《Pink and Yellow - Trimberly》Chapter 20
Advertisement
I woke up the next morning in my own comfortable bed. Replaying everything that happened last night made me feel a bit nauseous. Maybe if the Pink Ranger forgot, everything would be normal. Then on the other hand, I would be stuck with knowing what we did and it wouldn't have meant anything to her.
I groaned and slid out of bed. Today, we would practice early in the Pit. Alpha 5 thinks we've gotten a little rusty which I couldn't blame him for. All of the Rangers, including me, have been off our game lately. We have our own problems, saving the world hasn't been number one priority. If danger came, none of us would be ready.
I got dressed and ran to our base in the ravine. Before jumping down, I remembered the reason why I stayed. All because Kimberly shoved me down with her. The nostalgic feel was a bitch slap across the face. If the taller brunette hadn't been there, I wouldn't have either. I was terrified of what would've happened if I never met Kimberly. The nightmares would still be my constant companion, I would feel alone, unwanted. Tears threatened to fall, but I quickly snapped out of it. I was about to jump when I felt a body crash into mine.
Screaming, we both fell into the water, landing with a big splash. My eyes flickered to see who it was. It was, of course, Kimberly Hart.
"What's with you tackling me so much?" I teased.
"I don't know, it's fun." She shrugged while grinning. The grin that would make me weak at the knees if I weren't in water.
While I treaded the water, I debated if I should ask her about last night. I definitely didn't want to make her pissed. Sparring with a pissed off Kimberly would land me in the hospital. So I held my tongue and motioned for her to follow me in the base. We entered the Pit, Jason, Billy, and Zack already there. Jason was practicing with Putties, and Billy and Zack were sparring together. The Pink Ranger and I walked over to our normal spot and got into position.

I was doing fairly well against her, dodging attacks left and right, throwing decent hits, when suddenly I see Zack out of the corner of my eye walking towards us. He watches for a while then has a shocked expression on his face.
"Oh, my god!" He yelled.
"What?" I asked, taking my eyes off the taller girl for less than a second.
And that was all she needed. The heavy blow to my gut knocked me down, landing with a thud. I groaned and sat up.
"What happened Zack?" Kimberly questioned.
Zack looked between Kimberly and me multiple times before shouting, "YOU TWO TOTALLY FUCKED."
Silence
"I will end you..." I mumbled, still sitting on the floor of the Pit. By now, Jason and Billy came over to see what the yelling was about.
"Uh, what?" The brunette looked confused mixed with shock.
"You guys," The Black Ranger pointed to both of us. "Did it. Did it, as in each other!"
"I could shove you off a cliff..." I said mostly to myself.
"Woah woah woah. What how do you know that, Zack?" Jason asked.
"Look at them! It's written over they're faces!" Zack responded.
"... Or a plane..." I murmured.
"What are you talking about?" Kimberly growled. "You don't know shit."
"Don't act all innocent now!" Zack rolled his eyes. "You guys are disgustingly adorable together."
"... Or a turbine, I could throw you into a turbine..." I mumbled once again.
"Yes, I know, I know!" The Pink Ranger snapped. "But you didn't have to yell that at the top of your lungs!"
My head shot up to Kimberly's response, forgetting about the 'Everything I could do to make Zack shut up' list I was currently making. I caught her eye and she looked down at me. She must've read my confused expression because she quickly answered my question.

"Oh, I wasn't drunk." She assured me. "Well, kinda, but not enough to not know what I was doing." She winked.
My mouth opened and closed multiple times, not knowing what to say. I felt relieved that she had control over her body and wasn't just doing it just to do it. She was fully aware and she actually wanted to do it. That made my feel less of a jerk.
Oh, my god we totally fucked.
It hit me just then that we had sex... But I still don't know what we are! Why can't I just resist the taller girl? Everything would be so much easier. We wouldn't have to worry about the team as much, maybe we could actually focus during sparring without eye fucking each other, and maybe, just maybe, Zack would shut the fuck up!
"So you guys did it at the party, huh?" The Black Ranger wiggles his eyebrows.
"Yes..." Kimberly dragged out.
"I fucking told you, Kimberly Hart! 'Get loose, drink up, and fuck'!"
"I'm getting a headache." I stood up and began to exit the Pit.
"Where are you going?" The taller girl asked.
"I don't know. Anywhere." I said softly.
"I'm coming with you then." She replied.
"Uh, no it's fine really. You guys should keep training." I said before jumping out of the Pit.
"Well? Go after her. Get your girl!" Zack yelled excitedly earning a punch from the Red Ranger.
"Yeah, yeah what the hell do you think I'm doing?" Kimberly rolled her eyes and followed me out.

8 158Dark Matter
In the year 2023, scientists investigating the nature of dark matter caused a blackout throughout the entire world of Coranth. With this blackout came the appearance of supernatural and near-magical elemental abilities able to be wielded by all. By harnessing the dark matter in the environment, even ordinary humans now accessed powers that would have been deemed fantasy. These abilities include Wind, Fire, Lightning, Water, and Terra, being the five natural elements of which dark matter is absorbed by the planet itself. Additionally, the two moons orbiting Coranth offer the "Superior" elements of Dark and Light. The year is now 2041, and Dark Matter will follow the story of an adolescent boy named Raiden Sullivan in a dystopian future, 16 years old, eldest of 2, and son to Marcus Sullivan. Raiden is an intelligent young man belonging to a poor family with an absentee mother. He partakes in daily chores to cover living expenses after school and his home life is surrounded by his caring father and younger sister. In truth, this is my take on urban fantasy with slight LitRPG that keeps the "magic" elements somewhat scientific for a more realistic story. In using the dark matter surrounding our universe, humans can now harness elemental abilities as well as absorb dark matter from the beasts/monsters to further strengthen their abilities. For the most part, that'll be the main premise of the power system. Full transparency, this will be the first story I write and also the first story I publish, so please be patient with me. For some context, I'm an avid reader and after 4 or so years of only consuming, I feel that it might be time to try my hand at writing instead. Please feel free to add your opinions and criticism, it would be much appreciated. With that said, I hope you enjoy Dark Matter!
8 94Synapsis (Liber Telluris Book 2)
Ancient biotechnologies, psychotic satellites, and incomprehensible enemies… The weaponized strain of the genophage—the disease that ravaged the world, turned men into monsters, and ended the Last Era—is in remission, but the effects of its attack on the genes of the Nethress family linger… Tvorh, an adopted Nethress biomage with everything to prove, is tasked by his liege Dorsin to invent a permanent inoculation against infection. At Tvorh’s disposal is an unprecedented resource: a princess of the Last Era, recently released from cryostasis. In this diminished age, her knowledge and power are unmatched. So are her psychoses and power-hunger. When the quest for answers drives Dorsin, Tvorh, and their companions into the deepest wilds of Tellus and the blackest voids beyond it, they will learn the single terrible secret binding synapse to synapse, biomage to genophage, man to Chimera… Past to present. Land to sky. And prey to predator. Because while fractious bloodlines war across Tellus’s surface, the true threat glides unrecognized through the void of space… Heading straight toward Tellus. *** Synapsis is the second book of a biopunk science-fantasy epic inspired by the altered philosophies and weird technologies of Dune, the ever-present familial machinations present in Exalted's Scarlet Empire, and the endless conflict of Warhammer 40K. The first book, Genophage, may be found on Royal Road.
8 203Human & [Inhuman]
In a modern Japan just like our own, unbeknownst to the general populace, there are [Inhumans] who are capable of channeling [Soul Energy] into unique [Magic] through their physiological differences from normal humans, as well as [Compatibles] who possess an excess of said [Soul Energy]. [Inhuman] and [Compatible] are designed to work together, to complete each other. In such a world, underground feuds between bloodlines are common, and no duo is safe from destiny. Perhaps love can yet blossom on the battlefield? This is a piece that heavily takes inspiration from animanga/japanese light novels, and is also sort of an experimental piece to see if combining the exposition style of japanese light novels with the narrative and descriptive techniques of western literature can work. Prepare for two-person team battle action, romance, as well as some slice-of-life on the side.
