"Welcome to Nippur."

Fujimaru shouted immediately "What did you do with the humans of this city!" The imposter grinned while Merlin was looking at him "We met again fake Enkidu."

Fake smiled before gesturing to the blood "Humans are an invaluable source of nourishment." The soldiers behind them watched as Enkidu trembled in rage. "We're making much use of them in thanks." Soldiers murmured "Nourishment?"

Sherlock got it "The objective of demon beasts wasn't the wall." Fake smiled "Correct smart one, it's simply a cage protecting the food and nourishment were stored." Kiyohime cringed in disgust while Jeanne seemed interested and Sherlock was thinking about the next best move.

The soldiers started getting it as well only for Fake to confirm it "That's right there never was an invasion. That plan was going to be executed after the second generation of demon beasts"

Enkidu was like a kettle with water threatening to spill out. "You people are nothing more than raw material." Fujimaru shouted "What do you think humans are?!" Fake smiled as he looked Fujimaru straight in the eye with the same face as Enkidu.

"A nursery to create a superior creature."

The soldiers shouted "Cut the crap you're nothing but a doll in the likeness of Enkidu!"

Enkidu felt a bit grateful until the Fake rose into the air. "It seems the real one is here as well. So you'd at least be a prelude to Gilgamesh."

Ana quickly defeated the beast with the help of Merlin. Fake wrapped it's chains around her before suspending her in the air. Enkidu watched as Fou was faster to take action. The small squirrel like creature lit up before travelling like light towards Ana and teleporting away.

Enkidu sighed in relief as he walked slowly towards Fake as he breathed out "Taking a page from Gil."

"It's time to get rid of the feika."

Fake suddenly was alert as the ground trembled and shook as structures tumbled down. Enkidu's precognition warned him of the creature.

Snake like hair ripped the ground apart. A snake like tail slithered on the ground and a pair of wings spread into the air before flapping once to get rid of the dust. The sun shone on the creature in its gigantic size.

The soldiers ran away in fear "We can't beat that!" They rushed back in retreat while Enkidu doubted that was Tiamat.

She announced herself "Tiamat the mother of all beasts stands before you now." She looked at Fake and asked "Is that humanity's last master?" Fake smirked "Yes" Her eyes glanced across the place before widening in confusion. Another Enkidu?

Enkidu was never supposed to be in this timeline or helping them. Yet here he was a wild card, a variable that could change and destroy every plan. "Another Enkidu?" Fake replied "Yes, the real one." ?Tiamat? thought for a bit as Enkidu was supposed to be dead and this Enkidu was made out of the body of the dead Enkidu.

So the only possible option was he was from another time just like the last master! "She lunged her hair towards them only for chains to bind them. Enkidu raised his hand as the whole ground became gold as chains rattled in the air before attempting to bind them only to be knocked by Faker's chains.

Faker stayed in the air while "Tiamat" looked at Merlin who had blocked her attack. She smirked "It's been a while since I used my eyes but..." Merlin immediately hid behind Enkidu. "Sorry I take it all back please protect me" Enkidu rolled his eyes until she unleashed her mystic eyes of petrification.

Enkidu had a feeling that this didn't add up while Sherlock was thinking with all his might using available clues and references. He yelled "I don't have enough clues nor references to confirm my theory!" Jeanne quickly stabbed the goddess before looking at her blade and yelling "I can safely say that I stabbed a goddess with this sword!" only to get knocked into a building with the tail.

Enkidu shook his head "It seems I've summoned a Jeanne Alter with slightly lower intelligence." His Jeanne Alter was at stage three yet her intelligence was pretty damn low. Maybe she traded all that attack power for intelligence.

Jeanne was lying in the rubble but had a strange dream about her beating up her master. How strange. Enkidu's chains restrained the hair snakes until Ushiwakamaru cut the spell for the mystic eyes.

He looked at them before shouting "Go run without looking back!" Enkidu nodded at them before staying with Ushiwakamaru "I'll help, she pisses me off." Ushiwakamaru had never seen Enkidu angry so this was something new.

Fake looked at Enkidu who was restraining the hair with chains. "Gilgamesh why won't you come out yet?"

Ushiwakamaru landed on a building only to see a snake of hair about to hit only for it to stop. She leaped back into the air seeing the chains restraining the hair. Enkidu lifted his hand as weapons created from the ground awaited in the air to launch. Enkidu launched them at "Tiamat" who sacrificed her hair.

Ushiwakamaru was soon running out of stamina as Enkidu could see that. His precognition activated once again as he intercepted the hair snakes from attacking Ushiwakamaru. He was also keeping the Feika at bay.

"You've done enough retreat!" Ushiwakamaru shouted "But-" Enkidu glared at her "Retreat that's an order!" Ushiwakamaru bit her lip before rushing back to the wall. Enkidu stomped his foot as a huge wall obscured both Feika's and "Tiamat's" vision.

He quickly flew back to make sure Ushiwakamaru got back safely.

The ground trembled as she eventually made her way to the wall. Enkidu grinned while Ushiwakamaru was bound by chains to take a rest. Leonidas looked at the monster as Sherlock informed him of his theory. Leonidas understood as this could help.

Leonidas called out to her as he simply stated his name "Leonidas the king of sparta! A city praised by Ares. The descendant of Hercules who was the son of Zeus!" She glared at him "Zeus?!" She started firing beams while Enkidu could not do anything he was purely based for attack and defended by attacking yet no opportunity presented itself here.

Leonidas banged his spear on the ground as shields raised to protect them before Leonidas broke down and threw his spear with all his might while giving a nod to Sherlock who confirmed his hypothesis.

The spear blasted threw all of the gorgon's defences before leaving a gaping whole in her stomach. He collapsed as he turned to stone and dust. Enkidu finally seized this chance for the one on one as he specialised in this.

The gorgon blinked before the soldiers saw thousands of weapons filled with mana and were the peak of craftsmanship. The soldiers cheered as they launched towards the gorgon at high speeds. A blink was all it took for them to sink themselves into the flesh of the goddess.

Enkidu grinned as the blades brightened before exploding creating some extra damage. The gorgon groaned in pain while Enkidu was not done.

The ground brightened into gold as hundreds of chains glowed and imbued themselves with the piercing effect. They shot straight towards the gorgon who had some of her flesh ripped out from the blades of the chains.

Faker who saw this quickly whispered "It won't be fun if we killed them all at once." The gorgon nodded before retreating leaving a gaping whole and a bunch of weapons stuck into the sides.

Merlin asked "You're not Enkidu so who are you?"

He smiled "My true name is Kingu!"

"Feika!"

He turned around to see Enkidu who had a his arms crossed and mimicked Gil.

"My true name is Ki-"

"Feika!"

Kingu/Feika! shook his head before he left.

A/N: I really did not like the fact that Ushiwakamaru died. Her character was a really strong one that had a really good impact on most of the viewers and players. So this was the result of my own personal whim. I'll make it work and who said canon was the best plot? Bet most of you hated the fact that Kaori died and should've had a happy life instead in "Your Lie in April".
