The figure was tall, looming over the three of them from the top of the chains. Long lavender hair trailed in the wind, escaping from underneath a tattered black cloak. Just above a pair of strange, glowing yellow eyes the hood of the cloak had a strange marking on it, resembling a blood splatter against the dark material. A black dress tightly hugged her form, leaving her muscular legs exposed. Red circular tattoos trailed down her left leg, with a pair of black metal boots covering her feet. Resting on her shoulder in one hand, was a sickled bladed scythe, the metal of the blade glinting in the flickering light of the fires.

The sound of metal grinding against stone sounded out as Mash and Lily shifted themselves to stand in front of Olga, their grips tightening on their weapons as their grips tightened on their weapons. A chuckle escaped from the servant on the chains as she crouched down a little, tilting her head as she examined the three before her. "A master with two servants? I know I haven't seen you all before, I would remember prey so young and fresh."

Olga stood, frozen under the servants hungry gaze as Mash's eyes roamed the surrounding area before returning to the servant. "I see the servant, but I can't see her master anywhere!"

Snapping out of the frozen shock and fear, she raised her arm to point a slightly trembling finger at the servant, bracing the arm with her other arm. "R-Remember, this is a world gone mad. A servant without a master is probably the least weird thing we'll see here."

A small chuckle escaped the servant as she straightened out and walked along the chains, balancing herself perfectly. Reaching the end, she stepped off and landed on the ground, striding over to one of the statues even as the group shifted to keep her to their face. The statue was of a young woman in a school uniform, with a bow in her hair. Lily decided to speak, eyes narrowing as her stance shifted. "Why do this? Why kill all these humans? What did you have to gain from it?"

A small chuckle escaped her lips as she leaned in and inspected the statue of the girl. "Oh what's the matter, don't approve of it? Well too bad, these humans entered my hunting grounds, and anything in my hunting grounds are mine to do as I please. That includes taking what joy I can out of their fear." She finished her inspection of the statue and patted it on the head, before stepping away with a small twirl to face the group. "And well, today I shall have three more statues for my garden~"

"We have to fight her." Mash and Olga's eyes turned to look over at Lily as she spoke, her grip tightening on her sword as she stared at the servant dead on. "She isn't going to let us go, and besides… Honor demands that we don't allow a monster such as her to be allowed to go free."

"Do you two think you can take her?" The servant chuckled as Olga asked the question. Lily and Mash looked at each other again for a moment before nodding at each other. The two shifted their stances to a more attack oriented position, as the enemy servant chuckled and shifted her own stance as well.

"You two think you can take me? Cute, considering as far as I can tell, the one with the shield has never fought before, and you're not much more experienced blondie." The scythe shifted, being twirled around a few times before coming to rest in a two handed grip. "Well, as your superior, I do believe I'll have to teach you. Be careful what you say and do, as once the word fight has been said, it has already begun!"

With those final words, she crouched and leapt forward, seeming to vanish from the speed of her movement. Mash's shield came up just in time as she seemed to reappear in front of her, scythe coming down onto it like a lightning bolt. The resulting sound and blast from the clash was like thunder, Olga raising an arm against it. Mash staggered slightly under the blow, gritting her teeth against the force. The servant landed fully on the shield, the lance flipping around so that the spear tip on its other end was pointed towards Mash.

With a yell, Lily exploded from her own position with a burst of prana, Caliburn carving a golden arc through the air as it swung at the servant. Using the shield as a launch pad, she kicked off of it to avoid the deadly arc of Caliburn. Even as she spun through the air, the blade of the scythe came in to slash at Lily. The blade of Caliburn continued its arc through the air, the swing turning into a parry as it met with the scythe and knocked it off course. Twirling mid-air, the enemy servant landed on her feet and charged forward again, spear point leading the way this time.

Lily was put on the defensive as she unleashed a flurry of thrusts at her, Caliburn being forced to move in a series of tight motions to keep it from piercing her. "Be careful young one, my lance is the Lance of Immortal Killing! Any wound this lance delivers cannot be healed, through any means! Even a miracle that healed your entire body would not save you from forever being a failure of a servant!"

The scythe twirled about to come in for a large overhead strike, and Lily stepped back. To make room for Mash to come from the side with a yell, ramming her shield into Lancer's side. Her eyes widened as she was sent flying from the bash, twirling mid air to land feet first against the wall. It cracked as she went to a knee against it from the force of the blow, and fully broke as she kicked off of it and through the air. As she went, a hand went to her hair and flicked it out, the strands turning into snakes for a moment before turning into chains. "You're a bit too fresh for my nerves, be entangled in my hair!"

The chains shot out and around, coming towards the three of them as even more wrapped between various bits of scenery to contain them. Olga yelped as she saw several coming right for her, stepping back as Mash appeared before her. The sound of steel striking steel filled the air as the shield came down on top of the chains, snapping the links. On the opposite side, Lily danced a beautiful dance with Caliburn, the blade slashing through several chains as she avoided the ones coming at her. All of the chains broken on the floor, they turned their attention towards Lancer as she stood on top of one of the chain walls.

The servants squared off again, Olga nervously looking at the chains surrounding them. This… this was bad. She could send as many chains as they wanted at them, and because they had to protect her, they couldn't engage. They would stand a chance if only she wasn't there… A plan formed in her mind and she shouted out, turning to start running to one of the nearby buildings. "Lily, engage her, Mash, clear me a way!"

Lily shot off towards Lancer, the street shattering underneath her feet. The sound of steel meeting steel sounded out as their blades clashed for a moment. The chains moved to try and ensnare her, and another burst of prana sent her hurtling into the sky away from them. Lancer leapt up after her, beginning a strange aerial dance between the two.

On the ground, more chains swarmed towards Mash and Olga. Darting forward as Olga leapt over one chain that went for her leg, Mash jumped up and brought the edge of her shield down hard onto the chains that made up the wall. The heavy metal of the shield tore through the links with the shriek of steel on steel, flying away as the shield hit the ground and created a shock-wave. Charging past her, Olga ran deeper into the building while shouting over her shoulder. "Go help Lily! I'll be fine!"

Mash didn't get a chance to argue, as she whirled around to block the strikes of the chains that were still chasing them. One managed to snake its way around her shield and wrap around her arm. It tugged on her arm and she yelped, stumbling in that direction for a moment. Letting go of her shield with one hand, she grabbed a hold of the chain and pulled on it with all her might. A pained groan sounded out as a link broke and the whole chain went limp, leaving her alone for the moment.

Her head whipped towards the sound of clashing steel, spotting Lily get sent hurtling to the ground like an ivory comet. She rolled out of the cloud of dust kicked up by her impact, several of the chains chasing her being sliced by Caliburn as she went. Mash darted over to her side and raised her shield to block a few of the chains coming at her from behind. Lancer landed on the ground shortly after, a small frown on her face as she stared towards the two of them. Without taking her eyes off of her, Lily spoke. "Ready?"

Mash gave her a nervous glance, before setting her features and nodding. A small smile appeared on Lily's face, and the two charged towards the enemy.

Lancer growled and charged forward in turn, the chains flying in with her. Falling back slightly, Lily allowed Mash to meet Lancer's charge head on. Scythe arced down and shield bashed upwards, the two colliding with a thunderous bang. Medusa bounced off the shield, flying over top of it to start thrusting with the spear point towards Mash. Caliburn arced upwards to intercept, knocking the thrust aside as Mash shifted the shield in a wild swing to knock away some of the chains coming towards them.

Landing, Lancer charged forward to thrust at Lily. Stepping back, Lily got out of the way as Mash followed through the swing she did on the chains. The shield slammed into the ground just before the point of the lance slammed into the center of the shield, skidding off to the side. Several chains came in at once at Mash's back, only to end up severed as Caliburn tore through them. With a yell, Mash lifted the shield and charged forward, slamming it into her and sending her falling backwards.

Rolling onto her hands, she flipped onto her feet with a growl. Lily was on her before she could charge at them again, bursts of prana turning Caliburn into a golden blur. For arguably the first time in the fight, Lancer was on the defensive. Her scythe became a blur as well to match the furious assault as she was driven back. Chains shot towards the pair, only to be blocked and smashed to pieces by Mash with her shield.

Flipping backwards, Lancer dodged out of the way of a slash from Caliburn as her foot lashed out. The tip of her boot caught Lily in the chin and sent her reeling backwards. A grin came across Lancer's face as she lunged forward to try bring her scythe's blade down around her neck. Mash intervened, the shield appearing between the two as before. The edge of the scythe snaked around the rim of the shield and caught, Mash getting caught off guard by the unexpected show of force.

The shield slipped from her grip and tumbled to the ground, leaving Mash stumbling back. Lancer grinned and brought the spear point of the scythe forward in a thrust at her. Lily's foot came out and slammed into the back of Mash's ankle at the same time, knocking her backwards. The point of the spear passed the smallest of fractions from her face as she fell. Landing with a small 'ooph', she could only watch as Lancer transitioned the thrust into a downward strike that Lily parried as she stepped back forward.

Mash rolled to the side and manifested the shield into her hand again, bringing it around to smash at some chains that came at her. This… this was moving so fast. Lancer and Lily seemed to be moving more like blurs, Lily only managing to keep up with Lancer's supernatural speed thanks to the bursts of prana that sped her up and just good instincts. She could keep the chains off of them, but they were stuck in a stalemate. Something had to change.

Her eyes locked onto the shield in her hand for a moment. There… there was definitely something she could do. They couldn't risk actually getting cut by that lance, but… there was something there. Something she could do, that was just buried beneath the surface. Her eyes turned back to the fight, and she darted forward to block some chains that came at Lily from the side. Their eyes met for a moment, and it was enough to convey that she had a plan.

Lancer surged forward again and this time, Mash charged forward to meet her instead of Lily. The blade of the scythe came down and snagged on the outside edge of the shield, but this time Mash carried forward with the motion. The metal of the shield slammed into Lancer and sent her backwards into a handspring to her feet. Just in time for Lily to come leaping over Mash, Caliburn glowing bright for a massive, reckless overhead strike. The blade of the scythe came hurtling in from the side to split Lily in twine, as Mash focused in on Lily.

Come on, come on, come on! It was just beneath the surface, the instinctual knowledge of what she's supposed to be able to do as a servant! If she didn't access it Lily would die! With one final push, the barrier broke and the knowledge came to her. One hand came up to point towards Lily, and she focused. Lily's form seemed to warp ever so slightly, the edges of her body growing rougher, almost chalk like. Just in time, as the blade of the scythe came in faster than Caliburn… and passed through her body as if it wasn't even there, leaving no harm. The same could not be said for Caliburn as it completed its arc.

A shriek of anguish cut through the sounds of battle as Lancer stumbled back away from the two, one arm removed cleanly at the shoulder. Foul purple blood spurted from the stump, staining the concrete below. Mash gave a dry swallow as she stared at the wound, and Lily advanced to finish her off. Lancer's eyes turned to face the two of them, flashing with a violet light as she screamed. "ENOUGH OF THIS GAME!"

Lily and Mash staggered as pain wracked their bodies, a terrible pressure pressing down on them. Lancer darted forward and brought the scythe around in a spin, Lily barely managing to bring Caliburn up to block the strike. The strike sent her flying in her weakened state, tumbling and skipping across the ground for several feet before she managed to stab the blade into the ground to halt her roll. Mash tried stumbling forward to help, several chains suddenly taking advantage of the difficulties to strike. Two for each arm, one for each leg, and one wrapping around her throat.

Spitting some blood from her mouth, Lily pushed herself to her feet while panting. She stumbled slightly before steadying herself into a slightly swaying stance. A ferocious snarl had covered Lancers face, as she slowly stalked towards Lily with her one arm. "You… You're tougher than I expected. But, in the end, you're still prey. Even if I can't turn you to stone, I can still slit your throat and drink the blood that pours out."

Mash struggled against the chains binding her, gasping for breath as the one around her neck tightened. Lily gritted her teeth and prepared to begin to fight again, before both of them heard Olga's voice call out in their head. CLOSE YOUR EYES NOW!

From the building behind Lancer, a small chunk of rubble came flying through the air towards Lancer's head. She turned with a dismissive snort, bringing the scythe around to smash it from the air. Her eyes widened slightly as she saw the rune that had been engraved into the rubble, but it was too late. The scythe smashed into it, reducing the rock to bits… and activating the rune carved into it. An incredible flash of light and burst of sound escaped.

She let loose a pained shriek at the sudden attack on her senses. Stumbling back with her eyes screwed shut, she could feel Lily burst forward from her position. It wasn't enough, as the blade of the scythe swung towards her and passed close enough to her head to slice a few hairs. The blade of Caliburn did not make such an error, as it found its way between her ribs and into her heart. A faint gasp escaped Lancer's lips, and the scythe fell from her gasp.

Bringing a leg up, Lily kicked Lancer off the blade while pulling it out with a wet noise. She stumbled back, the one hand she had coming up, clutching at the wound. It came back to her eye level, drenched with the foul purple that pumped through her veins. Turning her gaze towards Lily, her eyes drifted over her shoulder, towards a certain statue. Her features softened, before she fell backwards. She faded into motes of purple energy before hitting the ground.

The chains around the battlefield followed suit. Gasping for breath, Mash fell backwards onto her behind as she rubbed at her throat. Lily stuck the tip of Caliburn into the ground and leaned onto it, panting slightly. One hand came up to poke at her ribs, wincing slightly as a lance of pain ran through her. The two looked at each other for a moment, before turning their eyes up to where the rubble had come from. Olga grinned tiredly down at them from a third story window, leaning against the wall.

After a moment, all three of them let out a collective sigh of relief at the end of the battle. Moving to get back together and tend to their wounds, they never never noticed the blue clad figure standing atop the bridge. Leaning onto a roughly carved wooden staff, he hummed slightly to himself as he watched them. "Not bad kids… Not bad."

A/N: So, this finally comes out. I think the first major fight deserves its own chapter, eh? Even if it took over a month to come out… Sue me, College takes up a lot of my time. This fight is a lot longer than both what the game would have been, and what it was like in the movie. Mostly because well… the fight in the movie was kind of anti-climatic. I just hope I got the details right! Anyway, hope you enjoy.
