Zero's Armored Familiar
Hello dear readers! It's The Foolish Two here with a familiar of zero story!
This story is actually based on a cyoa, so all the credit goes to Bliss, MechAnon, Eyes, and /tg/ anons. I should also say that I own nothing of the familiar of zero besides some new characters I will make and my oc.
I also wish to say that this first page of hopefully many will not only be long it will be the origins of the suits and what you could expect in the power department. So sadly this may not be the most interesting part to read, so I hope to make sure that this and every other chapter you read is interesting.
I should also point out that I'm not the most experienced of writers in fact I've only started writing recently and this happens to be the second story I'm writing. The other being about rwby with changes from the cannon story line, which I still really like but understand that it needs some fixes in possibly every volume. I'm looking at videos on how to fix these issues as well as coming up with my own ideas so hopefully I can't get it out soon and not take a year working on it.
Lastly if any of you dear reader spot anything wrong with the writing please let me know right away so I can work to improve and create better stories for all of you to read.
Well, enough of my talking lets jump right into the story!
My stomach rumbled, I ignored it.
I panted in exhaustion, after a moment I grabbed my water bottle and drank it until it was empty.
"This the third time I've had to tell you, get proper rest and a decent meal or don't train at all."
I quickly turned around.
"I apologize, sir, it won't happen again."
The man that I was currently facing was my commanding officer Edward Cunningham.
He gave me a hard glare, "That's what you said yesterday and the day before that, "He rubbed his temple before continuing, "If I catch you here again without having had proper rest and an actual meal, I will have your family visitation rights revoked for the remainder of the month, do I make myself clear."
I gripped my hands tightly, "Understood sir."
He sighed, "Look, I understand why you're doing this I know it isn't hard to have the people you call family hurt, but if you're too hungry or tried to help them, then what is all of this training good for."
I don't reply.
He sighed once more, "Just get your stuff and get out of here."
I did as I was told.
Once I left the training facilities, I headed toward the food court to get something to eat.
As I headed towards the food court, I would bump into fellow pilots each curious of my absence during the times when we all eat.
Once I had finished eating, I went to see Alexander.
It wasn't difficult to find him considering that he's in the charging bay every day.
"Hey Alexander"
"Carlos, how nice to see you."
"Likewise," I give him a small smile.
"You usually never have much free time why is today is an exception?" I was curiously asked.
"Edward told me that training without having proper rest nor is a meal a bad idea, especially when I've been doing for days at a time."
"He's right you know."
"Yeah, I know,"
"Remember, if you need someone to talk to I'll always be here,"
"I know, but thank you never the less."
The one who I have been talking too is Alexander, an advanced AI, and my best friend. He's a big help when it comes to keeping track of tasks and operating my suit. The suits themselves aren't that old, in fact, they've only been around for two years give.
I can still remember very clearly the day everything changed, the day they fell from the sky. Two years ago on December 18, 2017, everything was normal, I had finished finals for the day and was at home where it all changed.
When they fell, the world was never the same again, especially not mine.
2 year ago
I just got home after a long day at school after doing my first day of finals; ready to waste most of my afternoon just enjoying myself. After changing out of my school uniform and into my at home clothes, I switched on my Xbox one.
"Ahh, man I really don't want to go to school tomorrow," I didn't want to take the finals that I had for the next day because I have college algebra trig. Which is as hard as it sounds especially when you don't remember anything from the said class.
"I wonder if anything is on the news today?" I usually never checked the news, but I've tried to get into the habit of checking the news considering I'm always oblivious to what's happening. Which I have been told before by my friends who at times talk about things that have happened recently.
I spent a good half an hour watching the news without seeing anything interesting; grabbing the remote, I prepare to turn it off. Until I heard an explosion and felt the house shake.
My room looked like a mess after the shaking finally stopped since it caused many of the things in my too fall onto the floor. Which included: my tv, the books I had on my desk and the plates from the day before. To say I was bewildered would have been an understatement of a lifetime. I was absolutely shocked at what just happened, so much so I just sat on my bed staring, wide-eyed, at my now destroyed room.
After what seemed like hours which was more like minutes I opened my window to see what the hell landed in the backyard. When I did, I couldn't tell what had crashed since it was obscured by smoke. I quickly got my shoes along with my sweater and climbed out the window. My room was at the very back of the house on the top floor, it also had slanted roofing, which led to the stairs.
I sat down and began putting on my shoes, but before I could work on tying them, I heard a sudden noise. I turn my head in the direction of the sound and to my horror, I saw multiple bright orbs heading in my general direction.
"Ah, crap!" I quickly got my shoes tied and jumped down onto the stairs, I hastily run down the rest of the stairs. Once I made it to the bottom, I heard a thundering explosion, I cover my ears in pain from the sheer volume of the noise. I turn in the direction where it was heading to see them heading further away.
"What the hell is going on," I couldn't make sense of what was happening, are these thing meteors? If so why are there this many making it through the atmosphere? I turn my attention back to whatever crashed in my backyard and start walking towards it. As I got closer to the crash, I felt a clear sense of excitement from all this. Everything that was happening was new, fresh, interesting not at all from what I'm used to.
Once I got close enough, I could tell that it was no asteroid, unless they for some reason turned into metal. It was big, at least 7 to 8 feet in height and about 6 feet in width from what I could guess.
"What the hell is this thing?" It looked like a pod of some sort, I reach to touch it, but before I could, a beam of blue light started flashing up and down my body. Surprised, I took a step back, it looked like it was analyzing my body or not, maybe it was giving me a virus or something wouldn't be the first time I was wrong.
"Brainwave scan complete. Sentience level accepted. Welcome, Aviator."
The pod deployed a holographic screen with the number 200 on top.
"Please select your preferences out of the following choices. A maximum of 200 resource points are available."
Before I could fully comprehend the situation, I hear more explosions in the distance. Regardless of where this thing came from, more are coming down to earth. I believed it would be better if I hurried up before this thing brought unwanted attention, which it did.
It showed ten different options: Suit, Specialty, User Interface, HUD, Communications, Biology, Utilities, Combat, Defense, and locomotion, I decided to go in order, so I picked the suit option; once I did four images showed up with names on the top of each image. The first one was "Mesh," It seemed to be a suit of muscle and bones it also showed some information next to it.
Mesh
0 resources
Recharge time: none
Pressure resistance: ~5 atoms
Explosive resistance: ~20 tons
Strength multiplier: 500%
Damage reduction:10%
Height: 110%
Weight multiplier: 125%
Mobility: 125%
Air supply: 30 min
Key points:
Extreme efficiency allows for continued use
Artificial muscle provides for enhanced strength and mobility
Impenetrable by conventional firearms
Continual power assists in movement
Well, looks like I was spot on with it being muscle, even if it is artificial. The suit seemed to be useful when you couldn't afford to take it off to charge. Although, I couldn't tell how much it could do in protection if I go against someone with better weapons than the suit could handle. I look at the suit next to the Mesh, Light.
Light
10 resources
Recharge time: 30 min daily
Pressure resistance: ~10 atoms
Explosive resistance: ~50 tons
Strength multiplier: 1000%
Damage reduction: 25%

Weight multiplier: 200%
Mobility: 100%
Air supply: 1 hour
Key points
Light battery
Servomotors increase strength
Impenetrable to High Caliber Firearms

I swear I think of the Doom Praetor Suit when I look at this thing with quite a few differences. The first difference is the color scheme it's all gray and not green; secondly, it's more defined muscle wise. It also seems to have some.
Heavy
30 resources
Recharge time: 2 hours daily
Pressure resistance: ~80 atoms
Explosive resistance: ~1000 tons
Strength multiplier: 3000%
Damage reduction: 80%

Now, this is a monster of a suit, I could seriously take over the world with this thing or something or at least take any damage that it throws at me. It sacrifices mobility and lightness for power and strength and defense. It also has a long recharge time although if charged during the early morning it wouldn't be terrible. Although now that I look at, it I'm pretty sure it can't bend down or even kneel...well, I mean I could be wrong and it can kneel.
I relook at the options and carefully consider which one would benefit me the most. The mesh has its perks no recharge time and superior mobility, although compared to the others it doesn't have the best protection. The light has a good middle ground with good damage reduction and movement. The Medium doesn't have the same mobility as the Light or Mesh but does have better protection and strength; it's also much heavier weight. The heavy, this beauty its a tank with legs, it's the strongest out of all the suits, but the downside for all this power and protection is its mobility or lack thereof really.
I carefully consider the options, weighing the pros and cons of each suit until finally coming to a conclusion. I chose the heavy, the heavy while lacking mobility is the strongest and sturdiest of all the suites. The pros outweigh the cons at least in my opinion hopefully I won't come to regret my decision.
I pick the Heavy and move on to the Specialty, in this one, I am given six options: The Leader, Engineer, Assault, Infiltrator, Mobility, and Support. I read them each carefully making sure I don't misread anything.
Leader
10 resources

Special-Barrier: A ranged spherical shield that blocks all incoming damage for a short duration that can be deployed
Locomotion's cost 15 resources extra with any purchase
After looking at each one two of the six caught my eye the Engineer and Mobility. The Engineer gives me "Self-Repair" for free allowing me to repair my suit if the need arises. Mobility, on the other hand, allows a 50% increase in speed as well as giving me "Flight" for free. I consider them for a moment before choosing Mobility. Being faster would be a nice as well as being able to fly in the air.
I move onto the User Interface.
For controls, I have only two options "Controls," and "Nerve Suit." I instantly pick the "Nerve Suit" since it seems easier to operate than controls.
The next options are for brain implants "Brain Implant_1" and "Brian Implant_2".
Brain Implant_1
10 resources
This option grants the nerve suit and a brain implant which allows you to call your armor and telepathically use communications when not wearing your suite. The implant is painlessly attached.
Well how convenient I get it with the implant although it does cost more
Brain Implant_2
15 resources
This option grants everything of Brain Implant_1 plus the ability to use the HUD's and remotely pilot your armor from a medium distance.
Now, this could come in handy, so I decided to get Brain Implant_2.
I move onto the HUD
"I'm taking too long with these options, I should probably hurry," I quickly went through the HUD.
Night Vision
5 resources
Enhanced light level to make things brighter and allows them to retain their color
Enhanced Vision
5 resources
Can zoom into the distance by up to 500x, Includes x-ray vision.
Thermal vision

Internal Sensors
5 resources
Your HUD will show all armor readings such as hull integrity, oxygen levels, and shields.
External sensors
10 resources
Includes "Internal sensors" Your HUD will show estimated enemy values, nearby security systems, mines, the direction of enemy gunfire, the direction of sound and missile locks.
I pick Night vision, Navigation, and External sensors and move on to Communications. There are only a few in Communications: Voice, universal Translator, Communicator, and WI-FI. I take a look at the remaining resources to see that I have 150 resources left to use for the suit. While I still have quite a high number of resources left after everything I've chosen I should be careful in what I pick. I look at all of them with the first two catching my eye.
Voice
5 resources
A built-in device able to talk with any other suit with permission, range 10 km
Universal Translator
5 resources
Translate any language and can read lips by analyzing facial movement.
I decided to pick these two and move onto Biology I'm quite curious as to what I should expect in Biology. In Biology, there are only three options which include: Hydra Nanites, Progenitor Nanites, and Stasis.
Hydra Nanites
10 resources
While inside your armor, you will be injected with nanites which accelerate healing and are capable of restoring lost limbs.
Progenitor Nanites
10 resources
At the first time accessing your suit, you will be injected with nanites that alter your DNA, cells, and anatomy to an inferior copy of a space elven. This will remove any physical and mental disabilities; your lifespan is increased by approximately 110 years.
Stasis
30 resources
Your suit will be filled with bio sustaining liquid, putting your body into stasis. This slows down the aging process and removes the need for food or water. Recharging your suit does not interfere with stasis. You can leave stasis at any moment, but your body needs a year to re-enter. Cause muscle deterioration.
This... really wasn't what I was expecting, well ok I wasn't really sure what to expect in the first place but still. The nanites are very interesting and useful, especially the progenitor nanites. Although I would rather spend my resources on just the hydra nanites than the progenitor nanites. The stasis costs too much for me to spend resources on it so I should just ignore it. I picked hydra nanites and moved on to utilities.
The Utilities section contains eight options which are: Collapsible, Storage, Dummy AI, Tentacles, Additional Form, Ghost, Self-Repair, Sentient AI.
Collapsible
5 resources
Transforms your suit into an item equal to 10% its normal space. Allows full recharging of the suit while collapsed.

5 resources
Grants a human-sized holographic body for your chosen AI. The is made of electronic dust particles that can lightly interact with the world.
Tentacles
10 resources
A "tentacle" that allows you to hack into any electronic device (other than suits) and install a virus that can sabotage any system. It can wirelessly send data on the system it's installed on.

After going over the options, I decided with Collapsible, Storage, Ghost, Self-Repair, and Sentient AI. After choosing, I move onto the next section, combat.
The combat section had a good number of options which ranged from melee to long-range weapons and non-lethal to lethal.

"Now these are weapons," I grin as I read each of the weapons and what they can do. The ones that can go through the armor of the heavy are quite interesting, like the power fist or the plasma bow. I look at each and every weapon and consider them carefully, weighing the pros and cons. They all look incredibly useful, and if I could I would get them all, but I can't because that would be a waste of resources. So after considering them carefully, I decided to go with: Vibroblade and Handgun for when I'm not in the suit. For when I am, I decided: Machine Gun, Plasma Rifle, and Combat Drone.
Once I finished, I was given two more options, the first asked what type of melee weapon I wanted and the second asked what firearm I wanted. I was given a list that ranged from modern to medieval, thankfully I already knew what I wanted. I scrolled until I found them, well actually I did stop a few times to look at some of the other options just out of curiosity. For the melee, I picked an M9 Bayonet; for the firearm, I decided with a Glock 19. It might have been a strange choice if weapons, but I felt that these two would benefit me the most. The M9 Bayonet because of the ways it can be used from an attachment to a gun to a handheld weapon, and considering the little upgrade it got it's really something. For the Glock 19, I picked it since it seemed to be a good choice for a beginner with no previous gun experience.
As I was about to click onto the next section which is Defense, I was given a new message.
Due to the nature of some of the weapons, the suit will automatically resupply you with ammunition once every day. There will also be a required 24 hour waiting period for ammunition creation.
Now that's useful, considering people aren't usually buying ammunition for their plasma rifles. Not to mention the fact that no legitimate business would ever sell ammo to an underage boy who shouldn't even have a gun in the first place.
Once I finished reading, I moved onto the next section, Defense. There are ten options given to me in this section, which are: Flares, Temperature Regulation_1, Temperature Regulation_2, Improved Hull, Distortion Field, Physical shield, Plasma Shield, and Invisibility.
Flares
5 resources
Allows your suit to deploy flares to disrupt targeting systems. Can also create a bright flash to temporarily blind targets.

Improved Hull
15 resources
Reinforced metal that provides more resistance to kinetic and explosive based attacks.
Distorted Field
15 resources
A sphere of energy that surrounds the user which redirects incoming projectiles to avoid direct hits.
Physical shield
15 resources
Deployable shield for blocking incoming attacks
Invisibility
20 resources
A stealth generator that cloaks your suit making it completely invisible and silent. Time used to recharge is equal to the cloaking time. Up to 10 minutes for mesh, 8 minutes for a light, 6 minutes for medium, and up to 4 minutes for heavy.
Plasma shield
25 resources
Energy powered shield that blocks all incoming damage to a certain amount. Once the shield is broken, it takes 30 seconds for it to recharge for reuse.
Once I finished looking at all of the options, I looked over at the resource section to see that I had only 35 resources left.
"Ah, crap,"
I only had enough resources for a few more and depending on what I chose they can either be really good or shit. I carefully look at each of them weighing each pro and con. Each had their benefits and would help me eventually, but I only had so much to spend. I had a few options I could go with two fifteens and one five, one twenty and a fifteen, or a twenty-five and two fives.
"Fucking shit," I rub my face with my cold hands, I really needed to get back inside I was freezing. Which I will do...Once I figure out what I'm going to pick at least. I needed to pick or else I'll be here for a while; after a while of thinking, I decided to go with the twenty-five and two fives option. I quickly picked the plasma shield, flares, and temperature resistance_1 before I changed my mind.
Once I all of the resources were used, the same voice I had heard earlier repeated all of my options and asked for my confirmation.
"Confirmation accepted. Deployment in progress."
Once it finished talking a loud noise started coming from the pod which sounded like metal being hit or sawed. After a minute of waiting, I started as if someone was watching me. I didn't really think much of it since I get paranoid whenever I do something I probably shouldn't do. That was until I heard the sound of a picture being taken. I look around to find where the sound came from, only to discover that there was no one.
"Uh oh," Now either I'm going insane or, someone just took a picture of me and disappeared before I could get a look at them.
"Crap, how could I forget to watch out for the neighbors," I really can't believe that I could forget about someone seeing me. I wasn't thinking about the other people I was only thinking about this pod in the middle of my back fucking yard. Before I could internally scold myself for my idiocy, I the voice began talking again.
"Deployment complete, please enter the suit for the surgical implants."
"S-Surgical implants. crap another thing I didn't think of, am I really this fucking stupid," The answer was probably yeah, considering I didn't think of how I would be getting these implants into my body until now.
As I was having these thoughts, the pod started to open, to reveal the suit that I had chosen with weapons included. I couldn't help but stare in awe and great joy, this was something ripped right out of a movie or book. The dumbass kid that's not really a dumbass just makes mistakes realizes or gets something that makes him different than everyone else. What follows is a life of action and adventure where he gets a harem or something along those lines. Or hell maybe said, boy, realizes that everything isn't as amazing as he believed it to be.
The suit opened up in a rather slow and dramatic way. Really reminded me of the movies to build up anticipation from the audience. The inside appeared to be slightly leathered on a few places. The places leathered were as followed: My head, my neck, and my back. Everything else was coated in the same metal the suit was made out off. There were also holes in the middle of the leather which were a slightly deeper plus they were surrounded by metal. It was only present in the back and head which, I assume was connected with the fact that I chose nerve suit. Or maybe not, maybe it was for aesthetic reasons, and I'm just an idiot it's possible although I kinda thought that. While its fun making fun of myself over how dumb I can be at times, I'm not so stupid that I am unable to make decisions that are logical or remember my choices on my suit.
"Repeat, please enter suit to finalize surgical implants."
I quickly snap back to reality to realize that I've been standing here thinking to myself about how much of an idiot I am who isn't actually really an idiot but does make dumb mistakes.
"Well, I guess I wasted enough time," I give a small sigh and enter the suit, which is a bit too big now that I'm inside.
"Crap, how am I actually go-," Before I could finish my sentence I felt something wrap around my legs. I quickly look down to see what appeared to be a metal brace clapped onto my leg, as I tried to move it did, along with the suit itself. Out of surprise, I swear, and before I could for any sort of thought I felt something wrap around my waist. It was similar to the metal brace looking thing wrapped around my leg, but instead, it was around my waist. For the second time, before I could comment on this, I suddenly started to rise until the gap in height was no longer an issue. The braces the covered my leg and waist had lifted me which was quite convenient since I wouldn't be able to use the suit otherwise.
"Damn man, that really surprised me, I legitimately did not expect this," I slip my arms into the suits arms and saw it close. I felt something nice and soft wrap around my arms and fingers. I couldn't really tell what it was I could only say that it was soft and felt warm like a blanket.
"Warning, due to the need of accessing the nervous system for controls, pain, will be unavoidable."
"To avoid loss of life due to excruciating pain, the pain receptors in the brain will be blocked for the time being as well as any time when connecting to the suit."
"Wait! Excruciating wh-ahhh!" Unbearable pain passes through me for a short moment before stopping as some as it came, I felt tears flowing down my cheek. The pain was in the back of my head, and it was the worst thing I have ever felt, I felt like I was going to throw up and drop dead.
"Pain receptors blocked, now initiating surgical installation of implants," Immediately after it said that I felt it go back to doing things to my head although this time without the pain. It felt...weird having something go around in your brain, putting things that work in a way that goes over your head. Well, in how sciencey technical way at least since I'm no scientist nor a techie guy.
After a while, it stopped and thankfully I couldn't feel anything out of the ordinary form my body at least not from my head. I finally stopped crying as well, which I don't like having to admit very much in all honesty. I also had time to think as well considering I was too busy with being surprised with the inside of the suit. Actually, now that I think about it, how are my parents I haven't seen them all day. I haven't seen my older brother, and he's usually in his room playing or watching something boring. If my parents left together, they definitely took my brother with them since he is someone with special needs. My second older brother who is younger is then my oldest is most likely at work at the cheesecake factory and my younger brother, he's either with friends or his girl.
"Pain receptors now unblocked."
I didn't really give the suit much attention since I remembered I had the hydra nanites healing me. What I was thinking about was the condition of my family and if they were alright. I was lucky to have the pod land in the backyard and not into the house, but my family they might not have been so fortunate. I need to get back to my room and get my phone to call them, hopefully, they answer.
"Greetings, I am your personal AI, it is a pleasure to meet you."
Before I could get out of the suit or rather, attempt to get out since I don't exactly know how to, I heard a voice.
Y-Yo, new phone who dis," I mentally face palm at my reply
At first, I didn't get a reply, which made me nervous since I feel like I made them think I'm a weird idiot.
"I apologize I am unable to understand what a new phone has anything to do within this conversation,"
"Oh ah, it's alright in fact if you don't mind just forget that this conversation happened,"
"Understood, wiping memory banks."
"Oh, not wait!" Yeah well, it was too late it for me to stop him which I'm slightly thankful for honestly, that conversation was awkward.
After a moment the AI spoke again.
"Greetings, I am your personal AI, it is a pleasure to meet you."
"Yo, nice to meet you too," I made sure not to say anything dumb like before
"As you already know, I am a sentient AI, and I will be influenced by our interactions and your interactions with people,"
Yeah, if it turns into me, I'm screwed for sure.
"I supposed we should start with my appearance, do you have a preference as to what I should look like,"
I usually would have given something like this my full attention or most at least under normal circumstance. But this isn't what you would call normal not by any means especially not now with no idea with the condition of my family.
"Hey AI, as much as I would like to talk about appearances I need to find my family, so do me a favor choose that for your self would you?"
"Affirmative, I will choose an appearance that I find suitable by the time we have located what you call family,"
I wasn't surprised that they didn't know what a family was or at least not really. Although it made me think of what else it didn't know about if I had to guess it might be quite a lot like an amnesiac being let into the world. Well, that doesn't matter at least not now, no, I have far more pressing matters, finding my family.
It's been a long two years.
"Hey, Carlos."
"Yeah?"
"Have you visited your family recently?"
Speaking of family.
"Not recently no, why?"
"I was thinking that we should visit them at least after you've gotten some rest that is."
"That sounds perfect, I haven't had the time to visit them, but I'm sure I can make time tomorrow to do so."
It's been about three weeks since I've last visited them especially my parents at the hospital.
"Well, I suppose I should get to bed now see you tomorrow Alexander."
"See you tomorrow Carlos."
I headed off to my sleeping quarters to get some much-needed shut-eye. As walked I couldn't help but think of my parents, they've been in the hospital for the whole two years. They haven't been awake that's for sure, no, instead they've been in a coma the entire time. About the time I managed to get ahold of my brothers they were injured and suffered much internal damage.
I opened the door to my sleeping quarters.
It was hard not having them around not just emotionally either we suffered financially. It was hard having one brother keep a roof over our heads and put food on the table all by himself. I got a job along with my younger brother to help it was never good enough though we stilled struggled. That was until I joined the Crusaders they not only helped me keep my family safe they also help with the finances.
I changed out of my workout clothes and got into bed.
"I can't wait to see them tomorrow."
I closed my eyes and exhaustion quickly took hold.
Well, here it is, this is my very first posted story ever I really you hoped you like what little was actually written.
I know that there wasn't really much in the way of being sent to "The Familiar of Zero," and that this was just the way of me explaining to anyone that reads this story what my OC is bringing into the mix, but I still hope you enjoy.
If you happened to look at the cyoa that I mentioned this was based on, you know that it lightly touches on the factions. The Safety Net, Outer Haven, The Crusader and so on and so forth I will talk about them in in the next chapter.
And yes, I will finally be starting the whole, Louise summons a human Familiar instead of something cool like a dragon part of the story. Thankfully, I've been working on this story for what seems like months, which possibly was more like half a month really.
For any of you reading, I hope you'll stay tuned for my next chapter! which I hope I can write faster than this one. I will try to make sure that there aren't any writing errors or mistakes, but if you happened to find one, please tell me so I can learn for the mistakes.
Well, that's enough ranting for today, see you all next time!
