Welcome, to my first fan fic. After years, I finally gave in and tried a few.
545Please respect copyright.PENANA019oW0yap5
Mostly crossovers.
545Please respect copyright.PENANAcrncC1xMg5
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.
545Please respect copyright.PENANAFMAIEl7KtP
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.
545Please respect copyright.PENANA7zoZ9HfB9j
They will be listed at the end of this one-shot.
545Please respect copyright.PENANAWoRXwOSuLU
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.
545Please respect copyright.PENANACLW5DthEtT
This is version 1 after all. If I can perfect the foundation and people like it, then I can continue.
545Please respect copyright.PENANAx0Cl7jUnpa
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.
545Please respect copyright.PENANAs3I1Rfu4AP
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.
545Please respect copyright.PENANAc7zCZ0w1yD
With that out of the way, let’s dive into this slice of eternity in a moment.
545Please respect copyright.PENANA3vKzO4GGmd
545Please respect copyright.PENANA1VZ4vXkFqf
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.
545Please respect copyright.PENANAjl4tlc1Fas
Aside from that though, they were also anxious. Anxious about what kind of familiar they would get.
545Please respect copyright.PENANANsIdGdXTg2
A summoned familiar mirrors their master’s personality and elemental affinity. Who knows what hidden secrets their familiars may accidentally reveal to everyone?
545Please respect copyright.PENANApsXC8vHowV
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.
545Please respect copyright.PENANAhx8ps92Ezy
Yes, all of them have tried and succeeded in summoning a familiar.
545Please respect copyright.PENANAu30UvLDYBA
Well, all but one.
545Please respect copyright.PENANA9bVeyqF1ph
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.
545Please respect copyright.PENANAkuA35IkuOT
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.
545Please respect copyright.PENANA311Fn4ZVAG
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.
545Please respect copyright.PENANAGGVtnE5I7E
Colbert: “All right then, has everyone had their turn?”
545Please respect copyright.PENANAAdxYejuP2x
But the one to fully shatter her hopes was her bully and rival, Kirche von Zerbst. The busty chocolate beauty.
545Please respect copyright.PENANAr7M8YEkmDJ
Kirche: “No, not quite. Ms. Valliere hasn’t done it.”
545Please respect copyright.PENANAuYZaYjQdLf
Louise: ‘Brimir, darn you Kirche.’
545Please respect copyright.PENANALv9CYz4PKb
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.
545Please respect copyright.PENANAHxESaYpsDQ
Maybe then, she’ll be respected and can finally deliver some good news to her family.
545Please respect copyright.PENANAKrvsHejLlz
She goes to the summoning area and prepares to-
545Please respect copyright.PENANA7JL8h4kTPo
“Louise the zero.”
545Please respect copyright.PENANA6QF4aCQ3Tz
“What do you suppose she’ll summon”
545Please respect copyright.PENANAwqCQijzigT
“There’s no way she can summon anything. We’ll just have another explosion and nothing else.”
545Please respect copyright.PENANAFdp1TuInxf
Kirche: “With all your boasting, you should be able to summon up something more amazing than this. Right, Louise?”
545Please respect copyright.PENANAH1WTATv7J2
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.
545Please respect copyright.PENANAfwvkSp2G6L
Louise: “Well of course!”
545Please respect copyright.PENANAy24W59cAt4
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.
545Please respect copyright.PENANA1rTJ0fGIfI
She didn’t know it then but, someone was listening to her prayers.
545Please respect copyright.PENANAR5U8V0xQJX
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!”
545Please respect copyright.PENANA4eIs5nk91l
“And so the die is cast.”
545Please respect copyright.PENANAIy4PRUsbUC
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.
545Please respect copyright.PENANAaz7CJSptap
…
…
545Please respect copyright.PENANAlOFsEXbq52
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.
545Please respect copyright.PENANAPewuIxveIT
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.
545Please respect copyright.PENANA8iPK8ECdVL
The students quickly collected themselves and began their favorite pass time.
545Please respect copyright.PENANAKh13mTV79C
“Hah, I knew it! Once a Zero always a Zero.”
545Please respect copyright.PENANAusyFvl05XV
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.
545Please respect copyright.PENANALX2tCD7i6C
The one most scared was Slyphid, the medium-sized blue dragon summoned by the petite blue-haired Tabitha.
545Please respect copyright.PENANAaBSXSo7kym
Tabitha: “What?”
545Please respect copyright.PENANAtXZriDjyJ2
Her question brought Slyphid’s head around to look her in the eyes. With their intimate bond, Slyphid was able to respond telepathically.
545Please respect copyright.PENANAFsIr51yTN7
Slyphid: ‘I smell her! I’m Frightened! But…there’s…more than just her…a…Predator.’
545Please respect copyright.PENANAgkCTVQsqJp
The panicked voice in her head startled Tabitha. For a rhyme dragon of all things to be frightened…
545Please respect copyright.PENANA3ke9f3AlXu
Tabitha: “What do you…mean?”
545Please respect copyright.PENANA6PyBECz1Xl
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.
545Please respect copyright.PENANALrRmoRUzm7
Louise: ‘Wait!? Shadows?’
545Please respect copyright.PENANAroa8gx3bnw
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.
545Please respect copyright.PENANAPmlSgRB8WA
When the smoke cleared, something completely unexpected awaited everyone. Not only did Louise summon a human but she summoned multiple familiars.
545Please respect copyright.PENANAo90SKGATfM
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.
545Please respect copyright.PENANALIVV31rvSu
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.
545Please respect copyright.PENANArVkVuaFUCP
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.
545Please respect copyright.PENANAbESnqq87Dj
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.
545Please respect copyright.PENANAjaCSvIgyrx
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.
545Please respect copyright.PENANA5kS69Zz2Pp
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.
545Please respect copyright.PENANAv4da5mx3xL
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.
545Please respect copyright.PENANAdNh7MLlNlk
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.
545Please respect copyright.PENANAlIPqODwZXW
As for Louise, she just couldn’t look away. Especially after what happened next.
545Please respect copyright.PENANABlPLR3oDvJ
“Kolo Zu’u, druv los tinvaak dovahzul?”
545Please respect copyright.PENANA1Jy5Bjbzq3
…
…545Please respect copyright.PENANAsqRT0AHda5
545Please respect copyright.PENANAr27sUo3emQ
Kirche: “Did that dragon just…speak?”
545Please respect copyright.PENANA5ueF0zHA1T
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.
545Please respect copyright.PENANAs8FVKOTom2
After a few moments of conversation and looking around, they stopped and looked at Louise.
545Please respect copyright.PENANAK4mC9wr0E1
“Okay, who summoned us?”
545Please respect copyright.PENANAsv7QhEvPtz
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.
545Please respect copyright.PENANA7wL5nilfek
Louise: “I-I did. My name is Louise Francoise Le Blanc de La Valliere.”545Please respect copyright.PENANApdMO5glrS7
545Please respect copyright.PENANAHgZheBHgtd
“Well hi Louise, my name is Raskreia or Rask for short. This dragon is named Dovahkiin, strange name I know.”
545Please respect copyright.PENANAxs6U1rqPj8
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.
545Please respect copyright.PENANAjIlmS2gWl6
545Please respect copyright.PENANAWO85O5lgze
Raskreia: “Now, I have questions but first I think we should help the kid.”
545Please respect copyright.PENANAA3VcvnojL8
545Please respect copyright.PENANAPCovLO3l8v
Colbert finally escaped his shock and agreed. He asks some students to carry the boy to the infirmary.
545Please respect copyright.PENANAPlRpIAToED
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.
545Please respect copyright.PENANAWNkzhOQdoF
Colbert: ‘Who knows what could’ve happened if we delayed any further.’
545Please respect copyright.PENANA52KEniWlSX
“Ugh, what, is with the racket.”
545Please respect copyright.PENANAPz2QPobFhZ
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.
545Please respect copyright.PENANAI6vxzx8Vrg
“I slept in an inn in my underwear, and I wake up in a summoning circle in them. Ugh, what even?”
545Please respect copyright.PENANABxcO00ujaB
Raskreia: “Well, looks who’s awake.”
545Please respect copyright.PENANAA8tIsKNM8V
She sighs.545Please respect copyright.PENANAjyWZXb7TOc
545Please respect copyright.PENANA4cqNMb9gDi
“And I am surrounded by children and a strange dragon.”
545Please respect copyright.PENANANDUXjfPR2e
Colbert: “Since everyone is awake, not including the injured, we should proceed with the bonding ritual.”545Please respect copyright.PENANAn2zTn7u8pQ
545Please respect copyright.PENANAo8YqSCFsmB
Raskreia: “Sure, if you’re going to explain to us what in the nine hells is going on here exactly and where we are?”545Please respect copyright.PENANAkjrhAFK2Eq
545Please respect copyright.PENANAOJhzR5f9SJ
At this, Louise answers before the man could.545Please respect copyright.PENANAXx1GH8dWee
545Please respect copyright.PENANAyitB2weNoB
Louise: “You’re here because I summoned you all to be my familiar with the summon servant spell, and I am your master now.”
545Please respect copyright.PENANABAegu6aFlG
Rask rolls her eyes while the other 2 had more animated responses.545Please respect copyright.PENANAKKgyOkcrMy
545Please respect copyright.PENANAcMqFZWS8SF
“Whoa, back the fuck up. Why should I be your familiar?”545Please respect copyright.PENANASvF0NQ2YBo
545Please respect copyright.PENANA616o5cduRH
Dovahkiin: “What do you mean by bonding?”545Please respect copyright.PENANA7ujY0LGJeO
545Please respect copyright.PENANABKzowkIHkH
Everyone except Rask blinked. That was in Tristainian.545Please respect copyright.PENANAyaiKUAtr6l
545Please respect copyright.PENANAZMnhnCSmnB
Dovahkiin: “Oh, so now my voice returns.”
545Please respect copyright.PENANAvll0FM87YX
Colbert: “You can speak our language?”
545Please respect copyright.PENANAb47OP4hLof
Dovahkiin: “I can speak this language, but before I was…confused and spoke in native Dovahzul.”
545Please respect copyright.PENANAzrzBVZO4Xn
Raskreia: “Really? I guess I don’t need this anymore then.”
545Please respect copyright.PENANAGq4xFq8lxD
Rask puts the ring back in her bag.
545Please respect copyright.PENANAfIcx2BBAlT
Colbert: “Dovahzul, I haven’t heard of that language.”
545Please respect copyright.PENANA1EzR9NLkjI
“Neither have I, strange.”
545Please respect copyright.PENANAecAbMmWFEb
Dovahkiin: “Enough of this, what do you mean by bonding?”
545Please respect copyright.PENANAGXeh6GjAzz
Despite the group before her, Louise bravely stepped forward again.
545Please respect copyright.PENANAB4RBsVqNqI
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.”
545Please respect copyright.PENANAICMBIfGENO
The reactions from all summoned present varied but none good.545Please respect copyright.PENANA1vkpiZw12A
545Please respect copyright.PENANAeF1EC2i8zQ
Raskreia: “I’m fine with getting summoned but getting branded like some animal, no thanks.”545Please respect copyright.PENANA7NWGZ3wi9f
545Please respect copyright.PENANAcbwPduaZqz
Louise’s mood quickly deteriorates but there’s still hope she thought. She summoned more than one, surely one would agree.
545Please respect copyright.PENANAMlPj50y194
But that thought quickly faded away when the dragon growled. It drew itself up by stretching its wings down and glared at Louise.
545Please respect copyright.PENANAF6K7bTJHDh
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?”
545Please respect copyright.PENANAgEeKfSngIL
Raskreia: ‘Oh no, they made the dragon mad. That’s never a good idea. No matter the plane.’
545Please respect copyright.PENANAuqVYE6E4FK
Colbert stepped in as Louise faltered and took several steps back.
545Please respect copyright.PENANA1FCmvJLeX3
Colbert: “It’s how the holy ritual has been performed for hundreds of years.”
545Please respect copyright.PENANAOLCXiLX0zT
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.”
545Please respect copyright.PENANA7WVIV3iGCu
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.
545Please respect copyright.PENANA9vyAOoOCBs
Dovahkiin: “I for one refuse to become anyone’s slave. I simply want to return to the life I lived before this all occurred.”
545Please respect copyright.PENANAZLrzI6YFCQ
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.”
545Please respect copyright.PENANAGPIohag3xc
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.’545Please respect copyright.PENANAcuFx91ph4c
545Please respect copyright.PENANACfGQwhV5JX
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.
545Please respect copyright.PENANAjOZx0Vnd7s
She grips her wand tightly, wishing this was all a dream. Unbeknownst to her, there was one that considered her offer.
545Please respect copyright.PENANAkeaMcTY1iZ
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.
545Please respect copyright.PENANAyM1qwwmBcI
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.
545Please respect copyright.PENANAZk6MFufTwW
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.545Please respect copyright.PENANANWypYgs2gq
545Please respect copyright.PENANAyFajVxLMj4
She knew intimately what happens in situations like that. Despite her previous obligations, the redhead made her choice.545Please respect copyright.PENANAd6ZxRJpdRu
545Please respect copyright.PENANANmxDwrip4L
“If a familiar is what you seek, then you shall have one. I agree to be yours.”
545Please respect copyright.PENANACiBpyGZw7i
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.
545Please respect copyright.PENANAWMAD0lBdoo
Dovahkiin: “You!? You would subject yourself as a slave to a child? Where is your pride as a Dovah?”
545Please respect copyright.PENANARuRj5Gp83B
“Dovah? I see, that's your word for it. So you can tell?”
545Please respect copyright.PENANAOpFm58DSBc
Dovahkiin: *Nod*
545Please respect copyright.PENANAZMLLfuJGLQ
“I have my own reasons.”
545Please respect copyright.PENANAKVDlik8nsg
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.
545Please respect copyright.PENANA7Neu1HAUO7
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?
545Please respect copyright.PENANArAXBhvX6Tu
Raskreia: “Well I won’t judge you. It’s your choice.”
545Please respect copyright.PENANA6ryBpv43c9
Louise reapplies her rule of steel mask and starts towards the redhead. She let out an indignant, resigned huff as she raised her wand.
545Please respect copyright.PENANAro5exZcqKZ
Louise: “Consider yourself fortunate, commoner. Normally, you’d never in your life have a noble do this to you.”
545Please respect copyright.PENANAe3T6RMSBBC
Louise: “My name is Louise Francoise Le Blanc de La Valliere. Oh, pentagon that rules the five elements, bless this individual and-”
545Please respect copyright.PENANAyiiDxlEZPE
545Please respect copyright.PENANASZZayDQQsE
‘Did you think this was it?’
545Please respect copyright.PENANAcnB7Jnzzrk
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.
545Please respect copyright.PENANArNOrexeF6f
“Louise!?”
545Please respect copyright.PENANA4A0WhmJrTG
Everyone, including the dragon, looks at Louise with concern. Before anyone could go to her and see what’s wrong, something else extraordinary happens.
545Please respect copyright.PENANAkUK7iGKpIz
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.
545Please respect copyright.PENANAxKRCGqaRYb
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.
545Please respect copyright.PENANAWcKvW5200c
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.
545Please respect copyright.PENANAfeLjSyM7q7
Raskeria: “The hell was that?”
545Please respect copyright.PENANAvrvqrhDtYw
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.
545Please respect copyright.PENANAkuEbXEHeOm
Colbert: “A golem?”
545Please respect copyright.PENANAqVp27TkvvA
Dovahkiin: “No, something more.”
545Please respect copyright.PENANAPV8aJBCCbf
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.
545Please respect copyright.PENANARgyqDRjZkP
Guiche: “Unhand me this instant!”
545Please respect copyright.PENANAXUgsgVc1yV
It didn’t respond instead it brought its other arm up and balled it into a fist.
545Please respect copyright.PENANANcRBmVKfWd
Guiche: “You would dare hit a noble!? I tell you, my father is a gener-”
545Please respect copyright.PENANAJ8202KgBNF
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.
545Please respect copyright.PENANA4KSEwgPLg3
Colbert: “Mister Grammont!”
545Please respect copyright.PENANAe8ROmhJl4V
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.
545Please respect copyright.PENANAlLUQWwECKk
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.
545Please respect copyright.PENANAXIH2675qBG
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.
545Please respect copyright.PENANAFXjwPMh35S
Guiche: “L-Louise?”545Please respect copyright.PENANAmTh33VDTlC
545Please respect copyright.PENANALaYig3IaMO
Colbert: “But how?”
545Please respect copyright.PENANAXETmA9mNfx
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.
545Please respect copyright.PENANAOe8Eajsqwa
Raskeria: “Can this day get any crazier?”
545Please respect copyright.PENANAfoIRfssLD6
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.
545Please respect copyright.PENANAcr2oA5inmX
Guiche: “How dare-”
545Please respect copyright.PENANAGqeN59WzWt
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.
545Please respect copyright.PENANAP7qpJWcW37
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.
545Please respect copyright.PENANABIaarS7RXE
Regardless, Dova took the golem and threw it across the field away from the students.
545Please respect copyright.PENANAkqkNvUx6Sh
While this was happening, the redhead took Louise to a safe distance. She could help but she wanted to keep Louise safe for now.
545Please respect copyright.PENANAuwgY2bqK4B
Raskeria: “That has to be among the strongest golems I’ve ever seen.”
545Please respect copyright.PENANAdcEfhCvjp9
Dovahkiin: “It’s like a Dwemer automation but more…advanced somehow.”
545Please respect copyright.PENANAyne3YFIvY7
Louise?: “I don’t remember you two when I left. Who are you two?”
545Please respect copyright.PENANAb5dOUkFntQ
Raskeria: “Talk later, fight now!”
545Please respect copyright.PENANAEBFOPUVg6O
Dovahkiin: “YOL TOOR SHUL!”
545Please respect copyright.PENANAw94ccEbIQE
The dragon breathes intense heat at the golem while Raskeria casts a strange spell that also shoots bolts of fire.
545Please respect copyright.PENANA6d6MP0uVyO
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.
545Please respect copyright.PENANAe1rjGjWtkP
Raskeria: “Okay, that thing is too dangerous. Disintegrate.”
545Please respect copyright.PENANAOW5JZ8hr1L
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.
545Please respect copyright.PENANAMOnHpvzahk
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.
545Please respect copyright.PENANAHGYeZGRgS2
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.
545Please respect copyright.PENANA7mzJj5ZtXD
This proved to be the right choice when the sound of lightning cracked from the cloud of dust.
545Please respect copyright.PENANABIBVOVBMG2
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.
545Please respect copyright.PENANA3S0oV4in9p
Raskeria: “Another one!? To think, I was just hanging out with friends and now I have to fight for my life.”
545Please respect copyright.PENANARZd4hh0goe
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.
545Please respect copyright.PENANA91Ohr78CNB
Eventually, the sound of clicking reached her ears. She disassembled her shield and placed her hands behind her with her palms open.
545Please respect copyright.PENANAPnu1PEQPBv
Louise 2: ‘Here’s my chanc-”
545Please respect copyright.PENANAaoHovE5pRH
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.
545Please respect copyright.PENANAXx2XC3YUog
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.
545Please respect copyright.PENANAXK5XX73eB8
Raskeria: “Did Louise summon another one? I can’t deny it, that’s impressive.”
545Please respect copyright.PENANAYtyu2np1rw
Louise 2: “Friend or foe?”
545Please respect copyright.PENANAWtWnRWBAid
Jake: “Depends on what happens next. The name’s Jake Logan Anderson, Jake will do.”
545Please respect copyright.PENANAjv2c62AJrh
Dovahkiin: “FUS RO DAH”
545Please respect copyright.PENANAZOzTXfEKpt
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.
545Please respect copyright.PENANAMoicP30Wtc
Dovahkiin: ‘I need to get used to this body and fast. I hope that was the last of them.’
545Please respect copyright.PENANAChBpYyachr
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.
545Please respect copyright.PENANAeBOSBibStB
Louise 2: “Mr. Colbert!”
545Please respect copyright.PENANAj82XoyOgck
This seemed to jog the man from his shock.
545Please respect copyright.PENANAKRKLVOvenh
Colbert: “Um yes, what do you need Ms….you are Valliere right?”
545Please respect copyright.PENANA5joJ3tGUq2
Louise 2: “Yes. Evacuate everyone from this place right now.”
545Please respect copyright.PENANAWEZ0hXBwW7
Raskeria: “Why? Isn’t it over?”
545Please respect copyright.PENANAf9CPfWpu3D
Jake: “No, it’s never that easy.”
545Please respect copyright.PENANASUi8NoVKtR
Louise 2: “He’s right, this courtyard isn’t safe anymore.”
545Please respect copyright.PENANAkv1Cnut78m
The doppelganger looked at the strangers she fought with.
545Please respect copyright.PENANApkwJmKmrpv
Louise 2: “Can trust one of you to help Colbert protect everyone.”
545Please respect copyright.PENANAqvpoao5GDd
Before any of them could answer, the red-head answered.
545Please respect copyright.PENANA6Qm53FScYK
“I’ll protect him along with…you I guess.”
545Please respect copyright.PENANACzGXaOxu83
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.
545Please respect copyright.PENANAD0QCtfailK
Louise 2: “And who are you?”
545Please respect copyright.PENANABSigXpfFjV
“My name is Aeterna Flamma, your familiar.”
545Please respect copyright.PENANAC5VdrHAsPY
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.
545Please respect copyright.PENANA9s2B0eg8Df
Dovahkiin: “Trust her, she is stronger than she looks.”
545Please respect copyright.PENANAkU5jJNC6ji
Louise: 2: “…Fine. I won’t argue with a dragon. Especially not now.”
545Please respect copyright.PENANAhvrjo0VbQf
Aeterna: “Good, come on everyone.”
545Please respect copyright.PENANAKFBsYnQKDR
Colbert: “Y-You heard them, we can’t stay here any-”
545Please respect copyright.PENANA00CiKo6Rcr
Suddenly, the sound of something rattling made itself known throughout the courtyard. Louise 2 clicked her tongue.
545Please respect copyright.PENANA7AUsMhs0UQ
Louise 2: “Go, NOW!”
545Please respect copyright.PENANAEH3ySkIXs5
They followed her order, many out of fear of the sight before them. The 3 golems slowly but surely collapsed into strange black sand.
545Please respect copyright.PENANAu8DsOV8GtO
Jake: “What the fuck?! Are these truly machines?”
545Please respect copyright.PENANAM2NaGH1Boi
Raskeria: “I’m starting to question that too.”
545Please respect copyright.PENANAwx58RoblI1
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.
545Please respect copyright.PENANAK62pLfg0Wi
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.
545Please respect copyright.PENANAUM2CSgCRMe
The arms were next. The left was a massive blade and the right was a massive claw hand.
545Please respect copyright.PENANAl12ARg8hZN
Finally, the head was bulky enough to discourage any beheading. But the most important part was the lines connecting to the chest area.
545Please respect copyright.PENANAlaAH8rvLLn
Louise 2: ‘That’s its weak point.’
545Please respect copyright.PENANAWmMmlcY61O
Its eyes finally light up and lock onto the fighters.
545Please respect copyright.PENANA294Cj97c1Z
Louise 2: “Just my luck, a Ravager.”
545Please respect copyright.PENANAp0ycPVksSY
Raskeria: “A what?”
545Please respect copyright.PENANAC5u1RY1KO8
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.
545Please respect copyright.PENANAvND5r7qKIj
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.
545Please respect copyright.PENANAIk64Ld1dAa
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.
545Please respect copyright.PENANAxohZGoZXAe
Louise 2: “Go!”
545Please respect copyright.PENANA83zsK0O4bN
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.
545Please respect copyright.PENANA7yHXQlrvvh
Raskeria aided the group with various spells, mostly fire and stuff like ‘Create Pit’.
545Please respect copyright.PENANAblITkBhsYV
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.
545Please respect copyright.PENANA3FT8P6KbIX
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.
545Please respect copyright.PENANA690zfeDzyJ
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.
545Please respect copyright.PENANA06UrJWNeYx
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.
545Please respect copyright.PENANAszTp8rm0Kl
Raskeria: “Yeah, stay right there. Disintegrate.”
545Please respect copyright.PENANATbDXn66KFZ
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.
545Please respect copyright.PENANAZoMNFoP7Er
Louise 2: “That won’t be enough! We need to destroy its core.”
545Please respect copyright.PENANAyHoWmNurxS
Jake: “Where is it then!?”
545Please respect copyright.PENANAYWNxRvLGVg
Louise 2: “It was in its chest but who knows where it will be when it reforms.”
545Please respect copyright.PENANAaMf5Roc6B0
They look back at Rask and she couldn’t help but rub the back of her head.
545Please respect copyright.PENANA04mRibFeqd
Raskeria: “My bad.”
545Please respect copyright.PENANABgMPk5kHnb
Jake: “Tch, it’s like fighting a machine version of me.”
545Please respect copyright.PENANA00PuP33v43
Dovahkiin: “FO KRAH DIIN”
545Please respect copyright.PENANAgNKbAgIm78
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.
545Please respect copyright.PENANA1p5okjvdMi
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.
545Please respect copyright.PENANAfAEqx4Gkbi
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.”
545Please respect copyright.PENANAV9070WLilB
Raskeria: “What do you mean?”
545Please respect copyright.PENANAImTvXa23Aw
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.”
545Please respect copyright.PENANAxD489uf1If
Jake: “…Fine.”
545Please respect copyright.PENANAtIsMyVP5II
The other 2 nodded and got into position.
545Please respect copyright.PENANA4uYSpXD0jp
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.
545Please respect copyright.PENANAoV8SoQghWc
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.
545Please respect copyright.PENANAbJzTMsmxYm
Louise 2: “You got to be kidding me.”545Please respect copyright.PENANAePd7oe4RKG
545Please respect copyright.PENANArZaL63nQxv
The Ravager started firing at everything below. Raskeria created another shield around everyone to block the heavy bullet fire.
545Please respect copyright.PENANAXD0skxSkAO
Raskeria: “Dovahkiin, this is all you. I’ll focus on protecting everyone while you distract it enough to prevent it from firing.”
545Please respect copyright.PENANAKtZCbKbizm
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.
545Please respect copyright.PENANATSCT0weMS7
Despite Dovah’s best efforts though, Ravager wasn’t that bothered by it’s attacks. That was until Dovah started using more unique shouts.
545Please respect copyright.PENANAihDCZdwyRr
Dovahkiin: “VEN GAAR NOS!”
545Please respect copyright.PENANAdLXB8HNT9W
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.
545Please respect copyright.PENANA59v9rvlmp9
Louise 2: “Great, bring it down quick! I can see where the core is! Focus your attacks on its head!”
545Please respect copyright.PENANAz3BslDQ6eR
Raskeria: “I still need to keep the shield on Dovahkiin so I can’t attack.”
545Please respect copyright.PENANAZ5OU493Tb6
Louise 2: “That’s a good thing, just focus on support.”
545Please respect copyright.PENANABI27Ga2zbF
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.
545Please respect copyright.PENANAaUYTmj8LeD
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.
545Please respect copyright.PENANAxff7oA9atA
Raskeria: “Was that…magic?”
545Please respect copyright.PENANAVCtc7JzRSl
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.”
545Please respect copyright.PENANAru3vRm00Gq
Dova shrugged it off but still lost some ground. Jake on the other hand was on fire and falling.
545Please respect copyright.PENANA8310cYY51h
Jake: ‘Of course, it had to use fire and lightning of all things.’
545Please respect copyright.PENANAgrx9SkcxPX
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.
545Please respect copyright.PENANAsxIfEfDsga
It abandoned the dragon and went to delete the living weapon. But before it could, another welcomed surprise appeared. The final and winning variable.
545Please respect copyright.PENANAC0I1XTedXd
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.
545Please respect copyright.PENANAm1YAdkR8D5
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.
545Please respect copyright.PENANAIxaGRysS12
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.
545Please respect copyright.PENANARpH4mf7ln9
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.
545Please respect copyright.PENANAHGku6rjugZ
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.
545Please respect copyright.PENANAEjc75UdV5B
Louise 2: “I don’t know who you are but if you can understand me, keep it down while I end this.”
545Please respect copyright.PENANAyB7IRYd8Uv
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.
545Please respect copyright.PENANA3jAz48sgSj
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.
545Please respect copyright.PENANAviWyt6liwr
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.’
545Please respect copyright.PENANAKMgkHo6oeO
The distance between them became smaller.
545Please respect copyright.PENANAIgVMlMx64d
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.
545Please respect copyright.PENANADs8ezVtEqS
20 meters
545Please respect copyright.PENANAuCHgkimG6a
Arcs of pink electricity started to form around her.
545Please respect copyright.PENANAfAM3wv58q3
15 meters
545Please respect copyright.PENANAYLQQwqSBZZ
She opened her eyes; her vision was surrounded by plenty of warnings but she dismissed them.
545Please respect copyright.PENANAKe9D6aRfpK
10 meters
545Please respect copyright.PENANAARsiexSF5I
Louise 2: “Adapt to this!”
545Please respect copyright.PENANAMfzdXxPgB4
5 meters
545Please respect copyright.PENANAgqtfJzbz7y
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.
545Please respect copyright.PENANAXAG7khNCAL
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.
545Please respect copyright.PENANAr3x1OZETYm
The sonic boom made it into everyone’s ears. Students screamed and even the fighters had to cover their ears as the ground quaked.
545Please respect copyright.PENANAGmmPbak2wC
The fighters aside from Jake ran up to the aftermath of the attack. Colbert also came running despite Aeterna’s warning.
545Please respect copyright.PENANAPFHMsmZfx3
Good news, the Ravager now sported a missing head. Bad news, behind the Ravager was a badly damaged Louise 2.
545Please respect copyright.PENANAEvJ98siwKb
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.
545Please respect copyright.PENANAc83sqkRtJx
Raskeria: “Okay, that looks terrible. But I can fix this.”
545Please respect copyright.PENANAf1lsWjiSiz
She started to create ice to cool her down before applying healing magic. But before she could a voice stopped her.
545Please respect copyright.PENANAXd2Pgd2kZt
“STOP, YOU’RE GOING TO KILL HER!”
545Please respect copyright.PENANAqefGQKwoNm
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.
545Please respect copyright.PENANAqniEY8q7dB
Colbert: “Stop, any closer and we’ll consider you an enemy!”
545Please respect copyright.PENANA4onLxTE8DE
Raskeria: “I vote enemy, where was he when everything was going wrong?”
545Please respect copyright.PENANAWSj778JY1u
Louise 2: “B-Bench? I-Is that…y-you?”
545Please respect copyright.PENANAduMeLFSpyh
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.
545Please respect copyright.PENANAF6G4mRboFq
Colbert: “Miss Valliere!”
545Please respect copyright.PENANAKRbwQaXzb8
Louise 2: “Please…let Bench…come to me…professor.”
545Please respect copyright.PENANAnQFS9UIHCh
Raskeria: “But what about my magic? I can heal you good as new.”
545Please respect copyright.PENANAUlKgZuCfWx
Louise 2: “Don’t…I…d-don’t know…what effect it…will h-have.”
545Please respect copyright.PENANAqVN44JcZxf
Bench: “Listen to her, I know what to do. Trust me, she’s in good hands.”
545Please respect copyright.PENANAMwTolakQfK
Raskeria: “…Fine. This whole thing is beyond me anyway.”
545Please respect copyright.PENANATVg4UtHdn8
Heeding his words, Raskeria and Colbert moved out of the way. Bench approached Louise 2 and a blue line scanned her entire being.
545Please respect copyright.PENANAW25wG82DiQ
Bench: “You’ve really done it this time Louise.”
545Please respect copyright.PENANAniUpzeS9Vx
Louise 2: “Why does…it…matter…I destroyed…the Ravager.”
545Please respect copyright.PENANArssYvNv12X
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.”
545Please respect copyright.PENANAtiTZ55j3LN
Raskeria: ‘You mean what I was going to do?’
545Please respect copyright.PENANAFPk7aiQf9E
Louise 2: “Then would…this help?”
545Please respect copyright.PENANAi3J6adXw1k
She asks while letting go of a red orb that was giving a low hum.
545Please respect copyright.PENANAjKzUWXSbFJ
Bench: “Is that what I think it is?”
545Please respect copyright.PENANAIN3n2lQZ1B
Louise 2: “Y-You bet…it is.”
545Please respect copyright.PENANAr5VcaMQP2X
A blue line passed over the orb from Bench.
545Please respect copyright.PENANAvqafRKWNye
Bench: “I can’t believe it, a Ravager core.”
545Please respect copyright.PENANAuAovFfruEH
Raskeria: “You mean that’s what we were fighting to destroy? Why is it intact?”
545Please respect copyright.PENANAyUc6lQv5Ga
Bench: “Because this might be the only sure way to save Louise.”
545Please respect copyright.PENANAqgHkFZJ5i6
Raskeria: “Magic is out but the core of that monster is okay?”
545Please respect copyright.PENANAmIeHt0kQid
Dovahkiin: “I agree, destroy it.”
545Please respect copyright.PENANAXg6VxSDPux
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?”
545Please respect copyright.PENANA6S5klCdk9D
Raskeria: “No but I’m keeping my eye on you…and that.”
545Please respect copyright.PENANAYKYGr3sFK0
Bench: “By all means.”
545Please respect copyright.PENANASP0QVv0vLs
Louise 2: “So…can you…d-do it Bench?”
545Please respect copyright.PENANAISc1emLNyh
Bench: “Do you know who you’re talking to?
545Please respect copyright.PENANA6nYHhUz14B
Louise 2: “That’s…good.”
545Please respect copyright.PENANAmRx7kufYDm
Louise 2 finally succumbs to her wounds and passes out. Bench looks to Colbert and gives a stern order.
545Please respect copyright.PENANAA3RtbhIYRf
Bench: “Take me to where your clinic is, I have a Hunter to repair!”
545Please respect copyright.PENANAu960rqNO1U
Jake: “Wait a minute!”
545Please respect copyright.PENANAHJOTcsrzJO
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.
545Please respect copyright.PENANAFcS2qA0Fr8
Bench: “What are you doing?!”
545Please respect copyright.PENANA20e9yCP5SK
Jake: “Just because I helped defeat that thing doesn’t mean we’re allies. I need answers!”
545Please respect copyright.PENANA7biuNBOUh4
Raskeria: “Calm down Jake, do you really want to fight everyone here?”
545Please respect copyright.PENANAuyNiUF2HQo
Jake: “…I’ll do what I have to.”
545Please respect copyright.PENANAj55An9HZJz
Colbert: “W-What do you want to know?”
545Please respect copyright.PENANA3iqulG3PpB
Bench: “We don’t have time for this! Louise will die if Colbert doesn’t show me to the clinic.”
545Please respect copyright.PENANAeyQsgPM2HX
Jake: “I don’t care.”
545Please respect copyright.PENANApYNmnb9PFJ
Bench: “You-”
545Please respect copyright.PENANAxqzbpHCnQ4
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.
545Please respect copyright.PENANAjP5VixhDuO
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.
545Please respect copyright.PENANA5oFFALBqqU
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.
545Please respect copyright.PENANAPduvkrGXNe
“Can you understand me?”
545Please respect copyright.PENANAh4KKyBC8aF
Raskeria: ‘A translation spell? Oh, he’s good.’
545Please respect copyright.PENANALnGy01XUtc
Colbert: “Y-Yes.”
545Please respect copyright.PENANAbrsSGVUC9l
“Wonderful, my name is Zander and I’ll take them to the clinic.”
545Please respect copyright.PENANACzWcgT9u8w
Colbert: “But how? You don’t know the way.”
545Please respect copyright.PENANAqYnvWLMVYA
Zander: “I’ll ask one of the students or the staff. I’m sure they’ll help.”
545Please respect copyright.PENANAIbb58Tmlsl
With a slight twist of his wrist, Louise begins to float off the ground.
545Please respect copyright.PENANAIXJa2T1Jsw
Zander: “Shall we go Bench?”
545Please respect copyright.PENANAu5K8gPElsD
Bench: “Yes, quickly now.”
545Please respect copyright.PENANA8vcnSxs3Gt
They begin to leave but before that Zander gives a sharp glare to Jake.
545Please respect copyright.PENANA68u82ufTqt
Zander: “I hope I don’t have to come back here and deal with you Jake. I rather we be friends than enemies.”
545Please respect copyright.PENANAkqdH9jn8o3
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.
545Please respect copyright.PENANAomQGho2F3k
No one said a word until Zander was gone.
545Please respect copyright.PENANAmYtYTqeiAR
Colbert: “Okay, so what do you want to know Jake.”
545Please respect copyright.PENANAQylJF5HUtN
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…”
545Please respect copyright.PENANAvWTTob1yUu
Jake brings his blade a bit closer to Colbert which makes everyone tense up, ready for another fight.
545Please respect copyright.PENANAtod6PztQHl
Jake: “You will take me back to New York.”
545Please respect copyright.PENANAqOhwYREs3L
Colbert: “I’m sorry but…there’s no way back. None that we know of.”
545Please respect copyright.PENANAe6htQ3MBb4
The moment those words left his mouth, he felt the urge to slice off his head.
545Please respect copyright.PENANAfQPjluULFs
No way to get back to New York meant Blackwatch ran free and the only family he has left was in danger.
545Please respect copyright.PENANAcFeEYzcfEI
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.
545Please respect copyright.PENANAR708dBGhBv
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.
545Please respect copyright.PENANAvENPp4VC7K
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!”
545Please respect copyright.PENANAwoypn2riEE
Colbert: “Sir, I’m truly sorry but there is no way to reverse this.”
545Please respect copyright.PENANAEbEjClxMgM
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.
545Please respect copyright.PENANA81JVpsDPKA
Raskeria: “There might be a way.”
545Please respect copyright.PENANAgW6nhevtPI
Everyone turned toward the girl. Jake’s eyes widened with relief but also slow-cooking anger.
545Please respect copyright.PENANAMEw5y0A0vM
Jake: “Tell me.”
545Please respect copyright.PENANAE3QPRzD6dJ
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.”
545Please respect copyright.PENANAIMtbCZyTBx
Jake: “Then-”
545Please respect copyright.PENANAbDzT2LfZoL
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…”
545Please respect copyright.PENANA6qWl1zGc3G
Jake: “Or?”
545Please respect copyright.PENANAa4Kug6FxTg
Raskeria: “Learn magic and go yourself.”
545Please respect copyright.PENANAHEczkbVGTR
Colbert: “Learn magic?”
545Please respect copyright.PENANAjqPkC1WMZx
Raskeria: “Yeah, it will be hard but it can be done.”
545Please respect copyright.PENANAemLOywggc3
Jake: “…”
545Please respect copyright.PENANA2GzehjhD0X
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.
545Please respect copyright.PENANAuN7GCRyT87
But still, time is of the essence. He can’t be gone for long.
545Please respect copyright.PENANAnit3nZhiMt
Jake: “How long would it take for me to learn.”
545Please respect copyright.PENANAn0vLplKeFk
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.”
545Please respect copyright.PENANAIxQss0pdrb
Jake: ‘Years!? No, I don’t have that kind of time. I’ll leave that as a backup.’
545Please respect copyright.PENANAeek2ttLhwQ
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.”
545Please respect copyright.PENANAPqbfc2LYW5
Raskeria: “Sure, sure. Right now though, I’m tired. I’m going home and telling everyone what happened. See you. ‘gate’.”
545Please respect copyright.PENANAeC2IaTZ2M5
A rip in reality appears behind Raskeria. She yawns and goes through which causes it to close.
545Please respect copyright.PENANAoVxcIXlNMC
Jake: ‘Tch, she better make good on our deal. Or I have another person on my list to kill here.’
545Please respect copyright.PENANA6LbuT8Jdug
Jake: *Sigh*
545Please respect copyright.PENANAm81a1mPOOW
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.”
545Please respect copyright.PENANA9C50scnM8n
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.
545Please respect copyright.PENANAqFgLPrytkT
Colbert: “Well, you’re the last one. What will you do?”
545Please respect copyright.PENANA4mo0TVJ01G
Dovahkiin: “Stay for now. Jake’s situation seemed more serious than mine so he can get the gate treatment first. Besides…”
545Please respect copyright.PENANAC9DXVZwZhU
Dovahkiin: ‘It’s not all Louise’s fault that I ended up here. Damn that dedric prince.’
545Please respect copyright.PENANA51lcsPdvUo
Colbert: “Yes?”
545Please respect copyright.PENANA1BdM38LbX2
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.”
545Please respect copyright.PENANAyaIiuf0eaT
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.
545Please respect copyright.PENANAcYu19xOIRm
Colbert: “Brimir save us, what has Louise unleashed…”
545Please respect copyright.PENANAlEZj7x0Ppa
[Louise’s Room]
545Please respect copyright.PENANAZjLujTMEOf
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.
545Please respect copyright.PENANA96rlb1xm7x
She gently takes her to the bed and lies her down.
545Please respect copyright.PENANATRt1KwcbpI
Aeterna: “Already, that power is drawing dangerous things to you.”
545Please respect copyright.PENANAROdsKanVTv
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.
545Please respect copyright.PENANALwn6KQpk6w
Aeterna: “Did she really expect me to sleep on that? I guess she was expecting an animal though.”
545Please respect copyright.PENANAK2buFCWBXE
She looks down at her body and remembers that she’s still wearing lingerie.
545Please respect copyright.PENANAnMxH85nqz7
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.”
545Please respect copyright.PENANAmYNAk5i4qF
With that thought, Aeterna leaves the room.
545Please respect copyright.PENANAnvSBMjanWB
…
…
545Please respect copyright.PENANAjPWaYTbphZ
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.
545Please respect copyright.PENANACH5qkgNYVh
‘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.’
545Please respect copyright.PENANAKIOvs8y6fO
‘Hehe, I’m getting excited. Sweet dreams Louise.’
545Please respect copyright.PENANAikmJ2tzYcq
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.
545Please respect copyright.PENANAakc5XmxGlc
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.
545Please respect copyright.PENANAN7AzujSyPn
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.
545Please respect copyright.PENANAnvdCVQ8Gmp
Among the clouds and across the forest, more rips threaten to form.
545Please respect copyright.PENANANnglOqLo3H

545Please respect copyright.PENANAsNmKG9h1FU
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.
545Please respect copyright.PENANArs7c05gKPD
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.
545Please respect copyright.PENANAHJ8BRzNfzd
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.
