Dimensional Coffee Party

So, I was having a nice chat with Half-beastdragonsoul2013, talking about ideas for fics and stuff like that when we asked ourselves: what if we do a crossover one-shot of our two summoners?

So we started writing this together and, here it is!

If you wonder about the next chapter of May The Future Be Bright, don't worry I'm already working on it. If I don't suffer situations that could cause some delays I should be finishing it by the next Saturday (those days are nice for fighting after all lol)

Anyway, another detail: The Kiran/Luis from May The Future Be Bright is Kiran C-137DMC-12T-800... in this case, although the character is pretty much the same, this Kiran/Luis is A-254KM-24T-1000.

I mean, the idea of showing parallel versions of my protagonist has been crossing my mind since the moment he says: every single day of my life is a battle against my parallel selves to determine who survives to be here tomorrow.

There are some spoilers of May The Future Be Bright and The Near-Sighted Summoner of Askr, you have been warned... so go and read both if you need it lol

Anyway, enjoy:

Luis swallowed hard as he looked at what was in front of him. Although Breidablik was defined as a weapon, he certainly didn't quite understand why. At best he would define it as a tool since it was not intrinsically designed to kill. Sure, the heroes this thing could summon were capable of killing, but the only way he could imagine to terminate someone with Breidablik itself would be hitting them on the head multiple times with the cannon part. However, whether it was a weapon or not, its function was indisputably very important for the future of the world... which is why he protected it at all times as if it were made of glass.

Having only one Breidablik made him feel very very nervous. If it was stolen or damaged... many heroes could be stuck in Askr forever.

With these concerns in mind... Luis had decided to visit the only person he assumed might know anything about his summoning pistol. The dragon Askr. Although Askr had understood his fears, the dragon told him that to prove himself truly worthy of a holy relic, it was his duty to learn how all of its mechanisms worked.

In other words, if Luis wanted to have a spare Breidablik, he had to build it himself...

At least Askr had agreed to make a backup copy of the data stored inside the weapon regarding each summoned hero and their respective origin timeline in case the main data got damaged and gave Luis some pieces that would be needed to build the replica. Also, if he damaged the original weapon during his attempts to reverse engineer it, Askr would repair it so that he could try again.

To say Luis was scared the first time he started to open Breidablik to see the internal components was an understatement. It was especially terrifying given that, although arguably Luis could be considered as a scientist, he was not exactly an engineer.

Luis had suspected from the beginning that Breidablik was a Magitek tool and what he found inside was more or less what he imagined... wires that seemed to be used to channel the energy contained inside the orbs... cylinders... and some things that appeared to some kind of chips the which he immediately began to compare with those he had received from Askr.

It had been ten long months of meticulous analysis, but, in front of his eyes, he had what, in theory, should be a second Breidablik. But of course, now it was the experimenting part. Luis inserted an orb into the weapon and pointed it in the direction of a wall.
