Chapter 3: Chrysalis End

AN: Sorry I've been gone for so long, art college is a nightmare. So this chapter is really short, but its gonna get updated eventually and be even longer. But yeah, I'm alive and stuff, which you could probably tell if anyone bothers to check my deviantart.

AN 2: Not an update, just telling you all that I put a poll up for funsies. Sorry for teasing.

The entire Vestri court was submerged in very tense silence. Shock and horror was present on all of the faces of the students who were witnessing this event.

The green colored monstrosity that was Louise's familiar had adopted a vaguely humanoid form and even gained the ability of speech. And by the Founder, he had a way with words. Each sentence spoke by him brought uncomfortable chills down everyone's spines, his raspy voice full of amusement and condescension.

Louise was rooted to her spot, a myriad of thoughts circling her mind. In a way, she felt some sort of amusement at this situation. She wished for the perfect familiar, one that would be unbeatable and unrivaled, a God among familiars. And she got this giant bug monster that had a voice like a man who hasn't had a drop of water for months ever since entering the deserts of R'ub Al Kali.

She was so shocked, she didn't notice that poor Siesta who had fainted several moments ago was beginning to stir. The raven haired maid shook her head before looking in front of her...

...and her eyes landed on Louise's familiar.

She instantly broke out into a cold sweat, her body trembling in fear as she stared at the black spotted insectoid being.

'Little Green' or rather; Cell, was inwardly laughing his ass off. While he felt a bit dirty stealing Frieza's stance for his 'official' introduction, the looks on the kids' faces was so worth posing like that purple lipped frost demon.

Then again, considering that the only techniques he knows belong to Frieza and the rest of the Z Fighters, he probably shouldn't feel too bad about using Frieza's signature pose since everything he knows is technically copyrighted to them. But the guy's dead after all, so what does he care?

#elsewhere, in otherworld#

The floor cracked beneath a triple toed and ivory skinned foot as a certain Arcosian prince gritted his teeth in annoyance.

'I have the sudden urge to strangle something green... I should go find that Namekian and mess him up a little... what was his name? Ah yes, Slug.' Frieza thought as he felt like someone ripped off his style.

"Something wrong son?" King Cold asked in a partially curious but mostly indifferent manner as he sat with his arms crossed, watching the landscape of HFIL shift and burn, the sounds of fighting, explosions and the magnificent space duck audible in the distance.

"What's the matter brother, did you stub your toe?" Cooler asked with a mocking tone in his voice, turning his head to the side as he dodged a Death Beam fired from Frieza's index finger.

"Shut up Cooler, I'm going to toss around Slug again. Do you want in or what?"

"A chance to beat up that idiot? You don't even need to ask."

#back to the plot#

Cell decided to fuck around with Guiche a little more before ending the fight. Call him mean but when you're finally given a body where you can actually do the crap you want to do after years of being stuck as an embryo, you can afford to cut loose a little, even if it means scaring the bejesus out of a little brat.

"So are we going to do this or has this duel turned into a staring contest?" Cell asked with a grin, snapping Guiche out of his shocked state, the blonde boy blinking before shaking his head.

"W-what?"

"Cuz if it is, then you just lost. Then again I can actually stop blinking for more than an hour so you never had a chance. Watch!" Cell said as he began to stare at the blonde student, unnerving him even more.

...

Several seconds passed as the green familiar continued to stare at Guiche like a bird. The blonde fop's eye was twitching nervously and in a small amount of irritation. "What are-"

"Beep."

The students began to blink and look at each other in confusion. Guiche's face developed a similarly perplexed look at Cell's sudden interruption. "Wha-"

"Beep."

"Wh-"

"Beep." Cell quipped again, still not blinking. Guiche began to grit his teeth in annoyance.

"Oi-"

"Beep."

"Stop-"

"Beep."

"Would y-"

"Beep."

"OI-"

"Beeeeeeeeep!" Cell droned as he stared at the Gramont family's youngest child. Guiche stared at him in utter exasperation, his fear now turning irritated and unnerved as his eyebrow twitched in annoyance.

"...are you done?"

"One moment." Cell said before his head rotated 180 degrees to the right with a disgusting snap, causing the more squeamish students (and Siesta) to faint while the others recoiled in horror.

"Ooh, that's a pretty bird." The disturbingly cheerful sounding monster said as he stared at a dove perched on the branch of a tree several feet behind him, paying no mind to the terrified looks the other students, including Louise, gave him. "I like the talons. Reminds me of my own feet, except I don't actually have talons. Maybe I should grow some talons..." Cell muttered the last part silently to himself.

"W-what in the Founder's name!?" a loud and scared voice cried out. Cell then remembered that he was supposed to be in a duel of some sort.

"Oh, right, staring contest." Cell said before his neck snapped back into place. "Right, forgot about you for a second. What're we doing again? Staring contest right?"

"W-wha, no! Not a staring contest!" Guiche exclaimed, his temper rising.

"Oh, okay then. In that case, how bout we play tag? Here, lemme go first." Cell said as he crouched a bit before his body rocketed forward with alarming speed, skidding to a stop directly in front of Guiche. The blonde boy's eyes were as wide as saucers as his mind tried to process exactly how fast Cell was moving.

"W-what the-"

"Tag, YOU'RE IT!"

That exclamation was the only warning Guiche got before Cell struck. To the bio android himself, he believed that all he did was give a small pat to Guiche on the shoulder.

To everyone else, he swiped his arm forward and practically bitch-slapped Guiche into a tree several feet away, making several snapping noises that were either branches or bones breaking.

With a small crash, Guiche's body tumbled from the tree and landed in a pathetic heap on the ground, his eyes spinning.

"...oops." Cell muttered sheepishly. "Forgot humans are really fragile."

With that, Louise's mind finally broke and she fell in line with Siesta as her brain decided that she's seen enough weird for today, and she proceeded to lose consciousness.

#an hour or so later#

Louise blearily opened her eyes, groaning as she did so. She looked around, recognizing the furniture of her room. She slowly sat up, rubbing her eyes before looking at herself realizing she was still in her school uniform.

She then felt the memories of what happened at Vestri court surface... and she immediately froze.

"T-that was a dream right? Please tell me that didn't happen." Louise muttered before looking around, searching for her familiar. Finding nothing, she got off her bed and slowly looked around some more before deciding to call him. "L-Little Green?"

"Yes?" a raspy voice whispered directly into her ear.

"KYAAA!" Louise shrieked as she leapt into the air and spun around to look behind her, stumbling as she moved as far away as possible from the source, which was her familiar, in all of his terrifying glory, laughing himself to death as he held his stomach.

"OHOHO GOD THAT WAS TOO MUCH! YOU SHOULD HAVE SEEN THE LOOK ON YOUR-"

"FIREBALL!"

Nearly everyone in the academy heard the resulting explosion.

#minutes later, headmaster's office#

Old Osmond has seen many strange things in his lifetime... but the sight in front of him was slowly edging its way into the top of the list.

He had heard from Colbert that the Valliere girl managed to summon a familiar successfully. Of course, he wasn't really that impressed, the spell was easy as all hell. The fact that it was the only spell she ever managed to cast successfully was what piqued his curiosity. There were countless others easier than the summoning spell, so why was that the only one she managed to do in her entire time as a student?

His interest was piqued even more when Colbert described the runes. They covered the familiar's entire body when the contract was sealed, before vanishing completely into the skin. It was strange, no familiar runes have ever been recorded to cover that much of a familiar's skin, nor become completely transparent upon completion.

When the staff reported to him that the familiar had grown bigger at an alarming rate before lunch, his curiosity was piqued even further. From how Colbert described it when it was summoned, the familiar was reptilian, like a salamander and was barely bigger than a 4 month old human infant. However the staff reported that it had turned into some kind of quadrupedal insectoid creature and that it could eat literally anything they fed it without pause, even the bones and the guts of animals, and occasionally any stray piece of cloth that happened to be nearby.

However the familiar's latest evolution was by far the most astounding thing.

Earlier today, the Gramont family's youngest child was admitted into the nurse station due to multiple broken bones, especially in the shoulder area and a concussion. According to the students that brought him there, it was due to a rather powerful slap from Valliere's familiar, which was reported to have evolved yet again, this time into a humanoid yet still mostly insectoid creature, capable of speech.

According to eye witness accounts from other students, as soon as his (they assume it was male due to his masculine physique and voice) master fainted, he immediately rushed to her and the maid next to her before grabbing them both and vanishing. The head chef Marteau reported that around that time, he found an unconscious Siesta on the floor next to the kitchen's entrance.

Then, an hour or so later, a large explosion erupted from Valliere's room. According to eye witness accounts from other students and maids nearby, after the explosion which managed to decimate the entire wall and door into Valliere's room, they heard the insane laughter of her familiar and the angry shouting of the pinkette herself.

A teacher then sent the two straight to Osmond's office, thinking that it was better if he dealt with it.

Which led to this situation.

Louise Valliere sat nervously in her chair across his desk and her familiar stood right next to her, his arms crossed, an amused expression on his face.

"Whoa..."

Osmond and Louise's eyes turned to the large green familiar, who was staring unblinkingly at Osmond.

"That... is one magnificent looking beard. Best facial hair I have ever seen." Which honestly wasn't saying much because the only facial hair he even remembers is Doctor Gero's and Master Roshi's from the bio memories implanted into his head.

...Osmond felt rather disturbed yet strangely pleased hearing that.

"Why thank you, it took me many decades to grow this beard. I groom it and take good care of it every day." Old Osmond said proudly as he stroked his majestic meter long beard.

"I can tell, it's got a clean and silvery tone to it. Every hair is completely straight, not a single one tangled with another. Amazing. It's like a curtain of silver coated strings. " Cell said with awe... why he was captivated by a beard of all things, no one would ever know, not even Cell himself.

Louise felt her eye twitch.

Osmond smiled at the familiar. "Thank you, I appreciate the comment." He then turns his head to his secretary. "See Miss Longueville, why can't you appreciate my beard like him? He treats me with respect and he isn't even human, you treat me like dirt and you're my secretary!"

"Because unlike him, I have to suffer your ridiculous antics everyday. Like this!" She exclaims as she grabs something moving under her chair before flinging it at the old man. Osmond catches the flying object easily and softly, revealing it to be a grey mouse. "Stop making your mouse look up my dress!"

"Humph, how barbaric. So, what was it?" Osmond asks to his mouse, which responded with a single squeak. "White again? Come now Miss Longueville, why do you never wear anything striped? Plain white panties just do not suit you."

"URGH!" The green haired secretary growls before turning away and slamming her head on her desk.

"Hmm, I dunno, I think grey fits her more. Ooh, grey under a black pantyhose!" Cell exclaims, making Miss Longueville and Louise look at him in shock.

"Hmm, you may be right about that. Or perhaps... dark green under a black pantyhose?" Osmond says, rubbing his chin.

"Or..." Cell leans closer to the old man. "LACY black... under a transparent grey pantyhose."

"Brilliant!" Osmond exclaims as he high fives with Cell.

"Oh Founder, there's two of them..." Longueville moans out pitifully.

Louise's eye twitches. "S-so, h-headmaster Osmond, why did you call for us in the first place?"

"Hmm? Now that you mention it I can't remember... oh right! Your room exploded. Don't do it again. It should be fixed by now, save for any of your personal belongings that were destroyed in the process." Osmond waved her off. "Now then, off you go, you're free now. Stop by again though, I would love to have another conversation with your familiar!"

"...okay..." Louise mutters as she stands up and marches out the door, Cell following behind her before he turned and waved at Osmond.

"See ya later!"

"Don't be a stranger!" Osmond responds before the two leave and shut the door.

Louise was walking straight to her room, Cell following behind her, his face grinning with amusement.

As soon as Louise entered the room, Cell following behind her, she shut the door, locked it, and turned to the bio-android with a furious expression. "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU!?"

"Oh come now mother-"

"Don't you 'mother' me! What in Brimir's name are you!? You're not a salamander, you're not an insect, you're some kind of... demon! Why the hell can you talk now, how did you turn into this and wh-"

"Boop." Cell said as he poked her nose with his finger. "Jeez you're loud."

"W-why-y-you-" Louise's eye twitched violently and she looked to be on the verge of exploding. Considering her track record, this could be literal and metaphorical.

"Alright, alright, I get it, explanations. Fine whatever, just sit down on your bed or something and I'll start talking." Cell rolled his eyes. Louise glared at him before sitting down on her bed, crossing her arms at him.

"Explain. Now."

"Righto. Well then, I should start by explaining that I'm not from around here."

"Oh gee, really? Never would have guessed." Louise quipped sarcastically.

"Ohoho, that's not even the weird part. I'm not from this WORLD. Hah? Bet THAT got your attention." Cell said, chuckling at her confused expression. "I'm from a world where magic... isn't really a thing. I mean, it is for some, but magic is a minority in a world where science is the dominant factor for humanity."

"What is this 'science' you speak of?"

"Oh now that's gonna take me all day to explain so I'll skip that. Basically, I come from a world where there's hardly any magic, mankind uses technolog-erm I mean, "Advanced non magical mundane tools" for nearly everything, and martial arts is a big trend. Oh, also, there're aliens from other planets and shit like that."

"A-aliens? F-from other... planets? You mean, from space?!" Louise exclaimed in shock.

"Yep, lots of them. And the really tough fighters and aliens can use this thing called 'Ki', which is basically your life energy used as a weapon of sorts. Helps you heal, lets you sense life, lets you fly, oh, and you can shoot lasers and blow stuff up too!"

"...so... like magic?"

"Eh, I guess." Cell shrugged.

"Okay... so, what are you then? An alien?" Louise asked. While most of what her familiar was saying sounded ludicrous, considering what she saw today, she believed it wasn't TOO farfetched.

"Close enough. I'm a bio-android, an artificial life form born from the mixed DNA of the galaxy's strongest warriors. I know all their techniques, their skills, fighting styles and even most of their memories! I'm the ultimate fighter, born to eradicate my creator's greatest enemy and then I will kill everyone on the entire planet!" Cell laughed loudly. Louise immediately paled at this. Cell then stopped and sighed a bit. "Or at least that WAS the plan until you summoned me."

"Eh?"

"I said I'm from another world, remember? Meaning, I'm in a different dimension with no enemy to kill, no creator to obey and an entire new world to explore. My original programming? Gone. You know what that means? It means I'm free to do whatever the fuck I want! All thanks to you, mother."

"Stop calling me that!" Louise says, inwardly relieved that Cell isn't planning to go on a mass killing spree.

"No can do, you're the one who said 'Come to mama'. I was in larval stage so that ingrained into my subconscious. Even if I want to, I'll get the urge to always address you as my mother. Mommy. Mama. Madre. Madonna?"

"Y-you're kidding right? Please tell me you're kidding!" Louise paled as she stares wide eyed at Cell.

"Trust me, you'd know if I was kidding. I've got a dark sense of humor. And a bright one too. And maybe an orange sense of humor." The insectoid familiar muses as he cups his chin thoughtfully.

"What the hell is an orange sense of humor supposed to be!?"

"Dunno, but you'll know it when you see it."

"That doesn't make sense!"

"Mother, you're living with me by your side now. Nothings ever gonna make sense from now on. For example, your height." Cell grinned.

"What." Louise's eye began to twitch again, her lids half closing.

"Far as I've seen, everyone here's what, sixteen? Fifteen? You can't be some kinda young prodigy skipping grades since I overhear everyone saying you fail your spells all the time, so you gotta be the same age as them. Meaning you're sixteen or so. So how the hell are you so tiny? That makes no sense! And that's what I'm talking about, nothings gonna make sense, and that's one of them."

"...Little Green?"

"Yeah?"

"Lean close for a second, I need to tell you something." Louise said quietly as she looked impassively at her familiar. Cell shrugged before leaning down, putting a hand up to where his ear is.

"What's u-"

A wand pressed up to his jugular.

"FIREBALL!"

Students and teachers alike groaned at the sound of yet another explosion.

#Hours later, night time#

Siesta was terrified. It was the end of her shift, so she was allowed to return to her quarters and rest for the night. But sleep never claimed her, instead she found herself huddled in a thick blanket, illuminated by candlelight only as she shivered.

Her worst fear was brought into existence today. Giant bug people. Person. Whatever.

That... not so little Green was terrifying. The rasp in his voice, the cold and predatory pink eyes, the tail that was sharp enough to pierce magical constructs, and huge sturdy wings that looked strong enough to block a dragon's flaming breath.

Little Green was a nightmare.

And the fact that he took a special interest in tormenting her today when he was still in his second stage of evolution only reminded her that he WILL most likely continue to do so.

Fearing for herself, her mind did what it always did when she's under stress.

Retreat to her adult literature books.

If Little Green wasn't going to kill her or eat her, maybe he was going to do other unspeakable things to her? That tail of his could probably double as a phallus as well, and his crotch strangely looked just like his mouth...

Siesta shook her head. While not many knew this, Siesta had a bit of a perverted mind, often finding herself fantasizing about incredibly inappropriate things, usually when under a lot of stress. It didn't help that most of the things she fantasized about involved her being on the submissive and usually non-consensual end of the stick.

"Now is not the time to think about that kind of stuff..." she muttered quietly.

"What kinda stuff?"

The raven haired maid blinked slowly before her head began to rotate to face the hulking insectoid being who was currently squatting on the floor, staring at her curiously.

"Hi."

Rather than scream, Siesta started shivering as her face grew deathly pale and she very slowly began to back away. "P-p-p-p-please d-don't e-e-eat me..."

"Eh, not hungry right now. Besides, you're not food, you're the one who feeds me." Cell deadpanned as his eyes turn half lidded. "Drinking you just seems counterproductive, and even if they assign another maid to replace ya, I like you."

"O-oh... okay..." Siesta slowly mumbled, feeling her heart rate slow down as she sighs a bit in relief, never taking her eyes off the elephant in the room.

"...you kinda sounded... disappointed for a moment there." Cell raised a green hairless brow as he stared at Siesta with amusement.

"W-what!?"

"Hey, I don't judge, some people are into vore, I get it. I'm into vore too actually, but that's a given when you've got a tail like mine. If you want we can work something ou-"

"Nononononono!" The maid exclaimed, shaking her head with a suspiciously bright blush, which is emphasized by her pale face as she backs even further to the edge of her bed.

"You sure? It'd probably be awesome!"

"S-s-shouldn't you be with lady Valliere?"

"Eh, she got tired from trying to kill me twice today so she hit the hay. Not literally, since the bale of hay she had in the corner of the room got incinerated from the first explosion, but you get the drill." Cell shrugged as he craned his head around, examining the room. "Gotta admit, didn't expect this place to give servants their own rooms. Pretty rich school huh?"

"S-speaking of which..." Siesta pulled her blanket tighter around her body as she stared warily at Cell. "H-how did you get in here?"

"Erm, I opened the door, and went in."

"B-but I locked it! A-and how come I didn't hear you?"

"Oh, I kinda melted the lock open. And you were too busy staring at the wall, muttering and mumbling about tentacles or tails or suctions cups or something. I dunno." The bio-android shrugged again as he gestured to the partially smoldering keyhole in the door.

"...p-please don't tell anyone."

"Scouts honor." Cell grinned as he saluted.

"W-what?"

"Eh, never mind. Now, back to the vore."

"I-I'm not interested!" She exclaimed with wide eyes as she hid under her blanket.

"You sure?"

"V-very sure!"

"Alright, but if you ever change your mind, just grab my tail whenever or something." Cell stood up slowly before walking to the door and exiting the room.

Siesta remained hiding under her blanket for the rest of the night.

Sleep never claimed her.

Strange fantasies however might have.

#the next day#

"What did you do?" Louise glared at Cell as she stood in front of him, the android lounging on a chair in the kitchen as he hungrily devoured all the leftover food given to him. Even though he had finally evolved, he still had an appetite and since he couldn't just go off and start absorbing humans (Well, he could, but then Louise would start panicking and complaining), he needed to keep eating as much food as possible.

"Whasha shalking boat?" He replied with his mouth full of fish bones and guts as he chewed and crunched the bones, despite having only four teeth, neither of which were molars.

"Don't speak with your mouth full, I raised you better than that." the pinkette snaps as she slaps one of Cell's cranial protrusions. He swallowed his food before staring half lidded at her.

"You've only had me for two days."

"Quiet you, mother knows best." Louise smirked as she saw Cell mutter to himself and concede to her point. Being acknowledged as his parent seems to make it easier to keep him civilized at least. "Anyhow, what did you do to Siesta?"

"What? What makes you think I did anything to her?"

A deadpan stare was the response he got.

"Okay okay, I paid her a visit at night. Wanted to creep her out, check to see how she was after fainting twice, had a little chat, then I left. Oh, I also melted her door's keyhole." Cell chirped before picking up a pig's intestines and slurping it down like spaghetti, which got him a disgusted grimace from Louise.

"...that's it?"

"Hmm?" Cell smacked his lips as he swallowed the internal organs. "Well yeah. That's it."

"Then why is she staring at you with red cheeks while hiding behind a corner?" Louise asked as her eyes moved to stare at something behind Cell. The android's eyes widened a bit before his head twisted 180 degrees rather sickeningly, just in time to catch sight of the raven haired maid ducking around a corner.

"...yeah, I might have insinuated that she was into vore play, and ended up hitting the nail on the donkey."

"What play?"

"Okay, so some people, mostly girls, get really turned on from the concept of being preyed on or swallowed whole by-"

"On second thoughts, I don't want to know. Just... don't traumatize her. I tolerate her better than the other maids so I'd rather have her keep her sanity for as long as I require her services. Brimir knows she'll need it..." Louise sighed, palming her face.

"You could've just said you liked her." Cell deadpanned.

"And you could've just been anything other than a giant petri dish of non-magical super soldiers from another world. Oh well, nobody's perfect..." Louise mutters as she turns around and walks out of the kitchen. Cell simply sat there, his jaw hanging a bit before he shook his head slowly.

"Oh that was a dick move, mother."

So yeah, hope y'all enjoyed that fic. I'm gonna update the cover image and post the full res of the new one on my deviantart. Just look for Hazama15. That's me.

Anyway, college is a pain, and its an art school, so all our work is practical. Life is tough, but we keep on trucking, yadda yadda yadda.

See you guys next time, just know I haven't forgotten any of you.
