AN: Enjoy the chapter.
Ch 53 The Beginning of the End Pt 4
Third Front
"Heh, fire!"
Bullets and Grenades were shot and launched at Sefar, Koyanskaya now wearing her white Outfit with a mirror pink Weapons surrounding it. "That's it, forget to reload your Weapons. Toss them and come to get new ones, already loaded and ready to use." The Goddess of Weaponry stated, allowing the Resistance Soldiers to use her Weapons to fend off the White Titan.
The Resistance Soldiers all took Weapons from the Alter Ego, all using them against the Enemy.
"Follow me, Soldiers! Destroy the one who threatens your Home! ORA!" Rani VIII gave a War Cry, using her Khadgas to slash at the Calamity.
Chat Noir saw everyone in the Resistance pick up Weapons from Koyanskaya's personal Armory. "Everyone, everyone is still fighting despite things that are beyond their limits. And yet they're still fighting…why?" He asked everyone, wondering why the Parisians of the Lostbelt were still fighting where their Home was already destroyed.
"They're fighting because they felt the People of the Present still have a chance to continue where they have diverged. When the Eternal Empire didn't exist," Ritsuka said, understanding the Lostbelt Parisians' motives in fighting. "But what I still don't get is why everyone, especially those in despair, is joining the fight."
"That's because of us," The two masters turn to the two small Assassins who made Marinette's Parent's Bakery into a Bar. "We told everyone that it was the last call and that there were no more Drinks after the Eternal Palace falls." The pink-haired Assassin said,
The mint-haired Assassin crossed her arms, "Sister basically said that, look at the People fighting for what remains of their Future. If you want to continue to Drink, then help the Chaldeans and the Resistance in fighting to save Humanity." The young Boy stated, saying what his Sisters said to their tenants.
Ritsuka looks at the two, appreciating their help in rallying everyone. However, one question remains, "We never got to know you two, you were collaborating with everyone here and yet you two don't participate in the conflict." The Magus said,
"Heh, what a bold statement you just said, master of Chaldea." The pink-haired Assassin stated, smirking at him. She crossed her arms, waving at what he said. "We've done what we can when the Counter Force Servants were still around. Both my Brother and I are satisfied with how things worked out,"
Koyanskaya's eyes shifted to the Two Assassins, standing with her master and Hero of Destruction. "Sefar's awakening is what you two are satisfied with?" the Alter Ego asked the two, receiving a shrug from them. "Well, I'll take that as a maybe."
The mint-haired Servant looks at the Beast next to them. "It's not like Sefar's awakening was the ending we want." The Assassin stated, looking at the White Titian being halted by their Barrage. "If anything, Sister was looking forward to you Chaldeans defeating the Anomaly master before the White Titian wakes. But…"
"Oi, keep quiet Cesare. I don't need you to tell them what I'm feeling." The pink-haired Servant scolded her Brother for speaking something he was not supposed to share.
"Cesare? That's your True Name, Assassin?" Chat Noir asked the small mint-haired Servant next to him.
Cesare gazes over to his Sister to accidentally reveal his True Name. "And what was that about telling them something that shouldn't be told, Lucrezia?" The mint-haired Assassin asked,
Ritsuka's eyes perked up, hearing the two calling each other by their True Names. "Cesare and Lucrezia? As in the Borgia Siblings the Children of Pope Alexander VI?" The Magus asked recognizing the Names.
"Weren't they famous for manipulating the Politicians and People with Power?" Chat Noir asked the master of Chaldea, knowing a bit about them.
Ritsuka nodded, quickly explaining who the Assassins were to the Hero of Destruction. "Cesare, the Eldest, who was the right hand of his Father the Pope, and with the rank of Archbishop had wielded Authority both within and without the Holy See. Lucrezia, the younger, who was armed with her beauty had Married over and over into Political advantage."
Lucrezia Borgia smiles, happy to hear their Infamous deeds were able to exceed in the Modern Age. "My, glad to hear my beauty is still well known to this Day." The pink-haired Assassin waved her hand. "My Brother on the other hand is already Famous due to Father."
Cesare Borgia scoffs, smirking at his Sister. "At least I got that over you, Sister." The mint-haired Assassin commented,
"If you're done talking about who these Brats are, we still have the Battle to complete-" Koyanskaya announced to the two masters, still firing all Weaponry she has at Sefar.
"R-Right, right, sorry Koyanskaya." Chat Noir apologizes to the Alter Ego,
Rani cried out, using her Weapons to Attack Sefar's Body. However, her Khadgas didn't even scratch her.
Leaping back to the Front. "My Khadgas aren't laying a scratch on her Body!" Rani exclaims, holding her Weapons tightly. "Master, I'm going to release my Noble Phantasm!" The Berserker stated, increasing her Magical Energy and ready to release her Noble Phantasm.
Ritsuka held his hand, hearing what the Counter Force Servant said. "Wait, Rani!" He tried to say something, knowing the truth about her Servant form.
"AAAAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHH! My fury shall not be extinguished!"
Rani leaps in the air as a second pair of arms projected themselves from her back.
"Any army who dares stand in my way shall learn my wrath!"
Rani leaps in the air, raising both her Khadgas and using her second pair of arms with Hindu Weapons of Legends. "Strike thy Demon and drink thy blood! Killing Strike of Rage!"
Everyone watches as the Divine Spirit leaps over to the White Titian. Rani's Boody and about to slash at her, only to have Sefar retaliate by releasing a barrage of White Beams at the Front.
The Beam scattered around, screams and cries of pain echoed throughout the Front. Rani's eyes widened, halting her Attacks as she proceeded to find cover.
"Fujimaru!" Koyanskaya materialized a pink box, tossing it over to the Chaldean master and Hero of Destruction. She then tosses more of her bunker Shields, protecting whoever she can save from the attack.
"Koyanskaya!" Ritsuka exclaims, seeing the Box begin to change into a bunker Shield to protect the two of them and the Servants with them.
Charlie grabs hold of his Grandson as BB adds her own Shadows to add an extra layer of protection from Sefar's Attack.
The loud bombardment and screaming ceased after a while, prompting Chat Noir to look in front of the bunker Shield. His eyes widen, seeing the Third Front decimated, leaving a few survivors and the Servants stationed here.
Looking around Chat Noir couldn't help but feel useless. However he has to keep it in, he has to follow the plan they have set. Ritsuka was already gone, setting out to help the Resistance Soldiers.
-ZZZ- Sefar is beginning to recover! -ZZZ- Ginny exclaims through the Commlinks, -ZZZ- You guys need to continue holding her back, we're still at Sixty Percent done with the Rayproof! -ZZZ-
"R-Right," Chat Noir responded, looking for Ritsuka who was already helping a few Soldiers who got hit in the blast. "Ritsuka!" The blonde Hero quickly approaches the Foreign master.
Ritsuka turns around, having one Person in his arms while Lucrezia and Cesare are heading towards him. "Chat Noir, is there a problem?"
"Your People," Chat Noir huffs, looking at the black-haired Magus. "They said they need more time to set up for the Rayproof!" The Hero of Destruction informed him.
"Right, I understand." Ritsuka placed the Soldier's arm over his shoulders. "However, we need to get these People out of here,"
Chat nodded, understanding what needed to be done. However, he could also hear Sefar crying as she recovered from her wounds. "But what about Sefar? She's most likely already Healed her Wounds by now."
Crashing right between both Ritsuka and Chat Noir, Rani looks up, able to dodge the White Titian's Attack. "I'll hold her off! For I am Kali, the Goddess of Destruction and-"
"Rani!" The violet-haired Berserker looks at the master of Chaldea, hearing him calling her Vessel's Name. "You're not Kali, I know for a fact that you're not her," Ritsuka spoke up, looking at the Pseudo-Servant.
"O-Oi, Ritsuka what are you saying!?" The Hero of Destruction asked his Ally, "Rani is definitely Kali. Who else has this raw Power in Hindu Mythology?" Chat Noir asked the master of Chaldea.
Ritsuka ponders, quickly thinking who else has the power similar to the Goddess of Destruction. -ZZZ- If I may, I've been combing Chaldea's Records on Hindu Mythology on your behalf Mr. Fujimaru. -ZZZ- Holmes came on the comms, informing the group.
-ZZZ- Holmes, we have no time to play your games. -ZZZ- Goldolf scolded the Detective. -ZZZ- Get to the point and return to preparing the Ray Barrel! -ZZZ- The Vice Commander said returning to overseeing the preparations on his end.
"As much I like to hear your lecture, Holmes, I have to side with Goldolf on this one," Ritsuka answered his Advisor, not having time for his antics.
"Yeah, no offense Mr. Holmes. But can you make it quick?" Chat said, finding some equal ground with the Ruler.
Holmes nodded, understanding what the Attack Team was saying. -ZZZ- Right, I apologize. In any case, allow me to summarize what I have on Berserker of the Resistance's True Name. -ZZZ- The Detective said, clearing his throat. -ZZZ- In Hindu Mythology, there are over Three Million Hindu Deities; many with similar aspects of Major Deities. Considering Ms. Rani VIII called herself Kali it's only natural that her Divine Spirit within her has a connection with her. -ZZZ-
-ZZZ- As such, my conclusion on Ms. Rani VIII's True Name is none other than Chamunda. The Hindu Goddess of War and Disasters. -ZZZ- Holmes revealed who Rani VIII's True Name is.
"Chamunda? I don't think I've ever heard of that Name before, Rani you're glowing!" Chat Noir looks at the violet-haired Berserker, seeing her clothes changed.
Rani VIII or Chamunda wore a red dress with golden wrappings around her torso. Eight Spiritual arms appeared around her indicating her status as a Hindu Goddess, similar to Kali. "Chamunda…that Name…yes, it's coming back to me…"
The Berserker looks up, glaring at Sefar. "Here me, I am the Berserker of Resistance, True Name, Chamunda the Goddess of War and Disasters! In the Name of Goddess Kali, I will not let Humanity's destruction come to being other than the Goddess!" The Newly Divine Spirit leaps in the air, her Magical Energy increases once her True Name is called out.
"Chamunda!" Ritsuka cried out, seeing the Berserker already heading towards Sefar.
Chamunda leaps in the air, activating her Noble Phantasm. This time her True Noble Phantasm.
-ZZZ- Chamunda's Magical Energy is increasing, -ZZZ- Ginny exclaims, reading the Data before her. -ZZZ- She's going beyond her limits! -ZZZ- She informed the group.
The Pseudo-Servant glares at Sefar, her Magical Energy at its peak. "AAAAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHH! My fury shall not be extinguished!" Chamunda announces both of her Khadgas were held in her hands.
"Any army who dares stand in my way shall learn my wrath!"
"Strike thy Demon and drink thy blood! Killing Strike of Rage!"
Ten more arms with Weapons appeared behind her, "The World shall be anew by Firey Destruction!" She announced, striking Sefar with one of her Swords then struck again.
Everyone watches as Chamunda repeatedly strikes the White Titian, doing as much damage against the Enemy.
Chamunda stuck her Weapons into the Calamity before pulling them out brutally, She fell back, landing on a still-standing Building, about to do her final strike. "AAGGGGGHHHHH!"
"Devi Mahatmya Shakti!"
Chamunda looks back at Chat Noir and Ritsuka, smiling at them. "Good luck, master of Chaldea and Hero of Destruction. It's been fun," She channeled all of her Magical Energy into her strike, causing a large flash of Energy to burst throughout the Lostbelt.
Chat Noir shook his head, quickly placing his fingers on his Comms. "Did Chamunda's Attack do enough damage to Sefar?" The Hero of Destruction asked the Chaldean Staff on the other side.
After checking the Data, Ginny responded to the Hero's question. -ZZZ- Negative! Even with a full Divine Force from Chamunda's Noble Phantasm, -ZZZ- Everyone looks up at the dust cloud, emerging from it was Sefar, completely unscathed from the Attack.
-ZZZ- Sefar's Body didn't receive the amount of damage Chamunda's Noble Phantasm was supposed to do…Chamunda's Spirit Origins disappeared, -ZZZ- Ginny exclaims, relaying the Berserker's Noble Phantasm didn't even scratch them.
-ZZZ- You all need to get out of there, now! -ZZZ- Sion came on, informing everyone to leave the Front.
Ritsuka clicks his teeth, turning to the Resistance Soldiers, "Everyone, get out of here! Go and get somewhere safe!" He ordered the Soldiers to leave,
Everyone looked at the master of Chaldea, still wanting to fight. However, they saw that the Third Front had fallen. Their orders from their Leaders were to escape if Sefar didn't get damaged, they were to retreat to the City.
The Soldiers oblige the master of Humanity's orders and retreat by going to the side of the Roads, heading further into the City.
"Koyanskaya, Cesare, Lucrezia, take care of these People," The Magus ordered the Servants stationed at the Third Front.
"Hai…I guess I have no choice," Koyanskaya took her Rifle, ready to lead the Humans to a safe place.
Cesare looks at his Sister, shrugging at the order given to them. "Well, since we're going to die here, why not enjoy giving an order by a master? Right, Sister?" He asked the pink-haired Girl.
Lucrezia sighs, shaking her head. "You really are a pain, you know that Cesare. Fine, we'll take care of the Humans here, master." The Assassin said, accepting Ritsuka as their master, despite this moment might be the last time they'll see each other.
The Alter Ego turns to the Resistance Soldiers, calling out to them. "Come on everyone, follow us!" Koyanskaya shouted, hearing Sefar recovering from the impact already.
"Yes, this way everyone!" Cesare cried out, waving to the Humans of the Lostbelt.
Everyone turns their attention to the Servants, following them to safety, Koyanskaya looks at her master, approaching BB, Charlie, and Chat Noir. "Fujimaru," The Alter Ego called for her master,
Ritsuka turns around, hearing his Secretary calling for him. He saw the Alter Ego smile, "I'll see you back on the Storm Border, Fujimaru." Koyanskaya said, knowing when the Lostbelt/Anomaly is resolved, she and the others will either return to Chaldea or the Throne of Heroes. The First is for her and any other Chaldean Servant here.
Ritsuka nodded before walking over to the three, "'Kay, we're ready to leave." The Magus said,
"We're going to the Fourth Front, it seems every Front so far is going down just when they're getting started." Chat Noir said, seeing the state of the Lostbelt.
"I understand how you feel, Chat Noir. But we need to get going to prevent a bigger catastrophe in Paris." Charlie said, sharing what the Hero of Destruction feels.
"Right, right, forget all that, and let's stop this talking and get to it." BB held her hand over to the recovered White Titian. "Oi, Senpai!"
Ritsuka turns around, rushing over to the group. "I know, I know. Let's get going to the Fourth Front." He said as Charlie picked him up,
BB took Chat Noir as the four quickly left for the Fourth Front against Sefar.
Off in the distance, away from Sefar's advancing steps, Koyanskaya met up with the Borgia Siblings after securing a place safe for the Soldiers. "You know, it's futile that we moved the Lostbelt People to a safe place," Lucrezia said, watching the White Titian walk past them.
"I agree with you, but it's what Fujimaru ordered," Koyanskaya said, not minding her master looking out for the Lostbelt Inhabitants. "We've done our part, so we're practically done for now. Am I going to take it you two are going to stay in the Lostbelt?"
"Of course, it's the Last Call back in our establishment. For those who are still sulking at how Paris turned out." Cesare said, shrugging his shoulders. "Besides, it's only right for the original Counter Force Servants to see how this World's going to end."
Koyanskaya nodded, accepting the logic. "You know what, I should too. I have plenty of time before I get back on the Storm Border." The Alter Ego looks at the Assassins, wanting something from them. "You said it's the Last Call right? Count me in," She said, wanting a drink before returning.
Fourth Front
"All hands be advised, the First, Second, and Third Fronts have been destroyed," Ryuko said to the Soldiers stationed at the Fourth Front. "It's our job to ensure that thing doesn't get past us. Hold her back for as long as you can everyone!" She cried, raising her Sword at them.
Moriarty and Tamamo Hime stood behind the Hero of Perfection, watching her rallying the Soldiers at their Front. "Gotta hand it to her, Ryuko knows how to rile up a crowd." The former Apostle of the Alien World said,
Tamamo Hime nodded, folding her hands on her waist. "Yes, Ryuko-sama is very determined to keep Sefar here as long as a Human can." The Caster looks at the Ruler next to him, having a question. "Professor, what is your take on this Front? How long do we possibly have to keep Sefar at bay?"
"On my calculations, about ten percent." Moriarty turns to the White Titian making her way to their Front. "Sefar has been taking a lot of Magical Energy here in the Lostbelt. She's almost at her full strength, if master is here we can last a few more minutes or so."
"I see…hmm?" The Tamamo Tail turned around, her Fox Ears picked up a group coming this way. She smiles, turning to the newcomers, "Master's here."
Ritsuka, Chat Noir, Charlie, and BB arrived on the scene, approaching the Servants and Soldiers. "Alright, we're here." The Magus said, addressing everyone present.
