Welcome, to my first fan fic. After years, I finally gave in and tried a few.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAgV6QeQjiB8
Mostly crossovers.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAaifkxhUgsh
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.
277Please respect copyright.PENANA7WSEYbNJjl
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.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAJx8KiWNEr7
They will be listed at the end of this one-shot.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAvPKHtum6DP
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.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAvts8v8YMF5
This is version 1 after all. If I can perfect the foundation and people like it, then I can continue.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAoSsTuKrot6
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.
277Please respect copyright.PENANA6opV39E1Zq
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.
277Please respect copyright.PENANARtkrXqZ5qr
With that out of the way, let’s dive into this slice of eternity in a moment.
277Please respect copyright.PENANARvrIVyW08q
277Please respect copyright.PENANA6Qzc4pT9Bp
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.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAH5UbFsJ5oc
Aside from that though, they were also anxious. Anxious about what kind of familiar they would get.
277Please respect copyright.PENANABo30yYmRQn
A summoned familiar mirrors their master’s personality and elemental affinity. Who knows what hidden secrets their familiars may accidentally reveal to everyone?
277Please respect copyright.PENANAWtd6Wncbcu
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.
277Please respect copyright.PENANA9vCVoNI8Nl
Yes, all of them have tried and succeeded in summoning a familiar.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAYQxRHVyTwh
Well, all but one.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAx3b2aaKigR
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.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAknJ4gNxaV3
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.
277Please respect copyright.PENANA5DRJ63Idrg
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.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAnGFsNaAS8p
Colbert: “All right then, has everyone had their turn?”
277Please respect copyright.PENANArg2QmK1KL1
But the one to fully shatter her hopes was her bully and rival, Kirche von Zerbst. The busty chocolate beauty.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAKcCMOxa6Kk
Kirche: “No, not quite. Ms. Valliere hasn’t done it.”
277Please respect copyright.PENANAVqFTicyLzp
Louise: ‘Brimir, darn you Kirche.’
277Please respect copyright.PENANAa7eFCIjUea
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.
277Please respect copyright.PENANADmA46YoJ2c
Maybe then, she’ll be respected and can finally deliver some good news to her family.
277Please respect copyright.PENANABeBYg5YHbB
She goes to the summoning area and prepares to-
277Please respect copyright.PENANAl4NU1a5sPt
“Louise the zero.”
277Please respect copyright.PENANAoVCeKUOuSO
“What do you suppose she’ll summon”
277Please respect copyright.PENANAIo7GBoPrxt
“There’s no way she can summon anything. We’ll just have another explosion and nothing else.”
277Please respect copyright.PENANAXhxpg4hzBB
Kirche: “With all your boasting, you should be able to summon up something more amazing than this. Right, Louise?”
277Please respect copyright.PENANAVw5o3LZiYn
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.
277Please respect copyright.PENANABi4sKpmhRJ
Louise: “Well of course!”
277Please respect copyright.PENANAbO3EpBKofm
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.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAInXJPy9m31
She didn’t know it then but, someone was listening to her prayers.
277Please respect copyright.PENANACy1uNceJ20
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!”
277Please respect copyright.PENANAIF9D0WFgxm
“And so the die is cast.”
277Please respect copyright.PENANApeeidlboVq
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.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAvFwFmw2rwy
…
…
277Please respect copyright.PENANAZuMI7zzRSO
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.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAoseyOYVyOy
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.
277Please respect copyright.PENANATs0DXsGeZL
The students quickly collected themselves and began their favorite pass time.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAsNVdGe2CKf
“Hah, I knew it! Once a Zero always a Zero.”
277Please respect copyright.PENANAC7Ddp9qpmi
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.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAjIj239yFga
The one most scared was Slyphid, the medium-sized blue dragon summoned by the petite blue-haired Tabitha.
277Please respect copyright.PENANALTshUP6XOR
Tabitha: “What?”
277Please respect copyright.PENANAlJ8vQbi9aD
Her question brought Slyphid’s head around to look her in the eyes. With their intimate bond, Slyphid was able to respond telepathically.
277Please respect copyright.PENANANjnMrTe0CJ
Slyphid: ‘I smell her! I’m Frightened! But…there’s…more than just her…a…Predator.’
277Please respect copyright.PENANAJXQ2vOCmLB
The panicked voice in her head startled Tabitha. For a rhyme dragon of all things to be frightened…
277Please respect copyright.PENANACfnL4dsUcQ
Tabitha: “What do you…mean?”
277Please respect copyright.PENANARmDyKZ6kkn
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.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAbyj7vnD7qp
Louise: ‘Wait!? Shadows?’
277Please respect copyright.PENANAGif4jqb1sf
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.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAU648mlKrLy
When the smoke cleared, something completely unexpected awaited everyone. Not only did Louise summon a human but she summoned multiple familiars.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAz1SauChywI
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.
277Please respect copyright.PENANATkJY609jUw
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.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAycBXEIuqvZ
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.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAYZLtRgQYFJ
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.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAT7wDEUVGoa
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.
277Please respect copyright.PENANA1nO86mjiq9
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.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAok1xBdRaLI
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.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAI0dbchjkXa
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.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAhKBNWvgnl1
As for Louise, she just couldn’t look away. Especially after what happened next.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAnn3QqWOhE9
“Kolo Zu’u, druv los tinvaak dovahzul?”
277Please respect copyright.PENANAXjZz26T2Ks
…
…277Please respect copyright.PENANAG7byb9qsEg
277Please respect copyright.PENANAgOt2w8x3yW
Kirche: “Did that dragon just…speak?”
277Please respect copyright.PENANACTM08mEJKv
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.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAAIZtS7cyl5
After a few moments of conversation and looking around, they stopped and looked at Louise.
277Please respect copyright.PENANA5AWj1IfJtL
“Okay, who summoned us?”
277Please respect copyright.PENANA7DVD4eeZ2G
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.
277Please respect copyright.PENANA05HCjDhwJQ
Louise: “I-I did. My name is Louise Francoise Le Blanc de La Valliere.”277Please respect copyright.PENANANO01pvxwyZ
277Please respect copyright.PENANAvE9LHwvgTw
“Well hi Louise, my name is Raskreia or Rask for short. This dragon is named Dovahkiin, strange name I know.”
277Please respect copyright.PENANA8FiP5dHj6r
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.
277Please respect copyright.PENANA91N8ao9sUc
277Please respect copyright.PENANAvHbCV9vKpm
Raskreia: “Now, I have questions but first I think we should help the kid.”
277Please respect copyright.PENANAmuNbCqx9IO
277Please respect copyright.PENANA9fhp3P8Ivk
Colbert finally escaped his shock and agreed. He asks some students to carry the boy to the infirmary.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAld05c0NRCM
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.
277Please respect copyright.PENANA1eCyiFtW1M
Colbert: ‘Who knows what could’ve happened if we delayed any further.’
277Please respect copyright.PENANAKctL9SFTrm
“Ugh, what, is with the racket.”
277Please respect copyright.PENANA6BrpQ4Y6Ch
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.
277Please respect copyright.PENANA4eEWnjnS2L
“I slept in an inn in my underwear, and I wake up in a summoning circle in them. Ugh, what even?”
277Please respect copyright.PENANA2Rr8zqMaKA
Raskreia: “Well, looks who’s awake.”
277Please respect copyright.PENANAe9O7aLUbZi
She sighs.277Please respect copyright.PENANAXyDxDUAG1Q
277Please respect copyright.PENANAks1XhkggQy
“And I am surrounded by children and a strange dragon.”
277Please respect copyright.PENANAQWe8XmEtoC
Colbert: “Since everyone is awake, not including the injured, we should proceed with the bonding ritual.”277Please respect copyright.PENANAhpclyh5TEN
277Please respect copyright.PENANAJk9WRJNZCA
Raskreia: “Sure, if you’re going to explain to us what in the nine hells is going on here exactly and where we are?”277Please respect copyright.PENANAPLACbiZ1lp
277Please respect copyright.PENANAGDFjEk5tGL
At this, Louise answers before the man could.277Please respect copyright.PENANASKXkttd6ds
277Please respect copyright.PENANANLWt9HgQN3
Louise: “You’re here because I summoned you all to be my familiar with the summon servant spell, and I am your master now.”
277Please respect copyright.PENANAbvABx6MUOk
Rask rolls her eyes while the other 2 had more animated responses.277Please respect copyright.PENANABD0Zwr8xJj
277Please respect copyright.PENANAOywM7n76mv
“Whoa, back the fuck up. Why should I be your familiar?”277Please respect copyright.PENANAiqV5Q9pDQo
277Please respect copyright.PENANAdjUYX17zni
Dovahkiin: “What do you mean by bonding?”277Please respect copyright.PENANAZWReNdPZw0
277Please respect copyright.PENANAOKjHhik68L
Everyone except Rask blinked. That was in Tristainian.277Please respect copyright.PENANAqnEWv6tdL9
277Please respect copyright.PENANA097KlWCtP9
Dovahkiin: “Oh, so now my voice returns.”
277Please respect copyright.PENANA8iAV55WDLc
Colbert: “You can speak our language?”
277Please respect copyright.PENANA8fulzq3GDl
Dovahkiin: “I can speak this language, but before I was…confused and spoke in native Dovahzul.”
277Please respect copyright.PENANA1e3rFGKXuj
Raskreia: “Really? I guess I don’t need this anymore then.”
277Please respect copyright.PENANAIPxCJtlshU
Rask puts the ring back in her bag.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAaOeuvr2h02
Colbert: “Dovahzul, I haven’t heard of that language.”
277Please respect copyright.PENANAFuEneGliyy
“Neither have I, strange.”
277Please respect copyright.PENANAkRznCoMFG7
Dovahkiin: “Enough of this, what do you mean by bonding?”
277Please respect copyright.PENANA390x42h6o4
Despite the group before her, Louise bravely stepped forward again.
277Please respect copyright.PENANA73kqLMje59
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.”
277Please respect copyright.PENANAUdHXWHsYJg
The reactions from all summoned present varied but none good.277Please respect copyright.PENANAsNIPXBabLc
277Please respect copyright.PENANAzSIg5qhjs1
Raskreia: “I’m fine with getting summoned but getting branded like some animal, no thanks.”277Please respect copyright.PENANAf56R3iWEU6
277Please respect copyright.PENANAbP4iEhF8Oo
Louise’s mood quickly deteriorates but there’s still hope she thought. She summoned more than one, surely one would agree.
277Please respect copyright.PENANA6atRfWvoXy
But that thought quickly faded away when the dragon growled. It drew itself up by stretching its wings down and glared at Louise.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAHhVR279r6G
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?”
277Please respect copyright.PENANAFopuJoMXzS
Raskreia: ‘Oh no, they made the dragon mad. That’s never a good idea. No matter the plane.’
277Please respect copyright.PENANA2rZf1Thi5B
Colbert stepped in as Louise faltered and took several steps back.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAlJBg3uyBIw
Colbert: “It’s how the holy ritual has been performed for hundreds of years.”
277Please respect copyright.PENANAwWNbBewN5P
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.”
277Please respect copyright.PENANAWYgkFIp4wX
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.
277Please respect copyright.PENANA12pdwtYO5H
Dovahkiin: “I for one refuse to become anyone’s slave. I simply want to return to the life I lived before this all occurred.”
277Please respect copyright.PENANAhOJzRj4fUJ
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.”
277Please respect copyright.PENANAAXmukgu2O7
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.’277Please respect copyright.PENANAPZLRkWSesB
277Please respect copyright.PENANAYvleLovOn6
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.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAxFAJdvEUL7
She grips her wand tightly, wishing this was all a dream. Unbeknownst to her, there was one that considered her offer.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAsYCPQuY3cA
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.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAs5I0milZzT
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.
277Please respect copyright.PENANASiOEVSxXEl
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.277Please respect copyright.PENANAOjhPtlvTaw
277Please respect copyright.PENANAFbF3UNy2Ri
She knew intimately what happens in situations like that. Despite her previous obligations, the redhead made her choice.277Please respect copyright.PENANAjp6Bpu7sLK
277Please respect copyright.PENANApfHhMjehFj
“If a familiar is what you seek, then you shall have one. I agree to be yours.”
277Please respect copyright.PENANAmH7OqRGG60
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.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAomxXMfs9nf
Dovahkiin: “You!? You would subject yourself as a slave to a child? Where is your pride as a Dovah?”
277Please respect copyright.PENANAxzI0mlFJMO
“Dovah? I see, that's your word for it. So you can tell?”
277Please respect copyright.PENANAEU4Im54Drn
Dovahkiin: *Nod*
277Please respect copyright.PENANAIAQ1EA29MY
“I have my own reasons.”
277Please respect copyright.PENANAYWXWw2t9Nh
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.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAtUhBhOfzbN
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?
277Please respect copyright.PENANAAypYIt58Yp
Raskreia: “Well I won’t judge you. It’s your choice.”
277Please respect copyright.PENANArVUfu1kUQ1
Louise reapplies her rule of steel mask and starts towards the redhead. She let out an indignant, resigned huff as she raised her wand.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAzr1XB8U5J1
Louise: “Consider yourself fortunate, commoner. Normally, you’d never in your life have a noble do this to you.”
277Please respect copyright.PENANAuCbYuJr1Gj
Louise: “My name is Louise Francoise Le Blanc de La Valliere. Oh, pentagon that rules the five elements, bless this individual and-”
277Please respect copyright.PENANAolfdPwxWgH
277Please respect copyright.PENANAbQURLrpANs
‘Did you think this was it?’
277Please respect copyright.PENANAHZGoxHJcEA
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.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAOgmBipxTLI
“Louise!?”
277Please respect copyright.PENANA1OOn2Jkl9n
Everyone, including the dragon, looks at Louise with concern. Before anyone could go to her and see what’s wrong, something else extraordinary happens.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAgLAMFs11nL
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.
277Please respect copyright.PENANApDt6zDDiHB
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.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAl8ocTKd6HE
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.
277Please respect copyright.PENANA2bgx3dwNn1
Raskeria: “The hell was that?”
277Please respect copyright.PENANAAbce4oQ66D
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.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAzuicwklkUG
Colbert: “A golem?”
277Please respect copyright.PENANAjTAc428y1i
Dovahkiin: “No, something more.”
277Please respect copyright.PENANAQuM4JNXh03
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.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAKlVtDFWMy1
Guiche: “Unhand me this instant!”
277Please respect copyright.PENANAvXY5jfYCBP
It didn’t respond instead it brought its other arm up and balled it into a fist.
277Please respect copyright.PENANA6VPUoQqoQ0
Guiche: “You would dare hit a noble!? I tell you, my father is a gener-”
277Please respect copyright.PENANAB0pYDlttP5
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.
277Please respect copyright.PENANASl3tsqeJpv
Colbert: “Mister Grammont!”
277Please respect copyright.PENANA1yzLbwaS8f
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.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAPUwE9A2Zf7
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.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAOTHQJ5Y1OZ
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.
277Please respect copyright.PENANA27gc5CYCBy
Guiche: “L-Louise?”277Please respect copyright.PENANAiTqdtscEWg
277Please respect copyright.PENANAnemE8z3fP0
Colbert: “But how?”
277Please respect copyright.PENANAmQaCGhWGq8
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.
277Please respect copyright.PENANA50oRmtaQ9i
Raskeria: “Can this day get any crazier?”
277Please respect copyright.PENANAwh0p9cK1f8
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.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAiRWvxmHqTa
Guiche: “How dare-”
277Please respect copyright.PENANAMbCwTAfkG0
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.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAkISeS12M97
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.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAVIXi63fNS9
Regardless, Dova took the golem and threw it across the field away from the students.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAAJqY25YO5H
While this was happening, the redhead took Louise to a safe distance. She could help but she wanted to keep Louise safe for now.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAk7hMReM6gF
Raskeria: “That has to be among the strongest golems I’ve ever seen.”
277Please respect copyright.PENANAEPOkvSIQfD
Dovahkiin: “It’s like a Dwemer automation but more…advanced somehow.”
277Please respect copyright.PENANAnCCWXYXQQJ
Louise?: “I don’t remember you two when I left. Who are you two?”

Raskeria: “Talk later, fight now!”
277Please respect copyright.PENANAFGB1RI5xAy
Dovahkiin: “YOL TOOR SHUL!”
277Please respect copyright.PENANAmnjrs0jQ6k
The dragon breathes intense heat at the golem while Raskeria casts a strange spell that also shoots bolts of fire.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAX9Iy4BoKtS
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.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAq2cSl5mj4s
Raskeria: “Okay, that thing is too dangerous. Disintegrate.”
277Please respect copyright.PENANAMnOnR55Zlz
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.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAeQnuIbU3rU
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.
277Please respect copyright.PENANA4nZFWXLH0P
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.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAXWY8NWnhgE
This proved to be the right choice when the sound of lightning cracked from the cloud of dust.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAJoxAfFf8V7
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.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAtXby0kO5EX
Raskeria: “Another one!? To think, I was just hanging out with friends and now I have to fight for my life.”
277Please respect copyright.PENANAS2Yseuq4VW
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.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAVRFYKAV9sh
Eventually, the sound of clicking reached her ears. She disassembled her shield and placed her hands behind her with her palms open.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAZlsC1WD64l
Louise 2: ‘Here’s my chanc-”
277Please respect copyright.PENANAqKytj7W6Aj
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.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAYPKwLTE0HI
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.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAEnOnDOQkbt
Raskeria: “Did Louise summon another one? I can’t deny it, that’s impressive.”
277Please respect copyright.PENANABqfTokcrEG
Louise 2: “Friend or foe?”
277Please respect copyright.PENANA2ZMy48i1YX
Jake: “Depends on what happens next. The name’s Jake Logan Anderson, Jake will do.”
277Please respect copyright.PENANAhE30N9yO1U
Dovahkiin: “FUS RO DAH”
277Please respect copyright.PENANAx6lEu8e0LQ
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.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAhCHvanMtA0
Dovahkiin: ‘I need to get used to this body and fast. I hope that was the last of them.’
277Please respect copyright.PENANAOaMJJIfWln
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.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAkcex6yMlVz
Louise 2: “Mr. Colbert!”
277Please respect copyright.PENANAvTJ74ZpgQk
This seemed to jog the man from his shock.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAmIt064oYCt
Colbert: “Um yes, what do you need Ms….you are Valliere right?”
277Please respect copyright.PENANAHeVrarvwQP
Louise 2: “Yes. Evacuate everyone from this place right now.”
277Please respect copyright.PENANAEnIbqwKVx0
Raskeria: “Why? Isn’t it over?”
277Please respect copyright.PENANAPvHBqOy8Ql
Jake: “No, it’s never that easy.”
277Please respect copyright.PENANACyguqkWbPi
Louise 2: “He’s right, this courtyard isn’t safe anymore.”
277Please respect copyright.PENANAh5v2zlAV8Q
The doppelganger looked at the strangers she fought with.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAvXrsCkpMq4
Louise 2: “Can trust one of you to help Colbert protect everyone.”
277Please respect copyright.PENANAA3ugRJYyEA
Before any of them could answer, the red-head answered.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAvjXPb80vWY
“I’ll protect him along with…you I guess.”
277Please respect copyright.PENANA237oyww21F
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.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAHXg20fKcOJ
Louise 2: “And who are you?”
277Please respect copyright.PENANAjA7Z0kNwuT
“My name is Aeterna Flamma, your familiar.”
277Please respect copyright.PENANApu5l7rPYDv
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.
277Please respect copyright.PENANALwPmZPBgBK
Dovahkiin: “Trust her, she is stronger than she looks.”
277Please respect copyright.PENANAOs0U2KxzHu
Louise: 2: “…Fine. I won’t argue with a dragon. Especially not now.”
277Please respect copyright.PENANANJwh2YqTNx
Aeterna: “Good, come on everyone.”
277Please respect copyright.PENANA2OagS7I9hj
Colbert: “Y-You heard them, we can’t stay here any-”
277Please respect copyright.PENANAmX70PuEEnT
Suddenly, the sound of something rattling made itself known throughout the courtyard. Louise 2 clicked her tongue.
277Please respect copyright.PENANALnFFwKpt06
Louise 2: “Go, NOW!”
277Please respect copyright.PENANAMOhhVIKaVk
They followed her order, many out of fear of the sight before them. The 3 golems slowly but surely collapsed into strange black sand.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAmzvMfQbMDR
Jake: “What the fuck?! Are these truly machines?”
277Please respect copyright.PENANAQK2YHdnLfk
Raskeria: “I’m starting to question that too.”
277Please respect copyright.PENANA0ek1FUauRw
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.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAJYNKhSlb99
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.
277Please respect copyright.PENANA94FgJZ7991
The arms were next. The left was a massive blade and the right was a massive claw hand.
277Please respect copyright.PENANATyXUY1m8kW
Finally, the head was bulky enough to discourage any beheading. But the most important part was the lines connecting to the chest area.
277Please respect copyright.PENANA0z1HfIELn4
Louise 2: ‘That’s its weak point.’
277Please respect copyright.PENANARP62ulfYMQ
Its eyes finally light up and lock onto the fighters.
277Please respect copyright.PENANApPm6ABYW5L
Louise 2: “Just my luck, a Ravager.”
277Please respect copyright.PENANAOm7uea7XOs
Raskeria: “A what?”
277Please respect copyright.PENANAWpuUv91jc3
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.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAXufn5mjrTH
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.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAosObS7qNHF
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.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAhReJQtdtUB
Louise 2: “Go!”
277Please respect copyright.PENANANR1HYO73Tc
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.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAPVuuKVgJKN
Raskeria aided the group with various spells, mostly fire and stuff like ‘Create Pit’.
277Please respect copyright.PENANArK1vo4p3YN
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.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAnsDRH8arSe
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.
277Please respect copyright.PENANA49pCzTlvnL
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.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAHPwwmQNG5h
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.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAcidy3t0x0z
Raskeria: “Yeah, stay right there. Disintegrate.”
277Please respect copyright.PENANAgqjMP4dchZ
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.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAbcfltmwmLh
Louise 2: “That won’t be enough! We need to destroy its core.”
277Please respect copyright.PENANAXLtciCUoMs
Jake: “Where is it then!?”
277Please respect copyright.PENANAZG4NP8YTCz
Louise 2: “It was in its chest but who knows where it will be when it reforms.”
277Please respect copyright.PENANAccIqMQL1Gp
They look back at Rask and she couldn’t help but rub the back of her head.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAIgGoCD30FZ
Raskeria: “My bad.”
277Please respect copyright.PENANAAS0nCOyA69
Jake: “Tch, it’s like fighting a machine version of me.”
277Please respect copyright.PENANAGEa8ddIz5w
Dovahkiin: “FO KRAH DIIN”
277Please respect copyright.PENANAvpBbPdAV68
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.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAF6qmAjBqUw
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.
277Please respect copyright.PENANA4aepKFevxM
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.”
277Please respect copyright.PENANAEEpBP33ZsM
Raskeria: “What do you mean?”
277Please respect copyright.PENANAXmlqi0VEDY
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.”
277Please respect copyright.PENANAUabXslveej
Jake: “…Fine.”
277Please respect copyright.PENANAOCeCY6UK6H
The other 2 nodded and got into position.
277Please respect copyright.PENANANvkyPnlJYf
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.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAn5igpffPVV
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.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAfYCX7EZQKa
Louise 2: “You got to be kidding me.”277Please respect copyright.PENANAtRYhjJtLMj
277Please respect copyright.PENANANoZLql44ZV
The Ravager started firing at everything below. Raskeria created another shield around everyone to block the heavy bullet fire.
277Please respect copyright.PENANADGVaXviUyo
Raskeria: “Dovahkiin, this is all you. I’ll focus on protecting everyone while you distract it enough to prevent it from firing.”
277Please respect copyright.PENANAg50iwUn9Od
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.
277Please respect copyright.PENANANoJsv9k4Ei
Despite Dovah’s best efforts though, Ravager wasn’t that bothered by it’s attacks. That was until Dovah started using more unique shouts.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAt8aX77zBnI
Dovahkiin: “VEN GAAR NOS!”
277Please respect copyright.PENANAcp5X8m17mh
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.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAlPqd7Y416C
Louise 2: “Great, bring it down quick! I can see where the core is! Focus your attacks on its head!”
277Please respect copyright.PENANAdVEQ2817Ag
Raskeria: “I still need to keep the shield on Dovahkiin so I can’t attack.”
277Please respect copyright.PENANAOydMHRky7k
Louise 2: “That’s a good thing, just focus on support.”
277Please respect copyright.PENANATziHUWPofO
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.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAduXmwXNNfs
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.
277Please respect copyright.PENANARbEzZfJSjn
Raskeria: “Was that…magic?”
277Please respect copyright.PENANA71DQA7D2y5
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.”
277Please respect copyright.PENANAeEHmTGLrkx
Dova shrugged it off but still lost some ground. Jake on the other hand was on fire and falling.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAhnLXASDcE3
Jake: ‘Of course, it had to use fire and lightning of all things.’
277Please respect copyright.PENANA7v2pO7lldk
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.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAqAs2dgTNSP
It abandoned the dragon and went to delete the living weapon. But before it could, another welcomed surprise appeared. The final and winning variable.
277Please respect copyright.PENANALslyHm3g1P
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.
277Please respect copyright.PENANA1tTNwNEsdI
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.
277Please respect copyright.PENANA2eHmx0vNPL
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.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAnVsqU8XhsX
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.
277Please respect copyright.PENANA28p2I8478t
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.
277Please respect copyright.PENANABXwKYIuHo8
Louise 2: “I don’t know who you are but if you can understand me, keep it down while I end this.”
277Please respect copyright.PENANA1wqlUHsMKu
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.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAPcqZBZhErA
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.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAipaFErryrO
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.’
277Please respect copyright.PENANAoeHyyfBvod
The distance between them became smaller.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAzqPP3f0wrL
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.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAprf0NMvMZ0
20 meters
277Please respect copyright.PENANA64nb0xFa7P
Arcs of pink electricity started to form around her.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAvtz59Em5Bp
15 meters
277Please respect copyright.PENANAF5bWX6sQd3
She opened her eyes; her vision was surrounded by plenty of warnings but she dismissed them.
277Please respect copyright.PENANA699M3AWqrT
10 meters
277Please respect copyright.PENANAQKxllMMxeP
Louise 2: “Adapt to this!”
277Please respect copyright.PENANAgfHUOtH70e
5 meters
277Please respect copyright.PENANACUo99u1p1T
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.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAVPPJInmkPu
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.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAAsKhQMVOW3
The sonic boom made it into everyone’s ears. Students screamed and even the fighters had to cover their ears as the ground quaked.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAREQNcyxsPN
The fighters aside from Jake ran up to the aftermath of the attack. Colbert also came running despite Aeterna’s warning.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAMO1PWIQlws
Good news, the Ravager now sported a missing head. Bad news, behind the Ravager was a badly damaged Louise 2.
277Please respect copyright.PENANABJT79e2p3z
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.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAG9CCo5q3Dg
Raskeria: “Okay, that looks terrible. But I can fix this.”
277Please respect copyright.PENANAuuBSIayYcX
She started to create ice to cool her down before applying healing magic. But before she could a voice stopped her.
277Please respect copyright.PENANA8ZEbB5u8ah
“STOP, YOU’RE GOING TO KILL HER!”
277Please respect copyright.PENANA0P6opZHhjW
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.
277Please respect copyright.PENANA40dliiE2U3
Colbert: “Stop, any closer and we’ll consider you an enemy!”
277Please respect copyright.PENANA6sedjYaXLZ
Raskeria: “I vote enemy, where was he when everything was going wrong?”
277Please respect copyright.PENANAfQMApqBwUL
Louise 2: “B-Bench? I-Is that…y-you?”
277Please respect copyright.PENANAa71rFY6ZBM
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.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAhxy0HWgQgI
Colbert: “Miss Valliere!”
277Please respect copyright.PENANAm5wq4EJxis
Louise 2: “Please…let Bench…come to me…professor.”
277Please respect copyright.PENANAqQufyuA31J
Raskeria: “But what about my magic? I can heal you good as new.”
277Please respect copyright.PENANARa4Yq4Iogw
Louise 2: “Don’t…I…d-don’t know…what effect it…will h-have.”
277Please respect copyright.PENANAbZqoXHTojn
Bench: “Listen to her, I know what to do. Trust me, she’s in good hands.”
277Please respect copyright.PENANAL2JL8XrFnO
Raskeria: “…Fine. This whole thing is beyond me anyway.”
277Please respect copyright.PENANAwChMUg2cDj
Heeding his words, Raskeria and Colbert moved out of the way. Bench approached Louise 2 and a blue line scanned her entire being.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAnb7yfQcGc4
Bench: “You’ve really done it this time Louise.”
277Please respect copyright.PENANAsNMU6h6EeY
Louise 2: “Why does…it…matter…I destroyed…the Ravager.”
277Please respect copyright.PENANABY2hGI3RN8
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.”
277Please respect copyright.PENANASwO6Dv6g7R
Raskeria: ‘You mean what I was going to do?’
277Please respect copyright.PENANAPQjsYc1dKq
Louise 2: “Then would…this help?”
277Please respect copyright.PENANArbKJwfCKQU
She asks while letting go of a red orb that was giving a low hum.
277Please respect copyright.PENANArSwiNO0tRo
Bench: “Is that what I think it is?”
277Please respect copyright.PENANAKLSE3JxYqG
Louise 2: “Y-You bet…it is.”
277Please respect copyright.PENANAd8YESQSu6S
A blue line passed over the orb from Bench.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAWRI7adYVnx
Bench: “I can’t believe it, a Ravager core.”
277Please respect copyright.PENANA3Ov2O4tMZn
Raskeria: “You mean that’s what we were fighting to destroy? Why is it intact?”
277Please respect copyright.PENANAnFEFJND3El
Bench: “Because this might be the only sure way to save Louise.”
277Please respect copyright.PENANADYbAvknbxa
Raskeria: “Magic is out but the core of that monster is okay?”
277Please respect copyright.PENANAZLLwYoQ4D4
Dovahkiin: “I agree, destroy it.”
277Please respect copyright.PENANAkLnFGTEspX
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?”
277Please respect copyright.PENANAq5sE1QyE8X
Raskeria: “No but I’m keeping my eye on you…and that.”
277Please respect copyright.PENANADRiOohnQsS
Bench: “By all means.”
277Please respect copyright.PENANAgpYvwpkhTg
Louise 2: “So…can you…d-do it Bench?”
277Please respect copyright.PENANA90nPlsCIlO
Bench: “Do you know who you’re talking to?
277Please respect copyright.PENANAc6095O8fgv
Louise 2: “That’s…good.”
277Please respect copyright.PENANAvKQT3JHGGb
Louise 2 finally succumbs to her wounds and passes out. Bench looks to Colbert and gives a stern order.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAtsIrwdQBrR
Bench: “Take me to where your clinic is, I have a Hunter to repair!”
277Please respect copyright.PENANABtQyxfVAWN
Jake: “Wait a minute!”
277Please respect copyright.PENANA1OU3Cy94Yt
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.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAJcYP0SzhCL
Bench: “What are you doing?!”
277Please respect copyright.PENANAnfuLxyiXiI
Jake: “Just because I helped defeat that thing doesn’t mean we’re allies. I need answers!”
277Please respect copyright.PENANAXCT8fMC7z5
Raskeria: “Calm down Jake, do you really want to fight everyone here?”
277Please respect copyright.PENANA6y5dnj96S0
Jake: “…I’ll do what I have to.”
277Please respect copyright.PENANAShwbpPW188
Colbert: “W-What do you want to know?”
277Please respect copyright.PENANAx5skfJMhpb
Bench: “We don’t have time for this! Louise will die if Colbert doesn’t show me to the clinic.”
277Please respect copyright.PENANAla67j9EnLm
Jake: “I don’t care.”
277Please respect copyright.PENANAtcVyy1uGTX
Bench: “You-”
277Please respect copyright.PENANA7ogcbfsZnv
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.
277Please respect copyright.PENANA7dBUb0ZYHo
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.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAwYLRIzBGab
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.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAzUH1w1yIdC
“Can you understand me?”
277Please respect copyright.PENANAu3hFwI4OrW
Raskeria: ‘A translation spell? Oh, he’s good.’
277Please respect copyright.PENANA3raz0fN6qO
Colbert: “Y-Yes.”
277Please respect copyright.PENANAkIND7B5sAo
“Wonderful, my name is Zander and I’ll take them to the clinic.”
277Please respect copyright.PENANAYRNxBTcJR7
Colbert: “But how? You don’t know the way.”
277Please respect copyright.PENANAKTdmMzDxnk
Zander: “I’ll ask one of the students or the staff. I’m sure they’ll help.”
277Please respect copyright.PENANA3NcbjJfrzF
With a slight twist of his wrist, Louise begins to float off the ground.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAm8jCvPumDI
Zander: “Shall we go Bench?”
277Please respect copyright.PENANAZrHfIsTQMa
Bench: “Yes, quickly now.”

They begin to leave but before that Zander gives a sharp glare to Jake.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAm7CSVWnrwG
Zander: “I hope I don’t have to come back here and deal with you Jake. I rather we be friends than enemies.”
277Please respect copyright.PENANAbLbVaIhF8P
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.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAHuoWit2op2
No one said a word until Zander was gone.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAUwLzLAXdMm
Colbert: “Okay, so what do you want to know Jake.”
277Please respect copyright.PENANAyPoyqRYziM
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…”
277Please respect copyright.PENANArh6LrBUBW0
Jake brings his blade a bit closer to Colbert which makes everyone tense up, ready for another fight.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAZ7AVLjH2c2
Jake: “You will take me back to New York.”
277Please respect copyright.PENANAuQpPDL7WEP
Colbert: “I’m sorry but…there’s no way back. None that we know of.”
277Please respect copyright.PENANAgAPwgeCu4J
The moment those words left his mouth, he felt the urge to slice off his head.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAuq4EFPyPMU
No way to get back to New York meant Blackwatch ran free and the only family he has left was in danger.
277Please respect copyright.PENANANIsBsW6ENK
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.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAhBbaUFfipI
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.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAjSEuEbduxp
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!”
277Please respect copyright.PENANAZ7Os0Z0HPD
Colbert: “Sir, I’m truly sorry but there is no way to reverse this.”
277Please respect copyright.PENANAgABXsfRCIr
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.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAEpmvxO7fnu
Raskeria: “There might be a way.”
277Please respect copyright.PENANAZWvjs81Noe
Everyone turned toward the girl. Jake’s eyes widened with relief but also slow-cooking anger.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAHq3Atq1fMQ
Jake: “Tell me.”
277Please respect copyright.PENANANq9vRt0IUh
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.”
277Please respect copyright.PENANALfjmjZZEVt
Jake: “Then-”
277Please respect copyright.PENANAJdfT34POSS
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…”
277Please respect copyright.PENANAeCuuldfCu9
Jake: “Or?”
277Please respect copyright.PENANAom8Ghdj0Qe
Raskeria: “Learn magic and go yourself.”
277Please respect copyright.PENANAODJJmPAk8y
Colbert: “Learn magic?”
277Please respect copyright.PENANApBtNOIzHMl
Raskeria: “Yeah, it will be hard but it can be done.”
277Please respect copyright.PENANA6nyan7e79g
Jake: “…”
277Please respect copyright.PENANAWVFmNmIuLP
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.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAdP7JntLKlH
But still, time is of the essence. He can’t be gone for long.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAx4HTHKXdVb
Jake: “How long would it take for me to learn.”
277Please respect copyright.PENANAD4VTRApfQH
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.”
277Please respect copyright.PENANAhTBWxMYEr1
Jake: ‘Years!? No, I don’t have that kind of time. I’ll leave that as a backup.’
277Please respect copyright.PENANAXHc1bckNg2
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.”
277Please respect copyright.PENANAnAVdHom6Da
Raskeria: “Sure, sure. Right now though, I’m tired. I’m going home and telling everyone what happened. See you. ‘gate’.”
277Please respect copyright.PENANA1ykKSRCzqV
A rip in reality appears behind Raskeria. She yawns and goes through which causes it to close.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAsYXct20FSo
Jake: ‘Tch, she better make good on our deal. Or I have another person on my list to kill here.’
277Please respect copyright.PENANAAwBvCtrZUO
Jake: *Sigh*
277Please respect copyright.PENANAMW1CEn97aw
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.”
277Please respect copyright.PENANAcOXDWzNXCV
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.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAzARkUPCYN5
Colbert: “Well, you’re the last one. What will you do?”
277Please respect copyright.PENANAUbuW6Heuhl
Dovahkiin: “Stay for now. Jake’s situation seemed more serious than mine so he can get the gate treatment first. Besides…”
277Please respect copyright.PENANA6yaVeasa4M
Dovahkiin: ‘It’s not all Louise’s fault that I ended up here. Damn that dedric prince.’
277Please respect copyright.PENANA1Iv1fvljNG
Colbert: “Yes?”
277Please respect copyright.PENANAHlmYWS8C0E
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.”
277Please respect copyright.PENANANTsWDn10Yb
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.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAOlyyYphpXz
Colbert: “Brimir save us, what has Louise unleashed…”
277Please respect copyright.PENANAR6fg2XOnlV
[Louise’s Room]
277Please respect copyright.PENANAgOnMMfsD7z
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.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAV1Sdlox7JQ
She gently takes her to the bed and lies her down.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAuPBGcyuJbc
Aeterna: “Already, that power is drawing dangerous things to you.”
277Please respect copyright.PENANABiAGt9Tz4d
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.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAIIfxCxtpuz
Aeterna: “Did she really expect me to sleep on that? I guess she was expecting an animal though.”
277Please respect copyright.PENANA712NgvXP0B
She looks down at her body and remembers that she’s still wearing lingerie.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAS4fS88Smyb
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.”
277Please respect copyright.PENANAe3Z9bErXi8
With that thought, Aeterna leaves the room.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAFcmeyTCMPZ
…
…
277Please respect copyright.PENANA63KGKZmXXz
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.
277Please respect copyright.PENANALdQebKMOnI
‘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.’
277Please respect copyright.PENANAgzOjfRU9n3
‘Hehe, I’m getting excited. Sweet dreams Louise.’
277Please respect copyright.PENANA2zFzz2ZKb9
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.
277Please respect copyright.PENANADNVfZVACgi
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.
277Please respect copyright.PENANATVzzV9vAi7
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.
277Please respect copyright.PENANALuFb6CeMDi
Among the clouds and across the forest, more rips threaten to form.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAw4riN2ElrY
‘Let the games begin.’

277Please respect copyright.PENANAXaLT0fMu9y
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.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAHUu3pE61Nx
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.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAS1ltDrNU8j
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.
