Author's Notes:
Hey everyone thanks for waiting, I hope you like this chapter, this is more of a breather chapter. So, no battles here… Here the heroes are now dealing with the aftermath of the attacks, with Ritsuka and Chaldea having to explain to the other Demigods, Magicians and the Einherjii about the situation.
As for the Riordanverse heroes, they are going to have a lot of reactions to this. With some of them being in awe, while others are going to be distrusting at the Heroic Spirits. Especially those that meet Nero, Caligula, and Cleopatra.

Section 3:
A day of explanations and Reveals.
Ritsuka POV
In Camp Half-Blood, Long Island, New York
2020 AD
Ritsuka alongside Kadoc and Hinako alongside Percy, Annabeth, the Kanes, Zia, Walt, and Magnus are now in the dining pavilion, currently explaining to the Greco-Roman, Egyptian, and Norse heroes about who they are, why are they doing here and who the enemies are.
Nico then looks at them and then started saying, "So, let me get this straight. You guys came from another dimension…"
"That's right." Ritsuka said.
"And you are all time-traveling/dimension-traveling Mages who saves the world." Nico added.
"Yup…" Kadoc nodded.
"And you can summon historical and mythological figures from the past, so that they can help you guys save the multiverse?" Nico finished at taken all that info in.
Ritsuka nodded, "Yes that's about it…"
Nico and the others then looks at the Heroic Spirits, with them having mixed reactions. With the Greco-Romans were cautious, flabbergasted, and fearful towards Nero and Caligula. But to Romulus, Caesar, Achilles, Ana, Atalanta, and the Dioscuri they show some respect for them. Meanwhile, the Magicians as well as the Einherjii are in awe with the Pharaohs and Norse Servants.
"This is just so unbelievable…" Will muttered he then looks at Hinako, "And you are a what... a vampire?"
Hinako sighed as she corrects Will, "True Ancestor…"
"Oh sorry…"
Hinako sigh as she then looks at Will saying, "You got a problem with that?"
"Umm… It's nothing…"
"Ok, ok let's get back on topic… shall we" Percy said.
Mash POV
Inside the Big House, Camp Half Blood, Long Island, New York
2020 AD
Meanwhile, we saw that Mash was now resting in the infirmary alongside the injured Demigods, Einherjii and Magicians who are being treated. At her bed side are Saber Lancelot, Morgan, and Galahad with Artoria at the door watching them.
As Mash opens her eyes, she looks around muttering, "Otosan, Oniisan, Morgan… What happened?" She then tries to get up only for the three to stop her.
"Hey! Hey! Hey! Mash you aren't fully recovered yet!" Lancelot stated.
Morgan then calms her down, "We're in a place called the Big House. You've passed out after crying…"
Suddenly, Lancelot starts asking Mash, "Mash… Are you sure about the woman that you, Master, Arcueid and Galahad saw?"
Mash nodded, "Yes, I'm sure…"
This caused the two to be really disturbed and confused with Lancelot muttering, "What is she thinking?"
"Me too…" Morgan agreed.
Artoria hearing all this just stands as she thinks about what happen, "Just what is going on here…"
Sion POV
In the Big House, Camp Half Blood, Long island New York
2020 AD
We then cut to Sion sitting at the table alongside Riordan Chiron, Lupa, Odin and a black man wearing a hat and trench coat who is Amos Kane the uncle of the Kane siblings.
"So, Sion Eltnam Sokaris… Are you saying that the attacks are just the beginning?"
Sion nodded, "Yes…"
Amos then looks at Chiron, and Odin and ask, "What about you two… What are your ideas on this?"
Chiron and Odin shook their heads, "Unfortunately we don't ran out of ideas…" Odin answered.
This caused everyone to sigh, Odin then suggest, "What about we discuss this in meetings." Which causes the others to nod at this.
"That sounds like a good idea…" Sion smiled.
3rd POV
Back outside the Big House, Camp Half-Blood, Long Island, New York
2020 AD
We then go back to Ritsuka's group who is still explaining to the Greco-Romans, Egyptian and Norse heroes. As they end the explanation, Nico sighed, "Wow that's a lot to take in, huh?"
"You could say that…" Ritsuka smiled.
"But still are we sure that we can trust them, Percy?" Nico asked.
"What do you mean?" Percy narrowed his eyes.
Nico then sighs, "What I mean is how can I trust them if they have guys like Nero and Caligula!" He shouted as he pointed at Nero and Caligula with a glare who are now looking at him with unease.
This caused Hinako and Kadoc to give Nico dirty looks, "Watch your tone, boy. I don't care if you are the son of the Hades. But I will not tolerate you shouting at us!" Hinako shouted as she turns to Yu with Jians drawn.
Nico was unnerved with Annabeth and Will trying to calm him down, at this a voice said, "Di Angelo-san, I assure you they are different people."
Nico turned and saw that it was Mash accompanied by Lancelot, Artoria, Galahad, and Morgan, "Umm… And you are…"
"Mash Kyrielight nice to meet you…" Mash replied introducing herself.
Nero and Caligula then join Mash as they bowed their heads at Nico with the former saying, "Nico Di Angelo, I understand that you don't trust me and uncle given our reputations we still don't regret what we did in the past. But please whatever the other me and my other uncle did to you in the present… we apologize for that."
Nico was surprised at Nero and Caligula apologizing, with him saying, "Umm… Okay… I can't believe they are saying sorry."
Kadoc then interjected, "Are we done? Because we have more things to discuss…"
"Okay, okay… Kadoc… we will get to the main topic at hand…" Ritsuka said.
Meanwhile, in Maxwell's Headquarters, In an unknown place
2020 AD
As we go to Maxwell's headquarters, we saw that Maxwell was now reading a book, with the woman looking at over the window. Maxwell then looks at her and asks the woman, "Are you thinking about them?"
"Well, you can say that." She replied as she flips her hair.
Maxwell sighs as he knows that she is always like that, "You've always been like that, I guess it can't be helped, Caster, or should I say Elaine of Corbenic. The Wife of Lancelot and mother of Sir Galahad and Mash Kyrielight."
The Woman Elaine smiled at him, "Ohh… So, you figure me out already?"
"It's easy, what with your grey hair as well as your attire it's obvious." Maxwell explained.
Elaine sighed as she opens a portal with Maxwell asking, "Are you going to visit them?"
"Yes, Of course… Why wouldn't I…" Elaine said.
Maxwell sighs, "Ok… Safe journeys then…"
Elaine chuckled as she went through the portal. With Maxwell musing, "Hmmm… Let's see how well will Mash Kyrielight, Sir Lancelot, Sir Galahad as well as Morgan and Artoria Pendragon take all of this in."
In Camp Jupiter, New Rome, San Francisco, California
2020 AD
As we go to Camp Jupiter, the Romans are now rebuilding the Camp as well as the City. In the Senate House, the Senators are now reeling from the truth.
"This is absurd!" One Senator shouted.
"I can't believe this… How can we trust this Chaldea, now!?"
Meanwhile, the Praetors are now seeing this as they sigh, they then saw Nero and the other emperors with sad looks. Frank then stands up as he shouted, "ENOUGH!"
The Senators look at Frank who was now with Hazel and the emperors to step forward, "Look, I get that your paranoid at seeing another version of Nero and Caligula. But I assure you all they are different people!"
This caused one Senator to ask, "How can, you be sure?"
Hearing this Nero shouted with tears, "IT'S BECAUSE WE STARTED TO APOLOGIZING TO THE CITIZENS!" This caused the Senators to be shocked at this, "I know it's not my place to say this given that I never regret what I did when I was alive… But I apologize for what my other self, as well as the other alternate versions of the emperors, did to you all!" she shouted as she kneels her head.
The Senators are awed at this, with one of them saying, "I can't believe this… Is Emperor Nero kneeling?"
Nero then stands up as she is joined by the other Roman Servants, "So, Please let accept us in your Camp!"
The whole Senate House is now silent with one of the Senators, "I see then… we will grant your request. But prove to us that you're different from the Triumvirate…"
Nero and the Roman Servants nodded as they and the praetors left the Senate House. With Caesar saying, "My… I didn't expect that from you, Emperor Nero!"
"It's nothing, it's just that when I heard what the Nero Claudius in this world has done. I felt ashamed of his actions, Ancestor…" Nero explained to Caesar.
"I see… well let's get going." Hazel said.
Elsewhere, in the first Nome, under Cairo, Egypt
2020 AD
Under the Capital of Egypt, was the primary headquarters of the House of Life, it looks like a typical Egyptian marketplace. With many Magicians minding their business. But in this day, the organization is now dealing with the aftermath on Brooklyn, Chaldea's arrival, and the Pharaohs arrival.
The four Pharaohs were awed at all the wonders of the main headquarters of the Magicians. As they and the Magicians go through the Hall of Ages where many records of Egyptian history are stored. Ozymandias ask, "what is this place?"
"This is the Hall of Ages where the memories of the Egyptian Gods and Pharaohs are stored." Zia answered.
This caused the Pharaohs to be shocked with Nitocris saying, "Then all of this…"
"Yes, it contain all memories including your alternate selves." Walt said.
This causes the Pharaohs to widen their eyes, they then went to each section as they witness each part of Egyptian History which causes the Pharaohs to feel nostalgic. However, as they went to the blue section Cleopatra feels a tinge of sadness as tears fall in her eyes, "Umm… Zia what are all these memories?"
Zia sighed as she knows they had the right to know, "Those memories… Well, they came from the time of the Ptolemaic Kingdom." This revelation shocks Cleopatra to the core.
"Then this…"
"Yes, this is the memories of the time Rome conquer Egypt…" Carter said confirming the Pharaoh's suspicions. This caused Cleopatra to be silent as they continue to walk.
When they reach the Throne Room, Ozymandias ask Carter, "May I ask what is this throne for, Carter Kane?"
"Oh that… That's for the Pharaoh and Chief Lector, meaning that's my and Uncle Amos' seat…" Carter answered.
"I see…" Nitocris Alter muttered.
As they go inside the war room, they saw that it had a table with a map of the earth, and it also has the statues of some of the Egyptian Gods. There they saw a group of Magicians sitting around the table discussing something with Amos.
"How can you be okay with this, Chief Lector?!" one magician asked.
Amos sighed, "I told you all it's going to be okay…"
Another magician interjected, "Look I'm okay with Ramses and Nitocris visiting here. But Cleopatra? Cleopatra? The Pharaoh who almost brought ruin to the House give me a break!"
Hearing all of this caused Cleopatra to almost go teary eyed, with Nitocris Alter trying to comforting her. As Carter called out, "Hey Uncle Amos! Everyone!"
Amos and the Magicians then turn to the direction of Carter's voice. They then saw the latter and his group with most of the Magicians shocked at the arrival, however, most of them are now glaring at Cleopatra who is now looking very sad. Ozymandias then spoke up, "Everyone I know that you all don't trust Cleopatra, because of what happened to Egypt during the war with Rome. But now's not the time to argue…"
The Magicians were silent however some of them are still glaring at Cleopatra. This caused Nitocris Alter to step forward and defended Cleopatra by readying her energy beams, "If you all got a problem with that then have at you."
The Magicians were now unnerved at what Nitocris Alter's doing, with one of them saying, "Ok… Ok… we understand!" This causes Cleopatra to look at Nitocris Alter who then smiles at her as if saying that it's okay. She then wipes her tears as she calms down.
"Ok… Thank you, Nitocris Alter."
Sadie then looks at them with an awed look, "Bloody hell… To think that they are this close."
"Yes, I can of envy them…" Walt agreed.
In Asgard, Nine Worlds
2020 AD
In the Halls of Asgard, we saw that the Norse Servants and the Aesir and Vanir are now sitting in the tables. The Valkyries staring at Brynhild causing the latter to uneasy.
"Umm… my love, sister… I don't like what they are doing…"
"Just calm down, they are just awed at you." Sigurd agreed.
Odin then sighs as he said, "Ok, everyone! Let's get to the problem at hand…"
"Yeah, and it's about this brotherhood, right?" Frey inquired.
Thor then stressed, "Yeah, and to think, that they got help from monsters, I fear that Loki will have an alliance them…"
Sigurd then stands up as he said, "That won't happen, Lord Thor."
Odin looks at Sigurd asking, "Are you sure?"
"Of course, Allfather…" Orthinde smiled.
The Aesir and Vanir looked at each other, with Odin saying, "That is one show of bravery…"
"Well comes with the territory…" Sitonai said.
Back at Camp Half-Blood, Long Island, New York
2020 AD
Back at Camp Half-Blood, we see Elaine looking at the heroes talking, with her on the other side of the Canoe Lake. She smiles at them knowing that they are having fun.
"Hmm… Looks like they are having fun…" Elaine giggled.
Suddenly she heard a voice call out, "Yes they are, Elaine…" She turn to the direction of the voice, and it was none other than Artoria, Lancelot, and Morgan.
"Well, It's been a long time, Lancelot, and I see you brought in, King Arthur and the Lostbelt version of Morgan Le Fay." She giggled causing the three to facepalm, "Look we need to talk…"
"I agree we need to know why are you with them!" Artoria inquired.
Morgan nodded at this, "Yes, we need to get more info from you…"
Elaine then smiled and replied, "Ok we'll talk, but we need to keep this secret, okay."
Meanwhile, we saw that Ritsuka's group still talking to each other, with them each sharing each other's stories with the Greco-Roman, Norse, and Egyptian Servants awed at their exploits. With Achilles saying, "Man, that was one hell of a hurdle you guys had to deal with…"
"Yeah… Kronos, Apophis, Gaia, Loki our Nero, and Python… They are a really tough bunch to beat." Annabeth muttered.
"I see… well, I guess you aren't half-bad, However, you are still pushovers, given the fact you still needed the gods help!" Caenis remarked.
This caused Pollux to hit her in the shoulder, "Caenis! That is rude you know!"
As this was going on, Mash and Galahad felt something odd in the air, Ritsuka and Hinako noticed the two with the latter asking, "Mash, Galahad… What's wrong?"
"Yeah, what happened?"
"It's nothing?" Mash and Galahad replied. Causing the others to narrow their eyes in concern.
"What has gotten into those two…?" Kadoc muttered.
Mash then looks at Galahad whispering, "She's here Oniisan…"
"Yeah…"
Back at Elaine and Lancelot's group the former is now explaining her motives and reasons as to why she joined the brotherhood in that she was infiltrating them, "And that's all I can tell you."
Lancelot's group is now stunned at this revelation, with Artoria saying, "But if that's the case, then let us help you, Elaine!"
However, Elaine shook her head, "No need my king it's something I need to do myself."
Lancelot sighed in exasperation, "Elaine! Now's not the time to be stubborn! You're going to get yourself killed!" He shouted at her.
Elaine giggled, "Don't worry, I'm going to be fine…"
"Elaine!" The three shouted
"Well guess I'll be going then…" Elaine opens a portal.
When suddenly they heard someone calling out to her, "Wait!" They turn and saw that it was Mash and Galahad running towards them. Galahad then asks, "Where are you going?"
"Yes, I agree where are you going, Mom?!" Mash shouted.
Elaine however just smiled, "That's a secret… But I'll give you some advice, Mash."
"And what's that?" Mash replied.
Elaine smirked, "You should be more decisive with your feelings for Ritsuka Fujimaru."
This causes Mash to blush as Elaine walks through the portal, as she disappears, they heard Ritsuka's voice shouting, "MASH! EVERYONE! WHAT'S GOING ON?!"
They then saw Ritsuka and the others running towards them, with Kadoc asking, "What's going on here!?"
Morgan sighed as she feels that they have the right to know, "We'll explain later, it's a long story!"
