Hey everyone who bothers to read this (XD)!
Today we will be battling a bunch of Admins! Hold onto your hats as Aeron uses his Bankai, and Haku and Hyoshiro get ready to use their own power! Yay!
AND REVIEW! BUT DON'T ASK ME WHEN THE NEXT CHAPTER COMES OUT!
"How do you think Chikorita, Ninetales, Lucario, and Daikenki are doing?" Axel asked. "Do you think we should be worried?"
"Don't worry, everyone knows that 2+2=over 9000," Pikachu said, smiling.
*insert record scratch here*
WHAT THE HECK GOES ON IN YOUR MIND? Latias thought, smashing Pikachu in the face.
Axel suddenly pivoted. "Guys, look at that!"
A massive column of green light blasted into the sky, and then clouds began to spiral around it, blotting out the sun. A hurricane was appearing!
A hurricane? Latias thought. The weather's going weird!
Lightning bolts crashed down randomly and frequently, and hailstones the size of this computer I am typing on fell from the sky. Rain poured down in Elephants and Giraffes, and gales blasted at unbelievable speed. But twelve lightning bolts came from sky to ground far away, not fading.
"This weather's whacko! It's like Aeron's going Bankai!" Pikachu shouted.
"Pikachu," Axel said. "I think that's what's going on."
"Exactly," Pikachu said.
…
"WHAT?" Pikachu shouted and Latias thought.
A lightning bolt suddenly crashed through the ceiling, destroying it and smashing into the spot where the beam of green had blasted from. Everyone screamed except Hanna and Anabel.
"What the heck?" Gaea shouted. "He self destructed!"
Lightning bolt after lightning bolt crashed into the spot where Aeron had been, and it was blinding. The ceiling was totally decimated as a result.
"Aeron got struck by lightning!" Ben shouted. "We should do something!"
As suddenly as they started, the lightning stopped. And everyone who hadn't seen it before was shocked by what they saw:
A spiky obelisk of ice had formed where the lightning struck. It reached up all the way to the sky.
"A tower of ice…" Sam said. "But this isn't ordinary ice! What's going on?"
"And more importantly…" Cynthia squinted. "Where's Aeron?"
The tip of the obelisk suddenly shattered. And Aeron was there, sword still pointing skyward.
But not the same sword. It was a two-handed sword, much fancier than Tsubasa no Rai-oh, with the blade widening after the guard's spikes and then tapering down to the point. Aeron himself was clad in a new green long sleeved, ankle length coat lined with gold inside.
Aeron's eyes opened, totally calm. "Bankai. Senkei…Kage no Rai-oh (Final Release. Slaughterscape: Thunder King's Shadow)."
"That's your Bankai?" Sam asked. "It's not that big…"
"I dare you to say it's wimpy," Aeron said, leveling it at Gaea. "Cipher Administrator Gaea. I'm afraid this is the end."
Suddenly, the remaining Pokémon-Celebi, Vaporeon, Leafeon, Entei, Raikou, Suicune, Moltres, Zapdos, Articuno, Toxicroak, Ivysaur, and Floatzel-were charging at him, trying to mow him down.
Aeron sighed, and held out his hand, allowing icy energy to accumulate. "Hama Hyoketsu!" The sphere fired from his hand and flew towards the Pokémon. They tried to dispel it with their own attacks.
The next instant, all of them were frozen in a massive glacier.
"Holy crap! He made a glacier!" Ben shouted. "Wait…where'd he go?"
Just like that, Aeron was gone. Everyone looked around, but he was nowhere to be seen.
"What're you all looking at?" they heard. "I'm right here!"
They all turned, but there was no one. "Too slow, I'm right here!" they heard from another corner of the room.
"Look, just quit the mind games and show yourself!" Gaea shouted.
"Fine," she heard from Aeron. And then his blade was pointed at her chest. "If you want me to fight, I will."
Gold began to fill his blade. "Ikazuchi Chikara!"
ZOW!
Gaea was shocked. She was immune to electricity, so she wasn't harmed. But the area behind her wasn't as lucky. It was totally decimated.
"Whoops," Aeron said. "Whatever was there, I hope it was important."
"That was rather rude," Hanna commented.
"Cipher's rude. What do you want me to do about it?" Aeron retorted.
Gaea finally got her mind to work again. "D…don't overestimate yourself!" She jumped at him and sent a bunch of tiny diamonds flying at him.
Aeron looked at it, bored. Then he raised his sword. "Nagareboshi!" he shouted, sending the white fireball at the diamonds, causing an explosion. (TOO CLICHÉ! DX)
A massive cloud of dust was kicked up. Gaea couldn't see a thing. Except for a green flash somewhere…Wait, what the heck is that?
"Shinsei Taiho!" she heard. The next moment, a massive green beam blasted her.
But then Aeron was on the other side. Blue was flashing around him now. "Uzumaki Kyouran!" A torrent of water smashed her even when Shinsei Taiho's beam hadn't even faded.
And then Aeron was right behind her, his hand glowing pale blue. "Hyoketsu Bakuha (Freeze Blast!)"
Aeron blasted a shining jet of pale blue energy, slamming into Gaea and everything about 5 meters behind her in a block of ice.
Crap! Gaea thought. This isn't good! Her energy blades came to life, and she sliced out. But then she saw Aeron's finger pointing at her…
"Shinsei Taiho," Aeron said calmly.
KA-BOOOOOM!
"What the heck was all that?" Toshiro wondered, hearing the explosion.
"I don't know," Izuru replied. "But Captain Hitsugaya, we should keep moving. They can't be very far behind us…"
"And if they're right in front of us?" Momo asked.
"Then we're surrounded, and I don't know what else," Izuru replied.
"We fight our way out, that's what," Uryu said.
"Um, guys?" Orihime called. "Why's this room filled with water?"
"What?" Uryu asked, walking over. Sure enough, this wasn't an ordinary lab. It had all the necessary equipment, but it was all on top of catwalks, and there was water filling the bottom of the room. And were those Water-type Pokémon there?
"I wonder what this is all about…" Chad muttered, walking into the room.
"Hey, guys, why's the door closing?" Volkner shouted.
"What? Who's closing it?" Toshiro shouted.
"Well, what have we here?" they suddenly heard. They turned around to see a girl in a lab coat. "Seems I've found Hitsugaya Toshiro."
"Wh-who are you?" Toshiro demanded, his hand going to his sword.
"I?" the girl asked coldly. She took off her lab coat, revealing a blue sleeveless shirt and matching skirt. "I'm Luna, a Cipher Administrator. Now might I ask why you're in my private wings?"
"We came here by accident," Izuru said. "There was a lock, but we busted it with Kido."
"I see," Luna said, holding up her lab coat and putting a hand in it. "Seems I should have designed my own quarters' security better."
Suddenly, the lab coat fell, revealing a katana with a blue tsuba, circular guard with a spiraling design, and a blue scabbard. "Then I'll take you on myself. Are you ready, Hitsugaya Toshiro?"
Toshiro watched as she drew the katana, which gleamed wickedly in the light. There's something not right here…
"What happens if we win?" Izuru asked.
"You won't," Luna said, leveling the sword at them. Suddenly, a raging torrent of water blasted from it, hurtling towards them.
"A water attack?" Uryu shouted. He suddenly remembered what would happen if it hit. "Ah…Orihime!"
"Santen Kesshun (Three Sacred Links Shield)!" Orihime shouted. A triangular shield manifested in front of them, and the water crashed against it harmlessly.
"The pressure from that attack…" Uryu said. "It can split solid rock! She can't be taken lightly!"
Luna suddenly appeared behind them. "You left your back unguarded!" she shouted, and lunged.
WHANG!
Toshiro's blade was drawn, and it was up against hers. "You attacked. I'm obligated to do something I probably wouldn't want to do normally."
They broke contact, and Toshiro took on a fighting stance. "Cipher Administrator Luna, because you attacked us first…I must retaliate."
Luna looked coldly at him. "Then come, Shinigami, to your doom."
Cipher Admin Luna would like to battle!
Toshiro charged at Luna and tried to slash her, but Lunna parried and stopped the blade. There was a bit of contact before Toshiro pushed harder against the blade. Luna saw her chance and ducked under it, and Hyorinmaru flew through space. Luna leveled her sword and lunged.
Crap! Toshiro thought. I left myself wide open!
WHANG!
Chad had blocked the attack with Brazo Derecha del Gigante. Then he brought his left arm back. "La Muerte (The Death)!" he shouted, punching.
KA-BOOOM!
A skull like crater appeared in the wall that Chad had punched towards. But Luna was nowhere to be seen…
"What? Where'd she go?" Chad shouted. He looked around, but she was nowhere.
"Behind you, fool."
A blast of water smashed Chad from behind, sending him crashing into the wall. Toshiro watched him. "No!" He pointed the sword at Luna. "Soten ni zase…Hyorinmaru (Sit upon the frozen heavens, Frozen Full Moon)!"
The dragon of ice raged towards Luna, shimmering with cold. Luna watched it come, then brought her sword up and slashed, smashing the dragon aside.
"Ha!" Toshiro shouted, appearing behind her and slashing. Luna whirled and smacked the blade away…with her scabberd?
Toshiro had no time to wonder why, because then Luna blasted water at him with her sword. He quickly froze it, only to see Luna smash through it and slice at him. But water shimmered around her blade, and Toshiro found it extremely hard to block.
"Having problems, Hitsugaya?" Luna asked. "It's about to get a lot worse."
"I'll show you worse!" Toshiro shouted, and he froze the water over and smashed through it, only to find her scabberd flying at his head.
Momo suddenly jumped up in front of him and blocked the attack with her own blade. "Hajike: Tobiume (Snap: Flying Plum Tree!)" she shouted. Her blade became a double-edged one, with three prongs sticking out at various locations on the blade.
"Oh, Tobiume," Luna said. "A fire type Zanpaku-to. Shame it's unfit for this situation." Water swirled around her blade as she spoke.
"It may be unfit for this situation, and I may only be a Lieutenant," Momo said bravely. "But…" Fire raced down the length of her blade, across the prongs, wreathing Tobiume in it. "…there's no reason not to try!"
Saying those words, she jumped at Luna and slashed. Luna parried and stabbed at Momo, but she dodged it and slashed at Luna. Luna ducked and kicked, sending Momo into the air. Torrents of water rushed into the air at the Lieutenant, bound to blast her from all angles.
"Hinamori!" Toshiro shouted. He jumped up, but he knew he was too late.
Momo watched the torrents come. Is there a way to get out of this? She looked around. Oh, I've got it… She began to spin around, generating flame in Tobiume. More and more flame poured out until a wheel of fire surrounded her, preventing even a droplet of water from getting through. The flames were so intense, the heat generated from them actually evaporated all the water. Soon, the torrents were gone.
"All right!" Orihime shouted.
But then the flame wheel ended, and Momo staggered. What-? Oh…I guess I used up too much energy…
Suddenly, Lunna was right next to her. "You're wide open, Hinamori Momo," she said, slashing.
Momo stared in shock as the blade came down. Suddenly, Izuru was in front, blocking the sword.
"You shouldn't attack people when they can't fight anymore," he said. "Omoto o agero, Wabisuke (Raise your head, the Wretched One)!"
"That's your honor," Luna replied, clashing. But she surrounded her sword with water, and Izuru realized his Shikai wouldn't work. "But I've had a different experience, so I play by different rules." Water gushed out of her sword, splashing Izuru and sending him falling.
"Too easy," Luna muttered. "It seems Lieutenants are weaker than expected. They didn't even use Gentei Kaijo."
"It seems I have to do it, then," Toshiro said, pointing his sword. "Ban-"
Luna suddenly appeared next to him and smashed her scabbard upward, sending Hyorinmaru skittering out of Toshiro's hands. "No!" Toshiro shouted as the sword fell into the water below.
Luna advanced, triumphant. Down below, Momo and Izuru were surrounded by a bunch of Gyarados.
"Koten Zanshun (Solitary Sacred Cutting Shield)! I reject!"
Luna turned in surprise. Something pierced through the walkway underneath her, and then an oval split it, sending her falling down to the bottom.
Toshiro had noticed it and jumped away to another catwalk. Quickly, Uryu appeared next to him. "You should keep a tighter grip on your sword," he said, handing the Captain his Zanpaku-to.
"You're right, I guess I was careless," Toshiro said. "Let's go!" He jumped down towards the bottom to continue the fight.
Down below, Izuru watched the Gyarados come. "Crap, I can't take them all on by myself…"
"Go, Electivire! Use Thunder Punch!" Volkner shouted, throwing the Pokéball. Electivire came out, surrounded his fist with lightning, and punched. Gyarados was sent flying across the room.
"El Directo!" Chad shouted, punching away another Gyarados. Blue energy blasted out of his arm, smashing Gyarados extra hard into his buddies.
Luna suddenly bore down on them. "Fine, I'll continue the fight here!" she shouted.
"Ginrei Kojaku (Silver Cliff, Lone Sparrow)!" Uryu shouted, forming his bow and blasting many arrows at Luna. She sent water flying up to block each one.
Uryu growled. "I can fire many arrows, but none of them can penetrate that barrier of water. I'll just have to-"
"Don't even try it," Luna said. She held up her sword. "Know this: My sword doesn't channel my energy like your Zanpaku-to do. Instead…" She pointed her sword at them, and a massive tidal wave swept up behind her, roaring towards them. "It amplifies it!"
"What?" Toshiro shouted.
SPLASH!
Gaea emerged from the blast. It had taken all her energy to survive it, and it definitely hadn't been easy. "Well, that stunk," she muttered.
"I'm surprised," Aeron said as the smoke cleared. "My Bankai powers my abilities and capacities up by 15. On top of that, Shinsei Taiho would obliterate anything in its path…and it certainly has done that to the space behind you. But you've survived it. For a human, you're quite resilient."
"That was through the Hogyoku (Crumbling Orb)," Gaea said. "I can guess what you're going to say. It was destroyed on the same day you died, right?"
"Exactly," Aeron said, a bit baffled himself. "Aizen was forced to cause it to self destruct to destroy his enemy."
"Yes, but there was another Hogyoku created," Gaea said. "Aizen created it in case something happened to the original. And now it's in the hands of our boss, Tabuu."
"Hm…" Aeron frowned. He had heard the name "Tabuu" before, yet couldn't remember where.
Suddenly, Gaea was jumping at him, sending a wave of earth racing at him. "You're open," she said.
"Dirty," Aeron replied. He pointed his finger. "Shinsei Taiho!" He blasted the green beam, but Gaea suddenly sprang off in another direction.
Gaea jumped at him and slashed with her blades. Aeron's blade glowed green. "Reppuzan!" he shouted, and he sliced at Gaea.
All of Gaea's energy blades shattered.
Aeron watched calmly. Gaea stared in shock.
"Now I can finish it." Aeron started to create a pale blue sphere. "Hama Hyoketsu!"
"It won't work! I'm gonna dodge it!" Gaea shouted. "And I can regenerate my energy blades…" She regenerated them on the spot.
"Right, right…understood," Aeron said. Suddenly, he jumped into the air and let go of the sphere.
"What?" Gaea shouted. "What're you trying to do?"
Aeron said nothing. He turned himself upside down in midair, and…stabbed the sphere with his sword.
KA-BOOOOM!
Ice exploded in every direction. Gaea was frozen in place by it all. "Ugh…" She began to struggle to break it, summoning her energy blades…
"Reppuzan!" Aeron shouted, and he suddenly shattered the ice, and all the blades. Then he turned and shot ice, freezing her again.
"What?" Gaea shouted. "He cut through the blades? And now I can't regenerate them…"
"Now you're wide open," Aeron said, his sword suddenly glowing white all over, and a rainbowy aura around him. "You put up a good fight, Gaea. I will show you some respect by using my ultimate move."
"Aeron's ultimate move?" Sam wondered. "What could that be?"
"He's already plenty strong," Ben said. "How could he be even stronger?"
"There is a side to Aeron you haven't seen," Hanna said. "While it can only be seen in the direst times, this is the closest he will get to achieving it."
"HaaaaAAAAAH!" Aeron shouted, the white energy now flaring out of his back like wings. The energy in his blade was now shining out harshly. He pointed the blade at Gaea, who stared in shock at what was coming.
"Sutāsutoraiku Burasuto (Starstrike Blast)!" Aeron shouted.
A massive blast of white fringed with rainbowy energy blasted from his sword. It smashed into Gaea, creating a blinding explosion.
When it was over, Gaea lay on the ground, badly injured and unconscious. And everything around them was totally eradicated.
"Whoaaaaaaa…" Ben said.
Aeron held up his sword, and it wreathed him in green light. And when it was over, his Bankai coat was gone, his scabberd was at his hip, and Tsubasa no Rai-oh was sealed. "Now we can go, right?" he asked.
"It really wasn't necessary to use your most powerful move, was it?" Hanna asked.
"I wanted to end it quickly," Aeron said. "But I guess I underestimated my own power."
"Are you saying you're this strong and you've been hiding it all this time?" Sam shouted.
"Yes, I am," Aeron said. "Now, how do we get out of here?"
"Ugh…" Gaea was beginning to regain consciousness.
"Should I heal her, Aeron?" Hanna asked. "We don't want death here."
"Yes, I think that should do," Aeron said. Hanna held her hand out over Gaea, and green light flashed out, covering Gaea. Her wounds slowly disappeared as the light washed over her.
"Wh-why are you healing me?" Gaea asked. "I'm your enemy, after all…"
"We don't allow people to die without doing something first," Hanna said. "Everyone has a right to live."
At that point, her wounds were totally gone. Gaea began to get up, but then Aeron suddenly held up his hand, gathering icy energy.
"Sorry," Aeron said. "We're allowing you to live, but we can't have other Cipher Peons coming to reinforce you. So I'll just freeze you here…"
"I see…" Gaea said. "That being said, I don't have much energy left. But…"
"Huh?" Aeron said.
"As a token of thanks for sparing me," Gaea said. She pointed. "There's a secret exit over there. You can get out that way."
"Hm…? Why are you telling us this?" Aeron asked. "Like you said, we're your enemy, after all."
Gaea looked at him. "You know, given what I've heard, you're really not such a bad guy."
"Well, thanks," Aeron said. "So, now can I freeze you?"
Gaea smiled. "I can't really stop you there, can I?"
"Not really, "Aeron admitted. "Alright, thanks again for the escape route. Hyoketsu Bakuha!"
Toshiro hit the ground hard. "Ugh…" He had fought his hardest-they all fought their hardest-and now the Cipher Admin was standing above them, having achieved nothing less than perfect victory.
"How could she have defeated us?" Chad asked. "Are we just not strong enough?"
"Quite right, Sado Yasutora," Luna said coldly. "And I've decided your fate now."
"Which is?" Toshiro said, expecting the worst.
"I will show you the difference between us," Luna told him. "And it'll be insult on top of injury. Because I have transcended the Shinigami. And I will demonstrate this by destroying you with your own creation."
She thrust her hand into the air, and a black and purple aura surrounded her. "Hitsugaya Toshiro, I will eradicate you with my Kido!"
"What? Kido?" Volkner shouted. "Impossible! Only Shinigami…and Ulquiorra Cifer…can use it!" No one noticed Luna twitch at the mention of Ulquiorra.
"Not really," Toshiro said grimly. "Anyone can do it. It's just a matter of concentration and refining of power." He began to sink to his knees…
Volkner looked at him, unable to believe what he was seeing. The prodigious captain of the 10th Company was admitting defeat. But I don't have my true power, either…we've definitely lost, haven't we? The Gym Leader didn't want to admit it, but he knew they'd lost as soon as he heard Luna beginning the chant.
"Seeping crest of turbidity…arrogant vessel of lunacy! Boil forth and deny…grow numb and flicker…disrupt the sleep!"
"Can't we do anything?" Uryu shouted.
"The spell she's using hits from all angles," Momo said. "You can't avoid it, either. It will always form around the target. And…it will eradicate anything inside it, regardless of how strong they are. You can only hope to break out, and that's nearly impossible."
"Does that mean…we'll die?" Orihime asked, worried.
Momo looked at her sadly. "Yes."
"Crawling queen of iron…eternally self destructing doll of mud! Unite…repulse! Fill the earth…and know your own powerlessness!" Luna shouted, purple energy now violently crackling around her.
"And with those words…" Izuru fell to the ground. "We've come all this way, only to fall to our own creation…"
"Hado no Kyuuju! Kurohitsugi! (Way of Destruction #90, Black Coffin!)" Luna shouted, sending a pulse of purple into the air.
Almost immediately, panels of black began to materialize in the air around our heroes, crosses preceding them and then filling with black as they multiplied. An eerie purple filled the air.
"We're trapped!" Chad shouted, watching the walls rise. "What can we do?"
"Nothing," Momo replied. "We barely have energy left, and this is one of the most powerful Kido ever…"
"A fully powered Kido that strikes from all angles without fail!" Luna shouted. "A coffin which eradicates all in it! Gravitation with the ability to bend even Space and Time themselves! This is the true power of the spell Kurohitsugi! You have lost, Hitsugaya Toshiro!"
Toshiro watched through the last place where the black hadn't filled. It's the end…
The black filled the last space. Purple energy coursed out violently. Black spears were lodged in the top, stabbing into the coffin.
Luna watched it, panting heavily. "Using Kido is very taxing on me…after all, I'm only a human. But now, I'll finish the incantation, and the Gotei Jusan (Thirteen Imperial Guard Companies) will be down by one captain!" She thrust out her hands, purple still around her. The coffin began to glow brighter…
A white projectile flew. The coffin suddenly shattered.
"What?" Luna stared at where the coffin stood, dumbfounded. That was one with an incantation! It shouldn't have been able to be broken! How did it happen? Indeed, the former captives of the coffin looked as thunderstruck as she did. That means they didn't know it was coming, either. What's going on?
"Well, well, the Captain of 10th Company, Hitsugaya Toshiro the prodigy, needs our assistance," a voice came.
"Go easy on him, Haku. He's young…compared to us, and hasn't reached his fullest potential yet."
"You're softening up, Hyoshiro. He may be related to you, but he's still a captain. He still should be at least a little stronger for a Captain."
"Oh, stop it. But I guess now…" At this point two teenagers, one in black with black hair and eyes and one in pale blue with silver hair and blue eyes, entered the room. "…we should take matters into our own hands."
Everyone noticed the Captain's Haoris on their backs.
"You," Toshiro said, getting up. "You're…Hitsugaya Hyoshiro, the first Captain of 10th Company ever!"
"Indeed I am, my descendant," Hyoshiro said, reaching to the sword on his back.
"And you are?" Luna asked warily. "Did Solo and Nightblazer ask for help?"
"They just called; we came," Haku said. He held out his left hand, revealing a black glove to his elbow with white lines running around the wrist, from elbow to split and go around the fingers, and still one around the thumb. "And Axel and Aeron are our friends. How could we ever say no?"
"Toshiro," Hyoshiro said, drawing his sword. "Rest for a bit. Haku and I will take it from here. And it may get messy."
"But…" Toshiro began, beginning to get up. He shouted and fell.
"Toshiro!" Momo shouted.
"See?" Haku said. "You're in no condition to fight. Now…" A black bow lined with silver spiraled into existence in his hand. "We will now commence round two! Prepare yourself, Cipher Admin!"
"Couldn't we think of a better ending…?" Kon wondered.
"You did absolutely nothing in this fight," Uryu noted.
Random Bonus Story…XD
Location: Outside the homes of Axel Nightblazer and Rinna Skywielder Wilcke
"WHERE'S THE NEW CHAPTER?" an angry person shouted.
"WHERE'S THE NEW CHAPTER?" "WHERE'S THE NEW CHAPTER?" "WHERE'S THE NEW CHAPTER?" "WHERE'S THE NEW CHAPTER?" "WHERE'S THE NEW CHAPTER?" "WHERE'S THE NEW CHAPTER?" his buddies chorused.
"So…um…heh heh…you must be Axel Nightblazer's and Ice Princess Rinna's most overdemanding fans…" Axel said, a bit terrified of the crowd gathered in front of his house. Especially because they had torches and pitchforks (WTF?).
"Uh…don't worry…" Rinna said, breaking into a cold sweat from a similar crowd on her front door. "I'm sure they're working very hard to make new material…uh, two chapters every month isn't too bad…right?"
"Uh, yeah, heh heh," Axel said, laughing nervously. "Two chapters every month…now how about that?"
"UPDATE!" one fan shouted.
"UPDATE!" "UPDATE!" "UPDATE!" "UPDATE!" "UPDATE!" "UPDATE!" His buddies chorused.
"WAAAAAAAAAH~" Axel and Rinna screamed as the crowds charged in.
"AERON!" Axel shouted, dodging someone throwing torches.
"SISCON!" Rinna shouted, running away from a bunch of dudes with pitchforks.
"IKE!" Aeron shouted, walking out of a door. "Want to play Bad Ax?" He held up an ax.
*insert record scratch here*
All the fans stared at Aeron. Then they ran away screaming.
"DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE!" Aeron and Ike shouted, running after them while chopping, veins throbbing on their temples.
Moral:
Don't ask authors for updates on their work, no matter how much you want the next chapter to come out.
They will generally respond not well to it.
(clicks teeth)
Ben: Hey Axel! (not aware of what just happened) When's the next chapter coming out?
WHAT'S 2 + 2?
Ben: Uh…fish?
*insert record scratch here*
Oh that is IT!
Shadows of the Demon
CANCELLED
Ben: WHAT? NO NO NO I MEAN IT'S FOUR! No, wait, is it fish? No, it's FOUR! YES! I'M SO SMART! HA HA!
…
Ben: Wait, Shadows of the Demon is canceled? NOOOOOOO-
*insert record scratch here*
You are an idiot! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
A-HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA! JUST KIDDING! I'd NEVER discontinue this story.
Yes, this is my worst fear ever: the fans asking for updates. It causes much irritation to people who are asked that question, and rushes them to complete chapters, which will make poor quality work. (I do a lot of rushing myself. And it's NOT a good idea.)
For those obnoxious people, I have a message for you. I WORK AT MY OWN PACE. SO DO NOT EXPECT ME TO FINISH SHADOWS OF THE DEMON IF I AM PRODUCING CHAPTERS A TON ONE MONTH, OR THINK I HAVE CANCELED A TALE OF SHINING STARS IF I DO NOTHING ANOTHER MONTH.
I felt it was necessary to assert this when my friend (identity concealed) asked me when the next chapter was coming out, and also how much work I was getting done on this chapter. I do not want to be asked these question, so don't ask me them. (glares evilly at friend)
If you have anything to ask me OTHER than when the next chapter is coming out, or where I am in the process of writing the next one, please review! I still want your feedback!
(Oh yes, and apologies to Ice Princess Rinna for making her OC look like a weakling in the Random Bonus Story.)
Ben: That joke wasn't funny…D:
