Quote:"Wouldn't it be more productive to ensure they succeed so that they DON'T die?" The blonde deadpanned. Although he hardly thought a youma's life was worth much more than the slime he scraped off his boots in the evening, the generals never assumed their servants were going to fail ahead of time.

Xellos was silent for a few (precious) moments before he scooted over and put an arm around Zoicite's shoulder. "You're new at this whole hero vs. villain conflict thing, aren't you?"

Zoicite frowned. "Hardly. I was there in the final assault on the Moon Palace all those millennia ago. I struck down my share of Senshi."

Xellos snorted. "That was when you were fighting against a vast, interplanetary military juggernaut. Now you're fighting against a small group of lightly armed teenagers supported by a few talking animals. You don't stand a chance."

Quote:“Are you pondering what I'm pondering, Luna?” Hermione whispered.

“I don't know, Hermione,” Luna whispered back. “I'm pondering how fun it would be to gently show a few prominent Death Eater families our disapproval of their attempt on Harry's life.”

“Gently?” Hermione asked, a smile forming on her face as she contemplated the mayhem to come.

“Regrettably, showing proper disapproval would create an unacceptable hardship for innocent people in the fallout pattern.” Luna sighed. “Shame your father wouldn't let us build a fusion reactor.”

“Nothing says 'you annoyed me' better then tactical nuclear weapons,” Hermione agreed. “Come, Luna, we have work to do.”

Quote:Emily was having a bad time of things. First the Winslow incident had occurred, with Jacob’s niece in the middle of it. Which, because it was Jacob, meant that nobody wanted to get in the way of finding out what had happened. That was the good part. The bad part was that Sophia Fucking Hess had been one of the instigators.

And who the hell gives any child an actual middle name of ‘Fucking’? No wonder the girl was so screwed up.

"And I'm Uzumaki Naruto, ya know! I'm gonna kick your ass!"

"Oh? You and what army?"

That was the wrong question to ask...

Quote:“Morning glory team. Take your armour down the left flank. Sunflower, follow the CO’s banner down the center. Dandelion, take your company right, after you pass the wall. Forth, and fear no darkness! Arise! Arise, Tankers of Ooarai! Armour shall be shaken, treads shall be splintered! A HE day… a red day… ere the sun rises! Ride now!… Ride now!… Ride! Ride to ruin and the school’s closing! Panzer vor!”

Quote:The Kryptonian cyborg had initially been somewhat dubious of the concept of invoking ancient Kryptonian gods and goddesses for power. By the time the planet Krypton had blown up into a billion radioactive pieces, modern Kryptonian society had been mostly secular and science-fetishising, not spiritual.

But mythology and religion had played a role in shaping late-era Kryptonian philosophy and morality. So the Eradicator did have comprehensive records of Kryptonian scripture in its probe body's databases. The Eradicator simply hadn't believed any of it. Then again, as an artificial intelligence housed in a space probe, it hadn't had much cause to reflect on the state of its immortal soul.

Now, though? Sivana's copy of the Shazam empowerment proved, beyond any doubt, that there was real power in the old Kryptonian faiths. The results had very quickly changed the Eradicator's mind

Jack reckoned that the pantheon now had at least one genuine worshipper, even if she'd started life as a machine intelligence.

They hadn't just built a Kryptonian, they'd constructed the very first synthetic born again Neo-Orthodox Raoist.

There was a joke in there somewhere about hot religious girls, but Jack feared it would be in bad taste. He had standards.

Low standards, but standards all the same.

Quote:"Ahem. Hello, everyone!" Ruby declared to the confused students, "My name is Ruby Rose, and I just want to take this moment to let you all know that I can shoot Grimm-melting laser beams from my eyes. Thanks for listening!"

Quote:My vision flashed greenish white as the stasis field activated and the darkness of the chamber was replaced by a mostly mechanical man with tech tentacles, wearing a red robe with a cybernetic skull floating next to him as he bent over me.

The chamber was brightly lit by big spotlights and something out of sight skittered past on metal legs.

Fuck.

Snapping my right arm out, I stabbed my fingers through his electronic eye sockets before throwing him across my sarcophagus in the same movement as I sat up and looked around.

“Get off my lawn!”

The adeptus mechanicus all across the chamber froze and stared in my direction for a second before screaming and running, some with weapons charging in my direction.

I activated my teleportation field.
