**static voice over the comm**
"y-you.....you know.... far too much" the voice was shaky, hiding its barely contained rage.
"Where am I?!. What are you? What the hell are you talking about??" Ariba's tense voice calls out into the dark abyss. no one can be seen far, far away as she keeps walking towards nothing.
"it's too late! There's no saving us" Ariba freezes. what does this mean?? Where am I??
"YOU KNOW FAR TOO MUCH!" the voice cries.
 "YOU KNOW FAR TOO MUCH ARI-!" the heavy voice screams with fear and the comm goes blank.
"Who are you? What does all this mean huh?!"
"Ariba.....it's too late." She stops in her tracks as her eyes widen.
 That voice.....
"Nitin...?"       "Is that you?" she spoke with defeat clear in her tone.
"It's too late, there's no turning back now."

In a world where silence is law and memory is a weapon, who will you serve? The Alliance or the Void?

They Made Us Monsters by Niyah7212
38 parts Complete Mature
In a world ruled by disease, fear, and government control, survival is no longer a choice-it's a rebellion. After a virus devastates the population, the U.S. government uses the crisis to seize control, turning teenagers into test subjects in brutal experiments meant to create super-soldiers. Those who are captured vanish into labs where their memories are wiped, their bodies are altered, and their identities are erased. Those who escape are left with scars-and the crushing guilt of the ones they couldn't save. Artemis Cross was never supposed to be a leader. But when she's captured and stripped of everything she knows, she becomes Subject 88, forced into a nightmare of pain, injections, and psychological warfare. Her mind begins to fracture-but one memory refuses to die: Z, the boy who once held her together, the boy she can't forget no matter how deep they dig into her brain. Outside the walls, Z is haunted by her absence. He can't eat, sleep, or breathe without seeing her face. As he and a fractured group of survivors drive through a collapsing America-riddled with graffiti, riots, and people fighting to the death over scraps-Z promises he'll find Artemis, even if he has to tear the system down piece by piece. But the deeper they get into the truth, the more twisted it becomes. Friends begin to betray each other. Love starts to fracture. And the world they thought they knew is far more dangerous than they ever imagined. Because this isn't just about surviving the system anymore. It's about burning it to the ground.
Akropolis by hcedwards
9 parts Complete Mature
"Any thought you ever had; memories, desires, your fears and your dreams, are all recorded and stored safely in the Quantum Cloud for your eventual revival. Death is now merely a transitional period to the next stage of your existence. As a QUBIT (quantum processing biosynthetic), you will experience a life free of disease and suffering. Time is no longer your enemy. Regret is a thing of the past. Each new day brings the promise of endless possibilities, spent in the pursuit of your own happiness, guiltless with the knowledge that there are no longer earthly constraints to inhibit you. This is the life you have always wanted. Welcome to your new beginning..." Akropolis is a city at the end of times, a sanctuary where the brightest and best have been housed since the last Great War. A genome defect has afflicted the majority of the population and scientists are desperate to find a cure. In the meantime, man has found his own salvation in the form of the QUBIT (quantum processing bio-synthetic), an android that is capable of prolonging life almost indefinitely, and yet what makes them human in the first place has been lost in the transition. The ruling council believes that salvation is nigh, but whether that hope arrives in time is questionable. The city's future depends upon the actions of a few individuals, all of whom are struggling with their own mortality. Quentin is the boy who dreams of death. Mia is the tortured soul. Trey is the soldier that defines duty. Misao is the future of the ruling council. Claire is the girl with a secret that will rock the foundations of their entire civilization. Unbeknownst to them, the entire fate of Akropolis lies in their hands. Either humanity will find a way to survive or it will sink slowly into the sea of extinction.
What if I can't save the world? by sunkissed-maya

STATUS: COMPLETED. Their worlds have been shattered by evils they weren't able to stop. Their powers, a reminder to all that they have lost. But when the fate of the world hangs in the balance once again these four heroines receive a second chance to become the heroes that they were destined to be all along. Can they come together in time to stop a futuristic threat or will the villain prove to be too powerful all over again? EXCERPT --------------------------------------------------------------- "You think she'll take the bait?" I asked "I have no idea," she admitted. Kadima opened up the portal and we stepped through. It was the only place she could be sure would have no civilians around. The office was stripped and abandoned. It was an old, basic, nondescript building that was set for demolition. It was dark and dusty. "How long until you think they come, if they come." "I don't think it will be long before they realise. I'm sure she must have some way of knowing when the timeline changes." "Suppose the timeline hasn't changed and this was apart of the plan all along," a voice said in the darkness. "What if something as small as this doesn't change the outcome of this timeline," Mistress Mind snickered as she emerged from behind the wall. Her visor glowed in the darkness. She leaned against the wall. "Did you think something this small would be able to stop us." "We had hoped," I fired up my pendent.

"You're not supposed to be awake," she said to him. Her voice was rather deep, but somehow, still soft and feminine. "And you're not supposed to be here." He didn't dare get out of bed, but he rose onto his elbow. She squinted for a moment and then raised one corner of her mouth. "You naughty boy! Been skimping on your meds, have you?" ********************************************** He is utterly lost. Lost in time, without control. Lost in a world that's strange and daunting. But he must not give up. He's a fighter, after all. And though his sword fighting skills don't count for much here, it's the unrelenting spirit that can either break or save him. And her... Always coming out of seemingly nowhere. Always renewed, yet so familiar. Come to give comfort or just remind him fate has not forgotten him. And each time she leaves, it's like she rips a part of him along. They share a common understanding about the subtleties of life. She's the only one who gets him, yet that gnawing feeling that there's so much more about her just keeps him on his toes. But she never stays long enough for him to find out. Until one day when he convinces her to stay for longer. And the mystery starts to surface. But she's not used to it. She runs... never expecting him to follow into hell. Disaster strikes and breaks him, in a way that turns him callous and cruel. And that in turn breaks her, making her sacrifice her love for his greater good. But does fate agree with that? This is a rollercoaster of emotions, not built for the faint of heart. But it's for those who will endure through the pain and suffering that the greatest rewards await on the other side. Come! Join the adventure!
Archeia's Atheneum (The First Shift) by nullandvoid44
26 parts Complete Mature
You're awake. You're different. You exist, suddenly, as two things. You, the one you know, with the body and name you're familiar with--and this new you, the one exists within you. This you is inhabiting a world within your own. This other consciousness that you see through has begun to sense its timeline, each word a moment. Like the you you're familiar with, this self seems to come into its life mid-story--though the way you experience this life/story differs vastly from what you're used to. As you grow you will eventually know how to articulate it, even recreate it. First, however, you must choose to embark on/in this small incarnation; you must read the first word. For those who will tread forth on this journey, we salute you. You have been dubbed Archeia, may your journey be ever abundant.

Ruined Softly by dvelazquez93

It started with a moan behind closed doors. It ended with her blindfolded, wrecked, and begging for more. Aria was the quiet assistant. The good girl. Until the night Roman Hayes caught her touching herself - not to porn, not to fantasy... but to the sound of her boss fucking someone else. He didn't fire her. He offered her a choice: Enter his world. No strings. No shame. No one can know. Now she's crawling through velvet hallways in stilettos, learning what it means to be owned, worshipped, and ruined by a man who swore he'd never love again. She calls him Sir - but nothing feels casual about the way he touches her. Nothing feels safe about how fast she's falling. He said it was just an arrangement. She said she could handle it. But obsession doesn't play by the rules. And when softness ruins a man like Roman... there's no going back.

Elodie's life changes at the turn of a doorknob when she is forced into joining a secret organization that claims to be protecting the Earth from aliens. But with every step she takes, she finds the organization, or the facility, as they call it, becoming more and more suspicious. When a mysterious death occurs, revealing a well-concealed secret, things quickly go downhill as humanity's future is placed on the shoulders of a single gaggle of teenagers. *** I hear a sigh from the other side of the door, "Miss. Chaucer, you have a wonderful opportunity here, are you going to take it or not?" Now, I am seriously confused, "Opportunity?" She takes advantage of my befuddled state and shoves the door open. Shit. The corners of her mouth pull up, and it's so unnatural, it takes me a moment to realize she's smiling. Major plastic surgery? Probably. Click. Did she just lock the door? She locked the door! I spring towards the house phone, dusty from years of doing absolutely nothing, so I can call the police. I don't make it. Halfway there, I trip on my own pant-leg and face plant on the floor. The woman steps over me and retrieves the phone. She looks at it as if it's a foreign object, "This won't be necessary. All I want to do is talk to you." For some reason, instead of screaming, I stay silent. She smiles and pulls out a chair from the kitchen table for me to sit on. When I don't sit, she says, "If you want to know what's going on, then sit." I think about it for a moment. She hasn't hurt me yet, and I have to admit, I am quite curious as to what's going on. So, call me stupid, but I sit down. "I am from a space organization that protects civilians from . . . outside threats." *** Beautiful cover made by @mahana258!
