《The hero is a wanted criminal!》To space!
Advertisement
Wind forces his face backwards, along with a feeling of weightlesness.
He opens the twins.
This is unexpected.
He gets scared, flying does that to you.
But not flying as in inside a plane, he's flying on his own!
Looking at the arm that ensnares him, he recognizes the signature white metal like suit.
It does feel as cold as metal.
He doesn't even know how he should feel about this.
His friend holds him tighter and they gain a boost of speed.
Passing the clouds now...
Kirito suddenly feels something clawing inside of him.
He looks at his friend and his friend looks back, taking in something.
Unannounced, he grabs him by behind the neck and throws him to even greater heights.
Being senseless like that, lost, he simply needed to vocalize his fear, with a scream as he ascended into the unknown.
A picture of the world starts coming together, it looks red, and the land mass seems to be large, but it's impossible to tell if more continents exist on the other side.
He wants to look more, but the fear of spiraling out of control impedes him, but when he sees his friend arriving, he analyzes his surroundings.
Well, it's sort of dissapointing, in the sense that you can't even see anything you would expect seeing on the solar system.
It's empty... no white dots... no other giants of rock far, far away... nothing at all...
This was probably when he really thought for the first time after this past minutes.
-How the hell am I breathing?!!
No sound came from that... which only reiterates that he was really breathing on vacuum.
I can't even feel any difference.
He sees the expressionless helmet in his face and shivers.
His friend shoves his hand in his abdomen. Not to injure but to... take Khanti off?

It seems different from before, it's petrol black in color now, and emiting purplish fumes.
Such an obvious thing to notice...
His friend supports his left arm on his right shoulder and his left leg on the opposing one.
-Motionless.
With that word, Kirito feels his body clenching, he can't move an inch.
And then some pinkish tentacles emerge from Gojo's body.
He's impressed to see such demonstration.
All of them surround him and tighten up.
Gojo then pulls Khanti, but even with such strength it's a task that's proving to be difficult.
Khanti slowly detaches itself, with body tissues cracking along the way.
When he's finally removed, the three of them are pushed back.
-Shit! I didn't thought all of this through!
With these words he recoils the tentacles and prepares a throw... he throws his arm back and... there goes Khanti...
That hurt... but it doesn't now, so Kirito looks down and... the injury to his belly has been replaced by bright, crimson skin, and there's no sign of his stab wound, that is as good as it was on Earth.
Gojo grabs Kirito and flies down, he can move now.
Behind them, an enourmous blast starts forming, and it grows, and grows.
He looks back, asking himself why, why did that had to happen with Khanti.
I won't hesitate to ask now... for everything!
A trip like this would be boring, if not for Gojo's speed.
The only things remarkable in the distance is a big city... and a bright colored castle in the mountains behind it.
They arrived... through s hole in the ceiling!
I mean, it makes sense but someone is not going to be happy with that.
After taking some steps, his friend seems to drop his worry.
One obvious thing needed an answer.
-Where is...

-She's resting upstairs. I guess you already know but, it really was because of the dagger, she's fine now.
Oh, and don't you worry about the dagger... I ate it!
Saying that with a finger on his mouth and stuff, he expected something, but I already believe in almost anything now.
-Well, anyways... I caught the dude... And I don't know why I told you...
-Let me join you!
-Look, you do know that you might get involved in some crime politics stuff or something...
Kirito storms out of the door, with his mind set on the goal... but comes back for someone...
She seems fine now.
--She's sleeping now... the guy is in our special room... close the door.
Gojo touches the door, looks back and opens it.
-Ta-daaa!
It's somewhere else entirely, a grey room with the mask person trapped in the middle, in some sort of chair, guess it must be a pretty strong one.
Gojo closes the door behind them.
-Alright, let's not waste too much time here, why not start with this, to break the ice, you know?
Taking the mask off seems to be the logical first step.
-I have some tutoring to do after this, so I won't hesitate to get dirty if you take too...
His recoil isn't a good sign, let me see...
Well, I can't say I was expecting this...
It's someone from his old life.

Dimensional Descent
The Third Dimension is collapsing. The Fourth Dimension is descending.
8 616The Loyal Ones [Dark Biopunk Fantasy]
TLDR; A slave monster survives horror, war and servitude, while trying to live with himself. Thralls are a race of monstrous slave soldiers, in a universe where biological magic takes the place of technology. Centuries ago, their ancestors were desperate humans, who volunteered to be transformed for the Poison War. Today their unfortunate descendants are still soldiers and laborers. In contract law they are 'corporate wards'; slaves owned largely by arms dealers. Dally Harper starts this story as a champion cage fighter. He is one of the 'lucky' ones. It's all downhill from there. Content Warning: Explicit violence and gore, slavery, implied sexual assault. None of these are framed as positive or glorified, however they do have a strong impact on the plot and main characters.
8 178Hellfire Across the Heavens
Three centuries of FTL space travel has spread the people of Terra far across the stars and for nearly half a millennia people have asked the question, "are we alone in the universe?" The answer to that question is a resounding no. To one side, humanity is boxed in by an ancient empire whose light has burned up long ago. To the other, is a federation of alien races known as the Senate. Mankind rejoiced the knowledge that they were not the only life in a cold dark galaxy. But as first contact was made, ET's who transited into the Warp seemed to disappear without a trace, technologies traded with the other races malfunctioned or refused to work entirely, and simple translation errors led to grave misunderstandings. Before long, humanity was outcasted by the Senate and relationships soured, but even still the sons and daughters of Terra worked hard to earn the respect and trust of the Xeno's.
8 125Demon Blade
Ryuken is your average 15-year old high schooler, living his life in an ordinary way, until he comes across a mysterious katana and is pulled into the world of unbelievable supernatural.An anime-inspired passion project of mine, sparked from my childhood love of shounen anime. I have big plans for this world but we'll see if I get to stick around long enough to finish it.Enjoy! Notes: 1. My writing style is mostly script-like with some 3rd person-ish narrative sprinkled in, and it is VERY dialogue-heavy. 2. It can be pretty slow, as I tend to focus more on characters rather than action. 3. Since the story is set in Japan with Japanese characters, I will be using Japanese honorifics whenever the characters are interacting with each other. To learn more about Japanese Honorifics, you can go to this website here. I apologize if I used them wrongly, or if I forgot to use them from time to time, or if it turns you off. 4. I don't have a fixed release schedule as I don't have time to write regularly at the moment. I may update tomorrow or next year. Who knows. I'm like your dad who's gone to the store for some milk. I'll be back. Cover Source
8 178[NaNoWriMo] The Mortal God's Melancholy
Meeting a wouded person overnight to being trudged in a battle that will decide who the God of gods will be, Kaellum Wright becomes the new god, Vixalis, replacing the forgotten minor god of the four seasons. Sent to a world where Gods battle their hearts out for surpemacy. Will he emerge victorious, becoming God by force, will he fall before them in disgrace, or will he choose his own destiny. ----- 3500-4000 words per chapter. Don't worry about it making sense. If it doesn't when you expected one, then I am sorry. Awkward plot, forgive me. I had a really late start. Terribly sorry for those seeking a really great story, character, and plot. I made this to let my imagination run wild, no matter how irritating it might get, but I'll still accept criticism, it'll serve as a good teacher for the future. It's just something to make in my free time, that and the contest itself. Hope you still enjoy it though! :) Credits to Deadheadz for the great cover art! :)
