A/N: HI READER
So here we are for chapter 2 of the W story. This is the staple 'explain everything' kinda chapter, also the first fight against a Dopant.
Well then time to go.
CYCLONE-JOKER!
Chapter 2: A Do-what now?
So it didn't take too long for Louise to find a good seat for the twins to explain what just happened. Of course Siesta would sever up some tea, but only because she wanted to listen in about it.
"Okay, I'm gonna ask once. How the hell did you do that?" Louise asked, though it was kinda obvious she was fuelled with curiosity.
"Well, we used these." Tyler said as he placed the W Driver on the table as well as his three Memoires, Mari adding her three as well. "This is our W Driver, and these six are Gaia Memories."
"Wait time out! Give us a sec!" Mari interrupted and stood up, dragging Tyler a good distance away. "What are you doing?"
"What do you mean? I was about to explain to them about the Driver and Memoires." He answered, confused at his sister's behaviour.
"And what, you're gonna tell them the plot of the show? Come on Ty that's just stupid." She whispered.
"Well what do we tell them, that they were toys turned weapons?!" He whispered back.
"Okay, we use the whole magic thing they have here. Follow my lead." The two walked back and were seated. "To keep this short, they're magical artefacts."
"Um…that's not how it works. Magical artefacts are nothing like those things you've used, they're far too advance." Louise immediately crushed Mari's excuse.
"Whelp, your turn to explain Bro." She gave up and kicked her legs onto the table.
"Ho okay. Here we go." He sighed. "These little things are Gaia Memories; they are devices made in our hometown that contains the planet's knowledge of what it represents." He explained which left the Nobel speechless.
"All knowledge? B-b-but how are they made?"
"No one truly knows. But they were quickly dismissed for their immense power, so a certain family began to sell them in the Black Market after they found a new kind of function." Mari added.
"What function?" Siesta stopped eavesdropping and just full on stood next to the table.
"Whenever a Memory would be injected into a human's body, they would morph into a devastating monster called a Dopant." Tyler said, which made Louise and Siesta's eyes widen.
"Magic that can turn you into a monster?!" Louise gasped. "Wait, so since you can use those things are you capable of using magic?"
"Nope." The twins answered at the same time.
"But if you don't have magic, how can you use the Memoires?" Louise frowned. "You'd need to have even a small sample of magic to use items like that."
"Well as far as our understanding goes, the Driver as well as Memoires work on their own type of magic." Mari chipped in as she took her legs off the table. "It what allows us to wear that armour."
"Oh." Louise blinked, and believed all their bullshit. "One last question then."
"Go on."
"Why not just make two Drivers and have two Riders?" She pointed at the Memoires. "Then you wouldn't have to share them."
"Well it's called W for a reason; it needs two people in one." Mari said as if it were so obvious.
"The only real way to use one Gaia Memory at a time is with a Lost Driver, but those are hard to come by." Tyler added.
"To think, such power is hidden within these devices." Siesta blinked in wonder at the Gaia Memoires in front of her.
'She has no idea.' The twins thought at the same time.
"I was made a mockery, by Commoners no less!" Guiche sobbed to himself as he sat in a crack between two buildings. "I'm ruined!"
"Is it revenge you seek?" A voice said from somewhere in the dark of the crack.
"Who's there?" Guiche stood up and searched within. "I'm warning you!"
"Oh but there is no fear to be had little one." The same voice said. Guiche squinted his eyes and could barely see the outline of a human within. "I bring a gift from great ones to you."
From the shadows came a gloved hand coated with knightly armour. The hand opened up to reveal a Gaia Memory, but this one was different; this one was more jagged and grotesque. The letter on it was a power drill with sparks making the rounded part of the D.
"This is a Gaia Memory child; you will gain great power as you let it flow through you. Take it!" The voice urged, but Guiche looked disgusted by the Memory.
"I will not use the same cheating magic as those filthy Commoners!" He huffed as he began to leave the crack, if not for being grabbed by his arm and dragged into a choke hold.
"You dare to speak ill of this gift?!" The voice pulled up Guiche's cleave and raised the Memory. "You will accept this power!"
DRILL!
Some kind of strange patter appeared on Guiche's skin as the Earth Mage could only let out strained grunts.
The shadowed man placed the Memory into the strange pattern as it was absorbed inside him. Guiche's eyes went wide as he let out a muffled scream.
The next day had come and classes had now come back into session. The twins finally got beds as a 'reward' for proving to be good Familiars.
Still she had made them follow her to class so she could 'keep an eye on them' as she put it. Even though it was such a beautiful day, they were stuck inside learning Earth Magic.
The teacher was an older woman with the typical witch attire consisting of a purple robe and a same coloured witch hat.
"Huh, this actually seems like a school we'd like." Tyler quietly chuckled.
"Why are you listening? You can't even do Magic." Louise slightly frowned.
"Doesn't mean I can't be interested." He grumbled and leaned his head on his hand with a huff.
"Psst, don't look now, but I think that red head is tryna show her underskirt to you." Mari whispered which perked Tyler up. "Behind."
Tyler looked around slightly behind him to see Kirche's skirt lifted up to show the smallest piece of upskirt. This made the Fire Mage smirk as Tyler spun back around and crushed his eyes shut.
"Jesus! What is with the way she's dressed?!" He hiss-whispered. "She's dressed like some kinda school slut or something." That only made Mari giggle.
"Is there a problem with your Familiar Ms Valliere?" Professor Chevreuse spoke up, eyeing the twins.
"Uh…" Louise gulped. "No ma'am."
"Good, then I hope you don't mind giving us a demonstration." The teacher pointed at some small rocks on the table. "Please transmute these to glass if you would."
As the pinkette began to make her way down to the table, Kirche stood up and waved her arms to get the teacher's attention.
"Um, Professor Chevreuse! You really shouldn't ha have had Louise do that! She's-!"
"If I hear one more 'Zero' from anyone again I will stuff their mouths with clay." The aged woman warned, which simmered down the students. "If you please Ms Valliere."
Louise nodded and took out her wand and began to chant the spell. The twins 'oohed' as they saw the rocks start to glow.
"Hey, you two!" The twins looked to the voice to see that Kirche and the rest of the students had made a barrier out of the desks. "You might wanna take cover behind something before it explodes."
"Huh, whaddya mean?" Mari asked.
"Any time she tries to cast a spell it always ends in an explosion!" Montmorency explained before ducking back down.
"Aw come on, how bad could it be?" Tyler waved off before the entire classroom was engulphed by a huge smoke cloud caused by Louise's explosion.
"*Cough! Cough!* Wow, you were not kidding!" Tyler coughed out as much smoke as he could. He picked up his fallen fedora and shook some soot off it.
"This always happens." Kirche huffed as she wiped the dust off her uniform. "No matter what spell she tries to cast it always ends with it blowing up in her face."
Petite coughs caught their attention as Louise emerged from the smoke, her clothes torn and covered in soot. She got up much faster than the others as well.
"She's probably gotten use to the while blow up thing." Mari guess, which Tyler nodded.
"I guess I made a little mistake again." She sighed, trying to not let the destruction of the class bother her. Instead she just took out a handkerchief and began to wipe the soot off.
"You call that a mistake?!" One of the students cried out.
"Get a grip on reality and just give up already!" Another one shouted. "Your success rate is always zero, that's why people call you Louise the Zero!"
All the students left with either giving harsh looks or harsh words at Louise. The pinkette only looked down as she walked over to a broom closet like it was a normal thing and took out a mop and bucket.
"Need a hand?" She was surprised as the twins also grabbed some mops as well.
"Um, well you should be helping me anyway. I am your master after all!" Louise huffed as she walked away to begin cleaning, the twins followed as they shook their heads.
"Can you believe how badly Guiche got beaten in that duel?" A student sneered as he and another walked through Vestri Court.
"I know, and he was beaten by a pair of Commoners I hear. Pathetic." The other chuckled. "Anyway, you want to head to the lunch hall for a bite?"
"I'm afraid I mustn't, I have some work to catch up on." The other declined as the two began to part, if not for a rumble in the ground coming to them. From underneath one of the students some of the dirt kicked up as something dragged him underneath. The other student's eyes widened as a small dirt mound was coming towards him.
He ran as it seemed to speed up until it burrowed deeper. He stopped and took out his wand as he surveyed around the field.
"Don't mock me!"
A rumble was heard beneath him as a freakish yellow arm reached out of the grass and dragged him underground screaming.
"OH NOW WE'RE LATE FOR LUNCH!" Louise dreaded as she speed-walked to the cafeteria with the twins taking their time leisurely.
"Now I feel bad for those guys that had to sweep the chimneys in Marry Poppins, soot is hard to clean." Mari complained as she wiped the last bit off her face.
"What are you complaining about? You're the one who took 'minor' breaks." Tyler shot at her, which only got him punched in the arm. "Ow! Prick!"
He punched back as the two got into a slap fight against each other.
"Hey you two! Stop that!" Louise ordered, and when they didn't listen she growled.
"Ah, Ms Valliere!" The sudden voice stopped the twins' fight as they saw Professor Colbert walk up to them.
"Oh Professor Colbert." Louise greeted respectfully.
"I was hoping to catch up to you and your Familiar." The teacher smiled. "I was hoping that I would have a proper look at you Familiars' runes again. I'm interested ever since the duel that happened yesterday."
"What, these things?" Tyler asked as he and his sister held up their hands to show the markings.
"Yes, yes." He took out a notebook and jotted down some notes. "I just have a feeling that you might've summoned something special and after yesterday's antics that theory might be right." He completed his sketch and put his book away. "I'll be sure to let you know about these markings after I decipher it." With a friendly wave, he left.
"Huh, he's a nice guy." Tyler commented.
"I suppose, he was always a nice teacher." Louise shrugged. "Now let's get moving!"
"Yes ma'am." They both said with bored tones.
"Honestly I heard the look on his face was priceless after those Familiars showed him his place!" Two girls giggled as they just couldn't get over the rumours they heard about a Noble getting beat downed by some Commoners.
"I know! I heard that his Valkyries stood no chance!" They burst into full on laughter. "Oh I'm might bust my lungs."
"Don't mock me!"
The two jumped when they heard a voice growl from beneath them. One of the girls screamed as a hand busted out from the stone walkway and grabbed her knee. The same girl was then dragged underneath and the other backed up as something crawled out.
"A~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~H!" She screamed as the things grabbed her by the throat and took her underground as well.
"Well this sucks. I mean we're humans too!" Tyler groaned as he and Mari sat out in the court with the rest of the Familiars who were eating out of bowls.
"At least we get food this time." Mari didn't seem to care as she ate her sandwich. "I can't tell whether this is beef or pork."
"Oh well hello there." The two perked up at the voice to see Kirche and Tabitha standing before them, the bluenette still in her book.
"Oh um hi? Do we know you?" Tyler asked.
"Oh well you're about to. I am Kirche Augusta Frederica von Anhalt-Zerbst. And this is my quiet friend Tabitha." The bluenette waved, still in her book.
"Nice to meet you I guess, I'm Tyler and this is my sister Mari." He introduced.
"Well then Tyler," Kirche started to speak in a saucy voice. "I must say you were extraordinary in that fight." She sat down next the boy which gave him a view of her 'assets'. "That armour looked amazing might I add."
"Oh uh thanks Kirche." He tried not to look down. "Y-y-you seem like a really nice person."
"Oh I can be very nice~~~." She purred as her hand drifted down to uncharted territories.
"Zerbst! Stop molesting my Familiar this instant!" That shrill voice caused Tyler and Kirche to look at the cafeteria entrance to see Louise frowning with her arms crossed.
"Molesting, is that what you call it?" She had a teasing smirk. "I call it a warrior's reward. After all, all knights deserve a bit of tender loving." Her hand slid down which made Tyler squeak.
"It's unbecoming of a Noble to touch a man in public like this!" Louise growled.
"Perhaps in Tristain." Kirche waved off. "But in Germania, love and affection are nothing to be ashamed of."
"What is you major malfunction?!"
Tyler turned to Mari with a 'dear god help me!' look.
"Nah bro, you're on your own. Oh and don't waste this opportunity, that red head is hot." She said as she took more bite out of her sandwich. "Hey, does this happen often?" She asked Tabitha, who only nodded.
It looked as though the argument was gonna get worse, if it wasn't that they notice four students being levitated by what looked like the school nurses.
"What happened to them?" Tyler wondered.
"Dunno but look at the way they're bruised." Mari pointed out. "And all that dirt on them looks anything but normal."
"Not normal." Tabitha commented.
It was then that a scream rang through the entire school, a female scream that sounded all too familiar.
"Siesta!" The twins recognized before they took off in the direction it came from. When they turned a corner, they were shocked to see the maid fallen on her back backing away from a hideous monster.
It was completely yellow with bits of black that made it look like a construction vehicle and had one giant drill on its right arm and a smaller drill on the left. It looked to be part mechanical but also had some motif of a mole.
"Don't mock me!" The monster roared at her. But it perked up and looked at the twins with an angered growl and it's drill spinning. "YOU!"
"What is that thing?!" Louise gasped as she looked over the monster.
"Ty, you don't think that thing is…."
"I hope it's not, but I'm pretty sure that thing is a Dopant." He gulped.
"And what a magnificent one it is!" Someone said with absolute joy. The twins and Nobles turned behind them to see a man adorned in a red clothing with black knightly armour atop and a red cape. His helmet masked his features but showed two eyes glowing eyes inside.
"Who are you supposed to be?" Mari eyed the strange man.
"I am Hades, the bestower of powers gifted to us from the unknown." He proclaimed. "Now rejoice as I have given this child the power to burrow the planet's core itself."
"You gave him a Gaia Memory?!" Tyler was shocked as the armoured man nodded.
"Now watch as he takes revenge against the humility you two dealt to him." Hades announced before a red and black portal opened behind him. "A moment of glory is upon here." He said before he walked backwards into the portal.
The Drill Dopant yelled as he spun his drill and stabbed it into the ground, causing cracks to snake its way towards the group. They all jumped out of the way as the crack turned into a full-on gorge.
"Sis, get ready!" Tyler said as he took out the W Driver and slapped it on.
"Got it!" She responded as she took out the Cyclone Memory with him taking out Joker.
CYCLONE!
JOKER!
"Henshin!" Mari slotted in her Memory and fell unconscious as Tyler slotted his in as well.
CYCLONE JOKER!
Wind blew around Tyler as the armour did also with the scarf blowing behind them.
"Saa, omae no tsumi o kazoero!" They pointed before running the Dopant. The Dopant swung its drill arm which the Rider ducked under before elbowing in the back and punching it the back of its head.
The Dopant turned around and grabbed the Rider by their helmet and punched them repeatedly in the stomach with its drill arm. W stumbled back before they blew a huge gust of wind at Drill, which seemed to do nothing as it dug its feet into the ground.
The Dopant roared and punched its arm forward, which fired the drill. The Rider yelped and ducked as the drill stuck itself into the wall.
The Dopant charged and tackled W to the ground. It started to punch them while they were down as the Rider tried to punch back.
"Hey, you guys know you can cast magic right?! So a little help is appreciated!" Tyler yelled from his half.
"What do you expect us to do?!" Louise retorted. "Look at that thing!"
"Blow it up!" Mari yelled. Louise realized what they were saying and took out her want and aimed it at the Drill Dopant.
"Fireball!" Instead of the spell she attempted, a minor explosion detonated in between the Rider and Dopant. The explosion blasted the Dopant a good few feet away.
"Thanks." The twins said simultaneously as they rubbed their head.
"You humiliated me!" The Rider looked back and rolled out of the way as the Dopant slammed both its arms where they once were. It held out its right arm as the drill stuck in the wall flew back into place. "Filthy Commoners!"
"Wait a minute, that voice…it's Guiche!" Tyler recognized.
"The blonde we beat up?" Mari guessed. "That kinda explains why he got a Memory, he's vengeful. Well if wind won't work," She removed the Cyclone Memory. "let's try fire!"
HEAT!
She placed it in the Driver and split it again which changed all green to red.
HEAT JOKER!
(Insert: Free your Heat)
The Drill Dopant roared and charged again, in which the Rider ducked down and dealt a fiery punch to its stomach. They continued with both Joker and Heat powered punches before delivering one last punch to the face.
The Dopant threw its arm out again and fired the drill on its arm. In retaliation W concentrated all power into the Heat Memory and shot a huge plume of fire that incinerated the drill and sent embers onto the Dopant.
"Whew, that drained me a bit. Think we should Break him now?" Mari asked rhetorically. She got no answer as Tyler only removed the Joker Memory and placed it in the Maximum Drive slot. "Alright then no need to be rude.
JOKER! MAXIMUM DRIVE!
Both of W's hands lit with red and purple fire before they jumped and split on half.
"Joker Grenade!" The two performed a dive punch, and after both collided the Dopant exploded as they joined together again. As the fire disappeared, it showed Guiche on the ground as well as the fallen Memory which then broke.
(End song)
"*Sigh* glad that's over." Tyler sighed.
"Oh my hero!" Kirche cheered before she glomped onto the Rider who squirmed. "You were so brave!"
"Mari, make her stop!"
"Nah, I'll head out." She responded and removed the two Memories, returning to her own body as the armour disappeared.
"Get off." Tyler groaned as he pushed Kirche off. He heard a moan and turned back to Guiche who dizzily sat up.
"What happened?" It then seemed as if all the memories of what he did as a Dopant rushed back to him. "No, I hurt all those students…..what have I become?"
"Hey-hey-hey stop thinking like that." Tyler walked over to the Earth Mage and knelt down. "That wasn't you, that was the Gaia Memory that did all those things."
"You forgive me? Even after I tried to harm you?"
Tyler only smiled and put a hand on Guiche's shoulder. "As long as you counted up your sins, you're good in my book."
"Hate to break the moment," Mari spoke up as she walked up to Tyler. "But can I speak to you for a sec Ty."
The twins walked over to the remains of the Gaia Memory that faded to dust.
"So this Hades guy is our version of Museum?" She asked.
"From how I see it, yeah." Tyler took his hat off and scratched his hair. "My only question is where could he have gotten those Dopant Gaia Memoires?"
"I got a better one." She looked at her Cyclone Memory. "Are there any Refined ones like ours?"
A/N: And there we go, the second chapter of Twin Familiar is over. This was the first Dopant fight as well as the first OC Dopant and the appearance of the story's main antagonist, Hades.
But next chapter I'm sure everyone knows who's gonna show up. The snarky talking weapon Derf.
But now time for me to go over reviews.
DragonKnight SR: Well not with my stories, but with another author yes.
TheOkWriter: Yeah but it's more enjoyable to see brand-new Riders with the same premise. Beside they're only using Lost Drivers.
TheTwoMind: Well Mari isn't perverted, she'd just…how do I put this without spoiling…into that sorta thing.
But anyway me peeps I will see you for my September story The New Decade-No Worlds to go to.
BYE, BYE.
