A Bad Dream

A Bad Dream It was nearly midnight when Natalie woke from her slumber. The room was saved from pitch blackness by the dim light that filtered through the dark curtains. She propped herself up on one arm before she looked down at her bed partner, a slender machka she'd met earlier that night in a bar. He had gray tabby fur, black hair, and fluffy black tufts on the end of his ears that she'd teased after he was too exhausted to continue her preferred activities. She was tempted to wake him up to see if he was ready to go again, but decided against it and instead quietly slipped out of bed to exercise a little in hopes of becoming tired again. She didn't bother dressing while she did her routine, clothes just got in the way anyway. The indigo-haired mercenary stretched every muscle and joint in her body to ensure she could maintain her cat-like flexibility and grace. Natalie was about halfway through her squats when a voice made her stop cold. "I never thought I'd get a chance to see

Snowfall Redux

Snowfall Another day, another one-sided fight Icicle had to make look good for the crowd of thousands.  When she passed through the entry gate, the deafening roar of the crowd filled the air as the king of Alzakam announced her presence.  She didn’t pay any attention to the king, however.  Her icy blue eyes were trained on the arena’s south entry gate, where her opponent came from.  The king announced his name and the crime he’d committed to wind up in the arena in the first place; a few people in the crowd booed the other fighter. He was a tall, stoutly built Alza man, probably an ex-soldier or something of the kind.  He c

Armored Girl

Armored Girl She crouched and flexed her back muscles, making her shoulder blades stick out slightly.  The rear panels that protected the overboost thrusters flipped open and she listened to the crescendo of her overboost charging up.  She took a deep breath as the inertia and high Gs generated by her overboost hit her in the chest and stomach.  She smiled then rotated quickly as her overboost shut down.  She breathed a sigh of relief as a grenade hit the ground and exploded behind her, making a crater in the arena’s metal floor. She looked up at Wonder Raid.  Wonder Raid smiled evilly at her and sent a hail of armored piercing rounds

Naomi's Memory

Naomi, as many times before, hung unconscious from the straps in her cockpit.  A soft groan escaped her lips as she slowly came around.  When her eyes fluttered open, what saw before her brought her great dismay; her machine was totalled beyond repair.  She unhooked herself from her restraints and curled up in her seat.  After a few moments she hugged her legs to her chest and began to cry.  She wasn't crying over the loss of her beloved mechanical companion, no, she was crying over someone even more important she'd lost, someone who she thought she'd forgotten a long time ago. After what felt like hours of crying, Naomi uncoiled herself and

A Typical Day

A Typical Day Mercer High School on a Monday morning was a decidedly quiet place, everyone still had to recover from partying all weekend.  Most students were unhappy about the return to classes, but some took it in stride.  Razlyn Patterson and her friend, Elisa Tanner, stood near one corner of a T-intersection in the hall.  The neon-haired teen glanced over her shoulder from time to time and eventually stuck her foot into the path of a pink-haired girl with goggles on her forehead.  She fiddled with a neon blue holographic display that hovered about her left wrist while she walked and, Raz hoped anyway, that she didn’t see her black

The Night

The Night Four hours had passed since the attack; for the most part, I was alone.  I passed groups of the dead and dying and even small groups of mutants.  It had been a fairly long walk for me to travel from where the lab and shelter were to the residential district.  The homes and apartment buildings had been hit harder than I'd thought at first, most of them were just collapsed into their basement and those that had survived were either unstable-looking or on fire. I felt myself growing tired as I moved, so I paused near a wrecked car.  All the windows were broken and the tires had burst, but the frame looked okay.  Sitting down to catch

Splinters

Splinters Elm Grove Primary’s tech lab was a mess of broken metal, mortar, and brick.  The marble floor tiles had been crushed under the weight of the roof.  A number of students and staff had been injured as well.  All was the fault of the organization known as Them.  Several operatives had attacked the school in a successful attempt to capture an 8th generation Steel.  The young hedgehog called Korie had been taken during the attack as well, her status was unknown. Julie-Su lay on her back, her Steel locked between emergency shutdown and critical damage.  It was unable to be shut down and would have to either be repaired or destroyed
