Victoria walked into the Gentleman's room. With a wave of her hand, Assassin appeared on the floor, groaning and bleeding.
"Hey there, boring guy1" Victoria said, voice chipper. "So, I totally went and had a bunch of fun. I got to see what that weird guy's Lancer did, and Assassin got to experience his abilities first hand!" Assassin groaned in a way that indicated affirmation. "Could you fix him up? I think working with you might be more interesting than I thought!"

"Mmm. Thank you, Master. These will be most helpful, even if they are somewhat damaged." Caster said, nodding his thanks to Mark of the sleeping bodies of the students Mark had brought back. "I'll get to work at once. Assistants?" At Caster's call, dozens of black-haired men and women, clad in surgical gear, stepped forward.

Robert stared wide-eyed at the now-unmasked Conquest. His face was twisted into a look somewhere between curiosity and anger. His temple throbbed as he now wore the confusion he felt. Robert looked at Conquest, taking in his appearance, studying it, and trying to make sense of what he saw. He lowered his head and began shaking uncontrollably.

"What the fuck... H-how... Can you..."

Robert openly wept, then raised his head, wiping the tears from his eyes. He now faced Conquest with a look of stern determination.

"WHERE DID YOU GET THAT AMAZING SUIT!?!?"

Conquest looked at as War came towards him, he pulsed out an aura of heat and rage, Conquest soaked it in, he went with the flow of things and now War had come to his side, before he could finish talking to Robert and Alysis.
"I wanted to protect you from him." he said nodding towards War "And from yourself." He said quietly.

War had finally reached Conquest, his armour was black as if made of ink and shadows, it had a certain sheen to it that made it look fluid, and over the top of it a sheen of red and orange flickers like a dying fire, War looked as if he was coal from a furnace.
"Conquest, you have failed to retrieve the girl, the Gentleman would like you back." War said as smoke began to come from his own helmet. And then War raised his sword and pointed it forwards to the now 5 masters congregating. "Oh it looks like the whole crew is here indeed, so we have to have a party." As he said that a man appeared with tanned skin, wrapped in silver and white silks holding a bow appeared beside him. He too had a red ring around his eyes as War's influence went over him.

"I will not let you harm them." Conquest said to War. War then started to laugh.
"What makes you think you have a choice." War said chuckling. WArcher raising his bow

"Robert who is this guy, your brother or something?" Nicola asked confused.
"Oh she returns." The Gentleman said upon hearing Victoria announcing herself. "You tore through my lands like fire unchecked and for that you appear burnt. But yes I can help you." He raised his hand towards the woman clad in black. "Famine, come hither." he said softly. And the woman in black armour came closer.

She extended her hand outwards towards Assassin and then clenched her fist, Assassin groaned as the metal inside him shifted. Famine put forward her other hand and mumbled something, and made an odd gesture while focusing, and then drew her fist back towards her torso with a sharp yank, and metal dust came flying out of assassins body.

"Give him a while and he should be better." He said waving his hand towards a table and chair, prompting Victoria to sit.
"You misunderstand how the game is played girl, to go mad with power first you need power, and for that you must play the game, win this tournament for Tia, for thee and me. And you would have proven not only the right to burn down what ever you see fit, but the ability and from the ashes those that remain will rise again stronger and inherit the earth, I will collect the origins of all those we cross and soon everything will be revealed. But now all I need is for you to scorch the earth, I have given you the riders for your assistance, as well as these." He said opening her palms and he had a thatch bag of seeds.

'These seeds have been imbued with the origin Burn, they can hold any amount of heat and not scorch away, seeds, servants for you. There are 16 masters for to be weary of, and 21 in total that would have your head, are you worthy of your namesake Ms Victoria?" He said throwing the bag to her.

Since he was helping Assassin, Victoria did her best to listen to the Gentleman. It got a lot easier once the conversation turned towards burning things to the ground. She took the seeds, pondering them.
"Scorch the earth, huh?" she said. She grinned. "I can handle that."

A shuffle of footsteps could be heard through the room. The source of them was the rather spacey Sen Kusari, not exactly sure of what to do in this situation. Sure, he had the means to contribute to this fight, but should he? Would people just look at him with those looks of contempt he was so used to?

What to do, what to do. The predicament was consuming him.

He tapped his hands against his thighs a few times and paced back and forth. What to do, what to do. What to do, what to do, what to do, what to do, what to do, what to do, what to do, what to-

Then it hit him. He should probably help. Maybe he'd be recognized for his efforts and rewarded somehow. Yes, that would be nice. He liked rewards.

Serperion said "Robert who is this guy, your brother or something?" Nicola asked confused.


"He's a man with very good taste in suits, at the very least. It is entirely possible that I may have a brother though, pops is apparently a bit of a womanizer."

Robert looked back at War and Conquest, squaring up against each other, "Hey, guys... Who the fuck are y'all, anyways?"

The gentleman smiled, or as close as he could get to a smile at Victoria. "I want you to burn it all to the ground, together with Claudia who will save the memories of it all, we can destroy and rebirth everything anew. Like a phoenix from the ashes, all I ask from you is to burn it all, slash and burn. The seeds I have given you have been infused with the burn origin of War, the ability to control what fire can and cannot burn as well as create it's own fire. The horsemen are here for you assistance." He waved towards Famine and Death.

"These two ladies as well as the men will help you when ever you need, as they are connected via the power of the gemini all you need to do is call upon them. Now for the first order of business. Two of the Alumni are on their way here, William Branson and Damien Miles, take one of the horsemen of your choice and persuade them to leave."
William and Damien had made their way to Tia, their Alumni cards allowing them access into its walls.
"Miles. keep an eye out the Gentleman may still be a student, but he is an alumni like us and 5th year, always with tricks up he sleeve."
War turned from Conquest and looked at Robert and laughed. "Oh so that is why you want to protect them, you are worried about yourself and your little girlfriend," Warcher pointed his bow at Robert.

"I am the second horseman and harbringer of war, the unburnt. Archmagus Lord Vincent Cutler!" He said touching his sword and all the fire seemed to be absorbed back into it as it glowed red hot, and all the black shadow like ink substance wrapped itself around the handle. As the armour melted away, War's face was slowly being revealed, a crop of blond hair that glowed slightly, a stern face with a smirk of arrogance just beneath it, but there was no doubt it was the face of Vincent Cutler at least 10 years older.

"What?!" Vincent said loudly.

"Ok now I am confused." Nicola added.

"Eeney-meney-miney-mo. Famine, lets roll." Victoria said, as she spun around and marched out the door. "Which way are they coming from?" she asked over her shoulder.
____________

Alysis blushed slightly, but she got over it once an older, more evil Vincent came calling. She began putting two and two together, and her eyes widened as she turned to look at Conquest.
"Robert." she said. "I don't think that's your brother..."

"Wait a minute how come Robert and Vincent get to meet future versions of themselves, do they have a time machine or something?" Nicola asked with a air of frustration. "I mean he is handsome, but he just seems off, I don't like it."

"Fools! You should be worrying about yourself!" War shouted raising his sword and pointing it towards Nicola.

"I don't care who you are but no one points a sword at the only girl to go on a date with me even if is only as friends!" Vincent shouted jumping infront of Nicola.

"If you think I won't harm you because you resemble me at an earlier time, you and I are much more different than I had first thought. Boy! Archer!" War commanded and Archer raised his bow and shot a blast straight towards Vincent and Nicola.
The Gentleman cleared his throat, "They are coming from the east, cut them off before they reach the others."

As he said that, Claudia entered the room, and The Gentleman smirked to himself, "They always come back. Good that I didn't have to go looking for you, that would have been bad for you, fun for me, but bad for you. Now go make yourself useful. We have more origins and more memories to collect. Take death and let Victoria do her thing, then you do yours with miles. Leave Berserker with me however."

"What he is my servant!" Claudia retorted.

"Is he?" The Gentleman clicked his fingers and Berserker's form shifted slightly back into that of Sitting Bull.
"I am the alumni, I am the 4th most powerful magus in the school, behind only the teachers. So learn your place. Now go." He said waving his hand. Death in her pale almost white armour made of lightly crackling light smiled. The armour morphed with her movements, much like Wars it was fluid. Death walked up to Claudia and looked her up and down, an audible sigh could be heard.
"You heard." She said to Claudia walking in the direction Victoria had gone.
"Miles I don't like this. The area is half in ruins, the smell of fire is rife in the air, what happened here?"
The area they were in was desolate, all the children from the party had long fled apart from the brave and the bold.

"There!" William pointed. "I sense Nic's prana, this way." William said rushing towards unknown towards Famine and Death.

"For once, I am not completely aware of what's going on..." Damien ran in silence for a moment, a curious look across his face, "I can sense all of your little Hel crew, but it feels like they're... Stronger? Their prana is more mature, it's strange; I can sense multiple signatures of nearly identical prana, maybe familiars?"

Nicola's Berserker threw up a wall of earth to block the attack, but the attack still dented and put a blast through the wall. "What something was able to damage one of Berserkers walls."

"What the fuck? Why are you trying to hurt me, if I am you? Won't that fuck up the time stream?" Vincent shouted.

"Haha." War laughed. "Look at the spell boy, I do not share memories of these days of my life with you, meaning that you and I are not one in the same, rather we both had a similar origin point prior in time, hence it stands to reason I am an older alternate you, and thus I have nothing to lose by killing you. When I was about your age I was at home, training and studying, preparing myself for my world trip, I had no time for friends. You are weak!" He shouted towards the end, and waves of heat slightly raising the temperature could be felt going through his voice.

"Woah." Vincent said reading his stance, VSaber doing the same beside him. "I guess you are right, I can't become you, because I never let my fear of others stop me from going to school."

War's eyes lit up and fire burst from the ground in certain areas, War was pissed and he charged towards Vincent.
"Ok Saber, let me do this." Saber raised his jewelled sword and touched Vincent with it, he had a slight golden glow, before he took the sword and jumped into action. War and Vincent clashed swords and parried and each went for an attack before they jumped back.

"Nice trick, raising your parameters, it must be part of your servant's Noble phantasm, nevermind everything burns out eventually." He said extending his hand towards Vincent, Vincent began to feel hot all over, as if the magic he was wearing was being burnt off, was that even possible and ability that could even burn away magecraft and possibly other things. But no time to think now, as the magic was being burnt, he jumped up and ignored the fire, thought to himself, it doesn't burn and ran, as he ran he felt the heat less and less, until he didn't even notice it, he ran in to strike with the jewelled sword but WArcher stepped in and grabbed the sword in Vincents hand, Vsaber then clicked his finger and Warcher then stumbled, feeling noticeably weaker. Vincent wrenched the sword free in this moment of chaos and jumped back to Nicola and Vsaber, surprisingly his stat's were still buffed and the enhancement was still there, weaker, healing, but still there as if it had stopped burning somewhere along the line.

"You bastards, what did you do to Archer." War said through gritted teeth. "Conquest, always trying to win with as little collateral damage, now you hear the drums of war ignite within you." He said pointing his palm towards Conquest, whose eyes started to glow red, and his suit began to frost over until, it was once again white armour. He drew his Ice sword as his Servant CRider stood beside him, sword drawn.

War looked to Warcher, Conquest and CRider. "Attack." He said, and they jumped in to strike down, not only Vincent, Nicola, Alysis, Robert and JeeBee. He cared not for those in the background not yet.
-
"Familiars? What has that Tia prick been upto, next to Rhea their house has the most fucked up shit. But what worries me the most Miles, is does this have to do with Grimmy's mirror and which Nicola are we going towards, the more or less mature version?" William asked.

Before a whip of metal came darting round a corner for them. William threw up gram and they simply wrapped around the sword, pulling it away and throwing it in the air, for another armoured hand to grab it, this one was definitely a woman, wearing polished black armour, as if made from polished hematite was holding the sword as similiar black metallic tendrils reelled back to her hand.

She twirled Gram before resting it on her shoulders.

"Oh shit." William said.

"Nice job, Famine." Victoria said, walking up from behind, mirroring the horseman with Timber Falls. "Right, how does this go again? Right, surrender or die!" As she said this, dozens of Assassins appeared atop the buildings lining the roads, an infinite variety of bombs prepared. They were primed to attack, regardless of the Alumni's responses.

"Caster, do it, but don't overdo it."

"...As you wish, Damien."

Caster knelt down and ran his hands along the floor. The ground stirred for the slightest instant, before a series of walls raised up between the two groups. The walls flickered and warped, as if they did not belong to this world, and the world recognized that. A labyrinthine structure now encompassed Victoria's group and servants, but ahead of Damien and William there was only a straight shot.

"Will, let's go!" Damien ran his hand across the walls and a shape similar to his command seals appeared, as he ran further into the structure, the sound of his footsteps, breathing, heart beating... All went silent.

A brilliant light flashed for an instant, disorientating the attackers. Robert seized the opportunity to jetstream his group backwards, out of range of the copies and their servants. "Who the fuck was that?"

"Hola, me llamo es Juan." The Isis representative stood beside the group now, an abnormally tall asian man beside him, sword in hand, "and this is Saber."

Assassin Disengaged, causing everyone to forget about him. Victoria tapped her chin. "Hmm..." she said. "Well, mother always said, when in doubt, Occam's Razor! Preferably to slit someone's throat." Hefting Timber Fall, she took a swing at the labyrinth surrounding them, the anti-mystery Noble Phantasm biting into the wall.

Claudia. Berserker and Death stood beside Victoria and Assassin and Famine. They were all trapped in this room of walls, the walls eeriely familiar. Timber falls was making short work of it, as Victoria started to carve a hole, or rather hack one away.
"So what now?" Claudia asked Victoria.
"Woah, that was close. But shit man, she has Gram." William said as he started to run alongside Damien. "And if what we fear is true, that woman in Black can possibly activate Gram, which would be bad. So Miles what now?" William asked as they continued to run, getting closer to Juan and the other first years. Williams 2 remaining command seals started to glow.
"Juan?" Nicola said slightly dazed. "Thank you, this is dangerous! Berserker!" NBerserker jumped up in all his mass and roared out.
"Saber!?" Vincent called, until a hand placed upon his shoulder. "Master!"
"Alysis, Robert???" Vincent called out looking around to see his classmates, he let out a sigh of relief upon finding them with his eyes. Before turning his eyes to scan for War, Conquest, Warcher and CRider.

Claudia glared at Victoria, while Famine and Death just rolled their eyes at the young women, ironic as they were much like themselves.
"Well hurry up then! Berserker, give her arm more force so she can cut through this faster." Claudia said coldly. CBerserker raised his hand, and the air faltered, but Victoria now had more strength in her swings.
"Good, not so good." Vincent said, gripping his jewelled sword tighter. Scanning around for War and Conquest. "Juan what did you do, where have they gone?"

War, Archer, Conquest and Rider were nowhere to be seen, although that didn't lessen the fear anymore.
As William and Miles continued to run further, until they saw the ice creeping towards them on the ground.
"Hmm." William said with apprehension.

With a final crack that signaled the victory of SCIENCE over magic, Victoria chopped her way free of Caster's labyrinth.
"Come, boring people! Excitement and fire awaits us!" Victoria cried. Assassin, scout ahead. Assassin moved to track down the group's quarry, undetectable under Presence Concealment.
