Unexpected Changes

Genghis Khan sat in his throne room, contemplating how to handle the newly summoned Servants and their Masters. His thoughts were interrupted when he noticed fourteen shadows moving towards him, each one armed and ready for battle.

Genghis Khan gripped his weapon tightly, his eyes narrowing. "So, the Masters of the Holy Grail War have come to attack me."

He rose, preparing to confront the seven Masters and their seven Servants. As the sun rose over the Chinese Lostbelt, a tear in space-time opened up, and the Shadow Border emerged from the rift, coming to a halt on a nearby hill.

Ritsuka stepped out first, surveying the landscape. "Um, Da Vinci, are we sure we're in the Chinese Lostbelt?"

Da Vinci joined him, her eyes widening in shock. "What do you mea—Holy fuck!"

Below them lay a vast expanse divided into seven distinct regions, each with its own architectural style and banners. Each section seemed to represent a different country or culture, marked by a specific class banner.

As the rest of Chaldea's team exited the Shadow Border, they shared Da Vinci's astonishment.

Ritsuka's voice was filled with disbelief. "What happened here?"

Their attention was suddenly drawn to a figure approaching from the distance. It was Xiang Yu, carrying the severely injured Akuta on his back. Both were battered and bloody, barely clinging to life.

Akuta, struggling to stay conscious, looked at the group from Chaldea. "We need help," she gasped before collapsing alongside Xiang Yu.

The team from Chaldea rushed to their side, their minds racing with questions and fear. What in the world had happened in the past two weeks?

After some time, Akuta regained consciousness. She found herself in the presence of Ritsuka and the rest of the Chaldea team, who were anxiously waiting for her to awaken.

Ritsuka gazed at Akuta with concern before breaking the silence. "Okay, Akuta. What happened?"

Akuta took a deep breath, preparing to recount the harrowing events of the Holy Grail War in the Chinese Lostbelt. "To explain, let's start from the beginning."

She went on to describe her role in working alongside Genghis Khan to thwart the Holy Grail War, detailing the battles, the strategies employed, and the ultimate betrayal that led to the war escalating out of control.

Ritsuka listened attentively, absorbing the gravity of the situation. "And what happened to Genghis Khan?"

Xiang Yu spoke up next, his voice heavy with sorrow. "He was killed by the Seventh Master and their Servant. They took over the Lostbelt, turning it into a battleground for a full-scale Holy Grail War."

Akuta nodded solemnly, continuing where Xiang Yu left off. "This Holy Grail War is unlike any we've encountered. It's not a brief conflict—it's a prolonged war. My Lostbelt has been overtaken, the Fantasy Tree nearly destroyed, and the King of this Lostbelt has fallen."

Da Vinci, wanting to shift the conversation away from the grim details, interjected. "How did Genghis Khan die?"

Akuta looked at Da Vinci, her expression serious. "When we found him, he was already gone. His throne room was a scene of devastation, blood everywhere. He had fourteen weapons impaling him, and we believe he was pinned to the wall before breaking free. He put up a fierce fight, but in the end, he was shot through with arrows while seated on his throne. Remarkably, he managed to survive for another two hours."

Ritsuka, despite the somber mood, couldn't help but comment with a hint of admiration, "He died like a badass."

The group fell silent, processing the enormity of their current predicament. The Holy Grail War had drastically altered the landscape of the Chinese Lostbelt, and they were now faced with the daunting task of navigating through this war-torn reality.

Ritsuka then looked at Akuta. So let me get this correct your lost belt, has lost its king and now the lost belt is divided into Seven sections with one master and servent pair running one of the section so that they can get the holy grail.

Akuta nodded, confirming Ritsuka's understanding. "Yes, that's right. The death of Genghis Khan has fractured the Lostbelt into seven distinct sections. Each section is now controlled by one Master and their corresponding Servant. They are all vying for control of the Holy Grail, turning this place into a battleground where survival depends on securing victory over the others."

Ritsuka absorbed this information, contemplating their next move. "And the Fantasy Tree, how is it affected?"

Akuta's expression darkened. "The Fantasy Tree has been severely weakened. Without the guidance of the King, its stability is compromised. If it falls completely, it could lead to catastrophic consequences for this Lostbelt."

Da Vinci interjected, her mind racing with potential strategies. "We need to gather more information on these Masters and Servants. Understanding their motives and capabilities will be crucial in navigating this situation."

Mash added, her tone resolute, "We can't let this Holy Grail War escalate further. Our priority should be to restore order and stability to the Lostbelt."

Ritsuka nodded, his resolve firm. "Alright. Let's gather intel, assess the situation, and strategize our next steps. We have a. Mission to complete

Dr Romani then looked at everyone. One thing is clear, do to the nature of this holy grail war a Ruler servent is definitely going to be summon and counte force may summoned its own servant as well to destroy this lostbelt or maybe it won't it is hard to say

Dr. Romani's words hung heavily in the air, prompting a thoughtful silence among the gathered team at Chaldea. His analysis was crucial, highlighting the potential involvement of a Ruler-class Servant and the unpredictable nature of the Counter Force. Ritsuka broke the silence, his voice steady despite the gravity of their situation.

"If a Ruler-class Servant is summoned, it could bring balance to this chaotic Holy Grail War," Ritsuka speculated, considering the implications. "But we can't rely solely on assumptions. We need to prepare for any scenario, including the Counter Force's intervention."

Mash nodded in agreement. "Our priority remains stabilizing the lostbelt and preventing further conflict. If the Counter Force intervenes, we must be ready to negotiate or defend our position."

Da Vinci, always quick to strategize, added, "Gathering information on the Masters and their Servants will be crucial. We need to understand their goals and capabilities to effectively navigate this war."

Akuta, recovering from her injuries but still resolute, spoke up. "I'll continue to gather intel from within the Lostbelt. Understanding our adversaries is key to our success."

Romani, grateful for the unity and determination of his team, concluded, "Stay vigilant, everyone.

After a while of gathering thing and waiting for Akuta to fully heal was not that long for her do to her being a vampire

Akuta just looked at Ritsuka. So you destroyed Kadoc and Mason lostbelt

Ritsuka looked at her. No I sent it to space.

Akuta blinked once and twice. What

Kadoc just looked at her. Don't ask it is good for you brain

Akuta just nodded and then looked at Ritsuka. So why did you guys killed Mason

Ritsuka looked at her confuse. We didn't kill we just stopped him that is it.

Akuta was then even more confused. My Kirshtaria told that the Valkyries told that you guys killed Mason

Kadoc looked at Ritsuka. Did we kill by accident? did we but to much power in the final attack?

Ritsuka shook his head, a mix of concern and curiosity on his face as he replied to Akuta and Kadoc's queries.

"No, we didn't kill Mason," Ritsuka clarified, his voice steady. "We managed to stop his Lostbelt from collapsing and instead sent it into space. It was a last-resort measure to preserve its existence."

Mash, who had been quietly listening, added, "The Valkyries might have misunderstood the situation. Our goal wasn't to destroy Mason's Lostbelt but to stabilize it. Ritsuka made the decision to save it by relocating it rather than letting it collapse."

Akuta absorbed this information, processing the unexpected turn of events. "I see," she murmured, realizing the misinformation that had circulated. "So Mason's Lostbelt is still intact, just in a different location."

Kadoc nodded, relieved. "It seems there was a misunderstanding. The Valkyries must have interpreted the relocation as destruction."

Ritsuka glanced at Akuta, concerned about her reaction. "Is everything alright, Akuta? I know this must be a lot to take in."

Akuta nodded slowly, her expression thoughtful. "It is. I appreciate the clarification," she said sincerely. "I suppose misunderstandings like these are common in our line of work."

Romani, who had been observing quietly, interjected, "Regardless, our focus now is on your Lostbelt and the unfolding Holy Grail War. We need to strategize carefully and gather as much information as possible about the Masters and their Servants."

With renewed clarity and understanding, the team at Chaldea turned their attention back to their mission, preparing to navigate the complexities of the Holy Grail War in Akuta's fractured Lostbelt.

Akuta then looked at Ritsuka. That still doesn't explain something Mason is really dead, we literally found that he was stabbed the Valkyries brought his body.

Kadoc just looked at Ritsuka. Did someone else kill him if so why

Ritsuka frowned, absorbing the weight of Akuta's words. It was unsettling to hear about Mason's supposed death and the confirmation from the Valkyries. He glanced at Kadoc, searching for answers.

"I didn't order Mason's death, and none of us were involved in it," Ritsuka replied firmly. "If the Valkyries brought his body, then someone else must have killed him. But why would they do that?"

Mash spoke up, her voice tinged with concern. "Maybe there's more going on in Mason's Lostbelt than we anticipated. Perhaps someone within the Lostbelt sought to remove him for their own reasons."

Akuta nodded, her expression grim. "It's possible. Mason's position as one of the crypter did make him a target and he was a snake so yeah

Romani interjected thoughtfully, "This development complicates things further. If Mason is truly dead, it means someone else had killed him or maybe something else I am.not.sk sjre my self.

Kadoc crossed his arms, deep in thought. "Could someone have manipulated events to make it look like Mason was killed by us? It wouldn't be the first time someone has tried to twist the truth to their advantage."

Ritsuka nodded, his expression determined. "Regardless of what happened, we need to uncover the truth and find out who's behind Mason's death. Akuta, we'll support you in whatever way we can to navigate through this."

Akuta nodded back, appreciating their solidarity. "Thank you," she said quietly. "Let's focus on gathering information and preparing for the challenges ahead."

With renewed resolve, the team at Chaldea prepared to delve deeper into the mysteries surrounding Mason's death and the unfolding Holy Grail War in Akuta's Lostbelt.

As Ritsuka was doing his things as he was putting things together for the third lostbelt as Aozaki then entered the room as she looked at him.

Aozaki just looked at him. Hey kid how are you ok with me.

Ritsuka stopped and just looked at her. Explain

Aozaki just looked at him. I am not a good person I am inhumane in some right, I tryed to kill my sister, I stole magic crest from other mages to make my own, I just and minuplated and tested on people I cut there body parts and did more.

Ritsuka then looked at her. You wanna know why I am ok with other teacher, and how I can look pass the shit you have done, I have seen worse before the rest. Ritsuka sayingt that words laps a bit. So yeah I don't have a problem with shits you have done or will ever do they are tame compared to what other like Zues, Godjuna, or even other have done

Aozaki blinked, her usual stoic expression momentarily shifting to one of surprise. She hadn't expected such a straightforward and accepting response from Ritsuka. She crossed her arms, contemplating his words.

"You've faced gods and monsters, and here I am, just a human with questionable ethics," Aozaki mused. "I guess compared to them, my actions might seem... small."

Ritsuka nodded, his gaze steady. "Exactly. What you've done, while morally complex, doesn't compare to the scale of what I've had to face. The lives I've seen erased, the atrocities committed by entities far beyond human comprehension—it puts things into perspective."

Aozaki seemed to consider this, a slight smirk playing on her lips. "Perspective, huh? You really are something else, kid. Most people would run the other way if they knew half the things I've done."

Ritsuka shrugged, a small smile tugging at his lips. "I'm not most people. And besides, everyone here at Chaldea has their own baggage. It's what we do now that matters."

Aozaki chuckled, shaking her head slightly. "You really are a strange one, Ritsuka. But I suppose that's not a bad thing. Just... don't let your guard down around me. I am who I am, after all."

"I know," Ritsuka replied. "And that's why you're here. We need your expertise, your knowledge. We're all in this together, and I trust you'll do what's best for our mission."

Aozaki gave him a long look before nodding. "Alright, kid. Let's get to work, then. We've got a lot to prepare for."

Ritsuka then looked at her. One more thing, you have to be a lot of inase to be the world of Mages teacher, you have to lost a lot of human mortality for this world, after all 99% of all mages are Inhuman and my parents are a rare few exception after all and we both know that

Aozaki nodded, her smirk returning. "You're right about that. The world of mages is brutal, and to survive, let alone thrive, you have to shed a lot of your humanity. Your parents were certainly exceptions, but even they had their moments."

Ritsuka's expression softened as he thought about his parents. "Yeah, they managed to hold on to their humanity despite everything. It's something I try to live up to."

Aozaki looked at him with a newfound respect. "It's not an easy thing, balancing humanity with the harsh realities of our world. But if anyone can do it, it's you. Just remember, staying human doesn't mean being weak. Sometimes, our greatest strength comes from our humanity."

Ritsuka nodded, feeling a sense of camaraderie with Aozaki. Despite her dark past and ruthless methods, he saw the value in her experience and wisdom. They were all in this together, facing a world of gods, monsters, and moral ambiguity.

"Thanks, Teacher," Ritsuka said, his voice sincere. "Let's make sure we're ready for whatever comes next."

Aozaki nodded, her eyes glinting with determination. "You got it, kid. Let's get to work."

As they continued their preparations, the sense of mutual respect and understanding between them grew stronger. In a world where the lines between right and wrong were often blurred, Ritsuka and Aozaki found common ground in their shared goal: to protect humanity and face the challenges of the Lostbelt together.
