Ch 10 Into the Fray
"Yes…yes mom, I know." Marinette smiles, holding her phone to her ear. "Don't worry mom, it's only for a few days. Ritsuka will be there and Adrien too, we'll be learning about History nothing too dangerous." She continues talking, looking at herself in the mirror.
Marinette chuckles, hearing her Mother speaking about how she should stay with Ritsuka and Adrien while she's off on a trip. "Yes, mom. Watch my surroundings and listen to Ritsuka, alright I gotta go. Love you," She hung up the phone and turn to her Partner.
"So, what did you say to your mother?" Taikoubou asked the current Holder of the Ladybug Earrings.
The bluenette smiles, waving her hand. "It's a simple sentence, a sleepover, and an opportunity to learn real history from real Heroes." Marinette explains what she said to her Mother, "I know she would flip if I told her, 'Hey I'm going to the future where we're going to save it before the World erases our timeline'." She sarcastically said.
The black-haired Rider chuckled, finding that a bit humorous. "Well, that does sounds better than the who World ending part." Taikoubou commented.
Tikki blinks at her previous owner, a bit concerned since they are jumping into the Future rather quickly. "Tai Gong, are you certain that going off to the future unprepared for the unknown is a good idea?" The Kwami asked, wanting to know if this was the right move.
"There are times that things you thought you were prepared for come out differently." Taikoubou stated, looking at the young Hero and his former Kwami. "By then, you realize that you are unprepared. What I'm saying is that no matter what, there's always the unexpected lurking in the shadows."
Marinette understands what her Guardian was saying. "I understand completely, but still a little knowledge of the type of enemies we're going to face would be helpful." The bluenette sighs.
"But you have, Marinette." Taikoubou stated, having faith that the young Hero can handle what comes at her. "Remember you've faced the army of the Empire before, facing what they have at their home base will be similar."
"Indeed, in addition, you have a unique brand of Mystic Codes that Mages of my World never attempted before." The three turned around to see a blonde boy in a white suit and a cane.
Marinette could see this boy was around her age, but the suit he was wearing is similar to the Chaldean Staff. "Um, who are you?"
"Animusphere, Draco Malfoy Animusphere. I'm a Magus from the Association that's here to ensure Chaldea is doing its job." Draco introduces himself to Marinette. "Plus, I'm one of the many supporters of director Fujimaru present here."
"Supporters? So there are people here who aren't a part of Chaldea here?" The bluenette asked the blonde boy in front of her.
The heir of the Animusphere Family nodded, crossing his arms. "Well, yeah. Chaldea is funded by the UN and the Association, as such some people are here to observe as witnesses of the New Orders." Draco explains to the rookie Magus before him. "Considering that both you, the Cat, and that lady waiting in the Rayshift are technically Mages telling you this should be fine."
Marinette was unsure how to respond, whether to be warry or not from the choice of words he said to her. "Um…thanks? I guess."
Tikki floated over to Draco, curious about him. "So you're a Magus? The only Mages I met were the Guardians and Ritsuka." The Nature Spirit stated, wondering what Mages were like if Mana in this World hasn't died out.
"Yes, but my family is quite secretive in our craft. Even to our fellow Mages." The blonde Magus explains to the Modern Hero. "Anyways, you should probably go now. Everyone is waiting for the three of you to depart."
Taikoubou walks forward, looking at his successor to the Ladybug Earrings. "Then let's get going, Marinette I shall serve as your bodyguard upon arrival to the Lostbelt." The Rider Servant explains, "The same goes for Nikitich, she'll be acting as Adrien's bodyguard."
Tikki looks at the Rider, happy to be working with him again after many years apart. "It'll be fun working with you again, Tai Gong. It's going to be like old times!" The nature Spirit exclaims.
"Indeed, Tikki. The memories of your Tai Gong are clear in my mind of our adventures." Taikoubou smiles, leading the two out of the waiting room. His eyes drew over to Marinette, seeing she was a bit nervous.
"Marinette, I can tell that you're nervous. Don't worry as long as you're with a Servant you're safe." Taikoubou ensures Marinette was safe around them.
Marinette shook her head, "I-it's not that, it's just…is it really okay for us to know what'll happen in the Future? Time is a fragile concept, from what Master Fu told us." The bluenette stated,
Draco smiles, "Yes, Time is fragile. But it's not defined, what you see soon will be drastically different." He tried to explained the concept of time, but it was complicated. "It's hard to explain, all wibbly wobbly timey-wimey…stuff…" He gestured his hands like a ball to better show it.
"In short, time is like a branch of a tree." Taikoubou stated, picking up what Draco was trying to say. "However this is a Lostbelt where the normal concept of time differs,"
"I see,"
The group walks down the halls of the Storm Border where everyone is working and preparing for the worst.
At the Rayshift room, Ritsuka adjusted his mystic Code. A similar design to Adrien's but the hood was yellow. "Daddy!" Ritsuka turns around and smiles at his Wife and Son seeing him off like every time.
"Hey there buddy, being good for your mother?" Ritsuka asked, reaching out to touch his Son.
Romani giggles, grabbing his Father's hand. "Daddy!" He exclaims happily.
Mashu smiles carefully approaching her Husband as her Son tries to reach him. "Ritsuka, be careful there, I know you can handle yourself but please watch out for Adrien-kun and Marinette-san." She said,
"That's why I trust two Servants to be with them as their bodyguards." Ritsuka ensures he has the safety of the two Heroes in mind.
Bunnyx walks forward, hearing the conversation between Wife and Husband. Next to her was Ruler of Paris and Osamu Dazai. "I was the one who suggested some protection" The Rabbit Watch Holder informed the master.
"Considering we're heading to a place where the normal laws of the World are different than this one, it makes sense." Ruler of Paris commented, finding this plan to be reasonable.
Dazai placed his hands behind his head, believing that things will be just fine. "As long as we stick together then nothing too terrible will happen." He said confidently.
"Considering that Lancer of the Eternal Empire has shown himself, it's reasonable that they're waiting for you at the Lostbelt," Mashu stated, assuming that was the case,
Ritsuka nodded while playing with his Son. "Also Charlie's condition isn't a coincidence. Someone knew who he was and how powerful he is."
Dazai looks at his master, crossing his arms at their predicament. "So not only do we need to dismantle the Lostbelt, but we need to find a way to return Charlie's Servant status and find a missing Servant." The Caster sighs, seeing the amount of work they need to do upon arrival.
"Speak about work, that's a lot to do." Everyone looked to the side where Adrien walked beside Nikitich being assigned as a Bodyguard for him.
"Yes, but this is the average day for Chaldea," Nikitich informed her ward, "This is nothing compared to what we've faced before." The Rider stated, confident in their abilities.
Ritsuka turns to Adrien, to see if he's ready to leave. "Adrien, did you tell your parents about our trip?"
The Hero of Destruction nodded, "My Mother said that she'll handle it. She knows how important this mission is to our survival." Adrien stated,
Plagg floated next to his current owner, crossing his arms. "Emilie knows what she's doing, se can handle things on this side of the timeline." The Kwami of Destruction said, having confidence in the former Terminal's capabilities.
Adrien nodded, trusting his Mother to handle things. "So, how are we going to go in? If what you say is true, they might be expecting us. Going in isn't going to be easy."
"He does have a point there," Draco enters with Marinette, Tikki, and Taikoubou by his side. "It's like the whole Lostbelt is gunning at you from the moment you make your first steps."
"It's like Olympus again," Mashu sighs, caring for Romani in her arms.
Marinette ponders for a bit before thinking of an idea. "I know this is a long shot but hear me out." Everyone's eyes drew over to the bluenette, waiting for her to share. "We know that the Empire is expecting us, and from what I'm hearing we're going to be in a large group."
Ruler looks over at her younger self, catching on to what she was thinking. "Go on," She ushers her.
Marinette nodded, "The moment we enter they're probably ready then. So when they first see us, we split into groups going wherever direction is nearest to us." The bluenette explains her plan to the group.
"Yes, that sounds a good plan but where do we meet up once they lost our trail?" Nikitich asked the Hero of Creation,
Mashu looks over to Bunnyx, knowing she might have some insights. "Bunnyx-san, do you happen to know where a safe place to meet up?" She asked the Hero of Evolution for her knowledge.
The maroon-haired Hero's eyes widen, "I do, the Resistances has many hideouts throughout Paris. But considering where we land, I wouldn't want to risk it." Bunnyx stated before frowning at the idea of leading them to one of those hideouts. "One Servant in their roster, Alter Ego of White is one of the most powerful Servant they have in hand."
Both Ruler of Paris and Dazai frown, remembering the monster that almost wiped out the Servants of the Counter Force in the Present.
"Alter Ego…that's a strange Class name," Plagg stated,
"I wouldn't take it lightly, Alter Egos are a composite of multiple Divine or Nature Spirits," Ritsuka warns the Nature Spirit. "I have some at hand, but they stand out too much to join in."
"So there's a Servant mashed with many Deities and all-powerful…great another problem to add." Adrien jokes, trying to lighten the mood.
Bunnyx cleared her throat, "Even if Alter Ego of White is on to us, there's at least a safe place I know of that is currently under a Field of sorts." She explains, "Many of the Resistance's members head there to gain information of the ongoings of the Palace."
"Then that shall be our meeting spot," A woman with blonde hair tied in a bun and wearing a red dress entered the scene. "Whatever the Eternal Empire is planning for our arrival, we shall make the young Hero's plan succeed no matter what!" Nero smiles, giving confidence to the group.
Ritsuka smiles, seeing the Emperor walking over to them. "Saber, glad you can make it."
"Umu, of course, Praetor. You're beloved Emperor of Roses will join you not only as your Servant but as a Bodyguard as well!" Nero smiles dramatically announcing her role.
Tikki blinks, turning to the blonde woman. "Bodyguard?"
Nero steps to the side, revealing Charlie in a similar outfit as Ritsuka. "Saber offered her services to be my Bodyguard since I can't fight like a Servant ." The King of the Franks said.
Nero nodded, confirming what the King said was true. "Umu, now shall we head out? The longer we wait the more time the Eternal Empire will make the first move!" The Saber exclaims, pointing to the coffin.
Taikoubou shrugs, agreeing with the Roman Emperor. "She does have a point there, master. Let's see how things shall play out and devise a strategy when we get there."
"I second that," Tikki agreed, trusting in her former owner's statement.
Ritsuka nodded, turning to Romani and Mashu. "I'll be back, and also…" He leans to whisper in his Wife's ear. "(If things get dicey, I'm trusting both you and Qin Shi Haung to get those out of there.)"'
Mashu nodded, obliging with her Husband's request. "You can trust me; I'll keep an eye out on their status from here." She ensures that she got it covered.
Goldolf finished speaking with the Rayshift Staff and walks over to Ritsuka. "Director Fujimaru, you're all set for the Rayshift." He informed the Magus before looking at the fledgling Mages before him. "And you two, I'm Vice-director Goldolf Musik. Though you might be experienced in fighting enemies from the Eternal Empire, however, you're going into enemy territory, make sure you stay alive and don't fail your World. " He proclaims to the two.
"Um…yes sir." Adrien and Marinette blink, a bit uncomfortable in following a command structure when they've been doing things together as Partners.
"Excellent, no hint of fear." Goldolf cleared his throat, hiding his pride for the two. "Now, enter the coffins, we're set in Rayshifting you all to the Lostbelt."
Everyone walked into the Coffins, both Marinette and Adrien were a bit nervous as they had never been to the Future like this. Marinette looks at Bunnyx, waving at the team, "I'll go on ahead, so you got a better fix on where to go." She turns around, circling her arm as a blue ring appeared and activated her power. "Burrow!"
Bunnyx released the ring towards the open area of the room, creating a white portal to the Future. She hops inside the Burrow, heading towards the Future, and awaits for the Chaldeans.
Goldolf turns to the Staff, "Ms. Weasley prepare for Rayshift."
Ginny nodded, typing a few calculations and searching for Bunnyx's signal. She soon found it and got a lock. "Alright, we're ready."
Ritsuka smiles at the two Heroes, nodding to not panic. "Just take a deep breath and allow things to go as they should be." He advises the two.
They nodded, trusting Ritsuka's Words. "Got it," Marinette responded, doing what he said. 'Alright, it's going to be quick,' She mentally thought,
Adrien smiles, excited to see what the Future's like and conflicted about what they were supposed to do upon arrival.
-ZZZ- UNSUMMON PROGRAM, START…COMMENCE SPIRITRON CONVERSIONS. -ZZZ-
The two saw water starting to fill their Coffins, both taking a deep breath as they were told before. Their eyes widen when the water completely filled their Coffins, and they were fine.
'W-We can breathe?' Marinette's eyes widen, looking at the other Coffins to see the same thing happening. Soon the water glowed a bright blue hue,
-ZZZ- MASTER, RITSUKA FUJIMARU….MASTER, MARINETTE DUPAIN-CHENG….MASTER, ADRIEN AGRESTE…SERVANTS, RULER OF PARIS…SABER, NERO CLAUDIUS…SABER, CHARLEMAGNE….RIDER, TAIKOUBOU…RIDER, DOBRYNYA NIKITICH…-ZZZ-
-ZZZ- CLEARED ALL STAGES OF RAYSHIFT…COMMENCING SECOND NEW ORDER OPERATIONS…-ZZZ-
Soon the group Rayshifted to the Lostbelt, where the Hero of Evolution was waiting for their arrival.
Dimension 323: Lostbelt X – Paris

"Ka…Rits…Ritsuka!" The Magus opens his eyes, being greeted by Marinette looming over him. She sighs in relief that he was now awake. "You've got us worried there for a moment, Ritsuka. You didn't wake up for at least five minutes before us." She stated.
Ritsuka chuckled, sitting up from the blueish ground. Tikki floated before him, a bit concerned for the well-being of the Magus. "Ritsuka, are you well enough to stand? We can always rest here for a few minutes to get you all ready-"
An arm suddenly pulled Ritsuka to his feet, causing him to look. "Aaah…" A full black armored Knight with a blue plume on his helmet asked his master if he was alright.
"Berserker, thank you." Ritsuka thanked his berserk Father-in-law for his help.
"Aaahh…" Lancelot nods, standing on standby until his master needs him.
"I'm fine, Tikki, Marinette. This happens a lot whenever I Rayshift," Ritsuka ensures the Hero and Nature Spirit.
Marinette nodded, standing up as well. "That's good, and…"
Ritsuka looks at Lancelot, smiling at him. "Oh, this is Berserker. He's one of the Servants that joined us on this mission." He introduced his Father-in-law to Marinette, "He's a bit hard to communicate but you'll soon understand what he's trying to say."
"Uuuuuggghhh…." Lancelot nodded, confirming what his Son-in-law said.
The bluenette chuckled, feeling intimidated by the looming Black Knight over her. "Considering he's called Berserker; I should expect he can't speak." Marinette cleared her throat, properly greeting the new Servant. "Nice to meet you, Berserker."
Lancelot merely nodded, accepting the young Hero in their group.
Ritsuka smiles that they were getting along well. He looks around for the other Servants that went along during the Rayshift. "Marinette, do you know where the others are?" He asked the bluenette.
Tikki approaches the master of Chaldea, "The Riders, and Dazai went in the other direction to scout the area while Adrien, Plagg, Saber, Nero, and Charlie are over there," She points to where Nero, Charlie, and Adrien were looking at the streets of what they presume to be Paris. "Koyanskaya, Saber, Rider, and Ruler decided to head into the City to search for a base with Bunnyx."
However, there was a woman there in a black trench coat with violet hair and a red bow on her hair scanning the area via her abilities.
Soon Adrien, Nero, and Charlie returned to the group after getting the idea of where they are. Adrien smiles, seeing Ritsuka fully awake. "Ritsuka! You're up," he greeted the master.
"Adrien, glad you're okay," Ritsuka said, approaching the Hero of Destruction. Soon every Servant gathered around Ritsuka after doing their reconnaissance.
"Good evening Senpai, it seems you've awoken from your nap!" BB greeted his master as they approached.
"Seems like everyone's here, and you did some reconnaissance while I'm out." Ritsuka greeted his Servants.
Nikitich nodded, "Yes, though we better get moving before the enemy detects our presence." The Bogatyr stated, looking up at the night sky.
Adrien looked at his Bodyguard, confused by what she meant. "How come, Nikitich? We just arrived at the Future; don't we need to wait for the others to come back?" He asked.
"As much I want to wait for the others, the more Servants stay in one place the more noticeable we are," Charlie stated, assuming the Empire knows they have arrived.
"He's right," Dazai added, "The streets look clear but it's too much of a coincidence." He shared every one of his thoughts.
Everyone had the chance to look at the streets and agreed it was too vacant to be City. "Then we must depart at once before-"
(insert Emergency (Camelot ver.) [Fate/Grand Order: Camelot - Paladin; Agateram OST)
Suddenly a spotlight shines over the group, revealing to be a Moby Dick just like before. -ZZZ- CHALDEANS HAVE BEEN FOUND, INTRUDERS FROM PROPER HUMAN HISTORY HAVE BEEN DETECTED!-ZZZ- The Moby Dick announced, giving its location to every Enemy Programs in the vicinity.
"AAAAAAAARRR!" Lancelot roars, indicating to escape while they still can.
"Don't need that translation, we need to go. Now!" Marinette exclaims, hearing the marching of Enemy Programs nearby.
"Out, out!" Ritsuka orders everyone to run out of the alley before they are caught.
They all ran into the open, upon leaving the alleyway they were greeted by a night sky and a massive Palace where the Eiffel Tower once stood.
Attack Programs looked different but similar to the ones they faced in the Present. Their eyes turned red and approached the running Chaldeans.
Marinette looks at the incoming enemies from all corners of the street. "Attack Programs are coming!" She exclaims, "Tikki, Spots on!" She quickly transformed into Ladybug.
"Plagg, Claws Out!" Adrien transformed too for a better chance of escaping. He then notices how many of the Enemy Programs are coming. "There's too much for us to fight off!"
"No, all we need to do is to punch a hole in their formation!" Charlie informed the group what to do. "But we do need to destroy that Machine looming over our heads!" He points to the sky, where the Moby Dick continues to flash a spotlight over them.
Ritsuka nodded, turning to Lancelot since he can do the impossible. "Berserker, go and take out that thing!" He orders his Father-in-law as he drew out his Katana.
Lancelot's visor glowed red, he roars and spirited over to a lamppost. "AAAAAARRRRRRRRTTTTTTTTHHHHHUUUUUUURRRRRRRR!" The Berserker tore the lamppost from the ground, corrupting it to black coloration with red veins over it.
The Knight of the Lake implants his claws in the building's wall and leaps for the Moby Dick. "AAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRTTTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHUUUUUUUUURRRRR!" With a powerful strike, Lancelot pierced through the Machine, causing an explosion from within.
Nero steps forward with Nikitich, ready to punch a hole in the enemy's formation. "Praetor, we'll handle these plebeians!" She dashed forward, slashing through the enemies with her red Sword.
"Yes, this will only take a second!" Nikitich rushed forward, leaping in the air, and plummeting to the ground with her ax. "HA!" She swung it to the side and tore through the Enemy Program's abdomen.
-ZZZ- CHALDEANS DETECTED. ORDERS…KEEP THEM FROM ESCAPING.-ZZZ- The Enemy Programs repeated the same thing over and over again.
Taikoubou steps forward, looking at Ladybug and Dazai. "Ladybug, Dazai, help me by keeping the enemies in place." He used his Ribbon, entangling a few enemies before Nero slashed through with her Sword.
Nero smiles, turning to face the Grand Servant Candidate. "Umu! Great thinking, Strategist. Keep doing that for an easy win!" She rushed to the enemies once more,
"I see now," Dazai grins, releasing his Mystic Code to trap more of the Enemy Programs.
Ladybug copied what the other two were doing, grabbing a few of her own. She turns to the former Holder of the Ladybug Earrings, seeing that there were only two fighters out there. "Taikoubou, now what? I can't hold them until those two can get to them."
The brown-haired Caster agreed with his host, "Yeah, as much I want to be positive, I can hold them forever. They're already tearing through my Mystic Code." Dazai stated, feeling the strain.
Taikoubou nodded, he turns to Chat Noir, just watching the battle. "Master, you and Chat Noir need to take out the ones we've captured." He asked his master.
Ritsuka looked at Chat, Lancelot was still busy with the Moby Dicks coming in from who knows where. "Alright, ready Chat?" he smirks, readying his blade.
"Yeah," Chat took out his Baton, and both masters rushed forward at the enemies taking each one by one.
Nero and Nikitich broke through the formation, clearing a path for everyone. She turns around, motioning for them to continue forward. "Umu, we've broken through! Everyone let's go!"
Ritsuka sliced the heads of the Enemy Programs, releasing Dazai's Mystic Code. "There, Dazai you're good!" He moves on and sliced Ladybug's.
Chat extends his Baton, breaking the head of the Enemy Programs by the side. "Alright, I've got yours!"
Ladybug sighs, reeling in her yo-yo. "Thanks," She turns to everyone else who was able to retrieve their weapons.
"That took a lot from me than expected." Dazai huffed, fixing his bandages.
"Indeed, they're more powerful than I expected them to be." Taikoubou sighed,
BB walks behind the three, tapping their backs. "Yeah, that's great but we need to go." The Moon Cancer motions for them to leave immediately.
They nodded seeing Lancelot land before them. "Berserker! Go, be with Ritsuka and Chat Noir!" Charlie announces as they continue their path.
"Aaaahhh..." Lancelot obliges the former Servant, heading to Ritsuka.
As they ran on the streets, Charlie took notice of something. "This is strange, there are no civilians neither in the buildings," Charlie motions to the building, expecting some Parisians watching them from their homes.
"Why should we concern ourselves with onlookers? It's better than having to worry about casualties." BB stated, finding onlookers to be an annoyance to deal with. "Gah, I really hate this!" She complains about just running.
"Now that you've mentioned it, a lot of places we've should have some curious people," Ritsuka commented, looking at the windows of the buildings. He then noticed the curtains closed,
Chat Noir noticed them too, "The curtains are closed, the people must be hiding away." He predicted from their observation.
"Wherever the people are, it's better if they stay in their homes," Nikitich commented, suddenly both Chat's and her ears twitch, hearing coming from the sky. (End Song, insert [FGO] Lostbelt 6.5 (Realms of Mortality Incarnate - Traum) - Map BGM)
"EVERYONE STOP!" Both cried out, and they all did before something crashed down in front of them.
There stood a white blur, its body was covered in a white mist that nobody could even get a glimpse of its true body.
"W-What is that thing?" Ladybug asked, feeling an intense aura coming off it.
Dazai steps forward, pushing those who can't win against it behind him. "It's him. The one who took out the Counter Force Servants back in the Present."
BB turned to the Caster Servant, hearing who this Servant is. "You don't mean that Alter Ego of Grey or something, right?" The Moon Cancer asked, saying his name wrong on purpose.
"Indeed, Alter Ego of White is one of the strongest in the Empire's Forces," A familiar voice spoke to the Chaldeans, walking from behind the Servant.
Ritsuka frowns upon seeing the Servant, as did everyone else, "Foreigner of London," He said,
Lancelot growls, protecting his master from the Servants of the Eternal Empire.
Nero and Nikitich took the front, preparing to attack if needed. 'The Empire's forces at this time? This is bad,' She thought, seeing their chances of escape are slim.
Soon more Servants joined his side, the same orange-haired Lancer that attacked them before, a man with black hair, and wore a black trench coat similar to Caster but closed with its collar pointing out like a vampire's cape.
"It's that guy! The one who attacked us that night." Ladybug points to the black-haired Servant.
"That's my Sensei, Berserker of the Eternal Empire," Dazai informed the group of who this Berserker was.
"So that's the great, Ryunosuke Akutagawa." Taikoubou commented, sensing the power that he holds. 'This is bad, we just entered the Lostbelt, and we already met by the Servants. Seems like what everyone suspected was right, I expect the forces would surround us first, but this isn't the case…' The Rider formulates an escape while still based on the original plan.
Ritsuka's eyes then shift to one familiar Servant, a Servant that will always be on his side no matter what. But this time, it wasn't the case. "Liz?" He asked,
This Servant is Elizabeth Bathory, the Countess Dracula, and the idol of Chaldea. However, she was different, instead of her usual attire, this one she was wearing was weird and intimidating.
Liz wore a dark purple shirt with her collar bone and abdomen revealed. The golden pattern on her shirt was moving like a hypnotic wheel. She has the same pattern going down her left leg to her lower kneecap and sported a completely black skirt and black heels.
The new Liz smirks, her baby blue eyes dilated seeing the black-haired master. "My, my, look at that. It seems there's a Puppy in the group of intruders." She smirks evilly. "Foreigner, may I please keep him? He would make a good playmate in my territory." Liz asked the blonde Servant in front of her.
"Ngh," Ritsuka clicked his teeth, seeing that she acted exactly like Liz back in Chaldea.
"Praetor, this isn't the Liz we know," Nero informed his master, looking at Taikoubou who nods at what they must do.
"Now, now, Berserker of the Void. You'll get your chance with the Chaldean master." Foreigner of London smiles, looking at the group of Heroes. "After all, the Emperor has some words for them…" He motions to the Palace.
The ground shook, causing a shadow to loom over the Chaldeans. They all turned around to see a large metallic giant rising from the Palace walls. "I-It…can't be…" Charlie's eyes widen, sensing a familiar Spirit Origins from the Giant.
"Masters of Humanity, welcome you to my Lostbelt. The Eternal Cybernetic Empire, Patricius." A loud regal and commanding voice boomed out of the Mecha. "And the place where I bid you goodbye."
