"Irefir Ongestaca Mipedes Ovemener, Inglessin Oiptin Igahtha." Kamin muttered under her breath, stretching out her hand.
Several hundred points of light, each no bigger than a golf ball, started to appear around her, rapidly increasing in number.
"Irefir Willefia Ettachek Poneris, Ons Scapeln Outren."
The balls of light suddenly surged forward, and rushed toward Shirou in multiple haphazard patterns.

I need Sol's tanking abilities more so than the bounty on his head for now.
Tsubasa wasn't one to underestimate. Somehow, just somehow, she knew that he was more than just several notches above them.
"Evocatio valcyriarum,"
11 Valkyries flanked Sol immediately.
"Locos Umbrae Regnans Scáthach! In Manum Meum Dedo Iaculum Daemonium Cum Spinis Triginta! Iaculatio Fulgoris!"
She had recently added a touch of lightning to her lances, but she could only summon 30. Even then, they had after effects given her level.
I shouldn't overuse this.
Tsubasa recoiled a few metres into the dojo walls, static flickering around her.
I hope Sol can cover me while I recover. He'd better.

Emiya Shirou[/u] There was magic coming from behind, and a guy charging him from the front. Normally these would be impossible odds, but Shirou was sure he could get out of this with minimal damage. He just had to handle things one by one. "Trace on-!" Four nondescript swords appeared behind him, and flew at Sol's sickles, slicing through them with ease. Although each blade he made was a copy, and these particular blades were fairly undecorated, they were still Noble Phantasms, and mere steel would never be able to match them. Now to figure out the magic... Shirou projected his twin swords, Bakuya and Kanshou, and threw them at Kamin and Tsubasa respectively, before turning his attention to the spells and trying his best to dodge them. He rolled under most, while paying special attention to the lances, but was still struck by quite a fair number. No matter, he had taken worse, and nobody really got hurt in the Dojo anyway, not unless they were really stupid and cut themselves. --- HP: [-30] MP: [-20]

(OoC: Time to copy something >_>)
Sol stopped charging in and jumps back.
'Ok that failed..time to try something else
Sol closed his eyes and focused on a 'spell'.

I knew this would have come by. Great foresight isn't particularly helpful here.
Tsubasa redirected her Valkyries; one to block Kamin, one to herself, another to Sol.
At these times, I really need magic I guess. He can even dodge those lances.
"Captus Flammeus!"
A bright flame surrounded Shirou as the rest of the Valkyries closed in.\

"Irefir Ongestaca Ultplems Mipedes Ovemener, Ettachek Poneris Gresavia." Kamin continued to mutter, using slight hand movements to guide the movement of the balls of light, surrounding Shirou in a haphazard pattern of shots from all sides that, while only about as painful as an ant bite on contact, were painful in huge numbers.

Sol opened his eyes and concentrated at Shirou. If anyone can sense magic, they would feel that the area around Shirou is overflowing with it.
'Almost done...just a bit more..'
Sol closed his eyes again, he then immediately open them and glared at Shirou. In an instant, countless number of knives appeared around Shirou, flying in random directions.(Reisen's spellcard except real not fake)

Emiya Shirou[/u]
That was quite a lot of magic flying around, and the wall around him was just annoying. At times like these, Shirou was glad that he had gone and watched a few fights ever since they moved to the Roundtable, (not his choice, mind you,) since even though nobody got lasting injuries in the Dojo, attacks still hurt. A lot.
"Trace on-!"
A sword appeared in his hand, with a handle like that of a paper fan and such massive a massive blade, it was hard to imagine how it supported its own weight and how Shirou lifted it so easily, but that was the power of his projection. No matter how unwieldy the blade, if its original owner could swing it, he could swing it with nearly the same ease.
"Hamanotsurugi!"
He cut through the fire pillar, and with another swing, sent an invisible wave of energy out that erased both the Valkyries and the magic balls of light. The flying knives though, those were another issue altogether, since they were not inherently magical. Still, if there was one skill that Shirou had, it was the ability to analyse. He quickly read the flight paths of the knives at each turn, and with the gigantic blade that he was currently wielding, knocked them out of the way. With the Hamanotsurugi, even if he could not destroy the spells at range, with a direct hit, they would quickly lose their magic.
"Next!"
Shirou suddenly stopped moving, and stuck the Hamanotsurugi into the ground and held out his hands, grabbing Bakuya and Kanshou as the curved back to him, slicing through everything that they passed. Normal metallic weapons were still not a match for the magical Noble Phantasms after all, and no matter how weak Bakuya and Kanshou were, they were still Noble Phantasms.
He stood his ground, and with his twin swords flashing, blocked any knives that came close with amazing dexterity that was honestly speaking, not his own.

They charged into the battle rather quickly. Sierra was unsure of whether she should join in or not, but it seemed as though Shirou was easily repelling one assault after another. Most of the attacks, even the ones fired at close range, were direct, and Shirou was somehow able to dodge them.
So, what if they were indirect attacks..? From what she saw, not many of the group seemed to be familiar with the word "subtle."
Sierra grabbed her pouch of water and flung all its contents out so that every surface was dripping. She did not seem to care whether or not the water drenched friend or foe. In fact, it was better to have some water on her friends as well.
If you move, I will stop you. If you attack my comrades, I will stop you. Unless you are like Shiki, who can cut the very essence of matter, can you stop me?[/b]
((OoC: I am sad that I probably will not be able to carry this attack out.))

'Ugh..concentrate..'
Sol closed his eyes and focused on the spell, relentlessly creating knives from random places at random directions, now that the knives have appeared, he doesn't need to see them anymore.
'You can't keep blocking them forever..'

Emiya Shirou[/u]
Read the position of the pistol, derive angle, trajectory and speed, and place a shield there before it hits!
In one motion, Shirou threw Bakuya and Kanshou, his yin-yang shortswords, at Sol and Tsubasa, the two direct threats to his safety, and dodged behind the Hamanotsurugi, hiding himself behind the massive blade of the sword. Guns were typically not a real issue for him, but he could not move freely with so many knives flying at him.
From his position behind the Hamanotsurugi, Shirou felt himself get drenched, and heard a voice in his head. If he had to venture a guess, that was probably a water manipulator at work, and she was probably trying to restrict his movements with her water. It did not do any real damage, but coupled with her allies' attacks, it really did quite a lot of good. Especially since Shirou still had no real idea what she was doing with the water.
Knives continued to fly at him, far more dangerous than the bullets due to the fact that they came from nowhere and anywhere. He could not move freely so long as he was trying to stay behind the Hamanotsurugi, and his hands were currently empty.
Oh, crap.
He saw a knife flying at him, but without the ability to dodge left or right due to bullets, he was pretty much doomed to get stabbed. He raised an arm to receive the knife, feeling the blade pierce his flesh.
But that was hardly enough to stop Emiya Shirou...
"Trace on-!"
Send mana to my arms, my legs, my eyes, my heart, my lungs, my bones, and reinforce!
He ripped the knife out of his arm as Bakuya and Kanshou returned to his hands, and blocked the rest of the knives coming at him with ease.

What, light-cancel...?! Wait... the Valkyries were gone too...
Magic Dispel. Oh, gosh. What a horrible skill to go up against.
Kamin pulled out her Dragunov, and held a single round in her closed palm.
"Polloa Gukyuis Ompressil, Onvessir os Otentias Nergise, Horst omf Luteb. Activas!"
Her hand started to glow, little pinpoints of light flowing from her hand into the bullet. Light, if nothing, was energy. She charged light into the bullet, such that on impact, it would release all its 500 kWs of energy at once in a single concentrated beam no more than 3mm across.
But this would take a while...
Hopefully someone covers me.

'Hmm..time to take it up another level..'
Sol sat down and planted him hand to the floor.
'It's time for a little dance..'
Knives started to appear randomly from below the floor, flying straight at Shirou.

Water should conduct him quite well.
Tsubasa was well recovering from the after effects of a double-edged attack.
"Ensis Exsequens; Fulgoris!"
A blade of lightning extended towards Shirou who was totally drenched, then extended to lock him in a sphere that closed in on him, also conducting the water around Shirou.

Emiya Shirou[/u]
There were attacks coming from all directions again. Pretty much the story of his life. There was always somebody trying to kill him. He would have to go yell at Fuji-nee when this was over and done with.
There was a sniper on his right, presumably enhancing her bullet with magic. That stuff was dangerous, so he threw Bakuya at the Dragunov and Kanshou at the sniper herself, knowing the importance of distractions. Though to be fair if he was going all out they would all be sprawled across the floor already.
He then turned his attention towards the blades coming from the floor, and after deciding which ones would hit him and which ones would harmlessly fly past, he replicated each knife that was a threat and sent them down at each other, and they clashed harmlessly before even reaching Shirou.
As for the lightning blade... He pulled the Hamanotsurugi out of the ground once more, and with the exorcist's sword, slashed at the electricity and completely dispelled the magic, thanking the heavens for the experience he had gained in the Roundtable. Before reaching this place, the only thing he could have done about that attack was take it head-on, but with so many new weapons stored in his Reality Marble now, he had a counter for almost everything.
"It's my turn to go on the offensive now. Make sure you dodge the first strike! Trace on-!"
An image appeared in his mind, intricate electronics forged into a pure white frame. The hilt of this sword was already almost as tall as Shirou himself, but he had no intention of swinging it. The round handle appeared over his head, his projection perfect, and with a thought, he activated the beam saber, ten metres in length, and sent it spinning towards his opponents.

How is this possible? He can cancel out even otherworldly magic...[/b]
Sierra didn't have time to consider his abilities before a more pressing concern presented itself.
A spinning sword appeared in the air. Like a boomerang? She had seen little boys playing with it by the shore back in the day. Some had landed in the sea, to the boys' dismay, but Sierra had always washed it back for them.
But she didn't like boomerangs. It was hard to predict their trajectory.
She moistened the air with a bit of vapor, so that vision was not impaired, while also giving her the ability to sense when the water was shifted.
It's a good thing there is water. I can move myself and others much more easily.[/b]
With a plausible defense in place, she allowed her mind to analyze Shirou, while her "body" reacted to the blade that cut through her water.
He could copy things. Even though he had a sword, he created the replica instead. How perfect? His huge fan on the ground canceled magic and his two blades were quick to block, and probably lethal if used in melee.
Everyone was still firing attacks directly.
A group of fools... The spirits of Orlania mocked, slightly more polite than their Nasul counterparts.
Shirou was still wet. Sierra gulped at the idea that popped into her mind. The water reacted to her before her mind could process the effect.
The water crawled into Shirou's wounds and froze.
Freezing water makes it.. expand.. doesn't it..?[/b] Sierra realized, slightly terrified.

"Flans Exarmtio!"
Disarming Shirou took priority; the little time he would be left unarmed meant just one more attack with a much higher chance of landing.
Now.
Tsubasa regathered her lightning blade almost immediately, and into Shirou's chest.

Kamin continued to charge.
Man, this is taking a long time...
She started to gesture slightly, putting little circles of light around the walls of the dojo. They would be useful later. In the meantime, she took to the air, the beam saber passing barely inches below her feet.

Sol sensed that something was wrong, he opened his eyes and saw the saber, he then immediately went underground, cancelling all his attacks.
'Ugh..that guy is stronger than I thought..
From the safety of the underground, Sol concentrated on creating blades out of the dojo's floor this time though, they won't fly.

Emiya Shirou[/u]
The water crept into the cut on his arm, and froze. Normally, that would have meant a stinging sensation that he could quickly get over, but the water manipulator had filled his wound to the brim while he had not been watching, and the expansion of the ice tore at his wound, and it was as though his arm was being ripped apart.
This unexpected pain... He bit his lips, refusing to let a scream escape, occupying his mind with other things instead. If he allowed himself to be distracted by such things...
He did however, let out a gasp as his sword was thrown out of the way by the unexpected wind spell. Though his slashes had all the properties of the original wielder, his body did not retain the magic cancelling ability that the Hamanotsurugi's actual owner had, and this meant trouble. He crossed his arms to block the lightning blade that speared towards his chest, and took it head on, which sent him across the dojo hall into the far wall. If not for his Reinforced body, he would have been pierced straight through the chest by such an attack, and if it was anywhere but the Roundtable, that would have meant his death.
He picked himself up quickly enough however, and was forced to hop sideways as knives popped out beneath his feet, promising him a world of pain if he did not watch his step. Panting heavily as he did so, Shirou sent mana to his shoes, and Reinforced them, making them tougher than steel with his magic. At least this put the problem of the trapped floor out of the way, but...
He was pissed off now.
"I am the bone of my sword..."
A sleek black bow appeared in his left hand, and a thin, spiral, drill-like sword in his right. Mounting the sword like an arrow onto the bow, Shirou slowed his breathing to a crawl, and concentrated, aiming the arrow at the ground in the middle of the group.

The battle was progressing slowly enough for Sierra to follow Shirou's actions. While his quick reactions allowed for him to evade (or take) 3-4 attacks, Sierra was able to use that time to plan her next move, though she hesitated a moment too long when she saw his reaction to her ice.
Of course, this would never work if I were alone. If the purpose of this exercise is the learn how to fight in a group, then what did I come here for? Granted, the others could use some coordination, but...[/b]
Though Sierra's thoughts were troubled, she decided to continue participating. The others were hitting hard and fast, but their attacks alone were easy to dodge.
And Shirou had another trick up his sleeve. Sol was nowhere in sight, so he was safe from this one. However, the dangerous drill-arrow was headed straight for her, Kamin, and Tsubasa's general area. Judging by the way Shirou aimed the shot, it probably didn't need precision to hit. An area-of-effect type of move.
When it shoots, will it spin like a drill? If it does, then the effect of most direct hits will be nullified. The power of the Spiral.. ((OoC: Could not resist x3)) ..
Oh, I know...[/b]
Sierra brought some of the water that was going to waste in the corners (about 1 square foot) and shot the blob towards the drill. She kept the blob of water attached to her arm with a string of liquid, so she could control it better. She was hoping to be able to swallow the missile with the water before it reached their group and try to slow it or even stop it (though that was an empty hope).
Sierra, you're being a little rash... What if the missile contains magic charges?
The Undine barely faltered. She would put up with the pain when it came, if it meant helping the others.

'This is tiring..maybe I should take a rest while I'm still down here..'

That spell...
Tsubasa considered most attempts futile by now, but since Sierra was doing something, Sol could launch surprise attacks, and Kamin just needed to survive for now: holding out took priority.
"Vertatur Tempestas Veris-Nobis Protectionem Aerialem-Flans Paries Venti Vertentis!"
Typhoon winds built up before the drill.
Even if it didn't absorb the entire attack, Sierra's last defence would be strong enough.

The drill-shaped sword caught her eye.
It can't be... There's only one sword shaped like that in the world...
And she had seen it in the Irish Museum of Ancient Relics when she was in Ireland two years ago.
Caladbolg, "The Blade of Lightning", that chopped the tops of three hills in one stroke and had the power to kill entire armies.
One of the Origin Blades of Excalibur. And he can make it...?
"Fergus mac Roich, Niswera vis Allic, Clipseos da Wordsei. Endl vis Tsreng ot Efeais da Wordsei."
Kamin pumped in even more mana, and the bullet started to glow. The little points were all over the dojo walls by now, invisible yet there.
