Lenya’s day had been progressing phenomenally well. She had defeated Trickster 3-1 in the Round of Sixteen and had therefore proceeded onto the next round of eliminations. She had, metaphorically speaking, been floating on a cloud as she made her way back to her hotel. She couldn’t wait to celebrate the victory with Molly and …

Chapter 9 Displacement Titan: Pursuit by JohnnyScribe
“Shaka! I overslept!” Charlotte’s eyes snapped open at the exclamation, and she sat up on her bed of folded cloth to see Lenya frantically rushing about the room and pulling together her gear for Dibilique’s match against The Trickster later that day. After her defeat of the Iron Maiden, Dibilique had managed to ride the …
Chapter 8: Distractions Titan: Pursuit by JohnnyScribe
Charlotte watched the big holographic screen in front of her with mild interest. This “tol-bot” thing that Lenya was playing wasn’t exactly like watching a normal sporting competition. It was interesting, but there were many parts that seemed to drag on for ages, and frankly Charlotte had a hard time figuring out what was going …
Chapter 7: First Round, First Blood Titan: Pursuit by Johnny Scribe
Lenya swallowed nervously as she stared at her own reflection in the mirror. It was the first day of the tournament and today Lenya, guised as Dibilique would face her first opponent. She carefully ran her gloved hands across the smooth leather of her costume. She made minor adjustments to the fit and tugged the …
Chapter 6: Reunion Titan: Pursuit by JohnnyScribe
“Molly? Are you okay?” A voice whispered. It sounded faint and far-off. “Can you hear me?” The voice seemed muffled, and for a moment Molly couldn’t quite understand the words that were being spoken. With a herculean effort, she managed to pry her own eyes open. Above her a face slowly came into focus. Long …
Chapter 5: Vorsha Titan: Pursuit by Johnny Scribe
Lenya braced herself for the bump as Drixis’ ship settled onto the black top surface of the Vorsha starport. After a moment, the subtle hum of the engine was replaced with a staccato ticking noise that gradually lengthened until it, too, fell silent. Drixis swiveled in her pilot’s chair until the green-haired woman was staring …
Chapter 4: The Race Begins Titan: Pursuit by Johnny Scribe
Vanser took a sip from his mug of kaf, letting the warm liquid slide down his throat. He hoped the stimulating effects of the drink would offset the terrible night’s sleep he’d gotten. He and Molly had arrived on Azatlia several hours earlier, after which Vanser had arranged for lodging in a hotel for use …
Chapter Three: A Little Mayhem Titan: Pursuit by Johnny Scribe
“So what are we doing on this Azatlia planet, anyway?” Charlotte asked from her place in the breast pocket of Lenya’s leather jacket. She watched in fascination as dozens of building-sized people strolled past, completely oblivious to her existence. Being faced with her own insignificance caused Charlotte’s knees to go weak and she leaned back …
Chapter 2: Welcome to the Empire Titan: Pursuit by JohnnyScribe
The first thing she noticed was the metallic smell in the air. It was if someone was turning her senses on one at a time by flipping switches in her brain. First her sense of smell, and that odd taste in the air, the sound of a low hum, like that of an engine and …
Chapter 1: Turning Over a New Leaf Titan: Pursuit by JohnnyScribe
“Attention! This is the Captain. We will be docking with Titan Station within the next few hours, all passengers and crew, please prepare for disembarkation procedures.” A young woman sitting in her seat in her mid-level cabin looked up at the sound of the announcement. When it became obvious what was going on, she turned …
