    Non-Pokémon The Mainframe Saga (Temporary Hiatus)

    A/N - This will be the last chapter for a while, and I have no idea how long it will be. I'm picking up another project to hopefully see out the current Covid19 outbreak, which all being well will also be posted here. (I don't like not having a current project! It makes me antsy!) Please keep an...

    Non-Pokémon The Mainframe Saga (Temporary Hiatus)

    Chapter Twenty Two Rouge had seen everything. The Judge launching it’s attack. The exploding helicopters. Even Shadow taking that pilot to safety. If it weren’t for her, they wouldn’t have made it. She’d thrown off it’s aim. She’d become the bait. Now it pursued her through the streets of the...

    Non-Pokémon The Mainframe Saga (Temporary Hiatus)

    Chapter Twenty One Infinite muttered to himself as he marched down the street. The evening’s events played over and over in his mind like a stuck record. No where was safe. Shadow had proved that. There was no reason the hedgehog should know where he was hiding, so to just show up in Amy’s...

    Non-Pokémon The Mainframe Saga (Temporary Hiatus)

    Chapter Twenty Pitch black. The streets were pitch black, and empty. Shards of glass littered the floor from the dead lamps above, crunching under heavy boots. ‘Shadow…’ The black hedgehog trailed his fingers along the cold wall, blank eyes fixed on the road ahead. A few cleaning drones...

    Non-Pokémon The Mainframe Saga (Temporary Hiatus)

    Chapter Nineteen Infinite shook water from his fur as he strolled from the bathroom. A much needed shower after that walk around the sewers. It had taken over an hour to get the stink out of his fur, and he still felt like he’d never be clean. Amy’s apartment was quiet and dark, only the...

    Non-Pokémon The Mainframe Saga (Temporary Hiatus)

    Chapter Eighteen The park was eerily silent. Usually buzzing with the shouts and laughter of children, it was now only buzzing with bees as they drifted from plant to plant. Amy often found such things tranquil. Peaceful. But instead it chilled her. The park, like many other parts of the...

    Non-Pokémon The Mainframe Saga (Temporary Hiatus)

    Chapter Seventeen Amy sat outside the coffee shop near the train station, sheltered under the gazebo from the rain. She’d stayed at home with her friends that night, chasing conspiracy theories that all turned out to be fake until the three of them conked out in the living room. Earlier that...

    Non-Pokémon The Mainframe Saga (Temporary Hiatus)

    Chapter Sixteen Rain hammered against a thin metal sheet, a constant static hum like white noise, interrupted every now and then by scrapes and thuds. Scrapes of claws over metal, and the thud of heavy footsteps. Every now and then, two glowing lamps would cut through the darkness. A challenge...

    Non-Pokémon The Mainframe Saga (Temporary Hiatus)

    Chapter Fifteen The sky was rapidly darkening. Heavy black clouds spread across it, bringing with them the threat of rain. The air was heavy and humid, enough so to cause Sonic to stop by a vending machine for a quick drink. The blue hedgehog downed an iced tea with one thirsty gulp after the...

    Non-Pokémon The Mainframe Saga (Temporary Hiatus)

    Chapter Fourteen It wasn’t a matter of simply unleashing the Judge. That would have spelled ‘disaster’ for Mainframe. No, such matters needed preparation. Care. A laying-down of ground rules to avoid unnecessary lives being lost. The Judge program wasn’t new, but it wasn’t one that GUN often...

    Part Two - Judge Chapter Thirteen Twelve-thirty in the morning. The chime from the school’s florescent clock rang it out across the eastern district of the Beatdrop Capital. Silver leant out of the open window outside the school room, the cool night air washing over his quills. His fingers...

    Non-Pokémon The Mainframe Saga (Temporary Hiatus)

    Chapter Twelve The morning news was barely more than a drone in the background while Amy ate her cereal. Not at her bar, as had become the norm, but instead lounging on the sofa. It had been an odd night. She’d barely slept, too busy lying awake listening to Infinite muttering to himself in the...

    Non-Pokémon The Mainframe Saga (Temporary Hiatus)

    Chapter Eleven Infinite had been scouring the Chaos Network most of the day, on and off. It still caused him a headache, and he'd eventually had to cave and ask Amy for some pain killers just so he could keep going. Finally, with a pulsing head, he had some answers about that Shadow, and it was...

    Non-Pokémon The Mainframe Saga (Temporary Hiatus)

    It's inspired by a prison we were invited to for a Church Christmas event one year. I believe the inmates do the gardening, to get them outside, and I liked the idea. It was a stark contrast to the high, daunting fences. So I emulated it here =) (I was in writing mode pretty much the whole time...

    Non-Pokémon The Mainframe Saga (Temporary Hiatus)

    Chapter Ten Rough's ship was parked where he'd left it. Situated between a green caterpillar-shaped ship and an empty space that had previously occupied a massive cargo carrier. A rather rudely parked one that had made getting on and off his own ship nigh impossible. The stench of oil and...

    Ooh! This was a nice surprise to wake up to =D Great idea, thanks! I don't know why I haven't added one already, tbh... I'll get on that when I next update! (And add one at the start of each story, too, when they come!) Oh yes, there are a lot of characters and cameos in this saga. Rough and...

    Chapter Nine Amy yawned as she stepped into the living room, still slightly damp from a shower. It had not helped. After encountering Infinite’s odd tower building, she’d been unable to get back to sleep, and had tossed and turned until her digital alarm clock had threatened her, minute by...

    Non-Pokémon The Mainframe Saga (Temporary Hiatus)

    Chapter Eight It was raining. Heavy, large drops bouncing off the paving flags, and little mucky streams gurgling their way along the gutter as they made their way to the nearest drain. The sky was black and heavy with clouds, blocking out every single star and the pale face of the moon. Yet...

    Christmas Special Winter Warmers One of the upsides to Pulse City was its heated dome at winter. That glass barrier provided more than just a means to stop people falling off the floating city, but when they closed the roof during winter and let that low heat radiate through it… bliss. Mind...

    Chapter Seven Amy had been out like a light as soon as her head hit the pillow. Refreshed and relaxed, she stretched and yawned, pushing herself up from the mattress. Snoring filled the room, loud and rattly, and she looked down at Tangle lying on her back atop her sleeping bag, limbs splayed...
