Anyways, enjoy this chapter!
Update 8/13/2021: Upon completion of LB6 and Muramasa's fate, I had to rewrite a part.
Ritsuka looked at the summoning alter in front of him, doing his usual monthly summoning. "All right, let's see what I'm going to get today. Hopefully a good servant..." he thought as he placed some of the saint quartz he saved up on top of the alter. As he did, he then stepped back to let the summoning alter do its magic, hoping to get a servant from the ritual.
However, instead of a servant, all he ever got was craft essences, black keys, mapo tofu, and a bunch of random stuff.
"Damn it...nothing good came of this. Well, if that's the case...then I'll have to go big and place all of my saint quartz in!" he thought as he placed all of his saint quartz onto the summoning alter.
And just like before, all his saint quartz were gone, and in its place were more craft essences, black keys, mapo tofu, and other stuff.
Upon seeing all of his saint quartz gone and without getting a single servant, Ritsuka slumped down onto the ground, kneeling in despair. "Damn it...just HOW?! HOW IS IT THAT EVEN I USED UP ALL OF MY SAINT QUARTZ, I STILL DIDN'T EVEN GET A SINGLE SERVANT?! ALL I KEEP GETTING ARE MAPO TOFU, BLACK KEYS, AND A BUNCH OF STUFF THAT I DON'T NEED! JUST WHY?! WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE SUMMONING SYSTEM TODAY! I CAN TOLERATE THE FIRST FEW ROLLS, BUT THIS IS BULLSHIT!"
Soon, Ritsuka fell sideways onto the ground. "Does my luck hate me today or what...please, just give me a servant..." he muttered in despair.
Just as Ritsuka muttered those words, the alter began to light up, making Ritsuka look up at what was going to happen. The light from the alter immediately made Ritsuka cover his eyes for a moment. In a moment, blue orbs appeared and started to connect with each other. They then turned into a right of blue sparks and swirled around with each other, forming a ring that then split into three and continued to swirl around.
As the light faded, it revealed a gold card showing two people wearing jester costumes, one person was upside down.
"Yes! Finally, a servant! And it's an alter-ego class servant! But who though? There are not that many alter-ego class servants..."
The card then disappeared, revealing a young woman with shoulder-length red hair tied in a side-ponytail on the left side with a usually yellow hair band and a cowlick, light orange eyes, and was wearing a Chaldea uniform, the same one Ritsuka was wearing.
"A Chaldea uniform?! How is she wearing one?! Who is she?!"
"Um...I'm not so sure how to say this like how any servant would say it...ah, forget it! Servant, Alter-Ego! My name is Fujimaru Ritsuka, and I ask of you, are you my master?" she asked.
For a moment, Ritsuka was in complete silence before asking his supposed female counterpart one simple question.
"Um...you're Fujimaru Ritsuka?"
"Yeah. That's my name. Why?"
Ritsuka took a deep breath before giving his supposed female counterpart the news.
"T-That's my name as well."
Upon hearing the news, Ritsuka's supposed female counterpart was silent before freaking out.
"EHHHHHHHHHHH?! YOUR NAME IS FUJIMARU RITSUKA AS WELL?!" Ritsuka's supposed female counterpart yelled.
Ritsuka had to cover his ears as his supposed female counterpart yelled at him "Y-Yeah..."
"B-But how though?! Wait, does this mean...you're my male counterpart?!"
"I-I guess so..."
"Again, how though?! You don't even have the same hair color as me! And you're not even an adult yet! Did you dye your hair by any chance?!"
"No! In fact, I should ask you the same question! Did you dye your hair?!"
"No! My hair color was already like this since I was born!"
At that moment, Ritsuka was even more confused with his supposed female counterpart's words. "What the heck? From what I know right now, she's my female counterpart from an alternate timeline. But how though? I'm pretty sure that both of my parents didn't have any orange hair in their families, so how though?" Ritsuka thought as he looked at his supposed female counterpart.
"So, this is my supposed male counterpart in this world...but why is his hair black? I expected to see him with orange hair...maybe this timeline is more different than I thought..."
"Um...senpai...are you okay? And who's that person over there? Is that a new servant?" a voice said.
Upon hearing the voice, Ritsuka and his supposed female counterpart looked towards the entrance of the summoning room. As they did, they say Mashu, who was standing there. While Ritsuka looked at Mashu normally, his supposed female counterpart was a different story.
"Oh, hey there-"
"MAASSSHHHUUU!" Ritsuka's supposed female counterpart yelled in happiness as she jumped off from the summoning alter and lunged towards Mashu, giving her a surprise hug. "I missed you so much!"
"W-Wah! W-Who are you?!" Mashu asked in surprise but was ignored by her attacker. "S-Senpai! Who is this servant?!" she asked nervously.
Ritsuka let out a small sigh. "Mashu...this is my supposed female counterpart from another universe."
Mashu's mouth dropped upon hearing Ritsuka's words. "Ehhhhhhhh?! This servant...is your female counterpart from another universe?!"
"Y-Yeah..." Ritsuka replied.
"H-How though?! I mean, we know the Throne of Heroes can extend to any time period in any universe, but this is crazy! And plus, how come her hair color is different from yours senpai?! Did she dye it?!"
"That's what I thought at first, but apparently that's not the case! Not only that, but she also has the same name as me!"
"Hey! What's going on here?!" a new voice yelled.
Ritsuka, his supposed female counterpart, and Mashu looked at the source of the voice, which was Olga Marie.
Upon seeing her, Ritsuka's supposed female counterpart looked at them in shock. "Director?" she asked.
"Hm? Who are you? And how do you know who I am? And that outfit of yours...you're from Chaldea?" Olga Marie asked.
For a moment, nothing happened between everyone as Ritsuka's supposed female counterpart just looked at her in shock. Then in an instant, she ran up towards her and gave her a giant hug.
"DIRECTOR! YOU'RE HERE AS WELL! THIS IS TRULY A GOOD DAY!" Ritsuka's supposed female counterpart yelled with happiness as tears were falling off from her face.
"W-What?! Who are you! And get off me this instant!" Olga Marie yelled, showing that she was not used to this. Ritsuka's supposed female counterpart then quickly released her, allowing her to breath. "All right...now that I've got some air to breath...let's get this straight. Who are you?" she asked.
"Me? Well...I'm Fujimaru Ritsuka," Ritsuka's supposed female counterpart replied.
At that moment, Olga Marie's mouth dropped. "WWWWHHHHAAAATTTT?!"
"Y-Yeah..." Ritsuka's supposed female counterpart said as she covered her ears. "Man, I miss hearing that voice..."
"Y-Y-You're Fujimaru Ritsuka?!" Olga Marie asked in disbelief.
"Yeah. From another timeline that is," Ritsuka's supposed female counterpart replied.
For a moment, Olga Marie was silent as she was processing the information she just received. After a few minutes, she then grabbed Ritsuka's supposed female counterpart's hand and started to drag her off.
"Hm? Director? What are you doing?" Ritsuka asked.
"I'm borrowing her for a moment. I need some answers," Olga Marie replied.
Ritsuka's supposed female counterpart let out a small sigh at the room she was in, which looked like an interrogation room. "Wow. It's my first day as a servant in Chaldea from an alternate world, and I'm already brought here...man, this is not how I expected things to happen here..."
Soon, the door to the room opened, revealing Olga Marie. She then sat down on the remaining chair. "So...you're the new servant Ritsuka summoned today?" she asked.
"Yes. That's right," Ritsuka's supposed female counterpart replied.
"Hm...okay, according to what Ritsuka said earlier, your name is Fujimaru Ritsuka as well?"
"Yes."
"Hm...well this is complicated. Do you have another name to go by so that way we won't get confused with the other Ritsuka?"
Ritsuka's supposed female counterpart gave Olga Marie's question some thought. After a few seconds, she came to an answer. "Well, call me Gudako in this case. That's a nickname I went by in my timeline."
"I see. Well then Gudako, let me ask you this. Who are you actually?"
"Well...before I became a servant, I was a master of Chaldea from another universe. Speaking of which, what happened to Chaldea in this timeline? It looks different from what I remember."
Olga Marie was confused for a moment. "Different from what she remembered?" she thought as she was writing down Gudako's words. "Anyways, here is a list of what happened in Chaldea up until now. You can read it if you want," Olga Marie said as she handed her a tablet. As she did, Gudako then looked at the tablet and checked at the events that were included in the tablet.
"Hm...looks like this universe's Chaldea is like mine, although there are a few differences..." she thought as she read over the many events. However, she stopped when she came across a certain event.
Which was the day Emiya Shirou summoned in Chaldea.
"What the heck?! Who is this person, and why does he look like gramps from both Shimousa and the sixth lostbelt?! Furthermore, he even has his noble phantasm along with a second one that's the same as the red archer!" she thought as she continued to look at the tablet. As she did, she saw the arrival of Musashi, Hakuno, Caster Arturia, Proto-Merlin, Sieg, Caren, and both Romani and Olga Marie. "What the heck is going on in this universe's Chaldea?! Caster Arturia, Scathach Skadi, and many others from the lostbelts are here already! And the doctor is here as well?! What the heck is going on here?!"
"Are you all right over there?" Olga Marie asked, snapping Gudako out of her thoughts.
"Hm? Ah, yeah. I'm just surprised...at how different this universe's Chaldea is different from the one I used to be in..." Gudako replied as she handed her the tablet back to Olga Marie.
"I see. So, you used to be the master of your universe's Chaldea?" Olga Marie asked.
"Yeah. You don't sound surprised, director."
Olga Marie let out a sigh. "Well, the Throne of Heroes extend to any time and place, so I figured something like this would happen someday...speaking of which, how different is it from your universe's Chaldea?"
Gudako was silent for a moment before continuing the conversation. "Well...to summarize it, it seems that Chaldea hasn't been attacked yet in this timeline..."
Olga Marie was surprised at that moment. "What?"
"It's a long story. You see, on December 31, 2017, Chaldea was attacked by Rasputin, who went by the name Kotomine Kirei, Koyanskaya, and Anastasia. During the attack, nearly all of the staff were killed, and all of humanity was bleached," Gudako stated with a sigh in the end.
Olga Marie was shocked upon hearing Gudako's words. "You're kidding me..."
"I wish. Furthermore, in order to restore humanity, we had to travel though something called lostbelts, which were timelines that the history of 'losers' born from the wrong choices and mistaken prosperity is cut off. They created by fantasy trees in case if you were wondering."
Olga Marie quickly wrote down Gudako's words for future reference, showing that she was interested in her words. "I see. Go on."
"Anyways, these lostbelts were managed by the former A-team, who were revived by an unknown force."
Olga Marie nearly dropped her pen. "What?! The A-team members were revived?!"
"Yeah. And furthermore, we found out that an alien god, also known as "the VII of the End," was responsible for the A-teams revival, the attack on Chaldea, the bleaching of humanity, and the lostbelts themselves. The reason why she started all of this was to ensure that she would descend to here. And do you want to know what the worst part was?"
"What?"
Gudako let out a sigh. "The alien god used your body."
Olga Marie was stunned. "What?"
"Yes. Somehow, the alien god used your body before moving on to a new one..."
Upon hearing Gudako's words, Olga Marie couldn't help but feel shock and anger over the fact that her body was used to house an alien god. "An alien god...used my body...to destroy humanity?! That is the biggest insult! How dare that alien god use my body to destroy humanity! That's my body, and I decide how to use it! Because that is me!"
Olga Marie then calmed down from the rage that was building up inside of her. "Okay. So, what happened next?"
"Well, with the remaining help we had, we managed to beat all of the lostbelts and that was it. However, during the final fight against the alien god, Mashu...well..."
"What happened?! Spit it out!"
"Mashu...died..."
At that moment, Olga Marie dropped her pen and clipboard. "What?"
"Yeah. In my timeline...Mashu died."
The room was completely silent for a moment before Olga Marie continued the conversation. "How?"
Gudako took a deep breath before continuing the conversation. "During the final battle against the alien god, she sacrificed her life to save me from a life-taking blast from her..."
"I see...and what happened next?"
"Well...in my rage...I grabbed Mashu's shield...and began to beat her with it. And when that wasn't enough, I proceeded to beat her with my own bare hands..." Gudako muttered.
Silence occurred in the room once again. Nobody didn't say anything for a few minutes until Olga Marie continued the conversation. "I see...well, at least you avenged her..." she said.
"Yeah...by the way, can I ask you something?"
"Sure. What is it?"
Gudako then pointed to the date that showed Shirou's arrival. "This servant, Emiya Shirou...why does he look like gramps? And how did he possess his noble phantasm along with the addition of another?"
Olga Marie was confused for a moment. "Gramps?"
"Sengo Muramasa."
"Ah. From what I heard from Da Vinci and the others, he's supposed to be Shirou's ancestor, and they actually look a lot like each other surprisingly. Furthermore, he's the psuedo-servant vessel to him as well."
"I see...now after seeing the tablet, I'm even more confused with this timeline."
"What do you mean by that?"
"Well, first of all, in my timeline, I didn't have a servant that went by the name of Emiya Shirou. And second, one of servants that was mentioned in the tablet is a servant from the sixth lostbelt in my timeline."
Olga Marie was surprised. "Really?! Which one?!"
"Her," she replied as she pointed at Caster Arturia's profile.
Olga Marie then looked at the tablet, which showed a picture of Caster Arturia. "This alternate counterpart of the King of Knights? She's a servant from the sixth lostbelt in your timeline?"
"Yeah. And believe it or not, gramps was there as well."
"Really?!" Olga Marie asked, even more surprised than before.
"Yeah. Originally, he was on the alien god's side, but we had to join forces at one point in the lostbelts. Then a lot of stuff happened, and well, he sacrificed himself to help us..."
"I see..." Olga Marie said as she placed her pen and clipboard down. "Wow. To think this would happen to Chaldea in your timeline..."
"Yeah. Believe it or not, I was happy seeing Mashu again earlier. However, I know that's not the same Mashu from my timeline, so I already accepted that she doesn't know me. But...it still hurts. Not to mention the fact that I'm going to see some familiar servants from my timeline..."
Olga Marie let out a sigh. "I know. But you'll have to get used to it."
"I know director. I know," Gudako said with a small smile.
Olga Marie let out a small smile. "Hmph. Anyways, welcome to Chaldea, Gudako. And thank you for the information that you provided me. This will be a great asset for Chaldea in the future, and we'll make sure to avert the events you said earlier."
"Yeah. It's a pleasure to work with you, director."
"Likewise."
At that moment, the door to the interrogation room was opened, revealing both Romani and Da Vinci at the entrance.
"Hey director, I've heard that we have a new servant. Is this true?" Da Vinci asked.
"Yes. And believe it or not, but she's-" Olga Marie said, but was cut off.
Because in an instant, Gudako immediately jumped out of her seat and headed towards both Romani and Da Vinci, giving both a hug. "Doctor! Da Vinci! I missed you!" she exclaimed in happiness.
Both Romani and Da Vinci were surprised at the hug. "D-Director! Who is this woman?!" he asked.
Olga Marie let out a sigh as she finished the sentence she was about to say. "That's Fujimaru Ritsuka...from another timeline. However, call her Gudako in this case so we won't get the other Fujimaru Ritsuka mixed up."
"EHHHHHHHHHH?!" Both Romani and Da Vinci yelled in shock.
Shirou was walking down the hallway, minding his own business. As he did, he came across Gudako, who was walking with a smile on her face.
"Hm? I haven't seen her before. That outfit...looks like a new member of Chaldea arrived today. But this is weird...she feels familiar, but how..."
As Shirou and Gudako continued to walk towards each other, Gudako accidentally bumped in Shirou.
"Oh, sorry," Gudako apologized.
"No problem," Shirou replied.
As both said their apologies, Gudako looked into Shirou's eyes for a moment. She then continued to stare into Shirou's eyes, making him uncomfortable for a moment. "W-What?"
"Hm...you look like him...but a bit younger..."
"Um...sorry to ask, but who are you?"
"Hm? Oh, I'm Fujimaru Ritsuka, but call me Gudako in this case."
At this moment, Shirou was dumbfounded. "What the heck?!"
