Viserys lets out a low whistle at the Heaven Piercer's demonstration, applauding once it's finished.
"Shor's bones... If Baldur somehow isn't enough to defeat Farandare, that might just be exactly what we need!"
Nicole uses Olympus' Wrath to parry Shanna's lance, engaging her in a Blade Lock. In retaliation, she attempts to kick her away before noticing the arrival of the Einherjar's reinforcement.
"Welp, to quote a certain admiral: it's a trap!"
Sighing, the Arcane half-dragon flourishes her Zeus-forged sword while charging an Arcane Beam in her free hand, readying herself for the coming onslaught.

Pent reacts instantly, casting a wall of Elfire in front of them to burn the arrows to shreds.
"I am also the Etrurian Mage General.", he says. "You'll need better tactics than shooting arrows from close up to get past my magic."
Then the bolt's explosion hits him and knocks him off of his feet.
"... like that, I guess.", he mutters.
Louise then fires an arrow at Takumi, while Klein fires one at Oboro.
Hector, noticing that Lilina is being aimed at, charges for her location, stopping right in front of her and slamming Armads down on the ground to cause a very slight tremor. Slight, but strong enough that Kellam may fall back over again.
"Shoot at my daughter, girl, and you'll regret it.", he warns Noire.
The other fighters begin to close in more. The group will find themselves with less and less space to fight in. If nothing happens to change the tides...
The kick works, and Shanna starts falling down. When Miledy tries to sneak attack Nicole from behind, she's suddenly shot down by an arrow and turns back into a card midfall, the arrow having been courtesy of Clarisse
◊.
"The cavalry is here, Nicole.", she says, looking up at her.
Meanwhile, Karel shows no mercy, going in to punish Ryoma for being distracted, attacking him with his Brave Sword.
However, his strike is then blocked by none other than Anna
◊, who seemed to have come out of nowhere.
"Never take your eyes off of Karel!", Anna says to Ryoma when Karel pulls his blade back. "He isn't named the 'Sword Demon' for nothing."
Lekain turns to Niagara, looking pleased.
"And here part of me thought you might've drawn a line here, but I'm glad to see I underestimated you. You have potential. Perhaps even..."
He doesn't finish that sentence, but does look thoughtful. Naesala's quick, shocked glance implies that he may know what Lekain was about to say.
Then they see Anna's and Clarisse's arrival, and Lekain perks up.
"There she is! Oh, my mission will be a success regardless, but if they manage to capture her-"
He then pauses.
"Wait... down there, that's... Duke Tanas!?"
Naesala looks down too, and starts laughing when he sees Oliver
◊ suddenly appear on the field.
"Now what is all of this fighting for? Hm... how uncouth. Perhaps I should-"
He then notices and recognizes Nicole.
"Oh my, wait just a moment. The lovely Manakete Nicole is in trouble? Oh, no, this simply will not do. I must assist her, yes."
Oliver approaches the battle in all his radiant glory.

Awkeff smiles as she lowers Auriel's Bow. "I'm glad you approve, Bron Lokaliin. Regardless, now that that's done, and the plan continues growing... I think I'm rather tired from all the events that have unfolded today. I would like to go take a nap back home."
Roy begins charging a Flare Blade while his Einherjar isn't doing anything.
"Well that's annoying." The big guy leaps into the fray with surprising speed and grace, swinging the bayonet at the end of his armament down at Pent.

"A wizard is never late, nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to."Emboldened by the renforts, Garon shoot a stream of black lightning from Siegfried, aiming to attack Canas with it. He then leap up and attempts to smack the Druid with a combined slash from Bolverk and Siegfried, which means trouble.
If he succeed, then he does a great wind-up gesture, akin to Darius, and does a spinning attack with Bolverk, attempting to slay as many as he can.
Xander follows the fray, attempting to assist his father by charging and slashing at those on his side. This means that Saizo is alone with Hector, though he seems to be considering an attack on the Demon's Blade.
However, he, once more, merely attempt to jump back and fade into the thunderstorm since chaos is happening everywhere ! Noire, meanwhile, keep her bow on Hector, not intimidated !
Then tell her to keep her hands off my father ! she says, her tone fierce.
This is weird. notices Kellam, as he attempts to get up from his circle of being knocked over and stuff.
Takumi deflect the arrow and so does Oboro, who attempt get close, with Takumi sending off two arrows to try to assist his retainers
Oh... reinforcements...
Emmeryn attacks at the targets struck by the Nohrians with Elfire, using the immense wall of fire to attempt to attack !
I'm sorry...
Ryoma thank Anna for helping him, and smiles at the reinforcements.
I am getting too distracted... apologies ! Allow me to live up to my title now ! You need not to waste your time saving me from my own mistakes !
Once Anna is in the clear, Ryoma finally decide to take the lead... by activating Astra, attacking about five times over at incredible speed, attempting to put the swordsman on the defensive before the fifth strike : a powerful, quick downward slash !
...
Niagara does nothing as the action goes on, though he tilt his head in interest every now and then. He eventually glances at Olivier.
This is going to show up in my nightmares. He comments. Still, let's make sure that no one is going to break in, in secret. It seems unlikely but you need some paranoia if you want to live on, sometimes.
He shudders as he take a last look at Olivier and step backward.

Roy grits his teeth, then suddenly tries to stab the other Roy in the shoulder.
Pent, just getting back up, is taken by surprise by the newcomer's attack yet again, and this time it costs him his life, as he gets a fatal slash wound in the chest. Louise has no time to even notice, as she gets struck by one of Takumi's arrows as well, losing her life too. She leaves the coveted White Gem behind, which is worth 10,000 gold in their world.
Canas casts Flux in a strange way, using the dark magic to somehow block the lightning through pure energy.
Then he gets double-smacked however, and since his defenses are pretty low... well, he's dead. A Secret Book is left behind for Garon to pick up. Garon's swinging attack then gets Nino killed too, prompting Jaffar to suddenly leap towards Garon, knives in hand.
"... die."
His aura glows red for a moment as he activated Lethality. Should his next strike connect, Garon will instantly bite it.
Xander's attack gets blocked by Raven, who then tries to retaliate with his Hand Axe, only to get burned and wounded by Emmeryn's Elfire. Karel, meanwhile, jumps over Anna to try to get to Ryoma, only to get caught in Astra and sent hurling back after the five hits, his Brave Sword shattering.
However... while badly wounded, he still gets back up, grinning.
"As long as we can both hold a sword, this fight continues."
Going back to the Wo Dao, his aura immediately spikes again, signaling a critical hit. This guy gets a lot of them.
Hector, meanwhile, looks surprised.
"... This is your father?", he asks, gesturing to Kellam. Lilina sighs.
"Dad, you're being rude."
"Hey, I'm just ask-"
He then pauses, noticing Anna and recognizing her. At one point, before she lost most of the Einherjar cards, she'd summoned him once. He remembers helping her stop a thief.
He looks uncertain, hesitating now. The perfect opening.
Lyn, meanwhile, swiftly dodges Nicole's attack, immediately attempting to retaliate, which would have probably worked were it not for Anna tackling her out of the way.
"Lyndis is extremely agile, Nicole. She's most likely faster than you. Try to focus on the airborne enemies, you're the only one of us who can fly.", she advises as Lyn is already trying to wrestle her Levin Sword out of her hand, to little success.
Eliwood attempts to charge at the newcomer, only for our one true savior Oliver to intervene
, stunning him with Nosferatu.
Lilina attempts to heal Karel with Physic, only to have the staff get shot out of her hands by Clarisse.
Clarine and Klein attack Takumi and Oboro respectively with the Mulagir bow and the Aureola tome.
Shanna, Miledy and Vaida charge for Nicole now, while Fae starts flying towards Einherjar!Roy, wanting to see if she can't help him.
Dorcas lunges for Garon in an attempt to crit him with a Killer Axe.
... but the critical doesn't proc regardless of whether the attack hits or not.
The ground then begins to shake as Athos charges up a use of Forblaze. Which is terrifying, seeing the kind of damage a child was able to do with that tome. Now imagine an experienced sage...
Just as he prepares to cast the spell upon their enemies, however, his magic energy completely vanishes. Near him, another unit has appeared...
It's Kishuna
◊, the Magic Seal. Since Athos is standing too close to him, his aura is locking Athos' magic away.
Serra, the only one who hasn't done anything yet, was actually about to use Fortify to heal all of the Einherjar. Luckily, she too is close to Kishuna.
Neutral Unit has appeared!
Kishuna (Magic Seal), Level 1.
- Weapons: Nothing
- 60 HP, 10 Str, 0 Mag, 7 Skl, 25 Spd, 0 Lck, 15 Def, 8 Res
(Defeat this unit within three turns to further his sidequest)
"What!? Nergal's failed minion!? I thought he was dead!" , Lekain says, annoyed.
"Why so angry? You'll still get results, right?", Naesala says with a smarmy, teasing tone. Lekain just grumbles but has to agree that Naesala is indeed right.

Roy stumbles back, growling at his counterpart. He attempts a sideways sword sweep.
There's a sonic boom, followed by Glali Nik diving foot-first at Clarine.
Soon after, Ike lunges into the fray, attempting to nail Hector with a Quick Draw, followed by a surprising third sight: Little Mac, who does a leaping Jolt Haymaker at Shanna if possible.
The golden man searches for a new target. He opts to shoot at Kishuna.

"A wizard is never late, nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to."Ha ! I'm getting a lot of kil-
When Jaffar attacks, Garon seems confident in just blocking it but then panic and block at the last moment, using both his weapons to do so. He seems freaked out enough by Lethality to immediately retaliate with an attempted cross attack again.
If he succeed in besting Jaffar, then he goes for a sudden wide axe swing once more ! It seems that he's using Trample, which might allow him to best Dorcas !
What happened to him ?!
I put a blade in his body, haha !
Xander attack and fight Raven. When the latter get all burnt up, he goes for a stab at his body, not wanting to get so easily overshadowed.
Takumi and Oboro are struck by the attacks and get wounded pretty badly as a result, though Emmeryn step in and attack their aggressors with Thoron, though she has only one staff to use to heal either the royal or his retainer.
Noire decide to forego "honor" and strike with her bow at Hector... and by that, I mean that she shoot a vengeance-fueled arrow !
W-w-well, he's still my dad !
I'm just glad anyone is noticing me at all. he says, getting up and readying his spear.
Ryoma smiles at his foe's determination and prepares to attack agan.
When the ground shakes, everyone looks concerned, but thankfully, Kishuna saves the day unwittingly. This allows Saizo to leap out of the shadows, shuriken in hands. He lob two at Serra and Athos, and attempt to strike Kishuna with a tiny katana of a sort.
Die. is all he bother to say.
...
No answer from Niagara. He's taking his guard duty seriously and excepting that his two allies will be courteous enough to inform him if something big happen.

Nodding to Anna, Nicole rushes towards Shanna, Miledy and Vaida, then fires a potent lightning blast from Olympus' Wrath at her assailants. Regardless of her attack's success, she greets Nik with a grin.
"I was beginning to think you weren't gonna make it, Glali!"
Edited by IchigoMontoya on Oct 4th 2019 at 6:59:42 AM
Roy manages to block with the Durandal, though loses his balance for a moment.
Fae then arrives though and tries to ram the real Roy away with her body weight, transforming into her dragon form during her attack.
Clarine, meanwhile, gets punted into oblivion by Nik.
Hector, who was distracted, gets hit by Ike and harshly lands on the ground. He does, however, get back up again, fire in his eyes.
"Now that's a hit I can respect. Bring it on!"
He charges at Ike, lightning sourcing through the Armads as he spins it above his head like a helicopter propeller. Which seems weird, sure... but this move is, in fact, the prelude to an Armads Critical Hit...
Shanna and Miledy are knocked down by Nicole, but Vaida remains strong, giving chase to Nicole.
"C'mon, change into a dragon already. This won't be fun if you don't.", she chuckles. "Give me a challenge I may actually lose."
A ballista shot, probably from a hiding Jake, is fired into the air, aiming at Vaida, but she effortlessly dodges it without even looking. ... Which should tell Nicole that this one may be a bit tougher than most Einherjar.
Due to having been knocked down, Shanna gets hit by Little Mac's Haymaker, and it's enough to defeat her.
Kishuna gets shot by the golden man, then hit by the shuriken. Surprisingly though, he remains standing, now looking in the man's and Saizo's direction and appearing quite frightened.
Karel charges at Ryoma once more, slashing rather wildly, constantly threatening to deal critical hits against the Hoshidan prince.
Jaffar jumps backwards to avoid Garon's attack, too agile and nimble to be caught so easily. Dorcas is less lucky and gets meme'd to death critically hit by Bolverk, meaning the end for him.
Jaffar narrows his eyes.
"Powerful. Destructive. ... it'll be quick."
He then throws two daggers at Garon's head, after which he pulls out a Killing Edge and attempt to leap at him and stab him through his torso armor.
Raven gets struck by Xander's attack and is near death. Emphasis on near, as he gathers his last strength to try to attack Xander with a Killing Edge, shining in the brief, silver glow of a critical hit.
Klein gets struck with Thoron, and the powerful attack is enough to take him out too.
Lilina defends Hector, burning Noire's incoming arrow with Elfire, only to then get shot by Clarisse's arrow, taking her out. This doesn't mean Noire and Kellam are safe just yet though. Athos is trying to get out of Kishuna's seal range, having used a tome as a shield against the shuriken, and is headed right for them.
Serra is not so lucky and gets hit. Due to her paper-thin defenses, this single shuriken takes her out instantly. ... Even though it only hit the underside of her right arm.
Eliwood is unable to escape Oliver's glorious radiance, and another Nosferatu takes him out.
"Ohoho, another victory for yours truly.", he says, contently stroking his mustache. Somehow, he makes it not look as evil as stroking one's mustache tends to look.
Anna successfully takes care of Lyn with a well-placed shot from her Shining Bow. She then looks around and tries to use the Fortify to heal her allies. However, Kishuna gets in her range.
"Friggin' hell.", Anna says, trying to shoot at him with her Shining Bow... but nothing happens. She pauses, then looks sheepish.
"... wait, my bow and sword are magic weapons... CRAP!"

Ike smirks and performs an upswing with Ragnell. If this fails to interrupt Hector's Critical Hit, he will plant his feet and take the coming blow without flinching.
Nik silently gives Nicole a thumbs-up and projects a barrier of sonic force around herself, repelling attempts at attacking her that are not particularly powerful.
Little Mac rushes down Miledy and throws a powerful straight punch.
The gold guy smirks under his helmet. He's genuinely impressed Kishuna took a bolter shell without instantly exploding, but realizes that those considered allies are being impaired by Kishuna's field effect. He opts to keep firing while advancing closer.

"A wizard is never late, nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to."After tossing her Noxian dagger to Anna for her to use, Nicole sheathes Olympus' Wrath before turning back to Vaida, her eyes now that distinctive reptilian green.
"Well, since you asked so politely!"
She transforms into her dragonic form
, meets Vaida's charge head-on, then fires an Arcane Blast at her.
"That's a cool-lookin' scar you've got, by the way!"
"It seems like you think you have defeated me."
With a laugh the demon dissipated into shadow once again. His presence could still be felt however. Moving behind Boyero, and with a swift strike the demon jumped out at the Warlock with enough speed that he hopefully would defeat him there.
"Just a humble peasant looking for work~"Boyero caught himself on the ground, more incredibly thick ice coating his chest. The forces of each blow caused a grunt to emanate from Boyero's hood. After tanking the blows, the ice immediately shattered replaced by a beam of pure electrical energy coming from his chest.... the demon screamed in pain. This blast was just as strong as the blast he had destroyed the demon's shadow with earlier. Boyero's chest was slowly burning from the energy, becoming charred like his arms.
The Demon fell back onto the ground. Defeated, but not yet dead, for he could not die. He was sentenced to forever live as this hideous demon long ago. Back when Order began her war.
"S-Seems neither of us can continue."
The demon said between coughs.

"Just a humble peasant looking for work~"Boyero laughed, albeit in pain.
"I think I could go for a little while longer, and I could kill you. But I choose not to. I recognize a fellow demon's strength. My master could have use for someone like you in the days to come. A war on this wretched place. Come, if you wish."
The ground a few meters to the left of the pair cracks open, a portal to hell.
"I will introduce you to my master, and we will discuss your strengths and value for our plans. If you wish to leave, you are free to do so. I will not kill you."
"Master eh...? Hmmmm..... I shall speak to him. An ally against Order would be a useful asset."
The injured demon stood up, the hole blasted through his chest already sealing up as he jumped into the portal to hell without any fear.
Edited by Icyheights on Oct 4th 2019 at 10:21:36 AM
"Just a humble peasant looking for work~"Xander is hit by the final critical hit, this disables him long enough to prevent him from doing anything this turn, unfortunately !
Garon isn't quite shot in the eyes but he does use his arms to block the attack, which means that he's got two knives stuck in his left arm. He drop his smile once more when Jaffar comes at him, and is struck by him too. However, there's a brief slow-motion as he's hit, and Garon emerges from the attack with a gash in his armor, weakened but not as wounded as he should've been.
!
He tosses Bolverk at Jaffar !
Saizo, seeing the sheer power in the mage's hand, decide to prioritize him, since the bolter definitely pack a lot of power. He attempts to attack Athos with a katana, with Noire and Kellam attempting to assist with arrows and a javelin toss.
Ryoma rushes at Karel and take two nasty gashes to the body, while using his own critical or dodge to parry or evade the sword attacks, attempting to hit the sword fiend with some of his own as well !
Oboro pick up the white orb and look regretful, Takumi does not notice her predicament immediately, and run towards the rest of the fight, drawing his bow as soon as he's in range and preparing to shoot.
Emmeryn attempts to help but get a bit too close in doing so : her magic become useless and, as far as everyone's concerned, she's just an amnesiac nice lady now.
Nautolan picture belongs to Bonesmarinated on twitterFae lands in front of the real Roy, though doesn't attack further, looking conflicted as she changes back.
"D-don't hurt Roy... Roy.", she says as the Einherjar Roy quickly gets to her side, just in case.
Hector's swing is too powerful to be stopped by Ike's upswing. However, Ike's super armor makes it look like he took the critical hit without receiving any damage at all, to Hector's natural shock.
"What!? You resisted a critical hit from Armads!? ... Who are you?"
Miledy gets punched off of her Wyvern, though lands on her feet, quickly readjusts herself, then attempts to strike at Little Mac with the legendary Maltet lance.
Vaida grins.
"Now that's what I'm talking about!"
With a tug on her wyvern's leash, it nimbly dodges the Arcane Blast, and then charges up towards Nicole from below, attempting to impale her with the Uber Spear.
"Why thanks. It's my very own battle trophy.", she says as she charges, clearly proud of her scar.
Luckily for Xander, Raven did really use the last of his strength for that attack, as he turns back into a card immediately after.
Jaffar looks genuinely surprised for a moment, and tries to leap to the side to avoid Bolverk. He mostly makes it, but ends up getting struck in his left arm. To his credit though, he acts swiftly, tearing some cloth from his sleeve and immediately binding it around his wound in the span of just a few seconds. He then looks ready to continue fighting again, even though one of his arms is much less useful, as he has to hold his Killing Edge in his other hand.
Athos, while a powerful sage, isn't nearly as nimble as his younger opponents, and as such he gets hit by Noir's arrows and Kellam's Javelin, then by Saizo's katana. While Athos isn't fully down from these attacks just yet, he does drop Forblaze, so should he live longer than Kishuna sticks around, that tome might not be a problem anymore.
Athos, unable to attack back due to a lack of weapons, looks at Saizo with a gentle, wise calmness in his eyes.
"You are strong, capable warriors... so I ask of you... defeat those who suffer under the Blood Contracts. For some of you, it may be tough depending on the opponents you have to face, but we will be better off in the long run if we are defeated."
He then glances at Fae for a moment, looking sad, then steeling himself.
"... all of us will be.", he says, looking back at Saizo.
"So don't let those villains get their way. Strike us all down."
Karel swiftly dodges, then attempts to strike at Ryoma's left arm, which is the arm he holds closest to Rajinto's blade. With Ryoma using both of his hands to wield it, Karel knows that Ryoma would be sufficiently weakened if he can only fight with one hand.
Emmeryn is lucky that all of their remaining opponents are preoccupied, as she doesn't get attacked. Oboro and Takumi can therefore approach the rest of the battle without being intercepted.
Kishuna dodges the shots this time around, surprisingly agile for such a frail looking person. Anna catches the dagger thrown at her and tries to go for Kishuna, but he dodges her attack too. Clarisse shoots at him and hits the side of his arm, but it only deals minimal damage. Anna looks worried.
"Agh, Kishuna, you're not leaving me much of a choice here..."

In the year 202X, all is devastation... Soon, any last shred of hope had by the saintliest optimist shall die and decay.Roy paces to the side, unsure of what to do.
Ike receives a brutal gash, but nonetheless stays on his feet. "I am Ike," he declares. "Some call me the Radiant Hero." He rushes Hector, jumps into the air, and swings Ragnell in a downward arc in front of himself.
Little Mac is easily outranged by the lance, but he withstands the attack. He hunkers down and begins powering up a Straight Lunge, his fist glowing with energy.
Nik rockets at Kishuna, propelled by a sonic burst. She can't use further sound magic while near him, but she's counting on the sheer velocity of the initial launch from outside his range to be enough to take him out with one hit.
The golden man switches 'on' his weapon's bayonet and stabs it at Kishuna. It hums with a kind of energy that could melt through Powered Armor.
"A wizard is never late, nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to."Haha ! You're an utter madman ! I like that ! he says, raising Siegfried and attempting to goad Jaffar in. If you want to have a little milestone, none of those funny folks from Qlipoth made me try as hard as you !
Oboro and Takumi attempt to attack Kishana, with Takumi using his arrows while Oboro chose a spear attack. They're assisted by Xander (and Oboro frowns comically in doing so), who slash at him !
But you're good people... It's... hard, but I'll do it, because you've asked !
Noire prepare to draw an arrow, and Saizo nods quietly.
Leave it to me, old man. He declares, though there's a bit of respect in his voice. He draws a shuriken and strike firm with it.
Kellam nods, and also readies his spear
Geez... meeting you guys under different circumstances would've been sweet.
Ryoma deftly dodge but get a nasty slash over the left forearm, though he immediately stab at the opposing einherjar without pause, even as the blood flows out of his arm. At least, he's comparable to Jaffar in terms of state so far.
Emmeryn back off for now, but winces at Kishana's plight. She keeps her eyes peeled for any reinforcements.

Kellam's woken up and get up in time to notice that the group's been flanked. Everyone else reacts in various ways, but they do appear to be legitimately surprised over it.
Garon look at his sword and just silently draw his own Siegfried, preparing to dual-wield legendary axe and sword alike against the Einherjar. Saizo readies his weapons and Xander walk over to where Noire and Kellam stand, seemingly ready to defend them. Noire herself scramble to pick up her bow and prepare to shoot at Kellam's "aggressor".
Takumi instantly attack with a burst of arrows as soon as he notices that they're ambushed, attempting to attack the duo. Emmeryn herself begins to summon forth Elfire, aware that she can't hold back on just so many people.
Gah ! What manner of Nohrian tactics are those ?!
Ryoma is a bit distracted by the sheer number of people, seemingly dropping his focus on the fight as a result.
...
Heavy footsteps resonate as Niagara come back from whatever he was doing.
Oh, interesting ! Excellent move, sir Lekain !
