Mille couldn't help but smile a little in response to Lancer's own smile.

Rin, on the other hand, gave Lancer a bit of a solemn nod in response to the Irishman's question, trying to convey both that Forest seemed unharmed and yet the matter may be serious at the same time.

"Actually, it's Rin Tohsaka, from earlier. You were taking a long time to get back, so we wanted to check to see if you're OK." Rin didn't want to hold Forest up too long, so she decided to keep her questions simple. "Are the others alright? And do you want us to come help?"

"Actually, some help would be stellar," Forest replied before giving Rin their location.  "We may have to organize search parties to find Isa."

******

Lancer sighed and said, "You never do anything easy, do you, Fore?"

"We'll be over as soon as possible. We may even have extra numbers to help out too, provided they're willing to come along. We'll see you there." Rin hung up the phone. "Alright, so who's willing to go help?"

"Like I said earlier, I'm going with you no matter what," said Mille. "And I think you'll need me. It sounds like we're in for a fight, and bigger numbers can always help tip the scales."

Finn grinned. "Count me in too. There's no way I'd turn down helping with a rescue mission. Besides, Bond villain, huh? Sounds like this'll be a fun fight."

Mille rolled her eyes. "Of course you'd think that."

"Alright, so that's two more, and I'm sure Lancer's coming along no matter what." Rin turned to Archer. "What about you?"

"Of course I'll help.  I have experience at playing the hero," Archer replied, "Besides, if I can keep you out of trouble Rin all the better."

Lancer nodded and said, "Well, then its settled."  He looked at Ruu and asked, "Can you watch the fort while we're gone?"

"Stakes theough the heart? Reminds me of a few vampire movies I watched some time ago," Shirou said dryly, quickly whipping out his SMG. He began firing short controlled bursts at the staggered vampires Forest had left in her wake, aiming, as suggested, for the head. Some were surprisingly tenacious, but their earlier attempts to be appear sincere had cost them, making them almost sitting ducks. Ducks who could still kill him if he let up for a second.

As they fell, Shirou quickly ran forward, firing one-handed, whilst he browsed through his mental inventory for a weapon made of wood. It was surprisingly difficult. Suddenly, Shirou smirked, eyes fiery as he thought of the perfect weapon.

Throwing aside his now empty gun, Shirou leapt into the air, before slamming down onto one of the incapacitated vampires. Despite being blunt, Shirou's reinforced muscles allowed him to force the 'point' of the Tora Shinai through the vampire's ribcage, penetrating cleanly into the heart.

He ignored the creature's wails and writhing, he had lost all sympathy when they had tried to threaten him with Isabella. He quickly stabbed Black Keys through it as an extra precaution, to ensure the vampire didn't revive and sneak up on him, before moving on to the others, firing black keys and shinais in an oddly effective rain of steel and wood. His eyes lingered briefly on the woman vampire, as be contemplated attempting to interrogate her. He quickly stomped over, Black Keys in hand.

"What have you done with Isa? Where is she?" he demanded.

Ruu understood they had to go. "It will wait here." He said obediently.

----

Valken looked at the whole situation turning into a whole mess with a faint smile. Things didn't go as planned but that was also part of the fun. As the blonde vampire walked in his direction, he continued to drink patiently, never showing any trace of nervousness. On the contrary, he took pleasure seeing people being so quick to jump to conclusion. With a polite tone, he welcomed Forest with a nod, all the while ignoring completely the vampires getting wounded by Archer's arrows.

"We finally meet Law Unto Herself. I expected you to come straight to me. Unfortunately I have no time to spare." Without departing from his good manners, he glanced towards the driver and another woman got out. Pale complexion, golden blond hairs cascading her shoulders, the Fae walked to face the Vampire. Dressed like the other men under Valken, she looked pretty young as well. "Isiel, would you mind keeping Law Unto Herself company? I have more pressing matters to attend to." The green emerald eyes didn't blink but she nodded. "As you wish, master." She snapped fingers and a surge of indigo flames erupted from beneath Forest's feet.

Without looking for the result, Valken raised his hand and a ring shone slightly. What looked like a spatial rift opened large enough for him to pass through. The next instant, he was gone, and the portal vanished right after.

----

Olga shook her head with closed eyes. "We came to warn you against a person who's a threat for everyone and yet you attack us before we can even explain." The girl looked towards Shirou, a strange expression on her visage. "I don't know where is the girl, my Boss asked us to find her but Touzaki Shuya disappeared with the teenager" Icy blue eyes peered at the Magus Killer. "You misunderstood me. While it's true the evidence is a fake, she indeed lost an arm." Curiously, she didn't seem about to defend herself even when you pinned her down. "I don't intent to fight you." She said on a serious tone. Two others, however, didn't seem eager to stay idling and went straight for the magus freeing their fellow vampire from Shirou's grasp. Olga looked at the vampires close to the limo, Shirou, Archer and finally the confrontation opposing Isiel and Forest. After a short hesitation she decided to go for the later.

If she had to die, it would be only after making sure Law Unto Herself would get what she deserved.

----

"Going somewhere?" Asked an arrogant voice from the stairs. Touzaki Shuya eyed Rider, Kiyoshi and Taiga from where he stood, an unconscious person on the shoulder. His smile broadened savagely when his eyes met Rider's. A malevolent aura unleashed as he talked happily. "Yo, Eyepatch. Could swear it's been months since then. Got your power back??" And without a second to spare, he brought down his blade to cut her.

Kiyoshi and Rider looked at each other in bemusement at the utter absurdity of Taiga's comment. She was a blind child in a wheelchair, neither of them could see how she could possibly protect him. But, if her ridiculous belief made her more inclined to come with them, neither of them saw any reason to complain, or to correct her. Instead, they both turned and followed her in the direction of the door.

But, before they could get there, they were interrupted by a voice that was familiar to Rider.

"Going somewhere?"

Shit, Rider thought.

The idiot from earlier was back, and from the tone of his voice she suspected he wanted to continue their fight. Rider looked at him noting, oddly, that he had a girl on his shoulders, before quickly changing into her battle outfit and summoned her nails, desperately thinking of how they could escape.

At the same time, Kiyoshi turned to look at the man.

Eh, what? he thought as he saw his aunt change into her battle outfit and summon up her weapons, clearly expecting a fight.

He could see from her reactions and that of the man that the two had met before, and it didn't seem like he was friendly. Kiyoshi also prepared himself, although he did not summon up his swords just yet.

Rider continued to think about the situation. It was, in a word, bad. Whilst Kiyoshi could just about protect himself if necessary, Taiga was a sitting duck, literally. If the man decided to he could kill her with a single sword swipe. And, if doing so meant getting her to fight, then she suspect he would, too. Which meant that she would be unable to use the mobility that was her best asset.

Before she could come to any plans, though, the man sope again.

"Yo, Eyepatch. Could swear it's been months since then. Got your power back??"

And, with that, he charged at Rider.

"What? It's been less than half an hour. And, no, I haven't", she said, angrily.

But, the man's approach prevented Rider thinking any more on the topic. Quickly, she made her decision. She couldn't fight the man whilst protecting the two children. Even ignoring her limited prana supply, her fighting style relied too much on mobility for that. So, instead, she decided she would draw the man away, and hold him off until Kiyoshi could get himself and Taiga out of there, and alert Forest and the others to their plight. If the man went for them instead, she was sure that Kiyoshi could defend the two of them for the few moments it would take her to put a nail in the guy's back.

So, as the guy approached her position, Rider lept up over his head and to the right, landing in the lobby some way behind him and turning to face him. By the time he swung the Katana, she was already well out of his reach, hoping that Kiyoshi would be taking up a defensive position in front of the wheelchair-bound girl.

To her horror, though, instead of Kiyoshi summoning up his swords to protect Taiga, she saw a small green glow on his arm, followed by a few shadow tentacles shooting out in the man's direction.

The anger Kiyoshi was feeling at the unprovoked attack and his general desire to defeat bad guys had over-riden Kiyoshi's sense. Instead of protecting the girl, he was determined to teach this moron a lesson. Not even waiting to see if the tentacles would hit the man, he quickly summoned up his swords and charged.

"Leave my Aunty alone!", he shouted.

"Kiyoshi, no!", shouted Rider as her impromptu plan fell apart in front of her eyes.

Shuya looked at Rider, as the woman intended to lure him away from the children. The hybrid stood there pondering silently. Would it be alright to have her bring the unconscious girl to the vampire? Apparently she was keeping an eye on the kids here but he felt like he had to check first. She, after all, attacked an innocent girl earlier in order to feed. And from the look of it, she didn't have her meal yet.

The only goal of his serious attack had been to see if she was low on prana. Without it, there was always the possibility she would consumes the wounded girl's. And that's not something he was ready to allow. He would have to go, however, not before questioning Eyepatch about blondie's whereabouts. However, something completely unexpected happened.

The boy attacked him out of the blue. There was only enough for Shuya to dodge the tentacles aimed in his direction. with a side step.

Quote
Leave my Aunty alone!

Black swords in hands, the little guy rushed him. There was anger in his voice and he went straight for him without hesistation.

Quote
Kiyoshi, no!

Rider's voice echoed but Shuya didn't pay her attention. The hybrid sheathed his weapon and blocked the child's assault with his sheath all the while making sure no harm would be inflicted upon the girl. Despite the few cuts he earned trying to shield her, he couldn't help but smile. The boy even was able to move after he displayed an amount of killing intent enough to paralyze most humans.

"Oh you're pretty good, son. And you got spirit too. I like that." Shuya commented with appreciation for the skill showed by the boy. He jumped in a similar way Rider did, only to land about a meter away from her. "What's you name kiddo?" He asked, completely ignoring the Servant, even daring to turn his back to her.

If there was a chance to strike, it would be about right now, while he was completely unguarded.

Taiga frowned turning to see the chaotic mess of colours and sighed. Opening her eyes the colours were replaced with the honest appearance of the room and the people in it. In order to find her brother and bring him back they would have to meet up with some person Rider knew and before that this person was attacking them.

her magic flared to life causing her eyes to glow and she declared to the room "stop fighting right now!" she said.

Her mystic eyes did not need eye contact  her command would be followed by the man and Kiyoshi and Rider as well unless they were protected by some seriously  strong magic.

Satoshi continued building, it was almost mindless behavior if only to stave off the buzzing in his head.

Bloody hell, a Faerie, Forest thought to herself as the indigo flame erupted under her feet.  However, the girl, Isiel, wasn't overly old, and Forest had a lot of experience on how to deal with Faerie magic.  As soon as the flames erupted, she jumped out of the way.  She rolled upon the pavement, snuffing any flame, before standing back up.

Her eyes matched the fire intended to kill her for a moment before turning bright, glowing crimson.

After vomiting up that corrupted blood, she needed to replenish.  The thing about fighting Faeries was while they could tank pain decently, overwhelming them with pleasure crippled them.  They were hedonistic and sensual creatures at their core.  Plus their blood was powerful and heady stuff.  Fangs bared, Forest grabbed the Faerie girl, overpowering her, and sank her teeth into the girl's neck with surprising delicacy. 

As the first rush of hot blood hit her mouth, Forest instinctively opened a mental pathway to Isiel before overriding the pleasure receptors in the Faerie's mind.  First she'd have the Faerie feel sublime arousal before pitching her over the edge with multiple induced orgasms.  As her blood would be drained and her body and mind overwhelmed, Forest knew that eventually the maiden would black out between sensory overload and blood loss.

She just hoped that Shirou or Archer would keep her back cleared while she dealt with the biggest threat.

******

Lancer ruffled Ruu's head and said, "That's a good lad.  Forest has medical supplies in the WC on the floor so I'll need you to get them out and have them ready.  There maybe others injured if she's having issues."

Then he looked at Finn and Mille.  He said, "I'm the fastest man here, especially on foot.  I'll know the arsehole will be carrying Rin, but he can't keep up when I hit top speed.  However, carting you two around going to slow me down.  However, I'm sure you can drive, right lad?  There's a whole garage full of 'Pony Cars' that go real fast and I'm sure Forest won't mind if we use one.  Just don't wreck it."

It felt weird giving marching orders, that would have been something Rin or Forest would have done.  He was more use to pointing his weapon at the enemy, bellowing his intent, and going full tilt.  Still, they thought of him as his Landlady's Second, which was sort of true but not.  And the bowman wasn't a leader- he was a strategist, but he worked alone or manipulated to get the cause he wanted, and this blackened version seemed rather lackadaisical.

"Let's go people," he said as he headed towards the garage, grabbing a set of keys to throw at Finn.

"Tch, missed you two," Shirou grunted, quickly jerking his head to the right to avoid getting a fist in his face. He moved his head back, before quickly head-butting one vampire, twisting out of the second vampire's hold at the same time. Kanshou and Bakuya materialised in his hands, which he quickly used to decapitate the vampires, before stabbing them through the heart with his improvised stakes.

"Now, what did you mean she disappeared with Touzak..." Shirou trailed off, realizing Olga had escaped. He quickly whirled around, to catch a glimpse of curly brown hair within the crowd, slowly making her way towards Forest. He contemplated using his bow, but he might skewer Forest or another ally if he wasn't careful.

Snarling, he quickly chased after Olga, using his favorites weapons to dispatch any idiots who got in his way, allowing Archer to dispatch the rest. He strained his mind, and started materializing weapons above and in front of Olga, dropping them in attempts to skewer or hamper her progress. It worked brilliantly, allowing him to catch up. He threw a set of Keys at her feet, forcing her to stop, uncomfortably close to where Forest was grappling with her own opponent; before wheeling in front of her, Tracing Durandal and leveling its point at her, his other hand quickly withdrawing a Glock from his coat.

"I'll have the rest of your explanation now," he quipped, a slight smile which didn't reach his hardened steel eyes, plastered on his face.

Rider stood there horrified as Kiyoshi attacked, fully expecting his opponent to show him no mercy. Knowing she would have to intervene to protect him before he got himself killed, Rider tensed herself and prepared to attack the asshole, even if that meant losing her advantage. However, to her extreme surprise, their opponent instead chose to sheathe his sword, using the scabbard to block Kiyoshi's attacks.

Eh, what? Rider thought.

She simply could not understand him. He seemed to revel in fighting and killing and, yet, he had refused to even use his weapon for defence against Kiyoshi.

Oh, I see, Kiyoshi is not a "worthy" opponent, so he won't fight him, she thought.

Kiyoshi was equally surprised by the man's actions. Despite the killing intent radiating off him, he had shown no indication of fighting back, instead using his scabbard to block Kiyoshi's attacks. Despite this, Kiyoshi continued to swing his swords at the man, noticing with pride that he had managed to cause some damage, albeit superficial.

See, dad, I can beat the bad guys like a real hero, he thought, proudly.

Then, his opponent spoke up.

"Oh you're pretty good, son. And you got spirit too. I like that", he said.

Kiyoshi smiled at the compliment, although he was somewhat unnerved about the fact that the bad guy seemed to like him. After all, bad guys liked evil things, right? Meanwhile, Rider cringed.

Don't encourage him you asshole! she thought.

With his comment, the man jumped towards Rider. As he did so, Rider tensed herself, expecting an attack. But, to her surprise, he ignored her entirely, focussing instead on Kiyoshi.

"What's you name kiddo?", he said.

"That's none of your damn business, as... moron", Rider shouted, mincing her words slightly in the presence of the two children. "Now, leave us alone!"

Meanwhile, Kiyoshi reacted to Shuya's move by charging in his direction at full speed. Ignoring his Aunt's rebuttal, he responded to Shuya's question.

"My name is Emiya Kiyoshi, and I want to be a hero like my father. Now, leave my Aunt alone before I make you!" he said, angrily.

Rider had to restrain herself from facepalming. She knew Kiyoshi's intentions were good, but it was clear from his actions that their opponent was not overly interested in continuing the conflict further, perhaps because he now knew that she lacked the prana necessary to make it a good fight. And, she couldn't help but notice that he had been protecting the girl over his shoulder, too.

Wait, she looks familiar, Rider thought.

But, before she could think any further on the topic, she noticed that Taiga had opened her eyes. Then, suddenly, she felt a strong flow of mana around the girl, and saw her eyes begin to glow.

What the hell? she thought.

Then, the girl spoke up.

"stop fighting right now!", she said.

Suddenly, Kiyoshi felt his body get heavy, slowing him to a stop. He felt nauseous and lightheaded, and it seemed like his mind and body were no longer fully connected. His body was acting of its own accord, doing whatever was necessary to obey the girl's command that they not fight.

No, I have to protect Aunty Rider! he thought.

But, his body was simply not complying with his demands. He was able to summon up enough willpower to begin moving once more, albeit more slowly but, as he approached the man, the mana supply to his swords was abrupty cut off, his body reacting to ensure the girl's command would be obeyed. No amount of willing on Kiyoshi's part could make them return. Eventually, he gave up, stopping a metre of so short of the man and staring at him angrily.

Meanwhile, Rider watched Kiyoshi's struggle with confusion, at least initially. However, as she looked on, the pieces began to slot together in her mind. A flow of mana into the girl, followed by glowing eyes and, finally, a command which Kiyoshi and, seemingly, also his opponent had been affected by. But, yet, she had not felt anything.

Mystic eyes of persuasion. And, pretty powerful ones, seemingly.

That explained why Kiyoshi had been stopped in his tracks and, also, why she was unaffected.

My blindfold protects me, she thought.

Then, it dawned on her.

This is a perfect opportunity. The asshole can't fight. I can just stick a nail in his back.

But, yet, she hesitated. Whilst killing him in cold blood was not something she had any real issue with, she knew that it was unlikely Taiga would see it the same way, and even Kiyoshi would probably not be too happy about it. Further, if she did kill the man, Taiga would almost certainly feel responsible for putting him in that position, which was not something she wanted to inflict on the girl. Plus, Taiga didn't seem aware that she was unaffected, and it was probably in her interests for that to continue to be the case. So, she decided to play along, changing back into her normal clothes and dismissing her weapons.

Now that the battle was over, though, she had questions to ask of the man. Specifically, why the hell he was carrying an unconscious girl over his shoulder who he seemingly wanted to protect, and why he had attacked her whilst he was.

"OK, idiot, can you please explain why you're carrying an unconscious girl over your shoulder, and why the hell you thought it was a good idea to attack me whilst doing so?"

Then, Rider looked more closely.

Isa? she thought, remembering the sweet young girl from earlier. And, she looked hurt, too.

Rider remembered how kind and sweet the girl had been, and felt angry to see her like this. She knew she couldn't trust this asshole to look after the girl, particularly since he was likely responsible for the situation she was in in the first place.

"What did you do to Isa?", she said, angrily.

"Of course I'll help.  I have experience at playing the hero," Archer replied, "Besides, if I can keep you out of trouble Rin all the better."
Rin smiled a bit at that, though she wasn't entirely sure why. Perhaps it was the old memories surging back. Either way, she was glad to have the bowman tagging along, darkened or not. Though, she had to wonder... what would happen when the two selves met? She put it to the back of her mind though, as that wasn't their current concern.
Quote
Lancer nodded and said, "Well, then its settled."  He looked at Ruu and asked, "Can you watch the fort while we're gone?"
"It will wait here." He said obediently.
Lancer ruffled Ruu's hair in response. "That's a good lad.  Forest has medical supplies in the WC on the floor so I'll need you to get them out and have them ready.  There maybe others injured if she's having issues."

He gave the group marching orders, despite seeming to feel a bit uncomfortable in doing so, before tossing a set of car keys to Finn, which the young man caught with little trouble. "Let's go people," said Lancer, leading the group towards the garage.

Finn ruffled Ruu's hair before waving goodbye to little familiar before he followed the rest. "See you later, little guy. Have fun while we're gone, and thanks for earlier!"

Rin shouted back her own goodbye. "Kitty should be back soon! Be good!"

Finn hadn't looked all that well when they'd walked through the garage earlier, but he couldn't help but whistle as he looked at the selection of vehicles.

Mille looked suspiciously at her brother. "You heard the part where Lancer said not to wreck the car didn't you? You sure you can do that?"

Finn grinned. "With no problems. I've gotten pretty good behind the wheel. Done enough jobs where I've had to make a quick getaway from the bad guys that a car feels like a second pair of legs to me."

"That's not what I saw last time I watched you drive a car."

Finn casually put his hands behind his head. "Heh, to give me some credit, I was thirteen then. I've gotten a lot better since then. But boy were those good times. Was even worth the grounding mom and dad gave me." He turned to Lancer. "Don't let my sister scare you. Like I said, I've gotten quite a bit better since those days. The car shouldn't even get a scratch. Speaking of which, which of these fine beauties do these car keys belong to?"

---
Archer found himself to be quite satisfied with his results. The vampires that had Hruntings aimed at them had already fallen victim to them, and it turned out his shinai arrows worked to great effect on these particular vampires. Not a single one had been able to touch Hakuno.

Below, however, the conflict wasn't over. Shirou and Forest were continuing to fight vampires below. Forest herself was busy draining a girl of particular magical origins below, while Shirou seemed entirely focused on taking down the crime lord's femme fatale of a vampire accomplice after dealing with his own vampires. That left it up to Archer to clean up the rest and keep them off of Forest's back. Shirou he didn't care so much about, but Forest was their landlady now, and Hakuno would likely hound him for it if they just left her.

Shouldn't be much of a problem, now that I have a better idea of their weaknesses. Archer turned to Hakuno. "I'm going to get a little closer so I can get a better shot at those vampires. I'm going to take you with me, but you have to promise me that you'll continue to do as I tell you. Understand?"

Hakuno didn't entirely like him bossing her around, but in this case, it was a pretty good idea, especially since there wasn't much she could do to fight back just yet. She nodded.

With that, Archer scooped her up and jumped to a rooftop closer to the action. Normally he would have jumped down and engaged them directly, but his top priority was still Hakuno's safety, so he decided to take them on at a distance to keep her out of harm's way. If things got especially bad for Forest, he could switch tactics, but for now there seemed to be little harm in taking a more cautious approach.

He continued to create shinai arrows to shoot at the vampires, striking them in the heart, one by one. So far, so good. If things continued to go this well, then they might make it out of this with little trouble.

***
Ruby continued to watch the battle happening below, wishing she was able to eat popcorn in her current state. She wasn't going to intervene just yet, as it didn't seem things were going too terribly so far, even with the number of vampires there had been before. Ruby patiently bided her time, waiting for the opportune moment to strike...

The familiar stayed in the kitchen for a bit, looking at the strange magnets on the fridge. When his contemplation finished, Ruu didn't wait an instant and walked through the first floor, unable to resist his curiosity. The whole place was clean and tidy but did give him the feeling of emptiness. Probably because the place was rather big. He did as he had been asked and brought the medical supplies to the location that looked like a dinner room.

Once done with his task, he decided to take a shower. He cleaned himself up and changed clothes for the set he had in his backpack. Getting rid of the used and tattered ones and throwing them outside in a metal trashcan. When he came back in the dinner room, he fumbled in his belongings and found the grimoire of his long lost Master. He opened it where he left the bookmark and started to read. He didn't understand what was written on it, although he could make sense of runes, complex formulas and unknown written languages used inside were an enigma for him. Yet, he had been doing so ever since his Master stopped. The familiar sat down on a couch and read silently, feeling reminiscent emotions imprinted on the book, a sensation akin to warmth built up inside him and he fell asleep without a word, book still open on his lap.

Olga threw Shirou an irritated glance. The magus was better than expected. He even had weapons able to stab your shadow for immobilization. However, as impressive as it could be, he was a pain in the ass. "I told you all I know about it, the mixed blood took her with him. There, can you release me now? Or do you intend to kill someone who never wronged you?" Although nervous, her gaze was defiant.

Shirou had her fate in his own hands.

Isiel kept her eyes on Forest as the vampire fed on her. Although her body strongly reacted as expected from your suggestion and blood drain, her face never showed a significant change. Was she strong mentally or something else? You would never know.

With what looked like an immense effort, the Fae triggered another spell of fire but without a care in her own security. You could feel her blood heating up as her body became the catalyst for her imminent attack. It became crystal clear upon reading her mind. As you realize the intent, you can't help but feel shocked. Why would she go that far? The only answer you get from her besides that inexpressive stare is a bitter thought.

I failed, Master.

Will you manage to avoid it? You can only give it your best shot. An instant later, the area exploded in a spectacular way.

That's none of your damn business, as... moron. Now, leave us alone!

Eyepatch wasn't in the best mood apparently. Shuya Smirked at that but didn't have time to look away, the boy already charging him.

Quote
My name is Emiya Kiyoshi, and I want to be a hero like my father.

When he heard that, Shuya stopped completely.

A hero, huh?

A memory flashed up in his mind and the mixed blood looked at the boy with a stern expression.

Quote
Now, leave my Aunt alone before I make you!

Smiling awkwardly, the swordsman nodded to the kid.

"Sure, I'll take my leave."

He took a step back, about to take off, but imperious words were released.

Quote
stop fighting right now!

He tried to resist the command but found himself unable to move after a few meters. He focused his attention on the girl in a wheelchair, her eyes shining.

Mystic Eyes?

Shuya smiled for himself.

"You got yourself some interesting kids, Eyepatch." He said with calm.

Shuya could have gotten away with an Inversion but he doubted he could control himself and spare the kids. He had the feeling Rider could still move and expected a backstab, but it never came. Instead she bombarded him with words.

Quote
OK, idiot, can you please explain why you're carrying an unconscious girl over your shoulder, and why the hell you thought it was a good idea to attack me whilst doing so?

"Name's Shuya, by the way. Not idiot or moron."

The answers you wanted following.

"Looking for someone to take care of her. Attacked 'cause I needed to check if you got back some prana. Thought I could let you have the girl if you did, you didn't. Chances you'd get prana off of her were too high. Was about to leave before being stopped by the girl."

He paused an instant to see if she had anything else to ask.

Quote
What did you do to Isa?

He frowned at that.

"It's not a conversation for the youngsters to hear. I could tell you that I'm not the one who hurt her, but I suppose you wouldn't trust a word about it." His tone was awfully calm, now that you paid attention to it. "Know what? Lead me to the vampire and I'll explain on the way. Even willing to let you carry my katana." He suggested seriously. "What you say?"

 "I told you all I know about it, the mixed blood took her with him. There, can you release me now? Or do you intend to kill someone who never wronged you" Olga said defiantly, even though she was at his mercy.

Shirou grip on Durandal's hilt tensed, as he seriously considered her words. As a vampire, the woman was undoubtedly a danger to the populace, a ticking time bomb. Unlike what he knew of Forest, he was certain that Olga didn't really care about human life, and would have no qualms feeding on the populace if she needed to. Not to mention she worked for someone who so far seems shady, and willing to cut off an innocent person's arm on the off chance that it would fool him. He couldn't care less if she had crossed him, but...she had a point. There was no evidence that she had hurt anyone. Only that she could, possibly on a large scale.

Sacrifice the few to save the many, that was what he had pledged on that day. No matter how important they were to him. No matter how significant they were.
"I pity you Shirou"

Illya's voice echoed in his head, the disappointment in her red eyes flashing before his very own eyes. Shirou mentally cursed Rider for stirring up old memories, even as he prepared to thrust Durandal into the vampire's body, angling the weapon so that it would only take a small push for the tip to penetrate into her heart. He would be a hero, to do what had to be done to protect people, to sacrifice what had to be sacrificed for the greater good, even if he lost more of himself with each act. That was his conviction after that day.

"you can regain what you lost"

Shirou froze. Those simple words seemed to echo in his head, sapping the strength from his arms. No! He had to persist!

think with your heart before logic

Would he regret his choice?

With a sigh, Shirou knocked away the Keys, returning his attention to the remaining vampires, vampires who were actually attacking people and thus were fair game to his acting-up conscience.

"Get out of here. You better hope I don't catch you again," he said, backing away. He quickly shot two vampires who were getting close to Forest's location, cursing slightly as he realised how low his prana levels were. He had been too lax with it tonight, trying to keep up with all the Servant-level beings that were popping up. He charged over to the downed vampires, skewered one through the heart with the Black Keys he had already Traced out, and decapitated the other with Durandal. This fight would have to end soon.
