A/N: To say support is strong for this is an understatement. Seriously, one 2500 word chapter and I have people clamoring for more.

Well. . .

They shall have more!

Reviews first though!

Guest: I will definitely continue with it at some point actively, at what time that will be is anyone's guess.

Ingmina: An interesting start, with a different twist on the plot. I've heard it said that I stick to the plot too much, so I'm shifting it somewhat. It's a bit of a stretch for me, but hey, why not give it a try?

Silentstrixe: I appreciate that!


Magic Academy

That Same Time

A heavy shockwave and cloud of debris settled over the courtyard, and everyone within began to cough and hack, the dust more present then the air itself.

"Flower Whirlwind!"

Everyone turned towards the epicenter and saw a tornado emerge from the summoning circle. In an instant the tornado had passed, and the entire courtyard had been scoured clean of the previous explosions' resulting mess.

Louise paled, 'I just summoned a noble didn't I?'

Everyone present immediately stood dumbfounded at the sight in front of them, before all began laughing hysterically, "You actually managed to summon a gaggle of commoners," Kirche began to snicker out loud.

The class started to laugh again, "SILENCE! I will not have anyone mock the Sacred Summoning Ritual, a ritual that was given to us by the Founder in an uncompromisingly holy manner!"

Silence became dramatically apparent, and the Ashikabi and his Sekirei became uneasy. "I've got a bad feeling about this place guys," Minato was drooling anxiety from every pore, "They are dressed really weird, like a bunch of people either cosplaying or . . . in a cult!"

A sudden vision of Minaka filled their mind, laughing maniacally, causing the party to pale slightly.

The harem immediately surrounded Minato, with him in the center as a young, apparently unhappy young girl began to approach them; speaking in a tongue they couldn't understand.

Homura whispered, "Matsu, what is she saying?"

Matsu shook her head, "I'm not sure what I'm hearing exactly, it's some archaic form of French and Latin. Both those language variants alone raise a huge red flag. I don't think we're in Japan anymore," she looked up, "Yep, definitely not in Japan anymore."

The rest of the party looked up and Homura gasped, "Yeah, we're not on Earth anymore, its official. What can you translate?"

Matsu wracked her brain, she was fantastic with computer languages and code, but had only basic training in foreign languages. "Give me a moment," Matsu walked towards the little girl, "Can you say something to me?" Matsu began making gestures to get her to speak up, before receiving a rough response in an even rougher tone of voice.

"All I got out of that was common, and dog."

Tsukiumi became enraged, "Thee Sekirei and Thy Ashikabi are NOT COMMON YOU TROLLOP!"

Minato facepalmed, 'Well, shit.'

Musubi was completely oblivious to the situation unfolding around her, and simply smiled at the professor.

"Hey there! My name is Musubi; I'm a Fist Type, what's yours?"

Colbert seemed stunned when the mysterious and rather buxom woman simply appeared in front of him, giving no sense of malice. He began to incant a spell of translation and cast it on the strange girl that had literally materialized next to him.

"Can you understand me Miss?"

Musubi smiled a big warm grin, "You bet! I'm Musubi, a fist type! What's yours?"

"Musubi! What is going on?"

"It's fine guys! This guy isn't trying to hurt us at all!"

Colbert cleared his throat, "That is correct Misses and Sir, I am Professor Jean Colbert, and you have been summoned to Tristain Magic Academy to serve as familiars for the duration of the summoner's life."

After Musubi more or less translated what Colbert had said the girls immediately erupted into chaos, angry shouts and gestures seemed to be the main way of expressing discontent amongst one another.

"They are a little upset sir! Can you do that speaky thing to them too?" Colbert nodded, and immediately all around heard a horrible yelling match beginning between the Sekirei on what to do about their current situation.

Homura, normally the calm but fierce type actually had a vein popping out of his head, "So good sir, you are telling us we are familiars to someone without giving our expressed approval?"

"Correct Miss, you are the familiars to this young student here, Miss Valliere, you should introduce yourself."

"Begging the professor's pardon, but I'm a man. It may not appear that way, but please address my gender properly," Homura simply drooled venom, causing the normally stoic professor to flinch.

Louise made a dramatic coughing sound, "I am Louise Le Blanc de La Valliere, the third daughter of the Duke and Duchess of La Valliere! And I am your new master!"

The entire group screamed in agony and a fair dose of confusion, "WHAT?!"

Kazehana erupted into a rather scathing riposte towards the pinkette, "How about this twat, NO."

Louise didn't know what 'twat' meant but she immediately began walking towards the boy, "I take it you are that Ashh-ahh-cobbi?" The look on his face betrayed him as she jumped onto him, wand in the air, "By the Pentagon of the Five Powers, I make you my familiar!" She grabbed his head and kissed him only momentarily before being pulled off by Kusano's plant tentacles.

"Strangers don't touch my Big Brother! Hands off!"

Louise couldn't help but smile, "Don't you get it little brat? I'm a NOBLE; commoners such as you can't do anything-."

At that one moment Minato dropped to the ground and began to scream out in pain, drawing the attention of the Sekirei, who immediately felt his physical pain and were enraged by it. Their own powers activated, displaying to the mages that these familiars were not mere commoners.

Tsukiumi nearly teleported to Louise, who was still being held in midair and grabbed her by the throat, "Pray for thy own life little girl, because if thy Ashikabi dies, I'll send thee home in a series of neat, little, BOXES!"

Suddenly the sound of Minato's cries ended, drawing the attention of all, Matsu poked her head up, "He'll be okay Tsukiumi, he's just unconscious at the moment."

She continued holding the little mage by the neck, hey eyes popping out of her skull, "You can drop her now." Tsukiumi nodded and both she and Kusano dropped the little runt on the ground with little fanfare or care.

Professor Colbert began, "Perhaps you should take him to the infirmary-."

"I think not, we will go to the forest and gather our thoughts for now, we will return later if we are serious about letting this travesty continue henceforth."

With that, the girls picked up Minato, jumped straight into the air, and entered the forest; leaving a stunned class behind, along with a crushed Louise.


Forest-Evening

Kazehana set Minato down on a piece of soft ground in a clearing they found several miles from the Academy proper. The normally stoic and calm Sekirei was closer to panic then she had ever been in recent memory.

"What do we do now Matsu? We're stuck in an unknown land, in all likelihood somewhere off-world. Is anyone going to come for us?"

Matsu pinched the bridge of her nose and sat down next to Minato, the rest of the group gathering around their Ashikabi, "I honestly don't know much, we left before I could find out enough about this place. One thing is for sure though, there are no electronics of any kind in this place. The two moons over out heads simply prove just how far we've been taken. We have to assume no one will find us from Earth."

Homura's eyes closed somberly, "So no one is coming for us then. We can't just live our lives like we used to, we have to adapt to this new world. Once Minato wakes up, we'll have to make a decision on our next move." She turns back towards Matsu, "Do you have any idea what these markings are on the back of his left hand?"

Matsu shook her head, "It's definitely an old, rune based language, there are a few similarities to old Norse writings, but the similarity ends there. The language that girl spoke was just as unusual, that form of French and Latin hasn't been widely spoken on earth in centuries, Miya might be able to tell us more, given her position in the Plan but. . ."

"We're all here, and she's back on Earth, most likely scrambling for the first time in a long time." Kazehana finished.

"Right, so we have to make a decision, do we stay on the run and find a life for ourselves here, with little chance of success or do we head back and find our new lives as these so-called 'familiars.'"

We go back." The group was shocked to see Minato open his eyes and rub his hand, tears began to form on all of their faces as they glomped onto him.

"MINATO!"

He smiled, "It's good to see you are all here with me."

Tsukiumi didn't waste any time, "Why would thee want to return to the little trollop's service Minato? Am I not thee's trusted wife? What does thee offer that I cannot?"

Minato smiled and took a moment before answering, "We are on our own, in a world that is not Earth. We know nothing but the forest around us, living obliviously is not living at all."

The Sekirei were impressed by Minato's little speech, it seems a certain degree of strength has come to their typically spineless Ashikabi.

"Well, what are we waiting for? Let's head back to the Academy that we appeared at, I'm sure one little pinkette has had enough torment for one day."


"STUPID STUPID FAMILIARS!"

'And clearly I was wrong.'

Louise picked up a horsewhip and was about to strike Minato with it when Louise suddenly realized said whip had been turned into ash by Homura, who gave Louise a dark grin, "Test me, please."

Louise put up her hands in surrender and slowly backed away. She had a familiar contract with the Ashakabi, not the individual Sekirei, which meant they could smack her around as much as they felt like it.

Kazehana crossed her arms, and rolled her eyes, "I could've told you this would happen."

A general 'mmhm' was heard through the group as Louise continued to fume before sighing and beginning to remove her clothes, earning the attention of Minato who shied away, "Really Louise? I'm not that kind of guy!"

"Be quiet! You are but a lowly familiar, less than a man, just a servant, and servants help nobles dress themselves!"

Matsu giggled, "She's got nothing on us!"

Kazehana grinned, "Washboard."

Louise's eyes bulged out of her skull, "WHAT DID YOU SAY!"

Minato rolled his eyes, "And we're walking . . ."

"Wait, familiar!"

*SLAM*

Louise seemed stunned, "Did I do something wrong?"


A/N: This is just a short chapter to keep the story alive; I am currently having a bit of writer's block on some of my other stories. Unfortunately I cannot guarantee when the next chapter will come out. Sadly, I've put Archon of Zero on hiatus due to current events in the world (terrorist activity, religious extremism, etc.
