Welcome, to my first fan fic. After years, I finally gave in and tried a few.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAlC6EW9eZKr
Mostly crossovers.
447Please respect copyright.PENANABaDKjOA5RU
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAyQiFxThIHQ
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAeCx8ltXtli
They will be listed at the end of this one-shot.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAjgWtFIjWz8
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAvsiceEQj1q
This is version 1 after all. If I can perfect the foundation and people like it, then I can continue.
447Please respect copyright.PENANACbb1PHS03F
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANA9tf7uFjt2X
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAsKoGUyOjL8
With that out of the way, let’s dive into this slice of eternity in a moment.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAGPv3KncWXn
447Please respect copyright.PENANAdk3b0EWPYY
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAqY5qikOovW
Aside from that though, they were also anxious. Anxious about what kind of familiar they would get.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAmJjBaGFWqc
A summoned familiar mirrors their master’s personality and elemental affinity. Who knows what hidden secrets their familiars may accidentally reveal to everyone?
447Please respect copyright.PENANAQE41EUUq73
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAIDIDpc6ULA
Yes, all of them have tried and succeeded in summoning a familiar.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAMaPWDHJHyL
Well, all but one.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAQHjk2aEAgi
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANALahfvQXrE8
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAcDcLnzBcMj
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAFoCC3WeHF9
Colbert: “All right then, has everyone had their turn?”
447Please respect copyright.PENANAQQm63c4XaY
But the one to fully shatter her hopes was her bully and rival, Kirche von Zerbst. The busty chocolate beauty.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAUgHScSXja9
Kirche: “No, not quite. Ms. Valliere hasn’t done it.”
447Please respect copyright.PENANAE5MXPCfULK
Louise: ‘Brimir, darn you Kirche.’
447Please respect copyright.PENANAWzDBggbHQe
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAi804lB1sBh
Maybe then, she’ll be respected and can finally deliver some good news to her family.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAfQ8seOrNy4
She goes to the summoning area and prepares to-
447Please respect copyright.PENANA4hu9pjMM72
“Louise the zero.”
447Please respect copyright.PENANA6llgpcR1QN
“What do you suppose she’ll summon”
447Please respect copyright.PENANAJlg38vPrHF
“There’s no way she can summon anything. We’ll just have another explosion and nothing else.”
447Please respect copyright.PENANABo9S4aVBeT
Kirche: “With all your boasting, you should be able to summon up something more amazing than this. Right, Louise?”
447Please respect copyright.PENANAQGldecI6Gx
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAv7TZ8VaEaz
Louise: “Well of course!”
447Please respect copyright.PENANAGDj4MfNJrd
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAVh6jJd8jGI
She didn’t know it then but, someone was listening to her prayers.
447Please respect copyright.PENANA8HPQDgOdVN
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!”
447Please respect copyright.PENANA6seKDfb9LC
“And so the die is cast.”
447Please respect copyright.PENANAWWSnBmFUsy
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAHXZk5kW2pu
…
…
447Please respect copyright.PENANAdE4qLV5v5L
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANABd1KUvwR1G
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAg6dtI5wM28
The students quickly collected themselves and began their favorite pass time.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAy6yQKVFWEv
“Hah, I knew it! Once a Zero always a Zero.”
447Please respect copyright.PENANABJHOHr4YoG
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAQlYQLpKcCa
The one most scared was Slyphid, the medium-sized blue dragon summoned by the petite blue-haired Tabitha.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAn7eA5A8N0I
Tabitha: “What?”
447Please respect copyright.PENANAlP3Gq9lnMe
Her question brought Slyphid’s head around to look her in the eyes. With their intimate bond, Slyphid was able to respond telepathically.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAlck9jS1vvl
Slyphid: ‘I smell her! I’m Frightened! But…there’s…more than just her…a…Predator.’
447Please respect copyright.PENANAhNnOVHnWXz
The panicked voice in her head startled Tabitha. For a rhyme dragon of all things to be frightened…
447Please respect copyright.PENANAdJcJruM2lJ
Tabitha: “What do you…mean?”
447Please respect copyright.PENANABsBBrIFgQx
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANASGVczgbIx5
Louise: ‘Wait!? Shadows?’
447Please respect copyright.PENANA3ZdUTKVfYB
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANA6xPo25sl2l
When the smoke cleared, something completely unexpected awaited everyone. Not only did Louise summon a human but she summoned multiple familiars.
447Please respect copyright.PENANA0xUW6bgLzc
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAVl9TFBEaED
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANADa7bwJTF2x
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANA4uwymt6C60
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAODr1VobFH4
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANArxMm2KNeqt
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANA8h4gnpj8kS
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANA23EHgkpnwY
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANARwar2dgxBg
As for Louise, she just couldn’t look away. Especially after what happened next.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAUDrcIRePJt
“Kolo Zu’u, druv los tinvaak dovahzul?”
447Please respect copyright.PENANAXdTHwrOZpc
…
…447Please respect copyright.PENANAMG02ji6t5n
447Please respect copyright.PENANA0Sq7AhXzS2
Kirche: “Did that dragon just…speak?”
447Please respect copyright.PENANAEbidGcmObM
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAXR90GeKJTG
After a few moments of conversation and looking around, they stopped and looked at Louise.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAozwrizuDi0
“Okay, who summoned us?”
447Please respect copyright.PENANAZ0V0rFV0kX
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAc6GMLecNgn
Louise: “I-I did. My name is Louise Francoise Le Blanc de La Valliere.”447Please respect copyright.PENANAHwu8Y8hR1q
447Please respect copyright.PENANAIPaGC8iE1K
“Well hi Louise, my name is Raskreia or Rask for short. This dragon is named Dovahkiin, strange name I know.”
447Please respect copyright.PENANArpw9vRjzpQ
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAAIsfFphrHB
447Please respect copyright.PENANAcr1PLWCxYj
Raskreia: “Now, I have questions but first I think we should help the kid.”
447Please respect copyright.PENANAuIgo8DJsGZ
447Please respect copyright.PENANAV9kgRkj44p
Colbert finally escaped his shock and agreed. He asks some students to carry the boy to the infirmary.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAvxkCsljf7D
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANALsh160XdkY
Colbert: ‘Who knows what could’ve happened if we delayed any further.’
447Please respect copyright.PENANAXjLd18kBrL
“Ugh, what, is with the racket.”
447Please respect copyright.PENANANfmAkTisHG
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANANnGNnlNeZq
“I slept in an inn in my underwear, and I wake up in a summoning circle in them. Ugh, what even?”
447Please respect copyright.PENANADQnAbpxqXH
Raskreia: “Well, looks who’s awake.”
447Please respect copyright.PENANAyK2jm82WPr
She sighs.447Please respect copyright.PENANAgdMUyazjjN
447Please respect copyright.PENANALCqG3htJyy
“And I am surrounded by children and a strange dragon.”
447Please respect copyright.PENANAvkolYpS28r
Colbert: “Since everyone is awake, not including the injured, we should proceed with the bonding ritual.”447Please respect copyright.PENANAgGRQg06Q1A
447Please respect copyright.PENANAQrhOdKB8Wy
Raskreia: “Sure, if you’re going to explain to us what in the nine hells is going on here exactly and where we are?”447Please respect copyright.PENANAjgQyJBcRwU
447Please respect copyright.PENANAVjHuZI9ZTM
At this, Louise answers before the man could.447Please respect copyright.PENANAZNbFNxMRR4
447Please respect copyright.PENANANRu0EC8slA
Louise: “You’re here because I summoned you all to be my familiar with the summon servant spell, and I am your master now.”
447Please respect copyright.PENANAVmoNIpuvrO
Rask rolls her eyes while the other 2 had more animated responses.447Please respect copyright.PENANA9VOGgpMbvB
447Please respect copyright.PENANAttMWLAZTM2
“Whoa, back the fuck up. Why should I be your familiar?”447Please respect copyright.PENANApcLXbgfIXi
447Please respect copyright.PENANA4Mn9ILfUKt
Dovahkiin: “What do you mean by bonding?”447Please respect copyright.PENANAUfE9QVPGzX
447Please respect copyright.PENANAcOYtpwgvQc
Everyone except Rask blinked. That was in Tristainian.447Please respect copyright.PENANAemadKYoTwD
447Please respect copyright.PENANABLMBcbZmX2
Dovahkiin: “Oh, so now my voice returns.”
447Please respect copyright.PENANADwnObDTEmh
Colbert: “You can speak our language?”
447Please respect copyright.PENANAwPPgKd9j04
Dovahkiin: “I can speak this language, but before I was…confused and spoke in native Dovahzul.”
447Please respect copyright.PENANAUP4WefsbUA
Raskreia: “Really? I guess I don’t need this anymore then.”
447Please respect copyright.PENANAAQ6ociyBMf
Rask puts the ring back in her bag.
447Please respect copyright.PENANA5Gp7GScp2E
Colbert: “Dovahzul, I haven’t heard of that language.”
447Please respect copyright.PENANAKySHi9dJw6
“Neither have I, strange.”
447Please respect copyright.PENANAPYnacvK895
Dovahkiin: “Enough of this, what do you mean by bonding?”
447Please respect copyright.PENANAx8tpexUPIS
Despite the group before her, Louise bravely stepped forward again.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAF8yitnWysQ
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.”
447Please respect copyright.PENANA7ZFNCpc6GO
The reactions from all summoned present varied but none good.447Please respect copyright.PENANA5Isq21VSgo
447Please respect copyright.PENANAajZO923OqQ
Raskreia: “I’m fine with getting summoned but getting branded like some animal, no thanks.”447Please respect copyright.PENANAhz81pt71pC
447Please respect copyright.PENANAdfpScZXTk9
Louise’s mood quickly deteriorates but there’s still hope she thought. She summoned more than one, surely one would agree.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAw7IBOEudVK
But that thought quickly faded away when the dragon growled. It drew itself up by stretching its wings down and glared at Louise.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAbjYM5d1Uwv
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?”
447Please respect copyright.PENANASGctLXgUkq
Raskreia: ‘Oh no, they made the dragon mad. That’s never a good idea. No matter the plane.’
447Please respect copyright.PENANAWz3aRCrihl
Colbert stepped in as Louise faltered and took several steps back.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAnxRbtzd0lG
Colbert: “It’s how the holy ritual has been performed for hundreds of years.”
447Please respect copyright.PENANAgZST49YQjS
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.”
447Please respect copyright.PENANAUXujiToaK6
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAsN2TvBAPMj
Dovahkiin: “I for one refuse to become anyone’s slave. I simply want to return to the life I lived before this all occurred.”
447Please respect copyright.PENANAqOUPYlqktR
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.”
447Please respect copyright.PENANAvdpzKqQcFq
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.’447Please respect copyright.PENANAb8vJ2gEcuk
447Please respect copyright.PENANA2o9j00lhrp
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAMEhG0NPPSq
She grips her wand tightly, wishing this was all a dream. Unbeknownst to her, there was one that considered her offer.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAvS3V5EyBlf
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAtnDJSVZ0z3
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAad89jOpes6
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.447Please respect copyright.PENANAh0LA6x9Uy5
447Please respect copyright.PENANAuiX5UDzPYe
She knew intimately what happens in situations like that. Despite her previous obligations, the redhead made her choice.447Please respect copyright.PENANANBVYdRLx0n
447Please respect copyright.PENANAXH3fm81syz
“If a familiar is what you seek, then you shall have one. I agree to be yours.”
447Please respect copyright.PENANA4akCBAFxvZ
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANArvPjFtM0Si
Dovahkiin: “You!? You would subject yourself as a slave to a child? Where is your pride as a Dovah?”
447Please respect copyright.PENANAeWXIYfeOHr
“Dovah? I see, that's your word for it. So you can tell?”
447Please respect copyright.PENANACiUN0msgIM
Dovahkiin: *Nod*
447Please respect copyright.PENANAjwnMiA7zaW
“I have my own reasons.”
447Please respect copyright.PENANAXhEE8SB5Ph
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAwpqdFcV1LQ
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?
447Please respect copyright.PENANAKBDF7iK94y
Raskreia: “Well I won’t judge you. It’s your choice.”
447Please respect copyright.PENANAVCZvUcohOI
Louise reapplies her rule of steel mask and starts towards the redhead. She let out an indignant, resigned huff as she raised her wand.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAR5a6G0xrlp
Louise: “Consider yourself fortunate, commoner. Normally, you’d never in your life have a noble do this to you.”
447Please respect copyright.PENANATZxb2jIUsX
Louise: “My name is Louise Francoise Le Blanc de La Valliere. Oh, pentagon that rules the five elements, bless this individual and-”
447Please respect copyright.PENANAdqAva0gw8d
447Please respect copyright.PENANALyDAAy3ZTL
‘Did you think this was it?’
447Please respect copyright.PENANA188SCFeoba
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAJSiX9Hjfrk
“Louise!?”
447Please respect copyright.PENANA0X4VuakWoq
Everyone, including the dragon, looks at Louise with concern. Before anyone could go to her and see what’s wrong, something else extraordinary happens.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAOwVeQ79kRO
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAMR1jAZeVk8
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAUgcRs8h2ZD
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANANDWwWVTG0a
Raskeria: “The hell was that?”
447Please respect copyright.PENANAqY9WbjtP6Z
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAJBoPl7ZJok
Colbert: “A golem?”
447Please respect copyright.PENANAKRZ9xFnK5X
Dovahkiin: “No, something more.”
447Please respect copyright.PENANAqLI32RJatQ
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAryhyzM5fbv
Guiche: “Unhand me this instant!”
447Please respect copyright.PENANA8oDZON0mLx
It didn’t respond instead it brought its other arm up and balled it into a fist.
447Please respect copyright.PENANA6kbwYmrT42
Guiche: “You would dare hit a noble!? I tell you, my father is a gener-”
447Please respect copyright.PENANACivsA5fUm2
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAkHHFRFImP2
Colbert: “Mister Grammont!”
447Please respect copyright.PENANAPPIPb3qb3D
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAqaYrPj5VGx
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAqkkw3aP43l
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANA8ivedlNmUF
Guiche: “L-Louise?”447Please respect copyright.PENANAQ0U15YDMHY
447Please respect copyright.PENANAaDArPVManD
Colbert: “But how?”
447Please respect copyright.PENANAjvMkHAkQsT
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAfBv7nYrwxh
Raskeria: “Can this day get any crazier?”
447Please respect copyright.PENANALQWunLzQXf
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAwi6gHqQXCN
Guiche: “How dare-”
447Please respect copyright.PENANAj1cFYDgQCt
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAYd5Oo41O3H
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAzR7Yh7X75V
Regardless, Dova took the golem and threw it across the field away from the students.
447Please respect copyright.PENANABkway6KxmP
While this was happening, the redhead took Louise to a safe distance. She could help but she wanted to keep Louise safe for now.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAnOtdlIIvRw
Raskeria: “That has to be among the strongest golems I’ve ever seen.”
447Please respect copyright.PENANAxcqKDg3P8N
Dovahkiin: “It’s like a Dwemer automation but more…advanced somehow.”
447Please respect copyright.PENANAEF3beXFnOY
Louise?: “I don’t remember you two when I left. Who are you two?”

Raskeria: “Talk later, fight now!”
447Please respect copyright.PENANAi0Elh4LLUL
Dovahkiin: “YOL TOOR SHUL!”
447Please respect copyright.PENANAtrvfZx3LYB
The dragon breathes intense heat at the golem while Raskeria casts a strange spell that also shoots bolts of fire.
447Please respect copyright.PENANA7zGf8Jfarp
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANA8uzwToqxZi
Raskeria: “Okay, that thing is too dangerous. Disintegrate.”
447Please respect copyright.PENANAwHZlX1N3XM
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANA3wgTRtDpnj
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAmMaWkoaV4l
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAfcGVgpfPg7
This proved to be the right choice when the sound of lightning cracked from the cloud of dust.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAz8iVsuM7a0
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAKoKioKSyjJ
Raskeria: “Another one!? To think, I was just hanging out with friends and now I have to fight for my life.”
447Please respect copyright.PENANAOphw5gPlAS
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAMePhVMlWna
Eventually, the sound of clicking reached her ears. She disassembled her shield and placed her hands behind her with her palms open.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAgaSq8X514b
Louise 2: ‘Here’s my chanc-”
447Please respect copyright.PENANAbLE3R3ZzUd
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAt2anxsL6r6
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAPxXCXZbkQN
Raskeria: “Did Louise summon another one? I can’t deny it, that’s impressive.”
447Please respect copyright.PENANA8WxRX3owHr
Louise 2: “Friend or foe?”
447Please respect copyright.PENANAoIMJE39UBF
Jake: “Depends on what happens next. The name’s Jake Logan Anderson, Jake will do.”
447Please respect copyright.PENANA5k7shLlwib
Dovahkiin: “FUS RO DAH”
447Please respect copyright.PENANAev4hh3mbKQ
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAo05CcyqsIj
Dovahkiin: ‘I need to get used to this body and fast. I hope that was the last of them.’
447Please respect copyright.PENANAMn9GjuocsF
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANA8fUT9vP3At
Louise 2: “Mr. Colbert!”
447Please respect copyright.PENANAmzzSHpw793
This seemed to jog the man from his shock.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAyiFQv80mJh
Colbert: “Um yes, what do you need Ms….you are Valliere right?”
447Please respect copyright.PENANArRGKXi8LRr
Louise 2: “Yes. Evacuate everyone from this place right now.”
447Please respect copyright.PENANAy4jjKKP7kx
Raskeria: “Why? Isn’t it over?”
447Please respect copyright.PENANAhhDSICOUXW
Jake: “No, it’s never that easy.”
447Please respect copyright.PENANA6Qh6IdmJue
Louise 2: “He’s right, this courtyard isn’t safe anymore.”
447Please respect copyright.PENANAjQHrxB2T7Q
The doppelganger looked at the strangers she fought with.
447Please respect copyright.PENANALeiFfD4rVm
Louise 2: “Can trust one of you to help Colbert protect everyone.”
447Please respect copyright.PENANAH5Kqij6cuG
Before any of them could answer, the red-head answered.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAz4yN3tUUFH
“I’ll protect him along with…you I guess.”
447Please respect copyright.PENANAb4fxQ74d9z
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANA1RJXCHszLg
Louise 2: “And who are you?”
447Please respect copyright.PENANAnsLOepQPgf
“My name is Aeterna Flamma, your familiar.”
447Please respect copyright.PENANAEREg05PYir
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANALG9i42IlQr
Dovahkiin: “Trust her, she is stronger than she looks.”
447Please respect copyright.PENANA8UhCybMYh9
Louise: 2: “…Fine. I won’t argue with a dragon. Especially not now.”
447Please respect copyright.PENANA3y8LUrWxTf
Aeterna: “Good, come on everyone.”
447Please respect copyright.PENANA7yDuqN2Wwj
Colbert: “Y-You heard them, we can’t stay here any-”
447Please respect copyright.PENANArAE5RWE7UM
Suddenly, the sound of something rattling made itself known throughout the courtyard. Louise 2 clicked her tongue.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAXhmMd1H2zG
Louise 2: “Go, NOW!”
447Please respect copyright.PENANAeBTHbinLhV
They followed her order, many out of fear of the sight before them. The 3 golems slowly but surely collapsed into strange black sand.
447Please respect copyright.PENANA8Rsb4LYQaM
Jake: “What the fuck?! Are these truly machines?”
447Please respect copyright.PENANAjxCQFwinUV
Raskeria: “I’m starting to question that too.”
447Please respect copyright.PENANAxJikaHir4y
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANATFeT224FqO
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANA5hJLIyrAPa
The arms were next. The left was a massive blade and the right was a massive claw hand.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAOEC2hpwKMw
Finally, the head was bulky enough to discourage any beheading. But the most important part was the lines connecting to the chest area.
447Please respect copyright.PENANA2P6nLGkllt
Louise 2: ‘That’s its weak point.’
447Please respect copyright.PENANA23bvYnCDWn
Its eyes finally light up and lock onto the fighters.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAiqsxBDG2jB
Louise 2: “Just my luck, a Ravager.”
447Please respect copyright.PENANA6Z29qkSUlp
Raskeria: “A what?”
447Please respect copyright.PENANAR4r1YFbqup
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANA0v9CNBk6mD
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANArSiTXxRjKP
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANA6qnjJHmmmA
Louise 2: “Go!”
447Please respect copyright.PENANABfdcj0qBX3
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANA5vUfBlbriG
Raskeria aided the group with various spells, mostly fire and stuff like ‘Create Pit’.
447Please respect copyright.PENANA5bXdbwc90T
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAYjehymT9qH
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAllKbc2kCLu
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAFs76hlKlMx
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAT6LdpibSu4
Raskeria: “Yeah, stay right there. Disintegrate.”
447Please respect copyright.PENANAnk93ilFpGt
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAoAeNy2bleo
Louise 2: “That won’t be enough! We need to destroy its core.”
447Please respect copyright.PENANAMo2GctxBfh
Jake: “Where is it then!?”
447Please respect copyright.PENANAHRoCYTihNo
Louise 2: “It was in its chest but who knows where it will be when it reforms.”
447Please respect copyright.PENANAhtYaU9KQ2i
They look back at Rask and she couldn’t help but rub the back of her head.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAmd6lsVZvEy
Raskeria: “My bad.”
447Please respect copyright.PENANA2Z7qspFfcK
Jake: “Tch, it’s like fighting a machine version of me.”
447Please respect copyright.PENANAXknjgVa9i8
Dovahkiin: “FO KRAH DIIN”
447Please respect copyright.PENANA2yy0XBpSpo
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAqoAcsLvsky
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAovrJee19iq
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.”
447Please respect copyright.PENANAuf8PsiIJsK
Raskeria: “What do you mean?”
447Please respect copyright.PENANASTyX3k4L0k
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.”
447Please respect copyright.PENANAwoGUYrbdFG
Jake: “…Fine.”
447Please respect copyright.PENANAQctY0NMN6I
The other 2 nodded and got into position.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAgClb88bxbe
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANA3Jev4bOTuu
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAuIjnjxpkbO
Louise 2: “You got to be kidding me.”447Please respect copyright.PENANAUDTBMjl6DB
447Please respect copyright.PENANA0o3376jkX5
The Ravager started firing at everything below. Raskeria created another shield around everyone to block the heavy bullet fire.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAkrXUdetzsF
Raskeria: “Dovahkiin, this is all you. I’ll focus on protecting everyone while you distract it enough to prevent it from firing.”
447Please respect copyright.PENANA566G7KvhLU
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAuz8NLdBU4V
Despite Dovah’s best efforts though, Ravager wasn’t that bothered by it’s attacks. That was until Dovah started using more unique shouts.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAyrNp0RmNV4
Dovahkiin: “VEN GAAR NOS!”
447Please respect copyright.PENANAsZa6g6m8kM
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAUHHzLOaC9j
Louise 2: “Great, bring it down quick! I can see where the core is! Focus your attacks on its head!”
447Please respect copyright.PENANAthPsDVNRsp
Raskeria: “I still need to keep the shield on Dovahkiin so I can’t attack.”
447Please respect copyright.PENANAxEz3iqnZEk
Louise 2: “That’s a good thing, just focus on support.”
447Please respect copyright.PENANALVTeCyzv6k
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAFW3KyVONGD
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAzASLTJEl17
Raskeria: “Was that…magic?”
447Please respect copyright.PENANABV0wfJOWqa
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.”
447Please respect copyright.PENANAgsyxK9snlu
Dova shrugged it off but still lost some ground. Jake on the other hand was on fire and falling.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAvMHoQLPF1Y
Jake: ‘Of course, it had to use fire and lightning of all things.’
447Please respect copyright.PENANAWZdSlsnXKw
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAsHWD4Q3YCg
It abandoned the dragon and went to delete the living weapon. But before it could, another welcomed surprise appeared. The final and winning variable.
447Please respect copyright.PENANA5VuW3cvsvU
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANALAyRJifkmY
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAZqjJ3tOgp6
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAxSwZWDnif1
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAXcOWZBzN3m
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAWGpXI4VJES
Louise 2: “I don’t know who you are but if you can understand me, keep it down while I end this.”
447Please respect copyright.PENANACBUzJe2Hrp
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAUZTDlWwJ4g
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANA4O4M5RI0Kt
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.’
447Please respect copyright.PENANA1BVBtGvgRM
The distance between them became smaller.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAUGVHRMo2HO
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAClYoNb7KdG
20 meters
447Please respect copyright.PENANAP6iPNSGvW6
Arcs of pink electricity started to form around her.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAlXgul6au1B
15 meters
447Please respect copyright.PENANAIpMqhSeo0H
She opened her eyes; her vision was surrounded by plenty of warnings but she dismissed them.
447Please respect copyright.PENANARHMCylUeL5
10 meters
447Please respect copyright.PENANA4ZAhoYg6yQ
Louise 2: “Adapt to this!”
447Please respect copyright.PENANA5ThNCWBMbF
5 meters
447Please respect copyright.PENANA3j1ZyWsgh5
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAJ8N87Jq1vV
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANALFbEfgKiOq
The sonic boom made it into everyone’s ears. Students screamed and even the fighters had to cover their ears as the ground quaked.
447Please respect copyright.PENANANRJx9GzGK3
The fighters aside from Jake ran up to the aftermath of the attack. Colbert also came running despite Aeterna’s warning.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAQdWAJcLEnR
Good news, the Ravager now sported a missing head. Bad news, behind the Ravager was a badly damaged Louise 2.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAGjLCip0e9A
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANA4ceviIv7z8
Raskeria: “Okay, that looks terrible. But I can fix this.”
447Please respect copyright.PENANAr61UC0vgaH
She started to create ice to cool her down before applying healing magic. But before she could a voice stopped her.
447Please respect copyright.PENANA7QLDy298Yc
“STOP, YOU’RE GOING TO KILL HER!”
447Please respect copyright.PENANAYLvgEVuzxK
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANApzoAC2monl
Colbert: “Stop, any closer and we’ll consider you an enemy!”
447Please respect copyright.PENANAtFjjo4Wfpg
Raskeria: “I vote enemy, where was he when everything was going wrong?”
447Please respect copyright.PENANAcFblZUwdtk
Louise 2: “B-Bench? I-Is that…y-you?”
447Please respect copyright.PENANAi7oljYlKL3
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANA0OVKBxm7Qp
Colbert: “Miss Valliere!”
447Please respect copyright.PENANAitNv4ZilBY
Louise 2: “Please…let Bench…come to me…professor.”
447Please respect copyright.PENANAS4j1ObK7GZ
Raskeria: “But what about my magic? I can heal you good as new.”
447Please respect copyright.PENANAe1pq4RRdU0
Louise 2: “Don’t…I…d-don’t know…what effect it…will h-have.”
447Please respect copyright.PENANAZHTcoFGNe6
Bench: “Listen to her, I know what to do. Trust me, she’s in good hands.”
447Please respect copyright.PENANAI2ul7mVlBR
Raskeria: “…Fine. This whole thing is beyond me anyway.”
447Please respect copyright.PENANAFCNnTaLJVb
Heeding his words, Raskeria and Colbert moved out of the way. Bench approached Louise 2 and a blue line scanned her entire being.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAeSSinnSKZa
Bench: “You’ve really done it this time Louise.”
447Please respect copyright.PENANA8mvFAML6HN
Louise 2: “Why does…it…matter…I destroyed…the Ravager.”
447Please respect copyright.PENANAgE6USvgBgw
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.”
447Please respect copyright.PENANAtw2lmZo1mh
Raskeria: ‘You mean what I was going to do?’
447Please respect copyright.PENANA1qX3WXQkTO
Louise 2: “Then would…this help?”
447Please respect copyright.PENANAIASTptfDRb
She asks while letting go of a red orb that was giving a low hum.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAmfYdeVmzGV
Bench: “Is that what I think it is?”
447Please respect copyright.PENANATLVSaDhB0u
Louise 2: “Y-You bet…it is.”
447Please respect copyright.PENANAX20DvxDVdM
A blue line passed over the orb from Bench.
447Please respect copyright.PENANADWfDyc4UGQ
Bench: “I can’t believe it, a Ravager core.”
447Please respect copyright.PENANAVzQRJovzxc
Raskeria: “You mean that’s what we were fighting to destroy? Why is it intact?”
447Please respect copyright.PENANAJTW8V7OETY
Bench: “Because this might be the only sure way to save Louise.”
447Please respect copyright.PENANA5iOzfFVicq
Raskeria: “Magic is out but the core of that monster is okay?”
447Please respect copyright.PENANA4CteE0AA1F
Dovahkiin: “I agree, destroy it.”
447Please respect copyright.PENANARkUbXDasPz
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?”
447Please respect copyright.PENANAE6q2gFdo8L
Raskeria: “No but I’m keeping my eye on you…and that.”
447Please respect copyright.PENANAsgCXpXrRMW
Bench: “By all means.”
447Please respect copyright.PENANAvMuAbIxBsz
Louise 2: “So…can you…d-do it Bench?”
447Please respect copyright.PENANA053fgYkXEc
Bench: “Do you know who you’re talking to?
447Please respect copyright.PENANAgtvFEoEu1X
Louise 2: “That’s…good.”
447Please respect copyright.PENANAoliECh3hl0
Louise 2 finally succumbs to her wounds and passes out. Bench looks to Colbert and gives a stern order.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAzDbx7zb7Ks
Bench: “Take me to where your clinic is, I have a Hunter to repair!”
447Please respect copyright.PENANAaToPJiisF9
Jake: “Wait a minute!”
447Please respect copyright.PENANA67qND6QiR1
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANABmbPhwRqr7
Bench: “What are you doing?!”
447Please respect copyright.PENANA9dPsRffNcj
Jake: “Just because I helped defeat that thing doesn’t mean we’re allies. I need answers!”
447Please respect copyright.PENANAmAJA5LPZ6G
Raskeria: “Calm down Jake, do you really want to fight everyone here?”
447Please respect copyright.PENANA8msZzGUSOn
Jake: “…I’ll do what I have to.”
447Please respect copyright.PENANAuGZUv0LnWE
Colbert: “W-What do you want to know?”
447Please respect copyright.PENANAc76zztYc5Z
Bench: “We don’t have time for this! Louise will die if Colbert doesn’t show me to the clinic.”
447Please respect copyright.PENANAiphyI2t0ej
Jake: “I don’t care.”
447Please respect copyright.PENANAtFjZ5jvo1y
Bench: “You-”
447Please respect copyright.PENANApRY1k73qia
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAwWEsAaDcHV
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAcMzODzvbFO
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANACHSN1i7MUw
“Can you understand me?”
447Please respect copyright.PENANAAP8efkOZBl
Raskeria: ‘A translation spell? Oh, he’s good.’
447Please respect copyright.PENANARloZsTufn1
Colbert: “Y-Yes.”
447Please respect copyright.PENANABegIl3Hq7g
“Wonderful, my name is Zander and I’ll take them to the clinic.”
447Please respect copyright.PENANADmvO3J3nti
Colbert: “But how? You don’t know the way.”
447Please respect copyright.PENANAlwoSm8Wp09
Zander: “I’ll ask one of the students or the staff. I’m sure they’ll help.”
447Please respect copyright.PENANA4He2fjGmD9
With a slight twist of his wrist, Louise begins to float off the ground.
447Please respect copyright.PENANALWojrd2lLa
Zander: “Shall we go Bench?”
447Please respect copyright.PENANAXBuVx3Geq8
Bench: “Yes, quickly now.”
447Please respect copyright.PENANAheKeXdDupQ
They begin to leave but before that Zander gives a sharp glare to Jake.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAi2vAjjOzlP
Zander: “I hope I don’t have to come back here and deal with you Jake. I rather we be friends than enemies.”
447Please respect copyright.PENANAEY5xq3AhAV
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANADnGooiZJJK
No one said a word until Zander was gone.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAyDeZpKkfjS
Colbert: “Okay, so what do you want to know Jake.”
447Please respect copyright.PENANArfgwNiWrnN
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…”
447Please respect copyright.PENANABNAug67lbM
Jake brings his blade a bit closer to Colbert which makes everyone tense up, ready for another fight.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAAtAgQd0FfP
Jake: “You will take me back to New York.”
447Please respect copyright.PENANAeVA5njXjc9
Colbert: “I’m sorry but…there’s no way back. None that we know of.”
447Please respect copyright.PENANAVMdOG4zOyZ
The moment those words left his mouth, he felt the urge to slice off his head.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAYMGLejf5OV
No way to get back to New York meant Blackwatch ran free and the only family he has left was in danger.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAyM8Uo4mP2b
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAYj73gLXITb
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAgOYHVaQjFm
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!”
447Please respect copyright.PENANAZaq6zSinHC
Colbert: “Sir, I’m truly sorry but there is no way to reverse this.”
447Please respect copyright.PENANALvpUJvP8AA
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANASprq83AEpi
Raskeria: “There might be a way.”
447Please respect copyright.PENANAmSFMbBol7m
Everyone turned toward the girl. Jake’s eyes widened with relief but also slow-cooking anger.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAchpxd2N7fC
Jake: “Tell me.”
447Please respect copyright.PENANAcqetY3npmc
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.”
447Please respect copyright.PENANAkKywFBIt0X
Jake: “Then-”
447Please respect copyright.PENANA94WHy36SzJ
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…”
447Please respect copyright.PENANAJxcgurKJDi
Jake: “Or?”
447Please respect copyright.PENANAVQJp0Hy3Hi
Raskeria: “Learn magic and go yourself.”
447Please respect copyright.PENANA1aU5RJjs0f
Colbert: “Learn magic?”
447Please respect copyright.PENANAmI4eCP0ZNK
Raskeria: “Yeah, it will be hard but it can be done.”
447Please respect copyright.PENANA9mzuEyXxas
Jake: “…”
447Please respect copyright.PENANAQQwKj2MgHB
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAmgIfxt1mmE
But still, time is of the essence. He can’t be gone for long.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAzftfrm3K26
Jake: “How long would it take for me to learn.”
447Please respect copyright.PENANA4yE5JLcZmc
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.”
447Please respect copyright.PENANA9NrtXKvgMG
Jake: ‘Years!? No, I don’t have that kind of time. I’ll leave that as a backup.’
447Please respect copyright.PENANAgU5numTQdP
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.”
447Please respect copyright.PENANA9JNbr63dsX
Raskeria: “Sure, sure. Right now though, I’m tired. I’m going home and telling everyone what happened. See you. ‘gate’.”
447Please respect copyright.PENANAKZCOJq803w
A rip in reality appears behind Raskeria. She yawns and goes through which causes it to close.
447Please respect copyright.PENANA3WaraFV16f
Jake: ‘Tch, she better make good on our deal. Or I have another person on my list to kill here.’
447Please respect copyright.PENANAvqw6bsBAu9
Jake: *Sigh*
447Please respect copyright.PENANAR1UL8wyibo
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.”
447Please respect copyright.PENANAIdKctYuZrh
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAacZpbmSlFq
Colbert: “Well, you’re the last one. What will you do?”
447Please respect copyright.PENANAI8WBvFwLMy
Dovahkiin: “Stay for now. Jake’s situation seemed more serious than mine so he can get the gate treatment first. Besides…”
447Please respect copyright.PENANAG5udhiiRgd
Dovahkiin: ‘It’s not all Louise’s fault that I ended up here. Damn that dedric prince.’
447Please respect copyright.PENANA0kdosTuaVA
Colbert: “Yes?”
447Please respect copyright.PENANAWUZEqza2Cc
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.”
447Please respect copyright.PENANAUeK7OCJCJ7
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANA3w8Njj2i9A
Colbert: “Brimir save us, what has Louise unleashed…”
447Please respect copyright.PENANAlN0uDncLYJ
[Louise’s Room]
447Please respect copyright.PENANA1LPG0ZiPrv
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAuQJnGeYVhT
She gently takes her to the bed and lies her down.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAj2aadimWJ1
Aeterna: “Already, that power is drawing dangerous things to you.”
447Please respect copyright.PENANAAFUOyqo3XN
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAlPcDY5msus
Aeterna: “Did she really expect me to sleep on that? I guess she was expecting an animal though.”
447Please respect copyright.PENANAHqr8eXC4SW
She looks down at her body and remembers that she’s still wearing lingerie.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAwnZAn6Yueq
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.”
447Please respect copyright.PENANAmiV2vVbXbO
With that thought, Aeterna leaves the room.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAlfnQGz7QPG
…
…
447Please respect copyright.PENANA6EncDFm4Ch
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAEewrywFLku
‘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.’
447Please respect copyright.PENANALasyhIHk2H
‘Hehe, I’m getting excited. Sweet dreams Louise.’
447Please respect copyright.PENANAk3fGiOSAFK
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAnow7s1JS3H
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAnaNQ3Y0uOg
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANARRm2mFUWlS
Among the clouds and across the forest, more rips threaten to form.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAvKU69D0sx6
‘Let the games begin.’

447Please respect copyright.PENANAoJo4pXJRvh
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANANUdyojoC2E
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAuzLqre63y6
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.
