"Everyone's heard of Sicario out here. The mercenary group that was hired by Cascadia to fight the Federation during their war for independence. Hell, half the Periphery signed up when their leader came looking for backup after the Ring of Fire ignited."

Leading up to Cascadia's final push towards Presidia news had spread around that the Sicario mercenary group was looking for all able-bodied pilots in the Periphery. Many answered the call, having heard the rumors that the Federation was on their last legs in the region. 

"Half my squadron signed right up! Broke their contracts and flew north. Those of us who stayed cheered when the ceasefire was called. But..."

Many of those who flew to Cascadia never returned. Either downed during the Siege of Presidia or Crimson 1s attack thereafter.

Those left in the Periphery didn't have the numbers to maintain their contracts. The Jobs suddenly too dangerous for the pilots to take on. Many flew north, looking for work with those rebuilding Cascadia. Some sought revenge on the Federation. 

Comet Squadron was hit especially hard by the battle of Presidia. Unable to live off contracts they are pushed ever closer to becoming the privateers they've been fighting. Until a charismatic man comes wandering onto base with a choice.

The Carriers by JarrynPaige

Completed! #1 in government conspiracy as of 10/19/18 #6 in outbreak as of 10/10/18 #7 in corruption as of 8/12/18 #62 in apocalypse as of 8/7/18 #11 in government as of 8/9/18 The year is 2213. Everyone was evacuated from the home planet over 150 years ago. Our planet was dying, it was only a matter of time before our race was wiped out. We now live on a synthetic planet designed and built by our ancestors who came together from all parts of the globe to devise a plan to save us. We have lived peacefully for over a century.. Until now. Our lives were threatened when a mysterious and deadly virus broke out, killing entire communities at a time. The council says that they have a plan; they said that in order to prevent the death of more innocent people they will test every man, woman, and child for signs of the virus. Any person found to have been infected will be quarantined, the ones who die will be given a proper burial while the ones who survive are deemed carriers and are to be sent to the home planet to prevent further outbreak. I was prepared for the people I know and some I love being taken away for the greater good, but I never would have expected that among the list of people being taken from my community, that I would be one of them.. I survived the quarantine. Now for the survival of my planet I, and the other Carriers must be sent to the home planet. I'm going back to Earth. (This is not based on The 100 but there are similarities.) (Some violent themes, but other than that is entirely clean.) Please comment if you have any questions or concerns. This is a first draft so it is definitely not perfect yet.. Thank you! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Where'd you learn to do that?" I asked about the intricate knots that he had tied so swiftly. He paused. "Jail." I glared at him in shock at what had just come out of his mouth. "Seriously?" His straight face broke into a grin. "No. Boy Scouts."

Lords of Fire MC (MC Romance, Thriller) [complete] by GlennHefley

MC Romance Neil watched for too long, he figured. His club, the Lords MC in Florida became more 'outlaw' every week, and he saw no opportunity to change that direction. He never wanted to be outlaw, and now he was delivering enough to put him down for 30 years, three times a week. With his dad passing away, and his little sisters needing him around more, it was a wake-up call. Time to ride, with someone else if he found a pack worth joining, or lone wolf if not. With his status and tenure, it never occurred to him that he wouldn't be allowed to move on. When Shayla and Sydney came in as dealers a few years back instead of finishing college, their vow was a few years then out. They had a hell of a run. Parties that were legend, lovers of every sexy man type from Cuban to Norwegian and back again. But it was game time again. The years were great, but not what they wanted for their lives. Then they met Neil, and it was like seeing themselves for the first time, in stark light. He was always courteous and professional, unlike their other delivery men from the MC. He never treated them with anything except respect. In the reflection of his cobalt eyes, though, neither saw themselves worth his respect. It wasn't a shaming, more of a profound regret that a man like Neil finally showed up and they were too far into the life to say "hey, this isn't who we are." The whole "I'm not as I am" Othello play was for victims anyway, and they weren't victims. They were volunteers. But just meeting Neil slammed the door on waiting any longer to get out and back to university. Then two other dealers left the club, and turned up in trash bags, their bodies hacked up by machete.

The Seven Deadly Beings: Shattered Universe(Book 1) by RogueArchAngel

This story is about the Multiverse and pulls together 5 of my other stories I highly recommend you read them first in order to grasp the type of people the characters are. Julio Castellanos Trilogy, Guardian Wars: Prophecy of the Xaibere, The Elder Scrolls: Child of Two Worlds, Heroes of Earth: The Blue Entity Rises, and _Rodrgo1's Lantern Corps Unity ******************************************* Julio Castellanos disappeared at a moment of mass crisis leaving his son Derek Castellanos to deal with the threat of Kardia Pagos. He finds himself in a world which is run by gods of lesser nature know as the Divines. It is here where he learns of the multiverse and his counter parts. The one here known as Saulian Larethlock a half-breed which could possible relate to not fitting in. Decker Hail was pulled into a black hole, but ended up somewhere else someplace away from his guild mates. He encounters Julio Castellanos a lantern from the Green Lantern Corps. They both understand the science behind what is going on and Julio agrees to help Decker find his way back. Julio Castellanos still on his search for his rogue brother Essau is the first to meet the cosmic threat of Kistr a being made entirely of hate, anger, despair, and jealousy. P.S. I changed the name of the book so that it would be easier for me to name the second one.

Fire Flyers: Wings of Passion by toyota1983

The year is 2045. In order to train the next generation of air force pilots, countries around the world have turned air combat into a school sport, officially naming it "Fire Flight". Simply put, a fire flight is a simulated air combat scenario, be it air-to-air or air-to-surface, using dummy munitions to score hits on air/surface targets. It's been 2 decades since the sport was created and some of the best pilots in the world were molded from fire flight. The best pilots usually came from the best schools which had a lot of money to provide the best equipment possible. However, the same cannot be said about the lesser fortunate schools. All schools, rich or poor, have to pay for all the equipment (aircraft, dummy munitions, etc.) themselves. Meaning the rich schools usually were able to afford the best tech while middle and low class schools had to settle for hand-me-downs or worse. Kevin McNamara is an autistic senior in the backwater high school of Monarca High, Monarca, California. He will join the "Monarca Kestrels" fire flight squadron and fill the spot of Kristopher Kestrel, who tragically died in an aircraft collision earlier in the year. He will have to get antiquated with his teammates who are still recovering from Kristopher's death. As a flight of three jets, all of which are relics of the distant past, they will have to work together as they fight above their weight class in almost every match they enter. Kevin will have to experience grief, romance, and the harshness of gatekeeping on top of all the usual stresses of a fighter pilot if he wants his team to become the best fire flyers in the America.

Zero by ZunotheSolowing

When metal creatures first arrived to earth, we brushed it off as something the military can handle a few months later all countries on the globe united together to solve this crisis but society continued as it was. We adapted a few years later with new weapons the first ever Nikke's were created with the use of "willing" female test subjects. We revered them as Goddess's of Victory a beacon of hope, the fighting continued, the wave of Raptures became more fierce and human lives began to rapidly decrease as the conflict got much worse so they created the Ark a place where humanity can thrive everyone across the globe had come to save themselves... ")(;:Here comes the snow^[<<<"... [ERROR] that was my first ever deployment in a experimental mobile suit to fight alongside humanities "goddesses" >>> New Entry Connecting to video...ERROR..(RETRYING) BZZZZT Did you know...there are three kind of aces?

Aces & Adversaries by 1-StrawberryMoon-1

At Ilyria Academy, Demitra Aresides is known for her brilliance and relentless drive to be the best. Her world is turned upside down when the prestigious Arsakeia College is destroyed by fire, forcing its students to transfer to her school. Among them is Alexander Cassano, a genius athlete with a reputation for being infuriatingly perfect. Their rivalry ignites in the classroom, but it quickly becomes personal. The tension between them runs deeper than just academics. As they push each other to the edge, neither understands the true source of their animosity, though both sense something far more significant simmering beneath the surface. It's not just about competition-it's about proving who is truly worthy of being called the best. --- Time has a way of changing everything-except the rivalry between them. Now, captains in the Special Air Force, Phantom and Reaper are legends in the skies-stealthy, brutal, mysterious, and deadly. Their skill is unmatched, feared by enemies across the globe. Countries would do anything to recruit them, but they remain untouchable, loyal only to their squadron. When these two pilots take to the air, entire nations tremble. Their names are whispered with a mixture of dread and respect. --- What they don't know, however, is that the rivalry that began all those years ago-when they were just two students in a classroom-has never truly gone away. Their identities remain a mystery to each other, but fate has a way of bringing the past back into the present. When it does, the world may not be ready for what happens next. --- 'I would destroy everything I've ever known just to keep you safe.'

Northern Exposure: The divided by LukenDuPont

Without warning it began! The inevitable, I think it's fair to assume this book is not in my possession. This means I'm most likely dead. Most nights I wrestle the reason I have chosen to explain what happened, the things we did to each other, things no human being should witness. I Wright this simply to enlighten your poor soul and give you more of a chance than I had. A chance to survive what is most likely the brink of human extinction. Times are harder now and as the days go by we are less of our former selves. We have become husks floating around in a lost, desolate world. I look at this place and it still seems so alien to me, as the days roll into the nights I'm still unsure of how we got to this point. If you are reading this, you too are probably North and very much aware of what has happened to our beloved city. I feel a responsibility to inform you that you will most likely share the same fate as I have. I understand you may be wondering what's worse than death, trust me in this place death seems like a paradise compared. I do not know why I still feel so obligated to write this. To be honest most nights I think its just an escape from the madness, like a natural sedative it's the only way I can fall asleep in this hell. However I do need to clear my conscious and pay dividend for my demons. I need you to know what happened to me; I need you to know what we have become and what we are capable of. I need you to know why we have chosen to kill each other, why the smell of human flesh lingers in the air like slow roast pork on a Sunday afternoon. Why bodies litter our streets. Why things that seemed to be so impossible happen in front of our very own eyes. Why conformity i this place is the unreal ideas people live their lives by and why I was included into this group of youthful abominations. All of this might be irrelevant compared to what I am about to tell you.

"No Life 'Til Leather" by NUmaker

Sometimes shit happens. Hey, it's not always your day, it's alright. One moment you're riding high, soaring above these mud-riddled plains with the king of mercs by your side, another, you're running far away from the crater he blew himself up in. You've really outdone yourself this time. W's dead, there's angel blood on your fingers and something itches to grow out of your skull. To pierce those gray curls of yours and bask in the twin moon's soft gaze. Something brewing deep within, eager to dim that halo forever and shatter your wings. A piece of you that's always been there, always hiding and growling, waiting for its moment to shine. So, hit the lights, Andy. Give it some stage time. Let yourself live a little. Throw out that Lateran jacket, put on some leather. Grow a pair of horns, befriend a fiend. Forget Laterano, forget Lungmen. Kazdel is your new home. And your new home's where you rightfully belong, you little rascal. Hellooooo people !! Here we are, a SPIN-OFF story of my "Curly Head" series, in which Andy actually went on that one job he previously ditched and got himself into quite a predicament. In this one, I'll turn the angst-meter down, I promise. W and Andy, happy times. :D This is, of course, perfectly fine as a standalone work, I think, but if you're new and wanna brush up on the lore then you can do just that! Series starts with "Goodbye Curly Head", rest is pretty straightforward. Summed up: thirteen year old boy from Laterano ships himself off to fight in the Kazdel Civil War for peacekeeping reasons, situation turns to shit at the end of his tour, forced to stay in Kazdel and make money as a merc, meets up the first W's crew at the age of sixteen, circus-slapstick follows. Ps: I'm not giving up on "Almost Green", only taking a small break and also delivering some much needed fluff-ish stuff. Tell me you thoughts in the comments, I tend to reply to every single one of them and love reading through them all! Have fun!

Cyberpunk: 2075 by srpelukas

Crossing over into the world of Cyberpunk 2077 should be an opportunity to make a big splash... Wait, hold on, isn't this the year 2075? Sure, it's already November, and 2076 is just around the corner, but I only know about what happens in 2077! In this world, you might not want to live, but you can't afford to not have a job. Anyway, let's start by becoming a mercenary and picking up gigs. That sounds simple enough, but getting a job from a fixer only to face off against an ACPA (Armored Combat Personal Assist) right off the bat-aren't we going a bit overboard here? And who's this daughter of Michiko Arasaka? I've only seen the demo; I don't know these people! What kind of chaotic mission is this!?
