Einzbern Forest : Saber vs Berserker

Illya grins as she sees the black servant, Saber, intruding her territory. "Saber, huh? So you think you can just waltz into my forest? Think again." Saber turns to face the disembodied voice echoing through the forest. "But don't worry Saber. I've made sure to send you some company." Illya says as Berserker's gigantic blade crashes down, nicking Saber's armor before disappearing again. 'Have fuuun~' Illya sings as Saber looks around.

The brute Berserker is nowhere to be found. Saber looks around with her sword at the ready. A gigantic fist swings down, nearly crushing Saber as she barely scampers out of the way. "What's the matter Berserker? Afraid of a little old girl?" Shinji grins and taunts from afar.

If there's one thing about Berserker, it's that he doesn't take any crap from no one. *Grunt!* Berserker's voice screams through the forest as his gigantic stone sword swings to cleave Shinji in twain. *CLANG* Saber's black sword barely beats Berserker to deflect the killing blow by a fraction of a second.

Shinji grins, "Aww, too bad. You were so close. Now kill him, Saber. And do try to be faster next time, hmm?" Shinji asks with an air of arrogance. The behemoth Berserker roars in anger at Shinji's further taunting. Saber simply glances back at him without a word. She moves in with her black sword, but it's obvious Berserker has the strength and size advantage as he overpowers Saber.

Saber is no slouch though. She has both speed, experience, technique, and the Sword to her advantage. And she uses them all. Slowly Saber begins to chip away slivers of Berserker's massive health reserves as the duo tango in their fight. Both swing with the intent to kill.

Berserker falls first as his rage towards Shinji destracts him from the fight. Berserker seeths with newfound rage as the smoke clears from around him. "Oh, you want some more ? Kill him again!" Shinji cackles as Saber strikes Berserker once again with her unholy sword... Only to have it deflect straight off Berserker's thick skin.

Shinji gasps, "Saber, what are you doing??" Shinji's lecturing is just enough for Berserker to grab Saber into his massive hands and begin to crush her. Saber screams in pain as the life **** drains from her body, the crunching of armor inbetween Berserker's mighty fist.

"No no no no! You can't lose! You're going to make me look bad!" Shinji screams as Saber continues to be choked and crushed by Berserker. Saber desperately tries to struggle but that only causes Berserker's grip to tighten, like a python. "Saber, use your Excalibur!" Shinji focuses on his book as a command seal burns away.

With an impressive feat of strength Saber begins loosening up a single finger. Berserker looks on as his index finger shivers and quakes. Strength against a command seal. Berserker exerts all his strength into finishing off Saber for good.

A sickening crunch is heard from Berserker's fist as he continues crushing Saber in his iron grip. Saber's black blade appears from between Berserker's fingers, followed by Saber's arm. It raises up, collecting power. "Crush THIS, Berserker!" Shinji grins. "EXCALIBUR!" Saber exclaims, blasting Berserker straight in the face.

Saber is finally free, but obviously exhausted from the ordeal. She begins walking past Shinji and out of the forest while Berserker is still out of commission. Shinji begins to protest but is met with a heavy black gauntlet against his mouth and is carried out of the forest as Saber makes her retreat.
