I'm really, really sorry.

I know that everyone has been holding their breath, waiting for a new chapter to come out for this story along with a few others. But…I can't…not with this story. I really am sorry, but Challenge of the Planeswalkers has officially been discontinued, and I owe everyone an explanation as to why this is.

First of all, the main problem I have is time. Time to work on this and all of my stories, time to work out all the details, and time to bring the story together. Unfortunately, time is something I no longer have as of late.

It's been almost nine months since I started working at my old job to help pay off student debts, and since then it's been one thing after another. First, my computer broke (the display got cracked, and now I'm limited to the confines of my room, a TV screen, and an HDMI cable), then we had to move-meaning it now takes longer to get to and from work (approximately spending between 11-13 hours away from home).

Not to mention that I can hardly keep up with news about Magic itself: case in point, I didn't learn any new information about Zendikar's second set until after the new Innistrad block was announced.

Secondly, there's the ever-existing distraction that is the Internet; YouTube in particular. With what time I have, it's spent watching my favorite YouTubers or learning something new about a particular franchise. Overall, between work and this constant distraction I can't focus enough to write anything.

And, if I'm being honest with myself, the ultimatum is that… *sigh* I don't really know where I want to go with this story. I had ideas, but they were childish at best-final battle against Nicol Bolas, Nathan becoming a full planeswalker at the climax of their fight and shapeshifting into a dragon/hydra, what kind of story is that?

So…I can't continue this story anymore, not with the plans I wanted for it. Story arcs that followed the blocks to an extent, character development, I just can't keep up.

Still, I don't think it would be right for me to just drop a bomb like that and be done with it. So, here's what would have happened in summary:

Theros Arc-Nathan and Becca begin a friendly game of Magic, and they figure out each other's preferred colors: Nathan with Jund and Becca with Bant. Nathan eventually brings out a powerful monster through the Suspension ability and plays the god card he added to his deck: Xenagos, God of Revels. Upon seeing the card, Ajani (disguised as Mr. Fulton) becomes uneasy, remembering the events of Journey into Nyx as they happened prior to Theros' release.

Nathan notices, but Ajani shrugs it off (I also gave a small hint in Chapter 8, where Xenagos would still be alive through the card-yeah, it didn't work out). Using Xenagos' ability, Nathan is able to overpower Becca and wins. The following day, Nathan is approached by the man who asked about Mr. Fulton's whereabouts, but Nathan avoids him. Mere seconds later, Nathan finds himself under attack from the man, who is revealed to be Garruk (still in his cursed state from the Chain Veil). Nathan manages to planeswalk away to the plane of Theros, where he appears in Meletis. After entering a temple, and effectively losing Garruk, Nathan planeswalks back to his plane.

Unfortunately, he appears right in front of Becca-who is talking to an undisguised Ajani Goldmane. Still confused and afraid from his encounter, Nathan is unable to process the situation, and the two decide to tell him "the truth".

Becca is not native to Nathan's plane, and is also a synthetically created, inhuman being-created on the plane of Theros using the essences of alseids, nyads, dryads, and Nyx. Created by a group of priestesses, Becca was created to become a bridge between humanity and the gods to try and end the mortal-Nyx war. Unfortunately, both gods and mortals saw her as an abomination and attempted to kill her.

She was ultimately struck down by a Nyxborn, and her spark ignited due to this event. She was dropped into a new plane, specifically Ravnica (and more specifically, right in the middle of the Selesnyan Conclave). The guild did their best to heal her, and Becca recovered in time. Becca was given a place within the Conclave, having appeared within their guild and showing natural talent with white and green mana, but in time she left the guild-promising to return someday.

She managed to planeswalk back to Theros exceptionally well, and discovered that the fight between mortals and Nyx had ended. Eventually, she met Ajani who had been preaching against the gods. Becca managed to speak with Ajani and show him what she was-a Nyxborn planeswalker. Reluctantly, Ajani took her under his wing and decided to teach her about her new powers.

Becca then reveals proof to Nathan about what she is-her ears coming to a point, and her lower torso area made of Nyx. Nathan can still hardly believe this, but overall believes her story. Ajani then explains that he will teach both of them how to master their abilities.

M15 arc-After some time after Becca's origins are revealed, Ajani/Fulton calls in sick for the day and their regular class receives a substitute. The substitute, Ms. Cress, is strict and demanding. At the end of the day, Ms. Cress asks Nathan to speak with her. Once she returns from the office-and no students are around-the substitute suddenly attacks Nathan with dark magic.

Nathan is able to retaliate, but is easily overpowered. Ms. Cress is revealed to be Lilliana Vess, and isn't very impressed with his performance as a planeswalker. Using her magic, Lilliana is able to convince Nathan to become her ally and she gives him a "calling card".

The next day, Ajani/Fulton is unavailable and Ms. Cress substitutes the class. At the end of the day, Nathan stays behind once more and Lilliana tightens her hold on Nathan, convincing him to alter his deck to black/red. The third day, Nathan once again stays behind after class. However, Ajani arrives via planeswalking, and tries to break Lilliana's control over Nathan

Unfortunately, it doesn't work, and Nathan issues a challenge to Ajani, claiming it to be their "tiebreaker". Ajani accepts and he convinces them to take their battle elsewhere. The battle is taken to a desert-still on Nathan's home plane-and both are equally matched; Ajani is focused on protection and healing, while Nathan is focused on indirect damage. Finally, Nathan calls on Lilliana through the card she gave him, and after a few turns activates her ultimate ability.

All of their destroyed creatures are brought back onto Nathan's side, and Ajani-although having a large amount of life-would not be able to survive them all. Nathan issues a final attack, but Ajani responds with a damaging spell of his own, defeating Nathan. Nathan is free from her influence, but decides to keep using Rakdos.

After this…things really get weird. Mardu…Dragon Tempests...awareness…lots of stuff I can't properly put together. In any case, I hope you at least got to enjoy this final summary and once again I apologize for having to discontinue this story. I just don't have the time, nor do I have a clear idea of how this story would progress in the future.
