Ch 109 The Atlantic Defense Fleet
Atlantic Ocean, Atlantic Celestial Defense Station
Harry followed Jason, Captain of the Argo with Voyager, Zhou Yu, Iyo, and Medea Lily following behind him. He showed the Deck, the Cargo hold, the Cabins, and many more Features of the Argo,
"Despite how it looks, the Argo is a very versatile Ship that no Modern Vessels Today could match up to," Jason said as if it was a Fact about the Argo, leaving the Cabins and now explaining the makeup of the Ship.
Iyo cleared her throat, "Don't forget about the Storm Border, Jason." The Ruler hums, placing her Hands in her Jacket.
Harry heard what the Ruler said, remembering from the Marines and Captain Nemo himself told him about the Storm Border. "Yeah, Iyo is right, Nemo and the rest of the Nemo Series told me that the Storm Border is also a Ship that Modern Ships or any Ship can't compare." The young Boy said,
Jason tripped over his own Two Feet, hearing him both the ruler of Yamataikoku and the young master stating some Facts. The blonde Saber turned his Head to the young Boy, sensing his smugness underneath the polite exterior, "Your smugness is clear as Day underneath that politeness of yours, young master."
Harry just looked curiously at the Captain of the Argonauts, honestly not sure what he meant. "I'm just stating something that the Captain told me, Captain Jason." He said, wanting to correct things he said,
"Well, you got to admit, Jason. The Storm Border is One of a Kind Ship, that Proper Human History can't ever produce with Twenty-First Century Technology." The dark-haired Ruler said to the Saber Servant before them.
Jason grumbles, hating to admit that Iyo was right. Ever since the Storm Border's Creation in the Atlantic Lostbelt, he was impressed by it. Shaking his Head, Jason turns and faces the young master. "Hey, Squirt just because the Storm Border is amazing and has things I wish the Argo had; the Argo is still an amazing Ship!" He said, failing to hide his impressiveness.
"Even though the Storm Border has a strong Haul and multiple Divine Protections, alongside being Powered by Nemo's Triton Side as its Engines," Jason said, clearly failing to keep his impression of the Border Hidden, "Anyways, the Argo is just as amazing too."
Harry nodded as he and Voyager looked at Jason intently. "The Argo itself is an Old Ship; however, it still has blessings from Hera and countless other Greek Gods," Jason explained, explaining what makes his Ship one of the Best in History. It has a strong, Bound Field around it, so anything that might crash into it, the Enemy Vessel will sink first before the Argo does." He proudly said this about his Ship.
"A Bounded Field covering the entire Ship?" Zhou Yu ponders, his Eyes gazing over to Medea Lily beside him. "I take it that it's you're responsible for making the Bounded Field, Medea Lily?" The Archer asked the Caster Servant.
"O-Oh yes, Lord Jason asked me to erect some Bounded Fields on the Argo. Layers on layers of Bounded Field help the Argo withstand the rough Ocean that Poseidon created." Medea Lily smiles, proudly explaining how the Legendary Ship was versatile.
The blonde Saber glared at his (Ex)Wife, "Y-You dimwitted Idiot!" Jason hissed at Medea Lily for telling the inner workings of the Argo. "What were you thinking, revealing secrets behind the Argo, Medea!?"
"Hey, you don't need to yell at Medea Lily," Harry said, quickly defending the Caster, not liking how Jason was talking to her. Even though he has every reason to in Legend, "She's just trying to help telling me about the Argo!"
Medea Lily smiles, appreciating the young master defending her from Jason's scolding. "I appreciate you defending me, but I'm alright." The Caster reassured Harry that she was used to this. "I'm maybe a bit too forgiving, however, I am still Medea. You met her at the Wandering Sea,"
Harry remembers a much Older Medea in a Blue Dress and a dark Robe in the Wandering Sea. She taught him how to use Charms, much like how Wizards and Witches use in the Wizarding Community. However, Medea's Charms were much more Advanced than any Charms that they could produce.
Being reminded of who Medea Lily is, Harry feels reassured that Lily can handle herself. "Yeah, I do. But still…" Harry looked at Jason, his Face was stern as he addressed the Saber. "That's still not right treating Medea Lily like Jason. I know it is a part of your Legend, but this isn't the Past. Whatever happened then, it doesn't matter; now that you both are serving my Father to protect Humanity." He stated to the Greek Hero,
"At least try to get along with each other, or tolerate Medea Lily if you can't do that," Harry stated firmly to the Captain of the Argo.
"Fou, Fou," Fou watches as Harry stays firmly against Jason's attitude towards Medea Lily,
Voyager floated over to where the rest of the Servants were, observing the situation. "Should we intervene?" The Foreigner asked the others,
Zhou Yu wants to, but he wants to see how he can handle this sort of situation. "Not yet, Foreigner. Let's give master a chance," The Archer said, giving his master a chance to speak up for his beliefs against a Person.
Iyo has to agree with the young master's Servant, Harry is still a growing Child. He has a lot to learn about the World and how to interact with People who are a bit troubled. However, it didn't sit right with Ruler, "Let's just stay on standby, I don't feel right letting him face Jason on his own."
Atalante nodded, also wanting to intervene if needed. But she also knows that smothering him won't help him grow,
"Oh? Is that a hint of insubordination in your Voice?" Jason asked, crossing his Arms at the young master.
Harry gulps but remains steadfast before the Greek Hero.
Without a second thought, Jason ruffled Harry's Hair, causing the young Boy to look confused.
Jason smirks at Harry, having a different opinion of him when he saw the Boy. "Well, talk about having Balls," He smirks approvingly of the black-haired Boy's attitude that he was showing him. "You better know when and where to show this strong-headedness, Squirt. Believe it or not, that's exactly what the Gods and cocky People are not prepared for,"
"Huh?" Harry wasn't expecting the Captain of the Argo to be urging him to be strong-headed. "I thought that being a Greek Hero who was really cocky, that you would advise me not to be like you."
Jason felt like something had hit his Head upon hearing the young master. "Gods, Squirt you're not even pulling any punches. Heh, if you want to be more daring, I can-GAK!" The blonde Saber felt something jabbing his Stomach, looking up to see Atalante who smiled down at him.
"Jason, please refrain from saying anything that would lead the young master to a rebellious Path," Atalante said, preventing her Captain from commenting any further. "Young master, why don't you explore the Argo? You have quite some Time before you all go through the Great Bounded Field." The Archer suggested the black-haired Boy.
Atalante placed her gloved Hand on Jason's Head, causing him to yelp. "W-Wait, I know this feeling! It's your Famous Iron-Claw Grip!" The Saber sweated, realizing what this entails. The vivid Memories of him pranking Atalante during their Voyage played in his Mind, knowing what came next.
"Captain Jason, let's speak in your Captain's Cabin on how to raise a Child properly." Atalante smiles at the Saber Servant, "After all, you never really did not interact with Children from your Life or your previous manifestations." The Archer said, dragging Jason away.
"WAIT! NO, ATALANTE, I'M YOUR CAPTAIN!" Jason screamed as he was being dragged away. Hating to say this, the Saber turns to Medea Lily for assistance. "MEDEA! PLEASE, YOU'RE FRIENDS WITH ATALANTE! TALK SOME SENSE INTO HER BEFORE SHE KILLS ME!"
Medea Lily merely smiles, standing with Harry. "I'm sorry Lord Jason, but master tasked me to watch the young master." The Caster said as the screams of her (Ex)Husband echoed throughout the Sea.
Harry blinked, feeling like he'd witnessed a Murder about to occur. The young Boy looks at Iyo and Zhou Yu, wanting to ask them something. "Is Jason going to be alright?" He asked the Two.
"Who knows, let's not worry about him, young master," Iyo said, not a bit concerned for the blonde Saber. "Anyways, there's still a lot to see on the Argo, even without Jason or Atalante guiding us." The Ruler added,
"Jason is in capable Hands," Voyager added, turning to the purple-haired Lily Servant. "Medea Lily, would you continue where Jason left off?" The Foreigner asked the Caster.
Medea Lily giggles, seeing she's the next possible Person to continue the Tour. "Of course, I'm sure that Atalante will take care of Lord Jason," The Caster said to the small group. "In any case, let's continue the Tour, young master."
"Fou, Fou!" The Beast said, ushering to continue with the Tour,
Harry nodded, wanting to see more of the Ancient Ship. "Okay, I still want to see more of the Argo." He said, hearing the screams of Jason coming from his Cabin.
The Tour continued as usual but without Jason and Atalante, Harry has learned many things about the Argo that weren't recorded in what Modern Book have described the Ship.
Harry smiles, walking a bit faster than the Servant. "Master, do be careful where you're heading," Zhou Yu called out to his master, seeing how excited he was.
"Alright, Zhou Yu-" Harry responded only to bump into something,
Harry stumbles back, expecting to hit the Argo's Floor. However, he felt a large Hand grabbing his entire Body, prompting him to look at who caught him.
A towering figure stands before you, his wild black hair framing his rugged features. His striking eyes—one fiery red and the other vivid yellow—create an fearsome contrast. His Muscular torso is bare, showcasing coarse, greyish-brown skin marked by Past Battles. Around his Waist is an ancient armored cloth typical of Greek warriors, while sturdy Metallic bands encircle his Wrists and Ankles, emphasizing his formidable presence.
Normally, Harry would be scared and frightened of this hulking Figure. However, after meeting Asterios, and many more big Heroic Spirits, he's used to seeing intimidating Servants around.
"Nice catch, Heracles." Voyager floated over to the Berserker, seeing him helping the young master. He turns to Harry, giggling at him. "Harry must be really excited to be here if he somehow trips or bumps into someone," The Foreigner commented,
"Fou, Fou," The Beast agrees with the blonde floating Servant,
"Hmm…" Heracles gently placed Harry on his Feet, carefully not to injure the young Boy.
Harry smiles at the Berserker who helped him, "Heracles? You're Heracles!?" He asked the hulking Servant before him. "The Son of Zeus who completed Twelve impossible Labors and is considered to be the greatest Greek Hero?" He asked, knowing who the Berserker is.
Heracles merely nodded, grunting an answer to Harry's question.
"Um, thank you for helping there, Heracles. It's an honor to meet you." Harry said, appreciating Heracles helping him out.
"Hmm…" Heracles nodded, reaching out and petting his Head,
Harry blinks, looking up at the Berserker surprised by the sudden gesture. "Um…" He wasn't sure what Heracles was doing.
Heracles smirks before walking off to help Daedalus/Naucrate with transferring some heavy Crates from the Golden Hind to the Argo.
The black-haired Boy was still confused about what Heracles just did to him. "What was that about?" Harry asked, curious about the gesture.
"Most likely Heracles just did that because the way you bump into him reminds him of his Son." Medea Lily said, knowing the Berserker for some Time. "Heracles always speak wonders of his Family and how joyous his Time with his Son." She said, remembering what Heracles said.
Iyo sympathized with Heracles, looking at the Berserker. "It's very sad on what happened to his Family. It's no wonder Heracles was so adamant about master and Mashu Adopting you when he heard." The Ruler said as Footsteps came behind them.
"Well yeah, of course, Heracles is a big Supporter of master taking you in, Squirt." Jason, who came out of his Cabin after Atalante's scolding said. His Head has a large bump throbbing, indicating where the Archer struck him. "Even though his Madness Enchantment Skill has taken up the Big Lug's Spirit Origin. At the very core of himself, Heracles was a Father and understood master and Mashu's wish." The Saber said, serious on this topic.
Harry nodded, looking at Heracles. Most likely one of the Powerful Servant in the Succession-Faction, and also somewhat difficult to understand. "I kinda wish I could talk to him properly without his Madness Enchantment. I bet Dad understands him from their Bond." He said, wishing to speak with him.
"Fou," Fou comforts Harry, understanding how he feels.
Atalante smiles at Harry, entering the conversation. "I'm sure Heracles most likely say that he'll be there to help you in a pinch, young master." The green-blonde-haired Archer said, understanding Heracles.
Jason nodded, agreeing with the Huntress. "Oh yeah, you can trust Heracles to do anything. Be it in Battle, taking up the front for an assault, protection, or a Drinking Buddy, Heracles is the best!" The Saber said, speaking wonders about the Berserker.
"You have a lot of respect for Heracles, Captain Jason," Harry said, looking up at the blonde Captain,
"Of course, nobody is more reliable than Heracles!" Jason proudly stated, showing how reliable the Berserker is, "So if anything happens, you know who to call." He winks at th young master.
Harry nodded, keeping what Jason said in mind. "Right,"
After a few moments, Harry and the rest of the Servants made it to the bridge that connected the Argo to the Golden Hind.
Harry turns around to the Argonauts, their Time together is almost up before he and his Family go into the Atlantic Defense Station Territory. "Well, that's everything you have to know about the Argo, Squirt. Consider this a special one-time thing, normally I would dead out refuse anyone," Jason said, crossing his Arms at the Chaldean Heir. "Call yourself lucky,"
Atalante nudged her Captain, wanting him to calm his demeanor. "(Hey, don't let your Ego go too far, Jason.)" The Archer hissed,
"Yeah, yeah," Jason grumbles, responding to Atalante's warning,
Harry nodded, listening to the blonde Saber speak. "Thank you for the Tour, Captain Jason, Miss Atalante!" The young Boy said, appreciating the Argonauts giving a Tour of the Ship. "I learned a lot about the Argo that I didn't know before."
Medea Lily smiles, placing her Hand behind her Back. "Lord Jason, I'm glad you were able to humor the young master's curiosity." The Caster smiles at her (Ex)Husband, "Now you have experience with Children," She giggles at a potential prospect.
Jason cringed at the thought, catching on to what the purple-haired Princess was leading. "No, no, don't you dare go down that path!" The Saber exclaims, not wanting to think about it. "We are freaking Servants! We're Greek Heroes too! We're not suitable for raising Kids,"
"And I would rather be consumed by a freak Demon God Pillar again than having a Child with you!" Jason said, denying any movement made by the Caster,
Harry looks at Medea Lily, still retaining her usual happy expression.
Fou noticed the frown on Harry's brow, worried for him. "Fou…"
Zhou Yu merely petted the young Boy's shoulder, understanding his feelings. "I know what you're thinking, master. But considering this is Medea Lily, the younger Version of herself," The Archer said,
"I know, but still…" Harry said, feeling uneasy that there was little he could do to help Medea Lily and Jason's relationship.
Iyo smiles, "Don't worry, Medea Lily is tougher than you think, young master." The Ruler said,
"Oi, Harry!" Harry turns around to the other Ship, hearing his Father calling for him on the Golden Hind. "We're ready to go!" Ritsuka said, waving at him with his Mother.
Voyager floated above the group of Servants, catching his master's Voice calling. "We better get going, Harry. There's still a lot to see beyond the Great Bounded Field." The Foreigner said to the young master.
Harry nodded, hearing the blonde Servant's Words. "Okay," He turns around to the Argonauts and Daedalus/Naucrate, smiling at them. "I hope we can meet again,"
Jason scoffs, crossing his Arms. "I doubt we're not going to meet each other again, Squirt." The Saber said, gazing down at the young master. "You're going to inherit our Servant Contract in the Future, so get used to us being around."
"As rudimentary as Jason puts it, we'll meet each other again young master," Atalante said, knowing they'll have a lot of Time meeting again.
Heracles and Daedalus/Naucrate nodded, not the ones to speak, but agreed on things.
"Come now, young master, everyone is waiting on the Golden Hind," Iyo said, guiding Harry and the others back to the other Ship.
Medea Lily turns to Jason, smiling brightly at him. "I'll see you soon, Lord Jason!" She waved, not caring for his cringed expression on his Face.
BB Dubai saw the young master re-boarding the Golden Hind, "Well, finally. This really has put a dent in the Itinerary I made for this Vaca," The Moon Cancer said, impatiently waiting for Harry and the others to return.
"Come now, BB. Harry is just a curious Kid," Hakunon said, enjoying the small deviant of their Course. "Just let him have some Fun, a Kid like him wouldn't have an Adventure such as this one,"
"Fine, whatever, at least he's back on board." The Purple-haired AI said, seeing her master and Mashu approaching the Child, asking about his mock Adventure on the Argo. "I'll tell Drake that we're on board and ready to go."
The brunette Moon Cancer looks at BB Dubai, having an inkling feeling. "Hey, BB you're not up to something are you?" Hakunon asked her fellow Moon Cancer.
BB smiles at her Original Senpai, answering her question. "Me? Good old BB Dubai? Grail no," The Moon Cancer said, walking off to speak with the Rider.
Adele Island
Deep within a Forest of a Medium-sized Island, named after the Lostbelt Inhabitant of the Fifth Lostbelt. A bright light shines before a Summoning Circle, created by someone working behind the scenes, "There aren't as many Anti-Succession Faction Servants around here. That Goddess who's hypocritical in her Authority and that Beast who rather Die than have him as her master." The Servant in a dark Hood said, completing the Summoning Ritual.
"It's far less than I have anticipated, many opted to be in the Neutral Faction." The Servant smiles, seeing the Servant that answered his Summoning to bolster his Numbers on the Island. "But with a simple Summon, I can fix the odds." He said, being greeted by his Summoned Servant.
The Servant that was Summoned had red hair and purple Eyes, silver Armor, and a bluish-black cape, inside was red like Blood with golden accents on his shoulders and edges of the Cape.
The Servant grinned wickedly and replied, "I am Berserker of Britannia!" The Summoned Berserker planted his Silver and purplish-red Sword on the ground, "I asked of you, are you the master who Summoned me?" He asked, giving a crazed grin.
The Hooded Servant smiles, placing his Hands in his pocket. "Yeah, I am. I have an important task for you, Berserker." He said, relaying orders to the Summoned Servant.
