The spear of Lancer was like a hurricane in the way it flashed and danced through the air. Sakata was an impressive fighter but he still stood no chance against this Lancer who easily weaved and lashed out in between the onslaught of heavy blows he rained down upon her. It was like watching a wolf fight a bear two rabid beasts locked in ferocious combat. BB was not so helpful often hitting Sakata as much as she hit Lancer with her magic spells causing Yor much disappointment as they rushed to catch up to the two servants.

Archer wasn't having much of an easier time either as the swordsman was able to block and defend against the never-ending siege of arrows that he sent forth. Slowly the swordsman gained ground on Archer making his way up the building while still defending himself elegantly. However, when he crested over the roof of the building the air went still and cold. The swordsman saw everything unfolding in slow motion. The arrows he had been blocking he realized were swords that were actually falling from the heavens themselves, and right now the only arrow he had seen this Archer hold was the one trained on his chest right now. "I am the bone of my sword," Archer stated his words of power before relating the arrow straight into the swordsman's gut.

With a responding woosh, the swordsman was shot through the sky landing only a few feet from Lancer. "Hmm rather unexpected," she said with a small grin before turning her gaze back to Sakata. He was breathing heavily and had many wounds across his chest from the Lance that the woman held, not to mention BB was running low on mana as well. "I say it's time I end things," the woman stated confidently as she slid her rear foot back, arching it with the intent to kill on her face. "GAE BULG," she shouted as she thrust forth her arm throwing the cursed lance she held. 

The power of the throw couldn't be more evident, Stella and Yor were powerless but to look on as the spear arched for Sakata who grit his teeth in anticipation. However just as it looked like the sear would impact his chest it suddenly arched above him. Everyone turned to watch the spear as it flew past them. "Archer..." Stella mumbled under her breath before it hit her fully, "ARCHER!" she yelled revealing her position to the Lancer in question. More importantly, the scream reached Archer's ears and as he whipped his head around he saw the incoming red lance. Once again he pulled on his mana invoking a defensive magecraft.

"Rho Aias!" Archer invoked as a beautiful display of purples and pinks flare out of his outstretched hand. Seven-petaled larkspur that was easily the size of an adult man, bloomed and the pedals flared outward seven shimmering translucent barriers appeared before the flower as Archer prepared himself for the impact of the spear. The spear impacted with a resounding bomb and the leaves and trees were shaken by the force of the strike. "Good thing our master put all these people to sleep or there would certainly be complications with all this ruckus," the woman said catching Stella's attention. As she realized the reason Annabelle and Yor had gone to sleep so easily must have been this servant's master.

Slowly but surely the spear broke through layer by layer. Slowing down after each but regardless of the barrier it still continued with the ferocity of a starved wolf as it gnashed against the translucent barriers. Archer braced his right arm with his left as the spear drew closer. With an explosive boom, the ground shook and Stella couldn't help herself from crying as the implication of what had gone down went through her mind. Then like a lightning bolt the spear streaked back to the Lancer's open palm at all sorts of weird angles.  "No no you can't be dead," Stella cried to herself as she began to hyperventilate. 

The two other servants didn't waste time rushing down Lancer, but it was still to no avail as she easily blocked and countered the attacks from Sakata. She was like a demon cutting through Sakata and BB like a sword through the air. It was as if they weren't even there, as she continued to walk forward unimpeded by the two of them slowly inflicting more and more damage until neither of them could stand any longer. "Our master plans to win this war, and you would put us one step closer," she said emotionless as her crimson eyes scan over both Yor and Stella.

Stella refused to look away from the woman as she brought her spear to Stella's throat threatening her. "It's over yet your eyes remain defiant, how funny," she says with a look of amusement the spear unwavering ready to take Stella's life at any moment.
