Ch 70 The Calm Before the Storm (Chaldea POV)

Mashu followed Elizabeth, Tamamo, and Kiyohime along with some other to Hogwarts. She held Romani close to her chest to keep him safe from any attacks. "Mashu what is it?" Neville asked after seeing a worried expression on her face.

"Oh, Neville-kun it's nothing to worry about." Mashu smiles at him.

"You're,"

"Sure?" Fred and George asked also worried.

Mashu gave them a reinsuring smile. she looks back to see Caster of the Forbidden Forest staring at the wall of flames. "Caster-san, what is it?"

"The flames… it's dissipating." Caster said in a calm tone.

From her words, everyone in the group turns to see the flames dispelling, then roars of Demonic Beast. They watched as the stadium they once were in, crumbles down revealing a huge amount of Demonic Beast advancing to Hogwarts.

"T-They're coming!" Lily panics. "What are we going to do, we can't take them all on-"

An earthquake caused by the footsteps of the Demonic Beast made the ground unstable. "LILY!" James caught Lily in his arms. "Are you alright?" he asked his wife.

"Yes, I'm fine," Lily replied.

"JAMES! LILY! LOOK OUT!" Sirius exclaims, both Potters turn around to see a Soul Eater above theme ready to strike.

"JAMES! LILY!" Remus cried for them.

"NO!" Mashu's eyes widen.

James hugged Lily trying to protect her when. "Devour my soul and come forth, o silver shooting star…" James opens his eyes seeing the Silver Knight in front of them. His arm was glowing emitting intense heat.

"Switch on, Airgetlam!"

Both James and Lily saw Bedivere slice the Soul Eater in half with his prosthetic arm. He threw his arm ridding the blood off. "Are you two alright?" Bedivere asked not turning around.

"Y-Yes, Sir Bedivere," James said helping Lily off the ground.

"Thank you," Lily thanked him.

"Go, we Servants shall handle these beasts," Bedivere said to them.

Suddenly the sound unknown to the wizard can be heard from the sky. "What is that sound?" Ginny asked looking at the night sky.

"I never heard this sound before," Neville added as the sound got closer.

"LOOK OUT!" Sirius points to a large black figure falling from the sky.

McGonagall froze staring at it when Zelretch pulls her away. The black figure sore passed them crashing in the horde.

"Thank you, Zelretch." McGonagall thanked the Dead Apostle.

Zelretch smirks. "Don't thank me yet until we get to safety."

Hermione opens her eyes to a smoke covered field. "What was that? It sounded like a jet plane crash landing." She said.

"What's a jet plane?" Neville asked.

"I think it's those flying machines dad always talks about," Ginny informs him. "Mundanes fly those machines like brooms but much bigger and hold a lot of people."

Mashu held Romani close when she felt a hand on her shoulder. "Shield Hero, make sure everyone makes it back safe."

Mashu's eyes widen at the sound of the voice. "Goetia-san, I thought you were with Senpai!?" she exclaims.

"Master asked me to protect you and the child on his request."


Flashback

Ritsuka watches Mashu and Romani sleeping in his bed, he smiles at his small family sleeping peacefully. He looks at the calendar, "March first, nine more days." He said.

He looks back at his family and sighs, "Goetia," His shadow morphs into the Romani look alike and knelt before his master.

"Master, what is it?" Goetia asked him.

"Goetia, I know you'll refuse either way." Ritsuka started. "But please accept this as my request,"

Goetia was hesitant to answer but eventually, he did. "Of course, master."

Ritsuka breaths out. "From now on until the end of the Anomaly, I want you to stay with Mashu and my son. Protect them like they were me."

The Beast blinks at his master. "Master-"

"Please, Goetia." Ritsuka turns to him with pleading eyes. "I want my family to be safe, you are the perfect person to protect them." he gave him a soft smile.

Goetia sighs before looking at the violet haired infant sleeping soundly. "Of course, master. I will protect them even if it would cost my body."

Ritsuka chuckles. "You don't have to go that far, Goetia."


End of Flashback

"Senpai asked you to protect me and Romani?" Mashu asked surprised that her fiancé would do that. "W-What about him? How come no one sees you? Who's protecting Senpai!?" sounded frantic.

Goetia closes his eyes, "I'm in your shadow, Shield Hero. For your second question, the Magus of Flowers and the King of Heroes foresaw that master will be fine."

"S-So, Senpai being capture- "

"Indeed, it's a part of the future they saw with their clairvoyance." The Beast ensures her. "By now he made his escape. For now, we need to focus on you and the others to safety. The Shadow Border is on its way as we speak."

Mashu eyes widen that the mobile command center is coming. "Mashu, what is that thing over there in the smoke?" Ginny asked.

Mashu looks over to the smoked area to see a menacing red glow. Then an unholy howl spread like a werewolf howling at the moon. "Hooooooo!" the smoke cleared to reveal a black knight with black mist distorting his body.

"WHAT IS THAT THING!?" Sirius exclaims only seeing a black mist.

Two Chimeras charges at the figure only for it to grab one by the tail and swung it around before smashing it on the other one. Another one tries to attack it only for it to dodge.

"M-Mashu, w-what is that…" Lily stop to see the figure materialize a gun in his palms and shot a barrage of bullets at the Chimera. It then howls in the air before going off into the horde.

"I-I-Is that a-a muggle gun?" James's eyes widen at the extensive damage that thing did to those monsters.

"I-Is that enchanted?" Remus asked shock to see the gun in action. "Who is that person?"

"Berserker, he'll be covering us," Mashu said before another voice interrupts the group.

"Mashu, LOOK OUT!" Elizabeth cried out.

Mashu turns her head to see some Soul Eaters appear behind her.

"AAAH!" Kiyohime sent out a fireball at one of them. the Soul Eater was on fire before another one took its place.

"Oh, no you don't!" Tamamo summons three icicles sending them towards it. The Demonic Beast was impaled in many places. "Shit!" the third one dodge the third icicle and ran towards Mashu and Romani.

"Don't worry! I got this one!" Elizabeth jumps down on top of the Soul Eater. It struggles to get free from the Lancer's hold. She twirls her lance and stabs it in the head. She turns to Mashu,

"Are you alright, Mashu?" Elizabeth asked her.

Mashu nodded. "Yes, thank you Lancer-chan-"

Suddenly golden portals appeared and shot out chains impaling almost every Demonic Beast before them.

Everyone froze seeing the chains impaled each Demonic Beasts. "W-What just happened?" Lily stammers.

"They're disappearing," Sirius noted after seeing a Chimera vanish into dust.

"I still can't believe I saved the people who hurt little brother." A voice said.

James gasps remembering his voice when they were imprisoned in the Outpost. "That voice just now."

Mashu looks up to see Kingu floats down from the sky. "Lancer,"

Kingu smirks at the former Demi-Servant. "Mashu, how are you and my nephew?" the Lancer asked.

Mashu stood up clutching on Romani. "Lancer-san, I-I thought you were back at the Outpost."

Kingu scoffs at Mashu's statement. "Ha! You think I would just sit by and watch little brother kill himself in this ridiculous task? Wrong Mashu." He crossed his arms. "Besides, mother wants me to keep an eye on him. It's not my choice to come here."

Mashu giggles at Kingu who looked the other way.


"Uh, who is this person, Ms. Kyirelight ?" McGonagall asked her.

"Oh, this is Lancer-san; He acts as Senpai's older brother of sorts. He and mother care deeply for Senpai's safety." Mashu informs the new Headmistress of Hogwarts.

"Oi, Mashu. Don't go off and tell viable information to anyone." Kingu glares at the former Demi-Servant.

"Well, that's rude," Ginny said hearing his statement to Mashu. "Is he always like this to people?"

"You have no idea," Draco sighs.

McGonagall, James, Lily, Sirius, and Remus looked confused about the conversation. "What's going on? Just now we're running for our lives then we just stop for a nice conversation with Lancer here." Sirius said.

"Um-"

"We better get back to the school, even if the enemies are defeated standing out here is still a danger." Zelrtech points out.

"He's right," Sigurd materializes next to Hermione causing both James and Lily to jump.

"Where did you came from?" James asked the Dragon Slayer.

Sigurd eyed James still doesn't like him for what his actions were. "We were always here, just in astral form. Right?"

Ann, Mary, and Brynhildr materialize when he mentions they were with them. "I-I see," James remembered those two men materialized in front of them back at Dumbledore's office.

"What were you doing in your astral form, Saber?" Remus asked the Dragon Slayer. "The last time I saw you were at the Christmas party."

Remus's eyes widen remembering his face. "Now I remember, you were with Hermione before too."

McGonagall overheard them and was about to say something to Hermione when James steps in. "Wait, what Christmas party?"

Sirius blinks at his friend before rubbing his head. "Yeah, sorry James but both I and Moony here visited Ritsuka back at Christmas and attended his party. That place was fun to be in,"

"If we're done chatting, I suggest we leave." Ann interrupts them, "We can discuss this back at Hogwarts."

"Rider's right," Bedivere said. "Let's get going."

"You all can get there by yourselves, I'm going ahead." Kingu flies up and zips away.

Everyone agreed with the Silver Knight and started to make their way back to the school. Once they made it back, they saw someone they've hadn't seen for almost a year.

"Rider," Mashu said seeing the Aztec Goddess run up to them.

"Ah Mashu, everyone it's so good to see you. I have been placed as a sentry for Hogwarts." Quetzalcoatl smiles.

"Wait, who placed you as sentry, uh…Rider?" McGonagall asked never asked a task of her.

"it's master Kadoc, he's currently inside ensuring everyone made it back here before we placed them in the Hanging Gardens." The Rider said,

"Hanging Gardens?" Hermione heard her.

"What are the Hanging Gardens?" Lily asked.

"Oh, that's a secret. Assassin will be bringing it soon." Quetzalcoatl places her finger on her lips. "Now, let's get you all inside no?" the Goddess waved her hand in the air signaling the Chaldean soldier to open the gates.

Once the gates open, they saw a large military transport in the middle of the courtyard with students staring at it. "W-What is that thing?" McGonagall asked.

"So, the Shadow Border has arrived," Zelretch said. "I heard stories about that vehicle never actually seeing it myself."

"Shadow Border? You mean this thing can travel through shadows?" Sirius asked based on the name.

"Close, this vehicle travels through the Imaginary Numbers Space." Kadoc walks down from the ramp of the Shadow Border with Anastasia by his side.

Most of the wizards look confused about what he was saying. Kadoc sighs remembering that they know nothing about this subject. "Mashu, can you-"

"Hai, The Imaginary Number Space is the space between normal space and reality. Pretty much dimension traveling for a short period of time." Mashu informs them.

"Impressive, so this vehicle can go to alternate realities?" Hermione said with eyes glisten of the technology Chaldea has in their possession.

"Not quite, traveling through dimension is just a theory but we do have the technology to do so however we cannot test it due to the risks," Kadoc informs them. "Now, I need you all to go and do your jobs you have been shadowing back at the Outpost."

The Chaldean wizards nodded and went off to do their jobs. Neville saw Nightingale tending to the wounded in a tent. "I see Berserker, I'm going to help her out." Neville ran off to his mentor.

Kadoc nodded before turning to the group. "Hermione, Ginny, Draco, Daphne, Fred, and George, you six get inside the Shadow Border."

"Inside of the Shadow Border?" Ginny looks at the advanced military vehicle.


"Yes, it serves our Command Center Ginny-chan." Mashu walks over to the vehicle.

"What about us?" Lily steps forward.

Kadoc thought for a moment before answering, "Seeing that you helped us evacuating the stadium, you can either help Berserker and the others with the people or come with us in the Shadow Border to oversee the area."

Lily nodded. "I will help with the injured,"

"And we'll help Lily, right guys?" James asked the marauders.

"Yes, we'll help out where we can," Remus said as the three went off to assist people.

McGonagall walks up to Kadoc who turned to look at her. "Mr. Zemlupus, I would like to join you in this Shadow Border. As the Headmistress of Hogwarts, it's my duty to oversee the battle that's about to take place in this school."

Kadoc was unsure about it letting her inside. "Let her, Kadoc. This is her school." Zelretch said.

"Alright, follow me." Kadoc walks led the two inside the command center.

Hermione and the rest gaped at the inside of the Border, "This is nothing like I imagined the Shadow Border looked like from the inside." Draco said never able to visit here before.

"I expected to be more like the Command room at Chaldea," Hermione added seeing the small but big space.

"Welcome to the Shadow Border everyone." They all turn to see Holmes standing beside the commander's chair.

"Ruler!" they all said seeing the detective.

"Ahem, I'm here as well." Da Vinci (Rider) came out of the door to the hallway.

"Da Vinci!"

Da Vinci smiles hearing her name as the old times. "Ah, I never get tired hearing my name from others."

"W-What are you doing here Da Vinci?" Fred asked the Loli.

"Yeah, I thought you'd be at the Outpost," George added.

"Well, I'm the artificial Servant based on the original Da Vinci for the Border." Da Vinci stated. "Basically I'm the navigator and pilot for this mobile base." She said puffing out her chest in pride.

"Chaldea is getting more and more impressive over time." Daphne sighs.

Hermione walks over to the Papermoon seeing the red dot like the one on Chaldeas has over Brittan. "The red dot is getting bigger than the last time I saw it."

Da Vinci and Holmes turn to the Papermoon, "What did you say?"

Kadoc walks in with the others, "What's going on here?"

"Kadoc, the Papermoon detected a strong magical energy in this Anomaly, this energy is the Holy Grail but something else is boosting the grail," Holmes informs the acting commander.

"Holy grail? You mean the one that King Arthur searched for?" McGonagall was shocked to hear the legendary chalice blessed by Christ.

"Not quite, it's an omnipotent wish-granting device that grants any wish. However, this grail was created to distorts the timeline of Humanity." Anastasia said, "Master has been tasked to collect them or destroy them to set things how they should be."

"The whole reason master was here is to collect one to ensure the future of Humanity." Merlin appears next to her.

McGonagall gasps frighten of his sudden appearance. "You scared me there uh…."

"Caster, My lady," Merlin smirks at the old woman.

"Oh, a-a pleasure to meet you, Caster." McGonagall inclines her head.

Kadoc eyed Hermione, Ginny, Fred, and George who looked like they're about to burst. "What has gotten over you all?"

"I-Its-"Hermione covered her ears hearing the loudest thunder strike she ever heard. "W-What was that?"

"It sounds like thunder but louder." Ginny was frightened as well.

"Ah, the time has come." Merlin walks over to Kadoc. "Kadoc, I believe that it's time to execute the second part of the evacuation."

"Wait evacuation? Why do we need to evacuate when Hogwarts is safe?" McGonagall looking at the Magus.

"My dear Headmistress, there's a battle taking place here. Having all the students and people here is dangerous." Merlin said, "Master doesn't want any casualties for this upcoming battle."


McGonagall nodded understanding what he was saying. "I understand, but how are we going to evacuate everyone?"

"I'm sure you heard Rider saying the Hanging Gardens correct?" Zelretch said.

"Hanging Gardens?"

"Well…" Zelretch leans in not wanting the others to hear.

Outside the Shadow Border Lily and the marauders looked around the courtyard. Everywhere were Chaldean soldiers helping with the frightened wizards and students.

"Here you are." A Chaldean Soldier gave a water bottle to a young girl.

"T-Thank you miss." The first year Gryffindor took the bottle.

"W-We're all going to die," A pureblood Slytherin cries.

"Hey kid, stop your whining. We're doing everything we can to protect your spoiled ass." The buff Chaldean Solider scolds him. "If you ask me, I would just leave you to the Demonic Beast but the director doesn't want that. So keep your mouth shut."

James saw Neville with Berserker assisting her with health checks. "No, you will feel a slight coldness on your chest for a moment." Nightingale placed her stethoscope on the chest of an Auror.

"Oh, that's cold!" The Auror said feeling the cold part of the stethoscope.

"That's what I told you sir; Neville make sure you're taking notes on how to check the heart." The nurse instructed her apprentice.

Neville nodded. "Yes, Berserker." he wrote some notes down on the pad.

"Oh, and go check if everyone is alright," Nightingale added as Neville went to check the other patients.

"Neville," James trailed off seeing his godson working with the nurse.

"Well, he seems to be enjoying himself with Berserker." Sirius watches the former student of Hogwarts check the medical bags. "If you asked me, he's more skilled in this than magic."

"Actually he's more into herbology and potions. I was his professor for a year, I took notice that he's not interested in becoming an Auror." Remus watches his former student working. "Geez, if his grandmother heard about, she'll have a gasket." He scratches his head.

"DON'T TOUCH ME!" Lily turns to the right hearing a familiar voice that belongs to her son.

"Look, kid, you clearly have scratches from tripping coming here." A Chaldean soldier said having difficulties with the director's brother. "Just let me treat that cut on your knees."

"NO! I WON'T LET A MUGGLE TOUCH ME!" Charles exclaims trying to get free from the soldier's grasps.

Dumbledore walks over to them with the same smile he always used. "Now sir, you have-"

"Quiet old man, you have done enough damage as it is." The soldier yelled at him.

"But-"

"Albus Dumbledore, you have no right to be involved in a Chaldea's businesses." Amelia walks over to them with enforcers from the Policies.

"Amelia, what are you doing here? I thought you'll be at the corrupted Ministry- "Dumbledore's hands were handcuffed, and his mouth was taped with a silencing talisman.

"HEY WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO THE HEADMASTER!?" Charlies demanded.

"Charles Potter, this is Policies's business. You too have no right to be involved." Amelia said taking Dumbledore away to a transport. Charles sneers at the Mages taking the 'Leader of Light' away, he then noticed his family staring at him.

Lily sighs walking towards him. "Charles just let the man treat your wound."

"Why should I listen to you?" Charles snaps at his mother.

"Charles! That's not how-"James felt a hand on his arms. He turns to see Charlie shaking his head.

"Don't, Lily will handle this." Charlies said.

"But-"

"James you know your son, he has the same fiery rage as Lily," Charles stated remembering what Sirius told him about Lily back then. "If you ask me, she's the one who knows how to dispel his rage."

James nodded to his father. "I understand."


"Charles, stop this. You're acting like a three-year-old who didn't get his way." Lily scolds him.

"But I'm the Boy-Who-Lived! I should have everything in my way!" Charles reasons with her. "Everything changed for the worst thanks to that dark W-"

"Don't you dare call your brother a Dark Wizard, Charles!" Lily scolds him.

Charles flinched never been scolded by his mother.

"Your brother sacrifices everything for this world, he is willing to sacrifice himself to save everyone else." Lily started tearing up. "Stop this attitude of yours, Charles, the world doesn't revolve around you." she sighs.

Charles remained silent watching his mother wipes away her tears. He rolled his eyes and took his arms away from the soldier. He glares back at her before storming off to be alone.

James stares at his wife scolding their son only for him to walk away from her. "What am I going to do with that boy? I spoiled him too much."

"We can't undo what has been done already James, the best thing is to try to stir him in the right direction," Charlie advises his son. "Parenthood isn't easy, you know this for everyone; even Ritsuka and Mashu."

"I would have known, I bet Romani cry all night keeping them up." James jokes with his father.

"Yeah, he would cry at random times," Charlie added. "What surprises me is how quick both of them were to calm him down."

"Sounds like they have experience with children before," Sirius added to their conversation.

"Indeed they have." Muramasa walks over to them.

"Hello Saber, I'm surprised you're here instead of the forgery at the Outpost." Charlie smiled.

"Eh, it was those Casters. They told me that I was needed to here for some reason." Muramasa waved his hand in the air.

"So what exactly have Ritsuka done to be so good with children?" Remus asked the Pseudo-Servant.

Muramasa chuckles remembering his adoptive grandchildren. "Back at Shimosa, he and another of his Servants took great care of my adoptive grandchildren. I can tell from the way he talks to my granddaughter that he has experienced before."

"That's kind of him," Sirius said not surprised that he would do that.

"The kid is a kind person; he won't decline any request from anyone if he deems them to be good." The Saber said.

The gates opened causing everyone to look who is entering. "MASTER!" the Servants gather around relieved that he was able to escape.

Ritsuka was surrounded by his Servant. "Master, are you alright?" Sitonai asked.

"Are you unharmed?" Kiyohime asked.

"How did you escape Voldemort's clutches?" Lakshmibai asked as well.

"Who are the two Servants with you master?" Gareth asked.

Ritsuka chuckles a bit before his smile disappears. "I know you all have questions, but it'll have to wait. Voldemort has done the unthinkable with the grail." He informs his Servants.

"He has fused himself with the Holy Grail." The Servants gasps, a method that only a few survive.

McGonagall, Zelretch, Kadoc, Hermione, Ginny, Fred, George walked out of the Shadow Border to see what's the commotion. "RITSUKA!" The children ran over to him excited to see him.

"Hey guys," Ritsuka waved. "It's good to see you all fine but it can wait, Caster?"

Merlin metalizes in front of him. "You called master?"

"Is Assassin and Alter Ego set?" Ritsuka asked the Magus of Flowers.


"Why yes, they're all set with food and water along with defensive measures for the battle to come," Merlin said with a cheery face.

"You foresaw this haven't you, Caster?" Ritsuka sighs.

"Indeed, we have master." Merlin smiles.

Ritsuka sighs before looking at him again. "Caster open the portal to the Hanging Gardens."

"As you command master." Merlin materializes his staff in his hand. Three bolts of magic were released from his staff to the ground and exploded as an archaic portal appeared. "There we go!"

The wizards' gasps at the spell performed by the Magus before them. "Assassin has confirmed that the portal has appeared in the gardens, master." Arturia walks over to him with Amakusa.

"Now we need you, master, to say something to the crowd before you." Amakusa eyeing the wizards staring at him.

"Right," Ritsuka stood before the crowd of wizards.

Many saw Ritsuaka whispering among themselves about him. James, Lily, Sirius, and Remus saw him standing before them. "What is he doing?" Sirius wonder.

"I have no clue," James added.

"I know, he's addressing everyone here," Charlie said observing his grandson's next action.

Ritsuka took in a deep breath and look straight at the wizards. "I know that some of you dislike me just for being different from the rest of you, while the rest of you admire me for the same reason. But now of all times must listen to me,"

Many wizards whispers to themselves, they stopped once he coughs to regain their attention. "I'll be blunt about this; Voldemort has obtained a power that is dangerous for anyone to handle including me. my true purpose here is to retrieve it and place it within the vault of Chaldea."

They all gasps at him saying the Dark Lord's name, they were about to panic, screaming in fear of the Dark Lord newly found power. Ritsuka was trying to calm the crowd when a loud metal clanging on the ground echoes in the air catching their attention. "Quiet!" Ivan materializes behind them.

They stared at the horror before them, the word that describes him was a monster in their eyes.

"Thank you, Rider." Ritsuka thanked the Lostbelt Servant.

"R-Rider!?" Everyone was shocked that this thing is a Servant.

"YOU GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!?" A Slytherin

"Everyone!" Ritsuka yelled gaining their attention one more time. "If you would please give me a moment of your time once again," they quiet down once more to hear what he got to say.

"This place is no longer safe for all of you; however I have my Servant prepare her fortress for all to take refuge," Ritsuka said giving some relief to those who are worried. "In order to go to the Hanging Gardens, you need to take this portal there."

Jeanne steps up next to him. "I understand you're all scared right now, I am too, but by my flag, we Servants of Chaldea will do anything to ensure you're all safe." Her words resonating with hope and inspiration. The wizards' eyes were filled with hope, believing in her words they decide to follow what Ritsuka request.


Ritsuka smiles at Jeanne who looked back at him. "Thank you, Jeanne." He thanked her.

"Any time, master." Jeanne inclines her head.

Ritsuka looks back at everyone, "Ruler will be conducting an organized line, the portal won't be able to withstand a group of people going in at once."

"If everyone would please line up in a single file then we can start letting people through. Children below thirteen, elders, and those who are ill will be entering first, then the teens, and finally the adults. " Jeanne guides them to the portal with some help from some Servants.

Ritsuka walks over to the Knights and the Chaldean wizards. "Mr. Fujimaru, I'm happy to see you alright,"

"Thank you, Headmistress, glad to see you safe along with everyone." Ritsuka smiles.

"How did you escape Voldemort, Ritsuka?" Ginny asked.

"Well, I had help." Ritsuka looked over to Himiko and Saitō helping Jeanne and the others.

Ginny and the others looked over to the new Servants with the wizards. "Two new Servants? B-But how did you do it when you are restrained?" Hermione asked.

"Alter Ego," Ritsuka responded, he looked around him getting a bit worried. "Can you guys tell me where-"

"Mashu is in the Shadow Border with Romani, they're safe." Kadoc ensures him.

"Thank you Kadoc." Ritsuka started to head over to the transport.

"Uh, Ritsuka where are you going?" Draco asked.

Ritsuka turns around. "To see my son and fiancé," he said walking off.

"Did he say, fiancé?" Fred asked.

Hermione starts to giggle, "I think he did," She said as Ginny joins in after hearing what he told them.

Zelretch chuckles. "So he finally asks the question, good for them."

"Yes, both of them are perfect for each other," Arthur said watching him entering the Shadow Border.


Avenger of the Gallows watches Hogwarts from a far distance in the trees. "It seems your plan is going as plan Avenger." Her face frowned after hearing the voice of her fellow Servant.

"Foreigner, why are you here?" Avenger asked him not looking at the Servant.

"He's here on my request Avenger." Her body froze after hearing his distorted voice.

She turns around to a hologram of their master, he wore a black shirt, black pants, and a grayish-blue hooded jacket. Along with it was white armor on his chest and arms, over his eyes was a white mask with two red markings on it.

"Master, what are-"

"Avenger, I sent you here to retrieve some items, I even sent Lancer to assist you when he was supposed to keep things in check with those heroes and yet you're fooling around here with the enemy." He was angry at the Servant. "What were you thinking!?"

"Master, I have a plan to retrieve the items you requested." Avenger reasons with him. "I had Voldemort absorb the power of the Grail and convinced him to attack Hogwarts!"

"You are aware that Ritsuka Fujimaru has Servants who can easily defeat him and his followers!" The master scolds her.

Avenger flinched from his voice, Foreigner chuckles at her predicament. "Y-Yes, I'm aware master; that's why he's the perfect distraction."

The master stares at Avenger. "Distraction…you have set him up to fail?"

"Yes, I have told him about the Beasts Servants and how they're powerful for normal Servants to face," Avenger said.

"Did you mention the Grand Servants?" The master asked not expressing anything towards her.

"N-No, I purposely left that part out." Avenger said, "That's why when Voldemort attacks the Chaldeans will focus on him and not on my task."

Foreigner looks at Avenger then their master hoping he'll be angry at her for coming up with a stupid idea. "Make it quick Avenger, I want you back at Eden."

"Very well master." Avenger inclines her head.

"Once you retrieve the items, you'll bring them to me in person." The master said before turning to Foreigner. "Foreigner, report back to Paris."

"Yes, master." Foreigner of London inclines his head. Their master signs off from the hologram leaving the two alone.

"Well Foreigner, it seems our master supports my plan." Avenger smirks at him.

"Tch," Foreigner turns his head raising his hand in the air opening a portal. He steps inside eyeing her before closing it.

Avenger smirks making her way deep into the Forbidden Forest.
