Lesson 471 Bible pages are not good protection against regular humans (Anthony vs Mato)

"So it has come to this, huh..."
Staring at the priest in front of her, Mato couldn´t help but groan. Iscariots never changed- no matter if you were a human or not, if you were part of Hellsing, you had to die for the greater good or something- Killing Vampires made sense, they ate humans and most of them even did that just for fun, but humans were humans.
And judging by his appearance, he was just a regular human too. Good thing she remembered to pack some of her new slugs- those might end the fight early.
"Well then. Unless you wanna call it a day and think about your ideals another time..."
Her left hand shot into her coat and produced a Saiga 12 shotgun, the stock unfolding just by gravity alone, as her right produced a magazine from the depths of her coat, loaded into the Saiga in an instant.
I was expecting vampires... the first one`s a birdshot, the magazine is full of buck. Oh well. It still hurts.

Anthony's orders were very clear. The death of their spy (taking some liberties here sorry.) Would not go unpunished. This agent happened to have unluckely been te one chosen to enact that punishment on.

"Now now, It's nothing personal miss. But orders are orders after all. If you'd like I can give you a confession before your last bloody breath leaves your broken and lifeless body."

Father Anthony Diem stated completely serious. As he redied his guns for this battle and his pages which he had wrapped around his arms he said to her. "And even if you don't want to take me up on that offerr I promise to pray for you."

Father Anthony did not want to do this but ther is no way that he would be pulling punches.

Mato`s eyes stared deep into his- cold, empty and full of lifelessness.
"If you must pray, don´t do it for me. Do it for you- pray that God forgives you for perverting his name under orders of Enrico Maxwell."
He was still entirely convinced that she killed their spy. No use trying to talk to him- the Iscariots were religious fanatics afterall.
"For killing a man of the church to claim his rank does not make you a christ, but rather the antichrist."
A bellowing thunder escaping her Saiga spewed a cloud of one hundred BBs at him, tightly patterened and aimed (from the hip) for his center mass.

Mato responded with a combat roll to the side, reacting to the gun being drawn rather than the shots being fired. The closest she got to was a small slope, which wouldn´t stand up to a gunfight- had to find a car or truck around here to hide behind. Unfortunely, none were at hand, so she settled for an open encounter.
"Thanks for giving me advice, moron." She taunted, leaping out of cover to fire a three-round burst of buckshot shells, each containing eight solid rounds at his last known position, her leap ending behind the stump of a dead tree, it was short, only good for cover if she was flat on the ground, but big enough to hide a person behind.

The pages which obscurred Anthony did not go anywhere an when Anthony fell another couple feet he hit them and they traveled twenty five feet behind Mato her bullets soaring past where hewould have been had he kept falling and begin firing his bullets at her wanting to end this quickly he fired many bullets from both his gus.

Anthony wanted to keep this fight simple because he figured that he could outlast her. She would slip up. He would kill her in melee or maybe get in a lucky shot. Who knows. While she shot at an Anthony that was't there Anthony was hoping his back attack would take her by surprise.

The shotshells missed- not suprising considering she couldn´t see him.
While leaping and rolling from one sparse cover to another, she began to think about her options- her new glass slugs should be enough to kill him once he made a mistake, but against those bible pages...
He seemed to use them a lot. Might as well try it with a Dragons Breath round as soon as possible.
Part of her wanted to cut to the chase and use her pistols to counter his own, but she hadn´t used the Saiga in a while. Might as well cut it some slack and-
Her heart stopped for a moment as she got hit in the back, twitching a bit as the force nearly knocked her over- a metallic ringing caught her eye, and she noticed the pain was only shallow.
The bullet hit the sword she had holstered on her back, and that had deflected the dense large caliber bullet easily.
My lucky angel watches over me... hopefully i`ll live long enough to repay him or her.
As soon as a pause came up in his attacks, a reload possibly, she turned on her heel to face him, bump-firing her Saiga to unleash all seven shots in a rapid sucession, the heavy recoil spreading the shots apart, making it even harder to miss a target such as him even if he dodged.

He heard the clang. No good he thought to himself as he reloaded. When she turned around to shoot at him Anthony responded by doing something not a lot of people would do. He jumped straight up in the air lifted a couple feet more in the air by the pages which attached to his arms as they fanned out above him. They gave him an object to throw hismself up with. As Anthony was on the down spin those same pages he had used to support himself shot at his enemy and attempted to entangle her.  There were two links he sent at her. One towards her body the other towards her face and neck area.

What, he was attacking her with that wierd paper now? Odd guy. Very odd.
She heard of vampires being affected by the scripture, but... she was still human, right? Gothic, but human...

He made a mistake though- by showing her where those pages came from, his arms, she could see where he was- in the middle of the papers, where both streams originated.
Her shotgun was empty, but that was of no consequence- drawing her left pistol with her left hand, she fired a whole fifteen bullets into the center of the bible storm, aiming to at least hit him, if not incapitate him.

She was then flung paper into her face and spat it out, knocking the empty Saiga magazine out with the barrel of her pistol.

Anthony hit the ground hard. He did not attempt to remain standind and as such as soon as he hit the ground he let himself continue the fall onto his stomach. Anthony was only hoping his pages gave him that second long distraction he needed. Anthony rolled over as more bible pages coming from his bible this time flowed out of his chest and on to the floor.

As Anthony quickly rolled over his bible pages that were on the ground teleported him right behind Mato. Hs two fully loaded guns still out he fired at her head and neck area with his guns and then later a coupe body shots. (away from her sword.)

But the interestng part of his strategy was that his hat and jacket were still where he was lying only supported by his pages to make it look like a crumpled body. His hat blocked the veiw of the pages as it's top was facing Mato and its size was actually bigger than his head so he hoped it didn't look suspicius. There was also a small part of his steel toed boots showing on the outside of his puffed up jacket.

Anthony's tactic of distraction with the pages, deciet with the cloak hat and boots, and back attack he thought to himself. Was the perfect attack for a one who wa in the organization based off of Judas Iscariot.

(Okay i`m stepping out of this practice fight, sorry to disappoint.)
