"Time to get in on the action. Needle Creation: Lance, 5 Kunai."
A lance and 5 kunai appeared.
"Fire."
If Shirou broke them, them would simply come back at him. No matter how many particles he smashed it into, the basic binding force of magnetism would pull it back together.
Constantine smiled.
"Handle this, Shirou. You can't break the laws of physics. Oh, and let me try something. PUSH."
Constantine aimed a powerful magnetic blast at Shirou's sword, attemtping to throw him backwards.

Emiya Shirou
Simply calling what Shirou shot an arrow would be to do disservice to the sword that he had projected for that purpose. After all, it was not just any blade that he had made. It was Caladbolg, a sword with a long history that had over time, became a Noble Phantasm that was nothing short of fearsome in power. It was easy to craft too, and simple enough to modify slightly for the sake of aerodynamics.
Caladbolg II ripped through the air, and as it flew, it started to spin, creating an air vortex that made the area affected by the path of the arrow much larger than it would appear. If any of these newbies here thought that their defences were unbreakable, if they thought that they could make themselves untouchable, they were wrong. As a Noble Phantasm, Caladbolg II could break the unbreakable and touch the untouchable. ROW ROW FIGHT THE POWER!
Tsubasa had whipped up a typhoon to stop the attack, but that was meaningless. Caladbolg II merely continued to spin against the raging winds, and while it could not rip through with its vortex while it was contained by the wind barrier, that had never been Shirou's intention to begin with. The water too, grabbed at Caladbolg II, but that did not stop the arrow. It continued to spin, and it continued to move ahead, not straying from its original target at all.
"Caladbolg!" Shirou yelled as the arrow touched the ground, and the sword shattered and released an explosion. If he not held back on that attack, the entire building would have been flattened, but Shirou's intention had never been to kill them. He had that much self-control at least.
He broke the projection of his bow after he was sure the Broken Phantasm had been released, and as the kunai and lance flew at him, Reinforced his clothing, and the weapons got stuck in the cloth that was now as stiff as steel.

The bullet was practically white by now. When it fired from the gun, it wouldn't have to hit anything - the light would emanate immediately, a compressed beam of light able to cut through almost everything.
Caladbolg was, no doubt, painful, but Kamin knew that Shirou had held back because she wasn't exactly vaporised yet. Luckily, she had managed to fly quite a fair bit away from the blast radius, but she was still a bloodied mess from shrapnel and whatnot.
She loaded the bullet and took aim.
"Irefir Convecta Latfis!"
She fired - at the wall of the dojo.
Instantly, the light points on the wall flared, creating 10cm diameter light wells that reflected light. The beam bounced around hundreds, even thousands of times, cutting through everything it hit, pure energy without any magical essence due to a non-magical vessel.
It was a lightweb, focused at the centre where Shirou was.
Of course, such power was not without side effects. Kamin keeled over and dropped onto the floor from overexertion.
"Blah... I'll be out from the battle for a while, I guess."

Sol, had fallen asleep while resting, was awaken by the shock of the explosion.
'Dammit..they just had to create an explosion. Oh well, I think I rested enough already'
Sol jumps out from dojo floor behind Shirou and slash him.

So it's an all out offensive. On our part.
Tsubasa made a note not to waste mana, however spectacularly; so. Still, typhoon winds weren't that easily dispersed. Another point was that much of her attacks were re-usable.
"Fulgurientes."
The stagnant wind whirred into a vortex of lightning sweeping and slamming everywhere around Shirou.
Luckily he held back.

Her water did not work. The moment she realized this, she began to panic.
Why do you fear pain, Sierra..?
Sierra had never experienced pain before. The sensation from healing too much was merely lightheadedness--perhaps close to fainting. But true pain...
The water that surrounded her was ineffective--not able to defend her completely from the blast. Her absolute elemental control was no match for the ancient weapon.
Shards of the sword cut at her exposed skin. Red liquid that Sierra could not control dripped from the open cuts. She covered her mouth to muffle a shriek that tore at her throat.
Sierra..! Get a -- ... hol... --- f... yo...r...se...-- The voices were fading. It was as if they were being pushed out.
Charon...[/b] Sierra sobbed quietly and, slightly deluded with pain, started a desperate song.
The physical sensation peeled away one of the layers in her mind. The rush shattered that wall that had always protected Sierra from the cruelties of the world. Behind that wall, higher level entities rested, waiting for the one with the power to call them forth. They had no qualms about killing.
Boatman of the river Styx...[/b] Sierra thought, tears flowing silently, mixing with her blood.
Take away this pain.. Her song began.

Emiya Shirou[/u]
Shirou's eyes widened as the light mirrors expanded, and without even bothering to ascertain what it was that Kamin was firing, unconsciously matched all the angles of reflection and ducked into a blind spot as the light web formed. There was no way any human could follow the speed of light, but with his Reinforced eyes, he had insight that bordered on precognition, allowing him to take full advantage of the smallest openings in any formation. The endless array of lasers still cut at him, but it was damage that he could handle, even if he preferred not to get hit at all.
As he took in his surroundings, there was no way he could miss the small space which he had left behind him, as Sol burst out from the hole he was hiding in and tried to slash at Shirou. He had attacked too early however, and the light web simply caught him inside too, injuring the unprepared Sol more than it did Shirou. This team, if it could be called a real team at all, lacked the necessary coordination to fight, but then again, they had all came on their own, and wanted to individually get stronger, so there was no reason to force the concept of teamwork into them here and now.
Instead, he was going to teach them one of the basics of battle. There was no meaning in doing things that had already been established to be futile. It was impossible to win a fight against a stronger opponent with sheer force. From his corner, Shirou turned his attention to Tsubasa, who had recovered quickly and was recovering her wind magic in order to cast another spell. A lightning vortex quickly formed, but ultimately, Shirou was quicker.
"Steel is my body, and fire is my blood."
The chant was like a countdown for the group. After all, Shirou's patience had its limits, and with healers all around, he could expend his mana however he wanted. When their time was up, he would activate his Reality Marble, and they would learn what it meant to truly be outclassed. There was no doubt that these people had been defeated in mysterious ways before, since it was the main reason why anyone would come to the dojo, but these people who defeated them, they were people with no face and name, merely extraordinarily strong beings.
This time would be different.
"Caliburn!" The holy sword appeared in his hand. It was the proof of the king, and was decorated as befitted its status. However, that had no bearing on its power as a symbol and a weapon, and it was this weapon that Shirou used to cut straight through both light and lightning, as he rushed for Tsubasa.

"Tch. Break."
The needles flew back to Constantine. This guy was good. He would have to try something else.
"You can cut light. You can cut lightning. But I don't think you can break this."
"Iron Dust: Infiltration."
Shirou would breathe in this powder. And to encourage him to breathe harder...
"Bullet Stop: Energy Matrix. Target Coordinates: Enemy, front, 1cm distance."
Constantine threw a magnetic barrier 1cm in front of Shirou. Designed to stop speeding bullets, it would most likely catch Caliburn. And again, it was nearly invisible, with only a very slight warping of air to show its presence.
[OoC: I won't be in SG from 24th to 27th. Can NPC control Constantine if needed till I'm back? Thanks.]

*Insert scream of pain here*
Sol, after getting hit by the lightweb, dropped to his knees, before falling face-down onto the floor.
'It..hurts..'

Surely our coordination can't get worser.
"Malleus Aerialis."
Tsubasa slipped a spell in the middle of her original incantation; god knows what would happen later.
But for now, the main idea was to flatten the dojo. Shirou came in the package.

Emiya Shirou[/u]
Shirou continued to rush at Tsubasa, and swung Caliburn at her. He had passed a magnetic field of some sort earlier, but Caliburn was not an ordinary sword that could be readily affected by the forces of nature. In the first place, the material that it was made of was not something that these fighters would know of, but ordinary steel was certainly not it. There was certainly resistance, but he cut through it anyway, the power of the sword overcoming the power of the spell.
He could not be stopped so easily after all, and reaching anyone in the dojo was child's play for him. After attacking Tsubasa, Shirou allowed his image of Caliburn to shatter, preparing another sword to attack another of his opponents.
"I have created over a thousand blades."
Shirou projected another weapon, more a club than a sword. This weapon was not magical, but it more than made up for it in sheer power. After all, it was almost as large as Shirou himself, and when it was swung, it packed the power of Berserker behind it. He quickly turned to Sierra and attacked with earth-shattering force, knowing full well that there was no way Tsubasa could finish off her spell before he was done with his attack.

Si...r...a... The spirits tried very hard to reach her. They didn't want their friend to invoke too deeply in higher magic--the consequences were always disastrous.
The Undine continued singing, not hearing the spirits. The energy from the song built up within her, sealing her wounds, and coating her body with natural energy. She could sense an attack directed at her, but Charon was always eating away at her pain.
You must pay the proper price... The voice rumbled. Different from the whisper of the lower spirits. This voice was deafening and demanding.
Charon was not one to give up his sacrifice. The Boatman moved Sierra to the side before she could even command the water to do it for her. To outside eyes, it would look as if the girl had suddenly up and floated.
The large club was still coming at a formidable speed, but it would not stop her song--as long as she did not die. And Charon would not let her, for he wanted her life.
The club crashed into Sierra's left leg. She heard her bones breaking... but she didn't feel it. Charon had begun to take over her soul. The impact sent her flying to the far corner of the room. Water buffered her impact so that her leg was the only part of her that sustained manage. But the song continued to appeal to Charon.
She had become a puppet--at this point, it didn't matter if all her limbs were broken.

"Heal." Kamin expended the last of her energy to allow Sierra to recover, because she alone at the moment had even the slightest possibility of defeating Shirou, however crazy that might sound.

"Jovis Tempestas Fulguriens."
It wasn't exactly the expected result. Yet again, having taken Caliburn into her chest and slipping an intermediate spell into an incantation meant changes. For the first time ever, Tsubasa felt herself instinctively shielding from the wind.
No.
There wasn't a raging tempest tearing everything up, another tempest of sorts forcefully ripping everyone off whatever footing they had left and mangling everything in a heap. A hungry vortex of sorts. The effect was instant, just that Tsubasa didn't feel it, however battered she had become; entirely drained too. It sapped her mental strength while not physically.

Emiya Shirou[/u]
"Don't be ridiculous! I could have killed all of you a dozen times by now and you rip my dojo up?!"
Shirou was getting increasingly annoyed now, and it was starting to show. Turning his attention back to Tsubasa, he started to create the image of his most powerful attack outside of his Reality Marble. He held one of Berserker's strikes in his hand, but Hercules' weapon did not hit just once. Nine times simultaneously, ripping through flesh and bone like they were inconsequential. That was Hercules' second, secret Noble Phantasm, and while Shirou had never laid eyes on Nine Lives, the bow that killed the Hydra, he could replicate its effect somewhat.
"Unaware of loss, nor aware of gain..."
Eight more stone axe-clubs appeared in the air around Tsubasa, and when Shirou struck with the weapon in his hand, all the others burst forth in a similar motion, each one a crushing blow that at full force, would kill almost anything. He was not here to kill, but people did not die in the Roundtable, not really.
"Nine Lives Blade Works!"
Nine crushing blows from nine different directions, each one more than capable of being classified as a knockout blow flew at Tsubasa, ripping through the vortex with sheer superior force. These were blows inherited from Hercules after all, who had been monstrously strong in life, and even more deadly in the Throne of Heroes.

The Club of Hercules...
Kamin was, if anything, completely bewildered by the fact that here was a guy, one around her age no less, randomly pulling out superweapons of the ancient world like they were expendable objects.
Well, it's not like I can do anything anyway... The only thing that could ward against the Club of Hercules is the Tunic of Nesseus, and it's impossible for us to have that...
She was really tired, but there was no way she could recover right now. The only thing she could do was rest.
And, of course, Sol was out cold.
Kamin lifted a finger, and shot a bit of light into Sol. While healing a half-demon was a futile attempt at best, it would do to jumpstart his body, whether as an adverse reaction or not.

Two people down and Kamin was too tired to lend much aid. Sierra ached to help her comrades, but she could no longer control her own body. All she felt was Charon's presence, pulling her towards his soul. The closer she got to it, the more her own soul became overshadowed... the unavoidable result of comparing a candle with the sun.
Her body was brimming with power, threatening to overflow. Would she be able to make it in time?

Emiya Shirou[/u]
Two of his opponents were down, and it was time to finish off the rest. He ran up to Sierra, recognising her as the greatest threat to his well being, and with an overhead swing, attempted to bring the club down onto her head. It was enough force to have anyone's skull explode like a watermelon in any other place, but as long as the magic of the Tiger Dojo held, all that would happen was an odd ringing sound annoying the recipient of the attack for a few days.
"Waiting for one's arrival..."
He dispelled the club, and summoned his trusty shortswords Bakuya and Kanshou again. From here on, raw brute force was no longer going to be needed. The Yin Yang blades would more than suffice against these people for now, barring any massive surprises.

Now that Shirou had turned his attention fully to her, it would it infinitely more difficult to evade him. This proved to be true when he swung his huge club at her at a very high speed. Someone trained in combat might have been able to avoid it, but Sierra was very very far from being a front-liner.
Charon moved her arms around her face, and her water up to buffer as much of the blow as possible, while trying to fling Sierra out of the way.
But she knew that it would not work. The only other way to have succeeded was to break the seal so that all physical blows would become useless, but she could not control herself while Charon was still present.
The liquid fought valiantly, but remained no match for the legendary weapon. Once again, Sierra felt that sensation that nearly drove her insane, but thankfully, this seemed to be the last time.
Pain...
Charon roared in anger as he sensed his medium losing consciousness. Though incomplete, he surged forward, a being of pure spiritual force, and consumed what part of Emiya Shirou that he could. Not satisfied, he continued onwards to the others, if they were within 10 meters.
((HP 1/2))
Sierra's physical body hit the wall like a puppet without strings and dissolved into water before hitting the ground.
Only the image of her tattoo remained, floating quietly above the damp ground.
((Sierra KO))
((OoC: Her tattoo crest can be moved around until she recovers enough mana to recompose her physical body. According to the song magic, her HP/MP should be in the negatives right now.))

Emiya Shirou[/u]
Shirou yelled very loudly as he felt his soul being ripped to into two, on top of the sharp sensation of something was trying to escape from his lungs. It would probably have worked too, if his entire body had not been Reinforced. Thankfully, there were no nerve endings inside of his body, so there was no real pain from the attack, but he knew that the damage had been done. There was no way that Emiya Shirou could finish this without a trip the the healer now, unless he wanted his bones to be made of swords.
"I have no regrets, this is the only path."
Still wielding the massive stone club, Shirou headed towards his last dangerous opponent Constantine and attacked him head-on with a horizontal slash that in any other circumstances, would have smashed straight through a person and left him in two pieces.
