Tech: ‘The hell is happening…to me…’
161Please respect copyright.PENANARzJtrcC7Pk
161Please respect copyright.PENANAtEsxqfOQHi
Ever since yesterday, Tech felt weak and closer to death than he’s ever felt. The nanobathes and other healing procedures are only slowing whatever is happening.
161Please respect copyright.PENANABWKbjrHlVu
161Please respect copyright.PENANAPUkh4vJ8zL
The lack of sleep is only making things worse. Doesn’t sound scientific but he felt that if he did fall asleep, he wouldn’t wake up.
161Please respect copyright.PENANAr1caJSqpD5
161Please respect copyright.PENANA0TP0jQko6a
So Tech is using all of his energy to try and isolate the cause of his condition. But his mind is getting weaker by the minute and the act of keying commands is putting further strain on his body.
161Please respect copyright.PENANAIhIop9ZGoR
161Please respect copyright.PENANAicvHzq2Q7o
Tech: ‘This…is…not…how I’ll…go out.’
161Please respect copyright.PENANAw0Cu1pFMJ0
161Please respect copyright.PENANAHKNCJLLI3j
Before succumbing to whatever is happening, he hits a red button on his keyboard. The last thing he hears before blacking out is the emergency alarm and the activation of one of his latest creations.
161Please respect copyright.PENANABWteqaWVU9
161Please respect copyright.PENANAUObodMTUmX
Dove hasn’t had a good rest like this in a very long time. Tech might be a bit weird when it came to his tastes in design but he delivered on her room. The bed was like sleeping on a cloud.
161Please respect copyright.PENANAam7yGZDsMj
161Please respect copyright.PENANAjW6rgc6vsB
So when the alarm slammed into her ears, she was tempted to ignore it. But her battle instincts and the feeling of dread demanded her to get up.
161Please respect copyright.PENANA5XiA1Exahk
161Please respect copyright.PENANADyG9zczxKg
Dove: “What is happening? Why is everything red?”
161Please respect copyright.PENANAjTqRmnJOBM
161Please respect copyright.PENANAuA1dCL2BPX
Her door suddenly opened and she was ready to blow the intruder away. That was until she recognized it as one of Tech’s flying golems. But it was what it said that made her tense.
161Please respect copyright.PENANAtBYLOchSwH

“EMERGENCY. CREATOR IN CRITICAL CONDITION. ASSISTANCE REQUIRED.”

161Please respect copyright.PENANAaSpirIDQG4
Dove: “Take me to him!”
161Please respect copyright.PENANAiqvLgmeu7K
161Please respect copyright.PENANA8f51nbCTgB
No more words were needed, the golem flew toward where Tech was. Dove easily kept up and subconsciously prepared the best healing spell she had.
161Please respect copyright.PENANAcuX7fABJ6H
161Please respect copyright.PENANAdKk9wBZDKH
Dove: ‘Screw your beliefs on magic, I’m not letting you die Tech.’
161Please respect copyright.PENANAI2tlKarkv5
161Please respect copyright.PENANAh1K2wwgXdR
It didn’t take long to get to Tech’s room. The sight wasn’t good. Tech was faced down on the ground, pale, barely breathing and the steel plates on him was glowing red.
161Please respect copyright.PENANAUuCUkO0KXH
161Please respect copyright.PENANAVPdXQcqAKr
Not wasting time, Dove turned him over and used Healing Hands on his body. Every 10 seconds she would switch to Heal Other to deliver a more powerful burst of healing before returning to Healing Hands.
161Please respect copyright.PENANA1bv2i9Fk1Q
161Please respect copyright.PENANADRazoNIdel
A warm golden light enveloped his body but…it wasn’t working well. It was like whatever was affecting him was fighting against her magic. Only magic could fight against magic like this.
161Please respect copyright.PENANA7La6kQ8B96
161Please respect copyright.PENANAha7sr2cnUX
Dove: ‘But who? No, that’s not important right now.’
161Please respect copyright.PENANAAARB1iopmQ
161Please respect copyright.PENANAsmp52pxc10
Dove turns to the floating golem before giving her orders.
161Please respect copyright.PENANALqtAucZDNO
161Please respect copyright.PENANA9irreSRAJr
Dove: “Golem I-
161Please respect copyright.PENANAnojd1BCswe
161Please respect copyright.PENANAa9F5mPlESE
Doctor: “THIS UNIT IS CALLED DOCTOR.”
161Please respect copyright.PENANAtbtnTzMsVE
161Please respect copyright.PENANAZIJ0BxRQiE
Dove: “Doctor, I need to stay with Tech and continue healing him. But I don’t have infinite magicka and the spell affecting him is powerful. I need you to get Flamma or Zander here now!”
161Please respect copyright.PENANAOMmNDggd4p
161Please respect copyright.PENANApfz8apquNb
Doctor: “ACKNOWLEDGED.”
161Please respect copyright.PENANAEAlUSZQguR
161Please respect copyright.PENANA8dfjSgKje5
With that, the flying golem left to get the needed assistance.
161Please respect copyright.PENANAszsERrctTB
161Please respect copyright.PENANABpCgTye7Hk
Dove: “Hold on Tech, help is coming.”
161Please respect copyright.PENANAhnLdYW7LpK
161Please respect copyright.PENANAfSa1z9IsA3
Flamma: ‘You know, maybe I should have took the bed…’
161Please respect copyright.PENANAJzkXKUCZhj
161Please respect copyright.PENANAYI5M0gPlhh
She may be a dragon goddesses but sleeping on hay is never pleasant. She hasn’t even had a chance to spread her wings so the soreness was especially bad.
161Please respect copyright.PENANAQbuQcs1gUz
161Please respect copyright.PENANAyC5UoJfcxT
But that discomfort left when she noticed something. Louise was up and looking at the rising sun with an unreadable expression.
161Please respect copyright.PENANA9MmnIaJw93
161Please respect copyright.PENANA2XICikVOtA
Flamma: “Louise, are you alright?”
161Please respect copyright.PENANAXFVrAhRqZy
161Please respect copyright.PENANAUqAVTZR62y
A slight nervous jump, one she tried to cover but Flamma caught it.
161Please respect copyright.PENANA6bSYo6Vybx
161Please respect copyright.PENANA6bGIs7uv1H
Louise: “Of course, it was just what we spoke about yesterday. It’s still a lot to take in.”
161Please respect copyright.PENANAdk2m2Wrwg9
161Please respect copyright.PENANAnipvPdR3Kd
Flamma: ‘I only told her about how I was worshiped by some civilizations once, long ago. Nothing about the champions I blessed or how they betrayed me. Or how this world seems so similar to my own or her own hidden power. Her mind shouldn’t have been blown that hard.’
161Please respect copyright.PENANAK0w7hiQQlV
161Please respect copyright.PENANAhoRzKCWfBZ
Flamma: “Are you sure? I’m here for you, you know.”
161Please respect copyright.PENANAmGz6v0SkI0
161Please respect copyright.PENANAIWNHl9x3UR
That only made Louise slightly frown.
161Please respect copyright.PENANAvTEeKDQLQU
161Please respect copyright.PENANAChgUcpPceh
Louise: “I know.”
161Please respect copyright.PENANAiQG42dEB7l
161Please respect copyright.PENANAFJOym9jqGD
An awkward silence filled room. Flamma wanted to say something but her tongue was tied. Something was wrong but she couldn’t tell what. But some hope slipped in when Louise decided to break the silence.
161Please respect copyright.PENANAx15AYN45qq
161Please respect copyright.PENANAx6da8QRfgM
Louise: “T-Today is the day of void, a free day. We could-”
161Please respect copyright.PENANAGafsvzAKjo
161Please respect copyright.PENANAOUdgWNr8Fy
Before she could finish, a flying golem crashed through the window, sending glass everywhere. Faster than Louise could react, Flamma was in front of her in case any glass hit her.
161Please respect copyright.PENANASVSIizF4zW
161Please respect copyright.PENANAp3j4S4zIlP
Flamma: “The hell!”
161Please respect copyright.PENANANTYLGcTrBz
161Please respect copyright.PENANANe7DBAmDJL
Doctor: ““EMERGENCY. CREATOR IN CRITICAL CONDITION. ASSISTANCE REQUESTED BY ALLY DOVE.”
161Please respect copyright.PENANA8b1t840rKG
161Please respect copyright.PENANApmPfdHimzh
Flamma: “Tech…”
161Please respect copyright.PENANAXcRvCR0Soq
161Please respect copyright.PENANA0UErrgYVwU
Flamma immediately let go of Louise, went to the window and prepared to stretch out her wings for a soft landing. But first…
161Please respect copyright.PENANAV7hIW3zvHo
161Please respect copyright.PENANAmUZQjCAh2o
Flamma: “Louise, don’t tell Siesta. I wouldn’t want her to worry herself to death. I’ll make sure Tech is alright. But just in case, find Zander.”
161Please respect copyright.PENANAZg1m4UaS2F
161Please respect copyright.PENANAIHgsyASj94
Doctor: “THIS UNIT WILL ACCOMPLISH THAT TASK.”
161Please respect copyright.PENANArg3AYGCYJa
161Please respect copyright.PENANApqj66JIOXF
It says before flying out the window in search of Zander.
161Please respect copyright.PENANAJUnfdrVAEj
161Please respect copyright.PENANAPVzOY06rZA
Flamma: “Oh…well…just don’t tell Siesta then. Darn it, just when we need Raskreia. I’m sure she has some healing spells.”
161Please respect copyright.PENANAaTr8Zh2NRJ
161Please respect copyright.PENANAuiFkh6mUeO
With that, Flamma jumped out the window, aiming for Tech’s base. Unbeknownst to her though, the shadows of Louise’s room were moving.
161Please respect copyright.PENANAUga0PUGN4A
161Please respect copyright.PENANAQfHiYymnPZ
Aeron: “He’s still alive? Impressive.”
161Please respect copyright.PENANAtMzpxPNGGI
161Please respect copyright.PENANA6WydetDfka
Louise spun around to see Aeron in the shadows.
161Please respect copyright.PENANAFoY7bbZHZm
161Please respect copyright.PENANAe0za93I9WR
Louise: “You did this!?”
161Please respect copyright.PENANASwRcuBWrW2
161Please respect copyright.PENANAd4GNHCq1IE
Aeron: “I wanted to surprise Siesta with Tech’s reanimated corpse but it seems I underestimated his ability to stay alive. But it seems he will die soon enough. Good idea by the way.”
161Please respect copyright.PENANAKPPoo0EMu1
161Please respect copyright.PENANAwLW2Ftnhyh
Louise: “Huh?”
161Please respect copyright.PENANAkkrioJNGPO
161Please respect copyright.PENANAzykeSArsiM
Aeron: “This free day offers us a good chance. I’m even surprised that you were going to suggest the same thing.”
161Please respect copyright.PENANAlLtui8MCWx
161Please respect copyright.PENANA9FKGOXhkal
Louise: “What do you mean?”
161Please respect copyright.PENANA25EAilKRsh
161Please respect copyright.PENANAF9GntbzROC
Aeron: “Don’t plan innocent. You were planning on learning more about Flamma for your future battle with her. Gathering information is important when fighting someone superior.”
161Please respect copyright.PENANAq4RuKORuiV
161Please respect copyright.PENANA6rZY84bKLI
Louise: “That’s-”
161Please respect copyright.PENANAsV175UzlTu
161Please respect copyright.PENANAsBkzUZvMHt
Aeron: “Good call. Do that while I teach Siesta. Then when you get back, I’ll do the same for you. But be warned, my methods of teaching aren’t for the weak willed.”
161Please respect copyright.PENANAlzk8apWaeZ
161Please respect copyright.PENANAcakYTEDDDQ
With that, Aeron faded into the shadows, leaving Louise in the fog of indecision.
161Please respect copyright.PENANA1lc2lOnIfO
161Please respect copyright.PENANAWhFXUlC7eU
She didn’t want to get up from her bed. Deep down, she could feel that today would be another test of her heart.
161Please respect copyright.PENANANcLmw9C8hx
161Please respect copyright.PENANAlaSs1i8GmE
He knew something would eventually happen. This was suppose to be a vacation of sorts but the wheels of fate continue to mess with him.
161Please respect copyright.PENANAlahgiVMyDW
161Please respect copyright.PENANAQ0GmdrZCru
Zander could feel it in his bones. Something was happening in this world and who ever attacked Tech was just the first sign.
161Please respect copyright.PENANALDjOCs7jza
161Please respect copyright.PENANAbesnKLOwfg
He spent most of the night in the library alongside Colbert, learning more about the magic of this world. He even decided to sleep there, a much better option than in Kirche’s bed.
161Please respect copyright.PENANAkOWunqYIMi
161Please respect copyright.PENANAklQYbbItsw
The morning was peaceful until one of Tech’s golems found him and told him the news. He teleported outside Tech’s home and Flamma led him inside.
161Please respect copyright.PENANAmFmZUMG6UR
161Please respect copyright.PENANAf4wi6tWSi9
When they got inside, they found Dove healing a pale Tech but she was sweating bullets. She won’t last long like that…
161Please respect copyright.PENANAkXgInKOzLL
161Please respect copyright.PENANAPODwFCHvsN
Dove: “Please tell me one of you can use healing magic.”
161Please respect copyright.PENANA6Rc2DBArbi
161Please respect copyright.PENANAdIaRPTdHNC
Flamma: “…Sorry, I don’t.”
161Please respect copyright.PENANAfGhMxejoA2
161Please respect copyright.PENANApeGlgifS4q
Zander: “No, but I know alchemy. Whether this place has the materials to make something for healing is up in the air. But looking at him, I don’t think we have time.”
161Please respect copyright.PENANA9aNvrqRgLS
161Please respect copyright.PENANAuBXX11D484
Doctor: “AGREED. ALLY FLAMMA AND ALLEY ZANDER SHOULD PRIORITIZE HELPING CREATOR TO THE NANOBATH WHILE ALLY DOVE CONTINUES TO HEAL HIM.”
161Please respect copyright.PENANAdQEgap26yb
161Please respect copyright.PENANAKYmshpU73r
With no more words needed, Zander and Flamma helped Tech to the Nanobathes while Dove used the remaining energy she has to keep Tech alive.
161Please respect copyright.PENANAud1h4vEKlV
161Please respect copyright.PENANAsCBFvuBwnI
Doctor led the group to the nanobath and directed them on how to place Tech inside. Afterwards, Dove fell to her knees.
161Please respect copyright.PENANALCRR7MgbbY
161Please respect copyright.PENANAu7WdvIzAkd
Flamma: “Dove, are you alright!?”
161Please respect copyright.PENANA31o5ss2Yaf
161Please respect copyright.PENANAXbBXBa4CtN
Dove: “Just tired. But I have feeling that this won’t be enough to save Tech.”
161Please respect copyright.PENANAnDhxToCcmH
161Please respect copyright.PENANAh4remE4Awe
Doctor: “NEGATIVE. AN UNKNOWN ENERGY SIGNATURE HAS INFECTED CREATOR. NANOBATH WILL KEEP HIM STABLE BUT UNCONSCIOUS. IF INFECTION IS NOT REMOVED THEN CREATOR WILL CEASE FUNCTIONING.”
161Please respect copyright.PENANALZt3aWaILb
161Please respect copyright.PENANAkPDms2djBK
Flamma: “Damn it! When I get my hands on the bastard who did this…”
161Please respect copyright.PENANAWjGITa60NX
161Please respect copyright.PENANAcqyfdNhFCZ
The whites of her eyes briefly darken while her teeth sharpen, ready to tear into the one who harmed her new friend.
161Please respect copyright.PENANACgMohVGPgd
161Please respect copyright.PENANA4he6zADKTB
Zander: “But we must first heal Tech. Then we can find the one responsible. I’ll return to my own world and see if I can’t find something.”
161Please respect copyright.PENANAopE7tChhZQ
161Please respect copyright.PENANACzgeYCvekK
Zander raises his hand to open a portal home but…nothing happened. His eyes widen at his inability to bend space-time to his will.
161Please respect copyright.PENANAEbMmvykZ5E
161Please respect copyright.PENANAVoDP2GJJzN
Flamma: “Zander?”
161Please respect copyright.PENANAqTsv7kcU0Q
161Please respect copyright.PENANAZYHCCyiwZF
Zander: “Impossible…even the gods couldn’t…”
161Please respect copyright.PENANAdqDwuXHFv1
161Please respect copyright.PENANAVcG9xyrQW0
Suddenly, he felt a pair of feminine but otherworldly eyes on his back. Zander spun around and nearly blasted everything to kingdom come. But he quickly realized nothing was there.
161Please respect copyright.PENANAwN2Zj8QUhA
161Please respect copyright.PENANAW64w5FY45t
Zander: “Just my luck…”
161Please respect copyright.PENANApLGeaJpcUP
161Please respect copyright.PENANAPorFiTTg57
Dove: “What’s happening?”
161Please respect copyright.PENANApVkFXvRBWb
161Please respect copyright.PENANAT97ep3SmsX
Zander: “I don’t know, but someone, something, locked down this dimension. At least to me anyway. No more teleporting home.”
161Please respect copyright.PENANAOyq4h7vmfq
161Please respect copyright.PENANAF8xZjB7xuB
Zander ignored the sore feeling of not being able to see the priestesses again and focused on the immediate issue. Whatever is behind this clearly means them harm. They’ll need everything they have to survive this.
161Please respect copyright.PENANAr8kLOGavrk
161Please respect copyright.PENANAxZAXDGyZ5Q
Dove: “There goes summoning any of the Dragons I know or conjuration magic. It’s not like this is place is close to oblivion or something.”
161Please respect copyright.PENANAvjU6Wno8t9
161Please respect copyright.PENANAqqCuo4DUMX
Flamma: “But if this world is locked down, what will happen to Raskreia?”
161Please respect copyright.PENANA2QbI78seIY
161Please respect copyright.PENANAe9laAkDeKH
Silence.
161Please respect copyright.PENANAWU2C2CzbBS
161Please respect copyright.PENANAeesHLzeSaL
A pitch black emptiness.
161Please respect copyright.PENANAIkVSwT0jWN
161Please respect copyright.PENANAy1QSOdVlpp
That’s what she wakes up to. It was suppose to be a simple plane hopping adventure. But as soon as she stepped through her portal, darkness took her.
161Please respect copyright.PENANAcvJ3IqGGn0
161Please respect copyright.PENANAjlWB4gMiV9
But even as she regain consciousness, darkness still had her. But that’s not what really frighten her, it was the fact she can’t use gate anymore.
161Please respect copyright.PENANAMm5y33M2hd
161Please respect copyright.PENANAkAMmRY7BwP
Where was she?
161Please respect copyright.PENANAMiA2q9ZxGS
161Please respect copyright.PENANAERFfEx4WXU
This was no plane she was familiar with.
161Please respect copyright.PENANAtn30XAlnwa
161Please respect copyright.PENANAVVaCkii3Ax
Raskreia: “Haha…this must be some kind of joke. I-”
161Please respect copyright.PENANAV4aGCWgQGB
…
161Please respect copyright.PENANAXdtRk0znnT
Raskreia: “What?”
161Please respect copyright.PENANA77BHtZJWAx
…161Please respect copyright.PENANAn1NgUG5lFR
161Please respect copyright.PENANAJpwsWffcFz
Raskreia: “W-Who-”
161Please respect copyright.PENANACZtWBMcyNA
161Please respect copyright.PENANAWbfx1KOJGG
Bad…
161Please respect copyright.PENANAFGjS35Mp6T
161Please respect copyright.PENANAYH61vF9YGw
Raskreia: “!”
161Please respect copyright.PENANAl1vJqYHdtO
161Please respect copyright.PENANAx2FKbbFFXG
Girl…
161Please respect copyright.PENANAuSKLvxnxUZ
161Please respect copyright.PENANAT2IEMsQ5fL
Everywhere. Softly at first but every moment increasingly louder.
161Please respect copyright.PENANAGpCJWoE9pm
161Please respect copyright.PENANA0WbTJRlFr3
Bad Girl.
161Please respect copyright.PENANAXPdW10H0tt
161Please respect copyright.PENANAWYdU7hRluD
Over and over and over and over and over again. Hammering her head until it was the only thing she could hear.
161Please respect copyright.PENANA072yeOd1s6
161Please respect copyright.PENANAY5hs3n9QLW
Raskreia: “Shut up!!”
161Please respect copyright.PENANAFHYS94LlMQ
161Please respect copyright.PENANAQjryXa3was
She unleashed all the magic she could in all directions. That is…she was suppose to.
161Please respect copyright.PENANAcJHuJRf8hG
161Please respect copyright.PENANAvWzgQIrulJ
Any magic she unleashed was quickly smothered and eaten by the surrounding void.
161Please respect copyright.PENANA2rYj4x5b3V
161Please respect copyright.PENANAATjT56Bkjn
Now there was another sound echoing in her skull.
161Please respect copyright.PENANAoxd08Jb6Nt
161Please respect copyright.PENANAHOiZWw6mg7
Hollow like us.
161Please respect copyright.PENANArzNQkt26nY
161Please respect copyright.PENANAIn3db3uGBJ
Looking down she can see her body disappearing into the dark. Inch by inch, she was being swallowed. She could kick and scream, but nothing would save her. No one would hear her scream.
161Please respect copyright.PENANAQ1tWjKYpNX
161Please respect copyright.PENANAwNfVOrZulh
And if they have their way, no on will remember her either.
161Please respect copyright.PENANAH1MH9I38Cc
161Please respect copyright.PENANA45FUx4Mltg
Raskreia: “WHY!”
161Please respect copyright.PENANAtVoMvCpQSE
161Please respect copyright.PENANAl6lKzX39fX
Silence is her answer.
161Please respect copyright.PENANAqeykm9Y83C
161Please respect copyright.PENANANrgD56UT0Z
Or so, they would have liked. But a bright light appeared behind her and quickly after, a hand ripped her from the now screaming darkness.
161Please respect copyright.PENANAmOKO6Dtm0U
161Please respect copyright.PENANAKKAB7sI7X4
The next thing Raskreia knew, she was in a lush green forest. In what world, she didn’t care. She could feel relief. She checked her body to make sure nothing was missing before turning to her savior.
161Please respect copyright.PENANAj6v31PPKss
161Please respect copyright.PENANA5WSCpyZK9n
He was a human but the power coming off of him was unlike anything she has felt. His face worn and torn from what seems like several eternities. He wore an old tattered blue robe with white patterns adoring its surface.
161Please respect copyright.PENANAEsq0n0qNxO
161Please respect copyright.PENANAg7uofkSFh1
Raskreia: “Thank you but…who are you?”
161Please respect copyright.PENANABxaB2PPRGG
161Please respect copyright.PENANAgtS7XnLPhy
“My name Jace Beleren, the last planeswalker.”
