Chapter 22: Spirit of the Wild
After hearing his master reminding him, of what would happen if he did not go back into battle, and help the Akuma he had helped to create, Reptile tried to set himself free. Without his switchblade near him, he was forced to use his own teeth, to bit his way out of that situation he had ended up in. Biting off the cables, he could taste the mixed flavour of copper, plastic and other horrible things, with his tongue. It took him more than a minute to do it, but he managed to free himself. Once freed, he fell on his face. He was still weak, but was hoping the rage inside him, would help him get back up on his feet. Appealing to that same rage, picturing the one who had left him like that, bruised, broken and bleeding on the ground, Reptile picked himself up and wasted no time in looking for his switchblade. He knew the direction Antelope had thrown it, but did not know where it had landed, so it took him a full minute to find it. Grabbing it, he took a couple of seconds to look at it, as if he was greeting an old friend.
"I can't fail master Hawk Moth. I'm going to kill those kids, one way or another." -Reptile declared, as he opened his switchblade. –"And I'm going to start with that Antelope brat! He's going to regret what he did to me" -he hissed, as he readied himself to go back into battle. –"I'm coming for you, little antelope."
After being hurled through the air by Screamer, both Flamingo and Corbeau Noire ended up in opposite sides of the stadium's cover. Hitting against the hard concrete, the girls saw stars for a moment. Feeling like they had been used as a throwing ball, the two of them quickly got back up and flew towards one another, worried that the other could be injured.
"Are you okay?" -Corbeau Noire asked the blonde.
"I'm okay. What about you?" -Flamingo asked her girlfriend.
"I think I'm okay, as well. But I wonder if Alix is alright." -Corbeau Noire answered, when they heard an explosion. Looking down, she and Flamingo saw that Screamer had begun to throw fire balls at everything that moved. –"Let's go, before any of the others end up barbecued." -she said, as she began to dive.
"Indeed." -Flamingo said, as she dove, while thinking about Dragonfly. –"I sure hope Alix is alright." -she told the raven heroine.
"I hope so too. That burn looked really bad." –Corbeau Noire said, hoping their friend was alright.
Down at ground level, things were even more chaotic than a minute before. The crowd was getting restless, and was beginning to try and climb over the energy barrier, forcing Louve Grise to use her ice powers to make the barrier taller, by creating a second barrier on top of the first one, this one made out of slippery ice. Screamer had taken an interest on Queen Bee and Panda Roux, who had managed to punch him square in the face, and was now chasing them, while the rest of the team also engaged him in combat. Looking around, they did not see any sign of Dragonfly. But because they did not see Carapace either, they were hoping that he was with her.
"Can't see her, nor Nino." -Flamingo said.
"I don't see Ivan, either." -Corbeau Noire said, when she heard another explosion, which sent pieces of shrapnel in her direction. –"Crud! This was a close one!" -she said. –"We better split."
"I agree. I'll go help the others, while you help Sabrina… she looks like she could use a little bit of help."
"Understood." -Corbeau Noire smiled at her. –"Be careful, Rose." -she told her girlfriend.
"You too, Juleka." -Flamingo winked at her.
Louve Grise had managed to make the energy barrier taller, by putting an ice barrier on top of it. But because the energy barrier was spread around the whole stage, it was taking her too long to make it taller, and she was beginning to feel her lungs burning up from the strain he was putting on them.
"Need some help?" -the raven heroine asked Louve, as she landed next to her.
"If you can get me up there, for a little bit, that would be awesome." -Louve Grise sighed, out of relief. –"Nathaniel's the one who would be the best person to do this with his powers, but the Akuma decided to make him and Chloe, his personal targets, so I decided to do something about this, before the crowd manages to jump over and attack us." -she explained.
"What about Nino?" -Corbeau Noire asked her. –"This barrier is his doing. He's the one more indicated for the job." -she pointed out.
"He's currently tending to Alix. Kim rushed towards her, to see if she was alright, and then came back to get Nin, so he could help her." -Louve said, as Corbeau Noire lift her. –"Okay, hover like that and then go left, but slowly, so I can finish this ice barrier.
"Alright."
At the same time, as Corbeau Noire and Louve Grise were taking care of raising the barrier, hidden among the debris of what was once a tent, Carapace was examining Dragonfly, who was on the floor lying on her back. After getting the turtle hero, Antelope helped him carry her to that place, where they believed Screamer would not be able to find them. As Carapace examined her, Antelope was on the lookout for any trouble that might come their way.
"Things aren't looking good." -Antelope thought to himself, as he kept watch.
"That's a nasty burn, I'll give you that." -Carapace told Dragonfly, as he examined her leg. –"I hate to ask you this, but can you move your leg?" -he asked her. –"I'm asking this, because I want to make sure you don't have a broken bone, or you're suffering from compartment syndrome."
"Y-Yeah, I can move it. It just hurts a lot, because of the burn. Ever since you began to watch Grey Anatomy's and Nina, and learning all those medical terms, that you're way pickier than any doctor I know." -Dragonfly joked, as she moved her leg and her foot. –"D-Dang it! Please, don't make me move my leg. It hurts like Hell!" -she told him, while trying not to shed a couple of tears out of pain.
"It's okay… From what I see, it's just bruised and burned." -Carapace said, as he continued to examine her.
"Can you fix her?" -Antelope asked him.
"Sure. I can heal these bruises and burns in a flash, and the leg will be good as new. But if you want my opinion, I wouldn't go back into the battlefield." -Carapace said, as he placed his hands over his friend's upper leg, beginning to heal her.
"Why not?" -Dragonfly asked him, not understanding why he was telling her that.
"Like I said, this is a nasty burn. Your outfit protected you, but these are still some 2nd degree burns. If you want this to heal properly, until the end of the night, so it doesn't leave you with any scars, you should stand still, for as long as you can." -Carapace explained to her, as he continued to make use of his healing powers.
"Fine." -Dragonfly sighed, annoyed. More than anyone else, she wanted another shot at Screamer. But deep down, she knew that what the turtle hero was telling her was true, and she did not want to end up with any scars on her leg. –"I'll stay."
"And you should keep her company." -Carapace told Antelope.
"Me? Why?"
"Because we don't leave anyone who has been injured by themselves, that's why. You know the rules, Kim." -Carapace said. –"If one of us is injured, or recovering from a major attack, he or she needs to stay accompanied, in case something comes up." -he reminded him. –"I would stay, but I think I'll be more helpful in the battlefield. Plus, you also have that injured shoulder, so…"
"Fine, I'll stay with her, and keep her safe." -Antelope sighed.
Panda Roux was hit by one of the fire balls, and if not for timely response of both Chat Noir and Ladybug, he would have been turned into a pile of ashes. Taking advantage of Queen Bee's taunting, which made Screamer focus on her, the scarlet heroine and the feline hero grabbed the panda hero and took him behind a pile of debris, so they could check on him.
"That was a close one." -Ladybug said, as she looked at Panda Roux. –"A little longer, and we would probably be talking to a roasted corpse." -she said with a serious tone.
"You can say that again." -Panda sighed, relieved. –"I'm really out of my game tonight." -he admitted.
"Don't say that, Nathaniel." -Ladybug told him. –"It's not your fault. It's this guy that is way stronger than any of us had anticipated." -she said, as she checked him for any injuries. –"I guess that other than a couple of scratches, you look okay."
"That's a relief." -Panda sighed. –"Still, my shoulder is going to hurt like Hell in the morning." -he commented, as he rubbed his left shoulder.
"I think we will all feel sore in the morning. And I'm beginning to think that one of my Cataclysm Bombs would be enough to put that guy out of commission, the same way it happened with Hot Tamale the other day." -Chat Noir declared. –"Unfortunately, I don't think I've got enough juice in me to do that, without fainting right after." -he told her. –"Still, I think I still have enough strength in me, for us to try the Samson and Delilah manoeuvre, if you think it's wise."
"Samson and Delilah? It's a bit risky. But if you think you still have the strength in you, I'm not against it. We just need two things. We need Chloe to keep him busy a little longer, and we're going to need to cool down those chains he has, so we can grab them, or even place other chains around his arms and then, keep him restrained. –Ladybug said, as she began to imagine the whole plan in her head. –"Tell the others about it, and warn Chloe to keep our Akuma friend busy for another minute or two. While you do that, Nathaniel will create some chains we can use, won't you?" -she asked Panda Roux, who nodded his head.
"Will do, bugaboo." -Chat Noir winked at her.
"And one more thing, be careful. This guy is clearly not holding back." -Ladybug told him, slightly worried.
"I will, like always." -Chat winked once again, before leaping out of there.
Samson and Delilah, was yet another manoeuvre the heroes had come up with, during one of their training sessions. It basically got his name from the biblical tale with the same name. In the tale, Samson was chained to the Temple of Dagon, preventing him from moving. In this manoeuvre, the Akuma was to have chains wrapped around his arms, then have them stretched, so he was held tight by the strongest heroes, making it impossible for him to move, while Chat Noir unleashed several punches, loaded with his trademark Cataclysm, which would knock him out. Given that he was beginning to feel tired, those Cataclysms would be less powerful than usual, but the feline hero believed they would still pack enough force in them to end all that.
Avoiding every fire ball or sonic scream that came towards his direction, Chat Noir notified everyone about what they were going to do. The last one he told about was Queen Bee, when he saved her from getting roasted by a fire ball, that Screamer had fired against her, when she momentarily her back on him.
"Think you can hold him for a bit longer?" -Chat Noir asked the blonde.
"It's getting a little hard to keep dodging everything that he throws at me, but I can keep him occupied a few more minutes." -Queen Bee said. –"Just don't take too long. And thanks for the saving!" -she smiled at him.
"My pleasure." -Chat winked at the bee heroine, as he left her to deal with Screamer.
"Hey, idiot! If you dare to burn this outfit, or my hair, I swear to you, you're going to regret messing with me!" -Queen Bee taunted the Akuma.
"You've got a lot of nerve to talk to me like that, you insolent brat! I'll show you what the power of rock can do to an insignificant little insect like you!" -Screamer said, as he let out another powerful sonic scream, while playing his guitar.
And as Queen Bee continued to mock him, the rest of the heroes began to position themselves, to carry out the Samson and Delilah manoeuvre. A smarter Akuma would have noticed that something was wrong, when seeing himself fighting no one else but one of the heroes. But Screamer was so absorbed into his solo duel against the bee heroine, that he hardly noticed what was happening around him. Once everyone was in place, Ladybug signalled them to begin. Queen Bee threw her trompo at Screamer's hands, hitting them and forcing him to release his guitar, after which, Louve Grise showed up and used her icy breath to freeze Screamer's hands and forearms, covering them in a thick layer of ice. A second later, and before he could react, Arachnid wrapped his lasso around Screamer's right arm, and Panda Roux wrapped the chains he had created, around the left arm. Once that was done, both sides pulled. On the left, were Louve Grise, Flamingo, Rena Rouge, Queen Bee and Panda Roux, while on the right, were Arachnid, Grizzly Bear, Forest Doe, Carapace and Corbeau Noire. Combining their strengths, they made sure that no matter how hard he tried, Screamer would be able to move.
"Hold him down!" -Chat Noir said, as he landed in front of Screamer.
Seeing himself restrained, and unable to move his arms, Screamer tried to use one of his sonic screams to blast the heroes away, starting with Chat Noir, only for Ladybug to approach him from behind, and wrap her yo-yo's string around his neck, while practically gluing herself to his back. Tightening the grip on Screamer's throat, the scarlet heroine was not going to let him say a single syllable, even if that meant choking him.
"Don't even think about it, bonehead!" -Ladybug exclaimed, as she tightened the string around Screamer's neck. –"Chat! He's all yours!" -she told Chat Noir.
"It's time to bring down the curtains on you, Screamer! Cataclysm!" -Chat Noir exclaimed.
With his fists surrounded by a dark aura, Chat Noir began to hit Screamer in the face and on the stomach, just as if they were in a boxing match. Feeling every one of his punches, Screamer felt just how powerful Chat's Cataclysm was. In his mind, he compared it to what he believed would be to be a gunshot at point-blank range. Each blow to his body made him feel weaker, but at the same time, it made him madder with rage. Restrained like that, unable to move his arms and his legs, all of it was making him feel angrier by the minute. He knew that all he needed was to let out a sonic scream, and Chat Noir and his friends would be blown away. Unfortunately, he was not able to even utter a word, due to have having Ladybug practically glued to him, holding him from behind and having her yo-yo's string around his throat, choking him. He could imagine her, smirking as she made it impossible for him utter a single word, and that just gave him another reason to get out of that situation and destroy the her and the rest of the Miraculous Heroes. Without much thought, he did the only thing that came to his mind, and that was to throw his head back, and hit Ladybug in the face. When he did it, the pain forced the scarlet heroine to let go of the yo-yo, as she landed on her back, with her hands over her nose, which was bleeding.
"Time for an encore!" -Screamer thought to himself.
Without the yo-yo's string around his throat, Screamer went on the attack, shouting as hard and as high as he could, letting a powerful sonic scream. Taking the sonic scream directly to the face, Chat Noir was tossed into the air, before landing hard on the ground. And a second later, the rest of the heroes were given the same treatment. The ones that were holding the chains on the left side, ended up being hurled into the air, just like it happened with Chat. As for the ones holding the chains on the right side, they were slightly luckier, as Carapace had just enough time to create an energy shield, which took most of the impact from Screamer's attack.
"Too close for my taste." -Carapace said.
"You and me. I don't know where this guy is getting his energy from, but I wouldn't mind knowing." -Arachnid commented. –"We're getting more exhausted by the minute, while he's just getting stronger." -she said.
"It's true. At this rate, we'll be too exhausted to fight. And if Screamer doesn't get us, the crowd will." -Forest Doe said, as she looked at the crowd through the energy barrier that Carapace had created around the stage area. –"They're getting more restless, and that's not good." -she said.
"I'm afraid you're right. And if we have to deal with them as well, we might not be able to win this. I'll use my trump card and end this." -Grizzly Bear declared.
(Flashback)
On that day, Grizzly Bear was on fire. Not only he had managed to score an A, on his recovery Math exam, but he was also showing a renewed enthusiasm on the training he was doing with the rest of the team, in part thanks to Master Fu, who suggested they all fought against one specific opponent. And that opponent turned out to be Grizzly, who volunteered to be it. He had managed to defeat five of his teammates, and he was wondering who would be the next one, and how long it would take him to defeat, whoever decided to face him.
"Come on, who's next?" -Grizzly asked, as Max left the ring.
"Don't you want to take a break? You earned a couple of minutes, to at least drink water." -Master Fu asked him.
"No, thanks, master. I'm still good." -Grizzly said. –"Come on, who's next? Adrien? Sabrina? Alix? Who wants to go next?" -he asked, his voice filled with enthusiasm.
"I am next." -Forest Doe smiled, as she entered the ring. –"And I'm sorry to disappoint you, Ivan, but your winning streak ends with me." -she smirked at him.
"Don't think I'll go easy on you, Mylene." -Grizzly told her.
"Did you hear me asking you to go easy?" -Forest Doe asked him, as she made four arrows appear out of thin air and placed them on her bow, ready to fire them.
"Oh, you're going on the offensive from the start, huh? Okay… I wouldn't start that way, but that's me." -Grizzly said, as he readied himself
Firing the arrows against Grizzly Bear, he dodged them, deflecting the last one with his brass knuckles. After that, he charged against Doe, who somersaulted over him, kicking him in the back with her right foot, before landing on the ground. Grizzly was forced to lean backwards, so he would not fall on his face. Turning around, he saw the doe heroine looking at him.
"I'm thinking you're holding back, because you don't want to hurt me." -Forest Doe told him. –"Come on! Came at me, with everything you've got. Don't be afraid of breaking a rib or two. I'm just as strong as you are, and I'm also incredibly resistant." -she told him, challenging him.
"Alright, but then don't tell me I didn't warn you." -Grizzly told her.
"Go get her, Ivan!" -Carapace said.
"Show him that girls are way better than boys, Mylene!" -Flamingo exclaimed.
Not holding back, Grizzly charged once more against Forest Doe, who was forced to dodge his first attack, by using her bow. Blow after blow, the holder of the bear miraculous saw that unlike what had happened with the other heroes, defeating Doe was going to take a little more out of him. Trying to hit her, she continued to dodge his attacks. It did not take long for him to realize that if he was going to have to be faster than her and her arrows, and he knew that that was not going to happen. But what he lacked in speed, he made up for in strength, which he made use for his advantage. And he was going to make use of that strength. Punching the ground with his fists, he used his patented Earth Shaking attack, making the ground shake violently. His plan was simple: by making the ground shake, it would be impossible for Forest Doe to stand her ground, being forced to constantly move. Taking advantage of that, and when she looked too focused on trying not to fall on her butt, he would attack her.
"Sorry to say this, Mylene, but you're not going to take my winning streak." -Grizzly thought to himself.
But unlike what he was thinking was going to happen, Doe was quite light on her feet, and even though the ground was shaking, she did not show any sign of being in trouble. Still, he was determined to make her fall, so he intensified his attack, hitting the ground over and over, putting his full strength on his fists. This went on for a couple of seconds, when something incredible happened. As he continued to pound his fists against the ground, his body began to glow golden-brown, after which the glow began to expand, as if it was alive, engulfing Grizzly. In a matter of three seconds, it had adopted the image of a giant full-grown bear with red glowing eyes; and in its centre was Grizzly Bear, who seemed to be in some sort of trance. Forest Doe, who had stopped moving, as that happened, had no words to express her surprise. And the same thing could be said about the rest of the heroes.
Roaring, the bear attacked Forest Doe, knocking her out of the ring, as it too exited the ring, behaving in an almost feral way. Sensing that their friend was not in control of what was going on, Ladybug ordered the others to try and restrain him, while also telling the old master to go and see if Doe was alright.
Attacking him, they were trying not to hurt him, because did not know if he could feel any kind of pain. They shouted their name, over and over, hoping for him to snap out of the trance he seemed to be. Swinging his bat and trying to hit him with it, Antelope failed, after which the giant glowing bear's left front paw went right through him. When this happened, he felt like his energy had been drained out of his body. Dropping on his knees, he was then kicked by the right paw, which sent him flying over, ending up on the nearby pond.
"Let's try to restrain him! Chloe! You and me… Tangled!" -Ladybug shouted at the bee heroine.
Following Ladybug's lead, Queen Bee used her trompo to create a small twister in front of Grizzly Bear, after which, the scarlet heroine threw her yo-yo inside it and let the string flow. In a matter of seconds, the twister wrapped the string around the humongous glowing bear, with Ladybug holding him.
"A little help here, everyone!" -Ladybug begged the others, when having trouble holding him by herself.
Responding to her request, the heroes all grabbed the string and pulled it, trying to keep the bear from moving. But feeling trapped and in danger, the creature responded the same way a wild animal would. Shaking violently, it tried to set himself free. The heroes tried to get Grizzly to stop, by shouting his name, while continuing to hold him in place, but he seemed to not be able to hear anyone, no matter how loud its voice was. But there was one voice that he heard, and that was the voice of Forest Doe, who had gotten up and rushed over to his front, to see if she could try and call him to reason.
"Ivan, stop! Stop, before someone gets hurt!" -Forest Doe yelled at the top of her lungs, begging him to stop.
Upon hearing Doe's voice, something inside Grizzly made him snap back to reality, as the glowing bear that had engulfed him disappeared and he fell to the ground. Feeling dizzy, he tried to get up, only to fail. His head was killing him, and he felt like he had been run over by a truck, countless times. The others gathered around him, to see if he was alright. As for Grizzly, he just had one thing in his mind… if he had hurt Doe or not.
"Are you okay?" –Forest Doe asked him
"I… I guess s-so." -Grizzly said. –"B-But never mind me, what about y-you? Are you okay?" -he asked her, worried.
"Yeah, I am okay." -Forest Doe smiled at Grizzly Bear, whose face was telling her that he had his doubts. –"Don't worry. I told you I'm a lot stronger and resistant than you might think." -she told him. –"But that was a little unexpected."
"Unexpected? Unexpected is when you get one of the lunch ladies in the cafeteria to give you three slices of pizza, instead of two. That, was both incredible and scary." -Rena Rouge commented.
"What was that thing?" -Queen Bee asked.
"I think that was a new attack." -Grizzly Bear said. –"Although, I'm thinking that it took a turn for the wrong side." -he said, as he continued to look at Doe, who he thought he had seriously hurt.
"It certainly was. It seems to me, that one more of you has tapped into his miraculous' powers and unlocked a new ability." -Master Fu said, slightly surprised. –"More and more I am amazed with how talented they all are. In my days as a miraculous holder, only three of us were able to unlock new abilities and powers. Ivan's already the fifth, and at this rate, he won't be the last." -he thought to himself. –"And regarding the fact that you were unable to control it, it's true, but you shouldn't beat yourself about it. After all, nobody got hurt, my boy."
"But it could have…" -Grizzly sighed. –"And the day was going so well."
"Listen to the master, Ivan. Don't beat yourself. I'm okay. I've had Akumas punching me in the face with a lot more strength, and I got back up, the second after." -Forest Doe went smiling, trying to tranquilize him.
"She's right, you know? It wasn't your fault." -Ladybug smiled at him.
"And because I think that there's nothing good about dwindling on what happened, let's change the subject." -Arachnid suggested. –"That was an attack that could be labelled as "one of a kind". I mean, that thing came out of you in a way, that it looked like something out of one of those old school videogames." -he said.
And with those words, Arachnid had summed up what had happened. Grizzly's new attack caught them all by surprise and had proved to be a lot stronger than they could have imagined. With what could only be described as a holographic bear, he had managed to take out five of his teammates, before managing to stop.
"Yeah, well, if I'm going to use it, I need to learn how to control it. I don't want any of you, to get hurt by accident." -Grizzly said, as he sat on the ground. –"Whoa… this sucked up most of my energy." -he said. –"I'll definitely only use this attack as a last resort."
"And before that happens, you'll have to train it. Like you said, controlling such an attack is imperative, not only for your sake, but for your friends' sake as well." -Master Fu told Grizzly. –"And I know that you will manage to control it and master it, just like the rest of you, as you continue to evolve, and to unlock new abilities and powers, growing ever stronger." -he declared.
It did not take long for everyone to forget what had happened, and to treat it as just one of those things that happened during training. Sating on the grass, they all took their time to question Grizzly about his new attack.
"I know this is going to sound like the most cliché question ever asked, but how did it feel, dude?" -Carapace asked
"I… I don't really know how to explain. It felt like an out-of-body experience. I was seeing things through the eyes of the holographic bear that engulfed me. It was like, the two of us were one and the same." -Grizzly said, trying to explain how he had perceived what it had happened to him. –"Like I said, I don't really know how to explain it. All I can say is that, it was one heck of a ride." -he admitted.
"We know. Some of us ended up being part of it." -Antelope said, as he rubbed
"Oh, stop being such a crybaby. He only threw you a couple of meters, and you did end up falling into the pond over there." -Dragonfly told him.
"You'll have to come up with a name for that new attack of yours. You know how this goes. We unlock a new attack, we come up with a cool name." -Corbeau Noire told him.
"I know, I know. And I think I know just what I'm going to call it." -Grizzly smiled.
(End of Flashback)
"No! It's too risky!" -Forest Doe told him. –"The last time you used it, you were only able to handle that holographic bear for about 30 seconds. After that, it went wild, and we had to restrain it." -she remembered him. –"I know you think that that by using it, you'll put an end to this guy's antics, but if it goes wrong…"
"It won't go wrong. I promise you. My Spirit of the Wild attack is just what we need to finish this. After I use it, Screamer will be out in a matter of seconds and this thing will be over." -Grizzly said.
"Provided it works." -Forest Doe said. She did not want him to get hurt.
"I don't like it, but he does have a point. Plus, that holographic bear is pretty much unstoppable. None of our special attacks had any effect on it, remember?" -Carapace said.
"It's true." -Corbeau Noire agreed.
"It's worth the risk." -Grizzly Bear said. –"It's time for that guy to stop playing that awful music, for good." -he thought to himself, as he saw his friends fighting Screamer.
We're getting really close to the end of this fic, everyone. The next chapter will be the one where we wrap up things, and then the epilogue. And while I was writing this chapter, I was already thinking of how I was going to wrap up things. I know that I usually only say this when I'm writing the epilogue of a fic, but I feel that I have to say it right now, because I can't wait. This story didn't exactly came out the way I wanted it to, but you know what? It doesn't matter, because it came out better than I wanted it to. I'll admit that it has a couple of flaws, but then, what's the story that doesn't have a couple of flaws, even when it's written with love? xD Regarding this chapter, it was a blast to write it, especially because it gave me the chance to introduce you guys to the new advanced attack, this one, belonging to Ivan, which you will see in action on the next chapter. As always, feel free to comment, fav and leave suggestions to improve this fic or its sequels. :)
P.S. By the way, I want to warn you that because I'm currently on vacation, my web access is a little restringed. Still, I'll try to answer anyone who sends me PMs, as fast as I can. I'm also taking Also, I commissioned a couple of beautiful drawings, which I will be posting on my DeviantArt page in the next couple of weeks, as well as a special drawing to my friend Kyara17, illustrating the final scene of the last chapter.
