“Ah, good timing,” Carlos said as Nicole and Grace arrived. The other firefighters goggled a bit at the sight of two Rangers. “As you can see, we have two Rangers joining us. Anyone who thinks they might have a hint at who these two are, lose them now. Learning a Ranger’s identity can be dangerous, both for you and them. As for why I know…”
He brandished some strange device that looked a lot like a cell phone. “Emergency Rescue!”...

Nicole frowned down at her homework, trying to work through the workload her professors thought was acceptable for a week of downtime due to the attack. It wasn’t an unreasonable amount for self study, but some people were grieving, or traumatized. She didn’t get a pass just because she was there, neither did Grace for that matter.
The thing was, after going out and rescuing people from the fires, Nicole was more than a little antsy. She wanted to get out the...

Adrift.
That was a good word for how Nicole felt ever since her parents were killed. She couldn’t even claim a desire for vengeance, despite being killed during an incursion, it had been human hands that ended their lives. The Sylan were just the excuse that the real monsters used to justify their crimes.
Despite becoming a Ranger, that had done little to give Nicole a reason to continue. All it really did was give her a reason to bow out in an hono...

Nicole looked across the rolling fields of green and gold, a handful of butterflies flitting about in the afternoon light. A nap had indeed been had, granted it was barely an hour, but she felt better than she had that night. Grace once again picked her up, opting to carpool rather than take their own vehicles to the same place.
They ate light, picking up some fast food on the way to the park. They were the first to arrive, though the others filtered in not long ...

Nicole’s French toast was a bit burnt, but that didn’t stop her from eating each and every bite of it as slowly as she could, all to avoid the looming conversation that she could tell Grace was just itching to dig into. Still, she wasn’t an accomplished introvert for nothing, and if there was one thing she was good at, it was avoiding awkward conversations.
“Still stalling?” Grace asked after a moment. “You’ve been staring at your empty plate for five min...

Nicole shot awake, sweat dripping from her as she gasped for breath. Images of mechanical eyes and severed limbs lingered as the last vestiges of her nightmare retreated back into her subconscious. The nightmare wasn’t new, but was amplified by the day’s events. Looking around, she was on the couch, in her night shirt and a blanket was tangled around her.
Right, she was back in her dorm safe and sound, Nicole glanced at the clock and groaned. ...

Nicole leaned against the wall in silence, her outfit and weapons had returned once she dismissed the transformation, the relief she felt at that was shared by most of those in the room. Grace in particular had been especially enthusiastic about it. The only thing missing were her glasses, which she didn’t seem to need anymore. As much of a solace as all that was, Nicole wasn’t looking forward to what was about to happen.
Once the paramedics and police ...

Nicole blinked as the world came back in a rush, color returning all at once as everything snapped into focus. The blade was still there, now moving towards her, but it was oh so slow. Nicole brought her leg up, and pushed the machine away. It was almost effortless, and she used that same motion to hop to her feet.
Even with years of gymnastics experience, she couldn’t have explained how fluid that had been, how easily she managed it. The machin...

A loud thunk sounded as a blade was slammed tip first into the counter ahead of her, the smith running the shop rather proud of his work as he demonstrated exactly how rugged their blades could be. Some of the other shops were pansy asses about things, insisting you couldn’t handle a blade until you bought it, or winced when you tried a swing.
Not this shop.
It wasn’t often that something like this came along anymore, especially given the state of the world at larg...

With Volume Two wrapping up in May, it is time to offer Volume Three to Patreon supporters!
Due to the switch to three chapters a week, I'm going to do something a little different here, and offer the highest tier of support a 15 day early access to the advanced chapters.
