Shirō and Saber traverse the town in an unsuccessful attempt to locate Shinji and Rider. The conflict escalates when Saber engages Rider in battle. Her initial strategy relies on defending herself until Rider becomes vulnerable, but this plan fails when Shirō unexpectedly appears on the roof. Consequently, Saber is compelled to activate her Noble Phantasm, Excalibur, to secure victory over Rider. Following the intense exchange, Saber collapses due to the exertion of using Excalibur. Shirō then carries her back to safety after the confrontation concludes.
