I didn''t plan for a dragon. hell hounds, oni and other demon like girls ya I know how deal with them. But a Dragon and a Kobold Army, No clue. I don''t want to lose my shot at being a wizard. Plz help Day two: Part one Tom got up in the frigid morning and started work on breakfast. From the freezer, he got out some deer meat and grab a beer out of the fridge. It would have been pleasant to have some eggs, but it was just best not to keep any that could go bad. Cooking the deer on an ancient wood burning stove, he added some seasoning. About half way through eating breakfast, the phone rang. Staring over at it with some foreboding, Tom picked it up and looked anxiously at the caller ID. [Unknown caller] Thinking to himself. ''That''s not good. Maybe it''s someone from work?'' It was his day off and they could need him if there was a call-out. In the paranoid part of his mind. ''You know it''s going to be her! Don''t answer it! She is going to find you.'' Arguing with himself. ''If it is her, then I''ll just have to go to the police.'' Hitting the answer button on the phone. "Hello?" There was a cheerful voice on the other side. "Hey there! Where did you run off to?" Tom could hear some giggling in the back ground of the call. It was most likely the kobolds. "Shit! Leave me alone. I already have a girl friend." This was a down right lie and they both knew it, he but had to try. "Yes, I know you are alone and it makes me happy to know that you think of as a girl friend already." There was more giggling in the back ground. This girl was stating to get under his skin. "No, I''m not and you can''t find me anyways." She seemed unbothered by this. "We will see about that my love. You will be mine." He could barely make out someone talking to her. "Ma''am, he is some were in the woods." The now more paranoid part of Tom''s mind ''Told you so.'' Moving with great speed, Tom removed the bratty and SIM card to his phone. Walking over to his bag, he placed the battery back in the phone and put it in air plane mode. Taking out the burner backup phone and putting the SIM card in the side pocket. The old one can still be useful even if it can''t make calls or get on the internet. Not having the time to get the burner setup and running, he put it in his pocket. Next he pulled out the second smoke grenade, some fishing line and duct tape. He jerry rigged it to go off if someone opened the door. After leaving his little gift at the door, Tom looked around for anything else that needs to be done. Closing off the air to the firebox for the stove and turn off the lights. Going out the back door and walking North for about one klick. After that, he slowly turned South-west to get back into town. Upon existing the woods and entering the first block, Tom made his way to the police station. When he got there, he could see standing just out side the doors there was a kobold. She was talking to a ogre police officer. He saw some money bring passed to the officer. Tom''s paranoia ''She''s got them all in her pocket.'' He may need to rethink this plan about going to the corrupt police. Walking passed the two and trying not to draw attention to himself, they didn''t seem to notice him. He weaved his way though backroads across town to his bro''s house. When Tom got there, the car was gone. Enjoying this book? Seek out the original to ensure the author gets credit. Tom''s paranoia ''They got him too!'' As he looked at the vacant spot, he remembered why. ''Damn¡­ That''s right, Jonathan did inform me was going to be working the weekends now. My paranoia is getting out of hand. I really need a beer.'' Walking round the modest house and pulled out his picklocks. Tom unlocked the back door and let himself in. Getting a beer form the fridge and ambled his way into the living room. After turning on the TV, he got out the burner phone to switch the service plan on. Tom sent a quick text off to Jonathan to let him know what was going on. After doing that, a sleepy cat girl walked in from the bedroom. "Hey, I thought... Who are you?'' Tom was utterly confused just as she was. "Who are you?'' That was not the answer she was looking for, she yelled. "Jonathan''s girl friend! Now who are you and how did you get in here?" Tom could see her claws extending. This could go side ways if he didn''t give her a good answer. "I''m Tom, Jonathan''s friend. Give him a call. I just texted him, so he knows him here." Tom''s paranoia ''They did get him! She''s working for them!'' She pulled out her phone and called someone. Form the sound of it she was talking to Jonathan. She didn''t look too happy at the end of it. "Ok he said that he got your text and for you to cool your jets" Tom raised the beer in the air a little and said. "That''s why I got a this." She looked displeased with him as she sat down across form him and grumbled. "I can see that. Now tell me why you are here and not at your place?" He sighed before saying. "Its a long story." With a smug grin on her face. "Problems with your dragon girlfriend" Her saying that did nothing good for Tom''s paranoia. "H-how did you know about that?" Seeing how unsteady this made him, she waved a hand at him. "Calm down, You have her smell all over you." Tom thought to himself and felt the dragon scale in his pocket. ''Shit, I still have it on me!'' Watching the TV and not relly looking at her, he replied to her early question. "Yeah, you could say she is mad at me." The cat girl had her phone out by this point and was going through it. "So what did you do or didn''t do?" After taking a gulp of beer. "She is trying to rape me and I have been on the run for all most a day now." She didn''t seem to care and just let out an ''oh'' as Tom rambled on. "Also she got most of her kobold army hunting for me to." She sat up a bit more after hearing this. "Oh, it''s that dragon. You should just give up. It will be easier on you in the end." Tom glared defiantly at her and replied. "No, I want to be a wizard." She got up and yelled. "You''re a virgin! So that''s why she is paying so much for info about you." Tom let out a small ''What'' as he stared stupidly at her in overwhelming terror. She smiled back at him and showed off her phone. "Yeah, I just texted her and she is on her way." Tom''s paranoia ''This is why we can''t have friends.'' Day Two: Part Two Tom jumped off the couches and ran over to his bag, but before he could get there she seized his arm. Looking over his shoulder to see her smailing at him and in a mocking voice she asked. "Where do you think you''re going?" Not wanting to drop the beer, he transferred it to the arm she had a hold of. "Ummmm, No where. I just need to get som''n out of my bag." She looked a bit surprised. "O-ok What are you getting?" Feeling round inside the bag, he found what he is looking for. Closing his eyes as he pulled the pin to a flash bang. Tom tossed it in the air, as he casually said. "Say cheese." Following its ark in the air, she only got out one word. "What-" There was a deafening bang and he felt something heavy hit the floor. He couldn''t a thing hear and he looked to see why she let go of his arm. She was rolling round on the ground and with her hands on her ears. She was probably swearing at him to. Thinking to himself. ''May have over done it. Don''t cat girl have really good hearing?'' He recovered the bag and ran out the back door. Lobbing the dragon scale behind him and jumped over the fence. Didn''t spill a drop of beer by the way. Making his way over to the train tracks and walked along them and pulled out the burner phone. Tom looked up on the internet when the next train is coming. Love what you''re reading? Discover and support the author on the platform they originally published on.''Looks like in about two hours, need to find a place in the shade til then.'' After about five minutes of walking, the burner phone started to beep. Looking done at it, there was a text from Jonathan. [Hey man, just got a call from my GF. What is going on bro?] Tom''s paranoia ''The dragon is going to get this number form him... somehow! Burn the burner phone!'' Not going to questing it this time, Tom drops the phone and stomped it into the ground. Walking for all most an hour, he could see the train yard. ''Cool, just need to wait for it to get here. That looks like a nice tree over there.'' Sitting in the shade of the tree, Tom got out the water flask and did inventory. -Three liters of water -Hand-pump purifier -Light weight tent -Sleeping bag -Lighter and waterproof matches -Three MRE''s -Fishing kit -First-aid kit -Roll of duct tape -Pair of socks -Bathroom towel -Toothbrush -One smoke grenade -Two flash bang -Knife and multi-tool -Picklocks -357 Magnum Revolver -12 silver bullets (six of them in the gun) There was no ten foot pole, so it was not best bug out bag, but it will have to do. Seeing the train off in the distance, he got prepared to jump on it. Then something small hit his lag. Looking down at the dragon scale and somewhat panicking, Tom examined the grassy field. There was no one out here but him. Tom''s paranoia ''Not Good!''

Day Six: Part One Alexander walked down an elegant hallway whit marble stone floor and silver inlaid wall trimming. He has heard of bigger mansions, but this is the largest one he''s been in. The new client wants to meet him in the outside parlor B-1. Two kobold commandos in tactical gear were escorting him to where it was. He would have been lost a long time ago if he tied on his own. After walking what seemed like an hour, they came to a large double door and guarded by four more kobold commandos. Over hearing one of them say. "Gray bishop at parlor B-1, over." She pressed down on the transmit button again and repeated what she just said. Letting go of the microphone and pointed to one of the other three standing there, she told her. "Run to HQ or find someone with working coms and report. Damn magic is making everything electrical go haywire." After sending off the runner, she turned to face him and gave him a quick once over. "Right this way Warlock Alexander." The other two kobolds guarding the doors opened them to reveal a garden that had many types of sitting chairs and an open bar whit a butler. He and the two escorting commandos walked over to Xia. She had an arm in a string and some bruising across her body. She was wearing a black dress and a gold necklace that ran through all the holes of a burnt out stun grenade. She did not have a smile when she greeted him. Did you know this text is from a different site? Read the official version to support the creator."Alexander, good to meet you." Xia gestured to the bar. "Would you like anything to drink?" Sitting down at the small table as he replied. "Yes, that be lovely after that long walk. Some green tea if you have it." The butler poured some in a cup on a smell plate and brought it over along whit an almond biscotti. After taking a sip and letting out a breath. "Now, how may I be of use to know my lady?" She passed a picture of Tom over him and a large vanilla folder. "I need you to find my husband and bring back him to me. Also kill the harpy that took and brainwashed him." As he looked through files, he said. "Oh I see, he has some magic in him. This will make it harder. I guess you know my what my asking price is?" She passed over a gold bar in one hand and said. "I know, but I''m paying more so the job gets done now." He had to hold it in two hands as he put in a bag that was too small for it. A loud crack rang out as he disappeared.

Day Six: Part Three and a Half Alexander was having a hard time tracking this boy down. He was protected form location spells. This alone was the proof he was a wizard and not a sorcerer or something else. On top of this his mana use was very efficient. Being all most impossible to find one thaum of mana round the place. Sitting in the dining room of June''s parents home, Alexander stared at the candle on the table. It did have some mana in it and he didn''t know why. There were other spots in the house like this one. Just mana, no spells, runes, charms or enchantments and it was driving him up the wall. Even along the way where he ran out of town. Little bits of mana here and there. After that it just ends at the edge town. He sighed teleported to the place and willed a horse into being. Patting it on its neck as he said. Stolen from its original source, this story is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings."Looks like I''m doing it the old-fashioned way. You ready for a long ran?" The magical construct nodded its head. A dog appeared next to him and then he summoned hundreds of hummingbirds. Looking round at all of them, he said. "Go find him." The small things bolted off to the West. After getting on the horse, Alexander and the dog followed them at a good speed. Day Six: Part Four "June, stop for the day. You''re doing a good job, but you need some rest." She fall back into the tail grass and closed her eyes. He thought she was going to take a nap as she laid there with a smile. She sat back up after a while and asked. "Off to the construction site?" Seeing no reason not to go, Tom did a quick nod and said. "Ok, let''s get a go''n." She settled herself behind him on the bike and Tom got them moving at another half-G. They were all most at the dam when a thought hit him. ''I need to get a space ship!'' He stopped in mid-air and asked June what she thought of the idea. She brought up a good point. "Wouldn''t your magic mess with all the science stuff on the ship?" His mouth hung open as he tried to work round this problem. Closing it and put a hand on his chin as he thought about it. Tom hit the kick starter and got the engine running. Then turning it off and looking back at her. "We will need to do some research on what can or cannot work. I know computers are right out. Me and Science are going to butt heads from time to time, but I think we can get a steampunk ship to work." Her brows lifted a little in surprise. "You talk about science like it''s a religion or person." He laughed at that. "It feels like it some times. Anyways, I can day dream about it later. Going to need money before I can do any of that." Slowly dropped down to the ground, Tom could see they did need the help of a wizard. The work crew of men and stronger looking mamono were starting next to an earth mover. It some how ended up on its side. They both got some attention as Tom landed them just outside the crowd of workers. He did the ''slow cool guy walk'' as he headed towards the big machine. The crew shifted out of the way and June followed behind him. Tom stopped about five feet from it. Standing next to him, June asked. "Think you can move it?" Looking over it over, he replied. "If the pay is right." He turned and pointed at a random worker in the crowd. "Where is your constructions chief at?" Unauthorized content usage: if you discover this narrative on Amazon, report the violation. None of them knew who he was talking to and took a step back. A tall green orc girl was left standing there. She looked around and then rolled her eyes. After grumbling something about her co-workers, she answered his question. "The big boss is behind you." He turned to look, but on one step forward. June cooed a small hum and pointed down. A very annoyed gnome looked up at him. Tom didn''t have to look at the orc to know she had a shit eating grin. Clearing his throat, he asked. "So, need any help from a wizard?" Give the earth mover a quick glance and then back at Tom. "I''ll pay you two if you can get it fliped back over and ''Only'' if it starts up. This worked for him and he asked. "Can you get some of your crew to tie ropes on this side and pull when I tell them to?" She started to call out some their names and they got to work. This thing was a lot bigger then crane at the junkyard and he would have to try something new. As all that was going on, he drew a symbol magic in the air for gravity. The earth movers treads slacken as the spell hit it and Tom howled a "Pull!" This was no drain on his mana. It was a floodgate opening. The crew pulled on the ropes and it turned right side up. He slowly let go of the spell and it lowed down. June was keeping him from swaying too much. The engine started up and the crew chief came over to him. "Good work wizard. If you come over to my office, I''ll write you a check." Tom tried to follow her and June helped him along. When they got inside, there was different types of chairs for them to sit in. Tom pick out a bean bag and June sat on a chair stool. The chief walked up some steps to sit at eye level with them. Then it hit Tom as she was writing out the check. "Hey, I can''t take a check." She cursed and ripped it up. "That''s right, your a wizard. I got some hard cash here." There were some noises as she want below her desk. Walking back round to the front of it, she dropped two thousand in Tom''s lap. Thinking he was going to two hundred and not two thousand, but this worked for him to. Before they lift he asked. "Should I come back tomorrow to see if you need any more help?" Pulling up the blinds and looking outside, she replied. "Yeah, I should have something for you to do wizard." Day Six: Part Five Still being low on mana, Tom asked June to drive them back to the hotel. She just got the engine started when a loud crack rang out. The engine died as an old man in a robe and hat, manifested out of no where. Alexander looked round and spotted the boy he was looking for. He was about to say something when a bag of white powder hit him in the chest. Detecting fire mana running throughout it, he tried to counter it with water mana. What he ended up happening was him being covered in hot bread dough. This could have been funny, but small bits of angry fire mana were now shooting at him like a shotgun. Alexander cast a quick shield spell and it rained over him like water. Next a railroad spike slammed into the shield and pierced half way through. The tip was red hot as he looked down at it. A fire tornado engulfed his shield. He found this amusing. "Oh noo, not fire. Come on boy, you can''t think this will work?" Tom didn''t say anything as emptied another bottle. Alexander notices what he was doing. The railroad spike was now a white hot. He was trying to cook him, also the bread dough was starting to smell good. Having enough of this noise, he cast a frost nova spell. The fire died out and he looked over at Tom. His legs were frozen in ice. Alexander began to taunt him. "Now if you are done with all this tomfoolery, we can do some real spell casting." They both glared at each other as Alexander said. "That pun was funny an-" Crying out in pain as Tom lanced a beam of light into his eyes. Getting to work on the ice round his legs, Tom hammered fisted one side and then the other. There was a huge fire ball barreling down at Tom from the sky. Sand dashed to him as a dome formed and the fire ball washed over it. After that Tom made four mini planets and found himself in a glass dome. Alexander laughing fiendishly as he cast his spell and Tom looked on in horror at the madman. It started to snow inside the glass dome. The mini planets shot out of the thin glass and rushed towards the old man. Casting another shield spell and the sand wrapped round it. Something heavy brushed against the shield and sand. A knife slowly cut through the shield and followed by Tom''s hand. Alexander panicked and sent a wave of lightning out. Tossed and tumbled in the dirt, Tom came to a stop looking up at the sky. The old man asked. Stolen content warning: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences."How did you do that?" Coughing some dirt out of his lungs before answering. "The slow knife penetrates the shield." This confounded him for a second. "I didn''t think to try." Gun shots rang out six times. All of them missed as they curved round Alexander. He looked over at June and she ducked behind a truck. "Oh there you are. I need to kill you." In the middle of casting a lightning bolt spell at her, Tom deposited all of his water mana in the spell matrix. A backlash of electricity ran through both their bodies as they laid there on the groud. Alexander couldn''t do anything as June stabbed the knife into his eye. His death broke the feedback loop and Tom passed out. Day Seven: Part one Tom''s eye shot open. He was in a room with a low ceiling and one window. Drak blue light overran the room as the light revealed stone walls. Turning his head to look outside and seeing an under water seen of a coral reef. Forcing himself to set up in the bed made of pillows and blankets. His clothes were clean and in a neat pile on the table next to him. Much to his dismay, this included his boxers. Before he could do anything about this, the door opened and June came inside with a food tray. She had a big smile, but Tom could tell she didn''t get any sleep. They tried to say something at the same time, but then he proceed on. "June, thank you for taking care of me. Now, get in bed and get some sleep." She headed him the tray and got under the blankets next to him. It was as if he cast a sleeping spell on her. As soon as her back hit against his hip, she was asleep. He did feel a bit uncomfortable being naked next to her, but he did see her like this. He didn''t have a lot of groud to complain and started to eat. Getting out of bed after eating, he had to hunch down to get dressed. Picking up the tray and walking outside the room, Tom found himself at the end of a long hallway. More doors run along both sides of it. At the other end, the hallway opened up to a large room and the noise of a lot of work being done. Walking down it, he stopped to see there was about twenty or so gnomes and man working on a long metal framework. Feeling a small finger poking his knee and looking down to find a annoyed face looking up at him. This book is hosted on another platform. Read the official version and support the author''s work."Oh, hey chief." Her expression didn''t change. "The kitchen is over here." Tom followed after her as she walked in between heavy equipment and materials. Yelling over a noisy metal grinder, Tom asked. "What are you guys working on?" Tapping an ear and shaking her head, Tom waited to get in the mess hall to ask again. "We are working on a submarine for under water construction." Ideals ran in and out of his mind and he ended up getting lost in thought. Something hit on the knee and got his head out of the clouds. "Hey wizard, you ok up there?" Smiling at her, he asked. "Did you come up with the design for it?" Some how looking more annoyed. "Yes and no. My sisters and I came up with the schematics. Putting on a thinking face as he asked. "Is there any way I can get all of you in a room to ask some questions?" Her expression changed to one of surprise. "All thirteen of us?" He looked down in shock and then said. "You maybe small, but you don''t look like rabbits." She kicked him in the shin. Day Seven: Part Two After limping to the kitchen and dropping off the tray, Tom got together a small assembly of five. Chief and three of her sisters sat across from Tom at a round table. "Ok wizard, what are your questions?" Taking in a breath to get his thoughts in order. "That sub out there, how easy would be change from construction to mining?" They looked at each other and then back at him. The oldest one said. "It would be a pain in the ass, but it could be done." Having a smile on his face as if he knew he would get that answer. "So, how about making it air-tight in a vacuum?" She was about to answer him when Chief''s eyes want wide open and nudging her arm. Turning to look annoyed at Chief. "What you overgrown hamster?" Chief was still nudging her arm and looking at Tom when she replied. "He wants to make a space ship. A ''Mining'' space ship." It must have been a family thing. She looked even more annoyed at her little sister. "And how are we going to even get something like that in space?" Not taking her eyes off him. "Kaylee, he got a hundred-forty-four ton dozer to float." All four of them were now looking at his smug face. Chief yelled out. "We need to call a council of engineering!" Before running out of the small room along with her three other sisters, she stopped at he door. "Hey Ship Wizard, do you think you can make grav-plating for the floors?" Blinking a couple of times and coming up with a working theory in his mind. "Earth''s gravity will over power anything I can make down here. I don''t even know if I can, maybe when we get in space." This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere. Turning round to go outside and yelling. "We''ll work it in as an add on." Tom got up and walked into the quiet drydock room. As he walked pass the mess hall, Tom could hear a lot arguing going on inside. Some of the guys were taking a smoke brake by an air lock. They stopped talking when Tom opened the inner door. "Hey man, what are you doing? You don''t have any diving equipment!" Telling as he closed it. "I''ll be right back, I need to get a big rock." It was a vary simple system for the outer door. It would not unlock if there was pressure difference from the inside. So, Tom made the water move away from the outside door. He walked in to a bubble air and stepped on to the water. It took about twenty minutes to find a rock as big as him and without too much green junk on it. As he walked back, a gnome diver swam up to him. Enlarging the air bubble to engulf her. She fell to the bottom and bounced a little. Spitting out the regulator and then cursed about crazy ass wizards. Tom put out a hand and had the water stand her up. "Come on Chief I''ll walk you home." Looking at the stone behind Tom, she asked. "What''s the rock for?" Not really knowing how to explain magic to her, He just said. "I need a baseline for Earth''s gravity and I think I can use this a gravity generator." Giving out a grunt. "Next time if you are going to go for a... Water walk tell someone." He let out a snort at water walk. "You terrified the welders and they came running in on the meeting." Putting his heads up in surrender. "Ok, ok. Lets get inside and I can get to work on this."

Day Seven: Part Four Chief was standing at the surface entrance when they got back. Tom sighed. "Hey Chief, let me guess. Someone tied to move it and they got turned inside out." She didn''t say anything as she worked over that sentence. "Wizard are you telling me I could have been turned inside out?" Giving her a quick smile. "Naa, but it could if you made it mad. That''s why I put the warning on it." She looked over at June. "Is your wizard always this crazy?" Glancing at Tom and then back at Chief. "I''ve developed a liking for it." The small gnome got a pained look when June leaned against Tom and giggled. "Would say you two need to get a room, but you already have one. Anyways, Tom read this rule book. June you may want to read it to, so you can remind him." Heading them a small three ring binder full of pages. Before going inside Tom asked. "Hey, you all did work round the fact that computers don''t work round me right?" She had a thousand yard stare. Trying to cheer up as he want on to tell her. "But everything else still works, for most part. Maybe they can work after I put some velocity on the ship and then power them back up?" This seemed to get her mind back in working order. She stared to pace back and forth. "Shit, we haven''t had this complex of a project all a long time. The sub was just something to kill time. Then you come along and say ''Hey lets make a space ship that can''t ues computers May-Be some of the time''. Now we have to rework the design after working in that damned rock that made everything in the room lighter! We are going to nee-. Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings. Tom bent over and grab her by an arm. In a gruff asian accent as he gestured with his hand to the elevator. "Go." Then making a walking animation with two fingers. "Play." She ran to the door and opened it and was bouncing from foot to foot inside. "Come on, come on, come on are you two going down or not?" As all three of them want down, she was fidgeting and hit the down button a couple of times. When they entered the drydock Tom yelled out. "Stop!" He shot out a crushing head into the air. June and Chief followed his gaze to a dark creature in the upper corner of the room. It was traped in a gravity well and doing all it could to get out. Tom dragged it over to him and got a good look at it. A cephalopod like thing with ten arms trying to grab onto anything it could as it spun round. "I don''t know how sent you, but I know you are looking through this thing. You may even be able to feel its pain. So heed my warning. Leave me alone." Tom closed his head and light flexed round a very small white sun. With a wave of his other head, the airlock opened and the blazing ball shot in the ocean. It bubbled and hissed as it cooled. After closing the airlock doors, Tom said. "For future designs, work fusion power into lager ships. I''m going to take a nap."

Day Eight: Part One It was the first time Tom woke up with June in his arms. She felt so lightweight and warm. His sleep nervous system kicked in and he pulled her closer. That''s when his stomach made its presence know. A civil war broke out between Sleep and Hunger. In the middle of it, a new desire entered the field of battle. Sex being man''s third basic need, Lust made a good push against Sleep, but the smell of food was all Hunger needed to win. It sat at the top of his mind as it yelled ''Food!''. Panic ran up to Hunger and kicked it in the side of its head. ''If I''m holding June, then who brought me food?'' Tom''s eyes opened and he shifted the infrared light entering them to visible light. Looking over her at his cool dark gun and magnetically pulled it to his bright red hand. The sound of the hammer cocking back caused the gnome to freeze. It looked like she was pushing a cart full of food. "Chief?" Swallowing some spit and nodding as she tried not to show any fear. "Yeah, I got us some food here." Hunger came up behind Panic and garroted it. As Panic was being strangled, Hunger whispered in its ear ''fffooood''. "Let put away my gun. Next time please knock on the door." Tom was reaching over June to put away his gun when she woke up. Not really thinking about it before she did it, June kissed him on the lips and then said. "Good morning." Lust saw its chance, but Hunger ran over in a barbarian rage. Tom froze for a second before saying. "Umm, morning. Chief got us some breakfast, are you hunger?" You could almost hear the crack as her head snaped up. June glared at her as she walked over to Tom. Chief smiled as passed him a plate and said. Unauthorized duplication: this tale has been taken without consent. Report sightings."That''s for June." Passing it along to her and then he was headed another one. Chief sat down next to him and began to eat from her own plate. Wile they ate, June and Chief shot rapid fire death stare at each other. After he got done eating and looked the cart with more food on it. His bladder cut a deal with his stomach. "Hey I''ll be right back. I need to make more room." Both of them let out a happy "Ok!" as he got up to leave. As soon as Tom was out of the room, June reached for her. Dragging her over by the throat and bringing the little rat up to eye level. June growled out. "What the hell do you think you are doing?" Chief managed to say as she was being choked. "You don''t deserve him." She did try to kick at June, but her legs weren''t long enough. Then she was dropped to the blankets and June leaned in. "I don''t deserve him?" Coughing a bit and trying to catch her breath before answering June. "I''m making him a space ship and all you are doing is playing house wife. I can do move him for then you ever could." June smiled at this. "I''ll let you in on a little secret. He chose me. I get mental massages from him. I know what he wants the most. When the order comes in, I''m go- Tom walked back in and both of them turned to smile at him. He Looked back and forth between and then asked. "Is everything ok? I thought there was some yelling going on. Chief gave him a carefree answer. "It was just girl talk." They both grinned at each other, but their eyes said it all. This was not over. Day Eight: Part Two Tom got to work on the stone after eating. He wanted to have more control over it. Right now it was making the rooms gravity lighter. It would be nice if he could turn it off and on or change the strength of gravity. Not knowing the magic symbols for mental mana was not going to stop him. Connecting the gravity symbols with lines of mental mana could let him control it or give it a mind of its own. If need be, starting over was not that big of a deal. June and Chief picked up their argument again as Tom worked. "You''re not going to get him, so you shouldn''t even try." Chief just rolled her eyes at this. "Sounds like you are afraid that I will." She wasn''t hassled by this. "What ever you say little girl." The irritated gnome looked up at her. "I am not a girl. I''m a full-grown woman." June ran a head along herself to show off the curves of her body. Then looked over Chief. "Yeah you''re cute, but I''m sexy." She gave June a fearsome stare. "Look here bird brain, I have a lot more smarts then you. If you did, You would give up already." June smirked at her. "Ok, I''m going to go get some popcorn to watch you crash and burn." She started to walk to the kitchen when Chief called out to her back. "We''ll see who is right when we throw you out." June just chuckled as she walked away. Chief was cursing as she walked over to Tom. "Hey Tom, is there anything I can help with?" He was broken out of his trance and looked round for a second. The story has been illicitly taken; should you find it on Amazon, report the infringement."Hum... Now that I think about it, can I get a look at the new ship design?" Peering at the mess hall through the heavy equipment in the room and then back at him. "They''re still working on it. I''ll try to get you something to look at soon." A question pop up in his mind. "Why aren''t you in there help them?" Getting nervous and looking everywhere else, but him. "I was told to... keep an eye on you." Tom sighed. "Is it because I kept breaking the rules?" Not making eye contact with him. "Yeah, I''m supposed to try to keep you out of trouble and help with anything you may need." He muffled something under his breath as looked over at the mess hall. Spotting June eating popcorn by the wall as she waved at him and he gave a nod back. "Ok Chief. If I need you, then I''ll call for you. I''m going get back to working on this." Thinking she was getting somewhere with him. "Any time deer." When she turned back to gloat at June, but saw she was talking to someone who was not there. As Chief walked up to her, June had popcorn in a head and it was slowly going towards the gound at an angle. It hit something invisible and then she threw the popcorn up in the air. She frowned at June. "I did not ''crash and burn'' like you said. If he needs any help, then he''ll call me over." June guffawed. "Hey Kendra." She sighed and looked up at June. "What?" Smiling down at Kendra. "Does he even knows your name?" Day Eight: Part Three June and Kendra exchanged vulgar comments back and forth over the next hour as Tom worked. It was starting to come to a head. Kendra had a cold look in her eyes and June''s feathers were standing on end. Kendra pick up a large wrench in two hands. "If you keep leaking shit out of your mouth, I have a tool that can fix it." Have a quick put-down at the ready, June let it drop. "What this? The little mousey whats to have a go at the raven?" Before either of them could act, Tom yelled as he examined the stone. "Chief! Get the room ready for zero-G." Her eyes went wide. "What? In how long and for what amount time?" Blinking has eyes before looking over at them. "When ever the room is ready. No idea how long it can keep at zero-G. It may slowly increase gravity back to earth normal over time or give out all at once." Give the room a brisk survey of all the tools, materials, equipment and metal skeleton of the sub. "Can we do the first test in the mess hall?" Thinking about it for a second before just asking why. "Yes. But if we are going to ues it on a ship, it be nice to know what this thing can do. I don''t know if it will work on all of stuff in here or only some of it." The author''s content has been appropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon. Smiling at her great plan. "We can move heavier and heavier things into the mess hall. If that works out, then we can do a test run in here." Tom nod. "Cool, I''ll let to go talk you your sisters about it. Me and June are going to go to get something to eat." Feeling dejected as she asked. "I can''t come with you?" One of his eyebrows shot in the air. "Don''t you have to go argue with them over how to do it or something?" June chimed in. "We could ask them if Kendra can come with us and let them argue." Looking like a caveman as his eyebrows lowed and knitting to together. "Who is Kendra?" The question hit Kendra like a blow to the gut. "It''s ok, I''ll get everything in order. You two can go eat." Slowly, she turned and walked away. He facepalmed and whispered to himself. "Ah shit, that was a Class-A fuck up." Putting his hands on his hips. "Kendra, tell them to get ready and you''re coming with us to eat." She looked back at him. "I am?" He sighed. "Yes, go tell and er will get go''n." All most tripping over some tools and other things as she ran off to the mess hall, June thought about throwing her off the bike. Day Eight: Part Four June got behind Tom on the bike and wrapped her arms round him. Kendra climbed the side of it and pushed aside some of June''s feathers. She sat down in Tom''s lap and held onto his thighs. Tom made a grunt and picked up Kendra in one arm round the stomach. He made some adjustments, then put her back down on his lap. "Ok, you two ready?" Both of them give him a yes and they started to fall up. Kendra panic a little and held on even tighter. As they stopped in the sky, she heard June laughing. "Hey, whats so funny?" There was a snicker from her before she answered. "You were screaming." Kendra exasperated a retort. "Was not!" Tom patted her on the head. "You did and its ok." Feeling like a kid, she stopped talking. Tom put them at a half-G fall sideways, there was more screaming and laughing. Not a lot happened at the restaurant and they were back in all most no time at all. Kendra''s sisters had the mess hall ready for Tom. It was empty of all the tables and chairs as he moved the stone into there. June walked in with him as he got it in place. Giving it a mental pull and the rooms gravity tuned off. Tom was standing there as June swam round the room. When he looked outside, all of the gnomes were outside. Stolen from its original source, this story is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings."Its Zero-G training class. Who is going to come in first?" Wanting to look good in front of him, Kendra stepped in and jumped to the pipe on the ceiling. No one else moved in side as they watched June and Kendra move round. Tom tuned off the gravity where they were standing and pulled them inside one at a time. Oh yes, there was a lot of cursing that day. Most of it had Tom, wizard or Kendra in it somewhere. He would go round and help stop anyone spinning out of control or at a dead stop in the air. One of them asked. "Hey wizard, why are you not learning how to move in Zero-G?" He ''Walked'' up to her. "Because I really don''t need to." Not having good points to bring up she rolled her eyes and side. "Yeah, you got me there." It was pass ten at night when Tom called it quitting time. The Stone was still going and they left some heavy stuff in there for the night. June notice Kendra was following to their bed room. "Hey Tom, go on head. Me and Kendra need to talk about something real quick." Not turning to look at them, he just waved and said. "Ok." He laid down and got to sleep. Day Eigth: Part Five Something broke Tom out of his sleep. Feeling someone on top of him, He made a ball of light. June was crawling on top of him in the nude. "June, what the hell?" She shielded her eyes from the brightness of the light. "I umm, thought maybe we could have some fun?" Deep down in his gut, he knew this was all wrong. "What happened with you and Kendra?" Keeping a hand up so a shadow laid across her eyes to look down at him as she sat up. The other hand started to roam over his body. "Oh, she wanted to sleep in here with us and I told her off." Tom gub the wandering hand to make it stop. "Ok, but why are you doing this?" Surprise filled her expression. "You don''t like doing this with me?" Suspicion and panic were running loose in his mind. "And how many times has it been now?" Smiling as she slid and squirmed to rest on his abdomen. She bent over to kiss him and stopped before saying. "I''ve lost count." The world turned its-self up side down. Hitting the ceiling hard whit a ''oof'', June had a hurt look in her eyes. Tom looked back at her with an icy gaze. "Where is June and who are you?" Trying to keep up the act. "I am June!" There was a crunch as the bones in her right hand were crushed under a heavy gravity spike. Yellow blood covered her chest as she clutched it. He could see it the hand was knitting itself back to together. "Where, Is, June?" Give him a yearning look. "I can be your June or whoever you want me to be." He watched her in wonderment as she started to change. Her arms and lags got smaller and before he knew it, Kendra was looking down at him. Anger shot through him. "Tell me where they are and I will consider adding you to my harem." Stolen content warning: this tale belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences elsewhere. Joy over came her. "Zaheera his June in a white van going East and ummm, I eat the little one to get her memories." That''s all Tom needed to kill this thing. He amped up the gravity. A Yellow pool of blood was on the ceiling as he got dressed. Before leaving the drydock, he grabbed a pair of goggles. The bike was gone when he got outside. There was a long black feather on the ground and he picked it up. Poured mana into it and as he yelled. "Show me!" The feather hovered in his hand and spun to point East. Putting on the goggles and warped gravity round himself. It pulled him forward and pushed him from behind. Looking down at the feather to see where it was leading him, that''s when he noticed the destruction he was causing in the city. Blown out window glass and cars were levitating or hitting into buildings. He gained some altitude and didn''t think about how many people he may have killed. As he flying, the feather spun round to point behand him. Momentum had a nervous breakdown when he stopped on a dime and turned to go back. Lights for two city blocks want out. He found the white van stalled next to the road. When he landed, the back doos of the van opened and four guys with gun shot at him. The rounds were pulled into a magnetic cage. The bullets dropped to the ground as they were flattened like pancakes. June came of the van next whit a gun. Before she could pull the trigger it was tugged from her. "June, what did she do to you?" Laughter came from inside the van. It cut out as the roof and walls were torn apart. Zaheera found herself next adrift to June. "Undo what you did to her or die." Knowing she had him by balls and smiled at him. "And whats in it for me?" A gravity spike crushed her brain and June started convulsing.

Day Nine: Part six After drive through town was quiet for the most part, But when they entered the interstate highway it was a huge traffic jam. Tom sat there in the SUV thinking to himself. ''I don''t have to put with traffic anymore so why am I now?'' Tom made a announcement to the kobolds. "Ok everyone if you have any device that has an electronic computer that is on, Turn it off now." There was some rustling as the girls turned off random inside the SUV. When they all got quiet, Tom levitated them up. He looked nonplussed at all of the stuff drifting round and also at the panicking Kobolds. He gave them some time to adjust as Tom plucked a book out of the air. It want into grate detail about a portal mage opening gateway into his world fifty years ago. Zabel tapped him on the arm. "Sr. everyone has calmed down now." They were all tensed up, but not screaming anymore. Tom smirked. "For now." The SUV fell sideways whit five gravitys behind it. Moving seemed to be more relaxing to them as their death grips loosed and Tom asked out loud. "So how did Silent get that curse on her?" Jester started to laugh. "I know, but she don''t want me to tell anyone." A case of literary theft: this tale is not rightfully on Amazon; if you see it, report the violation. Silent sat there observing m&ms two slowly orbiting each other in the zeor-G. Tom hummed. "If I know what happened, I maybe able to dispell." She turned round in her set and made some hand gestures at Jester. "Ok, Ok. I tell him. She was at a bar one night and drunker then all hell. There was a witch and Silent tried to take her man. Next morning she woke up in the barracks, hanging upside by spider webs." After thinking this over in has mind. "I''m too sleepy do anything about it right now, but I get a good look at it tomorrow." Tom was given a salute from Silent before she turned back round. Zabel cleared her throat. "Sr. we should be there soon. Can you put us down by the road. If we try to land in the base, they may shoot at us if we don''t make radio contact." Asking her as he set them down on the ground. "So, why dose the clan have so much military hardware... and paying for it?" She hesitated before answering. "Sr. I don''t know if I should be the one telling you this, but here it goes.

Day Ten: Part Three ''Sr? What is wro-Ah! My eyes, they burn!'' Tom kept his right eye open with will power as the pain died down. Rubbing at the left one as if there was soap in it, he watched on in wonderment and dismay. After Silent redid two of the buttons in the wrong place, she put a long scratch on her face. She unzipped her pants and twisted them round her waist. Next she tried messing up her hair and asked. "Sr. how do I look?" "Like your batshit crazy." Silent picked up Zabel''s cup and poured some warm tea in her hair. She examined herself in the mirror on the wall. Did some tweaks here and there to her hair as she asked. "How about now Sr?" As he critically inspected her and still couldn''t discern what she was up. "What look are you going for?" She grinned sheepishly at him. "Like it was the best sex of my life Sr." Tom sighed as he turned away from her and moved his breakfast tray back to his lap. "You are going to have to take you bra off." Thinking that if Zabel could send him dull pain over the mental link, then maybe Tom could send her his memory of what is happening. ''Did you get that?'' ''Affirmative Sr, but what is she doing?'' ''That''s what I like to know.'' Silent''s bra hit the ground. "Sr. can you play along whit my prank?" Grunting before he answered "This better be good or I will put the curse back on you." Zabel inquired anxiously. ''Can you really do that Sr?'' Enjoying this book? Seek out the original to ensure the author gets credit. ''No, but she doesn''t know that.'' Silent''s voice filled with alarm. "Understood Sr. It will be. You can turn round now if you like." As he did, Silent open the door to go outside. She walked with a slow limp and left the door ajar. The other three gasp at her appearance. Jester ran over to her and helped her to a seat. "What did he do to you?" Silent grinned in pain. "He did it." Jester looked at her in shock. "Tom removed the curse?" Silent sat back in her chair. "He had to used sex magic to remove it, but it not done yet. My body couldn''t hold up long enough. Jester you have to go in next." All three of them didn''t utter anything as their mouths hung open. "Jester, there''s not much ti-" Silent stopped talking and moved her mouth as if she was. Jester stood straight up with a distressed expression. "I''ll do it, but only for you." She turned round and trooped over to Zabel''s office. Hesitating at the door for a second, Jester opened it and walked inside. Tom was done eating and moved the empty tray to Zabel''s desk. "Ok, come over here so I can look you over." Her voice grew unsteady as she closed the door. "Should I get undressed now or are you going to do it?" Tom sighed regretfully. "She is messing with you." Jester stared at him with dead eyes. "That bitch..." She spun round and jerked the door open. "You bitch!" Tom could hear Silent''s uncontrollable laughter filling the room. "Hey Jester, did you rock his world?"

Day Ten: Part Five Tom unpacked the small minigun as he easily held it in one hand. "What is it?" Information came spilling out of Tick. "Its a XM556 Microgun. Five point fifty-six caliber gun with a rate of fire of two thousand rounds per minute. The length of its six barrels is ten inches and the total weight of the weapon system is sixteen pounds unloaded." She became self-conscious when she realized everyone was staring at her. "What? Tom asked and I told him." Tom raised an important question. "And umm, what is the biggest ammo box I can carry?" Working in Tom physique as she considers an answer. "About three thousand rounds Sr." All of the armor plates began to levitate and float over to Tom. "That will do. Tick and Tock, can you two go get it please. Zabel, how do I put this on?" They had to use Tom''s rank to obtain all the ammo the squad would need. Tick may have added some extra goodies when no one was looking. By the time they got back with a heavy cart load of odds and ends, Tom was in his full kit. Analysing himself in the office mirror, it seemed like someting was missing. There was a snap of Zabel''s fingers. "Sr. I know what you need, let me go get it." She went over to her locker and draw out a long light green scarf with tassels. On one side it had a darker green checker board pattern. Zabel bring it to him and found herself hovering next to Tom as she cloaked it round his neck and face. The microgun flew to him as he let her drift to the floor. Jester made her judgment known from the other room. "Hey boss, you look like that one guy from that anime with the kitsune in it." This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere. Cocking his head to the side. "I don''t think I know that one." Tick and Tock came in the barracks pushing the overburden cart and giggling about something. When they saw Tom, they awkwardly tried to stop and were dagged by the husky ammunition cart for all most a foot. Both just stared at him from behind the ammo boxes and specialized equipment on the cart. Tock spoke up first. "Hey Serg, your new boyfriend is scary." A thrown pencil bounced off Tock''s head with a ouch. As Tock was gently rubbing the spot on her head, Silent murmured from the table. "I would have used a different S word. Zabel throw another pencil at her this time. Silent dropped the card she was holding out of surprise as it dawned on it her. "Oh right, you all can hear me now... Shit." Tom rolled his eyes. "Ok everyone let''s get ready to go." They focused their anxious attention on him as Zabel asked. "Sr. where are we going?" Lifting the microgun and comfortably placing it on his shoulder as he left a hand on it to keep it balanced. "To the Dark Sun Guild and killing them all." A new question as brought up by Jester. "I''m good at getting off base whenever I want, but how are we going to do that with out orders?" Tom pointed a finger at her. "Aw, but you do have orders. Xia told Zabel if she finds me, she is to report it to her. So you are going to go look for me at the gnome ship drydock in Tampa." Silent raised her careless hand in the air and Tom granted permission to speak. "Why would we look there?" Tom smiled knowingly under his concealing scarf. "Because I wisely made Zabel head of security for the space ship they are building for me." Day Ten: Part Six Tick promptly began to dole out the ammo to everyone as they got ready. She showed Tom two large metal boxes with adjustable straps. The linkless feed system for microgun didn''t take to long to learn how to use. Now that they were all kited out, Tock asked Tom a reasonable question. "Sr. how are we going to get you to the SUV without being seen?" Tom vanished from sight as a retort. She observed the empty spot he was last seen with an oh. Zabel walked round Tom and turned to face everyone. "We will walk in a line with me off to the side. Sr. stay behind me so no one bumps into you." No one could identify any problems with this set up and got into formation to march out. Passing by the MAX suits in the vehicle pool, Tom mental asked Zabel. ''So, anyone in the squad that can operate one of them?'' ''Sr. we can''t take one.'' ''That''s not a no. Who is it?'' ''If one goes missing, the base will be put into lockdown Sr.'' ''Its you right?'' ''We don''t have anywhere to put it in the SUV Sr.'' ''I could-'' ''Sr. it''s not going to work. If you use magic, you will kill its computers.'' Eyeballing one as he walked by. ''Soon.'' Zabel flicked a light backwards slap at his leg as she walked. ''Sr. would you stop thinking about me running round in it and blowing stuff up. One day, ok?'' Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon. ''Ok...'' She ignored her squadmates snickering about something. When they got to their high-profile vehicle, Zabel told them she was going to inform the chief quartermaster they were going to take the SUV out of Gun Tower. When she returned from that undertaking, she sat next to Tom with Jester on the other side of him. Tock passed her the CB radio and she asked HQ to open the door to let them out. There was some confusion in the voice as they respond. "Beta-6, we don''t have your itinerary or orders, over." Zabel explain what happened in the cafeteria and that she was going to the private shipyard to seek Tom out. "Understood Beta-6. Happy hunting, over." In the background as HQ approved the green light for the mission, Xia could be heard yelling furiously. "I want that company bought out right-" The large hangar door began rose up from the ramp and Silent put the SUV it into gear. As they drove along the well-worn road, Tom remarked thoughtfully. "You know, we should go to the drydock at some point this week." Tick asked why from her minigun turret and he describe the events of his last day there. When he got done, Jester stated bluntly. "Someone made a terrifying rock of doom and he is my boss." Silent commented wryly as she turned onto the highway. "Yeah, I''m changing my S-word to Tock''s."

Day Ten: Part Eight Tock and Jester returned to the inside of the SUV as their superiors walked down to the second level. Tick rotated her turret like an evil villain to talk to all of them. "So, it would seem that the sergeant is now the First Claw''s secretary." Jester took in a joyful gasp of air, but before she could say anything. Tock put up a shaking finger as her voice cracked with fear. "No, no, no. Don''t say it." Tom altered his vision to infrared as Zabel walked next to him. Dull red lines of electricity or water ran through the cold dark concrete as he examined the walls. On the other side of the garage, there were rows of different type parked vehicles. Two large ogre girls patrolled in between them and a third was standing over by a fire exit door. They held huge wooden clubs and had a flood light on their shoulders. Zabel asked over the mental link. ''Sr. should I take them out?'' ''I got them.'' All three of the orges fall over with a echoing rumble. ''What did you do to them Sr?'' ''I crushed their brains. Don''t know if the hivemind picked upped what happened to them or not.'' ''A hivemind is here? Can just the two of us do this mission Sr?'' ''Yeah, we got the dakka for it.'' They slowly ambled to the door that was being guarded. Tom pulled out a small mirror and box of fireworks poppers as he let the microgun hang on its sling. He placed the mirror against the door and used some divination mana. ''There are five guys with P90''s and one of them is sitting behind sandbags with a 50-cal. After them is a staircase that goes down. Seems like the hivemind knows we''re here.'' The story has been illicitly taken; should you find it on Amazon, report the infringement. Zabel got to one side of the door as Tom put away the mirror. ''Breach and clear Sr?'' ''I''ll pull the door out of the wall-'' He flourished the box of poppers. ''and then toss in some of these.'' She set Tom the memory of him fire balling her jeep off the road. ''Is it going to be like that Sr?'' ''Um, no. It should be more like a flash bang and sorry about that.'' ''Its ok Sr. I world have done the same thing.'' Tom did a three count and wrenched the filthy door off its hinges with a magnetic tug. The three poppers shot into the dingy room like angry hornets and then exploited with force of TNT. This cause a tiny chain reaction as some of the ammo inside cooked off. Tom stomped his foot as he emitted an EMP through the under ground floors and Zabel entered the smoking room. She finished off one of still living men and put two HEAT rounds into a minotaur run up the stairs. Tom fell in behind her as walked across the small room. ''That was not a flash bang Sr.'' ''I way have overdone it a bit.'' As they walked carefully over the dead minotaur, Tom dropped another popper down the chipped and cracked stairs. Using a unique mix of fire and Electromagnetic Mana?, he got the favorable reaction he was looking for. Random gun fire shot up at them after the flash bang. Zabel leaned over the railing and shot two round bursts into an armed man and zombie. Even after losing the lower half of her decaying body, the zombie kept firing her gun. Zabel put one more explosive round into her deformed skull. They levelled their guns at the heavy metal door at the bottom of the staircase. Steadily advancing all the way down, Tom asked.

'' Sr.'' Day Ten: Part Twelve Searching through some of the rooms in the evacuated installation, Tom and Zabel found clothing for the people they rescued. Zabel led them out as Tom passed out glowing rocks to everyone and took up the rear-guard. The last guy Tom gave a glow stone to, slowed down to walk next to him. He had the appearance of someone blessed by Cthulhu with one long squid arm and smaller ones placed randomly over his body. He did not face Tom as he spoke in a low raspy voice. "Hello Tom Fire Tail..." The man paused before saying anything else as they walked along the gloomy hallway. "This is the part where you pull out your six shooter." The ominous sound of Tom''s revolver caulking back could be heard over the foot steps of the odd group marching hopefully in the dark. He felt the muzzle press against the back of his head as it levitated. "Oh good, that''s one more point for I''m not crazy. Now, where was I? You are coming to a crossroads in time. There is no telling what will happen next. Xia will be on her way here to see you. How you prepare for this will determine the out come." After making up his mind not to shot him on the spot, Tom asked. "And how do you know all this?" The off-kilter man smiled. "I can not say his name, but some know him as T????h??e?? ?????O?????n???e???? ???W???h??o??? ????S??l??u???m?????b???e??r????s???." A glowing stone flown by the cultist''s head as a woman with four spider legs on one side of her back turned round to scold him. "Damn it Paul! We told you not to talk about your creepy ass god. Now I have a headache and thanks by the way." Tom seemed to be unaffected by the bizarre way Paul said the name as she faced away from them in a huff. Striding through the kitchen most of the starving ex-prisoner seized whatever food they came across. No one seemed to mind the dead bodies as they ate. Paul was the only one who didn''t grab any food. "Also, you don''t need to worry about women you helped. She was going to kill herself even though I told her there is going to be a cure made for them. No, it''s not going to work on me. I''m... different." Paul half laughed and/or coughed as they walked up the stairs to the parking garage. Tom needed a second opinion as he reconsidered shooting the strange man. ''So... That was weird. What do you think?'' ''We should keep an eye on him Sr. Also, that part were he talk about his god, it kind of blurred for out me at the end. What did he say Sr.?'' ''I''m not going to touch it with a ten-foot pole. We''ll keep a eye on him and forget about Th?a?t part.'' ''Um, Yes Sr.'' Tom did put away his gun after awhile as they footslog up to the first-floor garbage heap. At the top of the spiral ramp, There were bullet holes all the place. Tick got to use her mini gun on a car that was trying to leave the party early. Sitting to off the side in a junk pile, the remains of the vehicle looked like it got into a fight with a wood chipper and lost. When the long parade got out of the foul-smelling dumping grounds, Silent was having an argument with two police officers. Tom stomped over to them as he began to interrogate the officers. "You two, what are you doing here?" Silent came to attention. "Sr. these two want us to come down to the police station for questioning." As she was explaining this, two more police vehicle turned onto the road and stop behind the first patrol car. Tom glared at them waiting for an answer. The orc officer stared at Tom''s rank insignia with alarm. Her partner got a mocking smile as he scrutinised Tom''s out outfit. "Hey, go do your cosplay R-Ping somewhere else kid." A green fist hit him the solar plexus with a oof. Before the police man could crumpled to the ground, she grabbing him round the waist with one arm and did a bow to Tom. "First Claw, please forgive my partner. We will be leaving if you allow it." The author''s narrative has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon. Tom made a shooing away gesture and asked Silent. "Whats that ETA on the transport?" As Silent spoke with Tom, the orc ran back to her parked car and threw her wheezing partner in the back of the black and white vehicle. Yelling at the other four officers who just got there as she opened the drive side door. "We are leaving! Now!" The three police cars pealed away from the apartment building as Tom and Silent wandered over to SUV. After getting out of the damaged suit, Zabel changed back into her combat kit. The half spider girl awkwardly walked up to Tom and asked. "Um Paul said we could we take off if whenever we like, is that true?" Unhooking the micogun as he answered. "Yeah, you all can go if you like. I was just going to make sure that you got home." She did a happy little clap and smiled. "Cool, I''ll go tell them." Only one person chose to walk home when she told them the good news. By the time the convoy got to run down apartments, Tom had a new ammo box on his back and ate some food.They were about ready as they could get, but for one thing. Tom notice how exhausted Zabel seemed as the leading APC slowed down. ''Hey bell, need a pick me up?'' ''No, I should be good Sr.'' ''Too bad.'' Tom sent some mana over the mental connection to see if he could. Zabel was more prepared for the terrific jolt this time as she sucked in a steadying breath. She glared up at him with a punched to his hip. Jester naturally thought this was hilarious. The other three kobolds gazed at Xia as she steped out of the black armored vehicle with dread in thier alert eyes. Xia strode over to Tom with a fierce scowl as she glanced uneasily between him and Zabel. "My dear, why did she strike you like-" Her mood soured as she caught something in the foul air. "Sergeant, maybe you can tell me why Tom''s delicious scent is mixed with yours and how I can all most tastes his mana dripping off you?" They made eye contact with each other and thought. ''Oh shit, the scarf'' ''Oh shit, the mana'' Tom sighed and looked at Xia. "We need to have a talk." Still scowling at Zabel, she said. "No need, I''m going to execute this trash and then we will go home." He took a step forward and pulled out the bottle mixed with water and sand. "No your not and I''m not yours." Focusing on Tom as she regarded him. "And why can''t I have you? What is wrong whit me? I can give you whatever you want." Groaning as he uncaped the bottle. "Because all I want is to be left alone. If you don''t, I''m just going to kill you." Pointing at the rotting apartments before she could say anything. "Take a long walk in there and think about the last group of people how didn''t listen to me." Xia looked like she was about to cry by the end of it. "But I want to have children." Tom took in a deep breath and let it go. "Come here..." The seven foot tall woman trembled as she got closer. Tom rased a head to her abdomen and gently poured mana into it. She went completely rigid and then dropped to her knees as the mana was cut off. Clutching her glowing stomac, she gasped out a eager question. "What, did, you do?" Tom toss back his head at the men behind him. "I gave you the mana, now go get fucked." Paul produced a wicked smile as he pushed a man with blue and green scales to the front of the group. Xia seized him and dashed into the APC. Everyone undoubtedly heard her yell "Get out!" as kobolds darted from the doors and hatch on top. Tom limp over to the SUV. "Take me back to my office. I need some sleep." Chuckling delightedly at how the cultural events unfolded, Paul started to followed Tom. A charming girl with one cat ear asked bluntly. "Hey, whats so funny?" Pausing to answer her. "Its upon us." They all rolled their eyes at him as one of them asked anxiously. "Whats upon us?" "Th??e? ??E?????????n?d???????????????"
