Taking place in the midst of the War of Cybernetics, the young and feeble Alan finds himself in a grim situation. A situation that causes him to leave his hometown with a group of the King's army known as The Collectors - people whose soul purpose is to collect kids in each town of the Kingdom to draft them into the war.

That is when Alan realizes the full extent of the tactics that are being used in the war. Tactics that involve taking over a person's will and transforming them into monsters, enlightened to the point of madness. Their transformation is based off of the gas in which they had inhaled, and they are classified into four categories: Witches, Enlightened, Giants, and Grazers. 

With the help of a scientist who takes the bodies of dead individuals and turns them into robotic soldiers, Alan must convince the newly-appointed Emperor to revoke the Collection Process in favor of said robots.

Legion Britannia, "Steam and Steel" by JamesSwallowGaunt

In the wake of Rome's collapse, the winds of change swept across the ancient world, carrying with it the remnants of an empire on the brink of annihilation. As chaos engulfed the once-mighty civilization, a beacon of hope emerged amidst the turmoil-the island of Britannia. In this land of mist and legends, the wealthy and powerful sought refuge, forging a new path in the face of impending darkness. They formed the Imperium Britannia, a bastion of strength and resilience, determined to withstand the relentless onslaught of the Gothic Empire. Centuries passed, and as the world evolved, so did Britannia. It embraced the golden age of steam, where colossal war machines, driven by the power of steam, became the embodiment of its indomitable spirit. These mechanical behemoths, with their thunderous roars and billowing smoke, dominated the battlefields, skies, and vast oceans, becoming the ultimate weapon against the encroaching Gothic Empire. Now, in the year 2045, the legions of Imperium Britannia find themselves locked in an epic struggle for survival. The Gothic Empire, fueled by a thirst for power and expansion, unleashes its relentless hordes upon the last bastion of resistance. The fate of an empire hangs in the balance as the war rages on. Heroes rise from the ashes, their hearts ablaze with the spirit of defiance. From the towering war machines that shake the earth with their every step to the swift airships that dance through the clouds, the forces of Imperium Britannia stand united, ready to confront an enemy that seeks to crush their final resistance. Prepare to embark on an exhilarating journey into a world where steam and steel collide, where the fate of an empire rests upon the indomitable will of its people. The battle for Imperium Britannia has only just begun, and its echoes will resonate through the ages, forever etching their mark upon the annals of history.

TK Special #7 - Return to the M'Verse: An Ooorah Anthology by Ooorah

Each of the stories featured herein is set within a Universe of the writer's creation, while all being a part of a larger, shared Multiverse. At the Ooorah Mothership, we call this the M'Verse. Writers have free rein to tell the story they want to tell, providing it's sci-fi in nature and no more than 5000 words in length... then it's all good! There are, however, five "rules" to which all created Universes within the shared Multiverse must adhere. Think of them as non-mandatory prompts that weave an invisible, unbreakable web throughout this anthology. But that shouldn't prove too difficult for the writers partaking... It's time to RETURN TO THE M'VERSE.

Metal Poison: Restless Absolution by Rycanrock

The sun is dying out. Nations combine into super nations in an attempt to carve a way to their own survival. While the people hide for warmth, wars are waged by robotic armies over resources and bad blood. Military force is further enhanced by super soldiers called Blazers; cyborgs that combines the certainty and power of machine with the fluidity and intelligence of a living warrior. Scorpion is one such warrior who holds the key to putting an end to all this madness and perhaps usher in an era long since lost to the world.

From now on we shall call this noble goal... MergePunk!
