'Caster!' You call out mentally as the furious Ibaraki begins to slowly walk towards you. It's a good thing that you're so close to Shuten, otherwise she absolutely already would have killed you. You aren't going to claim you have some supernatural ability to detect killing intent or something, but even though you can barely make out Berserker's figure through that all-consuming flame surrounding her. 'Teleport yourself and Betty to me immediately! Betty will distract Berserker while you use your Noble Phantasm on Assassin!' You wonder just why you feel that shouting through a mental link with unlimited range is going to be helpful, but then again, in a situation like this, it's impossible for even somebody like you to remain perfectly calm. Certain death is approaching you slowly but surely, intent on punishing you for your act against the woman who quite literally put herself in this position, Shuten is shivering on the floor by your feet in pain from the poison.

You don't receive a response from Caster, and for a very brief moment you consider the possibility that she may not have been able to hear you or hasn't been paying attention. Of course, that belief is thankfully shattered less than half a second later, as Caster appears in a flash of purple light with the sleeping Betty right next to her, slowly floating downwards. There's a silent understanding now as to just what everyone is expected to do, and Ibaraki thankfully hasn't been spurred into action by the sudden appearance of two additional Servants to the fray.
