《C.O.L.A. BERATION》CHAPTER 22
Advertisement
Charlie is on the ground, looking up at Frank.
CHARLIE
What are you doing here?
FRANK
I'm here, saving your butt.
CHARLIE
Saving me?
Charlie closes his eyes and begins to rub the top of his head.
CHARLIE
I don't even remember you coming near me.
FRANK
Figures...You were in too much pain to realize it.
CHARLIE
Pain?! My eye...It doesn't hurt anymore.
Frank looks at Albert, Kindra, and Logan.
FRANK
That eye of yours, that's what he's after.
CHARLIE
But how will my eye help him?
FRANK
I don't know, but he plans on using that machine to do so.
CANDICE
Frank?!
Frank turns his head toward Candice.
FRANK
Oh. Hey, Candice.
CANDICE
That's all you got to say to me?
FRANK
What do you want me to say?
CANDICE
(Sarcasm)
I don't know. Maybe something like (using a deep voice) "Candice, I'm glad you're safe."
FRANK
Why the hell would I do that? Do you not know who I am?
CANDICE
Still a dick as ever, huh?
CHARLIE
Told you.
Cindy looks at all of them.
CINDY
I really hate to spoil the reunion, but I believe we have bigger things to worry about right now.
Charlie, Frank, Candice, and Cindy turn their attention toward Albert, Kindra and Logan.
FRANK
You're right, Mindy.
CINDY
What?
Charlie stands up.
CHARLIE
But how are we supposed to stop them and that machine?
CINDY
Wait... What did you just call me?
CANDICE
We have no choice. We have to take them all on.
CINDY
Yes. Just keep on ignoring me.
Candice looks at Cindy.
CANDICE
I'm sorry Cindy. Did you say something?
CINDY
(sarcasm)
Nope. Nothing at all.
CANDICE
OK. I just thought you were being a bitch.
CINDY
WHAT?!
CANDICE
(sarcasm)
Nothing.
FRANK
HEY! You two need to focus.

CINDY
(Whisper) I'll focus my foot up her ass.
CHARLIE
4 against 3... The odds are in our favor.
CANDICE
Bullshit! Cindy and I had a hard enough time trying to defend ourselves against that woman over there.
CHARLIE
You two must be weak.
CANDICE
Says the guy who was on the ground when I first saw him.
CHARLIE
At least I didn't get beat up by a girl.
Candice hit Charlie on the head making him grab his head out of pain.
CANDICE
Not yet, anyway.
CHARLIE
OWWWW! I was just in pain... Cut me some slack.
FRANK
KNOCK IT OFF! WE DO NOT HAVE TIME-
Suddenly, Kindra comes from out of nowhere and kicks Frank in the back. He flies to the roof's entrance and crashes into the door, falling to the ground afterward.
CHARLIE
What the...
CANDICE
Still think I'm weak?
CHARLIE
...Yes.
CANDICE
Shut up!
KINDRA
You really shouldn't turn your back on the enemy.
LOGAN
Same goes for you.
Logan has his blades to Kindra's back.
KINDRA
Logan? I knew I couldn't trust you.
LOGAN
You have a smart head on your shoulders. I did what you guys wanted for my own personal goals. This was my plan from the beginning.
KINDRA
I had a feeling you would betray us one day.
LOGAN
If only Albert knew as well.
KINDRA
He did.
LOGAN
What?!
A remote slips down Kindra's sleeve and into her hand. She presses a button and Logan starts to get electrocuted.
LOGAN
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
He falls to the ground, not moving.
CHARLIE
LOGAN!
KINDRA
Now that we got the nuisance out of the way, where were we?
CHARLIE
Why would you do that to him?
KINDRA
Traitors must be dealt with accordingly.
Candice looks at Josaline and sees she is still passed out on the ground.

KINDRA
The same goes for Josaline.
CHARLIE
YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO KILL HIM!
Charlie charges at Kindra and throws a punch, aiming for her face. Kindra avoids the punch by turning slightly to the left. Next, she kneed him in the stomach.
CINDY
CHARLIE!
ALBERT
DON'T KILL HIM, KINDRA. I NEED HIS EYE WHILE HE'S ALIVE.
Charlie is breathless for a moment, unable to move. Next, Kindra hand palms Charlie in the chest, forcing him to fly back and fall to the ground from where he started. Cindy quickly makes her way to his side.
CINDY
Are you OK?!
Charlie is trying to catch his breath while slowly getting back on his feet.
CHARLIE
Never...better...
CANDICE
We have to work together in order to defeat her.
Candice begins to sweat.
CANDICE
(Even if we work together, I don't think it's enough to bring her down.)
KINDRA
If you give up now, your friends won't get hurt.
CHARLIE
I will never give up! NOT TO YOU! NOT TO MY DAD! NOT TO ANYBODY!
KINDRA
Suit yourself.
Kindra looks at Josaline.
KINDRA
I'll start with her then.
CHARLIE
WAIT! NO!
Kindra rushes to Josaline and raises her leg to execute an axe kick. Charlie begins to run to Kindra and Josaline.
CHARLIE
JOOOOOSAAAALIIIIINNNE!
Kindra brings her foot down with enormous power behind it. Frank comes from nowhere and blocks Kindra's axe kick with his forearm while looking down at Josaline.
CHARLIE
FRANK!
FRANK
I don't like it when people attack the defenseless.
Frank looks at Kindra with a smirk.
FRANK
Especially, if you're the one who's the attacker.
Frank quickly grabs Kindra's leg and pulls her toward him. He attempts to punch Kindra in the face, but she manages to block the punch with both hands. She is sent flying back and lands on the ground while sliding backwards on her back. She stops sliding once she is directly in front of Albert.
CINDY
Whoa!
CANDICE
Where did you get all that power from?
CHARLIE
Fuck that... How do I get that kind of power?
Frank stands up and walks over to Logan. He picks Logan up and lays him next to Josaline.
FRANK
Did you forget, Charlie? I'm dead.
CANDICE and CINDY
DEAD?!
CHARLIE
Oh yeah. I totally forgot.
Candice looks at Charlie.
CANDICE
You knew this and you didn't tell me?!
CHARLIE
Sort of slipped my mind!
CINDY
How could that slip your mind?!
FRANK
Enough with the questions. They're about to make their move.
Charlie, Candice, and Cindy looks at Albert and Kindra. Albert softly kicks Kindra in the head.
ALBERT
How long are you going to lie down?
KINDRA
Sorry, sir.
Kindra gets back on her feet.
CHARLIE
What is she?!
FRANK
An experiment.
Kindra tilts her head toward the ground and takes her hair out of a pony tail. After a few seconds, she raises her head to look at Charlie and company, for them to witness her pupils being red and having an evil-like grin on her face.
KINDRA
It's time to play!

Shura Saga: Burn and Slay - Cultivation, Lightning Bolts, Monsters galore
“If it lives, we can slay it. And then burn it, just to make sure it doesn’t come back from the dead,” she said. “...does that happen often?” he asked. “Slaying? Yeah, duh? It’s what we're here to do in the first place, dummy.” “I meant the coming back from the dead part.” “Eh. More often than you’d like.” “Great. Just great.” Walking away from a life drenched in senseless bloodshed, Raksha embarks on the Warrior’s Pilgrimage. In doing so, he strives to hone his mind, spirit, and martial skills, and he swears to abide by the Ancient Code’s tenets of honor and compassion. He definitely did not expect to run into Sadea, a powerful sorceress who loves silk, jewels, and killing things for fun and profit. Neither did he expect to be stuck with her as they fight murderous mutants, vicious monsters, and demons. She calls their entanglement a beautiful partnership, but it’s the last thing he needs. Or so he thinks.

Reincarnated As A Benevolent Tyrant
NOTICE: This story is under rewrite. New novel has been published. Search **RE: Tyranny** in Royalroad for the new novel.Link- Re: Tyranny Thank You! ------------------------ "Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory." What a brilliant line, isn't it? James was a boy who had nothing to worry about. A happy family, a nice childhood. What's more to ask? But one day, everything changed. He lost everything in the blink of an eye. The only thing left for him were the memories and dreams of the past. Trying to cope up with the loss, he cut all ties with the outside world and became a shut-in, having no one left to call his own or to rely upon. There was nothing left for him in this world, but still he lived and soon found a purpose in his life, which lead him to create something that could change the world.And on the very day when his dream project was about to come to the light, he lost his life, trying to save a little girl from an unfortunate accident. "Will I ever be remembered...? I wish... someone would." These were the last word James mumbled before his conscious faded into darkness. But his life didn't end there, as he is transmigrated into the body of an arrogant, worthless Duke's son in some unknown land with no memories about who is or any idea about where he is. In an era of political turmoil and civil strife, the Duke's son is forced to prove his worth for inheriting the title. Will he be able to accept the new reality and prove himself by leading this country into a prosperous future? Or will he cease to the pressure of his past and lose everything once more? Disclaimer: This is not a power-fantasy or a 'feel-good' story. If you feel a protagonist should never lack agency (especially in early story) or make compromises because of difficult circumstances, then this fiction is probably not for you. It is a story that delves deep into real world sociological/psychological subjects and explores many topics of gray morality. I wrote it because I like stories that make me think more about the world around us, not to detach myself from reality. Some aspects you can expect based on the tags include:- [Kingdom Building]: political drama, geopolitical/geoeconomic strategy- [Army Building]: massive battles featuring in-depth planning, combined arms, and operational logistics- [Identity Crisis]: someone translated into a whole different world having to rebuild their identity and life aims The story starts off slowly, more like a slice of life than action-adventure, but I guarantee you it will get there. For those who want to skip the slow part, start from Chapter - 35 (Beginning of The End) (The whole Disclaimer section is copied from Aorii as I am too busy writing the complete story.) And yes, just for General Knowledge, James will become OP throughout the story. He is not some legendary guy who will pull out Excalibur & conquer the entire world. Update Schedule - One chapter a day. This novel is also available on Scribble Hub. And again, I humbly thank you for reading it. I hope you stick throughout the journey.
