Calixte ArcI wanted to keep her talking, but it was going difficult Emer Gallagher trying to kill me. I knew from my time in Morocco that she was far too skilled in air combat to take things lightly on her. She appeared through one of the fluffy white clouds, directly on my left. I turned my controller down and my plane sailed below her bullets. Some of them were glowing like a rainbow, but they were drowned out in a wave of bullets."What's wrong, Prince Calixte?" Emer called over the radio. It sounded like she was giggling and that made my blood boil. She was laughing at me, that bitch. "Where are you going? Don't leave, we're just starting to dance!"She angled her plane down and my shields flared to protect me from the rail of bullets. I pumped my mana into the front of the shields, counting on my high reserves to get me through. Then I turned my plane upwards, her bullets deflecting harmlessly off my shields. Though as each bullet made contact, a small amount of my mana was ripp

Calixte ArcMy shields flared to life as her gunfire struck me. However, unlike before, when she entered the cloud, she didn't know where I was. So when my shields came to life, I changed the system from the A1 over to the main system and unleashed the enchanted forest.Three enchanted bullets later and her shields had shattered. Emer seemed to know how vulnerable she was because she tried to flee. It was too late, however, as I had my sights on her. She was beautiful and I hated what I had to die, I didn't enjoy killing, but she was going down. Two more enchanted bullets and her engine were blown out.Surprisingly, Emer was laughing over the radio as she fell through the air. "You've gotten a little better, princeling. Not too much, but a little."I snorted, turning my transmitter on. "I'm sorry, would you remind me who doesn't have their engines?" As she fell through the air, I turned my plane down after her."Okay, you have me there." She was laughing. Still laughing. It pissed me
Arc Chronicles Euphemia
Euphemia Arc"You couldn't have found... Someplace bigger?" my mother asked. The room was bigger than some of the apartment suites in the city, but of course, she wanted something bigger. I shouldn't be surprised, she was an empress."I'm sorry, mother, this is the biggest guest room we have," I told her. One of my Imperial Guards shook his head and while I agreed with him, this wasn't the place to shake his head. So I glared at him and when he caught sight of my look, he looked away.My mother sighed. "Yes, well... I suppose I must make do.""Empress Louis, the room you were given at Victoria's estate was smaller than this," Adolph Hitler spoke quietly. "Perhaps-""Victoria's so-called estate used to belong to the Roslachnian communist scum," my mother cut him off. She didn't even bother looking at him. "She had to make do with what she had. This is different.""It was built by the Egyptians?" Adolph Hitler offered. I smiled at the man, it was kind of him to try, but my mother's temp

Euphemia Arc"So what do you plan to do?" I asked, looking up from Informant Alpha's profile. "Are you going to act on your informant's information?""Not immediately," Director Edgecombe said. She flipped the papers over until the one at the bottom was now at the top.Godfrey frowned. "You're not going to take action?""No. We could raid Your Light, taking Lady Anne into custody. That is a possibility, but what would that accomplish? In the short term, we might gather valuable information and I think it pales in comparison to what we might gather long term."Your Light is a heavy depot for the New Guinean Liberation Front and I do plan on raiding it, just not yet. That might compromise Informant Alpha. Thank about it from their perspective. They get raided a day or two after Informant Alpha appears? No, that's suspicious. There's coincidence and happenstance. Then there's enemy action, which they would have to be fools not to tribute to Informant Alpha."So I am going to have Informa

Euphemia Arc"We interrupt today's standard broadcast to bring you an important news bulletin!" the radio host announced. The spoon froze an inch from my lips and my eyes flickered over at the large radio hanging on the wall. My mother was frowning at it, adjusting her head so she could glare at it and me. I pointedly ignored her. From his spot on the wall, I could see Godfrey shaking his head. "At 10:31 today, a bomb went off in the bathroom of Bayard First Nation Bank. The Bayard Bank services the entirety of the Tyché colony, competing against such juggernauts as the Bank of Aquitaine."The bombing took place at the Bayard Headquarters and the building had to be evacuated by police. As of yet, we do not know who is responsible or the motive behind the attack, but I could tell you, dear listener, that the angry patrons who must wait-"My mother clicked the radio off. Now it was my turn to glare at her. Louise Arc didn't seem to care that her youngest daughter was glaring at her and
Arc Chronicles Interlude: Emperor
Interlude: Emperor of the Aquitaine EmpireEmperor Francois was the most powerful man in the Aquitaine Empire. He was the absolute single most powerful person in the whole empire, outranking his children and his wives. Nothing was beyond his reach or grasp. He could have anything he wanted, no matter how rare and desirable it was. Soon his son would sit on the Prussian Throne and once the State Socialist Party was removed, his blood would control a powerful, enemy nation.He would make Henri merge the nations, with an undo influence on the Aquitaine influence and culture. A plan was already in the works to destroy Prussian Culture and replace it, but Henri wouldn't be so easily cowered. Henri was made of stronger stuff and once he was firmly on the Prussian Throne, he would work towards his own agenda.As far as Henri was aware, his fool of a father was in the dark about his plans. He believed the emperor would be caught off foot when Henri refused to follow the plan, but Francois was

Interlude: Student ZaneWhen the bus reached Pendragon State University, Zane stood up and stretched. Yawning into his hand, he followed the small crowd out the doors. Today was the day, but he wasn't worried. In fact, he was more afraid for Michael and Dani than himself."Are you tired?" Dani asked, leaning on him from behind."Yeah. I was up all night finishing my project." Another yawn. "You're way too bubbly.""I'm a morning girl. Michael!"Michael was waiting for him by the curb, flicking through his phone. He looked up at Dani's scream. Zane could see the bags under his eyes."You're too loud," he said.Dani gave him a look. "Jeez. I thought you were a morning person.""I am... Just not when I've been up all night. Don't you have a huge report due for-""Nope," she said, popping the p. "I already turned it in yesterday.""How did you already finish it?""I work faster."That was true. For as long as he knew her, Dani was a very fast worker. Unlike him, who needed to take his tim

Chapter 2 preview of non Isekai sci-fiEvelyn IIThe machine looked like something you might have found on earth, in the late nineteenth century. Big, large, and primitive, something out of Doctor Frankenstein's laboratory."This," Toshiro said, patting the black metal. "That is how we will transfer your consciousness into the homunculus body.""What is it called? The Frankenstein machine?"Toshiro laughed, but none of the other scientists followed his lead. I was getting dirty looks from them, looks I returned with interest. I had stared down Soviet soldiers, strixes, lycans, and leviathans. These kids in lab coats were about as threatening as a whiner dog. None of them could meet my eyes for long. I might be a decrepit old crone, but I'd be damned if I let these snot-nosed brats glare at me like that. These gnats in this oppressively sterile facility would piss themselves if they came face to face with a leviathan."We don't have a name for it. Perhaps if it works we might come up w

Arc Chronicles Volume 1: Finale
Calixte Arc: FinaleThe plan was simple: divide and conquer. Once we finished dealing with the Roslachnian soldiers, it was a simple matter of planning the attack. Because of the vision, she showed me, I knew where to find that room and we were going in guns blazing.Bian and Alphonse were in first, charging power to their shield gems. The hail of gunfire was deflected from the shields and all the focus was on them.Rolo and Sasha followed, making another loud entrance, to draw the rest of their attention.I was sneaking in last. As the room was filled with the sounds of bullets and magic, I sprinted in under the power of a cloaking spell. It should have been called a camouflage spell because that's what it did. In the chaos of the assault, no one was going to notice me sneaking in.The plan played out perfectly. As I slinked in pressing myself to the wall, I looked around for her. For my enemy.

The passanger
We were supposed to board the plane at three, but we didn't get on the damn plane until five. Five o'clock, TWO HOURS after we were supposed to board. We should have been in the air by that point, but Charles de Gaulle airport was never the most efficiently run place.As we were at last allowed to board, I took one last look at the City of Lights. In terms of architecture, Paris was my favorite city in the world. I didn't get to visit often and I realized I was going to miss it. The three days of relaxation had gone by in a flash and I wished I could stay just a little bit longer. It was a very beautiful city and these days I never had many chances to relax.My life was my job. At least my sacrifice was about to pay off...***"Of course, sir. Please, enjoy the complimentary-"I waited for her to continue, but she didn't. My eyes were on the Paris skyline, but her silence drew me over. She was standing by my chair, holding the wine bottle. She was frozen. Not moving."Enjoy the compli

Calixte Arc
Calixte ArcAs the world swam around me, I was jolted back into a familiar scene. One that had happened less than an hour ago. This was the freshest memory I had ever gone back to.The dark figure formed a black ink sword out of its arm. It was large and bulky, and it pointed it at us. Before I could react, the creature leaped forward. Despite how bulky his sword was, it moved like a fucking ghost. Before I could defend myself, it was right in front of me. Its sword-arm gleamed in the light and he struck me in the chest full on.The question was, how did I get into this memory? The woman in that room must have been the one assailing me, but how did she do it? It had felt like she forced a spike of ice into my head and then I was here.That mental assault was more powerful than anything I have ever felt from her. I didn't know she had that amount of force. If she had... If she had... Why didn't use it before?I found out the creature was made of mana because my shield gem flickered to

Master Shadow - Calixte Arc
Master ShadowShe glared at the man in white, hunched over his crystal ball. She hated that she had to rely on him, but without his guidance, they'd be blind. Still, it didn't sit right with her."Where are they?" she demanded of him. Master Shadow had half a mind to run over and peer into the ball herself, but she didn't have the spells to work it. So she was left standing there, waiting."They just left the room," he said quickly. He didn't want to draw her anger, which proved he had a brain in his head."Where are the prince and the other one going?""They're heading towards the other intruders."Master Shadow rubbed her chin. They wanted to link up, did they? Her instinct wasn't to allow that, but it might be better. If she could cripple the prince in dreams and memories...But she had already tried that. He was resisting and the protection he put around his mind was strong. She could pierce him one more time, but after that, she wouldn't have enough power left. One last time and

The Inspector
The InspectorAs he was brought into the room, Inspector Calares watched him closely. The young man sat down with that calm demeanor of someone sure they weren't going to be executed. It wasn't an act and that surprised him more than anything else. If he was in that young man's position, he wouldn't have been able to remain so calm.If this interview went poorly, if the higher-ups decided he was guilty, Sanctus wouldn't just kill him. He'd be subjected to tortore as a tratior to the People's Union, a fate arguably as bad as hell. Of course, they would never send his soul to hell. The Party went to great lengths to ensure their people had a frame of reference to what happened to traitors.This man would be made an example of and Inspector Calares sure as he didn't want to be the one to send him there, but he had a job to do. If he failed, they'd turn their sight on him.The young man didn't say anything. He just grinned. Inspector Calares didn't meet his eyes at first. He picked up his

Calixte Arc
Calixte ArcThe enchanted bullet struck through the shadow, but I didn't have much time to admire my handy work. I thought I clamped down on my mind with iron, but the force drawing me back into my memories came back with a vengeance. The world swam again and drifted into the misty reality of my mind and my memories...Only it wasn't my memories. I could tell by the context of the misty world that there were memories. I was all too familiar with this state of mind now, but as the mist swirled around me and became solid form, I was in a room I recognized.Only because I was just there when I followed the source of these attacks back. This was the room of the woman who was orchestrating the memory attacks on me.She channeled her mana into the crest, watching as the Aquitaine team slowly surrounded the trap.As more plans landed and they were forced to retreat, the watcher brought her mirror up. She channeled her mana into it, creating a two-way reflection with her team."Commander.""W

Calixte
Calixte ArcI couldn't do anything but watch as the shadow melted out of Alphonse's own shadow. At that moment, it truly looked like the grime reaper ready to begin its bloody work.The world turned to slow motion as the shadow swung its scythe. I aimed, looking down the sights at the monster about to reap my teammate.I channeled my mana into the bullet. I had to shoot now, or that thing would kill him- the world started to spin. No! Not now. I had to keep my eye on the prize and save Alphonse.I pulled the trigger before the memory could suck me in."You're probably right.""Calixte... Calixte and Tanya. Why are you so familiar?""Rolo, pin him down for me, will you? My arm's getting tired.""Roger."I took a deep breath and kept my arm in the same position. I closed my eyes and in an explosion of light, I was back in the real world.The monster cut through Alphonse's shoulder, but the wound didn't look deep. Or life-threatening. Alphonse fell to the ground, but that was just to rol

Shadow Master - Calixte
Shadow MasterShe watched as the prince blinked out of existence, not that he was truly there to start with. He had followed her mind back here, something she hadn't planned for. The boy was talented, but he was still new to the effects in the grand scheme of things. He shouldn't have been able to follow her."That boy." If she wasn't so furious, Shadow Master might have been impressed. As it stood, she was going to make him pay. He should have kept his guard up the whole time because she has a small point in his mind.With her shadow attaching him, the prince didn't have the time to stroll down memory lane. She'd throw him back into one of the memories he'd already experienced. Sure, he'd resist, but with that monster coming at him...She set the shadow to kill. She no longer cared what Emer Gallagher wanted. If the girl became a problem, Shadow Master would use the shadow to end her life as well. The Central Party couldn't fault her. Emer Gallagher was a hired assassin, nothing more
