Lord Joyde : So yeah, now that I've told you all my most sincere apologies, lets skip all the shitty,boring and otherwise emotional stuff and GET ON WITH THE new story.
This is, as you can see, yet another Prototype-Anime, crossover, This time with Familiar of Zero. I know that there are only a couple stories of this type and I wasn't very satisfied with them.
If you are new to my stories and not one of my old fans, I hope that you will find my unquestionable insanity and ever growing ego, interesting enough to read and have fun whilst doing so.
Ah, I said, lets get on with the story and yet, here I am, writing my ass off about Non-story oriented stuff. How ironic wouldn't you agree?
Well, enough of that! Here goes nothing...
Story Start-o! (Imagine Jasdero from D Gray Man saying this every time you read it. Trust me, its going to increase the fun multiplier by a LOT)
Alexander J Mercer was many things.
Inhuman Monster? Yes.
Beast of a thousand faces? Yes.
A scientist above all of his peers? Yes.
As you can see, Alex is many things and more. The aforementioned titles were merely that, titles, given to him by the human race. There are many hundreds more, given to him out of fear, hate and even jealousy. But, our Alex could not be bothered to remember them all, even if he did remember them in reality, because of his great power.
But with great power comes great responsibility, as a wise old man once said. To Alex, that responsibility was based upon a decision. A decision weather to exterminate humanity, or team up with Pariah and evolve them into something so much more.
At first, he tried the second choice.
He gave a good part of his power to one James Heller. But ,things tend not to go his way ,as usual. Heller had outgrown him in power and Killed him... or so he thought.
But one can not kill a god.
Heller's one mistake was the fact he consumed Alex. It was painfully easy for Alex to carve his way out of the many souls Heller had devoured and killed on his path to kill Alex. Once he was on the top, he simply had to take over.
He had learned from pariah, that, no matter how powerful his children became, if they were foolish enough to consume him, he can simply kill them from the inside. This was one of the benefits of fully merging with BlackLight. Of becoming one with the virus.
Heller screamed and resisted but to no avail. His powers did not grant him the ability to resist mind break. In mere moments after hugging his daughter, Heller's body began to squirm with tendrils, reforming and changing him as Dana and Amaya watched in horror.
Soon, from the mass of swirling tendrils, Alex rose. This time, he felt no need to change humanity. This time, he no longer felt the need to let them live. This time... He felt only...hunger.
In a display of speed unlike anything he had done before, Alex transformed his right hand into a blade and cleaved both Dana and little Amaya in one fell swoop. He did not even bother to consume them.
He looked away, to his right side and saw the red zone. Soon, his monsters would overwhelm Gentek and Blackwatch. But... it would not be soon enough. He then ran into the heart of the red zone. There, on top of the very building where Heller had "killed" him, Alex unleashed a devastating viral bomb. Ever since he had recovered from the nuke, Alex had been capable of unleashing a minor nuke of his own which would grow from the energy of every being unfortunate enough to be caught in its blast radius.
He did not use it before because then he still had.. feelings.
The nuke grew and grew with each life it had consumed. Within hours it covered half the world.
By the next day... Earth's total population of life. Had been reduced to zero. Not even cockroaches survived. Seas became white. Oceans drowned in blood. Mountains bleak and broken.
Where there were once vales of flowers and beauty. There was now desolate- desecrated ground.
Where once was life. Now... was nothingness. Not even Death survived.
Alex had consumed every single thing upon earth that held anything biological within it. Even Pariah.
Because of this, he had become a being free from flesh. He was now a being of pure viral energy.
No longer a corporeal, three dimensional being, Alex felt and realized truths that he would have otherwise been blind to. There were so many worlds out there. So many possibilities. So many things he did not yet know. But he had no way to reach out to those worlds... not yet.
He also felt... tired. He also felt complete. Like his life's purpose had been fulfilled. Was this what mother earth wanted him to do? To exterminate humanity and let earth recreate life anew... Hopefully this time not resulting in a race akin to humans.
He created a chair, a throne of solitude here, in the now desolate world where once was life.
As he sat down, he cycled throughout the many memories of the people and animals he had consumed. He found so many astounding discoveries he could hardly keep track of them all.
But the most impossible thing he had seen in his memories was... Magic. It existed. All of the scientist inside of his mind screamed at this, laughing at Alex while at it. But, they could see now. Many people in this world, the magicians, had been in hiding, plotting to overtake the world when they mastered both science and technology to an agreeable level.
Some of them even considered inviting HIM to their organization...The Illuminati sure were an interesting bunch.
Armed now with the memories and powers of a thousand wizards, he reached out to the universe, extending a hand made out of solely thought and desire.
Don't mind me guys and girls! I'm just a line break...
Halkeginia – Tristain – Academy of Magic – Day of the Springtime Summoning Ritual
Luise de la Valliere was a noble. Not just any noble, she was a daughter of Duchess Karin de la Valliere, or more commonly known as Karin, The Heavy Wind.
She was also a failure.
No matter how much she tried, no matter how hard she studied, no matter even if her theory was far beyond the capabilities of her classmates.. She was incapable of using magic. She did not know why.
In the end, her class and the rest of the school was right, she was, in fact, a zero.
Today, she hoped, that would change. Because, today was the springtime familiar summoning ritual. Not to mention her only hope of not being thrown out from her school like some dropout commoner.
Louise spent most of the early hours in the morning rereading, relearning and preparing herself for this one moment in the not too far future which would decide her fate.
She was absolutely sure that it would all work out fine. It had to!... or else.
Don't mind me guys and girls! I'm just a line break...
Seconds felt like days, hours felt like weeks... but eventually, the hour of fate had come.
Louse opened the door to her room and, much to her dismay, there was someone waiting for her.
This girl, Kirche Augusta Frederica von Anhalt Zerbrst, or just Baka-Kirche, is a triangle fire mage and Louise's classmate, Kirche is from a military family in Germania. She attends the Academy rather than a local school because she developed a bad reputation for misbehaving. She has dark skin, red hair, and a large bust, and loves to use her looks to her advantage, fully aware of the effect she has on men. Fire magic is her specialty, drawn from her passionate nature. She enjoys making fun of Louise as her family and the De La Vallières are rivals. She is flirtatious and has dated many of the Academy boys. Her name ironically means 'Church' in Germanian.
Kirche adopted a rather creepy looking smirk upon her tanned face the second she saw Louise come out of the door.
"Hey there, Miss Zero! Ready for a new day of your supreme failures?"
Louise scoffed and hmphed." Shut it, Zerbrst. I'm not in the mood for your jokes right now."
Kirche laughed. "That's the point!"
"Whatever.. Don't you have classes to attent?"
Another smirk. " I could ask you the same, Louise."
To this, Louise cocked a curious eyebrow. " What do you mean?"
"Oh nothing much... just the fact we only have... around 5 more minutes to get to class in time."
Louise was startled, Kirche had no reason to lie, which means shes gonna be late... but wait ... Why did Kirche come to see her, especially since she's going to be late herself... Surely, it isn't just to do the daily routine of being an annoyance?
They both started walking towards the classroom which was on the other side of the Academy. I mean, if they're already gonna be late, why should they tire themselves by running over there?
"Wait a minute, that means that both of us are gonna be late. Soooo, why the hell did you come here?"
"That should be simple, I came here to wake you up?"
Louise smiled." Oh my, so you do care!"
Kirche sent her a glare."Of course I do, you're one of the few actual friends I have in this place."
"So you think of a person whom you annoy the hell out of every single day a friend?"
"Yes? So what?"
Louise gave her a blank look. "By the Founder. You're a bad person."
"If I wasn't, I wouldn't be me!" She shouted out with a big shit-eating grin on her face.
"True that."
The rest of their walk was spent in silence.
Don't mind me guys and girls! I'm just a line break...
Tristain's Academy - Louise's Point of View
"Now that we are all here, the class can finally begin." Said their teacher. Unlike most of the other students, who didn't care or were too lazy to remember, Louise knew all of her teachers by the heart.
This was Miss Chevreuse. Chevreuse is a new professor at the Tristain Academy of Magic. Nicknamed The Red Earth Chevreuse, she specializes in earth type magic.
"First, I would like to congratulate you all on making it to your second year! I am Miss. Chevereuse and I am pleased to be teaching at Saint Horstine(? I have no idea, but I thinks that's how you type it? If not then please tell me in the reviews!) Academy. My element is earth and my codename is The Red Earth. For the next two terms, I will be teaching you all about earth based magic."
Louise stopped listening for a second and looked around the class. Kirche was already flirting with all the boys around her, eliciting some rather hateful and jealous looks from the girls around her. Especially when a gray haired boy told her she was cute.
"Now, what are the four elements of Magic?" Asked Miss. Chevereuse.
"Oh!" Here came a sound Louise was all to familiar with. Guiches voice. One that told her of the oncoming onslaught of what Guiche thought was an elegant and epic introduction.
Guiche is one of Louise's classmates who, despite being in love with Montmorency,the girl who is sitting next to him, is a vain playboy who flirts with women. He comes from a noble family with a deep military history; his father is a general. His wand is in the form of a long stemmed rose, and he specializes in Earth magic (He can make Valkyries to do battle).
"The elements of magic are Earth,Fire,Water and Air! And just by coincidence, My element just happens to be earth as well! Guiche de Gramont at your service, madam, my codename is Brass. A pleasure to meet you."
"Nice to meet you, Gramont. Earth magic is directly involved with the vitalization of all things. To better understand this, you will all memorize a spell of basic alchemy."
Miss Chevereuse pulled a wand and some small stones out of her cape. "Ren,In,Yan." She chanted.
And the stones turned to something shiny, a bit too shiny to be gold.. But Kirche does not know what, now does she?
As if on cue, Kirche stood up."Oh wow! Did you turn those into gold?!"
The Teacher giggled a bit."No dear, brass."
Kirche looked disappointed as she sat down."Oh.. right."
"Now, let's see if one of you can cast the spell." She started looking around. My heart froze when her eyes landed upon me.
"You, over there, the one taking notes." Ugh, why me.
"Me?" I asked with a shaky voice.
"Yes, you, what is your name."
"Louise, ma'am. I am Louise Françoise Le Blanc de La Vallière."
"Alright Louise, could you try to cast the spell."
The whole class shivered in fear, they did not want to deal with this on their first day of the second year.. Louise sighed.
"Sorry, Ma'am, but you should try asking someone else. My magic usually results in an explosion."
This shocked the class to the core. They were all looking at her now. She sat back into her seat and buried her face into the book she had brought beforehand.
"Well.. this makes me feel like a piece of shit." Was the thought that had infected the classroom at that very moment.
To make matters worse Louise had started to quietly cry. Miss Cheverouse stood there, silent from shock.
After what seemed like an hour while in reality was just a few minutes, Louise couldn't take the stares anymore and excused herself out of the classroom.
More minutes of silence pass and Cheverouse cant take it anymore. "Could anyone explain it to me... why did she say her magic just results in explosions?"
Kirche stood up. " Its exactly as it sounds, miss... Louise is a genius when it comes to theory but actual spell casting always end up in explosions and disaster... but she hasn't ever done that before.."
"Done what?"
"Break." Kirche said simply...
"I didn't think that could even happen..." Said a chubby, blonde boy.
"Kirche, you know her best, maybe you should go find Louise and make sure she does not do anything stupid." Said Motmorency with some sadness in her voice.
While she didn't ever bully Louise like the most of the class did, she didn't exactly try to help her either.
"So, even Louise's rule of steel has its limits... I guess we did go a bit too far but, I didn't expect that to happen... ever." Guiche threw in his ecu.
Kirche left the classroom, not even bothering to ask for permission.
"W-w-well.. I guess we should c-c-continue the class... I will have to ask the Headmaster about this incident later. Now then, who wants to try to cast the spell?"
Out of thirty students, only 4 raised their hands.
Don't mind me guys and girls! I'm just a line break...
