Christina Summeria

Christina was not as strong as her position would lead many to believe. Make no mistake; she was very strong for a human, reaching near the peak of human ability. But her true worth was her keen mind and experience allowed predicting and anticipating enemy moves. And her ingenuity has made her construct many tool and weapons to fight with.

That was Christina’s strength, predication, analysis, and deployment of her tools in the best way possible. She was not strong like Karn, dexterous like that bastard or a combination of the three like Just.

That was her talent, and that is why the “Thrice Blessed Branch” was the best possible weapon for her. It was not as powerful as its brothers, but it reacted, it bent to the users will, to the user’s instinct. So long as the user paid the price that is.

Because of that it was potentially the greatest of the Thrice Blessed.

As the closed in, she saw the subtle movement in the man body, she saw fireball coming from above, she felt from heat from that ball. She saw and her mind processed, her thoughts speed, her heart beat, and around her the world seemed to slow.

The enemy’s blade skid across the spear, gently pushing it to the side, but she could see it, the flow of his movements. And so her will directed the spear. As it was redirected the spear bent in its path, and with it gained new speed.

It coiled, it slithered, and like a python it quickly wrapped itself around his arm with the blade, and then pinned its head to the ground. Locking the arm, and blade in place.

And in that same moment of the spear her body shifted. As she swung her blade upward, she released it as her arm became parallel with the ground. And the blade was released into the air where it collided with the fire ball.

The Truth housed within that blade met thing living flame, and as the blade itself was scorched and charred, the Truth attacked its foe. Something as far from humanity as that beast, there was no greater difference.

And so Truth at its greatest power released by the warping metal blade and blasted away the being of flame.

But yet, Christina was not yet done, for the moment she released the blade, her fist clenched, and completing her movement she stepped forward, her body twisted and spun, and with all that strength she let free a massive punch directly into the man’s chest, the blessings on her gauntlet causing his armor to begin to burn with impossible heat.

"You're not a toy, mister! You're too different from them to be a toy." It was true. No normal thing could nearly catch him in a game of hide and seek after all. He was really fast!

Adjutor

To the teen's surprise, the spear countered his parry by wrapping his arm up along with Tyrfing before stabbing into the ground, completely immobilizing blade and arm alike. At the same time the guard threw her blade up at Laivatain, somehow forcing it to dissipate at the cost of the blade. The more immediate concern, however, was how she was already closing in, fist cocked. With one arm pinned and the other one occupied, Adjutor tossed Valmanway directly at her.

"Fly," he said, completing the Invocation as Valmanway tore through the tiny distance between them at impossible speeds.

Christina Summeria

Christina’s eyes never looked away, never stopped for a moment looking at her opponent. So saw his arm began to move, faster than hers, no doubt, and his grip began to slacken on the dagger.

A throw, the dagger would strike her, and every bone of her body told her she did not want that to happen.

So, just as the arc of the arm finished, and the dagger was released, just at the moment the word began to move from her lips, her mind went blank, and her body reacted.

Her knees bent, they bent until she was more or less sitting. And she heard a boom. Her ears rang and the pain was felt. But she blocked it off, and she moved. Her arm, once moving to punch her foe met the ground, giving her another place of balance. Her body and balance shifted, her body bent and spun. And with one leg on the ground, and her free hand giving her needed balance, her leg shot up and her kick found his jaw.

Adjutor

It seemed impossible, but she dodged it. She dodged Valmanway at the closest thing he could get to point-blank range. Then he was knocked out of his momentary shock by an armored foot crashing into the underside of his Armored head, knocking him onto his back. With no time to lay there dazed, Adjutor took the opportunity to use his free hand to pull the spear out of the ground and extricate his bound arm before running away with all possible speed.

Sakura

Sakura’s mind continued to spin. It spun, around and around, faster and faster until she felt like she was going to hurl. WhatHAPPENEDWhAtHappeNed‽ She couldn’t process this, it was too alien. Too wrong. “It doesn’t make sense, why’d he do that!” She screamed at the top of her lungs for the world to hear. Or, she would have, had she not been busy viciously sucking air into her body with painful gasps. Her head hurt, her throat hurt, her chest hurt, everything hurt. Everything! But more than that, there was something else that hurt far more, that caused pain more intense than anything she'd felt before.

Then she felt Shirou kiss her and whisper her some comforting words.

Mia

Mia moved though the cityscape with incredible speed, her form like a shooting star between buildings and the sky, a sound of jingling bells accompanying her. Silver sat on her back as she scanned the city for her papa, her wonderful papa.

Eventually, she came to a crater, it reached of death, ash, and numerous other things… she honestly somewhat liked it, even though it was a bit scary. But it was really pretty, with the shiny ground.

Mia was going to look closer when she saw a prone figure on a building.

Her heart thumped.

Man… a man in a jacket.

Her heartrate increased and her eyes widened.

Red and white hair.

She began to tremble.

He was hurt, he was hurt, he was hurt, HE WAS HURT!

Mia body moved; the ground beneath her exploded into dust as she leapt with all her might and speed. She landed close to the body, and then she ran over to it, getting on her knees and her hands were placed on his back, and she softly nudged him.

She ignored the heat she felt from his skin as she softly pushed against him.

“Shirou? Shirou…?” she nudged him a bit, her voice pitifully soft.

And when he would not respond, she said one more thing, her voice so silent it could be confused for the wind.

“Papa…?”

Doktor Faustus

Faust flew up to the building on his large black crow, nervously ignoring the immense prana signature nearby and the disgusting crater. He really didn’t like being here right now, but he had no choice. That fool of a man had gotten himself into a situation way over his head and now was lying on the roof dying. As he approached, he saw a small girl pathetically nudging him repeatedly. He quickly cast a shielding spell as he touched down on the roof in front of them, briefly covering them in a massive shadow as he passed over.

Faust got off quickly, and tried to shoo the girl off him. “Young lady, I’m a doctor, and I need you to get off him so I can treat him.” He said in an authoritative voice.

Christina Summeria

As her kick connected, she immediately shifted her weight and tried to rise herself to her two legs.

‘Try’ being the key word.

The moment she rose to a stand and took a step, a wave a massive vertigo hit her, and she tumbled to her left side. It seems the shockwave has done more then make the world just seem like nothing more than a ringing and hurt like hell.

It seems it also destroyed her sense of balance. At least for a bit.

From the ground she looked over to her foe, only to see him burst into a run towards the buildings. He she lost track of him he couldn’t stop him from escaping into the shadows. And so she swung her right arm, and the Snake shot towards the back of her foe.

Better dead then escaping.

But then the unexpected happened. A flash of white shot through the air and struck the spear head, intercepting its movement. Christina could only stare, she couldn’t believe her eyes.

An arrow, an odd metal arrow. She knew that kind of arrow. She turned her head to the side, only to see a familiar figure walk up to her, allowing the enemy to escape into the buildings.

“What did you interfere for!?” She said, her voice coming out like slight yelling due to her momentary deftness.

The man simply walked up to her before removing the spear from her grip.

The segmented segments snapped back to the hilt, the Snake becoming a Spear yet again. “You know why. You are in no condition to continue fighting at the moment.” He mumbled annoyed, watching as the enemy left. He was right, no sense of hearing distorted cues for danger, the brushing of wind, the crackling of  flames, the scraping of steel. Not to mention her balance was shot, there was no way for her to really fight him anymore. If he reacted, and that one showed he was more then capable of to a surprise attack when he avoided her earlier spear strike, the fight would not be ended with that.

And then she would be a sitting duck. 

He should have just captured her completely when she had the chance, a chance which was presented multiple times, instead she let her emotions get the better of her. And she hated herself for it.

“It won’t matter after tonight. There was no real information to be gained here; you shot the gun Christina, that’s unlike you.” He sighed dramatically, “And here I was, waiting all nice and quiet at my checkpoint. I guess I know what took you so long now, huh?”

Christina just glared. And then she began to cough, small flecks of red covering the ground in front of her face. But from anyone use to it, it was not serious,.

The man sighed as he helped her into a standing position, throwing one of her arms over his shoulder, and after collecting the metal arrow he escorted her to a more secure area, a place where he could let her recover the slight damage she took.

Christina frowned as the man helped her away, knowing the enemy was gone, "I knew I should have been carrying around all my gear..."



Mia

Her eyes remained fixated on Shirou, on her hurt Papa. Her eyes were moist. And then a man appeared, she didn’t care, and then he walked over to her and tried to get her away from papa.

“Young lady, I’m a doctor, and I need you to get off him so I can treat him.” His voice was an order.

But Mia only heard one thing, that he was a doctor, her eyes spun to his and look him in the eyes, her moist, and glowing, red eyes staring into his.

“Fix Shirou.” She ordered him in response to his order, stepping out of the way for him, but still holding onto his hand.

If he was lying he would die. That simple.

Adjutor

Adjutor ran full out for the buildings, moving as fast as his Reinforced legs could carry him.

Come on, move. She won't stay down for long.

Somehow, Adjutor made it into the cover of the buildings seemingly before she could recover. He wasn't feeling lucky enough to check behind him to find out for certain anyway.

Slipping into the shadows, Adjutor all but collapsed, Reinforcement fading as he tries to collect himself. Then he remembered the journal.

A moment of holy terror soon passed as a quick pat down produced the small tome, Adjutor turning to the page where he'd been keeping the notes on the disaster site to find a jumbled mass of scrawls and chickenscratch.

Goddamit, that's going to take forever to fix.

Could be a lot worse.

Regardless, the mess started to reorganize itself into something readable, even if it was in a strange combination of Orthosian and English, as Adjutor started to go over the encounter in his head.

Sakagami Kenzo

"Haha. Well, I guess I am too charming to be a toy. But I don't think you have the right mindset there, kiddo." Kenzo sighed, rubbing his temple.

"Well, I rather not beat you into submission. Besides, do I look like a sitter? Whatever... I need you to make a teeny tiny promise."

Good Guy Faust

As soon as the young girl moved off Shirou, Faust got to work. Her presence here was immensely strange, but that was a matter to be worried about later. His gamble had worked, now was the time for action.

The first thing he did was cast a spell forcing his body to remain functioning, to keep the blood pumping and the oxygen circulating. Immediately afterwards, he cast a second spell intended to rapidly lower his temperature to survivable levels. As soon as confirming it had worked as intended, he pulled out a vial of purplish liquid, sitting him up and pouring it down his throat, taking care it went down the correct way.

After he was done, he addressed the young child with the red eyes. “Young lady, I need to take this man to a better place to rest. He’ll be fine now, but this is no place for him to convalesce. I assume you want to stay with him?”

Medaka

Medaka burst through the doors of the doors of the room she was in and began walking impatiently through the large hospital hallway.  She had to find out the truth.  There was no way he could have died so easily.  She burst through the hallway doors into the lobby area.  Then, she looked around, scanning for possible authority figures or police officers that she recognized from the station.

The phantasm tilted its head. "What promise, mister?"

Within the floor Ghost Child frowned at the words 'beat you into submission'. The bad people did that too.

"Pleeeease, please please please with a pretty pretty please. P-L-E-A-S-E don't break toys any longer. Can you do it? Please? Pinky swear?" asked Kenzo, lowering his head to the ground and begging to his best abilities.
