The stranger tilted his head forward and flipped another silvery thing into the air and muttered "Torquemada" and the object then became a halo orbiting him with... tools? But wait, they weren't just any tools: they were for Torturing! He had knives, scissors and other malevolent tools surrounding him! Even his swarm as returned back to him creating the perfect nightmare of pain and fear!
He snatched out of the air a pair of wicked looking knives and lunged forward towards the Master... the girl with the sword!

Amaya eyes widened as she noticed he lunged at her with a knife. She barely dodged the hit and only had seconds to react. She lept to the side barely dodging the knife and slashed downward with all her might.

He barely had to side step and the orbitting blades did the rest of the work for parrying againstthe swipe... but with his free hand (with no blade) he back handed her across the face! Hard...

Amaya took the hit hard. "Oof!" she said as she rebounded. The blades orbiting him stopped her slash. "I think this is hardly fair" she commented to herself as she rubbed her cheek.

It was then the stranger spoke saying "Pathetic woman" and he pointed his finger and ahalf a dozen blades went flying towards her...

"Nrg!" Amaya said grumbled. She saw the blades flying at her. She quickly jumped out of the way to avoid the blades.

He didn't like the fact that the stranger went towards his master. It was like unknown villain was insulting him by ignoring his presence. The act has injured his pride and he certainly will not forgive it. Seeing the blades going towards his master who barely had anytime to dodge, he lunged himself forward acting as a shield.

"No!" Amaya said tackling Itsuki away. Unfortunately, the blades were low enough for one to scathe Amaya in the arm. "Ack!" she said grabbing the wound getting quickly up to defend against another strike.

Three of the knives embedded into Archer's right arm and two in his left leg. With the same finger that was pointing ealrier, the stranger now twisted around in little circles... the knives began to twist around in the wounds!

As Rider and His Master enter Downtown, He immediately senses something amiss. A smell was lingering in the air... a feeling he recognized. He sniffs the air.

Yes...His suspicions were true. A battle was happening. He strained his eyes, and could here it.

"Master...Do you feel it? A battle. I think one of them was at the Bridge"

Amaya noticed this instantly and tried to yank the knives out of Itsuki's body. "Are you ok?" she asked worriedly as she managed to get them out. She felt hot blood seep from his wounds.

"I feel it, Rider. I bet you're anxious for a battle right about now? I shall indulge you." Momoko ran towards the battle but at a steady pace. Making sure she didn't get tired.

Rider follows along side his Master, a Mischevious smile on his face. He was itching for a fight, and this was the perfect chance. He begins to shred his spirit form, fading into exsistence as the two dash through the streets.

The quickly come across the battle. A Masked Man in a white robe. His aura was similar to the one at the bridge. The other Servant he didn't recognise. He had several knifes in him, and a Young Girl (Rider assumed she was his Master) was trying to help him.

He draws his guns, and already the air behind begins to ripple.

"Shall I, Master?"

The stranger snorted and said "Pathetic woman... and her pathetic pet Servant. Does she change your diapers too Archer?" he rolled his neck and cracked as he said "Why is it that all teh Servants and Masters I've encountered so far are so weakand pathetic... *sigh*"
He pointed both his fingers this time at them and the entire swarm and orbitting torture knives pointed at them as he said "Disappear" and they ALL launched at once!

"Weak and pathetic ehh? Rider. Prove it wrong. I will support you from the shadows."

Rider laughed. A small snicker of amusement. Out of the ripple, several cannons emerged. The floats behind him, glinting menacingly.

"As you wish"

He takes a pose, planting his left foot forward pointing at the arrogant masked man. He Cannons moved with him, following his every movement. His smile widens, as he takes a deep breath.

"FIRE!"

The cannons fire, exploding with a ear-deafing bang. Concentrated bursts of Prana shoot through the air,soaring towards the Masked Man. They hit home, destroying his knives and flying towards him. The resulting crash kicked up dust, and as it settle, Rider had already prepared another set of Cannons.

The dust cleared and the Archer and his Master were on the ground covering each other and covered with dust... the stranger however was fine.
He turned and looked at the man who fired at him and he said aloud to himself "Rider and his Master... " he raised his hand and tossed something silver into the air, everyone's eyes seemed drawn to it... and when he caught it again saying "Loki" and the there were THREE OF THEM! 2 of them launched themselves forward at Rider and the remaining one advanced upon the still forms of the Archer and his Master...

Momoko closes her eyes, and upon opening them she activated her mystic eyes, jinxing the robed man. The weapons he threw hit a bird, a dumpster, and a ham sandwich but left everything else unharmed.

Amaya only had enough time to defend Itsuki. She slashed forward to disrupt the wall of knives heading towards her, but she couldn't stop all of them. A select few slashed her cheek, jabber her left shoulder, stomach area, and leg. "Ouch..." she said painfully as she pulled the knives out. The feeling of cold metal left followed by hot blood. "I haven't fought like this for a long time" she said to herself brandishing her sword as she saw a clone walk toward her.

One of the two attacking strangers rolled the silver thging around his fingers and he whispered "Mordred" it turned into a long blackened sword and he swiped at the Rider. The other did the same and said "Longinus" and it created a Lance which he swung at the Master...
The third one was still standing over the Archer and Master pair as if contimplating on how to destroy them...
