This was a dream project. The other books I had written I had come up with a year before they were written at most, but this book is an idea I’ve had for years, even before I started writing. That may be surprising considering it was originally a spin-off, but more than that has changed […]
The Ones Who Sit at the Table ION “Ion, explain this to me, exactly how it is that the Savaage is better off after everything you’ve done.” I ignore the question, I look around the big, dark room. The lights have to be off for the holograms to work correctly, some of us can’t be […]
The Name THE HOOD This is a strange sensation. My helmet isn’t on my head but it’s still covered. The eyeball that’s free to the world, it’s so crusty I can barely open it, the other… the other is gone. I don’t… there’s less weight, so either its gone or most of it is burned […]
The Wolf Pack THE HOOD “Why so scared? You won, didn’t you?” Ion asks us this question like it should be rhetorical. As he and Hundress float down towards us, he taps his finger where his lips should be and it doesn’t seem so rhetorical. We all move and power up, ready to fight, with […]
The Savaage ION THUD!PYOH! SMACK! THUD!CRASH! My little team bashes him around the room, the five of them ganging up on the mortal vigilante. It really does tug at my heartstrings. “Ion,” my Hundress calls for me, “are you going to participate?” She stands beside me, the cyborg that’s grown more machine than woman. She […]
The Demons THE DIRECTOR This is going to go down as one of the smartest ideas I’ve ever had, or one of the dumbest. I can say for sure that it’s one of the craziest though. It definitely feels like it since I’m walking into the wolf den so to speak, or demon den to […]
The Strongwoman ESPADA “AAAAAAAHHHHHH!!” I killed him, I killed the Hood. I didn’t want to, I didn’t want to do any of it! They made me. I should have flew after him, I shouldn’t have let him leave and believe the terrible things he said about himself. He believed it, and died believing it. He […]
The Beating THE DIRECTOR POW! SMASH! CRACK! She hits harder than a freight train, I know this, I’ve been hit by one and the force wasn’t as strong. If I wasn’t in so much pain, I’d be proud of my Espada for punching me through several tanks, shattering all my ribs and bursting my heart […]
The Jumping THE HOOD No one needs to tell me, I know I should be the one going to rescue the team, hell, we should have just gotten all three of them instead of splitting up. I made a promise to save them and everything, but that’s not my nature it seems. It seems my […]
The Rescue OVERSIGHT “When I said that we are going to do exactly what they would never expec, I didn’t expect you to volunteer your car,” the Director says to the Hood. I’ve never done this before, listened in to the Hood’s car and spied on people through cameras. The Hood speeds down the road, […]
