Fate Problem Child

Chapter 42 - Archer

"The wish of wanting everyone to be happy is merely a fairy tale!"

-EMIYA, Hero of Justice

------------------------------------------------------

A few days quickly passed by, the group easily defeated Rider Medusa and Caster Medea has already been captured and only Assassin, Saber and Archer were left. Gil's device couldn't tell Assassin's and Saber Card's location anymore which indicated that the Assassin card is someone else's hands now and the weirdest thing was that it couldn't tell Archer's true identity, it's like his legend hasn't been written yet. Despite not being able to tell its identity the device allowed them to find its location.

These days, Bazett didn't bother anyone in the group. She couldn't just capture Izayoi, not just because of his power that she witnessed when he defeated Berserker but also the fact that that there is a chance that he may be in alliance with the Church, so she had no choice but to just cooperate with the group for now.

....

The location of Archer revealed to be Fuyuki Bridge located at the center of Fuyuki City bridging both Miyami Town and Shinto.

In the fourth grail war, it was the final stage for the battle between Gilgamesh and Iskandar.

After the group reached the location, Gil sensed something in the Mirror World. Izayoi noticed the small change in Gil's facial expression and asked.

Izayoi: "Is there something wrong Gil?"

Gil: "There is someone else in the Mirror World and I am not talking the Heroic Spirit."

Izayoi: "It could be the Assassin or Saber Card user."

This easily shocked Bazett. To be able to tell sense someone's presence in the Mirror World from the real world, it was something that even Barthomeloi Lorelei, the Vice Director of Mage's Association may not be able to do.

Rin: "Let's go!"

As usual, a magic circle appeared beneath their feet and all of them were teleported to the Mirror World.

'This spell has a function of Second True Magic, Kaleidoscope.', thought Bazett. A spell-like this is not even in the hands of Mage's Association as such spells were lost after the Age of Gods.

.....

After entering the Mirror World, they saw that the fight has already long begun before they got here. In front of them was one blue-haired boy around barley dodging the attacks of a white-haired man with dark skin.

All of them except Bazett knew the identity of the blue-haired boy.

Rin: "Shinji."

Gil: "He is not a human anymore, he had been turned into a Doll.", It was easy for him to figure out what happened to him.

The Ainsworth family creates beings called Dolls, that appear similar to puppetry craft.

Rin/Bazett: "A Doll?", They both asked in confusion.

Gil: "The Ainsworth implant the consciousness of the deceased into dolls. However merely replicating an individual's concept and bodily function is difficult, so the process would cause some sort of damage to the ego. In some cases, it would deteriorate language capability.", He knew it as he read the research papers of the Ainsworth family.

Izayoi: "Looks like the Ainsworth family got him. Mage's Association Allowed this?", he asked while looking at Bazett.

Bazett: "Shinji Matou might be a descendant from a Magi family but he is not a magus, so Mage's Association would not care if anything happens to him."

Shirou: "But....?"

Before Shirou could finish, Shiji was already sliced into Pieces by Archer, Separating the Archer card from him.

Archer: "Now five are left.", He said as he looked at the group.

Bazett took an attack stance while Shirou just dazed at him like he was feeling some weird connection between them.

Archer: "Trace on.", A bow and a sword with a twisted spiral blade materialized in his hand. He nocked the sword in the bow like an arrow and aimed it at Bazett.

Archer: "My core is twisted in madness, CALADBOLG.", He as he fired the arrow at her.

The spinning sword moved at a speed at normal eyes couldn't see. The sword was utilized as a broken Phantasm that means that sword would explode after hitting its target.

Gil: "Shield of the Gods"

Before the sword could hit Bazett a dome-like structure appeared out of nowhere shielding her and rest of the group from the blast.

The Shield of the Gods is a massive, ornate dome-shield contained in the Gate of Babylon. It could easily block even A+ rank attacks.

Gil: "You can copy Noble Phantasm like Shirou. interesting."
