Kiran had a dream.
When she was summoned to Askr, she abandoned that dream, along with her name.
Lunala. The legendary Pokémon’s name would surely make her seem more fabulous.
Things were going well, until she summoned a blue-haired lordling who unfortunately knew her past life.
“…Kiran? Kiran Miyamoto?!”
“Shh! Not so loud, Itsuki! Yes! It’s me! I’m the legendary summoner of Askr now! Please, for the love of everything, call me Lunala here!”
“Th-The Pokémon?”
“Yes. The Pokémon. Shut up and give me a hug!”
After an embrace, Lunala and Itsuki had their first conversation in god knows how long.
“Y’know, I was never happy just being the heir to a family. I always wanted to be a star. I guess I am one, just not in the way I was expecting!”
“Oh, that reminds me, while you were gone, I actually signed on with Fortuna Entertainment.”
“…The company Kiria works at?”
“The company Kiria works at. She’s also a mirage master, like myself.”
“…ANYWAY GOTTA GO GONNA SUMMON KIRIA-”
“W-Wait!”
After around 300 orbs, five out of the seven Mirage Masters of Fortuna were in Askr.
Perfect.
More conversations ensued, and soon Lunala’s Breidabilk glowed with light.
The power to fight.
They should never have given her a gun.
“What should I be… I need to be cool! Maybe wings, armor, I’ve gotta be a star! …That’s it! I’ll be Tsubasa!”
Tsubasa’s AAAAAAAAAAAAAs rang in the distance as Itsuki looked at her, narrowing his eyes.
“Okay, okay, fine.”
“That’s not why I’m staring.”
“What?”
“Sing.”
“Eh?”
“You heard me. Sing.”
“When did you become the boss?”
“Since I began leading Fortuna Entertainment.”
“Leading?! I thought you just signed on!”
“Didn’t I tell you? Eh, whatever. Sing.”
“You’re Kiria’s boss!”
“SING.”
“Okay, okay! Just gimme a sec! Ahem!”
I’m miss sugar-pink, liquor liquor lips
Hit me with your sweet love, steal me with a kiss
I’m miss sugar-pink, liquor liquor lips
I’m gonna be your bubblegum bitch,
I’m gonna be your bubblegum bitch!
“Perfect. You’re hired.”
“What?”
“As Fortuna Entertainment’s latest idol, of course.”
“What the fuc-”
“Come on, let’s go see Touma, Yashiro, Mom, and Ann. I’m sure combined with Ellie they’ll be able to make you a star.”
“Itsuki I know I always said I wanted to be an idol but holy shit this is so sudden-”
“Are you saying no?”
“N-No! No, of course not! I mean, I’m saying yes! I’m saying yes to being an idol!!”
“Okay then, let’s go.”
Itsuki then raised his voice.
“Kiria, Mamori, Tsubasa, Ellie! We’re heading back for a bit. We’re making our lovely summoner here a star!”
Ellie bolted through the hallway, breathing heavily.
“Let’s make her beautiful! Okay?”
“Okay!” Lunala replied, smiling wildly.
~
Once they walked through the gate back to the world of Steel, Touma and Yashiro practically bolted up to greet them.
“Hey! We missed you. A lot. Please don’t leave us for so long.” Touma yelled, a huge smile on his face.
“Pssh. I didn’t miss you guys. Not at all.” Yashiro added.
Ellie looked up at Yashiro.
“Then why are you blushing?”
“aM NOT-”
“Are too!”
“Am not!”
“Stop being a tsundere and admit it!”
“Never!”
Itsuki let out a sharp whistle that brought everyone to attention.
“Quiet! Now, I’ve officially hired the Summoner as an idol as she’s always wanted to be one. So, Actor Trio, Ann, Momko? Go wild.”
Touma, Yashiro, and Ellie’s eyes began to sparkle wildly as they dragged the summoner away into the waiting arms of Ann, Maiko, and Ren- wait a second.
“Ren, what the hell are you doing here?”
“I heard we were doing makeovers.”
“How the hell-”
Ann raised her hand and it all made sense. She called him.
“Screw it. I changed my mind, don’t go too wild on her.
~
The summoner came out of that session with eight outfits.
Askr, Embla, Nifl, Múspell, Hel, Ljósálfheimr, Dökkálfheimr, Nizevallir.
(Ellie tried a Jotun style, but the summoner just couldn’t pull it off.)
Accented dresses… gorgeous suits… wings to die for. The summoner had em all.
From the snow-white of Nifl to the dark blacks of Hel, she wears it all.
Now she just needs one more thing. A song.
And what better than the fire emblem theme?
Fire Emblem, your spirit shall shine-
“What are you doing? You’re with Fortuna now!” Kiria said, snapping the summoner out of her reverie.
“Huh?”
Everyone looked to Itsuki to start them off, and he did.
Ah, can you hear the song? Echoing across the world as it calls to heroes
Tsubasa picked it up.
Vowing for eternity to bless your path, banish your woes.
Touma continued on from there.
Though the wheel of fate may turn, good and evil, black and white.
And then Kiria, as Tsubasa backed her up.
Seize your destiny and look ahead! (Time to awaken…)
Normally Itsuki continued on from there, but everyone looked at the summoner.
She smiled brightly and took his place.
And raise your face to the light!
Everyone joined in at that, even Ren and Ann, who weren’t even Fire Emblem characters.
Fire Emblem, for the sake of the world you love.
Transcending time, champions will forever rise
Fire Emblem, (I vow)
For the sake of the ones you love (For all eternity)
You need no purpose but the bonds before your eyes!
Now we shall arise…
The song ended there on a happy note.
“And voila! All that’s left is a concert! In Askr, of course!” Ellie said, smirking.
“Yeah! You can do it, Luna-nee!” Mamori yelled, clapping her hands together.
Lunala smiled at that.
“I’m dying here. She’s too cute.”
Everyone agreed to that.
~
Just any song wouldn’t do. Only the best.
Kiria and Tsubasa were brushing Lunala’s hair out for the concert in a few hours.
And so, of course, she picked a villain song.
It’s fine for you, it’s fine to flirt, it’s fineeeeeee till someone gets hurt. Till someone gets huuuuuurt.
“You sure you want to go with Someone Gets Hurt?” Tsubasa questioned.
“Eh, it could be worse. She could have gone with The Smartphone Hour.” Kiria chimed in with a smile.
“Rich set a fire and he-”
“No. Tsubasa. No.”
“…burned down the house. Whooooooah. Rich set a fire and he burned down the house-”
“NO. NOT RIGHT NOW.”
“Later then?”
“Later then.”
The spotlight was up. Kiran went with the Dökkálfheimr dress for now. Best option for a villain song, right?
The performance was over before she could think. She could only sing.
It was almost over too fast. She didn’t have time to process it!
“Encore!” Someone shouted from the audience. Yashiro, maybe? No, it couldn’t be.
Another voice shouted for an encore. And another. And another!
They all wanted another song, but she didn’t have one prepared!
…There’s only one thing to do in this situation.
I’m breaking down! All the walls that I’ve built around my lonely heart now,
You’re the one that takes it all away, my solitude, and all my pain!
Someone in the audience began chanting the background vocals.
(Reincarnation)
(Realization)
(Reincarnation)
I wish I could disappear!
I walk alone through the city of lights, I see the same fake smiles every night
Cause everybody hides…
They run and hide from their real feelings
And everyone’s got their stresses too, yeah I know
But I already get that’s the status quo!
I’m breaking down!
All the masks that I wear to hide
My lonely heart now
But what if I’m just lying to myself?
If even now, you still want me when I am hurt,
Wandering lost in the rain,
Then at least help me destroy it all, my solitude, and all my pain!
(Reincarnation)
(Realization)
(Reincarnation)
I wish I could be reborn…
That was more like it. The spotlight pounding down, the crowd cheering in a frenzy…
Is this it? Is this being an idol?!
Someone screamed up “YES! YOU’RE SPEAKING OUT LOUD!”
Oh no. But anyway, it worked! The summoner had her debut as a real idol!
God, this is exhausting.
The moment she got backstage, she threw her robe back on, and smiled at Itsuki.
“I think this was a good experience! But I’m fuckin tired. I think I’ll stick to summoning and leave the singing to you guys!”
Everyone softly laughed at that.
“We’ll gladly take on the burden!”
Touma smiled, and chimed in with a “Maybe you’d like acting better!”
“Well, we could always try it!” The summoner replied with a smile. “But later. I’m sleepy.”
Kiria laughed.
“Get a good night’s sleep! See ya in the morning, DJ Sum-sum!”
“…That’s it! That’s my calling! I’ll be a DJ!”
“Throw me a remix of Reincarnation and then we’ll see!”
“I’ve gotcha there, Kiria!”
And the Summoner crashed into bed the moment she entered her chambers.
