"Oh I do love Drama." Da Vinci giggled as she looked towards the containers filled with homunculus.
She already had made the guards fall asleep as she walked through the underground lab, laying multiple hidden devices all over the place. She walked over to one of the test tubes, where a female homunculus was and then tapped the buttons and grinned.
"Let's set you all free." She said and the test tubes were all drained of water and saw them all looking confused at how they were all still alive. They all turned once they saw their Savior, who had a grin on her face.
"It will take the people of this castle at least another few months to have more you. Now, all of you please head to the center of the room, and let's get out of here!" Da Vinci said cheerfully and the homunculus all gathered to the center, with a bit of help from the caster because they were all like new children who couldn't walk.
Once she had them all there, she transported them all to Solomon's underground basement, the caster workshop. Merlin and Ugo will be surprised but she'll talk to them later about it. Now, what to do next?
Her master said she could go wild if she wanted but that wasn't her style, unless she was angry, but she couldn't bring herself to do such thing to such an amazing workshop.
"Acienvbron, I must say, this place is amazing. I can't destroy it but who says I can't steel all your information and make use of it for myself?" She giggled and walked up to one the computers and touched it with her staff.
The star shape orb in her staff began to glow purple as all the computers, devices and the entire work shop lot up as all the information was stolen into her staff. A few seconds later is was done, and to make things more fun...
"Let's leave you all with a complete blank state of computers!" And slammed the butt of her staff into the ground, erasing all information in every single device in the castle.
Da Vinci knows better than to mess with another caster's workshop but considering this an official holy grail war she is in, she can have a little fun. As she walked through now the golem workshop she was amazed by everything and smiled, and teleported out of the castle her job done, with a satisfying smirk on her face.

"All down here master! Boy I had fun!" Do Vinci reported to Funuka, who was installed into Hassan of Serenity card.
Her skin had turned dark tan, and wore the mask of the Hassan's on her face, hiding her identity. As she carefully snuck around the shadows, she arrived to the entrance of the castle, where Darnic was with his servants along with Astofol's and Frankenstein's Masters. Solomon watched in silence until she sent him a message.
"Uncle, what's going on?" She said as she went into his shadow.
Solomon was silent then spoke.
"They plan to capture Berserker of red. My guess Darnic wants me to watch this because he knows I was once a master in a holy grail war. Really? Trying to get me to join him. Changing the subject, what did you do?" He said she giggled.
"Oh I did plenty. I feel sorry for doing this to Berserker, Archer, Saber, and Rider of Black, but I it had to be done. I had Caster cut off their magical energy supplies." She said and Solomon nodded.
"Did you have her kill the homunculus?" He said.
"Uh...no! Why would I do that?! Hell, they may be artificially born but even I'm not cruel enough to simply end them! They are human also!" She said and he chuckled.
"It's alright. Anyway, I think this is where it's your turn." Solomon said and she grinned.

"HAHAHA!! GWUAH!! BEHOLD OPPRESSOR!! MY MIGHT WILL WREAK HAVOC UPON YOUR ARROGANCE!! HAHAHA!!" Spartus laughed as poor Astofol used his lance to block the Berserker's frighting attacks, literally cutting a tree to pieces with a mere swing of his sword.
"Oh boy..." Astofol sighed as he jumped and landed on the tree stump that was left, " Let those afar listen; those who are near can see. I am one of Charlemagne's Paladi--NYHAAA!!" The poor boy screamed as the Berserker's landed a few millimeters from his face and quickly jumped back.
"At least let me finish!! I haven't had an opportunity to in so long!!" Astofol whines and Spartus charged at him, cackling.
"If that's what you want, that's what you'll get!" The rider grinned and ready his lance, as it began to glow and a spiral of golden energy grew at the tip, "Trap of Argalia!!" And I blinding speed, he shot past Spartacus, cutting the Berserker's leg off, and ir dissolved to gold dust.
The Berserker laughed more but then looked up, noticing a change in the flow of the air, but just continued to laugh and staggered as he saw his leg gone.
"You see, this lance returns what it strikes to its spiritual form. Awesome huh?" Astofol said proudly but was confused when the Berserker just laughed.
"You think that's going to stop me?!" Spartacus laughed as he raised his sword to strike, but spikes came from the ground and impaled him.
"Clavery is here! See you later! Peace!" The rider saif and walked away, and the Berserker turned.
On a black armor horse, Vlad rode on it and was followed by Darnic, Solomon and Avicebron. Solomon was silent and watched, noticing the small amount of mist in the air, and inwardly smirked. In a normal mages eye, it would look like dust, but in reality....it was poison.
"Rebellious Berserker of Red!" Vlad boomed, "If you seek the one in power, you are facing him." The lancer said and Spartacus laughed.
"Are you the oppressor? You shall now face my wrath! " Spartacus laughed and broke free from the spikes, but before he could take another step, Avicebron snapped his fingers and earth rose from the ground and trapped him.
Vlad raised his hand, red dark energy surrounded it, "Kazikli Bey." And then crushed it, as Spartacus sword stopped a few inches from his face.
"Your rebellion is against the oppression of the weak by the powerful. That is noble." Vlad said and more spike impaled the Berserker, "I am tempted to show respect to a rebel." He said and Spartacus sword dropped to the ground.
"I will crush you oppressor!" The berserker yelled.
"Fall, Rebel." Vlad said and the final blow on the Berserker, was a spike threw the throat that silence him.
Vlad turn away "He is yours."
Astofol's and Avicebron's master watched in silence as Solomon did.
"Nothing more for me to do, right? See you guys later!" Astofol tried to sneak off but his master stopped him.
"Rider!" Celenike said coldly.
"Itatatatata!!! My poor back!! I think I need to lie down!!" Astofol faked he was injured.
Darnic was silent then turned to Avicebron.
"Caster, I'll now serve his path and force him into a new contract. Assist me." Darnic said.
"As you wish." The caster said.
"Celenike, Roche, help me as well." Darnic said.
"Okay!" Roche said.
"Fine." Celenike said.
