On the train that had just left Paddington station were Clovis Wolff along with Caster who confronted Sunahara Hiro along with Rider.
Clovis immediately fired magic bullets at Hiro but the latter dodged them with immense ease and started running for the wagons. Clovis decided to follow him, exclaiming:
« Caster defeat Rider! »Caster saw his Master leave the wagon; now the two Servants were alone. Caster opened his book and took out the goose feather. Rider remained motionless for just a moment but then, with impressive speed, set off for the attack. With a blow she tried to hit Caster but was stopped by a being made of ink that blocked the attack using its hands. Rider kicked that creature and beheaded it. Caster, smiling, said:
« I've got others for you, Rider. »
« Perfect! »
Other creatures of black ink attacked Rider together and the girl, with agility, dodged the various enemy attacks then counterattacked with slashes that cut the creatures in half. An ink being attacked Rider from behind but she pierced it with her sword; then ahe killed the one after cutting both its arms and its head; she killed the one after still beheading it directly.
An ink creature suddenly came and pushed Rider with such force that she smashed through the door of the wagon; Rider, to avoid falling, leaped sideways, ran to the side of the train and then climbed to the roof.
Caster created beings made of ink armed with swords and spears. These creatures reached Rider on the roof of the train and began to clash with her. Rider was alone against six opponents but thanks to her fighting technique she was very capable of keeping up with all of them.
After parrying the blows of two enemies, she leaped back to dodge the lance of a third; she lowered himself to avoid a slash of a fourth and a fifth enemy and got up, turning, to decapitate the sixth who was about to pierce her with a spear.Three opponents led several blows, one after the other, but Rider was able to dodge them all and with extreme speed tripped all three and while they were still in mid-air she cut them in half with the katana.
Only two enemies remained: one with a sword and one with a spear. Rider took a running start, sheathing her sword, and struck her opponent,the one with the spear, with a flying kick; the enemy with the sword tried to hit her from behind but Rider, with inhuman reflexes, immediately turned and parried the blow using the scabbard of the katana; she drew her weapon and cut off the head of the enemy; finally she killed the last one who was left.
Rider reached Caster, inside the wagon, and, pointing her sword, exclaimed in a combative tone:
« I'm not that easy to deal with, Caster! »
« In fact you are stronger than I imagined. » Caster said, worried.
Meanwhile Clovis managed to reach Hiro.
« You're weird, boy. » Watched Clovis.
Hiro didn't answer. Clovis sighed and pointed his hand toward the boy. He was ready to eliminate him but at that moment he saw a girl, dressed in white gothic dress, coming: Kumahira Yukiko. The girl, with a sadistic smile, told Clovis Wolff:
« I will not let you kill my puppy, you will die like a dog. »
« Go to hell! »
Clovis fired a magic bullet but Yukiko diverted it using only her hand. Clovis, shocked, stammered:
« How did you do it? Who are you ? »
« Kumahira Yukiko, remember this when you greet the Devil for me. »
Yukiko struck Clovis with a kick so powerful that it sent him flying into another wagon. Stunned, the man tried to get back on his feet but the girl appeared before him in a blink of an eye, as if she had used some sort of teleport.
Yukiko grabbed Clovis by the throat and pulled him up, that girl's strength was unheard of. The girl, with that sadistic grin on her face, threw Clovis against a wall of the train and then, approaching him, pressed her foot against his face; the heel of her boot was injuring Clovis, who felt like a helpless child against Yukiko; it seemed that the girl wanted to crush his head:
« You're a worm! You're a creepy lousy worm! And I will kill you! I will kill you! »
Hiro threw himself at Yukiko and pushed her to the ground. The girl, surprised and annoyed, got up immediately and exclaimed:
« Apparently the mental grip on you is not as strong as I expected! I'll have to get you back in line! »
Clovis realized that Hiro was under Yukiko's control and saw that the boy had a dull look, yes, but his eyes were watering; it was like he was trying to get rid of the girl's control. Hiro clenched his fists and tried to hit Yukiko but she was too fast and immediately dodged the blow then counterattacked with a kick that overturned Hiro.
Yukiko, smiling, said:
«You're nothing, Sunahara Hiro! You are not good either as a servant or as a Master. It is useless to waste time with you, a wretched slave who is nothing else! »
The train suddenly stopped in the middle of the tracks. Yukiko had fallen to the ground and Clovis took the opportunity to try to kill her but the girl was very fast moving and disappeared before she could hurt herself.
Clovis, still stunned, left the train and saw that they were in the middle of the railway. Police helicopters were coming and he knew immediately that he had to leave before it was too late. He used a Command Seal to order Caster:« Caster, cease your battle and come back to me! »
Caster returned to Clovis and the two fled the train together.
Hiro, still confused, tried to escape but found himself in front of Yukiko who with the foot raised the face of that boy with the empty expression. Yukiko, smiling, said:
« You have no idea how useless you are. Because of you Caster's Master has fled and the police will look for us, but perhaps the fact of being hunted by the police is not a problem as it might seem, after all I have my means to get rid of them. But as for you, Sunahara Hiro, I'm going to make you pay. »Rider, behind Yukiko, prepared to hit the girl with a determined attack; Yukiko turned and stopped Rider saying:
« Do you really think you are so fast that you can stop me from killing this fool? Please! We both know that this match has already been lost by you two, now you can no longer win the Holy Grail. »
« What is your goal, damn you ?! Why are you fighting this war ?! » Screamed Rider, furious.
« You wouldn't even understand if I explained it in Japanese. But don't worry, I'm not going to get rid of you. You are a powerful Heroic Spirit. However, Sunahara Hiro is not a magus of the same level. You don't need him. »
Yukiko knelt down and, touching Hiro's right hand, murmured:« Ge Det Till Mig. »
The Command Seal brightened and disappeared from Hiro's hand, but reappeared on the back of Yukiko's right hand. The girl got up and when Rider realized she was in Yukiko's hands, she resigned herself to the idea that she couldn't do anything to stop her.
Yukiko then said:
« Mitt Vapen. »
A pistol magically appeared in her right hand. She pointed the weapon at the boy's head. Yukiko had a cold expression, devoid of any emotion; Hiro had an empty face, with his head raised towards his executioner, the boy didn't realize what was happening … or so it seemed. Rider turned away and then left not to see the scene. She wasn't strong enough to see her former Master die like that.
Yukiko, keeping her eyes focused on Hiro's eyes, said:
« You were born to be just a pawn. You thought you were special, you thought you had a great destiny in front of you, but you were always just a pawn: a mediocre magus without talent. Some may improve over time, others may get worse, but you were not destined to improve or to get worse. You were always just a pawn. I will not even grant you the privilege of saying your last words, because a no one like you would have nothing interesting to say. Goodbye. »
Yukiko pulled the trigger. A shot went off.
