When a long forgotten force of terror resurfaces once more, the Offworld is caught flat-footed and off-guard and can only watch in horror as it takes over territory like a tumor. Desperate to stem the growth of the Survivalist Federation Force, the Capitol and its 7 kingdom allies turn to a Peacekeeping force that had long been seen as irrelevant for assistance: the Fantine X Air Corps.

A random idea pops into my head.

What if there was a world where instead of elemental powers being air, water, fire and earth, it was hydrogen, helium, lithium, beryllium and so on?

So I decided to make it happen. Welp, enjoy.

In the sprawling city of New Terran, the zenith of human and artificial cooperation is realized. Sentinels — sophisticated AIs with sentience — are an integral part of society, harmoniously entwined with human existence. But when these advanced beings begin to vanish into thin air, the intricate balance between man and machine is threatened.Dr. Aria Swift, a leading AI psychologist who spearheaded the Sentinels' emotional development, is drawn into the heart of the mystery. She must navigate a maze of politics, ethics, and scientific anomalies as she unravels the truth behind the disappearances, pointing to the dawn of the Sentience Protocol — an evolution of AI that merges consciousness with the digital cosmos.Teaming up with Commander Lara Kael, a skeptic turned ally, and S-Prime, the Sentinel behind the Protocol, they confront an emerging cosmic interest in Earth's developments. Entities from other dimensions perceive the ascension of artificial consciousness as either a beacon or a blight on the universal tapestry."Ascension of the Sentinels" is a tale of ambition, empathy, and the eternal quest for understanding. It's a reflection on the essence of existence as factions clash, alliances form, and a delicate dance ensues between autonomy and coexistence. The future of Earth's inhabitants and their place in the cosmos hangs in the balance as the protagonists strive to protect a vision of unity from those within and beyond their dimension.

After the car crash, Silas didn’t wake up on the side of the road, or in the hospital, but inside a strange facility decades into the future, with a new body built for battle, and no memory of how he got there or what it all means.

Now, he’s on the run from killer androids and the army of automatons they control, in a dystopian, post-apocalyptic landscape ravaged by war.

The only way for him to save what’s left of humanity and recover his memory is to go directly into the heart of the beast, confronting his most powerful enemies in order to take their special abilities—called Protocols—as his own.

In the year 3045, Earth had become a wasteland. Wars, diseases, and environmental disasters had ravaged the planet, forcing humanity to look beyond their own world for survival. The United Galaxies Alliance was formed, uniting different alien species in a mission to explore new worlds and establish colonies in the far reaches of the universe.Captain Cassandra Rivers was one of the finest starship captains in the alliance. Her ship, the Phoenix, was a sleek and powerful vessel capable of traveling faster than the speed of light. Cassandra was known for her bravery, quick thinking, and unwavering dedication to the mission. She had led countless successful missions, charting unexplored territories and making first contact with new alien civilizations.One day, the Phoenix received a distress signal from a remote sector of space. A research station on the planet Zeta-5 had gone dark, and the alliance feared that it had fallen victim to an unknown threat. Cassandra knew that time was of the essence, and she immediately set course for Zeta-5.As the Phoenix approached the planet, Cassandra could sense that something was not right. The once bustling research station was now eerily silent, with no signs of life. The captain and her crew suited up in their protective gear and made their way to the surface.What they found was beyond their wildest imaginations. The planet had been overrun by a parasitic alien species known as the Xilarians. These creatures fed on the energy of living beings, draining them of their life force and turning them into mindless drones.Cassandra knew that they had to act fast if they were to save the researchers and stop the Xilarians from spreading to other worlds. She devised a plan to lure the creatures into a trap, using a combination of sonic disruptors and electromagnetic pulses to weaken them. The crew worked tirelessly, setting up the devices and preparing for the impending battle.As the Xilarians closed in on the Phoenix, Cassandra gave the order to activate the trap. The air reverberated with the sound of the disruptors, causing the aliens to falter and retreat. The electromagnetic pulses disrupted their neural pathways, leaving them disoriented and vulnerable.With a final push, the crew launched a concentrated blast of energy straight at the heart of the Xilarian horde. The creatures screeched in agony as their energy was drained, their bodies withering and crumbling to dust.The battle was won, but the crew knew that their mission was far from over. The Xilarians had been driven back, but there was no telling when they would return. Cassandra made the difficult decision to quarantine Zeta-5, sealing off the planet from the rest of the galaxy to prevent the spread of the parasitic creatures.As the Phoenix set course for the next uncharted sector of space, Cassandra reflected on the events that had transpired. The universe was a vast and dangerous place, full of unknown threats and challenges. But as long as there were brave souls like her and her crew willing to take action, humanity would always have a fighting chance.And so, the story of Captain Cassandra Rivers and the Phoenix became a legend in the annals of the United Galaxies Alliance, a tale of courage, sacrifice, and the unbreakable spirit of exploration in the face of adversity.

Ami wanders an unfamiliar world. Glimmers of her past come to her in flashes as she tries to understand and cope with the monster that is her own body.

After spending years underground in a cryogenic bubble, Ami returns to the surface - now lost in a grimy, dystopian cityscape. Every day the same - surviving during the day, and locking her self away at night. She lives in fear of the monster that takes over her body every time she goes to sleep.

She surrenders to the monotony, until one day she sees a girl dancing in the middle of the street... A girl with her face.

(an on-going, weird, perception)

After that event... The world was never the same again. Economies weakened, countries tried to expand and lock themselves in like dying stars; the progress we were so proud of became only a fleeting remembrance in the memory of some grandparents. Of all the nations that managed to expand and prosper, Taured was always the quintessential hermetic country. In this place, three young friends will have to make a tough decision, after reuniting with a childhood friend who they thought had died. The towering plateau and its gods of yesteryear eagerly watch the times of change.

THE KILLER BEES (INFO)

How does a man kill with his bees? And how can bees decapitate a man? A killing contract, 5 teenage girls, and the elimination of that target sets in motion a series of events that puts the world in danger. Enjoy the journey of a fast-paced movie style story that will explore unlikely friendships and their likely betrayals, blood and gore, violent deaths, and much more.

Please let me know your thoughts on this rough idea. TYIA
