AN: So heads up, after OC II, I changed some bits. Instead of four representatives, there's Seven. Chapter 62 is updated with new information. Anyway, enjoy the chapter.
Ch 66 The Malignant Representative of Chaldea
After gathering a decent fighting force, Harry, Mashu, and Sirius made their way over to the Build Section Gate.
The Servants accompanying them were Karna, Tamamo Aria, Andersen, Nero, Shining Star, Vlad III (Extra), and Kagekiyo. They're meeting going to meet both Lip and Duryodhana at the mid-section of the Gate before heading to it.
Kiara stayed behind, not wanting to be involved with this as much as she had to. However, she did agree to try and reestablish contact with the Storm Border.
Spartacus was still running interference with the Sentinels; Charlie went ahead and scoped the area. Tametomo was staying at a reasonable distance in case they needed support, and the others were on standby while the main force went against Douman.
Sirius was getting worried; the fact that one of Wizarding History's Dark Lords was serving his Son was really concerning. Especially concerning when it comes to his Son,
Ashyia Douman, in the Wizards' point of view, was a dangerous and malicious Onmyoji. Though he knows about Onmyoudou, it's not well known outside of Japan, and its practices in this Day and Age are scarce.
"Ahem…Mashu," Sirius looks at his Daughter-in-Law having some questions about Ashyia Douman. "Ashyia Douman, or Limbo from what you all call him. What sorta Person is he? From what my Family said about him, he's one of the most depraved Dark Wizards that ever lived." He said, sharing information about what he knows about Limbo.
Mashu nodded, seeing it only right to tell him about the Alter Ego. "Your description about him is right on point, Black-san." The former Demi-Servant said, confirming what he said. "Limbo-san is not like other Servants; he enjoys toying with Enemies. Often cursing them out of Fun."
Sirius pales at how Mashu describes the former Apostle of the Alien God. "So what does that mean for Ritsuka?" He asked, afraid to know what Douman's goals are with his Son.
"I'm not going to lie to you, Black-san; however Limbo-san was once an Enemy of Chaldea before. He went around, doing surveillance work for the Enemy before being defeated by Ritsuka when his hubris got to him." Mashu explains to her Father-in-Law who Douman was before. "Right after defeating him and his Singularity has been resolved, Ritsuka Summoned him to aid him in protecting Humanity." She continued to explain to Sirius,
"Umu, he and seven other Servants that once served the Enemy now serve Preator as the Seven Representatives of Chaldea." Nero piqued in, listening into the conversation. "Most of them are willing to do some of the dirty work for him. Think of them as the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse." The Roman Emperor commented.
Sirius doesn't like that thought, his own Son has some sort of Inner Circle much like Voldemort. However, even though the Servants in Ritsuka's Inner Circle are filled with People/Servants similar to the Death Eaters.
They seem to be more or less deranged, to put it mildly. From what he observed, his Son is like a cornerstone to them. They respected him, whatever Ritsuka did to defeat them they now followed him without question,
"Black-san, I know that you might not like the idea of Ritsuka having Seven Servants acting as his Representatives, but I vouch that they do have good intentions," Mashu said, explaining that these Servants aren't bad, they're just doing what they can do for Ritsuka. Even doing some heinous things Ritsuka wouldn't do.
"I understand what you mean, Mashu." The shaggy-haired Wizard said, "Like I said before, even though I may question some choices you and Ritsuka made (Like having a Dark Lord in your midst). I'm willing to believe you have a good reason to do them." Sirius said, not wanting to ruin what he has with his Son.
"In any case, Ashyia Douman. I know that I speak about how he is in Wizard History." Sirius stated, changing the subject a bit. "I'd like to know what makes him different from what I know and the one here." He said, wanting to see if what he knows is true.
"Um…" Harry chuckles, scratching his cheek. "He's scary in both appearance and how he speaks. He's always laughing or chuckling, um let's see…what else…ah! He appears out of nowhere like that." He snaps his fingers, showing his Grandfather/Godfather how Douman appears.
"Appearing out of nowhere…that sounds familiar." Sirius couldn't help but picture that Servant who appeared before him and Remus in Fuyuki. However, he couldn't be sure just yet, "What else you can tell me about him?" He asked,
"Well, he's an Alter Ego Servant; the caricatured version of Ashyia Douman from what History described him to be," Mashu explains to her Father-in-Law. "He's also a Composite Servant," She added,
Sirius raised a brow, wondering what a Composite Servant is. "What is that?" He asked,
Kagekiyo opened her eyes, answering Sirius's question. "They're Servants that are made up of many other things. In Limbo's case, his Components are the Aztec Goddess, Itzpapalotl, the Slavic God Chernobog, and the Vengeful Spirit of Heian Japan, Safu." The Avenger explains what Limbo is made of.
"H-Hold on a minute," Sirius halted his track, holding out his hands and trying to understand what was said. "You said Ashyia Douman was made of a God, a Goddess, and Fujiwara-no-Akimitsu, a Sadaijin who turned into an Evil Spirit!? T-That's just sounds impossible," He said, unable to comprehend what was going on.
"How can something like that exist!? Aren't Gods just Religious Beliefs and Mythology?" Sirius asked, trying to make sense of it all. "I-It's just impossible for that to happen!"
Vlad III (Extra) looks at Sirius, raising a brow at him. "Lord Black, aren't we impossible to happen in Wizard and Mundane standards?" The Lancer asked the Wizards.
Sirius looks at the Servant who he felt like they were Friends. "Y-Yes, but something like a Divine Being? Let alone combining them into one is an impossible feat to do…" The Wizard stated,
Harry watches a baffled Sirius, trying to make sense of all this. "Uncle Sirius,"
The shaggy-haired Wizard took a moment to recollect himself, "Merlin, just when I heard it all. The next thing you will tell me is that Merlin or King Arthur is here or even the Founders of Hogwarts are here as well." Sirius commented, not noticing the expression on the Chaldeans, knowing something he doesn't.
"In any case, we're getting closer to our destination," Karna said, seeing the rendezvous point where they were going to meet with the other Servants.
Mashu looks at Harry, seeing they're nearing their objective. "Harry-kun, be sure to stay close to me, Black-san, and Shining Star-san." The former Demi-Servant said to her Son.
Harry nodded, understanding what his Mother was saying. "Okay Mom," He responded, turning to Hassan of the Shining Star and smiling. "I'm looking forward to working with you again." He said, knowing how strong he was.
"Indeed, I am still evaluating you, young master. Knowing that you might die during this mission wouldn't sit right with me." Hassan of the Shining Star said, not sugarcoating his words.
"At least you are being honest, Shining Star," Harry said with a smile,
The group made their way to the rendezvous where Passionlip and Duryodhana were waiting for them.
Passionlip and Duryodhana were standing on the road, waiting for the others' arrival. The Alter Ego looks around before seeing the group behind them. "Ah, they're here, Duryodhana." The purple-haired Servant said, looking behind them.
"About time, I was wondering when they're going to show up," Duryodhana said, moving his Mace over his shoulders.
The group soon approached the two as Mashu with Harry and Sirius walked up to them. Once Sirius saw Passionlip, his mouth hung open. "Merlin's beard! Those are some pair of breasts!" He said, never seeing anything like them before.
Harry looks at his Grandfather/Godfather, warning Sirius about Passionlip. "Uncle Sirius, Passionlip is a bit self-conscious about her Body looks," The young Heir said, not wanting the Alter Ego to feel bad about herself,
"A-Ahem, r-right, sorry," Sirius said, thanking Harry for telling him this beforehand. "Thanks for telling me this, but really. Can Women's breasts be this large…?" He asked himself, unsure how it was possible.
Mashu smiles at the Servants, greeting them once more. "Hello again, Passionlip-san, Duryodhana-san. Are you two ready to face Limbo-san?" She asked the two,
"Y-Yes, Mashu we are," Passionlip said, ready to help out when needed.
"Right before that, am I to assume that the young master is going to command us?" Duryodhana asked, looking at Harry who flinched at his gaze. "Not that I'm complaining, but he's a bit green in that field." The Berserker stated,
Andersen nodded, agreeing with the Hindu Hero. "True as it is, but he's gained plenty of experience here to qualify as a master." The Fairytale Author said, having confidence that Harry will play his part.
Aria steps forward, supporting her current master. "Yes, Harry-sama is a very capable master. I know that for a fact!" The Rider said, causing Harry to blush.
"Hahaha…thanks, Aria." Harry scratches his blushed cheeks.
Sirius and Mashu blink, looking at the young Boy. "Well, well, seems like Harry is like James." He chuckles, remembering how James used to scratch his cheeks in embarrassment.
Mashu merely smiles, happy to see Harry having fun despite being in a Pseudo-Singularity. She then heard metal boots coming from the other end where they were heading. "Hmm? Charlie-san?" She asked, seeing the King of the Franks. "What is he doing back this early?"
"He must've spotted something that Douman did at the Gate." Vlad III (Extra) said, assuming that was the case.
"Either way, let's hear what he saw in his scouting," Duryodhana said, turning to face the King of France.
Charlie came running up to the group, reporting what he saw at the Build Section Gate. "Heya just got back from seeing what Limbo was up to at the Gate, and it's not good." The King of the Franks said,
Kagekiyo looks at the Saber, "Spit it out, King of the Franks." The Avenger said, not wanting to play any games.
"Uncle Charlie, what did you see?" Harry asked his Uncle, curious about what was waiting for them at the Gate.
Charlie straightened up, unsure how to explain what was happening at the Build Section Gate. "It's best that you guys have to see it for yourselves." He said, causing everyone to look at each other.
Build Section Gate
At the peak of the Repair Section was a Temple acting as a disguise for the Build Section Gate. Much like how the Repair Section resembles Fuyuki City Japan,
The Build Section Gate took the form of Ryuudou Temple, however, this version was altered to someone's liking. A place where the Battle to the Death takes place,
It was a fiery Hellscape where magma flowed and the Sun was black. The Temple itself was in ruins and burnings,
(Insert 【FGO】Lostbelt 5.5 (Hell Realm's Mandala - Heian-kyō) - Deathmatch Battle BGM)
The group of many Servants and three members of the Fujimaru Family stood before the foot of the Firey Temple.
"This place…" Harry steps forward, recognizing this place. Though the coordinates were wrong, it is still Ryuudou Temple regardless if it's a replica or not. "It's Ryuudou Temple from Fuyuki."
Sirius looked at the Temple, visiting it time from time with Akari. To see it in a Hellish state didn't sit well with him. "W-What happened to it? It looks like the definition of Hell itself…" The Wizard said as the Comms went on.
-ZZZ- U-Um, miss Mashu…. -ZZZ- Mable came on through the Comms. -ZZZ- There's a Magical Energy Signature right before you at the Gate. Class, Alter Ego. -ZZZ-
-ZZZ- Careful everyone, the Enemy Servant you face…it's Limbo, Ashyia Douman. -ZZZ- Gusion added, reading the Data from his end.
The Malignant Incarnation, the Beautiful Carnivore, One of the Seven Representatives
Alter Ego: Ashyia Douman
Everyone looked up, seeing the black and white-haired Alter Ego. He bows, greeting everyone who made it to his Gate. "Hmmm…welcome all to my humble abode. Especially you, young master. I've been eagerly waiting for your arrival." He gave his usual malice-filled smile.
Sirius nearly fainted; the one he and Remus met in Fuyuki's Hospital. The one who has a Dark Aura and malice covering every inch of his Body. "Y-You…you're Ashyia Douman the whole time!?" He asked; he should've expected someone with those elements to be a Dark Lord.
"Ah, we meet again, Lord Black." Ashyia's eyes turn to face him, feeling his eyes gazing at him. "Tell me, how's your time here in good ol Seraphix? Was it entertaining and educational about my dear master's Life?" He asked the shaggy-haired Wizard.
"I have nothing to say to a Dark Wizard such as yo-"
"Hmmm…hmmm…HHHHMMMMAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" The Alter Ego laughs, his claws covering his face at what Sirius called him. "Me!? A Dark Wizard, surely you jest Lord Black!" He laughs,
Sirius shutters at Ashyia's laugh, no matter how many times he hears it.
"Huh? What do you mean, Limbo?" Nero asked, looking up at the Alter Ego. "You don't have any relation to the Wizards?" The Roman Emperor continued, wondering what his answer.
Ashyia's laughing fit soon ended as he answered the Saber and the others. "Oh I do, but not the one you all might think." He said,
"Care to elaborate, Limbo?" Andersen asked, raising his brow at him.
"Certainly, back when I was alive during the Heian Period, I was simply doing my duty as an Onmyoji. Expelling Oni and Ayakashi, only to gain some notable attention from Wizards who went exploring distant lands," Ashyia explains to the group. "(Note: this is before the Mundane Westerners came.) They saw me perform some Onmyoudou and well, you get the picture."
Mashu nodded, understanding the mishap. "I see, so because of your Onmyoudou the Wizards then considered it as Dark Magic in their case." She said, putting the pictures together.
"Making you a Dark Lord in the eyes of Wizard History," Karna said, also understanding the clear picture now.
The Alter Ego shrugs at what they say. "I don't care either way, to be honest, the Wizards aren't my concern unless it threatens my master and his Family," Ashyia said before adding one thing. "If you want to know who's heavily involved with Wizard History, then you should ask none other than Count Cagliostro." He stated, pointing to who they should ask.
"History can be vague at times, I wonder what Professor Binns would say-(Wait, never mind that Ghost only speaks about the Goblin Rebellions.)" Sirius said before shaking his head. "Regardless of what was in History or not, the fact remains that you use your Onmyoudou for the wrong reasons. Especially when you were combined with Evil Gods and Spirit."
Mashu held back her Father-in-Law, not wanting him to get caught in Limbo's snare. "Black-san, that's enough. You don't want to continue playing around with Limbo-san." The Shielder stated,
Ashyia smiles, looking like he's enjoying this charade. "Ah, as much as I want to continue with this talk. There's something I must do…" The Alter Ego spoke, looking at a certain black-haired Boy.
Mashu's eyes widen realizing where Douman was looking at. "HARRY-KUN!" Her Body moves forward, using her Shield to protect her Son from the Alter Ego's Attack.
"Alright everyone, let's get to work!" Nero said, dashing forward with her Flaming Sword in her hands. "I'll take the lead in this one,"
"Ha, very well!" Duryodhana moves his Mace back as he follows Nero. "Then I'll be your Vanguard; Karna with me!" The Berserker called out to his trusted Ally.
Karna nodded, taking to the air and following the other two to Douman.
Vlad III (Extra) grins, spinning his Spear. "Charlie, Lip, we'll take the right. It'll be a two-way strike!" The Lord of Impalement said, taking the right side of the Battlefield.
"Hai, hai, I trust your judgment, Lord Vlad," Charlie added, following the Lancer with Joyeuse in his hand.
"Um, right, I can do this." Passionlip looks back at Harry, being protected by his Mother and Sirius. "You'll be safe here, Little master. I'll be back." The Alter Ego said, going off to aid with the Attack.
Aria readied her Talismans to support the main Fighters. "I'll lend my support to you all," She said, tossing her Talismans to give some Buffs to everyone.
Andersen opened his book, beginning to write the events for later. "Alright you two, you'll be on protection duty here." The Author said to the remaining Servants.
Kagekiyo nodded, drawing her Swords. "Very well, I'll protect the young master. Right, Hassan?" The Avenger asked the Assassin next to her.
Shining Star nodded, taking out his Sickles. His eyes looked down at Harry, "Young master, observe and watch the Battle. You're the master now." The Assassin stated,
Harry nodded, hearing what the Servant said. "I understand, Shining Star." He said, observing the Battle between them and the Alter Ego. "Everyone, spread out, Attack Limbo at all sides!" He said, taking Command.
"Mom, Kagekiyo, Shining Star, can you be the backup in case things go south here?" The black-haired Boy asked, receiving a nod from his Mother.
"Yes, Harry-kun. That does sound like a good plan." Mashu said, proud that Harry had taken what he'd learned from the previous Sections in this Battle.
Sirius was also impressed by Harry's quick response to the situation. "Nice job there, Pup. I'm sure your Father will be impressed too." He said, knowing that Ritsuka would be happy too.
Harry smiles at the compliments before focusing on the Battle.
Ashyia Douman grins, raising his claws at Harry who's acting like a master. "Yes, yes, young master! Let's see what you can do when you're pivoted against me!" He exclaims, seeing the Servants disburse.
"Sei!" Nero leaps in, thrusting her Sword at Douman.
The Alter Ego merely chuckles, dodging to the side, and tossed his Shikigami in the air. "Ora!"
"Hup!" Duryodhana was in the air, bringing down his Mace at the Enemy. However, the Shikigami blocked the Attack as he was thrown to Nero. "GAH!" The Two fell to the side as Charlie leaps over them.
Charlie, receiving an Attack Boost from Aria jumps in. "Hey Douman, try to dodge this!" The King of the Franks slashes his Sword at Ashyia as he dodges the Attacks,
"Lord Vlad, now!" Harry cried out, seeing an opening to Attack,
"AHAHAHAHAHA!" Vlad III (Extra) came from the side, thrusting his Spear at him as well.
Both Vlad and Charlie exchanged, switching back and forth between strikes at the Alter Ego.
Sirius turns to Harry, impressed by how he's taking charge of this Battle. "Nice call there, Pup! You got some talent for this!" The shaggy-haired Wizard commented,
Harry smiles, looking at his Grandfather/Godfather. "Thanks, Uncle Sirius. Now, let's end this!" He said, hearing Douman laughing in the distance.
"Harry-kun, don't lose focus now," Mashu said, standing beside him, causing him to nod and return his attention to the Battle.
"Hmmm! Now this is very entertaining indeed! Young master, you really are shining here! Let me see more!" Ashyia said, feeling Passionlip's presence behind her.
"HA!" Passionlip raises her two gigantic Claws, slamming them onto the ground as the three Servants dodge it. "He's in the air, Karna do it!" The Alter Ego of Love/Hate cried out to the Hero of Charity.
Ashyia was in the air after dodging Passionlip's secret Attack. "Hmm? Oh, there you are-" The Alter Ego was thrust back to the ground by Karna, diving in with his Spear straight at him.
Sirius watched in amazement at the Teamwork the Servants were showing. Despite being from different origins and alignments, they worked on each others' strengths. "Amazing, everyone is working together."
Harry continued watching the fight for anything out of sorts. Both Nero and Duryodhana stood up, ready to head back into Battle. "Nero, Duryodhana, are you two alright?" He asked before looking at Aria. "Aria, I need your Healing Talismans." He said,
"Hai, I got it handled Harry-sama." Aria tosses her Talismans at the two, Healing both the Saber and the Berserker.
Duryodhana got up, feeling the Healing had taken place. He smiles, flexing his arm. "Thanks a lot, now I can go all out!" The Berserker stated,
"Umu, thank you, young Prince!" Nero said, getting up as well to rejoin the Battle. "Duryodhana, let's go!" She rushed forward, lifting her Sword.
"Thought you never asked!" Duryodhana joined Nero, both leaping in the air as Charlie, Passionlip, and Vlad leap back.
The two Servants descend, Duryodhana came first slamming his Mace on the ground. "Tch, no wonder master has trouble with you. You're a slippery bastard, aren't you?" The Berserker said, glaring at the Alter Ego.
"My, how thoughtful you to say about me, Duryodhana!" Ashiya said, sending a Shikigami at his way,
Duryodhana blocked that Attack, allowing Charlie and Nero to jump behind him. "Ha!" The two Sabers slashed at the Alter Ego, dragging him down.
Harry saw an opening, causing him to proceed with what he saw. "Passionlip!" He cried out,
"Hai!" Passionlip launched her fist, propelling through the air. They punched Douman multiple times before having Karna leap in by a second.
"Brahmastra!" Karna thrust his flaming Spear, pushing Douman to the ground.
Karna, rising from the dust stood above Limbo. His Golden Spear was at the Alter Ego's chest. "End this farce, Limbo. It matters not if you're doing this for the young master's sake or master's sake." The Son of the Surya stated, "There's no way you can fight all of us here."
Everyone stood behind Karna as he spoke to him.
"Heh…heh…hehahahahahahaha! Me? Stopping my Trial? Oh no, no, no, no, Son of the Sun God. This must continue," Ashyia stated, smiling at the Lancer and the others. "Clearly you all don't understand, this is exactly where I wanted things to be!"
Ashyia Douman looked up at the Digital Sun. "Time to wake up, Lord Akimitsu!" He cried out as the Sun above them became black.
"W-Why is it getting darker- AND WHY IS THE SUN BECOMING BLACK!?" Sirius exclaims, seeing the Dark Sun as it was a bad omen in many cultures.
Mashu prepared her Shield, knowing what was coming. "It's Limbo-san's Noble Phantasm! Everyone get behind me, now!" The Shielder said, readying her own Noble Phantasm.
"W-Wait, Mashu you can't seriously think you can defend against whatever Attack this is!?" Sirius asked, believing nothing could defend against Limbo's Attack.
Douman disappeared once he activated his Noble Phantasm. He appeared in the Sky, right in front of the Dark Sun inside of Safu.
"Come to me, mantle of black! Here, the Sun shall be born anew!"
"Tch, everyone, get down!" Charlie cried out as everyone took cover from the Noble Phantasm.
Ashyia Douman grins, interlocking his hands about to release his True Name.
"Mad Maelstrom - Akuryou Safu!"
The Dark Sun opened a mouth, releasing Curses down below. "Fufufuhahahaha!"
Mashu activated her Skills, protecting everyone who was behind her. "Ngh…NAAAAAAAAAAHHH!" She held her Shield down, not wavering in the pressure of the Curses.
"MOM!" Harry cried out, seeing the strain from protecting them.
Mashu smiles, not wanting to make her Son worry about her. "D-Don't worry about me, Harry-kun." She spoke in a gentle tone, "It's a Mother's job to protect her Child." She said, feeling the pressure from Ashyia's Noble Phantasm ceased.
"Ah," Mashu fell to her knees, having her Father-in-Law hold her in his hands.
"Easy there, Mashu. You need to rest after holding out against Ashyia Douman's Attack." Sirius said, impressed by Mashu's determination to protect others.
Harry looked at his Mother, completely tired after holding back the Noble Phantasm. "Mom…" He then turned to the Battlefield, hearing laughter from the Alter Ego.
Standing above the fallen Servants, Ashyia Douman was in a laughing fit. He held his claws at the young master, smirking at him. "My, my, what a strong resolve you have young master. However, even if you possess those traits during the Battle; what about when the Battle is turned." The Alter Ego stated, rejoicing at his accomplishment.
"What the Hell does that even mean? What is your gain here, Ashyia Douman!?" Harry asked, unable to understand the motives behind Limbo's sentence.
"Why you asked? Well, my young master. It's to make you into a greater master!" Douman stated, raising his hands in joy. "What master is doing, teaching you and having you exposed to our World is good. However, he didn't include the negative side of the title."
Ashyia Douman smiles down at Harry, "As such, as your strongest supporter, young master. It's my duty to rectify my master's mishap and pick up where he discarded that lesson." The Alter said as he raised his claws at the young Boy. "Now, my Boy, shall we continue our Battle? The Battle of your resolve over Resentment?"
