Cherry Lover:
Sakura and Shirou
Sakura nodded.
"OK, follow us, then", she said, before walking off at a reasonably brisk pace towards a nearby area of wasteland, sending one of her shadow familiars towards the top of a derelict building nearby as she did so.
After a few minutes' walking, they arrived at their destination, and Sakura nodded to her alternate self.
"OK, this will do", she said, grabbing hold of Shirou as she spoke. "We will need to start somewhat further apart, though. Se..Shirou's strongest attacks are ranged."
With that, Sakura began to chant.
"Aufsaugen! Aufsaugen! Aufsaugen!" she said, tendrils spreading over Shirou's body as she did so. "Verschwinden! Teleportieren!"
With that, the two of them vanished into Sakura's shadow, before exiting shortly after from the familiar on top of the building. On arrival, the two of them chatted for a few moments, discussing what would be the optimal strategy to win the fight without risking accidentially killing their opponent. Then, they took up their positions and began.
"Trace on!" Shirou said, tracing a bow and a copy of a moderately powerful Noble Phantasm, preparing to fire.
"Erschaffe Hornissenschwarm!" Sakura shouted, a swarm of hornets beginning to form behind her. "Mehr! Mehr!"
"Erzeugen Schattenigel! Wiederholen! Wiederholen!" she continued, forming several blobs of shadow a little way behind their opponent. "Angriff!"
Simultaneously to her finishing the chant and sending the hornets towards the other Sakura, Shirou shouted the name of his noble phantasm, sending it hurtling towards their opponent. However, instead of targetting her directly, which he felt would be too dangerous, he instead set it to explode a little in front of her, close enough that he expected it to send her flying backwards and cause her significant burns, but not to kill her outright. Then, to finish off the attack, as the girl attempted to evade, Sakura made one last chant.
"Schießen!" she shouted, sending spikes firing out of the shadow blob, intending to pierce their opponent.

Sakura Edelfeldt
Sakura rolled her eyes.
"You're underestimating me." She said simply, not moving an inch from where she stood. A black wall quickly rose up in the spell's path, sucking the mana out of the explosion as it impacted and disintigrating into fine black dust. "If this was a real fight-" Another wall rose up behind her, rematerializing into her "sister", who proceeded to spread outwards and block her doppler's attacks.
"-you'd already be dead. Come at me seriously." Suddenly, she charged forward, sprinting towards them as fast as some servants moved. Within seconds, she'd have closed the distance.
Cherry Lover:
Sakura and Shirou
Shirou watched with a look of shock on his face as the alternate Sakura simply absorbed the force of the blast into her shadow, with absolutely no apparent effect. Sakura was a little less surprised, aware that it was in principle possible, but nevertheless she was impressed by the girl's power.
"Apparently I did, yes. But I'd far sooner do that than overestimate you", Shirou said, in response to the girl's statement.
They were even more shocked at the girl's speed of movement. Fortunately, though, Sakura was used to fighting against such powerful enemies, and she repeated her trick from earlier.
"Abfangen! Entmündigen sie!" Sakura shouted, sending her hornets after the girl, instructing them to attempt to incapacitate her with their tranquilizing stings.
The hornets did as instructed, splitting into smaller groups in order to be more difficult to destroy. Wasting no time, Sakura began to chant again.
"Aufsaugen! Aufsaugen! Aufsaugen! Verschwinden! Teleportieren!" she chanted, sucking Shirou into her shadow dimension once more, before disappearing and reappearing on top of another derelict building.
Realising the girl's power, Sakura additionally sent small familiars to every other potential vantage point, ensuring that she would have the ability to continue to escape her much-faster opponent in this manner. Then, having recognised the girl's power and escaped to a safe distance, they made a second attempt at attacking her, this time taking her full power into account.
"Erstelle Schattenball!" Sakura shouted, pointing in the girl's direction. "Anderer! Und anderer! Alles aufspießen!"
In response to Sakura's chanting, several more blobs appeared, just behind and to the side of the girl, as well as one above her. Then, on her command, they sprouted large spikes, intending to pierce her. Meanwhile, Shirou, taking advantage of the distraction Sakura was hopefully creating, began to chant once more.
"I am the bone of my sword!" he said. "Caladborg!"
With that, he fired the powerful Noble Phantasm directly at their opponent, not holding back in the slightest. Sakura, meanwhile, continued to summon up little blobs of shadow, each one designed to impale her if she was not careful. And, unless they were destroyed by either the explosion or the alternate Sakura's attacks, the hornets would continue to attempt to sting her.

Sakura
Sakura ignored the hornets, speeding forwards far faster than they could even perceive, quickly leaving them in the dust. Bug magic matched up with her profile. She'd done a bit of independent research into the grail war at one point. She turned towards Sakura and Shirou before they even came up, seeming to have an instinctual knowledge of Sakura's magic.
To her surprise, it seemed to work differently from hers.
She saw the sword coming in towards her, and didn't waste any time. A black mist emenated from her shadow continuously, devouring all things magic within even the shortest of moments. The noble phantasm hurtling towards her's form wavered and then shattered inside.
She suddenly hurtled forwards, using the speed of her shadow to burst forward faster than they could percieve, until she was on the same rooftop as them.
"Stop. Thanks." She smiled at the two wryly. "That's better." She flicked Shirou's forehead, sending him stumbling back. "Your magic-it seems off?" Sakura turned to her doppler, frowning in concern. She could feel a strange connection to her that she couldn't place, and it gave her the heebie jeebies. "Something happen to you as a kid?"
She wasn't sure why she felt that way.
Cherry Lover:
Sakura and Shirou
The couple were utterly astonished by the manner in which she destroyed one of Shirou's most powerful attacks, leaving Sakura wondering if she was capable of doing something similar. However, they had no time to really consider the situation, as the girl charged towards them, too fast for Sakura to teleport them away. Immediately, Shirou summoned up his trusty swords, only for the girl to shout out for them to stop, followed by immediately flicking his forehead hard enough to send him stumbling back. Then, as he desummoned his swords, she turned to address Sakura, a concerned frown on her face, and asked her about her magic.
"Y..yes", Sakura said, a sad look in her eyes. "I wasn't suitable for the Matou magecraft, so they.. changed me."
