[center][color=00aeef][h1]Lancelot-chan[/h1][/color] [img]https://i.imgur.com/DmBbXux.jpg?1[/img][/center] [h2]Earlier that night...[/h2] [b][u]Tohsaka Manor - (Before Flattening)[/u][/b] Olivier had been performing her rounds around the manor both inside and out. A one-woman patrol before she took in the full view of the fires ahead. Just as the Paladin was about to report to her Master, Tohsaka seemed to know ahead of time and called for her instead. [color=darkred][b][i]“Saber. It's time.”[/i][/b][/color] The words echo around the manor as she entered through the backdoor. His booming voice audible from within. The Saber Servant rushed to his side in full plated armor. [color=00aeef]"I arrive, Master. What needs to be done?"[/color] Blue eyes firm and at the ready, she assisted her Master in packing up any last minutes, nearly tipping over some valuable heirlooms and porcelain souvenirs. Bursting out of the door in a flash as Master Tohsaka announced to the Matou familiars what was currently happening. He turned to her and offered the task of safeguarding the two houses with the Matou Master's Servant. With a simple nod, she followed those orders and left in spirit form. [b]So what did happen when she materialized in her physical form?[/b] The fire grew and from the sky, she observed something that was out of this world, green light and green mist all colliding together to form- [color=00aeef]"A single world and it's falling right above my he- Nope."[/color] Tasked in guarding the house had never been sweeter, at least she was barely there in the edge of such a Noble Phantasm. What kind of madman would think of decimating a third of this district? It had to be a Berserker she thought, a powerful one at that with a powerful Master that could withstand the amount of prana being drawn out of them. She sprinted as far as her legs could carry occasionally using the spear form of Hauteclere to boost her skips into the forest just mere seconds before impact. In a flash, the manor was gone. [h2]Present hour...[/h2] [b][u]Route to Einzbern Castle - Einzbern Forest[/u][/b] Sliding in the dirt of the forest was Olivier. Heel trenched deep into the earth to stop her inhuman speed. The lass-Paladin removed her helmet to bow before him in shame. [color=00aeef]"Master... I failed in protecting the manors... I do not know about whether or not the Matous have survived but someone unleashed a Noble Phantasm just to stop the fire."[/color] To make things more worrying... [color=00a99d][i]"Olivier... I need your wisdom now, more than I ever have before."[/i][/color] Hearing the voice of her Paladin compatriot was an armless Roland putting down his Master to request her aid. She was overcome with anger and sorrow, taking the severed limb and gripping it tight. [color=00aeef]"What happened. Who did this?"[/color] [@Kyoka] [@Sageage] [@Reflection] [hr] [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/w7StWnv.png[/img] [b][i]Academy, Miyama Town[/i][/b] [b]Night 2[/b][/center] Cars and "borrowed" carriages parked up against the open space that was the olden Academy grounds. Enzo and his entourage stepped out of the car, laughing and having a good time with them before praising Caster on the immediate control of the unaware minds of Fuyuki's future. As Piper pulled his little concert to give the men some music to enjoy, the mafioso heir had decided to unload and unpack everything in key locations around the school. You thought that this school fortress was bad with the debuffs? With the resources the Levito magus brought with him, he had an army of men armed with firearms. The prototype gatling guns (machine guns) fixed and placed in every nook and cranny of the school grounds as well as snipers positioned on the roof of the school. [color=f7941d]"Alright you lugs, time to get serious. We're taking over this town by force!"[/color] Earning the cheers right after Piper's little performance got his men motivated for tonight and the days that come forward. [color=00aeef]"Master Enzo, it seems we have tenants in our former base, refugees from the sea i believe, one appears to be a mage and the other seems to be a navy girl of some sorts[/color] Piper said, handing him the grotesque-looking detonator. The ginger American just gave him a weird look before wearing a glove over his other glove to accept the... "detonator". [color=f7941d]"Maybe next time you use something that isn't rat guts?"[/color] He sighed but it was useful nonetheless, with Piper's surveillance over the harbor maybe he could get whoever attacked them last night. That Lancer kid and a loli Oni bonus if they have their Masters with them. [color=f7941d]"Really? Hmm."[/color] Looking at the detonator and the need for potential allies, it's impossible for him to call his father to commandeer a ship in the American navy to come to Japan. That would bring a lot of attention... ...however- [color=f7941d]"Let's see... why don't we send an envoy to them? Ask if they would like to meet in the morning."[/color] The green shimmering "star" (Achilles) appeared in the corner of his eye as it landed on the blaze destroying the Foreigner's District (Basin) with a loud bang, not unlike a gunshot. [color=f7941d]"Hm. Looks like someone dealt with it."[/color] [@Argonaut]
