Grails Aren't Great

"Great, he's here," Keiji muttered, the presence of the Golden King far too great to ignore as his massive power radiated as they continued down into where the Greater Grail was held. A nightmarish eclipse painted over the cave where they were, looking like a new world. If they were any less prepared, Satan would have been telling them that is hell they are walking into.

Sadly, the worst, hardest opponent to face was there. The King of Heroes standing there with a confident smile. "Mongrels, you've finally arrived. Seriously, keeping a king waiting will grant you immediate death, but I can see you won't fall that easily," he told them, a dark grin as his arrogance shined just as brightly as the several gates forming behind him.

"Tokiomi! You're here, too!"

"Of course. I have to be here when my Servant claims victory for the Holy Grail!" he replied, even as tremors went through his body with each word he spoke. One wrong comment, Gilgamesh would waste no time making him regret it. An ego that couldn't be shaken, even if the universe tumbled on itself.

Irisviel pulling several strands of her hair out, crafting several familiars out of her hair. Some in the form of birds while others were sharp weapons. "I'll have to take care of him," Irisviel resolved, not attacking right away due to not wanting to risk anything. Gilgamesh was still in the way, so him getting out was a priority.

An immediate spray of weapons for them to deal with. This time, they were far more potent as another gate opened up, delivering a powerful dose of magecraft-based attacks that only Artoria could navigated against without trouble thanks to her Magic Resistance. Pointing her blade, she used Invisible Air to unleash a powerful torrent of wind but Gilgamesh's armour was made of mighty stuff, purging the attack with ease.

Keiji set his grimoire to work, focusing his mind to use it effectively, making sure to negate the rain of weapons that Gilgamesh's Gate of Bablyon spawned. "Tch, the bastard never lets up with what he's got.

"There's more, mongrels! Do your best to entertain me!"

Mash standing strong and proud against the hail of weapons as Tokoimi was able to retreat to safety now that they had to put their all into protecting themselves from the hail of attacks but the Shielder stayed strong. "Are you fine, Irisviel?!" Mash questioned.

"I'm safe thanks to you! Do you have a good look at what the battle is like?!" Irisviel tense the whole time through as the sounds of war was going out. 'This is really what a battle against a Heroic Spirit is like!'

"Armour of Avalon, activate!"

Calling out her Maken's ability, several bullets rose out of Mash's shield. Gilgamesh rolled his eyes at what appeared to be a pathetic attempt to stall him out, summoning weapons to deal with them accordingly, only to find himself moving back as they cut through them, as if that was their purpose, binding the weapons into impossible shape and making Gilgamesh release even more of his treasury to prevent her from attacking him.

Keiji garbed in Crimson Queen in a flash, with Gilgamesh sent flying. His Spirit Core not collapsing after one punch thanks to the many shields that he had in place. One click of his fingers forcing Keiji to rapidly use his blade to push away the many blades that came at him, one ice blade being pushed back but overreacting like a chemical explosion, generating a giant wave of frost.

Ascalon being fired out of Gilgamesh's Gate of Babylon, but Keiji managed to grab the blade, generating a powerful heatwave to stop the flames and brushing past the weapons but Gilgamesh was far too crafty, out of the way and with another set of equipment to stop and stall them. An endless amount rapidly casted to the lot of them as Jalter's flames could only burn so much of them whilst Artoria could only defend so much.
