One thing: What would Arcana Heart be like if it was an anime?
Well, here's the full Summary: (It will be the Arcana Heart 3 storyline)
The Drexler Institute is trying to obliterate Japan, that's a secret to everyone, Scharlachrot is trying to gather enough Celestial Stones to activate the Institute's Weapon. All the while, a Taekwondo fighter called Matsuki Hikori has heard about the rumor that, if someone collects all the celestial stones, they can grant a wish. However, he noticed that the girls called "Maidens" are the only ones trying to get these stones. Hikori doesn't have an Arcana, but he's determined to get these stones to prove that a human can also have these wishes, not only the Arcana holders, all the while... Let's just say... Harem?
If you got that last part right, Yes, Matsuki Hikori is an Male OC, Taekwondo fighter. And he'll give an impression on ALL THE GIRLS he'll meet in the way.
Got anything wrong with that? Well I have Mr. Wright on standby (Fawfuls Minion reference FTW!)
ARCANA HEART: LOVE MAX!
Episode 1: The rise of a new fighter
"There's not much time..." A voice said in the darkness. "I must collect the Celestial Stones as the rifts start to grow..." This voice belonged to a girl, a girl with a sickness.
"Why must I do this alone...?" She said "Why...?"
...
Tokyo, Japan, 02:45 pm
"Hmm... I'm hearing some rumors..."
My name is Matsuki Hikori, I'm a second year collegian in the Gauki High School. I'm a born fighter, I have practiced Taekwondo for a lot of time and I've became a master on it "BLACK BELT, YEAH!".
"If I remember well, the rumors said that however gets all the five celestial stones will have the power to grant a wish... But do I believe it? I don't know..." I've been hearing this rumor for some time, and to be honest, I don't know if I believe me or not... OK, don't get fooled by my talking, I'm not THAT cold, I'm very happy may I tell you!
"Oh well, can't just stand here thinking about it right? Better keep walking, today's Saturday, I don't have school." At least that was my objective. When...
I found her...
"Huh?" It was a beautiful woman, at least she looked like, I think, she gives off some... strange aura... She has a light blonde hair, almost reaching white, she is in black... clothes, and her eyes just tell that she MIGHT be a menace, but all in off...
Not evil, that's for sure. Anyway, I walk up to her, when I got a little close, she noticed me, I took a step back.
"Um...Hi?" I said, OK, not the best thing to start a conversation.
"What purpose you have with me?" The girl said, hey! That's not nice!
"At least you could tell me your name! That's not nice to say to a guy." I replied.
"My apologies, I'm just trying to be cautious." Cautious? For what? "Anyway. My name is Weiss, Arcana of Sword" Wait... Arcana?
"Are you a Maiden?" She sorta got surprised by me saying that.
"How do you know what I am?" She asked.
"I just... don't know, It's like I can feel an aura coming from this kind of girl. Could this aura be the Arcana you hold?" I said.
"..." Through this time, you might already know my dilemma. I don't have an Arcana, but I can feel the Arcana of the Maidens. Each Maiden as an Arcana that represents her on the spirit world, but lately there have been rifts on the dimensional barrier.
"Go to the Kamiari Shrine."
"Huh?" I was looking away and when I heard Weiss say that, I turned around.
She was gone.
"Hey! Where did ya go?!"
... Well I don't know what was that, but I better go where she's telling me to.
Kamiari Shrine, 03:00 pm
Weiss told me to come here, but I don't know why...
"Hello? Weiss, are you here?!" She's not responding, I wonder why, when I kept walking for a while, I found another girl, which ALSO released an aura, only a different one from Weiss.
"Um... Hello? Do you hear me?" The girl noticed me when I said that. She looked like someone from the Middle ages, white dress, a skirt that is gonna be REALLY REVEALING if she jumps or I trip to the ground, and... Dual Pistols?
"Eh? Why do you have pistols? Are you a criminal?" I said, oops. "Ack! Sorry! I didn't mean that! I was just curious!" She smiled after that. Phew! That was close.
"But what's your business here stranger?" She said.
"My name is Matsuki Hikori." I introduced myself. "I'm a second year collegian in the Gauki High School."
"Oh, a teenager?" She said
"You can say that, I'm 19" I replied
"Then it's nice to meet you. My name is Petra Johanna Lagerkvist. Maiden and holder of the Arcana of Holy." ... I knew that aura meant something. "Did you heard the rumor of the celestial stones?"
"The one that says if you collect them all you get a wish? Yeah I heard that." I said.
"I can't believe people would be so stupid to believe in that thing." I can't say the same for the thing glowing on her pocket
"If YOU don't believe in it, then what's that in your pocket?" She immediately flustered.
"I-It's none of your business!" She tried to defend herself.
"Aw, admit it! You're ALSO curious about the stones!" I teased her, brightest idea ever?
Yup.
"Well I'll be...!" She took her dual pistols "I'll challenge you!"
"Kiao des Keture! (Give me a break!)"
Battle!
MATSUKI HIKORI: I'm not a Maiden, I don't have an Arcana, but I will defeat you!
PETRA JOHANNA LAGERKVIST: I'm a Valkyrie, I am strong, I will defeat you! (This is NOT meant to be a translation of what she says in AH3, same goes for the rest of the girls!)
MATSUKI HIKORI VS PETRA JOHANNA LAGERKVIST
(Something to note: Depending on which level we are here, the fights will range from 1, 2 or 3 rounds if necessary.
"Some people can't take a joke" Hikori got on his fighting stance
"I'll make you take back those words" Petra said taking her pistols
Section 1
FIGHT!
First up, Hikori dashed straight to Petra but her pistols dealt little damage to him. How can I get close to her, avoid these pistols and score a combo...? ! Got it! He tried for a different strategy, he high-jumped, Petra high-jumped as well, and, since she was trying to concentrate on her level, he air dashed to her and scored 5 hits. Dealing a little more damage.
"Ouch! I guess I underestimated you." Petra said.
"No shit! That's a mistake in a fight!" Then she fired her pistols, this time, I dodged each one of them and went for a dash combo, scored 3 hits, until she countered, launching me straight to the other side, but I recovered.
"OK, two can underestimate each other..." I mocked. "But I say I'm still fighting!"
"How can you say that after a hit that hard?!" Petra was surprised.
"Because of this! CRITICAL HEART! BEAM VORTEX!" As he said that, a very big Beam Flash went towards Petra, almost KO'ing her.
"T-T-THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE!" Petra was... Petrified... (Yeah, that pun wasn't forced at all...) "Only Maidens could execute a move like that!"
"You know what?" I continued "You girls MIGHT not be the only Arcane holders. FORWARD KICK!" And with that, the last of Petra's streight faded and she was defeated.
BREAK DOWN!
"Next time. Try not using your pistols a lot."
"H-How..." Petra was crushed, a normal human had beaten a Maiden?! "H-How could..."
...Well I can't argue with that.
For all these years, only Arcana Holders could pull off Arcana Blazes and Critical Hearts, so it would be surprising that a human could do it WITHOUT needing an Arcana.
The fact is...
"I don't even know myself."
"Huh?" Petra heard that
"I don't know how can I pull of something like the Critical Heart. I don't even have an Arcana." I explained to her. "At the very least, I use that when I am seriously hit, so that's a condition..."
"But what about Arcana Blaze?" Petra asked.
"I don't use it until it's very necessary. Because it's very powerful." My Arcana Blaze is called Soul Blast, it starts with me punching the enemy into the air, and I use my own energy to defeat the powerful enemy, the downside? It takes a lot of energy out of me, it could be even capable of killing me! That's why I use my Blaze only if necessary. I went to extend a helping hand to Petra, she accepted it.
"But... Why are you after the Stones?" She asked.
"That has two reasons: One, I don't like that only the Maidens can do something with these stones, so I want to get them myself. Although I do like some help; Two: I want to get the stones to discover who I really am."
"I guess the second one has more meaning..." Petra said. "Well sorry for the trouble... But don't you dare go out without a little prize."
"Nani?(What?)" The prize she was talking about...
...was a kiss.
But something strange happened. While we were kissing, it was like she was passing a part of her soul to me. Almost as if giving me more power. Of course I enjoyed the kiss, but having a part of someone's soul passed to me? It's rather strange... She parts with my lips to breathe.
"Wow... Never thought you would be so good to kiss." Petra teased me "The Valkyries would like to help you achieve your goal."
"Hmm...I would prefer YOUR help than the help of your... Company or something." I teased back.
"If you say so." She let go of me "You have some crazy fighting skills actually..." She blushed
"I'm a Black Belt Taekwondo fighter!" I like to brag a little, but I'm not exaggerated.
"Have you learned about a girl called Saki Tsuzura?" When did I heard that name...?
"Saki... I think it was that girl that... Kicking girl fighter?" I actually met Saki before, she was a girl with blue hair, but that was when I was still a kid. And she was VERY GOOD at Taekwondo back then, she almost used kicks everytime! I had a hard time because of her, and I would be lying if I said I didn't have a crush on her back then.
"I was... Her colleague in the Taekwondo Dojo... I was 12 back then, so yeah, I remember her." Petra didn't seem surprised by that.
"Well, Saki is actually a past childhood friend of mine." OK, what? "No, wait. That's not true, sorry. It's actually because me and Saki became friends when that Parace incident came through." The Parace Incident. A crazy incident that happened on Japan thanks to a scientist called Parace L'sia. I somehow remember that incident even though I never saw it.
"See? Even though you can't help me fighting, since I can do that very well, you can give me some information for a change. Also, sorry, no offense."
"None taken." Petra kissed my cheek "If you want to find her, or, if you want to best her in her game, try finding her at Kyoto City, I saw her walking through the Sky Temple there."
"Thanks Petra! I just wish could find Weiss too..." Petra got startled.
"Weiss!?"
"I met her at Tokyo, but when I was gonna talk more with her, she just told me to come here and then disappeared."
"The last place she was is Tokyo right? I'll look for her while you collect the Celestial Stones. Um... About that..." She put her hand or her pocket and... Booya! There was the Celestial Stone.
"Please protect it OK? It's very important. Not only for you."
"I will." With that, I go to the train station to head for Kyoto.
"I've located the first Celestial Stone..." The voice said again.
"But... It seems someone else is looking for these stones. I must collect them before he gets all of them." By he, the voice means Hikori.
"I'm still alone... Sophie... Where are you...?"
In case you never played the Arcana Heart 3 game, the voice belongs to Scharlachrot, but in the game, she's clearly shown, on the anime, that must not be possible. That's why I'm disguising Scharlachrot as a voice.
