Well, for my next story, I'm just going to be making a series of oneshots based around my characters while I map out Project Scipio 2, and they'll all be in one story rather than just making a whole bunch of separate stories. Despite the title, I probably won't be doing 100 stories. I might do more, I might do less, but I'm leaning towards more. These stories, released in no particular chronological order, will take place before PS, after PS, or will just serve as deleted scenes for PS. The first three/four chapters will serve as an interquel between PS and it's sequel and the story after those will serve as the prologue for a short story that will be incorporated in this one starring my #1 fan, effin emo. After that, I'll do anything from 200 word drabbles to full-length stories. No lemons though, I'm not good at that kind of stuff. Besides, I want to keep a T rating. I'm also open to requests as well.

What else... Oh. Since my comic maker disappeared off the face of the Earth, I'm now asking to see if people would wish to do artwork/scenes for Project Scipio. If you're interested, PM me.

Now, without further ado, my first of many oneshots.

William was sitting in his office at Dunbar Publishers sorting through his papers when he heard his phone ring.

"Yes?" William said putting it on speakerphone.

"Dunbar, it's me!" A voice on the other end said.

"Oh, Mr. Poliakoff." William said. Mr. Poliakoff was the chairman of the board at Dunbar Publishers and therefore William's superior. "Can I help you?"

"You're wanted in the boardroom, ASAP. Got it?" He said.

"Yessir." William said.

He then went up one floor to the boardroom. There he found a group of people, the board of directors, seated at the table with Mr. Poliakoff at the head. Standing next to him were William Jr. and Ulrich.

"What are you two doing here?" William asked. "Can't you see I'm..."

"What is this?" Mr. Poliakoff asked angrily as he passed down a pile of papers across the table to William. William read them and saw that it was the original manuscript for Lyoko: A World Without Danger written by Ulrich Stern.

"But that's impossible..." William said. "How did you...?"

"William Jr. gave this to us just now." Mr. Poliakoff said. William then turned to his son.

"You?"

"I'm sorry, Dad." William Jr. said. "It's what Mom wants."

"I don't care." William said angrily. "You never take sides against the family!"

"Yumi is my family, that makes Ulrich my family." William Jr. said angrily. "Therefore I'm not taking sides against the family, I'm just taking sides against you."

"You know that plagiarism is not an issue that's taken lightly." Mr. Poliakoff. "You are hereby stripped of your title as CEO effective now and the position will go to Ulrich Stern. Whether or not charges will be pressed is up to him."

William just left as Ulrich stood there.

"Wait a minute." Ulrich said. "My first act is to rehire William as CEO and for me to resign my post.

"What?" William and Mr. Poliakoff said.

"But why?" William asked.

"You helped save our lives, it's the least I can do."

"What are you talking about?" Mr. Poliakoff asked.

"Long story." Both Ulrich and William said.

"Well, I still feel I should do something." William Jr. said.

"What can you do?" William asked.

"When Russell died, he left me his shares of the company. That leaves me with 52% of the shares." William Jr. said. "And as majority shareholder, I hereby elect Ulrich Stern as a member of the board of directors."

"Willy, the board has enough members alrea..." William said.

"Resignation letter's on my desk." One board member said as he walked out the door.

"Mr. Pichon was always such a pushover." William sighed.

"Welcome to the board Mr. Stern." Mr. Poliakoff said shaking his hand.

"Is that all you want?" William said.

"Not yet." Ulrich said. "There's still the matter of the money you owe me for the years of cheating me."

"How much do you want?" William asked pulling out his checkbook. Ulrich just smiled as he said the amount...

"Five hundred million euros?" Yumi said loudly as she read the check. "I can't believe it!"

"What's going on?" Calvin asked as the kids headed downstairs.

"Your dad got a cash settlement from William because of his book."

"How much?" Ami asked.

"Five hundered." Ulrich said.

"Thousand?" Calvin asked.

"No." Ulrich said. "Million."

"Are you fucking serious!" Rumiko shouted.

"Hey! Watch with the language!" Ulrich said.

"Sorry."Rumiko said. "But still. Does this mean I'm going to college?"

"Yes." Ulrich said. "If you push your grades up a bit more."

"Fair enough."

"Well, what are you going to do with the rest?"

"I'm thinking about giving some of it to your grandparents and Uncle Hiroki." Ulrich said.

"Why think about it?" Ami asked. "They need the money more than us."

"You're right, I'll get to it." Ulrcih said.

"Thanks Ulrich." Yumi said.

"Hey, I still owe them for the 'lotto ticket' thing."

"That money was obtained through unethical means and you know it." Yumi said

"Don't remind me." Ulrich said. "Now let's go. There's an abandoned building with our name on it."

With that they headed out the door and rented out an old building that served as the location for their new Pencak Silat dojo. The dojo was run by both Ulrich and Yumi while Rumiko and Calvin served as instructors.

Meanwhile word had gotten out about William's wrongdoings. After so much bad publicity, William went as far as to change the name of the company to Zanbato Publishers so that his name wouldn't be associated with a book that wasn't his. He also recalled all the unsold versions of his book and replaced them with Ulrich's version (and properly credited him as well). Ulrich still got money for his book, however he had more money then he needed, so he went into philanthropy and donated all his proceeds to charity.

Well, one down, 99+ to go. I know it was kind of short, but it's a one shot; it's supposed to be short. I hope to update as often as I did with Project Scipio, so keep an eye out and make sure to favorite this if you were fans of my previous story.
