Ch 54 The Beginning of the End Pt 5

Fourth Front

Ritsuka, Chat Noir, BB, and Charlie arrived at the Fourth Front, where Ryuko was commanding the Soldiers on her Front. "Seems like everyone is ready to face Sefar," Charlie commented, setting down just a few feet away from them.

Chat Noir nodded, seeing this Front was like the one they were at before. "Yeah, it's like the one with Koyanskaya and everyone else." The Hero of Destruction said, knowing the outcome of this.

"Fujimaru!" Ryuko approaches the master of Chaldea with her Sword in hand.

"Ryuko, what's the situation here?" Ritsuka asked the Hero of Perfection, wanting to know what was set up here.

BB, Charlie, and Chat Noir stood beside Ritsuka, listening to the bluenette Hero. "We've set up a defensive line, Koyanskaya has given my Soldiers her Weapons and Armory," Ryuko informed the group. "Based on Professor Moriarty's calculations, we have merely fifteen minutes at the Front to defend before it gets destroyed."

"Fifteen minutes…how much do we need before the Hume Barrel is ready?" Ritsuka asked the Border through their Comms,

Ginny came on, relaying the message from Sion and Holmes. -ZZZ- Da Vinci said we need at least a few more minutes, they're rerouting every Magical Energy reserve we've got to the Barrel. -ZZZ- The Witch informed the director of Chaldea.

"Fifteen minutes…that's not a lot of time," BB commented, hearing the footsteps of the Titian approach them. "And she's already on top of us. Great," The Moon Cancer groans,

Ryuko turns to the Front, raising her Sword. "Alright everyone, get to your places! The Enemy is here!" The Hero of Perfection announced to the Front.

Each and every Solider stationed at the Fourth Front cried out, their Weapons were aimed at the White Titian. They were waiting for the Enemy to get in range,

Chat Noir saw Moriarty directing the Soldiers where to set up good shooting views, "Professor, I have a question." The Hero of Destruction heads over to the Ruler Servant.

The former Apostle of the Alien World looks at the blond Hero. "What is it, Chat Noir?" Moriarty asked the young Hero.

"Professor, what are the odds of the Fronts succeeding against Sefar?" Chat Noir asked the Crime Lord before him.

Moriarty ponders for a moment, already having the calculations of the chances of succeeding. "It's hard to tell considering the many variables that could happen." The Ruler answered truthfully, "But to answer your question, about Forty Percent. If things are the same as it is, but-"

"It could change depending on what Sefar could do…" Chat Noir said, understanding the Math Professor well.

Soon the footsteps of Sefar became louder, indicating that she was on top of the Fourth Front. Looming over them, the Soldiers and the Chaldeans saw the White Titian already at the Front.

Moriarty turns to the Soldiers, signaling them to Attack. "Men, Women of Patricius, fire at the White Titian! Defend your Home!" The former Apostle ordered the Lostbelt Inhabitants to attack.

Everyone cried out, all firing at the single Enemy with the Weaponry Koyanskaya lent them. Though they're not affecting her as much as they like, they're still doing their job of holding Sefar down.

Chat Noir and Ritsuka look around, seeing that NFF Services provided to the Soldiers are the Premium ones. "Well, gotta hand it to Koyanskaya. She knows when and where Weapons are needed," Ritsuka commented, knowing his Secretary has a knack for trade and Warfare.

"Yeah, I can tell they're no mere Weapons." The Hero of Destruction commented, seeing the destructive power of each shot the Soldiers took.

The NFF Weaponry was holding the White Titian at the Front, however with Weaponry such as these will have its fallback.

One Soldier continuously shoots at Sefar, suddenly his Weapon begins to power down. She looks at her Gun, realizing that she has used up all her power, "Ah! My Gun has run out of power!" She exclaims,

"Mine too!" Another Soldier said, unable to continue firing.

Ritsuka saw that the Weapons Koyanskaya provided were running out of ammunition. "Come on, think…what do-hmm? Hime, what are you doing?" He looks at the Tamamo walking to Ryuko.

"Fujimaru-sama, there's only one option here." Tamamo Hime said, readying her Noble Phantasm. "Warriors of old, may the Sun God grant you protection." The Caster walks forward, holding Talismans in her hands.

"May the great Amaterasu bless your strength, for your valor is clear as Day" Tamamo Hime released her Talismans, spreading throughout the Front.

"Great Boundless Sunshine!" The Caster announced, blessing the entire Front with her Blessings.

Tamamo Hime released her Noble Phantasm, granting everyone protection and the Blessings of Amaterasu.

"W-What? Our Weapons…they're fully recharged!" One of the Resistance Soldiers exclaims, informing everyone of the sudden recharge of their Weaponry.

Ritsuka looks around, seeing every Soldier's Weapons ready to be used. "Your Noble Phantasm…did it grant everyone what they need?" The master of Chaldea asked the Caster Servant.

Chat Noir could hear the cheers from the Soldiers about their reloaded Weapons. He watched as they continued firing at the White Titian looming over them. "It's great that you were able to provide ammo, Caster. But can it really defeat Sefar?"

"No, I can't guarantee a victory over the White Titian. However, I can buy a bit more time to prepare the Plan." Tamamo Hime said, overseeing the Soldiers.

"Moriarty your insight?" Ritsuka asked the Crime Lord for his opinion.

Moriarty took a moment to observe the Battle. The White Titian's advance was halted by the onslaught of Bullets and rays once more. "It'll be another ten minutes before Sefar could continue her advance."

"Then we'll have to buy more time!" Ryuko drew her Sword, pouring everything into her Blade.

"Wait, Kagami," Chat saw what the Hero of Perfection was doing. "You can't go off and fight Sefar on your own!" The Hero of Destruction exclaims,

Charlie agreed with the blonde Hero, "I admit, your valor is honorable, Ryuko. But Chat Noir is correct." The Saber said, looking at the bluenette Hero. "You're still a Human, your current Level can't compare to Sefar. Even with your Miraculous powering you up."

Ryuko didn't even look at the two Males, she held her Sword and walked forward regardless of what they said. "I know," She said, already having her mind set on what she was about to do.

"Ryuko, you going to do it," Ritsuka said, knowing that tone of voice. "No matter what we say," He said to the bluenette Hero.

Chat Noir looked at his Ex-Girlfriend, his eyes widened realizing what was going on. He steps forward, trying to stop her from a Suicide Attack, "Kagami, I won't stand by and let you sacrifice yourself when you have plenty to live for-"

"Adrien," Ryuko didn't look back at the Hero of Destruction, her eyes laid on the White Titian. "My Husband is Dead, all of my Friends are Dead, when the Battle is over I'm not sure if Paris will recover from this."

The bluenette Hero smiled at Chat Noir, already made her decision. "Adrien, even if this Lostbelt were to disappear, there's still a Future for your Home," Ryuko said, shrugging off Chat Noir's claws and walking to among her Soldiers. "That's something worth fighting and dying for. You'll understand someday, but not today."

Charlie watches as the Hero of Perfection makes her stand. "If I'm able to, she'll definitely earn a seat as one of my Paladins." The Saber said, admiring her tenacity to defend Human History.

"Charlie," Charlie turns to Moriarty, speaking in a serious tone.

"Hmm? What is it, Moriarty? We're about to witness something-"

Moriarty's eyes were dull, indicating it was important. "We need to discuss something, alone." The Ruler said, not wanting their master nor anyone to hear their conversation.

Charlie nodded, following the Ruler to discuss something with him.

Ryuko leaps in the air, drawing her Sword in her hand. "Wind, Water, Lightning, these Elements are the Elements of Perfection." The Saber said, raising her Sword,

The three Elemental Symbols around her chest glowed, transferring her power into her Sword.

"My Swordsmanship was honed to the limits, behold. My Technique!" Ryuko leaps in the air, using her Wind Element as a platform to reach the White Titian.

Everyone watches the Hero of Perfection leap further up in the air, Ryuko raises her Sword above her head. Wind, Lightning, and Water all spiraling around the Blade.

Chat and Ritsuka gaze up at the bluenette Hero about to strike Sefar. "Ryuko…Kagami…" The Hero of Destruction's voice trails off, knowing this is the end for her.

Ryuko opened her eyes, falling on Sefar.

"Three Element Slash!"

The Hero of Perfection slashes her Sword at the White Titian, and a bright three-colored flash appears. A loud cry echoes throughout the Front,

"That strike, Mrs. Couffaine has poured everything within her Strike," Moriarity returned, observing the Attack she did.

Ritsuka looks at his Servant, wondering what he means. "What do you mean, Moriarty?" He asked the Ruler, noticing they returned from their talk.

The Magus took notice of the complex expression after speaking to Moriarty. "Are you okay, Charlie?" Ritsuka asked his Grandfather/Servant. "You look like you're in deep thought. Plus you have a frown on your face." He said a rare thing for the Saber to have,

Charlie cringed, looking at his Grandson/master. His usual smile returned on his face, replying to Ritsuka's question. "Oh yeah, I'm peachy as ever, Ritsuka!" He said before looking at the damage that Ryuko did to Sefar. "So, she barely made a scratch on Sefar." He said, seeing the Titian recovering from the Attack.

"The strike was combined with the Magical Energy of Mrs. Couffaine's Miraculous and her very Soul," Moriarty explains to everyone who doesn't know what the Hero did. "The best thing I could compare it to a Servant's Noble Phantasm. A Noble Phantasm that's far beyond a Human could handle." He explains,

"In short, she sacrificed her own very Life in order to use it to stop Sefar," Ritsuka said, frowning at another of their Allies sacrificing themselves for their survival.

"Even all that…" Chat Noir held his Comms, wanting to check something. "Can anyone confirm that Kagami survives her Attack on Sefar?" The Hero of Destruction asked anyone on the Storm Border to confirm if Kagami was still alive.

Ginny came out through the Comms, hearing the request. -ZZZ- I'm sorry, Chat Noir. But Kagami's vitals are gone. -ZZZ- The red-haired Witch informed the blonde Hero, apologizing to him. -ZZZ Her vitals were gone from the moment she made her Attack. -ZZZ-

The blonde Hero bit his lip, holding back his tears for his Ex-Girlfriend's sacrifice. Ginny's voice returned to the Comms when he was about to accept Kagami's Death.

-ZZZ- Everyone, Sefar is getting back up! -ZZZ- The young Witch informed the group.

Many of the Resistance Soldiers were all shouting, all aiming their Weapons at the rising Titian. "Even after Ryuko's Attack, Sefar is still unscathed." Tamamo Hime said, feeling a sense of dread.

"That goes to show how powerful Sefar is." Moriarty turns to his master and the others, "Master, it's best that you leave this Front and head to the next one." The Ruler said, advising him to go ahead.

Ritsuka looks at the former Apostle of the Alien World, understanding what needs to be done. "Alright, we'll see each other soon, Moriarty."

Charlie looks at Tamamo Hime, offering her a chance to escape. "Hime, we're going now. Are you sure-"

The Tamamo Tail turns to Ritsuka, directing the unable Soldiers to a safe area as Sefar begins to move once more. "Don't, Chaldea didn't Summon me. I was Summoned by the World." The Caster responded to the King's words. "I do appreciate it, Charlie-sama, but I'm determined to see this Lostbelt and its People to the end." She said,

Charlie nodded, understanding where the Divided Spirit was coming from. "It's an honor to fight alongside you, Tamamo-Hime." The Saber smiles, waking up to his Grandson. "Maybe in the near Future, we might see each other again."

"One could hope, Charlie-sama." Hime turns to both Ritsuka and Chat Noir, "Defeat Sefar, master, Chat Noir, I know you can do it." She said, returning to the evacuation.

Ritsuka looks at Chat Noir and the others, "Let's go, everyone. We still need more time for the Hume Barrel to be ready." He said as Charlie took him and headed straight for the next Front.

Moriarty made sure that everyone was cleared, even though their lives here were meaningless. He'll uphold the beliefs his master follows whether it's Proper Human History People or Lostbelt People, he'll make sure they're out of harm's way.

"Hime, are you finished evacuating the Soldiers?" The Ruler asked the Divided Spirit behind him.

Tamamo Hime nodded, turning back to face the Chaldean Servant. "Yes, all of the Soldiers were evacuated." She said as Sefar stepped closer to them,

Moriarty nodded, seeing they'd completed their task here. "Well, the only thing here is to return to where we belong." He said as the looming shadow of Sefar was above them.

"Indeed, I had fun here. Even completing my Duty as a Household Wife to Seimei-sama." Hime said, ready to return to the Throne of Heroes.

The Ruler smiled, looking up at the looming Titian before looking in the opposite direction. The direction where his master and the others went, "King Charlemagne, I hope you make the right choice." He said as Sefar stepped on the two.

Sefar broke through the Fouth Front, eliminating the remaining Servants stationed there.

The Fourth Front was now barren, the remaining Resistance Soldiers were scattered, but safe.

As for the White Titian, Sefar continued her purse to the Temporal Rift and absorbed the remaining Magical Energy in the Area.

"Marinette…"

Somewhere in Patricius, far from where the Chaldean Servants and the Resistance Soldiers set up Fronts to slow the advancing White Titian.

Despite the Buildings around him dissolving and being absorbed by Sefar. Chat Blanc remains still on the spot where Ladybug, Chat Noir, and Ruler Ladybug defeated him.

In his hand was the Lucky Charm they used to defeat him.

Chat Blanc doesn't know why this little trinket, this obsolete, insignificant item has managed to stop him. He should've destroyed it like any other day object, however he couldn't.

His memories were all fuzzy, the only thing he remembers clearly was a World filled with Water and Ruins of Skyscrapers. Along with those memories was a singular Person with blue hair in a Ladybug jumpsuit and a promise,

"I promise, I'll fix everything C##########." The bluenette Hero said, making a promise to him.

He smiles, knowing for sure that she'll always fix things, no matter how daunting or difficult things are. She always knows how to fix things in the end, but…

"Your punishment shall be to live in this Dystopian World for all of eternity. Alone, never again use your Power to destroy." The Ultimate One issued the Man's punishment, light shines brightly at him. "And forever bear witness your misdeeds to the Planet and Humanity."

He sat and watched, and watched, and watched the endless Ocean. Many years passed since that promise, many years since he last seen her, and nothing happened.

He sat at the edge of the TV Station Tower like always, even before she arrived for many years. Many years have passed, many years of solitude with no Human besides himself to keep him company. Enduring and serving the punishment from Archetype Earth.

Years of solitude, any Human would go insane by loneliness. And went insane he did,

Adrien continued to stare at the endless Ocean with many top of Buildings breaking through the pale blue Waters. Years of waiting, years of being alone, and being punished. He hated it. "Why…" He clenched his fist and gritted his teeth.

"Why is this happening to me…this…ah…L-Ladybug…Marinette…ah…"

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Adrien held his Head, screaming at the endless waiting for his Lady to fix this and free him from this torture of solitude.

Unbeknownst to him, two People were watching him from behind him. "So, is this who you wanted me to meet, Foreigner?" Felix asked the Foreigner next to him. "A version of my Cousin who went mad from loneliness? I think you made my day," He smiled.

"I'm glad I did, master." Dorian Grey said, looking at the disparity his master's Cousin is enduring. "However as you're aware, Elizabeth Bathory Void, Machiavelli, and D'Artagnan are the only Servants who answered our Summoning."

Dorian Grey smiles, "With our plans in motion the Miraculous Holders will be a problem going forward with our plans. Along with that, the Counter Force will send Counter Force Servants and most likely Counter Guardians, who were once Miraculous Holders to deal with us." The blonde Servant looks at his master, "This includes you as well, master."

Felix frowns, looking at the sad state of his Cousin. He couldn't help but smile at his suffering, it's like a form of karma, but he also couldn't help but wonder what they're doing here. "If that's the case Foreigner, tell me the real reason why you showed me this version of my Cousin." He said, looking at his Servant. "Seeing how he's in despair and obviously isolated for many years. This version of Adrien Agreste probably won't be of any use to us."

"You told me, Lostbelt Servants are powerful than Proper Human History's Servants." Felix looks at the Lostbelt version of Adrien. "But this Adrien, he looks like he won't win against them." He stated,

"Oh, that's where you're wrong, master," Dorian said, taking out an Akuma from his Pocket. "You see, even if this Lostbelt Adrien Agreste's mental state is beyond repair. His lack of self, reasoning, and awareness is long gone," He said with a wicked smile.

"A picking for a perfect Weapon used by the Eternal Empire, and by extension you." The Foreigner of London handed the black Butterfly to Felix; something he stole and modified from their Agent who's now in the Present. "All he needs is a little incentive. A purpose to be able to continue living and something that could handle any Miraculous Holder or Counter Guardians with similar attributes to them." Dorian explains to his master, wanting a Weapon that could counter the Miraculous Holders.

Felix smiled, convinced of the plan his Servant hatched. Then a single thought crossed his mind, prompting him to speak. "How about we do something else." He said, walking up to Lostbelt Adrien. "Instead of a Weapon that could defeat the Miraculous League. We can also have him take their power, add theirs to his own to surpass them in any way possible."

Dorian ponders for a moment before smiling. "Master, you're one Genius master." He said, taking the Akuma from his hand to modify it more. "Alright, now instead of him being a Berserker he'll be an Alter Ego. An Alter Ego that hasn't existed before."

He opened his hand, releasing the Akuma to the Lostbelt Adrien. "An Ego of Adrien that is alone and isolated that can take in more than three facets of Nature Spirits!" He said as the Akuma fluttered to him, landing on his back.

The Akuma merges with Adrien, transforming him into a powerful Alter Ego Lostbelt Servant by changing him into the very Person who created this World. Chat Blanc,

However, that was far from the truth. Yes, he did accept the Akuma and reverted back to Chat Blanc.

Yes, he did become the Alter Ego of White that absorbed every Miraculous Holder and Kwami they have.

In fact, Felix and Dorian successfully created a Weapon for the Eternal Empire. However, what they assumed they made an Alter Ego made from his loneliness and disparity was incorrect.

What they made or rather, what Lostbelt Adrien made himself was the desire to find the answers to his questions.

In better terms, an Ego of his obsession. An obsession to find out why he was abandoned, and an obsession with why he was forgotten. The obsession to be free. The obsession to find his Lady.

That's why he joined the Eternal Empire, that's why he fought his Proper Human History self's Allies and Home. So he could find the answers he's been obsessed to find,

However, it was futile; for whenever he met with Ladybug or any version of her. Something inside of him or rather the Akuma made him to Attack her.

So close to the answers and yet, it's beyond his reach. 'But is it?'

Chat Blanc blinks, looking up to see a blurred figure in front of him. "Your obsession to find the answers to your questions was already answered. You just didn't know or understood it."

The Lostbelt Servant remained silent, listening to the figure. "It's not that she's forgotten you. She did just that, she fixed your actions. However, the actions you took were recorded, thrown away in the trash heap of Proper Human History." He said, explaining why his questions were answered already.

"You were just a result of a cruel plot placed by the master to get his revenge on you. On your other self." He spoke, stepping forward to Chat Blanc. "But out of all this, it seems your one obsession. The one whose longing for freedom was granted." He said, placing his hand on his shoulders.

"Now that freedom of yours will be stripped away and you'll be forgotten once again." He spoke, raising his Head from the Alter Ego's height. "Will you let that happen? Will you let the master trample on your newfound freedom you've been obsessing for eternity?"

Chat Blanc opened his mouth, speaking his first reasonable words since forever. "I-I-"
