The Wild Storm!

Continuing where we left off....

****************

I see that my friends are shocked by what I just said and to be honest I don't blame them for it.

💭You can be sure that I will have to give a long explanation when this is all over.....

Ivan:Anastasia. I leave the master's protection in your hands.

Ivan said, becoming lightning, disappearing from the place where he was.

Some monsters from Fragmentum appeared and tried to attack us, but Ana (Ritsuka's nickname for Anastasia) just extended her arm and the monsters were pierced by ice spikes.

Anastasia:These are different creatures.... It was to be expected, after all we are in a completely different world.

💭So they have already been summoned with information from here? How convenient.

Cocolia: Destroy them!

Cocolia shouts, ordering the giant robot to shoot a ray of light towards us, but I see Viy appearing on Ana's back and she creates a wall of ice that protects us from the attack.

March 7: Wow she didn't even move, and she has this control over the ice.....

Anastasia:This wall won't withstand another attack..... Ritsuka, are you sure you really want to destroy this robot?

Anastasia said, looking at me sideways, knowing how obsessed I am with robots or anything futuristic.

(A/N: Ritsuka is also a fan of magical girls like Illya, Myu, and Chloe, although It's not on the same level compared to giant robots.)

Ritsuka: Unfortunately yes.

I say this with an expression of regret and sadness.

💭 It's a painful sacrifice that I'm willing to make.

Anastasia doesn't answer me, but I can see a slight smile on her face. Once again you can feel a strong earthquake happening.

Seele:Damn! Again?! What is happening to this place?!

Suddenly a creature the size of a mountain emerges from the snow and I recognize it to be Ivan in his mammoth form.

Bronya:What is this...

Said Bronya being in complete shock at the sight of a mountainous mammoth.

March 7:Ok! I thought the situation couldn't get any worse, but I better stop thinking about it because the situation is only getting worse!

Dan Hang:This creature is emanating enormous pressure, I...I can't look directly at it.

Dan Hang said, having difficulty looking directly at Ivan and I notice that he is not the only one having this difficulty, everyone else is too, with the exception of me and Ana who are not suffering at all.

💭Ahh.... Probably because Ivan is close to a divine being and that's why he has enormous pressure for those who don't have high mental resistance end up not being able to look at him.

Ritsuka: Guys, I suggest you hold onto something nearby! There will be a wave of earthquakes from now on!

I say this and Ivan lets out a loud cry, making the storm stronger than ever.

Lightning strikes Cocolia's robot not allowing it to get close to it and I feel an insane amount of mana being accumulated in the trunk of the mammoth preparing his noble phantasm.

**************

Come forth and kill like a nightmare!

The time of enforcement has arrived.

Zveri Krestnyi Khod!!!

********************

Ivan throws his noble phantasm which hit the giant robot squarely and certainly ended up hitting Cocolia in the explosion as well.

The explosion was so immense that it made a wave of snow strong enough that we had to cover our eyes and after that we saw Cocolia's body falling to the ground from where we are.

Cocolia: Damn you, Ritsuka Fujimaru!

Said Cocolia getting up from the ground with cold winds covering her body.

Cocolia:But this isn't over yet! Behold! The power they gave me!

Cocolia screams, transforming when using the power that Stellaron gave her.

💭Wow, she's certainly become very strong now...

Cocolia:Listen to the power surge....sing.... The Stellaron's promise is the only hope for this world... Just as It dispelled the Antimatter Legion 700 years ago, so to will It wipe you from the face of this world!

Cocolia said, being very confident that she will be able to beat us.

Anastasia:What a pathetic woman... A fallen queen being dominated by fear and illusions of a destructive being..... It's pitiful.

Ana comments, looking coldly at Cocolia, not showing any kind of sympathy.

March 7:Ok everyone! Time for us to end this!

Ritsuka: You can be sure. March and Bronya bring up the rear! Me, Ana and Ivan will provide support. Dan Hang,Stelle and Seele are on the front lines! Let's end this fight for the future of Belobog!

Everyone got into their proper position and we started attacking, Cocolia.

Bronya and March are attacking Cocolia. Distance, while me, Ana and Ivan are opening an attacking opening for Dan Hang, Stelle and Seele to attack.

Cocolia received damage from our teamwork, but she still had one more trick up her sleeve.

Cocolia:Hahahaha. Humanity...so weak and foolish. Always overestimating their abilities. Let me bestow upon you all...despair!

Said Cocolia doing an imitation of Gilgamesh in throwing several large crystals towards us.

Ritsuka:Careful all of you!

I say this warning everyone about Cocolia's attack. Anastasia manages to protect us, but it wasn't long before the ice wall was destroyed and we had to deal with each crystal, unfortunately Stelle ends up being hit by one of them in the chest.

Ritsuka: Stelle!

I'm surprised by what I saw and would immediately go on the offensive if I didn't hear HooH's voice.

HooH:(She's not dead....)

💭 What?!

HooH:(She acquired a new path.. )

The moment HooH said that, Stelle gets up from the ground with the spear that had pierced her heart and I feel Preservation's gaze.

Ritsuka: Is she alive?!

March 7: Of all the crazy things you've done, does Stelle surviving surprise you?!

Stelle: I'm fine guys! Time to test this new toy!

Stelle said, holding her new fire spear firmly. Cocolia looks at Stelle's spear, surprised to see that Stelle received the blessing of Preservation like me.

(A/N: Something I unfortunately forgot to add from the last chapter. Ritsuka also received a blessing from Preservation in the form of Saint Quartz)

Cocolia:No.... It can't be...

Bronya:The will of Preservation has made its choice....

Cocolia:You know nothing of the plight of this world.... nothing of the wait for Its final end!

Anastasia: Wrong. We were summoned by this world's cry for help with the aim of ensuring its preservation!

Ritsuka: Exactly! We won't let you destroy this place!

Cocolia:Then die with him! The power of Stellaron is with me.... You are embers of the old world soon turned to ashes!

Cocolia shouted, covering herself in imaginary energy and she created a huge crystal of creation and threw it towards us. Fortunately, Ivan's lightning hits the crystal in the air, destroying it instantly and I see that Cocolia is running out of energy.

Ritsuka: Now's our chance! Ana! Use your Noble Phantasm and create an opening and Stelle! I'll let you do the honors.

I say this with a smile on my face for both of them.

Anastasia/Stelle: Right!

At the same moment, Viy becomes visible again and Ana begins to use her mystic eyes.

**********

Viy,behold It all

Pierce through everything.

Lay your incredible power as an offering at my grave.

Viy,Viy,Viy!

**************

Distorting the principles of causality, Viy unleashes her full power creating an ice weakness in Cocolia's chest providing the perfect opportunity for Stelle to deliver the final blow.

(A/N: For those who don't know, Viy's power is the same thing as Gae Bolg, but instead of giving "certain death" it creates a "weakness" in the opponent)

Stelle:Flaming lance! Forward!

Stelle advances at high speed towards Cocolia and pierces her chest, causing an explosion of fire that makes her lose her transformation.

However, the fight is not over yet. Cocolia, still with energy, holds the Stellaron and places it inside her body.

💭She wants to die?! That crazy woman!

Bronya runs towards her mother, but Seele grabs her arm.

Cocolia:Stellaron....promised us the future! It will....engulf everything!

The ground around Cocolia began to emit an immense wave of energy and Bronya tries again to go to her mother, but an energy barrier prevents her from getting closer.

HooH:(It's time to do one of your duties as Emanator of Equilibrium, Ritsuka...)

Ritsuka:I know.... This won't be pleasant at all.

I mutter that and run towards Cocolia and like I did with Stelle my eyes change color and I go through the barrier taking Cocolia and Bronya by surprise.

Bronya: Ritsuka!

Cocolia:What are you-

I interrupt her and place my right hand on the Stellaron which is full of power.

Ritsuka: Putting an end to this "future" of yours!

Before Stellaron exploded I look at my friends with a smile on my face.

Ritsuka:Don't worry guys. I'll be right back from my "walk".

I say this by making a joke as soon as Stellaron consumes me and Cocolia together.

*******************

Unknown Location

********************

I open my eyes and see that I am back in the city of Belobog, but the sky does not exist and it is possible to see space and the stars.

Ritsuka: Hmm.....

I don't see any signs of life, it seems like the place is completely empty and I understand the place I am.

Ritsuka: A personal dimension....or a Reality Marble?

💭This was probably done thanks to the will that Stellaron inherited from the other Guardians.

At that moment I feel a huge presence behind me and I see an entity in female human form.

???:Your presence is not welcome in this world. Destroyer!

Said the entity speaking several times at the same time and the being is floating giving a certain air of divinity.

Ritsuka: Can I assume you are Stellaron's will taking shape? Herta, you will be happy to know this information.

I say this without showing fear towards the Stellaron entity.

Stellaron's Will: You are a destroyer of worlds like us. Why are you going against our wishes? Could it be that the seven worlds you plucked from the "tree" weren't enough for you?

Stellaron said, mentioning the Lostbelts that I erased from existence and this ends up catching my attention.

Ritsuka:How do you know this?

Stellaron's Will: We know everything that happened. From the actions of the entity you call the Alien God he intends to expand his "humanity" beyond the universe and we agree with his plan.

Ritsuka:Then you know I want to destroy that goal of his. He is responsible for everything that happened to me!

I say this without being able to control my hatred for Olga's father's actions.

Stellaron's Will: And you are responsible for destroying the desires of several other worlds that were in the same situation as Belobog, don't you think you are being a bit hypocritical?

Ritsuka:I had no choice! If I had another alternative things could be different! Everything I'm doing is to ensure my survival!

Stellaron's Will: And the guardians' desire is for the same "survival" you are fighting for. Ironic, isn't it?

Ritsuka:Wrong! You manipulated the other Guardians to achieve your goal of destroying the planet! If it weren't for Qlipoth, humanity would have been dead long before Cocolia existed! You're the one who made her go off the right path!

Stellaron's will: And you think you have the right to judge the guardians' desire?!

Said the entity making the whole world shake and I see an army of large creatures from Fragmentum ready to attack me.

Stellaron's Will:We are many and you are just one man against our perfect world!

Ritsuka:Then this is a fair fight.

I say this causing black flames to cover my entire body and for the first time I decide to wear my Avenger armor.

(Photo)

I take my sword out of its sheath and pierce the ground causing the fire from my sword blade to spread quickly.

The flames grow stronger, covering the entire world that Stellaron created. The city of Belobog turns into my hometown Tokyo.

(Photo)

Stellaron's Will:What? H-How?! How did you manage to take control of the world?!

Ritsuka: Have you never seen a person capable of "expanding their own domain"?

The entity just orders Fragmentum's monsters towards me and I take Excalibur off the ground that is on fire.

I accumulated mana on my sword and with a simple horizontal attack I destroyed a large part of the army.

(A/N: And the same way Saber Alter fought Hercules, using Mana Burst several times)

Ritsuka: I hope you have more monsters in your inventory. Because I won't stop.

I say that I advanced towards the army and several monsters tried to ambush me, but many flaming shadow wards cut through all the monsters.

Every time I swing my Excalibur my flames burn the surrounding buildings.

The Stellaron entity shoots several rays of imaginary energy towards me and I counterattack by swinging my sword, causing an explosion on contact.

Stellaron's Will: How do you have so much power?! You are just a simple human! A person who is only alive by luck!

Ritsuka: Yes, I just survived most of my fights by pure luck, on that I agree. However, at this moment I am not a simple human....

I say this by causing the entire city to catch flames and the flames consume the rest of the army of monsters and the flames fly directly to Excalibur's blade.

Ritsuka: At this moment I am a vengeful spirit. Carrying the desire for revenge of an entire planet and until my revenge is realized, my power will not end!

I release a wave of heat that immediately puts pressure on the entity and a trumpet sound begins to echo in the city and I begin to use one of my noble phantasms.

*****************

Beyond the skies,the far side of the earth.

At the end of the world my rage will not rest!

Burn this world to ashes!

EXCALIBUR!!!

****************

My noble phantasm hits Stellaron's will in full and a huge explosion of fire consumes the entire city, transforming the city into a white burning desert and I see the entity's body slowly disappearing and soon after I see Stellaron returning to normal form.

I pick up the Stellaron from the ground and use my powers to seal it, the process was smooth since I destroyed the will that was inside.

Suddenly I feel an immense and powerful presence and I look to where the presence is coming from and I see the Aeon of Destruction Nanoock.

I see their gaze looking at me directly and then I feel immense pain in my head and visions of destruction appear in my mind.

Ritsuka:Arghh!!! Get out of my head!!!

I scream in pain and agony and feel an unknown power trying to enter my body and as if Nanoock is trying to communicate with me.

It's like they're trying to tell me why they want to destroy all of creation.

But before Nanoock could do what they want I hear a girl's voice.

???: What a rude Aeon. Trying to force the blessing on someone without permission. Plus they are doing this to my contractor.... They are really quite bold.

The moment the girl says this I see Nanoock's expression looking surprised and at the same moment their presence disappears as if nothing had happened.

???: I hope this makes them think twice before forcing a "path" on someone.

I manage to recover from the mental attack I received recently and I look at the girl who literally cast out the Aeon of Destruction.

I didn't detect this girl approaching and I certainly didn't recognize her. Besides the fact of the "innocent" smile, but her presence screams "abnormal".

???: You passed my test.... For you to be able to look at me directly without losing your mind means that your mind is already distorted enough to be able to withstand my presence.

💭A test?

Said the girl, keeping her abnormal smile and she creates a portal next to her with Cocolia's unconscious body.

???: I knew you would end up burning everything down, so I decided to give a little help in making sure this woman doesn't get caught in the crossfire. You're welcome.

The girl said, looking at me with a look of pure interest and curiosity.

Ritsuka:Who are you?

I ask this question being completely on alert. This girl is very dangerous, probably more powerful than that "monster" in the form of a spider.

???: Why ask this question if we already know each other? Oh yeah, you've never seen me "in person". No problem, we will resolve this soon, but not now. After all, you need to be in a certain place with this woman.

???:🎶Hmm..🎶Hmm..🎶Hmm..🎶

Said the girl, walking away from me, humming a song that I don't recognize.

(A/N:She's humming the Gaunter O'Dimm song)

It disappears from my vision and I feel like the dimension is disappearing.

💭 I better get out of here.

I take Cocolia in my arms and teleport out of the dimension and return to Belobog using my Emanator powers which allows me to travel in space.

************

I return and appear in the same place I was last time and I see my friends being in shock.

Everyone: Ritsuka?!

Ritsuka: Hello, everyone. Sorry for the delay.

Everyone ran towards me and the first to react was Bronya when she saw me holding her mother.

Bronya: Mother.....

Ritsuka: She's unconscious, I assume she should wake up in a few hours. Natasha's presence would be great right now.

Stelle:What happened to you?!

Seele: Exactly! You decide to go to Stellaron risking your life and you still have the audacity to say that you are going to go for a "walk"?!

Ritsuka:In a way it was a very enthusiastic walk....

Seele: If you make a joke one more time, I swear I'll stick this scythe in -

Before Seele could finish speaking, Dan Hang ended up saving me in the nick of time.

Dan Hang: I think the most important question is about the Stellaron.

Ritsuka:Ah! The Stellaron is sealed. I had to fight against Stellaron's will that took shape thanks to the other Supreme Guardians.

I say this leaving my friends in silence for a moment until March broke the ice.

March 7:What?!

Ritsuka: Don't worry about it. The important thing is that Stellaron is sealed and Cocolia is no longer under the control of one entity.

I say this with a smile on my face and I was going to talk to my Servants until March starts talking again.

March 7:Ok... But what is this complete appearance change?

Ritsuka: Huh?

Stelle: You are wearing a black knight's armor, a sword in its sheath and your hair is white.

Seele: Also, your left eye looks different.

💭What? Are my hair and eye are different?

This answer left me confused and March 7 took a mirror from I don't know where, and she placed the mirror in front of me showing my reflection.

💭Huh..... I have to say I look good with white hair, who knew.... Wait a minute.

I look more closely at my reflection and as Seele said my left eye has a completely different appearance, instead of simply being golden in color the pupils have a different appearance too.

(A/N: His left eye looks the same as Kiana's eye when she is being possessed by Sirin.)

💭What is this?

For some reason when I see the appearance of my eye I feel a slight chill and I look at my friends and I let out a slight sigh.

Ritsuka: We really have a lot to talk about.....

Next chapter. Farewell and a promise....

*****************

A/N:I really hope you guys enjoyed the fights. Please, if you have criticisms about the performance, tell me because I may not be able to see certain errors in the story from my perspective.

Another thing I hope you're enjoying the end of this arc and one last thing I have to add to this story is that in addition to the main stories I'm going to include each character's personal missions to lengthen the story.

Because if I only include the main story, the fanfic should end at least 50 chapters, 70 at most. I want to at least reach 100 in this story.

I can't forget to talk about the secondary stories that will give exposure to the characters that Ritsuka met at the beginning such as Robin, Aventurine, Topaz and so on.
