Paris. France

"I sense a foreign energy, follow me, he's over there," said Raiden as he started to fly, following behind him superman said "he's observing the Eiffel Tower…..How interesting" 

"looks like we got a real thinker here," said Raiden as he flew down to face him, one look and he could sense the menacing aura that he displayed, sitting on a bench, he was tall and had a lean build, but it was muscular as well, his face was ghostly pale opposite to his long dark hair, his blue eyes turned to look at Raiden and superman then with a sigh, he looked at them and said "I was fairly enjoying the view, this tower….it's truly a marvel of human creation"

"Enjoying the view of a world you are planning to destroy?" mocked Raiden, this in turn made Superman speak saying "You are oddly relaxed for someone that's surrounded" 

"Yes, I am, I'm glad you evacuated most people, because of you, I got to enjoy this view for myself, first I'd like to start by apologizing to Raiden, Ultraman's attack was not by my order, he acted on his own, to you I might be a villain, but I have at least the dignity not to attack someone who just had given birth to life" spoke Neil Queen, he then stood up and turned to Superman 

"My Alias was Ulysses, that was the name Kal-El knew me with, Clark Kent was my first nemesis, and remains my greatest friend… unfortunately, circumstances have led us apart friend" Nile Quinn stood up, and then opened his his arms wide as his aura started to flare up as his clothes changed, he was now wearing a black bodysuit, Raiden and Superman both prepared for the battle. Suddenly, Quinn brought out a small object and threw it on the ground. Green gas began to emerge, enveloping the entire area

Raiden mocked him, saying, "Seriously? A smoke grenade? Against someone like me?" He then used wind magic to push the smoke away, As he did, he looked to his right and saw Superman face-down on the ground. Shocked, he rushed to him, saying, "Superman? Superman, Oh you've got to be fucking kidding me!?"

Quinn grinned as he started to walk slowly, saying, "I've known this man all my life. In fact, I have fought him hundreds of times, in hundreds of variations. I know him better than he knows himself. So, of course, I also know his weakness. However, since he is my friend, I cannot bear to kill him. Instead, I used this toxin gas infused with kryptonite to simply knock him out. Superman will be unconscious for around five hours. You cannot rely on him anymore. This battle is between you and me, my world and your world"

Raiden smiled as he looked at Neil, saying, "You're under a misunderstanding, While, yes, having him in this battle would have helped significantly, I'm still confident that I can take you on alone."

Neil took a battle stance and said, "Yes, I know. I know you are confident. I know your abilities. That's exactly why I fear you. That's exactly why he fears you. That's exactly why you are a target for elimination."

Raiden was curious. He knew who "he" was, but he didn't want to ask directly. Instead, he asked another question. "Neil, you are interesting. Most of the others had some sort of evil goal. They wanted to destroy Earth, take something from Earth, enslave Earth, either control or death. But you, you are different. Your only target seems to be me. Yet you have gathered an army to break down Earth, to destroy Earth, just to get to me. Isn't that going too far?"

Neil nodded, acknowledging that his plan was excessive. But he knew it was the only solution to defeat a man like Raiden, a man he considered a god. "You severely underestimate yourself, Raiden Kagawa. I could not do more, but if I could, I would have. You are too powerful, too strong to be left alive."

Raiden simply smiled and said, "You're making me blush, But still….I don't know why you. Tell me your story Neil, Why you!?" Raiden then narrowed his eyes and said "You keep saying 'my world' this and that. I heard from a little bird that your world was destroyed. It's unfortunate, and I do feel bad for you…..But, What do you gain from destroying ours?" He struck a nerve, and Neil's eyes widened in reaction. Knowing this was rare, Raiden simply waited for the man to speak, and certainly, he did

"My parents….. they were scientists, and they meddled with the Fourth Dimension and caused my world to end, I survived somehow, someway, my body took in the energy from the Fourth Dimension granting me powers but in exchange my world died, for years I blame myself, I became a scientist like my parents and sought salvation. After years of work, hundreds of thousands of hours of research, and I found it, The only way to bring back my world wasn't science, rather, it was magic, I needed to sacrifice two million lives to a being known as Empty Hand, a demonic ritual of some sort"

"In my position, most people wouldn't take the risk, but I did. I went to another world and started my plan, Over the years I met, Clark, and I befriended him for years, I was….The best man at his wedding, he even named me the godfather of his son, but the empty hole deep inside stayed, I need salvation, and so the plan resumed….And I…. killed him, he trusted me with everything, so naturally I knew of all his weaknesses, and strengths, and using that against him, I won, I then sacrificed the metropolis and a bunch of neighboring cities, to summon the demonic entity, But in the end, it amounted to nothing, The two million lives only summoned Empty Hand; They did not restore my world. However, Empty Hand was amused and impressed, and as such, he recruited me, in exchange for killing you he'll restore my world"

"I have visited many alternate Earths, planning for this mission, trying to find allies. In the end, I realized the Crime Syndicate was the only group I could truly control. Removing their Ultraman was no problem for me, and now we are here, Are you satisfied, Raiden Kagawa" 

As Neil finished speaking, Raiden had a look of mostly disappointment in him, as he said "I expected…..more, a better reason than this, I can tell a smart man when I see one, Neil, and you are smart, but you are also delusional, you know damn well, Empty hand Won't restore your world, but you seek the salvation, crave it so much, that you are willing to do anything for it, even when you know it's not going to work" 

"I'm not here to be evaluated by you physiologically" spoke Neil, this made Raiden nod as he said, "Indeed, you are correct, then let us end this, Throne of Heroes!" 

"Looks like we're starting this," said Neil, to which Raiden, now blazing in the sun's radiance, as his newly transformed dark skin shone brightly while he looked down on his enemy

"No, We are ending this! 

Ramesseum Tentyris"

The world started to change as Neil found himself in the endless desert that is Ozymandias's Noble Phantasm 

"Paris is too pretty to destroy, now, Die" As Raiden spoke, hundreds of pyramids started to fall on Neil, who flew away and dodged most of them while destroying the rest using energy beams, then he looked at Raiden and said "While this was incredibly impressive, and while I do fear you, I'm here to win" 

Then suddenly his body started to shine brightly as energy started to flow from Ozymandias' Reality marble toward Neil, eventually, enough energy was drained so fast that the reality marble broke, and Raiden forced to revert back to his normal form looked at Neil and said 

"How did you…?" before Raiden could finish, Neil spoke, "I've studied everything about you, And I've got a counter to all your transformations!" 

Raiden narrowed his eyes, but still, he persisted "Throne of heroes" His figure changed Again, Blonde hair, and shining Armor, it was Arthur's turn, the golden sword in hand shone as Raiden changed the battle to a close-quarter combat 

Neil parried the sword's strikes with his hands, as for the energy surrounding it, he kept on absorbing it, Raiden stepped back a bit, and then used Mana burst to unleash a beam of golden energy on Neil, whilst the energy did reach Neil, it was mostly all absorbed 

While Neil was getting confident in his ability to defeat Raiden, the latter was instead thinking of another solution (I can try and Overwhelm him with Arthur's noble phantasm, but what if he absorbs it too, I'm merely giving him energy while losing mine in turn, I don't want to transform to an entirely new servant either, it takes a lot of Mana than I would by transforming to a bond 10 servant, and I know for a fact, Neil isn't my only enemy today, Fine, Physical it is)

"Throne of Heroes" once Again Raiden transformed, but this time, it was one of the only servants in his bond 10 Arsenal that didn't rely on unleashing Mana or using some sort of ability 

"RAAAWR" 

The scream resounded all around the empty streets of Paris, as Raiden, in his Berserker Heracles, with his massive short sword in hand, Raiden attacked, turning the battle into a physical contest, Raiden's short sword danced in the battlefield, trying to crack Neil's defenses, but he was relentless, his physical strength wasn't to be underestimated, as well as the energy bursts he would suddenly release, sending Raiden flying 

And since Raiden couldn't fly in this form, Neil would sometimes go into the skies and rain down on him with an endless barrage of beams

Using his last resort, Raiden jumped in the air and struck him with the sword, initiating the first strike in nine lives, one, two, three, four, five, six, and seven strikes yet Neil's shield of energy could only be cracked, the eight one destroyed it, and the ninth strike managed to get stuck into Neil's shoulder, cutting him few centimeters deep, his body was unreal, and since Raiden was defenseless, Neil placed his hand on his stomach, and then unleashed a massive energy beam that destroyed Raiden's upper half 

"That blast was courtesy of the energy you provided me earlier" 

Raiden's body restored itself as God Hand took effect, he once again returned to his normal form as he thought (I was hoping I'd be able to defeat him with only my own strength, but this man….It's almost like his designed to face me, fine then, I was hoping I wouldn't have to do this but) 

"Throne of Heroes" (Go on System, over and over again, you've never failed me, and you won't start now) 

("Servant, Lancer. Enkidu. Your call has summoned me.

Please use me as you wish, Master")
