I think, therefore I meeeeo-am.

RENEGADE INTERRUPT

[Mike1984]

Wait, why would Shirou want to help Caster in this scenerio? I mean, she DID just pull a bodysnatch on someone whom he basically classifies as family- not to mention, couldn't he just use a command spell to deal with her (ie: "Caster GTFO of Sakura")

The fact that she has Sakura in her control, for one thing, and Caster has little other choice at this point. Plus, Sakura was at least partially responsible for what happened.

It'll be part of Shirou's bargaining. He'll let himself get used for the sake of Sakura having more control.

I won't push her away, no worries. I like the girl.

Ah, I see. That makes sense, I guess.

He's still got the fundamental problem that Caster is taking Sakura's body into the middle of the Grail War, though. If you thought that Shirou was bad with Saber, you've not seen anything yet....

Also, what about Rin? I can't imagine her liking the idea of killing her sister....

forumghost: You come up with a compelling argument. Shirou could force her out, but would he kill Medea since she proved she had an equally shitty set up?

Hm...

Probably, now that I think about it. Sakura is family.

But I really like that last line, it's a strong finisher.

He wouldn't want to kill her, but there's no way he'd be willing to allow her to use Sakura's body, especially not if she intends to endanger her in any way, or to threaten her. And, like forumghost pointed out, he does have command spells....

As if Medea would expose herself to frontline combat anyway.

[VelspertheCat]

You are a wonderful man.

[TetsuoS2]

Though she immediately gets Armor+ against Archer.

[Techlet]

You are a wonderful man.

I promise a better version when I get home. Have only access to the most basic tools on the laptop.

[Mike1984]

Well, true, but she's still a target. As a servant, people have to kill her to win the war.

[Theocrass]

I'm not sure I completely understood everything that happened ... but hell yeah!

Go Velsper!

[Aiden]

Well, true, but she's still a target. As a servant, people have to kill her to win the war.

And how would they know she is one, if she's in a physical body?

Sakura doubles as awesome camo.

Which part is confusing? I can expand on it. This hasn't hit FF.net yet.

Everything you write tends to be confusing. This isn't flowchart territory yet; try to keep it that way.

[forumghost]

Gotcha, that makes sense... and yeah, Sakura was kinda asking for it- I mean "lets attack a servant, what could go wrong?" Not her brightest moment.

Still kinda worried about how everyones gonna act though, I mean, i can quite easily see both Zouken AND Rin going for Shirou's head when they find out, and a nerfed Caster aint got a hope in hell of besting any of the other servants. I mean, even given all the Mana she'd collected, and placing herself in a fortified position, she STILL goes down hard most of the time...

Though I guess once Shirou gets his Projection sorted, + Caster Reinforcement, he'd basically be at Archer's level, combat wise...

[VelspertheCat]

Well, that's why I'd like it if people pointed out what parts I should expand on.

[Theocrass]

I didn't exactly follow everything that happened near the end, but after rereading it I understood better!

[VelspertheCat]

Okay, so emphasize Sakura's absorption trait again in the end.

Gotcha.

[Mike1984]

And how would they know she is one, if she's in a physical body?

Sakura doubles as awesome camo.

Well, the high-level magic she's spamming would be a bit of a hint, probably....

But, yeah, I do wonder if anyone could find out that Caster is really inside Sakura.

Well, that's why I'd like it if people pointed out what parts I should expand on.

Well, why Sakura randomly attacked Caster for no reason and why Shirou didn't just command-spell Caster to leave Sakura would be a good start....

[Aiden]

Depending on how things proceed, she may not have cause to use any combat magic for quite some time.

Acting through proxies and indirect methods makes it much harder to be tracked down.

[VelspertheCat]

Sakura attacking I think I got covered already. I really don't think that part was weak. And if Medea leaves she dies. She was already vanishing when it was all said and done. She's gotta stay in Sakura or well...the story doesn't work.

This is a good point....hrmm. If Medea could work up her reserves inside Sakura she could safely leave, but....

Okay: idea. Any prana Shirou manages to give Medea is omnomnomed by the worms. Or the tainted grail shards. Medea has access to some rather formidable amounts of prana, but does not have any to call her own. So unless Shirou can produce prana directly, she can't safely leave.

And then, if Shirou does open his circuits, something else happens that locks Medea in Sakura's body. For some reason.

....Maybe having the benefit of corporeal flesh/Sakura's body gives Medea resistance to Command Seals? This is kinda far out of left field, but eh.
