Ritsuka stood next to Gudako near the front of the room. Ari stood back with Ghost, who both observed what was going on. Mash placed her Shield in the center of a strange circle. Ari leaned forward, just enough to be near Ritsuka's ear to whisper.

"Was this how I was summoned?" Ari asked in a hushed voice; Mash stepped away and stepped away behind the two twins. There was a moment of silence between Ari and Ritsuka.

"I am not too sure, it happened far too fast," Ritsuka whispered in response. Ari nodded standing straight.

There was a window to the side of them, showing a small control room. Da Vinci and Roman stood observing the group. They watched them, with Da Vinci not allowing Roman to touch a thing, but a small button near a microphone.

There was a small click when he pressed the button. "This our first proper summoning, it's invigorating, who else is excited show of hands?" he asked. Gudako shot her hand up immediately followed by Ritsuka and Ari.

Ghost shook his body, "I can't raise my hand." Which caused a small giggle from Ari to be released.

"It's ok, Ghost-san. I didn't raise my hand either," Mash said, attempting to make Ghost happy.

Roman rubbed his chin, centering thought. Wondering who should go first, without causing a scene. Da Vinci noticed his face and gave an amused smile.

"If you are having a problem finding a solution, why not ask that anime girl you watch all the time," Da Vinci suggested in a joking manner, only to see Roman's face light up.

"One, she is a V-tuber, and two, that is a brilliant idea," Roman chirped, grabbing his phone from his back pocket - which miraculously still had a signal.

"I was joking," Da Vinci muttered to herself while he typed away on his phone. There was a muffled feminine voice coming from it.


Ritsuka and Gudako turned their heads to the window, to see what was going on, both with a somewhat confused looks on their faces. They saw Da Vinci attempting to wrestle with Roman for his phone.

"They seem to be having fun," Ritsuka quipped sarcastically, earning an amused chuckle from Ari behind him.

"The same fun that we have at family game nights," Gudako added causing her brother to giggle slightly. Mash stood there with a curious expression as they waited for the two to finish.

There was a small click from the intercom when Da Vinci's voice came through yelling. "Give me the phone, Romani!"

This was soon followed by a definite "NO" from the pink-haired doctor. Ari and Ghost watch on with great amusement, remembering a time in the Last City. Wolf and E were arguing about Vault management and organization, or Wolf's lack of it; she couldn't exactly remember.

Soon the two disappeared under the table with Da Vinci popping up with the phone, followed by a rather distraught Dr. Romani. There was another click on the intercom. "Who wants to go first?"

Gudako immediately shot her hand up, with Ritsuka a bit slow on the draw. "I want to go first," she chirped rather happily as she looked at the glass. Ritsuka hung his head with Mash patting his back.

"See was it that hard," Da Vinci asked, with her voice muffled through the intercom. Which was followed by a muffled inaudible voice.

Gudako had a massive smile on her face before a question hit her. "What do I do?" she asked.

"just put your hand out and the machine will do the rest," Roman started over the intercom, followed by a rather quiet, "I think."

Gudako took her hand out and they were surrounded by a wonderous blue sphere. It looked almost digital in a way, reminding Ari of the Vex Network. Orbs appeared in front of Gudako, slowly spinning before quickly picking up pace. Suddenly a pillar of golden light shot upward. Ritsuka and Ari covered their eyes while Gudako stood there. The tattoo that she had in the Singularity slowly drew itself upon her hand. It felt like a slight tingle.

The golden light died down revealing four people, and a bowl of spicy ramen on the floor. One Gudako recognized as Cu Chulainn, though his robes were gone, replaced by silver pauldrons on his shoulders. He held a red spear in his hand, the famed Gae Boldg.

"Cu Chulainn, hello," Gudako cheered loudly with a large wave.

"Ah, lass, it seemed you summoned me, I quite proud, though I had little doubt," Cu said marching over the red-head and patting her on the head.

Ritsuka smiled seeing his sister reunite with her hero, but sooner noticed Ari and Ghost staring at one of the newly summoned servants. The servant wore a brown leather outfit and cloak, with a blue robotic face and eyes.

"Cayde," her voice almost whimpered, her hands shook as she walked toward the figure she called Cayde.

"Is that really him?" Ghost asked in disbelief, following Ari toward him. He seemingly picked up the bowl of ramen on the floor and was eating.

Cayde turned his head to see the Warlock walking toward him. "Hello Guardian," he greeted, with his most lighting up a vibrant orange. Ari didn't respond she just hugged him. Cayde responded with one of his one, or at least one similar to a hug since he was still holding the bowl of spice ramen.

"It's fantastic to see you again," Ari stated to the hunt who returned with a happy face. "I haven't seen you si-since..."

"It's fine, Guardian, though you must tell me what chaos you have been up to while I was gone," Cayde told Ari who let go of the Hunter Vanguard.

Ari laughed at Cayde's remark. Next to Cayde was a man in red, with a face Ari recognized. She -for a mere moment- thought he was one of her Fireteam members E. Cause also recognized the man, though the face was much more serious than what he remembered of the Hunter.

He looked at the red-head and stared at her for a second. "Are you my master," he asked the young girl.

Gudako turned her head and nodded with a massive smile on her face. "Yes, what's your name?" she asked the Servant.

"Just call me by my class, Archer," the man requested, which both Ritsuka and Gudako found rather odd. Cayde chuckled to himself.

"That's like calling your Ghost, Ghost," he giggled slightly, earning a small glare from said Ghost. "Anyway, I am Cayde-16, Hunter Vanguard, and Archer as well," he greeted putting his hand out to shake Gudako's, who kindly accepted.

The redhead noticed someone in the corner. They had a slimmer more feminine appearance, with bronze coloring on their outfit, alongside a black cloak and a piercing red eye in the center of their helmet.

"Hello," she greeted them, the figure looked into space leaving a long pause of silence. "Who are you?" she asked and was only met by silence. "Hello?" she called out again.

The figure shook its head as if it were in a trance. "Sorry, I was lost in thought. Hello, are you my master?" She asked the redhead.

"I am, my name is Gudako, what is yours," she asked her with a more curious expression.

"I am Pahanin, Assassin class," she said softly. The two other guardians recognize that name; Pahanin, the hunter who went into the Vault of Glass to investigate it, and managed to escape somehow... they were forgetting something.


Gudako decided that she would be the one showing the new Servants around Chaldea with the help of Roman to keep her on track. They walked down the rather similar-looking hallways. Along the way, Cu Chulainn and Archer began to send insults at each other.

"I'm starting to miss the Taken version of you, Actually Satan," Cu said with a slight chuckle of amusement. The nickname made Cayde giggle slightly to himself.

"That's not my name, hound" Archer responded with a slight growl in his voice. "Where did you even get that from?"

"Don't blame me, our master happens to have a wild thought process," Cu quickly shot back, causing the Archer to glare at Gudako.

"Hey, I told you that as a joke, that doesn't mean you use it yourself," Gudako scolded Cu. She did tell him during the tour of the Servant-Master mind link thing. She honestly didn't know how it worked or what it was properly called.

Soon they entered a rather large room, with tables throughout. There was a counter toward the front with a single man behind it. "Anyway, this our Cafeteria," Roman quickly interjected.

Archer hummed to himself, with Cayde's eyes starting to wander throughout the room. "Do you know where the guardian is?" he asked Gudako in an interested tone.

"Oh, Ari, she is most likely in her room, after her reaction to seeing you I think she would love to see you again," the young girl chirped happily. "She was in the second room on the left, just after the summoning chamber."

Cayde gave a light-hearted two-finger salute. "Well, she has quite the journey I missed, plus I would like to her about what she did after I died... the first time," Cayde clarified before running off. Gudako turned to ask him what he met but he was already gone.

Archer walked over to the kitchen counter with a rather intrigued look. "It seems your kitchen is rather short-staffed, I could help them out while we wait," he suggested.

Roman pondered for a moment, "That would be very helpful." Roman started which was all the allowance Archer needed before he vaulted over the counter and began to speak to the chief.

That left Pahanin, Gudako, and Roman. The young girl turned to the bronze hunter with a raised eyebrow. "Would you like to continue our tour," Gudako asked her.

Pahanin nodded in confirmation. "Yeah, I don't like being alone," she admitted to them. Gudako walked towards her and patted her back and the three kept walking.
