Chapter 72 by Kougyoku Kougyoku

How do you imagine victory?

With Pegasus and Excalibur

"Trace, on." You say. You're not sure this will work. But you must. You begin to summon forth the sword of promised victory, Excalibur. "Master." You are interrupted by Rider. "Use my steed." You nod as she plunges her nail-chain into her neck.

The sound of galloping hooves and loud whinny permeate the battlefield. "You think some horse will save you!?" Gilgamesh mocks. "This isn't just any horse. Come, Pegasus!" You exclaim. The winged steed flies in, offering you his saddle. You grip the golden rains, causing Pegasus to take off to the skies.

You smile as you can almost feel Rider's handle on top of yours, sharing the reigns. You ready your sword, ready to penetrate and overwhelm Gilgamesh with your raw speed. Gilgamesh , however, is ready. "So, that's the way it is. Eat THIS! Enuma Elish!" Gilgamesh exclams as a beam of energy shoots towards you.

"Speak the name of my Noble Phantasm with me.' Rider says. You nod, and shout alongside Rider, "Bellephron!" Upon releasing Pegasus' rage, he shoots forward, pushing you into the black comet. Your light pierces Gilgamesh's power, inching you closer to finish once and for all...

But it's not enough. Pegasus pushes forward harder and faster, but you're not moving an inch. An image of Saber appears to you. "I will lend you my power. Take Excalibur. And win." You feel the metal of Excalibur entering your hand. This is no replication. You feel the victory in your hand, and as Illya's power surges through you, you speak its name.

"EXCALIBUR!" A sudden blast of power surges through Gilgamesh as Pegasus punches through. As the smoke clears, the Blade Works fades away, the power spent for now. Gilgamesh stands laughing, his clothes tattered and charred.

Suddenly, a black hole opens behind Gilgamesh and sucks him in. "No! I'm not done yet! You're coming with me!" Gilgamesh says as he wraps a chain around you. You struggle, but are getting sucked in..

Rider arrives just in time to cut away your bonds. "Are you okay, Master?" You nod. "Yeah. But what about the Grail..?" You and Rider look back to where the Grail was and...

AND...?!??
