"IF SUMMONING A F@#$ING DRAGON IS CONSIDERED BOMBING WERE IN A NEW TYPE OF HELL!" Vince yelled still freaking out.

"Summoning a...WHAT!?"

by **Helsing** Sat Apr 18, 2015 3:58 pm

"CASTER IS FAFNIR! I NEED TO STOP YELLING!"

Gerson who after getting to the other side of town thought that hopefully he's far enough away from the blast zone and continued his connection to his families as a multitude of pictures danced before his eyes as his hounded and eagles came back online.
Gerson saw and rubbed his chin trying to think how the f*ck his going to get around that as he dispersed those that where there into hiding using them not to assault but assess the situation as his eyes as he began activating his more combat oriented familiars

Caster turned, abruptly, and fired off another blast of dragonfire down the mountainside. A hundred arrows burned mid-flight as a huge portion of the forest was vaporized almost instantly.

The torrent of arrows did not resume. That wasn't good - it meant Archer was injured, or more likely dead. Takeshi's Command Seals remained intact, however.

"Right. Saber," Rin held up her hand, her own Command Seals glowing. "With this Command Seal, I order you: destroy Caster with your Noble Phantasm!"

Saber nodded, and manifested the third of his three Noble Phantasms. Giganten, the giant-made sword with which he slew the dragon in his legend - not so much a sword so much as it was a giant, bladed telephone pole, yet he wielded it easily. He quickly bounded up the stairs, Hrunting materializing in his other hand, and leapt into the fray.

None too soon, either - Caster's free wing shot out and smashed Lancer to the ground - the other Servant's speed mattered little when the wing was so immense. Before Fafnir could rip him in half, though, Saber intervened. "Hrunting!" He hurled the spiked black sword end-over-end through the air, curving to strike perfectly into Caster's left eye.

With an earth-shaking bellow, the dragon reared back, giving Lancer ample time to get back to his feet and out of harm's way. He attacked again, seizing the opportunity, but was buffeted away with a backhand strike from Fafnir's talon, tearing one of his legs clear off. The servant tumbled helplessly through the air...only to land unexpectedly safely on a wooden surface.

Specifically, a deck. Of a ship.

"Ready!"

The Argo.

"Aim!"

And he wasn't the only one on there, either. There were numerous presences, just below that of a Servant in and of themselves, shadows of the crew once commanded by Rider, otherwise known by his true name: Jason. The Argo, in legend, carried nearly every Greek hero or heroine of legend: Hercules, Atalanta, Odysseus, for example.

And all of them had bowstrings drawn and aimed at Fafnir.

"FIRE!" A cloud of arrows soared forth - most were, admittedly, turned away by the armored hide of Caster's Noble Phantasm, but one got through - the largest man aboard the Argo wielded a bow so large it could have been mistaken for a small tree. He fired arrows nine at a time, each tipped in a sizzling acid, that apparently could even eat through Fafnir's hide given repeated hits.

Lancer saw his chance, came up with an idea, made a decision, and acted on it within less than a second. He dove from the side of the floating ship, pushing off with the spear's shaft, heading straight for Fafnir's jaws, stretched wide in agony. His spear seemed to be shrouded in blood-red flames as he held it out before him.

"Gae..."

It wouldn't be any fun if all these Noble Phantasms got tossed about and he didn't have a chance to use his.

"...Bolg!"

From the view of anyone else, it appeared Lancer became a scarlet comet shooting straight down Caster's throat. Light the same color as Gae Bolg's aura shone from within the dragon. Inside, Caster's heart was pierced by the spearhead, with Lancer still holding the shaft. With all his strength, Cú Chulainn tore the blade out in a direction perpendicular to its entry shot - had he simply thrown the spear, Caster would have survived. But now his heart was rent in two - even a dragon could not survive that. With one last deafening scream, Fafnir's body slumped to the ground and dissolved into metallic golden flecks, leaving Lancer to stand using his Noble Phantasm to support his weight - missing a leg does that to you.

"I would just like to say this: this is the best day OF MY LIFE! Now, WHO'S NEXT!?"

by **A Blind Guy** Sat Apr 18, 2015 4:35 pm

<Archer? Archer, are you there?" Takeshi asks, trying not to panic.

by **Flagmauth** Sat Apr 18, 2015 4:42 pm

There was no response from Tomoe. Still the Command Seals did not fade.

Assassin mentally signaled his Master. <Caster is dead. The enemy Servants are weakened and their Masters are vulnerable, especially Master of Caster.>

by **Helsing** Sat Apr 18, 2015 4:44 pm

<Take them out if you can.> Vince ordered

***

Aaron looked at his hand and he sighed as he watched his command seals disappear "Damn."

by Draco Flame Sat Apr 18, 2015 4:44 pm

Gerson was dumbfounded as he stared at the floating images is shock and pride and he was happy his battle familiars have yet to arrived. As he gave his own battle cry
<ALRIGHT let the party rock! Next person to stand up smack him down!>
Gerson then took a moment to gather himself.
<When you with to stop please inform me and i will get you out of there, and be warned i will pull you out before i think your about to die. It's up to your discretion ohhh dragon slayer>

by **A Blind Guy** Sat Apr 18, 2015 4:46 pm

"I'm going to see what happened." Takeshi says before making a B-line to where he last remembered Archer was.

by **Flagmauth** Sat Apr 18, 2015 4:48 pm

As Aaron lowered his hand, he felt a minor tingling - the energy of the remaining two Command Seals leaving him. They left a slightly pink pattern behind - like a sunburn. In the right light, it almost looked as though they hadn't completely faded. Wishful thinking, though.

Nobody noticed as Assassin slipped past the triumphant Lancer and entered the temple. Especially given Lancer had decided to antagonize Saber. "Hey, you're a dragonslayer. I'm a dragonslayer. Let's see which of us is better, am I right?"

by **Helsing** Sat Apr 18, 2015 4:49 pm

Aaron got up and started walking to the back exit of the temple.

by **Flagmauth** Sat Apr 18, 2015 4:54 pm

It turned out that Tomoe had unleashed her own Noble Phantasm in order to survive the blast of dragonfire. She had reverted to Spirit Form to conserve her mana, but remained exactly in place - Takeshi could sense her presence - severely weakened - in the middle of what amounted to a crater.

Aaron heard a sound like a sudden burst of electricity from his left. Looking in that direction, it was a circle of runes very similar to the summoning circle he'd used to bring Fafnir to life in the first place. Apparently Caster had been doing more than lounging around his horde (which had been left behind, I might add) - he had been looking into the Grail ritual. Most Casters tended to.

by **Helsing** Sat Apr 18, 2015 4:55 pm

Aaron went closer and investigated the circle.

by **Flagmauth** Sat Apr 18, 2015 5:00 pm

As he drew near, another jolt of electricity leapt from its boundaries - the source of the noise from earlier. Then another...and another...and probably this was a bad place to be standing...

Too late. A web of magical lightning bolts sprang up from the circle and seemingly anchored themselves to him - particularly the spots where his Command Seals had been. Speaking of which, they sprang back into being, including the one he'd already expended.

But that thought was kind of pushed into the back of his mind by the blinding pain.

by **A Blind Guy** Sat Apr 18, 2015 5:00 pm

Now filled with relief, Takeshi decides the best thing to do is get the hell out of there.

by Draco Flame Sat Apr 18, 2015 5:01 pm

<There's a master standing in a crater, I think its archers master. Damn it i think archers dead anyway i found my target have fun with yours.> Gereon then got his battle squad ready to fire.

what takeshi saw was a line of large lions, tigers, bears small dragons. with there mouths open with white energy that reveled themselves before firing simataniously

by **Helsing** Sat Apr 18, 2015 5:01 pm

Aaron did what he could and that was scream in pain

by **Flagmauth** Sat Apr 18, 2015 5:09 pm

The blasts went straight for Takeshi - and then stopped, impacting against something a good three feet in front of him.

Servant Archer stood there, hand outstretched and looking very much the worse for wear - her left arm was completely gone, her right arm was burnt down to the bone up to her elbow, her armor was generally scorched and in some places melted clean off, and her ponytail had come undone, leaving strands of severely burned hair to hang over her face.

Given that she'd just withstood most of a blast of dragonfire, the magic blasts from familiars were child's play.

Aaron was dropped unceremoniously to the floor, right on his face - and standing right in the middle of the circle was a figure. From his position, he could only see a pair of feet and the hem of a set of robes, but his Master's clairvoyance was telling him this was...Servant...Caster?

by **Helsing** Sat Apr 18, 2015 5:10 pm

"What the hell?" Aaron said looking up.

by **A Blind Guy** Sat Apr 18, 2015 5:11 pm

Takeshi made a note to thank archer later, bur for now, he decided it was best to clear the immediate area of mage police.

by Draco Flame Sat Apr 18, 2015 5:12 pm

Unforunatly for Him the fire squad didn't let up. firing in intervals and moving in and spreading out down the stairs.

by **Flagmauth** Sat Apr 18, 2015 5:13 pm

Caster was looking down at him impassively. And was definitely not Fafnir. Fafnir was not a woman and was four and half feet tall.

Let's see, Caster-class, female, hooded robes...oh, that narrowed it down to just every option ever. Off the top of his head Aaron could list Medea, Skuld, Morgan le Fay, Circe, Scathach...

But that still begged the question of why the hell was there another one!?

Archer couldn't pull that trick twice, but by this point Takeshi running away presented lots of cover by way of trees. And dodging.

by **A Blind Guy** Sat Apr 18, 2015 5:14 pm

TAkeshi pulls his warded collar up, shielding him even more as he dodges through the trees.

by **Helsing** Sat Apr 18, 2015 5:14 pm

Aaron got up "Who are you supposed to be?"
