DamienBlack92- Glad you enjoy the mayhem!
nightmaster000- Ohhh, HIM will make a move soon, you can trust him to do that much. As for Clone, well, he seems to become a fav topic among the fans here. But no, he's not evil- no more than Junior is at least. I'll consider Chi down the lane and Mimi will be showing up soon.
bubbajack- Well, I don't know if what Junior counts as crazy or not, but here it is. And I think I still jumped around a bit this chap, bit more than I thought I would.
J-U- Yep, makes you wonder about all the little monster children Junior might create.
DPSS- I honestly have no idea where the 'Clone is/will be a separate person' thing came from. It's not in my plans for now, it did give me an idea for a gag in the story. Thanks for your answers, most of them are answered in this chap or future ones! Also, I think Junior would just have power over time if he at Clockwork.
Logan- Welcome!
Cf96- Probably not.
coldblue- Cold, you don't have to apologize for not getting to the fic immediately. You got there in the first twenty-four hours, that's pretty fast in my opinion, especially with how long your reviews are. Any way, I'm glad you're enjoying the battle and the delay in Junior going to save Minnie will actually play a part soon. As for Clone- I'll be honest I never had plans to make him his own being. At least not totally. It's complicated and I'd rather not give it away encase I don't use what I have planned. For now, just consider him Junior- which, technically, all the clones are in the end. However, you will get to see what the power difference is before the true end of the battle and he will eventually get a nickname, probably. As for Junior going off to save Minnie, it'll happen very soon- next chapter, probably. Chi-...Well, I'm glad I'm not the only one that suspects Aku mating with Dexter to make her. Horror Hand...you may have inspired something for one of the sequels to this story.
Thank you, as always for the many answers. I know about Brandon Storm and have skimmed his story a bit- I haven't been in a reading mood lately. His fic is pretty good from what I've seen...even if I'm not fond of the part about just HOW Minnie was made to get over her feelings for Junior. However, I'm glad to see more authors are popping up. Speaking of which- another one by Darkingdom showed up. As for 'Always Your Brother', it is on the back-burner for a bit while I decide what to do with it. As for the AU you want, I got more than a few ideas that would fit that role.
Lastly, about your question on the Etunaz review about my story updating- I update and publish when I get into the mood for a fic. I've been loving this fic, but I update others occasionally and I publish when I 'think' I got the plot figured out.

AN BIG NEWS: I have created a GT forum here on FF, hopefully to inspire and help other authors with GT ideas. That and just for us GT fans to have a spot to ourselves. Here's the link, have fun! Feel free to post your own topics!
/forum/Grim-Tales-from-the-DevilGod/134945
Nergal Junior stared down Clone as the latter crouched atop the roof like a cat waiting to pounce on a mouse. Clone was fully or mostly reenergized and healed while Nergal Junior was injured and his power was being taxed by the regeneration. The worst part was that he didn't understand. He understood Minnie was dead, that she had given Junior her powers, that Junior was insane with grief and rage, and even that Junior had the ability to devour everything now.
What he didn't understand was why him? Why was Junior singling him out with his most powerful clone? Did he think in this maddened state that Nergal Junior was a bigger threat than Mandy or Grim? No, if that were the case, he would be attacking Mandy now that she was blowing up his little army. The conversation from earlier rang in his head...Junior returned to being enraged upon being told about what Minnie would have wanted. Could that be it? Could Clone smell that Nergal Junior was Minnie's father? Was he focusing his rage on everything in the memory of Minnie dying and just focusing on the similar smell or something?
Or did Junior really just hate him this much? He didn't know and he couldn't afford to dwell on it, not now; not while he was facing down his monster-of-a-godson. Not while he had an underworld to help save. Clone must have sensed the resolve in his enemy steeling, for he allowed himself to fall forward before using his legs to propel him with one great kick away from the building and towards the shape-shifter, claws gleaming menacingly in the moonlight.
With Mandy
Mandy sliced through yet another clone, blasting several others with the same swing. Normally, she would fight with a sword in one hand and a gun in the other. However, the Sword of Tengu was something she needed to use both hands to wield properly; partially but not completely because it burned her hand. Another reason because aiming this thing was a lot trickier than a gun. If the tip was pointed even a millimeter off where she thought it was pointed, she would miss and keeping it completely steady needed both hands. The burning made aiming it just a bit harder. Thankfully, her immortality even healed nonlethal wounds, so she didn't have to worry about it burning all the way to her bones...for a while, at least.
Her plan was going remarkably well. Pain and his troops were holding their own, for now, which distracted the bulk of the clones. Grim, Jack, and herself were handling the remaining ones near the Reaper-Beast and she was gambling on the hope that it wouldn't be fully on its feet again before they were ready. Nergal Junior, while not in on the plan, was helping out unknowingly. That head clone was a variable she wasn't entirely sure they could have dealt with without him.
The other clones died. Sure, they just put themselves back together or healed and got right back up, but they did die for a few seconds against lethal wounds. That one? No, he didn't die. He took whatever they threw at him and threw it all back with interest before the Nergal flesh could even regenerate over his bones. Worse than that, he was smart and he was strong. She had felt the force of one of the clones while blocking an attack. They would never be able to harm Nergal Junior at their level, but that one was tearing into him. The clones only had a fraction of the power the Head Clone had.
That made her a bit apprehensive. If the Head Clone was several times stronger than the regular clones, did that mean the real Junior was even more powerful than the Head Clone, regardless of his form? Or was the Head Clone a good estimate for Junior's power level? It was a variable that she couldn't account for, something she didn't like in battles, but something she had to work around all the same. After all...the likelihood of them having to fight the real Junior was a very real possibility even if they got him out of the Reaper-Beast.
With that thought in mind, she decimated another dozen clones with a single swing, the sword's magical defenses keeping their attacks from reaching her. The clones still healed and reassembled from the attacks, but they took much longer to do so.
With Jack and Grim
"Duck!" Jack warned as he shot a large fire ball at where Grim had been standing, hitting a clone hard with the sphere of magic flames and sending it off the building in a fiery fall.
"Jump!" Grim yelled, slicing at his brother's feet, who jumped just in time. The cannon-armed clone behind him, however, lost everything below the thighs.
"This takes me back!" Jack yelled, unholy glee in the voice of the usually good natured being. He grabbed the downed clone, roared a flaming roar onto its face, and tossed it onto another one climbing over the ledge.
"You said it, mon!" Grim yelled with a smirk, reaping seven in one long swing and remembering a time long ago where all the worlds and boundaries were less fixed then they were now.
"Time to turn up the heat!" Jack yelled as he jumped to the nearest corner of the roof, and sent a long wave of fire along both walls, burning the clones off.
"Nice one, me brother!" Grim praised with a laugh, tossing the last of the clones on the roof off before running to the edge, "You cover Mandy!" Grim yelled as he sent slices of reaper energy to keep the clones down and blocking blasts with his scythe.
"Right," Jack said, his pumpkin grin turning just a bit more sinister. He may not blame Junior, but he was still enraged by what was happening to his town. This seemed like a good opportunity to...vent. He reached into his own flaming mouth and pulled out a fireball that was so dark a red, it was almost like it was flames of blood, "This should help," He said, reeling back his arm and throwing it towards Mandy's area before going back to helping his brother.
Nergal Junior V Junior-Clone
Clone growled in irritation as kicked himself off Nergal Junior's arm, which he had raised in defense. He didn't growl because of his opponent though. He was linked to all the clones and 'saw' what the dark fire ball had done. It hit one clone and engulfed five others in hellish flames that didn't die out even when the clones were naught but skeletal corpses, unable to heal. At some point this fighting had developed from an annoying inconvenience into a major setback. He needed to end this. NOW!
While still in the air, Clone sprouted his wings again and flew into the air, to Nergal Junior's surprise. The demon watched as the duplicate rose roughly fifty feet before spinning around, one arm formed into a canon. Nergal Junior tensed, ready to dodge, but the shot never came. He looked up in confusion at the red eyes of the hybrid, who only snapped out two growling words, "Last! Shot!"
Nergal nodded in understanding as his own cannon-arm formed; one last attack to finish this. He didn't have much choice, in all honesty. Up until now, Clone had been launching a vicious assault on him and never gave him time to form a weapon or the room to use one properly. And every defensive move on Nergal Junior's part resulted in another gash through his armored skin. It was almost like training with his father again, for few humanoid creatures could cut through a Nergal's armored skin unless it was another Nergal. And a fight between Nergals usually became a contest of stamina…something that Clone currently had in spades.
The two demonic titans lined their cannons at each other, the large eye on each cannon glowing menacingly as they charged. With a roaring burst of power, both beams fired and clashed. The shockwave from the two forces pushing against each other created a great gust of wind that could be felt throughout and around Halloween Town, all the way back to the Hinterlands and beyond even that. But the warring clones and Tikbalans paid it little mind after the first second, the armies pausing only to individually steel their bearings as to not be blown about.
With Grim and Jack
The two reapers should have expected it, but they didn't. They yelled as their corner of the roof caved in under them, sending them crashing to the top floor, which then gave way for them to fall to the one below that. The two brothers groaned in pain, but quickly defended themselves as the clones descended from the top floor and jumped through the windows.
"You okay, Grim!?" Jack yelled through the dust as he kicked aside one that jumped at him.
"Yeah. Sneaky little bastards," Grim grumbled, his frustration getting the best of him as he blocked one with the staff of his scythe, "We need to get back up dere!"
"Easier said than done!" Jack retorted as one bit into his left arm, prompting him to ram it against the wall to loosen its grip.
Back on the roof, thirteen clones lined the roof as they each formed a cannon-arm and aimed at the clashing beams...
Nergal Junior V Junior-Clone
The Son of Nergal smirked as he saw his beam was gaining ground against Clone's. He was pumping everything into this, hoping to put an end to this even if it might put him in danger from the rest of the clones.
The demon went wide eyed as he saw at least a dozen clones on a roof top out of the corner of his vision aiming in his direction, 'Junior, you cheating brat!' He mentally cursed, berating himself for assuming that Junior would fight fair, let alone while in such a state. However, he was very confused when the clones fired, but not at him...they were heading towards Clone instead, 'Wha-?' He thought in bewilderment before he saw just what they were doing.
The red beams were all hitting Clone's cannon-eye...and Clone's beam was getting stronger. Somehow, Clone was absorbing his clones' attacks and using the energy to amplify his own. Hence why Nergal Junior's blast was quickly losing the battle as the black-glowing red beam almost engulfed the yellowish green one. Nergal Junior would have considered jumping out of the way, but knew that the minute he let up, that beam would hit him before he could get away. And he couldn't block it again; this was far too strong to try tha-
He didn't get a chance to finish that thought as the red death-ray blew right through his opposing beam, engulfing him and tearing him asunder, much like how he had done to Clone earlier. The attack sent the demon through the stone street and into the sewer. Clone wasn't done though...He took the still-firing beam and shot it slowly across the battlefield the town had become. To an outside observer, it would seem like madness. The beam hit the areas between where his clones were fighting Pain's forces and where the Reaper-Beast body was. It didn't hit a single enemy and actually took out some of his own clones.
With that job done, Clone flew down to where Nergal Junior had been, to make sure the job was truly done.
With Mandy
'He knows!' The Queen of the Underworld mentally yelled with wide eyes, deflecting a beam from a clone. She had known what the Head Clone was doing before the beam finished its arc across the monster-village. He was collapsing the sewers behind the forces she had sent underground, 'But why not simply take them out with the laser...unless...,' She mentally realized, looking towards where Clone was flying. 'He's going in after them!' She concluded, assuming that Nergal Junior had been blasted into the town's sewer. There was no way her forces could fight that one and hope to win, much less in such closed spaces.
She blasted one last shot at the group she was fighting, scattering them, before running towards where Clone was heading. She never noticed the group of clones smirking as she fled. However, she knew something was wrong the moment the beams stopped firing at her. She stopped just in time to feel the first one. The ground shook violently, causing several buildings to collapse or fall over. Mandy turned and saw what she had suspected. The Reaper-Beast was stomping its leg onto the ground, trying to break through to the sewers.
Worse yet, she saw why the clones had stopped firing. Those not fighting Pain's forces or the Grim Brothers had lined up in front of the Reaper-Beast, smirking evilly at her. If she tried to fire at the monster, they would jump to shield it, and there were enough of them to give the abomination the time it needed. And while she could mentally stand the pain of using the Sword of Tengu, her hands would eventually go numb from it.
'Damn...Not bad, son, not bad at all,' She thought, having to give props to her son for playing her like that. The foot came down again, even harder, and Mandy honestly wondered if this town would still be standing at all. That was when she got an idea. She lifted her sword and pointed at the Beast, making the clones tense. Then she fired...at the ground, to their confusion. She blasted several times at three spots in the ground.
Junior and his clones realized too late what she was doing. Three holes to the sewers were open, the Tikbalans right below them, "Get up and out there, now!" Mandy commanded loudly, bringing the soldiers out of their confusion as they started storming out of the sewer.
In the Reaper-Beast
Junior chuckled sinisterly to himself as he saw what the red-eyed one had done, "Too Late!" He barked out as he readied the Reaper-Beast to lift its leg...only to be tackled by Nergal Senior, to his shock.
"Sorry Junior, but this has gone on long enough!" He stated, holding the smaller and younger male in a head lock, keeping him from controlling the Reaper-Beast. Despite only being a mental manifestation of the real Nergal, he still had a good deal of strength.
Junior thrashed and clawed to get out of the grip as his captor held him off the ground. He tried to head-butt Nergal several times, but kept missing. He growled and summoned his own axe-tail, but Nergal Senior put his foot down on that, literally, and pinned it to the mental ground. Junior, aware that his mother's plan was almost saved, knew he had to act fast. He slammed both his elbows into his grand uncle's chest, making him grunt but nothing else.
"Listen to me Junior! You don't want to do this! That's your family out there! OUR Family! And I sure as Hell am not going to let you disgrace Minnie's sacrifice-!" He shouted, only to go wide eyed and give out a gasp. Junior had sprouted his Nergal-wings and impaled him through the chest and out the back, the razors dripping with green blood. Slowly, the great demon slouched down against his will, allowing Junior to reclaim his footing and control over the Reaper-Beast.
The mental projection felt a tentacle wrap around his chest, weaving in between the blades before it jerked him violently off. He found himself held back by many more tentacles. He looked up as his 'wounds' healed and what he saw was holding him almost broke his heart a little. It was Minnie. Or rather, what was left of her body and with many more tentacles sprouting out of it. Pinned by the corpse of his granddaughter, which was controlled by her now-insane half-brother who was currently trying to commit what Nergal could only call 'Reapageddon.' Things were not looking promising from this demon's angle.
Junior growled as he regained control of his Reaper-Beast body, seeing that over two hundred of the soldiers had made it out of the sewers. Wasting no more time, he commanded the leg to rise again to put a stop to this annoyance. He was going to enjoy devouring that red-eyed one, slowly and agonizingly. Even more than he enjoyed finishing 'Uncle Nergal'...
With Mandy
The Queen of the Underworld had no idea what made the Reaper-Beast hesitate for a few short moments. Frankly, unless Junior had come to his senses, she really couldn't give a damn. That extra time saved over half her forces at this point. She gritted her teeth, though, when the leg finally did rise again, knowing she could do nothing to stop it. It fell with one great bang, slamming through the street and into the catacombs of Halloween Town.
It was only now that Mandy truly appreciated the beating this town was taking. Even if the battle was contained to one area, the destruction was still widespread. Buildings were in ruins if not completely collapsed, and many that were still standing were on fire. Blast marks decorated the stones like a bad paint job. Craters were all over the streets from the fighting. But this stomping was cracking at the very foundation now; for there were now large cracks bursting from where the leg entered the sewer that spread far outwards. If the ground shook much more, whole chunks of the city could fall into the sewer below.
Speaking of which, Mandy also found out exactly what Junior's counterplan had been. Rather than burying her soldiers in the underground, he had large tentacles sprout from the Reaper-Beast and spread throughout the sewer, like roots, and devour everything they could. She saw the spiny tentacle shoot right by the hole nearest her, leaving only the head and arm of a Tikbalan that had almost made it out. If she had to guess, three hundred or so of her men got out. That meant Junior only ate fifty or so of them… which meant this could still work!
"Attack!" She yelled, firing at the horde of clones before her with her sword. The Tikbalans split up, half heading to flank the clones Pain's dwindling forces were facing and the others charged with their Queen.
With Clone and Nergal Junior
Nergal Junior painfully panted as he lay in the crater. Unlike what Mandy had expected, he hadn't landed in the sewer...yet. He was laying on the edge of where the crater collapsed into the sewage system. He was burned in several places, his right arm was gone, his legs were torn up bad, his wings were gone, his hair was highly singed, and he was bleeding...a lot. His left arm and torso were about the only things still in good shape and that wasn't saying much.
He choked up a scream as a clawed foot slammed on his chest. He looked up and through the blurs in his vision; he saw the demonified form of Junior's Clone standing over him, his right arm with a wrist-blade. Nergal Junior smirked weakly, "Gu-Guess you got me, Junior." He praised bitterly, the clone looking at him unresponsively. "I-I hope you don't re-re-"cough!-"remember this afterwards," He added with a weak grin, not wishing that trauma on the boy, even now.
Clone just stood there, staring at him. In the hive mind of Junior and his duplicates, he wondered why. Why would these beings fight so helplessly? Why not flee? To a predator, it made little sense. They had to know by now that his clones simply regenerated and that more souls only made them even more durable. Why, why, why? The word plagued him like a curse for those few moments. Was it something about this land? Was it him? Did they hate him that much, to seek his destruction onto their own death?
But...there was no hate from any of them. Even the red eyed one, the one whose soul reeked of a dark evil, had no hate for him. Even this one, who had his foot on his broken body, the so-called 'Uncle Nergal' didn't smell of hatred. Why didn't they hate him, their hunter and killer?...Why did he hate them at all, for that matter? Why was he even here? Where had he been? What wa-?!
Clone roared and clutched his head in pain, his eyes blazing with renewed fury, the haze in his mind that had been finally starting to clear had returned full force. The last thing Nergal Junior saw was Clone slamming his foot onto his face. He faintly heard him running off before his consciousness faded...
With Dan
He hated this plan, he really, really did. Hiding and sneak attacks were never his style, let alone in the gutters- and in the street itself now that those tentacles had spread through the sewers. However, this foe warranted a little rule bending on his part...that and Clockwork threaten to send him into nonexistence if he didn't listen to the blonde bitch. So, yeah, that was pretty good incentive to go along with this plan, even if he thought it was a bit too elaborate.
The blonde's head guard and his forces attacked from the front, she and her skeletons hit the rest of them to buy time for the ones in the sewer to burst out behind enemy lines, and then he would pop out and attack the Reaper-Beast when it and the clones were too distracted to stop him. It was simple, really; it fixed the problem of one of the clones hitting him while he was charging his attack. He just had to time this right or he'd be this thing's newest meal.
'One kid did all this?' He thought with a smirk. 'Damn, has the underworld always had little monsters like this popping up? If so, I should have came here originally instead of wasting my time with the humans!' He concluded with a mental laugh as he watched from behind the Reaper-Beast, his head half phased out of the ground. The horse-faces were attacking the clones, check. The skeletons were being swarmed, crap. The demon guy was down, double crap. However, the powerful clone was out of sight as far as he could tell, check. Finally, the bitch was drawing the giant's attention mostly to her with her super-blade. 'This is about as good a chance as I'll get,' He realized as he phased back under and headed closer.
With Grim
"H-hey, Grim? Thi-this boy is the crown prince, right? Because I don't think you and Mandy can do much better than this," Jack joked weakly, panting from overuse of his powers. It had been centuries since he had used so much of his powers for so long.
"Jus hang in dere a bit longer, Jack. The army below is takin care of more of dem now," Grim said encouragingly as he spun his scythe, deflecting several blasts at once, 'Charles said ten minutes! It's done been ten fooking minutes!' He thought in frustration.
"Y-yeah. I know,"Jack said as he got back to his feet, seeing that the clones they had to deal with were indeed thinning...then he heard some kind of roar that shook the building and then another from the Reaper-Beast. The reaper brothers looked out and saw that Dan was using his ghostly wail on the monster while flying behind it, causing the beast to scream in pain; as did the clones for that matter.
"Jack, jump now, mon!" Grim yelled, jumping out of a broken window, feeling the building starting to shake violently. The Pumpkin King followed suit, hearing crashing that was way too close for comfort. They both groaned on the ground, hoping no bones were broken. Luckily the clones were still convulsing, allowing the army to do more of them in and the skeletons to get their bearings.
They looked up and saw that what was left of the pumpkin-themed machinery was being peeled away by the continuing ghostly wail of Dan Phantom. In vain, it tried to stand up to strike at its attacker, only for Mandy to fire on it repeatedly with her sword. It roared defiantly, like a great predator refusing to die. Finally, as the wail ended, it fell to the ground...and the clones stopped convulsing. That had been a bit of an optimistic possibility on Mandy's part, that the clones might fall if the Reaper-Beast was taken down. It seemed that Junior's main body didn't need to be awake for him to control his clones.
"Grim, come on! We have to get in there while we still have a chance!" Clockwork yelled as he appeared nearby suddenly, to Grim's annoyance at his absence.
"You goin to be alright, Jack?" Grim asked in brotherly concern.
"Hey, just because you're older, doesn't mean I can't handle myself for a while," Jack protested jokingly, smiling a flaming pumpkin smile at his elder sibling, "Go on, your son needs you."
Grim nodded and ran though the battlefield, jumping over and under enemies and allies, and slicing when needed, 'I'mma comin son!' He thought, determined to save his son from himself.
He never noticed him coming until it was too late. He felt an iron grip on his right arm and turned to see the Head Clone had jumped at him. The hate filled and domonified eyes of his son bored into his empty sockets, his left arm raised high with a wrist blade. In that instant, as the blade came down, Grim thought for sure that he had failed...
And of course, Mandy came to the rescue and hit Clone with an electric-blast from her Sword of Tengu. The wrist-blade still struck him, slicing off Grim's right arm. Faintly and numbly hearing the yells of his wife and Clockwork, Grim paid the lost appendage no mind, merely happy he was left-handed with his scythe. He ran to catch up with the Ghost of Time before the two personifications leapt into the mouth of the unconscious Reaper-Beast.
Clone growled venomously as the two beings got away. Everything was going downhill so fast. The clones were slowly overwhelming the enemy army, but through the reaper-beast, he had seen the new and larger army approaching, and he could still smell them now. At least 'Uncle Nergal' was out of the picture...
He gained a sinister smirk as he realized how easily this could go in his favor. The flaming skeleton was weakening and one of the ghosts was out in the open now. The red-eye's hand was getting worse all the time, soon her weapon would be next to useless. The skeleton and other ghost had gone into the Reaper-Beast and once his true self took care of them, their power would be his and that army wouldn't stand a chance. Speaking of power...
He looked down at the black-clothed skeletal-arm he had been holding and licked his long demonic tongue across his jagged teeth. That particular skeleton reeked of power and this arm, even while severed, still oozed the same kind of power. With one great chomp, he ate the limp, and swallowed it within three gulps.
With a stomp, he turned back to the battle, the axe of his tail swiping through a Tikbalan's spear and helmet, lodging into its face. The impact sent the soldier's body crashing away across the battlefield. He saw the ghost, the flaming-skeleton, and the red-eyed one all staring at him. His grin was almost bigger than his mouth as he knew what was about to happen. He would finally deal with the biggest annoyances here: all at once.
End of Chapter
Fourth chappie! And now we get closer and closer to the highpoint of this little war. For the record, I play the song 'Your Betrayl' while thinking about that finally laser fight, hope you all enjoyed that end to the fight. Yes, Nergal Junior is out of the fight and his father took more than a little pain for his defiance, but Mandy's plan mostly worked thanks to him. Also, if you're wondering why Jack got winded, I imagine he hasn't used his Pumpkin King powers like this in a serious fight for a long time. The Dark Fireball is just something I made up for him.
Yes, Dan has been hiding out this whole time, to his chargin mind you. I realized this isn't something he would normally do, but given the people threatening him at the time, he is a bit leveraged to go along with it. Now he gets to join in on the fun.
As for Clone and Junior, no, he/they weren't exactly calming down. It's more like Junior's mind got use to the overflow of rage and started thinking a bit clearer, which might have led to him calming down, but Mandy's plan kicked in before his mind could properly adjust any further and sent him back into a deeper rage. Not sure if that means her plan failed or succeeded.
Lastly, Jack brought up a good point- Was Junior already the Crowned Prince of the Underworld or just the future Death? As far as canon goes, I think he was. Minnie even called him 'O Heir to Our Kingdom' in the first page. To me, that almost seems like she's acknowledging he's the one that gets the throne. But that's just my perspective.
Next Time, we get to the main event: Clone Vs Jack, Mandy, and Dan while the real Junior is confronted by Grim, Clockwork, and Nergal Senior. Well, R&R for now folks! Be sure to check out the forum!
Questions to Ponder: Is Junior stronger than Clone? If so, how much? Now that the Reaper-Beast is out of the picture, will the tikbalans be able to gain an advantage against the clones? Will the main army arrive to make a difference? Will Clone be able to take on and beat Dan, Jack, AND Mandy all at once? What effects will eating Grim's arm have on him, if any? Will Junior be able to fight his one-armed father and Clockwork in his mind, is he knocked out completely, or did that attack just knock him back to his senses? Will Nergal Senior be able to help? Will Junior and his clones be able to calm down and realize what he's doing? Will Junior be able to handle what he's done? What will Minnie think of everything her brother has done? What's even happening with her soul now? Is the Grim family going to be able to accept their prince...or will they just see this whole thing as something be kind of proud of? And even if Junior is calmed down and manages to bring his sister's soul home...what's he going to do with his powers after that?
