AN: Quick change, I decided on three Counter Force Servants.
Ch 52 Gundam Archer
The next morning, Harry woke up after a Night's rest. It felt weird not having Fou around, however he's not worried. He remembers the Beast Rayshifting with them on the Storm Border,
Somewhere in Seraphix, he's somewhere with his Parents and Uncle. Harry was about to leave his bed when he felt someone was also in his Bed with him. Removing the covers, his eyes widen at Aria sleeping right beside him. "W-WAH!"
Harry fell from his Bed, not expecting his Servant to be sleeping with him. Aria smiled, getting up, and greeted him, "Good morning, Harry-sama, did have a nice sleep?" The Rider asked his master.
"A-Aria, why were sleeping in my bed with me?" Harry asked his Servant, embarrassed that she managed to sneak into his room.
Tamamo Aria smiled, sitting up and looking at her master. "Harry-sama, as your Servant it's only right for me to stay as close to you as possible." The Rider said, giving her reason why she was in bed with him. "Seraphix is a dangerous place with Security Ais around,"
Harry wasn't sure how to respond to Aria's reasoning, on one hand, she was right and on the other, it was rather inappropriate for someone of his Age. "Um…Aria, as much as I appreciate your worry for me, you don't need to go above and beyond."
"I see…if that's what you wish, Harry-sama. Then I shall abide by it." The pink-haired Fox said, hearing some footsteps running outside the room.
Bursting the door open, Nero greeted the young master. "Rise and shine, young Prince! We've got a lot to do today!" The Saber said, perky as ever.
Nero paused, seeing that their new Ally was on Harry's Bed and Harry was on the floor. "Ah, they always start at the young Age…" The Red Saber stated before getting to the point. "Anywho, young Prince Sakura has made Breakfast downstairs. We have much to talk about."
"R-Right, Nero!" Harry got up, putting on his shoes before standing up from his Bed. "Come on, Aria. Let's go and have some Breakfast!" He said to the Rider Servant.
"Hai, Harry-sama." Tamamo Aria said, jumping off the Bed and joining both Nero and her new master downstairs in the Dining Room.
Downstairs in the Dining Room, Medusa Saber placed some plates on the Dining Table. "Medusa are the plates already set on the Table?" Sakura asked from the Kitchen.
Medusa turns around, seeing Sakura finishing up with some things in the Kitchen. "Yes, Sakura, I have already set the Table for the young master and the others." The violet-haired Saber said, hearing footsteps coming down from the Second Floor.
Coming down from the Second Floor, Harry came into the Dining Room as Sakura came in with some Pancakes, some Golden Juice, and what seemed to be Golden Apple Sauce.
"Harry, good morning. How was your Night's sleep here in the Growth Section?" The purple-haired AI asked the young Heir of Chaldea.
Harry smiles, answering the AI's question. "It was good, thank you for taking us in, Sakura." The young Boy said as the Servants joined them.
Sakura smiles, placing the food down on the Table. "You're very welcome, Harry. Now come and eat your fill." The AI motions to the food before her. "Though this is nothing compared to the Keep Section's AIs cooking, I was programmed with a decent enough of cooking in case anyone here in Seraphix came across Growth." The AI explains to the young master.
Harry nodded, sitting down at the Table as Sakura introduced the food before him. "The Apple Juice and Apple Sauce were made by our Bronze, Silver, and Golden Apples here in the Orchards." The purple-haired AI explains what she served to Harry.
"The Apples not only restore Magical Energy to us Servants but also replenish the Magical Energy in Mages too," Medusa added, sitting down as the other Servants joined in.
Nero sat beside Harry on the left, nodding to what Medusa said. "Umu, you need the Energy if we're to correct this Singularity." The Saber said, ushering Harry to eat up.
"Right," Harry picked up his utensils and began to dine in. He took a bite of the Pancakes, amazed by the taste. "This is amazing! You're a good Chef, Sakura!" The young Boy turns to the AI who smiles at the compliment.
As Harry ate, Tamamo Aria looked at Nero, curious about their Mission. "Nero, we know that the plan is to meet up with the Servants that came on the Storm Border and make our way to the Central Command Room." The Rider said, wanting to learn more. "Can you give us a little more information on who we're looking for?"
Harry swallowed his food before speaking. "Minamoto-no-Tametomo, I may not know that much about Japanese History. But Minamoto-no-Tametomo is a famous Warrior from the Minamoto Clan and is very skilled with Archery." He said, remembering his Lessons with his Father about Japan's Historical Figures. "He's notable for being dragged into the Hogen Rebellion along with his Father on the Emperor's side but lost and later committed Seppuku." He continued what he learned about the Archer.
"Umu, that's basically the gist of his deeds in Life." Nero nodded before explaining the real History. "But in truth, Minamoto-no-Tametomo is a Robot created by the Minamoto Clan recycled by Minamoto-no-Raikou's Armor, the Settsu Armor."
"H-Hold on, so the Servant we're talking about wasn't even Human and yet became a Servant!?" Harry asked shocked that even in the Past they had a Robot, a functional Robot where Technology like that shouldn't be possible.
And yet, Nezha and Danzo was a perfect example of Technology or Sage Arts of Ancient Times from what he'd Learned from Moriarty.
"Anything can be a Servant, given the chance or how well-known they are," Medusa said, explaining to the young master. "In any case, Tametomo is a large Servant. Even if the Growth Section is considered the largest Section in all of Seraphix, someone like him is easy to spot." The Saber added,
"So he's that large?" Harry said, couldn't help but picture those generic Robots with a large robotic Bow. "Seems easy enough, but it's still a big place to look for him," The young Boy said,
Medusa saw that the young master was pondering on how to even start the search. Shutting her eyes, the Hero Killer turns to her Charge. "Sakura," She called the AI's Name.
Sakura looks over to her former Servant, hearing her Name being called. "Yes, Medusa?" The AI asked,
"I'll be assisting with the search for Archer," Medusa said, offering her assistance to the young master.
"Wait, really? You're going to help with the search, Medusa?" Harry asked the Greek Monster, smiling at her assistance.
Nero looks over to Sakura, joining them on the Table. "Sakura are you okay with us taking Medusa on this short Mission?" The Emperor of Roses asked the AI.
Sakura nodded, agreeing with what Medusa suggested. "Yes, as Medusa said, the Growth Section is large, you need all the help you can get." The AI said before adding her own statement. "And the Growth Section Base will be your Base for the meantime."
"Thank you, Sakura." Harry smiles, continuing to eat his Breakfast before leaving to explore the Area.
Leaving the Base, Harry, Aria, Medusa, and Nero went off to explore the Growth Section of Seraphix.
Walking around the Section, Harry noticed, despite being in a Digital Space with no Sunlight. The Wheat, Crops, and Orchards were flourishing with the Artificial Sun and Air.
Harry approaches the Wheat Field, "It still amazes me that the Crops here can grow in a Digital Space like the Outside World."
"BB has the Skill Territory Creation along with Muryan's Authority to establish a Fae Domain. You could say, Seraphix is an entirely new World with its own rules." Medusa explains, standing behind the young master.
"Muryan?" Harry looks at the violet-haired Servant,
Nero steps in, answering Harry's question. "Muryan or Kazuradrop is an Alter Ego Servant that serves as Seraphix's Keep Administrator. With the events of the British Lostbelt, Kazuradrop's Spirit Origins got merged with Muryan of the Lostbelt." The Red Saber stated, explaining who was in charge of the Keep Section. "So basically her Muryan Component overshadows her other Components."
Harry nodded, understanding what the Emperor was saying. "So Muryan Kazuradrop, she's another Servant?" He asked,
"Yes, though her Combat Abilities aren't stunning," Medusa explains before hearing Nero nod in agreement.
"Umu, though within her own Territory, she can literally reverse the playing field," Nero explains Muryan's Abilities. "Where the Big are Small and the Small are Big, the Weak is Strong and the Strong is Weak. Though she prefers not to get involved with the Human World," The Saber Face said,
Harry wasn't that surprised, every Servant he'd met had some kind of Power that seemed to be over the top. He was used to it by now, after his experience in South America.
"Ano…sorry to interrupt, but…" Aria points to the end of the path, "I don't think they are friendly." The Rider said, causing Harry and the others to look.
Coming down from the path was Six black Shadows with four dots in the shape of a Diamond. (Shapeshifter).
Medusa and Nero drew their Swords, seeing BB's Security Ais. "BB's Security! Young Prince, stay back!" Nero said, not wanting the Ais to get any ideas on Attacking the young Boy.
"Yes, stay back while we take care of the Security Ais," Medusa stated, hearing the sandals of Aria stepping forward.
"I'll join as well, as Harry-sama's Servant it's my duty to protect him," Aria said, being the first Battle that she encountered in her Summoning.
Aria reached for her Katana, however, there was a problem. "H-Hold on…" She tried to reach for it, however, the handle was a bit too far, "Ara? Ara,"
"Ara, ara, ara, ara, ara…" Harry saw that Tamamo Aria was struggling to reach for her Sword, circling around just to grab hold of the handle.
"A-Aria, s-stop that. You'll get dizzy if you-" Harry reached out his hands, anticipating for her to fall.
Harry went over only to miss by a second. "Ara…" Aria was on the Digital grass, her pupils were replaced by spirals.
Harry leans down, holding the Aspect of Tamamo-no-Mae, "Aria, take it easy, it's alright. We have two Servants who can handle the Enemy." The black-haired Boy said, seeing the Rider can't use her Sword…or fight due to her circling around herself.
"Umu, just stay with the young Prince, Aria. We'll handle these Security Ais." Nero said, materializing her Sword in her hands.
"Medusa, let's go!" The Emperor of Roses dashed forward propelling her Sword at the Shapeshifters, impaling one causing it to shriek before it disappeared,
Medusa sighs and looks back at Aria and Harry taking out her Dagger. "Aria, we're counting on you to protect the young master." The Saber looks at the Counter Force Servant, seeing her recover from her dizziness.
Harry watches as Aria gets up after hearing the Hero Killer asked her to keep him safe. "Hai…I'll do my best to protect Harry-sama," Aria said, calling forth her Fox to assist her with defending Harry.
"Right, don't push yourselves, everyone." The black-haired Boy said, knowing they could do it.
Nero's Flaming Sword swung at the Security Ais, screeching before disappearing. "HA!" She then proceeded to Attack the Third one,
The Third one counters Nero's Attack by releasing its tendrils hurling straight for Nero. "Nero, look out!" Harry cried out, reaching for his Wand however he remembered that he left it back in his room on the Storm Border.
Medusa went in, using her Dagger to slash away the tendril from Nero. "Nero!"
"Umu!" The Red Saber dashed forward, striking the Ai in the eye,
Medusa followed Nero's lead by slashing the remaining two Shapeshifters on the Path.
The remaining two Security Ais screeched as their Body began to disappear. Medusa swung her Sword, "Security Ais defeated, I sense no more Hostiles nearby." The violet-haired Saber said, looking around for any more Enemies BB might've sent.
Nero smiles, seeing things are safe for now. "Umu, we're good for now." Turning to Harry, she went to see if he was alright. "Young Prince, are you alright?"
"Yes, I didn't get hurt while you're Battling the Security Ais. Only if I brought my Wand then I would be able to help…" Harry looks at where the Ais BB sent, curious why they look like that. "What were those things?" He asked,
"BB's Security Ais," Nero said, looking at Medusa walking back to them. "They're the ones who patrol the entire Seraphix Oil Rig. They're both intimidating and dangerous for anyone who's not used to these things."
Aria steps forward, taking the moment to speak her mind. "We should leave before these things respawn, right Harry-sama?" The Rider asked, looking at her master.
Harry nodded, seeing Medusa already waiting for them to continue their search. "Yeah, we should." He said as they walked down the Path.
They continued walking down the Path within the Growth Section. Throughout their track, the group encountered some Growth Ais or Rani Gs and Transfer Ais or Rani Ts,
They asked the Rani G Series if they encountered any new Servants that they've seen. They all pointed in the same direction, which was near the Western Crop Fields.
Heading to where the Ais pointed to, the group made their way over to the Western Crop Fields.
Walking on the Path, Harry looks at the Servants, curious about what lies in the Western Fields. "Medusa, Nero, what's in the Western Crop Fields?" The young Heir asked the Servants.
"The Western Fields is where we primarily grow our Produce for the Staff. Nothing special than the Orchard where we grow our Apples." Medusa explains, been in the Growth Section for the longest. "We'll be approaching the Western Fields soon, though I do believe there's a high chance of more Security Ais being there."
Aria smiles, "Then we can defeat them like before." The Rider said, placing her hand on her chest. "Though I cannot fight with my Katana, I can cast Buffs on you two if needed."
Harry looks at his Servant, smiling at the idea. "Yeah, it's best if you are on the supportive side, Aria." He said, not wanting her to topple over like the last time. "I don't want you to be dizzy and fall over."
"Thank you for being considerate, Harry-sama." The pink-haired Servant said, smiling and blushing at his comment.
"Umu, definitely Preator's Harem EX Skill there." Nero laughs, causing Medusa to snicker.
Harry blushed, turning away in a huff at the joke every Servant has. "Ah, yes, the famous Harem EX Skill, I remember my first Senpai has it too. What a coincidence that Kohai has inherited it too!" A sudden voice spoke out of nowhere.
"Was that-"
Both Nero and Medusa materialized their Weapons, hearing that all too familiar voice. "Young master, stand behind us, Aria you know what to do," Medusa said, holding her Dagger ready to strike.
"Show yourself, AI!" Nero announced, keeping an eye out for the Main AI of Seraphix.
"Oh poo, it seems that you got two more Servants with you, Kohai than just Nero." BB sighed from wherever she was. "Oh well, can't change the past then and can't change it now. It's time for the all-knowing BB to make her grand entrance!" (Insert BB Channel)
A sudden burst of confetti and lights saying BB Channel appeared before them. Twirling out of the confetti was a purple-haired Woman wearing a black trench coat and a Baton. "Greetings and salutations, Kohai! Your Father's beloved Kohai has graced you with my presence!"
Harry saw the Servant responsible for this Pseudo-Singularity. He gulps in his fear, looking at the Moon Cancer. "S-So you're BB?"
"That's right, my I can tell you're taken aback by my presence. Understandable since I'm not exactly Human." BB smiles at Harry before hearing Nero speak.
"Why did you show yourself, BB? Wasn't waiting at the final area your kind of thing?" The blonde Saber asked the purple-haired AI.
BB merely waved her Baton at the Roman Emperor, answering "Come now, isn't it's the Host's job to introduce herself to their Guest?" The Moon Cancer said, stepping on the Digital Ground. "I did so with Senpai and that Counter Force Servant he'd encounter with Kintoki (Rider). Also with Mashu and…that guy with Vlad III." The Moon Cancer stated.
"It's only right that I do the same with Kohai!" BB cleared her throat, drawing her attention to Harry and his Servant. "Ahem, welcome to the Sakura Labyrinth Pseudo-Singularity, Kohai. This is where you'll prove yourself as the Heir of Chaldea to us in Seraphix!" BB cheerfully said,
"B-But didn't I do just that with Tezcatlipoca back in the Crystal Valley?" The black-haired Boy asked the Moon Cancer.
BB shook her head, "Oh no, no, no, no. Kohai. Tezcatlipoca is just one out of three Leaders of the Anti-Succession Faction." The Moon Cancer said with a smile. "Obviously I'm the Second in Command structure, the Third is on his way to the Atlantic Defense Station. Though you already met him he's been keeping a very close eye on yo-woops, I said too much."
"Keeping an eye on me?" Harry questions what the Moon Cancer means. "What do you-"
"Well, I've taken my sweet time talking with you. Now, on with the test!" BB said, snapping her fingers, causing the ground to rumble.
Aria and her Fox stood next to Harry, ensuring his safety. "Ara, ara, what's going on?" The Rider asked, seeing some Pink Robots approaching them.
Nero looks around, seeing BB has called for the Sakura Bots, Seraphix's Inner Sentinels against them. "Seraphix's Sentinels!? BB you fiend!" The Red Saber said, preparing to Attack,
"There's so many of them, it's an Army!" Harry exclaims, not expecting this thing to happen.
-ZZZ- Alert, Alert, unauthorized Person in Seraphix. Exterminate, exterminate. -ZZZ- The Sakura Bots gaze over to Harry, aiming their Guns at the black-haired Boy. (End Song)
Medusa's eyes widen, turning to Aria. "Rider, take the young master away from here! The Sentinels has eyes on him!" The Saber exclaims, needing the Rider to take Harry out of the area.
"Right, I'll take him on my Fox," Aria said, looking at the Giant White Fox standing next to them. "Harry-sama, hop onto my Mount. I'll take you back to the Growth Section." The Aspect of Tamamo-no-Mae said,
"No, Medusa, Nero we can't leave you two behind and face the Sentinels!" Harry looks at the Servants, not wanting them to leave them.
BB laughs, seeing Harry wanting to stay with the Servants he'd met. "My oh my, it seems Kohai is a lot like master," The Moon Cancer said, looking down at the young Boy. "Not wanting to leave the Servants despite being offered the chance to escape." The AI commented,
"Are you sure you're not actually related? I hardly find it believable that you were adopted if you both share the same appearance and Personality traits." BB commented, observing the young master. 'Maybe there's some common Ancestry, I better check things later…hmm?'
BB paused, hearing something from behind them. "Code Archer: Release,"
"Mirror Moon convergence. Mode change. Tsukuyomi-Class Revolving Cannon,"
BB turns around, seeing a light from the sky hitting a large grey Mecha Archer, turning the armor dark and glowed red while holding a large Mechanized Bow in the air. "Ah…fuck…BB Shift!" The AI instantly left the Growth Section once she saw the Archer behind them.
"Gouchin Yumiharizuki…Starting countdown…."
"3…2…1…Launch…" The Mechanized Archer released a red Arrow in the air,
The Arrow flew in the sky, as it fell upon the Sakura Bots, wiping the Army out.
Shielded by Nero and Medusa from the dust cloud, Harry felt the winds from the blast blowing through the small openings of the Servant Shield. "W-What was that!?" He asked the Servants, feeling the winds dying down.
Once the Servants no longer feel the force from the Archer's Arrow, the Servants look at the damage on the Sentinels. "Analyzing, the Army…none remains. Conclusion, Enemies defeated,"
Walking out of the dust was a large grey Armored Servant, his movements were robotic as he approached the Servants.
"Young Prince, that was Archer's Noble Phantasm. Minamoto-no-Tametomo's Gouchin Yumiharizuki." Nero said, informing the young Heir of Chaldea what was that Attack. Smiling at the Archer from the Storm Border, Nero greeted the Servant. "Hey, Archer, next time would you give us a warning before deploying your Noble Phantasm? It could really injure the young Prince." She stated.
"Ah, a shame that the Western Fields got destroyed." Medusa sighs, looking at the damage to the part of the Path and Crops. "Better tell Sakura when we get back,"
"I apologize, Saber Nero. I calculated that it'll be easier and quicker to get rid of the Enemies at once." Tametomo spoke, explaining his reasons for deploying his Noble Phantasm to the Saber. "Adding notice to computing Data for any nearby Allies in the vicinity before deploying Noble Phantasm."
Tamamo Aria smiles, looking at the Archer. "At least he got rid of the Enemies before they could harm Harry-sama." The Rider said,
Harry looks up at the Mecha Servant, shocked and mesmerized by how large he is. He can't speak due to the complete awe of the Archer, "S-So cool…" He said, already
The Archer took notice of Harry, scanning him. "Facial recognition added, Identity confirmed." Tametomo gazes down at Harry, greeting him as a sign of curtsy. "Salutations young Lord, Harison Potter Fujimaru. I am Archer: Anti-Army Battle Warrior Unit, Minamoto-no-Tametomo. I was in Briefing Room Two when BB Rayshifted us here in the Singularity,"
Harry shook his head, hearing him greeting him. "O-Oh, sorry. It's nice to meet you, Minamoto-no-Tametomo." He greeted him back.
Tametomo analyzes Harry, seeing him having a few scrapes from his Noble Phantasm. "Analysis complete, young Lord Harrison, it seems my Noble Phantasm has caused some minor injuries." He said, taking note of the scrapes on his arm.
"Oh, this? It's nothing, I'm fine," Harry responded before Aria approached him.
"Ara? Harry-sama's been injured? Then we should head back to the Base to patch him up." Tamamo Aria said, seeing this as a failure on her part.
Harry raises his hands, seeing this as not an issue. "N-No, it's fine. This is just a scratch, nothing to get over with." He said, not wanting them to get too concerned over him.
Nero approached them, hearing that Harry was injured. "Regardless, they have a point. Any injury is no laughing matter, young Prince." She crossed her arms, "Umu, in fact, it could hinder you in Battle. In any case, we've achieved our objective of finding Tametomo." She looks at the Archer.
"I see, so you all were looking for me…an understandable logic," Tametomo said, obeying with Nero's words. "In any case, I suggest a regroup before BB sends reinforcements to this Area."
"Don't forget, I still need to report to Sakura the damages to the Fields," Medusa stated, reminding them of the Western Fields.
Harry nodded, understanding where the Servants were coming from. He couldn't argue with People who have Hundreds of years of Battle experience. "I guess if you all put it that WAY!" The young Boy exclaims, feeling the sudden movement of Tametomo's hands grabbing him.
Tametomo took the young master, placing him on his shoulders. "Young Lord, permit me to carry you back to your Base of Operation." He said, looking at Harry who was amazed by how high he was.
"Oh, um…granted," Harry said as he felt the Mecha begin to move.
"Umu, this way back to the Growth Section Base, Tametomo!" Nero points to the direction they came from.
Aria looks up at her master, placing her hands over her mouth. "Be careful there, Harry-sama." The Rider said, watching carefully in case Harry slips off of the Mecha.
Harry nodded, looking down at his Servant with a smile. He then looks at the horizon, feeling excited being up this high, 'It feels like I'm piloting a Gundam…Draco would be jealous.' He giggles, thinking what his Cousin would think.
