Tech: ‘The hell is happening…to me…’
179Please respect copyright.PENANAgyqZil5fPF
179Please respect copyright.PENANAnrX4aLo7ww
Ever since yesterday, Tech felt weak and closer to death than he’s ever felt. The nanobathes and other healing procedures are only slowing whatever is happening.
179Please respect copyright.PENANAhLD8bGvKxw
179Please respect copyright.PENANAJjoGeYo1iL
The lack of sleep is only making things worse. Doesn’t sound scientific but he felt that if he did fall asleep, he wouldn’t wake up.
179Please respect copyright.PENANAzZtojxIDPS
179Please respect copyright.PENANA3LHeHbcqFf
So Tech is using all of his energy to try and isolate the cause of his condition. But his mind is getting weaker by the minute and the act of keying commands is putting further strain on his body.
179Please respect copyright.PENANAAyJbAxYqcf
179Please respect copyright.PENANAly7RV0xAHL
Tech: ‘This…is…not…how I’ll…go out.’
179Please respect copyright.PENANAm0ejohxh5W
179Please respect copyright.PENANAHwdmu3AY3P
Before succumbing to whatever is happening, he hits a red button on his keyboard. The last thing he hears before blacking out is the emergency alarm and the activation of one of his latest creations.
179Please respect copyright.PENANAee5yUucuuM
179Please respect copyright.PENANAb8LnM8wyZk
Dove hasn’t had a good rest like this in a very long time. Tech might be a bit weird when it came to his tastes in design but he delivered on her room. The bed was like sleeping on a cloud.
179Please respect copyright.PENANAVCxGlUfoLe
179Please respect copyright.PENANAumILgNu1lz
So when the alarm slammed into her ears, she was tempted to ignore it. But her battle instincts and the feeling of dread demanded her to get up.
179Please respect copyright.PENANAbalmjxXi9U
179Please respect copyright.PENANAQWqeq9WKph
Dove: “What is happening? Why is everything red?”
179Please respect copyright.PENANAQkqIvysZN8
179Please respect copyright.PENANAEArFGdOOET
Her door suddenly opened and she was ready to blow the intruder away. That was until she recognized it as one of Tech’s flying golems. But it was what it said that made her tense.
179Please respect copyright.PENANAdjnAlMWMnq
179Please respect copyright.PENANAk0k9choqoO
“EMERGENCY. CREATOR IN CRITICAL CONDITION. ASSISTANCE REQUIRED.”
179Please respect copyright.PENANAz3hiPnhjah
179Please respect copyright.PENANAol1Kzcbr00
Dove: “Take me to him!”
179Please respect copyright.PENANAuejK7FM0DQ
179Please respect copyright.PENANAw2bwsxuOCe
No more words were needed, the golem flew toward where Tech was. Dove easily kept up and subconsciously prepared the best healing spell she had.
179Please respect copyright.PENANAyd4GzzBp6j
179Please respect copyright.PENANAjDvykA6GJu
Dove: ‘Screw your beliefs on magic, I’m not letting you die Tech.’
179Please respect copyright.PENANAJiu8mFkzGt
179Please respect copyright.PENANAmaBtfjnz5o
It didn’t take long to get to Tech’s room. The sight wasn’t good. Tech was faced down on the ground, pale, barely breathing and the steel plates on him was glowing red.
179Please respect copyright.PENANATaFTBMaFeE
179Please respect copyright.PENANAp3mLGNTch3
Not wasting time, Dove turned him over and used Healing Hands on his body. Every 10 seconds she would switch to Heal Other to deliver a more powerful burst of healing before returning to Healing Hands.
179Please respect copyright.PENANAj5qUTaai2Y
179Please respect copyright.PENANAWjezbnfzQ9
A warm golden light enveloped his body but…it wasn’t working well. It was like whatever was affecting him was fighting against her magic. Only magic could fight against magic like this.
179Please respect copyright.PENANAajG8MxtYha
179Please respect copyright.PENANASYhye4JdvP
Dove: ‘But who? No, that’s not important right now.’
179Please respect copyright.PENANAGcDhPPVU3G
179Please respect copyright.PENANAx7FhdBzbJb
Dove turns to the floating golem before giving her orders.
179Please respect copyright.PENANAdUCcZtUH9D
179Please respect copyright.PENANAuQko8eZzIV
Dove: “Golem I-
179Please respect copyright.PENANAETc3EuUZzU
179Please respect copyright.PENANApGcHmb7bsY
Doctor: “THIS UNIT IS CALLED DOCTOR.”
179Please respect copyright.PENANAyxqLYgN2i2
179Please respect copyright.PENANAs7551ghD9K
Dove: “Doctor, I need to stay with Tech and continue healing him. But I don’t have infinite magicka and the spell affecting him is powerful. I need you to get Flamma or Zander here now!”
179Please respect copyright.PENANA3PD3cWr4Ou
179Please respect copyright.PENANAEik6L7bBVM
Doctor: “ACKNOWLEDGED.”
179Please respect copyright.PENANALB5Br2woIu
179Please respect copyright.PENANAatuommAYs8
With that, the flying golem left to get the needed assistance.
179Please respect copyright.PENANAV6birUfOnE
179Please respect copyright.PENANAgqu7m71Jls
Dove: “Hold on Tech, help is coming.”
179Please respect copyright.PENANAs3XUsrDeaM
179Please respect copyright.PENANAXqSz3Ztcgv
Flamma: ‘You know, maybe I should have took the bed…’
179Please respect copyright.PENANALEo994oTqS
179Please respect copyright.PENANAZwvOTr6X2Z
She may be a dragon goddesses but sleeping on hay is never pleasant. She hasn’t even had a chance to spread her wings so the soreness was especially bad.
179Please respect copyright.PENANA98UF6RJLLR
179Please respect copyright.PENANA2VcfdRWKG5
But that discomfort left when she noticed something. Louise was up and looking at the rising sun with an unreadable expression.
179Please respect copyright.PENANAxI0F5ow5a6
179Please respect copyright.PENANAN4EQRJmc7K
Flamma: “Louise, are you alright?”
179Please respect copyright.PENANAkQYNH4Oaz9
179Please respect copyright.PENANAHyGbzZU4i8
A slight nervous jump, one she tried to cover but Flamma caught it.
179Please respect copyright.PENANAbp0joaVZJ8
179Please respect copyright.PENANADf2LIiov86
Louise: “Of course, it was just what we spoke about yesterday. It’s still a lot to take in.”
179Please respect copyright.PENANAbibA4vncs2
179Please respect copyright.PENANA50lf5BxjsY
Flamma: ‘I only told her about how I was worshiped by some civilizations once, long ago. Nothing about the champions I blessed or how they betrayed me. Or how this world seems so similar to my own or her own hidden power. Her mind shouldn’t have been blown that hard.’
179Please respect copyright.PENANAxC9RNbkL9X
179Please respect copyright.PENANAkfeP56jSjt
Flamma: “Are you sure? I’m here for you, you know.”
179Please respect copyright.PENANAScuaoeWh2a
179Please respect copyright.PENANAs0LUSzqZ0h
That only made Louise slightly frown.
179Please respect copyright.PENANAxGephmebzU
179Please respect copyright.PENANAKLZXubJR6u
Louise: “I know.”
179Please respect copyright.PENANARbYTndxjMV
179Please respect copyright.PENANAZwTZDDOpBN
An awkward silence filled room. Flamma wanted to say something but her tongue was tied. Something was wrong but she couldn’t tell what. But some hope slipped in when Louise decided to break the silence.
179Please respect copyright.PENANAqDkk0blA5P
179Please respect copyright.PENANAhFaAicQGEe
Louise: “T-Today is the day of void, a free day. We could-”
179Please respect copyright.PENANA0lY97q4QEy
179Please respect copyright.PENANAwoaDxMQ3mX
Before she could finish, a flying golem crashed through the window, sending glass everywhere. Faster than Louise could react, Flamma was in front of her in case any glass hit her.
179Please respect copyright.PENANAwbhcysGtpM
179Please respect copyright.PENANAg2jzr46zh1
Flamma: “The hell!”
179Please respect copyright.PENANAxQXkhWjLA7
179Please respect copyright.PENANAvL85blIBKk
Doctor: ““EMERGENCY. CREATOR IN CRITICAL CONDITION. ASSISTANCE REQUESTED BY ALLY DOVE.”
179Please respect copyright.PENANANnqzVe9OGX
179Please respect copyright.PENANAyOVpHEtfM8
Flamma: “Tech…”
179Please respect copyright.PENANA5LeELpYDci
179Please respect copyright.PENANA4p2AAgixpU
Flamma immediately let go of Louise, went to the window and prepared to stretch out her wings for a soft landing. But first…
179Please respect copyright.PENANAwGsVQfTNQz
179Please respect copyright.PENANAQGzoM13oiR
Flamma: “Louise, don’t tell Siesta. I wouldn’t want her to worry herself to death. I’ll make sure Tech is alright. But just in case, find Zander.”
179Please respect copyright.PENANAMb1FbXiXqn
179Please respect copyright.PENANAk2KlOR2HfC
Doctor: “THIS UNIT WILL ACCOMPLISH THAT TASK.”
179Please respect copyright.PENANA29YOHJfmsu
179Please respect copyright.PENANA3uJzwm0blz
It says before flying out the window in search of Zander.
179Please respect copyright.PENANApvllrxf1mf
179Please respect copyright.PENANA8l2qKhCyVJ
Flamma: “Oh…well…just don’t tell Siesta then. Darn it, just when we need Raskreia. I’m sure she has some healing spells.”
179Please respect copyright.PENANATJ6GZq6jXK
179Please respect copyright.PENANAFDbX9iW4HU
With that, Flamma jumped out the window, aiming for Tech’s base. Unbeknownst to her though, the shadows of Louise’s room were moving.
179Please respect copyright.PENANAhN5TnaLL91
179Please respect copyright.PENANAflVNcMQ9pb
Aeron: “He’s still alive? Impressive.”
179Please respect copyright.PENANAAdfkaFx1aW
179Please respect copyright.PENANAD0gFLZYDse
Louise spun around to see Aeron in the shadows.
179Please respect copyright.PENANAieW1HMfVP8
179Please respect copyright.PENANABspxjoHg85
Louise: “You did this!?”
179Please respect copyright.PENANAgoTvoCAXI5
179Please respect copyright.PENANAU2BYqSUgIn
Aeron: “I wanted to surprise Siesta with Tech’s reanimated corpse but it seems I underestimated his ability to stay alive. But it seems he will die soon enough. Good idea by the way.”
179Please respect copyright.PENANACvo1YcQQKs
179Please respect copyright.PENANAt6KU5kMjMx
Louise: “Huh?”
179Please respect copyright.PENANAuWtX0TDThl
179Please respect copyright.PENANA3AfHD6Fy5N
Aeron: “This free day offers us a good chance. I’m even surprised that you were going to suggest the same thing.”
179Please respect copyright.PENANAe6mbedYXtb
179Please respect copyright.PENANAWyFF7cj2Tg
Louise: “What do you mean?”
179Please respect copyright.PENANAinFrsNjsqh
179Please respect copyright.PENANArsOGZGCbXK
Aeron: “Don’t plan innocent. You were planning on learning more about Flamma for your future battle with her. Gathering information is important when fighting someone superior.”
179Please respect copyright.PENANAXzsGwJgaBX
179Please respect copyright.PENANATIn5c20niN
Louise: “That’s-”
179Please respect copyright.PENANAkWKgg6W0JA
179Please respect copyright.PENANAW3fFoCIJhZ
Aeron: “Good call. Do that while I teach Siesta. Then when you get back, I’ll do the same for you. But be warned, my methods of teaching aren’t for the weak willed.”
179Please respect copyright.PENANA42t1borIvQ
179Please respect copyright.PENANAGg9XZ0XfWZ
With that, Aeron faded into the shadows, leaving Louise in the fog of indecision.
179Please respect copyright.PENANAzGyM2jOfYn
179Please respect copyright.PENANAF4eVcsDKB4
She didn’t want to get up from her bed. Deep down, she could feel that today would be another test of her heart.
179Please respect copyright.PENANAr6CH35CPmL
179Please respect copyright.PENANA3sdHQYySwF
He knew something would eventually happen. This was suppose to be a vacation of sorts but the wheels of fate continue to mess with him.
179Please respect copyright.PENANA3VIkrWYZRU
179Please respect copyright.PENANAeNLGkBBf0I
Zander could feel it in his bones. Something was happening in this world and who ever attacked Tech was just the first sign.
179Please respect copyright.PENANAALjDfjfnpj
179Please respect copyright.PENANAT0kKQ3jkh1
He spent most of the night in the library alongside Colbert, learning more about the magic of this world. He even decided to sleep there, a much better option than in Kirche’s bed.
179Please respect copyright.PENANA3wq5U6JE1L
179Please respect copyright.PENANABS6RUuHcvJ
The morning was peaceful until one of Tech’s golems found him and told him the news. He teleported outside Tech’s home and Flamma led him inside.
179Please respect copyright.PENANASbXFDDxBm2
179Please respect copyright.PENANAA5FDd1gscr
When they got inside, they found Dove healing a pale Tech but she was sweating bullets. She won’t last long like that…
179Please respect copyright.PENANAGosj63ByOu
179Please respect copyright.PENANAiWlARjOkiQ
Dove: “Please tell me one of you can use healing magic.”
179Please respect copyright.PENANAGvFXNCBTuT
179Please respect copyright.PENANAMEtIv1d13s
Flamma: “…Sorry, I don’t.”
179Please respect copyright.PENANALbF8VoBBRG
179Please respect copyright.PENANAr3uM4Jxp7u
Zander: “No, but I know alchemy. Whether this place has the materials to make something for healing is up in the air. But looking at him, I don’t think we have time.”
179Please respect copyright.PENANArDsWg5U7hP
179Please respect copyright.PENANAMspyIAyUhN
Doctor: “AGREED. ALLY FLAMMA AND ALLEY ZANDER SHOULD PRIORITIZE HELPING CREATOR TO THE NANOBATH WHILE ALLY DOVE CONTINUES TO HEAL HIM.”
179Please respect copyright.PENANAzP0Irfn2S3
179Please respect copyright.PENANAPbiuK7cYZ7
With no more words needed, Zander and Flamma helped Tech to the Nanobathes while Dove used the remaining energy she has to keep Tech alive.
179Please respect copyright.PENANA5WAs7LBprU
179Please respect copyright.PENANA0TXX0UkFhg
Doctor led the group to the nanobath and directed them on how to place Tech inside. Afterwards, Dove fell to her knees.
179Please respect copyright.PENANAuh9frwhvMg
179Please respect copyright.PENANAk2FMd3EvBa
Flamma: “Dove, are you alright!?”
179Please respect copyright.PENANAgxVa4EpoKy
179Please respect copyright.PENANABqcUqROVus
Dove: “Just tired. But I have feeling that this won’t be enough to save Tech.”
179Please respect copyright.PENANAytQgwkUvx4
179Please respect copyright.PENANA7M4Tyy7UGP
Doctor: “NEGATIVE. AN UNKNOWN ENERGY SIGNATURE HAS INFECTED CREATOR. NANOBATH WILL KEEP HIM STABLE BUT UNCONSCIOUS. IF INFECTION IS NOT REMOVED THEN CREATOR WILL CEASE FUNCTIONING.”
179Please respect copyright.PENANAVoWD2vfQWH
179Please respect copyright.PENANARMsJQYFIZB
Flamma: “Damn it! When I get my hands on the bastard who did this…”
179Please respect copyright.PENANA2XgkvjoC3Q
179Please respect copyright.PENANA9wLVSDi3Eb
The whites of her eyes briefly darken while her teeth sharpen, ready to tear into the one who harmed her new friend.
179Please respect copyright.PENANAv0sQyGBOut
179Please respect copyright.PENANALoEYL38hXQ
Zander: “But we must first heal Tech. Then we can find the one responsible. I’ll return to my own world and see if I can’t find something.”
179Please respect copyright.PENANAs8DOeETyAm
179Please respect copyright.PENANATftgtQJbTJ
Zander raises his hand to open a portal home but…nothing happened. His eyes widen at his inability to bend space-time to his will.
179Please respect copyright.PENANAfDRISXdEF6
179Please respect copyright.PENANAmUznUyO1DQ
Flamma: “Zander?”
179Please respect copyright.PENANApQXVA6XmUR
179Please respect copyright.PENANAbtNIqh1R2y
Zander: “Impossible…even the gods couldn’t…”
179Please respect copyright.PENANArKFzxnNS2y
179Please respect copyright.PENANAmvw9nsZJ7x
Suddenly, he felt a pair of feminine but otherworldly eyes on his back. Zander spun around and nearly blasted everything to kingdom come. But he quickly realized nothing was there.
179Please respect copyright.PENANAWJUfYF81O2
179Please respect copyright.PENANAQjvWWsaHDF
Zander: “Just my luck…”
179Please respect copyright.PENANAMi07ZxPSTW
179Please respect copyright.PENANA0fcJr8B6ni
Dove: “What’s happening?”
179Please respect copyright.PENANA89jNJHqnUW
179Please respect copyright.PENANATmwvT2bKLC
Zander: “I don’t know, but someone, something, locked down this dimension. At least to me anyway. No more teleporting home.”
179Please respect copyright.PENANAsasKlr2Di6
179Please respect copyright.PENANABl1zBSBHXL
Zander ignored the sore feeling of not being able to see the priestesses again and focused on the immediate issue. Whatever is behind this clearly means them harm. They’ll need everything they have to survive this.
179Please respect copyright.PENANAcc0FU0sC4A
179Please respect copyright.PENANAOl68dkaomJ
Dove: “There goes summoning any of the Dragons I know or conjuration magic. It’s not like this is place is close to oblivion or something.”
179Please respect copyright.PENANAAWqAtS100Q
179Please respect copyright.PENANA8ovGhXzJic
Flamma: “But if this world is locked down, what will happen to Raskreia?”
179Please respect copyright.PENANAsisfmCuyDK
179Please respect copyright.PENANAWzxnDBHTLP
Silence.
179Please respect copyright.PENANA8mUhzMGh0F
179Please respect copyright.PENANAU4uOHotwpT
A pitch black emptiness.
179Please respect copyright.PENANAVRNZhL2sS0
179Please respect copyright.PENANAj7egn5mWOC
That’s what she wakes up to. It was suppose to be a simple plane hopping adventure. But as soon as she stepped through her portal, darkness took her.
179Please respect copyright.PENANAUFn6O0pLfr
179Please respect copyright.PENANAcCsK7oBoe8
But even as she regain consciousness, darkness still had her. But that’s not what really frighten her, it was the fact she can’t use gate anymore.
179Please respect copyright.PENANAM3tLyQGA2V
179Please respect copyright.PENANAX51393K9PI
Where was she?
179Please respect copyright.PENANAkkrhkJurW7
179Please respect copyright.PENANAwnZSLylPp3
This was no plane she was familiar with.
179Please respect copyright.PENANAWDPTBb1aA7
179Please respect copyright.PENANAKSmr3CbF3p
Raskreia: “Haha…this must be some kind of joke. I-”
179Please respect copyright.PENANAuF1MdS3KtW
…
179Please respect copyright.PENANAv2M9wLTSbT
Raskreia: “What?”
179Please respect copyright.PENANAq3vheh8xWq
…179Please respect copyright.PENANA8WgKFn5MUg
179Please respect copyright.PENANAC40ICNXa4C
Raskreia: “W-Who-”
179Please respect copyright.PENANARadDCWAyLQ
179Please respect copyright.PENANAhCSwFGM8IQ
Bad…
179Please respect copyright.PENANAg1JKOnACye
179Please respect copyright.PENANAiwzmpCg6fo
Raskreia: “!”
179Please respect copyright.PENANAgyengZKJ0a
179Please respect copyright.PENANAeues7GiYyE
Girl…
179Please respect copyright.PENANAHjl4vgZwhA
179Please respect copyright.PENANADyeY8j8VhU
Everywhere. Softly at first but every moment increasingly louder.
179Please respect copyright.PENANAwCXLi3QbLu
179Please respect copyright.PENANABhhFpVA9Iv
Bad Girl.
179Please respect copyright.PENANAi09iRvWBN3
179Please respect copyright.PENANAdbT9THvkz7
Over and over and over and over and over again. Hammering her head until it was the only thing she could hear.
179Please respect copyright.PENANAYdxmebAlYV
179Please respect copyright.PENANAP3a9GEQVIC
Raskreia: “Shut up!!”
179Please respect copyright.PENANAnqK0gxwVRe
179Please respect copyright.PENANA0cnYQk5QmO
She unleashed all the magic she could in all directions. That is…she was suppose to.
179Please respect copyright.PENANAwzag9tx8BB
179Please respect copyright.PENANAuBcu1DmdBQ
Any magic she unleashed was quickly smothered and eaten by the surrounding void.
179Please respect copyright.PENANAiQPwtrYycS
179Please respect copyright.PENANAElV1KnI7CY
Now there was another sound echoing in her skull.
179Please respect copyright.PENANAFhyHx77MNY
179Please respect copyright.PENANAysRQcMMIVm
Hollow like us.
179Please respect copyright.PENANAMe8kYhTzbr
179Please respect copyright.PENANAp4dClY1lZF
Looking down she can see her body disappearing into the dark. Inch by inch, she was being swallowed. She could kick and scream, but nothing would save her. No one would hear her scream.
179Please respect copyright.PENANA3KNMU9x8rp
179Please respect copyright.PENANAcJU6YqfO11
And if they have their way, no on will remember her either.
179Please respect copyright.PENANAgGpVlFnThP
179Please respect copyright.PENANAfXooVs581A
Raskreia: “WHY!”
179Please respect copyright.PENANAT9PXrmHJZw
179Please respect copyright.PENANAcwM1aJRVcR
Silence is her answer.
179Please respect copyright.PENANAPsYsMTLe5P
179Please respect copyright.PENANA7Dek4RKYcZ
Or so, they would have liked. But a bright light appeared behind her and quickly after, a hand ripped her from the now screaming darkness.
179Please respect copyright.PENANADef8ZGlaTw
179Please respect copyright.PENANAmmgezQ5vo8
The next thing Raskreia knew, she was in a lush green forest. In what world, she didn’t care. She could feel relief. She checked her body to make sure nothing was missing before turning to her savior.
179Please respect copyright.PENANAd5CdFaAWfg
179Please respect copyright.PENANAy5P5Dt7E48
He was a human but the power coming off of him was unlike anything she has felt. His face worn and torn from what seems like several eternities. He wore an old tattered blue robe with white patterns adoring its surface.
179Please respect copyright.PENANALnkVAOb8X6
179Please respect copyright.PENANAYd2hiahFXb
Raskreia: “Thank you but…who are you?”
179Please respect copyright.PENANARiSPm5bvl1
179Please respect copyright.PENANAr5wmN4Ivl9
“My name Jace Beleren, the last planeswalker.”
