We're gonna be kiIIed... If I don't stop him, we'II die.
Not just me...
A weapon... I want a powerfuI weapon.
I shaII use this girI as my human sacrifice to caII forth the GraiI.
If you wish to take her back, come to my tempIe!
So, this is the end...
What are you doing out here?
It was raining that day, too, wasn't it?
Can you drink this?
Can you teII me what brings you here?
If I've caused you troubIe, feeI free to Ieave.
If you teII me to forget I ever saw you, I'II forget you.
Go out that door and waIk straight ahead, and it wiII take you outside.
FeeI free to do as you pIease.
PIease, wait.
Yes, what?
Your umbreIIa--
Do I need one?
I suppose not.

Episode 18: Decisive BattIe
Her ''tempIe,'' huh?
This is the onIy pIace that makes sense.
Sakura...
It's okay, she's fine.
You can sense it?
Caster said it herseIf, right? She's going to sacrifice her.
She won't simpIy kiII her the first chance she gets.
But why did Caster abduct Sakura in the first pIace?
I was under the impression that Sakura had no abiIities as a Magus.
But she DOES have magic circuits.
After aII, she's from a Iong Iine of Magi, too...
We don't have time to stand around.
If she's going to be Caster's sacrifice, she's as good as dead if we don't do something.
Rin, what is it?
This way!
Hey, what's gotten into you?
Be quiet.
Abzug Bedienung, MitteIstand...
What's that?!
It's another tempIe... Isn't it, Rin?
I smeII bIood...
So, they're here?
Yes.
Doesn't it feeI wonderfuI?
The HoIy GraiI desires you.
On your feet.
Oh, good grief... She puIIed out aII the stops, didn't she?
So, this is Caster's tempIe?
How in the worId did she make this?
Magic.
Magic?
Yes. She used the mana she's stored up to create aII this.
That's Medea the witch for you... She doesn't do anything by haIves.
Here they come!
I guess this means we have to wade through the cannon fodder first...
If we stop moving, they'II surround us. I suggest we rush them and don't stop.
Got it.
Ein Korper ist ein Korper!
They seem to be rather fIustered, don't they?
What wouId you have me do?
When it comes to the HoIy GraiI, I know nothing.
I wiII foIIow your directions.
Very weII. In that case, might I offer a suggestion, Master?
Get out of my way!
We're not getting anywhere this way!
Saber! Above you!
I foIIow you, Rin!
Come on! Quit dawdIing, and Iet's go!
Right...
Shirou!
Someone's here?
Where is he?
You needn't worry.
I wouIdn't dream of doing something so dishonorabIe as striking without warning.
Assassin...
Why are you surprised? You shouId know fuII weII that I am the gatekeeper here.
Abide, miss.
You are invisibIe to me.
What are you taIking about?
My duty here is to eIiminate Servants.
I intend to face Saber, the most capabIe of aII Servants.
SureIy it wouId be no fauIt of my own if a human or two were to sIip past me.
Shirou! Rin! Go on ahead!
Saber...
Let's go, Shirou!
Saber...
Understood.
You have my gratitude.
Oh, there is no need to thank me.
I mereIy wish to enjoy my fight with you for as Iong as possibIe.
There is a Iimit to the mana possessed by this body of mine,
...which was summoned by a Servant.
It is IikeIy that it wiII not even Iast untiI morning.
Assassin...
However, it has Iasted Iong enough.
I wiII be abIe to cross swords with you here... TruIy, I am a Iucky man!
We stiII have farther to go?
I don't beIieve it!
Sakura...
Sakura!
Tohsaka!
Shirou, you--
NiceIy bIocked. You seem accustomed to being ambushed.
Shirou, stand back!
Don't be stupid!
Hurry and go to Sakura!
Shirou... Are you trying to pIay the hero here?
Maybe I am.
It doesn't suit you.
Such pure, unsuIIied swordpIay... I expected nothing Iess from the greatest Servant!
I couId say the same about you!
I can't remember when I Iast encountered such serene technique.
''Kojiro,'' you said your name was?
PIease, caII me Assassin. It's a pseudonym, anyway.
A pseudonym?
Indeed. The man named Kojiro Sasaki does not exist.
He forged his past, and is a master swordsman onIy in peopIe's memories.
Then you are a fictionaI Epic Hero?
Yes. I have no pIace to return to, nor any wishes I desire granted.
I am but a nameIess swordsman who was given the name Kojiro Sasaki!
And so... this battIe, THIS is what I wish for!
On the contrary, it is YOU who are the inscrutabIe one here.
What did you hope to gain by joining this fight?
For what reason do you take up your sword?
What I want...
What I wish for is--
My wish is--
Sakura...
Caster! Show yourseIf! I know that you're here!
Yes, I am right behind you.
WeIcome. Your precious Sakura has been eagerIy awaiting you.
So, it Iooks Iike you know everything about aII of us.
Yes. I took the Iiberty of rummaging through the girI's head.
You seem to be operating under a faIse impression, young Iady.
I have no intention of fighting you.
If you wish to take her away, feeI free to do so.
Of course, I don't know if this girI wishes to go or not.
The person you have been waiting for aII this time has finaIIy come.
Sakura?
I don't have much choice... This might hurt a IittIe.
Set!
Los! Zweihander!
If you don't hurry, she wiII be drained dry of mana by the HoIy GraiI.
Sakura!
Tohsaka!
Why did you become a Master?
You're not a Magus, and you're not interested in the HoIy GraiI!
Good question.
For the same reason you did, I suppose.
I'm nothing Iike you!
We're the same. You and I, we both have no wish of our own.
You're wrong! You and I are nothing aIike!
You appear to be out of time, young Iady.
Sechs! Ein FIuB! Ein HaIt!
Sakura!
If I don't do something, the HoIy GraiI is reaIIy going to--
To a Magus... To a Magus, what's most important isn't their Iife.
What they have to protect is the sanctity of their souI!
You were born into a famiIy of Magi, so you shouId understand this.
Es IaBt frei! EiIesaIve!
Sakura...
Sakura... Matou?
Yes! Sakura Matou.
Sakura!
Sakura, I'm not going to go easy on you.
WeItende!
I'm sorry... Sakura, I'm so sorry.
I'm sorry for Ieaving you on your own.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry...
I guess I'm a weakIing, too...
I went easy on you, anyway.
I swear... I can't get on Shirou's case for stuff Iike this now.
Sakura...
Forget everything. The bad dream is over now.
It's okay.
For my human sacrifice, I onIy require one Magus with magic circuits, young Iady.
