AN; The scene with Ritsuka and the trio will continue in the next chapter, I want to add the infiltration of the Bulgarian Ministry that was inspired in the prologue of Lostbelts, please leave a review.
Ch 17 Infiltration
Reines lead the three students through the forest following the path that was laid out for them. Reines stops at a tree stump knocking on it. "Uh…Reines why are you knocking on that stump?" Hermione asks the Rider servant thinking its strange. "Just wait Granger," Draco said. They look as see the stump transforms into a miniature golem with a metal face mask. "What is that!?" Ginny cried as that golem motions them to follow.
"Fascinating, I only read about these in Nicholas Flamel's books in the restricted section," Hermione said as they follow the little golem. "So, what did you read about?" Ginny asked as she looked at it. "Only that he found notes and books on Solomon ibn Gabirol or Avicebron on how to make golems and their uses." She said remembering every word from the book. Reines chuckles thinking that she'll be surprised that these golems were made by the real Avicebron. "That's interesting," she said. They were almost out of the forest when the light of the moon breach the trees. Once they're out they notice a pathway going left to right. "I didn't see on the map of Hogwarts before." Ginny said surprise to find this "From what master told me, he said this was here for a while." She said as the little golem motions to follow him.
After a few minutes of walking Hermione notice the path is paved with little lamps, she looks up a sees a mansion with a closed gate. Standing in front of the gate is a blue-haired man dress like a samurai. "Assassin, beautiful night isn't?" Reines smiled at the serious Assassin "Indeed, Reines-sama. Here to see master?" he asked the pseudo servant "Yes, for a late-night tea." "Very well," he moves aside as the gates opened. The little golem returns to where it was stationed. "This place is beautiful, this is where Ritsuka lives?" Hermione asked looking around the front yard filled with different types of flowers. "Actually, this is an outpost that my father is just placed in to be in charge of, Ritsuka is just using this as a temporary base," Draco said as they're at the front door the halls were filled with staff walking in and out of rooms with tablets in their arms talking to each other not noticing the guests.
They also see people in different outfits than the rest, both girls were thinking they're servants. "Yes…you want her?... fine Kirei…she 'll be there soon…bye." He hung up and put his phone in his jacket. "Oh, you're here already." Ritsuka was surprised to see them so soon. He walks down the stairs to meet with the guest. "I'm sorry about this, as you can see, we are still setting up some the system and it's about 66% done." He said scratching his head embarrass that they see the outpost is in a mess now and not when it's not busy. "No, it's fine, we did expect some sort of workers around doing some sort of work," Hermione said to the director. "To be honest, I'm impressed that you got muggle technology working here with the magic interference and stuff." Ginny looks at to staff working on a panel on the wall. He looked at the Slytherin boy behind them "Draco, how's are things. The last time I saw you is when you and your parents visit the clocktower to meet with me." He offers his hand as the Slytherin took it.
"Nice to meet you again, Ritsuka. Where's Mashu? Is she around?" Draco asks the final master where's his first contracted servant. "Oh Mashu? She's currently helping Waver with some files in the library." Reines's ears perked as he mention him "Big Brother's here? I should say hello then." Reines said mysteriously as she went off to find him. Ritsuka sigh at the Rider's sibling love. "Anyways let's go to a more private room." He led them to a separate room from the mansion's lobby.
Bulgarian Ministry
"That's the last of the creatures," a male wizard said to his coworker. " I know, shipping these creatures out to Britain is hard," he said back to him, then a sudden chill came making them shiver. "Didn't get colder now?" he rubs his arms together trying to get warm. They went back inside to get warm but inside was colder. "What happened to the heat? The fires should be on!" he said still shivering from the cold. He walks to the torch to light it up "Incendio!" the flames only sparked as a cold wind blew their way freezing the flame.
"What in the hell?" he said as he felt a sword pierce his chest. "Hrrrk," he coughs out blood hitting on the floor. "Oh, how god disgraces your kind," he turns to see a priest taking a sword out of his coworker's chest as he walks towards him. "Now then, let divine punishment fall upon your soul." He said thrusting the same sword into his chest falling dead. "You sure love doing this job, is it because it's the priest you are possessing or it's master's orders to deal with the Bulgarian Ministry of magic?" Castor asks leaning on the pillar. He pulled the black key out of the dead wizard and threw it at an incoming wizard in the head. "I would say both Lord Castor, that and from what the prime minister of Bulgaria said that illegal transportation of demonic beast is coming out of Bulgaria Wizarding world to Britain. My guest the ministry is in league with Voldemort and supporting his cause seeing how they despised the mundane government."
Castor thought about it and finally gets why they're doing this. "So, in order to stop the shipments of demonic beasts to Britain we need to end it at its source." He said as Kirei threw another black key. "If we are on schedule then we'll meet up with the duchess soon."
In another area of the ministry wizards are trying to stop Anastasia from advancing further. "Rats how dare you try to disrupt my master's plan. Viy I beg you, kill them all!" she rose the doll up high eyes glowed and a strong gust of frozen winds blew towards the wizards freezing them in place. "She's unstoppable maybe Bombarda-Gak!" a sword slashes through the wizard before he can cast the spell.
"I thank you, lady Pollux though I can handle these rats." An ice spike formed rushing towards a group of wizards and expands creating more impaling them in the process. "If I let you go off killing everyone here then it'll ruin the plan that master pianistically created for this mission." The goddess said as Anastasia stop near the corner "What do you say Viy, shall we wrap this up and see the minister?" she said to her doll in other people's eyes she just crazy but in truth it's her familiar the demon Viy. "Very well, let us go Lady Pollux" she summoned blocks of hard ice to cover the walls except for the assembly room. She puts her hands on her hips and smiled "It seems that we don't need to use our Noble Phantasm this time, since you have everything in control."
She walks behind her before something grabs her heel, she looks down to see a half-frozen woman. "P-P-Please he-he-help m-m-me." The goddess lifts her foot away from her hand "Since you and the ministry help Voldemort by delivering him demonic beasts, we're not obligate to help you." She said coldly walking away catching up to Anastasia. She caught up to her and opens the door to reveal a small army of wizards. They look up to see minister Oblansk behind the army. "You think you can waltz in here without consequences, you bitch." He laughs as he raised his hand "Attack that bitch!" wands aimed at the Caster; she raised the doll up in the air "I shall open Viy's eyes." She said as the eyes start to glow. The wizards suddenly felt cold
"Viy, behold it all. Pierce through everything."
As she said that she rose in the air and a ruined castle appears before them, they're terrified of the black thing coming out of the ground and starts pounding them, soon he stops.
"Lay your incredible power as an offering at my grave. "
The demon opens its eyes and they instantly know who that is through legends in their library and stories they heard. They were engulfed by darkness as glowing eyes stared at them.
"Viy, Viy, Viy! "they were frozen in ice then in an instant they were all shattered.
The only person to be alive is Oblansk who cowers at the sight of the Noble Phantasm. "I-I-Impossible, he vos just a legend a-a myth!" he said terrified. "Quite fascinating isn't that a member of Romanova has the demon Viy as her familiar." "Hrrrk!" a hand went through the minister's chest; he looks behind him and saw the priest with a document and letters from Voldemort to him. "A-A-A Priest f-from th-he C-C-Church!?" he was now terrified that the priest is here. All wizards know that the holy church despises all wizardkind and want them exterminated, now ones here in the Bulgarian Ministry of Magic. "It seems I was correct; the Bulgarian Ministry of Magic is in league with the dark lord, rejoice my son your soul will be purge from his influence." He swiftly took out his hand as the minister died once he took it out.
"That was overkill," Castor said materializing next to him. "Consider this, by taking out the supplier Voldemort's plan will slowly fall apart," Kieri said as he looked over the document walking to Pollux and Anastasia. "I'll leave this to you to take back to master, I can't stay too long here I got a branch to run." He said as he hands over the folder to Castor before leaving. "Goodbye Grigori," Anastasia said as she and Diosuri enter in their spirit forms returning to the outpost to their master.
AN; I really wanted Anastasia badly; but I decided to wait until the next rate up for her (Not enough saint quartz) until then I'm saving for Sigurd when his banner is up. Wish me luck.
