(This story is dead)
Louise was nervous. Scratch that. She was downright terrified. Today was the day of Summoning Ritual, the day that would either prove herself to her peers or prove that she truly was a failure. A Zero. Brimir, she hated that word. To be called something of no value, undermining her very existence, she hated it. And she knew just how she could stop it. By summoning a beautiful, grandiose, and powerful familiar she could prove that she was something and finally get rid of that dreaded title of Zero. Of course, this all depended on whether or not she successfully performed the spell, which brought her right back to being nervous. Which is why when Professor Colbert asked if anyone else needed to perform the ritual, she held her tongue. This strategy was quickly ruined, however, when a familiar voice rose above the silence,
"Louise needs to go sir," shouted Zerbst. A spike of hatred overcame Louise's terror momentarily as she heard her nemesis' voice.
"Ah, Miss Vallière," said Colbert, "If you would," He indicated for her to step forward.
With as much confidence as she could muster she moved out of the crowd of students and towards the professor. Colbert nodded reassuringly at her and motioned for her to begin. She took a deep breath and began. "I, Louise Françoise Le Blanc de La Vallière, in the name of the great Five Pentagon Powers, following my fate, summon a familiar."
The wind blew across the field, birds chirped, a butterfly flew past and… nothing happened. No spell, no glow, not even an explosion. Louise was utterly dejected. Snickers could be heard from the crowd. Louise turned and started slowly walk with her head down in shame. She approached the crowd readying herself for the onslaught of insults and…. Wait, why was she face first in dirt? And why were her ears ringing? And why was there smoke? Dazed, she slowly picked herself off the ground and turned around in a mixture of shock, elation, and dread. Her spell had actually done something, albeit that something was an explosion, the results of which she dreaded, but it was something. Most of the students were knocked off there feet and coughing, which gave Louise a small measure of satisfaction. She focused back on the cloud of smoke in a mix of anticipation and unease, what had she summoned? Was it something powerful and majestic like a dragon? Or was it useless creature like a frog? Professor Colbert picked himself up and cast a wind spell to clear the smoke. Louise was shaking; it was a… man? A man just lay there in the center of the freshly made crater with an odd metal box next to him. Upon seeing him, Professor Colbert ran to him with surprising spryness for his age and checked for breathing.
"Quick, someone get the medical personnel!" He shouted
The students scrambled towards the school and Louise rushed to the man's side. She didn't know what she'd do if someone's blood were on her hands.
"Is he…?"
"He's breathing," Colbert replied quickly.
"Louise, I need you to complete the contract."
"Huh, why? He's injured, he needs medical attention, not-"
"Louise! The contract compels him to serve you. If you seal the contract, his brain is less likely to shut down! You completing the contract could be the barrier between life and death for this man!"
Louise squeaked at the unusual ferocity in his voice and quickly complied, bending down and pecking the man on the lips. The contract sigil could be seen forming on his left hand even through the red gloves he was wearing. The glow died down and the man's breathing seemed to have become heavier.
Two eyes flicked open.
In the space of a second the man assessed the situation grabbed his odd metal box and hopped away quickly, surprising both Louise and the professor who had both thought him too injured to get up, let alone jump away. The man pulled out an odd sword from the box and got into a defensive stance. Louise, in her panic, hadn't noticed how intimidating he looked in his long black overcoat that matched his black hair.
"Where am I?" The man spoke in cold, harsh tones, snapping Louise out of her stupor.
"You're in the Tristain Academy of Magic," Colbert replied in a soothing tone of voice. The man's steely gray eyes latched on to him.
"Academy of Magic…" The man murmured. "How did I get here?"
"It seems young Miss Vallière summoned you here as her familiar."
"Familiar… Academy of magic…" The man's eyes widened as something seemed to click in his head.
"Send me back," the man said suddenly, eyes shifting to Louise
"What?" She replied.
"Send me back. However, you brought me here you must be able to send me back, so do it," he shot back coldly
"I can't."
"What?"
"I said I can't!" Louise replied harshly, getting frustrated with her new familiar.
"Why not?" He snarled
"Because the ritual doesn't work that way!" She screamed
The man looked to Colbert. "I'm afraid she's right. Once you're summoned, there is no way to send you back. You're stuck as Miss Vallière's familiar."
A look of intense rage crossed the man's face before quickly switching to a cold mask, so fast that Louise thought she might've imagined it.
"So be it," the man said coolly, "what does being her familiar entail?"
"You will have to do her bidding and protect her at all costs, even that of your life," Colbert replied.
"I see," the man said simply.
Louise took advantage of the subsequent silence. "Now then, I can't always call you Familiar, so tell me what I shall call you!"
The man considered for a moment.
"Haise Sasaki."
There was a sudden clamor as a group of nurses and students came running into the field.
Colbert addressed Haise,"It seems emergency medical treatment was unnecessary, however, I still believe that getting a medical check-up would do you no harm."
Haise seemed reluctant, but agreed to it.
Colbert smiled, "Well, this has certainly been an interesting day."
Yo, long author's note but I gotta lot to talk about in regards to the story. First, in regards to the story, in this Haise will have Yukimura 1/3, even though he's not seen using in his Black Reaper phase in the manga. Second, if you couldn't tell already, some events will deviant from canon and I'll explain why in a sec. Three, sorry for any OOCness, it's difficult to capture a character perfectly. Third, I didn't plan this out at all, so this can go anywhere.
Alright, on to other stuff. I may diverge from canon for two reasons, one I think its better for FanFiction to actual be more original than just a replica of the canon. Two, which is the larger reason, I have never actually read/watched Familiar of Zero. So I really don't know the plot that well. And you may be asking "why would you do a fanfic on a story you don't know?" well, that's because the concept of Familiar of Zero is perfect for fanfic, the whole summoning from another world is a really fun concept to mess around with in your head. And finally, my apologies for grammar, spelling, OOCness, or just general crappy writing. I am lacking in ability and experience and time, so chapters will be pretty short. I want to maintain roughly 1000 words per chapter. Though, in hindsight it doesn't really matter because no one is gonna read this. Oh well. And if you have read it, thanks a whole lot. Please, constructive criticism and ideas are always welcome.
