Fate/Fragmentary Tales

Chapter 2: Mutual Bonds. The First Encounter

Saber:"Thanks Master"

Assassin:"Round two, go!"

Her Kama's blades lit up on fire after she shook them for a bit, taking Saber aback but not enough to keep him in shock for too long. With the increased speed that the Master provided to the Servant, Saber had a better chance at blocking and dodging Assassin's attempts to cut him with the burning blades elegantly parrying and deflecting the Kama, the Master's support came in handy enough to corner Assassin at her current speed that's for sure

Assassin:"Hold hold j-just a moment! Time out! A second ago you weren't this fast!?" Shouted in worry the small Assassin as she began getting on the defensive, being forced to protect herself instead of being the attacker

Saber:"Master's support is essential in a battle of Servants, don't you forget that Assassin!"

A last slash from Saber's part made Assassin drop one of her Kama, jumping away before one last slash hit her. The Kama's fire turned off completely, leaving them as they were before

Assassin:"I can't believe i was cornered so quick into the battle..." The dropped Kama returned to her hand, dual wielding them once again

Saber:"I show no mercy to enemies" He pointed the katana to Assassin with a glare, confident in himself

Daiki:"Are you sure that's not because she's a kid?"

Saber:"Oh that too, just didn't feel the need to say it"

Assassin saved her weapons and stood straight, placing her hands behind her back with a smug grin

Assassin:"If that's so...then i don't need to hold back at all do i? You just took me by surprise, that's all!"

Showing her hands again, she threw a set of three hand grenades at Saber that had been activated before they were thrown. Saber reacted quick enough to deflect the grenades to the sides letting them blow up on the buildings at his sides before getting back on his guard. Assassin was nowhere to be found as the grenades lifted a smoke screen from the damage done on the surroundings, leaving Saber to remain on the defensive

Saber: Where did she even take those from-

A strong gust of wind hit his head from behind, alerting him of the incoming attack, though it was late enough to react as Assassin delivered a clear hit onto his face and made him back away with her fists holding a pair of iron brass knuckles, luckily enough they didn't have any sharp edge to deal any deadly blow though. After regaining his thoughts, Assassin and Saber began to clash their weapons in and endless exchange of attacks that Assassin was slowly but surely winning, even with Saber's increased speed he was still nowhere near to the girl's speed

Daiki: She had those hidden? Impossible, we would've noticed...could she be a Caster?

Saber deflected a last fist from her, leaving the two in a clash of strength to see who could surpass the other faster

Saber:"Where did you have these hidden? I never saw you with them before we faced" Asked the question the confused Saber, trying to win some ground in their exchange

Assassin:"I didn't, that's the catch!"

A swift kick from Assassin's part tried to hit Saber's face, it was blocked by his hand holding her leg on the spot right before it connected

Saber:"Then i assume you must've made it somehow!"

He lifted the kid by her leg and spun her around, then threw her towards a street lamp in an attempt to hurt her in a reliable way, however this didn't work much as she recovered quicker than he intended and boosted herself to rush around him at blinding speeds after jumping on the lamp before hitting it
