Nexus/Grand Order (OC x Harem)

Chapter 3

As they are walking, the Director begins on muttering to herself. The black-haired could hear her muttering about the worst case on what would happen on Chaldea in a pessimistic feeling.

Roman decides to speak up from the communications, "Looks like the Director is talking to herself again. This could take a while." he said like saying it from someone who experienced this side of her.

"Does this happen often?" asked Nexus to Roman.

"Yeah, it always happens when she was working back to back." Roman answered, "Anyway, why don't you rest for a bit? It looks safe over there." he directed to where they were headed.

Mash nods in agreement, "I agree with you, Doctor. Senpai, would you like some rations?" she offered Nexus with packs of non-perishable meals.

"I appreciate that but how are you holding up?" he asked to her.

"Are you asking if I've been having any problems since I became a Servant?" she said questionably, "Well, for the most part. It's scary to fight, but I'm doing fine overall."

"I see...." he said knowingly wondering if she's feeling alright. He could see that she's doing fine as she said. But he wants to make sure so he asks her, "Are you sure that you're okay with me being your Master?"

"Of course. I think you might've been the best Master so far." she responded happily.

""Best Master", huh?" he mumbled to her response, "I don't think the "best" would never be a fitting title for me." he suddenly stops to himself as he could sense more enemies incoming. "Something's coming."

"You're right, I'm picking up something!" Dr. Roman said in shock, "Wait, this is-" before he could finish his sentence a silhouette comes up in front of them. It doesn't reveal on any specific details from the figure besides blackness. He could tell that this silhouette is no ordinary enemy at all. He could feel its power that exceeds than any normal mobs. The shadowy figure takes an appearance of a tall young woman with long hair and a slender physique wielding a sharp-pointed dagger attached to a long chain with a ring at the end. He could disengage it if nobody was there but not with the two people accompanying him and the doctor monitoring.

"What...is that?" Olga stammered terrified by looking at the shadow figure.

"A Servant is there!" Roman exclaimed. "Don't fight it, Nexus, Mash! It's too soon for you to fight a Servant!"

"Yeah, like the Doctor said. We should fall back!" Nexus said.

"Even so, we're cornered here. Mash, prepare for battle! It's a Servant, you can do something about it, right?" Olga said to Mash.

"Yes. I will do my best!" she acknowledged reluctantly as she prepares on engaging on the shadow figure as it dashes onto Mash. Mash guards herself on the figure on an impact. She could feel the impact pushing back at her as the figure comes behind her and Mash retaliates her attacks. The figure was quick and agile from her daggers forcing Mash to focus on guarding her consecutive, swift attacks. The lilac-haired girl's stamina is wearing off, she couldn't get herself to counter the spot for the figure's nimble movements.

"Mash, try to find a certain spot to counter." Nexus said to her.

"How am I supposed to know when, Senpai?" she asked keeping up her guard.

"There's an opening when you see it. You just need to get the right timing, okay?"

"Yes! Understood!" the lilac girl said decide to trust on his words as she tries to find some spot for an opening. The shadow then jumps above her aiming at her daggers downwards, she raises her shield up against it making a slight delay on the shadow's next move.
