Welcome, to my first fan fic. After years, I finally gave in and tried a few.
412Please respect copyright.PENANA1PDi60vsfh
Mostly crossovers.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAoPMeVQEzdO
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.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAusSlFJeZnZ
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.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAzVZFod6rDb
They will be listed at the end of this one-shot.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAd6TtpxhNTK
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.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAQFbAx2llas
This is version 1 after all. If I can perfect the foundation and people like it, then I can continue.
412Please respect copyright.PENANArvH2FLbBnB
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.
412Please respect copyright.PENANA4uMVoigjaB
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.
412Please respect copyright.PENANASLYnfATamq
With that out of the way, let’s dive into this slice of eternity in a moment.
412Please respect copyright.PENANA5doVdMjTAI
412Please respect copyright.PENANAnGjjrE04Pv
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.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAJc0PZvHzWR
Aside from that though, they were also anxious. Anxious about what kind of familiar they would get.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAO37fRqonTI
A summoned familiar mirrors their master’s personality and elemental affinity. Who knows what hidden secrets their familiars may accidentally reveal to everyone?
412Please respect copyright.PENANAh4klmrXwN3
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.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAy3tPGgfhxN
Yes, all of them have tried and succeeded in summoning a familiar.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAWQLaCVmA07
Well, all but one.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAnP1nnHIJ0k
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.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAjKwEL6CXsg
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.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAUqJYiNooHg
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.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAvSVFCW3R2R
Colbert: “All right then, has everyone had their turn?”
412Please respect copyright.PENANAnzkuQm98T6
But the one to fully shatter her hopes was her bully and rival, Kirche von Zerbst. The busty chocolate beauty.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAqasxDRnKc2
Kirche: “No, not quite. Ms. Valliere hasn’t done it.”
412Please respect copyright.PENANAOnMo57r5yu
Louise: ‘Brimir, darn you Kirche.’
412Please respect copyright.PENANAnfiCyhM8EG
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.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAnxx7q4ayI0
Maybe then, she’ll be respected and can finally deliver some good news to her family.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAUBe1Yyl2FD
She goes to the summoning area and prepares to-
412Please respect copyright.PENANAItsbjUgtJn
“Louise the zero.”
412Please respect copyright.PENANA0ptwTPkEze
“What do you suppose she’ll summon”
412Please respect copyright.PENANA8tAjDg99WS
“There’s no way she can summon anything. We’ll just have another explosion and nothing else.”
412Please respect copyright.PENANA1c3rYnhdRT
Kirche: “With all your boasting, you should be able to summon up something more amazing than this. Right, Louise?”
412Please respect copyright.PENANAM4rem6Q4Bq
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.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAOyjvwXmThU
Louise: “Well of course!”
412Please respect copyright.PENANA64QES59qY6
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.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAHGMgL0Cm9J
She didn’t know it then but, someone was listening to her prayers.
412Please respect copyright.PENANADsqA0Lxxzh
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!”
412Please respect copyright.PENANASJuvw7v7Mm
“And so the die is cast.”
412Please respect copyright.PENANAg5d8B03FjG
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.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAu1qS8ikrY8
…
…
412Please respect copyright.PENANAo4iIjbPq4l
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.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAJkRewUdpgc
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.
412Please respect copyright.PENANA3jHgebsaqv
The students quickly collected themselves and began their favorite pass time.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAnwC3DmQApF
“Hah, I knew it! Once a Zero always a Zero.”
412Please respect copyright.PENANAug6XmHFbNp
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.
412Please respect copyright.PENANA6Q67FYLb9s
The one most scared was Slyphid, the medium-sized blue dragon summoned by the petite blue-haired Tabitha.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAXJW5GMwIfF
Tabitha: “What?”
412Please respect copyright.PENANAGA4IKdkPBP
Her question brought Slyphid’s head around to look her in the eyes. With their intimate bond, Slyphid was able to respond telepathically.
412Please respect copyright.PENANA45ByaHV4kf
Slyphid: ‘I smell her! I’m Frightened! But…there’s…more than just her…a…Predator.’
412Please respect copyright.PENANARyLNICTffh
The panicked voice in her head startled Tabitha. For a rhyme dragon of all things to be frightened…
412Please respect copyright.PENANA76ROyE48H6
Tabitha: “What do you…mean?”
412Please respect copyright.PENANAUrfDB05Nsb
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.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAt0E4Ir6JTW
Louise: ‘Wait!? Shadows?’
412Please respect copyright.PENANAkeXNKZwi9M
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.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAptvt5A7NY9
When the smoke cleared, something completely unexpected awaited everyone. Not only did Louise summon a human but she summoned multiple familiars.
412Please respect copyright.PENANADaHGtIfoxQ
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.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAtbxhCOS74w
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.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAsNiliLnsmX
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.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAkXqwJFgRQE
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.
412Please respect copyright.PENANASQ2jDtmCYj
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.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAoDkKx5kxP4
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.
412Please respect copyright.PENANA9UjnmT655Y
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.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAw5shysD1S3
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.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAgknyCHJSss
As for Louise, she just couldn’t look away. Especially after what happened next.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAyDj7QCKRN1
“Kolo Zu’u, druv los tinvaak dovahzul?”
412Please respect copyright.PENANABfOrgHLvVY
…
…412Please respect copyright.PENANAzyVEbqc52s
412Please respect copyright.PENANALXvFdJ1oCi
Kirche: “Did that dragon just…speak?”
412Please respect copyright.PENANA7uhWFQ8dhh
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.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAPlLziAgfpQ
After a few moments of conversation and looking around, they stopped and looked at Louise.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAUDOy9hSy57
“Okay, who summoned us?”
412Please respect copyright.PENANAqjnOgUUL5l
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.
412Please respect copyright.PENANA9rShG16UPv
Louise: “I-I did. My name is Louise Francoise Le Blanc de La Valliere.”412Please respect copyright.PENANA7FXq3hGPj3
412Please respect copyright.PENANAbp2bFNaktQ
“Well hi Louise, my name is Raskreia or Rask for short. This dragon is named Dovahkiin, strange name I know.”
412Please respect copyright.PENANAZgcilf1o4j
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.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAGkcOSUvGTI
412Please respect copyright.PENANAv9l0ny6575
Raskreia: “Now, I have questions but first I think we should help the kid.”
412Please respect copyright.PENANAWBVaJ5dPxb
412Please respect copyright.PENANA1SZm2Hjcwp
Colbert finally escaped his shock and agreed. He asks some students to carry the boy to the infirmary.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAtKKluceyGn
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.
412Please respect copyright.PENANABGpXL414Rt
Colbert: ‘Who knows what could’ve happened if we delayed any further.’
412Please respect copyright.PENANA7akq7wM2qg
“Ugh, what, is with the racket.”
412Please respect copyright.PENANAQuBgPzgT0H
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.
412Please respect copyright.PENANATzxJZh3pu7
“I slept in an inn in my underwear, and I wake up in a summoning circle in them. Ugh, what even?”
412Please respect copyright.PENANAJMnTzJUrgG
Raskreia: “Well, looks who’s awake.”
412Please respect copyright.PENANAR320IhFOFd
She sighs.412Please respect copyright.PENANAFAFMk7eIWb
412Please respect copyright.PENANA6n7n7spr7A
“And I am surrounded by children and a strange dragon.”
412Please respect copyright.PENANAkWIGqvtJYw
Colbert: “Since everyone is awake, not including the injured, we should proceed with the bonding ritual.”412Please respect copyright.PENANAcvaqf3H0cE
412Please respect copyright.PENANA4I4HB2Nyje
Raskreia: “Sure, if you’re going to explain to us what in the nine hells is going on here exactly and where we are?”412Please respect copyright.PENANAE1R9k5Gctg
412Please respect copyright.PENANAtdPPmpqf4k
At this, Louise answers before the man could.412Please respect copyright.PENANAlxE4VRGTCe
412Please respect copyright.PENANAW4KnjlQwr8
Louise: “You’re here because I summoned you all to be my familiar with the summon servant spell, and I am your master now.”
412Please respect copyright.PENANAz39IsqEq6v
Rask rolls her eyes while the other 2 had more animated responses.412Please respect copyright.PENANAxrbIVQ0vGg
412Please respect copyright.PENANAjvPpcVRaHZ
“Whoa, back the fuck up. Why should I be your familiar?”412Please respect copyright.PENANAECnuIWf3HM
412Please respect copyright.PENANAz0hvJ6vysB
Dovahkiin: “What do you mean by bonding?”412Please respect copyright.PENANAnUUwpDI8RA
412Please respect copyright.PENANA6c3mBGTpjT
Everyone except Rask blinked. That was in Tristainian.412Please respect copyright.PENANAJuFZmjK3Ab
412Please respect copyright.PENANAaU5B3d8yWF
Dovahkiin: “Oh, so now my voice returns.”
412Please respect copyright.PENANAbve437dSIh
Colbert: “You can speak our language?”
412Please respect copyright.PENANATcvZ6uDIBr
Dovahkiin: “I can speak this language, but before I was…confused and spoke in native Dovahzul.”
412Please respect copyright.PENANAnb02TZAqmo
Raskreia: “Really? I guess I don’t need this anymore then.”
412Please respect copyright.PENANATPVdzSVlgS
Rask puts the ring back in her bag.
412Please respect copyright.PENANA814oPLUqFE
Colbert: “Dovahzul, I haven’t heard of that language.”
412Please respect copyright.PENANAlj8KVr6o4I
“Neither have I, strange.”
412Please respect copyright.PENANAodHJGnqnny
Dovahkiin: “Enough of this, what do you mean by bonding?”
412Please respect copyright.PENANAuKyPcLanMg
Despite the group before her, Louise bravely stepped forward again.
412Please respect copyright.PENANA5cVPEUCG1J
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.”
412Please respect copyright.PENANAkeB73iGHH2
The reactions from all summoned present varied but none good.412Please respect copyright.PENANAnzydivm3MF
412Please respect copyright.PENANANSCaVXh3Mu
Raskreia: “I’m fine with getting summoned but getting branded like some animal, no thanks.”412Please respect copyright.PENANAofo5iIBTVT
412Please respect copyright.PENANAFFPAJvrOYy
Louise’s mood quickly deteriorates but there’s still hope she thought. She summoned more than one, surely one would agree.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAaWDeCdSm9b
But that thought quickly faded away when the dragon growled. It drew itself up by stretching its wings down and glared at Louise.
412Please respect copyright.PENANASU8B8HXpwe
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?”
412Please respect copyright.PENANAnZmTotIzcl
Raskreia: ‘Oh no, they made the dragon mad. That’s never a good idea. No matter the plane.’
412Please respect copyright.PENANAX64vCy4Kho
Colbert stepped in as Louise faltered and took several steps back.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAcOuU6fRNO1
Colbert: “It’s how the holy ritual has been performed for hundreds of years.”
412Please respect copyright.PENANAwZNoOXRrmU
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.”
412Please respect copyright.PENANARy7ba1C0Ey
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.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAl1XtWB3FJF
Dovahkiin: “I for one refuse to become anyone’s slave. I simply want to return to the life I lived before this all occurred.”
412Please respect copyright.PENANA7zEhYdBg2U
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.”
412Please respect copyright.PENANAoNuOmA1YWt
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.’412Please respect copyright.PENANArdkBbSjcMW
412Please respect copyright.PENANAOmvPv2W9bk
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.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAQVMoLeOLr0
She grips her wand tightly, wishing this was all a dream. Unbeknownst to her, there was one that considered her offer.
412Please respect copyright.PENANA6n2Pf59wKU
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.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAfXvVL9kP3F
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.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAPr1JssQTtn
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.412Please respect copyright.PENANAGBuwLoCMz8
412Please respect copyright.PENANAbsU9cqE2Ve
She knew intimately what happens in situations like that. Despite her previous obligations, the redhead made her choice.412Please respect copyright.PENANA6zUDzyqFkg
412Please respect copyright.PENANA9EnwULFA7j
“If a familiar is what you seek, then you shall have one. I agree to be yours.”
412Please respect copyright.PENANA9YXGaskkY4
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.
412Please respect copyright.PENANA4f5ODOMvlH
Dovahkiin: “You!? You would subject yourself as a slave to a child? Where is your pride as a Dovah?”
412Please respect copyright.PENANAcFQkHeXdTq
“Dovah? I see, that's your word for it. So you can tell?”
412Please respect copyright.PENANAqXnCUtF7Vr
Dovahkiin: *Nod*
412Please respect copyright.PENANAH3paXFSsh6
“I have my own reasons.”
412Please respect copyright.PENANAclNRbxUVO4
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.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAhjc3iLjGnH
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?
412Please respect copyright.PENANAobPBpzvJ1A
Raskreia: “Well I won’t judge you. It’s your choice.”
412Please respect copyright.PENANADyPmBLWw6K
Louise reapplies her rule of steel mask and starts towards the redhead. She let out an indignant, resigned huff as she raised her wand.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAAm2l7QEXbF
Louise: “Consider yourself fortunate, commoner. Normally, you’d never in your life have a noble do this to you.”
412Please respect copyright.PENANAJgdAnTeL9a
Louise: “My name is Louise Francoise Le Blanc de La Valliere. Oh, pentagon that rules the five elements, bless this individual and-”
412Please respect copyright.PENANAxL26HTjI01
412Please respect copyright.PENANAibbd7eTksV
‘Did you think this was it?’
412Please respect copyright.PENANANroNLenMmy
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.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAsPMTyfhP63
“Louise!?”
412Please respect copyright.PENANACDM86w0ZRT
Everyone, including the dragon, looks at Louise with concern. Before anyone could go to her and see what’s wrong, something else extraordinary happens.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAB4dNFzUjb5
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.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAJF6W8NY4Nt
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.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAC5jn5FFMBR
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.
412Please respect copyright.PENANASEt5JTiOVl
Raskeria: “The hell was that?”
412Please respect copyright.PENANAoSJRBehUxu
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.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAFBWuDH9zfx
Colbert: “A golem?”
412Please respect copyright.PENANA4KcBGk8FiQ
Dovahkiin: “No, something more.”
412Please respect copyright.PENANAWddHwgh7ut
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.
412Please respect copyright.PENANATzQUDoWYds
Guiche: “Unhand me this instant!”
412Please respect copyright.PENANAwDm6EIA66O
It didn’t respond instead it brought its other arm up and balled it into a fist.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAgsCYGodmKz
Guiche: “You would dare hit a noble!? I tell you, my father is a gener-”
412Please respect copyright.PENANAvdomrEkIWH
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.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAv9HyJlPiHh
Colbert: “Mister Grammont!”
412Please respect copyright.PENANA8mABeV5MCO
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.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAviqMpij3VS
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.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAx0grsWEYY6
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.
412Please respect copyright.PENANALcMvHS9pTa
Guiche: “L-Louise?”412Please respect copyright.PENANA1Fm0tP30wZ
412Please respect copyright.PENANAjhxMz8A0oW
Colbert: “But how?”
412Please respect copyright.PENANANAk9q7NIJI
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.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAIXzU1D8uWD
Raskeria: “Can this day get any crazier?”
412Please respect copyright.PENANAgJNmzF10SG
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.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAGp4xqM8CVS
Guiche: “How dare-”
412Please respect copyright.PENANAYmAT0EIATp
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.
412Please respect copyright.PENANANSksWRTRxp
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.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAj1eCdCIJr0
Regardless, Dova took the golem and threw it across the field away from the students.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAsREjUiT6yc
While this was happening, the redhead took Louise to a safe distance. She could help but she wanted to keep Louise safe for now.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAYH7JuQGmmm
Raskeria: “That has to be among the strongest golems I’ve ever seen.”
412Please respect copyright.PENANABNNwNP1s7x
Dovahkiin: “It’s like a Dwemer automation but more…advanced somehow.”
412Please respect copyright.PENANAn3NgbisdKg
Louise?: “I don’t remember you two when I left. Who are you two?”
412Please respect copyright.PENANAfGRFgrwUX5
Raskeria: “Talk later, fight now!”
412Please respect copyright.PENANAufGjI3828O
Dovahkiin: “YOL TOOR SHUL!”
412Please respect copyright.PENANASNK0ki4plF
The dragon breathes intense heat at the golem while Raskeria casts a strange spell that also shoots bolts of fire.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAsH5rWFYsFU
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.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAWq5MAHL2YA
Raskeria: “Okay, that thing is too dangerous. Disintegrate.”
412Please respect copyright.PENANA5Q67u3ploe
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.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAmBn6w0deNd
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.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAK2Ek6zdyXQ
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.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAnxesxbZ85n
This proved to be the right choice when the sound of lightning cracked from the cloud of dust.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAZu83aEizjP
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.
412Please respect copyright.PENANARy71qPbHNv
Raskeria: “Another one!? To think, I was just hanging out with friends and now I have to fight for my life.”
412Please respect copyright.PENANAB01KEMWje8
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.
412Please respect copyright.PENANA06wpxmqze4
Eventually, the sound of clicking reached her ears. She disassembled her shield and placed her hands behind her with her palms open.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAiSRvt3sBg2
Louise 2: ‘Here’s my chanc-”
412Please respect copyright.PENANA8jdO1SpCUb
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.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAIdMKbbAsLx
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.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAvDtIqjFk0q
Raskeria: “Did Louise summon another one? I can’t deny it, that’s impressive.”
412Please respect copyright.PENANAaDa0SGxvdI
Louise 2: “Friend or foe?”
412Please respect copyright.PENANAgTUaOCeHpn
Jake: “Depends on what happens next. The name’s Jake Logan Anderson, Jake will do.”
412Please respect copyright.PENANA8LPimxrK6A
Dovahkiin: “FUS RO DAH”
412Please respect copyright.PENANAwJFbZPriy5
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.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAiNxxvjJQIi
Dovahkiin: ‘I need to get used to this body and fast. I hope that was the last of them.’
412Please respect copyright.PENANAs4RChF4mKr
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.
412Please respect copyright.PENANA5uOSGCtBRg
Louise 2: “Mr. Colbert!”
412Please respect copyright.PENANAaeqapirZFT
This seemed to jog the man from his shock.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAYvDDyrwIsJ
Colbert: “Um yes, what do you need Ms….you are Valliere right?”
412Please respect copyright.PENANAdefuUUgxNn
Louise 2: “Yes. Evacuate everyone from this place right now.”
412Please respect copyright.PENANAjezlQye6e8
Raskeria: “Why? Isn’t it over?”
412Please respect copyright.PENANAaU0nJvIjbf
Jake: “No, it’s never that easy.”
412Please respect copyright.PENANAstfEkVNT7m
Louise 2: “He’s right, this courtyard isn’t safe anymore.”
412Please respect copyright.PENANAEFoABEOTed
The doppelganger looked at the strangers she fought with.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAKDkjKRJNPx
Louise 2: “Can trust one of you to help Colbert protect everyone.”
412Please respect copyright.PENANA4XcEIoZ8X4
Before any of them could answer, the red-head answered.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAjo2HjlFlwj
“I’ll protect him along with…you I guess.”
412Please respect copyright.PENANApLEfCijwhP
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.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAcMFv48wyd0
Louise 2: “And who are you?”
412Please respect copyright.PENANAew5YN3bdxH
“My name is Aeterna Flamma, your familiar.”
412Please respect copyright.PENANAWiVPIUkrxG
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.
412Please respect copyright.PENANA2GJTK4cc7I
Dovahkiin: “Trust her, she is stronger than she looks.”
412Please respect copyright.PENANAez4idFLIy7
Louise: 2: “…Fine. I won’t argue with a dragon. Especially not now.”
412Please respect copyright.PENANAwHiTldc7Qe
Aeterna: “Good, come on everyone.”
412Please respect copyright.PENANA2VABDx8q6B
Colbert: “Y-You heard them, we can’t stay here any-”
412Please respect copyright.PENANAVG70v4pFZ4
Suddenly, the sound of something rattling made itself known throughout the courtyard. Louise 2 clicked her tongue.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAot8jykM8gM
Louise 2: “Go, NOW!”
412Please respect copyright.PENANAM3HE87Uyuq
They followed her order, many out of fear of the sight before them. The 3 golems slowly but surely collapsed into strange black sand.
412Please respect copyright.PENANABz7uu8mP7j
Jake: “What the fuck?! Are these truly machines?”
412Please respect copyright.PENANAzAjUGA5uts
Raskeria: “I’m starting to question that too.”
412Please respect copyright.PENANAknpOOUTCEu
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.
412Please respect copyright.PENANA3f0qWCkKas
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.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAzrpalNzWqu
The arms were next. The left was a massive blade and the right was a massive claw hand.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAokdup6LhTa
Finally, the head was bulky enough to discourage any beheading. But the most important part was the lines connecting to the chest area.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAt97I7tqlwY
Louise 2: ‘That’s its weak point.’
412Please respect copyright.PENANAmrYJGv3Xyh
Its eyes finally light up and lock onto the fighters.
412Please respect copyright.PENANArqE0cZfg99
Louise 2: “Just my luck, a Ravager.”
412Please respect copyright.PENANAOzjz15ElUn
Raskeria: “A what?”
412Please respect copyright.PENANANM4CtgZpHG
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.
412Please respect copyright.PENANA91wwZPrJHL
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.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAZ2nt3awWmz
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.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAlyj7NNZm5o
Louise 2: “Go!”
412Please respect copyright.PENANA1J4n1UsUCB
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.
412Please respect copyright.PENANA1WuCei8ke2
Raskeria aided the group with various spells, mostly fire and stuff like ‘Create Pit’.
412Please respect copyright.PENANA5A1y429b8O
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.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAjiuVMYi4hG
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.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAOZJ3yDwlG8
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.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAZFbqJxNTa6
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.
412Please respect copyright.PENANADEb8qw3Dnj
Raskeria: “Yeah, stay right there. Disintegrate.”
412Please respect copyright.PENANAqKZ98fR339
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.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAYf1XUVAzF7
Louise 2: “That won’t be enough! We need to destroy its core.”
412Please respect copyright.PENANA5CkezuZaII
Jake: “Where is it then!?”
412Please respect copyright.PENANA8uDcLPtwqA
Louise 2: “It was in its chest but who knows where it will be when it reforms.”
412Please respect copyright.PENANAWYa4Val5Gn
They look back at Rask and she couldn’t help but rub the back of her head.
412Please respect copyright.PENANA04hrNc9MJL
Raskeria: “My bad.”
412Please respect copyright.PENANA65lJSp4DBe
Jake: “Tch, it’s like fighting a machine version of me.”
412Please respect copyright.PENANAFsQUr2b5cU
Dovahkiin: “FO KRAH DIIN”
412Please respect copyright.PENANAX8j0iIuShD
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.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAHeX5N7TV1H
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.
412Please respect copyright.PENANACVWZJwksJM
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.”
412Please respect copyright.PENANAu3YNKyVS2C
Raskeria: “What do you mean?”
412Please respect copyright.PENANAvCl78g1Z2t
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.”
412Please respect copyright.PENANAuHO1M36FZv
Jake: “…Fine.”
412Please respect copyright.PENANAiR2i8tjmb0
The other 2 nodded and got into position.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAASHWee9v23
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.
412Please respect copyright.PENANATaifMpnBzd
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.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAZuKqSGYjMj
Louise 2: “You got to be kidding me.”412Please respect copyright.PENANAFuJsf05mcO
412Please respect copyright.PENANAvHizOmLpyJ
The Ravager started firing at everything below. Raskeria created another shield around everyone to block the heavy bullet fire.
412Please respect copyright.PENANA42koSUilzv
Raskeria: “Dovahkiin, this is all you. I’ll focus on protecting everyone while you distract it enough to prevent it from firing.”
412Please respect copyright.PENANA78Mwcg9dcQ
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.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAm6xkfi9s7N
Despite Dovah’s best efforts though, Ravager wasn’t that bothered by it’s attacks. That was until Dovah started using more unique shouts.
412Please respect copyright.PENANA3xI1KWVHzH
Dovahkiin: “VEN GAAR NOS!”
412Please respect copyright.PENANAqifzkrDDBg
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.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAJZLUZ7OJUO
Louise 2: “Great, bring it down quick! I can see where the core is! Focus your attacks on its head!”
412Please respect copyright.PENANAS63BZNake2
Raskeria: “I still need to keep the shield on Dovahkiin so I can’t attack.”
412Please respect copyright.PENANAR10560m9ja
Louise 2: “That’s a good thing, just focus on support.”
412Please respect copyright.PENANA4cxssAujjS
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.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAudmgvP3LHn
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.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAGxmKkDtLvY
Raskeria: “Was that…magic?”
412Please respect copyright.PENANAWDx8HFoDcM
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.”
412Please respect copyright.PENANAjryG4aInNC
Dova shrugged it off but still lost some ground. Jake on the other hand was on fire and falling.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAMIkg5yvWoj
Jake: ‘Of course, it had to use fire and lightning of all things.’
412Please respect copyright.PENANAPwZOIsjNNA
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.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAokAzkuCsPn
It abandoned the dragon and went to delete the living weapon. But before it could, another welcomed surprise appeared. The final and winning variable.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAJrkJLbHmp7
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.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAeodLZOMCGJ
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.
412Please respect copyright.PENANATOgc4UcN4P
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.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAKRpGREVP1q
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.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAisJ6w2yIzg
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.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAwbTuhMwc5y
Louise 2: “I don’t know who you are but if you can understand me, keep it down while I end this.”
412Please respect copyright.PENANASoui61dao7
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.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAFthP2J1xs5
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.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAVS3a4RcyXz
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.’
412Please respect copyright.PENANAnLrfs6h9gD
The distance between them became smaller.
412Please respect copyright.PENANA88Tk8ADCBS
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.
412Please respect copyright.PENANA9gWdZoUZ0N
20 meters
412Please respect copyright.PENANAdhlE0LkpuY
Arcs of pink electricity started to form around her.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAXC6KBVLTDS
15 meters
412Please respect copyright.PENANAMgZfZ5tQTt
She opened her eyes; her vision was surrounded by plenty of warnings but she dismissed them.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAotXgUVYQG7
10 meters
412Please respect copyright.PENANAnPwyKsHGR9
Louise 2: “Adapt to this!”
412Please respect copyright.PENANA2AwPSHrmAo
5 meters
412Please respect copyright.PENANA467mganqFA
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.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAZZSPq9kfGm
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.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAnIdb8c5fqQ
The sonic boom made it into everyone’s ears. Students screamed and even the fighters had to cover their ears as the ground quaked.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAAb2lnPHH8y
The fighters aside from Jake ran up to the aftermath of the attack. Colbert also came running despite Aeterna’s warning.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAmIIYU71vuU
Good news, the Ravager now sported a missing head. Bad news, behind the Ravager was a badly damaged Louise 2.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAInYpxFrjDR
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.
412Please respect copyright.PENANArfbqoWMCeI
Raskeria: “Okay, that looks terrible. But I can fix this.”
412Please respect copyright.PENANA34xwzlCYUi
She started to create ice to cool her down before applying healing magic. But before she could a voice stopped her.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAeLPbjuRbrq
“STOP, YOU’RE GOING TO KILL HER!”
412Please respect copyright.PENANA0gUZa2pLrD
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.
412Please respect copyright.PENANArIa513XX1j
Colbert: “Stop, any closer and we’ll consider you an enemy!”
412Please respect copyright.PENANAfGGMFJIQW0
Raskeria: “I vote enemy, where was he when everything was going wrong?”
412Please respect copyright.PENANAoZFF0kust5
Louise 2: “B-Bench? I-Is that…y-you?”
412Please respect copyright.PENANAWCKd6ssMIL
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.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAmganzT8R2D
Colbert: “Miss Valliere!”
412Please respect copyright.PENANAy9v7xH987T
Louise 2: “Please…let Bench…come to me…professor.”
412Please respect copyright.PENANAq5LzeEIr4h
Raskeria: “But what about my magic? I can heal you good as new.”
412Please respect copyright.PENANAbzPdqE1M36
Louise 2: “Don’t…I…d-don’t know…what effect it…will h-have.”
412Please respect copyright.PENANAqphwnpOcyy
Bench: “Listen to her, I know what to do. Trust me, she’s in good hands.”
412Please respect copyright.PENANAZF4bDs2dwP
Raskeria: “…Fine. This whole thing is beyond me anyway.”
412Please respect copyright.PENANAsAYmeaz6fg
Heeding his words, Raskeria and Colbert moved out of the way. Bench approached Louise 2 and a blue line scanned her entire being.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAXsdZbeRhQ0
Bench: “You’ve really done it this time Louise.”
412Please respect copyright.PENANAKmzicmD4h9
Louise 2: “Why does…it…matter…I destroyed…the Ravager.”
412Please respect copyright.PENANA7qy5dE0F7o
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.”
412Please respect copyright.PENANALSlxQXwigd
Raskeria: ‘You mean what I was going to do?’
412Please respect copyright.PENANA6jFm2y0s7d
Louise 2: “Then would…this help?”
412Please respect copyright.PENANAGfhXUVD1b1
She asks while letting go of a red orb that was giving a low hum.
412Please respect copyright.PENANA7qjYCD1IyJ
Bench: “Is that what I think it is?”
412Please respect copyright.PENANAiknnethjDQ
Louise 2: “Y-You bet…it is.”
412Please respect copyright.PENANA3avXUj16Er
A blue line passed over the orb from Bench.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAaveakZKt2o
Bench: “I can’t believe it, a Ravager core.”
412Please respect copyright.PENANAysXQfyC5Do
Raskeria: “You mean that’s what we were fighting to destroy? Why is it intact?”
412Please respect copyright.PENANAGnRHFeIJML
Bench: “Because this might be the only sure way to save Louise.”
412Please respect copyright.PENANAGSUNY0UW7v
Raskeria: “Magic is out but the core of that monster is okay?”
412Please respect copyright.PENANAxINBKfvSb1
Dovahkiin: “I agree, destroy it.”
412Please respect copyright.PENANApBzulsDT5R
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?”
412Please respect copyright.PENANAzVEwBMpkEk
Raskeria: “No but I’m keeping my eye on you…and that.”
412Please respect copyright.PENANA5VNXKKEcpb
Bench: “By all means.”
412Please respect copyright.PENANAvXYixjEEhM
Louise 2: “So…can you…d-do it Bench?”
412Please respect copyright.PENANATP7i1AndiG
Bench: “Do you know who you’re talking to?
412Please respect copyright.PENANAviXwMLnJ8D
Louise 2: “That’s…good.”
412Please respect copyright.PENANAP6BmIAtPZE
Louise 2 finally succumbs to her wounds and passes out. Bench looks to Colbert and gives a stern order.
412Please respect copyright.PENANARrwMyVE3FN
Bench: “Take me to where your clinic is, I have a Hunter to repair!”
412Please respect copyright.PENANA5plAUeE6x3
Jake: “Wait a minute!”
412Please respect copyright.PENANAFexyPBkzmL
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.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAANicci7ajP
Bench: “What are you doing?!”
412Please respect copyright.PENANAgO6w3WC3e4
Jake: “Just because I helped defeat that thing doesn’t mean we’re allies. I need answers!”
412Please respect copyright.PENANAeQjcMxIrWW
Raskeria: “Calm down Jake, do you really want to fight everyone here?”
412Please respect copyright.PENANA0jrM99mWml
Jake: “…I’ll do what I have to.”
412Please respect copyright.PENANArbB8Jv79Tu
Colbert: “W-What do you want to know?”
412Please respect copyright.PENANA51655sKj2L
Bench: “We don’t have time for this! Louise will die if Colbert doesn’t show me to the clinic.”
412Please respect copyright.PENANAWwZphoPAnj
Jake: “I don’t care.”
412Please respect copyright.PENANA1eQS4sm4W5
Bench: “You-”
412Please respect copyright.PENANAGDcrMIjFvq
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.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAArp6EEC5OW
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.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAsrosW4kxaJ
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.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAx1j7UYoxn1
“Can you understand me?”
412Please respect copyright.PENANAsQRIFcSUOT
Raskeria: ‘A translation spell? Oh, he’s good.’
412Please respect copyright.PENANAqdrMCJWfKa
Colbert: “Y-Yes.”
412Please respect copyright.PENANAJPvrHaMLLX
“Wonderful, my name is Zander and I’ll take them to the clinic.”
412Please respect copyright.PENANA4UhBc3g8m4
Colbert: “But how? You don’t know the way.”
412Please respect copyright.PENANA0hjKG76aex
Zander: “I’ll ask one of the students or the staff. I’m sure they’ll help.”
412Please respect copyright.PENANASljGvxQLzk
With a slight twist of his wrist, Louise begins to float off the ground.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAuncoHoDOyJ
Zander: “Shall we go Bench?”
412Please respect copyright.PENANAQfGyHUIcHC
Bench: “Yes, quickly now.”
412Please respect copyright.PENANAM5lqgh89YS
They begin to leave but before that Zander gives a sharp glare to Jake.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAsMouR9Zdmy
Zander: “I hope I don’t have to come back here and deal with you Jake. I rather we be friends than enemies.”
412Please respect copyright.PENANAxSsj2WiGaE
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.
412Please respect copyright.PENANA83Ei8gtZFJ
No one said a word until Zander was gone.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAqoYMLRMcLJ
Colbert: “Okay, so what do you want to know Jake.”
412Please respect copyright.PENANAzf87GfRuG6
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…”
412Please respect copyright.PENANATUef6PiMRV
Jake brings his blade a bit closer to Colbert which makes everyone tense up, ready for another fight.
412Please respect copyright.PENANALp8vbFmiKB
Jake: “You will take me back to New York.”
412Please respect copyright.PENANA7kU9YA7AOW
Colbert: “I’m sorry but…there’s no way back. None that we know of.”
412Please respect copyright.PENANApjLmWVTXy2
The moment those words left his mouth, he felt the urge to slice off his head.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAAwfQUaRsyw
No way to get back to New York meant Blackwatch ran free and the only family he has left was in danger.
412Please respect copyright.PENANA7c6VZaPmOK
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.
412Please respect copyright.PENANA7pumUChZhJ
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.
412Please respect copyright.PENANA5OhsENsn8A
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!”
412Please respect copyright.PENANAA7alNa5fj3
Colbert: “Sir, I’m truly sorry but there is no way to reverse this.”
412Please respect copyright.PENANAhaMqQBsnBr
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.
412Please respect copyright.PENANASLCuDG0CFF
Raskeria: “There might be a way.”
412Please respect copyright.PENANAANOSb5cJtT
Everyone turned toward the girl. Jake’s eyes widened with relief but also slow-cooking anger.
412Please respect copyright.PENANA0yftgiXGv6
Jake: “Tell me.”
412Please respect copyright.PENANAdd8geQXup9
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.”
412Please respect copyright.PENANAhYGdEeDUEO
Jake: “Then-”
412Please respect copyright.PENANAxORkgvObwJ
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…”
412Please respect copyright.PENANAJKpnbMumz2
Jake: “Or?”
412Please respect copyright.PENANAhiLbMBWGU3
Raskeria: “Learn magic and go yourself.”
412Please respect copyright.PENANAyWluBYxDon
Colbert: “Learn magic?”
412Please respect copyright.PENANAzkMAzpPygq
Raskeria: “Yeah, it will be hard but it can be done.”
412Please respect copyright.PENANAeM9OuDseOD
Jake: “…”
412Please respect copyright.PENANA4aKEZzRPRf
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.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAOIhUsgRQ2R
But still, time is of the essence. He can’t be gone for long.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAYglqVMOpxd
Jake: “How long would it take for me to learn.”
412Please respect copyright.PENANAS4mrHznVdT
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.”
412Please respect copyright.PENANAu3Q78HMmC2
Jake: ‘Years!? No, I don’t have that kind of time. I’ll leave that as a backup.’
412Please respect copyright.PENANA8MboWzd4du
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.”
412Please respect copyright.PENANAYZ83EkKsPX
Raskeria: “Sure, sure. Right now though, I’m tired. I’m going home and telling everyone what happened. See you. ‘gate’.”
412Please respect copyright.PENANAH29TCjcjzB
A rip in reality appears behind Raskeria. She yawns and goes through which causes it to close.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAe41v3UgmOz
Jake: ‘Tch, she better make good on our deal. Or I have another person on my list to kill here.’
412Please respect copyright.PENANAWZJvgZtnp6
Jake: *Sigh*
412Please respect copyright.PENANA1tSM0aU1IO
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.”
412Please respect copyright.PENANAkBcyIZuMlM
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.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAMJ2bPCHQUd
Colbert: “Well, you’re the last one. What will you do?”
412Please respect copyright.PENANA5ptZGTGJgQ
Dovahkiin: “Stay for now. Jake’s situation seemed more serious than mine so he can get the gate treatment first. Besides…”
412Please respect copyright.PENANAaNkRiW2wMb
Dovahkiin: ‘It’s not all Louise’s fault that I ended up here. Damn that dedric prince.’
412Please respect copyright.PENANAmVRVaTF552
Colbert: “Yes?”
412Please respect copyright.PENANAmRhvPrYxuq
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.”
412Please respect copyright.PENANAvt61dyehio
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.
412Please respect copyright.PENANA6YzKnhFUdG
Colbert: “Brimir save us, what has Louise unleashed…”
412Please respect copyright.PENANABforXCZ6CM
[Louise’s Room]
412Please respect copyright.PENANASkPk6VgCEF
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.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAwHG10zy1W1
She gently takes her to the bed and lies her down.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAMktJ8bkC4Y
Aeterna: “Already, that power is drawing dangerous things to you.”
412Please respect copyright.PENANA2ekmKOuRB2
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.
412Please respect copyright.PENANACW4i61dhbl
Aeterna: “Did she really expect me to sleep on that? I guess she was expecting an animal though.”
412Please respect copyright.PENANA7gXA2pjKRd
She looks down at her body and remembers that she’s still wearing lingerie.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAWAzlDFrY05
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.”
412Please respect copyright.PENANAQdcPxQuNNq
With that thought, Aeterna leaves the room.
412Please respect copyright.PENANABqyWVISRI8
…
…
412Please respect copyright.PENANA9Kiw92YODC
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.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAUJOo7jkoTm
‘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.’
412Please respect copyright.PENANAgQb9HYhzg7
‘Hehe, I’m getting excited. Sweet dreams Louise.’
412Please respect copyright.PENANAXYzyM6Xy2p
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.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAW8Uey5G2mY
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.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAT5jqyBeU92
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.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAoZU73pb4Xi
Among the clouds and across the forest, more rips threaten to form.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAcrtIr8R6QA
‘Let the games begin.’

What do you think? Did you guess who was going to show up? Anyone OOC?
412Please respect copyright.PENANARXlVTy7o8V
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.
412Please respect copyright.PENANABVpsxNOEZO
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.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAs7OhxSxQbd
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.
