IM BACK. Hopefully. Maybe. Probably not. This one took way too long to get out because I lost interest in Dota for a while. I'll try to do better in the future.

Slyr3x- Your story was actually my inspiration for writing this!

paradoxjr-I'm planning on Axe soon. Chopping people apart. Probably lots of people.

Shirosaki Kizuro- Probably not razor, I cant stand his voice. I dont want it stuck in my head the entire time I'm writing him. As for the other two, Juggernaut is the most likely.

Nemesis the Asshole- No idea what that even means, but I'll look it up!

I do not own Familiar of Zero. I do not own Dota. I do not own any companies who may own either of these franchises. I do not make money off this story, nor do I plan on ever doing so.

Louise Françoise Le Blanc de La Vallière has felt quite the rollercoaster of emotions over the past few hours. First, her summoning spell seemingly failed. Then, it turned out it hadn't failed; she had summoned two, strange little creatures in a wagon, who promptly charged at her with what appeared to be lit barrels of gunpowder filling their cart nearly to the brim. They easily shrugged off a fireball from her teacher, Mr. Colbert, only to be thrown across the field by a panicked fireball from Louise herself, which failed as usual. They shrugged that off too, eventually, only to run back towards Louise and demand to know exactly how she did that.

Today truly was not her day.

"Come on!" "Tell us how you did that!" "Was it nitroglycerin?" "Trinitrotoluene?" "Ammonium nitrate?" They followed her through the halls now, releasing a constant string of words she had no understanding of. She whipped around, fury plastered across her face, and said, simply:

"FIREBALL!"

And they were violently sent into the wall opposite them. Of course, seemingly on par with the rest of her day, they got back up immediately, tipped their strange wagon back over, and were immediately back at her side, spewing more words she could not make heads or tails of.

"Maybe it was a spell?" "There wasn't any heat to it!" "Not much of a fireball, then!" "Is that stick the catalyst?" "Uhh, guys…" ""WHO SAID THAT?""

And then they were flung into the wall once more.

Blessed silence. After hours upon hours of badgering her, spouting complete nonsense about "TNT" or "Nitroglycerin", they disappeared as she turned a corner, and she had not seen them since. Then she looked out the window.

"What are they doing down there? Are those… Seeds?"

She watched them as they dug small holes in the ground, and placed massive, spiked balls into the dirt, with about half of it sticking out of the ground. After a second or so of being "planted", they disappeared; one moment they were there, and the next, poof. Then, they disappeared from her line of sight once more, vanishing off the edge of the window's frame. She simply shrugged, and went back to reading.

An hour or so later, she saw them once more, with a very angry looking Guiche in tow, two slap marks adorning each side of his face. She opened her window to find out what was going on, and her face paled when she overheard their conversation:

"We just wanted to know what was in the bottle!" "Yeah!" They said to Guiche. he responded to them, his rage evident in his tone. "You went directly to Montmorency with the bottle of perfume!" "She smelled like an alchemist!" His face turned an even darker shade of red. "SHE WAS WEARING PERFUME!" ""Wazzat?"" Guiche's fury finally reached the tipping point, and he pulled out his wand, pointing it at the strange little things. With a flourish of his wand, a single petal fell down to the ground, and the earth where it impacted began to rise up, taking the form of a metal warrior. "I WILL NOT SUFFER THIS HUMILIATION!" She heard him outright scream. The Techies had looked almost bored during their conversation, but now their interest had been peaked, apparently. "Does that mean we're enemies now?" "Yes! Yes, it does. Now prepare to die!" A manic grin spread across their collective faces.

And then she watched Guiche's legs disappear, in a cloud of red mist.

I'm so sorry this one is short, and I'm so sorry it took so long to get out. I'll try harder for the next chapter(s). As for this one, I tried to make it very Techies-esque. Very fast and frantic. Please tell me what you think.
