A glimpse into madness

Berserker and Illya ascend the stairs without further interruption. At the top of the stairs stands Caster, encircled in magic runes. Berserker growls and stands his ground, away from Caster and her barrier. "Hu, hu, hu.. You were wise to stay Berserker's hand, Illyasviel von Einzbern."

Illya looks on at Caster with a glare. "Drop the pleasantries, Caster. We're here to take you down." Caster's lips twist up into a sadistic grin. "Whoever said we haven't began already?" A flash of Caster's teeth and magical lances shoot out from Caster like a speeding bullet.

Berserker raises his gigantic stone sword to deflect the incoming onslaught. "Berserker!" Illya exclaims as she sees the smoke from multiple magical explosions surrounding Berserker. "Now that's finished, there's the little matter of taking care of you and your little friend Shirou." Caster grins as she turns her gaze towards Illya.

Illya also returns Caster's grin as Berserker's glowing red eye pierces the smoke. "It's going to take a lot more than that to hurt MY Berserker." She quickly chants a dispellation spell against Caster, shattering her runic protection circle. "Kill her."

Free at last to unleash his rage against Caster, Berserker swings his massive blade in for the kill. "Graaaah!" Berserker roars in anger as the duo finally begin their fight in earnest.
