Someone proposed the idea of doing a crossover with myself...it means taking a "version" of Naruto from one of my own stories and use him as a familiar.
This was the first draft before I came-up with "Sexy Umbra Wizard 2" and "OP Familiar" as you can see by the fact that I "re-used" some parts of this to write the other two, so I basically made TWO Fanfics using the parts of this one.
In origin the plan was using FOUR Versions of Naruto coming from other Fanfictions I wrote as Louises Familiars…
Yes, it was THAT SHITTY of an Idea, then I got better.
But I never erased this because I thought it would have been a waste.
The Four Familiars were supposed to be:
Darko Namikaze (Son of the Scarred Man, he posses the Grand Arcanum and a "true" Philosopher Stone inside himself- Naruto/ Full Metal Alchemist crossover)
Luis Umbra (Son of Jeanne and Salamander Hanzou, posses Bayonetta-style Magic and Ibuse as ninja summon - Naruto/ Bayonetta Crossover)
Naruto "Jojo" Namikaze. (Has the Stone Arrow fused with Kurama, his Stand can copy the abilities of every other Stand of the manga - Naruto/ Jojo Biz. Adventure cross.)
Baron Shi (From "Black Baron of Suna" a Naruto created by using "Necromancy" Page in Superpower wiki, NOT a Naruto/ Zombie desu ka? Crossover).
Will probably attract Flamers here and in the original stories, but I came to accept it as inevitable.
"You bastard" - demon talking / jutsu
"Let's finish this" - dialogue
" Can it get any worse? " - during flashback/thoughts
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or Zero no Tsukaima (Familiar of Zero) or whatever I will use and I already used in this or any other story I write, wrote and will write nor I did this for money or any sort of compensation. Thank you for your time.
A word of advice, Naruto here will act slightly different from Canon due to not being the "Original one".
Chapter 1: The Zero over-achieves and summons four Familiars.
The Library –
An old man was hunched over a thick wooden table while carefully writing on a long, old scroll of parchment with the equally-old feather in his hand flying on the rough material with subtle scratching noises, only a demurred humming leaving the venerable man's mouth from time to time as he kept recording the chronicles of places he had never seen, detailing memorable actions he never witnessed and securing to posterity the names of people he didn't even know personally nor will ever meet face-to-face.
That was the job of a "Divine Librarian", pure recording of whatever his "Inner Eye" dictated him, never asking "who, why or what" about what he was recording, and for over five thousand years this particular "Librarian" did just that, always writing under the light of his trusty never-ending candle and with the perpetually-inked feather tightly held in his wrinkled hand.
He was a rather "Young" Librarian as five thousand years was barely enough to define him as someone out of his apprenticeship and finally recognized as a full-fledged recorder of Creation's history.
Books surrounded him, bookshelves filled to the brim by ancient tomes detailing every little happening that the past Librarians have recorded ever since the very beginning of Time itself, trillions of pages to tell the stories of a number so vast of lives, lands and wars and conquests and Deaths to not have a proper number to actually count them, even for such an elevated realm as the Land of Gods, and every day a new book would be added in the infinite shelves as tall as towers and moving along rows so long to disappear in the horizon of the infinitely huge room.
The eternal silence of the Library though went suddenly pierced by a sorrow-filled call of a young soul, so young to appear like lasting just a mere instant when compared to the Librarian himself, and yet, the voice of the Mortal still reached the ears of the venerable recorder shocking even him and stopping his writing, something that had never happened before.
"Oh?" the old man muttered curious as the voice grew stronger, the very weight of its despair moving Creation itself to tears and permitting to a mere Mortal's call to reach even those forbidden walls.
"Oh Powerful Familiar that resides in the Void…" the young female voice asked pleadingly with each word speaking of a wounded heart and way too frail spirit.
"I can hear you, young mortal." the Librarian answered with the gentle smile of a father watching his own daughter rise her little arms to be lifted into a hug.
"Oh being of Glory and Power…" the voice continued, this time gaining the smallest hint of hope as if feeling the old man's benign stare on her.
"Huhuhu! Such flattering words, but there is no need. What do you need from me?" he asked back amused, if the voice reached him then he knew it was right for him to listen and answer.
"I desire and plea from my heart and soul for my Familiar to appear in front of me…"
"You want a Familiar? Unfortunately I can't be that myself, my duty is to the Library and its knowledge alone…but maybe I can still answer to your prayer by giving you what you need," the Librarian answered with a sad tone before a faint glint shined briefly in his eyes as he rose from his seat in a faint clacking of old bones rearranging themselves.
"Oooh…" he moaned a little pathetically to be honest, but five thousand years spent in a sitting position did have their toll on his body.
Limping his way towards one of the shelves he left his hand wander along the back of the books until one of them simply fell open in his waiting grasp by itself, soon followed by other three equally massive and heavy records making the Librarian let out a subtle "Hoof!" of surprise.
"You four? Are you sure?" he asked while staring at the pages until his Inner Eye received the answer.
"…So be it, if this is the Will of the Library than I shall obey, the four heroes will be the ones to answer the Mortal Girl's plea…but I want to make clear that I won't be held responsible of the results as I am merely the medium through which the act will be carried over…"
In the deep silence that followed the Librarian simply stood listening until he developed a small, satisfied smile.
"…Good, as long as we are clear," the old man said grabbing a page from each book and tearing away a perfect copy of it without removing the original or damaging the book in any way.
"Now go, your Master awaits! You have your powers, your abilities, your knowledge and equipment; use them at the best of your abilities and re-shape that world and the girl's destiny like only you can do, your Fate is now your own, guide it in the direction you all believe to be the best! I hereby permit you to pass over in that world, so mote it be." the old man said with a grave voice as he threw the four pages at the green portal opening in front of him as the words "Appear before ME!" went heard in the Library; as soon as the pages touched the misty energy the four things morphed into four humanoid shadows soon swallowed whole by the Magic that dissipated to nothing immediately after.
"Good, the young Mortal should be happy with her new Familiars, and I guess that receiving Four instead of one will be a nice surprise too." He said amused before returning to his table and feather to find a blank parchment waiting for him with only the words "The Four Knights of the Void" at its top.
Sigh! "I knew that in a way I would have paid the price for it…I hate writing two books at the same time," the Librarian sighed as he took a second feather and started writing on the two parchments at the same time.
The Gods truly had a strange way to punish Mortals in the Afterlife for their writing Fanfiction when alive; writing continuously for all eternity is as picky as a Superior Being could get without turning plainly childish.
What was the name he used to "wear" in those innocent times? Tre…Trem…something about earthquakes?
Surely it was a silly one, an embarrassing nick-name even!
With a last sigh the Librarian just left his hands and Inner Eye do all the work, as any good Vessel for the recordings of Reality had always done.
"…Something with 230 in it, maybe? No?..." Sigh! "I hate being old." He muttered in dismay.
Halkeginia – Tristain Academy of Magic – Summoning Grounds –
Louise Françoise Le Blanc De la Valliere…she sniffed in disdain at her own full name, even just reciting it in her head made her shoulders drop from the "weight" those words held, all the importance, the duties and meaning her own name held above her head, like a sharp sword continuously dangling above her held just by a spiderweb and ready to fall and end her at the slightest mistake.
And Brimir almighty did she collected failures and mistakes like they were cheap souvenirs! Although, in a sense she did not always fail, had she planned to make a glass explode instead of levitate, to make earth detonate instead of shaping itself into a ball or for water to spontaneously reach combustion instead of turning to ice then she would simply say she never failed once.
The other students called her "Louise the Zero" for her inability to cast Magic, even if by logic one could say that she DID cast Magic…unless chairs and other common objects are instead highly-unstable explosives and nobody ever told her; but calling her "Louise the Explosive" would have been too similar to a compliment for them to risk sounding supportive instead of the bunch of hypocritical assholes that she would have loved to hang by the balls (or toes in the girls' case) from the tallest Tow-
Chasing away the distracting thoughts from her head she cleared her mind for the task at hand, summoning an UBER AWESOME, KICK-ASS Familiar that will shame every other pathetic animals the others had already called, even Tabitha's fucking DRAGON! (That was a low blow of Brimir to her self-esteem by the way, she wished to add.) so to once and for all silence the nay-sayers, the bullies and miscreants composing the student body of Tristain Academy.
Sure, there was the risk she would just summon a majestic monster that may then go crazy and slaughter every single one of them before she could stop it and subdue the beast, but she certainly wouldn't rejoice at the gory, ungodly painful demise of her detractors…nor feel untold amount of pleasure at listening their screams of horror and pleas of mercy or…
"Miss Valliere?" Professor Colbert asked worried as the short, pink-haired girl left out a pleasure-filled moan from whatever day-dream she was in.
"Oh? S-sorry, Professor Colbert! I'll start right away!" Louise answered snapping back to reality before bowing an instant towards the balding professor making him chuckle.
"Go and summon an incredible Familiar, make them eat back their words," the man whispered amused while adjusting his glasses and wooden staff.
"I will!" she answered with a determined nod.
A different chanting, that was what she planned; the Standard one was too limited, and since her situation was indeed quite desperate (If she wanted to continue attending Tristain Academy SHE HAD TO summon a Familiar as to confirm that she could really wield Magic) she opted for a summoning spell with a wording concerning a more vast pool of choices and possibilities, even if by reflex it would have also sounded quite generic to an outsider unable to comprehend the difference.
"Generic Summoning," Tabitha, blue hair holding a wooden staff and with said Dragon Familiar standing beside her, muttered in her usual monotone.
"It's NOT generic! It's open to a more vast pool of choices in Familiars! I said so in my inner monologue too!" Louise answered as soon as she finished her chanting with a quite desperate-sounding 'Appear before me!' call.
"Still generic. And that was not Inner Monologue, but Exposition." the blue-haired girl answered uncaring.
"Tch! You Kuuderes can't understand those finesses," Louise answered.
"…Better Kuudere than Tsundere." Tabitha muttered with an almost bitter tone.
"Please be quiet! The Summoning Circle is lighting-up!" Colbert said harshly.
"I am more surprised it didn't explode…" Guiche muttered to himself.
The whole circle of runes was indeed pulsating in light and emitting low, dull thumping sounds resembling a heartbeat, to the students and professor's surprise the ring "Opened" into forming four copies of itself that then moved to form a line in front of the young girl.
"What in Brimir's name-" What Colbert was about to ask went unheard as with a synchronized quartet of deafening WHAM! Noises four shadows went shot up in the sky before rapidly fall back down towards the petite summoner.
"Four Familiars?" Kirche, a young woman with very generous curves and dark skin, said in surprise while pointing at the falling bodies.
"Four men." Tabitha added while watching up in the sky with her eyes slightly narrowed.
The first to land, cracking the floor as soon as his feet touched ground, was a young man in his twenties with platinum-blond hair so pale to almost seem white, with a charming smile and shining sapphire eyes and dressed in a strange pale-white jacket curiously the same colour of his hair (so much that the two couldn't be distinguished) over a red shirt so tight to underline his muscled chest, white pants and black shoes; he also sported a long scarf with two "tails" long enough to reach behind his knees with five metallic "claws" dangling from it giving it the aspect of hands.
Giving a cheerful smile and a wave of his hand he looked-up to the others rapidly approaching.
The second young man had silver-white hair shaved close on the back and sides leaving a 'crown' of hair on top, he had a slightly dark complexion, making Kirche wonder if he had Germanian origins like her, with a thick scar running over his right eye; his eyes were curiously covered by black glasses, with a golden jacket he wore open above a plain white shirt, brown pants and black shoes; he simply scanned the crowd and gave a sharp nod to the ones watching.
The third Familiar landed even too much gracefully, not even upsetting the grass with his steps, that and his mere presence seemed to make the other Familiars hiss/growl/click in self-defence while backing slightly away.
"Curious…" Colbert muttered with narrowed eyes as he gripped his staff until his knuckles turned white; the newly arrived young blond man with sapphire eyes was dressed with black robes, had sickly pale skin but at the same time bore a striking resemblance to the other three, bar the whiskers-like markings on the face of two lacking instead on the face of the first.
The balding professor could swear he saw a glimpse of smoke-made wings spring from behind the Familiar's back for an instant, but part of him wished it to be just a trick of the light.
"Huhuhuhu!" the black-dressed man laughed softly, sending shivers on the spine of the others.
The Fourth one that closed the group's arrival too landed with a crash, spiky blond hair and blue eyed as well, dressed in deep-green multi-pouches jacket over skin-tight shirt and dark-green pants with open sandals at his feet, he had a cloth-made mask covering the bottom half of his face. (Kakashi style, minus the gravity defying hair and implanted Sharingan).
All four of them had a huge scroll nearly as tall as they were strapped horizontally on their back.
"F-Four?" Louise stuttered with wide eyes.
"That is indeed surprising, especially since all four of them are humans," Colbert answered with a calculative look in his eyes.
"Uhm…" the Familiar with the black cloak muttered while looking at the assembled students and at the professor with narrowed eyes before turning towards the other three, asking something in a strange language the others seemed to understand since they immediately responded with nods and/or other positive gestures.
"Eh! Just the usual Zero! Not only she fails, but she even drags here four commoners to act as Familiars without even checking if they are able to speak our Language!" one of the students said from the back making the others start laughing.
"HOY!" The one with a darker skin growled in annoyance at seeing Louise's eyes start watering-up, glaring the others into silence from above his black glasses to show a pair of cold, blood-red eyes making the laughter die in an instant.
"Have you seen his eyes?" a girl muttered.
"Why they are red?" another boy whispered.
"Tch!" the red-eyed Familiar scoffed with a sneer.
Once the four had apparently finished talking the young man with black robes took a step forward, pointed at Colbert, then at his own tongue followed by his finger point at himself and the other three Familiars before shaking his head in the negative.
"Uhm! I guess he wants to tell us they don't speak our Language…" Colbert muttered.
"Can you do something, Professor?" Louise asked.
"A little, I can try a little translation spell, but we'll need Old Man Osmond to cast it again later, in that sort of things he is more proficient than me," the balding professor answered; he too pointed at his staff waving it a little, then at his own tongue and then at the four men, gaining a nod from the cloaked figure.
A Little chanting later and a faint glow surrounded the four men's heads before rapidly dying down.
"Can you understand us now?" Colbert asked.
"Better, yes." The cloaked Familiar answered with a pleased smile.
"Yep! It doesn't sound gibberish anymore! Thanks a lot!" the one with platinum hair said grinning.
"Eh! Nice trick," the dark-skinned one said chuckling.
"Thank you, I could have done the same for them myself, but my method wouldn't have worked on my own body." The masked one added with a little bow of his head.
"Why? If I can ask."
"Let's say that I have 'unconventional' abilities and leave it at that, to not spoil the surprise!" the other answered smirking.
"Enough pleasantries. As I asked for confirmation to the others I now have to ask you, was this a summoning ritual?" the cloaked Familiar asked.
"Yes, the traditional Familiar Summoning ritual of Tristain Academy, what of it?" Colbert asked with narrowed eyes.
"Then something went wrong, only one of us should have answered, not all four…what is the catalyst?" the black dressed man asked.
"Catalyst?"
"What will CLOSE the ritual and complete the bonding? The others have already been informed by me that we all risk losing our mind if the thing is not completed soon, and just like me neither of them want to turn into a vegetable with a fuming mass of grey goo for a brain just waiting to drip out from our ears," he answered.
"W-W-Would that really happen?" Louise asked horrified.
"In the worst case scenario, more likely they will just die from the shock…how do you know that?" Colbert answered.
"I know what I need to know to achieve my goals and gain whatever I need to survive…so? What is the Catalyst?" the Familiar answered uncaring.
"A kiss, but as you said she can't kiss all of you as the ritual will accept only ONE bonding chanting." The professor answered.
"I see…give me a moment," the cloaked figure said nodding before returning to talk in ushered voices with the other three, even the more accustomed in eavesdropping through Air Manipulation Spells couldn't gather info as they had returned to talk in their strange Language.
"…Good! I think we found a solution," the cloaked Familiar said.
"Which is?"
"We will join our hands with a "Special" thread connecting each hand to the others, the idea behind it is to 'share' the bond, our Will to do it should be enough together with the close contact…that and a slightly different chanting and the Summoner's own Will to take all four of us of course," he said with a pleased smile.
"How different?" Colbert asked.
"If it asks for the Familiar to accept the bond, just Willing it for four and wording it to have the Familiars, in plural, accept it should be enough…hopefully, it's our only idea at the moment."
"What do you mean with Special Thread?"
"One of you gentlemen or gentle-women should be so kind as to conjure it around our hands as a single piece instead of tying it, as a way to symbolize our unbreakable union as Familiars," the other answered.
"Simple enough. Miss Valliere?" Colbert said nodding as he waited for the four men to pile their left hands before conjuring a black thread tightly wrapping each hand to the others singularly before tying them together and then fusing the two extremities so to turn it into a single piece of fabric without ties.
"A-A-All four?" the petite girl said with wide eyes.
"All of them answered to your call at the same time, all four accepted their position as Familiars and personally, unless you want three of them on your conscience I would suggest you to accept…not that I wouldn't be forced to punish you should you refuse and kill even just one of them, the Ritual called them so technically you HAVE TO accept all four." The professor answered.
"I-I see…I will need then to kiss their hands?" she asked.
"Only the one on the top, the 'link' on their hands should hopefully share the bond between them and you as if they were a single entity."
"O-Okay…you four should feel honored to have a Noble such as me as a Master." Louise said glaring at the four Familiars.
"We are still four against one, girl…don't tempt fate." The dark-skinned one answered smirking, making the other three chuckle.
"Tch! Insolent dog." She said in disdain.
"Dogs bite, honey! So I would pay attention…unless you are into biting of course, then I am more than happy to oblige!" the platinum-haired one answered winking making the other students join in the laughing.
"P-P-P-PERVERT!" Louise shrieked with a very red face.
"And I am damn proud to be one!" he answered, making the masked one answer with a joyful 'Amen, Brother!' exclamation.
Grumbling between clenched teeth the petite witch completed the Ritual before tapping the hand at the top of the pile before kissing it, making the four hands' skin sizzle and smoke.
"OUCH! Dear God, Woman! Just for a joke?" the platinum-haired Familiar hissed while nursing his abused hand now free from the thread.
"Tch! What a pansy," the one with black glasses said snorting while looking at his hands curiously.
"Where is the marking? This sort of things usually end-up with a mark to symbolize the Bonding…" the cloaked Familiar asked.
"Your foreheads…and I guess mine too," the masked one answered.
"Runic alphabet…similar to the one I know and use, but then completely different at the same time."
"Fascinating," Colbert muttered as he rapidly jotted-down the markings for later study.
"Can you tell us how it works?" platinum hair asked with a whisper.
"It's not so hard as you others too should be able to help me, but yes." The pale Familiar answered.
"Now I need to choose a name for you four…" the girl said proudly, Four Familiars was very good in her book! Even if humans, even if commoners, they were FOUR!
"We already have names, thank you." The dark-skinned one said annoyed.
"Oh, really? What makes you think that I will let you keep them?" Louise asked with a challenging tone.
"I like your spunk, kid, you'll be a fun Master, but just so you know, the mind-controlling abilities of the Familiar Bonding of this Ritual won't work on us." The cloaked Familiar answered with a mellifluous, overly-gentle smile.
"In other words, even if we accepted to be your Familiars, we still retain our free Will, and can follow it into helping you AND putting everyone else into your hospitals without even feeling guilty about it," the masked Familiar answered calmly.
"You are commoners and we are Mages, you would have no chances," Louise answered sneering.
"Do not underestimate us, by the time your professor finishes chanting his first Spell I will have already torn-off his tongue. By the way, our names are a little problematic, but we found a solution to not create a mess." the dark-skinned Familiar said adjusting his glasses snorting.
"My name is Darko Namikaze, and I WILL turn your enemies into a red smear on the floor if you want, but that is also your own destiny if you think I'll be your little doggie." he then added, greatly amused by her pout.
"We'll see…" she answered smirking.
"Luis Umbra, baby! And I saw real witches and demons, so sorry, but I am not afraid of a bunch of hormonal teenagers and a retired soldier. Point me towards who makes you angry or hurt you and I will make sure they will run away screaming for their mommies to save them!" the platinum haired one added, making Colbert go wide-eyed at being found-out.
"Retired soldier?"
"Baron Shi is my name, give me the name of your enemy and Oblivion will be what they will invoke to escape my wrath…same goes for you if you try anything funny, I am no man slave." the cloaked Familiar said, ignoring the girl's question.
"You are a noble? A Baron?" Colbert asked.
"It's just a name by now, but I will turn it into a title soon enough now that I am here." He answered chuckling darkly.
"Yo! Naruto Namikaze here! not to offend, but you all are either pudgy or too skinny to properly fight, so once removed those wands it's easy to turn your bones to dust, so no, I don't think you all stand a chance against the four of us. Now that I am your Familiar you can sleep soundly, no-one will ever touch you and live to tell the tale." The masked Familiar said with a wave of his hand.
"Violence is not always the solution. But I am glad to see you all accept this bond so eagerly, I am sure Miss Valliere and you Four will work well together as Master and Familiars; contrary to the actual belief, a Familiar is a Companion, not a Slave. To have a Familiar means to have a friendly pair of eyes and ears helping the Mage in time of need, may it be during battle or in any every-day occurrence. You Four have not be called here to be mere animals or servants, but to work as helpers, body-guards and assistants for your young Master." Colbert explained.
"So in a more modern time the thing changed into 'Familiar equals an object to posses and abuse', is that what you mean?" Darko asked.
"I am sorry, but I can't deny nor confirm that," the professor said with a meaningful look.
"I see…" the other said nodding in understanding.
"Well, I do like their approach to their being my Familiars, and even if I still think that Commoners won't make nice guards even by hiding behind numbers, I'll be sure to find a use for them." Louise said smugly, already liking the 'spunk' her Familiars possessed, at least they were not weaklings without a spine.
"Strange men our Zero summoned, don't you think?" Kirche said smirking.
"Four Familiars. Dangerous." Tabitha said shaking her head.
"Uh?" the taller woman muttered looking down at her friend.
"He gives Humiliation," Tabitha said while pointing with her staff at Luis Umbra that was adjusting his scarf while humming to himself.
"He gives Pain," she then pointed at Darko that was glaring at the nearest coupe of students while polishing his glasses.
"He gives Defeat," the staff got pointed at Naruto taking momentarily off his face-mask to show whiskers markings on his cheeks similar to the other two.
"…He is Death." Tabitha said after a short pause as she pointed at Baron Shi, the latter smirking as if he heard her and giving a nod in return.
"You sure?" the buxom witch asked confused.
"Saw in their eyes and words. Deadly." the blue-haired girl answered before walking away.
"Very well! Now that the Spring Summoning Ritual is concluded, I say that we all can leave and continue with our own schedules, congratulations for your successes in summoning your Familiars, have good care of them and they will be always by your side, they now reflect you as you reflect them, remember this." Colbert said with a proud smile as he gave the students permission to leave.
At that the assembled students either walked away, flew by themselves or just like Tabitha they rode their Familiars back towards the school soon leaving the short girl and the Four boys alone.
"Gone?" Luis Umbra asked curious.
"No souls are nearby," Baron Shi answered shaking his head.
"Can't see a thing around us close enough to eavesdrop." Naruto added.
"Can't sense any Chi nearby," Darko said with his eyes closed.
"Chi?" Louise asked curious.
"Spiritual energy found inside every life form no matter how small, the technique I use it's called Lung Mei, it means Dragon Pulse. It's part of the things I can do...I am an Alchemist." He answered.
"An Alchemist?! So you can help me study then!" Louise said ecstatic.
"I can Teach you how to be one, from where I come from Alchemists not only prepare potions and concoctions, but we can use Transmutation to fight." Darko answered.
"So you are a mage? Transmutation is a magical art," she said with wide eyes.
"I wouldn't call it Magic as I don't require chanting for that, only scientific knowledge; my Grand Arcanum would then do the rest." The young man said pointing at the markings on his face and the ones hidden under the bandages around his arms the jacket was covering.
"You are not a mage? How can that be possible if you can do Transmutation?" she asked.
"Beats me, but I don't know. It's just how things work in my world."
"Do you really want me to believe that you four come from another world?"
"You are free to believe in what you want, but once saw our abilities I love to think you will change idea." he answered shrugging.
"Yep! Another world for me too, if you are still interested, I am the wizard here! Heir of the defunct Umbra Clan and badass fighter, you are already studying Magic on your own, so adding to that what Aunt Bayonetta and Mother Jeanne taught me won't be hard...well, probably finding some magic guns will be hard though." Luis said.
"So you are a noble?!" the girl said in horror.
"Depends on your point of view, I feel more like a common guy instead of a stuck-up brat, but I do know how to guide a country as I was studying to become the Leader of my Village." He answered.
"Konoha?" Darko asked curious.
"Nope! Rain Village! Hanzou-otousan taught me how to." He answered.
"Oh, Founder! I am so sorry to have kidnapped you!" Louise said bowing deeply, kidnapping an heir to be her Familiar will spell disasters for her family's name if the news became knew!
"Kidnapped? Girl I was proposed to be your Familiar and I accepted since I was told you needed help, it's not kidnapping if I am willing to follow." Luis answered immediately.
"Same for me, came here willingly myself too." Naruto answered.
"Me too," the others added nodding.
"And you two then? Who are you?" Louise asked.
"I was about to die when I was offered to come here in exchange and I took it, so here I am! Jounin of Konoha, it means I am a High-rank soldier of my birth Village, and widely knew as Jojo (since I was the youngest Jounin ever and so cheekily called "Junior Jounin"). Here's my Stand Companion Broken Arrow, how my powers work? think about something impossible to do and both me and him can do that and then some. I like to think of myself to be Over-Powered." The masked blond said as a tattered empty cloak appeared behind him to wave at the girl.
"So in a sense I saved you?"
"Pretty much, so I also have a debt towards you. What a better way to repay it if not by turning you into a fellow Badass OP warrior then?" he answered laughing.
"Tch! See to do that then! I can't go around saving everyone for free!" the girl answered smugly.
"And you?" she then asked looking at the last member of the quartet of Familiars.
"I think that the complete disclosure of my actual abilities may be too much, not everyone sees my Gift as something nice," Baron Shi said.
"Why?" Louise asked frowning.
"Miss Valliere, I was born with the gift of Necromancy...I am Baron Shi, once known as Naruto Namikaze myself before I donned the identity of the Man of Miracles 'Baron Shi'...I am a Necromancer; I deal, use and command the very forces of Death and everything related to it and the Spiritual Realm, but people can only see its Dark side, unable to comprehend the true nature of my gift…sorry to disappoint you." He answered.
"Don't worry….you are just…a blasphemous Familiar in the eyes of the Church of Brimir and someone going against everything I was taught to believe…what may go wrong in having a Necromancer as a Familiar?" Louise answered with a faint voice.
"You okay?" Darko asked worried.
"Just…going to lie-down for a moment…excuse me." she muttered before falling in a dead faint.
"Eh! That last thing got her." Luis said with a weak chuckle.
Sigh! "Help me drag her inside, the school should be that way. While we wait for her to wake-up we'll talk a little and know each-other better, since we are going to work together may as well be on good terms at least with one another." Naruto said as he hosted the girl on his back.
"It's going to be hard working as her Familiar in this place," Luis muttered sighing.
"It could have gone worse, the problem will be once she wakes up. Whoever got us here never said it would have been easy, only that we had been chosen because the only ones able to do this in a more efficient way than others." Baron Shi answered with a similar sigh.
Said that the Four Familiars slowly made their way towards Tristain Academy, talking to each other so to learn as much as possible about their lives before being summoned and their respective abilities and roles in that strange Bonding.
Soon Louise the Zero will learn to her awe how much her wish to have a powerful Familiar had been fulfilled by the coming of those four "Monsters" that had appeared before her and readily accepted their mark.
I decided to have them be "myozunitonirun" Familiars (Can use every Magical artifact and do Awesome Magic-related things? Or turns everything into a weapon? I don't remember.) instead of the Canon "Can Use every weapon" one of Saito simply because each "Naruto" is a full-trained Ninja with their own weapons of choice so they don't need "Help" with weapons, but I choose the four Versions with the most Magic-like powers so having something able to help them use the "Halkegian Version" of Magic as well felt more justified.
Darko is an Alchemist, Shi is a Necromancer, Luis is an Umbra Wizard (a male Bayonetta) and Naruto uses a Stand that can copy the "Canon" Stands that appears in the Manga...All of them...and the Stands can do pretty awesome things that ARE Magic in the end.
Luckily I recovered my sanity before I could post this as a proper story, I think of myself Lucky to have done that.
