"Take one more step and we will counter," the girl standing in the front commanded. Salter's vision was blurry and she couldn't hear what they were saying but Jalter and Annabelle who were on the outside they could see clearly. The woman who spoke now was taller than the rest and wore white platform boots that matched with other punk attire including her dyed green hair that came down to her mid-back. The woman to her left was a tad shorter and had half of her head shaved with the other side of hair falling down over one eye, she had piercings all over her face, fishnets across her chest, and a revealing top. Lastly, the woman on her right had long lace-up boots and her hair was in two pigtails, however, what stood out most was her chunky eyeliner. 

Salter kept pushing forward no matter how or what it felt like she would reach the end of this if it killed her. Just as she could feel herself getting to the end of the field and by proxy close to the girls she felt two fingers touch her forehead, "Gandr," the main woman had said. All Annabelle and Jallter saw was an explosion of dust obscuring Salter's progress. 

"HA Ah aaaaah," Salter's voice echoed throughout the entire area clear as a bell before flames erupted exploding from she was engulfing the entire field. "AVALON!" She yelled, and as the smoke cleared, Annabelle and Jalter saw Salter with a blade pressed to the woman's throat, quickly the two girls took their opportunity to catch up to the servant. 

"I was sent here by Yor Revernat specifically to meet with Angel Killerz she said that you would help me find my friend Harrison Righter," Salter said calmly as she still held the sword to the woman's throat. However, it was clear to see that once the woman knew they were needed and not being hunted relief washed over her. "Yeah no I have no obligation to help that woman just because she works for the association as well," the woman said as she pushed the sword away from her neck and ducked under it to begin walking away. "Gil, Trace let's go," the main woman snapped as the other two girls followed her. "Never turn your ba-" Salter growled before she was interrupted by another voice. "I'll help."

Yor stood there on edge as she looked upon the servant that would have single-handled beaten, Annabelle, Stella, and herself. "I've only come for the spear and I doubt you have any business with it, so I think I'll be leaving now," Scathach said simply walking past Yor whose eyes were obscured by her bangs as her gaze burned holes in the floor. The creek of the door rang out quietly and then Yor finally spoke up, "NO!" Scathach stopped midway through leaving. "What do you mean no," she asked in a condescending tone.

"You can't have that spear it belongs to someone else now," Yor said as she swallowed hard. "Ara ara, well I don't see him here trying to stop me," she taunted knowing full well where Harrison was. "I can't let you take that," Yor said finally making it obvious her intentions. Scathach suddenly jammed the spear into the floor shaking the entire building, "Okay we'll fight for it, I won't use that spear and your servant can't help you out," Scathach sneered as she said it. She knew Yor was a smart girl and wouldn't go head first into such a one-sided match, "Deal," the answer from Yor clearly surprised Scathach however she knew that this magus stood no chance based on the last time they had fought. 

The two girls stared at each other for a long, "Let us take this outside shall we," Scathach countered as she walked outside leaving the spear behind her. Yor looked nervously to BB who now shook her head violently as if to wake up from this nightmare. "BB it's okay I have a plan," Yor said though she doubted if she would be able to pull it off.

'Fuck' Harrison cursed to himself as he could feel his body being tampered with from behind. The mysterious man had decided to tamper with Harrison's body as a homunculus he may be able to disrupt his magic circuits. Not to mention Medusa was back and she made sure Harrison didn't move using just a bit of her mystic eyes to lock him in place. However, it was in this helpless state that something he had yet to see illuminated in front of him. He was getting scarily used to seeing people ripped apart by his eyes, and so started to look past that he saw the death of more abstract things.  Occasionally random spots in space would flicker apart revealing slices in the world. Or, the most important one the contract between Medusa and the mysterious master was illuminated as two thick lines, Harrison knew that if he was to get out of here cutting the contract those two shared would be his only way, that is if he could last long enough to reach that moment.
