The Immortal of Zero

Chapter I: The summoning of the Lost Immortal Knight

Darkness.

He felt nothing but darkness, after the battle with Ryu-Kai at the Hill of Pangaea. He fought with all his might against the mad Immortal and his Servants. He missed all those he left behind. Hell, he even missed bashing heads with Aldous Xenon Lightspeed, once servant of Ryu-Kai who defected to his side because he proved to be a worthy adversary. He also missed his wife Evangeline A.K. McDowell - Deathstone, the Legendary Magi Nosferatu whom he set free from a curse by marrying her, though that would make him look like a pedophile. His true father Kaiser Deathstone, who died by his hand because of a stupid prophecy. His brothers Blitzkrieg and Darkwing, who he haven't had time for a peaceful bonding.

His powers were sealed after he defeated Ryu-Kai, just before he died. Even though he had sealed most of his powers after the fight, he retains his prize possessions; the Golden Diamond, which cursed him with Immortality and Knowledge beyond dimensions, still shone in his forehead; his Dragonheart and Zatetsuken, which he used to beat Ryu-Kai; his Pocket Dimension Ability, which stored most of his weaponry in case he don't want to use his main weapons; and his Pactio cards of Evangeline A.K. McDowell - Deathstone and Chachamaru Karakuri. The abilities he lost; his ability to travel dimensions, because he can't stand to travel between worlds without consequences with the Holy Magic Ministry; his ability to age like a normal human being; and his ability manipulate beings, which he couldn't stand controlling others.

He cursed the Elders of Venusia for making him involved in this. He didn't want a complicated life to begin with. All he wanted was a normal life, being human, even if he wasn't genetically human to begin with. He started blaming himself for what happened to his foster parents, who were killed by Ryu-Kai.

He walked through the darkness, as though trying to find solitude, then all of a sudden-

"I beg of you…"

He halted from his tracks, before he looks around, trying to find the source of the girl's voice.

"My servant who lives somewhere in the universe!"

Servant? Is there someone who asked for his help?

"Oh sacred, beautiful and strong familiar spirit!"

Sacred? Well, he could begin to get used to it. He hated the fact that he's more powerful that anyone he came across. Beautiful? His enemies would laugh their asses off when they heard this. And he only used his strength to protect, not kill.

"I desire and here I plead from my heart!"

He sensed determination and desperation in the girl's voice, as a green portal appeared in front of him, slightly blinding him. He also sensed that this girl wants to prove her worth. 'Whoever this girl wants to summon me must mean that this girl wants a being to accompany her.'

"Answer to my guidance!"

'Very well. I shall lend my strength.' He stepped into the portal.

"The last one to summon her Familiar….. Ms. Louise Françoise Le Blanc de La Vallière!" a balding and a bespectacled man announced

A pink haired girl walked in the front, she was pink haired girl with a reddish-brown, she was nervous because she will summon a familiar, but there is one problem, she is crap in magic, not to mention her anything that she casts would result into an explosive spectacle, hence the nickname "The Zero"

Louise chanted the summoning spell "My name is Louise Francoise Le Blanc de La Vallière … Pentagon of the Five Elemental Powers… Heed my summoning… and bring forth my familiar!"

An explosion occured in front of her, threatening to blow everyone away by the sheer force from it.

Louise had become accustomed to the explosions that accompanied, or resulted from, her spell casting, though this one was a bit too strong even for her. In point of fact, if she were to somehow cast a spell without blowing something up she'd be concerned. For all of three seconds before the elation sets in, but that moment wasn't yet here and she had something more important to focus on. This cloud of smoke was far larger than any that resulted from her previous spells and granted, this was a summoning spell and thus likely more powerful than a simple transfiguration but still…

When the smoke finally cleared, a young man was visible. Louise felt a pit open up deep in her stomach at the sight of her newly called familiar.

It was far from her ideal fantasy of dragons and manticores as it could possibly be for it was something she had thought impossible, inconceivable! She had summoned no manner of legendary monster or seemingly ordinary beast but something worse.

Louise the Zero had summoned a human… more than that, she summoned a commoner.

But she sensed that this was no ordinary commoner. The young man has shoulder length-white silver hair, a face so elegant one would mistake his face as a carved masterpiece, though ruined by his pair of mismatched eyes; Sky Blue eye in his left, Ivory Gold eye in his right. He wore a black leather trench coat, a pair of black pants, a white shirt under his frock coat inside his trench coat. He seems to be clutching his head, as though comprehending what happened to him.

"Look! Louise summoned a commoner!" one student commented.

"But what's with his clothing?"

"Yeah it doesn't look like a noble's clothes…. Does it?"

'This is the first time someone called unto me, though that person should try to keep the flashy things to a minimum.' The young man thought, a bit dizzy by the summoning ritual. The Golden Diamond only bestows Immortality and Vast Knowledge, not immunity against dizzy spells. The young man then scanned his surroundings; it seems that he was in some other place, not to mention there was a crowd of people that wears cloaks and they seem to be examining him, then he noticed there was a stone castle that he only sees on the picture books. Then Louise approached in front of him and asked "Who are you?"

"My name is Kai Deathstone." He answered politely, trying not to provoke hostilities in first meetings. He remembered the first time he was rude to a lady, and the results was he being in a hospital bed with a dozen concussions all over his body. That was before his destiny took place.

"Where are you from, commoner?"

"What? Commoner? What do you mean? And what's with the clothes and those sticks that you are wielding? Is this some costume party or something". asked Kai, curious.

"Hey Louise! We expected that you will just cause some explosion or something but…. This is more hilarious that we thought!..hmhmhmHAHAHAHA!" Then everyone except Louise and Kai started to laugh.

"I just made a mistake! I swear!" the girl shouted.

"Mistake! The only mistake that we expect is that you will summon a dragon or manticore!"

"Of course!, What do you expect she's Louise The Zero!" and then crowd burst into laughter again.

The crowd suddenly stopped laughing and they parted making a way for a man with a big wooden staff and black robe, "He seemed to be their leader or teacher or something, but there is something about him, he was never letting his guard down…" Kai observed, and then Louise suddenly turned away from him and approached the man.

"Good timing! Mr. Colbert can I ask for something?" the pink-haired girl asked quickly

"What is it, Ms. La Vallière?"

"Can I summon a familiar again? I just got it wrong! Please!"

" I am afraid that I cannot allow that" Mr. Colbert answered.

"But why!"

"It's because it's forbidden, you performed the "Summon Servant "and I am telling you this, it's a sacred ritual, you cannot just perform it just easy as that. The familiar that you summoned is based from what element you are attuned to, and to tell you honestly I believe it's the first time that a human was summoned, but I am telling you, whatever or whoever you summon will be your familiar whether you like it or not. Springtime Summoning Ritual is a sacred tradition and I will not bend it just because your familiar didn't suit your preferences. "

Louise didn't have the chance to retort Mr. Colbert and she just dropped her shoulders in resignation to her fate.

"Springtime Summoning Ritual? Is this what this event is?" asked Kai, looking at Mr. Colbert, then looked at Louise. "And this girl summoned me?"

Mr. Colbert just ignored him and told Louise "Now could you continue with the ceremony?"

"What! With him!"

"Yes, with him" Mr. Colbert answered and added "Besides there will be another class after this, hurry up."

Louise then angrily looked at Kai, and she said "Hey, commoner"

"Yes?"

"You are lucky; Commoners don't get an opportunity like this"

"Lucky? Whatever do you mean?" he asked.

"Yes you are! You are a commoner!" Louise spat. "Now shut up! I want to finish this as possible quit your incessant barking!" then she closed her eyes and waved her wand.

"My name is Louise Françoise Le Blanc de La Vallière. Pentagon of the Five Elemental Powers; bless this humble being, and make him my familiar."

While chanting the words, she touched Kai's forehead with the tip of her wand and kissed his lips. Kai was surprised by this sudden gesture. She leaned back in surprise, licking her lips. 'Vanilla?' A blush of embarrassment turned to anger when she saw her familiar's reaction.

"I take it that this is your first kiss?" he frowned.

"It is! So be proud, you commoner!"

But those words barely came out of her mouth, as a torrent of light energy appeared around her familiar, his body slightly visible before vanishing inside the energy pillar. She, along with Mr. Colbert and the other students, were terrified as though the energy might burn them. The energy pillar dispersed, as Kai re-emerged from it, in a totally different outfit; He's now wearing a blood-red cloak over his own suit, his eyes now both Sky Blue. Several different swords appeared circling around him in. His left hand now embedded by unfamiliar runes. His Golden Diamond transformed, now visible in his forehead.

"I am Kaizer von Deathstone, son of Kaiser Deathstone, Immortal Devil Knight of Parallel Worlds. I shall honor your contract and protect you from those who wish to hurt you! Command me, and I shall comply." he replied, as a surge of wind erupted from him, as though he's also cloaked in wind himself. The other students were now afraid by the aura he's giving off, Mr. Colbert was intrigued by this show of raw power, and Louise, who was angry with him, now gleeful that she summoned a familiar that can be as powerful as Brimir himself. "Your orders, Mistress?"
