《More Than What He Seems - A Fortnite Story No.1》Chapter 9 - What's Your Problem?

"Woah! I've never seen this place on the island before!" I exclaims, nudging Midas' elbow. "I find it pretty cool, what about you Midas?"
He looks down at me.
"Hm? Oh, sorry. Got lost in my thoughts again. It's not the most impressive, BUT we at least have somewhere to stay and to plan revenge against Chaos." He responds, clutching onto his sister's unconscious body.
"You think Jules will be okay?" I ask, slightly hopeful.
"She's a strong girl, she'll be fine." He tells me.
Hmm, I'm confused though. If Jules is Midas' sister, she'd know that he's team Ghost's leader, thus she'd be on the same side. But she isn't...how come?
What happened with them that tore them apart?
*****************************************
"Well I'll be!! Skye!! Haven't seen ya for months!"
A newcomer greets the crew. Wearing a Ghost helmet similar to Brutus' old one, but more decorated, a short blue jacket, pink shirt and purple and blue leggings, she runs up to Skye and embraces her with a big ol' hug.
"It's so good to see you again Ocean! You remember Sophie right?" Skye grins, nudging Ocean's shoulder.
An embarrassed Sophie does a smile and a wave to a friend she usually never sees that much.
"Eyy, I remember you! How are ya?" She greets the child.
"Well, you're certainly very cheerful, like agent Skye." Midas acknowledges, meeting Ocean for the first time. "By the way, I don't believe we've had the pleasure of meeting you, Ocean, you may call me M."
"M? Oh man, I didn't expect to see you here! No offense, but I heard rumours that you were killed." She says, holding out her hand.
"None taken, but no. I assume Shadow made up stories about me after my...'departure'." Midas wonders, clearing his throat.

"Well, I happy to say that since you...four intend on staying, I have plenty of rooms ready for use here at the Fortilla."
As Ocean gives a tour of the Fortilla, unknown to Midas, Jules has started stirring, waking up.
"Hm? What happened? Where am I?" She whispers. Upon seeing her brother, sweat begins to go down her forehead.
"Woah, Jules! Wait a sec!-" He shouts, her slipping from his grip.
"Don't touch me! Stay back!" She panics, taking out a clinger grenade.
"Wait, miss Jules! Calm down!" Sophie pleads, walking up to her. However, Jules sees it as threat, and slaps her away, very hard.
"Ow! Hey!"
Letting out a groan, Midas charges up to her, a frown on his face.
"Ok, that was just unnecessary. What the hell Jules?" He sighs.
"You're one to talk!! You flooded the entire fff... flipping island!!" She retaliates, resisting the urge to let out a bad word.
"Listen! I didn't know that was going to happen!"
"Yeah right! What did you even build it for?!"
"I...I..."
"Exactly."
"That's classified information, Jules."
"Jeez, just stop with the classy, classified talk! It's so annoying!"
"I'm sorry Jules, but you're not the Jules I remembered 14 years ago. What happened to you?"
"What's happened to me? You ABANDONED US!! ME AND MOM!! She wrote letters every day, begging you to come home, and yet no response came. You never cared about us."
"Jules, you're taking everything I did for you and throwing it away!!"
"I also see you've found a replacement for me too."
"What do you-"
"That kid, Midas. You care about her more don't you?"
"What, no! I just decided to take her under Ghost protection and..."

"See! My point exactly!"
"I always cared about you Jules! You AND mum!"
"No, we're just problems in your way. Toys you put away when you get bored with them-"
That second to last sentence is what sent Midas over the edge. His skin turning completely gold and his voice echoing as he yells.
Everyone is in stunned silence at Midas and Jules' heated argument and his enraged outburst. Even other nearby henchmen overhearing the debate are stunned. As the gold fades back to his wrists, putting a hand on his head, Midas falls onto the ground, unconscious.
"Midas!" Everyone panics. "Is he okay?!"
Skye, putting an ear near his heart, sighs in relief.
"He's ok, his power took a lot out of him though."
"Don't worry, I'll have Remedy take a look at him." Ocean reassures them, putting a finger on her earpiece, making the call.
Jules watches as Skye and Sophie pick Midas' body up and follow Ocean to one of the restrooms, her trailing behind reluctantly.

The Monster with no Magic
65 years ago, magic came to fruition. Now in a world wrought with the benefits that magic reaped, a young man who, whether through the curses of god, or through unfortunate circumstance, is born with no magical ability. A lackluster man, with the constitution of a monster who is more troubled by the fact that the convenience of magic is beyond him, rather than the actual fact that he cannot use magic. A man whose destiny is tied ever so delicately with the fate of the world....as if, this isn't that type of story. Read the adventures of a lazy young man who can't use magic in a world with magic. Original cover art by ãŸã‚€ã‚€ã‚‰. http://www.pixiv.net/member.php?id=798562 Currently on an indefinite hiatus. I have plans of maybe rewriting the story.

Child of Dusk
Life can be cruel, especially to those who don't fit in. But what would you do if you were given a second chance? Tim was a nobody during his time on Earth. As a penniless orphan with no friends to speak of, life was tough for him in his little Arizona town in the '90s. He'd utterly lost hope for the future until one day, he was reincarnated as Alvanue, beloved daughter and heir to the Starlit Throne of Silthonduen. Now, Alvanue has everything a princess could ever want: a loving family, loyal comrades and an entire kingdom at her finger tips. But what good is a kingdom when there's a whole world of magic and mystery out there to explore? *** Ok! Disclaimer time. I do edit my own work and I do not have a beta reader, so please feel free to point out any errors or plot holes (politely, of course). Each chapter will be around 4,000 to 6,000 words long and while I was posting every day at the beginning, I think I'll cut that down to once a week for now, excluding bonus chapters! I really don't want to get burned out. I started writing this because I love world building, so this is gonna be heavy on lore. If you're not into that, there's still a ton of character progression and action to look forward to! It's going to be slow at the beginning, but I promise it will pick up eventually. Thanks for checking my story out, I appreciate it a lot!
