Still great to see the two awesomest dads in the Nasuverse kick ass with great prejudice.
The part with Kiri dual-wielding the knife and the screwdriver was fantastic, but the scene with the tablecloth stole topped that. Kiritsugu one-upping those Dead Apostles like the Magus Killer he is was also quite satisfying.
My Fanfics. Read 'em. Or not.McJon01: We all know that the real reason Archer would lose to Rider is because the events of his own Holy Grail War left him with a particular weakness toward "older sister" types.

Children, you need to learn more from your parents!
Oh Gosh, Kiri and Kiritsugu are too bad-ass... Even with all the obstacles on their way.
Simply put, I just cannot find words to emphasise how awesome your fic is.
Wow, that was a great chapter =D
And just checking, it was Maiya at the end who shot the Apostle right?
Impressive. Most impressive.
Regarding vampires and guns, I thought Dead Apostles weren't really affected by bullets, or were these Dead Apostles not as powerful as the ones encountered in Tsukihime?
Correct.
They can, in fact, be harmed by conventional means. They just can't be shot face-to-face because their reflexes are such that they can avoid a bullet after it has been fired (so automatic and shotgun spray weapons are more likely to hit) and they can heal damage if it isn't a insta-fatal wound. Why Kiritsugu was going for head and spine shots, why he had to mow the third one down.

...I think Kiri just topped Jackie Chan in my list of 'People who can fight with anything they get their hands on'.
And Kiritsugu would own at Call of Duty. Even Nazi Zombies.
Yeah, there's just not enough Kiri reference, so I spent a while staring at clips of Nanaya fighting in Melty Blood, then tried thinking like he fights Jackie Chan-Tony Jaa-esque while writing.

So awesome. And damn I missed the release of the first chapter - makes me sad.
Is it just me or does replaced not fit at all? Personally I would use put for this situation or something similar. Besides that potentially unwanted feedback I got nothing besides the fact that it's so awesome.
Congratulations, Arashi! You gave life to a new edict!
Edict #49(true): 'Any character whose name contains Kiri is awesome beyond measure.'
Annex 49.1(true): 'The childs of said characters would inherite at least some of that awesomeness. That's just how awesome their parents are.'
Spoiler:
Kickass chapter. I'm not sure which part I liked best.
Replace. Transitive verb. To return or restore to a former position or location.
I'm well aware it is a fragment. If you read any of my stuff, you might notice that I stylistically choose to use fragments or run-ons for the purpose of sounding either poetical or stream-of-consciousness in-character. Which also applies to the rest of your critique. I know (generally) what I'm doing and most of it is on purpose to establish a rhythm.

THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE WILL DO WHAT I WANT IT TO BECAUSE NIHONGO NEVER DOES.

So the English language is Arashi's bitch?
Psychologically speaking, in a D/s relationship, the D is actually the dependent one...
