2/25/2024 San Aldecado, Siesta City Midnight - Clear Sky
Third Person POV
Where the battle has left off… Another Lancer comes face to face with his opponent hovering in the air… True Lancer. They both stared down at each other as Achilles twirling his spear and prepared his combat stance. True Lancer revs up her thrusters as she flies up to loop around the big air to gain more speed as she breaks the sound barrier of 0.3 seconds as the buildings surrounding her cause the glass to shatter from the sonic boom. While Another Lancer then prepares his footing as he dashes off into ludicrous speed as he proceeds to run faster and faster to the point where he leaps off into the air like a streaking bullet. The Two Lancers were on collision course as their respective blades were about to meet. As the blades tip finally collide, the lightning sparks of green and blue meet as it caused a violent reaction, causing a extremely bursts of wind that blew all over the district as Bryce felt it as he was about to get a drink from his mug from the bar as the wind blew it away, causing the mug to shatter.
"Hey! I was about to drink that!" Bryce exclaimed in annoyance as one of the soldiers arrived next to him as he was holding on to an APC.
BlackSteel Soldier 1: "S-Sir… What's even going on!? We're confused, sir!"
"That right there… is the example of two Servants fighting at full power. NOW THIS IS WHAT I LIKE TO SEE!" Bryce hyped himself up as he and his group of soldiers continued to watch the battle unfold.
The blades continue to clash as it causes it to bounce off. True Lancer gains the advantage as she fires one of her armaments installed by BlackSteel to shoot clusters of missiles right at him as Another Lancer noticed as he proceeds to dodge while controlling his body to avoid and slashing the projectiles. But some of the missiles had missed and destroyed some of the buildings which set off for explosions, even on the streets. Another Lancer lands on the ground as True Lancer lowers to hover on the asphalt as she grabs out twin vulcan miniguns from her hips as the barrel starts to wind up and pulled the triggers
[BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!]
Tons of bullets were directly right at him with the loudest gunfire. Achilles then proceeds to act like the daredevil he is by running straight towards her as he spun his spear to deflect most of the bullets away. He finally steps right into her range as he prepares his swing from his lance, swinging it to the left.
[SLICE!]
He only misses but ends up cutting up True Lancer's gatling guns that BlackSteel gave to her. Yet, she was not pleased with his aggressiveness.
"You insolent brat… Master gave me those toys to put to good use and you destroyed them." True Lancer spat in arrogance as she grits her teeth.
"So? Do you really think I care? Your firearms means nothing to me. All it does is slow me down. But you made a big mistake for letting me come to your range. And I'll keep doing it again until you're dead. This fight has already begun!" Another Lancer then points his spear at her. Though, she smiled a bit.
"Very well… You're giving me a much more clear reason to kill you even more. It'll make my Master happy by the time you're gone.~" True Lancer then uses her cluster of missiles again but this time it was more than just ten… it was doubled.
"To think that you would do that again…" Another Lancer sighed as he proceeded to quickly swing his spear around in the air when the missiles were close into his range.
All of the missiles were sliced in half as it exploded as a result. But there was one missile coming out of the smoke which he didn't have time to react when he thrusted his spear's tip to the missile, it exploded, causing him to be pushed back by such force as he rolled on the asphalt until he lands on two feet as he stabbed his spear on the street to slow the speed down. He looked at what was in front where True Lancer had boosted herself to gain speed. She uses her dragon arms and grabs his head, dragging him on the street as it leaves a destroyed path on the street the more she gains speed. She then hurls him to the air as he starts to crash through the apartments of Vaporsea Hotel… where Ryuga currently resides as it blasted through the hole on the second floor along with the portion of the roof being destroyed in the process. Another Lancer then adjusts himself into the air where he sees his enemy coming straight at him. He blocks the incoming bladed attack from True Lancer as he was sent crashing down into the house. Achilles wakes up as he withstood this damage as he saw something in the air. True Lancer dives down and begins to shift her body to use her leg claws of a dragon as she sends a destructive downward kick directly at him upon impact.
[KA-BOOSH!]
But he dodged in time to escape as the house was destroyed in the process. Another Lancer continues to run down the crime-ridden streets of San Aldecado with haste as he leaps up as he lands on a cargo semi-truck where he was seen surfing on it at the highway. He was trying to get himself a time of respite here tonight… unfortunately, she had already caught up with him, refusing to give up her prey.
[FWEEEEM! BOOM!]
A beam fired from True Lancer's weapons as her blades collide together to charge up a blue energy beam as it was targeted towards him. The shot misses but instead hits a car as the beam turns into an orb that grows and explodes, destroying nearby vehicles upon range. The truck begins to swerve as Another Lance steadies himself. He saw the highway road that was destroyed which was large due to the attack. However, she fires again as he dodges, the truck gets destroyed as it explodes. He proceeds to hop on vehicle to vehicle in order to avoid getting shot. However, she had other plans. She sends her blades on its own to intercept. As Achilles lands on another car, he sees what's far ahead… blades going fast like a speed of sound as it proceeds to cut the highway. As it stopped, True Lancer had already dashed under it and blew open the highway as all cars and the Servant were launched in the air. But, this allowed him a chance to strike. He channels his own prana as he dashes off of vehicles that were launched into the air, bouncing off like pinball zigzagging off of the bumpers as he holds his spear ready directly at her at mach speed. However, she already quickly called back her blades to block his direct attack at such inhuman speed. The two were falling down from the air so high, they continue to exchange clashes from their weapons at extreme speeds as everything's a blur. It was speed vs speed, Both Lancers were already on par with each other. It almost reminded him of how he fought against Rider but it was different this time around. He's fighting a humanoid dragon whose speed matches with his except a bit much faster. As the two continued to swing blades at each other at breakneck speeds, True Lancer found her opportunity to parry his attack as he was caught off guard…
[FWOOOSH! GUSH!]
She uses one of her blades and stabbed Another Lancer completely as blood gushed out, causing him to cough out blood in shock. She pulls her blade back and spun her body to land a swift, powerful kick that knocks him flying straight back to the city. The knockback was definitely in mach speed as he crashed through skyscrapers in Pacifica Square then towards another district of Nashwood in the commercial district where there were people just going about their day until Another Lancer crashed into the large monolith statue at the middle of the roundabout as he rolled on the floor. While he was injured, he didn't seem to mind. A lot of people screamed and saw what was going on as some ran and some watched as they began to gossip with each other. Achilles pulled himself up with his lance as he stood there… with a fearless smile. There, True Lancer hovers in the air where she was surprised.
"I must say, Another Lancer… I'm surprised that you managed to live for this long. Even if I stabbed you and hurled you to crash, you still stand. I'll praise you for that." True Lancer commended him as he rested his lance on his shoulder.
"I don't need praise." Achilles continues. "Besides, you haven't realized by now what I was going for."
[SPLURT!]
True Lancer realized that one of her legs was already wounded as her blood spurts out of her legs. She quickly flashbacks to the fight in the air where Another Lancer had intended to target one of her legs where one of the blades from the side of his spear had cut her skin in but didn't go deep. She snaps back to reality as she gritted her teeth.
"Clever boy…" True Lancer spat in arrogance. There is something strange with this Another Lancer. No matter how many times you deal severe damage against him… He brushes it off like it was nothing. He's practically immortal. "Master… Permission to use my Noble Phantasm?"
"Your Noble Phantasm? Last time I checked… wasn't your ability a bit too… nuclear?" Bryce said to her in the mind.
"Does it matter? This Lancer had managed to survive for that long. And I'll destroy him easily, even by means of burning this place to the ground." True Lancer said to him as Bryce thought about it.
"Well, I mean… The location you're in is filled with night-goers that intend to break the curfew laws here and there. But… I'll allow it. Even if bystanders get killed, it ain't my problem. Finish it up. I'll meet you there… once your fireworks ends." Bryce allowed his Servant to go all out which could potentially destroy this area and kill a lot of civilians who were watching the battle.
"Another Lancer… you may have lived this long… but this is where it all ends." True Lancer said as she began to gather tons of prana surrounding herself as Another Lancer watched. "Rot and come forth from your corpse, breath of flames, wings of steel! In the sky of twilight- Like the cries of a newborn baby!"
True Lancer then glows and flies up into the sky like a streaking meteor, she goes through the magic rings as she begins to take form as Achilles saw in the spectacle of the moment. She was doing a large loop in order to reveal her form… a dragon… A large dragon with dark blue neon lines on some parts and the designs heavily resembles a fighter jet. The Dragon then loops around and hovers to confront her enemy. The stomach begins to open itself as it reveals a golden light from within as it charges up for a deadly attack… As for him…
"You expect to do this in one blow? Against me? Hah… Even though fighting a woman like you is never my type when it comes to my spear. Truly a shame, if you want to go all out…" Achilles then spun his spear to ready his stance once more. "Then I'd be happy to oblige!"
He then gathers up prana around him as winds start to react extremely violently around these two powerful Servants. He was emitting a green aura as he began to charge up as he continued to gather. The civilians were confused as to what's going on as if they're inside of the movies. He had a cocky smile that he's not backing down from the fight as the dragon roars loudly.
"『Hollow Heart Albion: Known By No One, Innocent Heartbeat!』" True Lancer called forth her powerful and destructive Noble Phantasm as the golden lance sticks out of her stomach and fires a powerful beam of a lance.
[FWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEM!]
"HYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" Just as the golden light was close to his range, he fiercely thrusts his spear as two tips of the blade begin to contact each other as everything engulfs in sheer brightness.
[BOOM!]
Far from the district of Nashwood in Sieta, a large lance had seemingly pierced the ground but was turned into a massive, giant explosion with the golden beam shining up into the infinite atmosphere. But that explosion caused a massive shockwave as the winds became violent. Buildings in the plaza of Nashwood began to be torn apart, civilians were being wiped out, even people inside their homes sleeping were caught inside the blast are also being wiped out. Far from Nashwood itself, Ryuga and Nagao Kagatora saw the golden light from afar as it was so bright, they could see it far from there. Meifang sleeping with his girls, Svin walking down the street, the Crow watching from the top of the pole, Baobhan Sith resting in her personal bedroom at her Master's penthouse, the young woman with brown braid hairstyle standing on the roof of the house, they all saw what was going on. The cause was indeed catastrophic in similar to the Mass Guided Bombs used by the military. As one minute has passed after the collision. The plaza in Nashwood was completely destroyed and the environment felt like an apocalyptic wasteland… Everyone living in this area were all killed. And Achilles was seemingly missing, what was left were building rubbles. The Dragon of Albion was proven to destroy anything that would mean to bring a destructive calamity upon the world. Then, the group of APCs and SUVs arrives as Bryce gets off to see the aftermath. Though, he was surprised to see what happened to this place as it is completely nothing now.
"Holy… SHIT! Now that's what I call fireworks!" Bryce said as the dragon True Lancer landed on her legs and looked at her Master. "Is Lancer dead?"
"I do not know, Master." The dragon continued as she spoke from within her body. "He somehow used his spear to collide with mine and this was the result."
"Hmm… I can guess that he's dead. Good! You did well… Melusine. For a lump of dragon flesh turning into a deadly young girl into… this? I think you did spectacularly to get rid of him. Don't feel bad about the civilians you've killed. They were dumb to get caught in the blast. After all, it's their fault." Bryce said to his Servant as his men brought up his tablet that contains the map data of this said area.
BlackSteel Informant: "Boss, we have calculated the blast range of True Lancer's Noble Phantasm. According to here… the blast started from the plaza of El Camino all the way to the residential area in the entirety of the Nashwood district. The size of the explosion is almost similar to an MGB or… a nuke… However, it did not reach most of the residential area so I can mostly assume they're caught in the wake."
"I see… How many people died, exactly?" Bryce asked him.
BlackSteel Informant: "About 250… Boss…"
"Wow. That's a lot. If the media finds out about this… make them believe us and shift the blame to 88th Street for making a homemade nuke. Then… this is where WE come in." Bryce said as he thought about it. "I go on the media, represent as a law-abiding citizen, defame these 88th Streets… and try to help some people a little bit there."
BlackSteel Informant: "That's… That's a good idea, Boss. Should we do this now?"
"Yes, yes! Do it now! As much as I don't want the sun to rise soon… Let's all get out of here. Lancer, give me a ride, chop chop." Bryce said as his Servant complies, opening the stomach of golden light. As he steps on it, he turns back to his informant. "And make sure you lie to them and save our reputation, got it?"
BlackSteel Informant: "Y-Yes, boss!"
Bryce then entered inside the stomach where the inside is apparently biomechanical-like despite the golden light where it has been readjusted into a cockpit based on the interior of a fighter jet. Just as he entered inside it. The stomach closes up as the dragon then takes off 0.3 seconds on launch in order to return back to their base somewhere in the island of Siesta. The group of soldiers begin getting on the vehicles as they leave the scene… As they were gone and the sun began to rise an hour later… Under the destroyed rubble where a hand comes out of it… It was revealed that Achilles had seemingly survived as he crawled out of the rubble unharmed but was slightly damaged. He was gasping for his breath as he was struggling a little bit. Then, he begins to calm down and check his surroundings again to see the aftermath of the battle. The plaza was indeed gone which left the destruction in its wake.
"Guess I'll never get used to this, huh…" Another Lancer said to himself as he pondered for the moment.
"I heard what happened. That enemy Servant got you good, huh?" Meifang spoke to him in the mind.
"Yeah… Trust me, Master. She's a handful, I'll tell you what." Another Lancer said as he stood up and picked up his spear on the ground.
"I can already assume that you've exhausted most of your mana because of it. I don't want you going Hoodini on me, Achilles. Go into Spirit Form and rest. Once that, we'll get ourselves a chance to fight for another day. You understand? God, I'm surprised that you didn't die yet…" Meifang said to him as he sighed and decided to walk towards the sunrise.
"Yeah, yeah. I know." Achilles replied to his Master as he went into Spirit Form, disappearing in plain sight as the sounds of helicopters and police vehicles began to arrive to see the destruction caused by the Servants…
Meanwhile, far from the district and into Fairdale Hills at the Church where Frederick was seen sitting on the bench to look at the windows. He had a small smile after he heard of what happened.
"Ahh, yes… It was a glorious spectacle to see two Servants of the same class going at each other. I will not forget this moment… Yes… This is the true battle of the Holy Grail War. I wonder how you will keep this up… Bryce Glenbrook…" Frederick said with curiosity as he remained in his Church to see how the war unfolds. And thus… the war still continues on…
ENDING - Life by Rude Alpha TV Size Ver. (Dr. Stone)
*Theme plays*
The theme starts with Ryuga resting on the grass fields on the mountain plains during the starry night where he was staring at the falling star streaking through the sky as he proceeds to lend his right hand out that shows his Command Seal. As the scene transitions.
Maybe I don't know what to do
Hurry up, my mind is on the moon
Flying up to where the wind blew
The sparrow bird was seen flying through the night where it flies into the forest, flying past through the trees until it flies towards a small mote of light as it gets bigger, engulfing the bird with that light as the scene transitions.
Tenohira ni afurete kuru jounetsu ga me o samasu
Samayotteru dake no this WORLD
Hitotsu dake hikaru kimi no PURE
Sabita KNIFE nanka ja sasenai
I am burning like a fire gone wild
Kokoro ni ya yo hanatareta shunkan
Matowaritsuku zatsuon ga hajiketa
Everything was different from that moment on
If I don't try, I'll never know
Then the next scene shows Ryuga walking down the sidewalk at Pacifica Square in the daytime filled with pedestrians and vehicles as he had both hands in his pockets as he continued walking down the street then to the crossing where a lot of people were walking through. Then the next scene where he was seen sitting on the beaches of San Aldecado where he watches the ocean waves reach but sinks back. Then to the next scene where he was at New Hiroshima where he was seen praying at the shrine filled with people. Then to the next scene in Fairdale Hills where he was seen sitting at the bench at the nearby park as he drank his cola as he proceeded to sigh and close his eyes.
Naze hana wa saku no darou
Kimi no koe ga hibiku yo
The next scene shows Fiore tending the flowers on the rooftops as she flowers them. Then the next scene shows Svin in his own apartment room where he was laying on the bed to stare at the ceiling as the scene transitions to show the flower petals being blown by the wind into the blue sky.
Tell me why?
I just shouted to the sky
But you are no no longer here, that's right?
Ano hi bokura tashikameteta LIFE
The next scene shows the flock of crows flying through the sky above the small town as the next scene shows Meifang walking with three girls as she smokes a cig down the sidewalk. Then the next scene shows Yu Meiren who was seen in her casual clothing as she drank coffee at a coffee shop.
Hakanai yume to iware tatte ii kara
Kizudarake no kyou kara sukuidasu yo
Then the last scene shows Ryuga waking up on the same mountain but it was daytime. Nagao lends her hand to him as he takes up. He got up as the two headed to the city together as the sparrow flew toward the blue sky.
Author's Note: This concludes this Chance Meeting mini-arc. While this chapter is intended to be short and it is. And I did my best to create the most bombastic fight between two Lancers. While I did my best on it and that Achilles is still alive. Going forward, the story must continue after how two Lancers have destroyed the portion of Nashwood. The next mini arc will be in the works now that Ryuga's apartment is destroyed thanks to the battle. Let's see how it'll end up. Until then, peace out!

Luck: B
Noble Phantasm: A+
Class Skills

Undetermined by description. Not yet recorded.
Territory Creation - B+
Undetermined by description. Not yet recorded.
Personal Skills
Dragon Heart - B
It refers to Melusine's Magic Circuit, which is called the Dragon's nucleus or the dragon's jewel. It is an excessive manifestation of bioenergy that is classified as "Mana Burst" in the Proper Human History. Melusine, who reconstructed herself as a "draconic Fairy", possesses the same biological functions as a dragon despite not belonging to the dragon species.
Peri Dancer - B
Undetermined by description. Not yet recorded.
Ray Horizon - A
From the anecdote of the Dragon (mirage) protecting the "horizon" or "boundary" that serves as a gate to another world passed down in England. In the end, Melusine is just her name and vessel as a "fae folk" and her original role is to be the "boundary" itself. ...This is the process for Melusine to transform into her original form.
Eternal Arms Mastery - B
A skill copied from Heroic Spirit Lancelot of Proper Human History. Regardless of one's mental state, they will be able to fully display the combat techniques they have mastered. Combat experience that has been engraved into one's body from excessive training...is what could be said about this, but it's a skill that isn't that necessary for Melusine who was born strong. Melusine hates the existence of this skill. Creatures who were strong since birth do not need techniques.
Noble Phantasm
Innocence Arondight: Know Not Now, Innocent Light of the Lake - A
Type: Anti-Unit
Range: 2-10
Max Number of Targets: 1 person
A simple Noble Phantasm that refines a "Fairy Sword Arondight" inside her outer skin and strike the opponent with it. The spear-version of Lancelot's Arondight. Damage itself is low, but its rotation rate is top-rank. A Noble Phantasm that can be deployed casually, almost as if a normal attack. As for why the damage is low, that is because - as far as Melusine is concerned - this is not her own Noble Phantasm, but something borrowed (a forgery) that belongs to Lancelot.
Hollow Heart Albion: Known By No One, Innocent Heartbeat - EX
Type: Anti-World
Range: 20-500
Max Number of Targets: 500
A dragon breath unleashed by Melusine after changing to her "original appearance" by means of the third skill. Having turned back to her "original appearance", Melusine is no longer a being that can be called a fairy and the light that overflows from her majestic heart becomes a wide-area destruction weapon. That form could be perceived as a rainbow that covers the boundary, or maybe a gate (pattern from a different dimension) to the spirit world that was opened in this world. After using this, Melusine will not revert to the vessel as a fairy that she wished "to be like" and instead disappear without anyone knowing. The Albion from another time and universe continued to fly over the "sea of nothingness" and eventually died out, but this also serves as evidence of the fact that, in any sort of human history, it met a tragic death as a "dragon that failed to return to the star".
