Ch 44 The Heir of Chaldea Pt 3
Tezcatlipoca chuckles, seeing that the Original Grand Assassin has sided with the Boy. "Man, out of all situations you have to show up." The Second Grand Assassin said, not wanting to deal with his predecessor.
King Hassan only stares at the God of the Night, still prostrating his Sword. "Smoking Mirror, thou hast ignore the Child's resolve of defeating thou." The Grand Assassin spoke, eyeing the young master standing behind him. "As such, I shall lend my own Blade to rectify thine ignorance." He said, holding up his Sword.
"Tch, since you're here already why not do what discussed before, eh Old Man?" Tezcatlipoca suggested to the First Grand Assassin. "Nothing better than a Battle between two Grand Servants." The Divine Spirit smiles, looking at Harry waiting for him to proceed.
"Very well, thou hast piqued my interest. For the victor claims victorious, then the Child blessed by the Evening Bell shall solidify his place as Heir." The First Hassan accepted the challenge made by the Aztec God.
King Hassan gazed over to his Temporary master, "Child of my Contractor, thou shall leave Smoking Mirror to me." He said to Tezcatlipoca, awaiting commands from his master's Son.
Harry blinks before comprehending what happened. "Wait, you're the First Grand Assassin? I thought he was an Old Man before…" He trails off, the picture of the Grand Assassin in his head is completely different than the one he sees.
"That goes for show, you can't trust any word anyone says until you see it for yourself." Harry looks up at his Uncle, floating down to his side,
"U-Uncle, what are you doing here?" Harry asked the dark green-haired Lancer, curious why he was there.
Kingu scoffs, looking at his Nephew. "Obviously, to help you. I've been watching you, and the Old Man too I guess." The Lancer looks at the Grand Servant. "In any case, you have shown us that you can hold out on your own. For a Kid, I mean." He cleared his throat, turning away to hide his smile.
"S-So, consider this as a reward, Nephew," Kingu said, being now the Servant to protect Harry from the Assassin's tricks. "Now command the Old Man of the Mountain," He looks behind him, seeing a few Ocelomeh Warriors climbing to the top.
"Tch, this isn't your fight." Kingu held his hand, sending Chains to restrain the Lostbelt Soldiers.
Harry looks at King Hassan after his Uncle explains things to him. "Fou, Fou." Fou ushers him to proceed with the Front, believing he could claim victory against the Second Grand Assassin.
"Harry!"
Harry looks down at where the Servants are spectating the Grail Front. He saw both his Parents among them watching him,
Ritsuka smiles, looking at Harry with Kingu. "Gramps is all yours to Command, Hars. Show Tez what you can do!" He cheered, giving him moral support to his Son.
"You can do it, Harry-kun!" Mashu cheered, waving her hand at her Son. She smiled, seeing him trying his best up on the Ziggurat. "But do be careful up there! Make sure you're looking where you're stepping!"
"Beat that God's ass, Bud!" Billy the Kid exclaims, cheering for his success.
Ozymandias smirks, crossing his arms. "Do make your final stage of this fight more entertaining than it is, young master." He commented, already impressed by his Skills.
Harry smiles, hearing the cheers from the Servants who sided with him. Even Gilgamesh, nodding at what he had done so far, was giving his support.
He turns to Tezcatlipoca, waiting for Harry to make his move. "Well? It's your move, Kid. Show me what you have commanded the Assassin of all Assassins." The blonde God said, giving him the opening move.
Not hesitating one bit, Harry held out his hand to the Servant his Father lent him. "Hassan-i-Sa-"
"Child, thou shall address me as First Hassan or Gramps as I have grown accustomed to." King Hassan informed the young master, permitting him to address him however he liked.
Harry smiles, continuing with his orders already deciding how to address him. "Gramps, end this Grail Front!" He gave an order to his Temporary Servant
King Hassan's eyes flashed, raising his Sword. "Thou hast order it, I shall relay it." He walks forward, each step he takes, Flames erupt, leaving scorch marks on the bricks.
"Heh, not even holding back," Tezcatlipoca smirks, prepping his Pistol. "Alright then, let the final Battle commence!" He held his Pistol at the First Hassan,
Tezcatlipoca shot a barrage of special Bullets at the First Grand Assassin, "Thine projectiles shall not reach me." King Hassan slashed down at the Bullets, bursting into flames. The slash sounded like a Bell tolling, "If thou wish to duel me, melee combat is a reasonable choice."
The Second Grand Servant smirks, dismissing his Pistol and materializing his Axe. "Heh, alright." Tezcatlipoca chuckles, dashing forward in a black smoke.
Upon King Hassan's face, Tezcatlipoca raised his Axe bringing down it to the Grand Servant.
King Hassan raised his Sword, deflecting the Axe before slashing at the Aztec God.
"Woah! That was a close one there," Tezcatlipoca chuckles, stepping back from another slash from the First Hassan. He took a few steps back before rematerializing his Pistol to shoot a few more Bullets. "But can you dodge this?" He asked, releasing a barrage of Bullets.
The Assassin didn't react, only response to the Attack. He burst into flames, disappearing as the Bullets hit the ground.
"He's gone!" Harry exclaims, seeing King Hassan disappear.
Fou saw blue flames forming behind Tezcatlipoca. "Fou, Fou!" The Beast points behind the Assassin.
Tezcatlipoca turns around, seeing King Hassan raising his Blade. "Offer thy head!" With a single slash, the Divine Spirit reacted by deflecting it with his Axe and Pistol.
"Strip thine Weapons," King Hassan's eyes glowed, a burst of blue Fire in front of Tezcatlipoca as he knelt to the ground.
The Second Grand Assassin frowns, aiming his Pistol at his Predecessor. "Ngh!" He shot a barrage of Bullets at the First Hassan, however the Bullets themselves phase through his Flaming Body. "Damn, you're filled with tricks, Old Man."
"Thou didn't heed my words; thy projectiles are useless against me. The Will of Heaven seeks thine punishment." King Hassan walks forward, bursting into Flames as he disappears.
Tezcatlipoca stood up, searching around Ziggurat for the First Grand Assassin, "Tch, where is he now?" The God of the Night asked himself, before feeling a presence behind him.
"Thou hast lost this Front." Tezcatlipoca turns around, being blasted away from the blue Flames and onto the ground.
"GAH!" The blonde Divine Spirit landed on the ground, about to get up. However, King Hassan's Blade was at his neck, reading to cut it off.
King Hassan held his Sword at Tezcatlipoca's neck, indicating he had lost this Front. "Thou hast lost. If thou wish to continue, thine own head shall be the price for continuance." The Assassin stated, ushering him to give up.
Tezcatlipoca looks at Harry, no longer the shy Boy he'd had Camazotz kidnapped. He's a bit more like his master, something he'd been aiming for. "Fine, I can see where I lost." He said, dropping his Pistol to the bricks.
"Congrats, Little master. You've won the Grail Front," Tezcatlipoca smirks at Harry, giving him the win.
"I-I've won?" Harry asked, looking around the Servants if he was hearing Tezcatlipoca right.
"Indeed, Child of my Contractor. Thine valor hast been proven." King Hassan prostrate his Sword on the ground, eyeing the young master. "Thou hast proved to me as well. If thou ever need the Blade of Azrael, thou shall not hesitate to call my Name." He spoke before disappearing into Flames.
Harry was taken aback by the sudden disappearance of the First Grand Assassin. "Where did Gramps go? I thought he'd be walking down with us?" He asked as Tezcatlipoca stood up from the ground.
"The Old Man only shows himself when he is needed the most or-"
"When Dad calls for him," Harry said, seeing that King Hassan was that type of People.
Fou patted Harry's cheek, congratulating him for completing the Grail Front. "Fou, Fou." The Beast commented,
Kingu crossed his arms, looking down at his Nephew. "You know, at first I thought you were a weak feeble Human Child who hides behind Little Brother's back." The Lancer commented, "But it seems you've proven me wrong. Great job, Kid." He said, giving a snarky smirk.
Walking down from the Ziggurat's top, the Servants ceased combat and gathered at the foot of the Ruins. "Excelente, what a splendid Battle! Ah, Little master, you have made your Big Sis proud!" Quetzalcoatl cheered, coming in and grabbing Harry to lift him.
Harry giggles as he is hoisted up onto the Rider's shoulders. "Thank you, Big Sis!" He smiles as others approach him.
"I knew you could do it, young master." Nitocris, who reverted to her Original form applauded Harry over his victory.
Ereshkigal smiles, also applauding Harry for showing his valor before Tezcatlipoca. "Great job, young master!" The Lancer cheered,
Beni-Enma hops and cheers for Harry too. "You showed Tezcatlipoca a thing or two, young master!" The Yoakai commented, congratulating him on his victory.
"I must admit, I never thought that the Child would beat Tezcatlipoca," Tlaloc commented, seeing something rarely happened twice.
Izcalli scoffs, crossing his arms. "I'd say it's a fluke. There's no way the Great Tezcatlipoca would let
Zhou Yu smiles, nodding at Harry for earning his place as Heir of Chaldea. Even though he doesn't celebrate like the other Servants with him, he's still proud of his master.
Harry smiles, feeling like he has achieved something worthwhile. He smiles at the Servants cheering for him until he sees his Parents walking over to them. "Dad! Mom!" He greeted his Parents.
Mashu smiles, watching Quetzalcoatl place her Son to the ground. "You were amazing out there, Harry-kun! You looked like a master out there," She said as Harry ran up to them.
"You guys were watching me?" Harry asked his Parents.
"Of course, though we heard about it late. We saw the finishing act!" Mashu said, hugging her Son in a big hug.
Harry smiles before looking at his Father, approaching him as he reaches out to ruffle his hair. "Gotta admit there, Hars. You had me worried since you were a bit young to even do a Grail Front." Ritsuka said, looking down at his Son with pride. "But you've proved me wrong. Awesome Job." Ritsuka said,
Harry felt happy that he'd made his Father and Mother proud. Soon everyone gathered around giving him praise for his performance.
Later that night after Beni-Enma made a feast, Ritsuka watched as his Son slept on his bed inside their tent. Mashu was there, pulling up his blanket. He walks outside where Tezcatlipoca is standing outside, gazing up at the Stars. "You know, you've broken my orders there, Tez."
The Second Grand Assassin turns to his master, standing next to him. "Well, I need to be sure that you are raising him right," Tezcatlipoca said, knowing what he did. "Despite you showing him the wonders of Chaldea, you forget to introduce him to the World of Magecraft. And you know-"
"The Path of a Magus is a path to Death. I know, but I'm confident that Harry could handle himself in that field as you saw today." Ritsuka said, trusting his Son to follow his own path in the Magecraft World like he did before. "But enough of that, the real reason is-"
"Hai, hai, I know. So what kind of cruel punishment do you have in store for me, master." Tezcatlipoca accepted the consequences of intentionally disobeying Ritsuka's orders.
Ritsuka frowns, looking at the Second Grand Assassin. "Things are going quickly on the Church's side of things." The Magus explains to Tezcatlipoca what's happening in the Clocktower and the Church.
Tezcatlipoca looks at his master, "As expected from the Church, so, what did they now, master?" The Grand Assassin asked his master.
The Magus placed both his hands in his pocket, informing his Servant what the Church was doing. "The Church has established a Chapel in a Village stationed near Hogwarts. The Wizards believe it was for the Students who came from Christian Families and was built on their request where in reality-"
"The Church has posed as these 'Christian Families' and built a base to keep an eye on Hogwarts," Tezcatlipoca said, seeing a few minor errors in the Church's plan. "That's good and all, but won't the Wizards be wary of the sudden appearance of a Chapel considering their History with them?" He asked,
"That's what I thought too, but then I heard that the Church has entrusted someone who'll pose as a Hogwarts Student the coming Year," Ritsuka said, hearing about the Person from Kirei's connection. "He's known as the Puppeteer, Mario Gallo Bestino. A young Boy who is one of the many Grandsons of Cardinal Laurentis."
Tezcatlipoca nodded, understanding the situation. "So, what do you want me to do about it, master?" The God of the Night asked his master, curious what he had in mind.
"Nothing, this is how the Church operates. What I want you to do is to keep an eye on Harry during his time at Hogwarts, consider this as your punishment for opposing Harry." Ritsuka said, looking up at the Sky. "I know I may sound like an overprotective Parent, but I want my Son to make some Friends and enjoy his time as a Kid."
Tezcatlipoca chuckles, seeing the Human side of his master. Something he greatly respects as being a Man who witnessed the End of the World multiple times, "Alright, I'll consider this as a personal request instead of a Punishment, master."
Ritsuka smirks, turning around to his Family's tent to get some rest. "Thanks, Tez," He said, walking inside.
"Man…this second life gets more interesting each Day." Tezcatlipoca chuckles,
In the Morning, after saying goodbye to the Servants and Samuel stationed in South America, the Fujimarus, Fou, Zhou Yu, Koyanskaya, Oberon, Kingu, and Holmes, were walking through the greenery.
Harry held onto Oberon while Fou was sitting in his usual spot. "Dad, are we going to meet up with Professor M and Da Vinci?" He asked his Father, not calling him Dad feeling like it was right.
Ritsuka looks back, answering his Son's question. "In a way; yes we're going to meet up with Da Vinci and Moriarty. But we're going to the nearest Port Town first." The Magus explains to his Son.
"Why?" Harry asked, seeing that the Shadow Border can travel anywhere through Void Space. "Why we're going to a Port Town where we can go on the Shadow Border to go where we're going next."
Mashu smiles, answering her Son in Ritsuka's place. "Well, Harry-kun, a Friend of ours, Sion-san wanted to give another Vehicle of ours on a test run." She explains to her Son, giving a little dramatic rise for him to start guessing.
Harry's eyes perked up, hearing that they were going to use another Vehicle. "Another Vehicle? What is it?" He asked, already piqued his interest in Vehicles.
"Oho, seems like the young master is intrigued by our new means of transport," Holmes commented, following his master and the others behind.
Koyanskaya chuckles, crossing her arms. "I wonder what's his reaction to the Border and its crew," She commented, waiting for that moment.
"Oh…you mean that…" Zhou Yu was confused at first, but thanks to his Summoning he gained a decent amount of knowledge of what Chaldea does. "I haven't seen it myself, but I do hear that it's very unique."
Oberon nodded, "Yep, if I remember correctly from the Chaldean Records it damaged Tlaloc's Spirit Origins for a time." The Pretender commented, waiting to see the face of his master's Son.
"Do you guys know what we're taking to our next destination?" Harry looks back at the Servants who were snickering behind his back.
Kingu looks at his Nephew, "Just wait and see, Nephew." He said, fully aware of what Harry's interest is.
Harry gave a disappointed expression as he looked at his Parents. "Mom, Dad! Can you at least tell me what it is?" He asked, walking up to his Parents.
Ritsuka gave a small laugh, petting his Son's head. "Just a little longer Bud. I swear, it'll be worth the wait." He explains as they reach the main road.
Mashu looked down at the navigation, seeing that Port Town was just nearby. "The Port Town is just a few more clicks to the East. Soon we'll be there," She said as the group continued walking down the path.
Harry was getting eager, curious about what kind of Vehicle they were taking. Ever since he'd seen the Star Wars Movies, nothing made him more in awe than the Spaceships flying through Space got him so excited,
Soon enough, the group arrived at the Port Town where he saw many People living life. They were oblivious to them since they were paid off by Tez to keep quiet when Chaldea arrived.
"Harry," Harry looks up at his Father, hearing him call his Name. "You asked what kind of Vehicle we're taking instead of the Shadow Border to our next destination, well, take a look for yourself." He said, looking just ahead of them.
Harry looks before them, his eyes widen, and his mouth hangs open. Docked at the Port was a Ship, but not any kind of Ship. (Insert [FGO] Imaginary Scramble Event - Shop BGM)
It was long, white, and slender, with two large Engines at the rear, and a golden Battling ram at the front, He could see windows throughout the body of the Ship. He even saw the Bridge in the middle of this Ship.
Walking around and doing some rounds were Boys in Sailor Uniforms either loading the crates into the Ship's haul or checking the condition of said Ship.
"W-Woah…i-it's a-a-a SPACESHIP! AN ACTUAL SPACESHIP!" Harry exclaims, nearly dropping Oberon on the ground. He looks at his Parents, excited to see a real-life Spaceship, "You're telling me that we're going to travel on that Spaceship!?"
Koyanskaya, Holmes, Zhou Yu, Kingu, and Oberon laugh, expecting that reaction from the young master. "See? I knew that's how he's going to react." The Alter Ego said, looking at her fellow Servants.
"I believe you're right, Ms. Koyanskaya," Holmes added, looking at the joy on the Heir's face.
Oberon leaps out of Harry's arms, reverting to his original form. "The Kid's fascination with those Ships in the Movies influenced him," The Fairy King stated before thinking about another thing. "Just wait until he meets Mysterious Heroine X and Heroine X Alter."
"Fou, Fou," Fou added, sitting still on his shoulders.
Ritsuka smiles, showing Harry the Ship he was infatuated with the Border. He kneels next to him, explaining the Ship to him. "Hars, this here is the Dimensional Boundary Perforation Vessel, aka-"
"The Storm Border. A Ship that normally won't exist in our World until the next…hmm…I don't know about a thousand years or so." Harry looks forward, to seeing Da Vinci, Moriarty, and a Boy around his Age in a white Sailor outfit. Blue pants, black heel shoes, auburn hair that was fading into a dark blue.
On the Boy's head was a white turban with a feather on the top. "Hello and welcome to the Storm Border's test run, everyone." Da Vinci greeted them after a long separation. "Harry-kun, I can tell by your excitement that you are impressed by the Border's haul." She winks at him.
"Da Vinci, Professor! What are you doing here?" Harry asked the two Servants who he'd thought would be with the Shadow Border.
"Well, since you guys were heading to the Crystal Valley. It's only right for me and Ms. Da Vinci to take the Shadow Border to the rendezvous." Moriarty explains to his Pupil on where they've been. "Huh, you've grown a bit since I've seen you, young master." The Ruler said, observing the young Boy.
Mashu smiles at the two. "Well, things happened during the trip, Professor." The former Demi-Servant explains to the Crime Lord.
Moriarty nodded, seeing what she meant. "I see, well it looks good on you,"
Harry smiles back at his Mentor as the young Boy approaches him. "So this is the Boy you adopted, Fujimaru…" The Servant looks at Harry, judging his character. "Well, he seems to have his sea legs already. I don't give a tour to Children but you're a special case."
"I am the Captain of the Storm Border; you may call me Captain." The Captain spoke professionally.
Harry was taken aback by how a Boy around his Age was the Captain of the Storm Border. However, he'd learned that Chaldea is filled with Heroic Spirits that don't fit the bill of the ones in History books. "Oh, nice to meet you, Captain."
"Bud, this here is Captain Nemo. A Phantom Spirit that is infused with the Greek God of Sea Travel, Triton." Ritsuka explains to his Son who the Captain is. "He's not a Servant that's Contracted to me. We do some Missions together regarding Void Space, however-"
Nemo looks at Harry, continuing with the explanation. "My Contracted master is Sion; I'll leave the introductions for her when we get to the Wandering Sea." The Rider said, "But to make it brief, Sion is the current leading the Wandering Sea as we speak."
The black-haired Boy nodded, understanding that Nemo isn't his Father's Servant, (technically). He then took a step back, remembering how his Father told him his Name. "Captain Nemo? As in Prince Dakkar from Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea?" Harry asked, meeting another Servant based on a Novel.
"Huh, here I expect you to be like every other Child. But you're smarter as a Bottle Nose Dolphin, " Nemo commented, being proven wrong by the young Heir.
Harry smiles, taking what Nemo says as a compliment. "Um, thank you, Captain." He responded before Ritsuka spoke.
"Harry, we'll be stopping by Britain again at London's Clocktower. I have to clear something up with the Mages' Association regarding the Crystal Valley Incident." Ritsuka explains to his Son. "Your Uncle Lucius and Cousin Draco will be meeting us there. It'll be quick, but it gives you the time to spend time with him."
Harry looks perplexed, confused by what his Father said. "Mr. Animusphere and Draco are related to us, Dad?" He asked, just learning about it now.
"Ah…well, it's a bit complicated." Ritsuka chuckles, unsure how to explain their Family Lineage to him. "I'll explain it once we get moving."
"That's right, we have a schedule to keep," Nemo turns around to the Marines, "Marines, line up!"
The Marines look at the Main Nemo Unit, "Aye, aye, Captain!" The Marines responded to the Captain.
Nemo nodded, seeing his Marines were ready to depart. "Good, now show the young master around and get him accustomed to Storm Border, he's a part of the Crew." The Rider ordered the Marines.
"Yatta!" The Marines all gathered around Harry, being the same size as him, the young Boy was lost within the heard of Marines.
Harry looks around, unsure what to do as he is being swept away.
"Hey, hey, do you like badminton? We can play it in the wreak room!" Marine A asked the young Boy.
"Are you really a Wizard? If so, can we see your Wand?" Marine B asked, "We've never seen a Wizard before,"
"Oh wow, you look a lot like Fujimaru! Yatta, another Fujimaru Face!" Marine C cheered, comparing faces with the director of Chaldea.
"Do you want pudding? Baker has made some fresh ones in the Cafeteria!" Marine D said, adding to the many questions the Marines have.
"Hey, hey, I heard you know everything about Servants! How well do you know us Heroic Spirits?" Marine E asked Harry,
Harry was bombarded with so many questions that he didn't answer any of them. "U-Uh…um, Dad…Mom…a little help!" He asked as they dragged him into the Storm Border.
Ritsuka and Mashu along with the others blinked as Harry was swept away. "Well…at least we know that the Marines like Harry-kun," Mashu said, looking at Nemo.
"Yeah, which also means…" Ritsuka looks at Nemo who merely ignores his Temporary master.
"A-Ahem, time to depart to Britain! All aboard!" Nemo called out to the Chaldean Staff and remaining Marines as he scurried away. (End Song)
