And here is another new story from me :D
So first: this is a Crossover between Psyren and Familiar of Zero and to everyone who doesn't know Psyren YOU NEED TO READ IT! It is a finished manga with a good story and nice ending and definitely is worth your time! And I am an absolute fan of it ;D (Now who would have guessed that xD)
This is not the classic Louise summons FanFic but instead a Fic were somebody else summons him in a way that has only been done once before (but even that one is different) and the most obvious differences are going to be explained in this chapter.
And as I said before: If you don't know Psyren give that manga a go, I am going to try to explain the MCs powers as good as I can, but it's probably easier to understand if you read the manga and as I said it's definitely worth it :D (fanboy mode 120% xD)
Oh yeah, the idea for this story was floating around my head for some time and now I am finally going to try my hand on this \{*.*}/

„Huh, what am I doing in a place like this?" Ageha wondered while finally awaking from his slumber. He was lying in an old bed, which stood on one of the only solid places in wherever he was. When he sat up and took a look around he noticed that wherever he was, was neither his present nor the future to which No. 7 sent him to uncover the secrets of the future.
The sky was as black as the night and beside the platform that housed him and his bed, a platform with a lantern and well recognised old and tattered red payphone and three smaller platforms that connected the two bigger ones everything else was whirling around like a rough sea, but the entire area was eerie quiet and that was when it finally came back to Ageha.
"Ahhhh. That's right … I overused my power … and died … who would have thought that the afterlife would look like this … the sky black as the night … the ground a whirling pool of psyonic energy … and the starting and ending point of every one of our journeys … "
Ageha was brought out of his observations by the ringing of the payphone. With a feeling of nostalgia he walked over to it and to his immense surprise he recognised the voice that spoke to him.
"Finally …! You finally answered the call, Yoshina Ageha …"
"…! That voice ….! Is that you No. 7 …!?"
"I have been waiting for an opportunity to talk to you again for quite some time … Currently… You and I are connected across the world ascending time and dimensions …"
Ageha was almost crying with happiness by hearing her voice. "You lived … Is everyone all right?! And what about Ouroboros!?"
"Ouroboros has been turned into debris and disappeared into space once more. In exchange for my brother's and Grana's lives Ouroboros was destroyed and the debris left was pushed back into the abyss of space and thanks to their sacrifice we were able to win and the sun shines once more upon our world."
"W.I.S.E. and all those monsters disappeared too, we've started a new life on the surface. This world will continue on its way from here on onwards … Ageha!"
"KYLE!"
"Everyone's safe … so it's all okay, we're all doing fine."
"That's good to hear …!"
"…! What's this?! Something is interfering with my connection to him!" "What do you mean 7?!" "Something is trying to sever my connection and pull Ageha with it!" "Maybe it's the you from the present?" "No I shouldn't have that much power in that timeline and the psyonic signature is completely different from me!"
"Guys whatever you're discussion is definitely not putting me at ease!"
"I'm sorry Ageha but whatever this is it's pulling you with it."
That was the last thing he heard before a green portal opened beneath his feet and with a yelp Ageha was swallowed by whatever it was that had run through the layers of time and dimensions.
-_-_-(Tristain Magic Academy)-_-_-
Today was very important for the students of the renown Magic Academy located in the small country Tristain. It was the day of the springtime familiar summoning ritual and the students were wildly chatting around, about which familiar was the strongest, what they would get, some even made bets on what they would summon and the overall atmosphere was happy and excited.
But like always there were exceptions. In this particular case there were two. A pink haired girl fidgeting around, looking nervous and if you stood close to her you would hear her repeating the chant for the ritual. She was nervous because every magic she tried exploded to some degree, which was also the reason why she was dubbed Zero, naming the number of spells she had successfully pulled off. The other exception was a petite sky-blue haired girl, who looked like calmness incarnation and was silently reading a book.
The summoning was done in an alphabetical order and most of the familiars summoned were pretty ordinary. Some small pets like cats, dogs, frogs and a bug bear. Kirche, a red haired Germanian student summoned a flame salamander, which she decided to name flame (oh the creativity) and that was the, up to now, top familiar going by the rankings of animals. That was until Louise summoned her familiar. As it was to be expected once she finished the incarnation the entire class was blinded by an explosion and the first snickers about another failure could be heard from the other students, the teacher was just happy that they were outside, when the smoke lifted and in contrast to the expectation the summoning place was not destroyed, probably because it was constructed in a way to handle high magical output not that any student knew that, and standing on the now blackened circle stood a young boy.
"The Zero did it again!" "Summoning a commoner, not bad Zero!" that and a lot more could be heard and Louise was already by the teacher asking him if she could try to summon a familiar again, but to her great dismay professor Colbert said no and she had to get through with the summoning. Once she completed the ritual and the runes were forming the boy screamed out in pain, but to the boys relief it only lasted for a few seconds and after he said something again, nobody was able to understand his language; Louise tried to hit him with a silence spell. She hit all right, it just didn't have the aspired effect. The spell exploded in the boy's face and instead of shutting him up he was now able to understand and speak our language.
It turned out that his name was Hiraga Saito, but before the other students could learn more about the summoned commoner Louise stormed off to her room.
It took Colbert more than ten minutes to calm down the other students after that event and to continue the ritual.
It took some time, but after a summoned mole, another frog and some other rather small animals it was finally time for the other exception to start her chant and summon her familiar. The blue haired girl stood in front of the magic circle and wondered for a short moment what it would be that she summoned. Going by her abilities it would probably as impressive as the familiar her best friend Kirche had summoned.
"If you would please start the ritual Miss Tabitha."
" …Yes Professor." The petite girl answered, but before she started her summoning she decided to change something. She had prepared an adequate spell and definitely had enough willpower but something in her told her to change it. And if Tabitha knew one thing than it was to listen to her instincts, they had saved her often during her missions for Gallia and beside what could go wrong? If she summoned nothing, she would just try again with the chant she had prepared beforehand. So she started:
"Pentagon of the five elemental power, bring forth...my familiar." "and someone who can protect me, who would be my friend." The last part was more mumbled then said and if the blue haired girl had looked at her professor she would have seen his disapproving look, because he couldn't understand the last part and since he didn't know what she said he couldn't predict if the ritual would be successful or not.
After she finished the spell nothing happened. Normally the instant someone finished his chant a familiar would appear, but after thirty seconds and nothing happening the first murmurs could be heard and Professor Colbert already wanted to tell her to try again when the air above the summoning circle distorted.
Unbeknownst to the students, the Professor and the caster herself the summoning spell had used the residual energy that was left behind from the summoning of the void familiar and the vast powerful magic from the caster to do exactly as the girl had told it too. The familiar was soon found. A jump through time and it found exactly what it needed; a rhyme dragon, an already extinct, but powerful dragon that could turn itself into a human if it wanted too.
But even though the spell had found a matching familiar it had so much energy left. The spell itself may have only a rudimentary intelligence but it would do what the caster wanted and when the spell crossed the borders of time it had noticed something. Now after finding the dragon it searched for it again, it was a small disturbance and if the spell wasn't enhanced with the power of the void summoning, the caster willpower and the casters blood, which was, even though watered down related to Brimir himself and mixed with a miniscule amount of elven blood it would have never noticed it, but with those enhancements it not only noticed it but could find it.
And after twenty seconds the spell found it. A separate pocket dimension outside of the normal time flow and in it a presence that would be perfect. A caring, strong presence which could without a doubt accomplish its role as protector and friend, it was missing a body and the spell was considering returning with just the dragon, the presence was perfect, but without a body useless and even though empowered the spell could not produce a body out of thin air, when it noticed it. There was a connection between this pocket to another world. After searching for another ten seconds it found it; in another timeline from the timeline connected to the presence the body of the presence was. Now the rest was easy. It pulled the body and the presence together and returned to the caster. It had taken the spell much longer than normal to do its job, but it was happy with itself, as far as that was possible for a spell. It had fulfilled the task it was given by one of the descendant who had created it and could now return.
The distortion in front of the girl grew and after another second it vanished. In its place now stood a mighty dragon and to the surprise of many another commoner.
"This is very interesting. At first a human gets summoned and now a dragon with a human. The human alone is strange, but to summon two familiars is something completely new." Colbert had a thoughtful look on his face, but Tabitha ignored him and walked over to her two familiars.
"Pentagon of the Five Elemental Powers, grant your blessings upon this creature and bind it as my familiar." As soon as she had said that she gave the dragon a short kiss on the head the dragon had thankfully lowered for her to reach and as soon as she did it runes began forming on its body, identifying her as her familiar and if the texts were to be believed guaranteeing her loyalty.
Next was the boy she had summoned. She personally didn't mind that she had summoned a commoner, now she had finally someone to talk to beside Kirche. She really liked Kirche, but there were things that she just couldn't discuss with the fiery redhead and since this boy would be her familiar she could talk about those things with him. The other students were still trying to decide how to react to the second summoned human. On one hand they had laughed at Louise for it, but the girl in front of them was in the top of their class and had not only summoned a commoner but a mighty blue wind-dragon too.
The boy himself was still trying to comprehend what had happened. He was talking to No. 7 when he was suddenly launched into a dark space, just to re-emerge in front of some kids with wands, capes and animals and one adult who too had a wand. And going by what he had heard through the conversation on the phone he was pretty sure that this was not the doing of No.7.
His musings and wondering was interrupted by two hands which were reaching for his face. He now finally noticed the petite girl in front of him. He wasn't sure what she wanted but complied too her and bent down. One can imagine his shock when the girl kissed him as soon as she could reach him.
It was a short kiss and lasted a fraction of a second, but still, he loved Sakurako and he definitely could not/would not betray her! He was already preparing a speech to tell the girl he was not interested, yeah he was definitely doing that to not her feelings and was not a stuttering mess, no he wasn't, when he felt warmth coming from his right hand. At first he barely noticed it but after a second was already so hot that he had to use Rise to strengthen his body to not start screaming in pain. But as soon as the pain came it vanished and when he looked at his hand he noticed a symbol that wasn't there before. It looked like a P that was mirrored to itself vertically and instead of the normal round part of the P it was angled and if he remembered right it was some kind of rune, but he wasn't too sure, he had looked it up once because of a book he read, but that was some time ago so he had no idea what it meant.
"Come …" the blue haired girl said to him and in that moment he was more than glad that he understood her. He didn't know the language she was speaking in, but doe to whatever reason he could understand her, 'maybe that's the effect of the rune?' It had to have some use, why else would it have burned itself into his hand?
And since he had no idea where he was and what had happened he was about to do what everyone else would do. Ask about the who, why, where and since he knew it could happen when, or at least he wanted to before the girl interrupted him, "I will explain everything later, come with me …" He looked at her for a second and contemplated on what he should do, but in the end he just shrugged his shoulders and went with her. It didn't really matter if he got the explanation now or in a few minutes and since it was probably her that got him out of wherever he had been he at least owed her a favour.
"Fine, lead the way." And that was the other thing that irked her about the girl. She was too emotionless. For a girl her age she had shown way too few emotions since he landed here, all the other students and the teacher were going through many different emotions, showing to varying degrees, but still showing. The girl he was now following showed him an emotionless masked that reminded him way to much of Sakuraku before he had been to Psyren and had learned about drifters and that he was in the future. The girl must have been to something similar traumatising, the way she held herself, showed no emotion and the few words she spoke were way too similar too his girlfriend that it would not be the case.
But he also knew that he couldn't just ask her what's wrong, that would be the wrong approach to such a problem. He was no expert on this; but that much even he knew and if he wanted to help her he first needed to be her friend and maybe he could help her over time. Because whatever the problem was, to cause her to be like this it had to be something big.
So he simply followed her to her room, to get an explanation and to maybe start helping her with whatever problem she had. He wouldn't normally intrude on someone's business, but there was no way he would not help someone that looked as bad as his girlfriend had been before he knew about Psyren. Aaaaand he may have wanted to know about the dragon, but that was only a small part of it.
AN:
So this is the prologue of the story. I will continue this, but it's not my main priority, I mainly wrote it because I really wanted to write something about PSYREN and this was whirling around my brain since around a year in one form or another, so the next update will probably take some time, as I am going to concentrate more on my The Black Snowstorm Fic (But chapter 2 could be out in a few days depending on my mood, just the chapters after that will probably take longer)
AND AGAIN, IF YOU HAVEN'T YET, READ PSYREN (I think you may notice I'm quite a fan xD)
And as always: Favourite, Follow and most importantly review! ;-)
Disclaimer: I own nothing, if I did there would already be a Psyren anime
