(Start)

Leone was once again at the flower fields of White Camille's where Lara's grave was. He was still dressed in his white Madou Robes as he has been sense reclaiming Garo. His younger brother was recently born so he wouldn't be using the combo of Garo and Zoro for a while not like he used it much. After this past year the Makai Order had begun to rebuild and Leone had sort of been wandering slaying Horrors at the Watchdogs orders and being one who protects.

He looked at the flowers in silence with his crimson eyes as his red hair covered one of his eyes. It's been almost quiet for a while sense Mendoza was sealed in Makai and Leone had been slaying Horrors regularly. As he sat he grasped his left arm as he was reminded of his mother's sacrifice to defeat Mendoza. "Mother," Leone said as his ring which was a gothic skill design spoke.

"I understand you still miss her Leone but thanks to her Mendoza is sealed in Makai," it said as Leone looked at his talkative ring as he smiled.

"I know Zaruba and I promised I would be one who protects because as Garo I have to be strong," Leone said as he was reminded of Alfonzo.

Speaking of his Prince Cousin Alfonzo was able to assist in rebuilding the Castle and the town sense Anima resurrection and his King Uncle had made a full recovery. Leone knew not many people can say there cousin was a prince and there uncle was a King and Alfonzo had offered Leone a place at the town but Leone had declined his offer as he had stayed with Xenia till her son was born and now he knew once his younger brother reached of age he as the Gold Knight would train him and pass down Zoro to him.

That was when Leone noticed something off as he saw a green hole of sorts. "Zaruba you see that?" he asked as he was ready for anything.

"It doesn't looks like a Gate but I don't sense any Inga at all," Zaruba said as Leone went to investigate. But the minute he stood up he heard a voice.

"Oh faithful, beautiful, and powerful servant, somewhere within the universe, please heed my come side and answer my summons!" a voice called as it was female as Leone looked around.

"I hear it too Leone it seems whatever it is someone is trying to summon something or someone," Zaruba said as Leone was ready for anything.

"I beg of you from the bottom of my heart I summon thee," the voice continued as Leone walked to the portal and poked it and saw it rippled like water.

"Definitely not a Gate," Zaruba said as Leone was feeling a bit daring before he stuck his arm in but when he did he found it was stuck as Zaruba was shocked. "LEONE!" he called as Leone cursed as he was being pulled in. Leone struggled for a bit before he was pulled all the way in and dragged into an endless Darkness.

As Leone was shocked he soon saw a light and found himself in the sky as he plummeted torts the Earth.

(Meanwhile while all this was happening)

Louise Valier was standing before a summoning circle as she was preparing to perform her summoning. Louise was a pink haired girl dressed in a student uniform with a blue cape signaling herself as a second year student of Tristian Academy of Magic. Louise was called many things, failure as a mage, a screw up, talentless, and even short tempered but one named she hated above all else was Louise the Zero.

Louise had been called that sense she first enrolled and it showed she had no affinity to any element as all spells she attempts to perform were explosive failures literally. Thought there are secrets that even her classmates didn't know about pertaining to her family as she would be the one to summon her Familiar today.

"Ok did everyone summon?" the bald teacher Colbert asked as Louise was trying to stay hidden.

"No Louise hadn't summon her Familiar yet," a red haired girl with large breasts said as Louise cursed silently.

"Well then Ms. Valier can you please summon your Familiar," the teacher requested as Louise walked to the summoning circle before she began the incantation.

"Oh faithful, beautiful, and powerful servant, somewhere within the universe, please heed my come side and answer my summons!" she began said as magic began to come out of the circle. "I beg of you from the bottom of my heart I summon thee," she said before in the end there was an explosion caused by Louise's magic as everyone was caught off guard.

"Damn it Zero don't you know any control?" one asked as the dust settled to show what everyone assumed was a fellow noble standing there as he was kneeling down. Louise went wide eyed as she recognized the uniform from visitors as they were a well-kept family secret in her family and the royal family.

The young red haired man looked around and saw Louise looking at him with wide eyed before he decided to relieve some of the tension. "Who are you?" he asked as Louise spoke.

"We should be asking you the same question young man," Colbert said as the man nodded.

"Leone Luis," Leone said as the teacher nodded before turning to Louise.

"Well then Ms. Valier would you please complete the ritual," he asked as Louise nodded to that.

Leone was confused as to what was going on before Louise walked up to him. She said some words that he didn't quiet here before she kissed him on the lips as he was wide eyed as that was the second time he was kissed out of the blue as when she did he felt a pain on his hand. The pain was severe as he saw runic letters being etched onto his skin as he soon passed out from the pain.

(Later)

When Leone came too he found himself in a room on the floor as he looked at his hand to see Zaruba was still there but added to his hand was what looked like runic words that didn't seem to match any Makai Language he's seen. As he looked around he took noticed to the girl who apparently brought him here as she was brushing her hair.

"You where am I?" he asked as Louise looked as she nodded.

"You are in Tristain Academy of Magic I summoned you here to be my Familiar another failure sense I summoned a Makai Knight," Louise said in shame as she knew she didn't meant to summon a Knight.

"Familiar?" Leone asked as Louise looked at him confusingly.

"Don't you know where you are?" Louise asked as Leone had some questions.

"Before I answer tell me how far is Tristian from Valiente?" Leone asked as Louise was confused.

"I never heard of such a Kingdom before," Louise said hoping she didn't summon a loony Peasant in disguise.

Leone then walked to the window and too his shock he saw two moons in the sky as Zaruba also saw this. "It looks like we've been dragged into another world by this girls summoning," Zaruba said as Leone was shocked.

"Ok then my name is Leone Luis and what I want to know is how you know about Makai Knights?" Leone asked as Louise nodded.

"Well only my family and the Royal Family of Tristian knows of them though I don't know about other Kingdoms the Makai order made an agreement with my family for my family to provide assistance in Horror Hunts due to our connections to the crown and in exchange they will select one member of our family to be trained in there ways though that time has not come yet," Louise explained as Leone nodded.

"I see," Leone said as he sighed.

"It seems I am stuck here but can you tell us this mark on my hand?" Leone asked as he was showing the Familiar mark.

"That's the familiar Mark which binds you to me for you to protect me until either of us die," Louise explained before Zaruba spoke up.

"Basically he's your slave then," Zaruba said as Leone looked at her with disapproving eyes.

"If I could undo the seal I would but its binding but if I don't have a familiar then I would be considered a failure as a mage," Louise argued as Leone sighed.

"I guess I don't have much of a choice then, fine we'll stay for now but only until me and Zaruba can find another way home," Leone said as Louise nodded.

"Ok but if I may ask, what is your title as a Makai Knight?" Louise asked as Zaruba spoke next.

"He is the Golden Knight Garo," Zaruba said as Louise gasped she had no idea she had a legend as her familiar.

"Wait you're the Legendary Knight the Hero clad in Gold Fanged armor who saved this Kingdom from ruin," Louise said before she bowed as Leone was unaccustomed to being shown respect.

"Hey don't boy it's just Leone, Garo is an inherited title I inherited from my mother," Leone said as Louise nodded.

"Well then I do hope we can get along and I promise I'll try and get you back to where you came from sense a Makai Knight's duty is to slay Horrors," Louise said as Leone nodded. Leone looked outside and saw it was getting late before Louise noticed to.

"Well not to be rude but I need to change," Louise said as Leone was already out the door waiting outside.

(Scene break the next morning)

Leone and Louise were walking around the school grounds as Leone had taken notice that Louise seemed to be bullied and knew that could lead to her attracting a Horror which Leone had to be on the lookout for.

As they walked they soon arrived at what looked like an extravagant dining room as it looked like it can host a party.

"Why are there so many students out here and not inside doing their studies?" Leone asked, as much as he learns from last night this entire place was a school of sort for young mages in training.

"Every year after the spring time familiar ritual summoning; all 2nd year mages get a day off to spend time with their familiar to help with the contracted. In other words help the familiar ease in to their new life." Louise explains best she could to what she had learned.

Leone saw all around, creature other than horror walking, and enjoying their time with their owner, as Leon held up Zaruba as he sense the area as he soon said, "There not horrors it seems, not even that weird big eye one."

"AS Louise hear what the ring said as she look around to see what it saw to the big eye creature that was just floating around as Louise said, "A bugbear, most common type of familiar to some.

"Bugbear?" Leone asked as weird as that creature was, it name seem to stand out as why a bugbear as it doesn't look like a bug he knew of, nor a bear of sort.

"Come, there a table over here," Louise said as walk over to an empty table with Leone following behind, both of them took a seat, as Leone had to adjusts himself with his sword hidden from view, he would like to keep it that way as the last thing he may want to start was a misunderstanding.

As the two sat down it didn't take long for their food to arrive as Leon saw it looked to be a desert. The last time he had a cake was during his last visit to the Castle so he took a fork and began to eat. It was an uncomfortable silence as before Louise could speak it was Leone who broke the ice.

"So tell me about yourself," Leone asked as Louise nodded.

"Well as you already know my name is Louise Valliere and I-," Louise began before Leone saw a large red reptile as he acted.

"Look out!" he called as he grabbed Louise as she looked at him confusingly.

"Oh don't tell me you never seen a Salamander before," came a voice as Leone looked to see a large breasted girl with tan skin, red hair and wearing the school uniform.

"What do you want Zerbst?!" Louise demanded as Leone knew he might have to split up a fight.

"Oh nothing I just wanted to see your "magnificent and graceful Familiar," and I have to say he looks like some foreign Noble," Kirche said as Zaruba knew when to be quiet.

'Actually technically speaking I have blood relations to royalty as well as inherited Knight Title all through my mother,' Leone thought as he watched the two ague.

"I don't want you anywhere near my familiar!" Louise growled as Kirche chuckled a bit.

"Tell me familiar what, is your name?" Kirche asked as Leone looked.

"Leone Luis," Leone said as Kirche nodded.

"Yes well then me and my familiar Flame must be off then ta-ta," Kirche said as Louise growled.

"WHAT IS HER PROBLEM!?" Louise growled as Zaruba spoke up.

"I would just let it go it will only result in more problems later down the road," Zaruba said as Louise then glared at the Knight and ring as Leone knew that was his quae to run.

"I'll get some tea," Leone said before running off. Luckily last night Leone got the basic lay of the school in the event a Horror shows up so he didn't have to worry about getting lost.

Louise sighed as he sat down and waited for her tea.

(With Leone)

Leone arrived at the kitchen and saw all the staff working as he walked up to two people holding a tea pot. "Excuse me I need to take some tea to Louise is this brew ready?" he asked as the two did a bow and nodded.

"I shall take it then to Louise," Leone said as he two nodded and he headed to Louise.

(Later)

Leone arrived as he saw Louise was still waiting as he placed the plate down and put the two cups out followed by the pouring of the tea. "Thanks," Louise said as it was clear she calmed down.

"No problem," Leone said but before they could talk a new sound was heard.

"SLAP!"

Leone turned to see a maid on the ground as what his father would call a pansy was standing over a maid clearly had slapped her as he had two slap marks on his face as Zaruba could sense it.

"Leone that boy is producing Inga and so is that girl we better stop this before one or both of them become Horrors," Zaruba said as Leone nodded.

Leone didn't need to be told twice as he walked over to situation. "What's going on here?" Leone asked as the boy looked.

"This commoner had tarnished my good name and brought two lovely woman to tears," the boy said before Leone turned to the girl.

"All I did was try and return a bottle of perfume to him," the maid said as Zaruba spoke.

"This girl is telling the truth the boy is lying," Zaruba said as Leone looked.

"Sorry but I will have to take the girls side on this those tears were caused by your ignorance," Leone began but before the boy could counter Leone beat him to the punch. "You remind me of someone I both respect and hate he fell under the respect category you fall under the hate," Leone said as this boy did remind him of his dead father.

"Why you I shall now by talked down to by a mere peasant dressed like a Noble," the boy said before taking out a rose. "I call for a duel," he said as Zaruba spoke again.

"Personally I would advise against fighting him but he really needs to be taught a lesson he accepts," Zaruba said as Leone was going to accept anyway.

"Very well meet me at Vetri Court in 1 hour," the boy said as Leone turned to the maid and kneeled down to her.

"Are you ok?" he asked as the maid nodded.

"Yes thank you kind sir," she said as Leone nodded.

"Good just leave everything to me, after all I fight as one who protects," Leone said as some of the girls swooned at how heroic and kind Leone sounded added to his good looks some of them began to envy the maid.

Louise rush over soon as she could when she quickly caught wind of the duel, amazing how fast news travel around. AS Louise got up to Leone and dare to pull his ear and drag him away from anyone who might hear them as she said, "Are you crazy? Accepting a duel against a mage, you can't fight him like a normal Makai Knight would do."

Leone rub his ear where Louise grab at and said, "It doesn't matter if I'm a knight or not. I learn well enough you don't blame other for your own mistakes, let alone harm them."

Louise was going crazy at her hair as it look a bit fizzy now and said, "You don't even know anything about this land. Commoners are not supposed to go against nobles, even if they do they stand no chance against them."

Leone piff at that, he has face many horror, even ones that were still growing before summoning his armor to fight a mature horror, lessor ones were of little to no skill to use against. A fight against a noble ma… no a mage in training would be of little energy.

Leone walk off back to the gathering as Louise asked, "Where are you going?!"

"To find Vetri Court, and don't try to stop me," Leone said as he walk away as Louise got angry and said, "I knew Makai knight were stubborn but why did I have to summon one that a completely trouble more than he's worth!" She was already in a bad spot in the academy as being Louise the Zero, but she didn't want to find out if there was anything lower than that.

Louise soon runs off after her familiar, hoping to maybe stopping the duel before it begins.

(An hour later)

Leone was at the meeting spot as the boy was there waiting as Leone glared with his crimson eyes. "I commend you for not running away," the boy said as Leone glared.

"You clearly hold no honor as a noble, so you shouldn't be allowed to commend," Leone said as the boy drew a rose clearly angry.

"I shall not be talked down by a peasant we shall begin this duel," the boy said before Louise appeared.

"Stop you can't do this Guiche you know duels are forbidden," Louise said appearing between the two.

"So his name is Guiche," Zaruba said as that sounded a bit like couch to him.

"Only between nobles Louise and this is a duel between a commoner and a noble," Guiche said before Leone spoke up.

"Stay out of the Louise he needs to be showed that you can't use someone as a scape goat," Leone said remembering flames.

"Now then I am Guiche Del Gramot but I am also known as Guiche the Bronze," Guiche said before using his rose and summoned a bronze Valkyrie. "As I am a mage my Valkyrie shall be your opponent," Guiche said before Leone drew the Garoken and took his battle stance.

"Then allow me to introduce myself I am Leone Luis I am also known as the one who protects," Leone said as he was ready. At the moment he held his sword, the runes on his hand started to glow with Zaruba seeing it for himself as he thought to himself, 'Interesting.'

As everyone gather around the two, to see the duel that about start, it was dead silent at first as Guiche had his bronze Valkyrie ready, and to Leone had his weapon ready as well but many wonder why his sword doesn't have a guard on it, at most it wasn't looking like a proper weapon to use such as this.

Louise pray that Leone can somehow come out unharmed from this fight as not many know his secret, she also hope it doesn't comes down to summoning his armor as last thing she want was someone death be on her hand becomes of her own familiar.

After a moment between the mage and knight, the bronze armor charge at Leone fast as anyone could see. For Leone, he could see it clearly as day.

As he ran up the field, taking no more than 6 steps before ducking and slashing his sword at the armor as it aimed high with its fist with Leone aimed low with his Garoken.

As the two pass each other, both stood still. As some people just blank as some of them asked, "What happen?" "Did Guiche's Valkyrie hit that guy?" For Guiche was starting to worry to what just happen as he just saw his bronze Valkyrie went pass Leone.

For a moment when the wind blow past by the bronze armor Valkyrie, a small 'Cling' was heard as it show the bronze armor was cut in half at the waste and fell apart to the ground before turning back into a rose bud that was clearly see it was cut in half like the Valkyrie as well.

"What, impossible!" someone said as they couldn't believe what they just saw, even Louise was taken by surprise by that. Guiche on the other hand was wide eye to that and said, "You… you cut down my Valkyrie."

Leone stood up and said, "Hardily a challenge. A cowardly move to use a bronze statue to fight for you, you are better off leaving then standing still."

Guiche got piss at that as he said, "You calling me a coward. I'll show you should respect to your betters, Familiar of Zero!" summoning more bronze Valkyrie by the flick of his rose wand as more and more show up but this time with weapon like spear and swords.

Leone smirked as the Valkyrie's then attacked but Leon was ready he parried, blocked and countered every attack sent at him as his Garoken proved to be the superior weapon. Leone could tell his armor wasn't needed as he slashed the head off a Valkyrie before turning to a now scared Guiche.

Leone then charged but instead of slashing or stabbing Leon with his free hand punched Guiche in the face giving him a black eye. "I yield," Guiche said as he held his eye in pain as Leone nodded.

'That punch felt good,' Leone thought as his thoughts drifted to his father. Leone the sheathed the Garoken before putting a hand out. "Need a hand?" he asked as Guiche was shocked before taking the hand.

"Thank you," Guiche said as Leone nodded before walking away.

Louise who saw the whole thing sighed in relief as she saw that Leone had the skills of a trained warrior. "Good his secret is still kept," Louise said quietly before following Leone.

(Change of scene)

AS the two walk away, the scene change as it came to an office room of sort as two men as one of them was the bald teacher Colbert as the other was an old man with a white mouse on his shoulder that seem to be he's the head master and one lady who is with them were watching the fight from a crystal ball as Colbert stair wide eye to the amazing display of swordsmanship he ever seen along with the other two as they were surprise by it as well.

'So this is the legendary Gandalfr? By the founder,' as Professor Colbert thought to himself.

"What an spectacular young man he is, to think someone like him to come, although he has a unusual style of his skill, and that sword nothing like I have ever seen before," the head master said as the lady push up her glasses as she lean up from where she was and said, "Quite, could he be from a royal kingdom of sorts?"

"That difficult to say at the least, but we must be aware of him," Colbert said trying to keep his cool about Leone, if he knew what other didn't he couldn't say it where ears could be everywhere.

"At moment, let us celebrate, I just won the betting," The old man said as the lady titled her glasses up a small notch as the light just reflexes on her glasses as she said, "Gambling are we now head master?"

The old man smile but sweated a bit as he hated when his assistant was like this as she more strict than other, even when the old man was trying to look up her shirt or his pet mouse.

(Scene break that night)

Louise was preparing for bed as Leone was leaning against the wall. As he leaned Zaruba sensed something as he focus knowing how small the school was. "Leone we have a problem there's a Horror on the school grounds," Zaruba said as Louise gasped at hearing this as Leone got ready.

"Louise stay in your room this Horror could be dangerous," Leone said before he got up and headed out.

"Wait Leone!" Louise called but it was too late Leone was already outside the door and closed it. "Damn," Louise cursed as she hoped Leone would be ok.

(With Leone)

Leone was running as Zaruba was being his guide to the Horror as he knew full well that the Horror can be dangerous and should not be allowed to roam free. Leone soon arrived at the court yard as he looked to the staff dorms a man walk in there. "Leone the Horror is in there," Zaruba said as Leone nodded and ran in that direction. When he got there he heard a scream as he quickly opened the door and saw the Horror had already eaten one of the unnamed staff. Leone then jumped over the Horror and stood between it and the Staff.

"Run," Leone ordered as the Staff ran to get help as the Horror growled.

"Who do you think you are human to get in the way of my meal?" the Horror demanded before Zaruba spoke.

"He's the Golden Knight Garo," Zaruba said as the Horror was now shocked and clearly scared.

"G-garo!?" he yelped in fear as he was ready for a fight.

Leone ready his weapon as he slide across his arm, he stair into the eyes of the horror waiting for the right moment.

As the horror fear got to it, roar out an in human scream and charge at the young knight, clawed at him hoping to wound him but Leone was just as fast as the Horror, to counter and slash the horror.

As the Horror get knock back, it reach for the nearest things around and threw them at the Makai Knight.

Deflexed the thrown items, duck a rock, and jump over a wooden post that was in the ground.

Leone got closer to the horror to hit it as he cut its arms up and slash at its chest to cause it enough pain to relives it true form.

Around the corner of wall around, the same maid earlier today looked in amazed to see Leone fighting against the in-human being as being helped by him and saved as well.

AS the horror roar out, it body started to shift as its human host seem it can't handle the horror anymore as it burst showing the horror true form.

The Horror looked like it was a human reptile as its head was made of snakes and its skin was pale white as it had a sword and a reptile tale. Zaruba of course had info on the Horror. "The Reptile Warrior Horror Gyasa he's troublesome as his snakes can fire beams and if they bite you, you turn to stone, he can regrow all his limbs but his head and torso so aim for his head and torso," Zaruba said as Leone nodded.

Leone then raised his sword skyward before cutting an energy ring that then summoned gold armor as it all attached to Leone turning him into Garo as he took a stance which summed a Makai symbol, that was as, gold as Garo, behind him as Gyasa was shocked.

"Wow," the maid whispered as Garo then slid the broadsword that was the Garoken against his arm causing sparks before charging at Gyasa.

Weapons clash against each other, deadlock as the horror wanted it as to use it snakes to snap at Garo tried to bite him, but he shift his head to avoid them and kick the horror out of the dead lock.

Sliding on the ground the horror shot fireball at the Makai Knight as he was about to dodge but at the corner of his eyes saw someone in the way.

"Crap!" Garo cursed as he turn back to the fireballs and started to deflect them as the Horror keep firing at Garo.

This went on for a bit until the horror went out after he fire 5 more fireballs at the Makai and ran to him behind the fires, as when it got close, taken by surprise but not unprepared as it parry it incoming attacks and try to cut off it rows of snake heads but used it tail to take the hit as it was cut off.

"This Horror is becoming really troublesome," Zaruba said as Garo nodded. "Add the fact we have a witness we will need to get her to safety to avoid the Horrors blood getting on her," Zaruba said as Garo knew he needed a plan and fast.

"Yeah and that Tail will be back in no time we need to draw its attention to give that maid a chance to escape," Garo said before he got an idea. Garo then charged at the Horror as his mind was flooded with information on more battle styles before he punched the Horror and use the blade on the wrist and stabbed Gyasa before pushing it away. Garo then turned to the Maid as he gave her an opening.

"HURRY RUN!" he ordered as the girl nodded and ran off before the Horror broke free. "Now time to end this," Garo said as he got some distance. Garo then slashed an X in the air once it was finished it was sent at the Horror where it cut the Horror to pieces destroying which resulted in it being sealed as Gyasa was now gone. Garo sheathed the Garoken before he reverted back to Leone as it was just in time too as Teachers arrived with wands out.

"Where's the Monster?" one asked as Leone looked.

"I took care of it so the danger has passed," Leone said as Osmond nodded.

"Well then thank you Leone Luis and our apologies you had to awaken late at night to deal with it," Osmond said as Leone nodded.

"It's no problem I am one who protects after all, now then I am heading back to Louise's room to get some sleep," Leone said before he bowed in respect and walked off with no one stopping.

Colbert saw the sword and saw how there was no corpse before sighing to himself. 'Seems even a retired Makai Alchemist still has to deal with Makai related stuff every now and again,' he thought before he began to walk off.
