Rating: PG-13
Warnings: Character death
Summary: Leo's fourth opponent is a Berserker.
Notes: Last chapter: complete~
The sky is white with angels.
Leo thinks that this is what fear feels like. Knowing that you are doomed and that nothing in your power can change the outcome.
He never thought that he was flawless. Gawain, too, is not perfect. Their combination, as powerful as it is, is not capable of taking down a number of enemies so great that it may as well be infinite. He is no fool.
How long has it been? How many angels has Gawain struck down, and how many times has he been unable to block an attack? Though the situation is hopeless, the Servant hasn't yet shown signs of giving up. He fights as fiercely as he ever did, though it won't make a difference from if he laid down his sword-
The air around them thins, pulls like it's being badly torn. Leo has to close his eyes and concentrate on breathing for a few moments or he won't get enough oxygen. When he opens his eyes...
Tohsaka Rin. The girl in red stands close to her Lancer Servant, utterly casual.
Rani VIII. The homunculus is protected by her fierce Berserker.
Kishinami Hakuno. The rising star has a hand on her Archer's shoulder.
Speechless, Leo can do nothing but stare at the group. Gawain too falters a bit at seeing three other Servants and Masters in the middle of the fight.
"I'm still going to kill you, you know," Rin reminds him shortly, before raising the hand with her Command Spells. "Lancer! Take down these angels!"
Lancer grins as the Command Spell glows and then disappears. "You don't need to tell me twice." With speed faster than any human could hope to achieve, he flies into the fray, striking out at anything that comes near him.
"Berserker." Rani's voice is as calm as ever as she raises her hand. "Destroy the angels and clear a path."
Berserker roars in assent, almost shaking the arena, and begins to wipe out opponents with every blow.
"Harway, do you want to survive or not?!" Rin asks, beginning to toss jewel after jewel at the angels. They explode on impact, knocking them down enough to be brought down by the Servants. "We're on limited time here! I could've just let you die and done this next round-!"
"I understand." Leo raises his own hand. Now is no time to think of the remaining rounds. His survival is on the line now. "Gawain, bring us victory."
His Command Spell disappears. Gawain nods his thanks and brings his blade once again on his enemies.
Even with all that, and Hakuno constantly healing Servants left and right, the angels are only barely thinning out. Gatou, who was just as stunned as Leo at the appearance of three other Masters, has begun to recover.
Fear is beginning to creep back in. Leo shakes himself out of it and looks towards Archer.
The gun in Archer's hands is not one that he recognizes, but the sheer power held within it is unmistakable. Archer has it aimed upwards, seemingly ignoring the angels that fly past: any that have come near him have been struck down by Lancer or Berserker before they could disturb his aim.
Hakuno watches the sky as well, and the Command Spell on her hand begins to glow.
A gap appears between the crowd of angels. Not a large one. Not one that reliably can send a bullet through to the hulking shadow above when the angels are in constant motion.
"Archer! Take down Type-Venus!"
But with a Command Spell, it may be enough.
Archer fires the gun, and the bullet travels quickly out of sight. Leo holds his breath, listening for the sound of an angel's wings being torn or a scream before yet another one dies.
What he hears instead comes from a body he'd forgotten was even there. Gatou's Berserker, the one that had appeared on the battlefield and gone still when other angels swarmed, screams out in pain, and the shadow that was looming-
"Oh don't tell me it's going to fall on us," Rin says, staring upwards.
"It's going to fall on us," Archer replies, deadpan.
The other angels are gone, leaving the rapidly descending form of Type-Venus plainly visible. Rin furiously hacks away, while Rani mumbles something rapidly, and Hakuno-
"Get on this side, the wall's coming up!"
Lancer and Berserker carry their preoccupied Masters to Leo's side of the arena (over some protest by Rin) while Archer and Hakuno run without anyone needing to be carried. The wall separating the winner from the loser slams into place, and the body of Type-Venus falls on top of it.
The wall strains visibly under the weight. Gatou's body is starting to disappear as he calls out for his god.
Leo isn't concerned with that. Rin's panicked voice is more important. "Come on, come on, the system should kick us out in three-"
The wall is being pressed down.
"-two-"
Gatou's body is almost gone.
"-one-"
Just before the system forces them out, Leo sees his Berserker wave to them, then disappear.
Being forced out of the battle is a painful process. Leo rubs his head and picks himself slowly off of the floor in the media room. Around him, various Servants and Masters are doing the same.
Rani is the first to speak. "I believe that went well."
Hakuno nods. "It only took us seven Command Spells between us to do it."
"And practically all of my jewels," Rin grouses. "Ugh, she really owes me for this..." She trails off.
After a pause, Leo bows. "I still don't understand why, but I thank you. You saved my life." Gawain also bows.
"Oh, straighten up," Rin snaps. "I'm still going to kill you. I didn't do it for you, I did it for her."
"Same," Hakuno adds.
"I also agree."
Leo straightens up. "...that doesn't make any sense. However, whatever the cause, the result is that you saved me, and I am grateful to you."
Rin scowls. "You're even more annoying like this..."
