Their swords clashed and there was a struggle of energy.
"You follow only one god yes, and I accept his power. But just as I cannot deny the fact my father and my brother stand divine, as I stand before you give me the respect of at least accepting my existence. Something that not even my brother nor father fully see to be true."

The ghosts of Elasa surrounded him, but his aura burnt brighter. He looked towards the spirit of Romulus who floated almost stationary and watched as his brother took this battle alone, the look of disgust on his face. At least Ruber cared for him in this incarnation, but Romulus would never change.

"I am kin to fear and panic, born from love and war. For I love the children that have given me a home, and I have war in my veins I shall not back down from you holy warrior, be it from fear or from panic!" Venetus shouted and he was covered in a bright armour, blue instead of the traditional roman red, his blessing of Mars was running out. As a Lunatic, he could keep it as long as he remained feral, and it came with a healing factor, Mars true unfiltered blessing on bestowed strength and courage, but that was all Venetus needed now, it would keep him alive until his destiny was clear, one he would forge with his own two hands.

The ghosts where coming closer and Venetus cut a glare at all of them, hoping to use the divine power that surrounded him to repel them even somewhat. But there was too many of them and they came with much Vigour. Venetus released a pulse of bright electricity from his sword lighting the room as slowly the Sistine chapel started to form overhead even without Venetus actively summoning it, it was a passive activation with the power of ASaber clashing so strongly with Venetus, subconsciously he was preparing for last rites.

"In another life perhaps we could have been as friends." Venetus said as he summoned another blade to his other hand ready to strike ASaber.

ASaber smiled sadly.
"...Perhaps you are right. Like you, all that I and my people were, all we believed in, was denied and defiled. Only through great struggle were we able to take back what was ours, and for our effort we received a miracle, if only for a short time." He raised his sword, and along with all the remaining ghosts of Elasa, saluted Venetus. "In the end, we still died. Here, on this very battlefield, I and all the men whose spirits now stand beside me stood our ground against unwinnable odds. Here we died, refusing to retreat, like our so-called "comrades." That is why you have my respect. Unlike your Masters and brother, you do turn away to fight easier battles. Like we did, you face us knowing you will lose." Asaber once agains grinned, his smile equal parts satisfaction and sorrow. "Yes. I do believe that in another time, we could have been friends." Pointing his sword at Venetus, ASaber declared:

"May your struggle here grant you the worth you desire, as ours did! ATTACK!" ASaber and his warriors charged, determined to give their foe a worthy death.

Venetus roared with the power of War, he charged forward like a horseman of War, his flaming sword rising and arching. He reached the ghost's first, his burning aura rolling around his cut's and charges. Giving slice and carving towards ASaber, bits of his armour was being ripped and chipped away by the warriors, but even as his beautiful armour soon became tatters in the wind, he cut and pushed and the blades and spears that sliced his skin, seemed not to put him down.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xzpDf3VPMdo

But then slowly but surely as he charged closer ASaber his strength was failing, he could call on more, he could call on the inner wolf, but no! He would not stoop to Ruber's problem solving decisions of letting the beast take over. He charged and stumbled, but final reached Asaber, he swung his two gladius, but slow and sluggish, muscle no longer reacting to brainwaves, but bone and essence responding to pure will. Despite the fact that the power from his aura was growing smaller, it grew brighter a star is always that much brighter before it collapses.

With his two swords in swing, his clothes almost in tatters, covered in blood. Venetus was also who he was the moment he came into this world, naked, bloody and secretly wanting to go back to the place before life but not before crying out into the night letting his presence be heard. He leapt.

NBerserker looked up and this momentarily distracted by the sound of the wolfen prince of war.

Ruber who still had RBerserker's sword in his gut, turned to look towards his brother. "YOU FOOL! We haven't even used the future technology yet!" He shouted.

Venetus sent his brother a message mentally, they were in the room of their mind, where they could go via mana link to converse privately and instantly almost like a shared dream for a split second. The brothers where there, but as younger versions of themselves, early teens they looked, after they had learned the words of men, but the truth of the wild still ever present on their faces, it was a time when they were happy with each other and the world, a place mentally they could always talk as equals.
"I've always been an old soul brother, the lone wolf. You are the Alpha of a glorious pack, but I am my own Alpha, Beta and Omega as well as a child of War, war is unpredictable and it can be fought for many reasons, some not only sensical, so if I die here then I have died a Marcellus, a small warrior able to sup at fathers table." Venetus raised his hand parting his middle and ring finger to form a V shape. "Live long and prosper." Venetus finished.

"If you die, I'll just bring you back." Ruber said his voice full of anger, "Don't you dare leave me!"
"You only want me around to be there for you, not for myself. If I die do not summon me again unless it is life or death."
And then the mental link was severed. And once again Venetus was right where he left of, mid swinging leap. The church slowly forming around them.

ASaber watch Venetus leap through the air, and for a moment he wondered if that was how he had looked, all those years ago on the true battlefield of Elasa. The ghost of his companions seemed to have similar thoughts, for they redoubled their efforts to bring him down. Seeing the church forming, ASaber wondered if he should call upon his ace. But no, not yet. That was a desperate measure for desperate times, and while Venetus was certainly a man who had earned the right to face it, it was a gift earned at a price that would always make him reconsider whether it was worth using. If Venetus's allies forced their noses in where they did not belong, again, then he would use it to crush them. But for now, he would face the brave warrior before him head on, as he deserved. ASaber leapt to meet Venetus.

Venetus followed through with his attack on ASaber, his fathers blessing was running low soon he was fall, soon he would fail, but he would try and die not like a Roman, but as a child of Mars.

He shouted out, his voice loud and powerful. The Spirit of Castor vanished from his sword, Venetus no longer having the mana to sustain him, but as he flew through the sky, Castor almost like a shroud floated around him, letting if he was to perish not to die alone. The Sistine chapel had finally finished, that would be his vengeance, his blades clashed with ASaber's his blade losing Castors essence couldn't hold up to the power of the noble Phantasm and ASaber's blade sliced through his own and across Venetus chest, red blood spurted outwards and the wolfen prince did not lament nor wail, but he smiled as he dropped his broken swords and slumped to the ground, naked and bloody. He looked up to the ceiling of the chapel and raised his hand upwards mirroring the image and in that moment, maybe he was hallucinating but he could see and feel an image of his father with his hand out reached ready to take his son home.

But before this could be finished he looked towards ASaber and spoke possibly his last words.
"The Father and the Mother will come to end this suffering, take pride in your victory and know you are blessed." And he started to fade away.

"Venetus!" Ella shouted, Gabby who was fused with the Remus also made a whining sound.

"BROTHER!" Ruber shouted. "Romulus! I DEMAND OUR POWER!" He shouted up at the floating Roman spirit. Rubers skin on his arms started to rip, as muscle and fur started to force its way from his average sized frame, his eyes were deeply red, his rage had manifested into power, the gift of Mars and avatar of Quirnus given flesh! He started to grow in size as he held RBerserkers sword in his hands refusing to let go!

ASaber nodded farewell to the fallen warrior. "Take pride in your defeat, and know that you too are blessed." With that he turned back to the twins. "Well then. Let's finish what we started, hmm?" He and his remaining warriors charged the twins, ready to tear apart anything that might be left of them from their battle with VSaber that had occurred while he fought Venetus. If they were still alive, he would join his fellow Saber in battle and end them. Regardless, he readied himself to use his final card against Ruber should he become a problem.

Serperion said Ruber shouted. "Romulus! I DEMAND OUR POWER!" He shouted up at the floating Roman spirit.

"This is definitely not... Super! Not super at all!" Berserker let go of the saber and jumped backwards, looking to Robert. "Master, permission?"

"Granted," Robert smirked and called off his summons, devoting more of his prana flow to his Servant. "COLONEL! Show them your... Credentials!"

Berserker smiled and looked into Ruber's eyes, full of insanity. "It's time I showed you what a true Heroic Spirit is capable of, not an evil fake like yourself! Come to me, my Rough Riders!"

Berserker disappeared, as did his sword. Suddenly, the sound of thunderous hoofbeats began to echo around Elasa, before slowing and coming to a halt. Berserker sat on horseback at the very edge of Elasa's barrier with a small military unit behind him. "Men! The beast you see before us is a threat to our livelihood! It must be eliminated at all costs!" Berserker raised his saber high into the air before lowering it, directed straight at Ruber. "ROUGH RIDERS! CHARGE!"

The Rough Riders obliged, thundering towards Ruber, Berserker at the front, leading the charge. Sabers flashed through the air, all intent to have Ruber's head.

Ruber was transforming and fast, he jumped back and roared. RBerserker's sword had vanished, and Ruber grew in size, until he was about 11feet tall, a gigantic wolfen man beast.


The rough rider's marched on towards the giant wolf whose fur glinted like spun gold. Ruber turned to them and roared, the strength of his voice enough to make shockwaves, those shockwaves rolled onwards and Spears, Armour and Shields appeared, one after the other, forming a small legion of armaments that went to meet the rough riders head on.

"On no, this is bad." Ella said from atop Gabby, as they weaved around VSabers strikes, he had already used his noble phantasm once this battle and it would drain him to use it again so quickly, but soon he would be recharged.

"Hem them in!" ASaber cried. He and his warriors surrounded the twins, hindering their ability to avoid the Sabers' attacks, as ASaber joined VSaber's efforts.

"Men! Do not fear this foul beast! Charge on with no regret in your hearts!" Teddy's saber began to glow, a bright golden light bathing his allies(Everyone who isn't a wolf or twin) they would find their fighting spirits were revitalized as Teddy's charisma raised itself to ungodly levels, and the ability to keep fighting even while wounded was bestowed unto them(Equivalent to Rank C Battle Continuation).

"What is all this then?" A voice came from in from the side, but the voice was large enough that everyone heard it. He was a blonde man, wearing black robes with a white mantle, and behind him a small girl who looked about 15 walked behind him.

In the middle of a battle, ASaber kept fighting, but Alysis turned to frown at the man. "What's it to you?" she asked.

"Alas, everything." The man responded. "Saver."
And the young girl stepped forward and raised her hands and a light fell down from the sky, washing over the sistine chapel Venetus had made. "I shall end this with words from a divine son." and an aura radiated outwards. Everyone instantly felt the overwhelming desire to stop fighting, as if a command seal was used on each and everyone one of them, masters and servants alike. Ruber strunk back to normal size, actually to less than normal size he was teenager once again, the muscle in his body not yet thickened by war, all the rage in his eyes gone. All the spirits had retreated, Ella and Gabby were back to normal and they were cowering as the man walked closer.

"Father." Ella said.
"Silence Michela!" The man barked. "Now come along."

Alysis blinked, as she returned to reality, and noticed that ASaber and the rest of the Servants had vanished, along with Elasa. Which shouldn't be possible. She frowned at the sudden arrival, and how easily he cowed Ella into submission. Her eyes narrowed in recognition as a vague memory surfaced.
"Excuse me." she called. "I remember seeing you at matriculation, sitting behind the Chancellor. But I don't believe you were ever introduced; would you be so kind as to tell me who you are?"

Robert looked around a bit, disappointed, before wondering off back to his bed.

Damien and Juan, who had been taking notes on the battle before them returned to Isis to discuss this with everyone else.

The man turned to Alysis, "I am the school counsellor, Arcana Imperator , Michael Di Christi partner to Saver, it is my job to interject when rules are being broken, such as ones have been today. By my own children no less, attacking first years with deadly force."

Gabby and Ella looked down and avoided there fathers eyes as they walked past him. Michael looked at the others present.
"I apologise for this young Magus, but remember for the cost of one command seal, you may summon Saver and I to rescue you from battle." Michael turned to leave with his children. As she left, Ella raised her head just high enough to glare at Alysis.

"I will remember that. Thank you for your help, Counsellor Di Christi." Alysis said politely. Once Michael wasn't looking, Alysis treated Ella to a grin that said "Come at me if you're hard enough, bitch."

Ella glared back at Alysis' shit eating grin, on that said. "In time."
Their father and Saver had to come and save them, the biggest shame that bitch would have to pay sooner of later. Gabby was still sad due to the loss of Venetus, they could always summon him back, but he wouldn't have the same memories as before as he would be a new copy, thus he wouldn't be too offended at being summoned, but it still felt wrong.

Elsewhere Claudia had been watching the battle and was intrigued. Even with her servant things would be difficult they teamed up against her, 2 sabers and 2 berserkers.
"I sense your worry, my little seed." Said a voice from behind her. She turned quickly and even though he was obscured by shadows, she knew who it was.
"Gentleman." She said calmly.
"Ms Black." He responded. "I am not here to hurt you, rather the opposite, Tia is in need of a winner and the current crop dont seem to have what it takes. But you, I have faith in you. I'll tell you what. if we get some of the DNA of those four there I'll put your origin to good use."

"Hmm, whats the catch?" Claudia asked.

"I do it all for Tia, Chaos is a ladder and we must climb it to endure the storm. But in order for my plan not only to help you, I need a few other things. Some I could get myself, but the hardest thing is we need Grimhildr's mirror and the blood of one of the twins. I'm sure that won't be too hard with your servant there." He said waving to Cberserker.

"We build too many walls and not enough bridges." CBerserker responded.

"I couldn't agree more. Get me what I ask and Tia will be unstoppable." And with that the Gentleman disappeared into the darkness and Claudia was alone with Berserker once more.

1 Week Later

Claudia sat in a room, a well furnished roman villa style room, yet draped and laden with more Victorian style fabrics strewn across the areas. This was the deep inside House Rhea, and Claudia sat before the twins Ella and Gabby. Berserker stood behind Claudia. Standing behind the Twins was Ruber, he was almost completely back to normal, curse him and his healing factor, that would be an issue if worst came to worst.
'Don't show them your true power.' The Gentleman had told her when she had come to get what she came for.

The twins were a bit bruised up, but they were getting better quickly too.
"So what can we do for you." Ella said calmly but also meaning she wasn't in a mood to fuck about.

"Alysis woe and her band of misfits." Claudia said.

Ella's fists clenched. "What about them..." she said with a low growl.

"I know you are forbidden from hurting them. But I know you want them gone, I'm a first year I can legitimately fight and kill them. If you give me what I want." Claudia said, feeling the 3 pairs of piercing eyes on her.

"The house of Rhea has many prospectives, many will do anything to get a place between our walls." Ella responded.
"And they would do it for free." Gabby added.

"Ah, but do they hold one of these." Claudia pulled out her Arcana Alumni card. "And can they bring back his brother." She spoke as she gestured to Ruber.

"I can bring my brother back any time I wish, I don't need your help." Ruber spat.

Claudia took a deep breath, "But can that restore who he was, the last 3 years you spent together, the memories. Surely if you use your noble phantasm he will be as he was when you first were summoned, fresh."

"You arrogant wench!" Ruber shouted, his eyes starting to glow.

"Calm down Ruber! Geez!." Gabby said to the angry wolfman. "You can bring Venetus back to how he was?"

"Yes, I have a way with memories." Claudia spoke, she remembered the Gentleman's plan, it had to work.

"Ok, say you do this. What exactly do you want?" Ella asked.

"All I want is your permission." Claudia said curtly.

"Permission?" Gabby asked slightly confused.

"Yes permission. Permission to take down Alysis Woe, and permission to count on your complete cooperation in all efforts towards that goal. I know you would so love to do it yourself, but this is the next best thing, so I thought I could always use a couple of wolves in my field."

Ella and Gabby looked at each other and then to Ruber and then back to Claudia. Then they smiled. "Sure, so fix Venetus and we can start talking tactics ok."

Claudia nodded. "Well bring him out then."
Ella looked to Ruber and nodded, Ruber's red robes shimmered and they were a mix of red, blue and purple. And then he shimmered and there were two, one red and one blue. "Venetus?" Gabby asked.

"Are you my master?" Venetus asked. Ruber turned to Claudia "Fix him them."

Claudia flinched, don't show them your true self. "Yes of course, but first I need some of your blood." She said to Ruber.

"What?" He responded.

"I can using my nature magecraft read the memory of biological matter, see its life, its past all of it. You and Venetus shared a psychic connection did you not, his memories are also locked away in your cell's, I can transplant them back into this new body." Claudia explained.

Ruber looked to Ella, who looked to Gabby. "I just want him back, if it works it works." He said, eager to have his servant back, his echo.
Ruber gritted his teeth and nodded. He opened his hand a stiletto knife appeared in his hand and he stabbed it into his plan. Blood trickled down, and Claudia dabbed two fingers in the blood, and her eyes went white, she saw everything, all of it, more than they knew they would let her see.

"I've got it." Claudia said and walked upto the newly summoned Venetus, who was looking at Ruber for directions on how to act in this odd situation. "Are you my master?" Venetus asked Claudia.
"No, he is." She said pointing to Gabby. Venetus turned and she placed her fingers on his forehead, and she opened her powers towards him, and she began to take parts from Ruber's memory and moments when they shared thoughts to rebuild Venetus past 3 years. And then it was done. Venetus stumbled back with a start. "Argh! What have you done!?" Venetus shouted and jumped onto Ruber and started to punch him. At first Claudia was worried, but then Ruber started to laugh.

"I told you, always and forever." He said and punched him back.
"I was going to sup at fathers table!" He shouted.
"Not yet tonight do we dine in hell, dear brother."

Claudia cleared her throat. "Now now, I've held up my end of the deal. Are you going to lend me the strength of Rhea?"

Ella looked at Gabby, who looked at Ruber who looked at Venetus, who scowled back at Ruber.
"Well the thing is, you may be half English. But you reek of Tia, the Gentleman has his hands all over you, and we don't like making deals with guys like that. You should have made us sign a geas, but I guess that is where you first years fall short."

"What we had a deal!" Claudia shouted.
"And now we don't. Our two vs your one, bad odds newbie, Ruber get rid of her." Ella said and turned to leave.

Berserker stepped forward, but Venetus stepped up first. "Leave the girl be, brother!" He said.
"Gah, will somebody just get her out of here then." Gabby said sighing heavily, eager to leave.

Claudia looked to Berserker and the two of them made for the exit, while Venetus confronted his brother.

When they were well out of earshot, Claudia smiled. "For an arrogant pair of super twins, they were fooled so easily."
"What do you mean, I do love a good prank?" Berserker asked.
"Like when I am able to fix parts of your memory from your moments of lucidity, I never have had to cut you to take and preserve those memories, I didn't lie I need to touch biological matter, hair or skin would have done just fine, but for their eagerness we got this." She raised the two fingers she had used to dab Venetus, on the tips Ruber's dried blood.

"An important part of the ritual, blood of he who lives within another, and another lives within he. The blood of a twinned soul." Claudia said as they walked back to Tia to meet with the gentleman, who was throwing a dinner party today to try and tempt some of the Arcana Minors to join up with Tia, or at least that is how he presented it. Her next job was to get the Magic Mirror of William Branson's Servant Caster, or at least the essence of it. That could be hard or very easy, it depends entirely on the mood between her and William on that day. She would probably find William somewhere later today and get the next piece of the Gentlemans ritual.
