As both sides fought each other, each one of them struggled to gain the upper hand. They had their equal shares of blows, but the fight ravaged on for the future of the Human Village.
"A martial artist. Hey, show me your moves!," Maira exclaimed.
"Gladly," Meiling said.
Meiling threw her rainbow danmaku at Maira and in turn, Maira threw rainbow danmaku herself.
"Hey, stop trying to copy me," Meiling said with anger.
"I don't think so," Maira said as the two fought over for superior danmaku.
Remilia shot out her damaku as Emily tried to camouflage herself using her perfume and counter using danmaku afterward. Instead of frustration, Remilia showed interest, complete with a smirk.
"My, I must admit, your perfumes really interest me. Perhaps I could try a sample once this is all over," Remilia said.
"I appreciate the complement, but before you do that, let's see if you can get my blood, Scarlet Devil," Emily said before resuming their match.
In the fight between Sakuya and Bridget, Sakuya and Bridget exchanged rocks and knives towards each other. On occasion, Bridget would attempt to hack at Sakuya with her axe with the latter countering with knife slashes.
"How about this?," Bridget asked as she transformed her axe into a bazooka. She charged up the weapon and shot a blast out of it. Meiling, Remilia, and Sakuya dodged out of the way as Bridget continued the assault. Eventually, Bridget hit all her targets, whether it was friend or foe.
"Hey, watch where you fire that thing!," Maira shouted.
The intense battle raged on as all combatants fought for victory. Eventually, the Scarlet Devil Mansion emerged victorious as they managed to clear to clear the sisters' respective spellcards.
"I had enough!," Bridget exclaimed.
A barrier erected, circling the middle of the arena and separating Remilia and Meiling from Sakuya and Maira and Emily from Bridget. Both sides on the outside of the barrier tried to force their way in, but Bridget knocked them back.
"Don't interfere! This is my fight now," Bridget said.
"What did you do?," Sakuya asked.
"I made this battle less complicated," Bridget said.
"Hey, Sakuya! We'll help you!," Meiling exclaimed.
"Looks like my statements were futile," Bridget said, sighing.
Meiling attempted to enter the closed force, but after many efforts, she couldn't. Bridget turned her head towards her sisters, ready to give an order.
"What are you two doing?! Get them!," Bridget exclaimed.
Both of the younger witches headed towards Remilia and Meiling. Sakuya couldn't leave them alone, but there was nothing she could do. At that moment, Bridget hacked away at Sakuya with her axe, leading Sakuya to dodge the strikes. She then tried to use time manipulation, but for some reason, she couldn't. She tried again and again, but to no avail.
"Oh, I forgot to tell you. Neither you or I can use our abilities or spellcards here. All we can do is perform regular attacks," Bridget said, haking away at Sakuya again.
"Why you..," Sakuya said, attempting to land a blow onto the target, but the target dodged on time.
In the outer parts of the arena, Remilia and Meiling engaged in a raging danmaku battle with the two younger witches.
"We won't let you reach our sister," Emily said.
"Let's finish this once and for all!," Maira said.
Meiling and Remilia managed to hit them with danmaku and in turn, they activated their final spellcard.
"Emily, we have to combine forces to finish them off," Maira said.
"I'm with you," Emily said.
Emily and Maira covered themselves with light and they proceeded to dash towards Remilia and Meiling with a patch of danmaku, which led them to dodge them. However, they ricocheted back, leaving an explosion behind, which shot out more danmaku. Remilia and Meiling counterattacked afterwards.
"Meiling, let's go," Remilia ordered.
With their combined strength, Meiling backed up Remilia's Spear the Gungnir with her own rainbow danmaku, enough to knock the two sisters out of the battle.
"Ugh, no!," Maira yelled.
"It's up to you, sis," Emily said, giving one last cough before both of them became unconscious.
"Let's finally finish this, shall we?," Bridget suggested. "You and I are one of the same after all. How does it feel, being powerless?"
Sakuya smirked at Bridget. She knew, without a doubt, that she can win this fight and she explained why.
"Powerless, you say?," Sakuya asked. "You're wrong. Who says that I need time in order to fight you?"
"Don't delude yourself. You control time to fight. Are you saying that you can fight without your power? Don't make me laugh. You're a coward, hiding behind the curtain that's called your mistress."
Sakuya then looked Bridget in the eye, responding "I am Sakuya Izayoi, head mistress of the Scarlet Devil Mansion."
She then pulled out a knife, pointing it toward Bridget.
"I will protect others before myself, whether it's my mistress, the Scarlet Devil Mansion, or others. And so help me, I will do everything for that cause, even if it means losing my loyalty or my powers. I have all the time in the world!"
"Grrr, stupid maid! I'll put you in your place in the name of my sisters!," Bridget said.
"Sakuya, don't! You have us to rely on!," Meiling shouted.
"If you lose, I'll never forgive you!." Remilia shouted.
Without warning, Bridget lunged at Sakuya. Worried about the head maid, both Remilia and Meiling tried to pierce the barrier again with their combined strength. However, their attacks were once again futile.
"The only way to break this barrier is to defeat me. Your maid is the only one that can," Bridget said as she swung her axe at Sakuya again, with her counterattacking.
Although she was on her feet, she knew that she was facing no ordinary opponent. Even the previous times that she fought against a powerful foe, this one is was the exception. She realized this, but she had to fight on, not only for herself but those around her.
"You guys, thank you. Because of you, I've been able to have a purpose in life," Sakuya said as she jumped out of the way again of Bridget's strike.
When she threw her knives at her, she said "My loyalty has been unmatched to you, Lady Remilia. And Meiling, you are a great gatekeeper, no matter what anyone says.
Both the Scarlet Devil Mansion residents couldn't find the right words to say to her. From her voice and her actions, it could only mean one thing.
"Sakuya, you...you can't...," Meiling said in tears.
"Sakuya...why?," Remilia said.
"Both of you, don't worry about me. There's bigger stakes here then what's in front of you. Save the hostages. Don't let my sacrifice be in vain," Sakuya said as Bridget heard that statement, furious at it.
"Shut up!," Bridget said, swinging down on her again, but Sakuya was getting tired. She had to finish this now or she would've lost her everything she fought for up until this point.
"They should be further in. Go!," Sakuya said, attacking Bridget once again.
Meiling and Remilia had no choice but to heed her words. After all, they can't do anything but watch.
"Lady Remilia, let's go," Meiling said.
"But, Sakuya...," Remilia said as Meiling went on ahead. "Hey, wait!"
With that, they were gone and now, the final part of this final battle was about to commence.
"You've dragged this on for far too long. It's time to end you permanently!," Bridget said, swinging her axe at the maid.
Sakuya retaliated with throwing knives at her. Both of them went at each other and both avoided each others' strikes. Bridget attempted to catch Sakuya off guard by jumping down onto Sakuya but she avoided it, only to have Bridget stab her with the spear end of her axe. It punctured Sakuya in the ribcage, but she couldn't succumb to her wounds now.
"My point stands. Now to say goodbye to your 'family'," Bridget said as she grabbed Sakuya's neck and threw her down to the ground.
No matter what pain might come at her, Sakuya had to endure it. Bridget's onslaught continued as she punched and kicked Sakuya around like a ragdoll, but Sakuya didn't scream in pain. After taking much punishment, Sakuya breathed heavily. Bridget took this time two swing her axe down on the helpless maid, but she had other plans. Gathering ever last bit of strength she had, Sakuya pulled out two knives and lunged at Bridget.
"Aaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh!," Sakuya shouted, surprising Bridget in the process.
"Huh, what?!," Bridget managed to get out before she got slashed by Sakuya's knives.
Seeing that her opponent was still alive, she continued her assault. Before Bridget can react, Sakuya performed a combo on the last witch, which staggered her, and then threw knives at her. With her down, Sakuya performed the final blow by dashing towards her and slashing her with a knife in each hand. As a result, Bridget succumbed to her wounds.
"So, this lowly maid... I guess you're as just as strong, if not stronger without your master... Very impressive, indeed... Well done...You deserve every bit of your victory...," Bridget finally said before she layed unconscious.
Breathing heavily and covering her blood-stained wound, Sakuya proceeded to catch up with Remilia and Meiling, disregarding the the three witches' bodies on the floor.
Luckily for Sakuya, Meiling and Remilia were in the next room with the hostages that the three witches' captured. As they saw Sakuya, their faces beamed with joy.
"Sakuya! Are you alright?!," Meiling said as she rushed to her fellow employee.
Remilia followed as well, worried about her servant's well-being.
"You had us worried for a second! I thought I lost you," Remilia said.
"Everything's...fine. I did it... I finally did it...Remilia...Meiling...," Sakuya said, as she fell to the ground with her eyes closed.
"Sakuya?! Sakuya!," Remilia shouted.
"Oh, man, this is bad! What do we do know?," Meiling panicky asked.
"Calm down! Let's get these people and Sakuya back to the Human Village," Remilia said.
"Thank you for saving us," one villager said.
"We owe you a debt we'll never forget," another one said.
"Don't sweat it. You really should be thanking Sakuya, not us," Meiling said.
"Meiling! Let's go!," Remilia shouted.
"I'm coming!," Meiling responded. "C'mon, guys, let's go."
"Hey, Sakuya?"
"Yes, milady?"
"Your ability to control time...treasure that power," Remilia said.
"Why you say that, milady?," Sakuya asked.
"That's your only lifeline, right? I was wondering what would happen if you were to somehow lose that power. What would you do in that situation?," Remilia said.
Sakuya didn't say a word. She was quite capable of defending herself without her power, but without it, she couldn't do what she would normally do with them. An interesting scenario, but Sakuya never thought of it that way.
"Well, I'll be more specific: Do you think that you can take any challenge with time manipulation?"
"Saying 'anything' is quite too broad of a subject, milady. Of course I can't take on any challenge with just time manipulation with just that power."
"Do you feel powerless without it?"
Again, the head maid didn't say anything. She realized that there are challenges that will be too overwhelming to her and in situations like those, time manipulation wouldn't be enough to aid her. However, she would do anything to protect her mistress and with or without that power, she had to put Remilia first then herself. She then thought that perhaps that's the source of her strength.
"No, milady. I will protect you, no matter what, even without time manipulation," Sakuya said.
"Very well, then. Alright, you may go," Remilia said.
"I must be on my way," Sakuya said, bowing before leaving the room.
"I think Sakuya is waking up."
"Ughh...Uhhhh..."
"She's alright. Yes, she's still alive."
"What...What happened...," Sakuya asked feeling the soft grass around her.
She opened her eyes to the starry sky as Keine, Akyuu, Reisen, Eirin, and Meiling were relieved that the beloved maid was able to still walk in Gensokyo.
"Sakuya!," someone shouted in the distance.
The figure rushed towards the conscious maid and gave her a hug. Everyone around her smiled, knowing that their hero was still with them. However, for some reason, Sakuya figured out that something is wrong.
"Milady, you can get off of me, now," Sakuya said.
"You had us very worried. If you died right then and there, I would've...I...I...," Remilia cried.
"I'm very sorry to have worried you, and everyone else here as well. Thank goodness you are okay," Sakuya said.
Remilia let go of her servant and observed the mess right in front of them. Thanks to the witches' doing, the entire Human Village was nothing but rubble and ashes. Some of the villagers even wondered if the village is beyond saving. Panic and sadness arose from the crowd as they struggle to come up with solutions to find a new home.
"What do we do now? Our homes are destroyed and there's nothing to go back to," one villager said.
"Don't say that. We can always rebuild it," a female villager said.
"But how?! We don't have the resources to do that and even if we do, we can't do this by ourselves," another male villager said.
"We have to calm them down," Akyuu suggested.
"Don't worry. I got this," Keine said.
Keine, reaching towards the front of the crowd, had to calm everyone down. It was an arduous task, but it was one that needed to be done.
"Everyone, stop!," Keine said as everyone turned towards her. "Yes, this incident caused the Human Village much destruction, but we can rebuild it in due time. If we all combine our efforts, we can make something out of this."
"But didn't that guy said that we can't do this by ourselves? How long do you think this will take?," another female villager asked.
"Don't worry about that. You have us to protect you and we have to start somewhere. Something is better than nothing," Keine said.
Having no choice, the villagers had to agree to what Keine had to say. Confidence grew and the villagers awaited for Keine's commands as they silenced themselves for their next task.
"Thank you, I'm glad you all agree. First order of business: Salvage anything you can find in the village," Keine suggested.
Every villager went on their way to follow Keine's orders. The next moment, Sakuya and everyone else went to Keine.
"Sorry to cut this a bit short, but we have go back home," Remilia said.
"Oh, you don't want to stay? You're welcome here for the time being," Keine said.
"No, thanks. We have some business to attend to," Remilia said.
"Keine, don't ask too much of them,
When her mistress said the word "home", she had a bad feeling of what's going to happen. The others weren't aware of it, but she knew that they weren't going to like what they're going to see. However, they had to see with their own eyes the full extent of the damage done by the witches.
"Very well, then. Farewell," Keine said as she headed towards the ruined village.
"Hey, thanks for everything. I know that you don't really care about the village, but I have to give you my gratitude for helping us out," Eirin said.
"Without you, then this incident wouldn't have been resolved, so thank you," Reisen said.
"It's no problem," Remilia said.
"Call on us anytime," Meiling said.
"Meiling, hush," Sakuya said.
"Yes, ma'am," Meiling said.
"Now if you'll excuse us, we need to get going. I'm sure that there are some people that need our help," Eirin said as she headed towards the village along with Reisen.
"Well, shall we get going?," Remilia said.
"Lets go!," Meiling said.
Sakuya didn't respond as she was bracing herself for the worst.
"Patchy? Patchy? Are you okay?," Flandre asked.
"*cough**wheeze* Yes, I am alright. Glad to see you still here. What about Koakuma and the Fairy Maids?," Patchouli asked.
"Looks like everyone's okay," Koakuma said, appearing right after Patchouli's question, arriving with a fairy maid.
"Ma'am, everyone's here and safe," a fairy maid said.
"Are you sure?," Patchouli asked.
"I'm sure. We checked around for any strays and it looks like everyone got out in one piece," the fairy maid said.
"Well, that's a sigh of relief," Patchouli said.
Thanks to the three witches, the Scaret Devil Mansion is nothing more than a smoking ruin. Smoke filled the air and it was too dangerous to enter the mansion. Thankfully, the inhabitants of the once lively place got out safe. Flandre and Koakuma joined Patchouli as the fairy maid flew off.
"How do we explain this to big sis, then?," Flandre asked.
"What's done is done. All we can do now is move forward," Patchouli said.
"What if Lady Remilia punishes us?," Koakuma asked. "What do we do?"
"Relax, both of you. You're just making the situation worse by worrying," Patchouli said. "Like I said, we couldn't influence the events that happened. This was all deliberate on the part of those witches."
At that moment, another fairy maid rushed in with a panicked look in contrast with the first. All three were concerned for the fairy maid as she spoke.
"Lady Patchouli and Miss Flandre, Remilia, Meiling and Sakuya came back," the fairy maid said.
"That's good, so why are you worried?," Patchouli asked.
"The mansion...The mansion...How do we...," the fairy maid stammered until Patchouli silenced with with a zap of static.
"Relax, I'll take care of this," Patchouli said.
"Oh, my, are you okay?," Koakuma asked.
"Yes, I am okay," the fairy maid said.
Remilia, Meiling, and Sakuya stood in front of the mansion. The former two felt like they might be imagining things as they took in the sight in front of them. Many feelings rushed inside them ranging from shock, surprise, and even total awe. Sakuya expected this, but she waited until both Remilia and Meiling came to their senses.
"What...happened? How could this...happen?," Remilia said.
"Remilia, please don't get upset," Meiling said.
Sakuya stood in the sidelines as the two reflect on the smoking ruin that once was the Scarlet Devil Mansion.
"My mansion...My beloved mansion...," Remilia continued.
"I...I...don't know...what to say...," Meiling said.
"Shut up!," Remilia shouted as she slapped Meiling across the face. "My mansion! How could this happen?! It's ruined! Ruined!"
Remilia turned towards Sakuya with a hostile feeling. Sakuya showed no emotion despite Remilia's anger.
"And it's all because of you! It's your fault that this happened! I can't believe this!," Remilia shouted. "I hate you! I hate you!"
Remila pulled out her spear and wanted to release her anger onto the maid for her disloyalty during this incident. Before she can make any moves, she was stopped by an icicle which froze her.
"Don't do it," Patchouli said.
"You...You...what were you doing this whole time?," Remilia asked.
"It couldn't be helped. The explosion was sudden and we didn't know that it would happen until it did," Patchouli said.
"Where's my sister at?," Remilia said.
"I'm here, sister," Flandre said, appearing from right behind the magician.
Patchouli released Remilia from her frozen grip as the vampire rushed towards her sister to give her a hug.
"Thank goodness you're safe," Remilia said.
"You too," Flandre said. "I don't want to lose your or anyone else ever again."
"Milady, I'm truly sorry for what happened. I really am. I will help you in the days to come. I will see to it that this mansion is repaired. I'm on your side, no matter what," Sakuya said.
"You better be," Remilia said. "I know that your still loyal to me after all this time, but don't forget you still need to be disciplined for your actions. You all will get punished."
"Yes, ma'am," Sakuya said.
"By the way, how did you two get out alive?," Remilia asked Patchouli and Flandre.
"It was all thanks to Flandre. As the mansion went ablaze, we barely had enough time to get out. It was a dangerous feat with explosions happening all around us. One particular explosion happened right under our feet and we thought we were goners until she made the explosion disappear. Without her actions right then and there, then we would have been done for," Patchouli said.
"She did all that?!," Meiling asked in awe.
"Well, that's my sister for you," Remilia said. "Enough talk. We'll deal with the punishments later once we rebuild the mansion."
"Won't that take a while?," Meiling asked.
"Even will all of us here and the fairy maids, we still need a couple of hands to make this task a swift one," Sakuya suggested.
"How are we going to do that?," Flandre asked.
"For now, let's just do what we can," Remilia said.
Both side of the rebuilding effort have gone smoothly so far. Some time passed, but both the Scarlet Devil Mansion and the Human Village progressed at a snail's pace. They both realized that if they are going to get this job done well and fast, they have to resort to outside sources. Therefore, the two sides joined forces to help each other to rebuild each building. Even with that more effective plan, no significant change of progress resulted with this method. One day, Akuyu, Keine, Sakuya, Meiling, and Remilia met up at a temporary base in the Human Village, a building in which the revitalization effort managed to complete.
"So, do you think that we should ask help from people outside the village?," Keine asked.
"That would be the most plausible option," Akyuu said.
"I agree," Sakuya said.
"Yes, but how are we going to convince them to help in our cause?," Remilia asked.
"Don't worry, I'll fine help," someone who arrived just now said.
"Would you, Reisen? That would be great," Eirin said.
"I'll get Tewi and Kaguya to help in some way," Reisen said.
"I'll go, too," Sakuya said. "I can find some people to help us in our cause"
"Well, I won't stop you, so, get to it. Right now, we have to keep moving," Keine said.
"Good luck, you two," Akyuu said.
A while later, Reisen and Sakuya returned to the village. Keine went out to them, hoping for good news.
"Did you find anyone?," Keine asked.
"Come take a look," Reisen said.
Sakuya and Reisen escorted Keine outside the unfinished village as her jaw dropped in awe.
"You guys...," Keine said.
"Yo, so what with that surprised look? Do I have something on my face?," a familiar magician said.
"Marisa, you...," Keine said.
"I'll help, as well."
"Alice," Keine said.
"This is quite a problem, so, I'll help as well," a familiar shrine maiden said. "I could get some donations here, but it really doesn't matter in a situation like this."
"Reimu," Keine said.
She looked around and saw old and new faces around them. Reimu, Marisa, Alice, the Moriya Shrine inhabitants, the Myouren Temple inhabitants, Toyosatomimi no Miko, Mononobe no Futo, Youmu, Yuyuko, Kaguya, Tewi, Nitori, Mokou, the Prismriver Sisters, Aya, Hatate, and Rinnosuke all came to their aid.
"My, this village suffered a lot. It won't be a safe haven for both humans and youkai alike the way it is," Byakuren said.
"I agree," Toyosatomimi no Miko said.
"We can't leave you guys alone, so we'll help you," Sanae said.
"You have us to count on," Kanako said. "The Human Village in a ruined state isn't good for anyone.
"You have my services, if you need them," Rinnosuke said.
"I agree. This'll be a great scoop," Aya said.
"Don't tell me that you're just doing this to get some publicity," Hatate said.
"Who said anything like that?," Aya asked with a smirk, prompting a glare from her rival.
"Alright, let's get to work!," Nitori exclaimed.
"Thank you guys for coming. With all of you here, I'm sure that this village will be repaired in no time," Keine said. "Let's get to work."
Keine's prediction came true as everyone helped work on rebuilding the Human Village. Most of them focused on rebuilding the buildings, including Sakuya, Youmu, Reisen, Marisa, Alice, Nitori, Kyouko, Shou, Nazrin, Tewi, Eirin, Kaguya, and Yuyuko, but some people often did other tasks on the side. Byakuren and Miko tried to spare their faith to others, but they were often too busy with the revitalization effort to really care. It is no different for both the Moriya Shrine and Reimu as both barely got any donations from any of the villagers. Aya and Hatate went around interviewing the villagers and even Keine and Akyuu after they heard what happened to them. However, they often ended their interviews quickly to continue working. Nazrin and Tewi did their jobs finding and giving materials to the workers that have trouble finding the materials for building and it made their jobs much easier and with Rinnosuke identifying which materials work the best and even donating some of them, there would be no shortage of building materials.
For entertainment, Marisa and Alice put on a magic show to boost the villagers' morale and Nitori would often fascinate them with her technology she uses to make building buildings easier. Akyuu would tell stories on the side about legendary creatures and stories of morale while Keine taught about the history of the Human Village to learn more about how important it is to maintain the integrity of it. Sakuya put on a show where she showed her cooking skills combined with fast and precise knife cuts followed by other stunts that a hibachi chef would make, making the people awe at Sakuya's performance and her cooking. With the Prismrivers, although they didn't physically help with the building effort, their music relieved and invigorated others to keep on going.
Regardless, each and everyone of the villagers didn't mind the hard labor and the exhaustion that followed. On the other end, at the Scarlet Devil Mansion, the revitalization efforts went well as some of the people rebuilding the Human Village helped rebuild the mansion as well, including Alice, Marisa and Nitori. Patchouli made sure to keep an eye out on her so she doesn't do anything suspicious.
"Don't worry, I won't steal any books, not in this situation. Promise," Marisa said.
"You better not," Patchouli said.
Despite that quarrel, the combined efforts of those three, the fairy maids and the Scarlet Devil Mansion residents caused for the mansion to be repaired in no time.
Overall, the extra hands contributed to a fast and safe recovery of both places and with no time at all, they finished building. Everything was restored to the way it was before the incident and everyone cheered for joy. However, not all is what it seems. The night after the Human Village was rebuilt, Sakuya stared into the horizon outside the village.
Well, I'm glad that the mansion and the Human Village were restored, but something still ails me. What happened to those three witches after their defeat?, Sakuya thought.
"My, staring off into space, are we? ," a voice said.
"Who?," Sakuya asked.
"Well, didn't expect to see you here."
"Yukari? What are you doing here?," Sakuya asked.
"Just wanted to check the affairs of the village. Looks like you all got this under control now," Yukari said.
"There's more to that, though," Ran said, following Yukari.
"Yeah, there's something fishy going on," Chen said.
"What do you mean?," Sakuya asked.
"Have you've seen the ones that caused this incident?," Yukari asked.
Sakuya paused with a feeling of shock. Was Yukari following Sakuya and the three witches all this time? If so, what was she planning to do with them?
"How did you know about this?," Sakuya asked.
"Certainly, this whole incident was worth investigating. I'd like to know what capabilities those three have. Therefore, I want to know if you have any idea where the cause of the incident is?," Yukari asked.
"No, I haven't," Sakuya said.
"I understand," Yukari said.
"What do you plan to do with them?," Sakuya asked.
"None of your business," Chen said.
"By the way, I gotta thank you for resolving this incident. Usually, I would've pestered that shrine maiden to do it, but you beat me to it. Now, we must be on our way," Yukari said before disappearing into her gap along with Ran and Chen.
Sakuya stood there wondering what all of that was about. Knowing Yukari, she thought there is nothing to be concerned about at the moment.
"Sakuya, there you are," a familiar voice said.
"What is it, Akyuu?," Sakuya asked.
"I think I may have gotten some information on those three witches. Not too long ago, Keine and I went to the oak tree they resided in. Don't worry, they're not there, thank goodness. I happened to search around for books pertaining to them and I came up with something. Come with me and I'll explain," Akyuu said.
Sakuya followed along with Akyuu as she wanted to see if it was worth it for Akyuu to go out of her way to get her.
Whaaaattt?! You thought this fic was dead?
Of course not! Didn't I say that I was going back to this one day? Well, here it is.
I've gotten over that fit three months ago but I couldn't finish this because of college and NaNoWriMo. So, for those of you who still follow this fic, here's the Final Chapter, or rather Part 1. I intend to make this three parts since everything in this will hopefully tie some loose ends that I plan to fix when I revise this.
It's not over, yet. I will still write it until I feel satisfied with the end result, so until then, please cheer me on.
