Chrono Cross: The Online Novelization: Chapter 6
Disclaimer: Once again, Squaresoft owns all of this crap. I'm just providing entertainment. Told in Kid's point of view again, so as again, some cursing.
The light washed over us. We were temporaraly blinded. I felt for my dagger, and realized they didn't see us. I let out a sigh of relief.
"It must be the new mellenium..." I said. Serge looked puzzled.
"Never mind," I said quickly. I looked at the light.
"Figures..." I muttered.
"What?" Serge asked.
"There's no one manning the light. It's going on its own. The guards are so damn lazy..." I sighed. I looked around. Pierre was starin' at another light. I bumped by chest into Serge's back.
Serge turned around. "You OK?" he asked. I felt flushed.
"Yeah, I just stumbled," How cold I stumble when I standing still?????
Serge smiled. "Lets get away from the light..." Pierre nodded and we went to a nearby bush.
I watched the light go behind us. It was coming back around and I pointed to the light and we ran for it. We got to the main enterance and two guards leaped out. I had had enough of battling. I grabbed the one guard's arm and pulled out my knife as fast as I could and pressed it to his throat. The other one backed away.
"I want you to follow us," I hissed at the other guard. The guard nodded; looking pale. I led them to a cliff and kicked the non-held guard in the ocean. I let go of the other and nudged him with the knife's butt. He fell in. Serge came up to me.
"Nice trick," he whispered. We went inside the mansion.
I looked around. This was incredible! I was never exactly poor, but I never had as much money as I needed. The walls were marble. There was a statue of a snake made of pure gold. I beckoned Kid and Pierre to the statue. I examined it and found it could be turned. I turned it once to the left, and once back to the right. Then the floor opened up and we fell through.
I landed on my feet, but it hurt. I staggered and helped Kid up. Then I noticed 3 guards. They advanced on us menacingly. Kid glared at them.
"Look what we have here..." one guard snorted.
"A couple of stupid kids," another growled.
"Who's this?" the other said staring pointedly at Pierre. "Their babysitter?" All three of them laughed.
"Say that again," Kid growled.
"Oh! Miss Tough Girl! We're scared!" a guard mock-shielded himself then broke into fits of laughter.
"I bet if we were outta here, you would be, chump!" Kid raised her fists. The guard dropped his arms and gave Kid a look of pure venom.
"Fine," he said icily. He unlocked the cage and withdrew his sword. The other guards followed suit. I pulled out my swallow, and Kid took out her dagger. We stepped out of the cage and Pierre witdrew his sword with force and knocked a guard out with the butt of it.
The two others roared and charged Pierre. I called up ElectroBolt and fried him. Kid ran forward and struck repeatedly. The last guard fell.
"Let us take ze clothes to deezguize ourzevlez," Pierre suggested. I picked up a helmet and placed it on my head. Then slowly, as if it ad bombs strapped to it, Kid picked up a boot and slipped it on. Pierre was admiring the sword. Soon we were fully dressed. We started toward the right door and were immediately flanked by guards.
"Password?" one said. I was relieved. I remembered I was in disguise.
"Er-" I began.
"Correct. The password is silence," the guard declared. We walked into the room.
I gasped. Treasures and jewels of all kinds stood next to me. I went to a treasure box and sqautted down to open it. Arms and les popped out and it attacked.
It turned out there were two to choose from. Kid whispered to me,
"I've heard of these, if you attack one, it either gives you the treasure or attacks back. I also heard that if the big one attacks you first when you open it, you should attack the little one for the treasure, the same vice versa."
"I can't remember was it a big treasure that grew arms and legs?" I asked.
Kid shook her head. "Dunno," she answered.
I decided to take a lucky shot. I ran for the little one and brought down my sword in a critical blow. The box got up, staggered a bit, and walked to me. Oh no! I thought. I picked the wrong one! The treasure balled up his fist, reached back, and hit ------- THE SIDE OF ITSELF. The chest opened and an arm reached in and tookout a bag and handed it to me. Then the other chest disappeared and the little one was left in its place. I opened up the bag. Inside there was a green stone.
"Kid! What's this?" I asked her. She glanced at it casually.
"AeroSaucer," she replied. At the puzzled look on me face she added, "Green element, pretty good against Yellow Tributes. We may find many here in the manor."
She was staring at some items on display in the back. I glanced at the stone -- I'd allocate it later -- and hurried over. I picked up a shield. Immediately it was whisked away by Pierre.
"Ze Hero's Shield!" he exclaimed. "It is perfect. Now all I need is ze Hero's sword and I shall become eenveenceeble!" I picked up a Power Seal and discovered it was a magic item. Then I picked up a Dreamer's Scarf. Kid took it and draped it across her shoulders.
"Don't I look beautiful, Serge?" she asked. It was hard to take my eyes off her. Finally I pulled them away and she discovered a medallion on the wall. She ran towards it and I followed. She was cut off by Pierre.
"Eet could be guarded by an alarm, you know," he said annoyingly.
"So could the shield," Kid shot back. I reached behind Pierre and gingerly took the medallion to examine it. The wall opened up and we were rammed into it. It was a trap!
"I am glad you decided to drop in," said a misty, fairy-like voice. I opened my eyes and saw a woman with bright curly purple hair and think, red, square spectacles in an outfit like she was going on a safari standing behind a lab table with a big white sheet over a large bump, resting on its surface. The bump quivered.
"I told you," Pierre said crossly.
"I can see you are not real guards. Remove your clothing!" the woman said triumphantly. Kid gave me a quizzical look.
"I mean your disquises!" she said irriatably. Slowly, cautiously, we removed the guards armor and helmets. We dropped the swords to the floor. The woman slowly began walking towards the cage that held us when she was stopped by a horrible screeching sound.
"PIP! THIS IS NOT THE TIME!" the woman screamed. The bump on the table shook more voilently. The woman went to a small cage where a cute, yellowy-white creature stood. The woman rattled the cage and the creature whimpered. The woman then walked towards us. She opened the cage and we walked out.
"Er- thanks?" Kid began. To our surprise, the woman laughed.
"I am not saving you," she said icily. She was grinning so evilly i was wondering why hell had not opened up and called to its new master. "I shall kill you now with my greatest invention: The Giant Bulb!" The bump shook violently and didn't stop, the sheet fell off and Kid gave a small scream.
It was a Bulb, a usually harmless plant creature, but HUGE. ITs usually toothless mouth now held hundreds of jagged, sharp teeth. Its usually small arms and legs now extended and ended with 3 large claws easy enough to kill the Giant Komodo. I withdrew my swallow, shaking. Kid pulled out her dagger. Pierre held his sword high.
I leaped. Not to cut it, but I pulled out a Power Seal and instantly my Magic Defense rose. The creature extended an arm and I brought down my swallow hard and cut its head off. Kid cheered. Then I saw it. A small, pinprick of the bulb on its head, it grew. Then the head was back. I stopped. It was damaged though. That was good. Kid leaped at it and attacked with everything she had. She would've kept going if the Bulb hadn't knocked her aside. I ran and kenlt by her. I looked just in time to se Pierre dueling with the thing's arm, which had become an unbreakable stick. I pulled Kid to her feet and called up ElectroBolt. The thing was fried, but it didn't back down. I was amazed.
"Pierre! What's this thing's Attribute?" Pierre looked at me and I understood. Green. The Bulb used a magic attack and sent Kid in the air in a spiral. She came down hard. I used a Cure on her. The bulb then sent all three of us into the air at the same time. Pierre called up RecoverAll and healed us. Kid ran at it with her dagger. I charged with my swallow. Pierre leaped with his sword and wwe all brought down our weapons and the same time. The Giant Bulb fell. I didn't hear the woman's piercing scream of agony. I only heard my shouting taht we were still alive, and well. The woman looked at us and said,
"My name is Janet. Please leave my Bulb alove!" She stood there for a minute, and then we wandered the room. I talked to Pip.
"Hewwo," he said in a cute voice. "My name is Pip. One day I wanna twavel da oceans. Could you open dis cage fow me?" I opened it and Pip stayed put, to my surprise. "I won't get out now, I wait." I understood and left the room.
We still had the armor and disguise on, we redressed after the battle. We went inside a cafeteria and talked to a boy with sandy hair.
"You fell down? You forgot the password? I better write it down. Follow me," he said. We walked and got to a room and he wrote it on the wall:
This weeks password:
8 to the right
1 to the left
He turned to us.
"Don't fall again! That trap is murder to set back up!"
We found the statue of the snake quick enough, and turned it 8 to the right, and 1 to the left. We heard a loud click and we were able to open the door just beyond the statue. We ran up the stairs and saw more guards. Kid pointed to the left, and we ran out of there.
We found ourselves out on a bridge. The two moons looked so beautiful. I just wanted to sit there with Kid for the rest of the night... No, i told myself. We have to keep moving. I have to know why those people were after me. We found a door at the end of the bridge and went inside. There we were greeted by an old man.
"Ah Serge, I have finally found you," he said in a soft voice. I was so shocked I dropped my sword with a loud CLANG.
"How....how?" Kid could only say those words. The old man chuckled and gestured to a ball on his desk.
"My crystal ball saw you putting on the clothing you wear now. It saw you take the treasure. It saw your impressive battle with Janet's giant Bulb."
"If you can see everything, tell me how I got here!" I shouted.
"Ah Serge, if only you knew, but you will know," he added hastilly as he saw Kid's fists tighten.
"You see," he began, "there are many different worlds in the universe. They form when anyone makes a decision. Like take yours Serge. In this world you died when you were 7 by drowning in a horrible accident. Though, in your world, you decided not to go swimming that day. You dodged a terrible bullet. Everyone else in these two worlds is the same, except for you. In one world you are alive, and the other you are dead. There are millions of worlds. Let's say I want to have some ice cream. But then I decide I don't. Then (we dont feel it) but another world was created of me eating that ice cream. Now maybe the ice cream has poison in it. Now I am dead in the other world. Everytime someone makes a decision, the one that doesn't happen ends up making another world."
We were astounded. Then a small voice came from the back of the room.
"If your finished with them, I'd like to kill them now."
"Go ahead Marcy," the warlock said. He retired into a chair to watch as a little blond girl stepped out of the shadows and took a fighting stance. We all laughed. Marcy scowled.
I would not take Marcy lightly," the warlock said. "She hides many secrets."
Marcy smiled as we took out our weapons. I ran at her first and attack viciously. There were several deep cuts. She ran at Kid, swung her foot up and brought it down hard. "Take that!" she screamed. Then she leaped back. I was fired up. I used MagmaBurst, a new element I found in the treasure room. It was supposed to be the next strongest Fire attack, second only to Volcano. Marcy was hit badly. She then brought up a Blue element and --- ENGULFED me in a capsule of ice! Pain beyond pain, every cell screaming in agony. Then it broke. I crumpled. I wasn't dead, but I need a little strength. I only saw Pierre begin to use a White element. It lifted me up to my feet. Revive. I used a Cure and I was back to normal strength. Kid next Used a Red element and began running at lightning speed towards Marcy. Kid struck, and Marcy --- SWIVELED??? When Kid returned, she was bouncing a treasure. Kid had used Pilfer! I ran at Marcy and began to attack. I leaped back and allowed Kid to begin slicing and dicing. She leaped back and Pierre charged and brought his sword down hard. Marcy screamed. "No! Please! I won't attack. Owwwww!"
The old warlock got up and was clapping. He used his wand to heal Marcy and then spoke to us.
"The second to last statue on the right in the throne room activites the throne to go down. Run onto that and left the left arm on the chair to move it up. There you will find answers." We left the room.
Once again, we were on the bridge. We ran across it, and came back to the throne room and were immediately greeted by a woman in a jester outfit carrying a bag. She appeared out of thin air and was floating with her arms and legs crossed.
"Ah zo zees ees ze Serge I 'ave 'eard about. Ah 'oo are zo sessy. Even more gooood loooooking zen I have 'eard," she said in a French accent similair to Pierre's. Kid took a swipe at her and she disappeared. We ran into the room and turn the second to last statue on the right, like the warlock said. The throne came down and two guards came over.
"What the hell do you think your doing?" one yelled. I withdrew my swallow and prepared to attack.
I ran at the guard and struck. Then Kid and Pierre followed suit. He was weak. I used IceBlast, the thing I got from Marcy, and engulfed the guard in a block of ice. It soon shattered. The guard fell. Pierre used Eagle Eye and immediately all of us would have better accuracy than before. I attack the guard with agility. He fell. We won.
We ran at the throne and got on the platform and raised it using the right arm and raising that. At the top there was a door. We opened it and immedately found ourselves in a corridor. We tried the end door but it was locked. Then we tried the middle door and it opened up.
We stood in a room. It looked like an office. Kid was staring opened-mouthed at a glowing object on the desk.
"Bloody bastards," she said. "Tricked me."
Just then the door opened and an old, muscular-looking man came out. He was wearing black armor and had a white goatee. He was bald.
"What is the meaning of this?" he shouted. Kid spoke up.
"I wanna have a few questions with the guest you're having General," Kid growled. Then the door opened again. A creature came out. He was a -- cat. He had on a hat that swooped back and long, black robes. he carried a short, lop-sided spear. Kid was shaking.
"Lynx," she growled. "How the hell did you get General Viper to accept you here. I've heard medi-humans-"
"SHUT UP LITTLE GIRL!" Lynx shouted. "You do look familiar. It's on the tip of my tongue -- oh yes, Kid."
Kid was shaking even more violently now. It was fury.
"General, we must have these people arrested," Lynx said softly.
"Shut your fat mouth you medi-"
"BE QUIET GIRL!"
"Excuse me Sir Lynx," the General began. "These are just children. This little girl-"
"Viper, please. This girl is associated with none other than the Radical Dreamers," Lynx said. The little color in Viper's face left it. My stomach gave a jolt.
Radical Dreamers? Kid?
I shall now finish these people, General," Lynx announced. He took out his spear thingy. We withdrew our weapons.
I attacked first. I brought down my swallow and caused some damage. I did it again and again. Then I leaped back. This guy was a Black attribute. White attacks will work best. He attacked. Me. Kid went next and attacked viciously. Lynx screamed in pain. Pierre went next and brought down his sword as hard as he could. Lynx used an element. Fool. Pierre was now sluggish and stupid. Kid used MagmaBurst. Angry red patches appeared on Lynx's face. I attacked harder. Pierre used a White element. PhotonRay. The tip of his sword blasted a white ray at Lynx. I used another White element. It was called Slash and Dash. I raced forward and brought down my swallow hard. Lynx fell. We did it.
We were back in Viper's office. The fallen Lynx resumed a shape. It was a Shadow. It walked through the door and the real Lynx stood in the doorway.
"You think I'd waste my life on you three?" he laughed. He stepped forward and offered me the glowing object. I looked at it. "You could become powerful Serge. Very powerful. Even more powerfu than I. Would you like that Serge?"
I looked into the glowing object. I saw myself inside. It was me staring back and then -- my face morphed into that of Lynx's. I stepped back, staring at it. My face was normal.
"Even more powerful than I," Lynx's taunt stayed in my head. Just then a young girl stepped into the office.
"Oh hi, daddy! I was looking all over the manor for you!"
"Riddel, get out!" Viper said, but it was too late. Kid withdrew her dagger and pressed it against Riddel's throat. I could make out Kid's whispering.
"I ain't gonna hurt you," she said softly. "I just need a getaway plan." They walked to the door slowly, Pierre and I following. We walked up the steps to the right and found ourselves on a garden/balcony. It was illuminated with green light. Kid stood on the very edge and let Riddel go. Lynx took the opportunity to throw a dagger at Kid. It srtuck her leg and she feel off. Pierre then jumped. I was left. Lynx advanced.
"Come with us Serge, and you will be more powerful and I," he said menacingly. I was cornered. I turned around and jumped off.
Author's Note: Sorry for the delay. And for those of you who are reading my CardCaptors story, I think I will get pretty far into this before I make another chapter. Sorry.

The light washed over us. We were temporaraly blinded. I felt for my dagger, and realized they didn't see us. I let out a sigh of relief.
"It must be the new mellenium..." I said. Serge looked puzzled.
"Never mind," I said quickly. I looked at the light.

"What?" Serge asked.
"There's no one manning the light. It's going on its own. The guards are so damn lazy..." I sighed. I looked around. Pierre was starin' at another light. I bumped by chest into Serge's back.
Serge turned around. "You OK?" he asked. I felt flushed.
"Yeah, I just stumbled," How cold I stumble when I standing still?????
Serge smiled. "Lets get away from the light..." Pierre nodded and we went to a nearby bush.
I watched the light go behind us. It was coming back around and I pointed to the light and we ran for it. We got to the main enterance and two guards leaped out. I had had enough of battling. I grabbed the one guard's arm and pulled out my knife as fast as I could and pressed it to his throat. The other one backed away.

I landed on my feet, but it hurt. I staggered and helped Kid up. Then I noticed 3 guards. They advanced on us menacingly. Kid glared at them.
"Look what we have here..." one guard snorted.
"A couple of stupid kids," another growled.
"Who's this?" the other said staring pointedly at Pierre. "Their babysitter?" All three of them laughed.
"Say that again," Kid growled.
"Oh! Miss Tough Girl! We're scared!" a guard mock-shielded himself then broke into fits of laughter.
"I bet if we were outta here, you would be, chump!" Kid raised her fists. The guard dropped his arms and gave Kid a look of pure venom.

I gasped. Treasures and jewels of all kinds stood next to me. I went to a treasure box and sqautted down to open it. Arms and les popped out and it attacked.
It turned out there were two to choose from. Kid whispered to me,
"I've heard of these, if you attack one, it either gives you the treasure or attacks back. I also heard that if the big one attacks you first when you open it, you should attack the little one for the treasure, the same vice versa."
"I can't remember was it a big treasure that grew arms and legs?" I asked.

"Kid! What's this?" I asked her. She glanced at it casually.

She was staring at some items on display in the back. I glanced at the stone -- I'd allocate it later -- and hurried over. I picked up a shield. Immediately it was whisked away by Pierre.

"Eet could be guarded by an alarm, you know," he said annoyingly.
"So could the shield," Kid shot back. I reached behind Pierre and gingerly took the medallion to examine it. The wall opened up and we were rammed into it. It was a trap!
"I am glad you decided to drop in," said a misty, fairy-like voice. I opened my eyes and saw a woman with bright curly purple hair and think, red, square spectacles in an outfit like she was going on a safari standing behind a lab table with a big white sheet over a large bump, resting on its surface. The bump quivered.
"I told you," Pierre said crossly.
"I can see you are not real guards. Remove your clothing!" the woman said triumphantly. Kid gave me a quizzical look.
"I mean your disquises!" she said irriatably. Slowly, cautiously, we removed the guards armor and helmets. We dropped the swords to the floor. The woman slowly began walking towards the cage that held us when she was stopped by a horrible screeching sound.
"PIP! THIS IS NOT THE TIME!" the woman screamed. The bump on the table shook more voilently. The woman went to a small cage where a cute, yellowy-white creature stood. The woman rattled the cage and the creature whimpered. The woman then walked towards us. She opened the cage and we walked out.
"Er- thanks?" Kid began. To our surprise, the woman laughed.
"I am not saving you," she said icily. She was grinning so evilly i was wondering why hell had not opened up and called to its new master. "I shall kill you now with my greatest invention: The Giant Bulb!" The bump shook violently and didn't stop, the sheet fell off and Kid gave a small scream.

We still had the armor and disguise on, we redressed after the battle. We went inside a cafeteria and talked to a boy with sandy hair.
"You fell down? You forgot the password? I better write it down. Follow me," he said. We walked and got to a room and he wrote it on the wall:
This weeks password:

He turned to us.
"Don't fall again! That trap is murder to set back up!"
We found the statue of the snake quick enough, and turned it 8 to the right, and 1 to the left. We heard a loud click and we were able to open the door just beyond the statue. We ran up the stairs and saw more guards. Kid pointed to the left, and we ran out of there.

We were astounded. Then a small voice came from the back of the room.
"If your finished with them, I'd like to kill them now."
"Go ahead Marcy," the warlock said. He retired into a chair to watch as a little blond girl stepped out of the shadows and took a fighting stance. We all laughed. Marcy scowled.
I would not take Marcy lightly," the warlock said. "She hides many secrets."
Marcy smiled as we took out our weapons. I ran at her first and attack viciously. There were several deep cuts. She ran at Kid, swung her foot up and brought it down hard. "Take that!" she screamed.

The old warlock got up and was clapping. He used his wand to heal Marcy and then spoke to us.
"The second to last statue on the right in the throne room activites the throne to go down. Run onto that and left the left arm on the chair to move it up. There you will find answers." We left the room.
Once again, we were on the bridge. We ran across it, and came back to the throne room and were immediately greeted by a woman in a jester outfit carrying a bag. She appeared out of thin air and was floating with her arms and legs crossed.
"Ah zo zees ees ze Serge I 'ave 'eard about. Ah 'oo are zo sessy. Even more gooood loooooking zen I have 'eard," she said in a French accent similair to Pierre's. Kid took a swipe at her and she disappeared. We ran into the room and turn the second to last statue on the right, like the warlock said. The throne came down and two guards came over.
"What the hell do you think your doing?" one yelled. I withdrew my swallow and prepared to attack.
I ran at the guard and struck. Then Kid and Pierre followed suit. He was weak. I used IceBlast, the thing I got from Marcy, and engulfed the guard in a block of ice. It soon shattered. The guard fell. Pierre used Eagle Eye and immediately all of us would have better accuracy than before. I attack the guard with agility. He fell. We won.
We ran at the throne and got on the platform and raised it using the right arm and raising that. At the top there was a door. We opened it and immedately found ourselves in a corridor. We tried the end door but it was locked. Then we tried the middle door and it opened up.
We stood in a room. It looked like an office. Kid was staring opened-mouthed at a glowing object on the desk.
"Bloody bastards," she said. "Tricked me."
Just then the door opened and an old, muscular-looking man came out. He was wearing black armor and had a white goatee. He was bald.
"What is the meaning of this?" he shouted. Kid spoke up.
"I wanna have a few questions with the guest you're having General," Kid growled. Then the door opened again. A creature came out. He was a -- cat. He had on a hat that swooped back and long, black robes. he carried a short, lop-sided spear. Kid was shaking.
"Lynx," she growled. "How the hell did you get General Viper to accept you here. I've heard medi-humans-"
"SHUT UP LITTLE GIRL!" Lynx shouted. "You do look familiar. It's on the tip of my tongue -- oh yes, Kid."
Kid was shaking even more violently now. It was fury.
"General, we must have these people arrested," Lynx said softly.
"Shut your fat mouth you medi-"
"BE QUIET GIRL!"
"Excuse me Sir Lynx," the General began. "These are just children. This little girl-"
"Viper, please. This girl is associated with none other than the Radical Dreamers," Lynx said. The little color in Viper's face left it. My stomach gave a jolt.
Radical Dreamers? Kid?
I shall now finish these people, General," Lynx announced. He took out his spear thingy. We withdrew our weapons.
I attacked first. I brought down my swallow and caused some damage. I did it again and again. Then I leaped back. This guy was a Black attribute. White attacks will work best. He attacked. Me. Kid went next and attacked viciously. Lynx screamed in pain. Pierre went next and brought down his sword as hard as he could. Lynx used an element. Fool. Pierre was now sluggish and stupid. Kid used MagmaBurst. Angry red patches appeared on Lynx's face. I attacked harder. Pierre used a White element. PhotonRay. The tip of his sword blasted a white ray at Lynx. I used another White element. It was called Slash and Dash. I raced forward and brought down my swallow hard. Lynx fell. We did it.
We were back in Viper's office. The fallen Lynx resumed a shape. It was a Shadow. It walked through the door and the real Lynx stood in the doorway.
"You think I'd waste my life on you three?" he laughed. He stepped forward and offered me the glowing object. I looked at it. "You could become powerful Serge. Very powerful. Even more powerfu than I. Would you like that Serge?"
I looked into the glowing object. I saw myself inside. It was me staring back and then -- my face morphed into that of Lynx's. I stepped back, staring at it. My face was normal.
"Even more powerful than I," Lynx's taunt stayed in my head. Just then a young girl stepped into the office.
"Oh hi, daddy! I was looking all over the manor for you!"
"Riddel, get out!" Viper said, but it was too late. Kid withdrew her dagger and pressed it against Riddel's throat. I could make out Kid's whispering.
"I ain't gonna hurt you," she said softly. "I just need a getaway plan." They walked to the door slowly, Pierre and I following. We walked up the steps to the right and found ourselves on a garden/balcony. It was illuminated with green light. Kid stood on the very edge and let Riddel go. Lynx took the opportunity to throw a dagger at Kid. It srtuck her leg and she feel off. Pierre then jumped. I was left. Lynx advanced.
"Come with us Serge, and you will be more powerful and I," he said menacingly. I was cornered. I turned around and jumped off.
Author's Note: Sorry for the delay. And for those of you who are reading my CardCaptors story, I think I will get pretty far into this before I make another chapter. Sorry.
