Ch 18 First Task pt 2
Everyone was stunned at what Ritsuka did as he lowered his hand. "Impossible you say? I am quite experienced in this than you, partially an expert," he smirks at the old man.
Dumbledore turns around to see the expression on the wooden pillar as it too was smoking. "W-What was that?" Ritsuka rolled his eyes.
"It's my form of Magecraft, old coot." The Magus answered the old man, "Haven't you all been listening."
"Vhatever it iz, it's an unknown kind of magic that I never have seen before," Maxime was impressed by the young magus. "I vould like to see more of zis Magecraft." She said, wanting to see what the Magus could do.
"Maxime, surely you can't be suggesting that Po-Fujimaru would use this 'Magecraft' during the first task?" Dumbledore asked, not wanting Harry to have an upper hand in the Task. "Clearly, it will break traditions."
"Headmaster Dumbydore, seeing zhat Monsieur Fujimaru does not own a wand. It's only right to let him use his Magecraft." The French Headmistress said, not giving in to his manipulations.
"I have to agree, it's only fair," Karloff crosses his arms, obviously wanting to see more of his craft.
Bagman came forward to the group, "I see the two out of the Champion's respected school agrees, how about you Mr. Schweinorg?" he asked the Dead Apostle next to him. "What's your take on this?"
"Call me Zelretch, and as I said before. I want to see what my apprentice is capable of." Zelretch eyed his former apprentice.
"Very well, three out of four that's the majority of the schools saying that Magecraft will be used by Har-Ritsuka Fujimaru." Bagman said then looks at Dumbledore. "Is that all right with you Headmaster?" he asked.
Dumbledore felt defeated, his fellow headmasters voted for Harry's magic in action. He sighs knowing nothing he could do to waver their minds. "Very well, we'll let Mr. Pot-Fujimaru use his 'Magecraft'." He gave into the pressure.
"Excellent," Zelretch cheered. "Now what's the next step?" he turns to Bagman.
"T-The next step is for the Champions to choose the dragons from this bag." Baggman turns to Barty Crouch Sr. taking out a bag from his coat. Fleur was first taking out a green dragon.
"The Common Green Welsh," Barty said before moving to Victor as he took out his dragon.
"The Chinse Fireball, ooh," Barty was impressed by the choice before giving the bag to Cedric.
"The Swedish Short-Snout." He informs him. "That leaves…" Barty hands over the bag to the Magus, reaching his hand in, pulling out a spiked dragon.
"The Hungarian Horntail," Barty smiles before looking in shock at the dragon stared at Ritsuka and snuggles in his palms. The action of the Horntail shock the wizards as they were known for attacking wizards, but this one seemed to like the Magus.
"I think he smells Lancer and Sieg on me." Ritsuka jokes petting the small dragon with his finger.
Gawain, Nightingale, and Zelretch chuckles at his joke. "Indeed, you do have that effect on people." The nurse smiles at the sight. "Even dragons."
Soon music starts playing outside the tent. "Oh, it's time to start," Barty pulled Fluer to the exit. "Ms. Delacour, you're up first." He said to the French student opening the tent curtains.
Ritsuka got a quick look to see that the Knights of the Roundtable, Waver, Reines, Mashu, and Hishiri sitting down looking at the field. Holmes, Gil, Siegfried, and Sanson looking at Drake, Beowulf, and Billy cheering for Fleur.
Marie, Kiyohime, and Tammao cheering as well with a routine they practiced while Elizabeth was recording the event with a camera live so all of Chaldea can see him compete. Soon Zelretch and the other judges left to the judges stand.
Ritsuka turns to his Servants who stood behind him. "You know you can go join the others," He offers the choice to leave.
"Yes, but I rather stay by your side, master," Gawain said to him.
"As do I, I want to be here to heal you after you face the Hungarian Horntail," Nightingale prepared her medical bag.
Cedric walks up to Ritsuka, hearing their devotion to him. "Your servants are loyal to you," he commented.
"Of course we are. Master gained our loyalty by being himself and understanding each and every one of us," Gawain smiles proudly of who he served.
"For me, he's always getting injured," Nightingale informs the Wizard. "As a nurse, I take upon myself to aid him as his nurse."
Ritsuka smiles at his Servants. "Come now, you two are over exaggerating." He held up his hands. "I just did what has to be done at the time."
"Give yourself some credit, you're an excellent leader in those times," Gawain said. "And I speak to everybody who is under your leadership, master." He inclines his head.
Ritsuka blushed and rub the back of his head a bit flustered by his servant's admiration of him. "Wow, what did you do to gain these admirations?" Cedric asked.
Ritsuka ponders a bit. "It's a long story," A loud roar erupts in the arena gaining their attention to Fleur in the arena.
Fleur manages to retrieve the egg by luring the Common Green Welsh into a sleeping trance. But she didn't come out unscathed, she got burns on the legs.
Victor was up next, ready to face his task with the Chinese Fireball.
Victor cast a binding spell on the dragon, causing it to stumbles backward. She accidentally crushed her nest of eggs, not before he retrieved the egg from the nest. He received points then lost a few for letting the dragon crushed her eggs.
Cedric was after him as he faced the Swedish Short snout.
Cedric went for distracting the dragon by transfiguring a rock into a Golden Retriever. The dragon was distracted by the dog, while he retrieves the egg. It works for a while for Cedric to get the Golden Egg when she decided to go after the Hufflepuff student instead. Cedric manages to grab the egg as the Swedish Short-Snout breaths fire burning his left cheek but manages to escape.
Cedric staggers as he got inside the tent with the egg in his hands. His father went up to him and gave him a big hug. "Cedric, my son you made me so proud." Amos smiles.
"Thanks, Dad," Cedric smiles, feeling a bit lightheaded.
Ritsuka has his suspicion and was about to say something to him when Ludo Bagman walks in front of him. "Mr. Po-Fujimaru, it's your turn to retrieve the egg," Baggman informs the final master.
Ritsuka looks at Cedric walking to the bench where Fleur was, not looking so good herself. He sighs looking at the wizard. "Fine," The Magus walks out to the arena.
Once he walked out of the tent the announcer introduced him. "AND FOR OUR FINAL CHAMPION, REPRESENTATIVE OF THE CHALDEA SECURITY ORGANIZATION, HAR-RITSUKA FUJIMARU!"He announced, cheers came from most of the audience. By most only the Chaldeans, Hermione, and Ginny.
The Horntail growls at him, guarding her nest the Magus. Ritsuka quickly spots the golden egg with the rest of the brood in the nest.
"BEAT THE DRAGON'S ASS MASTER!" Drake shouted as the servants cheer on.
Ritsuka smirks at the Rider, raising his hand in the form of a gun.
Lily and James look closer at the movement of their son's hand. "What is he do-"
"Schießen," he spoke, a red beam shot the dragon in the face roaring in pain. The Horntail reacted by charging at him. Ritsuka moves out of the way by rolling on the ground, soon his arm aimed for the dragon once more and he shot a barrage of multi-colored beams.
The Horntail was being pushed back away from her nest as the colorful beams keep on coming. The wizards were in shock that he can perform wandless magic, and to their surprise, it's super effective on the dragon.
"HE CAN USE WANDLESS MAGIC!" Lily cried out in shock, witnessing the feat before her.
James was unable to speak seeing Harry one-upping the dragon without breaking a sweat.
" AMAZING RITSUKA FUJIMARU CAN PERFORM WANDLESS MAGIC!" the Announcer before Zelretch whispers something in his ear. "H-HOLD ON I GOT CONFIRMATION THIS WANDLESS MAGIC IS MAGECRAFT!" he shouted, most of the audience cheered for the magus.
Soon Ritsuka stops as the Horntail breaths fire at him. He dodges the flames and rolls over to a boulder, the flames intense heat scorched the earth. Ritsuka took out three blue gems and a green one in his other hand. "YOU CAN DO IT, MASTER!" Kiyohime cheered, the moment to move is open.
Ritsuka looked at the dragon, the flames soon faded and he took the opening. "Schild "he threw the green gem in front of him a green shield appears before him swirling, the Horntail breaths fire at him as he ran.
"That shield won't hold, Protego is the strongest shield charm than his weak ass spell," Charles said watching his brother, waiting for him to fail.
The Horntail's flames hit the emerald shield, it held out longer than the Protego charm. This made some impressed by the emerald shield that didn't crack from the intense heat. Soon the fire resided causing the dragon huff from the power she used,
Charles got up from his seat shock to see that the shield was still up. "How? How can that be possible!" he exclaims.
"It's dark magic, Charles," Ron points, causing Charles's lackeys to agree.
Ritsuka took the moment to make his move when the Horntail recharges her breath. The three blue gems were in between his fingers chanting in German. "Große Wintergeister frieren deinen Feind ein!" he releases the three gems at the dragon. Each of the gems soon explodes into white clouds, one by one ice forms on the scales of the Horntail, freezing where she stands.
"RITSUKA FUJIMARU MANAGE TO FREEZE THE HORNTAIL IN IT'S PLACE!" The Announcer exclaims, never seeing this happened before.
"That's my boy!" Zelertch cheered, standing up from his seat clapping for his apprentice.
Hermione was impressed at how Ritsuka handles the task, he walks up to the nest grabbing the egg. "I have to say, that was entertaining than the others." She smiles, looking at Ginny.
Ginny nodded "So every mage has their own magic they practiced?"
"Yes Ms. Weasley, even I have my own Magecraft that is unique to me," Hishiri informs her.
"Really?" Hermione said intriguingly.
"Mpf, of course, mongrel," Gil scoffs. "Mages in the ages have been perfecting their craft to suit their needs, even teaching their descendants to continue on the line." He informs them a bit of Mage knowlegde.
"Interesting, mages sounds like their more powerful than wizards." Hermione nodded, understanding the basics.
"You have no idea," Gil replied, watching his master.
Ritsuka walks to the nest grabbing the Golden egg, the frozen dragon broke free of the ice prison and rushes at the magus. He didn't have time to place another shield when he was hit by the claw. she sent him flying, hitting the arena's wall. The Horntail seems like it's out of it, rushing towards him smashing her head on the wall.
Before the dragon smashes the wall Ritsuka rolled out of the way and shot multiple gems at her. The Horntail roared again but this time the roar was in agonizing pain. 'What the…" Ritsuka looked at the Horntail, her eyes were all white like she was processed.
The dragon soon charges at him again, with reinforcement in his limbs he was able to jump away before she breathes fire once again. Ritsuka took out an orange gem. "Schild " and threw it on the ground creating another shield. He saw the exit wide open, but he can't let this dragon roam free to do whatever she wants.
He knew if he leaves her that way a lot of people would get injured. "I got no choice."
He looks at his Command Seals, he raised them high in the air. "By my order!" he shouts, the markings on his hand glowed.
All of the wizards saw the red glow. "What is that?" James said looking closer.
"Come to me…Lancer!" Ritsuka shouts, a Summoning circle appears before him and a flash of light soon covers the arena. Everyone closed their eyes from the brightness. The light faded away as an ominous fog shrouds the area where Ritsuka stood. (Fate/Grand Order: Zettai Majuu Sensen Babylonia OST Goddess of the Underworld)
Everyone peered to see what is happening; a figure of a blonde woman stood beside Ritsuka. The fog subsided to reveal a clearer perspective of the figure. A young blonde woman in pigtails and a black cape stood next to him. She slowly opens her eyes revealing the crimson pupils. "You called me, master?" The Lancer greeted.
Every wizard looked in fear of the Lancer as she looks around, "My, these humans are so behind with times." She smiles at the crowd.
Dumbledore stood up from his seat from the shock that Harry has summoned…
"RITSUKA FUJIMARU HAS SUMMONED A DEMON BY HIS SIDE!" the Announcer screamed, causing everyone to go ballistic in fear of the woman.
Hermione and Ginny were about to leave in fear before they look back. "She's not doing anything," Hermione noticed.
"Just relax, master just summoned Lancer," Holmes explains to them, watching Ritsuka moves next to her.
"Lancer? You mean she's a Servant!" Ginny exclaims, letting everyone heard her.
"Yes," Waver replied, one by one the wizards calmed down and sat down.
"MASTER!" Ereshkigal moves in front of him and summons her lance twirling it, creating a shield to block the fire.
The dragon broke free from the chains, flying in the air. Ereshkigal gritted her teeth. "Damn it, master your orders!" she shouts.
The Horntail soon flew back down ready to attack. Ritsuka looked at the Goddess. "Lancer, use your authority to control the dragon." He orders her.
The Lancer nods flying up in the air as many gasps. She prostrates her lance in front of her, "By my order dragon, heed my authority!" The Lancer orders, the Horntail stops in her tracks glaring at the Goddess of the Underworld.
Ereshkigal soon notices something off from the Horntail. "Heed my authority! Break free from this spell!" she cries out, red lances appeared around them spiraling around her generating electricity. The Lancer swipes her hand to the side as the lances aimed the Horntail.
They impaled her as the dragon roared in pain. "Heed me once more, break free from the influence of those who would control you!" Ereshkigal cried, red flames cover her body and on the Horntail roaring in pain. (End Song)
The dragon fell from the sky landing on the ground creating a crater on the stony field. Soon cheers erupt from the crowd, Ereshkigal floats down to the dragon petting it. "(Rest now, and let Kur blessed you on your recovery.)" She whispers to her, the dragon moans in her sleep.
Ritsuka walks up to his servant with the golden egg in his arms. "This is not how a dragon would act." He said to the Goddess.
"Agree," Ereshkigal looked around the arena, "Someone must've to control her mind," she concluded.
Ritsuka looks at the crowd, appalling him for his victory. "I think that person is in the crowd or with the staff." He said eyeing everyone.
