Karma leaped backwards, out of the way of Enkidu's chains. A stern look overcame his earlier confidence. Against Gilgamesh alone, he had a good chance. But his green haired friend just had to complicate things.

"What a pain." Karma mumbled, "you can't fight me on your own!"

Gilgamesh smirked, his ever so confident face seeming far more punchable than usual.

"I won't let some mongrel lower my mood." His confidence radiated around him, "After all, I've already beaten you on one front."

"Huh? What the hell do you know that I don't?" Karma tilted his head, "As far as I can tell, I'm still in one peice, and your the coward who needs to fight 2 on 1."

He was attempting to make him faulter through his ego. But it didn't seem very effective. He'd just have to fight them both. A magic circle appeared behind him, once again enhancing all of his abilities.

He projected several swords all around himself, overloading them all with his enhanced capabilities. He launched them all around his two adversaries. Most of them were destroyed mid flight by Gilgamesh, creating a thick layer of smoke to cover Karma's approach.

He emerged from the smoke with a sword in hand. He shot a blast of magic at Gilgamesh. The other ace easily deflected it, but didn't have time to stop his opponents sword from cutting him. The smoke cleared revealing a bleeding Gilgamesh and Karma rapped in chains.

"This is rather unpleasant." Karma joked, "Mind setting me free?"

"Sorry, but this is still our victory." Enkidu apologized.

"Are you so sure."

Gilgamesh drew a sword from his gates while approaching the trapped magus.

"It was a good try," Karma admitted, "but it isn't enough!"

Karma snapped his fingers and a massive magic circle appeared in the sky above them. Both Gilgamesh and Enkidu crumpled to the ground. Karma had used a very straining magecraft to affect the gravity in the vicinity.

"What is this?" The golden king's voice was strained.

"You could call it my trump card." Karma explained their situation, "It's kinda taxing but in this situation it's perfectly worth it."

The chains still wouldn't let up as he struggled to both escape and keep the other two down. How troublesome indeed.

Galahad was exhausted. The ground all around them was destroyed do to the release of two noble phantasms.

"It's amazing that your even standing." Arthur had returned with Lancelot, "but it's obvious you no longer have the energy to fight. Move aside."

"Sorry, but that isn't happening" Harry opened his book once more, "I have more than enough tricks to stall for a little while at least. Maybe if I were Karma, this fight would have already ended."

Seig and bedivere joined him. They stood bravely, yet they held no chance if winning against the other three.

"Allow me to assist." Their King stood with them, "It is a king's duty to assist their people, after all."

Her golden sword glowed brightly. Truly, she had the presence of a good king.

Arthur smiled kindly at his brave sister.

"Very well then," He said, "Let this be a fight to decide this battle."

In the flash of an eye, their blades clashed. Again and again. The first clash pushed Artoria back. The second pushed Arthur. The third through fifth pushed Artoria back again. The seventh seemed undetermined.
