-Yuri Lowell-
Yuri back-flipped out of the way, taken by surprise. "Hey, hey, hey! What happened to us being friendly before?" Yuri joked to calm his nerves.
His hand held the haft of his still-sheathed sword. "You might as well answer my questions, Gil."

— Gilgamesh, Stella —
Gilgamesh had already walked a short distance away, and sat down on a neaby bench, reclining back, his manner akin to that of a Roman Emporer watching a gladitorial game. He clearly had little to no intention of answering any of Yuri's questions, at least for the moment.
"Gil ordered me, so..." Was all that Stella gave as an explanation for her actions. She continued her assault, this time with a thrust.

"That should do it," Ryoko said as she finished laying the unconcious Shirou onto a bench nearby to where he was lying down.
"You really are someone I can't seem to understand. You only have one life, yet you seem so willing to through it away at a moment's notice. Is your own existence that meaningless to you?"

"Oi, oi!" Yuri flung his sword's sheath to the side as he tried to dodge and deflect Stella's attacks.
Can't get caught in any of her attacks! Shit, this is going to be a problem.
"What about Azrael?! You can't disobey him either, right?" Yuri kept having to keep his distance from the chainsaw blade.
— Plant Basement —
The creature, unfortunately for it, was in the process of turning and lunging towards Seras, and came quite close to literally "eating" the first grenade, blowing up in its face. The second went off near its legs, knocking the lunge off-balance. In stead of lunging, it was now more "tumbling towards the Anti-Skill operative, only partially in control of it's motion.
When the explosion clears, it would became obvious that a good portion of the creature's face was missing, and that it was having trouble moving.
— Gilgamesh, Stella —
"That is... true," Stella replied, as she stopped attacking for a moment.
"Just why is it that you are hesitating," Gilgamesh's cold voice called out. "Azrael told you to do what I say, did he not?" Gilgamesh smirked, "Of course, I know you're actually supposed to tabs on me, but let's keep up this cooperation facade for a bit longer."
"You..." Stella said weakly.
"Hurry, if you don't hurry I'll have to bring out the scary things."
"S-scary things?" Stella's voice was clearly losing composure, and sounded afraid, almost to the point of madness."
"Indeed, so if you don't want to see the scary things, you'd best kill him as quickly as possible."
"I.. I don't wanna see the scary things..." Stella said, her voice slowly gaining conviction. She turned to Yuri. "I'll defeat you." Stella raised the metal sheild on her left arm into position. She dashed forward, making to bash Yuri with the shield.

"Ara, that reaction is a bit more hostile than last time," Ryoko commented wearing her usual, non-chalant smile. "You can put your fists down by the way. I have no intention of causing you any harm.
Ryoko glanced at the stairwell briefly, then looked back towards Shirou. "My role in this operation is finished after all."

Scary things?! That's not helping.
Yuri, seeing Stella charge towards him, decided to block the next attack. The shield and sword made contact and Yuri was sent flying a few meters away.
After rolling and sliding down the concrete, Yuri lied on his back, panting. "Damn it," the teen said as he made a recovery jump to get himself back up. "Well, at least it was better than the chainsaw." The sword had pierced the ground next to him.
"Gil, you really like to rule through fear, huh?"
>Emiya Shirou<
Shirou hesitantly lowered his fists, but still kept his guard up. It wouldn't do much good though. He needed a mana transfer badly and his body was completely beaten up. "Your role? This operation? What's going on here?"
>Jade Curtiss<
"Quick, there's no point finishing it off. Move on and it will die on its own." Jade followed his own advice, running without pause past the corpse of the creature and deeper into the facility.
>Jade Curtiss<
Jade stopped for a moment, waiting for the injured Mai and Seras to catch up.
"Mai, if you're injured, I recommend you stay and rest for now. I'll call anti-skill to bring you to a proper medical facility. Even if you refuse the treatment, I will have to ask you wait. Injured, you will be nothing more than a hindrance."

—Seras Victoria—
Looking at Jade at first and then the injured Mai being carried by her and then back to Jade.
"Under normal circumstances I would agree with you Jade and personally escort her out of this place as injured person take priority.", looking back at the way they came.
"By now, the entrance is crawling with those little critters. I am not sure what reaction they will have now the big creature is died...hopefully. Going back going be dangerous, staying put is waiting for danger to come." looking ahead of the dark tunnel, "choices seem to be limited at the moment."
— Plant Basement —
As a result of the Seras' dodge, the creature ended up smashing its head into a wall, and being we well blown to pieces by the final two grenades.
The only way to continue deeper was through what was probably a filtration system, whose system of ducts were too small for a person to fit through. A squelching noise came from behind the party, as one of the organs that the defiler had been feeding earlier began to react to the lack of fluid intake.
— Gilgamesh, Stella —
The blasts hit Gilgamesh's armor, bouncing off ineffectually, Gilgamesh himself continuing as if no attack had been made.
"Fear?" he said quizzically. "I do not rule through anything. My very nature is that of a king, and thus I rule by very nature of my existence."
— Plant Entrance —
"The operation that involves dispersing the Imagine Scourge over Academy City of course," Ryoko answered. "My role in this operation was mostly infiltration setting the whole thing up. It's what I've always done, so I suppose you could say I'm practiced at it."
"To be honest, I've gotten a bit bored with it..."

— Kawasumi Mai —
Mai struggled to her feet with the help of the senior mage, she could still feel the pain from the strange orange mist, but after the initial shock she was able to regain her composure.
"We have to retreat... however we cannot leave with that creature alive..."
