Chapter 13: Steel
Danny smiled as Volumen Hydrargyrum held the onslaught dispensed by the Calico M950.
Kerry's second favourite gun was dangerous against normal human because of its high firepower and excellent amout of bullets inside the cylinders.
An impressive gun... only for those who used it.
The ones preyed by this death machine it was a nightmare to avoid or defend against.
While the young man appreciated the astonishing defense given by the Kayneth's Mystic Code, he knew that it wasn't invicible.
A well placed Origin bullet would have quite well not only pierced the mercury-made Code but also killed its current owner in a matter of hours if not stabilised.
Two bombs, one a flasbang and the other a smoke grenade, were activated immediately as to stun temporarely the professional assassin.
Danny sprinted madly away from the small area and tried to find somewhere to hide away for few hours so he could plan a proper counterattack.
During his dash, he noticed a small wire on the ground connecting from the wall to a trashcan and jumped as to dodge it.
The distinct lack of footsteps approaching from behind was the opposite of reassuring and the volley of bullets aiming at him from the roofs proved him right.
Soon the familiar sound of a rocket being launched from a bazooka made him turn in the closest alley but the young man was unable to avoid being pushed away from the close explosion.
His heart was beating panicked as the hunt was still going.
Danny's eyes finally settled on the big building that was easy to approach from where he was.
An old warehouse, possibly empty. A good place to prepare a quick ambush.
Kiritsuko finished loading the machinegun and prepared an Origin Bullet in the Contender's single chamber.
Her opponent's surprising acumen to survive in the worst situations was starting to grate in her already tired nerves.
She proceeded to advance in the warehouse her prey had ran into and started to think of any possible backdoor how to surprise him from any trap set against her direct attack.
Hidden away from the sight by several crates was a small ladder that led to the upper levels of the massive building and Kerry knew it was the backdoor she needed in that moment.
Silently, she stepped into the main room of the warehouse and tried to individuate Danny in the darkness but soon found it to be a difficult task.
Thankfully she saw a small switch in the corner near her and so she turned the light on.
Her target was aiming straight at her with an assault rifle, an Howa Type 89.
"Time Alter - Triple Accel" As her body started to move three times faster, the woman dodged the first volley of the machine of death and reached the closest cover to her position, four boxes.
"You should surrender, Dempsey." She said loud enough for her target to hear. "You are not going to gain anything from prolonging your remaining few days of life."
Several bullets crashed ineffectively on the boxed. "Go to hell, Emiya."
SIghing Kiritsuko held both the Contender and the M950 ready for the stunt she had planned to finish this annoying chase.
"Time Alter - Squad Accel" She held back a grunt of pain as her Circuits burned at the drain from the advanced form of her Magecraft.
With an impressive jump forward, the quickier bullets of the Calico managed to hit some red barrels close to her target and in mere instants an explosion echoed in the almost empty building.
She stared blankly at the wounded body of the young man as part of the shrapnel had managed to cut deeply in his sides and the remaining of a small column close to the explosion now holding her target down for her to finish off.
"You should have accepted surrender when possible, Master of Caster. Yet I think this is a fit end for a formidable enemy like you."
Danny smiled as blood poured freely from his mouth. "H-hehe.. trying to compliment your foe? A-Are you high, Kerry?"
She sighed as she took aim with the Contender, ready to finish one of the last Masters AND the man that was courting her wife.
"W-Wait!" He exclaimed and she thought he was going to beg for his life to be spared.
Yet the next words stirred confusion in her focused mind. "C-Can you take the shot one step closer?"
The rambling of a dying man it was and she didn't have a major reason to not comply.
So calmly she jumped off from the boxes... and pulled some strings on the ground, several pins hanging at the loose end.
"Time Alter - Triple Accel!" Desperation gripped her usually rational brain and in an attempt to launch herself away from the explosives' radius, she failed to account the strenght of so many grenades.
As the bombs exploded the force of the explosion pushed the woman's body, launching it to the roof and then landing on the floor where was Danny with a satisfying crunch.
Danny's mind was staring to get foggy as he was losing too much blood.
Yet, in the midst of the dreadful situation, the young man continued to smile like a dumbass.
He, a simple human, had managed to beat the genderbent version of the Magus Killer (with pure luck!).
As his eyelids started to close because of the tiring predicament, he barely registered several people entering the damaged building.
One of them gasped loudly, sounding quite familiar, but the last thing Danny remembered was white covering his vision.
Omake Gil-ko Golden Tour Pt.2! Gil loves Movies(1of3)!
If there was something Gilgamesh had truly wanted to see were those 'movies' that the Grail had given her information about.
Even her semi-omniscient mind was able to truly describe properly how those 'moving pictures' actually worked and so here she was, in front of the Fuyuki's only cinema.
The movie in question was located in an imaginary space scenario with an Empire trying to deal with a rabble of commoners.
Once she had forwarded the address of her 'servant' for him to pay her ticket later, Gil-ko finally sat in the quiet and barely filled 'projection room'.
She had bought some 'popcorns' as a snack to eat during the spectacle.
It started with some music as a blue text described the pre-plot part of the film.
It was boring, to say the least, as she had paid for some immediate action to see.
Not even few minutes later and she was quietly forced to eat back her previous comments.
She eyed with curiousity how the 'villain' of this story called 'Vader' managed to ruthlessly disband the feeble defense and managed to capture the leader of those rebels.
His face was well hidden by the full black suit but the King of Heroes was certain this individual wasn't truly human and more like one of those homunculi-like beings that were called 'robots' because of its weird breathing.
The movie continued by showing the supposed 'hero' of the tale, a young commoner that should barely be relevant to an important story like the one she had thought should have potrayed.
As two hours passed, Gil-ko left the cinema with mixed emotions.
The movie had quickly shown more characters, important and not, and followed a curious plotline she had found amusing to say the least.
Yet the Servant had disliked how this 'Skywalker' had won the battle by sheer, dumb luck.
What a disappointment, she had thought, how was she supposed to enjoy things like this?
But as she walked out of the 'cinema', some of the spectators whispered about the 'sequel' being much better, with more close fights and with a major twist.
...Maybe.
AN
Boom goes the Kerry!
Somebody died? Maybe, Maybe not.
Next chapter will have the aftermath of the battle!
P.S. I wonder why nobody had thought of making a movie about Gilgamesh..
Review Q&A!
BlueXtreme: I'm currently being stared down by my own OC because I *laugh nervously* forgot about enchantments..
Azrael-Von-Gruber: So much lewd..!
merendinoemiliano: Thank you!
eNervFlinC: I hope you didn't meant 'Future Husband' about Illya...
MWkillkenny84: Actually if you study Maiya Hisau's profile you might discover that she has a son. And he's one of the Masters in Fate/Strange Fake.
Guest Q: In my defence, I think it was a legitimate action about Kerry's cheating in Canon. I always hated seeing those scenes being left unaccounted in the end.
Fenrir-kun: In a fair fight (or at least as much fair as possible for Kerry), Kiri wins all the day. But Danny has seen Battle Tendencies and know how to win when terribly outmatched in terms of power.
