A/N: I'm sorry if it feels rushed but in reality I am not a person who likes to let things drag for too long. I write chapters for this in one to three days anyway, I'm just doing it many days in a row now. Besides, a butchered ending is better than no ending, based on a forum I saw, since you can choose not to continue.


They political representatives took their seats while Inumuta sat in his own personal high tech maneuverable chair with Derf guarding the entrance. The representative from Tristain was Baron Boaz, former Captain of the fifty-seventh noble battalion, the representative from Germania was Lemuria von Zerbst, head of the Zerbst household. Gallia and Romalia had also sent their representatives, Josette de Gallia and Julio Chesaré respectively.

"Now, let us begin this conference, what is your reason for coming to my land?"

"You impudent commoner! How dare you rob royalty of their nation! I had been holding it in while I was here but that was the last straw! If you decide to grovel at my feet now I will consider telling the Queen to lighten your sentence."

At the uttering of many forbidden words, the Sibyle System flared up and caged the man in a drone deployed forcefield, awaiting judgement.

"Let me out of here you worthless peasant!"

"Ugh, this is why I hate nobles. Mute."

The noise coming from the Baron was removed and the remaining four people continued.

"With all due respect here, while in my homeland of Germania you can purchase a noble title, abolishing the belief in Brimir is heresy! I am afraid you must repeal 'Technomonology'."

"No, Brimirism has only brought suffering to the people and impeded technological progress to a slow painful grind. With Technomonology, they are free of these inhibitions and are free to advance science at the proper pace."

"What could your science offer us that magic doesn't?"

"Look around you, this is all done by science, advanced science outclasses your magic easily. Take for example, this robot here could take your strongest spell at point blank range and come out unscathed. I'll even allow the Baron to try. Release."

The Baron was free from his forcefield prison and casted his spell. A large fireball flew towards the serving robot, only for a green field to light up around the droid as the damage was distributed throughout the protective layer of energy.

"Impossible! I am a Triangle Class Mage!"

"As you can see, even such an accomplished mage can do nothing against science, it has prevailed, and your magic has failed."

"Grr… Don't get too cocky commoner!"

"I'm in the perfect position to be cocky, currently I have a satellite orbiting in space that when activated will fire off ten nuclear warheads to each nation. That shall be the last time you address me as such, you will call me, the Tech-Master. Allow me to show you the devastation of my threat."

Inumuta snapped his finger and the room immediately darkened, only to change into a field. In the distance was an exact holographic replica of Romalia's capital city. The nobles watched in horror as a large round object fell from the sky and hit the church. The result was a large explosion which tore up the ground up to a kilometer away and leaving a crater that was twenty meters wide. The most affected was obviously the Romalian representative, Julio.

"You monster! All those innocent people!"

"Relax, that was but a simulation, besides, the strongest of my weapons could destroy the entire planet in an instant."

"No…"

Josette watched silently as the aftershock of such a revelation took its toll on the other envoys.

"Goal?"

"My goal? I wonder, I had originally come to this place in search of a certain piece of attire but I am currently unsure… Perhaps the answer will reveal itself in time…"

"Peace?"

"Fear not, I do not currently wish to pursue territories nor do I see myself doing so in the near future."

"Peace."

The representatives soon regained their composure and requested to continue negotiations at a later date. At this, Inumuta sent out four dealer bots to the castles of the four nations bearing the mark of Neo Albion. The envoys returned to La Rochelle and Inumuta moved to do his governmental duties.

There were often countless requests to see him on issues but the automated bot system managed to deal with most of them and usually only one or two warranted his attention. Today's appointment came in the form of a strange hooded girl. She removed it to reveal that she had pointed ears.

'An elf? What would an elf be doing here?'

"Greetings Tech-Master, I am Tiffania Westwood."

"What is it that you want?"

"I am requesting your help, I need someone to help my familiar!"

"What?"

"Who did you summon exactly?"

"Charlotte de Gallia, her mother is in grave danger!"

"So she's the Princess of Gallia?"

"Yes, I'm sure she could find some way to reward you for it!"

"As far as I know, Miss Westwood, Gallia is ruled by some Mad King and he only has one daughter named Isabella."

"She is his niece and he is about to execute her mother because I summoned her!"

"Hmm?"

"She was on an important mission of finding the Tristainian Void Mage but I summoned her just as she had found her target and it was already the deadline."

'It would be good because I could kill off the Mad King and instate her as Queen, that will allow me more political allies should the need for them arise.'

"Very well, I shall assist you in this matter, head to the port, I will prepare a ship for you. It will take you to Gallia, I will send my strongest warrior to assist you."

"Thank you!"

Tiffania left in joy and Inumuta activated his communicator to speak with Ryuko

"I have a mission for you, we are going to turn Gallia into our ally, head to the port. You will meet up with some elven Void Mage and her familiar named Charlotte."

"How did the meeting go?"

"We aren't at war yet and they should be too scared to offend us."

"You didn't show them a nuke did you?"

"Maybe…"

"Ugh, you do realize these guys are overzealous in their religion! What if they say you are a heretic or something and attempt a holy crusade?!"

"Then I'll block them with a forcefield."

"Whatever you say, I'm seriously wonder if Senketsu is even here. I mean we set up that scanner ages ago and yet it still hasn't detected even a trace of him…"

"It is possible that there is some kind of magical interference, however this is the same planet he was transported to. The short time I got before we jumped in, I analyzed it and the energy signatures were near identical."

"I'll trust you on that, so what does this elf look like?"

"Green dress, huge rack, pointed ears, you can't miss it."

"Got it."

"Your job is basically to kill the King of Gallia in some politically valid way and instate her familiar as Queen, she is the Mad King's niece so see how you can use that, say it was a fight for the throne or something."

"What are you going to be doing then?"

"I'm going to be experimenting with uranium."

"Wait, on who!"

"On the mages I captured during the attack on Newcastle. Now that all the important matters are settled I can finally see what happens when I radiate mages!"

"You're sick."

"Meh, it is for data."

"I'm gonna head out now, just make sure you contain the damn thing properly. There's no telling what they'll become."

"Got it."


Ryuko made her way to the port and met up with the two.

"Tabitha? What are you doing here?"

"Charlotte."

"You're Charlotte?"

The girl in question nodded and knowing how messed up politics could get, Ryuko accepted it.

"Then I presume you are Tiffania?"

"Yes, are you the one sent by the Tech-Master?"

"Yes, our ship is here, come."

The trio boarded a high tech ship prepared by Inumuta and Ryuko piloted it to the Gallian stronghold of Al Hambra while cloaked before landing it in the courtyard, crushing a certain elf who was stupid enough to stand in the middle of the courtyard.

"That was quite the rocky landing, I wonder who I crushed. Wait a minute, I can just get her from the window, I should do that."

Ryuko brought the aircraft back up and headed to the tower Tabitha's mother was held in before using the mechanical arms on the ship to create an opening. She then activated the tractor beam and pulled the lady on board, tossing a pill into her mouth. It was a pill developed by Inumuta to 'reset' one's mind in the case of insanity or similar afflictions.

"What in the world is going on?"

"Mother."

"You should be fine now Queeny, now we're gonna pay your brother-in-law a visit."

"Joseph?"

"We're gonna usurp him."

"Rest."

"I'm not sure what you're doing Charlotte but I'll believe in you for now. Though I expect some kind of explanation later."

Tabitha nodded and Tiffania smiled at the reunion. They busted into the castle quarters and at this moment, detecting a fight, the negotiation bot activated its combat functions and attacked Joseph. Ryuko charged in to discover that the negotiation bot had been blasted out the window, she drew her scissors blade and attacked the Mad King, only for her attack to miss when a giant golem of iron reached in and grabbed the man before she could reach him.

Atop the shoulder of the golem was Sheffield, her runes shining brightly as she controlled the magic construct. The golem tried to punch her but she jumped and tried landing on the fist, only to discover a field around the armor which repelled her. She fell back and the fist retracted. The great golem Jormandr moved away while four people entered the room.

Ryuko recognized them as members of the Gallia Knight Army which Inumuta had briefed her about when he learnt that Gallia had been supporting the rebels in the invasion. Ryuko quickly took out Damien first, deeming him as the most important before tackling Jeanette and moving on to Jacques and Bleu. The unconscious quartet were left on the floor as Ryuko contacted Inumuta.

"We have a problem, that thing seems to have a forcefield of some sorts, I doubt I can pierce through it."

"Right, give me a moment."

In a quick mental connection, Inumuta linked himself with the giant cruiser class anti-surface gun he had installed below Albion and locked on to the large golem.

"Try and lead it away from a populated area."

"Got it."

Using Tiffania as bait, Ryuko decloaked the ship and lured Jormandr into a mountain pass and got clear of it once Inumuta gave the signal. From the direction of Albion, a beam of yellow light pierced the golem's defenses and continued to burn at it, melting both the controller and the golem itself.

With the Mad King dead, all the people rejoiced at the coronation of a nicer Queen Charlotte. Ryuko got her agreement to ally Gallia with Albion and left after the signing of a contract printed by Inumuta using the ship's onboard computer.


A/N: There's probably going to only be one more chapter left now that I looked through the list of events in the Zero no Tsukaima storyline… I guess I'll try and drag it to a good length but no guarantees here. Review, favourite and follow if you've enjoyed. Don't forget to check out my other stories and poll as well. Story status information can be found on my profile.
