Elegantly written battle, Kieran. I feel like Jeanne's magic resistance and/or sainthood should provide some measure of protection against magically-created Hydra venom, in the same way it protects you from things like magically created wind or fire (because the physics would imply those would still work, but they don't), but I guess that's "you didn't instantly die, be happy".
Ranma, your battle has your classic level of attention to detail and amusingly described imbalance. I thought Semiramis' summon and transform the air to poison abilities were limited to the domain of the Hanging Gardens, but if she didn't have those, you wouldn't have a fight here at all. Guess it's going to be even stronger there. I'm not entirely sure how I feel about so many Servants swearing liberally at being kicked around by giant mechs, it feels a bit out of character for Semiramis. Avicebron, Vlad, sure. Emiya, Mordred, MHXX, if that happened for some reason, sure. The rest feel too dignified (Chiron, Siegfried, Jeanne), or are not emotional in quite the right way (Jack, Astolfo, Fran), for that to feel right. And Scathach would probably destroy him, plus she doesn't really seem to get angry in fights.
And now we meet with Touko and Kairi as well, I guess. I'm not surprised that Jeanne is likely to intervene against Erik, a demigod throws the balance of the war out of whack.
