kayneth is to shocked in order to control it manually. Irisveil empty eyes is open as she fall to the ground, her blood is dripping down creating a pool of blood.
Kayneth original plan was to used the vessel as leverage to force Master of Saber to sign a geass for submission, so that he can use Saber in exchange for the vessel. But never in his imagination that rat would rather shot the vessel to get to him!
The rage on his mind that had nowhere to go come showing on Kayneth face, he was livid at the action of the bastard in front of him, he will kill him, oh hewon't just simply kill this bastard. He will heal his lungs and heart to make them revive, then slowly deal with starting from toes, he will make him die in regret, in pain, in despair.
"You bastard" Kayneth started mumbling.
"YOU FUCKING BASTARD" Kayneth screamed at Kiritsugu, only for something fell on his side he looked at it, it's a fragmentation grenade, kayneth eyes widened as it exploded. The force of the explosion throw Irisveil body to the side the fragment damaging her more, Kayneth meanwhile is safe barely able to protect himself with Volumen Hydrargyrum.
"I WILL KILL Y...""BANG"
Kayneth screamed was halted as another bullet lodge itself to his chest, right where his heart is. Kiritsugu barely have the time to reload his gun after throwing the grenade, he even use his magecraft to speed up his movement in order to deal the last blow to Kayneth.
Kayneth fall to his knees his rage gone leaving him no more strength to stand, in Kayneth's mind a figure of a beautiful woman came to him before his body slump to the ground.
"Sola-ui" was the last word Kayneth said before everything is devoured by darkness.
Seeing this Kiritsugu relaxed he let his guns fall to the ground, before shakily walk toward Irisveil body, he is surprisingly calm his face a stoic mask unperturbed by anything.
Only when he reached Irisveil remains Kiritsugu fall to his knees, all energy leaving his body while looking at his wife corpse. He touched her face she is still warm, he thought.
"Irisveil...I"
"I am not worthy of you" Kiritsugu choked.
The night has never been colder to kiritsugu.

Lancer sighed, he looked at his dissipating hand, how foolish he thought, not only he failed to kill Saber he also failed to protect his Master. Lancer head is down in shame and disappointment for himself.
"Perhaps this is fate" Lancer muse, remembering his own life while touching the mole on his face.
"Lancer" Saber looked at Lancer feeling pity in her heart.
Lancer looked at Saber, who is looking at him with pity, the King of Britain in all of her glory is looking at him with pity, truly she is an honorable knight he envied the knights of the round table to be able to serve such a King, but alas.
"Don't look at me with such eyes Saber, you dishonor me"
"Lancer" Saber looked on guiltily there is no doubt in her mind that Kiritsugu is the cause of this.
"This is a natural fate for a failure wench like me" Lancer said with self-loathing
"That is not true" Saber shook he her head and denied him.
"You are not a failure Lancer, even until the end you tried to fulfill your duty and prove you're loyalty to your master. You're a splendid knight with pride and honor don't let anything say otherwise"
Lancer looked at Saber for a moment and snort.
"Your word flattered me Saber, thank you" Lancer said in gratitude, he then looked toward the night sky.
"Let this blessing become the last word of Diarmuid Ua Duibhne the son of Donn, I prayed from the bottom of my heart that the winner of the Holy Grail War will have their wish granted to them" Lancer said while bowing elegantly to Saber.
"Farewell Saber, may we meet again in another chance"
Saber looked on while Lancer perish in bright light.

When Kiritsugu return to the castle, he saw Saber coming at him.
"Kiritsugu!!" She screamed walking over to him.
"What have you done!!?" Her rage was cooled down by what she saw.
She saw kiritsugu holding Irisveil in a princess carry, this scene would be romantic if it isn't for the fact that Irisveil in Kiritsugu hold is dead.
"W...what happened?" Saber asked.
Kiritsugu ignored her and kept walking to the castle, this incensed Saber.
"Kirit..." she stopped halfway when Kiritsugu addressed her for the first time.
"You asked me what am I gonna do if Rider came with his master"
Kiritsugu speak to Saber behind him, Saber could feel something in his tone something dark. He turned and looked at Saber right in the eye.
"I will killed him, before he killed me" Kiritsugu declared.
Saber shuddered, the look in Kiritsugu eyes unnerved her from her perspective his previously dead and empty eyes is now filled with determination, rage, and self-loathing a look of someone who had nothing to lose.
After his declaration Kiritsugu continued his walk to the castle undisturbed, Saber looked on in pity.
"Kiritsugu"
Suddenly, a thunderous roar sounded beside her ears. The roar came from a nearby thunder,Saber, who was following Kiritsugu tense up and started quickening her steps.
galloped through the tragically ruined castle; their destination was the terrace outside of the door. Since the opponent was attacking from the front, they should be able to meet him there.
"The thunder just then, and this senseless tactic… the opponent should be Rider." Kiritsugu said.
Saber remembered the overwhelming power of the Noble Phantasm 'Gordius Wheel' she witnessed a few days ago at the warehouse street. The chariot entwined with thunder and pulled by divine bulls.
"Oi, King of Knights! I especially came to meet you, come out, aye?" a shout can be heard from where they stand.
"Saber" kiritsugu called.
"Dealt with him" he ordered.
Saber just nod, before sprinting to the castle, the sound came from the main hall; it looks like the other party had already entered the door. Without a doubt, the enemy was the King of Conquerors, Alexander. Judging by his powerful and reverberating call, his tone was not like a warrior about to fight.
But Saber didn't dare to be slack, she prepared for battle.
Saber finally went past the corridors and came to the terrace, but when she saw the enemy Servant standing in the hall with his chest puffed out, she didn't know what to say.
"…"
"Yo, Saber. I wanted to have a look after I heard about the castle here, what happened to it, aye?"
Not apologetic at all, Rider smiled, baring his teeth.

On the other side of the city, on top of the skyscrapers building.
Berserker is looking at Assassin in front of him.
"Berserker, I came for an alliance with you" Assassin said.
Berserker just looked at her silently
