"Then thou should have convinced the Godslayer to kill him, then and there! There was no need for thou to fight the Devil. Thou hast risked thou's friend's chance to end her forced marriage by agreeing to this fight instead!" she growled before dropping him to the ground.
"I know but…" trailed off the teen.
"But…" prompted the huntress.
Issei just got up from ground as he stared at Atalanta with a fierce expression on his face, "people like that, that just treat others as nothing more than toys piss me off. I guess I just wanted to deal with him myself, to punish him for his attitude."
The huntress was silent as she locked her gaze with his, silently judging him before she finally nodded, "I see…very well I shall give thee assistance in this endeavor."
"Um…no offence Atalanta but I think it would be best if I used Lancer's or Caster's help, since I'm meant to be his descendant and they're the cards that I have the most experience at using," stated Issei.
"Hah, take that thieving Neko!" cheered Tamamo.
"Boy, cease speaking, else I shall cut out thou's tongue," snarled the huntress, instantly shutting the human up.
Seeing this Atalanta then nodded before she grabbed him again by his shirt and started dragging him away towards the Archer doorway. "Good now come, we have much work to do," informed the huntress.
Tamamo started to follow in concern, "hey wait, he's not ready yet!"
However she was stopped by Lancer whom grabbed her by the shoulder and shook his head, "this isn't our fight Caster, let them go. She needs this just as much as him, besides we still have her to worry about."
Tamamo sighed as they both turned to the sealed Saber doorway, numerous Celtic Runes and Shinto Talismans decorating the passage. "True, I thought Berserker would be the one we'd have to worry about, who could have guessed Saber would be the one that we'd have to seal back up," she said with a shake of her head.
"Honestly, how can she have that much hatred over a single name. At least we managed to lock her back up before she did any lasting damage," commented the fox girl.
"Let's hope she doesn't get another wakeup call like that, I doubt she'll fall for the same trick as last time. I don't think we'll be able to put her back sleep next time she awakens," frowned Lancer, getting a nod from both Ddraig and Tamamo.
[Indeed.]
"If what Atalanta said was true and if she's anything like her father…then we got lucky stopping her when we did," muttered Sétanta as they all stared at the Saber doorway with concern.
"Atalanta where are we going?" questioned Issei as he struggled to break the huntress' grip on his shirt.
"Those two may be happy to let thou use their powers and accepted thou as their master but I have not! If thou wants to use my full power then first thou must pass my test," growled Atalanta as she finally dropped the teen to the ground.
Issei just rubbed his sore neck as he got to his feet and gasped as he found them both in a deep forest, the sun shining down on the pair through the tree canopy as numerous animals began calling in the distance. Glancing behind him Issei saw the other end of the doorway he came through carved into the mountain side like a cave entrance and frowned as he spotted a dragon instead of the archer symbol above it.
Hearing the huntress moving Issei then leapt to his feet and he followed after her as the two went deeper into the forest, "test? Full power? Why not just let me use it now and save us some time?"
Atalanta just glanced at him in annoyance, "hast thou not heard anything! Never mind we've arrived."
Upon hearing this the duo emerged from the forest and into a nearby coastline, causing Issei's eyes to widened as he spotted the ancient remains of a race course. "A footrace? That's the test?" blinked Issei.
"Of course, was it not obvious?" questioned the huntress.
"Well…I can't exactly argue with that," admitted Issei with a sigh.
"Good, now get ready," ordered Atalanta as she moved to the starting line.
"What? You can't be serious here! There's no way I can win," exclaimed the teen.
"If thou truly believes as such, then thou has already lost," replied the cat girl with a frown.
"Alright, I suppose you have a point there. Might as well give it a try," sighed Issei, shaking his head as he moved to the adjacent lane.
"No, do or do not. There is no try," lectured Atalanta.
"What does that even mean?" questioned the teen in confusion.
"It means cease this incessant whining get thyself ready!" commanded the huntress and Issei sighed again before getting into a ready position.
There was a brief pause before the two runners sprinted off the starting line and as he looked back Issei was amazed to see Atalanta far behind him. 'I'm winning!' thought the teen eagerly, only for a memory to reappear in his head.
Atalanta was often fond of letting her opposing racers get a head start in her footraces before overtaking them and winning. In fact, some even believed that as long as she let her opponents move first, she could predict the outcome and change it in her favour…
"CRAP!" shouted the teen as he once again looked behind him and spotted the Chaste Huntress rapidly closing the distance between them. As panic began to fill his mind the teen saw Atalanta running alongside him and glance at the teen before a sudden image filled his mind.
"So you have come back my wayward daughter," said an old man, sitting upon his throne.
"Thou has no right to call me that after what thou hast done," growled the familiar green clad girl, the cat ears and tail noticeably absent.
