As the battle against Ilya goes on, Rin found herself trapped in
Berseker's left hand as the Enemy Servant begins to squash her.
Saber tries to hit Berseker, maybe to let him release the magician girl,
but all her efforts are meaningless against the sheer strength if Ilya'
Servant, futhermore Saber's attacks seems to irritate Berseker and the
giant uses Tohsaka as a club to blow away Saber, who falls directly in
front of Emiya.
Ilya tells her Servant to hurry up and finish them and Berseker
increases the pressure of his hand causing a great deal of pain to Rin,
again Saber attacks the enemy and again her blows are useless. Shirou
looks at the scene with frustation and finally decides to do something
to help his comrades but as he step forward to join Saber in the fight
Berseker hits him with his frozen arm causing Shirou to literally fly
back and fall to the ground.
However Shirou doesn't intends to give up and again push himself toward
Berseker telling the Servant to let go of Rin while Saber tries to stop
him, seeing her Master walking toward a certain death Saber readies her
Noble Phantasm but Shirou uses one of his Reiju to prevent her doing so.
With a look of disbelief Saber asks Shirou with he stopped her, saying
that Excalibur is now their last chance to beat Berseker, Emiya stays
silent thinking that she don't have enough power to use the sword now
and suddenly he remembers the last words of Archer, that he cannot
defeat his opponents in reality but that he got the power to imagine
something that can let him defeat them in his imagination.
Trying to apply the concept to the current situation Emiya bring forth
the sword that he saw in his dreams about Saber's past, Caliburn,
Berseker jump toward him but ith a single slash Emiya is able to cut the
whole arm that was holding Rin, freeing the girl at last.
Unfortunately the sword vanishes after the blow leaving Emiya a little
stupefied because he was sure that a sword like that shouldn't have
shattered, but he still tries to make a new one sure that the shattering
was due to a flaw in his imaging.
But Berseker is now angered by the loss of his arm and wildly attacks
the boy, however Emiya continues his imaging while avoiding Berseker's
blow, trying to care about every little detail that can bring forth a
perfect Caliburn and finally succeeds, but a blow from Berseker force
him again to the ground.
Ilya taunt him about the fact that there's no way they can beat Berseker
and even Shirou wonders that he was able to create a sword that could
surpass Ilya's Servant but he's not able to use it and when Berseker
attacks him again Saber parries his attack defending Shirou.
She then grabs the sword's hilt together with his master and finally yhe
two are able to break through the defenses of Berseker and deliver a
deadly blow to the giant Servant, a blow that, as a calm Heracles says,
is able to crush all the remaining seven lives although the sword is
just an illusion made by a man, it is also an illusion that cannot be
disregarded.
The poor Berseker vanishes leaving a stupefied Ilya unable to come up
with the fact that she had lost, Saber would be more than glad to end
her suffering but Shirou stops her saying that now that her Servant is
gone Ilya is not a danger.
After a brief cutscene with some images from Saber's past, Shirou awakes
in his room and Saber is by his side awaitin for him to wake up.
With a grim look she asks Shirou how does he feels and Emiya asks her
what's the matter, the girl replies that she just saw a dream but
suddenly something begins to move UNDER Emiya's cover, guess what? yeah
it's Ilya and she's in bed with Shirou (don't worry is fully clothed!
XD), the girl complains about the noise caused by the conversation while
she's still asleep, and Emiya is started by her presence there.
Servant and Master begins to prepare the breakfast and again Shirou
became aware of some sort of tension from Saber, then Rin come to the
kitchen still in night clothes and asks Shirou for some milk lamenting
about an headache, Emiya simply greet her good morning and the girl asks
him about what he's cooking (hamburger steak it seems).
Saber says that Rin seems lazy today and Tohsaka replies that she's lazy
because Berseker is gone and the remaining Servants could easily be
defeated, Saber replies that there's nothing certain in combat but again
Rin says that for the great King Arthur all the remaining heroes can be
dealt with ease.
Hearing that Tohsaka knows Saber ture identity Emiya gave a little start
and asks her how did she knows and the girl replies that she only
confirmed the previous day when she saw Caliburn.
Well, at breakfast Rin asks Shirou what re his plans for "the spoiled
kid sleeping in the other room" and Saber precises that is Shirou's
Room, also she says that there's something worng in him protecting Ilya
but Emiya says that she cannot leace her alone because after all she's
still a kid.
Rin disagrees about that, mainly because of all the trouble the little
girl has caused to them, but Emiya says that Ilya needs someone to tell
her what's right and what's wrong so that she will not do again things
like what she did and besides Shirou is not fighting the war to kill
other Masters, Rin says that practically he's going to forgive her but
that she will not do that, especially after what Ilya did to Archer.
Suddenly Ilya enters the room asking what's wrong in that, because in
the end Servants will all disappear and accusing Rin to be a failure as
a Master for having toughts like that (and causing Rin to jump up!).
Ilya then proceeds to show her gratitude to Emiya for taking care of her
and she then sits greeting for all the delicious foods on the table, in
fact she greets Emiya with a hug and Saber tells her to back off from
him, also accusing her of insolence, Ilya says that is unpleasant from
Saber to say such a thing while dining and that she got bad manners.
Saber asks Shirou if he understand that providing shelter to Ilya will
mean only troubles, but Emiya still protect the little girl saying that
she's not dangerous because is not a Master anymore and Rin precises
that even if she has lost her Servant, Ilya is still a Master as long
she got her Reiju and the same goes for the Servants.
But suddenly Ilya says that she will not partner with any other Servant,
because her only Servant will always be Berseker and we caught a glimpse
of their first meeting, to relieve the tension she also says that only
if Shirou loses she'll take Saber but Saber replies that she will bever
become her Servant.
The breakfast ends with a little more arguing and the decision to
shelter Ilya, although Saber still disagrees.
Saber's bad mood is reflected also in the morning training, to the point
that Ilya wonders if it really is just training saying that Saber is
just going easy on Emiya, and also Shirou says that she seems more
restrained than usual, in the end it seems that Saber is worried by the
fact that their bodies would collide although Emiya isn't able to
realize the true meaning of that, so they quit training. XD
Shirou, Saber and Ilya got lunch and suddenly Saber cleans Ilya's face
causing a little deal of surprise, Saber explains that she got no
hostility towards Ilya and because she's a guest of Shirou, Saber feels
that she got to display a little courtesy.
The night falls and again there's an embarassed scene between Shirou and
Saber, when the guy open the bathroom's door and find his Servant bathing.
He then goes to Rin for a "magical check up" and Tohsaka is amazed by
the fact that there's nothing worng in him, even after performing the
great acts of sorcery he did, the two ends up chatting about the tracing
sorcery and tha sword he was able to bring forth, they also talk about
Excalibur Scabbard, able to heal the wounds of its bearer and one of the
major causes of King Arthur invincibility, Tohsaka also warns Shirou
from imaging again Saber's sword because it could be something beyond
his capability.
Still Emiya seems to be fixed about that sword and when alone he begins
to try again to summon Caliburn but he's interrupted by Saber, Emiya
says that he's doing some mental training because he couldn't sleep and
Saber asks him if he do that every day, the guy replies affermatively
and then asks about the dream Saber saw in the morning.
Saber tells him that she saw both his dream and his past and ask for
forgiveness but Emiya says that it's ok but also asks what was that
dream and Saber replies that was a conflagration, she also says that he
rsembles her and that she wants to prevents him from doing the same
mistakes she made, because they are similar.
Shirou tells her that he will become a protector of justice like his
father but Saber warns him about the fact that in the end his emotions
plays a little role in that and that his self-sacrifice is enormous, she
then leaves stating that Shirou also needs the Holy Grail and leaving
the guy dazzled.
The episodes ends with a brief scene with Caster saying that now that
Berseker is gone the only enemies are Lancer and Saber so there's
nothing to be worried about, and because the mana they have stolen will
soon reach the limit they need a Magician as a vessel for the Holy Grail
appearance, all they need is someone from a line of magician and the
chosen one is...Sakura!
