The Chaldea group and their Yakuza allies charged into battle, their determination palpable as they faced off against the three lieutenants at the top of the skyscraper. The two groups came face to face with the 3 lieutenants seeing them healed up but with Kuze behind the two men who came forward. To their side, much to the two Kiryu's and Nishikis rage, Kazama, their adoptive father laid strapped to a bed unconscious and bloodied.
( Group 1: Kiryu (R) Jaguar Man, Goro Majima (A) and Fujimaru )
( Group 2: Musashi, Emiya and Hans )
( Group 3: Kiryu (Y0), Nishiki Goro Majima (Y0) )
( We look into the first battle to start )
Female Musashi Miyamoto stood at the forefront of the group, her dual blades glinting in the light as she prepared to face off against Awano readying her blades.
"Looks like we've got a feisty one," Awano chuckled, cracking his knuckles as he faced off against the legendary swordswoman. "Let's see if you can handle this!"
Awano lunged forward with his fists, but Musashi deftly dodged out of the way, countering with a swift strike to his side that sent him reeling backwards. Emiya (Archer) provided backup, raining down swords from above and getting closer with Kanshou and Bakuya in his hands attacking Awano to which Awano quickly dodged around not trying to get hit while Hans Christian Anderson buffed the two servants attacks with his magic as well as noting down the events in the fight for his story.
( Meanwhile with group 1: Kuze hitlist )
Meanwhile, Kiryu (Ruler) and Jaguar Man faced off against Kuze, their attacks bouncing off his tough armour like skin. Majima Goro (Assassin) darted around the battlefield in his Mad Dog State, striking from the shadows with his stealthy attacks and quick attacks but to no success.
"He's reinforced his body with the grails power, it is tougher, but it won't hold forever!"
Kiryu (Ruler) yelled, his fists pounding against the Kuze's body stunning Kuze for a brief few seconds.
"Keep hitting him until he breaks!"
( With group 3: The Y0 group )
Nishiki and Goro Majima (Yakuza 0) fought against Shibusawa, their combined attacks driving him back, an odd pair of yakuza men who would never work with each other coming to terms to fight a common foe.
"You'll pay for what you've done to Kazama!"
Nishiki spat out in rage.
The battle between the three yakuza warriors and the empowered Shibusawa was intense, with each fighter unleashing their full potential. Majima stepped forward, cracking his knuckles and grinning at Shibusawa.
"Hey, old man, you're looking a little rough around the edges. How about I give you a taste of my baseball bat?"
Shibusawa sneered and launched himself at Majima, fists flying. Majima swung his trusty baseball bat, blocking the blows with ease. He then landed a heavy hit to Shibusawa's ribs, causing the older man to stagger back.
Shibusawa charged forward, delivering a flurry of quick jabs and kicks. Majima used his thug style to counter, parrying the blows with his forearms and delivering powerful punches of his own.
Meanwhile, Kiryu and Nishikiyama were holding their own against Shibusawa throwing their own punches and kicks in. Kiryu ducked and weaved, delivering powerful strikes to Shibusawa's midsection. Nishikiyama used his karate-based street fighting to deliver precise kicks to Shibusawa's legs and ribs.
The battle raged on, with each fighter pushing themselves to their limits. Majima switched to his breaker style, spinning his bat in a deadly dance and landing crushing blows on Shibusawa's arms and legs. Shibusawa staggered, his strength waning.
"You...you can't defeat me! I am the strongest!"
Shibusawa exclaimed in a fit of rage.
Kiryu and Nishikiyama rushed forward, flanking Shibusawa. They nodded at each other, a silent understanding passing between them. Together, they unleashed their full power.
"This ends here, Shibusawa!"
The two oath brothers screamed in joint before launching a barrage of punches and kicks, each strike landing with the force of a sledgehammer. Shibusawa tried to fight back, but he was overwhelmed. In the end, he collapsed to the ground, defeated.
"I...I cannot believe it. I have been...defeated.. why is it that my glory, my success is never there when I need it.."
Majima stepped forward, grinning ready to destroy the old man's dream.
"Looks like we're the stronger ones, old man. Maybe you should retire this yakuza business and live an honest life, oops too late nyehaha! Corruption ain't the way old man."
With that remark, the three yakuza men walked away getting ready to assist the other groups leaving Shibusawa lying defeated on the ground losing the power of grail channelized into him by Kuze reabsorbing it back.
( Cut to group 2 fighting with Awano )
Musashi readied her swords, her stance confident and calm facing the man bulging from the grails influence amplifying his strength and speed and other things.
"This will be a battle to remember." she said with a hint of excitement.
Emiya twirled his twin blades, his eyes locked onto Awano.
"Don't get to excited and get hurt in the process." he said, his voice steady and focused.
Hans Christian raised his book, channelling his magic.
"Let's do this," he said, his voice firm and resolute still annoyed in having to participate in another battle.
Awano charged at the three servants, his fists clenched tight. He moved with incredible speed and agility shocking the servants for a few seconds, his attacks landing with tremendous force. Musashi deflected his blows with little ease, her swords moving like an extension of her body slashing at the man with a counterattack who dodged backwards as fast as he could. Emiya darted in and out of range, striking with lightning-fast attacks with his Kanshou and Bakuya looking for blind spots of the man to exploit to which the man simply parried his strikes away. Hans Christian focused on defence, using his magic to shield himself and the two other servants from Awano's blows and to heal any damage caused by him.
The battle raged on, each side giving and taking hits. Awano grew stronger with each passing moment, his power from the grail increasing thanks to Kuze giving strength solely to him rather than the two lieutenants at once as Shibusawa was defeated by group 3 just recently. The servants were beginning to feel the strain, their stamina waning a bit due to having endured a lot of hits.
"We can't keep this up forever.." Musashi said, her breathing heavy but still held her two blades up parrying another one of Awano's strong punches.
Emiya nodded in agreement.
"We need to end this now."
Hans Christian nodded, his eyes alight with anger.
"I suppose we shall begin our noble phantasms to take care of this nuisance then?"
He began channelling his magic, a bright light enveloping the three servants. Their strength and defence were greatly enhanced, and they felt a small renewed sense of energy from his supportive magic.
"Let's finish this already..!" Hans Christian said, his voice ringing out across the battlefield.
The servants charged at Awano, their noble phantasms at the ready. Musashi struck first, her swords glowing with a divine light. She unleashed her noble phantasm, [ Six Realms Five Rings - The Divine Figure of Kurikara. ] The sheer power of her consecutive slashes sent Awano flying away, his body hitting the ground with a resounding thud leaving him shocked and stunned for just enough time for Emiya to chant his incantation for his noble phantasm.
Emiya followed up with his own noble phantasm just in time.
[ Unlimited Blade Works ]
Blades of light surrounded him, filling the air with a deafening hum.
He pointed his hand at his chest, his eyes closed yet still facing towards the fallen yakuza.
"I am the bone of my sword"
he said, his voice echoing across the battlefield.
"Steel is my body
and fire is my blood
I have created over a thousand blades
Unknown to Death
Nor known to Life
Have withstood pain to create many weapons
Yet those hands will never hold anything
So as I pray
Unlimited Blade Works"
As suddenly a reality marble appeared around the 3 servants and Awano with Emiya (Archer) in full control of the blades that rained down on Awano, each strike landing with deadly accuracy impaling into him leaving him wounded gravely.
Hans Christian unleashed his noble phantasm, [ Märchen Meines Lebens ] The magical energy surrounding him surged, forming a massive flashbang around Awano and the group healing and buffing the allies whilst blinding the opponents with a dazzling light from the buffs. The yakuza struggled to see, his strength no match for the power of 3 servant's noble phantasm.
"Your shitty power is nothing compared to the power of imagination!" Hans Christian shouted with excitement over the yakuza who could barely stand.
In the end, Awano was defeated, his body lying motionless on the ground ached by the two battle front servants noble phantasm with his energy channelized by the grail returning back into Kuze. The three servants stood victorious, with Emiya's reality marble dissipating, they had won and regrouped with the main group a long with group 3.
