Why They Call It Falling
Chapter 3
"'Training'?"

Disclaimour (+ou is intended): I do not own Faris, Reina, blah, blah, blah...You get the picture. Or do you?

Special Message: Silent Hill 2 rules. I wrote this fic while listening to Reptile's theme from the Mortal Kombat movie, and it intrigued me to write another fight scene. So, enjoy the Faris/Gilgamesh battle, along with the many other things in Chapter 3.

"Unfortunately." He said with a sigh, sounding not the slightest bit pleased. "But you...how did you..what the hell?" Faris questioned, sounding confused, but happy at the same time. "It's a long story. Let's just say there is an exit in the X-Zone." He replied.

Faris seemed extremely overjoyed as she ran to the man (?) that was almost taller than her and gave him a hug. She could care less if he could hear her back sizzling from the burns from the battle. "Come one. Let's talk in the infirmary. My back must look like a burned chicken." She guided him to the infirmary, where a white mage and a chemist examined her back. Faris took off her burned shirt, leaving her in a bra and some shorts. The chemist gently rubbed some disinfectant alchohal on Faris's back, and the white mage used Cure3 on her. She put the burned shurt back on, and left the infirmary. In the hall, Gilgamesh told her everything she needs to know.

"I actually came to train you. X-Death has found his way out of the X-Zone, and blames you for his death, so he's going to come after you." Gilgamesh explained. "I have to train you in a new type of melee and magic fighting that I learned in the X-Zone. Throw a punch at me." Gilgamesh said. Faris drew her hand back and launched it at him. Gilgamesh threw a kick into the air, and his foot hit Faris's hand, and she unintentionally performed a backflip before landing on her back.

"Oww.." She said as Gilgamesh stood over her. "I also have something to teach you." She said. Gilgamesh looked down at her, his right eyebrow arched. "Oh, really? And what's that?" He said, slightly amused. Faris retracted her leg, then forced her foot into his groin. Gilgamesh flew off of her, holding his crotch. "Never stand over an angry woman without protection."

Faris ignored the burns on her back, even though they hurt like hell. She rolled backwards onto her feet, then ran at Gilgamesh. Gilgamesh stood up, and got ready for the next attack. As Faris nearly tackled him, Gilgamesh fell to the floor, and as Faris passed over him, he kicked her lower back. She flew into the throne room, and landed on her stomach, but she pushed herself up.

"See? I need to teach you great counters. X-Death will also use spells against you. Like this one." Gilgamesh blabbered as he pointed at a chair, and the chair exploded, its remains flew at Faris. He did the same to a wall, and she jumped over the chair to protect herself. "Try this one!" Faris said as she jumped onto the fireplace, and casted Fire2 on him. He grunted. "Are you only limited to level 2 spells?" He asked as the flames died down. "That's all I feel like using." She retorted, then flipped towards him.

Faris landed in a crouching position, and shot her feet out to hit his shin. Gilgamesh jumped to avoid, but his groin felt pain again as Faris sent her right foot upwards. Gilgamesh also landed in a crouch postion, but not in a fighting-typeish style. He grabbed the air, and sent his hand upward. Faris flew upward, crashed into the ceiling, then fell back to the floor. She she pulled out and drank a hi-potion, stood up, and rushed at Gilgamesh. As Gilgamesh fell to the floor, so did Faris, and she landed on top of him.

All of a sudden, Reina came running in from the hall. "What were all those noises? Faris? Are you--OH MY GOD!!" She shouted as she came into the throne room, but turned 180ยบ and put her hands on the side of her head. Faris turned her head, and watched Reina turn around. "It's not what you think." Gilgamesh explained. Reina's eyes widened. "Gilgamesh?! How the..?" She said. Reina turned around to face Faris.

"That's what I thought." Faris got off of Gilgamesh, and helped him up. Gilgamesh dusted himself off, and looked at Reina. "I'm here to train Salsa." He said. Faris clenched her fist. "I prefer Faris." She said. Reina gave them both a weird look. "Okay. Well, Lunch is about to be served. We're having chicken surprise. I don't want any surprises in my chicken, so I'll fill up on appetizers." She announced. "Gil, you wanna stay and have lunch?" Faris asked. "That would be nice." He answered.
