Welcome, to my first fan fic. After years, I finally gave in and tried a few.
526Please respect copyright.PENANAstTnBvvH5f
Mostly crossovers.
526Please respect copyright.PENANANAlh3HzLMo
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.
526Please respect copyright.PENANAWUOetdwAwA
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.
526Please respect copyright.PENANAZfCrrXamOa
They will be listed at the end of this one-shot.
526Please respect copyright.PENANAXXxvLn9gC1
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.
526Please respect copyright.PENANAQ0b7KSwygk
This is version 1 after all. If I can perfect the foundation and people like it, then I can continue.
526Please respect copyright.PENANAFXEO5OMNet
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.
526Please respect copyright.PENANANbBgZHn8xU
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.
526Please respect copyright.PENANAVrAwJ5QKGp
With that out of the way, let’s dive into this slice of eternity in a moment.
526Please respect copyright.PENANAn9Z79CIZZ2
526Please respect copyright.PENANAqCnoQ2RLWL
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.
526Please respect copyright.PENANAeBX3ZyEFCv
Aside from that though, they were also anxious. Anxious about what kind of familiar they would get.
526Please respect copyright.PENANATwJSq4T18K
A summoned familiar mirrors their master’s personality and elemental affinity. Who knows what hidden secrets their familiars may accidentally reveal to everyone?
526Please respect copyright.PENANAJshoXexPPA
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.
526Please respect copyright.PENANAxC0bInQPO2
Yes, all of them have tried and succeeded in summoning a familiar.
526Please respect copyright.PENANAUW8Y3ktXAk
Well, all but one.
526Please respect copyright.PENANATN99gm1X48
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.
526Please respect copyright.PENANAHJhTEZ71Lm
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.
526Please respect copyright.PENANA7wZHFHC50H
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.
526Please respect copyright.PENANAPW9YlT4eRT
Colbert: “All right then, has everyone had their turn?”
526Please respect copyright.PENANAlDlyLe3CV9
But the one to fully shatter her hopes was her bully and rival, Kirche von Zerbst. The busty chocolate beauty.
526Please respect copyright.PENANAvDEpkDo1s4
Kirche: “No, not quite. Ms. Valliere hasn’t done it.”
526Please respect copyright.PENANAUGOQ5N5KYD
Louise: ‘Brimir, darn you Kirche.’
526Please respect copyright.PENANA7zrGNdq1QF
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.
526Please respect copyright.PENANAPeNNj63Q7j
Maybe then, she’ll be respected and can finally deliver some good news to her family.
526Please respect copyright.PENANApEH8rppaKW
She goes to the summoning area and prepares to-
526Please respect copyright.PENANAXJau0d8rY8
“Louise the zero.”
526Please respect copyright.PENANAOgYfpjEKG0
“What do you suppose she’ll summon”
526Please respect copyright.PENANAUMqHr2rvD8
“There’s no way she can summon anything. We’ll just have another explosion and nothing else.”
526Please respect copyright.PENANASwYTYqFlLH
Kirche: “With all your boasting, you should be able to summon up something more amazing than this. Right, Louise?”
526Please respect copyright.PENANAY6ssnMSCn4
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.
526Please respect copyright.PENANALgSBBNXGdm
Louise: “Well of course!”
526Please respect copyright.PENANAgGBOqpX4Yv
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.
526Please respect copyright.PENANAaFv53DvWEh
She didn’t know it then but, someone was listening to her prayers.
526Please respect copyright.PENANAJoRKmwbyLr
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!”
526Please respect copyright.PENANAF11iCprHf6
“And so the die is cast.”
526Please respect copyright.PENANAkoQEhdZ3IV
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.
526Please respect copyright.PENANAKf1m8XoFiT
…
…
526Please respect copyright.PENANA5Szn9aOUB5
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.
526Please respect copyright.PENANAtoBSoVt19B
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.
526Please respect copyright.PENANAj1avJAFxVl
The students quickly collected themselves and began their favorite pass time.
526Please respect copyright.PENANAYYhoVE2psO
“Hah, I knew it! Once a Zero always a Zero.”
526Please respect copyright.PENANA91RWtvjyjw
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.
526Please respect copyright.PENANA3kLV2sFrLD
The one most scared was Slyphid, the medium-sized blue dragon summoned by the petite blue-haired Tabitha.
526Please respect copyright.PENANAe01cplKoQb
Tabitha: “What?”
526Please respect copyright.PENANAUz4LdXxH8d
Her question brought Slyphid’s head around to look her in the eyes. With their intimate bond, Slyphid was able to respond telepathically.
526Please respect copyright.PENANA8rUZhsIEMJ
Slyphid: ‘I smell her! I’m Frightened! But…there’s…more than just her…a…Predator.’
526Please respect copyright.PENANAoetiKRlWiI
The panicked voice in her head startled Tabitha. For a rhyme dragon of all things to be frightened…
526Please respect copyright.PENANA9S7DpUCwWG
Tabitha: “What do you…mean?”
526Please respect copyright.PENANAEyuhtOcMPg
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.
526Please respect copyright.PENANAnzX9m5AnjA
Louise: ‘Wait!? Shadows?’
526Please respect copyright.PENANAL7biolr1y7
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.
526Please respect copyright.PENANAGIRqpac9mB
When the smoke cleared, something completely unexpected awaited everyone. Not only did Louise summon a human but she summoned multiple familiars.
526Please respect copyright.PENANAaxHjO039JH
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.
526Please respect copyright.PENANAXixnFVruX5
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.
526Please respect copyright.PENANANeyC2UbS2P
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.
526Please respect copyright.PENANAuqhy11Eerb
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.
526Please respect copyright.PENANAElP80ZSvYx
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.
526Please respect copyright.PENANAlDeBeEF1CM
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.
526Please respect copyright.PENANAVWIdTEyfMB
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.
526Please respect copyright.PENANAOAPNQebbKw
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.
526Please respect copyright.PENANALyeLxx8A9P
As for Louise, she just couldn’t look away. Especially after what happened next.
526Please respect copyright.PENANAIv9mGhuFYZ
“Kolo Zu’u, druv los tinvaak dovahzul?”
526Please respect copyright.PENANAm5LM7egn79
…
…526Please respect copyright.PENANArDiy30IeAU
526Please respect copyright.PENANAU60tup0YlJ
Kirche: “Did that dragon just…speak?”
526Please respect copyright.PENANADuj8vf1H2L
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.
526Please respect copyright.PENANAbrj3nbj1Ac
After a few moments of conversation and looking around, they stopped and looked at Louise.
526Please respect copyright.PENANAXzWGIGwOgf
“Okay, who summoned us?”
526Please respect copyright.PENANACCATJcAMvD
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.
526Please respect copyright.PENANAEY9yEgIcsf
Louise: “I-I did. My name is Louise Francoise Le Blanc de La Valliere.”526Please respect copyright.PENANAjhNa8JQJ8Z
526Please respect copyright.PENANA15DQw9IJWt
“Well hi Louise, my name is Raskreia or Rask for short. This dragon is named Dovahkiin, strange name I know.”
526Please respect copyright.PENANAJDupeyFJJt
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.
526Please respect copyright.PENANABpyw8QeIKf
526Please respect copyright.PENANAeFl2Uod9sC
Raskreia: “Now, I have questions but first I think we should help the kid.”
526Please respect copyright.PENANAe4hPkeanbX
526Please respect copyright.PENANAd8Jks14OG2
Colbert finally escaped his shock and agreed. He asks some students to carry the boy to the infirmary.
526Please respect copyright.PENANAGqbsAdGCtS
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.
526Please respect copyright.PENANABgReGGGI5Y
Colbert: ‘Who knows what could’ve happened if we delayed any further.’
526Please respect copyright.PENANAIMEOkdXuzL
“Ugh, what, is with the racket.”
526Please respect copyright.PENANAx0ZI5h1M5q
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.
526Please respect copyright.PENANAEf24O0DR2R
“I slept in an inn in my underwear, and I wake up in a summoning circle in them. Ugh, what even?”
526Please respect copyright.PENANANYHIqAhFuZ
Raskreia: “Well, looks who’s awake.”
526Please respect copyright.PENANANqUqauBCwd
She sighs.526Please respect copyright.PENANAyV7GSgd7uU
526Please respect copyright.PENANA3p29V3nO9E
“And I am surrounded by children and a strange dragon.”
526Please respect copyright.PENANAwraz8iRbwu
Colbert: “Since everyone is awake, not including the injured, we should proceed with the bonding ritual.”526Please respect copyright.PENANAmPliyvRauX
526Please respect copyright.PENANAKz9rZ2Jfwg
Raskreia: “Sure, if you’re going to explain to us what in the nine hells is going on here exactly and where we are?”526Please respect copyright.PENANAsAEMHQZDN7
526Please respect copyright.PENANA14px2YD2Ux
At this, Louise answers before the man could.526Please respect copyright.PENANAU0Tj3EQFqJ
526Please respect copyright.PENANApvLXMgisK7
Louise: “You’re here because I summoned you all to be my familiar with the summon servant spell, and I am your master now.”
526Please respect copyright.PENANADcTcNBocrV
Rask rolls her eyes while the other 2 had more animated responses.526Please respect copyright.PENANA3sylkzDVSu
526Please respect copyright.PENANA8Zf6soCsoR
“Whoa, back the fuck up. Why should I be your familiar?”526Please respect copyright.PENANAh2EMQlbuPW
526Please respect copyright.PENANAzYt9vf2G3R
Dovahkiin: “What do you mean by bonding?”526Please respect copyright.PENANAxVkN2CNgvj
526Please respect copyright.PENANAJEi0PSyBsN
Everyone except Rask blinked. That was in Tristainian.526Please respect copyright.PENANA4OGDpFHgjY
526Please respect copyright.PENANA1yxc1W6MfF
Dovahkiin: “Oh, so now my voice returns.”
526Please respect copyright.PENANAlyqTauxuLS
Colbert: “You can speak our language?”
526Please respect copyright.PENANArXWE8Qswpa
Dovahkiin: “I can speak this language, but before I was…confused and spoke in native Dovahzul.”
526Please respect copyright.PENANAfdkovmuBA3
Raskreia: “Really? I guess I don’t need this anymore then.”
526Please respect copyright.PENANAxD5oyJNrye
Rask puts the ring back in her bag.
526Please respect copyright.PENANAjCvzTsA6jS
Colbert: “Dovahzul, I haven’t heard of that language.”
526Please respect copyright.PENANAJ1EuIPSVsI
“Neither have I, strange.”
526Please respect copyright.PENANAyLuG97kB2U
Dovahkiin: “Enough of this, what do you mean by bonding?”
526Please respect copyright.PENANAhcYqH7a6L1
Despite the group before her, Louise bravely stepped forward again.
526Please respect copyright.PENANADje8t4GAO6
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.”
526Please respect copyright.PENANAyUfVVD4V5M
The reactions from all summoned present varied but none good.526Please respect copyright.PENANAHhfGDHc4lD
526Please respect copyright.PENANAHUaBVUXLJi
Raskreia: “I’m fine with getting summoned but getting branded like some animal, no thanks.”526Please respect copyright.PENANAyIjdyTWtA6
526Please respect copyright.PENANA0UBMhbW6ut
Louise’s mood quickly deteriorates but there’s still hope she thought. She summoned more than one, surely one would agree.
526Please respect copyright.PENANAOsrIpmWZFi
But that thought quickly faded away when the dragon growled. It drew itself up by stretching its wings down and glared at Louise.
526Please respect copyright.PENANAqJJYSEsUH7
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?”
526Please respect copyright.PENANAZtalqOwBb5
Raskreia: ‘Oh no, they made the dragon mad. That’s never a good idea. No matter the plane.’
526Please respect copyright.PENANAcc4s86Ncqj
Colbert stepped in as Louise faltered and took several steps back.
526Please respect copyright.PENANAEQ0MZztDWi
Colbert: “It’s how the holy ritual has been performed for hundreds of years.”
526Please respect copyright.PENANAphrfqPZ90n
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.”
526Please respect copyright.PENANAIQg3VxtlgL
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.
526Please respect copyright.PENANANDTcg2s0K1
Dovahkiin: “I for one refuse to become anyone’s slave. I simply want to return to the life I lived before this all occurred.”
526Please respect copyright.PENANAEKzAkkab2C
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.”
526Please respect copyright.PENANA3GMIA1F4uQ
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.’526Please respect copyright.PENANAyzTbBxsgdi
526Please respect copyright.PENANAKBSA85QtH4
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.
526Please respect copyright.PENANAM8WIBbO1I0
She grips her wand tightly, wishing this was all a dream. Unbeknownst to her, there was one that considered her offer.
526Please respect copyright.PENANAZoeNZTX54v
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.
526Please respect copyright.PENANAegDEkmooY6
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.
526Please respect copyright.PENANAViA64sEj4U
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.526Please respect copyright.PENANAPAQETGGhqH
526Please respect copyright.PENANAr6sYr6cOM0
She knew intimately what happens in situations like that. Despite her previous obligations, the redhead made her choice.526Please respect copyright.PENANAmEz3rWnQAd
526Please respect copyright.PENANAHdu3Sfj23z
“If a familiar is what you seek, then you shall have one. I agree to be yours.”
526Please respect copyright.PENANAK5PK7N06Xr
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.
526Please respect copyright.PENANACzi8l0yP20
Dovahkiin: “You!? You would subject yourself as a slave to a child? Where is your pride as a Dovah?”
526Please respect copyright.PENANASLDLwKAcwk
“Dovah? I see, that's your word for it. So you can tell?”
526Please respect copyright.PENANAQPM6Wftp0L
Dovahkiin: *Nod*
526Please respect copyright.PENANAcrzlgZ7gBb
“I have my own reasons.”
526Please respect copyright.PENANAncfK4CdacK
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.
526Please respect copyright.PENANAESOXoMRaLK
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?
526Please respect copyright.PENANALED6Tk2XOF
Raskreia: “Well I won’t judge you. It’s your choice.”
526Please respect copyright.PENANAeDbptAGdry
Louise reapplies her rule of steel mask and starts towards the redhead. She let out an indignant, resigned huff as she raised her wand.
526Please respect copyright.PENANA0UTQBY1uav
Louise: “Consider yourself fortunate, commoner. Normally, you’d never in your life have a noble do this to you.”
526Please respect copyright.PENANANkDHVGBUvM
Louise: “My name is Louise Francoise Le Blanc de La Valliere. Oh, pentagon that rules the five elements, bless this individual and-”
526Please respect copyright.PENANAdcIHn5R7T7
526Please respect copyright.PENANALireWUFkQG
‘Did you think this was it?’
526Please respect copyright.PENANAhnV4Sgqx7w
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.
526Please respect copyright.PENANAH5itiy3UtV
“Louise!?”
526Please respect copyright.PENANA1sjYVFtoCW
Everyone, including the dragon, looks at Louise with concern. Before anyone could go to her and see what’s wrong, something else extraordinary happens.
526Please respect copyright.PENANA7t2ITnCPBF
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.
526Please respect copyright.PENANA35yVzlXjue
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.
526Please respect copyright.PENANAh5QsZbVbS9
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.
526Please respect copyright.PENANA6BJHnxaEWD
Raskeria: “The hell was that?”
526Please respect copyright.PENANASur1hyFuIJ
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.
526Please respect copyright.PENANA510sAPxw1i
Colbert: “A golem?”
526Please respect copyright.PENANAXkz6csF1QZ
Dovahkiin: “No, something more.”
526Please respect copyright.PENANAmROvhq68ah
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.
526Please respect copyright.PENANAiUEbfzjE1g
Guiche: “Unhand me this instant!”
526Please respect copyright.PENANAgb9EPKWi7Y
It didn’t respond instead it brought its other arm up and balled it into a fist.
526Please respect copyright.PENANAIWPVqv24Im
Guiche: “You would dare hit a noble!? I tell you, my father is a gener-”
526Please respect copyright.PENANAO9hnerAH3f
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.
526Please respect copyright.PENANA807ltvoxrx
Colbert: “Mister Grammont!”
526Please respect copyright.PENANA1a4lxVZEmg
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.
526Please respect copyright.PENANAExGZfsMTGf
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.
526Please respect copyright.PENANAAvh8qbbIRa
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.
526Please respect copyright.PENANAaJswMvotB7
Guiche: “L-Louise?”526Please respect copyright.PENANA3DJJGD7hQz
526Please respect copyright.PENANAetkHEUKxQ4
Colbert: “But how?”
526Please respect copyright.PENANA2SrUb1MkOe
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.
526Please respect copyright.PENANAWvqSLxeRx6
Raskeria: “Can this day get any crazier?”
526Please respect copyright.PENANAcveio7xHti
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.
526Please respect copyright.PENANAKZxLSOizb2
Guiche: “How dare-”
526Please respect copyright.PENANA2yTy183Zc6
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.
526Please respect copyright.PENANACY8d2D7JS2
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.
526Please respect copyright.PENANAajjJrlAFz6
Regardless, Dova took the golem and threw it across the field away from the students.
526Please respect copyright.PENANA2ZDjhGvnWt
While this was happening, the redhead took Louise to a safe distance. She could help but she wanted to keep Louise safe for now.
526Please respect copyright.PENANAJGlpJpbxHA
Raskeria: “That has to be among the strongest golems I’ve ever seen.”
526Please respect copyright.PENANArmHaT1MQRC
Dovahkiin: “It’s like a Dwemer automation but more…advanced somehow.”
526Please respect copyright.PENANAzJ7AD0Roer
Louise?: “I don’t remember you two when I left. Who are you two?”
526Please respect copyright.PENANAm71IJTROhd
Raskeria: “Talk later, fight now!”
526Please respect copyright.PENANA3Gc0MdrUEN
Dovahkiin: “YOL TOOR SHUL!”
526Please respect copyright.PENANAJPdOqx3R1j
The dragon breathes intense heat at the golem while Raskeria casts a strange spell that also shoots bolts of fire.
526Please respect copyright.PENANAvZlTdUPbJV
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.
526Please respect copyright.PENANAlepg3loPVQ
Raskeria: “Okay, that thing is too dangerous. Disintegrate.”
526Please respect copyright.PENANAtaC4Oz7mKx
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.
526Please respect copyright.PENANAWRmobYLjMa
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.
526Please respect copyright.PENANAkYRxuwwBVT
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.
526Please respect copyright.PENANA2i3NJ1rdOH
This proved to be the right choice when the sound of lightning cracked from the cloud of dust.
526Please respect copyright.PENANAWrhBxrWp05
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.
526Please respect copyright.PENANARQlNcJ4pfw
Raskeria: “Another one!? To think, I was just hanging out with friends and now I have to fight for my life.”
526Please respect copyright.PENANA2VQwLY97A9
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.
526Please respect copyright.PENANATW6IxEOgzc
Eventually, the sound of clicking reached her ears. She disassembled her shield and placed her hands behind her with her palms open.
526Please respect copyright.PENANAd1boMYAX6B
Louise 2: ‘Here’s my chanc-”
526Please respect copyright.PENANAacmzgYRVPL
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.
526Please respect copyright.PENANA67WwnIAlGB
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.
526Please respect copyright.PENANAIxLLwtce6d
Raskeria: “Did Louise summon another one? I can’t deny it, that’s impressive.”
526Please respect copyright.PENANAOtyXuCjiDe
Louise 2: “Friend or foe?”
526Please respect copyright.PENANAtVucSzu9yp
Jake: “Depends on what happens next. The name’s Jake Logan Anderson, Jake will do.”
526Please respect copyright.PENANAeJv6Lopo2D
Dovahkiin: “FUS RO DAH”
526Please respect copyright.PENANAvNoNcE8fM9
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.
526Please respect copyright.PENANANSAyYVge9I
Dovahkiin: ‘I need to get used to this body and fast. I hope that was the last of them.’
526Please respect copyright.PENANAzwk0vl1KtK
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.
526Please respect copyright.PENANAyLsS9NTf13
Louise 2: “Mr. Colbert!”
526Please respect copyright.PENANA8WCdKTcr1Q
This seemed to jog the man from his shock.
526Please respect copyright.PENANAcBEUG8qH0d
Colbert: “Um yes, what do you need Ms….you are Valliere right?”
526Please respect copyright.PENANAF5etvvdlHT
Louise 2: “Yes. Evacuate everyone from this place right now.”
526Please respect copyright.PENANAuFMx4pUVKb
Raskeria: “Why? Isn’t it over?”
526Please respect copyright.PENANArC0iAoozaL
Jake: “No, it’s never that easy.”
526Please respect copyright.PENANAQstV8wERbQ
Louise 2: “He’s right, this courtyard isn’t safe anymore.”
526Please respect copyright.PENANAgxTKc8SLHc
The doppelganger looked at the strangers she fought with.
526Please respect copyright.PENANAktnPWrOVf8
Louise 2: “Can trust one of you to help Colbert protect everyone.”
526Please respect copyright.PENANAevnh0Hx6CC
Before any of them could answer, the red-head answered.
526Please respect copyright.PENANAQ5nBsyBTpT
“I’ll protect him along with…you I guess.”
526Please respect copyright.PENANAm3oDURwRSP
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.
526Please respect copyright.PENANA6MS9aP9Gpb
Louise 2: “And who are you?”
526Please respect copyright.PENANAzdhXBIW59O
“My name is Aeterna Flamma, your familiar.”
526Please respect copyright.PENANAF3oXQ6rTFp
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.
526Please respect copyright.PENANAlgCQ8iC68k
Dovahkiin: “Trust her, she is stronger than she looks.”
526Please respect copyright.PENANACWW17CI3lc
Louise: 2: “…Fine. I won’t argue with a dragon. Especially not now.”
526Please respect copyright.PENANAA7hnBJuUOG
Aeterna: “Good, come on everyone.”
526Please respect copyright.PENANAqPHdRNQsp7
Colbert: “Y-You heard them, we can’t stay here any-”
526Please respect copyright.PENANAN2kyn7Bf4z
Suddenly, the sound of something rattling made itself known throughout the courtyard. Louise 2 clicked her tongue.
526Please respect copyright.PENANAVeYGl1vZYo
Louise 2: “Go, NOW!”
526Please respect copyright.PENANAUPlcbHjqCe
They followed her order, many out of fear of the sight before them. The 3 golems slowly but surely collapsed into strange black sand.
526Please respect copyright.PENANAvcnexVx4TH
Jake: “What the fuck?! Are these truly machines?”
526Please respect copyright.PENANAYm4e5XKgtS
Raskeria: “I’m starting to question that too.”
526Please respect copyright.PENANAtucv9XiL8t
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.
526Please respect copyright.PENANA8u0LYfufvQ
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.
526Please respect copyright.PENANA3v1IMgQHe1
The arms were next. The left was a massive blade and the right was a massive claw hand.
526Please respect copyright.PENANAMBjjCmsHQ1
Finally, the head was bulky enough to discourage any beheading. But the most important part was the lines connecting to the chest area.
526Please respect copyright.PENANATEhu9Kin2E
Louise 2: ‘That’s its weak point.’
526Please respect copyright.PENANAJonLsQeLog
Its eyes finally light up and lock onto the fighters.
526Please respect copyright.PENANAIwACoqE3dn
Louise 2: “Just my luck, a Ravager.”
526Please respect copyright.PENANAi3NqcqAzNm
Raskeria: “A what?”
526Please respect copyright.PENANAqY15RhLYvf
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.
526Please respect copyright.PENANApGCAVgifYV
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.
526Please respect copyright.PENANAmaJ6K6lpFA
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.
526Please respect copyright.PENANADMGesXw6EQ
Louise 2: “Go!”
526Please respect copyright.PENANAfrXxech9f2
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.
526Please respect copyright.PENANADWbu0QgYFg
Raskeria aided the group with various spells, mostly fire and stuff like ‘Create Pit’.
526Please respect copyright.PENANAdcoPYSzxlG
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.
526Please respect copyright.PENANAgwmrpU6tQv
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.
526Please respect copyright.PENANAZLO38frEso
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.
526Please respect copyright.PENANAyv8Jl3N2Y9
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.
526Please respect copyright.PENANAQXJdTXVI3Y
Raskeria: “Yeah, stay right there. Disintegrate.”
526Please respect copyright.PENANAxk2MBRoowv
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.
526Please respect copyright.PENANAtOKxhSF1n1
Louise 2: “That won’t be enough! We need to destroy its core.”
526Please respect copyright.PENANA2ZAjugQZCT
Jake: “Where is it then!?”
526Please respect copyright.PENANA2RXXiVFkdb
Louise 2: “It was in its chest but who knows where it will be when it reforms.”
526Please respect copyright.PENANAcOJumzhDY7
They look back at Rask and she couldn’t help but rub the back of her head.
526Please respect copyright.PENANAWx2ztfnOFs
Raskeria: “My bad.”
526Please respect copyright.PENANAzq40c3UFve
Jake: “Tch, it’s like fighting a machine version of me.”
526Please respect copyright.PENANADCDhaPLZ1X
Dovahkiin: “FO KRAH DIIN”
526Please respect copyright.PENANAYaxgyUchbz
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.
526Please respect copyright.PENANA3rXOWyRcMz
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.
526Please respect copyright.PENANAnRKQuMRFju
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.”
526Please respect copyright.PENANAbFW1y1TMgh
Raskeria: “What do you mean?”
526Please respect copyright.PENANAyHJqcHk6RV
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.”
526Please respect copyright.PENANAmZzXBbMixi
Jake: “…Fine.”
526Please respect copyright.PENANA0Pv1zukhvo
The other 2 nodded and got into position.
526Please respect copyright.PENANAYgZ5gvSF1m
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.
526Please respect copyright.PENANAPtSawJO5iA
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.
526Please respect copyright.PENANAOdar1SDMDn
Louise 2: “You got to be kidding me.”526Please respect copyright.PENANAoo9t3Bm0tk
526Please respect copyright.PENANAp6aJqrVP04
The Ravager started firing at everything below. Raskeria created another shield around everyone to block the heavy bullet fire.
526Please respect copyright.PENANALy3n3sY4Si
Raskeria: “Dovahkiin, this is all you. I’ll focus on protecting everyone while you distract it enough to prevent it from firing.”
526Please respect copyright.PENANA0scBHWsY07
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.
526Please respect copyright.PENANAPHWECaWeN3
Despite Dovah’s best efforts though, Ravager wasn’t that bothered by it’s attacks. That was until Dovah started using more unique shouts.
526Please respect copyright.PENANAaYTnWYmacT
Dovahkiin: “VEN GAAR NOS!”
526Please respect copyright.PENANAT2gHQpYjXa
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.
526Please respect copyright.PENANAClORZNMsp7
Louise 2: “Great, bring it down quick! I can see where the core is! Focus your attacks on its head!”
526Please respect copyright.PENANAdmDYNmGbun
Raskeria: “I still need to keep the shield on Dovahkiin so I can’t attack.”
526Please respect copyright.PENANAoixriwtoet
Louise 2: “That’s a good thing, just focus on support.”
526Please respect copyright.PENANAafjHNnzP9d
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.
526Please respect copyright.PENANA3QD9BFSsEs
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.
526Please respect copyright.PENANAX3jLeVF43t
Raskeria: “Was that…magic?”
526Please respect copyright.PENANAJspt9qxedQ
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.”
526Please respect copyright.PENANAruWH2gvoYE
Dova shrugged it off but still lost some ground. Jake on the other hand was on fire and falling.
526Please respect copyright.PENANAxVWCMMfNWf
Jake: ‘Of course, it had to use fire and lightning of all things.’
526Please respect copyright.PENANACzibW4VoMv
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.
526Please respect copyright.PENANAKEtmwuvCoP
It abandoned the dragon and went to delete the living weapon. But before it could, another welcomed surprise appeared. The final and winning variable.
526Please respect copyright.PENANA3kgjvT9QhE
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.
526Please respect copyright.PENANA58VPXCYyWo
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.
526Please respect copyright.PENANAz8pLp7kAab
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.
526Please respect copyright.PENANAQSFaAYM1dg
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.
526Please respect copyright.PENANAzEwG9MFL5S
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.
526Please respect copyright.PENANARcRgl632Aw
Louise 2: “I don’t know who you are but if you can understand me, keep it down while I end this.”
526Please respect copyright.PENANAHNQ4HCRCcG
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.
526Please respect copyright.PENANA1fn3cWKwEM
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.
526Please respect copyright.PENANAfFH1zKisJQ
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.’
526Please respect copyright.PENANAFzuz2CZ99H
The distance between them became smaller.
526Please respect copyright.PENANAGu96CKRAGK
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.
526Please respect copyright.PENANAPODrYeckib
20 meters
526Please respect copyright.PENANAK7m3DNUOsa
Arcs of pink electricity started to form around her.
526Please respect copyright.PENANADi4nFmBSzK
15 meters
526Please respect copyright.PENANACbISnIV1Wk
She opened her eyes; her vision was surrounded by plenty of warnings but she dismissed them.
526Please respect copyright.PENANARoMppHUYVI
10 meters
526Please respect copyright.PENANAWzE8RqnwbO
Louise 2: “Adapt to this!”
526Please respect copyright.PENANAtCZr1YILDK
5 meters
526Please respect copyright.PENANAEvbD47QpqX
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.
526Please respect copyright.PENANAMNSkiXaK9V
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.
526Please respect copyright.PENANAsC7IRSOKVh
The sonic boom made it into everyone’s ears. Students screamed and even the fighters had to cover their ears as the ground quaked.
526Please respect copyright.PENANA4eW9CvCnYQ
The fighters aside from Jake ran up to the aftermath of the attack. Colbert also came running despite Aeterna’s warning.
526Please respect copyright.PENANAwvglNBheky
Good news, the Ravager now sported a missing head. Bad news, behind the Ravager was a badly damaged Louise 2.
526Please respect copyright.PENANAbag2n3XOsC
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.
526Please respect copyright.PENANAz35tw0fPzm
Raskeria: “Okay, that looks terrible. But I can fix this.”
526Please respect copyright.PENANA8ZZHKnSNwV
She started to create ice to cool her down before applying healing magic. But before she could a voice stopped her.
526Please respect copyright.PENANA19ehPIN4S4
“STOP, YOU’RE GOING TO KILL HER!”
526Please respect copyright.PENANApbq6bx5TJP
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.
526Please respect copyright.PENANAvHMAVCcLpD
Colbert: “Stop, any closer and we’ll consider you an enemy!”
526Please respect copyright.PENANAkNcUdP2MsM
Raskeria: “I vote enemy, where was he when everything was going wrong?”
526Please respect copyright.PENANASA7bl3g2Rl
Louise 2: “B-Bench? I-Is that…y-you?”
526Please respect copyright.PENANABEVqvQIxwD
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.
526Please respect copyright.PENANAuL9RNiiXsf
Colbert: “Miss Valliere!”
526Please respect copyright.PENANAc0NsUokwoe
Louise 2: “Please…let Bench…come to me…professor.”
526Please respect copyright.PENANArhkG9Ci6Tw
Raskeria: “But what about my magic? I can heal you good as new.”
526Please respect copyright.PENANAFg8LIBxc2v
Louise 2: “Don’t…I…d-don’t know…what effect it…will h-have.”
526Please respect copyright.PENANAFFSC8YkkHb
Bench: “Listen to her, I know what to do. Trust me, she’s in good hands.”
526Please respect copyright.PENANAVkcxwYSmaC
Raskeria: “…Fine. This whole thing is beyond me anyway.”
526Please respect copyright.PENANAFgbPr9UYN5
Heeding his words, Raskeria and Colbert moved out of the way. Bench approached Louise 2 and a blue line scanned her entire being.
526Please respect copyright.PENANAOjEpib0fcC
Bench: “You’ve really done it this time Louise.”
526Please respect copyright.PENANA5jp7o1VHdb
Louise 2: “Why does…it…matter…I destroyed…the Ravager.”
526Please respect copyright.PENANAlISDJxL8gc
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.”
526Please respect copyright.PENANAymAnWIUP4W
Raskeria: ‘You mean what I was going to do?’
526Please respect copyright.PENANACKGoPchlEX
Louise 2: “Then would…this help?”
526Please respect copyright.PENANANvrsbxH6yQ
She asks while letting go of a red orb that was giving a low hum.
526Please respect copyright.PENANAij3JuaTJtr
Bench: “Is that what I think it is?”
526Please respect copyright.PENANAWmDS3UFBBt
Louise 2: “Y-You bet…it is.”
526Please respect copyright.PENANAXzGiv4xUlj
A blue line passed over the orb from Bench.
526Please respect copyright.PENANALd5f4N0D3I
Bench: “I can’t believe it, a Ravager core.”
526Please respect copyright.PENANAXM58y7x0bD
Raskeria: “You mean that’s what we were fighting to destroy? Why is it intact?”
526Please respect copyright.PENANAYeRUjjIBP9
Bench: “Because this might be the only sure way to save Louise.”
526Please respect copyright.PENANABgoyozvpm4
Raskeria: “Magic is out but the core of that monster is okay?”
526Please respect copyright.PENANAwCRqHSurGZ
Dovahkiin: “I agree, destroy it.”
526Please respect copyright.PENANAQCyMQ4AXQq
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?”
526Please respect copyright.PENANAiinrXasZQm
Raskeria: “No but I’m keeping my eye on you…and that.”
526Please respect copyright.PENANAY1dPq8NlQM
Bench: “By all means.”
526Please respect copyright.PENANA0xDwV0zUqk
Louise 2: “So…can you…d-do it Bench?”
526Please respect copyright.PENANACTjvTy8mEG
Bench: “Do you know who you’re talking to?
526Please respect copyright.PENANAjBkzlXrjUF
Louise 2: “That’s…good.”
526Please respect copyright.PENANAkPDwESC4hn
Louise 2 finally succumbs to her wounds and passes out. Bench looks to Colbert and gives a stern order.
526Please respect copyright.PENANAPENDjGwYVP
Bench: “Take me to where your clinic is, I have a Hunter to repair!”
526Please respect copyright.PENANApJvuHvjWQ7
Jake: “Wait a minute!”
526Please respect copyright.PENANAhKu78uO2O8
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.
526Please respect copyright.PENANAYlfSzumrAE
Bench: “What are you doing?!”
526Please respect copyright.PENANAf9MJhYNRLk
Jake: “Just because I helped defeat that thing doesn’t mean we’re allies. I need answers!”
526Please respect copyright.PENANAZfKRl3MwFF
Raskeria: “Calm down Jake, do you really want to fight everyone here?”
526Please respect copyright.PENANAz4ZUAkSrQ3
Jake: “…I’ll do what I have to.”
526Please respect copyright.PENANAsRJ0eKJXoy
Colbert: “W-What do you want to know?”
526Please respect copyright.PENANA4bKbm5QQnd
Bench: “We don’t have time for this! Louise will die if Colbert doesn’t show me to the clinic.”
526Please respect copyright.PENANAN20zWvAMxd
Jake: “I don’t care.”
526Please respect copyright.PENANAu3rtj7krfX
Bench: “You-”
526Please respect copyright.PENANAxnIquC9W1u
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.
526Please respect copyright.PENANAP0drxki9zE
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.
526Please respect copyright.PENANAYU4P1ozBty
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.
526Please respect copyright.PENANAg3bgiL7ELW
“Can you understand me?”
526Please respect copyright.PENANAs7yO2fK8b5
Raskeria: ‘A translation spell? Oh, he’s good.’
526Please respect copyright.PENANA0F1IYKJCQo
Colbert: “Y-Yes.”
526Please respect copyright.PENANAhLd3tUoCv1
“Wonderful, my name is Zander and I’ll take them to the clinic.”
526Please respect copyright.PENANAOgwZUzRRyR
Colbert: “But how? You don’t know the way.”
526Please respect copyright.PENANACt8olqQXU2
Zander: “I’ll ask one of the students or the staff. I’m sure they’ll help.”
526Please respect copyright.PENANAVSMGKh8imb
With a slight twist of his wrist, Louise begins to float off the ground.
526Please respect copyright.PENANABs4LFY7HVu
Zander: “Shall we go Bench?”
526Please respect copyright.PENANA5pZnAgzwpi
Bench: “Yes, quickly now.”
526Please respect copyright.PENANA15wiDECtry
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.”
526Please respect copyright.PENANA5d9XGhFWl2
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.
526Please respect copyright.PENANAWncvw4acq6
No one said a word until Zander was gone.
526Please respect copyright.PENANAWl6j30tizL
Colbert: “Okay, so what do you want to know Jake.”
526Please respect copyright.PENANASNgRSTgFFH
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…”
526Please respect copyright.PENANAQuNxkKf7km
Jake brings his blade a bit closer to Colbert which makes everyone tense up, ready for another fight.
526Please respect copyright.PENANAeK38imBY7t
Jake: “You will take me back to New York.”
526Please respect copyright.PENANAEcHWqCQvSt
Colbert: “I’m sorry but…there’s no way back. None that we know of.”
526Please respect copyright.PENANAudulhWS771
The moment those words left his mouth, he felt the urge to slice off his head.
526Please respect copyright.PENANA05C0rPmJH9
No way to get back to New York meant Blackwatch ran free and the only family he has left was in danger.
526Please respect copyright.PENANAC3WLc6wgBc
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.
526Please respect copyright.PENANA5x4wsnwY30
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.
526Please respect copyright.PENANA8wpsD3AY4X
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!”
526Please respect copyright.PENANAnwi0KHdwAN
Colbert: “Sir, I’m truly sorry but there is no way to reverse this.”
526Please respect copyright.PENANALkly7OVdVG
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.
526Please respect copyright.PENANAzIOlP2Pb5E
Raskeria: “There might be a way.”
526Please respect copyright.PENANADDJBhVHdV5
Everyone turned toward the girl. Jake’s eyes widened with relief but also slow-cooking anger.
526Please respect copyright.PENANA67GRDlcSnt
Jake: “Tell me.”
526Please respect copyright.PENANAwRqmeqcg7d
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.”
526Please respect copyright.PENANAMNABHEighl
Jake: “Then-”
526Please respect copyright.PENANAdoLBXxp8C9
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…”
526Please respect copyright.PENANAS510zXUpFJ
Jake: “Or?”
526Please respect copyright.PENANAHLyeyeySqY
Raskeria: “Learn magic and go yourself.”
526Please respect copyright.PENANAgZs96J5lbG
Colbert: “Learn magic?”
526Please respect copyright.PENANAX0CgHVQRKl
Raskeria: “Yeah, it will be hard but it can be done.”
526Please respect copyright.PENANAlauGBdHbrr
Jake: “…”
526Please respect copyright.PENANAVIzEJepPOc
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.
526Please respect copyright.PENANAHpHYBjr4bm
But still, time is of the essence. He can’t be gone for long.
526Please respect copyright.PENANAtcsiEJoClL
Jake: “How long would it take for me to learn.”
526Please respect copyright.PENANAV4grnIrTe6
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.”
526Please respect copyright.PENANAWelYK7tajB
Jake: ‘Years!? No, I don’t have that kind of time. I’ll leave that as a backup.’
526Please respect copyright.PENANA3N1gPEhNX0
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.”
526Please respect copyright.PENANAknsapY3d6B
Raskeria: “Sure, sure. Right now though, I’m tired. I’m going home and telling everyone what happened. See you. ‘gate’.”
526Please respect copyright.PENANAIsDVHmKjYG
A rip in reality appears behind Raskeria. She yawns and goes through which causes it to close.
526Please respect copyright.PENANAHOe5BEc4KC
Jake: ‘Tch, she better make good on our deal. Or I have another person on my list to kill here.’
526Please respect copyright.PENANAt6PRlLxFPT
Jake: *Sigh*
526Please respect copyright.PENANAPXeitf9Os5
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.”
526Please respect copyright.PENANA6CSydSu0VZ
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.
526Please respect copyright.PENANAqy1jN3jnJJ
Colbert: “Well, you’re the last one. What will you do?”
526Please respect copyright.PENANAGqg7clKhDg
Dovahkiin: “Stay for now. Jake’s situation seemed more serious than mine so he can get the gate treatment first. Besides…”
526Please respect copyright.PENANAofJTlm3S2T
Dovahkiin: ‘It’s not all Louise’s fault that I ended up here. Damn that dedric prince.’
526Please respect copyright.PENANADcsJuTkvYL
Colbert: “Yes?”
526Please respect copyright.PENANAqy0e61bTOZ
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.”
526Please respect copyright.PENANA3ijZ2q874v
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.
526Please respect copyright.PENANAdcEl6sDEDe
Colbert: “Brimir save us, what has Louise unleashed…”
526Please respect copyright.PENANAcWKKODZmR2
[Louise’s Room]
526Please respect copyright.PENANAut4hGGDfP7
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.
526Please respect copyright.PENANAzBJGdSPvAf
She gently takes her to the bed and lies her down.
526Please respect copyright.PENANAzbu1ZIg5Fj
Aeterna: “Already, that power is drawing dangerous things to you.”
526Please respect copyright.PENANAqJNwgWsVY6
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.
526Please respect copyright.PENANAU5iiMN5UUu
Aeterna: “Did she really expect me to sleep on that? I guess she was expecting an animal though.”
526Please respect copyright.PENANAH1c8UsdSus
She looks down at her body and remembers that she’s still wearing lingerie.
526Please respect copyright.PENANAxVyUN25NdR
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.”
526Please respect copyright.PENANA4Lfj8IxArA
With that thought, Aeterna leaves the room.
526Please respect copyright.PENANAH1VSutr9d6
…
…
526Please respect copyright.PENANAXS1eWVPtWz
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.
526Please respect copyright.PENANAY4GOkYCWEt
‘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.’
526Please respect copyright.PENANAJLE87ib1Ed
‘Hehe, I’m getting excited. Sweet dreams Louise.’
526Please respect copyright.PENANAGaeVqwWClL
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.
526Please respect copyright.PENANAbg0hGrVWjm
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.
526Please respect copyright.PENANA5mpzkfU7Ek
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.
526Please respect copyright.PENANAt0lKf6G0Ml
Among the clouds and across the forest, more rips threaten to form.
526Please respect copyright.PENANAVD33hGRkRq
‘Let the games begin.’

What do you think? Did you guess who was going to show up? Anyone OOC?
526Please respect copyright.PENANAz1TAG9KKK1
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.
526Please respect copyright.PENANAkfUK1hJqdO
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.
526Please respect copyright.PENANAu9ZRYI0pPD
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.
