I do not own Familiar of Zero or Kantai Collection. They belong to their respective owners!

Louise Françoise Le Blanc de La Vallière was not much of a remarkable girl. In fact, the one thing she and her peers were sure of was that she was completely unremarkable. For starters, her body on average was smaller than her classmates. She was shorter and her bust size was...nothing to be envious about. Also despite being from one of the most prestigious noble families in the country, something was extremely wrong with her abilities. She did not have the ability to cast magic, at all. Nobles, both legitimate and disgraced, in her world all have the ability to use magic from the four main elements. However for poor Louise, all she could do was make explosions ranging from a harmless smokescreen to tremendous blasts of energy that can cause quite a bit of collateral.

This shortcoming in magical ability has made her the butt of everyone's jokes at the Tristain Academy. "Zero" she is called for her lack of magical power. Louise has worked just as hard, if not harder, than everyone else in order to prove her worth, yet no matter how well she does at the theoretical portions of magic, the actual application of it always results in her signature explosions.

So we find Louise and the rest of her classmates in the academy's outdoors during an event where each mage summons their lifelong magical companion known as a familiar. During the summoning, mage goes through a magical summoning ritual in which the universe more of less pairs up the mage with a creature of sorts that matches the abilities and disposition of its master. Or at least in theory that is.

For example one of Louise's classmates, a fiery redhead and dark skinned girl named Kirche who is adept at fire magic ended up with a Fire Salamander which a natural fit.

But for Louise, her handicap once again is rearing its ugly head and she has yet to summon her familiar. The sympathetic look from her instructor and her pride as a Vallière are the only things keeping her going, as the background noise is filled with nothing but jeers and ridicule.

'I can't fail...this is my only chance to prove I am a real mage! I am NOT a Zero!' the long haired Pinkette thought. She once again went through the ritual, putting all of her spirit into the casting and giving their god Brimir a silent prayer.

"I, Louise Françoise Le Blanc de La Vallière, in the name of the great Five Pentagon Powers, following my fate, I summon a Familiar. My servant that existed somewhere in this vast universe. My divine, beautiful, wise, powerful servant, heed my call; I wish from very bottom of my heart and add to my guidance and appear before me!"

And then an explosion occurred, creating a lot of smoke and dust in front of Louise. The crowd erupted into even more noise of the insulting nature.

"Wow Zero did it again!"

"Nothing to show for all of that huh?"

"I don't even think divine intervention can save you from this!"

The comments kept coming and Louise was at the brink of a mental and emotional breakdown, but then something peculiar happened.

Their instructor overseeing this, Professor Colbert, quickly shushed the crowd. "Wait a moment, there is something there!"

Indeed, Louise was amazed that something was definitely in the smoke! A black outline showed something roughly man sized, though it was a bit wide. What the heck could it be? Everyone around her held their breath, well except for a blue haired glasses wearing girl by the name of Tabitha who was calm and collected during all of this. Though she too was intrigued at the new events.

When the smoke finally cleared...the students went right back to their favorite pastime of making fun of Louise.

"Wow look, Louise summoned a human? Must be some commoner!"

"Eh? Louise did you pay for that person to show up?"

"Wow what an oddly dressed person that is. What the heck is that on her back!"

Louise tried to ignore all the mindless banter and examined the thing, or person, she summoned.

It was a tall girl, or young woman, with long brown hair bunched into two braided buns. Her eyes were greyish or perhaps very light brown. One of the onlookers was right in that the person was dressed in a really weird way, nothing like what Louise or even Colbert had ever seen before.

She wore what looked to be white robes, yet nothing like the robes anyone wore around here, with several areas of red which also exposed her shoulders and in the front was some sort of gold rope. Her waist was dressed in what appeared to be a black skirt, and her legs had extremely long grey/black socks that went up almost to her thighs. On her head was a very peculiarly shaped gold headband that produced some sort of protrusions on both sides above her ears.

But the oddest thing of all was the "thing" on her back. It was large, almost as big as the person carrying it. It looked like it was made of metal, with all sorts of strange bits and tubes all over. It almost reminded Louise of a boat, but boats definitely do not look like that.

The woman looked around around, brushing off the dust on her shoulders.

"Wow that never happened before," the brunette said looking around, "Well first time for everything I guess. Weird green portals and explosions! I kind of like that way of getting a new ship! Though it might scare some of the smaller ones..."

She looked around her landing area, eying all of the new people around her. "Ehh what strange garments everyone is wearing. Hmm now which one of you is my admiral?" Suddenly as if on cue, Louise bravely stepped forward to address her familiar. "I..I am Louise Françoise Le Blanc de La Vallière! I am your master. Now get over here so I can complete the summoning!"

The girl closed her eyes and cocked her head to the side. "Eh? Master? Hmm I'm not really into that kind of stuff. Plus you're pretty short, and a girl. Oh well, guess Admirals are popping up all over the place."

She then thrust out an open hand, scaring Louise a bit. "It's the English-born returnee, Kongou! Nice to meet you!"

Murmurs went through the crowd about this mysterious familiar, and Louise was really trying to make this situation less awkward. 'What the heck does she mean by Admiral? And I can't believe I'm going to have to do...that with her!'.

Without saying anything, Louise forcefully grabbed this 'Kongou', and kissed her on the lips. This was quiet shocking to Kongou who then pushed Louise off. "Awawawawa! Who slow down Admiral! I don't swing that way! Plus we just met!" Louise looked really annoyed at Kongou's antics. "Shut up Familiar I needed to complete the summoning! That was the only way I know how to!"

"Hey I have a name, its Kong-ow!" Kongou gripped her right hand, noting that a white glow was being emitted from it. "Ok this is getting weirder and weirder. I have never seen that before," Kongou muttered, staring at the strange symbols that covered her hand. "Err excuse me Miss Kongou but I have to write down the runes," Professor Colbert said to the woman. "Eh? Oh I guess this is some type of identification. Well I could have just given you my ID number...but ok." Kongou held out her hand which the adult quickly copied. He noted that it was quite a strange one, especially for such a strange familiar. The symbol then disappeared from Kongou, and then Colbert quickly dismissed the class since everyone had now completed the summonings.

"What! These people are flying!" Kongou said in astonishment, seeing Louise's classmates take to the air as if they were planes. Louise was getting really annoyed at all of this, "Familiar stop gawking and follow me!" "It's Kongou! You are quite a rude and pushy Admiral! What the heck was that anyways? Magic?"

Louise sighed. "Fine then Fa...Kongou. This has just been a really stressful day. And since I said your name, please refer to me then as Louise. And yes it was magic, what else would it be?"

"Ok then Admiral Louise!" Kongou said with a smile, "Huh magic...kind of like the aircraft carriers then."

Louise was really too tired to retort so she just went into the building without saying anything. "Hey hey Admiral Louise!' How the heck am I gonna fit my gear in these tiny doors? Wheres the nearest dock?"

'What is she even going on about?' the young Vallière thought, 'Oh right the...thing on her back.'

"Why do you even have that massive thing?" The pinkette said. Kongou gave a really big smile at that, as if she was proud of lugging that hunk of metal. "This is my ordinance Admiral Louise! Don't you know what a battleship is? This baby is where all of my firepower is from!"

Louise just stood there trying to figure out what in the name of Brimir her familiar was talking about. "Battle...ship? You look nothing like a boat!"

"Of course I'm not a boat! I'm a super dreadnought! Partially built in England but serving the Japanese navy!"

'This girl is delusional! How the heck is she some kind of war ship?' Louise thought.

"Well I'm sorry to burst your bubble Kongou, but you're my familiar! Not some piece of military equipment. Plus there isn't even an ocean near us."

"Eh! What?" No ocean? But...but then what am I doing here?"

"You are MY familiar! You do my bidding! Get that through your silly head!"

"Hey! I am not silly! Well...ok maybe Kirishima would say I am but seriously what the heck is a familiar Admiral? Also why does everything here look friggin ancient. Wheres all the electric lightbulbs?" Kongou retorted, noting all the primitive torches adorning the walls.

"What the heck is a lightbulb?"

"How do you not know what a lightbulb is?"

"Don't ask a question to my question! You have been saying many strange things familiar! What the heck is an England?"

"You don't know England? It's a country Admiral! One of the most famous!"

"Never heard of that country. I only know Tristain, Albion, Gallia, Germania..."

"Germaia? Don't you mean Germany?"

"Stop saying nonsense!"

"Well you aren't making sense either! What continent are we on anyways?"

"Halkeginia! Where else would we be!"

Louise and Kongou finally made their way to Louise's room, somehow managing to squeeze all of Kongou's equipment through the tiny corridors.

"Wait...Halkeginia? Hmmm," Kongou rested her chin on her hand in thought, "Ok then, strange backwards technology, unfamiliar places..." She then looked outside the window, "Whoa and two moons! I guess I'm not on earth anymore!"

"Earth?"

"The planet I'm from! Wow I'm on an alien planet! Though everyone looks human so that's ok I guess. Plus two moons? That would make Night Attacks pretty easy!"

"You're telling me you're from a different world?" Louise said in disbelief.

"Well nothing else can explain it. I could go on about stuff from my world that you would have no idea about like Radar, Torpedoes, Rice...oh no! Please tell me you guys have rice!"

"Rice? Uh that strange grain from the east? Yea some people import it, though why would you want that tasteless grain?"

"HEY! Rice is very important for making curry! Along with many other dishes!" Kongou said with a pout.

"Listen Kongou my familiar, I really am tired. So I'm going to bed." Louise said in defeat, stripping down her robes to get into her sleepwear without bothering to cover herself.

"Whoa no sense of decency huh?"

"It doesn't matter what I do with my clothes, you are MY familiar. It's not like you're some stranger."

"Ehh whatever...so uh where do I sleep?"

Louise pointed at a bed of straw on the floor.

"Eh no way! I am a finely tuned warmachine! Not some farm animal!"

"Well I didn't expect to summon such a complicated being as you! So either you sleep there or outside!" Louise was really tired and really cranky at this point. She didn't want to spend all night talking and arguing with her planet hopping familiar.

Kongou was reaching her limit for patience. "Well ok then master," she said with a hint of sarcasm, "Since you aren't respecting me for being one of the prestigious Kongou Class battleships, I guess I'll go outside and find something more suitable. I'm sure I can find a spare shed or something more to my liking."

Kongou walked out of the room and closed the door, barely hearing a "Stupid disobedient Familiar," before she went outside.

"Sigh, well looks like you got your hands full Kongou. Your admiral sure is something," the battleship girl said to herself. She let out a mighty yawn. "Guess I should find a more suitable place then to rest. Man this place sure will be weird to be in, where the heck am I going to get all of my maintenance done?" In truth, Kongou wasn't really one to hold grudges. She was sure that it wasn't just herself that her Admiral was all worked up about. She was good at reading people. "Maybe she's like Ryuujou..she sure is flat..." Kongou gave a chuckle at that thought.

Kongou detached her back equipment to lay them down and found a nice comforting patch of grass. "Heh it's not all that much better than what the Admiral had in mind, but the view of the moon sure is pretty. Sendai would have a field day here. Hmm now that I think about it, I really hope I'm not the only one here. Heck how can I be a fleet if I'm the only one! I better ask the Admiral to get more people. Could use some destroyers, cruisers...not sure if a sub would be good around here. There has got to be some water around...*yaaaaaaaaaaaawn*" In her musings, Kongou soon found herself asleep under the two moons of her new world. Little did she know what significance her presence would be.

Elsewhere

"My Prince, may I suggest you do a summoning now?" an armored person said to a young looking man with striking blue eyes and blond hair.

The richly dressed blond sighed, "I suppose you are right my bodyguard. Despite the war and rebellion going on, I shouldn't skirt my duties as a young mage. I guess I was so distracted."

"Worry not my prince, it has been a stressful past few months. Besides who knows, maybe your familiar could aid us?"

The prince, name Wales Tudor, thought about it. Currently the country, Albion, he was of royalty of was going through a nasty civil war. The war has been taxing on the royalty, who were currently losing ground against their rebelling enemies. 'Beyond summoning something like a griffon or a dragon...what could really help me? Oh Henrietta my love, will I never see you again if this war were to turn for the worst?'

Wales took a deep breath and began the preparations of the summoning.

"I, Prince Wales Tudor of Albion, in the name of the great Five Pentagon Powers, following my fate, I summon a Familiar!"

The summoning circle glowed bright, so bright that Wales and his bodyguard had to shield their eyes. When the light dimmed to nothingness, they took a peak at Wale's familiar and what they saw was shocking to say the least.

"A...a human?" Wales muttered in surprise. To his knowledge, the summoning of humans and other sentient beings was nearly unheard of.

The thing he summoned was clearly a woman with light skin, short purple hair and yellow eyes, or at least one eye since the other was covered in what looked like an eyepatch. She wore some strange black shirt with a white shirt underneath which formed a sort of collar on her neck and cuffs at the edge of her arms. Around her neck was a piece of black garment, like a scarf to Wales but much thinner. She wore a very short skirt and long black socks, which Wales tried to avoid looking at. 'Don't think any bad thoughts Wales! You are a gentleman after all!' She also appeared to be carrying a sword of sorts on her hip. On top of her head were two sharply edged pieces of metal, which almost gave an eared look to the stranger. The most striking thing though was on her back rested a large block of metal, which looked like they had really smooth cannons on it.

The stranger looked at Wales and his bodyguard, almost with a calculating look as if she was measuring them. She gave a bit of a predatory grin which gave Wales goosebumps.

And then she spoke, in a quiet but intimidating manner. "My name is Tenryuu. Fufufu, ya scared?"

So ok out of nowhere I got obsessed with Kancolle. Stupid youtube and niconico...

I don't know why but I felt like writing this damn plotbunny which wouldn't get off my mind! So here we go! Dunno how much I'll update it. I have huge commitment issues. Plus I'm not a good writer in general...

Also I never actually watched the Kancolle anime so there may be things in here that don't match up with the anime, sorry about that. I go off my own little head canon. Though suggestions are appreciated. Many other Kancolle people will show up later though I can assure you, it wouldn't be Kancolle without a bunch of battleship girls! I'm going to have to BS a reason though on how they can get to the Zero world.
