Current I think watching fight scenes can help in general terms with writing combat, since it can give you an idea of flow and choreography.

At least if you're writing something you know, with knights.

I mean, depends on what you're writing, and the tone and theme of what you're writing. Trained armored knights were legitimately monstrous on the battlefield, so looking up how they fought helps.

As much as there's a lot of reasons twitter sucks, I genuinely don't want to see it die for the sake of all the artists who now rely on it. Hoping the shithead stops trying to directly administrate.

The figure that rose, grinning widely, after she kicked the monstergirl didn't have an entirely human appearance herself. But that was hardly unheard of. Some magical girls were physically influenced by their concepts and archetypes, after all. But... the oversized kanabo, the horns, the oddly shameless manner of dress combined with the Japanese theme...

It was Steel Rod Naoko, one of the stronger magical girls in Tokyo. Her grin displayed her sharp-looking fangs, as she rested her kanabo on her shoulder.

"Heeeh, Tsukimi-chaaaan?" she asked, craning her neck towards the spear-wielding girl, now identified as Tsukimi, "Not only did you go starting a fight before the Hex Night started, but you kicked it off without me? You're being pretty naughty."

She waved a finger in an admonishing fashion, still grinning as she did. She didn't seem all that bothered, if Hikari was being honest.

"But now that I'm here, I'm hardly going to pass up the opportunity, right? Frankenstein-sensei!"

Turning abruptly on her heel, she dragged the kanabo through the street, grinding a long gash in the asphalt as she turned, swinging it heavily towards the monstergirl as she did.

Tsukimi seemed to relax, her shoulders sagging, before she glanced back towards Hikari... and then towards Tokiko. Suddenly, she darted right towards the other magical girl, spear held at the ready!

Hikari stared, then glanced back towards the fairy, who was watching the battle with a look of concern on her face.

"You... fairy, right?!"

As much as she'd been pissed off at the other girl, and moreso after being belittled... that... that was just more of a reason to show how she was wrong, right?! And leaving her to fend off two enemies on her own...

"Ah, yes!"

"What do I have to do?!"

@Anza@A Lowly Wretch
"It's not cruel!" declared the fairy, defiantly, even as Hikari had absolutely no clue what was happening(aside from her anger rising at both the magical girls present, now), "It might be hard for her... but it isn't the first time a magical girl has been created right before the Hex Night, and if she misses her chance this time the next one won't come for another twenty years! That's how I view it!"

By this point, the fairy had interposed herself between Hikari and the other two girls, leaving the tiny brunette to peer around her. The Hex Night... was it some sort of battle between Magical Girls? Why? But it didn't matter. This was a chance for her to become a magical girl! It was the only opportunity she had ever been offered for something like this. And deep down, it was something she'd wanted ever since that accident all those years ago.

"That's a nice sentiment 'n all, but I'm still going to put her in the hospital," commented the spear girl, twirling her 'needle' as she did, "Frankenstein-sensei over there might talk a tough game, but she did intervene to protect that girl like an idiot, right?"

Her body tensed again.

"So I'll just have to beat her and her monster both. You can't intervene directly, right? So I just gotta do it before you make her a magical girl too!"

The fairy appeared hesitant.

"... Hey... what do I have to say? To... to become a magical girl," asked Hikari.

"Oh? Well-"

Suddenly, there was a rush of air and noise, as someone seemed to come from no-where aiming a flying kick directly towards Tokiko's monstergirl!

@Anza
"Gah!"

The enemy magical girl was barely able to raise her spear defensively, using the shaft of the weapon to block the heavy punch as it sent her skidding backwards across the ground, sparks flying up from her feet. She swiftly readied herself for another strike... until the monstergirl suddenly retreated.

"Tch... that was the void shade I had my eye on!" protested the spear-wielding girl, until she realized just what was happening behind her.

"I can sense the potential, the will to do good in your heart!" declared the fairy, brightly, "I can grant you the opportunity to be a beautiful and elegant agent of justice, a magical girl!"

Hikari's mouth opened and closed slowly. It wasn't enough that she had been attacked by a magical girl. It wasn't enough that the girl who had collided with her had also been a magical girl and summoned a female version of Frankenstein's Monster to attack the spear girl. It wasn't enough that a fairy had shown up out of no-where.

Now, on top of everything else, she was being offered the chance to be a magical girl herself.

Hikari's heart soared. A magical girl?! That was just what she had wanted, the chance to help people. Ever since that accident all those years ago... but... how was this happening?! How was any of it true?!

That's when the enemy magical girl's spear suddenly hurtled through the air, landing squarely between the fairy and Hikari, who yelped in surprise and fear that she would never admit to.

"Damn it, don't go giving her powers! That makes the whole thing pointless!" snapped the spear-wielder, her spear returning to her side just as quickly as it had been thrown.

"Muuu, but she has a lot of potential! She could help a lot of people! She could defeat a lot of void shades!" cried the fairy, waving her hands frantically at her sides as she did. "That's why I'm here!"

Hikari was simply too overwhelmed to even move, for the moment.

But there was this certain feeling... was another magical girl coming...?

@Anza
"Haah, I thought I recognized the whole mad scientist theme," commented the girl, skipping back after the tip of her spear was batted out of the way, "And now the monstergirl just cinches it. You killed the void shade that appeared last week, didn't you?"

Void shade? Monstergirl? This was all total madness to Hikari, who couldn't help but stare in mute shock at the scene unfolding before her. She couldn't even manage to get her legs up under her and run. Now a skimply-dressed zombie girl had hopped out of the giant coffin, and it was all... it was crazy! Super crazy! Why were magical girls real?!

But even as Hikari watched, that feeling rose in her heart again... if magical girls were real, then... could she... maybe...

She was snapped out of her thoughts when something dropped into her vision, obscuring her view of the fight. The tiny brunette stared. In a long, growing string of unbelievable, shocking things, this was just one of them.

It was a girl with feathery wings.

"Ah, I'm so glad I got to you!" she declared, "Listen, things are a little urgent right now so I have to be quick about this... do you want to be a magical girl?!"

Hikari's mouth hung open.

"Eeeeehhh?!"

Meanwhile, the spear-wielding girl leaped back. In the light of the slowly setting sun, she ducked low, suddenly aiming for an upward thrust of her spear against the other girl. There was something somewhat unusual about it, especially since it had been specifically referred to as a needle... but that was all so far that could be used in its potential identification.

However, it couldn't be guaranteed that the spear-wielding magical girl would be the only enemy...

@Anza
@ACHTUNG: "Stonewall" would have to be an Archetype because a specific person can't be a Concept. But like, honestly for what oyu seem to want, "Army" would be the most fitting Concept?

@Darcness: It is.
The situation had gone even more insane by the second.

Now Honami had... had transformed?! It had become clear now, both girls were magical girls! And... magical girls... magical girls were real, apparently! Part of Hikari's head suddenly soared at this idea, that niggling reminder of the fact that she had a dream... but it was buried, quickly, under feat and confusion.

The spear-wielding girl let out a sigh, raising her spear away from Hikari, who could barely manage to let out a sigh of relief as she watched the first magical girl round on Honami, resting her weapon on her shoulder.

"Aaah, jeez," she complained, "You really don't want me to take out the competition early? What if she gets some kinda super-strong power or something?!"

The girl sighed, then lowered her spear, taking a ready stance as she slid her feet back, the tip of her spear pointed down with one arm raised to hold the shaft towards the back, then another towards the base of the head.

"Fine. I might not be the strongest magical girl around..."

She suddenly displayed a vicious grin.

"But I'll skewer you on my needle!"

@Anza
@KoL: Accepted.
@ACHTUNG: I mean, honestly I think that you're still not quite clicking on what the difference between concept and archetype is. Concepts are meant to be relatively broad categories but also things that inspired imagination and legends. One of the more modern ones is "Winchester" which is a famous rifle manufacturer associated with the Wild West and the modernization of firearms.

And that's still broad because it can generally be applied to the idea of those guns. Your concept being a specific person doesn't really work. I think you're overthinking it as well and kind of pidgeon holing yourself into an overly narrow set of abilities.

If you're really attached to the military theme and the cloning abilities, "Army" would make sense.

@Ammokkx: Yeah sorry she's meant to be extremely new. ^^;

That's fine.
Saber


For a few moments, a brief pause in battle, Saber stared in muted shock. The figure that had intercepted Fenrir... it was a bear, and that bear was commanded by... it couldn't be. How could she be here, wielding such powers? But there wa no mistaking it. There wasn't the tiniest bit of doubt in the blonde swordswoman's mind about the individual she had laid eyes upon. That was, absolutely, unquestionably, the daughter of Irisviel von Einzbern.

Illyasviel.

And yet she possessed the power, the strength, the speed of a Servant. She was even capable of using her bear to knock the great wolf off its attack course, just like that! Saber was only pulled away from her shock when she noticed the surge of mana, as Archer used her Noble Phantasm to toss the massive wold high into the air and pierce it with a great, flaming arrow! But it didn't appear to harm the beast very much, rather it melted the ice around it, and briefly stunned the enormous creature.

But...

The battlefield was cleared.

Fernir was unable to respond quickly.

It was clear that a legendary monster of this size and strength could not be slain so easily.

It needed a great legend to destroy it.

Perhaps using this in an enclosed space was dangerous, but the King of Knights had concluded that not only was the vastness of the cavern sufficient space, but there was little other choice. A monster like this would be able to run rampant if not killed quickly, and given that it swallowed the sun in legend... it was possible this was not even its full size.

"Clear the area around Fenrir!" declared Saber. She could question the presence of Irisviel's daughter(a pang of pain echoing through her heart as she recalled the woman's face). For now, she had to strike this beast down.

She had to deliver a strike from which it could not recover.

Gripping Excalibur's hilt in both hands, she raised the blade skywards. Invisible Air was dispelled immediately with a burst of wind, revealing the brilliant gold of the divine sword.

Fenrir was beginning to rise. The moment that there was space cleared around the massive wolf, however...

Golden light, piercing the reddish hue of the cavern, suddenly began to build. Like particles of dust they drifted and gathered, coalescing around Saber's blade more and more, building into a brilliant glow. A shining, resplendent beacon that blazed across the battlefield, calling to all warriors past, present, and future. A light of hope to the suffering, singing victory to all those who needed it.

The unquestionable Noble Phantasm of King Arthur. One of the greatest weapons in human history, standing as the pinnacle of all Holy Swords second only to the Sword of Rupture.

There was a second blast of air, pushing a wave of wind away from the sword.

The greatest of all Holy Swords, indeed. And its name...

"Ex..."

Saber drew the sword back...

"CALIBUUUUUR!"

A wave of golden light exploded from the sword, erupting through the cavern! What little remained of the shadowy beasts that had emerged from the blackness was annihilated, vaporized in an instant as the cleansing light tore towards the Sun Eater!

@Raineh Daze@KoL@PKMNB0Y
Hikari stared, in mute shock, at the sight of the girl perched on her spear. Even more shocking was the fact that Honami wasn't surprised at all. In fact, she was talking about... magic? Normal? What? Rules? Nothing made sense. Everything had been perfectly normal right up until this point, but all of the sudden everything had gone completely mad, utterly and totally insane in every way. Was this some sort of magical girl or something?! But those were only in anime!

The spear girl looked back over her shoulder, towards Honami.

"Eh? Eeeehhh? You're a magical girl, too?" she asked, perplexed, "I had no idea! That makes this a lot easier."

Hikari watched as the girl hopped off of her spear, which suddenly withdrew from the wall and flew into her hand as if it was nothing.

"Fairy-chan's got her eye on this one, and there's no way I'm letting her make even more competition," explained the girl, still looking towards Honami as she spoke, "So, I'm just going to put her in the hospital for a few weeks."

"Wh-what?!" cried Hikari, wide-eyed. Nothing made any sense, but she froze for a moment when the tip of the spear was pointed directly at her.

"That way, she can't become a magical girl until after the Hex Night is over!" declared the spear girl, grinning.

Hikari scooted back, and... out of the corner of her eye, she thought she saw a feathery wing... But the spear girl approached, the tip still pointed firmly at the brunette...
