Crimson Beauty of The Crescent Moon (Fate/Grand Order)


Himiko doesn't really care about humanity and while her peace of mind isn't really wrong, it doesn't quite fit. She's spent centuries looking for a place where she can live in peace, where she can have the person she cared for by her side. And Chaldea can be that, somewhere where she can stop running and live.

I'm not saying that she thinks that about Chaldea as it is now, but the possibility exists and she's chasing it. Hell, in canon reuniting with Xiang Yu was her reason for joining.

Minor nitpick. Hinako is an elemental.
As indicated by her second skill, however, she is also a Chinese immortal, Xian, aka celestial being.
Ferian got the right of it. To be exact, the second skill is "仙界羽人" which translates to "Feathered Man of The Xian's Realm".
@Vocalend, I don't think the options two and three answer the question "what is Hinako looking for". Did you use the wrong wording by mistake?
Hrm, perhaps I did. The gist, however, is something that I hoped to be known from the entire paragraph. That Hinako is trying to pinpoint the goal that she's after for herself, after the prodding from Mashu.

I will close the vote in a few hours after I work on my IRL routines, then we can jump into the next update, which is in the process of being written.
 
Right. Vote is closed. 'Peace of mind' won the vote. Update will be up in around two days, due to the many things that needs writing.
 
Update is delayed for an undeterminable amount of time. A combination of writers block and inability to sync my time with the beta are hindering the progression of the update but hopefully will be resolved before Tuesday.

Also as a forewarning, the update will most likely end the sub-chapter and contain a series of votes to decide the plan for the Singularity completion, as pretty much all the cards are proverbially on the table.

Also also as a teaser and to probably pre-emptively help the planning, have the following snippet.
Ritsuka Fujimaru fell to her knees as near searing heat pulsed through her veins. Her Magical Circuits, weak and underdeveloped, simply couldn't cope with the strain of summoning her first Servant. Why, of all people, was she chosen to save the world again?

She looked up, forcing herself to stand and gazing face to face with her Servant.

Well... for starters, her Servant is easy on the eyes. A rather youthful one, with fair and gentle eyes that calmly looked upon her. The most striking feature would be his red mop of hair. Not unlike the Director's own, in fact, if much more vibrant and deep in its redness.

But that isn't all, of course. Physical attractiveness aside, two things caught her eyes. Specifically, the items in his possession. A shepherd's crook held lightly on his right hand... and the sling strapped to his belt.

David Alter? Regular David has green hair.
 
Posting in Vocalend's stead: due to recent events that pertain to personal grief, this quest will be put on hiatus for an undetermined amount of time.
 
QM here. And uh, I want to let you all know that the update (or updates - the pacing made it so that in the end, I need to make this a two-parter) is/are underway. They will take a substantial while to drop though, on account of my growing busy-ness and Zero being rather busy for Chinese New Years. I am tentatively back and posting, hopefully.
 
Chapter 1: The Preparation (Part 4)
[X] For her peace of mind.


A Caster's main arsenal is their Territory. Being Mages or variations thereof, they require a place, a Workshop, or a given foci point to be able to restock and rearm. Of course, that's not all. Being their sanctums and place where their biggest secrets are kept, such Workshops are often filled with assorted advantages to help the normally physically-challenged Servant Class even the playing field.

For Medea of Colchis, one of the greatest of Magus of the Age of Gods, this meant that the Fuyuki Church turned to a proverbial fortress laden with utilities.

One of which is the capability to observe everything that happens inside or around the Church with clarity. A utility that proved useful as she watches, with considerable attention, towards the verbal confrontation between her Master and the Shielder.

"For my peace of mind." Her Master said simply. "I wish to simply be left alone and tend to my matters in peace. That is why I joined Chaldea in the first place."

"You... That's all you wish for?" The Shielder's hands tensed, as if struggling between tightening into fists or not. "Joining an organization dedicated to protecting human history, being picked to be a member of the A-Team... And yet all you wanted is to be a hermit?"

The non-human looks at the Demi-Servant in the eyes. "Yes. I am being truthful. It is my only desire. If it meant that saving the world is a means to that end, then I will do so."

Medea could only look raptly at the countenances of the two, seeing their reactions and examining them raptly.

A Demi-Servant who could not comprehend the desire of an Elemental, who herself could not comprehend the disbelief of the homunculi despite answering the query truthfully.

How...odd, her new Master is. Direct, to the point, and with no desire to obfuscate. She reminder the Caster of... of...

No, let's not dwell on that. The times of mourning passed already. The time for revenge, however...

"I... I don't understand. I can't understand why you'd go this far for that." Kyrielight's frown faltered a bit. "...But, I guess, it's not my place to tell you what to do. Miss Hinako, I hope you can be with us until the end of this."

"And that is what matters." The Elemental said. "Is this all, then?"

With the conversation ending, Medea stopped her scrying efforts and faced her patient. As per the orders of her Master, she was to heal her arm first before operating. And immediately, it is easy to see what is wrong with the unconscious woman in front of her.

By simple diagnostics, Olga Marie Animusphere does not have an Origin.

Well, that's not right. By simple diagnostics, Olga Marie Animusphere doesn't seem to have an Origin. It's truly a complicated matter in front of her. According to any sort of information she learned in terms of the workings of the soul, one cannot survive without an Origin. But by all accounts, her patient is fine.

By not so simple diagnostics, one that exerts a not-so-insignificant amount of her magical prowess, she still does not seem to have an Origin... but she should be having one.

So either her patient, for some reason or another, manages to break all the important parts of the established knowledge on how souls work or something - or someone - obfuscated the capability for others to note what her Origin is and frankly, Medea isn't sure which possibility is worse.

For now though, it's a mystery that the Colchisian has to set aside, because as curious and mind-boggling as it was, it is ultimately irrelevant.

....In the same way that someone having their legs cut off is 'ultimately irrelevant' to their current cardiac arrest. Both are serious ails, but the latter is more important to deal with.

On that matter, she does not know whether to thank or curse her new Master. Thank her, for the fact that patient is unconscious, which meant that she can operate easier; and due to the fact the cognizance of the Director to her predicament meant that it is easier for Medea to do more...thorough surgery. Curse her, for the fact that it puts a timer to the surgery. The degradation of her soul, detached from her body that has been long gone according to her Master, is accelerating at an exponential rate. Aside from that, it makes her soul all the more vulnerable towards spiritual weaponries.

Reckless, but as luck would have it, the patient has her as the surgeon.

Her professional pride will see to it that the girl is cured of her current state... if not improved further.


"Silver and Gold as the Foundation."

Busy would be a gross understatement for the current state of one Romani Archaman. Being in command of Chaldea after such a crisis was not what he had in mind.

"Kaleidoscope as the Essence..."

...Well, as they say, no plan survives first contact, though this is less of a contact and more a direct, catastrophic collision. Ten years of preparation, and... Oh! On the bright side, not all the Masters are disabled! That's something at least, right?

...Could he have done better to prepare, he wondered.

"Hear my declaration." Ritsuka Fujimaru continued her chant, quickly drilled into her by the combined effort of himself and Medea. For a fledgling Master and newcomer to mysteries in general, she is quite a quick learner. Being able to focus on learn the chant in such a short time speaks volumes of how composed she is, even after having just experienced the End of the World. That, or young Ritsuka still hasn't processed her current situation yet. He'll have to prepare to counsel for her.

Mashu, too, and possibly the Director... if sh- no, when wakes up.

"Let ye Spirits of the Bow come forth." As expected of a Caster from ages old, Medea has done an excellent job in modifying the summoning ritual to restrict the Servant summoned to that of Archer Class. Were that not the case, Ritsuka could've ended up with a Servant with high magical energy demand — Berserkers, in a worst case scenario. Romani made a note to himself to free up some time to brush up on magecraft knowledge. He can't afford to forget something that might come in use later on.

But for the meantime, preparing for data analysis on the summoned Archer takes precedence. While Independent Action means Archers are a lot less mana-intensive, it also means they're less inclined to follow their Master's every order. If Ristuka happens to summon a particularly troublesome Archer, a thorough understanding of their history can go a long way in accommodating-

"Come forth, above the aegis, ye Spirits Ancient!" The summoning circle flared into light as the rookie Master's chant finished. A blue hue permeates the lines of the circle as magic pours into it. The foundation of the Church itself seems to shake as the connection to the Throne of Heroes clears and the Third Magic made itself known.

A more blinding flash of light followed suit, one of pure white that, for a single moment, wiped out the connection between Chaldea and the Singularity.

When it fades, Romani Archaman could not stop his mouth from gaping.

...So much for needing a background research.


Ritsuka Fujimaru fell to her knees as near searing heat pulsed through her veins. Her Magical Circuits, weak and underdeveloped, simply couldn't cope with the strain of summoning her first Servant. Why, of all people, was she chosen to save the world again?

She looked up, forcing herself to stand and gazing face to face with her Servant.

Well... for starters, her Servant is easy on the eyes. A rather youthful one, with fair and gentle eyes that calmly looked upon her. The most striking feature would be his red mop of hair. Not unlike the Director's own, in fact, if much more vibrant and deep in its redness.

But that isn't all, of course. Physical attractiveness aside, two things caught her eyes. Specifically, the items in his possession. A shepherd's crook held lightly on his right hand... and the sling strapped on his belt.

"I ask of you," The Servant's voice light yet carried itself in a firm tone. "Are you my Master?"

"Yes. I am." The Master brought her hand to her chest, the back of her hand flaring with the red Command Seals.

"Excellent. So..." The Archer looked around. "...I take it that I need no introductions?"

"Erm..." Ritsuka looked back at the projection of the doctor, who seems to be in a state of gaping at the sight of her new Servant. For his part, Archer waved at him which, for some reason, brought twitches to the doctor's countenance. No help from the doctor, she's guessing. "Well, for the sake of it, welcome?"

Archer nodded, a warm smile gracing his face. "Thank you for the hospitality then, Master. So, where are the other Servants?"

Oh, right. Of course he'd notice. "Uh, Miss M- I mean, Caster is busy. And Mashu is," Ritsuka looked around, not finding the Shielder anywhere in her vision. "Uh..."

"Mashu is outside, trying to meditate by herself, she said." Hinako intoned simply — how did she snuck up on them like that — as she walked out of the nearby alcove. She stopped in her tracks as she looked at the Archer. "...A pleasure to meet you, King David."

"A pleasure to meet a beauty such as yourself." The Israelite King nodded sagely. "Truly, to have a lovely Master and companion alongside her..."

"King David, you really are as promiscuous as in the legends, huh?" Said the doctor in a sudden, yet almost cheerful tune.

"Aha, well..." He peered on to the holographic visage of the Doctor. "....And you are?"

"Romani Archaman." He said, Ritsuka looked somewhat confused. Did the Doctor seem unsure all the sudden? "Acting Director for Chaldea. ...Pleasure to meet you, King David."

The auburn-King nodded. "Likewise. So... if my summon is correct, the world is ending, huh?"

"That... would be half of it, yes."

"Doctor, the circle is still functional, right?" Hinako said, barging into the conversation once more.

"Well, it is unpowered, but it can still be use-" Romani looked at the second Master, slight alarm on his face apparent. "Wait, ar-are you?"

"We have evened the number, now let's tip the balance." Said the girl simply.

Ritsuka looked at Hinako. "But, don't you already have Medea as a Servant, Miss Hinako?"

"What Ritsuka said, even if you're to summon an Archer, the combined mana drain from supplying two Servants would put a serious strain on you even if you're some kind of prodigious magus."

"Hoo?" The shepherd gave the black-haired master a gaze. "Not just a beauty, huh? And were my ears failing me, or did I hear Medea, the famed Colchisian Mage, is here?"

Hinako nodded in affirmation, not paying any attention to the two humans' babbling. "Yes, she was originally in this Singularity before you arrived. Will there be a problem?"

"Not at all, actually." Archer said matter-of-factly. "Pettiness of religious strife is not something to worry about when the world is literally ending."

"Great. Now if you would excuse me, there's no time to lose." Ritsuka senses the circle that she used prior lighting up, magical energy coursing through the entire array. With a deep breath, the second Master recited the chant.

"Silver and Gold as the foundation.
Kaleidoscope as the essence, the wellspring of possibilities be the cornerstones that stretch infinitely.
In the defense of the world, I beseech of you, Spirits of Heroes.
Let your differences separate you not.
Let your similarities bind you all on the table with which you are called upon.
Hear my declaration. For I am the protector of the World and the World is your commander until the very end.
Let it be so, that you are bound to me as you are to the World.
Let ye Spirits of the Bow come forth.
Let ye whose body and soul wanders unimpeded come forth.
Let your free spirits aid the World once more.
Under the powers of the Third, I beseech ye once again!
Come forth, above the aegis, ye Spirits Ancient
!"
From afar, Ritsuka notes just how blinding the flash of light is. Maybe the second time made it so that the sense of wonderment went off.

But one thing for sure, as her vision returns, is that Miss Hinako had snagged herself an... interesting Servant. Old western clothing fitted his rather short frame. A scoundrel look fitted his face, a natural expression to him. And more importantly, the singular detail that is noted quicker than others.

The revolver, holstered tight to his belt.

"Howdy partner. Are you my Master?"

Right, writer's block is...still pervasive and the muse is flitting left and right unendingly. Managed to push through though at the expense of the quality. Credit goes to @Dead Pann for nailing the blind scattershot guess on the summoned Servant. Please don't use your Clairvoyance skill again :V

Next update should be easier to come... and actually having votes, please wait warmly for that.
 
David has red hair here, huh? I guess it's more Biblically accurate, although now there's much less reason not to notice Romani's similarities with him...
 
Chapter 1: The Preparation (Part 5)
The Chaldea team, Masters and Servants alike, reconvened in the same area in the church as before.

Olga Marie Animusphere, still lying unconscious on a church pew. Her countenance much less troubled than it had been many dozens of minutes ago, with Ancient Grecian sigils dancing around her in a protective aura-trance.

Medea of Colchis, the applier of said aura stood still impassive, all four of her limbs in working orders. Her Warriors flank her still, even now, though their guards are much more relaxed than they were before.

Mashu Kyrielight, her expression set firm. No doubt the slight reprieve the Shielder had on her lonesome having their effect.

Ritsuka Fujimaru, uncertainty still lingering on her face after all this time. Beside her, the holographic display of the Acting Director, Romani Archaman looked furtively around.

And of course, herself, Hinako Akuta. Or at least, what she chooses to call herself to others.

...Well, those are the original occupants of the room. Aside from those, two more additions made themselves known.

The glances Director threw around intensified into a focused stare on the particular Archer the younger Master summoned, who hummed an ancient tune as he plucked on the strings of his harp. At the same time, his Master's uneasy look visibly lessened through the humming. A welcomed effect from such a soothing melody.

Meanwhile, the giddy look of anticipation made itself known on her own Servant. One particular loud-mouthed, irascible, yet regardless valuable Archer currently sitting beside Hinako.

While wholly not what she expected, Billy the Kid is far from a bad Archer for her current situation. Compatibility wise, he may not be the best...but from a secrecy standpoint, it helps masks Hinako's abnormality a bit more. Modern Era Servants are less taxing to support than those from an older Era. Plus, the sheer agility with which the Archer might conduct himself would prove invaluable...

...might. Hinako reminded herself.

"Now," Romani Archaman said as he starts to speak, drawing the attention of everyone in the room. "We will begin to plan for the assault on....I can't believe I am saying this," He looked at Medea for a moment before continuing. "...On King Arthur."

"Well, that is a challenge, isn't it, Master?" The Israelite King said off-handedly. "Though King Arthur is just, what's the term again, 'end boss', was it?"

Basic Servant Dossier on King David unlocked!



Medea nodded. "Yes, the most pressing of foes would be....my distant uncle." Her expression turned grave. "A form of my uncle that is rather maddened, that is." Nothing more needs to be said. The fact that the greatest of the Greek Heroes is one of their foes, even discounting the fact that they are fighting against the rightful monarch of Camelot weighs heavy on everyone's mind.

At least, for a moment until the melody of the harp continued. "Quite." And just like so, the tension dissipates. "But really, quantity wise, we have four Servants to their three. An advantage in number-"

"-Ain't gonna matter when we're going up against two of the most famous legends in the world, Mister." The gunslinger chimed in. "Well, there's also that one Archer, but who knows what kind of bullshit he has. Still, Herakles... Wouldn't want to dance with him, that's for sure."

Basic Servant Dossier on Billy The Kid unlocked!



At that, Hinako inserted her thoughts. "We don't have to, do we?"

Medea nodded. "That is true...but judging by the look on the King David's face, he might have an idea."

"Huh, you noticed?" The red-haired Archer said in an off-handed fashion, his posture anything but serious despite the topic on hand.

"Hard not to. I imagine you are intending something along the lines of forcing a Resonance, correct?"

"Re..sonance?" The human Master questioned.

Hinako looked at her Caster in slight askance. "That's not a term I have heard of."

"Of course you wouldn't have. I just coined that term."

A brief bout of silence ensued, before the Caster sighed. "Well, consider this. Us Servants are empowered by human records and beliefs, and thus, we follow our legends and history. Concurrently, our circumstances are those which follows our greatest moments of triumphs and our worst failures."

Hinako notices the gears in the Doctor's head turning. "Wait, so you...." He trailed his words as he faces the Archer beside him, who nodded simply.

"A lone shepherd, fighting against a giant of a man that towers all others." The King said simply before he looks at the Caster. "Yes. Would it work?"

"Well... yours is a Resonance most powerful. Perhaps the first thing on everyone's mind when they thought of the 'underdog wins' stories."

Billy chimed in. "Yeah, but can that cut it against, y'know, Herakles? Mr. I Beat The Impossible?"

Before Hinako could rebuke her runaway Servant, David shrugged. "Who knows? Maybe he could. Maybe I would win. But we won't know until we try it."

"This feels like we're getting ahead of ourselves." The soft but firm voice of the Shielder made itself known. "Surely there are other options we can consider before committing to one?" She glances at Hinako, in an expression of mixed askance.

Obligingly, Hinako nodded. "Several ways. We could appoint the King in charge of the group."

"Eh? Me?"

"You were said to won all engagements in the fields of battle, so long as you were at the helm. Your leadership and judgement are not to be denied, no?"

"True, but that is another option. I could also opt to try and snipe the opposing Archer."

"You can do that?" Ritsuka asked expectantly.

"Well, I don't mean to brag but my Noble Phantasm will always," He stresses that part. "Hit the target and will incapacitate the target for a good while."

"Hang on, Mister David, what if I take a crack at him instead? He seemed like the sharpshooter type and not the gunslingin' type." He looked at Hinako, "What about it, Master?"

"That is an option as well." Thunderer is a Noble Phantasm that fell into 'technique' more so than 'weapon'. Silencing the veritable weaponries of the Nameless Archer would prove beneficial.

The Doctor nodded. "Well, all the plans are well and fine but... aren't we neglecting the 'End Boss' a bit much with this?"

Medea closed her eyes, displaying an unsure expression. "The Sword of Promised Victory is powerful, and I believe the corruption did naught but provide Saber with a mana supply far beyond what's reasonable. If anything were to stand up against it, Shielder may be the only one with any chance."

Preliminary Servant Dossier on Mashu Kyrielight


"....Reckless." Hinako said simply, quickly going through what data there was on Mashu's Demi-Servant state. Reaching the part on her shield, the senior Master stopped. "Doctor, couldn't you get something better than this?"

He sighed, "The problem is that for whatever reason, the Noble Phantasm refuses to let itself known. All that can be gleaned is that it is tied to the shield."

"Haaahh... So like it or not, the missy has to go in the front, huh?"

"And not just that," David spoke up. "Her Master needs to go alongside her. I do consider myself a pretty good escort... but that leaves no one to keep track of Berserker. Kid, can you stall for time?"

At that, the gunslinger grimaced a bit. "Oy oy, don't say it like that. One hit from him and I am done."

"You're quicker than him, no?"

"Yeah but..." He trailed off unsurely, looking at Hinako once more.

"We'll put that under consideration." She remarked simply. She understood at least a bit of her Servant's reservations. He's looking for a fight, not a survival game of tag. "Not the first option in mind, that said." The Celestial paused. "Can you shoot arrows out from the sky?"

Billy blinked, before his brows furrowed. "Can do... I think. Big ones, I can blast off using Thunderer. Smaller ones, I got the accuracy. That said though, what's Caster going to do?"

Everyone's attention shifted to Medea, who nodded. "It hinges on what role you expect me to fill. I could hang back here and provide long-ranged cover. I could also take to the field, taking a role of a more conventional Caster or summoning more of the Warriors."

"Aren't they like, chumps?" The gunslinger said offhandedly.

"Not so." Ritsuka shook her head. "Medea managed to make ones that can made Herakles float off into the distance."

"Unfortunately," Medea started, "Due to the focus on healing the Director, I cannot make such specialized Warriors. But I can assure you, that they take the barest minimum of effort for Servants to deal with them."

Billy stared at the Caster. "So... chumps?"

"Anyway," The Director interrupted, "What of the Director?"

"She'll be fine....relatively." Medea gave the Doctor a meaningful look. Hinako only knew that her Servant had handed a confidential cache of files pertaining to the Animusphere's medical conditions to Romani before the meeting started.

That, and the fact that his face paled considerably after receiving the data.

"So you did all you could, huh?"

The Caster nodded. "I have taken the liberty to provide her with a protective casket, as a bonus. It will be enough to shield her from at least three direct hits from Berserker." Sure enough, such a casket is seen behind the Director's lying form. Grecian sigils lit up all around it in a comforting hue. "It can also float and follow about, so there is no need to babysit it closely."

Privately, Medea opened a telephatic connection to Hinako, 'Keeping me close would help a lot to mask your unnatural strength, Master. Take that into consideration, if you will.'

The Celestial gave her a nod, as if replying to her spoken words only. "Then, are those the only things we need to prepare for....

"On that note," The Shielder started. "What about you, Miss Hinako? Where will you be?"

"Alongside Ritsuka and you. It's only natural, no?"

The younger Master seemed to object to that. "You can do more than that, Miss Hinako. Mashu and I can handle ourselves."

"...Probably." She added in a low voice. "But you've been leading us through the place up until now, so..."

"Heee, Master, what are you hiding from us?" Billy pondered. "Are you actually a master strategist or somethin'?"

"A good fighter, at the very least." The Doctor added. "The records that Ritsuka gave to me about your combat capabilities were... enlightening."

"The answer's still 'no', Doctor." Hinako said flatly. Internally, she is wondering how quickly the rest are catching on to her status, she'll probably be fine... for now. A confrontation is not to her benefit right about now.

"A-Ah, is that so?" The Doctor chuckled nervously. "Well, still, what sort of role will you be in? And for the matter, your advice on for the overall plan"

The rest of the group looks at the Hinako expectantly. She knew that her decisions here will be taken as the solid battle plan. Sure, there's King David, whose voice will be heeded but as far as everyone is concerned, her voice matters the most.

"Right. Let's review again what decisions we need to make." She said simply, relenting to the attention put forth to her direction.


Servant Dossiers can be found in the Front Page.

What will Hinako do?

[] [HINAKO] The Scouting Master. Being the most combat capable of the two would allow her to expand the range of search that Chaldea could commit to. Scrutiny from Romani would be inevitable though, as he's the most troublesome of people that could possibly know her secrets.
[] [HINAKO] Elemental's Command. This gives her the best capability to shift the plans, should something go awry. Who knows, she might still remember the nuggets of war knowledge that her beloved. Incompatible with "King's Command" vote.

What will David do?

[] [DAVID] King's Command. The Israelite King known for winning countless battles. His counsel in the art of war is simply unmatched amongst the assembled. The panoply of assembled Servants will be under his command, with all that entails. Incompatible with "Elemental's Command" vote.
[] [DAVID] The Lone Shephard. Risky, to be sure. But Resonance of this level, against a foe like Herakles, either works or not. Incompatible with "A Game of Dodge-And-Seek" vote.
[] [DAVID] The Sniping Sling. It would be risky in a different sense, being unguarded and unable to retaliate against the attack of an Archer with a far superior range. But once activated, the power of Hamesh Avanim would almost certainly knockdown the unknown Archer with ease.

What will Billy do?
[] [BILLY] Duel at the Burning City. One on one, a gunslinger against an Archer. Whether it works or not, the bows of the latter would be silenced, for a good long while.
[] [BILLY] A Game of Dodge-And-Seek. Billy would not like it a single bit. But he can, if need be, run interference. Chances are though, he'll not make it through. But he's far craftier and resourceful than such an addled Berserker, even if said Berserker is the Hero of Greece.
[] [BILLY] The Countering Thunder. A battery of a constantly replenished Noble Phantasm, one more skill than a 'true' Noble Phantasm will simply make quick work of any rabble coming the group's way. That, and the simple fact that he can shoot out the opposing Archer's shots are more than welcome.

What will Medea do?
[] [MEDEA] The Supremacy of Grecian Magecraft. The simple fact is that the greatest resource offered to Chaldea is Medea and her Temple. This is the place of her power, and even as occupied of her time was on healing the still-unconscious Director, she can exert a great deal of power for the upcoming fight. At the cost of having the Mage thoroughly unprotected by others, that is.
[] [MEDEA] The Spell-Slinging Mage. Up close and with the sacrifice of the power provided by her Temple, Medea would be able to react better to the ever chaotic nature of a battlefield. Under the close protection of at least one shield-bearing Servant and with her expertise, she would be capable of much, simply put.

[X] [BILLY] Duel at the Burning City. One on one, a gunslinger against an Archer. Whether it works or not, the bows of the latter would be silenced, for a good long while.
[X] [MEDEA] The Spell-Slinging Mage. Up close and with the sacrifice of the power provided by her Temple, Medea would be able to react better to the ever chaotic nature of a battlefield. Under the close protection of at least one shield-bearing Servant and with her expertise, she would be capable of much, simply put.
