God Advent/ Divine Spirit - Αθήνα
"AAAHHHHH!" Odysseus leaps in the air, his arm jets over to Athena, but she blocks the strike with her Shield, Aegis. "So this is Aegis in the hands of Athena," He smirks under his helmet and leaps back.
Athena thrust her Spear, only for the Rider to dodge it. "Heh," she smirks, using her God-like speed, and appeared before the Servant infused with Hades. "HA!"
The Goddess of Wisdom thrust Palladion at the Servant of Chaldea.
"Ohhh, Aegis!" The black-armored man crossed his arms, creating a holo-shield to protect himself from his Goddess.
Athena steps back, seeing the defenses that she recognizes even if it's in a different form. "Aegis, that is the Shield I gifted to my Odysseus before I reclaim it after his passing." She chuckles at another of the Shield gifted by her father presence in their battle.
Odysseus slides back after taking in the strike from the Goddess of Wisdom. "Indeed, however, this version is from my version of Athena infused with the Klironomia of Hades, the God of the Underworld!" He announces,
The Rider jumps up in the air, turrets appeared from his wrist, and release a barrage of bullets at Athena.
"Ngh!" Athena raised her Aegis and blocked the attack, she then thrust her Palladion at Odysseus, however, he caught it and held it firmly with God-like strength.
"Intriguing," Athena could sense her Uncle's Klironomia within the Hero of Troy. "You somehow acquired the Large Scale Organic/Inorganic Disposable Type Mobile Fortress. The one who disposes of all trash and scraps of Atlantis during our reign as Machines."
Odysseus nodded, "Indeed, I have been granted a partial amount of authority by the God of the Underworld." He closes his eyes, placing his fist on his chest. "With this power, I've been granted, I'll use it to protect the ideals that my master has." He proclaims his loyalties to the Goddess.
Odysseus rushed at Athena, punching her shield before converting his back armor into cannons. Rays of light hurl right at the Goddess.
The brown-haired Goddess raised Aegis, deflecting the attack the best she can. Athena could feel Hades's power within his attack. 'Definitely, Hades's Authority supporting Odysseus's attack.' She thought, seeing the Hero's cannons retracted in his armor.
Athena was curious about what ideals this Ritsuka Fujimaru has. "Interesting, tell my Odysseus of the other World. What are the ideals that your master you speak of." She asked the Rider Servant. "It might help me understand better you all better."
"Very well, my master's ideals-no all of Chaldea's ideals are simple," Odysseus stated, "To ensure that Humanity will have a future and protect it from those who wish for its destruction." The black-armored man told the Goddess of Wisdom.
"Protection of Humanity's future," Athena has to admit, with the power their opponents are showing their task seems plausible. However, Ritsuka Fujimaru is still a mystery to this equation if they have the power to do so why did they choose him as their master.
Athena smiles, seeing the devotion to this Human that Odysseus was showing. "Your loyalties to Ritsuka Fujimaru are admirable, however, I would like to see what your master can do than ordering you around." The Goddess of Wisdom stated,
Odysseus chuckles, looking at his Goddess. "That you need to wait, Lady Athena. Until then, you're facing me." Using his jets, the Rider hurls at the Goddess once again.
Athena remained vigilant, raising her Aegis to defend against the Greek Hero.
The Servant clashed with the shield causing a bright explosion in the hall.

God Advent/ Divine Spirit - Ζεύς
"▂▂▃▃▅▅ーーー!" Heracles dodge bolts of lightning sent by his father. He lunges forward and swung his ax-sword at the King of the Gods.
Zeus dodged the attack, scarping only his tie ripped by its jagged blade. Angered by this, Zeus powered his fist with electricity and sucker-punched the hulking figure.
Heracles saw this and used the back of his ax-sword to block the attack. The Berserker was thrown back, sliding on the marble floors of the hall.
"▂▂▃▃▅▅!" The Berserker roared at his father, and the room rumbles upon his voice.
Zeus growls at his son defying him. "Heracles, the greatest amongst the Greek Heroes of old. The Hero who ascended to God-Hood," His blue eyes spark with rage of his betrayal. "You dare to come back after you disappeared from your island and defy your creator! You insolence child!" The skies thunder with both the Servants fighting down in the city and the ones in the Hall of Gods.
Heracles grins, causing the God to get angrier with the cocky expression he made. "Damn you Heracles!" Zeus tosses another bolt of lightning at his son.
Heracles growls, activating his evasion skill, and dashed forward at his father. "▂▂▃▃▅▅!" The Demi-God roars, slamming his ax-sword on the floor causing the ground to spike up.
The spikes hurl over the God of the Skies, bursting right under his feet. "GAH!" Zeus leaps back, evading the spikes.
The God jumps down to the floor, glaring at the Hero he fathered. He growls, electricity sparks over his fist. "I'll kill you myself, Heracles!" He rushed forward, pulling back his arms and propelling his fist at the Berserker with great speed.
"It matters not that you are my son, once you oppose us the Gods then you are our enemy!" Zeus tried to punch Heracles, but he dropped his ax-sword to the ground.
Heracles leans back, his father's fist was inches away from his body. He implemented his hand on the Hall's floor and did a roundhouse kick on his father to his face.
"GAH!" Zeus was kicked to his throne, crashing into it and breaking into pieces.
The Berserker planted his feet on the ground, walking over to his father as he picked his ax-sword up. Heracles growls, seeing dust clouds over the center throne.
"!?" Heracles tried quickly to deflect the sudden strike but wasn't quick enough. "▂▂▃▃▅▅!" The bolt shot through Heracles's body, making a hole in his chest.
Heracles fell to his knees, his eyes shut down as his weapon dropped. "This is why you don't stand up to Gods, even the Demi-Gods of Camp Half-blood are aware of this." Zeus got up, dusting off the dust and dirt from his suit. He paused, hearing gunshot echoes in the Hall.
Turning to Poseidon he saw the Ocean God clutching his shoulders as Drake and Poseidon held him down.
Athena and Hades were still battling and talking to each other. Something's off, usually, by now enemies would cry for their allies' death but he did not hear one word of the Greatest Greek Hero's death.
The Gods smiles, seeing the most threatening foe has fallen. "Well done Husband, you have defeated Heracles." Hera cheered, she looks over to the rest of the Chaldeans still retaining their stoic expression. She tried to read their minds, but something was disrupting her telepathic powers.
"Heracles has fallen, master," Pollux informed her master, still connecting to the God-made Leylines. "Should we intervene now?" The half of Gemini asked.
"Stick to the plan, Pollux," Aphrodite told her Sister, her disc spinning behind her and protecting their master from mental attacks. "Master has a few more minutes left."
Zeus walks over to the sizzling corpse of his son, "Heracles, you are a great Hero. But you're not a match for-" Suddenly a hand grabs onto Zeus's tie.
"What!?" Zeus was shocked, no flabbergasted by who was grabbing his tie.
Heracles, the Berserker that every Olympian God thought died was alive. "H-How is that possible!? No one can-wait his wounds!" Demeter covered her mouth, seeing the hulking figure hole in his chest steaming and closing up.
"▂▂▃▃▅▅!" Heracles roars in Zeus's face, flipping over him and tossing him back to the rubble. He then grabs his ax-sword and walks over to the God of Lightning. (End Song)
The battle stops, however, the battle outside the Hall of Gods continues. "Husband's…been defeated?" Hera trails off, seeing Zeus in the rubble of his throne.
Hera growls at the Hero who had him kill both his wife and child. She raised her hands, about to alter his mind to betray his master. However, that was prevented when Assassin Aphrodite used her mind hacks to prevent them from doing anything.
Aphrodite, Hera, and Demeter groan clutching their heads from the strange pain in their minds. "T-This is stronger than…AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!" The silver-haired deity screamed, her own mental shields were being torn apart.
"T-This is…this was my Authority!" Aphrodite clutches her head, not even her mental shield can't protect her own power. "I-I…my shields…t-they ca…ngh!" She fell to her knees, now feeling what her victims felt during those days when they landed here.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Aphrodite screams, her head felt her being ripped apart.
Demeter fell too, unable to move. "P-Persephone…w-why are-no it can't be winter yet. No, Persephone…Persephone!" She cried, reliving the winter months in her mind.
Aphrodite grins, her discs spinning and sending mental attacks to the remaining Goddess. "You got to be kidding me? Even myself here is weak against my attack!?" The Machine God laughs, seeing their weak and feeble state. "Are the Olympian Gods really this weak in this World!?"
"Keep it up, Lady Aphrodite. We must not let those other Gods get involved." Pollux stated, seeing their master almost finish with preparations.
Zeus groans, getting to his feet. "H-How? How did you come back alive?" The God asked the son he had banished long ago.
Heracles continues to walk forward, however, he saw Zeus's grin. "FALL HERACLES!" Zeus sent a bolt of lightning at him, hoping this strike can kill him.
The Berserker leans to the side, lightning scraping his chest as it struck the ceiling. He gasps, seeing the boulders falling on his master. "▂▂▃▃▅▅!" Heracles roars, warning the Twin Divine Spirits.
The Dioscuri looks above their master, seeing the falling boulders. Castor looks down at his master, moments away from completing preparations for the Summoning. "Pollux, let's go," Castor called for his sister's name.
Pollux nodded, "Hai, Lord Brother." The blonde Servants jumps up along with her brother.
"SEI!" Both Castor and Pollux materialized their weapons and slashed through the falling boulders,
Castor's discus spun rapidly as he toss it and ricochet off the falling debris. The boulders broke into millions of smaller rocks that allowed Pollux to slash through them turning into little rocks that are harmless to a Magus.
Both the Lostbelt Servants landed next to their master, "You're not done yet, master!?" Castor scolded the black-haired Magus.
"Lord Brother, the God-made Leylines are for the Gods to use." Pollux defended their master taking his time preparing to establish a proper connection with him and the Leylines. "A Human Magus aren't supposed to use them, but master is the expectation."
Castor huffs, seeing that the threats are neutralized for the time being. However, Zeus was getting up despite being thrown around by Heracles, "Done! Castor, Pollux, Aphrodite, stand by me."
"Mmm? M-Master, where you going?" Aphrodite asked the Human who defeated the Gods. She groans, seeing him rushing past her.
Pollux followed closely to their master, "Lord Brother, Lady Aphrodite, stay close to master. You know how reckless he is." The blonde woman stated.
"Pollux, wait!" Castor grumbles, following his sister's lead.
"Tch, I'm still sending Spiritron mental attacks to the other Gods." Aphrodite groans, not being to catch up due to her still attacking. She groans, following her siblings and master to the center.
Zeus stood up from where his former throne was. "Heracles, you foolish boy. You're brute ways shall be punished." Heracles grins, jumping back from where the entrance was. "What are you-"
"Zeus!" The God of Lightning looks at the voice who called his name.
There stood Ritsuka Fujimaru, the Human who brought this chaos holding his hand with strange markings. "Human, you dare show yourself after sending your version of the Olympians to kill us?" Zeus growls, standing from the ground. "How foolish of you to for do so, now you are wide open for me to eliminate you." He stated.
"Is that so, Zeus?" Ritsuka took out the Summon Ticket that he infused with the God-made Leylines of this Olympus. "I'm going to show you how the Gods favor me in my World."
He held out his hand, throwing the God-Leyline Summon Ticket he made at the center. The Ticket planted itself in the center of the Hall of Gods.
"Let silver and steel be the essence.
Let stone and the archduke of contracts be the foundation.
Let Humanity's wishes crystallized.
A Summoning circle began to glow blue, the God-Leyline Summon Ticket started to glow a blue hue.
Let the wishes of those who cannot be heard to be heard.
Let me be your anchor on this plane to serve those who cannot.
Let the three-forked road from the crown reaching unto the Throne.
The Command Seals glowed brightly; the Summon Ticket begin to spark golden lightning and began to liquify. The liquid began to merge, creating one body.
The Gods of Olympus covered their eyes by the blinding light. "W-What is-Lightning!? You dare to-no, this isn't normal lightning…" Zeus ponders, peering above his arms.
"This presence…" Athena clings to her Palladion looking at Ritsuka Fujimaru doing something interesting. She senses a familiar presence someone in the Hall.
From your collapse shall be our beginnings to a new path to the future.
For I embodied that is all good in the world and you shall be the defender.
The mass took form as the rings merged with the Heroes that Ritsuka summoned.
Come forth in the line of Duty! Guardian of the Scales!"
A bright golden light shines in every corner of the Hall of the Gods.
"W-What the-" Artemis covered her eyes, seeing the bright light.
"What's happening?" Apollo closes his eyes, unsure what's going on.
Zeus felt the Leylines in were tapped in, he growls at the thought of a Human using their Leylines for something for their uses. "Damn you Chaldeans! You dare touch a Divine Leyline without permission!?" He held his Lightning bolt and throws it at where he thought Ritsuka was. "Your punishment is death!"
The bolt of Lightning soars through the air, sparking through the air. However, a voice erupted from the cloud of smoke.
"Continental-class shredding mechanism activated…range minimal. "
"Divine Core connected, Divine Core excited! My scream, my lament…! Aah…!" A familiar voice announces something they never heard for millennia.
"T-That's my…" Demeter groans, hearing her voice from the cloud of smoke. Aphrodite ceased her attacks due to her Aunt activating her Noble Phantasm.
"Scream Eleusis!"
A loud shriek blasted through the smoke, revealing a blonde-haired woman with violet eyes in a green dress with wheat patterns over it. In her hand was a giant sickle glowing a green hue, behind her was a disc swirling and emanating a massive scream.
"M-My Terminal! M-My Noble Phantasm!?" Demeter cried, clutching now her ears.
The bolt of Lightning was being distorted due to the massive sound wave before dissipating. Soon all of the Gods collapses, kneeling at Ritsuka, covering his ears.
"W-WE SURRENDER! STOP USING SCREAM ELEUSIS!" Zeus roared, clutching his ears, trying to block his Sister's Scream.
The new Servant ceased her attack, her disc stopped swirling and disappear. "Lord Zeus, my younger brother, and our Flagship." The blonde woman walks over to the God of Lightning kneeling on the floor.
Zeus growls, looking at the Goddess he knows very well. "D-Demeter's Terminal…h-how did you-" The King of the Gods looks up at the Servant.
"Indeed, Class name Caster. I am the Interstellar Travel Resource Manufacturing Ship, designation Demeter." The blonde Caster introduced herself to the Olympians who are still conscious. She looks down at Zeus, tired from the battle and her Noble Phantasm.
"Zeus, my younger brother. I will not let you have your way and kill my Grandson." Demeter stated, her eyes cold as ice.
Zeus growls, looking up at his sister from another World standing above them. "You…Demeter, what did you say?" He looks at her, curious why he claims the Human who invaded Olympus her own.
The other Demeter got up, hearing what her Terminal said. "W-Wait, Grandson? T-That Human is not a God nor Demi-God." The Goddess of the Harvest stated, looking at a rather pale Ritsuka. "Why did you call him our Grandson, Terminal?"
The blonde-haired Goddess looks over to Ritsuka, smiling at him.
Ritsuka's mind played a memory of his Grandmother from the first Anomaly he met. "Y-Your face-"
Demeter nodded, "Indeed, my dear Ritsuka. I am Demeter, the most compatible body was your Grandmother from another World." The Goddess of the Harvest explains to the Magus behind her, she places her finger on her cheek.
"I-I see…" Ritsuka starts to sway back and forth.
"Master?" Pollux looks at her master, seeing him swaying. She quickly rushed to grab onto him. "MASTER!?"
Castor and Aphrodite look at their master feinted in the blonde Servant's arms. "What happened Sister? What happened to master?" Castor asked his twin Sister.
Aphrodite looks down at her master's face, "Mmmm, he's kinda pale and looks to be sweating…"
Demeter walks over to her Grandson, placing her hand over his head. "He seems to be exhausted, probably from exceeding his Magic Circuits and the God-made Leylines to call upon me here." The Goddess pushes away the strands of hair from Ritsuka's face. "Ah, he's so peaceful when he's sleeping. Almost like he's Persephone herself has to reincarnate into him." She smiles.
"Tch, figures, master is always pushing himself to his limits," Castor growls, turning to the Olympians, slowly getting up to their feet after the battle stopped. "Oi, Father and the rest of you. What say you, are you going to continue to fight us?" Castor asked the Gods.
Zeus looks around the Hall, Poseidon clutching his shoulder while his Terminal and Drake stood above him, Athena gasping as Odysseus stood before her, Artemis and Apollo exhausted from Demeter's Noble Phantasm.
Demeter, Aphrodite, and Hera got to their feet, their ears still ringing and heads pounding. The God then looks at Heracles, ready to attack at any wrong move.
Storm Border, Olympus's outskirts, June 10, 2007
"How irritable, I expected him to be at death's door but here's master exhausted both physically and Magically." A voice grumbles next to Ritsuka, "Tch, now that Nightingale is gone, I have to pick up the slack with master's recovery and other responsibilities she left abruptly."
"Ah, Dr. Asclepius don't worry about those responsibilities that Medical Head Nightingale left behind." A female and yet familiar voice said to the temporary Medical Head of the Border. "I will handle the Medical responsibilities of the Storm Border; you can focus on master's health when we're in Olympus."
"Here's his medical chart, Dr. Asclepius." A young boy's voice said to the God of Medicine.
"Thank you, Medical Assistant Longbottom." Asclepius took the chart, scanning it quickly. "This is probably the hundredth time he exhausted his Magic Circuits. Attempting to connect his Circuits to the God-made Leylines, he should be dead." He stated, sighing at his reckless master's actions.
"At least Fate favors him to protect and save Humanity." Nemo Nurse stated, "It'll be wrong to take the only champion away where the fate of Humanity is at risk."
"Nemo Nurse does have a point, Doctor," Neville commented on the statement.
Ritsuka groans, trying to open his eyes. "W-Will you please…keep it down?"
"Ah, he's coming to, Doctor." Nemo Nurse informed the Temporary Medical Head.
Ritsuka was greeted by a bright light, blinding him momentarily as it shifted from one eye to the other. "Master, take it easy. Don't push yourself hard, you know how much I hate dealing with difficult patients." Asclepius stated, helping Ritsuka up.
The Magus opens his Saphire eyes, greeted by a Nurse with bronze hair dyed in blue and wearing a nurse's outfit. A teen in a doctor's coat and a Chaldean Staff uniform underneath, finally a hooded man, grey hair draped down in a black cloak, sleeves extended past his arms and a mask over his face stood beside him. Beside him was a staff being wrapped around by a mechanical snake.
"Neville, Nemo, Asclepius. What happened?" Ritsuka asked the current Medical Staff present.
Asclepius groans, glaring at his master. "You did it again, master. Overloading your Magic Circuits to make a Summon Ticket infused with the God-made Leylines to Summon Lady Demeter." He informed his master what he did. "You are an Anomaly yourself,"
Ritsuka chuckles, taking that as a compliment from the Caster. "Thanks, Asclepius,"
"I don't think that was a compliment, Ritsuka." Neville sighs before going into his Medical report. "Anyways, from the tests, we perform on you, director. You need a few days of rest before you Summon again." He informed the master of Chaldea.
"I see, I do feel a bit better but still exhausted," Ritsuka admits to the Medical Staff.
Nemo Nurse nodded, "Yes, we do recommend that you don't do that stunt again master without proper support." The Nurse stated, not wanting him to do that again.
Ritsuka nods, knowing he'll be scolded by Nightingale later when the Fate System is repaired. Speaking of Nightingale, "How many Servants are here?"
"Um, Ritsuka, that I know is still here is the Technology Development Head, the Capitan, and Greek Servants are here," Neville explains to the director of Chaldea. "The rest are still in their Saint Graph,"
Ritsuka nodded, feeling that was the case.
The door opened suddenly, and little patter of feet came through. "Daddy!" Ritsuka smiles, hearing his son running over to him and latched on his bedside.
"Hey, buddy you missed me?" Ritsuka smiles, watching his son look up at him.
"Yeah!" Romani bounced on his father's bedside in a giggling fit.
Mashu enters the Medical Bey with Fou sitting on her shoulder. "Ritsuka, you're awake." She smiles, relieved that her Husband is safe. "You've given me a scare there,"
"Fou, Fou!" They walk over to Ritsuka, pulling a chair over to his bedside.
Ritsuka smiles at his family he made being here with him. "We'll leave you be," Neville said, walking to the exit.
"Yes, make sure you take it, easy master," Asclepius stated, frowning under his mask at this turnout. "If you disobey my orders, you're not the only one facing retribution from Nightingale." He walks out, leaving the family to spend some time together.
Nemo Nurse held onto her tablet, inclining her head to him. "Master Fujimaru, once you are fully rested, Vice-Commander Goldolf, master, Da Vincis, and Archimedes are waiting for you in the Command Center for debriefing." The small Nurse informed the director before going to her little cubicle in the corner of the Medical Bey.
"Alright, thank you." Ritsuka picks up Romani, eagerly wanting to sit next to him. "Mashu, what happened to the Olympians? The last thing I remember was Summoning Demeter and-"
Mashu smiles, placing her hand on his. Romani smiles placing his two little hands on theirs. "Demeter and the rest of the Servants who went into Olympians manage to talk things out." She informed her Husband of what happened when he blocked out.
Fou nodded, "Fou, Fou," The Beast jumps down from Mashu's shoulder and climbed on Romai causing him to giggle.
"Things are relatively peaceful for the time being," Mashu explains to the black-haired Magus. "After showing Zeus what you can do, he reluctantly announced a ceasefire on attacking the Storm Border, but it won't last for long." She sighs, seeing this Zeus is unreasonable.
Ritsuka looked at his Wife, feeling there was something else. "What? What else did he say?" He asked the former Demi-Servant.
"Brother said, unless you appear in the Hall of Gods within twenty-four hours, he will eliminate this vessel off Olympus's grounds." A kind voice informed the master of Humanity.
The doors open revealing Demeter coming into the Medical Bey. The Goddess smiles upon seeing her master awake and well. "Demeter, it's nice to see you."
"As you, my dear Persephone." Demeter smiles at the master.
"Demeter-san, why did you call Ritsuka your daughter's name?" Mashu asked the Machine God about her term. "Are you-"
Demeter smiles, "Oh no, my Divine Core is still…altered due to my Lostbelt self being Summoned too. But Demeter from Proper Human History also counters my madness." The Goddess of the Harvest explains.
Ritsuka nodded, "So it's like you have the Madness Enhancement due to your Lostbelt self but being suppressed by the Demeter from my History." He said, understanding what she said so far.
"Indeed my Grandson, I cannot control what I say but I do hope you understand what I mean." Demeter hoped, smiling at her Grandson.
Romani giggles, looking at the Goddess. "Gamma!" He smiles at the Caster.
The Blonde Caster squeals, seeing Romani greeting her. "Oh, look how adorable you are little Persephone." Demeter sighs, feeling this is right being her. "My, just think he would be going to preschool, then elementary school, then middle school, then h-high school, and c-c-college…" She tears up, wiping away her tears at the thought of Romani growing through the years.
Romani giggles at his Great Grandmother tearing up by his future he doesn't fully understand.
Fou tilts his head, confused at what the little boy said. "Fou?"
Ritsuka and Mashu looked at each other before looking at Demeter cooing over Romani. "Um, Demeter-san what do you mean by Grandson? Charlie is Ritsuka's Grandfather and he's not here due to Zeus's attack." Mashu asked. "Are perhaps Euphemia Potter too?"
"Mmm? Euphemia…that sounds familiar to my host body but no." Demeter place her hand over her chest and smiled at her Grandchildren. "I am Demeter, a Servant of the Caster class. My host body is Mary Evans from a World without Mages and only Wizards. Since Mary is your Grandmother my dear Ritsuka from your mother's side, I now consider you as my Grandson."
Demeter places her hands on her cheeks, sighing in sadness. "Ah, only if my dear Persephone could see her new Nephew brave and strong." She smiles at Ritsuka, opening her arms. "But now I have new Persphones that are related to me (in a way)." She announces, showing her broken side.
Ritsuka sighs, having another…unique Servant in his roster. "Here we go again…"
"Oh, Ritsuka." Mashu giggles,
"Fou,"
