Welcome, to my first fan fic. After years, I finally gave in and tried a few.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAosBa91GqlF
Mostly crossovers.
638Please respect copyright.PENANA5Tz2H0C5Te
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.
638Please respect copyright.PENANA8FMp1Vmp7G
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.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAF7sLzuZTW5
They will be listed at the end of this one-shot.
638Please respect copyright.PENANA1Q8A8qDDio
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.
638Please respect copyright.PENANA32qRXeGzlJ
This is version 1 after all. If I can perfect the foundation and people like it, then I can continue.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAWkzKqgO2LI
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.
638Please respect copyright.PENANA3mXuRk3L6S
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.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAF2t8AvX2Df
With that out of the way, let’s dive into this slice of eternity in a moment.
638Please respect copyright.PENANA1MjzMj9fcT
638Please respect copyright.PENANAsPLzn41Sqs
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.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAnyxUovbsaJ
Aside from that though, they were also anxious. Anxious about what kind of familiar they would get.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAeeE4gSu1rZ
A summoned familiar mirrors their master’s personality and elemental affinity. Who knows what hidden secrets their familiars may accidentally reveal to everyone?
638Please respect copyright.PENANAZdxiEhlkJj
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.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAfjNCHoLAfh
Yes, all of them have tried and succeeded in summoning a familiar.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAdsxk6fp65y
Well, all but one.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAu29Qn1Q0Jv
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.
638Please respect copyright.PENANA65UzpJ6L5e
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.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAukYR3T6tWd
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.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAJOvxBH58XU
Colbert: “All right then, has everyone had their turn?”
638Please respect copyright.PENANA86L7zOOeIG
But the one to fully shatter her hopes was her bully and rival, Kirche von Zerbst. The busty chocolate beauty.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAFO9xPS0e4H
Kirche: “No, not quite. Ms. Valliere hasn’t done it.”
638Please respect copyright.PENANAmdVQ0chRSv
Louise: ‘Brimir, darn you Kirche.’
638Please respect copyright.PENANAJvI4PLemXF
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.
638Please respect copyright.PENANA8l8aLk0eUo
Maybe then, she’ll be respected and can finally deliver some good news to her family.
638Please respect copyright.PENANANNFBuO8iLK
She goes to the summoning area and prepares to-
638Please respect copyright.PENANA5TWYse4Gb3
“Louise the zero.”
638Please respect copyright.PENANAOVvxqh1qQv
“What do you suppose she’ll summon”
638Please respect copyright.PENANAlBqPEAnAx0
“There’s no way she can summon anything. We’ll just have another explosion and nothing else.”
638Please respect copyright.PENANA0kZxN0PKBF
Kirche: “With all your boasting, you should be able to summon up something more amazing than this. Right, Louise?”
638Please respect copyright.PENANA6b5fjEyATF
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.
638Please respect copyright.PENANArbzT07ZLWU
Louise: “Well of course!”
638Please respect copyright.PENANAPeeK3OE2aC
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.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAcZSKGsChpp
She didn’t know it then but, someone was listening to her prayers.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAOJWgGOMaUH
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!”
638Please respect copyright.PENANAr5B4pAQYro
“And so the die is cast.”
638Please respect copyright.PENANAkhd42x25mC
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.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAbg55cpXulm
…
…
638Please respect copyright.PENANANlhhCWopGC
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.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAY9XK6M3RFv
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.
638Please respect copyright.PENANALRMBp9Rhvz
The students quickly collected themselves and began their favorite pass time.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAEef1alKEZ2
“Hah, I knew it! Once a Zero always a Zero.”
638Please respect copyright.PENANA4XS8AoNc4k
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.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAA945GOwK7l
The one most scared was Slyphid, the medium-sized blue dragon summoned by the petite blue-haired Tabitha.
638Please respect copyright.PENANA6JjruUpBN9
Tabitha: “What?”
638Please respect copyright.PENANAL0QAbt9cYo
Her question brought Slyphid’s head around to look her in the eyes. With their intimate bond, Slyphid was able to respond telepathically.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAmGXSRDWYj3
Slyphid: ‘I smell her! I’m Frightened! But…there’s…more than just her…a…Predator.’
638Please respect copyright.PENANACjPx8SC9NQ
The panicked voice in her head startled Tabitha. For a rhyme dragon of all things to be frightened…
638Please respect copyright.PENANA06TDx5hdzw
Tabitha: “What do you…mean?”
638Please respect copyright.PENANAXGBRW3Zk9l
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.
638Please respect copyright.PENANA0PoITssJhc
Louise: ‘Wait!? Shadows?’
638Please respect copyright.PENANA3GG8L0z1EN
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.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAzoftyKPVHu
When the smoke cleared, something completely unexpected awaited everyone. Not only did Louise summon a human but she summoned multiple familiars.
638Please respect copyright.PENANA4AC7mQLWnx
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.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAKxUZcv7Vp1
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.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAOWyJK3aFdP
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.
638Please respect copyright.PENANA3JywoIaK01
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.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAxfg9JwYKiG
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.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAVZ0CqyGteY
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.
638Please respect copyright.PENANARCBi8zo3nH
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.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAPAzyPIfu8n
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.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAroxgZZV46F
As for Louise, she just couldn’t look away. Especially after what happened next.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAhacyGys9IK
“Kolo Zu’u, druv los tinvaak dovahzul?”
638Please respect copyright.PENANA6B6JxNaE1w
…
…638Please respect copyright.PENANA6wJc1zCDAV
638Please respect copyright.PENANAki5YvEMi35
Kirche: “Did that dragon just…speak?”
638Please respect copyright.PENANAqtpsRkEEn3
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.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAq1rRbHWMgf
After a few moments of conversation and looking around, they stopped and looked at Louise.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAWGaB0kooKz
“Okay, who summoned us?”
638Please respect copyright.PENANAAR0EQ6MVeL
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.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAkxaLexL5cv
Louise: “I-I did. My name is Louise Francoise Le Blanc de La Valliere.”638Please respect copyright.PENANANuWXsxKnVC
638Please respect copyright.PENANA8i1DOOcchy
“Well hi Louise, my name is Raskreia or Rask for short. This dragon is named Dovahkiin, strange name I know.”
638Please respect copyright.PENANAgVc75AOXGn
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.
638Please respect copyright.PENANACBRfBa8XIz
638Please respect copyright.PENANAQb31NjokxO
Raskreia: “Now, I have questions but first I think we should help the kid.”
638Please respect copyright.PENANAQv3OgIAYPM
638Please respect copyright.PENANAL0QI60JXXM
Colbert finally escaped his shock and agreed. He asks some students to carry the boy to the infirmary.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAlQFDHpal9E
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.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAF2cBD7S5gv
Colbert: ‘Who knows what could’ve happened if we delayed any further.’
638Please respect copyright.PENANAuG2jG96BDI
“Ugh, what, is with the racket.”
638Please respect copyright.PENANAbPBr70NwZJ
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.
638Please respect copyright.PENANATkEAWo2bUR
“I slept in an inn in my underwear, and I wake up in a summoning circle in them. Ugh, what even?”
638Please respect copyright.PENANAIdLxsJgEn7
Raskreia: “Well, looks who’s awake.”
638Please respect copyright.PENANAZiMY9v4UK5
She sighs.638Please respect copyright.PENANATcPQF0Bnuc
638Please respect copyright.PENANAmaJLlGafrM
“And I am surrounded by children and a strange dragon.”
638Please respect copyright.PENANAngeNox7obW
Colbert: “Since everyone is awake, not including the injured, we should proceed with the bonding ritual.”638Please respect copyright.PENANAEtDg7WDO16
638Please respect copyright.PENANA4ohajas25n
Raskreia: “Sure, if you’re going to explain to us what in the nine hells is going on here exactly and where we are?”638Please respect copyright.PENANATUgWwJX7Rz
638Please respect copyright.PENANAKSUbtrsPAQ
At this, Louise answers before the man could.638Please respect copyright.PENANAExaasNXXg3
638Please respect copyright.PENANAfnMONlJa9p
Louise: “You’re here because I summoned you all to be my familiar with the summon servant spell, and I am your master now.”
638Please respect copyright.PENANAmhfiYkuBg4
Rask rolls her eyes while the other 2 had more animated responses.638Please respect copyright.PENANAPaSaKSzUj2
638Please respect copyright.PENANA6dxi9uQwMU
“Whoa, back the fuck up. Why should I be your familiar?”638Please respect copyright.PENANAPAFx0QJsh1
638Please respect copyright.PENANAqHp0Xpvmdw
Dovahkiin: “What do you mean by bonding?”638Please respect copyright.PENANAoRKh2vb9a0
638Please respect copyright.PENANACqKC7xIAyF
Everyone except Rask blinked. That was in Tristainian.638Please respect copyright.PENANAoCLPf129Xb
638Please respect copyright.PENANAK3hTxsPvRd
Dovahkiin: “Oh, so now my voice returns.”
638Please respect copyright.PENANAiwOE0tL3Pe
Colbert: “You can speak our language?”
638Please respect copyright.PENANAlafTnE6cML
Dovahkiin: “I can speak this language, but before I was…confused and spoke in native Dovahzul.”
638Please respect copyright.PENANAWiaDBivWpy
Raskreia: “Really? I guess I don’t need this anymore then.”
638Please respect copyright.PENANAHlftZS4dwX
Rask puts the ring back in her bag.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAs0cp24VVMT
Colbert: “Dovahzul, I haven’t heard of that language.”
638Please respect copyright.PENANAYYVtIHyG3N
“Neither have I, strange.”
638Please respect copyright.PENANAiztqpQSZDI
Dovahkiin: “Enough of this, what do you mean by bonding?”
638Please respect copyright.PENANA2NvMfejSaP
Despite the group before her, Louise bravely stepped forward again.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAS8H9OZAWRn
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.”
638Please respect copyright.PENANAhNHxqp8fF7
The reactions from all summoned present varied but none good.638Please respect copyright.PENANAo1hgopjYDp
638Please respect copyright.PENANAijlMe2GKmP
Raskreia: “I’m fine with getting summoned but getting branded like some animal, no thanks.”638Please respect copyright.PENANAnn3b4rhvz9
638Please respect copyright.PENANANu9NEBD4k2
Louise’s mood quickly deteriorates but there’s still hope she thought. She summoned more than one, surely one would agree.
638Please respect copyright.PENANALlbvu4zix3
But that thought quickly faded away when the dragon growled. It drew itself up by stretching its wings down and glared at Louise.
638Please respect copyright.PENANA6ZOWyFhGoy
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?”
638Please respect copyright.PENANABNo2eSVEdR
Raskreia: ‘Oh no, they made the dragon mad. That’s never a good idea. No matter the plane.’
638Please respect copyright.PENANA9f8GD5Ng86
Colbert stepped in as Louise faltered and took several steps back.
638Please respect copyright.PENANALvl4qo4QK2
Colbert: “It’s how the holy ritual has been performed for hundreds of years.”
638Please respect copyright.PENANAff3kxHDJvi
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.”
638Please respect copyright.PENANARvScaFbYmk
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.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAL0IJbpULQq
Dovahkiin: “I for one refuse to become anyone’s slave. I simply want to return to the life I lived before this all occurred.”
638Please respect copyright.PENANAHkraLdZm2e
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.”
638Please respect copyright.PENANANH63idIyx0
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.’638Please respect copyright.PENANAYrQBVUnTom
638Please respect copyright.PENANA7uwxexzvyA
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.
638Please respect copyright.PENANA6WRwUf5B8o
She grips her wand tightly, wishing this was all a dream. Unbeknownst to her, there was one that considered her offer.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAvTuH7N06HN
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.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAxVFhs0pTqX
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.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAqko1xI5gyH
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.638Please respect copyright.PENANA8MdTfp9gjZ
638Please respect copyright.PENANAtDNhlbmmg4
She knew intimately what happens in situations like that. Despite her previous obligations, the redhead made her choice.638Please respect copyright.PENANAntse0DGTyX
638Please respect copyright.PENANAGLCBM8sW8n
“If a familiar is what you seek, then you shall have one. I agree to be yours.”
638Please respect copyright.PENANAQ378ojgUi0
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.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAGDbFJSa4vu
Dovahkiin: “You!? You would subject yourself as a slave to a child? Where is your pride as a Dovah?”
638Please respect copyright.PENANAQl5L2s88Ea
“Dovah? I see, that's your word for it. So you can tell?”
638Please respect copyright.PENANAmEa4VVjXJo
Dovahkiin: *Nod*
638Please respect copyright.PENANAkSNhH4Cndi
“I have my own reasons.”
638Please respect copyright.PENANAWXThC9TDhE
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.
638Please respect copyright.PENANA39mFp6LFIj
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?
638Please respect copyright.PENANAU1SGunjrEK
Raskreia: “Well I won’t judge you. It’s your choice.”
638Please respect copyright.PENANAUAbYiqUK3G
Louise reapplies her rule of steel mask and starts towards the redhead. She let out an indignant, resigned huff as she raised her wand.
638Please respect copyright.PENANADcYrahMLyN
Louise: “Consider yourself fortunate, commoner. Normally, you’d never in your life have a noble do this to you.”
638Please respect copyright.PENANAMQUyJjnqdN
Louise: “My name is Louise Francoise Le Blanc de La Valliere. Oh, pentagon that rules the five elements, bless this individual and-”
638Please respect copyright.PENANAKO24Gj3z3w
638Please respect copyright.PENANAlzTKCPa95F
‘Did you think this was it?’
638Please respect copyright.PENANA6gIUY8TPr6
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.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAM1jgXVa1P7
“Louise!?”
638Please respect copyright.PENANANlGKt2pr1S
Everyone, including the dragon, looks at Louise with concern. Before anyone could go to her and see what’s wrong, something else extraordinary happens.
638Please respect copyright.PENANA9JCCwPC0uJ
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.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAnCMnNNU8vv
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.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAhzDzezGAJh
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.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAo5LSw5oWbb
Raskeria: “The hell was that?”
638Please respect copyright.PENANA0KV4iyziyk
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.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAcK1oI7LTCR
Colbert: “A golem?”
638Please respect copyright.PENANAP7nEC85Tqo
Dovahkiin: “No, something more.”
638Please respect copyright.PENANABg5bDpSxjd
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.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAA6UotB0ibm
Guiche: “Unhand me this instant!”
638Please respect copyright.PENANAsZmkCOXUUr
It didn’t respond instead it brought its other arm up and balled it into a fist.
638Please respect copyright.PENANANbqeDC7EB2
Guiche: “You would dare hit a noble!? I tell you, my father is a gener-”
638Please respect copyright.PENANAUeDuaKml4y
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.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAkP9Hv9oCec
Colbert: “Mister Grammont!”
638Please respect copyright.PENANA4jDeG9vKY3
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.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAIJUSnoikqF
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.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAkWKc53vX9l
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.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAsL00v9UH18
Guiche: “L-Louise?”638Please respect copyright.PENANAl9NDldAvfO
638Please respect copyright.PENANAVnxdyLzpjs
Colbert: “But how?”
638Please respect copyright.PENANANAIwiphiNl
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.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAP5hLKcYKFF
Raskeria: “Can this day get any crazier?”
638Please respect copyright.PENANAW114WOl9QH
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.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAAFGizlsJnR
Guiche: “How dare-”
638Please respect copyright.PENANAnIBemAQekU
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.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAYBBVaHalFw
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.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAcl2NBb0TM3
Regardless, Dova took the golem and threw it across the field away from the students.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAYnU1nr7uby
While this was happening, the redhead took Louise to a safe distance. She could help but she wanted to keep Louise safe for now.
638Please respect copyright.PENANANrc1z8NRnD
Raskeria: “That has to be among the strongest golems I’ve ever seen.”
638Please respect copyright.PENANANCKptcpHxT
Dovahkiin: “It’s like a Dwemer automation but more…advanced somehow.”
638Please respect copyright.PENANAOTnmLrqvv1
Louise?: “I don’t remember you two when I left. Who are you two?”

Raskeria: “Talk later, fight now!”
638Please respect copyright.PENANAJWjcjyJHDa
Dovahkiin: “YOL TOOR SHUL!”
638Please respect copyright.PENANAhvcCn2EUWQ
The dragon breathes intense heat at the golem while Raskeria casts a strange spell that also shoots bolts of fire.
638Please respect copyright.PENANA4OeP6OFkyq
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.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAA0xoye57FO
Raskeria: “Okay, that thing is too dangerous. Disintegrate.”
638Please respect copyright.PENANAo8l3hJw7FS
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.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAeiryvO25NG
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.
638Please respect copyright.PENANA7UMpzo2F4K
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.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAakDGgKMOaq
This proved to be the right choice when the sound of lightning cracked from the cloud of dust.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAgbCWn2oDzQ
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.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAF5wStvsQt1
Raskeria: “Another one!? To think, I was just hanging out with friends and now I have to fight for my life.”
638Please respect copyright.PENANAN2MsB12k8h
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.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAct81Hgjseg
Eventually, the sound of clicking reached her ears. She disassembled her shield and placed her hands behind her with her palms open.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAnxTl1Uoel2
Louise 2: ‘Here’s my chanc-”
638Please respect copyright.PENANApeertVwdzX
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.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAp3n8wEeBun
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.
638Please respect copyright.PENANADRcJZKiBe3
Raskeria: “Did Louise summon another one? I can’t deny it, that’s impressive.”
638Please respect copyright.PENANAZNF4xWDnrp
Louise 2: “Friend or foe?”
638Please respect copyright.PENANADCMP93RQ3P
Jake: “Depends on what happens next. The name’s Jake Logan Anderson, Jake will do.”
638Please respect copyright.PENANAOv31vJkM6u
Dovahkiin: “FUS RO DAH”
638Please respect copyright.PENANATab5Galn2z
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.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAVHPwJt6oc3
Dovahkiin: ‘I need to get used to this body and fast. I hope that was the last of them.’
638Please respect copyright.PENANASOFv7gYu38
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.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAvKr9rFHe4Q
Louise 2: “Mr. Colbert!”
638Please respect copyright.PENANA4kiCGCIh5G
This seemed to jog the man from his shock.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAqsggbT30Jl
Colbert: “Um yes, what do you need Ms….you are Valliere right?”
638Please respect copyright.PENANAHTH5dEgZj6
Louise 2: “Yes. Evacuate everyone from this place right now.”
638Please respect copyright.PENANAgcVZBRAwxe
Raskeria: “Why? Isn’t it over?”
638Please respect copyright.PENANAmmBogArVd7
Jake: “No, it’s never that easy.”
638Please respect copyright.PENANAsSuxOzH0GI
Louise 2: “He’s right, this courtyard isn’t safe anymore.”
638Please respect copyright.PENANATXje3acKfd
The doppelganger looked at the strangers she fought with.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAwoFUeZhKnt
Louise 2: “Can trust one of you to help Colbert protect everyone.”
638Please respect copyright.PENANA4rZMlQFuka
Before any of them could answer, the red-head answered.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAa3Evch6C2o
“I’ll protect him along with…you I guess.”
638Please respect copyright.PENANAEGMwkMeajX
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.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAgWWEQjrvKr
Louise 2: “And who are you?”
638Please respect copyright.PENANAHWygNVLzk8
“My name is Aeterna Flamma, your familiar.”
638Please respect copyright.PENANAEKcMWgt20d
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.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAhUGgIIVbld
Dovahkiin: “Trust her, she is stronger than she looks.”
638Please respect copyright.PENANAbnyQpUEFIm
Louise: 2: “…Fine. I won’t argue with a dragon. Especially not now.”
638Please respect copyright.PENANAlP3IYxBh5j
Aeterna: “Good, come on everyone.”
638Please respect copyright.PENANAikZqkKPrmE
Colbert: “Y-You heard them, we can’t stay here any-”
638Please respect copyright.PENANALHi3xI4IQN
Suddenly, the sound of something rattling made itself known throughout the courtyard. Louise 2 clicked her tongue.
638Please respect copyright.PENANASL22qXJpoX
Louise 2: “Go, NOW!”
638Please respect copyright.PENANA6vDHPrnHkF
They followed her order, many out of fear of the sight before them. The 3 golems slowly but surely collapsed into strange black sand.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAU4GhoVNpyX
Jake: “What the fuck?! Are these truly machines?”
638Please respect copyright.PENANABPSYWqAXPl
Raskeria: “I’m starting to question that too.”
638Please respect copyright.PENANAqUfv7UYXcO
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.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAOc7Jcqc96c
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.
638Please respect copyright.PENANABLbqCQaZJE
The arms were next. The left was a massive blade and the right was a massive claw hand.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAw2a5PKgl6u
Finally, the head was bulky enough to discourage any beheading. But the most important part was the lines connecting to the chest area.
638Please respect copyright.PENANALmYXNMKAP6
Louise 2: ‘That’s its weak point.’
638Please respect copyright.PENANAh2YdQwJF2M
Its eyes finally light up and lock onto the fighters.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAB6sdL5htkQ
Louise 2: “Just my luck, a Ravager.”
638Please respect copyright.PENANAypeCQAR05K
Raskeria: “A what?”
638Please respect copyright.PENANAyLObNh7NHq
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.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAXsjLk2g2g7
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.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAK9GXD4RqTQ
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.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAp5yDQXrrRQ
Louise 2: “Go!”
638Please respect copyright.PENANAGpNwBqkohZ
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.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAuOJzntwkIN
Raskeria aided the group with various spells, mostly fire and stuff like ‘Create Pit’.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAJAJEBMoQjL
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.
638Please respect copyright.PENANADDKfYVLgbx
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.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAHdp57PitSm
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.
638Please respect copyright.PENANASjE0B5eaic
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.
638Please respect copyright.PENANALqMz5SCp6B
Raskeria: “Yeah, stay right there. Disintegrate.”
638Please respect copyright.PENANAiiX8bqAr0V
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.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAhb90Ij5OGV
Louise 2: “That won’t be enough! We need to destroy its core.”
638Please respect copyright.PENANAvEb1eUFudc
Jake: “Where is it then!?”
638Please respect copyright.PENANA59UoNeR46Y
Louise 2: “It was in its chest but who knows where it will be when it reforms.”
638Please respect copyright.PENANAZun4Hkf7K1
They look back at Rask and she couldn’t help but rub the back of her head.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAGquFtzHDxs
Raskeria: “My bad.”
638Please respect copyright.PENANAcnTAEScopR
Jake: “Tch, it’s like fighting a machine version of me.”
638Please respect copyright.PENANAWSGU1lWjKW
Dovahkiin: “FO KRAH DIIN”
638Please respect copyright.PENANAW7jx8ETOfJ
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.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAn4TLezPhuv
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.
638Please respect copyright.PENANALldbV0xdW8
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.”
638Please respect copyright.PENANARLpyPRnSvc
Raskeria: “What do you mean?”
638Please respect copyright.PENANAe277dLW1WE
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.”
638Please respect copyright.PENANAP4WyY9dUgn
Jake: “…Fine.”
638Please respect copyright.PENANAQRhpczkbx4
The other 2 nodded and got into position.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAQ83DpCzcfZ
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.
638Please respect copyright.PENANASYFfvMmOiq
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.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAZUN0Fh72vo
Louise 2: “You got to be kidding me.”638Please respect copyright.PENANAQYEriRiDj9
638Please respect copyright.PENANA8ntNGHi75H
The Ravager started firing at everything below. Raskeria created another shield around everyone to block the heavy bullet fire.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAUFP0eiHhRH
Raskeria: “Dovahkiin, this is all you. I’ll focus on protecting everyone while you distract it enough to prevent it from firing.”
638Please respect copyright.PENANAoXPhRNROeF
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.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAyfLKcKF8xj
Despite Dovah’s best efforts though, Ravager wasn’t that bothered by it’s attacks. That was until Dovah started using more unique shouts.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAKvsOGDnLkC
Dovahkiin: “VEN GAAR NOS!”
638Please respect copyright.PENANAL8id3zgxIx
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.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAX4gI6GVZRV
Louise 2: “Great, bring it down quick! I can see where the core is! Focus your attacks on its head!”
638Please respect copyright.PENANAfI3i9L4N1a
Raskeria: “I still need to keep the shield on Dovahkiin so I can’t attack.”
638Please respect copyright.PENANAC8EAPEzsnU
Louise 2: “That’s a good thing, just focus on support.”
638Please respect copyright.PENANAT9cfHD6XFH
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.
638Please respect copyright.PENANARElavd8sQQ
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.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAMKwXwo7Len
Raskeria: “Was that…magic?”
638Please respect copyright.PENANABhBcKzmvwH
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.”
638Please respect copyright.PENANAsATRkKoCzF
Dova shrugged it off but still lost some ground. Jake on the other hand was on fire and falling.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAJqSJz98loF
Jake: ‘Of course, it had to use fire and lightning of all things.’
638Please respect copyright.PENANARLRvp504kN
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.
638Please respect copyright.PENANADxlgFkgU5c
It abandoned the dragon and went to delete the living weapon. But before it could, another welcomed surprise appeared. The final and winning variable.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAWe8HKwE5j1
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.
638Please respect copyright.PENANA9XtGm4j1hW
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.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAZyFMCec2eA
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.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAWo4KI6c8Gy
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.
638Please respect copyright.PENANA2EHZsVf2Fe
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.
638Please respect copyright.PENANA2psJ7fAWDq
Louise 2: “I don’t know who you are but if you can understand me, keep it down while I end this.”
638Please respect copyright.PENANALri0s6F5t2
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.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAOW73Qvhliv
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.
638Please respect copyright.PENANASQ4u4kQ9PT
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.’
638Please respect copyright.PENANAgU7VrE5RPC
The distance between them became smaller.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAXXbVv61Ptu
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.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAsQn6H9uvwH
20 meters
638Please respect copyright.PENANA4jybRqSdiN
Arcs of pink electricity started to form around her.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAtmSkv6alK0
15 meters
638Please respect copyright.PENANA1B4IaBtVxX
She opened her eyes; her vision was surrounded by plenty of warnings but she dismissed them.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAvQUG5kGV2c
10 meters
638Please respect copyright.PENANA4e9ifVzTwt
Louise 2: “Adapt to this!”
638Please respect copyright.PENANAdwDRBpkKzi
5 meters
638Please respect copyright.PENANAZw2wq2eaFy
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.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAFsfX9wY49v
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.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAVY9fJpIMYw
The sonic boom made it into everyone’s ears. Students screamed and even the fighters had to cover their ears as the ground quaked.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAffXhWqQ38W
The fighters aside from Jake ran up to the aftermath of the attack. Colbert also came running despite Aeterna’s warning.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAwu9tz90cdD
Good news, the Ravager now sported a missing head. Bad news, behind the Ravager was a badly damaged Louise 2.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAw0dyHQhCuM
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.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAkfQXSkObk6
Raskeria: “Okay, that looks terrible. But I can fix this.”
638Please respect copyright.PENANA2F0b7p253Q
She started to create ice to cool her down before applying healing magic. But before she could a voice stopped her.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAbPem6NDLNy
“STOP, YOU’RE GOING TO KILL HER!”
638Please respect copyright.PENANAdE2hCMtmzA
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.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAucFWJHGUuU
Colbert: “Stop, any closer and we’ll consider you an enemy!”
638Please respect copyright.PENANAQJwd9FDJfJ
Raskeria: “I vote enemy, where was he when everything was going wrong?”
638Please respect copyright.PENANAU3Ztf71Q2g
Louise 2: “B-Bench? I-Is that…y-you?”
638Please respect copyright.PENANABYm75qGJTo
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.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAgiGYN4fwOb
Colbert: “Miss Valliere!”
638Please respect copyright.PENANAtIKWENSDcZ
Louise 2: “Please…let Bench…come to me…professor.”
638Please respect copyright.PENANAf7IDfOLDnl
Raskeria: “But what about my magic? I can heal you good as new.”
638Please respect copyright.PENANAizR5xskaWv
Louise 2: “Don’t…I…d-don’t know…what effect it…will h-have.”
638Please respect copyright.PENANA3UrYZvBwG7
Bench: “Listen to her, I know what to do. Trust me, she’s in good hands.”
638Please respect copyright.PENANAFfwoSr7v9V
Raskeria: “…Fine. This whole thing is beyond me anyway.”
638Please respect copyright.PENANAOdbG6EZO68
Heeding his words, Raskeria and Colbert moved out of the way. Bench approached Louise 2 and a blue line scanned her entire being.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAguN14yl0AB
Bench: “You’ve really done it this time Louise.”
638Please respect copyright.PENANAhfIBxw0NNS
Louise 2: “Why does…it…matter…I destroyed…the Ravager.”
638Please respect copyright.PENANAii9RdXsmfy
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.”
638Please respect copyright.PENANALzXNcr2KH4
Raskeria: ‘You mean what I was going to do?’
638Please respect copyright.PENANAB1e7OxWMtD
Louise 2: “Then would…this help?”
638Please respect copyright.PENANAy748leEPvI
She asks while letting go of a red orb that was giving a low hum.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAwZ0JWHrLhV
Bench: “Is that what I think it is?”
638Please respect copyright.PENANAOt8l2zX3EN
Louise 2: “Y-You bet…it is.”
638Please respect copyright.PENANAYbcVXvvEqF
A blue line passed over the orb from Bench.
638Please respect copyright.PENANABwla0bSFIU
Bench: “I can’t believe it, a Ravager core.”
638Please respect copyright.PENANApPZpWyFfYV
Raskeria: “You mean that’s what we were fighting to destroy? Why is it intact?”
638Please respect copyright.PENANA8p1th3oeON
Bench: “Because this might be the only sure way to save Louise.”
638Please respect copyright.PENANAIlQXipKqyJ
Raskeria: “Magic is out but the core of that monster is okay?”
638Please respect copyright.PENANAdlahq1yZVE
Dovahkiin: “I agree, destroy it.”
638Please respect copyright.PENANATubQhiNtqL
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?”
638Please respect copyright.PENANAsXib2fgOMA
Raskeria: “No but I’m keeping my eye on you…and that.”
638Please respect copyright.PENANAcuHMTAqfAE
Bench: “By all means.”
638Please respect copyright.PENANAkyhT4ok3l5
Louise 2: “So…can you…d-do it Bench?”
638Please respect copyright.PENANAik6lImSurl
Bench: “Do you know who you’re talking to?
638Please respect copyright.PENANA4AjEUsBD5i
Louise 2: “That’s…good.”
638Please respect copyright.PENANAygY5Wb78xv
Louise 2 finally succumbs to her wounds and passes out. Bench looks to Colbert and gives a stern order.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAIhb7W9mdRw
Bench: “Take me to where your clinic is, I have a Hunter to repair!”
638Please respect copyright.PENANArLZdBXtiRU
Jake: “Wait a minute!”
638Please respect copyright.PENANAPycPeDJze6
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.
638Please respect copyright.PENANA0woVKcXOwR
Bench: “What are you doing?!”
638Please respect copyright.PENANAaSo4nqwIeH
Jake: “Just because I helped defeat that thing doesn’t mean we’re allies. I need answers!”
638Please respect copyright.PENANAHr0yvkTbxX
Raskeria: “Calm down Jake, do you really want to fight everyone here?”
638Please respect copyright.PENANAdWzSFZhstM
Jake: “…I’ll do what I have to.”
638Please respect copyright.PENANAzqFAEFWPZO
Colbert: “W-What do you want to know?”
638Please respect copyright.PENANAp6tQcXtfMM
Bench: “We don’t have time for this! Louise will die if Colbert doesn’t show me to the clinic.”
638Please respect copyright.PENANAayaFweXL8Q
Jake: “I don’t care.”
638Please respect copyright.PENANATlb6S3JXUc
Bench: “You-”
638Please respect copyright.PENANAKbev1FLrG5
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.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAP7OmiHblfe
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.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAGfREk7CjOT
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.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAxEMRrtvLKP
“Can you understand me?”
638Please respect copyright.PENANAaKvGSdCR73
Raskeria: ‘A translation spell? Oh, he’s good.’
638Please respect copyright.PENANA6yFdIlrQnC
Colbert: “Y-Yes.”
638Please respect copyright.PENANAkDUnZJt2AY
“Wonderful, my name is Zander and I’ll take them to the clinic.”
638Please respect copyright.PENANAL803FQRJQA
Colbert: “But how? You don’t know the way.”
638Please respect copyright.PENANA383BuUJ6Mn
Zander: “I’ll ask one of the students or the staff. I’m sure they’ll help.”
638Please respect copyright.PENANAbyYi4nynXY
With a slight twist of his wrist, Louise begins to float off the ground.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAj9ZEXNJkti
Zander: “Shall we go Bench?”
638Please respect copyright.PENANAIZZKkjjie3
Bench: “Yes, quickly now.”
638Please respect copyright.PENANAQBpt2rETqF
They begin to leave but before that Zander gives a sharp glare to Jake.
638Please respect copyright.PENANA0iEFv1AtXo
Zander: “I hope I don’t have to come back here and deal with you Jake. I rather we be friends than enemies.”
638Please respect copyright.PENANA331Hpt6jZj
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.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAA46x08S7dd
No one said a word until Zander was gone.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAP5rgJTsChV
Colbert: “Okay, so what do you want to know Jake.”
638Please respect copyright.PENANAKNs53W4VWI
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…”
638Please respect copyright.PENANA8T6X9ESkEU
Jake brings his blade a bit closer to Colbert which makes everyone tense up, ready for another fight.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAKDFGo7Kqnm
Jake: “You will take me back to New York.”
638Please respect copyright.PENANATYdyz4oExE
Colbert: “I’m sorry but…there’s no way back. None that we know of.”
638Please respect copyright.PENANA7isWKvppoK
The moment those words left his mouth, he felt the urge to slice off his head.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAaliPX1RhEQ
No way to get back to New York meant Blackwatch ran free and the only family he has left was in danger.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAxOfIn6iLRG
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.
638Please respect copyright.PENANA9Z4FHBGGfl
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.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAUr6v59eL6b
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!”
638Please respect copyright.PENANAuihm3QysAx
Colbert: “Sir, I’m truly sorry but there is no way to reverse this.”
638Please respect copyright.PENANAsgSN5RBv9Z
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.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAK4LwiwQNoT
Raskeria: “There might be a way.”
638Please respect copyright.PENANAHPaASOmLBf
Everyone turned toward the girl. Jake’s eyes widened with relief but also slow-cooking anger.
638Please respect copyright.PENANA7USfZNF5s9
Jake: “Tell me.”
638Please respect copyright.PENANAGo6NY3jjCp
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.”
638Please respect copyright.PENANA95Z6wY00ZN
Jake: “Then-”
638Please respect copyright.PENANABsxMKBFgd8
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…”
638Please respect copyright.PENANA0xpGdXbZoP
Jake: “Or?”
638Please respect copyright.PENANABrWioOLguL
Raskeria: “Learn magic and go yourself.”
638Please respect copyright.PENANArrFcCEnnlA
Colbert: “Learn magic?”
638Please respect copyright.PENANA1M1LYUOJj4
Raskeria: “Yeah, it will be hard but it can be done.”
638Please respect copyright.PENANAL4HtDdwwqH
Jake: “…”
638Please respect copyright.PENANAOXMyu0K4xe
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.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAU5nnCRLjyT
But still, time is of the essence. He can’t be gone for long.
638Please respect copyright.PENANA8zw69ylFR4
Jake: “How long would it take for me to learn.”
638Please respect copyright.PENANAfPzVQDlP5O
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.”
638Please respect copyright.PENANAKFhO57U1wD
Jake: ‘Years!? No, I don’t have that kind of time. I’ll leave that as a backup.’
638Please respect copyright.PENANAWK79OYB6jI
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.”
638Please respect copyright.PENANAwX9rtpEO9U
Raskeria: “Sure, sure. Right now though, I’m tired. I’m going home and telling everyone what happened. See you. ‘gate’.”
638Please respect copyright.PENANAgXsTgW5aXk
A rip in reality appears behind Raskeria. She yawns and goes through which causes it to close.
638Please respect copyright.PENANA8qsAKlwIV3
Jake: ‘Tch, she better make good on our deal. Or I have another person on my list to kill here.’
638Please respect copyright.PENANANVJoeaX4vN
Jake: *Sigh*
638Please respect copyright.PENANAR0X52cgPli
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.”
638Please respect copyright.PENANABDk2zXLKK2
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.
638Please respect copyright.PENANA8bMVQaTFjR
Colbert: “Well, you’re the last one. What will you do?”
638Please respect copyright.PENANAEzXvlEdrGF
Dovahkiin: “Stay for now. Jake’s situation seemed more serious than mine so he can get the gate treatment first. Besides…”
638Please respect copyright.PENANAMI4JOmAcNs
Dovahkiin: ‘It’s not all Louise’s fault that I ended up here. Damn that dedric prince.’
638Please respect copyright.PENANABGbSok2eCT
Colbert: “Yes?”
638Please respect copyright.PENANATT9cCIFz6G
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.”
638Please respect copyright.PENANAYkI9C7Hiyy
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.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAptvPtjLitG
Colbert: “Brimir save us, what has Louise unleashed…”
638Please respect copyright.PENANAqnUv1k6OLh
[Louise’s Room]
638Please respect copyright.PENANAUtf4MQos64
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.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAD64bvKi6EM
She gently takes her to the bed and lies her down.
638Please respect copyright.PENANALFWejq0ZdK
Aeterna: “Already, that power is drawing dangerous things to you.”
638Please respect copyright.PENANAtaTswS4dH1
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.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAyXQ4SoEVwi
Aeterna: “Did she really expect me to sleep on that? I guess she was expecting an animal though.”
638Please respect copyright.PENANAbHjvWev74B
She looks down at her body and remembers that she’s still wearing lingerie.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAnL3jas5w2L
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.”
638Please respect copyright.PENANAamJ6ZVieZy
With that thought, Aeterna leaves the room.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAB6z6NR1GRT
…
…
638Please respect copyright.PENANAIQxsBlxEu4
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.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAhpzfT75XCV
‘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.’
638Please respect copyright.PENANAh7wvhrF2WO
‘Hehe, I’m getting excited. Sweet dreams Louise.’
638Please respect copyright.PENANAcn53QKlr6X
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.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAu1cFJlSwji
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.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAm72DSibjE1
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.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAHlDAZzcqHk
Among the clouds and across the forest, more rips threaten to form.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAXUOTO5feyH
‘Let the games begin.’

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.
638Please respect copyright.PENANADq8Mu4h4IP
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.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAZseafiuVGe
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.
