HAN: So I get some of you are critical of the Mages's views on Wizards. To clarify it's not the fact they are weaker than them or they're dangerous, but the fact the Wizards openly reveal themselves in Mundane places such as the incident with Sirius Black and Peter Pettigrew covering it up with poor excuses. The Mages along with the Church have to clean up their mess, making good excuses for their lack of understanding of the Modern World. They want to put an end to it, so the Mundane People won't learn about Mystery. It was mentioned before in previous chapters.


Ch 26 Mashu and her Father-in-Law

Harry giggles, petting the robotic Triceratops on the frill. "This is amazing, I didn't expect there to be Robot Dinosaurs!" The young Boy smiles, happy to have the chance to meet three.

The Futabasaurus cries, entertaining the young Heir. "I designed these Dinosaurs during our time in the Caribbean Islands." Da Vinci smiles, sitting with the young Heir. "I'm thinking of designing another one, what do you think, Harry-kun? Does a Stegosaurs sound good?" She asked,

"A Stegosaurs?" Harry asked, looking up and picturing the Dinosaur in his head. "I like it, can we make it blue?" He looks at the Dinosaurs currently with them,

Da Vinci smiles, taking out her sketchbook and pencil. "Great, now let's see…how many plates do you think we should add on the Stegosaurs, Harry-kun?" The Rider asked,

Atalante Alter smiles, watching Harry being engrossed in Da Vinci's little distraction. "Um…ten?" Harry asked, not sure how many Plates a Stegosaurs has.

The Alter's ear twitches, hearing some yelling from the Command room. She flinched knowing that the one who was yelling was her master.

"Ms. Atalante?" The Berserker flinched, hearing the young master's voice. "Are you okay?" Harry asked the Alter.

Atalante Alter smiles softly, petting the innocent Child's head. "There's nothing to worry about, Harry. Why don't you go back to help Da Vinci and help her design that Dinosaur." The Alter said, seeing the young Child smile, and went back to Da Vinci, Fou, and the Dinosaurs.

She smiles, walking towards the door. Opening, Atalante Alter met with a small Woman with two curved horns. "Tiamat, what brings you here?" The Berserker asked the Alter Ego. "I thought you were in the hearing?"

"I was, but I'm sure you heard what has occurred there." Tiamat, the Primordial Mother and Beast II informed the Alter what happened during the proceedings.

"Oh, that's a good idea Harry-kun! Maybe a riding Dinosaur, how about a Utahraptor?" Da Vinci asked, receiving great ideas from the young Heir.

Harry giggled from within the room, "Yeah, can we make it red, Ms. Da Vinci?" He asked, getting involved more.

Da Vinci flips her pencil in her hand. "Of course, let's see…I think a built-in seating would be nice…" She drew some plans with Harry, allowing ideas to bounce off from between them.

Tiamat smiles, hearing the laughter of a young Child. "Is that the Child that my Son and Mashu adopted?" The Alter Ego asked, peeping into the room.

"Yes, he's a smart Kid. A very active learner and willing to learn everything." Atalante Alter commented, looking at the Boy. "If anything, by the time he's of Age, he might take on some minimal tasks of Chaldea. But that's far ahead,"

Tiamat giggles, "Try not to rush things with him, Atalante. Enjoy the Age he's in." The Alter Ego walks in, wanting to meet the young Child. "Do you mind if I go meet him? He is my Adopted Grandson."

Atalante Alter didn't mind, moving aside for the Beast to enter the room. Following her, the two approach Harry and Da Vinci.

Harry looks up, seeing a newcomer entering the room. Based on her appearance, she must be another Servant of Chaldea. "Hello," He greeted Tiamat.

"Hello young one, my what are you doing here?" The Primordial Mother asked the Child.

"Drawing Dinosaurs!" Harry answered cheerfully, seeing her to be a nice Person.

Tiamat smiles, hearing the cute response of her Grandson. "How nice, Dinosaurs are really cool right?" The Alter Ego said, enjoying the bonding time with him.

Harry nodded, agreeing with the Servant. He blinks, looking at her, curious who she is. "Um, i-if you don't mind…"

Tiamat smiles, "I am Alter Ego, Tiamat. The Primordial Mother of Mesopotamia and also your Adopted Grandmother." The Alter Ego informed the young master.

The black-haired Boy looks at Tiamat, "S-So, you're Ritsuka's Adopted Mommy?" Harry asked,

"Yes, I'm your Father's Adopted Mommy," Tiamat said before seeing Harry smile with joy. "Or in a way, I'm everyone's Mommy."

"I never had a Grandma who I met before," Harry said before asking her new Grandmother something. "Can I call you Grandma? No, wait, Grandma is in Japan in the Hospital." He said,

Tiamat ponders before answering her. "Then call me, Grandmama,"

Harry smiles brightly, nodding to his new Grandmother. "Okay, Grandmama!"


Command room

"D-Director Fujimaru, what was that!?" Goldolf asked, looking at the master of Chaldea. "You can't just stop the hearing just now!" The Magus stated, not believing what he just witnessed.

"Goldolf, try to understand that Mr. Fujimaru has been harboring this anger towards his Father," Holmes said, looking at the former director. "It's understandable that he doesn't want to talk after all these years, especially when Mr. Black thought his Son was Sixteen years old."

Kadoc sighs, looking at Holmes, "It's not only that Holmes, but Ritsuka didn't act appropriately during the hearing." The Magus looks at Ritsuka, rubbing his forehead. "Ritsuka, I get you have issues with your Father. But do keep in mind, that this isn't the time for your Father issue." The white-haired Man said,

"I know, but when I first saw him, something just snapped." Ritsuka explains, still having issues with his Father, "He just left me and Okasan without saying a word, and now I find out he's a Wizard and a Criminal no less!?"

Goldolf lowered his brow, hearing what Ritsuka said. "I-I see, then you didn't know about Black being a Wizard," He said pitying him. "I'm sorry, director."

Ritsuka stood up, walking to the exit. "Master," Ivan called out, every one of the Servants watched as their master walked off somewhere.

"Ivan, Durga, Salieri, I'm going to the simulator," Ritsuka said, calling for his Servants. "I need to cool my head," He said,

"Yes, master." The three responded, following their master to the simulator.

Mashu steps forward, watching her Husband heading off. "Well, that went off like a lead balloon. Speaking for everyone, I've never seen Fujimaru get this angry before." Koyanskaya said, saying what was on everyone's mind.

Kieri nodded, agreeing with his fellow Alter Ego. "Indeed, master seems to harbor unresolved feelings towards his Father," The Priest said, reading his master like a book.

"Well, if director Fujimaru can't separate his feelings towards Sirius Black and the trial then we cannot have him preside over it," Goldolf said in a serious tone. "He needs to be impartial, regardless of his situation,"

Mashu looks at Goldolf, "Goldolf-san, Ritsuka understands that." She said to the former director. "That's why he ended the hearing before he did anything that would jeopardize his position."

The blonde Man nodded, understanding what Mashu was saying. "Yes, you seem to be right. But still, that's no way he should talk to a Prisoner." Goldolf said to Ritsuka's Wife. "If he doesn't get his act together in the next hearing then I have to take both Sirius Black and Remus Lupin into my custody to the Clocktower."

"Which would be considered to be the worst option for them, considering what Mages would do to those who trespass on important grounds," Moriarty said, adding his thoughts.

"It's a choice I have to make, I don't like it either since this is Chaldea's issue but you have to do what's needed to be done." Goldolf continued before hearing

Mashu steps forward, "If I may, I can speak to those two Prisoners." The former Demi-Servant said. "I have no ties with the Black Family other than being married to Ritsuka, so I could possibly find out what they're planning." She said confidently.

Goldolf ponders on the idea of Mashu speaking to their Prisoners. "Hmm…I'm not sure! However, it's obvious that director Fujimaru isn't in the mood for interrogating them." The former director of Chaldea said.

Mashu smiles, understanding Goldolf's worry. "Don't worry, Goldolf-san. I can handle this, Sir Agravain will be with me." She said, ensuring that she got this handle.

"Mrs. Fujimaru, I'll be close by in case I need to intervene." Holmes turns to Goldolf, still concerned about this arrangement. "This should at least release some tension for Mr. Musik."

"I wouldn't say all tensions," Kadoc mumbles causing Anastasia to giggle.

The Chaldean Representative nodded, approving this arrangement. "Alright, you have our full trust, Mashu. Find out why those two have entered restricted grounds," Goldolf ordered to which she obliged.

"Hai!"

In the Holding Cells, Sirius was sitting in his Cell in complete utter shock. His Son, though relieved that he was alive and well, the fact he was around his Age was not what he was expecting.

Sirius chuckles, getting a rare glimpse of what his Son would look like in his young Adult years. "So…that was Ritsuka," He said to himself, remembering the young Man's appearance. "He really does look like Akari, if she happens to be a guy." He smiles softly,

However, the fact remains that his Son somehow aged at least four or five years from the Age he initially thought. He also broke his promise when he left Ritsuka with the responsibility of being the Man of the House for a short time. "I…I have to fix this…"

"Sirius, what are you talking about?" Sirius turns to Remus, hearing his voice from the other side of his Cell.

"Remus, I have made a lot of mistakes," Sirius said, knowing that the Werewolf was listening. "Mistakes that were paid with my relationship with my Son and Akari…"

Remus heard what his Friend was saying, confirming that Man they met was indeed his Son. "So, that was your Son. Gotta say I didn't expect him to be a young Adult." He stated.

"No, he should be at least Sixteen now. Counting his Birthday and my Age, he should be younger." Sirius stated, knowing that he hadn't miscounted the Days since he'd been incarcerated.

The Werewolf nodded, understanding Sirius wouldn't get someone's Age wrong. He's always on point when it comes to someone's Birthday. "Then something must've happened to him if he Age from Sixteen to Twenty-something," Remus stated, thinking of anything that could explain Ritsuka's Age. "Maybe a Time Turner mishap?"

Sirius shook his head, "Ritsuka is a Squib, I can confirm that he doesn't have any Magical properties." The shaggy-haired Wizard said, "So a Time Turner can't be the reason. A new Spell?"

"Maybe…I don't know any Spell that could Age something or someone." Remus said before sensing something coming.

"Well, that's simple. Chaldea has taken part in serious Missions that left the entire World in a Timelock while we worked to resolve them." Both Sirius and Remus looked up, seeing the violet-haired Woman that stood with Ritsuka standing with the same, black-armored Knight they met before. "Hello, Black-san, Lupin-san,"

"You, you're that Woman who was standing next to my Son." Sirius stood up from the floor, approaching the ray shield. "Who…who are you?"

"That's right, Black-san. I'm Mashu Kyirelight Fujimaru," Mashu placed her hand on her chest, "I'm your Son's Wife,"


That was unexpected, Sirius was flabbergasted that this violet-haired Muggle was his Son's Wife, "W-Wife? B-But that's impossible, Ritsuka isn't…but how?" Sirius was really confused, "He was supposed to be Sixteen, not in his Twenties. This doesn't make sense at all."

"To clarify, there was an incident that caused the entire Planet to be in a Timelock. Chaldea, Ritsuka, and myself were tasked to resolve it," Mashu explains to her Father-in-Law. "Since the World was frozen in time, we members of Chaldea continue to Age regularly."

Sirius was still comprehending what was told, unable to ask any more questions. If one pops up in his head then a second one will pop up.

For Remus's case, it was different. Never had he heard something so out of this World and yet the things he witnessed recently prove that this Woman wasn't lying. "Mashu, why exactly are you here? More importantly, why have you come to us?" The Werewolf asked the former Demi-Servant.

Mashu looks at Agravain before continuing. "First tell us, why have you come to Chaldea's restricted area?" Agravain asked for Mashu. "We know Wizards tend to stick to their own devices and it's rare to find your Kind in a small group instead of a large one."

"That's because I wanted to check up on my Son and Akari!" Sirius quickly answers the Chaldeans. "I know that it's not my place coming back after being gone for a long time, but I still worry about them. Then I found out that Akari has Alzheimer's, and Ritsuka is now an Adult with a Wife, and working for this strange place."

The shaggy-haired Man looks down to the floor. "I have a lot to make up for, but the important thing is that I want to fix my relationship with my Son. Even if he's grown up, it's still-"

"It's not that simple, Mr. Black," Agravain spoke, prompting Sirius to look at the Knight. "Master isn't in a talking mood with you. He needs time to think to himself," The Saber said, understanding what the Wizard was trying to say.

"Why are you doing this? I heard many Muggles here talk about us, mainly antagonizing us in whispers." Sirius asked before getting to the main point. "And what's with most People calling my Son master? Wait, don't tell me he has this f-"

Mashu shook her head, disproving his theory. "No, no, Ritsuka doesn't have that fetish. The Servants here in Chaldea respect him, they all saw him as a Person worth following and he gave them a second chance in life." She said, admiring that about him.

The Knight of the Roundtable confirms what Mashu said was true. "Yes, many of us say ourselves as Weapons used for achieving our master's goals," Agravain stated, explaining what many saw in themselves. "Your Son doesn't see us as Weapons, he sees us as People. Though we are beyond average Humans, he still treats us like everyone else."

Sirius heard what Agravain said, it's true Ritsuka was an open Person. Even when he was a toddler, he didn't shy away from meeting People during times at the Park. "Yeah, that's Ritsuka for you. Even after being incarcerated, Ritsuka is still the same Kid as I last saw him."

"But that doesn't explain why you guys aren't hostile towards us," Remus picked up from where his Friend left off.

"It's true most of us may not like you, even me. But we all want the same thing for our master," Agravain said, looking at his master's Father and his Friend. "We want him to have the best life, we know what it's like to harbor regret for our loved ones. We don't want that feeling of regret for him."

Sirius and Remus had the wrong idea about Chaldea, at first, they thought it was a threat to the Wizarding Community. True that may be on the powerful People they met, they seem to be kind People. "Well…can we see Ritsuka then? I want to speak to him, properly this time."

"Now isn't the best time for that," Mashu stated, knowing that Ritsuka was blowing off steam. "It's best when Ritsuka is calm. Right now he's blowing off steam."

Sirius was about to answer when Remus stepped in. "O-Of course, if my Parents showed up after being gone for many years then I would be angry." His voice heightens, giving hints for Sirius to stand down.

"Alright, I'll wait." Sirius stands down, understanding what his fellow Marauder is hinting at.


Mashu smiles, seeing they made the first step in repairing Ritsuka's relationship with his Father. "That's great to hear, Black-san, Lupin-san." She said to them, "I have to go soon, but know that even if there are People here against you, you still have me and Saber to talk to-"

"Lady Mashu, remember our purpose here other than master's situation." Agravain reminded the Assistant director of Chaldea. "We still need to know why they're here."

The violet-haired Woman nodded, appreciating the reminder. "Thank you for reminding me." She turns to the two Wizards, continuing their conversation. "If you two don't mind, can you tell us why you two went into the Mundane World? I know it's to check up on Ritsuka and Akari-san, but there's some other reason…right?" Mashu asked, sensing there's more to this.

Remus leans on the wall separating both him and Sirius. "What do you think, Sirius? Should we tell them?" The Werewolf asked his Friend.

Sirius shrugs, seeing that if he wants to make up the Past with his Son, he has to be honest as well. "Well, they could help us find my Godson." He said to the Werewolf. "I mean, they have Outposts and Manpower to spare."

"Godson?" Mashu looks at Agravain, seemingly agreeing with the terms. "Alright, we can help you in exchange for telling us your real purpose in coming." She explains, giving them the layout of the deal.

The two heard the deal, seeing it as a fair trade. "Alright, it's a deal," Sirius spoke, adjusting himself to tell them who they were looking for. "My Godson's name is Harry Potter, his full name is Harry James Potter."

Both Mashu and Agravain froze, hearing who the Wizards were looking for. The Guards froze as well, hearing the Person's name. "He's been targeted by a mad Pureblooded Wizard who goes by Voldemort, his Parents were killed protecting him. In the process, my Godson also defeated him in return." Sirius said, not afraid to say his name. "It's crucial that Harry must be found and be protected. Dumbledore believes that Voldemort will return and that he ordered his followers to find and kill him."

Remus nodded, seeing this as an opportunity. "Dumbledore might not like this, but seeing how powerful my Nephew is." The Werewolf said, already see James and Sirius as Brothers. It's natural for him to call their Sons his Nephews. "Is it possible to place Harry under your protection? He's just an eight-year-old who doesn't deserve to be hunted down like an Animal."

Both Wizards beg for the Chaldeans to shelter Harry. Sirius then took notice of the shocked expressions on the two faces as Weapons clang on the floor. "What's wrong? Did we ask too much?" Sirius asked them.

"I think we did, Sirius. Their face is in absolute disbelief." Remus said, pointing to their expression.

Mashu was the first to snap out of her daze, her eyes looked at her Father-in-law. "I-I'm sorry, did you say your Godson is Harry James Potter?" She asked, wanting him to clarify.

"Yes, I get he's a big deal with his name being the Boy-Who-Lived and that stu-"

"N-No, that's not it, Mr. Black. We are aware of the internal affairs with the Wizarding Community." Agravain said, interrupting the Son of Blacks.

"Then what is it?" Sirius asked, not getting why the air was awkward all of a sudden.

Mashu cleared her throat, seeing things had escalated with this information. "We didn't know about Godfathers in the records, just the ones we've made to rectify the orphanage's lack of proper records." She explains to the confused Men.

"Harry James Potter is here with us, in the Russian Outpost. Well, that's his previous name, he's now known as Harry James P. Fujimaru." Mashu explained to the two. "He's mine and Ritsuka's Adopted Son."

"…"

"…"

"EEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!?" Both Wizards' voices echo throughout the Halls of the Outpost.

Harry heard some screaming, prompting him to look at his Grandmother. "Grandmama, what's that screaming?" He asked, placing down the colored pencils Da Vinci gave.

Tiamat looks at both Da Vinci and Atalante Alter, shrugging their shoulders. "I'm…not sure…let's continue coloring, Harry." She said, minding that scream off.

The young Heir nodded, "Okay."


AN: So the next chapter is going to be a doozy, Sirius going to see what Ritsuka does and meets Harry as well. Anyways please leave a comment or review.
