Russell glared at his in-law. The idiot just had to open his big mouth. "Shit, Rory we're... oh wait it's proto-Gil. Isn't that the bootleg version of him?"
The King of Kengan groaned. "Gin..." He called, earning the albino's attention. "Shut up..." He said. "And that's the original version of Gil."
"But this guy can only open ten gates at max and doesn't have Ea."
"Does this guy even look like he needs Ea?"
As the two argued about Gilgamesh, the servants can only watch at the two. Aife sighed in embarrassment. Oh dear, her master has a short fuse for his brother-in-law.
Arturia and Diarmuid watched the two fools kept on arguing before it somehow devolved into a shouting match. Iskandar laughed loudly, reminded of the old days of his army.
Irisviel giggled. It was like watching two married couples.
"Oh just shut up, you don't watch Fate/series."
"Hell yeah, I do. I even have action figures of every servant."
"Please, I got an entire room with posters and figures! I even have the autographs of every voice actor in the franchise."
Gilgamesh, growing tired of the two mongrels, opens a single portal. The duo failed to notice it until they saw a gigantic shadow looming over them.
They both looked up, only to see a gigantic sword crashing towards them.
"Oh, fuck all kinds of duck." Gin said as the sword tore the crane apart. Aife acted quickly and jumped towards Gilgamesh. Bring down her blade with such force that she sliced the air.
Dozens of ripples appeared as many weapons of distinct shape and size blocked her blow.
"Mongrel, who permitted you to stand up in the heavens?" His voice was cold and dreadful, yet also it held pride and authority.
Aife clicks her tongue before evading dozens of blades and hammers. "May your entrails provide me some entertainment."
Several ripples appeared, each spitting out weapons. Aife growled and used runes to counter some projectiles. Despite this, Aife was enjoying it. It was different, far different from her twin.
One blade disarmed her, and Gilgamesh smirked. Yet Aife did not seem bothered by the loss. A hammer made its way towards her head.
Time slowed to a crawl. Everybody knew how it was going to end. There was no way she could avoid it. Yet, once again, Aife will prove to them why she is Scathach's equal.
Fate Zero OSTs - The Battle Is To The Strong
She tilts her head. The hammer missed, but before it could completely pass her, Aife turns and grabs the weapon and swings to the incoming projectiles.
"Is she even truly a servant?" Diarmuid muttered in shock.
"Incredible, despite her frame, she's wielding a weapon that is twice her size." Iskandar muttered.
"Not only that but her speed, to dodge that attack with so little time, is already incredible but to catch the weapon mid-flight and use it." Arturia said. The memory of her knight with a similar skill sprouted. Her face became solemn before shaking it off.
"You dare... You dare lay your filthy hands on my treasure!?"
"Ora, ora, what's wrong, Archer? You don't like it? Then maybe you should have thought about it before setting your toys against me?"
"You dare insult your king!? Alright, mongrel, let's see how far your arrogance takes you?" Gilgamesh opens more portals. Aife calmly dismissed while counting the ripples like a child. An act that further enraged the King of Heroes.
"Fifteen... Thirty-two... Fifty..."
Gilgamesh launched the first weapon. Once more, Aife caught it in the nick of time, but the power behind it drags her.
She spins around and sends the weapon flying to an incoming projectile. She quickly dodges another and another while grabbing each new set. She used different combat forms and combinations in the field.
Ax and Spear, Spear and Hammer, Hammer and Ax. With an endless amount of forms, she mesmerized the rest of the servants. All their lives, they had met thousands of warriors on the battlefield. Some wielded bizarre weapons, techniques, but never had they see someone use so many weapons such as her.
Iskandar wondered how he could convince her to join his army. Arturia and Diarmuid thought if she was holding back in their fight.
They weren't the only ones who were in awe. Kayneth, who was busy defending against his assailants, prioritized Aife as the second threat to his victory. Karla had found someone to idolize. She was strong, but she knew that someone stronger was out there. But seeing Aife's combat was unbelievable.
She wanted to be as strong as her. Someone worthy of her fiance. Blaire was just happy that someone like Aife didn't exist in her home.
Two axes fell from the skies as Aife looks up. Rubble and smoke went up as the two weapons struck.
"It's over..." Waver said. Iskandar didn't, and neither did Arturia nor Diarmuid.
Gilgamesh examined carefully. Despite his hate for the woman, her skills were formidable. Not a second later, those two axes went straight for him, cutting the pole and the other grazing his cheek.
"Insolence... Such Insolence, I who stand above the heavens, and you would dare have trod upon the ground!? Mongrel! I will make certain your death will not be peaceful."
Aife watched as thousands of ripples appeared. Summoning her weapons, she went into a battle stance, ready to unleash her phantasms.
The sword that Gilgamesh unleashed onto Russell and Gin falls between them.
"Jeez, do you really need to drop something this big? Feels like you 're compensating or something." Russell said.
Before Gilgamesh could say anything, Gin appears out of nowhere and dropkicks the Demi-god. "GOOOAL!" He screamed as the servant of bow went flying.
"M-master!" Aife yelled in surprise. "Hey, mind if we take it from here? We wanna have a go with Goldilocks." Russell said.
Aife was going to refuse. But relent upon seeing his determined look. Unlike the masters of her fellow servants, he was... unique.
"Very well. However, should things go south, I will aid you."
Her master gives thumbs up. "Oh, and Aife..." Russell quickly took her hands, eyes filled with admiration. "THAT WAS AMAZING! I was so worried about you, but then you were so awesome when you did those moves, you've got to teach me those when we spar."
Aife was at a loss for words. For the first time, someone adored her skills in pure admiration. It was honest, enlighten. She can tell he wasn't comparing her to Scathach like most people she met.
With a blush, she nods. Russell smiled before heading to Gin, not noticing the look Aife was having. Her heart was beating so fast, but why? She wasn't in a battle. What could this mean?
The observers meanwhile took their time to assess the duo. One had the aura of a warrior while the other of a jester. Irisviel gasped when she saw Gin's red eyes.
"A homunculus..."
Russell equips his weapons as he went to Gin. "Need a hand?" He asked. Gin laughed. "Do you honestly think I need one?" Gin said.
"Your funeral." Russell walks away before taking a seat on rubble.

Gilgamesh growled as he stood up. His rage had taken on a new level. Gin calmly strides towards him while creating a cane made of steel with a book in hand. As the servant glared, the albino smirks grinned.
"I am ruled by irrational rulers. They both fight for space in my mind. While motivation is fleeting and fear is winning, the rulers are taking a stance." Dark substance oozed out his shadow. "The fear of defeat at the thought of losing is causing me to lose my mind. Slowly but surely I'm shrinking away and the Irrational Rulers are taking my place." The shadows rise to take different forms.
"I am ruled by irrational rulers and their names aren't said with pride. These Irrational Rulers are depression and anxiety and I am slowly losing my mind." Gin then closed his book. "Irrational Rulers by Willman."
The shadows all roared as they revealed themselves as unspeakable horrors. One was an enormous chunk of flesh and earth fused to make up its body. They almost puked when they saw its guts. The second one resembled a burnt insectoid corpse with stakes stabbed everywhere. Wisps of light circled the creature. The next one was, well... a skeleton covered by putrid mucus and other substances.
Yet all of them can tell these creatures have one thing in common, the stench of Death, Pain, and Agony.
"Rise my Monarchs, for its time to pay your debts." Gin slammed his cane. "Earth Monarch; Oris, Light Monarch; Ragnis, Water Monarch, Azuris." Each monster turned to him as if they were dogs. "BRING ME HIS HEAD!"
Gilgamesh quickly raises his weapons just as Ragnis rushed to him.
The King grunts as it dragged him across the battlefield. Noticing the looming shadow, he looks up to see Oris falling with his arm out to crush him. Ragnis had runoff. With haste, he unleashed his shields before the demon could reach him.
Dust and debris scattered everywhere. Oris groaned as he punched the obstacle. Beneath it was Gilgamesh. His eyes glared straight into their summoner. How dare this mongrel bring such abominations to his garden!
Azuris raised his arms as water rushed towards the prey. The king narrowly dodged it, but he realized it was acid, judging how the crate was melting.
The three monsters converged on him. But despite their numbers, Gilgamesh was easily fending them off. However, no matter how many or powerful his weapons have struck, the creatures did not die.
Russell watched the three creatures taking notes of each ability they displayed. He was taking inspiration for his version of monsters.
Aife was wondering what the man went through to summon such horrors. Their taint in the air was making her puke. Such disgusting things should never exist.
Diarmuid and Arturia suspected Gin for a necromancer or a dark mage. And both had their fair share of encounters. None of them were good.
Iskander frowned. This man was dangerous, to think he had mistaken him for a man who had a place in his army.
The masters of the holy grail wondered what form of magecraft he was using. Irisviel, however, was thinking about how can this homunculus perform such a feat?
To conjure such a creature in such a short time would require tremendous power.
Gin terrified both Blaire and Karla. Was he even human? How can someone human create or summon such abominations?
"What the fuck is this guy?" Karla asked. "I don't know but I'm glad that Russell's sister married him." Blaire said.
They watched as Archer kill the three, only for thousands to take their place.
"He can make more of those things!?" Waver yelled in horror.
"He doesn't look tired either." Arturia muttered.
Gilgamesh roared as his gate turned the creatures to minced meat. Gin mockingly clapped. "Bravo, bravo. Good show my friend. Now do it again..." Gin said as more creatures rose once more."There's a thousand more to go."
A chain wraps around one creature and decapitates it. "Minus one," Gilgamesh said, ready to fight.
"OH MY GOD THAT WAS COOL!" Russell yelled from a distance. "SUCK IT, GIN!"
The albino scoffed. "Dumbass..." He admitted this Gilgamesh was cool. The one he knew didn't lift a finger until Shirou came. But Gilgamesh used not only his gate. This one was a warrior. If only he tones down that prideful persona.
The demons parted, giving a path to Gin. "So the mongrel finally faces his king. Tell me, what do you desire? What drives you to defy your king?"
Gin hummed. Everyone waited for his answer. "I just want to see entertainment." He said, enjoying their looks.
"and this... all of this is just half-time entertainment."
"MONGREL!" Gilgamesh roared.
The demons with Gin charged as the Demi-god released his treasures. As soon as he was close, Gin swung his cane.
The king of Babylon blocks it, but to his horror, his treasure shatters. "I wouldn't do that. This cane hates anything with magic."
Enraged, Gilgamesh was attacking him with vigor. Each weapon shattered. It destroyed each one from the simple contact.
The fight was now ending, but before Gilgamesh or Gin could kill each other, Russell appears in between and blocks their weapons. His darklings blocked the ripples.
"Rory, what the hell?"
"You would dare interfere!?" Gilgamesh quickly blocks an attack from Russell before jumping a suitable distance. Russell then raises a watch to Gin. "Times up."
"You have got to be joking." Gin could not believe the audacity of this man.
"No, time's up, so let's go. The cops are coming."
"Do I look like a give a shit?"
"No, but it would bore us if you kill him now."
The two glared before Gin scoffed as he dismissed his demons. Russell turns to Gilgamesh. "Sorry, but this complete match will have to be postponed."
"Do you really believe you can command me, mongrel?"
"Do you honestly think you can kill me, oh great King of Baby." Russell mocked. "You may be a king, but you're not MY king. And I very much enjoy my freedom." He summoned Rebellion, and the blade was singing. The presence of three rulers was agitating it, but Gilgamesh was the source of its rage.
He didn't know why, but he wouldn't reveal that something wasn't right.
He then turns away, heading towards Aife, who was eyeing Gilgamesh. As much as he hated this man, just as the other one, Gilgamesh liked him as well. He hated the Gods for enslaving humans. But that doesn't mean he won't kill him.
"Mongrel tell me your name."
Russell turns his head. He wasn't sure whether to take up his old name or stick with his alias. But Gin said he didn't die, so he thought it would be impolite for his family.
"Rory Russell Marwolaeth, or as my enemies call me. Redgrave. Ciao~"
With that, he vanished, followed by Aife, who went into her spirit form. Gilgamesh glared at Gin, who puckered his lips while making a smooching noise.
Karla and Blaire also left, as the mission was a success. Now everyone would focus on them. Was it reckless? Yes, but it was part of their game.
As the group heads back to their hideout, Gin went to Russell. "Quick question, which world did you ended up in first?"
"A Baki crossover Kengan. You?"
"Believe or not, I ended up in Devil may Cry as Nero's twin. This would be my fourth world."
"Oh, you lucky bastard."
"I know, so how about you?"
Russell looked away. "This would be my first jump. The game wouldn't let me leave." Gin laughed. "Yeah, I heard Gamer is a lottery. You either get a good one or a shitty one."
"No shit. So which world did you go to before this?"
"After kicking Vergil's ass, I went to Game of Thrones, did some rewrites, then to the Boys and murdered Homeboy, finally Resident Evil, I got married with Al banged her so hard she couldn't walk and had to raise Eve."
Russell stopped. "YOU WHAT!?" Gin laughed. "Oh, your face is priceless."
"You're lying, there's no way you did the last one." Russell said. He refused to believe it.
Gin smirked before revealing a picture of him and Alcina at a wedding. Eveline on his right and Alcina's daughters on her left. And is that ETHAN!?
"Why is Ethan there!?"
"Well... I needed the best man for the wedding, so I made a deal with him. Bring his daughter back, and he'll be my best man."
"And Lady D was fine?"
"Well, it took a few convincing and a lot of rage sex. Which was totally awesome, btw."
"Unbelievable! And how did you even get Lady D to date you?"
"That my nemesis is a secret."
Russell groaned. "This is bullshit!" He yelled. Yes, he loved Suoh, but come on! It could have been anyone, but no, it had to be Gin! It ruined the whole thing, in his opinion. He already has his sister, damn it!
He should be angry at him for marrying another woman. But Gin died, so that meant they were no longer in-laws in the first place, right?
"Gin... How did you die?"
"Car accident."
"Was Viola w-with you?"
"...Yes." Gin's demeanor became solemn. "We were heading home, but the rain made the road slippery and..."
Russell took a deep breath. Knowing that his nephew just lost both of his parents was hard. "Do you think she's like us?"
"Maybe, but if she is, then she's going to kill me."
The two laughed as they pictured the woman running toward Gin with a belt. "Maybe you 're not so bad after all."
"You too, Rory, though don't think this is going to make up for what you did. You still owe me a Ferrari."
"Not before you pay me back."
"Oh please, with your salary, I'd be dead by then. Oh, that's right, I died! And I still don't see my damn car!"
"Oh fuck you, Gin!"
"No thanks, I'm married, remember?"
The three women giggled as they watched the two argue once more.
Phase 1 was complete. Now that they've assessed each target, phase two can begin. And that was killing Caster. But strangely, there were no reports of missing children.
Kariya was also missing, but maybe it was for the best. However, they did not know about the upcoming battle. For now, they can enjoy what little peace they have for, as the saying goes.
Calm before a Storm.
"So what do we do tomorrow morning?"
"Wanna watch netflix?"
"Netflix doesn't exist here!"
"Oh right."
An: Hi guys, sorry it took so long to update this. I had to make three versions of the fight. And that was on Gin's part.
Helkil, don't worry I'm already making drafts for a chapter focused on Suoh. Anyway, that's all for now, don't forget review, thank you.
