Transformers Overdrive Ch: 4 Searching in the Dark

Transformers Overdrive Chapter: 4 Searching in the Dark by Thomas A Sagaser As Capt. Beta followed Alpha Trion back to her ship. She was overwhelmed by the shocking information she had just received. The idea that the Cybertronian High Council could commit such a heinous act of framing an innocent Cybertronian was bad enough. But the thought that they would take the planet's most valuable resources and escape into space was beyond understanding. No matter how hard she tried, the details kept getting stuck in an endless loop in her central processor. She was suddenly caught off guard when Alpha Trion held out his hand to stop her. She looked around and realized she was about to step on the severed arm of a Cybertronian just a few feet away, leaking energon and other fluids that had caught fire. A Mini-Con field medic rushed over, stamped out the flames, and then retrieved the arm. At this moment, Capt. Beta looked around the Autobot and Decepticon battle lines, filled with mortar

Supporting Me Chapter Twenty-Three

Chapter Twenty-Three: “Through Trial, We Find the Strength We Need” —----- —------------- For Sage (or her proxy at least), maintaining control over the Black Comet’s shifting halls, doors and rooms was gradually becoming more of a struggle. In the twisted space of the hivemind, she could feel something searching for her. She was forced to divert resources to keep herself hidden, all while keeping thousands of Black Arms crippled in pain and fighting the Comet for control. For Shadow, Omega and Team Sonic’s part, they were tearing hell through the Black Comet. Several squads of Dark Arms set up defensive checkpoints to stop them, but the combined might of Omega and the four Mobians rolled over them in a matter of moments every time. Their fighting fervor was sharpened by a hasty desperation. Though Shadow, Knuckles and Omega were the closest with Rouge, it was personal for Sonic and Tails as well. All of them raced to save the world’s greatest treasure huntress, their

Laughing In The Bright Air

The sparrows softy chirp her awake. Like little feathered warriors, they land on the windowsill and chirp her awake. In bright air, the sparrows chirped, pretending to carry souls across rivers, pretending to bear messages to the dreaming world and back.  Even on the worst days, their voices are always the first to greet her, scouting her from sleep to stirring alertness. For they are her flock.      Well, more exactly: For they are my  flock. Here they are: flying through warm cascades of sunlight, as if sunlight could be a waterfall.  Happy valkyries sailing to and from my windowsill. Because I love and protect them. Because they love and protect me. I groan, my dark hair billowing outward as I rise and push aside my blankets. I come to the farmhouse window, freeing the window’s brass hook latch, pushing

             One day, in Shadow's living room, he was watching T.V. while Rouge was feeding their 1 year old son. Rouge looked at Shadow. It seemed like he was thinking deeply about something. Then he looked at a picture of Maria for a long time. A tear slid down his cheek. "Mommy" Dark said. "Daddy crying." He got out of Rouge's lap and hopped onto Shadow's. "Pwease don't cry daddy." Shadow petted his son's soft quills. "Erm, Dark..." Rouge said. Dark looked at Rouge. "Why don't you play in your room for a while?" Rouge asked. "Ok mommy." Dark replied. He waddled to his room and closed the door. "What's wrong Shadow?" Asked Rouge with con...

Rouge paused. She was horrified of what Shadow would do to her if she said yes. She sucked it up, and just decided to tell the truth. "....Yes..." She said nerviously. Rouge, Dark, and Rose were all expecting Shadow to do something. But he didn't. Shadow sighed. He turned around, and put the gun on the night stand, and sat next to her. Dark and Rose were confused, but Rouge was confused most of all, yet relieved at the same time. Shadow hung h...

The Child of a Hero-Chapter 14

"Idiot! If you don't leave now, both you and the baby could die , and I promised before I wouldn't let anything happen to you, remember?" Leo snapped, turning to face Link. The Stalfos was creeping up behind Leo, and Link's eyes widened. "Watch out!" Link tried to yell. No sound came, however, and he tried again. "Leo, turn around !" This effort had the same effect as the first, and Link tried to run forward, but his legs wouldn't move either. The Stalfos came at Leo with a downward slice and Link's heart sank. "Leo!" he finally cried. But it was too late. The sword sliced through flesh and bone as easily as if they were butter. Leo crie...

"Leo... I've been thinking, and... after the baby's born, I want you to move in with me ," Link said, grabbing Leo's hands from where he stood next to the lake. He had a radiant smile on his face, and Leo could honestly say that the glow of pregnancy made him look wonderful. Not many guys could pull off pregnancy, but Link did that and beyond. As he heard Link's statement, Leo cocked his head at Link. "But... why? Don't you want to stay with us?" he asked, his brow furrowed unhappily. Link sighed and looked down, hesitating before he answered. "It is wonderful to stay with you two, but Dr. Iris is just too much in the way. Leo... I want...

The Child of a Hero-Chapter 8

Leo was heading over to Link's house (which he seemed to be doing a lot lately, now that he thought about it) with a fruit basket and a plate of muffins, which happened to be made with the same recipe as the ones he had made with Link two months earlier. The fruits were sent by Dr. Iris, of course, but Leo had made the muffins. However, instead of blueberry like Link's had been, Leo had put in chunks of chocolate, despite the fact that they weren't quite as healthy as Link's muffins or the fruit basket. If Leo knew the people of Hyrule well enough, Link would need the indulgence. As Leo got closer to Link's house, he noticed that people we...

Each day, a fair young maiden A blacksmith’s comely daughter Was sent out to a forest stream To fill a pitcher with water Water lapping at her feet Sunshine on her tresses Weeds and reeds along the brook Tugging at her dresses Time and time again she’d stay Longer than she needed The warnings that her father gave Never had she heeded “Linger not beside the brook, For the folk who live there Would surely take you far away Without a second care.” The maid she didn’t listen, She liked it by the stream Where she watched the sunlight glisten As gold was wont to gleam There down by the stream there lived A member of the fairies The sort of whom a prudent maid Would do well to be wary Each day he watched her Coming to the stream Sighing and meandering In an absent dream He thought she was the loveliest Among the human folk So, he resolved to court her And take her for his own One day when she came fetching Before her he appeared He tried to reassure her That he need not be feared He

XXII. Marrow-fed Fire

Eira bent to remove her shoes. She cut down Alaric’s hanging corpse, then she began to dance. She sang the song to rouse the dead, and quickly, Alaric’s body rose like a puppet on a string. As Eira danced around the clearing, she beckoned the corpse to follow suit. It did, a gruesome sight with its purple face still dressed in priestly garb. Eira giggled, and sang on as she twirled around the fire. As we dance around this fire Let this be a funeral pyre For the mother who died for me For the life that was not to be For all the lives my father stole For every act that damned his soul For deeds from which he can’t atone I offer up his flesh and bone! At these words, the corpse danced straight into the blazing fire, and immediately caught alight. It twisted and flailed in the flames, but did not move from them. As Eira watched, the flames consumed the corpse, reducing it to ash and bone fragments. She stopped dancing then, and threw dirt over the fire, dousing it. No one would find

XIV. Blood in Braille

Early the next morning, just as dawn was breaking, Alaric went to visit Gwen one final time. For her impending execution, he wore white robes to show his purity and holiness. The irony made him chuckle as he unlocked the shed. Inside, he found Gwen slumped against the wall, sound asleep, with a faint smile on her face. Perhaps she was dreaming of more pleasant times. Then he noticed that she wasn’t holding the baby in her arms, as she usually was. He looked around. The shed was small, with no place to hide anything, even something as small as an infant. Where was the baby? The door had been locked, and he had the only key. Where could it have gotten to? He reached down and grasped Gwen’s shoulder, roughly shaking her awake. She opened her eyes and shook her head, before looking up at him inquisitively. “Where’s the baby?” Gwen blinked, then looked around, as if expecting to see it somewhere. When she didn’t, she grinned. How dare she. Alaric grabbed her other shoulder and shook
