The manipulative anti-heartbreaker syndicate, Ex Gratia, has succumbed to Felix's plot to secretly amalgamate it with the ubiquitous Ex Vivo to form a formidable alliance with a malicious plot to take the dating company's influence to a level that will affect the nation enormously - even the economy.
Meanwhile, Akoma wakes up in an unknown location to face a revelation that further cracks her hopes of survival and makes her rethink her decision to trust and love: Poku, her cyborg lover is neither dead nor alive - but something else. The storage device handed her before the cyborg's self-destruct links her to a group of anti-Ex Vivo extremists in the shadows of a falling government who seek to end the reign of the company. They convince her that she is the central player in all the ensuing events and give her a Messianic treatment that upsets a percentage of the group with divergent views.
However, the world becomes a more hostile place for Akoma when her paranoia is triggered by unforeseen betrayals and the testimony of a loved one who returns from the dead.

Mako
In the rain-slicked, neon-drenched labyrinth of the Subic Bay Freeport Zone, some ghosts don't rattle chains-they haunt the wires. They call him Mako. To the city's criminal underworld, he is a digital phantom, a legendary hacker capable of crashing cranes and emptying bank accounts with a keystroke. The truth is far more strange, and far more dangerous. Mako is a man who died and was reborn as something new: a technopath. His consciousness is a living network protocol, his senses a symphony of data streams and electrical currents. He is a ghost in the machine, a predator who can control any technology he can touch, a power he uses for a single, obsessive purpose: to dismantle the empire of the corrupt official who created him and left him for dead. But Mako's quiet, methodical war for revenge is thrown into chaos when he discovers he is not the only phantom in the region. He witnesses the brutal efficiency of a mysterious old watchmaker and the raw, elemental power of a warrior king from the mountains. He realizes his personal vendetta is just one small piece of a much larger, secret war. When his hunt leads him to a horrifying truth about human trafficking and a new generation of stolen weaponry, Mako is forced to make a choice: remain a ghost in the wires, a cold, logical predator seeking vengeance, or embrace the last vestiges of his stolen humanity to become a protector. To save the innocent, the machine must decide if he is still a man, and the ghost must finally choose a side in a war that will define the soul of the city. [Biyayaverse Book 3]Complete

Emotionless Mutation (Book Three)
"However, you say I am human in a sense, that my body is simply fused with the robot that I have been raised to believe I am. Could you teach me...emotion?" The Kraang tried to take over the city of New York twice, and only once did they succeed. The screams of civilians permeated the cold air as Kraang moved through the streets, armed to the teeth. Mutagen rained down over passerby, asphalt cracked, fires raged, and as the city grew silent, a lone van drove off down the road. Within the isolation of her TCRI Kraang cell, she watched the humans lose. Later, she watched the humans as they were saved. She felt nothing. Subject 60184 has known no other life than one full of Kraang droids and experiments. She's a cyborg who's been raised alongside the Kraang, but her hatred for her alien captors is unrelenting. For sixteen years she has lived as an almost emotionless test subject, forced to watch the big, wide world pass by without her. To the Kraang, she is an object, not a human being. This cyborg knows better. She knows what she wants, and she knows that they've made the wrong enemy. It's time to rebel. Book Three in the Mutations Series Song: The Scientist by ColdplayComplete
SURPRISE!! Another USUK! : Veins and Wires
I know. Another USUK. I'm sorry, but I swear to the sweet heavens above that this couple has taken over my poor mind. So if you can't handle all this USUK gayness, bye-bye!!! So, to the point of this story; Arthur Kirkland and Alfred F. Jones were agents, working for a secret agency, and were lovers. Gilbert Beilshmidt also worked for the same agency, and needed a project to save his career. The agency was working to destroy the enemies from the inside out, while Manhattan was being destroyed, Alfred, Arthur and Francis were all on a mission together to gather information while the city was under attack. An accident occurs, tearing an agent's heart, saving a man's career, and putting a Hero together with Veins and Wires. Holy crap I hope that didn't suck. Anyway, please enjoy if you do decide to read. I do not own Hetalia or the characters or the pictures I may or may not use. I do own the plot line. I may or may not draw a pic, so if I do, I own that. Thank you for reading!Complete
The Commander Who Didn't Give a shit
This is a story about a game called "Goddess of Victory: NIKKE" highly recommend it. Tried it, and now it's my favourite game. So, I shall be hopping into it! The setting is as follows: *Ehem* post apocalyptic world, women turned into cyborgs, a single Commander tasked with saving humanity. It has everything you could ever hope to expect from such a story- Eeexcept. This one Commander, the one who's supposed to be the upstanding citizen who does no wrong, the infallible hero who snatches victory from the jaws of defeat?... He's really just a shit talking bastard named Zero... Ah and speaking of shits... He has absolutely none to give really... Aaand yet despite that all, he seems to be the only one that's been able to make any sort of headway against the enemy that's been fought for over a dam century. Gee. I wonder why? Perhaps it's because of the fact that he doesn't give a shit about anything that allows him to disregard all the social and political fluff of this world and... just treat his team like people. Now ain't that some shit?
The City of Steel and Flesh
In the neon-soaked sprawl of Tranquil, peace is just the planning stage before the next war. Twenty years ago, the Defector Uprising nearly tore the city apart-when a single line of corrupted code turned autonomous robots, or SIMs, against their human creators. Tens of thousands died, and the survivors built a fragile new order under strict laws governing machine intelligence. Now, whispers ripple through the undercity: a new breed of Defectors stalks the streets. Dubbed Mechannibals, these rogue machines cannibalize other robots for parts, growing stronger, faster, and deadlier with every kill. And somewhere deep in the city's veins, someone is building them on purpose. Adam Kotu, a haunted veteran of the Uprising and the most respected detective in the Autonomous Robotics Control division, thought his fighting days were over. But when the assassination of a high-ranking Magistrate uncovers a conspiracy linking corporations and undercity gangs to the Mechannibal plague, he's forced to confront both the enemy before the streets burn again. Lola "Pistola" Estavez never wanted to be a hero. A gang runner framed for that same Magistrate's murder, she's now hunted by both the Tranquil Security Force and the people she once called family. On the run, she stumbles onto the truth: her city's descent into chaos isn't an accident-it's an engineered catastrophe. To survive, she'll have to decide whether to trust Adam... or take her chances alone. In a city where loyalty is currency and life is cheap, Adam and Lola's uneasy alliance may be the only thing standing between Tranquil and a second war it won't survive. But in Tranquil, there are no happy endings. This gritty cyberpunk thriller blends pulse-pounding action with hard-edged mystery in a world where humanity's greatest creation may be its ultimate downfall.
