[] Switch out your Mystic Code while you can. You need a better line of support spells!
You and Medb were swung around and sent flying. You hit the ground while Medb slid back a few feet while Scathach held out her hands and grasped two Gae Bolgs at once. Fucking show off. You used your own to stand back up as she smiled brightly. Rider palmed the ground and smeared her blood on it, summoning her Legion of warriors.
They rushed towards the Witch and you watched them get absolutely shredded. Men and soldiers boosted by Medb's charisma were taken down one by one with broad, scarlet strokes. Scathach tore through their ranks like hot knife through butter before dancing through their bodies along the road.
It was a macabre sight which you could only find yourself watching. You blinked as you saw more warriors come out by the second, all rushing to that crimson death. Medb was shining with her own magical energy as she enhanced and reinforced her warriors, quickly replacing them as they fell.
"Go my Warriors! Show her what it means to challenge Connacht!" Rider yelled as the soldiers glowed with power as they charged Scathach.
The other woman simply smiled in glee, a complete contrast to the cool and collected Teacher you were familiar with. Ripping through flesh and armor, she welcomed the challenge as she slowly approached where Rider was standing.
You watched as Scathach become a blur of crimson and forced Rider to get away from a fast thrust. Medb dashed away as Runes supported her body, only for Scathach to be supported by the same runes. Medb was being enhanced by her Druids but the runes Scathach had upon her limbs were of far greater quality.
She was barely keeping up.
The two women fought within the army as bowmen let loose their arrows. Each arrow was charged with Medb's power and fell towards Scathach.
"Not bad, little girl!" Scathach mused as she stopped her chase and summoned red spears around her.
They launched themselves upwards and clashed with each arrow that fell. You blinked and were torn out of your reverie when Gae Bolg and Caladbolg clashed with a resounding clang.
Medb was sent staggering as her warriors rushed to cover her, but Scathach simply ripped the apart, each thrust she unleashed blowing chunks out of her challengers' body. You were noticing that there were several openings Scathach wasn't using. She could end this any time she wanted.
You had to move. You took off your necklace and reached for your pocket. Pulling out your second Mystic Code, you poured your prana into it.
"Gandr!" You barked and forced Scathach to stop. She weaved away from your curse before Medb had a hammer soldier strike the Earth.
You dashed in with your body reinforced with your power. Dragging your own red spear with you, you got close and were met with Scathach's swing. You weaved beneath it and had her hit a soldier beside you as you thrust for her body.
She called another spear down on you and forced you to sidestep into her range. You pulled your spear up and blocked her weapon leaving you both glaring at one another.
You drew your gun and fired at her knee, only for her flesh to be protected by a rune. She smacked you across your face before tripping you over with her spear. You hit the ground just as you pumped magical energy on your Mystic Code.
Scathach hesitated before turning to be sent flying by a buffed up Medb, sending the Witch back with a baseball swing from Caladbolg. You grunted before a Warrior helped you up to your feet while Scathach landed in a crouch. Her body was etched with runes as she darted towards you. She blazed through the lines of warriors coming for her before she reached you and Medb.
You only noticed that she didn't have her spears given she had tossed them into the air. Her hands wrapped around you and Rider's neck before she slammed you both into the ground.
"It begs to ask, how did you two survive this long?" Scathach wondered with a raised eyebrow.
"Fuck if I know!" You barked as you tried to free yourself.
Medb only whimpered as she was pinned down. Scathach lifted you both up before throwing you across the road where Rider turned in the air to catch you. You grunted in pain before you stopped and had your spear kicked to you.
You watched the red spear hit your side as Scathach stood in a road of impaled bodies. Medb's warriors had been skewered by numerous red spears, giving the twisted sight of bodies blooming from the top of those spears.
"She's too strong. She's not even a servant!" Rider breathed as she stood by your side.
"But you hit her, didn't you?" You grunted as you leaned on your spear.
"That was a fluke," Medb murmured as Scathach got ready.
Scathach spun her red spear before dashing towards you. You pulled your assault rifle and started shooting the entire clip unto the approaching woman.
Rider got between you both and blocked the red spear with her spiral sword.
The impact cracked through the air as you held on Rider's hand. You had dropped your gun as you twisted your body to strike with your spear. Another blast tore through the air just as you smashed against Scathach's second spear.
The air burst and sang with prana churning and sizzling.
"This is war," Scathach declared as she overpowered you and Medb, "It's a wonder how you two made it this far. It's exactly this strength that was the cause of it."
You and Medb held your grounds as Scathach stepped forward as crimson and rainbow danced in the air. You gasped for breath, your entire body heating up as you fought against one of the greatest Hero makers in history.
"Come on! Show me the strength of your bond that goes beyond Master and Servant!" Scathach roared as primeval runes started to form.
You felt your legs falter but Medb held you with her free hand to keep you from falling. Red and rainbow flared around the three of you.
"Rider! Get ready!" You snarled as her eyes widened.
"What?!" Rider cried out in surprise.
You looked at her and replied, "You trust me?"
"I..." She hesitated before whining, "Fine! Do whatever! Let's teach this stupid Hag a lesson!"
