"Shirou, stay back!"
A barrage of red arrows were continuously fired upon Saber and Prince Shirou. Obviously, it was none other than Archer's arrows. The blonde knight and his prince continued their journey towards the Tohsaka kingdom, even if Assassin killed their escorts and Archer nearly killed both Saber and Shirou.
*BOOM*
"Saber!" Shirou yelled towards his wounded servant
Saber tried to deflect the incoming arrows, but it only resulted in having her shoulder punctured by the bowman's arrow. Shirou helped Saber get up and they hid behind a big tree. Saber wanted to retaliate to his master's actions, but it only resulted in Shirou nearly using a command seal on her.
"Shirou, we must keep marching forward. Don't worry about my wound." Saber told her master
"Are you crazy, Saber?! That arrow severed your left shoulder!" Shirou yelled in response
"But Shirou-"
"Don't make me use a command seal on you Saber!" Shirou replied, reminding Saber that he is the master and he must be followed at all times
"Y-Yes, master... Forgive me." replied Saber, averting eye to eye contact with Shirou

"Archer?" Rin murmured in confusion
Rin found it odd that Archer had his bow out. She saw him from afar, standing on his usual spot. He held his bow on his left arm and a black sword formed on the palms of his right hand. She saw Archer as he placed the sword on the bow, and the amount of mana Archer produced.
"It's that chant again..." Rin thought in the back of her mind as she read Archer's lips
Archer fired the sword and a massive shockwave soon erupted from his spot. The shockwave forced Rin back, making her sit on the ground.
"Agh!"
When she opened her eyes, she followed the trail the black sword left. It was headed for the forest, and she glanced back at Archer who's stoic face was now replaced with a frown. This time, Archer traced his red arrows. He continuously fired them towards the forest.
Soon, people around the kingdom started to notice the servant. The citizens including the guards were all looking at Archer with mixed feelings. Some, were mesmerized at how he gracefully fired each arrow; while the others were getting afraid, saying that "he is too violent."
Rin ran towards the tower to ask Archer what's going on. But before she could get to the tower, Archer fired an arrow with an explosive amount of prana, and a shockwave forced back the Princess once more and the citizens around.
They felt the explosion of the arrow, as the ground shook for 5 seconds. Archer now had a grin on his face.
"Go to where my arrow exploded. If you find 2 bodies, bring them here." Archer instructed some knights below him
The knights got on their horses and set forth towards the middle of the forest. Everything was unknown to Rin, and she felt that something bad had or may happen. She glanced back at Archer once more, who finally noticed her. Black orbs and turquoise orbs met and were locked with each other; that is until Archer averted his eyesight and looked back towards the forest, grinning once more; which left the Tohsaka Princess confused.

"How idiotic of you!"
A woman, cloaked in black, was scolding the purple-clad Samurai. Or better known as Assassin. It seems that Assassin's master is displeased with him, as he failed his objective.
"Forgive me, master. Our fight was interrupted by what seems to be Archer." Assassin replied with his usual comical look
"Are you taking this seriously?! I've had enough you-!" fueled by anger, the woman brought out her staff
Skull warriors emerge from the temple floor, surrounding Assassin.
"How pitiful." Assassin murmured
With just one slash, they all fell down to Assassin's katana. The woman was enraged even more and beams of light appeared behind her, and she was ready to engage on Assassin until a voice calling out to them halted the two.
"Stop."
Both Assassin and the woman's attention were caught. They looked towards a throne, and there was a man seated upon it, wearing an all black shogun armor. This man, is none other than Emperor Soichiro Kuzuki.
"Bu-" the woman trying to reason with the Emperor
"No, Caster. We must prepare ourselves for war. Both of you get ready, the enemy is fast approaching." Soichiro calmly replied to the woman who turns out to be the servant Caster
"Yes. Forgive me, Soichiro-sama." Caster replied
Before Caster left, she glanced back at Assassin. Her blue eyes were filled with anger, while Assassin was just his usual relaxed self.
"Haven't you heard the Emperor's order?" Assassin reminded Caster in a relaxed tone
"I'll deal with you some time!" Caster replied in an enraged voice before vanishing
The swordsmen of the Kuzuki empire rallied themselves below a long staircase which leads to the temple gates. Assassin positioned himself atop the staircase, as he was ordered to guard the gate. Caster was levitating above the center of the temple, providing support for the front men. Emperor Kuzuki was on the temple's tower, waiting to give the signal towards his warriors.
As soon as the enemy were visible, Emperor Kuzuki calmly said...
"Charge"
"RAAAAAGGGGHHH!" the swordsmen moved forward, dashing towards their enemy
Assassin sat up on one of the stairs and simply smiled in anticipation, waiting to see if at least one person can make it towards the staircase...
