Unidentified Axe-Sword
A sword of rock that Berserker uses.
It is part of the foundations of a temple Einzbern prepared and this itself was the catalyst used to summon Berserker.
Hercules was skilled in archery, but since he has gone berserk, he has lost his former weapons and skills.
Fate Chapter 8: This is a Romantic Comedy
We had just left off at the end of a very, very long day!
February 4th
Shirou awakens in the shed! Much like day one, but with less Sakura Watching You Sleep.
He's woken up at the ungodly late hour of like almost 6AM, so better get to work. Let's go check on Saber!
Saber's either still asleep or not around. No sign of her.
Oh, well to breakfast!
Rin is astoundingly bad at mornings. She drifts through the scene like a ghost before stumbling off to wake up properly.
Oh, good! Sakura and/or Taiga are here, as usual.
Wait.
For some reason this problem didn't occur to Shirou until RIGHT NOW! He has no sane explanation for why two hot chicks moved in with him all of the sudden.
CAN WE SOLVE?
No.
There is no solve here.
There is only suffering.
MAYBE RIN CAN SAVE ME
OH FUCK YOU TOO
Eventually Sakura refuses to be muscled out of the house, and goes to doggedly and independently go to the kitchen.
Turns out she has a good reason for it, actually! As long as Sakura is here, she's in danger of being EATEN BY BEES or something due to Holy Grail War shenanigans.
Anyway, let's take things into our own hands before this gets even worse.
Fortunately, Saber is a robot, so this part goes much more smoothly.
Back to breakfast!
Breakfast antics ensue. Things seem pretty quiet...
...wait.
OH GOD WHEN DID YOU GET HERE.
Let's try uh.
Calmly explaining the situation.
FUCK NO THAT'S NOT GOING TO WORK
The battle between Shirou and Taiga goes on for many days, shaking the very foundations of the Earth itself.
Fortunately, Rin has a plan!
This... somehow doesn't end in Shirou's execution!
As you can imagine, this goes on for some time. Eventually Rin talks Taiga into it, and the problem is resolved.
Okay, well, it's resolved until I figure out how to break Saber into the family.
Anyway, it's time to brave the deadly world of SKOOL for the first time since I got dragged into all this. Rin, Sakura, let's go!
The expected antics occur on the way to school. Everyone's staring at Rin because she's not being a frigid isolationist ice queen.
Okay, arriving at school now. That means that it's...
DOUCHEBAG O'CLOCK
Stop hitting your sister, fuckwad.
Sakura cautiously tries standing up to Shinji a little!
What a bitch!
Fortunately, we have come today with a secret weapon.
Gotta love that deer-in-the-headlights look.
Anyway, Shinji is half-terrified of Rin, so this shortly ends in Shinji absconding before Rin's superior wit and badassery.
SCHOOL TIME
Wait, you're still in this game?
Issei cries and tries to rescue me from the evil womanfolk.
Well.
That sounds important!
Then again, I DID kind of ruin Sakura's morning today.
Eh, Sakura's feelings will still be there tomorrow.
>Go and meet Tohsaka as arranged.
Establish a set meeting time before making accusations, Rin!
Time for STRATEGY MEETING.
Strategy meeting can wait for a bit of tsun tsun, though!
Anyway, meeting points:
-There's a boundary around the school, as we know but Shirou didn't.
-It's gonna kill everyone at the school.
-There's another Master at this school.
-The Master at school is probably a non-magus like Shirou.
-Rin's father is deeeaaaad.
-People die when they are killed?
-HEY BACK ON TOPIC.
-The boundary field around the school is super hax, probably created by a Servant.
-Rin can't destroy it.
-8 days to activation.
-We gotta defeat the Master by then.
And TIME. Whew, lot of exposition.
Shirou gets introspective for a bit, Rin tells him to go straight home without being a dumbass.
SURELY SHIROU CAN FOLLOW SIMPLE INSTRUCTIONS LIKE "TRY NOT TO DIE"
...actually, he can.
For now.
Shirou and Saber are awkward around each other for a while. Blah blah let's tell her about the Doom Barrier.
This conversation leads nowhere!
But now we have a chance to ask about other Servants, I guess.
Well, Archer's on my side, and we know well enough about Berserker...
>About Lancer.
Saber does know him, actually. His ability set and weapon are giveaways, apparently!
REVEAL:
Lancer
A.K.A
CU CHULAINN
Some Irish guy, okay. Let's get moving.
His spear, Gae Bolg, is said in legend to always pierce the enemy's heart without fail. Thus his Noble Phantasm ability!
Saber gets deeper into game mechanics a bit, explaining that because his Noble Phantasm is single-target and small-scale, it doesn't take much power to use, but it's still totally horseshit.
Dinnertime! The usual agonizing detail is given in describing the food.
Rin did a good job, and is a total dickbag about it.
Something's wrong here, though.
Fuck it, let's get serious.
BRB, everyone!
I have a GREAT IDEA.
HEY SABER
TO BE CONTINUED
