No POV

Khiry is staring face-to-face with L'Arc & Theresa.

L'Arc: Kill us? But you & I are supposed to fight fair.

Something was thrown into the air. It is heading in the air. Then landed near Khiry's foot. Glass then landed next to L'Arc as Khiry's group landed next to him.

Glass: Forgive me, Assassin, but this will be the end for you.

Khiry then sees something in the sky flying towards them slowly. His eyes widen that he & the group are seeing... The Hanging Garden of Babylon. 

Khiry: The Hanging Garden of Babylon... It exists.

Glass: Surprised? We now know what & who you are, Assassin Hero. Unfortunately for you, we have backup.

Khiry secretly brought Deku nuts behind him as Naofumi then saw them.

Naofumi: Raphtalia, Filo!

Glass then launched her range magic attack as Khiry threw a deku nut at them. 

Khiry: Barrier!

Khiry's barrier took the attack, causing it & the material to break due to overuse.

Glass: A shell? You should do better.

The second that Glass fan hit the Deku nut, a flash blinded Glass, Theresa, & L'Arc.

Khiry: I did. Those nuts are different from my eg bombs. Now then...

Khiry then changes into Erza Scarlet.

Erza(Khiry): I will go on ahead. Try to help Naofumi.

They then nodded as Erza(Khiry) equipped Heaven's Wheel Armor: Plated armor covers her chest, with a large metal flower over it, and she wears a large billowing skirt that has metal plating in the upper area. Her stomach and neck are uncovered, and she has large metal wings that appear to be made of individual blades, as well as a wing-like headpiece. She(He) then takes flight & heads to the fortress.

Erza(Khiry): With my Caster form, this battle might be a walk in the park. Hmm?

Erza(Khiry) then sees golden circles behind it. Then the garden defense activated as a laser was fired, causing Erza(Khiry) to dodge.

Erza(Khiry): A laser?!

Hundreds of Dragon Wing Warriors came out as the golden circles disappeared.

Erza(Khiry): So the Hang Garden has a defensive system. How will I destroy something like this from the inside? Better find the control then. Blumenblatt!

Erza(Khiry) will requip a mass amount of swords, and then charge at her opponent and slice him or her with two of her swords. Then she will fly past her enemy and send the swords she Requipped into the enemy at the same time. She(He) then looked at them with a smirk, then faced forward. 

Erza(Khiry): I guess it is time to make an entrance. Pentagram Sword!

Erza(Khiry) slashes the swords in the shape of a pentagram to make an entrance. She(He) then requip into the Clear Heart Clothing. The Clear Heart Clothing is described by Erza as just normal clothes without any special properties. As her armors represented the walls around her heart, donning these clothes represented Erza opening her heart and breaking down the walls she'd built up to protect herself. While in this outfit, she discards defense, instead focusing primarily on offense. Erza(Khiry) then looked around to see the interior.

Erza(Khiry): Right side & Upside down hallways? Going blind in here might be a bad idea. Then again, what choice do I have to figure out this layout? 

Erza(Khiry) started to walk carefully as she(he) is looking around.

Erza(Khiry): Something tells me... I might not be able to get out--

Eraz(Khiry) then stepped on a device that caused the wall to shoot arrows. She(He) quickly took a kunai out & deflected them.

Erza(Khiry): Unscathed.

Meanwhile, Astolfo is flying on his hippogriff with Mordred.

Astolfo: You knew he didn't have the strength to defeat Archer? Why?

Mordred: Father told me about him.

Flashback brought to you by Chibi Astolfo & his hippogriff

Mordred: Archer?

Artoria: Yeah. This one might be too much for him.

Mordred: Have you met him?

Artoria: I have fought him. Be careful.

Present Day brought to you Chibi Artoria & Mordred eating burgers

Mordred: Khiry...

Astolfo looked at Mordred with a smile.

Astolfo: Don't worry, Mordred. We'll save them.

Astolfo made his hippogriff fly faster to get to the fortress. They then see a hole that was made by Khiry. The dragon-flying warriors are trying to fix it.

Astolfo: Look!

Mordred: He must have made a hole. Those warriors are about to close it.

Astolfo & Mordred are headed to the hole that Khiry made.

Back with Khiry, still as Erza, She(He) is attacking an army of dragon warriors while moving to find control of the fortress. 

Erza(Khiry)(Mind): Where is that control room? 

Erza(Khiry) then entered a room that had some magic potions.

Erza(Khiry): Potion room.

Erza(Khiry) then opened the door to an enchanted bathroom.

Erza(Khiry): A bathroom? I feel a bit scared now.

Erza(Khiry) then opened the door to see clothes. She(He) then closed the door.

Erza(Khiry): I'd rather not.

Erza(Khiry) then ran & turned the corner to a weapon flying towards him at lightspeed. He quickly reacted & dodged his head, causing the spear to enter into the gold portal. Erza(Khiry) is panting.

Erza(Khiry): I dodged it. Yeah, as expected, she is anticipating my direction with these traps. She really wants me dead. 

Erza(Khiry) got an idea. She (He) then requip into Adamantine Armor. The Adamantine Armor is a large, blue and navy colored armor. The breastplate is composed of different plates joined together, with four, prominent tube-like ornaments on the front, right above her breasts, below the high armored collar. The shoulder pads are very large and sport prominent plates shaped like spikes, protruding from a far darker part which composes the base of the structure. The armor is completed by a helmet which covers the top and the sides of Erza's face, leaving the back part of her head exposed, and sporting prominent spikes jutting outwards. She(He) then run as the circle is shooting weapons, but Erza(Khiry) then use the shield to blocked the incoming attack. The circles are disappearing as Erza(Khiry) requip her(his) Heart Kreuz Armor. Made by the popular fashion brand Heart Kreuz specifically for her, this is Erza's casual armor, which she is mostly seen wearing. This armor sports a breastplate now composed of a single piece of metal, decorated by curved lines and by a deformed version of Heart Kreuz's mark, with the cross' right arm extending to the right part of Erza's chest, and the added mark of Fairy Tail located under the cross itself, which is now lacking the brand's name. Erza(Khiry) then brought out a sword as she(he) saw 100 dragon warriors & took them all out.

Mordred: Khiry!

Erza(Khiry) then sees Mordred heading toward her(him).

Erza(Khiry): Mordred.

Mordred: There is something I need to tell you.

Meanwhile, Mirella is looking at the fortress, worrying about her demi servant.

Back with Khiry, as Erza, & Mordred. Mordred then finished telling her(him) about the Archer his father faces.

Erza(Khiry): Archer? Are you telling me that even your father had a hard time with him? I don't think the word unscathed will cut it. I just need to survive.

Mordred: Will you be alright If I fight this Archer?

Erza(Khiry): Well, considering that you & your father might be the same strength, & she has taught you some knowledge about this Archer, I believe that would be the best options. 

Erza(Khiry) & Mordred then nodded. They then looked at the two paths & looked at the signs: One said 'Assassin' & the other said 'Archer.'

Mordred: It looks like a trap.

Erza(Khiry): More like a trap within the trap. Those signs might be misleading. Although, I don't know this building's layout.

Mordred: I see that since the traps are proven enough on where they have been activated. I think it will be better if we follow your idea.

Erza(Khiry): Well, I believe if the signs are misleading, that Assassin of Red might be in the room on the path with the 'Archer' sign with Archer is on the 'Assassin' side. However, only one is in the right. The question is you or me?

Mordred: I think I should take the 'Caster' path.

Erza(Khiry): Then I'll go down the 'Assassin' path.

Mordred: Well, before we go, there is something I need to do. Can you turn to normal for me?

Erza(Khiry) is curious about the request, but he changes to normal. Mordred then removed the mask. She then kissed him on the lip. They then stop as Mordred & Khiry are blushing. Khiry then looked at Mordred.

Khiry: Who...

Mordred: the whole group.

Khiry: And Fran?

Mordred: Will be involved too.

Khiry(Mind): I hope I don't have women problem in the future. This won't end well.

Khiry: Anyway, stay alive.

Mordred: You too.

Morded then put her armor on & headed to the 'Caster' path. Khiry brought out his new half-demon mask, put it on his face, & slid a dagger between the teeth. He then pulls his mask to hide the mask & dagger, then proceeds to take the 'Assassin' path. Mordred then entered the room that didn't have a door to see...

???: Well now, we have to meet again, Saber.

Mordred is looking at the Assassin of Red, Semiramis. She is described as a "depraved beauty" and a "peerlessly beautiful woman" wrapped in a dress as "dark as midnight" who emanates a pleasing aroma.

Mordred: Assassin! If you are here, then... Assassin is right.

Meanwhile, Khiry then made it to the door & as he is proceeding to open it...............

((DONE! MORDRED WILL NOW HAVE HER REMATCH WITH SEMIRAMIS WHILE KHIRY IS ABOUT TO SEE HIS OPPONENT. WHO WILL HE FACE? WHICH ARCHER HAS SABER WARNED KHIRY ABOUT? UNTIL THEN, STAY SHOCKING!!))
