"Okay, I know you don't know what's going on, but just follow my lead and be quiet, got it?

    The boy nodded, not knowing what he was in for. Sweat started tricking down his brow, not just due to the weather but to nervousness, he hasn't done anything like this before. But he swallowed his fear, and toughened himself. For for what was to come.
    
    "Ready?" Aero's cold eyes glinted with mischievous finesse.

    "Ready." Trevor responded. 

Codi James, a name that followed Aero around ever since she joined the new and improved Brax-Delta Gauntlet Academy. Everyone who knew about James had a tendency to compare one to the other. They had their similarities, but Aero was different: the was seen as graceful and cunning but her sly and mischievous tendencies usually ended in havoc. Sure she was an orphan, and was kicked out of many foster homes for being well...herself, but she had a spark in her. Something that would change the galaxy as we know it. But her story is only one side of a coin on the other there is Mark Vin a man with emense power who controls the Galaxy. Under his rule there was a new form of guard built, Drones. Made to keep people in check, but soon Vin's rule became more of a tyranny as loses touch with what little good morals he had in his quest to protect people from themselves.

3065 is marked down as the most dramatic year of the Gauntlet see how these two stories lead to that very moment.

    

                              ●●●

     Special thanks to Jamie Harris @words_are_weapons wrote the original Gauntlet series and inspired me to write this.

     It's a unofficial adaptation/continuation of his story, but it's still it's own book. This book goes outside the lines of the Gauntlet but it goes right back in.

Hope you enjoy and happy reading!

[COMPLETED] (and the writing in the beginning sucks. i might edit it but for now just know it gets at least slightly better over time) Oh, that's it! Gazzy, I thought you were on my side!" I huffed. "I'm easily persuaded," he said with a shrug that turned into a laugh as I took off after them. By the time Max and Fang arrived back at camp with six dead lizards in tow, we were all on the ground covered with a layer of sand and dust, out of breath but still laughing. "Oh jeez," Max said, but even Fang couldn't help but crack a smile. No matter what Itex might do to us, we would go through it together. ****************** My name is Sage Riale and I have wings. After being found out, I try to find the others like me - bird/human hybrids, that is - and a whole lot else in between. Either way, my life went to as normal as a girl with wing's life can get, to full of adventure, fighting, and loyalty. Plus the occasional, but not always normal, drama of a teenage bird girl. ****************** IMPORTANT NOTE: This is a fan fiction for The Maximum Ride series by James Patterson.

Exert: Little electric tingles raced through her fingers deep into her body where an increasingly familiar ping began to ricochet through her muscle fibres. She glanced at Adam with surprise as he collapsed unwillingly to his knees on the floor next to her. His eyes shone with irritation and apprehension as the first wave of his transformation overtook him and his body began to twist and lurch unpleasantly. Sierra bit back the pain as her own body began to do the same. The clothes ripped from her skin as her body grew and changed inside of them. Faintness started to threaten and she fought it back as long as she could to get her first glimpse of what she was becoming: she looked over to Adam to see a beautiful white tiger struggling on the floor in his place, the poor creature appearing dazed and unsteady, struggling to find its feet after the physical onslaught that had been thrust upon it. Sierra smiled to herself and let the darkness consume her, content with the knowledge that she'd just transformed into the same thing. "Well shit, that's different..." Adele remarked at length, effectively breaking the silence. --------------- A new job is usually a lot to deal with. When you add a new country and a newly discovered secret identity in the mix, it's more than just a lot! When Sierra arrives in Luxembourg, she has no clue what to expect or how to deal with everything, but she does know that she wants answers. The problem is, sometimes the search for answers only leads to more questions. 'Challenged' is the second book in the Skinwalker Series and it is still being fine-tuned. I'd love to hear your views and opinions on my sequel. I'd also be pretty interested to hear some ideas I can maybe add to my rough plot as I go. It's going to be a bumpy ride, but there should be some fun, embarrassing and action-packed times along the way!

"Goodbye Curly Head" by NUmaker

Through thick and thin the Law shall prevail. A new sense of purpose awaits us, children of light, in the land where it all began. The darkness in which we once cowered in fear, now curbed by the might of our endless light. Come, brothers, come, sisters. Let there be peace among the wicked, just as the Law dictates. Peace and certainty is all that you have ever longed for, little angel. A bright, stable future. A roof without holes above thy head. Acknowledgement and recognition of thy existence, feverish dreams of grandeur. Greed born from yearning, treacherous vines of rapacity taint your innocent soul. You seek a future that does not exist. Let thy fingers hold the fragile line between dream and nightmare. Let thy light navigate the path. Shall thee give in and falter, O' land of old, envelop his body in thy unending flame of chaos. Spit out nothing but an empty husk, the remnants of a smile once so bright. Shall thee prevail, O', Great Kazdel, I ask of you, the impossible - take mercy on the innocent. Don't let the radiance dim and don't let the mind turn bleak. Wake, young traveler. Bid thy farewells and burn thy bridges. It's time to say goodbye, curly head. Cross post from AO3. For a shorter and more on-point description, look no further! I had something silly written up before throwing it out in exchange for that wall of text upstairs. It's a little story "about a young, dumb sankta who's been dealt a bad hand at life, looking for his place in all this mess. The pointless search for a better future leads him far, far away from home, to a country forever ravaged by war and misery - Kazdel, the promised land where devils roam free and peace feels out of place." Anyway, it's quite lengthy, but hopefully enjoyable? Slide a comment if you want, I'll give you a tiny kiss on the forehead. Man, do I love comments. (Lastly, to point out, English is not my native language, but I don't think it'll be much of an issue ;3)

Maxine is an 18-year-old girl who is bored and lonely, living in California in the year 2351. She's always been fascinated with how humans used to live in houses, drive cars, and the fact that there used to be forests and parks everywhere. Now, after a war that nearly erased humanity, people are forced to live a strict, dull, communist lifestyle. Everyone seems okay with this way of life. Everyone except Maxine. Maxine had always been special; she was often able to predict events. How? She didn't exactly know...yet. When she starts having dreams about a tropical island where people live as they did in the 21st century, she meets the man of her dreams: literally. Her new boiling emotions bring her to wonder...what if it's a real place? When she starts her search for the island and bumps into Elis-the man in her dreams-she suddenly knows it wasn't all just a making of her imagination. Finding that island could mean finding the answers to her burning questions, and maybe even answers to questions she didn't know she had. However, not everything is what she thought it would be when she finally finds the island, and her dreams become a harsh reality. Elis turns out to be someone else, and when another man swoops in every time Maxine is in danger, she becomes confused about what love really is. The Advisors, the ten women governing the world, want to assimilate the people of the island, not knowing that those people have an extreme advantage over them. Maxine also learns that her family has been lying to her about who she really is. Ultimately, when the Advisors come to destroy the island, she must face the fact that she is the key to the island's salvation, and embracing her rapidly developing abilities is the only way to do so.

"Think about it," urged Cole, "How do you think everyone would react if they found out what you do during your spare time, especially your sister." She narrowed her eyes ."Are you blackmailing me?" she asked crossing her arms and raising her chin. "No, I never said that." Cole held up his hands yet grinning mischievously. "We're just saying that it would be in your best interest, along with ours if you joined us." shrugged Lucas. "You can't prove anything," she bluffed.

I look at all the men in the group who had their jaws dropped, all except for one, "Touch me one more time, and I'll brake your arm in two." I stand and kick his back so he falls on the concert.
