[] Go along Medb's plan. Hunt Assassin down. Take her down while you have the chance.

"Right. Rider, you're the fastest. Get her," you ordered as you raised your hand.

Rider smiled before she jumped off to give chase to the retreating servant. You stood where you were as she became a blur of pink and white while you stood with her remaining Druids.

"Track down the enemy. Support your Queen as she gives chase. Don't let her down," you ordered the Druids as they chanted to the nature spirits present in the air.

The wind blew past you and you could only watch as a violent gale blew forth to chase after Medb. You steadied yourself as you looked ahead. You'll have to keep up somehow.

"Hey! Rune me up!" You ordered as Druid drew one in the air before implanting it upon you. You winced as the symbol burned into the back of your clothes before you fell down your knees.

You let out a breath before you looked down to see your magic circuits light up on your limbs. You got up and kicked off the ground to give chase as you cleared the gap across the street to the next building. You landed clumsily before you fell and tumbled on the ground.

Blowing hair out of your face, you got up and chased after Medb. You jumped and measured the distances between each leap. You tried not crashing into buildings as you slid on top of balconies and rooftops.

Your circuits flared with each jump until you sensed your Servant nearby. You hit the rooftop until you found the sounds of battle. Rider and Assassin were squaring off in the middle of the street, lamp posts being toppled as you knelt down to look at the proceedings.

Assassin moved from point to point, never staying in one place while denying Rider any chance to get close. You observed that Rider was weaving more and attacking less once Assassin got used to her manner of attacking. She was still at a disadvantage considering she took the brunt of damage in the last exchange.

Assassin hissed as Rider got close to have her kick near her foe's face. Assassin brought down her staff as Rider clashed with her.

"Damn you! Damn you to hell!" Assassin cried out as she slid back from the exchange.

"Just a little bit more," Rider smiled as she avoided an iron maiden clamping down on her.

She's weak. Terribly weak now that she lost her advantage. While the match up against Medb was in her favor, there was a distinct lack of power behind her attacks. Assassin was fast but she didn't seem to be attacking at her full potential. She was being held back from fully realizing her power which was why even with Medb's terrible stats, Rider can keep up with her.

Assassin fell into a puddle of blood to appear beside Rider, forcing the latter to bend her flexible back to avoid being cleaved in half. Medb jumped away before an iron maiden opened up behind her.

Rider timed it just right to kick away from the torture implement before hitting the ground on her feet. You both watched Assassin retreat into an apartment, melting into the shadows before Rider could get her.

You jumped off the building and landed on the ground, your legs shaking as Rider turned to face you.

"You were watching?" Rider asked with a raised eyebrow.

"She's not fighting to her full potential," you noted as you walked towards her.

"I can see that," Rider said as she looked at the apartment, "Probably has something to do with the magical energy she's receiving messing with her performance. She must have pulled the short stick in this war with a pathetic master."

"She'll try to replenish her energy. We need to get her," you replied with a grim look.

Rider moved and picked you up, making you yelp in surprise. Rider simply chuckled as she said, "Hold on then."

She jumped straight up to the rooftop of the apartment and gained speed. You could see Assassin moving out of the building through a window before she darted through the older parts of town.

You held on to Rider as she jumped to give chase before Assassin tried to lose you through the maze that was the old buildings. You and Rider hunted her down until you ended up chasing her all the way to the southern edge of the old town by a bridge. She was really trying to get away, huh? Medb set you down as you and your Servant faced your foe on level ground once more.

"End of the line, Assassin," Rider giggled as she tapped her riding crop on her palm, "No more running. No more fighting. It's over."

"You knaves... Had I feasted well enough tonight then I would have won..." Assassin hissed as she gripped her staff tightly.

"Your days of feasting is over, rest assured," you told her as you held up your left hand where your Command Seals were hidden.

"Woe lies on your future, little girl. Don't think this victory would be the same for other Masters and their Servants," Assassin snarled as she stepped back, "You're not going to live through these battles."

You winced but Rider placed a hand on your shoulder. She smiled before facing the vampire, "Is that so? You're forgetting, she's not alone."

"Fools the both of you... If only my Master were better..." Assassin growled as she grit her teeth.

"Rider. Kill her," you ordered with a firm tone before Rider smiled and got ready.

However before she could even take a step forward, your spine felt a dreadful chill. Rider must have noticed it too before you both saw Assassin smile cruelly beneath her mask.

"Got you," she said as your world turned into glass and you were swallowed by the Bounded Field.

Rider felt it first as she stumbled forward and fell down her knee. You felt it next but that was before you heard footsteps coming for you. You turned as your circuits flared up in response before you cast your spell.

"Ignition!" You cried out before your barriers lit up and caught the blade that was coming for your back.

You were met with the amber eyes as a blade bounced off your barrier. A girl stood before you in weathered clothes and torn up pants. Her dirty white hair was tied into a long pony tail as she held in her hand what seemed to be an Azoth Blade.

Her hand rose up as you jumped out of the way of a blast of energy. Hitting the ground, you rolled as the girl straightened her back and turned to her Servant.

"Assassin! Take care of the Servant! I'll handle this one," The girl ordered as Assassin moved to where Rider was and kicked her off the bridge.

"I'll be taking my time now, Mary," Assassin chuckled as she followed after where Rider fell.

She was fast... This bounded field, it's a trap!

You looked up to see the girl walking towards you with her blade in hand, another ball of light gathering in her palm as she chanted
quietly.

"Who the hell are you?" You hissed as you clenched your fist.

"I won't let you destroy Assassin. She's my only lifeline in this war... If I win this, I can return prestige to my family's name!" She roared and fired another bolt of energy.

Your circuits flared as you summoned another barrier which managed to catch her shot. You were still sent sliding back back first against the bridge's railing.

"Shit, shit, shit!" You growled before you avoided being hit by a barrage of blows.

"You're not getting away!" The girl roared before you raised another barrier which promptly shattered. Not good. You're losing steam.

Mary held her hand up and fired it into the air. The stars twinkled before a hailstorm of magic bolts rained down on you.

You raised your barrier to weather the storm as you grit your teeth, "Damn it!"

Magi are notoriously bad at close combat, but humans are generally worthless in servant fights. Retreating is probably not an option due to the bounded field, so running is out, but not sure if it's better to power through or support Rider.

Well, that's what we get for being too greedy. Can we still make any code cast?

I have no idea what to pick, so, I will put this down because everyone is picking support rider.

Cursing bitterly, you held your ground as the girl pounded against your shield with her projectiles. Your circuits glowed in the dim light of the bounded field as the stars twinkled in the sky. Magecraft derived from the position of stars and making the right positions to unleash volleys of curses down on you.

One hit could have bad side effects so you tried focusing on enduring your current position. However there were other effects of this bounded field, namely how it drained you of you Od as you continued to struggle. This place was a meticulously crafted trap that you doubted you could break out by yourself.

You're cornered. Your entire body tensed as you were beaten towards the bridge's railing as your shield shattered. You dodged as you kept your eyes on your foe. Not good, you need to help Rider!

"Fuck this!" You cried out as you vaulted over the railing and jumped down.

Some bolts of energy whizzed past your head before you reached the bottom. The runes reinforcing your body finally subsided as you saw Rider being punted around by Assassin. Rider was tossed into the air before Assassin moved behind her by teleporting before swinging her staff. Rider crashed into the ground and tumbled before stopping beside you.

Assassin sneered as she raised her staff towards you before Rider got up and tackled you out of the way. She took the direct hit and was sent flying into the canal.

"Rider!" You cried out as you looked to see Assassin smile cruelly at you.

You looked up to see Mary aim for you before firing. Holding up your hand, your circuits flared as you constructed another shield which forced the bolt of magic to bounce straight away from you. You ran to your Servant's side before you stopped and turned.

"Cliffs at the Shores of World's End! Ignition!" you roared as a barrier of light erupted before you as you stood before Rider to catch the bolts of power coming your way.

Rider stirred behind you as you felt the barrier lose integrity. You gasped and fell down your knees as a layer had been shattered. You gasped for air as your Servant watched you take on the barrage of magical energy while you stood your ground.

Wounds appeared on your body as you held on.

"Any day now, Rider!" You cried out as Medb splashed her blood on the ground to summon two Druids.

Their forms were hazy but they began to chant. Assassin manifested before you and ran her claws across your shield, shattering it just as flames danced before you and kept Assassin away from you.

Rider jumped in and delivered a kick through the fire and pushed Assassin back. The Druids weren't able to keep their forms before vanishing. You stepped forward and held up your hand to manifest another shield. You're not going to last!

"Rider! Any plans?!" You growled as you held off the next volley of magical blasts.

"I'm losing power! We're dead meat!" Rider hissed as used you as cover.

"Oh that's just wonderful," you groaned before Assassin moved towards you. She swung her staff and easily shattered your shield forcing you down.

Rider got up and tried swinging her riding crop and ended up clashing with the vampire. Assassin sneered before disarming Rider and grabbing her by the neck. Assassin raised her up in the air before you looked to see your Servant struggle to regain her footing.

You held up your hand as your pendant glimmered, "Evade!"

Rider's body shimmered before she phased through Assassin's grasp and landed on the ground. She raised her leg and smashed it against Assassin's side before she fell down her knee.

You moved forward and blocked several blasts of magical bolts from above before gritting your teeth. Your pendant shimmered before you utilized another premade spell within your Mystic Code.

"Heal!" You yelled as you endured the storm of bullets before Rider's wounds closed. She then moved to grab you and jump before Assassin could recover.

You kept your shield up as she soared above the bridge. You kept your shields up before you gave her another order.

"Throw me at her!" You snapped before Rider did as you told and sent you flying towards the opposing Master beneath you.

Mary's eyes widened as you endured her bullets before you landed by her side. Your magic circuits flared with its last remaining power as the enemy Master tried blowing you away at point blank range.

There was an explosion before you were sent flying, only to be caught by Rider as she held you steady. Mary gasped as she struck the railing of the bridge before she fell limp on the ground.

You steadied yourself as Assassin manifested beside her Master and glared your way. You looked up to see the bounded field shatter and reveal the cool December night you had been separated from. Mary stirred as she slowly got up, supported by her own Servant as she kept her eyes on you.

You were out of energy. You're having trouble staying conscious.

"It's not over yet," Mary growled as she staggered forward.

Assassin narrowed her gaze at you and Rider before holding up her staff, "Indeed."

"Still raring to go..." You murmured as you held on to Rider for support.

"Well if this keeps on, one of us is going to die here," Rider said as she had a weak smile on her lips.

"Assassin, kill them!" Mary ordered as the Servant dashed towards you.

Rider moved you aside and went to meet with the approaching Servant with her riding crop. Rider clashed and weaved through the streaks of red left behind by Assassin's power before dropping low and sweeping the ground with a kick.

Assassin stepped back as Medb splashed her blood on the ground to summon her Warriors but Assassin simply cut through them with a flourish of her staff. You raised your hand as your Servant fought with all she had...

Your pendant shined as you grit your teeth, "Attack Enhance!"

Medb's body shined red before her strikes grew harder and were able to push Assassin back. She flipped in place to knock Assassin away with a final kick before dashing back to you.

You're all out of spells.

"Plan?!" Rider squawked as she glanced at you with a panicked look.

[] Time to run! You're out of tricks! It's time to go and run! You're not sticking around for anymore of this! You're both on your last legs, you're not going to survive this!
[] Have Rider deploy her Noble Phantasm. Finish Assassin off with one blow! It'll suck for you but better to do it now than put this off later!
[] Use a Command Spell to boost Rider's abilities and overpower Assassin. She can be beaten, you can do this! You just had to push harder!

It sucks but honestly, them's the breaks. We really should have retreated faster than this.

I am all about them sunk costs. But seriously, if we back off she's just gonna kill more people to refuel. Better to reveal our NP and get Asassin off the board than risk a future ambush.

I agree with this. We've already spammed Celtic warriors and druids everywhere, in the open - Medb's identity isn't much of an open secret for anyone that can piece two and two together. No need to hold back on our NP at all and leaving the job unfinished against someone with vampirism isn't something that favors us in the long run.

Never turn your back on a known assassin.
