"Fuck!" Harrison curses to himself not knowing what else to say in this scenario. Harrison looks to the left of the car to see Sakata Kintoki kick John to the floor, "Where is Artoria," Harrison thinks to himself as Sakata continues to kick John whiles he is down. The girl then speaks up with a voice that sounds somehow mature and wise through the childlike pitch, "John Buchen I don't really like to have murder on my hands so I will ask you politely one last time hand over your command seals and eliminate your contract with your Saber-class servant, or I will have Berseker (Sakata) kill you and take them regardless." The girl said this with zero emotion in her eyes as if this was a guarantee of her life to perform acts such as this.
Sitting back down for a second and pulling his vision away from the scene Harrison noticed the panic coursing through his veins as his pulse quicked and a cold sweat pooled on his forehead. "What do I do, I don't particularly like John but I can't just leave him there like that, plus I don't even have Salter with me... a command seal I could use one of. NO! Not an option I made this decision I can get myself out of it." Stealing himself Harrison runs to the side of the vehicle trying to feel the magical circuits he used yesterday. "If I could just tap into that power then- AGH!" An exclamation escapes Harrison's mouth accompanied by blood as he tried to activate the circuits causing pain to shoot through his entire being. "Not an option huh."
Harrison sets off without a second more, knowing how he may try and talk himself out of this situation he simply rushes in headfirst towards the master, the girl in a violet and blue dress. She locks eyes with Harrison as a small smile creeps across her face, she raises her arm towards him as he sees lines of bluish-green energy follow down the arm. From her fingertips, an arrow of void-like energy is shot out connecting with his shoulder sending him stumbling backward as he clutches at the stabbing pain that seems to have a stinging effect built-in.
A deep voice emanates from the massive figure of Sakata, "Haha you my lengthy friend are golden for that move, I mean charging straight into a losing battle, gold star for effort." The man then raises his arm behind him seemingly summoning a large golden battle-ax from nowhere, Harrison's eyes widen knowing very well the strength that this monster of a berserker class servant can put behind their blows. Pure instinct kicks in as Harrison's legs kick outward forcing his body to lurch out of the way at the last second as the large golden ax easily cleaves through the car behind him putting a large cavity into the ground as well.
With a loud shattering sound Harrison's attention flies to the ceiling as he sees a small portion of the bonded field shattered as "Salter?" is falling from the sky. Salter mid-fall pulls back Excalibur and as she is about to seemingly land right on top of Sakata, and swings it horizontally clashing with the berserker's axe. She is then thrown off of him as the two servants face off against each other. "Salter watch out for his axe it has the ability to project lighting, he is also a Berserker class servant true name Sakata Kintoki," Harrison calls out to Salter who nods in understanding. Though it is evident that the opposing master, the very elegantly dressed girl is flabbergasted at the information Harrison knows about her servant, especially as knowing the true name of a servant can reveal their weaknesses.
"Berserker end this before they become a problem, the Master of House Righter will prove to be troublesome later," a childlike voice emanates from the girl to which Berserker nods with a growing smile on his face. "He is a Berserker class, meaning that there is going to be a considerable buff to his damage and effectiveness against Saber class servants like Salter, meaning this fight is as good as lost in straight servant vs servant. Maybe though if Salter or I am able to get a clean hit off on the Master we might be able to force them to retreat." Harrison plans out in his head trying to stake out his next move.
The sounds of clashing metal can be heard as Salter and Sakata's exchange blows destroying parts of the parking lot and vehicles in the process. Despite an even amount of the number of blows being exchanged each strike Sakata lands against a block of Salter and sends her flying as the power he is able to put behind each swing of his golden axe is staggering. Eventually, Salter is sent into the car next to Harrison who is still muttering to himself lost to the world. Salter slowly steps out of the ruble blood dripping from her mouth and smacks Harrison clean across the face shocking him back into reality. "I'm back I am so sorry, but I think I got something here, clearly we aren't going to win in straight-up might so I need you to somehow hit the Master of those flames of yours that should deal enough damage for me to get in close." Harrison rattles off his mood immediately changing to that of a calm battle commander.
"Glad to have you back Righter," Salter relays with a pained smile moving to stand in front of him once again her sword at the ready. Sakata comes charging back at Salter, however instead of blocking she turns with the strike dodging the blow and putting her behind Sakata giving her a clear line of sight with the small girl, "FLAMES OF DREAD!" she shouts as billowing black and red flames extend from her hand engulfing the figure of the girl. A loud crunch is heard as an elbow rockets Salter into the concrete floor sending large cracks outward throughout as the force of the blow can only be compared to that of a Semi-Truck.
As Harrison takes in the scene unfolding he sees the girl completely unfazed a glittery shell around her keeping everything inside of it from being touched by the flames. "You think I Annabell Kaiser great mage of the Kaiser family wouldn't have some sort of magical protection. You are even stupider than you look," the girl says trying to stifle her laughter as she uses a hand to cover her mouth. Throughout this exchange Harrison sees Salter being lifted from the ground by her head as Sakata's large hands are easily able to grab her entire skull. Out of options and out of time Harrison's strong sense of logic leaves him.
Grabbing a stone from the ruble cast forth in front of him he beings to charge for Sakata, "Berserker end this!" is heard from where the girl stands. Sakata raises his golden ax up still holding Salter whit his left hand up off the ground her body motionless in her bloody and broken armor. As the axe comes downwards towards Harrison he raises his arm as pain shoots through his back and shoulder muscles as different circuits then before light up to life. Instead of bluish-green lines tracing their way across his skin they shoot out from his arms like ribbon. When the golden axe makes contact with these strands of energy it stops the momentum of the axe completely as bluish-green lighting erupts around the three of them shocking Sakata and forcing him to let go of Salter.
Harrison quickly moves to catch her using the momentary shock of both the opposing Master Annabell and Servant Sakata to his advantage. Hastily setting Salter down on the broken floor his left foot slides outward as he switches circuits causing blood to spray out of his right arm, the one holding the piece of the ruble as he brings that arm backward. The ribbons flicker out of existence as returning circuits flicker to life on Harrison's arm causing more pain to course through his veins making him bite down hard, as he strains his entire being.
Within a tenth of a second Harrison had capitalized from the physical shock delt to Berserker as he grabbed Salter set her down and got into a stance a baseball pitcher would usually take, culminating in this throw. As Harrison's arm shot forward he poured all of his strength and the power of the flickering magical circuits into the throw. He sent the piece of rubble flying over 100ft (30 meters) as the piece or ruble struck the forehead of the girl hard causing her to stagger backward and fall onto her bottom.
Thankfully this interrupted the strike that Berserker had been raising towards him, as his attention fell to his Master who he immediately ran to as aid. "That was one golden throw you got their kiddo," Harrison could have sworn Sakata said before leaving, but Harrison's eyes were trained on Annabell. Instead of blood leaking from her head it seemed the same blueish-green sparks flew from her head as she clutched at it as if trying to suppress it. As soon as Sakata got there he just scooped her up without a word and bonded away quickly.
As soon as they left Harrison felt an unseen pressure lift from his chest as his overexerted muscles finally gave out on him and he fell to the floor next to Salter. "Still up for shopping," Harrison said trying to manage a joke. "I think we need to talk," was the serious response he got back from Salter, "But also yes I have been looking forward to it," cut the seriousness nicely, sending relief through Harisson.
