Well, I have a fic called El mago de la Zero which I'm translating into English. Today I didn't have much to do so I decided to do the same with this crossover I'm writing. I'm planning to translate the four chapters I have written and then update it together with the Spanish version. Or at least that's what I'm going to do if this is well received and if my English is tolerable to read (I don't want to hurt eyes). Yeah, English isn't my mother language, and I'm translating my main fic just to polish it.

I thought in translating the first two chapters since they could be merged into a single one but I took more time than I thought to translate this one. Anyway, hope you like it.

Both the characters and the concepts of Zero no Tsukaima and Xiaolin Showdown aren't my property.


"Finally, my time has arrived"

It has been a few years since the self-proclaimed evil young genius, Jack Spicer began his attempts for the world domination. It had been years of effort, years of clashes and years of failures. However, after so many defeats, he had finally had a great opportunity that he didn't want to be wasted. Less than an hour ago he, along with some other villains, had attacked the temple. An attack that, to the monks' surprise, hadn't been more than a feint. Taking advantage of the distraction, some Jack-Bots stole all the Shen Gong Wus and took them to Jack's lair.

That was the first step of his plan and although he hadn't thought about what he would do in the third step yet, he was seconds away from executing the second. All he had to do was wait a bit to press the button which was in front of him.

"And there's nobody who can stop...!"

Suddenly, an alarm interrupted his evil monologue, an alarm that alerted him about the intruders who were approaching to his lab, which was nothing more than the basement of his parents' house. Even if he was clumsy, Jack knew very well who those intruders were. However, even with that knowledge, he didn't care about the issue.

"Whatever, it's not like they can get there in time. Now, what was I...?"

Once again, Jack was interrupted. One of the walls was partially destroyed to open a hole. The intruders whom he met a long time ago had arrived.

"Jack Spicer! Return the Shen Gong Wus!" Yelled Omi.

"Jack-Bots!"

After Jack's shout, Dozens of robots went to face the warriors. However, as was already the custom, Omi, Raimundo, Kimiko, and Clay hadn't any problem destroying them. The only thing that Jack had achieved was winning less than a minute and that wasn't enough time.

The monks started walking towards Jack. Without their robots, they didn't think of him as a threat. Jack, realizing he was cornered, panicked just like so many times in the past.

What's the worst that could happen? Thought Jack, naively.

At the next second, the young redhead pressed the red button. Then, a huge machine that was in the center of the basement activated. This evidently alerted the four monks who had arrived. Jack took advantage of that brief distraction to run next to his machine.

"It's too late!"

"Jack Spicer! What is your plan this time?! And where are our Shen Gong Wus?!"

"Your Shen Gong Wus?! I think you mean my Shen Gong Wu!"

The monks didn't know it but in the machine that Jack had turned on were all the Shen Gong Wus. The machine's function was simple, it was programmed to merge all the magical artifacts into a single one. After that, Jack was planning to use that single Shen Gong Wu for world domination.

Unfortunately, there were a couple of problems with that plan. The first problem was the quick arrival of his enemies. With them there, he had to be as fast as possible to grab the supreme Shen Gong Wu before them. The other problem, which was the most important, was the hasty action he was forced to do, press the button.

Just finished his invention, Jack called the other villains to start the attack on the temple. Also, he connected his machine to begin to accumulate energy. The problem with that decision was that the device was going to take a considerable time to stabilize all that energy and even though Jack knew it, he figured there would be time more than enough for it. Obviously, that didn't end up being the case. If it only needed a few more minutes or a few seconds, he didn't know, but he had turned on the machine before the stabilization ended. Consequently, just a few seconds after his invention was turned on, the machine began to overheat and generate noises that shouldn't be made.

"That shouldn't happen." Jack said to himself.

As soon as he finished saying those words, the machine exploded. Jack was immediately hit by the explosion since he was right next to his device and ended unconscious at the next second. In a normal case, even for the parameters of what Jack considered normal, that would have been all. After the explosion, several pieces of metal should be on the floor and the Shen Gong Wus scattered throughout the basement. That indeed happened but there was more to come.

Literally out of nowhere, a portal appeared in the same place where the machine exploded and at the next moment, a powerful force began to attract everything that was around. The destroyed Jack-Bots, the remains of the machine, debris, various devices of Jack's lab and even the Shen Gong Wus. The monks, seeing the danger of the situation, retreated a few meters to cover themselves temporarily. Usually, Jack would have done the same but since he was unconscious, his body didn't offer any resistance to the force that attracted him into the portal.

The last thing the monks were able to see was the self-proclaimed evil young genius being sucked into the portal. As soon as this happened, the portal disappeared, just like a considerable part of the basement and the Shen Gong Wus.

This has to be a joke. Louise thought.

The day had arrived, the day in which Louise finally hoped to prove that she wasn't a failure. She was hoping to summon a familiar incredible enough to surprise all those who once made fun of her. It would be a lie if Louise said that she didn't succeed, but it wasn't in the way she expected.

A human. Louise didn't summon a dragon or a griffon, but a human. That certainly surprised the other students, but not in Louise's favor. The students, who had already summoned their own relatives, found incredibly funny that the one they called the Zero obtained nothing more and nothing less than a commoner as a familiar.

Almost every single one of students erupted in laughter.

It was because of all the fuss and the fact that Louise summoned a commoner that nobody paid attention to everything that was scattered on the floor. The vast majority would qualify those things as scrap and in a certain way, they wouldn't be far from reality, because on the grass were all the remains of the machine that had exploded in Jack Spicer's lair. The same Jack Spicer that at that moment was unconscious on the ground. However, there was someone who couldn't avoid looking with some interest at the remains of the machine.

Some students stopped their laughing, but only with the intention to say something to Louise. However, something prevented them from doing it. Just as nobody paid attention to what was left of Jack's machine, nobody gave importance to the strange objects that were also on the ground. Objects that, from one moment to another, began to shine brightly and then rise several meters in the air. Seconds later, the Shen Gong Wus flew away in different directions.

Without exception, everyone was silent. The strange event left them quite intrigued, at least enough to forget the jokes they were about to make. It took a few seconds for someone to break the silence.

"M-Miss Valliere, please finish with the ceremony."

"Huh?"

For a brief moment, Louise had forgotten that she had invoked a commoner as a familiar and, in fact, she was grateful to that strange occurrence which temporarily took her away worries which she hoped were nothing more than a bad dream.

"B-but he's a commoner. I never heard..."

"It's a tradition, Miss Valliere, so if you're so kind to continue."

Louise gave a very long sigh of resignation. After doing that, she started walking towards the young redhead. She didn't bother to talk to him since she noticed that he was passed out. Finally, she bent down and placed her wand on Jack's forehead.

"My name is Louise Françoise Le Blanc de La Valliere. Pentagon of the Five Elemental Powers; bless this humble being and make him my familiar. "

That said, Louise put her face close to Jack's and kissed him. He didn't know it, but in a certain way, it was a fortune that he was unconscious because shortly after that kiss some runes were engraved on the back of his left hand. Being unconscious prevented the evil young genius from feeling great pain in that place.

Colbert, who had come a little closer, inspected Jack's runes while muttering something to himself.

"They're pretty unusual runes."

Then, the professor turned around and took a couple of steps towards the main building of the academy.

"Well, it's time to go back to school." Colbert declared.

After a movement of his wand, the teacher rose into the air. The students didn't take long to imitate him. Some of them, clearly, took their time to mock Louise once more. After a minute, she was left completely alone with her unconscious familiar.

Once again, Louise lowered her head, closed her eyes and sighed in resignation. She had already accepted that what happened wasn't a nightmare and that she had actually summoned a commoner. It was when she opened her eyes that she noticed something strange. Underneath some of the scrap that was scattered in the garden there, was an object that not only was shining brightly but also was moving slightly.

Could that be...?

Louise immediately deduced that the object she was looking was related to the strange event that occurred only a minute ago. Apparently, the strange object also was trying to rise to the sky but the heavy scrap above it didn't let it move. With great curiosity, she approached and grabbed what resembled a coin. After Louise touched the Shen Gong Wu, the shine stopped and the artifact ceased his movement.

Strange. She thought.

Even though that had caught her attention, Louise decided to forget about it for the time being. After all, she had an unconscious familiar with her that she had to take care of.

Where the hell am I?

Once Jack woke up, he looked around. At first, he thought that he would see his lab destroyed, so he couldn't help but be surprised when he realized that he was in a totally unknown place. It was night and he couldn't see properly, but the light coming through the window helped him to know that he was in a bedroom. After shaking his head, the self-proclaimed evil young genius stood up to inspect the room a bit more.

And how did I ended...?

Jack's thoughts were interrupted when the door to the room was opened. He instinctively turned his head and what he saw was a girl with a pink hair who entered the room.

"Oh, and woke up." Louise said, disinterested.

"Who are you?" Jack asked instantly.

The lack of respect that Jack denoted in his voice made Louise slightly annoyed.

"First of all, that isn't the way a familiar should address his master. And secondly, if someone should give his name first, it's you."

Obviously, Louise's attitude immediately collided against Jack's ego. The young genius felt insulted by the way she had spoken to him.

"Listen, midget, I don't know who are you but... "

"Midget?"

Louise's anger became completely evident. In response, Jack took a step back. Certainly, both had a personality that would lead to an eventual fight between the two, but unlike Louise, Jack wasn't someone who had the courage to take things too far.

"Who are you calling midget?! How dare a commoner to talk to a noble like that?!"

Jack moved backward a little more. Louise's behavior reminded him of certain people he knew. However, despite scarcely exchanging a few words, he bet that Louise's temper was worse than any he had ever known.

"W-well, I planned to introduce myself anyway." Jack said.

His intention was obvious, avoid a discussion that he thought he was going to lose. In addition to that, by the way he said the previous words, he tried to pretend that he would give his name by his own decision and not because Louise had asked for it.

"You have the honor to be in the presence of the great and magnificent, Jack Spicer, evil young genius and future ruler of the world.

Just as he finished his presentation, Jack raised his arms with his palms open in an attempt to make an incredible pose. Louise, however, wasn't impressed in the least. In fact, she didn't care about anything Jack said, except for his name.

"Now that I've introduced myself, will you tell me who you are and where the hell am I?"

Again that lack of respect... Louise thought, irritated.

"My name is Louise de la Valliere. As for the second question, you're in Tristain, more specifically in the Tristain Academy of Magic."

Magic?

The magic wasn't totally unusual for Jack. After all, for several years he interacted with things quite outside normal. However, the fact that there was an academy that taught magic still seemed curious to him. In addition to that, he didn't recognize the name of Tristain. Although, in the end, he didn't give much importance to that.

"Well, now explain to me how did I get here."

The only thing Jack was achieving was irritating Louise more and more. However, to his good fortune, she had a rather long day, so all she wanted at that moment was go to sleep.

"I summoned you."

"And why did you wanted to bring me here?"

"I didn't want to specifically summon you. I just had very bad luck and ended up with you as my familiar."

"Familiar?"

"Yes, you're my familiar and I am your new master."

For a few seconds, the young genius looked at Louise in complete silence. After that, he began to laugh loudly. That, evidently, only made Louise even angrier. Certainly, she was tired but that didn't prevent her from approaching her limit.

"Jack Spicer, the future owner of the world, a servant? Don't make me laugh."

In a normal situation that comment would have caused Louise to explode in fury. However, something in those words prevented that from happening.

"You? The future owner of the world?" Louise asked as an evident mockery.

"Correct."

It was Louise's turn to laugh. It wasn't for less because she considered totally ridiculous that a commoner could aspire to have a title like that. In addition, it was also Jack's turn to get in a bad mood. One of the things he hated most was not being taken seriously. After all, that was something that happened very often.

"Laugh now if you want but when I have everyone in their knees It will be my turn to laugh. The only thing I need is..."

At that moment, Jack remembered something very important.

"Where are my Shen Gong Wus?!"

"Your what?"

"My Shen Gong Wus. Don't tell me those stupid monks took them away. Damn, it cost me a lot to get them."

"What are those Shen Gong Wu you're talking about?" Louise asked.

"Magical artifacts."

"Why a commoner would want something he can't use?"

"Who do you call commoner? Jack Spicer is not a commoner."

Louise's wasn't able to hide her surprise. It wasn't for less because since the beginning she assumed that the familiar whom she had summoned was a simple commoner. However, because of what he said, she began to think that maybe she had made a mistake. Louise was about to ask Jack if he was a noble but before she could do so, a certain idea formed in her mind.

"And how those Shen Gong Wus looks like?"

"Every single one of them is different. A cane, a tunic, a pair of chopsticks and even a coin."

Upon hearing that last word, Louise took her hand to her pocket to take something out and show it to Jack.

"Are you talking about this?"

After he saw the Mantis Flip Coin, Jack tried to grab it, but Louise reacted in time to put Shen Gong Wu away from his range.

"I summoned you together with a lot of junk, this was under some of it."

"And there weren't more?"

"There were several strange objects scattered around you but all of them began to shine and then raised to the sky. They flew in different directions afterward.

"What?!"

"As I said, this coin was under something. When I held it, it stopped shining."

Jack thought about the situation just for a brief moment.

"Give me the coin."

"Why should I accept orders from my familiar?"

The young redhead didn't want to waste any more time arguing. At first, he believed that the monks had recovered all the Shen Gong Wus he had stolen. However, from what he had heard, that hadn't been the case. If the magic items were scattered, that meant he could still get some of them.

"You're lucky I don't have my Jack-Bots with me."

Without wasting more time. Jack turned around to the window's direction to immediately start walking towards it. He planned to send some Jack-Bots to retrieve the Wu after repairing some of them. He thought about doing it himself, but for some reason, he felt that would be a very bad idea.

"This conversation isn't over." Louise said.

"Oh, yes it is."

Jack opened the window to then activate his Heli-bot. However, he didn't leave the room because before he could do it, something called his attention completely.

"Since when are there two moons?"

Despite having asked that question for himself, that didn't stop Louise from answering it.

"What are you talking about? There have always been two moons."

Jack could be incredibly clumsy and clueless, but even he could tell when something was incredibly wrong. And those two moons in the sky were something that fit into that condition.

"Where did you tell me we were?"

"Tristain."

"And that remains in ...?"

Louise gave a sigh of annoyance, as she considered Jack's question something so basic that even a small child could answer it.

"In Halkeginia."

"I never heard of that country."

"Halkeginia isn't a country, is a continent. Did you live your whole life under a rock?"

While his mind tried to assimilate what he had heard, Jack remained completely silent.


1. It's not decided yet if I'll base this on the novel or the anime. I think I have one more chapter to make a decision. The anime is not that long, so it's not a bad idea. Although I haven't seen it yet. On the other hand, I have read the novel until the volume sixteen but it would take more time to cover it.

2. I'm hoping to make this crossover something light in comparison to my main fic, so it won't have some many words per chapters, although that also means more frequent updates (hopefully).

3. Since it's the first chapter I don't have much to say in these final notes, so I'll leave it here.

Thanks for reading.
