Chapter 27
As Hibari was walking home, he felt someone tugging on his shirt. When he looked down, he saw Illya looking at him. He placed her feet on the ground as Illya wanted to walk herself. However, Hibari quickly turned around as he held his tonfa.
"How long are you going to keep following us?"
"Oh? And here I thought i've hidden myself well. Though, this makes things a lot easier."
"Hmph. It'll be fun tearing you apart. I'm going to bite you to death right here."
Illya looked at the man speaking to Hibari. No doubt about it, this man must be Lancer. However, Illya noticed something as Hibari and Lancer stared at each other. They both had an expression on their face showing just how battle-hungry the two were. However, the Heroic Spirit sighed as he shook his head. As this happened, Hibari was mentally communicating with Avenger.
"I'd love to go against you and that servant of yours, however, i'm on duty."
"Duty?"
"Yep. Plus I think you might enjoy it too. After all, it involves Caster, her Master, and even that Archer in red."
As Lancer said this, he saw a smile creeping upon Hibari's face. Honestly, he could tell that the boy and himself would get along well. A little too well, because just like Hibari, Lancer also craved a good fight. Seeing the two of them stare each other down, Illya coughed in her hand to gain their attention.
"Could you explain in more detail please?"
"With pleasure. My master ordered me to form a united front until Caster's little army is beaten. As for who's joining, I left that to my own personal preference. In fact, two others agreed to this."
"I'm willing to bet it was Tohsaka and Emiya."
"You got that right, Skylark (Hibari). Tonight is when we're going to strike. My role is to fight Archer, i'll also have to deal with Saber if worse comes to worse. Though keeping them occupied would be no problem."
As Lancer said this, he turned around as if to say follow him. When he started walking away, Hibari stood in silence as he looked towards Illya. Illya already knew what Hibari's choice was. Knowing this, she followed Lancer as Hibari felt a smirk forming on his face.
"You took your time, Ookami-san."
".........."
As Hibari said this, Avenger appeared by his side. He'll just have Avenger take him to where the battle will take place by having it track down Illya's scent. While he does love to fight, he hates the idea of mingling with a crowd.
"Now then.....as much as i'd love to fight the bowman, I still have a prey that needs to face judgement."
~Meanwhile~
Shirou and Rin were seen sitting at a nearby bench. When they looked forward, they saw Lancer approaching them. However, Rin was the first to notice the person that was by Lancer's side.
"Illyasviel?! What are you doing here?!"
"Lancer filled me in on the situation. Knowing him, Hibari nii-.......I mean, Hibari-san will probably show up a bit later."
Rin and Shirou were surprised to hear this. They knew how Hibari is when it comes to being in a crowd or working with others. To hear someone of his strength will be on their side was reassuring, especially since he has a servant that could rival Berserker in terms of pure power. However, one thing was on Rin's mind as she looked at Illya.
"I must ask, why are you going out of your way to help us?"
"........why am I doing this? Well....it's because someone has high respects for me. I can't go and make him seem like a liar. Besides, consider it a matter of pride."
~Meanwhile~
Archer was seen standing at the entrance of the church. While Caster and Kuzuki were inside, he stood outside to act as a guard. Considering Assassin was summoned by Caster, he was restricted to Ryuudou Temple, so he's not going to be at the church with them. However, one thing was on Archer's mind.
"Just who are you, Hibari Kyoya?"
No matter how much he thought about it, that one Master always made him question if he will achieve his goal. Everytime he clashes with Hibari, the boy always managed to surprise him or grow even more. No, it was more accurate to say he'd reveal more of his strength the more that they fought. Not to mention the Servant that he summoned. A beast that's just as strong as Berserker physically but is much faster. Just the thought alone sent chills down his spine. Though it seems he doesn't have time to dwell on that now.
"Knowing you, I was certain you would show up. Not only that, but it seems you've gained an ally."
As Archer looked ahead, he saw three individuals entering the grounds of the church. Shirou and Rin glared at him, though it didn't bother him. No, what bothered him was the third individual here, Illyasviel von Einzbern.
"You're not the type to come here without a plan, Rin. What sort of stratagem are you going to work with?
"For the time being, you're going to be dealing with me."
"I'll just keep our other acquaintances a secret for now. The look on this bastard's face will be hilarious."
"You've already made a pact with another servant after losing me? I'm taken aback. I know I have no reason to say this, but your fickleness astonishes me, Rin. Perhaps it was a good thing I broke away from you."
"You really are rotten to the core."
"Oh, does betrayal rub you the wrong way, Lancer? Considering this has nothing to do with you."
"It just pisses me off that there's servants like you, that's all!"
As Lancer held his spear, Archer projected Kanshou and Bakuya. Illya, Shirou, and Rin ran into the church just as the battle between Lancer and Archer was about to begin. While this happened, Illya had one thought.
"This will be the time you can truly let loose, Hibari!!!!"
~Meanwhile~
Hibari and Avenger are seen high up on top of a building as he was about to head to the church. As he looked down upon the ground, he began to speak to Avenger.
"The prey that escaped from us is in our sights. The territory that we stand upon will no longer have its order be disturbed. It's time Ookami-.....no, it's time Avenger."
As Hibari said this, he jumped off the building he was standing on. While this happened, Avenger howled as it followed Hibari's lead. The headless rider grabbed a hold of Hibari and had the boy sit in front of him as the wolf lands on the ground and dashed towards the church on top of the hill.
"It's time to bite them to death!"
