X3runner, BrainWork27, Gamelover41592 - Glad you all liked it :)


Although defeating Peyote Diaz did grant them a moment of peace and relative quiet, everyone on team ARCS knew very well that it wasn't going to last long.

The ever-present sounds of clashes and explosions they were being constantly assaulted by was more than enough to let them know exactly how temporary the moment of calmness was.

There was no place on the island where one couldn't feel the effects of the fight near the Great Spirit and, as far as they knew, it wasn't the only battle taking place on the island.

A good example of that was a fight between two X-Laws founders happening right before them.

It was one of the most intense fights they have ever seen, with attacks capable of splitting forests in half flying around so often they might as well have been ordinary bullets in a huntsman battle instead, and it wasn't even relevant to the tournament as a whole in the grand scheme of things.

Normally they would have already either moved past it, or stayed to help Marco with the fight, some time ago but with the battle taking place directly on the way to the Great Spirit and them being in a hurry to challenge Hao, choosing one of those options suddenly stopped being so easy.

Of course, it didn't take into account whether they would be allowed to make a choice in the first place.

With the fight between Marco and Luchist constantly increasing in scale as it continued, at some point they might be forced to do something about it whether they liked it or not.

"S-Shouldn't we do something?" Chocolove asked with a slight twitch as the ground near him exploded from a giant club hitting it.

Jaune wanted to agree with his comedic friend's intent to help Marco but upon looking at the fight more closely decided to withhold his opinion for the moment.

It didn't look like a battle they should just butt their way into.

"No we shouldn't." Whitley shook his head. "It's clearly personal between those two. Whatever the point of this fight is, it's not our problem, let's focus on getting to Hao instead."

Jaune absent-mindedly nodded his head as the rest of his friends continued to stare at the fight, he figured Whitley would be the one to focus on nothing more than their final goal.

"Isn't it a bit heartless?" Ren asked only to receive Whitley's questioning gaze. "Look at it this way, Marco might not be a member of our team but he still could help us with fighting Hao in the end."

Before Whitley could say anything in response however a shout from Marco interrupted them.

"Don't try to take part in my fight!" Marco grunted as he pushed himself and his angel away from the devastating club attack. "Dealing with this traitor is my responsibility! You four just go and help Iron Maiden Jeanne deal with Hao!"

The ground around them shook as Marco's angel planted its feet firmly into the ground.

"I will hold him in place so that you can safely get past us!"

Right after he said that, Marco and his angel immediately attacked Luchist's angel in such a way as to completely block its movement.

It might not have been the most impressive looking strike, Jaune would even dare to say it looked rather clumsily, but it certainly did its job properly and Luchist couldn't move anywhere without being stopped by Marco's angel body and weapons.

"Alright!" Jaune nodded his head before signalling with his hand for his friends to follow. "Let's go, guys! A very important fight is waiting for us ahead and we don't want to miss it."

All of his friends nodded their heads in agreement before snapping into a run towards the Great Spirit.

They had enough time to rest after their first fight already and Hao certainly wasn't going to wait for them even more. They might not have the elemental spirits and Ozma that their plan revolved around with them yet but they couldn't do anything about it on their own anyway.

In the end, they could only hope team RWBY would manage to find and deliver those spirits to them before they end up facing Hao on their own.

After all the things they've been through to get to this point, they were allowed to expect at least this much luck, right?

...

With the rest of the X-Laws...

...

It was difficult to breathe near the Great Spirit.

Whether it was because of the pressure Hao seemed to be putting all of them under or simply because the Spirit of Fire's Over Soul burned enough oxygen around them to literally make it harder to inhale, Lyserg didn't know.

Though he supposed it didn't really matter which option was true when both of them put the blame on the very same person, the person they were here to fight and kill on top of that.

No matter what, a fight against Hao was going to make it more difficult to breathe either way.

"It's good to finally see you here, little Jeanne." Hao asked with fake cheer. "You know, it took you so long to get here that I was starting to suspect that Luchist managed to defeat all of you already. Now wouldn't that be a boring turn of events."

A vast majority of X-Laws gritted their teeth in anger and instantly almost a dozen of angels appeared around them, ready to fight.

The only ones who haven't released their spirits yet were Lyserg and Iron Maiden Jeanne, and the only reason Lyserg didn't do it yet was because he was busy with holding the Iron Maiden.

"What a truly beautiful car collection you have." Hao chuckled mockingly at the display of all of their guardian spirits before waving his hand dismissively. "Now go park them somewhere else and let me deal with the only true shaman worthy of facing me from among you."

There was no X-Law which didn't look angry at Hao's dismissal but none of them dared to say anything in response though. Arrogant as Hao's words might have been, they have also been true.

There was no way any of them could directly compare to either Iron Maiden Jeanne or Hao in a straight fight.

It didn't mean they would allow themselves to simply sit on the sidelines and do nothing however.

"Enough talking." Iron Maiden Jeanne said as her torture device opened completely, letting her out. "Your life ends here, Hao. You have already caused enough pain and suffering to this world, this generation."

Jeanne's guardian spirit, an ancient deity of justice called Shamash, formed above the X-Laws leader.

The divine spirit looked as majestic and grand as it had always looked as the light itself seemed to fly towards it with the intent of exposing the world to its glory. There truly were only few spirits in any way comparable to the old deity before them.

Hao didn't seem to be impressed with it however.

"I see that you came here with the intent to die no matter the result." Hao shook his head with a small amount of regret. "I genuinely can't understand why you are so against joining my cause."

With his words said, Hao jumped forwards and charged at the now exposed Iron Maiden Jeanne.

The air blast from that simple movement pushed all the angels standing before Jeanne away and the path of destruction he was leaving on his short way to her didn't bode well for the X-Laws' leader.

Lyserg tensed from behind his leader before instantly reaching for his gun to summon his own angel and maybe help Jeanne deal with the attack a little.

He didn't manage to do anything on time though as the moment his hand touched the gun in his holster, Hao had already reached Jeanne, thankfully an intervention from him wasn't necessary as Hao's attack was somehow stopped by the executioner axe Shamash was holding.

The block didn't come at no cost though, as it did cause the spirit to stumble backwards for a couple of steps and made Iron Maiden Jeanne strain her power.

Lyserg gulped as he saw his leader, and their greatest hope at defeating Hao, trying to get her bearing after just a single surprise attack from their foe, but in no time at all he got rid of all the unnecessary worries and decided to use the small opportunity given to them by their leader and instantly summoned his angel to attack Hao with.

There was no communication between them at all but all of the remaining X-Laws did the same as well and soon Hao found himself assaulted from all the possible directions by giant metal angels.

A situation like this would have meant an instant defeat for practically any shaman in existence, for Hao it was merely an annoying obstacle course.

Hao moved at speeds and with manoeuvrability that was frankly difficult to comprehend. The gaps in their attacks which would have been either too small or brief for anyone else to take advantage of became a viable dodging direction for a shaman like Hao.

If the person they were fighting wasn't planning on killing all the non-shaman people in the world, Lyserg would have even dared to say that the scene of someone dodging and moving around the flurry of their attacks looked quite beautiful, almost like a dance.

The mesmerising sight before him wasn't a good thing however, as not a second later he saw Hao wave his armour's hand around, throwing an entire angel away from him.

"Ahh!" One of the X-Laws screamed in shock as they saw their guardian spirit flying at them at a dangerous speed.

Lyserg frowned as his instincts kicked in and he instantly formed an Over Soul with Morphine and launched his pendulum to catch the falling angel before it could hit its shaman.

"Get your head back into the fight!" He called out loudly as he pushed the angel back towards Hao. "A single attack is far from enough to eliminate an X-Law from a fight! It doesn't matter if the person delivering this attack is Hao!"

He saw the X-Law shakily nod their head as they turned towards Hao once again.

"Ha! That's some wise words for a mindless follower, boy!" Hao laughed at them as he stopped in the air after dodging yet another attack. "It's a pity your parents weren't willing to follow me into the new world I'm going to create, your family would have fitted there perfectly."

Lyserg growled in anger as he heard Hao mention his family before launching his pendulum to attack the cruel shaman.

Hao, unsurprisingly, dodged his attempt of an attack without any issues, but before he could move any further to either bring the fight closer to him or relocate to a more advantageous position a bunch of chains appeared all around the immortal shaman out of nowhere.

"What's this?" Hao asked, more curious than concerned at the new development, before moving his arms a little only to find the chains to put more resistance against him than they logically should. "Is this your new way of trying to restrain me, little Jeanne?"

Lyserg turned towards Iron Maiden Jeanne to see her calmly looking at the bound Hao, she didn't look surprised at either the chains or the fact Hao wasn't worried about them at all.

"These are the chains of judgement, one of the many tools at the disposal of my guardian spirit." Jeanne calmly explained as she pointed above her. "They are said to increase in strength in accordance with the amount of sins committed by the person they are restraining. For a person like you, they should be nigh unbreakable."

All the X-Laws as one looked towards their leader in awe and with hope in their eyes.

"Jeanne, Jeanne, Jeanne..." Hao shook his head slowly as he repeated the name of their leader in a slight disappointment. "I think you should know by now that even the strongest of Over Souls are still powered by the Furyoku used by the shaman creating them. There's nothing made by any shaman currently alive strong enough to contain me, no matter its properties or strength."

Lyserg looked at his leader with concern in his eyes.

Surely, what Hao was saying couldn't be true, and even if it was then Jeanne's Furyoku couldn't possibly be so much weaker than Hao as to make her technique useless. Iron Maiden Jeanne was the strongest shaman aside from Hao, if her power wasn't enough to contain Hao then whose was?

"I'm very well aware of that." Jeanne admitted with a serene nod of her head.

All of the X-Laws nearly snapped their necks as they turned their head towards their leader in surprise.

"Oh, then what is the point of this then?" Hao raised his arms with a bit of a struggle to show he was talking about the chains. "Is this your final attempt at doing anything to me by throwing your best attack with the full knowledge it's going to be useless?"

Iron Maiden Jeanne didn't answer and instead simply slowly raised hand up to point directly at Hao.

All the X-Laws became tense and moved closer to their angels to be ready in case something were to happen. They were ready to strike at a moment's notice if their leader wanted it from them.

Hao raised his eyebrow in curiosity.

"You likely already know it, Hao, but Shamash isn't a simple god of justice from the times forgotten." Jeanne said as the wind began to violently gather in the direction she was pointing at. "Back when humanity was still in its infancy, there was a belief that all the sinners were supposed to be judged and sentenced by the gods to the fate they deemed fit for them. People judged by the gods were never sent to a mortals' prison, Hao."

Jeanne tightened the fist of her extended hand.

"They were sent to dimensions and worlds those gods ruled over."

A large corporal gate appeared right behind Hao from all the gathered wind there. It looked majestic with golden and white colours beautifully combining together to make it seem like the most divine object that could exist.

"Shamash's prison was believed to be impossible to get out of." Jeanne said with a serious frown on her face. "Now you will find out just why it gained such a reputation, monster. I hope you are ready."

"What?!" Hao grunted as he turned back to look at the gate behind him.

"Open your prison and let the sinner rot in it for all of eternity, Shamash." Jeanne ordered with a resolute tone to her voice and the gate behind Hao opened with enough force to push anything away from it before starting to pull everything before it inside.

"Open the Gate of Babylon."

Though Jeanne's voice was neither loud or strong, her words echoed through the entire island unopposed. In no time at all there was no person on the island which hadn't heard the name of her attack.

"Do you think something like that is going to defeat me?!" Hao shouted with a slightly mad expression on his face as he was being slowly dragged towards the opened gate. "You fool! Compared to all the threats I dealt with already, escaping your silly attempt at a trap isn't even worth mentioning!"

Fire gathered around the immortal shaman as he charged forward with all his might in order to break through the chains binding him and get away from the Gate of Babylon behind him.

As their only target was struggling to get out of the best attempt at his life, the X-Laws could only put all their effort into not getting sucked in by the Gate of Babylon with Hao and await the result of their leader's plan at victory.

Although Iron Maiden Jeanne might not have been showing any doubt on her face, everyone knew this attack wasn't a guaranteed success, and the moment it failed they would only be able to struggle for their lives as Hao took revenge on them for attempting to stop him from accomplishing his goal.

They just had to hope their desperation and desire to win was enough for fate to favour them this single time.

...

Right outside the island...

...

Raven couldn't help but scowl as she heard the echoing, distant, words of one of the strongest shamans in the tournament coming from the island.

Little miss Torture Device was really getting desperate to deal with Hao, huh?

She normally wouldn't have anything against it, holding anything back when trying to kill a monster like that was just asking to die, but she couldn't stop the nagging feeling she had at the back of her head telling her the final round was advancing a little bit too quickly.

Granted, she wasn't exactly old enough to have personal experience of other Shaman Fights to compare to, but she seriously doubted the shamans back then had been also eliminating each other as quickly as those guys were.

Barely an hour has passed since the brats stepped onto the island, dammit!

At least she thought it was barely an hour, she didn't exactly have a watch with her to check the time and all of her guardian spirits were too busy with either letting her fly on them or trying to hide her from the Great Spirit for her to ask them for time.

As far as she knew it could have been less than half an hour since the finals began.

"Ugh..." She groaned as she tried to make sense of all the survival lessons she almost always slept through back in her tribe and at Beacon.

It wasn't like knowing how to tell the time by looking at the sun was useful to her duties as a shaman and the shaman king tournament judge anyway. In any normal situation she could have always asked her spirit to tell her the time.

A sigh escaped her.

It was a pity it wasn't a normal situation anymore.

"You can't keep distracting yourself from the issue before us, Raven." Silva reminded her annoyingly before turning his head towards the continent behind them with a melancholic look on his face. "We can always return to the Tribes Village and hope the kids will manage on their own, you know?"

She didn't bother to acknowledge the words spoken by her fellow tournament judge in hiding.

Silva sighed.

"I figured you wouldn't want to do that." Silva shook his head before looking at the island. "What are we doing then? Are we going to try helping Iron Maiden Jeanne deal with Hao right now or are we waiting for team ARCS?"

She frowned, optimally they should only help the kids kill Hao right at the very end. There shouldn't be anything else to do for them aside from helping Ozma's soul latch onto Hao and make sure they eliminated each other.

Unfortunately, with the round continuing as quickly as it had, they might actually miss the chance to help the brats in the first place.

At least if they wait for too long.

"We are going to help team RWBY deliver the elemental spirits to team ARCS." She said with a determined expression and tone before stomping on her guardian spirit a bit stronger to tell them to fly forward.

"W-What?" Silva asked with a slight stumble as the bird spirit on which they were standing flew towards the island.

No answer met Silva because she was already too focused on her current objective.

A powerful upwards stream of wind easily capable of lifting adult humans started to form underneath the bird spirit they were flying on as she grinned a little thinking of her plan. She had her daughter and all her friends to pick up and drop to their shaman friends, after all.

...

Deeper into the island...

...

They were getting close to Hao.

Jaune could feel it, quite literally in fact since the pull from the Gate of Babylon they heard Iron Maiden Jeanne open was strong enough to affect them despite their distance.

It wasn't strong enough to leave them helpless against it yet, but it certainly was strong enough for them to be mindful of it, and considering how far they were from its source he didn't want to imagine with what sort of power Hao and the rest of the X-Laws had to deal with right next to the Gate.

He knew he likely wouldn't have managed to fight against it in Hao's place.

Then again he probably would have never had to actually struggle with it anyway. Not only would Jeanne never use such a technique against him but he could always simply teleport away from the attack's range with his Over Soul.

Hao didn't have such an option.

Yet despite that and the fact the immortal shaman was likely being currently assaulted with everything the X-Laws had in them, it apparently still wasn't enough to defeat him as the Gate of Babylon has not closed yet.

He shuddered as he imagined what sort of strength Hao had to match in order to stay alive right now.

Hopefully, when they finally reach the Great Spirit they will either meet with the X-Laws after they have already defeated Hao or they will at least have the Grand Elemental Spirits to help them.

He sighed.

There was no way they could be that lucky.

Almost as if summoned by his thoughts, a loud explosion and clanking sound suddenly echoed through the destroyed forest from the direction they were going towards. He was also pretty sure he heard some panicked screams as well.

"Well, that doesn't sound good." Summer pointed out.

"No, it doesn't." He agreed with gritted teeth as he subconsciously began to speed up. "Let's hurry up, we will have a better chance at dealing with Hao if we work together with the X-Laws."

His friends nodded before breaking into a run.

They didn't manage to get far by running before they were forced to stop in place because of an unexpected gust of wind and screams of surprise suddenly coming from above them, however.

"Watch out!" Four distinctly familiar female voices screamed in shock and surprise from above them as team RWBY quickly fell towards them while flailing around from being unable to properly deploy their landing strategies because of the method of their transportation.

He looked up, all of his friends did as well, and they decided to do the only sensible thing they could and move out of the way of their falling friends to not get dog-piled by them.

They had Aura, they would survive.

Team RWBY collided with the ground with a huge explosion of dirt and dust from impact.

Groans of pain and soreness resounded from all four members of team RWBY as they tried to get up from their fall. Somehow they seemed to be both annoyed and relieved at the same time.

"There you go!" Raven shouted from above them as her bird spirit stopped in place for a moment. "The kids found the elemental spirit! You better learn how to properly use their help against Hao very quickly, because I don't have the time to teach you that myself."

As if to prove her point a powerful and unnatural storm began to gather above as the Great Spirit noticed her presence.

It looked like despite effectively three teams sneaking into the final round being okay with the Great Spirit, having a judge interfere with the tournament was a bit too much for the omniscient being.

Raven immediately moved to leave but before actually doing it, she raised one of her arms to reveal Oscar she was holding.

"I will leave the soul parasite with you as well." Raven threw the poor boy towards them. "Catch."

Barely registering what was happening but still having his instincts to fall onto, Jaune instantly formed his Over Soul and quickly vanished from his location to instantaneously reappear next to the falling boy and grab him.

"Damn this woman." He heard Yang growl in annoyance under him as he slowly fell down with Oscar in his arms. "She could have at least explained what she was doing to us or give us time to prepare a landing strategy."

"It's not so bad." Chocolove argued calmly. "At the very least she did help you get to us faster, didn't she?

An annoyed grumble was the only response the comedic shaman had gotten from Yang.

Jaune slowly shook his head at the interaction before looking a bit more carefully at the ground below him. Seeing that all his friends were fine and he had a place to teleport back to, he decided to do just that and instantly reappeared next to his team and put Oscar back on the ground to let him stand on his own.

"Let's just skip talking about our eventful journey here, please." Weiss said with a tired tone as she and the rest of her team finally stood up and gathered their wits after being literally dropped there.

"You're right, there are more important things to deal with at the moment." Jaune nodded shortly in agreement. "Have you found the Grand Elemental Spirits yet? I don't want to sound impatient but if we don't have them here already, we might end up facing Hao without them."

He shuddered a little at the thought of fighting Hao with their current strength.

They were strong, really strong, but they still couldn't compare to the monster that was Hao.

"Yup!" Ruby said cheerfully while popping the 'p' before turning around to reach for something floating behind her. "Here they are. They have even acknowledged you as worthy of their help already."

"Really?" Whitley asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Yeah." Ruby nodded with an excited grin on her face before revealing four spirits in their ball forms in her hands. "I'm sure you will do just fine in your fight against Hao with them as your companions."

The four spirits floated away from Ruby and moved directly towards the team ARCS members they deemed worthy of their help.

They moved in complete silence and acted like any other spirit in their ball form, aside from their lack of speech. If Jaune wasn't certain those spirits were the four of the most powerful spirits in existence he wouldn't have bat an eye on them in their current forms.

"What!? I was chosen by the Spirit of Thunder?!" Chocolove cried out in surprise and slight dismay. "The Spirit of Wind would have suited me way better."

"Are you serious?" Whitley asked Chocolove with a flat tone while looking at Ren as if it was enough to explain everything.

Ruby snickered a little to herself at the small interaction between them.

Before they could relax however, a loud pained scream suddenly echoed through the whole island instantly snapping their attention back to the tournament. They didn't need any time to think to realise it belonged to Iron Maiden Jeanne.

"X-Laws failed." Jaune said seriously. "Let's hurry up and get to the Great Spirit, guys."

All of his friends nodded instantly.

"Ren, take Oscar on your back, you are our range fighter, he will be the safest with you for the duration of our fight. Choco, go ahead and don't wait for anything, we will catch up the fastest as we can but you will need to likely deliver the first attack on Hao yourself." Jaune turned towards team RWBY. "You four stay here, or even better, retreat as far from the battlefield as you can and I don't want to hear any arguments about that."

Jaune narrowed his eyes as he looked at team RWBY. He knew they had a habit of sneaking into things they shouldn't but this time they really couldn't afford to join the battle against Hao.

"Okay." To his surprise, Ruby, and by extension her team, agreed with his order without any complaints or questions.

"Don't worry we will move as far away from the Great Spirit as physically possible while still staying on the island. Trust us, we know how unbelievably outclassed we are here." Ruby quickly added after she likely saw the doubtful and surprised look on his face."Now, go! You have the tournament to win!"

With everything settled, team ARCS turned towards their single goal and started rushing there as fast as they could.

They knew they were going to meet their strongest enemy yet and that they could very well die there no matter the results of their fight but they didn't wavered for a single second.

It was too late for nerves and fear by now, after all.

...

Near the Great Spirit...

...

Hao Pine was displeased.

When this Shaman Fight started he expected the finals to be a grand battle between him and his followers on one side and all the other finalist teams struggling with all their pathetic might on the other.

It would have been an unforgettable battle worthy of being his final fight before ascension.

Of course, he would have won, just as he was about to do against Jeanne right now, but he would have to struggle and use all of his grand power to defeat other shamans in a fair and majestic fight that would have become a legend.

Instead of that, however, he was met with disappointment after disappointment as his opponents came team by team and always resorted to dirty tricks or dishonourable behaviour which never led to anything.

He scoffed at the notion of real shamans daring to act without respect to their foes.

They all probably learn to act like that from the self-destructive civilisations of the common man.

A wistful sigh escaped him at the thought.

It was yet another reason to eliminate it from the face of Remnant completely, he supposed.

Another crunching noise and scream of pain entered his ears as he slammed into poor little Jeanne with his armour, she might be using Shamash to block the most damage from his attacks but it couldn't protect her from everything.

None of the X-Laws could do anything to stop him as he was nearly effortlessly dealing with their leader. Those petty flying angel cars of theirs might have been a nice curiosity for him but they certainly weren't any threat.

He had to give all those X-Laws a little bit of a credit though, their leader did manage to catch him on a back foot with Shamash's Gate of Babylon. It was a technique that even he, with all of his experience and knowledge, wasn't fully knowledgeable about and if the difference between his and little Jeanne's power wasn't so vast, or if Jeanne had actually worked with Sati to defeat him, he might have actually been in quite a trouble by now.

It truly was an impressive technique.

If he wasn't participating in the Shaman King Tournament this time around, then he would with quite a bit of certainty say that it would have been more than enough to guarantee a win for Jeanne and her team over any other opponent she might have faced in the tournament instead of him.

He sighed once again, it was almost a pity he had to end her right now.

Sadly, there was no place for his enemies in the perfect world he was going to create.

"Let's finish it." He said as he raised one of his armoured arms towards the sky.

Jeanne grunted something in response as she tried to stand steadily on her feet. There was no part of her body that wasn't at least partially cover in her blood anymore, and now not all of it was a result of her own torture device.

He saw fierce defiance and determination in his little Jeanne's eyes as fire began to rapidly form into a miniature sun-like object right above his metallic hand.

It might not be as powerful as a real star yet but it certainly was more than enough to deal with an already dying shaman, no matter how close said shaman was to actually defeating him.

With a single flick of his wrist he threw the burning sun at the dying girl before him, the moment it reached the target it was going to explode into a vast sea of flames hot enough to deal with all of the X-Laws at once.

He was going to enjoy watching those white cloaked fools burn out of existence because of his flames.

Just after the sun of flames left his hand however, something incomprehensibly fast collided with his stomach out of nowhere, sending him hurling through the air from the kinetic energy behind it.

"W-Wha-?" He spat out in befuddlement as he fell from the sky.

He wanted to be angry at whoever did that, but it didn't matter. His attack was already flying through the air, there was no way the same person who attacked him could stop it from colliding in time.

As it turned out, the person who had just sent him flying, didn't even have to try to stop it as a layered mountain of steel and other metals suddenly grew out of the ground and hid his last attack inside it.

A frown appeared on his face as he noticed the appearance of the sudden mountain.

He recognised the power responsible for this mountain, his own guardian spirit used a similar power as well, after all.

It was the power belonging to one of the Five Grand Elemental Spirits!

"Sorry for arriving late, everyone." A familiar voice of the Asakura clan's last living legacy echoed among them unopposed. "We would have arrived earlier but I've heard that dramatic entrances are the most customary for situations like these among shamans."


And cut!

The final battle's about to start and I guess there's like 2-4 chapters left until the end.

Well, I hope I will at least manage to make them interesting.

See ya!
