Welcome, to my first fan fic. After years, I finally gave in and tried a few.
636Please respect copyright.PENANA9nGhaGGFrb
Mostly crossovers.
636Please respect copyright.PENANAkJhb7vl1eI
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.
636Please respect copyright.PENANAeibu83IqTa
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.
636Please respect copyright.PENANAOPE4oC6W2c
They will be listed at the end of this one-shot.
636Please respect copyright.PENANAvlGhSWIvlR
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.
636Please respect copyright.PENANAgy7MAjp9ts
This is version 1 after all. If I can perfect the foundation and people like it, then I can continue.
636Please respect copyright.PENANA4n919RaRe4
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.
636Please respect copyright.PENANAX13qkmuUEk
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.
636Please respect copyright.PENANAmBwmffwk92
With that out of the way, let’s dive into this slice of eternity in a moment.
636Please respect copyright.PENANA3KsnVHgUDc
636Please respect copyright.PENANA15CJzJQxtC
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.
636Please respect copyright.PENANASoz6iojZVP
Aside from that though, they were also anxious. Anxious about what kind of familiar they would get.
636Please respect copyright.PENANA6IGQXWpNj9
A summoned familiar mirrors their master’s personality and elemental affinity. Who knows what hidden secrets their familiars may accidentally reveal to everyone?
636Please respect copyright.PENANAHGO2cwSKdM
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.
636Please respect copyright.PENANAqDgxxdnP4I
Yes, all of them have tried and succeeded in summoning a familiar.
636Please respect copyright.PENANA3igtnGxYUP
Well, all but one.
636Please respect copyright.PENANAZ3HkWXR8M7
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.
636Please respect copyright.PENANALAksviRskJ
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.
636Please respect copyright.PENANA6J7kBOqCWD
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.
636Please respect copyright.PENANA82Rs8dB6dL
Colbert: “All right then, has everyone had their turn?”
636Please respect copyright.PENANAfwOKIAuLWM
But the one to fully shatter her hopes was her bully and rival, Kirche von Zerbst. The busty chocolate beauty.
636Please respect copyright.PENANAcPF9BT9MN8
Kirche: “No, not quite. Ms. Valliere hasn’t done it.”
636Please respect copyright.PENANAQDtzUM0rKv
Louise: ‘Brimir, darn you Kirche.’
636Please respect copyright.PENANAqndqRCDDbd
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.
636Please respect copyright.PENANAo9pVzFH9es
Maybe then, she’ll be respected and can finally deliver some good news to her family.
636Please respect copyright.PENANATgY63J3prn
She goes to the summoning area and prepares to-
636Please respect copyright.PENANA4kHYldXz5z
“Louise the zero.”
636Please respect copyright.PENANAthr02GaDVc
“What do you suppose she’ll summon”
636Please respect copyright.PENANAHw69DhGYXL
“There’s no way she can summon anything. We’ll just have another explosion and nothing else.”
636Please respect copyright.PENANATA82d6IVh8
Kirche: “With all your boasting, you should be able to summon up something more amazing than this. Right, Louise?”
636Please respect copyright.PENANAZrfZzW0qoR
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.
636Please respect copyright.PENANAqwiZstZt56
Louise: “Well of course!”
636Please respect copyright.PENANAodAbNKfgE4
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.
636Please respect copyright.PENANASaljdGYHii
She didn’t know it then but, someone was listening to her prayers.
636Please respect copyright.PENANA27QztzSrfM
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!”
636Please respect copyright.PENANA1Op6uZUXRV
“And so the die is cast.”
636Please respect copyright.PENANATHRahdrL0x
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.
636Please respect copyright.PENANA0Ke3xAOAUW
…
…
636Please respect copyright.PENANADQNTBNVXwu
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.
636Please respect copyright.PENANAvFcL2zSjhF
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.
636Please respect copyright.PENANA67coec9GSq
The students quickly collected themselves and began their favorite pass time.
636Please respect copyright.PENANA2jO8amlwtz
“Hah, I knew it! Once a Zero always a Zero.”
636Please respect copyright.PENANAR9JERwwOpb
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.
636Please respect copyright.PENANAOxVIYyE6pF
The one most scared was Slyphid, the medium-sized blue dragon summoned by the petite blue-haired Tabitha.
636Please respect copyright.PENANAjFDtZNDMi2
Tabitha: “What?”
636Please respect copyright.PENANAjgJFFtqZxl
Her question brought Slyphid’s head around to look her in the eyes. With their intimate bond, Slyphid was able to respond telepathically.
636Please respect copyright.PENANAOmKFYYVZnG
Slyphid: ‘I smell her! I’m Frightened! But…there’s…more than just her…a…Predator.’
636Please respect copyright.PENANAqCnTBLzqaE
The panicked voice in her head startled Tabitha. For a rhyme dragon of all things to be frightened…
636Please respect copyright.PENANA97MHTxhFkq
Tabitha: “What do you…mean?”
636Please respect copyright.PENANAqh1Qj97Vst
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.
636Please respect copyright.PENANAw34AZibc0r
Louise: ‘Wait!? Shadows?’
636Please respect copyright.PENANAXZ0OBpDTxS
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.
636Please respect copyright.PENANAhU9n4ns02A
When the smoke cleared, something completely unexpected awaited everyone. Not only did Louise summon a human but she summoned multiple familiars.
636Please respect copyright.PENANASm282jkDWh
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.
636Please respect copyright.PENANAGUG4QPlvfh
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.
636Please respect copyright.PENANAYo0hN0oQyK
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.
636Please respect copyright.PENANAqrnBd5eaNL
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.
636Please respect copyright.PENANAZs1tgeK4nn
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.
636Please respect copyright.PENANAKyvuUipOY1
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.
636Please respect copyright.PENANANM6YTM3h16
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.
636Please respect copyright.PENANAUXR9hajpl5
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.
636Please respect copyright.PENANA5ftZNpBY52
As for Louise, she just couldn’t look away. Especially after what happened next.
636Please respect copyright.PENANAHLkEla72of
“Kolo Zu’u, druv los tinvaak dovahzul?”
636Please respect copyright.PENANA1ywYfh3hrJ
…
…636Please respect copyright.PENANAC8MebmJHEX
636Please respect copyright.PENANAur3lyRJEVz
Kirche: “Did that dragon just…speak?”
636Please respect copyright.PENANAqxxw0OCZRZ
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.
636Please respect copyright.PENANAXbY9BCNmoX
After a few moments of conversation and looking around, they stopped and looked at Louise.
636Please respect copyright.PENANAQPvPmMtsIs
“Okay, who summoned us?”
636Please respect copyright.PENANAnAxos6IpEM
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.
636Please respect copyright.PENANAbVBILn2eHk
Louise: “I-I did. My name is Louise Francoise Le Blanc de La Valliere.”636Please respect copyright.PENANAo48jzDtNB6
636Please respect copyright.PENANAqGBUOOOK71
“Well hi Louise, my name is Raskreia or Rask for short. This dragon is named Dovahkiin, strange name I know.”
636Please respect copyright.PENANAMMtNUuohAy
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.
636Please respect copyright.PENANAcrus1VmZuz
636Please respect copyright.PENANAiiB3f7uQPf
Raskreia: “Now, I have questions but first I think we should help the kid.”
636Please respect copyright.PENANAf6wyhTchi2
636Please respect copyright.PENANAuWm7x2zN6G
Colbert finally escaped his shock and agreed. He asks some students to carry the boy to the infirmary.
636Please respect copyright.PENANAA5HPTubUWE
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.
636Please respect copyright.PENANArPrHmXq5TK
Colbert: ‘Who knows what could’ve happened if we delayed any further.’
636Please respect copyright.PENANA5XpxljyiXH
“Ugh, what, is with the racket.”
636Please respect copyright.PENANA3no75un7eW
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.
636Please respect copyright.PENANAOcdpF3YwM9
“I slept in an inn in my underwear, and I wake up in a summoning circle in them. Ugh, what even?”
636Please respect copyright.PENANA12O5GYCnYU
Raskreia: “Well, looks who’s awake.”
636Please respect copyright.PENANAKFhRy8LgIp
She sighs.636Please respect copyright.PENANAc1UcEMADR6
636Please respect copyright.PENANAjFB6YmYKns
“And I am surrounded by children and a strange dragon.”
636Please respect copyright.PENANAEGc8s9BtgJ
Colbert: “Since everyone is awake, not including the injured, we should proceed with the bonding ritual.”636Please respect copyright.PENANACZ0ANRwpUI
636Please respect copyright.PENANAC9mvvcqaum
Raskreia: “Sure, if you’re going to explain to us what in the nine hells is going on here exactly and where we are?”636Please respect copyright.PENANAakv39ThHq4
636Please respect copyright.PENANA77DLonh3mk
At this, Louise answers before the man could.636Please respect copyright.PENANA4CH0I6Dept
636Please respect copyright.PENANA8JDSGjkO78
Louise: “You’re here because I summoned you all to be my familiar with the summon servant spell, and I am your master now.”
636Please respect copyright.PENANAopVSr9m4JL
Rask rolls her eyes while the other 2 had more animated responses.636Please respect copyright.PENANAJlrxOY7zSQ
636Please respect copyright.PENANACd1L6chFZO
“Whoa, back the fuck up. Why should I be your familiar?”636Please respect copyright.PENANAV4RISGZcDl
636Please respect copyright.PENANAR3l3BrmYkY
Dovahkiin: “What do you mean by bonding?”636Please respect copyright.PENANAx4isukMgKD
636Please respect copyright.PENANACIF4L9duA3
Everyone except Rask blinked. That was in Tristainian.636Please respect copyright.PENANAaJqb77gUMN
636Please respect copyright.PENANAwgvfqZKfFo
Dovahkiin: “Oh, so now my voice returns.”
636Please respect copyright.PENANA7rxR38hDl3
Colbert: “You can speak our language?”
636Please respect copyright.PENANAvhOH9g79Sj
Dovahkiin: “I can speak this language, but before I was…confused and spoke in native Dovahzul.”
636Please respect copyright.PENANANYBrcYEFMO
Raskreia: “Really? I guess I don’t need this anymore then.”
636Please respect copyright.PENANA11gcJcUjq2
Rask puts the ring back in her bag.
636Please respect copyright.PENANAZbYwtCukVz
Colbert: “Dovahzul, I haven’t heard of that language.”
636Please respect copyright.PENANACWIwNraNxL
“Neither have I, strange.”
636Please respect copyright.PENANA8qVLSp05sv
Dovahkiin: “Enough of this, what do you mean by bonding?”
636Please respect copyright.PENANAXks6J7NI86
Despite the group before her, Louise bravely stepped forward again.
636Please respect copyright.PENANAXtjrr3Do2A
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.”
636Please respect copyright.PENANAROmkWExR3l
The reactions from all summoned present varied but none good.636Please respect copyright.PENANAc0mffnebeB
636Please respect copyright.PENANA78ziLXEC2p
Raskreia: “I’m fine with getting summoned but getting branded like some animal, no thanks.”636Please respect copyright.PENANAmwnW3G7viq
636Please respect copyright.PENANA94SymJlK4U
Louise’s mood quickly deteriorates but there’s still hope she thought. She summoned more than one, surely one would agree.
636Please respect copyright.PENANASnOmVMAFft
But that thought quickly faded away when the dragon growled. It drew itself up by stretching its wings down and glared at Louise.
636Please respect copyright.PENANAiRh8YfTtEe
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?”
636Please respect copyright.PENANABIO1CyL448
Raskreia: ‘Oh no, they made the dragon mad. That’s never a good idea. No matter the plane.’
636Please respect copyright.PENANA92OF4mCkuq
Colbert stepped in as Louise faltered and took several steps back.
636Please respect copyright.PENANAiddmw48kiO
Colbert: “It’s how the holy ritual has been performed for hundreds of years.”
636Please respect copyright.PENANAB1poE0M6r3
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.”
636Please respect copyright.PENANACiGGvLxcLU
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.
636Please respect copyright.PENANAUEP5Z3FkVZ
Dovahkiin: “I for one refuse to become anyone’s slave. I simply want to return to the life I lived before this all occurred.”
636Please respect copyright.PENANAURQfx2QzWB
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.”
636Please respect copyright.PENANAUD3rrb8sON
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.’636Please respect copyright.PENANApmqUsII8al
636Please respect copyright.PENANA9jEXkP3Yal
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.
636Please respect copyright.PENANACjw62C4tg6
She grips her wand tightly, wishing this was all a dream. Unbeknownst to her, there was one that considered her offer.
636Please respect copyright.PENANAHAbI3LsRPQ
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.
636Please respect copyright.PENANAROr6zCwNQc
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.
636Please respect copyright.PENANAQZFw7SGpq9
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.636Please respect copyright.PENANAxoPzZNtWHT
636Please respect copyright.PENANAC1WGhdU44L
She knew intimately what happens in situations like that. Despite her previous obligations, the redhead made her choice.636Please respect copyright.PENANAFxYGkSn4oU
636Please respect copyright.PENANAIVyTcHgu5s
“If a familiar is what you seek, then you shall have one. I agree to be yours.”
636Please respect copyright.PENANAjDFlarmXs2
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.
636Please respect copyright.PENANAHcHHbqeUCL
Dovahkiin: “You!? You would subject yourself as a slave to a child? Where is your pride as a Dovah?”
636Please respect copyright.PENANAu4ANoZmdEQ
“Dovah? I see, that's your word for it. So you can tell?”
636Please respect copyright.PENANAoDFcmW5WbX
Dovahkiin: *Nod*
636Please respect copyright.PENANAEgXDtpM096
“I have my own reasons.”
636Please respect copyright.PENANA8LiEnQU3e7
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.
636Please respect copyright.PENANAzIHL2PZJyD
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?
636Please respect copyright.PENANAdGaEROh0da
Raskreia: “Well I won’t judge you. It’s your choice.”
636Please respect copyright.PENANA4yhVYHgs7R
Louise reapplies her rule of steel mask and starts towards the redhead. She let out an indignant, resigned huff as she raised her wand.
636Please respect copyright.PENANA4hho9Xujxi
Louise: “Consider yourself fortunate, commoner. Normally, you’d never in your life have a noble do this to you.”
636Please respect copyright.PENANAkU1U6bfFEa
Louise: “My name is Louise Francoise Le Blanc de La Valliere. Oh, pentagon that rules the five elements, bless this individual and-”
636Please respect copyright.PENANAMcoy6kcNpt
636Please respect copyright.PENANAv3HEScedjr
‘Did you think this was it?’
636Please respect copyright.PENANA9kr5igrKnI
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.
636Please respect copyright.PENANA0QJinuQi2b
“Louise!?”
636Please respect copyright.PENANA6KFSjo5mJL
Everyone, including the dragon, looks at Louise with concern. Before anyone could go to her and see what’s wrong, something else extraordinary happens.
636Please respect copyright.PENANA2rh3y0ik0h
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.
636Please respect copyright.PENANAETc14WcmJ0
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.
636Please respect copyright.PENANA0h0TnH7rfp
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.
636Please respect copyright.PENANAjslc7t2R4E
Raskeria: “The hell was that?”
636Please respect copyright.PENANA2TA0I1zdyx
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.
636Please respect copyright.PENANAS83r4Nch95
Colbert: “A golem?”
636Please respect copyright.PENANAPJ6LWVScXQ
Dovahkiin: “No, something more.”
636Please respect copyright.PENANABuTvgORSS4
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.
636Please respect copyright.PENANAii0LfzGOFk
Guiche: “Unhand me this instant!”
636Please respect copyright.PENANA8tHF9PwOlA
It didn’t respond instead it brought its other arm up and balled it into a fist.
636Please respect copyright.PENANAMxtGvVbCDO
Guiche: “You would dare hit a noble!? I tell you, my father is a gener-”
636Please respect copyright.PENANAmQ3Ds2rMOk
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.
636Please respect copyright.PENANAkBlHD3YjQd
Colbert: “Mister Grammont!”
636Please respect copyright.PENANAj61q3icTzB
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.
636Please respect copyright.PENANAOAkxnFiiex
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.
636Please respect copyright.PENANAt0P3cBglMW
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.
636Please respect copyright.PENANAPymxDl1bOw
Guiche: “L-Louise?”636Please respect copyright.PENANArolTzJUvpH
636Please respect copyright.PENANAiAq1CDzEBG
Colbert: “But how?”
636Please respect copyright.PENANAiPpvlYvMHH
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.
636Please respect copyright.PENANAcNHv7VXttv
Raskeria: “Can this day get any crazier?”
636Please respect copyright.PENANAGlGPeWC0bd
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.
636Please respect copyright.PENANAqGZZEC6mSL
Guiche: “How dare-”
636Please respect copyright.PENANANjMiWvtJx3
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.
636Please respect copyright.PENANAyB60PP4E7x
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.
636Please respect copyright.PENANA4vi4wH8zJE
Regardless, Dova took the golem and threw it across the field away from the students.
636Please respect copyright.PENANAw2N8QP2Vc6
While this was happening, the redhead took Louise to a safe distance. She could help but she wanted to keep Louise safe for now.
636Please respect copyright.PENANAIE8MebXHb3
Raskeria: “That has to be among the strongest golems I’ve ever seen.”
636Please respect copyright.PENANAHYeis9ey4d
Dovahkiin: “It’s like a Dwemer automation but more…advanced somehow.”
636Please respect copyright.PENANAzDf7osLMHE
Louise?: “I don’t remember you two when I left. Who are you two?”
636Please respect copyright.PENANAP1Qfl4H025
Raskeria: “Talk later, fight now!”
636Please respect copyright.PENANASkVRdZNrF3
Dovahkiin: “YOL TOOR SHUL!”
636Please respect copyright.PENANAkYkybUS75t
The dragon breathes intense heat at the golem while Raskeria casts a strange spell that also shoots bolts of fire.
636Please respect copyright.PENANAVRTTSIBF7p
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.
636Please respect copyright.PENANAFtp67EPmJQ
Raskeria: “Okay, that thing is too dangerous. Disintegrate.”
636Please respect copyright.PENANAMd34QqG69H
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.
636Please respect copyright.PENANA3YBE4LN2M4
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.
636Please respect copyright.PENANABZmunu4N5W
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.
636Please respect copyright.PENANA0KQxBS8Gvk
This proved to be the right choice when the sound of lightning cracked from the cloud of dust.
636Please respect copyright.PENANAI3PQvADFKp
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.
636Please respect copyright.PENANAF5SNvAiMec
Raskeria: “Another one!? To think, I was just hanging out with friends and now I have to fight for my life.”
636Please respect copyright.PENANAcUaWcHkfTo
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.
636Please respect copyright.PENANAjzHjO5DVFS
Eventually, the sound of clicking reached her ears. She disassembled her shield and placed her hands behind her with her palms open.
636Please respect copyright.PENANAJ3IwVYZlKf
Louise 2: ‘Here’s my chanc-”
636Please respect copyright.PENANAp4ZAYFF3sX
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.
636Please respect copyright.PENANAcN9JwxhXcj
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.
636Please respect copyright.PENANAqL1bzRN04r
Raskeria: “Did Louise summon another one? I can’t deny it, that’s impressive.”
636Please respect copyright.PENANAapxX3ViPoT
Louise 2: “Friend or foe?”
636Please respect copyright.PENANA8J4sb6szuO
Jake: “Depends on what happens next. The name’s Jake Logan Anderson, Jake will do.”
636Please respect copyright.PENANA3QdqU0NR0l
Dovahkiin: “FUS RO DAH”
636Please respect copyright.PENANAJsR11vC8ib
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.
636Please respect copyright.PENANAnqZf0MaW6q
Dovahkiin: ‘I need to get used to this body and fast. I hope that was the last of them.’
636Please respect copyright.PENANAlyCuruye7y
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.
636Please respect copyright.PENANAT6DIj1e5k6
Louise 2: “Mr. Colbert!”
636Please respect copyright.PENANAKLxRybpdiw
This seemed to jog the man from his shock.
636Please respect copyright.PENANADTakdOJYLb
Colbert: “Um yes, what do you need Ms….you are Valliere right?”
636Please respect copyright.PENANANOjUjQ2dq5
Louise 2: “Yes. Evacuate everyone from this place right now.”
636Please respect copyright.PENANAKvNaYSToUz
Raskeria: “Why? Isn’t it over?”
636Please respect copyright.PENANA0ebgL2aqDz
Jake: “No, it’s never that easy.”
636Please respect copyright.PENANAly3DcLpPGz
Louise 2: “He’s right, this courtyard isn’t safe anymore.”
636Please respect copyright.PENANAiF8BnThGvz
The doppelganger looked at the strangers she fought with.
636Please respect copyright.PENANA4d6Q4MIjJo
Louise 2: “Can trust one of you to help Colbert protect everyone.”
636Please respect copyright.PENANA3z0QA934Rz
Before any of them could answer, the red-head answered.
636Please respect copyright.PENANAGGcsIhSwGI
“I’ll protect him along with…you I guess.”
636Please respect copyright.PENANAotKDPXBH8X
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.
636Please respect copyright.PENANAH0mLEw0nWf
Louise 2: “And who are you?”
636Please respect copyright.PENANAt0fZjKIM5W
“My name is Aeterna Flamma, your familiar.”
636Please respect copyright.PENANAi5cXMk5m6b
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.
636Please respect copyright.PENANA7jwUHINXQg
Dovahkiin: “Trust her, she is stronger than she looks.”
636Please respect copyright.PENANAcsTJfVEEV7
Louise: 2: “…Fine. I won’t argue with a dragon. Especially not now.”
636Please respect copyright.PENANAKKaWCybTic
Aeterna: “Good, come on everyone.”
636Please respect copyright.PENANAc1OCF64YoS
Colbert: “Y-You heard them, we can’t stay here any-”
636Please respect copyright.PENANAH5baLOvnt9
Suddenly, the sound of something rattling made itself known throughout the courtyard. Louise 2 clicked her tongue.
636Please respect copyright.PENANA2Pk1Kc8cTp
Louise 2: “Go, NOW!”
636Please respect copyright.PENANAh2u0t62O2Z
They followed her order, many out of fear of the sight before them. The 3 golems slowly but surely collapsed into strange black sand.
636Please respect copyright.PENANA48JiGTGNJb
Jake: “What the fuck?! Are these truly machines?”
636Please respect copyright.PENANAwCXzmYQmLV
Raskeria: “I’m starting to question that too.”
636Please respect copyright.PENANA1TSULeJ7mU
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.
636Please respect copyright.PENANA6O5qqgv6u9
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.
636Please respect copyright.PENANAUxgCgwsZls
The arms were next. The left was a massive blade and the right was a massive claw hand.
636Please respect copyright.PENANAOHAIHe7kzA
Finally, the head was bulky enough to discourage any beheading. But the most important part was the lines connecting to the chest area.
636Please respect copyright.PENANAopGSIHfFsq
Louise 2: ‘That’s its weak point.’
636Please respect copyright.PENANAmimbq6s2I6
Its eyes finally light up and lock onto the fighters.
636Please respect copyright.PENANANf4tgJxVVm
Louise 2: “Just my luck, a Ravager.”
636Please respect copyright.PENANAyeZKPX02k7
Raskeria: “A what?”
636Please respect copyright.PENANAo8OyHQ8JMq
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.
636Please respect copyright.PENANALiIw98GRt6
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.
636Please respect copyright.PENANAFCaNZX7AfW
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.
636Please respect copyright.PENANAWPSIeUY2iO
Louise 2: “Go!”
636Please respect copyright.PENANAl3ytFIgWFc
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.
636Please respect copyright.PENANAmr4EvRIUhx
Raskeria aided the group with various spells, mostly fire and stuff like ‘Create Pit’.
636Please respect copyright.PENANA0yGhARjO57
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.
636Please respect copyright.PENANAuwVmPFEGCI
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.
636Please respect copyright.PENANAg1ONCTCoGN
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.
636Please respect copyright.PENANA3cHoOJ97IQ
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.
636Please respect copyright.PENANAV4UfoCPcPa
Raskeria: “Yeah, stay right there. Disintegrate.”
636Please respect copyright.PENANAIeOMpQVPSv
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.
636Please respect copyright.PENANAEOZCYhfKH2
Louise 2: “That won’t be enough! We need to destroy its core.”
636Please respect copyright.PENANAIRuyOZlmPb
Jake: “Where is it then!?”
636Please respect copyright.PENANAIvVzBfAFw1
Louise 2: “It was in its chest but who knows where it will be when it reforms.”
636Please respect copyright.PENANAm9wYBYRQUf
They look back at Rask and she couldn’t help but rub the back of her head.
636Please respect copyright.PENANAlJSIuPXt6E
Raskeria: “My bad.”
636Please respect copyright.PENANA6F3xQglcqF
Jake: “Tch, it’s like fighting a machine version of me.”
636Please respect copyright.PENANAPFqk7gDeO5
Dovahkiin: “FO KRAH DIIN”
636Please respect copyright.PENANAUx50rv7Z0p
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.
636Please respect copyright.PENANAvcuqrAaWXw
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.
636Please respect copyright.PENANAJsOIenDUEO
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.”
636Please respect copyright.PENANAGjGkRTVLus
Raskeria: “What do you mean?”
636Please respect copyright.PENANAji6QJaFgv2
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.”
636Please respect copyright.PENANAb37wLxUWoZ
Jake: “…Fine.”
636Please respect copyright.PENANA7SL6RVJEdD
The other 2 nodded and got into position.
636Please respect copyright.PENANA7qCUWNopvf
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.
636Please respect copyright.PENANAc9FwhiNUFu
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.
636Please respect copyright.PENANAgBrr10gdGG
Louise 2: “You got to be kidding me.”636Please respect copyright.PENANAGbvLku3F0h
636Please respect copyright.PENANAHC7V6xw8Fl
The Ravager started firing at everything below. Raskeria created another shield around everyone to block the heavy bullet fire.
636Please respect copyright.PENANAmihsu7vZ14
Raskeria: “Dovahkiin, this is all you. I’ll focus on protecting everyone while you distract it enough to prevent it from firing.”
636Please respect copyright.PENANActlqYxwZex
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.
636Please respect copyright.PENANAfgo0ON2KHC
Despite Dovah’s best efforts though, Ravager wasn’t that bothered by it’s attacks. That was until Dovah started using more unique shouts.
636Please respect copyright.PENANAYQKxE9vQun
Dovahkiin: “VEN GAAR NOS!”
636Please respect copyright.PENANA87tlvHE9GT
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.
636Please respect copyright.PENANAxwCzDRr0z6
Louise 2: “Great, bring it down quick! I can see where the core is! Focus your attacks on its head!”
636Please respect copyright.PENANAuwjMdFazk2
Raskeria: “I still need to keep the shield on Dovahkiin so I can’t attack.”
636Please respect copyright.PENANAxHXc6LNGhd
Louise 2: “That’s a good thing, just focus on support.”
636Please respect copyright.PENANARC35IWhvxu
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.
636Please respect copyright.PENANALvz8aLLAuZ
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.
636Please respect copyright.PENANAYvagZLIDuj
Raskeria: “Was that…magic?”
636Please respect copyright.PENANAJoXIXbdX3Y
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.”
636Please respect copyright.PENANAfdRwhwlMi9
Dova shrugged it off but still lost some ground. Jake on the other hand was on fire and falling.
636Please respect copyright.PENANAhQ1WP4hjmC
Jake: ‘Of course, it had to use fire and lightning of all things.’
636Please respect copyright.PENANANIJ6hLPevA
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.
636Please respect copyright.PENANAp9bQCzPwbB
It abandoned the dragon and went to delete the living weapon. But before it could, another welcomed surprise appeared. The final and winning variable.
636Please respect copyright.PENANAQaxRx8DmC8
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.
636Please respect copyright.PENANAEpqzvdrBzI
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.
636Please respect copyright.PENANA9JYOiWffnv
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.
636Please respect copyright.PENANAkms8wDtvdf
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.
636Please respect copyright.PENANAaT9lF8WoIT
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.
636Please respect copyright.PENANAcMbEEJqX49
Louise 2: “I don’t know who you are but if you can understand me, keep it down while I end this.”
636Please respect copyright.PENANAZEce2jXkf0
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.
636Please respect copyright.PENANAehTo5IudP7
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.
636Please respect copyright.PENANAbkVG7D2vlw
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.’
636Please respect copyright.PENANAWYaQgBjHvX
The distance between them became smaller.
636Please respect copyright.PENANAPqmta74HGm
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.
636Please respect copyright.PENANAuU7Jttt63C
20 meters
636Please respect copyright.PENANAwqRZbi5kBz
Arcs of pink electricity started to form around her.
636Please respect copyright.PENANApacy9VTijR
15 meters
636Please respect copyright.PENANAPHKkACMqQk
She opened her eyes; her vision was surrounded by plenty of warnings but she dismissed them.
636Please respect copyright.PENANA4RZRxprnRu
10 meters
636Please respect copyright.PENANAJzHge3IOdR
Louise 2: “Adapt to this!”
636Please respect copyright.PENANAznN1qxpyz9
5 meters
636Please respect copyright.PENANAkbV5X2KqhL
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.
636Please respect copyright.PENANAw4MvTDnwO2
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.
636Please respect copyright.PENANA9agsnIeXx2
The sonic boom made it into everyone’s ears. Students screamed and even the fighters had to cover their ears as the ground quaked.
636Please respect copyright.PENANAfK9RHtKPqs
The fighters aside from Jake ran up to the aftermath of the attack. Colbert also came running despite Aeterna’s warning.
636Please respect copyright.PENANAk2vAj8BDYb
Good news, the Ravager now sported a missing head. Bad news, behind the Ravager was a badly damaged Louise 2.
636Please respect copyright.PENANAv50KinGg3J
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.
636Please respect copyright.PENANAN3ymp5gEtY
Raskeria: “Okay, that looks terrible. But I can fix this.”
636Please respect copyright.PENANA7U1ZsZdT9j
She started to create ice to cool her down before applying healing magic. But before she could a voice stopped her.
636Please respect copyright.PENANAgqHWRdaCRZ
“STOP, YOU’RE GOING TO KILL HER!”
636Please respect copyright.PENANA23g02kJ4e2
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.
636Please respect copyright.PENANAfCJuefTybx
Colbert: “Stop, any closer and we’ll consider you an enemy!”
636Please respect copyright.PENANAW8OaVZGASj
Raskeria: “I vote enemy, where was he when everything was going wrong?”
636Please respect copyright.PENANAB5zTTwM22O
Louise 2: “B-Bench? I-Is that…y-you?”
636Please respect copyright.PENANAvRXIOkOT5O
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.
636Please respect copyright.PENANALThT3ajPbl
Colbert: “Miss Valliere!”
636Please respect copyright.PENANAZ0xo8Scs8k
Louise 2: “Please…let Bench…come to me…professor.”
636Please respect copyright.PENANASAIduc6RhD
Raskeria: “But what about my magic? I can heal you good as new.”
636Please respect copyright.PENANAZICCMH6Adb
Louise 2: “Don’t…I…d-don’t know…what effect it…will h-have.”
636Please respect copyright.PENANAXtFAKFnPQb
Bench: “Listen to her, I know what to do. Trust me, she’s in good hands.”
636Please respect copyright.PENANAxg4ySHAcA0
Raskeria: “…Fine. This whole thing is beyond me anyway.”
636Please respect copyright.PENANA3Rixz8gYUb
Heeding his words, Raskeria and Colbert moved out of the way. Bench approached Louise 2 and a blue line scanned her entire being.
636Please respect copyright.PENANAtT0pBzHyjK
Bench: “You’ve really done it this time Louise.”
636Please respect copyright.PENANAARARuRrcJH
Louise 2: “Why does…it…matter…I destroyed…the Ravager.”
636Please respect copyright.PENANAgkPdYfP7u9
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.”
636Please respect copyright.PENANAAXPefEkIPf
Raskeria: ‘You mean what I was going to do?’
636Please respect copyright.PENANAZ2XtnaYfka
Louise 2: “Then would…this help?”
636Please respect copyright.PENANASGyxq4UnNM
She asks while letting go of a red orb that was giving a low hum.
636Please respect copyright.PENANA61FXsws0VD
Bench: “Is that what I think it is?”
636Please respect copyright.PENANAiEhghSKEcE
Louise 2: “Y-You bet…it is.”
636Please respect copyright.PENANA0eUwkgtd7N
A blue line passed over the orb from Bench.
636Please respect copyright.PENANAs3infvngmR
Bench: “I can’t believe it, a Ravager core.”
636Please respect copyright.PENANAwU0neJELw5
Raskeria: “You mean that’s what we were fighting to destroy? Why is it intact?”
636Please respect copyright.PENANAqfdfRVCpDR
Bench: “Because this might be the only sure way to save Louise.”
636Please respect copyright.PENANAanJnFUPw4M
Raskeria: “Magic is out but the core of that monster is okay?”
636Please respect copyright.PENANAACzGVA7ocG
Dovahkiin: “I agree, destroy it.”
636Please respect copyright.PENANAut6L87DAT7
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?”
636Please respect copyright.PENANAFAVNBzAIkn
Raskeria: “No but I’m keeping my eye on you…and that.”
636Please respect copyright.PENANAAORFuQhQBF
Bench: “By all means.”
636Please respect copyright.PENANAl4zr46nRDt
Louise 2: “So…can you…d-do it Bench?”
636Please respect copyright.PENANAVA7waTDGsn
Bench: “Do you know who you’re talking to?
636Please respect copyright.PENANASKyQAQsVYC
Louise 2: “That’s…good.”
636Please respect copyright.PENANAIkdjjgFbSq
Louise 2 finally succumbs to her wounds and passes out. Bench looks to Colbert and gives a stern order.
636Please respect copyright.PENANArHhGF2mmr8
Bench: “Take me to where your clinic is, I have a Hunter to repair!”
636Please respect copyright.PENANAaAyfDDWEPZ
Jake: “Wait a minute!”
636Please respect copyright.PENANAdJoIshj6Wf
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.
636Please respect copyright.PENANAZS3pAM36Uc
Bench: “What are you doing?!”
636Please respect copyright.PENANA8cz7y0gZU1
Jake: “Just because I helped defeat that thing doesn’t mean we’re allies. I need answers!”
636Please respect copyright.PENANAL4CWXeyAk0
Raskeria: “Calm down Jake, do you really want to fight everyone here?”
636Please respect copyright.PENANAJKIdAFSDOn
Jake: “…I’ll do what I have to.”
636Please respect copyright.PENANAX5RAPNHpSS
Colbert: “W-What do you want to know?”
636Please respect copyright.PENANAonSbdbr6n2
Bench: “We don’t have time for this! Louise will die if Colbert doesn’t show me to the clinic.”
636Please respect copyright.PENANA97E3fNBPa4
Jake: “I don’t care.”
636Please respect copyright.PENANAcT7DxPcTQQ
Bench: “You-”
636Please respect copyright.PENANAidmv9oX6hX
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.
636Please respect copyright.PENANA7cb8AGOXjS
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.
636Please respect copyright.PENANAtlinm59M2g
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.
636Please respect copyright.PENANAUQVehupBck
“Can you understand me?”
636Please respect copyright.PENANAXUbm6Sdja7
Raskeria: ‘A translation spell? Oh, he’s good.’
636Please respect copyright.PENANA2SCBtjYqeg
Colbert: “Y-Yes.”
636Please respect copyright.PENANAHdH1eYiDS8
“Wonderful, my name is Zander and I’ll take them to the clinic.”
636Please respect copyright.PENANAu65coSJkuh
Colbert: “But how? You don’t know the way.”
636Please respect copyright.PENANAFnVeNHgIKd
Zander: “I’ll ask one of the students or the staff. I’m sure they’ll help.”
636Please respect copyright.PENANAYwqImGsWHj
With a slight twist of his wrist, Louise begins to float off the ground.
636Please respect copyright.PENANA4r1QailnQc
Zander: “Shall we go Bench?”
636Please respect copyright.PENANAW5MCvtdudO
Bench: “Yes, quickly now.”
636Please respect copyright.PENANAVskI6GtjAF
They begin to leave but before that Zander gives a sharp glare to Jake.

Zander: “I hope I don’t have to come back here and deal with you Jake. I rather we be friends than enemies.”
636Please respect copyright.PENANAZ08RI94IrL
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.
636Please respect copyright.PENANAC6CrxC6yso
No one said a word until Zander was gone.
636Please respect copyright.PENANAdIM5V1pCZ0
Colbert: “Okay, so what do you want to know Jake.”
636Please respect copyright.PENANAZG94ohzn1a
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…”
636Please respect copyright.PENANAiqa4IyL1Jk
Jake brings his blade a bit closer to Colbert which makes everyone tense up, ready for another fight.
636Please respect copyright.PENANAdizMm0DkEK
Jake: “You will take me back to New York.”
636Please respect copyright.PENANAFwVnyp5zD5
Colbert: “I’m sorry but…there’s no way back. None that we know of.”
636Please respect copyright.PENANAMUZrfL9IYJ
The moment those words left his mouth, he felt the urge to slice off his head.
636Please respect copyright.PENANA6pZctDijGi
No way to get back to New York meant Blackwatch ran free and the only family he has left was in danger.
636Please respect copyright.PENANAKMBv3L9QjP
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.
636Please respect copyright.PENANAIiEYQqbrtA
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.
636Please respect copyright.PENANAmVpoK0GPOu
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!”
636Please respect copyright.PENANAHv1iP1valK
Colbert: “Sir, I’m truly sorry but there is no way to reverse this.”
636Please respect copyright.PENANArDA23hTWwC
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.
636Please respect copyright.PENANAXHHaHFnME6
Raskeria: “There might be a way.”
636Please respect copyright.PENANALFFrSqgXs6
Everyone turned toward the girl. Jake’s eyes widened with relief but also slow-cooking anger.
636Please respect copyright.PENANAxZXPY2jgsm
Jake: “Tell me.”
636Please respect copyright.PENANADgYBuBwXvA
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.”
636Please respect copyright.PENANAy7A8Ftyhkq
Jake: “Then-”
636Please respect copyright.PENANAPCZKbcORYj
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…”
636Please respect copyright.PENANAnosUmjw1cc
Jake: “Or?”
636Please respect copyright.PENANAYmJ4OsrB9V
Raskeria: “Learn magic and go yourself.”
636Please respect copyright.PENANAL2ijYDVPIg
Colbert: “Learn magic?”
636Please respect copyright.PENANATijrsbf0Q6
Raskeria: “Yeah, it will be hard but it can be done.”
636Please respect copyright.PENANA1qPTU4wikM
Jake: “…”
636Please respect copyright.PENANAIma6pWZJSr
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.
636Please respect copyright.PENANARhwL32g4ZB
But still, time is of the essence. He can’t be gone for long.
636Please respect copyright.PENANAE1ADqYIWpF
Jake: “How long would it take for me to learn.”
636Please respect copyright.PENANAO0AhbQukrT
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.”
636Please respect copyright.PENANArO9yaCU8MM
Jake: ‘Years!? No, I don’t have that kind of time. I’ll leave that as a backup.’
636Please respect copyright.PENANAtrvSavn0pS
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.”
636Please respect copyright.PENANAayNgtpH0X6
Raskeria: “Sure, sure. Right now though, I’m tired. I’m going home and telling everyone what happened. See you. ‘gate’.”
636Please respect copyright.PENANAVaJnWpMOev
A rip in reality appears behind Raskeria. She yawns and goes through which causes it to close.
636Please respect copyright.PENANAnZpxhYxrwz
Jake: ‘Tch, she better make good on our deal. Or I have another person on my list to kill here.’
636Please respect copyright.PENANARRjWyqIuLT
Jake: *Sigh*
636Please respect copyright.PENANAr1iHGyrBfb
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.”
636Please respect copyright.PENANA4FwkYbTXnw
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.
636Please respect copyright.PENANAI3TcAxcz9r
Colbert: “Well, you’re the last one. What will you do?”
636Please respect copyright.PENANAU6ucmgcLRC
Dovahkiin: “Stay for now. Jake’s situation seemed more serious than mine so he can get the gate treatment first. Besides…”
636Please respect copyright.PENANA8p4IQLNosN
Dovahkiin: ‘It’s not all Louise’s fault that I ended up here. Damn that dedric prince.’
636Please respect copyright.PENANAXgW8w1szb7
Colbert: “Yes?”
636Please respect copyright.PENANAntuSZwmCOW
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.”
636Please respect copyright.PENANAansZ3uDbJJ
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.
636Please respect copyright.PENANAiRkmsM4CpL
Colbert: “Brimir save us, what has Louise unleashed…”
636Please respect copyright.PENANAztrbXZ184R
[Louise’s Room]
636Please respect copyright.PENANABuADgQ3GJv
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.
636Please respect copyright.PENANAE35SUgae2g
She gently takes her to the bed and lies her down.
636Please respect copyright.PENANAMpAUMip4ZV
Aeterna: “Already, that power is drawing dangerous things to you.”
636Please respect copyright.PENANAygoOorqJpA
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.
636Please respect copyright.PENANACAMn3LaSQD
Aeterna: “Did she really expect me to sleep on that? I guess she was expecting an animal though.”
636Please respect copyright.PENANAURzB9JQdJk
She looks down at her body and remembers that she’s still wearing lingerie.
636Please respect copyright.PENANApaaPauXwmS
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.”
636Please respect copyright.PENANAHuSTZ0ZeAT
With that thought, Aeterna leaves the room.
636Please respect copyright.PENANACXZkq6oHC3
…
…
636Please respect copyright.PENANA73knKkRijW
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.
636Please respect copyright.PENANAHqYzO6viLJ
‘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.’
636Please respect copyright.PENANAGntl9yEXNr
‘Hehe, I’m getting excited. Sweet dreams Louise.’
636Please respect copyright.PENANA8nCEIcTyMr
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.
636Please respect copyright.PENANAtl16JMu534
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.
636Please respect copyright.PENANA20e836u9Zs
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.
636Please respect copyright.PENANADME2XJjW8U
Among the clouds and across the forest, more rips threaten to form.
636Please respect copyright.PENANAo3vQ5NuO6i
‘Let the games begin.’

636Please respect copyright.PENANAktBNl9dQAn
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.
636Please respect copyright.PENANAaOrPbaG684
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.
636Please respect copyright.PENANAqR3IfOg9lk
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.
