Welcome, to my first fan fic. After years, I finally gave in and tried a few.
679Please respect copyright.PENANA0BAlkCctwd
Mostly crossovers.
679Please respect copyright.PENANA5EWnzVOvVy
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.
679Please respect copyright.PENANAT6rp3fAuCA
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.
679Please respect copyright.PENANAPrrQa0u7zA
They will be listed at the end of this one-shot.
679Please respect copyright.PENANAvRyMkHgFNZ
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.
679Please respect copyright.PENANAssWh3jhuNZ
This is version 1 after all. If I can perfect the foundation and people like it, then I can continue.
679Please respect copyright.PENANADQQMMuPb2g
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.
679Please respect copyright.PENANAw1pLq7kEg1
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.
679Please respect copyright.PENANATfs5yJScUs
With that out of the way, let’s dive into this slice of eternity in a moment.
679Please respect copyright.PENANAEjNpwuN01f
679Please respect copyright.PENANAV0s6IyEfyg
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.
679Please respect copyright.PENANAoxnFCHEj50
Aside from that though, they were also anxious. Anxious about what kind of familiar they would get.
679Please respect copyright.PENANA5zxYkcVu4i
A summoned familiar mirrors their master’s personality and elemental affinity. Who knows what hidden secrets their familiars may accidentally reveal to everyone?
679Please respect copyright.PENANAX65Qw5ZCKU
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.
679Please respect copyright.PENANA4jtyEPACs8
Yes, all of them have tried and succeeded in summoning a familiar.
679Please respect copyright.PENANAINiSbsTku6
Well, all but one.
679Please respect copyright.PENANAZLlhKJ5oXa
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.
679Please respect copyright.PENANANHazACVla2
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.
679Please respect copyright.PENANAe6yFzAx4B7
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.
679Please respect copyright.PENANAnFNiO1eDBl
Colbert: “All right then, has everyone had their turn?”
679Please respect copyright.PENANA7lYWWydR6E
But the one to fully shatter her hopes was her bully and rival, Kirche von Zerbst. The busty chocolate beauty.
679Please respect copyright.PENANAVhXjqkpRrX
Kirche: “No, not quite. Ms. Valliere hasn’t done it.”
679Please respect copyright.PENANAPdO0SFDBNP
Louise: ‘Brimir, darn you Kirche.’
679Please respect copyright.PENANAkMBDqssZVN
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.
679Please respect copyright.PENANA1WlovVoXhe
Maybe then, she’ll be respected and can finally deliver some good news to her family.
679Please respect copyright.PENANAUCRsvrsI4U
She goes to the summoning area and prepares to-
679Please respect copyright.PENANAtMx3LrimRY
“Louise the zero.”
679Please respect copyright.PENANAANoTynUa9J
“What do you suppose she’ll summon”
679Please respect copyright.PENANA9DswX9BZRY
“There’s no way she can summon anything. We’ll just have another explosion and nothing else.”
679Please respect copyright.PENANAxFjwiep2Wj
Kirche: “With all your boasting, you should be able to summon up something more amazing than this. Right, Louise?”
679Please respect copyright.PENANAPlJXrWV0Fa
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.
679Please respect copyright.PENANAt4X9CL1rPJ
Louise: “Well of course!”
679Please respect copyright.PENANADX3SOz1Qdq
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.
679Please respect copyright.PENANAfqzU1yQSxM
She didn’t know it then but, someone was listening to her prayers.
679Please respect copyright.PENANALCGwd8Nd1F
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!”
679Please respect copyright.PENANAY65nTPH7XH
“And so the die is cast.”
679Please respect copyright.PENANA8oKbh5dW1M
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.
679Please respect copyright.PENANAcYu9XSSGC1
…
…
679Please respect copyright.PENANAW85G6O3aUx
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.
679Please respect copyright.PENANAdTDzDyVxNV
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.
679Please respect copyright.PENANAyQItaNArsv
The students quickly collected themselves and began their favorite pass time.
679Please respect copyright.PENANA3YquK82eSe
“Hah, I knew it! Once a Zero always a Zero.”
679Please respect copyright.PENANAsIW7aocBs2
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.
679Please respect copyright.PENANAkHMbYSl7Cu
The one most scared was Slyphid, the medium-sized blue dragon summoned by the petite blue-haired Tabitha.
679Please respect copyright.PENANAUbb9QdzuP9
Tabitha: “What?”
679Please respect copyright.PENANAZ4PFbXP2p4
Her question brought Slyphid’s head around to look her in the eyes. With their intimate bond, Slyphid was able to respond telepathically.
679Please respect copyright.PENANAH4O7WndzTD
Slyphid: ‘I smell her! I’m Frightened! But…there’s…more than just her…a…Predator.’
679Please respect copyright.PENANAtqb6APDkfV
The panicked voice in her head startled Tabitha. For a rhyme dragon of all things to be frightened…
679Please respect copyright.PENANAXlB6b1qGHP
Tabitha: “What do you…mean?”
679Please respect copyright.PENANAntz2vVIIOA
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.
679Please respect copyright.PENANAQUGW74wTVN
Louise: ‘Wait!? Shadows?’
679Please respect copyright.PENANAXcyRozbcyo
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.
679Please respect copyright.PENANA2YUb9Mcunl
When the smoke cleared, something completely unexpected awaited everyone. Not only did Louise summon a human but she summoned multiple familiars.
679Please respect copyright.PENANAxs1FM9BR57
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.
679Please respect copyright.PENANAXfQ35ACWRy
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.
679Please respect copyright.PENANAHf7pZ2I5Kd
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.
679Please respect copyright.PENANAjPVoac2rmL
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.
679Please respect copyright.PENANAQoGpMAfn72
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.
679Please respect copyright.PENANAz7xak0e4vU
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.
679Please respect copyright.PENANAtmGhlh2IP6
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.
679Please respect copyright.PENANAvwzmGFGcvw
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.
679Please respect copyright.PENANAmxUGxtrOWw
As for Louise, she just couldn’t look away. Especially after what happened next.
679Please respect copyright.PENANA7KCRM5mtw4
“Kolo Zu’u, druv los tinvaak dovahzul?”
679Please respect copyright.PENANALtMQZC7YnH
…
…679Please respect copyright.PENANAhJ1QxNjSti
679Please respect copyright.PENANAHDyKxqaASn
Kirche: “Did that dragon just…speak?”
679Please respect copyright.PENANAicl8cDPptF
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.
679Please respect copyright.PENANAKQZTTLgT3O
After a few moments of conversation and looking around, they stopped and looked at Louise.
679Please respect copyright.PENANA48xEcJxOg8
“Okay, who summoned us?”
679Please respect copyright.PENANA8m8a5xTwE8
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.
679Please respect copyright.PENANAI1uVReIuQ4
Louise: “I-I did. My name is Louise Francoise Le Blanc de La Valliere.”679Please respect copyright.PENANARz2b7ndrU9
679Please respect copyright.PENANAG1q0oSFXaN
“Well hi Louise, my name is Raskreia or Rask for short. This dragon is named Dovahkiin, strange name I know.”
679Please respect copyright.PENANAFUzF7Ym9Pv
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.
679Please respect copyright.PENANAItufB061Mn
679Please respect copyright.PENANAKeiRdmy4qg
Raskreia: “Now, I have questions but first I think we should help the kid.”
679Please respect copyright.PENANAf4CIfzfJ8Q
679Please respect copyright.PENANAJrtlNGCZua
Colbert finally escaped his shock and agreed. He asks some students to carry the boy to the infirmary.
679Please respect copyright.PENANAZUfOGnxcAq
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.
679Please respect copyright.PENANAxL8XRR5Au2
Colbert: ‘Who knows what could’ve happened if we delayed any further.’
679Please respect copyright.PENANAyKGxu010xo
“Ugh, what, is with the racket.”
679Please respect copyright.PENANAIcyDW9ohoa
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.
679Please respect copyright.PENANAhfTUC7YJGu
“I slept in an inn in my underwear, and I wake up in a summoning circle in them. Ugh, what even?”
679Please respect copyright.PENANAjdZgyWEjkr
Raskreia: “Well, looks who’s awake.”
679Please respect copyright.PENANAaQXj2qTIGo
She sighs.679Please respect copyright.PENANAplXxPBo8il
679Please respect copyright.PENANASmEL4Zftyj
“And I am surrounded by children and a strange dragon.”
679Please respect copyright.PENANA6DGFqOQFY6
Colbert: “Since everyone is awake, not including the injured, we should proceed with the bonding ritual.”679Please respect copyright.PENANAR6oledm08r
679Please respect copyright.PENANAAAXNMk42oR
Raskreia: “Sure, if you’re going to explain to us what in the nine hells is going on here exactly and where we are?”679Please respect copyright.PENANAMQ7e6twY5p
679Please respect copyright.PENANADvAK1k8r4E
At this, Louise answers before the man could.679Please respect copyright.PENANA2oACUqmWEw
679Please respect copyright.PENANAYwXV4wF66T
Louise: “You’re here because I summoned you all to be my familiar with the summon servant spell, and I am your master now.”
679Please respect copyright.PENANAEZCGpd2SF0
Rask rolls her eyes while the other 2 had more animated responses.679Please respect copyright.PENANAszpOuW05XV
679Please respect copyright.PENANATDajlLbv3P
“Whoa, back the fuck up. Why should I be your familiar?”679Please respect copyright.PENANAKweH62dhAl
679Please respect copyright.PENANAnZr8chRFiF
Dovahkiin: “What do you mean by bonding?”679Please respect copyright.PENANAaYFyeBtY8m
679Please respect copyright.PENANAtZ9v8WUf1x
Everyone except Rask blinked. That was in Tristainian.679Please respect copyright.PENANAVi0m3YNlM4
679Please respect copyright.PENANAriQbVRABgk
Dovahkiin: “Oh, so now my voice returns.”
679Please respect copyright.PENANAhSgsR2uj42
Colbert: “You can speak our language?”
679Please respect copyright.PENANA6yJtkKWgqv
Dovahkiin: “I can speak this language, but before I was…confused and spoke in native Dovahzul.”
679Please respect copyright.PENANAwcJFHOYqKD
Raskreia: “Really? I guess I don’t need this anymore then.”
679Please respect copyright.PENANAmtpcww4qaM
Rask puts the ring back in her bag.
679Please respect copyright.PENANAma3xfFNOFd
Colbert: “Dovahzul, I haven’t heard of that language.”
679Please respect copyright.PENANAH3Tpsc1mjZ
“Neither have I, strange.”
679Please respect copyright.PENANAisJaQlF4y5
Dovahkiin: “Enough of this, what do you mean by bonding?”
679Please respect copyright.PENANAmqR0KgJnKQ
Despite the group before her, Louise bravely stepped forward again.
679Please respect copyright.PENANAcPkfqKxshm
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.”
679Please respect copyright.PENANA06oleMktDQ
The reactions from all summoned present varied but none good.679Please respect copyright.PENANADvqyATJowp
679Please respect copyright.PENANAHO4tiJeP3H
Raskreia: “I’m fine with getting summoned but getting branded like some animal, no thanks.”679Please respect copyright.PENANAkGo6QdITXa
679Please respect copyright.PENANAlo5CKEo1uP
Louise’s mood quickly deteriorates but there’s still hope she thought. She summoned more than one, surely one would agree.
679Please respect copyright.PENANAICbLVJE4kB
But that thought quickly faded away when the dragon growled. It drew itself up by stretching its wings down and glared at Louise.
679Please respect copyright.PENANASouF38jWZy
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?”
679Please respect copyright.PENANANY3FKfGaaP
Raskreia: ‘Oh no, they made the dragon mad. That’s never a good idea. No matter the plane.’
679Please respect copyright.PENANAak1dV74l6Q
Colbert stepped in as Louise faltered and took several steps back.
679Please respect copyright.PENANAwo7CxCBNuS
Colbert: “It’s how the holy ritual has been performed for hundreds of years.”
679Please respect copyright.PENANAfMFs5SwNOB
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.”
679Please respect copyright.PENANAgpuTFC3rgr
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.
679Please respect copyright.PENANAOg4y9BPAYf
Dovahkiin: “I for one refuse to become anyone’s slave. I simply want to return to the life I lived before this all occurred.”
679Please respect copyright.PENANAw8myHlHqsQ
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.”
679Please respect copyright.PENANAQpumov38pE
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.’679Please respect copyright.PENANAg75v66BayP
679Please respect copyright.PENANAPEs6ynqdaB
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.
679Please respect copyright.PENANAACd7PEP0CF
She grips her wand tightly, wishing this was all a dream. Unbeknownst to her, there was one that considered her offer.
679Please respect copyright.PENANAOPUchVV8LN
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.
679Please respect copyright.PENANAVURebkc1NF
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.
679Please respect copyright.PENANAFDnSYTYwEG
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.679Please respect copyright.PENANAz85JDHczBr
679Please respect copyright.PENANAB43haJmxGK
She knew intimately what happens in situations like that. Despite her previous obligations, the redhead made her choice.679Please respect copyright.PENANAr0i13jvKtd
679Please respect copyright.PENANAtRuTSbcYlz
“If a familiar is what you seek, then you shall have one. I agree to be yours.”
679Please respect copyright.PENANAfWSAiGAW6A
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.
679Please respect copyright.PENANAiZUc4d6PdM
Dovahkiin: “You!? You would subject yourself as a slave to a child? Where is your pride as a Dovah?”
679Please respect copyright.PENANAnVgzUE6f6H
“Dovah? I see, that's your word for it. So you can tell?”
679Please respect copyright.PENANAmdjKkZt87V
Dovahkiin: *Nod*
679Please respect copyright.PENANAaB8KpK67GM
“I have my own reasons.”
679Please respect copyright.PENANA2URF0KrK3d
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.
679Please respect copyright.PENANAClZe8dbLas
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?
679Please respect copyright.PENANAefig0mxj91
Raskreia: “Well I won’t judge you. It’s your choice.”
679Please respect copyright.PENANAE2H9ccwAdJ
Louise reapplies her rule of steel mask and starts towards the redhead. She let out an indignant, resigned huff as she raised her wand.
679Please respect copyright.PENANAlBSk7HIX64
Louise: “Consider yourself fortunate, commoner. Normally, you’d never in your life have a noble do this to you.”
679Please respect copyright.PENANAhfgOEJkqCw
Louise: “My name is Louise Francoise Le Blanc de La Valliere. Oh, pentagon that rules the five elements, bless this individual and-”
679Please respect copyright.PENANAJTa8pnS5Vm
679Please respect copyright.PENANAg3CVN3Jbm5
‘Did you think this was it?’
679Please respect copyright.PENANApyNGO7kwHY
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.
679Please respect copyright.PENANA8Q7McwOn8b
“Louise!?”
679Please respect copyright.PENANAEl5ceQPzN9
Everyone, including the dragon, looks at Louise with concern. Before anyone could go to her and see what’s wrong, something else extraordinary happens.
679Please respect copyright.PENANARJhRayh5UJ
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.
679Please respect copyright.PENANAtCKgnU7vQS
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.
679Please respect copyright.PENANAJ4Guc5Lf4j
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.
679Please respect copyright.PENANAvArGCGoLsr
Raskeria: “The hell was that?”
679Please respect copyright.PENANASZRod9mszy
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.
679Please respect copyright.PENANAntt2LqRiZt
Colbert: “A golem?”
679Please respect copyright.PENANALKbEZXo3qL
Dovahkiin: “No, something more.”
679Please respect copyright.PENANAMDbERSjncI
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.
679Please respect copyright.PENANAcgrbFEGWjb
Guiche: “Unhand me this instant!”
679Please respect copyright.PENANAOvsyo10jKz
It didn’t respond instead it brought its other arm up and balled it into a fist.
679Please respect copyright.PENANApaeBp7DL68
Guiche: “You would dare hit a noble!? I tell you, my father is a gener-”
679Please respect copyright.PENANAr916qxw14R
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.
679Please respect copyright.PENANAUdtU2mlhji
Colbert: “Mister Grammont!”
679Please respect copyright.PENANArgooQMrTJ8
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.
679Please respect copyright.PENANAnroefqljwd
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.
679Please respect copyright.PENANAx6N6gWvbie
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.
679Please respect copyright.PENANAaENE48Zw8d
Guiche: “L-Louise?”679Please respect copyright.PENANAbji0SMYygf
679Please respect copyright.PENANA14HZPlSH4e
Colbert: “But how?”
679Please respect copyright.PENANAo8GS0uATlL
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.
679Please respect copyright.PENANAZsPYKl8ERE
Raskeria: “Can this day get any crazier?”
679Please respect copyright.PENANAL0o2XXEfrP
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.
679Please respect copyright.PENANArpQMPFEtKI
Guiche: “How dare-”
679Please respect copyright.PENANAoOERzmfKhj
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.
679Please respect copyright.PENANAFrfbnh3qhk
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.
679Please respect copyright.PENANAN9oIRQZEEe
Regardless, Dova took the golem and threw it across the field away from the students.
679Please respect copyright.PENANAk0uIeFVaKS
While this was happening, the redhead took Louise to a safe distance. She could help but she wanted to keep Louise safe for now.
679Please respect copyright.PENANAwT3pSyK5vT
Raskeria: “That has to be among the strongest golems I’ve ever seen.”
679Please respect copyright.PENANAFKQLzJWmoB
Dovahkiin: “It’s like a Dwemer automation but more…advanced somehow.”
679Please respect copyright.PENANAg4Y7t2Dgeh
Louise?: “I don’t remember you two when I left. Who are you two?”

Raskeria: “Talk later, fight now!”
679Please respect copyright.PENANAbildB3T6bX
Dovahkiin: “YOL TOOR SHUL!”
679Please respect copyright.PENANAQDZoZRRvre
The dragon breathes intense heat at the golem while Raskeria casts a strange spell that also shoots bolts of fire.
679Please respect copyright.PENANA9LSRtpV5Kv
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.
679Please respect copyright.PENANAeBhjIH1Ypm
Raskeria: “Okay, that thing is too dangerous. Disintegrate.”
679Please respect copyright.PENANAWTIVXq1mU2
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.
679Please respect copyright.PENANAgKqUF1QN0j
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.
679Please respect copyright.PENANAxtqQlkrfPU
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.
679Please respect copyright.PENANAmzBCbTLYM8
This proved to be the right choice when the sound of lightning cracked from the cloud of dust.
679Please respect copyright.PENANAI6HhGgj74N
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.
679Please respect copyright.PENANA2mYtAOCKAI
Raskeria: “Another one!? To think, I was just hanging out with friends and now I have to fight for my life.”
679Please respect copyright.PENANAKSIH62qKnY
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.
679Please respect copyright.PENANAduaLpY4y5t
Eventually, the sound of clicking reached her ears. She disassembled her shield and placed her hands behind her with her palms open.
679Please respect copyright.PENANA9ZY7yGj96e
Louise 2: ‘Here’s my chanc-”
679Please respect copyright.PENANAOL1R6hrxtL
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.
679Please respect copyright.PENANAzGv6SrL448
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.
679Please respect copyright.PENANAyDXIGgnPjE
Raskeria: “Did Louise summon another one? I can’t deny it, that’s impressive.”
679Please respect copyright.PENANA0AM8GiOOwh
Louise 2: “Friend or foe?”
679Please respect copyright.PENANAVGbYyL97bH
Jake: “Depends on what happens next. The name’s Jake Logan Anderson, Jake will do.”
679Please respect copyright.PENANAjwhVXI658j
Dovahkiin: “FUS RO DAH”
679Please respect copyright.PENANAxypKPUfWBr
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.
679Please respect copyright.PENANAvioSmn8BLs
Dovahkiin: ‘I need to get used to this body and fast. I hope that was the last of them.’
679Please respect copyright.PENANAQNb9NxzMR5
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.
679Please respect copyright.PENANA3eXYOXX8dZ
Louise 2: “Mr. Colbert!”
679Please respect copyright.PENANAv3MUiUcG5v
This seemed to jog the man from his shock.
679Please respect copyright.PENANAKYOvGmP3ML
Colbert: “Um yes, what do you need Ms….you are Valliere right?”
679Please respect copyright.PENANA5Mjj6STiz9
Louise 2: “Yes. Evacuate everyone from this place right now.”
679Please respect copyright.PENANAiOWSLzd8Ox
Raskeria: “Why? Isn’t it over?”
679Please respect copyright.PENANAeT1o9E70Dx
Jake: “No, it’s never that easy.”
679Please respect copyright.PENANA6697r9o7Nz
Louise 2: “He’s right, this courtyard isn’t safe anymore.”
679Please respect copyright.PENANAfcaIYz9nIZ
The doppelganger looked at the strangers she fought with.
679Please respect copyright.PENANA7WBMayTb5X
Louise 2: “Can trust one of you to help Colbert protect everyone.”
679Please respect copyright.PENANAPFjRMNjuKu
Before any of them could answer, the red-head answered.
679Please respect copyright.PENANABeXQqK2YBE
“I’ll protect him along with…you I guess.”
679Please respect copyright.PENANAJadYP5OKkM
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.
679Please respect copyright.PENANAzQcabuomSO
Louise 2: “And who are you?”
679Please respect copyright.PENANAtzaptSyMOf
“My name is Aeterna Flamma, your familiar.”
679Please respect copyright.PENANAgtQz5vAEek
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.
679Please respect copyright.PENANAtnyHJiMhou
Dovahkiin: “Trust her, she is stronger than she looks.”
679Please respect copyright.PENANAsFdtMKOAMx
Louise: 2: “…Fine. I won’t argue with a dragon. Especially not now.”
679Please respect copyright.PENANA1wk0uMXgGV
Aeterna: “Good, come on everyone.”
679Please respect copyright.PENANAPFs0rAWpFQ
Colbert: “Y-You heard them, we can’t stay here any-”
679Please respect copyright.PENANA5Gu9VWI8BJ
Suddenly, the sound of something rattling made itself known throughout the courtyard. Louise 2 clicked her tongue.
679Please respect copyright.PENANAx4Be70y9C4
Louise 2: “Go, NOW!”
679Please respect copyright.PENANALy1AsHbTuF
They followed her order, many out of fear of the sight before them. The 3 golems slowly but surely collapsed into strange black sand.
679Please respect copyright.PENANA3KFVUpIOs5
Jake: “What the fuck?! Are these truly machines?”
679Please respect copyright.PENANA0cG8tPGRVU
Raskeria: “I’m starting to question that too.”
679Please respect copyright.PENANAnuqTSfhEn1
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.
679Please respect copyright.PENANATxsw9lNrpm
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.
679Please respect copyright.PENANANmoVXGWsUd
The arms were next. The left was a massive blade and the right was a massive claw hand.
679Please respect copyright.PENANARlGHuwVKvV
Finally, the head was bulky enough to discourage any beheading. But the most important part was the lines connecting to the chest area.
679Please respect copyright.PENANAMJ77PKZ7rC
Louise 2: ‘That’s its weak point.’
679Please respect copyright.PENANAoYvqHSQvrB
Its eyes finally light up and lock onto the fighters.
679Please respect copyright.PENANAC72HftfR6j
Louise 2: “Just my luck, a Ravager.”
679Please respect copyright.PENANAdIdWEfzobd
Raskeria: “A what?”
679Please respect copyright.PENANAHsSZ5JrFqE
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.
679Please respect copyright.PENANA4FDy9570qZ
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.
679Please respect copyright.PENANAnvxgdTc4zD
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.
679Please respect copyright.PENANAK85IiDdm4t
Louise 2: “Go!”
679Please respect copyright.PENANA6BR4yr8NlF
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.
679Please respect copyright.PENANARspI34W687
Raskeria aided the group with various spells, mostly fire and stuff like ‘Create Pit’.
679Please respect copyright.PENANANb7VSsbxUg
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.
679Please respect copyright.PENANAXHRT9Mn4ZS
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.
679Please respect copyright.PENANAo6lN3EBS9b
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.
679Please respect copyright.PENANAaa6rraZ5YW
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.
679Please respect copyright.PENANAaJSEQ9F6Iw
Raskeria: “Yeah, stay right there. Disintegrate.”
679Please respect copyright.PENANAkPO7NlNaIb
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.
679Please respect copyright.PENANA6iS6SXpDvE
Louise 2: “That won’t be enough! We need to destroy its core.”
679Please respect copyright.PENANAE8wSx2OHED
Jake: “Where is it then!?”
679Please respect copyright.PENANAIxkYe6Sh66
Louise 2: “It was in its chest but who knows where it will be when it reforms.”
679Please respect copyright.PENANADMUJjDhjhX
They look back at Rask and she couldn’t help but rub the back of her head.
679Please respect copyright.PENANASBLQBhNNCI
Raskeria: “My bad.”
679Please respect copyright.PENANAdRTFacrLSy
Jake: “Tch, it’s like fighting a machine version of me.”
679Please respect copyright.PENANAkchOt5aprF
Dovahkiin: “FO KRAH DIIN”
679Please respect copyright.PENANAMQEL92M359
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.
679Please respect copyright.PENANAhppGHVvzx7
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.
679Please respect copyright.PENANAT40wkqRZmX
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.”
679Please respect copyright.PENANA3sE8d5ijro
Raskeria: “What do you mean?”
679Please respect copyright.PENANA3omqsA1nyl
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.”
679Please respect copyright.PENANAMOh6PLP17n
Jake: “…Fine.”
679Please respect copyright.PENANA9CUvay3jMs
The other 2 nodded and got into position.
679Please respect copyright.PENANA00vxGx0P1S
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.
679Please respect copyright.PENANAqTbv4js6qV
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.
679Please respect copyright.PENANAGRNLKCqDPL
Louise 2: “You got to be kidding me.”679Please respect copyright.PENANALKb0QmdFr1
679Please respect copyright.PENANAOheq996wZi
The Ravager started firing at everything below. Raskeria created another shield around everyone to block the heavy bullet fire.
679Please respect copyright.PENANAZIt1tfn4Xl
Raskeria: “Dovahkiin, this is all you. I’ll focus on protecting everyone while you distract it enough to prevent it from firing.”
679Please respect copyright.PENANAA4omgtnOrl
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.
679Please respect copyright.PENANAWWwAW9mf3P
Despite Dovah’s best efforts though, Ravager wasn’t that bothered by it’s attacks. That was until Dovah started using more unique shouts.
679Please respect copyright.PENANAQOUPEzZsfB
Dovahkiin: “VEN GAAR NOS!”
679Please respect copyright.PENANAzXLEMnUTch
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.
679Please respect copyright.PENANA80IAFlNwm5
Louise 2: “Great, bring it down quick! I can see where the core is! Focus your attacks on its head!”
679Please respect copyright.PENANA5oD4gczcxW
Raskeria: “I still need to keep the shield on Dovahkiin so I can’t attack.”
679Please respect copyright.PENANAmsMxlWbZ7k
Louise 2: “That’s a good thing, just focus on support.”
679Please respect copyright.PENANA0GbXtB6FdZ
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.
679Please respect copyright.PENANAQhP8lkqBy8
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.
679Please respect copyright.PENANAd0mHduTyu4
Raskeria: “Was that…magic?”
679Please respect copyright.PENANAtkNpR3HoMG
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.”
679Please respect copyright.PENANAYikSK5UL9u
Dova shrugged it off but still lost some ground. Jake on the other hand was on fire and falling.
679Please respect copyright.PENANADDicUUtRT5
Jake: ‘Of course, it had to use fire and lightning of all things.’
679Please respect copyright.PENANAnq23NCcnLR
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.
679Please respect copyright.PENANAIvpv3OQosL
It abandoned the dragon and went to delete the living weapon. But before it could, another welcomed surprise appeared. The final and winning variable.
679Please respect copyright.PENANAiUVlsFG4xQ
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.
679Please respect copyright.PENANASQ5QaYL1KT
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.
679Please respect copyright.PENANADGgN7oMjAX
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.
679Please respect copyright.PENANAH8kowDW9Gb
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.
679Please respect copyright.PENANAyFvGd6F108
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.
679Please respect copyright.PENANAYtWrG4ZUvW
Louise 2: “I don’t know who you are but if you can understand me, keep it down while I end this.”
679Please respect copyright.PENANAj5tWmDBAwl
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.
679Please respect copyright.PENANAuUHY73rLef
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.
679Please respect copyright.PENANA5OvJrTp1qZ
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.’
679Please respect copyright.PENANAIoauvO3yyX
The distance between them became smaller.
679Please respect copyright.PENANARBvPGA52Jx
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.
679Please respect copyright.PENANAsg8sXBk1tv
20 meters
679Please respect copyright.PENANA6cIYyWjXuv
Arcs of pink electricity started to form around her.
679Please respect copyright.PENANARDHCI89FJu
15 meters
679Please respect copyright.PENANAgJsLyzntX8
She opened her eyes; her vision was surrounded by plenty of warnings but she dismissed them.
679Please respect copyright.PENANAn2We4EFErP
10 meters
679Please respect copyright.PENANAk5b4r2Mqv2
Louise 2: “Adapt to this!”
679Please respect copyright.PENANAsOsznkCbA7
5 meters
679Please respect copyright.PENANARryrUAmrqX
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.
679Please respect copyright.PENANA9ilWXonmPp
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.
679Please respect copyright.PENANAuszGOgD5Sa
The sonic boom made it into everyone’s ears. Students screamed and even the fighters had to cover their ears as the ground quaked.
679Please respect copyright.PENANALYSdM5WFEa
The fighters aside from Jake ran up to the aftermath of the attack. Colbert also came running despite Aeterna’s warning.
679Please respect copyright.PENANAqs5nFTMBK5
Good news, the Ravager now sported a missing head. Bad news, behind the Ravager was a badly damaged Louise 2.
679Please respect copyright.PENANAKRabtyiXiP
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.
679Please respect copyright.PENANAV7xjQ66c57
Raskeria: “Okay, that looks terrible. But I can fix this.”
679Please respect copyright.PENANAIZIVwzEdQN
She started to create ice to cool her down before applying healing magic. But before she could a voice stopped her.
679Please respect copyright.PENANA6MzEsXYI4Y
“STOP, YOU’RE GOING TO KILL HER!”
679Please respect copyright.PENANAKFvkG01JoJ
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.
679Please respect copyright.PENANAJQ2Ok9i4PO
Colbert: “Stop, any closer and we’ll consider you an enemy!”
679Please respect copyright.PENANAGY5GXhr5qR
Raskeria: “I vote enemy, where was he when everything was going wrong?”
679Please respect copyright.PENANAXQTjPjI6Ye
Louise 2: “B-Bench? I-Is that…y-you?”
679Please respect copyright.PENANAMUrZbi1ByP
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.
679Please respect copyright.PENANAti7K84Fjfg
Colbert: “Miss Valliere!”
679Please respect copyright.PENANA1d1OlewEvB
Louise 2: “Please…let Bench…come to me…professor.”
679Please respect copyright.PENANA5NC9N5mvNN
Raskeria: “But what about my magic? I can heal you good as new.”
679Please respect copyright.PENANAOOXU2U46g6
Louise 2: “Don’t…I…d-don’t know…what effect it…will h-have.”
679Please respect copyright.PENANA0pFgL7mViS
Bench: “Listen to her, I know what to do. Trust me, she’s in good hands.”
679Please respect copyright.PENANAIeKV0dObI2
Raskeria: “…Fine. This whole thing is beyond me anyway.”
679Please respect copyright.PENANAgHBKyMs4zW
Heeding his words, Raskeria and Colbert moved out of the way. Bench approached Louise 2 and a blue line scanned her entire being.
679Please respect copyright.PENANA63R18kfkN2
Bench: “You’ve really done it this time Louise.”
679Please respect copyright.PENANAvMVKpmDFQd
Louise 2: “Why does…it…matter…I destroyed…the Ravager.”
679Please respect copyright.PENANAMIgsyx1TdM
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.”
679Please respect copyright.PENANAwzra7XpHQq
Raskeria: ‘You mean what I was going to do?’
679Please respect copyright.PENANA1TpoHfAKN5
Louise 2: “Then would…this help?”
679Please respect copyright.PENANAvmUR2chrWv
She asks while letting go of a red orb that was giving a low hum.
679Please respect copyright.PENANARNhpgocKNX
Bench: “Is that what I think it is?”
679Please respect copyright.PENANAcMJvXWovTh
Louise 2: “Y-You bet…it is.”
679Please respect copyright.PENANAulhoFPaG53
A blue line passed over the orb from Bench.
679Please respect copyright.PENANAT4F1QZbhZ3
Bench: “I can’t believe it, a Ravager core.”
679Please respect copyright.PENANAgF8Emvn9bi
Raskeria: “You mean that’s what we were fighting to destroy? Why is it intact?”
679Please respect copyright.PENANAc2giRdwRNW
Bench: “Because this might be the only sure way to save Louise.”
679Please respect copyright.PENANAvYGDekKggn
Raskeria: “Magic is out but the core of that monster is okay?”
679Please respect copyright.PENANAaEKA9hNkQ5
Dovahkiin: “I agree, destroy it.”
679Please respect copyright.PENANAOFIGobsPNZ
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?”
679Please respect copyright.PENANAatqrOHCEaV
Raskeria: “No but I’m keeping my eye on you…and that.”
679Please respect copyright.PENANAzoAtL80ioh
Bench: “By all means.”
679Please respect copyright.PENANA1zgyKjcufj
Louise 2: “So…can you…d-do it Bench?”
679Please respect copyright.PENANAwdxsHJ1Zdf
Bench: “Do you know who you’re talking to?
679Please respect copyright.PENANAidXdZ9AkwB
Louise 2: “That’s…good.”
679Please respect copyright.PENANA23XXXdkbtD
Louise 2 finally succumbs to her wounds and passes out. Bench looks to Colbert and gives a stern order.
679Please respect copyright.PENANAphKD9gOqpb
Bench: “Take me to where your clinic is, I have a Hunter to repair!”
679Please respect copyright.PENANAB4WRrQmTQM
Jake: “Wait a minute!”
679Please respect copyright.PENANAzvavfTmgeZ
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.
679Please respect copyright.PENANArEwoLGScub
Bench: “What are you doing?!”
679Please respect copyright.PENANAITVXZ0iwSV
Jake: “Just because I helped defeat that thing doesn’t mean we’re allies. I need answers!”
679Please respect copyright.PENANAIcqFXMpafk
Raskeria: “Calm down Jake, do you really want to fight everyone here?”
679Please respect copyright.PENANAUobp3GjBy3
Jake: “…I’ll do what I have to.”
679Please respect copyright.PENANAwNU1Yf8oHv
Colbert: “W-What do you want to know?”
679Please respect copyright.PENANACyWGptA1Hh
Bench: “We don’t have time for this! Louise will die if Colbert doesn’t show me to the clinic.”
679Please respect copyright.PENANAvRf5mJKXqK
Jake: “I don’t care.”
679Please respect copyright.PENANAJbCLAu4WSa
Bench: “You-”
679Please respect copyright.PENANAvNEbldVPw8
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.
679Please respect copyright.PENANA1OxMCqoDO4
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.
679Please respect copyright.PENANAWr6oUPVexr
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.
679Please respect copyright.PENANAxOF7ATJabb
“Can you understand me?”
679Please respect copyright.PENANAWahArHdydq
Raskeria: ‘A translation spell? Oh, he’s good.’
679Please respect copyright.PENANAkg5mzp5jUI
Colbert: “Y-Yes.”
679Please respect copyright.PENANAp1anVWtOGv
“Wonderful, my name is Zander and I’ll take them to the clinic.”
679Please respect copyright.PENANAkmee7LGPbR
Colbert: “But how? You don’t know the way.”
679Please respect copyright.PENANAOiEJsUil4t
Zander: “I’ll ask one of the students or the staff. I’m sure they’ll help.”
679Please respect copyright.PENANAlywARhVjnU
With a slight twist of his wrist, Louise begins to float off the ground.
679Please respect copyright.PENANA9CjFKMCmah
Zander: “Shall we go Bench?”
679Please respect copyright.PENANAlZmvWEqWXb
Bench: “Yes, quickly now.”
679Please respect copyright.PENANAMCCIM2VYBc
They begin to leave but before that Zander gives a sharp glare to Jake.
679Please respect copyright.PENANA0yT2VzFMP0
Zander: “I hope I don’t have to come back here and deal with you Jake. I rather we be friends than enemies.”
679Please respect copyright.PENANAtYOGWx6t0T
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.
679Please respect copyright.PENANArr1w1rV94g
No one said a word until Zander was gone.
679Please respect copyright.PENANAfzkYV9Xidf
Colbert: “Okay, so what do you want to know Jake.”
679Please respect copyright.PENANAm0YC24EG8w
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…”
679Please respect copyright.PENANA3hb93daZPh
Jake brings his blade a bit closer to Colbert which makes everyone tense up, ready for another fight.
679Please respect copyright.PENANAviKDXhbp3r
Jake: “You will take me back to New York.”
679Please respect copyright.PENANAz5bAJftbWP
Colbert: “I’m sorry but…there’s no way back. None that we know of.”
679Please respect copyright.PENANAnwBSAjIEpg
The moment those words left his mouth, he felt the urge to slice off his head.
679Please respect copyright.PENANAsWFyRq5TGK
No way to get back to New York meant Blackwatch ran free and the only family he has left was in danger.
679Please respect copyright.PENANAPoo4lfrxDT
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.
679Please respect copyright.PENANAnxUFW0LlHW
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.
679Please respect copyright.PENANAyQll4pTQHf
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!”
679Please respect copyright.PENANA2UFUIhOhZM
Colbert: “Sir, I’m truly sorry but there is no way to reverse this.”
679Please respect copyright.PENANANi6OS1nBP9
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.
679Please respect copyright.PENANAa3ozVpZj33
Raskeria: “There might be a way.”
679Please respect copyright.PENANAWzwN6V1b7W
Everyone turned toward the girl. Jake’s eyes widened with relief but also slow-cooking anger.
679Please respect copyright.PENANAvLgt0bUgOe
Jake: “Tell me.”
679Please respect copyright.PENANAsBFqxuLiqh
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.”
679Please respect copyright.PENANAoYqablorCL
Jake: “Then-”
679Please respect copyright.PENANACeOjMMyRW9
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…”
679Please respect copyright.PENANAv3cCUzRik5
Jake: “Or?”
679Please respect copyright.PENANAloSMlSp6xq
Raskeria: “Learn magic and go yourself.”
679Please respect copyright.PENANAhpgh8JaQY6
Colbert: “Learn magic?”
679Please respect copyright.PENANADaU3WVUus0
Raskeria: “Yeah, it will be hard but it can be done.”
679Please respect copyright.PENANAhPEHSOOo1D
Jake: “…”
679Please respect copyright.PENANAuuqHY2ygf6
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.
679Please respect copyright.PENANAKoJv0KUYZq
But still, time is of the essence. He can’t be gone for long.
679Please respect copyright.PENANAnFnRD5fUPy
Jake: “How long would it take for me to learn.”
679Please respect copyright.PENANA44IVrGOylB
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.”
679Please respect copyright.PENANAWEzndoY4F5
Jake: ‘Years!? No, I don’t have that kind of time. I’ll leave that as a backup.’
679Please respect copyright.PENANAL8mu81IRLz
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.”
679Please respect copyright.PENANAm3fYibNsJD
Raskeria: “Sure, sure. Right now though, I’m tired. I’m going home and telling everyone what happened. See you. ‘gate’.”
679Please respect copyright.PENANADSMsAtTvgy
A rip in reality appears behind Raskeria. She yawns and goes through which causes it to close.
679Please respect copyright.PENANAz6LR0QCGsd
Jake: ‘Tch, she better make good on our deal. Or I have another person on my list to kill here.’
679Please respect copyright.PENANAOfVzA3dofY
Jake: *Sigh*
679Please respect copyright.PENANAtsvfWWPBd3
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.”
679Please respect copyright.PENANAN71m51bTiS
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.
679Please respect copyright.PENANAIq7HSw4uLR
Colbert: “Well, you’re the last one. What will you do?”
679Please respect copyright.PENANAyYjVD63MmX
Dovahkiin: “Stay for now. Jake’s situation seemed more serious than mine so he can get the gate treatment first. Besides…”
679Please respect copyright.PENANAV1QcfKHZka
Dovahkiin: ‘It’s not all Louise’s fault that I ended up here. Damn that dedric prince.’
679Please respect copyright.PENANAtt22VJ7fkD
Colbert: “Yes?”
679Please respect copyright.PENANA8WMgmoxUbi
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.”
679Please respect copyright.PENANAaLZzpTtk7d
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.
679Please respect copyright.PENANAmWF1dGp2oA
Colbert: “Brimir save us, what has Louise unleashed…”
679Please respect copyright.PENANAPOwVoT0cDf
[Louise’s Room]
679Please respect copyright.PENANAJq2pCo8UHH
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.
679Please respect copyright.PENANAE8Vzjir3V7
She gently takes her to the bed and lies her down.
679Please respect copyright.PENANA6XRZfSWphQ
Aeterna: “Already, that power is drawing dangerous things to you.”
679Please respect copyright.PENANABWg6cacV6N
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.
679Please respect copyright.PENANA9uXpne0Zro
Aeterna: “Did she really expect me to sleep on that? I guess she was expecting an animal though.”
679Please respect copyright.PENANAVWS80nMU4u
She looks down at her body and remembers that she’s still wearing lingerie.
679Please respect copyright.PENANALpgtH0pSUO
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.”
679Please respect copyright.PENANACHJYStqUbO
With that thought, Aeterna leaves the room.
679Please respect copyright.PENANAz9xlnLjEnu
…
…
679Please respect copyright.PENANApZZP5LKAcQ
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.
679Please respect copyright.PENANA4FSUOYp22V
‘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.’
679Please respect copyright.PENANAUH04gy7gwX
‘Hehe, I’m getting excited. Sweet dreams Louise.’
679Please respect copyright.PENANA8R7FyBWr8Y
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.
679Please respect copyright.PENANA9C4AvLVIFV
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.
679Please respect copyright.PENANAckr8yecncP
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.
679Please respect copyright.PENANAEctTAHM10l
Among the clouds and across the forest, more rips threaten to form.
679Please respect copyright.PENANAL9olKc7BGb

679Please respect copyright.PENANAQtawufMLcA
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.
679Please respect copyright.PENANA8vAKXf9bAk
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.
679Please respect copyright.PENANA2y1JjAv17N
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.
