OG: Chapter 24

As soon as I had the elevator down to the Labs hacked, I jumped in and headed down. My Xipe Totec was reloaded, and I was ready to come out blazing, Iron Hot, ready to zero whatever Cylons I had to in order to get things done. As soon as the doors dinged open, I flattened myself against the wall, grabbing one of the few Frag Grenades off my harness, pulling the pin, and rolling it out of the op...

MM: Chapter 52

The Commercial Flight had been decent, Air Baltic's business class was a surprisingly not-shit trip, though that was likely based entirely on the fact that they had four, and soon to be five, if Ksenia's Archduke was serious about reopening commercial flights to the rest of the world, countries jointly funding it. There was a decent meal and no small amount of drinks as well, though I had to be...

BBG: Chapter 31

As we cut our way into the rear of the group of Calimshite and Zakharan Corsairs that had the Guildhall of Brewers, Whitesmiths, and Coopers blockaded, I lashed out with Aremeg's Fury in two swift strikes. A cut and a thrust that slashed into the back of the neck of one Corsair and thrust through the armpit of a second, killing two, even as Shavariel next to me thrust her trident into the back ...

RM: Interlude: The Battle of Craster's Keep

In the aftermath of the Battle of Baker's Hearth, the Wildlings' forces had been deprived not only of their most disciplined and best-equipped troops but also of a majority of their most experienced and best commanders. Mance Rayder himself had been captured and forced to kneel. In any normal time, that would be that, and the rest of the army would ask for terms while they still had some sembla...

HL: Chapter 28

Jackie'd just gotten back to the Mansion and heated up some leftover Beef Noodle Soup when it happened. A giant wave of rolling Chi damn near knock him on his ass, accompanied by some kinda roar Jackie ain't never heard before. When Jackie'd gotten back to his feet, he looked out into the bay and what he saw was like some shit outta some sorta old Japanese Kaiju film. A giant Half-Turtle, Half-...

OG: Images for Last Chapter

All right, so here we have the Images for the Last Chapter. There were a bunch here and some of them didn't turn out quite the way I wanted them to, but when you're working with Free AI Art Generators on the internet, that will happen. For instance, the SI's new armor covers more than just the bottom of his face.

At any rate, the next chapter will involve the second half of the assault on...

OG: Chapter 23

Laguna Bend had originally been a suburban community. A Corporate Beaverville for the Straphangers who rode the train into Night City every day to do work for the Corps before going home at night and leaving the City behind. That'd been before NC Dam, before the Reservoir. Now, all but the outskirts of town were under water so deep that you needed Scuba Gear just to head down and take a peek a...

F&L: Chapter 49

Greengrass Manor looked different in the summer than it had over the Christmas Holidays. There was a floral scent that seemed to pervade the house, even through the flare-up of smoke from the Floo. A quick Scourgify handled any spots or anything on my clothing, but as soon as I'd finished with that, there was a popping noise and a House Elf in a little waistcoat and jacket arrived, a basket ful...

IS: Interlude: Lyran Update

The Lyran Commonwealth had changed so much in just eight years. In technology, territory, economic ability, and political sway. Katrina Steiner has presided over what seems to be a new Golden Age for the Lyran Commonwealth, and it is in large part thanks to securing a strong alliance with the House of Poniatowski in the Grand Duchy of New Ålborg and the Second Principality of Rasalhague. It wa...

JB: Chapter 14

I landed on the rooftop of the Daily Planet not too long after Superman had taken off for it. He was faster than I was, of course, but it still rankled my pride a bit to see him leaning against the bronze globe with his arms folded across his chest like he'd been waiting for me. Of course, that was the Saiyan part of me rising up to the forefront. The part of me that had previously been human r...

JB: Chapter 13

I sighed at the predicament I found myself in. Hal Jordan, the current Green Lantern of Sector Two-Eight-One-Four, was staring me down and demanding to know why I was here and why I had the ship that I did. Honestly, it figures that the Guardians wouldn't tell their Lanterns outside of the ones on Oa at the moment. Why trumpet the fact that a local planetary police force did your job for you? I...

JB: Images for Chapter Twelve

Here we have the images for Chapter Twelve. Most of it is the Lucky Lady, but some of it is Rugulo's new, Post-Bounty Hunter, Physique, and one of it is Karn, who will be showing up again in a year as he set course for Earth after surviving Dodoria's Assault on his team at Aegri Somnia Five. Really, Dodoria is kind of bad at ensuring that Saiyans are dead when he kills them. He pulled this shit...

NT: Interlude: Mercenary Rumble I

Sie Kensou couldn't figure out how he'd gotten himself into this situation. Sure, he'd been sent away from the Arena to help Kusanagi's Teammates track down the Kidnapped Girl so she couldn't be used as a backup source of power for the Yamata-No-Orochi, but he had expected maybe a few Yakuza grunts that Chris had hired for the kidnapping, nothing more, as opponents. While that'd been part of it...

EV: Chapter 22

The battle in orbit opened with a clash of fightercraft as clouds of Ptah-class Fighters slammed into each other in the space between fleets, mixing together in a titanic dogfight that saw hundreds of fighters on each side gunning for their opposite numbers. Fortunately, I had drilled my Jaffa Pilots using not only the flash-training headsets I had gained from Lord Yu, but also on simulators of...

RM: Interlude: The Battle of Pebbleton

It had begun as these things often did among the Ironborn, with a naval clash. Two mighty fleets faced each other off the coast of the Small Town of Pebbleton, the seat of House Merlyn, on the southeastern coast of Great Wyk. Pebbleton was not a large town. Only some twelve thousand Ironborn called it home, most of whom were involved in the business of catching, salting, or pickling fish. It wa...

OG: Chapter 22

I'd reported back to Suzie Q at Lizzie's first, telling her that not only wouldn't she have to worry about the Animals anymore, but that she also would probably feel pressure from the Tyger Claws start to slack off. I did that largely over the Net, calling her on an encrypted frequency. After all, there'd been a bunch of Gangoons that'd been Zeroed today. Coming so hot off the heels of the show...

MM: Chapter 51

A week after dealing with Hunter Brawn and Legault, I had finally gotten around to gathering up the requisite reagents for a Spirit Quest. They would be difficult to get my hands on, given how old a spirit I was attempting to contact. I was, however, able to source the specific late Pleistocene herbs from someone who knew how to slip in and out of the Savage Land past the UN Quarantine, the Mut...

BBG: Images For Chapter Thirty

Here we have the images for this last chapter. Some of them aren't exactly how I'd like them, but that's the risk you take with AI Image Generators. As it is, things are mostly all right, even if I would have preferred that Eðlafang not be on his hind legs, or the Scimitar be less jagged-looking along the edge. They're still ninety percent correct, anyway.

At any rate, the next chapter ...

BBG: Chapter 30

The Commercial Docks of Heartharbor were on fire as we were jolted out of our beds to the sounds of battle from outside. We tooled up as swiftly as we dared, trusting in the fact that the Hammerdown was docked in the Military Harbor to save us from being attacked while donning our equipment. Fair dues to the Guard, it seemed to be a good decision, largely thanks to the fact that the Ha...

HPLN: Chapter 53

I sat on my throne as I waited for Pinnes, the Dardanian Ambassador. The throne was a thing of beauty, made of marble inlayed with silver and gold on the back in the shape of a double-headed eagle, with cushions of sea silk dyed with Carmine and Saffron dyes. The ends of the Armrests of my throne were worked in the shape of Molossian Hounds, with two Blood Red Sard Stones for eyes of the leftmo...

HL: Chapter 27

Jackie frowned as he concentrated. Dragon Chi had the opposite kinda problem from Heaven Chi. Dragon Chi was almost too willing to jump to your command. While Heaven Chi don't wanna do what you tell it to, Dragon Chi wanted to be used. You hadta watch yourself when working with Dragon Chi so you don't overdo it. The past couple times Jackie'd tried to use the Qirin's Glorious Coat, the Dragon C...

WAB: Chapter 4

I had, almost as soon as Kiba and I had split up, immediately ducked into an alleyway. I was willing to bet that Castle Troops would be coming out of the Castle Grounds momentarily to search for us, and I needed the cover of the alleyway to flash through a quartet of hand seals, beginning and ending in the Tiger Seal. As I felt the Meisaigakure no Jutsu (Hiding With Camouflage Technique) take h...
