Chapter I: Fiery Grave and Reborn
Date: 09/12/2015
Time: 1:28 PM
Location: Nevada, Nuclear Power Plant
"Sometimes I think the universe likes screwing with me" Said a dark clad tanned injured teen, his trench coat was torn all over and was missing the left sleeve... along with his left arm, his grey pants were full of red spots from his blood that flowed down to his black and white shoes, his rigid breathing was one of the few things he heard, that and the pipe that was currently lodged in his side.
Falling pipes, turbines exploding, alarms blaring, falling debris, the intense heat, workers dying left and right, it was totally chaos, all around him, flaming pipes skewering, the Nuclear Power Plant was doomed right to hell.
Now for those who are wondering why this teen is heavily injured in a burning Nuclear Power Plant, well this was a field trip for anyone who had 90% or higher grade level, that and he volunteered to chaperoning preschoolers around the plant, everything went fine in till everything started exploding, he was mostly helping kids out of the burning power plant, and the reason he was still here was because some kids were still in the bathroom, in the chaos his arm got pinned by some rubble, hence why it was missing and the exit was blocked now.
Despite the searing pain he was in he was able to get to his feet quick enough to doge the ascending inferno that almost consumed him and nearly sent him to a fiery grave. The burning inferno was a very intriguing sight to behold once you ignore the corpse of the burning or dead people that were skewered by the falling heated pipes.
So here he was back to the wall, watching everything burn around him, ignoring the searing pain he got up from the floor and grabbed the pipe that was in his stomach and rips out the hollow pipe from his stomach with little to no effort. Ignoring the searing pain from ripping the pipe out he reaches out to grabbed his IPad, that somehow survived, he really was going to die with this danm thing with him, just like he said would, he unlocks the IPad and presses the music icon and heads to his most used playlist and plays Queens "Another One Bites the Dust". It felt so right at the moment.
"Well it's been a good run while it lasted, just wish it was a little longer though" The teen said to himself as the song played next to him, he moved slightly over to avoid a falling pipe that almost Impaled him, the explosions were getting bigger by the second and we're getting closer to him, smirking to himself, the teen closes his eyes to avoid the bright white flash and the power plant went up in a mushroom cloud.
*Scene Change*
-Halkeginia, Tristain' Academy of Magic-
It was another beautiful morning at the Tristain Academy and all it's students were excited for the today's special event, that is soon taking it's place, it was the day of the traditional sacred ritual of summoning a Familiar for all nobles.
This ritual is said to determine your skill and the potential as a mage, the greater summon, the greater mage, it also shows your main affinity for magic, for example salamanders for fire mages and griffins for wind mages and the list goes on. If one were to fail this sacred pact between mage and their summon, it would be considered a great disgrace for the mage and even his/her family as a Noble.
While it was a great and exciting day for every student in the academy, there was a exception in one, her full name is Louise Françoise Le Blanc de La Vallière or Louise De La Valliere in shorter term. She's a noble from the famous and powerful La Valliere house and a daughter of Dean de La Valliere, the duke of Tristain and Karin de La Valliere the duchess. Dean is more powerful than line-class mage, but not quite triangle-class mage either, Karin on the other hand is a square-class wind mage and the most powerful wind user of Tristain with the moniker 'The Heavy Wind' Karin, she also was the former commander of the Manticore Knights.
Back to Louise, She has small delicate build, height of 4'9" ft with fla- (*cue the Louise' Death Glare towards Doctor Corvus and Authors*) err.. *cough* Slightly smaller than average chest... Anyway she has long pink wavy hair down to her lower back, pink eyes and slightly paler skin complexion, she's wearing now the usual Academy's school uniform the long sleeved white button up blouse, black skirt, black cape reaching to her feet pinned by a circular, gold or brass pin attached to a ribbon, a pair of black shoes and black stocking socks that reaches her middle-thighs.
She was quite famous, no scratch that, infamous would be the correct term for her unique reputation at school, you see she can't use magic, other than blowing the living hell out of everything she waves her wand at. Because of this she's always ridiculed and made fun at, hell she even gained the moniker of her own, which she is NOT happy with 'Louise The Zero'.
That nickname has pretty much haunted her the very moment when she started the school here, she sighed, she was now standing next to her fellow classmates at the yard, where the summon ritual is soon taking it's place. This Familiar summon was going to be her final change to prove herself, if she fails, she would be expelled and sent back home disgracing her family in the process. What would her family think? Would they still love her or... She didn't even want to think about the possible worse case scenarios.
"Alright everyone gather around, today is the day of your summoning!" The voice brought Louise out from her thoughts and payed attention to their teacher, Mr. Colbert
Professor Jean Colbert, he's a tall man around 6 feet in his middle-forties, with bolding dark grayish-brown hair and blue eyes behind the round glasses, wearing blue robes with white lines and a brown backpack strapped from his left shoulder to the right hip. He also held a long magic staff on his right hand with red lines on top.
"This is the first Exam of your second year, as well as the sacred day of your first encounter of your Familiar spirit who you will spend the rest of your life with as a part of an aristocratic family." While their teacher was giving his speech to his students, another voice came from behind her, the usual annoying sultry voice that irked her to no end.
"Well, Well Zero Louise, I'm really looking forward to see how Great of a familiar you're going to summon" She emphasized the word 'Great' with heavy sarcasm. This girl was a Germanian, Kirche Von Zerbst, Louise's supposed rival and a MAJOR pain in her rear from the day one. She has a long red straight hair that fell down to her hips with some bangs covering one of her amber eyes from sight. (the right eye) Her height was 5'7" ft and she had a voluptuous body with big chest and shapely hips, and dark skin, that almost all men seem to drool over for. Kirche is well known by school populace for her habit of playing around with multiple guys during her free time.
She wore the same uniform with few changes, her blouse was opened on the top giving a good view of her bust, slightly shorter skirt and wore a golden ring as a choker on her neck.
She rrreally wanted to use her wand to wipe off that irritating smirk on her face, knowing that it would blow her all the way to sunday, Literally.
"Hmph! Just leave me alone you walking red light district, why don't you go flirt around like you always do?" She barked back.
"My I'd love to, but we're still in the middle of the important ceremony that even I don't really want to skip, so I'll have to wait till class is over, for now!" Kirche responded in cheery tone. Not in the least bothered by Louise's obvious insult.
Louise sweat dropped by Kirche's response 'So she's not really denying the red light part...'
-Timeskip-
Louise watched from the sidelines as student after student, one-by-one, summons their Familiars, Bugbears very weird looking things, Owls, Frogs, Moles, wow... Kirche even managed to summon a salamander! Rare big red lizards that spits fire, that lives around only certain volcanoes. Then there's... wait is... is that a Dragon!? Tabitha managed to summon a big blue colored Wind dragon!
And before she knew it, only she was left to do the summoning... She started to feel very nervous even scared
"So was that all of you now?" She heard Mr. Colbert's voice in the distance among the students
"No, Miss Valliere is still left" That was Kirche, as she pointed at Louise behind the other students
*Gulp!* she swallowed hard and steeled her resolve, forcing her trembling to stop. Then she pulled out her wand and started walking in the middle of the yard's clearing getting ready to summon her familiar.
She could heard the other classmates whispering to each other, "Hey look it's The Zero Louise, man" "I wonder what she's going to summon" "I don't know dude, last time I checked explosives or ashes didn't really count as familiars" Some started chuckling to the boy's joke.
Louise took a deep breath, then she started the summoning...
#Scene Break#
Boundary of Limbo
A cloaked Reaper stood in front of the summoning portal with a dark blueish purple squid creature in its hand.
"Well, here's your second chance kid, have fun" The Reaper said as he tosses the squid creature through the portal.
"I wonder if the kid will still have his memories?" The Reaper said to himself
#Scene Break#
To the surprise of none, an explosion erupted from the summoning circle. Following it was a series of coughs, swears and line class wind spells to clear away the dust and then laughter.
Louise nearly broke her wand in half as she grit her teeth. All that preparation, all those pep talks from her Godfather and Xeno, all of that waiting with anxiety... pointless. Utterly pointless.
"Children, please, calm down" Professor Colbert said in an attempt to silence the students, but they just ignored him and laughed, the only one who wasn't was a petite and bespectacled bluenette who was reading her book.
Louise turned away from the summoning circle and the students as she began to walk away.
Until she felts something touch her shoe.
Looking down, she came face to face with the most bizarre creature she's ever seen:
It was a indigo creature, almost aquatic and had eight or nine stubby tentacles that moves slowly around to probably grasp something, no head other than a circle with a small mouth with sharpe teeth. It was a 2 feet in length, it has pair of stubby 8 inch tentacles with suction cups and it was prodding and poking Louise's ankle with its long front tentacles.
As she bent down to pick it up, the laughter of the other students began to die out as they saw the strange being she summoned, Professor Colbert appeared amazed at the fact that she seemed to have successfully summoned a familiar.
Whatever it was
"Congratulations Miss Valliere! You have successfully summoned a familiar! Now all you need to do is finalize the contract!" the bald scholar exclaimed with a smile, Louise frowned thoughtfully as she looked at the thing she held aloft, each hand under its curved body, it just hung there, slightly moving in her grasp with its mouth slightly agape, its tentacles wagging slowly and its apparently purple tongue hanging out of its mouth.
THIS was her Ultimate familiar?
She held it closer to her face and narrowed her eyes at it, as she did so, it stopped whatever it was doing and just stared at her
Then it extended it long tentacle and tapped her nose.
Yepa, Ultimate
Ultimately ADORABLE!
Her eyes practically sparkling, Louise resisted the urge to squeal as she looked at her very own familiar, whatever it was, it wasn't big, it wasn't magical (as far as she could tell) and it certainly wasn't any kind of creature she's ever heard of.
But by the Founder, it was cute.
"My name is Louise Francoise Le Blanc de La Valliere. Pentagon of the five elemental powers, bless this being and make him my familiar" Louise said before giving the little indigo creature a small kiss on the crown of its head(?), with a spark, suddenly magic runes began to carve into the squid-like being's head, before, much to Colbert's shock, spreading all over its body. Arms, legs, head, all over it had archaic runes, glowing with light. Once they were carved, the light faded and the runes vanished.
"Splendid! Now then, off you all trot, it's nearly eight and you all need rest so you can enjoy the entire day with your new familiars tomorrow! Off you all go!" Jean Colbert said with a hearty chuckle as the students began to wander off, most of them still shocked that Louise managed to summon a familiar.
Louise herself was cuddling the little creature with gusto, completely oblivious of the fact that all but her, her Godfather and her adopted brother/bodyguard.
"It seems you pass with flying colors dear Louise, just as I expected"
Louise turned to see a tanned skin teenager wearing a jet black fancy tailed coat and suit with a neon green vest and white shirt underneath with a pair of black sunglasses, he had neon green silted eyes and hair and stood around 5'9 in height, this boy was Xeno Zeno universal spy master and assistant, he appears both everywhere and nowhere at once and at the most oddest of times, and in this universe he was Louise's adopted brother… and doubles as a bodyguard.
"Ahem, Louise, bed time" The bald teacher said as he cleared his throat loudly, gaining Louise's and Xeno's attention
"A-ah, right, Good night Professor, Xeno"
"Good night/Sleep well" Colbert and Xeno said with a smile as Louise began to jog to the academy, suddenly, she stopped and turned around with a smile
"Thank you, Uncle Colbert, Nii-San (brother), for believing in me"
"Anytime Louise/Only for you Imōto (little sister)"
After giving the man and teen a beaming smile, Louise went off to her room, leaving behind a chuckling middle aged scholar and (unknown) spy/assistant, though there was something on his mind.
'Why do I have the feeling that I know that familiar?" Xeno thought
#Louise's room#
Completely ignoring the little pile of hay she originally prepared for her familiar, she placed it on her bed instead before beginning to change into her nightdress, she then crawled under the sheets, her familiar crawling under them with her, much to her delight. Good, that meant that it recognized her as its master and it also allows her to cuddle with it some more.
"I have a familiar... an adorable little familiar... I'm not a failure after all..." Louise muttered happily as she stroked her familiar's body, until she came to a revelation, "Oh, that's right, I need to give you a name"
She paused for a moment, her face scrunching up into a thoughtful expression
Minutes passed and yet she had no idea what to call her familiar
"...you know what, confound it, I think I'll just call you Xino, yes, direct, simple and it describes you perfectly"
As she closed her eyes and hugged her familiar closer, she failed to notice it show a hint of a discomfort at the name.
#elsewhere#
"ACCHOOO!" A female lookalike of Xeno said with a neon red and black color scheme sneezed loudly
"Bless you Xino" Xeno said to his red lookalike, his arms crossed as he stared at the horizon, the blue lookalike sniffled and rubbed her nose before grimacing
"I just had the strangest feeling Bruder (brother)"
"Oh do tell Nee-chan (sister)"
"I don't know but I think someone used my name"
"Don't we all"
