Welcome, to my first fan fic. After years, I finally gave in and tried a few.
595Please respect copyright.PENANAAOj0rbxRdA
Mostly crossovers.
595Please respect copyright.PENANAxo7vL0XHpx
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.
595Please respect copyright.PENANAimkJryxCQb
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.
595Please respect copyright.PENANAaOTW2AVEky
They will be listed at the end of this one-shot.
595Please respect copyright.PENANAOfg3RJPlXg
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.
595Please respect copyright.PENANAz03MwORono
This is version 1 after all. If I can perfect the foundation and people like it, then I can continue.
595Please respect copyright.PENANA1rtsAJf7Qa
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.
595Please respect copyright.PENANAoGLx3bJE1G
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.
595Please respect copyright.PENANAL9uLpmBJ3V
With that out of the way, let’s dive into this slice of eternity in a moment.
595Please respect copyright.PENANAVIMmBJ2rwA
595Please respect copyright.PENANAEKmbyZiQmT
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.
595Please respect copyright.PENANAYCkoTUTwry
Aside from that though, they were also anxious. Anxious about what kind of familiar they would get.
595Please respect copyright.PENANAuz9tyhbdSU
A summoned familiar mirrors their master’s personality and elemental affinity. Who knows what hidden secrets their familiars may accidentally reveal to everyone?
595Please respect copyright.PENANAcERwUkyrJX
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.
595Please respect copyright.PENANASdnlDoqhbr
Yes, all of them have tried and succeeded in summoning a familiar.
595Please respect copyright.PENANADXYO6sLIH9
Well, all but one.
595Please respect copyright.PENANA9ln02sqC1x
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.
595Please respect copyright.PENANAc76Dsndzof
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.
595Please respect copyright.PENANAdgdUXVyMAz
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.
595Please respect copyright.PENANAAzBqD40N7C
Colbert: “All right then, has everyone had their turn?”
595Please respect copyright.PENANA0pw32aoj6l
But the one to fully shatter her hopes was her bully and rival, Kirche von Zerbst. The busty chocolate beauty.
595Please respect copyright.PENANAWofOcw3Y5k
Kirche: “No, not quite. Ms. Valliere hasn’t done it.”
595Please respect copyright.PENANALBaUbhcOrO
Louise: ‘Brimir, darn you Kirche.’
595Please respect copyright.PENANATMIeJgUOYi
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.
595Please respect copyright.PENANAZTeli1EjET
Maybe then, she’ll be respected and can finally deliver some good news to her family.
595Please respect copyright.PENANAc7l0VEhaY1
She goes to the summoning area and prepares to-
595Please respect copyright.PENANANtAi4Bz1Xo
“Louise the zero.”
595Please respect copyright.PENANAoKBkSa4Vij
“What do you suppose she’ll summon”
595Please respect copyright.PENANAfrkeDEs36T
“There’s no way she can summon anything. We’ll just have another explosion and nothing else.”
595Please respect copyright.PENANA4O8CU15Ous
Kirche: “With all your boasting, you should be able to summon up something more amazing than this. Right, Louise?”
595Please respect copyright.PENANAUJ1MUOhquT
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.
595Please respect copyright.PENANA7NNm5Letj0
Louise: “Well of course!”
595Please respect copyright.PENANAk1OYumfNXw
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.
595Please respect copyright.PENANAi45nJEIrM5
She didn’t know it then but, someone was listening to her prayers.
595Please respect copyright.PENANAIBzooSEWvI
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!”
595Please respect copyright.PENANAiYuBxIQMRL
“And so the die is cast.”
595Please respect copyright.PENANAQRyhbeivob
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.
595Please respect copyright.PENANAUAx4gt5NM8
…
…
595Please respect copyright.PENANAn9KYSQjces
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.
595Please respect copyright.PENANAI32I5MZQ8w
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.
595Please respect copyright.PENANAplwk7g6UDn
The students quickly collected themselves and began their favorite pass time.
595Please respect copyright.PENANAq7k52OSOGX
“Hah, I knew it! Once a Zero always a Zero.”
595Please respect copyright.PENANAAXZs3StoYI
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.
595Please respect copyright.PENANAtlhQyfSjLR
The one most scared was Slyphid, the medium-sized blue dragon summoned by the petite blue-haired Tabitha.
595Please respect copyright.PENANAF4et78FeUI
Tabitha: “What?”
595Please respect copyright.PENANAVYSvFHOnhR
Her question brought Slyphid’s head around to look her in the eyes. With their intimate bond, Slyphid was able to respond telepathically.
595Please respect copyright.PENANAviq8Tac3Rz
Slyphid: ‘I smell her! I’m Frightened! But…there’s…more than just her…a…Predator.’
595Please respect copyright.PENANAGbZfbyKsfN
The panicked voice in her head startled Tabitha. For a rhyme dragon of all things to be frightened…
595Please respect copyright.PENANAydHuYni7tT
Tabitha: “What do you…mean?”
595Please respect copyright.PENANAA69jn2q9PU
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.
595Please respect copyright.PENANA80TChOXGlY
Louise: ‘Wait!? Shadows?’
595Please respect copyright.PENANA76giugb2Vm
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.
595Please respect copyright.PENANANcFHob7Rqr
When the smoke cleared, something completely unexpected awaited everyone. Not only did Louise summon a human but she summoned multiple familiars.
595Please respect copyright.PENANAxADDKPd236
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.
595Please respect copyright.PENANAPPVMEYBpcm
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.
595Please respect copyright.PENANAe1XYLcq6mY
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.
595Please respect copyright.PENANAXe76xrdStz
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.
595Please respect copyright.PENANAXMUYxlVQ53
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.
595Please respect copyright.PENANA1wCZR12L4W
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.
595Please respect copyright.PENANAuP2Xnyco9x
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.
595Please respect copyright.PENANAHBnICjOeKZ
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.
595Please respect copyright.PENANAc01PgfNkw3
As for Louise, she just couldn’t look away. Especially after what happened next.
595Please respect copyright.PENANAZFsmim02bQ
“Kolo Zu’u, druv los tinvaak dovahzul?”
595Please respect copyright.PENANAfG41jw3yg1
…
…595Please respect copyright.PENANAO6GaWc50RO
595Please respect copyright.PENANAEYZZhdFIzp
Kirche: “Did that dragon just…speak?”
595Please respect copyright.PENANA5UjF3MySb2
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.
595Please respect copyright.PENANAjaU5bUUKym
After a few moments of conversation and looking around, they stopped and looked at Louise.
595Please respect copyright.PENANARfFngwEEAY
“Okay, who summoned us?”
595Please respect copyright.PENANAujFkFYgUbv
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.
595Please respect copyright.PENANASlqFIbPG8i
Louise: “I-I did. My name is Louise Francoise Le Blanc de La Valliere.”595Please respect copyright.PENANApE3X3McijY
595Please respect copyright.PENANAhAzbRpd0iq
“Well hi Louise, my name is Raskreia or Rask for short. This dragon is named Dovahkiin, strange name I know.”
595Please respect copyright.PENANABYEDmv8pcl
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.
595Please respect copyright.PENANANFvAVNg0vM
595Please respect copyright.PENANAUWHPWUJorh
Raskreia: “Now, I have questions but first I think we should help the kid.”
595Please respect copyright.PENANAcLa4LfnxZZ
595Please respect copyright.PENANAw6bIvXKXiX
Colbert finally escaped his shock and agreed. He asks some students to carry the boy to the infirmary.
595Please respect copyright.PENANAZiWgZgCVsg
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.
595Please respect copyright.PENANA7bi9xS3E6m
Colbert: ‘Who knows what could’ve happened if we delayed any further.’
595Please respect copyright.PENANAZ3ucaft8k3
“Ugh, what, is with the racket.”
595Please respect copyright.PENANAZySqh041j1
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.
595Please respect copyright.PENANAdbxqkuAH37
“I slept in an inn in my underwear, and I wake up in a summoning circle in them. Ugh, what even?”
595Please respect copyright.PENANAaO4gzFsJP1
Raskreia: “Well, looks who’s awake.”
595Please respect copyright.PENANAAQKkTS3scQ
She sighs.595Please respect copyright.PENANAjfIXbooIWd
595Please respect copyright.PENANAfgV6rJIACf
“And I am surrounded by children and a strange dragon.”
595Please respect copyright.PENANArINSvtczPP
Colbert: “Since everyone is awake, not including the injured, we should proceed with the bonding ritual.”595Please respect copyright.PENANA9QMDurfOa1
595Please respect copyright.PENANAEqOwhHf9gX
Raskreia: “Sure, if you’re going to explain to us what in the nine hells is going on here exactly and where we are?”595Please respect copyright.PENANAxlIp8rIdnK
595Please respect copyright.PENANAFtik2kSvTD
At this, Louise answers before the man could.595Please respect copyright.PENANABQH9mjC400
595Please respect copyright.PENANA6NetRLg1dB
Louise: “You’re here because I summoned you all to be my familiar with the summon servant spell, and I am your master now.”
595Please respect copyright.PENANA9zffxPwWrB
Rask rolls her eyes while the other 2 had more animated responses.595Please respect copyright.PENANAgxwsMbfUih
595Please respect copyright.PENANAENOLV6YzcL
“Whoa, back the fuck up. Why should I be your familiar?”595Please respect copyright.PENANAaPjd4x4DJL
595Please respect copyright.PENANAGfRlsCqbua
Dovahkiin: “What do you mean by bonding?”595Please respect copyright.PENANASZpGsVf2M0
595Please respect copyright.PENANAxX9WXjmeyF
Everyone except Rask blinked. That was in Tristainian.595Please respect copyright.PENANAUc4M6e7I9n
595Please respect copyright.PENANAWwCkZgn5NP
Dovahkiin: “Oh, so now my voice returns.”
595Please respect copyright.PENANArIz79iSIkv
Colbert: “You can speak our language?”
595Please respect copyright.PENANANmN7CS2IFG
Dovahkiin: “I can speak this language, but before I was…confused and spoke in native Dovahzul.”
595Please respect copyright.PENANA0S2uVVDwHG
Raskreia: “Really? I guess I don’t need this anymore then.”
595Please respect copyright.PENANAW1Aw0bynP8
Rask puts the ring back in her bag.
595Please respect copyright.PENANAf4JKzJO3Qr
Colbert: “Dovahzul, I haven’t heard of that language.”
595Please respect copyright.PENANAcyWCVz5CeO
“Neither have I, strange.”
595Please respect copyright.PENANANT0ii3rMIP
Dovahkiin: “Enough of this, what do you mean by bonding?”
595Please respect copyright.PENANA8C2WPX310c
Despite the group before her, Louise bravely stepped forward again.
595Please respect copyright.PENANAEIB2Y0fx1M
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.”
595Please respect copyright.PENANAl46njRi0vg
The reactions from all summoned present varied but none good.595Please respect copyright.PENANA6rtwvaK78Q
595Please respect copyright.PENANAGMo92IeQ1t
Raskreia: “I’m fine with getting summoned but getting branded like some animal, no thanks.”595Please respect copyright.PENANAS7Oh1vgJUq
595Please respect copyright.PENANABri472VXMt
Louise’s mood quickly deteriorates but there’s still hope she thought. She summoned more than one, surely one would agree.
595Please respect copyright.PENANA6SNNNz3Mkv
But that thought quickly faded away when the dragon growled. It drew itself up by stretching its wings down and glared at Louise.
595Please respect copyright.PENANA4a1Mq44bSX
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?”
595Please respect copyright.PENANAtHVeFkyx8r
Raskreia: ‘Oh no, they made the dragon mad. That’s never a good idea. No matter the plane.’
595Please respect copyright.PENANAoleeSx4obV
Colbert stepped in as Louise faltered and took several steps back.
595Please respect copyright.PENANAIf5mQ3bfWn
Colbert: “It’s how the holy ritual has been performed for hundreds of years.”
595Please respect copyright.PENANAxabLPj270f
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.”
595Please respect copyright.PENANAwy0QdYmbPZ
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.
595Please respect copyright.PENANALQTwuzCcZt
Dovahkiin: “I for one refuse to become anyone’s slave. I simply want to return to the life I lived before this all occurred.”
595Please respect copyright.PENANAPlqzZYIp7F
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.”
595Please respect copyright.PENANAGNSJPniBQv
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.’595Please respect copyright.PENANAhq1N2LuNiR
595Please respect copyright.PENANAuJIt7O6ion
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.
595Please respect copyright.PENANA0N038PHHtE
She grips her wand tightly, wishing this was all a dream. Unbeknownst to her, there was one that considered her offer.
595Please respect copyright.PENANAl0O5KNLKH1
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.
595Please respect copyright.PENANAJOPrEwtrDv
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.
595Please respect copyright.PENANAhptMlk2KVr
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.595Please respect copyright.PENANAzxQqu3vMPK
595Please respect copyright.PENANAxOlLNirYYm
She knew intimately what happens in situations like that. Despite her previous obligations, the redhead made her choice.595Please respect copyright.PENANArg0cy1a6Hm
595Please respect copyright.PENANAjhTJK55GN2
“If a familiar is what you seek, then you shall have one. I agree to be yours.”
595Please respect copyright.PENANADBqQTaxoVl
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.
595Please respect copyright.PENANADKOJmmr0wx
Dovahkiin: “You!? You would subject yourself as a slave to a child? Where is your pride as a Dovah?”
595Please respect copyright.PENANAcS2GgFi8bK
“Dovah? I see, that's your word for it. So you can tell?”
595Please respect copyright.PENANAB36rnyTUYR
Dovahkiin: *Nod*
595Please respect copyright.PENANAbtdDUndlma
“I have my own reasons.”
595Please respect copyright.PENANA9UiBrarwoW
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.
595Please respect copyright.PENANAp7AdwyFVRc
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?
595Please respect copyright.PENANA6SP0I6khB5
Raskreia: “Well I won’t judge you. It’s your choice.”
595Please respect copyright.PENANA68iDDOpEaf
Louise reapplies her rule of steel mask and starts towards the redhead. She let out an indignant, resigned huff as she raised her wand.
595Please respect copyright.PENANAfrS2PNULdD
Louise: “Consider yourself fortunate, commoner. Normally, you’d never in your life have a noble do this to you.”
595Please respect copyright.PENANAS0Ng0v95HM
Louise: “My name is Louise Francoise Le Blanc de La Valliere. Oh, pentagon that rules the five elements, bless this individual and-”
595Please respect copyright.PENANAYe5XfTUPEn
595Please respect copyright.PENANA95h0MKocsw
‘Did you think this was it?’
595Please respect copyright.PENANAGuYH9t1iHE
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.
595Please respect copyright.PENANArqT46s5olF
“Louise!?”
595Please respect copyright.PENANADzYJezyhj6
Everyone, including the dragon, looks at Louise with concern. Before anyone could go to her and see what’s wrong, something else extraordinary happens.
595Please respect copyright.PENANA2t7UeLOBdQ
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.
595Please respect copyright.PENANAbyRm7bZDvT
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.
595Please respect copyright.PENANAVDMuPYRfbY
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.
595Please respect copyright.PENANABhATlAvt8h
Raskeria: “The hell was that?”
595Please respect copyright.PENANAxKp0j6XQYP
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.
595Please respect copyright.PENANAQFBhEIGSmw
Colbert: “A golem?”
595Please respect copyright.PENANABMgcLgF6gs
Dovahkiin: “No, something more.”
595Please respect copyright.PENANApaYiyuD9mM
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.
595Please respect copyright.PENANAkjPg5Rl2Fl
Guiche: “Unhand me this instant!”
595Please respect copyright.PENANAWscdMqPdMu
It didn’t respond instead it brought its other arm up and balled it into a fist.
595Please respect copyright.PENANABAHEscB023
Guiche: “You would dare hit a noble!? I tell you, my father is a gener-”
595Please respect copyright.PENANASsFuBYY7DR
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.
595Please respect copyright.PENANAqn05Bk8M1X
Colbert: “Mister Grammont!”
595Please respect copyright.PENANAF7QwabtzmS
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.
595Please respect copyright.PENANACamsm8PCXX
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.
595Please respect copyright.PENANAK8uTVVz3ru
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.
595Please respect copyright.PENANA0oF6xbAwVJ
Guiche: “L-Louise?”595Please respect copyright.PENANAi02HdVU8Hu
595Please respect copyright.PENANAfeCwJjCofE
Colbert: “But how?”
595Please respect copyright.PENANAMzn3B6suzZ
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.
595Please respect copyright.PENANA4TMfV3OqJR
Raskeria: “Can this day get any crazier?”
595Please respect copyright.PENANAamEmxmHBou
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.
595Please respect copyright.PENANA2tu1LnLjAe
Guiche: “How dare-”
595Please respect copyright.PENANAl7oKP3Q9HD
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.
595Please respect copyright.PENANA1SpzIy2y9B
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.
595Please respect copyright.PENANAOkhoyH5keV
Regardless, Dova took the golem and threw it across the field away from the students.
595Please respect copyright.PENANA46SiZU8Ldv
While this was happening, the redhead took Louise to a safe distance. She could help but she wanted to keep Louise safe for now.
595Please respect copyright.PENANAx2MbRY1Myp
Raskeria: “That has to be among the strongest golems I’ve ever seen.”
595Please respect copyright.PENANAU9tmwqWWtr
Dovahkiin: “It’s like a Dwemer automation but more…advanced somehow.”
595Please respect copyright.PENANAhNPZc3XEVW
Louise?: “I don’t remember you two when I left. Who are you two?”
595Please respect copyright.PENANAbe1Hrjob50
Raskeria: “Talk later, fight now!”
595Please respect copyright.PENANA5ApKR4HGjY
Dovahkiin: “YOL TOOR SHUL!”
595Please respect copyright.PENANAP5n7DC9M0U
The dragon breathes intense heat at the golem while Raskeria casts a strange spell that also shoots bolts of fire.
595Please respect copyright.PENANANLnSASp2Ml
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.
595Please respect copyright.PENANAZn1GKPDmcb
Raskeria: “Okay, that thing is too dangerous. Disintegrate.”
595Please respect copyright.PENANAN11MB7hGr8
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.
595Please respect copyright.PENANAtzpmdzS9qs
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.
595Please respect copyright.PENANAw9Q3mPO2E5
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.
595Please respect copyright.PENANAMVjGGa6AUd
This proved to be the right choice when the sound of lightning cracked from the cloud of dust.
595Please respect copyright.PENANAUEeR9JEKbK
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.
595Please respect copyright.PENANAizDs7dt5Bm
Raskeria: “Another one!? To think, I was just hanging out with friends and now I have to fight for my life.”
595Please respect copyright.PENANAqw2kI97aO8
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.
595Please respect copyright.PENANAYSJhvshQAs
Eventually, the sound of clicking reached her ears. She disassembled her shield and placed her hands behind her with her palms open.
595Please respect copyright.PENANAICcdvEsx7I
Louise 2: ‘Here’s my chanc-”
595Please respect copyright.PENANAvQE7hErJiw
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.
595Please respect copyright.PENANAf6q7pRfTVs
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.
595Please respect copyright.PENANAhrJ3NSmdlI
Raskeria: “Did Louise summon another one? I can’t deny it, that’s impressive.”
595Please respect copyright.PENANAFM209PGrVp
Louise 2: “Friend or foe?”
595Please respect copyright.PENANAnCNT1zvbfP
Jake: “Depends on what happens next. The name’s Jake Logan Anderson, Jake will do.”
595Please respect copyright.PENANADzoJNhp4Hu
Dovahkiin: “FUS RO DAH”
595Please respect copyright.PENANAJa2RXJmAsU
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.
595Please respect copyright.PENANAMxkniXdhtM
Dovahkiin: ‘I need to get used to this body and fast. I hope that was the last of them.’
595Please respect copyright.PENANAbRGo8g7aEH
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.
595Please respect copyright.PENANAblwLe7uQtY
Louise 2: “Mr. Colbert!”
595Please respect copyright.PENANA5oewt9RlHk
This seemed to jog the man from his shock.
595Please respect copyright.PENANAJyVVxiLsqN
Colbert: “Um yes, what do you need Ms….you are Valliere right?”
595Please respect copyright.PENANAJ4APu4g34h
Louise 2: “Yes. Evacuate everyone from this place right now.”
595Please respect copyright.PENANAn4KxvOvKWK
Raskeria: “Why? Isn’t it over?”
595Please respect copyright.PENANAkSYL7EfitV
Jake: “No, it’s never that easy.”
595Please respect copyright.PENANAy02WUji1PC
Louise 2: “He’s right, this courtyard isn’t safe anymore.”
595Please respect copyright.PENANA7wAxqup3yn
The doppelganger looked at the strangers she fought with.
595Please respect copyright.PENANA0NXE6cR4zr
Louise 2: “Can trust one of you to help Colbert protect everyone.”
595Please respect copyright.PENANACMwBmqGljL
Before any of them could answer, the red-head answered.
595Please respect copyright.PENANA82F9kOmznm
“I’ll protect him along with…you I guess.”
595Please respect copyright.PENANAErZ97cNrzf
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.
595Please respect copyright.PENANAzMDJiNimGq
Louise 2: “And who are you?”
595Please respect copyright.PENANA6bYDApm4CD
“My name is Aeterna Flamma, your familiar.”
595Please respect copyright.PENANA6uUf49CzWL
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.
595Please respect copyright.PENANARYbydDQcQs
Dovahkiin: “Trust her, she is stronger than she looks.”
595Please respect copyright.PENANA3Hm9PIuPeA
Louise: 2: “…Fine. I won’t argue with a dragon. Especially not now.”
595Please respect copyright.PENANAASygNJlm2c
Aeterna: “Good, come on everyone.”
595Please respect copyright.PENANAUi00gCBt84
Colbert: “Y-You heard them, we can’t stay here any-”
595Please respect copyright.PENANA1jDlTU6T4Z
Suddenly, the sound of something rattling made itself known throughout the courtyard. Louise 2 clicked her tongue.
595Please respect copyright.PENANAOsiTUSp25C
Louise 2: “Go, NOW!”
595Please respect copyright.PENANAaQHMEsU56c
They followed her order, many out of fear of the sight before them. The 3 golems slowly but surely collapsed into strange black sand.
595Please respect copyright.PENANAidTZFtBWpC
Jake: “What the fuck?! Are these truly machines?”
595Please respect copyright.PENANAFttaSmnuAG
Raskeria: “I’m starting to question that too.”
595Please respect copyright.PENANAnDRKgS7RSS
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.
595Please respect copyright.PENANAecZkJGeS9N
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.
595Please respect copyright.PENANAsEEunT1IFf
The arms were next. The left was a massive blade and the right was a massive claw hand.
595Please respect copyright.PENANAitn7K3EcP3
Finally, the head was bulky enough to discourage any beheading. But the most important part was the lines connecting to the chest area.
595Please respect copyright.PENANAFCA7ZPT6FU
Louise 2: ‘That’s its weak point.’
595Please respect copyright.PENANAEqFxqMlkQi
Its eyes finally light up and lock onto the fighters.
595Please respect copyright.PENANACuIH0Z9Oid
Louise 2: “Just my luck, a Ravager.”
595Please respect copyright.PENANAsvJixUzJ8T
Raskeria: “A what?”
595Please respect copyright.PENANAx4tv8YCs7q
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.
595Please respect copyright.PENANA12bNpp0vph
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.
595Please respect copyright.PENANAaJAOfaW8zS
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.
595Please respect copyright.PENANAq7WtAOrAEy
Louise 2: “Go!”
595Please respect copyright.PENANAzq038naMz4
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.
595Please respect copyright.PENANA3Qtzf1wHqp
Raskeria aided the group with various spells, mostly fire and stuff like ‘Create Pit’.
595Please respect copyright.PENANAGILnq89y5B
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.
595Please respect copyright.PENANAZTAwTgdwa4
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.
595Please respect copyright.PENANAWrwCCGh65W
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.
595Please respect copyright.PENANAb9pkyPhX1p
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.
595Please respect copyright.PENANA3MJz0Sx5UQ
Raskeria: “Yeah, stay right there. Disintegrate.”
595Please respect copyright.PENANA3TNh034jIx
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.
595Please respect copyright.PENANA1Ilr12yTBL
Louise 2: “That won’t be enough! We need to destroy its core.”
595Please respect copyright.PENANAQx0dALXaMl
Jake: “Where is it then!?”
595Please respect copyright.PENANAz6Wx3xOyQG
Louise 2: “It was in its chest but who knows where it will be when it reforms.”
595Please respect copyright.PENANAbe6D4ZWDG2
They look back at Rask and she couldn’t help but rub the back of her head.
595Please respect copyright.PENANAPhJd5jgQME
Raskeria: “My bad.”
595Please respect copyright.PENANAutKEBVe7Zg
Jake: “Tch, it’s like fighting a machine version of me.”
595Please respect copyright.PENANAfen302nyLD
Dovahkiin: “FO KRAH DIIN”
595Please respect copyright.PENANAROgTlxGQOC
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.
595Please respect copyright.PENANAmXLK2Zps34
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.
595Please respect copyright.PENANArtgqAzuyNR
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.”
595Please respect copyright.PENANAFPHVAXbc4e
Raskeria: “What do you mean?”
595Please respect copyright.PENANAvIqCyBPiSw
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.”
595Please respect copyright.PENANA6OQMh3420a
Jake: “…Fine.”
595Please respect copyright.PENANAOxSRx21kdg
The other 2 nodded and got into position.
595Please respect copyright.PENANA3gXQDetoJu
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.
595Please respect copyright.PENANA0aCnQBgYAv
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.
595Please respect copyright.PENANAZj0aue3roz
Louise 2: “You got to be kidding me.”595Please respect copyright.PENANAy6BJs50EOm
595Please respect copyright.PENANApMUsvwZHpF
The Ravager started firing at everything below. Raskeria created another shield around everyone to block the heavy bullet fire.
595Please respect copyright.PENANArFABHxEP7X
Raskeria: “Dovahkiin, this is all you. I’ll focus on protecting everyone while you distract it enough to prevent it from firing.”
595Please respect copyright.PENANA4YmEO5vfg1
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.
595Please respect copyright.PENANAHUB2g4pN55
Despite Dovah’s best efforts though, Ravager wasn’t that bothered by it’s attacks. That was until Dovah started using more unique shouts.
595Please respect copyright.PENANA1wkcNnbX6U
Dovahkiin: “VEN GAAR NOS!”
595Please respect copyright.PENANA7IVj7KcZi1
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.
595Please respect copyright.PENANAvfmJjIovKi
Louise 2: “Great, bring it down quick! I can see where the core is! Focus your attacks on its head!”
595Please respect copyright.PENANADvkdIf4K9m
Raskeria: “I still need to keep the shield on Dovahkiin so I can’t attack.”
595Please respect copyright.PENANAezR0kJwdSH
Louise 2: “That’s a good thing, just focus on support.”
595Please respect copyright.PENANAPNFEbFFW2S
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.
595Please respect copyright.PENANAalwSMUUjdn
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.
595Please respect copyright.PENANAzv6SiE8ZGe
Raskeria: “Was that…magic?”
595Please respect copyright.PENANAiMmY5GEQpm
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.”
595Please respect copyright.PENANAOzNQZobjyw
Dova shrugged it off but still lost some ground. Jake on the other hand was on fire and falling.
595Please respect copyright.PENANACdap1jhOt9
Jake: ‘Of course, it had to use fire and lightning of all things.’
595Please respect copyright.PENANAOnxfGDH07C
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.
595Please respect copyright.PENANAM6vc5AoosC
It abandoned the dragon and went to delete the living weapon. But before it could, another welcomed surprise appeared. The final and winning variable.
595Please respect copyright.PENANAiX7f6O6Npk
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.
595Please respect copyright.PENANA4acY2D7DGZ
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.
595Please respect copyright.PENANAmABCF51AYp
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.
595Please respect copyright.PENANAXxHonfG3Tt
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.
595Please respect copyright.PENANAKpC8s6HizT
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.
595Please respect copyright.PENANAqg6VJRDaB5
Louise 2: “I don’t know who you are but if you can understand me, keep it down while I end this.”
595Please respect copyright.PENANANAF5JuOxac
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.
595Please respect copyright.PENANAG72DDzF05P
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.
595Please respect copyright.PENANANMfQ5HVc3Q
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.’
595Please respect copyright.PENANA3bzgapEILH
The distance between them became smaller.
595Please respect copyright.PENANAqrBTPKR1wf
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.
595Please respect copyright.PENANAEyI20MOVWY
20 meters
595Please respect copyright.PENANAUaAb9BZmtL
Arcs of pink electricity started to form around her.
595Please respect copyright.PENANA7lyczkS5kP
15 meters
595Please respect copyright.PENANAKawAA1eiKm
She opened her eyes; her vision was surrounded by plenty of warnings but she dismissed them.
595Please respect copyright.PENANACnUdmJYFec
10 meters
595Please respect copyright.PENANAfJyCIcZPvJ
Louise 2: “Adapt to this!”
595Please respect copyright.PENANAYjiJFZogMJ
5 meters
595Please respect copyright.PENANA27oLpuuNkT
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.
595Please respect copyright.PENANA3Tbf0xn0V1
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.
595Please respect copyright.PENANA2VPg8vt5IO
The sonic boom made it into everyone’s ears. Students screamed and even the fighters had to cover their ears as the ground quaked.
595Please respect copyright.PENANAZ66s34RiQs
The fighters aside from Jake ran up to the aftermath of the attack. Colbert also came running despite Aeterna’s warning.
595Please respect copyright.PENANAvzP8khJQ4e
Good news, the Ravager now sported a missing head. Bad news, behind the Ravager was a badly damaged Louise 2.
595Please respect copyright.PENANAIDdb7RoFou
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.
595Please respect copyright.PENANA8qHSHOH19U
Raskeria: “Okay, that looks terrible. But I can fix this.”
595Please respect copyright.PENANAGmcalCDJWU
She started to create ice to cool her down before applying healing magic. But before she could a voice stopped her.
595Please respect copyright.PENANAzx0f3Tu64U
“STOP, YOU’RE GOING TO KILL HER!”
595Please respect copyright.PENANAw9S4bW7XS6
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.
595Please respect copyright.PENANATbUD0KnscN
Colbert: “Stop, any closer and we’ll consider you an enemy!”
595Please respect copyright.PENANAaN4047EVMl
Raskeria: “I vote enemy, where was he when everything was going wrong?”
595Please respect copyright.PENANAbKeyLrTXee
Louise 2: “B-Bench? I-Is that…y-you?”
595Please respect copyright.PENANAbu8Pv1n7SB
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.
595Please respect copyright.PENANAdD7XbWbaXK
Colbert: “Miss Valliere!”
595Please respect copyright.PENANAuXFrIjSBvV
Louise 2: “Please…let Bench…come to me…professor.”
595Please respect copyright.PENANA5ydBUNKqHD
Raskeria: “But what about my magic? I can heal you good as new.”
595Please respect copyright.PENANACNoOuUnCaZ
Louise 2: “Don’t…I…d-don’t know…what effect it…will h-have.”
595Please respect copyright.PENANAG78zq3TUg8
Bench: “Listen to her, I know what to do. Trust me, she’s in good hands.”
595Please respect copyright.PENANAzLoC2YGsWH
Raskeria: “…Fine. This whole thing is beyond me anyway.”
595Please respect copyright.PENANAF2PKMcWxRn
Heeding his words, Raskeria and Colbert moved out of the way. Bench approached Louise 2 and a blue line scanned her entire being.
595Please respect copyright.PENANAJXABdOEUVW
Bench: “You’ve really done it this time Louise.”
595Please respect copyright.PENANAlh45cU0kLO
Louise 2: “Why does…it…matter…I destroyed…the Ravager.”
595Please respect copyright.PENANALSb6AqamQM
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.”
595Please respect copyright.PENANAvzcX56U2tD
Raskeria: ‘You mean what I was going to do?’
595Please respect copyright.PENANAkXEAv8PXPU
Louise 2: “Then would…this help?”
595Please respect copyright.PENANAWXm7HxjVJu
She asks while letting go of a red orb that was giving a low hum.
595Please respect copyright.PENANAg0Sr7YNpgP
Bench: “Is that what I think it is?”
595Please respect copyright.PENANAMuXZ9Wg0Hd
Louise 2: “Y-You bet…it is.”
595Please respect copyright.PENANAkU6W1JYpeX
A blue line passed over the orb from Bench.
595Please respect copyright.PENANAG1tSCAAPRz
Bench: “I can’t believe it, a Ravager core.”
595Please respect copyright.PENANAn72tdnre95
Raskeria: “You mean that’s what we were fighting to destroy? Why is it intact?”
595Please respect copyright.PENANAaX0xYEx1yg
Bench: “Because this might be the only sure way to save Louise.”
595Please respect copyright.PENANAnyh3BUBfgp
Raskeria: “Magic is out but the core of that monster is okay?”
595Please respect copyright.PENANAejvcbZYCzk
Dovahkiin: “I agree, destroy it.”
595Please respect copyright.PENANAqmtno9jI9h
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?”
595Please respect copyright.PENANAzHpqzQKdUT
Raskeria: “No but I’m keeping my eye on you…and that.”
595Please respect copyright.PENANAdr5YDOIizP
Bench: “By all means.”
595Please respect copyright.PENANA8fxHW7sxmU
Louise 2: “So…can you…d-do it Bench?”
595Please respect copyright.PENANA8hIQd3ktsS
Bench: “Do you know who you’re talking to?
595Please respect copyright.PENANAU5eQSud1Er
Louise 2: “That’s…good.”
595Please respect copyright.PENANA4PLx8aO23g
Louise 2 finally succumbs to her wounds and passes out. Bench looks to Colbert and gives a stern order.
595Please respect copyright.PENANAOgkIeKFgjv
Bench: “Take me to where your clinic is, I have a Hunter to repair!”
595Please respect copyright.PENANAZ6nk3Gkimv
Jake: “Wait a minute!”
595Please respect copyright.PENANAVdKmreExAr
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.
595Please respect copyright.PENANAfF3gfGDhX3
Bench: “What are you doing?!”
595Please respect copyright.PENANAaCXYgwcjdH
Jake: “Just because I helped defeat that thing doesn’t mean we’re allies. I need answers!”
595Please respect copyright.PENANADLsQ4KoRka
Raskeria: “Calm down Jake, do you really want to fight everyone here?”
595Please respect copyright.PENANAFYVyxIsXis
Jake: “…I’ll do what I have to.”
595Please respect copyright.PENANAQ14YgNImEj
Colbert: “W-What do you want to know?”
595Please respect copyright.PENANAsZZn33tKPG
Bench: “We don’t have time for this! Louise will die if Colbert doesn’t show me to the clinic.”
595Please respect copyright.PENANAG4sI9w7Axx
Jake: “I don’t care.”
595Please respect copyright.PENANAfoHaQE8kVO
Bench: “You-”
595Please respect copyright.PENANAjeroKy998o
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.
595Please respect copyright.PENANAQPQQYLJpvx
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.
595Please respect copyright.PENANArCmUqYjstn
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.
595Please respect copyright.PENANAro8WFXBfoh
“Can you understand me?”
595Please respect copyright.PENANAWabk0XF877
Raskeria: ‘A translation spell? Oh, he’s good.’
595Please respect copyright.PENANAuaseHiPGCr
Colbert: “Y-Yes.”
595Please respect copyright.PENANA6se011aaXQ
“Wonderful, my name is Zander and I’ll take them to the clinic.”
595Please respect copyright.PENANApSYEfvRH3S
Colbert: “But how? You don’t know the way.”
595Please respect copyright.PENANALlAZ5EAWIJ
Zander: “I’ll ask one of the students or the staff. I’m sure they’ll help.”
595Please respect copyright.PENANAVOB91Qm2we
With a slight twist of his wrist, Louise begins to float off the ground.
595Please respect copyright.PENANA58HkQbnlHb
Zander: “Shall we go Bench?”
595Please respect copyright.PENANAqqyuAfdqoH
Bench: “Yes, quickly now.”
595Please respect copyright.PENANA6OioDV417e
They begin to leave but before that Zander gives a sharp glare to Jake.
595Please respect copyright.PENANANvlLAhUiwT
Zander: “I hope I don’t have to come back here and deal with you Jake. I rather we be friends than enemies.”
595Please respect copyright.PENANA6Pwv2lAGd3
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.
595Please respect copyright.PENANAOzghb4Ceki
No one said a word until Zander was gone.
595Please respect copyright.PENANADhrTAI2oDm
Colbert: “Okay, so what do you want to know Jake.”
595Please respect copyright.PENANA46PDETGZbn
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…”
595Please respect copyright.PENANA5eLnGqke4g
Jake brings his blade a bit closer to Colbert which makes everyone tense up, ready for another fight.
595Please respect copyright.PENANAd90iHWtFVd
Jake: “You will take me back to New York.”
595Please respect copyright.PENANAMSK81LTvkK
Colbert: “I’m sorry but…there’s no way back. None that we know of.”
595Please respect copyright.PENANAdMc5usLN2O
The moment those words left his mouth, he felt the urge to slice off his head.
595Please respect copyright.PENANAnSSKpCaswJ
No way to get back to New York meant Blackwatch ran free and the only family he has left was in danger.
595Please respect copyright.PENANA6xGVq4N2sE
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.
595Please respect copyright.PENANA50nIogXyg4
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.
595Please respect copyright.PENANAujVE9yPemT
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!”
595Please respect copyright.PENANARr8sPmMDnL
Colbert: “Sir, I’m truly sorry but there is no way to reverse this.”
595Please respect copyright.PENANADYf4tcl1VH
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.
595Please respect copyright.PENANADjKe822K3D
Raskeria: “There might be a way.”
595Please respect copyright.PENANAIuF26D8SEV
Everyone turned toward the girl. Jake’s eyes widened with relief but also slow-cooking anger.
595Please respect copyright.PENANAukSnHy6dTJ
Jake: “Tell me.”
595Please respect copyright.PENANAfaSEjX0Fvc
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.”
595Please respect copyright.PENANA8kbaEmdfXt
Jake: “Then-”
595Please respect copyright.PENANAKxKqf9jO2G
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…”
595Please respect copyright.PENANAiTVhccBwyW
Jake: “Or?”
595Please respect copyright.PENANAV7GC9XAqiW
Raskeria: “Learn magic and go yourself.”
595Please respect copyright.PENANA15VEBHDNfl
Colbert: “Learn magic?”
595Please respect copyright.PENANAAMB6zYq6OF
Raskeria: “Yeah, it will be hard but it can be done.”
595Please respect copyright.PENANAhzrSMP4NO4
Jake: “…”
595Please respect copyright.PENANAjUozFtXr1J
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.
595Please respect copyright.PENANAO1po8DyDn4
But still, time is of the essence. He can’t be gone for long.
595Please respect copyright.PENANAWP42GX4HY9
Jake: “How long would it take for me to learn.”
595Please respect copyright.PENANAcJdPCwdWnR
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.”
595Please respect copyright.PENANArFWB6mqbRF
Jake: ‘Years!? No, I don’t have that kind of time. I’ll leave that as a backup.’
595Please respect copyright.PENANA0vUJIRgLV2
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.”
595Please respect copyright.PENANAPqpZ4bgVPe
Raskeria: “Sure, sure. Right now though, I’m tired. I’m going home and telling everyone what happened. See you. ‘gate’.”
595Please respect copyright.PENANAERWBnaSLtz
A rip in reality appears behind Raskeria. She yawns and goes through which causes it to close.
595Please respect copyright.PENANACAWPSTHDQt
Jake: ‘Tch, she better make good on our deal. Or I have another person on my list to kill here.’
595Please respect copyright.PENANAm4ct3P6J5K
Jake: *Sigh*
595Please respect copyright.PENANAvfsvGKlx7m
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.”
595Please respect copyright.PENANASme2RxtFPL
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.
595Please respect copyright.PENANAI8gedkzLBO
Colbert: “Well, you’re the last one. What will you do?”
595Please respect copyright.PENANAt1Y7gQpwqC
Dovahkiin: “Stay for now. Jake’s situation seemed more serious than mine so he can get the gate treatment first. Besides…”
595Please respect copyright.PENANAXWrZJNV2p0
Dovahkiin: ‘It’s not all Louise’s fault that I ended up here. Damn that dedric prince.’
595Please respect copyright.PENANAVVbkGS2gXT
Colbert: “Yes?”
595Please respect copyright.PENANAxVRhyeRyqN
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.”
595Please respect copyright.PENANAZOKF1KxKA7
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.
595Please respect copyright.PENANAGSfOBB4i8e
Colbert: “Brimir save us, what has Louise unleashed…”
595Please respect copyright.PENANAekE9OXQU4x
[Louise’s Room]
595Please respect copyright.PENANAilRqyXWzyu
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.
595Please respect copyright.PENANAxjG5Hvd6lc
She gently takes her to the bed and lies her down.
595Please respect copyright.PENANAaJQiNt7fcE
Aeterna: “Already, that power is drawing dangerous things to you.”
595Please respect copyright.PENANAcTuvWCDX9D
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.
595Please respect copyright.PENANA3fBXaMruGE
Aeterna: “Did she really expect me to sleep on that? I guess she was expecting an animal though.”
595Please respect copyright.PENANAJxkxAsClAa
She looks down at her body and remembers that she’s still wearing lingerie.
595Please respect copyright.PENANANdHcxvfAkj
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.”
595Please respect copyright.PENANAMQ0Lf8ha57
With that thought, Aeterna leaves the room.
595Please respect copyright.PENANAcE6Y5Qrob3
…
…
595Please respect copyright.PENANAwvLg9vtAf4
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.
595Please respect copyright.PENANA5vLustEh5l
‘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.’
595Please respect copyright.PENANABPorGF1ptm
‘Hehe, I’m getting excited. Sweet dreams Louise.’
595Please respect copyright.PENANADPRNOsWlvK
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.
595Please respect copyright.PENANAxesHCdOtyo
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.
595Please respect copyright.PENANAiKut86q3ap
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.
595Please respect copyright.PENANAlKaKQACLCW
Among the clouds and across the forest, more rips threaten to form.
595Please respect copyright.PENANARwTDq0efmN
‘Let the games begin.’

595Please respect copyright.PENANAquy1PFi1e9
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.
595Please respect copyright.PENANA9zR1pSFLQ5
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.
595Please respect copyright.PENANAxRvhysFF0I
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.
