Booming female laughter echoed over the neighborhood. Followed by an equally impressive voice, becoming louder as time went on. "So, you were embarrassed by having your 20-something daughter move back in with you and live in your basement? Hurt the ego of the mad scientist to have an under-achieving daughter? Well, during those chores you assigned me, I found your empowerment chamber. You've been bugging me to make something of myself? Well, that blackout across several states shows I'm routing all the power I can into making some BIG changes in myself. What I'm making of myself is: huge, powerful, and strong. No worries about me staying 'under your roof' any more, I've already grown through it. I can sense I've got even more growing to do, as I absorb your machine, and all its power. You wanted me to send out more job applications? Okay, I'll dictate one now: Position desired: New Ruler of the Earth Qualifications: 600 feet tall Invulnerable to any force humanity can bring

Holding Out For... *** A Story of the States of Grace RPG Universe *** The last battle of the Terran Vanguard, and the start of the Galactic Vanguard was many years in the past now. The reverberations and after-effects of that world-shaking conflict still echoed on, from the lives changed during those few short, cataclysmic days. Some champions' lives had been changed forever in those struggles, and they were set upon long and difficult paths. But all paths lead to something, in the end. ... These paths had led to another scene of a great battle, high above another Earth. In an isolated timeline far away from the pivotal timeline of the Galactic Vanguard. Distant enough that even the cross-timeline technology of the likes of Dr. Zarathustra would be hard-pressed to find it in the nigh-infinity of world possibilities. Very different in the balance of cosmic energy from the crux timelines, leading to a very different distribution of superhumans. One of those superhumans had

Tenfold By Eric T Johnson The talking raccoon looked around the forest around him, then back to the pair of hikers, a man and woman, standing in the clearing. "Look, I just want to be clear here." the creature clarified, "Yes. I'm a magical creature. I definitely owe you for rescuing me from that witch. And, I do admit, reluctantly, that the traditional reward is one wish each. I just want to manage expectations here." The human woman started to interrupt, but the raccoon held up his hand. "I'm not a genie. No wishing for anything of huge, world-altering scale. I can bend reality a bit, but not like a CGI special effects virtual reality, make-anything, kind of way. Think of it I can push the limits of biology and chemistry, but I can't break the laws of physics or anything. Well, I can conjure up objects and change things, but that's more a mass-energy conversion, with the local mana-reserves providing the energy." The raccoon shook his head. "I swear, your people's movies

Moving at a speed that was a compromise between stealth and rapid deployment, the rounded the corner ducked behind the cover of decorative hedges. Their progress in getting to the next observation point was delayed as the team lead found himself in front of a
