Hey guys, it's OathToOblivion, and after all these years, I'm back with inspiration! Sorry to say, but with the release of Pikmin 3, I don't think I'm going to be continuing Pikmin 1.5. Looking back on my old notes, the story was kind of going into cliché territory. Hopefully I avoid that here!

Disclaimer: I do not own Familiar of Zero or Kamen Rider Kiva. Said intellectual properties belong to their creators and I am not making money of this. I also do not own a laptop with a fingerprint-lock, although I wish I did. I DO on the other hand own the clothes that my character is dressed in at the start of the story, as well as the mentioned phone and books.

Now enjoy the show! Time to break the Chains of Destiny!

"...I'm not sure whether this is the best day ever, or the worst."

Familiar of Zero – Destiny's Play

Episode 01 – Me, The Familiar of Zero?

ATTACK RIDE: REKKA DAIZANTOU!

Yes! I finally managed to watch the Shinkenger/Decade crossover! For a given value of "watch", anyway. I kind of hate my crappy phone internet connection, but my laptop was being repaired right now at Staples.

...Wait, I forgot to introduce myself, didn't I? My name is Chronos Rivers, and yes, I am aware of the pun in my name. I stand at 5'9" with black hair in the same style as Nogami Ryotaro, Kamen Rider Den-O. My ethnicity is actual Asian Indian, despite my name, and my eye color is a brown dark enough that it could be mistaken for black. Currently I was wearing a pair of turquoise shorts with 3 white stripes down the sides of each leg while wearing a blue Super Mario™ shirt.

Now, I pride on myself on being a fan of Kamen Rider. Certainly not enough to labeled an otaku, but I do know a fair amount of stuff about it. However, I only really know a lot about a select few riders, namely the Neo-Heisei Riders, Den-O, Decade and Kiva. I also have a small amount of familiarity with Kuuga and Blade, but not a whole lot.

Anyway, I had just finished packing all of my merchandise relating to Kamen Rider that I had! Namely, almost everything related to Kamen Rider Kiva; Kivat, the Arms Monsters in their weapon forms, Tatsulot, the Zanvat Sword, the miniature of Machine Kivaa, the assorted Fuestles, and the miniatures of Castle Doran and Shoo Doran.

And yes, that IS all the merchandise I have. Despite having been a fan of Kamen Rider for a while now, I had only purchased the merchandise about a couple of months ago. I had spent those two months breaking them in and making sure the toys weren't defective.

Really, that's all I did; it's not like I played with them or anything...

"All right, in goes the Garuru Saber and...that should do it. Now all I need to do is..." I trailed off as I noticed a rather, dare-I-say-it, familiar looking green ovoid circle hovering in the doorway. While Kamen Rider may be one of the franchises I'm most interested in, I have taken interest in some anime, namely Bleach, Rosario + Vampire, Precure, and...

I reacted in shock, "You have GOT to be kidding me! Please tell me that's not the Familiar Summoning Portal from Familiar of Zero!" If it was, then I wasn't sure if this is a good day or not. And really, there were elements of both when it came to the fact that the Portal had come for me.

On the one hand, the universe was condemning me to be basically a slave to a strawberry-blond haired tsundere who habitually blows everything up with her magic. And until she mellows out, she'll immediately disregard everything I say and do. Not to mention the runes that would twist my mind so I wouldn't want to leave.

On the other hand, this was an opportunity of a lifetime; to explore a strange new world, to see new life and civilizations and to boldly go...wait, there are already people there, so it's not "where no one has gone before"...Dammit.

'...I can't just ignore this, no matter how much I want to,' I thought to myself. The fact of the matter is that if I don't go, I'll be condemning people to fates that they won't be able to face without the Gandalfr; without me.

Louise will probably be suckered by Reconquista, because familiar or no familiar, she is still a Void Mage, and those bastards will want her power on their side one way or another. Without someone to prop her up, she just might listen to their overly pretentious prattle.

Not to mention everyone else; Henrietta, Tabitha, Tiffiana, just to name a few. All of their lives will be for the worst if I don't answer the call, if they don't have someone to believe in. The only question is, what can I do that Hiraga Saito couldn't?

I suppose for starters that I'm not exactly any more perverted than any typical 18-year-old male out there. That and I actually know what it is I'm doing and what's going on. ...Wait a minute; it's genius time!

I have read plenty of fanfiction over the years; among them being Familiar of ZerOOO by Ten-Faced Paladin and Familiar of Zero – Eternal Hawk by Hawkeyeriku. In those stories, the main character goes through the Portal with Rider merchandise that ends up becoming the real thing.

Now, while Kivat and the Arms Monsters may not be as flexible as Core Medals and Gaia Memories, there is one specific difference between them and the Transformation Trinkets of OOO and Eternal; they are alive.

If they really do come to life then I'll have a good support team, especially if the Dorans come to life. Having dragons on your side is always a good thing, IMO.

If things go according to plan, then I may be able to reduce the pain and suffering! And if not, I can always sell the figurines to get some cash. On the other hand, this sounds like this has all the trappings of a self-insert fic, so they probably will become the real things. And of course, knowing myself, there's probably going to be Fangires everywhere.

Of course, there are so many things that could go wrong, chief and foremost being that it may not even BE Louise that is summoning me, but rather Tiffiana, or worse, Vittorio or Charles or someone from the far-flung past of Halkeginia, because surely they couldn't possibly be the ONLY Void Mages since their Founder. Then there was the Mental Pollution caused by the Familiar Runes that will attempt to cause me to forget everything about home and stay with Louise.

Nuts to that! While Louise has the potential to be a swell person, at the start of the story she is an insecure little girl who covers up for it with a haughty attitude. Part of this stems from her supposed failures at magic, while others were caused by her own mother! Karin of the Heavy Wind...that's someone who I'm going to have to watch out for sooner or later among others.

In addition, most of my effectiveness in battle, assuming the plan works, is based off my knowledge of home, so I need it if I'm going to get anywhere. Hopefully, I can find a way to break that part of the Runes...

Anyway, enough thinking; my mind is made up. I'm going to follow this path before me and not look back! 'Sides, the stupid thing would probably follow me anyway...

'However, before I go...' I turned to look at my stuff. Saito's claims of being from another world were all but ignored until the expedition for the Dragon's Raiment, aka the Zero Fighter Plane. Like he did, I plan on outright saying that I'm from another world, only I'm going to bring actual proof.

Namely, my Samsung Galaxy SII and a few books. Dark Mirror by Diane Duane and my Ace Attorney manga were a given, and after some thought, I also managed to stuff in Napoleon's Buttons into the bag as well along with a few changes of clothes.

'Well, that's everything I'm probably going to be able to bring without destroying the bag.' After changing my clothes to something a bit more suitable to going outdoors, and leaving a text to my friends and family explaining what was happening and that I was explicitly NOT making it up, I took a deep breath and walked up to the portal.

"Alright, there's no turning back now; it's make-or-break time. As The Doctor would say, 'Allons-y!'" With that said, I walked into the portal, and my entire world was rocked by an explosion. Seriously, Louise? I know you have problems, but blowing up a teleportation spell?

-Meanwhile, at the Tristain Academy of Magic-

Louise Françoise le Blanc de La Vallière was having a very bad day. Not that this was unusual given her propensity for failing practically every spell she ever cast.

BOOM!

...So one can't really blame her for dreading her turn in the Springtime Familiar Summoning Ritual that all Second Years went through. This was not helped by the fact that her longtime rival Kirche von Zerbst had summoned a salamander from the Fire Dragon Mountains and that Kirche's friend Tabitha had summoned a dragon. A. Freaking. Dragon.

Well, she'd show them all! She'd summon the greatest familiar ever seen, and then they'd all be bowing at her feet asking for her forgiveness!

"Who are you?"

...Woah, what a rush! That explosion pretty much blanked out all my senses. As such, the first thing I was able to hear was that question from Louise. Gradually, the rest of my senses started coming online and I was able to see said Vallière with my own eyes. Huh, I guess her hair really is pink...

"I asked you a question, Commoner; what are you doing here?"

Uh oh, she seems to be getting mad. I'd respond, but my voice isn't working right now. I'm just standing there in what I felt were my most formal clothes, but apparently they aren't formal enough for these people.

Then I saw the horrified look on her face. "No...don't tell me that you're...?" Then came the jeers from the crowd.

"As expected of Louise the Zero!"

"Ahahahahahahahaha, my sides!"

"A commoner! For Brimir's sake, she summoned a commoner!"

...Oh boy. Come on, body, work...there we go; stand up straight, cross arms...

"…Well this is certainly interesting. Never in my wildest dreams did I think this would happen. Are you the one who called me, Young Lady?"

This shocked the entire crowd into silence, including said Young Lady, who was busy arguing with Professor Colbert to let her try the Summoning again. I don't honestly know why, maybe it was my word choice? Then, she proceeded to get a rather haughty look on her face.

"...Y-Yes. I am the one who summoned you commoner! You should be grateful. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity for someone such as you!"

...Oh boy, it begins. I suppose I don't really look very impressive, unlike someone dressed up as Iskander of Fate/Zero. Oh please let the plan have worked.

It was then that Colbert spoke up. "Very well. Ms. Vallière, please continue the ceremony."

Louise then raised her wand and said the words that would change everything. "I am Louise Françoise le Blanc de La Vallière. Pentagon of the Five Elemental Powers, bless this humble being and make him my Familiar."

And here's the awkward part...Yikes! I can't believe she actually kissed me on the lips!

The she glared at me. "I can't believe I wasted my first kiss on you!"

Okay, really? "I understand if this was not what you had in mind, but that's no reason to be rude," I chided.

Okay, that shut her up, but now she's glaring at me. I sighed. This really wasn't getting off to a good start. Hopefully, I'd be able to get through to her once we're alone.

Then the pain started. Actually, I didn't feel much pain, in direct contradiction to everything I'd heard about the Runes. It was only when I noticed everyone's shocked looks that I actually looked at myself.

While the Runes were forming on my left hand and were indeed the Gandalfr Runes, I noticed something else. My skin was starting to look like stained glass, the key distinctive characteristic of a Fangire!

Thankfully, it seems that everyone had simply dismissed it, except for Colbert. He was definitely a shrewd one; then again, one doesn't get the nickname of "The Fire Snake" out of nowhere. I'd probably have to come clean with him later.

Anyway, the glow stopped and the usual lines started coming forth from everyone; the jeers that Louise should just walk back preceded by Colbert's interest in the Runes and praising Louise for not messing this particular spell up.

Afterwards, Louise didn't even say anything, she just motioned me to follow. I inwardly sighed yet again; this was going to be a long day.

Episode 01 – Fin

Well how's that for an interesting start? As always for a prospective writer, please tell me what you think I should improve on, as well as tell me how you feel the story should go. I'm…not the best when it comes to a plot, as evidenced by the fact that it took me a month to write this. Next time on Familiar of Zero – Destiny's Play, one of the main staples of any FoZ fic, the Duel with Guiche! Thank you, and good night!
