Tech: ‘The hell is happening…to me…’
48Please respect copyright.PENANAb8CUPxhAqE
48Please respect copyright.PENANAugR22Yi2mn
Ever since yesterday, Tech felt weak and closer to death than he’s ever felt. The nanobathes and other healing procedures are only slowing whatever is happening.
48Please respect copyright.PENANAanVtvQaA78
48Please respect copyright.PENANA9nqkMXcLB0
The lack of sleep is only making things worse. Doesn’t sound scientific but he felt that if he did fall asleep, he wouldn’t wake up.
48Please respect copyright.PENANAYq1wG6vmMy
48Please respect copyright.PENANAFQyAYhQl4y
So Tech is using all of his energy to try and isolate the cause of his condition. But his mind is getting weaker by the minute and the act of keying commands is putting further strain on his body.
48Please respect copyright.PENANATHbXBwcWYt
48Please respect copyright.PENANAoLCP0Hep4Z
Tech: ‘This…is…not…how I’ll…go out.’
48Please respect copyright.PENANAFstEtuSVuc
48Please respect copyright.PENANAm3EZgYn0w2
Before succumbing to whatever is happening, he hits a red button on his keyboard. The last thing he hears before blacking out is the emergency alarm and the activation of one of his latest creations.
48Please respect copyright.PENANA9LTYq65DC5
48Please respect copyright.PENANAwp2MXy70sc
Dove hasn’t had a good rest like this in a very long time. Tech might be a bit weird when it came to his tastes in design but he delivered on her room. The bed was like sleeping on a cloud.
48Please respect copyright.PENANA9WR8OAgAGg
48Please respect copyright.PENANAis41bbJDPZ
So when the alarm slammed into her ears, she was tempted to ignore it. But her battle instincts and the feeling of dread demanded her to get up.
48Please respect copyright.PENANAnWlezVpFDk
48Please respect copyright.PENANA5WKEi6FZzv
Dove: “What is happening? Why is everything red?”
48Please respect copyright.PENANA19LeRqPwh1
48Please respect copyright.PENANAGDUFWqLT8L
Her door suddenly opened and she was ready to blow the intruder away. That was until she recognized it as one of Tech’s flying golems. But it was what it said that made her tense.
48Please respect copyright.PENANATfPdD82Qmt

“EMERGENCY. CREATOR IN CRITICAL CONDITION. ASSISTANCE REQUIRED.”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAYJfF2seyiP
48Please respect copyright.PENANAuAvmgu88xT
Dove: “Take me to him!”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAQr8qmGS32K
48Please respect copyright.PENANAJhFbgYdEuQ
No more words were needed, the golem flew toward where Tech was. Dove easily kept up and subconsciously prepared the best healing spell she had.
48Please respect copyright.PENANAFsgnj2sUip
48Please respect copyright.PENANA2Uaq01MZ71
Dove: ‘Screw your beliefs on magic, I’m not letting you die Tech.’
48Please respect copyright.PENANAHXdTraTVNP
48Please respect copyright.PENANAbtOu0eZdVz
It didn’t take long to get to Tech’s room. The sight wasn’t good. Tech was faced down on the ground, pale, barely breathing and the steel plates on him was glowing red.
48Please respect copyright.PENANA1zb9IavFZ6
48Please respect copyright.PENANAvQlJbwk8rx
Not wasting time, Dove turned him over and used Healing Hands on his body. Every 10 seconds she would switch to Heal Other to deliver a more powerful burst of healing before returning to Healing Hands.
48Please respect copyright.PENANAMf88p1NszH
48Please respect copyright.PENANAt95EiDYWWp
A warm golden light enveloped his body but…it wasn’t working well. It was like whatever was affecting him was fighting against her magic. Only magic could fight against magic like this.
48Please respect copyright.PENANAUk8OdAOrld
48Please respect copyright.PENANAvtEsQvW4yw
Dove: ‘But who? No, that’s not important right now.’
48Please respect copyright.PENANAY5GL2PSMUQ
48Please respect copyright.PENANAAmJa2MUXfS
Dove turns to the floating golem before giving her orders.
48Please respect copyright.PENANAKZh8p4BHbi
48Please respect copyright.PENANAEw8fE4oEYJ
Dove: “Golem I-

48Please respect copyright.PENANAHGUDGWcclR
Doctor: “THIS UNIT IS CALLED DOCTOR.”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAwFdL93caDD
48Please respect copyright.PENANAzmA0moDRSt
Dove: “Doctor, I need to stay with Tech and continue healing him. But I don’t have infinite magicka and the spell affecting him is powerful. I need you to get Flamma or Zander here now!”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAiJg0tfOlds
48Please respect copyright.PENANAcO6ocHhls6
Doctor: “ACKNOWLEDGED.”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAPEfcMAgiwb
48Please respect copyright.PENANAEQyk1vVf0x
With that, the flying golem left to get the needed assistance.
48Please respect copyright.PENANAdjBfoEFkTJ
48Please respect copyright.PENANAcLkeE9WKo4
Dove: “Hold on Tech, help is coming.”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAmqDI6kqBXj
48Please respect copyright.PENANAR4C30Qr96Y
Flamma: ‘You know, maybe I should have took the bed…’
48Please respect copyright.PENANAfiDcL1OZiG
48Please respect copyright.PENANAJjEleSfYKF
She may be a dragon goddesses but sleeping on hay is never pleasant. She hasn’t even had a chance to spread her wings so the soreness was especially bad.
48Please respect copyright.PENANA7Ml401mGpy
48Please respect copyright.PENANAwqd8IeiWFm
But that discomfort left when she noticed something. Louise was up and looking at the rising sun with an unreadable expression.
48Please respect copyright.PENANAjcRzyQlKFA
48Please respect copyright.PENANARn5JfFnVxG
Flamma: “Louise, are you alright?”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAS6xw2dfp6l
48Please respect copyright.PENANAjSQsKjwn3j
A slight nervous jump, one she tried to cover but Flamma caught it.
48Please respect copyright.PENANASNpNe20mcv
48Please respect copyright.PENANAzkPJuNae0C
Louise: “Of course, it was just what we spoke about yesterday. It’s still a lot to take in.”
48Please respect copyright.PENANArknxG4hrUe
48Please respect copyright.PENANAQLC1xcqILn
Flamma: ‘I only told her about how I was worshiped by some civilizations once, long ago. Nothing about the champions I blessed or how they betrayed me. Or how this world seems so similar to my own or her own hidden power. Her mind shouldn’t have been blown that hard.’
48Please respect copyright.PENANA0zFM7mbA7x
48Please respect copyright.PENANAZmdyuwrr5P
Flamma: “Are you sure? I’m here for you, you know.”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAhkevm51Eq9
48Please respect copyright.PENANAWWJgG4qibr
That only made Louise slightly frown.
48Please respect copyright.PENANAiGuW8ZhjBC
48Please respect copyright.PENANAPXZGJ1MOPN
Louise: “I know.”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAM8Az9u3ObB
48Please respect copyright.PENANABkOYwFE3QQ
An awkward silence filled room. Flamma wanted to say something but her tongue was tied. Something was wrong but she couldn’t tell what. But some hope slipped in when Louise decided to break the silence.
48Please respect copyright.PENANAixo9wZAF7c
48Please respect copyright.PENANAGJ6V0wWtr6
Louise: “T-Today is the day of void, a free day. We could-”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAgVikBL2bUK
48Please respect copyright.PENANACoayFgKa1F
Before she could finish, a flying golem crashed through the window, sending glass everywhere. Faster than Louise could react, Flamma was in front of her in case any glass hit her.
48Please respect copyright.PENANADWJ0LMplvj
48Please respect copyright.PENANALqOb8NR3pJ
Flamma: “The hell!”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAtreiPD6nR3
48Please respect copyright.PENANAExSKdaPF9v
Doctor: ““EMERGENCY. CREATOR IN CRITICAL CONDITION. ASSISTANCE REQUESTED BY ALLY DOVE.”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAA2IpilXLju
48Please respect copyright.PENANA10kJx9jj6v
Flamma: “Tech…”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAiV4Vrm1oD7
48Please respect copyright.PENANAUGAIDk39XM
Flamma immediately let go of Louise, went to the window and prepared to stretch out her wings for a soft landing. But first…
48Please respect copyright.PENANACkjyty3X9Q
48Please respect copyright.PENANAoVrnpV70LI
Flamma: “Louise, don’t tell Siesta. I wouldn’t want her to worry herself to death. I’ll make sure Tech is alright. But just in case, find Zander.”
48Please respect copyright.PENANA7D5MLGo5to
48Please respect copyright.PENANANxZA5mTVdm
Doctor: “THIS UNIT WILL ACCOMPLISH THAT TASK.”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAKu1KuZvC3E
48Please respect copyright.PENANAYTDtZtXfzL
It says before flying out the window in search of Zander.
48Please respect copyright.PENANAVJBcmy95c0
48Please respect copyright.PENANAxV1RLjgS6N
Flamma: “Oh…well…just don’t tell Siesta then. Darn it, just when we need Raskreia. I’m sure she has some healing spells.”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAXhh8gvuapM
48Please respect copyright.PENANA1xvNHal5P1
With that, Flamma jumped out the window, aiming for Tech’s base. Unbeknownst to her though, the shadows of Louise’s room were moving.
48Please respect copyright.PENANAxMKQPmVyaM
48Please respect copyright.PENANABYJXgQqv99
Aeron: “He’s still alive? Impressive.”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAXZbFHgljQB
48Please respect copyright.PENANA0hb9eWl8qs
Louise spun around to see Aeron in the shadows.
48Please respect copyright.PENANAM3xBlJ52Ll
48Please respect copyright.PENANAyNlFNYnDny
Louise: “You did this!?”
48Please respect copyright.PENANA7BIOEaWti2
48Please respect copyright.PENANAIOEH5yuNJt
Aeron: “I wanted to surprise Siesta with Tech’s reanimated corpse but it seems I underestimated his ability to stay alive. But it seems he will die soon enough. Good idea by the way.”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAJ2XieI29Py
48Please respect copyright.PENANAvWsChNHo6q
Louise: “Huh?”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAkkO7sxz17X
48Please respect copyright.PENANA6pSg6bhxjX
Aeron: “This free day offers us a good chance. I’m even surprised that you were going to suggest the same thing.”
48Please respect copyright.PENANA8Kf3cFQUaT
48Please respect copyright.PENANAVIquODiCI3
Louise: “What do you mean?”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAeIRVLFPdFV
48Please respect copyright.PENANA55NDLdImyX
Aeron: “Don’t plan innocent. You were planning on learning more about Flamma for your future battle with her. Gathering information is important when fighting someone superior.”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAmvDfvN2RXK
48Please respect copyright.PENANAVhAvHerqHV
Louise: “That’s-”
48Please respect copyright.PENANACvqKrQTwaq
48Please respect copyright.PENANA7iiU3hgRXg
Aeron: “Good call. Do that while I teach Siesta. Then when you get back, I’ll do the same for you. But be warned, my methods of teaching aren’t for the weak willed.”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAEhOkPMgsf1
48Please respect copyright.PENANANjgDz23xy0
With that, Aeron faded into the shadows, leaving Louise in the fog of indecision.
48Please respect copyright.PENANAsVJZCVmhKE
48Please respect copyright.PENANA2Ko1JCrHAf
She didn’t want to get up from her bed. Deep down, she could feel that today would be another test of her heart.
48Please respect copyright.PENANAb3v5AKzwku
48Please respect copyright.PENANArqZKSYbwiD
He knew something would eventually happen. This was suppose to be a vacation of sorts but the wheels of fate continue to mess with him.
48Please respect copyright.PENANAgAZ9HKBJwb
48Please respect copyright.PENANAUTkCBFj0uA
Zander could feel it in his bones. Something was happening in this world and who ever attacked Tech was just the first sign.
48Please respect copyright.PENANAMYsAlgZotW
48Please respect copyright.PENANAKxHp7dCJJn
He spent most of the night in the library alongside Colbert, learning more about the magic of this world. He even decided to sleep there, a much better option than in Kirche’s bed.
48Please respect copyright.PENANAB38oo5J452
48Please respect copyright.PENANA1RmdOo937q
The morning was peaceful until one of Tech’s golems found him and told him the news. He teleported outside Tech’s home and Flamma led him inside.
48Please respect copyright.PENANAacsEZSUBs0
48Please respect copyright.PENANA194Fwspzt5
When they got inside, they found Dove healing a pale Tech but she was sweating bullets. She won’t last long like that…
48Please respect copyright.PENANAJwZceAPlAt
48Please respect copyright.PENANA8S1uJaomic
Dove: “Please tell me one of you can use healing magic.”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAw79Pd1NiVJ
48Please respect copyright.PENANAvyy6aJpeoM
Flamma: “…Sorry, I don’t.”
48Please respect copyright.PENANA1jqZHsRTpG
48Please respect copyright.PENANAdabBjdRVBS
Zander: “No, but I know alchemy. Whether this place has the materials to make something for healing is up in the air. But looking at him, I don’t think we have time.”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAloVLlREXyg
48Please respect copyright.PENANAQNl1QXPeya
Doctor: “AGREED. ALLY FLAMMA AND ALLEY ZANDER SHOULD PRIORITIZE HELPING CREATOR TO THE NANOBATH WHILE ALLY DOVE CONTINUES TO HEAL HIM.”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAjoXkpQB9Hs
48Please respect copyright.PENANAtqMcmmuQjh
With no more words needed, Zander and Flamma helped Tech to the Nanobathes while Dove used the remaining energy she has to keep Tech alive.
48Please respect copyright.PENANAObRhlXcONb
48Please respect copyright.PENANAGmfvlHBw8w
Doctor led the group to the nanobath and directed them on how to place Tech inside. Afterwards, Dove fell to her knees.
48Please respect copyright.PENANAuKflW1l9xa
48Please respect copyright.PENANAxRkTFNgS7K
Flamma: “Dove, are you alright!?”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAefsVFxH8FI
48Please respect copyright.PENANA5QU2gttJK7
Dove: “Just tired. But I have feeling that this won’t be enough to save Tech.”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAnGThxGcCIX
48Please respect copyright.PENANAnTE2iEN53p
Doctor: “NEGATIVE. AN UNKNOWN ENERGY SIGNATURE HAS INFECTED CREATOR. NANOBATH WILL KEEP HIM STABLE BUT UNCONSCIOUS. IF INFECTION IS NOT REMOVED THEN CREATOR WILL CEASE FUNCTIONING.”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAZLkdDEamIA
48Please respect copyright.PENANAnEzU7p18w0
Flamma: “Damn it! When I get my hands on the bastard who did this…”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAyMx3sGyXHg
48Please respect copyright.PENANAizuzFs0BG6
The whites of her eyes briefly darken while her teeth sharpen, ready to tear into the one who harmed her new friend.
48Please respect copyright.PENANAdOcfL1MXyE
48Please respect copyright.PENANAEiisoQMp9l
Zander: “But we must first heal Tech. Then we can find the one responsible. I’ll return to my own world and see if I can’t find something.”
48Please respect copyright.PENANArggidpFSyH
48Please respect copyright.PENANAiIaAxep7Wi
Zander raises his hand to open a portal home but…nothing happened. His eyes widen at his inability to bend space-time to his will.
48Please respect copyright.PENANAWdA4Etqp0r
48Please respect copyright.PENANArVbxYtiVgH
Flamma: “Zander?”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAtSlxlGep65
48Please respect copyright.PENANAai4AzZg2f2
Zander: “Impossible…even the gods couldn’t…”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAhB5mxv4nEr
48Please respect copyright.PENANAEZ6nJvtPGK
Suddenly, he felt a pair of feminine but otherworldly eyes on his back. Zander spun around and nearly blasted everything to kingdom come. But he quickly realized nothing was there.
48Please respect copyright.PENANAERNUEcZXtL
48Please respect copyright.PENANAqy926HUNSP
Zander: “Just my luck…”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAFKnkJTVqDq
48Please respect copyright.PENANAN9K4adAh0A
Dove: “What’s happening?”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAHygLlnRsvH
48Please respect copyright.PENANAlNwRAhagSi
Zander: “I don’t know, but someone, something, locked down this dimension. At least to me anyway. No more teleporting home.”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAI3vrtdCIua
48Please respect copyright.PENANABxDXCOuCtv
Zander ignored the sore feeling of not being able to see the priestesses again and focused on the immediate issue. Whatever is behind this clearly means them harm. They’ll need everything they have to survive this.
48Please respect copyright.PENANAHS3ydGG35L
48Please respect copyright.PENANAbmouKhlbI5
Dove: “There goes summoning any of the Dragons I know or conjuration magic. It’s not like this is place is close to oblivion or something.”
48Please respect copyright.PENANASDnQpeg4Y7
48Please respect copyright.PENANAR4tCefw07O
Flamma: “But if this world is locked down, what will happen to Raskreia?”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAD0sHwKNSD1
48Please respect copyright.PENANAJ4HKlfiJt9
Silence.
48Please respect copyright.PENANA2cRYF6F52z
48Please respect copyright.PENANAdBphBgXmrV
A pitch black emptiness.
48Please respect copyright.PENANAs8M9i1ZoEM
48Please respect copyright.PENANAma7bcbcs1q
That’s what she wakes up to. It was suppose to be a simple plane hopping adventure. But as soon as she stepped through her portal, darkness took her.
48Please respect copyright.PENANAfV6O5h2DBR
48Please respect copyright.PENANAZ9K8Cz71TM
But even as she regain consciousness, darkness still had her. But that’s not what really frighten her, it was the fact she can’t use gate anymore.
48Please respect copyright.PENANAmlBeXQpY9C
48Please respect copyright.PENANAul1LKSaZkd
Where was she?
48Please respect copyright.PENANAJQmuYKKyz4
48Please respect copyright.PENANAg0kKzCIkRi
This was no plane she was familiar with.
48Please respect copyright.PENANAR6iGDwNLXe
48Please respect copyright.PENANAgi6BS3LcUD
Raskreia: “Haha…this must be some kind of joke. I-”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAtiNLMhYBx7
…
48Please respect copyright.PENANAeo6ZgaxveP
Raskreia: “What?”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAJZ9xBdRWVt
…48Please respect copyright.PENANAavnFiU6C6j
48Please respect copyright.PENANAoQH4fjtKHG
Raskreia: “W-Who-”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAf7uLK5F7Js
48Please respect copyright.PENANAhssrHdboOw
Bad…
48Please respect copyright.PENANApraQjZZFYI
48Please respect copyright.PENANA2oTGBIYHaW
Raskreia: “!”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAkiv8KBUgV6
48Please respect copyright.PENANA2VBhmt3Qce
Girl…
48Please respect copyright.PENANAWsQmqbLKwP
48Please respect copyright.PENANAKxy0UuC0Wc
Everywhere. Softly at first but every moment increasingly louder.
48Please respect copyright.PENANAV5stR62q9T
48Please respect copyright.PENANAopJyFpkctv
Bad Girl.
48Please respect copyright.PENANAgvV6zR64ad
48Please respect copyright.PENANAZqx3gQYTko
Over and over and over and over and over again. Hammering her head until it was the only thing she could hear.
48Please respect copyright.PENANAFLLmx3cEJa
48Please respect copyright.PENANAoP6pUW17hA
Raskreia: “Shut up!!”
48Please respect copyright.PENANA1bZzKZcmMU
48Please respect copyright.PENANAYTv5YVO3iQ
She unleashed all the magic she could in all directions. That is…she was suppose to.
48Please respect copyright.PENANAR1GcH6ssUy
48Please respect copyright.PENANAihOyevWXgB
Any magic she unleashed was quickly smothered and eaten by the surrounding void.
48Please respect copyright.PENANAuqYx3rIWnL
48Please respect copyright.PENANAD5U0DSF6tx
Now there was another sound echoing in her skull.
48Please respect copyright.PENANAUXJDk3z17H
48Please respect copyright.PENANA2WJuTpBNT3
Hollow like us.
48Please respect copyright.PENANAhlq9dxp6mT
48Please respect copyright.PENANAO4vesMthn8
Looking down she can see her body disappearing into the dark. Inch by inch, she was being swallowed. She could kick and scream, but nothing would save her. No one would hear her scream.
48Please respect copyright.PENANAq26kiF3cXu
48Please respect copyright.PENANAUTT0pS4WT2
And if they have their way, no on will remember her either.
48Please respect copyright.PENANASWdUKxUbaJ
48Please respect copyright.PENANAgqj3EfF5TR
Raskreia: “WHY!”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAlHMHkVPX46
48Please respect copyright.PENANAEHwcb1O8lh
Silence is her answer.
48Please respect copyright.PENANAI5pNrxmLut
48Please respect copyright.PENANA3HhiDlPU0R
Or so, they would have liked. But a bright light appeared behind her and quickly after, a hand ripped her from the now screaming darkness.
48Please respect copyright.PENANAsVhhwZkuY2
48Please respect copyright.PENANAVJ0SZ5cbum
The next thing Raskreia knew, she was in a lush green forest. In what world, she didn’t care. She could feel relief. She checked her body to make sure nothing was missing before turning to her savior.
48Please respect copyright.PENANA1KM9sjCigk
48Please respect copyright.PENANAGNGZwCbghd
He was a human but the power coming off of him was unlike anything she has felt. His face worn and torn from what seems like several eternities. He wore an old tattered blue robe with white patterns adoring its surface.
48Please respect copyright.PENANA2TAKrDbDLp
48Please respect copyright.PENANAcpvU4s7OuE
Raskreia: “Thank you but…who are you?”
