Ch 62 Harry's Shadowy Support
Harry watches as Ashyia Douman disappears in the shadows, giving everyone a sigh of relief. "Talk about a close one," He said, unsure if he could handle another Battle right after finishing one in the last Section. "I don't think I could do another Battle."
"Are you alright, Harry-sama?" Aria asked her master, seeing him going limp a bit.
Passionlip looks at Harry, hearing what the Rider said. "I'm sure the young master is just relieved that we don't need to go straight into another Battle this soon right after entering the Section." The Alter Ego of Love/Hate said, turning to Meltryllis as she added something.
Harry nodded, confirming what the Alter Ego said. "Yeah, I'm still a bit tired from the fight with Kingprotea Alter," He admits to the Servants.
Meltryllis chuckled, looking at where Ashyia had just stood. "If you want to talk about a close one, then you should talk about Ashyia Douman." The Alter Ego of Pleasure said, looking at the young master. "It's very concerning that Douman said that he supports you by being against you." She said, finding it troublesome.
"Is Ashyia Douman that dangerous?" The black-haired Boy asked the Servants.
"Umu," Nero nodded, approaching Harry with Rogue Pretender, Spartacus, and Karna. "He is, young Prince. He's one of the Seven Servants that acts like…how would I put it…." The Rome Emperor said,
Andersen crossed his arms, looking at the Saber-face. "The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, but unlike them it's Seven. Either he, a Saber, or two other Alter Egos, a Pretender, or two Rulers are sent to a specific location as an introduction to the People." The Caster said, explaining to the young master Ashyia's purpose.
Harry nodded, understanding who Ashyia Douman was to his Father. "So he's a representative for my Dad then?" The young Heir asked, receiving a nod from the Servants. "Huh…who are the other Six Servants?"
"You met Three already," Nero said, answering the young master. "The first is plainly obvious, she's been with you since the beginning." The Roman Emperor explains,
Koyanskaya was the first Person Harry could think of who was with him, "Ah, Koyanskaya then," Harry said, being the obvious Person to be sent ahead before his Father.
"The Second one is Kieri Kotomine, the Third is Moriarty, the Fourth is Holmes, and the remaining two you haven't met yet. The Saber Servant, Senji Muramasa and the Pretender Alessandro di Cagliestro." Nero continued, informing Harry who the other remaining Servants were,
"Yes, records state that these Seven Servants were former Apostles of the Alien God. In Koyanskaya's case, she and the Alien God were in a non-aggression pact." Tametomo added,
Harry never thought Father Kotomine was one of the Seven Servants and acted like the Four Horsemen. But when he thinks hard about it, it makes sense considering he has something about him that says, 'I am here to prepare for my master's arrival.'
As for Senji Muramasa and Alessandro di Cagliostro, he hasn't seen them yet so he can't see it yet. "I see…is there something I need to look out for with Ashyia Douman?" Harry asked, wanting to be prepared when they meet him.
"Only that he a dangerous Foe with unpredictable Onmyoudou and Sage Arts," Karna said, standing before Harry before introducing himself. "Forgive my lack of introductions, young master. I am Karna, a Lancer. I am the Son of the Sun God, Surya. I'm here to take you to Mashu and Mr. Black" He introduced himself to Harry.
Harry flinched, looking at the white-haired Lancer. "O-Oh, yeah, nice to meet you too, Karna." He said, giving him a complex expression. "I'm sorry, I don't know your story, Karna."
Karna closes his eyes, understanding what his master's Son is saying. "I understand, Hindu Mythology is a bit advanced for your Age. Even so, I'm at your service as your Father, young master." The Hero of Benefaction said, swearing allegiance to Harry.
Harry was used to this by now, he learned to accept those who were in service to his Family and so on. "It's nice to meet you, Karna. You said that Mom and Uncle Sirius was here," He said
"That's right they were at the Medical Center before heading to the Repair Section Hub," Karna informed Harry and the others were at.
Almost everyone wince at the mere mention of the Repair Section Hub. All knew who was or who preferred to hang around there.
"It has to be that place." Andersen groans, placing his hand on his forehead. "Why does it have to be that place." The Author said to himself, complaining about the situation.
"Ara? That place?" Aria asked, curious why everyone was reacting like it was the end of the World. "What is this place that has all of you so worked up about?" The Rider asked the Chaldean Servants.
Rogue Pretender nodded like a curious Child, also curious why everyone disliked the mention of Hub. "Is the Repair Section Hub a dangerous place?" The red-haired Servant asked,
"It's the Person who's inside the Hub," Nero said, explaining to the newcomers. "Umu, she may be tamed, but she's considered to be a Beast regardless." The Roman Emperor added,
"Beast? So like Camazotz?" Harry asked, hearing the Class again. "What's a Beast exactly? Everyone is talking like it's a big deal." He said, wanting to know what the Beast Class is.
Everyone who's a Chaldean Servant looked at each other, surprised that Ritsuka nor Mashu didn't tell Harry about the Beasts. "I believe it's best to explain what the Beasts are, Nero," Tametomo said, seeing that Harry has a strong Bond with her.
"Better than me to explain to a Child," Andersen said, knowing full well he was not suited to tell Harry. As for Karna, he only met the young master once and got a glimpse of him in France, it's only right for Harry to receive information from someone he knows well.
And considering she is technically a Beasts as well, it's a perfect candidate to tell him.
Nero nodded, understanding what the others were saying. She looks at Harry, explaining what Beasts are. "Young Prince, I'm sure that you met a lot of Servants throughout your trip. And your Grail Front in South America, you already met a Beast Servant." She said,
"Yeah," Harry nodded, listening to the Roman Emperor closely on what the Beasts are.
"The Beasts or the Beasts of Humanity are the Evils of Humanity. Not as the Cardinal Sins, that's something else entirely." The Saber Face said, looking at Harry with seriousness. "Beasts of Humanity are born from Humanity, more on the Evil side of Humanity. There are Seven Beasts however, the Numbers can be varied but they are fitted into the Seven slots."
Harry nodded, listening to Nero's explanation. "What you need to know about the Beats is that even though they are Evils of Humanity, they still have a Love for them," Nero said, causing Harry to question the condition.
"A Love for Humanity and yet they represent the Evil of Humanity? How's that work?" Harry asked, curious about the Beast even more.
Nero smiles, adding some examples. "Let's see…umu, me! I have the capabilities of becoming a Beast." The Saber said, not denying the fact she is a Beast Candidate.
"You? You're a Beast Candidate?" Harry asked, surprised that this eccentric Person was a Beast Candidate. However, considering that History depicts Nero Claudius as a Tyrant, it's understandable.
"Umu, my Beast side; Draco the Beast VI/S or Beast of Depravity, wants to feats on Mankind, and yet she also wishes to walk alongside them," Nero said before adding another Beast example. "The one you met, Camazotz Beast I/ Lost or Beast of Oblivion became a Beast when the Humans of his Lostbelt sacrificed themselves in his Name to defeat ORT. He is both the Last King and Human of his Lostbelt."
"Tiamat, Beast II or Beast of Regression runs under the extremely Primitive system of "If I do not kill Humanity, I will be killed," Nero explains Tiamat's reasons for being a Beast. "It stems from she has Birthed Humanity and Loved them like a Mother, however, they kill her and in response, she needs to kill them."
"In short, the Beasts wish to end Humanity, and yet they have some form or Love for them," Nero said, finishing her mini-Lesson on the Beast Class.
Harry nodded, now understanding why many Servants/People were concerned over the Beasts' involvement. "So from what you said, the one in the Hub is a Beast too." He said, catching onto the topic.
Andersen nodded, "Yes, Kiara Sessyoin the Alter Ego/ Beast of Lust or Beast III/R represents the Lust for Humanity. She isn't your typical Heroic Spirit nor a Person in History." The Caster said, already knowing Harry was wreaking through his brain on the Alter Ego.
"So Kiara isn't someone from History then?" Harry said, surprised to hear that some weren't a part of History like the others. However, if Fictional Characters like Sherlock Holmes and James Moriarty could be around then it wouldn't be possible for unnamed Heroes or Villains to be Servants.
Regardless, since they're dealing with another Beast or in this case, another Alter Ego, they need to get to his Mother and Uncle. "Even so, we need to get there-"
Harry paused, hearing a grumbling noise from somewhere. He blushed, realizing that a grumbling sound was coming from him. "Um…"
Andersen sighs, hearing the young master's stomach. "Fine, let's head to the Medical Center First before we head to the Repair Section Hub." The Caster said, hearing Harry's stomach growl.
"Ah, the greatest Oppressor ever, hunger." Spartacus laughs, turning in the direction of the Medical Center. "Onward! The best way to rebel against this Oppressor is food!" The Berserker announced,
"Umu, this way, young Prince," Nero said, showing the way to the School.
Everyone followed the path leading to the Medical Center of the Repair Section. Unbeknownst to them someone walked out of the shadow and was watching them.
"Heh, so you're doing this again…" A shadowy Figure said before turning to his fellow Observer in the shadow.
Dantes approaches the Figure, crossing his arms. "Well? Can you, do it?" The Avenger asked his fellow Avenger. "I have something to investigate….this presence, this hatred. A new Avenger has appeared somewhere. Since you're here…"
"Kuhahahaha…very well, I'll look after him from now on." The Shadowy Figure laughs, returning to the shadows to keep an eye on Harry.
The Servants returned to the Shadows, performing their duties as the Shadows of the master.
Walking down the street, the Rani-Ts driving on the road and delivering Packages to their destination. There were Seraphix Staff gathered around the School, most of them were Medical Staff and regular Seraphic Technicians.
Harry and the others approached the Metal fence, seeing the Medical Center up close. "This…is the Medical Center?" He asked the Servant, not expecting it to be a Highschool. "It's more like a School than a Medical Center."
"Don't judge a book from its cover, young Lord," Tametomo said as they entered the Schoolyard. "It may look like a School on the outside, however it's a Medical Center equipped with advanced Medical Devices and Medicine." The Archer informed the young master.
Harry nodded, looking at the School/ Medical Center. "I see…hmm?" He stopped, seeing a dark-skinned Woman with dark hair and light blue hair at the back. She wore a white lab coat and a lavender outfit.
Next to her was a light-skinned Man with purple hair holding a long Mace. He wore an Indian Noble outfit with a golden chest-plate on his chest.
The Woman's eyes gazed over to Harry, smiling at him. "Oh, someone's coming this way." Harry points to the Prime AI of the Repair Section.
Gusion came on through the Comms, informing Harry who that Woman was. -ZZZ- Young master, that Woman you see before you is the Prime AI of the Repair Section. -ZZZ- The Prime AI of the Transfer Section.
The Prime AI of the Repair Section approaches Harry and the others, greeting them properly. "Hello everyone, we've been expecting you all." Ayus smiles, happily greeting the group.
"Especially you, young master." Ayus smiled, greeting Harry. "I am Ayus, the Prime AI in charge of the Repair Section." The dark-haired Woman introduced herself to Harry,
"Nice to meet you, Miss Ayus." The black-haired Boy responded to Ayus's greeting.
Ayus looks at Duryodhana, "Berserker, aren't you going to introduce yourself?" The AI asked her former Servant.
Duryodhana flinched, turning his head away from the group. "H-Hey, I never dealt with Kids before." The Berserker said,
"And yet you helped out with me and the Rani-Ts," Ayus said, staring at her former Servant. "He's only one Person, Berserker. It's not like the Rani-Ts where it's a lot." The Prime AI spoke,
Karna looks at his Mentor, "My Friend, it's best to introduce oneself during a first meeting." The Hero of Charity said, "You've been in this situation before during the Papermoon Grail War and Seraphix's reconstruction."
Duryodhana sighed, nodding to Karna's words. No matter what it is, he's right. "H-Hey there, Little Fella, I'm Duryodhana the Eldest of the Hundred Princes who fought against Arjuna and Bhima in the Kurukshetra War alongside Karna and Ashwatthama." The Berserker introduced himself to the next heir of Chaldea.
"Just a little t-bit, I also trained Karna here. I taught him everything I know," Duryodhana said, proudly telling Harry who he was.
Harry nodded, turning to Karna who nodded in confirmation. "Really? That's amazing actually," He said, looking back at Duryodhana. "It's like having a Teacher around and a Friend."
"Exactly! By the Grail, you are smart as everyone says you are!" The purple-haired Berserker said, being impressed by Harry. He then turns to his former master, requesting something of her. "Ayus, let's give the young master a proper place to rest after journeying here from a tiresome Battle."
Ayus nodded, already planning for that. "That's what I'm offering, Berserker." She turns to Harry, smiling at her. "Young master, please use the Medical Center as a place of rest. You looked tired, it's only right as a Prime AI of Repair to treat you." She said, placing her hand on her chest.
Harry looks at his Father's Servant, seeing their approval. Everyone seemingly agreed, accepting Ayus and Duryodhana's offer. He then looks back at the two, taking up their offer. "Thank you, Miss Ayus, Mr. Duryodhana." He said, thanking them.
Ayus and Duryodhana guided Harry and the others inside the Medical Center. Harry was given the chance to see what was inside the Medical Center.
It's similar to a Highschool's Hallways, however, the Classrooms were filled with either a Lab or Recovery Rooms/Surgical Rooms.
The young Boy was left upstairs in one of the vacant Recovery Rooms after having something to eat.
Ayus suggested that Harry should lie down before meeting with his Mother and Uncle. The Servants from the Storm Border and Counter Force Servants agree with the notion, allowing Harry to take a little nap.
Though with protection of course, with Duryodhana here, two Servants stayed to watch over Harry. Karna is the charitable Hero he is and Aria is the faithful Servant she is to her master.
Harry did so, napping upstairs as the others patrolled the area for any Sentinels and possibly the Avengers who showed up with Ashyia in the Transfer Section.
Resting peacefully on the Bed, Harry began to stir as a looming shadow watches over him.
In a dark room, Harry's eyes fluttered before opening them. They widen, realizing he wasn't in the bed he was using nor the Recovery Room he was staying in.
As a matter of fact, he wasn't even in the Repair Section nor Seraphix. This was a black room with no lights or anything resembling anywhere. "W-Where am I? What is this place?" Harry asked, hearing his voice echo.
Harry began to slowly panic, unsure what was going on. Then he heard footsteps coming from behind him. "My theory was right, you do have some Affinity with dreams. Hmm…yes, this will be useful." A familiar voice echoes throughout the black room.
"It's you…Avenger!" Harry smiles, feeling relaxed by the sound of the Avenger's voice.
"…"
The young Heir of Chaldea turns around, searching for the green-clocked Servant. "Avenger, you said that this place is some kind of experiment you're doing. What is it you're trying to do?" Harry asked, still searching for the Avenger.
Harry then saw a shadowy figure approach him, his silhouette was different than he'd seen before. He could tell he wore a cape on his side, swaying like his cloak; he wore a top hat with a mask covering his one eye. His hand was covered in a gauntlet and on his side was a Sword.
Harry steps back, feeling like this wasn't the Dantes he'd known back in Russia. No, this was an entirely different Dantes, "Who are you? I can tell you're a different version of the Avenger back in the Russian Outpost." He stated,
Count of Monte Cristo smiles, looking up at Harry. "Son of Chaldea, you have a difficult challenge ahead of you." The Avenger spoke, "Limbo and Tiara-no-Kagekiyo are no pushovers. Remain vigilant and determined," He said, gazing over to the Spirit Origins Watch.
"You have yet to use your Watch, I'm sure your Father and Da Vinci told you about it." Count of Monte Cristo said, looking at the Boy.
Harry looks down, seeing the Gift Da Vinci made for him. "Yeah, but I don't know how to use it." The young Heir said,
The Avenger chuckles, "Then I shall assist you when the time comes," He says, watching the Boy starting to fade.
Harry began to feel dizzy and tired all of a sudden. He got a feeling that he was waking up. "W-Wait, I don't know who or what's your Name?" He asked the Avenger.
"Kuhahahaha! Son of Chaldea now is not the time to reveal myself to you." Count of Monte Cristo said, looking at Harry disappearing from this Dreamscape. "Know that I will always be with you," He said, watching the young master disappear.
Waking up from his sudden dream, Harry shot up from his Bed, "W-What just…" Looking forward, he saw that Aria, Ayus, and Karna standing at the foot of his Bed.
"Harry-sama! We're glad you're awake!" Aria said, her voice sounded relieved.
"W-What happened?" Harry asked, looking at each face.
"Young master, you haven't responded to anyone's attempts to wake you," Karna said, turning to Ayus who had a Stethoscope ready around her neck. "We've called for Ayus's help in solving your predicament. She was about to check on you when you suddenly woke up." The Lancer explains to the young master.
Ayus put on the Stethoscope, "After I receive a summons here and hear of your condition, I have to help you. Excuse me, young master. Please allow me to check your vitals first." She said, moving closer to the Heir of Chaldea.
"O-Oh, okay," Harry said, allowing the AI Doctor to check over him.
After checking Harry over, Ayus leaned back and made a diagnosis. "Hmm…"
"Ayus, what's your take on the young master?" Karna asked, falling in as Harry's temporary Guardian until they meet his master or Mashu.
Aria looks at the Prime AI, "Is Harry-sama going to be alright?" The Rider asked,
Ayus nodded, seeing nothing was wrong with Harry physically. "The young master is in the perfect peek of Health. In fact, there's nothing wrong about him." The Prime AI said to the Servants. "My diagnosis is that this is something Spiritual. The Medical Records I've pulled up only state that this only happened to one Person in Chaldea." She said.
Harry looks at Ayus, curious about what happened to him. "Who is it, Miss Ayus?" He asked, wanting to know who.
"Your Father, Ritsuka Fujimaru."
AN: How do you like it? The Count of Monte Cristo being Harry's shadow like Dantes? Anyways please leave a comment or review.
