Welcome, to my first fan fic. After years, I finally gave in and tried a few.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAk4jEiuyF2B
Mostly crossovers.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAAfGDATFW5O
Most were horrible and some were great. Sadly, many were abandoned. They had some interesting concepts and characters. I don’t want them to disappear forever.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAa7PKaT6n4k
The ones I think I could write for and the ones I desire to write involve Familiar of Zero. In this crossover extravaganza, I’m crossing multiple FoZ fan fics into one story.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAVjGMQJbhU1
They will be listed at the end of this one-shot.
293Please respect copyright.PENANA2K8gWuEcBi
Be sure to comment on any possible improvements and if anyone is OOC. If your character is featured on here and you don’t like it, comment so I can remove/improve them.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAu5Xkk6bqXv
This is version 1 after all. If I can perfect the foundation and people like it, then I can continue.
293Please respect copyright.PENANApNHV7OmZ6t
I’ll try to keep faithful to the original fan fic but some things need to change. I’m crossing some tricky-to-fit stories and characters.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAmNNdEIRG9m
Finally, I own nothing in this story. They belong to their respective owners. That being said, I will straight up rip off lines from everything. Makes things easier and more authentic.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAA63n5Qeps8
With that out of the way, let’s dive into this slice of eternity in a moment.
293Please respect copyright.PENANApg6OoIBuTS
293Please respect copyright.PENANAwPKDArhlUy
It was that time of the year again, Springtime Summoning Festival. The time when the second years of Tristain Magical Academy finally summon their own servant, a familiar. Most of the students were nothing short of excited! That’s because today they will finally have a loyal servant that would cater to their every whim. They would perform for them to the best of their ability.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAyeLSLQzN77
Aside from that though, they were also anxious. Anxious about what kind of familiar they would get.
293Please respect copyright.PENANA6tlKf95eAt
A summoned familiar mirrors their master’s personality and elemental affinity. Who knows what hidden secrets their familiars may accidentally reveal to everyone?
293Please respect copyright.PENANAfYv1QFl1TX
Despite that though, their anxiety was overtaken by excitement. One by one, every student summoned their enteral companion. Some got impressive summons such as a salamander and even an azure dragon.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAiAIu5tWxHm
Yes, all of them have tried and succeeded in summoning a familiar.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAvLxYeJT4fa
Well, all but one.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAQgvlsvcZfJ
The small petite girl with strawberry pink hair, Louise Valliere. Secretly, she was desperately hoping to be actually forgotten for once. For she is not like everyone else.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAN5PWhrWdLr
She is Louise the Zero, the only one incapable of using magic. But after today, she will be known by a different name. Which name, will depend on her choices in the coming days.
293Please respect copyright.PENANALB2AyYRCkO
But before fate has its way, a balding middle-aged gentleman put a crack in her hopes of being forgotten. His name is Jean Colbert, the professor presiding over this future historic event.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAdN7oI7xEww
Colbert: “All right then, has everyone had their turn?”
293Please respect copyright.PENANAk7QH5jKMU0
But the one to fully shatter her hopes was her bully and rival, Kirche von Zerbst. The busty chocolate beauty.
293Please respect copyright.PENANA8ToAqID2av
Kirche: “No, not quite. Ms. Valliere hasn’t done it.”
293Please respect copyright.PENANAyNonqpULbv
Louise: ‘Brimir, darn you Kirche.’
293Please respect copyright.PENANAj5jQ81gYQ6
Louise, in her hiding spot behind the student body, grumbled about her rotten luck. To be called out by her of all people. But it doesn’t matter, she has to do this. If she succeeds, it will prove once and for all that she is a mage.
293Please respect copyright.PENANALnTLlw6qoy
Maybe then, she’ll be respected and can finally deliver some good news to her family.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAlR1gcS50Tv
She goes to the summoning area and prepares to-
293Please respect copyright.PENANAFy16GARBO5
“Louise the zero.”
293Please respect copyright.PENANAO5UUe6YVFV
“What do you suppose she’ll summon”
293Please respect copyright.PENANAv5HQcuZa9u
“There’s no way she can summon anything. We’ll just have another explosion and nothing else.”
293Please respect copyright.PENANAHC1tZCeHDJ
Kirche: “With all your boasting, you should be able to summon up something more amazing than this. Right, Louise?”
293Please respect copyright.PENANAaXHGgtOE5H
She says while petting her red-scaled salamander with a flaming tail. The background insults and chatter she can stand, but she won’t stay silent when it comes to Kirche.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAwLIO62i5UB
Louise: “Well of course!”
293Please respect copyright.PENANA2NvU5Tekfy
She says that, but it’s all hot air if she fails. This is it, her last chance to prove herself. She grips her wand tight and prays for this to work.
293Please respect copyright.PENANA8OUUknIQoL
She didn’t know it then but, someone was listening to her prayers.
293Please respect copyright.PENANA7v00Vo3SJp
Louise: “My servant that exists somewhere in this vast universe! My divine, beautiful, wise, and powerful servant, heed my call! I wish for this servant from the very bottom of my heart! Answer my guidance and APPEAR!”
293Please respect copyright.PENANAWUXPNC35VY
“And so the die is cast.”
293Please respect copyright.PENANAiaGUdVjq1z
Louise ignores the sultry feminine voice in her head and raises her wand. She twirls it before striking down with the power of all her hopes and dreams.
293Please respect copyright.PENANA0aTiOjt8TO
…
…
293Please respect copyright.PENANA9Za3FJHKPJ
Silence, that’s all there was. For that briefest of eternities, all was still. But the new reality birthed here demanded expansion. In the next instant, a large explosion rippled through the grass courtyard.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAZR78H2vHEj
Unlike all of the previous ones, this was bigger and nearly forced everyone onto their knees. But the storm did pass and all that was left was a cloud of smoke.
293Please respect copyright.PENANALAGxY835dI
The students quickly collected themselves and began their favorite pass time.
293Please respect copyright.PENANA1lLjujjG3q
“Hah, I knew it! Once a Zero always a Zero.”
293Please respect copyright.PENANAXaUDkAUhHY
Many, but not all, are of the same opinion. They started to laugh at the clear failure of their resident Zero. That was until every familiar in the area started to shiver and shake.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAUumh6kuojr
The one most scared was Slyphid, the medium-sized blue dragon summoned by the petite blue-haired Tabitha.
293Please respect copyright.PENANA4o5hnZE62z
Tabitha: “What?”
293Please respect copyright.PENANALGxNilUtoP
Her question brought Slyphid’s head around to look her in the eyes. With their intimate bond, Slyphid was able to respond telepathically.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAXvaXtvATgG
Slyphid: ‘I smell her! I’m Frightened! But…there’s…more than just her…a…Predator.’
293Please respect copyright.PENANAZebcvE8gXD
The panicked voice in her head startled Tabitha. For a rhyme dragon of all things to be frightened…
293Please respect copyright.PENANAksRx6XrupG
Tabitha: “What do you…mean?”
293Please respect copyright.PENANARFHu2cokTH
As for Louise, she couldn’t hear their insults, something was…wrong. Something was missing from her, she felt incomplete. Whatever happened, it’s related to the shadows within the smoke.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAu8piWP5hYk
Louise: ‘Wait!? Shadows?’
293Please respect copyright.PENANALhe8CpZ2ep
First, it was a low growl of something, bigger than they ever thought possible. Then came the heavy tension in the air, reality itself seemed to shiver from the amount of power gathered in one spot.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAalZxpkBO8N
When the smoke cleared, something completely unexpected awaited everyone. Not only did Louise summon a human but she summoned multiple familiars.
293Please respect copyright.PENANA2m4a7LfxPq
One was a voluptuous woman with long silver hair tied up at the end. She also sports an impressive wardrobe fit for a noble. Her most striking feature was her sapphire eyes that are looking at her fellow familiars with mixed emotions.
293Please respect copyright.PENANA7B4kcMkFgQ
The next one had an even more sensual body but with red lace lingerie and red long straight hair. She seems to be sleeping on the grass peacefully despite all the chaos.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAhvTenidcR3
Finally, the most distressing was an unconscious injured boy. He had a dark green shirt with black jeans, black pull-on shoes, and black fingerless gloves. He had the strangest set of dark green glasses they ever seen. A band stretched from one side to the other securing them to his head firmly. The tinted black lenses didn’t let anyone see his eyes.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAwz30BMUzZn
He also had some strange black earmuffs with steel rods and a black bag with straps holding it to his back. His skin was fine olive and his hair was silver, like the first one.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAZaNrpzguGq
They would’ve mocked Louise for summoning a commoner, a whore, and a strange near-death child. But the one that caught everyone’s attention was, of course, the dragon.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAR0j4bwfbZV
Unlike the other dragons, this one more resembled a wyvern. Its front limbs were wings instead of proper legs. Despite that, its power couldn’t be understated. The silver-haired woman kept a close eye on the dragon as if her slender body could do something if it acted.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAEM7gPEiHjD
Considering the madness of the situation, it’s forgivable that they didn’t notice a black snake slithering away from the danger zone. Nor did they notice the puddle of writhing worms on the ground eager for something to come close.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAonBVbWlY6i
For a while, no one said a word. Tensions were high and death was a given if something went wrong. Colbert gripped his staff until he bled and students backed away slowly.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAPXXCoA3k5j
As for Louise, she just couldn’t look away. Especially after what happened next.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAATt9vzBCE4
“Kolo Zu’u, druv los tinvaak dovahzul?”
293Please respect copyright.PENANAwAUmrIsVYW
…
…293Please respect copyright.PENANAGd24An7DXA
293Please respect copyright.PENANAquG8u7LXmI
Kirche: “Did that dragon just…speak?”
293Please respect copyright.PENANAuWo2jJAzgz
The silver-haired one held up a hand as if to say “hold on a minute.” She pulled a ring out of her pocket and started speaking to the dragon in the same strange language.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAzpamWEhz59
After a few moments of conversation and looking around, they stopped and looked at Louise.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAMW0IvvBsGq
“Okay, who summoned us?”
293Please respect copyright.PENANAj9odJgSYLz
All eyes went to the stunned Louise. Clearly, she has to take responsibility for…whatever this is. Any excitement she might have had for summoning a dragon went out the window along with sanity.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAQT30uPRgrL
Louise: “I-I did. My name is Louise Francoise Le Blanc de La Valliere.”293Please respect copyright.PENANAozBEaycfqI
293Please respect copyright.PENANAdHSxnutOTX
“Well hi Louise, my name is Raskreia or Rask for short. This dragon is named Dovahkiin, strange name I know.”
293Please respect copyright.PENANABy7DAAhuoi
Tensions lower and everyone starts to process what Louise the Zero somehow accomplished. She summoned a dragon and more. Commoners sure but still multiple familiars.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAS3ELby0g9u
293Please respect copyright.PENANAT6lZIv94NU
Raskreia: “Now, I have questions but first I think we should help the kid.”
293Please respect copyright.PENANA2fB2EO3Z1z
293Please respect copyright.PENANAEObUNVhBNx
Colbert finally escaped his shock and agreed. He asks some students to carry the boy to the infirmary.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAgk96f5xfjW
As they do, he takes a better look at his injuries. He has light pieces of steel-plated armor torn and twisted around his body. As well as blotches of blood on his hair and clothes. If it wasn’t for the slight breathing, he would think he’s dead.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAWRzbbg3pSU
Colbert: ‘Who knows what could’ve happened if we delayed any further.’
293Please respect copyright.PENANAEEvRgm6800
“Ugh, what, is with the racket.”
293Please respect copyright.PENANAaq5GokWKBM
A deadpan female voice echoed out. The red-haired commoner slowly sits up and scans the area with her squinted scarlet eyes. She then looks down at her lingerie-clad body, then at the ground, before turning to glare at everyone.
293Please respect copyright.PENANA76G8JRcQOG
“I slept in an inn in my underwear, and I wake up in a summoning circle in them. Ugh, what even?”
293Please respect copyright.PENANAFqQnbsW20w
Raskreia: “Well, looks who’s awake.”
293Please respect copyright.PENANATcOCaSZZkF
She sighs.293Please respect copyright.PENANATrmw66UsYo
293Please respect copyright.PENANAbczF0NAFuG
“And I am surrounded by children and a strange dragon.”
293Please respect copyright.PENANA8dXCByXM1s
Colbert: “Since everyone is awake, not including the injured, we should proceed with the bonding ritual.”293Please respect copyright.PENANAUSTdgBhVv1
293Please respect copyright.PENANAZtbpGoJgM6
Raskreia: “Sure, if you’re going to explain to us what in the nine hells is going on here exactly and where we are?”293Please respect copyright.PENANAx7JFH1R9Op
293Please respect copyright.PENANAPbnDfdeBVg
At this, Louise answers before the man could.293Please respect copyright.PENANAkfeNUm1rmX
293Please respect copyright.PENANAtCUov1Lhwi
Louise: “You’re here because I summoned you all to be my familiar with the summon servant spell, and I am your master now.”
293Please respect copyright.PENANAJfogR9ChMJ
Rask rolls her eyes while the other 2 had more animated responses.293Please respect copyright.PENANAkWBNgk6sdJ
293Please respect copyright.PENANAn7YqRUsRvB
“Whoa, back the fuck up. Why should I be your familiar?”293Please respect copyright.PENANAJaRE4BnD9l
293Please respect copyright.PENANA6RvVEzRobZ
Dovahkiin: “What do you mean by bonding?”293Please respect copyright.PENANAFqeabMpkzS
293Please respect copyright.PENANAPAF9ScwkdO
Everyone except Rask blinked. That was in Tristainian.293Please respect copyright.PENANAbQfQ6QHoeR
293Please respect copyright.PENANAzeaHCLdth8
Dovahkiin: “Oh, so now my voice returns.”
293Please respect copyright.PENANAYWZXq5B7Jw
Colbert: “You can speak our language?”
293Please respect copyright.PENANAm97EwELx37
Dovahkiin: “I can speak this language, but before I was…confused and spoke in native Dovahzul.”
293Please respect copyright.PENANAVNMt3rT039
Raskreia: “Really? I guess I don’t need this anymore then.”
293Please respect copyright.PENANAUFHdVsWMSy
Rask puts the ring back in her bag.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAA1Hl8vopGH
Colbert: “Dovahzul, I haven’t heard of that language.”
293Please respect copyright.PENANAWkgQdJlxHq
“Neither have I, strange.”
293Please respect copyright.PENANAIp6roRrZN6
Dovahkiin: “Enough of this, what do you mean by bonding?”
293Please respect copyright.PENANAF1nmxXrCOl
Despite the group before her, Louise bravely stepped forward again.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAGrYeO7irs8
Louise: “The bonding ritual is a sacred ritual performed here at Tristian’s Academy of Magic. It’s where the mage who summoned a new familiar casts a spell to bind the two of them together. The animal, or in this animals, summoned becomes the mage’s servant. Because I summoned you all I get to bind you all to me.”
293Please respect copyright.PENANASzy4DJY1Ro
The reactions from all summoned present varied but none good.293Please respect copyright.PENANA1aMf9YF47A
293Please respect copyright.PENANALxxgDGuacY
Raskreia: “I’m fine with getting summoned but getting branded like some animal, no thanks.”293Please respect copyright.PENANA3Bv6qX45Ut
293Please respect copyright.PENANAnTq0Ya3MFX
Louise’s mood quickly deteriorates but there’s still hope she thought. She summoned more than one, surely one would agree.
293Please respect copyright.PENANA78cqJD2m8W
But that thought quickly faded away when the dragon growled. It drew itself up by stretching its wings down and glared at Louise.
293Please respect copyright.PENANABGGRsmPeX3
Dovahkiin: “So you kidnap us from our homes and that gives you the right to make us your slave? We get no say in whether we get bound to you all. Is that right?”
293Please respect copyright.PENANAIBu2UgTahG
Raskreia: ‘Oh no, they made the dragon mad. That’s never a good idea. No matter the plane.’
293Please respect copyright.PENANADCLqGXcucA
Colbert stepped in as Louise faltered and took several steps back.
293Please respect copyright.PENANADPJFkkRuxT
Colbert: “It’s how the holy ritual has been performed for hundreds of years.”
293Please respect copyright.PENANAZTVwELSvv6
Colbert: “We never summoned anything intelligent before or this many at the same time. There are no records of such an event happening in all of our lore. Because of that, we have no way to send you back.”
293Please respect copyright.PENANAN9QgIRxCDB
The dragon awkwardly walked around them. As if she had been sitting around for a long time and her legs had fallen asleep. They didn’t seem to notice the puddle of worms shaking violently at knowing it can’t go home.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAIVo4oCaSFO
Dovahkiin: “I for one refuse to become anyone’s slave. I simply want to return to the life I lived before this all occurred.”
293Please respect copyright.PENANAvOEIXyn5lL
Raskreia: “As for me, I don’t want to get branded. But I’ll still stick around for a while. It’s not like I have anything better to do anyway.”
293Please respect copyright.PENANAkPfpmTsxDe
Raskreia: ‘Besides, I can leave anytime I want. Might as well have fun in this new world. And if Dovahkiin is staying, I’ll stay. Her strange view of the world is interesting.’293Please respect copyright.PENANAABtFlvJLcZ
293Please respect copyright.PENANA1szMIfLOgG
Louise felt a flash of terror. The one she wanted the most is dead set on not becoming her familiar. Snickers and chatter softly erupt from the student body.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAzl5D4wgMwJ
She grips her wand tightly, wishing this was all a dream. Unbeknownst to her, there was one that considered her offer.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAgfzqzeJ8QS
The redhead smelt the anger, disappointment, agony even, reeking from the shrinking form of her summoner. She knows that Louise is suffering from the mockery and rejection.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAgTlEdLE3co
She can sense the power within Louise is like a dying star ready to blast into a supernova. But her control over it is minuscule and pathetic.
293Please respect copyright.PENANA22c0XzK5hI
Yet the students all around mock her for it. But what if someone knew of her potential? The world would definitely abuse and use her for it.293Please respect copyright.PENANACu4uOVfD7o
293Please respect copyright.PENANAeOON8l7S6S
She knew intimately what happens in situations like that. Despite her previous obligations, the redhead made her choice.293Please respect copyright.PENANAVY8LApx8sL
293Please respect copyright.PENANA7ZXYtNzbho
“If a familiar is what you seek, then you shall have one. I agree to be yours.”
293Please respect copyright.PENANA7LLDnroKHg
Almost everyone blinked in surprise and incredulity at the whore’s pledge to the zero. Even Louise was stunned by it, if not a bit disappointed. Many students scoffed and snickered but the most surprising response was from the dragon.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAT5XQRkK4p4
Dovahkiin: “You!? You would subject yourself as a slave to a child? Where is your pride as a Dovah?”
293Please respect copyright.PENANAaKShfIZdnQ
“Dovah? I see, that's your word for it. So you can tell?”
293Please respect copyright.PENANAuyzsaviBtv
Dovahkiin: *Nod*
293Please respect copyright.PENANAiOugVZcmCy
“I have my own reasons.”
293Please respect copyright.PENANAuAcOWpnzqz
The dragon blew out a hot gust of wind before leaving the subject alone. It’s not her place to force her out of her decision.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAEdYcE0w2m0
Everyone else however looked at the exchange with immense curiosity. Isn’t that redhead just some commoner whore? What did the dragon see that they failed to?
293Please respect copyright.PENANATPtsc8GUVU
Raskreia: “Well I won’t judge you. It’s your choice.”
293Please respect copyright.PENANAXPtIfhMuNf
Louise reapplies her rule of steel mask and starts towards the redhead. She let out an indignant, resigned huff as she raised her wand.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAXoHFJYhNRi
Louise: “Consider yourself fortunate, commoner. Normally, you’d never in your life have a noble do this to you.”
293Please respect copyright.PENANApTWdiEMjoi
Louise: “My name is Louise Francoise Le Blanc de La Valliere. Oh, pentagon that rules the five elements, bless this individual and-”
293Please respect copyright.PENANAROIKiIg52I
293Please respect copyright.PENANAmjW8Jfsncy
‘Did you think this was it?’
293Please respect copyright.PENANAixRDqlH2SD
Louise tried to ignore that strange feminine voice but this time…she couldn’t. She let go of her wand and grasped at her chest. As if something beyond this world is trying to reunite with her.
293Please respect copyright.PENANA8zibq19IYk
“Louise!?”
293Please respect copyright.PENANAhH1eUXy4Vx
Everyone, including the dragon, looks at Louise with concern. Before anyone could go to her and see what’s wrong, something else extraordinary happens.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAsko98QlT04
Another explosion erupted behind the redhead but this time it was blue. Everyone braced for the impact in their own way. After a few moments, all that was left was another smoke cloud. But this was different, more ominous. Even the puddle of worms began to move away from the blast zone. It needs to quickly consume something if it wanted to survive what it felt.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAwrcNozVmtM
Whatever was in the smoke caused all fighters to instinctively tense up. Good thing too, something metallic flew out of the blue smoke cloud. Colbert dodged the flying object and it landed just in front of the student body.
293Please respect copyright.PENANABQGJ5rvl23
Dovahkiin started to growl and glare at the object. The redhead pushed Louise to the ground to protect her from whatever that was. Rask also looked surprised and glared at the obviously dangerous object.
293Please respect copyright.PENANADdeiH70l70
Raskeria: “The hell was that?”
293Please respect copyright.PENANAXahDau0zy5
Curiosity overcame the class as the ones nearest to the metallic object had a look. It turns out it wasn’t an object but a golem. It had the physique of a knight. It was large and tall, its entire body was black along with some intricate lines that stretched all across its body.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAthzyCsmWhn
Colbert: “A golem?”
293Please respect copyright.PENANAgsQcXkbeAy
Dovahkiin: “No, something more.”
293Please respect copyright.PENANA8NHiJf8eo2
The lines on the golem glowed red and slowly traced itself all the up to its head. A deep humming sound came from the golem. Before anyone could react, the golem lifted up the nearest student by the throat. That student is Guiche, the blond playboy.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAfP6zNp6P0q
Guiche: “Unhand me this instant!”
293Please respect copyright.PENANAMUjxhsAHer
It didn’t respond instead it brought its other arm up and balled it into a fist.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAXhPtUBhN37
Guiche: “You would dare hit a noble!? I tell you, my father is a gener-”
293Please respect copyright.PENANAPIBABPTbGX
The golem’s fist suddenly split apart and what came out froze his blood. Some sort of blade emerged that had a deep ‘vroom’ sound. Countless smaller blades circulated around the perimeter of the blade.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAfOoHW60B6k
Colbert: “Mister Grammont!”
293Please respect copyright.PENANAEFHFVAnluv
All fighters attempted to save the boy but something else exploded out of the smoke. In an instant, the golem’s hand was severed and Guiche fell to the ground saved.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAAx3715i03f
But more than that, the golem had a bright orange diagonal line stretching from its right shoulder all the way down to its hip. The top part of the golem fell on the ground with a heavy thud, frightening all the kids.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAlIuZXGW0pm
The stranger that saved Guiche had to be the strangest thing to happen. Her entire skin was a steel grey. She wore a white shirt that seemed to fit just right for her stature and pants that were the color of khaki. She also had those same lines as the golem. Unlike the golem though, the savior had curves and most importantly, hair. Pink hair.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAvtQh9x72lK
Guiche: “L-Louise?”293Please respect copyright.PENANAVoKdhb1fEz
293Please respect copyright.PENANAy4s0yZerxF
Colbert: “But how?”
293Please respect copyright.PENANAr3hc52jiWW
Everyone looked at the Louise we know being cradled by the redhead. She was still clutching her chest while staring at her doppelganger wide-eyed.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAJpZEk9uFPG
Raskeria: “Can this day get any crazier?”
293Please respect copyright.PENANAkE8aHGrasY
Murmurs erupted from the crowd but they stopped when the doppelgangerlifted Guiche by his uniform with ease. Once he found his footing he gave a muffled scoff. He was about to give a cheeky reply about how saving him doesn’t mean he’ll stop teasing when suddenly she pushed him.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAbsVloEBo0H
Guiche: “How dare-”
293Please respect copyright.PENANAzF95ebAZzP
He looked back up and to his shock, there was another black golem. This time Louise was standing between him and his death. She crossed her arms forming an X to block but it was unnecessary.
293Please respect copyright.PENANA7Ls59wV4wJ
Finally, tired of being background characters, Rask and Dova acted. Dova bit down on the golem. It expected to rip it apart but to its surprise, the golem’s skin didn’t budge much.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAS3NmmcQRI1
Regardless, Dova took the golem and threw it across the field away from the students.
293Please respect copyright.PENANA9WSNQ3o10m
While this was happening, the redhead took Louise to a safe distance. She could help but she wanted to keep Louise safe for now.
293Please respect copyright.PENANACvfvV9upmw
Raskeria: “That has to be among the strongest golems I’ve ever seen.”
293Please respect copyright.PENANAYPUkYFvohH
Dovahkiin: “It’s like a Dwemer automation but more…advanced somehow.”
293Please respect copyright.PENANAOQ6YtRs5NJ
Louise?: “I don’t remember you two when I left. Who are you two?”

Raskeria: “Talk later, fight now!”
293Please respect copyright.PENANAy3pKSh8fMK
Dovahkiin: “YOL TOOR SHUL!”
293Please respect copyright.PENANA5jD2riYu6F
The dragon breathes intense heat at the golem while Raskeria casts a strange spell that also shoots bolts of fire.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAIVe2tckcaE
The students would’ve been shocked that the assumed commoner can use wandless magic if it wasn’t for the fact the golem wasn’t badly harmed.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAwbuNtKfpwV
Raskeria: “Okay, that thing is too dangerous. Disintegrate.”
293Please respect copyright.PENANA0j6mUwZkhX
A thin green ray flies out of her hands, fully intent on turning this thing to ash. But to her surprise, the thing quickly sidesteps the ray.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAlhSxnoabiQ
Regardless of the failure, the doppelganger saw this as an opening. The soles of her feet begin to hum loudly before a short explosion propelled her forward. When she was right next to the golem, she propelled her knee upwards sending the golem 300 feet into the sky.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAsrQtVxGDVi
Dovah followed it into the sky, awkwardly at first, planning to end it. The doppelganger meanwhile brought her right arm up and transformed it into a circular shield big enough to cover 2/3 of her body.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAfto0hFHIky
This proved to be the right choice when the sound of lightning cracked from the cloud of dust.
293Please respect copyright.PENANA0D0xrtv0M6
Raskeria immediately created anti-physical magic shields for herself and the students. If it wasn’t for her honed senses over years of adventures, she would’ve put up the wrong shield.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAJJGMNFjJws
Raskeria: “Another one!? To think, I was just hanging out with friends and now I have to fight for my life.”
293Please respect copyright.PENANAplouR9lnvw
Bullets rip the air and hammer the shields. Louise 2 didn’t stay in the same spot however. She pushed against the rain of metal waiting for the right moment.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAbOOA2V0z22
Eventually, the sound of clicking reached her ears. She disassembled her shield and placed her hands behind her with her palms open.
293Please respect copyright.PENANA6Y9Osas9eU
Louise 2: ‘Here’s my chanc-”
293Please respect copyright.PENANASTceyAZRD0
Before she could engage the golem, something dropped from the sky hard. The resulting crash pushed aside the rest of the dust. The golem was crushed and the one who did it was another young boy.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAieMXArr45Z
He had brown boots, dark green jeans, a black tank top and a grey jacket with red streaks. He had shoulder-length black hair that caressed his handsome face.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAqh8oQ44k10
Raskeria: “Did Louise summon another one? I can’t deny it, that’s impressive.”
293Please respect copyright.PENANA1x3teuZu9j
Louise 2: “Friend or foe?”
293Please respect copyright.PENANAfaEi2e9rVb
Jake: “Depends on what happens next. The name’s Jake Logan Anderson, Jake will do.”
293Please respect copyright.PENANAwHh9NUNwXz
Dovahkiin: “FUS RO DAH”
293Please respect copyright.PENANALy6rZbkLaL
Another explosion, bigger than all before erupted from the skies. Shortly after, the airborne golem crashed into the ground causing a deep crater to form. Dovah came down afterward with a few scratches.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAEAS83Gp6Ya
Dovahkiin: ‘I need to get used to this body and fast. I hope that was the last of them.’
293Please respect copyright.PENANAha9gxuSX4o
Louise 2 looked around the class hoping to find the person she was looking for. She saw Jean Colbert still shocked by the insanity before him.
293Please respect copyright.PENANATFUmwkkjmN
Louise 2: “Mr. Colbert!”
293Please respect copyright.PENANAEU35NbOMuY
This seemed to jog the man from his shock.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAZDQ1WZFaTt
Colbert: “Um yes, what do you need Ms….you are Valliere right?”
293Please respect copyright.PENANAn2OASh957g
Louise 2: “Yes. Evacuate everyone from this place right now.”
293Please respect copyright.PENANAmJKD5418JT
Raskeria: “Why? Isn’t it over?”
293Please respect copyright.PENANACWGjUOwmmc
Jake: “No, it’s never that easy.”
293Please respect copyright.PENANAaZCToJ6Kk9
Louise 2: “He’s right, this courtyard isn’t safe anymore.”
293Please respect copyright.PENANAYDfLsSyE1N
The doppelganger looked at the strangers she fought with.
293Please respect copyright.PENANABxX5zjGZ5W
Louise 2: “Can trust one of you to help Colbert protect everyone.”
293Please respect copyright.PENANA2cQnSQQcii
Before any of them could answer, the red-head answered.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAL1wFwRzVvD
“I’ll protect him along with…you I guess.”
293Please respect copyright.PENANAIucxxoacyD
She’s now carrying an unconscious Louise. The doppelganger would’ve spared a glance at her twin if it wasn’t for the impending danger.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAs74wj0sVxo
Louise 2: “And who are you?”
293Please respect copyright.PENANAVPYbmpgYQ9
“My name is Aeterna Flamma, your familiar.”
293Please respect copyright.PENANAAB42NLxHGC
Louise 2’s eyes widened slightly at that but quicker recomposed herself. She wanted to argue about letting her other half leave with Aeterna before the dragon spoke up.
293Please respect copyright.PENANANepCbZUVjR
Dovahkiin: “Trust her, she is stronger than she looks.”
293Please respect copyright.PENANADhATrm2iEN
Louise: 2: “…Fine. I won’t argue with a dragon. Especially not now.”
293Please respect copyright.PENANA7RiccFa6vo
Aeterna: “Good, come on everyone.”
293Please respect copyright.PENANARp1OYP8dT6
Colbert: “Y-You heard them, we can’t stay here any-”
293Please respect copyright.PENANA1OxmbNdMr3
Suddenly, the sound of something rattling made itself known throughout the courtyard. Louise 2 clicked her tongue.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAg82ppbAg3x
Louise 2: “Go, NOW!”
293Please respect copyright.PENANA3vzZcoFQQl
They followed her order, many out of fear of the sight before them. The 3 golems slowly but surely collapsed into strange black sand.
293Please respect copyright.PENANA5qbgk6wfuo
Jake: “What the fuck?! Are these truly machines?”
293Please respect copyright.PENANAIzJ82VNSBw
Raskeria: “I’m starting to question that too.”
293Please respect copyright.PENANAfGNTTBgkSQ
The sand began to move further away from the remaining fighters. When they were far enough it began to rise up and take a new form.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAcM25XxbM8J
First, the legs were almost as big as Tabitha’s dragon but it didn’t stop there. The body had a wider waist but still retained its linear form. This informed the group that this new golem is more focused on strength than agility.
293Please respect copyright.PENANA9OUj9aoGqn
The arms were next. The left was a massive blade and the right was a massive claw hand.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAEkrsJyVixj
Finally, the head was bulky enough to discourage any beheading. But the most important part was the lines connecting to the chest area.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAhiH4nOEOzm
Louise 2: ‘That’s its weak point.’
293Please respect copyright.PENANAGN7mNJBawR
Its eyes finally light up and lock onto the fighters.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAJVbPWila85
Louise 2: “Just my luck, a Ravager.”
293Please respect copyright.PENANAv4jiN3MtPG
Raskeria: “A what?”
293Please respect copyright.PENANA6GGA0bxHqC
The Ravager reeled back and gave a loud hum that was equal to a beast’s roar. Dovahkiin roared back in a show of will. The combined roar echoed throughout the area, past the academy, and into the distant forest.
293Please respect copyright.PENANADlaG56Df5L
Louse unleashed her arm-blades and did one last thing that surprised everyone. Large grey things protruded from her back which hummed while also giving a light pink glow. With that, she started to float.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAeKzzX1OBsg
Jake didn’t let her steal the show by turning his arm into a strange bio-blade. Everyone was ready for the last round of the fight.
293Please respect copyright.PENANA9PfnhZCelh
Louise 2: “Go!”
293Please respect copyright.PENANAquGe72HVjM
With a burst of speed, she charged the Ravager with Jake while giving a war cry. Dovah took to the sky and rained fire and ice onto the machine.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAmJPUc7XnUd
Raskeria aided the group with various spells, mostly fire and stuff like ‘Create Pit’.
293Please respect copyright.PENANActyHXQt3cz
But the most impressive spell was ‘haste’. Jake and Louise felt a new burst of speed that allowed them to dodge the massive blade much easier.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAX7mEirKPz4
Jake used the opening to slash the Ravager but the blade shattered on impact. Not losing any steam, Jake switched to a blunt bioweapon that knocked a leg into a pit.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAW8G1nbzcRP
Ravager retaliated by swinging the claw hand at Jake. He caught the attack with some difficulty which gave Louise 2 time to unleash various bladed strikes aimed at its chest.
293Please respect copyright.PENANASGzg44JMu8
Ravager tried to pull its claw hand to defend but Jake held on. It attempted to slice him apart with its blade but Dovah came in and struck it hard with its legs. The colossus toppled over by the force of the blow.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAF3olbF1BEW
Raskeria: “Yeah, stay right there. Disintegrate.”
293Please respect copyright.PENANAXqwoWLi8Ks
Like before, a green ray flew out of Raskeria’s hands and this time it hit. It fell into the hole and collapsed back into black sand.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAN2Btm7XwYy
Louise 2: “That won’t be enough! We need to destroy its core.”
293Please respect copyright.PENANApnHyhpL5VP
Jake: “Where is it then!?”
293Please respect copyright.PENANANJLpUymhs0
Louise 2: “It was in its chest but who knows where it will be when it reforms.”
293Please respect copyright.PENANAD9AMytTiAO
They look back at Rask and she couldn’t help but rub the back of her head.
293Please respect copyright.PENANACJXz3plBDO
Raskeria: “My bad.”
293Please respect copyright.PENANAdsZtMthRmo
Jake: “Tch, it’s like fighting a machine version of me.”
293Please respect copyright.PENANAN0tcpfz9Yz
Dovahkiin: “FO KRAH DIIN”
293Please respect copyright.PENANA7zPgzy8KRg
The dragon breathed chilling ice into the hole, causing the black sand to solidly freeze. Louise 2 helped by placing her hand behind her lower hip. A circular compartment opened and a black ball landed on to her palm.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAcHxWwYa50I
She threw it into the pit and as soon as it hit the frozen black sand, the ball split into 4 quarter spheres. They planted themselves around the hole and created a circular white field of energy.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAj1amaqS9kM
Louise 2: “That will buy us a few precious moments. We need to kill this thing fast before it can adapt to everything we can throw at it. Especially since it got hit with magic.”
293Please respect copyright.PENANAQuAr0wjlF4
Raskeria: “What do you mean?”
293Please respect copyright.PENANAcTT0ajJDti
Louise 2: “I don’t know for sure but the Ravager’s ability to adapt is unmatched. If it can adapt to magic then we’re done. So hold it off while I find the weak point and rip it out.”
293Please respect copyright.PENANA8VZAssDjy2
Jake: “…Fine.”
293Please respect copyright.PENANAGovNXcEBYM
The other 2 nodded and got into position.
293Please respect copyright.PENANA3TZOzjV2Pw
After a few agonizing moments, they heard the ice shatter. Shortly after, the light within the hole flickered before dying. A black shadow exploded out of the hold and to everyone’s horror, the Ravager was flying.
293Please respect copyright.PENANANzscM4K0Wk
It looked like a bastardization of a dragon. Mangled mouth, bladed wings, and 4 limbs designed to kill. The 2 front limbs are like before, blade and claw. The back limbs though are machine guns.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAIqymOzc2RS
Louise 2: “You got to be kidding me.”293Please respect copyright.PENANA4Aja5lUqom
293Please respect copyright.PENANAzrbWiRL9pw
The Ravager started firing at everything below. Raskeria created another shield around everyone to block the heavy bullet fire.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAdLLDIphQeO
Raskeria: “Dovahkiin, this is all you. I’ll focus on protecting everyone while you distract it enough to prevent it from firing.”
293Please respect copyright.PENANAOEzcMVgpJ7
Without saying a word, Dovah went into the skies to fight the insult to its kind. Jake started to climb the walls to get a good angle for jumping on the thing.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAzY3b8UbXV7
Despite Dovah’s best efforts though, Ravager wasn’t that bothered by it’s attacks. That was until Dovah started using more unique shouts.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAaYZqHM2Z8r
Dovahkiin: “VEN GAAR NOS!”
293Please respect copyright.PENANARlIxctDGYy
A large cyclone of wind appeared around Ravager which threw off its flight and aim. Dovah continued battering it with ice breath. Eventually, the Ravager turned its full attention to Dovah.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAW5C0XQR8Ao
Louise 2: “Great, bring it down quick! I can see where the core is! Focus your attacks on its head!”
293Please respect copyright.PENANAOqrqxQFaBV
Raskeria: “I still need to keep the shield on Dovahkiin so I can’t attack.”
293Please respect copyright.PENANALjDd0L1289
Louise 2: “That’s a good thing, just focus on support.”
293Please respect copyright.PENANAvSwLW2aljH
Jake finally found a good angle and jumped on the Ravager. He started to hammer its head, trying to open a hole into its core. Dovah helped by striking its head with claw and talon.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAWI3xb9fDXt
Thanks to their various attacks, Ravager was getting closer to the ground. But that victory was short-lived. Ravager started to glow and before the two attackers could react, it exploded with blue electricity and fire.
293Please respect copyright.PENANANV49QLMC4K
Raskeria: “Was that…magic?”
293Please respect copyright.PENANAdiJawc3t0O
Louise 2: “No, not yet anyway. It’s not too late, I’ll rip out that core even if I have to force myself to fly up there.”
293Please respect copyright.PENANAIUKw53tYIh
Dova shrugged it off but still lost some ground. Jake on the other hand was on fire and falling.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAIOyWDhqelc
Jake: ‘Of course, it had to use fire and lightning of all things.’
293Please respect copyright.PENANAt3mYX8jIpu
Jake would eventually regenerate any damage done but the lightning will slow him down. Regardless, he’ll get back into the action. But the Ravager doesn’t know that, it sees a near-death opponent.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAKiqoKq89L6
It abandoned the dragon and went to delete the living weapon. But before it could, another welcomed surprise appeared. The final and winning variable.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAjRzUFBQ2Hv
A new creature entered the battle and it was even bigger than the Ravager. It was dark and covered the entire school with its shadow. The beast tucked in its wings and dived into the Ravager.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAwjxJMpchBu
The force of the blow sent the machine crashing back to the earth. The new beast followed soon after and landed. The ground shook from both of their landings.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAoTBrOeWUFG
It stood like a human and uses its arms to hold down the Ravager. Its horns curled into a great crest over its head. It was a dragon.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAWxMnPQDM5V
There was a bulky quality to the dragon that made it seem mighty and proud. From its armor-like scales to its sword-like wings to its powerful claws, this being existed for battle.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAXJiFZNp6Bz
Proven by the useless struggle of the Ravager. But Louise 2 was no fool. Even this new dragon would fall if the Ravager got used to its strength.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAiQk01phYsE
Louise 2: “I don’t know who you are but if you can understand me, keep it down while I end this.”
293Please respect copyright.PENANA1fFgU9bjqf
The new dragon complied and held Ravager up where she could get a good shot without hitting the dragon in the process. As if it knew what her plan was.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAUTIeKKfBdM
She took a deep breath, fell forward, and went on all fours with the right arm and left leg supporting her. In this form, she flared her wings.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAYFIWfCud1B
Louise 2: ‘This might be really stupid and life-threatening but this Ravager could be the most dangerous thing in existence. That’s if it’s given enough time to adapt to everything we threw at it. I need to kill it, no matter the cost.’
293Please respect copyright.PENANAbLjq54yUho
The distance between them became smaller.
293Please respect copyright.PENANA1N9zLNZ19P
A low humming sound that was slowly rising in pitch entered Louise 2’s ears. The intricate lines that marked her whole body glowed pink. Steam rose between the line. With every breath she took, scalding steam escaped her mouth.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAhmLLvtp8DE
20 meters
293Please respect copyright.PENANAHM80Hx8Tjz
Arcs of pink electricity started to form around her.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAGD3L4iEV7m
15 meters
293Please respect copyright.PENANAMsrDWEx5UW
She opened her eyes; her vision was surrounded by plenty of warnings but she dismissed them.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAXvDkyPuvCm
10 meters
293Please respect copyright.PENANAHigxUeVRSI
Louise 2: “Adapt to this!”
293Please respect copyright.PENANAllfqboCeJs
5 meters
293Please respect copyright.PENANAz6nwRlDA3O
Her wings released a large force, destroying the entire wall behind her. At the same time, her left foot also gave out a large force that launched her toward the Ravager at godly speeds. Thanks to ‘haste’, it was even faster than normal.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAJjgw4PMnyC
Starting from 0 all the up to Mach 10. For every 5 meters she crossed, an extra Mach 5 was added. By the time she reached the Ravager, she was going at Mach 30.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAcgA9DmpbyQ
The sonic boom made it into everyone’s ears. Students screamed and even the fighters had to cover their ears as the ground quaked.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAF8ttCxztNq
The fighters aside from Jake ran up to the aftermath of the attack. Colbert also came running despite Aeterna’s warning.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAB8X7cxVsQl
Good news, the Ravager now sported a missing head. Bad news, behind the Ravager was a badly damaged Louise 2.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAxfKKhNdro4
To everyone’s horror, her arms were bent unnaturally and they, along with her legs, looked like they were caught in a very powerful explosion. Steam wafted from her body along with the occasional pink sparks. Colbert had to shield his face at the amount of heat she was giving off. Everyone else seemed fine though.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAeUogCNz5tx
Raskeria: “Okay, that looks terrible. But I can fix this.”
293Please respect copyright.PENANA0sDXCL7sKE
She started to create ice to cool her down before applying healing magic. But before she could a voice stopped her.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAi8ce0uFf2A
“STOP, YOU’RE GOING TO KILL HER!”
293Please respect copyright.PENANAlqeIZjGoQ0
The group turned to see another golem. They were about to start blasting, but that was until they noticed something. This one was different, it was blue with white lines on its side. It didn’t sport a head but instead a dome. Its body was cylindrical in shape. On the bottom, it was giving off some sort of glow like Louise’s wings.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAdf0aYkKZ7i
Colbert: “Stop, any closer and we’ll consider you an enemy!”
293Please respect copyright.PENANAWPgbZR7zo6
Raskeria: “I vote enemy, where was he when everything was going wrong?”
293Please respect copyright.PENANABlufeAAFfe
Louise 2: “B-Bench? I-Is that…y-you?”
293Please respect copyright.PENANA6XLndhi9pK
They all look back to Louise 2 with worry etched on their faces. It was a bit harder to tell on the dragons’ faces but they obviously cared about their ally.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAQSWMptsmnJ
Colbert: “Miss Valliere!”
293Please respect copyright.PENANASwzJCJ6HYM
Louise 2: “Please…let Bench…come to me…professor.”
293Please respect copyright.PENANA62sRDx1tk0
Raskeria: “But what about my magic? I can heal you good as new.”
293Please respect copyright.PENANAREGw0CQDMz
Louise 2: “Don’t…I…d-don’t know…what effect it…will h-have.”
293Please respect copyright.PENANAx4Pn38Sb1K
Bench: “Listen to her, I know what to do. Trust me, she’s in good hands.”
293Please respect copyright.PENANAA1wYLwESJQ
Raskeria: “…Fine. This whole thing is beyond me anyway.”
293Please respect copyright.PENANAkl59gNAOQi
Heeding his words, Raskeria and Colbert moved out of the way. Bench approached Louise 2 and a blue line scanned her entire being.
293Please respect copyright.PENANARyZfO3sNQk
Bench: “You’ve really done it this time Louise.”
293Please respect copyright.PENANA0iqx6fGFDP
Louise 2: “Why does…it…matter…I destroyed…the Ravager.”
293Please respect copyright.PENANA7nXCrK1GQ6
Bench: “I don’t know for sure if I can fix you up. The best I can do would be probably to cool you down so that you don’t overheat.”
293Please respect copyright.PENANA1x9fWBF6jO
Raskeria: ‘You mean what I was going to do?’
293Please respect copyright.PENANAI92otCePt4
Louise 2: “Then would…this help?”
293Please respect copyright.PENANAoLUENEKGCa
She asks while letting go of a red orb that was giving a low hum.
293Please respect copyright.PENANABt5UYOvjSc
Bench: “Is that what I think it is?”
293Please respect copyright.PENANA4XioIrpKm0
Louise 2: “Y-You bet…it is.”
293Please respect copyright.PENANAGGoGHnVrPT
A blue line passed over the orb from Bench.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAP1K5eFnbsP
Bench: “I can’t believe it, a Ravager core.”
293Please respect copyright.PENANAiF0JWHr4td
Raskeria: “You mean that’s what we were fighting to destroy? Why is it intact?”
293Please respect copyright.PENANAOyMwuOJS3k
Bench: “Because this might be the only sure way to save Louise.”
293Please respect copyright.PENANAfTDiIglcSB
Raskeria: “Magic is out but the core of that monster is okay?”
293Please respect copyright.PENANAlxQ9pASQOa
Dovahkiin: “I agree, destroy it.”
293Please respect copyright.PENANANMc7KYFfXK
Bench: “Look, what if your magic doesn’t work but hurts her instead? If we destroy this, that’s it. Louise dies. Do you want that?”
293Please respect copyright.PENANA67cfqS9Z3M
Raskeria: “No but I’m keeping my eye on you…and that.”
293Please respect copyright.PENANAngbGv5Notn
Bench: “By all means.”
293Please respect copyright.PENANArCK67YNIMu
Louise 2: “So…can you…d-do it Bench?”
293Please respect copyright.PENANAjl1mxpzh5b
Bench: “Do you know who you’re talking to?
293Please respect copyright.PENANAAX6oxKoxUA
Louise 2: “That’s…good.”
293Please respect copyright.PENANAW6fS4wtJf5
Louise 2 finally succumbs to her wounds and passes out. Bench looks to Colbert and gives a stern order.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAMQbB1rHtDc
Bench: “Take me to where your clinic is, I have a Hunter to repair!”
293Please respect copyright.PENANAMAEV38Mzl4
Jake: “Wait a minute!”
293Please respect copyright.PENANAmY2f99Ur5S
Everyone looks to a fully healed Jake who’s storming toward Colbert. He morphs his arm into a blade and points it at the man.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAPlFMyna4TY
Bench: “What are you doing?!”
293Please respect copyright.PENANANASFqLcc9O
Jake: “Just because I helped defeat that thing doesn’t mean we’re allies. I need answers!”
293Please respect copyright.PENANA8X5S0tuQlG
Raskeria: “Calm down Jake, do you really want to fight everyone here?”
293Please respect copyright.PENANAab3Ff18ZGF
Jake: “…I’ll do what I have to.”
293Please respect copyright.PENANAoKdaWq3s4Z
Colbert: “W-What do you want to know?”
293Please respect copyright.PENANAEhIEzfEKes
Bench: “We don’t have time for this! Louise will die if Colbert doesn’t show me to the clinic.”
293Please respect copyright.PENANA13cMlKjGMG
Jake: “I don’t care.”
293Please respect copyright.PENANArYGJYW0ECF
Bench: “You-”
293Please respect copyright.PENANAqbaB6kDQCv
Suddenly, a bright light appeared on everyone’s side. The massive dragon started to magically compress into a more human shape. Eventually, a man in his thirties with rich brown skin, short dark red hair, and hazel eyes appeared.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAVSVdffJuSD
His armor was a sight to behold. Pieces of armor don over a colorful robe. He had a sword at his belt and a magnificent staff on his back. Finally, a strange necklace graced his muscular chest.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAmNpJoGFX23
Even the more prideful of the group couldn’t help but acknowledge the power and sheer royalty coming off of him. Next, they felt a charge tingle their skin.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAvfC0uWTj2P
“Can you understand me?”
293Please respect copyright.PENANAPrbsdqXRLC
Raskeria: ‘A translation spell? Oh, he’s good.’
293Please respect copyright.PENANA6vxg6sT0tM
Colbert: “Y-Yes.”
293Please respect copyright.PENANAOMc6aepQWp
“Wonderful, my name is Zander and I’ll take them to the clinic.”
293Please respect copyright.PENANAGI2FTZSOsQ
Colbert: “But how? You don’t know the way.”
293Please respect copyright.PENANA1FTAVDDxTN
Zander: “I’ll ask one of the students or the staff. I’m sure they’ll help.”
293Please respect copyright.PENANA5g95lXFzR5
With a slight twist of his wrist, Louise begins to float off the ground.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAX0swAaGeGs
Zander: “Shall we go Bench?”
293Please respect copyright.PENANAdk6TyFytpN
Bench: “Yes, quickly now.”

They begin to leave but before that Zander gives a sharp glare to Jake.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAGZShEFSgrf
Zander: “I hope I don’t have to come back here and deal with you Jake. I rather we be friends than enemies.”
293Please respect copyright.PENANAFRGhPIqLsD
Jake scoffs at the notion but says nothing more. Even he can understand that the being before him is the strongest one in the courtyard. He’s going to need some time before taking him on.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAPKpDB8X8is
No one said a word until Zander was gone.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAdiVKH8w46P
Colbert: “Okay, so what do you want to know Jake.”
293Please respect copyright.PENANAXkJ10tN9Wi
Jake: “After everything I just saw and heard, I’m not going to question magic or the fact I’m in another world. I know there’s nothing like these things on earth. But…”
293Please respect copyright.PENANAnERZGb5hzz
Jake brings his blade a bit closer to Colbert which makes everyone tense up, ready for another fight.
293Please respect copyright.PENANA4aL8TuiNXg
Jake: “You will take me back to New York.”
293Please respect copyright.PENANAa4c0V5qIcV
Colbert: “I’m sorry but…there’s no way back. None that we know of.”
293Please respect copyright.PENANA7cHXypkj5h
The moment those words left his mouth, he felt the urge to slice off his head.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAdIzsxAmfFD
No way to get back to New York meant Blackwatch ran free and the only family he has left was in danger.
293Please respect copyright.PENANA5lRaSbOOJL
The only reason why he hasn’t gone on a rampage is because of the other summons. Based on his instincts and the fight, he knew they wouldn’t be easy prey. Especially…Zander.
293Please respect copyright.PENANA09HNAKtVKT
Jake isn’t stupid, he knows when to bide his time. They will pay for doing this. Despite that, he still couldn’t fully contain his fury. Jake clenched his fist and his blade began to shake with smoldering rage.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAF4n0WZYDdF
Jake: “You think this is easy for me? I want to go back and kill every last one of those Blackwatch bastards but that pink-haired bitch pulled me here!”
293Please respect copyright.PENANACcWzkLTohw
Colbert: “Sir, I’m truly sorry but there is no way to reverse this.”
293Please respect copyright.PENANADYgK0qvsno
Jake gritted his teeth in frustration. He wanted to destroy Blackwatch and Gentek personally and slowly for what they did to him. For his parents, for the people, and aunt Dana.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAlCz1W8rgLE
Raskeria: “There might be a way.”
293Please respect copyright.PENANAuUzKiCn6fP
Everyone turned toward the girl. Jake’s eyes widened with relief but also slow-cooking anger.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAb45tvC5oXi
Jake: “Tell me.”
293Please respect copyright.PENANARNtJagCJOd
Raskeria: “I have the ability to use the 9th level spell ‘gate’ to teleport through the planes. If your world is out there, I can send you back.”
293Please respect copyright.PENANAzHo7xAAqof
Jake: “Then-”
293Please respect copyright.PENANAxO0rvkIPq8
Raskeria: “But I don’t know where it is. You either have to describe it the best you can and hope I find it or…”
293Please respect copyright.PENANAJ5l6XBXNaa
Jake: “Or?”
293Please respect copyright.PENANAnHhGxGp2B3
Raskeria: “Learn magic and go yourself.”
293Please respect copyright.PENANAzWJNawE5Tm
Colbert: “Learn magic?”
293Please respect copyright.PENANAi915c4Jdrl
Raskeria: “Yeah, it will be hard but it can be done.”
293Please respect copyright.PENANAsQaKgkuPRT
Jake: “…”
293Please respect copyright.PENANAXP52G9jbzD
Jake thought about it. He saw how powerful magic can be. If he brought that back to New York, Blackwatch wouldn’t stand a chance. Not like they stood much of one anyway.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAzwqfMNEViZ
But still, time is of the essence. He can’t be gone for long.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAx90H5lhMfT
Jake: “How long would it take for me to learn.”
293Please respect copyright.PENANAlxsRT1Ir7W
Raskeria: “Depends on you and I’m not the best teacher. I can find someone better though. Regardless, it can take up to a few months or a few years. You’re aiming for ‘gate’ after all.”
293Please respect copyright.PENANATUncbirkAK
Jake: ‘Years!? No, I don’t have that kind of time. I’ll leave that as a backup.’
293Please respect copyright.PENANA1mQ4TffLaD
Jake: “Both. I’ll learn a bit and see if I can do it fast. In the meantime, I expect a weekly report on your progress.”
293Please respect copyright.PENANAbdWIuWha1z
Raskeria: “Sure, sure. Right now though, I’m tired. I’m going home and telling everyone what happened. See you. ‘gate’.”
293Please respect copyright.PENANA8e4zDhacOG
A rip in reality appears behind Raskeria. She yawns and goes through which causes it to close.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAgwdgnn2EAK
Jake: ‘Tch, she better make good on our deal. Or I have another person on my list to kill here.’
293Please respect copyright.PENANAeW8TOHaXpO
Jake: *Sigh*
293Please respect copyright.PENANAnBI7bac3hk
Jake: “If anyone needs me, I’ll be taking a walk. I need to eat something after all that. That unlucky bird wasn’t enough.”
293Please respect copyright.PENANAeIGtstAHh8
Jake jumps over the walls and vanishes into the forest. Colbert looks like he’s aged a few decades from this whole event. But at least, it’s almost over.
293Please respect copyright.PENANA75ZCRvzMna
Colbert: “Well, you’re the last one. What will you do?”
293Please respect copyright.PENANAASypHZHtbJ
Dovahkiin: “Stay for now. Jake’s situation seemed more serious than mine so he can get the gate treatment first. Besides…”
293Please respect copyright.PENANAQ6F1mfWP2g
Dovahkiin: ‘It’s not all Louise’s fault that I ended up here. Damn that dedric prince.’
293Please respect copyright.PENANAMvXxOLvFpo
Colbert: “Yes?”
293Please respect copyright.PENANAVvyUaXyus0
Dovahkiin: “Nothing. I’ll explore the surrounding area and get the lay of the land. I’ll also keep an eye on Jake just in case.”
293Please respect copyright.PENANA36EqDw2rEk
Colbert nodded and stepped further back to allow Dovah to sweep her wings up and down. She leaps into the air and starts flying over the academy and forests in a circular pattern.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAbTj77q8KPS
Colbert: “Brimir save us, what has Louise unleashed…”
293Please respect copyright.PENANAux4XesFZDE
[Louise’s Room]
293Please respect copyright.PENANAozJ5Xy8TlK
The battle was over and the wounded were taken to the clinic. But Aeterna’s master hasn’t woken up yet. She learned where Louise’s room is and takes her there.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAwvZMWZJ8f8
She gently takes her to the bed and lies her down.
293Please respect copyright.PENANA7ukwx6HeLr
Aeterna: “Already, that power is drawing dangerous things to you.”
293Please respect copyright.PENANAEk3dEVZJpQ
She looks around the room and notices the decorum. Not too fancy but fit for a noble. The thing that drew attention though was the pile of hay.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAGg60Jri0ge
Aeterna: “Did she really expect me to sleep on that? I guess she was expecting an animal though.”
293Please respect copyright.PENANA8Qq8I5gl8Y
She looks down at her body and remembers that she’s still wearing lingerie.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAcMrmDv9y68
Aeterna: “I better change out of this. The battle is over so I’m sure Louise will be fine for a while. I can probably get the maid outfit and a job at the same time.”
293Please respect copyright.PENANAhDUnXmzg7F
With that thought, Aeterna leaves the room.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAA6HBIfxoqg
…
…
293Please respect copyright.PENANAwqw4C0bmCN
From the darkness of the room emerges a black snake. The last and omega familiar that will have the biggest impact on the events to come. He slithers onto the bed and whispers into Louise’s head.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAePydxtpanC
‘This is a very interesting playground I’ve ended up in. But it’s no problem for me, I’ve been through worse. What matters now, is controlling the most important piece on the board.’
293Please respect copyright.PENANACy6wOgr3MH
‘Hehe, I’m getting excited. Sweet dreams Louise.’
293Please respect copyright.PENANA1SGWWNP3SV
The snake faded back into the darkness of the room and waited patiently for his time strike. The only real problem is that redhead. If he can convince Louise to bond with him first, she’ll be his. She doesn’t yet realize the immense power that dwells with the redhead. He’ll be a better choice, especially when he offers her overwhelming power.
293Please respect copyright.PENANA6GlFTdtROi
But unknown to the snake and everyone else, something else was stirring. The borders between realities have weaken and the first sign of what’s to come bleeds into this world.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAx86QFrai8v
Outside, in the deep shadows of the forest, a rip in the reality opens and spits out a curiosity. A sword that freeze the surrounding air and calls for the dead to rise. If only a soul would wield it.
293Please respect copyright.PENANA3WD9c0vRV1
Among the clouds and across the forest, more rips threaten to form.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAVbwY2LMI3O
‘Let the games begin.’

293Please respect copyright.PENANASePERC2t9n
I personally had the most trouble with the fight scenes. Trying to prevent an instant win delivered by Raskeria or Dovahkiin was hard. Handling multiple OP characters while keeping the stakes was a struggle. But I think I did well enough for version 1.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAKQUoRYuykE
It will get even harder when Tech wakes up and does his stuff. Combining the worlds of D&D and Elder Scrolls will be more so. But the potential for something special is there.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAgZSvcr1rGN
I enjoyed the beginning the most, the dialogue and character interactions. The whole thing just felt like an “Avengers Assemble” moment. If I do continue, I hope I can do this band misfits justice.
