Orion after getting some basic information from the little kid understands the situation.
Apparently, caster was and his master was a psychopath. Kidnapping children and others just to kill them for their enjoyment.
"Sick bastards." Orion eyes twitch.
'But now I have to save those kids first. By now that guy must have seen that someone had removed his spell. Meaning he will either go after me or those children if no one has already gotten to him.
In the story Saber and Lancer did, I at least remember that but can't say what will happen here.' Orion thought as he started to form a plan of action.
'Alright, first Priority are those kids.' Orion nodded as he dashed towards the place he sensed magic.'
.
.
.
Saber was in the Emiya mansion, she wanted to go after Caster, it was her who he was doing all this for in the first place but she couldn't just leave her master alone, especially when Kiritsugu was injured.
Though his wound was healing much faster thanks to the potion Orion gave him he was still unconscious.
Currently, Iris was by Kiritsugu's side was Saber was standing on the balcony, contemplating her situation.
The knight in her wanted to aid those children but her other duties stopped her.
Just as she was contemplating this situation, something suddenly happened.
The entire manor kind of shook making others almost toppled of. Saber regained her balance quickly but her face was not looking good.
As soon as she turned around to rush to Iris and Emiya's side she came face to face against Lancer.
"Let's end our battle, Saber," Lancer said as he took his weapon in his hands, ready to fight.
This made Artoria purse his lips. She too wanted to end their fight but before that, she has a duty to save her master.
But leaving a fight behind goes against her knighthood. She is also a king, she also has her own pride.
And it's not like Lancer will let her go that easily. It was clear to her that it was Lancer's master who planned this.
Having no other way, Saber had to take out her sword to fight.
Now the only way to save both Iris and Kiritsugu was to defeat Lancer.
.
.
.
Kayneth knew that Kiritsugu Emiya was currently unconscious. That is why he planned this assassination.
In the anime, it was Emiya who first started to fight with Kayneth to kill him but here the situation was different.
Kayneth solely targeted Emiya just becuase he was a weak target.
Not only he was currently unconscious but even Saber was injured by Lancer's blade.
This was the best chance to Kill Emiya.
So after ordering Lancer to fight Saber, more like kill her, he himself went after Emiya Kiritsugu.
With a silver jelly-like summon of his made out of a mixture of both magic and alchemy, he cut open the gate of the Manor.
.
.
.
Iris suddenly felt a trebling in the castle before hearing the front gate blasting up.
Her eyes widen. Currently she was the only one who could protect Emiya besides Saber.
The problem was that by now Saber should have come to her and Emiya's side. Her not being here meant something or someone was keeping her occupied.
Most likely another servant.
Iris panicked, she knew magics herself but not to that extent.
Her magic wasn't that strong.
.
.
.
While this was happening, Orion found himself being followed by a servant. But this wasn't Caster.
This one was way too good to hide himself in shadows
'Assassin' he muttered slowly to himself as he felt a presence looming over him.
His magic senses were telling him that he wasn't alone.
It was just hard to figure out how many assassins were targeting him.
"Come out, there is no point hiding, I know you are there.
I have important business with the caster so if possible let's do this after I beat his ass and save those kids." Orion said, though there was no reply just as he thought.
The forest was now pretty lit up thanks to his magic and the fog was gone.
But when it comes to Assassin, it's really hard to find that guy even after the place is pretty lit up.
And it's not just one guy either, there are many assassins under that guy.
"Orion D. Ambrosius." Suddenly a sound came which made Orion perk up.
Glancing back he saw a man with black clothes and a cross on his neck walking up to him.
'Ah, this guy. I don't remember his name but he is Assasin's master. The main villain, as considered by many.'
"Yes, that's my name, and who might you be ?" Orion asked.
"Kirei Kotomine."
...
"You are the an unknown variant in this war.
I can't let any uncertainty exist in your plan." Kirei said as he took out what Orion could only say were long slender knives with shot handles, there were many in his hand and the way he was holding them, made it look like he was emitating Wolverine.
'Hmm, he isn't alone. At least four Assassins are around here.' Orion mutters as he gets ready.
"So I assume you can't delay getting your ass kicked by me ?" Orion asked as the magic started to emit from him as he got ready.
And then suddenly Kirei rush at Orion, ready to kill him.
'Hmm, I see... those assassins are more likely to deal with my own servant if he pops up out of nowhere according to this jackass here if only he knew that I got none.
So it is most likely the case that they won't make a move until a servant, which they will assume is mine will come here or their own master is in danger.
Man so annoying !'.
Orion after understanding Kirei's motive immediately took out Gryffindor's sword and blocked those claws away.
Even Kirei was shocked, his magical power made him really strong, and yet this child in front of him was able to make him stagger back.
'He is strong, not sure about magic but physically this guy ranks almost enchanted human, maybe even borderline superhuman' Orion ponders before making sure to ready infinity.
He can take care of this guy right here and now, it's pretty easy actually. Fight until he has a good understanding of his skills and then make a very convincing opening for him to take advantage of. Then infinity will do its magic.
Just as he planned the engage with Kirei in hand-to-hand combat, not use his mantis outside the enchanting his sword.
He wasn't underestimating Kirei either, having an assassin meant the guys must have a good information network, so it's most likely that he knew how he fought and he killed Berserker.
So Orion was on his guard all the time, and only after a little while though he learn what Kirei was planning, the assassin, now there were more in here than before.
Almost 10. Making him sure that Kirei Kotomine wasn't underestimating him. He planned to trap him in here, surrounded by his servants.
Using numbers on him, which kind of makes sense, he already saw that he could handle a single powerful opponent but when trapped in from all sides and surrounded by multiple opponents, Kirei's plan was good, the only problem that he still doesn't know about his infinity.
'My best guess is that this guy saw the faded command seal on my hand and connected that I still don't possess any servant, so he planned to take care of me before that even happened.
Yeah, sorry but that ain't happening.' Orion internally snorted as he kept on fighting with Kirei while holding back his magic, thought he was almost going all out when it came to physical capabilities.
He was strong, faster but Kirei was bigger with better reach and to his dismay, the bastard was more skilled than him when it came to wielding those small blades like claws than him using a sword.
.
.
.
And while this fight was taking place, Caster who was waiting for Saber to come to him all this time was both annoyed out of waiting and angry at his magic being dispelled on him.
In fact, he was livid, so angry that he didn't even care about those kids running away anymore and wen to find the person who was responsible for his spell breaking or to find Saber, whichever came first.
