This chapter will fucos to their arrival in the FoZ verse and how they will interact to will also know who the three individuals that summoned them there although you already know the one and maybe had a clue on the two.
Chapter 3:Arriving In The New Beginning
(Unknown Place)
"Owww...that hurts."Saito bumped on the ground as if he falls on a high place. When he regains himself he looks around and can't see anything,his surroundings was covered with thick smoke. He attempts to stand,touches the ground and felt the smooth grass.
'I'm on the ground?Did I slip into a teleportation device?I didn't remember that we manage to create one.'Those are questions that in young commander's mind. He quickly stands up and the smoke subsides seeing the area clearly,but what he sees that make his eyebrow raise in confusion. He saw a bunch of teenagers wearing some sort of school uniform with a cape,near him was a pink haired girl wearing the same attire as the others,ranting in a language which he suspects a french but an ancient one in front of a bald man that looks like in his 40's wearing an eyeglasses and holding a staff. Saito then notices the structures around the place that looks like a fancy medieval recoinnasance era type buildings.
"Professor let me try it again pleeease!There must be a mistake!"The pinkette pleading at the bald man.
"Now now Louise,I can't allow you to do that,this is a time long tradition,you can't just summon another because you don't like the first one."The bald man replies on her that appears to be there professor. The crowd of students bursts into laughter maybe at the pink haired girl that must be did something funny,then one of the students in the crowd spokes,coming from the red haired woman with a tan colored skin has a disturbingly bigger breast amongst the female students and an endowed attractive body that any pervert man will never leave their eyes on it.
"Ahahahahah what is this,Louise the zero summons a commoner as a familiar. Oh Louise your killing me. You never betrayed our expectations when it comess to you."Said the red haired girl to the pinkette in a bullying manner.
"YOU SHUT UP there Zerbst you big breast cow!"The pinkette now known as Louise yells and at the same time irritates at red haired woman making fun of her. On the other hand Saito is being confused on what's happening and where is he. The students are currently laughing at the pink haired student,the commander doesn't know what's the regretted himself now that he didn't even tried to learn french language as he only studies some asian languages,also english,latin,spanish,deutch,and rusik. But the main problem in him now is that where in the world is he and who are these people. The commander looks carefully at these people and he notices that they resembles like a Harry Potter characters if the sticks they holding is a wand in any indication but what caught his attention are the creatures accompanied each student much to his shock if it doesn't his sights being fooled him he just looks on some sort of mythical creatures especially he stared at the blue dragon and a floating big eyeball creature that he only sees from fairytale books.
'Where really am l?!'He thought aloud,in order to clear his mind in train of questions,he decided to speak in english in hoping that they are familiar with it.
"Excuse me,ummm...can anyone of you tell me where am I ?"He asked.
"Oh look,zero's familiar speaks albionese,although he doesn't look like albionese."One of the students said as all of them stops laughing at the pinkette and switch there attention to Saito.
"Now Louise,please seal the contract and let's finish this summoning ritual. I know that summoning a human as a familiar is somewhat...new to us but their's no other choice than this."The bald professor said to the pinkette wanting to finalize the ritual event. The girl hive up as she left no option but to accept it.
"Hey,did you understand me?HELLOOO."Saito tries to communicate again on this these people.
"Uugh...shut your mouth commoner!You should be grateful because not all commoners gets oppurtunity to serve a noble."The pinkette then suddenly grabs him down and immediately kissed him in the lips,due to Hiraga's confusion of the transpiring events he didn't manage to resist at the pink haired girl's action and only being surprise from the unexpected kiss. After the kiss,the commander flinches and blurted out at the pink haired girl.
"WHAT THE HECK IS THA-ooww..."He didn't got to finish his sentences when he suddenly feels a burning sensation on his right hand makes him gritted his teeth,his left hand glows but fades away in a moment together with the pain. Only surprise to see that his right hand already had a sort of inscribed runes in unknown letters. The bald professor sees it while fixing his eyeglasses and recognise the runes is different but somewhat familiar to him.
"Umm..excuse me,can I have a look at it?"The professor said at Saito looking on his hand with runes. Saito looks at the professor that also looking into his hand with weird letters,knowing what the bald man wants he let him inspect his hand. After the inspection,the professor thanked him and then wave at the students to leave as the show is over.
"Come on here you stupid commoner."Louise madly ordered the commander to follow her. Saito twitch his eyesbrows at the pinkette's manner showing that she wants him to follow her but still the commander choose to obey it as there's no available choices for him in this situation,he decides to search for his answers later but first he needs to understands everything here.
(At the Unknown Garden)
Zarić doesn't know whats going on,recently she was in Chernobyl fighting futuretech army and waiting the nearly doomed reactor to explode that supposedly killed her,but a green bright oval anomaly accompanied by a strange voice appeared in front of her and sucks her in. Today she was in a totally different wherever place that the strange anomaly brings her. She surveys around and saw the surroundings around her is somewhat peaceful to see,beautiful pond lake,smooth breeze of wind,garden full of flowers and a structural balcony area that based on a medieval era design,definitely on what she saw,she was in paradise.
'Is this heaven?Not so much to be expect.'Zarić thought to herself,then she feels their's someones staring at her. She turns around and locks her sight at the two strangers. These two persons were females looking at her with a shocked look on there faces,one is a short purplish hair wears a princess outfit with a cape holding a scepter with a small crown on her head,other one has a short yellow hair also with a cape and a sword on her waist and a musket pistol on the other side. The woman with a weapons is now on alert as she readying her sword on any threatening occasion.
"Who are you?!Identify yourself!"The yellow haired woman speaks in authority tone on the soviet general. Zarić hears the woman speaking french but an old dialect one,thankfully she understands it as she knows how to speak french especially it's ancient dialects because she studied all european languages.
"Stand down Agnes,we cannot afford to raise a fight here in the palace backyard."The princess ordered the woman now named Agnes to stand down.
"But your highness,we don't know who is this woman and how did she get here."Agnes replied back as she still aware at the strange woman in front of them.
"No,I think I already know why she suddenly appears here."The princess said to Agnes as she continues.
"Because she's the one that I summoned."Agnes disbelievingly stared at the princess on what she heard and replied back.
"Your highness how is that possible,I'm no mage but I'm surely know that in past milleniums there's no records of a mage summoned a human as a familiar."Agnes said in desbelief.
"I know that Agnes but you see what happens right. She just emerged when I cast the summoning spell to call a familiar so I believe it's her although it's unconventional but theres nothing to be explain of why she just appear here."After the long explanation of the princess,Agnes thought about it has a sense after all. Theres no other explanation on how that strange woman suddenly appears except that she has been summoned here. Her mind made up a conclusion and decide not to show hostile to this stranger. While Agnes and the princess are arguing,the general on the other part was trying to communicate her army,but it's effortless. No one response on the other line as if theres no one on the other line,look's like the communication is offline or doesn't exist. Realizing that her communicating is not bearing fruit she decides to stop operating her communicator. The princess slowly walks towards the general with Agnes still on alert for any movement of hostility that will came from Zarić. The two stops in front of Zarić and the princess starts to speak unto her.
"Umm..hello there,I know you still wandering of what's happening but I can enlighten you about it,by the way let me introduce myself. I'm princess Henrietta de Tristain of the kingdom of Tristain and I summoned you here as my familiar."The princess now named as Henrietta introduce herself at the general. Zarić twitched her eyebrows on what she heard that this woman claims herself as the princess of this Tristain or whatever kingdom it is as Zarić surely never heard of it or that kingdom ever exist and most of all she's been summoned by her as a familiar?
"Is this some kind of a joke young lady?What kingdom of Tristain are you talking about and what is this you summoned me as a familiar?Sorry but April fools is over so tell me me where really am I."The general said with a tone of annoyance in the princess.
"April...fools?"The princess confused.
"Watch your manners you undiciplined woman!Your currently in front of her highness,show some respect!"Agnes yells out on Zarić.
"Calm down Agnes,this must be a misunderstanding."Henrietta calming her down.
"You know princess wannabe,I have no time for games so just tell me where exactly I am."Zarić demanded.
"As I said before,youre here in the country of Tristain. You're exactly here at the royal palace grounds. Why you don't know about this country."Henrietta asks in confusion of why this woman doesn't know about tristain.
"Your highness,maybe she cames from the land far away from here or very far than Rub'akali."Agnes intervenes and informs the princess about the possibility. The general now really annoyed and pissed to this princess saying but still calming herself. Feeling some sense of sincere to this girl's claiming about,she comes up with an idea to play along with these people.
"Okay...let's say I'll buy your words,so...where exactly this Tristain nation?"
"It's located in the mainland continent of Halkeginia."Henrietta replies.
"And what is this you summoned me here as your familiar?"Zarić asks her again.
"Yes,I believe that I summoned you here,I've been performing a summoning ritual spell to make me summons an animal creature to be my familiar that will going to serve and protect me but instead I never expected that you're the one that I summoned."Henrietta explains to her on how she end up here. Zarić thinks deeply about it,theirs no other explanation on how she got here except on the princess statement. Her thoughts divided into two sides as she will believe it or not but she remembers something. The voice of this princess is familiar to her,it's the same voice that she hears on the Chernobyl.
"You said spell right?So you mean you are a mage or a witch?"Zarić asks still not convinced by the princess story.
"No I'm not a witch,but yes I'm a mage."Zarić disbelief grows bigger as she not only hears that this girl claimed herself as princess but now a mage.
"Your highness,I think we should continue this conversation inside the palace,were taking too long here outside."Agnes said offers to resume talking inside.
"Your right Agnes,we must continue this chat inside."Then Henrietta turns to Zarić.
"If you like let's continue this inside shall we?" Henrietta asks the general.
"Alright,lead the way."Zarić complies and the three went inside the palace.
(In Unknown Deep Forest Area)
On the deep forest in the floating island country of Albion just outside the mainland continent of Halkeginia,in a house hidden inside the forest leaves a certain blonde hair woman with pointy ears and a well-endowed body together with some orphaned childrens is now watching the girl outside enchanting a spell for a familiar summoning ritual. Her older mage sister teaches her how to summon a servant creature as a familiar and she decided to summon a familiar to help her in daily lives and also assist in tending the childrens. After she finish the spell and cast it,a bright green light appears. The light becomes larger and the bright flash engulfs the place making the girl and the childrens watching the phenomena unfolds shield there eyes at the flashing light. The light slowly subsides and what reveals for the girl makes her eyes widen.A giant steel carriage painted in shades of blue emerged from the light.
The woman felt sadness that she only summons a large carriage but being curious to booth. She never see this kind of steel cased carriage before,forging in good quality unknown metals,and has multiple wheels under with some sort of chains attach on it. The orphans gleaming there eyes in excitement are now running outside the house to get close picture of what just their big sister summons. The girl tries to ease the kids that starts poking and playing around the carriage when one of the kids accidentally opens the door of the steel carriage and the next thing occurs was a thud on the ground. The kids are urgely screams at the man that suddenly falls insentient on the ground came from the opened door of the carriage. The girl runs at the fainted man and then kneeled down to check it's pulse. Their's a response on the pulse indicating that he is alive only lost consciousness,then the girl requested from the kids to help her carry this man inside the house.
(Hours Later)
"Auuugh...where am I?"Stanford wakes up and regained his consciousness,as he adjust his sights around it was dark,realizing that it was already nighttime and he's on the bed. Last thing he remembers that he was being knockout by the green shockwave that overwhelms the MCV were he was in. Then the door of the room opens causing the commander turned his look at the blonde hair woman that enters the room.
"Ummm...hi,good evening."The woman said with carefree tone.
"Hello there..where am I?"Stanford asks the blondie.
"Um..your at our orphanage house. The kids saw you fainted inside your steel carriage."The woman replies and explains to him.
"What do you mean steel carriage?"Stanford confusingly ask the girl.
"Umm..your steel blue carriage,It's right over there,outside our house."The blonde girl pointed out at the window which besides his bed. He look at the window and It's already night but he could clearly see whats outside thanks to the illumination of the moon,surprise to see the MCV he was in before parked outside. His gaze then turned to the night sky and a big shock formed to his face. He rubs his eyes to confirm if he is hallucinating only to see the same sighting,seeing a two moons in the sky one big blue and one small red is a incredulous view to see. He turns to asks the woman about this.
"W-why is there two moons?Where is this place?"Questions that spouts out on the commander still disbelieving he saw.
"I...don't get what your implying,theres really two moons up in the sky,and...your currently at the country of Albion.A floating island nation in the sky outside the mainland continent of Halkeginia."The blonde hair girl replies. Stanford stunned on the big revelation he heard,although he don't want to buy it,the fact that there are two moons up in the sky clearly states that...he is in another world. On where he came from,theres only a single moon. He never heard of this Albion country before and a floating island to booth which is impossible especially this halkeginia continent as there is no continent named like that in his world. All of that thoughts are now running through his head makes him confuse in this scenario.
"How...do I get here?"The only sentence the commander manage to say after the discovery that he was no longer in his world.
"Ummmm...I summoned you here."The girl answered his question with a bit of hesitation then Stanford looks at him with his eyebrow raised.
"I'm so sorry,I don't intend to summoned you. I'm just performing a familiar summoning ritual spell to summons me a familiar that will help and protect me also to be a friend. I'm expecting an animal creature to be summoned because that it was suppose to be,but instead...I summoned you...sorry."The girl explained her side and gesturing a sorry bow in front of the commander. As she bows down,a strands of her hair that covers her ears sways down revealing her pointy ears.
"Y-you have pointy ears!?"Stanford stammered on what he see. The girl reacted and immediately covered her ears with a terrified expression.
"I'm sorry...I-I don't want to angered you because I'm an elf. I wanted...to tell you about this in the first place but...I'm scared to say it..."The girl said scarely.
'She's an elf?Okay,looks like I don't surprise anymore after all of this.'Stanford thought to himself and then said to the elf girl.
"Don't worry,It's not a big deal to me."Stanford said to her and the girl slowly regains her cheerful smile.
"Really!Umm..I mean thank you."The elf girl said with beautiful smile that will make disturb any man.
"Um..my name is Tiffania Westwood,nice to meet you."The elf now known as Tiffania introduce herself.
"Thank you for saving me miss Tiffania.I owe you my life. If you not summoned me,I'm dead back where I came from and because of that I will serve you in exchange."Stanford express his gratitude of thanks.
"You will!I-I mean thank you."Tiffania said happily.
"Yes,though Iooks like I can't go back anymore. I pledge my services to you in exchange of my debt for saving my life,by the way I'm commander Peter Rodriguez Stanford,supreme commander of the allies."And the commander introduces himself.
(At The Royal Palace Of Tristain)
"I can't believe this,but it's reality."Zarić mutters still thinking of what she realize. All of that absurdity the princess told her was holding a truth. She really can't believe this,she is not in her world anymore. On a balcony at the guest room of the palace,the soviet general contemplates on her sit of what's the next course of action she will do regarding this while looking at the two moons in the night sky.
"Sigh"I think I should apologize to the princess on what I said recently."Putting up her decision,she stands up and goes to the door exiting the guest room. Walking through the hallway leading to the princess room,she notices the furnitures,designs,and displays of this place has the same resemblance of her own world medieval to renaissance era time period. Based on the information she obtained on her brief talk with the princess a few hours ago,they are somewhat backwards in all things,no electricity,no mechanical transportations,and no technological advancement. This world only fucoses and emphasizing more in magic though she could not believe in magic but after the demonstration the princess showed on her,she takes long time to absorb all she witnesses. She stop in her train of thoughts as she is now in front of a luxurious double door guarded by Agnes that according to the princess was her chief bodyguard and a leader of this musketeer corps. Before she could state her business there,Agnes speaks first.
"Ah,finally your here,her highness is waiting for you."Agnes said to Zarić causing the general to raise her one Agnes entered the room while gesturing to Zarić to just wait outside,after a few moments,Agnes goes out of the room while leaving the door open and told the general.
"I already informed to her highness,you can go inside now."Agnes step aside to clear the way and Zarić enters the room. When Alena is inside the room,Agnes closes the door. The general looks around the room to find the princess until she found her at the balcony.
"Miss Zarić thank goodness you are here."Henrietta smiles and said to the general.
"Princess,I am here to apologize to my rudeness before,sorry if I don't believe you."Zarić apologize to the princess.
"It's alright now,It's only a the way,where did you come from?"Henrietta accepts her apology and followed by a question. Alena takes a deep breath before she answers.
"You know princess,It may sound absurd but I came from another world."Zarić states and answers the question. Henrietta surprise to her answer and said.
"What do you mean youre not from this world?"Henrietta confused.
"Princess from where I came from there's only one moon in the sky and thats surely makes my theory that I'm no longer in my world."Zarić said to the princess about her world.
"Thats...strange..only one moon?"Henrietta wondered.
"Yes,thats the reason why I have no knowledge on this place."Zarić said to her.
"I...understand.I'm sorry if I take you from your home,I didn't intend to summoned you,I've expecting to summon an animal of some sort to be my familiar."Henrietta said felt sad to the general.
"It's alright princess. In fact,I was suppose to thank you because of that. Back in my world I was in a dying situation,but then suddenly you summoned me here. Thank you princess,I was still alive because of you."Zarić said and thanked the princess.
"I-I save you?"Henrietta said bit surprised.
"Yes ma'am,and for the exchange of saving my life,from now on I will pledge my services to you. Looks like I'm no longer can go back to my world now,thats the only purpose I can do."The general now announced her services to her and the princess was glad to hear that.
"Thank you,I'm glad to hear that."Henrietta expresses her gratitude and then continues.
"Yes,I accept your services,I thought it will be hard for me to get wait a positive response on you but...still,we haven't finish the summoning ritual..yet. Theres...only one thing that needs...to be done. We need to..seal the contract."Henrietta said with a bit of hesitation.
"Is that so?...Very well let's seal the contract."Zarić said and asks.
"Alright...is their a the paper that need to be sign?"Zaric asked.
"Uhmm...theres no paper need to be signed."Henrietta said now with a bit flustered face.
"Okay...so what we need to do?"Zarić confusingly asks while seeing the change mood of the princess. Henrietta with a fluster face steps close to the general and her face is now 5 inches away from Zarić face.
"S-sorry for this..."Henrietta said caused Zarić to be wondered. Then without warning the princess kissed the general in the lips. In just a seconds,Zarić eyes widened and flinches out,take a step back due to the unexpected action the princess did.
"W-what the hell is tha-eeeerrgh."She didn't finish her words when she suddenly feels a screeching pain to her left hand. She's currently holding her left hand with her right hand,gritting her teeth to the burning pain and only disappears in just a moment. Recovering from it,she notices her left hand that was in pain recently was now has some inscribed letters on it.
"That's the contract seal...sorry for what I did before,that is how suppose to do."Henrietta said embarassingly while Zarić shot looking at her and then sighs.
"Next time princess just tell me if you do something rude."Zarić said sternly.
"A-alright...I'll remind it."Henrietta said and smiled nervously on Zarić.
"Princess if we are done here,may I go back to my room now?"Zarić asks Henrietta for her leave.
"Okay,you may leave now."Henrietta grants her request,with that Zarić gestured a bow and made her way back to her room.
"A woman...a woman stole my first kiss dammit!"Zaric curses to that predicament.
(At Tristain Academy Of Magic)
"Okay,stay still."Louise said to Saito while performing a kind of spell while the commander crosses his arms only looking curiously at her. Then she points her wand stick at Saito and the next thing happens was a bright explosion covers the commander.
"Cough","cough".. !...What the heck is that!"Saito shouts at the pinkie after the sudden explosion hits him that looks like someone throws a grenade on his face.
"Wha-how dare you shouting some vulgar words at me familiar."Louise yells back to the shogun commander until she realizes something.
"Oh,wait,I can clearly understand you like I cast the translation spell correctly."The girl said.
"Translation spell?Wait..I can understand you now?"Saito also said to the pinkette.
"Alright commoner,since you can already understand me now-."The pinkie then spread her arms and continues.
"-change my clothes."She finished.
"Hell no."Saito simply said to the pinkette.
"Wha-HOW DARE YOU to disobey me commoner!"Louise yells on the imperial commander.
"Your too old enough to change your clothes and most of all,are you seriously you want me to dress you?"Saito retorted.
"This can't be..theres no way a familiar objects his masters orders."Louise said.
"Well of course,I have a freewill to choose whether I follow it or not."Saito nonchalantly said.
"Grrrr..you disobey meee!"Louise then goes to her drawer and pull out something there,then she goes back and already holding a stick on her hands.
"I will discipline you!"Louise shouts and lands a hit using her stick to the commander but only simply catches in hand by commander Saito now looking grimly at her.
"You know spoiled brat,if you want someone to obey you,try to gain there respect first."Saito said in a sterned voice while his grimly intimidating looks darts out on Louise. Fear runs through Louise as she terrified to the commander like she was seeing a face of a predator ready to pounced it's prey. She was resisting while the commander still holding on her stick and then loose her grip on it resulting her stick in Saito's possession. Saito then breaks the stick using only his two fingers and falls it to the floor. Saito turns away and was going to exit the room,holding the doorknob and opens the door he was being stop by Louise.
"Wait where do you think youre going?"Louise said at the commander.
"Outside,I want to ease the tension here."Saito said as he went out and shut the door. Walking through the hallway,Saito ponders of what just the pink haired girl claims about,magic exist,kingdom of Tristain,continent of Halkeginia,and he summoned to be her familiar,although the girl tried to speaks english or albionese of what the pinkette called it she has a bit of problem to tell everything. All of that was beyond unbelievable in reality but theirs a side of him wants to believe it as this place he was now feels different compared in where he came from after he saw some mythical creatures earlier that only exist in fictional stories,he is now suspecting in a one big theory. As he walks on the corridors he saw two students,a blonde boy flirting into a brown haired girl on the side,he just ignored and pass it as he continues his way outside the building,went outside and looks up at the night sky,seeing the two moons.
"My guess is right,I'm in another world and dimension."Saito mutters as he finally confirmed the revelation. He walks through the school grounds thinking of his next action as theirs no way of possibility of returning back to his world. Saito stops in his tracks and saw a maid based on her clothing carrying a laundry. Decided to make an interaction he approach the maid and offers a help.
"Good evening miss,need some help?"Saito greets the maid.
"I know you,you must be the rumored commoner that summons to be a familiar by a mage."The maid said identifies the man greeted her.
"Um...maybe?So may I help you?"Saito replies and offers his help.
"It wouldn't be a problem to your master?You should be with her."The maid said.
"Nah,she doesn't care about it."Saito coolly replied on her. The two made a conversation as they are washing the clothes. The maid named Siesta as she introduces herself to the commander explains everything to Saito about this world,it's culture,and traditions. On the information Saito obtained from Siesta,he learned that this world is backward and primitive in so many ways. It's resembles into 16th century folks back in his world,although with addition of magic and some fantasy beings. He also learns about the neighbouring nations and the kind of government system that runs this place,nobles ruled over peasantry?Sounds like a caste system back home eventhough his country is ruled by an emperor still it has a difference when it comes to governing because he also learns that the church in this world has a big influence about this current system of this world.A quite lengthy talk pass as the two finishes the laundry. Then Saito asks Siesta.
"So Siesta,what is your last name?"Saito asked.
"I have none."Siesta replies.
"What?You have no last name?"Saito said being confuse of Siesta has no family name.
"Yes but the truth is I have one,but due to the rules that only nobles has rights to bear last name not commoners so I did not use it."Siesta explains the reason of having not using her last name.
"Really?Damn so unfair for the system of this world."Saito said and felt sympathize to the maid smiles at her as she's stand up and prepares the finished laundry.
"Thank you for the help ,I will take it from here. Your master must be looking for you now."Siesta thanked and bows at Saito.
"Your welcome and you don't need to bow,I'm no noble so no need for formalities."Saito said to her and he stands up and continues.
"So see you tommorow miss Siesta."Saito said and the maid replies the same. As the two seperates and go to there respective way,Saito thinks about the maid,her features is somewhat familiar to him but he decided to think it later. Instead of going back to Louise room,Saito decides to climb up to the roofs of the school laying down here as he looking to the clear night sky and thinks something.
"It's comfirmed,I'm not in my world anymore. God give me second chance huh."Saito mutters and pull out the shrink M.C.V from his pocket.
'Hmmm...so what I'm gonna do?'Saito thought to himself as he tinkering the MCV,then he marks his decision.
"Okay maybe I will assist that girl and help her to become a good noble someday,she's the one who save my life after all,if she not summons me here I might not be alive now."Saito muttered as he thinks about that annoying little pinkie and turns the MCV back to his pocket.
'Looks like I have a hard time to change her attitude and get adapt on it.'Saito thought and contemplates as the slumber claims him.
