Author's Note: Time just flew away from me today, which is why this chapter is going up as late as it is. Might be having slower updates in the future- I'm moving this upcoming weekend and have quite a bit of work to do before that happens.
Also, I missed this milestone last chapter, but this story is officially the longest one I've ever published! And we still have quite a ways to go. I hope you enjoy this chapter as we start the final battle!
Lucemon grinned maniacally at the sight before him. "Well, I'm glad to see I didn't misjudge you. You managed to return to your original forms. This works perfectly- I did say I owed you for two different defeats- one as the ancient warriors and once as the spirits. When we last fought, I believe I can count that as revenge against the Spirits. But in order to really get in on the nostalgia, I believe a change of form is in order." The darkness that coated the left side of his body started retracting inward, causing his wings to return to their original angelic state. The sleeve on his left arm jerked upward in stages as he sealed away his powers of darkness, allowing him to revert to his original form. It came at the cost of reduced power, but this was the way for him to truly get revenge on six of the ten who had rebelled against him and the two that had survived long enough to seal him away.
"There, now this is a proper—" Lucemon's sentence abruptly ended when AncientMegatheriummon rammed into him with his Great Snowplow attack. Much like the other Legendary Warriors, it had taken Tommy a few seconds to get used to his new form. Luckily, Lucemon had used that time for gloating and reverting to a weaker form, allowing the Warrior of Ice to charge in with his attack. The charge was designed to destroy glaciers with ease, and the tiny angel was sent flying when the ancient beast collided with him. He grimaced in pain and managed to right himself in midair, just to find himself face to face with AncientKazemon. Zoe used her new rapier to slash Lucemon repeatedly, each slash leading a different colored laser. The Rainbow Symphony attack sent the Angel Digimon crashing to the ground, where Koji was waiting.
In the last fight with Lucemon, Koji had lost his arm in an attempt to wield darkness and light at the same time. However, in his new form as AncientGarurumon, his missing left arm had been replaced by an arm comprised of solid light. Koji made use of both of these arms as he went into his Sharpness Claymore attack, charging his swords with light and repeatedly slashing the downed angel before jumping away. The dodge was necessary as Koichi took over for his brother. When Lucemon sealed his darkness away, he also became a lot less vulnerable to light based attacks. However, this came at the cost of an increased vulnerability to darkness, a fact that AncientSphinxmon was all too happy to exploit. His roared out his Dark Blast attack and hit Lucemon with a concentrated laser of darkness before jumping away.
As soon as Koichi was clear, Takuya began his assault. He called out "Gaia Tornado!" and created a swirling vortex of lava that encased Lucemon. WarGreymon had the ability to draw natural energy into a ball of fire with his Terra Force, but AncientGreymon was the originator of that ability and had passed it on to other Greymon species Digimon in the ancient past. Takuya then nodded to JP, signaling he was ready for the Warrior of Thunder to join the attack. AncientBeetlemon responded by launching his Calamity Thunder into the center of the vortex, and the mighty thunderbolt dispersed the former attack with its ferocity.
When the attack cleared, Lucemon had clearly seen better days. He was covered in burns and slashes, and he was missing an arm and a leg. However, despite all this he still chuckled. "I admit, I underestimated how rusty I would be with this form. You may have fought me like this a few years ago, but for me centuries have passed." There was a flash of light and suddenly Lucemon was healed of all his damage. "Thanks for the warmup. But I'm afraid you'll have to do a lot better than that to stop me." He paused for a second as a strange array of shapes and colors flew past him, and recognizing the new dimension he was in he looked beyond the Legendary Warriors for the first time since the fight started. "Did your friends really think Mask's Square could stop me? I am not bound so easily to a single dimension."
Takuya just smirked back at him. "Who says this was designed to stop you? We just needed to be able to go all-out without destroying the Digital World. In Mask's Square, we don't have to be nearly as worried about collateral damage. You wanted us at full power? You got it!" His boast was cut short as Lucemon punched him in the face, but the Warrior of Flame managed to drive the angel back by igniting himself. As the Angel retreated Takuya took a moment to let the stars clear from his vision before he threw himself back into the fight. The opening blows were finished, and now the real fight was about to begin…
Hideto managed to take his eyes off of Rei to turn to Sigma. "How's ChaosPiedmon holding up? I know this was probably a little bit more than you anticipated coming in to this fight." The masked DigiDestined didn't take his eyes off his computer screen as he responded. "I'll need to keep an eye on it, but so far it is working. Even with the added field, we were able to keep the needed space manipulation. We've lost time manipulation though, and ChaosPiedmon will only be able to fight with one additional copy of himself." With this, Hideto glanced up at the black jester floating silently above them before nodding. "Okay, sounds great. Keep up the good work."
The original plan going in to this fight was to set up a three-layer version of Mask's Square to host this final battle. The DigiDestined would be sheltered within the smallest bubble with the effort of taking them out of harm's way so they couldn't be used as an easy target to weaken their partners. The second bubble would be more along the usual size, and would host ChaosPiedmon and Chaosdramon as they engaged whatever opponent they happened to be fighting. The third and largest bubble would encompass the entire battle to allow the DigiDestined a chance to more closely observe everything while still putting enough distance between the teams that some of the more destructive members wouldn't have to worry about hitting their allies.
As soon as Belphemon required a personal Mask's Square of his own, however, ChaosPiedmon wasn't sure if he would be able to keep the plan going with the addition of a fourth layer of Mask's Square. However, it sounded like they were as close as they could get to a perfect scenario. The outermost bubble had managed to encapsulate an area around two kilometers in diameter, though within its confines the fighters had nearly five times that amount of space. The bubble the DigiDestined were in felt about the size of a small movie theater, though from the outside they were packed into a space no bigger than a speck of dust. That had also been part of the plan to make everyone so much harder to hit- even if they were invisible someone might get lucky and hit their bubble, but if they were this small the chances of it happening were significantly lower.
The comparison to a movie theater wasn't just a coincidence, however. The edges of their bubble served as projector screens showing each individual battle raging in the outermost bubble. The screens were more than just a video feed, however. They were designed so the backup squad of Digimon could jump through to help out anyone who was in dire need of it, and also allowed the healing Digimon to treat injured parties without having to jump into battle themselves. They had already had to take advantage of this as the initial charge of the Royal Knights had done more damage to those who intercepted it than they had anticipated. Chaosdramon had taken the worst of it from trying to subdue Alphamon on his own, only to receive a series of deep gashes from the Royal Knight's Seiken Gradalpha. Luckily ChaosPiedmon had then been able to throw up the second layer of Mask's Square around the combatants, meaning everyone was now fighting where expected and capable of receiving help.
The only exception to this rule had been the battle of the two UlforceVeedramon. Because ChaosPiedmon had to spread his focus over an extra field of Mask's Square, they weren't able to watch the battles or intervene in them in anything other than real time. Unfortunately, UlforceVeedramon moved so quickly it was impossible for anyone to actually see what was going on. However, if this had to happen to anybody, it was probably best it happened to UlforceVeedramon. The healers might not be able to help him directly, but the Ulforce was such a powerful healing factor that they wouldn't be needed. The only problem was the extra strain this put on Davis, but luckily the healers could easily tend to his fatigue, and thus indirectly support the Holy Knight. MarineAngemon was making sure to re-energize the DigiDestined of Miracles every so often, while Davis himself was busy trying to synchronize his Crest to the Digimental of Legends once again in order to give his partner the final push needed to reach his Super Ultimate form.
While MarineAngemon was occasionally tending to Davis, Ophanimon was currently busy trying to minimize the darkness coming from Rei to ensure she could at least sleep comfortably if nothing else. At first, this hadn't been good enough for Neo, who practically demanded that they forcibly revert Belphemon and Leviamon so his sister stopped being a conduit for the power of two Demon Lords. However, Tai had immediately shut down that notion. At first Hideto had been supportive of Neo's threat to punch Tai in the face if he didn't let him help Rei, but when the DigiDestined of Courage explained himself Hideto grudgingly admitted he had a point.
Since Rei didn't have a Crest, this Digivolution to Mega was only a result of the Digimental's power and couldn't be repeated. A quick glance around the edges of their bubble showed that their side was holding their own currently against Lucemon and the Royal Knights, but it was obvious each team was fighting a superior opponent. By the time this battle was finished, they might need everyone at full power, and that included the two new Demon Lords. Hideto could tell from the tone of Tai's voice that he absolutely hated giving this order and would have given anything to be in Rei's place, but he was just trying to do what was in the best interests for everyone.
Even Neo seemed to realize this, as he only halfheartedly brought up his next objection that even if Leviamon and Belphemon woke up, they might not be fighting on their side. It was Kari and Mari who weighed in on this, revealing that if the need arose each of their partners could control the Demon Lords- whether it relied on Lilithmon's Darkness Love or Rosemon's Thorn Whip. With that decided, it was up to Ophanimon just to make sure Rei was comfortable, and then up to everyone else to keep an eye on how the other fights were progressing and help out in whatever way they could.
UlforceVeedramon grunted in pain as his back was sliced open by his counterpart's Ulforce Saber. Thanks to the healing power of the Ulforce the damage didn't last more than a second, but there was a larger problem- the other UlforceVeedramon had been directly in front of him when the attack hit. It was bad enough fighting against someone he could barely keep up with, but somehow this ancient version of himself was able to attack from two directions at once. Seeing UlforceVeedramon X charging to his right side, he threw up his Tensegrity Shield only to feel his left arm get stabbed. Finally having enough of his failure on defense, Davis's partner used all of his speed to charge directly at his opponent, moving so quickly even he wouldn't have been able to keep track of himself. "You're mine!"
His Ulforce Saber pierced right through his opponent- only for his left wing to get sliced off a millisecond later. "What… how…" Suddenly, UlforceVeedramon heard a voice similar to his own in his head. "Wait, are you actually trying to talk with me? As in, with your real voice?" The voice paused for a second before taking on a much more condescending tone. "You are a total amateur, aren't you? I was known as Godspeed, and this is the champion chosen to fight me? You can't even use the Ulforce to track my movements or communicate with me! You may call your self UlforceVeedramon, but you may as well be a little In-Training. Isn't that right, VeeVee?"
Unlike most opponents, UlforceVeedramon X hadn't bothered to stop his barrage of attacks as he taunted his enemy. However, in between repeatedly trying and failing to block, counter, or even dodge the hits, UlforceVeedramon noticed something odd. His opponent hadn't slowed down, yet he was able to hear all the taunts in the time it took for his opponent to land six hits. Since he was able to move well faster than the speed of sound and UlforceVeedramon X was faster still, there shouldn't be a way for UlforceVeedramon X to even relay all that information at that speed. Still, how something like this was possible didn't exactly concern UlforceVeedramon as he got a glimpse of his opponent and put everything he had into a Dragon Impulse X, managing to aim it properly so he caught his target just as he was coming out of a turn.
However, even that proved to be far too slow, as UlforceVeedramon passed through nothing more than an image of his opponent. An image that seemed to laugh at him as he passed through it. "What, is little VeeVee relying on his eyes in this fight? Haven't you figured it out yet? You've been attacking my afterimages this whole time- and not even then. That implies you're one move behind me. You're attacking me where I was five attacks ago. You'll never get me if you rely on being able to see or hear me. Why don't you try another sense?"
UlforceVeedramon was about to growl out that he could easily track UlforceVeedramon X by smell but he didn't want to subject his nose to that when he realized something. UlforceVeedramon X had sounded surprised when he tried talking normally, and then shifted to his current attitude. Clearly sight and hearing weren't working, but his counterpart had flat out said it was possible to track him using the power of the Ulforce. He hadn't ever really used the power for anything other than healing, but at this point he didn't really have anything to lose. He tried tapping deep within himself and really focusing on the holy overwrite within him. He closed his eyes, only to feel a sudden presence bearing down on his left. He deployed his Tensegrity Shield and for once his efforts were rewarded with a dull thud instead of a slashing pain.
Almost immediately the presence jumped behind him, but he was able to turn and intercept this with a shield from his right arm. UlforceVeedramon just smiled- it was a small step, but he was finally able to react to his opponent. It would still take some time for him to get used to this new sense, but eventually he'd be able to take back the offensive. He felt the presence directly in front of him and raised his shield to intercept. Once again, he heard the sound of his opponent's weapon hitting his shield, but he also felt a stinging pain in his shoulder. For a brief instant, he felt rather than saw what had happened- his counterpart had somehow changed the shape of his sword so it resembled a scythe, allowing the blade to curl around his shield and still hit him.
"Well, I'll give this to you- you're a quick learner. But I'm afraid it will take more than that for you to win this one, VeeVee. I can't make things easy for you. What do you say we turn the speed up a bit?" UlforceVeedramon wasn't even able to sense his opponent's actions as the enemy Royal Knight attacked him from six directions. He could only growl in pain until the Ulforce healed his wounds, but by that point his opponent had disappeared from all his senses- though his voice lingered on. "I told you I was known as the Godspeed. I can't make this easy on you, but surely you can try a little harder? You're starting to bore me, VeeVee."
ChaosPiedmon chuckled, though it was obvious from the sound that he felt no joy. Even he was having a hard time making light of the current situation. While he had been dividing his focus across setting up multiple layers of Mask's Square, Alphamon had proven exactly why he was known as a deterrent force even to beings like the Royal Knights. Chaosdramon's Red Digizoid armor had been about as effective as paper against the Aloof Hermit's blade, and even with the timely intervention of MagnaAngemon to heal the injured Machine Digimon he had been forced back to his Machinedramon form for the time being.
With Chaosdramon out of the picture, ChaosPiedmon knew he had to step up to be the main fighter. However, he was far from full power himself. Even with Sigma's help, he was spreading his power across so many things that he could barely create one more copy of himself. He would like to create hundreds of copies of himself to always keep his opponents guessing which one was real, but at this point he'd have to do with one copy that was taking a disturbingly long time to become solid. Luckily, Alphamon seemed content to let his opponents make the next move, so ChaosPiedmon decided it would be rude to refuse the offer.
With a call of "Trump Sword!" the demonic clown sent two of his swords flying towards the Royal Knight. Alphamon made no effort to defend himself, but the Demon Man Digimon wasn't going to take any chances. When the blades got within three feet of Alphamon, he teleported them so they came at the Holy Knight Digimon from both sides. Unfortunately, the Royal Knight didn't need to react to the sudden change, as the blades seemed to hit an invisible wall and merely floated in midair for a few seconds. ChaosPiedmon was about to warp them again to try a new angle, but the swords suddenly disappeared in a burst of flame.
The jester found himself at a complete loss for words as two new swords appeared on his back. Eventually, he managed to get his brain to catch up to what he just saw. "That's strange, I don't remember grabbing the flammable swords for that attack. I must really be spreading my focus a little thin. Let's try that again, shall we?" He grabbed the newly replaced swords, spent some time checking them to make sure they weren't his trick swords, and called out "Trump Sword" again after they passed his inspection. This time, he didn't bother throwing them, instead warping them directly into Alphamon's body.
At least, that had been ChaosPiedmon's intention. However, the swords instead materialized a foot away from Alphamon, once again held up by some unknown force. When the swords burst into flames again a second later, ChaosPiedmon just hung his head. "I'll really have to remember that trick for later. If it's this annoying from this end, I'm sure it would be hilarious to have a barrier that nothing can penetrate and add in a delayed flame effect." He knew Sigma was already analyzing whatever Alphamon was using, but ChaosPiedmon smirked as he had an idea. "So, nothing can penetrate this barrier? Well then, I'll just have to attack him with nothing."
Luckily, within the realm of Mask's Square, nothingness was just as valid of an object as anything else. ChaosPiedmon concentrated for a few seconds before two glowing red blades extended from the palms of his hands. To an outside observer, the blades appeared to be made from energy, but ChaosPiedmon only gave the blades an appearance at all because he had a flair for the dramatic. The ethereal blades were essentially solidified nothingness, and ChaosPiedmon turned back to the Royal Knight ready to try out his new weapons. However, he noticed something different about his opponent, and immediately used his copy within a deeper layer of Mask's Square to converse with his partner.
"Hey Sigma, did something happen to Alphamon? His sword and his wings disappeared while I was busy making these." Sigma and Neo didn't bother looking away from their computer screens, but Sigma still answered the question. "Honestly, we were hoping you did that. He put away his sword, and then his wings retracted back into his armor. It came with a significant drop in his power as well. If that wasn't a result of you affecting him, it must mean he powered down on purpose."
Flashing his attention back to his original body, ChaosPiedmon just smirked. "So, are we so weak compared to you that you're getting bored and deciding to hold back? Well, let's just see if we can fix that." He focused on his blades for a few seconds before pointing them both at Alphamon and stating, "Pierce". The tip of each blade suddenly shot forward, and unlike his previous attacks this one actually made contact with the Royal Knight. The attack hadn't been strong enough to penetrate his armor, but at least ChaosPiedmon now had an attack he could use to his advantage. "Sigma, get ready to get some more data on Alphamon. I'm pretty sure we'll need Chaosdramon to actually do any damage, but I can scout him out for you. Neo, let me know when you're ready for action."
With that, he and his copy disappeared, only to take turns flying around Alphamon leaving behind a trail of blade fragments. It became impossible to distinguish between the original and the copy, as each followed the same pattern- appear to the side of Alphamon, leave behind a trail of fragments, shout out "Here!', and then fire the blades at the Royal Knight. Alphamon didn't particularly care about the needles that embedded in his armor, but that suited ChaosPiedmon just fine- instead of trying to damage Alphamon, he was using his attack to transmit even more data back to Sigma for analysis. The Aloof Hermit appeared to be scanning the area for a worthy opponent, but if he wasn't careful he'd regret giving his opponents so much time to analyze his power…
Omegamon took a second to recover after his latest clash with his counterpart. This Omnimon clearly had more combat experience than he did, but to this point neither one of them had the advantage. He supposed he should consider himself lucky in that regard- apart from UlforceVeedramon Future Mode, none of his friends had the same level of power he did. And if he could fight this ancient knight to a draw, he could only hope the other Knights had some weakness to exploit. Then again, that wasn't making things any easier in his fight.
As always, Omnimon was the first to charge forward into battle, keeping Omegamon on the defensive. However, while he had always been able to turn away his opponent's Transcendent Sword, he wasn't able to block out his counterpart's words. "Why do you hesitate? Please, grant me an honorable death while such a thing is still possible! I am leaving the openings, but I cannot explicitly point them out to you. Why have you not taken advantage? I do not know how long I can hold back the Omega inForce to give you a chance at victory. You must make use of yours before I begin to use mine!"
Within a deeper layer of Mask's Square, Hideto's eyes brightened at the new information. For once, Omnimon had actually provided something to follow up on in his pleas for death. The two identical Royal Knights had clashed for a while now, but Omnimon's words were finally starting to become useful. At first, the Holy Knight had only pleaded for death before continuing. When Omegamon wasn't able to grant his wish, he at least explained why he wanted to die. Lucemon had brought the Royal Knights forward in time, but he had also somehow gained some level of control over their bodies. Omnimon described it as being trapped in his body and forced to watch as it committed horrible acts. Between this and some event Omnimon referred to as the Great Schism, the ancient Royal Knight seemed all too eager to die before he could besmirch his honor even further.
Hideto really wasn't sure how to feel about this whole scenario. One part of him was absolutely furious at Lucemon for taking such a proud Knight and reducing him to a prisoner in his own body. Considering how Neo had described his Daemon-induced possession after Arkadimon absorbed the Demon Lord, Hideto had a first-hand account of exactly how horrible that felt. Another part of him just pitied Omnimon and wanted to put him out of his misery, which aligned with the whole goal of killing Lucemon. However, Hideto also remembered the one time Omegamon had turned against him- when Hideto ordered him to kill an opponent who Omegamon couldn't see as evil. This just reminded him of how he had acted during that whole scenario, which made suicidal depression seem like a healthier response to grief by comparison. Omnimon was asking to die- Hideto had actively tried to kill off an entire world and still couldn't forgive himself. This added self-loathing on top of the apprehension, pity, and anger he was feeling, which made it difficult to determine how he actually felt.
However, Omegamon didn't seem conflicted. "You say I need to use the Omega inForce, but I don't even know what that is. Instead of dying, why don't you help me beat Lucemon?" He blocked another slash from his counterpart and continued his conversation over their crossed swords. "Your body may be rebelling, but you can still talk to me. Tell me what this power is and how I can draw it out. Make Lucemon regret enslaving the Royal Knights!" Omnimon withdrew his sword and caused Omegamon to lose his balance as he suddenly didn't have the resistance pushing back against him, but Hideto's partner managed to right himself before he could be stabbed when Omnimon brought his sword out again. However, the ancient Royal Knight seemed to take his younger counterpart's words into consideration.
"You say you do not know what the Omega inForce is? Perhaps it bears a different name now, but I sense that you've used its power before." Omegamon wasn't able to respond for a while as Omnimon rained a series of blows on him that forced him to devote all his attention to defending himself. Eventually the barrage slowed down, allowing Hideto's partner to continue the conversation. "Well, there was one strange power I channeled into my sword, but I can't use it now. It half killed me and apparently deleted a good portion of the landscape along with my foe. I cannot afford to use that here." Omnimon sprang back from Omegamon and managed to stop himself from attacking for long enough to begin his explanation.
"That power you used was the Omega inForce- or rather, a variation of it. If you charge all of its power into your blade, you are able to unleash the ultimate attack- All Delete. I once used that power on my master Yggdrasil after he attempted to delete the Digital World- and I ended up causing the very destruction I was trying to prevent. Luckily the world was able to reboot itself." No longer able to resist the compulsion to battle, Omnimon locked swords with Omegamon once again. He took this as his cue to stop reminiscing on his past and start passing on more of his knowledge. "While All Delete is one application of the Omega inForce, it is not its only benefit. When you master it, you will be able to instantaneously read and react to the next move your opponent will make. You will know what your opponent will do before he does, and prevent it from happening if you so desire. If I weren't keeping my Omega inForce sealed away, you would have no chance of defeating me."
Omegamon nodded. "Okay, so that explains what the Omega inForce is." Using his MetalGarurumon arm, he shoved his older counterpart away to give himself a little space and time to recover after the last exchange of blows. "But how do I use it? Channeling power into my sword is simple, and I can do that on my own. Reading and predicting my opponent's moves is something I'm used to leaving to Hideto." Omnimon let out a chuckle even as he charged back into the fray. "I'm sure Jesmon and Shoutmon would be happy to know you think that. They always did believe true strength came from working with others."
As he started pushing Omegamon back, Omnimon realized he was running out of time- he was being less and less effective at keeping his own power in check. "I do not know if I can pass on mastery of your power in simple words. But I can at least guide you. Begin by…AGHHH!" Omnimon screamed in pain before igniting his Transcendent Sword at taking a swing at Omegamon. After so long of simple swordplay, Hideto's partner was taken by surprise by the sudden use of stronger attacks, and barely managed to put up his Brave Shield Omega before the Omega Sword attack made contact. The shield held, but Omegamon was still sent flying away by the flaming shockwave.
Before Omegamon could stop his backward momentum, a massive explosion shook his shield. He didn't need to be able to see his opponent to realize what had just hit him- of all his attacks other than All Delete, Omnimon only had one attack with that much force. Luckily, the Brave Shield Omega could withstand the Omega Cannon attack, but Omegamon wasn't sure how many hits it could take. Knowing he had to get the initiative back in this fight, he launched missiles from his MetalGarurumon arm that arced around the Brave Shield Omega and struck his adversary. Omegamon knew such an attack wouldn't do any real damage, but it gave him the time he needed to put his shield down and jump back into the fight.
Author's Note: And that's the start of the battle! There will be plenty of chapters as we cut back and forth between the 14 concurrent fights and occasionally return to the DigiDestined for updates. Of course, Lucemon is still dicking around and not taking this fight seriously, which is why it can even get to this point. The Legendary Warriors are stronger than he expected though, so he won't be holding back for too long…
Alphamon's flame barrier is a reference to how he stops Togemon's attack in the first tri movie- just upscaled because this Alphamon is stronger than what we saw from the movie. In response, ChaosPiedmon is channeling Xemnas from Kingdom Hearts II and attacking with lasers comprised of solidified nothiningness.
The fight between the UlforceVeedramon was particularly difficult to write- both because neither one goes by a nickname and because UlforceVeedramon moves faster than anybody else can follow, and UlforceVeedramon X moves faster than HE can follow. I did take some inspiration from Freezing- the actual fight was heavily inspired by the fight between Satellizer and Arnett while UlforceVeedramon X's title comes from Cathy.
I also felt bad writing the Omnimon X vs Omegamon fight, since I had to reduce the Royal Knight to such a pitiful state of not being in control of himself. I figured the Royal Knights are villains so often that to do something different with them I had to make them unwilling participants in the battle- not just "change sides halfway through", but forced to fight against their wishes. Each Knight has a different approach to dealing with this, though- they are resisting with what little freedom Lucemon still gave them.
Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this and I look forward to hearing from you soon!
