Authors note: so, I'm changing up how i write my chapters (again) but this one is gonna be a bit more different even still, because i'm going to be tryign to put a chapter out of this one each sunday. biweekly if it comes to it.

As for the idea, yes we have Louise and a couple othrs being abducted by aliens and lost in space. A crossover with Starfinder baby!
(when ffnet gets a starfinder tag i'll put this properly in crossovers.)

i will be playing loose with starfinder rules and lore in this, and i'll also be postign it on my AO3 account, so if it ever gets something that needs an R ratign for a chap it'll be there, so i hope everyone likes this idea and looks forward to it.

oh, and i found out that ffnet had changes soem peopled defualt settings, so if you want to get email updates for things you should check that, because they defualted that option to no.

The Tristain Academy of Magic was the foremost location on Halkeginia for young Nobility to learn magic. For three years they would learn, adding their magical teachings to those of academia, politics and speech craft, all other such skills the nobility would need, and during the second year at the academy was often one of the most forming for students. This was because at the start of the second year, when students were sixteen or seventeen years of age, would summon their familiars, a sort of coming of age ritual for the nobility that proved they were learning their magic properly, and were indeed a noble.

Unfortunately, this years was not going as planned as a great disc of metal floated above the Academy, bathing it in silent shadows that unnerved everyone, especially those in the courtyard who were just about to begin the familiar summoning ritual.

The disc floated ominously above them making no noise despite its massive size, and as soon as the teacher in the courtyard ordered his students into the school building, the disc let out a strange noise, like a hiss mixed with a great groan.

A great green gate opening up upon its underside and bathed the whole group of students in a green light, and then four of them found themselves being pulled up into the air toward the disc as if by levitate spell.

Students tried to help them with spells, tried to use levitate to pull them back, while the teacher tried to attack the disc with great pears of fire, to no effect.

And within less than a minute those four students had disappeared within the disc, before the discs light went out, and it began lifting into the air.

In less than five minutes it had come, abducted four students, and left, leaving no evidence of its apparent arrival or departure aside from those who were now gone.

Louise Valliere, third daughter of the Valliere Duchy of Tristian, looked around in the room she found herself. It had dark metal floors and three walls, while directly in front of her was a strange looking barrier of blueish energy that did not give at all when she touched it. It felt solid, and made it clear what the room was.

A Cell.

Across from her she could see three other such cells. Two of them had people in it, her classmates who looked just as worried and confounded as she was.

"Valliere, what did you do!?" The boy in the cell across and to her left yelled at her in anger, his voice being perfectly easy to hear. He was one of the lesser nobility in her class, and she could not recall his name. Not that she had tried to learn it in the past.

"How could this be my fault?" Louise asked carefully as she glanced around her Cell again, noting nothing inside it, not even a seam in the walls.

"Wait, Valliere is here?" Asked another boys voice from Louise's left, likely in the cell beside hers. She recognized the boy as Malicorne de Grandple, a friend of Guiche de Gramont, and the son of a lesser merchant noble family. He was also one who followed along with the actions and words of others. "If the Zero is here it must be her fault!" He then stated as if talking to himself loudly.

"Yeah, this this probably your Familiar or something absurd, like that, right?" the first boy demanded angrily. "Tell it to let us out!"

"No one had even started summoning their Familiar's, I don't know what this is," Louise stated seriously, before slumping where she sat. " Not that I probably could've summoned a Familiar in the first place.."

"Huh, where you not saying you would summon something grand yesterday?" Malicorne asked.

"And what else am I supposed to say? I'm from a Duchy, my mother is the Heavy wind herself, and yet I cannot cast even the most simple of spells. My options are either to try to act the rank of my family, or try to ignore all of you, and that hasn't worked since the start of last year. Lets be honest, I have no chance of summoning a Familiar, and as soon as I got home I was likely going to be married off and forgotten about by both my family, and everyone in our class."

". . . . . . Well that's depressing," Malicorne commented.

"Welcome to my life," Louise commented back with a shake of her head before she squinted at the cell directly across from hers. It was hard to make out who it was, but after a few seconds she realized when she heard her crying. "Montmorency, are you alright?"

"Of course, I'm not," Montmorency de Montmorency sobbed in answer, unmoving from where she sat on the floor in her cell.

"Montmorency!" Malicorne exclaimed, seemingly perking up if his voice was anything to go by. " Don't worry, I'm sure Guiche will save us!"

"No he wont," Montmorency said with another sob, sounding terrible.

"Of course he will, Guiche is one of the best of our school year!" Malicorne exclaimed. "I'm sure any moment now his golems will burst in and-"

Malicorne was cut off as suddenly the light in the cells brightened, nearly blinding all of them at the suddenness of it.. Then three horrible looking creatures walked in down the hallways between the cells, stopping in front of them in perfect view.

Short humanoid creatures with deep grey blue skin, large bulbous heads and large black eyes. They appeared to wear no clothing, and only one of them had some kind of metal apparatus upon its wrist. The creatures said nothing as they looked at their captives, and then very suddenly the strange barrier doorway disappeared in front of the one boys cell, and two of the creatures moved into the cell.

"No, stay away from me! Stay away you, agh!"

He was then dragged out of the cell, his body limp, but still breathing despite looking in pain. The monsters took him down the hall out of sight, and as they left the lights in the cells dimmed again.

Just before screams of horror and inconceivable pain echoed from somewhere unseen to them.

Louise knew she shouldn't, but the boys screams made her smirk, recalling how few of her classmates ever did a damn for her as other bullied her. "So, Malicorne?"

"What?"

"Still think Guiche can save us rom this hell?"

Malicorne did not answer.
