Ritsuka and his Servants arrive at the surface, ready to engage against Chaldea if neccesary.
The Crypter alongside his Servants were moving towards the surface, going through the city while being watched by the civilians of Atlantis.
"Master, is there a problem? You look nervous" - Medusa said to Ritsuka, as she noticed he was sweating and his hands were slightly trembling.
"I'm a bit concerned about what might happen when my sister arrives, that's all" -
"We need to remember our mission Master, to defend Atlantis and those inhabiting it" - said Heracles while preparing his bow to fight.
Ritsuka looked at his Servant Heracles, as he was his trump card. The Crypter had summoned him to be his ace in case all other defenses fell, not only that, but he also boosted him using special machines called "Klironominia", in his case giving him the Poseidon one with permission from the Lostbelt King, which gave him increased power whenever he fought near water, something very useful in their current condition.
Same thing went to Hyppolita and Medusa, who both recieved the Poseidon Klironominia. However, when the Lostbelt King asked Ritsuka if he wanted to recieve a Klironominia of his own, he decided that he was going to take a different one, the Demeter Klironominia, with permission from the goddess.
After walking for a while, they arrived at an entrance to the surface, emerging in a small island surrounded by a huge number of atlanteans ships, commanded by a single man in armor.
"General Odysseus" - Ritsuka said as he shook hands with him.
"Ah, Fujimaru, I thought you would stay back in the city" - the Rider Servant said.
"Nonsense, I need to be here, this is my sister we're talking about" -
"Understood, then you can join us" -
The Crypter and his Servants followed Odysseus to one of his ships, which was full of Atlantean soldiers ready for Chaldea's arrival.
"I'll go ahead and prepare to fire" - Hyppolita said as she started to jump from boat to boat.
"Medusa, Heracles, stay with me" - Ritsuka ordered - "Be ready" -
As he was looking at the endless sea in front of him, Ritsuka started to remember...
He remembered walking to Chaldea with his sister.
He remembers watching her fall asleep while Olga Marie explained everything.
He remembers how he got in the Coffins with the rest of the A-Team.
He remembers fire engulfing the Command Room and everything fading to black.
He remembers being woken up by a strange figure he'd never seen before, offering a single mission, which he accepted...
The mission of replacing the earth with a pruned world.
A Lostbelt...
"Master, they're here" - Medusa said, pointing at something slowly rising from the water.
"It's time sister, show me what you learned in Chaldea" - Ritsuka said as the atlantean soldiers readied their weapons to attack.
Hyppolita raised her bow, preparing three arrows to fire, all boosted by her own magical energy and the Poseidon Klironominia.
From the depths, Chaldea's transport, the Shadow Border, emerged, but what confused the atlanteans was that someone was standing on top of the ship, someone with golder armor.
In a second, thousand of portals opened and started to fire weapons upon the ships and the soldiers, piercing several of them.
Hyppolita shot several arrows at incredible speed to counter the rapid barrage of projectiles, blocking several of them before shooting one against their attacker, but it was blocked.
"I see she opened up with the bigs guns" - Ritsuka said as he looked at the Servant on top of the border.
"Shall we go to fight Master?" - Medusa asked.
"Not for the moment. I know my sister, she won't send a single enemy to fight the entire fleet, let's wait a bit" -
Back with Hyppolita, she exchanged looks with her opponent before preparing her bow to fire once more, but this time, she had help.
The atlantean ships started to open fire against the Shadow Border, trying to destroy the vehicle, all while more Servants left the Border to protect it.
"Seems like things are about to get interesting" - Odysseus said - "Are you going to fight Fujimaru?" -
Ritsuka simply looked at the Servants that emerged, 4 in total plus the one alredy above the Border.
"Cover us Odysseus, let's push Chaldea back" - the Crypter said before being joined by Heracles and Medusa in charging against the Servants.
They then took their objectives: Heracles decided to handle two Servants that went to the left side, while Medusa and Ritsuka would handle those that went right, confident that Hyppolita would keep her own opponent in check.
The Crypter and his Saber arrived to one of the ships, where they witnessed two Servants defeating the atlantean soldiers with relative ease before taking a look at them.
"You're the Crypter of this world?" - one of the Servants asked.
"Indeed I am, and you're my sister's forces, she surely sent you to destroy this ships from the inside right?" - Ritsuka asked.
"I see you're one of quick thinking. Very well then, my name is Artoria Pendragon" -
"I'm the Hound of Ulster, Cu Chulainn, we'll take both of you down" - the Servant next to her said.
"If that's the case... I'm Ritsuka Fujimaru, the Crypter of this Lostbelt, and together with my Servants, we'll make Chaldea fall once and for all" -
"Master, allow me to take on the Saber" - Medusa asked.
"Do it, the Lancer is mine" -
With that, both sides engaged.
Medusa quickly showed the power of the Poseidon Klironominia inside of her. Thanks to fighting near the water, her power had increased dramatically, allowing her to quickly move around Artoria while landing several hits with Chrysaor.
Ritsuka, on the other hand, was having somewhat of a hard time handling his enemy, even with the Klironominia, but he was at least able to put up a fight.
"Surprising, you're capable of matching me, a blessing from the gods?" - Chulainn asked.
"How about you test it on your own?" - Ritsuka answered, hitting him on the head and making him take a few steps back.
He was determined to push Chaldea back, and wasn't going to allow himself to fall.
