Welcome, to my first fan fic. After years, I finally gave in and tried a few.
518Please respect copyright.PENANA5ZIeAR1Bdy
Mostly crossovers.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAiD4wvzoL3O
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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANANnYroW5kh0
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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAebTJWjcQCj
They will be listed at the end of this one-shot.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAQpsmuazOTF
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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAMqSIdbiaia
This is version 1 after all. If I can perfect the foundation and people like it, then I can continue.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAV8eYz6K8FV
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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANALXpyaj0L9i
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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAiCl1UuxmKj
With that out of the way, let’s dive into this slice of eternity in a moment.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAMlF0X4lwDd
518Please respect copyright.PENANA7JBWeEbEvK
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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAuI0Z7JNy2y
Aside from that though, they were also anxious. Anxious about what kind of familiar they would get.
518Please respect copyright.PENANA4D0tgFCfYX
A summoned familiar mirrors their master’s personality and elemental affinity. Who knows what hidden secrets their familiars may accidentally reveal to everyone?
518Please respect copyright.PENANAazB6GSOTSU
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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAfb8fsOnkqY
Yes, all of them have tried and succeeded in summoning a familiar.
518Please respect copyright.PENANALTOLSqKSC7
Well, all but one.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAvvF1XSHGPC
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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAJQgbw05cMu
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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANALLEgI41Pw5
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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANANfDasMf8uN
Colbert: “All right then, has everyone had their turn?”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAPSOHnX7xfi
But the one to fully shatter her hopes was her bully and rival, Kirche von Zerbst. The busty chocolate beauty.
518Please respect copyright.PENANA26b3r4NKF1
Kirche: “No, not quite. Ms. Valliere hasn’t done it.”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAbk2xsqpI2c
Louise: ‘Brimir, darn you Kirche.’
518Please respect copyright.PENANAa7NwvfQl0T
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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANA4sdMHkfpaK
Maybe then, she’ll be respected and can finally deliver some good news to her family.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAoc0gjPFlMT
She goes to the summoning area and prepares to-
518Please respect copyright.PENANAsMlMskJMsh
“Louise the zero.”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAxkFCzSYWK9
“What do you suppose she’ll summon”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAhuMLp9fRJw
“There’s no way she can summon anything. We’ll just have another explosion and nothing else.”
518Please respect copyright.PENANA9NAIeJ5N4z
Kirche: “With all your boasting, you should be able to summon up something more amazing than this. Right, Louise?”
518Please respect copyright.PENANADowu97qNFs
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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAucsQ4OKPEo
Louise: “Well of course!”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAnsuvn1FNY0
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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAyONWy8BXX8
She didn’t know it then but, someone was listening to her prayers.
518Please respect copyright.PENANARcbwhoQrgn
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!”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAJPCQRGwY1O
“And so the die is cast.”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAkSSKtmOa03
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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAzK7sQpe5Uf
…
…
518Please respect copyright.PENANAreqxmVXfjo
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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAbBAkojON6d
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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAUBQekH4WA2
The students quickly collected themselves and began their favorite pass time.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAwSIRIzY2bP
“Hah, I knew it! Once a Zero always a Zero.”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAtzEIfaAiCX
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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANASn5YGUCQBR
The one most scared was Slyphid, the medium-sized blue dragon summoned by the petite blue-haired Tabitha.
518Please respect copyright.PENANA2WQJQiWCwF
Tabitha: “What?”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAEErHErNiQn
Her question brought Slyphid’s head around to look her in the eyes. With their intimate bond, Slyphid was able to respond telepathically.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAsRNZA8mfFd
Slyphid: ‘I smell her! I’m Frightened! But…there’s…more than just her…a…Predator.’
518Please respect copyright.PENANAxAYf4BZxNT
The panicked voice in her head startled Tabitha. For a rhyme dragon of all things to be frightened…
518Please respect copyright.PENANA82tROlivL8
Tabitha: “What do you…mean?”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAH32zCe0HeN
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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANA1YU8hQ5PfC
Louise: ‘Wait!? Shadows?’
518Please respect copyright.PENANAP5z8GTiymh
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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAf0MLzbGK09
When the smoke cleared, something completely unexpected awaited everyone. Not only did Louise summon a human but she summoned multiple familiars.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAMB4F0tFvvo
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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANASn01EKBzrF
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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAx3dEF3IVa0
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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAPWnv6FOsVu
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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAX66hnypsKO
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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAn2FjBpmoQ3
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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAYbgOUEETQ0
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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAFpQbBeLwnY
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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANABkWUq3GfL8
As for Louise, she just couldn’t look away. Especially after what happened next.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAV8CRUG23J1
“Kolo Zu’u, druv los tinvaak dovahzul?”
518Please respect copyright.PENANADPw7bT2vO4
…
…518Please respect copyright.PENANArDUEIgA3zR
518Please respect copyright.PENANAwWwcTMCWSf
Kirche: “Did that dragon just…speak?”
518Please respect copyright.PENANA4Z8lOungLw
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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAIlqILF0gtt
After a few moments of conversation and looking around, they stopped and looked at Louise.
518Please respect copyright.PENANALbAOX5dfE5
“Okay, who summoned us?”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAswwm0OHLQm
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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANA8AHa3WCb0i
Louise: “I-I did. My name is Louise Francoise Le Blanc de La Valliere.”518Please respect copyright.PENANALlbNJLpMKE
518Please respect copyright.PENANAWDS9cfMhXB
“Well hi Louise, my name is Raskreia or Rask for short. This dragon is named Dovahkiin, strange name I know.”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAdjapsvIghn
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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAbMhVDWgmUf
518Please respect copyright.PENANArYpEvyO4fT
Raskreia: “Now, I have questions but first I think we should help the kid.”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAtPTBdgw80D
518Please respect copyright.PENANAYsp8yS1Pj9
Colbert finally escaped his shock and agreed. He asks some students to carry the boy to the infirmary.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAchlHu8KyXa
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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAgDTR3TwJ9L
Colbert: ‘Who knows what could’ve happened if we delayed any further.’
518Please respect copyright.PENANAOVy4omgm05
“Ugh, what, is with the racket.”
518Please respect copyright.PENANALmXaeAdcJH
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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANA1jfLOQ0Cp3
“I slept in an inn in my underwear, and I wake up in a summoning circle in them. Ugh, what even?”
518Please respect copyright.PENANA8pV8N1ODsb
Raskreia: “Well, looks who’s awake.”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAzJmx9runZZ
She sighs.518Please respect copyright.PENANAH0j0oMZH3d
518Please respect copyright.PENANA8rYBsnlveZ
“And I am surrounded by children and a strange dragon.”
518Please respect copyright.PENANARvVhMVk1zV
Colbert: “Since everyone is awake, not including the injured, we should proceed with the bonding ritual.”518Please respect copyright.PENANA0Z16DS70nj
518Please respect copyright.PENANAdaCp7CMPDj
Raskreia: “Sure, if you’re going to explain to us what in the nine hells is going on here exactly and where we are?”518Please respect copyright.PENANAI4P29FnJgj
518Please respect copyright.PENANAplgntaw6cp
At this, Louise answers before the man could.518Please respect copyright.PENANAixMAgmEo2n
518Please respect copyright.PENANAz6LqADanZw
Louise: “You’re here because I summoned you all to be my familiar with the summon servant spell, and I am your master now.”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAeSf9tjEylO
Rask rolls her eyes while the other 2 had more animated responses.518Please respect copyright.PENANAHo4vBrCESk
518Please respect copyright.PENANAbbAdI0NgTh
“Whoa, back the fuck up. Why should I be your familiar?”518Please respect copyright.PENANAP9Eyl71SQn
518Please respect copyright.PENANACoXrjTg7Al
Dovahkiin: “What do you mean by bonding?”518Please respect copyright.PENANAcQRqKdOnPa
518Please respect copyright.PENANAiiuSrKNLwm
Everyone except Rask blinked. That was in Tristainian.518Please respect copyright.PENANAskZp7oR467
518Please respect copyright.PENANAfTsXXqblRD
Dovahkiin: “Oh, so now my voice returns.”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAr2SKawhQHz
Colbert: “You can speak our language?”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAzxygHy7qA4
Dovahkiin: “I can speak this language, but before I was…confused and spoke in native Dovahzul.”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAaMi4eFhm38
Raskreia: “Really? I guess I don’t need this anymore then.”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAShJUqePJnp
Rask puts the ring back in her bag.
518Please respect copyright.PENANA8eHRg6iWtf
Colbert: “Dovahzul, I haven’t heard of that language.”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAmlzoOWfXJg
“Neither have I, strange.”
518Please respect copyright.PENANA8UpkLLk6jI
Dovahkiin: “Enough of this, what do you mean by bonding?”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAJEuch0evwk
Despite the group before her, Louise bravely stepped forward again.
518Please respect copyright.PENANA4devOWkouY
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.”
518Please respect copyright.PENANA1kpsxFP9Bu
The reactions from all summoned present varied but none good.518Please respect copyright.PENANAtfgReKMPQ9
518Please respect copyright.PENANACE3baf7jEK
Raskreia: “I’m fine with getting summoned but getting branded like some animal, no thanks.”518Please respect copyright.PENANAqpaihU28mh
518Please respect copyright.PENANAS5d3vz0JTv
Louise’s mood quickly deteriorates but there’s still hope she thought. She summoned more than one, surely one would agree.
518Please respect copyright.PENANANQWtNfnIKk
But that thought quickly faded away when the dragon growled. It drew itself up by stretching its wings down and glared at Louise.
518Please respect copyright.PENANActgDyIvWmA
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?”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAihdPL8HxVY
Raskreia: ‘Oh no, they made the dragon mad. That’s never a good idea. No matter the plane.’
518Please respect copyright.PENANAjXBuTtvwdW
Colbert stepped in as Louise faltered and took several steps back.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAG6p7uYe7HH
Colbert: “It’s how the holy ritual has been performed for hundreds of years.”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAiTLyH4oOOC
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.”
518Please respect copyright.PENANA80JQ0QQTLy
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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAKoTkFXyzoK
Dovahkiin: “I for one refuse to become anyone’s slave. I simply want to return to the life I lived before this all occurred.”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAot0YImjVb4
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.”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAMfahMpsBMM
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.’518Please respect copyright.PENANAKjOjJMD5hs
518Please respect copyright.PENANAyICewiKvPv
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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAt4K124MHgB
She grips her wand tightly, wishing this was all a dream. Unbeknownst to her, there was one that considered her offer.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAhBA18JpazK
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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAX5vVsXpGGo
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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANATGM6oDviVz
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.518Please respect copyright.PENANA7EEI6jHQjQ
518Please respect copyright.PENANAEEEkonP28b
She knew intimately what happens in situations like that. Despite her previous obligations, the redhead made her choice.518Please respect copyright.PENANA7s5fmBWABO
518Please respect copyright.PENANAaUvEaHw4HU
“If a familiar is what you seek, then you shall have one. I agree to be yours.”
518Please respect copyright.PENANABADA9Nm7rt
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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAIKuygbWgAq
Dovahkiin: “You!? You would subject yourself as a slave to a child? Where is your pride as a Dovah?”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAnTELoHhKLg
“Dovah? I see, that's your word for it. So you can tell?”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAy38QQcsSI1
Dovahkiin: *Nod*
518Please respect copyright.PENANA7MyoC6U0HT
“I have my own reasons.”
518Please respect copyright.PENANA2PLzkqKcWA
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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANA6f0E4AUUbU
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?
518Please respect copyright.PENANAEBw05YiVMe
Raskreia: “Well I won’t judge you. It’s your choice.”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAlFDEvZc1h8
Louise reapplies her rule of steel mask and starts towards the redhead. She let out an indignant, resigned huff as she raised her wand.
518Please respect copyright.PENANApcMTt8DrT9
Louise: “Consider yourself fortunate, commoner. Normally, you’d never in your life have a noble do this to you.”
518Please respect copyright.PENANA8gfJanHS9l
Louise: “My name is Louise Francoise Le Blanc de La Valliere. Oh, pentagon that rules the five elements, bless this individual and-”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAqSG2KbTziN
518Please respect copyright.PENANALPNzZ574Li
‘Did you think this was it?’
518Please respect copyright.PENANAdA3alFYDnc
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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANA95nmtd2C6k
“Louise!?”
518Please respect copyright.PENANA1mRj5IdTxk
Everyone, including the dragon, looks at Louise with concern. Before anyone could go to her and see what’s wrong, something else extraordinary happens.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAMkKiQu7BS9
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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAtU4eVKxIRo
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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANACKnYnPnWbZ
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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAz45vsIjPyd
Raskeria: “The hell was that?”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAGqbK5gZBBV
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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAb26fuC19lq
Colbert: “A golem?”
518Please respect copyright.PENANATirycoBEuF
Dovahkiin: “No, something more.”
518Please respect copyright.PENANATZGbTOrXvD
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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANA2zKkm6rpAh
Guiche: “Unhand me this instant!”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAwUD353DGw2
It didn’t respond instead it brought its other arm up and balled it into a fist.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAWEVB5knZGZ
Guiche: “You would dare hit a noble!? I tell you, my father is a gener-”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAaFRc8KVO5H
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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAGkGit8HB3f
Colbert: “Mister Grammont!”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAEQJJxJG0o7
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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAwjN83DjQb9
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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANABGQJzObba2
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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANA6c7wV9b3LO
Guiche: “L-Louise?”518Please respect copyright.PENANAG0xY48rsbn
518Please respect copyright.PENANA8r4ADSqRMU
Colbert: “But how?”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAgqa5MEGjB1
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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANA5FQvaxVc7j
Raskeria: “Can this day get any crazier?”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAwpWZsl243R
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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAj5pa0wk7EV
Guiche: “How dare-”
518Please respect copyright.PENANA9gmWXsKFPB
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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANADC65KrFyMb
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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAENiR0z7wiq
Regardless, Dova took the golem and threw it across the field away from the students.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAfGQ0TRKz9H
While this was happening, the redhead took Louise to a safe distance. She could help but she wanted to keep Louise safe for now.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAoGDIZMrbCK
Raskeria: “That has to be among the strongest golems I’ve ever seen.”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAiOgnofweX1
Dovahkiin: “It’s like a Dwemer automation but more…advanced somehow.”
518Please respect copyright.PENANA6wLIzhBr0M
Louise?: “I don’t remember you two when I left. Who are you two?”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAjV1cBcc9qa
Raskeria: “Talk later, fight now!”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAPc9Qyr2LVf
Dovahkiin: “YOL TOOR SHUL!”
518Please respect copyright.PENANA8QGmNJwg8s
The dragon breathes intense heat at the golem while Raskeria casts a strange spell that also shoots bolts of fire.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAWUYhADBn3T
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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANA65d2YQZXcK
Raskeria: “Okay, that thing is too dangerous. Disintegrate.”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAI2VGmULRCv
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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAT25TisNuoH
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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAJR4noYXiNG
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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAxLyEdVvy2J
This proved to be the right choice when the sound of lightning cracked from the cloud of dust.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAhlpxR0AsG6
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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAT45vyGvhNE
Raskeria: “Another one!? To think, I was just hanging out with friends and now I have to fight for my life.”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAwt052B9LJa
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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAYVooxP49zV
Eventually, the sound of clicking reached her ears. She disassembled her shield and placed her hands behind her with her palms open.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAbr5ppT9GLx
Louise 2: ‘Here’s my chanc-”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAUFqPKJFerG
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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAeMtXmXFIVW
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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANA3U5mlygDzi
Raskeria: “Did Louise summon another one? I can’t deny it, that’s impressive.”
518Please respect copyright.PENANACHk4QFDj53
Louise 2: “Friend or foe?”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAl7Zqnz9wnk
Jake: “Depends on what happens next. The name’s Jake Logan Anderson, Jake will do.”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAb41tr9SRbW
Dovahkiin: “FUS RO DAH”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAvShZXQDDyv
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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANA37n8qzXkzY
Dovahkiin: ‘I need to get used to this body and fast. I hope that was the last of them.’
518Please respect copyright.PENANAQEuTCi8P9U
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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAr3Y1lzv63p
Louise 2: “Mr. Colbert!”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAPfYrlOegz5
This seemed to jog the man from his shock.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAcvfJgey8j5
Colbert: “Um yes, what do you need Ms….you are Valliere right?”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAv4e2tNWn9E
Louise 2: “Yes. Evacuate everyone from this place right now.”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAsNSV3pvebp
Raskeria: “Why? Isn’t it over?”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAY6LeRdL7RO
Jake: “No, it’s never that easy.”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAnbrqVmQ6cp
Louise 2: “He’s right, this courtyard isn’t safe anymore.”
518Please respect copyright.PENANA8VGpPYcktr
The doppelganger looked at the strangers she fought with.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAf5tayY9qrk
Louise 2: “Can trust one of you to help Colbert protect everyone.”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAHberEGLj8k
Before any of them could answer, the red-head answered.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAOFceTfzc9t
“I’ll protect him along with…you I guess.”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAp8wgTT5mG5
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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAfBZL1xBg7m
Louise 2: “And who are you?”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAFpDoME5mnp
“My name is Aeterna Flamma, your familiar.”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAkOals56LzH
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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANANZMHOkph79
Dovahkiin: “Trust her, she is stronger than she looks.”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAwYpv4DQ8VI
Louise: 2: “…Fine. I won’t argue with a dragon. Especially not now.”
518Please respect copyright.PENANATsq01yvuBc
Aeterna: “Good, come on everyone.”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAD8wFYuoZ0i
Colbert: “Y-You heard them, we can’t stay here any-”
518Please respect copyright.PENANA7lVio9nspH
Suddenly, the sound of something rattling made itself known throughout the courtyard. Louise 2 clicked her tongue.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAsvOC53tPTZ
Louise 2: “Go, NOW!”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAKhYUmOQZdY
They followed her order, many out of fear of the sight before them. The 3 golems slowly but surely collapsed into strange black sand.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAMXZkoll8pf
Jake: “What the fuck?! Are these truly machines?”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAV6Q2joBrdP
Raskeria: “I’m starting to question that too.”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAXjceIWFm8m
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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAsMVt7sdNnA
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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAVzirFWICDG
The arms were next. The left was a massive blade and the right was a massive claw hand.
518Please respect copyright.PENANA7CW0sCQUhO
Finally, the head was bulky enough to discourage any beheading. But the most important part was the lines connecting to the chest area.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAAJv3Z5RlTh
Louise 2: ‘That’s its weak point.’
518Please respect copyright.PENANAgNil7jWwcc
Its eyes finally light up and lock onto the fighters.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAU5bIzYFpgZ
Louise 2: “Just my luck, a Ravager.”
518Please respect copyright.PENANA1VBZ02oJcW
Raskeria: “A what?”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAK7OGulP0Qk
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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANA92TPstBgmY
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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAXrc6LDA30h
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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAlgSJg7YPXO
Louise 2: “Go!”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAiFT993yi9n
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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAgpZOhthFjU
Raskeria aided the group with various spells, mostly fire and stuff like ‘Create Pit’.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAkK00F15xpc
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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANArIOfP0CeQr
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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAp3LrtQjhKr
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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANA3rEcuyZU71
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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAdDvdIFQW40
Raskeria: “Yeah, stay right there. Disintegrate.”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAFuOs3UoEDy
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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAYLdyfZZsqM
Louise 2: “That won’t be enough! We need to destroy its core.”
518Please respect copyright.PENANATXToHkdvN7
Jake: “Where is it then!?”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAr7SB6CKiz6
Louise 2: “It was in its chest but who knows where it will be when it reforms.”
518Please respect copyright.PENANArQECCv3tYB
They look back at Rask and she couldn’t help but rub the back of her head.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAmIYioTzm2a
Raskeria: “My bad.”
518Please respect copyright.PENANA9T8bzL1ALe
Jake: “Tch, it’s like fighting a machine version of me.”
518Please respect copyright.PENANA7ro7VYMmQI
Dovahkiin: “FO KRAH DIIN”
518Please respect copyright.PENANALSObtUrxBI
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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAiUuMubukMh
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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAfiioYIPoO6
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.”
518Please respect copyright.PENANACR9AJZUu6B
Raskeria: “What do you mean?”
518Please respect copyright.PENANA1glDYiIzoL
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.”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAsTBM6UlIUt
Jake: “…Fine.”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAt7MjooqJIm
The other 2 nodded and got into position.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAnURsqL2nrT
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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAoQKDos0bfd
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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAM8w40khSEz
Louise 2: “You got to be kidding me.”518Please respect copyright.PENANADnTojOGtn5
518Please respect copyright.PENANA7yReNFSzf8
The Ravager started firing at everything below. Raskeria created another shield around everyone to block the heavy bullet fire.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAxpcovl0bfr
Raskeria: “Dovahkiin, this is all you. I’ll focus on protecting everyone while you distract it enough to prevent it from firing.”
518Please respect copyright.PENANActftztUNYJ
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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAWJddnODPOc
Despite Dovah’s best efforts though, Ravager wasn’t that bothered by it’s attacks. That was until Dovah started using more unique shouts.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAq5eDZh0Nmo
Dovahkiin: “VEN GAAR NOS!”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAvVRDbqwzET
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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAcvW6R0rrP6
Louise 2: “Great, bring it down quick! I can see where the core is! Focus your attacks on its head!”
518Please respect copyright.PENANApSanIsKpzI
Raskeria: “I still need to keep the shield on Dovahkiin so I can’t attack.”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAgVoN12qLBZ
Louise 2: “That’s a good thing, just focus on support.”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAg01Qq4thyv
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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAKTitn2y6et
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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAYudGVKeGE9
Raskeria: “Was that…magic?”
518Please respect copyright.PENANATcjzftYF9u
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.”
518Please respect copyright.PENANABDj7H9zr16
Dova shrugged it off but still lost some ground. Jake on the other hand was on fire and falling.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAJTkmse0R79
Jake: ‘Of course, it had to use fire and lightning of all things.’
518Please respect copyright.PENANAkbxDkmeXmq
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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAf6pELD19km
It abandoned the dragon and went to delete the living weapon. But before it could, another welcomed surprise appeared. The final and winning variable.
518Please respect copyright.PENANArBR37IluQs
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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAo8pKnFpxI2
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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAJtfTR2mtBm
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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAMNCKjRN69x
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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAhMIfFd7ava
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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAsjmYADwswb
Louise 2: “I don’t know who you are but if you can understand me, keep it down while I end this.”
518Please respect copyright.PENANA8oDaEMC7aG
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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAxIaKX4NgLR
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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANADiu7bM81lQ
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.’
518Please respect copyright.PENANAIbrrSQfZR6
The distance between them became smaller.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAfTxEe9s3XM
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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAlT0QUBU6eR
20 meters
518Please respect copyright.PENANAIaTYRQtylJ
Arcs of pink electricity started to form around her.
518Please respect copyright.PENANARlAAMthF2j
15 meters
518Please respect copyright.PENANAI8AdIOy9E8
She opened her eyes; her vision was surrounded by plenty of warnings but she dismissed them.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAxoOBWkFAh7
10 meters
518Please respect copyright.PENANAcVOxJAKL0N
Louise 2: “Adapt to this!”
518Please respect copyright.PENANASbvYbCSWV0
5 meters
518Please respect copyright.PENANA58IElhyecD
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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAseMIhurS1q
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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAUvHE2mrUvL
The sonic boom made it into everyone’s ears. Students screamed and even the fighters had to cover their ears as the ground quaked.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAQue37C3MGX
The fighters aside from Jake ran up to the aftermath of the attack. Colbert also came running despite Aeterna’s warning.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAJx4XA8snZm
Good news, the Ravager now sported a missing head. Bad news, behind the Ravager was a badly damaged Louise 2.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAtsbT4ibZNK
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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANALqcHCLGMHQ
Raskeria: “Okay, that looks terrible. But I can fix this.”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAvoCBnSuONL
She started to create ice to cool her down before applying healing magic. But before she could a voice stopped her.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAAybYzYOtR3
“STOP, YOU’RE GOING TO KILL HER!”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAOHFZxVgYFy
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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANA5IzKYlgRYH
Colbert: “Stop, any closer and we’ll consider you an enemy!”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAeeEm4dp1lL
Raskeria: “I vote enemy, where was he when everything was going wrong?”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAiCLvnnYuVh
Louise 2: “B-Bench? I-Is that…y-you?”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAavTHhU1xMk
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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAEDdVc3ejuE
Colbert: “Miss Valliere!”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAveLUcPZ0zi
Louise 2: “Please…let Bench…come to me…professor.”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAz5Cliw4EFe
Raskeria: “But what about my magic? I can heal you good as new.”
518Please respect copyright.PENANABEAagVjoNB
Louise 2: “Don’t…I…d-don’t know…what effect it…will h-have.”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAhu3BlTnwdL
Bench: “Listen to her, I know what to do. Trust me, she’s in good hands.”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAumOiTk36IK
Raskeria: “…Fine. This whole thing is beyond me anyway.”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAOwoHHFqdkg
Heeding his words, Raskeria and Colbert moved out of the way. Bench approached Louise 2 and a blue line scanned her entire being.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAM6d4p7Ib8s
Bench: “You’ve really done it this time Louise.”
518Please respect copyright.PENANARH2tqzd8Np
Louise 2: “Why does…it…matter…I destroyed…the Ravager.”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAUjkat9ntsE
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.”
518Please respect copyright.PENANA3Wbpp2Q22A
Raskeria: ‘You mean what I was going to do?’
518Please respect copyright.PENANASTuVrUkf7b
Louise 2: “Then would…this help?”
518Please respect copyright.PENANA9Ev3DthzqM
She asks while letting go of a red orb that was giving a low hum.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAjAvuR4CLHm
Bench: “Is that what I think it is?”
518Please respect copyright.PENANALFIzO2K2ik
Louise 2: “Y-You bet…it is.”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAD73OegXIDy
A blue line passed over the orb from Bench.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAWQv1tALVRc
Bench: “I can’t believe it, a Ravager core.”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAvkuL9qR8qt
Raskeria: “You mean that’s what we were fighting to destroy? Why is it intact?”
518Please respect copyright.PENANA2uBtgwkPIK
Bench: “Because this might be the only sure way to save Louise.”
518Please respect copyright.PENANANcVPO1JcnW
Raskeria: “Magic is out but the core of that monster is okay?”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAqbnX4EDyWc
Dovahkiin: “I agree, destroy it.”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAFPD7lLmbrA
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?”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAKvL4M7RCLl
Raskeria: “No but I’m keeping my eye on you…and that.”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAddh6mFQzMD
Bench: “By all means.”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAY3rmhHOWzw
Louise 2: “So…can you…d-do it Bench?”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAwg7l4fhQhA
Bench: “Do you know who you’re talking to?
518Please respect copyright.PENANA8KZwjPib2m
Louise 2: “That’s…good.”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAKmDUeMFRPF
Louise 2 finally succumbs to her wounds and passes out. Bench looks to Colbert and gives a stern order.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAeaobiL0rKW
Bench: “Take me to where your clinic is, I have a Hunter to repair!”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAGQpOtaXWMW
Jake: “Wait a minute!”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAKWsXsYWM6N
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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAkCOQQ8AipC
Bench: “What are you doing?!”
518Please respect copyright.PENANA7R15ylUyCc
Jake: “Just because I helped defeat that thing doesn’t mean we’re allies. I need answers!”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAD9kPdqkmPc
Raskeria: “Calm down Jake, do you really want to fight everyone here?”
518Please respect copyright.PENANARxca0CdCb3
Jake: “…I’ll do what I have to.”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAeB4hUiWRez
Colbert: “W-What do you want to know?”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAvXygMvDKo0
Bench: “We don’t have time for this! Louise will die if Colbert doesn’t show me to the clinic.”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAir898RorLI
Jake: “I don’t care.”
518Please respect copyright.PENANArLPKipT2wL
Bench: “You-”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAdRVJgm78G2
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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAX8M0Url7Q9
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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAnUYrimAOqX
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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANA8awZAj7ixl
“Can you understand me?”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAyPVeg13INf
Raskeria: ‘A translation spell? Oh, he’s good.’
518Please respect copyright.PENANAlMoZb56Svb
Colbert: “Y-Yes.”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAso4YJwuzPD
“Wonderful, my name is Zander and I’ll take them to the clinic.”
518Please respect copyright.PENANA9cYe3zRIRV
Colbert: “But how? You don’t know the way.”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAbZzIaTdscd
Zander: “I’ll ask one of the students or the staff. I’m sure they’ll help.”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAGiZs9CAEHT
With a slight twist of his wrist, Louise begins to float off the ground.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAjoHHc67Fu3
Zander: “Shall we go Bench?”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAaTm1ROeB5f
Bench: “Yes, quickly now.”
518Please respect copyright.PENANA48hi30x2od
They begin to leave but before that Zander gives a sharp glare to Jake.

Zander: “I hope I don’t have to come back here and deal with you Jake. I rather we be friends than enemies.”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAQVOrktddZ0
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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAVeseV3OGLo
No one said a word until Zander was gone.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAMXgLXCQwGy
Colbert: “Okay, so what do you want to know Jake.”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAUTvNL9dLEz
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…”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAYuDAMsBts1
Jake brings his blade a bit closer to Colbert which makes everyone tense up, ready for another fight.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAYDrrdRZUDL
Jake: “You will take me back to New York.”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAS8fAElozZL
Colbert: “I’m sorry but…there’s no way back. None that we know of.”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAHOJTDuHuwC
The moment those words left his mouth, he felt the urge to slice off his head.
518Please respect copyright.PENANA2dqASYnxOp
No way to get back to New York meant Blackwatch ran free and the only family he has left was in danger.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAnjXONatePZ
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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANA8xHNAXACjj
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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANA4zp55URusL
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!”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAxag7NIhh7i
Colbert: “Sir, I’m truly sorry but there is no way to reverse this.”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAhajKjupX7A
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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANADeUw7jTU5p
Raskeria: “There might be a way.”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAE9X5OkozCL
Everyone turned toward the girl. Jake’s eyes widened with relief but also slow-cooking anger.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAfvV7CbTnj4
Jake: “Tell me.”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAj1zTk6x1w8
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.”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAYoLFrDYoEi
Jake: “Then-”
518Please respect copyright.PENANA07VSmAodn5
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…”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAjhXXRlKq0c
Jake: “Or?”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAhvvOlmqb42
Raskeria: “Learn magic and go yourself.”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAZ3JjV4zojV
Colbert: “Learn magic?”
518Please respect copyright.PENANALhSxOmMYet
Raskeria: “Yeah, it will be hard but it can be done.”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAzbwuIyHShL
Jake: “…”
518Please respect copyright.PENANApju77fTFAT
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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANADv4PTkVEsk
But still, time is of the essence. He can’t be gone for long.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAfnTggjRZ8L
Jake: “How long would it take for me to learn.”
518Please respect copyright.PENANA4500iGQCmJ
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.”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAXrqocRZJIA
Jake: ‘Years!? No, I don’t have that kind of time. I’ll leave that as a backup.’
518Please respect copyright.PENANACtSQCYL5LF
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.”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAt3foqi5dfH
Raskeria: “Sure, sure. Right now though, I’m tired. I’m going home and telling everyone what happened. See you. ‘gate’.”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAXZMMx9fEQ0
A rip in reality appears behind Raskeria. She yawns and goes through which causes it to close.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAhFB7y3610u
Jake: ‘Tch, she better make good on our deal. Or I have another person on my list to kill here.’
518Please respect copyright.PENANA5FaRCcQBJc
Jake: *Sigh*
518Please respect copyright.PENANA9jBubPJe6k
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.”
518Please respect copyright.PENANADVXlnNJJWb
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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAMapKJ0KgsG
Colbert: “Well, you’re the last one. What will you do?”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAqeY1rIX00r
Dovahkiin: “Stay for now. Jake’s situation seemed more serious than mine so he can get the gate treatment first. Besides…”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAgbXfJSFz3n
Dovahkiin: ‘It’s not all Louise’s fault that I ended up here. Damn that dedric prince.’
518Please respect copyright.PENANAECExzE5R2t
Colbert: “Yes?”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAeRnBLJh7ef
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.”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAsbfALj9fbL
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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAaMjv3cPK50
Colbert: “Brimir save us, what has Louise unleashed…”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAq7Ni2rcdAf
[Louise’s Room]
518Please respect copyright.PENANAxJVpILDfU7
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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAk0w6ryObvY
She gently takes her to the bed and lies her down.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAVVACaqwVjF
Aeterna: “Already, that power is drawing dangerous things to you.”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAqu2ea4vEdV
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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAqq8r4VE7SD
Aeterna: “Did she really expect me to sleep on that? I guess she was expecting an animal though.”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAKqraSIBe9h
She looks down at her body and remembers that she’s still wearing lingerie.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAGY2OQX8xpf
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.”
518Please respect copyright.PENANALR5px7YuvM
With that thought, Aeterna leaves the room.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAJXh9nSnjyG
…
…
518Please respect copyright.PENANAjbzKcquJZA
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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAvPRTpJddTI
‘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.’
518Please respect copyright.PENANA5CmvpPURlE
‘Hehe, I’m getting excited. Sweet dreams Louise.’
518Please respect copyright.PENANAIaNZlrdVfm
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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAu4qaNLHq7m
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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAD8JzVW79AS
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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANADy0zWeTmPr
Among the clouds and across the forest, more rips threaten to form.
518Please respect copyright.PENANA8dCdNMGIWi

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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAbhkTcT1LP6
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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAeCKZExfrq6
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.
