You can't lose a motorcycle in traffic, it's pretty much completely impossible.
 
Okay, just finished reading up on the quest. Want to make some observations.

So unlike Kiara I know next to nothing in comparison about Manaka. A brief look through her Type-Moon page gives the general gist that others in the forum had already said about her lack and empathy and etc. Thing I want to focus on is this Fate/Labyrinth series.

There isn't much information about her role in it on the wiki from what I've seen, but two points of interest flash up to me.
1) Her consciousness possesses someone after her death via Arthur's hands, which seems to mark where her obsessions with him reaches a even greater breaking point.
2) Manaka's consciousness is forced out of that body due to, and I quote, "the Beast pulling her soul back to her original world". She is able to appear again later though.

Point 2 implies that Manaka may have no control over her current possession, and in fact may be replaced by that of the original girl at any moment. Even if she is though, she can still repossess the girl again.

Taking in mind Beowulf's characterization, he will almost definitely want to protect/keep safe his original master. Also too note is that Beowulf enjoys fair fights above all other kinds, so us having an Assassin and what our general "playstyle" is sadly doesn't make him the best possible ally.

Considering we've a good chance to be unable to ally with Sakura and her allies, I'm thinking Manaka, while stupidly risky, might be the best right now. She's got one of the easiest to predict servants we've seen so far in term of morals beyond Schiz. And honestly? I don't feel too comfortable leaving the girl Manaka's possessed alone without anyone else backing her up. Until we know more about her, she could be as out-of-the-loop as Fate/Stay Night Shirou was.

If anyone has any extra information about Manaka that might help with decisions or things I've gotten wrong in this post, love to hear it.

And I'll be waiting a bit to vote. Wanna see what else comes up before I do so.
 
Sorry old man, but you're going after the wrong particpants in this MURDER-DEATH-KILL

[] "Open the windows, I'm going to blow him up. I hate stubborn people."

The car drove down the road and avoided traffic as the pursuer gunned his own motorbike to stick close to you. He pulled out a gun from his hip and started shooting just as you etched a reinforcement rune on the side of the car, letting the bullets harmlessly bounce off the surface.

"Open the windows, I'm blowing him up," you hissed as you constructed a familiar from steel and iron and injecting it with magical energy. Your circuits flared as you opened the window, "I hate stubborn people."

You threw out the familiar where it suddenly grew wings and became an unstable sphere of cogs and bolts. You Hitman saw it coming before shooting it, detonating the familiar out of the air as you smirked.

Etched on a piece of that familiar was ansuz which erupted into a second more violent explosion. The Hitman maneuvered his bike and avoided the blast before shooting off to the right, avoiding your line of sight.

"Excellent fighting, sir," your Driver chuckled as he shifted gears and drifted the car to the left.

"It's not over yet," Manaka said behind you as something landed over a light pole ahead of you.

A woman dressed in sea patterned kimono appeared, her face was sharp and her eyes fixed on you. She notched an arrow on her bow, her chest wrapped in bandages as her silky black hair swayed behind her in a ponytail.

"Shit!" You cursed as the arrow was let loose.

Your Driver jerked the car to the left and avoided the arrow, only for the ground to split and explode, throwing the car into the air. You braced yourself as the car flipped over and rolled thrice before stopping.

The air bags threatened to suffocate you but you managed to push it aside.

"She's coming," Manaka observed as she held her head.

"Sir, I believe the time for escaping is now," your Driver said as he put in his cracked glasses.

You kicked open the door as the woman landed on the empty street. She wore her bow on her body before drawing the naginata strapped to her quiver.

You stumbled out before you opened the door for Manaka and let her out of the car.

"Sir, I will buy you time. Please leave," you Driver said as he drew his handgun and fired at the Servant.

The woman blocked his shots and reflected a bullet back into the elderly man's shoulder.

"Dammit! Manaka, we're going. Where's Berserker?" You asked her as she looked behind you.

You turned and immediately the Servant swung her glaive at you. You stood your ground and slammed your cane upon the floor. A wall of light caught her blow and was enough to push her back, only for the Servant to shatter it in the next strike.

You were sent flying back. You hit the ground in a roll before you looked to see the Servant approaching the girl that was with you. Manaka remained where she stood as you saw her body light up in preparation to defend herself.

The Servant simply stepped forward and raised her weapon.

"Took you long enough, Berserker," Manaka said as something fell from the sky.

Berserker managed to catch up and landed behind the Servant that could only be Archer. Berserker dragged his sword along the ground and cleaved Archer in half, taking a chunk out of her body before turning to send her flying straight into a nearby closed down store.

The man was out of breath and filled with arrows yet he still stood. He had an annoyed look on his face as the three of you looked at the fallen Servant that too a direct hit from him.

"Stay back, this woman's bad news," Berserker warned you as you watched Archer slowly rise up.

Her fatal wound closed and shifted to heal itself while a new arm grew in place of the one she lost. Her eyes flashed red as she cracked a smile and picked up her weapon, her clothes restored anew.

"You caught me by surprise. But that won't be enough," Archer said as she switched her weapon for her bow, "No... It will never be enough."

"Regeneration?" You blinked as you slowly got up.

"Berserker, did you hold back?" Manaka asked her Servant.

"No. I've killed her several times already. Crushed her head, split her body, tore her spine, ripped her apart, nothing worked and she just kept standing back up," Berserker assessed as he glared at Archer drawing an arrow, "Get ready!"

Archer fired twice and Berserker blocked them both before dashing in. The woman drew her naginata and blocked his strike as she slid back and countered.

The two servants were soon embroiled in fierce melee as you walked over to your Driver where he sat against the car. He was bleeding as you knelt down and cast a charm to dull the pain.

"You know protocol. Get to safety," you told him as you placed your hand on his shoulder.

"Good luck, Mr. Derrinsmith," he said with a polite nod.

"Hans. Our hunter is back," Manaka told you as you hit up to see Berserker push Archer through a building and out of sight.

The Hitman from before drove his bike towards you without stopping.

[] Use Aegis to block his path. That should force him to stop.
[] Take Manaka and run again. It was fine as long as you could lose him.
[] Etch some runes on the ground and let gravity be his judge. You're done with this farce.

Hopefully this makes him go splat
 
Is there a canonical Archer who's basically immortal? I can't think of any and Rabbit has made heavy use of original Servants so odds are it's someone new, but you never know.

I thought it was Tomoe at first but it didn't fit afterwards.
So that's OC Saber, OC Archer, Lancer Medusa, Maybe Odysseus, Chiyome, Schez and Beowulf with ???, ???, Sakura, Ophelia, Hans, ??? and Manaka.
Servant cast is nearly full now but 3 Masters are still unknown.
