《Bounty Cats》Book One: Chapter 13
Advertisement
Rei reached the rooftop and spotted a blue hovercar lifting off. As the only vehicle leaving, Rei assumed Gonzo was operating it. Perhaps it was his car, or he somehow hacked one customer's ride. Either way, she has to stop him.
Rei rushed toward Luna's car and aimed the remote toward it. The car beeped, and the doors clicked.
Rei sat on the driver’s side and stared at the yoke. She flew a hovercar before, but not an interceptor. Hopefully, Luna was still conscious. Luna! Luna! Are you okay!?
I'm fine! Are you on his tail? Luna asked.
I need the password for your car!
Shit! 525086!
Gamsahabnida! Rei typed in the password on the keypad and pushed enter. Then the hovercar roared to life.
"Ye!!!" With a smile, Rei pulled the lever down, levitating the car off the parking lot.
She turned the flying vehicle toward nearby air traffic where she spotted the blue hovercar blasting off toward.
"Time to catch that sucker!" Rei pushed her foot on the acceleration pedal and blasted toward the traffic.
She cut past a taxi and flew forward about one mile behind the blue vehicle. Since the traffic was flying forward along with her speed, she won’t worry about dodging a bunch of cars flying toward her. But she still has to catch up toward her target fast.
After flying past five cars, she reached behind the blue car.
An ambulance is coming to pick me up! Luna informed. Are you still on his tail?
I am approaching him now. Rei answered. He is flying through-
A laser blast bounced off the interceptor's windshield from the blue car. Gonzo's gun stuck out from his driver’s side, aiming at Rei.
"Ileon sesang-e!" Rei cried.
What is happening? Luna asked.
That jabjong is shooting at me! Rei turned, dodging another shot.

Don't sweat it. My ride is laser proof. It also has two laser cannons at the front. Push the red button behind the gear.
Rei looked down and pushed the button. On the hood, two cannons popped up, aiming forward.
Rei smiled her catty grin. "Neomu siwonhada!"
Now there is a gun trigger handle below the radio. Luna explained. Squeeze it to shoot.
Gwaenchanh-a! Rei leaned forward a bit to reach the trigger. While keeping her right hand on the yoke, she fired the cannons.
They sprayed fast-moving balls of red beams toward the blue car, like machine guns. Luna's idea of equipping guns to her vehicle was brilliant!
The bummer and the red lights behind the blue car exploded a bit, and then the car sped to the right.
Rei stopped behind the beams, hit a garbage truck in front of her.
Remember not to kill him! Luna ordered. Make him crash somewhere safely.
I understand. Rei need not question Luna why she wanted Gonzo alive. Sure, killing him would be easy, but sometimes the reward could be higher if the suspect was alive. Rei wanted a good payment so she could go shopping and visit the new places in the city.
In the next lane, Rei reached behind Gonzo and fired. She hoped to hit his thrusters to force him to land, but he zigzags past three vehicles ahead.
What a pain! Rei turned out of the land and sped up forward.
This time, she approached Gonzo's car on his left side, following his speed.
She rolled down the window as the rushing breeze blew into her hair. Then she pulled up her gun and aimed it at the hyena. "Hey! Pullover!"
When Gonzo glared at her, Rei fired, breaking his passenger's window into pieces. He yelped and ducked.

"Pullover!" Rei shouted again. "Or I will-"
Before her eyes, the hyena flashed and disappeared, leaving his blue car to crash into a hover freight truck.
Rei lowered her gun and scratched her head. Jegil! Where did he-
An arm reached around her neck from behind and squeezed her. She choked as the arm held her hard against the seat.
"You should have given me a lap dance, bitch!" Gonzo's voice shouted, and he placed the butt of his gun on Rei's temple. "Say goodbye!"
No! I don't want to die! Rei kicked her foot on a pedal, thinking it was the brakes.
Instead, the interceptor dropped, making Gonzo fall onto the front.
After catching her breath, Rei steered the car to avoid the vehicles passing below. She could barely see while the hyena laid in front of her.
She pushed the pedal again, directing the car to speed forward. After Gonzo rolled off and landed on her lap, Rei could see she was flying over the ground. It was a wide street, full of pedestrians strolling across the pathway. Just another Underbelly area without the vendors.
When Gonzo rose, Rei pointed her gun at his head while keeping her right hand on the yoke. "Don't move-"
The hyena vanished again and reappeared on the passenger's seat. He swung a punch into her face and knocked the gun from her hand.
While Rei's vision spun, Gonzo crawled onto her lap and squeezed her throat. His claws slowly entered her flesh.
"I do enjoy killing," Gonzo whispered. "But since you owned me a dance, I'm going to enjoy this instead."
He squeezed her right breast, forcing her to moan. Rei screamed instead of giving him the satisfaction.
"You hangmun!" Rei turned the yoke while holding two buttons on the handles.
The interceptor turned upside down, and Gonzo fell to the ceiling. Rei remained on her seat since she remembered to always stay buckle up when you are about to chase a criminal.
At the end of the street, Rei spotted a billboard hanging on a wall behind the crowd. Not only it has an image of a walrus eating a can of tuna. She was flying straight towards it.
"Ttong!" Rei turned the car so its bottom faced the ground, and she slammed her foot on the brake pedal.
The interceptor abruptly stopped, very close toward the billboard.
Rei sighed, relief she didn't crash Luna's car. If she did, her partner would send her straight to hell.
"Thank haneunim….." Before Rei could relax, she noticed Gonzo wasn't inside the car! Her heart instantly dropped. "Sseulegi!"
On her left, she spotted him running into an alleyway close by. It looked like Rei would need to run on foot to catch that creep.

Can he come to bear the loss of loved ones? Fate flings various questions and, most important of all, why did he reincarnate? Disclaimer: This story is about a modern man ill-equipped for his time in ancient India. The story delves into the realm of believability instead of wish fulfilment, with a healthy dose of supernatural elements, so no, overpowered MC. The picture is of a placeholder and does not belong to me. If I become rich or the readers donate to it, I would replace the picture. Author note: If you find errors, let me know.

They Are Our Smols
You’ve read They Are Smol. You’ve enjoyed They Are Smol (if you haven’t, well, prepare to not enjoy this one either). But this is smols like you’ve not seen them before. This is extreme smolness with a lemon twist: smols fucked up big time in this one, and Earth, well… Earth is empty of smols. At least the ayys hope so, because it’s fallout time back there. The ones that got away — and let’s face it, it was all of them that were left — had no place to go. Homeless, smol and needing protectings, they were taken in. For the lucky ayys out there, they’re our smols. This is a not-so-serious slice of life alternate universe where the entire population of Earth, what was left after the dead man’s switch was flipped and the nukes successfully irradiated the planet, were evacuated en masse and then taken in by the galactic civilization at large. I’ll probably write a few more in this silly, comfy alternate timeline to expand on what’s different, but don’t take it too seriously, okay? I do not take credit for the original setting, this story is set in an alternate version of the 'They are Smol' universe, written by the one, the only u/tinyprancinghorse.TPH takes many forms and is known by many names. He is like Nyarlathotep, only smaller and cuter and more prancey. TPH also has a Website and a Patreon.
