AN: Loving Ordeal Call II, personally it's up there on my list along with my favorite chapters. As for the Hogwarts Uniform, it seems you all want a unique take on the Uniform. It'll be a while, but the School Uniform from Ordeal Call 2 is what I'm thinking but with the Chaldean Logo and the tie; the color of the Houses they'll be in. As for Marie Alter, you have to wait and see. This chapter is like a preview of how Marie Alter will show here.
Ch 63 First Spot Summons
After being checked by Ayus, she determined that Harry has a clean bill of Health. He was walking down the Hallway, thinking about what happened in his Dream.
'What does he mean he'll be with me…' Harry thought to himself, thinking about what Count of Monte Cristo said to him.
"Harry-sama," The black-haired Boy blinks, turning to Aria and calling his Name. "Harry-sama, are you sure you're doing alright?" Aria asked, concerned over her master.
Karna nodded, having also been concerned over the young master. "I have to agree with Aria, young master." The Lancer spoke. "Ever since you've woken up, you've been keeping to yourself. Did something happen in your Dreams?" He asked, knowing his master's Affinity for Dreams.
Harry understood where the two Servants came from: "It's nothing, just someone speaking to me there and all." He said, having felt they knew what he meant, more for Karna to understand.
The Hero of Benefaction nodded, assuming it must be either the Counts of Monte Cristo who had spoken to him. It's very well-known that these Avengers were always keeping Ritsuka's mind safe,
For one of them to appear before Harry means his mind is secure and will have their support later in his Life. "I see, then I'll take it everyone is good with the Count?" Karna asked the young master.
"Count? That's what he's called?" Harry asked, hearing the Name of the Servant he met in his Dream.
Karna nodded, answering the young master. "Yes, the Count of Monte Cristo, or Edmond Dantes is master's trusted Confidant and the one who supports him in the Shadows. "The Count most likely showing his support in his own way." He said,
Edmond Dantes, the Count of Monte Cristo from the Novel; The Count of Monte Cristo written by Alexandre Dumas. Harry has read the Novel once back at the British Outpost during his free time.
"If Sherlock Holmes and Professor Moriarty can be Servants, I guess he can too," Harry said, looking around for the Avenger who is staying in his Shadow.
Harry then shook his head, not minding that for now. "So, are we going to the Repair Section Hub?" The young Boy asked the Servants.
Aria nodded, looking up at her master, nodding to his question. "Yes, we only stopped any plans of going to the Hub when you were unable to wake up." The Rider said, informing the young Heir of Chaldea.
"Oh…I see, I'm sorry." Harry apologizes to the Servants if he hindered any plans.
"No, don't be. You going into REM Sleep isn't your fault. It's something you didn't know or have control over." Karna said, not blaming him for that incident.
Harry smiles at Karna's words to him. "Thanks, Karna." He said before adding to his statement. "You know, everyone's right about you being charitable and kind."
Karna merely smiles, accepting Harry's words. "I appreciate what you said, young master." The Lancer humbly replied as the three walked out of the Medical Center.
Standing outside was everyone who was waiting for Harry to wake up. Nero looks back, smiling at the young master coming out of the Medical Center. "Young Prince, we're glad you're awake and alright." The Roman Emperor said.
"Yes, you are indeed a true Rebel," Spartacus said, truly relieved to see the young master safe.
Rogue Pretender smiles, walking over to her master, "Hmm-hmm. Master, we were worried that you wouldn't wake up." The red-haired Servant said,
Harry chuckles, scratching the back of his head. "Yeah…sorry…"
"It's fine, as long as you're safe young Lord," Tametomo said before looking at the Hub in the distance. "However, we should really get to the Hub Section. I don't mean anything, but we did waste some time here." The Archer said,
Harry nodded, understanding how much time they wasted when he was in REM Sleep as they put it. In any case, they still need to go to the Hub. "Right, I understand. Let's get go-"
"Hold up," Andersen spoke up, gaining everyone's attention.
"What is it, Mr. Andersen?" Harry asked, hearing Ayus and Duryodhana exit the Building and join them.
Andersen crossed his arms, looking at the group. "We can only bring a few select Servants with us. Even though the Repair Section Hub is a Neutral Zone, outside its perimeter is heavily guarded." The Caster looks at Ayus, wanting to know something. "Isn't that right, Ayus?" He asked,
Everyone turns their attention to the Prime AI, hearing her response. Ayus nodded, having eyes everywhere in the Repair Section. "Yes, there's at least a Platoon of Security Ais roaming around the area."
"They'll sense a bunch of Servants heading their way real quick," Duryodhana commented, "I say bring at least two or three." He said, strategizing how they should proceed.
Tametomo nodded, agreeing with the Indian Prince. "I ag-"
"Then I, Spartacus shall go-"
Harry interrupts the Rebellious Gladiator, "Wait, Spartacus. I think there's something else you can do for us." He said, thinking of something that Spartacus could do while they head to the Hub.
"Hmm? What is it you want me to do, Little Rebel?" Spartacus asked curiously, wondering what his plan was.
Harry walks over to the Berserker, whispering to his ears what he wants him to do. He steps back, looking at Spartacus.
Spartacus nodded, understanding what Harry wanted him to do. "Truly a magnificent plan, Little Rebel!" The Rebellious Gladiator said, smiling at what he's been told. "I shall follow your plan,"
Harry smiles, "Thank you, Spartacus." He said before feeling confident with this plan. He was about to choose who would come with them, however, Andersen had something to say.
"Boy, if you're picking who you're taking with you to the Repair Section Hub, then I'm going with you." Andersen offered his services to the young master.
"Oh, okay. Is there any reason why?" Harry asked the blue-haired Caster, "Is it to finish your writing?" The young Boy asked his Father's Servant.
Andersen sighs, placing his hand on his forehead. "Just let me handle Kiara when we get the Hub." The Caster said, feeling a migraine coming soon. Harry blinks not sure what he meant, but if he knows his way around Kiara, then he should trust him to do so.
"Alright, let's go to the Repair Hub," Harry said, ready and fully prepared for what was waiting for them at the Hub.
After getting ready and making sure that Harry got something to eat, they set out for the Repair Section Hub.
Nero, Rogue Pretender, Andersen, and Karna were chosen to go ahead to the Hub. They made their way down the street, leading to the Church Building. On their way to the Hub, they encountered a few of the Security Ais however they were taken out easily.
"SEI!" Nero thrust her Sword into the Security Sentinel, causing it to explode.
Karna swung his Lance, creating a wave of Flames to burn the Enemies. He scans the area if they were any more Enemies left. "Seems like we've cleared the area," The Hero of Benefaction said,
"Umu, there are more of the Security Ais here than in the other Sections," Nero added looking around in case there were any more Security Ais.
Andersen closed his book, answering Nero's question. "Most likely the Security Sentinels are drawn to master's Father." The Author said, assuming that's the reason why there are so many Security AIs around.
The Author looks at Rogue Pretender, "Pretender, you better keep an eye on the Boy." Andersen advises her to keep a close eye on the young master. "He's more at risk now that we're getting closer to the Hub."
"Right, I'm already on it, Mr. Andersen!" Rogue Pretender said cheerfully, standing next to her master.
Harry merely gave a smile at how confident his Servant sounded, "I'm trusting you to do so, Pretender." He said, trusting her prowess to protect him.
Rogue Pretender nodded, determined to do her job as a Servant to her master. "Hmm! I won't let you down, master!" She said to him,
Nero turns around, seeing their destination was this close in their sights. "Umu, let's continue our way to the Hub." She said, walking over to the Church.
As they got closer to the Repair Section, their destination was close at hand.
Harry looks up, smiling that they managed to reach the Church. "We're here!" He said, quickly covering his mouth when a few of the Sentinels turned their heads in their direction.
Everyone quickly hid behind the Digital foliage, "Boy, be quiet for a moment." Andersen hissed, seeing he almost blew their cover.
Nero and Karna look beyond the greenery, seeing the Ais gathering around the entrance of the Church. "My intuition was right, the Security Ais knew that we were heading to the Repair Hub." The Lancer said, observing the Ais.
"Umu, but fighting them now isn't to deal away from them," Nero said, reminding the group of their plan.
Harry nodded, knowing what the plan was. "Right, we're waiting for Spartacus to come and-"
"HAHAHAHA! WICKED OPPRESSORS, I SPARTACUS SHALL CRUSH YOU ALL!" The group heard the Rebellious Gladiator cries from the left.
They all turn to the left, seeing the Berserker rushing down the other side. Spartacus laughs, leaping in the air with his Sword in hand. "LOVE!" He fell from the sky, slamming into the Ais.
-ZZZ- Servant detected, activating Anti-Servant Programing. -ZZZ- The Ais said, seeing Spartacus destroying a few of their fellow Ais.
"AHAHAHAHA!" Spartacus grabs hold of one of the Security Ais and tosses them far in the other direction. The Berserker then turned his head to the others and grinned. "If you wish to stop this Rebellion, then show me your Love for Oppression! HAHAHAHAHA!" He called the Ais out, ushering them to follow.
The AI Security Sentinels scanned Spartacus, simulating possible situations in their programming. They all proceeded to follow Spartacus, thinking he might lead them to the young Heir.
Harry smiles, seeing the plan has worked perfectly. "Good, seems that Lughead is doing his part well," Andersen said, ready to move out when Spartacus managed to get every AI's attention.
Harry got up, seeing that almost all the Ais were leaving the Gate. "Spartacus lead the Ais away!" He said, getting up from the ground, and stepping out of the foliage.
-ZZZ- I detect no Security Sentinels in your vicinity. Spartacus is leading them far from the Hub's entrance. -ZZZ- Mable informed the group, taking over for Gusion who was preoccupied with his own Section.
The young Heir quickly left the greenery, heading to the entrance of the Repair Section Hub. Rogue Pretender saw her master leaving quickly, "Master, wait!" She called out to him.
"Young master, no! Not yet-"
Karna and Rogue Pretender tried to stop the black-haired Boy, however, he was already out in the open. "Young Prince, wait!" Nero cried, out as they went after him.
Harry was already on the path, he didn't hear the Servants calling or trying to stop him. He was so excited that his Mother and Uncle were this close, that he didn't notice the danger he was in.
"Heh," Leaping from the shadows, Tiara-no-Kagekiyo appeared above him with her Blades at the read. "You're so eager to meet Lady Mashu that you dropped your guard. A fatal mistake…" She said, her voice coming right behind him.
Harry turns around, seeing Kagekiyo about to slash him. His eyes widen, realizing that he did make a mistake.
He shut his eyes, not wanting to see what's next. 'Indeed you are too eager that you forgot to keep your guard up,' The Shadow spoke within his mind. 'However, you should take this moment to learn from your mistake. Now, brandish your Command Seals and think who you want to save you!' Count Monte of Cristo exclaims, (Insert )[FGO] Ordeal Call II (Id) - Grand Battle BGM)
Harry didn't realize he was gripping his hand into a fist, or his Command Seals were glowing. "Anyone will do, it does matter!" He shouted as the Command Seals glowed brighter.
Count of Monte Cristo smirks, and Harry's shadow begins to resemble Flames. He opened his eyes, and his right one began to give off a pinkish-purple Flame within Harry's shadow.
His Spirit Origin Watch began to react to Harry's Command Seal, however, it's only providing the Spirit Origins of someone. The real Catalyst/ Summoning Circle is Harry's Shadow itself. "Very well, make use of this Servant, young master. For now, he serves you," The Avenger said, moving above Harry as he temporarily altered the Connection.
Harry's Shadow began to swirl as a figure appeared within. He turns around, seeing a dark void in his Shadow, "H-Huh? I-Is this how-" He paused, seeing something, or someone inside the void.
Kagekiyo's eyes widen, moving her blades to block a strike from Harry's Shadow. "Tch, so you're being aided by the Count of Monte Cristo, Child. Tch, how troublesome." The Avenger managed to block the strike; however, she did not prevent the coming forth of the Servant.
Stepping out of the Shadow, the Servant both the Count and Harry called forth stood before him.
Harry saw the Servant before him, he looked like he was around Sixteen or Seventeen based on his appearance. If not, a bit younger than that, like Fourteen or Fifteen.
The Servant has light skin and bluish hair, he wears a black hooded jacket that doesn't close nor reach down to his waste. He wore black baggy pants tied in a black and blue belt, his forearms and legs were wrapped in bandages, and he got a womb tattoo of a star.
In his hands were two Sickles that were used to defend against Kagekiyo. However, the most eye-catching was the white Skull mask he wore over his face.
"Hmm… it seems that my Connection with master is altered. So it's your doing, Count…" The Servant said, turning his head to Harry who he recognized instantly. "You, you're the Son of my master, are you not?" He asked the young Boy.
"Y-Yeah, I'm Harry Fujimaru, are you one of the Hassans?" Harry asked, instantly he knew who this Person was, or more specifically who he was.
The Hassan nodded, answering his question. "Yes, Hassan of the Shining Star. An Assassin Class," Hassan of the Shining Star introduced himself. "And based on my Connection with your Father, it seems I am your Servant for the time being." The Assassin said, turning face to the Avenger before him.
Hassan of the Shining Star held his Sickles, staring at his former Comrade. "Do forgive me, Kagekiyo. However, I must perform my duty as the young master's Servant." The Assassin said, apologizing to his Ally in Id.
Harry's eyes shifted to Kagekiyo who merely smirked. He was expecting the Avenger to be angry, however, she merely accepted it as it was.
"I figured as much. You Hassans are a part of the Neutral Faction much like your Founder." Kagekiyo said, catching the other Servants that were with Harry approach them. She prepared her Blades, smiling at the opportunity. "It's been some time since we've crossed Blades, Hassan. It would be wrong to waste this opportunity before me to take up a fight."
Shining Star nodded, drawing his Sickles. His yellow eyes looked back at his current master, "Young master, stand back. I'll handle Kagekiyo for you." The Assassin said,
"R-Right, be careful," Harry said, wishing his temporary Servant luck.
Shining Star didn't add anything else, he dashed forward as Kagekiyo did the same.
The two Servants raised their Blades, clashing with each other.
"Hup!" Shining Star slashed one of his Sickles at the Avenger,
However, Kagekiyo caught his Sickle with her Blade as she came close to thrust her other Katana at the Assassin. "Sei!"
Quickly using his Evasion Skill, Shining Star dodges the Genji Killer's Attack. "Hmm, how troublesome." The Avenger commented, seeing the Assassin Class's best trait, evading and dodging.
Shining Star landed on the ground, smiling at the Avenger. "In a bout like this, you have to use any means necessary to claim victory." He said, looking at Harry expecting him to be already inside the Repair Section Hub.
However, he stayed behind him, even if he had the opportunity to leave for the Church. He stayed to witness the Battle, much like his own master. His evaluation of the Boy previously has been proven wrong, 'I thought I have a good idea who this Boy is, but it seems I need to evaluate him more. No wonder the Founder has requested me to keep an eye on him'
"Don't take your eyes off from your Opponent, Shining Star." Kagekiyo grinned, slashing her Katanas at the Assassin, "You should know this by now," The Avenger stated,
Shining Star flips back from the Avenger's slash, he then lands in front of Harry and the Servants who met up with him. "I was paying attention, Kagekiyo. But I am also paying mind to the young master."
The Assassin looks at Harry and the others, "Nero, everyone, take the young master to the Hub. I'll handle Kagekiyo here," Shining Star said, giving the group time to head into the Safe Zone.
"Wait, Hassan! Don't-" Harry was picked up by Nero, who quickly took the opportunity to take him to the Church. "W-Wait, Nero, we can't just leave Hassan back here to face Kagekiyo!" He reasons with the Roman Emperor. (End Song)
"I know how you feel, young Prince. However, Shining Star is performing his duty as your Servant by buying us time to cross the entrance to the Safe Zone." Nero explains to the young Heir, telling him that Servants will sometimes sacrifice themselves for their master's survival.
Karna looks at Harry, adding something to Nero's words. "Young master, Shining Star will meet us again soon. Just be patient." The Lancer said, ensuring that they'll meet Shining Star soon enough.
Harry understood what the Servants saying and tried to reassure him. But it still doesn't sit right that they're leaving him to fight. Regardless, he knows he can't waste the opportunity Shining Star got for them,
Right now, their priority is to meet with his Mother and Uncle in the Repair Section Hub. He nods in response to both Servants' statements. "Hmm? Mr. Andersen?"
"I told you before, Boy. I'll handle Kiara, so I'm taking the lead here." Andersen said, not wanting Harry to experience what Kiara might bring.
"R-Right, we'll leave that to you, Mr. Andersen," Harry said as they approached the Church's doors.
Andersen reached out to open the Repair Section Hub's door, and it opened. "Huh?" The Author and the others were surprised to see who opened the door.
"Mom!" Harry exclaims, seeing his Mother standing at the door of the Church.
Mashu looks at Harry, surprised to see that he made it all the way here from wherever he was. "Harry-kun, you're here! I-I can't believe it," She quickly knelt down and hugged her Son tightly, relieved to see him safe.
Harry smiles being embraced by his Mother, happy to see her.
"You all did well taking care of Harry-kun," Mashu said, looking at the Servants who were watching over him. "I don't know how I would ever thank you,"
Karna shook his head, humbly responding to Mashu's gratitude. "We're merely doing our part as Adults. Anyone would do the same if they were in our shoes." The Hero of Benefaction said,
Nero agreed with what Karna said, however, there was something that Mashu could do for them. "Actually there is something you could do for us, Mashu." The Roman Emperor said, gaining the former Demi-Servant's attention.
"Hmm?" Mashu looked confused, unsure what Nero might be implying.
Back at the entrance of the Repair Section Hub, Hassan of the Shining Star and Taira-no-Kagekiyo were still exchanging strikes with each other.
Kagekiyo smirks, holding her two Katanas out. "Here I come, Shining Star!" She produced black Flames as she leaps forward to do a finishing blow to the Assassin.
"Tch," Shining Star clicked his tongue, gripping his Sickles tightly. He got ready, readying his Weapons to deflect the Avenger's attack.
The Genji Killer slashed the Hassan, causing him to be thrown back. "GAH!" Shining Star grunted, stabbing the Digital ground to balance himself.
"You've done well, Hassan of the Shining Star. You have provided the Child time to go into the Repair Section Hub." Kagekiyo acknowledges the Assassin's sacrifice and dedication. "A noble deed for every Servant, however, you're way in your head."
Shining Star chuckles, standing up from the ground. "I can tell, Kagekiyo." He said, looking at the Avenger. "You're merely trying to frighten the young master from becoming the next master of Chaldea."
Kagekiyo paused, not responding to the Assassin's statement. She closed her eyes, and answered, "Indeed, a Child like the young master isn't the right fit for the position." She stated, explaining her reason. "A Child outside of a Mage Family and has yet to know real suffering…he'll be better off with a Mundane Family than Chaldea." She said, remembering how their master suffered in Id. She doesn't want Harry to suffer as Ritsuka did.
The Avenger raised her head, lifting her Blades. "Do forgive me, Shining Star. I hold no adversity towards your choice in protecting the Child." Kagekiyo said, glaring down at the Assassin. "But this is what we have to do…to protect the Child from encountering suffering…" She brought down her Swords at the Hassan, knowing he would simply be automatically resummoned back in Chaldea.
However, her Blades were deflected by a large Shield, causing Kagekiyo to step back. She stares right at the Person who deflected her strike. "Mashu…"
Mashu stood in front of the Avenger Servant, defending Hassan of the Shining Star from her.
AN: How do you like it? I know what you're all going to say and yes, Hassan of the Shining Star among a few more Servants will be Students in Hogwarts. Anyways please leave a comment or review.
