OST: Power Field

Zero activated his saber, the blade of light glowing bright magenta as he swung, slicing down the bullets sent his way before dash-jumping his way through the rooftops, headed for N6. Some of the bullets striking at the cracks in his armor, chipping them away bit by bit before making near the armored Spartan, breathing in as his forehead gem glowed. Zero knew N6 being distracted by the civilian is a prime chance to strike. After all, a Maverick that fights amongst itself is easy prey to the A-Class Hunter like him.

"Z-Saber." Zero muttered softly as his saber's blade turned green as he raised it in the air, "Zenkourin!(Slashing Light Ring)" He swung the blade three times, sending out 3 buzzsaws of light towards the Spartan as he landed on N6's roof, lunging at the Spartan, the blade turning yellow, cracking with lightning.

Rean and Nightmare

Rean was pleasantly surprised to see so many Masters and Servants gathering amidst this burning forest he created. Each of them made this choice, understanding the consequences of facing such strong opponents. At his side, Saber was getting increasingly irritated at how he was prevented from rampaging. However Rean promised him a soul of unparalleled purity. After all, it was well known to those in the know that Rulers were normally saints or those beloved by Alaya. So such a bounty would no doubt be a worthy addition to the many souls already contained within that demonic blade of Sabers. As for Rean himself, he was after that little Master of Rulers. Normally he wouldn't attempt to remove a piece from the board like this. However Ruler and her Master needed to be taken out. This was in the name of free will. The Command Seals granted to Ruler prevented the other Masters from making their own decisions in this war. Which was the most egregious thing to someone who valued freedom of choice like Rean.

Watching the other Servants battle one another. Rean was able to locate his target approaching in a flying boat of all things. Placing a hand on his bound arm. There was no doubt that an incredible clash was about to take place. Though Rean had to make sure it was he and Saber who came out on the other end. "You came, Ruler and Master of Ruler. I admit a forest fire was a bit much for an invitation. Yet it seemed to work in bringing you to us" said the magus, running his finger along the brim of his hat. Pulling a card from his jacket. He revealed the Seven of Wands. Invoking its powers and snapping his fingers over his head. Seven crimson rods manifested above he and Saber. These autonomous constructs were capable of blasting high-powered fireballs. Normally they'd draw their power from his mana. However in this burning forest. There was more than enough fire for them to draw. Priming each of them as they rapidly absorbed the raging flames. Rean began firing on the flying ship holding Ruler and her Master...

"Oh, so it was you guys then huh? Saber and I could guess that you're this douche's Master. Say, what happened to your arm? Are you holding some sort of mystical artifact or something?" Ruler spoke upon the arrival of the Saber duo. Allison looked at the two right as Rean pulled out a card and used it to cast a spell, summoning seven staves above the duo. "Um...Ruler?" Allison nervously called as she took a step back. "Are you still butthurt about me using a Command Spell on you, Saber? Like, c'mon, you had enough bloodshed." Ruler calmly asked right as the rods began to fire off balls of flame towards the duo. "RULER!!!" Allison cried out as she ducked, but Ruler stood still with her arm raised at the incoming fireballs.

When they hit, they caused explosions of great magnitude, but when the dark smoke clears out, it is revealed that both Ruler and Allison are okay. When she looked up, Allison saw Ruler still standing with the fireballs having stopped just before they make contact. "Ruler, you can control fire?" Allison was surprised. "I can control fire? No. This...is my Noble Phantasm." Ruler answered, even surprising Allison more. "Noble...Phantasm?" She asked. "Watch this." Ruler said as she began to twirl her fingers to combine the fireballs into a huge mass of flames. "Thanks a lot you two." She said to the Saber duo with a smug look "You just gave me some free materials to work with. And now..." She split the fireball into two medium sized ones and began a chant.

"Behold, the burning flames that forged many a weapon
A tool utilized by the master of blacksmithing
Hephaestus, god of fire, lend me your authority to forge the mightiest of weapons
FLOGES SIDIROUGIAS, craft me the most powerful tools!"

The fireballs began to morph and then materialize into a pair of gigantic greatswords wielded by two iconic swordsmen in the world. It took a bit of time, but once it's finished, she held them without any difficulty despite the weight of these two swords.

Buster Sword

Dragon Slayer

"You like what you seeing now, Saber? You wield a big sword, I wield TWO of them." Ruler boasted and then she glanced back at Allison and said "Allison, go find yourself a place to hide. I'll deal with those assholes." And thus, she made her move; charging in directly at the Saber duo, leapt high in the air with her huge swords raised as she is about to slam them hard onto the two.

Ichi, Servant of Shiori
Thepotatogod ZackStop

"Tch!" The soldier in black had caused her grenade to explode early, as he charged at her from within the smoke. Ichi hesitated. Should she run off to the side or meet him head on? His gun seemed to be empty at this moment, but the fact he was charging at her gave her a sense he could take her in a fist fight.

Ichi stood her ground, preparing for the soldier to do his worst.​

 

[ZackStop]

He continued to charge at Ichi, while Zach reached the rooftop to see Zero preparing an assault while his servant had his back turned. There was chaos all around. not only was there a free for all, but not too far away was another battle commencing.

Zach swung his head around to see smoke far in the distance. The line of buildings where blocking the view, but now that he was up here it was clear. He didn't have time for that though. It was time to assist his servant. Zach quickly planted his feet on the rooftop behind all the others, simultaneously with 6 swiftly swinging the buttstock of his gun down at Ichi's face. He was willing to test her in close quarters, but this strike could prove fatal to a normal human if it landed. It would be desirable either way, but then it seemed Zero wasn't going to be patient.

6 was close to the ledge, he debated a retreat back to the ground. Taking evasive maneuvers was also an option as the 3 projectiles closed in, spinning wildly like buzz saws. His shields were nearly down, but unwilling to give up his position, so he gambled with a mighty lateral leap. Jumping high into the air, he spun around to see Zero's attack tear up the rooftop under him, but also caught Zach who made his way up. "So he shows up after all." 6 thought as his altitude began to drop.

Zach sees Zero plotting another attack as he charged forward. Zach was quick to act, weather Zero noticed him or not, he sprinted after the Maverick Hunter in hopes to stop him. Zero closed in quick but Zach was just quick enough to reach him in time to put him own plan into motion. He feels out his magic circuits as the mana pours through, he was ready to use his magic. "Deconstruct!" Though unfortunately as he reached out to break apart some of Zero's armor, Zach tripped at the sound of a great explosion in the distance, and began to fall forward. "Oh crap!" He thought to himself as he instantly realized how bad he messed up.

Out of desperation and as a means to prevent a broken jaw, Zach quickly grabbed hold of Zero's large calf to stop his fall. As his hand's wrapped around Zero's leg, the entire lower half was engulfed in a golden tinged flame, and as it did, Deconstruct began to take effect. Zach knew he could take apart the armor, the red metal falling apart and defaulting to a formless state. To Zach's surprise though, was that Zero's leg was mostly if not entirely made of the same material, as it too was being affected. While surprised, Zach also became a little fearful of the Maverick Hunter. "S-Sorry... So sorry..."

Zero snarled as his lunging assault missed, with 6 leapt onto the air. Zero gripped his sword and was going to chase after his target when he is caught mid jump, causing the red reploid to fall and smack his head onto the rooftop's ledge.

Now his systems are warning about a sudden damage to his left leg, which caused Zero to roll to his side to check the damage--and there it was--Zero's red armor, one that covered most of his dash thruster's inner workings now gone in a flash, revealing a mess of grey metal wires formed to look like the a human's leg muscles below the knee. He could still stand, but with his literal endo nearly exposed, Zero's boost is greatly nerfed.

"You..." Zero snarled, changing his free arm into a buster and aimed it at the man who grabbed his leg. Judging by the mana signature he detected--he must be someone's Master. This would lead to the fact that the only other Servant here is..."You shouldn't have done that, Maverick scum. Now I know exactly what you look like." He growled out a threat, charging a shot and fired at the Magus, but instead of hitting the mage directly, it hit the cracks formed by his buzzsaws, forcing the rooftop to give in.

Zero immediately dash jumped to the next rooftop, landing on his right leg as his left leg's exposed endo would severely damaged his escape. However, this didn't stop Zero from shooting another plasma shot at Noble 6 before jumping down onto the nearby alley to hide from any more of the gunfight.

Ichi, Servant of Shiori
Thepotatogod ZackStop

The soldier in black was over her, his gun being used as an improvised 2 handed club, being sent smashing down towards her head. Ichis' gun shrunk back to its' handgun mode, as her free hand had glowing lines appear on it and she used her hand to catch the butt of her opponents' weapon. Ichi felt her feet dig into the floor beneath her, as she gritted her teeth. Her attacker soon stopped what he was doing and he jumped into the air as Ichi found herself bombarded by 3 projectiles of energy.
"AAAAAAAAAAAA"
Ichi dropped to her knees, the front upper half of her outfit burnt away, which showed her black undergarmet that covered her chest.

She was shaking from the pain. If she didn't get out of here, she was gonna be in danger.​

 

[ZackStop]

Zach cried out as he was suddenly plunged into the building below him. With the roof collapsing, He had no choice but to tumble and prepare for the worst. A few moments past and the dust began to clear, leaving the young Magus laying there in a pile of rubble with some moonlight shining through.

He panted from the excitement of it all, not necessarily positive excitement, but with an increased heartrate and heavier breathing, he quickly ripped his face mask away from his mouth to breathe. He looked up through the hole that was made to see the damaged Maverick Hunter cast a quick shadow as he leaps away. Meanwhile, 6 landed after his leap into the air. He walked over to the hole to see Zach starting to get up from his fall. "Maybe not exactly what I look like..." He could hear his master remark as he put the mask back on. "Are you hurt?" the Spartan called how to him. Zach felt around and did some squats to make sure he was, and after a bit of careful movements, he concluded that he was mostly unharmed from the nasty fall. Aside from some cuts that is. "I guess I got lucky."

The warm hum of his shields returning promptly chimed as the systems in 312's suit caught up to the damage it had sustained. This was short lived, because before they could fully recharge, he was hit but another charged plasma shot that sent his shields into it's "DANGER" warning, to indicate that his shields have been depleted. "Damnit." He said irritably under his breath, quickly turning to pop a couple of rounds off with his DMR. Zero proved too quick to be caught by the two rounds however, but 6 was ready to pursue him. Zach reached back to the roof with a wall jump as the Spartan reloaded both of his weapons. "I'm going after him." He said looking down at Zach. "Good job damaging his leg. That will make him easier to track." B312 walked up to the edge of the building ready to jump off, the red blip hadn't moved too far. With one last turn to his master, he spoke. "While I go, you handle the girl." He tilted his head over to her before jumping down to follow Zero into the alley.

"Right..." Zach spoke under his mask, a little dumfounded and not entirely sure what 'handle' meant. Zach began to slowly walk over to the edge where Ichi was, noticing the weakened state she was in. "Uh, don't move." He said it in almost a half question, when he intended it to be more commanding sounding. He wasn't used to talking to girls, but he figured this extra layer of tension would overwrite that area of incompetence somehow. Regardless, he was hesitant to draw his weapons. She looked like she had already had enough he thought, but this was not a place to be soft. As he approached nearly 10 ft. away, he got ready to draw Exoldus and Jack-Rabbit at a moment's notice.

By the time N6 had landed, it looked as if Zero was nowhere to be seen. That, or he was hiding. And wherever he was hiding, it didn't feel like he's gotten far. At least if he uses his spiritual form. The alleyway was as dark as dreary as before. A perfect hiding spot, one would think.

Zero knew he wouldn't be able to escape the Soldier--but even then, while he heard him, he couldn't sense him. Why is that? It's almost like he wasn't a Servant despite his appearance. Even still, the Grail did warn of one class with a peculiar trait that hides their magical signature from being detected by other Servants.

An Assassin Class. All signs lead to this being the case. Which means, all he could do is catch the Assassin off guard. He transformed his arm into his Arm Cannon, waiting for the moment N6 finds him deep within the rubbish. His Z-Saber turning off, knowing its light will give him away.

Ichi, Servant of Shiori

Ichi took slow, deep breaths as she was trying to keep awake. She heard someone ask her to not move. Her vision was blurry. Who said that? Her memories were slowly fading as they flashed by.
'I.... I cant die here.... I have.... to fight for.... her....'
She retained the image of the girl she was fighting to protect. She had to keep fighting for Shiori, her crush.

Slowly, she rose up, staring at the sky, before falling back, eyes closed. It was up to fate now to decide if she would live to fight another day, or die. The look on her was a sad one. One that gave the impression she was done with this, and a look of failure.

Should 6 perhaps take her with him?​

 

[ZackStop]

Zach knew she was an enemy, whoever she was affiliated with was unclear. After what Zero did to her though, even if it was an accident, it was safe to say they were not on the same side. He quickly stepped over as she collapsed and knelt down. "Great, now what?" He asked himself, clearly out of his element. He thought for a second looking her over up and down, before deciding what to do next.

She was clearly out like a light, so he was able to take her weapons before doing anything else. Then using Deconstruction, reverted her two guns into formless parts they were comprised of when manufactured. He then sighed, looking down at her. "So... now what?" He thought, slowly pulling out his short sword. He knew he had to kill his enemies, but even if they were defenseless? He couldn't help but hesitate to make a move. He was ready to slit her throat, the blade so close to her neck that a sudden move might do her in. Ultimately though, Zach had a heart, and sheathed the blade. Even though he knew this wasn't smart, he couldn't bring him to take a life so helpless in their current state. He began to wonder if this what he was trained for, trained like the assassins that would have taken his had he not been so keen. Or perhaps they would have never gone through with it. Would his father really have him killed had he been slower? All those assassins on the grounds, was he being trained to be just like them?

All these thoughts swirled in Zach's mind as if they were always there, and the added layer of stress pulled them up. Then suddenly, they all were flushed away in an instant, so suddenly that he nearly forgot what he was stressing so much over. His desire to keep her alive didn't change though. Maybe he just wasn't ready to take a life. Instead he decided to pick her up and bring her back down to the street. Before he could do that though, he awkwardly tried to lift her without it feeling weird. "eh, uh." He reached his arms out before reconsidering and trying somewhere else. He hadn't even made contact when he finally decided that he was making this weirder than it had to be, promptly hoisting her over his shoulder. "Good thing she's unconscious..." His awkwardness gave his face that warmth brought on by embarrassment before finding a safe descent, and once down, will take her to the SUV parked in the alley way nearby. Ichi will be team Assassin's prisoner for now.

Meanwhile, in another alley, 6 landed on two feet with a heavy thump and splash from a puddle. He heard the relieving hum from inside his helmet once more. He promptly activates the night vision, and looked around with no sign of his target. "Now let's see..." He said under his breath, as a metal gun case suddenly materialized at his feet. Kneeling down to open it, the Spartan reached his back and pulled out some sort of device, before replacing it with another identical to it. The light in his back changed from a yellow hue, to one of orange as he stood up with a new firearm in his hands. He quickly closed the case and made it slide across the ground onto the sidewalk just outside of the alley way. Zero could hear his stomps leading out of the alley as well as the heavy pump from his new toy. A Shotgun.

Once at the edge of the alley, 6 turned back towards it before switching to his Assault rifle. "Okay, I'll play your game." He said, noting that he had his target on radar. Instead of firing on him outright, he decided to flushing him out. Once again, B312 pulled out the same kind of grenade from before and chucked it over the concrete, before quickly aiming down his sights as it bounced, now that Zero had nowhere to run. "Let's have some fun." Soon, the grenade will explode, and the Spartan will be ready to shoot on sight.

Hearing the footsteps, Zero knew that his hiding spot couldn't be more obvious--it's the only spot wide enough for a robot Zero's size to fit in, even in extreme circumstances. Something large, spacy, and somewhat inconspicuous enough that he'd be hidden and cushioned in a fall.

The dumpster.

Yet now, that very dumpster is definitely gonna get targeted by N6. And with that, Zero knew his Self-Repair Systems won't work if he's being followed. He'd have to convince N6 that he's dead--and it's hard to do that when one can sense when a Servant's around.

'Heh, this takes me back.' Zero couldn't help but smile. Whenever there's a fight against a Maverick, a Hunter must either kill the target, or the target escapes. And in the earliest moments of his life, he was such a target of the very first Maverick Hunters. 'I'll show you why they call me the Berserker.' Zero's gem glowed as his scanners alerted him of an explosive nearby.

"Time to let loose." Zero sighed, as the explosion sent the Dumpster flying in the air, including the lid and most of its contents flying out of onto the air. Zero temporarily went into Spirit Form to hide himself, though he knew it wouldn't hide himself for long. He had to act. He lunged towards the side of dumpster with a well timed dash to send it barreling towards N6 with him on it.



N6's Scanners would notice one magical figure seemingly flying through the shitstorm of trash and debris, and knowing he'd open fire, Zero materialized himself in the air, having jumped off of the dumpster he crashed towards N6. Fist balled.

"Man and Machine were never meant to coexist--I am living proof of that." Zero spoke, magical energies rising to it's peak, a yellow W forming on his forehead gem. "MAVERICK VIRUS!" Purple smoke spewed out of the gem on Zero's head as he punched it with full force--or if N6 shot it with a bullet, enveloping the entire area like a built in smoke bomb.

As it enveloped the area, N6 would notice the smoke's harmful effects when breathing it in. Potent, even through armor. After all, it's effective enough to infect machines specifically. The suit would begin to malfunction, not obeying its users commands, overriding and actively going against it.

"Disappear!" Zero roared as punched the ground, sending pillars of plasma rising from the ground around Zero, which spread out, spinning in a certain radius--expanding until its large enough to damage a few buildings. This was followed by a Soul Body--a Plasma Projection of Zero's likeness, dashing towards N6.

 

[ZackStop]

Perceived almost in slow motion, 6 watched as Zero came out of spirit form while riding a dumpster. He fired off a few shots at him as he flew through the air before turning and placing his back against the wall to the right of him. He avoided the large dumpster as it crashed into the street, before jumping back out to shoot at Zero even more, the bullets ripping through his armor as he soared.

Zero had something new up his sleeve, allowing himself to be damaged. Going so far as to inflict a blow to his own head, the exact thing that triggered something unexpected. "A smoke bomb." the Spartan remarked. Once again he backed away into the street, standing parallel with the exterior wall as the billow of smoke spewed out of the narrow alleyway and into the street. He avoided getting caught in this thick purple smoke that would otherwise impede his vision, but as it hovered over the ground, 6's overhead display began to glitch and flicker. Confused, he tapped the side of his helmet, but in the couldn't dwell on it too much in the heat of combat. "Maverick Virus..." he thought for a moment, before spotting Zero.

He quickly switched to his Shotgun now that his target was close range, but just a moment after getting proper aim, 6's left arm suddenly pulled away from the pump. "What the hell?" He strained against the arm trying to bend it back into place, but unknown to 312, the suit was beginning to turn against him. "Disappear!" he heard Zero shout before striking the ground. 6 quickly over powered his left arm to get a quick shotgun blast in, as a dangerous looking light show began. This was only temporary as the arm began to take hold again. He had no choice but to run as the pillars quickly broke apart everything in their way. He quickly turned and sprinted away, but that's when his legs locked up the most inopportune time, sending him falling forward, and getting struck by a geyser of Zero's creation.

6 was sent tumbling as the sharp beeping from shield damage sounded in his dark, claustrophobic helmet. He had no idea how much damage had been done, the helmet display still had not returned, but they weren't down just yet he reasoned. "This is a problem." Referring to his suit going maverick. "That red bastard did something... maybe that smoke had something to do with it-" He strained a bit as the suit tried to act on its own. B312 managed to get into a kneeling position as he gripped the left arm that had been acting up when Zero's assault was unending. A purple energy double's feet dragged across the pavement as it barreled towards 6. He gritted his teeth and focused, before pushed against the maverick virus.

He quickly rolled to the side much like his alien enemies on Reach, and grabbed another grenade from his side. Like throwing a discus, the Spartan III spun around to chuck the cerulean colored grenade. He could feel the armor fighting against his left arm, but he kept yanking it the way he needed it to go, before throwing it right at Zero with explosive strength. It felt bizarre, as if the strength wasn't entirely his own. Somehow more enhanced than usual, a byproduct of the virus plaguing his suit. It was only sheer luck that he could hone it for that split second. As the grenade flew like a fastball, 6 quickly slammed his unaffected fist down onto the pavement, activating his newly equipped Armor Ability. Armor Lock served to coat the Spartan with energy to avoid damage from the subsequent blue explosion.

If Zero can't avoid the plasma grenade in time, it will stick to him, before a devastating detonation.

The Lancer watched the confrontation between two servants and masters. One of them, he was sure was Saber. Guy didn’t look real heroic though.

As Sabers masters fired upon the flying ship, Jason could do little but observe as the attack had no effect, instead allowing the lady he now knew as Ruler to use a Noble Phantasm.​

A tool utilized by the master of blacksmithing
Hephaestus, god of fire

Hephaetus…. The Greek version of Vulcan. Was Ruler here associated with him somehow? A mystery, if there ever was one. There was no time to dwell on this, however. Ruler brought forth two blades…. Both that probably required two hands most of the time. Jason probably wasn’t going to be winning any arm-wresting contests with her.

Was it just him, or was he hearing explosions? Looks like this wasn’t the only servant battle happening nearby.

Jason wasn’t broadcasting his location, but he wasn’t hiding it either. Ruler and Saber would most likely be able to feel Lancers presence nearby.

Good. The Maverick Virus is settling in quite nicely with the Assassin. Now to defeat him or at least, create an opening to escape in the next few minutes. The Assassin would then throw a grenade towards Zero. He would respond by shooting the grenade mid-flight, causing it to explode a large plasma explosion--chipping away more of Zero's armor.

Even then, Zero couldn't stop here. From the explosion, more of those purple energy clones came dashing towards Noble 6. After which, Zero would shoot two homing blue plasma rings at the armored Servant, soon lunging in after them to land a multi-slash combo.

Swing, swing, overhead, underhand, swing, swing, overhead, underhand--

After which, Zero would then jump, the blade turning blue, freezing anything it touches.

Rean

Rean barely showed any reaction to the bravado of Ruler. She really must have a screw loose if she thought Saber would be taken down so easily. However he didn't have much time to mull over the stupidity of this single Servant. Right now he needed to focus on taking care of her Master. Leaping atop one of the wands shooting fireballs. Rean aimed it at the ground to create an explosion to send him up into the air. Landing a ways away from the clashing Servants. He pulled out The High Priestess from his coat. Triggering its effects once he raised it above his head. His eyes began to perceive the world in a similar manner to infrared. Now he only needed to locate the aura of his target. "Come out little mage. There isn't anywhere to hide in this burning forest. Face me or be scorched by these flames. Not an easy decision but between a likely death and an inevitable death. Its a decision not made without a bit of haste~" said Rean, searching for his quarry with his arm still tightly bound.

Nightmare

The Azure Knight deftly blocked the pathetic attacks of the Holy Maiden before him. Much like that Greek Woman. Saber was aggravated by her mere presence. Ruler was a foe he couldn't allow to leave alive. Her soul was to be fed to Soul Edge. Despite his hulking form and metallic frame. Saber was nimble enough to ensure that he wasn't pushed back by Ruler. Raising Soul Edge above him with a guttural roar. Saber thrust the massive blade into the ground with enough force to make the earth shake. "Fall into darkness, wench........PERISH!" cried the deranged swordsman as a wave of crimson energy swept out from a newly formed crater. The evil energy was strong enough to obliterate any trees unfortunate enough to be near its radius. Retrieving his weapon from the ground. Saber then stomped his foot and gestured to Ruler with his clawed hand. His glowing red eyes focused on her as if she was both predator and prey. There was no fear or anticipation, only hatred. All Holy Maidens who stood before the Azure Knight were to be devoured by Soul Edge. That was the only fate allowed to such wretched creatures. No matter how many inferior weapons she conjured or tricks she pulled. Vermin like Ruler were to be cut down to satisfy Soul Edge. Only then could Saber set the world ablaze with death and destruction.

Allison had herself asking about the circumstances of her situation as she had hid herself in an alleyway behind the dumpster, praying that Rean wouldn't find her. On the other hand, Saber managed to block Ruler's swords and went back to stab the ground for his sword to release a powerful wave of energy that could obliterate anything unfortunate to get hit by it. Ruler quickly transformed her swords into flames to blast the ground to propel herself into the air right before the energy could hit her.

When she had landed, Saber is asking her to attack. Ruler was not pleased. With the flames still large, she transforms them into a large gatling gun that belonged to a certain Russian man.

"Eat lead, motherfucker!" Ruler yelled as she had began to rain hell towards Saber.

As Jason watched the battle between Saber and Ruler, Saber stabbed in sqors into the air, releasing a powerful energy burst!

Jason let up in the air in the nick of time- letting the winds carry him upward. He could feel the dark energy underneath him. Saber here was likely one of the strongest servants, seeing how he was taking on Ruler.

Unfortunately for Jason, he was fully visible in the air, a blond teenager carrying a golden sword. There was somebody else enjoying the airspace. A young man with a black hat sailing away from the chaos. Saber’s master.

Now this left Lancer with a choice. Take on Sabers Master, or engage with Saber. and Ruler. Lancet opted for a variation of the second. Help Ruler defeat Saber. After all, he was pretty sure that Ruler servants were not able to win in this War, and Saber was a dangerous competitor.

His decision made, Lancer thrust out with his free hand at Saber sword, creating a wind rope wrapped around the blade. Pulling hard, Jason attempted to fling away the dark Sabers blade!

Zero had turned hostile, more so than before. The attacks just kept coming, and with his suit fighting to take control, 6 was in an admittedly bad spot. He grunted as just outside his armor, the red Maverick Hunter continued to throw everything he had at his Armor Lock. It was effective at negating the attacks, as projectiles bounced off of him while he was left crouched down. Though, it also allowed him enough time to think.

"This can't be good." The spartan thought to himself. "The armor is practically on auto pilot, that's not supposed to happen..." 6 thought back to how that smoke Zero created was indeed responsible for this. It was unheard of, the Mjolnir taking control like it had a mind of it's own. He was able to subdue it for now, but he worried what would happen as soon as Armor Lock expires. The overhead display hadn't returned either. He knew his shields were still active, but at what capacity was the question.

Out of the reflection of a puddle, 6 watched as Zero lunges forward to strike at him with his blade, but the Spartan simply counted backwards from 5. Thanks to Armor Lock, he was practically impervious to the outside threat, at the cost of no maneuverability. Zero struck wildly at him, truly remarkable sword play, but it was also foolish. Wasting energy on something that wasn't going to break, but he couldn't have possibly known that. The energy from the armor lock appeared to be going unstable however, as excess energy began to leak out from the protective barrier. 6 knew that time was almost up, but it wouldn't come without a counter.

"2..." with limited visibility, he watched Zero's feet leave the ground near the end of his combo. He knew armor lock was almost up, and just in time. His only concern was what the his armor would do without him, but he had a feeling that whatever had happened so far was only the beginning of his rogue armor's display. He decided that resisting it would be pointless now. He didn't like the idea, but he had no say in it anymore. "1..." Energy sparked off of him, and as Zero reached the apex of his jump, Armor Lock released a great concussive boom as it expired. As Zero is hit by it, streetlights flickered, and all other electronic devices around him suddenly shut down. It had become clear what Berserker was hit by; an Electro Magnetic Pulse, an EMP. Whatever affect it may have had on the Maverick Hunter didn't matter to 6 or his out of control armor, but at the end of the day, Zero was a machine. It was time to inact his counter move.

As Zero was hit by this sudden blast, sending him back, his enemy leapt up and grabbed onto his leg with great force. 6's armor had already been designed to enhance the wearer's strength, speed and agility beyond their already augmented body. What B312 was unaware of was exactly what Zero did to him, but with his loss of control came power, and a lot of it. As they fell, the Spartan slammed Zero into the ground that broke apart beneath him, before flinging him into a nearby building with a mighty toss.

With just a small taste of his new strength, B312 couldn't help but laugh again, the same way he did with Ichi. This new found power was intoxicating. "Is this what it's like?" The armor walked over to where Zero crashed into the wall, where a small crater of sorts was left behind. With one hand the armor raised the Shotgun and as it fired a spray of lead, the satisfying hum of their shields returning sounded. "Is this what being a Spartan II is like?" The Spartan 2, feared by the Covenant. To them, they are known as Demons. If Zero didn't realize before, he sure did now, just how large a Spartan really is.

With a cold aura coming off of 6's dark static armor, he pulled a knife from his collar, and came sprinting at the Red Soldier with little time to react. In a moment's notice, 6 was in striking rage as he swung down like the beginning of an uppercut, while Zero was down. He used his left to strike him in the head, and in his right was the knife that he promptly slashed to the side with. It cut clean through the wall beside them before making it's way towards Zero's neck. He was faster than before, stronger to boot, like a Silent Berserker. He truly had become a demon.

Zero was knocked back a great distance by the armor disengaging from 6, followed by 6 grabbing his leg and slamming him back to the ground, causing him to cough up oil--which, suspiciously, looked a lot like blood. Due to his Viral Reversion, the EMP didn't do much to him. Reploids are robots advanced enough to resist that sort of pulse enough that it only inhibits weaponry.

His Buster and Saber were now useless for the time.

It's no exaggeration to say that he's more battered and damaged than ever. Body armor cracked, sparks flying from his body--oil like blood dripping down from those wounds. He expected that strength--that madness of becoming Maverick.

Prying himself off of the wall, he barely missed the spray of lead fired at him, damaging his armor even further as he landed on the ground, now balling his hand into another fist as he glared down the imposing demon, knowing no fear. Not in his life. Not in his subsequent deaths. Not even in his revival hundred of years later. Not even after he committed the greatest taboo in robotics and slaughtered a man on a crashing space station to prevent the destruction of nature.

It's nothing more than Sigma gaining a whole new body all over again. Nothing more than Weil hatching another scheme after Omega's defeat.

Nothing more than an enemy he's meant to cut down.

"Bring it on." Zero growled, still not tired despite his battered appeared. As he dashed forward, Zero raised his fist and just before 6's attack connected, Zero had punched the floor once more, coating boat of them in plasmatic light, shooting in all directions in an explosion of power, like a porcupine bearing its spikes.

Rean

Rean wandered past an alleyway with a suspicious looking dumpster. Deciding to play with his prey. He shuffled his cards between his hands. "Little Master of Ruler. Are you here? Is that your heartbeat making enough ruckus to drown out these flames? I do hope you aren't of the belief that you can escape making a choice. Run all you want. Eventually you'll have to flip that coin and contend with my hospitality" said the magus, deliberately making it seem like he was getting closer to finding her. He already knew exactly where she is. However any mage would know that disrupting the logical parts of an opponents brain was key to preventing them from planning. Deciding that Rulers Master needed to make a choice sooner rather than later. Rean drew a card from his coat once more, The Tower. Throwing it at the wall near the dumpster. Cracks instantly began to form across the wall, the ground and even the dumpster. The Tower was only good at destroying things indiscriminately. However even indiscriminate destruction had its uses every once in a while. Now that the hiding place had been compromised. It was time for the second part of his little scheme. Drawing The Emperor from his deck. He used its power to draw over a group of Malfested Civilians. While they were feral beasts now due to Soul Edge's influences. They were easy to manipulate. Directing the pale skinned, red eyed monsters to swarm the crumbling alleyway. Rean could feel his bound arm begin to burn with anticipation.

Saber

Now that he didn't have to worry about his Master getting in the way of his soul gathering. Saber could focus on the destruction of the Holy Maiden attempting to defeat him with firearms. Firearms were ineffective to one who had no flesh. A being of metal and bone like the Azure Knight was able to shrug off such attacks. However the intervention of the Lancer Servant attempting to wrest Soul Edge from his grasp ensured he would have to put such plans on hold. Infuriated that a weak looking Servant dare touch Soul Edge. Saber set his sword aflame with dark fire. Draining power from his Master to fuel the flames of his rage. The only goal in sight was to reduce everything around him to ash. All he desired were SOULS. Souls to feed Soul Edge in order to strengthen it. Oxygenating his flames using the wind provided by Lancer. Saber summoned forth a pillar of dark hellfire to spew forth from the ground. All would be felled by Soul Edge to feed Soul Edge.

Allison had heard Rean spoke and her heartbeat hastening the more her fear grows. Rean then pulled off a spell to cause cracks around the alleyway, including the dumpster. Allison has already been compromised. "Sweet jinkies, I'm dead!" Allison began to shiver violently just as a herd of malfested civilians began to converge on her location. Allison started to shed a river of tears and sweat. Her body couldn't move as if something is weighing on her. This is the end for the Master of Ruler...or is it?
​

Just as when one of the malfested got near her, they're struck in the head by a black sword, killing it. Allison stopped shivering, shocked at what she saw. That's where her savior descends from the roof and landed toe first onto the sword. "You got some nerve targeting this girl right here." Said Claire, on her hands are Black Keys held in between her fingers. "I'll do admit that you have quite the unique magecraft you've practiced. But even that has it's own limitations." She added before throwing three of her Black Keys at the malfested on the front and another at the back. She got off the sword and pulled it off the ground to give it to Allison. "You're gonna need this." She told her before setting her sights on Rean. "Um...thank you." Allison said.

Meanwhile, the bullets fired from Ruler's gatling gun seemed to only bounce off Saber's armor. This got her very frustrated, but before going any further, she saw Lancer attempting to snatch away the Soul Edge and paid the price for it when the Azure Knight set the sword aflame and it is clear that he did not like that. "Looks like I'm gonna need more than just high firepower to take this guy down." Ruler thought to herself right before she noticed a ring of fire beneath her foot. She quickly ditches the gun to backflip away from the risen pillar of flames. She was able to avoid it, but now she's unarmed. "Damn it, Lancer!" She yelled angrily "What the hell were you thinking trying to act as a hero?!"

Unfortunately for the Demigod servant, his attempt to wrest the blade from Saber was unsuccessful, the blade instead lighting aflame. He dissipated the wind rope, but it was too late as a pillar of dark fire blasted up directly below him!

Pushing himself to the side with the wind, Lancer observed as Ruler lost her Russian gun.​

"Damn it, Lancer!" She yelled angrily "What the hell were you thinking trying to act as a hero?!"

Eh? Glancing back down at the golden sword he held in his hand, Lancers confusion grew. How could Ruler identify him as a Lancer for sure? Didn’t matter much.

Not bothering to reply to Ruler, Lancer floated upwards even more as dark clouds began to gather where the three servants were clashing. Seemed that Lancer was charging up an attack!

Zero was fearless and ready to give 6 everything he had. As a glowing light enveloped them both, Zero has struck the ground much like he had before. This time however, he was in close range and in the midst of punching and slicing at Zero's head. B312 was worried that with his armor in control that he would be forced to take the brunt of Zero's flashy attack. In the heat of battle, 312 noticed his mind slipping. "Is this the adrenaline?" He thought to himself. Whatever it was that has affected his armor was beginning to get to him as well, but he tried his best to fight it.

Everything was in slow motion as the towers of light began to form. One flew out and clipped his shoulder as he reached out to strike, sending a jolt through the armor. The enhanced strength turned out to be a great advantage, but the speed was even more beneficial, allowing 6 an unbelievable reaction time to stimuli as it is presented. With an explosive jump, 6 rose up above Zero, and as the beams came for him, kicked off of the wall they were both parallel with.

Another beam smacks into 6 midair, causing him to spin and flip, but was able to manage a descend behind Zero. As he came down, 6 took advantage one of Zero's weaknesses and one his key features. Grabbing hold on his long hair as his feet touched the ground, 6 quickly capitalized and brought his knee forward. As he pulled, he deliver a devastating knee to his back, further damaging the armor he had left. A laugh came from him once more as he followed up with a punch to his crown. He was determined to shatter Zero's helmet to pieces with as many ruthless punches as it took.

He could feel his conscious mind slipping away with every punch. It was almost like a dream. "Just who is this Servant's master anyway?" he thought to himself. "Will they be making an appearance?"

"Ah. So this is the choice you've made, Sister Claire. I guess these malfested do muddle things rule-wise" said the magus while flicking the brim of his hat. There was no doubt about it. Sister Claire was likely somewhere around the level of an Executor in regards to her ability. Normally he wouldn't have any problem with one of them. However a battlefield such as this made for an unpredictable outcome. So he'd have to pull out a few tricks in order to deal with her and the Master of Ruler. Hopefully Saber didn't fall too quickly. Otherwise he'd be skewered by the nun in front of him. Slipping something out of his sleeve. Rean drew The Chariot and placed it against his bound arm. Glowing mana patterns appeared across his body. Feeling the flow of energy throughout his entire being. Rean tore through the bindings on his left arm and revealed his limb to the pair of women. Rather than an ordinary arm. A skeletal and monstrous appendage was left in its place. "Hideous isn't it? Thats what a demonic sword with omnicidal tendencies will do to you" stated Rean, opening and closing his clawed hand. His skin paled while his eyes gained the characteristic red glow of a malfested. He'd reinforced his body so that his body could withstand the whiplash from his new arm. Kicking off the ground and dashing at Sister Claire. Rean swiped with his claw as it pulsated with corrupted energy.

Saber

Having disarmed the Ruler and forced the Lancer into charging up an attack. Saber raised his massive sword skyward as bolts of crimson lightning danced along the blade. Scraping the weapon along the back of his demonic claw. The weapon was bathed in a mixture of dark flames and red electricity. "YOUR NIGHTMARE BEGINS NOW!" cried Saber as he dashed toward Ruler. Despite the heft of such a mighty sword. Saber was able to slice and slash at Ruler with enough force to burst open any trees unlucky to not be charcoal by now. His only thoughts were of slaying this Holy Maiden and adding her soul to the myriad of others within Soul Edge. The Azure Knight was prepared to wipe out this entire city if it meant he could destroy the woman in front of him. Surging with unholy power and belting out a guttural roar. Saber continued his assault on the Ruler Servant with single minded determination.
