The Shining Beacon of 00 –

Summary- What if Nagisa had grown up a bit more secluded than normal? What if, despite making friends with Yuka, Orine and Chieri, after the concert on Lancastar, she doesn't see any of them until the auditions for the 77th Generation rolled around? What if Nagisa had taken their promise to join more seriously and had gone out of her way to prepare herself for it in advance? And... What if Nagisa was actually adopted and didn't remember anything before the age of 8? By joining 00... could her previously forgotten past come to light or will it forever remain in the darkness?

Nagisa – Heyo! This is me back from when I originally posted this story... I think it was two years ago now XD Oh dear... Sorry

I've recently been helping someone with their own AKB0048 fanfiction and it sorta inspired me to try and write this story again... So we'll see how it goes I guess.

Disclaimer - Nagisa Maeda doesn't own AKB0048 its characters, music etc... She does not own Vocaloid either.

Chapter 1 – Towards the Dream -

Darkness.

That was all that surrounded the area as far as the eye could see.

Pure darkness.

A soft giggle echoed through the large area of nothingness, it's origin was a small teen girl with long, light blue hair that fell to her knees who was simply standing in the darkness. Her eyes were shadowed by her bangs as she smiled.

"...Finally, it will begin..."

In a fairly spacious room we could find a pink haired teen with matching eyes laying on a large bed. It was early morning at the time and all the girl could do was stare at the ceiling as if she was waiting for something to happen

After another five minutes of nothing happening, the pink haired girl finally got out of bed, trudging toward the bathroom attached to her room. Pulling her hair out of it's ponytail, her pink locks fell to her lower back as she began to brush through it gently with her fingers before quickly sorting out her things and having a shower. After getting out she wrapped herself in a fluffy white towel before drying her hair and brushing it, pinning up a small part in a side ponytail.

Any thoughts she had were cut off when the beep of her phone sounded in her ears. She hummed quietly, the tune following unidentifiable even to her. The bright screen of her phone shined bright, contrasting the darkness of the room. A small grin formed on the girl's face as she took in the display on the screen.

"...Finally" she muttered, unknowingly somewhat mimicking someone as she moved to get ready.

Normal P.O.V. - Motomiya Residence -

"Nagisa?" Mrs Motomiya called from the kitchen. Said girl cursed under breath as she reached the front door before turning to her mother with a blank face, showing no emotions.

"What is it, mother?" she said in a monotone while giving said woman a blank stare while waiting for a reply.

Her mother just smiled before stretching her arm towards Nagisa. "I saw you looking at your posters again. I made you a ribbon like in your posters." She said in a happy voice.

Slowly taking the ribbon she inspected it while holding it with great care.

The ribbon was made out of a dark red silk that had a black trim around the edges. It also had small diamonds sewn into the material going all along the trim.

In the centre of the bow where it was tied there was a rose made out of ruby and there was an a stem for the rose that would, when put on, twist around her side ponytail made out of emerald.

Nagisa gasped and snapped her head up to meet her mothers gaze as tears weld up in her eyes.

"Mama… its beautiful! Thank you so much!" her mother just smiled as she took the ribbon and put it in Nagisa's hair using it as a hair tie for her ponytail.

Giving her daughter a quick hug she then released her as she ushered her out the front door.

"Good luck my darling. I hope you achieve your dream and become a wonderful successor. Goodbye my daughter." Nagisa turned to her mother, giving her one final hug before she turned and ran.

She didn't need to worry about her things as she had sent them ahead of time so that she wouldn't panic.

-At the Space Port-

Nagisa had just walked into the space port where she would have to get on a ship to take her to Akibastar. Darting her eyes left and right she gently patted the two black mics under her skirt.

Unfortunately for her since she had not been paying attention she bashed right into someone.

Nagisa managed to brace herself in time but the other person wasn't so lucky. They fell right on their butt as she let out a small gasp on impact with the floor.

Quickly coming to her senses Nagisa rushed over to the fallen person and offered a hand to them.

"I am so sorry please forgive me I was not paying attention to my surroundings and I guess I accidentally bumped into you." Nagisa said with an apologetic smile.

The girl on the floor took the offered hand and pulled herself up, dusted herself off and introduced herself. " No harm done! My name is Yuka and this is Orine." The newly dubbed Yuka said as she pointed to the pinkette behind her who sported a kind smile.

"It's a pleasure to meet you both. My name is Nagisa Motomiya." She said in a polite but somewhat carefree tone.

Orine, who was previously looking at Nagisa, suddenly spoke. "You know... you are very beautiful, and I love your outfit. It suits you!" she said honestly which made Nagisa blush a little.

Today Nagisa was just wearing something normal in her opinion. She wore a dark red layered skirt that went to mid thigh.

Her top was off the shoulder and was white and stopped just past her elbows. She also wore thigh high white socks that stopped a few inches below the skirt.

On her waist she had two black belts crossed over each other like an 'x'. On her feet were simple red ballet flats. Her hair was straight and fell to her lower back and she had her ribbon in her hair holding her ponytail up.

In her ears were a simple pair of diamond studs with a necklace in the shape of treble clef that was also made out of 'diamond' held by a beautiful silver chain.

Nagisa looked herself over worriedly before she turned back to them. "Is it to flashy?" she got a shake of heads in return which in turn made her let out a sigh of relief.

Looking down at her watch, Nagisa's eyes widened before she looked up at them. "I must apologize for cutting this conversation short but I really must be going." That was all the warning they got before she ran past them and into the crowd.

Yuka and Orine looked in the direction the girl just took off in before following shortly after as they also had to be somewhere.

-With Nagisa-

After she ran off from the two girls Nagisa soon found her way to the ship she was supposed to go on. Soon after boarding she found the lounge/cafeteria area and sat at an empty table. Well it seemed to be empty until she felt movement under the table.

Without even looking she reached a hand under the table and flicked the intruder in the nose. A squeak was her reply.

Not even ten seconds later a girl with long blond hair and yellow golden eyes came out from under the table holding her nose, which was now red, while trying her best to glare at the girl across from her.

Of course, having been on the receiving end of her fathers glares all the time, Nagisa was not affected by this and just rolled her eyes. "It's nice to meet you Sonota, Suzuko, Makoto." Nagisa greeted politely not even saying how she already knew their names. She wasn't even looking in their direction so how did she know they were there in the first place?

Seeing their questionable stares she sighed before replying. "I have my ways and guess what?... You will never find out what they are." She stated bluntly getting blank and disappointed looks from the girls around her.

Sonata was about to say something before a male voice suddenly bellowed out. "Everyone against the wall! Show us your ID! We are looking for this years 00 candidates. Outside informants state they are acting as store aways." Nagisa's head whipped around as she saw a man in a suit of armour like things.

Before he turned Nagisa pushed everyone's heads down behind the sofa so they were not seen by the passing soldier.

"We need to get out of here now! Follow me quietly." Nagisa whispered as she crouched low and ran across the room behind the sofas so they were covered.

Surprisingly they managed to get away with it as well! Suddenly they heard a blast of…Music? A look of recognition crossed Nagisa's face as the pieces clicked together in her mind.

So that was DES… and now 00 are here to collect the candidates… well better hop to it then.

Gesturing with her hand she beckoned the others to follow her and they swiftly made their way through the ship while looking for the air shuttle.

When they were about to turn a corner Nagisa suddenly stepped back and pressed her back to the wall followed quickly by the other three.

Turning to them with a serious face Nagisa told them to keep a lid on it and stay still.

Reaching down her hand made contact with the familiar cold metal of her blades. Quickly pulling them both out she activated them and watched as her company stood with gaping mouths.

Her blades had a black handle with a diamond mic. When activated the blade is made up of a blood red energy and hers look more like a mix between a katana and a nodachi than the standard ones that look like small greatswords.

'Ahh, the benefits of being born with money...' Nagisa couldn't help but wonder what it would have been like had she been born into a family that wasn't as well off as her own. She quickly shrugged it off though.

With out warning she suddenly ran round the corner but even though she was running her shoes weren't making a single noise!

They watched in fascination as she, a 13 year old girl, disarmed and disabled the seven DES soldiers that were around the corner… that they didn't even notice.

All of a sudden a member of 00 suddenly ran around the other corner at the end of the hall and up to them. Nagisa immediately identified her as Yuko Oshima the 9th.

Looking at the damage she whistled lowly.

Seeing Nagisa who was clipping her blades back to their belts on her legs, she walked over slowly, seeming somewhat suspicious.

"Are you lot alright?" The successor questioned cautiously.

The small group all nodded, quickly explaining their intentions for wandering around.

Soon after that little cirfuffle Yuko led them to the air shuttle with little to no difficulty. As soon as they arrived Nagisa noticed a few other girls.

The two from earlier; Yuka and Orine and then there was the bluenette.

She stopped short when the girl turned to face the new arrivals and the pair's eyes widened comically.

"Nagisa/Chieri?! Is that really you?!" The pair exclaimed together in shock while Yuka and Orine gaped at the newly identified Chieri.
