Important, because we actually go to Luna Nova, the school in Little Witch Academia this chapter, because it's my story, and I can write whatever I want. So enjoy guys!
-Aftermath-
~Shadows of Light~
A girl opened the front door of her home, the sun shining brightly behind her, illuminating Daybreak Town, the waters of the fountain shining brightly, as she stepped inside her home. She had a pale complexion, with dark brown hair that stretched to her mid back, she had cinnamon colored eyes, that seemed to glow red in the right light.
She was dressed in a school uniform, white dress shirt, with dress pants, a tan vest, with a bright, shining red tie around her neck. She narrowed her eyes, as she examined her home, closing the door behind her.
"Tanner. Why are you here?" She asked, as she walked into her front room, gripping her school bag. Tanner was there, smiling brightly at her, dressed similarly, with shorter hair.
"You noticed me."
"Of course I did. What are you doing here?" She asked, as she placed her bag down on her coffee table, a Chirithy materialized in a poof of smoke, and greeted her.
"I wanted to see you Stella, how are you? Excited to graduate?" Tanner asked, Stella narrowed her eyes at him, as they flashed red for a moment.
"Tanner, quit with the pleasantries. You never visit unless you've got something important to say to me." Stella said, Tanner nodded.
"Right, well… Theres this meeting with all fledgling Keyblade Craftsman, thought I would invite you to it." Tanner told her, Stella nodded.
"I see, I would like to attend."
"Care if I see your latest masterpiece?" Tanner asked, Stella hummed.
"Fine, I'll show you." Stella said, as she reached into her bag, her fingers ghosting over several Keychains, before grabbing her newest creation. She pulled it out of her bag, and summoned the Key in a flash of Light. Tanner smiled as he saw Oathkeeper shining in the light.
"What's it called?"
"Oathkeeper. It was a commission for Meredith. Though I don't know what a half baked wielder like her could do with it." Stella said, there was no malice in her voice, she was just being realistic.
"I'm sure she could do great things." Tanner noted, before he smiled. "Okay, I'm satisfied. I'll see you around Stella Crystal Hart." Tanner exclaimed with an exaggerated wave, as he made his way out of the house. Stella glared after him.
"What a weirdo." She muttered, as she examined Oathkeeper once again, perhaps Meredith could make something of herself with such a blade.
-Aftermath- Gummi Ship- Present Day-
"You tried to poison me you little bitch!" Violet yelled, as she threw a cup full of tea at Jesse, who glared at her, using a quick Stop spell to prevent the tea from flying out of the cup, as it flew through the air, he caught it, and glared at Violet.
"How so?"
"You didn't make my tea right!"
"I made you tea like you asked me to Violet." Jesse said, Violet glared at him.
"There's no sugar in it! I only like tea with sugar, my Mother would always make my tea right." Violet said, crossing her arms.
"I put like… two whole spoonfuls of sugar in it."
"Not enough!"
"Are you telling me you want me to drown the tea in sugar to the point where it's basically only sugar? That's wholly unhealthy." Jesse told her, Violet glared at him, shaking her head.
"My Mother would always make me the perfect tea, because I like sugar. Make it again." Violet demanded, Jesse rolled his eyes.
"Make it yourself." He told her, waving his hand at her dismissively, she growled at him as he walked away from her.
"Jesse!" Violet whined, Jesse stopped, looking over his shoulder at her.
"I refuse to aid you in killing yourself with sugar."
"You're being a real fuck, you know that?" Violet muttered, with a glare. Jesse just laughed a bit, and left the kitchen, Violet pouted and groaned.
-Aftermath- Luna Nova- One Hour Later-
"We go to a lot of schools don't we? This, Amaryllis, the Hero Academy school…" Violet muttered, Jesse simply hummed, and Damon nodded.
"So, what are we doing here?"
"Well, schools in session now, and I just wanted to see it, the students, the sights. It has magic, so maybe I can learn something new here." Violet told them, as her eyes wandered, seeing two girls talking, well, one was chasing after the other, and jabbering inside her ear.
The girl up front looked to be bored, or simply disinterested in what the girl following her was saying. The girl in front had blonde hair, and blue eyes, and fair skin, wearing the school uniform, while the girl following her brown hair, and red eyes, with a tuft of hair sticking up from the back of her head, tied that way, half her bangs hanging on her face.
"Akko, please stop talking so quickly. I'm helping you study, and cannot do so if you give me a headache." The blonde told the girl behind her, Akko.
"Sorry Diana, I'm just excited you're actually going to help me out, and… who is that?" Akko asked, as she looked towards Violet, Jesse, and Damon, Diana stopped, and looked the trios way as well.
"None of our business, come on." Diana said, as she gently gripped Akko's upper arm, pulling her with her, Akko shrugged, following the prodigy around a corner, while Violet's eyes shined.
"I ship them so much!" Violet squealed, Jesse, and Damon just stared at her.
"Ship?"
"Yeah! They're obviously not together yet, but… I don't think it would take much." Violet said thoughtfully, Jesse glared at her.
"Violet, no." Jesse said, causing the blonde to look at him, with a raised eyebrow. "We are not to meddle or interfere in affairs like that, if we were not asked to."
"But…" Violet began, taking a step forwards, before she tripped over her feet like an idiot, and fell against Jesse, who caught her, with a look. "Sorry…"
"Be more careful." Jesse chided her, as the blonde, now with pink tips to her hair, that touched her shoulders stood back up.
"Sure. But, I'm gonna go get those two girls to kiss, later Jesse!" Violet exclaimed, before she dashed off, Jesse reached out after her, as Damon chuckled, crossing his arms.
"She thinks she a cheeky little… Wait…" Jesse stopped, as he searched his pockets for his Wayfinder, if he had that he could just teleport to her, but… it wasn't there. "Its gone…" Jesse muttered, shaking his head. "That little bitch, when she fell, she took my Wayfinder!"
"She's pretty smart when she wants to be." Damon said, smiling. "Anyway, she wont leave until she gets them together. Might as well settle in, and do something. I'm gonna see if I can find a nice girl to talk to." Damon said, before he walked away from Jesse, who simply let out an irritated sigh.
"That girl…" Jesse muttered, as he started in the direction he saw Violet run off in.
-Aftermath- Virtuoso City, Kya's House-
"Tsubaki, don't jump on those papers, okay? I need them for work." Kya spoke, as she walked Tsubaki into the room, holding the Frost Ferret in her arms with a towel, attempting to dry her off a bit. The small animal squeaked in agreement, as Kya sat her down on the floor.
Tsubaki shook, slinging a bit of water off of her, and onto Kya's legs, and the floor, before she scampered off, slipping a bit at first before gaining her bearings, and running to her food to eat. Kya just smiled a bit, before she looked up in alarm, grabbing her Keychain, and summoning Stormfall, pointing it at the door, as it opened.
"Don't shoot! It's just me!" Ruby exclaimed, as she clutched a stack of papers in her arms. Kya calmed down, and banished Stormfall clipping it on her belt, right next to Rainfell. She had been given Stormfall by Master Aqua once she had completed her Mark of Mastery.
"Why didn't you tell me you were arriving?" Kya asked, Ruby smiled a bit.
"You knew I would be back… It's not like you to forget Kya." Ruby said, with a smile, as she closed the door behind her, and brought the papers over to Kya, who took them, and placed them on a desk.
"It slipped my mind. I just gave Tsubaki a bath, and that… takes up all of my attention. Little shit doesn't like to stay still for me, always behaved when Violet gave her a bath." Kya said, with a slight smile, Tsubaki squeaked loudly. "I know you love her more! You little shit." Kya said, with a small smile.
"So, you got anything you need me for?" Ruby asked, Kya shrugged.
"Yeah, I need you to deliver some reports to Master Aking-Do's mercenary organization. I've been in talks with them the past week, on hiring them for extra support in protecting people from the Children of Darkness." Kya said, as she went over to her desk, grabbing a few papers at the top of a stack, and folding them, placing them in an envelope, before handing it over to Ruby.
"I think it's really cool that you got assigned to lead the New Guardians here…" Ruby said, with a smile, Kya merely hummed.
"You guys need a Guardian to guide you. Though Ruby… You do know that I'm your boss right, not any New Guardians. You report directly to me for a reason, don't put your trust in them, put it in me, trust me. There's something shady going on with the New Guardians."
"What do you mean?" Ruby asked, Kya hummed.
"I mean that they seek to eliminate all traces of Darkness, which would throw the universe off balance and engulf it in Chaos. I only seek to protect the light, my friends, and my home." Kya told her, with a smile, Ruby nodded.
"Right then. I trust in you Kya." Ruby confirmed, before she shifted a bit. "I'll be off now." Ruby said, before she turned to leave, as the door opened up once again, revealing Andre, with Jamora behind him.
"Heya Kya, hey Ruby!" Jamora exclaimed happily, Kya glared at him while Ruby waved, and left the house to deliver the reports.
"You're lucky you're Violet's friend. Otherwise I wouldn't allow you in." Kya told him, Jamora smiled at her.
"Are we not friends Kya?"
"You're a Protector, a natural enemy, even though Violet trusts you." Kya told him, with a slim smile, Andre huffed.
"By Violet, you mean you, since she isn't here…" Andre said, causing Kya to glare at him.
"I'm aware. How did your patrol go? Is Farren behaving?" Kya asked, Andre nodded.
"We had a tiny spat with the Children of Darkness, nothing too bad, no one was harmed seriously on either side." Andre told her, Kya nodded.
"Okay, well, here's your patrol for the next three days. I'm going to have an extended meeting during those days, so just go on your patrols as usual, and report back after your final patrol." Kya told him, Andre nodded as he took the papers, Jamora looked over his shoulder, causing the other boy to glare at him.
"I just wanted to see what my boyfriend was doing, jeez, secrecy much." Jamora said, Andre shook his head.
"Who will you be meeting with?" Andre asked, Kya glanced at him.
"I've got to keep some secrets. Now, go, I have to feed Tsubaki her fresh vegetables." Kya said, Andre, and Jamora turned, leaving her house.
"Such a doting parent." Jamora said, with a smile, Kya glared at his back as the door to her house closed, leaving her alone with Tsubaki. Kya walked into the kitchen, to see Tsubaki pacing on the counter, by her bowl, before she squeaked at Kya.
"I know, I'm late. Sorry, had important meetings." Kya said, Tsubaki squeaked, and nudged her bowl forwards, as Kya opened up the fridge. "And the movie after that, make sure you eat all your vegetables, or we wont go." Kya told Tsubaki, who squeaked in agreement.
-Aftermath- Luna Nova-
"Hi, I'm Violet." Violet introduced herself, to Akko, and Diana. The latter of which merely gave her a look, while Akko looked happy to meet a new person.
"I'm Akko, and this is Diana, what are you doing here?" Akko asked, Vilet shrugged, as she took a seat across from the girl.
"Magical study." Violet told her, looking to Diana. "Was I interrupting something?"
"As a matter of fact, yes. I was helping Akko study. I would appreciate you leaving so we could continue." Diana told Violet, who simply smiled at her.
"You remind me of someone I know, in fact both of you do. I see a lot of myself in you Akko, and Diana, you're a real serious girl, like my girl." Violet said, Akko titled her head.
"Your girl? Do you mean you've got a girlfriend?"
"Yeah, well… I mean, I think I still do, been a long time since I've seen her. Anyway, I can sense the same type of tension that I had with her, with you two. That's why I'm gonna help you." Violet said, with a smile, causing both Akko, and Diana to blush.
"We don't need your help with that." Diana told Violet, who simply shrugged.
"And we don't… Wait, what?" Akko asked, looking to Diana, who simply blushed harder, and looked away from her. Violet laughed a bit.
"The serious ones always have to hide how they really feel. I've dealt with that, anyway, come on guys. You obviously like each other. Diana, you wouldn't be helping Akko if you didn't, and Akko, I can pretty much read you like an open book."
"Am I that obvious?" Akko pouted, Violet laughed at her.
"Yes. Anyway, come on, you can trust me, what's holding you back?" Violet asked, looking to Diana, who simply shook her head.
"I have no idea what you're talking about."
"Great, then it's nothing, so give Akko a kiss then, come on, don't be a bitch." Violet said, with a smile on her face. Diana glared heatedly at her, while Akko blushed, and sank in her seat.
"I would appre-"
"I wouldn't mind…" Akko muttered, causing Diana's head to snap to her, and a shit eating grin to form on Violet's face.
"Akko, don't feel pressured because of her." Diana said, Akko shook her head, pushing herself up to look Diana in the eye.
"I'm not. I just wouldn't mind." Akko told her, Diana sighed, and glared at Violet for a moment, who simply smiled back, before she looked to Akko.
"This is not the way I wanted to do this… I wanted it to be more romantic, and not so sudden, and with an uninvited guest." Diana muttered, Violet just smiled at her, as the door to the library opened, revealing Jesse, who looked around, before seeing Violet.
"Come on." Violet egged them on, as Jesse got closer, Diana let out a sigh, and gently brought a hand up to Akko's face, pulling her closer. Before the two kissed, as Jesse arrived, glaring at Violet.
"You thieving little… We've got a job, come on." Jesse said, a message had come through his phone while he was searching for Violet, he had already told Damon to meet them at the ship.
"Okay, my jobs done. You two have fun, I might be back later." Violet told them, as she stood up, Diana simply glared at her, while Akko nodded. Jesse shook his head, as he and Violet walked away from the budding couple.
"You are truly an asshole, also, give me my Wayfinder back." Jesse said, Violet nodded, and pulled it from her pocket, with a smile.
"I still got my old Kleptomaniac tricks. Lifting shiny objects without anyone noticing. My mom actually taught me how to do it. Boy was my mother mad when she found out it had enabled my kleptomania, didn't talk to my mom for a few days." Violet said, with a smile, Jesse hummed.
"So, you successfully managed to get those two together, amazing. I honestly saw nothing there."
"Because you didn't live in a similar relationship. Yours was all best friends, movies, and cuddles. I had to deal with an angry Kya most of the time." Violet told him, Jesse hummed.
"I did have a good time pretty much always until that stupid fight." Jesse said, Violet nodded.
"We all do stupid things Jesse. God knows I wouldn't have slept with Zen, had I known he lied, and was actually an asshole… But then I also slept with his older sister, and got his younger sister to have a crush on me within minutes, so we're even." Violet said, with a smile, Jesse smiled at her.
"I suppose so. Anyway, we have a mission, as I've said. It's to a world we've never been to before. Main focus is a Kingdom, with a royal family and everything." Jesse told her, Violet nodded.
"Okay. Sounds good. Any Prince, or Princesses?" Violet asked, Jesse nodded.
"A Princess in fact, singular. Her father is the King, no Queen in the picture." Jesse told her, Violet hummed, before she nodded. A while passed, as the two just moved through campus, and towards their Gummi Ship.
"So, is she gay?" Violet asked, once they were at the ship, and the ramp was coming down.
"Violet!"
"I'm just asking! Or Bi, or Pan, or whatever?" Violet asked, Jesse simply sighed, and glared at her.
"I have no idea." Jesse told her, Violet nodded, as the ramp came down on the ground.
"All I wanted was an answer." Violet told him, he simply shook his head at her, as they stepped onto the ramp of the Gummi Ship, walking into their general home, and base of operations. "Also, I wanna train, so, yeah."
"I will monitor you."
"Why? I don't wanna wear the sensors." Violet whined, Jesse simply laughed, once they walked to the Training Room, and the Gummi Ramp came up, with Damon preparing to take off.
Once they were off the world of Luna Nova, and Violet had been outfitted with the sensors needed for training, she stepped into the training room, with Jesse starting up the simulation. Violet let out a sigh, and summoned Oathkeeper, as several virtual shadows materialized around her.
"Begin." Jesse said, as he initiated the training, Violet narrowed her eyes, and, jumped, throwing Oathkeeper at several Heartless, killing them, before she shot several bolts of Lightning from her hands, destroying the rest that surrounded her, as more, and more just popped up, she called Oathkeeper back to her, and landed on the ground, as Neoshadows appeared.
"Okay, no mistakes so far, good. Let's see how you guys deal with this!" Violet exclaimed, as she called on the magic of her Wayfinder, summoning Jesse's Scarf, made of Light around her neck, and Damon's Fenrir, also made of Light in her free hand. She threw Oathkeeper and Fenrir in the air, before she grabbed Jesse's Scarf, pulling it off her neck, and whipping the two ends to the two Keyblades, causing the ends to wrap around their handles.
"Are you sure you can handle that?" Jesse asked, as Violet gripped Jesse's scarf in her hands, now holding Oathkeeper, and Fenrir on either end. She whipped it around, hitting several Heartless with each Keyblade. She pumped her magic into the scarf, sending Blizzard magic towards Fenrir, coating it in Ice, and Fire magic towards Oathkeeper, coating the blade in a bright blue flame.
Violet spun, and jumped around whipping the scarf to, and fro, destroying Heartless each swing, until she was surrounded by several Large Bodies, Wyverns, and countless Neoshadows, and Darkballs.
"Violet, you might want to cool it." Jesse said, Violet simply shook her head, she had only taken a single hit this session, and it was from Oathkeeper flying back, and hitting her leg. Violet jumped up, and Banished both Jesse's Scarf, and Fenrir, she caught Oathkeeper, and shot out several large Fireballs, that surrounded her in blue flames, as she ran around, destroying Heartless.
Until suddenly, all the Heartless vanished, causing Violet to turn, glaring at Jesse, she marched towards him, as the door opened up, she banished Oathkeeper, and clipped it to her belt.
"What the fuck?" Violet demanded, Jesse raised his hands in the air.
"It actually wasn't me. The simulation just shut off, you seem to have overloaded it. I did tell you to cool it." Jesse reminded her, Violet just shrugged, smiling, as she placed her hands on her hips.
"That just means I'm better than I thought. Anyway, get these off me, I need to shower before we get to the new world. I'm all sweaty and gross." Violet said, Jesse nodded, and began to remove the sensors from Violet's body. "After this job, we need to upgrade our ship, contact Cidney, and set it up, okay?"
"You got it Violet, after this mission." Jesse agreed with her, smiling, Violet nodded, as Damon sped off, to the world where their job came from.
