Ch 64 Trials of the Anti-Sussession Faction

Flashback

It's been a strange week since Constantine and Jeanne mentioned that master and Mashu have adopted a Son. His Name keeps ringing in my head, Harry James Potter…

'Harry James Potter…Harry James Potter…Harry…James…Potter…' Those simple Names were foreign to him yet somewhat nostalgic.

"My King," Charlie was brought back from his train of thought by his Paladin. He looks at Bradamante seemingly finished with her patrol with the other Servants and Chaldean Soldiers.

The blonde Lancer gave a complex expression upon seeing him. "You're not acting your usual self today, is everything alright your Majesty?" Bradamante asked the Saber one last time.

Charlie nodded, putting up a reassuring smile. "Of course, I'm cool as ever Brad!" The Saber said, obviously not wanting to make her worried about him. "I'm just…happy that master and Mashu adopted a Child. Having a Child to raise is always what they wanted."

Bradamante nodded, agreeing with her King all the way. "Yeah, it's great but I do worry though…" The Paladin looks over to Arturia Alter, Jaque De Molay (Foreigner), and Salome. "There are those who are against the idea of master and Mashu having a Child."

The King of the Franks blinks, turning to the Servants whom Bradamante was staring at. "Really? But the Boy is still a Boy; are they worried that he'll take over right away?" Charlie asked, finding it ridiculous.

"Yes, ridiculous!" Bradamante crossed her arms, closing her eyes with disappointment. "Ever since the Chaldean wide announcement, the Servants is now divided into three Faction now. Something about devising a Trial of some sort..." The Lancer stated, informing her King about the current events in their Home.

Charlie sighs, seeing this outcome coming. There are indeed Servants who are extremely dedicated to their master, the thought of their master being replaced is like him retiring. "I swear, that's got to be one of the un-coolest things they ever do." The Saber said.

Bradamante wholeheartedly agrees with Charlemagne. "Yes, the Succession Faction, Neutral Faction, and the Anti-Succession Faction." The Paladin of the White Flower said, telling what was going on among the Servants. "A-Chan, Roland, and I all sided with the Succession Faction. Almost everyone here is on either the Succession or Neutral Faction."

Charlie nodded, understanding the events. "Well, consider me a part of the Succession Faction, Brad!" He smiles before looking around. "Hey, Brad, if anyone asks for me. Tell them I'll be at the Command Center. I'm just checking the Chaldean Records for a moment."

"Checking the Chaldean Records? My King, what are you looking for in the Records?" Bradamante asked the King of the Franks, watching him heading to the Command Center.

Charlie looks back, smiling at his Paladin. "Just a little research," He said, wanting to know the Child of their master's background before meeting him. "Something about his Name seems…strangle familiar." He said,

End of Flashback

Charlie sighs, walking closely to Sirius as he remembers the first time he started to recollect his Body's Memories. His eyes were on his Adopted Son, taking what was going around him.

"Say, Sirius. How are you doing? I'm sure that finding out your Son/my master is almost your Age and in charge of an important Organization will give you the shock of your Life," Charlie said, looking at the shaggy-haired Man. It was only them for the moment, Vlad III (Extra) was keeping a close eye on Kiara.

Sirius looks around before turning to his Adopted Father and answered him. "Me? Oh, I'm doing just peachy. I'm just getting used to the idea that there are other forms of Magic than the one I'd known and- oh! Right, the fact that Sci-Fi things such as this Digital…place and the fact you're some kind vessel for an Ancient Hero." The shaggy-haired Wizard said, having a lot to process now than before.

"Ah, I see…" Charlie said, scratching the back of his head.

"In all honesty, I'm still processing everything despite being shown a lot after reuniting with my Son," Sirius said, looking back at the Window to the outside. "At first I dislike the idea that my Son is in charge of a big organization when he's…I'd like to say Sixteen? But I know something has happened to the World that caused him to Age regularly while we stayed the same." He said, telling his Adopted Father how he feels.

"But…" Charlie looks at Sirius, giving him the chance to speak.

"But, I can tell by how he is being addressed and how he easily goes with the flow with everything. He's the only Person who can do it, and maybe the only Person who can do what he does." Sirius added that, can't help but think maybe because of his actions have led his Son to this path.

"My actions before; going after Peter for telling Voldemort about where James and Lily are. Do you think if I didn't suggest Peter to be James's Secret Keeper and remained as their Keeper then would the situation with Ritsuka and Akari would change?" Sirius asked his Adopted Father, having this question for the longest time.

Charlie to a moment to think about what Sirius said, and he smiled at the question. Many Servants have thought of what would happen if master had a normal Life, though some experienced it in Id. It's still not the real deal, "Your question has been asked a lot before, Sirius."

Sirius's eyes widen, turning to the Saber with shocked eyes. "Really? Was it those Adults around or was it his Servants?" He asked, wondering who said that.

"Including me," Charlie sighs, looking at Sirius. "Looks, Sirius, regardless of what you did in the Past, it wouldn't change the fact that master/your Son would encounter Chaldea regardless of what would happen." The Pseudo-Servant said, "It's Fate that Ritsuka was meant to be the master of Chaldea no matter how he's brought up."

Charlie looks at Sirius, saying something that even Ritsuka doesn't even know. "Sirius, keep this between us, but most Servants here have memories of other Timelines." The Saber explains to the Wizard.

"Other Timelines?" Sirius has no idea what Charlie is talking about. However, he decided not to pursue it. "So, what happened in those Timelines?" He asked the Saber Servant.

"In those Timelines, whether being it Gender, a different background, or an entirely different Person. Each Timeline has its own Ritsuka Fujimaru and they become the master/director of Chaldea ." Charlie stated, looking at Sirius with seriousness. "It's his destiny."

Sirius nodded, understanding a bit what the King of the Franks was saying. "Fate, huh…others might see it as a coincidence. But I do understand what you mean Charlie." The shaggy-haired Wizard said, smiling at the memory of his Son. "Ritsuka is really special,"

The two continued to walk around the Hub, feeling relaxed now that they were in a Neutral area. Even if it's run by the most depraved Person around, it's still relaxing.

"Say, Sirius after the whole Pseudo-Singularity is resolved and master teaches BB a thing or two. Are you considering continuing traveling with master and the others?" Charlie asked the Wizard if he still wanted to come with Ritsuka.

Sirius thought for a moment, as much as he wanted to make up for lost time. He could see that Ritsuka was now a capable Adult and had Harry to look after and raise now. "I-"

The two stopped, seeing Mashu standing at the entrance of the Church. She immediately bolted outside.

"What's going on there." The Son of the Black Family asked curiously.

They watched as Mashu left through the door, revealing a group of Servants and one surprising addition. "Harry!" Sirius exclaims, rushing over to his Godson/Grandson, happy to see him safe and more importantly alive.

Harry looks forward, smiling at Sirius rushing over to him. "Uncle Sirius! Uncle Charlie!" The young Boy greeted his Uncles.

"Pup, I thought we were going to head out and find you and Ritsuka!" Sirius knelt down, hugging his Godson/Grandson. "I didn't expect that you would come to us." The Wizard said.

"Heya Kiddo, nice job getting here," Charlie said, ruffling his hair and praising him for a good job. "Speaking of which, where did Mashu go just a moment ago?" He asked the next master of Chaldea.

Harry opened his mouth, about to answer his Uncles. "Lady Mashu went with Nero to assist Shining Star against Kagekiyo's Battle," Andersen said, looking up at Sirius and walking up to him. "You must be Sirius Black, Father of our master. I am Caster, but call me Andersen."

Sirius shook his head, not expecting such a deep voice to come from someone looking around Harry's Age. "O-Oh, nice to meet you, Mr. Andersen. I wasn't expecting that you have a deep voice for a small Kid." The Wizard said, looking at Andersen.

The blue-haired Caster huffs, glaring at Sirius. "I'll have you know that I'm an Adult Man. My Summoning just made me into this form." Andersen stated, getting used to the opening statement. "Regardless, I heard that many times that it doesn't affect me anymore. Instead, did that Woman do anything towards you?"

Sirius asked, unsure what the Fairytale meant. "Woman? Isn't that a bit rude?" He asked.

"Ara? Ara, ara, I knew I heard the door open." Every Servant flinched, Harry remained vigilant already knowing who this Person was, even if she was dressed as a Nun.

"Kiara," Sirius greeted the Person in charge of the Church.

Charlie stood by Sirius's side as the Servants prepared themselves against the Beast of Pleasure.

Karna and Aria stood close to Harry, also aware of what the Alter Ego/Beast was capable of. "Ara, so defensive…" Kiara said, folding her arms with one resting on her cheek. "I take it you all told the young master of yours truly?" She asked as Vlad III (Extra) came behind her.

"Yes," Andersen steps forward, glaring at his former master in another Grail War. "You know very well Children are off-limits. Especially the one who will inherit all of Chaldea." The Caster stated,

Kiara merely smiled, looking at Harry who simply stared at him. "If you want to be useful to us then get us some refreshments. We've traveled Hell just to get here, at least you can offer something when we get here."

"Sharped-tongued as ever, eh, Andersen," Kiara commented, causing the Servants and the two to tense up. However, what they were expecting was something unexpected. "Of course, I'll get something a Child might like," Kiara said, looking at Harry.

The Alter Ego smiles, asking Harry what he wants. "Young master, do you happen to like Lemonade?" The Beast of Pleasure asked the Heir of Chaldea.

Harry nodded slightly, answering her question. "Y-Yes please." He said he could really a glass of Lemonade after walking such a distance.

"I'll be right back…" Kiara said with a cunning voice, turning around and heading to the Kitchen. Her voice sounded mischievous if anything.

"Well, that doesn't sound suspicious at all," Sirius commented, still unsure if Kiara could be trusted.

Vlad III (Extra) sighs, looking at Harry for a proper greeting. "Forgive for my late introduction, young Lord. I am Lancer, my True Name is Vlad Tepes III." The Lancer introduced himself to the young master. "I was present in Briefing Room Two prior the Rayshift to Seraphix."

Harry's eyes widen, realizing that this must be a different Vlad III than the one he met in France. "Nice to meet you, Lord Vlad-wait, going by your True Name? Isn't that against protocols?" He asked, looking at Sirius who was standing by.

"Hmm? Is something wrong, Pup?" Sirius asked, seeing Harry's panicked expression.

Karna who simply observed the situation answered Harry's worries. He looks at both Vlad III (Extra) and Charlie. "I take it you two have told Lord Black about us? Considering the situation, it's understandable." The Lancer said,

Vlad III (Extra) nodded, looking at the Son of the Sun God. "Yes, it's only right to tell him after being dragged into this Pseudo-Singularity." The Impaler said, "Also, I believe it only right that we should drop the Protocols to make it easier for master's Father to address us."

Charlie grins, crossing his arms. "It's much better than calling us by our Class Names. Right, Sirius?" The Pseudo-Servant said,

Sirius nodded, looking at his Adopted Father. "Yeah, I'm still getting used to the idea of you guys being Heroes of the Past. Anyway, I'm sure you're tired after making your way here Harry." The Wizard said, shifting his Body and placing his hand on his Godson/Grandson's shoulders.

Harry just nodded, really needing that drink. "Yeah, okay Uncle Sirius." He said, looking back at the doorway, where he could hear explosions in the background.

After being taken to the Kitchen, Kiara (After being checked by Andersen and Aria) gave him a glass of Lemonade on the table.

Harry took the glass, looking up at the Alter Ego. "Thank you," He thanked the Beast of Pleasure, despite knowing the tricks she might be up to.

"It's my pleasure, my dear Boy," Kiara said, giving a questionable expression. "Know that as long as you're here, BB nor her Sentinels will harm you." The Alter Ego said, returning to her duties around the Hub.

Harry carefully drinks the Lemonade, tasting like regular Lemonade. He thanked any Divine Spirit within Chaldea.

"Are you okay, Harry-sama?" Aria asked the black-haired Boy, "Do you feel anything wrong?" The Rider continued, wanting to make sure her master was alright.

"Yes, I'm feeling alright, Aria," Harry responded, placing the glass on the table.

Aria smiles, sitting quietly next to her master while Karna stands guard along with Charlie and Vlad III (Extra) near the wall. As for Andersen, he went along with Kiara to keep a closer eye on her.

Sirius looks at Aria, hearing her address his God/Grandson as 'Sama'. This lead him to assume that he became what the Servants addressed him as master, much like his Son. "So, Harry I take it that…Aria was it? Is your Servant?" He asked, observing Harry and Aria,

Harry wasn't paying attention to Sirius, his mind was on whatever his Mother was up to. He couldn't help but think if he should've gone with her.

However, Mashu told him not to go, "Harry-kun, I'd like you to stay here while I handle Kagekiyo-san and help Shining Star-san." Memory Mashu said to him, not wanting Harry to go out again with so many Ais around. "I'll be back before you know it, Harry-kun."

That was the last thing Mashu told him before going out and dealing with the Battle between the Assassin and Avenger. "Hmm?" Harry looks at his Uncle/Grandfather, just catching what he said. "Sorry, I didn't hear you, Uncle Sirius…what did you say?" Harry asked.

Sirius could immediately tell that Harry was worried about his Mother. He leaned over the table and asked him about it. "You're worried about your Mother, right?" The Wizard asked him,

"Y-Yeah…I feel like I should go and help her against Kagekiyo." Harry said, admitting to Sirius,

The shaggy-haired Man's eyes widen, hearing the Name of the Servant whom Mashu went to face. "I-I'm sorry, but did you say Kagekiyo? As in Tiara-no-Kagekiyo?" Sirius asked his Godson/Grandson.

Harry merely nodded, confirming what he asked. "Yeah, that's exactly what you're thinking…"

"Tiara-no-Kagekiyo," Sirius said, knowing the Name. "As in THE Tiara-no-Kagekiyo: Kazusa-no-Shichio was a samurai of the Taira Clan who took part in the Genpei War of Japan, against the Minamoto Clan," Sirius said, knowing Japanese History from his time at his Highschool. He leans back, chuckling at who his Godson/Grandson mentioned. "Are you certain that Tiara-no-Kagekiyo was the who Mashu is fighting?" He asked, knowing the Tales about him. (Only if he knew)

"Yes," Karna confirms what Sirius said, "Mashu is capable of defeating the Avenger. She has experienced how to defeat an Avenger Class Servant," The Son of Surya said, trusting Mashu.

"Avenger, an Extra Class filled with vengeance and resentment," Harry said, meeting Avengers before such as Jalter, Dantes, Salieri, Nitocris Alter, and Count of Monte Cristo. But they were his Allies, not Enemies.

Sirius shutters at the mention and description of the Avenger Class. "So they're powerful huh…now I'm worried for Mashu." He said, "I know she can handle herself, ever since Russia. But from what you told me, these Avengers are strong-er wait, isn't there a Comic book series called The Avengers?" He asked,

"Totally different things." Charlie said, "But I understand your worries, but don't fret. Mashu will prevail, like whenever a strong Opponent appears." The Saber said, hearing the front door of the Church open.

Everyone turned their attention to the opening of the door, causing them to stand from their seats. "It seems that the Battle with Kagekiyo has ended," Karna commented,

Harry quickly ran over to the main entrance of the Hub, wanting to see if his Mother, Nero, or Hassan of the Shining Star was alright. "Harry wait!" Sirius reached out for his Godson/Grandson, only to see him run into the Halls.

Vlad III (Extra) chuckles, watching as the young master left in a hurry. "The young master is certainly worried for his Mother and the others." The Lancer commented, turning to his fellow Lancer. "Karna, let's make sure he doesn't hurt himself in the process."

"If Harry-sama gets hurt, I can always heal him with my Talismans." Tamamo Aria said, ready to follow her master out of the door.

"Whatever you all do, let's go. I want to make sure that my Daughter-in-Law is unharmed and alright." Sirius said, making a good point with his sentence.

Everyone nodded, following Harry's lead, and went to see Mashu at the entrance of the Hub.

Harry quickly entered the Church's main Hall where he saw his Mother walking inside with Shining Star and Nero beside her. "Mom!" He smiled, walking up to the former Demi-Servant.

Sirius and the others walked in, seeing Harry running up and hugging Mashu. They all smiled at the wholesome sight.

Mashu hugged her Son, comforting him as his embrace got tighter. 'He must be really worried about me and the others.' She thought before speaking. "Harry-kun, everything is alright now. We've managed to settle things with Kagekiyo-san." She said, informing him what happened.

"Y-You did?" Harry sniffs, looking up at his Mother.

"Umu, we sure did!" Nero steps in, giving a bit of cheer to Harry. "Not only that…we'll let her say it with her own voice." The Roman Emperor moves aside,

Harry looked and saw Kagekiyo standing behind the three, not drawing her Swords. "K-Kagekiyo?" He asked, wondering if she was not going to Attack.

Sirius's eyes widen, seeing the black-haired Avenger. "T-That's Tiara-no-Kagekiyo? B-But he's a she! What the bloody Hell is going on!?" He asked, not expecting the feared and Legendary Genji Killer to be a Woman. "HOW IN THE WORLD IS TIARA-NO-KAGEKIYO'S A WOMAN!?" He asked,

Charlie merely chuckles, patting his Adopted Son's back. "Welcome to Chaldea, Sirius. The best I could do is to say…don't question it." The King of the Franks advised him.

Harry looks at the Genji Killer straight at her blinded folded eyes. Her lips remained the cold un-shifted frown before opening them. "Such a young and innocent Child…" Kagekiyo sighs, looking at Mashu and the others.

Kagekiyo returned her gaze to Harry's face, baring a striking resemblance to her own master. "Young master, do you truly want to shoulder the duties and face suffering as the next Chaldean master?" She asked, wanting to hear his answer.

Harry thought for a moment, thinking over what the Avenger said. "I-I may not know what it means to be a Chaldean master. B-But, I'm willing to learn how and-"

"That is not what I'm asking…" Kagekiyo interrupted before explaining her question. "I'm asking if you are truly worthy to face the Trials that the Anti-Succession Faction devised for you. You may have faced the Scorn of being the Heir of Chaldea with the Smoking Mirror. I and many others have their reasons for joining the Anti-Sussession Faction, however, four you need to overcome."

"Young master, are you ready to face the Resentment, the Malice, and the Despair that comes with the title of master of Chaldea? The Trials to earn your place and respect of the Anti-Succession Faction?" Kagekiyo asked, giving Harry a hint of what he has to do.

Harry heard the Trials what Kagekiyo said, he looked up and gave her his answer…

AN: How do you like it? After reading Ordeal Call, it gave me an idea about this arc. Remember this story is something out of a whim and not planned. Anyways the Trials Harry is now roped into goes like this. There are two more Servants left in the trial in the Anti-Succession Faction. Feel free to guess who they are.

Scorn- Tezcatlipoca

Resentment- BB

Malice-

Despair-
