Tech: ‘The hell is happening…to me…’
351Please respect copyright.PENANAJqjgIaTIL6
351Please respect copyright.PENANAe2DyHEEyD5
Ever since yesterday, Tech felt weak and closer to death than he’s ever felt. The nanobathes and other healing procedures are only slowing whatever is happening.
351Please respect copyright.PENANAv5KlVT6F4y
351Please respect copyright.PENANA1FClM7FuRD
The lack of sleep is only making things worse. Doesn’t sound scientific but he felt that if he did fall asleep, he wouldn’t wake up.
351Please respect copyright.PENANAJGB1jmcbnI
351Please respect copyright.PENANAISII4FZbTB
So Tech is using all of his energy to try and isolate the cause of his condition. But his mind is getting weaker by the minute and the act of keying commands is putting further strain on his body.
351Please respect copyright.PENANATG0QGrilBT
351Please respect copyright.PENANAZA66r6d4cv
Tech: ‘This…is…not…how I’ll…go out.’
351Please respect copyright.PENANAdNvZSDuCWk
351Please respect copyright.PENANA8XWFlAPriP
Before succumbing to whatever is happening, he hits a red button on his keyboard. The last thing he hears before blacking out is the emergency alarm and the activation of one of his latest creations.
351Please respect copyright.PENANA0bN3I6IMVO
351Please respect copyright.PENANAP0gUNNF1wp
Dove hasn’t had a good rest like this in a very long time. Tech might be a bit weird when it came to his tastes in design but he delivered on her room. The bed was like sleeping on a cloud.
351Please respect copyright.PENANAH9e3byIs0k
351Please respect copyright.PENANAZmBULsJpnh
So when the alarm slammed into her ears, she was tempted to ignore it. But her battle instincts and the feeling of dread demanded her to get up.
351Please respect copyright.PENANAxXxg1gyX37
351Please respect copyright.PENANAKetbNyfXKA
Dove: “What is happening? Why is everything red?”
351Please respect copyright.PENANAh0V6DI103Z
351Please respect copyright.PENANACgfXudyFTn
Her door suddenly opened and she was ready to blow the intruder away. That was until she recognized it as one of Tech’s flying golems. But it was what it said that made her tense.
351Please respect copyright.PENANAylddjsP6nM
351Please respect copyright.PENANAfyoX2ZdnMf
“EMERGENCY. CREATOR IN CRITICAL CONDITION. ASSISTANCE REQUIRED.”
351Please respect copyright.PENANAX582a5moAS
351Please respect copyright.PENANAxDBMS9Ccym
Dove: “Take me to him!”
351Please respect copyright.PENANAbI4hV0c5Tb
351Please respect copyright.PENANAvGClkf3yxE
No more words were needed, the golem flew toward where Tech was. Dove easily kept up and subconsciously prepared the best healing spell she had.
351Please respect copyright.PENANAnZKEEGnCrf
351Please respect copyright.PENANAhhCEmBpTdd
Dove: ‘Screw your beliefs on magic, I’m not letting you die Tech.’
351Please respect copyright.PENANA91EuxsgQ9W
351Please respect copyright.PENANAz3qc9d4vqE
It didn’t take long to get to Tech’s room. The sight wasn’t good. Tech was faced down on the ground, pale, barely breathing and the steel plates on him was glowing red.
351Please respect copyright.PENANAChGXTJYDub
351Please respect copyright.PENANAHCfkfUazbo
Not wasting time, Dove turned him over and used Healing Hands on his body. Every 10 seconds she would switch to Heal Other to deliver a more powerful burst of healing before returning to Healing Hands.
351Please respect copyright.PENANAGnM5fWv6wT
351Please respect copyright.PENANA6ZS8HWQHvG
A warm golden light enveloped his body but…it wasn’t working well. It was like whatever was affecting him was fighting against her magic. Only magic could fight against magic like this.
351Please respect copyright.PENANA8m6rWPs8Ul
351Please respect copyright.PENANAE74j4EeF6R
Dove: ‘But who? No, that’s not important right now.’
351Please respect copyright.PENANAUBdP7ezh8d
351Please respect copyright.PENANAeGkHWHblsM
Dove turns to the floating golem before giving her orders.
351Please respect copyright.PENANAdAeZc1yc5T
351Please respect copyright.PENANA7SPly8ymsJ
Dove: “Golem I-
351Please respect copyright.PENANAn0d1AK5hL0
351Please respect copyright.PENANAWPFkHYPuOr
Doctor: “THIS UNIT IS CALLED DOCTOR.”
351Please respect copyright.PENANAgk8kmZL98Y
351Please respect copyright.PENANA5TUBpTdkNl
Dove: “Doctor, I need to stay with Tech and continue healing him. But I don’t have infinite magicka and the spell affecting him is powerful. I need you to get Flamma or Zander here now!”
351Please respect copyright.PENANAT28DDtDH0I
351Please respect copyright.PENANAX4NCNpbkdZ
Doctor: “ACKNOWLEDGED.”
351Please respect copyright.PENANAS5kd6bvGZs
351Please respect copyright.PENANAF3IzQa8mzo
With that, the flying golem left to get the needed assistance.
351Please respect copyright.PENANA3WQf5UHCI4
351Please respect copyright.PENANAqjte16bYN9
Dove: “Hold on Tech, help is coming.”
351Please respect copyright.PENANAOnS2nvK3y6
351Please respect copyright.PENANA35US2MKro4
Flamma: ‘You know, maybe I should have took the bed…’
351Please respect copyright.PENANAuRctplHgYD
351Please respect copyright.PENANAcowhGT9MaZ
She may be a dragon goddesses but sleeping on hay is never pleasant. She hasn’t even had a chance to spread her wings so the soreness was especially bad.
351Please respect copyright.PENANAuUsE2oblAa
351Please respect copyright.PENANA3Xue7c7NB1
But that discomfort left when she noticed something. Louise was up and looking at the rising sun with an unreadable expression.
351Please respect copyright.PENANAbvvI509dhF
351Please respect copyright.PENANAmhy69XrX2q
Flamma: “Louise, are you alright?”
351Please respect copyright.PENANAL8d3HKyvCl
351Please respect copyright.PENANAaZCS1wFf0b
A slight nervous jump, one she tried to cover but Flamma caught it.
351Please respect copyright.PENANAe78XeIExPS
351Please respect copyright.PENANAiGTpbjWXzx
Louise: “Of course, it was just what we spoke about yesterday. It’s still a lot to take in.”
351Please respect copyright.PENANA8VGDvZ7J7x
351Please respect copyright.PENANAN6Z377ad9z
Flamma: ‘I only told her about how I was worshiped by some civilizations once, long ago. Nothing about the champions I blessed or how they betrayed me. Or how this world seems so similar to my own or her own hidden power. Her mind shouldn’t have been blown that hard.’
351Please respect copyright.PENANAIPhSA4rb4c
351Please respect copyright.PENANA5ATT6NHqZm
Flamma: “Are you sure? I’m here for you, you know.”
351Please respect copyright.PENANABMBm0StGDO
351Please respect copyright.PENANAdZTP9FzvtG
That only made Louise slightly frown.
351Please respect copyright.PENANAUwTM8NTSOC
351Please respect copyright.PENANAQabmqELDBw
Louise: “I know.”
351Please respect copyright.PENANA8eICU3Tqo5
351Please respect copyright.PENANAexBJU03mRM
An awkward silence filled room. Flamma wanted to say something but her tongue was tied. Something was wrong but she couldn’t tell what. But some hope slipped in when Louise decided to break the silence.
351Please respect copyright.PENANALlLuSCSz9r
351Please respect copyright.PENANAYByyyz0TyR
Louise: “T-Today is the day of void, a free day. We could-”
351Please respect copyright.PENANAiLeiQFumbX
351Please respect copyright.PENANAPnzgc0wgpj
Before she could finish, a flying golem crashed through the window, sending glass everywhere. Faster than Louise could react, Flamma was in front of her in case any glass hit her.
351Please respect copyright.PENANAdn0d1hKyFe
351Please respect copyright.PENANAcwZ9r8vmEU
Flamma: “The hell!”
351Please respect copyright.PENANAtSsQsNGhf2
351Please respect copyright.PENANAiOQbHSNI83
Doctor: ““EMERGENCY. CREATOR IN CRITICAL CONDITION. ASSISTANCE REQUESTED BY ALLY DOVE.”
351Please respect copyright.PENANA2vP4wP6uFu
351Please respect copyright.PENANARYUtpU7mnY
Flamma: “Tech…”
351Please respect copyright.PENANACdI6phMLPD
351Please respect copyright.PENANAT4GpKZZpM2
Flamma immediately let go of Louise, went to the window and prepared to stretch out her wings for a soft landing. But first…
351Please respect copyright.PENANAyUUrkgYWto
351Please respect copyright.PENANA7HA1vrBkA6
Flamma: “Louise, don’t tell Siesta. I wouldn’t want her to worry herself to death. I’ll make sure Tech is alright. But just in case, find Zander.”
351Please respect copyright.PENANA0LBXJ1cqcA
351Please respect copyright.PENANApuPJanfCYC
Doctor: “THIS UNIT WILL ACCOMPLISH THAT TASK.”
351Please respect copyright.PENANAMp69Yt5Tzn
351Please respect copyright.PENANAjzPV0o3Kyy
It says before flying out the window in search of Zander.
351Please respect copyright.PENANA9lqvm1qqSc
351Please respect copyright.PENANAkeTLkMviPc
Flamma: “Oh…well…just don’t tell Siesta then. Darn it, just when we need Raskreia. I’m sure she has some healing spells.”
351Please respect copyright.PENANAV1Ccs5nKmZ
351Please respect copyright.PENANAXFwIxree6O
With that, Flamma jumped out the window, aiming for Tech’s base. Unbeknownst to her though, the shadows of Louise’s room were moving.
351Please respect copyright.PENANAkBdrEpbiQl
351Please respect copyright.PENANANhWr6krWHm
Aeron: “He’s still alive? Impressive.”
351Please respect copyright.PENANAbe1lt5RABp
351Please respect copyright.PENANAz0hprcFeCm
Louise spun around to see Aeron in the shadows.
351Please respect copyright.PENANANw8cP6BdkX
351Please respect copyright.PENANAQs4uynWin7
Louise: “You did this!?”
351Please respect copyright.PENANABnlK0z5iUS
351Please respect copyright.PENANAakyRYbq2JO
Aeron: “I wanted to surprise Siesta with Tech’s reanimated corpse but it seems I underestimated his ability to stay alive. But it seems he will die soon enough. Good idea by the way.”
351Please respect copyright.PENANA3AtDp8cuux
351Please respect copyright.PENANAJ84cHStJ3S
Louise: “Huh?”
351Please respect copyright.PENANAZsnoV5BHbf
351Please respect copyright.PENANAqBZHmyzkUF
Aeron: “This free day offers us a good chance. I’m even surprised that you were going to suggest the same thing.”
351Please respect copyright.PENANAQUpHFc3cbj
351Please respect copyright.PENANAW8NDusxE2e
Louise: “What do you mean?”
351Please respect copyright.PENANAtEU8mDIXns
351Please respect copyright.PENANAtR0h4ALmVV
Aeron: “Don’t plan innocent. You were planning on learning more about Flamma for your future battle with her. Gathering information is important when fighting someone superior.”
351Please respect copyright.PENANAMDvT1i92av
351Please respect copyright.PENANA3LSr9Vfgbv
Louise: “That’s-”
351Please respect copyright.PENANAH0cifHa8wz
351Please respect copyright.PENANATF0iG51guw
Aeron: “Good call. Do that while I teach Siesta. Then when you get back, I’ll do the same for you. But be warned, my methods of teaching aren’t for the weak willed.”
351Please respect copyright.PENANA92MXOxPs8j
351Please respect copyright.PENANAKwJECdlAO9
With that, Aeron faded into the shadows, leaving Louise in the fog of indecision.
351Please respect copyright.PENANA39TLw41aWh
351Please respect copyright.PENANAOK3DpO5MWY
She didn’t want to get up from her bed. Deep down, she could feel that today would be another test of her heart.
351Please respect copyright.PENANAjVqCDkUg5O
351Please respect copyright.PENANAd9yeARa93X
He knew something would eventually happen. This was suppose to be a vacation of sorts but the wheels of fate continue to mess with him.
351Please respect copyright.PENANAxXbpBDd3jQ
351Please respect copyright.PENANAiJMapobJSU
Zander could feel it in his bones. Something was happening in this world and who ever attacked Tech was just the first sign.
351Please respect copyright.PENANAA9B9MQW6zn
351Please respect copyright.PENANASWyAYsvJNI
He spent most of the night in the library alongside Colbert, learning more about the magic of this world. He even decided to sleep there, a much better option than in Kirche’s bed.
351Please respect copyright.PENANAaKx4EVUnZu
351Please respect copyright.PENANANT0jdP5ttB
The morning was peaceful until one of Tech’s golems found him and told him the news. He teleported outside Tech’s home and Flamma led him inside.
351Please respect copyright.PENANAnW0GSkUxGe
351Please respect copyright.PENANAWa7DwjNnGL
When they got inside, they found Dove healing a pale Tech but she was sweating bullets. She won’t last long like that…
351Please respect copyright.PENANA6uGxgvtEol
351Please respect copyright.PENANAWCNCk1Se3u
Dove: “Please tell me one of you can use healing magic.”
351Please respect copyright.PENANARoBUlKi8sU
351Please respect copyright.PENANA3ETPCJiP18
Flamma: “…Sorry, I don’t.”
351Please respect copyright.PENANAdF3mNQBAQ4
351Please respect copyright.PENANALo2oJZbwYL
Zander: “No, but I know alchemy. Whether this place has the materials to make something for healing is up in the air. But looking at him, I don’t think we have time.”
351Please respect copyright.PENANAqT06ODyGii
351Please respect copyright.PENANAV06QVODZ7N
Doctor: “AGREED. ALLY FLAMMA AND ALLEY ZANDER SHOULD PRIORITIZE HELPING CREATOR TO THE NANOBATH WHILE ALLY DOVE CONTINUES TO HEAL HIM.”
351Please respect copyright.PENANAKpillrtX6V
351Please respect copyright.PENANAhpUkAhyhWo
With no more words needed, Zander and Flamma helped Tech to the Nanobathes while Dove used the remaining energy she has to keep Tech alive.
351Please respect copyright.PENANAA96je2319L
351Please respect copyright.PENANAu9yUAOH3ya
Doctor led the group to the nanobath and directed them on how to place Tech inside. Afterwards, Dove fell to her knees.
351Please respect copyright.PENANAhzApq1Vlvx
351Please respect copyright.PENANAhkSk9ebdXU
Flamma: “Dove, are you alright!?”
351Please respect copyright.PENANAQ9ox3aJJR6
351Please respect copyright.PENANAMy2uZkHDau
Dove: “Just tired. But I have feeling that this won’t be enough to save Tech.”
351Please respect copyright.PENANAHq7f6vZEUK
351Please respect copyright.PENANA6tW5cQp1nW
Doctor: “NEGATIVE. AN UNKNOWN ENERGY SIGNATURE HAS INFECTED CREATOR. NANOBATH WILL KEEP HIM STABLE BUT UNCONSCIOUS. IF INFECTION IS NOT REMOVED THEN CREATOR WILL CEASE FUNCTIONING.”
351Please respect copyright.PENANAgdJXlIkLlO
351Please respect copyright.PENANAZ1KBudB7DY
Flamma: “Damn it! When I get my hands on the bastard who did this…”
351Please respect copyright.PENANAqtmUapJ9ou
351Please respect copyright.PENANA1VdgB2ncnz
The whites of her eyes briefly darken while her teeth sharpen, ready to tear into the one who harmed her new friend.
351Please respect copyright.PENANA6ptUKhqMgL
351Please respect copyright.PENANAhHdYyo7Gev
Zander: “But we must first heal Tech. Then we can find the one responsible. I’ll return to my own world and see if I can’t find something.”
351Please respect copyright.PENANAvp9YxgXsPa
351Please respect copyright.PENANAuv7bVaz68W
Zander raises his hand to open a portal home but…nothing happened. His eyes widen at his inability to bend space-time to his will.
351Please respect copyright.PENANA3zpSJ8NmFu
351Please respect copyright.PENANA6cqYxkDgd0
Flamma: “Zander?”
351Please respect copyright.PENANAU1ePHI6Crx
351Please respect copyright.PENANAWgNxo81Tzu
Zander: “Impossible…even the gods couldn’t…”
351Please respect copyright.PENANAAnS79VGEk4
351Please respect copyright.PENANAlkcd88cC0q
Suddenly, he felt a pair of feminine but otherworldly eyes on his back. Zander spun around and nearly blasted everything to kingdom come. But he quickly realized nothing was there.
351Please respect copyright.PENANACJRkJpNMzi
351Please respect copyright.PENANAyWrOjnUPtq
Zander: “Just my luck…”
351Please respect copyright.PENANAvYVCAaXWar
351Please respect copyright.PENANAA6FphPyi4b
Dove: “What’s happening?”
351Please respect copyright.PENANAeYtFRl4qfl
351Please respect copyright.PENANArJudlu83QJ
Zander: “I don’t know, but someone, something, locked down this dimension. At least to me anyway. No more teleporting home.”
351Please respect copyright.PENANA96QGDhRSmw
351Please respect copyright.PENANAI5WN3RUc5l
Zander ignored the sore feeling of not being able to see the priestesses again and focused on the immediate issue. Whatever is behind this clearly means them harm. They’ll need everything they have to survive this.
351Please respect copyright.PENANAGIGJ48jD54
351Please respect copyright.PENANArnoolcyk2m
Dove: “There goes summoning any of the Dragons I know or conjuration magic. It’s not like this is place is close to oblivion or something.”
351Please respect copyright.PENANA9kCp7zJgFA
351Please respect copyright.PENANATsWNdCc1MD
Flamma: “But if this world is locked down, what will happen to Raskreia?”
351Please respect copyright.PENANA4sKIWAbCS4
351Please respect copyright.PENANAWLHOFt7bl1
Silence.
351Please respect copyright.PENANA3y4a7wDrx1
351Please respect copyright.PENANABR8rXS7OxG
A pitch black emptiness.
351Please respect copyright.PENANAtzN644QeKn
351Please respect copyright.PENANAWPmuq8uS4B
That’s what she wakes up to. It was suppose to be a simple plane hopping adventure. But as soon as she stepped through her portal, darkness took her.
351Please respect copyright.PENANAOKD4XwFwPm
351Please respect copyright.PENANAY3QwXXMGaF
But even as she regain consciousness, darkness still had her. But that’s not what really frighten her, it was the fact she can’t use gate anymore.
351Please respect copyright.PENANA9o3lPFf4dp
351Please respect copyright.PENANAPcdIHRj5xt
Where was she?
351Please respect copyright.PENANANJR5tUjk2f
351Please respect copyright.PENANAAczpWCKqb5
This was no plane she was familiar with.
351Please respect copyright.PENANAiMSMJgE9BU
351Please respect copyright.PENANA9b24MfPzOU
Raskreia: “Haha…this must be some kind of joke. I-”
351Please respect copyright.PENANA4oDzKbsrCB
…
351Please respect copyright.PENANA51MNKkd7Gd
Raskreia: “What?”
351Please respect copyright.PENANAxwdicuydRo
…351Please respect copyright.PENANAmbxmSqahR0
351Please respect copyright.PENANARb9noMFZ4L
Raskreia: “W-Who-”
351Please respect copyright.PENANA5h2sGPNKSO
351Please respect copyright.PENANAIPpIJ5R8pK
Bad…
351Please respect copyright.PENANACmIfz6Yloa
351Please respect copyright.PENANAuaa8Io6zAU
Raskreia: “!”
351Please respect copyright.PENANAbNdm80Rphu
351Please respect copyright.PENANAKZRzGlEsOP
Girl…
351Please respect copyright.PENANAZVzk2wKbQS
351Please respect copyright.PENANA8HBl4Q0gi5
Everywhere. Softly at first but every moment increasingly louder.
351Please respect copyright.PENANA3lo52H4KNS
351Please respect copyright.PENANAzktp8WyzXj
Bad Girl.
351Please respect copyright.PENANAGRUePtSHTQ
351Please respect copyright.PENANAifaY7XAnL6
Over and over and over and over and over again. Hammering her head until it was the only thing she could hear.
351Please respect copyright.PENANA3qIK9AvPln
351Please respect copyright.PENANApqI5gNZvHm
Raskreia: “Shut up!!”
351Please respect copyright.PENANA0ogKSz5cRj
351Please respect copyright.PENANAr5rDPgPP9q
She unleashed all the magic she could in all directions. That is…she was suppose to.
351Please respect copyright.PENANAGl10TrbIhx
351Please respect copyright.PENANAGpPDmwVrUK
Any magic she unleashed was quickly smothered and eaten by the surrounding void.
351Please respect copyright.PENANAyXvS6mFqfN
351Please respect copyright.PENANAYIRu48NAqI
Now there was another sound echoing in her skull.
351Please respect copyright.PENANAtlxDxtkL4X
351Please respect copyright.PENANAKRjBhQNDfk
Hollow like us.
351Please respect copyright.PENANAfcyI7sm2cy
351Please respect copyright.PENANANSh3eiSsZn
Looking down she can see her body disappearing into the dark. Inch by inch, she was being swallowed. She could kick and scream, but nothing would save her. No one would hear her scream.
351Please respect copyright.PENANAPii8D7PfJr
351Please respect copyright.PENANAtfIaR3FCWB
And if they have their way, no on will remember her either.
351Please respect copyright.PENANAiztI3dZreZ
351Please respect copyright.PENANA58mUQqmJQW
Raskreia: “WHY!”
351Please respect copyright.PENANAvvDtxtNW57
351Please respect copyright.PENANA07ytrr1dPU
Silence is her answer.
351Please respect copyright.PENANAFDGBTPuzEO
351Please respect copyright.PENANAY3poVmLwiG
Or so, they would have liked. But a bright light appeared behind her and quickly after, a hand ripped her from the now screaming darkness.
351Please respect copyright.PENANAgUT2vwA2Nm
351Please respect copyright.PENANAvWSEWxtJ1l
The next thing Raskreia knew, she was in a lush green forest. In what world, she didn’t care. She could feel relief. She checked her body to make sure nothing was missing before turning to her savior.
351Please respect copyright.PENANAv1CJEk5lS7
351Please respect copyright.PENANAmTocElUaYX
He was a human but the power coming off of him was unlike anything she has felt. His face worn and torn from what seems like several eternities. He wore an old tattered blue robe with white patterns adoring its surface.
351Please respect copyright.PENANAhKR0MnI0Ck
351Please respect copyright.PENANAdtsxpDYzOk
Raskreia: “Thank you but…who are you?”
351Please respect copyright.PENANAKUMkfbXVNV
351Please respect copyright.PENANAvaYBTouiRR
“My name Jace Beleren, the last planeswalker.”
