Welcome, to my first fan fic. After years, I finally gave in and tried a few.
697Please respect copyright.PENANARfi2NfEYA7
Mostly crossovers.
697Please respect copyright.PENANAfPskmW00uF
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.
697Please respect copyright.PENANAGQeQ7D0Wjs
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.
697Please respect copyright.PENANAutMb6jCM1C
They will be listed at the end of this one-shot.
697Please respect copyright.PENANAZX8uRGbUsD
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.
697Please respect copyright.PENANAGqTzKMP42X
This is version 1 after all. If I can perfect the foundation and people like it, then I can continue.
697Please respect copyright.PENANAMDkr4z3agk
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.
697Please respect copyright.PENANAIx7IcR6Zja
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.
697Please respect copyright.PENANAibqgiiE3QM
With that out of the way, let’s dive into this slice of eternity in a moment.
697Please respect copyright.PENANAe3s3L4T4zH
697Please respect copyright.PENANAHZgduwMKg2
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.
697Please respect copyright.PENANAscr0qofmeO
Aside from that though, they were also anxious. Anxious about what kind of familiar they would get.
697Please respect copyright.PENANALwNdOXyPwL
A summoned familiar mirrors their master’s personality and elemental affinity. Who knows what hidden secrets their familiars may accidentally reveal to everyone?
697Please respect copyright.PENANAzZEp8mYSlO
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.
697Please respect copyright.PENANAbGpzcprRzB
Yes, all of them have tried and succeeded in summoning a familiar.
697Please respect copyright.PENANASkwVPdbQNz
Well, all but one.
697Please respect copyright.PENANApRTyKlh0Ub
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.
697Please respect copyright.PENANA0B3EuzEden
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.
697Please respect copyright.PENANAsWAb8TD5aN
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.
697Please respect copyright.PENANAMZHVfUqfAO
Colbert: “All right then, has everyone had their turn?”
697Please respect copyright.PENANAQp1wbTYFk4
But the one to fully shatter her hopes was her bully and rival, Kirche von Zerbst. The busty chocolate beauty.
697Please respect copyright.PENANArJDUM25jIt
Kirche: “No, not quite. Ms. Valliere hasn’t done it.”
697Please respect copyright.PENANAIV46SdHxrw
Louise: ‘Brimir, darn you Kirche.’
697Please respect copyright.PENANAat6WtAWOho
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.
697Please respect copyright.PENANAvasmzP1t4w
Maybe then, she’ll be respected and can finally deliver some good news to her family.
697Please respect copyright.PENANAEZiQHgNXUg
She goes to the summoning area and prepares to-
697Please respect copyright.PENANAx8R35KWANk
“Louise the zero.”
697Please respect copyright.PENANAH62EDh9SCz
“What do you suppose she’ll summon”
697Please respect copyright.PENANA1VpPQMDgCT
“There’s no way she can summon anything. We’ll just have another explosion and nothing else.”
697Please respect copyright.PENANAUryhFtLTcZ
Kirche: “With all your boasting, you should be able to summon up something more amazing than this. Right, Louise?”
697Please respect copyright.PENANAoROeZmVXEA
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.
697Please respect copyright.PENANAQdoDLUJquO
Louise: “Well of course!”
697Please respect copyright.PENANArtLl07T94A
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.
697Please respect copyright.PENANA4xxOPf5A6W
She didn’t know it then but, someone was listening to her prayers.
697Please respect copyright.PENANAdGWhOCiQZw
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!”
697Please respect copyright.PENANAohnSByBi2b
“And so the die is cast.”
697Please respect copyright.PENANAHXd0j9zTbX
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.
697Please respect copyright.PENANAPOQearHlOT
…
…
697Please respect copyright.PENANAETVoR9x1dh
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.
697Please respect copyright.PENANA714Gy8h4Hr
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.
697Please respect copyright.PENANA5o7P3fIMvO
The students quickly collected themselves and began their favorite pass time.
697Please respect copyright.PENANAdSNHu6NVkk
“Hah, I knew it! Once a Zero always a Zero.”
697Please respect copyright.PENANAYHXLNBi7SZ
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.
697Please respect copyright.PENANAYQBOsg5DIB
The one most scared was Slyphid, the medium-sized blue dragon summoned by the petite blue-haired Tabitha.
697Please respect copyright.PENANA8EdR2wE6GN
Tabitha: “What?”
697Please respect copyright.PENANAQu83XSOjHf
Her question brought Slyphid’s head around to look her in the eyes. With their intimate bond, Slyphid was able to respond telepathically.
697Please respect copyright.PENANACUnnXL9OZi
Slyphid: ‘I smell her! I’m Frightened! But…there’s…more than just her…a…Predator.’
697Please respect copyright.PENANA0R0GTCKObJ
The panicked voice in her head startled Tabitha. For a rhyme dragon of all things to be frightened…
697Please respect copyright.PENANAqojNzmehEq
Tabitha: “What do you…mean?”
697Please respect copyright.PENANAJ3t1kEiaaR
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.
697Please respect copyright.PENANAjg84yYHyPQ
Louise: ‘Wait!? Shadows?’
697Please respect copyright.PENANAmjWMamUIHR
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.
697Please respect copyright.PENANAAWK1oNKRiO
When the smoke cleared, something completely unexpected awaited everyone. Not only did Louise summon a human but she summoned multiple familiars.
697Please respect copyright.PENANADQAVrHRggC
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.
697Please respect copyright.PENANA9TwTsUVVe7
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.
697Please respect copyright.PENANAFILEwXpRWS
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.
697Please respect copyright.PENANARGkDvmJ6Wx
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.
697Please respect copyright.PENANAJXHmZry6Qq
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.
697Please respect copyright.PENANAaYp4TY4Hhq
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.
697Please respect copyright.PENANAmsFqgZnb9J
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.
697Please respect copyright.PENANA0sbPW5e22u
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.
697Please respect copyright.PENANApQfLm4QIMX
As for Louise, she just couldn’t look away. Especially after what happened next.
697Please respect copyright.PENANAhpdJ6I5yXf
“Kolo Zu’u, druv los tinvaak dovahzul?”
697Please respect copyright.PENANAyYwrOoFzhO
…
…697Please respect copyright.PENANAQx6gWEim9Q
697Please respect copyright.PENANAoOoFPklkqn
Kirche: “Did that dragon just…speak?”
697Please respect copyright.PENANAId68mSB2eg
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.
697Please respect copyright.PENANAUGpwhgK1hG
After a few moments of conversation and looking around, they stopped and looked at Louise.
697Please respect copyright.PENANA5be2O0uICF
“Okay, who summoned us?”
697Please respect copyright.PENANApV9eF5LTov
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.
697Please respect copyright.PENANABwWXeMHghA
Louise: “I-I did. My name is Louise Francoise Le Blanc de La Valliere.”697Please respect copyright.PENANARN5j48K9zF
697Please respect copyright.PENANA9pMkItD3rM
“Well hi Louise, my name is Raskreia or Rask for short. This dragon is named Dovahkiin, strange name I know.”
697Please respect copyright.PENANAbRbR8mSIOM
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.
697Please respect copyright.PENANAvm3ENAJTgC
697Please respect copyright.PENANAY9jm29Mlf2
Raskreia: “Now, I have questions but first I think we should help the kid.”
697Please respect copyright.PENANAGq8txIDBVR
697Please respect copyright.PENANA2XpTSitRD4
Colbert finally escaped his shock and agreed. He asks some students to carry the boy to the infirmary.
697Please respect copyright.PENANAkUsS58q9KW
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.
697Please respect copyright.PENANAXemkDiOtKU
Colbert: ‘Who knows what could’ve happened if we delayed any further.’
697Please respect copyright.PENANAIfgh3dAXXq
“Ugh, what, is with the racket.”
697Please respect copyright.PENANAteAVj0YCEO
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.
697Please respect copyright.PENANA5BxwmUmnkl
“I slept in an inn in my underwear, and I wake up in a summoning circle in them. Ugh, what even?”
697Please respect copyright.PENANAI8Y05Dos29
Raskreia: “Well, looks who’s awake.”
697Please respect copyright.PENANAmsjeKvaqqc
She sighs.697Please respect copyright.PENANAqyluZqvCC2
697Please respect copyright.PENANAWynVK3qzRn
“And I am surrounded by children and a strange dragon.”
697Please respect copyright.PENANAZdl7sqWfsn
Colbert: “Since everyone is awake, not including the injured, we should proceed with the bonding ritual.”697Please respect copyright.PENANArNfcWztaKV
697Please respect copyright.PENANAmT1XR0iYo1
Raskreia: “Sure, if you’re going to explain to us what in the nine hells is going on here exactly and where we are?”697Please respect copyright.PENANAtPCePbwpBO
697Please respect copyright.PENANAVaUhBeCL1I
At this, Louise answers before the man could.697Please respect copyright.PENANAFIkqjRooiU
697Please respect copyright.PENANAzsy8HuVdCJ
Louise: “You’re here because I summoned you all to be my familiar with the summon servant spell, and I am your master now.”
697Please respect copyright.PENANAkG2pn4Qeaa
Rask rolls her eyes while the other 2 had more animated responses.697Please respect copyright.PENANAzeG5Uo2ood
697Please respect copyright.PENANAkAi9ocJWPk
“Whoa, back the fuck up. Why should I be your familiar?”697Please respect copyright.PENANAYrxBx3TGg2
697Please respect copyright.PENANAPeOvP1HhBy
Dovahkiin: “What do you mean by bonding?”697Please respect copyright.PENANAaDL2wkP9uw
697Please respect copyright.PENANACTKBSLovIq
Everyone except Rask blinked. That was in Tristainian.697Please respect copyright.PENANAeJ6QaPM6Xa
697Please respect copyright.PENANAnexT5GfuE9
Dovahkiin: “Oh, so now my voice returns.”
697Please respect copyright.PENANAc7PSzkrj1x
Colbert: “You can speak our language?”
697Please respect copyright.PENANAhoGsGuZ8NJ
Dovahkiin: “I can speak this language, but before I was…confused and spoke in native Dovahzul.”
697Please respect copyright.PENANAPIiaK5ZfbK
Raskreia: “Really? I guess I don’t need this anymore then.”
697Please respect copyright.PENANAW2JrV9ebOo
Rask puts the ring back in her bag.
697Please respect copyright.PENANAi6wPC4Atis
Colbert: “Dovahzul, I haven’t heard of that language.”
697Please respect copyright.PENANA6QLDTa2Qft
“Neither have I, strange.”
697Please respect copyright.PENANA5LZu5KWxQy
Dovahkiin: “Enough of this, what do you mean by bonding?”
697Please respect copyright.PENANABnxxeZGCgH
Despite the group before her, Louise bravely stepped forward again.
697Please respect copyright.PENANAIcFrp5inMR
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.”
697Please respect copyright.PENANAnb8EXlEjbM
The reactions from all summoned present varied but none good.697Please respect copyright.PENANAk1b9sAUlwz
697Please respect copyright.PENANA2B5TcJ8Owi
Raskreia: “I’m fine with getting summoned but getting branded like some animal, no thanks.”697Please respect copyright.PENANAMcJyxqy4Bh
697Please respect copyright.PENANAtUx7EQg7tF
Louise’s mood quickly deteriorates but there’s still hope she thought. She summoned more than one, surely one would agree.
697Please respect copyright.PENANA9xXbDh08Ru
But that thought quickly faded away when the dragon growled. It drew itself up by stretching its wings down and glared at Louise.
697Please respect copyright.PENANAGRhj2qBxXK
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?”
697Please respect copyright.PENANAVfS67pK38B
Raskreia: ‘Oh no, they made the dragon mad. That’s never a good idea. No matter the plane.’
697Please respect copyright.PENANARDod20BQLk
Colbert stepped in as Louise faltered and took several steps back.
697Please respect copyright.PENANAO4nC98sYYj
Colbert: “It’s how the holy ritual has been performed for hundreds of years.”
697Please respect copyright.PENANAj781ko4EXI
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.”
697Please respect copyright.PENANAlW6HyMLpKA
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.
697Please respect copyright.PENANAgCd8iyQA7j
Dovahkiin: “I for one refuse to become anyone’s slave. I simply want to return to the life I lived before this all occurred.”
697Please respect copyright.PENANApXVTmVKkSf
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.”
697Please respect copyright.PENANAuAqGoMWnMd
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.’697Please respect copyright.PENANAYshB60YYBe
697Please respect copyright.PENANAs3VT8a3ID8
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.
697Please respect copyright.PENANAHwb8BiRF5f
She grips her wand tightly, wishing this was all a dream. Unbeknownst to her, there was one that considered her offer.
697Please respect copyright.PENANA1yrEqJB7Z4
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.
697Please respect copyright.PENANAexfO8iPCBu
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.
697Please respect copyright.PENANAjdEB8K2N54
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.697Please respect copyright.PENANAlueg53YjOt
697Please respect copyright.PENANAOsXMiBQJBJ
She knew intimately what happens in situations like that. Despite her previous obligations, the redhead made her choice.697Please respect copyright.PENANAi4WQHNjEa0
697Please respect copyright.PENANABd4eF27zB9
“If a familiar is what you seek, then you shall have one. I agree to be yours.”
697Please respect copyright.PENANASdsnd4MMXO
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.
697Please respect copyright.PENANAygbo3hwfGb
Dovahkiin: “You!? You would subject yourself as a slave to a child? Where is your pride as a Dovah?”
697Please respect copyright.PENANAxLkHf214sl
“Dovah? I see, that's your word for it. So you can tell?”
697Please respect copyright.PENANALdLBGHTq4Z
Dovahkiin: *Nod*
697Please respect copyright.PENANAi7Qvr7aDkl
“I have my own reasons.”
697Please respect copyright.PENANAgWEmEc8Oyw
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.
697Please respect copyright.PENANAAlpvbwu9Rn
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?
697Please respect copyright.PENANA7UF0ukeQDJ
Raskreia: “Well I won’t judge you. It’s your choice.”
697Please respect copyright.PENANABXi2cpjrQu
Louise reapplies her rule of steel mask and starts towards the redhead. She let out an indignant, resigned huff as she raised her wand.
697Please respect copyright.PENANAAb6wih1reE
Louise: “Consider yourself fortunate, commoner. Normally, you’d never in your life have a noble do this to you.”
697Please respect copyright.PENANA8byCi4OV7v
Louise: “My name is Louise Francoise Le Blanc de La Valliere. Oh, pentagon that rules the five elements, bless this individual and-”
697Please respect copyright.PENANAC2M5dXEUyw
697Please respect copyright.PENANA7DTDyUxx3d
‘Did you think this was it?’
697Please respect copyright.PENANAmwS5mb1BHa
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.
697Please respect copyright.PENANA6sM82UypKO
“Louise!?”
697Please respect copyright.PENANAMl43gzJFvw
Everyone, including the dragon, looks at Louise with concern. Before anyone could go to her and see what’s wrong, something else extraordinary happens.
697Please respect copyright.PENANAA3dHZm5PFS
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.
697Please respect copyright.PENANA1uehoTM6uH
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.
697Please respect copyright.PENANAtj06OtV5yD
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.
697Please respect copyright.PENANASwBq21RO6B
Raskeria: “The hell was that?”
697Please respect copyright.PENANApu0ekgfOVE
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.
697Please respect copyright.PENANA1SLZxf8GfK
Colbert: “A golem?”
697Please respect copyright.PENANAsbZpaHLT0T
Dovahkiin: “No, something more.”
697Please respect copyright.PENANA2vpQL4fref
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.
697Please respect copyright.PENANA23LlOcZhCk
Guiche: “Unhand me this instant!”
697Please respect copyright.PENANALjtATzkvHG
It didn’t respond instead it brought its other arm up and balled it into a fist.
697Please respect copyright.PENANAOn5kPks7x4
Guiche: “You would dare hit a noble!? I tell you, my father is a gener-”
697Please respect copyright.PENANAyDoO8MGsGV
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.
697Please respect copyright.PENANAvS7P9pi0DZ
Colbert: “Mister Grammont!”
697Please respect copyright.PENANANmz8HFB4RN
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.
697Please respect copyright.PENANAiRe1J8aZCp
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.
697Please respect copyright.PENANAQV23Emtt9l
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.
697Please respect copyright.PENANARZ0muxFENf
Guiche: “L-Louise?”697Please respect copyright.PENANAgzWW4HREb2
697Please respect copyright.PENANACtk8KHrBWI
Colbert: “But how?”
697Please respect copyright.PENANA37ZtqtyaG3
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.
697Please respect copyright.PENANAvXHlWOuVGR
Raskeria: “Can this day get any crazier?”
697Please respect copyright.PENANAFL4VVBIaab
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.
697Please respect copyright.PENANAItYcDVVf6u
Guiche: “How dare-”
697Please respect copyright.PENANAnpJ55R5vpO
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.
697Please respect copyright.PENANAUKAWHb4EO4
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.
697Please respect copyright.PENANA6dlIjJX9Zu
Regardless, Dova took the golem and threw it across the field away from the students.
697Please respect copyright.PENANAhUmNgAV77U
While this was happening, the redhead took Louise to a safe distance. She could help but she wanted to keep Louise safe for now.
697Please respect copyright.PENANAzJR3p9WLNA
Raskeria: “That has to be among the strongest golems I’ve ever seen.”
697Please respect copyright.PENANA9fm4Ft8KDJ
Dovahkiin: “It’s like a Dwemer automation but more…advanced somehow.”
697Please respect copyright.PENANAQ2oikzQpWJ
Louise?: “I don’t remember you two when I left. Who are you two?”

Raskeria: “Talk later, fight now!”
697Please respect copyright.PENANAuMkfS9jV5O
Dovahkiin: “YOL TOOR SHUL!”
697Please respect copyright.PENANAuIthdvJ5uK
The dragon breathes intense heat at the golem while Raskeria casts a strange spell that also shoots bolts of fire.
697Please respect copyright.PENANAnWYlMfbCcR
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.
697Please respect copyright.PENANA3sLTTmP2JJ
Raskeria: “Okay, that thing is too dangerous. Disintegrate.”
697Please respect copyright.PENANAWzBZaJWOik
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.
697Please respect copyright.PENANADGBToK87Xj
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.
697Please respect copyright.PENANAzgVfEYASWM
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.
697Please respect copyright.PENANAb9Cc1KAcSY
This proved to be the right choice when the sound of lightning cracked from the cloud of dust.
697Please respect copyright.PENANAXeJGIa4JNx
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.
697Please respect copyright.PENANAepUToBFoH2
Raskeria: “Another one!? To think, I was just hanging out with friends and now I have to fight for my life.”
697Please respect copyright.PENANAYPZl571zS9
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.
697Please respect copyright.PENANAjM9Ndc9gB6
Eventually, the sound of clicking reached her ears. She disassembled her shield and placed her hands behind her with her palms open.
697Please respect copyright.PENANAfS5ILokwJT
Louise 2: ‘Here’s my chanc-”
697Please respect copyright.PENANAzdbzoMboGm
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.
697Please respect copyright.PENANANoJyUZPXpL
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.
697Please respect copyright.PENANAl6X7gZc2lu
Raskeria: “Did Louise summon another one? I can’t deny it, that’s impressive.”
697Please respect copyright.PENANAcLIAOfgIAY
Louise 2: “Friend or foe?”
697Please respect copyright.PENANAc3UlSZ8UGM
Jake: “Depends on what happens next. The name’s Jake Logan Anderson, Jake will do.”
697Please respect copyright.PENANAy62sVkJP4b
Dovahkiin: “FUS RO DAH”
697Please respect copyright.PENANAU3Tlni5oDh
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.
697Please respect copyright.PENANAmHy7XHPd4h
Dovahkiin: ‘I need to get used to this body and fast. I hope that was the last of them.’
697Please respect copyright.PENANAUDWImAKfxh
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.
697Please respect copyright.PENANAjDXyhEWMSv
Louise 2: “Mr. Colbert!”
697Please respect copyright.PENANAlASW5FPglA
This seemed to jog the man from his shock.
697Please respect copyright.PENANA2w9zovXjrp
Colbert: “Um yes, what do you need Ms….you are Valliere right?”
697Please respect copyright.PENANAzejN7IHSiE
Louise 2: “Yes. Evacuate everyone from this place right now.”
697Please respect copyright.PENANAFX4n1RTdNv
Raskeria: “Why? Isn’t it over?”
697Please respect copyright.PENANAONyP09XAZC
Jake: “No, it’s never that easy.”
697Please respect copyright.PENANA0S4cJZcSpK
Louise 2: “He’s right, this courtyard isn’t safe anymore.”
697Please respect copyright.PENANALrLTQ9cVK4
The doppelganger looked at the strangers she fought with.
697Please respect copyright.PENANAsTuJya5PHt
Louise 2: “Can trust one of you to help Colbert protect everyone.”
697Please respect copyright.PENANAXklkqEbjU6
Before any of them could answer, the red-head answered.
697Please respect copyright.PENANAS9HxfdzUUY
“I’ll protect him along with…you I guess.”
697Please respect copyright.PENANAjp6newuktV
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.
697Please respect copyright.PENANAlYYQWVbvp6
Louise 2: “And who are you?”
697Please respect copyright.PENANApeuaZMUjQj
“My name is Aeterna Flamma, your familiar.”
697Please respect copyright.PENANAkB7G3eQD02
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.
697Please respect copyright.PENANAV3FDeA11Bu
Dovahkiin: “Trust her, she is stronger than she looks.”
697Please respect copyright.PENANAlNDynUL5N8
Louise: 2: “…Fine. I won’t argue with a dragon. Especially not now.”
697Please respect copyright.PENANAYZdKponbbi
Aeterna: “Good, come on everyone.”
697Please respect copyright.PENANABcfV2KWvXa
Colbert: “Y-You heard them, we can’t stay here any-”
697Please respect copyright.PENANA6Z7s3AMn5X
Suddenly, the sound of something rattling made itself known throughout the courtyard. Louise 2 clicked her tongue.
697Please respect copyright.PENANAiP5RSIIBRy
Louise 2: “Go, NOW!”
697Please respect copyright.PENANA74fuptLTBL
They followed her order, many out of fear of the sight before them. The 3 golems slowly but surely collapsed into strange black sand.
697Please respect copyright.PENANAl5w5nx2Ux1
Jake: “What the fuck?! Are these truly machines?”
697Please respect copyright.PENANACrAG7AQEOR
Raskeria: “I’m starting to question that too.”
697Please respect copyright.PENANAZNcNri8gfn
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.
697Please respect copyright.PENANAwZF0MRg6Xd
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.
697Please respect copyright.PENANAX85NFc4eJl
The arms were next. The left was a massive blade and the right was a massive claw hand.
697Please respect copyright.PENANA9WTCwQuKyo
Finally, the head was bulky enough to discourage any beheading. But the most important part was the lines connecting to the chest area.
697Please respect copyright.PENANAspTqStJqDC
Louise 2: ‘That’s its weak point.’
697Please respect copyright.PENANAGJGA1C36ZS
Its eyes finally light up and lock onto the fighters.
697Please respect copyright.PENANAYEtT2ncQtf
Louise 2: “Just my luck, a Ravager.”
697Please respect copyright.PENANASyB3rSt9nE
Raskeria: “A what?”
697Please respect copyright.PENANA541dc3NAbw
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.
697Please respect copyright.PENANAVcd1RodZcP
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.
697Please respect copyright.PENANA4P2vcGzgdN
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.
697Please respect copyright.PENANANl2BEIj0oI
Louise 2: “Go!”
697Please respect copyright.PENANAW3Xv9pLe0X
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.
697Please respect copyright.PENANATJZF2FPHTF
Raskeria aided the group with various spells, mostly fire and stuff like ‘Create Pit’.
697Please respect copyright.PENANAiRZkPvmhWT
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.
697Please respect copyright.PENANADhejpK2DmK
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.
697Please respect copyright.PENANABBYiFuFySJ
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.
697Please respect copyright.PENANAlr35VEEfxz
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.
697Please respect copyright.PENANAZQXR0s1XQF
Raskeria: “Yeah, stay right there. Disintegrate.”
697Please respect copyright.PENANAVbombwuq1r
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.
697Please respect copyright.PENANAEDrFXMNOFO
Louise 2: “That won’t be enough! We need to destroy its core.”
697Please respect copyright.PENANAq9VkzuUIFs
Jake: “Where is it then!?”
697Please respect copyright.PENANA7UXW7qDBZ7
Louise 2: “It was in its chest but who knows where it will be when it reforms.”
697Please respect copyright.PENANADP6sP4bfr8
They look back at Rask and she couldn’t help but rub the back of her head.
697Please respect copyright.PENANAyoLj7XHHvd
Raskeria: “My bad.”
697Please respect copyright.PENANA60WxRXhqyn
Jake: “Tch, it’s like fighting a machine version of me.”
697Please respect copyright.PENANAhAs5l5pjvd
Dovahkiin: “FO KRAH DIIN”
697Please respect copyright.PENANAXP8FDiZdrr
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.
697Please respect copyright.PENANAHLyn9zpMZl
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.
697Please respect copyright.PENANALoUUnQTnjI
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.”
697Please respect copyright.PENANAeluLf2T5jn
Raskeria: “What do you mean?”
697Please respect copyright.PENANAuD0oo6nR9h
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.”
697Please respect copyright.PENANAB2ntUYciyy
Jake: “…Fine.”
697Please respect copyright.PENANA2LBmmBboMO
The other 2 nodded and got into position.
697Please respect copyright.PENANAo2BvbszKOq
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.
697Please respect copyright.PENANAAilCcmuANZ
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.
697Please respect copyright.PENANAlgrog1DywI
Louise 2: “You got to be kidding me.”697Please respect copyright.PENANA3qmTkrvVKr
697Please respect copyright.PENANA51nt7pSDSG
The Ravager started firing at everything below. Raskeria created another shield around everyone to block the heavy bullet fire.
697Please respect copyright.PENANAo9eEAM31mC
Raskeria: “Dovahkiin, this is all you. I’ll focus on protecting everyone while you distract it enough to prevent it from firing.”
697Please respect copyright.PENANAMfSa49rXwK
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.
697Please respect copyright.PENANAllCi6Nfbhf
Despite Dovah’s best efforts though, Ravager wasn’t that bothered by it’s attacks. That was until Dovah started using more unique shouts.
697Please respect copyright.PENANAitGNhVux2e
Dovahkiin: “VEN GAAR NOS!”
697Please respect copyright.PENANAnQTm8JjCqs
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.
697Please respect copyright.PENANAAKAONBgMMt
Louise 2: “Great, bring it down quick! I can see where the core is! Focus your attacks on its head!”
697Please respect copyright.PENANAGdBVnPWZ6l
Raskeria: “I still need to keep the shield on Dovahkiin so I can’t attack.”
697Please respect copyright.PENANA3MBxgHh4bI
Louise 2: “That’s a good thing, just focus on support.”
697Please respect copyright.PENANAaBjTPVhvAS
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.
697Please respect copyright.PENANAnfe7HVPAGm
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.
697Please respect copyright.PENANAFEZC5cJghy
Raskeria: “Was that…magic?”
697Please respect copyright.PENANAtNMAwJRdXb
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.”
697Please respect copyright.PENANAzBJeFdXUNk
Dova shrugged it off but still lost some ground. Jake on the other hand was on fire and falling.
697Please respect copyright.PENANAdM4JmZ6xLh
Jake: ‘Of course, it had to use fire and lightning of all things.’
697Please respect copyright.PENANAWqYIOBZVWr
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.
697Please respect copyright.PENANAsoE3kXYMd9
It abandoned the dragon and went to delete the living weapon. But before it could, another welcomed surprise appeared. The final and winning variable.
697Please respect copyright.PENANAqMRvpRfbnG
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.
697Please respect copyright.PENANALeMBssbXAG
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.
697Please respect copyright.PENANAqsEzXARkND
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.
697Please respect copyright.PENANAXNXjeZ325G
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.
697Please respect copyright.PENANAyBxksM4RnZ
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.
697Please respect copyright.PENANASrvuU3tm8z
Louise 2: “I don’t know who you are but if you can understand me, keep it down while I end this.”
697Please respect copyright.PENANAXUOwUqVRqj
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.
697Please respect copyright.PENANAVmTeWZS1EQ
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.
697Please respect copyright.PENANA9BMB7Z4a5N
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.’
697Please respect copyright.PENANABmbGJKvipL
The distance between them became smaller.
697Please respect copyright.PENANA8sZE8sf6gE
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.
697Please respect copyright.PENANAvIt3vwQoJI
20 meters
697Please respect copyright.PENANASxSKGMpwew
Arcs of pink electricity started to form around her.
697Please respect copyright.PENANAIpq0qWX194
15 meters
697Please respect copyright.PENANAUgGgTmIuPE
She opened her eyes; her vision was surrounded by plenty of warnings but she dismissed them.
697Please respect copyright.PENANA008waeIswK
10 meters
697Please respect copyright.PENANAGkOUBUGHXK
Louise 2: “Adapt to this!”
697Please respect copyright.PENANAITbHAZtz7s
5 meters
697Please respect copyright.PENANA2MYF1N0ux6
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.
697Please respect copyright.PENANAjNdxNvB5Gu
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.
697Please respect copyright.PENANAfyufgbcvHK
The sonic boom made it into everyone’s ears. Students screamed and even the fighters had to cover their ears as the ground quaked.
697Please respect copyright.PENANABqAqRHDbjK
The fighters aside from Jake ran up to the aftermath of the attack. Colbert also came running despite Aeterna’s warning.
697Please respect copyright.PENANAXCTYMh3Z0d
Good news, the Ravager now sported a missing head. Bad news, behind the Ravager was a badly damaged Louise 2.
697Please respect copyright.PENANAlHKvozaXkw
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.
697Please respect copyright.PENANA9MlmDZpnTr
Raskeria: “Okay, that looks terrible. But I can fix this.”
697Please respect copyright.PENANAP1Z0HaxtLS
She started to create ice to cool her down before applying healing magic. But before she could a voice stopped her.
697Please respect copyright.PENANAN3LnPNVO70
“STOP, YOU’RE GOING TO KILL HER!”
697Please respect copyright.PENANATEPQuxeNPo
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.
697Please respect copyright.PENANA6TUq4tNd6j
Colbert: “Stop, any closer and we’ll consider you an enemy!”
697Please respect copyright.PENANAhewbmQzuOb
Raskeria: “I vote enemy, where was he when everything was going wrong?”
697Please respect copyright.PENANA9SjFyrUIlg
Louise 2: “B-Bench? I-Is that…y-you?”
697Please respect copyright.PENANAGfbrkORQ2J
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.
697Please respect copyright.PENANAM4N6TyXR7j
Colbert: “Miss Valliere!”
697Please respect copyright.PENANA2b5wLsVMjZ
Louise 2: “Please…let Bench…come to me…professor.”
697Please respect copyright.PENANA9ViQxpqTkV
Raskeria: “But what about my magic? I can heal you good as new.”
697Please respect copyright.PENANAgNrJ8ZTTPo
Louise 2: “Don’t…I…d-don’t know…what effect it…will h-have.”
697Please respect copyright.PENANANUo45fTZbZ
Bench: “Listen to her, I know what to do. Trust me, she’s in good hands.”
697Please respect copyright.PENANA7y8rUd1mDy
Raskeria: “…Fine. This whole thing is beyond me anyway.”
697Please respect copyright.PENANAdKbaHwudwx
Heeding his words, Raskeria and Colbert moved out of the way. Bench approached Louise 2 and a blue line scanned her entire being.
697Please respect copyright.PENANAFSK0YFWcbG
Bench: “You’ve really done it this time Louise.”
697Please respect copyright.PENANAtjS7l92Zz4
Louise 2: “Why does…it…matter…I destroyed…the Ravager.”
697Please respect copyright.PENANAuRx5GvAIyk
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.”
697Please respect copyright.PENANA87ED5CsCvo
Raskeria: ‘You mean what I was going to do?’
697Please respect copyright.PENANAO3mOnA6yL8
Louise 2: “Then would…this help?”
697Please respect copyright.PENANA8gmwupbtqJ
She asks while letting go of a red orb that was giving a low hum.
697Please respect copyright.PENANAyKqYRqs0ct
Bench: “Is that what I think it is?”
697Please respect copyright.PENANAG1RlMzlOBU
Louise 2: “Y-You bet…it is.”
697Please respect copyright.PENANAPw8i2ZsDrV
A blue line passed over the orb from Bench.
697Please respect copyright.PENANAdib6I67ixX
Bench: “I can’t believe it, a Ravager core.”
697Please respect copyright.PENANAE4vmDHdF4W
Raskeria: “You mean that’s what we were fighting to destroy? Why is it intact?”
697Please respect copyright.PENANAwncpxdK6ey
Bench: “Because this might be the only sure way to save Louise.”
697Please respect copyright.PENANAiKza3sWKQI
Raskeria: “Magic is out but the core of that monster is okay?”
697Please respect copyright.PENANA7Rf98QzEgD
Dovahkiin: “I agree, destroy it.”
697Please respect copyright.PENANATgpewSagdG
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?”
697Please respect copyright.PENANA3RdUYmrcTr
Raskeria: “No but I’m keeping my eye on you…and that.”
697Please respect copyright.PENANANNx4mix7Id
Bench: “By all means.”
697Please respect copyright.PENANAtHWXjtEdWw
Louise 2: “So…can you…d-do it Bench?”
697Please respect copyright.PENANA1pRDOUvRGd
Bench: “Do you know who you’re talking to?
697Please respect copyright.PENANABCr5PZGB8v
Louise 2: “That’s…good.”
697Please respect copyright.PENANAoOLjFWcDSV
Louise 2 finally succumbs to her wounds and passes out. Bench looks to Colbert and gives a stern order.
697Please respect copyright.PENANAk8c24iUIw5
Bench: “Take me to where your clinic is, I have a Hunter to repair!”
697Please respect copyright.PENANAoV4f6KlThO
Jake: “Wait a minute!”
697Please respect copyright.PENANArqqPYrLKXb
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.
697Please respect copyright.PENANAkfAn7Uy5Yx
Bench: “What are you doing?!”
697Please respect copyright.PENANAkbNV6wgQnC
Jake: “Just because I helped defeat that thing doesn’t mean we’re allies. I need answers!”
697Please respect copyright.PENANAINqWimvCN7
Raskeria: “Calm down Jake, do you really want to fight everyone here?”
697Please respect copyright.PENANA7nGNP46jcK
Jake: “…I’ll do what I have to.”
697Please respect copyright.PENANAfi8Euw1r2V
Colbert: “W-What do you want to know?”
697Please respect copyright.PENANA8Jrt5t7Z1g
Bench: “We don’t have time for this! Louise will die if Colbert doesn’t show me to the clinic.”
697Please respect copyright.PENANAyXi1ar8461
Jake: “I don’t care.”
697Please respect copyright.PENANAl7lK43uCGL
Bench: “You-”
697Please respect copyright.PENANADeW5IiDxJK
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.
697Please respect copyright.PENANA6FjzZKJWLS
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.
697Please respect copyright.PENANAKOXQ5qtKxg
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.
697Please respect copyright.PENANAkPnKF2MUto
“Can you understand me?”
697Please respect copyright.PENANAFncv8ybxil
Raskeria: ‘A translation spell? Oh, he’s good.’
697Please respect copyright.PENANAD2R9Ndwp5r
Colbert: “Y-Yes.”
697Please respect copyright.PENANAFb16isTwxf
“Wonderful, my name is Zander and I’ll take them to the clinic.”
697Please respect copyright.PENANAiLM7u1KpOZ
Colbert: “But how? You don’t know the way.”
697Please respect copyright.PENANAici4g5YYrC
Zander: “I’ll ask one of the students or the staff. I’m sure they’ll help.”
697Please respect copyright.PENANArxLBngRMLi
With a slight twist of his wrist, Louise begins to float off the ground.
697Please respect copyright.PENANAbvtKsNrezD
Zander: “Shall we go Bench?”
697Please respect copyright.PENANAZqohrt4fGz
Bench: “Yes, quickly now.”
697Please respect copyright.PENANAp20TJhalt6
They begin to leave but before that Zander gives a sharp glare to Jake.
697Please respect copyright.PENANAMOpKaSMgmL
Zander: “I hope I don’t have to come back here and deal with you Jake. I rather we be friends than enemies.”
697Please respect copyright.PENANAUfLM87kg2d
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.
697Please respect copyright.PENANALMblLGCHPL
No one said a word until Zander was gone.
697Please respect copyright.PENANAA3C6QPr6gy
Colbert: “Okay, so what do you want to know Jake.”
697Please respect copyright.PENANABIo7Hmvhcu
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…”
697Please respect copyright.PENANA2ZzriO2IE9
Jake brings his blade a bit closer to Colbert which makes everyone tense up, ready for another fight.
697Please respect copyright.PENANAN7patQtLNc
Jake: “You will take me back to New York.”
697Please respect copyright.PENANA8wrws8Y99N
Colbert: “I’m sorry but…there’s no way back. None that we know of.”
697Please respect copyright.PENANA1WuimBlWdI
The moment those words left his mouth, he felt the urge to slice off his head.
697Please respect copyright.PENANAXtZiFLC1qQ
No way to get back to New York meant Blackwatch ran free and the only family he has left was in danger.
697Please respect copyright.PENANAjwP4PJWASg
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.
697Please respect copyright.PENANAMloSejbf7p
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.
697Please respect copyright.PENANATWMaPlxDiy
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!”
697Please respect copyright.PENANAbzihL65x8M
Colbert: “Sir, I’m truly sorry but there is no way to reverse this.”
697Please respect copyright.PENANAijuMp9ZaGU
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.
697Please respect copyright.PENANAjjTggyDLk7
Raskeria: “There might be a way.”
697Please respect copyright.PENANAjsVACiMWEC
Everyone turned toward the girl. Jake’s eyes widened with relief but also slow-cooking anger.
697Please respect copyright.PENANAMVDBh1S2Ck
Jake: “Tell me.”
697Please respect copyright.PENANAwXh0xn0EAy
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.”
697Please respect copyright.PENANAXWiS73nHKu
Jake: “Then-”
697Please respect copyright.PENANAug97jTAtNI
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…”
697Please respect copyright.PENANADX5Z0w2zoX
Jake: “Or?”
697Please respect copyright.PENANAJkGiuEQrz5
Raskeria: “Learn magic and go yourself.”
697Please respect copyright.PENANAD1gjSgqenr
Colbert: “Learn magic?”
697Please respect copyright.PENANAItI7d0n8tS
Raskeria: “Yeah, it will be hard but it can be done.”
697Please respect copyright.PENANAxBCYfCkNXC
Jake: “…”
697Please respect copyright.PENANABGErmXObX8
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.
697Please respect copyright.PENANAyjdmamYhXi
But still, time is of the essence. He can’t be gone for long.
697Please respect copyright.PENANA44dHCNKeYt
Jake: “How long would it take for me to learn.”
697Please respect copyright.PENANABekhtJylV4
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.”
697Please respect copyright.PENANAE2X6C9TPNn
Jake: ‘Years!? No, I don’t have that kind of time. I’ll leave that as a backup.’
697Please respect copyright.PENANAdDecwLc3YA
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.”
697Please respect copyright.PENANAwocfF9n4Ay
Raskeria: “Sure, sure. Right now though, I’m tired. I’m going home and telling everyone what happened. See you. ‘gate’.”
697Please respect copyright.PENANA2kUMYGvUh2
A rip in reality appears behind Raskeria. She yawns and goes through which causes it to close.
697Please respect copyright.PENANAgdZnmbUsto
Jake: ‘Tch, she better make good on our deal. Or I have another person on my list to kill here.’
697Please respect copyright.PENANA7LOPTpbOvd
Jake: *Sigh*
697Please respect copyright.PENANAD0fgQ0mVEO
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.”
697Please respect copyright.PENANAiMJI28A7Ux
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.
697Please respect copyright.PENANAlAMqISwlJo
Colbert: “Well, you’re the last one. What will you do?”
697Please respect copyright.PENANAWUxoZtXaay
Dovahkiin: “Stay for now. Jake’s situation seemed more serious than mine so he can get the gate treatment first. Besides…”
697Please respect copyright.PENANAC8IsjjhoX3
Dovahkiin: ‘It’s not all Louise’s fault that I ended up here. Damn that dedric prince.’
697Please respect copyright.PENANAFlLG0eZEr6
Colbert: “Yes?”
697Please respect copyright.PENANAKsKZ6XwC6y
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.”
697Please respect copyright.PENANAq2mHEyfb3V
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.
697Please respect copyright.PENANA0uqnZmOY9C
Colbert: “Brimir save us, what has Louise unleashed…”
697Please respect copyright.PENANAAqWV5VPPQM
[Louise’s Room]
697Please respect copyright.PENANA50dKwPf0J1
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.
697Please respect copyright.PENANAl3ddckFzEJ
She gently takes her to the bed and lies her down.
697Please respect copyright.PENANAB6svZo2g8B
Aeterna: “Already, that power is drawing dangerous things to you.”
697Please respect copyright.PENANAeL4xJtQeXg
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.
697Please respect copyright.PENANAtG79xvQUZg
Aeterna: “Did she really expect me to sleep on that? I guess she was expecting an animal though.”
697Please respect copyright.PENANAvFc70d6jvr
She looks down at her body and remembers that she’s still wearing lingerie.
697Please respect copyright.PENANAGplk7Yyxlf
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.”
697Please respect copyright.PENANAQ0dmJ4Tuut
With that thought, Aeterna leaves the room.
697Please respect copyright.PENANAAWAGGF5SMz
…
…
697Please respect copyright.PENANAVVQDDcw8vB
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.
697Please respect copyright.PENANATjqJBMxc7s
‘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.’
697Please respect copyright.PENANAcqI85TiN6P
‘Hehe, I’m getting excited. Sweet dreams Louise.’
697Please respect copyright.PENANASubFB7lxrV
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.
697Please respect copyright.PENANAukc7u3W9Ua
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.
697Please respect copyright.PENANAzcW1kGX04N
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.
697Please respect copyright.PENANAyd0Y78lZWt
Among the clouds and across the forest, more rips threaten to form.
697Please respect copyright.PENANAOl3YPK6x8s
‘Let the games begin.’

697Please respect copyright.PENANAbMAdUJRrZ8
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.
697Please respect copyright.PENANA59xu1dSbAb
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.
697Please respect copyright.PENANAMeaxmkZ10P
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.
