Tech: ‘The hell is happening…to me…’
167Please respect copyright.PENANAHFcH1LlUN9
167Please respect copyright.PENANAnlrBJyxoAM
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.
167Please respect copyright.PENANAsN4KeJ4HIJ
167Please respect copyright.PENANAJCqFiEiGua
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.
167Please respect copyright.PENANAGl5BLZ9Fjz
167Please respect copyright.PENANATwR8cN5JAv
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.
167Please respect copyright.PENANAYRrSLtbP6I
167Please respect copyright.PENANAXWWIlh9MIb
Tech: ‘This…is…not…how I’ll…go out.’
167Please respect copyright.PENANAxA1uSVBB3c
167Please respect copyright.PENANAU6AQpTocSi
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.
167Please respect copyright.PENANAyBuMoRrCrm
167Please respect copyright.PENANASKAbnKqtBh
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.
167Please respect copyright.PENANAyuhNzdkpfM
167Please respect copyright.PENANAAWAscAZ2wR
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.
167Please respect copyright.PENANAO9LbSqS3Th
167Please respect copyright.PENANA7w5YuZ00Oy
Dove: “What is happening? Why is everything red?”
167Please respect copyright.PENANA0Hviqrvdqb
167Please respect copyright.PENANA1BPsYalICp
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.
167Please respect copyright.PENANAihTpxufN9h
167Please respect copyright.PENANAZ6Po3L151q
“EMERGENCY. CREATOR IN CRITICAL CONDITION. ASSISTANCE REQUIRED.”
167Please respect copyright.PENANAKK6sJDqRVH
167Please respect copyright.PENANAJMAwCtFF82
Dove: “Take me to him!”
167Please respect copyright.PENANA6sLzw0Se2R
167Please respect copyright.PENANAK8ehhHtFKS
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.
167Please respect copyright.PENANAVruVzJETV7
167Please respect copyright.PENANAOXr1Zg3cea
Dove: ‘Screw your beliefs on magic, I’m not letting you die Tech.’
167Please respect copyright.PENANAZrtuvEoj1Z
167Please respect copyright.PENANATw3zSUoBos
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.
167Please respect copyright.PENANAn7hu5cCEz7
167Please respect copyright.PENANA2FuCCx73co
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.
167Please respect copyright.PENANAQhUgXbEViP
167Please respect copyright.PENANAuXBa3gdbeZ
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.
167Please respect copyright.PENANA7x74QSTQQR
167Please respect copyright.PENANAP6EHYs0fq1
Dove: ‘But who? No, that’s not important right now.’
167Please respect copyright.PENANADZh026gQ1a
167Please respect copyright.PENANAzYVZWjQtIg
Dove turns to the floating golem before giving her orders.
167Please respect copyright.PENANAh0NpIRV0xA
167Please respect copyright.PENANApLWrQCDonM
Dove: “Golem I-

Doctor: “THIS UNIT IS CALLED DOCTOR.”
167Please respect copyright.PENANAbkQTE0Iv5b
167Please respect copyright.PENANA1yLJ3xH3MN
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!”
167Please respect copyright.PENANA8nzgSwfwM3
167Please respect copyright.PENANAoqY9Av2Csw
Doctor: “ACKNOWLEDGED.”
167Please respect copyright.PENANAukUW9CCaHG
167Please respect copyright.PENANAiuEgwnkGpb
With that, the flying golem left to get the needed assistance.
167Please respect copyright.PENANAoz2qFSNJM5
167Please respect copyright.PENANAfqf5biVhNK
Dove: “Hold on Tech, help is coming.”
167Please respect copyright.PENANAfWWdmoF7kT
167Please respect copyright.PENANAm5ePLW359y
Flamma: ‘You know, maybe I should have took the bed…’
167Please respect copyright.PENANAWtGLqh63uc
167Please respect copyright.PENANAGL0WIXdhFa
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.
167Please respect copyright.PENANAWy6DiZmF7Y
167Please respect copyright.PENANAYJm42LNVmS
But that discomfort left when she noticed something. Louise was up and looking at the rising sun with an unreadable expression.
167Please respect copyright.PENANAOB7yFgC7oB
167Please respect copyright.PENANABnX80gdh6l
Flamma: “Louise, are you alright?”
167Please respect copyright.PENANAhwrqLUgxmU
167Please respect copyright.PENANAmm4dTnlQk3
A slight nervous jump, one she tried to cover but Flamma caught it.
167Please respect copyright.PENANAOuVWguEm02
167Please respect copyright.PENANACBrHwZONAN
Louise: “Of course, it was just what we spoke about yesterday. It’s still a lot to take in.”
167Please respect copyright.PENANAaops7jDXSV
167Please respect copyright.PENANAKcTHlWTKbX
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.’
167Please respect copyright.PENANAz9EJCIrpBU
167Please respect copyright.PENANAjkBEaQmmcg
Flamma: “Are you sure? I’m here for you, you know.”
167Please respect copyright.PENANAnsZrxqYj5h
167Please respect copyright.PENANA2foVER8iQa
That only made Louise slightly frown.
167Please respect copyright.PENANAgDnidksoNm
167Please respect copyright.PENANAIacIRyWSJ8
Louise: “I know.”
167Please respect copyright.PENANApttZx4Uudp
167Please respect copyright.PENANA4rK2avgJxu
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.
167Please respect copyright.PENANA3wMKSpIBJP
167Please respect copyright.PENANARVpHFatQ1I
Louise: “T-Today is the day of void, a free day. We could-”
167Please respect copyright.PENANAxBpovAdYui
167Please respect copyright.PENANAEiZy6vLPAl
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.
167Please respect copyright.PENANAODrsFFtpet
167Please respect copyright.PENANA8OJsqV9mil
Flamma: “The hell!”
167Please respect copyright.PENANAJqHmX9syBf
167Please respect copyright.PENANAld5xCKLy1S
Doctor: ““EMERGENCY. CREATOR IN CRITICAL CONDITION. ASSISTANCE REQUESTED BY ALLY DOVE.”
167Please respect copyright.PENANAhGQRnwNdP8
167Please respect copyright.PENANAXbvaJ7Myz8
Flamma: “Tech…”
167Please respect copyright.PENANAHQfFcdyjk0
167Please respect copyright.PENANAfp6LmENtGu
Flamma immediately let go of Louise, went to the window and prepared to stretch out her wings for a soft landing. But first…
167Please respect copyright.PENANAhjvaOG9PPR
167Please respect copyright.PENANAlq4PEvVvrs
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.”
167Please respect copyright.PENANArcKEsULukG
167Please respect copyright.PENANAsHR3cSp4bI
Doctor: “THIS UNIT WILL ACCOMPLISH THAT TASK.”
167Please respect copyright.PENANAzQWtDOVM9x
167Please respect copyright.PENANAHfHOgnf3FP
It says before flying out the window in search of Zander.
167Please respect copyright.PENANAfdnPIYc6Oz
167Please respect copyright.PENANART1pM5x0Op
Flamma: “Oh…well…just don’t tell Siesta then. Darn it, just when we need Raskreia. I’m sure she has some healing spells.”
167Please respect copyright.PENANAbbVxSfmcwh
167Please respect copyright.PENANAMtJp4v5drn
With that, Flamma jumped out the window, aiming for Tech’s base. Unbeknownst to her though, the shadows of Louise’s room were moving.
167Please respect copyright.PENANArGZGgbcIg0
167Please respect copyright.PENANA0qCS5txVrg
Aeron: “He’s still alive? Impressive.”
167Please respect copyright.PENANA01uPTQzLAz
167Please respect copyright.PENANACjqqIw2X7k
Louise spun around to see Aeron in the shadows.
167Please respect copyright.PENANA3fjkgnHcAo
167Please respect copyright.PENANAUVo5o6gbJI
Louise: “You did this!?”
167Please respect copyright.PENANAK5LcSFabMx
167Please respect copyright.PENANAnHhKdwrIXs
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.”
167Please respect copyright.PENANAxxOK788kHC
167Please respect copyright.PENANAJXVxirXo9Y
Louise: “Huh?”
167Please respect copyright.PENANAEzEXoiUXR6
167Please respect copyright.PENANA8JwjdX6QtB
Aeron: “This free day offers us a good chance. I’m even surprised that you were going to suggest the same thing.”
167Please respect copyright.PENANAIk6Z81eePG
167Please respect copyright.PENANA7eqrUgZ6ts
Louise: “What do you mean?”
167Please respect copyright.PENANAfeN2PJpBBt
167Please respect copyright.PENANA637rnQU1mV
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.”
167Please respect copyright.PENANApDcBXdsyHI
167Please respect copyright.PENANAQ45hobMRFL
Louise: “That’s-”
167Please respect copyright.PENANA97VA3UqSoe
167Please respect copyright.PENANA9AIEkvbG9Z
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.”
167Please respect copyright.PENANAyHKFC4fCcU
167Please respect copyright.PENANAzLJ5JoSQnp
With that, Aeron faded into the shadows, leaving Louise in the fog of indecision.
167Please respect copyright.PENANAhfvSzvvlBs
167Please respect copyright.PENANA85Hl2GE8PK
She didn’t want to get up from her bed. Deep down, she could feel that today would be another test of her heart.
167Please respect copyright.PENANA3gUl66eGMg
167Please respect copyright.PENANADwl5q2ZJ9R
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.
167Please respect copyright.PENANA6Q3GjLWb9q
167Please respect copyright.PENANA1hdKnHvY1N
Zander could feel it in his bones. Something was happening in this world and who ever attacked Tech was just the first sign.
167Please respect copyright.PENANAP5HUQF1Dwa
167Please respect copyright.PENANAwEZGgvgFbf
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.
167Please respect copyright.PENANAiYNQfVJ9c8
167Please respect copyright.PENANAk3xzGNCXuh
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.
167Please respect copyright.PENANAdRPFTkCQEa
167Please respect copyright.PENANAeB4RqttJBw
When they got inside, they found Dove healing a pale Tech but she was sweating bullets. She won’t last long like that…
167Please respect copyright.PENANA2peSXJK2JB
167Please respect copyright.PENANA25UTthqv3L
Dove: “Please tell me one of you can use healing magic.”
167Please respect copyright.PENANA8Ch6yShf2V
167Please respect copyright.PENANAki7ggAQu3r
Flamma: “…Sorry, I don’t.”
167Please respect copyright.PENANAvqijP9E9A6
167Please respect copyright.PENANACnqmJdD1oa
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.”
167Please respect copyright.PENANAOycwViN7BK
167Please respect copyright.PENANAiupTCmnPFW
Doctor: “AGREED. ALLY FLAMMA AND ALLEY ZANDER SHOULD PRIORITIZE HELPING CREATOR TO THE NANOBATH WHILE ALLY DOVE CONTINUES TO HEAL HIM.”
167Please respect copyright.PENANAU2XsTPjuKA
167Please respect copyright.PENANA6r2KXDSLo2
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.
167Please respect copyright.PENANAASlg6Mrep9
167Please respect copyright.PENANA7RrMVVzW7e
Doctor led the group to the nanobath and directed them on how to place Tech inside. Afterwards, Dove fell to her knees.
167Please respect copyright.PENANA6I7oTN3QYm
167Please respect copyright.PENANAEblkipILtx
Flamma: “Dove, are you alright!?”
167Please respect copyright.PENANAzKnyZh1mQn
167Please respect copyright.PENANACTp9ehji6U
Dove: “Just tired. But I have feeling that this won’t be enough to save Tech.”
167Please respect copyright.PENANAuI03ucy4lU
167Please respect copyright.PENANAnsY3aQeON1
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.”
167Please respect copyright.PENANAR70YxD6mPc
167Please respect copyright.PENANAhu7t58V8LJ
Flamma: “Damn it! When I get my hands on the bastard who did this…”
167Please respect copyright.PENANAn08VtXiahC
167Please respect copyright.PENANAzkKviiKdxs
The whites of her eyes briefly darken while her teeth sharpen, ready to tear into the one who harmed her new friend.
167Please respect copyright.PENANAXsryVZMXUl
167Please respect copyright.PENANA0F1En3Rnbk
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.”
167Please respect copyright.PENANA5dTTVm0NY4
167Please respect copyright.PENANAdz9kymRsd5
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.
167Please respect copyright.PENANA7TwnbqKmfP
167Please respect copyright.PENANAv4z9pB2x9Z
Flamma: “Zander?”
167Please respect copyright.PENANAQB4mdRY6UW
167Please respect copyright.PENANA3iU92ZWH22
Zander: “Impossible…even the gods couldn’t…”
167Please respect copyright.PENANAizWQr4kmgk
167Please respect copyright.PENANAHbxRlZZkcm
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.
167Please respect copyright.PENANAIEjAiZKEZG
167Please respect copyright.PENANAR682t15QbN
Zander: “Just my luck…”
167Please respect copyright.PENANACcwageWv2H
167Please respect copyright.PENANAdpIU4NcHzo
Dove: “What’s happening?”
167Please respect copyright.PENANAKkejr7cozy
167Please respect copyright.PENANAji6GFCH5CO
Zander: “I don’t know, but someone, something, locked down this dimension. At least to me anyway. No more teleporting home.”
167Please respect copyright.PENANARX9X8PXWTs
167Please respect copyright.PENANAVVGl9G0rDu
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.
167Please respect copyright.PENANAnUGEf3JUOs
167Please respect copyright.PENANAzOeyqGn0SR
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.”
167Please respect copyright.PENANA7RaNScogtO
167Please respect copyright.PENANAnSJDHiJswK
Flamma: “But if this world is locked down, what will happen to Raskreia?”
167Please respect copyright.PENANAKGPdMP38jV
167Please respect copyright.PENANAxxSequUlOM
Silence.
167Please respect copyright.PENANAFiwpSUF47T
167Please respect copyright.PENANAItZDvAkfTw
A pitch black emptiness.
167Please respect copyright.PENANAjrnrQtkDpK
167Please respect copyright.PENANACYLnEGRul6
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.
167Please respect copyright.PENANA0Wx6WKosPe
167Please respect copyright.PENANAtdy5V07VvL
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.
167Please respect copyright.PENANAUgAWDyaJ7S
167Please respect copyright.PENANAaScPwuh4qd
Where was she?
167Please respect copyright.PENANAd0mbFwHEEB
167Please respect copyright.PENANAkh4yAvl80F
This was no plane she was familiar with.
167Please respect copyright.PENANAbCDNeFS9sh
167Please respect copyright.PENANAUekfQr91Ad
Raskreia: “Haha…this must be some kind of joke. I-”
167Please respect copyright.PENANAXJGfyCa5ta
…
167Please respect copyright.PENANACJz0XjeWOa
Raskreia: “What?”
167Please respect copyright.PENANAXpet7EpAic
…167Please respect copyright.PENANArBfubjOUuR
167Please respect copyright.PENANA2ZSVoYv4Hr
Raskreia: “W-Who-”
167Please respect copyright.PENANAjPYTd29yUh
167Please respect copyright.PENANARHBGVVVUcS
Bad…
167Please respect copyright.PENANAdFnDRcRig6
167Please respect copyright.PENANAlaCLNu4y3m
Raskreia: “!”
167Please respect copyright.PENANA6UqUls7nmD
167Please respect copyright.PENANAtfeLHLqJfx
Girl…
167Please respect copyright.PENANARcL8ozOtoV
167Please respect copyright.PENANAbEH7rd6xkP
Everywhere. Softly at first but every moment increasingly louder.
167Please respect copyright.PENANAuHVbu8j5HB
167Please respect copyright.PENANAKqIiRy1ALA
Bad Girl.
167Please respect copyright.PENANAcEaUX5Eg5i
167Please respect copyright.PENANA3Z1R3iDXCE
Over and over and over and over and over again. Hammering her head until it was the only thing she could hear.
167Please respect copyright.PENANAcx9j9wkY90
167Please respect copyright.PENANAfQKteALYTM
Raskreia: “Shut up!!”
167Please respect copyright.PENANAgd1XiqOOUr
167Please respect copyright.PENANA3nFFFRd8xu
She unleashed all the magic she could in all directions. That is…she was suppose to.
167Please respect copyright.PENANAVZDofAdzZM
167Please respect copyright.PENANAeHEunBddkG
Any magic she unleashed was quickly smothered and eaten by the surrounding void.
167Please respect copyright.PENANAmY9rcW2Nwq
167Please respect copyright.PENANAisJQUYNfoE
Now there was another sound echoing in her skull.
167Please respect copyright.PENANAm5yjmgvqHS
167Please respect copyright.PENANAJwdHFFjFU1
Hollow like us.
167Please respect copyright.PENANA36U9CFv9Fj
167Please respect copyright.PENANA4fBn2KI2Wl
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.
167Please respect copyright.PENANAgSpA4WY6Nb
167Please respect copyright.PENANA44rwsiEP2R
And if they have their way, no on will remember her either.
167Please respect copyright.PENANAFxYkR6B4g3
167Please respect copyright.PENANAto3UJZkwhD
Raskreia: “WHY!”
167Please respect copyright.PENANAYG9VXOAWLM
167Please respect copyright.PENANAItsAT2nZLi
Silence is her answer.
167Please respect copyright.PENANAfHkdeHE4b1
167Please respect copyright.PENANAJtUrC7g5W9
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.
167Please respect copyright.PENANArbqOCEknPq
167Please respect copyright.PENANAOiQq5ekl0r
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.
167Please respect copyright.PENANAOBLphbaELw
167Please respect copyright.PENANAzWKdeZkjKw
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.
167Please respect copyright.PENANALZIzzc4UVU
167Please respect copyright.PENANARgKysN3KLf
Raskreia: “Thank you but…who are you?”
167Please respect copyright.PENANAQsjZCXkAmX
167Please respect copyright.PENANAbsMRYYHdfZ
“My name Jace Beleren, the last planeswalker.”
