The Chains of Heaven unwrapped around Tamamo and Scathach as they were thrown into a bare room, completely blank except for the door they entered from. The door closed, and the two tried to summon their weapons, only to no avail.

"What's going on?!" Exclaimed Tamamo.

"This room is a special Bounded Field which stops all magic and decreases the user's strength. Usually it's not very useful as the effects are on everyone inside, but it works great as a prison cell for mongrels like you." Gilgamesh haughtily explained

Tamamo just growled at him in response while Scathach frowned, leaning against the wall. Gilgamesh walked away from the door as his footsteps slowly got quieter.

"Looks like we're stuck." Commented Scathach while Tamamo sat on her bottom.

. . .

"Senpai." Sakura softly called.

"Yes?" Asked Gray.

"Here. Take this." Sakura said, giving him a small doll.

"What is this?" Asked Gray.

"This is Violet. She'll help protect you." Sakura stated.

"Alright. Thank you." Gray wasn't sure what Sakura meant, but he tucked the doll into his pocket. He could at least do that.

. . .

Rin, Gray and the four servants stood outside of the Matou Manor.

"You know they'll be expecting us, right?" Asked Rin.

"I know." Gray replied. "Thank you. For helping me."

"It's not problem. I'm just doing this so the world doesn't get destroyed." Rin responded, crossing her arms.

"Alright. We all know the plan, correct?" Gray asked. Rin and the four servants nodded, and Archer jumped away as he went to a high vantage point to provide support if needed.

Gray, Rin and the other three servants immediately entered the Manor. They entered a large entrance room with two sets of stairs which moved up to the first floor, with a huge chandelier hanging above.

Across from the stood Cu Chulainn, with his Gae Bolg resting over his shoulder. "Looks like you survived kid." Cu commented.

Nero stepped forward. "I'll hold him off. You go ahead." She stated.

"Thank you." Gray thanked, as the others ran past, with Medusa separating from the group.

"So that's how you're going to play? Sounds good." Cu said. "Time for a rematch."

Nero and Cu rushed at each other as Nero's sword met the middle of Cu's spear in a vicious strike. Parrying the strike, Cu attempted to stab Nero, only for Nero to quickly bring her sword back and deflect his own attack.

Nero swung her sword again as it met Cu's spear, resulting in a loud clang before their weapons separated, quickly slamming into each other again. They unleashed a flurry of attacks which all met inbetween them in massive sparks.

"You're good." Commented Cu, readying his spear.

"You also fight majestically." Responded Nero as she brought her sword up.
