Project Super Nex, Chapter Eight: Spuring The Horse

"You're pretty early, Wyatt!" "Early bird catches the beetle, Dr. Fulbright. No better time to catch it than today." "No better time indeed," said Xavier, handing Wyatt an antiallergenic napkin, waving an arm to the ajar door of his office. "Come in, come in. Penelope's even earlier than you." Wyatt entered Xavier's office, where Penelope … Continue reading Project Super Nex, Chapter Eight: Spuring The Horse →

Project Super Nex, Chapter Seven: Geanthoff

"I'm so sorry about this, Wyatt. This could have been a triumph, a down-to-Vestral triumph, but now we've lost so many good Starsapiens, and all for what?" "For an insignificant mission," said Wyatt in his darkest tone, almost a growling one, and his eyes flicked up at Xavier. "A thoughtless, frivolous, shallow, insignificant mission." Xavier, … Continue reading Project Super Nex, Chapter Seven: Geanthoff →

Project Super Nex, Chapter Six: Journeyers

"Here's the Journeyer-class spaceship fleet for today's invasion!" announced Xavier, waving his arm with a merry flourish. "Beauties, if I do say so myself. Thirty beautiful ships."

Project Super Nex, Chapter Four: Two Serendipitous Encounters

Neither air bullets from W16s nor heat blasts from pokers inflicted anything more than dents and small burns on Grimhets' armored flesh as they stampeded out of the vortex. Wyatt and Penelope were quick to switch to energy orbs and switchguns, but it was Gene's gas bomb that gave everyone a break. He hurled it … Continue reading Project Super Nex, Chapter Four: Two Serendipitous Encounters →

Project Super Nex, Chapter Three: The Infection

Wyatt took a seat in the crossbus as the first guitar riff of a song by his favorite band, Emovere, played over the radio. He leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes, and drummed his hand on his lap while the crossbus zoomed away from the Cerebral satellite, into the spacetime tunnel. There was … Continue reading Project Super Nex, Chapter Three: The Infection →

My 2 Cents on RWBY: Volume 6 – Episode 10, “Stealing From The Elderly”

This is by no means a perfect episode, but the setup of our heroes' daring scheme to escape Argus is entertaining enough and supplemented by a sprinkling of RWBY's brand of irreverent humor.
