As the explosions filled the Rhea quad as the servants vanished, the stone structures usually strengthened by magic were blown apart by Assassin's noble phantasm. The front part of the grand Citadel was blown apart, leaving the Chapel exposed. Ella and Gabby were back inside the Chapel with Damien and Saver. "Oh Fuck." Gabby said looking outwards from the exposed door to the chapel. Saver stood to meet the intruders. ----- "Banzai!" Shoshin shouted jumping into action into the centre of the Quad. "Listen up desert rats, I am Shoshin Yagami, prospect of House Izanami. I challenge any of you to magical combat, if you think you can handle me!" She said drawing Tenko. This was going to be better than she expected, she thought to herself while she waited to see what Shin and Rei would do. ---- Miraiko stood up, "Come here then, the first of you." He said pointing to Vincent. "Let's taste your prana." Vincent made his way forward and sat down next to Miraiko. Miraiko turned behind him and summoned over a crucible filled with molten metal and clicked his fingers and a small concentrated ball of white crackling energy held the crucible up and molten. "Give me your hand." He said forcefully taking Vincent's hand. He opened his other hand and small black particles whirled around and formed a small sharp blade in his fingers. "Tell me what is your biggest fear?" He asked holding Vincent's hand in his. "My my... my biggest fear...erm...I would have to say...my biggest fear is I would lose my friends and let the pain and loneliness turn me into facsimile of War." Vincent said, slow at fast and then hurried towards the end. Miraiko stabbed him with small blade and no blood came from the wound only a sort of flowing energy, which he took by the tip of his blade and directed it into the crucible. Miraiko tapped the spot again closing the wound and then smiled. "Good a truth, only truth can heal wounds of the soul." "What? Wounds of the soul?" Vincent asked leaning back, but Miraiko held his hand tightly. "Yes, shall we continue. What is your greatest goal or desire?" Vincent took a deep breath. "My greatest desire is to be better than I was before, better tomorrow. I want to have always feel like I have learned something, done something, seen something that made me a better person than I was the day before. I wanted to remembered..." Vincent trailed off as he started to hear what he was saying. Miraiko listened and nodded and stabbed him again, this time deeply. Vincent yelped slightly and Miraiko withdrew the blade. He used the blade to dance some of the blood into the crucible. And then he tapped the wound again the energy started to reverse and go back into the wound, bring the excess fallen blood back into the wound also. "Truth of truly where you want to be, mind over matter." Miraiko said looking at Vincent. Vincent matched his gaze and Miraiko smiled back. "Ok final part. Tell me something you have never told anyone." Vincent lowered his eyes and then turned to his friends and then back to Miraiko. "There is darkness in my blood, my magical lineage can be traced back as far as pre-briton, some of the darkest roots. I fear, know I know with this pre-disposition my goal, my virtue may soon become my bane and my pride and lead me to War once again. I covet his powers and I've seen the path that much hatred leads you down and yet still I am tempted. But I am fighting it, I am fighting a living breathing manifestation of a better me, I don't want to die. I'm fighting against myself at every turn and I can't handle it and I would have given up if not for my friends, I can let myself down but I can't let them down." Miraiko raised his blade and it started to changed shape until it was spinning long point. Which Miraiko then stabbed right into Vincent's wrist connecting with the bone before withdrawing it quickly, the wound healing behind it. The pain was there and gone in an instant and Miraiko tossed a small sample of the bone and it's marrow into the crucible. "Truth of structure, to steady the bones of fortitude." Miraiko said smiling and letting go of Vincents hand, he stood up and went to the crucible and looked inside. He then opened his palm and summoned a spinning plateau of the white electrical energy and used his other hand to pour the molten metal on top of it, it's super fast spinning and charge, cooling and galvanising the metal until it was just an obtuse shiny blob. Miraiko then threw it to Vincent. "There you go." "What?!" Vincent said catching the metal blob in his hands. "What do I do with this?" Miraiko smirked. "You speak to it, it's you after all. But it doesn't understand human words." Vincent looked to Alysis for help.
