Zero meets Zer0
This is an idea I had while high on soda and halloween candy in the middle of the night. I do not own Familiar of Zero or Borderlands 1 & 2, now with that being said, on with the show.
It was the annual spring familiar summoning, where all the second year students summoned their life time magic partners. Louise de la Valliere trembled, as fear radiated off of her in waves. She looked tired, as she had been studying the ritual all night. You see, Louise was the zero. She had yet to cast a single spell, with explosions of every shape and size as marks of her failure. Really, one could assume, and they'd be right, that Louise had no magical talent at all.
And that was what irked her. She was ridiculed by her peers, because in Tristain, magic was nobility, and Louise, a daughter of the duke and duchess was a disappointment. This was her last chance. To show she was not trash playing at nobility.
"Louise, its your turn to do the summoning." Professor Colbert, their supervising instructor told he. Louise sighed, she had always liked Colbert, he never shot her any glares or sarcastic remarks. She stepped forward, gaining a sudden burst of confidence. She'd studied for days, learning the theory, getting a good sleep occasionally, she even got a good breakfast in to boot.
Louise carved the runes into the worn dirt that made up the summoning circle. The students that gathered in the field all took a step back. As Louise raised her wand and recited the magical chant. "My servant that existed somewhere in this vast universe, my divine, beautiful, wise, powerful servant, heed my call, I wish from the very bottom of my heart and add to my guidance and appear!" Suddenly a huge explosion greeted her, forcing Louise to dig her heels into the ground to avoid flying back, only to go off balance and flail her arms comically before falling on her butt. Before her peers could jeer at her failure, a red glow greeted them from the smoke.
A red glow that took the shape of a zero.
So, feedback? Should I weed out this newborn idea to die or should I let it grow and prosper?
