I have to admit, this isn't much of a rewrite as it is now, but some of the issues that I wanted fixed have been touched on, and it becomes more obvious as the chapters go.
This story is OC centric, and the Naruto elements won't come through right from the beginning but will be showcased. The story will start of following the original story line a bit so that you readers can get used to my character, but afterwards it will become vastly different from canon due to the vastly different familiar.
All I ask is that you as a reader have faith enough to join me along the ride. Hope you enjoy
Sometimes the best tales in history start with famous last words or a phrase that's so damning that something big must come from it. The story of Louise Françoise Le Blanc de La Vallière, or Louise de La Vallière for short, and her ascension from mage who has never cast a spell to legend started with one such phrase. She would eventually become an essential part of her country's forces and even gain the favor of the Queen herself. Her rise was all but completely triggered by one sentence, and the help of a rather "odd" familiar.
"Just you wait! I'll conjure up a familiar so divine, beautiful, and powerful that it will be better than ANYTHING you'll be able to cook up!" Louise taunted before storming down the stairs of the Headmaster's tower.
Momentarily stunned, the two young women who were teasing Louise stopped to ask their quiet friend if the young girl could be telling the truth. The petite bluenette replied as simple, "I don't know and went back to her reading." The truth of the matter though, was that Louise could not be more uncertain about how well her familiar summoning spell would go. She mulled over it as she pulled a nightgown over her head that matched the vibrant pink color of her hair. The last thought that entered her mind before she rested for the night was, "I wish I hadn't said that."
A World Away, Army Base
A young man hid away in the shadows of the hallway, knowing that he wasn't allowed in the area of the base where he was currently standing. Something was fishy to him, why would everyone he had to teach and the commander of the base have to have a meeting without him at 3 am? He focused his senses in order to hear the conversation.
"It's about time we end this little game of ours. Those little tricks of his seemed like the real deal and look at us now, because of my gamble we have more than a few soldiers learned enough in his style to eliminate the loose ends and take this program start to the top! Who woulda thought that the future of super soldier research would have came from simple trash off the streets?" The commander openly praised himself for further screwing a man's life up. It was sickening.
"But sir, isn't this he the same man who supposedly killed the managers at his old job without leaving ANY evidence? How exactly did the police get him?" A soldier spoke up shakily.
"That's easy to answer," a female voice spoke up. "He went back to the hospital he put his friend in to 'finish the job.' The wily bastard nearly pulled it off by flooding the hospital's power supply with energy
"Only thing left it so take care of his family and his 'friend' so that no one can trace the skills he taught back to him… or what's left of him. At 0800 hours you nine are to find Rashaad Warrent and make sure he's no longer breathing by sundown." The commander lectured as the Rashaad's former students gave an obviously distraught cry of "Sir, yes sir!"
Rashaad knew better than to stay any longer than he needed, but he also was aware that his family would probably be killed if he disappeared. Plus there was nothing one man could do against an army, especially without a plan so he returned to his room and feigned sleep so that he would have plenty of time to plot up a way to say his family at least.
Back on Halkeginia
The next day was time to show and prove and Louise knew it. If the summon failed like every other spell or the familiar was less than amazing, her classmates would never let her live it down. Especially after she bragged about how spectacular her familiar would be, Kirshe and Montmorency would never let up. While a world away, someone important who she had never met yet worried about the lives of his family she focused on her esteem. But enough of that at the moment.
Louise sat back and watched as all of her classmates summoned their familiars one by one. The creatures ranged from common birds and felines, to one of her classmates' mole and her antagonizer Kirshe's salamander.
The teacher known as Mister Colbert spoke up, "Now, was that everyone?"
Kirshe made it her job to inform otherwise. "Miss Vallière hasn't went yet."
Shakily, Louise stood in the middle of the field and kept her calm façade though she was sweating bullets. Ignoring all of the whispers and joke at her expense she started her chant. "My servant, that exists somewhere in this universe! My divine, beautiful, and powerful familiar! I wish and assert from the bottom of my heart… Answer my guidance!" She waved her wand in a circle above her head then point before….
A World Away, Wooded Area Behind Base
Rashaad was discovered easily seeing as though he had no time to disable any electronics and the base was continuously monitored. Even though the betrayers didn't know he had found out their plans while he was there, the commander was given a call not long after to inform him of the eavesdropper. They arrogantly waited to see what his plan was to escape, and that would eventually prove costly as Rashaad killed plenty of soldiers on his way out in order to prevent anyone from shooting him in the back.
But now he ran in the woods. This area gave a bit of protection against being fired on but did absolutely nothing for him finding his way toward his family. The commander was quite aware of this and had already ordered none of the soldiers who were trained in Rashaad's "Overmind" skills to shoot. He was to be taken out by the skills he helped the others manifest.
Seeing his officers corner the young man he said, "Well isn't this fitting? The students must kill and surpass the master in order to further themselves."
Some of the soldier could hide their feelings, but the others were completely saddened. Rashaad was a nice guy if not a bit shattered…
"Sorry brotha, but you know how I am about orders." A man with slumped shoulders offered.
Feeling defeated, Rashaad said. "It's fine sir. Just please don't bring my family into this, they don't know a thing about what I taught ya'll. And PROMISE to make the entire world know the name PsychoRapter!"
The one nicknamed PsychoRapter gave him a pointed look, stating that he couldn't promise anything and that's when everything snapped. Rashaad Warrent was certain that he was not only going to die here, but that his family was going to suffer all because of his obsessive curiosity about learning to manipulate energy. He started to laugh maniacally into the sky with tears streaming down as the last of his sanity cracked. He was too far gone to notice the runes underneath his feet glowing.
Back on Halkeginia
As she extended her wand in front of her, an explosion triggered and knocked everyone back. Unlike a different universe though, the smoke didn't even have to clear before the students found themselves stunned. The only sound that they seemed to hear was the haunting sound of a man driven mad. The laugh began to warp into a sound that seemed impossible for a human to make. As the smoke cleared, a single scream was heard and a certain blonde haired girl fainted.
When the dust settled the entire courtyard let their eyes take in the presence of the summon. It was a man standing six feet tall with dark brown skin that matched his even darker hair. His eyes however were the most terrifying, as it seemed that all of the life had been drained from them. His unruly hair only served to make him look more inhuman than he already seemed. Everyone was far too busy shitting themselves to notice the twin streams of tears that showed his despair.
After noticing that he had not been attacked yet, Rashaad opened his eyes to see a vastly different scene than he expected. The soldiers surrounding him were replaced with young people with uniforms that suggested some type of school dress code. The thicket of trees was replaced with manicured grass surrounded by architecture that he never expected to see people use again. He knew he wasn't anywhere NEAR home.
"Even if I survived, I know my family's fucked now if I don't get back immediately…" Rashaad thought aloud, hoping that he could figure out some way to fix things.
No one could understand what he said though, as they looked onward towards him apprehensively. The man was obviously insane, but the laugh and his appearance made them all wary as to what he could be capable of.
"Louise, finish the ritual." Mr. Colbert said in a professional tone of voice no one recognized.
"But summoning a plebeian… I messed up! Can I have another try?"
"I'm sorry, but traditions must be upheld. And it seems that your 'familiar' is a bit unruly without the runes so do make it quick…"
Rashaad noticed a rather short girl with pink hair approaching him cautiously. Normally he would be on edge, being whisked away into a new place after being attacked just seconds ago but something seemed to be preventing him from reacting. He wasn't prepared for what happened next, nor was he able to understand what she was trying to tell him.
"Be grateful, normally a commoner would never receive a privilege such as this!" Louise said in an attempt to look much less frightened than she was. "My name is Louise Françoise Le Blanc de La Vallière. Pentagon that rules the five powers, bless this individual and make him my familiar."
As she finished her chant Louise stood on the tips of her toes to bring her lips close enough for a kiss. Rashaad, for a short moment, lost control of his entire body as he was piloted downward to meet her kiss. Her eyes opened in shock due to his forwardness, and then she promptly fainted. Rashaad on the other hand was overcome with a searing heat on his right hand that overcame all of his senses except the one which deal with pain.
What he was unaware of was the reason the runes had hurt him so much. The runes which appear on a familiar act as a catalyst to not only bond the familiar to the master, but it also makes the familiar slightly more prone to obedience. The arcane magic had deemed that while the man worried about his family back home that he would have little desire to answer to anyone. Due to the rune's presence within him he lost his memories of his family completely, and his only tradeoff was an increase of energy. The dark skinned man was beckoned to follow as his unconscious 'master' was taken to her room.
Louise's Bedroom
After Louise woke up from her bold familiar's actions she found the culprit sleeping in the corner sitting up. Slightly creeped out by the action but not put off, she went out to gather a few items such as hay, another whip because she had the feeling her familiar would be trouble, and a few new uniforms since she made an explosion that singed her other one yesterday. Rashaad slept through the remainder of the day, mostly due to the adrenaline wearing off and the rune's added trouble. Once he awakened, he found himself in even more trouble.
"So you've finally woken up? I thought about it long enough to get an ulcer, but I've given up. I'm going to have you as my familiar. Be honored." Louise said as she started toward her dresser.
"Where the fuck am I?" Rashaad asked, still unaware of the language barrier. "If I don't get back home then…"
He stopped himself as he started trying to recall why he was so insistent on returning home other than obvious reasons. As he thought, his head started to hurt as if he took a hammering blow to the face and he hunched over in pain. Louise was completely unaware of his pain as she discarded her clothes and tossed them onto her new familiar.
"What in the FUCK?" Rashaad half roared as he felt the headache subside and the clothes land on his face.
"Wash them. Even if you can't understand the language, a familiar should be able to understand this much."
"The hell is goin on?!" He was quickly losing his patience, and she couldn't even tell.
"You can't even understand your master's orders? If that's that case then you're worse than a dog.."
"Alright FUCK this! Who are you, where am I, and why the FUCK are you strippin?" Rashaad barked.
"Oh, be QUIET! All you do is whine!" then she had an idea. "Silencing magic! I learned it last year!"
Rashaad struggled to shake the idea of slapping the girl and demanding answers as he heard something ominous.
"Ansur Ver Ang. Notice the tracks, and answer my requests!" Louise chanted as she pointed her wand, and created another explosion.
Surprised by the sudden force, Rashaad could only raise his hands up to block. The dust cleared to reveal a still blocking Rashaad with cinders of his shirt and her uniform gently floating toward the ground. "Damn this, I kept my cool because I needed answers but tell me why I shouldn't put the fear of god in you?"
Not focusing on the threat she replied, "I understand! I understood that!"
Pretty much fed up, "So you try to kill me and NOW you understand?"
"I didn't TRY to kill you, I tried to make you stop talking." She mumbled a bit to herself then said, "Another failure…"
"Bastard shot me with somethin to translate my language on accident… shit is gonna get messy…"
"What's your name?"
"Rashaad Warrent."
"Reshadwarent?"
"Now that you understand me, why I am I here?"
"Because I summoned you of course. As a familiar."
Tristain Academy of Magic Library
The teacher who watched over the summoning ritual just hours earlier was found searching within a mountain of books for information. The runes that appeared on the plebeian's arm were familiar, but one cannot make a strong basis off of a guess so he searched. A certain book told gave him info that would be quite important if what he saw was true.
Back in Louise's Bedroom
"So let me get this straight… I'm in the country I never heard of on a continent I've never heard of, and you as a mage summoned me here as your familiar?" Rashaad asked.
"I won't allow a familiar to call me 'you'. My name is Louise de la Vallière."
"Yeah, whatever. So I'm supposed to be some kinda sidekick to you know?"
Louise started to go off on a tangent complaining about how she wished that her familiar was something cool as Rashaad left the room in a hurry. The pink haired dumbass, as he considered her, was not going to be of any help so he hurriedly decided to gather information on his own. He was nearly down the stairs by the time she noticed he was gone.
Rashaad was about to bolt around the corner until he saw a blonde boy and a younger looking brunette girl in the hallway. He could tell that the boy, whoever he was, was talking out of his ass to impress the girl with the crush. Still, not being one to interrupt, he nearly snuck by before he heard himself being addressed.
"Isn't that the peasant that Louise summoned?" The blonde stated.
"A peasant huh? Comin from somebody lookin like Fabio with a 'Magic the Gathering' cape on? Fuck outta here…" Rashaad retorted.
"Ill-tempered AND unruly I see, you caused a great deal of trouble earlier. Are you TRYING to walk over the noble's kindness?"
"Are you TRYING to waste my time? Keep gettin in my way and I'll walk over you!" Rashaad said as he pushed the boy aside.
Trying to keep his cool, the boy named Guiche said, "A rather uncouth fellow, I'd rather not stoop to his level.."
Before he made it any further away, he could here rushed footsteps coming from the stairs. "Damnit…" he cursed aloud as he ran to the next bit of stairs. Louise not long after paused at the base of the steps and caught her breath.
'Louise, your familiar just passed by." Guiche stated nonchalantly.
"Catch him, he ran away."
"A familiar you formed a contract with? As expected of you Louise, common sense doesn't apply."
"Don't be impressed help me!" Louise said before bolting after him again.
Rashaad was hell bent on making sure his "master" didn't get in his way so he dashed on without noticing the dark skinned red head and her partner watching his escape. By the time he got outside his run was up, as he felt himself being lifted off of the ground. "What the he..hell is goin on!?" he cried out as he felt the control of his being taken from him.
"Sorry, Mister Uncivilized Peasant, but your master asked for my assistance. Do you make it you're job to cause trouble?"
Noticing that Guiche was the one waving a wand at the moment, he decided speaking negatively would not help. He stayed silent.
Everything started making sense when he opened his eyes since his body was pointed toward the sky. He couldn't help but notice the fact that there were two moons instead of one. "I'm not even on the same planet somehow…" Everyone who was laughing at Louise stopped as they noticed the familiar's body language had changed. He stopped fighting completely. "I'm really stuck here ain't I? Let me down, I won't run anymore."
