Welcome, to my first fan fic. After years, I finally gave in and tried a few.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAzB5bcIE1g4
Mostly crossovers.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAxVW0IuNMKE
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.
317Please respect copyright.PENANANzebyzzXXo
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.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAjYLUJdOHKU
They will be listed at the end of this one-shot.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAklvDTuZSDD
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.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAfNBWVLMeVm
This is version 1 after all. If I can perfect the foundation and people like it, then I can continue.
317Please respect copyright.PENANA3tNv5m0SXd
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.
317Please respect copyright.PENANA8MSgfo0L3M
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.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAuKIFR9DT1F
With that out of the way, let’s dive into this slice of eternity in a moment.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAIYjoTODYFd
317Please respect copyright.PENANAhUOqeEDtx9
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.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAxBmw29ARRJ
Aside from that though, they were also anxious. Anxious about what kind of familiar they would get.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAuWF1CRZKc0
A summoned familiar mirrors their master’s personality and elemental affinity. Who knows what hidden secrets their familiars may accidentally reveal to everyone?
317Please respect copyright.PENANASElaoCbAUP
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.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAMQJ1zRR9td
Yes, all of them have tried and succeeded in summoning a familiar.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAWhWgzSSbUV
Well, all but one.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAfcfjHMYfa5
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.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAhNNoImKkpV
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.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAAWEgMbKMj1
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.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAJYgaAm3DV7
Colbert: “All right then, has everyone had their turn?”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAk4g1mnQsHw
But the one to fully shatter her hopes was her bully and rival, Kirche von Zerbst. The busty chocolate beauty.
317Please respect copyright.PENANA0ngoyztvFk
Kirche: “No, not quite. Ms. Valliere hasn’t done it.”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAerbPpOS9Jd
Louise: ‘Brimir, darn you Kirche.’
317Please respect copyright.PENANAyoLA4mNCPn
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.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAME2MboYQ9w
Maybe then, she’ll be respected and can finally deliver some good news to her family.
317Please respect copyright.PENANArHQW22DURn
She goes to the summoning area and prepares to-
317Please respect copyright.PENANA9sJVNc3kaf
“Louise the zero.”
317Please respect copyright.PENANA1jELV8a6zQ
“What do you suppose she’ll summon”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAZoMZxfe152
“There’s no way she can summon anything. We’ll just have another explosion and nothing else.”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAX7HUgBtTBy
Kirche: “With all your boasting, you should be able to summon up something more amazing than this. Right, Louise?”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAy3oUws09fv
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.
317Please respect copyright.PENANA8xHeyBH1uI
Louise: “Well of course!”
317Please respect copyright.PENANATN04eisiHO
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.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAaFlQmE5z87
She didn’t know it then but, someone was listening to her prayers.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAYfPolItBWr
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!”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAyRLPgxqU5M
“And so the die is cast.”
317Please respect copyright.PENANACIajEBlwVO
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.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAsA0kGLoau8
…
…
317Please respect copyright.PENANARV2rb92Rw9
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.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAFE3ZjjDDO7
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.
317Please respect copyright.PENANA4yfjfQj56O
The students quickly collected themselves and began their favorite pass time.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAINcVzCiUMY
“Hah, I knew it! Once a Zero always a Zero.”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAriAayxhdM5
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.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAqDOVE2SzkD
The one most scared was Slyphid, the medium-sized blue dragon summoned by the petite blue-haired Tabitha.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAvRnulis1vV
Tabitha: “What?”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAESwaPax6MQ
Her question brought Slyphid’s head around to look her in the eyes. With their intimate bond, Slyphid was able to respond telepathically.
317Please respect copyright.PENANA38z286JeYT
Slyphid: ‘I smell her! I’m Frightened! But…there’s…more than just her…a…Predator.’
317Please respect copyright.PENANAF43wbOxcd2
The panicked voice in her head startled Tabitha. For a rhyme dragon of all things to be frightened…
317Please respect copyright.PENANARJnQX70Nul
Tabitha: “What do you…mean?”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAGxMknu6odS
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.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAqOMy2ddJpa
Louise: ‘Wait!? Shadows?’
317Please respect copyright.PENANA5NQDJQBG2e
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.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAJemwiqLWla
When the smoke cleared, something completely unexpected awaited everyone. Not only did Louise summon a human but she summoned multiple familiars.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAtgYJh1SeJC
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.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAJXDnWczQ5N
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.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAkroKWBtOtl
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.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAXFWUWRLPQQ
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.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAGUhtb7BaZA
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.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAMq3ISLVl33
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.
317Please respect copyright.PENANATeKT7clMQO
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.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAGZgh7VNBQl
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.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAMI2lnLFVX3
As for Louise, she just couldn’t look away. Especially after what happened next.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAjqPGuz4Su4
“Kolo Zu’u, druv los tinvaak dovahzul?”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAXBrhSZaZmA
…
…317Please respect copyright.PENANAI3R0XivdrX
317Please respect copyright.PENANArMpsSvpZeT
Kirche: “Did that dragon just…speak?”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAtZamrM1NvP
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.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAFOYxZ9rBU9
After a few moments of conversation and looking around, they stopped and looked at Louise.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAvXWfqzRVPR
“Okay, who summoned us?”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAe3lP9m7pob
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.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAtZL5SCixZb
Louise: “I-I did. My name is Louise Francoise Le Blanc de La Valliere.”317Please respect copyright.PENANA7TjGRoExTu
317Please respect copyright.PENANAB3aPtecEYj
“Well hi Louise, my name is Raskreia or Rask for short. This dragon is named Dovahkiin, strange name I know.”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAA0buW8yLDZ
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.
317Please respect copyright.PENANARVuVQsmsNj
317Please respect copyright.PENANAKEm7Y1FGtH
Raskreia: “Now, I have questions but first I think we should help the kid.”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAqyS6zmZlb5
317Please respect copyright.PENANAfNEoQWJbi1
Colbert finally escaped his shock and agreed. He asks some students to carry the boy to the infirmary.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAx0pWynCU0A
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.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAPJ3NOHQ9XY
Colbert: ‘Who knows what could’ve happened if we delayed any further.’
317Please respect copyright.PENANAPv1Eh8dc7a
“Ugh, what, is with the racket.”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAuFfRh8uv8I
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.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAq7GJvhfbnZ
“I slept in an inn in my underwear, and I wake up in a summoning circle in them. Ugh, what even?”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAvSzq16G6nY
Raskreia: “Well, looks who’s awake.”
317Please respect copyright.PENANACYaCfjwveg
She sighs.317Please respect copyright.PENANAYB10e74cjL
317Please respect copyright.PENANAOr2qo49yEv
“And I am surrounded by children and a strange dragon.”
317Please respect copyright.PENANARZSISLDFpU
Colbert: “Since everyone is awake, not including the injured, we should proceed with the bonding ritual.”317Please respect copyright.PENANAPo4wjScyea
317Please respect copyright.PENANAgdUcyM4f7Q
Raskreia: “Sure, if you’re going to explain to us what in the nine hells is going on here exactly and where we are?”317Please respect copyright.PENANAVIHEcdsvRb
317Please respect copyright.PENANADYMmGSv6nC
At this, Louise answers before the man could.317Please respect copyright.PENANAF4y7YIHOIL
317Please respect copyright.PENANAyVfrbtSrHB
Louise: “You’re here because I summoned you all to be my familiar with the summon servant spell, and I am your master now.”
317Please respect copyright.PENANANMEYP9107W
Rask rolls her eyes while the other 2 had more animated responses.317Please respect copyright.PENANAMLLuMsEer1
317Please respect copyright.PENANA9pjkYfUDA2
“Whoa, back the fuck up. Why should I be your familiar?”317Please respect copyright.PENANAylrHxL9KBG
317Please respect copyright.PENANApsCNmOTIlf
Dovahkiin: “What do you mean by bonding?”317Please respect copyright.PENANA415anDgG9t
317Please respect copyright.PENANAuUgxilmUa1
Everyone except Rask blinked. That was in Tristainian.317Please respect copyright.PENANAUuG9MCLm88
317Please respect copyright.PENANA0bmAgEJH5p
Dovahkiin: “Oh, so now my voice returns.”
317Please respect copyright.PENANASUuOQcPrXp
Colbert: “You can speak our language?”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAt9Ky7jXX5O
Dovahkiin: “I can speak this language, but before I was…confused and spoke in native Dovahzul.”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAp4LRJObXdp
Raskreia: “Really? I guess I don’t need this anymore then.”
317Please respect copyright.PENANA1UDC1gxOHR
Rask puts the ring back in her bag.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAI5mPHHKvAE
Colbert: “Dovahzul, I haven’t heard of that language.”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAYDHAtVvqp7
“Neither have I, strange.”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAGO4vOdWMLk
Dovahkiin: “Enough of this, what do you mean by bonding?”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAH9xJWRcLWu
Despite the group before her, Louise bravely stepped forward again.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAgBIlcme4ek
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.”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAUJ5uoDhLCf
The reactions from all summoned present varied but none good.317Please respect copyright.PENANA6t7Loy6oVc
317Please respect copyright.PENANAKI2mbSUd2V
Raskreia: “I’m fine with getting summoned but getting branded like some animal, no thanks.”317Please respect copyright.PENANA1UqCqbieyj
317Please respect copyright.PENANApy4moBinJm
Louise’s mood quickly deteriorates but there’s still hope she thought. She summoned more than one, surely one would agree.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAeMs1PXyho8
But that thought quickly faded away when the dragon growled. It drew itself up by stretching its wings down and glared at Louise.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAxFyqX0Rqy1
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?”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAgWILKlGRDV
Raskreia: ‘Oh no, they made the dragon mad. That’s never a good idea. No matter the plane.’
317Please respect copyright.PENANAO40mTMAGZH
Colbert stepped in as Louise faltered and took several steps back.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAiiW1kXsKbg
Colbert: “It’s how the holy ritual has been performed for hundreds of years.”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAnEce0ebwnd
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.”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAC9ny6nLrgG
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.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAusYcPGvMC0
Dovahkiin: “I for one refuse to become anyone’s slave. I simply want to return to the life I lived before this all occurred.”
317Please respect copyright.PENANA8rY5kpdwo5
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.”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAG02G7bCWQ6
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.’317Please respect copyright.PENANAAHsyj20iQB
317Please respect copyright.PENANAeWgyiC9l87
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.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAblmCqy9MM9
She grips her wand tightly, wishing this was all a dream. Unbeknownst to her, there was one that considered her offer.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAqmTtSW5Vlv
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.
317Please respect copyright.PENANATVb9dNMbp7
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.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAocJFztWXRN
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.317Please respect copyright.PENANAhquhWHTD8a
317Please respect copyright.PENANAfUMWlrGt3V
She knew intimately what happens in situations like that. Despite her previous obligations, the redhead made her choice.317Please respect copyright.PENANAMaXcRGtCX9
317Please respect copyright.PENANAk5GOKPhZkl
“If a familiar is what you seek, then you shall have one. I agree to be yours.”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAu1TLthBMO1
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.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAffYacToeZY
Dovahkiin: “You!? You would subject yourself as a slave to a child? Where is your pride as a Dovah?”
317Please respect copyright.PENANA8tipvXpVmX
“Dovah? I see, that's your word for it. So you can tell?”
317Please respect copyright.PENANA3X4u0FRHjE
Dovahkiin: *Nod*
317Please respect copyright.PENANAqiXvQfM0cU
“I have my own reasons.”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAPRTTG03NLG
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.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAcyPk1iuZWu
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?
317Please respect copyright.PENANAOH1rlIVyJn
Raskreia: “Well I won’t judge you. It’s your choice.”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAqx30b2EXJe
Louise reapplies her rule of steel mask and starts towards the redhead. She let out an indignant, resigned huff as she raised her wand.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAoDwjunYhLX
Louise: “Consider yourself fortunate, commoner. Normally, you’d never in your life have a noble do this to you.”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAdRaXifmOX9
Louise: “My name is Louise Francoise Le Blanc de La Valliere. Oh, pentagon that rules the five elements, bless this individual and-”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAbKQL3JtFft
317Please respect copyright.PENANAG4H9jKxkSV
‘Did you think this was it?’
317Please respect copyright.PENANATrL8D9mykl
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.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAfmrf2VrVM7
“Louise!?”
317Please respect copyright.PENANA3P2WlZ6ZqN
Everyone, including the dragon, looks at Louise with concern. Before anyone could go to her and see what’s wrong, something else extraordinary happens.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAluMf1oxQSE
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.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAVzOFSkVfl6
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.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAPSmekhY8JW
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.
317Please respect copyright.PENANACfPprFwJUi
Raskeria: “The hell was that?”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAC9vPQ114F5
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.
317Please respect copyright.PENANA35AnewM12J
Colbert: “A golem?”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAFfshFtIfho
Dovahkiin: “No, something more.”
317Please respect copyright.PENANA7csk4roUPD
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.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAxNdlEzhHFc
Guiche: “Unhand me this instant!”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAWS4y5WQCDt
It didn’t respond instead it brought its other arm up and balled it into a fist.
317Please respect copyright.PENANASMBa4Wrb12
Guiche: “You would dare hit a noble!? I tell you, my father is a gener-”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAEsMHtSSO0V
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.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAfdmqXW245b
Colbert: “Mister Grammont!”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAi2svwtd1cc
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.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAVTH6fDhbW9
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.
317Please respect copyright.PENANA6QmnYQSLHE
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.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAsAtZENz04f
Guiche: “L-Louise?”317Please respect copyright.PENANAd4kNteiWqm
317Please respect copyright.PENANAa4Ov0P0b7o
Colbert: “But how?”
317Please respect copyright.PENANA1tKnDP2a52
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.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAerM8pFbkAE
Raskeria: “Can this day get any crazier?”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAupKmM2bo19
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.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAb2dXJDZmHs
Guiche: “How dare-”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAPQSXyvzn4x
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.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAk16pjwOHi5
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.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAQ3bUlrTOaA
Regardless, Dova took the golem and threw it across the field away from the students.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAaTYd67nitg
While this was happening, the redhead took Louise to a safe distance. She could help but she wanted to keep Louise safe for now.
317Please respect copyright.PENANA7yf2iyA8WQ
Raskeria: “That has to be among the strongest golems I’ve ever seen.”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAAUnyVQF4Km
Dovahkiin: “It’s like a Dwemer automation but more…advanced somehow.”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAX1rskuSWpQ
Louise?: “I don’t remember you two when I left. Who are you two?”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAHCDc7bcw1B
Raskeria: “Talk later, fight now!”

Dovahkiin: “YOL TOOR SHUL!”
317Please respect copyright.PENANA2AlUxcQjV6
The dragon breathes intense heat at the golem while Raskeria casts a strange spell that also shoots bolts of fire.
317Please respect copyright.PENANABMooR9k5YV
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.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAfcRUB3dp7B
Raskeria: “Okay, that thing is too dangerous. Disintegrate.”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAC0A8vYMl4Y
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.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAARQHXYYYK3
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.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAsTUn2XsyM9
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.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAr67WGo6TxQ
This proved to be the right choice when the sound of lightning cracked from the cloud of dust.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAVDYWnZS001
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.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAcCyOLNN8Sw
Raskeria: “Another one!? To think, I was just hanging out with friends and now I have to fight for my life.”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAonMkwxz6py
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.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAu0G7RvCUF3
Eventually, the sound of clicking reached her ears. She disassembled her shield and placed her hands behind her with her palms open.
317Please respect copyright.PENANA7IgvgFFUqa
Louise 2: ‘Here’s my chanc-”
317Please respect copyright.PENANA1zNwTvJxuz
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.
317Please respect copyright.PENANA8RoXP2DS7T
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.
317Please respect copyright.PENANA2sAJwXRqYd
Raskeria: “Did Louise summon another one? I can’t deny it, that’s impressive.”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAuqvMh5EH7e
Louise 2: “Friend or foe?”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAYMyYcRAZa8
Jake: “Depends on what happens next. The name’s Jake Logan Anderson, Jake will do.”
317Please respect copyright.PENANA6WG8Nd0kj9
Dovahkiin: “FUS RO DAH”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAwKQop22ZyN
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.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAQdUNsXWkTK
Dovahkiin: ‘I need to get used to this body and fast. I hope that was the last of them.’
317Please respect copyright.PENANAssPUFraZZR
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.
317Please respect copyright.PENANASnY84bTkbg
Louise 2: “Mr. Colbert!”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAVPLCg1rWsp
This seemed to jog the man from his shock.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAylv52e5Sia
Colbert: “Um yes, what do you need Ms….you are Valliere right?”
317Please respect copyright.PENANA5HEJ4DZH3s
Louise 2: “Yes. Evacuate everyone from this place right now.”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAOBeDcIEBSY
Raskeria: “Why? Isn’t it over?”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAFg09vLWdxf
Jake: “No, it’s never that easy.”
317Please respect copyright.PENANA4AqboOVFtZ
Louise 2: “He’s right, this courtyard isn’t safe anymore.”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAKsAYr7jopn
The doppelganger looked at the strangers she fought with.
317Please respect copyright.PENANA51N5N3qWDb
Louise 2: “Can trust one of you to help Colbert protect everyone.”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAvUq8VVBczN
Before any of them could answer, the red-head answered.
317Please respect copyright.PENANArEelMr9d2v
“I’ll protect him along with…you I guess.”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAAxjC9nCGnJ
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.
317Please respect copyright.PENANA8NZJxMwpRj
Louise 2: “And who are you?”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAoIwyMREyLT
“My name is Aeterna Flamma, your familiar.”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAbhMPCL1UqP
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.
317Please respect copyright.PENANARW4It5dmhv
Dovahkiin: “Trust her, she is stronger than she looks.”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAGoe7Du0aMC
Louise: 2: “…Fine. I won’t argue with a dragon. Especially not now.”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAuIxk9GKa82
Aeterna: “Good, come on everyone.”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAWpXcSuJ3bd
Colbert: “Y-You heard them, we can’t stay here any-”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAgQ7aI35EqC
Suddenly, the sound of something rattling made itself known throughout the courtyard. Louise 2 clicked her tongue.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAvruoEhk1d6
Louise 2: “Go, NOW!”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAOT8KSzc17y
They followed her order, many out of fear of the sight before them. The 3 golems slowly but surely collapsed into strange black sand.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAI5dPGEVPg8
Jake: “What the fuck?! Are these truly machines?”
317Please respect copyright.PENANALoocs95ewJ
Raskeria: “I’m starting to question that too.”
317Please respect copyright.PENANA5zpmwIiKwS
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.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAY1GgIzxTcL
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.
317Please respect copyright.PENANA0iBIA9wBEm
The arms were next. The left was a massive blade and the right was a massive claw hand.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAXf5a7MsKSo
Finally, the head was bulky enough to discourage any beheading. But the most important part was the lines connecting to the chest area.
317Please respect copyright.PENANADSk0cC2J71
Louise 2: ‘That’s its weak point.’
317Please respect copyright.PENANALkvjcsaGSz
Its eyes finally light up and lock onto the fighters.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAsYi9Z4l78c
Louise 2: “Just my luck, a Ravager.”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAVXGpdKWZdn
Raskeria: “A what?”
317Please respect copyright.PENANA4d08QhlzPK
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.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAT9VkQeeSiQ
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.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAtxwhrpGAjh
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.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAxoWiLWEMuD
Louise 2: “Go!”
317Please respect copyright.PENANA4jrUP7UdJZ
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.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAbh40bP0YF4
Raskeria aided the group with various spells, mostly fire and stuff like ‘Create Pit’.
317Please respect copyright.PENANApc9bvHtioZ
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.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAGSV8JRws5W
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.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAXwQa8vXcI7
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.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAXwAc4RPl2E
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.
317Please respect copyright.PENANApA8ZqATeeQ
Raskeria: “Yeah, stay right there. Disintegrate.”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAdMvlyO8N6A
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.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAXRiVFDicz0
Louise 2: “That won’t be enough! We need to destroy its core.”
317Please respect copyright.PENANATADpYy0Urc
Jake: “Where is it then!?”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAGmNegQdESl
Louise 2: “It was in its chest but who knows where it will be when it reforms.”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAzuL0kRamiv
They look back at Rask and she couldn’t help but rub the back of her head.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAoGQ9wSesqO
Raskeria: “My bad.”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAu2j1QpZOyp
Jake: “Tch, it’s like fighting a machine version of me.”
317Please respect copyright.PENANALPMYOFVSJo
Dovahkiin: “FO KRAH DIIN”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAbbYwOyIKZB
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.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAP9szGaLDxg
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.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAbyGRAfhjk4
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.”
317Please respect copyright.PENANADgFx1M28YZ
Raskeria: “What do you mean?”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAADjO89xTWr
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.”
317Please respect copyright.PENANA8GAoUfwVM0
Jake: “…Fine.”
317Please respect copyright.PENANA8NMz8FLlN0
The other 2 nodded and got into position.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAOw4nCYcPTP
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.
317Please respect copyright.PENANABqe53ApoAH
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.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAAf01GQIt7h
Louise 2: “You got to be kidding me.”317Please respect copyright.PENANASjBmxb0yiw
317Please respect copyright.PENANAgjkZsSosfB
The Ravager started firing at everything below. Raskeria created another shield around everyone to block the heavy bullet fire.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAoB1SsUdGKs
Raskeria: “Dovahkiin, this is all you. I’ll focus on protecting everyone while you distract it enough to prevent it from firing.”
317Please respect copyright.PENANApi7kqJxnap
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.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAafQeGcl540
Despite Dovah’s best efforts though, Ravager wasn’t that bothered by it’s attacks. That was until Dovah started using more unique shouts.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAr6rMKOSFWq
Dovahkiin: “VEN GAAR NOS!”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAEsr5d2fcMc
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.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAmPXPEGp7f5
Louise 2: “Great, bring it down quick! I can see where the core is! Focus your attacks on its head!”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAPnCILzm7Xf
Raskeria: “I still need to keep the shield on Dovahkiin so I can’t attack.”
317Please respect copyright.PENANArODZydHdcQ
Louise 2: “That’s a good thing, just focus on support.”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAZjaa6KStQb
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.
317Please respect copyright.PENANANILBF5dXdx
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.
317Please respect copyright.PENANA9HZ0Y8NYsG
Raskeria: “Was that…magic?”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAnqqB5Wu0ni
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.”
317Please respect copyright.PENANADlv3HLynYc
Dova shrugged it off but still lost some ground. Jake on the other hand was on fire and falling.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAQlKcxbCcbt
Jake: ‘Of course, it had to use fire and lightning of all things.’
317Please respect copyright.PENANAAwIIxe9C27
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.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAL1Nj89QOVV
It abandoned the dragon and went to delete the living weapon. But before it could, another welcomed surprise appeared. The final and winning variable.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAfaI7SAjdRp
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.
317Please respect copyright.PENANABDY2QBH2Td
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.
317Please respect copyright.PENANA7lzwpMibvS
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.
317Please respect copyright.PENANA89QXIkmb8F
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.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAAtUtIfxvuF
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.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAQegEtZgptc
Louise 2: “I don’t know who you are but if you can understand me, keep it down while I end this.”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAcAjP59vODA
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.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAR9cLPDen81
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.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAAsVadJh3ck
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.’
317Please respect copyright.PENANAO81Rh3DkR1
The distance between them became smaller.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAZwjtqLUMpm
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.
317Please respect copyright.PENANASTTldozIcC
20 meters
317Please respect copyright.PENANAW31r9pyn2v
Arcs of pink electricity started to form around her.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAhyjQPdA8Ds
15 meters
317Please respect copyright.PENANAB3Prd9PtSn
She opened her eyes; her vision was surrounded by plenty of warnings but she dismissed them.
317Please respect copyright.PENANA8stNOWLzwI
10 meters
317Please respect copyright.PENANA6E6IyKWDvh
Louise 2: “Adapt to this!”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAqjF1KLK8ck
5 meters
317Please respect copyright.PENANAKldCBHrypU
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.
317Please respect copyright.PENANABjYW97HZoH
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.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAXEnTOVcQ48
The sonic boom made it into everyone’s ears. Students screamed and even the fighters had to cover their ears as the ground quaked.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAWMZkxCLPLU
The fighters aside from Jake ran up to the aftermath of the attack. Colbert also came running despite Aeterna’s warning.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAziGpyXruqI
Good news, the Ravager now sported a missing head. Bad news, behind the Ravager was a badly damaged Louise 2.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAO9p9hfe1vi
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.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAK6aXs1TLdG
Raskeria: “Okay, that looks terrible. But I can fix this.”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAF09r7xFv33
She started to create ice to cool her down before applying healing magic. But before she could a voice stopped her.
317Please respect copyright.PENANADuH7i386f9
“STOP, YOU’RE GOING TO KILL HER!”
317Please respect copyright.PENANABrCd6qToFB
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.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAeuJ4hwXdc1
Colbert: “Stop, any closer and we’ll consider you an enemy!”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAqVHbhqid8f
Raskeria: “I vote enemy, where was he when everything was going wrong?”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAAMuUiP9Y3a
Louise 2: “B-Bench? I-Is that…y-you?”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAcyIg4LTu0G
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.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAnU6sx0g7XJ
Colbert: “Miss Valliere!”
317Please respect copyright.PENANA4HHL5Ngaos
Louise 2: “Please…let Bench…come to me…professor.”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAcKg2Hd2GtG
Raskeria: “But what about my magic? I can heal you good as new.”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAkfJdrSKxU6
Louise 2: “Don’t…I…d-don’t know…what effect it…will h-have.”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAWd4TiWzahi
Bench: “Listen to her, I know what to do. Trust me, she’s in good hands.”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAmJTQocsxOm
Raskeria: “…Fine. This whole thing is beyond me anyway.”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAOffRezzwsp
Heeding his words, Raskeria and Colbert moved out of the way. Bench approached Louise 2 and a blue line scanned her entire being.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAcGDE1gTIZ3
Bench: “You’ve really done it this time Louise.”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAJY1nqDVqoY
Louise 2: “Why does…it…matter…I destroyed…the Ravager.”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAAERqsqsQ2K
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.”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAG0Ni6jJNh2
Raskeria: ‘You mean what I was going to do?’
317Please respect copyright.PENANANYjGUqh7z2
Louise 2: “Then would…this help?”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAqFLEXGgDqZ
She asks while letting go of a red orb that was giving a low hum.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAgzEeD3Svnf
Bench: “Is that what I think it is?”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAoTnvYgrN93
Louise 2: “Y-You bet…it is.”
317Please respect copyright.PENANARdc85D0TGJ
A blue line passed over the orb from Bench.
317Please respect copyright.PENANA8FHaWlMPhW
Bench: “I can’t believe it, a Ravager core.”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAUEpkzawqzh
Raskeria: “You mean that’s what we were fighting to destroy? Why is it intact?”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAsHZVA8cdzC
Bench: “Because this might be the only sure way to save Louise.”
317Please respect copyright.PENANA49zAm3AtNU
Raskeria: “Magic is out but the core of that monster is okay?”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAkFHRtBHh81
Dovahkiin: “I agree, destroy it.”
317Please respect copyright.PENANA37UcuyYXbk
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?”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAVkkuzdI5pI
Raskeria: “No but I’m keeping my eye on you…and that.”
317Please respect copyright.PENANANPkhuPjzWU
Bench: “By all means.”
317Please respect copyright.PENANADvPKnslwHe
Louise 2: “So…can you…d-do it Bench?”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAnUUWLiE917
Bench: “Do you know who you’re talking to?
317Please respect copyright.PENANAC7mvzOlH9y
Louise 2: “That’s…good.”
317Please respect copyright.PENANA5SeKnxLune
Louise 2 finally succumbs to her wounds and passes out. Bench looks to Colbert and gives a stern order.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAXRVvStGdv7
Bench: “Take me to where your clinic is, I have a Hunter to repair!”
317Please respect copyright.PENANANrlYViYxac
Jake: “Wait a minute!”
317Please respect copyright.PENANApVHc4PARrC
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.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAwi1prsYla9
Bench: “What are you doing?!”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAqEznLogLay
Jake: “Just because I helped defeat that thing doesn’t mean we’re allies. I need answers!”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAlvC787sGey
Raskeria: “Calm down Jake, do you really want to fight everyone here?”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAANIqWWdOT8
Jake: “…I’ll do what I have to.”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAi9ZHUUkkgi
Colbert: “W-What do you want to know?”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAM9tegm7vuv
Bench: “We don’t have time for this! Louise will die if Colbert doesn’t show me to the clinic.”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAa8ITUr7KzQ
Jake: “I don’t care.”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAgcjg2vlodO
Bench: “You-”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAfTd8DJqafh
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.
317Please respect copyright.PENANA17IvnOl596
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.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAoITtsv3SJG
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.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAz7lkuzsKzJ
“Can you understand me?”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAWCMbFVl85P
Raskeria: ‘A translation spell? Oh, he’s good.’
317Please respect copyright.PENANAztxEgXrFa0
Colbert: “Y-Yes.”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAwg7ot1FbQd
“Wonderful, my name is Zander and I’ll take them to the clinic.”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAQTrluayci4
Colbert: “But how? You don’t know the way.”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAQhNaVIKfTu
Zander: “I’ll ask one of the students or the staff. I’m sure they’ll help.”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAQE79Yrp1ka
With a slight twist of his wrist, Louise begins to float off the ground.
317Please respect copyright.PENANACfH2Z11XXY
Zander: “Shall we go Bench?”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAeZOsUY2k1P
Bench: “Yes, quickly now.”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAQyeoEl7RFH
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.”
317Please respect copyright.PENANADlWjnzC7rz
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.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAHrk1LF7bTx
No one said a word until Zander was gone.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAuR93rwovZs
Colbert: “Okay, so what do you want to know Jake.”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAeiCgCPUvFR
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…”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAyQyeQ9AhhM
Jake brings his blade a bit closer to Colbert which makes everyone tense up, ready for another fight.
317Please respect copyright.PENANA5llFPCfQdH
Jake: “You will take me back to New York.”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAchqqW0G6AH
Colbert: “I’m sorry but…there’s no way back. None that we know of.”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAehGlb4QA52
The moment those words left his mouth, he felt the urge to slice off his head.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAoBX2nYhPT3
No way to get back to New York meant Blackwatch ran free and the only family he has left was in danger.
317Please respect copyright.PENANA83AV4AM4Ih
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.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAOfc2mv76pj
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.
317Please respect copyright.PENANASlW1JKd0Qg
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!”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAYrYacLwdDR
Colbert: “Sir, I’m truly sorry but there is no way to reverse this.”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAwVA9AOSVMj
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.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAcbt796grX3
Raskeria: “There might be a way.”
317Please respect copyright.PENANA4zTs2AIUEH
Everyone turned toward the girl. Jake’s eyes widened with relief but also slow-cooking anger.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAxGce7eUNcm
Jake: “Tell me.”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAhKmSL0kTKZ
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.”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAZxwvZPAXrS
Jake: “Then-”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAGlnqaVe0eZ
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…”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAvOjkFn0Avz
Jake: “Or?”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAD3MgZGq4IQ
Raskeria: “Learn magic and go yourself.”
317Please respect copyright.PENANA99VWgPkqDS
Colbert: “Learn magic?”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAQkx6QnlW7M
Raskeria: “Yeah, it will be hard but it can be done.”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAH4XToA3oAx
Jake: “…”
317Please respect copyright.PENANATKG0Sxlvxh
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.
317Please respect copyright.PENANANE8JZ12cwO
But still, time is of the essence. He can’t be gone for long.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAKgH8p7u5Ft
Jake: “How long would it take for me to learn.”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAuj8hSaqCGc
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.”
317Please respect copyright.PENANA62HMgnx79o
Jake: ‘Years!? No, I don’t have that kind of time. I’ll leave that as a backup.’
317Please respect copyright.PENANAwxlMUtqyH0
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.”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAXuGWXY8Fq1
Raskeria: “Sure, sure. Right now though, I’m tired. I’m going home and telling everyone what happened. See you. ‘gate’.”
317Please respect copyright.PENANA6niv25uDSv
A rip in reality appears behind Raskeria. She yawns and goes through which causes it to close.
317Please respect copyright.PENANA44LGChmMZl
Jake: ‘Tch, she better make good on our deal. Or I have another person on my list to kill here.’
317Please respect copyright.PENANAcTMCy7EOKa
Jake: *Sigh*
317Please respect copyright.PENANAgHFSi1Ok9X
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.”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAVkfL2yVjky
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.
317Please respect copyright.PENANA7e48xVtal4
Colbert: “Well, you’re the last one. What will you do?”
317Please respect copyright.PENANA4gwBByabHv
Dovahkiin: “Stay for now. Jake’s situation seemed more serious than mine so he can get the gate treatment first. Besides…”
317Please respect copyright.PENANABwO3kmzVMf
Dovahkiin: ‘It’s not all Louise’s fault that I ended up here. Damn that dedric prince.’
317Please respect copyright.PENANAolL8H9sgUA
Colbert: “Yes?”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAKfbWQ2vj0U
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.”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAwGEEMg51PH
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.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAJ0LKPVoNrq
Colbert: “Brimir save us, what has Louise unleashed…”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAy6SjyLsolW
[Louise’s Room]
317Please respect copyright.PENANArqD3s64TFP
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.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAkbnkp5xeNb
She gently takes her to the bed and lies her down.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAbb19P1GQbY
Aeterna: “Already, that power is drawing dangerous things to you.”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAlo9I1LlhRC
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.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAoKn1WD3pr1
Aeterna: “Did she really expect me to sleep on that? I guess she was expecting an animal though.”
317Please respect copyright.PENANADdoVui9mtD
She looks down at her body and remembers that she’s still wearing lingerie.
317Please respect copyright.PENANA7jLcgUCXoR
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.”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAC4yIgddTjj
With that thought, Aeterna leaves the room.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAd6jcUaVrxc
…
…
317Please respect copyright.PENANANpyn5iO8fy
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.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAbMLO2IW9yA
‘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.’
317Please respect copyright.PENANAKUlx4WGAfK
‘Hehe, I’m getting excited. Sweet dreams Louise.’
317Please respect copyright.PENANAmYTuwtZteh
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.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAoJYeGRt7GY
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.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAit5AZ3gdGU
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.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAOF53tTU8Yz
Among the clouds and across the forest, more rips threaten to form.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAzcQ1XELwj8
‘Let the games begin.’

317Please respect copyright.PENANArp6IdtRFpu
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.
317Please respect copyright.PENANABpxxMhDbtq
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.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAnzmN4else0
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.
