Fate/Outer Code: Another Order

Singularity F (III): Singular Point

(Y/N): Just for the record, Cyclops wouldn't have gotten the W without my assistance! 

He returned to Mash's rear just in time for the Shielder to put up her guard. The cave shook with the sound of the explosion that followed, fire bursting out from the Wicker Man and raining down in large sparks in every direction.

(Y/N): PURGE THEM IN FLAME! BURN IN HOLY FIRE!

Fortunately, Caster had taken cover under a shield made by Olga Marie, who was smart enough to stay far away from the battle. Right after, each pair looked over their shields to see the remains of the Wicker Man drop to the ground and crumble. The flames ate away at the wood, feeding into the fire, leaving it burning before their eyes.

Olga Marie: ...Is it over?

Shinketsu: And THERE it is.

(Y/N): Zombie Boss Lady, didn't they teach you that people die when they get killed at school?!

The sound of wood splintering caught their attention, and they saw to their horror something moving within the flames. A shadow rose, which took a few slow steps forward. With each armored step it took, the form became more visible, until they all saw what was approaching.

Saber, still alive.

Cu: You've gotta be fucking kidding me...

(Y/N): You're telling me, with your lame-ass Noble Phantasm. Voodoo-doll looking-ass motherfucker, couldn't even kill itself right.

It wasn't as if Saber was unscathed, granted. Chunks of her armor had fallen off in the explosion, with her chest and shoulder plates now missing entirely. Flames still burned on her exposed skin, leaving her normally pale flesh seared red.

(Y/N): Okay, now's the time for her Rage Art.

She lifted her right hand, which still held Excalibur in its grasp. She pointed the blade at them, causing them all to flinch. She then suddenly tossed the sword up above her head, only to catch the hilt with her left hand. She brought the sword to her hip, the blade aimed behind her.

Saber: Vortigern, Hammer of the Vile King. Reverse the rising sun.

Olga: She's got enough energy for a Noble Phantasm?!

Mash: Everyone, get behind me! Deploying Noble Phantasm!

As the corrupted energy behind Saber erupted into a black stream, Mash firmly planted her shield and summoned as much mana as she could.

Saber: Swallow the light!

Mash: Lord...

Saber: Excalibur...

Mash: CHALDEAS!

Saber: MORGAN!

The dark energy blasted off of the sword, turning into a gale of darkness that was swiftly approaching the group, threatening to consume them completely. Just before it did, Mash slammed her shield upright on the ground. A magical barrier appeared in front of it, and the wave of darkness collided with it.

She let out a strained cry as the torrent of pure magic hit the barrier she made, threatening to overcome it and erase them all. Just then, the voice of her Master echoed behind her.

(Y/N): Come on, Mashmallow, this is light work! We're not gonna let some Linkin Park-loving version of King Arthur even lay a scratch on us! It's an overwhelming victory for us!

His outstretched arm appeared at her side, touching the shield with a grin of utter confidence. Inspired by her Senpai's bravery, Mash held on despite the pressure it put on her body, and her efforts would be rewarded. As quickly as the attack began, it was over. The dark magic dissipated as it ran off of the barrier Mash had erected, fading away into nothing.
