Chapter 1
Dislaimer:I do not own MAR (seriously, its impossible) nor any of its characters, ARMs, plots etc, all I own here is Pen-And-SktechBook (Creativis) and of course, Artia
"YES! Another victory for us today!!!" Ginta shouted happily, while Baboo hopped around next to him. Nanashi was grinning ear to ear and Jack was boasting to anyone who was willing to listen. Belle was hugging Alviss and showering him with compliments and both Snow and Dorothy were smiling happily at Ginta. Edward's tears were spilling with relief while Gaira were marveling at how well the team is progressing. All around Team MAR the crowd is cheering their loudest.
"Er, excuse me?" A voice interrupted the celebration. The crowd turned to look at the speaker. It was a 12 year old girl with black shoulder length hair and big dark brown eyes. She wore a white cloak and also a white pointed sorceress' hat and she was holding tightly in her arms, a pen and a sketch book.
"Huh? A soceroress? Must be from Kaldea then, didn't know that you have such a kawaii younger sister, Dorothy!" said Nanashi as he scanned the girl from head to toe. "I don't have a younger sister, idiot,"said Dorothy, "having one elder sister is enough trouble already," she thought silently. "But, why is she wearing white instead of black like all other sorceress?" Ginta asked. "That is because I am not just a socerress," the girl answered, "I am an ARM maker." Alviss looked surprised. An ARM maker? That young?? "No sorceress will come out of Kaldea for no reason, state your purpose, sorceress," Alviss said, focusing his blue eyes on the girl. " My purpose is simple, I, Artia the maker of unknown ARMs, wish to join your team in the game, it that acceptable?"
Silence. Then someone in the crowd laughed. "You are too young for the war game," said Jack. " Yeah, you are just a child even though you are a sorceress," said Snow as she looked at Artia gently, "Ginta will not approve of that, will you? Ginta?" Ginta felt all of stares from his team mates focused on him. He hate that pressure, then again what can a captain do? "I agree that Ginta should make the final decision, but wouldn't it be better if everyone of us give our opinion?" said Alviss while he too, glanced in Ginta's direction. Ginta nodded. "So, since Snow and Dorothy have their say already… Nanashi? Alviss? Dorothy?"
"Too cute," Nanashi added
Dorothy shrugged, "It's not easy to stop what a soceroress wants to do, you know..."
Alviss looked at Ginta seriously. Ginta gulped while the boy's bright blue eyes seem to pierce into his mind. "Ginta, everyone who loves MAR heaven and wishes to protect it should be given a chance." Ginta nodded to signal that he got the hint.
"Do you love MAR heaven? Artia?" Ginta asked. Artia nodded, the earnestly reflect in her dark brown eyes. "I love Kaldea and I love MAR heaven, I just couldn't stand aside when I saw these places being destroyed. Please, let me join, I can make you new ARMs if you request … if needed I can also lend you my ARM. The most powerful ARM in MAR heaven!"
The most powerful ARM alive? Ginta surveyed the girl in front of him, she actually have a ARM with her? "Since you want to protect MAR heaven, your entry is accepted!" Ginta said. No one is protesting, perhaps everyone is curious about that most powerful ARM in MAR heaven… Trying to lighten the atmosphere a bit, Ginta grinned and pointed at Artia's pen and sketch book. "Hey, is that for our autographs?" he asked. The members of MAR heaven looked at him quizzingly, they themselves had never heard of this phrase before. But Artia seemed to know that phrase. She beamed. "It is not for autographs, captain Ginta. It is the most powerful ARM that I have ever created, and it is also the most powerful ARM in MAR heaven!"
Everyone's attention focused on the girl again. Ginta felt ever so curious, it looked too ordinary to look like a powerful ARM, he has never seen or heard anything like this before, what is this ARM? Artia seemed a bit intimidated by the overly concentrated focus stares on her. She gulped, confidence seemed to shine from her eyes once more as she looked up. "I present to you, the most powerful ARM, pen and sketch book!"
Author's notes: it is vague and the main point hasn't even started yet… hope you readers can bear with me for a while…

Belle: Ah, then again, that's true...

Edward: No, not at all .. thinks Artia might be as scary as dorothy, won't want to get on the bad side of her... shiver
