Welcome, to my first fan fic. After years, I finally gave in and tried a few.
579Please respect copyright.PENANARp2iZTsagZ
Mostly crossovers.
579Please respect copyright.PENANAbafuxYQrPm
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.
579Please respect copyright.PENANAIAgVhU9qVR
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.
579Please respect copyright.PENANAuVugyzjNNV
They will be listed at the end of this one-shot.
579Please respect copyright.PENANAxIBEElROL5
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.
579Please respect copyright.PENANAUR3ioqYUUx
This is version 1 after all. If I can perfect the foundation and people like it, then I can continue.
579Please respect copyright.PENANAUM6rOhf9FZ
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.
579Please respect copyright.PENANAGVD907Gm0l
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.
579Please respect copyright.PENANAkVvSbgvDnK
With that out of the way, let’s dive into this slice of eternity in a moment.
579Please respect copyright.PENANADQiku8jBjE
579Please respect copyright.PENANA8ZyLqazy5Z
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.
579Please respect copyright.PENANAnZfX2pr88E
Aside from that though, they were also anxious. Anxious about what kind of familiar they would get.
579Please respect copyright.PENANAJlbKROaPvi
A summoned familiar mirrors their master’s personality and elemental affinity. Who knows what hidden secrets their familiars may accidentally reveal to everyone?
579Please respect copyright.PENANAJT58vs6nWi
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.
579Please respect copyright.PENANAELiDFrILCq
Yes, all of them have tried and succeeded in summoning a familiar.
579Please respect copyright.PENANAkJzqfVf5wp
Well, all but one.
579Please respect copyright.PENANABQ2Lsh6WQP
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.
579Please respect copyright.PENANAK0bJjRL2se
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.
579Please respect copyright.PENANAZ1TvHRryGg
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.
579Please respect copyright.PENANAQkexxBxj0q
Colbert: “All right then, has everyone had their turn?”
579Please respect copyright.PENANAnSsAy3Bppk
But the one to fully shatter her hopes was her bully and rival, Kirche von Zerbst. The busty chocolate beauty.
579Please respect copyright.PENANAY452SihHui
Kirche: “No, not quite. Ms. Valliere hasn’t done it.”
579Please respect copyright.PENANAow07Yp6Mu3
Louise: ‘Brimir, darn you Kirche.’
579Please respect copyright.PENANAkorCt55gfD
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.
579Please respect copyright.PENANA6sGn6iaNRS
Maybe then, she’ll be respected and can finally deliver some good news to her family.
579Please respect copyright.PENANAFMLul9uK5C
She goes to the summoning area and prepares to-
579Please respect copyright.PENANAEu0i6XKGUN
“Louise the zero.”
579Please respect copyright.PENANAOcLCzHUWKl
“What do you suppose she’ll summon”
579Please respect copyright.PENANAzEVpINb9RU
“There’s no way she can summon anything. We’ll just have another explosion and nothing else.”
579Please respect copyright.PENANAdtegNwqhZi
Kirche: “With all your boasting, you should be able to summon up something more amazing than this. Right, Louise?”
579Please respect copyright.PENANAssAd45vSuK
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.
579Please respect copyright.PENANA5b26wMXKOA
Louise: “Well of course!”
579Please respect copyright.PENANAA6q70kcgZH
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.
579Please respect copyright.PENANAEHWtnZ7MZs
She didn’t know it then but, someone was listening to her prayers.
579Please respect copyright.PENANAn2B4rYrI4u
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!”
579Please respect copyright.PENANAehQZ65gvTY
“And so the die is cast.”
579Please respect copyright.PENANAd65uFlZv4l
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.
579Please respect copyright.PENANAvaLPIzevQq
…
…
579Please respect copyright.PENANA34HHPzvKOn
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.
579Please respect copyright.PENANALfJJbLPzif
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.
579Please respect copyright.PENANANJfGbVWYai
The students quickly collected themselves and began their favorite pass time.
579Please respect copyright.PENANADuM0RyvSO2
“Hah, I knew it! Once a Zero always a Zero.”
579Please respect copyright.PENANAm31lLgPCmY
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.
579Please respect copyright.PENANAJbM3Qnak0i
The one most scared was Slyphid, the medium-sized blue dragon summoned by the petite blue-haired Tabitha.
579Please respect copyright.PENANAHTnKg4oPKr
Tabitha: “What?”
579Please respect copyright.PENANALD1t6gIm8u
Her question brought Slyphid’s head around to look her in the eyes. With their intimate bond, Slyphid was able to respond telepathically.
579Please respect copyright.PENANAuU043D3eWx
Slyphid: ‘I smell her! I’m Frightened! But…there’s…more than just her…a…Predator.’
579Please respect copyright.PENANAe1JcCiEiQE
The panicked voice in her head startled Tabitha. For a rhyme dragon of all things to be frightened…
579Please respect copyright.PENANA2AhsT3xUSp
Tabitha: “What do you…mean?”
579Please respect copyright.PENANAvGLKMc47mL
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.
579Please respect copyright.PENANAUZl66qZ1iP
Louise: ‘Wait!? Shadows?’
579Please respect copyright.PENANAzAhOgxPW7S
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.
579Please respect copyright.PENANA4hrK2d45jM
When the smoke cleared, something completely unexpected awaited everyone. Not only did Louise summon a human but she summoned multiple familiars.
579Please respect copyright.PENANAhANNzXRbg4
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.
579Please respect copyright.PENANAPfFVGZBCaN
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.
579Please respect copyright.PENANAkMQy1KoSfR
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.
579Please respect copyright.PENANAYiTtHrsovh
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.
579Please respect copyright.PENANAfsv4PuEyAs
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.
579Please respect copyright.PENANAWRCIKwCjCP
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.
579Please respect copyright.PENANAN0YB7ARlMv
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.
579Please respect copyright.PENANA9iNW1W0Vhl
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.
579Please respect copyright.PENANAf7sSdaNrdx
As for Louise, she just couldn’t look away. Especially after what happened next.
579Please respect copyright.PENANAqIFhNEEWNL
“Kolo Zu’u, druv los tinvaak dovahzul?”
579Please respect copyright.PENANADMYxZI8JIh
…
…579Please respect copyright.PENANAycRV5Zynf6
579Please respect copyright.PENANA2uJDPjKcVc
Kirche: “Did that dragon just…speak?”
579Please respect copyright.PENANA1uZpYsFw13
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.
579Please respect copyright.PENANAP6BroGls7b
After a few moments of conversation and looking around, they stopped and looked at Louise.
579Please respect copyright.PENANADGcg8NJgn3
“Okay, who summoned us?”
579Please respect copyright.PENANA2b6ce7EIZG
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.
579Please respect copyright.PENANAahbPBlW8TK
Louise: “I-I did. My name is Louise Francoise Le Blanc de La Valliere.”579Please respect copyright.PENANA5BupxnPHGO
579Please respect copyright.PENANAwOp9I8QEFU
“Well hi Louise, my name is Raskreia or Rask for short. This dragon is named Dovahkiin, strange name I know.”
579Please respect copyright.PENANA6YDUyzKcgF
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.
579Please respect copyright.PENANArdiHZ2MHFY
579Please respect copyright.PENANAz9x2aJV3mG
Raskreia: “Now, I have questions but first I think we should help the kid.”
579Please respect copyright.PENANAWYDB70yI4K
579Please respect copyright.PENANAJbHhCgGFeK
Colbert finally escaped his shock and agreed. He asks some students to carry the boy to the infirmary.
579Please respect copyright.PENANAcIF3jMZSqx
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.
579Please respect copyright.PENANAZ8AbM4YKaK
Colbert: ‘Who knows what could’ve happened if we delayed any further.’
579Please respect copyright.PENANAzi02jPLMmp
“Ugh, what, is with the racket.”
579Please respect copyright.PENANAjfPm8Zdlxh
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.
579Please respect copyright.PENANANaGMA47ohf
“I slept in an inn in my underwear, and I wake up in a summoning circle in them. Ugh, what even?”
579Please respect copyright.PENANAiCIddYEFXr
Raskreia: “Well, looks who’s awake.”
579Please respect copyright.PENANAZvPOscgelX
She sighs.579Please respect copyright.PENANAbZhG091OwB
579Please respect copyright.PENANAzzS4R8t2kv
“And I am surrounded by children and a strange dragon.”
579Please respect copyright.PENANAy0BU8y1ZDx
Colbert: “Since everyone is awake, not including the injured, we should proceed with the bonding ritual.”579Please respect copyright.PENANAkjzM4bQIlx
579Please respect copyright.PENANAM0GBnPMKvH
Raskreia: “Sure, if you’re going to explain to us what in the nine hells is going on here exactly and where we are?”579Please respect copyright.PENANAjxXjtpyd23
579Please respect copyright.PENANAn3Tx4ekPnB
At this, Louise answers before the man could.579Please respect copyright.PENANAHawIpjqLsb
579Please respect copyright.PENANAKE2eBXBdr2
Louise: “You’re here because I summoned you all to be my familiar with the summon servant spell, and I am your master now.”
579Please respect copyright.PENANA4abx7wGAQQ
Rask rolls her eyes while the other 2 had more animated responses.579Please respect copyright.PENANAN4pblleQ8q
579Please respect copyright.PENANAjdJHtYP2Qv
“Whoa, back the fuck up. Why should I be your familiar?”579Please respect copyright.PENANAhVfxeAQpeh
579Please respect copyright.PENANAPQVVQgQ2sP
Dovahkiin: “What do you mean by bonding?”579Please respect copyright.PENANALL099BEZhH
579Please respect copyright.PENANA8r3x5fuI85
Everyone except Rask blinked. That was in Tristainian.579Please respect copyright.PENANAg1bZvdvEr0
579Please respect copyright.PENANAamfqCHjaOJ
Dovahkiin: “Oh, so now my voice returns.”
579Please respect copyright.PENANAyXwMcxw7XQ
Colbert: “You can speak our language?”
579Please respect copyright.PENANAtT6429qxgs
Dovahkiin: “I can speak this language, but before I was…confused and spoke in native Dovahzul.”
579Please respect copyright.PENANAvlpByw4VHV
Raskreia: “Really? I guess I don’t need this anymore then.”
579Please respect copyright.PENANA9kbGAPBJaf
Rask puts the ring back in her bag.
579Please respect copyright.PENANATtBVGAI2lC
Colbert: “Dovahzul, I haven’t heard of that language.”
579Please respect copyright.PENANAby8kQu4RU2
“Neither have I, strange.”
579Please respect copyright.PENANA2oiChP4qvD
Dovahkiin: “Enough of this, what do you mean by bonding?”
579Please respect copyright.PENANABpn2VYTi8b
Despite the group before her, Louise bravely stepped forward again.
579Please respect copyright.PENANAEaM6gJW2dC
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.”
579Please respect copyright.PENANAFxDBuSgZ1C
The reactions from all summoned present varied but none good.579Please respect copyright.PENANAFZBtc4wBdv
579Please respect copyright.PENANAOaFAjILDc1
Raskreia: “I’m fine with getting summoned but getting branded like some animal, no thanks.”579Please respect copyright.PENANAVhn2vUbVhx
579Please respect copyright.PENANAU0gapVU8iY
Louise’s mood quickly deteriorates but there’s still hope she thought. She summoned more than one, surely one would agree.
579Please respect copyright.PENANAFRORlBPpMd
But that thought quickly faded away when the dragon growled. It drew itself up by stretching its wings down and glared at Louise.
579Please respect copyright.PENANA4CHdBDz2z9
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?”
579Please respect copyright.PENANA68bxySOLFx
Raskreia: ‘Oh no, they made the dragon mad. That’s never a good idea. No matter the plane.’
579Please respect copyright.PENANAgNjckgfZdW
Colbert stepped in as Louise faltered and took several steps back.
579Please respect copyright.PENANAke9VQarH53
Colbert: “It’s how the holy ritual has been performed for hundreds of years.”
579Please respect copyright.PENANAOEGEVkbaaW
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.”
579Please respect copyright.PENANAQfsVPdLifK
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.
579Please respect copyright.PENANAUMwwDAGrJj
Dovahkiin: “I for one refuse to become anyone’s slave. I simply want to return to the life I lived before this all occurred.”
579Please respect copyright.PENANADevxtgeEKY
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.”
579Please respect copyright.PENANAbjLblMxLLj
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.’579Please respect copyright.PENANANjx2G8BOVd
579Please respect copyright.PENANAfToRGFZ7P7
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.
579Please respect copyright.PENANAgpnGOQH4ui
She grips her wand tightly, wishing this was all a dream. Unbeknownst to her, there was one that considered her offer.
579Please respect copyright.PENANAGrMKVtYI82
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.
579Please respect copyright.PENANATTcnuG7dcw
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.
579Please respect copyright.PENANA0eyB5mRHGd
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.579Please respect copyright.PENANAA48ap0tJb6
579Please respect copyright.PENANA6W0R62CX6O
She knew intimately what happens in situations like that. Despite her previous obligations, the redhead made her choice.579Please respect copyright.PENANAfNLD5qZXsd
579Please respect copyright.PENANAWoPdBUKpy2
“If a familiar is what you seek, then you shall have one. I agree to be yours.”
579Please respect copyright.PENANA2DsTTvwOm1
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.
579Please respect copyright.PENANAGgLiDHItMd
Dovahkiin: “You!? You would subject yourself as a slave to a child? Where is your pride as a Dovah?”
579Please respect copyright.PENANA6BcsFftzQX
“Dovah? I see, that's your word for it. So you can tell?”
579Please respect copyright.PENANAO8uE144oOv
Dovahkiin: *Nod*
579Please respect copyright.PENANACR80CgnI70
“I have my own reasons.”
579Please respect copyright.PENANAPAOWijkU74
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.
579Please respect copyright.PENANAnU4lLnWBVa
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?
579Please respect copyright.PENANA2npXRSiVnN
Raskreia: “Well I won’t judge you. It’s your choice.”
579Please respect copyright.PENANAvpuAoodqRY
Louise reapplies her rule of steel mask and starts towards the redhead. She let out an indignant, resigned huff as she raised her wand.
579Please respect copyright.PENANA7hLVWX7zBI
Louise: “Consider yourself fortunate, commoner. Normally, you’d never in your life have a noble do this to you.”
579Please respect copyright.PENANATknCG6CjvF
Louise: “My name is Louise Francoise Le Blanc de La Valliere. Oh, pentagon that rules the five elements, bless this individual and-”
579Please respect copyright.PENANAaapWUv2WnX
579Please respect copyright.PENANAcvUVPgsqqO
‘Did you think this was it?’
579Please respect copyright.PENANAWDVHhjSbr7
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.
579Please respect copyright.PENANARmxvGOOBCQ
“Louise!?”
579Please respect copyright.PENANAQ6FTup9cPg
Everyone, including the dragon, looks at Louise with concern. Before anyone could go to her and see what’s wrong, something else extraordinary happens.
579Please respect copyright.PENANAw0gWmCn9dB
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.
579Please respect copyright.PENANAYC0yJ4yogD
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.
579Please respect copyright.PENANA9dNaYcjhek
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.
579Please respect copyright.PENANAZ0Dn1UbVSb
Raskeria: “The hell was that?”
579Please respect copyright.PENANA6dJkBwTVZa
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.
579Please respect copyright.PENANAjP53ueGqH1
Colbert: “A golem?”
579Please respect copyright.PENANA3MeCbscm4y
Dovahkiin: “No, something more.”
579Please respect copyright.PENANA0bAa2tOR4H
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.
579Please respect copyright.PENANAXn8LEqN5gl
Guiche: “Unhand me this instant!”
579Please respect copyright.PENANAxrFYp016Lh
It didn’t respond instead it brought its other arm up and balled it into a fist.
579Please respect copyright.PENANADrsKwn1CoP
Guiche: “You would dare hit a noble!? I tell you, my father is a gener-”
579Please respect copyright.PENANATSa8TyI0N0
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.
579Please respect copyright.PENANAsCQTJhGRsn
Colbert: “Mister Grammont!”
579Please respect copyright.PENANAOdt4nh5rGX
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.
579Please respect copyright.PENANAcUZ8nnulJ5
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.
579Please respect copyright.PENANAQEmX7RVAoS
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.
579Please respect copyright.PENANAUNL6tC174t
Guiche: “L-Louise?”579Please respect copyright.PENANAmnjkzDp0K3
579Please respect copyright.PENANA2Y1kzXlJ1B
Colbert: “But how?”
579Please respect copyright.PENANAeqYlNqc9pO
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.
579Please respect copyright.PENANArqN6ARMaB6
Raskeria: “Can this day get any crazier?”
579Please respect copyright.PENANA7DZ3JoLkUt
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.
579Please respect copyright.PENANARY95SmCV2h
Guiche: “How dare-”
579Please respect copyright.PENANAkegjssCRvw
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.
579Please respect copyright.PENANAPZGApqsJ2n
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.
579Please respect copyright.PENANAlZRUrJndsH
Regardless, Dova took the golem and threw it across the field away from the students.
579Please respect copyright.PENANAM2pIMZygr1
While this was happening, the redhead took Louise to a safe distance. She could help but she wanted to keep Louise safe for now.
579Please respect copyright.PENANA2iPyN1XdM1
Raskeria: “That has to be among the strongest golems I’ve ever seen.”
579Please respect copyright.PENANA6DBHq4VCaU
Dovahkiin: “It’s like a Dwemer automation but more…advanced somehow.”
579Please respect copyright.PENANAE0L17k3rlW
Louise?: “I don’t remember you two when I left. Who are you two?”

Raskeria: “Talk later, fight now!”
579Please respect copyright.PENANAgB6R9nTWPs
Dovahkiin: “YOL TOOR SHUL!”
579Please respect copyright.PENANAwvXWsEcq9R
The dragon breathes intense heat at the golem while Raskeria casts a strange spell that also shoots bolts of fire.
579Please respect copyright.PENANAEMjNADlWcD
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.
579Please respect copyright.PENANAM1qAnZr5WF
Raskeria: “Okay, that thing is too dangerous. Disintegrate.”
579Please respect copyright.PENANA7lx5wwX2Km
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.
579Please respect copyright.PENANA28CzKyH8je
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.
579Please respect copyright.PENANAvG3J15p8VG
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.
579Please respect copyright.PENANAa1VzVGJR4b
This proved to be the right choice when the sound of lightning cracked from the cloud of dust.
579Please respect copyright.PENANATmjmSngbNd
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.
579Please respect copyright.PENANAzM8OyVCjUd
Raskeria: “Another one!? To think, I was just hanging out with friends and now I have to fight for my life.”
579Please respect copyright.PENANAlTQ5qMV54q
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.
579Please respect copyright.PENANAr5zWG7kIAh
Eventually, the sound of clicking reached her ears. She disassembled her shield and placed her hands behind her with her palms open.
579Please respect copyright.PENANATRqOhzR44I
Louise 2: ‘Here’s my chanc-”
579Please respect copyright.PENANAdskHdJlewt
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.
579Please respect copyright.PENANA92JvRXEnHG
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.
579Please respect copyright.PENANATz7JWZAh7j
Raskeria: “Did Louise summon another one? I can’t deny it, that’s impressive.”
579Please respect copyright.PENANA3ysxbby9di
Louise 2: “Friend or foe?”
579Please respect copyright.PENANAG4QphG4Tda
Jake: “Depends on what happens next. The name’s Jake Logan Anderson, Jake will do.”
579Please respect copyright.PENANAJQMRLIYFGL
Dovahkiin: “FUS RO DAH”
579Please respect copyright.PENANAlHqT8adnEJ
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.
579Please respect copyright.PENANAqhhrQdXEZr
Dovahkiin: ‘I need to get used to this body and fast. I hope that was the last of them.’
579Please respect copyright.PENANApsez5pTMFk
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.
579Please respect copyright.PENANAXD9LnRAXOo
Louise 2: “Mr. Colbert!”
579Please respect copyright.PENANAp60833obSp
This seemed to jog the man from his shock.
579Please respect copyright.PENANADB3t5KKDLz
Colbert: “Um yes, what do you need Ms….you are Valliere right?”
579Please respect copyright.PENANAwllxlJoKbu
Louise 2: “Yes. Evacuate everyone from this place right now.”
579Please respect copyright.PENANAC1hUyNLAfZ
Raskeria: “Why? Isn’t it over?”
579Please respect copyright.PENANA5JBdVkF0WZ
Jake: “No, it’s never that easy.”
579Please respect copyright.PENANAoOcOoOX2pR
Louise 2: “He’s right, this courtyard isn’t safe anymore.”
579Please respect copyright.PENANA8v46T5xPDL
The doppelganger looked at the strangers she fought with.
579Please respect copyright.PENANACrw9sZXybF
Louise 2: “Can trust one of you to help Colbert protect everyone.”
579Please respect copyright.PENANAJgRANmgTdp
Before any of them could answer, the red-head answered.
579Please respect copyright.PENANA4MuGCpDg8N
“I’ll protect him along with…you I guess.”
579Please respect copyright.PENANA5c3yTRU6va
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.
579Please respect copyright.PENANARhNc82gjkM
Louise 2: “And who are you?”
579Please respect copyright.PENANApNzxMGJujI
“My name is Aeterna Flamma, your familiar.”
579Please respect copyright.PENANAw8kgthBKq0
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.
579Please respect copyright.PENANAncd1scHzEQ
Dovahkiin: “Trust her, she is stronger than she looks.”
579Please respect copyright.PENANAJ5IwqIKMLh
Louise: 2: “…Fine. I won’t argue with a dragon. Especially not now.”
579Please respect copyright.PENANALndL3yCEa4
Aeterna: “Good, come on everyone.”
579Please respect copyright.PENANA6PTWjyiD6u
Colbert: “Y-You heard them, we can’t stay here any-”
579Please respect copyright.PENANA1DVmqXQavr
Suddenly, the sound of something rattling made itself known throughout the courtyard. Louise 2 clicked her tongue.
579Please respect copyright.PENANAEqkHEXrtnt
Louise 2: “Go, NOW!”
579Please respect copyright.PENANAqJ8kri0YdP
They followed her order, many out of fear of the sight before them. The 3 golems slowly but surely collapsed into strange black sand.
579Please respect copyright.PENANAzGZSrj7W92
Jake: “What the fuck?! Are these truly machines?”
579Please respect copyright.PENANA8l7wK9PRfH
Raskeria: “I’m starting to question that too.”
579Please respect copyright.PENANAaAOb805YVt
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.
579Please respect copyright.PENANAsJzScx7xgN
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.
579Please respect copyright.PENANALqiq6Z2Q4V
The arms were next. The left was a massive blade and the right was a massive claw hand.
579Please respect copyright.PENANAHcbBxv8hFu
Finally, the head was bulky enough to discourage any beheading. But the most important part was the lines connecting to the chest area.
579Please respect copyright.PENANA89lq9W89DB
Louise 2: ‘That’s its weak point.’
579Please respect copyright.PENANAKQWcs39ZQq
Its eyes finally light up and lock onto the fighters.
579Please respect copyright.PENANAAssplsQGLT
Louise 2: “Just my luck, a Ravager.”
579Please respect copyright.PENANABNADuSOdSM
Raskeria: “A what?”
579Please respect copyright.PENANArtB4bbo3WD
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.
579Please respect copyright.PENANAWIoBUU6EwR
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.
579Please respect copyright.PENANAFtkuTsVNAc
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.
579Please respect copyright.PENANA7dyXCW9Rti
Louise 2: “Go!”
579Please respect copyright.PENANAnCtgRWHFkH
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.
579Please respect copyright.PENANAMniXzZTrVP
Raskeria aided the group with various spells, mostly fire and stuff like ‘Create Pit’.
579Please respect copyright.PENANA1ZHrnt0DFv
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.
579Please respect copyright.PENANAltqfYSwjKm
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.
579Please respect copyright.PENANA5WOJgLAwkA
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.
579Please respect copyright.PENANAq2CYfa9jI5
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.
579Please respect copyright.PENANAaINO83BB5i
Raskeria: “Yeah, stay right there. Disintegrate.”
579Please respect copyright.PENANApGPSb9O5xU
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.
579Please respect copyright.PENANADPIghLH9ph
Louise 2: “That won’t be enough! We need to destroy its core.”
579Please respect copyright.PENANApwlqUo51Du
Jake: “Where is it then!?”
579Please respect copyright.PENANAvjsyd7oP3k
Louise 2: “It was in its chest but who knows where it will be when it reforms.”
579Please respect copyright.PENANAuEC8UqOqX9
They look back at Rask and she couldn’t help but rub the back of her head.
579Please respect copyright.PENANAQFTo0xcWWW
Raskeria: “My bad.”
579Please respect copyright.PENANAbaDSg60RYL
Jake: “Tch, it’s like fighting a machine version of me.”
579Please respect copyright.PENANAyrCCilUTyG
Dovahkiin: “FO KRAH DIIN”
579Please respect copyright.PENANAPVbzY7zCfI
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.
579Please respect copyright.PENANAIOfNownjHi
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.
579Please respect copyright.PENANAjAujpMS9jA
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.”
579Please respect copyright.PENANA5D7zxdou2G
Raskeria: “What do you mean?”
579Please respect copyright.PENANAogH4W6lYnH
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.”
579Please respect copyright.PENANA7P7kyOJvYZ
Jake: “…Fine.”
579Please respect copyright.PENANA6FviBiwJcq
The other 2 nodded and got into position.
579Please respect copyright.PENANAnzTigQ1IVP
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.
579Please respect copyright.PENANA58eXNUyWy0
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.
579Please respect copyright.PENANAqb5Kz7g5Bl
Louise 2: “You got to be kidding me.”579Please respect copyright.PENANAI7M6fYl1Uf
579Please respect copyright.PENANAftwkfu7vDr
The Ravager started firing at everything below. Raskeria created another shield around everyone to block the heavy bullet fire.
579Please respect copyright.PENANAOB0brD8Ye0
Raskeria: “Dovahkiin, this is all you. I’ll focus on protecting everyone while you distract it enough to prevent it from firing.”
579Please respect copyright.PENANAygVIBZzqi7
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.
579Please respect copyright.PENANAKsN3IC5tDK
Despite Dovah’s best efforts though, Ravager wasn’t that bothered by it’s attacks. That was until Dovah started using more unique shouts.
579Please respect copyright.PENANAryphmESnOK
Dovahkiin: “VEN GAAR NOS!”
579Please respect copyright.PENANA0YoXhs3rHW
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.
579Please respect copyright.PENANAjDN0yUBkDB
Louise 2: “Great, bring it down quick! I can see where the core is! Focus your attacks on its head!”
579Please respect copyright.PENANAJklWPwtCrB
Raskeria: “I still need to keep the shield on Dovahkiin so I can’t attack.”
579Please respect copyright.PENANAiDMLuReQ8t
Louise 2: “That’s a good thing, just focus on support.”
579Please respect copyright.PENANAtJxWwfCcTo
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.
579Please respect copyright.PENANACPuuISiCdt
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.
579Please respect copyright.PENANAAEKVeSjsYr
Raskeria: “Was that…magic?”
579Please respect copyright.PENANAbdIHLOoxpb
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.”
579Please respect copyright.PENANAWJOAy5ith7
Dova shrugged it off but still lost some ground. Jake on the other hand was on fire and falling.
579Please respect copyright.PENANAvWwfQVKcoS
Jake: ‘Of course, it had to use fire and lightning of all things.’
579Please respect copyright.PENANA6alp0CtrwH
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.
579Please respect copyright.PENANAJdNjeHN1Lc
It abandoned the dragon and went to delete the living weapon. But before it could, another welcomed surprise appeared. The final and winning variable.
579Please respect copyright.PENANACwOpMlPZU0
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.
579Please respect copyright.PENANAg5UL9lIRnS
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.
579Please respect copyright.PENANAcwnHhoQY9W
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.
579Please respect copyright.PENANAjjfGUsrGUt
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.
579Please respect copyright.PENANATrZKzCN1vH
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.
579Please respect copyright.PENANAidZUJpe0Xk
Louise 2: “I don’t know who you are but if you can understand me, keep it down while I end this.”
579Please respect copyright.PENANAEBLM8bnuuX
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.
579Please respect copyright.PENANANSWFL0vsuO
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.
579Please respect copyright.PENANA78vjraX642
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.’
579Please respect copyright.PENANAztdFs2uZon
The distance between them became smaller.
579Please respect copyright.PENANAazmCjWWgz0
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.
579Please respect copyright.PENANAP2mOZC6cjz
20 meters
579Please respect copyright.PENANAlvvXTWdMZP
Arcs of pink electricity started to form around her.
579Please respect copyright.PENANAakLmYkaSXM
15 meters
579Please respect copyright.PENANA2dRdON9KPy
She opened her eyes; her vision was surrounded by plenty of warnings but she dismissed them.
579Please respect copyright.PENANABa9Wk7hFuO
10 meters
579Please respect copyright.PENANAZbsZT54TtA
Louise 2: “Adapt to this!”
579Please respect copyright.PENANAeZivsLz56i
5 meters
579Please respect copyright.PENANAYVlBCBQChH
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.
579Please respect copyright.PENANAC3zmBLRKK4
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.
579Please respect copyright.PENANAZ6tiOksqZh
The sonic boom made it into everyone’s ears. Students screamed and even the fighters had to cover their ears as the ground quaked.
579Please respect copyright.PENANApVId0NXJe4
The fighters aside from Jake ran up to the aftermath of the attack. Colbert also came running despite Aeterna’s warning.
579Please respect copyright.PENANAYr6rQbCaA2
Good news, the Ravager now sported a missing head. Bad news, behind the Ravager was a badly damaged Louise 2.
579Please respect copyright.PENANAXpCrfHTb6o
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.
579Please respect copyright.PENANA4l7ZAUMY9g
Raskeria: “Okay, that looks terrible. But I can fix this.”
579Please respect copyright.PENANAGBFVXeCqWi
She started to create ice to cool her down before applying healing magic. But before she could a voice stopped her.
579Please respect copyright.PENANAuTCww1OLyz
“STOP, YOU’RE GOING TO KILL HER!”
579Please respect copyright.PENANAQMItfuFeyN
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.
579Please respect copyright.PENANAr2LA15ifCP
Colbert: “Stop, any closer and we’ll consider you an enemy!”
579Please respect copyright.PENANAg6Nr3Czjm4
Raskeria: “I vote enemy, where was he when everything was going wrong?”
579Please respect copyright.PENANA6cNGXIhQBI
Louise 2: “B-Bench? I-Is that…y-you?”
579Please respect copyright.PENANATIu3X8q7ka
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.
579Please respect copyright.PENANAIltHlbBoBA
Colbert: “Miss Valliere!”
579Please respect copyright.PENANAdwNrJGazDZ
Louise 2: “Please…let Bench…come to me…professor.”
579Please respect copyright.PENANAWj9uV3Aa1A
Raskeria: “But what about my magic? I can heal you good as new.”
579Please respect copyright.PENANAvYexz5B9Ng
Louise 2: “Don’t…I…d-don’t know…what effect it…will h-have.”
579Please respect copyright.PENANAX1C9VOo02J
Bench: “Listen to her, I know what to do. Trust me, she’s in good hands.”
579Please respect copyright.PENANAqXToeL6R62
Raskeria: “…Fine. This whole thing is beyond me anyway.”
579Please respect copyright.PENANAk6AWhNZYvn
Heeding his words, Raskeria and Colbert moved out of the way. Bench approached Louise 2 and a blue line scanned her entire being.
579Please respect copyright.PENANAkiZxtrPUPb
Bench: “You’ve really done it this time Louise.”
579Please respect copyright.PENANAJmKs0rZn9V
Louise 2: “Why does…it…matter…I destroyed…the Ravager.”
579Please respect copyright.PENANAdYVVLvkED2
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.”
579Please respect copyright.PENANAqnxyNj9KCj
Raskeria: ‘You mean what I was going to do?’
579Please respect copyright.PENANALOpHvv5j7M
Louise 2: “Then would…this help?”
579Please respect copyright.PENANAjvIcv0CtOu
She asks while letting go of a red orb that was giving a low hum.
579Please respect copyright.PENANAyhaBlf6ySo
Bench: “Is that what I think it is?”
579Please respect copyright.PENANAVjMlBk7B3J
Louise 2: “Y-You bet…it is.”
579Please respect copyright.PENANAbGJlRiMEST
A blue line passed over the orb from Bench.
579Please respect copyright.PENANAwN7GQMh4yD
Bench: “I can’t believe it, a Ravager core.”
579Please respect copyright.PENANADlfuxD4xCn
Raskeria: “You mean that’s what we were fighting to destroy? Why is it intact?”
579Please respect copyright.PENANADsT1aYN1aF
Bench: “Because this might be the only sure way to save Louise.”
579Please respect copyright.PENANANVL9eOHjAV
Raskeria: “Magic is out but the core of that monster is okay?”
579Please respect copyright.PENANAdU3t9lrsce
Dovahkiin: “I agree, destroy it.”
579Please respect copyright.PENANAGFrpVgntsk
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?”
579Please respect copyright.PENANAsII2gzMXzm
Raskeria: “No but I’m keeping my eye on you…and that.”
579Please respect copyright.PENANAQzA3q5GtcX
Bench: “By all means.”
579Please respect copyright.PENANAMbTctfFsJf
Louise 2: “So…can you…d-do it Bench?”
579Please respect copyright.PENANAJ6TxSax0t3
Bench: “Do you know who you’re talking to?
579Please respect copyright.PENANAdKYWL1ZNqC
Louise 2: “That’s…good.”
579Please respect copyright.PENANARPDqj14M9V
Louise 2 finally succumbs to her wounds and passes out. Bench looks to Colbert and gives a stern order.
579Please respect copyright.PENANAJaGFNcawNn
Bench: “Take me to where your clinic is, I have a Hunter to repair!”
579Please respect copyright.PENANAJluCGeFHnj
Jake: “Wait a minute!”
579Please respect copyright.PENANAqkdHif6rYf
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.
579Please respect copyright.PENANAFmrd44aFBv
Bench: “What are you doing?!”
579Please respect copyright.PENANA4RROSlxA0h
Jake: “Just because I helped defeat that thing doesn’t mean we’re allies. I need answers!”
579Please respect copyright.PENANADAUCa25Zir
Raskeria: “Calm down Jake, do you really want to fight everyone here?”
579Please respect copyright.PENANA6rRTYEYgbU
Jake: “…I’ll do what I have to.”
579Please respect copyright.PENANAsBUp3mTjQR
Colbert: “W-What do you want to know?”
579Please respect copyright.PENANAeKa16eWaIx
Bench: “We don’t have time for this! Louise will die if Colbert doesn’t show me to the clinic.”
579Please respect copyright.PENANAXTHthaNzj9
Jake: “I don’t care.”
579Please respect copyright.PENANAFJZ0MnH9sM
Bench: “You-”
579Please respect copyright.PENANAB1HKB29Qay
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.
579Please respect copyright.PENANAqS4Cbj3fOt
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.
579Please respect copyright.PENANAW3cU6tRGEc
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.
579Please respect copyright.PENANAUAe1aEoAg7
“Can you understand me?”
579Please respect copyright.PENANAk8eHZowfPf
Raskeria: ‘A translation spell? Oh, he’s good.’
579Please respect copyright.PENANA0W1vhrYoQE
Colbert: “Y-Yes.”
579Please respect copyright.PENANAsj9VcA6BTj
“Wonderful, my name is Zander and I’ll take them to the clinic.”
579Please respect copyright.PENANAYwD0chGxKd
Colbert: “But how? You don’t know the way.”
579Please respect copyright.PENANA6YH6UBmHlj
Zander: “I’ll ask one of the students or the staff. I’m sure they’ll help.”
579Please respect copyright.PENANAJWCMx74n33
With a slight twist of his wrist, Louise begins to float off the ground.
579Please respect copyright.PENANAzGR1kRS9fo
Zander: “Shall we go Bench?”
579Please respect copyright.PENANAiQ0YoqywmK
Bench: “Yes, quickly now.”
579Please respect copyright.PENANAqYfbJY3lN0
They begin to leave but before that Zander gives a sharp glare to Jake.
579Please respect copyright.PENANA86IIOM4mq4
Zander: “I hope I don’t have to come back here and deal with you Jake. I rather we be friends than enemies.”
579Please respect copyright.PENANA1NYWSBmxEZ
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.
579Please respect copyright.PENANA1aNHBXbHxa
No one said a word until Zander was gone.
579Please respect copyright.PENANAN0uHsCzH3k
Colbert: “Okay, so what do you want to know Jake.”
579Please respect copyright.PENANAaUdxEcFHh7
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…”
579Please respect copyright.PENANAUaoI8qV6gh
Jake brings his blade a bit closer to Colbert which makes everyone tense up, ready for another fight.
579Please respect copyright.PENANAg96SusAi5T
Jake: “You will take me back to New York.”
579Please respect copyright.PENANAUKBpWsQ7qC
Colbert: “I’m sorry but…there’s no way back. None that we know of.”
579Please respect copyright.PENANAMgblu7w7gC
The moment those words left his mouth, he felt the urge to slice off his head.
579Please respect copyright.PENANAf24n6iUu41
No way to get back to New York meant Blackwatch ran free and the only family he has left was in danger.
579Please respect copyright.PENANAcB9P61Al85
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.
579Please respect copyright.PENANAguDoABlVbM
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.
579Please respect copyright.PENANAGVRNmamE6x
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!”
579Please respect copyright.PENANAtSOzC1JD8x
Colbert: “Sir, I’m truly sorry but there is no way to reverse this.”
579Please respect copyright.PENANAQNSiKmZenQ
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.
579Please respect copyright.PENANA941VFlBdEt
Raskeria: “There might be a way.”
579Please respect copyright.PENANAML60s4pFG6
Everyone turned toward the girl. Jake’s eyes widened with relief but also slow-cooking anger.
579Please respect copyright.PENANASBimTKAraK
Jake: “Tell me.”
579Please respect copyright.PENANAdOkp0cBBlS
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.”
579Please respect copyright.PENANAuSBtNNYBlN
Jake: “Then-”
579Please respect copyright.PENANAihENqdKRBP
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…”
579Please respect copyright.PENANAOU1Xl3L2ZF
Jake: “Or?”
579Please respect copyright.PENANAGi0aHH6zej
Raskeria: “Learn magic and go yourself.”
579Please respect copyright.PENANAbzS8JqVRue
Colbert: “Learn magic?”
579Please respect copyright.PENANAKUOL4BMM4e
Raskeria: “Yeah, it will be hard but it can be done.”
579Please respect copyright.PENANA007a12KG0P
Jake: “…”
579Please respect copyright.PENANAQJZFtboW6i
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.
579Please respect copyright.PENANAH9evG7TxX7
But still, time is of the essence. He can’t be gone for long.
579Please respect copyright.PENANAFufPFRLqv4
Jake: “How long would it take for me to learn.”
579Please respect copyright.PENANAJ2pu3u1yx4
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.”
579Please respect copyright.PENANAStZRScofLR
Jake: ‘Years!? No, I don’t have that kind of time. I’ll leave that as a backup.’
579Please respect copyright.PENANA4jxL0oflXI
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.”
579Please respect copyright.PENANASx3QklmSpn
Raskeria: “Sure, sure. Right now though, I’m tired. I’m going home and telling everyone what happened. See you. ‘gate’.”
579Please respect copyright.PENANAL7xGWT0zRF
A rip in reality appears behind Raskeria. She yawns and goes through which causes it to close.
579Please respect copyright.PENANAU23eSWAjDf
Jake: ‘Tch, she better make good on our deal. Or I have another person on my list to kill here.’
579Please respect copyright.PENANAmK0i5Uzb7x
Jake: *Sigh*
579Please respect copyright.PENANAop6ihWgCqz
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.”
579Please respect copyright.PENANAPwig3NBcP0
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.
579Please respect copyright.PENANALxgsyPUCA0
Colbert: “Well, you’re the last one. What will you do?”
579Please respect copyright.PENANAqzUoxg1NDV
Dovahkiin: “Stay for now. Jake’s situation seemed more serious than mine so he can get the gate treatment first. Besides…”
579Please respect copyright.PENANAfmIC70OHNr
Dovahkiin: ‘It’s not all Louise’s fault that I ended up here. Damn that dedric prince.’
579Please respect copyright.PENANAhNiQ7DOxLW
Colbert: “Yes?”
579Please respect copyright.PENANAwBvLNNzcFb
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.”
579Please respect copyright.PENANAPrJRj9xNQ3
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.
579Please respect copyright.PENANAkYM3iZUNBu
Colbert: “Brimir save us, what has Louise unleashed…”
579Please respect copyright.PENANAjOpZwZ5yhz
[Louise’s Room]
579Please respect copyright.PENANAcWaRqGpprL
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.
579Please respect copyright.PENANAHCHH8sMhwo
She gently takes her to the bed and lies her down.
579Please respect copyright.PENANAu8djCdiSL4
Aeterna: “Already, that power is drawing dangerous things to you.”
579Please respect copyright.PENANAEhLzt4p8rs
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.
579Please respect copyright.PENANAar18mYsFaX
Aeterna: “Did she really expect me to sleep on that? I guess she was expecting an animal though.”
579Please respect copyright.PENANAIwqk6OLhs6
She looks down at her body and remembers that she’s still wearing lingerie.
579Please respect copyright.PENANAIvMKhqEYqb
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.”
579Please respect copyright.PENANAHASj3Zw5qZ
With that thought, Aeterna leaves the room.
579Please respect copyright.PENANA1Y7hVr5B8q
…
…
579Please respect copyright.PENANAdLRW6wPYoB
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.
579Please respect copyright.PENANAjGxB3y1jyU
‘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.’
579Please respect copyright.PENANANELGClQOJC
‘Hehe, I’m getting excited. Sweet dreams Louise.’
579Please respect copyright.PENANAkB2ogg50VO
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.
579Please respect copyright.PENANAdqBuHfvLsz
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.
579Please respect copyright.PENANArgQewrek8A
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.
579Please respect copyright.PENANAobvh53QG8D
Among the clouds and across the forest, more rips threaten to form.
579Please respect copyright.PENANAxWGuv173rZ

579Please respect copyright.PENANAQY7KtSmoD6
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.
579Please respect copyright.PENANAtZF1eHFcct
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.
579Please respect copyright.PENANAVzvgoR30nG
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.
