Last Time:
"I summon the most courageous, graceful, powerful, and loyal familiar there can be. I call upon you to appear before me," says Louise, and with a swing of her wand an explosion appears and a giant cloud of smoke appears in the middle of the court yard.
Meanwhile in another world:
"What was the point of all this death, all this destruction, and all this Chaos?"
In a world plagued by world and the artificial manipulation of human DNA in order to make them into super soldiers, there is a boy, a teen, no older than 15 years of age. This boy has lost everything he has cared about during the war, has gained immeasurable strength beyond anything seen in the army before him, and he's sick of it. This is Saito Hiraga, the most advanced super soldier available and the strongest person on planet earth.
He is standing on a hill side overlooking a burning town; a town that once was home to his family, friends, and comrades. He's lost everything and even with all that power, all that potential, he was too late to save anyone. (Oddly enough, it has been 3 months since this town was destroyed and the fires are still burning.) His tears have long since dried and his heart has closed to the outside world, unable to trust anyone from this world again.
During the 3 months of morning, and during the time his heart had yet to close fully, he had been sleeping around with random women that were either civilians or women from the army; however, he never entered a serious relationship, fearing that they would hurt him or that he would be powerless to protect them.
"There is no point to all of this," said Saito. "We kill each other and make each other miserable, and for what, for a country that is no better than the one it attacked or defended itself from."
Suddenly, off to his right Saito sees something appear from nothing. It looked like a giant teal-green oval of some kind.
"I know that common sense tells me to leave it alone," thought Saito, "but I am far too curious as to what that thing is to just leave it alone."
With that thought in his head, Saito decides to see what the mystery "object" is, and, hopefully, how it came to exist.
"Now, just what are you?" asked Saito to no one in particular as he reaches out with his right hand.
Just as his right hand touches the object in question, it ripples at his touch and from the point of contact quickly grabs his arm and pulls him in. And with that, Saito, along with the teal-green oval that has yet to be identified, disappears from planet Earth, without a trace, only a yelp of surprise would have been heard if anyone was around.
Louise and her classmates are coughing from the sudden explosion, which hid the fact that someone has fallen from the sky and has made an impression of their body in the ground. As the smoke clears they see someone on the ground sitting up while holding their head. What they are looking at is Louise's new familiar, a teen not much older than any of them, with black hair and eyes, a lean and powerful body that looks like it went through a training regime from hell. He was wearing black combat boots, with black cargo jeans that were tucked into the boots, a black belt with a silver square buckle. He wore a simple red shirt that was tucked into his pants, with no color, but it went up to the base of his neck. He has a black leather trench coat (Blade) and had 2 swords that were attached to his back. Both swords were different as the one that went into his right hand, a long sword, was well maintained and looked to be extremely powerful, but the one that would go into his left hand, a thick samurai based sword (single edge), was chipped and worn down by the elements almost as if it was used for torture.
"'Look, Louise summoned a commoner,'" says Guiche.
'"Is this really the best you can do Louise?"' asked Kirche. '"Didn't you say you were going to summon the best familiar possible, so what's with the commoner?"'
Everyone, except Tabitha, in the courtyard starts laughing at Louise and chanting, '"Louise the Zero."' Over and over again as Louise and Saito are trying to make sense of the situation that has brought them together.
'"Who the hell are you people, and where am I?'" asked Saito in confusion. "'Who the hell brought me here?'"
'"There has to be some mistake,"' says Louise, '"Mr. Colbert, can I try the summoning spell again?"'
'"I'm sorry Louise, but I can't do that,"' said Mr. Colbert solemnly, '"I'm afraid that for better or for worse this commoner is your familiar. If I were to allow you to attempt the summoning spell again, it would sully this day and you will have to be arrested for taboo. Now, complete the ritual Louise.'"
Saito's head is too foggy from the sudden teleportation that he doesn't see what Louise is doing, as she gets closer to her "familiar" to finish the spell and mark Saito as her familiar. Chanting a binding contract for her and Saito.
'"Pentagon of the Five Elemental Powers, grant your blessings upon this creature and bind it as my familiar."' Then she kisses him and binds the contract that marks him as her familiar.
Saito finally gains a clear head and the first thing he feels is a searing pain shoot through his body beginning with his left hand and spreading through to the rest quickly. Screaming in agony he asks, '"What the hell is going on? What the hell are you doing to me? AAAHH!"'
'"It's just the contract binding to you, there is nothing to worry about,"' said Louise, and with that said Saito passed out from exhaustion.
That very same night Saito wakes up to find himself in a strange room that looked like it belonged to a very rich person. At that moment a girl walks into the room, the same girl from that morning, the one that kissed him and put him in a lot of pain. '"Hey, who are you? What are you going to do to me? Why have you brought me here? How did you bring me here?"' asked Saito, and as the questions keep coming, they start to annoy Louise to the point she tries her silencing spell.
'"How did it go again?"' contemplated Louise, '"Oh yeah, that's how. Silence!"' With a small explosion Saito was blown off his feet.
"OK, that's it now I'm going to use force. I didn't want to do it because you're just a kid but you left me no choice," said Saito not realizing that Louise was able to understand him this time around. As he goes to grab her by the shoulders Louise has a surprised look on her face.
"Hey, I understood you!"
Saito looks at her confused and asks, "How are you speaking my language?"
"That doesn't matter, you're my familiar now, and now that I understand you, you can follow my orders and I order you to do my laundry."
"You're kidding right?"
"I'm not kidding because it's the familiar's duty to do as their master commands them without question."
"Well here is something you didn't count on and that is me leaving, so all I have to say is that I would never follow your orders willingly, goodbye." Saito runs out the door with Louise right behind him trying to stop him, but he is too fast and by the time she hits the stairs, he is already 2 flights down. He stops on the first floor because there are people there talking. One was someone Saito saw when he was teleported, Guiche, and the other was unknown to him, a girl, but definitely younger than the guy. He tried to sneak by, but was caught before he could get half way through the hall way.
"Oh, your that familiar that Louise summoned today!" said Guiche, "are you here to thank me, or are you running an errand for your master?"
"That girl can't control me, no one can," Saito snarled, "and why should I thank you?"
"I was the one who carried you to the room when you passed out."
"Well I guess thank you, but I would have been better off if you through me into the woods," said Saito as he walks off with the conversation of the couple in the back of his head, just in case it was useful.
With that Saito left outside and shortly after Louise ran into Guiche and asked for help with her familiar, again.
As Saito walked outside he saw something that shocked him, 2 moons. "This is impossible! This isn't Earth. Where the hell am I?"
Suddenly he is picked up by an invisible force and knocked out by an explosion.
"Honestly, for a commoner you cause a lot of trouble," says Guiche with Louise right behind him as the source of the explosion.
