Welcome, to my first fan fic. After years, I finally gave in and tried a few.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAPf4L0uroPY
Mostly crossovers.
635Please respect copyright.PENANA70vaPC9dNO
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.
635Please respect copyright.PENANADrbhX6YJ4A
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.
635Please respect copyright.PENANATgnZP2IZin
They will be listed at the end of this one-shot.
635Please respect copyright.PENANA3kal4ee3gB
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.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAS9YlL2oCCM
This is version 1 after all. If I can perfect the foundation and people like it, then I can continue.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAXJ2yLPIUPL
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.
635Please respect copyright.PENANA2pUpyJhxrg
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.
635Please respect copyright.PENANA57BM7gLmKV
With that out of the way, let’s dive into this slice of eternity in a moment.
635Please respect copyright.PENANA9zoCV1odyq
635Please respect copyright.PENANAs0wONmFGNq
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.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAYOhvuugQN9
Aside from that though, they were also anxious. Anxious about what kind of familiar they would get.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAbZmX1grt30
A summoned familiar mirrors their master’s personality and elemental affinity. Who knows what hidden secrets their familiars may accidentally reveal to everyone?
635Please respect copyright.PENANARwq95oFZXU
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.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAp27hgkI8T9
Yes, all of them have tried and succeeded in summoning a familiar.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAd4Q7FmIcuw
Well, all but one.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAxUQuFduC1t
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.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAYdCMvlV9Ar
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.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAClykq3TZzf
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.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAsGxXmDjjSb
Colbert: “All right then, has everyone had their turn?”
635Please respect copyright.PENANAZpM0KDsX13
But the one to fully shatter her hopes was her bully and rival, Kirche von Zerbst. The busty chocolate beauty.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAlaO7NlNV6X
Kirche: “No, not quite. Ms. Valliere hasn’t done it.”
635Please respect copyright.PENANA0MHmNvUSxo
Louise: ‘Brimir, darn you Kirche.’
635Please respect copyright.PENANA9PUlLQIXHt
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.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAAt6LbAA2MZ
Maybe then, she’ll be respected and can finally deliver some good news to her family.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAtWxNjmUNBM
She goes to the summoning area and prepares to-
635Please respect copyright.PENANAYlxN6wKw41
“Louise the zero.”
635Please respect copyright.PENANAoNY2ZpOMCv
“What do you suppose she’ll summon”
635Please respect copyright.PENANA5O8d5HzF2b
“There’s no way she can summon anything. We’ll just have another explosion and nothing else.”
635Please respect copyright.PENANAxh6p5YjQJ5
Kirche: “With all your boasting, you should be able to summon up something more amazing than this. Right, Louise?”
635Please respect copyright.PENANA5boDNItXtx
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.
635Please respect copyright.PENANA1bfA7Gc51Y
Louise: “Well of course!”
635Please respect copyright.PENANAyhb83Zi97G
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.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAIXtDktrhYJ
She didn’t know it then but, someone was listening to her prayers.
635Please respect copyright.PENANA6QTwxUKlCt
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!”
635Please respect copyright.PENANAHkwkAmDnBe
“And so the die is cast.”
635Please respect copyright.PENANAmhF7HKXNWJ
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.
635Please respect copyright.PENANATWCHlrG4z5
…
…
635Please respect copyright.PENANAtmyILOk2OG
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.
635Please respect copyright.PENANABHocxHjI1S
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.
635Please respect copyright.PENANA98eQmD9U71
The students quickly collected themselves and began their favorite pass time.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAV5wk8Q49NM
“Hah, I knew it! Once a Zero always a Zero.”
635Please respect copyright.PENANAdvwEEzNn6I
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.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAARowpFFUPf
The one most scared was Slyphid, the medium-sized blue dragon summoned by the petite blue-haired Tabitha.
635Please respect copyright.PENANA6Pl6vK1mbu
Tabitha: “What?”
635Please respect copyright.PENANAiqivoUTQtb
Her question brought Slyphid’s head around to look her in the eyes. With their intimate bond, Slyphid was able to respond telepathically.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAjMEVKytgJh
Slyphid: ‘I smell her! I’m Frightened! But…there’s…more than just her…a…Predator.’
635Please respect copyright.PENANAvGiYAk8zfk
The panicked voice in her head startled Tabitha. For a rhyme dragon of all things to be frightened…
635Please respect copyright.PENANAiItibCvWA0
Tabitha: “What do you…mean?”
635Please respect copyright.PENANA18pozqw3A6
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.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAG4GiQuNtP5
Louise: ‘Wait!? Shadows?’
635Please respect copyright.PENANAVXxF7s1bPc
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.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAD06CBiNkd8
When the smoke cleared, something completely unexpected awaited everyone. Not only did Louise summon a human but she summoned multiple familiars.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAzrTamLwaBP
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.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAlWl12qZJSJ
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.
635Please respect copyright.PENANANR37rQEWDS
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.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAgcf7Qu8Aiz
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.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAcCaGcc6vYS
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.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAlKopQqRDCK
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.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAUztr25t447
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.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAZL8PrVlFO6
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.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAUqytlaVQd4
As for Louise, she just couldn’t look away. Especially after what happened next.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAYEOlffjyYK
“Kolo Zu’u, druv los tinvaak dovahzul?”
635Please respect copyright.PENANABdhnhavMWV
…
…635Please respect copyright.PENANANPsq5fmiVC
635Please respect copyright.PENANAHG5KN0l2De
Kirche: “Did that dragon just…speak?”
635Please respect copyright.PENANATPmekwBH3f
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.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAJXODHUDsBA
After a few moments of conversation and looking around, they stopped and looked at Louise.
635Please respect copyright.PENANARKP5CJLxLe
“Okay, who summoned us?”
635Please respect copyright.PENANAdYGq03tCWP
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.
635Please respect copyright.PENANABoCcPbSrmC
Louise: “I-I did. My name is Louise Francoise Le Blanc de La Valliere.”635Please respect copyright.PENANAKEZh2lHycw
635Please respect copyright.PENANAxx2wOhca2y
“Well hi Louise, my name is Raskreia or Rask for short. This dragon is named Dovahkiin, strange name I know.”
635Please respect copyright.PENANAfl742EAyLZ
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.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAt0TxxsGNgu
635Please respect copyright.PENANAn5w5pfTUGP
Raskreia: “Now, I have questions but first I think we should help the kid.”
635Please respect copyright.PENANANCD59n5l5x
635Please respect copyright.PENANAZ438dJf9FC
Colbert finally escaped his shock and agreed. He asks some students to carry the boy to the infirmary.
635Please respect copyright.PENANArlxpeMfyzn
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.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAu3xZN6n8sU
Colbert: ‘Who knows what could’ve happened if we delayed any further.’
635Please respect copyright.PENANAZDRvbwI2OS
“Ugh, what, is with the racket.”
635Please respect copyright.PENANAovVoAp7RMX
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.
635Please respect copyright.PENANASvWExJmkDp
“I slept in an inn in my underwear, and I wake up in a summoning circle in them. Ugh, what even?”
635Please respect copyright.PENANA05PWmuKY2S
Raskreia: “Well, looks who’s awake.”
635Please respect copyright.PENANAPx1sfLL4ye
She sighs.635Please respect copyright.PENANAPPBBOVbfsM
635Please respect copyright.PENANAJT8PzgWZMc
“And I am surrounded by children and a strange dragon.”
635Please respect copyright.PENANAbKuYhRWMVw
Colbert: “Since everyone is awake, not including the injured, we should proceed with the bonding ritual.”635Please respect copyright.PENANAHFRL1HXplB
635Please respect copyright.PENANAk19U3Ie5WP
Raskreia: “Sure, if you’re going to explain to us what in the nine hells is going on here exactly and where we are?”635Please respect copyright.PENANAA4PR2vfU39
635Please respect copyright.PENANA0LF44nfV0x
At this, Louise answers before the man could.635Please respect copyright.PENANAHYS3ZLZvtQ
635Please respect copyright.PENANAzuWwi6l5jt
Louise: “You’re here because I summoned you all to be my familiar with the summon servant spell, and I am your master now.”
635Please respect copyright.PENANAfFbOKy0bes
Rask rolls her eyes while the other 2 had more animated responses.635Please respect copyright.PENANAc9HdbLIFyH
635Please respect copyright.PENANAqJjkazDSAX
“Whoa, back the fuck up. Why should I be your familiar?”635Please respect copyright.PENANAvsdgh2KCXe
635Please respect copyright.PENANATbOz1GjrB8
Dovahkiin: “What do you mean by bonding?”635Please respect copyright.PENANAUw2Bl1wCmQ
635Please respect copyright.PENANAuHTlpKwjnw
Everyone except Rask blinked. That was in Tristainian.635Please respect copyright.PENANAZ2F1tCTMi0
635Please respect copyright.PENANAW5x4q1oZl0
Dovahkiin: “Oh, so now my voice returns.”
635Please respect copyright.PENANAa4BEdzttz6
Colbert: “You can speak our language?”
635Please respect copyright.PENANAxQEyn277Kl
Dovahkiin: “I can speak this language, but before I was…confused and spoke in native Dovahzul.”
635Please respect copyright.PENANAC9DVmIfiaC
Raskreia: “Really? I guess I don’t need this anymore then.”
635Please respect copyright.PENANAfJOpJkYbMh
Rask puts the ring back in her bag.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAAwmZ44JMSU
Colbert: “Dovahzul, I haven’t heard of that language.”
635Please respect copyright.PENANAbRf7efN5Qv
“Neither have I, strange.”
635Please respect copyright.PENANAT3ZzhT1xp8
Dovahkiin: “Enough of this, what do you mean by bonding?”
635Please respect copyright.PENANAU9pqMVkNxK
Despite the group before her, Louise bravely stepped forward again.
635Please respect copyright.PENANA5KIrlIbr42
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.”
635Please respect copyright.PENANAq4OCe90aME
The reactions from all summoned present varied but none good.635Please respect copyright.PENANAVjFog6gQlU
635Please respect copyright.PENANAo3Pfd90Gqj
Raskreia: “I’m fine with getting summoned but getting branded like some animal, no thanks.”635Please respect copyright.PENANAZ94T37NPK7
635Please respect copyright.PENANAO1z5xkKuJN
Louise’s mood quickly deteriorates but there’s still hope she thought. She summoned more than one, surely one would agree.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAXbWHtRjuKE
But that thought quickly faded away when the dragon growled. It drew itself up by stretching its wings down and glared at Louise.
635Please respect copyright.PENANA6CcouHgBau
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?”
635Please respect copyright.PENANAWdpg6tqwKp
Raskreia: ‘Oh no, they made the dragon mad. That’s never a good idea. No matter the plane.’
635Please respect copyright.PENANA8o6DuZBdrX
Colbert stepped in as Louise faltered and took several steps back.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAEgjGAInAfk
Colbert: “It’s how the holy ritual has been performed for hundreds of years.”
635Please respect copyright.PENANAYb1aePF1BA
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.”
635Please respect copyright.PENANAEmEYnR3L0K
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.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAZkaE0mzpJy
Dovahkiin: “I for one refuse to become anyone’s slave. I simply want to return to the life I lived before this all occurred.”
635Please respect copyright.PENANAKjlHIR3icf
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.”
635Please respect copyright.PENANABuoqePfm54
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.’635Please respect copyright.PENANA88f7yCCVwK
635Please respect copyright.PENANA9a0XVo3Q7X
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.
635Please respect copyright.PENANArONLXN7QEt
She grips her wand tightly, wishing this was all a dream. Unbeknownst to her, there was one that considered her offer.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAKXL8eqLZxd
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.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAZoyYhcQSBf
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.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAbDVpGDgCzj
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.635Please respect copyright.PENANAdFlTaVrSfl
635Please respect copyright.PENANAD2tS0SZFqB
She knew intimately what happens in situations like that. Despite her previous obligations, the redhead made her choice.635Please respect copyright.PENANAptl80awrX7
635Please respect copyright.PENANAExnLjwOJ03
“If a familiar is what you seek, then you shall have one. I agree to be yours.”
635Please respect copyright.PENANAYVxY86m4Tc
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.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAoCQ7s4wVlW
Dovahkiin: “You!? You would subject yourself as a slave to a child? Where is your pride as a Dovah?”
635Please respect copyright.PENANAwnCLkiSfKt
“Dovah? I see, that's your word for it. So you can tell?”
635Please respect copyright.PENANAiN7gLRr1dA
Dovahkiin: *Nod*
635Please respect copyright.PENANA7ms7R7yw5Y
“I have my own reasons.”
635Please respect copyright.PENANA6VSwq2ErUk
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.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAkZkNEiJVcD
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?
635Please respect copyright.PENANARgQwZKT0Hb
Raskreia: “Well I won’t judge you. It’s your choice.”
635Please respect copyright.PENANAXGyhBdlrG8
Louise reapplies her rule of steel mask and starts towards the redhead. She let out an indignant, resigned huff as she raised her wand.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAYvYVqLleXT
Louise: “Consider yourself fortunate, commoner. Normally, you’d never in your life have a noble do this to you.”
635Please respect copyright.PENANAUYF5IEiYnY
Louise: “My name is Louise Francoise Le Blanc de La Valliere. Oh, pentagon that rules the five elements, bless this individual and-”
635Please respect copyright.PENANAWGm50fjtVA
635Please respect copyright.PENANASEszdcHYV4
‘Did you think this was it?’
635Please respect copyright.PENANAKT0FnaMJWv
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.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAeqOsyrHMYs
“Louise!?”
635Please respect copyright.PENANAqoXfHXh03p
Everyone, including the dragon, looks at Louise with concern. Before anyone could go to her and see what’s wrong, something else extraordinary happens.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAtau91qe74N
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.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAnwWbGiB41c
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.
635Please respect copyright.PENANARthBLLaD2c
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.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAPslQpCZcI2
Raskeria: “The hell was that?”
635Please respect copyright.PENANAa6zkruua4C
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.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAkKdoy95kfb
Colbert: “A golem?”
635Please respect copyright.PENANANgsz9EZEtG
Dovahkiin: “No, something more.”
635Please respect copyright.PENANArUGeN8NzjX
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.
635Please respect copyright.PENANA7IwtSoYTUW
Guiche: “Unhand me this instant!”
635Please respect copyright.PENANAKnVhrt5vD9
It didn’t respond instead it brought its other arm up and balled it into a fist.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAyAxIB5Hb5R
Guiche: “You would dare hit a noble!? I tell you, my father is a gener-”
635Please respect copyright.PENANAxNkdvZYIP1
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.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAai6EVeDyPr
Colbert: “Mister Grammont!”
635Please respect copyright.PENANAsc4Jt3e0y4
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.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAMq1w2gflMI
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.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAf8iuPfQlRj
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.
635Please respect copyright.PENANA9BR6y3gyyK
Guiche: “L-Louise?”635Please respect copyright.PENANAA6z32KE9Jd
635Please respect copyright.PENANAw3eFIuxAhM
Colbert: “But how?”
635Please respect copyright.PENANALeRij24yuc
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.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAtuQSU4yyLl
Raskeria: “Can this day get any crazier?”
635Please respect copyright.PENANA7z15aFiHrl
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.
635Please respect copyright.PENANALo9OocHoST
Guiche: “How dare-”
635Please respect copyright.PENANAVfQf5VaMjh
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.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAl6daWzDIBL
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.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAjohdi3xeX2
Regardless, Dova took the golem and threw it across the field away from the students.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAFr3Urz4mTM
While this was happening, the redhead took Louise to a safe distance. She could help but she wanted to keep Louise safe for now.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAeg58zUnKp5
Raskeria: “That has to be among the strongest golems I’ve ever seen.”
635Please respect copyright.PENANAp7IWByurgW
Dovahkiin: “It’s like a Dwemer automation but more…advanced somehow.”
635Please respect copyright.PENANARlAiLD0Vgw
Louise?: “I don’t remember you two when I left. Who are you two?”

Raskeria: “Talk later, fight now!”
635Please respect copyright.PENANAC3DXVE6vwa
Dovahkiin: “YOL TOOR SHUL!”
635Please respect copyright.PENANARfrutRbFBs
The dragon breathes intense heat at the golem while Raskeria casts a strange spell that also shoots bolts of fire.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAXXCLm6R38s
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.
635Please respect copyright.PENANA8x7YDsjBkR
Raskeria: “Okay, that thing is too dangerous. Disintegrate.”
635Please respect copyright.PENANAtjjOvcWb6a
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.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAhmzMBJWbE9
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.
635Please respect copyright.PENANA2rzlD8kttz
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.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAZOVyLAUDJP
This proved to be the right choice when the sound of lightning cracked from the cloud of dust.
635Please respect copyright.PENANA2Y7bV4UXVY
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.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAljh0XGimA3
Raskeria: “Another one!? To think, I was just hanging out with friends and now I have to fight for my life.”
635Please respect copyright.PENANAeW7AF9kQrT
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.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAjd9fv89tG4
Eventually, the sound of clicking reached her ears. She disassembled her shield and placed her hands behind her with her palms open.
635Please respect copyright.PENANANJrp0DiJZL
Louise 2: ‘Here’s my chanc-”
635Please respect copyright.PENANApnXl54Gjsp
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.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAYGHlomH4a9
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.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAQS5DTAJkj2
Raskeria: “Did Louise summon another one? I can’t deny it, that’s impressive.”
635Please respect copyright.PENANA8UQy9GqJ8K
Louise 2: “Friend or foe?”
635Please respect copyright.PENANANXJ7XhpE2d
Jake: “Depends on what happens next. The name’s Jake Logan Anderson, Jake will do.”
635Please respect copyright.PENANAlvCqFvJphY
Dovahkiin: “FUS RO DAH”
635Please respect copyright.PENANALZl8da0Lwj
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.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAGzGXxsw2oF
Dovahkiin: ‘I need to get used to this body and fast. I hope that was the last of them.’
635Please respect copyright.PENANAcNerqnOxnr
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.
635Please respect copyright.PENANA59wYNqOhCb
Louise 2: “Mr. Colbert!”
635Please respect copyright.PENANArcaiAVUAy6
This seemed to jog the man from his shock.
635Please respect copyright.PENANABoz2d2oqo3
Colbert: “Um yes, what do you need Ms….you are Valliere right?”
635Please respect copyright.PENANAwTTtiGI8cP
Louise 2: “Yes. Evacuate everyone from this place right now.”
635Please respect copyright.PENANASbOWz3xh6a
Raskeria: “Why? Isn’t it over?”
635Please respect copyright.PENANAcU0rsvYIuQ
Jake: “No, it’s never that easy.”
635Please respect copyright.PENANAWZR0lV2E2k
Louise 2: “He’s right, this courtyard isn’t safe anymore.”
635Please respect copyright.PENANAkRn4dypk3w
The doppelganger looked at the strangers she fought with.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAjmqBLuvoSH
Louise 2: “Can trust one of you to help Colbert protect everyone.”
635Please respect copyright.PENANAKjFWkc4GXY
Before any of them could answer, the red-head answered.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAxsn8LU8UiX
“I’ll protect him along with…you I guess.”
635Please respect copyright.PENANAye2Y6bOPWY
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.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAQFFnEIHW7f
Louise 2: “And who are you?”
635Please respect copyright.PENANA0ZZe3YkRUI
“My name is Aeterna Flamma, your familiar.”
635Please respect copyright.PENANAYKixCbOJEh
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.
635Please respect copyright.PENANApQ2kBVdnYj
Dovahkiin: “Trust her, she is stronger than she looks.”
635Please respect copyright.PENANAWNVNsfPwSd
Louise: 2: “…Fine. I won’t argue with a dragon. Especially not now.”
635Please respect copyright.PENANAOZjAW8pOUy
Aeterna: “Good, come on everyone.”
635Please respect copyright.PENANANoncDO0iKS
Colbert: “Y-You heard them, we can’t stay here any-”
635Please respect copyright.PENANAtenSqoKrqW
Suddenly, the sound of something rattling made itself known throughout the courtyard. Louise 2 clicked her tongue.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAaF2nxKeuSV
Louise 2: “Go, NOW!”
635Please respect copyright.PENANABS6vd0hLKI
They followed her order, many out of fear of the sight before them. The 3 golems slowly but surely collapsed into strange black sand.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAommGfxJXCI
Jake: “What the fuck?! Are these truly machines?”
635Please respect copyright.PENANAR8zPDM9d1b
Raskeria: “I’m starting to question that too.”
635Please respect copyright.PENANA87SQfzjUe6
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.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAitOEg2lnK9
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.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAKQl4c98slP
The arms were next. The left was a massive blade and the right was a massive claw hand.
635Please respect copyright.PENANA9ra6zfebZ7
Finally, the head was bulky enough to discourage any beheading. But the most important part was the lines connecting to the chest area.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAOnPuoLtjIy
Louise 2: ‘That’s its weak point.’
635Please respect copyright.PENANAcJ6ZNDGeKw
Its eyes finally light up and lock onto the fighters.
635Please respect copyright.PENANA8Eu4k4GLaB
Louise 2: “Just my luck, a Ravager.”
635Please respect copyright.PENANAgBXrBdwEXV
Raskeria: “A what?”
635Please respect copyright.PENANAgKifIV94EE
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.
635Please respect copyright.PENANA4MI5FTBTuo
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.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAbyPaRiiPIr
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.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAHzoAVszTCT
Louise 2: “Go!”
635Please respect copyright.PENANAVGcE9yRIS5
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.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAnfVPnLk3A5
Raskeria aided the group with various spells, mostly fire and stuff like ‘Create Pit’.
635Please respect copyright.PENANABUt6OOY5ke
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.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAycZL5SpivR
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.
635Please respect copyright.PENANATjuvoHNdFM
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.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAgq3ClTZNU9
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.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAkHSxEmPTiB
Raskeria: “Yeah, stay right there. Disintegrate.”
635Please respect copyright.PENANAsG9IIEOfaG
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.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAVGZgqAgpnM
Louise 2: “That won’t be enough! We need to destroy its core.”
635Please respect copyright.PENANACCFqYzClYR
Jake: “Where is it then!?”
635Please respect copyright.PENANA8i29ArXqdd
Louise 2: “It was in its chest but who knows where it will be when it reforms.”
635Please respect copyright.PENANASiUUjIJJJN
They look back at Rask and she couldn’t help but rub the back of her head.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAso58ntzdUY
Raskeria: “My bad.”
635Please respect copyright.PENANAO4dLAbJbZ6
Jake: “Tch, it’s like fighting a machine version of me.”
635Please respect copyright.PENANAtRWHvdOqMd
Dovahkiin: “FO KRAH DIIN”
635Please respect copyright.PENANA9UzUXmkJbE
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.
635Please respect copyright.PENANARc1M4bmvvy
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.
635Please respect copyright.PENANABWhnwPnvax
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.”
635Please respect copyright.PENANAeWf4gM0RKp
Raskeria: “What do you mean?”
635Please respect copyright.PENANAOZKBTI70rL
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.”
635Please respect copyright.PENANArpzRt6rc14
Jake: “…Fine.”
635Please respect copyright.PENANAzOB1AgKPHb
The other 2 nodded and got into position.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAYqT05KnYcb
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.
635Please respect copyright.PENANABOpuNnzS5R
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.
635Please respect copyright.PENANA49wClJ1ibm
Louise 2: “You got to be kidding me.”635Please respect copyright.PENANA9lLtCEXSuR
635Please respect copyright.PENANAxEOagAHekN
The Ravager started firing at everything below. Raskeria created another shield around everyone to block the heavy bullet fire.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAVJnnebTBzk
Raskeria: “Dovahkiin, this is all you. I’ll focus on protecting everyone while you distract it enough to prevent it from firing.”
635Please respect copyright.PENANAsglt2pAzzf
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.
635Please respect copyright.PENANABbqEO7pF0U
Despite Dovah’s best efforts though, Ravager wasn’t that bothered by it’s attacks. That was until Dovah started using more unique shouts.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAbfqga2Q45r
Dovahkiin: “VEN GAAR NOS!”
635Please respect copyright.PENANAOWoOnj6Qq4
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.
635Please respect copyright.PENANA1HIgEZMGN1
Louise 2: “Great, bring it down quick! I can see where the core is! Focus your attacks on its head!”
635Please respect copyright.PENANAG06w8WQO1g
Raskeria: “I still need to keep the shield on Dovahkiin so I can’t attack.”
635Please respect copyright.PENANAsWEwUrmgks
Louise 2: “That’s a good thing, just focus on support.”
635Please respect copyright.PENANAlwhgp9J48M
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.
635Please respect copyright.PENANADXmAPvUoNi
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.
635Please respect copyright.PENANACEZ1UKQV0S
Raskeria: “Was that…magic?”
635Please respect copyright.PENANAbCQalbdGLW
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.”
635Please respect copyright.PENANAt2AKYVyTuo
Dova shrugged it off but still lost some ground. Jake on the other hand was on fire and falling.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAgE6TZ1995M
Jake: ‘Of course, it had to use fire and lightning of all things.’
635Please respect copyright.PENANAbV4WF7ltKo
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.
635Please respect copyright.PENANA3XF93ayRRJ
It abandoned the dragon and went to delete the living weapon. But before it could, another welcomed surprise appeared. The final and winning variable.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAEsVeLfTvWq
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.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAV250m8WUYi
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.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAVccYsSYUQc
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.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAinqUjS4qhs
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.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAGLAJIUJmND
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.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAD7u5aMkVKU
Louise 2: “I don’t know who you are but if you can understand me, keep it down while I end this.”
635Please respect copyright.PENANA3xk3Rc7oDs
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.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAOSfdUxw1js
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.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAnfNtUoHjEy
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.’
635Please respect copyright.PENANAaWove1BlXb
The distance between them became smaller.
635Please respect copyright.PENANATx30MFkzJL
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.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAzdPzImso4p
20 meters
635Please respect copyright.PENANAfN1EHWlAnV
Arcs of pink electricity started to form around her.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAUWKUIghZkl
15 meters
635Please respect copyright.PENANAPgSVMCYVKh
She opened her eyes; her vision was surrounded by plenty of warnings but she dismissed them.
635Please respect copyright.PENANA9EKuv8gR7w
10 meters
635Please respect copyright.PENANA3pleXkLorZ
Louise 2: “Adapt to this!”
635Please respect copyright.PENANAZdbExZxgRw
5 meters
635Please respect copyright.PENANA3DE4Y2SoXF
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.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAYFOVePnQHc
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.
635Please respect copyright.PENANA9Dc8Sj9ksX
The sonic boom made it into everyone’s ears. Students screamed and even the fighters had to cover their ears as the ground quaked.
635Please respect copyright.PENANANE3YRBBW3o
The fighters aside from Jake ran up to the aftermath of the attack. Colbert also came running despite Aeterna’s warning.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAVSaqKfbxlY
Good news, the Ravager now sported a missing head. Bad news, behind the Ravager was a badly damaged Louise 2.
635Please respect copyright.PENANApI1SNcT0sS
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.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAXbLYXgkXAA
Raskeria: “Okay, that looks terrible. But I can fix this.”
635Please respect copyright.PENANAMQI2aMU3hL
She started to create ice to cool her down before applying healing magic. But before she could a voice stopped her.
635Please respect copyright.PENANATCYSNaHWBp
“STOP, YOU’RE GOING TO KILL HER!”
635Please respect copyright.PENANAse2H0C3Dou
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.
635Please respect copyright.PENANA14HqWU1zEj
Colbert: “Stop, any closer and we’ll consider you an enemy!”
635Please respect copyright.PENANAJqmeUMW05A
Raskeria: “I vote enemy, where was he when everything was going wrong?”
635Please respect copyright.PENANA1PjLhkNrOr
Louise 2: “B-Bench? I-Is that…y-you?”
635Please respect copyright.PENANAkCVLKsQ4fT
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.
635Please respect copyright.PENANABj1Ed5Ev5e
Colbert: “Miss Valliere!”
635Please respect copyright.PENANAylnwYUzoSt
Louise 2: “Please…let Bench…come to me…professor.”
635Please respect copyright.PENANAspd7n2ZLez
Raskeria: “But what about my magic? I can heal you good as new.”
635Please respect copyright.PENANACBBbsjEDsT
Louise 2: “Don’t…I…d-don’t know…what effect it…will h-have.”
635Please respect copyright.PENANAyTnRsC5TsD
Bench: “Listen to her, I know what to do. Trust me, she’s in good hands.”
635Please respect copyright.PENANASiVvAVsvM8
Raskeria: “…Fine. This whole thing is beyond me anyway.”
635Please respect copyright.PENANAsHBo6MH65G
Heeding his words, Raskeria and Colbert moved out of the way. Bench approached Louise 2 and a blue line scanned her entire being.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAG0ek317O1U
Bench: “You’ve really done it this time Louise.”
635Please respect copyright.PENANAkTI9QcuUmD
Louise 2: “Why does…it…matter…I destroyed…the Ravager.”
635Please respect copyright.PENANAa42XyjG7yY
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.”
635Please respect copyright.PENANAjNJfivvxI8
Raskeria: ‘You mean what I was going to do?’
635Please respect copyright.PENANAhkwpIAv0n0
Louise 2: “Then would…this help?”
635Please respect copyright.PENANAxUjhBdS3wp
She asks while letting go of a red orb that was giving a low hum.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAlq9rBA0TiT
Bench: “Is that what I think it is?”
635Please respect copyright.PENANAsIRvsY1mrt
Louise 2: “Y-You bet…it is.”
635Please respect copyright.PENANArS6ad5DV76
A blue line passed over the orb from Bench.
635Please respect copyright.PENANACi2yrhLXRM
Bench: “I can’t believe it, a Ravager core.”
635Please respect copyright.PENANA9Xc305r0go
Raskeria: “You mean that’s what we were fighting to destroy? Why is it intact?”
635Please respect copyright.PENANA9tFOeL8nBk
Bench: “Because this might be the only sure way to save Louise.”
635Please respect copyright.PENANAEU4rgmD2ma
Raskeria: “Magic is out but the core of that monster is okay?”
635Please respect copyright.PENANABLpUXJeSwV
Dovahkiin: “I agree, destroy it.”
635Please respect copyright.PENANAgb9ZFTTyd8
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?”
635Please respect copyright.PENANArj1oeUC5ba
Raskeria: “No but I’m keeping my eye on you…and that.”
635Please respect copyright.PENANA1lkhiBhbmH
Bench: “By all means.”
635Please respect copyright.PENANAIQXeZHYyKE
Louise 2: “So…can you…d-do it Bench?”
635Please respect copyright.PENANAWisMqZAp86
Bench: “Do you know who you’re talking to?
635Please respect copyright.PENANAbFhDyluEmU
Louise 2: “That’s…good.”
635Please respect copyright.PENANA2i7FdvtQU7
Louise 2 finally succumbs to her wounds and passes out. Bench looks to Colbert and gives a stern order.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAuk7BRDSa0L
Bench: “Take me to where your clinic is, I have a Hunter to repair!”
635Please respect copyright.PENANArVDWm8Wvw7
Jake: “Wait a minute!”
635Please respect copyright.PENANA4F6KxHvwsp
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.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAygW5rLx11X
Bench: “What are you doing?!”
635Please respect copyright.PENANAMG1wK2oZCm
Jake: “Just because I helped defeat that thing doesn’t mean we’re allies. I need answers!”
635Please respect copyright.PENANAmkZNzff8FX
Raskeria: “Calm down Jake, do you really want to fight everyone here?”
635Please respect copyright.PENANAp9p8hAcrhq
Jake: “…I’ll do what I have to.”
635Please respect copyright.PENANA9FZRUfE8t4
Colbert: “W-What do you want to know?”
635Please respect copyright.PENANAMslDxdYQO9
Bench: “We don’t have time for this! Louise will die if Colbert doesn’t show me to the clinic.”
635Please respect copyright.PENANAAOUkzns2CL
Jake: “I don’t care.”
635Please respect copyright.PENANAYmquUcASFC
Bench: “You-”
635Please respect copyright.PENANAKaOyk5hKpH
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.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAhcxMB2YdFF
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.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAZavtyvZWnp
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.
635Please respect copyright.PENANADcgI9p2joT
“Can you understand me?”
635Please respect copyright.PENANAbH4kPSUipb
Raskeria: ‘A translation spell? Oh, he’s good.’
635Please respect copyright.PENANAXYPDsrlXkK
Colbert: “Y-Yes.”
635Please respect copyright.PENANApjlnCxg5bQ
“Wonderful, my name is Zander and I’ll take them to the clinic.”
635Please respect copyright.PENANAe8AJ2tgYkC
Colbert: “But how? You don’t know the way.”
635Please respect copyright.PENANAmjdDOUnz9c
Zander: “I’ll ask one of the students or the staff. I’m sure they’ll help.”
635Please respect copyright.PENANAhgaQgi6a2F
With a slight twist of his wrist, Louise begins to float off the ground.
635Please respect copyright.PENANA3aZlP7Jpql
Zander: “Shall we go Bench?”
635Please respect copyright.PENANAvCOmBCASba
Bench: “Yes, quickly now.”
635Please respect copyright.PENANA9qWaRT5Tsj
They begin to leave but before that Zander gives a sharp glare to Jake.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAsURGuAcuVZ
Zander: “I hope I don’t have to come back here and deal with you Jake. I rather we be friends than enemies.”
635Please respect copyright.PENANAOFvyfD9YuZ
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.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAVHjVOPAuuC
No one said a word until Zander was gone.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAu4667PfeG4
Colbert: “Okay, so what do you want to know Jake.”
635Please respect copyright.PENANApLgnQSqL2g
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…”
635Please respect copyright.PENANA3nOJApJ8ws
Jake brings his blade a bit closer to Colbert which makes everyone tense up, ready for another fight.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAZq9LMFA8Sd
Jake: “You will take me back to New York.”
635Please respect copyright.PENANAyQZmroifGM
Colbert: “I’m sorry but…there’s no way back. None that we know of.”
635Please respect copyright.PENANABQ6ogaIuyB
The moment those words left his mouth, he felt the urge to slice off his head.
635Please respect copyright.PENANA92NXJ3Bbx2
No way to get back to New York meant Blackwatch ran free and the only family he has left was in danger.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAXGoF8jc2Du
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.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAlrveUdcNMm
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.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAJYsslvNK1d
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!”
635Please respect copyright.PENANA1NvmHK6gbu
Colbert: “Sir, I’m truly sorry but there is no way to reverse this.”
635Please respect copyright.PENANAc0Q6aILq8D
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.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAlIb601hMc5
Raskeria: “There might be a way.”
635Please respect copyright.PENANA0uaGvsrijc
Everyone turned toward the girl. Jake’s eyes widened with relief but also slow-cooking anger.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAvC70lSpwS5
Jake: “Tell me.”
635Please respect copyright.PENANAeDnBQIJAr5
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.”
635Please respect copyright.PENANA80DLh3p0Yr
Jake: “Then-”
635Please respect copyright.PENANAX206thwfOR
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…”
635Please respect copyright.PENANAG8Qx05Lqsw
Jake: “Or?”
635Please respect copyright.PENANATrET84epGL
Raskeria: “Learn magic and go yourself.”
635Please respect copyright.PENANAKUvEri8pXa
Colbert: “Learn magic?”
635Please respect copyright.PENANAa1UEQVCBLS
Raskeria: “Yeah, it will be hard but it can be done.”
635Please respect copyright.PENANAFs3UuEPWvn
Jake: “…”
635Please respect copyright.PENANATvYpgWVZ5G
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.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAkOiR5wruSy
But still, time is of the essence. He can’t be gone for long.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAUmCxFxrayC
Jake: “How long would it take for me to learn.”
635Please respect copyright.PENANAizr1MT4Lpg
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.”
635Please respect copyright.PENANAg6K7spcbLc
Jake: ‘Years!? No, I don’t have that kind of time. I’ll leave that as a backup.’
635Please respect copyright.PENANAbVN4AC12lW
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.”
635Please respect copyright.PENANA42DkSN0Hab
Raskeria: “Sure, sure. Right now though, I’m tired. I’m going home and telling everyone what happened. See you. ‘gate’.”
635Please respect copyright.PENANAxh9pmfNUn0
A rip in reality appears behind Raskeria. She yawns and goes through which causes it to close.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAdkLwZCvshm
Jake: ‘Tch, she better make good on our deal. Or I have another person on my list to kill here.’
635Please respect copyright.PENANAi9xXxQQ5AT
Jake: *Sigh*
635Please respect copyright.PENANAdIG1BXY3Aw
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.”
635Please respect copyright.PENANAYCZL8YY2XI
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.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAk1VVAr73el
Colbert: “Well, you’re the last one. What will you do?”
635Please respect copyright.PENANAG0vU3ZpCCV
Dovahkiin: “Stay for now. Jake’s situation seemed more serious than mine so he can get the gate treatment first. Besides…”
635Please respect copyright.PENANAx36XqXUNT3
Dovahkiin: ‘It’s not all Louise’s fault that I ended up here. Damn that dedric prince.’
635Please respect copyright.PENANANuZKsNYj2J
Colbert: “Yes?”
635Please respect copyright.PENANA3psczKhNir
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.”
635Please respect copyright.PENANAAl8uTn8WJs
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.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAuEt9QQIXel
Colbert: “Brimir save us, what has Louise unleashed…”
635Please respect copyright.PENANABmzy9GvHVP
[Louise’s Room]
635Please respect copyright.PENANAvv7eBQgVcF
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.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAhxubCGujcD
She gently takes her to the bed and lies her down.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAwNAeW2YlyK
Aeterna: “Already, that power is drawing dangerous things to you.”
635Please respect copyright.PENANAL5z0N2KPwZ
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.
635Please respect copyright.PENANArBFN700ymo
Aeterna: “Did she really expect me to sleep on that? I guess she was expecting an animal though.”
635Please respect copyright.PENANA05K2A14O4t
She looks down at her body and remembers that she’s still wearing lingerie.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAkpQCBItP9q
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.”
635Please respect copyright.PENANAGlHceY3Kg5
With that thought, Aeterna leaves the room.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAwMA2NSdfh2
…
…
635Please respect copyright.PENANASQaDi4aMD7
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.
635Please respect copyright.PENANA0oaEA6ELVv
‘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.’
635Please respect copyright.PENANAk8GBSR1mMC
‘Hehe, I’m getting excited. Sweet dreams Louise.’
635Please respect copyright.PENANA73DvVS0jKs
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.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAyOaGyTzpp4
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.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAKGixbesAAQ
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.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAY3WqMYc3c2
Among the clouds and across the forest, more rips threaten to form.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAtLROHYRr47
‘Let the games begin.’

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.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAK0jRy47eaH
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.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAxBmsz8jSrU
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.
