Coming soon to Royal Road
Major Xiomar Haydn is a damn good soldier, and an even better mechanic, although he does have a tendency to get himself thrown into the stockades for getting on the general's bad side.
To keep him busy and out of trouble, Xiomar is assigned the task of repairing an old Mech that hasn't been touched in fifteen years.
He knows he can fix it--he's Chief Mechanic.
What he doesn't know, however, is that GLITCH has a mind of its own. Literally.
In the midst of a war between two countries, Xiomar and his newly-repaired Mech are caught in the middle. The enemy is trying to obtain GLITCH's technology... the power to give their own Mechs sentience and dominate the world.
Xiomar finds himself pondering the morality of forcing a sentient being to fight on his behalf, and what that means for him as a dutiful soldier.
With the future filled with uncertainty, Xiomar and GLITCH are certain of one thing--no one's going down without a fight.

Artery Gear: Fusion, Episode 2 - Turned to Dust
Author's Note This is a fan-made story based on the world and characters of Artery Gear: Fusion. I've done my best to remain faithful to the canon, preserving the original tone, key events, and character dynamics. Where the source material left space, I've added personal touches - new dialogue, scenes, and introspection - to deepen the emotional core of the narrative and honor the story as I believe it deserved. This work was written by a fan, for fans. For those who still remember the mission, the music, the lengthy boss battles... and the characters who made this world unforgettable. Thank you to the community that keeps Artery Gear alive in spirit, even after the servers were shut down, and especially WebSoul, for her assistance in gathering and organizing information about the world of Artery Gear. Your passion is the reason this story exists. Future episodes will be published as separate volumes.

The Mind of The Daleks
At the end of just another ordinary day's work, Isabel's commute is hijacked by metal horrors calling themselves - Daleks. She and her fellow bus-riders are put to work clearing an empty lot in the middle of Albuquerque, guarded by mindless men, threatened with death. Their only hope: A strange little man calling himself the Doctor... Trusting the Doctor is the craziest thing Isabel has ever done. But when it pays off, she must choose to trust him again and dive into a desperate effort to stop a Dalek invasion and save the world - or go back to life as she's always known it, for however long they all have left. One thing is certain: Live or die, nothing will ever be the same. . . . This is my first and only complete effort at fan-fiction! It's a few years old, so apologies in advance for outdated technology references. And the somewhat clunky writing... The Doctor is Patrick Troughton's. The main character is Isabel Thompson - a proposed traveling companion of my own invention. The villains are the Daleks. Enjoy!
