angel helped with the editing of this chapter as well the writing. I know the start of a sentence should always begin with a capital, but angel's name doesn't have a capital in it so I started it with a lower case letter. I hope you viewers understand.

"So now we have four servants left in the war, eh?" Rin muttered. In the end they would still have to face each other, whether she liked it or not.
She was also not looking forward to the few days they had left.
"Out of curiosity, what are you going o do about each other once you two are left? Assuming you two are the only ones left standing?" Rider asked. He already knew of his fate and he knew they are capable of taking down Berserker anyway.
I'm probably going to try to graduate high school and go on helping people that need me." Shirou said.
"Seriously? And I thought I liked you,' Rin groaned. Shirou was taken aback by her words. Should he be flattered or insulted?
"I also hope to one day become close to Rin. That seems like a long shot though."
"Can we just get to the point now?" Archer snapped, making them fall silent.
Shirou blinked his eyes in surprise at Archer's comment.
"Maybe we should focus on how to get Berserker into the open first,' Rider pointed out.
"That's...actually a really good idea." Rin said. 'Why didn't I think of that?' Rin thought.
"Okay so how did you manage to lure them out last time?" Rin asked and Shirou pondered, wondering if it was a good idea to tell her they had been eating ice cream while strolling peacefully down the street before they were attacked.
"Honestly, we were eating ice cream and strolling down the street before we were attacked." Shirou said.
Bad idea since Rin was not about to go strolling down the street to lure out a servant crazy enough to level her with his hammer.
"Since you like to play the buffoon, Shirou, why don't you distract it and I'll attack from the rooftop."
"You want me to end up dead?' he demanded as Cuirassier looked like she wanted to murder the other girl. Rider face palmed himself.
"No you unbelievably dumb Servant. I'm the one going to die. I'm trying to help you guys become strong enough to defeat the thought to be unstoppable Berserker."
"Can we just cut to the chase and focus on finishing this war? Its getting old," Kiritsugu said.
Rider had the same expression he had someone else did when a person farted. He too felt this was getting old.
They didn't have to argue much further as they heard the front door coming crashing to the ground.
Kiritsugu did what any rational man would do hearing that sound and pulled out his gun.
"Yahoo! Did we crash a party or something?" a shrill voice said as Berserker stomped into the room with his Master.
"What kind of person breaks through someone else's door?!" Kiritsugu shouted.
Everyone got their weapons out and prepared for battle.
Archer was the first to attack Berserker as he dashed towards the Titan.
Berserker grinned as he raised his hammer and smashed it into Archer, sending him through several walls until he hit home at the storage room.
"Archer!" Rin cried both angry and baffled at how easily he was knocked through a wall.
Kiritsugu on the other hand was gaping at the damaged caused to his house and he wasn't pleased with it at all.
"Shirou, use that servant of yours and teach this beast why it isn't a good idea to trash other people's houses."
Not caring about how the house had been trashed, Shirou called out to his servant who gladly shot and attacked Thor.
Thor was more impressed with the pain Cuirassier inflicted.
"I never liked hurting women but you're an exception!" he roared as he swung his hammer into her stomach.
She felt excruciating pain crushing her torso from the blow.
"Cuirasser!" Shirou yelled as he formed swords in his hands, charging at the servant who batted him aside. The house was getting more damaged by the minute and Kiritsugu looked like he was ready to tear chunks of his hair form his head.
Shirou managed to block a swift smack from Berserker's hand and good for him because his body wasn't as durable as Cuirasser's.
"Trace on!" he yelled as he tried to mimic the legendary hammer or Thor's, swinging it in an arc to come face to face with the real hammer.
Shirou knew after the attacks collided the only way to win was using everyone's help.
"Tohsaka!' he yelled as Rin lifted her fingers, aiming at the servant as she screamed, "Archer!"
Archer jumped back in the fray with two sharp swords ready to cleave through Berserker.
Cuirassier raised her halberd high as she swung at Thor while Rider got ready to slam his sword as well.
Thor smirked before he attacked in a way that knocked the two of them back.
"Try harder next time."
"Can you at least take the fight outdoors?!" Kiritsugu yelled as he fired shots at him.
"Shut up, old man!" Thor's master yelled at Kiritsugu.
"Didn't your parents teach you to respect your elders?" Kiritsugu sighed as he breathed deeply, concentrating on a spell that saved his life many years ago in his battle with Kotomine Kirei.
Thor swung his weapon around smashing through the concrete of the house while Kiritsugu concentrated on his spell.
He felt time and space go still as he moved towards the servant, his guns pointed at him as the Servant moved sluggishly at him.
This was Kiritsugu's spell. From the results, it worked perfectly against Thor. He didn't seem so mighty now.
However once it wore out, it didn't stop the servant from grabbing the older man at the waist and swing him into a wall. Several walls to be exact.
"You call that a spell?" Thor's Master mocked Kiritsugu. "I call that a weak attempt at hurting Thor."
"That's where you're wrong," Kiritsugu smirked as Archer swung a large hammer into Thor's head. As the servant yelled, Rider rushed at him, swinging his sword to cut into his arm while Cuirassier aimed for his belly.
"This is impossible!" The Master yelled after seeing the pain on Thor's face.
"Nothing's impossible!" Rin shouted as she slammed a barrage of lasers at Thor while Shirou notched his arrow and let it fly. "Eat this!" he yelled as the arrow soared through the room.
Thor was impaled by the arrows and his torso was punctured with holes from the blasts of the lasers.
His master screamed as he was pummelled over and over again by the weapons. Her eyes went wide the blood became too much to bear. She lifted her hand, her Command Spells shining as she shouted, "Thor, use Berserker mode!" With that, his eyes shone red as he roared, rampaging into the like a mad elephant. "You know the vikings were famous for their Berserkers right?' she grinned as the Servant went wild.
Cuirassier and Archer felt a blow that tossed them on opposite sides of the room like a rampaging tornado hit them.
This is a new level of ridiculous!" Rider yelled as he got slammed into Shirou's bedroom. Surprisingly, the only area still intact was the kitchen.
Kiritsugu was scratching his hair like a cat from all the damage to his house that was going on. He blamed the Master but knew she didn't have the money to pay for it. What worried him more was Shirou's safety.
"Can we just end this for goodness sake?!" Rin shouted as she dashed at the Master, spells at ready as she increased her speed, her gems in hand ready to attack the master.
The Master did not anticipate the move Rin would make on her.
Thor couldn't save her from the speed of Rin.
Shirou eyes widened as the girl he had a crush on slammed a fist into the other girl, who coughed blood as the fist went through her. Thor's master gave a cry as she stared at her opponent before collapsing.
Shirou rushed over to the master trying to help her stand. Despite how she sauntered in and tried to take their lives...he wasn't letting her die on the ground coughing blood.
"Tohsaka... why did you do this?" he whispered as Rin swept back her bloodied hand. She looked grim as she watched their opponent bleed out. "This a war Shirou and people die in them," she said although she felt sick about what she had just done. Shirou must think of her as a monster now.
Shirou pat her on the back before stroking that long nest of beautiful brown hair.
She totally didn't expect him to do that as she burst into tears, sobbing as she tried not to touch him with her soiled hands. Shirou on the other hand felt his anger diminish as he held her.
Cuirassier and Archer saw Thor dying as his Master was close to deaths door.
"What a way for us to die eh?" she muttered as Thor brought himself close to her. The Servant didn't look imposing now and when Shirou looked at him, he thought of the defeated warrior he looked like now. "I don't deserve to be called the God of Thunder if I can't even survive this war," he said as he gently took his Master by the hand, squeezing it gently.
"It's not your fault. You were an amazing Servant. If only I didn't underestimate that red shirt b*** and her gems.
"I underestimate these mortals as well. But I am glad to remain by your side until the end," he said as he grunted, slowly vanishing from the face of the earth. "Now I shall return to Valhalla and celebrate among the heroes of old," he said as she giggled. "Thanks for giving me one hell of an adventure and party! Tell me if they have one hell of a party," she said as she coughed, blood splattering her clothes.
He was gone from her life. She was dead on the floor of Kiritsugu's floor. Now Rin and Shirou were the weeping ones.
"Damn why did you have to kill the girl?" Archer muttered as Thor got himself on one knee. "May you rest in the halls of Valhalla for all eternity," he said as he looked at the victors. "I wish you luck in the remainder of the war," he said, bowing his head as he shattered into light.
Cuirassier bowed on one knee bowing to the ashes of Thor.
"Now that the battle is over, what are we going to do about this mess?" Rider asked. Everyone wasn't in a mood to figure out how to repair the house since a dead girl lay at their feet. "I'll do it," Rin said as she held out a hand, a gem in it as she muttered under her breath. "I pray that this girl would find her way amongst the stars. Ashes to ashes. Dust to dust. Return to your normal form whence you came," she said as the girl was engulfed in fire. Shirou stared as the flames licked at the body before it shattered into a thousands shards of light that rose into the sky.
"Young lady, that was the most majestic way I've ever seen someone dispose of a body and lay a spirit to rest." Kiritsugu said.
Shirou put a hand on Rin's shoulder, steadying her as she sobbed. "I shouldn't have killed her," she whispered as she buried her face into his shoulder. Archer watched as she sobbed into Shirou, the other boy trying to comfort her for what was about to happen next.
Cuirassier rested a hand on Shirou's shoulder. She knew seeing a person get killed was not going to be easy for him as well.
"We have to decided the outcome of the war after this. There are just the two of you left. What will you do now, Master?' she asked as he looked at her.
Shirou and Rin looked at each other with their sobbing eyes. Archer expected his master to conjure a gem to slit Shirou with.
"Give us 24 hours to decide," Rin muttered as she broke off from Shirou to walk to what was left of the door. "Archer, you come with me," she said as the man inclined to go to her. "From this moment on, Emiya Shirou, I am an enemy who is out to get the Grail. Be prepared," she said as she turned around, closing the door behind her to head home. Shirou stood there, wondering what on earth was he supposed to do now that the next 24 hours could be his last.
