Normally I wouldn't do this but I'm really really getting frustrated with a reviewer. I appreciate constructive criticism, but I do NOT allow people to harp on my mistakes. I am busy and I don't have a beta reader so not everything is perfect and I'm sorry that my writing isn't perfect. I can speak Latin fluently and I must've confused words so Guest, I apologize for my screw up in Latin, I already plan on taking the extra languages out so please stop pointing out all my mistakes in the languages, I don't have time to go over the chapters a handful of times if the updates come out once a month. I'm in school, I'm working, I'm also in a relationship that requires my attention (and I enjoy) and yet I manage to squeeze time in for writing for you guys, please don't take that for granted and berate me for my mistakes; it grates on my nerves and in all honesty I shouldn't have to deal with it. I take time to write this a fanfiction instead of a pure story so you all can read it, please don't take it for granted.
Now please don't think I'm not happy writing it here, cause I love reading all the excited and enthusiastic reviews about how cool this story is and how its one of the best fanfictions some people have read (which is a shame cause mine's not that good XD) I don't like the people who don't have anything nice to say about a story. It really disheartens a writer and puts them in a bad mood for the rest of their day. We authors take what our viewers say to heart (even if they aren't true) and it's not fair for people to be berating us when we do a lot of work to come up with these things.
And for StarClan's sake, my story is not crude and suggestive! If you read too much into a situation that is not my problem. I make situations that can be playful, humorous, or a subtle jab at adult stuff, how you take it isn't my fault. I rated this T so I can do that, I don't go into depth with everything like that(for heavens sake we rarely see Cynthia and Leon doing anything beyond joking around and even then it's just the two of them innocently kissing) I never get close to the limit to where T ends and M begins, Cynthia swears very very rarely (a total of four times in the first version of the story) and I'm very careful what I put in. Please don't tell me I'm being to Mature for my rating. This is the description for T rating. 'Suitable for teens, 13 years and older, with some violence, minor coarse language, and minor suggestive adult themes.' I don't know about you but my writing well fits there.
After that mess of an Author's Note, you guys deserve a sneak peek into a later chapter, don't you? Well, here you go! :D
(This is the new and improved version of the cliffhanger at the end of the second part of the division games)
"Wait… Salim!" Finli jumped to his feet and started running out of the observation room, throwing the door open with a bang.
"Finli wait!" Holly threw off her headphones and sprinted after him while she activated her comlink, "Cynthia! There's a chemical bomb threat near the stone pillars! We need to stop it before it blows up where the leaders are standing!"
"I'm on it!" Cynthia said, sliding off of the medical bed she had been told to sit at and wait for the electricity from earlier to leave her body, "Leon, do you have your HoloWatch and the HoloShield?"
"Yes, I have it on me, what's going on?"
"There's a chemical bomb threatening the leaders and I don't have enough time to make something to stop it and so I'm going to have to fight the guy with the bomb."
"Alright, I'll meet you out at the mouth of the arena," Leon replied before contacting Bree, "Bree, we need to move the leaders away from the pillars and any of the residents there, there is a threat that'll be fatal if we can't contain it in time."
"Roger! I'll secure the area," Bree replied, her voice dead serious and she switched over to her communications for her AI car L.I.O.N, "Lion, where are you?"
"Outside of the base Bree," L.I.O.N replied, his southern accented voice calm at the moment, "where do you need me?"
"I need you to watch the exits, nobody can leave, if someone leaves then knock them out, we're under a threat and the bomber may try to run or they may have some helpers."
"Understood Bree," L.I.O.N replied, his blue scanner on the front of it blinked to life and swished from side to side of the scanner as it started scanning for any other humans trying to escape the base. "My scanners are peeled, be careful."
"Yeah, we'll see about that." Bree sighed before she subtly jabbed Jay in the elbow and leaned closer to him, speaking in his ear, "start backing up the medics and leaders, but do it slowly, Lion's got his scanners peeled outside and Cindy's on her way to take care of the threat."
"Okay," Jay grunted and spoke lowly to his aunt, keeping his voice down.

"Finli what are you doing?!" Holly asked as they ran, racing down the hallways and towards the arena, "we're supposed to be warning the leaders!"
"Salim's in a perilous situation!" Finli replied as he ran faster, "He's going to be shot!"
"What?!"

Cynthia skidded around a hallway and nearly ran into Leon, she didn't stop running and Leon quickly caught up with her, clumsily unbuckling the watch around his wrist to hand to his partner before buckling it around her wrist as they continued running, this was serious, if Cynthia couldn't stop the bomb they were all doomed. "Do you have your spare?" Cynthia asked slightly out of breath as they ran through the maze of hallways.
"Yes," Leon replied, pulling out another holo-watch and buckling it around his wrist, "what do you want me to do?"
"Protect the leaders," Cynthia replied, engaging the HoloWatch and her own multi watch so silver knuckles formed over her knuckles and a solid transparent shield emerged from the watch her partner gave her, "when I engage the threat you have to protect the leaders and not worry about me."
"Okay," Leon replied knowing they didn't have time to be worried about their blocked link, usually he would say something along the lines of he always worried about her, but not while an entire division was at stake. "My focus is on the leaders."
"Thank you, Leon," Cynthia caught his wrist and pressed a short kiss to his cheek before the partnership burst out into the arena, starting the chaos.

Holly and Finli were a few seconds behind Leon and Cynthia, emerging from the same set of doors, the two strategists raced up into the stands where they both could see the glint of black metal of a gun hidden among the many people, "Move!" Finli shouted, shoving people out of the way as he raced towards his leader.
"Sorry!" Holly apologized the ones being pushed, "Sorry!"

Bree pushed the leaders backward as Cynthia engaged the bomb threat, sliding on the ground on top of the shield, knocking them off balance. "We gotta move! Leave the arena!"
"Bree, there are a small group of black-clothed people emerging from the base," L.I.O.N interrupted, confusing the genius in the process.
"Run! It's Sam!" Cynthia yelled over the comlinks as she jumped on top of the falling chemical bomb, the shield her only protection against the violent reaction.
"What?! Duck!" Leon shouted as he skidded on the ground in front of the crouching leaders, his shield emerging from his watch to protect the leaders.
"Salim! Move!" Holly yelled over the comlinks as Finli tackled the man about to shoot his leader. Just as the gun went off, the arena was lit up with a huge blue fire ball and a bright flash of blue light.
"Cynthia!" Leon's howl echoed as the entire arena went silent at the sound of the gun shot.
