Rider:"
OH ŠARO CATCH VILA RAVIOLA

As embarrassed master makes his last stand against hero of myth, on top of grand mansion stands a hunter looking at his prey.
Moon is high and full , a true hunters moon.
It might be true that a true hunter always catches is prey but that is also why there isn't as many hunters as grains of sand but as fingers on butchers hand.

Is he going to remain a true hunter or become a pray?
That is about to be revealed.

Fiore:"I might not have a horse to show you, or Offensive Noble Phantasm to match you with BUT I FIORE DEI LIBERI WILL NOT FALL"

Stefan:"Indeed you will not fall friend. I can not promise you will like the reason tho." he says solely to himself.

So looking at high moon,as hero begins his charge and master of sword his last stand he prays.

Stefan:" ~Price for surpassing human limits~"

Not to a God but himself.

Stefan:"~Is payed not just in pools of blood~"

Because his prayer is asking of himself to surpass Gods.

Stefan:"~But also in mountings of regrets~"

And so he let's himself fall

Stefan:"~Oh my body run wild~"

But a fall won't be quick enough

Stefan:"~Oh my soul burn on fire~"

So he positions his feet to jump off the wall and towards his enemy

Stefan:"~And oh my heart~"

And as after he tightens his muscles and takes aim

Stefan:"~Explode!~"

And explode he does, and so a horse moving like lightning

Stefan:"CRIMSON SHOT"

meets a kick of shooting star.

SCENE END

On the other side of mansion she doesn't care for theatrics like her master.

Nightingale:"Lancer any injured?!" she says while blowing away army of dead with her grenade.

Lancer:"Oh Berserker we never met but I heard about you, it's my honor. And no nobody besides me I think." he replies while continuing to slash up undead with weapons he carries on himself.

Nightingale:"What is with these enemies? Are they just immortal?"

Lancer:"Seems to be the case. I have a Noble Phantasm that should be able to take care of them but i'll need a bit of time I don't have to use it in."

Nightingale:"Don't worry then. My Noble Phantasm will give you as much time as you need." says the nurse with a smile. Her Noble Phantasm is definitely perfect for this situation.

Lancer:"All right then i'm ready when you are!"

It's not a noble phantasm that harms.

Nightingale:"Then let the treatment commence!"

It represents her pure wish as a nurse from battlefield.
Her pure wish for stop of conflict.

Nightingale:"I am not an angel."
Or is she?

Nightingale:"I am not an angel."
Even if not..

Nightingale:"Nor am I a goddess."

A figure of a white nurse with long hair and a sword appears behind her.

Nightingale:"Even so, I am...!"
And as the figure brings down her sword of kindness.

Nightingale:"Nightingale Pledge! "
Her wish for peace is granted, if on a small scale.
The horde of dead stops or it might be better to say it can't continue.
Every time they try to attack Lancer they trip and fall either besides him or in front of him.

Lancer:"Ah so this is your Noble Phantasm. Forced area of peace. How beatifu- ugh"

Nightingale:"Let me treat your wounds and then you can cast your Noble Phantasm " she says while moving Lancers body like a body of a doll hurrying to close his wounds which is helped by effect of Nightingale Pledge.

SCENE END

And where lightning and shooting star meet only destruction is left, but what about them.

On one side lying on the ground, a horse and his Rider both seemingly with wounds on their head.
On the other Hanes still stoically unmoving , while his servant sits on the ground.

Fiore:"Why *caugh* WHY?! I could have done it somehow! Why did you save me?!"

And next to him is landed shooting star.
His skin is red. His blood vessels are bulging like they want to pop out of his skin, and blood is spraying out of every slightest cut he has.
And his eyes... His sclera is red from blood vessels in his eyes bursting, but even so.
Even if his leg which he kicked with looks like a ruin and his body looks like a bomb made out of blood he stands tall and looks at his friend.

Stefan:"I'm sorry you'll get another chance but I couldn't risk it now."

Fiore:"You are sorry? My honor as Master of Sword was pissed upon but you are sorry... fuck yourslef" he says silently while starting to cry.

Stefan:I'm sorry for Fiore but I had to Rider was too strong. Now to finish this I can't waste time in this fo-"Ugh?!"

Rider:"Oof damn that was a truly great strike! You deserve every praise!" he says while standing up and patting the wound on his head.

Rider:"But sadly it wasn't enough to take down me and my friend Šarac!" he says while raising his fist in the air triumphantly .

A strike that divine yet Rider was barely hurt.
But Stefan didn't care about that, he didn't have time to care.
The form he is using isn't something that is meant to ever really be used.

Seeing how helpless situation looks Hanes finally steps forward.

Hanes:"Let me help you I should be able-"

Only to be cought by collar by Stefan.

Stefan:"I am sorry Hanes,but no help. That is my prey. You can however help the guys on the other side. " Saying that he picks up Hanes and throws him in air towards other wing.

Hanes:"Wait wait what are yo-" he says panicking seeming changing his tone of voice for first time.

Hanes:"SABER."

Saber:"I guess I can at least catch you..."

Stefan:Now back to our business.

Marko:"I'm surprised you refused help. Aren't you in too bad of state to afford that?"

Stefan:" Huh

What do you think gives me will to fight?

Wish to protect my friends, innocent workers and maids?

No.

My goals are utterly selfish.

I see an amazing enemy and I want to take him down.

THAT IS THE WISH OF THIS DEVIL"

Moment after he finishes talking he rushes to Marko.

Expecting a hit or tackle Marko readies himself but neither come, instead Stefan stops right in front of him and throws a roundhouse kick to his face.

Due to how close he is Stefan basically has to preform a standing split to achieve that, but that is no issue as flexibility is to be expected from warrior.

He follows up the kick with lightning fast barrage of punches to his solar plexus and liver. It's safer to aim for them cause they are in front of Stefan due to difference in size.

Marko finally retaliates by bringing down both of his arms which were thrown into air earlier from kick.

Stefan dodges as if it was natural, as if he planned to dodge them all along.

Marko's fists hit the ground and make small craters.

He looks up to where Stefan dodged but he isn't there anymore and before he can react Stefan wraps his arms around Marko's neck.

A rear naked choke.

For a person to pass out from properly performed one takes only 4 seconds however Stefan knows to expect more resilience from a legendary hero.

4 seconds have passed and Marko decided on his course of action.

In 2 seconds he climbs onto Šarac and they jump into sky,before Marko jumps off with his back facing the ground.

"This is a bit much even for me" thinks Stefan before letting go and climbing on top of Marko.

Stefan:"This however gives me a perfect shot at this!" as he says that Stefan's leg muscles explode and kick off Marko.

This sent him to hit the ground like a meteor and slowed down Stefan's fall.

Marko however quickly regains his composure and faces now landed Stefan.

Marko:" May god forgive me but I don't think I'll be able to take on this fight fairly" he says while a mace materialises in his hand.

Stefan:"Don't worry nobody expects prey to show fairness towards hunter. "

Now Marko rushes to Stefan and attacks him with his mace.

By a hair Stefan dodges it.

That wasn't because mace almost hit him but because it absolutely wouldn't hit him.

One of the effects of Stefan's current form that's already been explained is his increased heart rate.

That is however only one of 3 components, second being increased brains processing speed.

As one of the effects this makes time slow down in Stefan's head which allows him to doge attacks with perfect precision, making his enemy think they will land the hit until the last moment.

This creates a moment of confusion which Stefan capitalizes on. He throws 2 low kicks to Marko's legs in hope of further damaging his mobility, then he kicks him behind the knee causing Marko to fall on his knees after which he lands a knee to his chin.

Stefan :Still barely any damage but we are getting there. "Come on Marko! На муци се познају јунаци!(Approx:When trouble comes is when heroes will show)"

Taunting in his mother language seems to work and Marko throws his mace towards Stefan which he catches before it materializes.

Marko proceeds to pull out a sword but what truly makes the difference is something Marko doesn't know and that is that Stefan is near his limit in this form.

The move he is about to use. It's meant to allow him to reach his top speed and surpass it without any acceleration.
He loosens his body, little by little it becomes like water. Before long he starts to fall. Falling face first towards ground, but that is only natural. Water couldn't stand straight under Stefan's 160kg of weight, of course it would splatter on the ground... but... that isn't what Stefan plans.
The moment before his body reaches the ground he stops being water. He strains all the muscles in his body with single goal in mind.

Stefan:MOVE FORWARD!

And so what happens when water suddenly becomes solid? I don't know! But in this case, it becomes lightning!.

Stefan: ~Crimson lightning charge~

With explosion at his feet he runs up to Rider in a moment leaving a trail of blood in the air.
A liver shot with his left arm is first attack he throws.
Rider seems to feel it at least and so he begins fighting back.
He throws more of his unskillful shots while Stefan tries every weak spot he remembers but he barely does anything.

Stefan:"To be able to take and return attacks while i'm in this form, your attack and durability must be EX." That's a little extreme even considering legends about him I know . Still I ca-

He let's out a gurgle as he nears his limit.

SCENE END

Nightingale:"Ok you can do it now."

Lancer:"Thank you Berserker. Let me shine for a bit now."

Lancer plants his weapon vertically in front of himself in the ground then he puts his hand in prayer and prays.

" My true name is Musashibou Benkei! Noble phantasm release "Moon! Pilgrimage of the Five Hundred Arhat." "

One of Benkei's 3 noble phantasms. It summons 500 Arhat that seek enlightenment and all that stand in their path risk being taken on journey with them. Because of this it is not an attemp to cause harm so it is allowed within Nightingale's Pledge even tho this would usually lead to death of anyone taken on the journey.
Benkei hoped to release tormented souls of the dead with his Noble Phantasm, but it seems it was unnecessary. True Benkei's Noble Phantasm only has a chance to take someone to enlightenment but of zombies present none have done so. Which means...

Benkei:"I'm sorry, I guessed their souls were still trapped inside but it seems that they are just equivalents of meat puppets. However that means if the puppeteer dies they will be stopped. I know it must be hard but I must request that you keep up your Noble Phantasm while I locate the source and eliminate it!"

Just as Benkei readies himself a familiar voice comes.

Fiore:"That won't be necessary." as he says that he lands with his Master ,Hanes, in hand. "You can help with this, right Master?"

Hanes:"Indeed I can if these are just meat puppets I can." he stands on his feet slightly embarrassed.

Hanes:"Berserker, I'll have to ask you to release your Noble Phantasm on my command and then you all need to defend the mansion. Then I come in."

All 3:"Understood."

Hanes tightens his gloves, it seems like he will have to get his hands dirty.

Hanes:"PREPARE!" he raises his hand reaching for the sky.

Benkei grips his spear and halberd and activates his skill Imposing Stance once again, making himself target of zombies.
Nightingale prepares bomb in one hand and her pepper-box revolver in another.
Fiore draws his sword,he is still grumpy about being saved earlier but he won't let that stop him from showing off his skills, even if with only one hand.

Hanes:"NOW!" and he let's his hand down commanding all servant to attcack

Noble Phantasm disappears and massacre begins.
Benkei sends sliced up bodies flying before switching to another weapon and destroying more zombies.
Nightingale blows a whole crowd of zombies with a grenade and unleashes all bullets in her gun with speed of lightning. Once her gun is empty she proceeds to grab one of zombies by it's leg and use it as a flail to hit other zombies. After her current "weapon" is destroyed she simply picks another.
Fiore unlike other two doesn't destroy his enemies with overwhelming force but with skill and speed. He slices zombies so that they can't even be recognized as humans anymore and with no moment of pause he dashes to next group to do the same.
What is happening can truly only be described as massacre. But it's not enough.

Even when destroyed beyond recognition the army of dead quickly rises again to continue their pursuit.

Which is where Hanes comes in.

Hanes:"I am cursed existence." He closes his eyes as he recites

"

Unable to create

Unable to destroy

This is only magic allowed to me HANES

"
He runs up to mass of dead that are trying to revive and readies his fist as it gloves bright green.

"BANISHMENT OF GRACE" with his scream he punches head off one of revived zombie and it falls, but...

Hanes:"Incantation has been cast." he says oh so ever monotonously.

The zombie Hanes killed doesn't revive, in fact none do anymore.
Hanes:"The only magecraft available to me is to unable other peoples magecraft. That is me Hanes(Banishment of Grace)!"

With enemies being mortal once again they are quickly discarded.
All that's left is pile of corpses.

Nightingale:"Tsk. You all can feel it?"

Benkei:"Yes whoever was behind the attack has just escaped, I can't feel servent presence I felt up to now."

Nightingale:"Yes but I can still feel- guh MASTER!"

As Nightingale says that they begin their rush but just moment before they get to where Stefan and Marko are... BOOOOOM

An explosion is heard.

When they arrive they see Marko with a bloody imprint of fist on left side of his rib-cage and Stefan standing, skin still red as blood he is covered with, and that is constantly sprinkling out of him and his right arm seeming like it went trough a meat grinder.

Nightingale:"What the hell, MASTER!"

Stefan:"Stay back, I finally got him nicely."

Marko:"That you did. I think any humans liver would have exploded. But do you really plan to fight me like that."

Stefan:"You are my prey and i am hunter , it is natural."

Marko:"Then heal your wounds and hunt me some other time. This operation was unsuccessful either way." he says with a smile on his excited face.

Stefan:"Running huh, I can't blame you. Well it definitely works in my favor this time."

Marko:"Oh I wasn't sure about retreating but command spell summoning me back has already been used. Well then till next time. Бог ће дати да се опет видимо! " and with that line and a wave of his hand he disappears.

Fiore:"What a funny guy. I wonder what he said at he end."

Stefan:"He said God will let us see aga-" right before finishing his sentence he faints and falls.
