Chapter 72 - 71 Before The Battle (1/2)

The moment lightning struck in the beautiful New York evening Gray turned around and stood up with a speed that exceeded anyone else in the rooms. Caster shifted into her Spirit Form before materializing beside Gray. An unpleasant expression marred her brows.

”Rider! What's going on? Why is their a massive pool of energy appearing above New York?”.

A familiar sounding voice immediately came from Robin's phone, and the holographic image of Batman sitting in the Watchtower came up. Several members of the Justice League, as well as all the present members of the Team looked towards Gray who materialized Achilles' armor before turning towards the center of New York.

”Enemy Servant”.

All those present with the exclusion of Bekka, Gray and Caster shared a look of disturbance before Batman spoke once more.

”Is it the same one that did this to Batman?”.

Gray shook his head in denial before another bolt of lightning rained down from the now cloudy skies above. The once cloudless summer day had now become a dark and stormy sight for the denizens of the city, and the temperature dropped rapidly without the suns bright rays.

Caster seemed to be a little bit more acclimated to such an environment, however the absence of the sun disturbed the Goddess, whose two favorite things were Winter and Spring. Spring cannot happen without the sun and the wilting of life would occur without the sun.

Dozens of lightning bolts rained down from the heavens above, and Gray felt a hand wrap around his own once more before turning towards Kara. A reassuring smile marred her face and she nodded before kissing Gray's cheek.

”Go. We'll go help the innocents. You need to find the Servant behind this”.

Gray seemed surprised by how stern and mȧturė Kara's tone was before nodding and looking towards the rest of the Team.

”The Servant is most likely a Rider Class Servant. From the Servants we last met, only the Thunderous Emperor has the capabilities to execute such a large scale bombardment of lightning.... If Tesla was summoned, we'd have more to worry about then just a single city”.

Batman nodded through the holographic projector before turning to Archer with a frown.

”You're the criminal consultant right? Prove your worth”.

”Your wish is my command.... Master”.

Gray and the others could see the enemy of Sherlock Holmes vanishing into his Spirit Form and the golden robed figure of Dr Fate following the Servants movements even when in the Watchtower.

It seems after Batman almost immediately figured out his identity, he put Moriarty's movements under surveillance. Not an unwise decision that's for sure....

The Master of the Caster Servant of White turned towards Bekka and gave the woman a strange look. Kara felt a little bit weird seeing Gray look at the New God like that, before she shrugged her shoulders and nodded.

”I'll help. But only if you help me with something in return”.

”Name it”.

Gray instantly responded causing Bekka to smile and place her arms underneath her larger bust. Other than Caster whom the New God did not seem to care about, she had the biggest bust in the room. Even Cassie, while mȧturė for her age did not seem to reach the same level as her.

Her pretty blue eyes starred into Gray's before darting towards Kara for a moment and smiling.
