《Rise of Toki》Chapter 2: Lose
Advertisement
For the few days, Toki had been trying to find prey to gain 'exp' and skills.
Toki found a cruvy snake sithering near a pile of rubble. She slowly got behind the small snake who was in the middle of swallowing a bug, and used bite on it's tail!
The snake was alerted and tried to worm out from Toki's jaw but failed! Toki stomped her foot on the snake to hold it down and tried to bite the middle of the snake's body!
Toki tried to tear the snake's guts out despite the digusting taste but she had to win!
Soon the snake stopped struggling and laid out the ground unmoving.
Success! Toki continued to digged into it's body to find a gem and again, success!
Toki swallowed the gem and gained new skills: Constriction (unavailable to species)
"What! I can't use this!"
While she can't use the skill, she leveled up to 5!
Toki is level 5! Toki can now evolve from Baby Quin Tortoise to Quin Tortoise Youngling!
Now commencing evolution.
Toki began glowing dimmly and grew slightly taller, her stats increased, and new skills opened!
Toki was amazed by this new change that she had to tell Cheri.
But once she made a turn by the pile of rubble, she saw a few strange creatures taking Cheri!
***
"Hah! Look, there is one!" Said one skinny man. "But where's the others?"
Toki took cover under the rubble and used hide. Her limbs and head retracted into her shell and listened to the huge monsters. But...
"Help! Help! Big sister! Big sister!" Cheri screamed in fear! She was so small that she was carried between the skinny man's two fingers.
To the skinny man, Cheri was making crying noises. He couldn't understand what's she's saying.

The other creatures searched and searched throughtout the ruins but they couldn't find Toki or any other tortoises like them.
"Shit. That's the only one." The old man gumbled.
Cheri cried and yelled out Toki's name over and over, but to no avail. She didn't show up.
Then the men and Cheri went into the forest.
It wasn't until night that Toki began to get out of her shell and stared into the darkness of the forest.
"I'm sorry. I'm sorry." Toki pleaded for forgiveness but now she's alone.
NO! Toki shook her tears away and started walking towards the forest.
I'm good sister! I'm good sister!
Toki tried to muster all the courage she can and marched forward, forward, and forward.
She wants to get her sister back and ... apologize.

But all is not as it seems in the Enclave or in the Project, and threats wait outside - from the armies of John Seid's America Eterna in the east, to their far-off allies the Invictan Empire, to the mysterious Aliens who have taken up residence in the sky and will speak only to Ifterra Project.

Post War Rules
Life on Torus Terminal is usually fast paced, but simple. A frontier Terminal has little room for easy living, but the great, circular station does boast shopping and culinary experiences from many Imperial races and cultures. Any star is, by its nature, extremely far from its neighbors. But laser highways, and the great shimmering sails of the light-rider spaceships make the trip into only about ten years. Still, the denizens of Torus Terminal eagerly await the day when the Anti-Euclidean Engine their station is built around finally comes online. Once that is done, they will have unfettered access to the entire Empire. Instantaneous travel and trade across hundreds of stars. Torus Terminal does boast one other oddity: a creature which calls itself Human. As he says, the last of his kind for now. He has made quite the life for himself on Torus Terminal, especially in the darker corners of the station. The elites of Torus Terminal praise his name, for once he took up arms, crime began to fall. What they did not realize was that was because he had claimed the seedy underbelly of Torus Terminal for himself and his own goals. The elites praise him as a paragon of law. The criminals fear him as a ruthlessly clever crime boss. Those closest to him, know him as the General. This story was originally posted on the Humanity Fuck Yeah subreddit, where it evolved from a simple play on a historical figure in a science fiction setting into a full blown space opera. I kind of took it as an opportunity to explore a setting I've had rolling around in my head for years. I also decided that it would be nice to have it in a place where I could more easily come back and edit it later, so I'm reposting it here. Here's a link to the original posting if you're interested: https://www.reddit.com/r/HFY/comments/e9cwpl/post_war_rules/ If my genre and tagging is subpar, let me know. I'm still new to Royal Road and I'm open to help. Feel free to comment and make suggestions, or discuss. I love comments, and so long as we keep things civil I also love criticism.

His Trophy | Jerome Valeska
"Oh and Jim, Jim Gordon?" Jerome peered into the camera as if to yell out to an audience: "I have Rory here," he turned the camera towards Jim's daughter and revealed to the audience a girl that had been beaten and tormented, she was gaged and her eyes didn't look at the camera but above the lens; at Jerome who was holding the camera."Say hi to Daddy, doll face," he jeered from behind the camera. She looked down the lens and shook her head as if to tell Jim not to try. The camera went back to Jerome."She's a beauty isn't she, Jimbo," Jerome smirked into the camera, his laughter becoming harsh and wild: "and she's all mine, you try anything, and I mean anything, I kill her. She's my prisoner, my reward, and you're not taking her away from me Jimmy boy, on no, not this time" his words were spoken through waves of laughter.***Rory Gordan is the stepdaughter of Jim Gordon. Her mother moved a lot so Rory was born in Gotham City but raised in England and from the age of 10 she had been bouncing from one country to another with her mother. However, when she turned 17 she had grown tired of the constant change of moving and decided to move to America. It was when she was visiting her long term boyfriend when her life got flipped upside down, not only did she meet one of the craziest boys on the planet, but she discovered that she had a gift that would curse her forever. This story is a collection of scenes rather than a flowing plot, so its chronological but it skips scenes and jumps back and forth between different perspectives. The story is under editing, so it'll get more cohesive over time.••• I do not own any characters or plot lines from the tv show. However, all original characters like Rory do belong to me.Total Word Count [33,674]
