Seriously, things could not have gone easier for team eight. They had barely been traveling when a rival Konoha team literally delivered themselves to them. The three had been cocky because team eight was standing in the open. The by the second day, everyone who had trained in boot camp had learned something, there is no such thing as cover in the forest. In the treetops, there are more horrors than can be classified. Though in this case, Anko had pointed out that there was a nest of jumping leeches. One of those freaks would drain a man dry within five minutes.

It had been a simple process to leave a sticky net on the ground and wait for morons to enter the range of the leeches.

In this case, these morons.

Sure enough, the swarm of leeches jumped all over them sucking out their blood. It was only through Hinata plea that Kiba was willing to save them by burning all the leeches off. The three rival genin however were out cold from the blood loss, but not in any immediate danger. Shino pulled out the scroll and found it to be the earth scroll they had needed.

All in all, the test had only started ten minutes ago, and Team eight only had to get to the tower to pass. Kiba could imagine the look on that damned woman's face when they beat the record on passing the exam.

The three of them headed off for the tower in high spirits. The test was easy compared to boot camp, which had been the whole point. Train hard to fight hard and all that. The test would probably have been much harder if they hadn't trained hard.

But, they weren't cocky. Team eight traveled as quietly and stealthily as possible. The last thing they needed was to get ambushed and have both scrolls taken.

Kiba smelled them first, another team heading in their direction. Hinata saw them with Byakugan and was astounded by the amount of power one of them had. The three of theme dived into cover and waited.

It was a group from Suna. One of them had red hair and a gourd, one was blond, and one was wearing a black suit with makeup on his face. The three from Suna halted as they were confronted by a team from the Hidden in the Rain village.

The battle was short and gruesome. The red head summoned sand to crush the three of them like insects. Hinata had to hold back from vomiting at what she saw with her eyes. The one with makeup picked up the scroll and smiled. They had obtained the scroll they were looking for.

Yet, the redhead looked annoyed.

"Lets go Gaara," Kankuro said happy to get out of the forest. The place creeped him out after he saw the giant spiders.

"No." Gaara said simply.

Temari saw the look in Gaara's eyes. He wanted to kill some more. "Gaara?"

"I'm going to kill him. Mother agrees. Uzumaki dies." Gaara said with a blissful expression. Today he would prove his existence to the world with the orange boy's corpse.

Temari looked over at Kankuro and shrugged. They had warned the boy that this would happen. The only way the boy would be safe was if he kept himself hidden. And Gaara never lost his prey for long.

Today, Uzumaki was going to die.


Team Seven

The three of them moved carefully through the bushes. The last thing they needed was to wake up that sleeping giant tiger half a kilometer away. They had run away from it enough times back at camp. But...Naruto felt Nature calling, insistently.

"Uh guys, I have to go to the bathroom." Naruto said.

Sakura rolled her eyes, "Hurry it up."

Sasuke was content to grunt. The dumbass was always making life difficult at the worst moments.

Naruto headed off behind a tree when he detected a presence. Naruto sighed, can't a guy go to the bathroom in peace? Seriously, there's such a thing as common courtesy. Naruto made a familiar hand sign and summoned two shadow clones to attack while he relieved himself. The two clones both felt the need to go to the bathroom but accepted their role of buying a bit of time.

It was a Hidden in the Rain nin.

Bastard. Wouldn't even let him pee in peace.

The nin was surprised by the level of Naruto. Kage Bushin is a jonin level technique and rarely used at that due to the amount of chakra it took to make even one. Yet Naruto sent two off without breaking a sweat. The nin found himself dashing right and left evading the thrown kunai sent by the clones while the original was focused on relieving himself. The nin found himself boiling with rage that this bastard wasn't concerned about him at had no time to attack the original however as the two clones were making his life miserable as they threw explosive tags at him.

This was bad for the enemy nin. The two others were sure to be here any minute. The orange kid was already too much for him to handle. The others on his team would be enough to tip the balance and get him captured.

In the end, the nin had no choice but to back off. It had been a bad idea to fight this guy alone without his teammates.

Of course he had no idea that Rider and Saber were watching the whole scene closely in their astral forms.

Naruto finished going to the bathroom and smiled with satisfaction. It was good to be a ninja.

Sakura and Sasuke landed in the field as he finished zipping up. "Don't worry, he's gone." Naruto said.

Sakura looked around, "Wait, what?"

"There was another nin who tried to attack me, I drove him off." Naruto said.

Sakura wanted to punch Naruto for letting an enemy get away, but she couldn't fault Naruto for handling an ambush on his own. In the end, she sighed, "We need to move then. Who knows when the enemy will bring reinforcements."

Sasuke and Naruto nodded and the three of them headed out for a new location.

It took some time skulking in the forest, but the three of them had found a good location to hide and plan.

Yet, Sasuke noticed there was a hollow reed sticking out of the ground. He smirked and came up with a plan. This was a chance to show Naruto that he was the best of the team. The thought that Naruto had gotten action without needing help was galling to Sasuke's pride.

"All right," Sasuke said in his most authoritative voice, which was a pale comparison to Saber's. "We need to come up with a way to tell each other that we are who we are if we get separated."

The other two looked at him in confusion, but he continued on. "We'll make a code word just in case. If one of us gets it wrong, assume that the person in a fake."

In the distance, Saber in his astral form was nodding his head, but questioned the value of setting this up so deep in enemy territory. This should have been done before they even entered the forest. Saber mentally added code words to the next boot camp if the village ever did it again. Of course, if the twelve genin got through this exam, it would vindicate the value of the boot camp.

"Remember the nin song Nin Machine?" Sasuke asked. Sakura knew it, but Naruto was drawing a blank.

"'A large amount of enemies is a friend of the shinobi, hide and remain silent. A shinobi must understand the proper time, when the enemy is tired and ill prepared.'" Sasuke said. Sakura memorized it instantly, but Naruto was pissed. The whole thing was way too long.

Saber was echoing his Master's thoughts. Most people would have the call sign of Thunder to be answered with Flash or Alpha to be met with Omega. Why go through all that effort for a call sign when it would be needed in the heat of battle?

Rider was unconcerned about the whole thing as she would put her life on the line to protect her Master.

"Look," Naruto said, "I can't memorize all that. Change it."

Sakura rolled her eyes, that phrase had been beaten into them at the Academy. "It's easy Naruto, Iruka sensei lectured on it for a week."

"Yeah well, you remember my grades back in the academy." Naruto said.

"I'll hold the scroll," Sasuke declared. It was best to keep the scroll with the strongest person in the group. Though who 'strongest' was debatable by unbiased people. Too bad the only ones who were unbiased weren't supposed to be there and were doing their best to stay hidden.

"No seriously," Naruto said, "Change the code."

Before he could argue any further, a powerful gust of wind blew their way. All three were instantly alert. The forest was too dense for wind to penetrate, therefor, it had to be an enemy attack.

Yet, a voice rang out from the distance in the opposite direction of the wind. "UZUMAKI!"

Naruto turned at the mention of his name and paled. It was Gaara, and he looked pissed. Beside Gaara was his Servant prepared to kill him. In the distance, Temari and Kankuro stood averting their eyes from the gruesome sight that was about to unfold.

Behind the group, Orochimaru was pleased at the development. He had planned on attacking and separating the group himself, but this worked fine for him. the jinchuriki from Suna was proving a valuable distraction. As long as he didn't attack dear little Sasuke, the boy could do whatever he wanted in this forest. "You four go wild around here, I'll deal with these ones." Yet, even Orochimaru was nervous about berserker. That monster was the most intimidating thing he had seen in a long time.

Out of the air, a woman with purple hair and a man with white hair appeared in between the Konoha genin and Gaara.

"Get out of here you two." Naruto yelled, "He wants me."

Sakura and Sasuke found themselves running before they even knew it, Berserker had scared the living daylights out of them. The urge to run had overridden their mind and blocked out the two of them asking why Rider and Saber were there. Frankly, they didn't care. As long as those two kept that monster away from them, Sasuke and Sakura were more than happy to leave that monster to the two Servants. The two had no idea that they were jumping from the fire into the frying pan.

"I will kill you Uzumaki," Gaara said gleefully. "Today I will prove my existence over your corpse. Go Berserker."

Saber kicked Naruto into Rider's arms and yelled, "Run!" Achilles was coming too fast for Shirou to protect Naruto. Rider grabbed Naruto despite his protests and ran away as fast as her body would let her. The area was going to be a battlefield of epic proportions, anyone stupid enough to hang around would find out the devastation Servants caused soon enough. Gaara seemed to realize this and vanished in a cloud of sand.

Despite knowing Achilles' weakness, Saber knew that the battle would not be easy. If he had killed the monster soon earlier, this would never have happened, but, Saber was willing to give Gaara second chances. The boy needed the companionship, though it looked like Saber would have to kill Berserker to help the boy. This was a lot like Illya's situation he mused. Both had the same belief that they had to kill people and both had berserkers. Though, Illya was more innocent yet cruel when she killed. Illya was a big believer in slow painful deaths and keeping people alive far longer than their body should have let them live.

"********" Achilles roared as he closed in on his prey ignoring the fleeing Rider. All Berserker saw was the target in front of him, Saber.

"Trace on" Saber intoned as he sent a dozen weapons towards Achilles who batted them away without slowing. Yet, as a thirteenth weapon shot towards Achilles' heel, the monster evaded it easily.

Just because Saber knew Berserker's weakness, didn't mean that the battle would be that easy.

Saber backed away with all speed, but Berserker was far faster.

Berserker unleashed a storm of spear thrusts, slashes, and lunges at Saber, who could barely block and evade the attacks. Saber traced Kansho and Bakuya a dozen times as he was able to divert the attacks by the slimmest of margins sacrificing his swords each time and tracing a new one.

Achilles pushed forward with unrelenting attacks that would have killed lesser men already. Saber was forced back by leaps and steps as each attack threatened to skewer him on the spear. Saber could feel himself backing towards a tree and could not afford to be caught there. The loss of escape would kill him instantly. It would take careful timing to escape the trap.

Time slows for a second

A thrust was coming at him, aiming for his heart.

Saber first begins to move to his left, then changes to the right raising both of his swords to nudge the spear a little too far.

The swords meet the spear shaft, yet, Berserker is too strong. The monster is pushing forward making Saber evade the killing blow, but he is unable to fully evade it.

The spear pierces his left shoulder and slams into a tree.

The pain is unimaginable. The spear of Achilles is no ordinary spear, it holds a special property that the first strike causes an unhealing wound, though not on the scale of Gae Bolg. It takes a second strike in the same spot for the wound to heal as the legend goes.

The spear goes halfway though the tree behind Saber and pins him to it. In a flash, Achilles pulls out his sword. At least that blade is fairly ordinary. All it has is the property to never dull.

Saber has no choice, resisting the pain, he forces his body to pull away from the spear, leaving a gaping wound in his shoulder where the spear hit him. Saber's left arm is now useless for a while. The healing properties of Saber begin to work, though it will take an hour to fully heal.

Too bad there's no time.

Saber ducked as Achilles slashed where he had been a moment ago, feeling a few hairs being trimmed.

Shirou rolled to the right reinforcing his body to the limit. Swords began to sprout all over his body, his muscles became micro swords and he began to sprout wings of blades upon his back. Yet, even as Saber forced his body to move far faster, Berserker was faster still. Saber raised his right arm that was covered in weapons to block a downward slice from Achilles and could feel it as the sword broke many of the blades from the sheer strength of Berserker. Yet, his arm was still sound, and it was just the opening he needed. Saber dashed for a tree on his right and began to run up it.

Unlike the ninja's who used chakra to run up surfaces, Saber used a far cruder method. By Over Reinforcing his feet, Saber grew claws where his toes used to be. Using the enhanced strength in them, Saber was able to use them as leverage like an animal and ran up the side of the tree. Though his speed was far slower than running on a flat surface, Saber was able to put distance between himself and Berserker.

"I am the Bone of my Sword."

"**************" Achilles yelled at the foot of the tree. Achilles yanked his spear out of the other tree and aimed at his enemy.

"Iron is my Blood and Fire is my Heart."

Achilles threw it with all his massive strength sending the weapon at Saber who leaped out of the way onto another tree. Saber slammed his clawed right hand into the tree for support as he got his feet into position to run up even higher. As he began to move up, the tree shook an began to tilt.

Achilles had just cleaved the tree in two below.

Saber leaped for another tree seeing the spear fall past him back to the ground. "I have overcome countless battles undefeated"

Before Saber could land on the tree, Berserker slashed the targeted tree in half causing it to fall away from Saber. Saber traced a spear and threw it at the tree giving him a place to land quickly before jumping towards another tree. Saber had no time for another line of his aria when Berserker threw his spear again.

Saber turned his body so that it pierced his wounded arm. The cast was so powerful that the spear flew through his arm and off into the horizon. Saber knew that the spear would be back, that was one of the lesser known properties of the spear, it would always come back somehow.

Saber slammed into a tree and fell a ways before he was able to smash his right hand into the tree.

Berserker was already at the base of the tree his arm drawn back to slash the tree as well.

Saber knew that this game of cat and mouse had to end, but he still had a ways to go. "Without once retreating, Nor once asking for quarter"

The tree was slashed and falling fast. Saber had to make his choice, fall back or charge. Saber smiled, no there was only one choice he would make. Saber began to run down the sloping tree as it fell and jumped off just before the tree slammed into the ground. Berserker was almost upon him, but Saber was ready with Durandal. Swords clashed as Saber used up on miracle stored within the blade to keep it from shattering. Saber used a second miracle for it to intercept the next sword strike as he heard a voice in the distance.

"Who the hell threw this spear?" a female genin from with glasses and red yelled, not realizing the danger he was in. As decreed by the spear's property, it had come back to it's owner. The spear of Achilles had been hand delivered back to them.

Berserker promptly ran for the girl intending to both kill the witness and get his spear back. Though Achilles had lost his reason, his battle instincts were screaming that he needed all his weapons to defeat his enemy.

Saber traced a sword and threw it at the girl. Cortana, the Sword of Mercy, forged from the same steel as Joyeuse and Durandal. This sword was given the ability to grant the miracle of preventing a wrongful killing. The sword slammed into the red head sending her flying as the spear flew towards Achilles.

Berserker caught his spear and looked for the girl, yet he couldn't sense her. Though his reason was robbed, there was nothing wrong with his senses. Yet, the girl had vanished.

Cortana had done it, it had saved her and cloaked the girl in a shroud hiding her presence from the monster as effectively as if she was of the Assassin class.

Karin was forced to watch as the spear man turned away from her towards the monster that was sprouting weapons from his body. Karin prided herself on her knowledge of Bloodline limits, but this was a new one to her. She looked down at her chest and wanted to scream, the sword had impaled her to the ground, yet as she opened her mouth, no sound came out. She tried to removed the sword and begin basic medical attention, but the sword would not remove itself, not did it cause her any pain or bleeding. In fact, other than it looked horrifying, Karin couldn't even tell if it was even there. She had no sensation that the sword had even cut her.

Karin tried to stand, but her body felt immensely heavy. Forced to remain still, Karin was forced to watch as the man who threw the sword into her clashed with the spearman. She watched as the swordsman fought with one arm, while the left arm hung uselessly at his side. Karin could tell that the man had given up the chance to run saving her life. Karin just hoped it didn't kill him.

Looking back, Karin had done a stupid thing separating herself from her team to hunt down the one who threw the spear and nearly killed her. Yet, she had assured her two fellows from the hidden in the grass village that she was more than capable of handling herself. She was the strongest on her team. Now, after seeing the two in action, she realized how weak she really was.

All around her, a clearing had formed from trees being severed cleanly in one hit. Woodcutters had to saw at trees this thick, yet, the trees had clearly been cut in a single swing telling how much power had gone into the attacks. Before her, a battle of titans was playing out in front of her causing Karin to silently pray for the creature with tattered red clothes. For, if the spearman killed the other one, she was sure that she would be next.

Saber clashed with Berserk unleashing a storm of attacks with various weapons each of them shattered after a single blow. Yet, everything was going fairly well in Saber's opinion, he was still alive, and he could still fight. Now, if only Rider would get back to him. Where was she anyway?

No time for that though, he had to deal with Berserker. Again, a sword was destroyed from the power of Berserker's attacks. This time, Saber traced one of his most powerful weapons, Nine Lives. The sword that was more of a boulder than a blade.

"Nine Lives Blade Works." Saber yelled as he unleashed a powerful attack. Nine Live Blade works, a bastardized attack of the Hundred Lives Blade Works belonging to Herakles. Herakles created that attack to slay all one hundred heads of the dreaded Hydra in an instant. Though Saber could only use nine of the hundred attacks, each attack was a lethal blow...normally.

The First strike should have cleaved the head off at the neck, but the shield intercepted the blow.

The Second should have cleaved Achilles from Head to groin, but the helmet resisted the attack

The Third should have cut his torso off of his hips but the armor would not be cut.

The Fourth should have cut from shoulder to hip but the shield was in the way.

The Fifth should have pierced his heart yet the armor would not let it happen.

The Sixth should have cut Achilles from the other shoulder to hip only to be countered with the sword of Achilles

The Seventh should have cut off Achilles' legs, but the Hephaestus had done too good a job on the armor.

The Eighth should have destroyed the lungs, but the shield took the blow instead.

The Final blow was the only one that did damage of any sort. It should have ripped Berserker's face off, but the helm took most of the blow. Yet, Achilles received a scratch for the first time in the entire match. For the first time in memory, Achilles bled from a wound that was not in his heel...

And it pissed him off.

"****************************" Achilles roared in fury. Somewhere in the corner of his mind, the part of him that had not let itself be consumed by madness burned with rage. Not even Hector could have done such an affront to him.

Saber held Nine Lives in front of him as a shield, yet the blow from Achilles' spear sent him flying backwards nearly knocking him off his feet onto his back. If that had happened, the entire fight would have been over.

'Where the hell is rider?' Saber thought. "Searching for my final end" he chanted as he pulled back a bit even as Berserker charged him.

In that moment, Saber traced a dozen weapons from various angles to try to hit Achilles in the heel, yet, the monster out ran or dodged every point blank attack. There was a reason that Achilles was the champion of the Achaeans in the Trojan war. Even in the Age of the Gods, Achilles had known no match for his strength and speed. Only Herackles, if he had not already ascended to Godhood at the time, would have been a match for the man.

How could a modern hero have a chance against him?

Because, there was no choice.

Achilles threw his spear ahead of him smacking Nine Lives out of Saber's hand. There was no time to trace a weapon, Saber had to use the one weapon he had on him.

Saber grabbed his ruined left arm and pulled.

The arm tore off. Saber pumped as much Prana as he could into the arm causing it to sprout countless blades. The blades pierced Saber's right hand and fused itself to him. The stump on his left should ceased to bleed as swords cut off the blood flow. Truthfully, Shirou had only used this move twice in his life, once against Seras and again against the White Beast of Gaia. Seras had even complimented him on the ability and had offered to make him a vampire.

Of course Saber refused, but that wasn't surprising for either of them at the time.

Saber swung his arm countering Berserker's attack. For the first time in the fight, Saber had a weapon that would not shatter as he blocked Achilles' attacks. Even as the blades shattered on the arm, new ones sprouted.

The two sent waves of attacks against each other, thrusts, jabs, slashes, parries, every kind of attack possible as the two tried to kill each other. "As long as she waits, I shall fight" Saber chanted as he attacked.

Achilles raged at the one who dared to oppose his attacks. Not even Hector had lasted as long as this.

Saber could tell his left arm was breaking under the stress inflicted upon it, yet, it had to hold on for a bit longer. He just needed a chance to finish the aria. Yet, Achilles was pushing him to the limit.

'What the hell is going on Rider?' Saber thought. Rider should have just gone off a distance and come back to help him. This whole thing was going on half an hour without back up. Saber mentally sighed, like every plan, this one had gone to hell once the enemy was met. Ah well, there was a reason Saber made back up plans.

Saber redirected a storm of attacks from Achilles's spear waiting for the perfect moment. Again he was being forced back towards the trees and would have to try the gamble again. The problem was, he was missing an arm and the difference in strength would be his doom. He needed to try something else.

A gamble.

Risky, but it would buy him the time he needed.

The spear comes towards him, resolute on finishing Saber off. Saber raises his left knee and Reinforces it to the limit, causing it to sprout almost as many weapons as his left arm. The pain is unimaginable as he takes the blow. His blood in on fire, his leg is dipped in lava, and the damned spear goes right through his left leg.

Saber takes that opening and leaps up and back with his one good leg. His left leg is all but ruined as he leaps back. It hangs uselessly on thin threads of tendons and muscles.

Saber slams his back into the tree high about thirty feet in the air. The wings on his back imbed themselves into the tree.

"Here in Unlimited Blade Works" Saber finished relieved at the sight before him.

The world was on fire.

Swords appear everywhere as the environment changes. Where once was a tree becomes a hill that Saber stands upon with Achilles at the foot of the hill. Day turns to night with a full moon. Rusting gears rotate in the sky churning an endless supply of weapons.

"**********" Achilles roars as he charges up the hill.

Saber raises his good arm and points it at Achilles. Countless weapons fly towards Achilles. Berserker tries to use his speed and skills to deflect every attack, but many get through, only to bounce of his skin and armor.

Saber glares at the monster before him as he concentrates. More and more weapons fly towards the offending target intent to distract the monster while several poisonous and cursed weapons fly towards the heel.

Just as the weapons are about to kill the monster...he vanishes. No, not vanished, he was saved. The Master had used a command seal to whisk Berserker away. Nothing should have been able to escape his bounded field, but it seemed that the Seals allow for a miracle to occur and saved Achilles from his fate.

Saber released his Reality Marble and prepared to fight again. Yet, no follow up attack came for him.

Shirou sighed, all that work for nothing. The best he had done was force the master to use his second Seal. Mentally he shrugged, next time he would have Rider with him. He looked over to see the red head girl stand up, Cortanta had vanished with the miracle no longer needed.

"Oh my God," the red head cried as she looked Saber over. She offered her arm, "Bite me." She commanded. It would drain her heavily, but she swore she would save her savior if it was the last thing she did.

Saber focused on his left arm fused with his right hand. The collection of blades faded and became a ruined left arm again. Saber took his left arm and slammed it into his left shoulder. Massive blades sprouted from the wound locking it back into place.

Karin almost vomited from the sight. The man didn't seem to care that his left arm was useless and bleeding and his left leg was hanging on a thread.

Shirou traced Avalon and held it in his right hand. He could feel his wounds healing faster than normal for the Saber class. He figured that he would need five minutes before he could stand and fifteen minutes before he could fight again.

"I fail to see why you want me to bite you." saber said as he looked at her scarred arm. There were numerous bite marks on her arm. Maybe she had some sort of fetish...

"Just bite my arm and I can heal you." Karin said in a panic. it was a special ability of hers. When a person bit her, she could use her chakra to heal someone.

Saber chuckled, "No thanks, I'm good. Just give me a few minutes."

"In a few minutes you're going to bleed out!" Karin yelled.

Saber pointed at her, "Why are you so adamant on helping a potential threat. Don't you think that I might be an enemy?"

Karin thrust her arm into his mouth preparing to feel pain. "Look you moron, you saved my life, don't think I'm an idiot. I could tell that the sword saved my life somehow. Right now I want to help you so I will, so bite you moron."

Saber pushed her arm away, "Look, I'm fine, I've been through worse and got better."

Karin pointed at his leg intending to tell him that his leg was irreparable and nothing could have topped that short of dying, but then...she saw it. His muscles were reattaching, rather quickly if truth be told. The whole thing looked like some sort of horror film where the monster regenerated from a hideous wound before continuing the chase for the protagonists of the films.

"H-How?" Karin stammered.

"I told you, I've been through worse. Now, please leave. While I am not a participant in these exams, it is not safe to be near me. The other one might come back soon and I don't know if I can protect you." Shirou said.

Karin nodded, amazed at the healing powers of this strange man. Karin headed back towards her team blushing. The man had the most impressive chest she ever saw. His eyes were like polished steel, and his hair made him look exotic rather than old. Karin could feel herself developing a crush on the man, but knew she would get in the way if the spearman showed up again.

'Why did I bring the spear with me anyway?' Karin thought. It seemed like a good idea as soon as she touched the spear. Mentally, Karin shrugged, she had to get back to her team.

Saber waited for his body to recover fully expecting another attack, but no third attempt on his life came. It seemed that Berserker's master had fled the scene entirely. Saber shrugged as he stood up. He looked around one more time to see where Rider was, but he could not detect her. This was not good. Whatever it was, something was keeping Rider away from him. It had to be a treat to Naruto. Saber began to walk as fast as his damaged body would let him, feeling his fingers returning to his control.

'Hang on you two.' Saber thought as he shifted to astral form. He would be there soon enough.


Author's note: yes, this is rather short, but I wanted this to be a second battle between Berserker and Saber. The third and Final round will be epic in it's own way, but I hope that this tides you all over until my finals end. been trying to post for two days but due to site errors, it wouldn't let me. Found a way around it for now...
