Welcome, to my first fan fic. After years, I finally gave in and tried a few.
527Please respect copyright.PENANATnUEFPgRmV
Mostly crossovers.
527Please respect copyright.PENANAjKlP4prN8J
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.
527Please respect copyright.PENANApOGXEmJeUF
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.
527Please respect copyright.PENANAjUzBv6jNmq
They will be listed at the end of this one-shot.
527Please respect copyright.PENANAHwOj7kGnP7
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.
527Please respect copyright.PENANAJ5NgTVJ03x
This is version 1 after all. If I can perfect the foundation and people like it, then I can continue.
527Please respect copyright.PENANA8XSSNUsam9
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.
527Please respect copyright.PENANAksaZJ1tkRd
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.
527Please respect copyright.PENANAbkBwn4iGZT
With that out of the way, let’s dive into this slice of eternity in a moment.
527Please respect copyright.PENANArgXjNr9rgF
527Please respect copyright.PENANAdnEsZh0T7U
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.
527Please respect copyright.PENANAbrISxXI98I
Aside from that though, they were also anxious. Anxious about what kind of familiar they would get.
527Please respect copyright.PENANAiKZidQD0Gp
A summoned familiar mirrors their master’s personality and elemental affinity. Who knows what hidden secrets their familiars may accidentally reveal to everyone?
527Please respect copyright.PENANAv8SCR1iMDU
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.
527Please respect copyright.PENANAtb7b5IzAE7
Yes, all of them have tried and succeeded in summoning a familiar.
527Please respect copyright.PENANAoeQZhN7SpK
Well, all but one.
527Please respect copyright.PENANAvKLqAmjln9
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.
527Please respect copyright.PENANAiryYrWJJ11
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.
527Please respect copyright.PENANAKUJUCkOv5G
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.
527Please respect copyright.PENANAWP1TsSC9xv
Colbert: “All right then, has everyone had their turn?”
527Please respect copyright.PENANA0MGMUAfxgF
But the one to fully shatter her hopes was her bully and rival, Kirche von Zerbst. The busty chocolate beauty.
527Please respect copyright.PENANAVip01NjcqR
Kirche: “No, not quite. Ms. Valliere hasn’t done it.”
527Please respect copyright.PENANAI4tf3HSkr7
Louise: ‘Brimir, darn you Kirche.’
527Please respect copyright.PENANAG4usd9UCUq
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.
527Please respect copyright.PENANAfYCNsXSPJH
Maybe then, she’ll be respected and can finally deliver some good news to her family.
527Please respect copyright.PENANAfkkW88pap9
She goes to the summoning area and prepares to-
527Please respect copyright.PENANAGLgNI0KM3O
“Louise the zero.”
527Please respect copyright.PENANAKguroMNvV1
“What do you suppose she’ll summon”
527Please respect copyright.PENANAXkxBhaUHc5
“There’s no way she can summon anything. We’ll just have another explosion and nothing else.”
527Please respect copyright.PENANAkoolL8vqdP
Kirche: “With all your boasting, you should be able to summon up something more amazing than this. Right, Louise?”
527Please respect copyright.PENANAB3OzSLLcE3
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.
527Please respect copyright.PENANA35jClmtF88
Louise: “Well of course!”
527Please respect copyright.PENANAh2lUAtxrVg
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.
527Please respect copyright.PENANAFmRTgSKbf7
She didn’t know it then but, someone was listening to her prayers.
527Please respect copyright.PENANAymOtOWg8d2
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!”
527Please respect copyright.PENANAe5j288Ft9B
“And so the die is cast.”
527Please respect copyright.PENANAYrtTo1Whv6
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.
527Please respect copyright.PENANAVyILLBmwCV
…
…
527Please respect copyright.PENANAdS31rBXlGn
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.
527Please respect copyright.PENANAdPnhOShEme
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.
527Please respect copyright.PENANAc8pGCFMb1s
The students quickly collected themselves and began their favorite pass time.
527Please respect copyright.PENANAY26Tqrvpq5
“Hah, I knew it! Once a Zero always a Zero.”
527Please respect copyright.PENANAjhiYK9ieKk
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.
527Please respect copyright.PENANA04kFDCJmo8
The one most scared was Slyphid, the medium-sized blue dragon summoned by the petite blue-haired Tabitha.
527Please respect copyright.PENANA90CYBrmcKS
Tabitha: “What?”
527Please respect copyright.PENANAEQS0ZpzUDH
Her question brought Slyphid’s head around to look her in the eyes. With their intimate bond, Slyphid was able to respond telepathically.
527Please respect copyright.PENANAQearTXgIJJ
Slyphid: ‘I smell her! I’m Frightened! But…there’s…more than just her…a…Predator.’
527Please respect copyright.PENANAMbnyPblBv0
The panicked voice in her head startled Tabitha. For a rhyme dragon of all things to be frightened…
527Please respect copyright.PENANAcxNlO4qUI2
Tabitha: “What do you…mean?”
527Please respect copyright.PENANAbT3hcFbf5A
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.
527Please respect copyright.PENANAtLXAmLnxsc
Louise: ‘Wait!? Shadows?’
527Please respect copyright.PENANALIR1WH1fTs
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.
527Please respect copyright.PENANA7DTK4fhySu
When the smoke cleared, something completely unexpected awaited everyone. Not only did Louise summon a human but she summoned multiple familiars.
527Please respect copyright.PENANA8yoPFrVFKK
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.
527Please respect copyright.PENANAU7iUh6Q7uU
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.
527Please respect copyright.PENANARrjvinyfUS
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.
527Please respect copyright.PENANAVIof2AGzZE
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.
527Please respect copyright.PENANAvyr3eiMsof
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.
527Please respect copyright.PENANAd1WVfNmBxr
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.
527Please respect copyright.PENANAZCJnc8YG4G
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.
527Please respect copyright.PENANAno9hPmx0S5
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.
527Please respect copyright.PENANAnaeag0DvOJ
As for Louise, she just couldn’t look away. Especially after what happened next.
527Please respect copyright.PENANAjSauV9U519
“Kolo Zu’u, druv los tinvaak dovahzul?”
527Please respect copyright.PENANAjqbp9uPAVC
…
…527Please respect copyright.PENANAdsIDiYuk2W
527Please respect copyright.PENANAeURh2r1mSy
Kirche: “Did that dragon just…speak?”
527Please respect copyright.PENANAVuHAfquOrg
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.
527Please respect copyright.PENANAzanHyTnomq
After a few moments of conversation and looking around, they stopped and looked at Louise.
527Please respect copyright.PENANAGZxuQtfJ97
“Okay, who summoned us?”
527Please respect copyright.PENANAqIUgldaRhT
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.
527Please respect copyright.PENANA3CoXf5FUNT
Louise: “I-I did. My name is Louise Francoise Le Blanc de La Valliere.”527Please respect copyright.PENANA193zcaCYyV
527Please respect copyright.PENANAoHati0t9Q2
“Well hi Louise, my name is Raskreia or Rask for short. This dragon is named Dovahkiin, strange name I know.”
527Please respect copyright.PENANApav92hoNZ0
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.
527Please respect copyright.PENANAt1A8tjmdCG
527Please respect copyright.PENANAWqBYKULdf1
Raskreia: “Now, I have questions but first I think we should help the kid.”
527Please respect copyright.PENANAQGq8Cl7fG3
527Please respect copyright.PENANAs3UyC2bLH2
Colbert finally escaped his shock and agreed. He asks some students to carry the boy to the infirmary.
527Please respect copyright.PENANACMoZ3qAksW
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.
527Please respect copyright.PENANAk8vDIPmzv9
Colbert: ‘Who knows what could’ve happened if we delayed any further.’
527Please respect copyright.PENANAjjc3ejP8XP
“Ugh, what, is with the racket.”
527Please respect copyright.PENANAUelu2yL8no
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.
527Please respect copyright.PENANAwplBKLeSpM
“I slept in an inn in my underwear, and I wake up in a summoning circle in them. Ugh, what even?”
527Please respect copyright.PENANAhiXuQlDQg1
Raskreia: “Well, looks who’s awake.”
527Please respect copyright.PENANABMXMUYTByk
She sighs.527Please respect copyright.PENANASgVZSb9moW
527Please respect copyright.PENANAgzN0sy9Asi
“And I am surrounded by children and a strange dragon.”
527Please respect copyright.PENANAbfQP3si8QF
Colbert: “Since everyone is awake, not including the injured, we should proceed with the bonding ritual.”527Please respect copyright.PENANAuNNTwhuDWZ
527Please respect copyright.PENANAvZL1y0mPGB
Raskreia: “Sure, if you’re going to explain to us what in the nine hells is going on here exactly and where we are?”527Please respect copyright.PENANAJEfiNxIZ0s
527Please respect copyright.PENANASdJj6IISrO
At this, Louise answers before the man could.527Please respect copyright.PENANAekTAP2iD3A
527Please respect copyright.PENANAjfCOkuMnBj
Louise: “You’re here because I summoned you all to be my familiar with the summon servant spell, and I am your master now.”
527Please respect copyright.PENANAxQK4C9GqdE
Rask rolls her eyes while the other 2 had more animated responses.527Please respect copyright.PENANAyNsyoBU4qg
527Please respect copyright.PENANAlWsOW4OfoV
“Whoa, back the fuck up. Why should I be your familiar?”527Please respect copyright.PENANASppOafepRg
527Please respect copyright.PENANA3cWEahtkUT
Dovahkiin: “What do you mean by bonding?”527Please respect copyright.PENANAatkEY6i8xp
527Please respect copyright.PENANAA4N4sygGPD
Everyone except Rask blinked. That was in Tristainian.527Please respect copyright.PENANAulyUYgAlVQ
527Please respect copyright.PENANAooZBOmtihy
Dovahkiin: “Oh, so now my voice returns.”
527Please respect copyright.PENANApsLiuMYKTP
Colbert: “You can speak our language?”
527Please respect copyright.PENANAL9u8e9b2C8
Dovahkiin: “I can speak this language, but before I was…confused and spoke in native Dovahzul.”
527Please respect copyright.PENANA2Xh3RCvZwe
Raskreia: “Really? I guess I don’t need this anymore then.”
527Please respect copyright.PENANAdveVuzzuDZ
Rask puts the ring back in her bag.
527Please respect copyright.PENANAhQt661g0Vz
Colbert: “Dovahzul, I haven’t heard of that language.”
527Please respect copyright.PENANAt0laIL8pcZ
“Neither have I, strange.”
527Please respect copyright.PENANAhcERXGRgfw
Dovahkiin: “Enough of this, what do you mean by bonding?”
527Please respect copyright.PENANAl0mQeLJADs
Despite the group before her, Louise bravely stepped forward again.
527Please respect copyright.PENANAQXjDFtZ51o
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.”
527Please respect copyright.PENANApdwTxeHNVq
The reactions from all summoned present varied but none good.527Please respect copyright.PENANAGyD133f7na
527Please respect copyright.PENANADDmHLMJ3TQ
Raskreia: “I’m fine with getting summoned but getting branded like some animal, no thanks.”527Please respect copyright.PENANAmnJEt5N9gb
527Please respect copyright.PENANABc3ubg2a26
Louise’s mood quickly deteriorates but there’s still hope she thought. She summoned more than one, surely one would agree.
527Please respect copyright.PENANAp23MvliPoR
But that thought quickly faded away when the dragon growled. It drew itself up by stretching its wings down and glared at Louise.
527Please respect copyright.PENANATD64RfwvVF
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?”
527Please respect copyright.PENANA2TS6DJ76tg
Raskreia: ‘Oh no, they made the dragon mad. That’s never a good idea. No matter the plane.’
527Please respect copyright.PENANA91saaSsLIl
Colbert stepped in as Louise faltered and took several steps back.
527Please respect copyright.PENANAZS1pQmcxFo
Colbert: “It’s how the holy ritual has been performed for hundreds of years.”
527Please respect copyright.PENANAVITngXhZF3
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.”
527Please respect copyright.PENANA3LyeAJLEyq
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.
527Please respect copyright.PENANA8GolsUb5ZT
Dovahkiin: “I for one refuse to become anyone’s slave. I simply want to return to the life I lived before this all occurred.”
527Please respect copyright.PENANAikL4YcaFp8
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.”
527Please respect copyright.PENANAeaXUAYHEwK
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.’527Please respect copyright.PENANA0kPjo95Skq
527Please respect copyright.PENANAEI8u1SEqqr
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.
527Please respect copyright.PENANAcggGnTMlaN
She grips her wand tightly, wishing this was all a dream. Unbeknownst to her, there was one that considered her offer.
527Please respect copyright.PENANAGbtHgx8m3a
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.
527Please respect copyright.PENANASdXsAEylyY
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.
527Please respect copyright.PENANAB7pOStcfKe
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.527Please respect copyright.PENANAzwXqjFLeRv
527Please respect copyright.PENANAbPMESbzVvG
She knew intimately what happens in situations like that. Despite her previous obligations, the redhead made her choice.527Please respect copyright.PENANAFv8QxQQ6HR
527Please respect copyright.PENANAY6ei5Ff78d
“If a familiar is what you seek, then you shall have one. I agree to be yours.”
527Please respect copyright.PENANAFuY8vUU6M7
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.
527Please respect copyright.PENANA1BKmr20Cey
Dovahkiin: “You!? You would subject yourself as a slave to a child? Where is your pride as a Dovah?”
527Please respect copyright.PENANAja9xEKNNWT
“Dovah? I see, that's your word for it. So you can tell?”
527Please respect copyright.PENANA73uH5HUKaz
Dovahkiin: *Nod*
527Please respect copyright.PENANAC7v0y6OZrI
“I have my own reasons.”
527Please respect copyright.PENANAOEWlVau2Mf
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.
527Please respect copyright.PENANAkQajDwd8WK
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?
527Please respect copyright.PENANAVa5TUwVTTL
Raskreia: “Well I won’t judge you. It’s your choice.”
527Please respect copyright.PENANAmVio6C37BW
Louise reapplies her rule of steel mask and starts towards the redhead. She let out an indignant, resigned huff as she raised her wand.
527Please respect copyright.PENANA2rFUN4qQaM
Louise: “Consider yourself fortunate, commoner. Normally, you’d never in your life have a noble do this to you.”
527Please respect copyright.PENANA74eL4iCUmA
Louise: “My name is Louise Francoise Le Blanc de La Valliere. Oh, pentagon that rules the five elements, bless this individual and-”
527Please respect copyright.PENANAJ5UGQbXWrv
527Please respect copyright.PENANAbRjP27U3Ws
‘Did you think this was it?’
527Please respect copyright.PENANAwVpYAcyxCz
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.
527Please respect copyright.PENANAWuiZyYTDpX
“Louise!?”
527Please respect copyright.PENANAGDCTFdpJKP
Everyone, including the dragon, looks at Louise with concern. Before anyone could go to her and see what’s wrong, something else extraordinary happens.
527Please respect copyright.PENANAnsNeeGlDO1
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.
527Please respect copyright.PENANAQqfZm3LBmk
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.
527Please respect copyright.PENANAW97PVXUyvo
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.
527Please respect copyright.PENANAbCJKlJSVb2
Raskeria: “The hell was that?”
527Please respect copyright.PENANAXFCfHZSymL
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.
527Please respect copyright.PENANAw4n2eklH2P
Colbert: “A golem?”
527Please respect copyright.PENANAEzuFWfMPdk
Dovahkiin: “No, something more.”
527Please respect copyright.PENANAayaXoyJryO
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.
527Please respect copyright.PENANAw6TYKGULHz
Guiche: “Unhand me this instant!”
527Please respect copyright.PENANALUma6e1DEF
It didn’t respond instead it brought its other arm up and balled it into a fist.
527Please respect copyright.PENANAYSefelIZP7
Guiche: “You would dare hit a noble!? I tell you, my father is a gener-”
527Please respect copyright.PENANAwmXTQoHw5A
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.
527Please respect copyright.PENANA1BzOHIEyHT
Colbert: “Mister Grammont!”
527Please respect copyright.PENANAYe4QapsgJb
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.
527Please respect copyright.PENANAanOKCcy5DX
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.
527Please respect copyright.PENANAXb29KxTWzC
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.
527Please respect copyright.PENANAthAy2c6Ryn
Guiche: “L-Louise?”527Please respect copyright.PENANA7rp1a142ta
527Please respect copyright.PENANAwwUR6yFIzb
Colbert: “But how?”
527Please respect copyright.PENANAnBSfit8u58
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.
527Please respect copyright.PENANARMw7nG9Glj
Raskeria: “Can this day get any crazier?”
527Please respect copyright.PENANAICleYKxQ8H
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.
527Please respect copyright.PENANANxX3Pz4sCQ
Guiche: “How dare-”
527Please respect copyright.PENANAsG0VB5Z3DU
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.
527Please respect copyright.PENANAuz3Vp23QaY
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.
527Please respect copyright.PENANAqVGX2gDk0T
Regardless, Dova took the golem and threw it across the field away from the students.
527Please respect copyright.PENANAtenBlm0zIB
While this was happening, the redhead took Louise to a safe distance. She could help but she wanted to keep Louise safe for now.
527Please respect copyright.PENANAICiX4bNdAl
Raskeria: “That has to be among the strongest golems I’ve ever seen.”
527Please respect copyright.PENANAbgYziwI9Ui
Dovahkiin: “It’s like a Dwemer automation but more…advanced somehow.”
527Please respect copyright.PENANA2eYBRJ7gR7
Louise?: “I don’t remember you two when I left. Who are you two?”
527Please respect copyright.PENANAOFu6KXorbK
Raskeria: “Talk later, fight now!”

Dovahkiin: “YOL TOOR SHUL!”
527Please respect copyright.PENANACOmk4n6E28
The dragon breathes intense heat at the golem while Raskeria casts a strange spell that also shoots bolts of fire.
527Please respect copyright.PENANA7pIV3kp4Jz
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.
527Please respect copyright.PENANAgwWBuBoTU9
Raskeria: “Okay, that thing is too dangerous. Disintegrate.”
527Please respect copyright.PENANAW4nq7OL4Wz
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.
527Please respect copyright.PENANACROjS3DFGB
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.
527Please respect copyright.PENANAYYZQxVudRV
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.
527Please respect copyright.PENANAbRmCoa0IbK
This proved to be the right choice when the sound of lightning cracked from the cloud of dust.
527Please respect copyright.PENANA35Zgxp9Ric
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.
527Please respect copyright.PENANAnnCzTHGK1A
Raskeria: “Another one!? To think, I was just hanging out with friends and now I have to fight for my life.”
527Please respect copyright.PENANA1GG3C3Zo2n
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.
527Please respect copyright.PENANA7vyeFQL7Gf
Eventually, the sound of clicking reached her ears. She disassembled her shield and placed her hands behind her with her palms open.
527Please respect copyright.PENANAhwUctenW6P
Louise 2: ‘Here’s my chanc-”
527Please respect copyright.PENANAoYHkGuHE8M
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.
527Please respect copyright.PENANAvuIpmQnUIu
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.
527Please respect copyright.PENANAV74W7jKs1R
Raskeria: “Did Louise summon another one? I can’t deny it, that’s impressive.”
527Please respect copyright.PENANAJy0Us08URc
Louise 2: “Friend or foe?”
527Please respect copyright.PENANAQKd8Nz5TYE
Jake: “Depends on what happens next. The name’s Jake Logan Anderson, Jake will do.”
527Please respect copyright.PENANANtD703Q7cT
Dovahkiin: “FUS RO DAH”
527Please respect copyright.PENANAw41kVXSf1y
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.
527Please respect copyright.PENANAFHFjKvx8tM
Dovahkiin: ‘I need to get used to this body and fast. I hope that was the last of them.’
527Please respect copyright.PENANAv2bG87mmjs
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.
527Please respect copyright.PENANAlEfQeO2kxl
Louise 2: “Mr. Colbert!”
527Please respect copyright.PENANAttGSEiS7YL
This seemed to jog the man from his shock.
527Please respect copyright.PENANA3o3sDZD7qh
Colbert: “Um yes, what do you need Ms….you are Valliere right?”
527Please respect copyright.PENANASuQzzO6mCI
Louise 2: “Yes. Evacuate everyone from this place right now.”
527Please respect copyright.PENANAuQ203q3FHs
Raskeria: “Why? Isn’t it over?”
527Please respect copyright.PENANAuhKpgqS9R0
Jake: “No, it’s never that easy.”
527Please respect copyright.PENANAedqG71oW8N
Louise 2: “He’s right, this courtyard isn’t safe anymore.”
527Please respect copyright.PENANAiS14KH8Zi7
The doppelganger looked at the strangers she fought with.
527Please respect copyright.PENANAeSnUItVM7L
Louise 2: “Can trust one of you to help Colbert protect everyone.”
527Please respect copyright.PENANAzikI1hrga0
Before any of them could answer, the red-head answered.
527Please respect copyright.PENANAVkb5F9gCmP
“I’ll protect him along with…you I guess.”
527Please respect copyright.PENANAamxYZINc8g
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.
527Please respect copyright.PENANA9UgEidzE2h
Louise 2: “And who are you?”
527Please respect copyright.PENANAXNiIH4nyc9
“My name is Aeterna Flamma, your familiar.”
527Please respect copyright.PENANAoW23MQRI0U
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.
527Please respect copyright.PENANALswUqgJD6l
Dovahkiin: “Trust her, she is stronger than she looks.”
527Please respect copyright.PENANAzmPzec0w4Z
Louise: 2: “…Fine. I won’t argue with a dragon. Especially not now.”
527Please respect copyright.PENANAfX0y8yqpwW
Aeterna: “Good, come on everyone.”
527Please respect copyright.PENANANx7aDbF9aT
Colbert: “Y-You heard them, we can’t stay here any-”
527Please respect copyright.PENANA8U5xK2U5PN
Suddenly, the sound of something rattling made itself known throughout the courtyard. Louise 2 clicked her tongue.
527Please respect copyright.PENANAnpFvXxR7WR
Louise 2: “Go, NOW!”
527Please respect copyright.PENANAt2I95mUIgt
They followed her order, many out of fear of the sight before them. The 3 golems slowly but surely collapsed into strange black sand.
527Please respect copyright.PENANA5N0yMpKA89
Jake: “What the fuck?! Are these truly machines?”
527Please respect copyright.PENANAbQGOBOUGeA
Raskeria: “I’m starting to question that too.”
527Please respect copyright.PENANAnY9JLqiPnW
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.
527Please respect copyright.PENANA07rTrXTvtx
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.
527Please respect copyright.PENANAohh5x7UZOf
The arms were next. The left was a massive blade and the right was a massive claw hand.
527Please respect copyright.PENANAD3KpwEsazS
Finally, the head was bulky enough to discourage any beheading. But the most important part was the lines connecting to the chest area.
527Please respect copyright.PENANAR1OH2HNcgJ
Louise 2: ‘That’s its weak point.’
527Please respect copyright.PENANA8kKwQIMp3D
Its eyes finally light up and lock onto the fighters.
527Please respect copyright.PENANApmrYbYC0eo
Louise 2: “Just my luck, a Ravager.”
527Please respect copyright.PENANA7jb05XaFD8
Raskeria: “A what?”
527Please respect copyright.PENANAGNXGGQtX8K
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.
527Please respect copyright.PENANAgV1PHNpBrV
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.
527Please respect copyright.PENANAZfPONn6hKc
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.
527Please respect copyright.PENANAttAO8Tzqn6
Louise 2: “Go!”
527Please respect copyright.PENANAKDyzF1Ff6N
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.
527Please respect copyright.PENANAnuymnc03CS
Raskeria aided the group with various spells, mostly fire and stuff like ‘Create Pit’.
527Please respect copyright.PENANADn6PQUgkbz
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.
527Please respect copyright.PENANAQM0fXygv7d
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.
527Please respect copyright.PENANAGVt3ZXz14t
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.
527Please respect copyright.PENANAIWWnJ1941f
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.
527Please respect copyright.PENANAGGslaSgXF9
Raskeria: “Yeah, stay right there. Disintegrate.”
527Please respect copyright.PENANA2ujDUevbAt
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.
527Please respect copyright.PENANA82SjLYDGzV
Louise 2: “That won’t be enough! We need to destroy its core.”
527Please respect copyright.PENANAjTvG8pIVyj
Jake: “Where is it then!?”
527Please respect copyright.PENANAHcyvwNQ7Hu
Louise 2: “It was in its chest but who knows where it will be when it reforms.”
527Please respect copyright.PENANAvLPBu9k9Tn
They look back at Rask and she couldn’t help but rub the back of her head.
527Please respect copyright.PENANAK9ErgxZv1Q
Raskeria: “My bad.”
527Please respect copyright.PENANAcyHjLOPGiR
Jake: “Tch, it’s like fighting a machine version of me.”
527Please respect copyright.PENANApGYfeqemJ8
Dovahkiin: “FO KRAH DIIN”
527Please respect copyright.PENANAeZzEk7X2tL
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.
527Please respect copyright.PENANAWlZi9fBE3p
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.
527Please respect copyright.PENANAtw1E6VHfS6
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.”
527Please respect copyright.PENANApHGghKGTsl
Raskeria: “What do you mean?”
527Please respect copyright.PENANAQ3JxlMRkVP
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.”
527Please respect copyright.PENANAjiYzT00Lcr
Jake: “…Fine.”
527Please respect copyright.PENANAfIvxjRUcQO
The other 2 nodded and got into position.
527Please respect copyright.PENANAlQGrR324KG
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.
527Please respect copyright.PENANAA5d1cpLgA5
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.
527Please respect copyright.PENANAKXomaldrBg
Louise 2: “You got to be kidding me.”527Please respect copyright.PENANAdiuiOfNEPt
527Please respect copyright.PENANA9FsfGbpjMK
The Ravager started firing at everything below. Raskeria created another shield around everyone to block the heavy bullet fire.
527Please respect copyright.PENANAe3JLC8w64r
Raskeria: “Dovahkiin, this is all you. I’ll focus on protecting everyone while you distract it enough to prevent it from firing.”
527Please respect copyright.PENANAmxwtgDuovb
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.
527Please respect copyright.PENANAj2lqolKXeK
Despite Dovah’s best efforts though, Ravager wasn’t that bothered by it’s attacks. That was until Dovah started using more unique shouts.
527Please respect copyright.PENANAePZnMhDeOE
Dovahkiin: “VEN GAAR NOS!”
527Please respect copyright.PENANAExq7mqwwlE
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.
527Please respect copyright.PENANALMMNTW4LB7
Louise 2: “Great, bring it down quick! I can see where the core is! Focus your attacks on its head!”
527Please respect copyright.PENANAgP8BS2OZJI
Raskeria: “I still need to keep the shield on Dovahkiin so I can’t attack.”
527Please respect copyright.PENANAJ55c2LHMW9
Louise 2: “That’s a good thing, just focus on support.”
527Please respect copyright.PENANAewhuqK9Jzf
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.
527Please respect copyright.PENANA65pvIuTXfN
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.
527Please respect copyright.PENANACzH8B9svfO
Raskeria: “Was that…magic?”
527Please respect copyright.PENANAsbFs3scohq
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.”
527Please respect copyright.PENANAXpEZd05o2i
Dova shrugged it off but still lost some ground. Jake on the other hand was on fire and falling.
527Please respect copyright.PENANA0dxjP1DPAv
Jake: ‘Of course, it had to use fire and lightning of all things.’
527Please respect copyright.PENANAXgWibyTUif
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.
527Please respect copyright.PENANAt4b7zKikVi
It abandoned the dragon and went to delete the living weapon. But before it could, another welcomed surprise appeared. The final and winning variable.
527Please respect copyright.PENANAdjIpRdGKPw
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.
527Please respect copyright.PENANAcDmVMXByjU
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.
527Please respect copyright.PENANAgboBkVGADV
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.
527Please respect copyright.PENANAzFATenauhS
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.
527Please respect copyright.PENANAMyhZc5VOW4
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.
527Please respect copyright.PENANAKBu7istSji
Louise 2: “I don’t know who you are but if you can understand me, keep it down while I end this.”
527Please respect copyright.PENANAr2ikAfMj7M
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.
527Please respect copyright.PENANAWtFo0eSuOr
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.
527Please respect copyright.PENANAK9Jt4E07wl
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.’
527Please respect copyright.PENANAP5IjVfLhO1
The distance between them became smaller.
527Please respect copyright.PENANAfmWCag6fh7
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.
527Please respect copyright.PENANA2u8TdNn26i
20 meters
527Please respect copyright.PENANAG3G9LsJd5Z
Arcs of pink electricity started to form around her.
527Please respect copyright.PENANAN1Z52VRhzM
15 meters
527Please respect copyright.PENANAb4EmOEt4yG
She opened her eyes; her vision was surrounded by plenty of warnings but she dismissed them.
527Please respect copyright.PENANAchdVbpIhNS
10 meters
527Please respect copyright.PENANAbjEa0QXUDy
Louise 2: “Adapt to this!”
527Please respect copyright.PENANAikhZ1YZHCU
5 meters
527Please respect copyright.PENANA2Z2ozzbiWv
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.
527Please respect copyright.PENANACyLuKp1916
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.
527Please respect copyright.PENANAN2SReb0CMZ
The sonic boom made it into everyone’s ears. Students screamed and even the fighters had to cover their ears as the ground quaked.
527Please respect copyright.PENANAMgeNWI7gLt
The fighters aside from Jake ran up to the aftermath of the attack. Colbert also came running despite Aeterna’s warning.
527Please respect copyright.PENANAZlfsyzTegP
Good news, the Ravager now sported a missing head. Bad news, behind the Ravager was a badly damaged Louise 2.
527Please respect copyright.PENANAcAGKB1hBVQ
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.
527Please respect copyright.PENANAXRoO97GRrX
Raskeria: “Okay, that looks terrible. But I can fix this.”
527Please respect copyright.PENANAY1dVyNtJ2V
She started to create ice to cool her down before applying healing magic. But before she could a voice stopped her.
527Please respect copyright.PENANAYjJPOjVFsH
“STOP, YOU’RE GOING TO KILL HER!”
527Please respect copyright.PENANAv3ZAqdxKxe
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.
527Please respect copyright.PENANAgQngCVLFCo
Colbert: “Stop, any closer and we’ll consider you an enemy!”
527Please respect copyright.PENANA97OkvtPZLq
Raskeria: “I vote enemy, where was he when everything was going wrong?”
527Please respect copyright.PENANAzyopdPGCxb
Louise 2: “B-Bench? I-Is that…y-you?”
527Please respect copyright.PENANAmLJ7XNGL31
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.
527Please respect copyright.PENANA1OmPNX2yic
Colbert: “Miss Valliere!”
527Please respect copyright.PENANArFQ4Tqg6pi
Louise 2: “Please…let Bench…come to me…professor.”
527Please respect copyright.PENANA1yE5TT2dvG
Raskeria: “But what about my magic? I can heal you good as new.”
527Please respect copyright.PENANAXgRl1YYxZc
Louise 2: “Don’t…I…d-don’t know…what effect it…will h-have.”
527Please respect copyright.PENANAdNDWEgXPnU
Bench: “Listen to her, I know what to do. Trust me, she’s in good hands.”
527Please respect copyright.PENANA409soBBYNM
Raskeria: “…Fine. This whole thing is beyond me anyway.”
527Please respect copyright.PENANAsipRoHzwir
Heeding his words, Raskeria and Colbert moved out of the way. Bench approached Louise 2 and a blue line scanned her entire being.
527Please respect copyright.PENANAJc4r0y3nEC
Bench: “You’ve really done it this time Louise.”
527Please respect copyright.PENANAEUAEx24dt4
Louise 2: “Why does…it…matter…I destroyed…the Ravager.”
527Please respect copyright.PENANAhhuEczcjRk
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.”
527Please respect copyright.PENANABW3PSJWzR7
Raskeria: ‘You mean what I was going to do?’
527Please respect copyright.PENANAT6zvY0KnKC
Louise 2: “Then would…this help?”
527Please respect copyright.PENANANYjUB5LmHj
She asks while letting go of a red orb that was giving a low hum.
527Please respect copyright.PENANAX59JXkPZYD
Bench: “Is that what I think it is?”
527Please respect copyright.PENANAfiTVhVJnct
Louise 2: “Y-You bet…it is.”
527Please respect copyright.PENANAiFtAQj2F9U
A blue line passed over the orb from Bench.
527Please respect copyright.PENANA5T9iIAcxC1
Bench: “I can’t believe it, a Ravager core.”
527Please respect copyright.PENANAFrhKDyPPIs
Raskeria: “You mean that’s what we were fighting to destroy? Why is it intact?”
527Please respect copyright.PENANAVo4DNvADBL
Bench: “Because this might be the only sure way to save Louise.”
527Please respect copyright.PENANAYMfd03xWG1
Raskeria: “Magic is out but the core of that monster is okay?”
527Please respect copyright.PENANAXNRTUWPeFi
Dovahkiin: “I agree, destroy it.”
527Please respect copyright.PENANAOJ9tgvJMF1
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?”
527Please respect copyright.PENANAe4Zfi5EoBY
Raskeria: “No but I’m keeping my eye on you…and that.”
527Please respect copyright.PENANAkGm2HsnT8I
Bench: “By all means.”
527Please respect copyright.PENANAlc59OGZ8a5
Louise 2: “So…can you…d-do it Bench?”
527Please respect copyright.PENANANgylg6iMwn
Bench: “Do you know who you’re talking to?
527Please respect copyright.PENANAUebE0BQUsD
Louise 2: “That’s…good.”
527Please respect copyright.PENANA8Ij0UJ8Rcu
Louise 2 finally succumbs to her wounds and passes out. Bench looks to Colbert and gives a stern order.
527Please respect copyright.PENANAsjQzfUFQVc
Bench: “Take me to where your clinic is, I have a Hunter to repair!”
527Please respect copyright.PENANAY8iFafk9K4
Jake: “Wait a minute!”
527Please respect copyright.PENANARhaFHLw7j8
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.
527Please respect copyright.PENANAId2mXDXjTk
Bench: “What are you doing?!”
527Please respect copyright.PENANAmKl9BzWLoz
Jake: “Just because I helped defeat that thing doesn’t mean we’re allies. I need answers!”
527Please respect copyright.PENANAIB7WXigQc6
Raskeria: “Calm down Jake, do you really want to fight everyone here?”
527Please respect copyright.PENANAa4ydT2Mwce
Jake: “…I’ll do what I have to.”
527Please respect copyright.PENANA5NoWPWyiIH
Colbert: “W-What do you want to know?”
527Please respect copyright.PENANAu8wfypARqC
Bench: “We don’t have time for this! Louise will die if Colbert doesn’t show me to the clinic.”
527Please respect copyright.PENANA8aAQEflBe1
Jake: “I don’t care.”
527Please respect copyright.PENANAnVqhUcRcTK
Bench: “You-”
527Please respect copyright.PENANAA9dvYq8q2c
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.
527Please respect copyright.PENANAhDPRArqp35
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.
527Please respect copyright.PENANAD11NkxGoa6
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.
527Please respect copyright.PENANAStuHLSQfCK
“Can you understand me?”
527Please respect copyright.PENANArBXFrsi3X0
Raskeria: ‘A translation spell? Oh, he’s good.’
527Please respect copyright.PENANAp0zwX2nVGu
Colbert: “Y-Yes.”
527Please respect copyright.PENANA30cNVLe6FF
“Wonderful, my name is Zander and I’ll take them to the clinic.”
527Please respect copyright.PENANAxvwgy8oVrP
Colbert: “But how? You don’t know the way.”
527Please respect copyright.PENANATPtTmrkG3F
Zander: “I’ll ask one of the students or the staff. I’m sure they’ll help.”
527Please respect copyright.PENANAaZSOIrhr3t
With a slight twist of his wrist, Louise begins to float off the ground.
527Please respect copyright.PENANA5LNbfaDZsB
Zander: “Shall we go Bench?”
527Please respect copyright.PENANAuQgVWhsHPJ
Bench: “Yes, quickly now.”
527Please respect copyright.PENANAWU3oHhi5mz
They begin to leave but before that Zander gives a sharp glare to Jake.
527Please respect copyright.PENANAEEtjeYKvXa
Zander: “I hope I don’t have to come back here and deal with you Jake. I rather we be friends than enemies.”
527Please respect copyright.PENANAStVatZ8ymz
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.
527Please respect copyright.PENANAshkQwPjMjc
No one said a word until Zander was gone.
527Please respect copyright.PENANAkSrofwXyQw
Colbert: “Okay, so what do you want to know Jake.”
527Please respect copyright.PENANAvHDoIWUCxs
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…”
527Please respect copyright.PENANAFGsBWRukKy
Jake brings his blade a bit closer to Colbert which makes everyone tense up, ready for another fight.
527Please respect copyright.PENANATVM6Bz05Vs
Jake: “You will take me back to New York.”
527Please respect copyright.PENANAzQtgadzuEK
Colbert: “I’m sorry but…there’s no way back. None that we know of.”
527Please respect copyright.PENANAyGads11wbF
The moment those words left his mouth, he felt the urge to slice off his head.
527Please respect copyright.PENANA6tGoJeDmz5
No way to get back to New York meant Blackwatch ran free and the only family he has left was in danger.
527Please respect copyright.PENANABYv612uPSX
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.
527Please respect copyright.PENANA6ZlipdvMcA
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.
527Please respect copyright.PENANAFrKt3JbRox
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!”
527Please respect copyright.PENANAagII1ziTPQ
Colbert: “Sir, I’m truly sorry but there is no way to reverse this.”
527Please respect copyright.PENANAzruebiYeXg
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.
527Please respect copyright.PENANAISknEXfddS
Raskeria: “There might be a way.”
527Please respect copyright.PENANA3YeGG4M0o6
Everyone turned toward the girl. Jake’s eyes widened with relief but also slow-cooking anger.
527Please respect copyright.PENANAz2thFkCbZv
Jake: “Tell me.”
527Please respect copyright.PENANANeIWZ28DhF
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.”
527Please respect copyright.PENANAwijCLjda6b
Jake: “Then-”
527Please respect copyright.PENANArd79yjyHjS
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…”
527Please respect copyright.PENANA6YfwiZxe7E
Jake: “Or?”
527Please respect copyright.PENANA2YJ3T508UN
Raskeria: “Learn magic and go yourself.”
527Please respect copyright.PENANAdgDPVFlFmN
Colbert: “Learn magic?”
527Please respect copyright.PENANAEfCH0NUU04
Raskeria: “Yeah, it will be hard but it can be done.”
527Please respect copyright.PENANALu7Malhp1B
Jake: “…”
527Please respect copyright.PENANAHr4hrlTMdN
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.
527Please respect copyright.PENANAVkLOKRfHeC
But still, time is of the essence. He can’t be gone for long.
527Please respect copyright.PENANAnqvY1ocQrQ
Jake: “How long would it take for me to learn.”
527Please respect copyright.PENANA760JFCeui6
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.”
527Please respect copyright.PENANABcGqqz8SQn
Jake: ‘Years!? No, I don’t have that kind of time. I’ll leave that as a backup.’
527Please respect copyright.PENANAUJHRgvjF0t
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.”
527Please respect copyright.PENANAkalp09ZxiX
Raskeria: “Sure, sure. Right now though, I’m tired. I’m going home and telling everyone what happened. See you. ‘gate’.”
527Please respect copyright.PENANAqPfstsgfp5
A rip in reality appears behind Raskeria. She yawns and goes through which causes it to close.
527Please respect copyright.PENANAIeiNpkEAYc
Jake: ‘Tch, she better make good on our deal. Or I have another person on my list to kill here.’
527Please respect copyright.PENANARtDoMYUgrZ
Jake: *Sigh*
527Please respect copyright.PENANA3EESqziDCU
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.”
527Please respect copyright.PENANAGgTNqgiADC
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.
527Please respect copyright.PENANAwUWcBp66Fp
Colbert: “Well, you’re the last one. What will you do?”
527Please respect copyright.PENANAYFuV8qLxkl
Dovahkiin: “Stay for now. Jake’s situation seemed more serious than mine so he can get the gate treatment first. Besides…”
527Please respect copyright.PENANAvGd2teYK01
Dovahkiin: ‘It’s not all Louise’s fault that I ended up here. Damn that dedric prince.’
527Please respect copyright.PENANA6rN5E9BmAO
Colbert: “Yes?”
527Please respect copyright.PENANALPt6bgjOF5
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.”
527Please respect copyright.PENANARSSm0woNre
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.
527Please respect copyright.PENANAXBToxrvXy1
Colbert: “Brimir save us, what has Louise unleashed…”
527Please respect copyright.PENANAO09hiD0860
[Louise’s Room]
527Please respect copyright.PENANAA3XmRg1Xlf
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.
527Please respect copyright.PENANAuJf3axc4DT
She gently takes her to the bed and lies her down.
527Please respect copyright.PENANA45JGIIIZM8
Aeterna: “Already, that power is drawing dangerous things to you.”
527Please respect copyright.PENANAcLziwUj2xD
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.
527Please respect copyright.PENANAMvxtgw1gtL
Aeterna: “Did she really expect me to sleep on that? I guess she was expecting an animal though.”
527Please respect copyright.PENANAcNzWVFtieS
She looks down at her body and remembers that she’s still wearing lingerie.
527Please respect copyright.PENANAFvjNYS9xdl
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.”
527Please respect copyright.PENANADkzbIWp3HX
With that thought, Aeterna leaves the room.
527Please respect copyright.PENANAkk033M6JHd
…
…
527Please respect copyright.PENANAAVIWaiPrm8
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.
527Please respect copyright.PENANACtg69rImXn
‘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.’
527Please respect copyright.PENANARYrqr1tENs
‘Hehe, I’m getting excited. Sweet dreams Louise.’
527Please respect copyright.PENANA1rO6K7T5ee
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.
527Please respect copyright.PENANAKv6DkcbKL5
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.
527Please respect copyright.PENANAqV5FSzTJmA
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.
527Please respect copyright.PENANAwNxGVx2gch
Among the clouds and across the forest, more rips threaten to form.
527Please respect copyright.PENANARY7hNsUbYd
‘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.
527Please respect copyright.PENANA8oUMBzX1rK
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.
527Please respect copyright.PENANASLw65RYbNL
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.
