As Saber brandished Excalibur, Gilgamesh opened the Gate of Babylon. The handles of several weapons emerged from ripples in space and time. Gilgamesh reached back and pulled at a random sword handle.

It didn't budge.

Gilgamesh turned and tugged at the handle with both hands. "Damn thing must be stuck between here and Babylon," he muttered.

Saber sweat-dropped. "Um, Gilgamesh?..."

Gilgamesh gestured again, as if to open the Gate wider. All of his weapons suddenly came loose, to fall to the ground with an awful clatter.

Saber winced. Perhaps, she thought, Gilgamesh should use the Sturdy Shelves of Babylon instead.
