Hello everyone! This is my first MAR fanfic and was inspired by MAR Heaven-FallenAngel to write it. If you have read her story The Chess Blast Off, you will realize that both of these stories contain the same OC characters since we are working together with other MHJ forum members in producing chracters representing ourselves. My character is Rena in this case. I must finish this fic cause if I don't I'll have a couple of people waiting to kill me ' Enjoy!
Disclaimer: I do not own Marchen Awakens Romance or any of it's characters.
Chapter 1: New Arrivals
At Reginrave Castle….
"Gintan!"
Ginta froze on the spot and turned his head around to see who was calling him. Sure enough, it was Dorothy the witch from Kaldea. He didn't even get the chance to open his mouth and greet her, for in a second she pounced on him like a cat in love.
"How are you doing today Gintan?" Dorothy asked the spiky pony-tailed hair boy, hugging him close to her. "It's such a lovely day today isn't it? Why don't we go for a walk?"
"Dorothy…I can't….breathe," Ginta said in a muffle voice, struggling to free himself from Dorothy's tight embrace.
"I'm sorry Ginta," said Dorothy quickly letting him go.
"So what were you asking me again?" Ginta asked her, rubbing his neck.
Dorothy smiled. "I was asking you whether you wanted to go for a walk or not," She repeated her question, hugging Ginta's arm in a pleading way.
Staring into Dorothy's puppy dog eyes, Ginta sighed. He could never refuse her. He nodded. "Sure why not?"
Dorothy faced lighten up. "Thank you Gintan!" She exclaimed cheerfully, hugging Ginta again.
"Dorothy, you're suffocating me again!"
"Dorothy, what are you doing to Ginta!" a female voice interrupted.
Dorothy released Ginta and the both of them turned to see Snow, princess of Lestraval, standing a few feet away with her servant dog Edward.
"Hey there, Snow," Ginta greeted the young princess.
"Snow smiled sweetly at back. So sweetly that it made Ginta's skin crawled. "Hello Ginta. I was going to ask you if you wanted to go on a nice stroll with me since Phantom gave us a day off, but it looks like that you are already going with Dorothy," she said, her smile twitching. "I'll just go on my own then."
Sensing Snow's raising anger, Ed fidgeted uneasily. "Princess Snow, I have a good idea. Why don't we all go together?" he suggested flopping his dangling ears nervously. "We can also invite the others too. Wouldn't it be great for everyone to go on a nice walk and talk without having to worry about the War Game for one day?"
"Yeah! That's a great idea Ed!" exclaimed Ginta in agreement.
"Yes it is!" Snow remarked happily.
Dorothy on the other hand wasn't very joyful about the decision, but agreed anyway.
"Sounds like a fun relaxing idea, but I'm afraid that it will have to wait," someone said.
The group turned to see Nanashi, the girl loving thief from Luberia standing behind them.
"Why's that Nanashi?" Ginta questioned the long haired thief curiously.
Nanashi shrugged. "I'm not sure myself. Al-chan said for me to come get you guys and meet him in the dinning room of the castle."
"Alviss told you?" Ginta said, wondering what the blue eyed bishounen had in stored for them this time.
"We can always go for a walk together anytime after this business is over," remarked Nanashi, putting an arm around Dorothy's waist.
BANG!
Dorothy smacked Nanashi hard on the head with her Zephyroth Broom. "In your dreams!"
"You are always in it every night," said a daze Nanashi.
"Shut up and let's go already!"
"So, what's with calling us all here like this Al-chan?" Nanashi asked as the group entered the dinning hall.
"I told you already. Don't call me that!" said Alviss in annoyance, making a face at Nanashi.
"No, not that. I mean, why did you call us here? Do you have something to tell us Al-chan?" Nanashi asked again.
Alviss gave Nanashi a cold glare in which can send shivers down the spine of anyone who is struck by it.
Nanashi gulped. "So, do you have something to tell us A-Alviss?"
Alviss shook his head. "I don't know either. Alan-sama told me to assemble you guys here. I don't know what he's planning though."
"Well, I'm sure Alan-sama must have a good important reason in doing this," remarked Ed. "Don't you think so Princess Snow?"
Snow nodded. "I do hope that there isn't going to be any bad news though."
Suddenly, footsteps can be heard approaching the room. A few seconds later Alan and Gaira entered, followed by two unknown figures in black hooded capes, one taller than the other.
"It seems that everyone is now here," said Alan, looking around the room.
"Alan-sama, would you mind telling us why you and Gaira-sama assembled us all here and who those two people are?" Alviss asked.
"Yeah, tell us already old man," Jack pitched in. "Who are those scary looking guys anyways?"
"Don't tell me that you brought people from Chess over here!" Babbo exclaimed suspiciously.
"Why on earth would I do that?" Alan yelled at the talking kedama shaped ARM. "You two can take off your hoods now," he instructed the two mysterious people.
The black hooded capes were flung off, revealing two young girls underneath. One of them looked a little bit younger than Ginta and Snow while the other one looked about the same age as Alviss. Both of them bore a pendant with the Crossguard symbol.
"This is Rena and Rosemary," said Gaira, introducing the two girls. "They are fellow Crossguard members who have been doing surveillance around MAR Heaven since the War Game started."
"They're cute!" said Jack, drooling over the carpet.
"Yes, especially the girl name Rosemary!" said Nanashi. "She's beautiful! Not to mention sexy."
BANG!
"Don't you dare say things like that to Rose-neechan and me perverts!" Rena shouted, hitting both Nanashi and Jack on the head with her sword-like ARM.
"When a girl hits you it means that she likes you," said Nanashi, rubbing his head.
Rena turned a deep crimson red. "It does not!"
Rosemary pulled out a doll made form straw. "Stop saying perverted things or fall under the curse of my voodoo doll!" she exclaimed.
Jack shivered. "So, you're a darkness and ghost ARM user? Having Alviss near by is scary enough and now look who else we have."
Rena suddenly let go of her ARM. It fell, clashing to the floor. Rosemary also became silent.
Jack looked from one face to another. "Did I say something wrong?"
Alviss spun his head toward Alan, his eyes widen with shock. "Rena couldn't possibly be-"
Alan nodded solemnly. "She's your sister."
Yeah, well, I always wanted Alviss as a brother.' Hehe. Anyways, if I make a mistake somewhere then please tell me and don't forget to review and also read FallenAngel's The Chess Blast Off! It's crazy, but fun. So if you like crazy funny stories then her's the one!
