"He-He's going to die. All because of me our little, superstar Howard is going to die," Reece leaned her hand against the rock mine's soot covered wall, and felt the terrifying vibrations. Every time Howard moved, she could feel his will splintering through the distance between them, as the ground shook. "I-I can't do this. I got to go back," "Move it," Harley said, forcing her companions forward, trying to hide the anger in her voice. "Howard would have to hold back if we went back. Do you want to be the…

A droplet of saliva slithered down and touched against Howard's head before a thousand explosions rippled in the air. An extremely massive creature with ten tails and six wings turned into a blur, arriving in front of Reece with a nefarious glint in its stardust filled amber eyes. Immediately, the shield Reece had erected got banished into shards of glass. Without anything to keep her balance, Reece shot into the wall, coughing out blood as Keelin and Harley stared up frozen like statues of ice. A…

In the West Branch, a small oasis sat next to a large mountain. All around it, dozens of tunnels had been dug by a single woman, floating in a boat that seemed to move itself. Holding out her hand, the brunette caused the Earth to her right to seem to shatter before a large tunnel began to expand outward. From above, it seemed like thousands of pedals of a flower had formed around her, spinning in various strange patterns. A few of the tunnels had staircases that led into the abyss. Holding her arms…

"Wow, that's big. Howard, why is it so large," Harley joked, patting him on the back. "You ready to fire sport?" "Ready," Howard smiled, wiping the sweat off his head. "Where should I aim?" "Hit the biggest one in the center," Reece pointed over Howards' head and grinned. Howard had successfully combined the five disparate energies from the six girls into his own, creating a fire ball that extended like a small sun in the swirling sand storm. Stepping forward, Howard felt his body crack before he…

Howard woke up in the morning with Monica staring outside with a shocked expression. Thousands of strange, towering monsters with long necks rising above the clouds marched forward. Putting on a jean jacket, Monica looked back at Howard and smiled, watching him rise with a smile on her face. "Uhm, Howard, have I ever told you about the Varlen?" Monica grabbed Howard's hands, looking at him as he noticed the large beasts approaching the West Branch. "Those beasts right there are their flock." "They're…

Monica, Una, Harley, and Lera finally saw Howard appear like a long awaited sunset after a horrible day. Howard got into the bus, and found Monica had already scooted over to let him sit next to her for the rest of the ride. Harley, smiling at him, gently pushed him onto the bus before shutting the bus doors with the black lever to her right. "You took forever. Did you leave those girls alone?" Harley yawned and looked down at a map before turning on the ignition. "I thought we'd have time for 3…

"He's trying to defy reality," Evania raised her eyebrows and smiled, "You think he likes women a little too much?" "Maybe it's not such a bad thing." Valrana laughed and picked up a grape juice, smiling while sipping it down her throat. She seemed to be feasting on the memories Howard provided for their dreamscape, drinking the sweet nectar from the metal can with a smile on her face. "He already died 110,331 thousand times. Monica has long ago finished her training." "Well, 20 more tries and he fails,"…

"He's died over a thousand times," Evania shook her head. "He keeps making the same decision over and over again. Look, there goes his head." Boom! Howard's head spun circles in the air, landing against the blood covered grass as pillars of flames shot up into the sky. Smiling at the woman he loved running off to safety, Howard felt a warmth on the inside disappearing before he suddenly reappeared on his feet. For the 1001st time, Howard saw a skeleton's head inches from his face stabbing forward with…

"Uhm, Excuse me," Howard walked into the Shrine, finding a single woman seated cross legged on a blue mat. "Is this really the shrine?" "You're late," The lady smiled, and patted the wooden tiles, causing the ground to distort and Howard to move in her direction. Falling next to her, Howard flailed his arms before finding himself falling towards the floor. Pushing down, Howard reached forward towards the wooden floor only to find himself floating in the air. To his right, the woman smiled, leaning down…

"Howard, the Shrine is a lot like a girl," Monica said while holding his hand, pulling him over to a large dome building. "What I'm trying to say is be careful. Girls are dangerous." "I'm confused. Isn't someone waiting for me in the shrine?" Howard laughed and poked Monica in the face. "You're so cute. What about you is dangerous?" "I'm dangerous when someone tries to take my things," Monica pulled Howard to the entrance as Harley leaned against the bus. She had cooked a microwavable meal she found in…
