The Crumbling World

"Sure... I accept it... But I have one condition. After this war if you want to stay- That is if we win the war in the first place... I won't really need you after all this, you know... The only reason I summoned you was because I simply was lacking the power to put up a fight against entities like the ones you and I saw yesterday, and that's it."

Star slightly tilts his head as he listens to Bazett;

"So just so you know if I ever feel like that you will betray me and my trust, it all will be over for you. You will always be near me even after this war ends. You won't wander around by yourself without me being present. Because the truth is, I don't trust you, but I will try to. So don't make any stupid mistakes."

Star stands tall with crossed arms as he speaks back to Bazett;

"Fine. I accept your condition... Suits by me. So do we have a deal now?" 

Star, extends his arm towards Bazett for a simple handshake. Bazett responds with a soft smile and speaks as she clasps his hand;

"Deal."

After they both stop with the handshaking, Bazett speaks once more while she has a hint of a little smirk on her face;

"Now... You can start fulfilling your part of the deal by telling me everything you can about yourself. How about that?"

"Hah... You need to be more specific about what you want to learn about me for that. "

Bazett sighs and speaks back as she sits on the small sofa;

"Fine then... Let's start with... The way you are dressed actually... Why that stupid mask? The way you are dressed... It's really modern if we were to compare you to the majority of other servants... Which era are you from really? Can you tell me about or does it exceed what you meant by 'useful stuff' about you?.."

As Bazett was asking her question to Star, He started looking away from Bazett as she was speaking. It appears that something else was picking his attention;

"Hey... Star! Are you even listening to m-"

"Wait... Stop."

Bazett raises her eyebrow as Star tells her to stop talking out of nowhere... Star starts looking around the house;

"What's wrong?"

"Something's not right... No... more specifically... We have company..."

Bazett gets up from the sofa and picks up her metal container laying next to it also, then swiftly straps it around her shoulder;

"How so... A servant?.."

Star softly nods

"I think..."

Star slowly nods as his mask faces the door in front of him. And he starts to walk to the door to leave the house;

"...Wait... Don't just go out-"

Star opens the door to the outside and looks around cautiously, he was acting a lot more serious compared to how he was acting when Bazett and he faced those two giants yesterday night. Bazett goes out too right after him and gets into her fighting stance. Star's guitar is still in his hands and he speaks in a loud voice;

"I know you're here... Stop hiding."

No one answers to Star's words, but he can still feel the other servant's presence down to the brim. Meanwhile Bazett starts to look around and see if there is any movement in order to find where the possible invader is hiding at. Star speaks once more in a loud voice and a mocking tone; 

"What now, too brave to stalk afraid to talk? Come out... Whoever you are... "

Just a little after he finishes his sentence, in a flash an red object comes straight at Star in super high speed, Star quickly dodges it with ease without even taking one step, but then just as he dodges it, the object changes it rotation back to Star midair, this thing was a spear;

"?!"

Before it reached Star, Bazett acts quickly and lands down a punch at the red spear with her mana infused hand. This makes the spear impale the ground. The contact the spear made with Bazett's hand pushed her back, making her slightly lose her balance. However if her hand wasn't enhanced with mana there at that moment, not only that she probably wouldn't be able to change the spears rotation by force but possibly all the bones in her hand would have been broken along with her arm.

Star and Bazett scanned their surroundings, searching for the attacker's whereabouts. Afterwards, in an instant the spear, on its own unimpaled itself from the ground, and went back to where it came from, to the woods which surrounded the small mansion. Star felt the urge to charge straight at the spear's destination, but then he remembered his master's situation and the need to conserve mana. He couldn't just rush in without a plan and start blasting with his guitar. So he forgot about it as Bazett spoke;

"Show yourself!"

Then finally the attacker reveales himself walking towards the duo. It was a man who had dark blue hair and was wearing some sort of tight latex suit which matched the color of his hair, carrying the same red spear. His eyes were completely black and had small red pupils with an crazed look on his face. Star got in front of Bazett in order to protect her and aimed the tip of his guitar at this man standing before them and spoke mockingly at him. Despite, this man nearly ending his life, he shows no fear or concern. In fact, the attack seems to have only amuse him;

"You've got an fancy spear there eh? Can't say the same thing about the suit though... Makes it easier to see how small the 'tool' is what do you think?"

As the man continued to slowly get closer, Bazett was scanning this guy from head to toe... Dark blue hair... Red spear... It all felt... familiar to her. Then she noticed the man's earrings as well... Which just snapped something inside her. Her eyes became wide open as the realization started to hit her, she was shocked completely speechless. Star continued to speak at the guy in blue suit but he didn't answer once. He just intimidatingly continued to come closer;

"Which I think is weird... For you to roll up on us, me specifically, like this with that pathetic spear you've got thinking you are the hot shit, you should be either be nuts or have crazy big balls... But, I think all 3 of us including you knows the deal here..."

And once more, the nameless attacker remains silent in the face of Star taunting him;

"Not so much of an talker I see... Well then... That just makes it less fun for me..."

Star started to chuckle to himself and spoke back at Bazett who still can't grasp what's happening;

"Ay Master... I'll make you eat those words you said about me before..."

Star throws his guitar into the air, where it begins to spin rapidly. As it spins the guitar's body begins to burn, he quickly grasps it again before it falls down to the ground, from its fretboard. Following this, the right side of Star's guitar morphs into a sharp edge, giving the entire instrument the appearance of an axe. The guitar itself was ablaze, radiating its warmth and brightness all around...

He bends his knees a bit and places the guitars body now new head on the ground behind him as he holds it from its fretboard now new handle, gets into an tail stance as if it's an long sword he is holding, ready to launch straight at the enemy... He starts to chuckle to himself as the attacker doesn't back down;

"Its been a while since I've done this, haven't it?"

A brief moment of utter silence ensues, before the battle commences...
