Reviews:
GhostNova1: Queen Mirellia isn't going to be Ichigo's love interest. They will share a mother-son type relationship.
As I was going through the draft for Ichigo's own team. I'm sorta getting a classic Final Fantasy team, (Warrior, White Mage, Black Mage, etc). I end up having some characters from different series and came up with this draft team along with some origin places.
Warrior: Eclair Seaetto (Shield Hero)
Dark Mage: Dorothea (Fire Emblem Three Houses/Faubley born, Melromarc raised)
White Mage: Y'shtola Rhul (FF 14/ Q'ten Lo Born, Siltvelt Raised)
Warrior: Elena Haven (Shield Hero)
Warrior: Erza Scarlet (Fairy Tail/Zeltoble)
I do not own either series or characters involved in this story.
The Queen
Melromarc Kingdom
'Great...I get transported to a fantasy world...' He stated to himself, taking all of the sights he was seeing strange monsters, creatures, and these hybrids of man and animal. The knights that are accompanying him stated that he was summoned here by the Queen but only she will tell him as to why he was brought here. That ticked off Ichigo as he was forced here by this world's magic and wanted to thrash these knights but his rage would be for the queen.
He would ask questions mainly about this world and everything else from the religion, military power, regions, locations, etc.
In this country, the Queen is the true ruler so she holds power over the king, but gives him authority to rule as she sees fit while she is away dealing with diplomatic relations. Melromarc's religion is the extremist faction that split from the Four Saints Faith into the Church of the Three Heroes. The Military's glory and strength went downhill and are somewhat of a joke compared to the other regions.
For the religion, they follow the Three Holy Heroes, It was branched from the religion of the Four Holy Heroes. The cult preaches that the Shield Hero is a devil bent on destroying the world, while the other three Heroes are Holy Gods. This is formed as the basis of the country's foundation which discriminated against the Demi-Humans. In this country, there is no story about the Shield Hero, as they were deliberately erased - the Shield Hero is written to be evil, brutal and treacherous.
That ends up making Ichigo think that they have some sort of hatred towards the Shield Hero, so Ichigo may have to find out more about the Shield Hero.
"We've arrived young Glaive." The leader of the knights stated to Ichigo, "Follow the castle guards, they'll bring you to her." Ichigo would nod his head and begins to follow the castle guards.
The little Chocobo Chick would pop its little head out of Ichigo's pocket and look around as to where they might be.
"Had a nice nap?" Ichigo looks at his pocket tee to where the chick was napping.
"Kweh." Was all the Chocobo 'said' in terms of a response.
"Well we're in the castle now but my questions are still left unanswered," Ichigo says to the Chocobo, "Better find out why I'm here." The Chocobo flies out of Ichigo's pocket and lands on his head.
While Ichigo is looking around the castle, the castle guards began talking about him.
"Is he really the {Queen's Glaive}?" Knight number one asks his brother in arms.
"The icon on his Tag confirms it. He's Queen Mirellia's Glaive." Knight number two says, "Judging from his profile, he leveled up by 5 levels and already has a {Personal Weapon}." Only the Legendary Heroes have a Personal Weapon but this makes both knights wonder as to why he a {Personal Weapon}.
"Let's see..." Knight number one begins to check out their party guest, Ichigo Kurosaki.

'He has a higher growth rate!' He sees Ichigo's potential and its off the charts. Each category from weapon-based, skill-based and magic-based, he could learn each weapon and so on. 'He could be a Legendary Hero!' The knights couldn't believe that he could be better then all of them combined.
"Mind telling me about this Queen of yours?" Ichigo asks both of the knights as he might as well learn about her.
"As the knights have told you, Queen Mirellia holds all of the power of the kingdom but incase of desperate times if she is away, the King may hold political power until the Queen comes back or in other cases, if the King isn't worthy, she may choose one of her most trusted advisors to lead the kingdom."
'Women in power...didn't expect that...' Ichigo honestly thought it would be the king from most of the stories and old tv shows he watched as a kid but he was open to the idea but he would also need to know what type of Queen this woman is. "How did she come into power?"
"About 20 years ago. She was the eldest sibling at the time until the family ended up being butchered by assassins and only she survived. Of course, this would make Queen Mirellia harden the Queen over the years but she retained a pleasant attitude. She also has been wanting to establish peace between our Kingdom of Melromarc and Siltvelt."
'So the tension between the two nations...' He says to himself, "So I was summoned here to bring peace with the Queen I presume?"
"That is between you and the Queen I'm afraid. Only she will tell you." Knight number two stated to the late teen as they all arrive in the throne room.
Once there, the two knights stopped and open the large door, revealing two thrones where the throne on the right is currently being occupied by a fair-skinned beautiful woman with purple hair tied up in a bob with long bangs. She is normally in her intricately-decorated royal gown, with what appears to be a bronze breastplate. She has a regal presence that commands the attention of everyone around her.
"Guards, you may leave us." The Queen orders all of the guards in the throne room to leave her and Ichigo alone, to which they all obliged and left the room.
"Mind telling me as to why I got summoned here?" He goes straight into the point and asks the Queen.
"Desperate times I'm afraid." The Queen started, "My country has been dealing with what you call Waves of Calamity and I was to embark on a political journey to the other nations and set up plans with them."
"Mind telling me about these Waves of Calamity?"
"They are a mysterious phenomenon that occurs every so often in the world and warranting the summoning of the Four Saint Heroes, to confront them. Originally the Four Saint Heroes and the Eight Vassal Heroes (two Vassals were made to serve each Saint) came from completely different worlds, which ultimately were destroyed/absorbed into other worlds by the waves. The Bow Hero and Shield Hero came from the world where the Demi-Humans/Beastmen originated while the Spear and Sword Heroes came from the world where humans lived."
"So I'm to protect you as a glorified bodyguard."
"Yes but no." Ichigo raises an eyebrow, "Yes you are going to be one of my guards but not a glorified one. One of the Waves of Calamity managed to destroyed Rock Valley or rather Rurorona Village."
"So you need someone to protect you from these monsters even though you have what hundreds of knights. Thanks but no thanks."
Queen Mirellia could tell that he isn't in the best of moods, much like other previous Heroes were summoned but hopefully, he'll come around.
"Better get me back home and find some other poor bastard to guard you."
"Unfortunately uh..." She honestly forgot to ask him his name.
"Ichigo. Ichigo Kurosaki."
"Unfortunately Ichigo, I can't send you back."
A tickmark forms on Ichigo's forehead, "You bullshitting me Queen?"
"No, unfortunately. I would have no problem sending you back but at the moment, there's some issue with our ways of teleporting people back." The Queen then shows some videos in the throne room of her mages having issues teleporting people back to their respective worlds, lands, etc. "Because of the Waves of Calamity, magic has been an issue to all of us. Normally we're able to use magic with some limitations but my knights have sent word that these Waves are unlike any other one, giving us trouble."
"A Monster that can disable magic or messes up magic?"
"We don't know. We still haven't found the boss."
"And if we kill this monster, I can find my way back home."
"We don't know but it may be a possibility. For now, our nation desperately needs cooperation with other nations. We...I need your help Ichigo." Mirellia pleaded to Ichigo and he could tell that she really needs his help.
He sighs, scratching his head and might as well accept the fact that he is stuck in this world, "Very well. I'll do what I can but I do expect a way back home."
"Thank you, Ichigo. I'll make sure that my mages find a way for you to return home. For now, I'll need you to get into a uniform." That raises an eyebrow for Ichigo, "One of my tailors will be there to help you get into a uniform. Also, one of my knights will escort you to the blacksmiths. I'm sure that you're going to need a good weapon."
"Uh...right." With that said, she smacks her fan on her rest and two of her knights would enter the throne room, taking Ichigo to the castle's tailer.
