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.

Saber - Benienma


Something felt wrong. The moment that they stepped into the room, Benienma could feel it.

Mary didn't respond. She didn't even turn to face them. Instead, she simply kept watching that strange image, a shadowy shape struck down by what looked like a Servant...

Then the small redheaded Servant felt it. Something was surging, some kind of power...!

A flash of brilliant light erupted from around her body, her casual outfit instantly replaced by her kimono, her katana materializing on her hip. She could almost see it, feel it, the pressure suddenly exuded from the direction of the girl sitting on the bed. In an instant, she was already moving, lunging forward, stepping in front of her Master...!

From the darkness beneath the bed, there erupted hands. Hundreds of pale, feminine hands, stretching unnaturally. Reaching, grasping, hands open as they extended towards her Master...!

But the battoujutsu of Benienma would suffice!

Smoothly the enma's katana slide from its sheath, faster then the human eye could perceive. It cut a path through the air as it went, blade flashing through swarm of grasping hands once, then twice, then three times, then four, then five, then again and again and again...!

Just as swiftly, the small girl's weapon slide back into its sheath. The hands fell apart, cut hundreds of times in an instant, blood erupting from the chunks of flesh as they fell to the ground in a gruesome heap.

"Whatever monster you may be, reveal yourself!" Benienma demanded, her hand still on the hilt of her sword. That thing hiding in Mary's shape, whatever it was... it was evil. The aura it held was no longer concealed, it was pure and total evil! "That thing is no Servant!"

The creature that looked like Mary lazily looked over her shoulder, a wide smirk on her face.

"... My my, Judge of Hell... I felt that~" she began, "How exhilarating... the edge of that sword cutting me over and over, ah...~"

The Saber-class Servant narrowed her eyes.

"But I suppose there's no point in this disguise any longer, is there...?"

'Mary' reached up, opening her mouth. Her right hand gripped her upper jaw... and pulled. Slowly, the skin began to peel back, a ugly cracking sound coming as 'Mary's' flesh split at the corners of her mouth.

There was something inside. Green eyes, staring out from within. The figure's left had gripped her lower jaw, as well, splitting it open entirely to reveal what was inside.

Fair skin. Black hair. Dots marking her forehead. It was undeniable the one they looked upon was the same as the one who had informed them of the difference in Mary's behavior in the first place.

"Meeting myself... it's quite a strange experience, isn't it~?" the figure said, cocking her head to one side as she did. "Sessyoin Kiara~"

Arena


"Ah!?"

Her opponent...! She had leaped into the air just like that! Aaah, she'd messed up going for a charge like this, it was hard for her to change direction or adjust her positioning, that long polearm swinging down towards her...!

Twisting her body, Gareth raised her shield upwards, the enemy's weapon slamming into it just as she managed to move. Beneath her, the ground cracked and then shattered all at once, a crater opening beneath the small, armored figured. She gritted her teeth, the shock of the impact rocking her arm as she felt the blow.

The impact was enough to knock her off her feet, to send her rocketing across the arena, slamming into the earth and rolling once, her armor clanking.

But the tip of her lance bit into the ground, as Gareth steadied herself.

No way, a Knight of the Round Table wouldn't be defeated like that!

Wrenching her lance free of the ground, she raised her shield once more. This time she was taking a more defensive stance!

@RolePlayerRoxas
... Well the fact that one of the people she summoned into a giant snake big enough to seemingly cause an earthquake was a little bit surprising, that much was true. So much that Lila had almost been completely knocked off her feet, but she'd managed to catch herself at the last second! Stumbling into view and falling on her face wasn't the kind of introduction she wanted at all, the dragongirl really had to leave an impression and let everyone know just who she was and what was going on, and that meant not floundering about! These were people from all different worlds, whom she had specifically scouted for their power. One of them being able to turn into a giant snake wasn't too shocking at all!

Lila took a deep breath.

This was the beginning of the restoration of Silver Sun!

... Wait, where was the sixth champion? Lila was certain she had summoned six, but she only saw five people fall... Did something go wrong? Was one of them lost?

Oh no, that would be ter-

When a voice came from behind her, a finger tapping her shoulder, Lila let out a very unbecoming squeal of surprise. Her tail swishing wildly, the blonde-haired dragongirl jumped and stumbled forward...

For a moment, she emerged from the bushes, before tripping over her own feet with a yelp and falling flat on her face.

"... Ow ow ow..."

Update planned for today!
@Randomness: Hmmm. Let me think this over a bit.

Also, update comes when everyone intending to has an intro posted.
Mihama Nanako


Before Nanako could even begin to order her food, there was enormous crash from behind her.

The brunette nearly jumped out of her seat, shooting to her feet with wide eyes as she immediately turned around.

"What the hell was that?!" exclaimed the boy behind the counter, leaning forward.

Meltryllis had suddenly seemed to fall from the sky, her knee ramming a shadowy figure into the street hard enough to leave a substantial crater in the asphalt beneath them. Nanako's eyes widened with recognition, and while there wasn't many people in this area at this moment...!

"Ogawa-san, get yourself and the rest of your family to safety! Hurry!"

It was the first thing that entered her mind. The concern for these people that she knew cut through the depression she'd been trapped in ever since her Servant poisoned her. That shadow figure... if it was anything like the others they had encountered, anyone who was even in the area was in danger of potentially being killed.

"Wh-"

"Now! You have to hurry!" she insisted, rising to her feet. Even if Melt hated her... for the sake of the people who could get hurt here, she had to try and offer what little support she could, hurrying out the door as she did and leaving the restaurant behind.

Saber - Arturia Pendragon


As expected. A skilled spearman would never allow the opening blow to allow crucial distance to be closed. Arturia had been fully prepared to see her blade deflected. In fact, it was precisely what she expected. Anything less would have been a disappointing performance from a legendary hero such as Fionn Mac Cumhaill. Her next move was to use the side of her blade, rather then the edge, in her deflection, a shower of sparks flying into the air from the contact of the two weapons!

As she expected, his hit was also experimental and not necessarily intended to make its connection, as her opponent immediately dove to the side. Rotating her body, Arturia immediately readied herself for the next move, the speed of her movement casting dust into the air as she squared up her feet.

"Anything less would be a disappointment, Slayer of Aillen," Arturia responded, a small smile on her face as she watched her dueling partner's movements.

A spearman would keep distance, to use his weapon to its maximum effectiveness. The task at hand for her was to use her weapon to push his out of the way, to eliminate the threat that it posed and get in too close for him to strike properly.

But by no means was that a simple task.

The Saber-class Servant darted forward, immediately meeting her opponent once again. This time, she anticipated the deflection, aiming to slide Excalibur along the length of the spear. She didn't anticipate it being so easily-won, but if she did not begin trying then was hardly fighting her hardest, and this was an opponent who deserved a full display of her skills.




Meanwhile, on the other side of the Arena...

Gareth took a deep breath, raising her lance carefully as she did. This was her opportunity... her chance to fight once again for Camelot! For her King! And for her Master! Aah, her heart was fluttering, she couldn't help but be a little nervous with everyone watching, but the fact that so many people were watching meant she needed to do her best! She'd show everyone how strong she was, what a good knight she was, and she'd fight her hardest!

Gareth thrust her weapon into the air.

"Gareth, Seventh Seat of the Round Table, is entering battle!"

The knight lowered her lance...

And one armored foot slammed down, propelling her body forwards as she raised her shield. Create a wall with one hand, and pierce the enemy with the other! Minus the actual piercing! Definitely no piercing happening today! This was a no-piercing zone!

Part of lance began to spin rapidly, almost like a drill as she closed on her opponent as swiftly as possible!

@1Charak2@DocRock@Raineh Daze: Sorry, forgot mentions in the second part of my post!
Saber - Benienma


This...

Benienma was certain now.

This wasn't right. There was something wrong here. The fact that regular contact with the nun had so suddenly been cut off, the complete and total change in Saikawa Mary's demeanor... this coupled with the unusual circumstances of the summoning, with the strange behavior of the Servant and the failure of the command seals. With the fact that Hijikata Toshizo's disappearance after being mortally injured was somehow abnormal, as well...

There was no way that these matters were all disconnected from one another. There was no possibility that they weren't. But how was another matter. What could have caused Mary's sudden change in demeanor, and her insistence on helping a friend summon a Servant in such a manner? There had to be something more there.

Furrowing her brow, the diminutive Saber placed her hand to her chin as she considered the evidence that been presented to her. One particular potential conclusion stood out to her. If Mary suddenly began to act differently, ceased to act like herself...

"... There are many Servants that possess the ability to disguise themselves dechi," she began, "Those that do are often capable of concealing their nature as Servants as well. If that's the case... Masta, the one in that hospital might not be Saikawa Mary at all!"

@PKMNB0Y@RolePlayerRoxas




"The Berserker Hijikata Toshizo's death was confirmed in a CCF report," the administrator answered, on the note of the potential defeat of the rogue Servant, "Unfortunately, the threat he posed was too great to attempt to take him alive. But this information will be incredibly useful."

She paused for a moment, looking thoughtful.

"This is troubling. It might be for the best to share this information directly. And besides-"

She smirked, shrugging her shoulders as she did.

"I'm bored. I need something to do!"

With a wink, the Servant turned on her heel and beckoned for the small group to follow her. When they reached the tinted glass doors further in...

"Unauthorized-"

"Oh, you know who it is and why I'm here, don't worry about them~" she sated, waving her hand idly. After a few moments of silence, the glass doors slid open, and most surely a great deal of unseen defenses likely permitted entry as well as the Administrator lead the group inside.

The hallways were octagonal, the walls dark gray and illuminated by lights in the ceiling. They were lead to a stairway further down, and then lead to another, and another... Rather then going upwards towards where the administrative duties were conducted, it seemed as if they were being lead further and further down...

"HECATE can communicate through any terminal in this building, but it's for the best that we conduct a direct conversation," she explained, as they finally arrived at an enormous octagonal doorway. After a confirmation of the Administrator's identity, the massive doors slid open, revealing a truly enormous room.

The pathway towards the center extended over a huge, seemingly-bottomless pit. Suspended above them, in the center of the room, was a massive blue-gray orb lined with lighter blue lights. Beneath this orb, was a small platform emitting a golden glow, an interface console at its base.

And on this platform...

There was a little girl. Wearing rather fluffy pajamas, her pale blue hair extending so long it seemed trail off the sides of the platform itself. Her feet dangled off the side of the platform as well, as she kicked them lightly.

Notably, anything that hung from the sides of her sitting area seemed to be far more translucent...

Her head snapped up, and for a moment she only seemed to notice the Administrator.

"Aaah! Crowley! Are you here to talk about the spa-"

The moment she noticed the others, the mysterious little girl froze, a look of absolute horror crossing her face.

"... Kyaaaa!"

All at once, she vanished, leaving behind only a few blue motes of light.

"... Oh, dear, it appears she wasn't expecting anyone else," the administrator commented, shrugging her shoulders with a smile, "It'll only be a moment."

Indeed, seconds later, another figure appeared on the platform. This time, she was a mature, pretty woman, hair tied tightly in a bun and wearing a business suit and pencil skirt, glasses on her face.

"... A-ahem," she began, "Autonomous Artificial Intelligence HECATE, prepared for interface. What service do you require?"
Fanilly would perhaps have tried to respond to Maritza in almost any other scenario. However, this was rendered considerably more difficult by the fact that the oldest knight in the order was nibbling on her neck. It only hurt very slightly, just the barest twinge, but there was no denying the feeling was there.

Fanilly found herself letting out a highly-embarrassed whimper as she slowly opened and shut her mouth over and over, cheeks burning hot. What was this? Why was this happening?! Oh, she knew that due to her nature Tyaethe needed blood, but it had never occurred to her that this was how she was going to get it!

She was only able to pull away, ears still burning from how flustered she was, when Tyaethe released her deliberately.

"D-D-Dame Tyaethe y-y-you... wh-why didn't you..." she stammered and stumbled over her words for a few moments, trembling in the warm water. A part of her, deep down, realized that a vampire feeding in these waters blessed by Mayon's priestesses, would leave no marks on the neck of the one she chose to feed from. After all, such small injuries would be healed quite easily by the water's properties.

".... Y-you could have s-said something..."

The short blonde girl trailed off for a few moments.

"... A-ah, er, Dame Maritza, I'm sorry... er... I... I understand... er..."

Ah... this situation was a mess, wasn't it, Fanilly had become so embarrassed it was hard to properly respond to the naga's words...
