AN: So, after South America, it's back to good old Britain. It'll be short since I wanted to add something that I didn't get a chance to in the beginning parts. Anyway, enjoy the chapter.
Ch 43 The Heir of Chaldea Pt 2
It's starting to pour hard, the once-cleared sky was replaced by rain clouds only in the area of the Grail Front. Nitocris Alter held her hands out, summoning more Undead Spirits to fight her Rival.
Harry watches down below where Nitocris transformed into her Alter form, "So that's what she means her Alter form." He said, watching the Pharoah sending Undead Spirits at Tlaloc. "I think she's more powerful than her original form…" He commented, seeing the Alter's power on the same level as Tlaloc.
Tlaloc dodges the Attack, pulling back her Whip as Stone Aztec Heads fell once, she whips her Weapon.
Nitocris Alter dodges the Attack and retaliates with a Shadow of Ammit to attack her Rival.
In response, Tlaloc transforms herself into a large Mecha to counter the Shadow of the Divine Spirit.
Both the Shadow of Ammit and the Tlaloc fought, locking in combat.
"Ammit!" Nitocris Alter held her hand, signaling for the Egyptian Divine Beast to attack the City.
Ammit opened his jaws, biting down on Tlaloc's Mecha arm. "Your Divine Beast's bit is ineffective against one made of Stone," Tlaloc stated, punching the Divine Beast away as he turned to shadows.
"It's merely a distraction, Tenochtitlan." Tlaloc looks up, seeing her Rival coming for her.
With a single strike, Nitocris Alter's punches the temporary Body of the Pretender. The Mecha shattered, as Tlaloc leaps away unscathed. "Heh, impressive. But it's not enough to weigh me down, Nitocris Alter!" She raised her Whip, snapping it at the Avenger.
Nitocris Alter once again opens her arms, "Anpu Neb Ta Djeser…" She released her Original form's Noble Phantasm, sending her Spirits after Tlaloc.
Above the Sky, Harry was amazed by the powers of both Nitocris Alter and Tlaloc. "Here I thought Nitocris was strong enough, but her Alter form can match with Tlaloc," Harry commented,
"Si, both Nitocris and Tlaloc always had this rivalry since Lostbelt Seven. Tlaloc was an Enemy during that time and Nitocris was the only Servant that could defend master and the others." Quetzalcoatl explains the background between both Nitocris and Tlaloc. "Even when they were Summoned again, they still retain their memories of their meeting and Battles."
Quetzalcoatl could not help but see her Brother just sitting on top of the Ziggurat, watching the Battle. "Is something wrong, Big Sis?" Harry looks up at the Divine Spirit, seeing her face was serious as if she was deep in her thoughts.
"Hmm? Oh, sorry, I was pondering why Hermano hasn't budged from the top of the Ziggurat." Quetzalcoatl explains to the young master. "Whenever he's like this, it's troubling…"
Harry understands what the Rider is saying. He looks down below, seeing the Servants sided with him was still in combat. "Big Sis, shouldn't I at least help them out? I can use the Spell that Circe taught me to provide cover."
"No, just wait a little longer, Little master. You'll have your chance once we sneak behind Hermano." The blonde Goddess said, now flying over the Ziggurat undetected by Tezcatlipoca. "Speaking of which, we're here! Down, my Wing Serpents." She ordered her Mount.
The Quetzalcoatlus dove down into the Rainforest, landing on the ground right behind the Ziggurat.
Back on the Field, Ereshkigal was sending her Lances at Izcalli who dodged each of them with speed. "As expected from a Zealot of Tezcatlipoca, but you forget, Izcalli. I am the Mistress of the Underworld, I won't back down that easily." She announced,
Izcalli swiftly dodges each Lance that was thrown at him. "I don't care for what type of Goddess you are, Ereshkigal." The Avenger spoke, aiming his Guns at her. He shot a couple of Bullets at the Goddess, "Now die,"
Ereshkigal saw the incoming Bullets, prompting her to summon Gallu Spirits to defend her. "Damn, I have to admit, he's quick on his feet." She said, continuing to attack with her Spirits.
On the other side of the Battle, Zhou Yu and Beni-Enma were on the move. Camaztoz was a struggle, not only did his Class outclass them but his Attacks were everywhere.
"Ahahahaha!" Camazotz laughs, sending smoke projectiles at the two Servants. "Come, show me what you can do, Servants who side with the Little Monkey!" The Beast laughs, flying in the air.
Zhou Yu clicked his tongue, leaping forward once the smoke slammed into the ground. The Archer rolled on the ground, sliding, then pulled back his Bow. "HA!" He shot three flaming arrows at the Beast.
Camazotz grins, raising his Scythe to counter the Arrows. "Mere Arrows are nothing to mere, Archer! Hahahaha!" The Beast laughs about to swing his Weapon,
However, just when Camazotz was about to swat the Arrows away. They exploded once they were close enough to his face.
"Ngh!" Camazotz fell from the Sky, however, he unfolded his wings to lessen the impact. Now standing, the Beast Class Servant glares at Zhou Yu for bringing him down from the Sky. "H-How dare you! How dare you try to strip me of my wings! Don't think Camazotz will fall that easily!?" He asked.
Zhou Yu stood up, looking at his opponent. "Of course not, a single Servant like me can do so much on his own against a Beast." The Archer said before smiling at him. "However, two Servants can make a difference,"
Camazotz froze, realizing he lost track of Beni-Enma, "Where-"
Leaping from behind, Beni-Enma appears with her Sword unsheathed. "Sei!" The Saber slashed Camazotz's back, causing him to stumble forward.
"GAH!" Camazotz cries, feeling the blade scratch his back before laughing it off.
Beni-Enma slides on the ground, right next to Zhou Yu. "Thith is going to be tough. I have only been able to scratch him," The Cut Tongue Sparrow stated, holding her Blade ready for another attack. "As expected of Camazotz. His skin is so thick that a slash is like a paper cut."
"We know that he's not invincible, Saber." Zhou Yu stated, materializing more Arrows. "Follow my lead," He said, aiming his Bow at Camazotz.
Beni-Enma nodded, trusting the Strategist's plan. "Hai, lead the way, Archer." The Saber skips across the field, attempting to repeat the Attack.
The Beast looks at his Opponents, repeating the Strategy before. "Camazotz knows what you two are doing!" Camazotz laughs, turning to Beni-Enma, already behind him to strike,
"HA!" Camazotz swung his Scythe at Beni-Enma, however, she slashed through the slash.
"HAAAA!" Beni-Enma brought down her blade at the Beast, but he used his claws to halt her strike.
Camazotz grins, seeing the shocked expression on the Yokai's face. However, Beni-Enma was smiling at him, as if he had fallen for a trap. His eyes turn to the side, seeing Zhou Yu launching himself with a Spear.
"Sei!" Zhou Yu shouted and slashed at Camazotz.
Tezcatlipoca watches as Tlaloc fights with Nitocris Alter, Ereshkigal fights Izcalli to a standstill, and the fight with Camazotz between him, Beni-Enma, and Zhou Yu. "And so, the Battle went on. Reminds me of when the master was my Enemy in the Lostbelt." The Grand Assassin commented as he smiled at the memories. "I wonder where the Little master and Quetzalcoatl went off to…well, they'll show up eventually."
In the Jungle, right next to the Ziggurat, Quetzalcoatl assisted Harry down from the Quetzalcoatlus.
Once Harry was settled on the ground, he turned to Quetzalcoatl. "Big Sis, what's the plan here?" He asked as Fou leaped off the Mount and onto Harry's shoulders.
"The plan is the same. I face Hermano while you reach the top of the Ziggurat." The blonde Goddess explains once more what Harry should do.
Harry looks up at the Ziggurat, his eyes catch Tezcatlipoca just sitting on top of the Ziggurat. "Tezcatlipoca, he's just sitting there on the very top." He observes the Grand Assassin.
"Fou? Fou, Fou," Fou didn't like how the God of the Night was just sitting at the top.
The black-haired Boy looks at Fou, hearing his voice in an uncertain tone. "I get what you mean, Fou. It's suspicious that Tezcatlipoca is just sitting there…"
Quetzalcoatl approaches Harry from the back, looking at her Brother. "I know what Hermano is doing. Most likely he knows that we're coming." The Rider stated, being the best person who knows what Tezcatlipoca's tricks are.
Harry looks at the Aztec Goddess, hearing what she said. "Then we can't just sneak up to the Ziggurat if he knows we're coming." He said,
"Not entirely, follow my lead, Little master," Quetzalcoatl stated, exiting the Rainforest with Harry following behind.
Tezcatlipoca was just watching the Battle below him before looking up, "Ah…so this is how you're going to fight, eh, Coatl?" The Assassin asked as Quetzalcoatl leaped in the air with her Macuahuitl coming down onto him,
Tezcatlipoca dodges his Sister's Attack, leaping down to the second level of the Ziggurat. Looking up at where Quetzalcoatl attacked, he could see her slowly standing up within the dust cloud. "Wow, that's a pretty good dodge there, Hermano!" She smiles, pointing at him.
"I'm going to give you fifty points- no, forty points!" Quetzalcoatl stated,
"Damn, not even going to give me a proper scoring system." Tezcatlipoca shrugs, not caring for his Sister's scoring points. "Well, whatever. I expected as much that you'll be fighting me,"
The blonde God looks around, searching for someone. "So, where's the Little master?" Tezcatlipoca asked Quetzalcoatl,
Quetzalcoatl leaps down to the second level, holding her Macuahuitl at her Brother. "That's not your real concern, no? After all, I am here for a Lucha Libre fight with you, Hermano." She grins, her teeth sharpening as she looks at him.
"Shame, but since you asked for it…" Tezcatlipoca dashed forward, his Pistol aiming at his Sister's forehead. "I'll give you a Luchador fight worth remembering," He pulled the trigger, shooting at his Sister,
The Rider flips over, the Bullet almost hits her head. She flips back, kicking the Pistol out of Tez's hands. "Ha! Quick as ever, Big Sister is very pleased!" Quetzalcoatl leaps forward, grabbing her Brother around his waist,
Quetzalcoatl slides on the bricks about to bend back and slam Tezcatlipoca onto the stone Ruins. "HHAAAA!"
Tezcatlipoca dissipates into black smoke before Quetzalcoatl can do her finishing blow. "Nice try Quetz, but you're not the only one who knows their tricks." The Grand Assassin materialized behind her, now holding an Axe.
"HEYA!" Tezcatlipoca lunges forward, slashing his Axe at his Sister, only to have her use her Macuahuitl to counter.
Sparks fly all over the place from the two Weapons, "How long can you keep this up, Coatl?" Tezcatlipoca asked, having the advantage as he pushed down onto the Goddess. "Even though we came from the same Pantheon, I'm on a higher level than you."
Quetzalcoatl clenched her teeth before pushing Tezcatlipoca to the side. "It doesn't matter, Hermano." She leaps down, slamming her Weapon onto the third-level floor.
Tezcatlipoca dodges, switching his Axe with his trusted Pistol. "As long as you're here, then yours truly will always oppose you. Even if we're on the same side now," Quetzalcoatl winks at her Brother.
"Despite a serious statement, you're awfully cheery," Tezcatlipoca stated before grinning. "Gonna be honest here, it's been a while since I had an actual good fight." The Assassin stated, ready to Attack.
The blonde Rider smirks, raising her Macuahuitl at Tezcatlipoca. "Then let's continue our Battle, shall we?" Quetzalcoatl asked,
Tezcatlipoca didn't respond, "Heh," He and Quetzalcoatl lunged at each other clashing their Weapons.
On the other side of the Ziggurat, Harry ran throughthe second level. Both he and Quetzalcoatl decided it was the safest option to be undetected by Tezcatlipoca,
The plan was for Quetzalcoatl to get the Assassin to the third level where Harry could show his virtue. Harry was running for a good while, unsure of what was going on at the other side of Ziggurat.
He could hear all the fighting on the other side, mainly the fight between Quetzalcoatl and Tezcatlipoca. Harry looks up, hearing loud explosions from the other side, "Well…it's expected that the two strongest of the Aztec Pantheon would cause a huge fight…"
"Fou, Fou." Fou nodded, agreeing with the young Heir.
Soon enough, Harry reaches the corner of the Ruins, making a quick sharp right. He continued to run on the side of the Ziggurat, reaching to the edge.
Upon arrival, Harry and Fou saw Tezcatlipoca shooting Quetzalcoatl while she deflected the Bullets with her Macuahuitl with a grin.
The Rider leaps forward, slashing at Tezcatlipoca at every side however he dodges each slash. Quetzalcoatl then proceeded to get up close to him, but he retaliated by turning into black smoke.
"Tch," Quetzalcoatl leaps back, seeing Harry on the corner already. She winks at him, giving him the signal to proceed as she lands on the fourth level.
"That's the signal, Fou," Harry said, quickly running to the stairway that leads to the top.
Tezcatlipoca soon came back together, looking down at his Sister. "Is that all you got, Quetz? You know as I do that, we can do this forever." The Grand Assassin stated before continuing with his questions. "What exactly is your plan here?"
Quetzalcoatl looks up, standing on the fourth-level stairs. "Si, we could, but I was just keeping you busy so the Little master could get to the front without you realizing it." The Rider looks at Harry, now standing on the level behind the Grand Assassin. (Insert Blue Sky Wayfarer (Fate/Grand Order OST)
Tezcatlipoca looks behind him, seeing Harry aiming his newly acquired Wand from Circe. "Hmm,"
"Alright…the Spell…" Harry took a deep breath, aiming his Wand at the Divine Spirit. He focuses his Magic on one single output,
His Wand's Magical Circuits glowed, and a Spell Circle appeared at the center core of the Wand before two more appeared. One near the tip then the other, more large one at the end.
Everyone watches Harry, aiming his Wand at Tezcatlipoca. Gilgamesh raises a brow, impressed by what he sees. "Oh? A Spell derived from the Goddess Hecate's Noble Phantasm…this will be interesting…"
"What do you mean, Spell from Hecate…Gil." The Servants froze, turning to see their master standing behind them with Mashu beside him.
Circe gave a light chuckle, scooching away from her master's view. "Walking away~"
Ritsuka shifts his attention to his Son, now standing on the Ziggurat.
Harry looks down at Tezcatlipoca as his Wand is charging up. Soon, his Wand clicked, indicating it was ready. "Alright, Rain of Light: the Spell of the Goddess Hecate!" Harry cried out, the Spell Circles spun rapidly as it made a whirling sound.
"Machia Hecatia Graea!"
The Spell spun as a ball of light appeared before it. The ball of light sparks before blasting at least nine rays at Tezcatlipoca before they exploded once made contact with him.
Izcalli looks up, seeing the Boy manage to blast the God of the Night. "Great Tezcatlipoca!" The Avenger rushed forward, attempting to help his God.
Ereshkigal steps forward, stopping him. "Oh no you don't!" She implanted her Lance into the ground, calling for red lightning down upon the Lostbelt Servant.
Harry huffs, never actually performed that Spell before. "Heh…I guess the real deal is much more draining than practicing with the motion and speech." He chuckles, eyeing Fou. (End Song)
"Fou, Fou-" Fou commented before growling at the area where Tezcatlipoca stood.
Harry could hear clapping from within the smoke, "Impressive, you got balls of steel, Little master." Once the smoke cleared, Harry saw the Grand Assassin unscathed by his Spell.
"W-Wha…"
Tezcatlipoca smiles, wiping away the spec of dust from his jacket. "Normally I would just give you the win here after displaying such a ballsy Spell." The blonde God stated, "But then, I said to myself a moment ago…' If this Kid is going to be the next master of Chaldea/Humanity. Why not give him the experience as his Father.'" The Assassin stated,
"Tezcatlipoca, what are you-"
"Ehēcatl, ehēcatl. Yohualli ehēcatl, titlacahuan." A sudden dust storm engulfs the entire area, Quetzalcoatl tries to stop her Brother from deploying his Noble Phantasm, however, she misses.
Harry steps back, seeing the silhouette of Tezcatlipoca ascend to the sky. A large thing was erupting from the ground, "W-What's going on?" He asked the Goddess of the Sun.
"It's Hermano's Noble Phantasm…" Quetzalcoatl stated, standing with Harry as the dust faded,
"Time for annihilation, go to the next World," Tezcatlipoca smirks, standing on a large Skeleton Mecha that was spewing out red mist everywhere.
"Tonal Tepēyōllōtl" Tezcatlipoca shouted as a red ball of energy charged at the center of the arms.
Quetzalcoatl looks at Harry wanting him to get out of here. "Little master, we have to go, now!" She grabs onto Harry, leaping up to the top of the Ziggurat.
Harry didn't have time to react, he looked from the back of Quetzalcoatl. Tezcatlipoca's Noble Phantasm takes out a chunk of the frontal area of the Ziggurat. "W-What is Tezcatlipoca doing? I thought it was only to show him what I made of?" He asked the Rider.
"Like we said, Tezcatlipoca is not like any other Servant in Chaldea, Pequeño," Quetzalcoatl stated, reaching the top of the Ziggurat. "Not because he's a Grand Servant, but he's also-"
"The God of War." Tezcatlipoca reaches up the Ziggurat with his Skeleton Mecha. "As the God of War in the Aztec Pantheon, it's my job to see what you're made of. Even to an Enemy who is completely a level way beyond your own."
Quetzalcoatl turns around, looking at her Brother. "Well, if you want to get to the Little master. You need to face me, Hermano!" The Rider said, ready to lunge at the Assassin.
Tezcatlipoca frowns before smirking. "No…I don't think so." He turns around to the Servants still fighting, "Camazotz, a little help?" He called out to the Beast.
Camazotz was still defending from both Beni-Enema and Zhou Yu's Attacks. He then heard Tezcatlipoca call him and grinned, "Sorry, but Camazotz has to take this." The Beast looks at the two Servants, leaping at him.
"Like we let you-" With a single flap of his wings, Camazotz blew the two away before taking off to the skies.
Quetzalcoatl lunges forward, inches away from her Brother. "Aidios, Hermano-" In a flash, Camazotz has appeared, grabbing the Rider from the air.
"AHAHAHAHA! Camazotz will remember this, Tezcatlipoca!" The Beast took Quetzalcoatl away, throwing her to the ground beneath him.
The blonde Rider fell to the ground before forcing herself up. "Camazotz you fiend!" Quetzalcoatl growls, seeing the Lostbelt Servant land in front of her. "Why did you take me away from the Little master!?"
Camazotz grins, having his reason. "Because Camazotz wants to, Tezcatlipoca owes me for this. And Camazotz wants something given by Tezcatlipoca." The Beast stated, slamming his Scythe to the ground.
"I don't have time for this!" Quetzalcoatl rushes forward, only for Camazotz to block her path.
"If you want to get to the Little Monkey, then you have to get past me." Camazotz grins, his throat opens, revealing a second mouth, and attacks the Goddess of the Sun.
Back on top of the Ziggurat, Harry stood tall despite being in a situation that was scary for anyone, he stayed brave. "Now, it's just you and me, Little master," Tezcatlipoca said, still standing on his Mecha's head. "As much as I want things to go my way, I better teach you a lesson on how to be a master." He said, about to leap down.
Fou prepared himself in case anything Tezcatlipoca might dish out.
Harry held his Wand, "Flames!" Harry cried out, using a Fire Rune to send Flames at the God. However, the Assassin raised his hand as the Mech's arms blocked the flames. "Still have some fight in ya, I like it. But can you dodge this?"
The Mech rose up, towering over Harry. "Now begone Little master!" The arm came rushing down to Harry, causing him to crouch down, and Fou leaped down about to teleport him to safety.
However, just when he was about to bring his arm down before Harry. It stopped like something was restraining it.
"Why am I not surprised,"
Harry looks up, seeing his Uncle flying above them. "Attacking my Nephew like that, you're definitely an Aztec God; even if you were only aiming for the ground before him," Kingu stated, his hand held out with a golden portal behind him.
"U-Uncle!" Harry exclaims, not expecting him to help out like this.
Tezcatlipoca looks at the dark green-haired Lancer, seeing his Noble Phantasm was stopped. "Well shit, Kingu. I didn't expect you to be on the side of the Little master." The Grand Assassin said, expecting him to be on his side or at least on the Neutral side.
Kingu smirks, raising his head. "Let's just say…it's a request from Little Brother." The Lancer looks at Ritsuka who held his hand out, indicating he used a Command Seal on him.
The blonde God saw their master, and seeing his face was less than pleased. "Ah…right," Tezcatlipoca sighs, 'Well…it was fun as it lasted…'
"Oh, by the way…." Kingu spoke, prompting the Assassin to look at the Lancer. "Little Brother used two Command Seals. You get the picture now?" The Lancer hums, (Insert Unmei GRAND BATTLE (Babylonia Version)
"Two? I didn-" Tezcatlipoca leaps back, seeing a slash that he dodged. He leaps down behind Harry as his Noble Phantasm is dismissed. "Damnit, he's here!"
Harry looks at Tezcatlipoca, now standing before him. "Child of Chaldea, are thou alright?" A chilling voice spoke to him.
Harry turns to his side, seeing an old, hooded Man prostrating an old Sword appearing next to him. "H-Huh? H-How-when did you get here?" He asked the Old Man.
"I have been keeping a watchful eye on thee. Thou hast showed thy strength in Battle." The Old Man spoke in old English, something Harry hadn't heard up to now. "Thine own heart is filled with determination, unshaken by the Smoking Mirror. As such, your wilt shall be my body and my Sword shall be your Destiny."
The Old Man spoke, stepping in front of Harry. "From here and beyond, I shall be thine own Sword." He said, glaring at Tezcatlipoca. "The Evening Bell has blessed thou, use Azrael as thou wish."
"W-Wait, what do you mean Azrael is mine to command? Who are you?" Harry asked, flinched once he saw blue flames engulf the Old Man. "Y-You're on fir-"
"Child of my Contractor, thou hast must've heard of me. I have come requested by thine own Father to serve thou." The Flames burst revealing a large imposing black armored figure with a Skull mask and a sharper blade than before.
Harry's mouth hung open, seeing something out of a video game come to life. "From the Mountain Abyss, I have come. Child blessed by the Evening Bell, my title is the First Grand Assassin, the First Hassan-i-Sabbah ." King Hassan's eyes flashed, glaring at Tezcatlipoca.
