AN: Well, the anomaly is almost finished, anyways enjoy the chapter.
Ch 57 The Battle for Paris Pt 2
Everyone looked above them, standing before the rising Sefar was someone who they thought would be unlikely to help them. Someone who everyone thought was just a Weapon, a Soulless Automaton, a Monster that only know how to kill under Karl der Grobe's orders.
Chat Blanc, the Alter Ego who slew countless Heroes sent by the Counter Force. Famous Heroic Spirits and Divine Spirits who made their marks in History.
The Famous Astronomer Galileo Galilei, the Roman General Flavius Belisarius, the Hindu Deity of Wisdom and Self-Discipline Hanuman, and even Members of Karl der Grobe's own Paladins all fell by his hand.
That's why everyone was surprised to see the most powerful of the Imperial Inquisitors was here. That's why everyone, even the Chaldeans was shocked.
"W-What is Chat Blanc doing here?" Chat Noir asked, thinking that they already defeated the Alter Ego. "I thought Ruler, Ladybug, and I defeated him before Karl der Grobe's defeat."
BB turns to the blonde Hero, curious about one thing. "Did you confirm his Spirit Origin was destroyed when you fought him?" The purple-haired Moon Cancer asked,
Chat Noir turns around, responding to her question. "Ladybug's Lucky Charm has stunned him the last time I've seen him." The Hero of Destruction said, not lying about his Battle with the Alter Ego.
"We're not doubting that you, Ruler, and Ladybug defeated Chat Blanc," Ritsuka said, knowing that Chat Noir and the Heroes of Creation did everything they could to bring down the Alter Ego.
"Whatever is happening now we have two problems to deal wi-"
Charlie held his hand at Chat Noir, sensing something was different with the blonde Hero's Alter. "Hold on, Kid. Something is different about the Alter Ego of White," The former King of France said, pointing out that something was different with the former Enemy.
Ritsuka and the others knew what Charlie was saying, the others were too preoccupied trying to get back to fighting despite an Inquisitor of the Empire being present here. "Charlie's right, Chat Blanc is different from the times we've met."
Akutagawa and Lugh agreed, having the time to get to know the other Lostbelt Servant. "Alter Ego of White or in this case, Chat Blanc has always been on standby by the Emperor." The Berserker stated, sharing some information. "Never interacting with us other than hunting and eliminating Proper Human History Servants."
Lugh nodded, looking up at the Alter Ego. "The strongest out of the Imperial Inquisitors isn't just a title gifted by the Emperor." The Lancer explains, adding his input to the conversation. "He was nothing but a mindless Automaton used as a Weapon. Never have any personality before." The Father of Cu Chulainn said,
"However, after his appearance now, he's different. He's now able to speak." The Divine Spirit took not at how he was able to talk before. "I don't know how that happens, but I believe he's here to help us." Everyone's eyes widen, realizing the silent White blur is now speaking.
Chat Blanc doesn't know why he flew over here. He doesn't know why he has the urge to defend these People. Maybe it was that Person who approached him and spoke words to him.
Words that remind him of the time when he wasn't…so lost. Whatever it is, Chat Blanc's eyes were opened, revealed by the Person who approached him.
The Lostbelt Servant saw how this World was worse than the World he created with his own power—a World where the People he once protected were suffering, suffering with his aid once again.
In his original World, he also caused the People to suffer. By destroying the Moon, causing a major Flood that covers the entire Earth. Even now, he caused much suffering to the People in this Version of Paris.
By aiding Karl der Grobe's quest to remake his ideal Empire and eliminate those who oppose it. Even if he was still unable to think for himself or control his actions, the point still stands that he's still the reason for all this suffering.
With his reasoning returned, the only thing to do is to make up for his actions in this Lostbelt. By defeating the one Threat that could end everything, he then saw there was a small Resistance group.
The group looked familiar to him, however upon seeing them he could tell they were trying their best to defeat the White Titian. Seeing them fighting the White Titian, despite being a futile Battle, urges him to help him.
Sefar glared at the Alter Ego, ready to Attack him. She steps back, powering her Attack to do tremendous damage to him.
Chat Blanc raises his hand at his Opponent, "…" A white beam of Light bursts from his palms, blasting the Foreigner Class right at the center.
Sefar cried out loud, feeling the power of the accumulation of a Being who has almost every Miraculous in the Miracle Box.
Everyone watches as a singular Servant can bring down Sefar with ease.
"H-He was able to bring down Sefar with ease!" One of the Resistance Soldiers exclaims, seeing many Servants fight the White Titian, however many of the Servants struggled only succeeding with some help from others.
"N-No wonder Alter Ego of White is the strongest out of the Imperial Inquisitor." Another of the Resistance Soldiers added,
With Sefar down on the ground, Chat Noir and some others were amazed at how powerful his Alter form was. He saw the Lostbelt Servant descending from the skies towards them,
Everyone who was Human stepped back, unsure how to feel about the Alter Ego aiding them.
Charlie, BB, Akutagawa, Bunnyx, and Lugh stood up, ready to defend everyone at the Front. Chat Noir steps forward, wanting to confront his Lostbelt Self, "Don't take another step, Chat Blanc." He said to the white Servant.
Chat Blanc paused his movement, hearing his Proper Human History version speak to him. The Alter Ego closes his blue eyes, not paying his other self or his words. He continued making his way towards Ritsuka, speaking to him. "Chaldean master, I ask of you…" He extended his hand to him,
"Make a Contract with me," Chat Blanc requested the master of Chaldea,
"Eh?" Everyone wasn't expecting the Alter Ego of White to ask something like that to anyone or to speak for that matter.
Chat Noir shook his head, coming back into reality. He steps forward, highly going against the idea. "Now hold on, you can't be serious about switching sides like that!" The Hero of Destruction said to his Lostbelt Self, "Especially when you still committed so many atrocities against the Parisian and the Servants who tried to stop you and your Empire."
Louis couldn't help but peek behind his Grandfather, looking at the Lostbelt Version of his Father. Even though his hair was white as snow and his eyes were ice blue, however, his demeanor and voice were still the same. "So… that's the other version of Dad."
Gabriel quickly his Grandson close, still not trusting the former Inquisitor. "Louis, don't go out, stay behind me." The retired Villian said, protecting the blonde Boy from the Alter Ego.
He was thankful that Emilie had taken his other Grandchildren, Hugo and Emma, along with those who couldn't fight away. Gabriel knew they were safe at their Mansion,
"Oi, Senpai we have little time now. I'm pretty sure that the Cannons are running out of power now." BB said, keeping track of the time they have before leaving.
"Hold on BB," Ritsuka said, looking at Chat Noir who's still opposed to the idea of Chat Blanc helping. However, there's no room for being finicky. "Chat Noir, Adrien, I know how you feel. But any time we can get can be useful for us,"
Chat Noir looks at Ritsuka, wondering if this is the right choice. "Are you sure, Ritsuka?" The blonde Hero asked,
"Yeah, I am." Ritsuka steps forward, holding out his Command Seals towards the Lostbelt Servant. They glowed, creating a Temporary Contract with the Alter Ego. "There, we have a Contract. Chat Blanc, with a Command Seal I'm ordering you to hold Sefar back and buy us enough time."
"Very well, master." Chat Blanc turns around, his eyes catch a glimpse of a certain blonde Boy standing on the side. The Boy, except for the eyes, shared a similar appearance to himself and the Proper Human self.
Regardless, Chat Blanc took off in the air. He looks down at the master of Chaldea and the others gathered around him. "Move aside and get somewhere safe, as for you master. Go and take the others to where you need to be." The Alter Ego exclaims, giving them the time to do what they need to do.
"Right, come on every-wait, where you two are going?" Ritsuka saw both Akutagawa and Lugh, heading over to the retreating Resistance Members.
Lugh turns around, looking at the Chaldean master and his Allies. "We'll make sure these People get to safety." The Divine Spirit said, "I'm pretty sure that this is our final meeting."
"Both me and Lugh decided to see this Lostbelt to the end and die with the People here," Akutagawa said, wanting to at least this Empire to the end.
Chat Noir paused, realizing something when the orange-haired Lancer said this was the final meeting. "W-Wait!" The blonde Hero cried out, running over to Louis and Gabriel.
"W-Wait, Chat Noir!" Charlie reached out for the young Hero. The former King and the others saw him going towards the two.
BB looks at Chat Noir, wondering why he is heading towards them. "What the Hell is he thinks he's doing heading to them now!?" The Moon Cancer asked, not believing what she was seeing.
"BB, he knows we need to leave," Charlie said, understanding that this is something he has to do. He looks at the Hero of Destruction, saying his last goodbyes to the Lostbelt Inhabitants.
His last goodbyes to his Future Son he came to know during their adventures in the Parisian Lostbelt.
Charlie smiled, watching the scene between Father and Son. "This is the only chance he has to speak with his Son. This moment in this Battle has to be the coolest moment Adrien will ever do." The Saber said, crossing his arms. "You'll do the same, right Ritsuka?" He asked his master/Grandson.
Ritsuka nodded, admitting to the two Servants and anyone who was watching in the Storm Border. "I would if it comes to a situation where I have a little time to say something to someone. I would take the chance to say my final goodbyes to Mashu and Romani." The Chaldean master said to his Servants.
Chat Noir called out to his Son, prompting him to turn and face him. "Louis!" He cried out once more.
"D-Dad? What are you doing?" The blonde Boy asked his Father, seeing him coming up to him. His Grandfather and Nathalie stood behind along with the group, evacuating them to the Safehouse, watching them talk.
"You should be meeting with Abe-no-Seimei and the others to heading back to the Present!" Louis asked his Father from the Present. "Why are you-"
Chat huffs, making his goodbyes quick. His green eyes stared back at Louis's bluebell eyes, "Louis, I know, I know. But I can't leave without saying goodbye first." He said, placing both his hands on his shoulders. "I know that this World, your World isn't supposed to exist. And yet I couldn't help but feel you all should have the chance to rebuild."
"However, I can see that chance was just a pipe Dream. Seeing everyone fighting to defeat the Eternal Empire and the Inquisitors, hearing how they lost their loved ones, their Homes, and the Lives they used to live, and now fighting Sefar…I came to understand why everyone wanted to destroy this place." Chat Noir said, fully coming around to the idea of destroying the Lostbelt.
"Dad…" Louis could only address his Father, listening to his words.
Chat looked down, feeling aches in his chest when he spoke. "Louis, after spending time with you, Hugo, and Emma. I grew to care for you all, I even wanted to bring you guys back to the Present." He admitted, wanting to spend and raise all three of the Children.
BB gasps, about to scold the Hero of Destruction. "You ca-"
Ritsuka held his Moon Cancer's shoulder, stopping her from saying anything. He shook his head, letting Chat Noir speak some more.
"But I can't, if I do so then I would cause more trouble in the Present. Plus, it'll be wrong of me to take you three away from the People who you know. The Home you know." Chat Noir said, knowing what he wished for them was a selfish wish. He may be a Human, but he's a Superhero, a Hero for what's right.
Chat gave an endearing smile to his Future Eldest Son, "So, the only thing I could do for you now is to defeat the Enemy that caused you all this grief." He held his Son's shoulder, "And if you could do something for me…Louis…please take good care of your Siblings and your Grandparents. Okay?" The blonde Hero asked of his Son,
A simple task for the young Boy, a simple task for the last moments of this Lostbelt. Louis nodded, accepting the task that his Father gave him.
Tears were forming in his eyes; he knew things must be this way. However, he couldn't help but cry at them departing.
Chat pulled his Son into a tight hug for him and Ladybug who cannot be here to do so. "I know this doesn't mean much, but I love you, Louis. Both me and your Mother love you with all of our Hearts." The Hero said,
"ADRIEN! LOUIS! LOOK OUT!" Ritsuka and others called out to the Hero and the young Boy.
His Feline instincts were screaming at him. "Louis, go!" Chat pushed his Son out of the way as a stray Beam was headed straight for them.
The Beam was big, and Chat Noir with his Miraculous can leaped far to safety. However, for Louis, he's just a Human. "LOUIS!" Chat cried out to his Son, reaching his hand on impulse.
With the White Beam heading for Louis, the young Boy closed his eyes. He was ready to accept his Death, however someone saved him just in time.
Opening his eyes, Louis gaped at who saved him. "J-Johann!?" He exclaims, not expecting the Archer was still Alive.
Johann Sebastian Bach saved Louis just the nick of time. "Sorry, I'm late, Louis. It took me a bit just to catch up with you guys." The Archer said, landing near Gabriel and Nathalie. He looks back at the Hero of Destruction, nodding to him that he'll take care of everything.
Chat sighed, seeing his Son was safe and was in good hands. Ritsuka came up to him with the two Servants, checking if he was alright. "Adrien, are you okay?" The Magus asked the Hero,
"Yeah, I am…but…" Chat Noir and the others drew their eyes over to where the stray Beam originated from.
With everything that was just said between Louis and Chat Noir. Chat Blanc and Sefar were still fighting a fierce Battle.
The Alter Ego was using all of his Magical Energy in his Attacks against Sefar. Rays of white Beams blast from his palms filled with the powers of all Kwamis of the Miracle Box.
Sefar cried as she defended herself from the Lostbelt Servant. She released her own Beams of light at her Attacker, trying to bring him down.
However, Chat Blanc was too small for Sefar's Attacks to even land. The Beams went astray with how the Alter ego was moving in the air,
"HA!" Chat Blanc flips around a Beam as he retaliates. He held back his palm, releasing yet another Beam fueled with even more of his Power.
The Beam landed on Sefar's Body, damaging her enough due to her Class. However, despite the Class Affinity Chat Blanc has over Sefar, it's only a flesh wound.
Chat Blanc saw this, deciding that he needed a stronger and more powerful Attack. His ice-blue eyes shift to the evacuating People, he dashes forward and punches Sefar down with the Strength of the Ox Miraculous.
The Alter Ego looks back, seeing the Chaldeans and his Proper Human History self. "What are you still doing here? I told you go," Chat Blanc said to the watching crowd.
Ritsuka shook his Head, turning back to his Servants and Chat Noir. "Okay everyone we're going now!" The Magus called out to everyone,
Nikitich nodded, seeing that there wasn't any reason for her to stay behind now that Chat Blanc was here. "Got it," The Rider met up with the Hero of Destruction, helping him up. "Come on, Cat. We have to meet up, soon we'll be able to defeat the Enemy!"
"R-Right, yes. I'm going, Nikitich." Chat said, standing on his two feet before his eyes drew to Louis being brought to his Father by the Archer. "See you soon…Louis…" The Hero of Destruction and the Bogatyr proceeded to meet up with Ritsuka and the others.
Bunnyx appeared next to the two, joining them as planned. "Just a few more feet till the Rift!" The Hero of Evolution said,
Chat Blanc blocked a Beam, his ice-blue eyes glared down at the Chaldeans and his new and short-term master. The Alter Ego saw them leaving, heading towards the Rift between time.
'Good, they have left this place,' Chat Blanc mentally said to himself, turning to face the Foreigner right before him. He took a significant amount of Magical Energy from his master, getting ready to Attack.
While running towards the Rift, his eyes caught the remaining Servants waiting for their arrival. "Hey now, I can see the others waiting for us!" Charlie exclaims, pointing to the last remaining Servants in this Lostbelt.
"Yeah, I see it Charlie-" Ritsuka stumbles forward, feeling like half of his Magical Energy was being zapped from his Body.
"Hey, are you alright Ritsuka?" Charlie grabs hold of his Grandson/master, seeing him looking tired.
Ritsuka nodded, patting Charlie's shoulder. "Yeah, I'm fine. I just felt a little light-headed." The Magus explains to the Saber Servant.
BB looks at her master, knowing exactly why he's feeling fatigued. "Well, you are pushing yourself, Senpai with the many Servants here that have Contacts with you and the multiple Noble Phantasms that were released." The Moon Cancer said, pointing out the obvious. "So, I guess that you've reached your limits so to speak."
"And by the looks of it, that Alter Ego has taken Half of your Magical Energy." The purple-haired AI said, taking a look at her master's Magical Energy. "He's most likely going to use his Noble Phantasm."
Chat Noir, Bunnyx, and Nikitich arrived, and they all saw Ritsuka kneeling on his knees. "Hey, Ritsuka. Are you alright!?" The blonde Hero asked, seeing his Friend looking exhausted.
Bunnyx saw the master of Humanity's face, looking paler than before. "Ritsuka, are you sure you can continue like this? You don't look like you can't." The Hero of Evolution said, concerned with his condition.
Ritsuka heard the Heroes voices, prompting him to speak. "Yeah, Adrien, Alix. I'm fine. Come on, we've gotta get going." He said, trembling to stand before planting his feet on the ground.
Chat was obviously worried for Ritsuka, however he does have a point.
Suddenly, Nikitich materialized Burko from wherever she was storing him. She hops onto the Cursed Mount, offering her hand to her master. "Master, climb aboard, Burko, and I shall take you to the Rift."
Ritsuka was hesitant, however, Charlie and Chat Noir were already helping him onto the Dragon/Horse.
Before he knew it, the master of Chaldea was now sitting next to his Servant. "Hold on tight, master, we're going to gun it," Nikitich said, holding onto the reigns of her Mount.
"Right," Ritsuka said, as Chat was being picked up by Charlie and proceeded to go meet the others.
Chat Noir couldn't but look back at the Battle between the Lostbelt Servant and the Foreigner. "Good luck, Chat Blanc…"
Chat Blanc floated before the White Titian, holding his hand out to her. "A single strike that causes destruction, a strike that killed the Moon." A small orb appeared at the tip of Alter Ego's fingers before getting bigger with each passing moment.
"Evil will be vanquished!"
The Orb that Chat Blanc created grew bigger as it fit in his palm.
"Let it be known, I will cover the Earth in a blanket of white!" The Alter Ego announced, finishing powering his Noble Phantasm.
Sefar started to Attack, retaliating against the incoming Noble Phantasm. She released a bunch of Beams at him, however the White Orb within his palms blocked the Attack,
Chat Blanc glares at the Opponent, knowing this Attack will cost him dearly. However, he's fine with it, he didn't belong in this World, or any other World for that matter. The only thing he could do was to be the Hero he was Years before.
"World Wipe Cataclysm!"
A large white beam hurls towards the White Titian, pushing her back to down the street.
Sefar screams, trying to overcome the Noble Phantasm. She held her arms before her face, attempting to step forward.
Chat Blanc felt his Magical Energy depleting from his Body, he smiled before speaking. His feet began to turn into Golden dust.
Noticing this, the Alter Ego accepted the outcome of his actions thus far, However, there was one thing he was curious about. "You know…I don't think I ever ask about the blonde Boy leading the Resistance…he seems…familiar…." He said, using every Magical Energy he got for his Noble Phantasm.
With his final breath, Chat Blanc disappears from the Lostbelt causing his Noble Phantasm to decrease in power.
With all that power, Sefar stood tall, only receiving almost Half the damage. Regardless of what happened and the damage she took.
Sefar proceeded forward, seeing the Temporal Rift close in a few more steps. Unbeknownst to her, the Chaldeans were waiting for her.
