The Pink Devil of Zero

Prologue: The Summoning

LINK START!

Location: Gun Gale Online - Desert Ruins

With everything that had transpired in the 2nd Squad Jam, it was nice for Karen Kohiruimaki (LLENN in-game) to be able to enjoy GGO again. After that however, it'll be awhile before she'll feel more at ease around Pitohui, the girl across from her left shoulder.

"Come on LLENN, couldn't we meet up again IRL!" Pitohui exclaimed.

"No thanks," LLENN says bluntly. "Shouldn't you be preparing for your next concert? Goushi was mad you know."

Pitohui smirks. "Oh~, do the both of you message each other? I'll give him to you if you want~."

That statement only infuriated LLENN further. "I don't need him! Besides, you should be treating your partner better!" LLENN decided to cut it off there. "Okay, this conversion is finished."

"Darn." Pitohui pouts at that and puts her arms behind her head. "Whatever, even though I'm finally getting to play GGO with LLENN again ..." She looks of into the distance with a relaxed tone. "But this game's fun, ain't it?"

"You're right," LLENN says as she looks off to what Pitohui is staring at. They both see that a few players are shooting at a giant sand worm with laser rifles. "A game is a place where you can let loose and have fun. It isn't a place where you risk your life."

"Sorry about that! I'll never do that ever again. As long as I live, they'll be many different ways that I can enjoy myself."

Although LLENN is relived to hear that... "That's fine, but ... you're still merciless when you fight, Pito." Pitohui will still be Pitohui. "You still have that attitude of doing whatever it takes to win."

"What can I say? But I'd never anybody would outdo me in that regard."

"Hm, who would that be?"

The first thought that came to Pito's mind was a "certain sniper" which she quickly dismissed from her brain "Eh-!"

LLENN gets confused for a moment "Eh?"

"Listen you-"

*BOOM!

A loud explosion cuts off whatever Pitohui was going to say that startles them both. With that signal the both of them ready their weapons, and set out to take down their target.

They fell for it!

They fell for it!

Location: Halkeginia – Tristain

It was the day of the familiar summoning rituals at the Tristain Academy of Magic. Many of the students have summoned a wide variety of familiars, even with Guiche de Gramont having summoned a mole. As Guiche observed his own familiar he look over to what Kirche Augusta Frederica Von Anhalt Zerbst had summoned.

*BLEH~!

"A salamander ... Kirche summoned that?" Guiche says while other students exclaim their surprise as well.

"If you don't mind my saying, you've summoned quite the familiar there haven't you Miss Zerbst?" Professer Jean Colbert says as well.

Kirche looks up to the professer as she pets her newfound familiar. "Thanks Mr. Colbert. It fits my code-name perfectly: Kirche the Fever." Guiche ponders on that statement for a moment while focusing on his own familiar.

"Alright then, has everyone had their turn?" Colbert announces.

"No, not quite." Kirche says while looking over her shoulder towards a crowd of students. "Miss Vallière hasn't done it." The person to who'm she's referring to is Louise de la Vallière or as to what others call her as The Zero due to her minimal succession in magic. Louise gets startled for a moment only to frown in irritation at being called out on. Other students start talking amongst themselves, doubting that she'll summon anything at all, as Louise comes up towards the center of the field.

"With all your boasting you should be able to summon up something more amazing then this, right Louise?" Kirche also doubted Louise, but wanted make sure for herself.

"Of course!" Louise was confident that she could perform the summoning spell. At first she had doubts due to her "mishap" with the transfusion spell yesterday, but for reasons unknown, in the back of her mind right now, she had no doubts to speak of. It was now or ever, and she needed all the confidence she could muster. As Louise readies her wand she has but only one thought:

'I'll do it, … I'll prove them all wrong!'

Location: Gun Gale Online – Desert Outskirts

"Man, that was a tough one!" Pitohui exclaims. "Who knew that Giant Spiders could be such a hassle?" The foe that both LLENN and Pitohui fought appeared to be an event boss named [Zetsobou the Spider King]. It's had unique attacks like acid webs that could paralyze players, and spawn normal sand spiders. "But hey, that rare drop we got was well worth it, right LLENN?"

LLENN agreed on that notion. "Yeah, but are you sure you don't need it Pito? You did get in the last attack bonus." The rare drop LLENN is referring to is an item called [Scavenger Ring], that will replenish ammo over time.

"Nah, I'd rather not. Think of it as a late birthday present from me to you, ok LLENN~!"

'I don't know how I feel about that ...'. with Pitohui giving a suggestive wink, it's hard for LLENN to interpret what she meant by that. "Pito... I'm glad you remembered my birthday but-"

*RING!

"Hold that thought," Pitohui says while opening up her menu to view the message she just received.

"Ah man, I gotta log out for now~". Pitohui proceeds clasps her hands above her head. "Sorry that I couldn't stay in longer , but I'll make it up to you." She then proceeds to press the "log out" button. "I promise~!"

"Ah, Pito wait-!" before LLENN knew it, Pitohui disappeared into a red mist. "Darn." Now LLENN will have to wait before she can find out. "Oh well, I guess I'll see if Miyu wants to-"

My servant that exists somewhere in this vast universe!

"Huh?" Before LLENN could think about getting her friend to log on, she hears the distinct voice of a young girl. It startle her at first, but readies her weapon toward the direction it came from.

"Who's there?!" 'Is a player trying to get the jump on me? No that can't be it since what she just said doesn't sound like a threat.'

My divine, beautiful, wise, and powerful servant, heed my call!

This only causes even more confusion for LLENN. "Hey, are you there? Show yourself you coward!"

I wish from the bottom of my heart, answer my guidance and appear!

In turn causes LLENN to get furious. "Oh, that's it! Ready or not here I-"

*FWOOSH!

"AHH!" LLENN immediately proceeds to jump and duck her head under in fear that she was going to get shot. However, she felt nothing at all and slowly opens her eyes to see... "Eh?" A bright green shaped oval right in front of her. 'What the heck is this … ?' She honestly doesn't know what it is at all. With no icon of any sort, she could only guess what it could entail. 'What should I do? Ok, let's think … um~, maybe I have to shoot it?' LLENN readies Darling P. (Pink P90) and fires a single shot into it.

.

.

.

'Nothing, not even an immortal object?' Shooting at it didn't work, much to LLENNs dismay. 'Right, let me think. Hmmmmmmm … , ah! Maybe it's some kind of secret dungeon gateway. That has to be it!' "Alright, here goes nothing". She proceeds to slowly walk up and places a hand on the "gateway". 'Alright now wha-' In an instant, it consumes her hand. "EH~!" With utter disbelief the green oval is now trying to suck her in. "No, no, no, let go of me!" She proceeds try and run, but even with her AGI build it was difficult to break free from its grasp. "Why is this happening~!" In the next instance, LLENN was consumed, while holding onto Darling P. and immediately vanished from the world of Gun Gale Online.

Location: Halkeginia – Tristain

It all happened so fast that LLENN couldn't even think anymore, along with her eyes being clamp shut. 'Ow, ow, ow, … what just happened?' She takes a moment to reel in her own senses, while slowly opening up her eyes. 'I feel … grass? It smells … clean? I see-'

"Who are you, peasant?" Louise asks.

"BWAH!" LLENN shouts while quickly sitting up wide eyed. This startles the pink-haired girl, and the other people around her. LLENN soon realizes what just happened and apologizes. "Ah, sorry! Wait, green grass and clean air? And … Eh?" While looking around she spots teenagers with odd looking cloths that it almost seems like it belongs in a different game, and not GGO. If you were to add in the weird fantasty creatures she'd almost mistake this for Alfheim Online if it weren't for them all having normal ears. She takes a moment to make sure that she isn't that insanely tall avatar from when she first tried playing VR games. 'Oh thank goodness! I'm still tiny and cute!'

"Don't you understand our language? Where do you come from?"

LLENN turns back "Eh, umm … sorry could you speak to where I can't understand you?"

"Exactly what I'd expect from someone who boasted like you did!" LLENN looks other to so a tan red-headed woman, but to her the biggest factor was... 'Why are they so big …?' LLENN thought with an odd expression. "To think that you actually summoned a pea-"

"She's so tiny~!"

"So adorable~!"

"So cute~!"

Kirche was dumfounded as random students started praising the small munchkin.

Louise didn't bother to listen, however. "I just made a small mistake that's all."

"Louise the Zero always seems to live up to expectations!" a student named Malicorne states. That was what got everyone actually laughing.

LLENN was still confused, and decided to speak to the pink-haired girl again. "Excuse me-"

"SHUT UP!" Louise yells causing LLENN to cover her ears. "Mr. Colbert!"

"Yes Louise," Colbert answers back.

"Um … can I try that summoning spell again?"

"I can't allow that."

"What, why?!"

"The summoning ritual is sacred, and effects a mages entire life. Trying a second time would be a blasphemy to the ritual itself! Whether you like it or not, this girl has been chosen as your familiar and nothing can change that."

'These people are crazy... ' With all that she's seen, LLENN is more than confused at this point.

' Maybe I should leave...' LLENN tries to slowly crawl away but then Louise grabs her before she could get away.

"But Mr. Colbert, I've never heard of using a peasant girl as a familiar!" Louise exclaims but only brought about more laughter into the mix.

"Even if there are no records of it, there are no exceptions Miss Vallière. Now if you would please continue with the ritual."

Louise is baffled. "WHAT?!" Never in her life would she have ever thought she'd have to... "With this?!" She empathizes as she pokes LLENNs back with her magic wand.

"Ow, don't poke me!" LLENN tries to grab to want but falls face first as Louise raises it back up.

"Finish the ritual, or I'll be forced to summarily expel you from this institution."

Louise couldn't believe what she was hearing, but sighed in defeat. "I guess I have no choice."

LLENN looks around herself with a questioning look. "Can anyone please tell me what's going on?" As Louise walks up to her LLENNs instincts kick in as she slowly tries to scoot back away from her.

"You should be thankful for this. Normally someone of noble birth never does something like this for a peasant girl," Louise says while readying her wand.

"Eh?" LLENN could only watch on in confusion as Louise continues the ritual.

"My name is Louise de la Vallière." She points her wand at LLENNs forehead.

"What are you-" As LLENN tries to question her once more she notices that shes bending down for some reason.

"Pentagon that rules the five powers, bless this individual and make her my familiar" Louise recites as she proceeds to hold LLENNs right cheek.

'Wait, this is …!' A certain memory starts to resurface as she realizes what's about to happen.

Yup. Your cute in real life too.

I like you~.

"W-Wait a second!" LLENN exclaims while flailing her arms in front of the pink-haired girl.

"Come on, would you please still?" Louise says while moving LLENNs arms away.

"No, stop please! I-I do-don't w-want t-to k-k-k-ki~!" LLENNs face turns bright red. 'What should I do! What do I do, what do I do, what do I do! Plan, plan, plan, I don't have a plan for this! It's... over!

Don't give up!

'Darling P.?'

LLENN... I'll protect you!

As Louise tries to finish the summoning ritual she feels something odd on her lips like a metal pole. She slowly opens her eyes, to find out that she wasn't kissing her familiar, but an odd looking pink object. It looked similar to a weapon that the Royal Musketeers, but that was besides the point. As Louise slowly put it down she looked and realized one thing:

My familiar is gone!
