Rabbit Faced
[] Throw her as hard as you could straight back into the entrance. Put yourself between her and the Grail. You will not allow this.
It's now or never.
You grabbed Brie by her arm and used your enhanced strength to lift her up in one motion. Before anyone could react, before anything could happen, you threw her as hard as you could straight back into the entrance where her back smashed through the doors.
You knew her enough to survive that. You got between her direction and the Grail. Ruler looked aghast beside you as she parted her lips.
"What... What is the meaning of this!?" Ruler asked in shock.
You kept your eyes on where Brie landed as you summoned Caladbolg, "Brie wants to continue with her wish. In exchange for Incarnating me she's going to let the Association burn this city."
"What?! But she didn't... She said she'd save it!" Ruler said as the two of you watched Brie use Gae Bolg to get up.
"You lied, didn't you, Brie?" You guessed as you gripped your sword upon seeing her look at you in confusion. Her eyes were filled with surprise and shock as she grunted to her feet.
"Rider... What?" Brie mewled as she held her side and steadied herself on her feet, "What the hell are you doing?"
"Stopping you from making a mistake," you coldly replied as you faced her.
"A mistake..." Brie murmured as she held on to her spear, "Is that how you see it? You waited at the last possible moment to do this and... Betray me?"
"I'm not betraying you, Brie. I'm turning you the right way. I can't let you turn into me. That's something I can't allow,"
"I was going to wish for your happiness, you idiot. We'd be finally together. We'd be free of this war! Don't you want that?!" Brie shouted as she grit her teeth, "I trusted you!"
"I don't want it. You'd be no better than I am. You'd be making an enemy out of the Magi," you replied back.
"I don't care about them! You gave me purpose! You gave me something to live for! To fight for! To kill for!" Brie screamed as she looked at you with her circuits slowly beginning to glow, "You're all that matters, you stupid bitch!"
"That's true. But condemning the Innocents not involved in the war... Leaving that sin on your shoulders, I can't let you bear it!" You snapped hotly, "Give it up!"
"I don't care about the town! I don't care if I have to kill every single Magi in the world! I'll burn this city to the ground myself if I have to!" Brie sobbed as she gripped her spear, "You're all that mattered to me. Being with you, laughing with you, fighting with you, bantering... I'd give the world just so we can be both happy. If I can keep the time with you in stasis, I don't care what I have to do."
"You should Brie. Because your ability to care is what separates you from the real monsters. If you keep going, you won't be able to live peacefully... Do you really want every waking moment of our life being one chased by Magi?" You questioned her as you narrowed your gaze, "I don't want that kind of happiness!"
"But it's what I want! It's something I decided on! It's something I will make it work. Just... Just trust me on this, okay? Look. We can still stop the Purge. Just let me get my Wish. Step aside and we can do something about this instead of fighting!" Brie said as she spread her hands, "Please... Please don't fight me."
You stared at her and grimaced. You shook your head as you said, "I don't trust your words. Not as it is right now."
"Medb," Brie breathed as she clenched her fist.
"Even if we do take out the Clocktower together they'll just send more people to finish the job. They'll keep trying and what then? Do you plan on staying here to defend the city?" You asked her as you stepped down the altar and knocked aside the pews within the church, sending them flying, "You just said it yourself, you don't care so why should I believe you now?!"
"Don't... Don't make me do this. What do the lives of others compare to you?" She asked as she held her spear, "If I make a wish, you'd be gone. I can fight again in another war but it wouldn't be you anymore. I want to make you happy, not some other girl that looks like you."
"I'm sorry, Brie. I can't let you do this to yourself," you told her as you felt your heart crumple, "I'll save you."
Brie let her circuits flare as she looked at you, "The Grail is mine, Rider."
"I won't let you have it. You want it? You'll have to go through me!" You snapped as you raised Caladbolg.
Brie held up her left hand as a Command Seal burned deep crimson, "By the power of this Command Seal, I order Servant Rider to relinquish the Grail!"
Red magic wracked your body as a familiar pain Lance through your body. Pain filled your entire being as you were compelled to follow her command. You fell down your knees as you gasped for air, you were being forced to step aside.
Brie held her shining red hand up as she grit her teeth, "Move."
Her voice echoed within your skull before you fought it. You fought it just as hard as you did when Minerva commanded you. Ruler knelt by your side and held your shoulder.
"Brie stop! You're hurting her!" Ruler said as Brie ignored her.
You held your hand and pushed her away, "This... Is fine. It'll be even now."
The lingering effects of the Command Seal wracked your body with excruciating pain. You refused her command as you let out a shaky breath. It was like having hot iron stabbing into your bones. The pain almost made you pass out but you endured. You managed worse just the previous night.
You held on as you faced her.
Brie looked at you with pain and uncertainty in her face as you held on to your sword.
"You're really doing this for me, huh?" Brie said as she smiled your way.
You gasped as you simply kept your eyes on her.
"I was doing this for you too. I will make us happy. No matter what it takes. I'm going to win the Grail," Brie declared as she looked at you.
You grit your teeth as you chuckled, "You haven't won yet. Come on."
"You're not going to stop me, Medb. I will finish this no matter how much you complain. We're going together... I won't leave you!" Brie said as she readied her spear.
"Then... Allow me to be the one to test you,!" You breathed. Your lungs felt like they were on fire, like needles were being jammed into them.
You both moved and closed in on one another before Caladbolg and Gae Bolg clashed in the air. The Demonic Spear responded for the first time within the Doll's hands and burned red with energy.
However in response, your rainbow sword surged with power, letting light dance upon its spiral form.
FINAL GRAND BATTLE
VS
THE STRAY MASTER
BRIE
You both broke apart as the force of your strike was enough to make her stagger while you fell down your knees. The pain... It was getting intense.
You and Brie got up as you both held your weapons.
"I just want you to be happy," Brie murmured as she got ready, "So give it up. Give up and grant me the Grail. After that we can just run away... Run far away where the Clocktower can't reach us. Forget about the town, forget about the people... They don't matter. None of them do."
"Stop lying! Just stop it because I know you're full of it!" You roared as you dragged your sword and the two of you clashed before she pushed you back to thrust at your shoulder.
You parried her strike before you both ground your weapons against one another.
"Don't pretend they don't matter! Don't pretend that it's fine! Because I know that deep inside of you there will be a voice crying out because of what you will do!" Told her with a shout, "That's the part of you I want to drag out! The part of you that I love!"
"You don't get it at all!" Brie roared as she knocked you aside and you both exchanged blows, "I'm doing this for us and I'll pay any price it takes! No matter the cost! I'll strike a deal with the World itself if I have to!"
It's now or never.
You grabbed Brie by her arm and used your enhanced strength to lift her up in one motion. Before anyone could react, before anything could happen, you threw her as hard as you could straight back into the entrance where her back smashed through the doors.
