Skills: Saber
Instinct: A
The ability to always "feel" the best course for oneself during combat.
This heightened sixth sense is now close to precognition.
It reduces by half any obstacles to vision and hearing.
Magical Energy Burst
This transfers magical energy into one's weapon and body, and by releasing the magical energy instantaneously, it increases one's ability. Simply said, it is like magical energy jet propulsion.
Saber uses this magical energy for her sword techniques, guarding, and movement. Because of her great magical energy capacity, she can fight Berserker even though she is a girl of small size.
A normal weapon without strong divine protection will not be able to endure her magical energy-fueled attack and will be destroyed in one blow.
Fate Chapter 11: To Kill a Mockingbird Swallow
So! Let's roll back a bit.
Yeah, we now acknowledge that fighting in our current state is dumb and bad.
>Don't Fight.
I've been skipping over it, but it's worth mentioning that Shirou keeps flashing back to this image about once every 2 minutes.
Saber's uncooperative, so Shirou helpfully and tactfully points out that YOU LOST TO BERSERKERRRRRRRRRRRRR
*cough*
*cough cough*
awkward
Shirou predictably angsts over making Saber angst.
Meanwhile!
Interlude 6-1
Fate.
Suddenly third-person narrative with Saber as the focal character!
What is she up to? Nothing bad, I assume!
GODDAMMIT SABER
THIS IS WHAT I JUST BAD ENDED ABOUT
Well this sucks!
Saber's on her way up, with me unable to prevent her. Will anyone else do the job for me?!
Hey, look. New character.
Saber finds him ominous as fuck on account of how incredibly not-ominous he is. No aura of doom. No magical radiation. Just a guy with a sword and a feeling that if you approach he'll kill you without hesitation.
Against all expectations, not only does the enemy respond, but he gives his true identity, too!
Servant Assassin
AKA
SASAKI KOJIROU
Neither did some of the audience watchers, probably. Thanks, helpful narrator!
Looks like Saber's going to give her name in return!
PREPARE YOURSELF
Aww.
But enough talk.
HAVE AT YOU!
Interlude Out
HOT CHICK SENSE
TINGLING
Women, am I right?
THEY SHOULD JUST
FATE/STAY IN THE KITCHEN
*cough*
Anyway. Time to go rescue Saber like a moron. We're off!
Interlude 6-2
Fate.
Meanwhile, back on the mountain, Saber stings like a bee while Assassin floats like a butterfly. Saber's not making any headway, and Assassin's only fighting to defend the temple!
Assassin is being conservative because of Saber's invisoblade! Was that an opening?
No.
Looks like we've lost the invisoblade advantage!
He measured it by being just that good.
Oh he went there!
Saber's sword, indeed, has yet to be drawn. She's not gonna draw it!
Oh shit, here comes Assassin's secret ultimate technique.
"Tsubame Gaeshi."
What happens next is hard to follow! But Assassin did SOMETHING and Saber instinctively knew that she would immediately die if she didn't fling herself down the stairs.
Saber Health
[||||||||||||||||||||]
[||||||||||||||||||||]
Like any good shonen anime villain, Assassin then goes on to explain what happened in ways that don't make much sense!
In case you haven't noticed, this guy is the Badass Normal of the game!
Do we have a tactic?
It is time.
To unsheath Saber's sword.
WILL ASSASSIN'S TSUBAME GAESHI BE A MATCH FOR SABER'S ULTIMATE ATTACK
WILL SHIROU BE ABLE TO ARRIVE IN TIME TO COMPLETELY FUCK EVERYTHING UP
STAY TUNED
FOR THE NEXT
EXCITING EPISODE
OF FATE/STAY NIGHT Z
