Jesseca recovered quickly and sneered at Hannah before running full bore at her, sword overhead in preparation of a strike. Hannah leapt over Jesseca and let her run underneath before landing behind her. What Hannah hadn’t noticed was that Jesseca had spun on her heels and brought her sword back around, slicing Hannah in half […]

Severe called up psychic bubbles to help protect her comrades, but watched with despair as the onslaught against them quickly rendered them useless. She quickly conjured a large force of energy to press back a wave of attackers that were encroaching on Sue. “Thanks.” Sue thought to her as she continued to blast back her […]

Jesseca stood dumbfounded, she looked at Sue and then to the others and then back to Sue. “You’re not my mother, you can’t tell me what to do.” she said and started to walk past Sue. Sue pushed Jesseca backward, sending her to the ground. Before she could react Sue had swooped down on her […]

Fires burned in demolished buildings all around Boomtown as Jesseca made her way through the area. The extent of the destruction was massive, an entire city brought down to no more than a smoldering mess.

Though she lay motionless in the bed, Jesseca’s mind was anything but relaxed. “Where am I?” Jesseca thought as she looked around at the […]

“I think she’s coming around.” Jesseca heard a man’s voice say from somewhere in the darkness that was surrounding her. Jesseca opened her eyes slowly, and as the world came back into focus she saw Dementia’s Knight standing above her, dabbing her forehead with a damp washcloth. “What happened?” she asked weakly. “We were kinda […]

“Severe, Arson, Hannah’s taken Jesseca I need the two of you to go after them!” Knight bellowed into his communicator at the two women. “They left the infirmary heading west about five minutes ago.” he said. The two women left the base and took to the sky, racing off in the direction Knight had seen […]

And so it went for more days that Maynard cared to remember until one day Dad spontaneously took them all out for a steak dinner. It wasn’t quite the Peace of Westphalia, but hostilities ceased. It was stupid, he knew, but Maynard couldn’t help but wonder if Augie would have turned out differently if he’d […]
