AN: Enjoy the chapter,
Ch 50 Welcome to Seraphix
Within the Storm Border, Harry with Fou sleeping on his lap along with Sirius and Remus sat before a board as Morarity slapped his hand on it. "THE MOON CELL! An Alien Supercomputer that landed Millions of Years ago on the far side of the Moon." The Ruler explains.
"Aliens…and a Supercomputer on the Moon…are you sure this isn't a Sci-Fi Fantasy thing?" Sirius asked the Ruler before him,
Harry looks at his Uncle, understanding how he feels. "I know how you feel, Uncle Sirius. I was shocked too and wondering if this was Fantasy." The young Boy said, "But what I've seen anything can be possible."
The Werewolf sitting next to the two Wizards agreed with Harry, "Sirius, Harry's right. If this is from a Sci-Fi book or film, the evidence that Aliens are real is the very Spaceship we're in." Remus said, reminding the former Convict where they are.
"R-Right," Sirius cleared his throat, forgetting they were literally riding in a Spaceship. "S-So, where exactly did the Moon Cell come from, Professor?" He asked the Ruler, feeling like he was in a much better History Class than what Professor Binns taught.
Morarity smiles, placing his hand on his chin. "Nobody knows, it could be from an Extinct race of Aliens that launched the Moon Cell to Earth for observation of the Planet. Or it could be a tool for an Invasion that didn't come to fruition." The former Apostle of the Alien World said, making some Theories. "However, the one thing we know is that it records every Event in the World's History. Similar to how the Counter Force work, but to a lesser degree."
"Counter Force?" Remus asked, being the first time hearing the term. "What's the Counter Force, Professor?"
The Crime Lord flinched, realizing he made a slip of the tongue. Cleared throat, Moriarty quickly made up for his blunder. "It's a rather…restricted topic that only a few are authorized to know. And seeing both of you are Outsiders, it's best to wait until master tells you,"
Sirius looks at his…well now Grandson, curious if he knows. "Do you know what the Counter Force is, Pup?" The Animagus asked his Friend's Son.
Harry nodded at the question. "Dad told me a while back when visiting the Wyvern Nests in France." The young Heir of Chaldea said, informing the two Wizards. "It's where Servants come from in response to the World being in trouble."
"You were at the Dragons' Nests, Harry!?" Sirius asked, hearing rumors in the Wizarding Community of Muggles capturing a group of Dragon Keepers, leaving only a Son of the Weasley Family. "Well…considering what Ritsuka did in Russia counts then it makes sense…"
Remus looks back at Moriarty, intrigued about the Moon Cell. "Professor M, if we don't know anything about the Moon Cell. How come Chaldea knows about it?" He asked the Servant.
"Back when Chaldea succeeded in the Grand Orders, there were series of Remnants, Pseudo-Singularities we dubbed the Epic of Remnants," Moriarty explains to the Werewolf, finding this topic to be interesting. "In one of those Singularities, Seraphix; the Oil Rig now in charge of Researching the Moon Cell was a Pseudo-Singularity at a point. Master along with a few chosen Servants was tasked to investigate and resolve this."
Morarity pulled up the Symbol of the Alter Ego and Moon Cancer Class. "In this Pseudo-Singularity call, S.E.R.A.P.H is where Chaldea was introduced to the Alter Ego and Moon Cancer Class Servants." The Ruler explains to the three Wizards,
"Alter Ego and Moon Cancer? Those are strange Class Names," Sirius commented, "So, what are they exactly?" He asked,
"The Alter Egos and Moon Cancers are a part of the Extra Classes that categorized Servants. Unlike the Seven Classes, these are a bit tricky to defeat, but regardless they're still a part of the Servant database." Moriarty explains to the two, nodding to whatever he just said. "Since we're directly heading to Searphix, I'll not waste any time explaining in detail what an Alter Ego is. Young master, if you would since you met a fair share of Alter Egos before." The Ruler looks at Harry,
Harry nodded, answering what an Alter Ego is. "Alter Egos are Servants are normally an aspect of a Servant that is well known from the Original. But they can be also High Servants or Composite Servants, like Kingprotea." The young Boy explains to the room.
"Composite Servants? Like Frankenstein, they're a mix-mash of other things?" Remus asked, comparing the two with each other.
"Not entirely, let's just say…they are Divine in some aspect," Moriarty said, still keeping the part that they're made of at least three Divine Spirits to fill in some missing parts. " But close enough, Mr. Lupin,"
"Then what about Moon Cancers? What are they?" Sirius asked, wondering about that Classification of Servant.
Harry nodded, waiting patiently for the explanation.
Moriarty chuckles, informing them what a Moon Cancer is. "Moon Cancers, are normally exclusive to one Servant, however with the…events that Chaldea has taken place in, the Class has expanded to other Candidates." The Ruler said, not wanting to get into the nitty-gritty part. "Primarily, though very vague; Moon Cancers are Servants that have scarred the Moon."
"Thus the Moon Cancer, I get it now." The Werewolf nodded, making the connection with the Moon and Cancer, "Gotta say, this is more interesting than I thought." Remus chuckles.
"Didn't you say that the Moon Cancer Class is originally exclusive to one Servant?" Sirius asked, catching wind of what the Professor said. "Who was the exclusive Servant."
The Crime Lord smiles, answering Sirius's question. "The being who is the main AI of Searphix, leader of the Servants within the Oil Rig. The being is called BB."
Suddenly the PA came on with Nemo's voice coming out of it, -ZZZ- Attention, the Storm Border has reached the Mariana Trench, currently, we're in Seraphix's Airspace. -ZZZ- Captain Nemo announced to the entire Border.
Sirius's eyes, feeling like they just left Britain's Docks. "We're here already? But we just left Britain…" The shaggy-haired Wizard looks over to the Digital Clock above the Monitor. "L-Like an Hour ago!"
Moriarty claps his hand, smiling at the shocked Wizards. "That's the Storm Border for you, Mr. Black. It's the fastest and only ship that Mankind strives to build one Day." The Ruler said, "However, we cannot share the knowledge with the Mundane World since it was built from the Age of Gods Magecraft and other assortments."
"We understand, basically Science with Magic combined," Remus said, knowing that Chaldea was keeping Magic from the Public Eye like the Ministry. "Anyways, we should go see what's going on at the Bridge. Harry,"
"Okay, just let me wake Fou up," Harry said, patting the beast's head to wake him up.
The Mariana Trench, Seraphix Oil Rig
Hovering above where Seraphix was supposed to be, the Storm Border remained on standby as it observed the situation.
Ritsuka, using the Papermoon stood beside Mashu already armored up, Rani XII, Holmes, Da Vinci, and Koyanskaya while Nemo and the other Staff kept the Boarder in place.
"That Barrier…it's like a Storm Wall back in the Lostbelts," Ritsuka said, biting his thumb, seeing the dome-like structure surrounding the entire Oil Rig. "What on Earth is BB planning," He asked himself, wondering why the Moon Cancer was acting up.
Holmes looks over to Rani XII, wondering if she has any insight into what the Main AI is up to. "Ms. Rani XII, do you have any ideas what BB is up to in Seraphix?"
The violet-haired AI shook her head, unable to give a definite answer to the Detective. "Unfortunately, Mr. Holmes, I was preoccupied with another task requested by the director. That is when I received the Protocols." Rani XII explains to the Ruler. "However, I can tell you that BB and a few Servants stationed at Searphix received word from the Assassin Servant, Tezcatlipoca."
Ritsuka flinched, hearing what the AI Unit said. "Tezcatlipoca…you say?" He asked,
Rani XII nodded, looking at the director of Chaldea. "Indeed, though I have no idea what message it could be, the best I could tell you is it's revolving around your Heir, director." The violet-hared AI informed them.
"So we don't know exactly what's going on in Seraphix nor what BB is up to too." Da Vinci commented, seeing this as an everyday Singularity. "Another typical day in Chaldea then,"
"In any case, we should try to relay a message to director Ajima to get an inside look at what's going on." Mashu shared her thoughts on the situation,
"Unfortunately any transmission we've been relaying isn't being responded to," Koyanskaya informed the Command Room, trying to connect themselves with the Oil Rig's Communication Systems. "That AI is blocking any messages we send to the Staff and AIs. We're going in blind,"
Soon the doors opened, and rushing in were Harry and the two Wizards who stuck around. Narcissa, Draco, and Daphne didn't join since they couldn't leave Britain due to their Age or their assigned Outpost.
"Dad, Mom, we're here at Seraphix already?" Harry asked his Parents, seeing the Papermoon showing the Oil Rig within a small white Dome.
Sirius looks at the Papermoon, despite already seeing it. It still amazed both him and Remus that Muggle Technology was able to project something far away. However, the image of Seraphix was different than what he'd envisioned. "I thought Seraphix was an Oil Rig, not some Dome thing." He commented,
"Unless the Dome is the Oil Rig…" Remus said, observing the Papermoon.
Mashu shook her head, answering the Werewolf. "No, Seraphix was supposed to look like an Oil Rig just like the ones People see on the Outside. The inside is much…much larger than the outside." The former Demi-Servant explains,
"Fou, Fou," Fou nodded, being there a couple of times before.
Harry smiles, looking at the Papermoon. "So, what do we do now?" He asked,
Ritsuka steps forward, smiling at his Son. "For starters, me and a couple of Servants will be infiltrating Seraphix and trying to make contact with the Staff or the Ais there." He turns to Rani XII, "Rani, I'll be counting on you for any AI/Staff detection upon Rayshifting. The best bet is to locate either Sakura in the Growth Section or Ayus in the Medical Section of Searphix."
Rani XII nodded, being the one equipped to do whatever Ritsuka needed her to do. "Understood, director." The AI responded,
Remus's eyes widen, hearing Ritsuka talking about how large the Oil Rig's inside was. "So that's how big we're talking about…sheesh, it's like the Tardis in Doctor Who…" He commented, seeing the Show before.
"What about us, Ritsuka? What should we do?" Sirius asked his Son, wanting to help in any way possible.
Ritsuka and Mashu look at the Wizards and their Son, "You three will be staying here on the Border. Seraphix may sound like a nice place to visit, but it can be very unpredictable." The Magus explains, not wanting them to experience Seraphix.
Harry was disappointed that he couldn't see Seraphix in Person. However, the young Boy understands, regardless there is one perk in this. "So, who's going with you, Dad?"
"Trismegistus II has calculated that Fujimaru-kun and Mashu will take a team of the traditional Seven Servants." Da Vinci explains to the young master, "It also calculated that this will be a quick Mission, anywho, let's introduce the Infiltration Team." The Rider turns around at the door as it opens to the First Servant joining the Command Room.
"Oh? Is this my cue to reveal myself?" A cheery voice asked, coming behind the group. "Umu! Very well, then I shall grace yourself with my presence!" Heels clicked on the metallic flooring, entering the Command Room.
Everyone saw a blonde Woman with a hair bun and wearing a red dress with a huge pair of breasts. "I, your beloved Servant, N-er Saber will lend my power, Praetor!" Nero Claudius, the Fifth Emperor of Rome announced,
Sirius and Remus were taken aback by another beautiful Woman/Servant appeared, calling Ritsuka master or Praetor. "Just what is with Ritsuka and Women?" Sirius asked himself, "Merlin, I'm jealous." He pouts at his Son having a Harem.
"Umu, umu! I can tell you're Praetor's Father," Nero smiled and proudly said. "Both of you have an eye for anything beautiful." The Saber said before noticing Harry staring at her. "And not only you, umu! The young Prince also inherited your eye for beauty."
Harry smiles, seeing another famous Historical Figure before them. "Nice to meet you, Saber." He greeted the Red Saber.
Nero smiles back, already smitten with Harry. "Glad to finally meet, young Prince." She greeted him back,
Remus shook his head, looking at the brunette Rider near Mashu. "I thought you said Ritsuka and Mashu were going in with a Team of Seven Servants, Rider?" He asked, the Rider Servant.
Da Vinci looks at the Werewolf, answering his question. "Oh, they are, the other Six are in Briefing Room Two, ready for deployment. In any case, we should get this started." The Technical Head of Chaldea said, approaching the Console.
"The Coordinates are in place, director Fujimaru, Lady Mashu, Saber, please make your way to-"
-ZZZ- BB Channel! -ZZZ- (Insert BB Channel ost)
Everyone jumped at the sudden announcement along with a catchy tune playing. "W-What is this? Where is this music coming from?" Sirius asked, a bit shocked by the outburst.
Harry looks around, seeing the Monitors where displaying the words, BB Channel. "The Monitors, they're acting up." He told the entire room.
"We're finally receiving a transmission from Seraphix!" Koyanskaya announced, unable to stop BB's hacking. "We're being hacked, Captain?"
"No use, she already hacked through the defenses!" Captain Nemo exclaims, unable to do anything at this point.
-ZZZ- My, oh my, oh my, it looks like I hit the jackpot here! -ZZZ- A cheery voice similar to Durga from Russia spoke through the PA. -ZZZ- It's a whole generation of Senpais! There's the original Senpai, the one I adore, the…least attractive Senpai, and the Kouhai! What a catch! -ZZZ-
Ritsuka stood tall, looking at the Monitors. "BB, what are you up to this time." The Magus asked his Servant,
Coming up on the Monitors was a young Woman with purple hair and large breasts, a white shirt, a short black skirt, and a tailcoat with red ribbons. She smiles, looking down at the occupants of the Storm Border. -ZZZ- Senpai, Senpai, isn't it a bit rude that you're asking your Kouhai about her personal matters? Still the same ever Senpai, I feel violated…-ZZZ- She gave an innocent expression at Ritsuka.
"Rude…" Sirius huffs, hearing one aiming for him.
"That's BB?" Harry asked, looking up at the AI on the Monitors. At first glance, she doesn't seem to be a threat, but that is probably a ploy to trick others.
"BB, I'm serious. I know you're up to something, the Papermoon and Rani XII prove you up to something." Ritsuka said, used to the Moon Cancer's antics.
-ZZZ- Ah, what a shame. Here I thought I could play with my favorite Human a bit longer. -ZZZ- BB sighs before getting to the point. -ZZZ- Right, so as you're aware…there are now two-no, three factions in Chaldea regarding Kouhai's succession. -ZZZ-
BB held up her fingers, -ZZZ- The ones who support him, those who are natural of him, and those who want to get rid of him. -ZZZ- She said, not holding back her tongue. -ZZZ- Nobody in the entire Planet could not absolutely replace you, my Second Senpai. -ZZZ-
Harry flinched, hearing the sharp tongue the AI had. "What does that mean? What is this BB Character saying?" Remus and Sirius look at everyone, wondering what she is talking about.
"What are you implying, BB-san?" Mashu asked the Moon Cancer Servant.
"Get to the point, BB," Ritsuka said, not playing games with her.
BB moans, rolling her eyes. -ZZZ- Fine, you're no fun, Senpai. -ZZZ- The Moon Cancer adjusted herself, frowning at the master of Chaldea. -ZZZ- Almost every Servant present here in Seraphix opposes your Kid's succession as the next master of Chaldea. We believe that he does not have the capabilities of how a Chaldean master should be. -ZZZ-
Harry was used to it, hearing those words again like in South America. "Fou…" The Beast comforts him,
"Thanks, Fou," The young Boy appreciates the gesture.
-ZZZ- That is…when we received word about the Grail Front. -ZZZ- BB stated, smiling at the young master next to Ritsuka. -ZZZ- Some of us, namely Protea have shifted the perspective of him. A young Boy not of the Age of Thirteen defeated a Grand, a Beast, and survived the encounter of ORT…well, you see the picture… -ZZZ-
"No, I don't," Ritsuka responded, still not amused.
BB gave a blank expression at Ritsuka, -ZZZ- Really? Do I really need to spell it out to you, master? -ZZZ- The Moon Cancer said, sighing as she raised her Baton. -ZZZ- Since Kohai has that experience already, why not test him? I heard you refused to have him experience the Seven Singularities, the Remnants, and the Lostbelts. So, I figured to make our own. -ZZZ-
Ritsuka sighs, shaking his head at his Servant. "Don't tell me…"
-ZZZ- Yep, I've created a Minute Singularity just to see what Kouhai is made of. -ZZZ- BB responded, cheery as ever.
Koyanskaya leans overs to Holmes, "(Here I thought I was cruel…)" The Alter Ego commented.
Holmes merely smiles before hearing a strange sound near the Console. "Ms. BB don't tell me, did you-"
BB nodded as five lights surrounded Ritsuka, Harry, Mashu, Nero, and Sirius. "W-Wait, what's happening!? I feel like my Body is on water!" Sirius panics, unsure what is happening to him.
Harry looks at his Father, "Dad!?"
"Relax, Hars, Otto-san. BB is just-"
BB twirls around, aiming her Baton at the five People. -ZZZ- BB hacking, Rayshift time! -ZZZ- She announced to the chosen five, including the Six Servants in Briefing Room Two Rayshifted to Seraphix.
Remus and everyone covered their eyes from the blinding light before opening them. He peers forward, seeing Sirius and the others gone. "W-Where did everyone go!?"
Holmes turns to Da Vinci, "Da Vinci, Ms. Rani XII locate their Magical Energy Signatures on the Papermoon!" The Ruler said, being next in line of Command.
"On it, Holmes!" Da Vinci and Rani immediately went into action, searching for the others.
The door opened as Zhou Yu rushed in, "I was just passing by when my connection to master was disconnected!" The Archer exclaims, concerned for his master. "What happened!?"
Holmes looks at the Strategist, answering him. "We're on it, Archer. We believe that they were taken to the Singularity."
-ZZZ- Right you are, Mr. Detective. -ZZZ- BB, still remaining answers the Ruler and Werewolf's question on the whereabouts of Ritsuka and the others. -ZZZ- Like the SERAPH Singularity, I split them up throughout Seraphix's many Sections. I dubbed it the…-ZZZ-
-ZZZ- Sub-Singularity: Sakura Labyrinth-Trial of Seraphix. -ZZZ-
BB laughs, spins around, and points to the remaining Staff and Servants on the Border (Breaking the Fourth Wall). -ZZZ- Place your bets, everyone, this will be a doozy for Kohai! Stay tuned on the BB Channel, for the fun will begin shortly. -ZZZ-
Sub-Singularity: Sakura Labyrinth- Trial of Seraphix
