Candidate Rebirth
AN: Should the goddesses be able to grant longevity to their favorite humans, as a side effect of fighting next to said goddeses? If people hate this idea I'm gonna have to drop a plot idea.
AN2: I wonder whether I should have Dumbledore suggest Chloe confront Petunia, perhaps with Vert later for both closure, and his belief in forgiveness.
AN3: slight bit of bashing of two chars I honestly think don't have a brain cell between them.
AN4: I'm putting Gameindustry tech quite a bit higher than ours.
Chapter 8: Morning after and training.
It was breakfast the day after the shopping trip, and Cyberconnect2 had joined the sisters for breakfast, as she often did.
"So sister, what was your first impression of your new school's world?" Chika asked.
"Primitive," Chloe answered. "I didn't see the non-magical side, as the magical side seems to be separated from it, and we weren't allowed to explore, but I would assume that they are pretty far behind us as well. The magical side seems to have no technology, not even a speck of magitech."
Vert frowned, and replied, "I got that impression from the old man, I had simply hoped that it was his age giving him trouble adapting to new technology, but to hear his society has none, it explains a lot."
"I picked up a lot of books as well, oddly there were no books on laws there. It was almost as if they were setting up newcomers to fail, and possibly get arrested. I will contact the law enforcement offices to see whether I can obtain one."
Cyberconnect2 chipped in, "I concur about Chloe's observations, and would also like to point out, that they don't seem to have much medical knowledge, simply throwing magic at things to make them better, they still use pewter with lead in it for Green Heart's sake! For potions that people drink!"
Vert was amused to the expletive that came from her friend's mouth, and then asked, "Anything else?"
"Yes, The man Dumbledore sent was rather rude, in public. I had to stop a mob from lynching him. I also seem to have inherited my previous life's wealth, and have the same birthday, so funding there will not be a problem, when I get my keys I will hand them to Chika, so she can pick up stuff for you to look at or read," Chloe said, finishing her observations, or at least she meant to, but something else occurred to her. "The bank is run by goblins, and monsters seem to be either nonexistent, or very rare. I will need to come back often to keep my level up, and to get stronger."
"Dumbledore said he would allow you to come back as needed, so that shouldn't be a problem." Vert replied, waiving concern away.

Fawkes gave a birdy frown, the amount of work he sensed in his future was going to be troublesome...
Wait, there was that one weird sister of his, the one that managed to be able to become a kind of girl/phoenix hybrid. She's been really board lately, and was looking for someone to bond to for a bit. He could ask her to take care of that odd girl, after all, humans only live for one or two hundred years, it would alleviate the boredom his cousin has, and give the girl transportation, that he would only have to take over after burning days.
He flamed out to ask the other bird brain that's on his mind if she's interested.

A wandmaker was cackling, the wand he's making would be legendary in the right hands.
The same muggleborn from last time wet his pants and ran away... again.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.
"Enough with the sidetracking Kithrin, get back to the story," Neptune admonished, and wondered why she hadn't made an appearance yet.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.
A month later, Chloe was looking for platform nine and three-quarters with her partner. Both of them were getting some really odd looks, and lots of muttering about cosplayers. Chloe's eyes locked on a family of robed redheads, the apparent mother of which was shouting about the platform she was looking for, and about muggles.
Chloe was fortunate that she saw another redhead, a female that didn't look related to the others, walk through the pillar between platforms nine and ten.
As she passed the red headed woman, her arm was grabbed, and Chloe said, "Let go, or else."
"Young lady, you shouldn't make threats like that, I'm just trying to YARG!" the woman started, only to end in a scream of pain, as Chloe grabbed the arm that was on hers with her other arm, and started to apply pressure. The woman soon let go before the bones in her arm was crushed.
"Thank you, let's go CC," the candidate said as she carried her trunk through the barrier.
CC or Cyberconnect2 glared at the other woman before following her partner of nearly five and a half years.
The red headed children were glaring at the back of the two attractive girls, upset that they had hurt their mother.
Of course neither of the two females had even noticed the glares, or would've been particularly upset if they had.
Of course the issue was compounded when a police officer approached the woman holding her hurting arm, and asked, "Why were you, someone obviously not related to the child, grabbing the child's arm?"
The thought of the woman, Well Crap...

Finding an empty compartment was easy, as the train was never more than half full, and both of them pulled out their state of the art, as of last week anyway, gaming laptops, with attached dimensional wireless, and booted up Four Goddess Online to play until they reach the school. They decided to play without the VR headsets so that they could pay attention to what's around them.
They were joined later by a fellow blonde that started reading a magazine upside down.
The compartment door opened an hour later to reveal a blonde boy, that was close to Chloe's physical age, whom looked at the occupants with a sneer, as he didn't anyone that was close to looking like what he assumed the girl he was looking for would look like.
"More mudbloods," he commented as if he smelled something particularly unpleasant.
Chloe, engrossed in her game ignored the very rude person whom just insulted her, until he tried to knock her computer away, and then she simply swatted his arm lightly, for her anyway.
The boy was about to order his minions to attack, when another voice interrupted, saving the trio from broken bones, and possibly worse.
"What are you doing here deatheater?" the voice sounded, it was coming from a redheaded boy around the same age as the blonde.
"If it isn't the now youngest weasel, still mourning the death of your blood traitor sister?" the blonde boy sneered.
Chloe snapped her computer closed. Her temper roused she was about to put the boy in his place when the other boy told of a plan that pissed her off more, something the blonde boy claimed that HE was going to do. She also started recording using her Leanphone, following her instincts.
While she was distracted setting up the recording devices she missed some of the boy's conversation, only registering the words when she had finished setting up her Leanphone.
"I'm going to marry a goddess, well she will be once her sister is dead, and then I will rule her nation, as I'm obviously more suited for it!" the redheaded boy said.
"Why would she marry a person from your worthless family? I will be the one to rule this... Leanbox, my father will be departing to speak with the candidate's sister as soon as possible to arrange it."
Chloe narrowed her eyes and put in her two cents, to try and get a handle on the two, and to get enough evidence to have them banned from Leanbox at the very least, "And why exactly would she marry either of you? I mean she lives in an entirely different dimension, so neither of you has wealth, or influence that could convince her, or her sister, to consider marring you."
"And what would a mudblood know? The Malfoy family is both rich, and influential. Another world or not that will always be true."
"My family has close ties to Dumbledore, that alone will be worth more than the Malfoy family."
Chloe sighed, and said, "Then why don't you argue elsewhere? Your disturbing us," Chloe said sternly while unpacking her computer, again, and restarting her game, ignoring their scuffle outside her compartment, that was broken up by some older students.
It was two hours later, when something else happened. The windows started frosting over, and the blonde girl with the magazine started whimpering. Chloe herself was starting to feel colder as her buried insecurities, that she had pretty much got over, came to the surface.
The door opened and some thing in a cloak, started to come in.
at this time Chloe was pissed, and started chanting a spell, that she hadn't mastered quite yet to the point of not needing a chant, like she did for her lower powered spells, "Lances of light, impale and purify, SACRED LANCE!"
As she finished, fancy spears of light impaled the thing, causing it to give off an unholy screech... and then collapse into a foul smelling puddle of slime.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.
Outside, in the corridor, a middle aged ragged man had finished chasing off several dementors, and was turning around to do the same with the one behind him, when he saw it impaled by spears of light, and then melt. A ball of fire then hit the slime causing it to briefly burn, until there was nothing left. A green hooded head poked out and looked round, and upon finding nothing else amiss, went back in and slammed the door.
The man just stood there scratching his head in shock, he had just seem a girl less than half his age kill a dementor, something that to his considerable dark creature knowledge, has never been done. Just who, or what, was she?"
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.
Upon reentering her compartment she saw that the girl whom had joined them was still shivering, and moved next to her with an inviting crook of her arm.
The girl almost leaped into Chloe's lap and started cuddling like her life depended on it due to the memories that thing brought up.
The door opened again and a well worn man poked his head in. he then chucked a bar of chocolate at each of the girls telling them that it was the best thing after dementor exposure.
It was unfortunate that Chloe hated the stuff, so she gave the crying girl in her lap a double bar.
The rest of the train ride proceeded smoothly.
When they arrived at their destination, the trio had to separate, with Chloe and Cyberconnect2 having to go to a boat, with them having their own. CC was relatively dry because Chloe had handed her one of her spare cloaks, which it only made sense to her for them to be waterproof, and have as high defense as possible. With her shrunken trunk around her neck, as she had, when she went to get her wand, had the feature added.
Chloe was also on alert for more of those monsters she killed on the train, and wasn't that a shock, a actual steam powered locomotive. She was used to high speed international bullet trains that could've made the trip in less than a quarter of the time.
It baffled her that the purebloods thought they were the peak of civilization.
The boat ride was uneventful, unless you count an excitable boy falling in and getting rescued by a giant squid. The water-bombing poltergeist was rather irritating but the cloaks kept the two that were away from their reality relatively dry, much to the envy of the other first years.
After they were let in, the ghosts came, and put the two on guard, until they determined they were harmless. Chloe took this chance to send an audio file to her sister.
Then they were let into the great hall, and the new students were told to try the hat on one at a time, and were sent into different houses.
After the eleven year olds were sorted the old man in charge of the school stood up and said, "Today, out school is receiving a unique student, a Goddess Candidate from another Dimension. I would like all of you to give a warm welcome to the Goddess Candidate of Leanbox, Chloe, and her Partner/bodyguard Cyberconnect2. They don't expect you to treat the differently than any other student, but due to their greater age some of the first year restrictions have been lifted, Now will Chloe come up and be sorted?"
Chloe walked up, and two boys started choking on air, as they realized that they had admitted that they were planning on killing the Goddess of Leanbox, in front of the very person they were both claiming that they would marry.
The blonde girl on the other hand was happy, she had cuddled a goddess! She then wondered whether if she had groped said goddess whether that would count as a heaven's feel?
Chloe put the hat on her head and she heard a voice in her head.
"Well, what do we have here? A potential Goddess? No more like a lesser one, despite your title.
Now where to put you. Your studies are focused on learning so you can use the knowledge, not looking into it for knowledge's sake.
Brave? Oh my yes, fighting monsters, but then you are very powerful, and cautious not to bite off more than you can chew.
Friendly? Yes, still shy, but you make friends relatively easily, and are very loyal to those whom you think deserve it, and... wow you are really hard working aren't you?
You are pretty cunning, but you have nearly no ambition."
"So, where are you going to put me?" Chloe asked, getting a little tired of the psychoanalysis.
"Well there's only one place for you..." the hat sent back, then opened it's 'mouth' and said...
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.
Dark lord Cliffy strikes again!
And yes I'm serious, but not Sirius.
