Cassandra
"העברה לקיים קסם חיים," Cadmus said, causing the energy flow from her right hand to drop in intensity. Instead of the large flowing powers of her healing spell, now it was simply pure magical energy, enough that it should keep the crazed servant from fading. This sort of connection, though, was unsustainable. "I think she can stay for now, but unless we take drastic measures she'll likely fade." A devilish grin crossed her face. "However, I believe and arrangement can be made. The position is excellent in this shrine, as my magical needs may be helped by the leyline."

"Σπαρτοί" she said with her left hand, as a large tooth manifested in her palm. She struck her Noble Phantasm into the ground and five women sprang forth from the Earth. Each was dressed with the full regalia of a blacksmith, protective blast furnace gear obscuring most of their bodies, and each wielding a massive hammer. She mentally commanded them to begin harnessing magical energy, both her own and what they could acquire from the nearby leyline, to forge the best approximation a command seal that their own construction talents and her A-rank item construction could create. A false command seal would likely have issues, but the only other real alternative was letting her fade.

Besides, having the daughter of the king of Troy around might prove useful.

Aaliyah.

Aaliyah looked at Jakuta, it wasn't a look of contempt but she wasn't happy either, almost like she was trying to process something new. "I'm not sure what I felt." she looked back over at the projection of Roman, and began to give full detailed report on what had just happened.

"Well that's...about it. Are we to await orders or....?" she looked at the man questioningly.

Rider frowned at what he saw, eyes narrowed slightly.

"Milady, her soul...there is some sort of chaotic thread connecting it to the aether. A pulse travels along the thread to her soul on occasion" He reported what he saw. " What would you have me do? You may see through my eyes, if you wish."

As the battle calmed down, Sally sat down by the temple, preparing another batch of tobacco to light.

Well, the situation was resolved, for the most part. She didn't really do anything, joy. She couldn't even communicate with her Servant properly. It's like Saber wasn't there at all.

{Hey, uh, Saber?} She called out to her via the mental link. {Could you come here?}


Making sure his Master is safe, Lancer now moved over to supervise downed Berserker, regarding the fallen woman with no small contempt.

They should have just finished her off. What point was there to a mad seer of a city long gone? "By keeping her alive on a leash, we will surely awaketh the rage of Apollo if he still keepseth eye upon the cursed one." He spoke quietly, watching Caster's hands with no small amount of mistrust.

Julie manifested by Sally. "What is it?"


Alinia tried to absorb all the details of Cadmus' process, even though she knew that as a Noble Phantasm it was mostly futile. Still.

She glanced over at Longinus. "Again: letting someone die in his temple would be thousands of times worse." There were other, less flattering reasons why she thought he wouldn't care, but she didn't want to mention them here. "In fact, how about we avoid conversation about invoking the wrath of deities inside temples, can you manage that?"

Cassandra

A metal tablet was formed by the 5 Spartoi. It shone a resplendent bronze, and floated over above Cassandra. Onto it was etched a winding "approximation" of a command seal, which flashed red once complete. From the seal rained down red beams of light which encircled Berserker's limbs, tightened, and then faded away. The woman's body jerked forward with renewed life and ceased fading, but she still remained unconscious for the time being.

She was still horribly injured, but she was alive, if only for now. Her breathing began to normalize. Her clothes were starting to knit themselves back together where Jakuta's arrow had hit and instantly vaporized them.

Aaliyah

"Well that's... disconcerting." Dr. Roman replied, running his fingers through his hair. He sighed, and looked apologetic.

"Well.. there's the thing, right? We've been trying to pull you guys out from that timeline and back to Chaldea but.. well, we can't. We can't actually see you unless you contact us first. The only thing we've managed to continue sending is our Mana reserves to keep your Servants running, and that's about it."

Dr. Roman looked down and shuffled something around on what was presumably a table or desk for a moment.

"Your original orders were to retreat until we could regroup but.. since that's out of the question the only orders we can actually give you are to destroy the anomaly.. we should be able to get you back then. Just.. try not to have anyone killed. Actually.."

The hologram went blank for a minute or two as Dr. Roman left the platform. Afterwards, both he and Director Animusphere appeared side by side.

"We've been trying to get this up and running but our engineer, Professor Lev, has gone missing in the explosion. If you find him, tell us, alright?" The Director said, looking as tired as Dr. Roman, if not more so. "So that's your directive. Find Lev, destroy the anomaly, whatever it is, and then we'll pull you all back into the present and decide what happens then."

Jeanne.

The Maid of Orleans placed a hand on Kasumi's shoulder and gave her a gentle smile. "I will do my utmost to protect you then." She then materialized her sword briefly and examined it frowning slightly. "Truth be told I would have preferred to be summoned as a Lancer, but I suppose this will work out." she let it dissolve into small silver lights.

Aaliyah.

"Understood." Aaliyah gave a nod and cut the connection. Going over to the others she raised her voice slightly just so that the others could hear her.

"Everyone, your attention please. I don't know if you heard that or not but it seems like HQ's definitely having some problems. We were supposed to be pulled out of this timeline, but it looks like we're on our own for the most part." she paused for a moment. "Well not entirely, Professor Lev is lost somewhere amdist all this chaos. Our orders for now are to find him, eliminate the anomaly, and don't kill anyone if we can help it. Once we accomplish that HQ can bring us home. That's all."

"...fair enough." Lancer concluded with a disdainful frown - seemingly his default expression - and backed down, standing by Rick's side for now.


"...oh, just wanted to talk." Sally smiled a little. "We didn't get to interact all too much and I guess it's crucial that we, at the very least, trust each other."

Taking a puff from her pipe she listened to the announcement idly. "Do you smoke?" She asked her Servant, twisting her pipe in her mouth.

Cassandra
"Well then I've established a link between her to my store of power," Cadmus said to Alinia, though loud enough for everyone. "The transfer takes time but she ought to rouse within the hour." She stood up, the berserker in her arms for now since she wasn't conscious enough to stand up on her own.

"Why are you all standing and gawking beside?" she asked the rest after Aaliyah spoke. "There is the temple, has only one of you thought to venture inside? So far it held a leyline and servant, but more is bound to be there for someone observant. Some of you also could stand to guard and lookout, our recent battle may have brought enemies glimpsing about."


Rick figured that he might as well keep watch while everyone else seemed to be preoccupied. He had a few bees running circles around the area so hopefully nothing could sneak up, and then he unslung his rifle. Using the scope on his weapon, though making sure he had the safety on first, he pointed it towards the horizon and slowly swept it in every direction.

"Cassius, I'm gonna keep an eye on the perimeter for now," he said to Lancer. "I don't have a direct line of sight on the other side of the temple from here, though. Think you could keep watch on that side in case there's something in the distance the bees can't see?"

"At once." Nodding in acknowledgment, Lancer swiftly made his way at the other side of the temple, his sight careful to spot anything unusual that could surprise them.

"I'll go investigate the inside of the temple," Ching said, and began to walk to the entrance. She looked over her shoulder, back to Floren. "Care to join me, Master?"

Floren watched the rest of the fight unfold, hanging back to reign Rider in incase she did something stupid again. Once the fight came to a halt, she moved to scan the perimeter incase more trouble was headed their way. After a few minutes she found herself satisfied and nodded at Cadmus's words.

"Everything seems clear right now but you're right. Rider and I will help investigate the temple," she remarked, acknowledging her Servant's request and turning to lead her into the entrance.

The temple was small. Very small. It was more like a glorified shrine with some extra rooms jutting out of it and a few spots where costly artifacts dedicated to Apollo once stood.

Of course, strewn throughout the temple were the corpses of priests and young shrine maidens, all cut apart by sword and spear. Whatever happened here could only be called the beginning of a massacre.

Another lightning bolt, significantly louder and more impressive than the one that incapacitated Cassandra, shot up from behind the wall. It was almost like a beacon, showing them where the anomaly probably was.

At the center of the conflict.

Cassandra
Not one for going into temples herself, Cadmus walked down to the sand of the beach. She had her Spartoí quickly constructed a bed and chair out of magic, using the nearby sand and the fallen soldiers' armor as raw materials. As a finishing touch, they erected a mid-sized privacy curtain that would prevent the girl from seeing the temple if she woke up - there no telling if looking at that horrific statue would cause her to go mad again.

Tucking Cassandra into the bed, she took a seat in the chair and then placed her hand on the berserker's forehead. "Now that the contract is done, how are you feeling?" she asked gently in case she was still asleep. "The magic is flowing so your wounds should be healing."


Temple Perimeter
"Coast looks clear on my side, how are you doing Cassius?" Rick said to his servant via their mental connection. "I'm going to keep patrolling, and see if I can get a better look at those walls with my scope." He did as he said, walking around the temple to get a better angle in the direction of Troy, and seeing if anything of notice was visible in his scope.

Aaliyah

Aaliyah looked around the temple, the site of it wasn't exactly pleasant. She wasn't the religious type but to see such a slaughter in a peaceful was enough to make want to wretch. She wasn't hear to loot either.

Instead of wallowing in the gore she decided to go out onto the steps, just in time to catch the calp of thunder and the lightning bolt. Instinctively her head turned to Jakuta but, seeing that he hadn't done anything she returned her gave to the horizon spanning wall.

"Don't tell me its there...please..."

"So," Ching began, turning to her Master after looking at all the corpses strewn about the room. "Think this was the result of our little crazed princess friend, or do you think it was done by then living participants?"

Then there was the clap of thunder, the sound echoing through the temple, and the flash of the lightning illuminating through the entrance. Must of been another one of those lightning strikes from over the wall. If Ching were to place her bets, that's probably where the anomaly is.

Cadmus and Cassandra

Cassandra's "dreams" seemed pained. Her face would occasionally show a hint of pain, or perhaps fear, but it would fade away after a few moments. It would still take a few minutes for her to wake up.

She smiled for a fraction of a second, sleepily muttering something that sounded like "Love" before going silent again.

Atop the Wall

Through his scope, Rick would see the following:

There were more Greek soldiers, though these looked noticeably more alive than the ones they just fought. Alongside them were what looked like man-sized snakes, each entwined in a sort of pair with another snake. Opposite them was an important looking man with a spear defending a significantly meeker looking bow-wielding man from the Greeks and their serpentine allies. He seemed to be doing a remarkable job of it, while his ally was having a lot less luck in his effort of taking shots with his bow.

This was close to the gates. The rest of the wall, as far as Rick could see, was more or less uneventful barring a minor skirmish between Trojan and Greek soldiers here and there. In those cases the Greeks were winning completely. Every so often a Trojan soldier would be kicked off the wall and thus fall to his doom.

Though, as he zoomed out, he would notice that there was a small skirmish between Trojan and Greek soldiers up ahead, en route to the wall.

Aaliyah

Jakuta whistled, as if he was impressed. He had not bothered to materialize, so he spoke now through their mental connection: "That's a pretty good lightning bolt right there. I don't think any mortal Servant could do that kind of thing. Maybe these soldiers summoned their god to fight for them? Zeus, I believe? No matter. He'll fall before me like everyone else."

He laughed deeply, and it echoed through Aaliyah's mind.

Aaliyah

"Right."Aaliyah responded curtly to Jakuta, his laughter somewhat annoying her but honestly she was starting to get used to this pompous Servant.

"Well at least we have our destination." she looked back at the others and raised her voice again. "Hey! When everyone's ready we ought to get moving again. Unless you wanna hang-out in a desecrated temple."

Cassandra
With a quiet sigh, Cadmus leaned back in the chair. She dismissed the Spartoí with a nod, and decided that since it would only be a short while, she could focus on absorbing what mana she could from the nearby leyline.

Resting one hand on her necklace and another on her staff, she simply took in some sun.


Temple Perimeter
"Well Cassius, appears that they've got their own champion spearman up there on the walls, I bet you could take him on though. Don't know if you can see him from here with your servant eyes or not, you can take a look if you want," Rick said to Lancer as he observed the battle going on. If the servant came close and wanted to borrow the rifle he would point at where to look. "Looks like he's got backup from a vitamin-deficient Legolas, and they're fighting the Goddamn Ninja Turtles. And then there's another fight a little closer to us, best we keep an eye on that too."

If nothing else happened he would keep on looking at the nearest group of fighting soldiers, not interfering but remaining vigilant in case they decided to head his way.

Assasin: Sneaking up on the Greeks

"It's a shame, really." A voice called out to Cadmus. Hel's form followed suit, the corpse-goddess appearing next to Cassandra's bed, looking at the woman with an almost-fond smile.

"You healed her. She could have been mine. Granted, there's no guarantee of that and perhaps she would have gone to that old bore Hades. On second thought, she would likely gone to the Greek afterlife. Ah, well..."

Hel smiled at Cadmus, the expression friendly enough. "My point is...she is clearly suffering in life. Was it really a kindness to prolong her living? After all...Death has its own comforts."


Dora, camp

For her part the eight Master was restless. Very restless. Smack dab in the middle of war and they were waiting it out? She had wanted to do something. Something worthwile. Unfortunately, all the other specialists made her rather redundant here.

It's not like she wanted to excel at magic. Oh, no. It's just...well...it felt kind of odd feeling useless all of a sudden.

Sighing slightly and looking out as the others bustled, she called for her Servant.

"Well. Saber. What do you think of everything so far?"

nman Since: Mar, 2010
#121: Nov 3rd 2015 at 7:46:20 PM

Cassandra
Cadmus laughed lightly at Hel's words. "You must excuse me for my meager chortle," she said. "But this girl here is no mere mortal. As she is a servant thus her fate resides on the Hero's Throne, it will be neither to Hades nor Hel to whom her soul is thrown."

She yawns and leaned back in her chair. "Now if I may give you a small piece of advice, there are certain comforts one can never find in the afterlife."

Rider gave a small shrug to Caster. "I believe that is debatable, depending on which afterlife you refer to." He said.

Assasin

Hel giggled slightly at Cadmus's response. Loki's daughter walked up to Cadmus and reached out to stroke her cheek.

"Hmmm? I have everything in my hall, dear one. Feasts and drinks and companionship. With the added benefit of...well, eternity. No illness or pain. Does that not sound better than struggling with your mortal coil?"

She giggled again and looked at Cassandra. "A shame she is destined for the Throne. I would have done...better."

She glanced at Rider and smiled. "Now here is an interesting creature. Hello, Rider. I am Assasin."

Cassandra's "Room"
"The Throne of Heroes awaits us all, none can escape to another hall," Cadmus replied, brushing her cheek to move a lock of hair. "Though one may beg for the fires of hell, the world keeps us in her spell. We live, we die, we live again, that's my fate and yours as well. Summoned to this mortal plane, you may as well enjoy it Hel."

Cassandra

"I myself certainly enjoy being back among the living." Ching said, approaching her fellow Servants. "Of course, my opinion might be more than a little bias considering my soul went to the Throne upon my death. No eternity in an afterlife for the Terror of South China it would seem."

Ching shifted her gaze to the unconscious Cassandra.

"Any idea when our Berserker "friend" here might wake, Caster?" Ching asked with a cold tone. "We need answers as soon as possible before we set out."
