Welcome, to my first fan fic. After years, I finally gave in and tried a few.
433Please respect copyright.PENANAQFZoxn4daG
Mostly crossovers.
433Please respect copyright.PENANAbr2ep03v7l
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.
433Please respect copyright.PENANA7aGZinjJ1M
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.
433Please respect copyright.PENANAfBs7lkjA1u
They will be listed at the end of this one-shot.
433Please respect copyright.PENANAVdX00juQ6w
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.
433Please respect copyright.PENANAfuND64M4Dz
This is version 1 after all. If I can perfect the foundation and people like it, then I can continue.
433Please respect copyright.PENANAwuYOiIvhER
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.
433Please respect copyright.PENANAPzSRxFQ0BJ
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.
433Please respect copyright.PENANABIZW4iwGtp
With that out of the way, let’s dive into this slice of eternity in a moment.
433Please respect copyright.PENANAMTGp7qj4oP
433Please respect copyright.PENANAs1Qr6te9dy
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.
433Please respect copyright.PENANAooNFOKng3Z
Aside from that though, they were also anxious. Anxious about what kind of familiar they would get.
433Please respect copyright.PENANArF4TkxFgtw
A summoned familiar mirrors their master’s personality and elemental affinity. Who knows what hidden secrets their familiars may accidentally reveal to everyone?
433Please respect copyright.PENANA9XfQx2pL9t
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.
433Please respect copyright.PENANArgrB0mcq3e
Yes, all of them have tried and succeeded in summoning a familiar.
433Please respect copyright.PENANA98wHkAtgbq
Well, all but one.
433Please respect copyright.PENANAiRliSxWrLz
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.
433Please respect copyright.PENANAyfoKRhmOJ4
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.
433Please respect copyright.PENANAZYZfQWDIWe
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.
433Please respect copyright.PENANAZ8Oeow4AoJ
Colbert: “All right then, has everyone had their turn?”
433Please respect copyright.PENANA1Vb7bEujP2
But the one to fully shatter her hopes was her bully and rival, Kirche von Zerbst. The busty chocolate beauty.
433Please respect copyright.PENANAfWB3vVigkc
Kirche: “No, not quite. Ms. Valliere hasn’t done it.”
433Please respect copyright.PENANAnbnCqrrKTu
Louise: ‘Brimir, darn you Kirche.’
433Please respect copyright.PENANARMAig1n19p
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.
433Please respect copyright.PENANADtfHCMnwNS
Maybe then, she’ll be respected and can finally deliver some good news to her family.
433Please respect copyright.PENANAEofi1BNG5D
She goes to the summoning area and prepares to-
433Please respect copyright.PENANAmmX1ppHt8K
“Louise the zero.”
433Please respect copyright.PENANAJqy168PhGE
“What do you suppose she’ll summon”
433Please respect copyright.PENANAVmCv7BCkkO
“There’s no way she can summon anything. We’ll just have another explosion and nothing else.”
433Please respect copyright.PENANAirbjlWDgIf
Kirche: “With all your boasting, you should be able to summon up something more amazing than this. Right, Louise?”
433Please respect copyright.PENANAYRvc64cNqG
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.
433Please respect copyright.PENANAHr8x3JQ2d9
Louise: “Well of course!”
433Please respect copyright.PENANAApP8etTI1O
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.
433Please respect copyright.PENANAqarOc2UHSP
She didn’t know it then but, someone was listening to her prayers.
433Please respect copyright.PENANA0qd1ZZBd2z
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!”
433Please respect copyright.PENANAxqIfLQANlS
“And so the die is cast.”
433Please respect copyright.PENANAoWlIgDt7c1
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.
433Please respect copyright.PENANA2s6NppcsPi
…
…
433Please respect copyright.PENANAIsuMfH3PF4
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.
433Please respect copyright.PENANAybTgJCpohQ
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.
433Please respect copyright.PENANAxsHbY97Uyg
The students quickly collected themselves and began their favorite pass time.
433Please respect copyright.PENANAbEJGfJr1pW
“Hah, I knew it! Once a Zero always a Zero.”
433Please respect copyright.PENANA0txGsouElu
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.
433Please respect copyright.PENANAozwcHDMsKW
The one most scared was Slyphid, the medium-sized blue dragon summoned by the petite blue-haired Tabitha.
433Please respect copyright.PENANAyPdK3C9gJj
Tabitha: “What?”
433Please respect copyright.PENANAT6TwdGrntk
Her question brought Slyphid’s head around to look her in the eyes. With their intimate bond, Slyphid was able to respond telepathically.
433Please respect copyright.PENANALt3FvHVVO9
Slyphid: ‘I smell her! I’m Frightened! But…there’s…more than just her…a…Predator.’
433Please respect copyright.PENANAEEZ7HlRuW3
The panicked voice in her head startled Tabitha. For a rhyme dragon of all things to be frightened…
433Please respect copyright.PENANAEOju7AHJz0
Tabitha: “What do you…mean?”
433Please respect copyright.PENANAe6CFwFrWBF
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.
433Please respect copyright.PENANARe6Z8T4hsz
Louise: ‘Wait!? Shadows?’
433Please respect copyright.PENANAMB2yF5qNMT
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.
433Please respect copyright.PENANASFvSLRf5uz
When the smoke cleared, something completely unexpected awaited everyone. Not only did Louise summon a human but she summoned multiple familiars.
433Please respect copyright.PENANAzrRNOplZtQ
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.
433Please respect copyright.PENANAT9sDz6vO2d
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.
433Please respect copyright.PENANALSDfcAAkim
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.
433Please respect copyright.PENANAXQk2pPunxv
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.
433Please respect copyright.PENANA9cnDjFgUgS
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.
433Please respect copyright.PENANAYmU98KqcS5
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.
433Please respect copyright.PENANAe5SjceGBYK
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.
433Please respect copyright.PENANAl29rvNosc5
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.
433Please respect copyright.PENANAP4HlAWTk9w
As for Louise, she just couldn’t look away. Especially after what happened next.
433Please respect copyright.PENANAzd4J8S7xqW
“Kolo Zu’u, druv los tinvaak dovahzul?”
433Please respect copyright.PENANAf9IDuatCEz
…
…433Please respect copyright.PENANARTBLwgDLJn
433Please respect copyright.PENANAhNKhYPlJ4b
Kirche: “Did that dragon just…speak?”
433Please respect copyright.PENANAkl5gZPmeaw
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.
433Please respect copyright.PENANAFnAqaxYEo3
After a few moments of conversation and looking around, they stopped and looked at Louise.
433Please respect copyright.PENANAa2VVNnRgEf
“Okay, who summoned us?”
433Please respect copyright.PENANAjlE82UzNot
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.
433Please respect copyright.PENANAgiiWPUXuRj
Louise: “I-I did. My name is Louise Francoise Le Blanc de La Valliere.”433Please respect copyright.PENANAJgfVSDvNWx
433Please respect copyright.PENANAjKmrZomVHA
“Well hi Louise, my name is Raskreia or Rask for short. This dragon is named Dovahkiin, strange name I know.”
433Please respect copyright.PENANARAFwMcjldO
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.
433Please respect copyright.PENANAkD5mwgq4jY
433Please respect copyright.PENANAg7N04eHQBY
Raskreia: “Now, I have questions but first I think we should help the kid.”
433Please respect copyright.PENANAuo48kbqsdH
433Please respect copyright.PENANAh90TrBA7xj
Colbert finally escaped his shock and agreed. He asks some students to carry the boy to the infirmary.
433Please respect copyright.PENANApd59KFO7Pr
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.
433Please respect copyright.PENANADW0vBJV5CQ
Colbert: ‘Who knows what could’ve happened if we delayed any further.’
433Please respect copyright.PENANAnmqrlW7IDX
“Ugh, what, is with the racket.”
433Please respect copyright.PENANA6kKJEJyXUu
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.
433Please respect copyright.PENANAQGM6pNFhfH
“I slept in an inn in my underwear, and I wake up in a summoning circle in them. Ugh, what even?”
433Please respect copyright.PENANAnm1hb20qEV
Raskreia: “Well, looks who’s awake.”
433Please respect copyright.PENANA6Vvm8SKHGy
She sighs.433Please respect copyright.PENANADhJvNduSEK
433Please respect copyright.PENANApDuE29MOHJ
“And I am surrounded by children and a strange dragon.”
433Please respect copyright.PENANAAPClPPCa1Q
Colbert: “Since everyone is awake, not including the injured, we should proceed with the bonding ritual.”433Please respect copyright.PENANAKVz68hT0zP
433Please respect copyright.PENANAbUyZMuLs2C
Raskreia: “Sure, if you’re going to explain to us what in the nine hells is going on here exactly and where we are?”433Please respect copyright.PENANAIWfeydTvMm
433Please respect copyright.PENANAqKm1dR8E1y
At this, Louise answers before the man could.433Please respect copyright.PENANArL2XROOqf7
433Please respect copyright.PENANAdSsaBxZrM9
Louise: “You’re here because I summoned you all to be my familiar with the summon servant spell, and I am your master now.”
433Please respect copyright.PENANAVL9pox7euy
Rask rolls her eyes while the other 2 had more animated responses.433Please respect copyright.PENANAB5pI2FTAox
433Please respect copyright.PENANAUKbGTU1W2i
“Whoa, back the fuck up. Why should I be your familiar?”433Please respect copyright.PENANAwHy0autSd1
433Please respect copyright.PENANA8VoQdmEU79
Dovahkiin: “What do you mean by bonding?”433Please respect copyright.PENANA6SD4p4DmLg
433Please respect copyright.PENANAZ3Umlxk6yX
Everyone except Rask blinked. That was in Tristainian.433Please respect copyright.PENANAfgl1cpAovl
433Please respect copyright.PENANAsTtc6lCdS2
Dovahkiin: “Oh, so now my voice returns.”
433Please respect copyright.PENANA87HEe5szXx
Colbert: “You can speak our language?”
433Please respect copyright.PENANA34wFa6IoLn
Dovahkiin: “I can speak this language, but before I was…confused and spoke in native Dovahzul.”
433Please respect copyright.PENANAWoc1Q1zOEZ
Raskreia: “Really? I guess I don’t need this anymore then.”
433Please respect copyright.PENANATLcTF0VsRA
Rask puts the ring back in her bag.
433Please respect copyright.PENANAMR3y3FEALi
Colbert: “Dovahzul, I haven’t heard of that language.”
433Please respect copyright.PENANA0lpb5Puu8p
“Neither have I, strange.”
433Please respect copyright.PENANAxZ8Ywq5dIU
Dovahkiin: “Enough of this, what do you mean by bonding?”
433Please respect copyright.PENANAV8YCYlEjSf
Despite the group before her, Louise bravely stepped forward again.
433Please respect copyright.PENANAotMwfOon9z
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.”
433Please respect copyright.PENANAt35Qzhsbvr
The reactions from all summoned present varied but none good.433Please respect copyright.PENANAWaCezzTTgh
433Please respect copyright.PENANAUaQ4VZQtoX
Raskreia: “I’m fine with getting summoned but getting branded like some animal, no thanks.”433Please respect copyright.PENANAOQRZsnRFHf
433Please respect copyright.PENANAVMqLIK09oB
Louise’s mood quickly deteriorates but there’s still hope she thought. She summoned more than one, surely one would agree.
433Please respect copyright.PENANAiWkSiweBQY
But that thought quickly faded away when the dragon growled. It drew itself up by stretching its wings down and glared at Louise.
433Please respect copyright.PENANAE1eiKq2xu5
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?”
433Please respect copyright.PENANAIz910lORmd
Raskreia: ‘Oh no, they made the dragon mad. That’s never a good idea. No matter the plane.’
433Please respect copyright.PENANAOyOOIpX8SC
Colbert stepped in as Louise faltered and took several steps back.
433Please respect copyright.PENANA5krt3wkei3
Colbert: “It’s how the holy ritual has been performed for hundreds of years.”
433Please respect copyright.PENANAclpeB6FLVO
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.”
433Please respect copyright.PENANAvgk0CQOFRN
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.
433Please respect copyright.PENANABTvZ0P1YYp
Dovahkiin: “I for one refuse to become anyone’s slave. I simply want to return to the life I lived before this all occurred.”
433Please respect copyright.PENANAd9CIx6x9hO
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.”
433Please respect copyright.PENANATtH3t0wPkv
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.’433Please respect copyright.PENANACNwL1lwJq2
433Please respect copyright.PENANAnvPfv7hswh
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.
433Please respect copyright.PENANAjGaZ3vAZs3
She grips her wand tightly, wishing this was all a dream. Unbeknownst to her, there was one that considered her offer.
433Please respect copyright.PENANAzXoPga7cY8
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.
433Please respect copyright.PENANAgi1JIDw8vx
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.
433Please respect copyright.PENANAKYWXyid3Hz
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.433Please respect copyright.PENANADA4jwsmKFT
433Please respect copyright.PENANA3UkWxkxvUw
She knew intimately what happens in situations like that. Despite her previous obligations, the redhead made her choice.433Please respect copyright.PENANAuQikqSIHOa
433Please respect copyright.PENANAS6wsyc3Ect
“If a familiar is what you seek, then you shall have one. I agree to be yours.”
433Please respect copyright.PENANAY5ytr5RrCI
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.
433Please respect copyright.PENANAsPonLFznEb
Dovahkiin: “You!? You would subject yourself as a slave to a child? Where is your pride as a Dovah?”
433Please respect copyright.PENANAHgB1PI2DCm
“Dovah? I see, that's your word for it. So you can tell?”
433Please respect copyright.PENANA4O8uLgGx9I
Dovahkiin: *Nod*
433Please respect copyright.PENANA1Q5ky83zXN
“I have my own reasons.”
433Please respect copyright.PENANAaTVnbuwPGj
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.
433Please respect copyright.PENANA6YpsyQ3by1
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?
433Please respect copyright.PENANAK1s73QkpBN
Raskreia: “Well I won’t judge you. It’s your choice.”
433Please respect copyright.PENANAUc7kpYM0uh
Louise reapplies her rule of steel mask and starts towards the redhead. She let out an indignant, resigned huff as she raised her wand.
433Please respect copyright.PENANAGbnmKwP6Sx
Louise: “Consider yourself fortunate, commoner. Normally, you’d never in your life have a noble do this to you.”
433Please respect copyright.PENANAlCrUheUotS
Louise: “My name is Louise Francoise Le Blanc de La Valliere. Oh, pentagon that rules the five elements, bless this individual and-”
433Please respect copyright.PENANAKzKydGI6H2
433Please respect copyright.PENANAoCX65VpT5U
‘Did you think this was it?’
433Please respect copyright.PENANAVohMqyxljZ
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.
433Please respect copyright.PENANARZ4QMqFplZ
“Louise!?”
433Please respect copyright.PENANAxB9o3zPMb1
Everyone, including the dragon, looks at Louise with concern. Before anyone could go to her and see what’s wrong, something else extraordinary happens.
433Please respect copyright.PENANAVjYfn0sSI8
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.
433Please respect copyright.PENANALDP1lY41hm
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.
433Please respect copyright.PENANAdVfvtgfHVt
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.
433Please respect copyright.PENANA2KFVbiEKzp
Raskeria: “The hell was that?”
433Please respect copyright.PENANAPZ12qTEWU8
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.
433Please respect copyright.PENANAK3lqEVHjmk
Colbert: “A golem?”
433Please respect copyright.PENANAEV3KyRpjOB
Dovahkiin: “No, something more.”
433Please respect copyright.PENANA5OXo6VMNkU
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.
433Please respect copyright.PENANAoCrPkKeLB7
Guiche: “Unhand me this instant!”
433Please respect copyright.PENANAORfqsH02AH
It didn’t respond instead it brought its other arm up and balled it into a fist.
433Please respect copyright.PENANAhNBrYGYVQt
Guiche: “You would dare hit a noble!? I tell you, my father is a gener-”
433Please respect copyright.PENANACn5bN3fSCF
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.
433Please respect copyright.PENANACzBcT6FwGH
Colbert: “Mister Grammont!”
433Please respect copyright.PENANA4nbTkKjLrz
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.
433Please respect copyright.PENANARUHbP2y5tW
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.
433Please respect copyright.PENANAxR05GPWDqj
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.
433Please respect copyright.PENANAO4tWM3bRmI
Guiche: “L-Louise?”433Please respect copyright.PENANAEbrEMQJLGo
433Please respect copyright.PENANAA6TCjzydjb
Colbert: “But how?”
433Please respect copyright.PENANAzCZyLUuc1S
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.
433Please respect copyright.PENANAmG4cK2npfZ
Raskeria: “Can this day get any crazier?”
433Please respect copyright.PENANAjgzhnNFFgM
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.
433Please respect copyright.PENANAEG4fXg3ghy
Guiche: “How dare-”
433Please respect copyright.PENANAkP5NxMuCha
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.
433Please respect copyright.PENANAAumo0Jxmai
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.
433Please respect copyright.PENANAsfb9FGHNNA
Regardless, Dova took the golem and threw it across the field away from the students.
433Please respect copyright.PENANAijB46U1laS
While this was happening, the redhead took Louise to a safe distance. She could help but she wanted to keep Louise safe for now.
433Please respect copyright.PENANAZJOIBQebMS
Raskeria: “That has to be among the strongest golems I’ve ever seen.”
433Please respect copyright.PENANAG3pMdx6XMs
Dovahkiin: “It’s like a Dwemer automation but more…advanced somehow.”
433Please respect copyright.PENANAkfDXfd3LOf
Louise?: “I don’t remember you two when I left. Who are you two?”

Raskeria: “Talk later, fight now!”
433Please respect copyright.PENANAJF8rXCC7yq
Dovahkiin: “YOL TOOR SHUL!”
433Please respect copyright.PENANACMHb0VeIRy
The dragon breathes intense heat at the golem while Raskeria casts a strange spell that also shoots bolts of fire.
433Please respect copyright.PENANA0r4WIMmecH
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.
433Please respect copyright.PENANAC4DzT4zunN
Raskeria: “Okay, that thing is too dangerous. Disintegrate.”
433Please respect copyright.PENANA9xkK7jkG52
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.
433Please respect copyright.PENANArB6I215AMA
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.
433Please respect copyright.PENANANsl34sDehT
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.
433Please respect copyright.PENANAVMIjHLGVKx
This proved to be the right choice when the sound of lightning cracked from the cloud of dust.
433Please respect copyright.PENANA1D77q9HL8t
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.
433Please respect copyright.PENANA1S1VfgbuJm
Raskeria: “Another one!? To think, I was just hanging out with friends and now I have to fight for my life.”
433Please respect copyright.PENANAbGK7pGaILZ
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.
433Please respect copyright.PENANAhc66EIckDi
Eventually, the sound of clicking reached her ears. She disassembled her shield and placed her hands behind her with her palms open.
433Please respect copyright.PENANATAgkCJFUVk
Louise 2: ‘Here’s my chanc-”
433Please respect copyright.PENANA5XM3oIlWNq
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.
433Please respect copyright.PENANAOLBmp4VMT3
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.
433Please respect copyright.PENANAe8XwtCi4hk
Raskeria: “Did Louise summon another one? I can’t deny it, that’s impressive.”
433Please respect copyright.PENANAWeC0kf3i2X
Louise 2: “Friend or foe?”
433Please respect copyright.PENANAjTg3EH0zrc
Jake: “Depends on what happens next. The name’s Jake Logan Anderson, Jake will do.”
433Please respect copyright.PENANAlboruq4IY9
Dovahkiin: “FUS RO DAH”
433Please respect copyright.PENANAuODsg3YIXP
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.
433Please respect copyright.PENANAYbqOuid2Oz
Dovahkiin: ‘I need to get used to this body and fast. I hope that was the last of them.’
433Please respect copyright.PENANAY1KGTmirEe
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.
433Please respect copyright.PENANAuTUL5tmkDd
Louise 2: “Mr. Colbert!”
433Please respect copyright.PENANAeQwHcPCsoB
This seemed to jog the man from his shock.
433Please respect copyright.PENANA30KYVx52Vo
Colbert: “Um yes, what do you need Ms….you are Valliere right?”
433Please respect copyright.PENANAP06rn8Gxc5
Louise 2: “Yes. Evacuate everyone from this place right now.”
433Please respect copyright.PENANALzYolG0We4
Raskeria: “Why? Isn’t it over?”
433Please respect copyright.PENANAvB4jXcij6M
Jake: “No, it’s never that easy.”
433Please respect copyright.PENANAm4jXBX0GUD
Louise 2: “He’s right, this courtyard isn’t safe anymore.”
433Please respect copyright.PENANAqXDOPMT0ox
The doppelganger looked at the strangers she fought with.
433Please respect copyright.PENANApbs2hdUMfV
Louise 2: “Can trust one of you to help Colbert protect everyone.”
433Please respect copyright.PENANAuAHxDddZK7
Before any of them could answer, the red-head answered.
433Please respect copyright.PENANA55TUkm8GPA
“I’ll protect him along with…you I guess.”
433Please respect copyright.PENANAExChlzWPrX
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.
433Please respect copyright.PENANAXskUJPBNQI
Louise 2: “And who are you?”
433Please respect copyright.PENANAKhcg4KvS26
“My name is Aeterna Flamma, your familiar.”
433Please respect copyright.PENANAdoriIycEBW
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.
433Please respect copyright.PENANAAYMF9NIRRn
Dovahkiin: “Trust her, she is stronger than she looks.”
433Please respect copyright.PENANAuulritAwv6
Louise: 2: “…Fine. I won’t argue with a dragon. Especially not now.”
433Please respect copyright.PENANATXmqryLQ5v
Aeterna: “Good, come on everyone.”
433Please respect copyright.PENANAZP6t2vs8EF
Colbert: “Y-You heard them, we can’t stay here any-”
433Please respect copyright.PENANAZganvC0KEb
Suddenly, the sound of something rattling made itself known throughout the courtyard. Louise 2 clicked her tongue.
433Please respect copyright.PENANAPgPddtwfVa
Louise 2: “Go, NOW!”
433Please respect copyright.PENANAbNXgjhnvZO
They followed her order, many out of fear of the sight before them. The 3 golems slowly but surely collapsed into strange black sand.
433Please respect copyright.PENANA5gSbpHyKWa
Jake: “What the fuck?! Are these truly machines?”
433Please respect copyright.PENANA5206PzgtGA
Raskeria: “I’m starting to question that too.”
433Please respect copyright.PENANAWQwY2Ph2ql
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.
433Please respect copyright.PENANAOA7RTij4Zi
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.
433Please respect copyright.PENANANfrDfizEBZ
The arms were next. The left was a massive blade and the right was a massive claw hand.
433Please respect copyright.PENANAqGuunTWU7j
Finally, the head was bulky enough to discourage any beheading. But the most important part was the lines connecting to the chest area.
433Please respect copyright.PENANAcpo29ZwJt7
Louise 2: ‘That’s its weak point.’
433Please respect copyright.PENANAvlaOrDMhQt
Its eyes finally light up and lock onto the fighters.
433Please respect copyright.PENANAs0ln2JDRzg
Louise 2: “Just my luck, a Ravager.”
433Please respect copyright.PENANASBRannfS5e
Raskeria: “A what?”
433Please respect copyright.PENANAtLThnPbaWw
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.
433Please respect copyright.PENANAxuxu7SEYci
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.
433Please respect copyright.PENANAauArZ21fHp
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.
433Please respect copyright.PENANADTdhLvt8ia
Louise 2: “Go!”
433Please respect copyright.PENANAPCOdan9M8R
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.
433Please respect copyright.PENANADc9vrUZAmZ
Raskeria aided the group with various spells, mostly fire and stuff like ‘Create Pit’.
433Please respect copyright.PENANAJYeO5iamQd
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.
433Please respect copyright.PENANACWKNaL6of2
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.
433Please respect copyright.PENANAOiU2YYWPjf
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.
433Please respect copyright.PENANAqePCpRO5qK
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.
433Please respect copyright.PENANAy71Gma9XvZ
Raskeria: “Yeah, stay right there. Disintegrate.”
433Please respect copyright.PENANAgr8vBSVfoE
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.
433Please respect copyright.PENANA1iNTtWqaW6
Louise 2: “That won’t be enough! We need to destroy its core.”
433Please respect copyright.PENANAT0abMtqWgD
Jake: “Where is it then!?”
433Please respect copyright.PENANAq6FRuyOAOC
Louise 2: “It was in its chest but who knows where it will be when it reforms.”
433Please respect copyright.PENANAZbQTJWXbBH
They look back at Rask and she couldn’t help but rub the back of her head.
433Please respect copyright.PENANARTuNqfmsyL
Raskeria: “My bad.”
433Please respect copyright.PENANAPVEeErSxUC
Jake: “Tch, it’s like fighting a machine version of me.”
433Please respect copyright.PENANAmRlR0Ndb3H
Dovahkiin: “FO KRAH DIIN”
433Please respect copyright.PENANAlu18cAN68l
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.
433Please respect copyright.PENANACTu99HFdMk
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.
433Please respect copyright.PENANAlz7LHlrXDN
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.”
433Please respect copyright.PENANATAKUaI88FQ
Raskeria: “What do you mean?”
433Please respect copyright.PENANA1soNKOl679
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.”
433Please respect copyright.PENANACAns4SMLQ0
Jake: “…Fine.”
433Please respect copyright.PENANAck2Tr2Qols
The other 2 nodded and got into position.
433Please respect copyright.PENANAP9Lz8mWeix
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.
433Please respect copyright.PENANAX0q5wtgtpj
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.
433Please respect copyright.PENANA3RkgO8KrSr
Louise 2: “You got to be kidding me.”433Please respect copyright.PENANAyLm7DvY9oX
433Please respect copyright.PENANAXBtAyg66Bd
The Ravager started firing at everything below. Raskeria created another shield around everyone to block the heavy bullet fire.
433Please respect copyright.PENANA4M7RNKqlOb
Raskeria: “Dovahkiin, this is all you. I’ll focus on protecting everyone while you distract it enough to prevent it from firing.”
433Please respect copyright.PENANAUUxeEQJuFN
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.
433Please respect copyright.PENANArIk1LH9ZXU
Despite Dovah’s best efforts though, Ravager wasn’t that bothered by it’s attacks. That was until Dovah started using more unique shouts.
433Please respect copyright.PENANAQMokaF6WBn
Dovahkiin: “VEN GAAR NOS!”
433Please respect copyright.PENANA517TcgWjuu
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.
433Please respect copyright.PENANADYO7HsOiiE
Louise 2: “Great, bring it down quick! I can see where the core is! Focus your attacks on its head!”
433Please respect copyright.PENANAzgz7ZSzxgo
Raskeria: “I still need to keep the shield on Dovahkiin so I can’t attack.”
433Please respect copyright.PENANAYdwrKYIA9g
Louise 2: “That’s a good thing, just focus on support.”
433Please respect copyright.PENANA7xNXhQFRzd
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.
433Please respect copyright.PENANA0ggJKk7pUF
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.
433Please respect copyright.PENANAkElmhnAiYq
Raskeria: “Was that…magic?”
433Please respect copyright.PENANATEho8tWSX3
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.”
433Please respect copyright.PENANAHIjANoc7Yz
Dova shrugged it off but still lost some ground. Jake on the other hand was on fire and falling.
433Please respect copyright.PENANAXPxOHQ8axJ
Jake: ‘Of course, it had to use fire and lightning of all things.’
433Please respect copyright.PENANA3KABAto6oN
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.
433Please respect copyright.PENANA2jubOFbWqS
It abandoned the dragon and went to delete the living weapon. But before it could, another welcomed surprise appeared. The final and winning variable.
433Please respect copyright.PENANAlrWQn9Yz84
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.
433Please respect copyright.PENANAatGcbehenG
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.
433Please respect copyright.PENANANWWVu3IucC
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.
433Please respect copyright.PENANAqul5MRNHJm
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.
433Please respect copyright.PENANAXxlzJOKQk9
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.
433Please respect copyright.PENANA2Dnx04hwzk
Louise 2: “I don’t know who you are but if you can understand me, keep it down while I end this.”
433Please respect copyright.PENANA7hOSUZ8Cmr
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.
433Please respect copyright.PENANAwiqNsMkQog
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.
433Please respect copyright.PENANAylkeABtJCY
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.’
433Please respect copyright.PENANARpE17yoRvM
The distance between them became smaller.
433Please respect copyright.PENANAxLSyQUMHou
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.
433Please respect copyright.PENANA1wplDuk2mZ
20 meters
433Please respect copyright.PENANAkW0ek1YwfF
Arcs of pink electricity started to form around her.
433Please respect copyright.PENANAkdv00UV8su
15 meters
433Please respect copyright.PENANAPgoWGfRKUU
She opened her eyes; her vision was surrounded by plenty of warnings but she dismissed them.
433Please respect copyright.PENANA4xB8dUlLJw
10 meters
433Please respect copyright.PENANATnCM8tqwRq
Louise 2: “Adapt to this!”
433Please respect copyright.PENANA6T87vTLHNB
5 meters
433Please respect copyright.PENANAAAUuGaGCw9
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.
433Please respect copyright.PENANAk9u3DbNvNg
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.
433Please respect copyright.PENANAHpohT7r9ZV
The sonic boom made it into everyone’s ears. Students screamed and even the fighters had to cover their ears as the ground quaked.
433Please respect copyright.PENANAnDmMOGF8yN
The fighters aside from Jake ran up to the aftermath of the attack. Colbert also came running despite Aeterna’s warning.
433Please respect copyright.PENANAvXwkLFGMZr
Good news, the Ravager now sported a missing head. Bad news, behind the Ravager was a badly damaged Louise 2.
433Please respect copyright.PENANA8mlsQbKwYd
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.
433Please respect copyright.PENANAXBgbAuimjn
Raskeria: “Okay, that looks terrible. But I can fix this.”
433Please respect copyright.PENANAGP0I9YV6gJ
She started to create ice to cool her down before applying healing magic. But before she could a voice stopped her.
433Please respect copyright.PENANAHCnPxn6NZh
“STOP, YOU’RE GOING TO KILL HER!”
433Please respect copyright.PENANASVJcNV8w5J
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.
433Please respect copyright.PENANAfKnPhYkBKw
Colbert: “Stop, any closer and we’ll consider you an enemy!”
433Please respect copyright.PENANA45zD4Wmfey
Raskeria: “I vote enemy, where was he when everything was going wrong?”
433Please respect copyright.PENANAJeKuMmI91d
Louise 2: “B-Bench? I-Is that…y-you?”
433Please respect copyright.PENANAB5SrRWeqVR
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.
433Please respect copyright.PENANAHsdJzOK9at
Colbert: “Miss Valliere!”
433Please respect copyright.PENANAufbErTC1fg
Louise 2: “Please…let Bench…come to me…professor.”
433Please respect copyright.PENANAuPu7RfDAx9
Raskeria: “But what about my magic? I can heal you good as new.”
433Please respect copyright.PENANAdmw35YnBoa
Louise 2: “Don’t…I…d-don’t know…what effect it…will h-have.”
433Please respect copyright.PENANA502X1hLynl
Bench: “Listen to her, I know what to do. Trust me, she’s in good hands.”
433Please respect copyright.PENANARYevtR7Inv
Raskeria: “…Fine. This whole thing is beyond me anyway.”
433Please respect copyright.PENANAjYosT5Qha5
Heeding his words, Raskeria and Colbert moved out of the way. Bench approached Louise 2 and a blue line scanned her entire being.
433Please respect copyright.PENANAGOM4iEt3iv
Bench: “You’ve really done it this time Louise.”
433Please respect copyright.PENANAyUpgypezmR
Louise 2: “Why does…it…matter…I destroyed…the Ravager.”
433Please respect copyright.PENANAjjVu8BaURd
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.”
433Please respect copyright.PENANAYkyLE8Pwrz
Raskeria: ‘You mean what I was going to do?’
433Please respect copyright.PENANAp2w8jo2n3d
Louise 2: “Then would…this help?”
433Please respect copyright.PENANAkw3bqf1rKw
She asks while letting go of a red orb that was giving a low hum.
433Please respect copyright.PENANAKMgiL8dFcR
Bench: “Is that what I think it is?”
433Please respect copyright.PENANAgKe6kLnIxV
Louise 2: “Y-You bet…it is.”
433Please respect copyright.PENANAqPc358JdWt
A blue line passed over the orb from Bench.
433Please respect copyright.PENANARKgBef52rt
Bench: “I can’t believe it, a Ravager core.”
433Please respect copyright.PENANAlvRpgek5y3
Raskeria: “You mean that’s what we were fighting to destroy? Why is it intact?”
433Please respect copyright.PENANAiDbJ5qXcA5
Bench: “Because this might be the only sure way to save Louise.”
433Please respect copyright.PENANAyBgHx6nR7P
Raskeria: “Magic is out but the core of that monster is okay?”
433Please respect copyright.PENANAIPFLlZEUNV
Dovahkiin: “I agree, destroy it.”
433Please respect copyright.PENANAqGym7hDqy8
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?”
433Please respect copyright.PENANA6PqDCkUaer
Raskeria: “No but I’m keeping my eye on you…and that.”
433Please respect copyright.PENANAoKHGdB2ehf
Bench: “By all means.”
433Please respect copyright.PENANA0fTPxFgPwt
Louise 2: “So…can you…d-do it Bench?”
433Please respect copyright.PENANAflA7YFkauo
Bench: “Do you know who you’re talking to?
433Please respect copyright.PENANAEhgRtxpS7b
Louise 2: “That’s…good.”
433Please respect copyright.PENANAFycsJX2xol
Louise 2 finally succumbs to her wounds and passes out. Bench looks to Colbert and gives a stern order.
433Please respect copyright.PENANAXXyWmxtp6N
Bench: “Take me to where your clinic is, I have a Hunter to repair!”
433Please respect copyright.PENANAZnKVTxw5lt
Jake: “Wait a minute!”
433Please respect copyright.PENANA3Zx6incEnf
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.
433Please respect copyright.PENANAfIDy0NylM5
Bench: “What are you doing?!”
433Please respect copyright.PENANA5m49NT3l6H
Jake: “Just because I helped defeat that thing doesn’t mean we’re allies. I need answers!”
433Please respect copyright.PENANAvwGPmUfThj
Raskeria: “Calm down Jake, do you really want to fight everyone here?”
433Please respect copyright.PENANAyU64Fu3KjI
Jake: “…I’ll do what I have to.”
433Please respect copyright.PENANAO4XTQoPZKF
Colbert: “W-What do you want to know?”
433Please respect copyright.PENANANkjcpn5WGP
Bench: “We don’t have time for this! Louise will die if Colbert doesn’t show me to the clinic.”
433Please respect copyright.PENANA8gAxyZtjGl
Jake: “I don’t care.”
433Please respect copyright.PENANAqrV1sdMXAL
Bench: “You-”
433Please respect copyright.PENANAZ4spKBhOGn
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.
433Please respect copyright.PENANAKV8UMPpFs6
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.
433Please respect copyright.PENANAe64WPsNxiR
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.
433Please respect copyright.PENANA6CRdoQkep8
“Can you understand me?”
433Please respect copyright.PENANAcPb4YTzKB9
Raskeria: ‘A translation spell? Oh, he’s good.’
433Please respect copyright.PENANApN6moh0T0G
Colbert: “Y-Yes.”
433Please respect copyright.PENANAeEAR5nGEh9
“Wonderful, my name is Zander and I’ll take them to the clinic.”
433Please respect copyright.PENANAG91EGfKwVt
Colbert: “But how? You don’t know the way.”
433Please respect copyright.PENANA5ZO7MSNTae
Zander: “I’ll ask one of the students or the staff. I’m sure they’ll help.”
433Please respect copyright.PENANAoAmkA7IXxA
With a slight twist of his wrist, Louise begins to float off the ground.
433Please respect copyright.PENANAr4nFtetXf6
Zander: “Shall we go Bench?”
433Please respect copyright.PENANAbIlicorJZ2
Bench: “Yes, quickly now.”
433Please respect copyright.PENANACN7e4cDBu3
They begin to leave but before that Zander gives a sharp glare to Jake.

Zander: “I hope I don’t have to come back here and deal with you Jake. I rather we be friends than enemies.”
433Please respect copyright.PENANAHjImnjEHKh
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.
433Please respect copyright.PENANAh5JDw8Qnrb
No one said a word until Zander was gone.
433Please respect copyright.PENANAUPNKFEjVEs
Colbert: “Okay, so what do you want to know Jake.”
433Please respect copyright.PENANA0Fn0Pgt1vx
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…”
433Please respect copyright.PENANAfY5pMeesYy
Jake brings his blade a bit closer to Colbert which makes everyone tense up, ready for another fight.
433Please respect copyright.PENANABZcyxgkef8
Jake: “You will take me back to New York.”
433Please respect copyright.PENANAW47TVs9A4R
Colbert: “I’m sorry but…there’s no way back. None that we know of.”
433Please respect copyright.PENANAL1dnNklaYn
The moment those words left his mouth, he felt the urge to slice off his head.
433Please respect copyright.PENANAm9RGmQENn1
No way to get back to New York meant Blackwatch ran free and the only family he has left was in danger.
433Please respect copyright.PENANAfkDEweFW2V
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.
433Please respect copyright.PENANASTCk1DjLVr
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.
433Please respect copyright.PENANAGBaKk1BvVm
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!”
433Please respect copyright.PENANA91Cx9UavlH
Colbert: “Sir, I’m truly sorry but there is no way to reverse this.”
433Please respect copyright.PENANArSnt7hHkOI
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.
433Please respect copyright.PENANAZ1HiSMF0SS
Raskeria: “There might be a way.”
433Please respect copyright.PENANAoQwVqJRxG2
Everyone turned toward the girl. Jake’s eyes widened with relief but also slow-cooking anger.
433Please respect copyright.PENANAr8jyt960yU
Jake: “Tell me.”
433Please respect copyright.PENANArnJPvhcN3F
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.”
433Please respect copyright.PENANA0shCNEd4mB
Jake: “Then-”
433Please respect copyright.PENANA6ovbjMNttJ
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…”
433Please respect copyright.PENANASiXP5kBTZv
Jake: “Or?”
433Please respect copyright.PENANADnLy1ps1OB
Raskeria: “Learn magic and go yourself.”
433Please respect copyright.PENANAEv1PyvNUrW
Colbert: “Learn magic?”
433Please respect copyright.PENANAmlAG8PPiqI
Raskeria: “Yeah, it will be hard but it can be done.”
433Please respect copyright.PENANAfZ2OH3GpvJ
Jake: “…”
433Please respect copyright.PENANALXAMc6Z6Vn
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.
433Please respect copyright.PENANAHFh7pcRzyQ
But still, time is of the essence. He can’t be gone for long.
433Please respect copyright.PENANA3vlvI2Tb2R
Jake: “How long would it take for me to learn.”
433Please respect copyright.PENANA3Xlve9HtDy
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.”
433Please respect copyright.PENANAVZNaaK5jO6
Jake: ‘Years!? No, I don’t have that kind of time. I’ll leave that as a backup.’
433Please respect copyright.PENANA80WBtRRr2x
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.”
433Please respect copyright.PENANAg5DLGuBNih
Raskeria: “Sure, sure. Right now though, I’m tired. I’m going home and telling everyone what happened. See you. ‘gate’.”
433Please respect copyright.PENANAdhvZSPfw9I
A rip in reality appears behind Raskeria. She yawns and goes through which causes it to close.
433Please respect copyright.PENANAPh1jFlAKbe
Jake: ‘Tch, she better make good on our deal. Or I have another person on my list to kill here.’
433Please respect copyright.PENANAtpftQyVB5i
Jake: *Sigh*
433Please respect copyright.PENANAIwAoNAd3rx
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.”
433Please respect copyright.PENANAeaEqx1N6Kp
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.
433Please respect copyright.PENANAQ1LJqhdK3s
Colbert: “Well, you’re the last one. What will you do?”
433Please respect copyright.PENANAFf61eoVyUh
Dovahkiin: “Stay for now. Jake’s situation seemed more serious than mine so he can get the gate treatment first. Besides…”
433Please respect copyright.PENANAJSSVjyhfZJ
Dovahkiin: ‘It’s not all Louise’s fault that I ended up here. Damn that dedric prince.’
433Please respect copyright.PENANAOLHWFgXgw3
Colbert: “Yes?”
433Please respect copyright.PENANAPHmkdtj0Yx
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.”
433Please respect copyright.PENANAkHQs0srCmr
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.
433Please respect copyright.PENANAENWlVAaD4a
Colbert: “Brimir save us, what has Louise unleashed…”
433Please respect copyright.PENANAoRutDVqRE7
[Louise’s Room]
433Please respect copyright.PENANAP2HXe1siRc
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.
433Please respect copyright.PENANAZ7A4QMzHyd
She gently takes her to the bed and lies her down.
433Please respect copyright.PENANAoIImRYhJrW
Aeterna: “Already, that power is drawing dangerous things to you.”
433Please respect copyright.PENANA0YZH47NkeM
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.
433Please respect copyright.PENANAIVMFFGej8w
Aeterna: “Did she really expect me to sleep on that? I guess she was expecting an animal though.”
433Please respect copyright.PENANADVK8Dik6gG
She looks down at her body and remembers that she’s still wearing lingerie.
433Please respect copyright.PENANAwa3Rnzc1Wf
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.”
433Please respect copyright.PENANA4EN1gLxJV7
With that thought, Aeterna leaves the room.
433Please respect copyright.PENANA3HMdjRye3r
…
…
433Please respect copyright.PENANAiKkkwEbTnX
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.
433Please respect copyright.PENANACPDVC8UpC7
‘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.’
433Please respect copyright.PENANAyh6rWtllah
‘Hehe, I’m getting excited. Sweet dreams Louise.’
433Please respect copyright.PENANADF0yc7QgD4
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.
433Please respect copyright.PENANAFjSlYwWcMF
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.
433Please respect copyright.PENANA1WZ0ZGyT7n
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.
433Please respect copyright.PENANAfRwkvvoAnj
Among the clouds and across the forest, more rips threaten to form.
433Please respect copyright.PENANATqzU4sVnT0

433Please respect copyright.PENANASyICVf8Akk
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.
433Please respect copyright.PENANABiBGRLRoWi
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.
433Please respect copyright.PENANARH2fGwdNZI
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.
