Jordan: Hey guys, guess what!

Mitch: What?

YATTAAAAAA! WE'RE BAAAAACK!

All of us: YATTAAAAA!

Anyway, we're all back because of summer break. Nothing much to say here, so we'll just get on with the chapter.


Disclaimer: For the last time, we do NOT own Fire Emblem, or any of the songs or references we make here.


"I still can't believe you bought that guitar, Danny," says Jordan, shaking his head. "I mean, what are you gonna do, bash the hell out of people in battle?" Since we last left off in Ylisstol—after, you know, Sumia kissed me—we had plotted a course toward Regna Ferox to request aid in fighting against Plegia, the country where those barbarians were from.

Oh, and I got a guitar and trained Kaorimaru a bunch more—we've got a pretty good combo going; hell, I got a bit more physically fit and we're almost able to pull off something similar to Kiba's signature Fang Over Fang technique—although when Jordan first saw it, he mocked me and yelled out in a voice similar to the Earl of Lemongrab (you know, from Adventure Time), "UNACCEPTABLE!"

I smirk at Jordan and reply cheekily, "Says the asshat who got someone to replicate the 'I'm Eggscellent' hat from Regular Show." It's true—about three days after we came to Ylisstol, Jordan went out with Lissa and got a replica of the "I'm Eggscelent" trucker cap—the one that Rigby gets in that one episode of the Regular Show.

Currently we're riding toward Regna Ferox in a big caravan; me, CJ and Jordan are out front with Chrom, Sully, Lissa, Stahl and Vaike (the two of whom me and the guys have started to become fairly good friends with), and Sumia, who won't even look me in the eyes. The carts that carry supplies march in the middle, guarded on both flanks by a group of Cavaliers with lances; and in the back are Virion, a few more Cavaliers, some spearmen, and a couple of archers, as well as a mage by the name of Miriel; I haven't met her personally, but Chrom told me that she's rather "odd."

"Well, there's something we could do at the campfires every night," I suggest.

"Don't even…" Jordan warns; CJ, who is riding beside me on a grey, long-eared donkey which he named Danger Zone (A/N: If you get this reference, I will love you for all time) is just laughing. Kaorimaru, who doesn't even get it, is doing a puppy laugh.

"We can gather 'round the campfire and sing our campfire song…"

"Stop it…"

"Our c-a-m-p-f-i-r-e s-o-n-g song, and if you don't think that we can sing it faster than you're wrong…"

"I'm gonna kick your ass."

"But it'll help if you just sing along~" I sing, and CJ then chimes in with, "Bum, bum, buuuuum…"

CJ and I begin together, "C-A-M-P-F-I-R-E S-O-N-G SONG~ C-A-M-P…"

"Milord Chrom!" calls Frederick's voice from ahead of us. He's bounding toward us on Zuko at a good rate of speed—if he had flashing lights on him, me and the guys probably would have taken off into the woods—and he's got a grave look on his face. "Those creatures—the Risen—have been spotted up ahead."

"This far up the Northroad?" questions Chrom, "Damn, no place is safe then. What's the probability of encountering them?"

Frederick looks back over his shoulder, then whips his head back toward us. "Pardon the language that Danny taught me," he says, shooting me a look (that I can't quite discern), "but them undead mothers are on a fuckin' warpath."

CJ, Jordan and I share a look between the three of us, then bury our faces in the manes of our steeds and start laughing; my own horse, a stallion with a light tan coat, named Mike Wazowski, whinnies happily at what he assumes is a sign of affection. Jordan's horse, a brownish coated mare with an almost red mane, named Growlithe (yes, he named his horse Growlithe), rears back for a second but sets down.

Sully and Vaike are straight-up laughing, and Stahl is shaking his head and trembling, with a smile on his face. Chrom is probably laughing on the inside, but he looks back at all of us with a pale face; "Alright everyone, we've got some Risen headed this way," he yells out, "so get ready to fight!"

The guys and I share a grin, Vaike and Stahl included. "Ready Kaorimaru?" I say to the little dog who happily hides in the collar of my shirt. He barks loudly and lets his tongue droop, so I pull a bottle of water from Mike's saddlebag and hold it up to the pup's mouth, and he laps it up happily.

"I'm gonna shove my axe up their—" Vaike begins, moving his hands to his back, where he usually keeps his axe. "Huh? Where the hell is my axe?!" Stahl and I laugh at this, the former replying, "Vaike, as responsible you are for it, you'd think you'd have glued your axe to your hand."

"Meh, shut up Stahl." says Vaike irritably, crossing his arms and frowning; it actually looks somewhat comedic as his horse causes him to bob up and down.

"RISEN STRAIGHT AHEAD!" calls Sully from the front; she turns her head toward us and shakes her curly red hair; "Come on, guys! Let's kill some stuff!"

"FOR YLISSE!" Stahl yells, spurring his horse into action and charging off after Sully.

"Hell yeah! The Teach is gonna show them what's up!" yells Vaike, preparing to get his horse going.

"Vaike! You don't have your axe, damn it!" CJ says with a grin as the three of us charge past him.

"We'll bring you a souvenir!" I add mockingly; the three of us, ever since we came to this place and got a bit of training in, have decided that we enjoy battle to a certain degree—at least to the point where we're not nervous about it anymore.

As our horses (or in CJ's case, donkey) gallop (trot) through the dense forest, following the same path Stahl, Sully, Chrom and Frederick had charged down, we glance at each other. "You guys ready?" Jordan asks, moving his hand around in his jeans pocket, probably feeling for his Gameboy. I move one hand to stroke Kaorimaru's head softly and nod, while CJ simply grins. "We've got each other's backs, right?"

"Jordan, I helped you beat the crap out of an entire soccer team, then peed on their leader," I say, "do I really need to answer that."

"Heh, that was a good time," Jordan replies.

CJ just looks at Jordan like he's an idiot—the seven of us, (despite Adam, Mitch, Jerome and Taylor not being here) have had eachothers' backs for as long as we'd been friends. He spurs Danger Zone to move faster, and the donkey surprisingly complies, easily beating Mike and Growlithe. I give Mike a soft kick to the sides and he goes into action.

Then the densely-packed forest gives way to an open clearing, with a river running right through the field with a bridge spanning across it. Chrom, Sully, Stahl, Frederick and Lissa are already there; CJ and I gallop over to their spot, right behind a big rock, providing decent cover. "Where's Sumia?" is the first thing out of my mouth.

"She's fine. She's leading a few scouts through an alternate path, to see if it's any clearer." Chrom explains.

I nod, sighing a little; I was somewhat worried that she might've charged onto a Risen's lance—wait, why the hell was I worried? When have I ever cared about any girl's safety besides my sister's? …I mean, for damn's sake, I only think about two things—music and womanizing! That's kind of my thing, dammit! Get out of my head, you damned thoughts!

"How many are there?" CJ asks, peeking out from behind the rock.

"About fifty. We shouldn't have much trouble," says Chrom.

"Still, we can't be too careful." Jordan adds sagely. The three of us grin at each other.

"Gentlemen, I think it's time that we give these creatures a taste of the Ylissean branch of The Shield." I say, putting an arm around my friends' shoulders.

"The Shield?" Lissa asks, giving a questioning look at Jordan.

He replies, "The Shield, in our world, are a team of professional wrestlers. They're our favourites."

"Oh."

"YATTAAAAAA!" the three of us cry in unison, jumping out from behind the rock. I look around and see roughly fifty Risen, each with ashy skin and spewing purple smoke, all with weapons of some sort; they lumber around like brainless zombies… or Titans.

"Do you guys think that Taylor would be trying to go all SnK on this right now?" Jordan asks with a slight smirk. The trio shares a laugh, then we scan around a little more; I point at one of the zombies who is off away from a group, completely solitary.

"THE HOUNDS OF JUSTICE!" we yell, surging toward it. Kaorimaru braces himself in my shirt; I lunge at it feet-first, wrapping my legs around its arm and twisting to the point where it drops its axe; Jordan runs to a position behind it and CJ lifts it onto Jordan's shoulders.

"HELL YEAH! TRIPLE POWERBOMB!" Jordan slams the Risen down back-first, then CJ pulls a dagger from his sheath and drives it into the creature's neck, reducing it into ash. I hear a few yells and see that Stahl and Sully have each taken one down; Chrom, who is guarding Lissa, has struck two more down, and Frederick is ushering some more soldiers onto the battlefield.

Virion finally shows his nobleman face, sniping some of the monsters from behind the same rock; I wouldn't have noticed him if not for the sun on his blue hair.

"Hmm. All these wrestling moves are less effective than I thought."

"Yeah…"

"At least killing-wise."

"Well…" I say quietly. "How about The Hounds of Justice just unleash hell?"

"Sounds good, bro," Jordan agrees; CJ nods.

"Are you ready, Kaorimaru?" I ask, causing the little white dog to bark happily. He crawls out of my shirt and up onto my head. "YAHOO! Let's do this then!" I yell out, rushing toward a nearby Risen. "All-fours technique!" I call out, dropping into a stance on my hands and feet; Kaorimaru mimicks the stance on my back.

The ashy creature lumbers toward me holding a big ass axe; I smirk a little and adjust my long tan coat, allowing a few hidden daggers to drop down around my hands—oh yeah! When Jordan went and got his "I'm Eggscellent" cap, I had him get a coat tailored for me with several hidden pockets for blades and such, as well as a few inner storage pouches for simply storing things. Kaorimaru barks loudly, and I allow a feral grin. "GATSUUGA!" (Fang Passing Fang/Fang Over Fang) I yell out, my partner and I leaping into the air at the same time; Kaorimaru does a twist and urinates in the Risen's face, I think blinding him, while I outstretch my hands straight at its chest and spin at a high velocity—thank you Freddie and your training!

My knives cut through the Risen like butter, causing him to collapse into ash. "Heh, that was kinda fun!" I say, skidding right on my bottom; it burns a tiny bit, but Kaorimaru lands on my chest and knocks me down on my back and licks my face. I laugh a little and rub the pup's head; "I love you too buddy. Come on, let's go kick some more ass."

I look up a bit. "Holy shit…"

…The others frickin' killed them all already!


Theme Song – Sign by FLOW

(I realize the screaming pain, hearing loud in my brain, but I'm going straight ahead with the scar…) We see Danny and his band up onstage as they were in the first prologue, playing their instruments. One by one, starting with CJ, they begin to clutch their heads and fall, finally stopping at Danny, who, before going unconscious, looks up and sees Validar sneering at him. Then Danny wakes up with the strange mark on his hand.

(Instrumentals, "Can you hear me" repeats in the background) Beginning with Jordan and Danny, they begin to wake up in their areas—Jordan and Danny in Ylisse, Mitch and Jerome in Regna Ferox, Taylor in Plegia, Adam in Valm, and CJ outside of Ylisstol, near the Shepherd's barracks. They look around and call out for each other, but, except in Taylor's case, get mostly no response—Taylor gets the brigands and their wardogs chasing after him, to which he runs away in a comedic way.

(Wasurete shimaeba iiyo, kanjinakunacchaeba ii, surimuita kokoro no futa shitanda) We see the group beginning to show up on separate slides like in a slide show, beginning with Danny; each "slide" is a different colour; Danny's is blue, CJ's is orange, Jordan's is purple, Mitch's is red, Jerome's is green, and Adam's is gold. They each carry special weapons: Danny has his bronze short sword, and he presses a button on it, transforming it into a six foot long battle-staff with blades coming out of each end; CJ has a golden tome and is shooting thunderbolts out at us; Jordan has his Gameboy, and when he powers it up, a Pikachu jumps out of the screen as he shows it to the audience, and gives off its signature "Pika!"; Mitch has a silvery-coloured bow and shoots several arrows simultaneously. Jerome has his little axe, which he throws into the air and it becomes a double-sided battle axe; finally, Adam has a seven foot "Killer Lance" with a golden blade—his "Butter Lance" as he will refer to it. Finally, they come together in panels—much like in the Bakugan intro—and the screen shatters to read "Fire Emblem: Kyodai no Kizuna" in bright gold letters, standing out against a black background.

(Kizutsuitatte heiki dayo mou itami wa nai kare ne, sono ashi wo hikizuri nagara mo) The group is placed in the middle of a large band of Risen, who immediately charge the boys. There's a large flash and a lightning bolt, and we hear "PIKA!" as the Risen that are closest to the group quickly disintegrate. Another large flash, and then most of the Shepherds, particularly Chrom, Lissa, Frederick, Stahl, Sumia, Vaike, and Kellam, appear standing around the guys as they begin to help them push back the Risen. Another flash, and then everyone except for Danny is gone, and Validar suddenly appears in front of Danny. Danny raises his battle-staff, while Validar raises a black tome.

(Miushinatta, jibun jishin ga, oto wo tatete kuzureteitta, kizukeba, kaze no oto dake ga) Danny uses his battle-staff to conjure lightning bolts, which he hurls at Validar, who dodges each bolt. Validar uses his tome to summon several Risen who surge toward Danny, but get cut up in the attempt. Validar conjures a pretty much lightsaber of dark energy and runs at Danny; Danny also runs at Validar and they begin to strike at each other with their weapons. A large flash occurs and the scene shatters.

(Tsutaeni kitayo, kizuato tadotte, sekai ni oshitsubusarete simau mae ni) The scene reassembles and we see the boys as just their group standing in a circle. Then as the song goes on we see the Shepherds assembling around them as they all raise their hands and give out an audible cry of "Shori!"

(Oboeteru kana? Namida no sora wo, ano itami ga kimi no kotow o mamottekureta) Then we see the Shepherds in the midst of battle, fighting the Valmese fleet; we see Danny is the last person on the boat aimed toward the general's boat, and as he throws down a fireball, at the last minute Cordelia swoops in and pulls him off the ship as it bursts into flames and crashes into the general's flagship. They share a smile as the scene changes to Taylor and Cherche riding on wyverns as they drop stones on the Plegian castle, and within seconds the walls begin to explode, giving an entrance for Chrom and Danny. Then we zoom in to see Jordan wounded in the courtyard while Lissa works on healing him; after a few seconds she leans down and begins to press her lips to his, but before that happens the scene quickly switches to Mitch riding behind Sully on a horse, as she spears Risen and Mitch shoots Plegian dark mages. Then CJ is seen, protecting Emmeryn from an onslaught of Brigands with his lightning-shooting tome. Lastly we see Adam, running alongside a dragon, plowing into a horde of Plegian knights with his "Butter Lance" and the dragon spews flames, and after the knights are burnt to cinders or slain by the lance, the dragon turns into Tiki, and Adam sets down his lance and stands beside her, putting his arm around her; she smiles and moves in to kiss him.

(Sono itami ga itsumo kimi wo mamotterunda) We see Chrom and Danny confronting Grima in the final fight, and as Danny and Grima battle, the scene begins to darken and all of Danny's friends are seen gathering around him and before he can strike the final blow, Chrom sweeps in with his Falchion and kills Grima.

(Instrumental, "Can you hear me") As Grima falls and is sealed away, we see parties happening throughout Ylisse and Ferox, and we stop in Ylisstol as we see a rather large procession going through the streets, with all the citizens cheering as the Shepherds walk through the main street and up to the palace.

(So am I…) Chrom turns and raises his right hand to the people, balled up in a fist as he declares, "Shori!" We then zoom out to a sunset, overlooking a cliff; we see two people sitting on the bluff, staring at the sunset, and we zoom in to find that it is in fact Danny and Cordelia. Before the screen fades to black, their lips meet.


"Damn it you assholes!" I yell, running over and tackling CJ. "You guys were supposed to save some for me!" I add, putting my struggling best friend into a headlock.

"Well, if you hadn't played around with your dog so much after that kill, maybe you would've gotten more." Jordan says with a smirk as Vaike pries CJ out of my grasp.

"C'mon now Danny! Save that kind of roughhousing for the Teach!" Vaike says with a wild grin.

"Did you ever get your axe back?" I ask.

He grumbles something, but eventually holds his axe back up. "Miriel brought it."

"And she insulted him." CJ adds.

"Shut it CJ."

The four of us share a laugh as Stahl trots over on his horse, with a lead for each of our horses (and donkey). "Thanks Stahl," I say, climbing up onto Mike, who whinnies happily; Kaorimaru climbs back up into my shirt. CJ mounts Danger Zone and Jordan happily planting himself atop Growlithe. Vaike also gets on his horse.

"Alright guys, no time to waste!" calls Chrom as he and the others begin to get back into formation. "We need to get back on track to Ferox if we're to reach it within a week!"

"Umm… Captain Chrom?"

…I know that voice…

Sumia! She's alright—damn you thoughts! You betray me once moooooore!

There she sits atop a… Pegasus. She found a Pegasus. "Yes Sumia?" Chrom replies.

Her pretty brown hair waves in the wind, and the sun glints off her breastplate. "Well, I found this Pegasus injured… is it alright if I stay behind a bit to take care of her?"

Chrom nods. "Very well. I'll leave someone behind who knows the way to lead you then…" Chrom looks over the group of us assembled, almost looking toward a soldier, before something deep inside me compels me to jump up.

"I'll do it." I say in a tone that is "attempted" to be impassive… but it comes out rather frantic.

"Hmm? Danny?" says Chrom.

"I'll guard her. Me and Kaorimaru are more than capable."

He studies me for a few seconds, and I just stare back at him; he nods after a moment. "Very well. I don't think you need to be reminded the route, considering you and CJ helped chart it."

CJ and Jordan pat me on the back as the two of them start heading toward the front of the group; the caravan slowly but surely takes off on the trail. I hop off Mike and take his lead, bringing him over to Sumia, who is sitting against a tree by the river, petting the Pegasus's head.

"Sumia…" I say quietly, still standing.

She looks in my direction but won't meet my eyes.

"Can I sit down?" At her nod, I sit beside her against the tree, and Mike follows suit. "What did I do wrong?"

"What?" she asks softly, her tone betraying no emotions.

"I asked what I did wrong. You've been avoiding me since…" my voice trails off as I make sure that there is no one else in the vicinity—as far as I know, me, her, CJ, Jordan and of course Kaorimaru are the only ones who know anything about the kiss. "Since you kissed me."

She mumbles something incoherent, looking down.

"Sorry?"

"I said… you didn't do anything wrong," she repeated.

"…I didn't? I didn't do anything to offend you?"

"No!" she says quickly, looking back up at me with brown eyes that are slowly dripping tears. Why the hell is she crying? "It's just… when I kissed you, it was because, well… you did something for me that I'd always hoped… someone else would do for me, and… it just meant so much to me."

"But why have you been avoiding me?"

"I was too embarrassed… I thought you might not want to talk to me again. I mean… usually you don't go around kissing someone you don't know very well."

I have to suppress a snort at that—that was one of the main things I did, dammit! Instead, I scoot a little closer and put an arm around her shoulders; Kaorimaru moves over and nuzzles her arm. "Sumia. …Don't worry about it. I don't hate you. I really do enjoy talking to you…"

She smiles a little and wipes her eyes. "Y-you do?" I smile and nod a bit. She embraces me and buries her face in my chest. "Danny…" she says quietly. "Thank you. To be honest… I didn't like doing what I did…"

"Sumia… you say you'd always hoped that someone else would do it for you…"

"I did?"

"Would that person happen to be… Chrom?"

She blushes quickly and looks down—I have my answer.


The sun is starting to set now, and I lit a fire. We still sit against the big tree, and Mike and the Pegasus have been grazing on the grass for about an hour now. Sumia and I have been talking on and off, mostly about books—I discovered she really does enjoy reading.

"Sumia, can I tell you a story? About where I come from?" I ask softly, looking up at the darkening sky.

"Would you mind terribly?"

I smile a little; "Not at all…" I take a deep breath. "I come from a place known as Earth—I'm pretty sure that it's a completely different world than where we are now. I was born in the year 1995—in my world, I'd be turning nineteen this year—in a small town in the southwestern region of a country known as Canada. I met CJ and our two friends Mitch and Jerome when I was two… and our families became very close. So close that our parents went into business together and moved us out of the country, to a tiny town in the northwest region of America, which is just to the south of Canada.

My parents were very busy as I grew up, and I was often left to take care of my little sister, Allie…" I smile sadly. "She looks a lot like me, actually… can you imagine a tiny little me running around?" I say, a little off topic.

Sumia giggles for a second, but also has a tiny blush on her face—perhaps she thought I was implying having children?

"Anyway, Allie was often left in my care as I grew up, and the guys often helped out—by this point I had actually met Jordan, Taylor and Adam, and CJ's twin sister would help out a lot too—woman's intuition, you know," I add. "But that's for another day. I'm going to tell you how we got here."

She's listening quite intently now as I continue. "It started on July 4th, precisely twenty-three days before my 19th birthday. In America, every July 4th there's always a huge celebration, because on July 4th, 1776, we signed a declaration that made us an independent country," I explain. "Every July 4th, our town had a huge party that involved a concert, and for the past three years, our band had been playing at the concert. Anyway, we were up on stage preparing to perform our first song, but then we felt like we'd been struck on the back of the head by something, and we slowly began to go unconscious—the last thing I saw before I blacked out was Allie."

"How sweet!" Sumia interjects quietly.

"Then… I had this dream, where Chrom and I were fighting someone… I don't remember much about it," I lie, not having told a single person about it, "but then I woke up in the middle of a field, where Chrom, Lissa and Frederick found me—then I found Jordan a few feet away from me, and CJ got found by Sully, and we met up with them a day later." I smile a little. "And that's it."

"…Wow…" Sumia says softly, seemingly in awe. "That was kind of short, but still… it was certainly interesting. It was so sweet… and also a little sad… that the last thing you saw before you blacked out was your sister."

"Heh… yeah, I guess it was…" I say, looking down.

"You sound like such a sweet older brother…"

"Allie was kind of my life outside my friends. I didn't have a pet, and my parents were always gone…"

"Mm…"

"I do kind of miss my old guitar though."

"You can play the guitar?" Sumia asks, brightening up a bit. The sun has finally dipped below the horizon, and the stars are coming out.

I smile, pulling my new acoustic guitar out of my saddlebag. I begin to strum softly, plucking out a quick tune. "I'm coming home to you, every night, every night, every night, every night…

I'm the colourless sunrise that's never good enough…

I'm the wind that's in your hair that ruffles you up…

If you can find a reason, you can let me know…

I won't blame you, I'll just turn and go…

I'm coming home to you, every night, every night, every night, every night,

Coming home to you every night, every night, every night, every night…

My mind is made up, nothing can change that,

I'm coming home to you, every night, every night, every night, every night…"

Sumia stares at me quietly. "Danny… your voice…"

I blush a little and rub the back of my neck sheepishly.

"It's angelic…" she whispers.

"Thanks… heh… you know, back where I come from, the girls would always say that it was the first thing they noticed about me."

"Really?"

"It wasn't true, though—they didn't call me 'Angel of Hotness' for no reason—if they really liked me because of my voice they'd at least call me by my name for a while."

"They didn't know your name?"

"I used to think that Adam didn't know my name until one day he randomly yelled 'Danny, think fast!' and hurled a rock at my head."

"A rock?! Were you hurt?"

I laughed a little. "Please… Adam's as weak as a tiny little baby Bacca."

"Bacca?"

"Oh, sorry. Some of Jerome's terminology—basically he's really weak."

"Oh…" Sumia says softly. She shivers a little.

"Are you cold?" I whisper to her as Kaorimaru nuzzles against my belly.

"N-no, I'm fine." She lies. I smile a little and take off my coat, wrapping it around her. "Thank you, Danny."

"Any time." I yawn a little. "I think I might get some sleep. Should we head off in the morning?"

She nods. "The Pegasus should be good to go by then… sleep tight."

I close my eyes and lean my head her way, and she leans her head against mine. "You too, Sumia-chan…"

"Danny…?" she whispers. "Are you still awake?"

It's been fifteen seconds, hell no I'm not awake. "Yes…" I reply.

"You were right… it was Chrom that I was hoping would save me…"

I know. It was all over your face… all over your pretty face… "Never would've guessed." I reply with another yawn, feeling the clutches of sleep embrace me.


A second later, no one's POV

When Danny drifted off to sleep, Sumia was still resting with her head on his chest, wrapped tightly and warmly in his coat. "It was Chrom that I was hoping would save me…" she says softly. "But now… I'm glad it's you that did."


With CJ and Jordan

"So, what do you think they're doing?" Jordan asks, bouncing along with Growlithe's rough gait.

"If I know Danny…" CJ begins, rubbing Danger Zone behind the ears. "Well, if we weren't in a different world, I'd say he'd be getting laid, but since we're not back home, and they're probably a lot more classy and stuff here… he's either trying and striking out, or he's being a gentleman for once in his life."

"Heh…" Jordan says with a yawn. "Hey Chrom! How much longer are we marching?"

"All night!" is the reply from the front.

Jordan and CJ look at each other with stunned expressions, before CJ starts on a quiet string of profanities: "God damn son of a bitch Risen! Damn motherbitches! I'mma rip off their heads and shit down their damn necks, dammit! I NEED SLEEP!"

"Well you ain't getting any!" Jordan replies.

"And you're not getting any pancakes, asshole!" CJ retorts.

"…I'm gonna kick your ass."


AAAAND THERE WE GO! A new chapter down, had a bit of Danny/Sumia in there (that was my first priority of returning, getting some Danny/Sumia in my first return chapter) and a bit of a demonstration of Danny's new skills (I didn't have much to go on here, since the guys didn't tell me anything really). A bit of comedy at the end, but I figured the chapter needed it. Thanks for reading guys, and as always, please leave a review!

P.S. the song that Danny sings for Sumia is "Every Night" by Imagine Dragons. Was originally going to be "Monster" but we decided to go with "Every Night".
