Seven years after the Second Great War ends, peace came and countries finally gotten back on track but now, new evil threatens the peace they acquired. In a desperate attempt, people from MÄR-Heaven gather once again the members Team MÄR and those who fought the Chess Pieces. They even went as far as to have Dorothy summon Ginta and Danna once again to the world of MÄR with Gate Keeper Clown, the Dimension ÄRM. Though somehow, the new evil forces foresaw this and made a move to interfere with the plan. Now instead of Ginta and Danna entering MÄR-Heaven again, it was two normal students.
Chapter 1
Dorthy the Witch of Kaldea waited at one of the many open field of Lestava with the former members of Team MÄR for the last member to arrive. The corners of her mouth quirked up a bit, seeing the last member arriving. Though the members kept in touch with each others, they haven't all met up in a long while and seeing each other brought on the familiar comforting mood they develop during the war. Hey, fighting to death with each other during a war does that to you. It make you develop an irreplaceable friendship with each other.
"Yo!" Jack the youngest male member greeted them cheerfully, "Sorry I'm late but I needed to help Ma with something before I had to leave."
A number of replies greeted him in different ways. Some were a nice or silent 'hellos', another was a pat (though it's more like a big slate of rock hitting him) on his back with booming voice next to his ears.
"Now," Dorothy started as she held her right hand up with a Dimension ÄRM one of her fingers, "As we all know, we're here together for another upcoming war even if I wanted this meeting to catch up with each other instead. It took me quite a while to get my hand on this so we better hope we bring Gintan and Danna-san back."
"Don't worry Dorothy-chan!" Nanashi, the leader of Luberia said smiling with a dismissing hand, "I'm pretty sure we'll get to see them again, if not one of them."
"Shh!" Snow, the beloved princess of Lestava quickly tried to hush him with wide eyes, "Don't say that! You'll jinx it!" Snow nervously look back and forth as if she's trying to find someone to contradict what Nanashi said.
Jack and Alan, the guard of the princess laughed boisterously at the paranoid Snow while Nanashi just grinned widely. Only Dorothy and Alviss didn't seem to find it funny because mostly when one says that, it always come back at you. Though the two silently hope that Nanashi was to be right.
"Don't worry Snow," Jack grinned while patting softly on her shoulder, "Every thing's going to be fine."
Dorothy and Alviss look at Jack with a deadpan face. He just had to say it.
"W-what?" Jack asked upon seeing their displeased face, "Why are you two looking at me like that?"
Karma who was a formless entity happens just to be around them, even if Karma pity their ongoing wars, they just love to speak things that attracts Karma like bees to honey flowers. Karma shakes its nonexistent head and sighs it's nonexistent breath, wondering when will humans or anybody will learn.
Somewhere far away from Team MÄR, in a castle a figure was peering through a mirror hanging on a wall. The figure crosses the arms and leaned back slightly from the mirror while making a 'tut-tut' noise. Though the noise was muffled behind a elegant mask and beautiful engraving decorating across the smooth surface. "I can't let you do that," said the mysterious figure with elegant robes but somehow even with all the layers, it was made easy to move in, "If I did than His Majesty would be utmost displeased with me."
The figure watches the mirror playing the events of the witch summon the rare Dimension ÄRM, the Gate Keeper Clown. Smiling, even if no one sees it, the hand waved across the mirror making it rippled like the ocean before it settles. Instead of MÄR-Heaven the mirror showed before, it was Earth where the previous champions from the wars resides in. Easily enough, the mirror spotted the two former members that fought in the previous war.
Smirking just a bit, the Gate Keeper Clown slowly appears in front of them and it amused the figure slightly to see others running around in panic or even courageously walking closer at the sight of the gate. Watching the two smiling at the chance to go back to MÄR-Heaven even if it was for war, they excitedly waited for the cross eyed clown to roll the dice. The two woman, Koyuki and Sayori, Ginta's mother could only sigh and smile at them while wishing them luck. Though they worried over them, they can't stop the one thing they missed.
The smirk behind the mask grew as the dice landed on a two, just before the two could go in, the hands already found its way in the mirror and in front of the two. A bracelet on one of the arms glowed, it forced the four away from the gate. Looking around in the mirror, the hands found two seemingly useless teenagers running away. Grabbing hold onto their hands and ignoring the surprised and incredulously looks on their faces, they were forced into the gate with a help from a glowing ring.
With the job done, the figure retreated the hands out of the mirror. Fixing the robes while having one last look at the surprised faces of Ginta and Danna, backing away from the mirror. It rippled before settling to a darken regular looking glass. As much as the figure wants to see the reaction of Team MÄR, making the King wait was a no-no.
The ring on Dorothy's finger broke, signaling the complete success of the Gate Keeper Clown job. The group of five couldn't wait until they see Ginta and Danna again.
But instead of the sight of the two men, it was of two young people. The two look warily around them and the people in front of them.
The expression of Team MÄR varies from one to another, some even held comically expressions that the two strangers were familiar with.
Alviss and the rest watch as the young man with long slivery light blue hair tied into a low ponytail tensed at the unfamiliar surrounding and stood in front of the semi-long brown haired girl.
"Who are you people?" came the low voice of the man with a frown placed upon his feminine features, "And where are we?"
Dorothy watched him guarded the girl like a seasoned fighter and sighed. She knew it, it was too good to be true if things could work out smoothly. Before she could answer their new guests, Jack exclaimed loudly in question, "Who are you? You're not Ginta or Danna-san!"
The narrowed ice blue eyes rolled as if he was far superior than the one in front of him before saying sarcastically, "Of course I'm not this Ginta or Danna, monkey. Anyone with a bit of brains cells and eyes can see that."
The rest of the group had to snicker at this. Though some more subtly than the others.
"Hey!" Jack said loudly while blush started to creep up his neck and ears, "I'm not a monkey!" Just as he was about to stomp across the few meters that separated them, he was held back by Alan.
"Please excuse Jack," Snow said as she elegantly walked in front of Jack, "I am Princess Snow of Lestava. You two are currently on the grounds of Lestava Kingdom's." Turning, she motioned at her friends, "This is Jack as you know, this is Dorothy, then this is Alviss and the fairy Belle, Nanashi, and my guard Alan." Once she finished introducing them, she faces the two teenagers and bowed slightly like a true princess. "We mean you no harm and on the behalf of Lestava Kingdom, I welcome you two to MÄR-Heaven. We are sorry to drag you two into this mess, we never expected to bring forth civilians other than Ginta and Danna. If you would please follow us to my kingdom, I would prepare two rooms for you two to stay in for the time being while we discuss your situation and figure a way to get you two back to your home."
Spoken like a true princess, the rest were quite surprised and proud on how quickly Snow handle the situation. Snow truly have grown up in mind like a true ruler.
"No," Came the short and firm reply of the man, "We won't go unless you explain everything to us."
The endowed and well develop girl with green eyes behind her friend almost wanted to smack her head before she settle on smacking his head instead, "Mi-chan!" She said with a note of frustration, "Don't be so rude! I mean, in a castle with food? What are the chances we get to experience it?!"
"Plenty on the rate of our luck," Came the deadpan reply of his, "But of course with the monkey sized brain of yours, you wouldn't remember our chances during our high school year."
"Mi-chan!" She exclaimed with anger boiling up inside of her. She squashed it while taking deep breath with her eyes closed. She slowly open her eyes towards the mysterious group of people in front of her with a smile, "Sorry about that, Mi-chan is always rude and frigid man like that. My name is Fuuko Kirisawa and this rude man is Mi-chan or-"
"Tokiya Mikagami," The ice blue eyes man said bluntly as he interrupted her while he studied the group, "Not any of those ridiculous nicknames she calls me." Though he was sure he knew none of those in front of him, he got an eerily feeling of familiarity of the blond smiling man. He was going to make note of that man soon enough.
Chuckling, Snow smiled a smile that remind the two of their friend Yanagi and it almost instantaneously made the two trust her quickly, almost. "If you would please get on this," Snow said as Alan activate Flying Carpet Dimension ÄRM, "It would take us to Lestava's Castle soon enough."
"Holy shit!" Fuuko exclaimed with wide-eyes, "Mi-chan! It's a flying carpet! It almost feel like Aladdin."
"Yes I can see that," Tokiya said and he wanted to add more but he was quickly dragged on to the carpet by Fuuko.
