The same color as the night sky I was staring up at,

That is what I thought until I noticed a girl with black hair, it was tied into twin tails.

Violet - her eyes looked at me in shock, I could hear her muttering if it was true that I was alive, but I did not understand what she meant.

Yes, her eyes continue to stare at me in shock for a while. I noticed that my vision was darkening,

I suddenly was looking up at someone, he had Red hair that was as crimson as the blood that was on my fingertips.

I noticed another person with silver hair, she had a stoic face but it morphed into a small sad smile, but I thought I could see hope flash in her eyes.

I had finally succumbed to the darkness, the last thing I heard was a faint whisper...

"I will save you, Lucius, I won't lose you again..."

Lucius Hyoudou woke up with a groan, he rubbed his eyes, groaning as he got out of his bed. Lucius walked towards his window, opening it and he was immediately greeted with the smell of fresh air. Lucius looked over towards the trees, he thought he had seen something pass by but it could have been his mind playing tricks on him again. Lucius had been having some weird feelings lately, he had been feeling he was being watched but never caught whoever it was. They always seemed to disappear from sight, Lucius sighed, wanting to get out of his paranoia. He sighed once again as he ran a hand through his silver hair with black streaks.

Lucius went into the bathroom, wanting to get prepared for the day and knew that his friend, Koneko, would come knocking for him. Hoping that he would go on the walks they usually went on, since the beginning of the school year. It was weird, Koneko was a silent type and sometimes, a person of few words. These few words were usually directed towards his brother's behavior and he understood because sometimes, Lucius would also get annoyed with his brother, but not wanting to make him upset, kept his mouth shut. Although Koneko had taken it upon herself to correct him on his certain activities, although they were usually harsh words and straight to the point. Sometimes, Lucius admired her bluntness.

After finishing his shower, Lucius came out and breathed a sigh, he loved feeling fresh. He did not like the feeling of being dirty or grimy, it was a weird thing to him. Lucius walked out, finding his Kuoh Uniform laid out for him. He did not go with the blazer like the majority of the boys in Kuoh, he went with a jumped that loosely fit around his body. Finally finishing clothing himself, Lucius grabbed his backpack and glasses, he also clipped on his wristband that had biblical motifs, with numerous angel wings, crosses, and a halo. He remembered when his mother had bought it for him, it was on a trip to the Vatican.

Lucius walked out of the room, he was met with the smell of scrambled eggs. He made his way down towards the Kitchen, knowing that he would be greeted by his mother and father. The People who meant more to him than anything in the world, Lucius was interrupted when he passed his brother's room. He heard his brother oddly groaning, he did not want to think what was happening but for the sake of messing with him, he knocked on the door and he heard the sounds of smashing, pained groans, and panicked footsteps. Lucius simply waited for his brother to open the door, and when he finally did, he greeted Issei with a small smile that had Issei smiling back because of it.

"Issei, good morning to you! Are you ready for school? Because I was hoping that we could walk together with Koneko,"

Issei's smile immediately dropped at the mention of the woman, now don't get Issei wrong, his brother's friends were sometimes his own. Only the School Mascot known as Koneko Toujou was something else, Issei did nothing to hide her dislike for her but always hid it in the presence of his brother, not wanting to argue with the woman in front of his younger brother.

"Uh... Not yet, I am rather busy but I will be ready soon. Although do we have to walk with Koneko?"

Lucius looked at his brother with a pout and puppy dog eyes, he could see that Issei was slowly crumbling and he grudgingly agreed. Lucius knew that would work with his older brother, it always did when they were younger and Lucius wanted to play longer with Issei, who wanted to read his Light Novels. Lucius sighed in harmony as he continued to walk down towards the Kitchen, he heard his Father and Mother talking with somebody. He knew it could only be one person, and he saw the person as he walked into the Kitchen and was immediately tackled into a hug by his Mother.

His mother had let him go, with a kiss on his forehead, while his Father had settled for a ruffling of his hair. Something that unsettled Lucius as he spent time with it, although it was an untamed mane of hair, he still did his best to make it look good. Lucius looked at his best friend and his tiny crush, Koneko Toujou. The two were both First Years in Kuoh Academy and took all their classes together, which on occasion had joined together with his brother's year group. He smiled and waved towards her, he took a seat opposite her, which left a seat next to her and it seemed Lucius had done it on purpose, as he winked at Koneko, who was glaring at him with that stoic face of hers.

"Koneko! I did not know that you would be here, it's wonderful to see you!"

If anyone paid attention they would have noticed Koneko's cheek turn a rosy hue with how he had stated her name. Lucius simply ate his food, while somehow remaining clean. His habits of remaining clean had extended towards his food, Lucius heard a small groan of annoyance and turned around to see his brother entering the kitchen. It was obvious that he had not seen Koneko yet, but when he fully entered the kitchen, he saw the table and his eyes widened. His jaw dropped, his finger shaking as he pointed towards Koneko.

"What's she doing here!?"

Lucius not liking the tone of his brother looked at him with narrowed eyes,

"She is eating I believe Issei, something that we all do!"

Issei looked at his brother and knew it was not a fight he could win, Lucius continued to eat and ignore his brother, but he could Issei grumbling about the fact that he had to sit next to the Loli. Lucius bowed his head, allowing a small smile to form on his face, but only one person noticed and kicked him under the table. Lucius' face went red from the pain and he swore that he could see Koneko smirking at him, he snickered and knew that she possibly caught him out.

"Luci, I've been hearing that you're going to compete against Yumi in Kendo practice today, is that true?"

Lucius gave Koneko a small pout, she had given him the nickname and used it to annoy him occasionally, but over time, he had gotten used to it and let it go. Although it still did annoy him here and there, he let himself wonder onto the other words that Koneko had said. He never knew he was fighting Yumi, he remembered that Katase and Murayama said he would receive a special sparring match, but he never knew it was Yumi...

"Hmm, I never knew it was Yumi, but I cannot wait to spar with a person of her skill. It shall be quite exhilarating"

Koneko eyes widened for a fraction of a second, but they soon went back to normal. If she did not know any better, she would have guessed that Lucius was looking forward towards the sparring match, but she was adamant that she had seen wrong. Lucius was not a battle-thirsty maniac, she was sure that he was the religious and innocent she met at the start of the school year.

"Well as I am in the same club as her, I can you tell that she looks forward towards the sparring match just as much as you do,"

Lucius nodded, standing up and he motioned for them to go ahead to school, this got comical wide eyes from Issei who was shakily pointing a finger towards Koneko. He was shaking his head, not wanting to be anywhere near the girl. Koneko felt the same, but simply hid it behind her stoic face and stood up, grabbing her backpack in the process. She walked out, waiting for Issei to follow. Issei continued to grumble about stupid Innocent Shota brothers, Lucius simply waved to him as he left and went towards his room, wanting to make sure that he did not forget anything.

Little did the young Lucius Hyoudou know, he was being watched by the God of Speed, who sat on a tree, the very person who had seen him before. He was gathering an army and he felt this frequency, he was ready for more. He was going to give the fight that the foundation craved for!

Lucius looked over towards his bedstand, knowing that he had left something inside and he saw his second wristband, placing on his left wrist. This one was from his favorite TV Show, Magical Girl Levia-Tan, apparently there was a convention today also and he just had to go. Lucius walked back downstairs, saying bye to his Mother and Father before he left.

As Lucius was walking down the street, he noticed many girls of Kuoh Academy looking at him with red stained cheeks, he sighed and kept walking, but this time at a faster pace. He had never known what he had done to earn his nickname as 'Mascot of Kuoh Academy' and it was simply because of his small height, but along with his innocent and childlike face that sometimes he used to his advantage. Lucius and Koneko had shared the nickname of Mascot, but they both that each loathed the title and never wanted it at all. Lucius at the pace he was the going and the stuff that was on his mind, he failed to notice that he would bump into a cosplaying Magical Girl...

"Kya!"

Godspeed watched this with a small amount of amusement, chuckling deeply. It seemed this earth had a lot of clumsiness and just plain superhero luck as he seemed to have a little luck with the women. Hm, he wondered how this would end up but he shrugged to himself, going back to watching with curious interest. 

Both screamed as they fell on their butts, Lucius shook his head and looked back up to meet the face of his crush, Serafall Levia-Tan. Lucius' eyes had immediately gone wide, his breathing had started to get heavy and his palms were sweaty. He was staring into her wide eyes, but he was barely registering what she was saying...

Serafall was whispering to herself, not thinking that he was back and he did seem to know her, she thought for a second that her Lucius is back and she would need to inform Grayfia and the others. Only she could not help but think this was a trick of her mind, her Lucius could not be back. She saw and remembered that moment as it haunted for years,

'You cannot be back! Not after all that's happened, not after what we all went through in your absence, where have you been!?'

While Serafall was having an internal conflict, she looked up when Lucius held out his hands towards her, she placed her hand in his softly, as if he would disappear if she gripped too tightly. Lucius looked at her with a nervous smile, he was in front of his crush and he thought he would only see her at the convention but it seemed fate had a different plan.

"It is nice to meet you Serafall!"

Lucius noticed that his voice went a high pitch towards the end and shook his head, wondering what was wrong with him. He noticed that Serafall was looking towards him with wide eyes, possibly analyzing him for all he is worth. He felt the need to cover himself, but he knew he was fully clothed but it seemed like the Idol, Serafall knew him somehow, which was weird to Lucius because he was sure they never met.

"Serafall?"

Lucius moved forward, trying to get her attention but also not make her uncomfortable...

"Huh?"

She let out intelligently, Serafall looked at Lucius and her eyes seemed to water, she was definitely holding herself back and from what, that was something she only knew and would keep to herself. She sighed, smiling at him...

"Nice to meet you! I am the Magical Girl, Levia-Tan! But you can call me Sera!"

Serafall struck her signature pose, but Lucius' cheeks stained red once he saw the pose. Lucius let out a squeak as he saw the pose and his eyebrows raised to his hairline, he smiled towards her, hoping that the Idol did not think anything creepy about him.

"Hi! Sera, I was wondering what the star of a famous TV Show is doing here? In Kuoh of all places,"

Serafall pouted and stopped doing her pose, tears started to go down her cheeks and she looked towards Lucius with a sad smile, something that made the boy look at her with a sad smile also.

"I cannot find my precious Sona! I was supposed to give her big kisses! But I cannot find her, she was supposed to be here, where is my precious Sona!?"

Lucius frowned, he had remembered a Sona at the academy. She was the head of the Student Council, Lucius would have never thought that the strict Sona knew the hyperactive Idol. It seemed like a comedy waiting to happen, Lucius stepped forward and was invading the personal space of Serafall, although she did not seem to mind and in fact, encouraged it...

"I know a Sona, she goes to the Academy and it's not that far from here. I can take you there Sera-Chan!"

Lucius said as he was excited to help his TV Inspiration and Crush, Serafall looked at him with a wide smile and started to jump up and down in joy. Immediately Serafall grabbed Lucius' hand, Lucius went tomato red and looked like he popped a blood vessel when Serafall held his hand. His breathing hitched and he looked down towards the joint hands for a second, but he was suddenly pulled along by Serafall who was running towards the academy...

"I have a ticket to go to your convention Sera, I was wondering if you're going to be there?"

Serafall looked towards Lucius with a small smile and nodded, she was not actually meant to show but for Lucius, she would.

They finally made it towards the Academy and immediately everyone stopped talking, looking towards their Boy Mascot and Milky Girl Magical Girl, Serafall. Everyone was whispering in small little groups, but Lucius could make out his brother's friends voices. Lucius shared an awkward smile with Serafall who remained unbothered by the whispers and rumors that were already going on around them, this just made Lucius admire her more than before. He realized that Serafall lets go of his hand, looking back towards the Magical Girl with wide eyes.

Serafall ran towards him and enveloping him in a hug, due to his short height, he was hugged into her chest. Lucius did not know what to do in this situation, he wrapped his arms around her waist also, but weirdly he noticed that Serafall tensed when he wrapped his arms around her waist and frowned. Had he done something wrong? Serafall soon released him from her breasts, Lucius was sure that he heard the males promise death towards him, but this time, he paid them no attention and looked straight towards Serafall. She was smiling back at him,

"See you at the Magical Con!"

Lucius walked away, not being able to stop the small tinge of pink that grew on his face, he wondered if this was a date, but that was silly, why would she want to go on a date with him? Lucius was about to continue walking into the Academy, but stopped when he heard Serafall once again,

"See you at the Magical Con Lucius!"

Lucius smiled at the small nickname, but he frowned, he never told her his name, so how would she know? He quickly turned around, hoping to catch any trace of the Magical Girl. He was disappointed when it was like she simply went with the wind and was no longer at the gates, Lucius frowned, but continued to walk into the Academy.

Godspeed could not help but continue chuckling, they were an odd sort of people. He could feel a certain degree of power under the boy and then there was the so-called magical girl, she was truly powerful, a threat in every sense and meaning of the word. He did not know what he could have done in a fight between them, he would have to avoid and hopefully not get into any confrontations. Still, he had his skill and had enough to head back to the world where he came, for now, he would focus on the potential...
