Hey guys, me again. I'm really glad that this story is getting some good reviews, I really am. Some of you must wonder, am I giving up Voidwalker? The answer is obviously no, I'm just taking a small break from it. I have things to do, videos to make, ideas to expunge, that kind of jazz.
Oh, and I graduated from high school. That too.
That being said, enjoy another chapter of Zero Perfection.
This is where things get weirder for Louise.
Just Saiyan.
Chapter 2: Cute just got ugly.
To say that the small embryonic creature was confused would have been a rather severe understatement.
It was completely baffled.
As far as it was concerned, its life was supposed to revolve around evolving and then proceeding to perfect itself and then killing Son Goku.
Now?
All of those orders and messages that Doctor Gero imprinted into its DNA and bio-mechanical body just slowly began to disintegrate.
It's like they were being overwritten.
But that was ludicrous, wasn't it? There is no way the complex programming and precautions the mad doctor made could be overwritten so easily.
But of course, scientific programming does little when confronted with MAGICAL programming.
Replacing his orders to destroy Goku and the rest of the Z-fighters were almost instinctual compulsions to remain by this pink haired girl's side and protect her.
Protect her.
IT went from future weapon of destruction to pet/bodyguard within the span of a single day.
How could this have happened?
Oh right. Magic.
Regardless, IT could do little else but analyze its situation. IT was trapped in unknown land, in a country that does not exist, where the planet has two moons, people can use magic and can summon magical and mundane creatures as personal pets/guardians/houseplants/etc.
The dialect they spoke was similar to French but bore similarities to Italian and a little bit of German as well.
From the looks of things, the current location IT was in was a school of sorts.
Just great. Not only was IT stuck here in a world full of strange science defying beings and laws that would make Doctor Gero have a stroke, IT was stuck in a damn school full of adolescent children with boys who think with their genitalia and girls who think with their romance novels.
Just perfect.
...
The irony of that statement was not lost on IT.
#10:00 AM, Louise's room#
Louise yawned cutely as she sat up and stretched. She blinked the sleep from her eyes and let her hand drop to her side.
Only for her right hand to plop on something soft, leathery and breathing.
She turned her sights towards the silently sleeping creature she summoned yesterday.
"It... it wasn't a dream..." she began to smile "I really did it...I summoned a familiar... whatever it is."
With that, she laid down again and stared at her familiar. It was a strange little thing. No eyes, no nose, just a single wide mouth with a fat purple tongue and only four tiny stubby teeth in there, two in the bottom and two at the top.
Its little fingers were stubby and probably couldn't bend that well. Its hind legs had three faint nubs on each foot that might be toes in the process of growing. Its tail was rather thin compared to its rather thick body.
"I don't know what you are... but I sure can't wait to see what you grow into."
Oh how she was going to eat those words.
#two hours later#
IT had no idea how it got there. One moment it was fast asleep and the next thing it knew, it was being carried off and was placed on a table right in front of a large assortment of food.
Despite not having eyes yet, IT could smell the food through its sensors on its tongue and it immediately began to ravage the food.
"Hey, don't eat too fast! Some of that is for me you know." A female voice called out from right behind IT.
The green creature turned its head towards the source of the sound. It could smell vanilla and daisies... the same smell of the girl that summoned IT.
The embryonic infant just turned its head towards the large pastry it held in both its little hands before turning back to the girl and holding the pastry out to her.
It was lucky it had no eyes or it would have seen the sparkles dancing in Louise's.
"You're... so... damn... cute!" Louise exclaimed as she tried not to immediately snatch up her familiar and hug it. She just accepted the offered cup cake and began to eat it as her familiar returned to mauling the food.
They were sitting outside at a simple wooden table where she had one of the maids place a number of different foods there, since she wasn't sure what 'Little Green' ate.
Turns out, it ate everything.
Literally.
Bread? Chomp.
Meat? Chomp.
Eggs? Gulp.
Milk? Slurp.
Vegetables and fruit? Mastication commences.
It even went as far as eating one of the napkins accidentally.
Whatever Little Green was, it sure had an appetite.
Louise stared at her familiar and began to write in a little notebook. 'Can eat nearly anything, including cloth. Slimy skin and wide mouth. Some kind of Salamander subspecies perhaps?'
Eventually, the food all ran out and her familiar was just lying there on the table on its back with a bloated belly, which made it look absolutely hilarious, like a quadrupedal beached whale.
"Alright Little Green, come to mommy, time to go and get cleaned up." Louise said happily as she pat the table.
'Little Green' turned its head towards her curiously. Mommy? As in mother? She wanted it to consider her as its mother? An incredibly strange notion, though common with women who own pets.
However, IT was no ordinary creature so this situation was quite interesting.
Reluctantly, IT began to roll over and crawl towards her until she picked it up carefully so she wouldn't aggravate Little Green's stomach as she walked back to their room to wash off all the crumbs and other leftovers pieces of food that managed to splatter all over her familiar.
#half an hour later#
Bathing was a refreshing experience for Little Green. Feeling the water cleanse it of all impurities and just envelope it in cleanly goodness reminded it of when IT still lived in that vat of liquid.
Speaking of which, wasn't it supposed to not be able to breathe without the liquid?
Bah, no matter. It just trotted behind Louise to see what else she was going to do. First a banquet of food, then a nice bath, IT was liking its situation already.
IT noticed something interesting as well. It was evolving at a slightly faster rate than it would have back in the lab. Already it had grown three toes and was slowly getting bigger. Another deviation caused by magic? Perhaps. But for now, IT was going to forget all the troublesome thoughts and follow Mother.
Louise stood in one of the many fields outside the school. There were several other students there as well with their own familiars but she paid them no mind. It was time to see what her familiar could do.
"So Valliere, what IS your familiar anyway? Looks like some sort of lizard if you ask me." A haughty voice called out.
'Oh Founder give me strength...' Louise thought as she turned to see her least favorite person in the entire school. "What is it now Zerbst?"
"Oho, how cruel, can't I just pop up to see how you are doing?" the red haired Germanian asked with a grin.
"Why should you? The only reason you ever come around me is to bug me. Now shove off, I have things to do." Louise snapped.
"Ohoho, scalding." Kirche of the Zerbst family chuckled.
Little Green simply sat there on its hind legs quizzically. Whoever this new person was, Louise didn't like her. Does that mean IT shouldn't like her either?
"Hello there little one. My name is Kirche. How do you do?" Kirche said, ignoring Louise's glare as she knelt down and held a hand out to the reptilian looking creature. Little Green simply stared blankly at her before poking its tongue out at her and then trotting off to Louise's side.
Kirche's face was painted with surprise whereas Louise just bit her lip so she wouldn't burst out laughing. A small part of her was proud that her familiar actually did that. 'Good, it knows who it shouldn't waste time with.'
"Well... that was surprising. Your familiar appears to be incredibly intelligent, if anything." The busty and tanned Germanian said as she stood up. "But it has nothing on my Flame, isn't that right dear?"
A large red reptile the size of a tiger came up from behind Kirche and nuzzled its head to her palm.
Louise stood in front of her own familiar protectively, as if worried that the Salamander was going to eat Little Green. It was big enough to swallow him whole.
"At least my familiar can fight, Valliere. Yours can't do much other than look cute and-what's happening to it?" Kirche suddenly questioned in confusion. Louise looked down to find her familiar shuddering and pulsing a bit as veins began to throb on its body.
"W-what's wrong? What's happening to you?" Louise asked with panic as she knelt down next to her familiar that continued to shudder and pulse. The volume of her voice caused other students to turn and look at the sight.
"Heh, of course her familiar is a failure as well."
"It looks like it's gonna explode!"
"Pity, it looked kinda cute."
Louise was ready to snap at them until her familiar just stopped moving.
And then it began to grow.
It began slowly as it grew in size, but then its body started changing. It started to grow a hard shell, longer digits and limbs and most noticeable of all, it grew eyes.
Slowly, it turned from small and reptilian to large and insectoid.
It was still on all fours, but now it's body was covered by a hard exoskeleton. Its helmet-like head had grown much larger and now sported a pair of incredibly pale pinkish eyes with no pupils and a strange insectoid mouth that look like a small orange hump with several lines on it, one of which being the actual opening for the mouth. Its tail had shrunk in length and now sported a small stinger at the end. Its once deep green color had turned pale and sickly with black spots.
All in all, it looked like a very ugly beetle.
And it was also nearly the same size as Flame.
Louise stared at the now evolved familiar with wide eyes before finally finding her voice. "Little Green...?"
It turned its head towards her and crawled to her slowly before prodding her foot in the same manner it did when she first summoned it.
Slowly, she began to smile as she reached out with one hand and began to pet it on the... helmet.
"Well Valliere, I was wrong. Now he's big and ugly. Even more useless than before it seems." Kirche said after recovering from the shock.
Louise caught her familiar's eyes narrowing before it scuttled towards the red-head and then proceeded to leap off the ground like a grasshopper and head-butt the Germanian girl right in the stomach, causing her to fall flat on her rump. It then proceeded to growl at Flame, who immediately cowered at the sudden killing intent.
Louise stared at her familiar in awe before growing a smirk. "How's that for useless? The only thing useless around here are those oversized balloons stuck to your chest. Come on Little Green, let's go and get you a snack."
Excited at the prospect of being able to eat, the insectoid creature immediately scuttled after Louise.
Kirche slowly began to sit up and rub her belly, with a grin that never left her face. "Heh, that Valliere sure has an interesting familiar."
#a few hours later#
Siesta was a simple maid. She liked to clean, she liked to cook, she enjoyed helping people and she loved smutty romance novels.
And like most stereotypical teenage girls who were 'moe', she was terrified of insects.
So when one of the female nobles suddenly shows up at the kitchen with a beetle-like monster the size of a pit bull?
She freaked out.
"A-A-A-A-ALMIGHTY F-FOUNDER, W-W-WHAT I-IS T-THAT!?" Siesta exclaimed to the high heavens, dropping her broom as she stared at the spotted creature in horror.
"This is Little Green, you helped feed him this morning." Louise said indignantly.
"B-but he looks n-nothing like the c-cute little lizard from before!"
"Well he grew, and now he could use a snack." Louise said with a sigh, missing her familiar leer at Siesta and then lick its lips.
"E-EEEEEK, D-DON'T EAT ME!" the raven haired maid wailed as she held a plate in front of her defensively.
"What in Brimir's name is wrong with you?" Louise exclaimed in surprise.
"I-i-i-it looked at me and licked its lips!"
"He was probably trying to tell you that he's hungry." Louise said as she began to feel her patience failing. This was going to take a while.
#an hour later, lunch time#
'Little Green' was rather content with his life right now.
He was currently eating a bountiful feast of leftovers, in the form of the scraps and the parts of vegetables and animals that nobody eats. Apparently, this way the humans could continue to make food for the students and feed him at the same time without working harder. Louise agreed with it since Little Green eats just about anything, though she was apprehensive about him not eating normal food. She then had to leave to go and eat in the main dining hall after being assured by the Head Chef, a hearty man named Marteau, that Little Green would be in good hands and then proceeded to tell Siesta to keep watch of the insectoid familiar.
Speaking of the raven hair girl, 'Little Green' was enjoying terrifying the poor little maid. He couldn't help it. It must have been from his Arcosian genes but he enjoyed tormenting somebody weaker than him.
And then biggest reason he was happy.
His evolution was accelerating at an amazing rate.
What should have taken four years was now going to be done in less than four more hours. His mental processes are working optimally and his powers were beginning to unveil themselves before him.
Truly, the wonders of magic in this world are a great boon to him. Now he can evolve into his first form and then...
And then what?
Little Green paused in his devouring of chicken entrails at that thought.
What would he do? Android 17 and 18 didn't exist here. Son Goku didn't exist here.
Hell, everything that he was made from and for didn't exist here.
What was the point then? Why was he here?
He then thought about his connection. He could feel it, the strange bond between him and Louise. The person whom wished for him to treat her as 'mother'.
So was this it? He was going to spend the rest of his life looking after her, never achieving his perfect form?
Unless... could magic also help him evolve into his perfect form without needing to absorb Android 17 and 18? And perhaps, like how it is currently accelerating his growth, could it be possible that his own powers will be enhanced with the help of magic? In fact, could it be possible that he could even LEARN magic?
Little Green was snapped out of his thoughts when he noticed that the cowering maid that was supposed to watch over him was no longer there. He turned his head around to find her, only to see nothing but the other maids and chefs working.
Suddenly, his Namekian gene hearing began to pick up some sounds. Sounds of an argument coming from the noisy dining hall. And one of the voices he recognized belonged to Siesta.
Curious, Little Green began to crawl out of there and head into the main dining hall.
#a few moments later#
He came across an interesting sight.
Siesta was apologizing profusely to a blonde boy. He looked ridiculous with a silly looking rose in his hands (surprisingly from the smell, it was not even fake, it was somehow a rose locked in preservation due to some form of magic) and his school shirt was much frillier than the other boys'.
He also looked pissed.
"How dare you sully the honor of two maidens by sneaking this perfume onto me!"
"I-I swear that I didn't! I swear I saw it about to fall out of your pocke-"
"Are you calling me, a noble, a liar? How insolent! You need to be punished for this!" the blonde fop exclaimed as his male friends hooted in agreement.
"N-no, please forgive me sir Gramont, I-"Siesta tried to apologize but was cut off with another shout from the blonde student.
"Silence, I will see to it personally tha-OOF!" he himself was cut off when something large and spotted barreled into his stomach and knocked him over.
Siesta's eyes widened as she took in the appearance of the last thing she expected to come to her rescue. "L-Little Green?"
"What the devil is this!?" the blonde student nearly shrieked in shock as he looked at the creature that just knocked him over. "Such a hideous and disgusting looking creature!"
Little Green growled and prepared to give the boy the beating of his life with nothing more than his own head and maybe tail until a certain pinkette beat him to the punch. "HEY! That's my familiar you are insulting Guiche!"
Louise stepped up and stood next to her familiar with her hands on her hips.
"Of course it's Valliere's, why am I not surprised? The Zero summons such an ugly creature befitting with her ugly personality." Guiche quips as he stands up, a few of the other students laughing with him.
"Why you... Little Green is the best familiar there is! He's smart and strong and can eat anything! At least he isn't useless like your fat mole!"
"Don't you dare bring my Verdandi into this!" Guiche exclaimed in anger. "At least Verdandi is adorable, yours looks like a walking freak show!"
"Little Green is strong and that's all I need! I don't care if he's cute or ugly! I bet he can send you crying to your mother in minutes!" Louise shouted as she pointed a finger at the blonde fop.
"Oh? Let's test that theory shall we?" Guiche said with a smirk. "Me and him will duel in the Vestri court in ten minutes. If he can actually 'send me crying to my mother', as you so eloquently put it, I will take back what I said.
"Eh? But you're a noble, you can't duel him!"
"Correction, only nobles may not duel each other. But he's a familiar, so it is perfectly fine."
"B-but still..."
"What's the matter Zero? I thought your familiar was the best there is?" Guiche taunted as the other students laughed with him.
"M-milady Valliere, please, this is all my fault. L-let me just accept his punishment an-" Siesta was cut off by Louise as the pinkette raised her hand.
"Fine then Guiche. Vestri court. Ten minutes." Louise said with a glare. The blonde just scoffed and walked off, the other students beginning to file out after him. Once they all left, Louise slumped to the ground.
"Oh I'm so sorry Little Green, I shouldn't have dragged you into this mess." The pink haired girl said as she stroked her familiar's head.
"No Miss Valliere, it is my fault. I should not have antagonized him and made Little Green come to my rescue... thank you Little Green." Siesta said, adding a smile at the end of that sentence to the spotted insectoid familiar, who just blinked at her.
"What am I going to do? If I pull him out of the fight, they will all ridicule me even more..." Louise muttered as she pat her familiar's head. To her surprise, he just nudged her once with his head and then began to scuttle off to where Guiche went. "Wait, where are you going!? Are you actually going to fight him!?"
She received no reply and instead Little Green just went off to find the Vestri court, his master and the raven haired maid following right after him.
#a few minutes later#
"Well what do you know? You actually showed up." Guiche said as the Louise, Siesta and Little Green entered the court. "And here I thought you would chicken out."
Little Green growled as he began to crawl forward slowly.
"Hmph, no matter. You probably don't even understand a word that I am saying." Guiche simply flipped his hair in an overly dramatic fashion before pointing his rose at the creature. "Normally in cases like these I should describe the rules of a duel to you but since you are such a foul and ignorant creature I will skip that and simply skip to the battle."
"Hey! Little Green understands Halkeginian!" Louise shouted with a glare.
"If the peanut gallery could be quiet for a moment please!" Guiche exclaimed in annoyance as he held his rose wand aloft. "I will now proceed to introduce myself. Be grateful, creature, that you have the honor of facing a noble in battle. Not many commoners get such a privilege and even less beasts such as yourself."
Little Green said nothing as he stared at the human. Had he any pupils then the people there would have been able to see him roll his eyes.
Guiche waved his wand dramatically and let a single petal fall of the rose. The moment it touched the ground, it burst with light and the ground beneath it transformed and shifted into a large, metallic form.
Little Green was actually surprised and a little bit impressed when he saw what the boy conjured up. He was expecting some kind of rain of small pebbles or at least a small ball of fire. Maybe even a large plant attacking him.
He certainly was not expecting the boy to summon a ten foot tall automaton made of metal. A brown kind of metal, like copper or bronze. In its hands it wielded a sword and a shield, made out of the same kind of metal.
"I am known as Guiche the Bronze, and as such, my bronze Valkyrie shall face you!"
Ah, bronze it is then.
Little Green exhaled slowly before scuttling quickly to the metal woman. The Valkyrie silently stomped up to him and raised a sword before bringing it down. In an amazing show of agility though, the small insectoid familiar simply leapt to the side swiftly before leaping again and ramming it's forehead into the side of the magical construct. To his surprise, the attack only left a small dent in its side. He tried head butting it again, only for it to block with the shield and smack him away.
This small cycle continued on for several minutes, as the students watched and laughed.
"Its like watching a lion try and fight a dragon!"
"Place your bets people, who will win? The metal maiden or the icky insect!"
"Come on Guiche, stomp that thing like the bug it is!"
Louise growled as she heard the jeers and insults, before a concerned expression came over her face. 'Come on Little Green, you can do this... you're strong... you're smart... you are my perfect familiar, you can win this!'
As if responding, Little Green backed up a bit after dodging a potentially deadly swing of a sword before leaping forward with far more strength than before as he rammed his head into the chest of the Valkyrie.
And smashed it to pieces.
The metal construct had a very large dent in its chest and much of its armor had shattered from the impact as it slowly fell over.
"Yes!" Louise cheered, Siesta smiling and cheering with her.
"Hooo, not bad at all. But let's see how you stand up to this!" Guiche exclaimed as he swung his rose again.
And summoned up five Valkyries, each one bearing a different weapon. Two held swords, one had a sword and shield combo, another held a mace and the last held a spear.
"Oh no..." Siesta muttered. "He was having trouble against ONE of them, how is he going to fight five..?"
"He can do it! He's my familiar, he can do anything!" Louise declared, trying to remain confident.
To her delight, Little Green did splendidly against the Valkyries as he dodged and retaliated with every opportunity he found.
Until one of the Valkyries grabbed him by the tail.
Louise felt something twist in her heart as she saw the metal warrior woman smash her familiar down into the ground and then stomp on it, the others joining in briefly before kicking the insectoid creature to the side.
"H-how could you! You didn't need to be so brutal!" Louise yelled as she glared at Guiche, who simply smirked condescendingly.
"Sorry, my Valkyries tend to have minds of their own sometimes." The blonde fop laughed lightly before hearing a small and weak growl.
Louise and Siesta watched in horror as they saw the beaten and bruised familiar begin to get back up and shake itself before it started waving its tail menacingly.
Little Green's mind was a bit jumbled up from the beating but he certainly knew one thing.
He was pissed.
He glared at the Valkyries that took advantage of his tail to attack him. Though he could not blame them as he probably would have done the same if he was them.
He growled as he berated himself mentally. He should have put his tail into account. While his Namekian regeneration will help him heal from his injuries, it still takes up a lot of Ki... wait...
Little Green froze as it realized something. It had Ki. The other humans had Ki.
And for some reason, so did the Valkyries.
Perhaps it's because of the magic keeping them together. When it came to sensing energy, Ki and the magical energy the humans had just fell into the same category. Frankly, there was almost no difference.
The question that pondered Little Green's mind however...
Could he absorb the magic in the Valkyries to render them immobile while boosting his own energy?
The crowd watched in confusion as Little Green began to wave its tail slowly and crawl towards one of the Valkyries. Guiche saw this and frowned before gesturing with his wand, making his constructs of bronze charge at the familiar.
It looked like the same song and dance. They attacked and he dodged.
Only after a few moments, he did something new.
Once the insectoid familiar leapt above one of the Valkyries, specifically the mace wielding one, he jabbed his tail into the neck of it as he grappled it from behind.
The students laughed at how silly it looked. Especially Guiche.
"Hah, stupid insect! It doesn't matter if you have some kind of poison in your tail! That kind of thing won't... huh..?"
Following Guiche's trailing off into befuddlement, the students stared in shock as the Valkyrie began stumble and slowly degrade in color, the metal returning slowly into soil and dirt, until finally it was no more.
And Little Green was standing on top of its remains, his bruises and injuries practically gone and he even seemed a little bigger.
#one end of the Vestri court, back of the crowd*
In the crowd, one particular individual with red hair and tanned skin watched in surprise.
"Wow, that was rather impressive. Don't you think so Tabitha?" Kirche asked as she turned to her quiet friend, before widening her eyes in shock.
Tabitha was certainly watching the fight. Her eyes were wide as well, a look of shock upon her normally cold face.
And she had dropped her book.
Dropped. Her. Book.
"T-Tabitha?"
"I-impossible..." the bluenette muttered. "It... it..."
"What? What's wrong?"
"F-familiar... drained... magic..." Tabitha slowly said.
Kirche stared at her in confusion. "Sorry?"
"That familiar... just drained the Valkyrie of all of the magic powering it."
And that was possibly the longest sentence Kirche had heard Tabitha say in a very long time.
It took several seconds for her to process what her friend just said though.
"D-drained magic? B-but that isn't possible! No living creature can drain magic like that! Right?" Kirche asked in shock.
"No... only..."
"Only what?"
Tabitha looked at Kirche with a small amount of horror on her face.
"Only Elves."
*middle of Vestri court*
Little Green was beginning to pant.
Not out of exhaustion.
But out of joy. Out of euphoria.
It could drain the Valkyries. It could drain out all of their energy.
Now THIS evened the playing field considerably.
Leering at the other Valkyries, he leapt off the ground and grappled another before jabbing his tail into its neck and began to absorb its magical energy.
Guiche realized what the familiar was doing before conducting his Valkyries to move and attack it. "Stop him, don't let him do it again!"
Unfortunately for Guiche, he was too late.
Within seconds, Little Green drained the second Valkyrie of all its magical energy. There was surprisingly little fueling these constructs. Perhaps they don't need much energy to summon?
But for what they lacked in the amount they had individually, it was more than made up by how many of them there were.
And Little Green was counting on their numbers as he continued to drain them dry, one by one.
Guiche panicked and started summoning more Valkyries, sending them all to attack the familiar until the spotted green creature was being pummeled by no less than fifteen Valkyries. Seeing this, Guiche began to laugh as Louise watched in horror, seeing the large amount of metal constructs attacking Little Green.
What they didn't know is that by know, Little Green had so much energy, he was already practically immune to physical attacks of that caliber. The Valkyries hit him and sliced at him, but each attack just bounced off. Instead, all they did was annoy him as he milked the Valkyries for all they were worth.
It was halfway through absorbing the energy in the seventh Valkyrie that he felt something.
He felt... a change. He felt something about to burst. Like a happy memory he had long forgotten had just been remembered. But what could possibly...
'...oh...yesss...yesss... yes, yes, yes ,YES,YES,YES,YES,YES,YES,YES,YES,YES,YES,YES,YES,YES,YES,YES,YES,YES,YES,YES,YES!'
Suddenly, the students all froze as a loud growl came from the dogpile of Valkyries. Slowly, something under the pile began to glow very brightly.
And then the light burst out as the ground shook a bit, wind rushing out of the pile of bronze warriors as the students braced themselves against the wind, the girls holding down their skirts to preserve their modesty.
When the light and wind was gone and the earth was silent once more, something shocking happened.
The Valkyries exploded.
All at once.
The explosion was quite a large one, and apparently powerful enough to completely erase any trace of the Valkyries, not even a small piece of scrap escaped.
"What the hell was that!?" one of the students exclaimed.
"Was that the Zero!? Is she that desperate to win!?" another shouted.
"Hey! I don't even have my wand out!" Louise exclaimed before feeling something through her bond with her familiar.
It felt... stronger.
And then she saw HIM.
The smoke was clearing and the audience was treated to a rather... intimidating sight.
Standing in the epicenter of what was once a Valkyrie dog pile... was a monster.
It stood upright and had the structure of a human with a height of at least 9 full feet... it had five fingers with black nails...
And that's where the human resemblance ended.
Its body was moss green in color, some parts being lime green and orange. Its body's joints were segmented, the skin and material between the joints being a light blue color. Some kind of very dark blue crystalline material was embedded into its abdomen and forehead.
Its feet had three toes.
Its head's helmeted shape was shaped more like a 'V' than before. Its pink eyes now had black slits serving as pupils.
It had some kind of musculature that seemed similar to that of a very fit adult male.
Its tail was several feet in length now and swayed slowly and dangerously behind it.
Everybody was frozen as they stared at the being. Without a doubt, the creature in front of them was the familiar that Louise had summoned. And just like before lunch, it had evolved.
Only now it was much more intimidating.
"..L-Little Green..?" Louise muttered in shock and some fear.
To her surprise, the humanoid being's eyes snapped towards her.
And then they softened slightly as he turned around to face her. Louise could even see the corners of the being's insectoid mouth twist upwards in what seemed to be a smile.
"Hello mother."
Five seconds after hearing that, Siesta promptly fainted next to Louise, who simply stood there in complete silence and shock.
Slowly, 'Little Green' began to let out a guttural and raspy chuckle before in exploded into a loud fit of laughter as he held his stomach.
"Ohoho God, I wasn't expecting HER to faint but-pfft-that works too-hohahahahaha!"
At this point many of the other students had begun to faint in shock or from fear in the more faint hearted girls' cases.
"W-what in the Founder's name are you!?" a certain blonde fop exclaimed in horror.
"Ah yes, the little blonde idiot from before! What was your name again? Gweesh? Bah, whatever, your name isn't important." Little Green said as he turned to face the dot line earth mage. "I guess I do have to thank you for the meal though. Thanks to the magic powering your little tin toys, I managed to accelerate my growth even further ahead of schedule! You just saved me a few hours of eating and sleeping!"
"W-what are you talking about!?"
"Let me make this clear for you. Your toys had magic in them. I can absorb magic. I sucked your toys dry. I got bigger, stronger and much much smarter." The tall monster said with his raspy voice as he crossed his arms.
"B-but that's impossible! N-no living thing can absorb magic!" Guiche exclaimed in shock.
"Khehehehaha, no ordinary living thing at least. I'm afraid I don't fall under the same category of that. after all..." the tall creature then threw a glance at his still shell-shocked master. "I AM the perfect familiar."
Guiche shivered and felt the urge to just summon his Valkyries up again to attack this thing. The amount of danger he felt from seeing it just scared him. "What the devil are you!?"
"Ah, of course, I believe introductions are in order." The being said before settling into a stance with one foot slightly behind the other, his tail curving around behind him and his hands splayed wide in an almost welcoming gesture, a stance that was imitating that of a certain Arcosian ruler.
"I am the ultimate lifeform... the pinnacle of strength... I am a creature born with the DNA and blood of only the most powerful and elite of lifeforms! I am the perfect familiar, with an edge in mind, strength, spirit, technique and all aspects of battle! Mother calls me 'Little Green'..." the creature then let out a raspy chuckle and began to smile.
"But I prefer Cell."
Well, he's here! He's up, he's in his first form and God he is ugly (ironically, his first form is also my favorite form.)!
Now, I'm sure you all probably didn't expect him to reach his first form so quickly but I have two reasons for making him reach it so early.
One: magic boosting his growth.
Two: do you really think I'm gonna type several chapters with him in his larva and pre-first form? Nope, sorry, I don't want to do that.
Now then, how will his now humanoid form effect his relationship with his master?
Will he continue calling her mother for the rest of this fic?
Will he ever reach his perfect form?
Will other DBZ characters ever enter this world as well?
