(A/N: So after that heart wrenching chapter time to start the next one. I've decided that I won't stop updating this story until I finish. I've come so far that I just can't stop now).

Ichigo's pov

Lloyd and I rushed down the hall and into the next room Yggdrasil and Pronyma were in there with Colette hooked up to a weird machine.

"Let Colette go!" Lloyd shouted.

"If you don't we'll make you!" I brandished my sword.

"How did you two get in here? The lock to this room can only be opened by a member of the Cruxis high order!" Mithos shouted at us.

"Well maybe you should've checked the entrance better, seems like a certain auburn haired angel stuck his sword in it," I smirked.

Mithos scowled, "You little!" He made to attack me and I made to defend but he was suddenly struck with a fireball. Both of us looked up in the direction the attack came from.

"We won't let you lay a finger on them!" It was Genis shouting. He and the others, they were all ok…well save for Rangiku, she was still absent from the group.

"Guys! You're ok!" I was really happy to see them.

"I told you I wouldn't miss the main event!" Sheena declared.

"You did not wish to share the same pain I do correct?" Regal asked.

"I'm not about to miss fighting with the big bad. I've been looking forward to a rematch," Kenpachi smirked.

"I can't possibly miss seeing the new world that's about to be made," Raine told us.

"I may not be a hero, but I'm a damn good comrade," Renji grinned.

"We are the sheep you are our shepard," Nel said with a hand resting on her sword, "We will follow you anywhere, even to the depths of hell and back."

"I can still fight. As long as I can fight, I will stay by your side," Presea vocalized.

"You were so worried," Toshiro chuckled, "And none of us are the least bit harmed." Everyone came down from the level they were all standing on and came down to us. Sheena leapt towards me and I grabbed her, spun her around and placed her down next to me.

Genis laughed, "Pretty good huh?" he asked.

Mithos sighed, "How tedious and boringly sentimental." He looked at Pronyma, "Pronyma kill them for me would you. It's your fault they're still alive."

"Yes sir!" Pronyma drew out her weapon.

"You think you can take us all on by yourself?" I asked.

"Who said anything about fighting you myself," Pronyma held out some kind of marble in front of her that glinted with an eerie glow.

"Wh-what is that?" I asked.

"A demon marble," she said and dropped it into the ground. It slunk into the ground and suddenly creatures began to rise up from out of it. One was a reddish, demonic looking Komodo dragon with a helmet-like protrusion in the shape of a hammerhead shark's head. "Fafnir the demon of fire!" A creature that looked like a dire wolf crossed with a hyena rose from the ground. It had two demonic horns along its forehead and was blue and white in color. "Bolt the Soul Eater!" A completely black, shadowy griffin rose out from the ground. "Disaster the Shadow Griffin!" A dragon, with its body low to the ground, colored orange and black and yellow rose up from the ground. "Regerik, the faithful guardian of Nifilheim!" Following the dragon a skeleton warrior rose up from the ground carrying two swords. One was red, the other violet. Both swords had eyes and tongues…and teeth. "Nebilim, the skeleton dual swordsman!" A large ogre rose up from the ground. It had so much muscularity even Kenpachi seemed like a wimp next to it. Its skin was dark blue and it was carrying a large black hammer that had a smile plastered onto it. "Diablos the ogre!" Another creature with a long cape covering its body rose up. I recognized it as a nosferatu, a vampire. "Drachma the Heart of Chaos!" A zombie, dressed in a clownish outfit, carrying a scythe, rose up from the ground. The Scythe had a large, red eye, that moved, where the handle and scythe blade met. "Carapus, the overseer!" Lastly a green lion with piercing red eyes, two tentacles growing out of its back, two tails, overly large fangs, and a rhino horn rose from the ground, "Apocalypse the Cthulion! Ye nine creatures of the underworld, unleash thine power upon my mortal enemies!"

"Boy she even up the odds awfully fast," Renji commented.

"Shut up and pick an enemy!" I shouted. Lloyd and I went after Pronyma. Renji went after Fafnir. Toshiro took on Bolt. Genis selected Disaster as his opponent. Sheena fought Regerik. Presea engaged Nebilim. Kenpachi and Yachiru teamed up on Diablos. Raine battled Carapus. Regal battled it out with Apocalypse.

"Dark Sphere!" Pronyma attacked me.

"Getsuga Tensho!" I attacked her, but she dodged.

Lloyd came up behind her, "Beast Tiger Blade!" He got Pronyma with his attack right in the back, sending her spiraling forward. I got up towards her and attacked. She blocked with her mace.

"Bloody Lance," she spoke calmly. I barely had time to react as several lances of dark energy blast through my upper arms and lower legs.

"Ichigo!" Lloyd shouted.

Pronyma cackled, "Ahahahaha! Did you really think you could defeat me boy? You're out of your league!"

I smirked, "Why does everyone opponent I face always underestimate me? Is it a conspiracy of fate or something?"

"What are you babbling about?" she asked.

"This!" I said and equipped Shadow's ring. Pronyma looked frightened at my level of power. "You're time is up," I said calmly. I flashed forward in the blink of an eye. I turned on a dime and hacked again, repeating the process several times over. I came at her from her left, turned did a 180 back flip and turn and slammed by sword down to the ground right in front of her erupting a pillar of Getsuga beneath her. I leapt into the air and created a giant black blade of Getsuga, "Yaban Getsuga," I swung the blade down, "Herusodo!" I lowered to the ground and removed the ring and pocketed it. Pronyma lay on the ground, bleeding, burned and beaten. All of her little pet monsters vanished and reformed into the demon marble, which rolled along the ground cracked and broke. Pronyma crawled over to Mithos, leaving a blood trail.

"Lord Yggdrasill…it hurts…Please…help me…" she wheezed, reaching out to him.

Mithos ignored her and cackled, "I've succeeded! Martel is awake!"

What? No!

Pronyma continued to crawl along the ground, "Lord Yggdrasill…Mithos…please…"

Mithos turned towards Pronyma, but his look was not one of compassion for his own companion. He knelt down next to her. "Only my former companions can call me by that name! Get out of my sight!" He blasted her with a magic attack and she went flying into the wall. Her had tilted to the side. Mithos killed his own companion.

"You bastard! What the hell?" I shouted.

He ignored me, "Dear sister…you've finally come back to me!"

No! It can't be!

Colette was released from the machine and walked down towards Mithos. Her voice was not her own, "Mithos…what have you done?" she asked.

"Martel? Oh, you mean my body. I hastened my growth to have an appearance befitting the leader of Cruxis. Wait just a moment. I'll switch back to my old form," Mithos switched back to the child form he had appeared before us in.

"No not that," his sister answered, "I've been watching all this time. Unable to move, unable to do anything, I watched all those foolish things you've done. Have you forgotten everything? We stopped the Ancient War because we dreamt of a world where humans, elves, and those in between could live in harmony."

"What are you saying? This after all the trouble I went to prepare a new body for you? But I see…you don't like that one, do you?" The poor fool was completely missing the point of what his sister was trying to tell him.

"Mithos, please listen to me. What you have done…is wrong. It is not what we strived for," Martel told him.

"Wrong? Are you rejecting me?" he seemed heartbroken, but I really didn't care how he felt after everything he did.

"No, I want you to remember. Please stop this and become your old self again," Martel told him. Mithos wouldn't hear it. He completely flipped out and broke down. "Martel would never betray me! I won't allow that do you hear me!" his power caused the whole room to shake. Suddenly Kratos appeared and made to attack Mithos. The young half-elf dodged. "Kratos! You would betray me again?"

"I do not mean to betray you," Kratos said, "I am full of regret. Regret that I could not stop you!" he stated. "Orihime! Now!"

Inoue?

She came into the room flew in front of Colette and placed Colette's key crest back on her Cruxis Crystal.

"What do you know looks like we made it just in time?"

That voice it can't be! I looked over to where Kratos and the others had been entering. Standing on the ledge was Zelos. Rangiku was next to him.

"Zelos!" I shouted.

"Yo, Ichigo. What's up?"

"H-how, Ichigo killed him!" Lloyd declared.

"Orihime I should've never trusted you," Mithos said bitterly to her. "I should've never given you power to amplify your abilities by turning your exsphere into a Cruxis Crystal!"

"Mithos-san while I do feel bad for you, I cannot acknowledge what you have done. My friends are more important to me than anything. Kratos-san was the one who told me to become an angel of Cruxis, so that I could be of more help to them," she explained.

"Right I see," Mithos was at his wits end, "You used your Fate Rejection to help everyone and Kratos helped you. How many times will you get in my way?" he shouted at Kratos. Zelos blocked the attack for him. "You! What are you doing helping the others? I thought you wanted me to set you free from your fate as a chosen!"

"Oh you know what? I changed my mind," Zelos said, "That won't matter after we beat the snot out of you anyway!"

"But they don't even trust you!" Mithos shouted.

"That made everything all the more convincing, right Lady Rangiku?" he looked up at her.

"You were in on this?" I asked her.

She laughed, "You don't get as close as I have to your man without knowing everything about him. Zelos, Orihime, Kratos and I planned that whole thing out. What'd you think? I was a pretty good actor wasn't I?"

"So wait did you really die?" I asked Zelos.

"Yea, and that wasn't a pleasant experience," he said, "Luckily little Lady Orihime can revive the dead by rejecting fate so I was prepared to go the full distance if need be."

Sheena punched him in the arm, but she didn't do so hard. It was more like a friendship tap, "You're really annoying you know that?"

"I sure do," he said.

"Colette!" I looked over to see Lloyd holding her. "Colette, wake up! Speak to me!"

Colette's eyes shot open and she stood up. She spoke with her own voice, "Everyone, we have to stop Mithos! Martel is calling to me! Martel wants us to stop him!"

"Shut up! Martel would never say something like that. You…miserable failure!" Mithos said coldly.

Colette's eyes were fierce with righteousness, "She did say it. She said 'Please don't make everyone suffer any longer!'"

"Well then, let's just kick this guy's ass!" I shouted.

"You guys all take a breather," Zelos said, "Let the angel crusade handle this."

"There's not a chance in hell, I'm gonna let you Kratos, Inoue and Rangiku handle this by yourselves," I said.

"Me either," Lloyd stated.

"I'm going to fight with you all!" Colette declared.

"I won't let you stop me!" Mithos shouted and returned to his aged up form, "I will kill you all!" The time had come it was time to fight Mithos. The final battle had arrived. "Why can you not accept the ideal world that I have envisioned?"

"How can your world be ideal when you've killed countless innocent people?" Lloyd asked.

"Human! Don't tell me what's right and wrong!" Mithos scowled. He charged bright blue energy in his hand. "Outburst!" We scattered and moved out in different directions.

"Ray thrust!" Colette spun and sent a disc of energy at Mithos. He blocked and then fired a Photon blast at Zelos who was sneaking up on his right. Zelos it seemed had gotten a new sword and shield since I fought him. His shield was star shaped and the sword he had was long and blue, made of mythrill and diamond ore with emeralds embedded along the blade. It also had a golden hilt. Zelos blocked the hit with his shield. The distraction gave Kratos the opening he had been looking for it seemed when he attacked Mithos with air thrust. Rangiku's ash combined with Kratos' attack. Mithos, after a few seconds flung both attacks off.

"A waste of effort," he scoffed. Powerful energy gathered with in him, "Death Eater!" Mutiple, bright blue ray blasts went blazing all over the place. In my tired state it was hard to dodge everything.

"Koten Zanshun I reject!" Inoue shouted. She sliced Mithos right in the arm.

"Demonic Tiger Blade!" Lloyd shouted sending out multiple shockwaves at Mithos. He blocked with an energy field, but then I found an opening and attacked with Getsuga. Mithos was sent flying.

Mithos got up as if everything were natural, "Is that all you've got?" he asked. "How pathetic. You seem to fail to grasp true power. None of your attacks can truly injure me. Allow me to show you what a truly powerful attack is like." He projected a barrier onto himself, "Infinite powers of the earth, grant me your noble blessing." He rose into the air and held his hand to the sky. Multiple portals opened in the air, red in color, "Meteor Storm!" Large blazing, great balls of fire came hurtling down towards us and exploded when they hit the ground. We were completely wrecking this facility with all our fighting. That attack though was so powerful it really did a real number on those who didn't manage to dodge. In other words: Zelos and Rangiku. Colette and Inoue weren't too badly damaged, but Lloyd had her take a step to the side just the same. It was now Mithos against Lloyd, Kratos and me. "Did you feel my power you wretched maggots?" Mithos chuckled.

"Mithos, you've always been so concerned with power you lose sight of the little things in life," Kratos lectured.

"Sensei I do believe you've drilled that lesson into my head long ago. There isn't a thing that doesn't escape my field of vision anymore," Mithos stated.

"Oh no?" Kratos asked with a sly smirk. I then noticed a powerful surge of mana rising immensely from someone. It wasn't coming from me. It wasn't coming from Lloyd. It wasn't coming from Kratos either. I looked over to our group. It was coming from…Genis!

"This aura…it can't be!" Mithos was sure spooked about something.

Everyone gave Genis space, "Mithos," he said, "I'm sorry. I really did want to be your friend."

"G-genis," Mithos was sweating.

"You said that you have the most power in your hands. You're wrong. You're about to see the power of a true genius kid magician," Genis worked his Kendama in three very precise movements. A large magic circle formed around the entire battlefield.

"Genis!" Lloyd shouted.

"Don't worry, I'm not in any danger," he said, "but Mithos is."

"I-I can't move," Mithos was paralyzed. I looked up as a portal opened in the air above him and several bolts of lightning rained down from the sky. Following that was a giant glistening sword.

"Thanks for everything Mithos," Genis said, "I'm sorry it had to turn out this way. Indignation Judgment." The giant sword fully broke from the portal and slammed down right into Mithos shocking him with intense force. Mithos hit the ground in severe pain, no wounds were visible, but his power was all, but gone.

He stood up and clutched his aching body, "How…I cannot lose…I'm going home…I'm going home with my sister…" he vanished and his presence vanished from the area.

"It's over," Lloyd said.

"No it isn't," Kratos said, "The worlds are still split. The Giant Tree has still not yet germinated. You must release Origin."

"I…I know," Lloyd said.

"I'll be waiting for you before the seal," Kratos said and left. Things started to calm down from there.

"Is everyone ok?" I asked.

"Yes thanks to Orihime, Kratos, Zelos and Rangiku. They arrived and helped us out of those hopeless situations we were in," Raine answered.

"And you, you're on our side now right?" I asked Zelos.

"Of course," he said, "Here I'll prove it," he chucked something at Lloyd, who caught the object, "Refine that with dwarven arts and it'll let even a human wield the Eternal Sword."

"Are you saying you worked out this whole mad scheme just to get that?" I asked Zelos.

"Well not really, I told you before didn't I, I side with the strongest. It's a simple matter of weighing out the Cruxis, the Renegades and you guys," he said.

"Guess that makes us the strongest then, good to know," I said, "I looked at Inoue. You're coming with us now right?"

She nodded. "I just want to go home."

I smiled, "Well let's go," I said. I moved from my spot. Inoue gasped. "Inoue what's wrong?"

"Pronyma-san!" she ran to Pronyma's side and knelt down next to her body. I sighed and walked over to her. "Kurosaki-kun…you didn't…"

I shook my head and said, "Lloyd and I only defeated her. The person who deal the final blow was Mithos."

"Mithos-san," Inoue swallowed. She held up her hands.

"W-wait a minute Inoue…Pronyma is…"

"Soten Kisshun, I reject."

"Inoue!" I couldn't believe she was planning to revive someone who just tried to kill us. I watched as Pronyma's wounds began to close up and the color in her skin began to restore itself.

Pronyma's eyes opened slightly and then fully, "I'm…alive?"

"Pronyma-san," Orihime de-cast the Soten Kisshun, "Thank goodness," she smiled with a hand placed over her chest.

"Lady Ori…no…Orihime you…saved me?"

Inoue put her hands on her knees, "I know I turned against you all, but in the end Pronyma-san it was you who gave me the motivation to be strong. And so I couldn't just…I couldn't just let you die. You're my friend Pronyma-san."

"Friend?" Pronyma asked and then smiled. She reached her hand out and put it on Inoue's right hand, "You're such a foolish girl Orihime. Foolish and naïve."

"I know," Orihime giggled, "but…"

Pronyma stopped her and got up. "Wh-where is Lord Yggdrasil?"

"Pronyma-san…that is…we all…" Orihime couldn't get out a coherent sentence.

Pronyma sighed, "I see."

"What are you going to do now that he's gone?" I asked Pronyma.

"I don't know. Lord…Mithos was the one who got me on my feet…made me strong. I don't know what I should do," Pronyma looked depressed.

"If you have nothing else help us set things right," Lloyd told her. Pronyma laughed, but not a maniacal laugh or a mocking laugh, the laugh someone would use as if laughing at a joke. "What's so funny?" Lloyd felt offended.

"Heh," Pronyma wiped her eye, "Like father like son hmm," she thought over Lloyd's proposal momentarily, "Very well, but only as a service to Orihime. Although Cruxis may be disbanded with Mithos gone I still will treat her as my superior in rank."

"Pronyma-san," Inoue smiled.

Pronyma bathed herself in a glow and I could feel her power rise to its normal level, "Mithos really did want to save the world in his own way. If he is no longer around I will continue his dream with the only path there is left."

"Great glad to have you aboard," Lloyd said. Pronyma smiled.

Pronyma has joined the party

We exited the Tower of Salvation. When we reached the bottom Byakuya and Soifon were waiting for us.

"Is she a prisoner?" Byakuya asked.

"She's on our side now," I said.

"Well isn't this an example of capture the bandits by capturing the leader," Soifon chuckled.

"Did you two find anything of use?" Toshiro asked them.

"Yes," Byakuya said, "I did as you asked and spoke with Ukitake…

Earlier

Meltokio

Byakuya's pov

I entered the Royal Library to see Ukitake. Sentaro and Kiyone alerted him to my presence and the two of us sat down at a table sipping freshly brewed Meltokio tea.

"What's this all about Captain Kuchiki?" he asked me.

"Do you know of a myth in this world called the Tale of the Four Samurai?" I asked him.

"Not particularly," he said.

"I see," I said. Perhaps this was a waste of time.

"If you remember it, could you share it with me? I don't find many myths in a library filled with facts," he requested.

"Very well," I took a sip and put the cup down. I told the myth to Ukitake just as I had heard it from the storyteller.

"Captain Kuchiki that story…it feels somewhat nostalgic," he said.

"Then this may come as no surprise. Kurosaki Ichigo spoke with the Renegade leader Yuan and he named you as the Spirit of Reversal as depicted in the tale," I said.

"Me?" he cupped his fingers to his chin and seemed deep in thought.

"Captain Kyoraku also acted like he knew something about this myth," I said, "Captain Ukitake, what can you tell me about this world?"

"You said this happened four thousand years ago correct?" he asked. I nodded. "I can't say for sure, but what if this world is actually real?"

"Preposterous," I scoffed.

"Let me explain," he held up a hand. I let him talk, "The thing is I remember fighting in a war some time long ago alongside Kyoraku, Unohana and Yamamoto. Unfortunately I cannot remember my surroundings in the least, but the tale seems to capture our essence quite well and if a former soldier of the Palmacosta army was able to identify me by name then…"

"Isn't it possible that this may be just another aspect of the game added in by Urahara, how else would you explain the holograms and his ability to talk to Kurosaki Ichigo?"

"You do have a point," Ukitake said. He stood up, "Allow me to look into this myself when we return to Soul Society. If it's true that this world is real and that we fought in a war here four millennia ago there should still be records in one of the four squads."

"I see, thank you for your time."

Present

Ichigo's pov

"Captain Kuchiki wasn't the only thing to find something out," Soifon said, "I went to Palmacosta and asked to look through the archives, what little there was left due to the giant tree's rampage. Speaking of which reconstruction seems to be coming along nicely. I didn't find much as it seemed most of the records pertaining to the Four Samurai had been damaged over the course of time and from the giant tree's destruction. Also a lot of it was in the angelic language of which I couldn't decipher, but I came across one word that was as clear as day: Zanpakuto."

"You think maybe it's possible this world actually exists?" I asked.

"Who can say?" Byakuya stated.

"But if this world really exists then that means everything we're doing has meaning!" Sheena cried out.

Pronyma stepped forward, "Excuse me," she spoke to Byakuya, "you said that someone sent a hologram to speak to you."

"That's correct," Byakuya told her.

"How many times?" she asked.

"What?"

"Just answer the question," she urged.

"Twice," Byakuya responded.

"I see," Pronyma seemed deep in thought.

"What is it Pronyma-san?" Inoue asked her.

"This is just speculation, but ever since you all came here the Derris-Kharlan core system was hacked into twice and an electronic pulse was sent through down to the ground. What if these holograms didn't go through whatever virtual machine that sent you here…"

"But were actually spiritual impulses using the Derris-Kharlan core system as a channeling station," Renji finished.

"Exaclty," Pronyma acknowledged. Byakuya chuckled.

"And just what is so funny?" I asked him.

"Nothing it's just I find it amusing how you all are trying to make this world seem real," he said, "pay me no mind."

"Well anyway what should we do now?" Lloyd asked.

"What else?" Zelos asked rhetorically, "We need to go to Heimdall and stick it to your old man. That's what we gotta do."

"The chosen is right. Origin is under Kratos' seal after all. It will be impossible to reunite the worlds without Origin's power," Pronyma acknowledged.

"First we should gather everyone up that's waiting for us at Altessa's place," Raine informed. "If this is going to be the last stop, the less trips we have to make the better."

"Yeah," I agreed.

"But what about Hisagi? He's still in Sylvarant and completely clueless about all this!" Rangiku exclaimed.

"I'll contact Yuan and have the Renegades gather everyone up," Nel said.

"What'll be the rendezvous point? We don't need someone like Hanataro getting involved in a fight," I said.

"How about the otherworldly gate?" Toshiro suggested.

"Why there?" Genis asked.

"I get the feeling that if we're going to get home that will be our way out," he said.

"Did you get all that?" Nel seemed to have been on communication with Yuan while we were speaking. "Yuan's on the job," she said.

"Well then," I said, "Let's get everyone from Altessa's place and head off to Heimdall."

Altessa's House

We got back to Altessa's place and everyone came rushing outside to greet us. Orihime gave a big hug to Rukia when she saw her. Momo gave an equally large hug to Toshiro.

"I don't think it needs to be stated outright, but what is she doing here?" Ishida pointed to Pronyma.

"Pronyma's on our side now," Lloyd said.

"Are you sure that's a good idea? Pronyma was the leader of the Desians," Kira said, "Can we really trust someone like that?"

"I understand that after what I've done I can't expect you to just allow me to watch your backs, but observe me young Soul Reaper, watch my back and determine whether or not I am indeed deserving of your trust," Pronyma answered.

"That's quite a speech," Raine told her. Pronyma grunted.

"Is it true?" a voice came from inside the house as the door opened, "Have you all defeated Mithos?"

"Komamura-san," I was surprised he was up and about.

"Captain Komamura you should stay in bed you're far too injured to…"

"Don't mind me, Kira" he said, "I'm perfectly fine, at least fine enough to travel with you all. If Mithos is defeated then there should be no more fighting to have to worry about."

"Sajin!" We all heard Virginia come out of the house.

"Ah Ms. Sage, are you worried about me?" he asked.

"You were asked by the Doctor not to push yourself. Get back to bed this instant!" she said to him.

"I am perfectly capable of walking on my own two feet," Sajin assured her.

"Mother is everything all right?" Raine asked her.

"I'm perfectly fine Raine. Nothing's happened here since you left, not a single angel attack," Virginia answered.

"That's good," Raine smiled.

"Well now that the group's back together let's head for Heimdall," I said. Everyone nodded in agreement and we made for the village of the elves once again.

Heimdall

Just like last time Raine and Genis were allowed to enter the village with a little bit of persuasion.

"All right let's head straight for the seal!" Lloyd declared.

"Wait! Lloyd!" Colette called out.

"Hmm," Lloyd turned towards her.

"You're about to fight your father remember, you should rest first," she told him.

"I-I know but…" he said.

"The fate of the world rests on this battle Lloyd-kun," Inoue said, "You shouldn't be so hasty to face Kratos-san. You should fight him while you're at full strength."

"I-I know…you're right," he surrendered.

I stretched. "Well then, let's get some rest. We might as well seeing as this will be the last thing we do. We should take this time to tie up any of our loose ends we have. We'll be saying goodbye to each other tomorrow after all."

"Ichigo's right," Raine said, "There's still half a day left we should spend it wisely." Everyone seemed to be in agreement of this. We scattered about. I looked at Lloyd as he walked outside my field of vision.

Tomorrow this all comes to an end I said. Lloyd will defeat Kratos, we'll reunite the worlds, I'll defeat my inner hollow, and then it's back to Soul Society. I looked over to Sheena. This may be our last night together. I thought. Sheena…

To be continued…

(A/N: Sorry if I don't cut things here it'll get out of hand. Chapter 37 is going to be incredibly sappy and fluffy and lead up to the climactic battle with Kratos at the end. This chapter, I hope, was definitely a good morale booster for those of you who got exceedingly depressed from the last one. Well enjoy the good feeling and get ready for the next chapter. Things are slowly dwindling to a close. As a certain red hat wearing, mustached plumber would say: See you next time!)
