《Vyndra Stories》Chaos
Advertisement
Sarah's last memory before waking up surrounded by dust and dizzy.
It was a terrifying roar, and the teachers using their gift to protect the children from the collapse of the building.
Looking around, she noticed that some creatures did their thing to protect the people inside the building. But unfortunately, it did not end with the collapse since she could hear the sound of people screaming and impacts echoing through her body despite the distance.
She remembered her companions; she saw them not far away; they were also somewhat stunned. The best thing to do now was to meet them and find another safe place.
She got up and went to them, while Lessar also spoke to her.
"Are you ... okay?" Lessar asked, who could speak more naturally.
- how are the rest?
- They are ... well, nothing happened to them ...
She met with them, and they tried to discuss what to do when a group of people approached the place from outside. They thought they were coming to help.
But they started attacking the teachers.
"What's going on?" Aiden said, clearly confused.
At that moment, that roar was heard from the sky. Sarah unconsciously looked up; what she saw was a humanoid being fighting against various Betas. They could barely contain it, It was ridiculous. Those gifted were supposed to be elites.
"We have to get out of here," Adolf yelled as he kept close to Yuan.
"They're taking some kids," Aiden told Sarah, "we have to stop them."
She looked at him stunned, did she think they could do something against adults?
- No ... we can't, and we have to escape, don't be ridiculous.
- But…
- The older ones ... can slow them down a bit. Some are even winning ... - interrupted Adolf
- We cannot compare ourselves with them.- I was too aware that they were barely 11 years old and how much they lacked.- Lessar, we will wait a moment, when I order it, we will all leave here if the Segaras surround us.
-Yes.
"Yes ... if necessary ... Bronk will cut off those who get in the way ... can he do it?" He asked Aiden, who looked at his creature, understanding what he meant. He nodded.
"Yuan can push them too…" Adolf commented as he searched for courage in his own words.
She continued to observe the surroundings; he could see how other children his age ventured to fight. It is not that I do not understand what they felt. By their expressions, some moved to want to be like those protagonists of those famous stories and the fantasies they generate. Either they just kept up, or they acted out of panic.

She was always very aware of her person, of what she could and could not do. When her parents understood this, from how unexpectedly she knew she was for her age, they encouraged her to continue being that way.
Always listening and learning from everything it could, history taught and showed that they could not act carelessly in this situation. She did not want to die or for her friends to suffer that fate.
She remembered that Tom was still outside.
They were murdering the teachers. Her stomach churned when she saw one fall limp to the ground. Her friends were just as pale as she was.
The creatures fought to protect their comrades; these invaders were gifted but too strong. There was something strange about their abilities. If it weren't for the creatures, they would have already captured them all.
Above, the combat continued moving from ground to air. The being appeared monstrous at times, and gifted betas wielding attacked some of the invaders during the melee.
In one of those moments, she decided to go out to an area that was "cleaned" by those betas.
She felt bad for leaving all those children behind, but she couldn't save them all; they were using them as a shield to escape. Tears of helplessness covered her face as they ran.
She wanted to grow up, and didn't want to feel this again… it was horrible.
Why was this happening?
In the middle of the race, she saw a man heading towards them, with the expression of having found a treasure. It was fast. Lessar acted immediately, the snap of her fingers announcing the temporary blindness of her pursuer.
- Aiden! - he ordered with a shout
-Yes.
Bronk shot out and beheaded the man, Adolf vomited.
"This is no time," Aiden said with a scared face as he took his friend by the shoulder. "We have to continue."
They ran for a while. His enhanced stamina stood out at this time.
In the distance, a cloud of dust could be seen. And the war cries of a woman were heard.
Sarah recognized that voice. Although she was undoubtedly the first to hear her scream, she was still grateful.
When the dust cleared, there were some bodies on the ground, and Batze was next to a badly beaten Noelle and normalizing her breathing, at some distance, there was a group of children who were quite agitated.
She couldn't see Tom close.
Noelle, who had noticed the group, I hope they came closer. Sarah wiped away her tears and told them who she was, so they moved on.

"Can you tell me what ... happened?" Noelle asked as she watched the combat between the beast and the betas.
"We don't know what you can see ... and this group of people seemed to be trying to capture the students at the center," Sarah answered after a breath.
- Excuse me, is Tom okay ...? - Aiden asked.
- Yes ... I should, and I left it in a nearby building.
- ... What shall we do now? ... - Adolf consulted somewhat nervous.
Sarah watched as Noelle seemed to be assessing the situation. She understood that Adolf was also concerned about the people at school, but they would only get in the way of those capable of making a difference.
She didn't know how they could help. Her mind went blank every time she tried to think of something, so he decided to wait for whatever the tom's teacher said would follow her.
Noelle was in a dilemma. The gifted he had faced when he approached the downtown grounds were quite strong. The girl said that there was a later; she could not resist another confrontation like that. If it weren't for Batze's paralysis ability, she would be dead.
There was also the battle that the Betas were having. They were doing everything possible to contain it and prevent it from going further into the city, I did not know if that humanoid was an ally of this force that invaded the town, but surely there would be collateral damage.
She could take the risk and help the other children, but she also needed to reassure those around her. The more time it took to deliberate, the more it would hurt those children ...
She took a deep breath and looked at those around her. She knew that at any moment, the forces of the city would begin to move; it had not been long since the incident began. And the 4 Betas in the sky were proof of this ... I just hoped that these were not all that was in the city right now ...
Still, the rest of the gifted were there too. The shock on the faces of these children made him decide that he had to watch over them first; he hoped with all his heart that there would be people coming to this address ...
In midair, the leader of this Betas team was still burdened by the situation. They were the only active team in the city. The rest were doing exercises in space. And even if they had informed him of the problem, it would take a few hours to arrive. I didn't even know if that was the case since the network was disabled.
There were still some regular troops left in the city, but from what little he could see from the air, he didn't know if they could contain the situation; at best, the gifted would be acting. And indeed the creatures would be supporting as he could see in the scene in the demolished school ...
It still hurt her every time she remembered the corpses of adults and children when the combat almost took place in that part; thanks to their joint efforts, they were able to carry this being away.
Those children shouldn't have faced such a situation, although they were expected to protect Vyndra in the future. This was different ...
In the last communication with his subordinate, they learned that the group that was fighting with the being before had something to do with the current situation; it seemed that the creature questioned him about why they attacked him and punished him so much since he arrived in this world ... somehow he assumed he was with that gifted team and immediately took him as an enemy.
They arrived on the scene when their subordinate was destroyed. They tried to reason with the creature, but it was so blinded by anger and hatred that it didn't even listen to them. At the beginning of the fray, the body of this being was deformed, but now it seemed stable. And from his unwavering gaze, it seemed that he wanted to destroy everything as punishment.
His team was supposed to receive the cocktail in a few weeks, now they only had the awakening and could not exert the full potential of the Betas. They were still considered the best in this army unit, but they could barely keep up with this creature, which from what I noticed, had improved in its combat ability during the fight.
The battle was not to reach the city, but now it was too late; he tried to guide the beast out of America with his attacks, but it was getting more and more complicated. In a fit of impatience, one of his subordinates made a too strong wind attack, ignoring the city below them and behind the creature.
- IDIOT, STOP! - scream frustrated
But it was too late; the creature was thrown to the ground and hit a building directly.

8 114YAOS 1 - Limitless Adventures - Yet Another OP Story Book 1
December 23rd 2018: Book 1 is now up at Smashwords and at Amazon. December 30th 2018: V1.1.2 of YAOS Book 1 is out, some content additions, fixed typos. Amazon's enhanced typesetting now displays tables properly. YAOS is shown through the eyes of some genius athlete getting OP inside a VR, ah wait, Full Immersion game, ?F.I.O?. Not a Hero, not a Nerd, just a driven individual paying for mistakes made, biding time until he can return to the Real World. He isn't defined like you'd normally do it, you can pick his looks and name all on your own, just like you do in video games. Believe it or not, keeping his looks undefined is harder than you think. His backstory isn't expounded in detail, but it drives his choices. Book 1 isn't about depressing sob stories but about fun and rushing forward, pursuing new horizons. Oh, and you'll end on a cliffhanger! Well, most serials do, so you will probably expect that without being told explicitly. But it isn't that bad, there's a lot of reveals and more to come once this book, that is the first in a planned three-part series, is finally ready for release on amazon et al. The published version will have: 1.) Godawful speaker tags, I hate them, they make you stop thinking and speed up editing so much. In hindsight they should have been in to begin with. But I stand by my goals proclaimed earlier. You guys should think while reading, that is the whole point of the exercise. Apply the knowledge and ideas, improve yourself, get creative! 2.) Pretty colored tables, the damned blue boxes, a lot of work, 69 in one book. Finally fixed amazon's centering issue. Can't say I liked the hours needed to debug that. 3.) The promised Mitara chapters. 4.) A cover! 5.) And lastly, updated polished versions of several chapters. MC shares more of his past, some terrible chapters (esp. 32) finally work. Some new scenes, minor rewrites in parts. Text flow and other issues. The current challenge is to maintain essential ambiguity while satisfying people wanting to know more without thinking three steps ahead. Balancing one with the other is tough. The smut which was in remains, but the story told is not to be superseded by it. A 15+ rating for the first book is also important, not to mention, YAOS wasn't meant to contain any smut to begin with. If the Author can turn to writing full time his output should increase, so please support YAOS #1 once it does finally release. ~Thank You~ No maps so far, that should be in, but is really hard to get done right. Again, tips are appreciated. Update September 2017: Stubbed chapters, sorry guys, currently don't have time to upload them elsewhere, polishing book 1 and 2, writing 3, takes precedence. Book 1 is in heavy editing, too much to keep synced and continuing editing. I'd need a site which offers JS-free rapid managing of chapters and comments. Coding one myself or setting a premade up is out of scope until I'm done with the books. RRL-old offered that, nuff said. This is only here because the author believes in fairies, nobody reads this, most likely. October to December 2017: Life threw some curveballs. February 2018: Book 2 draft 1 completed, at ~150K words. Book 2 is fairly epic in scope, requires 1 rewritten chapter, some editing. Tables and miscellanea are in, but needs at least a grammar pass. March 2018: Book 3 at 28k words, first arc, rest needs serious planning for spin-off and satisfying conclusion. July 2018: Yet another proofing/editing session of books 1-3, 101+ chapters, ~300k words. B3 at 48k, starts out great, but no ETA, no wordcount limit, in flux. But prioritizing my writing cannot be done, I hate the delays as much as you, but you will prefer the whole released in a timely fashion rather than wait. Knowing myself how excruciating waiting can be, at least you'll get significantly polished versions and an ETA on book 2 by release of book 1. December 23rd 2018: Book 1 is now up at Smashwords and in the process at Amazon et. al.. . To all who wait patiently, offered feedback, thanks again!
