I really didn't like how Familiar of Zero ended, so I'm going to create my own storyline starting from the battle of 70,000. If people enjoy it, I will continue it until I can't think of anymore. My brain is like a mountain though, it will be awhile until I reach the peak. This is my first fanfic and I hope you enjoy it, my writing skills may not be magnificent, but I have been practicing and this is a good opportunity to let creativity flow and gain experience at the same time. If you enjoy, please leave a review. If you haven't noticed yet, I do not own the Familiar of Zero or any characters In it.
Saito, laying on the battlefield, bruised and battered, pain and suffering in and all around him, could only think of one thing, his master or, dare he say, lover. She had brought him here against his will through a spell known as "Summon Servant," In the hope of obtaining a familiar that would stay with her until death. At first, his only goal was to leave the pinkette and get back to his home, Japan, but as time passed him, even though all she did was whip him, attack him, and even try to blow him to smithereens, he had grown to love her. He had to protect her no matter what. He was the legendary Gandalfr, The Left Hand of God. Even though he knew that death would approach him, attacking the army of 70,000 with no one else except his talking sword Delflinger who stuck with him through everything, and would stay with him until the very end, he would do it for her.
"Louise… thank you for bringing me here, it gave me purpose, that purpose is protecting you." Saito quietly whispered to himself, knowing that he bought a decent amount of time, but just in case, he wanted to buy some more. He looked at the runes of Gandalfr on his hands and he felt the power surge through his veins. With the pain of a thousand tiny needles in his skin transforming to just the feeling of slight soreness, he stood up and courageously drew Delf, ready for the thousands of archers to rain their flurry of arrows down onto him, more than likely ending him. His preparation was in vain, because assoon as soon as the arrows began to fly, he felt light, he couldn't explain the feeling as the sun was covered by dark, ominous clouds. He quickly realized what the light was, when someone was dying, there was supposedly light that brought you to the afterlife. Saito lowered his head and realized, his time alive was over. With his eyes closed, his pain returned full force as his Gandalfr runes on his hands began to fade, signaling that his contract, started with the Summon Servant spell, was ending. With the unbearable pain reaching every inch of his body, he couldn't fall unconsious as he wished to at the face of death. To his surprise, he felt no pain of arrows, he definitely felt the pain of previous injuries, but no extra. He wasn't dead… but how?
Finally opening his eyes, Saito realized he was in a forest, not on the battlefield. His pain surging up again, he realized in his hand, he still had his legendary sword.
"Wow… I didn't know you would come with me to the afterlife Delf." Saito said as loud as he could, which was still lower than his average talking voice.
"You're not in the afterlife partner…" Delf spoke with a hopeful voice. "I teleported us to the forests of Westwood."
"Oh… you've never teleported us somewhere before." Saito said questionably, attempting to stand but unable to move an inch.
"Well, I only have one teleport per Gandalfr, and I felt like that was an appropriate time to do so. I didn't want to wait another 81 years for another user, plus you clean me more than any other has, partner. So, if I teleported you here, maybe there was a chance of survival for you, and if you die, I have to sleep until another Gandalfr arises." Explained the magic sword, who felt more than a weapon to his wielder.
"Well, I don't feel… great… right now, I can probably sur…." Saito tried to assure his sword before slipping into unconsiousness.
"Damn… nevermind, Goodbye partner, I hope we meet again in the… well I don't know if swords go to the afterlife, but it was great knowing you, you were a great man. I guess a beauty sleep wouldn't hurt." Delf said, wishing he would have teleported his partner sooner.
Awakening to the sound of a swoosh, and feeling better than he ever had before, Saito felt the life come back into him… literally, looking up, trying to see the cause of this, he caught the glimpse of an angel, with beautiful, long, blonde hair, blue eyes and that was about all he saw because he felt himself slipping to the power of consiousness.
Awakening again, becoming irritated that he can't stay awake, Saito pinched his cheek and realized, he wasn't in heaven, he was alive. Attempting to sit up, he felt the pain of one hundred needles piercing his skin, not as bad as on the battlefield, but still slightly unbearable.
Saito was flabbergasted over what events had occurred, but he was thankful over whoever saved his… no, whoever resurrected him. Looking around, realizing he was in a basic cabin laying in a very soft bed, he heard a familiar sound.
"Good morning, Partner."
"Delf… what happened? Uh, and where are you?"
"Well, the "angel" resurrected you, healed you, then went out to gather some food. I'm under the bed. She seems nice, be respectful when she returns." Delf explained, with some emphasis on the last part.
"How did she "resurrect me"? Is she like a Necromancer?" Saito asked
"Still as stupid as ever." Delf muttered, purposely loud enough for Saito to hear."I don't know how she resurrected you, remember? I was asleep when you were dead, I awoke as she was bringing you into the cabin, by the way, necromancy doesn't exist."
"Well, that's what I thought about basically everything here before I was acquainted." Said Saito defensively. By the way, you said she was an angel? But if she's on Ea… I mean Halkeginia, she can't be an angel."
"She's not an angel… I was just quoting what you said while you were dreaming." Delf chuckled, if swords could smirk, he would be right now.
"I'm gonna go back to sleep now."
"Suit yourself, partner."
Dreaming about the blond haired girl, wondering who she was, put Saito in a good mood… except the slight annoyance that sounded as if Delf's voice was put on a tape and it kept replaying and he couldn't pause it. The noise eventually made him wake up.
"Partner, Partner, Partner, Partner, Partner, Partner, Pa-."
"Can't you see I'm trying to sleep?!" Saito exclaimed in annoyance.
"Actually no I can't see you. I just wanted to tell you that the girl was here while you were sleeping and she went to go get some water, I saw that there was some not too far north of here, so that means she'll be back soon and you can meet her. She's either very lonely or insane because she was talking to herself. Get me out from under this bed please."
"Why didn't you ask her to do this if she was just here?" Saito asked, doubting if the girl was actually here.
"The tales of Gandalfr and his talking blade are known throughout the land; we're famous. If she knew that I was a talking sword, she could have figured out who you are. I wanted to test if she would help out anybody, and apparently she did. I'm pretty sure anyone would help the legendary Left Hand of God." Delflinger explained, Once again proving that Saito's blade is smarter than he is.
"Wow, smart thinking Delf, but it's hard to believe, she's that nice?" Saito questioned.
Delf felt strange actually praising someone. "Yeah, she's that nice. A good break from that snobby pink-haired spoiled brat."
Saito also felt strange, but rather in a negative way opposed to Delf's positive attitude. "Louise… Isn't she why I went to fight the 70,000 men?"
"Yes, because you wanted to protect her. You were speaking about her right before you died."
"Weird, I haven't thought about her since I was resurrected and my runes disappeared."
"What?! Your runes disappeared?" This marks the first time the sword had ever been surprised, besides that faithful day not too long after he was created... he promised he would tell no one about that and hasn't broken a promise in 4982 years.
"Oh yeah, you can't see me. Ever since I died, my mark was gone."
"That means you are no longer the pink-haired girl's familiar… or Gandalfr."
For the first time, Saito realized something actually useful. "But, I must be, because if I wasn't, you wouldn't be awake right now." Saito said, feeling proud of his below average IQ self.
"Correct partner, I don't know why I am still… wait partner I think she's coming." Delf said then preceded to be quiet.
Although he didn't realize it, it had been raining, and the door opened and in came a girl, seemingly around his age. She had a hood atop her head and realized that the boy was finally awake after 6 days of healing.
The girl that saved him had finally appeared. He didn't actually know what to say at this point so out came an awkward "Hi! Um, thanks for saving me." Saito felt somewhat stupid.
The girl walked around the corner, shielding herself from sight, and replied with a shy sounding voice, "You're welcome."
Saito felt enchanted by the girl's voice and didn't know what to say as the only girl he really didn't want to offend was Louise, and trust me, he didn't want to say anything disrespectful to her. "It's okay, uh… you can come around the corner, you did save my life so I won't think anything negative about you." Trying to strengthen her courage if she had low self-esteem and that's why she wouldn't face him.
"No it's…not that." Said the girl. Saito heard she was moving around in the kitchen, maybe trying to find something.
It seemed as if she found what she was looking for and went out to face the young man who she saved.
Saito realized that this was the "angel" who actually wasn't an angel, but a human.
But she looked like an angel.
As I said, I will continue this series, and I will update it quite frequently. Please leave honest reviews and comment on what I can improve.
