Shirou, Rin and Saber are forced to stop for a while because Saber's
condition are not so good, although the Servbant claims to be ok Shirou
insinst to carry her and Saber looks really disappointed because of
this, to the point that Rin suggests Shirou to use one of the reiju to
make her stop complaining.
At last Saber accepts the fact that his master will carry her and the
three continue their flight.
While running Shirou becomes aware of the fact that Saber's body is
burning, probably due to the exaustion from her previous battle with
Rider, knowing that they will do something about this Shirou still
continues to talk back all Saber's complainings, saying that because she
has saved him many times this is the least he can do to repay her, but
even his strength is not so much and the boy falls down, hitting a trunk
with her back.
However he tries to minimze the thing saying that his legs tangled up a
bit and again he grabs Saber but his Servant states that his
recklessness must end, suggesting that both Shirou and Rin got to run
away without her and when Shirou disagrees Saber ask for Rin's approval.
But Tohsaka show them a wrecked house saying that htey didn't have time
to argue, and the trio tooks refuge in the structure.
Rin says that Archer founds the place while they were on their way to
the castle, as a sort of emergency hideout, Shirou put Saber on a bed
and Rin says that even if Ilya is still after them she will probably
need more time, in fact she hopes that hte white-haired master will lose
enough time to let them rest until sunrise.
Then Shirou start to talk about Archer and Rin replies that she just
told him to buy enough time for them to flee, saying that her Servant
was a jerk until the end but saying that with a disconforted expression,
anyway she doesn't want Archer's efforts go wasted so thay got to defeat
Berseker there so she tries to raise Shirou's morale.
Rin says that even if their enemy is Berseker, he got to have suffered
some injuries due to his fight with Archer and also, Tohsaka had brought
her ultimate jewel with her, so if Saber could recover Rin can come up
with a strategy of some sort that will let them win.
Shirou says that htey got no way to let Saber recover but Rin replies
that the Servant just need to be replenished of a certain amount of mana
so they got to transfer Shirou's magic circuit to her, guided by Rin
they will be able to re connect the spiritual link between Master and
Servant.
The only problem in doing that is that if SHirou transfer his magic
circuit to Saber he will suffer a fatal deficiency for the rest of his
life, and he will never be a complete magician, but Shirou seems to
don't care about this and agrees with Rin's plan.
So Rin begins the ritual, in fact she begins it with a kiss on Shirou's
lips as a "preliminary part" of the ritual, and says that she will ask
Saber to put some effort in the whole thing and also asks Shirou to feel
less shaken of he will unbalance the ritual.
Saying that for the pre-phase of the process they need as much physical
contact as possible, Rin begins to caress Saber's body while the Servant
asks Shirou to stop Rin, but the guy looks dazzled and Tohsaka says that
if he stops here the ritual will fail, so Shirou let the thing proceed
while Rin asks him to join them on the bed (i know, i know, it seems
like a dirty thing but remember that originally FSN is a H-Game! ^^'').
The ritual goes on and Shirou finds himself into Saber's conscience,
there he's attacked by a drsgon-like creature that tears the right arm
away from him, while we see Saber at the center of a magic circle.
Morning come finally and the magic circuit transfer seems to have
worked, Shirou awakes just to find himself in the bed with Saber and he
jumps away from her, embarassed. XD
Anyway Saber says that she's now able to receive mana from him so the
whole things was a success, although Saber excuses herself with Shirou,
saying that when obtaining his magic circuit she tried to take as little
as possible but even that little was too much for him.
Shirou says that there's no problem and that doesn't seem he will have
any problem in using reinforcement sorcery, in fact he thinks that the
circuit he usually don't use was transferred to her and he's glad
because now he got a sort of connection with her, finally Rin awakes and
the trio begins a battle meeting.
Tohsaka thinks that the priority is to finish Berseker off without
giving him a chance to counterattack and Saber agrees with her, Rin
intends to use Shirou and Saber as a bait while she will launch a
surprise attack, also because Shirou will be the first target of Ilya.
Saber also says that for her is fine to fight Berseker but Shirou is not
able to do it because is not skilled in black sorcery, but her Master
says that he will come up with something and the three begins to prepare
for the battle while shirou uses a fallen branch to create a bow (both
Saber and Rin looks a little surprised anyway XD).
Then Rin hide on a tree while Shirou and Saber got a little discussion
about the fight with Berseker, Shirou doesn't want her Servant to die
but Saber replies that even with the amount of mana she now got, it's
not sure that she will be able to defeat Berseker but she will do her
best to survive.
Finally Ilya and Berseker appears, the little girls says that she tought
that they will run until the end and she's also disappointed that Saber
has recovered, Ilya doesn't think that they will able to beat her and
she declares to Shirou that this is his end.
Because the whole forest it's Einzbern force field, Ilya also know that
Rin is still there and says that she will search for her later, to kill
the other magician.
After a little more arguing Ilya shows her magic mark and Saber says
that is far greater than any other magician she have seen before,
suddenly Berseker's abilities rise and the fight begins, Saber fight
with BErseker while Shirou creates an arrow and tries to drive his
attention away but Ilya orders her Servant to ignore Shirou.
The strength of Berseker is still tremendous and Saber seems to be in
trouble, Shirou looks reallt frustrated and wonders if there's nothing
he can do to protect his Servant, suddenly he remembers Archer's word
and tries to create the invincible sword he saws in his dreams, while a
powerful blow of Berseker's sword breaks Saber's armour.
The Servant still attacks Berseker and she's able to force him back a
little, suddenly Rin jump out from her hideout and attacks Berseker with
her magic bolts freezing his right arm, but Ilya's Servant is able to
grab her and begins to crush the magician girl while Ilya congratulates
with Rin for being able to kill Berseker at least one time.
Ilya finally explains that Berseker couldn't die unless he's killed for
at least twelve times, that's because he's the greel hero Heracles that
atoned for his sins overcoming the twelve trials and becomed immortal,
that's Berseker Noble Phantasm: GOd Hand.
Now Berseker died because of Rin's attack but he still got seven lives
to spend.
Finally Ilya orders her Servant o squash Rin and the episode ends with
Tohsaka suffering expression.
