4 X Ship Novels & Stories

The large lonely mansion which oozed nothing but affluence did not only house these money making halls but also had rooms above which caged workers who made this money and the bosses who ruled over them. The workers were members of X-habit, a crime conglomerate whose activities were no lesser than running guns, doing drugs and the like. The Big Four: Steven Chase, Baron Sage, Iphan Carter and Kane Richmond bossed over the conglomerate, with Steven as the head, more of a Godfather.

The inside of the carriage was spacious enough to accommodate four merfolk comfortably. Preparations were underway, and anticipation hung in the air. They stood on the cusp of an extraordinary journey, their hearts filled with excitement and determination. The carriage, with its hydrodynamic design, illuminated magenta waylights, and protective water shield, symbolized their readiness to traverse the vast ocean and face the challenges that lay ahead.

But for most ability users, 100 units was already a quantity that could not be ignored. He continued forward. As he walked, a hint of surprise appeared in his expression. He spotted a ship. Unfortunately, it wasn't a cargo ship, nor an energy transport vessel—it was a passenger liner. A very large one, even bigger than the cruise ship he was currently living on. He moved closer, and more of the vessel came into his spatial perception. The ship was empty. Such a massive ship… and not a single living person onboard? Then again, it made sense. More than four months had passed since the apocalypse. Food would have long run out, and without energy, freezing to death was inevitable.

Jason opened his mouth to respond, but before he could speak, Mia’s voice cut through gently but firm. “There’s a ship,” she said, looking between the Elders and Jason. “Fourteen day cruise. It departs from Adelaide, loops through New Zealand, then the top of Australia, and ends in Bali before returning. You’d be off pack lands, out of reach of duty, and… maybe closer to fate.” Nathan crossed his arms, glancing at Jason. "Wouldn’t kill us to relax. Just once." Jason sighed, rubbing the back of his neck. “I’ll think about it.”

Apparently, time to checkmate our enemies. Xx___xX

Planet FXP-04, Copernicus System, Federal Outer Systems A whole fleet of ships flashed in at the beacon high above Federal eXperimental Planet number four. Two of them were heavy cargo cruisers, and their company’s logo was painted in bright colors along the side. All around them was their hired protection, frigates and fighters and corvettes and mecha. The convoy’s captain - the one inside the lead cargo cruiser - hailed the Naval ships that sat a thousand meters above them. Up there was a cruiser with a three-destroyer escort. Two wings of fighters also flew around and patrolled.

The stealth transport ship was completely different now. Leo had spent eighteen hours straight working on the engines. Thanks to the secret files on the data drive, the ship’s hull was now coated in a special silver-polymer material. It didn't just hide them from radar anymore; it absorbed the physical shock of heavy weather.

"I've been waiting four years to hook a big fish." ​The first harpoon whistled through the air, trailing a thick, braided copper cable.

She could see he had changed now and was wearing a camouflage uniform with another man beside him and they were both carrying massive guns. She swallowed softly, thinking the situation they were in just got real. She couldn’t see Hallec and guessed he must be the one steering the boat. “Alright everyone, listen up!” Xavier began, his deep voice carried through the grounds.
