Quote from: exceeptPerry felt the ground rumble underneath him, and saw that the color was draining out of the grass and nearby buildings. The captain was running back to him, holding the amulet in his massive hand. Perry heard the whine of jet engines, and saw the Narjumper rise out from behind the barn, its shark nose rotating slowly to bring the cargo bay door around. The captain ran towards Perry and picked him up.
   â€œMr. Brenneke, we have to go. Now.” Before Perry could protest, the captain had already leapt into the Narjumper’s cargo bay. Perry turned around and saw Chuck standing out in the middle of the field, the color drained from the grass. The ground began to split apart.
   â€œWhat’s going on? Where did all the color go? What’s happening? I’m scared!” The kid began to break down as his world literally fell apart. Perry swallowed. He had already cost them the mission, he sure as hell wasn’t going to let someone else drift away.
   â€œChuck!” he yelled. The kid snapped his head up and looked at the shuttle, his eyes getting wider. “Chuck, get over here, now!” Perry kept shouting.
   Chuck had never seen a shuttle before. Of course, he also never had his world disintegrate  before his eyes, so naturally he was to shocked to move. Perry swore.
   â€œWe have to pick him up.” He said.
   â€œMr. Brenneke, we don’t have any time left.” The Captain said, already buckled in.
   â€œI botched the mission! I know that! And I sure as hell don’t want HIM,” he jabbed his finger at Chuck, “to pay for my mistakes! Captain, please!”
   The captain frowned, then turned his head to the cockpit. “Mr. Dante, full power aft.”
   The shuttle rocked as it skidded backwards towards Chuck. Perry reached down and hauled the kid up into the cargo bay, and strapped him into a seat next to the unconscious Lyria. Chuck was so shocked he barely gave one word of protest.  Perry slammed himself into a seat and buckled his belt. “We’re secure!” he yelled.
   â€œMr. Dante! Get us out of here!” The captain said loudly towards the cockpit.
   The story around them was falling apart at the seams. Buildings collapsed, the grand castle crumbled to dust, and the ground started cracking in places. The color had fully drained from the surroundings, leaving everything in black, white, and shades of grey. The Narjumper remained intact, and flared its engines as it fled the ruined narration. As the shuttle passed the horizon, they felt a great rumbling as the small, self-contained universe literally collapsed upon itself and fizzled out of existence.
   The captain looked out the window where the story used to be and sighed. “Mr. Piper. Prepare for our arrival, and ready the infirmary.”
   â€œIs everyone all right, Skipper?” Cubby asked, his voice quiet.
   â€œNot anymore.” The captain said. Perry closed his eyes and buried his face in his hands as the shuttle docked with the Lothigra. He had a sinking feeling that things were going to get a whole lot worse.

Maybe one of the characters has a chilling secret. Perhaps one of them was once a Mary Sue themselves, and all his teammates have to rethink what they believe about him?

The space marine captain just got overtaken by the Max influence (after touching a plot-warping amulet during a previous encounter), and is now rampaging on the ship. Two characters encounter him in engineering, and he already whacked one person, and their strongest gunner is protecting the bridge since her weapon is the only one that won't shoot through the computer consoles. one guy is trying to help their fallen comrade, while the other battles it out with the space marine and just got slammed into the wall.

Now the thing is, how do you describe the takedown of a 7 foot tall Space marine using a character's latent powers without it seeming too deus-ex-machina-ish?

6000 words or so.

Also good luck wind-up, nice to see at least a few of us are on the track to make it.

As for myself, I'm not going to blame being in school or being in athletics for my failure to keep up, I don't roll that way anymore. I'm just gonna admit I'm lazy and that I don't write as much as I used to though I can see huge improvements in my writing over the past two years or so. Quality over quantity I suppose. This book will get finished at some point, I've put a lot of time into thinking up the plot and I'm not backing down.

Awesome! Only 48,690 words to go!

Over the span of 9 days, that's 5,410 words per day! Not too bad!
