In His Mind
Eventually, the bottle of fine spirit wine was finished and the two changed into their regular outfits. Steel made sure that his gun was loaded, cultists rarely listened to logic and reason. Even the Grim Reaper made sure that she could swing her...
A Fine Wine
A simple housecall. Steel was thrilled as he drove down a his van, "Just an easy job, decent pay, no violence. Life is good..." He zoned as he drove down the desolate road and into an upper-class suburb. The house was easy to spot despite matching...
True Colors
Steel could barely hold on to the grocery bags as he hit the "3" button the in elevator. He was the only one that could actually go shopping without causing a major issue, and so he was often volunteered. Since last week, Cleopatra had made more...
Of Vampires and Men
Sabrina had lined up another contract which took Steel out into the middle of nowhere. A small rural town without much value or reason to visit. However, a vampire had been attacking livestock and some of the townspeople. Aqua had filed papers more...
Two-fer
True to her word, Cleopatra had her people get together a few new jobs that had otherwise went unnoticed. The first was relatively easy and more definite, the second could have been just hallucination or fear based. In either case, he decided to head...
Steel and the Mummy
A man known as Steel, owner and operator of the Paranormal Detective Agency, takes on jobs most would call ridiculous. His trademarks are a large tan overcoat, various tools and tricks hidden in pockets, and his trusty .357 magnum revolver. He receives...
Vita Persevero
Wendy was the first to jump out of the Albatross, followed by the rest of Zero Unit. Earth hadn't changed much, a few permanent towns had grown, and trade between them had become common. Most areas were still abandoned though, due to destruction and a...
Calm Before the Storm

Through Another's Eyes
"Get it together. Piledrivers! To the entrances. Block off tunnels 1 and 3. Gunnars, take positions at the choke points. This will be like killing rats in a maze. Like last week, remember? Ha!" The men ran off, "Vangard! On my right. Scout, my left....
Betrayal
"We've been walking for over an hour. Is that the place?" Dante pointed to a castle close to their position. The head villager nodded, "That's it. Once we get in, we kill the man responsible and they we'll find your treasures." At the entrance,...
The Beast and the Village
"She has returned! Ra'yui has come back to us!" People bowed down as Ratchet walked through the primitive city. Dante looked at her, "Oh... my full name is Ra'yui Pon'chet. I go by Ratchet now, simpler and easier to say." "And the people bowing...
Suspicion
"Get moving! Now!" Dante yelled over the explosions. The rest of Zero Unit fired at the enemies as they fled the building. Dante shot a few more bullets and ran after them. The mission was odd from the start. Storm a major office building to find a...
