《A Mailman as a Superhero》51. The Chase continues...
Advertisement
Northern New York State.
Bobby and Jolene had to fly higher to keep track of the target.
At this point, they could only track it on the map. It had picked up speed about a minute ago.
Bobby added the F35 pilot to the party.
Commander Bennington saw a mini-map popup on his mental HUD. There was a fast-moving dot flying in his direction.
Michael Benning shared the target information with the rest of his squadron.
"Here we go my fine young bucks. Contact in 30 seconds." He got himself ready for another fight.
This morning they mixed it up with a bunch of terrorist yahoos over Greenland and boy was that a surprise.
He got a few good abilities from that one. The Body Adept was amazing. It pushed your physicals to the human maximum of 50. Hell, every single person around the attack perimeter for about a hundred miles got that one for free.
He also picked up Flight level Alpha and Life Support Force Field Gamma Level. That just made sense to him.
When he got back to the Assault ship he checked with the rest of his squadron and they all picked up some type of flight ability.
The rest of the abilities were a mix and match of Telekinesis, Plasma projection or other types of energy projection abilities.
The less aggressive pilots got regeneration, spatial awareness or some kind of a sensor package.
He didn't want to water down his flight ability. Instead of going for quantity he min-maxed and chose quality.
"Alright, everyone the boggie is in stealth mode. No missile fire. Use your guns only." Commander Benning didn't think that there was anything man-sized that could survive the GUA-22 Gatling four-barrel 25 mm gun.
The only thing he was worried about were civilian casualties. They were lucky that this was rural Northern NY state. Lots of fighting room, true but this was still fighting over American soil.

"Hawk you have the Sensor ability. I want you to go first." Hawk acknowledged the order.
"You got it Skip." Hawk replied.
"Everyone try to shoot where he's shooting or if you see something or by some miracle, you can detect something do your best." Michael Benning heard Hawk begin his attack run.
"Guns. Guns. Guns!” Hawk began the attack.
'Good Luck to all of us!’ Michael thought as he followed after Hawk.
Strike Leader F'ouh POV
F'ouh detected the primitive fighters before they were in the range of firing their weapons.
She decided to change direction and head south towards the large cities that the local Xerys System recommended.
The primitive war machines used by the barbarians were surprisingly fast. They were also able to track her.
She suspected that someone was still on her tail. She couldn't detect them, but she was sure that the Omega level class individual she managed to evade was responsible.
'Looks like they are about to attack.' she smiled at their audacity. 'Bring it.' she thought.
The first flying machine began its attack run followed by the rest of the primitive war machines.
The insane rain of 25 mm streamed at her with at over 3000 kinetic slugs a minute.
Her power armor's force field held but the kinetic energy transfer punished her slim form. She was slammed into the ground until the first fighter passed.
Before she could recover she was hit again by the second fighter. 'I need to move now! Another pass and they will breach the force field.' she evaded the next fighter and began to evade the rest of the primitive yet highly dangerous fighters.
'Had this Alvear kin been using modern ammunition they would have had me.' she decided then and there that these warriors were worthy.

She started to run on the ground. She relied on her training to evade and her speed to see her through. Behind her, a plume of snow marked her passage.
The fighters were quick to take advantage. They harassed her at every turn.
'I need to thin out their numbers. If I don't I will not survive this encounter.'
The next fighter that got in range of her plasma cannon was blasted out of the sky. She saw the pilot eject and instead of falling down he was hovering over the crash site.
She used her suit's AI to intercept their communications.
*Who was that Hawk?*
*It's Remi Skip. He doesn't look too bad. He's just hovering over his ride.*
*Shit just got serious boys and girls. Time to get professional on its ass. Light her up!*
'Oh No, You Don't!'
No one's lighting this girl's ass. Whatever that was it didn't sound good. She decided to cut and run as fast as she could. She sent a mini-missile spread their way.
'Time to see what Alpha level speed feels like.' F'ouh ran as fast as she could. Behind her three more explosions lit up the sky.
She didn't need to look back the power armor could track that for her. She would analyze the recording later.
*Take it out! I don't care if you need to fire your entire spread.*
*I don't think we can catch her Skip. Its hit, Mach 3 and still accelerating. We can't match that.* Hawk was still able to track the boggie with his sensor ability, but he knew that soon it would be out if range.
*God Damn it! Jones! Anderson! Try to keep up. I want a direction. Don't like this sonova bitch!*
F'ouh saw three more figures eject from the fighters and one of them gave chase. 'Oh great! Another Alpha! How many Alphas are in this world. And why are they all after me?'
She didn't care. She found a straight stretch of road and pored on the speed. She left the primitive fighters behind and the only one left was the Alpha Flyer.
He was on his own. She could handle a single flyer in her sleep.
Low Earth Orbit.
Pierre saw the fight. His sensor ability was powerful enough to keep track of the fast-moving individuals.
He kept tracking the alien and he also kept an eye on the lone Alpha ability pilot that was still trying to track the target.
'I hope they let us in on this soon. I have a feeling that if we don't catch this one, it will be bringing in lots of trouble.'
Pierre stayed above the speeding pair. He would not lose them.

My class [Death Knight] is just barely legal...
Ever since meeting his uncle, Arthur has pushed himself daily to achieve an arbitrary goal. He trained like nobody else did, longer than anybody else could. He neglected his personal relationships to pursue something he didn't even understand, in hindsight. When the time came for his class awakening ritual, he was ready. He was ready to receive a powerful starting class and to break free from his boring lifestyle. Well, you know what they say, "Be careful what you wish for, lest your wish be granted." Arthur was assigned the death knight class, which is just barely, technically, maybe legal. With it, he learns about what drove him to such simple minded ambition in the first place: his affinity. Now, he's faced with a dilemma: will he embrace it, or reject it? 'My class [Death Knight] is just barely legal' is a laid back story with occasional tension, that describes Arthur, a young man, exploring the world, the system and his own mental health as he pursues his ambitions. This story is the first serious fiction I ever wrote, so while criticism is definitely welcomed, keep it polite. I'm going to rewrite the first few chapters at some point, since they're not as good as my later ones, but I'm focusing on my current chapters first. I don't have time to do both yet, since I'm also in the middle of my exams. What to expect from this story: -Litrpg elements -A chaotic good aligned protagonist (that starts off as a neutral good protagonist) -(Hopefully) interesting characters. What not to expect from this story: -Grimdark elements -Harem -An enslaved protagonist. (I mention this due to the background of the mc's class) Release schedule: 1 chapter every other day, 2pm European time (14:00) Join the discord here: https://discord.gg/YHZFB4HMHD

The Demon of Shadows (Hiatus)
Spartans. Genetically modified supersoldiers who participated in the spartan program, which aimed to reinforce and compensate for the humans capability of emotion in order to create the ideal supersoldier. The program itself resulting in the implantation of a limiter for a certain individual, which acted in limiting that persons emotions. Replacing it with a cold logical based calculative mindscape. The limiter aimed to support the ideal supersoldier in completing the objectives assigned to them. Be it mass slaughter, or assasination. One such man who had volunteered to participate in the program to provide data in return for a large sum of money to save a precious friend, has his life lost in battle after years of service and mindless violence. Death, however, was something he usually gave, not to receive. So when death comes to take his life, he awaits in silence, only to be dumbfounded at what is to happen next. This is the story of Nicholas Gray, the Shadow Demon. Note: Story is based on other LitRPGs found on the site such as Dante's Immortality, Necromancer and Co, etc. and on Halo for the majority of the first chapter and possibly later on down the road, I only borrowed things such as the armour and weapons used in the game itself and all credit goes to them for that kind of stuff. I will also perhaps use it to explain his backstroy to further character progression if I can. The cover photo was also a picture I found on the internet and if you wish for credit or for me to take it down just say so and i'll do it as fast as possible. I also don't have a set schedule, and this is just being used to improve my grammar and just as a hobby, nothing more. I will also appreciate feedback in regards to grammar, style, and story in general as this is the first time I have created a story apart from at school, hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoy writing it!

The Wu Clan's Rise: Legends of the twin dragons
The Immortal Domain is a vast cosmos consisting of the Upper Realm and the Lower Realms, both of which are controlled by the Three Great Families, the Wang family, the Lui family, and the Xue family. Each one of them holds an immense amount of power that could overturn the heavens, reverse yin and yang and change the fate of anyone or anything in the Immortal Domain as they see fit. But, with all of that being said, our story doesn't start from those ancient overpowered families in the Upper Realm, it starts from one of the countless fragmented Lower Realms, called the Wither Daemon Realm, in which there was a planet named Daiyu. On this planet, heavenly prodigies that were born with one of the thirty, rare Legendary Physiques were starting to pop up like common weeds. Longwei, born into the Wu Clan while in possession of the third rank Legendary Physique, was known as one of the six monster-level geniuses on planet Daiyu. His brother Longmin on the other hand, though was a genius in his own right, had faded into obscurity since his birth and was shunned by his own father after a certain ‘incident’. This story is the supposed legends of two dragons, who, through a journey of bloodshed and betrayal led their clan to unify the Immortal Domain and stand above trillions as the highest existence. ******* If you lovely readers can't be bothered to use your eyes, you can join my Patreon and get to stream my audio chapters like everyone else. https://www.patreon.com/TSETH Discord: https://discord.gg/tEdkhmrj5g
