...Beautiful night, isn't it...?
Squad
Woah, easy - we're not gonna hurt you, alright?
Woodlands
That's true. But - there's still the chance for you to impede the conclusion of the War. I can't allow that.
-smirks-
In short... I have no reason not to kill you.

-pauses-
...Well, we're headed there too, as a matter of fact! Wanna come with?
Temple
That depends entirely on your actions, Master of Shielder.
-eyes Shielder's shield with a smirk-
Unfortunately... I cannot. I have been ordered to guard this gate. To pass, you will have to defeat me.
Woodlands
Hah, I see. Then it looks like we've talked long enough.
-hurls Kanshou and Bakuya suddenly at Homura as he rushes to close the distance between the two of them-
-two more copies of it appear in his hands as he dashes-

Great...! Yeah, that's right, we'd better get going.

-strangely enough, the cave is illuminated already-
-probably from some kind of bioluminescent moss or something-
-as they go on, they start to feel a strange, cloying pressure around them-
-it almost feels lively-
Woodlands
-cannot pursue at this juncture - and so instead brings both of his blades down in one arc for Sayaka's sword-
Temple
-waits patiently - he's got time-

(Blades clash at a deadlock, both of Dark Archer's swords being held up by just one of Sayaka's thanks to some buffing from Armament Haki and concentration on Sayaka's part. She attempts to break the deadlock with a burst of energy to swing the swords away and throw DA's defense wide open.)
(Homura gets back on her feet and looks back at the situation, MP7 out looking out for those swords DA threw at her and perform point-defense if she can.)

-the cave opens up into a larger cavern the deeper they go-
-it's too dark to make out the ceiling - but it's ten meters high at least-
-they then happen across-

I look forward to it, knight of the shield.
-unsheathes that katana from his back-
Woodlands
-Rather than try to force her back, Archer's swords disintegrate as he rolls w/ the metaphorical punch, already projecting another pair-
I am the bone of my sword...!
-those swords come whirling back around like boomerangs towards Homura - better watch out-

Sayaka: Archer, what are you...how...but the Law of Cy-
Homura: (slight turn of head towards Sayaka) Sayaka, save your breath. This is not the Archer we knew. (Dark Archer) I am a Master no more. And neither is she, from what I can tell in the past several months. Killing either of us will do nothing to further the progress of the Grail.
