Welcome, to my first fan fic. After years, I finally gave in and tried a few.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozAywzusng
Mostly crossovers.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNorgZheOI
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.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxOci0f2hq
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.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXKmJT7cjz
They will be listed at the end of this one-shot.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4P8WRfJ8Pq
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.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85b0k47I0j
This is version 1 after all. If I can perfect the foundation and people like it, then I can continue.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxuWqnCkRB
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.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEYG7ufg4Y
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.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbQsMv7wU3
With that out of the way, let’s dive into this slice of eternity in a moment.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvMpSaqb9K
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0DUqnaD9x
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.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdl897mteXp
Aside from that though, they were also anxious. Anxious about what kind of familiar they would get.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Cm31RPttQ
A summoned familiar mirrors their master’s personality and elemental affinity. Who knows what hidden secrets their familiars may accidentally reveal to everyone?
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmPpkN3XbA
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.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgARtzkbVXV
Yes, all of them have tried and succeeded in summoning a familiar.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofuqxLsdPu
Well, all but one.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3M1rcLDfvL
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.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7hWHwL6jr
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.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUKfuEzg61
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.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vix8HMkUM
Colbert: “All right then, has everyone had their turn?”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQpES6RbwM
But the one to fully shatter her hopes was her bully and rival, Kirche von Zerbst. The busty chocolate beauty.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhygUlVCLvx
Kirche: “No, not quite. Ms. Valliere hasn’t done it.”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyIOJV4yNp
Louise: ‘Brimir, darn you Kirche.’
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CSJ3sGbKH
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.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAHsBgGFID
Maybe then, she’ll be respected and can finally deliver some good news to her family.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bEG7F2wdl
She goes to the summoning area and prepares to-
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1K6xblF2cP
“Louise the zero.”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6oMFg47wM
“What do you suppose she’ll summon”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrf9goDMwT
“There’s no way she can summon anything. We’ll just have another explosion and nothing else.”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2tda2trDx
Kirche: “With all your boasting, you should be able to summon up something more amazing than this. Right, Louise?”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBDEwJXOfZ
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.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvHpES41G2
Louise: “Well of course!”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqxTnNoZ8K
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.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefesWtV4Ye
She didn’t know it then but, someone was listening to her prayers.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsphesMd0A
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!”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1RlgdJeWc
“And so the die is cast.”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZIa0Odu0W
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.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58NW1Og54B
…
…
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8uCM1NwmZ
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.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VAmvnWK55
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.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg86sSrTDhU
The students quickly collected themselves and began their favorite pass time.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESpJhCxx86
“Hah, I knew it! Once a Zero always a Zero.”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJU8ZB4lE8D
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.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tef3dQ9E3
The one most scared was Slyphid, the medium-sized blue dragon summoned by the petite blue-haired Tabitha.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgIJ4Ejakf
Tabitha: “What?”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtfHY2LFS0
Her question brought Slyphid’s head around to look her in the eyes. With their intimate bond, Slyphid was able to respond telepathically.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZp1H0JyFa
Slyphid: ‘I smell her! I’m Frightened! But…there’s…more than just her…a…Predator.’
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4hfZ5XVTt
The panicked voice in her head startled Tabitha. For a rhyme dragon of all things to be frightened…
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzd8jNNUyEE
Tabitha: “What do you…mean?”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kKw0BmhOB
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.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9aLvcB4Zyc
Louise: ‘Wait!? Shadows?’
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAeGKsIyI6
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.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZpd1oTNK8
When the smoke cleared, something completely unexpected awaited everyone. Not only did Louise summon a human but she summoned multiple familiars.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGWlNb4weu
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.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPF5iT3qZP
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.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3AnR6cOCJH
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.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MrScKYi9z
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.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2M5ijvzgB
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.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdaKQeQJx5
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.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUIMUSqj9j
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.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhON9s1dGI
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.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0itz2lrhGb
As for Louise, she just couldn’t look away. Especially after what happened next.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTlXaGyEL7
“Kolo Zu’u, druv los tinvaak dovahzul?”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglJA0QqDH3
…
…413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjR45CF8qaf
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6x314NeRn
Kirche: “Did that dragon just…speak?”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjodSALBVjw
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.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZL3h8psC4
After a few moments of conversation and looking around, they stopped and looked at Louise.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6Y6fw2uXz
“Okay, who summoned us?”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCGF3wRyDB
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.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyR7NEZH3xS
Louise: “I-I did. My name is Louise Francoise Le Blanc de La Valliere.”413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2kEUkSLiD
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNggbq3Wpv
“Well hi Louise, my name is Raskreia or Rask for short. This dragon is named Dovahkiin, strange name I know.”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsyw4tL6VY
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.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSuA5KQpoL
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN45O3iP360
Raskreia: “Now, I have questions but first I think we should help the kid.”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtKLrCWUJo
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FS8g1cZrG
Colbert finally escaped his shock and agreed. He asks some students to carry the boy to the infirmary.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvhXWOeNgG
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.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrggZpCJ4hz
Colbert: ‘Who knows what could’ve happened if we delayed any further.’
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QO9lGp7fJ
“Ugh, what, is with the racket.”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVyOXpI5li
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.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfP1NBhSWQ
“I slept in an inn in my underwear, and I wake up in a summoning circle in them. Ugh, what even?”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCB9WSTJZ17
Raskreia: “Well, looks who’s awake.”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAwfgAwtBq
She sighs.413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRN8mu27wrO
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1lhlIQKy2
“And I am surrounded by children and a strange dragon.”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISngH2OdpA
Colbert: “Since everyone is awake, not including the injured, we should proceed with the bonding ritual.”413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeg557DeZRy
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFqQsZfEkh
Raskreia: “Sure, if you’re going to explain to us what in the nine hells is going on here exactly and where we are?”413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKX8v93pdV
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHpFDfCg7c
At this, Louise answers before the man could.413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPT1AoCS8r
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmg0uUXec3
Louise: “You’re here because I summoned you all to be my familiar with the summon servant spell, and I am your master now.”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBrAtLPpFi
Rask rolls her eyes while the other 2 had more animated responses.413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBCE9hQGO1
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjsbCsVvw7
“Whoa, back the fuck up. Why should I be your familiar?”413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexIf05T5Mt
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6OqykDALZ
Dovahkiin: “What do you mean by bonding?”413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwQ67k2iAE
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyoWoge3mj
Everyone except Rask blinked. That was in Tristainian.413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHcyZ6Nhxp
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJTfHYtH8I
Dovahkiin: “Oh, so now my voice returns.”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8WYkWIVqz
Colbert: “You can speak our language?”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzvQ1boaM0
Dovahkiin: “I can speak this language, but before I was…confused and spoke in native Dovahzul.”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1QYX7oJNV
Raskreia: “Really? I guess I don’t need this anymore then.”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJ7uNOPPpp
Rask puts the ring back in her bag.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDP1XC8ALoi
Colbert: “Dovahzul, I haven’t heard of that language.”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8WKwZXUht
“Neither have I, strange.”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iSERc0szl
Dovahkiin: “Enough of this, what do you mean by bonding?”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WWEvh7yJT
Despite the group before her, Louise bravely stepped forward again.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0p8vvgRFe
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.”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXf5ePWM50
The reactions from all summoned present varied but none good.413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rsKdPKss6
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9k90GdpCgV
Raskreia: “I’m fine with getting summoned but getting branded like some animal, no thanks.”413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIftocOAWBT
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHm7cmzqIkJ
Louise’s mood quickly deteriorates but there’s still hope she thought. She summoned more than one, surely one would agree.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQH6sGHJKq
But that thought quickly faded away when the dragon growled. It drew itself up by stretching its wings down and glared at Louise.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1c61AqZtOU
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?”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7Ob9jOJKX
Raskreia: ‘Oh no, they made the dragon mad. That’s never a good idea. No matter the plane.’
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2O7z8fRqY
Colbert stepped in as Louise faltered and took several steps back.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpNU4xFscI
Colbert: “It’s how the holy ritual has been performed for hundreds of years.”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDgg4c5jqc
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.”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyeM4cL3WI
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.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4Jf1ktZs3
Dovahkiin: “I for one refuse to become anyone’s slave. I simply want to return to the life I lived before this all occurred.”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOPVts1swl
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.”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6k7Y7nNM4
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.’413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwxspOfnid
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySYhgILykx
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.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6HPABkKH4
She grips her wand tightly, wishing this was all a dream. Unbeknownst to her, there was one that considered her offer.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZlLgdXmg9
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.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsFDEwLHPG
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.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYG2kStNMl
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.413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WwfxNJqyQ
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1fdbvuehg
She knew intimately what happens in situations like that. Despite her previous obligations, the redhead made her choice.413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9brnzl0Rp
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwwtzSTkZZ
“If a familiar is what you seek, then you shall have one. I agree to be yours.”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLH0OdWzH9Y
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.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOjVwumDKq
Dovahkiin: “You!? You would subject yourself as a slave to a child? Where is your pride as a Dovah?”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmWUrocnlQ
“Dovah? I see, that's your word for it. So you can tell?”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMK2m4duh5
Dovahkiin: *Nod*
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vnt2PUecH
“I have my own reasons.”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvUNC64zPZ
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.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz90oxJJYVO
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?
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjw23NUGDs
Raskreia: “Well I won’t judge you. It’s your choice.”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbrqGYbNlp
Louise reapplies her rule of steel mask and starts towards the redhead. She let out an indignant, resigned huff as she raised her wand.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTzY9ill6G
Louise: “Consider yourself fortunate, commoner. Normally, you’d never in your life have a noble do this to you.”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMJuaXCc2k
Louise: “My name is Louise Francoise Le Blanc de La Valliere. Oh, pentagon that rules the five elements, bless this individual and-”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVu3FyqGqO
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8NVIxnSQp
‘Did you think this was it?’
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tsPlwmnTN
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.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOy7YmnfBtx
“Louise!?”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkBqKyOU4k
Everyone, including the dragon, looks at Louise with concern. Before anyone could go to her and see what’s wrong, something else extraordinary happens.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRkLq9tYXv
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.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfvIv1VqS0
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.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsJeKoNUxX
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.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMpGAJc11S
Raskeria: “The hell was that?”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0PEmX0evy
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.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SbiUrGFYE
Colbert: “A golem?”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUiUl0d6V4g
Dovahkiin: “No, something more.”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxCZqT8n81
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.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLoItEGyXx
Guiche: “Unhand me this instant!”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOTfsmWaSi
It didn’t respond instead it brought its other arm up and balled it into a fist.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI97WTZKzrO
Guiche: “You would dare hit a noble!? I tell you, my father is a gener-”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDYnvFOAH7
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.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhoFYHzZzKu
Colbert: “Mister Grammont!”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbmDxSdVvb
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.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRQN6GuMjY
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.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ruPME67UX
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.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡly44q4GuPy
Guiche: “L-Louise?”413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOmi4eYowe
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYv7aspgaMM
Colbert: “But how?”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0yehUcnbX
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.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsoiMvthIM
Raskeria: “Can this day get any crazier?”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpI5Gf2FDv
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.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzWWA5u4n3
Guiche: “How dare-”

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.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgxR1kJ3Px
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.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdb8a6scgQ
Regardless, Dova took the golem and threw it across the field away from the students.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQaajJefgc
While this was happening, the redhead took Louise to a safe distance. She could help but she wanted to keep Louise safe for now.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpo4twR6wd6
Raskeria: “That has to be among the strongest golems I’ve ever seen.”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5ISKDCjeN
Dovahkiin: “It’s like a Dwemer automation but more…advanced somehow.”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7VGiQK97T
Louise?: “I don’t remember you two when I left. Who are you two?”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdnoisD63j
Raskeria: “Talk later, fight now!”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9RdG5L7cL
Dovahkiin: “YOL TOOR SHUL!”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6TU7lWzYq
The dragon breathes intense heat at the golem while Raskeria casts a strange spell that also shoots bolts of fire.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2hBtlMCrT
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.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MZI2yiREH
Raskeria: “Okay, that thing is too dangerous. Disintegrate.”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWd1mqtVms
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.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2dv2WFPse
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.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lV7VPIhjz
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.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0iiZGSoAB
This proved to be the right choice when the sound of lightning cracked from the cloud of dust.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4hJN87upo
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.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1d8sCDKNrV
Raskeria: “Another one!? To think, I was just hanging out with friends and now I have to fight for my life.”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpllz1RFoBG
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.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaNfrmfktr
Eventually, the sound of clicking reached her ears. She disassembled her shield and placed her hands behind her with her palms open.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJl8vi8s8tw
Louise 2: ‘Here’s my chanc-”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwZeaKhVS6
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.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfab1SbuoAE
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.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0KlqLucdC
Raskeria: “Did Louise summon another one? I can’t deny it, that’s impressive.”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQYMGQlMLJ
Louise 2: “Friend or foe?”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzMwSDbmuL
Jake: “Depends on what happens next. The name’s Jake Logan Anderson, Jake will do.”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJgKRqcLC4
Dovahkiin: “FUS RO DAH”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUYkPKIcCw
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.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohYJdjBNVu
Dovahkiin: ‘I need to get used to this body and fast. I hope that was the last of them.’
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDgQPovqM8
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.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY51hMqdUuG
Louise 2: “Mr. Colbert!”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyZUVRcA1s
This seemed to jog the man from his shock.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilhTONOqGn
Colbert: “Um yes, what do you need Ms….you are Valliere right?”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOhaT9RBix
Louise 2: “Yes. Evacuate everyone from this place right now.”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Bxdwd2KNR
Raskeria: “Why? Isn’t it over?”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXZI9BywXD
Jake: “No, it’s never that easy.”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5OommvOV0
Louise 2: “He’s right, this courtyard isn’t safe anymore.”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmY34VFPVpp
The doppelganger looked at the strangers she fought with.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBopliTw0TK
Louise 2: “Can trust one of you to help Colbert protect everyone.”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIQxgYbqdh
Before any of them could answer, the red-head answered.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfQyUob7a6
“I’ll protect him along with…you I guess.”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PwEKju2hk
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.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyy5pGDeuD3
Louise 2: “And who are you?”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcoRwtJ4cq
“My name is Aeterna Flamma, your familiar.”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwKbv8W3rM
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.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuSxPpXGhM
Dovahkiin: “Trust her, she is stronger than she looks.”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEJD0MlNYH
Louise: 2: “…Fine. I won’t argue with a dragon. Especially not now.”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDfUSMAsCR
Aeterna: “Good, come on everyone.”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeZHUcsUux
Colbert: “Y-You heard them, we can’t stay here any-”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxg0mEIOvYI
Suddenly, the sound of something rattling made itself known throughout the courtyard. Louise 2 clicked her tongue.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSeE6dB5e5S
Louise 2: “Go, NOW!”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFtTy9PDzK
They followed her order, many out of fear of the sight before them. The 3 golems slowly but surely collapsed into strange black sand.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFNvg5lqWI
Jake: “What the fuck?! Are these truly machines?”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSViWXkcae
Raskeria: “I’m starting to question that too.”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQUqUjVMwM
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.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIai0Y9Z58
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.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMYu3SOIYq
The arms were next. The left was a massive blade and the right was a massive claw hand.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhRdbGN9gp
Finally, the head was bulky enough to discourage any beheading. But the most important part was the lines connecting to the chest area.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNloXTs8Jae
Louise 2: ‘That’s its weak point.’
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYrfXJlWAz
Its eyes finally light up and lock onto the fighters.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxgpVi1Hud
Louise 2: “Just my luck, a Ravager.”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXX9mWAyUp2
Raskeria: “A what?”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoLFuBAtkS
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.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddTMSGkADV
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.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbea8V39YOv
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.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHC2m0eG4j
Louise 2: “Go!”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFThdZ0tbU
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.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24XKuHUiTK
Raskeria aided the group with various spells, mostly fire and stuff like ‘Create Pit’.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajS4rp3lXm
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.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqnnItUkxr
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.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWWJ03ZIkZ
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.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9UCZsdQZ5
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.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoqn6lh45N
Raskeria: “Yeah, stay right there. Disintegrate.”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2Psbimz8q
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.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCBN1n3J70
Louise 2: “That won’t be enough! We need to destroy its core.”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRMlfXEzie
Jake: “Where is it then!?”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyCdE1knEc
Louise 2: “It was in its chest but who knows where it will be when it reforms.”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxMceNNhgm
They look back at Rask and she couldn’t help but rub the back of her head.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb78YjnlH2i
Raskeria: “My bad.”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJDDvSk8zY
Jake: “Tch, it’s like fighting a machine version of me.”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1q12NQ0qcM
Dovahkiin: “FO KRAH DIIN”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHu2KHsVkN
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.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6Nv1ml62w
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.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36uGv6QFqG
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.”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IW7mJLpaV
Raskeria: “What do you mean?”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkd260MQzAX
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.”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfoY1cW1UY6
Jake: “…Fine.”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBQJ5K7NvD
The other 2 nodded and got into position.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpb41SfpbV
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.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkRUE0W7kD
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.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoW9MBtISmG
Louise 2: “You got to be kidding me.”413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGalbDR6u1
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8G7RsHAzm
The Ravager started firing at everything below. Raskeria created another shield around everyone to block the heavy bullet fire.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecaAXOvzSW
Raskeria: “Dovahkiin, this is all you. I’ll focus on protecting everyone while you distract it enough to prevent it from firing.”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqTsuRFrEM
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.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwL6fvmiwr8
Despite Dovah’s best efforts though, Ravager wasn’t that bothered by it’s attacks. That was until Dovah started using more unique shouts.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoy1lb1icuc
Dovahkiin: “VEN GAAR NOS!”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PhtZwtIng
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.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvAkqpPN01
Louise 2: “Great, bring it down quick! I can see where the core is! Focus your attacks on its head!”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjuyvuGqOq
Raskeria: “I still need to keep the shield on Dovahkiin so I can’t attack.”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2fOgtRClU
Louise 2: “That’s a good thing, just focus on support.”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6plHtwyaZU
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.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6oUmWlOEI
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.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbOLjJ3BhD
Raskeria: “Was that…magic?”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CyqwCX9wp
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.”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxaHQewjqc
Dova shrugged it off but still lost some ground. Jake on the other hand was on fire and falling.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjQN3hi0TA
Jake: ‘Of course, it had to use fire and lightning of all things.’
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oLENvBooK
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.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSLDSkUDGU
It abandoned the dragon and went to delete the living weapon. But before it could, another welcomed surprise appeared. The final and winning variable.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzHBxNWQA9
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.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaDAyk7Fne
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.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9d96SQ9UF6
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.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmOsVF4gUf
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.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvtYKxn8lL
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.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIUgx6YZKs
Louise 2: “I don’t know who you are but if you can understand me, keep it down while I end this.”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30tfRt4aEK
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.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVV9hU9KgD
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.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oF1wTTqRN
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.’
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2OSpot3nO
The distance between them became smaller.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONoU3hzDPU
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.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9c8hbXqQVp

Arcs of pink electricity started to form around her.

413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsWkhfP00L
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.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTgr7bIY3W
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.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMInI6Cxpei
The sonic boom made it into everyone’s ears. Students screamed and even the fighters had to cover their ears as the ground quaked.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyM5ywS4TL0
The fighters aside from Jake ran up to the aftermath of the attack. Colbert also came running despite Aeterna’s warning.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65dcolrA8w
Good news, the Ravager now sported a missing head. Bad news, behind the Ravager was a badly damaged Louise 2.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7v2VveHmrk
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.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMaiXm5AFl
Raskeria: “Okay, that looks terrible. But I can fix this.”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0emUfZJU6
She started to create ice to cool her down before applying healing magic. But before she could a voice stopped her.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtcblCJhKd
“STOP, YOU’RE GOING TO KILL HER!”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqJWMd8evd
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.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUp4GLnxjK
Colbert: “Stop, any closer and we’ll consider you an enemy!”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5pAr7zNrw
Raskeria: “I vote enemy, where was he when everything was going wrong?”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpI29h030lJ
Louise 2: “B-Bench? I-Is that…y-you?”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3KG2iQXkp
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.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8aGnbiFWxY
Colbert: “Miss Valliere!”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9r0jhA2o0K
Louise 2: “Please…let Bench…come to me…professor.”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcevgt9BIzT
Raskeria: “But what about my magic? I can heal you good as new.”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBp30j5VaH
Louise 2: “Don’t…I…d-don’t know…what effect it…will h-have.”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXOwxNKrVa
Bench: “Listen to her, I know what to do. Trust me, she’s in good hands.”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcNgQ9tvpz
Raskeria: “…Fine. This whole thing is beyond me anyway.”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IXYL66oKk
Heeding his words, Raskeria and Colbert moved out of the way. Bench approached Louise 2 and a blue line scanned her entire being.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cWM01OezI
Bench: “You’ve really done it this time Louise.”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJH4XpbP0L
Louise 2: “Why does…it…matter…I destroyed…the Ravager.”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUAKqcM3WV
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.”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPf51bEFMP
Raskeria: ‘You mean what I was going to do?’
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZfNrxxLRa
Louise 2: “Then would…this help?”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydN1GptVzB
She asks while letting go of a red orb that was giving a low hum.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVMcF8jdCm
Bench: “Is that what I think it is?”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWy0H6xu6aI
Louise 2: “Y-You bet…it is.”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVl3OZGUjSh
A blue line passed over the orb from Bench.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAYQcw4gcp
Bench: “I can’t believe it, a Ravager core.”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarkyKQ5S04
Raskeria: “You mean that’s what we were fighting to destroy? Why is it intact?”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxR3uYIEIs
Bench: “Because this might be the only sure way to save Louise.”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorW7CRismC
Raskeria: “Magic is out but the core of that monster is okay?”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFaIdupnyK
Dovahkiin: “I agree, destroy it.”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmm0bQUVTu
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?”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh81kidXAvs
Raskeria: “No but I’m keeping my eye on you…and that.”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx15eJuQ3wI
Bench: “By all means.”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjMKPFCipZ

413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31a0mhjTiG
Louise 2: “That’s…good.”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAaEDAIyOy
Louise 2 finally succumbs to her wounds and passes out. Bench looks to Colbert and gives a stern order.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBE6hMFUW3j
Bench: “Take me to where your clinic is, I have a Hunter to repair!”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvp09e4Uca
Jake: “Wait a minute!”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhspb9Y9kwZ
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.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSJHysax4T
Bench: “What are you doing?!”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPh5mBS5rv
Jake: “Just because I helped defeat that thing doesn’t mean we’re allies. I need answers!”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXYSrh1HVs
Raskeria: “Calm down Jake, do you really want to fight everyone here?”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hHkVyBt6V
Jake: “…I’ll do what I have to.”

Colbert: “W-What do you want to know?”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8REPjL8fC
Bench: “We don’t have time for this! Louise will die if Colbert doesn’t show me to the clinic.”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVcBMUVAv1
Jake: “I don’t care.”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6oxePMrKd
Bench: “You-”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBT5y6R03hv
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.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBE6R70aCgz
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.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNpfzNVtKV
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.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLWeODWvEz
“Can you understand me?”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xjw67DseH
Raskeria: ‘A translation spell? Oh, he’s good.’
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDXjxF2tfV
Colbert: “Y-Yes.”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNaYGhGLT9
“Wonderful, my name is Zander and I’ll take them to the clinic.”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lm7vLe6eX
Colbert: “But how? You don’t know the way.”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcZAWdWGpM
Zander: “I’ll ask one of the students or the staff. I’m sure they’ll help.”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaobWK2Ux7d
With a slight twist of his wrist, Louise begins to float off the ground.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZMkSD7g5o
Zander: “Shall we go Bench?”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9JFI33wGG
Bench: “Yes, quickly now.”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuIyz1oVIa
They begin to leave but before that Zander gives a sharp glare to Jake.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ03CWpKMFh
Zander: “I hope I don’t have to come back here and deal with you Jake. I rather we be friends than enemies.”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQyVOPDThy
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.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvpeWDHFX1
No one said a word until Zander was gone.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXD1WHK2Fax
Colbert: “Okay, so what do you want to know Jake.”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfSZGjFLxx
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…”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wh5UjdYvn
Jake brings his blade a bit closer to Colbert which makes everyone tense up, ready for another fight.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2LE9oSWgh
Jake: “You will take me back to New York.”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1j8IgQ1I5B
Colbert: “I’m sorry but…there’s no way back. None that we know of.”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6nC6H7oOq
The moment those words left his mouth, he felt the urge to slice off his head.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQq3wKnxSYS
No way to get back to New York meant Blackwatch ran free and the only family he has left was in danger.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenqNaVXV2H
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.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvqXQjHvs1
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.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxGROJGRrG
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!”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvztg2a5hX
Colbert: “Sir, I’m truly sorry but there is no way to reverse this.”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13e7dp29tp
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.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpMZ1XIRHX
Raskeria: “There might be a way.”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTFUHCqMN2
Everyone turned toward the girl. Jake’s eyes widened with relief but also slow-cooking anger.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVKaJDN24r
Jake: “Tell me.”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxHpi7vn1L
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.”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UrOWW5lov
Jake: “Then-”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4UJx1XYzAJ
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…”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNHZHOrwn5
Jake: “Or?”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4FFBaU4IZ
Raskeria: “Learn magic and go yourself.”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBOkCYnNwd
Colbert: “Learn magic?”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAet4n05iO
Raskeria: “Yeah, it will be hard but it can be done.”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xIN94YoRh
Jake: “…”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhgTWBXMLb
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.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklnwPtgOsu
But still, time is of the essence. He can’t be gone for long.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovQa8EHKQr
Jake: “How long would it take for me to learn.”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMYkFypNdz
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.”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIikGbjyIY
Jake: ‘Years!? No, I don’t have that kind of time. I’ll leave that as a backup.’
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOubyHOieU6
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.”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1r1hBeynvs
Raskeria: “Sure, sure. Right now though, I’m tired. I’m going home and telling everyone what happened. See you. ‘gate’.”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMy5aftlxN
A rip in reality appears behind Raskeria. She yawns and goes through which causes it to close.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRF72M3nUed
Jake: ‘Tch, she better make good on our deal. Or I have another person on my list to kill here.’
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3k3FMPqPP
Jake: *Sigh*
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdH6bTdRwA
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.”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssC53GOAfK
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.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxwYyWpDq1
Colbert: “Well, you’re the last one. What will you do?”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpkXJuXDbI
Dovahkiin: “Stay for now. Jake’s situation seemed more serious than mine so he can get the gate treatment first. Besides…”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTB5FmALnF
Dovahkiin: ‘It’s not all Louise’s fault that I ended up here. Damn that dedric prince.’
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfG2kTZLnEc
Colbert: “Yes?”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2VKHBM1Nl
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.”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OLyA1xhup
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.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdiJWeSkay1
Colbert: “Brimir save us, what has Louise unleashed…”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2xBSfWvzF
[Louise’s Room]
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWvJVImwx5
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.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxS4hDudQn
She gently takes her to the bed and lies her down.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZW6mKIeEd
Aeterna: “Already, that power is drawing dangerous things to you.”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOCFZwlff8
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.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHdIezcwVZ
Aeterna: “Did she really expect me to sleep on that? I guess she was expecting an animal though.”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJK7OeEJfO
She looks down at her body and remembers that she’s still wearing lingerie.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtIuhNrvUl
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.”
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx08a6FiUtR
With that thought, Aeterna leaves the room.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6VGrF75VN
…
…
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmd7SP2jqm2
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.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigyzV9XXW6
‘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.’
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87bFNvbuAS
‘Hehe, I’m getting excited. Sweet dreams Louise.’
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcILK1a9O8V
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.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGfFRSQSVs
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.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhal7djSE2u
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.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTwWC2qk68
Among the clouds and across the forest, more rips threaten to form.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWKb0UMFAP
‘Let the games begin.’

413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmngIPespu
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.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkpoobquRr
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.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVD7MtExpvD
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.
