Opening Song: moving soul by Minami Kuribayashi (Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya 2wei! Opening song)

"Leo! Gawain!"

"It's nice to see you all chipper."

"How did you get closer without being detected by Bazett's runes!?" Luvia asked as they all prepared for combat. Gudako cursed as she tried to call back to Miya.

He's cut off all communication from other eras here. Your brother seems to want to keep you right here.

"To answer your question, I just hacked into the system that surrounds this building. I can disable any traps laid out either by magecraft or some other means..." Leo strides forward slowly.

"Hah! Don't bother looking for your main target, Harway! You won't find the other half of your vessel here! Even if you did take us to Gudao, we'll just take you all down and mission accomplished!" Mordred says as everyone prepared for battle.

"Oh? So you did take safety precautions. But," he paused while smirking confidently "But what?" Seijiro asked carefully as Gawain stood before them with Galatine wielded as well "If you think by not taking the Holy Grail from the Ainsworths with you you're all good...then you're dead wrong." Leo then showed the marks on his skin once more, it glowed significantly brighter.

Euryale, Ishtar, EMIYA, Chloe and Chiron prepared their bows.

"What are you talking about? You cannot complete your goal if Miya isn't here. You cannot take Miyu, Chloe and Illya because their power is now insufficient for you to control. You cannot complete your Black Greater Grail." Chris said while Leo smirked, laughing a little

"You really think that what we are after as vessels are those four?" he cackles again and everyone's eyebrow raised "Don't underestimate the Lord's intentions, People of the Rendezvous. Though, it is true that we WERE after this child you rescued, you named her Miya, right? But then, we found another sufficient power to complete the Black Greater Grail...." Leo continues as the Servants glared at him

"I shouldn't say anything more. Gawain!" he orders "Understood..." his sword glowed gold

"Noble Phantasm from the get-go!? Okay then, Archers attack him! The rest, protect all Archers. Masters, accompany me in taking down Leo! Go, move!!!" Gudako ordered and everyone nodded

"Your efforts are useless!" he typed something in the air as if there was an invisible keyboard in front of him. He tried to stun every Servant in sight but for some reason, the Servants from the Rendezvous side cannot be stunned any longer than 10 milliseconds.

The fight raged on...

***

"Excalibur..."

"Here it comes again!"

"GALATINE!!!"

The people of Rendezvous dodge the huge blow from Galatine. They've been at it for who knows how long and they've just exited the building they were resting in. Just in time, too, because the building suddenly collapsed, because of repeated activation of Noble Phantasms.

Gudako used her twin swords to attack Leo "Hmm...your posture is not like any of your parents, different from what the Lord informed us of...." he said as the other Masters aid her and their Servants "Heh. You guys aren't the only one whose been busy, ya know!" Gudako retorted as Leo dodges slash after slash from her twin swords

"Though, I find this twin-sword style similar to a certain Servant.... Miyamoto Musashi, right?"

"Maybe, maybe NOT!!" Gudako infused magic to her feet to increase her speed and swung her blades again towards Leo. She may seem confident but she knows she's fighting a losing battle. They have to find a hole - or a way to penetrate both enemies. Or Gudao will make good use of their corpses as sacrifices for the Black Greater Grail.
