A/N: This is a continuation of the last fragment.
Sorry, I wanted to update Archon today, but I ran out of time. *howls in frustration*
I'm on the brink of falling into despair. These back-to-back-to-back shifts are destroying my body and mind.
Now they're starting to affect my chapters, and I am NOT a happy camper.
Sixteen days. Just gotta hang on a little while longer.
I'm probably going to make a Jujutsu Kaisen plot bin soon, if only to contain these ideas. One with Naruto as Gojo's twin, or Nanami's Son, Nobara's best friend, but in reality he's a pure spirit...
SO MANY IDEAS!
With my fifteen year anniversary on this site finally here, I find myself reflecting on the little things in life. What was once a lazy pastime meant for me and a few friends really grew and evolved over time. There are days when I look back on the last fifteen years here and I wonder if anyone will remember me; if I made an impact, despite never making a single cent on any of these stories. Some days were happier than others, and some stories I enjoyed writing WAY too much; to the point where I'd stay up all night working on them.
And of course, there are times when I look to the future ahead and wonder what will become of things when I'm gone.
Of course, I try not to dwell on the latter overmuch lest it poison my mind; I'm still alive and still writing. In an ideal world, I'd like to keep doing so for as long as I can. But old age is catching up to me and these days, the world is filled with so much madness and death. Feels like everyone's lost their minds. Even before that, so many friends and fellow writers I once knew are gone, now. Will I still be here in twenty years? Ten? Five? Its a chilling thought. But for now, I'm still here, still writing.
So here we go. The fate of this story depends on you, the reader. Your feedback determines the fate of this tale, and many others.
As ever, I own no quotes, references, themes, or memes. Not a wit or a one! They're tributes to legends far greater than I.
I'm just a humble author trying to make his way in this wild world, one word at a time.
Time and feedback will determine if this remains a story. Simple as that.
In other words...its up to YOU, the reader. Do let me know~!
Also Nanami reference. May he rest in peace.
"What are you?! Just what the hell are you?"
To them, a hero. To you...a villain.
Now clench your teeth and CRY."

Vector Prime (Part II)
Mercury couldn't block.
He tried, make no mistake, but that damn freak tore right through him. His aura plummeted as a fist hammered his face. A knee slammed into his gut and it dropped further. He lashed out wildly only for his adversary to flick his fingers and the air twisted around him, hurtling him away. He nearly left the ring then and there but something caught him.
It was a hand.
Five firm fingers closed around his hair and yanked him up with a vicious yank.
Cold red eyes the color of blood gazed down at him blankly.
"What are the names and locations of your allies?"
Mercury blinked through bruised eyes. "Ha?"
A fist slammed into his gut at supersonic speeds and sent him skidding across the ring. The crowd howled their approval. They wanted blood. They didn't care whose. Damn Vytal Festival...but it didn't matter. Cinder had said make a scene, and damn but they were making one now!
Another blow sent him reeling.
'Damnit! Stop mocking me! You cheeky little bastard!'
Narutp removed his tie as he walked and wrapped it around his fist. For a moment, he almost seemed to glow.
Something about the casual gesture set Mercury's blood ablaze. He was mocking him! He turned his head, spat blood, and lunged at him with a furious shout.
Naruto -that damn Accelerator!- simply caught him by the face once more and they were back at it again.
"What are the names and locations of your allies?"
Play coy! Cinder would kill him if he welched.
"I don't know what you mean-aaargh?!"
Another punch folded him in half.
"What are. The names and locations. Of your allies?"
"Go to hell. You think you're hot shit? You have no idea what's coming-
A spinning kick cracked his jaw, sending bloody teeth whistling through the air.
"Hurts, doesn't it?" through ringing ears he heard the Monster mocking him. "But not as much as you hurt Pyrrha." a hand caught him by the collar and reeled him into a bruising serious of blows, one for each sentence as his aura plummeed." You broke Ruby's leg." a rounding uppercut snapped Mercury's head back. "Crushed Blake's confidence." Jab. "Don't get me started on Weiss!" Hook. "Yang might never walk again!" Palm thrust. "Did you even care?" Backhand, now. "People like you make me sick! Now answer my questions!
Mercury reeled back, spitting blood. "Screw...you..
Ironwood's son smiled. It was not a nice smile; no, it filled Mercury with dread.
"Did you know vectors can manipulate blood and bio-electricity?" he stalked forward, grin growing with each passing moment. "I'm going to tweak yours a bit until you talk."
He placed an open palm upon Mercury's chest, fingers splayed, and began to laugh.
"Don't go passing out on me now!"
Mercury Black screamed.
A/N: Aaaaaaaaaaand scene.
Once again, this is Naruto with Accelerator's skillset...but not nerfed at all.
Hope you enjoyed this little tease. Soooo? Should this be a story? Once again! This is an AU.
Hope someone, somewhere, enjoyed this. I just don't know anymore these days. Its terribly hard to tell...
So...in the Immortal Words of Atlas...Review...Would You Kindly? Let me know what you think!
No previews this time.
Health isn't the best.
