AN: So after playing Samurai Remnant and seeing how Iori was taught secret techniques, I figured Harry's Magecraft would be like that alongside some Runes.
Ch 56 Two Berserkers, One Big Situation
Harry sat in the Command Center where there were at least twenty or so non-AI Personals present in the Room.
"I'm glad that you are safe, young master," Gusion said, expressing his relief that the next director of Chaldea was alright.
"I know that the Servants will protect me, so I'm not worried," Harry responded before looking back at Nero, Andersen, and Gawain ready to jump in for some reason.
The newer Servants were rather tamed, however, those who participated in the Temple of Time know what he's like, even though he's an AI.
Rouge Pretender looks back at the others, all on guard with the AI. "Um…everyone seems to be on edge with you, Gusion." The red-haired Servant said.
"Ara, I did notice it too, Pretender. Any reason as to why, Gusion?" Aria asked the Prime AI of the Transfer Section.
"Gusion…Gusion…I think I heard that Name before…" Harry ponders, couldn't help but wonder where he has heard that Name before.
Gusion smiles, answering the young master of Chaldea. "You should, it's the Name of one of the Seventy-two Demon Gods that the director fought in the Grand Orders." The brown-haired AI explains to the group.
"Seventy-two Demon Gods? As in the ones from the Lesser Key of Solomon!?" Harry asked, knowing about it from his time at the Orphanage.
The AI nodded, confirming what Harry said. "That's right, as for the other question, I'm just an AI modeled after the Magus Lev Lainur or the Demon God Flauros. Though my Name now doesn't help me a bit." Gusion looks back at the Servants who turned away from his gaze. "From the Records, Professor Lev was a Magus that helped create Chaldeas and the Sheba Lens along with being charged for Lady Mashu's education."
The group walks down the Halls, heading straight for the Command Center within the Main Building. "Professor Lev was later betrayed due to his awakening as Flauros. He caused a great deal of trauma for the director and the Lady." Gusion explains, reading it from the Records.
Harry's eyes widen, now understanding why the Servants are on edge with Gusion. He looks at the brown-haired AI, seeing him as a nice and polite AI.
Aria looks at Gusion, asking him something. "What about now? Do you plan to betray Chaldea?" The Rider asked the Prime AI. "As a matter of fact, why would Harry-sama's Father allow someone who was his Enemy before as an AI for Seraphix?"
"I'm curious as to why as well," The black-haired Boy added, wanting to know the reasoning behind it.
Gusion ponders before answering the young master. "When constructing Seraphix, the director asked BB to recreate some Ais to assist with its operations." The brown-haired AI said, further explaining to the newcomers. "I'm sure you met Sakura in the Growth Section, correct?"
Harry nodded, remembering the purple-haired AI. "Yes, I remember her." He answered,
"Then I don't need to explain fully how your Father and I met," Gusion said, summarizing how he'd met Ritsuka. "Like her, I met the director in a Holy Grail War where I was the master of Rider Gao Chenggong or Prince of Lanling. I was also the Prime AI for the Transfer Section in the System Grail War." The AI of the Transfer Section informed the group.
Harry nodded, seemingly understanding the situation. "Oh, so the System Grail War Sakura and Medusa spoke off is where you Ais Dad recruited." He said, getting a full picture now.
"Yes, just think of me as…a helpful AI." Gusion chuckles at his little joke. "In any case, before you arrive, young master, we have no way to defeat the Alter Ego guarding the Gate to the Repair Section. Also…"
Andersen sighs, informing everyone of their situation. "That bumbling, muscle-headed idiot went up and gone berserk after seeing BB's Sentinels patrolling the grounds." The Author said, indicating there was another from the Storm Border.
"Hmm? What do you mean gone berserk?" Meltryllis asked, looking down at the blue-haired Servant.
Andersen turns around, "What do you expect? He's the only one who goes berserk at any given moment!" He exclaims.
Nero and Tametomo's eyes widen, understanding now what the Caster was referring to. They later sighed, knowing that is exactly what he would do. "Spartacus,"
"Spartacus?" Rogue Pretender questions, knowing she heard that Name before. "Master, do you know that Name?" The red-haired Servant asked her master.
"Spartacus…he was a Roman Slave that fought in Rome's Gladiatorial Arena as a Gladiator," Harry said, knowing that Name. "He's well-known for leading a Rebellion of freed Slaves against the Roman Empire."
"Even without knowing the History, Spartacus is well known for Rebelling against Oppressors," Meltryllis commented, knowing how Spartacus is well known. "Tch, what a nuisance, why did he go up and go Rogue." She said, not wanting to deal with Spartacus.
The young Boy looks at Andersen and Gusion, "Why did Spartacus go rogue? Isn't he a Servant of my Dad?" Harry asked, meeting plenty of Berserkers.
Nero cleared her throat, getting to know Spartacus in the Second Singularity. "Spartacus is a Wild Card. Umu, pretty much he prefers to do whatever he wants without anyone's permission." The Saber stated,
"Yes, once we've arrived Spartacus saw a few of BB's Sentinels and went after them." The blue-haired Caster explains what happened before they arrived at the Transfer Section. "That muscle-head broke the record of causing the most damage upon arriving at the destination in a second." He complains, remembering the broken Platforms Spartacus destroyed in his pursuit.
Harry could only imagine what Spartacus would look like, judging from everyone's reaction he could only think of him as a Large man. "Um, quick question if Spartacus went rogue, how come nobody's doing something about him?" He asked,
"We're keeping a close eye on him; Caligula has been following him since Mr. Andersen came to us," Gusion informed the young master.
"Hmm? Uncle's been keeping an eye on Spartacus?" Nero asked, shocked to hear they sent the Fourth Emperor after the Rebellious Gladiator.
"As in the Fourth Emperor of Rome? The one that the Roman Goddess Diana bestowed Madness onto him?" Harry asked, knowing the Name thanks to Nero's History.
The Saber looks down at Harry, confirming what he knows about him. "Umu, you pretty much got what Uncle's History right, young Prince," Nero said, confirming what he'd said was right. "Though I'm a bit concerned…"
"About what Nero?" Harry asked the Fifth Emperor of Rome.
"Nero is concerned because Caligula is a Berserker Class Servant," Tametomo informed the black-haired Boy of why she was concerned with the situation. "A pairing between two Berserkers most often leads to more destruction than preventing it." The Gundam Archer explains,
Gusion nodded, "Yes, and that said, my Subordinates the Rani-Ts have reported that the two Berserkers met and fought, causing much damage here in Transfer." The AI informed the group what transpired already as they entered the Command room.
Harry looked around, seeing the Command Room was the same as the one in the Growth Section. However, unlike the one in the Growth Section with only Mable; a few more People are working on the consoles.
This scene is exactly what a Command Room would look like when it's filled with enough Personals are present. "So cool…hmm?" Harry looks at the Digital Monitors, similar to the Terminals upon arriving here,
They all display destroyed Security Ais brutally destroyed, some broken roads and Platforms, and some Rani-Ts were showing some Ranis wearing orange Overalls and welding masks with some blowtorches repairing the damages.
Seeing the damages that both Spartacus and Caligula caused, assumingly when they fought.
The Rogue Pretender seems to understand what their mission is. "Ah, so the gist is we're going to find and stop the Berserkers before any more damage to the Transfer Section." The red-haired Servant said, assuming that was the case.
"You are right, Pretender. It was my own mistake to ask Caligula to pursue Spartacus considering the latter's History with Romans." Gusion said, turning to the group of Servants and the young master. "In any case, what's done is done, now we need to figure out how we're going to end this before all of Transfer goes up into dust"
Meltryllis raises her brow at the AI, "So, what is the plan here in dealing with them?" The Alter Ego of Pleasure asked the Prime AI.
"For starters, we need to restrain Spartacus and Caligula before any more damage can be done," Gusion said, pulling up the Map of the Growth Section. "Without the director to utilize Command Seals, I'm afraid we're going to do this the hard way."
"The hard way? As in…" Harry quickly caught on, seeing what the plan here was.
Andersen smirks, "Isolate them and restrain them until they'll calm down. I'll handle the restraining part, I just need-"
Gawain chuckles, offering himself as a restrain similar to how he held Passionlip down in Seraph. "I'll lend my strength, Andersen. I'm the most qualified Knight who has enough strength to do so." The Knight of the Sun said,
Nero nodded, seeing they had one part of the plan done. "Umu, we got Spartacus restraint. Tametomo can you-"
"I'll do it." Rogue Pretender spoke, offering herself to assist too. "I think I can handle a Berserker…"
Aria looks at her fellow Counter Force Servant, hearing what she said. "Ara? Do you think you can take on a Berserker Pretender?" The Rider asked, not doubting her abilities. "But aren't you a bit overconfident?" She asked.
Rogue Pretender nodded, holding her hands up. "Hmm-hmm, I can do it! I know I can." She stated.
Harry smiles before looking at Gusion. "But what about the Gate? We know nothing about it yet-"
"The Gate to the Repair Section? It's guarded by the Alter Ego of Love/Hate, Passionlip." Lev Lainur Gusion informed the young master of who was guarding the Gate. "Though Passionlip is nowhere to be seen and the Gate itself cannot be opened without her."
Meltryllis finds it odd that her fellow Alter Ego left her post, "If Passionlip isn't at the Gate then it means she doesn't want to do this…" The Alter Ego of Pleasure said, "I figured as much, considering she doesn't want to earn master's bad side."
Tametomo closes his eyes, putting his input into the conversation. "Regardless, if we want to access the Repair Section then we have to find Passionlip." The Archer stated, stating the crucial part of this mission.
"But that three separate Servants we need to deal with…both Spartacus and Caligula are together fighting…and locating Passionlip…" Harry ponders, strategizing how this is going to work. However, the only plan that could work out is too…"We need to split our forces to do everything right…"
Tametomo nodded, agreeing with the young master. "Yes, there is a high probability plan of succeeding, young Lord." The Archer said, running his internal calculation system. "Meltryllis and I shall search for Passionlip,"
Meltryllis didn't have any qualms with this setup. "Sure, whatever you say, Archer," The purple-haired Servant said,
"Obviously, me, Gawain, Nero…Aria, was it? And Pretender are going out and begin the search for the Berserkers." Andersen said, getting a bit impatient. "Well? Aren't you going to say something, Boy?" The Fairytale Author asked, looking at Harry.
Harry flinched at Andersen's strict tone of voice. He understands from what he experienced in the last Section. "O-Oh right, right, let's get going everyone!" He said, quickly taking the lead of the group.
The group soon left the Command room after debriefing, Harry walked out of the door looking at the Seraphix Staff working on keeping the Data safe when the Singularity is resolved.
"Young Lord, we'll be setting off. Good luck in finding and subduing the Berserkers." Tametomo said, ready to head to the last location Passionlip was at.
"Better not die when battling those Berserkers," Meltryllis said, waving her limb at the young master.
The two leap in the opposite direction of Harry, heading to the Gate.
Gusion walks over to Harry before he leaves. "Young master, we'll be keeping tabs here in the Hub of the situation." The brown-haired Ai told the young Boy. "We'll update you through your Comms,"
Harry nodded, understanding what Lev Lainur Gusion was saying. "Right, I understand Gusion." He said,
Harry watches as the AI returns to the Hub before being called by Nero. "Young Prince." He looks at the Servants, ready to leave for the last area the Berserkers were in.
"Ready to depart, young master?" Gawain asked, standing beside the Emperor of Roses.
Harry nodded, ready to go. "Yes, I am." He said seeing Aria materializing her Mount.
Aria sat on her giant Fox, smiling at her master. "Harry-sama, please hold onto me and make sure you don't bite your mouth," She smiled, knowing what she was doing.
"Okay," Harry quickly walks over to his Servant, hopping onto the back of the Mount. "Hmm? M-Mr. Andersen?" The young Boy asked the Author.
Andersen sat behind Harry, looking up at him. "You honestly think I can keep up with these strong-headed Servants. Ha, I may be a Servant, but my stamina isn't great compared to the other Servants."
"Umu, let's go, everyone!" Nero cheered, giving a little perking up despite going into a Battle between two unreasonable Servants.
Down at a Platform, loud explosions and bursts of rubble scattered all over the roads.
Many of the Rani-Bs and Ts were running away from the destruction. Crashing down onto the road, a tan Man with dark purple hair wearing golden armor and a red robe wrapping around his body into a cape. His silica was dark with glowing red irises, indicating his madness.
"OOHHHH! SPARTACUS! " The Berserker cried out, glaring at the Servant he was fighting.
"SPARTACUS!" A Large grey-skinned Man with blonde hair and restraints all over his Body came crashing down at his fellow Berserker.
"S-Sparta…cus…" Caligula growls, clenching his fist tightly.
Spartacus grins, standing tall against the Fourth Emperor of Rome. "Roman Oppressor, you dare to stop the embodiment of Rebellion!? Then I Spartacus shall put an end to your cruelty, HAHAHAHAHA!" He rushed in, raising his Sword against the Roman Emperor.
"OOOOOOOHHHHHHH!" Caligula rushed in, attacking the Wild Card of Chaldea. He propels his fist, punching Spartacus's chest and propelling him back.
Spartacus's feet clenched on the Digital ground; he then looked up at laughed. "YES, YES! YOUR LOVE SHALL BE MY POWER!" He ran up to the purple-haired Berserker, smashing at him.
"HAHAHAHAHA! MORE, MORE! HAHAHAHA!" Spartacus exclaims, slashing his Sword at Caligula. "DEATH TO ALL OPPRESSORS!"
"OOOOHHHHHHHH! NEROOOOO!" The Roman Emperor roared, leaping from the Digital ground, and creating a small crater.
The two Berserkers slammed into each other, the latter slamming the Rebel into a Building and continuing their brawl.
Just nearby where both Spartacus and Caligula were fighting, Harry and the Servants were heading to the last location where the reports spotted the Berserkers.
Suddenly, a beeping sound caught Harry's attention. "O-Oh, um…how do I do this?" He asked, looking at his Spirit Origin Watch connected to his Commlink.
"Just the button on your Watch," Andersen assisted Harry on how to answer the beeping.
Harry nodded, pressing the button and answering whoever was contacting him. "Hello?" He answered,
The young Boy flinched, seeing a Hologram of Mable appear on his Watch. "M-Ms. Macintosh! I wasn't expecting you to call." Harry said, looking at the miniature version of the brunette Woman.
-ZZZ- Hello? Harry is that you? Finally, I managed to get through! -ZZZ- Mable exclaims, doing a little celebration before getting to the point. -ZZZ- I should thank Lev Lainur Gusion later, in any case, Harry Gusion is busy with Meltryllis and Tametomo tracking down Passionlip. Anyways, I'll be assisting you during your time here.-ZZZ-
"Oh, thank you, Ms. Macintosh," Harry said, finding this helpful since she's at her own Console in the Growth Section.
-ZZZ- Anyways, Gusion wanted me to relay this message. He received more reports of both Caligula and Spartacus still fighting in the direction you're heading. -ZZZ- Mable informed Harry where the two were. -ZZZ- They don't seem to be using a lot of Magical Energy, which means they're not using their Noble Phantasms.-ZZZ-
Gawain overheard the Seraphix Researcher, relieved they weren't heading to a Gladiatorial fest. "That's good, I don't want the young master to be caught in that." The Knight of the Sun stated,
"That being said, we cannot blame them. They're Berserkers, they couldn't help but succumb to their Madness Enhancement." The Rogue Pretender said, a common knowledge to all Servants.
Everyone agreed, continuing their path to the Berserkers. They passed through the rubble left behind from the Berserkers' fight.
Harry looks to the side of Aria's Mount, seeing some Rani-Bs already starting repairs on the Highways. "The Berserkers did all this?" He asked, never seeing two Berserkers actually fight without his Father restraining them.
"Umu, that's why we need to stop them," Nero then saw something flying out of a Building. "Hmm? Mable. Can you confirm what was going on before us?" The Roman Emperor asked the brunette Researcher.
Mable checked her Console on the request of the Roman Emperor, -ZZZ- Ah! These are two Berserker Spirit Origins! They're Spartacus and Caligula!-ZZZ- The Seraphix Researcher exclaims, reading the Data.
"We found them!" Harry exclaims as the group all descends to a Platform. Upon landing, Caligula crashes before them, prompting the Servants to protect Harry from the debris.
"AAAAGGGGGGHHHHHH!" Harry saw Caligula leap back as a Second, assuming to be Spartacus crashing down from the sky.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! COME ROMAN OPERSSOR, SHOW ME YOUR LOVE! HAHAHAHA!" Spartacus laughs out loud as Caligula dashed for him.
"RRRRRRROOOOOMMMMMAAAAAAA!" Caligula pulls back his arm and propels his fist at the Rebel.
Spartacus dropped his Sword and proceeded to go fist-to-fist with the Fourth Emperor of Rome. "ORA, ORA, ORA! HAHAHAHA!" The Berserker laughs, enjoying this Batte.
Harry couldn't believe his eyes, the raw power, the muscles they had, and the lack of concern for the surrounding area. These two were the definition of a Berserker Class Servant. "T-These two…they don't seem to stop despite causing a lot of damage to the Platform. Hmm? Mr. Andersen?" He looks at the Author, feeling him shifting at the back.
Andersen got off of the Mount, materializing his book and quill. "Boy, stay on the Fox; Aria keep him away from us in the meantime." The blue-haired Caster said,
"Right, be sure to watch carefully. This is the best learning experience for you, young master." Gawain smiles, materializing his Galatine in his hands.
"R-Right, I understand Sir Gawain." Harry said, following what the Knight he admires words. He then looks at his own Servants, giving them words of confidence. "You two do your best to help out,"
Aria nodded, following her master's orders. "Hai, Harry-sama." The Divided Spirit took out some Talismans and ready herself to support the Attackers.
Rogue Pretender smiles, readying herself to intercept the Berserkers. "I'm ready as I ever be, master!" The red-haired Servant responded,
"Umu, then follow our lead!" Nero announced, rushing in with Gawain and Rogue Pretender following behind her.
Aria tosses her Talismans, providing some Healing, Strength, and Endurance Buffs to the Servants.
Harry looks at Andersen, seeing if he's going to add some more Buffs. "Are you going to do something, Mr. Andersen?" He asked the Fairytale Author.
"Hmph, I need inspiration first. I'm using this bout as an inspiration for later." Andersen said, looking at the Battle and began writing what transpired. "My Spells are third-rate as it is. Everything is dependent on my Noble Phantasm…given my mood…"
"What's that supposed to mean?" Harry asked before the Caster turned his head to him.
Andersen raised his brow, "Weren't you supposed to be observing the Battle, Boy?" He asked the Heir of Chaldea.
"O-Oh, yeah," Harry quickly turns his head, seeing the beginning of the Battle already on its way.
"HA!" Gawain leaps in the air, and his Holy Sword bursts into Flames. He slashed between both Caligula and Spartacus, "Nero, Pretender, now!"
"AH YES! OPPRESSORS YOU FINALLY SHOWN YOURSELVES!" Spartacus announced, seeing his fellow Chaldean Servants appearing,
Caligula dragged his feet on the Digital ground, "AAAAAHHHHH-" The Fourth Emperor froze, seeing her Neice appearing before him. "N-N-e…ro…"
"Uncle! Stop this Battle!" Nero called out to her Uncle to stop fighting the Rebel. "The young Prince is watching!" She motions to Harry sitting on Aria's Mount.
The Roman Emperor ceased his Attack, seeing the young master. "P-Prin…ce…of…Chald…ea…" Caligula moans, feeling embarrassed that his master's Son seen him in a less ideal place for a first expression.
At the other side of the Platform, Gawain looks at Spartacus, "Spartacus, the young master is here and-"
"AHAHAHAHAHA! SO THERE'S MORE OPPRESSORS! WHERE!? WHERE!?" Spartacus looks around before seeing two Servants all the way at the edge. "THERE YOU ARE YOU WICKED OPPRESSORS! I SPARTACUS WILL BRING DEATH TO YOU ALL!" The Berserker roared, rushing over to where Harry and the other Servants were.
Gawain swiftly turns to the others, seeing the Rebellious Gladiator. "Andersen, Aria! Heads up, Spartacus is not listening to reason!" The blonde Saber warns the others.
"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Spartacus laughs, running towards where Harry was.
"Shit, he's really running towards us," Andersen said, not really in the mood to defend Harry, however, he must do it. "Damn that muscle-head…"
"Harry-sama, be sure to hold tight on me in case we need to leave-"
Harry shook his head at his Rider Servant, "No, I know we're going to be okay, Aria." He said, seeing the Berserker getting close to them.
"AHAHAHAHAHA! DEATH TO ALL OPPRESSORS!" Spartacus raises his arms, ready to propel his fist, not realizing who he's attacking.
Just when Spartacus was about to attack, something blocked his punch. "Ngh…such an unexpected turnabout." The blonde Berserker struggles to push forward, "You little Oppressor who's holding me back…I can see your resolve, using big Stoney Gauntlets you make a fine Rebel." He smiles,
Rogue Pretender smiles, her arms were now covered with Stoney Gauntlets, holding the Berserker back. "I'll take that as a compliment, Berserker."
