Fate/Blackened Sugar

[] Assassin was going to be overwhelmed if you don't do something. Leave it to Berserker to support you from the back while you maintain Assassin's strength.

"Berserker! I'll leave things to you on this end!" You barked as you turned to Assassin rising up from the rubble.

"I'm going all out here! Try and survive, boy!" Berserker said as he dashed towards the Valkyrie.

On the other side of the battlefield, Hyde howled as he crashed down on Assassin. Assassin dodged out of the way and drew her sword while parrying Hyde's swipes.

You cast a spell which reinforced her strength while she weathered Hyde's blows. She managed to deflect his next blow and throw a kunai into his leg before jumping to stab him right in his stomach.

She pulled her blade out and turned to avoid being caught before she sliced off his tendons on his leg before jumping up to grab on to his back. She held her sword in a reverse grip before plunging it into his neck.

Flipping over, she grabbed on to her sword and yanked it down Hyde's flesh and cutting down. Leaning back, she evaded his swipe but he managed to raise his other leg and kick her away.

"Healing wind," you breathed as you directed your spell towards your Servant, blunting the pain she felt and allowed her to retain focus.

"You're... One of them. You're a Magus," the girl behind you said with wide eyes.

"Not a good time, girl!" You barked as you worked.

"I-I don't want this. This is a mistake. This is a Grail war, right? I-I want out, please!" She begged with a frightened tone.

"Little busy here!" You said as you kept your connection with Assassin on, focusing on reinforcing her body and healing her wounds.

Behind you, Berserker was able to push back the Valkyrie even as she used her runes to her advantage. You kept your concentration up as you sought to support Assassin as she evaded and struck.

She tore out the Werewolf's throat before dashing back and leaving firecrackers to blow up in front of him. The noise overloaded his senses allowing Assassin to plunge her sword into his chest and we it as a stepping point, jumping into the air.

She twisted in the air to knock back Hyde's massive arms with her kunai, only to draw two more and stab them into his chest, creating a bloody 'X' as she cut.

Hyde howled and tried crushing her but she met his swipe with her bloody kunai, making him falter. She then turned and caught his second swipe and sliced off his hand.

She then pulled her sword out just as Hyde leaned down to bite her, driving it beneath his jaw and piercing through his snout. Assassin yanked it out and slashed his knees before forcing him down.

Darting forward, she thrust her sword into his chest and drove him into the ground.

However...

"Assassin, pull back!" You snapped as you created a rune of fire.

Hyde had grabbed her by the shoulders and held her in place, giving her no chance to dodge. The rune activated and set the air above them ablaze, deterring Hyde from biting a chunk out of her shoulder.

He let Assassin go before turning towards you.

"Shit!" You cursed as Hyde dashed towards you.

The girl behind you screamed, "I-It's coming! What are you doing, protect us!"

"Damn you!" Assassin snarled as she called upon a black serpent just as Hyde reached you. It clamped down on his leg and dragged him back.

Hyde howled as Assassin dragged him back with her familiar. Behind you, Berserker was giving the Valkyrie a beat down but her defenses were ironclad. He punched and kicked, smashing Primordial Rune after primordial rune before jumping up to avoid being struck.

You held up your hand and unleashed a flock of crows towards Hyde as Assassin took out his arms.

Berserker landed just as Brynhildr found a new target. She had her body shine as she got ready.

"I... I don't.... What is this..? I never wanted this. It wasn't supposed to be me!" The girl sobbed as she held her head, her eyes filled with despair.

"Shit, this isn't the time, girl!" You barked.

Assassin chopped off Hyde's arm but she held up her sword to block his bite.

"I don't want to die! Why can't just everything stop!!!!" She screamed as tears fell down the floor, "You Magi, don't you realize that people just want to live their lives?! I never asked to be in this stupid game of yours!"

"Will you shut up for two seconds?!" You yelled back but the girl snarled back.

"This is all your fault! I wish you were dead, you Bastard!" The girl screamed at you as her right hand glowed bright.

Your eyes widened as you realized what was happening.

Assassin turned and saw what was happening but Hyde prevented her from acting. Berserker's body shined red as the Command Spell acted upon him, having him disarm the Valkyrie of her spear as he faced you.

"HANS, DODGE!" Beowulf roared as he hurtled he spear towards you.

However it was too fast. The spear flew straight for you and you only had enough time to have it slice your left side.

SLASH

The girl was splattered with your blood as you felt white hot pain erupt on your side. Assassin screamed behind you but you grit your teeth and endured. The girl before you let out a shaky breath before Beowulf turned and punched the Valkyrie in the face.

"No... This... This isn't my fault," the girl said as you were bleeding hard, "No!"

She turned and ran.

"Hans!" Assassin shouted before Beowulf roared and smashed down on Hyde and kicked him back. The Wolfman snarled at the King, allowing Assassin to run to your side.

You fell down your knees as you bled.

"Assassin, take the boy and find Miyu. Get out of here," Beowulf said as he clenched his fist.

"You can't take them on your own. Not without support. Beowulf..." You breathed as you held your side.

"I'll buy you time. Besides, these clowns aren't as strong as I am," Berserker said as he glanced at you with a red eye.

Brynhildr had called upon her Spear and grasped it from the air. She was then wrapped in blue fire as thorns began to escape her armor.

Hyde smashed the ground with his fist, howling into the moonlight as he anticipated this next clash. His wounds healed at a rapid rate while baring his teeth at the King.

The Blackened only saw him as a wall to topple.

"No... We can still..." You growled under your breath.

"You still have your mission to accomplish, don't you, boy?! Fat chance you'll die here for a mistake. Now go!" Beowulf snapped as he clenched his fists.

"Master..." Assassin breathed as she tried to stop the bleeding. You were starting to feel light headed... That was no joke... You're dying.


[] Leave. You... You need to escape. You trust Beowulf this much to watch your back.
[] Stay. He can't fight two Blackened by himself. At least he needs Assassin to support him. You can endure.
[] Search. That stupid girl that nearly killed you ran off. You need to look for her. Get Assassin to do it. She can just drop you somewhere. You can wait.
