You'll have to find out through reading. Disclaimer time!
(Disclaimer: I do not own Familiar of Zero or Kamen Rider Wizard. They both belong to their respective owners. I just own this story and my OC's)
Alright, time to ride cause...IT'S SHOWTIME!
CH 7: Elite Phantom, Unexpected Help, and the Ball(Again)
(Last Time)
"The 'Mage Killer'!"
"Now, is there anyone who will volunteer for this quest?"
"Medusa, I trust you to deal with this new Wizard?"
"The Staff of Destruction is a military rocket!"
"Not only is it fascinating that you can use magic, all four elements no less, but also in fact that you are the legendary familiar, Gandalfr who is a master of any weaponry."
"You should thank your luck and my imouto, Kyoko, for you would be magicless and dead by now."
"Aibou, look out!"
BOOOOOOOOOOM!
"No matter. I will still kill you."
"Medusa!"
(Cue Rising Hope by Lisa)
(Nigitta messeji that's Rising Hope!)There was a sudden flash of light and sparks and then, back-to-back, we see Haru and Kyoko.
(Hey, welcome to our special rising. Can you ressence that light? Here we go!)We then see Wizard riding on Dragon and with flick of his wrist, threw a magic circle which formed the title.
(Yuruganai sekai hijou na genjou tsudzuku kabe wa nanjuusou)We see Haru leaning on a wall with Derf right next to him. He then looks at his Flame Ring before balling his fist.
(Imeejidoori nanka janai shizuka ni sawagidashita honnou)The scene shifts to Kyoko who is at Louise's room staring at the sky before looking at her Please Ring and bringing it close to her face as if cuddling it since it came from her brother.
(Meiro mitai ikidomari nandemo shikou was distortion)The scene changes to Louise who is outside practicing her magic when it explodes.
(Youshanai ne itsu no ma ni miushinatteru to abaredasu)The dust clears to reveal a chared up Louise, but she shakes it off and tries again.
(Pay attention! Hey, what is it?)We then see Tabitha under a tree reading a book with her familiar next to her when she then turns to the screen as if she is looking at us.
(Watch your step now!)We then see Siesta carrying a tea set, but then trips on a rock.
(Joushiki nanka iranai)Then we see Henrietta at the castle balcony looking over the horizon.
(Are you serious? No, No, No, don't worry! 1, 2, 3, fukidasu shinzou no rizumu)We then see a child Haru reaching out his hand which grabs a child Kyoko's hand, before they turn back to teens with Haru placing the Please Ring on her finger.
(Shikai mada kuranderu sore demo ikanakucha)Scene then changes to Haru and Kyoko on a hill top looking at the sunset before they stare at each other.
(Kimi ga shiniteru boku o uragiru)Kyoko stares at Haru before smiling at him and hand him his Flame Ring.
(Wake ni ikani tsuyoko kurakushon ga naru)In quick motions, Haru puts on his Ring, places it on the Hand Author, then transforms into Kamen Rider Wizard with Derf becoming the WizarSwordGun. With sword raised, Wizard dashes off to face the enemy.
(Kodoku na mama took ga tattatte nigeru koto oboetatte)Scene shifts to Louise who is somewhere at the academy facing Ghouls. She then uses an explosion spell to blow them away.
(Atarashii kyou ga kichau kedo.) [I believe anymore.]Then we see Tabitha guarding an injured Kirche, before Professor Colbert came in and slammed his staff to the ground, igniting flames incinerating the ghouls that surrounded them.
(Kono negai tatoe mahou ga nakutatte)Scene shifts to Wizard somewhere fighting Phoenix. Phoenix throws a fireball, but Wizard slashes it away.
(Kanaenakya chikatta)We then see Kyoko spreading her arms and unleashing her unknown magic.
(Boku wa kimi to mada mitai mirai arunda yo.) [I sing my hope.]Then we have quick montages of Wizard and all of his different styles.
(Nakisou demo kuyashikutemo tomatteirarenai)Then we see Wizard walking through gates of the academy. In front of him is Kyoko, his sister, with Louise, Tabitha, Kirche, Guiche, Momtmorency, Siesta, and Porfessor Colbert, all of them smiling at him. He dehenshins and Haru smiles back.
(Nigitta messeji that's Rising Hope!)Haru then turns around to look at the screen like he's looking at us and raises his Flame Ring, smiling.
(Now)
"Medusa!?" I gasped.
I can't believe it. It's really Medusa, one of the Elite Phantoms! How is she here!?
"Wait, you know her!?" Louise asked.
"Do I know her!? She's one of the Elite Phantoms, of course I know her!" I gritted as I struggle getting up. I aim Derf at the Phantom. "How are you alive Medusa!? Fueki killed you on the spot, stabbed you in the back!"
Medusa glares at me. "I suggest you chose your words carefully, new Yubiwa no Mahoutsukai. Never bring up that name!"
Seems I hit a soft spot. Unfortunately, I don't have the energy to taunt and just focus on the current situation at hand. "You didn't answer my question. How are you here?"
"Hmph, I guess I can humor you." Medusa flicks her snakes like flicking hair before speaking. "It's true, I did die by the hands of that bastard, Fueki, but then, I, along with many more Phantoms, found myself in this new world that is just teeming with Gates. The only thing that stood out that day was that there was an eclipse, but that does not matter. As I've said, I am not the only one to have arrived here and now that Wiseman has been released from that bastard Fueki, we have all united under him in order to give birth to many more Phantoms."
An eclipse? Is she talking about when Fueki was attempting a second Sabbath in order to revive his daughter, Koyomi?
"Although, it makes me wonder something. How did you know how I died?"
I scoffed. "Woman, I'm not the only who knows how you died." It was then that I did have enough energy to taunt. "I was laughing when the person you were so dedicated to backstabbed you, literally.
What I said obviously angered Medusa as she summoned her specter, the Arrogant. "You've done it now, mahoutsukai!" She then charged towards me.
"Bring it on!" I switch Derf to sword mode and charge myself.
Our weapons clashed and we struggled for power a bit until Medusa kicked me away and then the snakes on her head extended and lunged at me. I slashed wide to make them stop but their reflexes were greater than I expected and soon they wrapped around me tight, suffocating me a bit.
"Now that I have you where I want you, be a good little ningen and die." Medusa then prepared a dark sphere with my name on it.
"Haru/Onii-chan!" The girls, even Tabitha surprisingly, shouted in worry.
"Saseru ka!" I shouted as I activated Reaper's power, a black aura surrounding me as Medusa's snake's backed off like they had touched fire and got burnt.
"Nani!?"
Once free, I quickly turn Derf into gun mode and the black aura around me transferred over to him.
"Again, this feels so weird!"
I then fire off, what I now dub, a Reaper Bullet. Basically, it's a sliver bullet encased with Reaper's aura, the same shot I used against Mott that took away his magic. Let's see how a Phantom handles this!
Sensing that my bullet was bad news, Medusa fired off her magic dark sphere(of doom) and an explosion occurred as both of our attacks collided. Wait a minute, wasn't the Reaper Bullet supposed to easily pass through Medusa's attack, not collide and explode with it?
'What's going on Reaper!?'
"In case you haven't figured it out, I only gave you my enough powers to destroy human magic, but I didn't give you enough of my powers to allow you to destroy Phantom magic."
'An you tell me this now!?'
"I thought you would have figured it out, guess I was wrong."
Oh how I so want to punch this guy right now.
Medusa stares at me in shock. "It can't be! This sick and twisted aura of magic, impossible! The traitor Grim Reaper!?"
'Wait a minute. Traitor, you're a traitor?'
"I was never one to follow orders. In fact, I never follow orders, no one tells me what to do. But apparently, they had to go and brand me a traitor when I didn't listen to Wiseman, kissasses, all of them. Well, except Dragon, probably the only thing good thing about him."
"Hey! I heard that!"
"You were supposed to!"
Huh, now that he mentions it, he's right! All the Phantoms are kissasses to Wiseman! How did I not notice this! Anyway, back to problem at hand.
"Yeah, Reaper's my Phantom." I said, switching Derf to sword mode and slipping on my Copy Ring.
"What!? But I thought Dragon was your Phantom!?"
"He is. I have two Phantoms inside of me." What I said surprised Medusa even more.
"Impossible!"
"Don't believe me? Then let me prove it to you!" I then open Derf's Hand Author and scanned the Copy Ring.
COPY! PLEASE!
Once that was done, the black Derf/WizarSwordGun appeared in my hand and it instantly gave out a creepy chuckle.
"OK, can you not be creepy for like one second?" I said to it.
Its response was another creepy chuckle.
"I don't think this guy's going to stop, aibou."
I decide to ignore my new sword being creepy and focus on the task at hand, which is scanning my ring over my sword's Hand Authors.
COME ON SLASH, SHAKE HANDS! COME ON SLASH, SHAKE HANDS!
WATER! SLASH STRIKE! SUI! SUI! SUI!
Instantly, water appeared and swirled around Derf while black water appeared and swirled around the black Derf. Then, I shout a battle cry before charging towards the Elite Phantom.
(With the girls)
The girls have never felt more worried than they have right now. Part of them , except for Tabitha, had thought Haru would always win any fight he would get into. He killed Mott, earning himself the title of 'Mage Killer', beat both Guiche's older brother and father, and any Phantom that came at him, yet right now, Seth was struggling for his life for the very first time.
Then, they were surprised at the black aura that just suddenly appeared around their foul-mouthed, magical friend, brother for Kyoko.
Then, when Haru was going for a double Water Slash Strike, they didn't know if was their imagination or not, but they could have sworn that when Haru charged towards the Elite Phantom, they saw a metallic Dragon and a very frightening clocked figure wielding a scythe.
Then, when both fighters collided, there was and explosion that almost blew them away. Once the dust cleared, they saw Haru back in his civilian form, battered, bloodied, and a bit burnt, while Medusa was a little banged up herself, but was doing way better than Haru.
"You pest!" Medusa extends her snakes again and they wrap around Haru, lifting him up into the air and suffocating him.
"HARU!" The girls called out in worry.
(Back with Haru)
"You should know better than to mess with your superiors." Medusa visor glows, sending out another snake and making it wrap around my neck, choking me.
"Haru!" The girls try to run over to me-
BOOM!
But Medusa sends a mini dark sphere to the ground in front of them, making them stop.
"I would move if I were you, unless you want you Wizard friend dead." Medusa threatened. "Then again, I am going to kill him anyway."
"You...!" Louise muttered, trembling with anger.
"Let go of onii-chan, you bitch!" Kyoko demanded.
"Hey! You...do not...use...that tone...of voice...when I...am...around...young lady!" I manage to get say. I may be foul mouthed, but I'm not about to let my precious imouto be the same. The snake choking me tightens to make me stop talking.
"Now then, where was I?" Medusa said before turning back to me. "Ah yes, you. Any last word before I kill you?" I wanted to spit in her face but he snake prevented me from do so. "Nothing? I must say, I expected more from you honestly. I wish we could play more but alas, I cannot take any chances. The risk of you reaching Haruto Souma's level is too great plus having the traitor as your Phantom just makes you an even bigger threat."
Medusa's visor glows again, charging up for her last attack that will surely kill me. So this is it? I'm going to die? Kind of Ironic since I have a Grim Reaper for a Phantom. I'm sorry Kyoko...Louise...minna.
"And now, die!"
"I don't think so!"
EXPLOSION! NOW!
WAIT, WHAT!?
A golden magic circle appeared right next to Medusa, similar to mines except that the gemstones were replaced with phases of the moon and the eye shapes in the center were different. The circle then exploded with the force of a bomb, sending Medusa flying and screaming in pain, forcing her to call off her snakes and making me fall but I didn't fall towards the hard ground.
YES! GRAVITY! UNDERSTAND?
Instead, I was floating, the gravity around me becoming zero as I was dropped onto the ground gently. Once I was done coughing and getting some air back into my lungs, I turn to see who my savior was and my eyes widen at what I saw.
"Bakana! Shiro...Mahoutsukai!" I wheezed out.
The Shiro Mahoutsukai lived up to it's name with white. Almost every inch of the suit was white with sliver ring holsters stretched across his sides, each ling holding a ring. On his shoulder, he sported a white mantle with gold lining running down to his back. His legs were covered with more white and gold fabric, giving the appearance of a robe like a classical wizard would wear. His boots and gloves were pure black, contrasting heavily with his suit. Wrapped around his waist was a WizarDriver like mines except the Hand Author was outlined in red rather than yellow. Finally, a majority of his helmet was covered in white plating like a hood. His face was an amber gemstone with silver eyepieces but his were slanted, making him a look more eerie.
This was the Shiro Mahoutsukai, that White Wizard, Kamen Rider Wiseman.
Now, while I am surprised to see the Shiro Mahoutsukai here, that wasn't what really surprised me. What really surprised me was that I wasn't seeing one Shiro Mahoutsuakai, I was seeing TWO Shiro Mahoutsukais! You heard me right, I said TWO! How do I know it's not just some copy from the Shiro Mahoutsukai? Well, one's obviously male while the other one's a female judging from the figure and curves, not to mention her G cup sized breasts.
"Who are they!?" Louise gasped.
"There are more Wizards like onii-chan!?" Kyoko gasped too.
Medusa coughed a bit before she got up, instantly glaring when her eyes landed on the male White Wizard. "You!" She then noticed female White Wizard. "What!? Two of you!?"
The male activated his WizarDriver and swiped his Explosion Ring.
EXPLOSION! NOW!
Another magic appeared, this time in front of her face as it exploded and sent her flying again.
"He caused an explosion!?" Louise gasped, probably interested since all she's been doing with her magic is making explosions.
The male White Wizard turns to the female one. "Look after those kids. I'll take care of this Phantom."
The female White Wizard nodded and ran over to us.
Medusa finally gets up and glares at the male White Wizard. "You'll pay for that!" She conjured up more dark spheres and aimed them at the male White Wizard. "DIE FUEKI!"
The male White Wizard just calmly switched his and flipped his Hand Author twice before scanning his ring.
BARRIER! NOW!
A golden magic circle appeared in front of him this time and blocked the attacks that harmlessly exploded upon contact.
"I'm sorry but I do not know this Fueki you speak of. I think my wife exploded some of your brain cells." Did he just insult Medusa? I think he did for Medusa yelled in rage, totally contradictory to her usual calm self as she charged towards the male White Wizard who took a fighting stance.
With the female White Wizard, she came running up to us. "Is everyone OK?"
Everyone except Tabitha was too busy watching the male White Wizard fighting the Elite Phantom to answer so I answered for them. "Well, besides me, we're all OK."
The female White Wizard turned to the girls that were too busy watching the fight.
"I know watching my husband is fascinating and all but may you please avert your eyes away from him before I blow you all to kingdom come." The female White Wizard threatened as a purple aura formed around her, making the girls instantly turn to her.
'Scary.' I thought.
The female White Wizard seemed to have just dismissed the aura and turned to me. "Now for you." She then slipped on a ring and flipped her Hand Author twice before scanning her ring.
FIRST AID! NOW!
The female White Wizard then places her hand over me as a green glow appeared around me and...healed my wounds!
"Whoa!" Once the glow was gone, I looked at myself and found no injures.
Everyone was amazed for they have never have seen magic like that before.
"Sugoi!" Kyoko said with stars in her eyes.
I look back to the male White Wizard to see him block a swipe to his head before kicking Medusa away and switching to a different ring.
CONNECT! NOW!
Anpther golden magic circle appears next to him as he wasted no time sticking his hand in as another magic circle appeared next to Derf as his hand popped out from the other circle.
"You don't mind if I use this you, do you?" The Male White Wizard asked.
"Wait, what?" Derf didn't get to say more as he was dragged into the magic circle and appearing in the male White Wizard's hand as the Hamel Cane.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa! Hold it! Am I flute and some kind of spear!?"
The male White Wizard didn't have time to answer as more dark sphere were heading his way so he brought the now Derf turned Hamel Cane to where his lips would be and played what was very close to the Naruto main theme as the dark sphere were blocked by, and I can't believe I'm saying this, the power of music. With no mre things coming at him, the male White Wizard charges towards Medusa and clashes his weapon, well technically my weapon, against Medusa's weapon.
I then hear the sound of something being lifted and turn to the female White Wizard lifting up a huge remain of Fonquet's Golem with one hand, god damn! The other girls saw this too and their eyes nearly flew out of their sockets.
"Honey, in coming!" The female calls out to her husband before throwing the huge piece of land towards the two fighters.
Noticing the huge piece of earth heading their way, both fighters break out of their deadlock and move out of the way as the huge piece of earth crashed onto the spot where bother fighters were just minutes ago.
The male White Wizard angrily turns towards his wife. "Oi! I thought I told you to warn me before you do shit like that!"
"But I did warn you." The female White Wizard said innocently.
"That's not the point!" The male White Wizard said.
"Gomen'nasai anata, I've been a bad girl. Please punish me." What she said made us all froze. What did she mean by that and did she just speak Japanese?
"No, no, no! We are not doing that again!" Male White Wizard quickly denies to what female is suggesting. "I think we've scared ourselves enough already."
"Ahh, but I love it when you-" But before she could say anymore, the male White Wizard quickly placed a hand over where her mouth would be.
"Not in front of the kids!"
"Oh, sorry" The female White Wizard then stopped talking about what ever she was talking about. Seriously, what are they talking about!?
We then see Medusa getting up and glares at all of us, mostly on the two White Wizards.
"Grr...don't think you've won, I'll be back!" Medusa then runs away.
"Hey, get back here!" Louise shouted but it was no use.
After awhile, we all looked at the two new Mahoutsukais and they vice versa. One Shiro Mahoutsukai, that's a surprise, but TWO!? That takes the cake.
The female White Wizard looked like she was going to do something but the male White Wizard quickly grabbed her shoulder prompting her to look at him as he shakes his head. He then looks at us, me more specifically and stabs his Hamel Cane to the ground and the minute he lets go of it, it turns back into Derf's original form.
The male White Wizard then turns around and I couldn't help but notice that he did this as if he's trying not to look at us. "We're leaving."
"Hai." The female White Wizard said, giving us one last look before going over to the male White Wizard's side as he slipped on a Teleport Ring.
TELEPORT! NOW!
They then vanished in a flash of light, leaving nothing behind.
We all stood in silence before Kirche broke it. "What just happened?"
Medusa is seen staggering forward into the cave, still recovering from the male White Wizard's attacks.
"Damn that Shiro Mahoutsukai! Fueki or not, he will pay for what he did to me!" Medusa seethed, laying against a wall.
Neptune sees her condition and runs over to her. "Medusa, are you alright!?" Neptune offers hand, but Medusa slaps it away.
"Keep your sympathy to yourself!" Medusa snapped before getting up and staggering towards Wiseman's resting place.
"Your report?" Wiseman asked, wanting to know what happened.
Medusa bowed before speaking. "Sumimasen Wiseman-sama, but I was unable to kill the new mahoutsikai."
"Can you please explain how you failed?" Wiseman asked.
Medusa nodded before speaking. "Just as I was about to destroy the new mahoutsukai, the Shiro Mahoutsikai appeared."
"Nani!?" Neptune gasped in surprise.
Wiseman was also surprised but he chose to remain silent.
"Was it Fueki that interfered with you?"
Medusa shook her head. "Sadly, it was not."
"I see."
"But that is not all." Both Phantoms turned their attention back to her. "It was not just the Shiro Mahoutsikai that interfered with me, but there was a second Shiro Mahoutsikai with him, a female."
"Nani!?" Now this information surprised Wiseman.
"Wait, you're saying that there's a second Shiro Mahoutsukai?" Neptune asked.
Again, Medusa nods. "Yes, but that is not all. I have discovered that not only does this new mahoutsukai have Dragon within him but he also possess the traitor, Grim Reaper as his Phantom."
Now this greatly surprised everyone in the cave.
"Impossible! You can't be serious!" Neptune said.
"I wish, but there is no mistaking that dark magic anywhere. It's him." Medusa said.
Wiseman was thinking for a moment before he spoke up. "Thank you Medusa. This information will serve us well. You two are dismissed."
Both Phantoms bow before leaving Wiseman to himself.
(Headmaster's Office)
"After that, the both of them left." I said, finishing up the events of Fonquet's capture, the encounter of Medusa, and the surprise assistance of the two Shiro Mahoutsukais. Currently, Me, Louise, and Kyoko were the only ones here with Osmond and Colbert.
"I see." Osmond said, sad that Longueville was Fonquet this whole time.
"To think, there are more Wizards like you out there." Colbert said, amazed that there were Wizards like me out there.
"There's a couple of more questions I like to ask you." I said.
"What do you want to know?" Osmond asked.
I decide to be blunt. "During the fight with Fonquet, she called me a Gandalfr, a legendary familiar to this Brimir guy you all worship. Care to explain?"
Osmond frowned and got serious. "So you know..."
I nod. "Plus the little fact that Louise here is a Void Mage."
"Why didn't you say anything?" Louise asked.
Osmond seemed to slump slightly in his seat, no longer acting like his usual perverted self. "It is no secret that the power of the Void is the foundation of our religion, thus making it holy in our eyes. Would anyone have believed us if we just outright said that we rediscovered the considered lost element inside Miss Vallière?"
If he put is like that, he has a point.
"There are no outward signs of Void magic, not to mention the risk of blasphemy in trying to imitate it, do you realize what would happen if Miss Vallière was indeed a Void Mage?" Osmond asked.
"Is Void magic really that powerful?" Kyoko asked.
"You have no idea..." Osmond said ominously.
"I think I'm getting what you're trying to say." I said, seeing what the old mage was trying to tell us. The Void is incredibly powerful on it's own, Louise's explosions were proof of that. Being the center of Halkeginia's religion, it would cause a storm of unwanted people wanting to either take advantage of Louise for political reasons or use her as a figurehead for someone's ambition, stating it as 'divine will' that it be carried out. Louise is just a teenager that's still getting education and if words get out, she'll get swamped with people playing tug of war with her and considering how explosive she is, no pun intended, it would make nay situation worse.
"That is why her magic must be kept secret at all costs! No matter what." Osmond said. "If words gets out then I fear it would be the end of the world as we know it."
"Wha!?" Louise gasped "Headmaster, surely it can't be that bad!"
Kyoko nodded. "It can't possibly be that bad."
"No, he has a point you two." I said, frowning. "If word gets out that Void magic has returned, then everyone will be trying to use you, Louise, for political or personal gains. People backed up by royal families would stop at nothing to get you into their hands. The military could use your powers as a super weapon to wipe out their enemies or even try to conquer other nations. People against Henrietta and her mother would want to use you to overthrow them for their own gains. Heck, I bet even some really brave common folks with a rebellious spirit would try to convince you to overthrow the current system since it mistreats them very badly. Although, I will admit I would like it if the current system would just get blown and thrown to hell." Everyone was surprised by my comment. "Anyway, my point is that this is just in Tristain. Think what would happen if the other nations come after you. It would not be pretty."
Both girls slump, seeing my point.
"As for my last question." I said, turning to Osmond. "It's about the Staff of Destruction. It's actually a rocket launcher, a weapon from me and Kyoko's world."
"Really!?" Both Osmond and Colbert were surprised.
I nod. "I would like to know how a dangerous weapon like that got here."
Osmond sits up straight before speaking. "I can't tell you much. I found it during my youth. You see, I was fighting a dragon and was almost nearly killed when out of the blue this...explosive projectile hit the beast, killing it in an instant. I had never seen anything like it. I looked towards where the projectile came from and saw a strange man dressed in a green uniform wielding a second staff. He was wounded and I couldn't understand a word he said." Osmond sighed before continuing. "He died not long after and he had an unused staff with him. Out of respect for saving me, we buried him and sealed the second staff here where it couldn't be misused."
"A man in a green uniform?" I said. Sounds like he ran into a soldier, probably from a war if he was wounded. "How long ago was this?"
"About thirty or forty ago if I'm correct."
"I see." I said, trying to think of any wars thirty or forty years ago.
"I apologize if I wasn't much help on the subject." Osmond apologized.
I waved it off. "It's okay."
Colbert then brought up some good news. "Oh! I almost forgot. With the Fonquet incident now over, the ball is back on track." Well, good news for the girls.
"Quick Louise! If we hurry, we can fix our dresses before the ball!" Kyoko said before running out of the room.
"Hey! Wait for me!" Louise soon follows.
All us guys just laugh a bit.
(Ball of Frigg)
It was now nighttime and the Ball of Frigg was in full swing, again. Students were either dancing or just talking, again. The teachers were talking amongst themselves, again. Kirche was surrounded by men, again. Tabitha was eating a hamburger, again. Guiche was flirting with women before being pulled away by Montmorency, again. And Henrietta was up sitting on top of a throne, again. It's pretty much the same thing except with no thieves or Phantoms interrupting this time.
I was currently outside on the balcony eating some food with a glass of water in a wine glass, Derf next to me laying against the railing. My Takuto's Galatic Pretty Boy outfit was still a bit damaged so I chose the only clothing I haven't used yet to wear. I was now garbed in badass Code Geass Zero outfit and I don't men to brag but I look awesome in this. The helmet was laying next to Derf on the railing.
"You know, if people see you looking that sharp, they're instantly going to assume that your a noble."
"If that does happen then I'll say that I'm not a noble. If they don't listen, then I'm going to point you at them." I said, eating one of my mini sausages.
"You never waste a breath, do you aibou?"
"No I do not." I replied, taking a sip of my water.
"The third daughter of Duke of La Vallière, Louise Francoise de Blanc de la Vallière arrives!" The guards at the door notified everyone of Louise's arrival.
I turn to see the guards opening the door to let Louise and Kyoko enter, both of their dresses now fixed and good as new. The guards didn't bother to announce Kyoko for she wasn't even a noble but they allowed her to enter thanks to Henrietta.
They were then besieged by a large number of guys, praising their beauty and asking them for dance. Kyoko just smiled innocently at the compliments while Louise lost her dignified look and seemed flustered at the sudden attention. I can understand why. Up till now, she's been treated as nothing but a zero and with all this praise and attention, even I can say it's surprising.
They politely declined each invitation to dance, but these guys were persistent, pushing them more and more. I then saw one guy reaching towards my sister and acted immediately by grabbing my knife and throwing it near the boy where it embedded itself into the wall right next to him. All the boys quickly backed off and looked angrily towards the one who threw the knife, only to meet me. They instantly became afraid and ran away like the spineless pricks they are.
The girls looked thankful and they made their way towards me.
"You two are looking beautiful." I complimented.
The girls blushed at my compliment and then were...awestruck by me? Must be the outfit.
"Onii-chan, you look amazing!"
I smiled. "Why thank you."
"So, what are you doing out here?" Louise asked. "Aren't you going to join the party?"
"Nah, these kinds of things really don't interest me that much." I said. I then noticed that Louise looked like she had something on her mind. "Louise, is something the matter?"
"Huh?" Louise said, snapping out of it.
"You look like you have something on your mind." I said.
"Is it about what Mr. Osmond said?" Kyoko asked.
"Yeah." Louise quietly admitted. "I mean, I finally learn that I have real magic, that I'm not just a zero...and yet, I can't tell anyone about it. Not the students, not the teachers, not even my own family..."
"Louise..." Kyoko said in a worried tone.
"Now that I know that I have this power, I'm scared to use it." Louise looks at her hands as if she was seeing something unknown in them. "I don't know what to do now."
"You can start by holding your head up high." I said, making her stop looking at her hands and looking up at me. "And second, don't worry about it. If this Brimir guy did it, I'm sure you can do it too."
"But what if I can't? What if I'm not worthy to cast such magic?" Louise doubted.
I raised my hand and flicked her forehead.
"Ow!" Louise places both hands on where I flicked and glares at me. "What was that for!?"
"Don't doubt yourself. The minute you doubt yourself then that's when things are all over." I said seriously, making both girls pay attention to me. "Listen Louise, you don't have to be great to do great things. Never let anyone tell you what to do in order to meet their expectations. Just be yourself. Even the smallest action can have a big impact in the future. And don't worry about anyone who would want to use you, I'll make sure to protect you."
"Haru.."
"Well, Kyoko comes first, but I'm still going to protect you." I added.
"Geez, thanks for the support." Louise said.
"Don't mention it."
Kyoko just giggles at us.
"You all seem to be having fun out here."
We all turn to see none other Henrietta herself.
"Princess Henrietta!?" Both Louise and Kyoko gasped before quickly bowing.
"Raise you two. You don't need to bow to me." Henrietta said, looking a bit uneasy. She then turns to me and her eyes widen a bit. "My, Haru, you look dazzling! I almost mistook you for someone from the royal family."
"Why thank you, Henrietta." I said. Louise glared at me for speaking to her so naturally but Henrietta didn't seemed bothered so I ignored it.
Louise and Kyoko finally get up and Louise asks. "Your Highness, what are you doing here? Shouldn't you be up on your throne and watching the party?"
Henrietta chuckles before answering. "Well, just seeing everyone having so much fun, I couldn't help but want to join. I also wanted to congratulate you on winning the Exhibition and for capturing Fonquet."
Louise blushes at the praise. "It was nothing!" She then gestures to me. "My familiar here did all the work."
"It was nothing really." I said.
"Well, I still would like to thank you for a job well done and for putting on such a spectacular show." Henrietta said with a smile. "I've never seen anything like it and I've never felt so welcomed before."
From her mention of my performance an idea pops into my head. This is a party right? I might as well enjoy it and spice it up.
"If you think that was good, then you haven't seen anything yet." I take off my cape and place it next to Derf. "Watch my cape."
"You got it aibou."
I then walk out of the balcony and the girls follow, curious of what I was planning. I walk to the musicians and ask them if I can borrow their instruments which they agreed.
"Onii-chan, what are you planning to do with all these instruments?" My imouto asked.
"You'll see." I said. I then turn to all of the students. "Attention everyone!" Everyone stopped what they were doing and turned to me. "Thank you. Now. I hope your all enjoying this Ball tonight. If you are, then please allow me to entertain you all with a song."
I then got out my Copy Ring and summoned enough clones so that there was one for each instrument.
"Haru, what are doing?" Louise asked.
"If you must know...hit it boys!" I shouted.

The music starts and I walk up to Henrietta, grabbing her hand. "May I have this dance, ohime-sama?"
"Eh?" SHe didn't get to say more as I pulled her in close and started to sing.
"Mitsumeau sono shisen tojita sekai no naka." Henrietta blushes from the closeness of the two of us and I will admit that she was pretty cute right now. "Kidzukanai furi wo shitemo yoi wo satoraresou."
"Hey! Unhand her you dog!" Louise shouts.
"I'm not a dog, I'm a Wizard." I said back.
"Yaketsuku kono kokoro." I twirl Henrietta and let her go, going for my next target, Tabitha. I reached out and brought her to the dance floor. "Kakushite chikadzuite." There was nothing but surprise on Tabitha's face. I can't blame her, I did just suddenly bring her here to dance but I'm not stopping cause right now, I'm having lots of fun. "Toiki kanjireba shibireru hodo." Tabitha's eyes widen, probably understanding a bit of what I'm saying.
I then let go of her and look at her and Henrietta.
"Alright girls, do exactly as I do and that includes you too Tabitha, or else, you won't be reading any manga from me."
That seemed enough of a good push to get Tabitha dancing with me.
"Arifureta koigokoro ni ima wana wo shikakete wazuka na sukima ni mo ashiato nokosanai yo."
I then stopped dancing and turned to everyone. "If anyone would like to join, please step up."
No one did anything until Kyoko stepped up.
"Let me join, onii-chan."
I smile. "Anyone's welcomed to join."
She offers her hand to me which I accept while Henrietta and Tabitha step back as we danced.
"Miesuita kotoba da to kimi wa yudan shiteru yoku shitta gekiyaku nara nomihoseru ki ga shita."
"Unhand her you...siscon!" Louise shouted.
"I'm not a siscon!" I yell back.
"Keep telling yourself that."
'Shut up Dragon, I'm trying to sing here.'
"Sabitsuku kusari kara nogareru atemo nai hibiku byoushin ni aragau hodo."
This is where the song gets a little...dirty.
"Tatoeba fukai shigemi no naka suberi komasete tsunaida ase no kaori tada okasaresou."
I then separate from Kyoko and meet face to face with Henrietta once again ho offered a hand which I took as we danced. Soon after that, students started to join, about time. After dancing with Henrietta, I went to Tabitha who was trying to escape the dance floor, but I stopped her and we danced as now everyone was dancing along. I haven't had this much fun in a long time. I then soon switched to Kyoko and time seemed to slow down for the both of us but that could be just the music
"Arifureta koigokoro ni ima wana wo shikakeru wazuka na sukima nozokeba tsukamaete!"
Getting ready for the big finale, I let go of Kyoko and dance alone with everyone, and I mean EVERYONE, following me.
"Tatoeba fukai shigemi no naka suberi komasete tsunaida ase no kaori ni tada okasareteru."
I end the song with me sitting on a very comfoutable chair while everyone strikes a pose with their dance partners and my copies disappear.
(Song End)
I look at everyone, exhausted by the amount of dancing they did. Guiche and Montmorency seemed to be enjoying themselves, Kirche was talking to Tabitha about something while the bluenette ignored her and went to go finish her...15th burger? Dang, that girl can eat.
Henrietta come running up to me with a very big smile on her face. "Haru, that was amazing!"
I smirk. "Glad you enjoyed yourself."
"Haru!" Me and Henrietta look to see Louise who's glaring angrily. "Get out of her Highness' throne!"
I blink and look down to see that I was sitting on Henrietta's throne. Guess that explains why I'm so comfortable right now.
"You have a very comfortable chair." I said to Henrietta as I switched to sitting in the throne sideways.
"Haru! That is not how you sit in a chair!" Louise shouted.
Henrietta giggles as I ignore Louise as I looked towards Kyoko who was trying to calm down Louise.
"Oh darling~!"
Oh shit! That voice! I turn to see Kirche making her way towards me.
"Gotta go!" I said quickly before getting out my Teleport Ring, getting the heck out of here.
TELEPORT! PLEASE!
"Send a message anytime you want to talk." I said to the princess.
"I think I'll do that." Henrietta said before I teleported away.
Flashes of light later, I was back at the balcony again.
"Yo aibou! How was the Ball?"
"A thing." I simply said, putting back on my cape and grabbing my glass of water and stare up at the two moons.
And done! Not much of a chapter but this is what you get people. I'm probably losing my edge since I haven't done this story in awhile. Anyway, thanks for reading and hoped you liked it. I bet you were all surprised when I introduced TWO Shiro Mahoutsukais. How will things play out now that they're here? You'll just have to wait.
Until then, this has been Ashbel Longhart here, signing out. Till next ride.
