A minute ago.
"Mélusine." Albert said having caught his breath.
"I'll tag in!! He is gonna kill you guys if I don't come in!!"
Mélusine wanted—needed to join the battle. This was a good chance to kill Saber after all. Plus she has been inching to fight for a good while now.
"… Find his master, then immediately go as far from the city as you can, materialize and head towards his master at top speed, I want you to show him your fury, your bloodlust." Albert then ripped out a lamppost. "Your speed."
He made this order to cover any sort of possible connection between himself and Mélusine. After all if another instance of this occurs what is the one thing in common? Albert.
"Got it!!"
Mélusine did as he said, finding Tomura within a minute.
It wasn't that hard to miss, he was high up on a building looking at Siegfried.
'There he is!!'
He and Kurogiri were up on a water tower watching everything go down with delight.
She turned and flew at max speed as far as she felt was long enough and materialized.
"Fuu~" She breathed out as her armor materialized on her and her visor formed. "Show time! Haaa!! <
Fwhoosh!!!!
She shoots through the skies in a red tinge, liken to that of a comet. The skill <
BOOM!!!
BOOM!!
BOOM!
Traveling at supersonic speed, Mach 5. She grinned ear to ear as she could taste battle.
Right after Mirko kicked Siegfried off Albert. Siegfried stopped his momentum, his feet scrapped—carved the earth to stop his motion. He felt Mélusine coming.
"Master!!" He shouted running off back to Tomura.
Far away Tomura, on top of the water tower felt death at his throat, paired with Siegfried's expression told him everything he needed to know.
"Kurogiri we need to leave!!"
"Yes!!"
Swirl~!!
No hesitation, Kurogiri grabbed Tomura and as they were about to leave, they saw the servant.
"!!!"
Wreathed in a red aura, spewing out such bold bloodlust, that was all they saw before escaping on the nick of time.
Boom—!
Mélusine stops right above the empty water tower.
"…" She turns to see Siegfried who had just landed on a nearby building.
Across from her on another building the two servants look at one another.
"…Ah."
Never has he seen such an ephemeral, dangerous creature in his life. Fafnir would not even compare to this dainty, fearsome weapon. Calling it a person would not be correct or even accurate to how Siegfried sees it.
He looked upon Mélusine's attire, her armor. She was clad in a blue, silver, and gold trimmed armor that befits her regal—draconic air, a true treasure for the ages as it glows, pluses with a blue vigor. A masterpiece of beauty, its brilliance shines under the crescent moon and the hue of the flames around the area. Poised and regal, a sight to behold this armor assorted like a masterful oil painting.
Her hair, long like a fine silk, another treasure in it of itself, it blows in the wind like the swaying of the sea, yet from her pure white hair it fades into a bold, freighting, cautionary red.
"!!" Siegfried comes back to his senses. "You." He grips his Greatsword tightly, his chest beats twice as fast, the first time since he fought All Might. "Name yourself!!" He said boldly, getting into a stance to prepare for anything.
Mélusine stared at him and smiled.
___!
She moved just a hairs widths away from his range, the speed at which she moves or lack of thereof shakes Siegfried even more to his foundation.
'Can I even kill her!? Forget about that can I even hit her to begin with!?'
"I," Her voice burned into Siegfried's mind. "am Lancer." She holds her arms out a bit. "Fwish!" they jet out in a blink of an eye from her arms guards. "You will not be so lucky, Siegfried."
"You knew who I was back then, right?"
"I followed my master's orders. Just like now."
"!!" Siegfried's instincts roared to life, ever cell and vein in his body burst with vigor.
Swish!!
He turned just as Mélusine faded away, an after-image.
Clang!!!
The dragon-slayer and the dragon-type fairy blades have finally clashed.
Clang~
Ting-Ting!
Clang! Swish! Clang!
Crash!!!
Mélusine and Siegfried exchange blows, with Mélusine making cuts and pricks all around Siegfried's body.
'An A Rank Noble Phantasm!?' he thought as through the flurry of attacks caused him to bleed.
Rumble!
Clang-Clang!
Ting-Ting-Ting-Ting!!
Crash-Crash!!
"Huff!! Huff!! Huff!!"
Siegfried's eyes dart around the cityscape as it slowly crumbles away from their fight.
"Huff!! Huff!! Fuu~"
'Her speed is damn near instantaneous. There is no sound of her accelerating or flying. She just floats in place and moves like she's gliding around. It's as nerving as it is creepy, unnatural. Nothing should move like them.'
Siegfried could not see Mélusine as a person but more like a thing. It moves in so many unbelievable ways it could and should not be classified as a existence considered to be natural.
'Even by dragon standards she is way to abnormal!! Avenger was far more natural then this dainty pocketknife!'
"You just thought of some nasty thoughts, no?"
"!?"
Siegfried jumped back as Mélusine appeared right in front of him having thrown a punch.
"I must admit, you are quiet skilled to block so many of my attacks, heh. I expect no less from a dragon slayer." Mélusine said gazing at him.
"I would say the same, but I feel your speed is more noteworthy."
"… It is my strong suit so to speak. Tell me Siegfried. Do you enjoy this?" Mélusine floats back, gesturing the city.
A quick glance at the battle riddled city spoke it all, screams are blended together with the commotion of buildings falls over and the roar of the flames.
"Huh, do you?" Mélusine begins to slowly turn upside down. "Do ya?"
Siegfried couldn't look their way. As much as he disliked it was orders from his master, his wish. Yes, his wish, that's all that mattered to him.
"My feelings are of no concern. I will bring you down and make my master the winner."
Mélusine's lips formed into a wicked grin.
"Very bold, sadly my master has far better magic supply."
Fwhoosh!!
"!?"
Mélusine used her mana burst, the air was charged with draconic red energy.
"Tsk! Hm!!"
He then released his own mana burst, his chest glows three times as bright, his body slowly grows more draconic.
"Pft!" Mélusine stops herself from laughing. "A dragon slayer turning into a dragon! That's funny!"
"Yes but my capability to slay you is not!!"
Crack!!
The building beneath shattered under his feet as he leaped towards Mélusine.
"You fool, the air is MY DOMAIN!!!"
Mélusine disappeared again—vanished completely as if her existence was wiped clean from the earth.
Siegfried's back grew hot, then in a single urge, a push dragon wings sprouted from his back.
Flap!!
Siegfried flapped his wings to get him to turn in midair.
Mélusine appeared right there like she always did.
Siegfried flapped his wings to fly down to get a fraction of the distance between him and Mélusine.
"<< The Evil Dragon will be vanquished. All will be separated into light and shadow. In this moment the world reaches its twilight.>>!!" He shouted as his great sword burst into a beaming light. << Now fall ― Balmung >>!!"
Swish~!
Siegfried swung with his own and the force of his attack, yet Mélusine did not hesitate and only grew faster.
"Fuuuu~~!!" She had a intake of air like a jet, her chest bulged as did her cheeks and roared. "<
She blasted from her mouth a concentrated beam of light that only served to make a path for her as she cuts through Siegfried's NP.
"GRRRR!!!"
Mélusine's visor shattered, and her armor cracked, her blood finally met the air of the world. Siegfried's NP is super effective against all dragons making him the bane of anything dragon. Mélusine's armor is made up of her own mana, even more so after eating a fragment of Albion's bones.
Yet even if she took damage she wanted to see Siegfried's face as she ripped him to shreds and she got what she sought.
"Your fucking mine!!!!"
She got through Siegfried's blast, bloody, but still at full speed.
"Grrr!!!" Siegfried flapped his wings, but Mélusine was not letting him escape.
She reeled her arms back and unloaded a flurry, rapid, barrage of punches.
Stab-Stab-Stab-Stab-Stab-Stab!!!
Stab-Stab-Stab-Stab-Stab-Stab!!!
Stab-Stab-Stab-Stab-Stab-Stab!!!
Stab-Stab-Stab-Stab-Stab-Stab!!!
Mélusine punched, punctured Siegfried's wings and his own body, filling him with holes like he was Julius Ceasar, and began to quickly flew under him and saw the opening in his back.
"<
She threw her uppercut as time slowed for Siegfried.
'I am sorry, master. If only I was a better servant.'
Mélusine touched his back, as she was about to deliver the final blow Siegfried—
Blip!
Whoosh!!
"!?!?"
—escaped death once more, Tomura used a Command Seal to save him.
FWHOOOOOOOOSH!!!!
Mélusine's attack shot into the sky and blasted a hole into the clouds over Hosu.
"…" Mélusine slowly put her arms to her side, chewing on what just happened. A anger boils in her as her wounds begin to heal. "… Again."
Whirr-Whirr-Whirr-Whirr-Whirr-Whirr!!
She glanced to see a news helicopter flying overhead.
"Tsk!"
She felt robbed that her prey, a servant was so close to biting the dust, again. It rose in her a feeling that spoke to the most primitive part of herself.
Her hands cracked, ready to throw a small tantrum but she was better than that. She will remember this slight the dragon slayer did against her.
"I'll gut you, dragon slayer!"
She turns and leaves, disappearing far into the horizon only for her to return to Albert in her Spiritual Form. Her blood that spilled also slowly vanished away.
