Also, note that not all Gae Bolgs are necessarily the same. Scathach uses hers to sow time and space before stabbing the fuck out of someone while she has them pinned. And if I remember correctly, using it like Cu did requires some serious training. It's not exactly point and shoot.
So long as it kills the Salt Knight when we perform Combat Proctology, I am over the Buggy-As-Hell Moon Cell.
 
[X] Pick up the Spear and Fight! She's pissed now!

-[X] Fight defensively and call Rider for some speedy assistance. Scathach did say that your bond with her was your greatest advantage afterall.

Er. Can we use the cursed spear, wielded only by Cu Chulainn and Scatchah, who taught him how to use it in the first place and always complains about how he didn't grasp anything except the basics?

She wouldn't have given it to Brie if she felt Brie had no hope of using it. Scathach might be pissed off at us, but she's still one of the greatest teachers in mythology and more importantly Brie's teacher. On the flip side, I wouldn't be at all surprised if the reason she's giving Brie the spear was so Rider could use whatever power lets her use Caladbolg and Conchobar's future sight to use Brie's Gae Bolg to kill Scathach.

Hopefully we summon our shield while we're at it. Gotta do our best impression of Mr Abs after all

I mean, we can at the very least stab folks with it. Even if we don't know how to fuck with causality.

It's a well balanced weapon with an anti-heal curse.
 
[jk] "What the hell is this pokey thing?! Damnit teach, you taught us how to shoot guns, not spear play. It's just not right to change the genre on your student." Offer to come back with some firearms and have an old fashioned quick draw.

Dread filled your body.

However at the same time you grit your teeth and stood your ground, stamping out the fear bubbling deep inside you. You let out a breath and kicked up the red spear before you before grasping it. Your mind quickly felt like it was being unlocked. Red prana surged through the air as you held it and filled the surrounding area with a warm scarlet glow.

It was like a monster. A sleeping monster was in your grasp as you found yourself holding the demonic spear. You were filled with knowledge as you firmly planted your feet on the ground, your body tensing up as you fixed your gaze towards your foe. The difference in both skill and experience was like Heaven and Earth, you weren't going to win this but at the very least, you'll fight!

You held Gae Bolg just as Scathach moved. She was fast and she escaped your vision without warning. A blur was the only warning you got as she struck with a lazy thrust. Wind spiraled past your head and you were pushed back.

She could have ki-

Left. You blocked just barely as her blow broke your posture.

Up.

You spun the spear and caught her downward swing and fell down your knees.

Knee.

You looked to see her knee rise up and nearly smash into your face. You ducked to the side and rolled away while holding the spear. You moved and struck with your own thrust.

The woman merely smiled and parried it, scarlet wind filling your vision before you ended up hitting the ground. You turned to see her with her weapon raised before thrusting it down. You clawed the ground and avoided it before you threw dirt in the air.

Scathach raised an eyebrow before Runes protected her face. You thrust but she caught your spear and drew you in, her hand resting upon your stomach before a burst of power sent you flying backwards. Hitting the ground, you rolled and stopped as you fell down your knees.

"Fight with your own strength. Face me with your own power," Scathach challenged you as she held her spear, "Stop relying on that autopilot. I told you before, didn't I?"

You got up and held the red spear in your grasp. Noble Phantasm or no, without proper training or even instructions it was just a big red pointy stick. It was sturdy enough to withstand Scathach's blows, a feat not even your Aegis could do.

You need your strength. What strength? On your own you were useless. But if you...

Let yourself go and relinquished control-

No! Never again.

"Don't get distracted!" Scathach snapped as she darted towards you.

You moved and blocked, her blow aiming for your weapon instead of your opening. Your arms went numb. The ground cracked beneath your feet before you shoved her back and sliced for her neck. Scathach slammed the blunt end of her spear on your boot before striking you across your chin.

Parrying her low swing, you caught her weapon as it went swinging for your head. Scathach then moved faster as she knocked Gae Bolg out of your hands and went for the kill.

"Ignition!" You roared as a weak barrier of light appeared before you.

It shattered as if it was made out of paper but it was enough to make the woman before you hesitate.

That was all you needed.

"SAVE ME, RIDER!" You screamed before something fell from the sky.

White.

Your eyes widened as white and pink filled your vision as Gae Bolg was stopped by a familiar spiral sword. Scathach bounced off from her next blow just as Medb slid back to protect you.

Your own spear struck the ground beside you and remained there. Your Servant held her sword and riding crop on both hands as she kept her eyes on the Witch of Dun Scaith. Scathach didn't seem fazed by the appearance of your Servant and merely righted her stance.

Frenzied red light came from Gae Bolg while shimmering rainbow power rushed through Caladbolg's form. You stood behind Rider as she faced off against Scathach. She kicked off the ground and lunged forward.

The Witch simply blocked her blow and deflected her riding crop. Medb turned in place to deliver a kick but Scathach leaned back and sent Rider flying through the air with a rune.

You dodged out of the way as Rider hit the ground. You watched as Scathach become a blur of red and darkness before you took the red spear beside you and intercepted her, slamming your own weapon past her and making her hesitate. Rider moved and thrust her sword, before Scathach knocked it aside.

You both moved in tandem as you hailed a series of blows upon Scathach as she was able to keep up with ease. Red light clashed with rainbow as Scathach tested out Medb's skills and found it lacking but you covered for her by running distractions.

Cutting through the two of them, you supported Medb as she dealt the heavy hits while you kept Scathach at bay. The other woman smirked at this as she finally started dodging more than she was blocking.

You reinforced your arm and stabbed the spear into the ground before ripping it straight up. Debris struck Scathach's runes before Medb had Caladbolg spin once and released a violent burst of rainbow power that cracked the road.

"Over here!" You snapped as you became a red blur with the Demon Spear in your hands.

You clashed with Scathach before she lifted you up in the air and threw you into the air. You went up a few feet just as Medb charged forward with her rainbow sword.

You turned as you fell as you both drove your weapons towards Scathach.

"EAT THIS, YOU OLD HAG!"
"EAT THIS, YOU OLD HAG!"


You thrust your red spear as Medb lunged with her rainbow sword. Two colors burst in power as Scathach smiled and-

Runes.



You and Medb slammed into them while Scathach weathered your blows. Your spear wasn't enough to break through it but you were only using it as a weapon, never invoking it's true name. Medb would have broken through but she never expected this!

The runes vanished and Scathach caught you both with her bare hands. She slammed you into the ground while holding the tip of your weapon. Likewise she had stopped Caladbolg from fully spinning with her left, leaving Medb pale as her clothes.

You fell down your knees as you kept your grip on your spear.

Scathach had a bloodthirsty smile as she spoke, "My turn."

Lesson 2
[] Use your Mystic Code to boost Medb's attacks.
[] Switch out your Mystic Code while you can. You need a better line of support spells!
[] Get some distance get your shield out. You need to keep up the momentum!

[X] Switch out your Mystic Code while you can. You need a better line of support spells!

we need more power tbh
 
Hmmm. Honestly, I kinda want to fight her alongside Medb here. Or try to invoke Gae Bolg's name.

Though admittedly we have no guarantee it's actually Gae Bolg. She could have easily made something more similar to Gae Buidhe or Gae Dearg if she wanted too. She's the runemaster afterall.

  • MYSTIC CODE: Emergency Evade (Allow a Servant to evade physical strikes. NOBLE PHANTASMS cannot be evaded.)

We have Saints Pendant equipped atm. The Paralysis on Wardog will probably be more useful than the evade atm. Also we have a gun we don't use often. Admittedly it won't do much, but it might help even if it's just a half-second of Shishou going "Really?"

Of course she stopped Caladbolg with her bare hands. We haven't gone full anime yet!

I'm more concerned about not taking the hit

EDIT: I had this sitting in the entry box for like 3 hours
