Chapter 6: A Single Wish
(SCENE: PHENEX MANSION) (POV: OSCAR)
Half a week ago, we started training for the Rating Game against my old Peerages. The training has been long and hard, but it would be all worth it in the end. Besides, thanks to my inside knowledge, victory is 100% guaranteed.
Right now, I was formulating strategies with Riser. "So, Rias and Sona have an over attachment to those two idiots of theirs, huh?" Riser asks as I nod in confirmation. "Yes, they spoil them to death and would do anything to make them happy. I believe capturing them and threatening to kill them might be our best plan to force Rias & Sona to surrender the Rating Game." I explained.
Riser then wrote that down on a sheet of paper we're making for our Peerages, so we can augment the training and make us perfectly capable of defeating both Rias & Sona's Peerage.
Everything is near completion. We made various plans to defeat the two Peerages as well as contingency plans to fall back on in case things goes badly. But there's one slight wrench in the plans: Rossweisse.
There's nothing we have on her yet, which concerns me greatly. So until we get some more information on her, she'll be handled by Riser and Yubelluna.
Suddenly, my phone dinged, indicating a text message has been sent. I take my phone out to see a text message from Sirzechs.
Oscar, I'm coming over to make an announcement. Gather your Peerage and meet me outside.
I was confused at this. What possible announcement could he make with me and my Peerage? "Hey Riser, Sirzechs just texted me about an announcement. Know what's that about?" I asked.
Riser just shrugs about that. "I don't know. Maybe you all should go see what's that about." He says as I was a bit suspicious about this whole thing. But I pushed those thoughts aside as I believe it to be nothing.
(POV CHANGE: 3RD PERSON) (SCENE CHANGE: OUTSIDE OF THE PHENEX MANSION)
Oscar and his Peerage exit the Phenex Mansionas Sirzechs is seen waiting for them patiently outside of the Mansion. "So, what's the announcement, Cousin?" Oscar asks.
"Well Oscar, after much discussion, Zatouji agrees to let you and your Peerage pick your Familiars." He reveals, shocking Oscar greatly while his Peerage were confused at this.
"Familiars?" They all asked in unison as Oscar explains everything to them. "Familiars are like little helpers to us Devils. We bound with them to make them ours and we help each other with different tasks." He explain to the best of his abilities.
The rest of his Peerage got interested at this. "Really? Can we see your Familiar, Oscar?" Jaune asks, causing Oscar to develop a saddened expression on his face. Sirzechs decides to take over. "Oscar couldn't get a Familiar because of the stupidity, ignorance and inconsiderate behavior of my Sister & Sona. On the day he was suppose to get a Familiar, he got stockpiled with so much work that he couldn't go with them. Even if he wasn't busy, they didn't inform him on when they'll be leaving or anything." Sirzechs explains, leaving his Peerage saddened at this.
"Oh, I'm sorry for bringing up back memories." Jaune says as Oscar puts on a smile of reassurance on his face and gives Jaune a friendly hand on his shoulder. "It's cool. I'm over that now." Oscar says as he turns to Sirzechs. "But enough about me, time for us to get our familiars." He says as Sirzechs nod in agreement.
Sirzechs then opens up a portal and he, Oscar and his Peerage enters through it.
(SCENE CHANGE: FAMILIAR FOREST)
The portal Sirzechs created appeared in the center of a forest as he, Oscar and his Peerage appears from the other side. "So, this is the Familiar Forest? It certainly fits the bill." Oscar says as an almost insane laughter is heard.
Everyone except Sirzechs got on guard and prepared for battle when some guy appears on top of the branches from one of the trees.
"Need a Familiar Master? I'm your man! Zatouji! Melts in your mouth, not in your hands!" The man now identified as Zatouji exclaims as Oscar and his Peerage have blank expressions on their faces.
"Did a Pokemon Obsessed Hobo escape from the asylum?" Oscar asks bluntly, causing Sirzechs to hold in his laughter and Zatouji to nearly fall out of the tree in shock at what Oscar has said. "I'm not a hobo! I'm Zatouji the Familiar Master!" He exclaims as he jumps down from the tree and approaches us.
"I'll be your guide here in the Familiar Forest. Follow me and I'll help you all find your Familiars!" He excitedly exclaims as he marches off into the forest.
Oscar and his Peerage decides to follow his lead as they head into the forest.
(POV CHANGE: OSCAR)
It's been 30 minutes and everyone else in my Peerage has gotten their Familiars, but I haven't. I don't know why, but the Familiars are just somehow not for me.
I was about to give up when I suddenly started to hear voices.
'Come to us'
'Come to us'
Normally I would've obeyed my first instincts and just walk away, but something about these voices just feel trustworthy. And so, I followed the voices deep within the Familiar Forest.
I found myself at the entrance of an ancient and beautiful temple. As I approached the temple, I saw statues of strange creatures I've never seen before along the temple's path.
As I reached the temple's entrance, I starting sensing some sort of Supernatural energy from the temple. But it's neither demonic or holy energy, it was something completely different.
Suddenly, the temple's doors opened up all of a sudden. With a deep breath in and an exhale out, I entered the temple.
(SCENE CHANGE: INSIDE THE TEMPLE) (POV CHANGE: 3RD PERSON)
Oscar heads deep within the temple as he sees various paintings of the Supernatural past, which included the war between Devils and Angels. He also sees paintings of various people that seems to bare the symbol of the Hero Clan, the same Clan as most of the members of my Peerage were in before they were banished and disowned from it.
He soon found himself in the center of a large coliseum with larger statues surrounding it. "By the Devils bloodline, this place is beautiful." He says to himself.
Suddenly, the statues eyes started glowing brightly as cracks started appearing. When the cracks reached their tipping point, they exploded in a bright light.
Covering his eyes, Oscar slowly opens his eyes as he tries to regain his vision. Once his vision has returned, Oscar was shocked to see the statues have been given life.
"Young man. You have answered our call, now we are honor bound to grant you one single wish." They all say in unison, shocking Oscar greatly. Upon regaining his composure, Oscar thinks long and hard on what his wish should be.
However, he doesn't have anything he wants that he either already have or wishes to get through his own hands. But then, one thing came into his mind: most of his Peerage members.
They've suffered greatly and Oscar doesn't know how to help them. Maybe these creatures can help him. "Great Creatures, all I want is to my friends happy and I don't know where to start. So, I want to use my wish to find a way to make them happy." He says.
The Creatures sit still and quietly as Oscar fears he might've made a mistake. Suddenly, a Scroll teleported into his hands. "The Scroll reveals to you the secret to bringing your friends happiness. As well as restoring the honor to the Hero name to all." The Creatures says as they started disappearing, leaving Oscar alone in the colosseum.
Once they left, Oscar tucks the Scroll away and makes his way out of the temple, not noticing a pair of eyes looking at him in the distance.
(SCENE CHANGE: PORTAL)
Back at the portal from where they came, Sirzechs, Zatouji and the rest of Oscar's Peerage are waiting for Oscar to show up. "He's been gone too long. I'm starting to not like it." Naruto says as most of the Peerage agrees.
"I think we should start looking for him. He might be in trouble." Rein says. Then, Oscar's voice called out. "Don't worry, I'm completely fine." Oscar's voice says.
Everyone turned to the direction of the voice to see Oscar approaching them with a Scroll in his hand. "Oscar, where have you been? You disappeared from right under our noises." Ichika questions.
"Well, I've been around. But I found something interesting you Ex-Hero Clan members should see." He says as he hands Rein the Scroll he's gotten. Both he and the others from the Hero Clan read the Scroll as they adopted faces of shock & interest. "Of course, this is all up to you guys, though. If you all want to do this, then we'll help you." He says.
The Ex-Hero Clan members looked at each other as they gave a nod. Jaune then takes the Scroll and hands it to Oscar. "We can't do anything yet because of both the Rating Game and the Wedding. But after we finished with that, we'll call for it." He says as Oscar nods in agreement and takes the Scroll back.
"Looks like you got your Familiar, kid." Zatouji says, pointing behind Oscar. Confused, Oscar turned around to see a pure white creature with green eyes behind him. Suddenly, the creature shapeshifts into a blond haired woman.
"Whoa. Who are you?" Oscar asks as the woman speaks in a voice that's as mythical and spiritual as her other form. "I am Dreamplane, the guardian of dreams. I have been longing for the day when someone answers the call of my fellow Hyrens. And when they decided to grant you a wish, you used it on your friends instead of yourself. That shows to me that you are selfless and compassionate, that makes you worthy. So, I have decided to become your Familiar." Dreamplane explains.
Surprised at this, Oscar turned to Sirzechs and his Peerage for answer as they all gestured for him to go for it. He then clears his mind of all doubt as he performs the ritual to make Dreamplane his Familiar.
Once he claims Dreamplane as his Familiar, Oscar and his Peerage bid Zatouji a good day & leaves the Familiar Forest.
(Here's chapter 6 done. Sorry for the wait, but I have been working on a Izuku Yagi that I'm thinking on publishing. Anyways, next chapter will be the Start of the Rating Game.)
