"[line3]Please, come."
I murmur as if praying.
I don't care about my life.
But only to stop the cause of this....
"No[line2]I order you to come, SABER!!!!"
With all my might, I call for my sword.
A Command Spell disappears.
And at the same moment, a winding occurs in space.
It must have been sorcery.
Because Saber in her silver armor shoots forth from it, as if breaking through the ripple in space.
"Gah...!"
I fall to the ground on my back.
"Ah[line2]ha, ah...!"
My breath stops.
My organs will explode from the impact.
A few of my ribs must have broken or at least cracked.
"Ah[line2]"
But still.
My body did not break apart, and my bloody arms are still attached.
"Shirou...!"
...Saber runs toward me.
Forcing my numb arms and legs, I manage to stand up to show her I'm all right.
"I don't have time to explain. You know the situation, right Saber?"
"Hold on Shirou. I understand, but first, your body needs to[line2]"
"Please go get Rider. Only you can beat her."
"No, your treatment comes first. You will die like this."
"[line2]That's wrong. There's something that needs to be done before that."
Forget about me, as we have to beat Shinji and Rider as quickly as possible.
Nothing takes priority over that.
"But that's..."
Saber is stubbornly worried about my body.
...I would be lying if I said I wasn't happy about it.
But we don't have time to argue.
If Saber doesn't want to, I'll just have to use my second Command Spell.
"...!"
My determination must have got through to her.
Saber accepts my decision.
"I understand. Please give me an order, Master."
"Defeat Rider. I'll get Shinji."
There's no hesitation in Saber now.
She nods silently and runs to the school building like the wind.
