《More Than What He Seems - A Fortnite Story No.1》Chapter 27 - Final Preparations
Advertisement
It's time.
This final fight has been long overdue.
But now, it's finally happening. The war between Ghost and Shadow, me and Chaos Agent, will finally reach its intended conclusion.
And I intend to come out on top to save the kid AND the island.
"Mr M, sir?" A henchmen calls from outside my door.
"Yes?" I reply, doing my tie up.
"We're all ready to go when you are. And Meowscles and his son have arrived." He informs me.
"Wait, he brought Kit with him too?"
I allow the henchman to escort me down to where my henchmen and agents are patiently waiting for my orders. I sprint on over to where Meowscles is happily catching up with Skye, who looks delighted to see him again.
"Hey boss. Did mew miss me?" Meowscles chuckles as I stroke him affectionately.
"Never mind that, I heard you brought Kit with you." I sigh, folding my arms.
"Ah, you'll see why in a second. Kit, come here!"
A loud engine begins powering up, coming closer to them. I'm surprised to find Kit driving on top of a mechanical robot body being controlled by his paws on motorbike gears.
"W-Wow... where did this come from?" I ask, unexpected by this reveal.
"Just a little side project Jules here helped me with." Meowscles explains, Jules looking a little embarrassed by her name getting mentioned.
"Heh, probably should've told you about Meowscles, but I didn't know he used to work for you." Jules chuckles.
I sigh with a small laugh.
"Well, we need all the help we can get. So as long as you stay with him Meowscles, he can come with us."
Kit purrs happily in response, as if to say 'thank you'.
"Alright, we've waited around long enough. Let us go end this war. To the Authority!" I order, raising my voice.

Everyone gathers into the motorboats, whilst Jules, getting into the pilot seat, me, Skye, Ocean, Meowscles and Kit hop into the choppa. They all started their engines, and begin the trip to the Authority for the last time.
*****************************************
Meanwhile, down in the darkest part of the Authority, a young child behind bars slowly wakes up to the sound of a heavy metal door creaking open. She tries getting up, but her arms and legs are covered in scars and bruises.
Ever since she was captured by the Chaos Agent, she'd been tortured physically for what seemed like days, wearing a dirty white shirt and grey torn leggings.
A henchmen comes along, carrying a SMG. Staring down at Sophie, he sighs.
"Come on, let's get this done with. It seems your pretty golden hero didn't care about you after all." He said coldly, hitting Sophie mentally in the heart.
"W-Where are we going?" She whimpers.
He tilts his head, showing she should know what's about to happen. Sophie suddenly realizes, holding her hand across her throat, and gulps in fear.
Two other henchmen show up, holding lengths of rope. As the first henchman opens the door, the others begin to tie her hands together, the other rope most likely to be for her feet when she's faced with her inevitable doom.
The two henchmen holding her tight and the other with the SMG behind her, Sophie sadly walks out of the prison cells and up to the main floor of the Authority.
On the path, she looks around the place and finds TnTina leaning against the wall, staring at her. She looks... disgusted, and turns her gaze to the wall.
"Wait! Tina! Tina!!" She cries, the henchmen shoving her up to the stairs.
*****************************************
Reaching the very top, both the 3 henchmen and Sophie are shocked to find the top has been blown open, and in the centre of the office, stands The Device.

"Hang on a second, isn't that the thing that flooded the island?!" She yells, trying to pull out of the henchmen's grasps.
"On the contrary, child. This is the very device that, yes, flooded the island, but was also built by that golden weakling." Chaos Agent chuckles deeply, scaring the girl.
"M built this thing?" She asks, being forced to sit down as her feet are bonded together with the rope.
"Yes. Why, did you think it was me?"
"Well, I thought of it. You technically rebuilt it too." She guesses.
He smirks, leaning towards the girl.
"Did you REALLY think that a guy like him cared about you?"
Sophie leans back, scared of him.
"Oh, I'm sorry. Does my face scare you? Here, how about this."
His ink coated face suddenly shifts and morphs to look like Midas' face, smirking devilishly at her.
"T-That's not any better!!" She cries, tears forming in her eyes.
"Well, don't worry sweetheart. It's going to be the last face you see." He laughs, mimicking Midas' voice and pulling out an dripping ink covered scythe. "I'll make it quick."
But just before he can swing down to slice her, a henchman rapidly runs up.
"Sir!! Ghost are invading!! They have a whole army here!!"
"Midas!! He's here?!"
"Quiet you!!"
The Chaos Agent puts the scythe behind his back, turning around.
"Send EVERYONE we have at them. Don't let them get up here!! Go now!!" He orders the henchman, who salutes him and runs back down.
"He might have shown up brat, but he won't make it up here alive! I'll make sure of it."
With a flip of a switch, the device begins powering up as pillars start rising out of the waters of the Authority. At the same time, a purple storm begins to hover over the island, as rain slowly pours downs.
This truly was the final confrontation between Midas and Chaos Agent.
The war was coming to a close, with both sides armed with henchmen and weapons. And both were determined to win.
But with the device back in operation once more, who knows what was going to happen.
All Sophie knew, was that she believed in Midas and Ghost. He's the smartest guy she's ever had the pleasure of working... and becoming friends with, despite his serious looks.
"You can do this Midas...I believe in you...more than anyone else..."

Leftover Apocalypse
[Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] This is a story about the newly-adult Calliope Smith having a terrible day that ends in her getting mysteriously teleported from Phoenix, Arizona to a fantasy world where her life is in constant danger. She considers this an upgrade. Someone evil is looking for her, and she doesn't know why. Someone who seems to know a lot about her has promised they'll help her, but she doesn't know who they are. All that matters to Callie is that magic is real and one way or another she's going to learn it. The end of the world is coming up, sure, but Callie won't need to worry about that. In fact, by the time she even finds out about it one of the doomsday devices will already be destroyed, and the authorities will be well on the way to dealing with the other one. It's fine. Everything will be smooth sailing. Almost certainly. Probably. Chapters are usually about 2500-3500 words, and the goal is to post 2-3 per week but I sometimes get busy or have some writers block. It's your standard portal fantasy / Isekai premise, but unlike some the main character's time on Earth and how she got pulled into another world will (eventually) be explored. Some slight GameLit-feeling stuff later, no menus or level-ups but there's something suspiciously like a skill tree when the magic system gets going. No number crunching, and while the main character will get to do some silly stuff she won't be a god like in some fics (and will in fact spend a lot of time being badly outclassed by her enemies). Some reader interaction, ranging from adding to the worldbuilding to occasionally making big important decisions about skill progression. Please note that the main character is flawed and impulsive, and will make some stupid decisions. That's part of the story, but I get that it's not for everyone. Trigger Warnings: Foster care system references, crappy parenting. Some mental health adjacent stuff, specifically the main character has some issues where she experiences varying levels of empathy and emotional vulnerability depending on the day (it's complicated and not meant to portray any real-world conditions). Occasional violence including mention of death and grievous bodily harm, but no detailed descriptions of gore.

The Monster Inside: The First Vampire
Despite appearances, there was once a time where monsters did not exist. Where peace and prosperity reigned over all life. But those sinful and demonic forces that had hidden themselves in the shadows just couldn't help themselves could they? They wanted a piece of that prosperity too. They wanted to taint it, corrupt it, revel in its dark side.This is the story of a boy who was tainted. Of a boy who unintentionally bore a seed of sin and who in his naivety let it out. This is the story of how that boy was shamed and disgraced. Of how he was outcast for simply being. This is the story of how that boy learned to embrace the darkness that made him different. A darkness that would later make him known as the Lord of Night. Note to Reader: I understand this book is not for everyone, if there is a writer that can write to please everyone, I have never heard of them. The MC can be frustrating in his decisions as he learns to grow and accept what and who he is. I believe this reality is unavoidable. That being said, if you feel the need to give a review, please do so, just know that I will report you if all that review seems to do is blab toxic language and insult my literary choices without giving constructive advice or alternatives. That's not just a me policy, that's a policy of this website. I'm not writing this note because I'm a writer who does not acknowledge that there are faults in my work. I know there are. That's what happens when it hasn't been professionally edited by someone other than the author. I'm saying this because I'm sick of reading 1 star or 0.5 star rated reviews that seem to do nothing but hate on the book because they don't like the story. No comments on grammar, ways to improve or suggestions for better story arcs. Just plain hate. It's not on, and I frankly shouldn't have to write this note, but needed to get it off my chest. In saying all that, thank you to those who do leave reviews that don't fall into the above category. Your appreciation of my work, or alternatively, your willingness to give advice for improvement, is appreciated.

Infested
One billion people from one hundred thousand universes have been dropped onto a singular planet five times larger than Earth. In the corner of their eye were three numbers: 1,000,000,000. 15. 10. Nobody could figure out what it meant until fifteen years after the initial transportation, as out of the blue, a message repeated itself in their minds for twenty-four hours. “Only ten can return. The rest will die. There is no time limit,” Following the global message, genocides ran rampant, with established friendships broken, families ripped apart, blood alliances betrayed, and leaders felled in seconds. How? [The Evgnomon] The Beholden; hidden throughout the realm were artefacts: weapons, information, tools from beings and societies of a higher plane. It was up to the humans to scour the land and take them by hook or by crook if they ever wished to go back. Whisked into this world as a mere babe, I suppose it was lucky I didn’t die in the chaos. But as I stare into the rotten, tattered pages of the accursed book laid upon the pedestal in front of me; and the unnerving gaze of our professor trained onto the back of my head silently pressuring me to become the avatar of grotesques unspeakable and undecipherable to the human mind. O, how I wish I did...
