Welcome, to my first fan fic. After years, I finally gave in and tried a few.
517Please respect copyright.PENANAnuYa8iv2qH
Mostly crossovers.
517Please respect copyright.PENANAQIMUhsi9mz
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.
517Please respect copyright.PENANAW6I92okwqE
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.
517Please respect copyright.PENANAuRNZINGinb
They will be listed at the end of this one-shot.
517Please respect copyright.PENANAELL3PqBEDd
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.
517Please respect copyright.PENANA5VgTd2pKcS
This is version 1 after all. If I can perfect the foundation and people like it, then I can continue.
517Please respect copyright.PENANA0vS7O4BEAu
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.
517Please respect copyright.PENANAqYfRXUy7cm
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.
517Please respect copyright.PENANA93b3vDeyeL
With that out of the way, let’s dive into this slice of eternity in a moment.
517Please respect copyright.PENANALqsmADKvSN
517Please respect copyright.PENANA1B2yTjEGdD
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.
517Please respect copyright.PENANAiFeSbciAX1
Aside from that though, they were also anxious. Anxious about what kind of familiar they would get.
517Please respect copyright.PENANAISevBljGXC
A summoned familiar mirrors their master’s personality and elemental affinity. Who knows what hidden secrets their familiars may accidentally reveal to everyone?
517Please respect copyright.PENANAUekHM9Aajz
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.
517Please respect copyright.PENANAtx9G9YfkBV
Yes, all of them have tried and succeeded in summoning a familiar.
517Please respect copyright.PENANAtja0jEUtLV
Well, all but one.
517Please respect copyright.PENANADk3YGlaTa7
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.
517Please respect copyright.PENANAcpoQbQRH96
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.
517Please respect copyright.PENANAyDBauGjuMT
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.
517Please respect copyright.PENANAXQMx8g9t5j
Colbert: “All right then, has everyone had their turn?”
517Please respect copyright.PENANAUUQwgdp42G
But the one to fully shatter her hopes was her bully and rival, Kirche von Zerbst. The busty chocolate beauty.
517Please respect copyright.PENANAxkYtcCKvGq
Kirche: “No, not quite. Ms. Valliere hasn’t done it.”
517Please respect copyright.PENANAGbARUis23R
Louise: ‘Brimir, darn you Kirche.’
517Please respect copyright.PENANAARxRx0klId
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.
517Please respect copyright.PENANArx8pYteAkF
Maybe then, she’ll be respected and can finally deliver some good news to her family.
517Please respect copyright.PENANAefz8maPbxd
She goes to the summoning area and prepares to-
517Please respect copyright.PENANAdM5kHvBKb0
“Louise the zero.”
517Please respect copyright.PENANABf1XOIdL9e
“What do you suppose she’ll summon”
517Please respect copyright.PENANAjjA3C2kz6i
“There’s no way she can summon anything. We’ll just have another explosion and nothing else.”
517Please respect copyright.PENANAJDBfqswnCe
Kirche: “With all your boasting, you should be able to summon up something more amazing than this. Right, Louise?”
517Please respect copyright.PENANACenvaJi2zf
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.
517Please respect copyright.PENANAPoSNmBi4tg
Louise: “Well of course!”
517Please respect copyright.PENANAQGrWnWBWJA
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.
517Please respect copyright.PENANAcwswPg7g7G
She didn’t know it then but, someone was listening to her prayers.
517Please respect copyright.PENANAXBsQ63JH6t
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!”
517Please respect copyright.PENANAqLGIGlhzjx
“And so the die is cast.”
517Please respect copyright.PENANAJjLzcHpnd7
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.
517Please respect copyright.PENANAFc1BGVsLmm
…
…
517Please respect copyright.PENANAm2fdMn9OyU
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.
517Please respect copyright.PENANAU0MbW96avZ
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.
517Please respect copyright.PENANAJLI1af7oR9
The students quickly collected themselves and began their favorite pass time.
517Please respect copyright.PENANA5WnJbaAM3G
“Hah, I knew it! Once a Zero always a Zero.”
517Please respect copyright.PENANAT2FW1UgE0e
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.
517Please respect copyright.PENANAcTXpZPM81Y
The one most scared was Slyphid, the medium-sized blue dragon summoned by the petite blue-haired Tabitha.
517Please respect copyright.PENANABpqp0S8X8q
Tabitha: “What?”
517Please respect copyright.PENANALRMwDhQY5M
Her question brought Slyphid’s head around to look her in the eyes. With their intimate bond, Slyphid was able to respond telepathically.
517Please respect copyright.PENANAibMzDZcJAC
Slyphid: ‘I smell her! I’m Frightened! But…there’s…more than just her…a…Predator.’
517Please respect copyright.PENANAZNzCv9BZ7C
The panicked voice in her head startled Tabitha. For a rhyme dragon of all things to be frightened…
517Please respect copyright.PENANAHHvM9GOSLT
Tabitha: “What do you…mean?”
517Please respect copyright.PENANAc90QOeYMYB
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.
517Please respect copyright.PENANA84hyl6S8ei
Louise: ‘Wait!? Shadows?’
517Please respect copyright.PENANA6yvGo3WeVM
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.
517Please respect copyright.PENANAqY1VqPtbRg
When the smoke cleared, something completely unexpected awaited everyone. Not only did Louise summon a human but she summoned multiple familiars.
517Please respect copyright.PENANAnnAwzTkotx
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.
517Please respect copyright.PENANAw7hy4miSBo
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.
517Please respect copyright.PENANABq4HpoEvfv
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.
517Please respect copyright.PENANAvHksKMjGRv
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.
517Please respect copyright.PENANAGLHvhD51Iy
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.
517Please respect copyright.PENANAp2PEZ1MFTm
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.
517Please respect copyright.PENANAji6rV1hqOZ
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.
517Please respect copyright.PENANAykWK6ZFTU6
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.
517Please respect copyright.PENANA8noGpf6R2N
As for Louise, she just couldn’t look away. Especially after what happened next.
517Please respect copyright.PENANAoaamHnJETz
“Kolo Zu’u, druv los tinvaak dovahzul?”
517Please respect copyright.PENANAjxi1y0OmAX
…
…517Please respect copyright.PENANAVoItmhqRhE
517Please respect copyright.PENANAH2ypWiltRa
Kirche: “Did that dragon just…speak?”
517Please respect copyright.PENANAAdzTqIQINX
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.
517Please respect copyright.PENANAQIjky3CEUe
After a few moments of conversation and looking around, they stopped and looked at Louise.
517Please respect copyright.PENANA5BkRATxgm8
“Okay, who summoned us?”
517Please respect copyright.PENANASUNe3ttmQn
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.
517Please respect copyright.PENANA3ykvWbMewa
Louise: “I-I did. My name is Louise Francoise Le Blanc de La Valliere.”517Please respect copyright.PENANAEOenc3uYRA
517Please respect copyright.PENANAERxrb8oYaN
“Well hi Louise, my name is Raskreia or Rask for short. This dragon is named Dovahkiin, strange name I know.”
517Please respect copyright.PENANAuTGEBdQyGC
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.
517Please respect copyright.PENANAfPH7P0nUZ0
517Please respect copyright.PENANA1ARXfCrbXy
Raskreia: “Now, I have questions but first I think we should help the kid.”
517Please respect copyright.PENANAhRF3XePODZ
517Please respect copyright.PENANAVj4PZEWjON
Colbert finally escaped his shock and agreed. He asks some students to carry the boy to the infirmary.
517Please respect copyright.PENANAQre6Keklpf
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.
517Please respect copyright.PENANANEfUTjAdm9
Colbert: ‘Who knows what could’ve happened if we delayed any further.’
517Please respect copyright.PENANAbYrqqpTP8V
“Ugh, what, is with the racket.”
517Please respect copyright.PENANAhsJVoCEY4j
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.
517Please respect copyright.PENANAP2wFx2yx8w
“I slept in an inn in my underwear, and I wake up in a summoning circle in them. Ugh, what even?”
517Please respect copyright.PENANAGyxZYWTpur
Raskreia: “Well, looks who’s awake.”
517Please respect copyright.PENANAu2rvaQFb2j
She sighs.517Please respect copyright.PENANAJGMn8IZM6O
517Please respect copyright.PENANAOHtX26B7cd
“And I am surrounded by children and a strange dragon.”
517Please respect copyright.PENANAG6EGzeeRIg
Colbert: “Since everyone is awake, not including the injured, we should proceed with the bonding ritual.”517Please respect copyright.PENANA9bcfKKLIQk
517Please respect copyright.PENANAxTTKQTDBT5
Raskreia: “Sure, if you’re going to explain to us what in the nine hells is going on here exactly and where we are?”517Please respect copyright.PENANAHaRN7w9syy
517Please respect copyright.PENANAFuYy7VimrN
At this, Louise answers before the man could.517Please respect copyright.PENANA57eqjjag29
517Please respect copyright.PENANAqs49KUK8mi
Louise: “You’re here because I summoned you all to be my familiar with the summon servant spell, and I am your master now.”
517Please respect copyright.PENANAU0EGOj2JEP
Rask rolls her eyes while the other 2 had more animated responses.517Please respect copyright.PENANARpBbrFuK2x
517Please respect copyright.PENANAoEo9ylzH3d
“Whoa, back the fuck up. Why should I be your familiar?”517Please respect copyright.PENANAaZqszlyQ8y
517Please respect copyright.PENANACesvevlWkq
Dovahkiin: “What do you mean by bonding?”517Please respect copyright.PENANAuDSW0fzhmr
517Please respect copyright.PENANAxyn2rGWVHF
Everyone except Rask blinked. That was in Tristainian.517Please respect copyright.PENANAavBdElvGYX
517Please respect copyright.PENANAicy4qLT60H
Dovahkiin: “Oh, so now my voice returns.”
517Please respect copyright.PENANAkwYRcjF3Od
Colbert: “You can speak our language?”
517Please respect copyright.PENANAUrw7cAO1gQ
Dovahkiin: “I can speak this language, but before I was…confused and spoke in native Dovahzul.”
517Please respect copyright.PENANAzH4cUi1BFp
Raskreia: “Really? I guess I don’t need this anymore then.”
517Please respect copyright.PENANAupgq2C5uoS
Rask puts the ring back in her bag.
517Please respect copyright.PENANAcp57TPPYA1
Colbert: “Dovahzul, I haven’t heard of that language.”
517Please respect copyright.PENANAy1AKrLwsYd
“Neither have I, strange.”
517Please respect copyright.PENANA8UFVsxpsGh
Dovahkiin: “Enough of this, what do you mean by bonding?”
517Please respect copyright.PENANA3J56WVfRyY
Despite the group before her, Louise bravely stepped forward again.
517Please respect copyright.PENANAxFSsvJGuVY
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.”
517Please respect copyright.PENANAugnHeCGhxe
The reactions from all summoned present varied but none good.517Please respect copyright.PENANAb9nwT23wRS
517Please respect copyright.PENANAZrRLvLgIAv
Raskreia: “I’m fine with getting summoned but getting branded like some animal, no thanks.”517Please respect copyright.PENANArgWFeXy9wI
517Please respect copyright.PENANAcBm3ntDRIP
Louise’s mood quickly deteriorates but there’s still hope she thought. She summoned more than one, surely one would agree.
517Please respect copyright.PENANAeQ921feR9K
But that thought quickly faded away when the dragon growled. It drew itself up by stretching its wings down and glared at Louise.
517Please respect copyright.PENANA9TTj2AZ8uQ
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?”
517Please respect copyright.PENANAfmixyynVPw
Raskreia: ‘Oh no, they made the dragon mad. That’s never a good idea. No matter the plane.’
517Please respect copyright.PENANA5psi4tfNcY
Colbert stepped in as Louise faltered and took several steps back.
517Please respect copyright.PENANAIDvE5qaPSn
Colbert: “It’s how the holy ritual has been performed for hundreds of years.”
517Please respect copyright.PENANA6LvDsZxmiq
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.”
517Please respect copyright.PENANAVaDvvJE5RH
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.
517Please respect copyright.PENANAtNA2UMRUOQ
Dovahkiin: “I for one refuse to become anyone’s slave. I simply want to return to the life I lived before this all occurred.”
517Please respect copyright.PENANAnyPvY6ceEl
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.”
517Please respect copyright.PENANAd86jwPfuSp
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.’517Please respect copyright.PENANAciGnWdloUx
517Please respect copyright.PENANA7okgpmasPs
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.
517Please respect copyright.PENANAAJaTLuNXaf
She grips her wand tightly, wishing this was all a dream. Unbeknownst to her, there was one that considered her offer.
517Please respect copyright.PENANAIlSzZxi2wc
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.
517Please respect copyright.PENANAauTlYxoI1b
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.
517Please respect copyright.PENANAXU6PNNVtvC
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.517Please respect copyright.PENANABhcJFSrB7q
517Please respect copyright.PENANAZxS9HFXD9j
She knew intimately what happens in situations like that. Despite her previous obligations, the redhead made her choice.517Please respect copyright.PENANAnMgY90EPuS
517Please respect copyright.PENANA0vqzJKw3Io
“If a familiar is what you seek, then you shall have one. I agree to be yours.”
517Please respect copyright.PENANAzHP1fvnCbM
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.
517Please respect copyright.PENANA5Bdjnm8mAN
Dovahkiin: “You!? You would subject yourself as a slave to a child? Where is your pride as a Dovah?”
517Please respect copyright.PENANArzYC6EmsNq
“Dovah? I see, that's your word for it. So you can tell?”
517Please respect copyright.PENANA4qFgWrnXuw
Dovahkiin: *Nod*
517Please respect copyright.PENANAgKaUbmxuYt
“I have my own reasons.”
517Please respect copyright.PENANAN1rY9nOQnP
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.
517Please respect copyright.PENANAKYzkhAuJdz
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?
517Please respect copyright.PENANAStEbNlZvyr
Raskreia: “Well I won’t judge you. It’s your choice.”
517Please respect copyright.PENANAWxdWv2Ca5Y
Louise reapplies her rule of steel mask and starts towards the redhead. She let out an indignant, resigned huff as she raised her wand.
517Please respect copyright.PENANAVxbGPbn6OH
Louise: “Consider yourself fortunate, commoner. Normally, you’d never in your life have a noble do this to you.”
517Please respect copyright.PENANAIYUrd1cVxJ
Louise: “My name is Louise Francoise Le Blanc de La Valliere. Oh, pentagon that rules the five elements, bless this individual and-”
517Please respect copyright.PENANAA4eN5YETJP
517Please respect copyright.PENANAFeKmXj8Pvc
‘Did you think this was it?’
517Please respect copyright.PENANAojJ5ynxMmo
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.
517Please respect copyright.PENANABJpQBCZdsQ
“Louise!?”
517Please respect copyright.PENANAetGYiR1EzY
Everyone, including the dragon, looks at Louise with concern. Before anyone could go to her and see what’s wrong, something else extraordinary happens.
517Please respect copyright.PENANAcgCmQOe0O4
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.
517Please respect copyright.PENANAiYDUSTyp6v
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.
517Please respect copyright.PENANAbPFBPHW9Ms
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.
517Please respect copyright.PENANAiKvA4oxFGR
Raskeria: “The hell was that?”
517Please respect copyright.PENANAlT1aUeXbTh
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.
517Please respect copyright.PENANAbfvquE7R6u
Colbert: “A golem?”
517Please respect copyright.PENANArvP868vkeB
Dovahkiin: “No, something more.”
517Please respect copyright.PENANA7FeszSMrCd
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.
517Please respect copyright.PENANALbGNKF2PnU
Guiche: “Unhand me this instant!”
517Please respect copyright.PENANAp48cQtL1f0
It didn’t respond instead it brought its other arm up and balled it into a fist.
517Please respect copyright.PENANARtnDwqAiEp
Guiche: “You would dare hit a noble!? I tell you, my father is a gener-”
517Please respect copyright.PENANAIjri7CctJu
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.
517Please respect copyright.PENANAtlnRyIrTau
Colbert: “Mister Grammont!”
517Please respect copyright.PENANAdAjsr7jNYa
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.
517Please respect copyright.PENANAPdcy8jGWQ6
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.
517Please respect copyright.PENANARTijGMJXKw
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.
517Please respect copyright.PENANAwiz8Pra8AL
Guiche: “L-Louise?”517Please respect copyright.PENANAmY76AS0AoF
517Please respect copyright.PENANAR5DXjorXjb
Colbert: “But how?”
517Please respect copyright.PENANAvy3nrX1nc9
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.
517Please respect copyright.PENANAJLcQm9b5X2
Raskeria: “Can this day get any crazier?”
517Please respect copyright.PENANArhTq5IoeA3
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.
517Please respect copyright.PENANAOWvEelBt8A
Guiche: “How dare-”
517Please respect copyright.PENANA3XcJHDOHv3
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.
517Please respect copyright.PENANAIdAb9KISz6
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.
517Please respect copyright.PENANA2hyAClu4SE
Regardless, Dova took the golem and threw it across the field away from the students.
517Please respect copyright.PENANAvAomKuR4Jk
While this was happening, the redhead took Louise to a safe distance. She could help but she wanted to keep Louise safe for now.
517Please respect copyright.PENANAsF8iHEmufR
Raskeria: “That has to be among the strongest golems I’ve ever seen.”
517Please respect copyright.PENANAeZxTgv6bHI
Dovahkiin: “It’s like a Dwemer automation but more…advanced somehow.”
517Please respect copyright.PENANARezK9wC0pn
Louise?: “I don’t remember you two when I left. Who are you two?”
517Please respect copyright.PENANAxt3hpIVulP
Raskeria: “Talk later, fight now!”
517Please respect copyright.PENANAmLjvB54hlc
Dovahkiin: “YOL TOOR SHUL!”
517Please respect copyright.PENANAfgaKpOe9tR
The dragon breathes intense heat at the golem while Raskeria casts a strange spell that also shoots bolts of fire.
517Please respect copyright.PENANApYKrVgv9ct
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.
517Please respect copyright.PENANAtm5nhCX0zs
Raskeria: “Okay, that thing is too dangerous. Disintegrate.”
517Please respect copyright.PENANAvvC20U9wRB
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.
517Please respect copyright.PENANA5RqrqdWMIs
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.
517Please respect copyright.PENANAdgpysLfzaC
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.
517Please respect copyright.PENANAzB3ti6AFzQ
This proved to be the right choice when the sound of lightning cracked from the cloud of dust.
517Please respect copyright.PENANAc0KpbirIuj
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.
517Please respect copyright.PENANAfE8XJVIx0S
Raskeria: “Another one!? To think, I was just hanging out with friends and now I have to fight for my life.”
517Please respect copyright.PENANAgHeIX2FVCi
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.
517Please respect copyright.PENANAbDE2iEwbcl
Eventually, the sound of clicking reached her ears. She disassembled her shield and placed her hands behind her with her palms open.
517Please respect copyright.PENANABapHryMRyA
Louise 2: ‘Here’s my chanc-”
517Please respect copyright.PENANA9M9StpSlc9
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.
517Please respect copyright.PENANAaBcYQVlMtO
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.
517Please respect copyright.PENANAGliUNnE74Z
Raskeria: “Did Louise summon another one? I can’t deny it, that’s impressive.”
517Please respect copyright.PENANAXxuObGemx5
Louise 2: “Friend or foe?”
517Please respect copyright.PENANAP4vfmhaORm
Jake: “Depends on what happens next. The name’s Jake Logan Anderson, Jake will do.”
517Please respect copyright.PENANAs9xZATWgZo
Dovahkiin: “FUS RO DAH”
517Please respect copyright.PENANAkHJVm7zxXF
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.
517Please respect copyright.PENANAQvYGCoUfRl
Dovahkiin: ‘I need to get used to this body and fast. I hope that was the last of them.’
517Please respect copyright.PENANAkuG4imEaoG
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.
517Please respect copyright.PENANABGkEarxrMp
Louise 2: “Mr. Colbert!”
517Please respect copyright.PENANAlAsoVZHlY3
This seemed to jog the man from his shock.
517Please respect copyright.PENANAIFt9Fdvv6M
Colbert: “Um yes, what do you need Ms….you are Valliere right?”
517Please respect copyright.PENANA8aQIIWNUZf
Louise 2: “Yes. Evacuate everyone from this place right now.”
517Please respect copyright.PENANAvwtrgqjNWg
Raskeria: “Why? Isn’t it over?”
517Please respect copyright.PENANALMDq0Fa36h
Jake: “No, it’s never that easy.”
517Please respect copyright.PENANAGc6TlVuykl
Louise 2: “He’s right, this courtyard isn’t safe anymore.”
517Please respect copyright.PENANAz3pKwp1O3o
The doppelganger looked at the strangers she fought with.
517Please respect copyright.PENANA4Z1p8vdXMl
Louise 2: “Can trust one of you to help Colbert protect everyone.”
517Please respect copyright.PENANAcSImZ8F0sB
Before any of them could answer, the red-head answered.
517Please respect copyright.PENANAuOrUqdVvgm
“I’ll protect him along with…you I guess.”
517Please respect copyright.PENANAhgtLXRlNwS
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.
517Please respect copyright.PENANARli14DlQCx
Louise 2: “And who are you?”
517Please respect copyright.PENANA5gKPvUsogb
“My name is Aeterna Flamma, your familiar.”
517Please respect copyright.PENANAhg4vbZN2KI
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.
517Please respect copyright.PENANAutNUM7Eaft
Dovahkiin: “Trust her, she is stronger than she looks.”
517Please respect copyright.PENANAFQ1N4adNEC
Louise: 2: “…Fine. I won’t argue with a dragon. Especially not now.”
517Please respect copyright.PENANAkshUfiQuWX
Aeterna: “Good, come on everyone.”
517Please respect copyright.PENANAQgmHNDt21o
Colbert: “Y-You heard them, we can’t stay here any-”
517Please respect copyright.PENANAWP13mZmkZ0
Suddenly, the sound of something rattling made itself known throughout the courtyard. Louise 2 clicked her tongue.
517Please respect copyright.PENANAv8IXZ9j40O
Louise 2: “Go, NOW!”
517Please respect copyright.PENANAUyE4HFCTnQ
They followed her order, many out of fear of the sight before them. The 3 golems slowly but surely collapsed into strange black sand.
517Please respect copyright.PENANA35snyZokfe
Jake: “What the fuck?! Are these truly machines?”
517Please respect copyright.PENANA7ya7mZN6QX
Raskeria: “I’m starting to question that too.”
517Please respect copyright.PENANAXzDNIlPiBS
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.
517Please respect copyright.PENANAh6R5TFU0tJ
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.
517Please respect copyright.PENANAq5v18kvJhP
The arms were next. The left was a massive blade and the right was a massive claw hand.
517Please respect copyright.PENANAKe19mgMtYj
Finally, the head was bulky enough to discourage any beheading. But the most important part was the lines connecting to the chest area.
517Please respect copyright.PENANAXQXN7lwlh2
Louise 2: ‘That’s its weak point.’
517Please respect copyright.PENANAnZNQ7TdDid
Its eyes finally light up and lock onto the fighters.
517Please respect copyright.PENANAch8OeAtxfz
Louise 2: “Just my luck, a Ravager.”
517Please respect copyright.PENANAvgQ9y2sfbz
Raskeria: “A what?”
517Please respect copyright.PENANAHsTLDw5eEA
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.
517Please respect copyright.PENANA7fL4VNbkDo
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.
517Please respect copyright.PENANAk16bg5C3DX
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.
517Please respect copyright.PENANAeWrobpYmiE
Louise 2: “Go!”
517Please respect copyright.PENANAOOuLUX0Bkw
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.
517Please respect copyright.PENANAN8TXDoYIrj
Raskeria aided the group with various spells, mostly fire and stuff like ‘Create Pit’.
517Please respect copyright.PENANAm0YBvtnhzM
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.
517Please respect copyright.PENANAL4w4Gvvxdf
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.
517Please respect copyright.PENANABUPAOCtpaa
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.
517Please respect copyright.PENANAeP9NjymEp5
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.
517Please respect copyright.PENANAseSHOkszqz
Raskeria: “Yeah, stay right there. Disintegrate.”
517Please respect copyright.PENANAkFORhOZ01r
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.
517Please respect copyright.PENANAwGFlgOIMY3
Louise 2: “That won’t be enough! We need to destroy its core.”
517Please respect copyright.PENANASGIyRoBt6w
Jake: “Where is it then!?”
517Please respect copyright.PENANAMhc5qw5ld0
Louise 2: “It was in its chest but who knows where it will be when it reforms.”
517Please respect copyright.PENANAqmZNQFIs48
They look back at Rask and she couldn’t help but rub the back of her head.
517Please respect copyright.PENANARcm7jdy19K
Raskeria: “My bad.”
517Please respect copyright.PENANAXeWufWqaDI
Jake: “Tch, it’s like fighting a machine version of me.”
517Please respect copyright.PENANAAqfqjLvekz
Dovahkiin: “FO KRAH DIIN”
517Please respect copyright.PENANAj9nuMq4kur
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.
517Please respect copyright.PENANAUfInZpgzhu
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.
517Please respect copyright.PENANAc7ZmFCh3UY
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.”
517Please respect copyright.PENANATz0R9jd2EU
Raskeria: “What do you mean?”
517Please respect copyright.PENANAb3kijsdpO7
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.”
517Please respect copyright.PENANAIp6jhAuXjX
Jake: “…Fine.”
517Please respect copyright.PENANAOhciub643V
The other 2 nodded and got into position.
517Please respect copyright.PENANAuQuDFShJqF
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.
517Please respect copyright.PENANAJcFpNrP3FZ
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.
517Please respect copyright.PENANAsMDMGcMfJI
Louise 2: “You got to be kidding me.”517Please respect copyright.PENANAAzdSUvAbED
517Please respect copyright.PENANAagmvEJ19Cs
The Ravager started firing at everything below. Raskeria created another shield around everyone to block the heavy bullet fire.
517Please respect copyright.PENANAaxgm7tFZ80
Raskeria: “Dovahkiin, this is all you. I’ll focus on protecting everyone while you distract it enough to prevent it from firing.”
517Please respect copyright.PENANAB2SmNR43eh
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.
517Please respect copyright.PENANAsv79oX64d0
Despite Dovah’s best efforts though, Ravager wasn’t that bothered by it’s attacks. That was until Dovah started using more unique shouts.
517Please respect copyright.PENANA32brGDmDsn
Dovahkiin: “VEN GAAR NOS!”
517Please respect copyright.PENANAXkJPg803hU
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.
517Please respect copyright.PENANAULOfUhkbhV
Louise 2: “Great, bring it down quick! I can see where the core is! Focus your attacks on its head!”
517Please respect copyright.PENANAzV5fJLH3YN
Raskeria: “I still need to keep the shield on Dovahkiin so I can’t attack.”
517Please respect copyright.PENANALT7FRgwWbR
Louise 2: “That’s a good thing, just focus on support.”
517Please respect copyright.PENANAoQjSgbhWXb
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.
517Please respect copyright.PENANAjoGnsr3TLZ
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.
517Please respect copyright.PENANAlPWukZFOty
Raskeria: “Was that…magic?”
517Please respect copyright.PENANAQxLpwdWQE2
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.”
517Please respect copyright.PENANAKUrQ19nY3T
Dova shrugged it off but still lost some ground. Jake on the other hand was on fire and falling.
517Please respect copyright.PENANAAxwBh6uVmH
Jake: ‘Of course, it had to use fire and lightning of all things.’
517Please respect copyright.PENANAiZ6O6KWL7j
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.
517Please respect copyright.PENANAtcjX94djaj
It abandoned the dragon and went to delete the living weapon. But before it could, another welcomed surprise appeared. The final and winning variable.
517Please respect copyright.PENANA103KBnsPwO
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.
517Please respect copyright.PENANAyzEpfMCvzU
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.
517Please respect copyright.PENANAZSRFHeqNSH
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.
517Please respect copyright.PENANAOGh3cl2g7U
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.
517Please respect copyright.PENANADRCeLMaEZD
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.
517Please respect copyright.PENANAcvk0RCpKs0
Louise 2: “I don’t know who you are but if you can understand me, keep it down while I end this.”
517Please respect copyright.PENANATDVCq95dWf
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.
517Please respect copyright.PENANAN769UO77jj
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.
517Please respect copyright.PENANAfrp4bsXyjO
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.’
517Please respect copyright.PENANAK8WqQSUU6t
The distance between them became smaller.
517Please respect copyright.PENANAbxtvAXDavP
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.
517Please respect copyright.PENANAuMnh89TFlA
20 meters
517Please respect copyright.PENANAbmd5YrQ6wU
Arcs of pink electricity started to form around her.
517Please respect copyright.PENANAp66d7LQwxL
15 meters
517Please respect copyright.PENANAoIgYWSjpgr
She opened her eyes; her vision was surrounded by plenty of warnings but she dismissed them.
517Please respect copyright.PENANAtCCspfFvXi
10 meters
517Please respect copyright.PENANA2GmgIdiMtC
Louise 2: “Adapt to this!”
517Please respect copyright.PENANAVJ97rOqEX4
5 meters
517Please respect copyright.PENANAbRl2d8jA9G
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.
517Please respect copyright.PENANAnh1DAre87y
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.
517Please respect copyright.PENANA5YzyxSIIoY
The sonic boom made it into everyone’s ears. Students screamed and even the fighters had to cover their ears as the ground quaked.
517Please respect copyright.PENANALvxUvQe4Xi
The fighters aside from Jake ran up to the aftermath of the attack. Colbert also came running despite Aeterna’s warning.
517Please respect copyright.PENANAt8sfKv6PyM
Good news, the Ravager now sported a missing head. Bad news, behind the Ravager was a badly damaged Louise 2.
517Please respect copyright.PENANAg7tCBXyhSR
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.
517Please respect copyright.PENANAbdSEim2Agc
Raskeria: “Okay, that looks terrible. But I can fix this.”
517Please respect copyright.PENANA7kHjPxawLg
She started to create ice to cool her down before applying healing magic. But before she could a voice stopped her.
517Please respect copyright.PENANA6t2563Dgac
“STOP, YOU’RE GOING TO KILL HER!”
517Please respect copyright.PENANAjn0IjV3AzE
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.
517Please respect copyright.PENANA2a42y46fF2
Colbert: “Stop, any closer and we’ll consider you an enemy!”
517Please respect copyright.PENANAt7rF2k4tNT
Raskeria: “I vote enemy, where was he when everything was going wrong?”
517Please respect copyright.PENANA7ONle40SjP
Louise 2: “B-Bench? I-Is that…y-you?”
517Please respect copyright.PENANApIxDhyUEAR
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.
517Please respect copyright.PENANAJ4WkqGeQeA
Colbert: “Miss Valliere!”
517Please respect copyright.PENANAwpXIjtLxCV
Louise 2: “Please…let Bench…come to me…professor.”
517Please respect copyright.PENANAWe1cQMsQnR
Raskeria: “But what about my magic? I can heal you good as new.”
517Please respect copyright.PENANA22BrsE7JOe
Louise 2: “Don’t…I…d-don’t know…what effect it…will h-have.”
517Please respect copyright.PENANAluiuIMHwHY
Bench: “Listen to her, I know what to do. Trust me, she’s in good hands.”
517Please respect copyright.PENANAH10SawG8Ov
Raskeria: “…Fine. This whole thing is beyond me anyway.”
517Please respect copyright.PENANARi4rvML8K8
Heeding his words, Raskeria and Colbert moved out of the way. Bench approached Louise 2 and a blue line scanned her entire being.
517Please respect copyright.PENANA42SWRAq1fN
Bench: “You’ve really done it this time Louise.”
517Please respect copyright.PENANAcTOl3PXEl2
Louise 2: “Why does…it…matter…I destroyed…the Ravager.”
517Please respect copyright.PENANActAOaWHKV4
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.”
517Please respect copyright.PENANAfpg0Q0Ft0b
Raskeria: ‘You mean what I was going to do?’
517Please respect copyright.PENANAI5xwhabxEJ
Louise 2: “Then would…this help?”
517Please respect copyright.PENANATPwEuSUcoF
She asks while letting go of a red orb that was giving a low hum.
517Please respect copyright.PENANAuoShRt7dca
Bench: “Is that what I think it is?”
517Please respect copyright.PENANA71Nejm0ihc
Louise 2: “Y-You bet…it is.”
517Please respect copyright.PENANAmECr1Rjs62
A blue line passed over the orb from Bench.
517Please respect copyright.PENANAXDttYmYVte
Bench: “I can’t believe it, a Ravager core.”
517Please respect copyright.PENANA049PNGCQyn
Raskeria: “You mean that’s what we were fighting to destroy? Why is it intact?”
517Please respect copyright.PENANAOYs9uQqiPh
Bench: “Because this might be the only sure way to save Louise.”
517Please respect copyright.PENANAQTWZjTqofA
Raskeria: “Magic is out but the core of that monster is okay?”
517Please respect copyright.PENANAUjkSO8ufVR
Dovahkiin: “I agree, destroy it.”
517Please respect copyright.PENANAZv7xemxQU7
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?”
517Please respect copyright.PENANAp80giFvdka
Raskeria: “No but I’m keeping my eye on you…and that.”
517Please respect copyright.PENANAEQmTpJUior
Bench: “By all means.”
517Please respect copyright.PENANAtodTeaHWMM
Louise 2: “So…can you…d-do it Bench?”
517Please respect copyright.PENANAyWilVjzppz
Bench: “Do you know who you’re talking to?
517Please respect copyright.PENANA2IoajhHDuT
Louise 2: “That’s…good.”
517Please respect copyright.PENANAUouuJt2Jew
Louise 2 finally succumbs to her wounds and passes out. Bench looks to Colbert and gives a stern order.
517Please respect copyright.PENANA0uPSoY4r3j
Bench: “Take me to where your clinic is, I have a Hunter to repair!”
517Please respect copyright.PENANAIHezxAiy7F
Jake: “Wait a minute!”
517Please respect copyright.PENANAxP0dtGlgT6
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.
517Please respect copyright.PENANA2K5p2wYE4o
Bench: “What are you doing?!”
517Please respect copyright.PENANAl5u4Wjp6Hn
Jake: “Just because I helped defeat that thing doesn’t mean we’re allies. I need answers!”
517Please respect copyright.PENANAYhAQtKYmNo
Raskeria: “Calm down Jake, do you really want to fight everyone here?”
517Please respect copyright.PENANABKYmQSAKHU
Jake: “…I’ll do what I have to.”
517Please respect copyright.PENANAIwPIIQqoqD
Colbert: “W-What do you want to know?”
517Please respect copyright.PENANAUWXZo15Ro7
Bench: “We don’t have time for this! Louise will die if Colbert doesn’t show me to the clinic.”
517Please respect copyright.PENANADjc4rAmFzz
Jake: “I don’t care.”
517Please respect copyright.PENANA9PQ7uJ4rYG
Bench: “You-”
517Please respect copyright.PENANAd2xaJSuLIj
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.
517Please respect copyright.PENANA7R9k1rY57c
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.
517Please respect copyright.PENANANVjdWeO4Sc
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.
517Please respect copyright.PENANAO7lpZawyPN
“Can you understand me?”
517Please respect copyright.PENANAwwxlYc2ZOI
Raskeria: ‘A translation spell? Oh, he’s good.’
517Please respect copyright.PENANAJW6trEomGT
Colbert: “Y-Yes.”
517Please respect copyright.PENANAD3cO0qVY6s
“Wonderful, my name is Zander and I’ll take them to the clinic.”
517Please respect copyright.PENANAC1SUZjTwON
Colbert: “But how? You don’t know the way.”
517Please respect copyright.PENANA4IVHy0YzDc
Zander: “I’ll ask one of the students or the staff. I’m sure they’ll help.”
517Please respect copyright.PENANAJ4ErxuqJRv
With a slight twist of his wrist, Louise begins to float off the ground.
517Please respect copyright.PENANAJS62yLTUgT
Zander: “Shall we go Bench?”
517Please respect copyright.PENANAOK0aZASF34
Bench: “Yes, quickly now.”
517Please respect copyright.PENANAS3lOnoyzE6
They begin to leave but before that Zander gives a sharp glare to Jake.
517Please respect copyright.PENANAQdCm8cdYkH
Zander: “I hope I don’t have to come back here and deal with you Jake. I rather we be friends than enemies.”
517Please respect copyright.PENANANDXS05utIC
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.
517Please respect copyright.PENANAPEP2rN7MDV
No one said a word until Zander was gone.
517Please respect copyright.PENANA2CCXuN4EVZ
Colbert: “Okay, so what do you want to know Jake.”
517Please respect copyright.PENANA12PBzWStVz
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…”
517Please respect copyright.PENANAVjCQZBRqWF
Jake brings his blade a bit closer to Colbert which makes everyone tense up, ready for another fight.
517Please respect copyright.PENANAbfrb0GzJxD
Jake: “You will take me back to New York.”
517Please respect copyright.PENANANO68gqD5Q9
Colbert: “I’m sorry but…there’s no way back. None that we know of.”
517Please respect copyright.PENANAifSPNhwppo
The moment those words left his mouth, he felt the urge to slice off his head.
517Please respect copyright.PENANACbIl4znK07
No way to get back to New York meant Blackwatch ran free and the only family he has left was in danger.
517Please respect copyright.PENANADIqeLGYeYg
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.
517Please respect copyright.PENANA5CrpiwMqYK
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.
517Please respect copyright.PENANA6d47BYWhyU
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!”
517Please respect copyright.PENANAJheiRatUyf
Colbert: “Sir, I’m truly sorry but there is no way to reverse this.”
517Please respect copyright.PENANA7IrmPxKDUy
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.
517Please respect copyright.PENANAWKHT6fMwkG
Raskeria: “There might be a way.”
517Please respect copyright.PENANAJ1iqTWQmoh
Everyone turned toward the girl. Jake’s eyes widened with relief but also slow-cooking anger.
517Please respect copyright.PENANA5lYU0j2WHl
Jake: “Tell me.”
517Please respect copyright.PENANARZHHedZr8L
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.”
517Please respect copyright.PENANAbAo7zAM62t
Jake: “Then-”
517Please respect copyright.PENANAihQDijBNXh
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…”
517Please respect copyright.PENANAAyjDBON0rw
Jake: “Or?”
517Please respect copyright.PENANA7fWDx6HioI
Raskeria: “Learn magic and go yourself.”
517Please respect copyright.PENANAApW5lWXFBX
Colbert: “Learn magic?”
517Please respect copyright.PENANAglP1ntn0SO
Raskeria: “Yeah, it will be hard but it can be done.”
517Please respect copyright.PENANAZ3Nq6NtRQG
Jake: “…”
517Please respect copyright.PENANAsYn5BB7ztk
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.
517Please respect copyright.PENANAUqtPvCWra9
But still, time is of the essence. He can’t be gone for long.
517Please respect copyright.PENANAuhmmVjhj76
Jake: “How long would it take for me to learn.”
517Please respect copyright.PENANANLrrif8jyU
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.”
517Please respect copyright.PENANAQfiCPjOwVS
Jake: ‘Years!? No, I don’t have that kind of time. I’ll leave that as a backup.’
517Please respect copyright.PENANAwKjNIgRGWJ
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.”
517Please respect copyright.PENANAW94kdEsd92
Raskeria: “Sure, sure. Right now though, I’m tired. I’m going home and telling everyone what happened. See you. ‘gate’.”
517Please respect copyright.PENANA9sydBT8MAm
A rip in reality appears behind Raskeria. She yawns and goes through which causes it to close.
517Please respect copyright.PENANALSI7Gysjma
Jake: ‘Tch, she better make good on our deal. Or I have another person on my list to kill here.’
517Please respect copyright.PENANA17KwJ5f7hC
Jake: *Sigh*
517Please respect copyright.PENANAkD7mkZucyw
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.”
517Please respect copyright.PENANAl6NS6akpeH
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.
517Please respect copyright.PENANABRtYuvD6Ao
Colbert: “Well, you’re the last one. What will you do?”
517Please respect copyright.PENANAic7kfPFc1r
Dovahkiin: “Stay for now. Jake’s situation seemed more serious than mine so he can get the gate treatment first. Besides…”
517Please respect copyright.PENANAPuNVGYZGwa
Dovahkiin: ‘It’s not all Louise’s fault that I ended up here. Damn that dedric prince.’
517Please respect copyright.PENANACA4Zee5FWq
Colbert: “Yes?”
517Please respect copyright.PENANAzezh7QY4xA
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.”
517Please respect copyright.PENANAK6a7tP8JQi
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.
517Please respect copyright.PENANAnXtnXcQIYB
Colbert: “Brimir save us, what has Louise unleashed…”
517Please respect copyright.PENANAHhXBRgpdX1
[Louise’s Room]
517Please respect copyright.PENANAGALCynYHIZ
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.
517Please respect copyright.PENANAw7faOKfck9
She gently takes her to the bed and lies her down.
517Please respect copyright.PENANA6KCngtZV3O
Aeterna: “Already, that power is drawing dangerous things to you.”
517Please respect copyright.PENANA3lt7YZ8eVw
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.
517Please respect copyright.PENANApvILE54ai3
Aeterna: “Did she really expect me to sleep on that? I guess she was expecting an animal though.”
517Please respect copyright.PENANAaxzL3SBZV0
She looks down at her body and remembers that she’s still wearing lingerie.
517Please respect copyright.PENANAj058QwgEvp
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.”
517Please respect copyright.PENANAqtWy69kINF
With that thought, Aeterna leaves the room.
517Please respect copyright.PENANAqLMHPZWxQT
…
…
517Please respect copyright.PENANAWazwZq2D6V
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.
517Please respect copyright.PENANAsJHjJGueuF
‘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.’
517Please respect copyright.PENANASoXHBWixJy
‘Hehe, I’m getting excited. Sweet dreams Louise.’
517Please respect copyright.PENANARg7yZJDX1U
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.
517Please respect copyright.PENANAdjgqJ3xAeP
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.
517Please respect copyright.PENANAivCAGrVrbN
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.
517Please respect copyright.PENANAPFU3E3Dn2h
Among the clouds and across the forest, more rips threaten to form.
517Please respect copyright.PENANAlr9zy6SHvC
‘Let the games begin.’

517Please respect copyright.PENANAlLCLEXCLJs
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.
517Please respect copyright.PENANAWA5G81kwUw
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.
517Please respect copyright.PENANAkXHRIMXTHY
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.
