Welcome, to my first fan fic. After years, I finally gave in and tried a few.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuBk57gF2s
Mostly crossovers.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIR1yDdz0R2
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.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjQzS8RIWs
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.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPkuuHJKHp
They will be listed at the end of this one-shot.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBZKtZMyBA
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.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkYoObfS2L
This is version 1 after all. If I can perfect the foundation and people like it, then I can continue.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslPEm6xZe6
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.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvt5u8ezDF
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.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7fJinvRUK
With that out of the way, let’s dive into this slice of eternity in a moment.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycFldKIjAM
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8Uh7Mogic
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.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbZWb2DlzN
Aside from that though, they were also anxious. Anxious about what kind of familiar they would get.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNv2uDnvNc
A summoned familiar mirrors their master’s personality and elemental affinity. Who knows what hidden secrets their familiars may accidentally reveal to everyone?
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSwZ9nqy17
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.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG696D4kI5V
Yes, all of them have tried and succeeded in summoning a familiar.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5xrTLKkT0
Well, all but one.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZ2jsNFEXJ
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.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByqTwtA9WV
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.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGsAdW5aJ3
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.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZ0TaJeGiD
Colbert: “All right then, has everyone had their turn?”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XnAO5GRrQ
But the one to fully shatter her hopes was her bully and rival, Kirche von Zerbst. The busty chocolate beauty.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb27848Eo9z
Kirche: “No, not quite. Ms. Valliere hasn’t done it.”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJkSXN06vE
Louise: ‘Brimir, darn you Kirche.’
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrCyuyP1km
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.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYGU7wH8R7
Maybe then, she’ll be respected and can finally deliver some good news to her family.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJoo4KjSdw
She goes to the summoning area and prepares to-
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBIcmM9Shr
“Louise the zero.”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUi5su6UPOv
“What do you suppose she’ll summon”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITwtHiUuPy
“There’s no way she can summon anything. We’ll just have another explosion and nothing else.”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzo9Tzz819X
Kirche: “With all your boasting, you should be able to summon up something more amazing than this. Right, Louise?”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFLEzQw8vG
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.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWDE2scgZO
Louise: “Well of course!”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbt5qgAgXx
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.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BKcYgYRbb
She didn’t know it then but, someone was listening to her prayers.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOOahMBjSl
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!”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XUi1MmmFd
“And so the die is cast.”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnLcRzKLj9
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.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkaCWkeIisz
…
…
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mxk69dDWj
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.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0m1bZlfqx
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.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZIwYTMZVD
The students quickly collected themselves and began their favorite pass time.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSx5EPQPaGy
“Hah, I knew it! Once a Zero always a Zero.”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqvpYOv6wk
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.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ptAi60Dzf
The one most scared was Slyphid, the medium-sized blue dragon summoned by the petite blue-haired Tabitha.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCzMLB3Bzs
Tabitha: “What?”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJyrX1IwXK
Her question brought Slyphid’s head around to look her in the eyes. With their intimate bond, Slyphid was able to respond telepathically.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1B1CHHedGX
Slyphid: ‘I smell her! I’m Frightened! But…there’s…more than just her…a…Predator.’
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8ebBoQ9QW
The panicked voice in her head startled Tabitha. For a rhyme dragon of all things to be frightened…
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6iyWN5E8X
Tabitha: “What do you…mean?”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtx3JJodVh
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.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvzxjc63Gr
Louise: ‘Wait!? Shadows?’
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyDT3DbPFt
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.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUk9I7WMeH
When the smoke cleared, something completely unexpected awaited everyone. Not only did Louise summon a human but she summoned multiple familiars.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGPDpXVhgn
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.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEnOr89e24
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.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJuzNx7xB5
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.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB58xbjqj8I
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.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozIkDM3IPo
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.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbHYJLzavP
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.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbGRUJKVBM
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.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeIhcjXd2z
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.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0ek5IBMqj
As for Louise, she just couldn’t look away. Especially after what happened next.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqhFF3p1vh
“Kolo Zu’u, druv los tinvaak dovahzul?”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmkLRoh9jt
…
…653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMOsmYB6ob
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsP0wefQSSo
Kirche: “Did that dragon just…speak?”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIehpesxqY7
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.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABxOPD9mpy
After a few moments of conversation and looking around, they stopped and looked at Louise.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlJv8zDn5l
“Okay, who summoned us?”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbjebcSk07
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.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZp67ZYPkql
Louise: “I-I did. My name is Louise Francoise Le Blanc de La Valliere.”653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjakVAzgvu
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xqwRPv6as
“Well hi Louise, my name is Raskreia or Rask for short. This dragon is named Dovahkiin, strange name I know.”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJs12s4I7rg
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.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCJ7M69s7f
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlj2OKZbktU
Raskreia: “Now, I have questions but first I think we should help the kid.”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhleTjmD5qH
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHpeROGJi0
Colbert finally escaped his shock and agreed. He asks some students to carry the boy to the infirmary.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy61ku6spe2
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.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpLjmjFVVd
Colbert: ‘Who knows what could’ve happened if we delayed any further.’
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVfMYZzXW8
“Ugh, what, is with the racket.”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMWrwFZioc
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.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIru9wQWh08
“I slept in an inn in my underwear, and I wake up in a summoning circle in them. Ugh, what even?”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqXJAJYE5G
Raskreia: “Well, looks who’s awake.”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvt3bTvEXl
She sighs.653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLslCbqklD
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWsWuAeUiA
“And I am surrounded by children and a strange dragon.”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdX9e7QNBIj
Colbert: “Since everyone is awake, not including the injured, we should proceed with the bonding ritual.”653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oKniSQVkN
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMFdmrxNC9
Raskreia: “Sure, if you’re going to explain to us what in the nine hells is going on here exactly and where we are?”653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCk0HSZsBJ
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacf2vkVh42
At this, Louise answers before the man could.653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHqpeUzclR
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjLqHZv1AI
Louise: “You’re here because I summoned you all to be my familiar with the summon servant spell, and I am your master now.”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm34t2kIIP2
Rask rolls her eyes while the other 2 had more animated responses.653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmg1W60tCw
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksAD1WJJSv
“Whoa, back the fuck up. Why should I be your familiar?”653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcc5pTPnw0
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHFusADMqU
Dovahkiin: “What do you mean by bonding?”653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKW3WmCata
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpnIiXIKI3
Everyone except Rask blinked. That was in Tristainian.653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYNeeo4VJ6
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwomfBSwYm
Dovahkiin: “Oh, so now my voice returns.”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsiFMwMzPe5
Colbert: “You can speak our language?”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8vmikJuLg
Dovahkiin: “I can speak this language, but before I was…confused and spoke in native Dovahzul.”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdLvE1qcEr
Raskreia: “Really? I guess I don’t need this anymore then.”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3Mwd7koMw
Rask puts the ring back in her bag.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLcCHG0M3j
Colbert: “Dovahzul, I haven’t heard of that language.”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOApZuyVAA
“Neither have I, strange.”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2RFFuXbBm
Dovahkiin: “Enough of this, what do you mean by bonding?”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4s75HW1qk
Despite the group before her, Louise bravely stepped forward again.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iVxHUj0Q0
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.”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYQ0lWkQVE
The reactions from all summoned present varied but none good.653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvo1SEokdwA
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEW8Il14GZ
Raskreia: “I’m fine with getting summoned but getting branded like some animal, no thanks.”653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBdZKSzqmK
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzrrgmSpwT
Louise’s mood quickly deteriorates but there’s still hope she thought. She summoned more than one, surely one would agree.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTryPwEWhE8
But that thought quickly faded away when the dragon growled. It drew itself up by stretching its wings down and glared at Louise.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmORIVzLJl
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?”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJQgG8WlKv
Raskreia: ‘Oh no, they made the dragon mad. That’s never a good idea. No matter the plane.’
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCBVyvsisY
Colbert stepped in as Louise faltered and took several steps back.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Fk3XMvGpS
Colbert: “It’s how the holy ritual has been performed for hundreds of years.”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDERIRcEjCT
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.”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoi3q7C8SzI
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.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIqW5ipf1p
Dovahkiin: “I for one refuse to become anyone’s slave. I simply want to return to the life I lived before this all occurred.”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4wDzev5fb
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.”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfQw5ExbTn
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.’653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xVi3qk6k5
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IAkxP8h9J
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.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDOUD6Ryfp
She grips her wand tightly, wishing this was all a dream. Unbeknownst to her, there was one that considered her offer.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAzij3G5gB
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.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfO2IAXr1SP
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.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgG8P1LzHZk
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.653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeZJKYdJTx
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvIf5lcxSs
She knew intimately what happens in situations like that. Despite her previous obligations, the redhead made her choice.653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2CUEYc8hL
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6AORFe63pB
“If a familiar is what you seek, then you shall have one. I agree to be yours.”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyC2HXUnFcA
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.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGI7CmyKO6K
Dovahkiin: “You!? You would subject yourself as a slave to a child? Where is your pride as a Dovah?”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSRG7xld5e
“Dovah? I see, that's your word for it. So you can tell?”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhtaK8M11U
Dovahkiin: *Nod*
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIaL9LfL3xu
“I have my own reasons.”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ590Zbam7KH
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.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfz5DvYCNE
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?
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCL0DLyrje9
Raskreia: “Well I won’t judge you. It’s your choice.”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHWhkFTTQ5
Louise reapplies her rule of steel mask and starts towards the redhead. She let out an indignant, resigned huff as she raised her wand.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCL4ygGPKdd
Louise: “Consider yourself fortunate, commoner. Normally, you’d never in your life have a noble do this to you.”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSaSVInLhT
Louise: “My name is Louise Francoise Le Blanc de La Valliere. Oh, pentagon that rules the five elements, bless this individual and-”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1pNGDUt9x
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKNt56M6U0
‘Did you think this was it?’
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKNxWOw7cj
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.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YJ8E5glgB
“Louise!?”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIDRxQZ2mh
Everyone, including the dragon, looks at Louise with concern. Before anyone could go to her and see what’s wrong, something else extraordinary happens.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zUIBllp5T
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.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwzGYbYS2U
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.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlR1Cj5bDV
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.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFr4B00RYL
Raskeria: “The hell was that?”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8X4LTLkYhY
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.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyqJpkPS2i
Colbert: “A golem?”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadzwP8EGFr
Dovahkiin: “No, something more.”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5Gg1HTyWq
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.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOgAbakaT7
Guiche: “Unhand me this instant!”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpnrxlWd8W
It didn’t respond instead it brought its other arm up and balled it into a fist.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LLvCjLitD
Guiche: “You would dare hit a noble!? I tell you, my father is a gener-”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Y7eihMW7J
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.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHgQvHOoPE
Colbert: “Mister Grammont!”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvRiWZJ5w3
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.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLLhLkzRTn
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.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡed8YiA3DzV
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.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOG8M1bWqG
Guiche: “L-Louise?”653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyfGnZSpGa
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGpXEIXx9F
Colbert: “But how?”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVp6LAxRB9
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.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYLUCJ9cC1
Raskeria: “Can this day get any crazier?”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cLJc5UnoP
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.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6zwg7QaMT
Guiche: “How dare-”

He looked back up and to his shock, there was another black golem. This time Louise was standing between him and his death. She crossed her arms forming an X to block but it was unnecessary.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOyhanA85K
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.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSYoDLK1V6
Regardless, Dova took the golem and threw it across the field away from the students.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JZXoQReYf
While this was happening, the redhead took Louise to a safe distance. She could help but she wanted to keep Louise safe for now.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbuTApGynS
Raskeria: “That has to be among the strongest golems I’ve ever seen.”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3CMot7V3S
Dovahkiin: “It’s like a Dwemer automation but more…advanced somehow.”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCD4zEZWfI
Louise?: “I don’t remember you two when I left. Who are you two?”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPhdPUPVUU
Raskeria: “Talk later, fight now!”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLWhykqsVp
Dovahkiin: “YOL TOOR SHUL!”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1HWN4lr7D
The dragon breathes intense heat at the golem while Raskeria casts a strange spell that also shoots bolts of fire.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTtsOjwfmv
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.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNDAZaTbYZ
Raskeria: “Okay, that thing is too dangerous. Disintegrate.”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPabU1JNkt
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.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxDKSRCrWf
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.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7RmjS9I0z
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.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPNkTQHCFI
This proved to be the right choice when the sound of lightning cracked from the cloud of dust.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdiXysvAMsW
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.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgO8sqfxtxg
Raskeria: “Another one!? To think, I was just hanging out with friends and now I have to fight for my life.”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelToO2thi2
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.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnlcyUJPE9
Eventually, the sound of clicking reached her ears. She disassembled her shield and placed her hands behind her with her palms open.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpco4XmtneM
Louise 2: ‘Here’s my chanc-”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4gHfvXE7V
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.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsHnXpIOyq
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.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LvYNvzF5u
Raskeria: “Did Louise summon another one? I can’t deny it, that’s impressive.”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpD4aV1fdMc
Louise 2: “Friend or foe?”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hqIdFonFK
Jake: “Depends on what happens next. The name’s Jake Logan Anderson, Jake will do.”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JWXKJ5tOG
Dovahkiin: “FUS RO DAH”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfO1pJTj655
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.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4VIh9tYlq
Dovahkiin: ‘I need to get used to this body and fast. I hope that was the last of them.’
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2i3D1g2seQ
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.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOdNdGMVeF
Louise 2: “Mr. Colbert!”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOtbMa75Nb
This seemed to jog the man from his shock.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPxqq4qpQj
Colbert: “Um yes, what do you need Ms….you are Valliere right?”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xvjSFNuSB
Louise 2: “Yes. Evacuate everyone from this place right now.”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7U8N6jqpre
Raskeria: “Why? Isn’t it over?”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWMTRPKwBO
Jake: “No, it’s never that easy.”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbhDGNWZMb
Louise 2: “He’s right, this courtyard isn’t safe anymore.”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Ik4KQ49jg
The doppelganger looked at the strangers she fought with.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzKu93hesG
Louise 2: “Can trust one of you to help Colbert protect everyone.”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnsJfjAMZf
Before any of them could answer, the red-head answered.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JlQuKpnzv
“I’ll protect him along with…you I guess.”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgmkNjObKq
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.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCT54TZAZU
Louise 2: “And who are you?”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoXqNW0ckk
“My name is Aeterna Flamma, your familiar.”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHL33QIIazO
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.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUhKfW7099
Dovahkiin: “Trust her, she is stronger than she looks.”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvToKBPqNzi
Louise: 2: “…Fine. I won’t argue with a dragon. Especially not now.”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IJgNEebvZ
Aeterna: “Good, come on everyone.”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGU615jZzcF
Colbert: “Y-You heard them, we can’t stay here any-”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMaa30Ps7E
Suddenly, the sound of something rattling made itself known throughout the courtyard. Louise 2 clicked her tongue.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RESMJe6Er
Louise 2: “Go, NOW!”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWKu7RCYbx
They followed her order, many out of fear of the sight before them. The 3 golems slowly but surely collapsed into strange black sand.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQ5ljGGfQN
Jake: “What the fuck?! Are these truly machines?”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pVx4ZbGay
Raskeria: “I’m starting to question that too.”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1NoOuxwmq
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.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYtMjo4JX3
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.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOxN2BH3Ns
The arms were next. The left was a massive blade and the right was a massive claw hand.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqahHVaZ8Uj
Finally, the head was bulky enough to discourage any beheading. But the most important part was the lines connecting to the chest area.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLeTQzRh5e
Louise 2: ‘That’s its weak point.’
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4kd5RRciA
Its eyes finally light up and lock onto the fighters.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Jp6aMf4i8
Louise 2: “Just my luck, a Ravager.”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUKOQmP8Zd
Raskeria: “A what?”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXO7T7fDt3L
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.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8na2sTrED
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.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJGu08J5lg
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.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKbxFzjkPK
Louise 2: “Go!”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OucJCaRK0
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.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTOCjZJCmV
Raskeria aided the group with various spells, mostly fire and stuff like ‘Create Pit’.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqOohZHs5L
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.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kdvGKUocv
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.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM568hb1gKP
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.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnoqJ5RIQ4
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.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJ3gH5x01F
Raskeria: “Yeah, stay right there. Disintegrate.”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCevZf7aq8
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.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgH3vlsvLW
Louise 2: “That won’t be enough! We need to destroy its core.”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAtqmaLnjS
Jake: “Where is it then!?”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUVpGMfiMN
Louise 2: “It was in its chest but who knows where it will be when it reforms.”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGAJWqCrgP
They look back at Rask and she couldn’t help but rub the back of her head.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlFHPgmkYu
Raskeria: “My bad.”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjm3PcVR7vd
Jake: “Tch, it’s like fighting a machine version of me.”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBKorqfcfQ
Dovahkiin: “FO KRAH DIIN”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDUM0n3rit
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.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8WRb6nsyS
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.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVfjHcgWFR
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.”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vUxQSex04
Raskeria: “What do you mean?”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Nj403hAQl
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.”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHivO7L7Qb
Jake: “…Fine.”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zL5ejOxOo
The other 2 nodded and got into position.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQB2UUYrcE
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.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡph3yygVHGw
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.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WqwGD9Jhj
Louise 2: “You got to be kidding me.”653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNj4opdJKK9
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkaVxdyjwDr
The Ravager started firing at everything below. Raskeria created another shield around everyone to block the heavy bullet fire.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpsWA4CRpe
Raskeria: “Dovahkiin, this is all you. I’ll focus on protecting everyone while you distract it enough to prevent it from firing.”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4rhlQJioq
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.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqOkh7tn6U
Despite Dovah’s best efforts though, Ravager wasn’t that bothered by it’s attacks. That was until Dovah started using more unique shouts.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYftCdNIDS
Dovahkiin: “VEN GAAR NOS!”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFg6VUDXLJb
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.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4edhjB9TU0
Louise 2: “Great, bring it down quick! I can see where the core is! Focus your attacks on its head!”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDatVMxaJB
Raskeria: “I still need to keep the shield on Dovahkiin so I can’t attack.”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5rQrVE1KZ
Louise 2: “That’s a good thing, just focus on support.”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGo9M9Lo5O
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.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnb2havLDFq
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.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMYVrGdjBS
Raskeria: “Was that…magic?”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyiK8V35FY
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.”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesn5TT4nVZ
Dova shrugged it off but still lost some ground. Jake on the other hand was on fire and falling.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6sIOqaqYh8
Jake: ‘Of course, it had to use fire and lightning of all things.’
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosjMxq9BoR
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.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFI0TkQHvKW
It abandoned the dragon and went to delete the living weapon. But before it could, another welcomed surprise appeared. The final and winning variable.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3kwjKTNuu
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.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxLKkshORE
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.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusIUug7139
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.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rO8vZzSsY
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.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDPGkwgZUy
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.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31SYGZWCXx
Louise 2: “I don’t know who you are but if you can understand me, keep it down while I end this.”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFo5KILCA3a
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.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bdWUf7sw9
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.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoi7ICIE0Wx
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.’
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8mvInUJJT
The distance between them became smaller.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAIqOHKvWS
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.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuyMGDy6Oq

Arcs of pink electricity started to form around her.

653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0s485PiaB
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.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazLU797nry
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.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBb9a2JNll
The sonic boom made it into everyone’s ears. Students screamed and even the fighters had to cover their ears as the ground quaked.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAgusWU4bl
The fighters aside from Jake ran up to the aftermath of the attack. Colbert also came running despite Aeterna’s warning.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcfyLxCKOT
Good news, the Ravager now sported a missing head. Bad news, behind the Ravager was a badly damaged Louise 2.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ676yVBTNOp
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.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeilwhSB5P0
Raskeria: “Okay, that looks terrible. But I can fix this.”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9m5W5rICId
She started to create ice to cool her down before applying healing magic. But before she could a voice stopped her.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWy7m2uxNdn
“STOP, YOU’RE GOING TO KILL HER!”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaL36wZAu9D
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.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFxbf90331
Colbert: “Stop, any closer and we’ll consider you an enemy!”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGKQLOMyd7
Raskeria: “I vote enemy, where was he when everything was going wrong?”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIoBze83mF
Louise 2: “B-Bench? I-Is that…y-you?”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gOIhPD0rW
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.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVt4QcesHs
Colbert: “Miss Valliere!”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21a2afToIE
Louise 2: “Please…let Bench…come to me…professor.”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDjJ8JY1rk
Raskeria: “But what about my magic? I can heal you good as new.”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSYzcPPWuZ
Louise 2: “Don’t…I…d-don’t know…what effect it…will h-have.”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLeYAJC8DOZ
Bench: “Listen to her, I know what to do. Trust me, she’s in good hands.”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5x7iBET6T
Raskeria: “…Fine. This whole thing is beyond me anyway.”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWX4nGeQDG
Heeding his words, Raskeria and Colbert moved out of the way. Bench approached Louise 2 and a blue line scanned her entire being.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPuye93tPl
Bench: “You’ve really done it this time Louise.”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uLSdZfSMV
Louise 2: “Why does…it…matter…I destroyed…the Ravager.”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Oc9cOF5El
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.”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKW20Tw0j3t
Raskeria: ‘You mean what I was going to do?’
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FBZqwMfnz
Louise 2: “Then would…this help?”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6NGBUMskX
She asks while letting go of a red orb that was giving a low hum.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw998g3rthv
Bench: “Is that what I think it is?”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQJuDuyD5w
Louise 2: “Y-You bet…it is.”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGc82l7zBw
A blue line passed over the orb from Bench.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZtzqzEmQA
Bench: “I can’t believe it, a Ravager core.”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWod5utvClr
Raskeria: “You mean that’s what we were fighting to destroy? Why is it intact?”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZg15niwiUZ
Bench: “Because this might be the only sure way to save Louise.”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVK6VawCjg
Raskeria: “Magic is out but the core of that monster is okay?”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71hFsYKmoQ
Dovahkiin: “I agree, destroy it.”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnJtYRJp17
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?”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwnQStvceG
Raskeria: “No but I’m keeping my eye on you…and that.”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkGKAjioeq
Bench: “By all means.”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yDE1XyXW0

653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡroEetONImf

653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHz3jjHCE0e
Louise 2: “That’s…good.”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpL1oCwRukf
Louise 2 finally succumbs to her wounds and passes out. Bench looks to Colbert and gives a stern order.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQz1U9e3hfb
Bench: “Take me to where your clinic is, I have a Hunter to repair!”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EQhKj1Sjk
Jake: “Wait a minute!”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg08gSfMGTA
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.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfbMOS4Ozz
Bench: “What are you doing?!”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkf6bWEgjX
Jake: “Just because I helped defeat that thing doesn’t mean we’re allies. I need answers!”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfGeGnMgRu
Raskeria: “Calm down Jake, do you really want to fight everyone here?”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizHEMsFgX2
Jake: “…I’ll do what I have to.”

Colbert: “W-What do you want to know?”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjG70oSqiD
Bench: “We don’t have time for this! Louise will die if Colbert doesn’t show me to the clinic.”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡun259dx1UR
Jake: “I don’t care.”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8FQjFAaaL
Bench: “You-”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdrwSHx7lG
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.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwzKqbgxK8
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.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnWs70Peu2
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.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrpSchatpE
“Can you understand me?”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8euR7F2DeU
Raskeria: ‘A translation spell? Oh, he’s good.’
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Aoyh68E8q
Colbert: “Y-Yes.”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjavAZ4OQtC
“Wonderful, my name is Zander and I’ll take them to the clinic.”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5drdF3KJXV
Colbert: “But how? You don’t know the way.”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7DlFcP7Pv
Zander: “I’ll ask one of the students or the staff. I’m sure they’ll help.”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLRzkql6T1
With a slight twist of his wrist, Louise begins to float off the ground.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPC0qHjLUu
Zander: “Shall we go Bench?”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2GlGjwJ0R
Bench: “Yes, quickly now.”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7pfAv5pnL
They begin to leave but before that Zander gives a sharp glare to Jake.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWguGSUkTF
Zander: “I hope I don’t have to come back here and deal with you Jake. I rather we be friends than enemies.”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9BZtHcmSr
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.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmifZigrLSl
No one said a word until Zander was gone.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSM9h015Lq
Colbert: “Okay, so what do you want to know Jake.”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQiMTErYPO
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…”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ivn1vE4T3
Jake brings his blade a bit closer to Colbert which makes everyone tense up, ready for another fight.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VG4Hn9t5P
Jake: “You will take me back to New York.”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDF97WvWSxa
Colbert: “I’m sorry but…there’s no way back. None that we know of.”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVvNW2QT07
The moment those words left his mouth, he felt the urge to slice off his head.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIVGKzsy0X
No way to get back to New York meant Blackwatch ran free and the only family he has left was in danger.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIel4k2V4U
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.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEeeJcl2h64
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.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvl33wGhuz8
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!”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbt3xrO4tBM
Colbert: “Sir, I’m truly sorry but there is no way to reverse this.”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS06Vi7IQb4
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.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCjDxmjtaj
Raskeria: “There might be a way.”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0tK1pVdfD
Everyone turned toward the girl. Jake’s eyes widened with relief but also slow-cooking anger.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jnC7aDhTF
Jake: “Tell me.”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyBKTiiwDv
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.”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwiHy5rbiqt
Jake: “Then-”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6okHjwFez
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…”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJL3pTcVyWI
Jake: “Or?”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRe72ib3mO
Raskeria: “Learn magic and go yourself.”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyaDNcJU8N
Colbert: “Learn magic?”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35P7qiFyOG
Raskeria: “Yeah, it will be hard but it can be done.”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFN0m9V6Nk
Jake: “…”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyruoZpGg5
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.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zZgVKlkoC
But still, time is of the essence. He can’t be gone for long.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoobAtzNZg9
Jake: “How long would it take for me to learn.”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iJPIyalG8
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.”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZsMxnqA45
Jake: ‘Years!? No, I don’t have that kind of time. I’ll leave that as a backup.’
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ227yfYOpc7
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.”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjFmqI63o4
Raskeria: “Sure, sure. Right now though, I’m tired. I’m going home and telling everyone what happened. See you. ‘gate’.”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdCI3ZA57K
A rip in reality appears behind Raskeria. She yawns and goes through which causes it to close.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2GB872tfa
Jake: ‘Tch, she better make good on our deal. Or I have another person on my list to kill here.’
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVT2fAv4MMK
Jake: *Sigh*
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RooiGjNgK
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.”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPaDFt9EVB5
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.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4DHrOLpHw
Colbert: “Well, you’re the last one. What will you do?”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9XMiO1KBw
Dovahkiin: “Stay for now. Jake’s situation seemed more serious than mine so he can get the gate treatment first. Besides…”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgF6A3QQKsK
Dovahkiin: ‘It’s not all Louise’s fault that I ended up here. Damn that dedric prince.’
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviTUZQMc90
Colbert: “Yes?”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoojhYi7Oo9
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.”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVA4RHaPdLS
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.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYG81ER8xTB
Colbert: “Brimir save us, what has Louise unleashed…”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DsNkoikBB
[Louise’s Room]
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8V2N2bfuYl
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.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSEz5u31md
She gently takes her to the bed and lies her down.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6f1SZ2L8Z
Aeterna: “Already, that power is drawing dangerous things to you.”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjh5YAea2hZ
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.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzaEYtoACe
Aeterna: “Did she really expect me to sleep on that? I guess she was expecting an animal though.”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonDaLK8QvY
She looks down at her body and remembers that she’s still wearing lingerie.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhxyYjdtc7
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.”
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPBv6qjzxE
With that thought, Aeterna leaves the room.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66MFlPZZ7q
…
…
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbP8a5DLk6b
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.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfw3nYaYmrw
‘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.’
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5WFbCUd2n
‘Hehe, I’m getting excited. Sweet dreams Louise.’
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaTGgtyOZ4
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.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMzkcwLugL
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.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBJzYfyg5E
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.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefChTX6svw
Among the clouds and across the forest, more rips threaten to form.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIfiqSTxVH

What do you think? Did you guess who was going to show up? Anyone OOC?
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFn1p2jP73
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.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtTjl8qBoV
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.
653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FHz49LeHk
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.
