[Saber should have seen it coming, but he barely dodges and he gains a large wound from his side (his Instinct is not as well honed as say another one from the class...)
He grimaces, but he stands his ground and backs off. Ai is relieved at first, seeing that Lancer delivered the first blow. But then Saber's eyes light up in determination and he shouts:]
UN!!
[Ai Thao blinks in confusion wondering what he could be shouting for...
The boy hears his Servant's call; he's injured and that shout was his signal. He closes his eyes and concentrates with all his might.]
Saber... I command you to draw your second blade... Then outmatch Lancer's speed and strike back!
[There's no way to miss that surge of prana that comes from the release of the spell. Ai gasps as her fear is realized and Saber grins despite the forceful compulsion he feels and the blood that drips from his side.]
As you wish Master.
[The second the blade is drawn, Saber has already rushed past Lancer. Rather than lightning, it was more akin to the speed of light. The command was as good as executed and Saber takes a beat before turning to see the results of his endeavor.]
