EDIT: I added a few details in this chapter due to reviews that pointed out some of the mistakes on my part. Thank you for the criticism
Disclaimer: I do not own Halo or Familiar Of Zero otherwise a game called Familiar of Halo would have existed.
Chapter 2: First meeting at another dimension
At the Tristain Academy of Magic…
"Come on you can do it! Oh wait, you can't, that's why the call you zero isn't it?"
"Cover your ears! This attempt will obviously fail and cause yet another explosion due to the great and perfect magic because the best student on this academy is about to summon her familiar, if that is possible for her anyway."
Many more taunts come from the crowd as Louise Francoise le Blanc de la Valliere begins the ritual to summon her familiar, she knows that she should expect the unexpected since just about anything can be summoned by her spell, but what will come out will turn out to be the surprise of her life.
"Ok…. Here goes!"
*POOF*
A great smokescreen has popped out from the area she had intended to cast the spell in.
"Well, at least it wasn't a complete failure this time as there was no explosion so, congratulations!"
The whole crowd of students roared with laughter at the comment and the pink-haired mage's face suddenly turns red from shame and embarrassment.
"N-no, I'm sure that worked!"
Suddenly, out of the puff of thick smoke, a green armored being at least seven foot tall emerges with a strange looking crate right beside it.
"Is that a golem?"
"Hmmm…. I doubt it, personally I think that is not a golem as it looks more like futuristic armor than rock and most golems I've seen are quite larger than that and to top it all off, it has what seems to be a yellow mirror on its face, golems obviously don't have that."
"And what's that weird-looking crate right next to it? I've never seen anything like that before"
Enzio-B312 is fully revealed from the fog, MA37 armed pointing at the directions of those voices, only to find out that he was pointing it on some students that look like freaking Harry Potter rejects, the girls sporting white shirts, black skirts and white stockings, as well as some kind of cape on their backs, while the boys having the same shirts but others have different variations and wearing black pants, and to complete their attire, they were all holding wands, also, he noticed that he was in a completely different environment from where he just was a few seconds ago, but the placed looked a lot like a school way back in the middle ages of mankind.
He could make out a small amount of their conversation and determined that their language was possibly French, which was a language known to the UNSC, so he activated his helmet's translator and set it to French.
I guess those lessons with other languages we had back during training has come really handy this time around.
"Wow, the zero managed to summon a golem? No wait, it's a MINI-golem I guess we could call her Louise the One now instead of the Zero since you have to give her credit for succeeding on this one-in-a-million situation"
The crowd laughed at this comment before a man glanced at them in such a way that it silenced them.
"Please give me another try Mr. Colbert!"
He turned to his side to see a girl about 15 years old with Pink hair and wearing the girl's uniform as it didn't take too long for it to dawn on him that he had been transported to a school of some sort, the girl was pleading to the man who silenced the students earilier, he was bald, wearing glasses, had blue eyes, and sporting what seems to be a teacher's clothes from the middle ages, fitting as he looked around his environment once more.
"Of course not, it is forbidden you have summoned this being as your familiar and you must seal the contract; you know that Louise, "
The pink-haired magician, or so it seemed, whined while the Professor stood strong before the kid finally relented
Still tensed up by the battle just a few seconds ago and not minding the comments made by the crowd, as the Spartans where already used to being called freaks by civilians and sometimes fellow marines, as he thought that was the case. The Spartan decides not to stay for long because even if Reach fell and he managed to survive that by being transported here through unknown means, which he was thankful for, but he still had a war to fight.
Noble Six activated his suit's external speakers.
"Where am I and how was I transported here?"
Everyone's attention turned to the golem with shock as that was the last thing they expected.
"No way! That is definitely NOT a golem. "
The pink-haired girl beside him recovered from her initial shock.
"What the…. No wait. What the heck is my familiar?"
"I am Spartan-B312 of the United Nations Space Command Defense Forces, Call sign Noble Six"
" What are you talking about? And you're saying you are just a very tall commoner inside that weird green armor?"
B312 had been called a freak, robot, machine, Freaking robot machine and other insulting words by some civilians and a few marines due to his status as a SPARTAN-III Super Soldier that could perform much better in everything than normal humans could, but the Orbital Drop Shock Troopers or ODSTs called him far worse, so being called a commoner, which was opposite to all the insults he had received, utterly stunned him for a few milliseconds and completely forgot the first part of what she just said.
"A commoner?"
"Never mind, take off your helmet."
"Why should I?"
"JUST DO IT!"
"No."
The man who the pink-haired girl referred to as Mr. Colbert stepped in.
"Please Louise, let me explain things to him as this must be very new to him."
"O-okay."
So the kid's name is Louise huh.
Mr. Colbert then turns toward the Spartan.
"First of all, I must apologize for my student's actions."
"It is okay sir!"
The Spartan's military instinct kicked in and he subconsciously saluted.
"Uh, there is no need for formalities, just call me Mr. Colbert I am a teacher in this school, which is know as the Tristain Academy of Magic, anyway let me explain things to you in a short version, this young girl here whose name is Louise is your new master and you are her familiar, essentially, her servant, so please obey her instructions to you in order to complete your summoning."
The Spartan, despite being a Spartan, watched a lot of TV and books during his time as a child before his parents were killed in a Covenant attack, he could vividly remember the movies and shows as well as the stories and novels that he read way back, specifically science-fiction topics, more specifically the shows and books that depicted characters traveling to other dimensions or realities and possibly timelines by means impossible with logical science, those were his favorites, and as such, it did not take long for him to realized that the same happened to him as there were no other possible explanations in his mind, so he decided that it was unlikely for him to get back to his reality as quickly as he had left it. Now with that in mind, he knew that he had to be careful around this world and adapt to it's rules, which was knocked into their skulls during training back at Reach, but he wasn't very happy to learn that he would be taking commands from a 15 year old.
" What if I refuse? "
" Well….. that never happened before so…"
This got the teacher stuttering, he seriously did not expect them to not know what to do if a person refuses to be some lowly servant to a kid, which is a lot more likely to happen than not.
"so?"
"Well, you aren't supposed to refuse since the contract has been sealed, and if you do then I will have to force you to accept it."
The Spartan then thought to himself:
"A civilian like you can FORCE someone like me? I highly doubt it."
"By yourself?"
Right now the crowd was in complete silence, a lowly commoner had just belittled their teacher, then they started laughing at the strange armored being and Louise, as she should have been responsible for her familiar.
At that time Louise was thinking to herself:
"What, did my Familiar just challenge Mr. Colbert?!"
Said man then raises his hand and makes a small fireball appear right above it and floats.
"Yes, by myself."
" Where in the universe did I land? This can't be possible as they do not have the technology to pull this off, no, this is probably MAGIC!, I stopped thinking that magic along with miracles existed after my parents died by the hands of that big, and ugly Sangheili bastard, but seems like I'm wrong, this should be interesting, I always dreamed of being able to use magic so I think I'll play along for now."
"Fine then I apologize for that and I accept this "contract" Enzio-B312 says while slowly nodding.
Fireball that the man held up suddenly dissipates into thin air.
Louise then makes her presence known.
"Ahem. Now as I said before, please take off your helmet" she said with a tone of annoyingness and her face red with shame and anger for what her familiar just did."
The Spartan was now suspicious as to what they were planning, but he knew that if they were going to try harming him, they would not only fail, but they would not live to regret it, so he just decided to play along.
He reaches for his helmet and pops it out with pressurized gas popping out of it, much to the student's curiosity if this being was indeed human.
"It is done..."
The Crowd gasps in shock.
The being was not lying when it said it was a human soldier, he was male and looked to be around age 21, he had short brown hair, blue eyes , and he had many scars lining his face, which was no doubt testament to his battles against the Covenant as a Spartan. And he was also attractive by most female standards.
Once again Louise recovers from her shock and spoke:
"W-well, now that is done, please kneel down."
The Spartan complied and kneeled down to about Louise's height.
"Now what?"
"Now this will make me sick but…."
"Hmmm what do you…"
At mid-sentence the pink-haired mage suddenly darted forward and kissed Enzio-B312 while he was wondering what she meant in her earlier statement, combined with a speed so fast that even with his reaction time he was still "Hit", and not only that, she hit him right in the lips.
(Author: Some Spartans can be taken by surprise with the right amount of confusion and speed. A bit like what happened to Kat-B320 (Noble Two).)
They stayed like that for a miniscule amount of time then her lips parted with his.
"You will now address me as master since you are now my familiar and I have just sealed the contract."
The Spartan was left stuck to his thoughts on what just happened.
"What the hell did this brat do? she just kissed me a few moments ago then told me that she was my master?"
His thoughts were interrupted by a souring pain in his right hand, comparable to that of being hit by an overcharged plasma pistol shot. Though he managed to keep his cool and did not show any feelings of pain, which was commendable but expected of a Spartan-III.
He immediately places his left hand right above his right hand directly above where the pain was coming from for a moment or two before deciding to remove his gauntlet.
He was surprised at what he saw, a white glowing rune at the back of his hand.
"What the…"
Professor Colbert spoke with no sense of malice, indicating that he accepted the earlier apology.
"The contract is sealed, now move along, as other students will also be summoning their own familiars, and Louise, lead this man to your room."
He turned towards the Spartan.
"She will entertain your questions there, now go and I'll call for the school's staff to help carry that large box you brought with you."
"That will not be necessary Mr. Colbert."
He then proceeds to lift the two ton supply and weapons drop crate with one arm, which completely shocks the audience yet again.
"Alright, shall we go now?"
Author's notes: Cheers, the second chapter is complete! Anyways, In this fic, Noble Six has donned the standard-issued MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor Mark V as I personally think it is the best-looking variant of the armor.
I'll have a hell of time writing the next chapter due to the fact that I have not seen a single episode of Familiar of Zero and only decided to create this fic due to other fics I have seen in this category, so I am relying heavily on the information on Wikis and other fics to create this so please tell me if I have made any highly noticeable errors aside from conversations, and if I do decide to stray from the storyline I shall notify you readers.
