AN: I was going to let the story play out but I understand some of what you're saying about the Anti-Secession Faction's motives. Ritsuka was giving his Servants the benefit of the doubt to be accepting of Harry. However, once they resolve this singularity, he'll address this problem to everyone. As for Sirius, he'd already agreed that Harry was much safer with Ritsuka and Chaldea in Russia than with him where he basically is now once again wanted criminal due to his disappearance.

Control Section
BB sat before the monitors, watching as Harry and the others made it past the Build Section Gate. "Well, color me surprised. Kouhai has really defeated Limbo like that." The Moon Cancer frowns, seeing he is getting closer to where she is.
Hideyasu looks at the purple-haired AI, smirking at her. "Seems like the director's Son is proving to be a well-trained master. Your hard work here will be over soon." The director of Seraphix commented, happy to see Harry was getting the experience he needed to be a master.
"Limbo is on his side regardless; he prefers supporting others rather than going against them. Even being an Enemy to make them see they have the potential to do great things." BB retorted, folding her fingers together as she watched the monitors. "However, these two are the most difficult to convince. Kouhai needs a miracle to even defeat them…" She smirks.
Build Section
Unlike the other Sections, where the Growth Section was Farmland, the Transfer Section was a Highway/Storage Units, or the Repair Section resembling Fuyuki, all were outsideish.
The Build Section was built differently than the previous Sections. It was indoors, built like a Mechanic's Garage mixed with some Factory Machines and conveyor belts.
On the conveyor belts were Engines, metal plating, Wings, and other Machinery for Chaldean Vehicles. On the sides of the conveyor belts were Machinery Arms either piecing together other pieces or melding metals together.
Pretty much the Build Section was like a huge Factory like in the Star Wars movies.
"Merlin…" Sirius looked around the Factory, seeing it extend to the ceiling. "It's like a giant Droid Factory in those Star Wars Films." The shaggy-haired Wizard commented, seeing this Section was like the Droid Factory.
Harry nodded, agreeing with his Grandfather/Godfather. He has seen those Movies, and it was the best to describe this place. "Yeah, there's so many Ships here, is this what you're talking about when you say it's where Prototypes are kept, Mom?" He looks at his Mother, standing next to him.
"Yes, the Build Section is an amazing place but it's still dangerous." Mashu looked forward, pointing to the Mechanical Arms doing their jobs while the Rani-Bs were connecting the finished pieces to the Vehicles. "This is still a Factory filled with Machinery, it's not safe for you, Harry-kun. Stay close to me or anyone here," She said, wanting Harry to be careful around the Build Section.
Harry nodded, continuing to look around the Build Section. "So, I take it we're meeting with the Build Section's Prime AI then?" He asked, seeing the Rani-Bs waving at them,
"Hmmm…I wouldn't count on that, young master." Ashyia said, smirking at the black-haired Boy.
Harry looks at the Alter Ego, wondering what he means. "Huh? So there's no Prime AI here in the Build Section?" He asked the group.
"Umu, I don't know why but Preator has some bad experiences in the Build Section during the Papermoon Grail War." Nero explains to the young master, "I believe it's something to do with a former Enemy reappearing?" The Roman Emperor said, trying to remember the records.
Vlad III (Extra) nodded, knowing what everyone was talking about. "Ah, yes, I read about that Ordeal Call. It was a Holy Grail War regarding the Alter Ego Servants," The Lancer explains to the young master. "Among the Seven masters, one specific one has shown up twice in the Fourth Singularity and one in the Ordeal Calls."
Sirius looks at the gray-haired Lancer, hearing what the Servants were talking about. "Huh? Was there someone giving trouble to Ritsuka?" He asked, not liking whoever messed with his Son.
"Ano, Black-san, we don't need to worry about Zouken Matou/Makiri Zolgen isn't around," Mashu said, remembering the blue-haired Magus in London.
"Are you sure?" Sirius asked, couldn't help but worry about his Son. Especially if said Person might go after Harry.
Mashu nodded, ensuring her Father-in-Law that there was nothing to worry about. "So, who's in charge of the Build Section? The other Sections were run by Prime Ais; so shouldn't the Build Section have one too?" Harry asked his Mother.
The violet-haired Woman looks at her Son with some concern on her face. "Well…there is someone here…who's rather…questionable. Harry-kun, I did mention you should stay close to us." Mashu said, informing her Son to be careful here.
"You're sugarcoating this Mashu. Though he may say he will not participate in his immoral deeds," Andersen looks at Harry, "He is not to be trusted unless you're very experienced and know how to get around him." The Fairytale Author said, giving a warning to Harry.
"That's less reassuring…" Harry deflates, getting a bit worried about meeting who's in charge of the Build Section.
Mashu turns to the Caster Servant, not wanting to make her Son worried. "Andersen-san, please don't make Harry-kun scared-"
"Oh yes, the Lady is right. I may be morally depraved, but I do know my limits." A new voice entered the conversation, causing Harry and Sirius to jump,
Standing behind them was a gray-skinned Man with greasy, slicked-back hair wearing dark robes with metal adornments on his robes. His nails were sharp similar to Werewolves, his eyes were looking in different directions.
Gilles de Rais, the questionable Caster that was placed in charge of the Build Section. Not even Ritsuka knows why BB suggested he be placed in charge of here,
"Mmmm… what a pleasant surprise!" Douman turns to the Caster Servant, greeting him like a colleague. "I didn't expect you to come up and greet us, Gilles,"
"Lord Limbo, my old chummy-chum! I heard that you were here acting as BB's Sentinels." Gilles de Rais said, replying to the Alter Ego's statement. His eyes turned to Harry, causing him to gasp.
Harry flinched, causing Rogue Pretender to step in front of him. "Master, stand back! This Servant is-"
"Oh, OOOHHHH! WHAT A GLORIOUS DAY!" Gilles de Rais cried out, receiving a confused expression from everyone. The Caster bowed his head to Harry and grinned. "It's truly an honor to finally meet the Heir of Chaldea! Greetings young master, I am Gilles de Rais, a Caster." He approached Harry, trying to reach for his hand.
Harry's eyes widen, hearing that Name before. "Y-You're Gilles de Rais? The Marshal of France who fought beside Jeanne D'Arc during the Hundred Years War." He said, getting a bit nervous since it's the Demon Marshal. "A-And you also committed cruel deeds and Black Magic that inspired the French Folktale Bluebeard after Jeanne's burning."
Gilles closed his eyes as he reached for a shake. "Ah, the rumors were true! Mmm, you are smarter than you look." He said with a smile, seeing Chaldea in good hands. "It's so wonderful to see master and Lady Mashu have their dreams of a Family come true." The Caster said, only to be cut off by Vlad III (Extra)'s Lance.
"Sir Gilles de Rais do refrain from getting near the young Lord," Vlad III (Extra) said, reminding the Demon Marshal of his…orders. "Despite your so-called reformation, you still-"
"Of course, of course, I'll keep my distance, Lord Impaler." Gilles looks at Harry, giving him an apologetic face. "My apologies,"
Mashu gave a wary smile at Gilles, "I-Its alright, Gilles-san. I know you won't harm Harry-kun." She said, placing her faith in her Husband's hands when he talked to Gilles.
The Demon Marshal looks at Harry once again, placing his hand on his chest. "Young master, know that I am one of your many supporters, and if you ever need my assistance, I promise to show you the greatest COOL you have ever seen!" Gilles promised, looking forward to that Day to come.
Sirius coughs, causing everyone to look at him. "G-Gillies de Rais, the Muggle that the Dark Wizard Francois Prelati taught Magic to!? I think I'm going to be more open on who's serving my Son now." The black-haired Wizard said, not being surprised anymore by who's in Chaldea.
"Well, what do we have here? The Father of my own beloved master?" Gilles de Rais asked, inclining his head to the Wizard. "It's also a pleasure to meet the Person who's responsible for bringing our master to this World. Grail knows what we would do if master wasn't around to tame us."
Sirius could only nod, still being skeptical about a dangerous Person serving Chaldea. Much like how feels about Ashyia Douman; giving much thought, he wants to confirm something with Ritsuka.
"Gilles-san," Mashu spoke, causing the Caster to look at him. "I don't mean to be rude, but what are you doing here? It's not to greet us, you'll do it when we eventually get to the Hub." The former Demi-Servant said, asking what the Demon Marshal was doing.
"Unfortunately no, this isn't a pleasant greeting." Gilles de Rais said, informing the group of the situation. "My coming here is for a warning. You see, the Avenger Ushi Gozen has taken the Gate to the Keep Section. I could only do so much as a Caster, it's fortunate that Kama was here to assist me." The Demon Marshal said,
"Kama?" Harry asked, curious who the Person who helped Gilles was.
Nero looks at Harry, informing him who Kama is. "Kama, an Assassin is one of the Servants that was present in Briefing Room Two before the Rayshift. She's the second to last Servant that was gathered for the Singularity." The Roman Emperor explains to the young master.
"So, where is Kama right now?" Harry continued, wondering where she could be.
"Easy, she's dealing with no other than Ushi Gozen at the Gate," Gilles informed the group,
"U-USHI GOZEN!?" Both Sirius and Mashu exclaim, knowing who the Servant is.
Keep Section Gate
At the Keep Section Gate, Arrows were shot from a singular point as a purple-haired Woman wearing black Armor slashed away the Arrows.
"Hup!" Ushi Gozen, the Demonic Blood of the Leader of the Four Heavenly Kings leaped in the air. She held her Katanas high before slashing at the Divine Spirit.
A Woman with white hair and pale skin, wearing a dark Pink and pink dress with golden petal plating armor and a red ribbon dodges the Attack. "Ngh!"
She pulled back her Bow, releasing many Arrows as blue Flames came after it. "Tch, just great out of everyone in Seraphix, I had to be stuck with you." Kamadeva or Kama/Mara the Hindu Deity of Love and the Demon Lord of Lust/ Beast III/L said, glaring at the Avenger Servant.
"What now? Starting to regret calling me out, Kamadeva?" Ushi Gozen asked, standing above the Flames, "I told you before, I have no interest in fighting you. However, if you continue to stand in my way, then I will deem you supporting the young master." The Avenger stated.
"Ha, like I care who'll take over Chaldea one Day. I much prefer not to get involved with this whole Succession shit." Kama said, clearly on the Neutral side of this conflict. "I only follow what master believes is right." She said, ready to continue the fight.
"If you stand in what master's way, then as his Servant I'm sure you understand," Kama said, commanding blue Flames to Attack the Oni Blood of Raikou.
Ushi Gozen frowns underneath her mask, preparing to Attack. "Very well, if that's what you wish then so be it." The Avenger raised her Blades, dashing into the Divine Flames. "The Child shall not inherit a position where he'll be harmed!"
Running through the Build Section, Sirius looks at Mashu and the others having some questions. "Q-Quick question, if we're going to face Ushi Gozen, the Cursed Child of the God Gozu Tennou and Brother of the Leader of the Four Heavenly Kings Minamoto-no-Raikou. Might I remind you who was their Enemy and had said to be ruthless, how exactly we're going to defeat him?" The Wizard asked, getting real concern with someone like Ushi Gozen.
"Her," Ashyia Douman corrected Sirius's misinformation. "Ushi Gozen is Female, much like Minamoto-no-Raikou. As for your information, Ushi Gozen isn't the Brother of Raikou." The Alter Ego said, having a personal History with the Minamoto Clan.
"She's the Oni Blood that flows through Minamoto-no-Raikou; somewhat an Alter Ego. Raikou-san and her Heavenly Kings sealed away Ushi Gozen." Mashu informed her Father-in-Law about who Ushi Gozen was. "If Kama-san is truly fighting her, then we could stand a chance."
"Kama or Kamadeva the Hindu God or in this case, Goddess of Love who was tasked to make Shiva fall in Love with Parvati to sire a powerful Child." Andersen continued, knowing Sirius or Harry would ask who she was. "She's also Mara, the Hindu Demon of Death in Buddhism. Kama/Mara became a Divided Spirit due to the events of the Fourth Lostbelt. She's also a Beast, the other half of Beast III. Beast III/R."
Harry looks at Andersen, hearing the little information about the Assassin/Beast. "Does that mean she's on our side here in Seraphix?" He asked, wanting to be sure.
"Umu, Kama was called by the Storm Border. Naturally, she'll obey Preator, no matter the task is." Nero explained to the young master. "I have to say, all Seven of us make a one unique group of Servants. Umu, am I right, young Prince?"
Harry nodded, agreeing with the Emperor of Roses. "Yeah,"
Soon enough, they saw a few Rani-Bs leaving the Hub area of the Build Section. "S-Sir," One of the Rani-Bs approaches the group, seeing Gilles among them. "U-Ushi Gozen and Kama are Battling at the Gate to the Keep Section."
Gilles nodded, looking back at where the other Ais were heading. "Join up with the others my dear. We'll handle the two fighting." The Caster said, ensuring things will be okay in the end.
Mashu smiled at the Rani-B, "Just be sure not to get too close to the Battle, alright?" She asked the Ai.
"Of course, my Lady." The Rani-B quickly joined the other Ais, getting away from the Battle.
Mashu turns to the group, discussing a plan of action. "Okay, our Opponent is a Divine Level Class Servant. Much like Raikou-san, Ushi Gozen-san is very powerful; the only way to defeat her is to use brute strength." She looks at Harry, knowing they have just gotten out of a Battle prior to coming here. "Harry-kun, I know you've endured much in the last Section. But can you handle the next one?" She asked, wanting to be sure.
Harry ponders, thinking about what his Mother said to him. He felt Sirius's hand on his shoulder, prompting him to look up. "There's no pressure here, Harry. The choice is yours to make." The shaggy-haired Wizard said, not wanting to put Harry in the spotlight like that.
Rogue Pretender nodded, "Yes, whatever you choose master we'll support you."
"There's no shame if you're not ready to face another Battle." Vlad III (Extra) said, knowing very well being tired won't do any Leader if they're tired. "A Leader knows when it's time to fight and when it's time to rest."
Harry listened to both his Grandfather/Godfather and the Lord of Impalement. The young Heir ponders, thinking over the situation for a moment. Seeing that Kama was the only Servant who was fighting against Ushi Gozen, she must be tired. "Okay, let's back up Kama everyone!"
"Hmm…an interesting plan. But I understand your reasoning." Ashyia said, nodding to what Harry said. "Very well, if that's what you want then the only thing we could do is to support you. Am I right?" The Alter Ego asked the Servants around him.
"Umu, of course." Nero agrees, materializing her Sword.
"Like master, the young Lord's words are our Command." Vlad III (Extra) said, readying his Spear.
Andersen sighed, already giving his answer when he met Harry. "We all decided to come along to the young master's aid. We can't back out now." The Author said,
"All you do is write in your book. What sorta help is that?" Sirius looks down at the Fairytale Author who's always writing in his Book.
Andersen sighs, looking back at the shaggy-haired Wizard. "I'm working on my manuscript. It'll be useful when the time comes." He said, continuing to write in his Book.
Sirius raised his brow, not too sure if writing could help anyone. "Well, I saw things today that seem impossible. Who knows, it might be helpful in the long run." The Wizard said,
Gilles de Rais smiles, placing his hand on his chin. "I am curious what the young master's like on the Field of Battle." The Demon Marshal said, wondering what Harry was like on the Battlefield. "If I may, I can offer some advice on how to…swiftly deal with Enemies, young master."
"Not gonna happen." Rogue Pretender said, not liking how the Caster speaks. "I don't know why, but I don't like how you're speaking to my master like that." The red-haired Servant said, defending her master from the Demon Marshal.
"OHHH! What fierceness you have over the young master!" Gilles dramatically said, smiling at the Pretender. "Seems the young master truly become a master if he made a Contract with you, Rogue Servant."
The red-haired Servant glared at the Caster before her. "It's Pretender, don't forget that."
Harry giggled, seeing his Servant interacting with the Knight who served alongside the Saint of the Flag. He looks forward, seeing a fight just up ahead.
Keep Section Gate
"Why do you keep fighting!?" Ushi Gozen asked the Divided Spirit, "You have stated that you're not interested in the affairs of Chaldea and yet you fight against what I'm doing!" The Avenger slashed at Kama,
Kama blocked the Attack with her Bow before leaping in the air, "Sei!" She shot three Sugarcane Arrows, only for Ushi Gozen to slash away.
The Avenger leaps forward, ushing her floating side armors as stepping stools.
"Clearly, you didn't hear my answer before." The Beast of Lust said, snapping her fingers to create a wall of Flames to block the Avenger's Path.
Ushi Gozen halted, glaring at the Divided Spirit floating above her. "If master and Mashu wanted a Kid, then let them have it," Kama said, shooting Arrows at her. "It doesn't matter what you and your other Anti-Succession Faction Servants think."
"UGH!" Ushi Gozen demanded, slamming the Arrows away from her.
"All that matters is that master and Mashu will raise that Brat to be a proper master," Kama said, shooting more Arrows with Flames following next. "And as his Servants, it's our job to support that."
Ushi Gozen roared, not wanting to hear any more of what Kama had to say. "A Child? Taking on the responsibility of protecting Humanity!? The very same position where he'll surely be in pain!" The Avenger asked, "He'll be rejected by Society, the very Humanity he will swear to protect! I will not stand idly by and watch as the Child becomes our Liege!" She roared, leaping in the air as she spun around.
Kama clicked her tongue as she used her Flames to block the strike. "Ngh!" She was pushed back, struggling to stand against the ongoing Attack.
Ushi Gozen activated her Black Flames to counter the Assassin's Flames.
"NGH!" Kama tried to push the Avenger back, however, she wasn't strong enough to defend against her rage. "GAH!" The Assassin was blown back, landing on the ground.
The Beast of Lust grunted once she hit the Digital ground. She turned and faced Ushi Gozen, who was now standing above her. Kama transformed into her Child form due to the weak state she was in. "Just wait, master will be pissed at you once he hears what you're doing," Kama said,
"It doesn't matter what our Liege will do to me." Ushi Gozen said, glaring down at the Divided Spirit. "If earning his ire means that the Child is protected from being rejected. Especially when it comes to the use of the Weapon that gave our Liege the Black Stain in his Soul, then it'll be fine-"
"SEI!" Mashu came in, ushing her boosters to bash her Shield into Ushi Gozen, propelling her back. "Kama-san, are you alright?" She asked the Assassin Servant.
Kama looked up, seeing Mashu standing next to her. "Mashu? You're here alright?' She asked before frowning. "About time, I wasn't too sure if I could take much of Ushi Gozen."
Ushi Gozen stood on her feet after recovering from that bash. "M-Mashu-dono, what a pleasant surprise." The Avenger greeted the former Demi-Servant. "To think you would show yourself-" She paused, seeing the Child she worked hard to scare away coming to Kama's aid. "N-No…why is he here?" She asked, gripping her Katanas.
"Are you alright?" Kama looks back, seeing the black-haired Boy approach her.
"So you're the young master everyone's talking about," Kama said, chuckling at how similar he looks to her master. 'It's a good thing I reverted to my younger self.' She thought, having a thought race in her mind.
Harry held the Assassin, helping her sit up. "Here, let me help you up." He said, assisting the Servant. "Take it easy," He said softly,
"Merlin, a Child like you was fighting Ushi Gozen-wait," Sirius came up to the scene, looking at both Servants. "That's Ushi Gozen!? She looks like a Teenager!" The Wizard said, picturing a big muscley Female to be the Cursed Child of Gozu Tennou.
Douman appeared next to Sirius, smiling at the sight. "Oh yes, during Raikou's Teenage years, that is when her Ushi Gozen side was more active. It was a real problem back when," The Alter Ego said,
Ushi Gozen growls, seeing the young Boy didn't run away from Kagekiyo's attack. "So, you didn't run when Tiara-no-Kagekiyo attacked you." She huffs, hoping that her fellow Avenger will scare her away. "Clearly, you inherited your Father's stubbornness." She was about to dash forward when Sea Fiends appeared from the metal ground.
"GAH!" Ushi Gozen yelped, glaring up to see Gilles de Rais raising his hand with his Spellbook.
"Hmmm…sorry, but your Anti-Faction play here is done," Gillies stated, being joined by Nero, Rogue Pretender, and Vlad III (Extra) ready to face her. "Go tell BB to fuck herself for all I care."
"I'm not running away anymore," Harry stated, standing with Kama in his hands. "It doesn't matter if you oppose me or not. I will overcome you and anyone on the Anti-Succession Faction because I know there are People here to support me." He looks around, smiling at everyone gathered with him.
Sirius and Mashu smiled back at Harry, and so did everyone who supported him. "Grail, I thought he was a Kid who got roped into this situation," Kama commented before chuckling at how wrong she was. "Guess that what you experienced here in Seraphix changed you."
"Umu, you're right on that, Kama." Nero smiled before hearing Ushi Gozen starting to laugh.
Everyone turn their attention to Ushi Gozen, chuckling at what Harry said. "Heh…heh…heheheheheh….HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" The Avenger held her face, bellowing at the words spoken.
"Um…why is she laughing? I don't like that laughing…" Sirius said, getting chills from the Demon Blood of Raikou.
"Why, why, why, why, why…" Ushi Gozen glared at Harry, resenting the fact he was determined to go through with becoming the master of Chaldea. "WHY ARE YOU SO DETERMINED TO BECOME THE MASTER OF CHALDEA. YOU SHOULD KNOW, I'M TRYING TO SAVE YOUR SOUL!" The Avenger exclaims.
"If you don't see what I'm trying to do…" Ushi Gozen slashed through the Sea Fiends, leaping in the air to Attack. "Then I'll make you see!"
AN: So the next chapter will be another Summoning like Hassan; please leave a comment or review, Guess who it might be to face Ushi Gozen.
