"Thanks, guys!" Kadota called to the leaving maintenance crew.
None of them responded. One waved good-bye before they all left through the metal door.
Shizuo sighed. "Alright. Togusa-san, you ready?"
"Of course." The long-haired man grinned as he walked towards the pilot seat.
Shizuo stared after the man. He had never flown with Togusa before, so he wasn't sure if he was a good pilot. However, Kadota had vouched for him. As far as Shizuo knew, Togusa was the only pilot Kadota ever flew with, so he had to, at least, be capable.
Shizuo sat down as Togusa sat down and started the engines.
Izaya felt the ship engines start. He glanced around himself with a glower.
'Shield generator's on the fifth floor, huh? You didn't mention the fifth floor was ginormous with ten thousand rooms.'
He opened a door: not the shield generator. He slammed on the keypad harder than he should in irritancy.
'Dammit!'
Izaya went down the hall and opened another door.
'Aha! Found it!'
Izaya smiled and ran into the room with the massive shield generator's.
'Alright,' Izaya pulled out his holovid. 'So, we'll arrive to Alderaan in an hour at least. I have to wait until we get there. If I deactivate them now, they may get some kind of notification that they were turned off. So, I've got to wait until the last minute.'
With that decided, Izaya let out a soft sigh and went behind one of the generators. He sat down and began playing on his holovid.
"Shizuo." The blond could barely hear someone calling to him. "Shizuo!"
Shizuo struggled to open his eyes. "Hm?"
"10 minutes."
"Till...what?"
"We arrive to Alderaan."
"Oh!"
Shizuo jolted upright. He doesn't remember falling asleep, but obviously he had if the hyperspace journey was almost to an end. He rubbed his hand over his face and cleared his throat. Then he looked up at Kadota.
"R-right. Um, so-so we're going to go at Alderaan from the west hemisphere. Can't take the chance the Republic is waiting for us. Togusa, put shields up."
"Right."
Togusa pressed a button. However, there was no audible sound.
"Eh?"
"What?" Shizuo looked at him.
He began tinkering with his control panels.
"What's wrong?" Shizuo stood.
"The shields aren't activating."
"What?" Kadota unfastened his seat belt.
Kadota and Shizuo rushed to the panel. Togusa was pressing buttons left and right, putting in commands codes.
"What do you mean the shields won't activate?" Shizuo asked. "We had maintenance check on them!"
"I mean the shields won't activate!" Togusa growled. "Look!"
Togusa flicked three twitches then pushed the red button next to it. The small display screen above it flashed, saying, 'Error: Unable to Activate'. He then clicked more buttons and another few switches. Once done, he hit the same switches and button. The display screen said, 'Error: Unable to Activate'.
"Someone check the shield generators!" Kadota yelled.
"What did those idiots do?!" Shizuo growled before rushing to the elevator.
Izaya implanted the device—a device designed to disrupt electrical currents, forcing the machine to short circuit. The wires around the device began to spark. Izaya closed the panel. He stood and slammed his heel against it. Using the force to enhance his kick, the metal creaked. He did it again until it caved in ever so slight. He then gave it a tug, showing himself that the panel was jammed. He couldn't open it.
He then reached his hand up and gripped some of the small metal pipes with the force. They ripped out of the wall and came down, steam hissing forth. He then guided them over the panel and pushed the pipes into the metal around it. He used the force to push them in deep, deep enough that it certainly damaged anything inside and would certainly damage more if yanked out.
He smiled in triumph.
'Alright, lets get out of here.'
The raven rushed out of the door. The metal slid open automatically, in which Izaya waved his hand up at the door mechanism above. He then clenched his fist shut. The device sparked before turning from green to red—indicating the door was broken and needed to be opened manually. With that done, Izaya ran down the hall away from the elevator.
'Now to get to the escape pods.'
Izaya turned on the locator on his belt. He then took it off and put it in his shirt. He hooked it to the side of his shirt, under his arm so that—in case of capture—they probably wouldn't find it. Of course, that was unless they wanted to do a strip search. However, Izaya doubted they would.. He then pulled out his holovid and went to the navigator.
'We're not that far off from Alderaan now. I've got to get there quick.'
He pocketed the device and looked ahead. His shoes clattered against the ground loudly, which annoyed him. He paused in his tracks to pull the loud things off, along with his socks. Once off, he simply held them in his hand. He'd get rid of them in a minute.
His bare feet pattered softly against the metal as he made his way down the hall.
The elevator beeped a moment before the doors opened. The irate blond rushed out and ran towards the shield generator room. Upon his arrival, the door didn't open. He growled to see the red light on above the door—showing the door the inactive.
'What the hell? The shields are down and the doors broken?! There's no fucking way the maintenance crew would have fucked up this bad!'
He clenched his teeth.
'Was there a spy among them? No, that can't be. Lord Malgus orchestrated this supply run. He wouldn't have enacted a mission that would get this sloppy this bad. Did Lord Malgus betray us?'
Rage started to bubble in Shizuo's chest.
'Is this my test? Is this where I'm supposed to kill someone close to me? Did he set up one of my crewmates to sabotage the ship? One of my trusted friends? My brother?'
Shizuo closed his eyes tight shut and clenched his teeth hard enough to hurt them. The rage only grew. Hot and festering, he needed to let it go the only way he knew how. He yelled as loud as his lunges could muster and punched the door.
Izaya jolted as he heard a roar come from down the hall. Following closely after it was a loud bang of breaking metal.
'What the hell was that?!'
Izaya's eyes stretched wide as a chill of fear went down his spine.
'Did they have some kind of beast on their ship?! Do they have a Tuk'ata?! Or one of those Terentatek things?!'
Izaya had never seen the fable beasts. But he knew they were native to Korriban, so it was entirely possible they brought the red-skinned animal on the ship as a security measure.
'Let's not stick around to find out.'
Izaya bolted.
The door creaked under Shizuo's hand before he pulled his fist out. The metal door definitely wouldn't open now. It would have to be broken off, which would be easy for Shizuo to do.
However, he didn't. Because he heard something.
It was a very slight sound, barely audible, but he could have sworn he heard the pitter-patter of feet running down the hall. He looked, but of course there was no one there. As far as he could tell, he was alone.
'Maybe not.'
Shizuo ran down as fast as he could, turning the corner. He didn't see anyone else, but he could still hear said person.
'Everyone else was at the cockpit. There was no way they got down here and I didn't hear the elevator ding. So maybe...Maybe this isn't a test. Maybe I'm just thinking the worst about my lord.'
Shizuo's eyes narrowed.
'Maybe it wasn't a traitor. But an honest to the force spy in general.'
Shizuo clenched his teeth.
'How could a Republic spy get on the ship unnoticed? We only made one stop this whole trip and it was at maintenance dock. He had to have gotten on then, but when? How? How did a Republic spy get that deep into Sith space?'
Shizuo didn't have the answer to that. But he would if he found the bastard. So, with that decided, he gave chase.
'Ah, shit!'
Izaya glowered as he pumped his arms harder, forcing himself to go faster. He could here the loud footfalls of someone in boots following him.
'Shit, shit, shit! They already came down to check on the shields! And they brought a beast with them. They were ready for this!'
Izaya waved a hand at a door, forcing the door open and rushed inside. He used the force to close it quickly and looked up. He didn't care what room he entered. He cared if there was a vent—which there was. He tossed his shoes under a desk and jolted his hand towards the vent. The metal slammed up before clattering into the metal crawlspace. He jumped up far more quietly. With ease, he pulled himself up and quickly put the grate back in place.
A moment later, the door opened. Izaya held his breath. In walked the blond Sith he met earlier.
'Shizu-chan.'
Just Shizuo. There was no beast with him.
'Fuck, whatever monster he brought must be trained. It can go off on its own.'
Izaya glowered.
'That means I have two eyes to hide from. Dammit.'
Izaya watched the blond through the grate. Shizuo, on the other hand, was looking around the room.
Shizuo knew he saw this door close as he rounded the corner. He knew something went in here. However, upon arrival there was no one. He quickly looked around. There was only one place to hide and that was under a desk, so he duck down to check. Indeed, there wasn't a person there. However, there was a pair of shoes. Black combat boots.
His eyes immediately narrowed.
'A red herring.' The blond thought in realization.
Shizuo grabbed the boots. He tied the laces together, then tied it to his belt.
'He won't be able to blend in with the crew now. Gotta keep looking for him.'
Shizuo left the room and pulled out his intercom.
"Kasuka!"
There was a soft crackle before a voice was heard. "Did you fix the shields?"
"No, send someone else down to fix them. There's a stowaway on the ship."
"What?! Who?!" Walker's voice came through the transmitter. "A Republic spy?"
"I can only assume. He's somewhere on the ship. He tossed out his shoes, so look for anyone barefoot. We're on red alert."
"Understood. What are your orders, brother?"
'Brother?' Izaya's eyes widened. 'He has a brother?'
"Togusa-san and Walker-san will remain on the deck. The last thing we need is this bastard making it to the control panel. Stop our approach to Aalderan if you can. Kadota, come down and fix the shield generator. Tom-san, Kasuka, come help me find this bastard. He's still on the fifth floor."
"On our way." Kasuka said. "Are we shooting to kill?"
"Shouldn't we?"
"Shizuo, this is Tom. I think we should try and take him alive. If he's a Republic spy, then that means we have a mole who let him in."
Shizuo's eyes narrowed. 'If we take him in alive, he'll be tortured...'
Images flashed behind Shizuo's eyes. Memories. Terrible memories of the young Jedi girl. Screaming, withering in her bindings, bleeding and her flesh sizzling. Such a thing, Malgus wanted to show Shizuo the enemy wasn't strong, but all it did was unnerve the young apprentice. He didn't want to see that again. He didn't want to see someone else go through that.
"Shizuo?" Tom's voice broke Shizuo out of his thoughts.
"Yeah. I'm here." Shizuo held the intercom to his mouth. "Just...do what you need to do. If we can't catch him alive, then don't. Your lives come before some Republic scum's."
"...Understood. We'll be there soon."
"Alright. Be careful!"
"Will do."
Shizuo pocketed the intercom and left the room.
Finally alone, Izaya let out a breath of relief. He then looked up then behind him. He could go either way, but the path in front of him led up, whereas he needed to go down to the launch bay. So, he crawled backwards through the vents, moving as silently as he could. The metal creaked every time he put his knees down, so he decided to stop crawling and start crouch walking. It was hard on the thighs, but it was better than being found.
'So, I've been discovered. I've got to get to the escape pods now.'
Izaya came to the end of the vent, where his only options were up and down. Izaya looked up.
'The pods were on the bottom floor towards the back. I can get to them through the elevator.'
Izaya turned himself around, so he could go feet first. He could certainly just drop down and land softly with the use of the force. But he also didn't know how far down the vent would go, nor did he know if there was a fan at the end of it to chop at his feet. What's more, he didn't know if any of the Sith were trying to feel through the force in an attempt to find him. If he used the force, they may be able to pinpoint his position.
With that in mind, it was best to take it slow. Holding onto the ledge, he swung one foot behind him to the far wall and pressed the other to closest wall. He sat suspended between the two walls for a moment before he lowered himself.
His next movement was to move his feet together to touch the same wall and slam his back against the far wall. The metal popped, echoing down the vent shaft. He cringed and waited. There was no indication anyone heard him, which gave Izaya confidence that the metal in the wall was actually quite thick and he didn't have to worry at all about being heard. With better control, he slid further down until he could force his shoulders against the wall.
The pressure on his back and feet were now the only thing keeping him up. He put his hands out against the walls on his right and left. Now that he was as situated as he was going to be, he shimmied his way down the vent.
'I can't get to the elevator even if I wanted to. They're bound to be expecting me to go that route. And with the potential of a beast on their side, I've got to go the unconventional way.'
Izaya huffed as he slide inch by inch down the shaft.
'Sith hounds are resistance to the force, so I won't be able to disorient it or charm it. And they're poisonous. My only option is to kill it. Now that its got my scent, I have to deal with it. I'm already exposed anyway, so there won't be consequences for killing the beast. But if I can avoid it entirely, that would be the better option.'
Every apply of pressure he gave made the metal pop under his feet, his hands, and his back. However, he wasn't concerned about being found. The metal was thick. There was little possibility someone would hear him from the other side. He had time to take it slow
But hear him someone did. That someone being Shizuo. The blond Sith paused in the hallway, trying to decide if he was going to go left or right. However, instead of deciding anything, he heard something. He paused as he heard the faint sound of metal popping. Shizuo recognized it as someone pushing on metal. But he wasn't sure where it came from. He looked around himself for a moment, straining his ears to try and pinpoint the noise.
He realized it came from the wall on this right.
'He's in the vents!' Shizuo's eyes stretched wide with realization. 'That's why his shoes were there!'
Shizuo turned to the wall, teeth clenched and eyes wide with rage. He pulled his fist back in a mighty swing.
A moment later, the metal wall on Izaya's left caved in. The raven couldn't withhold the call of surprise as the steel bent like paper before it tore away. A hand ripped through. Izaya's eyes stretched wide, shock freezing him in place for a moment. That hand touched his arm.
Shizuo, realizing he touched something that shouldn't be there, reached around wildly to try and grab it. The enraged Sith felt fabric under his hand.
Whoever it was grabbed the chest of Izaya's coat. The raven only had a second to respond. He raised his arms above his head and brought his feet down—allowing himself to free fall down the vent shaft while subsequently taking his coat off.
Shizuo felt the shift in movement and the fabric in his hand suddenly became light. He pulled his hand back out, and within his clutches was a black trench coat. A trench coat he recognized.
'Where have I seen this before?'
He brought the clothes to his nose and sniffed. He recognized the scent as well. However, he couldn't put a face to it.
'Goddammit!'
Shizuo threw the coat away. He didn't care to sit there and ponder. If he went after the bastard, he would see his face soon enough! The blond grabbed the edges of the hole he made in the metal and pulled. The metal creaked as Shizuo ripped it apart. He pulled then pushed. The hand-sized hole became a man-sized hole in seconds. He looked down the vent, but saw nothing but darkness.
Meanwhile, Izaya had slide down the entire ventilation shaft. He had no choice but to use the force to soften his descent. Sneaking was out the window now. His position was completely exposed, so he just needed to run before the Sith Hound found him. He couldn't fight that kind of beast in such a cramp space. So, he had had no qualms using the force, although his rump still hurt from his landing.
"Ow..." The raven groaned.
The raven looked around him. It was pitch black, however, there was light from the obvious hole that had been made. He could see the light shining down, which meant no one was coming. Yet. He decided it was best not to wait and see if that changed. He wasn't really sure where he was, but a quick feel around and he found an opening in front of him. He shimmied himself through. The sentinel had to go feet first since he didn't have much room to maneuver, but he was able to move quick enough.
Good thing too, since less than 20 seconds later, something heavy landed in the vent he just left. His jolted, tilting his head back to see. It was still pitch black. He could see nothing. But he was not sticking around to see what it was.
He shimmied further and further down the vent until his feet touched a grate. He put his hand between his leg and flared his fingers wide. The force pushed the grate out, clattering loudly.
Shizuo heard that. He heard metal clatter by his feet. He couldn't see anything, so he swung his foot out to feel a vent about shin level in front of him. He crouched down and crawled through head first. He was not quiet at all as his armor clattered against the metal, nor was it easy for him to maneuver since it was a very small space and he was not a small person.
'The spy has to be fucking scrawny. Did they send a kid?!'
Izaya heard something big coming through the vent. The raven wasted no time getting out, falling a small distance onto a crate into what looked like the storage deck. The lights were dim and it was very cold. Either this was the refrigerator portion of the deck or they didn't bother putting heaters down here. Izaya didn't know, nor care. His main concern was getting out of there. Fast.
The sentinel shivered and hugged himself before he dropped down from the box. He looked around himself, looking specifically for a door. There were so many crates and so little room that Izaya couldn't see the way out. However, he couldn't hold still. He ran into the depths of the storage room, getting thoroughly lost in the maze before whatever beast could come after him.
Shizuo came out of the vent right as Izaya rounded the boxes. The blond put his hands out and did a summersault out of the small hole. It wasn't that he wanted to but it was the only thing he could do to get out. He sat on the edge of the box, staring over the storage room. There was no one in sight.
'Where'd you go, you son of a bitch? He couldn't have gotten out already.'
"Shizuo!"His intercom screeched, Togusa's voice coming through.
He glowered at it before pulling it out of his pocket and holding the button down. "What?"
"We've got a problem."
"Yeah?" Shizuo hopped off the box. "What else is new?"
"We can't stop. We're too close to Aalderan to go dead in the water with no shields. We've officially entered Republic space. If we stop now, we're screwed."
"We're screwed either or way if we don't get the shields up!" Shizuo yelled.
"We're working on it!" Kadota's voice came through. "The spy broke the hatch to the wiring!"
"Well, get it open and fix it quick! At this rate, we're going to hit Aalderan in a few minutes with no shields!"
"Brother," Kasuka's voice came through. "I think we should abandon ship."
"What?! No!"
Izaya peaked around the boxes, seeing the blond Sith he met earlier. Just the blond Sith.
'Where's his beast?' Izaya wondered.
"This supply run is vital to winning Aalderan!" Shizuo yelled into the intercom. "Lord Malgus will have our heads if we don't do everything we can!"
"We've done everything we can!" Walker called. "Unless Dota-chin can get that hatch open in two seconds, we're going to die!"
"Use a vibro-knife!"
"I don't have a vibro-knife!" Kadota yelled.
"Then use your saber!"
"And snap the wires on the other side?!"
"Then use the goddamn force!"
"Don't you think I already tried that?!"
"And it did nothing?!"
"He jammed metal around the hatch! If we pull them out, it's going to break the wiring anyway!"
"Well, what do you want us to do?!"
"Brother." Kasuka's voice came through calmly. "We need to abandon ship. We're the only ones onboard, so it won't take long to evacuate. If we're lucky, the spy will die by his own undoing."
Shizuo paused. Then scoffed. "No doubt those Republic dogs sent someone who was fine pulling a kamikaze."
'Yeah, that's what you think.' Izaya chuckled inwardly, so he didn't make a noise. 'If I do my part right, I'm going to be the only one getting off this ship.'
Shizuo let out a sigh. "Alright, fine. Everyone, get to the docking bay."
Everyone gave a different response of confirmation over the intercom. Izaya was prepared to run away and hide behind another pile of crates. However, Shizuo didn't even look in his general direction. Instead, he turned right to go down the small isle between the boxes there. It was obvious the blond knew where he was going as he made his way to the door.
Izaya watched him go. Then grinned.
'That's right.' The sentinel thought. 'Lead the way. Without your beast, you're an easy target. Once you get me out of this storage room, I'll just knock you out and leave you here.'
Izaya, being as quiet as he could, followed him. He kept a fair distance away from the Sith so as not to alarm suspicion. The raven was truly surprised that the blond seemed to have forgotten the fact that he was chasing someone earlier and that was the whole reason he was down here. Izaya was suspicious, of course, but he wasn't going to complain. At the base of it all, he wouldn't have to find the exit if he had an idiot to lead the way for him. And while he was at it, he could continue to eavesdrop on the conversation.
"We'll get shot down by any Republic fleet that spots our escape pods." Shizuo said.
"Fighter's are out as well." Kadota said.
"There's my Interceptor!" Togusa yelled.
"Interceptors? Those aren't very fast. We need a quick escape here!"
"Don't underestimate my baby! She's ugly, but she flies better than any starfighter!"
Shizuo didn't understand why he was getting heated, but he also didn't care. 'Fuck it. Whatever works, I guess.'
"Fine." Shizuo said. "Togusa, set the ship to autopilot. Best case scenario, maybe it'll take out a few Republic ships on its way down."
"Got it."
'So,' Izaya thought, 'I need to get to this interceptor before they do. They weren't wrong about the escape pods getting taken out. Even I can't risk using one. Only the fleet knows I'm on the ship. Any other Republic ships are going to shoot me down.'
Shizuo pocketed his communicator. Izaya quietly trailed behind, keeping a good distance away from the Sith. Shizuo then broke out into a run. Izaya glowered at that, as he had no choice but to also run. Although it wasn't annoying, he wasn't too worried about being found out. The idiot Sith really seemed to have forgotten he was tracking Izaya as he ran without a care. So, obviously, Izaya wasn't his top priority, so he wouldn't be looking behind him. Besides, he was still keeping his distance and he was barefoot, after all. His footfalls were quiet.
But not quiet enough. Shizuo hadn't forgotten the reason he came down there. He was fully aware there was a dangerous stowaway somewhere in the storage deck. However, his priority was no longer on that stowaway. As Kasuka had said, if things went right the spy will die by his own evil acts. Although Shizuo found that fucked up, to be killed by his own people, he couldn't worry about other people right now. He doubted this man would be able to take him out, so all he needed to do was get to his brother.
However, just because he decided not to look for him, didn't mean he wasn't fully aware that he could be anywhere and may just try something shady. So, even though he ran with a purpose, he was still listening, still looking around while keeping his head straight. And Shizuo always had better ears than most. So, the soft pitter-patter behind him sounded loud and clear, even over the pounding stomping of his own boots.
'He's following me, the bastard!' Shizuo's eyes narrowed. His heart began to hammer with growing rage. 'Little fucker, he thinks he can just follow me and I wouldn't notice?! How stupid does he think I am?! Little shit! Little fuck! I'll show you!'
Shizuo picked up the pace, pumping his arms harder to lengthen his stride. The spy didn't keep up. Izaya couldn't keep up, else he'd be found out. So, he unfortunately had to follow behind just a tad more than he already was.
The blond rounded a bend of boxes. Izaya paused to let him get far enough away then rounded as well.
However, Shizuo was ready and waiting. Or more so, he was ready and armed. Izaya's eyes stretched wide as a metal crate came flying at him. No amount of force-assistance premonition was going to help him dodge that.
'He knew I was following him?!' Izaya thought in shock. 'HOW?!'
He only had time to turn his body, so it didn't hit him square in the face.
The metal slammed into him hard. His shoulder cracked under the impact and he called out in pain as he was sent flying back. He flew across the small isle to the wall of boxes a few feet away. His right side slammed into the wooden crates—the homing beacon in his shirt digging into his ribs. There was so much power behind the collision that the wood caved in around him. He landed in a pile of fruit that were crushed under his weight. He didn't know what nor really cared to figure out what kind of fruit. No, he didn't have time to worry about it. In the next second, the crate that hit him landed on top of him. His head hit metal, his chest was crushed. The wind was knocked from his lungs while his vision went black.
Shizuo glared down at the barefoot individual. All he could see was the persons feet and black pants since the crate sat on top of him.
"Little bastard." Shizuo snarled before yelling. "You trying to get everyone on this ship killed! You're trying to get my brother killed! I'LL NEVER FORGIVE YOU, YOU JEDI SCUM!"
There was no response. Red seeped around the box at an alarming rate. Shizuo's eyes stretched wide.
'Wait, did I kill him?'
Panic began to seep in. He didn't mean to crush him to death! Even if he wanted to kill the bastard, he didn't want his death to be unnecessarily painful! A strike of a lightsaber was quick and simultaneous. Getting your organs crushed, not so much!
Shizuo rushed over quickly. He grabbed the crate, the metal warped from his grip on it, and lifted. His eyes stretched wide to see the face he was not expecting.
"Kanra?" Shizuo voiced.
The raven didn't respond. His eyes were closed and his face peaceful.
The blond threw the box away and knelt down. He reached his bare hand out to hold it under the raven's nose. He was breathing. Shizuo let out a sigh of relief. Upon closer inspection, he noticed a bunch of fruit around the raven. The fruits were bleeding red juice. Now the blond felt ridiculous for worrying.
"Hey." Shizuo tapped the side of his face.
There was no response.
'He's out cold...Well, I did just hit him with a metal crate full of stuff.'
Shizuo stared down at him. His hand reflexively reached for his lightsaber.
'If I take him with me, he's going to be tortured to death. Even if he talks, it won't end there...'
Shizuo grabbed the cold metal, but hesitated. That peaceful face was making it hard to do what he needed. Just a few hours ago, that face was smiling at him, acting like a friend instead of reflexively fearing him.
'It was just one conversation. I can't be soft now.'
He pulled the lightsaber off his belt.
'This is a mercy. This—'
Shizuo didn't get time do anything else as something rattled the ship hard. The whole storage room tilted enough that the blond had to dig his feet in to keep himself planted. He wrapped his arm around the unconscious spy tightly to keep him from rolling away. The other arm he put out to push away any crates that were sliding towards them.
"Brother, where are you?!" Kasuka's voice came through the communicator in his pocket, loud and shrill. Any other time he would have been shocked to hear his calm brother yell, but obviously now was not the time to worry about that. "We've reached Alderaan!"
WE'RE BACK BABY! -KCK
WE'RE BACK FROM OUTER SPACE! - MorningStar
So, we've been gone mostly because I (KCK) have been busy with a lot of stories. Its in the bio above, but I basically started writing 9 stories, and drawing 3 comics, as well as translating Durarara doujins. So, needless to say, I gave myself a full schedule with little room for anything else. Finally got that 9 down to 5 (not counting CaL and CaH) and I'm close to getting another few done, so less to work on. Yay!
I can't guarantee that this'll continue having steady updates, but dammit all if I won't try! -KCK
I can't promise anything since KCK's the one writing everything and I'm more of her editor/corrector since I know the star wars lore. XD But we'll see what the future holds. ~MorningStar~
