Code Lyoko: Mystery GirlPart 11: JealousyBy Orelia Muldova(Happy Halloween!)“Ready?”Yumi and William stood at the corners of an imaginary triangle with Mina at its heart. Here we go, Mina told herself anxiously. Worst case scenario – I make a fool out of myself. Offense and defense as one seamless motion, she recalled Yumi saying. Center your weight, center your mind, go for the unorthodox, take them off guard early. Whatever you do, don’t disappoint them.Following William’s example, Mina’s fists were wrapped with a protective layer of gauze, while one of Sissy’s headbands kept her hair from her eyes. She stopped to tighten her shoelaces, ...

The familiar sounds outside the house soothed me as I lay uncomfortable on the rigid frame of my bed. The crackling flames drifted through the air like the voice of a close friend, a lullaby of comfort and security that assured me of another safe nights sleep. The accompanying footsteps of my father reinforced this sensation as he patrolled outside. He was a sentinel, forever watchful over the barrier that separated us and what lay beyond the flames. He would be relieved part way through the night by Jacob’s father, the knowledge of which disturbed my peaceful thoughts.Throughout the harsh, gruelling struggle that was life, Jacob had becom...

LILY POV I had told Lucy all about Mary Later on that night. Mary had been our room-mate since we were all first years so Lucy's reaction was drastic and appropriate. "THAT BI-" "SHHHHH!!!!!!" I said quickly over her "For Merlin's sake. We. Are. In. A. Library." "Sorry, " she said quickly glances around. Thankfully we had found a reasonably excluded corner of the library and not many people were in here any way. "I can't believe Mary would say something like that though.""Join the club," I gave a sigh."Hey cheer up kiddo, I have to go meet Travis but you should go find the Marauders they'll cheer you up," her lips twitched.I laughed "Or ...

Remember when I first made my crossover platforming game characters, like, over a year ago? Well, now I'm going to try my hand at making some levels. Here's one level where I went out of my way to try and make it as scary as I possibly could without pushing an M rating. I got all of these ideas from watching Tats Top 10s, so bare with me here. The level is set around a hill, with a massive abandoned castle and several other areas around it. It is a dark and stormy night, and here are the points of interest:Enemies:-Stuffed Bears. Throughout the level are taxidermy bear statues, with their bloodshot eyes narrowed in rage and their arms rais...

He did not care even to notice he wasn’t alone until he reached the shore of the large town, a flintlock pistol resting in loose fingers, the grip easy and his expression calm enough that one could easily assume he had no fears about his place on the beach that night. The entire place was deserted at first sight, the people of the town assuredly sound asleep in their beds; the sea remained at low tide, exposing much of the coastline itself. If he glanced behind himself he could still catch sight of his ship resting on the waters quite a distance away, although near enough that he didn’t feel, thank God, abandoned. Drawing a trembling b...

Echo and Sunset were in a rush one day. They had been called to attend a gathering with Barbossa Wheatley, the grandson of the discoverer of the Tenebros gene (the gene that gave Nightcrawlers their powers), Tenebros Wheatley, back at the Crystal Empire, as they planned on auditioning Nightcrawlers for recruiting into Project: Synchro. Barbossa had high hopes in expanding Project: Synchro beyond the Crystal Empire and had gathered a mass of volunteers from his operations regarding Nightcrawlers.Barbossa wanted their expert opinions, and that of Artorias (for his battle prowess), so they could make the best choices possible. Of course, they...

ODD JOBS Chapter Twenty-Two The streets and avenues of The Lady's Ward were different from those in the rest of the Impossible City in that they were broad and open, where a cutter could easily see huge sections of open sky. But they were colder and more inhospitable at the same time; far less people walked those wide boulevards. They were kept swept clean and there were lots of regular patrols of both private houses and the city guard. This was a ward of the rich and powerful, the high-up lords who ran the city: nobles, bureaucrats, high priests and the criminal underworld; the latter known as knights of the cross-trade.      It was calle...

CHAPTER IV THE GREY LADYThe muddy ground, filled with garbage and dung, burst open and columns of smoke and flame filled the narrow street.  The inhabitants of Shardia fled into their hovels.  A hellish neighing rose from the pit, and a dark chariot burst out from the catacombs into the night.  The horses were ghostly shadows only a projection of their driver’s dark power.  Dietriech lashed the ghastly things forward.  The Dark Lord gave vent to his violent emotions.  His fangs glistened in the green moon light.  Navibia stood next to her frenzied lord, as regal as a goddess.  The chariot, blazing through the countryside like a black comet...

Your Watch. Look at your watch. No, good God! Look at the time . What is wrong with you?! What is the time?! Read it!…11:53? 11:53PM?! They were like shadows reflected onto white-painted walls; he saw them as ghosts, mystical, awful and terrorizing creatures. They buzzed around him urgently, eyes widening, voices raising. It was as if they knew something he didn’t. As if they’d received some kind of phone call or telegram, stating that two of his Beatles weren’t dead.Or that all of them were.Brian Epstein sat in a private waiting room within the Portland’s brightly-lit airport as Norm and Harold suddenly appeared at the door. There we...

Chapter 1 Unleash Thy Fury, Kyūbi! The chamber was dim and dank, certainly not the best place for a woman to bring new life into the world. Nevertheless it was a great necessity, as it was far from the village and if the worst should come to pass, the damage could be minimalized. The formal looking structure was originally an outpost that was used during the wars, but now was abandoned for years. A young man ran his hand over a section of the wall, feeling the irregular and coarse stones used to build the outpost. The use of natural stones in lieu of more modern tiles suggested the cavern’s age and added to the natural feel of the chamber...

The enchanted ceiling of the Great Hall was dark and scattered with stars, and below it the four long House tables were lined with disheveled students, some in traveling cloaks, others in dressing gowns. Here and there shone the pearly white figures of the school ghosts. Every eye, living and dead was fixed upon Professor McGonagall, who was speaking from the raised platform at the top of the Hall. Behind her stood the remaining teaches, including the palomino centaur, Firenze, and the members of the Order of the Phoenix who had arrived to fight. Harry and Sam moved up the Hall alongside the Gryffindor table, as they passed, faces turned i...

If you've noticed something, I ousted some scenes. Those who read Date A Live have already noticed it. To be honest, I just saw them as a drag down. Maybe. There is impact to seeing people react to it, but I just think that the current location should be the main focus unless there's something from a narrative standpoint to talk about. And a warning,  everyone's prone to death. It was a rainy day at Tenguu City, forcing the common people to flee to their homes as the rain came by. That alone didn't exclude Shido's situation, who was currently talking to Josuke through his phone as of what happened so far. The blue-haired teenager sat on h...

Rocket x Reader There For You Part 2 a Reader-Insert by SophiaofTerra (c) (GOTG SPOILERS AHEAD)                   You sat alone in your room on the Milano. The battle was only yesterday, but you couldn’t help it as you relived each piece bit by bit in the last hour. It was the most exciting thing to happen to you since, uh, a long, long time ago. Come to think of it, it was the most exciting thing to happen to you. But in spite of it being PTSD worthy, it wasn’t the most troubling.             No, no. It wasn’t even close.             The most troubling piece, the part that nipped at your heart-strings, was the fact that you were in love...

Dib quietly pushed the doors open, took in a deep breath, and made his way through the church.It was quiet and dark, light barely filtering in through the stained-glass windows that lined every wall, an altar on the far end with some candles, an enormous copy of the Bible, and a pair of containers for wafers. The air felt musty and thick, the statue of Jesus hanging on the cross far behind the altar on the back wall and with a quiet, almost contemplative expression on his face. Not tortured, wracked with pain, but...almost beyond agony. Dib stood there in the walkway between pews, silently staring up at it for a few minutes in the absolute...

It was a humid day in Hearthome City in the Sinnoh Region. A radio signal was being broadcast live on public radio. A loud, brash voice coming from a woman in her late twenties or early thirties made itself present. The voice exclaimed “Wake up, Hearthome! That’s right! The Tower of Static is comin’ to you all at ZTTK on 96.7 straight to your face! This is your Mistress of Static, Stacy Ginga speaking! I know you’ve all heard it before, but you’re gonna hear it again; I am freaking sick of Pokemon infesting our city! You hear me? I am so sick of that sewer rat Pikachu and the other vermin I mistake for common items. One time I was taking o...

Introduction Iho adjusted her belt as she walked down the long corridor with its limestone floors and whitewashed walls. The cleats on the bottom of her ANBU boots clicked loudly across the hard surface and left an array of small chips in her wake. She must have walked this patrol thousands of times – another part of her job that had become a monotonous task. 15 years ago she was assigned to this small, secluded island off the coast of what remained of the once great Whirlpool Country. It was Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi himself who assigned her to be one of the many guards of the island's sole prisoner. And after the first five years, she was...

"Get that nerve, Rocket," Lylla said distractedly. Then, "Oh, I'm sorry, dear.  I wasn't thinking."Not so long ago Rocket's ears would have gone back, either at the implication that he'd made a technical error or because, Peter knew, the phrase "Get that nerve" brought back horrible memories of his early life.  But their tough little raccoon teammate had healed a lot since he met them, and especially after meeting Lylla a year ago."I'll get your nerve," he said with a wicked grin.Lylla chuckled.  "Later, honey." Through the banter Rocket's clever little hands were working.  Lylla waited a moment as he added another white disc - nerve block...

In Greek Myth, Lycaos was the extraordinarily cruel king of Arcadia. Lycaos sought favor with Zeus by offering him the flesh of a young child. Enraged, Zeus turned Lycaos into a wolf. The belief that certain people can turn themselves into animals, especially wolves, and roam the earth doing evil became widespread.The word "werewolf" means "manwolf" since wer is the Saxon word for man. Werewolves love to eat babies and corpses. Silver bullets or arrows are not the only thing that can kill a werewolf. After death, a werewolf resumes his human identity.In the Middle Ages, many Europeans believed wolves were tools of the devil and the animals...

Opening up atop the castle of the Duel Monsters spirit world's capital city, the storm was still going on, and there was a purple sphere of fog all around the part of the rooftop Thomas and Nathaniel were dueling in."Thomas..." whispered Maiden of the Aqua."Thomas..." came from Rosie."What do you think happened?" asked Henry."When Billinton played Underworld Circle-" answered Spencer. "-this purple sphere appeared."Nobody else said a word, and only gazed at the purple sphere.(elsewhere...)Inside the purple fog formed by Underworld Circle, Thomas seemingly found himself all alone..."Where am I?" he asked himself.Suddenly, the blue-haired bo...

After rescuing Thomas and saving the Underworld from Nyctelios, the group return back to Kadath for some rest. Thomas needed some time to recover after a month of fighting against Nyc. Luz's leg still felt the burns of that lava rock from Baoht. Her foot was still somewhat numb. But she knew that it wouldn't hinder her. When she really thought about it, toes weren't really needed anymore since humans weren't tree-climbing primates anymore. All they were for nowadays is for looking cute. She could still walk and jump like a monkey.*King: How's your foot? *Luz: Still a bit numb. But I can live with it. *King: Heh. Well, if it's numb, then I ...

Night 11- Dungeon-Capturer  Toya hiccupped as she kneeled by Baba’s deathbed, her eyes still welling with tears. Then, she felt a gentle hand on her shoulder. She turned to see Doruji, looking at her with concerned, bloodshot eyes. “…Come on, everyone,” Doruji said. “Baba’s funeral will be tomorrow.” “…Right,” Toya muttered. As everyone prepared to get Baba ready for her funeral, Aladdin stood outside with Shahra at his side, the latter nuzzling the former’s tear-stained cheeks. “Thanks, Shahra,” Aladdin said as he gently pet the side of her head, then he held his flute in his hand. “…Well, Ugo…a lot has happened while we were here. Even ...
