Final Fantasy: Rise of Despair
When we last left off, Harris and group answered the ghost's riddle and the ghost revealed himself to be Syack, the powerful but bitter old clanmaster of Clan Phantom. After a failed attempt to convince him to help the group, Harris took matters to Syack and only resulted in a heated argument between them. After the said argument, Heidi found Syack crying over an old picture of himself and a young boy. Everything was cut short by a surprise attack by the black army.
While the combination of Clan Phantom and Clan Falcon and allies was proving to be more than a match for the large army, something was terribly wrong. A lone moogle from the black army killed three of clan Phantom's members and even the deadly trio of Monty, Mendoza, and Gilbert proved unable to beat him. When things seemed grim Harris arrived on the scene to challenge the moogle, who was non other than one of the dreaded colonels of the black army.

Power and responsibility
Mendoza put Gilbert on his back and ran back toward the back lines of Clan Phantom while Monty realized the other dead allies. Monty quickly distributed Phoenix Downs to all three of them. "You guys okay?" Monty asked.
"Whooooaaaa… what happened?" The Mog Knight asked. "Oh yeah! Let me at that…"
"No way Kupo. My clanmaster can handle him just fine on his own." Monty told him.
"But I want to…" The Dragoon started to say.
"You have the rest of the clan to help." Monty said. The three ran off. Chief only stared at this sight.
"Tell me something, you didn't order that moogle to save those three, so why did he?" Chief asked as he used Mog Aid to heal himself.
"I didn't think a black soldier would understand." Harris said, who was for some reason doing nothing to stop Chief from healing himself. "When something stands before you, and the choice between letting it pass or doing the right thing presents itself to you, you do the right thing." Harris said. "That, is the discipline that my clan members are taught." Harris said while pointing the sword in his right hand at Chief.
"Oh don't even start preaching to me." Chief said.
"Hmph… fine, enough words." Harris said. The Harris and Chief started walking around in a circle, facing each other like two lions ready to attack the other. Harris started twirling both his swords in his hands as he walked while Chief did the same thing with his blade. The two began spinning their swords faster, and faster, and faster until it looked like they were twirling wheels in their hands. Finally…
"HIYAH!!!" Chief shouted as he dashed toward Harris
"HIYAH!!!" Harris shouted as he dashed toward Chief. The second they got close to each other and began attacking, Harris was forced on to the defensive. Chief was advancing on Harris when Harris suddenly side-stepped one slash and attempted to counter it, although the initial counter attack missed, Harris did gain the offensive edge and forced Chief to go back on to the defensive.
"Mog Attack!" Chief got one attack in that caused Harris to skid backwards. "Mog lance!" Chief then thrust his sword forward and sent a lance of mana at Harris. Harris however quickly regained his balance and dashed to the side. "Gah! He's fast."
"You haven't seen anything yet." Harris said threateningly. Harris was now running circles around Chief until he dashed at him from behind. Chief barely brought his blade up in time to block the attack, but Harris was now more fierce with his attacks than ever. Swinging horizontally, vertically, and practically every angle so quickly that it seemed like he was attacking everywhere at once.
"Grrrrrr… damn him." Chief thought. Chief rolled around Harris and jumped up to slash Harris in the back, Harris however brought his swords behind him in time to block the attack before turning around to counter attack. "Mog Guard!" Chief took a defensive stance and blocked the worst of the attack even though he went skidding back a few feet.
"Not done yet!" Harris dashed forward again, this time Chief leaped above him.
"Mog lance!" Chief literally rained down Mog lance attacks on Harris, who wasn't able to block them all this time. Chief landed behind him and moved in closer. "Mog Rush!" Chief swung his blade with incredible force.
"Tch…" Harris turned around and leaped backward, but still couldn't avoid the whole attack and suffered a nasty cut on the torso. While Harris was landing from his leap, Chief leaped forward to deliver a final strike. "Saint Cross!" Harris cast a ring of holy magic around him that hit Chief and sent him tumbling backward.
"Gah!" As Chief went tumbling backward, Harris ran forward to continue the attack. Chief regained his footing in time to stop most of the slashes, but he was unable to avoid injury. The two leaped backwards for a moment to catch their breath.
"As I thought… he is good. To think he wounded me at least as much as I wounded him." Harris thought to himself. "I sense it now… he's constantly using a small portion of mana to maintain the haste effect on himself. However I still have one advantage." Harris focused his mana and… "Curaga!" Harris cast a powerful white aura on himself and healed all of his injuries.
"Damn it all! He's just as fast as I am even with haste, what's more he's better at raw swordsmanship than I am, and now he has his white magic. Okay then… I'll just have to up the ante." Chief thought to himself with a wicked smile on his face.
Meanwhile…
"Are you guys alright?" The clan Phantom white mage asked as she healed all of the patients with her white magic.
"Yes we're fine, now I'm going to rejoin the front lines." The dragoon said impatiently.
"You! Release your pets now." Syack commanded the beastmaster.
"Fly my pretties! Fly!" The Beastmaster shouted as four Ahrimans took to the skies above the Black Army. "Just don't use Roulette!" The Beastmaster shouted.
"They've dispatched mon-ARGH!" A Viera black soldier was about to say when an Ahriman swooped down and clawed her eyes out.
"Then we'll dispatch our own!" A black soldier beastmaster said. "Come forth my dragons!" Upon his words, Fire Drakes, Icewyrms, and thundrakes came flying in, although not as agile as the Ahrimans at flying, you could naturally guess how bad this was.
"Damn it." Mendoza cursed.
"I've got this!" Hunter said as he aimed his bow upward. "Sidewinder!" He fired an arrow that instantly killed a dragon. "Sidewinder! Sidewinder!" Hunter proceeded to do this to every dragon he could spot.
"His attention's been diverted, charge!" A bangaa black soldier shouted.
"You still have me to deal with! I call upon thee Ifrit! Fira!" Laura summoned Ifrit and cast Fira on it so that Ifrit's flames only intensified. "Attack now!" Ifrit created a massive fireball that burned through several black soldiers at once.
"Groooooooaaaaaaaar!" A Thundrake used bolt breath and sent multiple lightning bolts flying toward the ground.
"Bolt Breath!" Kyle used his own bolt breath to cancel out the bolt breath attack from the thundrake. "Jump!" Kyle then leaped through the air and thrust his lance in to the chest of the thundrake as he leaped upward.
"Grrrrrooooooooaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrr!" It screamed in pain. As it fell to the ground, Kyle jumped off of its chest and came crashing down on three different dragons on the ground. "Wyrmkiller!" The second Kyle landed, he tapped all three of them with the tip of his lance and left.
"Rr?" The dragons were confused. But then three gigantic green lances made from mana came from above and impaled them. "GRRROOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAARRRRR!" Although it didn't physically pierce them, it certainly felt like it and thus they perished.
"Hiyah!" Heidi slashed a black soldier in the chest and then back flipped over another one and stabbed it in the back with her wrist knife. While her knife was still stuck in the guy, she kicked two guys that were trying to jump her from behind. She then lifted the guy on her wrist knife and kicked him in the back so that he crashed in to another guy.
"Cease and desist!" A black soldier shouted. She turned around and fired an arrow in to his throat as a bunch of dragons and various black mages from the black army were surrounding her.
"Heh… please." Heidi scoffed.
"Fire!"
"Thunder!"
"Blizzard!"
"Grrrrrrrroooooooooooaaaaaaaarrrrrrr!" The dragons all used their respective breath attacks while all the mages used various low-level spells. The three elements meeting in the center caused a tremendous explosion.
"Ha! That got her!" A black mage shouted.
"Shadowbind!"
"Huh?" Everyone looked up to see mana arrows raining from above and piercing the ground where their shadows fell. "Hey… I can't move."
"It is time for you to die now." Heidi said as she landed. She disappeared and soon.
"Argh!"
"Gwa!"
"Hack!"
"Grooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrr!" All the stopped units fell dead.
"Harris, I hope you're doing all right." Heidi thought.
Back to Harris and Chief…
"Let's go." Chief said.
"Fine." Harris responded. The two charged at each other once again, quickly reentering their sword fight. Blades met wherever they swung, the sound of clashing metal ringing through the air. Chief jumped and swung vertically while Harris did a cross block with his two swords.
"Heh." Chief followed through with the swing and pushed off of Harris' swords so that he went up in to the air. "Mog Lance!" Chief once again rained mana lances on Harris, but this time Harris darted back and forth to dodge the barrage. The second Chief landed, Harris swung his swords at Chief. "Mog Guard!" Chief took a defensive pose and locked blades with Harris. "Counter attack!"
"Augh!" Chief managed to slash Harris in his right arm somewhat, which gave him the opening he needed.
"Mog Attack." He rammed Harris and sent him skidding backwards. "Slow!" Chief cast a spell that caused purple Roman numerals to spin around Harris slowly.
"This is… damn it!" Harris thought.
"Heh… I would have used stop, but I know that someone of your level would have dodged it since stop is slow to activate." Chief said. "But slow is good enough!" Chief said evilly. "Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiyaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!" Chief then zipped for Harris. Harris wasn't able to keep up with Chief this time.
"Damn it… I can't react fast enough now." Harris said as he barely ducked under a decapitating slice that still left a nasty cut on his cheek. Harris attempted to counter attack Chief, but Chief leaped way back from Harris before dashing back toward him.
"Ha! You're only as fast as a normal person is now! You can't keep up with me!" Chief mocked. "Hiyah!" Chief leaped toward Harris doing front flips in succession through the air, and the way he was holding his sword made him resemble a saw blade.
"Eh…" Harris ducked down low to the ground to where he received only a few cuts on his back.
"Die now!" Chief quickly landed and was charging at Harris. "Mog Rush!"
"Saint Cross!" Harris managed to cast a ring of holy magic around him that repelled Chief and saved him from getting sliced. "Too bad for him that Mog Rush is easy to avoid regardless of whether I'm slowed down or not." Harris thought to himself.
"Augh!" Chief went skidding backwards for a moment. "Grrrr… Mog Lance!" Chief then started thrusting his rapidly at Harris.
"Defense!" Harris took a defensive stance as the mana lances came flying at him. They were unable to pierce him, but they still stung quite a bit.
"Smart move, he wouldn't be able to dodge them in his current state." Chief thought as he began thrusting all the more rapidly.
"Now!" Harris thought to himself. Harris began dashing toward Chief while spinning his sword in front of him and deflecting the mana lances.
"What! Slow wore off already?" Chief asked surprised. At a loss of ideas for now, Chief began thrusting even more rapidly, but to no avail. "Gah! Mog Guard!"
"Take this!" Harris dashed past Chief and left deep gashes on Chief's torso.
"Arrrrrrrrggghhh… Demi!"
"What?" Chief cast a large, dark, pulsating dome around Harris. The inside of the dome itself was a major gravity flux. "Ugh… it feels like I'm being pulled… all over the place…" Harris groaned as he fell to his knees while at the same time feeling like another force was pushing him upward. "AUGH!" The dome finally vanished and Harris felt like his insides were still swirling somewhat. "Curaga!"
"Got him! Reflect!" Chief quickly cast Reflect right before Harris was about to heal himself. The Curaga spell bounced off of the green aura surrounding him.
"What?" Harris could only watch as the white mana flew over toward Chief in a thin glowing silhouette like a thin trail of candle smoke.
"Hmmm… yes you are quite a powerful white mage." Chief said as the curaga spell completely cured him of his wounds. "Now that your white magic has been cut off how do you intend to win?" Chief mocked.
"It's been a long time since I've faced someone this tough." Harris thought.
Meanwhile…
"Deluge!" Syack sent a massive wave of water to drown the black soldiers and wiped out several of them. "Grrr… they just keep coming. I'm too old for this." Syack grumbled. He then noticed Harris' battle far off in the distance. "Hmph… I told that whippersnapper to mind his own business and he doesn't listen. Now look, he's getting himself killed."
"Don't say that about clanmaster Harris." Monty hissed at Syack as he used fire shot on a group of them.
"Watch your tongue when you speak to your elders." Syack demanded.
"Look at Harris, he's fighting to protect you because he feels that it is the right thing to do. Even if it kills him." Gilbert argued. "Flare!" Gilbert roasted a black soldier templar.
"Hm…" Syack looked at Harris' fight once again.
Back to the fight…
Harris and Chief were still engaged in battle with each other. Harris began thrusting both swords rapidly at Chief while Chief kept on dodging them before attempting his own slash. Harris spun around to Chief's backside and attempted a cross-slash, but Chief rolled forward and turned around. "Quicken!" Green roman numerals traveled toward Harris forming a wavy line.
"What the… oh crap." Harris cursed. He couldn't dodge the spell since it was a support spell and it bounced off of Harris' reflective aura and the spell affected Chief.
"Ha ha ha ha! Now take this!" Chief's speed increased several fold and disappeared from view.
"Defense!" Harris took a defensive posture just in time as several sword slashes attacked him from every angle with only a mili-second's difference in their occurrence. "Augh!" Harris collapsed to the ground covered in bleeding cuts as Chief stopped moving to catch his breath.
"Whew… I'll give you some… credit…" Chief said as he caught his breath. "You're… the first one to… survive that… attack…" Chief said. "You should… consider yourself… lucky that quicken can't be maintained constantly." Chief said.
"Nurse!" Harris began using nurse to slowly heal his wounds.
"Oh how clever… NOT! Quicken!" Chief cast quicken on Harris once again and it reflected off of Harris and back to him once again. Chief smirked and disappeared once again.
"Saint Cross!" Harris cast a ring of holy magic around him and Chief rammed in to it full force.
"Gah!" Chief got caught off guard and his quicken move instantly stopped working. "Oh how clever…" Chief growled. "Dang… I lost focus and now I don't even have haste activated. And his reflect just now wore off." Chief said.
"Now then… c…" Harris started to say.
"Reflect!" Chief decided to caste reflect before he cast haste on himself again.
"…cover." Harris said with a smirk. He teleported right behind Chief and held him around the neck as the spell was being cast on him.
"Gah… let go of me!" Chief kicked the already badly wounded Harris in the abdomen and sent Harris skidding backwards as a green aura covered Harris. "Now then… haste!" Chief cast haste, and as the green roman numerals started to spin around him, they dispersed and spun around Harris, thus casting haste on him. "WHAT!!!"
"Look at yourself again." Harris said with a smile.
"Hm?" Chief looked at himself and saw a green aura around him. "But when did… you… that's why you held on to me!" Chief accused angrily.
"Exactly. Curaga!" Harris cast curaga on Chief and it bounced off of him and healed Harris. "Now then…" Harris was now too fast for even Chief to see.
"Damn it! Mog Peek!" Chief focused his vision and managed to catch Harris running right at him. Harris thrust both of his swords forward as Chief raised his blade, however he only managed to block one blade and got stabbed in the left shoulder. "Mog attack!" Chief knocked Harris back, only for Harris to once again disappear due to sheer speed.
"Holy Blade!" Harris' sword glowed with a bright holy light as he charged at Chief.
"Mog Rush!" Chief swung his blade and it met with Harris' Holy blade attack. After a bright flash of light, both of them were knocked back by an explosion that resulted from the meeting of the two attacks.
"No good, I have to get an opening before I finish this." Harris thought.
"Grrrrr… he's too fast now! Unless…" Chief thrust his hand so that the palm was facing Harris. "Quicken!" Chief's quicken spell bounced off of Harris and affected him. "But even so… I'll only have one shot. I guess I'll have to use that."
Back to the main battle…
Syack was staring wide-eyed at this sight. "Unbelievable… even though I still sense turmoil in the lad, he's not letting that affect him. He's fighting for our sake even though he doesn't really know us." Syack thought. "And not just him…" Syack though looking at the rest of Harris' companions. Syack watched Heidi as she fired her arrows in to the hearts of several black soldiers.
"Ice sword!" Mendoza created a sword from ice and slashed three black soldiers in the stomach before guarding against more attacks. Syack watched as Monty open fired with his gun, as Hunter shot down dragons as if they were ducks. He saw Kyle slaying soldiers and dragons quickly, and at Laura and Gilbert as they cast their most powerful spells.
"All of these youngsters… they've been though so much, yet they aren't letting that stop them. And I can't let that stop me either." Syack stepped forward "Stardust!!!" Syack thrust his hands in to the air, then slammed them on to the ground. Suddenly large shadows loomed over the battlefield.
"Huh?" The Black soldiers stopped charging as they looked up to see large meteors falling from space in a meteor shower. "Run for it!!!" The soldiers shouted.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" The black soldiers attempted to turn and run as the meteors rained down on them, crushing them instantly as they tried to escape their inevitable doom.
"Ha ha ha… I haven't felt so alive since I was one-hundred and thirteen!" Syack laughed.
"One hundred and thirteen!" Monty shouted.
"What? Didn't you know that nu mous live three times longer than humans and moogles?" Syack asked.
"Now let's go help Harris." Laura said.
"No!" Heidi said.
"Why not?" Laura asked.
"Because this is a battle between warriors, and no one should interfere." Heidi said.
Back to the battle…
Chief held his blade in front of him. "Hm? What's he doing?" Harris wondered.
"Breath of life… light my blade…" Chief said as his blade began glowing.
"That incantation… it can't be…" Harris thought as his eyes opened in surprise.
"… and sing within light… ULTIMA CHARGE!!!" Chief shouted as his blade became covered in a pure magical field that was light purple in color. Just standing near him would feel practically unbearable. "RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!" Chief ran forward.
"I can't block that! I've got to dodge it!" Harris rolled to the side as Chief stabbed his blade at him but missed. Chief turned around and continued to attack Harris. "I've got to get more distance, it's too dangerous to dodge that attack in close quarters." Harris began leaping backwards.
"Ha! I'll just add this to Mog lance! HIIIIIIIIIIIIYAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!" Chief thrust his sword forward and sent an incredible blast of magic energy toward Harris that was uprooting the earth as it flew toward where Harris was about to land.
"Damn it!!!" Harris thought as the attack drew closer. After the spell hit the area, a light purple dome of magical energy rose up around where it struck, followed by a bright flash. When it cleared. There was a massive crater that only had one of Harris' swords stuck in the ground.
"Ha ha ha ha ha! I completely annihilated him. Ah… he was definitely the most fun I had in years." Chief sighed. "Hm… too bad we didn't destroy this clan though… I guess the Black King won't be mad though if I report that I myself killed the legendary Harris." Chief sighed.
"Did you think you got me!?!"
"Hm?" Chief turned around to see Harris charging right at him. "What!"
"Rah!" Harris cried as he spun around and kicked Chief right under the chin and sent him in to the air as he dropped his blade.
"Gah! But how…?" He asked. The next thing Chief knew… Harris was above him ready to plunge his sword in to him. "Mog guard!"
"HOLY BLADE!!!" Harris plunged his glowing white sword in to Chief's stomach as the two went rocketing down to the ground. The second they crashed in to the ground, a pillar of holy light pierced the sky from where the two were standing.
"Whoa… that mana is incredible…" Laura gasped.
"Unbelievable…" Kyle gasped.
"It looks like he won…" Heidi sighed in relief.
When the light cleared, Chief was on the ground dead with Harris looming over his corpse with a few cuts and bruises. Harris walked to the crater and got pulled his sword out. "If I hadn't used this to redirect my landing point to the nearby water I would have been a goner." Harris thought as he sheathed his swords.
"Harris!" Heidi ran up to Harris and hugged him around the shoulders.
"Gah! That stings…" Harris groaned with a smile on his face.
"Oh… I'm sorry." Heidi said embarrassingly.
"Well done clanmaster Harris!" Mendoza cheered.
"I couldn't have done it better myself." Hunter said with a smile.
"Of course you couldn't, as weak as you are." Laura said.
"What was that!" Hunter shouted.
"Ah… well… I guess I owe you whippersnappers my thanks. Come on, let's get rested up." Syack said as he walked back toward the base.
"Heidi… may I talk with you?" Gilbert asked.
"Of course." Heidi answered. The two of them walked behind the rest of the group as Gilbert started.
"Have you noticed anything strange about Harris' mana?" Gilbert asked.
"Like what?" Heidi asked.
"Well like… here, feel for his mana now." Gilbert said. Heidi stared intently at Harris.
"It's the same that it always is." Heidi said.
"Exactly… and he should have significantly less after this battle." Gilbert said.
"Well I've always noticed that. But I just dismiss it as some result of training to replenish your mana back to normal quicker." Heidi said.
"I thought that for a moment as well. But after reading a book about mana, I realized that there is no such training in existence." Gilbert said.
"Huh? But then how…" Heidi started to ask.
"There is one possibility, but it's unlikely." Gilbert said. "You see, that book did mention mana suppression."
"Suppression?"
"Yes, using some of your energy to suppress your maximum mana level. And since Harris seems to replenish his mana so quickly, it may be that there is a certain amount he can't keep suppressed and that amount leaks through his suppression every time he uses mana." Gilbert theorized.
"But for what purpose would Harris suppress his mana?" Heidi asked.
"There is no way of telling." Gilbert sighed. Everyone climbed the ropes back up the wall; Heidi went last due to her being lost in though now.
"Hmmmm… there really is more to Harris than meets the eye isn't there?" Heidi asked herself.
That night…
Syack was watching the half-moon in the sky as Harris walked up behind him. "Hmmm… what is it now whippersnapper?" Syack asked.
"I came to apologize for being rude to you earlier today." Harris said. "And although I don't have a right to ask after being so rude, will you help us?" Harris asked.
"Hmph… you know… watching you battle with all of your heart today. It got me thinking." Syack said.
"And?" Harris asked.
"You know, I may not be very social, but I am still quite good at gathering people's feelings. And I was amazed, I though helping you would be a waste of time since it felt as though your inner turmoil would get in the way, and I though there'd be no point in helping you."
"Inner turmoil?" Harris asked, as if he didn't know what Syack was saying.
"I didn't think you'd tell me. But regardless, I saw how you still didn't let that get in the way, and that reminded me… of someone else I knew." Syack said sadly.
"…" Harris looked at Syack with pity. "You know, we've had our share of troubles before. Heidi has lost family to the black king, Gilbert lost his job, Monty lost his dignity, Mendoza lost nearly everything, I don't know about anyone else really but… we still fight." Harris said.
"…" Syack stayed silent for a moment. "My grandson…" Syack said quietly.
"Excuse me?" Harris asked.
"I lost my grandson. Both my son and his wife died from disease and depression, and so I took my grandson Syd under my wing." Syack said as tears welled up in his eyes. "The lad was born with a disfigured foot and couldn't walk properly, but that never stopped him from doing his best at whatever he tried to do." Syack said. "For about a year or two before the black king took over, we lived alone in this area of the bog, perfectly happy."
"Syack…" Harris started to say.
"But then… my grandson and I heard about the black king. I was concerned about my friends on the outside of this wall but I still wasn't sure if I wanted to leave." Syack said as his voice chocked up a little bit. He swallowed and continued. "But my grandson ultimately convinced me to help bring them to this place." Syack could no longer hold back any tears. "The Black Army found us taking refugees and attempted to kill us. I survived… but my grandson… the black army killed my grandson. The only one in the world who gave this crusty old bat any sense of simple happiness and bliss." Syack cried.
"…" Harris closed his eyes and though for a moment. "… he died wanting to do what was right. A young mind has no room for wrong, and I'm sure he thought well of you as you helped your friends." Harris said before turning around and going back to the house the party was staying in.
The next morning…
"Well, I guess we should leave now." Heidi sighed.
"Yeah… it's just too bad that Syack won't help us." Kyle said.
"Bah… who needs him?" Laura asked.
"You all will you whippersnappers." Came Syack's voice.
"Huh?" Nearly everyone turned around in surprise as Syack came behind them.
"And where do you young ones think you're going?" Syack asked them.
"Uh… somewhere." Monty said.
"You don't even know? Well you can't leave without making plans." Syack said.
"Well we'll come up with something." Hunter said.
"And you most certainly can't go anywhere without making plans that include me in them." Syack said.
"Well… wait… what?" Mendoza asked.
"Did you just say…" Harris started to ask.
"Yes I did. I'm coming with you. You people need some dignity in this group." Syack said.
"Ha ha ha ha ha…" Heidi couldn't help but laugh. "Yes we could couldn't we?" Heidi chuckled.
"Hey…" Monty and Mendoza said.
"Well then, let's make some plans." Hunter said. Everyone laughed a little and nodded their heads. Well, all except for Harris.
"…now comes the moment of truth… can I avoid it? Or not." Harris thought to himself.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, that's all for now folks.
I"VE FINALLY GOT MY NINTENDO WI-FI WORKING!!! Sorry, had to put that out there. Read and review.
