《The Warrens》Chapter XXIX

Nico
NICO, HIS MOM AND CALEB went through a series of halls and stairs. They could hear the fight that was happening on Nica and Niche's side, through the communicator.
After a few turns, they reached the control room, where Nica was fighting a guy that was weilding a dagger and Niche was slumped on the wall, unconscious.
Nico ran to where Niche was and checked her vitals.
'Breathing and pulse, just fine.' he thought.
"Guys, we're out!" Nico heard Nis' voice on his earpiece.
"We'll be there." he responded.
He noticed Caleb was already on the other side of Niche. "A stab in the leg and a bump on the head. Other than that, she’s fine."
Nico saw their mother join the fight. He also noticed the red liquid oozing from Nica's side and arm. She was stabbed by the guy.
"Give up Jason, you will never win against me! Against us!" Nica yelled.
"Shut up bitch!" he rerorted.
Suddenly, Mom lunged and kneed him on the stomach. She then flung him to the wall and brought him down to the floor. She placed her foot on his chest. "Nobody, and I mean nobody, calls my daughter a bitch. You son of a bitch!"
She punched him on the face and knocked him out.
"Mom!" Nica hugged her. "Thank you."
"You're welcome, baby girl."
“Although, you’re pretty scary.”
“Not a word Nica.” Nico saw Nica nod.
"So I'm not your baby girl too, mommy?" Niche stood up from where she was. Nico helped her up and together, they went their way towards them.
"I'm glad you're fine too, Niche. And you're both my baby girls, okay?"
There was suddenly a gunshot and Nico heard Caleb yell in pain. He saw him on the floor, clutching his right shoulder. Blood was oozing from it. Not that far from him was Oribel, the big boss.

"Caleb!" Nica yelled. "Orebil!"
"Why? Why are you such a pain in the ass, huh? You Warren Family and your little boyfriend, Nica." he started. "If you didn't meddle, I would've left you alone! Carmen, you would've been a queen! Nica, you and your siblings would've been rulers!"
Nico stopped for a moment, analyzing what Orebil just said. Then it came to him.
"You're in love with my mother!" he blurted.
"The first time I laid my eyes on her. But she chose that George, a mere soldier at that time!"
"You will never stop us, Orebil. I've already put the code. I only have to push the button and this place will blow up all the way to Hades!" Nica yelled.
"You and your antics." he scoffed. "Oh well. I suppose you can blow this place up. I'll just rebuild Libero and this time, we'll succeed. I will bring down this world to its knees. I'll be its king, I will change it. I will change it to my image and ideals."
"You're crazier than Dr. Crazy!" Nico said.
"Shut up!"
Orebi went closer. Nico noticed Nica ready to charge, but their Mom went ahead of her.
"Take Caleb and get out of here. All of you! And maybe that Jason kid too." Mom said and kneed Orebil in the face.
"No! It's my duty! I should be the one who'll finish Orebil! I will end Libero!" Nica yelled and started to struggle against Nico's grip.
"Niche! Do your duty as a big sister and get your siblings out of here! Listen to me, now!" Mom said, still fighting with Orebil.
"But mom!"
"I'm fully aware I'm the reason Jackson turned out like this!"

Jackson?
"That's why I'm taking responsibility!"
"No! Mom!" Nica shouted.
Niche put Nica in a triangle head lock, with her right arm pinned at the side of her head. And Caleb hugged her waist, locking her left arm with it.
"Nica, calm down! Let's just do what Mom said." Niche said.
"Please Nica." Caleb seconded.
"No! It's my burden to carry! Not Mom's! Mom!"
"Kids! Go! Get out of here! All of you!"
Nico felt his pocket and took out a syringe with bright green liquid in it. He didn't know what it was, but he took it from Dr. Crazy's pocket on the way out of the prison downstairs at the south wing.
He injected it to Nica.
"No! Mom! Mommy." Nica's voice quieted down and she fell into unconsciousness
"Now go! I'll bring this place down! And I'll bring Libero and Jackson with me."
With tearful eyes, Nico helped Niche with Jason while Caleb carried Nica by himself. He forgot the fact that he was shot in the shoulder and was generally hurt himself.
The three of them ran out of the facility. Sirens started to blare, and a voice was warning everyone to evacuate the facility.
"Meltdown in T-minus 3minutes." the robotic feminine voice said.
After a series of halls the three of them got out of the facility. And just as they reached where Nis and everybody else was, the research facility exploded, together with Carmen Cortes-Warren and Jackson Orebil.

The Long and Exciting Life of Kreet the Kobold (Life 2)
Kreet was originally a D&D character. Life 1 was essentially her backstory. Life 2 picks up just after the events of the D&D campaign in the Underdark. At first you won't recognize the characters, but bear with it for a couple chapters and the few important points will be revealed. Also I stole a player's character (with his permission!) in the form of Sigmundurr. Also, unlike Life 1, I'll be posting this slowly over time. Right now I'm writing around chapter 20 and I suspect I'm only halfway. Tone may be a little different. ( Cover art by KuroNeko I'm pretty sure!)
8 139Yuusha Isekai! Youjo Suki!
When Elijah, thirty year old civil servant, open lolicon, and anime otaku finds himself in a new world rather than snuggled up to his Flan-chan Dakimakura, whatever will he do? Will his genre savvy and surprisingly unspectacular cheat be able to save the kingdom, and its cute (if dumb) juvenile princess? Or will he go down in a blaze of foolish glory like the ikemen before him?>> This novel is now dead. It will no longer receive updates. [This is a crazy parody novel, by the way. The goal is a good isekai harem story minus the beta JP MC, but adding unique girls that outgrow their stereotypes, whilst making fun of the genre and popular anime and game culture at large.]

8 173Rise of a Scarlet Devil (Regular+Draft Version)
A young girl slain during a war was brought back to life by some unknown force millennia later. She could only remember a vague face within her memories, uncertain as to who it was but there was one thing she did know. She needed to kill that person. But she was too weak, she needed to hide, to grow. She needed to flee from the battlefield her enemy reigns over. And to do so, she needed to run eastward, towards Helios, a safe haven for those who have lost their homes in the war. And where she would grow to become the strongest Hunter under her own strength. What was it that brought her back? Only time will tell. #Author's Note The novel is organized like this:Regular Chapters (Act, Title, Part (ranging from 1 to 9))Draft Chapter DisclaimerDraft Chapters (Entry Number, Perspective, Title, Part (ranging from i to ii)) Regular chapters are edited chapters that reflect the story aspect more while Draft chapters reflect plot progression more. An occasional interactive chapter will appear in the drafts but nowhere in the regular chapters. Expect changes when reading between Regular and Draft chapters as some events in the story may change in length or entirely removed/changed. Only read the draft version if you want a future view and/or opinion on the story and design elements. The main character is a human from a fantasy world reincarnated as a devil. The story possesses Reincarnators, Transmigrators, and Summoned Persons. though mainly focusing on Magic and other abilities such as Aura and Skills. Wizards (those who prepare arcane spells) and Mages (those who use elemental magic) are separate but seen as the same by common inhabitants of the world but clearly defined as different by more influential persons and by the circles themselves. The main character WILL not be a Mage or Wizard but will incorporate mana into her attacks to aid her as does any high-rank combatants. The system in the novel quantifies a person's abilities and keeps record of them but does not define natural ability, occasionally granting special abilities as skills to a person once prerequisites are met. There is no leveling system and no occupational systems in the novel featuring only a stat based and skill based system. Also, this novel is my first and will most likely be trash.
8 200THE TIME MACHINE (Completed)
The Time Machine is a science fiction novel by H. G. Wells, published in 1895 and written as a frame narrative. Wells is generally credited with the popularization of the concept of time travel by using a vehicle that allows an operator to travel purposely and selectively forwards or backward in time. The term "time machine", coined by Wells, is now almost universally used to refer to such a vehicle. The Time Machine has been adapted into three feature films of the same name, as well as two television versions, and a large number of comic book adaptations. It has also indirectly inspired many more works of fiction in many media productions.
8 179World Travelers
Traveling the world sounds like a fascinating adventure. Traveling multiple worlds sound even better. But is it really an adventure if you’re forced to travel? What if a god had control over your existence? What would traveling feel like then? Well, there’s no point in thinking about these things anyways. Choice is only given to the strong. And nobody’s stronger than a god. _____________________________________________ Temporary schedule: Currently on hiatus (6 days of posting, 6 days of resting)
