"NDS: Book 14—Twilight Moon: Chapter 105: Decisions and Warnings"

OKOKOKOKOKOKOKOKOKOKOKOKOK

It took me a few days to get back into the swing of things. I had to force myself to pump out this next chapter. I first had to do the original, and then this WA3 version. I have just recalled a way to scan my drawings online, so if there is one NDS-only character that you want to see most, go ahead and ask, and I'll upload it. It'll give me something to do instead of sitting around. I will not draw Gear though. I can't really draw Jet so well, so Gear would be hard. But the next chapter will be the end to Book 14, and that means I can finally move on to the final Book of this story. Now if only I can find a good story to think of that has nothing to do with NDS next time. I might have run out of ideas. I mean, I used to be a pure Ranma ½ fanfic writer, but ran out of ideas and soon became a WA3 one. I'm not really that good at this either.

Oh, and sorry. Last chapter I called Carole by the name of Aya. Aya is who she is in the original story. Sorry for any confusion.

The afternoon golden sun hung over the planet as wind blew past parting the grass. Emilia's soft gaze looked out on the plain from the porch of the Enduro-Maxwell home. The flies passing by in a buzz. Suddenly there was a soft hand on her shoulder. A big one when compared to her sizing.

"Something the matter?" Gallows wondered.

"I'm…" Emilia shook her head. "For the first time in my life, I'm not sure what to do." She calmly explained.

"You mean…about Gear?"

"Jet told me not to fight Gear." She stated. "I'm not sure I can go against his wishes, but…Adven did without a thought." Emilia tilted her head so it was looking at her feet. "Adven went against Jet's wishes. Should I follow what Jet tells me, or what Adven does?"

Gallows stood beside her in a pause. "Emilia…" After a moment he scoffed. "Whatever you decide, I will back you up. No matter your decision, no matter what."

She slowly looked to him. "Is that so?"

"Yes."

"Then…I should face Gear, but…" She drifted away from him.

"Don't worry about going against Jet's wishes. I do it all the time. He wasn't even making any sense when he told you not to interrupt."

"No…that's not what holds me back."

"What does then?" Gallows wondered.

"I have this…premonition." Emilia muttered. She nodded her head. "I should definitely stay here."

"Yeah, I suppose more defense on the home front would be best." Gallows agreed.

"If I can help it at all, I would rather not fight Gear again." Emilia noted. "If he were to come back to fight us…then both Adven and Jet would have failed to stop him."

Gallows nodded. "Yeah, I don't want to even think about that." Gallows' eyes were suddenly caught by something in the distance coming over the hill. "Wait…what's that?"

"Huh?" Emilia's eyes went to the man closing in on them.

The staggering form of Adven Bok came up the top of the hill with the sun to his back. The blood on his face beginning to dry. His inability to walk a straight line obvious. His right eye was shit or squinted while his left eye had blood just below it, but his eyes seemed lifeless. His bloody lips muttering something to himself.

Emilia and Gallows finally snapped to attention and ran the distance to meet the injured man. "Adven!" Emilia declared.

"I…Gear…" He weakly spoke.

"Hang on." Gallows promptly lifted the man into his arms and ran for the home with Emilia close behind.

The screen door shot open as Gallows went for the living room couch. Virginia and Sakura who sat at the table in the kitchen area promptly stood upward to see what was going on. The body in Gallows' arms caught Sakura's eyes. "Adven!" She quickly moved, but waited on the side as Gallows placed the brunette on the couch.

Adven coughed. "Listen," He began weakly, "Gear is after the SAND."

"Why would he want that?" Emilia wondered.

Adven rolled his head like he were lost. "Because…because Gear is like some sort of…of…reincarnation of Nobuo-Eon fused with Jet and Clyde by the Twilight Moon…"

"Then…my mother's theory is correct?" Emilia commented.

Virginia looked to the others. "Then we have to get the sandcraft away from here."

"I'll go get it running!" Emilia replied and quickly left the home.

Sakura was quick to move to the front of the couch and fall to her knees. She gently grabbed the hand of the man she loved. "Adven?" She wondered.

"Sakura…" He said as if he could not see her. "I'm sorry…"

"No, don't be." She quickly spoke. "Don't be stupid."

"Okay…"

Sakura stopped breathing when he rolled his head aside and looked limp. Virginia was leaning over him checking his pulse. The brunette woman looked to Sakura. "He's okay." She said, reliving Sakura. "He's just sleeping."

"Right…" Sakura shook her head. "Virginia, can you get me a bowl of water and a towel? I want to clean him up and make some sense of his injuries."

Virginia nodded. "Right."

"Listen," Sakura spoke, grabbing Gallows' and Virginia's attention. "I'm sorry…that I won't be of much help to you guys now. I just wish now that…I wasn't pregnant." She hung her head. "If I weren't…I could fight Gear with no worries. I could fight him just like Adven did. I could have helped him."

Virginia shook her head. "That can't be helped. There is no need for an apology." Virginia slowly made her way to the kitchen to obtain the items Sakura requested.

"Wait…" Gallows muttered. "You're pregnant?"
