《Peacekeepers (COMPLETE)》24
Advertisement
My legs suddenly move on their own. "Hey! Quit it!" I try balancing with them, but I eventually fall over next to an
old man on a bench with his radio, *Bolt-Yes! Finally got the hang of it! I know where Tango is!* I quickly get up, "Who is this?" I hop up and down, *I'm part of you, trust me.* I stare off as they stop jumping. "Fine." "Can you go away? You're creepin' me out."
I don't say a word and just back up with my hands up before hopping around. After running down the street, the legs suddenly yanks to the left. "Hey! Can you warn me or something?!" A voice enters my head, "Left." I look down and then ahead.
"Good, just guide me, buddies." I run down through the crowds, "Don't you need a charge?" The legs spring me up over a car coming out the alley, I stamp down into running again. "The internet has been useful in learning- Short answer is no."
I smile, "See? You're learning already. Can anyone else hear you?" "No, you're crazy." "Right." I scrape to a stop and
twist to keep going. "What of Glad and Fox?" "Peacekeeper claimed they're dead, but I don't think that's the case.
Slow down and stay quiet." "How'll I talk to you?" I scrape to a stop and the legs slowly tip toe around. "I can see, hear and feel through you." What should I call you? "Legs simply won't do. Call me Switch." We make it over to a door.
"She's down there, Nick." I take in a deep breath. "Time to keep my promise." I open the door and slowly close it as two men walk towards a box, "You think the grandmaster made the right move?" "Nah, princess doesn't know anything." Switch brings me close enough to take both of them. I need them alone. "I'll send them a radio call." *J! Get down here!*

J groans and walks down. "Bitch'll be the death of me." "Sure hope not." I sneak up from behind J's friend and snap his neck up, then drag him back. "What uniform is that Nick?" I grabbed his gun, No logos, a new mercenary group?
We stand up and creep down a ramp. Switch sighs, "Don't be an imbecile!" I grin, "Don't be a baby."
I turn the corner, "M?" Switch zooms me up to him in less that a second as I stab him. I cover his mouth and lower him to the ground. "Door's locked from the inside." Can you drop kick me in there? Switch steps back as I cock the gun.
Switch runs and jumps as I lean back. Switch extends, slamming the door inward. "What the-" The woman reaches for her gun as I hit the
ground. I raise mine and shoot her in the knee, forcing her to sprawl out on the floor. Tango looks away from me, "Don't look at me."
After knocking that woman out, I make it to Tango. I sigh while cutting her free. She hugs me and groans, "Water." I
lay her down and get a bottle. "You look different." I smile, "How so?" "You have a constant smile on your face." I sit her up and had her drink. She looks up, "Your face is fucked up." I grin, "Whoa! Potty mouth."
She giggles then coughs. "First masochist convention?" She groans, "I'm guessing that's a yes." Switch stings me,
"Peacekeeper thinks you're going awol." "Shit, can you request for an ambulance?" She coughs, "I can barely walk."
"Sure Nick." We carry her upstairs and out the door. After laying her down and handing her a gun, I go back down. "Wait! What're you?" I shrug, "I'm going to get some answers." I shut the door behind us.

Breakout: What Did I Get Myself Into?
The world is normal, and I mean completely run of the mill. People do boring things all the time, like controlling wind, moving at mach speeds and becoming able to demolish a building in one punch after eating. What...that's not normal to you? This is a world where the abnormal happens every day, thanks to super powered mutants called "Pathos". Enter: Capital City: An infrastructure with constructed on the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Japan, the basis for a school system of which the goal was to educate the Pathos on controlling their power in a safe place while also protecting those without power from being harmed. If you graduate, you could even rule the City one day! ...Or you could just take advantage of the free student housing and perfect the art of being a shut-in... Join Reito Usodachi, a lax and jaded, but surprisingly strong 15 year old boy who's in way over his head, on his adventures in Capital City... The only problem is, he may falter a bit when he gets a grasp of how weird the people in the City actually are. Even though he's read his fair share of media and the like, no amount of reading Manga or playing games could've prepared him for this. Amateur writer here! Trying my best on my first Original English Light Novel! (On a short hiatus!)

Stories Of Indlu
“… to grow, for opportunity, for adventure, to be free. Join the colony ship Nao Vittoria. Be the first to live amongst the stars.” It was obvious from the literature that the NextStar corporation wanted the young, the adventurous and the brilliant. So why were the super rich fighting over seats? Why were AI’s trying to stow away? Did this signify a premature end to human/AI civilisation? Why had some questions directed to NextStar been aggressively sidelined? Why did the colonist inflight entertainment trial produce fatalities? In fact, why colonists at all? Those and many other questions, however, boiled down to a single central question. Why was the world’s most advanced AI dumped with a hundred year babysitting job for 50 million people speeding towards an uninhabitable planet? It made such little sense. The only sure way to get answers, catch a ride on the Nao Vittoria and play the inflight entertainment game, Pax Domini. I joined, and this is my story. Well, I feature. OK, I’m more of a spectator. Actually, I’m completely irrelevant I was just there. I’m only the storyteller. But what a story to tell. --------- Hi All, Content will be published weekly usually Saturday and typical posts will be 25oo to 4ooo words per post. Though for some reason the Royal Road word count does not include the content of tables so some posts may not appear to meet this criteria. Currently I have written sufficient unedited content to keep this schedule for the next 12 months (half way through the first story arc). My current productivity would indicate that I can maintain this schedule for well into the second story arch. This also allows for the additional content that will be posed exclusively on Patreon (https://www.patreon.com/StoriesOfIndlu). This additional content follows minor characters, peripheral events, maps and other content that does not take away from the main story. I would love to accelerate the post schedule but to meet this I need the assistance of more beta readers than I currently have. So please let me know if you are interested. - Andy ©2022 Andy Leauter.
