Welcome, to my first fan fic. After years, I finally gave in and tried a few.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHW0JIuZvxW
Mostly crossovers.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2ZFSBLpJU
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.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbc39WqENs
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.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6Ou8nypXQ
They will be listed at the end of this one-shot.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAK5kkykVg0
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.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYC1m6NubSK
This is version 1 after all. If I can perfect the foundation and people like it, then I can continue.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuomxubj6C
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.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGw96H36fsk
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.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zxngPTdS0
With that out of the way, let’s dive into this slice of eternity in a moment.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMN0OCJ0kNn
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPE0Ug5bGd
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.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVnzNc36jN
Aside from that though, they were also anxious. Anxious about what kind of familiar they would get.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JbnsYwrl7
A summoned familiar mirrors their master’s personality and elemental affinity. Who knows what hidden secrets their familiars may accidentally reveal to everyone?
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWX2rv11Vz0
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.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxnBNxIbkz
Yes, all of them have tried and succeeded in summoning a familiar.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXD6qW11NHN
Well, all but one.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4X1E0PBUZF
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.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBseKdH2UrE
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.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRM1KUPSEt
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.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JWlgc55g1
Colbert: “All right then, has everyone had their turn?”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3AcvJKWhL
But the one to fully shatter her hopes was her bully and rival, Kirche von Zerbst. The busty chocolate beauty.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHedSb90Cwa
Kirche: “No, not quite. Ms. Valliere hasn’t done it.”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPaD3KxKX1U
Louise: ‘Brimir, darn you Kirche.’
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQKa7BuRI8
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.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLP3pyVmRa9
Maybe then, she’ll be respected and can finally deliver some good news to her family.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaORkpcEasa
She goes to the summoning area and prepares to-
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStvU1HXydx
“Louise the zero.”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmi3NS7pib
“What do you suppose she’ll summon”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKa2nudO1qv
“There’s no way she can summon anything. We’ll just have another explosion and nothing else.”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRArHWiemj
Kirche: “With all your boasting, you should be able to summon up something more amazing than this. Right, Louise?”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8oWT25gvak
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.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yRY9BBHHy
Louise: “Well of course!”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDG0PyBXYAO
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.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mw5wblGHT
She didn’t know it then but, someone was listening to her prayers.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7HfCQurke
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!”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqgVXsafZw
“And so the die is cast.”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4LEsir81g
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.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bfZbqnRLZ
…
…
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntmB4Xi1tU
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.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7b0sq9VAZ
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.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKdB3or4pe
The students quickly collected themselves and began their favorite pass time.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVDhWsfD7y
“Hah, I knew it! Once a Zero always a Zero.”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrcwHBpUF9
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.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgs0dDn0GbZ
The one most scared was Slyphid, the medium-sized blue dragon summoned by the petite blue-haired Tabitha.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjGoCVgqXU
Tabitha: “What?”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr60zxe1xVJ
Her question brought Slyphid’s head around to look her in the eyes. With their intimate bond, Slyphid was able to respond telepathically.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjL1S7ewL1
Slyphid: ‘I smell her! I’m Frightened! But…there’s…more than just her…a…Predator.’
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZ2lqrd7tc
The panicked voice in her head startled Tabitha. For a rhyme dragon of all things to be frightened…
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBobzcoJwI
Tabitha: “What do you…mean?”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSUjuuxbz6
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.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6bxSUWyFy
Louise: ‘Wait!? Shadows?’
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyG8BRAfngF
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.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElo9EQkmuY
When the smoke cleared, something completely unexpected awaited everyone. Not only did Louise summon a human but she summoned multiple familiars.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyiVAHRhm9
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.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirjXgsAUy5
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.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Jab2COJaS
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.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOGyZxljeB
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.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2SfqcLpIi
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.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Y2SoX4R4V
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.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JzXq1FepQ
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.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMkElboNfu
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.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwAC6CTIhV
As for Louise, she just couldn’t look away. Especially after what happened next.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOeR8IiKSu
“Kolo Zu’u, druv los tinvaak dovahzul?”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1k4bIepBv4
…
…593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYRPP8AYZR
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCclaSxI3Wo
Kirche: “Did that dragon just…speak?”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WzxXYfd3T
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.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnyZZGO9Q4
After a few moments of conversation and looking around, they stopped and looked at Louise.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwEXNkGnZu
“Okay, who summoned us?”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPb1aFp9Ah
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.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLmZps389h
Louise: “I-I did. My name is Louise Francoise Le Blanc de La Valliere.”593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJt4BmrpM3
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDWggwbG1S
“Well hi Louise, my name is Raskreia or Rask for short. This dragon is named Dovahkiin, strange name I know.”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPKYfdiIJd
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.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqgQCi4xU1
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzb3TVUxNg
Raskreia: “Now, I have questions but first I think we should help the kid.”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8FuuiHofF
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoZSod5gS5
Colbert finally escaped his shock and agreed. He asks some students to carry the boy to the infirmary.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWoacbrWh6
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.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3Hws0EXVz
Colbert: ‘Who knows what could’ve happened if we delayed any further.’
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9KLP4BL8X
“Ugh, what, is with the racket.”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVz6aBoJMV
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.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBNiMzGbGq
“I slept in an inn in my underwear, and I wake up in a summoning circle in them. Ugh, what even?”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvKu4EFC1c
Raskreia: “Well, looks who’s awake.”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiahB1Lu7as
She sighs.593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7QYCi9c8n
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gtAeFDe1f
“And I am surrounded by children and a strange dragon.”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdwb4SzxnM
Colbert: “Since everyone is awake, not including the injured, we should proceed with the bonding ritual.”593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjzn3UprWr
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7C20Q3XEV
Raskreia: “Sure, if you’re going to explain to us what in the nine hells is going on here exactly and where we are?”593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibjZcXhdbL
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3nohjylij
At this, Louise answers before the man could.593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcxPKSj2vg
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXyWxSZeBa
Louise: “You’re here because I summoned you all to be my familiar with the summon servant spell, and I am your master now.”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyRgWpoJwe
Rask rolls her eyes while the other 2 had more animated responses.593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnetId6bbu
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbRZOFEVOM
“Whoa, back the fuck up. Why should I be your familiar?”593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZgSthWRNl
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2onSyMwqU
Dovahkiin: “What do you mean by bonding?”593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkAZCTDak8
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMv1VRmizz
Everyone except Rask blinked. That was in Tristainian.593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoLa3vy9yv
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gMrcTJgTJ
Dovahkiin: “Oh, so now my voice returns.”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZuo73HhjV
Colbert: “You can speak our language?”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGNAJwq4CS
Dovahkiin: “I can speak this language, but before I was…confused and spoke in native Dovahzul.”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGkztiD8Ap
Raskreia: “Really? I guess I don’t need this anymore then.”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIa1SXxnjB
Rask puts the ring back in her bag.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56YpD9fg9f
Colbert: “Dovahzul, I haven’t heard of that language.”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Iu2xR34bo
“Neither have I, strange.”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2wwM8qsNU
Dovahkiin: “Enough of this, what do you mean by bonding?”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3oc78G0nH
Despite the group before her, Louise bravely stepped forward again.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvSEumDWMS
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.”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfGCy5yktK
The reactions from all summoned present varied but none good.593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbm47atswgO
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHF27QGpzZa
Raskreia: “I’m fine with getting summoned but getting branded like some animal, no thanks.”593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMVDKALfPl
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SpY2gKAck
Louise’s mood quickly deteriorates but there’s still hope she thought. She summoned more than one, surely one would agree.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZ3QRT4Xec
But that thought quickly faded away when the dragon growled. It drew itself up by stretching its wings down and glared at Louise.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRSGr834KR
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?”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4n6bgG0CH
Raskreia: ‘Oh no, they made the dragon mad. That’s never a good idea. No matter the plane.’
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NHlem6Yll
Colbert stepped in as Louise faltered and took several steps back.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7VcRfFv7d
Colbert: “It’s how the holy ritual has been performed for hundreds of years.”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkc1wtESpB
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.”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjyLFBxKck
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.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61F5MPut4x
Dovahkiin: “I for one refuse to become anyone’s slave. I simply want to return to the life I lived before this all occurred.”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHweksQeMx7
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.”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlc35LUuxKt
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.’593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbnouJBf5t
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPyFFVhlHf
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.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RKu0W9GWz
She grips her wand tightly, wishing this was all a dream. Unbeknownst to her, there was one that considered her offer.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaK7qTMddbM
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.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHIqZY9BlU
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.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hSQuMRS22
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.593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCSsK9QZd5
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9RwCjfKqk
She knew intimately what happens in situations like that. Despite her previous obligations, the redhead made her choice.593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AFcD7VISq
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeJQqWgeuL
“If a familiar is what you seek, then you shall have one. I agree to be yours.”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsn37uwS2ao
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.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0LWcnMJfV
Dovahkiin: “You!? You would subject yourself as a slave to a child? Where is your pride as a Dovah?”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmP30yp2zP
“Dovah? I see, that's your word for it. So you can tell?”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5AVcv2OzO
Dovahkiin: *Nod*
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8ySeFu4at
“I have my own reasons.”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlPNbVKC7q
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.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozjQeBWqky
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?
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMUG1AEQVt
Raskreia: “Well I won’t judge you. It’s your choice.”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyVV0wI2Gj
Louise reapplies her rule of steel mask and starts towards the redhead. She let out an indignant, resigned huff as she raised her wand.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIrPyQnWyZ
Louise: “Consider yourself fortunate, commoner. Normally, you’d never in your life have a noble do this to you.”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnlbIz78SH
Louise: “My name is Louise Francoise Le Blanc de La Valliere. Oh, pentagon that rules the five elements, bless this individual and-”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FllyNGvvU
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9lMz3No0X
‘Did you think this was it?’
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtM7XWyD1d
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.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwyZmpJCMt
“Louise!?”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqYRAAUczZ
Everyone, including the dragon, looks at Louise with concern. Before anyone could go to her and see what’s wrong, something else extraordinary happens.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVv4jiDXV4
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.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXioMoSI3iD
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.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsSg5CCY3f
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.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidebwEZLqx
Raskeria: “The hell was that?”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6i4kxku6w
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.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfeunK7Xfk
Colbert: “A golem?”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRluJw69rf
Dovahkiin: “No, something more.”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLVXCdDVCI
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.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡId3GhMRs0E
Guiche: “Unhand me this instant!”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xQYCeYB0U
It didn’t respond instead it brought its other arm up and balled it into a fist.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwv4bpO8CCC
Guiche: “You would dare hit a noble!? I tell you, my father is a gener-”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjVhu1FOQ0
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.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAv9AiXcPMK
Colbert: “Mister Grammont!”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGHGqFJxjF
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.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2CcN0xibW
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.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxHOrF4bTv
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.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPIgwkO8up
Guiche: “L-Louise?”593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwbRbufgT5
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrM330WEEg
Colbert: “But how?”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFrOX6klFq
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.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fAZejuais
Raskeria: “Can this day get any crazier?”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkRx7dgjEq
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.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjV94OgjTf8
Guiche: “How dare-”

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.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wk1jJlI1d
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.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlwK5ZZW9e
Regardless, Dova took the golem and threw it across the field away from the students.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSAWUrVihN
While this was happening, the redhead took Louise to a safe distance. She could help but she wanted to keep Louise safe for now.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRs5mC3bom
Raskeria: “That has to be among the strongest golems I’ve ever seen.”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSghc6WhUZ
Dovahkiin: “It’s like a Dwemer automation but more…advanced somehow.”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsWTEsslHJ
Louise?: “I don’t remember you two when I left. Who are you two?”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTEiATN0JB
Raskeria: “Talk later, fight now!”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXojj6ROLf
Dovahkiin: “YOL TOOR SHUL!”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIDIxyuSjk
The dragon breathes intense heat at the golem while Raskeria casts a strange spell that also shoots bolts of fire.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8judObSz3
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.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEUGWnX3aF
Raskeria: “Okay, that thing is too dangerous. Disintegrate.”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6YT200qPv
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.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdieEsFmDdM
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.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmza3Nd335t
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.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2m0SSRq7Mt
This proved to be the right choice when the sound of lightning cracked from the cloud of dust.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6dsbjz4kw
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.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGULvCS1iU
Raskeria: “Another one!? To think, I was just hanging out with friends and now I have to fight for my life.”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lhq2kFFP2
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.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4axTW3rqY
Eventually, the sound of clicking reached her ears. She disassembled her shield and placed her hands behind her with her palms open.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXjMZk9VF7
Louise 2: ‘Here’s my chanc-”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAO9S8LhW7
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.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdcADRn7qi
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.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVr5fYJQda
Raskeria: “Did Louise summon another one? I can’t deny it, that’s impressive.”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡciUdA1Ppv9
Louise 2: “Friend or foe?”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbzoOnvrGw
Jake: “Depends on what happens next. The name’s Jake Logan Anderson, Jake will do.”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpBpoXXn17
Dovahkiin: “FUS RO DAH”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXX1NV1B1YK
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.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlUb23yGXH
Dovahkiin: ‘I need to get used to this body and fast. I hope that was the last of them.’
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKePcMlYgL
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.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRbs6O2XOu
Louise 2: “Mr. Colbert!”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6uqEX1QPv
This seemed to jog the man from his shock.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cVyjh0V2h
Colbert: “Um yes, what do you need Ms….you are Valliere right?”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyvtl4uSGz
Louise 2: “Yes. Evacuate everyone from this place right now.”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmenZWREU9
Raskeria: “Why? Isn’t it over?”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwAC9AZ1zN
Jake: “No, it’s never that easy.”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGBY4g47OE
Louise 2: “He’s right, this courtyard isn’t safe anymore.”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstzhVTNJcE
The doppelganger looked at the strangers she fought with.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjFn7fUysU
Louise 2: “Can trust one of you to help Colbert protect everyone.”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHay6nWzDQ
Before any of them could answer, the red-head answered.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6AmHb6FqPT
“I’ll protect him along with…you I guess.”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHQ8WBFTKG
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.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWH7IK1CWj
Louise 2: “And who are you?”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCENDxDsyo
“My name is Aeterna Flamma, your familiar.”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA006rKYlrQ
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.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZpe2vxcPh
Dovahkiin: “Trust her, she is stronger than she looks.”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tRq5T4ZVy
Louise: 2: “…Fine. I won’t argue with a dragon. Especially not now.”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZBvf3iPqr
Aeterna: “Good, come on everyone.”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmyxCTgW6Z
Colbert: “Y-You heard them, we can’t stay here any-”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0Xm8N8vZZ
Suddenly, the sound of something rattling made itself known throughout the courtyard. Louise 2 clicked her tongue.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ692EuZsVxN
Louise 2: “Go, NOW!”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeh2OjnlFbZ
They followed her order, many out of fear of the sight before them. The 3 golems slowly but surely collapsed into strange black sand.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiPLfyOGvM
Jake: “What the fuck?! Are these truly machines?”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iqyGcvJmU
Raskeria: “I’m starting to question that too.”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVrcpRmmtk
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.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWDxrQBd11
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.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFCZPweiPy
The arms were next. The left was a massive blade and the right was a massive claw hand.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNCwnGUNSv
Finally, the head was bulky enough to discourage any beheading. But the most important part was the lines connecting to the chest area.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLOjq5uwYs
Louise 2: ‘That’s its weak point.’
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjvSeRXE9y
Its eyes finally light up and lock onto the fighters.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZ01JGVZNv
Louise 2: “Just my luck, a Ravager.”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hG5DaGmU5
Raskeria: “A what?”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGPO3w5ncA
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.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNyPWAe4Jm
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.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU02WRrzxmZ
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.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMHdsXoLgL
Louise 2: “Go!”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfSd0qzSIj
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.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnaQ1C2GBOR
Raskeria aided the group with various spells, mostly fire and stuff like ‘Create Pit’.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xzd4N4DIu
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.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBRxK6nsgX
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.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKLpI0teyC
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.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBt3nBZ2Zj
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.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PwphDBRB3
Raskeria: “Yeah, stay right there. Disintegrate.”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXR1iMC93kb
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.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuwN0V6HWq
Louise 2: “That won’t be enough! We need to destroy its core.”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMoxhyYqRlp
Jake: “Where is it then!?”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDn4gzXD9zo
Louise 2: “It was in its chest but who knows where it will be when it reforms.”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSR70kv77az
They look back at Rask and she couldn’t help but rub the back of her head.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAY5U3o2AO
Raskeria: “My bad.”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvulqecMMZ9
Jake: “Tch, it’s like fighting a machine version of me.”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6v0WPceRf
Dovahkiin: “FO KRAH DIIN”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8JsBdNQHg
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.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yzxZmwcNT
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.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYHUfCwGn7
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.”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SmNdVuPIM
Raskeria: “What do you mean?”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIJt6RD8CL
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.”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmDAgZiKyH
Jake: “…Fine.”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYy13rsZMSA
The other 2 nodded and got into position.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbxwDJij4t
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.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8hzrqBjXD
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.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjaYrgzxaiS
Louise 2: “You got to be kidding me.”593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgHWq3kiR9
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNmBVt0LXa
The Ravager started firing at everything below. Raskeria created another shield around everyone to block the heavy bullet fire.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3UnMs9DJq
Raskeria: “Dovahkiin, this is all you. I’ll focus on protecting everyone while you distract it enough to prevent it from firing.”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcy53j8RRoD
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.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuH8wtczn7
Despite Dovah’s best efforts though, Ravager wasn’t that bothered by it’s attacks. That was until Dovah started using more unique shouts.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwC9az9TnH0
Dovahkiin: “VEN GAAR NOS!”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNc4t2FSyi
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.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsw6ZjfAgG3
Louise 2: “Great, bring it down quick! I can see where the core is! Focus your attacks on its head!”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPWx426jqC
Raskeria: “I still need to keep the shield on Dovahkiin so I can’t attack.”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHbWtlmjU1
Louise 2: “That’s a good thing, just focus on support.”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYAWa0tctb
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.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbhBhfQDr4
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.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOGK9fbEMR
Raskeria: “Was that…magic?”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTocYjwyaeu
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.”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2UEFksISy
Dova shrugged it off but still lost some ground. Jake on the other hand was on fire and falling.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZHrJvYKXH
Jake: ‘Of course, it had to use fire and lightning of all things.’
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Bfxuste7D
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.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVCtjOJnm8
It abandoned the dragon and went to delete the living weapon. But before it could, another welcomed surprise appeared. The final and winning variable.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBndPlmT1c
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.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGlUY1moC2
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.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OLTaDJ4W7
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.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZfT7jA9bb
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.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡen2AiKQkhA
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.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0A7u4OKWxC
Louise 2: “I don’t know who you are but if you can understand me, keep it down while I end this.”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWuWBmwa9i
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.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhTwYX7Kvu
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.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoX9W87384V
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.’
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXbmP3uEcL
The distance between them became smaller.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2odwUNVuM
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.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWKDGngFGp

Arcs of pink electricity started to form around her.

593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yjwZfkxoV
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.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXEXpaig9u
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.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTd5v0Od67
The sonic boom made it into everyone’s ears. Students screamed and even the fighters had to cover their ears as the ground quaked.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxu8v1lWGWb
The fighters aside from Jake ran up to the aftermath of the attack. Colbert also came running despite Aeterna’s warning.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2yexjS3KN
Good news, the Ravager now sported a missing head. Bad news, behind the Ravager was a badly damaged Louise 2.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOW9PlyxsD
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.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklomDO013V
Raskeria: “Okay, that looks terrible. But I can fix this.”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphml6VEkAn
She started to create ice to cool her down before applying healing magic. But before she could a voice stopped her.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUB03roYE0
“STOP, YOU’RE GOING TO KILL HER!”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8UIlNqvA4
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.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5HQw9uwZ5
Colbert: “Stop, any closer and we’ll consider you an enemy!”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpbld8le1v
Raskeria: “I vote enemy, where was he when everything was going wrong?”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTY8Kj5AlB
Louise 2: “B-Bench? I-Is that…y-you?”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovV0bsleRY
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.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwW5pEEDNW
Colbert: “Miss Valliere!”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3idT0zlhp
Louise 2: “Please…let Bench…come to me…professor.”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnKPLTqgJW
Raskeria: “But what about my magic? I can heal you good as new.”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5gTqnaueC
Louise 2: “Don’t…I…d-don’t know…what effect it…will h-have.”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXuKOgG6IO
Bench: “Listen to her, I know what to do. Trust me, she’s in good hands.”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqkXX4bGiC
Raskeria: “…Fine. This whole thing is beyond me anyway.”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKmZBJLgrZ
Heeding his words, Raskeria and Colbert moved out of the way. Bench approached Louise 2 and a blue line scanned her entire being.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWXpl6N4lQ
Bench: “You’ve really done it this time Louise.”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvdtOicaW7
Louise 2: “Why does…it…matter…I destroyed…the Ravager.”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznAbvZzJVd
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.”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjW0GMUeYo
Raskeria: ‘You mean what I was going to do?’
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJr77UcEeF1
Louise 2: “Then would…this help?”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxBJCAXqlV
She asks while letting go of a red orb that was giving a low hum.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLuMR0NlUn
Bench: “Is that what I think it is?”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatJFcpaptT
Louise 2: “Y-You bet…it is.”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbNOlOy6hc
A blue line passed over the orb from Bench.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOXo90Izh2
Bench: “I can’t believe it, a Ravager core.”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqVqwMPlRT
Raskeria: “You mean that’s what we were fighting to destroy? Why is it intact?”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkv1o1OZbaI
Bench: “Because this might be the only sure way to save Louise.”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwobqI0JW8
Raskeria: “Magic is out but the core of that monster is okay?”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLs3w1SuEDr
Dovahkiin: “I agree, destroy it.”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPV7Vxf9bCy
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?”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHBfbm4fIp
Raskeria: “No but I’m keeping my eye on you…and that.”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwaxtN2JJh7
Bench: “By all means.”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUxwdlAc33

593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTsvcs3opE

593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73xxXmEfDn
Louise 2: “That’s…good.”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABYBpwJQTz
Louise 2 finally succumbs to her wounds and passes out. Bench looks to Colbert and gives a stern order.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wSR8oAdJs
Bench: “Take me to where your clinic is, I have a Hunter to repair!”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy76KXWTka1
Jake: “Wait a minute!”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡys8vFr2pNT
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.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTMRVi4eDI
Bench: “What are you doing?!”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPcBWzP34n
Jake: “Just because I helped defeat that thing doesn’t mean we’re allies. I need answers!”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWMMJAkLYu
Raskeria: “Calm down Jake, do you really want to fight everyone here?”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZVOwHnr0b
Jake: “…I’ll do what I have to.”

Colbert: “W-What do you want to know?”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUa2WUJBCz7
Bench: “We don’t have time for this! Louise will die if Colbert doesn’t show me to the clinic.”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MxWq1mgWt
Jake: “I don’t care.”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvrg3fGvn2
Bench: “You-”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAydoQ7YM9
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.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPvzvUTwNc
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.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHBak1HHVh
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.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzerloCWAS
“Can you understand me?”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFev4KzvX6W
Raskeria: ‘A translation spell? Oh, he’s good.’
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHOckQiMVX
Colbert: “Y-Yes.”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7V8iewti1V
“Wonderful, my name is Zander and I’ll take them to the clinic.”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Lx2uqot8V
Colbert: “But how? You don’t know the way.”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYigxbYllf
Zander: “I’ll ask one of the students or the staff. I’m sure they’ll help.”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXxqPjrkaI
With a slight twist of his wrist, Louise begins to float off the ground.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYA7aogbVu
Zander: “Shall we go Bench?”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiFaLWskl4
Bench: “Yes, quickly now.”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAUDB8Qhio
They begin to leave but before that Zander gives a sharp glare to Jake.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxLJ6Q0pGR
Zander: “I hope I don’t have to come back here and deal with you Jake. I rather we be friends than enemies.”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgzSUaOaol
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.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6CdmRPTJk
No one said a word until Zander was gone.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Gffy9Bu39
Colbert: “Okay, so what do you want to know Jake.”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDjXAv64rv
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…”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQJObJyCo9
Jake brings his blade a bit closer to Colbert which makes everyone tense up, ready for another fight.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNGgxvxlyK
Jake: “You will take me back to New York.”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqqtlsBydZ
Colbert: “I’m sorry but…there’s no way back. None that we know of.”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJ1mpnWZU0
The moment those words left his mouth, he felt the urge to slice off his head.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2RqPsEzST
No way to get back to New York meant Blackwatch ran free and the only family he has left was in danger.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEuEcRoKbE
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.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJ1C6M4xC2
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.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MsaONmURn
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!”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxXaDzAnkJ
Colbert: “Sir, I’m truly sorry but there is no way to reverse this.”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExnRPeU2IY
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.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvt7HWi3sRF
Raskeria: “There might be a way.”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx21T9mRxET
Everyone turned toward the girl. Jake’s eyes widened with relief but also slow-cooking anger.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUgL7vxWsi
Jake: “Tell me.”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNx7MWBhBZ
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.”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Py1teYNeY
Jake: “Then-”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmaow232w7
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…”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdgOSiigzF
Jake: “Or?”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqs4VGR8bE
Raskeria: “Learn magic and go yourself.”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ604iLJmawv
Colbert: “Learn magic?”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpt7uZJ4E5D
Raskeria: “Yeah, it will be hard but it can be done.”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWH8xjqqiY
Jake: “…”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1vcSWIHfe
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.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZDazXmlEX
But still, time is of the essence. He can’t be gone for long.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKk2zMewEV
Jake: “How long would it take for me to learn.”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQpKKAkN7G
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.”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBA4Jq130Ul
Jake: ‘Years!? No, I don’t have that kind of time. I’ll leave that as a backup.’
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVqBEYw6d4
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.”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWY9apa79aw
Raskeria: “Sure, sure. Right now though, I’m tired. I’m going home and telling everyone what happened. See you. ‘gate’.”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWzF9N44qm
A rip in reality appears behind Raskeria. She yawns and goes through which causes it to close.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcoin6678j
Jake: ‘Tch, she better make good on our deal. Or I have another person on my list to kill here.’
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4T8GshFmE
Jake: *Sigh*
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPZT447WpJ
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.”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGpPe82RC4
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.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7A0dHJowl
Colbert: “Well, you’re the last one. What will you do?”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT75l8QS1Jg
Dovahkiin: “Stay for now. Jake’s situation seemed more serious than mine so he can get the gate treatment first. Besides…”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jWDKBkerE
Dovahkiin: ‘It’s not all Louise’s fault that I ended up here. Damn that dedric prince.’
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQu6Pulvja9
Colbert: “Yes?”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdoSZLzozZF
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.”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fLgRRhdUS
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.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerccK3woPW
Colbert: “Brimir save us, what has Louise unleashed…”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRBLftIpFu
[Louise’s Room]
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRM3xb5KXq
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.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LnoOomi6j
She gently takes her to the bed and lies her down.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm987WyxJ7V
Aeterna: “Already, that power is drawing dangerous things to you.”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWX5OtOXNi
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.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9GmfWxgBS
Aeterna: “Did she really expect me to sleep on that? I guess she was expecting an animal though.”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpXYRz46pO
She looks down at her body and remembers that she’s still wearing lingerie.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpA3OxtKXm3
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.”
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgiOjs8eC1
With that thought, Aeterna leaves the room.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRckUiDa4gn
…
…
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCemO8innO7
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.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj53o5TJsaA
‘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.’
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VIADEw6OX
‘Hehe, I’m getting excited. Sweet dreams Louise.’
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2dhdBMxCT
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.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3xPhvEAGa
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.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4P6my0zKF
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.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9r9SRRXgf8
Among the clouds and across the forest, more rips threaten to form.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdj8YWf8C6
‘Let the games begin.’

What do you think? Did you guess who was going to show up? Anyone OOC?
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fnGzIKa5L
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.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOcBYqUnT0
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.
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OaT4DMp85
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.
