Welcome, to my first fan fic. After years, I finally gave in and tried a few.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAi2DjU4xfZk
Mostly crossovers.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAkWGZi31e6Q
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAj7XFCHU9Pn
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANA9DkBFbfDam
They will be listed at the end of this one-shot.
284Please respect copyright.PENANALiaz763fJ4
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAFLHPVkEGVh
This is version 1 after all. If I can perfect the foundation and people like it, then I can continue.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAC86eE9Jnne
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAA0ahRMYdsD
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANA4O6299Z4xQ
With that out of the way, let’s dive into this slice of eternity in a moment.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAgne4CVcZGl
284Please respect copyright.PENANA6nMwuKsBbG
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAsh7TiQQgIM
Aside from that though, they were also anxious. Anxious about what kind of familiar they would get.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAiKsU6H9hRr
A summoned familiar mirrors their master’s personality and elemental affinity. Who knows what hidden secrets their familiars may accidentally reveal to everyone?
284Please respect copyright.PENANAgPFj2Mi87r
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAFRrFd7l6ep
Yes, all of them have tried and succeeded in summoning a familiar.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAMLTQPgHgFa
Well, all but one.
284Please respect copyright.PENANA07OgaFfsCH
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANALZnqQfse4f
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAukvZ7EWccB
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANA5JOosG4PHR
Colbert: “All right then, has everyone had their turn?”
284Please respect copyright.PENANASArx8EqFXe
But the one to fully shatter her hopes was her bully and rival, Kirche von Zerbst. The busty chocolate beauty.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAXKkwCsmyDK
Kirche: “No, not quite. Ms. Valliere hasn’t done it.”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAQpH5wlLL4k
Louise: ‘Brimir, darn you Kirche.’
284Please respect copyright.PENANA0gYjmVf4g0
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAyp5o2Tjo8Z
Maybe then, she’ll be respected and can finally deliver some good news to her family.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAJAZK6EtwVT
She goes to the summoning area and prepares to-
284Please respect copyright.PENANAkgt3j1H0pd
“Louise the zero.”
284Please respect copyright.PENANA0JDQbZpGtf
“What do you suppose she’ll summon”
284Please respect copyright.PENANA4NkIS8W6Z8
“There’s no way she can summon anything. We’ll just have another explosion and nothing else.”
284Please respect copyright.PENANApbmgMkoiiD
Kirche: “With all your boasting, you should be able to summon up something more amazing than this. Right, Louise?”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAOnquWMQJ8P
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAsPPQb3engq
Louise: “Well of course!”
284Please respect copyright.PENANA94GXXWdhcU
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAKsDnSYaDad
She didn’t know it then but, someone was listening to her prayers.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAb05zcgywDq
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!”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAMyrFBKsfSZ
“And so the die is cast.”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAok8mrrW8AL
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANA5iNI25brhC
…
…
284Please respect copyright.PENANAaopKoXtznJ
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAgm9EFLA5fd
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAo8hGWZxj0T
The students quickly collected themselves and began their favorite pass time.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAqCXImzpeZY
“Hah, I knew it! Once a Zero always a Zero.”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAkyBWVvN3IL
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANA1SuIgaHjVq
The one most scared was Slyphid, the medium-sized blue dragon summoned by the petite blue-haired Tabitha.
284Please respect copyright.PENANASAub1xyEmO
Tabitha: “What?”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAgLamHmaeUb
Her question brought Slyphid’s head around to look her in the eyes. With their intimate bond, Slyphid was able to respond telepathically.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAVciA2SruGn
Slyphid: ‘I smell her! I’m Frightened! But…there’s…more than just her…a…Predator.’
284Please respect copyright.PENANAxjnnv3aewt
The panicked voice in her head startled Tabitha. For a rhyme dragon of all things to be frightened…
284Please respect copyright.PENANATT5OXoWOil
Tabitha: “What do you…mean?”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAMpWPcwotkC
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANA0ybT4jNqNV
Louise: ‘Wait!? Shadows?’
284Please respect copyright.PENANAfyRtgivHyM
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAKUbvYt26oi
When the smoke cleared, something completely unexpected awaited everyone. Not only did Louise summon a human but she summoned multiple familiars.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAHtBmlQbOwf
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAoK1Lqm1caZ
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANA41sEH0sOws
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAOoneB3HBO0
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAtW4NEghsFZ
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAUnjK27axJs
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAgvtockdlU1
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAgNfLNhpIAe
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAdNjoO5V4Sl
As for Louise, she just couldn’t look away. Especially after what happened next.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAXU1TaDe4KT
“Kolo Zu’u, druv los tinvaak dovahzul?”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAchgkbIo0n4
…
…284Please respect copyright.PENANAADxpF6nsLh
284Please respect copyright.PENANATix7Eq2xqT
Kirche: “Did that dragon just…speak?”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAI8CQZDcVYn
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANA7MkD4xcCrT
After a few moments of conversation and looking around, they stopped and looked at Louise.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAgx5OudjUTw
“Okay, who summoned us?”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAVuJLysf0vB
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAfDKSCUHlFv
Louise: “I-I did. My name is Louise Francoise Le Blanc de La Valliere.”284Please respect copyright.PENANAoIcRsYfXtq
284Please respect copyright.PENANA6QRJhszHuJ
“Well hi Louise, my name is Raskreia or Rask for short. This dragon is named Dovahkiin, strange name I know.”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAbV8eSqGT0u
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANASW1QIt9itE
284Please respect copyright.PENANABQzakZbn2c
Raskreia: “Now, I have questions but first I think we should help the kid.”
284Please respect copyright.PENANATTIQ73KhdD
284Please respect copyright.PENANAROpj8uZEwS
Colbert finally escaped his shock and agreed. He asks some students to carry the boy to the infirmary.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAt4Mmh3LfT7
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAlHt1aOIrO8
Colbert: ‘Who knows what could’ve happened if we delayed any further.’
284Please respect copyright.PENANAKZhSJxLp63
“Ugh, what, is with the racket.”
284Please respect copyright.PENANA0qbT2b2jip
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANA4cnhA86dFF
“I slept in an inn in my underwear, and I wake up in a summoning circle in them. Ugh, what even?”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAnglEY2XmFP
Raskreia: “Well, looks who’s awake.”
284Please respect copyright.PENANA5fqoz4FihM
She sighs.284Please respect copyright.PENANAVbU3Vp8syB
284Please respect copyright.PENANAZfukRJl4hF
“And I am surrounded by children and a strange dragon.”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAGpLHcpTQ3b
Colbert: “Since everyone is awake, not including the injured, we should proceed with the bonding ritual.”284Please respect copyright.PENANAGszQAAzYDW
284Please respect copyright.PENANAmfo3kLJZEd
Raskreia: “Sure, if you’re going to explain to us what in the nine hells is going on here exactly and where we are?”284Please respect copyright.PENANAgwZxCdHgxX
284Please respect copyright.PENANAkw9x8vN5u4
At this, Louise answers before the man could.284Please respect copyright.PENANAzfbvmbkJ8R
284Please respect copyright.PENANATAND5jLNHI
Louise: “You’re here because I summoned you all to be my familiar with the summon servant spell, and I am your master now.”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAMOtRbqQRo4
Rask rolls her eyes while the other 2 had more animated responses.284Please respect copyright.PENANATryWyHtsx6
284Please respect copyright.PENANAas1boqhVf6
“Whoa, back the fuck up. Why should I be your familiar?”284Please respect copyright.PENANAEWqZ8nk4Ig
284Please respect copyright.PENANAdKD1g2lRA4
Dovahkiin: “What do you mean by bonding?”284Please respect copyright.PENANApfpY9EBm91
284Please respect copyright.PENANAKg30uSR8xY
Everyone except Rask blinked. That was in Tristainian.284Please respect copyright.PENANAUUdxsFcrRz
284Please respect copyright.PENANAQWlgXhwO6X
Dovahkiin: “Oh, so now my voice returns.”
284Please respect copyright.PENANABPyo9mYpwz
Colbert: “You can speak our language?”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAHv8XVRcZKY
Dovahkiin: “I can speak this language, but before I was…confused and spoke in native Dovahzul.”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAC9E8LJ4IKj
Raskreia: “Really? I guess I don’t need this anymore then.”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAH0JEhu1QHx
Rask puts the ring back in her bag.
284Please respect copyright.PENANASpMajxLKTM
Colbert: “Dovahzul, I haven’t heard of that language.”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAs1WeW3MB64
“Neither have I, strange.”
284Please respect copyright.PENANA41eBec630O
Dovahkiin: “Enough of this, what do you mean by bonding?”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAxwwmwFp4is
Despite the group before her, Louise bravely stepped forward again.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAYvX0390nF4
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.”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAeOTmqPCvj1
The reactions from all summoned present varied but none good.284Please respect copyright.PENANAoOcv9cZJPg
284Please respect copyright.PENANAj0TWbtF6LP
Raskreia: “I’m fine with getting summoned but getting branded like some animal, no thanks.”284Please respect copyright.PENANADAn0Fjom7a
284Please respect copyright.PENANAOaxRcPzgj9
Louise’s mood quickly deteriorates but there’s still hope she thought. She summoned more than one, surely one would agree.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAX0hohbrcbl
But that thought quickly faded away when the dragon growled. It drew itself up by stretching its wings down and glared at Louise.
284Please respect copyright.PENANApeP9kg6Duu
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?”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAQhghrJWSka
Raskreia: ‘Oh no, they made the dragon mad. That’s never a good idea. No matter the plane.’
284Please respect copyright.PENANAjTRGnO6pJf
Colbert stepped in as Louise faltered and took several steps back.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAZdbn3XeAwe
Colbert: “It’s how the holy ritual has been performed for hundreds of years.”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAGJiE2sqrhI
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.”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAC0gXfcG2VZ
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAyPA0RQWsLv
Dovahkiin: “I for one refuse to become anyone’s slave. I simply want to return to the life I lived before this all occurred.”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAddiMZJPrTz
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.”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAuiCTtgFAP6
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.’284Please respect copyright.PENANAooI5zRMmnH
284Please respect copyright.PENANAz1jPYsNtJS
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAvkeOEqanZ0
She grips her wand tightly, wishing this was all a dream. Unbeknownst to her, there was one that considered her offer.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAbAoGNa7dEH
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAXbAG4hhLoR
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAjyV7iUySUm
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.284Please respect copyright.PENANA0LBAP2O1xz
284Please respect copyright.PENANAiHc3Ewb7bR
She knew intimately what happens in situations like that. Despite her previous obligations, the redhead made her choice.284Please respect copyright.PENANAOEHgSmup76
284Please respect copyright.PENANA3LUnVvtJq2
“If a familiar is what you seek, then you shall have one. I agree to be yours.”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAHR7tWyymNA
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAV4uFd45Svl
Dovahkiin: “You!? You would subject yourself as a slave to a child? Where is your pride as a Dovah?”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAsxSKwlPxsF
“Dovah? I see, that's your word for it. So you can tell?”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAjHw3w8dsaf
Dovahkiin: *Nod*
284Please respect copyright.PENANAjsB4vwT4uT
“I have my own reasons.”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAJ28yiugvmh
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAS2q7r3L3y2
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?
284Please respect copyright.PENANAtNlP6x6vDQ
Raskreia: “Well I won’t judge you. It’s your choice.”
284Please respect copyright.PENANASrTVsfspsY
Louise reapplies her rule of steel mask and starts towards the redhead. She let out an indignant, resigned huff as she raised her wand.
284Please respect copyright.PENANANPHHYLK6ZP
Louise: “Consider yourself fortunate, commoner. Normally, you’d never in your life have a noble do this to you.”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAoHqKXwbtnb
Louise: “My name is Louise Francoise Le Blanc de La Valliere. Oh, pentagon that rules the five elements, bless this individual and-”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAw8YBX6eZWm
284Please respect copyright.PENANAJFmcvthUxJ
‘Did you think this was it?’
284Please respect copyright.PENANAJigXFP9tI0
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAXasTDAaWKx
“Louise!?”
284Please respect copyright.PENANADbX7MFIHEC
Everyone, including the dragon, looks at Louise with concern. Before anyone could go to her and see what’s wrong, something else extraordinary happens.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAOPzCshBwNx
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAPKHG8PYSUz
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANABTjFU7RXqp
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAjY2nUZ5V6t
Raskeria: “The hell was that?”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAUUsErBcPC4
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAZWU0YH97FM
Colbert: “A golem?”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAZ2BoLu6gdr
Dovahkiin: “No, something more.”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAjnLl2YayMe
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAtbaD6unvDg
Guiche: “Unhand me this instant!”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAcSzXV5382o
It didn’t respond instead it brought its other arm up and balled it into a fist.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAcUHF53bBhI
Guiche: “You would dare hit a noble!? I tell you, my father is a gener-”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAC7W2Afij07
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAahVjBeHGXD
Colbert: “Mister Grammont!”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAaIZIseMeOU
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANATL03VWDZ9A
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANA99Z4CI9mRH
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAqpwAZUdj2O
Guiche: “L-Louise?”284Please respect copyright.PENANAyFfLgOg4MG
284Please respect copyright.PENANAduw2UwgPUP
Colbert: “But how?”
284Please respect copyright.PENANATGlMY6OLXB
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAcrINaAccX5
Raskeria: “Can this day get any crazier?”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAdS0GFbT3UK
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANA2jFL71aPVJ
Guiche: “How dare-”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAnHsIOiuh9z
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAQZAD43Oeaq
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAaN7qdWAFZT
Regardless, Dova took the golem and threw it across the field away from the students.
284Please respect copyright.PENANApCHtg8KBZO
While this was happening, the redhead took Louise to a safe distance. She could help but she wanted to keep Louise safe for now.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAd1pJQJoA5Q
Raskeria: “That has to be among the strongest golems I’ve ever seen.”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAHmeMVtUl4u
Dovahkiin: “It’s like a Dwemer automation but more…advanced somehow.”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAFa2SpmmG4I
Louise?: “I don’t remember you two when I left. Who are you two?”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAFeGJYVjSos
Raskeria: “Talk later, fight now!”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAeJUfMBBKrR
Dovahkiin: “YOL TOOR SHUL!”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAsX5ApjHPZC
The dragon breathes intense heat at the golem while Raskeria casts a strange spell that also shoots bolts of fire.
284Please respect copyright.PENANABjXnlJXDp8
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANA1wxKMUlXc2
Raskeria: “Okay, that thing is too dangerous. Disintegrate.”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAg1JUBV8tQB
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANANGttvAhc3g
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAfiKgG4F7Xw
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANA5SHnTMtb7W
This proved to be the right choice when the sound of lightning cracked from the cloud of dust.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAGvMQ3pDbqg
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAbtXnzIp9IL
Raskeria: “Another one!? To think, I was just hanging out with friends and now I have to fight for my life.”
284Please respect copyright.PENANA3SVydjkdh1
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAMiJOxpM5uS
Eventually, the sound of clicking reached her ears. She disassembled her shield and placed her hands behind her with her palms open.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAnagahPUn8z
Louise 2: ‘Here’s my chanc-”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAc4D6r3h6z1
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAdCkyf1YXGd
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAjbUClBlc3P
Raskeria: “Did Louise summon another one? I can’t deny it, that’s impressive.”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAMH9xPFjYkN
Louise 2: “Friend or foe?”
284Please respect copyright.PENANA9882MmifQb
Jake: “Depends on what happens next. The name’s Jake Logan Anderson, Jake will do.”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAv8QrBJvwvw
Dovahkiin: “FUS RO DAH”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAMaNaCz20d1
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANApmfjzDua3d
Dovahkiin: ‘I need to get used to this body and fast. I hope that was the last of them.’
284Please respect copyright.PENANAlvP7F7BQJw
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAgvp5hjFMCO
Louise 2: “Mr. Colbert!”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAhKi9KV481z
This seemed to jog the man from his shock.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAhALV8WlRFn
Colbert: “Um yes, what do you need Ms….you are Valliere right?”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAlaCCGE3PZf
Louise 2: “Yes. Evacuate everyone from this place right now.”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAuRwOmL1HMd
Raskeria: “Why? Isn’t it over?”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAjGriT4sVTU
Jake: “No, it’s never that easy.”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAqDRcA2DERp
Louise 2: “He’s right, this courtyard isn’t safe anymore.”
284Please respect copyright.PENANA4KfUXp1Cxo
The doppelganger looked at the strangers she fought with.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAOCUrgw1Wao
Louise 2: “Can trust one of you to help Colbert protect everyone.”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAbVQmrmNnYq
Before any of them could answer, the red-head answered.
284Please respect copyright.PENANApnpTEMeZJC
“I’ll protect him along with…you I guess.”
284Please respect copyright.PENANA3dRvchYByC
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANACZkPzd57qt
Louise 2: “And who are you?”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAuH3tNFH28I
“My name is Aeterna Flamma, your familiar.”
284Please respect copyright.PENANA14TVyQAKv5
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANA1iCo5jZoiJ
Dovahkiin: “Trust her, she is stronger than she looks.”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAmCGdewLYj6
Louise: 2: “…Fine. I won’t argue with a dragon. Especially not now.”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAEJ16q3PGCG
Aeterna: “Good, come on everyone.”
284Please respect copyright.PENANANim8BQkhLb
Colbert: “Y-You heard them, we can’t stay here any-”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAKattcI90wr
Suddenly, the sound of something rattling made itself known throughout the courtyard. Louise 2 clicked her tongue.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAYFnmNcRr8L
Louise 2: “Go, NOW!”
284Please respect copyright.PENANATvy62w3lbD
They followed her order, many out of fear of the sight before them. The 3 golems slowly but surely collapsed into strange black sand.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAa2RyE4ajZe
Jake: “What the fuck?! Are these truly machines?”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAkJ9awyyRys
Raskeria: “I’m starting to question that too.”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAhIi6DP1smD
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAfVFIUIAgll
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAOJ42uKSnGT
The arms were next. The left was a massive blade and the right was a massive claw hand.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAo9BeRccs9d
Finally, the head was bulky enough to discourage any beheading. But the most important part was the lines connecting to the chest area.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAGoNFWdkK3L
Louise 2: ‘That’s its weak point.’
284Please respect copyright.PENANANIc93jBng4
Its eyes finally light up and lock onto the fighters.
284Please respect copyright.PENANASaLbcLB2O2
Louise 2: “Just my luck, a Ravager.”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAJotkekWisY
Raskeria: “A what?”
284Please respect copyright.PENANA4dPAPtXgCU
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAI23NPiW6sV
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAYbMVOx9THe
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAxWHyOi1CeX
Louise 2: “Go!”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAzQ68FGhg93
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANA4YYSb2oRQ9
Raskeria aided the group with various spells, mostly fire and stuff like ‘Create Pit’.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAI98WTmcqM0
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAIdwr49DtHg
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAOqedhOviFe
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANA0czGzs2bst
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAreAP4fUOif
Raskeria: “Yeah, stay right there. Disintegrate.”
284Please respect copyright.PENANApvtJ0m4ulP
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANATBRrD0zNOa
Louise 2: “That won’t be enough! We need to destroy its core.”
284Please respect copyright.PENANADlnUmbdFS4
Jake: “Where is it then!?”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAUZeZSbzufG
Louise 2: “It was in its chest but who knows where it will be when it reforms.”
284Please respect copyright.PENANARaFnQxdMQq
They look back at Rask and she couldn’t help but rub the back of her head.
284Please respect copyright.PENANA3LbVoVr1Al
Raskeria: “My bad.”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAWFJmfTWdwy
Jake: “Tch, it’s like fighting a machine version of me.”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAcACy8aQ1fb
Dovahkiin: “FO KRAH DIIN”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAaWsQbQuT4G
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAbW1QcRzfsN
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAntAFn2jvHj
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.”
284Please respect copyright.PENANA5xR2LfcIBv
Raskeria: “What do you mean?”
284Please respect copyright.PENANABIYAUlGf7k
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.”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAjZSjzHKlfP
Jake: “…Fine.”
284Please respect copyright.PENANACqd5bv4Xzs
The other 2 nodded and got into position.
284Please respect copyright.PENANA0fVqRUibO6
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAPuqkuNV87b
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAJ5b5Ue9C2Z
Louise 2: “You got to be kidding me.”284Please respect copyright.PENANApXKikGqL2C
284Please respect copyright.PENANA9YUWZE4S5c
The Ravager started firing at everything below. Raskeria created another shield around everyone to block the heavy bullet fire.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAJkHte0M2Sr
Raskeria: “Dovahkiin, this is all you. I’ll focus on protecting everyone while you distract it enough to prevent it from firing.”
284Please respect copyright.PENANA2ScmVKhnCP
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANArwtf6YMGnt
Despite Dovah’s best efforts though, Ravager wasn’t that bothered by it’s attacks. That was until Dovah started using more unique shouts.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAHDS4qqAMol
Dovahkiin: “VEN GAAR NOS!”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAGf5vHQLymz
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANA8Tvc2G0AHb
Louise 2: “Great, bring it down quick! I can see where the core is! Focus your attacks on its head!”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAPCxvlpe17x
Raskeria: “I still need to keep the shield on Dovahkiin so I can’t attack.”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAOXYqtIkD4V
Louise 2: “That’s a good thing, just focus on support.”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAQqaeOhAOIX
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAV8aMYCSeGX
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAxT5fT4mFIw
Raskeria: “Was that…magic?”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAu3WejqLgWK
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.”
284Please respect copyright.PENANARtYSb6uKOS
Dova shrugged it off but still lost some ground. Jake on the other hand was on fire and falling.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAAFcvzPFb2v
Jake: ‘Of course, it had to use fire and lightning of all things.’
284Please respect copyright.PENANABrKtwhPR4a
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANA5ckjVpFP0I
It abandoned the dragon and went to delete the living weapon. But before it could, another welcomed surprise appeared. The final and winning variable.
284Please respect copyright.PENANA7hnppjVMxy
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANApMomPaPQXK
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAtScof62nKT
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAx8WK28zrMa
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAlc7bFnpxNf
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANA2Gxl2oegQm
Louise 2: “I don’t know who you are but if you can understand me, keep it down while I end this.”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAVudc1V8w5V
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAyJYF6Bf1g4
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAHANaARB7dR
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.’
284Please respect copyright.PENANAq7drADD7z4
The distance between them became smaller.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAg1iRGmyGVn
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANA7k9BDdqQzr
20 meters
284Please respect copyright.PENANAab8nb331DV
Arcs of pink electricity started to form around her.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAQl2zngPhNY
15 meters
284Please respect copyright.PENANAsF9eKGH1Dd
She opened her eyes; her vision was surrounded by plenty of warnings but she dismissed them.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAX1KD7DnLe2
10 meters
284Please respect copyright.PENANA1vILxZKKJu
Louise 2: “Adapt to this!”
284Please respect copyright.PENANA3oCcxi2Q4F
5 meters
284Please respect copyright.PENANAflo8aOeunZ
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAILJX5FkNpv
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAelO1zeihGa
The sonic boom made it into everyone’s ears. Students screamed and even the fighters had to cover their ears as the ground quaked.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAdcb6rzN9zj
The fighters aside from Jake ran up to the aftermath of the attack. Colbert also came running despite Aeterna’s warning.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAfACTRkLpeg
Good news, the Ravager now sported a missing head. Bad news, behind the Ravager was a badly damaged Louise 2.
284Please respect copyright.PENANA8ztIRFCe6z
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANApUhlG7TUHy
Raskeria: “Okay, that looks terrible. But I can fix this.”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAjQWUzrIW5d
She started to create ice to cool her down before applying healing magic. But before she could a voice stopped her.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAx019tC1iJh
“STOP, YOU’RE GOING TO KILL HER!”
284Please respect copyright.PENANACRVBN4pubN
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANA3Emj9X0FtM
Colbert: “Stop, any closer and we’ll consider you an enemy!”
284Please respect copyright.PENANARM5tCVKBFR
Raskeria: “I vote enemy, where was he when everything was going wrong?”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAremObkcriG
Louise 2: “B-Bench? I-Is that…y-you?”
284Please respect copyright.PENANACU58IKWpCV
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAROfjHwvwBI
Colbert: “Miss Valliere!”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAYKJDC1fsHo
Louise 2: “Please…let Bench…come to me…professor.”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAoj8EbdZNFF
Raskeria: “But what about my magic? I can heal you good as new.”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAt9ic93jM5g
Louise 2: “Don’t…I…d-don’t know…what effect it…will h-have.”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAblTAl3NopM
Bench: “Listen to her, I know what to do. Trust me, she’s in good hands.”
284Please respect copyright.PENANACVRWavujP2
Raskeria: “…Fine. This whole thing is beyond me anyway.”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAX7NsLgEfTD
Heeding his words, Raskeria and Colbert moved out of the way. Bench approached Louise 2 and a blue line scanned her entire being.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAFRziLaFxdI
Bench: “You’ve really done it this time Louise.”
284Please respect copyright.PENANATb2BmlK1dU
Louise 2: “Why does…it…matter…I destroyed…the Ravager.”
284Please respect copyright.PENANADHZIQQVTVk
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.”
284Please respect copyright.PENANA9AC3hvc5QS
Raskeria: ‘You mean what I was going to do?’
284Please respect copyright.PENANADJNxiBEJQG
Louise 2: “Then would…this help?”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAlZH5UcaIZu
She asks while letting go of a red orb that was giving a low hum.
284Please respect copyright.PENANA3BM4DbkSuM
Bench: “Is that what I think it is?”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAKTdPXYIS8V
Louise 2: “Y-You bet…it is.”
284Please respect copyright.PENANA4AIWR8ANzR
A blue line passed over the orb from Bench.
284Please respect copyright.PENANALIKKUXJ5DW
Bench: “I can’t believe it, a Ravager core.”
284Please respect copyright.PENANArwjGCFYXOg
Raskeria: “You mean that’s what we were fighting to destroy? Why is it intact?”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAvzigdJf2m4
Bench: “Because this might be the only sure way to save Louise.”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAuhWexAK4ds
Raskeria: “Magic is out but the core of that monster is okay?”
284Please respect copyright.PENANACE9jqnzWGZ
Dovahkiin: “I agree, destroy it.”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAXyWZ4KgQwL
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?”
284Please respect copyright.PENANARgwW8XdZe6
Raskeria: “No but I’m keeping my eye on you…and that.”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAscs5louWYV
Bench: “By all means.”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAcrUSX56n17
Louise 2: “So…can you…d-do it Bench?”
284Please respect copyright.PENANA3HpyQibgib
Bench: “Do you know who you’re talking to?
284Please respect copyright.PENANAkJBI2TeaUP
Louise 2: “That’s…good.”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAMaMm1ddakJ
Louise 2 finally succumbs to her wounds and passes out. Bench looks to Colbert and gives a stern order.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAubfAvm6Iid
Bench: “Take me to where your clinic is, I have a Hunter to repair!”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAktQl1epjXf
Jake: “Wait a minute!”
284Please respect copyright.PENANACJdH4KDfse
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANA9YwWdMjJ8D
Bench: “What are you doing?!”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAgJDJ0us0IF
Jake: “Just because I helped defeat that thing doesn’t mean we’re allies. I need answers!”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAbdzcHtPvJc
Raskeria: “Calm down Jake, do you really want to fight everyone here?”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAJXHHxvdaSc
Jake: “…I’ll do what I have to.”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAlJ8mB7fKof
Colbert: “W-What do you want to know?”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAN8Diqjit8H
Bench: “We don’t have time for this! Louise will die if Colbert doesn’t show me to the clinic.”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAAFomUDLarL
Jake: “I don’t care.”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAyMdQa1v1KS
Bench: “You-”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAq9M3Cxygqh
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAtfXR2IalbA
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAJH2Z5GxVi3
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAgkUlhYQK7Y
“Can you understand me?”
284Please respect copyright.PENANA5fgHf5Q5C0
Raskeria: ‘A translation spell? Oh, he’s good.’
284Please respect copyright.PENANAa7X5PwhjEG
Colbert: “Y-Yes.”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAdk0qegToXD
“Wonderful, my name is Zander and I’ll take them to the clinic.”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAsKrOpuTbym
Colbert: “But how? You don’t know the way.”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAkeERPp3gGo
Zander: “I’ll ask one of the students or the staff. I’m sure they’ll help.”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAcUPFzBZp2W
With a slight twist of his wrist, Louise begins to float off the ground.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAD8zHMeBF1S
Zander: “Shall we go Bench?”
284Please respect copyright.PENANA1BDhiZG0OS
Bench: “Yes, quickly now.”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAGJCt189Jfl
They begin to leave but before that Zander gives a sharp glare to Jake.

Zander: “I hope I don’t have to come back here and deal with you Jake. I rather we be friends than enemies.”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAerivijQWQB
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANATiZ84WICtw
No one said a word until Zander was gone.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAS3UKGeQyzD
Colbert: “Okay, so what do you want to know Jake.”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAK5aSFag3f1
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…”
284Please respect copyright.PENANALCi9Kven2o
Jake brings his blade a bit closer to Colbert which makes everyone tense up, ready for another fight.
284Please respect copyright.PENANArCsvocWbOn
Jake: “You will take me back to New York.”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAIkSWmEk5BI
Colbert: “I’m sorry but…there’s no way back. None that we know of.”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAfMMMVLfpfh
The moment those words left his mouth, he felt the urge to slice off his head.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAsfyDiwNguf
No way to get back to New York meant Blackwatch ran free and the only family he has left was in danger.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAtlkhfvLeLy
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAqCINg7Jbcu
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAN5xRMI87E0
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!”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAjVulzgncLq
Colbert: “Sir, I’m truly sorry but there is no way to reverse this.”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAwBMUVV1FjL
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAGJDFmWbak0
Raskeria: “There might be a way.”
284Please respect copyright.PENANADwke5IGb4P
Everyone turned toward the girl. Jake’s eyes widened with relief but also slow-cooking anger.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAma6M0GUaht
Jake: “Tell me.”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAR6LAkPyFs2
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.”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAmBNlIhHvPg
Jake: “Then-”
284Please respect copyright.PENANASucxEGc5v9
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…”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAOr5YvcPvIU
Jake: “Or?”
284Please respect copyright.PENANA8PLyRMdDZA
Raskeria: “Learn magic and go yourself.”
284Please respect copyright.PENANA2ChzSHD05E
Colbert: “Learn magic?”
284Please respect copyright.PENANA2dOI3MNUDn
Raskeria: “Yeah, it will be hard but it can be done.”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAjCUSExx3Q8
Jake: “…”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAkhpfuzbMst
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANA2mOWIg5W1J
But still, time is of the essence. He can’t be gone for long.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAcbfFo8ouwh
Jake: “How long would it take for me to learn.”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAKHQOdln484
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.”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAfXpYEfxTTG
Jake: ‘Years!? No, I don’t have that kind of time. I’ll leave that as a backup.’
284Please respect copyright.PENANAhWny4lIFwH
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.”
284Please respect copyright.PENANACbjTnYbdgz
Raskeria: “Sure, sure. Right now though, I’m tired. I’m going home and telling everyone what happened. See you. ‘gate’.”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAldK2oj902p
A rip in reality appears behind Raskeria. She yawns and goes through which causes it to close.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAgZcWoc1g7w
Jake: ‘Tch, she better make good on our deal. Or I have another person on my list to kill here.’
284Please respect copyright.PENANAiKCXyPaK4v
Jake: *Sigh*
284Please respect copyright.PENANA6OoptdPo1F
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.”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAqJoIA7sSeK
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAWs6PeyqF6e
Colbert: “Well, you’re the last one. What will you do?”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAH9o8l8mtZc
Dovahkiin: “Stay for now. Jake’s situation seemed more serious than mine so he can get the gate treatment first. Besides…”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAOkBQ0owQpq
Dovahkiin: ‘It’s not all Louise’s fault that I ended up here. Damn that dedric prince.’
284Please respect copyright.PENANAH7AEgmbK2N
Colbert: “Yes?”
284Please respect copyright.PENANADxybbcHelJ
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.”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAltQJ4QFLFR
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAGK1vHePY0f
Colbert: “Brimir save us, what has Louise unleashed…”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAHOets1ec5s
[Louise’s Room]
284Please respect copyright.PENANA8skKAQc7Eo
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANADWS98dEoC9
She gently takes her to the bed and lies her down.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAS51ZHBA2ic
Aeterna: “Already, that power is drawing dangerous things to you.”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAUATjBVOUtL
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANA5NUKw4JnTQ
Aeterna: “Did she really expect me to sleep on that? I guess she was expecting an animal though.”
284Please respect copyright.PENANAcpU6BxIxyp
She looks down at her body and remembers that she’s still wearing lingerie.
284Please respect copyright.PENANA4waZNRDpuM
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.”
284Please respect copyright.PENANARdReyq7KWy
With that thought, Aeterna leaves the room.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAknPBGfRmut
…
…
284Please respect copyright.PENANA4mOIWCjZ4r
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANALx3ar8cSQY
‘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.’
284Please respect copyright.PENANARGdI0PxxqY
‘Hehe, I’m getting excited. Sweet dreams Louise.’
284Please respect copyright.PENANAkVuukBKUwC
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANABYa5mnChpB
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAiyXxK3Ln1K
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANArjdGvNOl9m
Among the clouds and across the forest, more rips threaten to form.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAgeKSZ2CoA3
‘Let the games begin.’

284Please respect copyright.PENANAu9JkzLoZbm
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAGrxCBrxE7H
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAk9bVVzsxNL
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.
