AN: Enjoy the Chapter.


Ch 21 The Archer

Archer of Phoenicia saw the Shielder blocked his arrow meant to eliminate the foreign master. "Tch," He reloads his bow aiming again, he shot the same window entrance hearing the same clang of metal. 'Damn,' he reloads another arrow, going to another angle.

'Archer kill James too after that take Lily.' Archer's master orders him.

"But master, Humanity's final master. He's a threat to your plans." Archer reasons with his master before feeling something. "He must take priority-"

'Don't make me us a Command spell Archer, you are a Servant, my slave.' His master threatens him with a Command spell. 'You best do my bidding, Servant!' he exclaims.

Archer sighs, "Very well mast-" The blonde man blocked a sword attack with his bow, he stumbles back gazing at his attacker's eyes.

"You attempted to assassinate my master." Lanling drew his blade, staring at the enemy through his mask. "I do not take kindly to those ideal threats." He prostrates his sword, ready to face the enemy.

"You're over your head, Saber. You can't possibly defeat me." Archer points his arrow toward the Prince before sensing another presence.

A bolt of lightning came reigning down on where he stood. Archer manages to dodge the attack, looking to his right he saw Parvati standing on the roof of the Three Broomsticks. "Saber, I shall support you." The Goddess points her husband's lance at Lanling, activating her skill, Blessing of the Goddess over.

Lanling gains some healing factors, he points his sword at the Archer. "I Saber, Servant of my master Ritsuka Fujimaru shall defeat you, Archer." The Prince announced.

Everyone looked through the windows seeing a battle only a few could witness. "What- How did they get up there?" An Auror saw the Saber and Lancer standing on the roof, not either of them slipping from the roof.

'Defeat the weaklings, Archer!' His master order of him. 'That's an order!'

Archer nodded, preparing his bow. "I am Archer of Phoenicia; I serve the master of Eden. Now Chaldeans begone!" He released his arrows at Lanling before he slashes it in half.

Parvati twirls her husband's lance and shot thunderbolts at the enemy. He dodges by jumping to the other roof where he released another arrow. "Saber! Watch out!" She warns the Prince.

"Hmm!" Lanling dodges the arrows, slashing them in half before jumping to the other roof. He and Archer's weapons clash with one another before jumping back.

Everyone tried to see what is happening, but they can only see Parvati launching bolts of lightning supporting Lanling from the side.

"Merlin! I can't see what's happening!" Jamie said trying to see the battle.

"Minister, we must leave." The Auror took Fudge's arms. "It's not safe here."

Fudge was still in shock, frightened that an assassination attempt was made right here in the safest place on earth. "N-No! I will not leave! This place is safe!" he proclaims, pointing at the Auror group. "Protect me with your life, Captain Potter you and your misfits arrest the one who tries to kill me!" He whines, letting the Aurors move him to a safe place.


'What a baby,' Sirius rolled his eyes, but this situation seems serious.

Lily looks over to Ritsuka deep in thought, "Ritsuka are they really going to fight in the village? They're a lot of people here." She informs her 'son'.

'Parvati, Lanling, drive Archer away from Hogsmeade to the open field right outside.' Ritsuka orders his Servants,

'I'm afraid we cannot. He's fixated on killing you.' Parvati said sensing his determination from where she stood.

Then a thought raced in his mind, he turns to Galahad, Hinako, and Mashu. "Hinako stay with Mashu." He orders the Assassin.

Hinako quickly follows on, she nodded understanding her role. "Understood," she walks next to Mashu ready to attack anyone who harms her.

"Shielder, you're with me." Ritsuka made his way to the door.

Galahad nodded, following his master's lead. "Understood, master." He looks up still hearing the weapons clashing.

"Assassin, keep the people here safe." He orders the Dancer to stay behind with the customers.

Mata Hari nodded, placing down her tray. "You can rely on me, master." She replied,

Remus grabs Ritsuka's arms, he turns around seeing the concern on the werewolf's face. "Where do you think you're going? It's dangerous out there!"

"And it's dangerous for you all to be here with me." Ritsuka retorted. Everyone looked at the Magus arguing with Remus. "I'm going to draw Archer of Phoenicia's attention away from here and into the field right outside the village."

"WHAT!?" Everyone exclaims at the risky and dangerous plan he had.

James grabs both of his 'son's' shoulders. His eyes were filled with horror if his plan failed. "Y-You can't! That man almost kill you!" he cries out his concerns.

"James's right, that's a risky plan!" Sirius exclaims, supporting his friend's worries. "You might get killed trying!"

Ginny grabs ahold of Ritsuka's arms, hugging it tightly. "H-Harry, I-I'm scared. Hold me like you always do." she smiles, snuggling against his arms.

Mashu witness the red-haired girl clinging to her husband, she hid her jealousy behind a fake smile. "Mashu," Hinako calls her watching her walking to Ritsuka.

Ritsuka tries to pull away from Ginny's grip only for it to get tighter. "Ginny, let go. I need to leave now." He said trying to get free,

"No! You need to protect me, Harry." Ginny whines, gipping his arm tighter. She looks up at him with puppy dog eyes. "I won't let you go until you run away with me."

Soon all the Fangirls crowed around him, begging for him to protect them too.

Ritsuka can't believe this, they all are desperate to have him stay with them that they disregard their own safety. "Look i-" Suddenly he felt a tug, strong enough to pull him out of Ginny's grasps.

'Who dares-' Ginny turns around seeing Mashu, clutching onto her boyfriend's arms. "What do you think you're doing?" Lavender demanded, seeing Harry in her arms.

"He's doesn't belong to you purple hair freak!" Padma points at her, seething that she got her arms around her prince.

Ginny walks up to Mashu ready to fight for her man when she looks back at her. "Ginny-san, please keep in mind that this is my husband, not yours. If you ever try to get your hands on him again-"

Ginny scoffs, thinking a Muggle like her can't do anything. "And what? You're just a Muggle, you can't do anything, unlike we Witches!" she gave her a smug look,

Galahad was about to defend her Pseudo-sister when he senses something in her that he thought she doesn't have…rage. "Oh I beg to differ," Mashu opens her violet eyes, an intense glare shot at the girls.

They felt her glare, they step back feeling fear for another woman instead of Ginny. Ginny too felt her glared at her, but she doesn't give in, unlike the others. She stood her ground facing her. "W-What's that supposed to do? scare me?" She mocks Mashu as she walks up to her.

Mashu leans in her ears, "(It's a warning, the next time you'll be seeing the end of a barrel of a gun.)" Ginny scoffs before she continues. "(I destroy beings greater than me and Ritsuka, try to get between me and my Senpai then you'll see what happens.)" she leans back walking to Ritsuka, leaving a shocked Ginny behind.

Ritsuka looks down at Mashu, wondering what she said. "What did you say to her Mashu?"

Mashu returns to her regular self. "Me and Ginny-san just have a girl-to-girl talk." She ensures her husband. "Nothing to worry about, now go with Onii-san." She smiles at him.

Ritsuka nodded turning to Galahad. "Shielder, let's go. Saber and Lancer can't hold Archer forever." He walks over to the door.

"Yes, master." Galahad followed him to the door, waiting to move.

Lily walks up to her 'daughter-in-law', seeing if she is even concern about Ritsuka. "Mashu, aren't you one-bit concern about Ritsuka?" she asked her, looking at him ready to take off. "He's risking his life if he goes out there."

Mashu looks back at her, "Lily-san, Ritsuka, and I traveled to many places with danger." She explains. "As long he has the will to move forward then he'll be fine, I just know it." The former Demi-Servant ensures the worried mother.

"You seem to have a lot of faith in Ritsuka," Jamie commented, standing next to her.

Mashu giggles, looking at the red-haired boy. "Well, he did save me and many lives. I have fate in him no matter what."


Lanling jumps back after another strike at Archer. "We're hardly giving any damage to him." Lanling dodges an arrow from the Archer, the arrow hits the top roof sprouting another vine.

Parvati raises her husband's lance letting lightning reign down at the Archer. "He's quick on his feet and his archery is on its peek." The Goddess shot a barrage of lightning through her lance, intercepting the arrows. "I'm beginning to think he has something increasing his parameters." She jumps back seeing another arrow.

"A Grail?" Lanling suggested, blocking the arrow with his sword.

Parvati shook her head, wiping her lance to block the arrows. "More of a boost, probably from the Anomaly." She suggested.

"Tch," Lanling dodge another arrow, landing next to the Lancer. "Whatever it is, we can discuss it later." He said running along to the rooftops with Parvati.

Archer shot more arrows at the two, trying to hit them. "Just what are they planning?" he said before hearing a loud bang. He looks down at the Three Broomsticks, seeing the Chaldean master with the Shielder running on the pavement.

'Archer! Follow him!' His master orders the Archer.

Archer obliges jumping roof to roof, following the master through the village. Lanling and Parvati saw that Archer is following their master through the village. "He's following master," the Goddess commented.

"Then there's no time to waste." The Prince got a message from their master, they jumped to the other side, following the plan of his master devised.

James and his two friends look out of the tavern seeing his 'son' disappear in the village. "Ritsuka…"

Sirius and Remus ran out, turning to the worried father. "Come on! Ritsuka needs our help!" Sirius announced, following where the Magus ran. Some brave enough followed the Marauders, wanting to see how the battle concludes.

"Right, let's hope we make it in time." James ran in the direction that his 'son' ran, Sirius and Remus join him determine to save him.

Ritsuka ran with his enhanced legs passing buildings, Galahad ran beside him with his shield out. "Is he following us, Shielder?" Ritsuka asked his Servant.

An arrow whoosh by, missing his head by an inch. "Definitely master," Galahad replied seeing the open space straight ahead. "Master, just a few more feet out of the town." He steps forward, blocking an arrow with his shield.

Archer saw the open field, by then he knew they're leading him out of the city, "Master, they're leading me into a trap. We can-"

'No! I don't care if it's a trap, stay on his trail and kill him! You're a Divine Spirit you can take him and his weak Servants!' His master orders, not thinking rationally about the situation.

Archer sighs, he knew that this was the wrong move. He reaches the end of the house and jumps down on the grassy field. He saw the foreign master and Shielder Servant standing in the open, ready to face him. 'What are you planning?' he thought, stopping just a few feet away from them.

"Archer of Phoenicia! You're an Anomaly Servant, correct?" Ritsuka asked the black-armored Archer.

Archer nodded, "Indeed, I have been summoned by my master to defeat Chaldea." He explains to the master. "If things were different I would of love a battle of true warriors, however-"

"This is not the case." Ritsuka sighs, knowing this already. "Archer knows we will defeat you. Retreat now is possible, if your master knows this, then I highly suggest it." he offers him the options he has.

'Don't listen to him! KILL HIM, ARCHER!' The master orders the Servant.

"I do apologize Humanity's final master, but I cannot." Archer reloads his bow with three arrows. "I must follow my master's wishes, farewell." He paused seeing a bright shine in the sky.

Archer blocked a sword slash with his bow, seeing a flash of light passed him. "What!?" he was dumbfounded that a Saber manage to take a slash at him. (Insert Fate/Grand Order: Zettai Majuu Sensen Babylonia OST Light wind)

James and the others arrived at the scene, "Did we miss it?" he asked seeing a young woman standing in front of Ritsuka.

"Wait? Who is she?" Remus sniffs, not able to recognize this scent of hers.

Sirius saw the black-haired girl; her armor is a bit revealing but his animal instinct is telling him to run. "I'm betting that's one of Ritsuka's Servants." He smirks, a bit jealous that he has many beautiful women in his harem.

"WHAT!?" Ginny exclaims, arriving at the scene. "Just how many women he has? Don't he knows that's a crime of love!" She whines, sounded crazy back there.

Archer regains his stamina before looking at the woman who slashed at him. Her katana's blade is glowing pink, enhanced to able to go toe-to-toe with his Divinity. "Who are you?"

The woman looks at him, "I am the Servant of my friend, Fujimaru Ritsuka. Servant Rider, here to defend him at any cost!" she proclaims her resolve to the enemy. "Now Archer of Phoenicia…"

Ushiwakamaru stands straight, going to her battle position. "Your master is a foolish one, thinking that he can attack Fujimaru-dono in public." She points her blade at the Archer. "As a Servant of his, you must repent for his foolish actions!"

Archer scoffs, feeling this fight is going to be interesting. "Very well, Rider" he reloads his bow, aiming at her. "Let's see how your resolve will last!" three arrows were released at her.

Ushiwakamaru smiles before disappearing and reappearing in front of him. "Too slow!" she smirks, slashing at him, three bolts of lightning came down destroying the arrows before it hits Ritsuka and Galahad.

"SHE FAST!" James just blinked seeing her in front of Ritsuka then reappeared in front of the blonde man.

Ushiwakamaru jumps back in the air, dodging arrows from him. "Feel the power of my blade!"

Archer gritted his teeth, seeing her speed can keep up with his arrows. "Ha!" He released some more arrows before she vanished. "Where did she-" He froze seeing Ushiwakamaru appeared in front of him. 'How did-' he felt her katana's blade across his chest, cutting diagonally

"What are they? They can't be just mere familiars." Remus commented, he gasps seeing Lanling appeared behind him. His sword's blade is pink, enchanted like Ushiwakamaru.

Archer didn't have time to react, he felt two blades slashed his back and chest. "Don't you think that we would just abandon our master like that?" He turns around seeing Lanling behind him, his blade at an upward position from his attack.

"How did-" They jump over to where their master was.

Archer breathes out after the double attack. He looks at the Chaldeans, ready to strike again. 'ARCHER! DO IT NOW!'

"Y-Yes, master." Archer reloads his bow, doing his attack once more before a red triceratops crashes into him, causing him to fly to a tree.

The wizards' gasps seeing the skeleton of an extinct animal smashes right at the enemy. "Where did that came from!?" Jamie exclaims seeing the three Goddesses standing on the hill to the right.

"Did they plan this?" Colin questions seeing the dinosaur disappeared.


"Going with the plan you used back in the Seventh Singularity, nice call Fujimaru," Ereshkigal commented, dismissing her soul cage.

Ishtar floats next to her twin sister, her hand aiming at the Archer. She smirks, having the Anomaly Servant in her sights. "I have a clear shot, Fujimaru," she informs him.

Ritsuka sighs, he looks at the Archer of Phoenicia struggling to get up. "Take it."

Ishtar smiles, "Alright!" three golden lights raced towards the Archer before black vines shielded him from the attack.

"What!" Ishtar's eyes widened, seeing the vines blocked her attack.

The vines circle around the injured Archer before they disappeared. "Where did he go?" Sirius looks around, searching where he has gone. (End song)

Ritsuka walks over to where Archer was, he inspects the area seeing any clues on his whereabouts. "Master, be careful." Parvati walks behind him.

"He's gone." Ritsuka sighs, remembering the black vine before. "It seems Avenger of the Gallows is here,"

"The vines, I take it." Lanling guessed remembering reading the report from before back home.

Ritsuka looks at the Saber, standing behind him. "Yes, we need to be careful from now on. Who knows where she'll pop up." He said stretching a bit. "Now that settled, we need deal with them." he eyed the watchers of the fight.

"Master, be wary of Fudge and his followers," Galahad informs him. "They'll try something like their counterparts did back home." He warns his master, dismissing his shield in his hands.

Ritsuka nodded, noticing James, Sirius, and Remus rushing over to him. "RITSUKA!" they called out to him, relieved that he's safe.

James embraced his 'son' tight, beyond relived that he manages to survive the whole ordeal. "Ritsuka," his eyes were watery from the tears, gazing upon him. "Don't you ever do that again, you made us worry back there." He sniffs.

Ritsuka smiles at his 'father'. "It's the only way to protect you, besides I dealt with worse before." He explains, saying it like it's no big deal.

"It doesn't matter, you scared the living daylights out of us!" Remus exclaims, checking his being.

"Sorry about that." Ritsuka chuckles before looking at Ushiwakamaru. "Rider go with Lancer and try to track down Archer of Phoenicia, with any luck we might be able to find where his master is hiding."

Ushikwaka nodded, understanding her orders. "As you wish, Fujimaru-dono. I'll leave right away." She vanished from her spot, leaving the scene.

Sirius blinks from the disappearance of the Rider. He shook his head, finding something more significant than the Servant. "Rituska, you need to be checked by Madam Pomfrey." He stated, expressing his worries.

"Lord Sirius, master is currently well." Lanling steps forward. "We as his Servants, no harm shall fall upon him." he ensures the dog with concern in his eyes.

James agrees with Sirius, after the attempt on Ritsuka's life he needs to be sure if he's truly alright. "Padfoot is right, at least let her check you for any injury." He pleas with him. "Just to make us feel ensure nothing has happened to you."

Ritsuka sighs, looking at his Servants. "It's your call, Fujimaru." Ishtar floats to him. "Personally, I find it best to get out of here before that journalist finds us." The Goddess suggested, not wanting to deal with her.

"I have to agree, our presence around the Wizarding World will draw unneeded attention to us if she writes about us." Ereshkigal fully supports her twin's suggestion. She too shares the same feelings about the woman.

"Alright, lead the way, James." Ritsuka asked his 'father' to take him to see the healer.

James nodded, noticing the blonde reporter coming out of the crowd. "Not a moment too soon," he said, spotting her from a distance. "We should go now Ritsuka."

Ritsuka nodded, "Right, Lancer tell Hinako and Mashu to meet me at our office." He orders the Indian Goddess.

Parvati nodded, "Very well master." She dematerializes, going to inform Mashu and the others of the plan.

Remus smell Rita's scent close by, he turns to the group. "We better get going, she's here." They nodded and went off, just in time.

"Ah! Mr. Potter if you would-" Rita froze realizing she was a bit too late.


"Alright, everything seems in order." Poppy Pomfrey checks over Ritsuka's shirtless body. "I must say, you Mr. Fujimaru have a tone and healthy body. Color me impressed." She took off her gloves and place them in the trash.

"Thank you, I try to keep up with my routine every morning," Ritsuka commented to her complement. Ereshkigal and Ishtar looked away from their master, blushing at the sight of his body.

"Well, that's impressive." James commented seeing his 'son's' abs. "I have just a two-pack, but you have six!" He exclaims, seeing his body.

"Yeah, we work out time to time, but daily life caught up to us." Remus jokes at their flabbiness. "No wonder Mashu has fallen for you." he motions to his body and looks.

Sirius scoffs, shaking his head. "Not only that but your recklessness too, by now I'm sure the Fan club girls' love for you increase tenfold from your bravery." He jokes with him.

Ritsuka laughs lightly, not wanting the attention except Mashu. "I wouldn't want that, if anything my Servants should be given the credit." He motions to Lanling and the others. "I just came up with the plan, that's all."

"Master, you're being modest." Lanling stood next to him. "Without you ordering us, we will argue amongst ourselves."

"He has a point, master. Your strategies have proven to be affected in battles." Galahad supported Lanling's claims. "Try to give yourself credit."

"Listen to your Servants, Ritsuka." James said, looking at his 'son'. "Even if your plan before was risky, it saved a lot of lives there." He smiles.

Ritsuka blushed, scratching his cheeks. "Thanks, I appreciate it, everyone-"

"Cornelius, this is highly unprecedently." They heard Dumbledore's muffled voice speaking to the Minister. "Mr. Fujimaru needs his rest after the whole ordeal-"

"Headmaster Dumbledore, Mr. Potter has saved many lives today including my own." Fudge's voice was muffled behind the door. "He must be rewarded by me, everyone must know that he has returned!" The doors burst opened by the Minister's entourage.

"Here it comes." Ereshkigal sighs, waiting to hear what Fudge has now.

Fudge saw Ritsuka sitting on the foot of the bed, he smiles walking over to him. "Mr. Potter! You are a hero, my boy." He exclaims expressing his gratitude. "Your actions have saved my life and others as well."

Ritsuka felt uncomfortable, one being shirtless in front of the Minister and two Rita was there with her cameraman ready. "You're very welcome-"

Fudge went over grabbing his body forcing him to his feet. "Come now Harry, let us take a picture of us for the Daily Prophet! Big smiles now." Rita's cameraman took a couple of shots of them, disregarding that Ritsuka was without a shirt. "Now then Harry let's discuss your Servants, I believe-"

"Cornelius, this is hardly the time and place for this." Dumbledore saw the discomfort on Ritsuka, trying to stop this. "We can set up a date and-"Galahad steps in front of the camera, blocking him from taking any more shots.

Fudge blinks, seeing the young white-haired man standing in front of him. "Excuse me, young man, you're blocking the camera's view-"

Ishtar and Ereshkigal took their master away from this man, trying to be all chummy with him. Lanling handed him back his shirt and jacket before walking up to him. "Minister Fudge, if you would like to speak to my master then you must take it up to his secretary Koyanskaya." He proclaims,

"S-S-Secretary? Harry Potter has no secretary!" Fudge exclaims, disliking how this masked man is preventing him from speaking to his puppet. "Who are you anyway to speak to me the Minister, like that?"

"I am Saber. Servant of Ritsuka Fujimaru among others," Lanling reintroduce himself to the corrupted man. "Our master's safety is our priority, even from politicians." He explains.

"I-I know you! You can't just-"

"Saber has a point," Dumbledore walks up to Fudge, with a grandfatherly look in his pale blue eyes. "Professor Fujimaru has an important class tomorrow. If you like to speak to him, I believe Ms. Koyanskaya would be delighted to make that appointment." He informs the Minister, trying to get Ritsuka away from the man.

Fudge looks around him seeing most people support Dumbledore's suggestion. He fixes up himself before walking over to the Aurors. "V-Very well, I would like to meet this Koyan-what's you call it," he said, hiding his nervousness.

Dumbledore nodded, thankful that he accepted it. "I'll have Professor Fujimaru send her to my office for an appointment scheduling." He looks over to Ritsuka, winking at him.

Ritsuka nodded, grateful to have Fudge off his back. He puts on his shirt and jacket before looking at the Marauders. "Thank you for today, even if it was interrupted by the enemy."

"Anytime Ritsuka, we would love to spend some time with you more." James smiles as the other two nodded to his words.

"I better see Mashu, she must be worried for me." Ritsuka waved at them, his Servants followed him behind back to his classroom.

Remus sighs, feeling bad for Ritsuka. "The Minister is up to something; I can sense it."

"You can tell too huh," Sirius looks at the werewolf. "I do too, but we can't exactly spy on him he would know." The Animagus crosses his arms, feeling frustrated.

"Then allow me," Ashyia morphs out of the shadows, with a wicked smile.

James jumps, letting out a gasp. "Alter Ego, you scared us. Where have you've been?" he asked the Servant.

Ashyia was planning with his Shikigami in his hand. "I've been keeping tabs on a certain bitch, she and the Minister seems to have an interesting vendetta with our dear Dumbledore." he smiles.

"I see, so can you-"

"I'm already on it, James." Ashyia informs his master's 'father'. "Master basically allows me to do whatever I want, as long I'm working under Humanity's best interest of course." He morphs back into the shadows,

"(I will report my findings to my master and the three of you if anything comes up.)" The Alter Ego disappears, leaving the still discomforted Marauders alone.

Sirius shivers, still getting chills from that Servant. "I think I will never get used to him doing that trick."

James and Remus nodded, agreeing with Sirius on that topic.

At the Castle of Eden, Archer and his master stood before Rider. "So, let's discuss what you did wrong today master…" She said, her voice filled with anger and disbelief.
