Welcome, to my first fan fic. After years, I finally gave in and tried a few.
268Please respect copyright.PENANARNAYjuaotf
Mostly crossovers.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAhcEiPWcSpQ
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.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAyvt073LSNe
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.
268Please respect copyright.PENANA7lwiJrWfYD
They will be listed at the end of this one-shot.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAOJjI7LPKxs
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.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAC0dFZM92A2
This is version 1 after all. If I can perfect the foundation and people like it, then I can continue.
268Please respect copyright.PENANA5eQBRZWwGY
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.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAMpRzp8SC3O
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.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAD4j8tpM9d1
With that out of the way, let’s dive into this slice of eternity in a moment.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAVW9IYQPb9e
268Please respect copyright.PENANAMLSQo5tcWX
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.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAH8yYvwyzQf
Aside from that though, they were also anxious. Anxious about what kind of familiar they would get.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAVxhixeCmZs
A summoned familiar mirrors their master’s personality and elemental affinity. Who knows what hidden secrets their familiars may accidentally reveal to everyone?
268Please respect copyright.PENANATpdDrnEDEo
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.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAK3v1J7Tl8a
Yes, all of them have tried and succeeded in summoning a familiar.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAiuKlp9wLND
Well, all but one.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAvzcR68NADI
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.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAoeYlPQSuHU
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.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAZdo5NnCr2i
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.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAisZKrP1VSc
Colbert: “All right then, has everyone had their turn?”
268Please respect copyright.PENANAyKTFfmIdYf
But the one to fully shatter her hopes was her bully and rival, Kirche von Zerbst. The busty chocolate beauty.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAxuhBn1h9Qw
Kirche: “No, not quite. Ms. Valliere hasn’t done it.”
268Please respect copyright.PENANAnIvf52P3tB
Louise: ‘Brimir, darn you Kirche.’
268Please respect copyright.PENANArmZ21mLC5i
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.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAK6lCI7WAlw
Maybe then, she’ll be respected and can finally deliver some good news to her family.
268Please respect copyright.PENANA4FShNS7mng
She goes to the summoning area and prepares to-
268Please respect copyright.PENANAAzjO8zL0jh
“Louise the zero.”
268Please respect copyright.PENANAuTL2jFIJia
“What do you suppose she’ll summon”
268Please respect copyright.PENANA1ZLYNj273X
“There’s no way she can summon anything. We’ll just have another explosion and nothing else.”
268Please respect copyright.PENANAHnHK9bOUTT
Kirche: “With all your boasting, you should be able to summon up something more amazing than this. Right, Louise?”
268Please respect copyright.PENANAke0cDOuM2S
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.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAqRiISwmOo7
Louise: “Well of course!”
268Please respect copyright.PENANAgvLCTJ9sOq
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.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAZzOsUWSRVs
She didn’t know it then but, someone was listening to her prayers.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAB1IjFgafXI
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!”
268Please respect copyright.PENANAQXBAoH8Y8B
“And so the die is cast.”
268Please respect copyright.PENANAMVInIhfDmP
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.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAo8U1m3VGbG
…
…
268Please respect copyright.PENANA5IMFFnKLKT
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.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAveTw7fQd8P
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.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAvdKqPtPMex
The students quickly collected themselves and began their favorite pass time.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAyXnX8wHEpD
“Hah, I knew it! Once a Zero always a Zero.”
268Please respect copyright.PENANAoP6LWjrlzd
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.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAelw0qrT1t3
The one most scared was Slyphid, the medium-sized blue dragon summoned by the petite blue-haired Tabitha.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAyPqMG3ZuIp
Tabitha: “What?”
268Please respect copyright.PENANAyj5dqTKIR3
Her question brought Slyphid’s head around to look her in the eyes. With their intimate bond, Slyphid was able to respond telepathically.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAo0DrHvTxHP
Slyphid: ‘I smell her! I’m Frightened! But…there’s…more than just her…a…Predator.’
268Please respect copyright.PENANAalwk1IBLof
The panicked voice in her head startled Tabitha. For a rhyme dragon of all things to be frightened…
268Please respect copyright.PENANAjhcLWhGfn5
Tabitha: “What do you…mean?”
268Please respect copyright.PENANAgtb1m9f1qe
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.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAvcllqeraIO
Louise: ‘Wait!? Shadows?’
268Please respect copyright.PENANABArG0Fb9W1
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.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAPjGuVyIzQv
When the smoke cleared, something completely unexpected awaited everyone. Not only did Louise summon a human but she summoned multiple familiars.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAIJ1ltOJXki
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.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAlo4SYnokAP
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.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAJpvgiEgJJZ
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.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAooehRDH3Gg
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.
268Please respect copyright.PENANACmGW66GHto
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.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAoQ6Q3i3555
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.
268Please respect copyright.PENANA8DgQrnbLSO
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.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAVMD1U1JcBa
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.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAHvgworeENl
As for Louise, she just couldn’t look away. Especially after what happened next.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAHHyfT8Xx62
“Kolo Zu’u, druv los tinvaak dovahzul?”
268Please respect copyright.PENANA7hwVW9muCX
…
…268Please respect copyright.PENANAi0Mw7tMWWV
268Please respect copyright.PENANAmwyTVrgfPF
Kirche: “Did that dragon just…speak?”
268Please respect copyright.PENANAmfJBmgnEdt
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.
268Please respect copyright.PENANANGTKlfUXhI
After a few moments of conversation and looking around, they stopped and looked at Louise.
268Please respect copyright.PENANARxLe0bi5td
“Okay, who summoned us?”
268Please respect copyright.PENANAn10op4gKZl
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.
268Please respect copyright.PENANA5jlKRHmIgt
Louise: “I-I did. My name is Louise Francoise Le Blanc de La Valliere.”268Please respect copyright.PENANA1IHHKX8Wau
268Please respect copyright.PENANAvd5V4dCtBZ
“Well hi Louise, my name is Raskreia or Rask for short. This dragon is named Dovahkiin, strange name I know.”
268Please respect copyright.PENANAhGqvdfd8aL
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.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAdNlhjXZQXW
268Please respect copyright.PENANAnwajVaBs4n
Raskreia: “Now, I have questions but first I think we should help the kid.”
268Please respect copyright.PENANANpzd8ij4x0
268Please respect copyright.PENANA8I3BaDGgSp
Colbert finally escaped his shock and agreed. He asks some students to carry the boy to the infirmary.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAYtB4fFPBpu
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.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAhNlp38sMYG
Colbert: ‘Who knows what could’ve happened if we delayed any further.’
268Please respect copyright.PENANA2vahMSCRPf
“Ugh, what, is with the racket.”
268Please respect copyright.PENANAHWvko9MNeW
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.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAfrvBa1Sk9i
“I slept in an inn in my underwear, and I wake up in a summoning circle in them. Ugh, what even?”
268Please respect copyright.PENANAd6CnPXfegA
Raskreia: “Well, looks who’s awake.”
268Please respect copyright.PENANAOUPbdZSBmQ
She sighs.268Please respect copyright.PENANAhbPRas1aRi
268Please respect copyright.PENANALXdsQfpSSS
“And I am surrounded by children and a strange dragon.”
268Please respect copyright.PENANAH3ZU6IgqY4
Colbert: “Since everyone is awake, not including the injured, we should proceed with the bonding ritual.”268Please respect copyright.PENANA3b04gcz1oE
268Please respect copyright.PENANAz1B2JUDDpH
Raskreia: “Sure, if you’re going to explain to us what in the nine hells is going on here exactly and where we are?”268Please respect copyright.PENANA0sViHR1kAa
268Please respect copyright.PENANARwnlVYlk4B
At this, Louise answers before the man could.268Please respect copyright.PENANArS7C9dcuXJ
268Please respect copyright.PENANArO0CNJx89J
Louise: “You’re here because I summoned you all to be my familiar with the summon servant spell, and I am your master now.”
268Please respect copyright.PENANAzeofXKw36l
Rask rolls her eyes while the other 2 had more animated responses.268Please respect copyright.PENANAy3aJVa5z6W
268Please respect copyright.PENANAfpn5JFLupa
“Whoa, back the fuck up. Why should I be your familiar?”268Please respect copyright.PENANAjalBEw9P7G
268Please respect copyright.PENANA5waMg5Xn7f
Dovahkiin: “What do you mean by bonding?”268Please respect copyright.PENANAWR4adAhAPD
268Please respect copyright.PENANA6bGAaeGZj4
Everyone except Rask blinked. That was in Tristainian.268Please respect copyright.PENANA7k8tJYk4ke
268Please respect copyright.PENANAqHA3Wii4GH
Dovahkiin: “Oh, so now my voice returns.”
268Please respect copyright.PENANAdH6ty4gOOt
Colbert: “You can speak our language?”
268Please respect copyright.PENANAMB474066bh
Dovahkiin: “I can speak this language, but before I was…confused and spoke in native Dovahzul.”
268Please respect copyright.PENANAViBKl2zvdE
Raskreia: “Really? I guess I don’t need this anymore then.”
268Please respect copyright.PENANAbTOLl7y0dZ
Rask puts the ring back in her bag.
268Please respect copyright.PENANArFzrkO9iQj
Colbert: “Dovahzul, I haven’t heard of that language.”
268Please respect copyright.PENANAITJVHlh48I
“Neither have I, strange.”
268Please respect copyright.PENANA8pHGOaMTP1
Dovahkiin: “Enough of this, what do you mean by bonding?”
268Please respect copyright.PENANA80dAy7ubIa
Despite the group before her, Louise bravely stepped forward again.
268Please respect copyright.PENANApt8tSXIXzq
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.”
268Please respect copyright.PENANArCYpO5HWdJ
The reactions from all summoned present varied but none good.268Please respect copyright.PENANAl4Rr5gIDJ9
268Please respect copyright.PENANAbB6k9SADGM
Raskreia: “I’m fine with getting summoned but getting branded like some animal, no thanks.”268Please respect copyright.PENANAVAIfnKhJQb
268Please respect copyright.PENANANazNRs7E0F
Louise’s mood quickly deteriorates but there’s still hope she thought. She summoned more than one, surely one would agree.
268Please respect copyright.PENANARzdho246Ns
But that thought quickly faded away when the dragon growled. It drew itself up by stretching its wings down and glared at Louise.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAWv0aC86GrH
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?”
268Please respect copyright.PENANAFpDEdjyaOs
Raskreia: ‘Oh no, they made the dragon mad. That’s never a good idea. No matter the plane.’
268Please respect copyright.PENANAyPFGejmANz
Colbert stepped in as Louise faltered and took several steps back.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAEqT3pQ0SLU
Colbert: “It’s how the holy ritual has been performed for hundreds of years.”
268Please respect copyright.PENANATRYaukgtrr
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.”
268Please respect copyright.PENANApZYtdPP8cf
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.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAO6ar4TlhIl
Dovahkiin: “I for one refuse to become anyone’s slave. I simply want to return to the life I lived before this all occurred.”
268Please respect copyright.PENANAAxPfTTZlfN
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.”
268Please respect copyright.PENANApM4fXN9Ix3
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.’268Please respect copyright.PENANAdgEHmzsWXn
268Please respect copyright.PENANALQxe7g4Pth
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.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAnyFAfrfEwt
She grips her wand tightly, wishing this was all a dream. Unbeknownst to her, there was one that considered her offer.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAHhGZsw1k28
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.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAAyi6iMhecj
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.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAo9peBlsIeD
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.268Please respect copyright.PENANAmJLLrcNHfP
268Please respect copyright.PENANAdUukdZCocV
She knew intimately what happens in situations like that. Despite her previous obligations, the redhead made her choice.268Please respect copyright.PENANA9dEmLjYC57
268Please respect copyright.PENANA1DDocOstAU
“If a familiar is what you seek, then you shall have one. I agree to be yours.”
268Please respect copyright.PENANAGEP8hlhzks
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.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAUs32YtwvRy
Dovahkiin: “You!? You would subject yourself as a slave to a child? Where is your pride as a Dovah?”
268Please respect copyright.PENANA1Y6aNzgaor
“Dovah? I see, that's your word for it. So you can tell?”
268Please respect copyright.PENANAbBrXfKJuvO
Dovahkiin: *Nod*
268Please respect copyright.PENANAKuhU92LCBj
“I have my own reasons.”
268Please respect copyright.PENANAqsp4IkSBD9
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.
268Please respect copyright.PENANASJmlcC2RKC
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?
268Please respect copyright.PENANArTJoF7HHUD
Raskreia: “Well I won’t judge you. It’s your choice.”
268Please respect copyright.PENANAqwzb6pXQWl
Louise reapplies her rule of steel mask and starts towards the redhead. She let out an indignant, resigned huff as she raised her wand.
268Please respect copyright.PENANA98rNhkNVKt
Louise: “Consider yourself fortunate, commoner. Normally, you’d never in your life have a noble do this to you.”
268Please respect copyright.PENANAcW3MV6rVBJ
Louise: “My name is Louise Francoise Le Blanc de La Valliere. Oh, pentagon that rules the five elements, bless this individual and-”
268Please respect copyright.PENANAC5QbYeQXRr
268Please respect copyright.PENANAx3XHoo2byz
‘Did you think this was it?’
268Please respect copyright.PENANAAgE9oogKjY
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.
268Please respect copyright.PENANACn7XDQZoT2
“Louise!?”
268Please respect copyright.PENANAi0LDnm56et
Everyone, including the dragon, looks at Louise with concern. Before anyone could go to her and see what’s wrong, something else extraordinary happens.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAmFIphKQEBL
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.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAbplKTRvI4E
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.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAqTqG0enzzF
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.
268Please respect copyright.PENANANvFrvVME5i
Raskeria: “The hell was that?”
268Please respect copyright.PENANAxS3VRLrL2X
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.
268Please respect copyright.PENANA5AHf8KUV6D
Colbert: “A golem?”
268Please respect copyright.PENANAbjnUWX80Vp
Dovahkiin: “No, something more.”
268Please respect copyright.PENANAbtRepxs9ou
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.
268Please respect copyright.PENANA6rZM6Fkzyn
Guiche: “Unhand me this instant!”
268Please respect copyright.PENANAhIsH4vnPMA
It didn’t respond instead it brought its other arm up and balled it into a fist.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAjaBFdxtOeF
Guiche: “You would dare hit a noble!? I tell you, my father is a gener-”
268Please respect copyright.PENANAsOMhus66LT
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.
268Please respect copyright.PENANA92xwskAhyy
Colbert: “Mister Grammont!”
268Please respect copyright.PENANAeRNcAPpWCZ
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.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAkghlK8xq9a
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.
268Please respect copyright.PENANANsrLFrJHqr
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.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAD3rF28wbne
Guiche: “L-Louise?”268Please respect copyright.PENANAVgJv0LAi28
268Please respect copyright.PENANAQ5S9cXcXJT
Colbert: “But how?”
268Please respect copyright.PENANAzF0w3sxqpH
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.
268Please respect copyright.PENANA1Dc0QcudzN
Raskeria: “Can this day get any crazier?”
268Please respect copyright.PENANArPvX17XfL1
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.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAanlAqT031S
Guiche: “How dare-”
268Please respect copyright.PENANA657TFpRHkz
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.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAyIVRO0yvgF
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.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAHCpMuKTH4T
Regardless, Dova took the golem and threw it across the field away from the students.
268Please respect copyright.PENANA3Bj31sqjvV
While this was happening, the redhead took Louise to a safe distance. She could help but she wanted to keep Louise safe for now.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAYQBoFYM5m9
Raskeria: “That has to be among the strongest golems I’ve ever seen.”
268Please respect copyright.PENANAqL3ukGrIBJ
Dovahkiin: “It’s like a Dwemer automation but more…advanced somehow.”
268Please respect copyright.PENANAn32rA1oEBP
Louise?: “I don’t remember you two when I left. Who are you two?”

Raskeria: “Talk later, fight now!”
268Please respect copyright.PENANAauKr0ZFyMv
Dovahkiin: “YOL TOOR SHUL!”
268Please respect copyright.PENANAuWl7IhYjeU
The dragon breathes intense heat at the golem while Raskeria casts a strange spell that also shoots bolts of fire.
268Please respect copyright.PENANATaxV0hO2oB
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.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAAOGfNdmpSZ
Raskeria: “Okay, that thing is too dangerous. Disintegrate.”
268Please respect copyright.PENANAH7s9PML5Jw
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.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAiCn2xf8cAg
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.
268Please respect copyright.PENANARqdeAEOjgI
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.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAyEIyYshLkg
This proved to be the right choice when the sound of lightning cracked from the cloud of dust.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAQFdNDE2vHP
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.
268Please respect copyright.PENANA7pJZ2lQF9D
Raskeria: “Another one!? To think, I was just hanging out with friends and now I have to fight for my life.”
268Please respect copyright.PENANAuKu8eQOBrI
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.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAMYDphWJY49
Eventually, the sound of clicking reached her ears. She disassembled her shield and placed her hands behind her with her palms open.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAodFaOfvCTg
Louise 2: ‘Here’s my chanc-”
268Please respect copyright.PENANAHtE4w3V4BD
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.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAr2EiAzcJIs
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.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAKs3BgEMr1X
Raskeria: “Did Louise summon another one? I can’t deny it, that’s impressive.”
268Please respect copyright.PENANAgPpoNORbLO
Louise 2: “Friend or foe?”
268Please respect copyright.PENANA1zYRXbkzd8
Jake: “Depends on what happens next. The name’s Jake Logan Anderson, Jake will do.”
268Please respect copyright.PENANAAgIYa0uxCO
Dovahkiin: “FUS RO DAH”
268Please respect copyright.PENANARqJBuFmPiG
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.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAUZN6jiWuZX
Dovahkiin: ‘I need to get used to this body and fast. I hope that was the last of them.’
268Please respect copyright.PENANAjFbHPPY7LF
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.
268Please respect copyright.PENANANqLhFeJYI3
Louise 2: “Mr. Colbert!”
268Please respect copyright.PENANA9sZPgWq4WS
This seemed to jog the man from his shock.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAo9z4mOMgEq
Colbert: “Um yes, what do you need Ms….you are Valliere right?”
268Please respect copyright.PENANAHXO4Gl8gd8
Louise 2: “Yes. Evacuate everyone from this place right now.”
268Please respect copyright.PENANAPGdGKWltcb
Raskeria: “Why? Isn’t it over?”
268Please respect copyright.PENANALf08xRRF19
Jake: “No, it’s never that easy.”
268Please respect copyright.PENANA5aSO9EHfq2
Louise 2: “He’s right, this courtyard isn’t safe anymore.”
268Please respect copyright.PENANANCaIWY3IoD
The doppelganger looked at the strangers she fought with.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAhVuW5wp1RO
Louise 2: “Can trust one of you to help Colbert protect everyone.”
268Please respect copyright.PENANA3gAI6a4gPB
Before any of them could answer, the red-head answered.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAdHN5Xd81HJ
“I’ll protect him along with…you I guess.”
268Please respect copyright.PENANADDLl6m9RWj
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.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAXCm7TW7UmA
Louise 2: “And who are you?”
268Please respect copyright.PENANAxcFbzVMAzX
“My name is Aeterna Flamma, your familiar.”
268Please respect copyright.PENANAX4gfrsIXQD
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.
268Please respect copyright.PENANA5jEr0nPQEb
Dovahkiin: “Trust her, she is stronger than she looks.”
268Please respect copyright.PENANAArzQTVOI8b
Louise: 2: “…Fine. I won’t argue with a dragon. Especially not now.”
268Please respect copyright.PENANAWAAudUiwuC
Aeterna: “Good, come on everyone.”
268Please respect copyright.PENANAIscsslwEzC
Colbert: “Y-You heard them, we can’t stay here any-”
268Please respect copyright.PENANAKn8NvfaXZF
Suddenly, the sound of something rattling made itself known throughout the courtyard. Louise 2 clicked her tongue.
268Please respect copyright.PENANA6pWASkFhCx
Louise 2: “Go, NOW!”
268Please respect copyright.PENANAuExJzjXWvV
They followed her order, many out of fear of the sight before them. The 3 golems slowly but surely collapsed into strange black sand.
268Please respect copyright.PENANA0LXNvqPPLc
Jake: “What the fuck?! Are these truly machines?”
268Please respect copyright.PENANA9dLWjIbN3D
Raskeria: “I’m starting to question that too.”
268Please respect copyright.PENANAb8WxFsSimo
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.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAlKZGiRPBHL
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.
268Please respect copyright.PENANA7lCPNsnbI8
The arms were next. The left was a massive blade and the right was a massive claw hand.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAtzHuk9rTuE
Finally, the head was bulky enough to discourage any beheading. But the most important part was the lines connecting to the chest area.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAgNqjjx38Ie
Louise 2: ‘That’s its weak point.’
268Please respect copyright.PENANAiTG7nE2tO6
Its eyes finally light up and lock onto the fighters.
268Please respect copyright.PENANA1G5eYJy2Tm
Louise 2: “Just my luck, a Ravager.”
268Please respect copyright.PENANAER4M3pbWZg
Raskeria: “A what?”
268Please respect copyright.PENANAAjXgztecDU
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.
268Please respect copyright.PENANA1lEaRMWp9V
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.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAk9bhu0Cbuv
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.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAqpKntWpI3R
Louise 2: “Go!”
268Please respect copyright.PENANA5q3aywCmo4
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.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAtMIm1sRJc0
Raskeria aided the group with various spells, mostly fire and stuff like ‘Create Pit’.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAiL2qn6qqys
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.
268Please respect copyright.PENANArk2kWPrrXQ
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.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAglFEM1Yr9P
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.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAFqCRQLqczE
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.
268Please respect copyright.PENANA62Rq3ozJsj
Raskeria: “Yeah, stay right there. Disintegrate.”
268Please respect copyright.PENANAPHLzOnp98g
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.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAas6V442oah
Louise 2: “That won’t be enough! We need to destroy its core.”
268Please respect copyright.PENANAvaAX3FzUR9
Jake: “Where is it then!?”
268Please respect copyright.PENANAIu28yLbyjk
Louise 2: “It was in its chest but who knows where it will be when it reforms.”
268Please respect copyright.PENANAkQnioZHKys
They look back at Rask and she couldn’t help but rub the back of her head.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAm4vU3AA6RG
Raskeria: “My bad.”
268Please respect copyright.PENANAYSdHZgCnvM
Jake: “Tch, it’s like fighting a machine version of me.”
268Please respect copyright.PENANAsXCw0OqLEv
Dovahkiin: “FO KRAH DIIN”
268Please respect copyright.PENANAoqzEKKM2V9
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.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAb6Lyuhcwck
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.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAhtBjcl1Mi4
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.”
268Please respect copyright.PENANAto36TYJVqf
Raskeria: “What do you mean?”
268Please respect copyright.PENANAc62tA2IMOM
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.”
268Please respect copyright.PENANAITbiaMXznF
Jake: “…Fine.”
268Please respect copyright.PENANA2SDxAFTflp
The other 2 nodded and got into position.
268Please respect copyright.PENANALMb5VRI5yu
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.
268Please respect copyright.PENANA4PNIvYf8Yc
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.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAP37gJ0EdAs
Louise 2: “You got to be kidding me.”268Please respect copyright.PENANAlSqRn6TgOQ
268Please respect copyright.PENANAg2r24B7TCN
The Ravager started firing at everything below. Raskeria created another shield around everyone to block the heavy bullet fire.
268Please respect copyright.PENANA4ZttCg3QiM
Raskeria: “Dovahkiin, this is all you. I’ll focus on protecting everyone while you distract it enough to prevent it from firing.”
268Please respect copyright.PENANAONqrv8OTKg
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.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAqW6uRVd5ea
Despite Dovah’s best efforts though, Ravager wasn’t that bothered by it’s attacks. That was until Dovah started using more unique shouts.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAgOOWUX78lz
Dovahkiin: “VEN GAAR NOS!”
268Please respect copyright.PENANAERDgoQ9r7l
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.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAaAc7BsRh4c
Louise 2: “Great, bring it down quick! I can see where the core is! Focus your attacks on its head!”
268Please respect copyright.PENANAUHZ1Y7qLO9
Raskeria: “I still need to keep the shield on Dovahkiin so I can’t attack.”
268Please respect copyright.PENANA3QCGdRNElx
Louise 2: “That’s a good thing, just focus on support.”
268Please respect copyright.PENANAvUZfpR4Mud
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.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAwkrZ2R3oyf
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.
268Please respect copyright.PENANA1cGh58sUWO
Raskeria: “Was that…magic?”
268Please respect copyright.PENANAxSXZfilXvs
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.”
268Please respect copyright.PENANAtggBvrml4j
Dova shrugged it off but still lost some ground. Jake on the other hand was on fire and falling.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAef9SlwrV75
Jake: ‘Of course, it had to use fire and lightning of all things.’
268Please respect copyright.PENANANqgoZnhF19
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.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAT2mdZ7593O
It abandoned the dragon and went to delete the living weapon. But before it could, another welcomed surprise appeared. The final and winning variable.
268Please respect copyright.PENANA1qfMTdi4qa
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.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAOK5rzvNlwQ
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.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAnoFEdYzRvi
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.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAZSML8zPx4t
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.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAsJB1hfeEzu
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.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAV31VTXdNbt
Louise 2: “I don’t know who you are but if you can understand me, keep it down while I end this.”
268Please respect copyright.PENANABjuCR9d3PP
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.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAg5kYSd9A95
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.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAU1bhTx4FjX
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.’
268Please respect copyright.PENANAq2zOs5yTWx
The distance between them became smaller.
268Please respect copyright.PENANA6jNMiZL4ed
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.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAOzEa9zeMeO
20 meters
268Please respect copyright.PENANAD8jwU9UmZd
Arcs of pink electricity started to form around her.
268Please respect copyright.PENANASoOcCCVgK7
15 meters
268Please respect copyright.PENANArJlO10kj7B
She opened her eyes; her vision was surrounded by plenty of warnings but she dismissed them.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAqIQ5gQ5FlT
10 meters
268Please respect copyright.PENANALXVbkVHgve
Louise 2: “Adapt to this!”
268Please respect copyright.PENANARmrfror8Bh
5 meters
268Please respect copyright.PENANA5nVkS2sRg8
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.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAWuIK1k8ReP
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.
268Please respect copyright.PENANA5rs7u3sXUq
The sonic boom made it into everyone’s ears. Students screamed and even the fighters had to cover their ears as the ground quaked.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAPWmxEfjzDz
The fighters aside from Jake ran up to the aftermath of the attack. Colbert also came running despite Aeterna’s warning.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAOWQMebqphw
Good news, the Ravager now sported a missing head. Bad news, behind the Ravager was a badly damaged Louise 2.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAWYyaRA5mXP
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.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAJBphZ7rxm9
Raskeria: “Okay, that looks terrible. But I can fix this.”
268Please respect copyright.PENANAnayZIyrpEa
She started to create ice to cool her down before applying healing magic. But before she could a voice stopped her.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAiPSW5rckuf
“STOP, YOU’RE GOING TO KILL HER!”
268Please respect copyright.PENANAhAcYKuV94g
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.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAKnldceF7pD
Colbert: “Stop, any closer and we’ll consider you an enemy!”
268Please respect copyright.PENANAmoXcxcmJeL
Raskeria: “I vote enemy, where was he when everything was going wrong?”
268Please respect copyright.PENANASfJ9Gvi5yW
Louise 2: “B-Bench? I-Is that…y-you?”
268Please respect copyright.PENANAIukrmPiVAh
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.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAbtVKSWmUIA
Colbert: “Miss Valliere!”
268Please respect copyright.PENANAjNxrDb4kYH
Louise 2: “Please…let Bench…come to me…professor.”
268Please respect copyright.PENANA8DtltKjRAh
Raskeria: “But what about my magic? I can heal you good as new.”
268Please respect copyright.PENANAB7Ac7eOX4x
Louise 2: “Don’t…I…d-don’t know…what effect it…will h-have.”
268Please respect copyright.PENANAAntlRNOf1H
Bench: “Listen to her, I know what to do. Trust me, she’s in good hands.”
268Please respect copyright.PENANAGsrgFJhdii
Raskeria: “…Fine. This whole thing is beyond me anyway.”
268Please respect copyright.PENANA7ZOgNutuc0
Heeding his words, Raskeria and Colbert moved out of the way. Bench approached Louise 2 and a blue line scanned her entire being.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAe8BCMuO5ff
Bench: “You’ve really done it this time Louise.”
268Please respect copyright.PENANAEh0Ql1PjzS
Louise 2: “Why does…it…matter…I destroyed…the Ravager.”
268Please respect copyright.PENANAd0AUbPkIid
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.”
268Please respect copyright.PENANAX1vH08tFH6
Raskeria: ‘You mean what I was going to do?’
268Please respect copyright.PENANADiOfPMhbuF
Louise 2: “Then would…this help?”
268Please respect copyright.PENANA2evydumDQj
She asks while letting go of a red orb that was giving a low hum.
268Please respect copyright.PENANA5GmWRXyoWy
Bench: “Is that what I think it is?”
268Please respect copyright.PENANALZSzhguPDG
Louise 2: “Y-You bet…it is.”
268Please respect copyright.PENANA2GTPTqyc2q
A blue line passed over the orb from Bench.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAWbUoX2Q7Mn
Bench: “I can’t believe it, a Ravager core.”
268Please respect copyright.PENANAwJNsOLxO8D
Raskeria: “You mean that’s what we were fighting to destroy? Why is it intact?”
268Please respect copyright.PENANAZgU1GYz5Pw
Bench: “Because this might be the only sure way to save Louise.”
268Please respect copyright.PENANALIdAmq8bF1
Raskeria: “Magic is out but the core of that monster is okay?”
268Please respect copyright.PENANA0nZoBirmE8
Dovahkiin: “I agree, destroy it.”
268Please respect copyright.PENANAsCMFffuqzI
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?”
268Please respect copyright.PENANACgkU232mRz
Raskeria: “No but I’m keeping my eye on you…and that.”
268Please respect copyright.PENANAyU6VXmgXpx
Bench: “By all means.”
268Please respect copyright.PENANAUTKsaExbcs
Louise 2: “So…can you…d-do it Bench?”
268Please respect copyright.PENANAh4prulcPNa
Bench: “Do you know who you’re talking to?
268Please respect copyright.PENANAhSZdGOlRAv
Louise 2: “That’s…good.”
268Please respect copyright.PENANAT30y7XZYCD
Louise 2 finally succumbs to her wounds and passes out. Bench looks to Colbert and gives a stern order.
268Please respect copyright.PENANA4cMoojEeZX
Bench: “Take me to where your clinic is, I have a Hunter to repair!”
268Please respect copyright.PENANAsODnzzILst
Jake: “Wait a minute!”
268Please respect copyright.PENANAqvnp1nNHxz
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.
268Please respect copyright.PENANA5fp5qF4CEB
Bench: “What are you doing?!”
268Please respect copyright.PENANAIpYBSqLqP4
Jake: “Just because I helped defeat that thing doesn’t mean we’re allies. I need answers!”
268Please respect copyright.PENANA29Ezym0BZf
Raskeria: “Calm down Jake, do you really want to fight everyone here?”
268Please respect copyright.PENANAYKdMJi5gK0
Jake: “…I’ll do what I have to.”
268Please respect copyright.PENANANMYA9jrvvC
Colbert: “W-What do you want to know?”
268Please respect copyright.PENANAAxPMhZgsXj
Bench: “We don’t have time for this! Louise will die if Colbert doesn’t show me to the clinic.”
268Please respect copyright.PENANASIUIBqOmRY
Jake: “I don’t care.”
268Please respect copyright.PENANAqfrI0Uk85X
Bench: “You-”
268Please respect copyright.PENANA6m3CriDe4g
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.
268Please respect copyright.PENANA78GdFiTNeN
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.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAiDPHzh5LUM
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.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAKwFxWfMFkO
“Can you understand me?”
268Please respect copyright.PENANAlfw2rz6por
Raskeria: ‘A translation spell? Oh, he’s good.’
268Please respect copyright.PENANATGvKEc5PvS
Colbert: “Y-Yes.”
268Please respect copyright.PENANAaOLKPaaxxA
“Wonderful, my name is Zander and I’ll take them to the clinic.”
268Please respect copyright.PENANAjtGrzHttVc
Colbert: “But how? You don’t know the way.”
268Please respect copyright.PENANAlSG8N76HHs
Zander: “I’ll ask one of the students or the staff. I’m sure they’ll help.”
268Please respect copyright.PENANAAqorCR36Gs
With a slight twist of his wrist, Louise begins to float off the ground.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAKbsrp3NODT
Zander: “Shall we go Bench?”
268Please respect copyright.PENANA4UsOiYExQv
Bench: “Yes, quickly now.”
268Please respect copyright.PENANAhBxCoC6vj5
They begin to leave but before that Zander gives a sharp glare to Jake.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAlVg7f6peL9
Zander: “I hope I don’t have to come back here and deal with you Jake. I rather we be friends than enemies.”
268Please respect copyright.PENANAwzKCm3bjKz
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.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAJibx1x7rLj
No one said a word until Zander was gone.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAmRXC9ZEaPB
Colbert: “Okay, so what do you want to know Jake.”
268Please respect copyright.PENANAOqp3H6TExH
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…”
268Please respect copyright.PENANAiPKi0DaJWQ
Jake brings his blade a bit closer to Colbert which makes everyone tense up, ready for another fight.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAODAIIn9GWl
Jake: “You will take me back to New York.”
268Please respect copyright.PENANAEcuaxEUbV3
Colbert: “I’m sorry but…there’s no way back. None that we know of.”
268Please respect copyright.PENANALCYZA7czjb
The moment those words left his mouth, he felt the urge to slice off his head.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAjgguu70Suw
No way to get back to New York meant Blackwatch ran free and the only family he has left was in danger.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAeKhVAiTgkc
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.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAqPacvynnHk
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.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAqwHh0u0N5h
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!”
268Please respect copyright.PENANAl6SyDB9Q4d
Colbert: “Sir, I’m truly sorry but there is no way to reverse this.”
268Please respect copyright.PENANAT3And8zipf
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.
268Please respect copyright.PENANATDCOPnk442
Raskeria: “There might be a way.”
268Please respect copyright.PENANAd9659Ivbuu
Everyone turned toward the girl. Jake’s eyes widened with relief but also slow-cooking anger.
268Please respect copyright.PENANA1q4sLwStUm
Jake: “Tell me.”
268Please respect copyright.PENANAxR2VS2ZvTP
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.”
268Please respect copyright.PENANAYHwKRxOafT
Jake: “Then-”
268Please respect copyright.PENANAOdsdAa8lez
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…”
268Please respect copyright.PENANAipsM24ByyJ
Jake: “Or?”
268Please respect copyright.PENANA3X6N60O8eV
Raskeria: “Learn magic and go yourself.”
268Please respect copyright.PENANAPhrXJHU6n7
Colbert: “Learn magic?”
268Please respect copyright.PENANAwOul78mlUp
Raskeria: “Yeah, it will be hard but it can be done.”
268Please respect copyright.PENANAdjs9oj3Zln
Jake: “…”
268Please respect copyright.PENANAmYNG83Mogk
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.
268Please respect copyright.PENANA4fKnkEPwD3
But still, time is of the essence. He can’t be gone for long.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAbxMxp5Lkys
Jake: “How long would it take for me to learn.”
268Please respect copyright.PENANAcosw0d46qN
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.”
268Please respect copyright.PENANAuXT8krsOuo
Jake: ‘Years!? No, I don’t have that kind of time. I’ll leave that as a backup.’
268Please respect copyright.PENANAcWiOY0kpPS
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.”
268Please respect copyright.PENANAVpOPCV4XaV
Raskeria: “Sure, sure. Right now though, I’m tired. I’m going home and telling everyone what happened. See you. ‘gate’.”
268Please respect copyright.PENANAtDd1plVAHd
A rip in reality appears behind Raskeria. She yawns and goes through which causes it to close.
268Please respect copyright.PENANASLhbciyTqb
Jake: ‘Tch, she better make good on our deal. Or I have another person on my list to kill here.’
268Please respect copyright.PENANAKC7ZCylPwQ
Jake: *Sigh*
268Please respect copyright.PENANAttohZFTt3A
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.”
268Please respect copyright.PENANAP2PDG7LNtW
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.
268Please respect copyright.PENANALptKCwt9Ae
Colbert: “Well, you’re the last one. What will you do?”
268Please respect copyright.PENANAx0UZQAZwo2
Dovahkiin: “Stay for now. Jake’s situation seemed more serious than mine so he can get the gate treatment first. Besides…”
268Please respect copyright.PENANA3OuhAPHqD8
Dovahkiin: ‘It’s not all Louise’s fault that I ended up here. Damn that dedric prince.’
268Please respect copyright.PENANAeIPpCq26Aq
Colbert: “Yes?”
268Please respect copyright.PENANAxAcQyN1cyf
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.”
268Please respect copyright.PENANAHPT8CVmNWx
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.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAxrn9145Myp
Colbert: “Brimir save us, what has Louise unleashed…”
268Please respect copyright.PENANAFaXqLHGAnt
[Louise’s Room]
268Please respect copyright.PENANAMLYbJaFyV7
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.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAyufAt1GnXn
She gently takes her to the bed and lies her down.
268Please respect copyright.PENANARQcCUpKwft
Aeterna: “Already, that power is drawing dangerous things to you.”
268Please respect copyright.PENANA62BxXHRgil
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.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAK5NgLA50NH
Aeterna: “Did she really expect me to sleep on that? I guess she was expecting an animal though.”
268Please respect copyright.PENANApxZwyadJhk
She looks down at her body and remembers that she’s still wearing lingerie.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAhS7iPIO7m8
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.”
268Please respect copyright.PENANAZsyyBGEKyl
With that thought, Aeterna leaves the room.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAo3wGE6L4JH
…
…
268Please respect copyright.PENANAaF9RrpOEkJ
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.
268Please respect copyright.PENANA4uXPzpuDFK
‘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.’
268Please respect copyright.PENANA03d409fa1H
‘Hehe, I’m getting excited. Sweet dreams Louise.’
268Please respect copyright.PENANAJmUra4R2BG
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.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAoQIcKSWh4j
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.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAa4Zf1kCA81
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.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAV9nUuGRsHZ
Among the clouds and across the forest, more rips threaten to form.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAzRPEzWEbAk
‘Let the games begin.’

268Please respect copyright.PENANALNXzbKPNQc
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.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAy6EW4fTdFN
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.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAfZWodI3ibF
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.
