------------------------------------------- (Rolling for the Many Faces of Gilgamesh) laMUIeUm1-8Current Form: Lorican King Mode ------------------ Finally, here at last, the last round of the tournament. Here, the champion would be decided with one ultimate test of combat. It had been a long journey, fighting emperors and mages and shapeshifters of all sorts. However, Gilgamesh proved himself the victor in all of them. Of course he was, Enkidu would be so displeased if Gilgamesh hadn't made it to the finals. And yet, it was not merely his prowess with his sword that had won him the advantage. It was his way with words, his indomitable determination to see the battle through to the end and even his limitless compassion. He also knew that his opponent would be equally as wily and deadly, if they had made it this far. So be it. Gilgamesh hadn't come here because it was easy. He came here for the challenge! The thrill of combat! To test his skills against his equals! This opponent would be no exception. However, there was one problem, as Gilgamesh stood in the stone arena beneath the sunbaked Colosseum. "WHERE IS EVERYBOOOODDDYYYYYYYY?!"An hour later, after finding the sign he had obliviously ignored that told him where to go, Gilgamesh arrived at the boats. Luckily, he was still early for his match, despite the mess-up. Gilgamesh smiled, for he was never early or late, he arrived precisely when he meant to. The voyage across the River Styx was an arduous one, namely because Gilgamesh's large build weighed down the boat so much. The souls tried to drag the boat further down but luckily, Gilgamesh made it to the other side. He found the whole Underworld dank and dreary, which he supposed wasn't entirely unsurprising. It was still more inviting than the Rift or even ExDeath's castle. Gilgamesh used his Many Faces of Gilgamesh skill to change his form once again. Phil was there, reluctantly, to ensure that it was Gilgamesh and not some imposter. Once he finished shifting his shape, Gilgamesh looked himself over. How fitting that I return to my original form.[/font] Then the matches began. First, they introduced Rina, Gilgamesh's opponent. She seemed to be a slight girl of middling power. But Gilgamesh had run into tricksters throughout this tournament. He was not going to be fooled so easily. Then it was time for Gilgamesh himself to walk in. And walk in, he did. His footsteps echoed throughout the arena, almost overpowering the crowd's shouts and applause. It was no coincidence. Gilgamesh, rather than his normal clothes and robes, seemed to be decked out in rather heavy armor and he was by no stretch a small fry. A shield even hung over his back, to serve as impenetrable armor. Gilgamesh walked in and folded his arms before Rina. Everyone noticed that he had walked in unarmed. However, before they could introduce Gilgamesh... "Let me tell you who you face, young lady! You face the king of the mighty land of Lorica! The most powerful of the Black Tortoise l'Cies! You face me, GILGAMESH! My people... slain cruelly by the cowardly Militesi Empire, LIVE ON THROUGH ME! They rally behind their King and encourage me to press on beyond all odds! You face a king for his STRENGTH AND DETERMINATION! I warn you, here and now, that there will be no mercy from me, nor do I expect mercy from you! To get this far, you must be a warrior of great renown! A creature of peerless power! Allow me... Allow me the PLEASURE OF FIGHTING THIS MATCH WITH YOU!" Suddenly, Gilgamesh crossed his arms in an X and then his body whipped backwards. At first, it would seem that his chest exploded in a fiery blaze. This was not entirely wrong. What really happened is that, through some unknown magic of his world, Gilgamesh's sword was coming out of his chest! As Gilgamesh pulled it out, the blade was massive, nearly as tall, if not taller than Gilgamesh and nearly as wide. Gilgamesh finished pulling the sword out of his chest, which seemed to cause him no pain and then grabbed the sword by the handle and held it aloft before allowing it to rest on his shoulder. ( Appropriate music is appropriate) "BUT ENOUGH EXPOSITORY BANTER! Let us fight like men! And women! And women who dress like men! As for me, GILGAMESH... IT'S CLOBBERIN' TIME!" Then Gilgamesh didn't walk or advance slowly towards Rina. He actually ran towards her, apparently unperturbed by the weight of his sword or his armor. He then swung downwards with his sword to try and cleave her in half. Not satisfied, he then swung in a circle, using the momentum of his heavy blade to his advantage. Then, hoping his strikes at least knocked her off-balance, Gilgamesh tried to grab her. If successful, he would lift her off the ground and then unleash a Massive Headbutt to her. It would be clear that Gilgamesh was fighting to win and was backing up his assertion of showing no quarter to his opponent, no matter who it may be. ---------------------- 1) Gilgamesh swings downward with his Genji Blade 2) Gilgamesh swings in a circle with his Genji Blade 3) Gilgamesh plans to give Rina a splitting headache with his Massive Headbutt Genji Blade: A massive blade fit for a king.

This is amazing...I've made it to the finals.
Rina made the trek from the Coliseum to the Underworld in absolute surprise. She had somehow made it to the final round of the Hades Cup. She could potentially win this thing. Rina had never won anything in her life except maybe the occasional round of strip poker. This could perhaps be her crowning achievement in life. She had somehow beat out opponents who had been infinitely more strong and more experienced. She never thought herself capable of something like this. She sighed internally. I never give myself enough credit, do I?
A small smile adorned Rina's face as she climbed into the boat and made her way across the Sea of the Dead and made her way into the arena of the Underdrome. She would win this fight and make herself even more proud than she already was. Her smiled stayed across her lips until she finally saw her opponent. He was a large man, much bigger than she was and he was decked out in armor that she knew she couldn't break through. Stop that, Rina! You can beat him.
Rina's eyes grew wide as the man in front of her obnoxiously introduced himself as Gilgamesh. Rina had heard of him. He was supposedly the greatest swordsman to ever live. Perhaps there was some truth in that. The dark haired girl figured she was about to find out as Gilgamesh PULLED A SWORD FROM THE DEPTHS OF HIS CHEST. Well...that was something she had never seen before. Shortly after he had summoned the sword he sprinted straight at Rina bringing his sword down on her. With an undignified squeal Rina sidestepped his initial attack, feeling the wind come off of the swing. That was close! Her quick thinking wasn't quick enough as Gilgamesh caught her in the side with his large sword the second time around. With a loud "Ooof!" Rina was knocked to side where she crashed to the ground on her knees. Okay...he really means business. Well so do I!
While still on the ground, Rina touched the arena floor with her palm and whispered a nasty spell, conjuring a pool of noxious fumes to attack Gilgamesh from below. However, as she did this the bear of a man grabbed Rina up like she was nothing and reared his head away from her. What?! Is he seriously going to headbutt me?? No way! "Not today!" Right before Gilgamesh's head connected with hers she summoned one of her silver daggers and used the butt of it to hit the man right in the center of his forehead, as he came forward. Hopefully, there had been enough momentum to do some damage to the man and he would let her go.
------------------------------------ 1. Rina sidesteps and dodges the first attack.
Takes damage from second attack.
2. Rina casts: Bio: Inflicts Poison status on an enemy causing 5 % damage every turn it is active. Duration: 3 posts. Cooldown: 3 posts.
3. Rina uses the butt of her dagger to physically attack Gilgamesh, hoping he'll drop her.

Gilgamesh could feel his innards turn slightly as the Bio spell took effect. He knew that could be a potential danger if he didn't adapt to the situation. Gilgamesh, however, now also knew that she used magic. He'd have to be wary of that as well. He did manage to grab Rina and reared back to send her into a world of pain. However, he felt the butt of a weapon collide with his forehead. While it didn't hurt too badly, it did surprise and daze him a bit, causing him to let go of Rina. He stepped back a bit and shook his head to clear the stars out of his eyes. Then... Gilgamesh smirked right at Rina. "Heh, not bad! You've got tenacity at least, I can respect that. But mere tenaciousness could never defeat the greatest swordsman in the world! You'll need a lot more than that if you wish to fight me, GILGAMESH, the king of Lorica!" He could feel the pain of the Poison seeping through his body but Gilgamesh would simply power through it. How could he call himself the most powerful Black Tortoise l'Cie if he couldn't even handle a simple Bio spell?
Gilgamesh charged at Rina again, his sword resting upon his shoulder. Once he got close, he made as if to do another downward slice. Instead, he lowered the sword to the ground and used his free hand to aim a punch right at Rina's head. Whether or not the punch landed, he would then grab the Genji Blade with both hands and do a monstrous upward slash, intending to send her into the sky. Then he'd jump up and do a downward slice to send her rocketing back towards the ground. Once he landed, he jumped backwards, ready to see what his opponent would do. It was a bit too early to unleash his true form, but he still had to see if Rina was worthy enough for him to use it. If she got this far, however, it was very likely to be the case. He would just have to wait and see.
----------------- (Gilgamesh takes light damage from both the Poison and getting jacked in the face)
1) Gilgamesh tries to knock Rina's block off with a punch.
2) Gilgamesh tries to send Rina Sky-high with his blade.
3) Gilgamesh hammers home his point with a mid-air downward slash.

With a sigh of relief, Rina backstepped quickly away from Gilgamesh and quickly plotted her next move. He was so big and so strong that Rina wasn’t sure where to start her offensive. She took pride in the fact that her Bio spell seemed to be doing just the trick. “You’ll never meet anyone more tenacious than me, Gilgamesh! I’m here to win this!”
Gilgamesh came at her with his sword once again, but Rina quickly extended her hand, yelling “Protect me!”. A shield came forth from her hands and surrounded her completely, keeping her safe from the onslaught that Gilgamesh had brought forth upon her. His sword struck harmlessly against the shield, a pinging noise resonating throughout the arena. This should hold him for a little bit.
While her shield was holding, Rina began to cast some spells. “Dark Needles!” A frenzy of sharp needles made of darkness sprung forth from the ground and rushed over to Gilgamesh, aiming to impale. Hoping to cause some damage on the man, Rina also healed herself. She would need it considering how strong Gilgamesh was.

Gilgamesh seemed surprised that his sword was doing nothing to Rina. Then he noticed the shimmering magic of her Dark Shield. Luckily, he had jumped back in time to notice her getting ready for another spell. It was some sort of needle-type magic. "Fool! I did not ask for a session of acupuncture!" Gilgamesh then planted his sword into the ground and hid behind it. The Needles impacted the sword and bounced off harmlessly. A few managed to scratch Gilgamesh but it wasn't more annoying than damaging. Gilgamesh raised his sword again and shook the Needles off. That shield was capable of blocking his sword, which was not a good thing. His physical strikes were not going to cut it. Luckily, Gilgamesh came prepared for such an eventuality. He was still at a disadvantage, but at the very least, he could still damage his opponent. Especially since she seemed to be using this reprieve to heal her wounds. She was clever, very clever. Gilgamesh was right to be wary of her tricks. It would seem if he were to win, he was going to have to go all out.
"Hmph... I must admit, you are a very cunning opponent! I was hoping to not have to go all out so soon, but it would seem I have no choice! PREPARE THYSELF, RINA! Now you will face the power that led legions. My fallen comrades... my people slain so cowardly by a cruel enemy... THEY LIVE ON THROUGH ME! THEIR POWER IS MY OWN! YOU FACE NOT JUST ME BUT THE STRENGTH OF MY PEOPLE! WITNESS MY POWER! For my power... MY POWER REVERBERATES THROUGH ALL OF ORIENCE!" The Lorican King then replanted his sword and focused his power. Gilgamesh's entire body then became iridescent, shining with a bright light. The stage quaked as the metaphysical shackles of Gilgamesh's form were shattered. He seemed to change into a many-armed form, a form very familiar to the audience. In each hand, a powerful weapon appeared, the likes of which only the most powerful of warriors could wield. Finally, the light subsided and Gilgamesh opened his eyes once more before picking up his sword and, instead of resting it on his shoulder, held in a fighting stance. He smirked again, now that he had his full array of weapons.
"Quake, mortal, for you face weapons of legend, weapons without peer! My blade may not be able to pierce that shield while it remains up, but let's see if you can handle a little shot in the dark!' Gilgamesh then aimed what looked like a gigantic pistol at Rina. In reality, it was the Mtek-ZERO, a powerful magitek gun that held a magicite core within it. Gilgamesh fired the pistol and a burst shot of 5 shots of dangerous magical energy screamed towards Rina. Then Gilgamesh turned his body and aimed at Rina with his Yoichi Bow. Resting his sword on the ground and using a free hand to help pull the bow's string, an arrow appeared made of explosive energy. "If I were to suggest a path in life, I'd say the straight 'n' ARROW!" Gilgamesh fired a rapid burst of three arrows at Rina as well, the arrows of white energy rocketing towards the bounty hunter.
------------- (Takes very little damage from the Dark Needles and light damage from the poison)
1) Gilgamesh lends himself several hands by transforming into his true form.
2) Gilgamesh fires a rapid burst of magitek gun fire
3) Gilgamesh makes Rina fight in the shade with the Yoichi Bow.

Rina’s heart dropped into the pit of her stomach as the magical bullets came flying towards her. Looks like she would have to pull out all of the stops as well. She held out her palm summoning her strongest shield, watching with horror as she narrowly missed getting hit with them. The bullets pinged harmlessly off of her. His arrows also struck her harmlessly, but the impact shattered her shield. It would be a while before she could conjure it up again. “Phew…that was a close one. You don’t want acupuncture, eh? How bout some shock therapy?! Lightning storm!”
From the safety of her sphere, Rina raised her hand and summoned a large storm cloud to come across Gilgamesh’s head and rain down stinging lightning bolts. While that was happening, she primed herself for her strongest attack. Maybe if she casted it early she could get the upper hand in this battle. “Take this, Gilgamesh!”
Rina clasped her hands and said a small prayer for strength and pulled them apart summoning an orb made of Light and Dark. She tossed in up in the air and then jumped back to summon her daggers and sent them flying through the orb. This charged them up with magic and she sent them flying straight to her opponent’s chest!
------------------------------ Bio has ended.
Dark Shield has ended.
Dark Shield II ends with this post.
1. Rina casts Dark Shield II: Summons a transparent shield that surrounds Rina like a sphere and negates ALL attacks, physical and magical. [Duration: 1 posts] [Cooldown: 3 posts] 2. Rina casts Lightning Storm: Rina uses black magic to make lightning strike enemies across the field. (Cooldown: 3 posts) 3. "All or Nothing": Rina clasps her hands like she's praying. When she pulls them apart, there's an orb of Light and Dark energy floating in front of her. She releases it and summons her daggers to pierce the orb, coating them with magic and then strike the enemy. Reserved only for bosses. (Cooldown: 4 posts)

Those damnable shields! They would be the death of Gilgamesh. None of his projectiles made it through the new one, but they did break the older shield. So there was at least one upside. However, Gilgamesh noticed Rina casting magic again and braced himself. The lightning storm hit him, electricity painfully coursing through his body. "Grrr... this Shock Treatment is a terrible sequel to acupuncture!" Gilgamesh looked up again after only the aftershocks were present, just in time to notice Rina about to throw her daggers through a sphere of magical energy. The shocks from the lightning storm were still causing tremors in his many arms, but he was still a master warrior, damnit! He wasn't going to let Rina win that easily! Gilgamesh raised his Celestial Saber, a light sword that seemed to be made of glass. However, looks were deceiving, as it was every bit a legendary sword. As the daggers shot towards him like bullets, Gilgamesh only had time to swing once and swing he did. However, due to one last tremor in his body, he only managed to deflect one of the daggers, the other stabbing right into his body and unleashing its magical vortex of damage, bringing the warrior to one knee. Gilgamesh had halved the damage but it was still quite a bit from such a small opponent. Gilgamesh took a free hand and ripped out the dagger, panting but regaining his composure. This battle was far from over as Gilgamesh stood tall. He had only just begun to fight and unfortunately for Rina, he noted her last line of protection fading away.
"Heh... Not bad, Rina. Not bad at all. I daresay we could've been friends in another life or CHOSEN RIVALS! But enough sentimental rubbish! Now it is my time to shine!" Gilgamesh then charged at Rina again, but now looking much more menacing as he was swinging his giant Genji Blade in a circle over his head. The giant blade made a terrible sound as it displaced the air around it. Once Gilgamesh got close, he spun and slammed his Genji Blade into the ground in a downward slash. But that wasn't all. For even if Rina dodged that one, Gilgamesh simply spun around and slammed the ground wherever Rina's new position was. He would do this again for a third and final time, hoping that of the three slashes, Gilgamesh hit with at least one. Then, he did a sort of spinning lunge with his Lance of Longinus at Rina, going into a Flurry of Steel. Gilgamesh swung with his gigantic mace called Thor's Hammer, swung in an upward arc with the Genji Blade, then did a multi-stab with Celestial Saber and his gauntlet, Demon's Fist, finishing the whole combo with a huge stab with Lance of Longinus. But even after all this, Gilgamesh was still not done. He decided to do one last hit, threatening Rina with Thor's Hammer like he was a baseball player. "Now, for one last Home Run from GILGAMESH!" Gilgamesh then swung Thor's Hammer in a wide horizontal arc, intending to try and slam Rina into the stands, despite the magical barrier.
-------- (Took damage from the Lightning Storm and strong, but not full damage from the remaining dagger in Rina's All or Nothing attack)

Rina watched with a proud smile as her last two attacks worked almost perfectly. It didn’t put Gilgamesh down though. He shook himself off and prepared for his next attack. Rina would be ready. She crossed her arms and shook her head as Gilgamesh boasted about himself. “Oh Gilgamesh. Don’t hurt my feelings like that. We can still be friends if you want. I’m a sentimental kind of girl.” In the short space of time between Rina’s last attack and Gilgamesh’s next, Rina grinned as she realized that she could use her Bio attack again. This one would probably be a life saver for her. She snapped her fingers casting the spell, right as Gilgamesh started his Quaking Strikes. He came at her so quick that Rina had no chance of escape. Her exclamations of pain as the Genji Blade bit into her skin, were drowned out by the sound of the blade slicing through the air. She dropped to the ground with various bruises and cuts springing upon her pale skin. She had sustained great damage and could hardly move.
Rina would make herself move though as Gilgamesh brought another volley of attacks against her with each of his weapons. She yelled with pain and fear as she rolled and dodged the attacks on the arena floor. Rina was able to dodge each attack except for the last one which caught her in her foot as she tried to crawl away. “Ahh!” Rina howled in pain as she could feel her ankle shatter in her leg. She was still unable to move. As Gilgamesh came towards her, swinging his mace, Rina thrust out her hands summoning her Dark Needles in front of her. Instead of the mace hitting her, it burst through her dark projections and hopefully did some damage to the titan as well. “Okay Gil…lighten up a little. This is supposed to be fun...” Pouting, Rina took a deep breath and healed herself feeling her cuts seal up and her ankle move back into place with grotesque clicking noising coming forth. It wouldn’t be fully healed however, and she would have to be careful.
---------------------------------- 1. Rina casts Bio: Inflicts Poison status on an enemy causing 5 % damage every turn it is active. Duration: 3 posts. Cooldown: 3 posts. 2. Rina casts Dark Needles: Rina summons needles of Darkness to come from the ground and attack the enemy. (Cooldown: 2 posts). 3.

Gilgamesh knew he had done significant damage to Rina, despite her agility allowing her to dodge most of the blows. He also saw the damage he had inflicted and felt pangs of regret hit him. However, Rina was still fighting back as Gilgamesh felt the Poison seep back into his body again, pain wracking his insides once more. As he swung the mace, the Dark Needles Rina shot collided with the massive weapon, most of them shattering on contact. A few, just like before, managed to cut into Gilgamesh's body, enough for him to step back. It was now that he noticed that Rina wasn't planning on any big hits. Instead, it would be a Death of a Thousand Cuts. If Gilgamesh didn't end this fight soon, his accumulated injuries would do him in. Luckily, it seemed that his attacks did a number on Rina's agility, namely injuring her ankle. While Gilgamesh sympathized with her plight, he couldn't help but feel lucky that she'd have a bit more trouble dodging his attacks. Still, gloating was bad form.
"My apologies, ma'am." Gilgamesh began. "But I have gone too far to hold back now! I will not be satisfied until I'm either the Champion of the Hades Cup Tournament or I have been defeated in honorable combat! I can not... no, I WILL not surrender to anyone! Not even you, madam! Do not worry, I will not kill you, obviously! Even if I have to scour the farthest worlds, I will find a healer and you will live to see another day! I must admit, though, you're a lot more skillful than I had expected. This has been an amazing fight! So DO NOT LOST HEART! Come, Come at me with all you can muster, Rina! It is either that or surrender and I'm sure you're not about to give up on me!" Gilgamesh then twirled Lance of Longinus around and then swung it once in a wide horizontal arc at Rina, then used Demon Fist to throw a brutal haymaker at her. Then Gilgamesh jumped back, a little unsteadily due to the poison.
"Do not give in! Remember all the obstacles you have strived through to get here! FIGHT ON, RINA!" Gilgamesh took aim with Mtek-ZERO once again. Gilgamesh pulled the trigger on the magitek gun and unleashed a burst fire of six magical bullets at Rina. If none of his attacks did the trick, he'd have to take drastic measures. He had one big attack left in his arsenal, which could end the fight. However, there was a good chance it'd be the end of Rina as well. Gilgamesh didn't want that, but time was not on his side. If he didn't do something soon, his chances of winning would continue to dwindle faster and faster.

Groaning with pain as she pulled herself back onto her feet, Rina took a defensive position towards Gilgamesh. She had to put most of her weight onto her uninjured ankle to keep it from throbbing. She listened intently to Gilgamesh’s apology and nodded slightly. He was a genuine man, that much was obvious. He was also genuine in his statement about not giving up and that he would win. If Rina kept taking hits like this, he would win!
Gilgamesh started his onslaught and Rina wasn’t sure what to do. Her movement was limited! She’d have to fight on the defensive. As Gilgamesh started to swing his lance toward her, she summoned her daggers and used one to block his attack (getting a nice whack on the back of the hand!} and using the other to hopefully jab deeply into armor. Maybe she could pierce it and lodge her dagger into his ribs. Since she was so close to him now she would have no chance of dodging his Demon Fist so she scrunched up her face and raised her arms to protect herself. The blow knocked her back and into the forcefield around the arena. “Ow…that hurt…” she grumbled as she scrambled back to her unsteady feet. However as soon as she got back up she saw Gilgamesh readying his gun. Seriously?! With a surprised yell she summoned her Dark Shield II, watching the bullets strike, crack, and disintegrate her shield, but protect her. “Come on now!” She was aggravated now.
------------------------------- 1. Blocks lance with a dagger. 2. Attacks with 2nd dagger.
3. Casts Dark Shield II: Summons a transparent shield that surrounds Rina like a sphere and negates ALL attacks, physical and magical. [Duration: 1 posts] [Cooldown: 3 posts]

Gilgamesh again jumped backwards to give himself some more distance. He was sure he had Rina on the ropes now but it looked like her temper was flaring. That could be good news or bad news. On one hand, anger made people not think clearly and mess up. On the other hand, she might just decide to abandon her slow, but sure death plan and go for her stronger moves. Either way, he had to think of something. And unfortunately, he would have to defeat befor-OW! W-What was that? His chest was in pain, the burning, stabbing kind, no less. Gilgamesh looked down and found a dagger embedded in his chest! Holy heck, he'd been stabbed! How did that get there? WHEN did that get there? It seemed to be the same one Rina threw earlier, so it had to be hers. It was getting pretty uncomfortable, actually. After pondering the existence of the dagger for a bit, Gilgamesh ripped it out and tossed it aside. Now, where was he?
Right, he needed to defeat Rina. And he knew just how to do it. Hopefully, it wouldn't kill her. He was a man of his word, after all. Gilgamesh raised his sword so that the blade pointed to the sky. "I'm sorry, Rina... but I shall end this fight here! Allow me to show you the true might of Lorica! For though the people are dead, as long as they are in my Heart, they ARE ALWAYS AT MY SIDE! FIGHT ON, MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS!" Then, all of Gilgamesh's weapons glowed with a white magical energy. The warrior let them go and the weapons floated in the air, held aloft by the magical energies suffusing them. Then they shot up into the sky and out of sight. However, it did not take long for a response. Suddenly, out of the aether, ethereal weapons made of magical energy shot down out of the sky. Hundreds of them, swords, spears, giant arrows, hammers, maces and axes rained down up on Rina. Whether they hit Rina or the ground, the magical energy dispersed would cause the ground to become suffused with light, glowing white from the magical energies. Once this devastating rain of weapons ended, Gilgamesh's weapons returned to his hands.
He had hoped that Rina would surrender now. Gilgamesh felt the poison continuing to wrack his body. It was a painful reminder that he had little time to muck about. He worried about going too far, but Gilgamesh knew that were Rina and Gilgamesh's positions switched, she would not be merciful towards him. The Lorican King then fired a volley of three magical arrows out of Yoichi's Bow, before charging in and trying to smash Rina with Thor's Hammer. He hoped this would be the last bit of damage he needed to dole out.
------------ (Took light damage from the dagger and 5% damage from Poison)
1) Gilgamesh used his ultimate move, Rain of Blades.
2) Gilgamesh fired a volley of arrows from Yoichi's Bow
3) GILGAMESH SMASH... with Thor's Hammer.
Genji Blade: A massive blade fit for a king. This heavy blade does medium damage with every swing. [Passive]
My power reverberates through all of Orience!: Gilgamesh decides to up the ante and morphs into his eight-armed form, equipped with seven weapons that are without peer. Gilgamesh is much faster and stronger than in his normal form. Once this effect is activated, Gilgamesh cannot change back into two-armed form until the end of the thread. [Duration: Until end of thread] [Cooldown: Once per thread]
Flurry of Steel: Gilgamesh launches a devastating combo at his opponent, swinging with all of his weapons. If opponent is far away from Gilgamesh, he shoots multiple shots from his magitek gun and bow. Deals Heavy damage. [Cooldown: 1 post]
Quaking Strikes: Gilgamesh dashes at an opponent, twirling the Genji Blade around. Once close enough, Gilgamesh slams his sword at an opponent three times. The slams cause a minor quake and explosion of damage at an opponent and Gilgamesh can change the direction of his subsequent strike in case of more evasive opponents. Deals Heavy Damage per strike [Cooldown: 2 posts]
Rain of Blades: Gilgamesh's ultimate attack in this form, all of his weapons glow and float around Gilgamesh. They then shoot upwards into the sky and, after a second or two, a devastating rain of blades falls in a large area at a group of opponents. Gilgamesh's weapons return to his hands. Deals Extreme damage [Cooldown: 5 posts]

Rina had never felt anything like that in her entire life.
The girl had watched wide eyed as Gilgamesh’s armory lifted into the sky, glowing with bright light. Panic had started to gather inside of Rina and she thought furiously on how she would act in the coming seconds, but her mind was blank. There was no way out of this one. A small smile crossed her lips and she shrugged half-heartedly. This was it then. She was proud of herself. Like really really proud. She had made it all the way to the end of this tournament. By herself! And she had held her own pretty well (up until this moment…). Besides she was pretty sure the prizes won for second place would be just as grand as the first-place ones. She was content.
So as a myriad of weapons came crashing down upon her, Rina dropped to the arena floor and covered her head with her hands. The pain was immense, and she was sure she blacked out from it for a moment, but as soon as the weapons ended their assault the pain ceased. Just for Gilgamesh to strike her in the chest with three arrows. “H-hey!” She struggled up to her feet, just to crash back down to her knees. It was over. Her health was depleted, and she was too weak to stand. But that didn’t stop the titan of a man to come lumbering at her with his Hammer.
Rina thrust out her hands at the man, and it was like she was hoping to stop a quickly moving train. “GIL STOP! IT’S OVER! I cede the battle.” Her hands flopped weakly back to her sides. “You’ve won…my friend.”
--------------------------- Rina surrenders to Gilgamesh. [HP=0/100]

The Hammer stopped just short of Rina's body. Gilgamesh looked down at Rina. It was clear she couldn't move. She looked too weak to even stand. The battle was over, there was no need to do any further damage. Gilgamesh lowered his weapons and nodded. "Do not be disappointed, Rina. You fought quite well. I must admit, I was concerned that you would actually defeat me and I don't say that often. One day, I ask that we fight again, when you are stronger. I see that you have much potential buried within you. For now, though, allow this fallen king to carry you off the battlefield. I feel we both need to find a healer." As Gilgamesh went to pick up Rina, he fell to one knee, grunting in pain and exhaustion. Not only did the tournament take a hold on him, but Rina's poison and her attacks had caught up to him. He stood back up and tried to pick up Rina again, succeeding this time.
And thus, cradling the bounty hunter in his free arm, did Gilgamesh walk off the battlefield. No denizen of the Underworld dared to impede his path or try to steal away the weakened Rina.

(Good fight! Good Night!)
