Gone Native: Old Friends (ch. 21)

It was almost hard to believe the fully grown man before me was the same boy that used to follow me around, using my cape as a leash to keep up while he munched down on months worth of rations. It shouldn't be. Broly was a few years older than me, so it only made sense that he would have hit his ...

Gone Native: Reunion (ch. 20)

I was surrounded on all sides with various heroes and villains that had established an uneasy truce. For the most part. I suspected that there were others that had refused the call to unite against me. I endeavored to learn their names at a later date, but for now I had far more pressing concerns...

Gone Native: Digging Deep (ch. 19)

Aquaman wasn't down for the count, I saw as I raced down towards him, intent on picking off the scattered members of the Justice League while I had the opportunity. Simply because I knew that this was my only chance to do so. Aquaman clutched at the stump at his wrist, blood dripping between his ...

Fool's World: Justice (ch. 10)

Something was wrong, Nobara thought as she clenched her left hand. Her fingers felt numb, her wrist was stiff… she tried a dexterity test under the table and found that she couldn't manage to touch her thumb to her pinky. The movements felt sluggish and stiff. The numbness lessened up her forea...

Fool's World: Wheel of Fortune (ch. 9)

"If I'm your target, then why take a shot at Rin?" I questioned, considering my position. My forearm hurt like hell, and I really didn't like how there was a stake fed through the center of it. Worst of all, I couldn't make a fist. My middle fingers weren't responding, and my pinky and pointer fi...

Fool's World: Strength (ch. 8)

"What do you mean, what's a Grail War?" I questioned, my stunned surprise showing on my face. Part of me wanted to think that this was some tactic to trick me into lowering my guard, but the look of open confusion on Shirou's face convinced me otherwise. I still wanted it to be true to validate a...

See No Evil: Precipice (ch. 66)

I really wished that killing the Joker magically unfucked Gotham, because it felt like I was even busier now than I had been with the actual disaster. There were so many things I needed to do -- finishing deals, making new ones, planning ways to get around refusals, using all the tools in my tool...

See No Evil: Falling Pieces (ch. 65)

The Joker's death didn't magically unfuck Gotham, but it removed one major obstacle to get the job done. The Justice League reassured the world that the Joker was dead. For good and forever this time. That the other shoe wouldn't be getting dropped. Who had killed the Joker was a subject of fierc...

See No Evil: Speak No Evil (ch. 64)

Batman was a tough person to track, when it was all said and done. Even when I had 'Concerned Citizen' drop a lead on where the Joker was, Batman came and went like a ghost. I had no idea if he was shadowing the Joker or not, but for a time, the two just glided past one another. Like two dogs run...

Risk It All: Taking the Pot (ch. 29)

I tried. I did, really. I even opened my mouth to respond -- to list out the reasons why this was probably a bad idea and why we shouldn't do it. Mainly, while Zatara was her father, he wasn't mine, and the guy would absolutely murder me when he found out. Not if. When. I mustered up my ...

Gone Native: Rulers (ch. 18)

I expected Superman to be the first to arrive now that I was back on Earth, but the sudden assault by Batman caught me by surprise. I heard a loud bang behind me, and by the time I looked over my shoulder, I saw a fist the size of my head racing towards my face. I reacted quickly, catching the bl...

All the World's Evil: Dark Deeds in Dark Shadows (ch. 3)

"Oh, this is quite a turnout! Who would have thought that all the remaining Servants would show their faces?" Rider questioned, sounding delighted at the turn of events as he stood on his chariot. He stood at the center of it all, flanked by both Lancer and Saber. At his back was Archer, and even...

All the World's Evil: Lesser Evils (ch. 2)

Lies were a funny thing, I thought to myself as I walked through the city of Fuyuki. People instinctively gave me a wide berth, if not for my appearance than for the vile aura that seeped from me.

Lies themselves weren't evil. They can be said with the best of intentions. Lies could be a to...

All the World's Evil: Rebirth (ch. 1)

My bones were hate, malice was my flesh, and curses were my blood. For I was Angra Mainyu, the god of darkness, the king of daemons, and the source of all evil in the world.

Yet, right now, I was little more than a stain on the rim of the Holy Grail, poisoning the chalice for anyone who mig...

Fool's World: The Chariot (ch. 7)

There were people in the halls, drawn to the unfamiliar sound coming from in front of the school gates. Teenagers stood by the windows looking out, all muttering questions under their breaths or to their friends. The teachers were ushering the kids to go back into the classrooms, but teenagers we...

See No Evil: Final Farewell (ch. 63)

There were times that the mantle of Batman felt like a cruel curse that had been inflicted upon him rather than something he had chosen to become. In those times, the cowl became a suffocating mask that strangled every breath. It was a weight on his shoulders that was nearly impossible to lift. T...

Risk It All: Lost Cards (ch. 29)

I tossed my bokken into Gluttony and pulled out my Chinese broadsword with the same action, grabbing hold of the hilt as the wooden katana vanished. Killer Croc let out a bestial roar as he began to lunge forward, and his roar was matched in kind by Superboy, who threw himself back at Killer Croc...

Gone Native: Clash (ch. 17)

My fist slammed into Wonder Woman's face with a thunderous crack, sending her flying through the wall of the ship and blasting through the forest that surrounded us. The moment I punched her, the bitter and unfamiliar taste of defeat entered my mouth, and I was unable to feel any anticipation for...

Announcement: Break from 7th-14th of November

So, some of you might recall that over a month ago, one of my bosses got fired and his division more or less imploded in the most spectacular fashion. That was an ongoing situation until very recently. The TLDR is that the division wasn't just run by an idiot, but a criminal idiot. A big issue is...

Fool's World: The Empress (ch. 6)

I had a brother.

Or, rather, I always had a brother, but first I forgot he existed, and then I learned that he was dead, only to find out that he was alive. My feelings were… mixed to be honest.

"It was easier when he was dead," I remarked to Nobara, who had been asking a silent que...
