Owner Pose
Tamamo no Mae     Three 'rooms' out from the next indicated area on the map, that Sakura Blossom emblem getting bigger and bigger as territory is taken from nothing and even other servants... territory that is enroaching upon the Caster-Class servant's own lands... and by enroaching, it's getting dangerously close. "Give it a bit of time... I think this will be the next area that will be attacked." the Caster comments to those nearby. "Asterios, you're on point, protect me."

    Everyone is given a small map, showing off six different rooms, all connected with lines. There's a few symbols next to two of them, both look like fire. "Ah, this area has trap rooms. This isn't good. I don't have anything for that. Oh well~!" a pause, "Everyone, just stand your ground until one of the rooms lights up with attack programs from an enemy. You'll know it!"
Crys Gattz Crys Gattz was here on site and has been given a small map she looked at the maps and the legend on it. "Trap rooms? Well we could face check them, if it game to it and all right."

she takes a moment as she summons pistol to her off hand and a hulking Metal claw which has some sort of mechanical assist on it, which covers up to her shoulder. the claw clank once shut and she nods.

"All right ready here."
Asterios Asterios is on point! Was there ever any question if he would? The minotaur is obviously the best choice for standing out front and punching anything that comes straight at them with his face until they stop.

The minotaur scratches at his cheek as he examines the map. It's a very... simple arrangement of rooms, isn't it? He could... Probably make better fortifications than this. Given time. Hm.
Nobunaga     poit, poit, poit

    A distinctive noise announces the presence of...what just emerged from the neighboring region into the one currently occupied by Fox & Friends. A small, oddly proportioned little person, knee-high at best, in a black costume resembling a military uniform, accentuated with a red cape and a sunburst symbol on a distinctive peaked cap. The head is large, the body small, and no clear hands or actual feet-- just rounded nubs. A characiature of a person that has no place off the pages of a comic. And yet, here it is, coming to a stop and blinking its single visible eye.

    After an uncomfortable silent moment, the little homunculus lifts its arms, producing a rifle. Swinging this to the sky, it fires a single shot into the sky, which bursts like a flare.

    The gun is discarded. As it disappears, the curious creature turns tail and runs back from whence it came.

--

    Elsewhere on the map, a white-gloved hand raises, shielding crimson eyes. The flare is noted, and a fanged smile appears, "There." The figure then turns, sweeping a hand sidelong as they disappear into the clutter of this particular map section. Around them, various duplicates of that same homunculus scatter into hiding, taking positions amidst a muted clamor of activity.

    A flurry of activity that shows the enemy position on the map, just one section away. That's surprisingly close!
Tamamo no Mae     Tamamo blinks a bit, "Well, I wouldn't /face check/ them, something might happen and well, I don't want to tell Lord Priscilla that I lost someone due to behaviour unfitting of a person." she comments, "Besides, something small, furry and evil might be in that room waiting to poison and blind you, cackling like a raving lunatic. I wouldn't chance it." she nods a bit at this, smiling at the fact Asterios is in front... of a weird little thing coming into the room.

    There's a blink from the Fox Caster, the three maps pinging at something /not allied/ in this very room... the poit sounds as something walks or moves into the room has Tamamo's ears perked up, looking. "MIkon?" She kneels down, looking at the weird creature, "It's kinda cute."

    At least until it pulls out the rifle from clothing-space. "A... rifle?" the bang... "And a shot into the air?" she shakes her head at this as it runs. "Okay, so that was strange. There's not even any indication on the map that there's..."

    A lot of red shows up in the room next door.

    "An enemy near by..." pause... "ADVANCE!"
Crys Gattz Crys Gattz pauses "Right we don't have a CAST or someone else who could take it be put back together easily."

Tamamo had a good point on that, and she looks to the servant for a moment longer. "...I have seen Eldrich horrors but cute evil things scare me more if I'm being honest." How could evil tkae such a form is something that fgoes through her mind. She moves to form up with Asterios itending to be up front with the big guy, she looks like she's got some serious upclose power too.

"You heard her, lets go big guy." She'll move in claw and pistol at teh ready.

"Time to mix things up."
Asterios What emerges from the portal? Some kind of... Weird... Nugget-person. The minotaur snorts inquisitively. What kind of creature is that? Some kind of... Adorable firearm munchkin? How... strange.

It's also a very bad shot.

The minotaur hears Tamamo's order and unlimbers its twin axes. "Careful. Seems like. It was sending a signal. Might be a trap?"

But, hey, if it is, Asterios still can't do all that much about it. So he may as well just SALLY FORTH INTO DANGER.

And so Asterios leads the charge...!
Touta Konoe Touta is late. Late enough that when he arrives at the Moon Cell the first thing he sees isn't the other but fireworks? Well, it would be more correct to say that maybe it was a firework. Was there some sort of event going on? He remembered that Tamamo had asked him if he could help with something today but he never did get the details. So as the others make their battle arrangements and prepare themselves for battle, Touta ends up just arriving on the scene sorta lost and confused as to what he's looking at.

It's only when he sees the assortment of axes, claws and pistols that he's sincerely glad that he brought his sword along with him. Though...For what still he had no idea.

"Hey guys, sorry I'm late but why is everyone look like they're about to go to war?"
Nobunaga     Everyone is decked out for war because-- this is war! Condensed into bite-sized, consequence-free form by the nature of the Moon Cell, but still technically war! The fleeing homunculus jumps from this section to the neighboring section filled with all that enemy activity, scrambling down a central path amidst cube-shaped clutter and obstacles. The dash doesn't last long, though. Once it's scurried a fair bit into the neighboring zone, the homunculus apparently decides to make a stand-- whirling in place and producing a new arquebus. This weapon is brandished, waved back and forth, while the little cretin calls out, "Nob, nob!"

    The hills are alive with the sound of ... rifles. As numerous identical homunculi reveal themselves amidst the clutter of the room. Nothing short of an ambush, from these weird little soldier homunculi. Whoever commands these little monsters is no stranger to grasping for victory in something other than an up-front right.

    At the far end of the sector, a much better proportioned figure stands. Their arms folded, their feet planted, a great red cape blows in the wind. At a glance, this must be the commander, wearing a smilar uniform to the much more immediately threatening homunculi soldiers. Light gleams off the golden sunburst that marks their hat, countless rays radiating from a central point-- an embossed sakura blossom sigil.
Tamamo no Mae     When she orders everyone into the next room, the feel of floating from one room to the next is felt once they go through the room gate. It's a fun little traverse... at least, until that little creten of a disproportionate doll of a thing makes it's stop and turns around. That little rifle being waved in front of the group. "Okay, we got you, you little cretin!" there's a flash of mana and the Caster's mirror is at hand, floating above it. "Alright, you little shit. Now where's your master?"

    Tamamo's ears perk... looking around the room, the sound of rifles being brandished and there's a look of disdain upon her face. "Umm, team. I think we walked into an ambush." she mutters nonchalantly. "So... " she taps her foot, looking around, shaking her head, "Well." she ponders.

    Then the gleam of the golden sunburst catches her eyes, the hat in the farthest area of the room. "I think we found the commander. Everyone, clear out these pests!"
Asterios     Asterios will do one better.

The minotaur's torso explodes in a burst of blood and punctured flesh, but the colossal berserker still stands. The blood running down his body pools at his feet, only barely obscuring the lines of raw mana suddenly surging across the battlefield.

Asteros grunts, eyes locking on the commander at the far end. So she's skilled in the act of the ambush. Very well.

Let's see how well she can ambush anyone... When her forces suddenly find themselves lost in a trap-infested maze...!

                             CHAOS LABYRINTHOS                              
Crys Gattz The ortder is given and she's mroe than happy to clear a clear out the pest, her pistol comes up and she starts firing at the enemy, whtever thes thing are. She's really not too sure, but the energy bolts are flying and she runs in after Aserios intending to try and get into the nearst group of enemies that she can.

"I am afraid we're ambushing your ambush"

Yes she's talking smack but it might get their attention,, if she gets to a group of the enemy? She will in short order detonate burst of fire in the ranks of the homunculi.

"RAFOIE!"
Touta Konoe Ambush what ambush?

That's when the sight of strange little ...People appear all holstering guns across the room. Oh yeah, that's definitely an ambush. Why is this happening again? It didn't matter at this point. As soon as Tamamo yells out to the others one way or another he figures that he's going to need to get ready for whatever these guys are trying to do. What he wasn't ready for was Asterios starting bleeding like crazy. At first thinking he had been shot Touta ran over to the colossal over prioritizing dealing with these 'pests'.

"Hey, you oka-" Before he even gets to finish asking he can see the blood pouring down his chest onto the floor of the room. The accumulation of mana being transferred as it begins to alter the terrain entirely.

"Wow, nice thinking." Touta's seen alot of magic before but never the kind that's acted to alter the field in such a way. He won't complain though, this labrynth had completely taken the element of surprise and terrain advantage from those gun toting pests. So from here they just had to deal with these things as they were spotted. Seemed easy enough.

"Hey, we're not going to get lost in here ourselves are we?"
Nobunaga     Ah ha. So the large one is also a Servant. The commander's head tilts downward, eyes obscured by bangs and cap brim. The Caster was expected-- after all, this advance was encroaching on her territory, but the Berserker is a surprise. And the other two would seem to be regular humans. Would they be Masters? Or outside assistance of some kind? Thoughts to ruminate on later.

    Walls formed out of the Moon Cell's component parts erupt from the ground and clutter, forming grid-like mazes that interrupt the firing lines of the ambushing homunculi soldiers. The two larger forces are promptly isolated into the Chaos Labyrinth, unable to scale the walls or fire through them. The vanguard force is all that's left as an immediate concern, which are quickly dealt with by Crys' advanced weapons. When defeated, the homunculi dissolve into spent magic, leaving little behind but void dust and, curiously, a porcelin teacup here or there.

    "You're more prepared for this than I expected," the black-clad warlord states from her perch, "The Imagawa could have used abilities like that. But, sadly, that is not going to help you against me. You face the Demonic King of the Sixth Heaven." As she descends from her perch, rays of light shoot off, expanding, solidifying into the shape of an Arquebus rifle just...floating there. Each step produces several of them, lining her descent with idle firearms, "You may refer to me as the Demon Archer. For however long you will be able to do such."

    Archer reaches, drawing her katana from the scabbard at her side as she takes those last few steps to ground level, "Present your corpses before Three Thousand Souls, upon the Three Steps of Nagashino!" Bringing her sword up, her spawned weapons respond by swinging to aim forward, alarmingly right down the corridor formed by Asterios' Chaos Labyrinth, "Behold, the Demon King's Three Line Formation!"

    Her voice is drowned out by the reports of countless guns, the scattered rifles behind her firing in volleys. To some, it's 'just' gunfire. A lot of gunfire. But to those of Divine inclination or lineage, this is going to hurt...a lot more.
Tamamo no Mae     Well, this... kinda was expected. Only a Servant could have done this much conquering in a short amount of time. What wasn't expected was all the little Nobbu's getting ready to make them into swiss cheese, and that wasn't going to be good. At least, she had her Meat Shield there, that maze cutting off the 'artillery' and the Archer. "Imagawa?" she questions, tapping her foot as she let's everyone burst the Nobbu down and protect the Caster. "Caster can't allow you to keep conquering my lands~, it's just not right."

    She steps forward a bit, making sure to stay /behind/ Asterios. THere's a look behind at the others, "Get ready to guard if need. I do not know what this Archer's abilities are." she mentions to her 'haphazard party'. "One has to be prepared for things. I'm a Caster, not a Lancer." she smiled, though the smile slowly dissapears with all the rifles coming into view again. "Mikon? A Noble Phantasm already?!" she shakes her head, grumbling, "You're trespassing on /my/ territory! Do not think you can get away with this, Demon Archer!"

    She takes a quick look to Asterios, "Guard me!" she demands, as she hunkers down as gunfire starts to rain down into the group. Some actually /do/ hit the Caster and she yells out like a cannon ball hit her! "Nnngh, Guard me so I can prep my own Noble Phantasm. Try to get close and distract her, ok?!"
Crys Gattz Thing are going well enough but what happens when the enemy falls she does not expect that, heck old reflexes kick in as she'll scoop up the loot and shove it into her photon trap for later use, and hey she could use a tea cup or two really. She now looks to the mysterious warlod he ne good eye narrowing at them for aa moment. 5R
"Demonic King of the Sixth Heaven isn't that a contradiction? Oh so a Archer class?"

She has a little experiance with servants enough to get the classes so she's expecting ranged pain freom this mysterious one.

"...those matchlocks shouldn't be abl..."

She's likely got the weapon typw wrong bt hte shots are coming now she brings up her photone barrier to defelct some o the shots but there are too many, way too many of them stop. She does keep from getting ripped up to hell and back and she is trying to move forward but from the fury of the attck she's facing she's not going to be able to attack the warlord /just/ yet. Demon archer whomever they are? Is proving they do not mess around at all.
Touta Konoe Guns. The moment he sees these rifles his mind flashes back to the last time he dealt with a firearms expert. It wasn't a fun experience. So much bulletholes, so little time to counter attack. But now and then are two different things. Unlike Tamamo, he doesn't have a meatshield to rely on. As the bullets come flying he's forced to try and mitigate the damage as best he can attempting to parry shots with his blade while bracing himself for the shots he'll end up taking. It's what ended up being a viable strategy in his experience.

Demon Archer would likely see why it was that it was a viable strategy if she wasn't too fixated on Caster. One moment the human boy had been shot. There would be bleeding and gunshot wounds. Next...They were gone. The wounds, the blood. The only indication that he had even been shot in the first place and hadn't simply dodged them all was that his clothes were filled with holes.

Still, it's unfortunate to say but Touta has a hard time dealing with enemies from a distance. He has some ways to handle them but with no preparation of his own it's definitely difficult. If he could hold out till this volley was done he figured he could get the jump on her before she could conjure more and reload. That seemed like the safest bet for him. Or it would have been

"Hime-chan!!!" Touta screams to his fox friend as he hears her scream out from behind Asterios. At this point she screams for someone to get in close to distract the archer. So that she can pull out her own Noble Phantasm. He doesn't know what that is still, but figures it's some sort of fancy spell to which he responds, "Forget distractions! I'm kicking her ass! Grasp the world!!!"

The ground around his feet crumble, he's giving up defense for the most part to get in close and personal! Pressing off the ground his body vanishes into a blur using the movement technique shundo to head straight for Demon Archer. Bullets probably keep coming but he's already resigned himself to taking every shot that comes his way. It's only in the moment that he's in attack range that his blurred appearence returns to normal. Though what this Archer sees is quite a sight. In comparison to the one who dubbed themselves Demon Archer, along with servants that have animal/monsterous like features, Touta definitely does seem the most normal at first glance. Though when that black katana is raised above his head and his body covered in bullet holes that are quickly regenerating before her very eyes, the Archer might come to the conclusion that the most monstrous one of this group may be the one she least expected to be so.

While the sword is raised up high, as though he's about to cleave this Archer in two it's not what he intends to hit her with. It's a feint. Instead his left hand would come up under her chin intending to blast her with a fierce uppercut that even a Servant such as herself would need a moment to collect herself after receiving.
Asterios Unbeknownst to anyone who matters at the moment, the minotaur is in fact only a single generation removed from divine generation. The great White Bull of Crete was, after all, sent to the island by Poseidon himself. The minotaur's mother was the daughter of Apollo, god of music and the arts and much, much more. And yet...

And yet, to the minotaur, the bombardment of crimson shells is nothing more than a tremendously painful volley of three-hundred supernaturally empowered musketballs. Asterios roars as he does his job without thanks, without question, his arms lock over his face and chest, he drops to one knee in front of the much more obviously divine fox. More blood leaks from the minotaur's tremendous body-- but each round he absorbs is one that Tamamo doesn't need to take.

Another pulse of mana races across the ground, barriers emerge from the maze in response, forming ample cover for the others to use to approach the archer. As for Asterios...

Asterios is... Still alive. Somehow.

Natural Demon is a hell of a skill.

He unfolds his arms with a roar. A wall erupts from the ground in front of him. The minotaur charges, pressing his shoulder into the data-construct bulwark. It breaks cleanly from where it was rooted to the ground, creating a protective shield which the minotaur uses to try and close the distance between he and this mysterious... Demon Archer.
Nobunaga     Hands held to either side, Demon Archer bares her teeth in a laugh amidst the roar of gunfire and the smell of spent gunpowder. As guns are spent, they're discarded, disappearing only to be replaced by a fresh rifle. Single-shot, but she may have an endless supply of them in whatever conceptual space the Demon Archer's Noble Phantasm heralds from. The volume of fire has apparently pushed Crys into the defensive, though the roaring of the minotaur is cause for concern-- especially when he erects a wall as a shield.

    The barrage stops, then. No sense wasting ammunition on a bulwark that stands no chance of being pierced. Instead, her attention fixates on the charging swordsman with crimson eyes. Her stance shifts from that of a general leading riflemen to that of a samurai, hands shifting to grasp her own katana in a ready position with both hands. Instead of go for a block, though, when Touta seems most likely to go for that downward strike-- the feint-- the Archer instead scoots sidelong to evade rather than block it. His fist whiffs, just barely missing contact, tearing part of her sleeve and cape away just from the graze. Eyes widen, "Well, you're certainly not to be trifled with!"

    Just as she's readying a counterattack, a data construct wall slams into the Archer, pushed along by the bulk of a rating Minotaur. Rifles scatter in all directions from the impact, and again erupt from the Archer almost like hit-sparks when she's sandwiched between the mobile wall section and the Labrinth's actual wall. Only her hand is visible, releasing her katana to clatter on the ground.

    Looks like Touta forced her to focus on him so much that she forgot about the big guy for a second, and that's really all he needed.
Tamamo no Mae     With the Minotaur taking all the shots... Tamamo is really going to have to thank the Berserker's Master now. With everything seeming to die down in terms of firepower, the Caster picks herself up, brushes her dress off and turns around to face the Demon Archer. "Well, well. This... this is 'fun'." she scoffs, watching her Subjects and borrowed Servant advance. She grins a bit at this, pondering a few things, what to do, what to do. "Mikon!"

    Her mirror floats up in front of her, a smile upon her face... and she starts to chant herself. "God who resides in Izumo. Aesthetically certain, Breath of the soul." she starts, the mirror rotating faster and faster as the Caster floats up into the air. "Residing in the mountains and watery heavens, Amaterasu. Let this freely become the proof of purification."

    The scenery starts to change too, torii gates coming into view, and eight balls of energy surround the Caster class. "Thy name is Weighted Stone of Tamamo. Become the sacred treasure, Mirror of Uka! Just kidding~"

    The energy is released... and with a distracted Nobunaga... the attack moves to crash around the entire room, trying to take out any remaining Nobbu and at least /try/ to hit the enemy Servant. Surprisingly, none of Tamamo's allies are affected.
Asterios There's little more satisfying than the delightful ~squeesh~ of a successful maze minotaur pin. Asterios holds the stone wall tightly enough keep the Demon Archer safely stuck between a rock and a hard place and utterly unable to escape. Even for a Servant, it's probably hard to fight when your breath is being squeezed out of your lungs.

And then Tamamo sets everything on fire. And ice. Both! Somehow, Asterios is not caught up in it. Weird!

"Give up," Asterios advises the archer behind the wall. "Surrender now. Please. Or I will have to... Squish you properly."

"I do not really want to squish you properly."
Crys Gattz Crys Gattz is going to have to do something nice for Asterios later for now she needs to not get gunned down and with the volume of fire no really letting up? Then the big guy does a thing to help her a lot, he gets that wall up which getting her a breather now so she can make use of it.

"We ain't dead yet Demon Archer."

Crys notes as Tamenop opens up a can of woop ass of a magical sport and she's flat out impressed at it. It's good to know Tamano is on the same side as shee.

"Look do you want to keeo doing this all day or shall we end this another way?"
Touta Konoe Touta honestly thought he'd catch this Archer off guard with that feint. Apparently she's observant. No in this circumstance perhaps it was better to say that she was simply lucky that her attempt at dodging the sword had been just enough to avoid the actual attack lying in wait. Definitely would have to give her props for that if anything else. That luck runs thin though as Asterios follows up with his own attack. Forced to keep her attention on Touta it looks like she has no defenses bolstered for when Asterios turns her into an Archer sandwich between two slices of thick wall.

It's kinda hard to tell how effective that wall was in incapacitating the enemy leader. He's died quite a few ways, but he's never been squished between two walls before so he can't really reference how much pain it was. All he has to go by is the fact that all those rifles popped out like a bunch of rings from a certain hedgehog game. Then there was the fact she also ended up dropping her sword too.

"Hey! We didn't kill her did we?!"

Just as quick as he was willing to knock her lights out now he's likely one of the first ones to check to see if she was alright. At this point he's pretty sure that they can call it a day right? Right? RIGHT? Nope.

In the next instance the terrain is changed once more. Not by Asterios though, but by Tamamo herself. This must have been that Noble Phantasm she was talking about. It only takes a moment to see why it's called 'Noble'. In a moment he can see the large orbs of energy about to fire and Asterios trying to warn the Servant who might be unconscious to surrender, he starts shouting.

"Hime-chan wait! If you hit her with all of that now she'll actually die!" But it looks like she's already preparing to fire. Touta doesn't want to see Tamamo get hurt but that doesn't mean he wants to see anyone get killed. So when he sees such power being aimed down upon someone who can't defend themself properly he's forced to take action.
Touta Konoe It's a shame for Tamamo in that she went through all the effort to not harm her allies that Touta's intentionally trying to stop her from finishing off her enemy. But he'd rather have her be angry with him than regret not being able to stop a potential fatality. As the enemy minions are decimated by the large spheres of fire and ice, it's only when Tamamo aims her sights at the sandwiched Archer does he act. He drops his katana reaching into his pocket for something compact. As it opens up it turns out to be some sort of metallic hula-hoop. Without missing a beat he starts spinning it around his waist as Tamamo launches the last sphere towards the pinned Archer! He has a feeling the others aren't going to appreciate what he's about to do. As the sphere comes closer he can already feel the power emanating from this thing, and with Nobunaga in no position to block, his mind is made up. His left hand reaches out towards the final sphere...

"Sinus Magnus!"

Even if Touta was immortal, he still sustained injuries and boy should he have sustained quite an injury from taking the brunt of a magical attack like that. But something else happens instead. As the magical sphere makes contact with that left hand it doesn't obliterate Touta, rather it looks like it's getting sucked into it. Like that giant ball of magical energy was slowly but surely being sucked into a vaccuum! It takes a few seconds and a lot of concentration on Touta's part to absorb a magic attack of that size but ultimately the last shot aimed at the Demon Archer is taken by Touta instead. While he's still spinning that hoop around his face looks exhausted and his hand looks like it was somewhat healing but he looks towards Hime-chan with a bit of distress on his face.

"Hime-chan, can we just just call it here?" His eyes wander back towards Asterios pinning the Archer down. All her minions had been decimated by most of her Noble Phantasm, her rifles were scattered across the floor, and even the katana she had been holding onto had dropped to the ground. For all they knew she was unconscious and unable to continue. Hopefully Tamamo can see the plead in Touta's eyes to not attack an enemy who might be defenseless. After all, what kind of victory would that have been?
Nobunaga     Magical explosions blast the arena, scattering the Nobbu still milling around in the maze on either side of the corridor in which Demon Archer herself is being engaged. As these disappear, the threat level drops dramatically, though Demon Archer is shielded by the massive section of wall held in place by Asterios. The one visible part of the Servant, her hand, flails around and then slaps the wall again and again. A fairly universal gesture: tapping out. It's not like she can SAY anything like this.

    Even though the actual homunculi army had just been wiped out-- more of them start coming out of the woodwork. Though these are not hostile in the least. Obeying their leader's surrender, the assorted chibi creatures start collecting the guns that were scattered when Demon Archer herself was struck, then wandering off. Others just...mill around, harmlessly repeating variations of the same phrase: "Nobu!" "Nob-nob." "Nobbu?" "No-bu!"
Tamamo no Mae     Tamamo drops down from her noble phantasm... with one actually hitting an ally. There's a pause... the ally hit was her Subject too. Tamamo sighs softly, "Everyone, disengage." the Fox Caster wanders up towards the wall that is pinning the Demon Archer. "I accept your unconditional terms of surrender." she comments, "You shall be a good ally." a pause, "Berserker, disengage." she commands, hoping he'd listen... then again, Tanya did say that he was supposed to protect her.

    "Demon Archer." she comments, "I am Caster. Envoy of the Concord and owner of a large territory on the Moon Cell where you're summoned." a l;ook is given to Touta, a nod, "I know a surrender when I see it." she smiles, offering a hand towards the Demon Archer once Asterios unpins her. "I'll offer you a station in the Concord as an ally there too. We could use someone with unparalleled capability such as yourself." a pause, "I don't think we have an Archer in the Concord anyways." she grins.

    "What do you say, would you like to join us?"
Asterios     Wow this is a lot of firepower. That's a whole lot of overkill you guys. Lots of explosions and all kinds of other things. Asterios winces, being inexplicably both right in the center of all of the overkill and also utterly untouched by it all.

Fortunately, he's close enough to see that the person behind the wall is:

A) Alive

B) Tapping out

Asterios makes a noise of assent and confirmation. "Aa, okay," he nods, pulling the wall back off... the other wall. Archer is free to... probably fall into a puddle of crushed, frozen and exploded Servant goo.
Crys Gattz Crys Gattz banishes her weapons back into her photone trap and she seems pretty chill with this they are alive. She looks at the small spldiers of Nobu's army and just kinda looks at them for a moment before she looks back to Demon Archer for a moment.

"Well this has been a thing, and Demon Archer? The names is Crys. We got pretty good food if you do, it's a pretty sweet gig really you also proved you can carry yourself in a fight."
Touta Konoe Oh thank God she tapped out. Also she wasn't squished to death. Neat! Then to top it all off Tamamo's agreeing to stop the fight. There's a heavy sigh of relief from Touta as he watches everything begin to de-escalate. Sadly...He still has to keep spinning this hula-hoop around...Or else...

As Tamamo offers him the nod, he can help but smile a bit. Wasn't she advertising herself a while back as an evil fox when they first met? Well, when she's like this he would have never thought so. All he sees now is a bunch of random people finding compromise and not trying to blow each other up. That's good civilization.

So with all that out of the way Touta take the opportunity to great this stranger as well. He probably looks strange still spinning that thing around his hips but he's just pretending it's not there. "Nice meeting ya, I'm Touta Konoe. I'm not really part of the Concord like the rest of these guys, but if you're ever looking for some help let me know. Also, you're really quick on your feet. I thought I had you before with that bluff."
Nobunaga     Once un-squished, Demon Archer peels herself from the wall with a grunt, staggering for a moment. A Nobbu trots up, providing her sword. This is sheathed, and she plants the scabbard down to support herself like a cane. Like this, she can stand tall once more, despite her battered appearance. She fixes crimson eyes on the colossal Minotaur for a moment of scrutiny, then shifts her gaze to Touta and Crys. It's Tamamo that she finally ends her examination on, shifting to rest both hands on the hilt of her sword.

    "An Alliance of Servants, is it? Caster, Berserker, a man doing his best to be a Saber, and...this." Nebulous gestures at Crys, who she apparently can't actually identify. After a moment's consideration, the Archer reaches out, taking the Fox's hand in a firm handshake, "We have an accord. A bundle is stronger than the sum of the branches used to make it."

    Then, Demon Archer...well, she doesn't collapse, she just kind of slumps down into a cross-legged seating position, sword resting against her shoulder. One hand rests on a knee, the other supports her chin, her eyes closed, "To be quite honest, there was no Master when I was summoned. Only...these." A gesture to the Nobbu milling about, "Which appeared when I did. They obey my commands. So I used them." An eye opens, "I am well-accustomed to countries shattered by civil war, ruled by disparate daimyo. So with no direction provided, I simply decided to unite this nation by force. But perhaps such an endeavor is unnecessary after all."
Asterios Asterios is indeed very large, very minotaur, very fluffy, and also very full of bullets. Nobunaga flops down, and Asterios follows shortly thereafter, falling onto his backside. He does not fall on Nobunaga. This is probably to her benefit.

"Mmn. I am. Berserker, Asterios. That," Asterios gestures at Tamamo in the way only Asterios can. That is, he pats her head. Because of course he does. "Is Caster, Mikon."

The minotaur smiles and tilts his head adorably, "It is good to meet, a new friend."
Tamamo no Mae     The hands are shaken, an accord is reached and an alliance, however tenuous, is made. "Very well then. Welcome to the Moon Cell, and to the Concord." Tamamo smiles, "I do apologize about the ferocity of the attacks, but, a Caster has to defend her lands, you know~" she watches the Demon Archer slump down, giving a nod.. No master? She hms, "I see, well, perhaps you aren't in need of a Master then, Demon Archer. Then again, Archers are good at that." she shrugs.

    Her gaze soon falls on Asterios as he starts to introduce people, more so when her head is patted by the hulking giant. There's a soft little 'Mikon', and perk of her ears... until he introduces her. "It's not Mikon, it's Tam... Caster. Just Caster..." She sighs, "This is Touta, my Saber and Subject of the Millenium Capital and behind me is..." a pause, "Archer Crys." a pause and she pulls something out of her obi, handing it over. "This will allow you to speak to my allies in the Concord. Use it well."
Touta Konoe "Saber? Me?" Touta points to himself in surprise. "Thanks but just cause I got a sword doesn't mean I'd be a saber. If I ended up dead there's no way any grail would bring me back just cause of my sword skills." With that being said he would love to lay down too but he can't. Still, he won't complain, he's come out of this much better than the others, in fact he's already healed. His clothes look like they're about to fall right off him though from all the fabric that's gone missing.

He also takes this moment to pick up one of the miniature Nobus out of the blue and start examining them. Literally just plucks one right out of the group and starts messing with it. He's poking at its hands, its sides, seeing if the hat comes off, if it feels more like a soft plushie or more sturdy like an actual body.

"So are these things like familiars then or something? For being so dangerous they're pretty cute."
Asterios Asterios huffs at Caster's rejection of his GREAT NICKNAME. "Just caster. Is bad. What if there are more than one Casters? So instead, you should be Mikon."
Touta Konoe "You can also call her Hime-chan if you don't want her getting mad though. It's definitely alot easier than saying Caster. That's for sure."
Crys Gattz Crys Gattz was about t0o go on a speel about what she is but she halts at Tamamo calling her an Archer, okay she'll hold off not wnitn to cause uissue with that. She gets the work here going on to get Demon Archer join them. She doesn't protest though she might be something better to call her. It works though a name is a name.

"Well that could have gone worse for everyone I think, and I won't lie they are bizzarly cute and many ofthem dropped tea cups when defeated...."
Nobunaga     Demon Archer shifts her head, glancing towards Asterios after he's flopped over. He supplies some introductions, and she fixes a raised eyebrow glance towards Caster, "'Mikon', then?" But wait, this has sparked an argument between allies! After a moment, the girl closes her eyes, slaps her knee, and lets out an honest guffaw, "You really must be friends, then! There's nothing as valuable as an ally you can disagree with, who is still an ally afterwards!" Still chuckling, she props a hand on her knee, "As you have a large supply of Archers, than as a gesture of trust in return for not killing me, my true name." She straightens in her seat, hand resting on her knee, the other on her katana, "I am the Demonic King of the Sixth Heaven, the firm hand that unified a shattered nation from my youth until my death. I am Oda Nobunaga."

    Touta obtains a Nobbu. As he examines it, the homunculus wiggles and squirms, much like holding a small animal that doesn't want to be held. It's very squishy, much like a plush, which runs in line with how they don't seem to leave anything but magical dust behind when defeated. When poked, the wiggling and noise intensifies, until the Nobbu retaliates by biting Touta's hand.

    "Homunculus," Nobunaga explains, "Magical constructs." An eye closes when she fixes a look on Crys, "And I'm going to want those teacups back."
Asterios Asterios decides that Oda Nobunaga is a fine enough name on its own and overall very good but also extremely long. The minotaur blinks his dark, glowing eyes and... Comes to a conclusion. "Nobu," he says, firmly. "I will call you Nobu."
Touta Konoe "Hey!" He says as the little homunculus nips at him. He was pretty sure that he should be the only one here besides maybe Asterios that has the urge to bite something. Like before though any bite marks the little Nobu gives are like they never happened. He does release it back onto the ground. Not to lie though he kinda wants to ask if he could keep one.

But that train of line stops as the Archer truly introduces herself. As the only one besides Tamamo whose actually of Japanese descent, he has to take a moment to re-examine this girl. He does not remember THE Nobunaga being a woman in any of his history books. Was that what they gone over when he was absent or something? No right? Yeah, not possible.

"You're joking right? I thought Nobunaga was suppose to be a guy."

Touta's curiosity gets the better of him now as ends up going over to Nobu and looking her dead in the eyes. He examines every aspect of the woman as if trying to see if she's lying to him. Sadly it doesn't end there. In the same way that he was messing with the Homunculus, he starts messing with Nobu herself. As if in doing so will give him some sort of comprehension of how this could be.
Crys Gattz Crys Gattz says "No problem! They are safely in this for the moment." She taps the gauntlet on her arm. "I'll return them when we get somewhere more suitable to setting them down?" She seems pretty chill about giving 8up the loot at the very least. Not being from earth Crys has no reral idea about Nobunaga but she knows any one who becomes a servant had a serious impact on the world when alive. She does pause htougha t the name's seemign origins.

"The world's a big place Touta."
Nobunaga     Asterios' declaration pulls another jovial laugh from Nobunaga, and she slaps her knee once more, "So it was said, so it shall be! I don't mind a nickname, large new friend of mine--" She cuts off, then, leaning back when Touta gets in her face, "--Hm?" An eye closes, "Everyone looks like a man in Samurai armor, at the end of the day whether I'm male or female is irrelevant. What I did--" Poking is tolerated.

    When Touta tries to take her hat, though, Nobunaga shifts her grip on her hilted sword and swings the handle at his face, "Oi, knock it off. I love a good joke, but I won't forgive insults."
Touta Konoe To be fair, the fact he made it that far without getting swatted at is a miracle in and of itself. So the moment that he gets swatted out he just ends up taking a handle to the face. Though it's more surprising that he's getting hit for messing with the hat than poking her randomly. Still even after getting hit, he gives the demon a brief smile.

"Hehehe, sorry bout that. Still you're not wrong. Guess it really doesn't matter. Still I kinda wish they told us these things in the history books ya know."

It's at this point a voice that hadn't been heard up to this point interjects. "It's more likely that she's simply not the Nobunaga of our world. That would make the most sense considering she's apart of the Holy Grail War as well." If one turned towards the voice the only thing that would be in the direction would be the sword Touta dropped before. "Oh right, didn't introduce him yet either. This is my partner, Kurobo." With that he walks back over to his blade picking it up towards Nobu.

With all the commotion though Touta forgets just how late it had gotten. "Hey, you guys want to go back to the capital to finish talking? We still got a bit of food from before, we can make it a welcoming party or something."
