Kiritsugu wondered as he, his wife, and his assistant were fleeing from the army his servant was holding off how the army was even formed without anyone noticing. He was brought out of his thoughts by a drake bursting through the wall beside them. The fiend turned to face them only to be met by a rain of bullets courtesy of Kiritsugu and Maiya. The bullets bounced of his scales, but soon cracks appeared on his natural armor. The rounds eventually penetrated and the fiend fell to the ground lifelessly.
The three continued to move, not noticing the beast dissolve into dozens of colorful orbs. The would soon be interrupted again when a several winged, one-eyed creatures burst through the window. Kiritsugu and Maiya were quick to open fire and luckily for them, these fiends didn't have skin as tough as the drake. Most of the fiends fell to the ground, but one managed to avoid the rounds. It flapped it's wings and soon the floor in front of it and the three caught fire.
The three dove to whatever cover they could to avoid the flames. The fiend prepared to cast another spell only to be interrupted by a silver bird flying towards it. The bird hit the fiend face first and turned into a mass of wires that quickly wrapped themselves around it.
Irisviel held out her hand, controlling the wires, and closed her hand. The wires tightened, slowing digging into the fiend's flesh. Soon the wires had cut into the fiend's brain, and shortly after, the fiend died, dissolving into pyreflies, just like all the others before it. They only spared the sight a few moments before continuing their escape.
Outside the castle, Saber was cutting through the army of fiends without showing any signs of stopping. Cutting down at least a single monster with each attack, the army seemed to be getting smaller. But as Saber killed his way from one end of the army to the other, he turned around, and saw that the army wasn't any smaller.
A drake that had reformed behind him saw an opening and lept at his back. It bit into his neck and dug it's claws into his back, while the smaller hound-like fiends swarmed at him from the front intent on tearing him to shreds. Saber grabbed the drake on his back by the neck and slammed the fiend into the pack of approaching hounds. The fiends were immediately crushed and killed by the attack. The drake wasn't so lucky.
Grabbing the creature by the tail, Saber began to use the drake as a make-shift flail, smashing away any fiends that got to close. It went on pretty well, with the fiends being sent flying in the air. But it didn't last long as a Yojimbo threw three knives at Saber, who responded by tossing the unfortunate drake to intercept the knives.
It didn't work as Saber thought it would. Sure, the drake hit the knives, but the knives didn't stop. He turned his sight away from the knives the moment he threw the drake, sure that it would work, and so while he was bust holding a drakes head and holding a bayonet at it's throat prepared to decapitate it as dogs bit on his back the three knives nailed him in the back, incidentally punching through the dogs.
Saber flinched from the wound and in doing so moved his bayonet wielding hand in a way that it slit the drake's throat. He fell to one knee, wondering why those three knives caused him more pain than getting shot. But before he could get up, an Iron Giant was in front of him, with a mace proportionate to his size raised. Saber drew a bayonet from nowhere and stabbed the giant in the knee. The giant flinched, Saber stood. He ran away as the hilt of the bayonet starting releasing red smoke. It exploded, destroying the giant and nearby fiends.
The fight was far from over.
Saber was tackled by Yojimbo's misshapen hound. He responded by stabbing it in the face. It didn't flinch. Red smoke appeared. Saber ran. Daigoro followed. The hound exploded into a bloody mist. Saber lost large chunks of flesh. Neither of them stayed that way.
Gilgamesh had to admit, the beast was tougher than he had expected. Of course he this was not admitting that he was outmatched, only that he had underestimated. But it was only natural of course. Who can outmatch the king, and when your at the top, it doesn't really matter how strong your opponent is. You will still win.
Weapon after weapon pelted the Aeon as it chased after Vimana. They either bounced of it's skin or exploded leaving marks on it. Neither of these deterred Bahamut as it fired another volley of lasers at the Servant. And his master who was also on the flying machine. Weapons from the Gate of Babylon emerged to intercept. The ensuing collision resulted in a spectacular light show to anyone who could see it.
Which, unfortunately for Kotomine Risei, was everybody within a hundred meters to a kilometer from the fight. Anybody withing the hundred meter radius were either eaten or gonna be eaten by the grounded fiends, or die from the sheer awesomeness(and force and heat) of what appeared to be a really impressive display of pyrotechnics.
Even more unfortunate for Risei, and anybody who actually cared about keeping the war a secret and collateral damages(All the masters sans Uryuu), Gilgamesh move Vimana down towards to ground and the Dragon God followed, the beginnings of a Mega Flare in his mouth. This would end as anyone could predict. Bahamut fired, Gilgamesh dodged, and the Mega Flare killed everything else within 500 meters of the blast.
And apparently, killing people en masse was one way to get Gilgamesh even a bit angry. He displayed this by actually manually deciding which Noble Phantasms to shoot at Bahamut instead of just shooting out whatever was closest to the exits he created. The next volley included Ascalon, Balmung, and several other dragon slaying weapons. "Mongrel! How dare you kill my subjects! Nobody is allowed to kill them but me!" And that was basically the whole reason why Gilgamesh was not cool with the mass slaughter.
Bahamut responded to the words and the weapons the only way it could. By roaring and firing more lasers. Gilgamesh didn't bother directing his weapons to intercept the blast, settling for simply dodging them, which of course led to the lasers destroying something or someone else. The Phantasms eventually struck their target. They either exploded on impact or sunk into the dragon god and then exploded. But despite the considerable damage done, Bahamut wasn't finished.
But before he could continue his assault, chains came out of golden ripples and quickly bound him. The chains named after Gilgamesh's only friend held. Bahamut struggled to no avail. Gilgamesh turned Vimana to face him. The Aeon could not move and was helpless when Gilgamesh fired his treasures. He endured the barrage for at least a minute, but eventually, enough dragon slaying weapons, among other legendary weapons struck, and Bahamut faded.
Gilgamesh turned Vimana in direction to where the Tohsaka household was. Keyword 'was'. Bahamut's Mega Flare did not discriminate. Tokiomi was internally weeping at the loss of his home, but he didn't let it show. After all, he had to retain an image infront of the King. And it wouldn't do well for him to display sadness at what Gilgamesh would consider a trivial loss.
"I expect you can provide decent lodgings for the both of us after this Tokiomi." Gilgamesh's words snapped Tokiomi out of his thoughts quickly. He nodded which seemed to be enough for the Golden King. Tokiomi didn't really know if he could, but he knew that the only way to stay alive at this point was to please the King. An angry Gilgamesh usually leads to people dying. And of course Tokiomi knows, that he will die when he's killed.
Unfortunately for him, he would have to deal with several beings that aren't so fragile. And even more unfortunate, the battle Gilgamesh had just won had actually aided their enemy.
The two saw it. Thousands of pyreflies floating away. Most scattered, moving to parts where neither of the two could see them. But a couple hundred or so moved together in front of them. Bahamut was reforming. The legs were the first to be formed. The head followed. Gilgamesh stared at the reforming Aeon with anger.
"Mongrel, I commanded you to die." The Gate of Babylon opened once more. "I even granted you the honor of my assistance with that task." Weapons started poking out of the golden portals. "And this is how you repay my generosity? By failing ME!" The weapons started raining down on the still reforming beast. Bahamut roared as it's developing body was torn apart by the storm of weapons. It attempted to fight back, firing off more lasers only for Gilgamesh to quickly draw a mirror from his treasury and with it deflected the beams. "Even now, you seek to defy me." Gilgamesh reached into his treasury and pulled out a sword. "It appears that direct intervention is necessary." He aimed aimed the point of the sword at Bahamut. "As-" The blade glowed white "-CALON!"
The blade Ascalon, once wielded by Saint George to slay a dragon was an interesting weapon. Despite being a blade, it's main function was to grant it's wielder invincibility from harm. But, by reversing this effect, it turns into a blade that could pierce anything. Needless to say, Gilgamesh had it on attack mode. But he was not done. He pointed the tip of the weapon at Bahamut, who was reforming once again, and from the blade several lance-like projectiles of light emerged and impaled the aeon.
Interfectum Dracones: Dragon Slayer. An anti-unit noble phantasm generated by the sword's interaction with it's original wielder, and his nature as a dragon slayer. It basically gave the sword a damage bonus against dragons. And as it would happen, Bahamut was a dragon god. It faded once more, the pyreflies that formed it scattering, no longer attempting to reform.
The King was satisfied. He returned Ascalon to his treasury and turned to ask Tokiomi the location of their new lodgings. But before he could speak, he, and his master saw multiple things happen. Several blocks were suddenly encased in ice. Several massive bolts of lightning struck part of the city, causing massive damage. Large explosions in the forest. Multi-colored beams colliding in midair, some missing and hitting nearby building, demolishing them.
Seeing the destruction, and wondering how the hell they were gonna cover this up, Tokiomi turned to Gilgamesh. "King of Heroes, before you stands those that would attempt to take what is rightfully yours. I humbly request that you wipe them from this earth." Gilgamesh didn't even glance at his master.
"Request denied. Tokiomi, where do we stay?" The mongrels could wait. He could easily deal with them if he bothered, and there were more important things at the moment. Namely acquiring lodgings fit for a king, namely him.
Tokiomi knew that going against the King was tantamount to suicide. He pointed at the direction of the church. He would need to speak to Risei about these events. And try to convince the Mage Association not to interfere. As Vimana flew he could hear the destruction. Buildings collapsing, the thunder that followed the lightning, and the explosions that occurred in the forest.
Gilgamesh could hear them too, if he wished. But such matters were below his notice. He would deal with these annoyances soon enough. Starting with that insufferable Assassin. The woman that had dared to humiliate him. A quick death was too much of a mercy for her. He would defeat her. He would break her, mentally and physically. He would make her his, in mind and body. And when she had submitted to him, he would use her for all that she was worth. And then he would cast her aside. And then she would die.
He would enjoy this. Even if she angered him, he could not deny her beauty. Such a shame it was wasted on an insolent bitch.
*** Omake : Alternate Servants - Assassin ***
As the smoke from the summoning circle cleared Kirei could see a small figure appear. When the smoke completely dissipated Kirei got a good look at his servant. And he was sure that this wasn't "The Old Man from the Mountain." For one thing, the Servant appeared to be a teenager.
He had short black hair and he wore a black vest, a white shirt under that, a red tie, and black pants. Overall, he looked like a teenage butler. He had a cigarette in his mouth. He looked at Kotomine and he did not like what he saw. Specifically, he didn't like the cross he was wearing.
"Of all the people who could have summoned me, why did it have to be a priest?" The boy sighed before taking a puff from his smoke. After exhaling some smoke he asked his summoner(he refused to acknowledge a priest as his master) "Are you Catholic?"
Confused Kotomine could only nod. His answer only seemed to piss the boy of even more.
"Great. It couldn't have been a protestant. Those I could get along with easily enough. But it had to be a Catholic." He began ranting. Soon his rant slipped into insulting God and at this Kotomine threw a trio of black keys at his servant. But before they could reach him, the blades stopped in midair. Kotomine could see them. Wires, so thin that they were almost invisible, holding the blades in midair. He could trace some to his servant's hands.
The boy stared at the blades and then to his master. His left index finger twitched and the blades were cut into multiple pieces. He grinned. "At least you won't be boring."
***Later***
"Mongrel. You dare gaze upon me? Know your place wor-" That was as far Gilgamesh got with his taunting before wires wrapped around his head and sliced the upper part off. The rest of his body fell and dissolved.
Kirei and Tokiomi could only stare in shock at the boy who had just killed Gilgamesh. Not only had he killed the Tohsaka servant, he had just ruined all of their plans. Needless to say, Tokiomi was not happy. And he showed it by opening the window to scold the boy. "You idiot. Didn't we make it clear that you were supposed to let him win? But, what could we expect from an immature bra- aargh!" He didn't take these things very well.
Kirei and Risei could only watch as Tokiomi was dismembered, disemboweled, decapitated, and bifurcated. As he watched his teacher in thaumaturgy get killed, Kirei deep down wished he could have at least ordered it instead of it being the result of his Servant getting annoyed.
***Later***
"Oh you have got to be fucking kidding me!" That was the boy's reaction to seeing just who Berserker was. Berserker grinned at seeing the boy and soon started to change shape. He turned from a man in a red coat and matching hat to girl wearing nun clothes.
Saber did not take this well. "What are ye doing demon? What in the name of the Father is this!?"
Berserker's grin didn't change. "Oh nothing. I just though the Angel of Death over here would be more confortable seeing me like this." He started laughing. Wires tore him apart. It didn't stop the laughter.
Lancer just stood there, wondering what the hell was going on as a hand emerged from the dismembered head of Berserker holding a black gun aimed at the kid. It fired. The kid's head exploded.
And so ended the run of Assassin, in life known as Walter Dornez in the Holy Grail War.
And Berserker was still laughing.
