Ch 51 The Beginning of the End Pt 2

Ladybug and her Servant rushed across the Buildings of Patricius. The People who were living in the Buildings abandoned their Homes due to Sefar's awakening.

Chunks of the Moon Cell were scattered everywhere, bits a pieces broke through the Buildings. People who remained ran from the Titian, not because of how large she was.

No, what Ladybug saw was something much worse. With each step Sefar makes, the surrounding areas are being digitized, assimilating into her Body as she grows. This includes the Parisians who can't escape.

She looks around, seeing digital dust grow more as she grows.

"Everything is being absorbed into her," Ladybug said as Octavius joined up with her.

Octavius nodded, assuming that much from the one who fell from the Stars. "From what information I got so far, Sefar is capable of destroying Landmasses." The Saber explains to his master. "I can only guess that each moment absorbing the Lostbelt, she'll be big enough to destroy a Country and after that, the Landmass before returning to the Sea of Stars."

The bluenette's eyes widen, turning to her Servant. "So that means when she finishes absorbing the Lostbelt and walks through that Rift; then she'll be already absorbing the City," Ladybug said, taking what Octavius said and piecing it together.

The Roman Emperor shook his head. "Not on our watch, forgive me master but I have to carry you if we want to get much time to prepare." Octavius apologizes to the Hero of Creation, taking her into a Princess hold.

At the moment, Ladybug could care less about the gesture. There were more important things to worry about than that.

With a single leap, Octavius manages to skip an entire block before another leap, heading to the Rift in time.

Down on the streets, Ritsuka, Charlie, Chat Noir, BB, and Suzaku ran to the side trying to get to the first checkpoint.

Chat looks at Sefar, her gaze ignores them since her focus is on the Rift. "All right, is it me or Sefar is growing?" The Hero of Destruction asked,

"Sefar is capable of taking Data and assimilating it into her. Right now she's gathering the Magical Energy in the Lostbelt to be large enough to absorb Present Day Paris." Ritsuka explains, gaining the information from their Research.

"We better pick up the pace and get to the first Front and slow her down," BB exclaims, ready to pick up her master and super leap over.

Charlie looks at Suzaku, flying over them. "Caster, how long until we get to the first Front?" The Saber asked the Grand Servant,

"I devote this strike to my brother and his wife,"

"A weapon once wielded by Vishnu and his Avatars," Lakshmana stood on a Building, raising his Bow at the White Titian as an Arrow of light formed, imbued with Divine power.

"Vanquish my Enemy!" The Archer released his Arrow,

"GO! Sharanga!" A golden Arrow hurls towards the Threat to Humanity.

The golden Arrow hurls forward, exploding upon contact with Sefar.

Sefar cries out, stepping back from the sudden Noble Phantasm attacking her.

"That's Lakshmana's Noble Phantasm!" Ritsuka exclaims, recognizing the Arrow from anywhere.

Chat Noir smiles, knowing what that means. "We're at the first Front!" The blonde Hero exclaims.


First Front

Soon more Arrows of light rain down onto Sefar, causing her to cry. The Arrows came from both Lakshmana and Sita, halting Sefar's advance. "Good job you two, we got her where we wanted," Rama said, watching his Family hold off the White Titian.

"Brother, our Attack isn't scratching Sefar." The red-haired Archer said to his Brother. "I don't think even my Noble Phantasm laid a dent into her."

Rama looks at his Brother, hearing what he said. "Our job isn't to destroy Sefar, but to buy time for Ladybug to head back to the Present." The Saber reminded his Brother.

"Easy said than done, dear Brother." Lakshmana sighs, pulling back his string. "Well, I saved up a lot of Magical Energy so far, why not use it now!" He released more Arrows, powering them up with more Energy.

"At least we got her on a standstill. She can't budge a muscle when Arrows are raining down on her." Sita said, seeing the bright side of things. She then saw a few figures heading down from the Buildings. "Master! Everyone, you're safe!"

Both Lakshmana and Rama turn their attention to their master coming up to them. "Glad you can join the Front master." Rama greeted him with a smile.

"A barrage of Arrows, huh." Chat smirks, seeing and hearing Sefar defending herself from the Arrows. "Nobody can possibly do anything when Arrows are falling on them."

Lakshmana chuckles, continually releasing Arrows. "We've been expecting you all, but as you can see. We got her where we want her." The Archer explains to him.

Charlie looks at the Servants of the First Front. "How long can you keep this up?" The King of the Franks asked his fellow Servants.

"Not sure, we're pouring our Magical Energy into keeping Sefar just where she is," Sita explains to the Saber,

"At least she's stuck-"

-ZZZ- Director, we detect a massive surge of Magical Energy right before you! -ZZZ- Ginny informed the master of Chaldea of what they detected.

Ritsuka and the others heard what Ginny said, they looked at Sefar still being bombarded by the Arrows both Archers were still firing.

All of a sudden, Sefar held her ground against the barrage of Arrows. Her arms suddenly glowed, ready to Attack her Attackers. "Everyone! Get down!" Rama exclaims, raising his Sword.

Rama pushes back both his master and Chat Noir, looking at Sefar releasing a beam of light from her arms. "Rama! What are you-"

"Behold the immortal blade that vanquished the Rakshasa King!" The King of Kosala raised his Sword, it glowed brightly as it began to spin around.

The Beam broke through the barrage of Arrows, hurling straight for the Chaldean master.

"Feast upon my enemy!" Rama glared at the incoming Beam,

"Lord Rama! Don't-" Sita exclaims, knowing that Attack will cost using his Noble Phantasm to block an Attack such as this.

"Brahmastra!" Rama released his Noble Phantasm at the Beam from Sefar,

Both Attacks hurl straight for each other, Rama's Noble Phantasm was able to hold Sefar's Attack for a good while, however it broke through.

"Brahmastra was deflected!?" Rama exclaims, seeing the beam heading straight for them. He turns to his master, pushing him to the side. "MASTER!"

Just when Rama was about to shove both Ritsuka and Chat Noir to the ground, Sita steps in. She held out her Bow and looked at the incoming Beam.

"These are my happiest memories," Sita said, dismissing her Bow as the golden dust travels above them.

"Rama's bravery remains in my heart to this Day," The golden dust soon forms into a large Bow, and the string materializes before Sita.

Rama looks up at the golden Bow, recognizing it as his very own Bow. "That's…" He looks at who he presumes to be his Sister-in-Law, and then he remembers how Sita used his Bow in his Past. "Sita…you're-"

"Lord Rama! I'm sorry that we didn't have the time to be reacquainted this time." Sita turns around, smiling at her Husband. "Maybe next time, we can be Summoned together…" She said as her Body began to turn to Golden dust.

Chat Noir saw the same effect whenever a Servant died. "Woah, woah, what's happening to Archer?" The Hero of Destruction asked everyone.

Ritsuka wince explaining things to the blonde Hero. "Sita and Rama's Story is that they were cursed for all of eternity to never see each other again." He explains the gist of the two's Story. "Only when both return to the Heavens that they can be reunited…"

"So that means…." Chat looks at Sita as Rama watches his Wife sacrificing herself.

"Go, Haradhanu Janaka."

Sita released the string, sending a Golden Arrow to counter the white Beam. The two Attacks collided, causing them to explode.

"Go! Sharanga!"


Taking no chance, Lakshmana released his Noble Phantasm once more to ensure that Sefar was pinned down at least. A loud explosion echoes, indicating his Noble Phantasm has made contact with the White Titian.

The White Titian was stunned for a few minutes after taking on a Noble Phantasm. She cried as she tried her hardest to move after being stunned.

Sita drops to the ground as her Body begins to disappear, "Sita!" Rama ran up to his Wife, holding her tight. The Saber looks down at his Wife, holding her close. "Sita, why didn't you tell me who you are in the first place?" He asked her.

The red-haired Archer looks at her Husband, reaching out to him. "You know very well, Lord Rama. Our Curse forbids us from ever meeting." Sita said, smiling at him. "I always had a feeling you would show up here, in this Lostbelt. It's fated that I'll disappear once you see me."

"However my duty as a Proper Human History Servant comes first…that's why, before Hanuman was defeated by the Inquisitors," Sita explains how she was able to be Materialized in this Anomaly. "He adjusted the Curse on me so that I can be of assistance to Chaldea and master."

"Hanuman was here…" Rama said, seeing her Legs already disappearing. "I think I understand the adjustment now."

Chat looks at Ritsuka, wondering what the King of Kosala means. "Ritsuka, can you explain what's happening?" The Hero of Destruction asked the Magus.

Ritsuka wasn't sure, however Lakshmana could answer that. "Lakshmana?" He asked the Archer Servant.

"Right before you and the others arrived at this Lostbelt, Hanuman was one of the many Servants Summoned to the Lostbelt," Lakshmana said, explaining things to them. "Since he is a higher Divine Spirit, he could adjust the Curse within Sita. Which led to the Name she used for her Sister." The red-haired Archer explains to the masters.

"The adjustment is that if my Brother doesn't recognize Sita, then she can stay Materialized," Lakshmana said, looking at his master and Ally.

"I see now," Charlie had a solemn expression, feeling sorry for the two. As for BB, she could care less about this, however, she also pitied them.

Chat Noir looks at Sita and Rama, "Now that Rama noticed Sita…the Curse…"

"Has been activated…" Ritsuka said watching as Sita disappeared.

Sita smiles at her Husband being close before frowning at the loud moving noise. BB and Charlie look up at the dust cloud, "Shit, Sefar has recovered that Noble Phantasm!" BB informed the group.

"Lakshmana can you use it one-"

Lakshmana steps forward, readying his Bow. "This is probably my last time using my Noble Phantasm one last time." The Archer stated, telling them that he was at his limit.

Chat Noir looks at the Indian Hero, he then notices that his feet are glowing. "You're disappearing too, Lakshmana?" The blonde Hero asked the Servant. "But we still need you to defeat Sefar!" He reasons with him.

Ritsuka saw Chat Noir was

"Lord Rama, Sefar…" The disappearing Archer looks up at the clearing dust,

The White Titian began to gain some movement, about to attack. Rama nodded, standing up. "Yes, I'm fully aware." The King looks at his master, speaking his mind.

"Master, you all go on ahead. We'll keep Sefar here so you can meet up with the Second Front." Rama said, rematerializing his Brahmastra.

Ritsuka looks at his Saber Servant, knowing what this means. "Are you sure, Rama, Sita, Lakshmana?" He asked the Family of Heroes of India.

Lakshmana smiles, "With my limited Magical Energy, I'm going to go all out here." He said, knowing he'd disappear once he used his Noble Phantasm again.

Sita got up, about to return to the Throne of Heroes. "I'll assist by giving you all of my remaining Magical Energy just enough to hold Sefar back." She said, transferring her Magical Energy to her Husband and Brother-in-law.

"I'll meet you back on the Storm Border, master." Rama looks at Ritsuka, giving him a reassuring smile. "Tell me everything once you Resummoned me," The Saber said,


Ritsuka hated this, but he had no choice in the matter. "Alright, good luck, you three." He said,

Charlie prepared himself to depart, "Ritsuka, hold on tight." The Saber said, grabbing his Grandson's arms over him.

The Magus looks at Chat Noir, still unsure about this. "Chat?" Ritsuka called for the young Hero.

Chat Noir wanted everyone to come back with them, however he knows that's impossible. "If you're thinking about everyone coming back to the Present, then you're an idiot." The Moon Cancer said, "The three are willing to go out and give us time to escape."

"I know!" Chat said, looking at the three Servants one last time. "It's been an honor to fight alongside you three." The Hero of Destruction said, following his Chaldean Allies to the Second Front.

The Servants watch as their master and their Ally leave their Front. Soon Sefar broke through her stun, her eyes set on the Heroic Spirits that were trying to stop her.

Sita smiles, already at her limit. "Lord Rama, Lord Lakshmana, good luck. I believe in you two." With that, Sita's Body disappeared and returned to the Throne of Heroes.

Rama reached out, holding his hand out, and touched the golden dust floating away in the air. "Sita…my beloved…my light of my Life." He retracted his hand, holding his fist to his Heart. "I swear, I'll use the power you entrusted to me to defeat Sefar."

"You mean to us, Brother," Lakshmana said, pulling back his Bow once more.

Rama smirks, "Of course, Lakshmana. Now, let's end this!"

Heading down the streets, Ritsuka and everyone else heard a big explosion coming from the First Front. Chat Noir and Ritsuka wince, knowing what exactly the end result is at the First Front.

"Ritsuka, are you really okay with this?" Chat Noir asked the Magus, wanting to know something. "I know that you don't want to sacrifice your Servants, but are you alright with it?" He asked,

Both BB and Charlie look at Ritsuka, knowing his answer. "Of course not," Ritsuka answered, feeling terrible every time a Servant of his sacrificed themselves for him and Humanity. "I feel guilty every time someone does it. But I understand why they do it, and that it's necessary for Humanity."

"I'm sure you sacrifice yourself for Marinette, right Adrien?" BB asked, stepping in to ask him a question. "It's what you Humans do for others right?" The AI asked the Hero.

Chat Noir only nodded, having done so many times to protect Ladybug. "Yeah…I have done that before…" He answered, realizing what they meant.

"Then you understand why, Kid," Charlie said, looking back at him.

"Right," Chat nodded, understanding what the Servants were trying to say. "Sorry, even though I've experienced many losses at this point in my Life, it is still mind-boggling." He said, shaking his head to focus on the current situation.

"It's fine, Chat Noir. I understand you," Ritsuka said, seeing Chat Noir was doing alright with it. Looking at Suzaku who was oddly quiet, flew above them. "Seimei, how's things going on your end?" He asked the Grand Caster behind his Familiar.

Suzaku looks down at the main group, "Sorry, sorry, I was busy making preparations with Taikoubou and Xu Fu, and waiting for Marinette and Octavian to return." The Shikigami informed the group. "Currently, we got Thirty Percent done. We still need more time,"

"Then the next Front needs to hold out longer," Charlie said, understanding what they need to do.

"Alright everyone, let's get there quick!" Ritsuka said, receiving a nod from everyone.

Back at the First Front, Sefar continued with her advance to the rift in Time. Down at the ruins of the Buildings both Rama and Lakshmana were watching Sefar leaving the First Front.

Lakshmana's Body was already turning into Golden dust. "I can't believe using all of our Magical Energy and Sita giving us an extra boost towards our Noble Phantasm." The Archer said, about to disappear too, "Sefar remains moving and unharmed."

"That goes for show, Sefar is truly an Enemy that only a Special Servant or Weapon could defeat her," Rama added as his Body began to turn into Blue dust instead of the normal Golden dust.

"Brother, you're not returning to the Throne of Heroes?" Lakshmana asked the red-haired Saber, wondering why it was that color.

Rama smiles, answering his Brother's question. "Ah, right. I'm a Chaldean Heroic Spirit, I decided to assist Chaldea in protecting Humanity." The Saber explains to his Brother. "In essence, I'm returning to my Saint Graph being held in the Storm Border. Heh, it'll be some until I can Materialize again."

Lakshmana sighs, placing both his hands on his side. "That's good for you, Brother. I sure wish I had something like that." The Archer said, smiling at what he had done so far. "Maybe I'll get Summoned into Chaldea by master."

The King of Kosala chuckles as their Bodies begin to be translucent. "Well, I hope so too, Brother. It'll be nice fighting alongside you, Brother. And possibly Sita too…" Rama looks at Sefar, already approaching the Second Front. "Good luck master…"

The two Servants returned to their respective places, leaving the Lostbelt completely.


Second Front

-ZZZ- Confirming Sita, Lakshmana, and Rama's Spirit Origins disappearance. -ZZZ- Mashu informed the group of what they read on the Storm Border's Consoles. -ZZZ- The First Front has fallen. -ZZZ- The former Demi-Servant said, giving them an Update.

Ritsuka frowns, seeing that the White Titian is getting closer. "So Rama and the others are gone…" Chat Noir said, frowning at the update.

"All three of them did their best in holding back Sefar," Charlie said, closing his eyes at the loss they had. "Once Sefar is defeated we'll have a celebration for all the Allies and the People who fought in the Lostbelt." The King of the Franks stated, wanting to do something to remember them.

Chat Noir likes that idea, even though the Lostbelt People he and Ladybug met were still around in the Present. Even though they are the same People, they are relatively different from the ones they know. "That's a nice thought, I'd like to do something to honor everyone who fought with us." He said, agreeing with the Pseudo-Servant.

"Alright everyone, you reached the Second Front," Suzaku announced to the Chaldeans and Parisian Hero. "This part you have to keep Sefar here a bit longer." The Grand Caster spoke through his Familiar.

"Got it, leave this part to us, Seimei," Ritsuka responded, arriving on top of a Building.

Once everyone arrived, the Servants stationed there weren't around. BB looks around, searching for the Servants. "I'll bite, where are the Servants that are supposed to be here?" The Moon Cancer asked,

-ZZZ- We're detecting at least three Spirit Origins in your vicinity. -ZZZ- Ginny informed the Chaldean master and Allies. -ZZZ- One's approaching you as of…now. -ZZZ-

"Master!" Ritsuka looks up at the Sky, seeing Johann Sebastian Bach approaching them. The Archer stood before his master, meeting with him.

"Johann, so you're assigned to the Second Front?" Ritsuka asked the Archer Servant.

The light brown-haired Pseudo-Servant nodded, already having his Violin and Bow at the ready. "Yes, Emperor Constantine and Pope Johanna are with me. We're planning on a defensive Strategy on Caster's request." Johann explains the plan here.

"A defensive Strategy? Like how Emperor Constantine defended Constantinople." Chat Noir stated, seeing the similarity between the plan and the Rider's Past.

Charlie looks around, searching for the two remaining Servants at the Front. "Where are they? They-" The Pseudo-Servant paused, hearing loud footsteps approaching the Front.

BB turns around, seeing the White Titian already arrived. "She's here…" The Moon Cancer told everyone, seeing her still absorbing the Lostbelt's Magical Energy. "Whatever you planned here, you better do it fast." She stated,

Johann looks at the two masters, having a purpose for coming here. "Master, Chat Noir, you two come with me. We need you two to support both Constantine and Johanna." The Archer explains to the two.

Ritsuka looks at Chat Noir who was all on board on the request. He looks back at his Servant, giving his answer. "Lead the way, Johann." The Chaldean master stated, allowing the Musician to lead the way.

Johann Sebastian Bach nodded, showing them the way to where Constantine and Johann were.


Rift

Both Ladybug and Octavian arrived at the Rift to the Present, "Alright, we're here!" The bluenette Hero announced, looking for Seimei or anyone to meet them.

Abe-no-Seimei approaches the Hero of Creation with Nero, Tlaloc, Taikoubou, and Xu Fu. "Excellent you're one second early, Ladybug. Now we can start our side of the plan." The powder-blue haired Caster said, greeting the young Hero.

"What exactly is your plan, Caster?" Octavian asked the Grand Servant before them.

"Yes, I'm curious as well…" Ladybug said, wanting to know how to defend her Home.
