Warning!! Intense cruelty from techno this chapter. Read at your own risk!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Techno PoV
Girl: ‘PLEASE!! SAVE ME’
Before any of us could replay six figures dropped down and landed inside the cloud of dust.
As it cleared up we saw what it was. Unlike the girl who was stark naked except for her fur which covered her body these creatures were different.
First off they were clothed with armor made from what looked to be armadillo shells in a fashion that made scaled armor. Second was that they were Lizard men, no it was different. These creatures could be compared to them but they weren’t ones. They had lizard like bodies but around the edge of the eye brows and on the head were horns and on their back ran down spiked spins. Closing behind all of them were big wings that propelled them all here. If i had to say they were closer to the Draconian race.
Seeing the six figures the girl hid behind both of me.
The one who seem to be the leader walked up. He was about 10 cm bigger and had rougher scales and red scales while the others had green.
Leader: ‘Hand over that little bitch slave at once and leave!’
He said that with arrogance from someone who has lived in a high position and looks down on others.
It quickly pissed me off because it reminded me of “her”. My frown could now show on my face and it did so on both of them.
Bulk: ‘What do you want with her.’
Leader: ‘Silence you insolent whelp. I will not speak with mongrels just return that bitch and we shall let you all leave alive.’
Nova: ‘NO! You won’t take the cute kitty away. You’re all bad guys!’
In seconds the protector had its guns armed and primed to shoot at all six. They wouldn’t last against that onslaught. The armor wasn’t complete and had many openings which I’m sure she would aim for using her rifles while the miniguns distract them.
Leader: ‘Hehe...HAHAHAHA!! A little brat like you shouldn’t play with big guns.’
On his last world he turned to Nova and opened his mouth. It began to release fire from his mouth like a dragon. Just as the fire starts to come out they all don’t notice the hulking robot that ran too quickly to react and did a spin before lifting the right leg and connecting right into his mouth breaking all the spiked lizard teeth and causing his head to lurch back and throwing him to the ground.
The next moment the sound of unsheathing swords were heard. Everyone looked at the source and saw my Asura body armed with its six blades.
Techno: ‘Judgment for attacking my sister. Guilty! Penalty! Death!’
I said that in a robotic monotone voice but my rage was clearly shown. The six draconian tried to run and turned around while spreading their wings but each of them head their backs turned.

None of them saw the robot approach and stab five of the swords through the midsection of their tails and pin it to the ground.
I let go of the swords and one by one i stomp on them pushing the sword deeper down and into the ground forcing them to sit back or rip their own tails to escape.
I picked up the leader by the head. He was unconscious but i woke him up quickly after kneeing him in between his legs.
He was awake but had no strength to reach. It seems i crippled him or just injured him to much that he still can’t move yet.
I changed the two front arms into the rifles and stuck it to the heads of two draconian and shot them through the head. I removed the swords from their tails and then stuck in through the chest next two. The last one i put a grenade down his throat and killed him from the inside. With these five killed while the leader watched the lizard was sweating. I removed all my swords from the remains and sheathed them.
I grabbed the draconian by the shirt and began dragging him.
Techno: ”Come everyone. Bring the girl as well.”
We returned in silence to the ship. I then ordered to remove the hooks but leave everything else since we were going to return.
The ship was unhitched and it took off.
I began flying around the whale and soon we were out over the sky flying next to the whale.
I then left the lizard take him to the back.
Techno: ‘Punishment for attacking my sister. Slow, painful death.’
I simply let him go and he fell down and soon vanished into the clouds.
You killed in self-defense.
Warning. If you kill using cruelty of such levels again penalties will be dealt.”
I aim the ship back over the whale and we return to the base area and hook up again.
With the ship back safely i call everyone. There was a deadly silence on the ship.
Techno: ”Ask her what happened?”
Bulk: *breaths deep* ‘Ok then. Um miss, can you please tell us who you are and what's going on?’
The girl was pale and trembling while hugging Nova.
Girl: ‘I have no name. We only get names when we reach adulthood.’
Ena: ‘So how do your people call you?’
Girl: ‘We just call one another by getting close and call out.’
Nova: ‘Then we should call her Greer like that cool super woman that looks like her.’
The boys all looked from one another before we all started to laugh.
Bulk: ‘Oi Techno she even reads Marvel comics.’
Techno: ”She is really attached to me and read most of the stuff i did. I had a downloaded collection so she had access. She knows them better than me.”
Victor: ‘Damn she would be a girl any nerd would love when she grows up. To know more about comic book hero’s then a boy this i just too good. Also don’t point that minigun at my face. I wouldn’t dare try to go after her since she is still a kid and because i know what you would do to me.’

Bulk: ‘Siscon.’
Bam
A nicely planted punch connected to bulks face before a heavy foot landed on it and started to grind it into the wooden floor.
Techno: ”Let's forget about this and go back to talking about the girl”
The girl was hiding even more behind Nova. Nova was grinning and then after hugging the girl she began gently petting her head and scratching near her ear and chin. It took the girl by surprise just she soon made a smile and her tail started to gently wave. A small smile appeared on her face.
Techno: ”Nova please stop or we won’t learn why she was running.”
Nova: ‘K bro.’
She stopped and the girl looked sad while sitting with expectant eyes.
Bulk : ‘If you answer quickly we can let her pet you more.’
The girl’s eyes lit up and the previous fear was gone.
Brock: ‘What were those things and why were you running?’
Greer: ‘They are Draconians. They appeared some months ago and began fighting our tribe. We have lived peacefully here since ancient times. When the Draconian appeared they began killing the old and enslaving the young. They consider us more like animals and want the young for pets.’
In moments we were all pissed off.
Greer: ‘There are about 40 of our previous 400 remaining. I was out hunting for some small bits of food when they attacked me.’
My gears were rattling and the steam was pumping faster. A low whistle was sounding from all our pipes.
Victor: ‘Do you know where they are living.’
The girl nods and stands up. She walks to the front of the ship and we follow her.
She looks around then then points towards the front of the whale.
Greer: ‘At the front of the great land.’
We all look out towards the space.
Techno: ‘Get ready.’
I say that and i turn around before walking inside with Yasha while Asura began to load some of the weapons on to the deck of the ship.
The robot clockwork put several weapons on the top deck and get ready to use.
We unhitch the ship and leave the plateau with some weapons defending it.
We take the ship and head over the location Greer pointed at.
We were going to make sure they learn their place.
Greer PoV
Wow... that big six arm guy is scary strong. And really scary.
Now he and this tiny group want to fight an entire race to get by my tribe.
We are flying over the forest.
Even from far away we can already see the iron walls that the draconian built from the great ones minerals.
I wonder how they would break it down.
As we drew close i saw a lot of figures appear in the sky.
Nova: 'HEY BRO THEY ARE COMING!!'
I looked back at the girl who was sitting on the strange robot.
Nova: '...Okay~~! Hehehe get working all of you.'
I was wondering that happen but then i notice a change in the other robots.
The short man came out and set up a weapon on the middle of the deck.
I noticed that the ship was turning at an angle and the robots are arming the weapons.
I then heard a sound from below and i put my head out and looked at the side of the strange boat.
Being pushed out were large metal barrels. Three of them.
Nova: ‘Ehehehe let’s get all those kitties back!’
As one all the robots fired. I had to cover my ears because the sound from the noise of all the shooting was too much.
I forced myself to stand and look out only to become wide eyed.
From the dozens of draconian flying around a good number was falling injured. Those in the back had some magic circles floating under them as they cast their spells.
I look back on the ship just in time to see the robots setting up a strange tube that was aimed upwards.
They dropped a fist sized black ball inside and then connected two hoses from an opening on their side to the tube.
After a moment steam began to appear from a few pipes as pressure built and then it happened. They pressed a button and with massive pressure the ball was shot far into the air.
I followed the ball with my eyes and i saw it approach the draconian that were preparing magic.
Just as it got over them it exploded.
BOOOOOOMM
A moment later i felt a shockwave come from the explosion. It hit me and left me weak for a moment. When i looked back i saw all the draconian falling. Some didn’t have wings anymore, some were missing arms, other legs. Some were even missing half their bodies.
I then saw the two fire elementals fly out. They shot out torrents of flames at the draconian which was a match for the dragonkin’s own breath. The difference was when they were attacked with the same attack in turn.
Instead of being hurt they absorbed the fire before it even reached the ship. They ate it all with greed for more fire. No matter how many attacked with fire, it was absorbed by the two beings.
This crew is made of monsters. The leader which seems to be both demon like robots, a rhino robot monster, three elementals, a dwarf and the scariest girl who is the one controlling all these lesser robots. They are all monsters, with technology surpassing their opponents. They mercilessly attack destroying all of them without breaking a sweat.
Greer: This is just like the boss said. Real monsters.

Wet world wonderland.
A young girl of 16 years dies by drowning, and is reincarnated as a living Puddle of Water.Through many fantastical fun filled and wacky adventures our Protagonist will lead a better life than her last.Thank you for your time. Something I want to add, is that this story is written in first person, and I plan to carry on with it for a LONG time.-(Maybe thousands of chapters in size, until the story literally runs out of any potential to keep going.) So yes, there's still a lot of mystery and build up I have planned for future adventures. Wet World Wonderland is a story primarily concerned with the depth and complexity of its world and characters. So forgive me if something seems off, or isn't made immediately clear. I would love to talk, but try and consider that I might have something planned.(Not that you can't still criticize, of course. If you've got an opinion on something, I'd love to hear it.) If you plan on rating WWW, please read until chapter 20. WWW isn't the kind of story you can start judging from the first five chapters. Although, I admit I'm not so sure if 20 chapters in is good enough to judge it either, but I would still advise reading to at least that point. Also, if you have a problem with something in the story, please PM me, and I would love to talk about it. As of 1/19/2021 I have just added WWW's (Wet World Wonderland's) New Cover-Art. I know it's a bit weird, and probably sudden. And with all things considered, it may never make sense. But canonically with lore and info that has, or will be revealed in coming chapters, you might be able to put something together. Anyways, I hope you like it. Also, new symbol, at the top left of the image, hope you all like that too.As of 5/16/2022 the revised cover art for WWW has been uploaded, same as before with the first cover art. I hope you like it. Cover Art Credit goes to Itreallyisyaboi. They're on Instragram.

Letters from a Dying World
Times historic are often penned after the fact in the lifeblood of the pitiful, forgotten masses. That roiling, uncountable crush of humanity, they who held the pikes and they who threw down the tyrants. Their veins opened by gazes academic, sharp and cruel, and pecked away at with quills, written out of their own story. The Second Dark Crusade was a time of such poignancy. A time when the light of man waned and flickered, choking in the acrid smoke of its own inadequacy. As befitting of such an age it has been covered more than a capital whore, and so I attempt not to tell that story again. That story of dull, unfeeling analysis. Neither here will you find the browbeating, propagandistic screeds so common in the hands of men, the light of youth still burning behind their eyes. Nay, here I shall attempt to cover fresh ground, not tread on the grave dirt of long dead authors. Here I shall attempt to tell the story of the small lives caught, unbeknownst to them, in the great and torrential downpour that we now call history. Here lies the true story of The Second Crusade. - Loremaster Ip'Qal
