Nicole

Scowling, Nicole summoned a harsh wind, trying to knock Madeline out of the air. The Artificial Intelligence deftly maneuvered through it, adapting easily to the attack.

I guess there's no other option.

Nicole leapt off her perch and took flight herself, unleashing a tremendous flame to propel herself forward, and soon began gaining on her foe. Intending to knock Madeline out of the air, she began to take careful aim, preparing to unleash a devastating attack.

Nicholas Hemingway, Assassin/Berserker of Clubs

Another robot? What an annoyance... Still, guess that's his specialty.

"Tsk, tsk. Cody." Nick's taunting voice echoed around the battlefield, seemingly coming from all directions. "Don't let your guaaard doooown!"

A stone golem began to emerge from the ground in the center of their formation, wedging its way in between Cody and the robot. It drew its arm back to strike as the boy turned, startled, gun held aloft.

Then, the stone seemed to liquefy, losing its substance, as Cody's first two bullets had no effect at all.

"What do you think you're doing, Cody, trying to shoot water?"

The golem began to morph again, this time gaining a flickering quality, and began to glow.

"Op, lightning now. Better run!"

Henri

Henri's eyes were transfixed by the key in front of him.  He closed his eyes, expecting to hear some whisper of Ruler's voice, but there was nothing.  Only him and his own thoughts.

Arash's goal... my goal... it was to bring peace to everyone.  Even if we end the Sanctum War, that's... impossible.  But with omnipotence... it might be.

Henri knew that time and time again, those who had hoped to enact grand change with the Key failed.  Time and time again, their plans were swallowed up in Ruler's schemes.  But with the Key right in front of him, rightfully granted to him, he could see the possibilities stretching forward.  The power to punish those who harmed others, to reward those who ended wars, to preside over a new utopia.  The power to form a new family, of his friends, and Cody, who still had a slim chance of being something more.

Henri shook his head and began to point his trident, crackling with lightning, at his key.

Suddenly, a barrage of elemental spells were fired at him, from one of the summoned corpses.  Henri redirected his trident toward the spells, but in the process, it caught on the Sanctum Key.  A burst of mana, the creation of a circuit, perhaps aided by his earlier line of thinking, and he was wielding the Sanctum Key.  A golden forcefield appeared in front of him, and the elemental spells were deflected, tunneling into Nicole's so-called Caster with double their original force.  Caster was defeated.

Henri tried to let go of the key, but his hands moved slowly, as if they were straining against his will.

Jack Blair

"Oh, Sorry." He snapped out of his stupor, "Let me get that." He placed his hands over her shoulder and the wound began to heal, "It should be alright in a few minutes. Your leg will be a little more difficult."

Robin

The healing nearly complete, Robin turned to the nearest enemies he could take care of. Looking at the Saber's remaining, Robin got up from the position, trying his best to ignore what little was left of Avery's body. He sprinted at the Saber, the enchantment still fueling his energy.

As he reached the first, which looked at him, surprised, Robin cut it down before turning to the next. He let loose a violent attack, slashing at the Saber. Side, backhand, overhead, side, side, overhead. The blade penetrated the Saber's side, sinking in deep before Robin realized that the Saber that he had killed was about to explode as well. Leaping away before the explosion went off, Robin found himself facing 2 warriors at once. He cut one, but the other slashed his non-sword arm. The cut wasn't deep, but it burned all the same. Robin killed the being, sprinting down the Saber lines as he narrowly dodged the first of the four explosions. The rest of the explosions followed, and Robin presumed it safe to continue fighting, slashing down a Saber an then retreating from the explosion.

He continued to fight this way, his blade becoming a blur of fire and glinting metal as he cut down Saber after Saber, sending gusts of wind to carry the dead Sabers into the ranks, although it didn't seem to do much to the Sabers.

Hera

"Scutum!" Hera shouted quickly as Will's body began to glow. She dashed madly towards wherever there wasn't the sound of fighting, doing her best to ignore the combined pain of a wounded shoulder and leg. An explosion behind her sent her forward causing her to crash into Jack.

"OW!"Hera exclaimed as she landed in the snow.
