Earth Warriors (Undergoing Revision) by LuisPetrizzoRengel

In the year 2026, an alien race called the Zlocu led under the command of the bloodthirsty Emperor, Malgan Tomentradi, are waging war across the stars, believing that the era of peace was slowing down the next step of universal evolution. Now, they are determined to "awaken" everyone to let them know how peace made them weak. Recovering from a devastating global conflict, planet Earth took one of the worst hits from the Zlocu's onslaught. Despite the efforts of various governments, the Zlocu occupied 80% of Earth. Everything seemed hopeless until a group of celestial beings called "The Guardians" started to intervene in the conflict, spurred on by the discovery of the four physical incarnations that represent the principles of the Universe itself. All of them found on planet Earth, three Humans and an Alien. Now, these four heroes and other factions must work together to defeat the Zlocu Empire and Malgan's reign of tyranny. But more than war, they also must discover the meaning of being a hero and a warrior in the modern world, one in which Humanity may have lost its way. A tribute to the favorite anime and Science Fiction works of the 80s to the early 21st century, this is one tale to witness. ~Honors~ 1ST Place in Sci-fi category in the Purple Stars Awards 7TH Place in Sci-fi category in the Royalty Awards Cover by: Shrutiluvbooks #grandcafecommunity

Temptation by jezxzica

PLEASE READ MY STORY THE FLOWER LONGED DEATH INSTEAD THIS ONE IS NOT GOOD ! He reaches into his collar with two fingers and tugs it away from his sweaty neck. I pry into his presence until I can't any longer. He understood every damn word I just said to him, so his terrified eyes are piercing into mine. "What on Earth are you doing Adira?" he struggles to ask me. The fight against this gift is similar to the fight against mind control, except you have to battle your own urge for relief as well. After all this time I've spent seducing him, he should know exactly what I am now. -------------------------- 2102 is quiet the leap in time. Intergalactic travel, aliens, and even powers are what the world becomes known for. There is still a normal, functioning society to account for though. One ruled by an unfair leader that most of the country detests. When Adira Stefano finally gets her long awaited gift, she fears being forced into hiding. However, when she discovers someone that has faith in her, she realizes that true change is her new daunting temptation.
