As the hundreds, maybe thousands of lightsabers hit Oberon and Jacques de Molay, Shiro X's Marble Phantasm finally dissipated. Shiro X sat down, exhausted. "Well, that was a lot. Never used so much power before."
"Yeah," Ritsuka agreed, but his relief was short-lived as the ground beneath them cracked open. Oberon, still alive, prepared one final desperate attack. "Fuck."
Ritsuka, falling too fast, instinctively spread his wings, but his trajectory was headed straight for a black hole forming beneath them. His eyes widened in terror. As he neared the event horizon, a light stopped his descent, enveloping him in a familiar, chilling aura.
"The Alien God," Ritsuka whispered as his body was lifted back to the group. But why?
The light took the form of a human woman who embraced Ritsuka, whispering in his ear, "You're mine. And I won't allow you to die."
Ritsuka caught his breath, but before he could process what had happened, Oberon lunged at him. Suddenly, Oberon's face was grabbed and slammed into the ground, ice forming around him. Everyone turned to see Kadoc, standing firm. At first, Ritsuka thought it was the Servantverse version of Kadoc, but he quickly realized it was his own universe's Kadoc.
"Shut up," Kadoc said coldly to Oberon, lifting his leg as the ice cracked. "And just die."
With a final, forceful stomp, Kadoc shattered the ice completely, leaving Oberon motionless. The battlefield fell silent as the dust settled and the gravity of their victory began to sink in.
"Kadoc!" Ritsuka called out, rushing over. "You saved us."
"Don't get used to it," Kadoc replied, his usual snark tempered by relief. "The Alien God gave me an ultimatum. I had no choice but to come."
"Well, whatever the reason, I'm glad you're here," Ritsuka said, extending a hand. "Thank you."
Kadoc hesitated for a moment before shaking Ritsuka's hand. "Yeah, yeah. Just make sure this doesn't become a habit."
Space Ishtar approached, her expression a mix of gratitude and curiosity. "We owe you one, Kadoc."
"Just focus on the task at hand," Kadoc said, looking around at the group. "This isn't over yet."
Ritsuka nodded, taking a deep breath. "Alright, everyone. Let's regroup and prepare. We have a lot more to do."
As the team gathered their strength and began to plan their next move, the sense of camaraderie and determination grew stronger. They had faced immense challenges, but together, they were ready to face whatever came next.
As then a blue screen from Chaldea appeared, showing Kadoc's image. Everyone stared in shock.
"What, how?" Ophelia said, looking at Kadoc. "You should be in cryo sleep with the rest of Team A."
"There's more to the story," Kadoc replied, standing up. "Also, good luck with the future. Once the seven lights come down, all of proper human history is gone."
"What?" Mash said, looking at Kadoc. She already knew everything about the Lostbelt. "Don't tell—"
A wave of ice hit them, sending them back. A portal opened as ice soldiers emerged, and Kadoc walked into it, returning to his own Lostbelt. Upon arrival, he found Pepe waiting for him.
"Guess who I met," Kadoc said, looking at him. "Our leader and Ophelia. Of all the people Ritsuka saved that day, it was her."
Pepe raised an eyebrow. "Well, isn't that interesting? So, how did it go?"
"It was a mess," Kadoc admitted, sitting down. "But I think I managed to buy us some time. The Alien God is taking a more direct approach."
Pepe sighed. "Things are getting more complicated. We need to be ready for whatever comes next."
Back in the Servantverse, the team regrouped, recovering from the ice wave.
"That was...unexpected," Ritsuka said, shaking off the ice. "Kadoc being here, the Alien God intervening... We need to be more vigilant."
"Agreed," Space Ishtar said. "We have to stay focused. Oberon and Jacques de Molay might be down, but there are still threats out there."
Ritsuka nodded. "Let's keep moving. We can't afford to lose momentum now."
As they prepared to continue their mission, the weight of their situation settled in. The battle was far from over, but with each other's support, they felt ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead.
Meanwhile in Chaldea, chaos reigned. The ray shift coffins for Team A were in disarray, except for two broken ones: Ritsuka's and Ophelia's. The reason for the breaks was unclear, but Dr. Romani had an idea and opened them. Ophelia, Olga, and the others gathered around, their eyes widening as they saw the empty coffins of Kadoc, Kirschtaria, Pepe, Daybit, and Akuta.
"No one is there," Olga said, her voice trembling with disbelief. "The signals were fake. But for how long?"
Dr. Romani frowned, his mind racing. "I don't know. But this means they've been operating under our noses for some time."
"How did we miss this?" Da Vinci exclaimed, frustration evident in her voice. "We've been monitoring everything closely."
"It must have been a highly sophisticated deception," Romani replied. "One that even our systems couldn't detect."
Ophelia looked around at the worried faces. "We need to find them. They could be in danger, or they could be a danger to us."
"Agreed," Olga said. "We can't let this go unnoticed. We need to track them down and figure out what's going on."
As the team began working on tracing the missing members of Team A, the atmosphere in Chaldea grew tense. The realization that they had been deceived for so long weighed heavily on everyone.
"Let's not panic," Romani said, trying to keep everyone calm. "We need to stay focused and methodical. We'll find them and get to the bottom of this."
With a renewed sense of urgency, Chaldea's staff set to work, determined to uncover the truth behind the fake signals and the missing team members. The stakes were higher than ever, and they couldn't afford to fail.
As Romani checked the signals, he found two that matched those of Team A. His heart raced as he realized something crucial. He quickly went to check the status of Team B, only to find that two members of Team B were also missing. The weight of Kadoc's words struck him: "7 lights and the end of proper human history."
"Romani!" Olga called, snapping him out of his thoughts. "What's going on?"
Romani's face was pale. "Two members of Team B are also missing. This is worse than we thought."
Olga's eyes widened. "Do you think this is connected to what Kadoc said about the 7 lights?"
Romani nodded. "It must be. Kadoc mentioned the end of proper human history. If Team A and now Team B are involved, it could be a coordinated effort to disrupt our operations and bring about some catastrophic event."
Mash, who had been quietly listening, stepped forward. "We need to act fast. If they're trying to bring about the end of proper human history, we have to stop them before it's too late."
"Agreed," Da Vinci said, her usual levity replaced with grim determination. "We'll need to locate the remaining members of both teams and figure out their plan. If we can intercept them before they complete whatever they're trying to do, we might be able to prevent this disaster."
Romani took a deep breath. "I'll continue monitoring the signals. We need to find where they're hiding and what they're planning. Everyone else, prepare for a possible battle. We can't afford to be caught off guard."
I think it is about time I come clear. Ritsuka siad everyone looked at him with mash just nodding. Let's start.
As Ritsuka explain his reset, everything that happened in the last timeline, how the reset happened, everything in the lost belt and everything, as Ritsuka was ok his room, now everyone in Chaldea knew about the reset, including the servant as he saw someone walk on as it was Ophelia, as she seat next him on his bed.
So I died in the original timeline. Ophelia said looking at him. And we were never friend there, we don't know did we.
Ritsuka sighed, rubbing his temples. "Yeah, that's right. You and I never really got to know each other in the original timeline. We were more like... I don't know. And yes, you did die."
Ophelia looked away, her expression pensive. "It's strange to think about. Knowing that there's another version of me who made different choices and had a different fate."
Ritsuka nodded. "It's a lot to take in. I've been carrying the weight of that reset alone for a long time. But I couldn't keep it from everyone any longer. We need to be united, especially with what's coming."
Ophelia turned to face him, her eyes searching his. "Do you think we can change things this time? Make sure that the same mistakes aren't repeated?"
"I hope so," Ritsuka said quietly. "That's why I reset everything. To give us another chance. To save everyone that I couldn't save before."
Ophelia reached out and placed a hand on his arm. "Thank you for telling us. For trusting us with this. It can't have been easy."
Ritsuka managed a small smile. "It wasn't. But it's better than carrying it all alone. And now, at least, we can all face this together."
Ophelia stood up, a determined look on her face. "Then let's make sure this time is different. Let's make sure we win."
As she left, Ritsuka felt a sense of relief. The burden of his secret was no longer his alone to bear. He knew there were difficult battles ahead, but for the first time in a long while, he felt a glimmer of hope. With everyone in Chaldea now aware of the stakes and the true nature of their situation, they could face the challenges ahead as a united front.
Later, Ritsuka joined a strategy meeting with Da Vinci, Mash, Romani, and several key Servants. They reviewed the information he had shared and began to formulate a plan.
Da Vinci tapped a map on the table. "Our primary goal is to prevent the 7 lights from being lit. We need to find out where Team A and the missing members of Team B are hiding."
Mash nodded. "We also need to be prepared for any encounters with the Alien God and the other threats Ritsuka mentioned from the previous timeline."
Romani added, "I'll continue monitoring the signals and try to pinpoint their locations. In the meantime, we should gather our strongest forces and be ready to deploy at a moment's notice."
Ritsuka looked around the room, seeing the determination on everyone's faces. "This time, we won't fail. We'll stop whatever they're planning and protect proper human history."
As the meeting adjourned, Ritsuka felt a renewed sense of purpose. The road ahead was uncertain, but he knew he wasn't walking it alone. And together, they stood a fighting chance against the darkness that threatened their world.
As after the meeting, Ritsuka was called by Olga as they seat down, Olga didn't know what to say.
So on that of singularity F in the original Timeline insted if father it was me that died. Olga siad looking at Ritsuka. What changed.
For first Daybit didn't kill you dad in this Timeline. Ritsuka said looking at her. So maybe that was the reason then again I have made a lot of butterfly effect so I am not sure my self
Olga took a deep breath, her gaze steady but filled with a mix of emotions. "It's a lot to take in. I always thought my survival was a fluke. Now, knowing that in another timeline I died... it's unsettling."
Ritsuka nodded, understanding her feelings. "Yeah, it's hard to grasp. Every little change can have massive effects. I did my best to ensure better outcomes, but I can't predict everything."
Olga sighed, leaning back in her chair. "I guess it just shows how fragile everything is. One small change and the whole picture shifts. But it also means we have a chance to make things right this time."
"Exactly," Ritsuka said. "We have the knowledge and the power to influence events. And we're not alone. Everyone in Chaldea is prepared to fight for a better future."
Olga managed a small smile. "I'm grateful for that. And for you, Ritsuka. You've carried so much on your shoulders. But now, you don't have to do it alone."
Ritsuka smiled back. "Thanks, Olga. We're in this together. We'll face whatever comes and make sure this timeline is the one where we succeed."
There was a moment of silence as they both reflected on the gravity of their situation. Then Olga stood up, a renewed determination in her eyes. "Let's get to work. We've got a world to save."
Ritsuka nodded, rising from his seat. "Right. We've got this."
As they left the room, Ritsuka felt a sense of solidarity and resolve. They were all in this together, and together, they could overcome any obstacle. The past was a heavy burden, but it also gave them the strength and knowledge to forge a better future.
As before Ritsuka left, Olga kissed him, it was not trh first time she was part of his harem, and Ritsuka just allowed her, as he walked away with Olgda having a smile
I am supires you didn't go full yandere. Ritsuka siad looking at his shadow. I gess you do have some restrain Maria alter.
Maria Alter stepped out of the shadows, her usual smirk softened into a more genuine smile. "You know, Ritsuka, I can show some restraint when I need to," she teased, though there was a glint of seriousness in her eyes. "Besides, Olga is important to you, and that makes her important to me too."
Ritsuka nodded, appreciating her understanding. "Thanks, Maria. I know it's not easy, but we're all in this together."
Maria Alter walked up to him, placing a hand on his shoulder. "Just remember, I'm always here to protect you. No matter what."
He gave her a reassuring smile. "I know. And I appreciate it more than you can imagine."
They stood there for a moment, the weight of their responsibilities pressing down on them. But with each other's support, they felt ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead. As they walked together back to the main hall, Ritsuka couldn't help but feel a renewed sense of determination. With allies like Maria Alter and Olga by his side, he knew they had a real chance at victory.
In the main hall, the atmosphere was tense but hopeful. Servants and staff alike were preparing for the battles to come, their resolve strengthened by the knowledge of what was at stake. Ritsuka took a deep breath, ready to lead his team into the fray once more.
"Alright, everyone," he called out, his voice carrying through the room. "Let's get to work. We have a world to save, and we won't let anything stand in our way."
With a chorus of determined nods and affirmations, the team sprang into action, each member knowing their role and the importance of their mission. The road ahead was daunting, but with unity and determination, they were ready to face whatever came their way.
