AN: If you want Dumbledore in a frenzied state just waits, I have a plan for that part. The next chapter will be perorations for the Second Task and other things.
Ch 33 Infiltration
Lucius Malfoy walks to his study within his manor. Once he enters his study his wife was sitting on the couch waiting for him to arrive. "Lucius, what is Voldemort planning this time?" Narcissa asked her husband.
Lucius walks over to the globe next to a bookshelf. He held out his hand as his arm glowed with his magic circuits "Stars. Cosmos. Gods. Animus. Antrum. Unverse. Anima, Animusphere." The globe glowed as it rotates causing the bookshelf to reveal a secret passageway.
"Come, Narcissa," Lucius said walking to the passageway. "We must warn Ritsuka about where the Demonic Beast are hailing from." He said to his wife.
Narcissa nodded as she follows her husband to the passageway. "Right," she said.
The Malfoys went further down the passageway once they reach the end the place was filled with maps of stars and contraptions that deal with Astromancy. "It's been a while since we've been down here, right Crissy?" Lucius asked his wife.
"Yes, it has, I still remember the day you taught me how to use Astromancy." She said going around the workshop. "You still had your hair in a rattail." She chuckles.
"And you still look beautiful as ever since that day," Lucius said walking to his laptop typing a message to Ritsuka.
"Lucius, isn't dangerous to leave that laptop here?" Narcissa asked her husband. "What if Voldemort finds this place and gets valuable information?"
Lucius sent the message to Ritsuka as he types something else. "I have precautions for that if it ever happens." He said as he closed his laptop.
"Now, we must go to the Brittan Outpost Crissy." He said grabbing some valuables with him.
She looks at her husband as he sets off timers on his latest creations and projects. "Why's that?"
"Because Avenger of the Gallows saw me spying on her and Voldemort's conversation." He said as Narcissa's eyes widen with fear as he grabs.
"If we're quick about it then we might be able to-" Once they reach the end of the passageway they stop where they stand. Standing before them was Avenger of the Gallows standing right in the middle of his study with Voldemort in Peter's arms.
"Here I thought Avenger was lying that you have betrayed me, Lucius and that you were aiding that Potter bastard," Voldemort said as a group of Aurors rushes inside the study. "Oh, Lucius look how far you have gone from our righteous path to purge the taint of the world." He said.
"My lord, allow me to kill my foolish brother-in-law and my sister for this treachery against you as my redemption for my failure!" Bellatrix said drawing her wand out.
"No, I want the information from this traitor," Voldemort said. "I want to know his knowledge of this 'Magecraft' that my spy is saying that Potter bastard possessed." He turns to his followers. "Avery, I want him alive and integrated. Kill that bitch of a wife that Lucius loves." He said as he walks away.
Avenger spun on her heels and waved back at them. "I do hope you learn your lesson, Lucy. I have a liking to you." She smirks. "See you soon," she sang.
Lucius looked back at his wife ready to fend them off. "I'm sorry about this." He said to his wife.
Narcissa looked at him. "Wait, Lucius, don't-" he held out his hand and a portal appeared below her as she sank in.
"Tell our son that I love him and that he should follow the Animusphere's beliefs and uphold them," he said as his wife disappears. He turns to the death eaters as he throws his cane in the air before catching it and held it out to his former allies. "Now let me show you all what a member of the Animusphere family can do," he said as a black orb appears on the tip of his cane shooting out blue light towards them.
Brittan Outpost
Ritsuka waved Sirius and Remus a farewell as they head off to the Potter mansion. Charlemagne stayed in his spirit form feeling that it's not his time to reveal himself to his son's friends just yet.
The King of the Franks materializes after they left the premise and walk to the living room where most of the Servants gather. He walks in the room to see an array of Servants either watching Mordred, Chloe, and Tomoe playing Xbox on the flatscreen or talking to each other.
'Huh, I never thought that I get the chance to see this many servants gather in one place.' Charlemagne thought. From the corner of his eye, he sees a familiar face talking to a blonde girl and a light brown boy.
"Astolfo, is that you?" Charlemagne asked the pink-haired man. "Man it's good to see-"
The Rider turns around jumps in joy. "My King! Long time no see, what's up!" He waved at his king as he skips.
Charlemagne's eye twitched at the sight of one of his paladins. "Don't 'what's up' me. What the hell are you thinking of wearing that skirt again!? The last time I saw you, you said you were going to wear pants!" he said.
Astolfo scratches his head. "Well, I like to wear this skit. It suits me." He cheerfully said to him. "Besides people don't mind."
"People don't mind my ass!" He scolded his Paladin. "It's not that I hate to see you wear them, it when people go assuming you're a girl that piss me off! Daddy is so disappointed." He huffed.
Astolfo steps back. "You're not even my dad! I happen to like the reaction I receive from people when they find out," he said proudly.
Seig and Jeanne along with the other Servants look at the knight and king as they 'catch up'. "This conversation is…intense, should we intervene?" Seig asked.
"N-No, let them sort it out." The Ruler said as they went on.
Charlemagne crosses his arms as his vein on his forehead pop. "Damnit…you're pulling this shit again! I thought you learn that lesson when you went inside that bar dress as you are now!"
"You know me, my king, I never know when to quit." He said smiling at him.
Bradamante sighs at her fellow Paladin and king were having their usual intense conversation. "Just like the good old days." She shrugs her shoulders.
"Bradamante! Stay out of it, daddy and Astolfo are talking!" he said to his Paladin
"What's going on here?" Ritsuka asked as he walks into the room to see a bit of chaos. Mordred and Chloe were laughing at the French men as the rest just watch them.
They all turn to see their master standing confused about what is happening. Charlie and Astolfo look at their master as he stood there. "M-Master!? What are you doing here?" Astolfo asked.
"Well, I heard a commotion coming here and walk into this gathering." He said to them. "What's going on Charlie?" he asked his grandfather.
Charlie straightens himself out before speaking. "It's not a big deal Ritsuka, just telling off why Astolfo here is wearing a skirt again." He said.
"Again? You mean he wore something else instead of the skirt?" he asked.
The King sighs. "Yep, here I thought he learned his lesson." He looks at the Rider. "Turns out he needs another scolding by me."
"H-Hey, I sometimes tell my gender to other people. It just… slip my mind." He said looking away embarrassed.
"Geez, you're so forgetful sometimes." Charlie throwing his head in frustration.
"Ah-uh, the most forgetful person in all of Chaldea!" Astolfo said proudly at his flaw.
"Rider, it's not always good to be forgetful," Seig said to his former Servant.
Astolfo patted the homunculus's back. "Come now, Seig I'm just being me." He said.
Charlemagne looks at the Caster. "Hey, from what I can get from the grail you were Astolfo's previous master before my grandson summoned him right?' he asked.
"You are correct, Rider was extremely helpful during that time." He said to him.
Charlemagne inclines his head. "I apologies for my Paladin's rash behavior in any way possible that may cause you stress." He said looking down at the floor.
Seig held his hands out motions it that it's fine. "King Charlemagne, it's quite alright I don't mind Rider's personality at all. He's just fine as he is." The Caster said.
Charlemagne looked up at the homunculus. "Really? Then if it's alright with you." He turns to Astolfo as he was trying to escape his presence. "Astolfo! Don't you go running off, we're not done yet!" he yelled at him.
"WAHHH!" Astolfo cried as Charlemagne grabs him by the cap dragging him back where he stands as many laughed at the duo's friendship.
Ritsuka chuckles slightly at his new Servant is getting along with everyone so well. Mashu walks in the area with her tablet in her hand. "Senpai, we receive a message from Lucius-sama." She said handing the tablet over to him.
"Thank you Mashu, where are Ginny and Hermione?" he asked the former Demi-Servant.
"Oh, Ginny-chan is still asleep and Hermione-chan is with Blavatsky-san assisting her with organizing the bookshelves at the library." She said.
"Should of know that Granger girl would go there," Moriarty said.
"Well I did get a feeling that she the studious kind," Georgios added.
Ritsuka looked at the message that Lord Animusphere has sent to them. He read the message as his face became dark. Everyone stopped being cheerful as they felt an ominous feeling from their master. "Fujimaru-dono, what's the matter?" Ushiwakamaru asked her master.
"Lucius found where Voldemort is getting those Demonic Beast from." He said as everyone felt a chill from his words.
He hands over the tablet to Mashu. "Mashu, contact Kadoc and Kirei at the Russian Branch and tell them I have a mission for them," he orders her.
"Yes, Senpai," Mashu said as she went off to contact the Russian Branch about the situation.
"Pollux, Castor, Anastasia!" as he called their names as they appeared before him.
"Yes, master," they said in unison.
"Your three will go to the Russian Branch and deal with the Bulgarian Ministry of Magic, end their supply line of Demonic Beast." He orders them.
He held his hand out. "By my order, end the supply line of Demonic Beast. Use any means necessary! the first Command Seal disappears as the three Servants glowed blue.
"As your Servants, we shall obey," They said as the three went off to the teleporter to the Russian Branch.
Charlie walks up to his grandson. "Ritsuka, are you alright?" he asked worried for him.
Ritsuka put on a smile. "Yes, Charlie I'm quite alright." He said to the Saber.
Many saw the fake smile their master just put on but leave it for now. The stress he was receiving is getting worse every day with the Tournament, his family, the wizard officials, and the daily work of being the director of Chaldea.
Charlie sighs. "If you're sure but do get some rest. You're going back to Hogwarts soon; the Second task will be here soon." He said to him.
"Don't worry, I will." He said walking off to his office.
Jeanne walks by the King's side. "Is he always like this? Regarding his own for everyone else." He asked the Saint.
"Most of the time, this is the first we've seen him like this." She answers.
"I'm guessing just being here in the wizarding world." He added.
"Yes," she said remembering the change in her master.
Bulgarian Ministry of Magic Dec 27th, 2023, 11:10 PM
"Alright, that's every Demonic Beast ve have in the stables." A male worker said as he saw the Beast being floo to the Dark Lord.
"Finally, that was a hassle to load them into their cages." His coworker said.
"Well don't get comfortable, we still need to round some more up for the Dark Lord's plan." He said he walks towards the Ministry. "Let's get out of this cold, my balls are freezing." He said.
"Yeah, I can veel mine too freezing from this snowstorm." He said as they walk inside.
As they enter, they felt a blast of cold winds from the end of the hall. They shut their eyes from the coldness of the winter winds. "I thought inside vas varm." The coworker said.
"Same, vhat is going on here?" he said as he looked at the fire that was supposed to keep this place warm. His eyes widen at the flames glisten as the moonlight bounces of the frozen flames. "How is that possible?" he said.
"How indeed," a voice said from behind his back.
The worker felt something through his chest. He gaps for air as he looked down on what pierced him. A hand-painted red from his blood was sticking out from his chest. His coworker screamed as he felt a hand on his shoulder. "My apologies, I can't seem to stop this habit of mine." The voice said as he yanked his hand out.
He took his final breath as he feels on the cold ground as his lifeless body soon covers in frost.
The wizard stepped back drawing his wand shaking as he aims his wand at the figure who just killed his coworker. "S-Show yourself!" he demanded.
"Very well, since you asked." The figure moves out of the shadow he was hiding in as he smiled at him.
The wizard face paled at the sight of him. The wizard's most feared adversaries, the holy church. "A-A priest, what is your kind doing here?" he demanded.
"Ah, the answer to your question-"The wizard head was blown off as his corpse fell on the ground as the frost overtakes him.
"Will never be given to you." He continues.
Kadoc reloaded his shotgun with his bullets. "You're taking this mission rather calmly." He said to the assistant director of the Chaldea Russia Branch.
"Come now Mr. Zemlupus, I take every mission with a calm sense of self." The Priest said. "Being calm will lead to success in life, that's my philosophy in life." He said walking further in the Ministry.
"Still don't know what that means Kirei," Kadoc said.
Pollux appeared before the leaders of the Russian Branch. "Lord Kieri, Lord Kadoc we've secured the department of mysteries here and Lord Brother and Caster are on their way to the assembly hall." The second half of the Saber said.
Kadoc and Kieri looked at Pollux as three oprichniki appeared next to the Saber. "Good, if we keep this up then we might be done early than expected." The Priest said.
Kadoc nodded. "Saber, have the oprichniki guard every exit so no wizard can escape and tell others of tonight's event."
"Yes, Lord Kadoc." She replied as she turns to the three oprichniki. "Relay the order from what Lord Kadoc said," she said to the soulless beings.
"Yes, Lady Saber," they said as they linked with every oprichniki in the area to relay the order.
Somewhere off in the ministry wizards are fending off a woman who easily defeated the Ušumgallu they had as guard dogs without breaking a sweat.
"Damnit, just how she's not effected with the curses ve throw at here." The Auror Captain of Bulgaria wizard community said. "Send in more Ušumgallu!" he demanded as the Aurors releases the Demonic Beasts.
"Rats, you dare use these filthy creatures on me?" she said as she summons ice pillars under the Ušumgallu impaling them from beneath.
"I will punish you all for disturbing the peace of my homeland! Viy, I beg you. Kill them all!" she said as the doll's eyes glowed as ice crawled on the ceilings, walls, and floor.
"Wait! Those eyes, those are the de-"An Auror was frozen by the ray of light coming from the doll.
Anastasia summons ice spikes as it hurls towards them some dodging some did not.
"She has ice magic!?" An Auror said casting spells at her.
Anastasia summons an ice barrier to block the spell coming at her. A discus was thrown at the wizard who shot the spell at the Duchess as it ricochets to another wizard to the other.
"What is that thing!?" The Auror captain said as a blond man wearing a black shirt and a white cloth over his black pants jumps above the ice barrier as the discus went to the man before he throws it again at them killing off most of them leaving only two left.
"Captian, ve're the only ones left!" the young Auror said scared of his life. Soon more of the black soulless automatons appeared before them marching up to where that woman stands and some to the man stood.
"Vhat are you?" The Auror Captain demanded.
Castor glance down at the human. "Hmpf, humans such as you have no right talking to me." He said as his discus started to spin rapidly ready to kill them.
"Saber stop!" Kadoc, Kieri, and Pollux arrived just in time before Castor can kill the two.
"Lord Brother," Pollux ran up to Castor to calm him before he can do anything that could cause this mission to fail. "Lord Brother calm down, you don't want master to be stressed, already do you?" Pollux said.
Castor look at his sister and sighs. "F-Fine, I won't kill those humans…yet." He said receiving a smile from his sister.
Kadoc walks to the Auror captain with Anastasia behind him. "Tell me, where's the documents you have that was sent with a large supply Demonic Beast to Voldemort?" He asked.
"Vhat?" The Auror asked pretending to be stupid.
Kadoc sighs as he shot him in the leg. He cried out in pain as the former Crypter asked again. "I'll ask again, where are those documents?"
"I vill never tell you, Muggle scum." He grins at the Magus as he clicked his gun at the wizard eyeing the youngest Auror.
"T-The Minister has it!"
"Vhat are you doing!?" The Captain yelled at the stupidity of the Auror.
"I-I don't want to die." He said to the captain.
"Where's the minister?" Kadoc asked the Auror.
"I-In the assembly hall, he is guarded by Aurors and wizard mercenaries he hired." He confessed. Kadoc was satisfied as he pulled his gun away from the captain. He sighs in relief as the Captain of the Aurors got up ready to kill the Magus before he said. "Caster,"
"Yes master Kadoc," She responded by using her ice abilities to create a powerful gust of winds that could freeze anyone in front of her. Anastasia releases the winds to open the assembly doors freezing the wizards in their places including the young Auror and the Auror Captain.
The Minister of the Bulgarian Ministry of Magic Oblansk was the only one left who is not frozen in ice. "Mr. Zemlupus allow me to do with negotiations."
"Make it quick Kirei," Kadoc said as the Priest walks up to the minister.
Oblansk paled he laid eyes on the priest. "A-A P-Priest! V-Vhat are you d-doing here." He said terrified of his presence.
"Now, now Minister Oblansk no need to be discouraged. All we want is one thing from you." Kieri said politely to him.
"Vhat is it?" he asked the priest.
"Oh, just your documents on the Demonic Beasts you have that you sent over to Brittan." He said to him.
Oblansk eyes widen that they find out that quickly. "I-I have no idea vhat you're talking about." He lied.
"Minister Oblansk, you know aiding a dark wizard is consider a crime in wizard standards that the punishment is death. Correct?" Kieri asked as he circles around him.
"Y-Yes, but-"
"And we've gotten enough evidence that you are supporting the Dark Lord Voldemort by sending the Demonic Beasts native to this land is being transported via floo," Kieri said.
"How did-"
"You have a choice here, either tell us where the documents are or die and we ripped this place apart for them," he said to the wizard. "Your choice."
Oblansk thought carefully on this seeing both Voldemort and this priest is frightening to him, he looks at Kadoc and the Servants standing at the entrance of the Assembly hall. He looks at the priest. "No, the dark lord is mor-" Oblansk was stabbed in the heart by the Priest's hand at a lighting pace.
"Wrong choice, dear minister." He said as he pulled out his hand from his chest. Kieri turns to the oprichnik. "Look in every nook and cranny of this building for those documents, master requires them immediately!" the Alter Ego order the soulless automatons.
"Yes, Father Kotomine!" the oprichniki said as they went straight on searching.
After a while, they found the documents they were looking for. The oprichnik hand over the documents to Kadoc. "Good everything's here, let's get out of here." He said as they left the building not before Anastasia turns around.
"Viy, I call upon your power." She said as the doll eyes glowed.
