Ch 14 First Trial; Aftermath
"Kur Ki Gal Irkalla!" as she released her Noble Phantasm Hermione was in awe at the power that was shown. Then she remembers what Mashu said about using a Noble Phantasm in dire circumstances, this must be one of them. "This is a Noble Phantasm?" she asked Reines, she just smiles at her "Yes, it's a trump card to each servant they possessed when they a fight is difficult for them, but in order to use it we must reveal our true name," she explains to them. "True name?" Ginny asks as she remembers Ritsuka calling her Ereshkigal or something like that.
"I remember that Ritsuka called her Ereshkigal."Hermione thought about that name he called her and the word Kur she cried "BY MERLIN'S BEARD! SHE ERESHIGAL; THE GODDESS OF THE SUMERIAN UNDERWORLD!" She said remembering the myth in one of the books she has in her room. "Ereshk-who? Hermione it's just a name nothing important." Charles said uncaring the glares from the servants. She turns her head to him "Charles, right there on the arena is a literal goddess from the age of gods, she is the queen of Sumerian's underworld." She then realizes something that does not make sense. She turns to Reines who disappears along with the other servants. She got up and heads to the tent of the champions along with Ron, Ginny and Charles.
Ritsuka walked in the tent where Madame Pomfrey came up to him to checks on his condition, "Mr. Potter stop resisting and let me- "she stops when Ereshkigal summons her lance to her throat. "Stay away from my master," she threatens the old nurse. "I-I-I'm just doing my job," she defended herself. Ritsuka looks at behind her and saw that the other champions were not healed properly. Then James and a group of aurors surround them. "You'll be coming with us, dark witch!" Fudge ordering her to come quietly, she took her stance and Gawain and Nightingale appears to assist them. he steps in front of the goddess and opens his arms out "If you want her, you have to deal with me and my other servants." He said to them. Dumbledore enters the room with the other judges and Lily "Harry, enough with your babbling and come here this instance!" James shouts at him not budging where he stands.
"Clearly that demon has entranced you, and- "he laughs at Dumbledore's name for the goddess making the aurors gasps at how someone would laugh at the greatest wizard. "Albus, clearly you are quite arrogant around you, Lancer's true name is Ereshkigal the Mesopotamian goddess of the underworld and my devoted servant. If you don't believe that then explain what has transpired during the trial?" he said slyly at him "T-T-That's impossible, nobody can summon a god not even from the age of gods." Lily said shock to see a living goddess before her. The goddess steps forward as they raised their wands trembling in fear.
"Indeed, I am Ereshkigal, the goddess of the underworld in the Lancer class." She said as they trembled. "Why are you here? Are here to talk the souls of everyone to hell!?" Karloff said pointing his finger at her, she shook her head "No, the reason I'm here is that my master has requested my help in this task and give salvation to that poor horntail." She glared her red eyes at them clearly angered by their cruity to that dragon. "Consider yourselves lucky, master doesn't want to be any bloodshed today." She said smiling back at him, "If I was you, you better pay more attention to the critical injured French and Britain champion." She motions to Fleur and Cedric who fell into shock. They all rushed to them as the nurses try to stable them and by the looks of it, they weren't trained for this. Hermione and the others went inside the tent and saw what's happening.
"Oh my god, they went to shock! What happened?" she said in a panic. Charles and Ron scoffed seeing it's not a big deal. "It's not a big deal, Ron faints all the time." She looks at him thinking he doesn't know "Not a-CHARLES! THEY WILL DIED IF THEY DON'T HAVE THE PROPER TREATMENT FAST!" she practically screamed at him as he cowers away from an angry Hermione. "You got to do something, Goddess Ereshkigal!" she shook her head "Sadly I cannot, but I do know someone who can." She tilts her head to Ritsuka who has his arms crossed. Ginny went to her knees "Please Ritsuka if you have the power to help them please do it." Tears pouring down her face so did Hermione.
Mashu enters the tent to congratulate him in completing the task but stopped when she heard both Ginny and Hermione crying "Senpai?" she said worriedly, he looks at her a smiled. She was relieved to know he'll save them. "Berserker," he called out to her before Gawain whispers in his ear "(Master are you sure that you can take it, you are almost out of magical energy.)" he pets his shoulders and smiled "I can take it, and besides I can not let anyone die today." He said as he motions Nightingale to come with him. Leaning on a pillar Zelretch smiled at his apprentice being the same person he have met all those years ago.
"Pomfrey what's happening to them?" Dumbledore asked the head nurse of the school "I-I-I don't know, I've never seen this before," she said panicking as their conditions worsen "You better do something, you mudblood if he dies then I'll sue you for my son's death!" Amos threatens her. "Allow me to assist." (Insert Tell Me) They look to see Nightingale walks in with Ritsuka behind her with a serious face. "Like hell I let- "She pushed Fudge to the side with her Berserker strengthen as he fell on the ground. She pushed aside the nurses and checked their conditions "Fourth-degree burns on the young male's cheeks and one on the female's legs to the hips. Treatable if given the right treatment."
Maxime walk behind her "Can you 'eel vem?" she asked the Berserker "Yes, master permission to use my Noble Phantasm?" she asked him as he nods to her request. "You really think a powerful attack that might kill them will he-" Dumbledore was interrupted by Nightingale as she lifts him by the collar "Do not interrupt me when I am treating patients, if you do I'll have to amputee your limbs and leave you outside." She threatens him, he nods as she throws him to the side and took her position in front of them. she opens her arms and shouts
"I will purge all that is toxic, all that is harmful!"
A glow engulfs her as she steps back
"For as long as I have this power, I shall lead everyone to happiness! "
A translucent version of her appears behind her wielding a sword and brings it down to the unconscious Cedric and Fleur and cried out.
"Nightingale Pledge!"
The light engulfs them making the burns fade not leaving a burn scar on their bodies. (End song) They stirred then opens their eyes. "Treatment complete, though I do suggest a once a week check-up with the nurse until you go off to compete in the next task." She steps away as they are bombarded by nurses. "Nightingale Pledge…Surely you cannot be!?" Lily said as she remembers what she said. "Very well, I am Florence Nightingale the one who reforms the nursing system to help patients who're in dire need." She said receiving gasps from the nurses and Lily. Hermione faints at the sound of her real name before being caught by Ginny "How can a muggle nurse have this power? By order of the ministry you will hand over the spell that you used to us and you be Obliviated." The pink toad proclaims as Nightingale ignored her which made her turn red.
"Nightingale is a servant, a heroic spirit that made his or her mark on history whether be it evil or good deeds that made its way to the Thorne of Heroes." Ritsuka laughs as the turn to him "Are you saying that your servants are heroes and villains, and they will follow what you say?" Rita said as she writes down the scoop of the century. "Yes, Nightingale is in the Berserker class, due to her stubbornness as a nurse back when she was alive." He said as they are interested in to obtain this power.
"Ca-" And no, I will not tell you how to summon one or tell my servant's true names. If they want to tell you their names I won't stop them., it's their decision to tell." He said as he walks out before Cedric and Fleur get up "Thank you," Maxime and Amos who recovered also said their thanks, he stops near the entrance and slightly turns his head. "It's the right thing to do," he said as he left the tent back to his mansion. Before stopping to Hermione and Ginny "(If you want to talk more about this, meet me in front of the forbidden forest.)" he whispers and receiving both nods from them. Dumbledore was now obsessing with how to obtain this power of that Harry possesses so did Charles as they both wonder how to get it. Lily and Hermione stood there stunned to meet an important figure in history in person and technically alive and now curious who are Ritsuka's servants' real names to be.
