Phantom Star: Chapter 33

A/N: I know some people are wondering what's going on with Phantom Star, I realize it's been a while, and I've been asked a few times if it's a dropped story or something. It's definitely not. I just put it on the back burner after GitC sort of came back as that had been on a hiatus because I was just burned out.

Phantom Star isn't always the easiest story to write either, but it's not dead, just... On the back burner like how GitC was for a little bit. I promise I will let everyone kno...

PTV: Early Chapter 105

“Alright, do you got it?” I asked, and Arcanine huffed, her breath snorting out of her nose as she was ready.

Or at least she thought she was.

I nodded, and we looked down the beach. We’d gotten an empty spot to practice. Arms crossed in front of me, and my Z Ring lit up glowing fiercely!

Arms out, Then back in wrists crossed, both arms to my right side, and then my left going wide fist into my navel, other fist up to my forehead!

The Z power erupted from me, sur...

Ghost in the City: Early Chapter 217

I’d hung out with Malcolm for a while, but we eventually split up as it was getting late.

Giving me time to look over my updates.

Quick Hacks skill level up!

1 Perk Point Gained.

This was big all on its own. I’d finally managed to get Quick Hacks to 10. That last level up from 9 to 10 was really a slog, but I’d managed it.

The feeling of surety in how to twist and alter Data on the fly felt surreal. What was a Quick Hack, but a long hack a...

Ghost in the City: Early chapter 216

When I exited the club I was struck with by the image of Sasha hissing and cussing as she actively was trying to breach into the club, despite… No, she was playing more than anything, like throwing rocks at a wall. It would send a message to Yoko every time no doubt, but it wasn’t enough that the defenses started up.

“Sasha?”

“Huh? Oh Kitten.” She stood up from her slightly hunched over position and wiped herself down like she hadn’t been doing anything weird before...

Ghost in the City: Early Chapter 215

“So you’re basically exploring a haunted house?” I sent a very flat look over at Malcolm who from the smirk he was sending me knew that wasn’t what I had said at all.

“It’s an old server.”

“So like an old house, abandoned and alone.”

“Full of old data.”

“Good stuff hidden in the attic.” He added and I felt my eye twitching.

“And full of Daemons to protect it.”

“Ghosts there to kill trespassers.”

“I’ll kill yo...

Ghost in the City: Early Chapter 214

I clicked onto the Comm call we were all using as I looked away from rechecking the scope. Check in.

All clear. 

Nothing here either.

Same as before. 

I nodded and continued to scan the area. It was Section 9’s work day, and we’d gotten a bit of a different gig than normal.

Fujimura was our client this time. Apparently a few too many of his shipments of product had been hit, a bit too routinely. 

S...

Ghost in the City: Early Chapter 213

I ended up following the group to their ripper, in some upstairs clinic. Sam was put into a chair and instantly filled with drugs which had the man relaxing and falling into a listless sleep.

“Thanks again.” Bishop said to me, as we all watched the Ripper go over Sam scanning and looking him over.

“It was fun. Don’t get to sneak into a corp office like that very often.” I said simply before looking at the older man. His eyes hidden behind a set of g...

PTV: Early Chapter 104

I kicked my legs as the warm Alolan Sun beat down on me, wind rushing past my face.

This was what it was all about. Blue Heart made a happy rumbling noise as I continued to rub his scales as we flew around in circles, high above the beach.

“I’m happy too.” I told him, smiling as we floated along. Too bad it was probably time to head down. “We probably should get back Blue Heart. As much as I love flying with you, we can’t just do it all day.”

My words had an...

Phantom Star: Chapter 32

It took two weeks to get all the salvage out of my hold, get my missiles and new equipment installed, and do a check on my systems.

Honestly the Shield Emitters were fine, but I still felt more comfortable after doing a check. 

I spent some time looking for a quick job just to get us moving again, the Phantom Star was off. Pulling away from UNK-L To the emotional goodbyes once again.

The three of us all sat around the new mess table. It wasn’...

Ghost in the City: Early chapter 212

A/N: Sorry it's been a bit and my schedule is still completely off. I've just felt like complete Scop (Heh Cyberpunk joke.) this entire week. Allergies, and family drama and more. Has just left me feeling compeletely creatively bankrupt.

Hopefully after this, I'll be able to break my writers block and start feeling better to get back into the groove of things. It's only been like a week, and I'm already missing writing a bunch, but I just end up staring at a page.

Phantom Star: Chapter 31

A/N: Sorry about how long it's been. Things have been a bit... Crazy. Things are starting to calm down in my life, and I'm getting over being pretty miserably sick. I can't promise full schedule return just yet, but I'll work on getting there as soon as I can.

----

I dropped into the Captain's chair with a sigh of relief. Looking out the window I could see UNK-L. 

It was nice to be back, but there was also the problem of everyone wanting some of my time to he...

PTV: Early Chapter 103

“It’s normal for it to take a while.” Nurse Joy once more said and I nodded as I turned back to the machine she’d promised the balls would be delivered through.

I just… Was getting a bit antsy, no reason, it wasn’t like my best friends were being transferred electronically from halfway across the planet through basically dialup internet. 

Okay it wasn’t actually dialup. The Pokemon Centers used a crazy schizo tech pokemon internet connectio...

Ghost in the City: Early Chapter 211

“She’s okay.” Hiromi assured everyone as I sat face down on the table in the back of the club. The cool towel over the back of my head helped, but…

AAAAAAAAAAAAH!

What had I just done!? 

“Well, normally I don’t let randoms steal my stage, but damn if that wasn’t an act. Hell, pretty funny to be playing some amateurs songs only for her to be there.” The owner of the club mentioned laughing a bit.

“Well i...

Phantom Star: Chapter 30

“So… Captain?”

“Yes?”

“You always do this?” Sin called out and I just threw her a thumbs up from where I was laying under a chunk from the destroyed pirate ship. I was currently removing part of the ship's comm system.

Considering I needed to upgrade the Phantom’s Comms for Electronic Warfare, I might as well start here. 

“Alright!” I chirped as I had the Crabbits pull me out, and I was able to remove the comm ...

PTV: Early Chapter 102

“Alola!” I cheered out as I walked up the dirt path. Jangmo-o at my side practically buzzing as his claws tippy tapped into the dirt. He wasn’t so much walking as vibrating so hard he kept moving forward.

“Alola!” Hala called back, and I noticed he wasn’t alone.

I nodded to Olivia who was seemingly here to watch and a few others that I didn’t recognize. 

“Victoria, we have some who wished to watch the trial, I hope that y...

Ghost in the City: Early Chapter 210

The bar wasn’t the same japanese themed bar I had watched the Violent Hemorrhage play at last time. It was actually more like a dive bar.

Jeez. Were they struggling to get gigs or something?

I shrugged it off as I found a place to park and just settled in. Alice drove slow so I had time, which is of course when I recognized a very familiar Caliburn in the lot.

Smirking, I got out and headed over, to see Malcolm trying to play up his coolnes...

Ghost in the City: Early Chapter 209

“You got it?” I asked Hiromi who nodded firmly. I took that as the truth and moved away from her. 

Malcolm was already shooting away. He wasn’t using his Shingen since smart rounds were expensive, but a Shigure he had pulled out of his truck.

He was firing away, which I nodded at his accuracy. He could use some work, but that was why we were here. 

I hadn’t really planned on a group meeting, but Hiromi had requested it, and ...

Phantom Star: Chapter 29

I landed in the hold with a gentle exhale as I looked behind me. 

Hehe! The pirate freighter that I had destroyed had been a gold mine. Even if most of the components on the ship were trashed, some things had survived.

The glowing Medium Iris Drive the Crabbit were hauling in behind me was exactly what I had hoped to find in the wreck.

“That’s a good find.” Hammond offered from deeper in the hold, although the large man seemed unco...

Phantom Star: Chapter 28

Sinclair Kirkbride

“What the fuck.” She hissed as she stared into a mirror. Grandpa… Her Grandpa had shown up out of the blue with an AI warship and rescued her…

The same man that had said without hesitation he would put a blaster through her skull when she ran off to join Trent. She’d thought it funny then. As she called him a relic on the comm, the last time she’d seen him fourteen years ago.

But now?

S...

Phantom Star: Chapter 27

With both ships disabled, this fight was mostly over. 

But just because the ships were dead, didn’t mean the pirates were.

As the Phantom came up on the side of the overridden pirate freighter, I could already see pirates on the hull of the ship, those that had survived the decompression and being yanked out of their ship already returning to try and retake it.

“Do it.” I whispered to myself as my thumb hesitated over the button. I...

PTV: Early Chapter 101

“Pfft pfft!” I spit the sand out as I slowly rolled over so I wasn’t just face down in the dirt. “Ugh it’s in my mouf!” I whined.

“Vicky!” Papa was there, and hoisting me up and all that really did was get sand spit into his face as I tried and failed to get more out. “Vicky.”

“Sowwy.” I muttered tongue stuck out and I knew it was covered in sand.

“I got a drink, are you alright?” Mama asked as she hurried over with a drink and kneeli...

PTV: Early Chapter 100 (We made it!)

“An Island Challenge?” Papa asked, looking between me and Hala confused.

“I accept.” I said before anything else could be stated, because this was the entire reason I was here!

Well, that and the beaches!

Hala smiled at me, but looked at Papa. 

“Unlike the mainland, we on Alola don’t have a League, or a Gyms. We instead hold Island Trials. Tasks that our young ones complete to learn about our home, your daughter has...

PTV: Early Chapter 99

It took a little bit to get Dratini to properly get the move copied to the TM maker. But once he got the hang of it, things started flowing and soon enough we had four TM's with no idea if they were actually different or not.

“Alright! Now comes the interesting experimental part!” Kukui said as he pulled out a Pokeball and released a pokemon outside.

“Exeggutor!” It rumbled a bit, and I looked up and up as the incredibly tall Pokemon towered upwards.<...

PTV: Early Chapter 98

“And your battle in the Finals! Well, I think that one…”

“I wasn’t really trying to show off there. I didn’t want to really reveal everything, since I’m going to challenge the Elite Four, and I was just kind of tired.”

“Well it was still amazing.” Kukui offered with a boyish grin that had me grinning back. We were sitting around the edge of the festival, Mama and Papa nearby but I was having fun talking to Kukui. “I’ll say that I’m Burn Up excited after...

PTV: Early Chapter 97

“Mama!” I called out as Riolu and I raced down the beach. It hadn’t taken long once Riolu was done surfing to find our family.

The three of them were under an umbrella on the beach with drinks in their hands enjoying the surf. 

But the best part was definitely the funny novelty sunglasses Lucario was wearing. 

“Vicky.” Mama greeted me with a raise of her glass but she didn’t even sit up, no she was fully relaxed.

—--

“Nobody knows the trouble I’ve seen.” I sang as I clicked a cup that Officer Jenny had given me along the bars. “Nobody knows my sorrow!” 

My completely on tune, and deep baritone voice that definitely resembled the original singer of that song, and that wasn’t at all super fucking annoying continued on…

Cause that was the only part of that song I actually remembered.

Officer Jenny se...

PTV: Early Chapter 95

Airports were boring.

I kicked my feet as we sat on the seats waiting for our plane to accept boarding. We’d gone through a ton of stuff. Pokeball scanners that inspected our pokemon, full body scanners to ensure no additional pokeballs were hiding anywhere, and we’d had to do some paperwork before all of this to explain some of the rules about capturing pokemon in Alola, that would basically hold us liable if we went against it.

The rule was simple enoug...

PTV: Early Chapter 94

It was a quiet morning even though I was hanging out on the porch watching the road.

Today was the day the annual journey began. When young ten year old trainers headed off into the wilds with nothing but a pokemon and gumption.

It was also something I’d kinda been looking forward to.

See there was another bit of cultural stuff that trainers starting their journey don’t really think about.

All the trainers that had alread...

PTV: Early Chapter 93

The next morning despite wanting to just stay inside where it was nice and warm, I ran around gathered up a specific set of pokemon, and then hit the stable, to collect the others and then flew all the way back across Kanto and a mountain range to once again get to experience the tight mountain banks, and awesome paths leading to Blackthorn City.

Dragonite without a second passenger, and knowing where we were going? Might have gone a bit fast.

Other Dragonite...
