"There is no way this ends well," said Ranma to himself. That that moment, he was sitting in the middle of class, Shampoo sitting behind him, Kodachi sitting on his left and Akane sitting on is right. His other fiancés had finally started class a week ago and they each managed to sweet talk their way into Ranmas' class. Class had only been going on for an hour but already the girls were giving each other death glairs.
Ranma looked at the empty desk in front of his, surprised Ukyo hadn't taken it. In truth, Shampoo had beaten the principle until he transferred Ukyo out of their homeroom. Ukyo was currently sharing a homeroom on the other side of school with Mousse and neither of them were happy about it.
Kodachi also couldn't stand the fact that she wasn't able to convince her father to transfer that wretched Akane out of the class as well. Meanwhile, Ranma was simply trying to avoid a fight by not making eye contact with any of the girls.
However, even the best of plans could still fail. Ranma began to feel a tingle in his nose and before he knew it, he sneezed. Shampoo was the first to move.
"Ranma, do you need tissue?" asked Shampoo as she leaped out of her desk.
"Ranma darling has no need of your cheap tissues. Here Ranma, take one of mine," shouted Kodachi as she pulled out a tissue that looked like it was made of silk.
However, Shampoo had made it to Ranma first.
"Get away from him," said Kodachi as she pulled out a marble and threw it at Shampoo. Upon contact, the marble exploded, releasing paralysis powder across the room.
"Miss Kuno, report to the principal's office," said Miss Hinako before her body froze.
"Is it ready yet," asked Koruma.
In Megumi's room, Koruma and Masara stood over a hollow body made of silver plates. Megumi stood by a desk flipping through a book.
"Will you idiots give me space? This is a delicate process and I don't want you two messing things up," said Megumi.
"Our master wanted us to help oversee the Twinman's construction. We can't return to him without any news," said Koruma.
"Yeah or old lady Keima will beat us until our bruises have bruises," said Masara.
Megumi sighed, "Fine, just don't get in my way."
Megumi finally found the page she was looking for. Quickly reading the passage, she grabbed a box from the off the desk.
She grabbed a few of Saffrons' feathers that she had taken from him and placed them into a small pot.
"One of you grab a stick and start stirring the pot and don't stop until I tell you," ordered Megumi.
Masara quickly grabbed a wooden spoon from Megumi's desk and started stirring the feathers while Megumi grabbed a cup from her desk and poured it into the pot. Then she slowly started to take out the contents of the box she held.
"What was in the cup?" asked Koruma.
"Liquefied battle aura," said Megumi as she took out a clump of hair from the box.
"What is that gonna do?" asked Masara.
Megumi spoke as she placed the hair inside the pot, "This hair is from each of the rangers. The battle aura is pure and will copy whatever DNA it latches onto first. Therefor with the samples I've gathered, we'll have the fighting styles from every ranger in one being. The phoenix feathers from Saffron will bring the body to life and fuse the battle aura with it."
Megumi started to wave her hands over the pot, using her magic to manipulate the brew. Then in one swift motion, she stuck her hands inside the pot and pulled out a glowing ball of light.
"Get out of my way," she yelled as she rushed through Koruma and Masara.
Megumi made her way over to the vacant body and with all her might, shoved the ball of light into it's chest.
"Now what," asked Masara?
"We wait," said Megumi.
"For how long" asked Koruma as he leaned over the Twinman's face, looking for any sign of life.
Then suddenly, the Twinman's eyes started to glow red. Then its fist shot out and punched Koruma away.
"Not that long," said Megumi.
Twinman looked over at Megumi and she quickly grabbed a small steel rod from her pocket and handed it to her creation.
"My warrior, show me your powers," said Megumi
"Yes mistress," replied Twinman.
He then charged one of his collected battle auras into the rod and it transformed into an exact replica of Ranma's spear.
"He's perfect," said Megumi.
"Great, we'll deliver him to the dark warrior right away," said Masara.
After they left, Megumi frowned, "He's too perfect."
When Kodachi got to the principal's office, she found it empty. There was only a single not left on his desk. It read, "Gon on vacation. Imma be coming back in a week with all new teaching methods. Aloha for now."
Kodachi sighed at the waste of time. Then again, her father was never known for punctuality. As she turned to leave, a coconut from one of the principals plotted palm trees fell and hit her on the head, knocking the gymnast out.
When she awoke, Kodachi was not in a good mood. She picked up the offending coconut and tossed it at the wall so hard that it shattered.
"What's that," said Kodachi as she noticed something green fall out of the coconut.
Kodachi walked over to the object and picked it up.
"Why would a jade snake be inside of a coconut?" she asked herself. Then Kodachi heard the bell ring and noticed that it was lunch time. She must have been unconscious longer than she thought.
"Ranma darling must be hungry" said Kodachi as she placed the snake inside her pocket not noticing it turn a navy blue color.
At lunch, Ukyo and Mousse joined the others, both of them wanting to make sure that Shampoo stayed away from Ranma. They all sat under a tree in the courtyard.
"Hey guys," said Akane as she motioned for Ukyo and Mousse to come sit down.
To Ukyo's frustration, Shampoo was already pulling out a second lunchbox.
"Shampoo make too too delicious lunch for you Ranma," she said as grabbed some food and tried to feed it to Ranma.
Trying to avoid the inevitable fight for as long as possible, Ranma dodged the food Shampoo was trying to feed him and said, "No thanks, Kasumi already made enough food for me."
Ranma then proceeded to scarf down his lunch as though it were his last.
"You're such a pig Ranma," said Akane.
It was then that Mousse noticed, "So, why haven't you tried to get Konatsu enrolled in school Ukyo?"
Ukyo shrugged, "Believe it or not, Konatsu declined the offer. He said he felt more useful staying at the restaurant and keeping it clean for the lunch and dinner rushes."
"Why don't you just drag him to class?" asked Akane.
"Believe me, I've considered it," replied Ukyo.
Then they all heard a familiar maniacal laugh.
"Ranma darling, I've made a spectacular lunch just for the two of us," said Kodachi as she leaped towards them.
Ranma looked over at the others for some support but Akane and Mousse had already left.
Ranma was about to get up as well but he was stopped in his tracks when Kodachi's ribbon wrapped around his legs.
"Going somewhere Ranma?" asked Kodachi.
"Look, I just ate. I'm full and I need to go by the library to study," stammered Ranma as he unwrapped his legs from the ribbon.
"Oh, ok then I'll come with you and help you study," said Kodachi.
"No that's ok, you enjoy your lunch," said Ranma as he quickly ran off, with Shampoo and Ukyo in pursuit.
Kodachi sat alone underneath the tree. Sighing, she suddenly lost her appetite and just sat in silence.
"Thanks for letting me stay here for the night Doc," said Ryoga as he ate the small lunch that Tofu had made for them.
"No problem. I'm always glad to help a friend," said Tofu.
"So how's it going with Kasumi?"
Tofu suddenly lost some of his focus at the mention of Kasumi's name, "It's going good I guess. We haven't really been on a date since we went to the movies last week. But we did have a nice phone conversation. At least the first minute was nice. I don't remember the rest."
Ryoga took a sip of tea when suddenly, a powerful force shook Tofu's clinic, knocking everything out of place.
"What was that?" asked Ryoga.
"Let's go find out," said Tofu.
They stepped out of the clinic to find Konatsu running towards them.
"Guys, did you feel the tremors?" asked Konatsu.
"Yeah, kind strange don't you think," said Ryoga.
"You'd think they would have had a radio broadcast to warn us," said Tofu.
"Should we call the others?" asked Konatsu.
"Strange, I can feel the presence of the others coming near us," said Tofu.
Then another tremor hit, knocking them off their feet. When they got back up a figure dressed in silver armor stood above them.
"What kind of demon is that," asked Konatsu.
Tofu adjusted his glasses, "I feel strong aura's coming from it. We should be careful."
The three of them grabbed their morphers, "Sheng Xiao! Power Up!"
"Bird warriors attack" shouted the demon.
As the rangers charged the demon, six bird warriors descended from the sky.
"I can handle them, you guys worry about the demon," said Konatsu as he summoned his daggers.
The warriors flew down low. Tofu and Ryoga easily jumped over them while Konatsu ducked underneath.
As the green ranger got up he said, "I guess I'll have to even things up." Konatsu then threw down a smoke bomb, momentarily disorienting the bird warriors. When the smoke cleared, there were a total of four green rangers charging at the warriors.
The first bird warrior flew towards the Konatsus. Then one of them leaped up and kicked the warrior out of the air. Just as Konatsu landed back on the ground, a bird warrior attempted to kick him from behind only to have his foot meet with nothing but air, the clone having disappeared the moment the warrior made contact.
The remaining three Konatsus threw down smoke bombs and leapt away. The disoriented bird warriors looked around in the smoke before three of them suddenly fell to the ground as green streaks of light slashed through them, leaving large cuts across their armor.
The remaining two bird warriors flew up out of the smoke. Once they were in the sky, two of the Konatsus leaped into the air to meet them. However, just as the green rangers were within reach, the bird warriors grabbed them and tossed them down on the ground, causing them to disappear.
Once the warriors were distracted with the clones, two daggers flew up and knocked the two warriors out of the air.
Meanwhile, as Ryoga and Tofu closed in on Twinman, the demons eyes turned yellow. Then the rod in his hand changed into a giant hammer which he pounded on the ground. The resulting tremor knocked the rangers off their feet.
"Great, a demon with earth powers," said Ryoga.
"I don't think that's the case," said Tofu.
Then Twinman's eyes turned pink and he snapped the hammer in half as it became a pair of chui. The demon leaped up and tossed the chui, striking both Ryoga and Tofu in the chest. Twinman then snapped his fingers and the chui returned to his hands.
"What kind of power is that?" said Ryoga.
Twinman's eyes then turned blue and his aura suddenly became very heavy.
"Your power is my power," said Twinman before firing a blast of heavy ki at the rangers.
Luckily, Tofu and Ryoga were able to dodge the blast in time.
Tofu was the first to recover. The violet ranger summoned his claws and started slashing at the demon.
Twinman laughed, "You're good. Focusing your energy on critical strikes or waiting for an opening so you can paralyze me through pressure points. I'll have to try that style for myself."
Then the demon's eyes turned purple and a pair of claws appeared on his hands.
Tofu suddenly felt like he was fighting a mirror image of himself. The demon blocked and countered each one of his attacks like they were nothing.
Then Ryoga's umbrella came spinning towards them, forcing Twinman to leap out of the way.
"Your attacks are useless. I know all your fighting styles and all your techniques."
Ryoga then charged the demon who suddenly grabbed his fist and countered with a punch of equal strength, sending the blue ranger flying back.
Then two green rangers leapt towards Twinman who counted by tossing two daggers at them, dispersing the clones. Then Twinman turned around, and grabbed the real green ranger and slammed him on the ground.
"Your strength and deception means nothing compared to me," said the demon.
"He sure likes to gloat doesn't he," said Konatsu.
Twinman's eyes suddenly went red as he shouted, "Double Moko Takabisha." Then two large blast of ki shout of from his hands and sent all three rangers through several walls.
"I think we should retreat for now," said Tofu.
"I agree. We need to get the others," said Rygoa who was clutching his arm.
"They should all be at the school," said Konatsu.
Then they teleported away.
"You can't run for long," said Twinman.
Ukyo, Akane, Shampoo and Mousse sat on the bleachers during gym class watching Ranma effortlessly walk on the balance beam. Every non martial artist in the room looked at him in awe at his casual display of athleticism.
"Show off," said Mousse.
"You'd think he'd be sick of it since he does the same thing on the fence every morning," said Akane.
"Ranchan does love the attention," said Ukyo
Ranma jumped down and walked over.
"What are you guys talking about?" he asked.
"Nothing," said Shampoo.
Ranma shrugged and sat down. A few minutes later, they noticed Kodachi walk in. She walked up to the gym teacher and asked, "I Kodachi Kuno would like to formally ask permission to join your schools gymnastics team."
The teacher looked over at her and said, "Sorry miss Kuno. I know your reputation. Even though you are an excellent gymnast, I'm told you also cheat."
"But I…"
"Sorry Miss Kuno, but our team has no place for cheaters."
With that, the teacher walked off.
"Too bad for her," said Shampoo.
"Still, I feel kind of sorry for her," said Akane.
"I'd get ready to run if I were you guys. If I know Kodachi, she's not going to take this well," said Ranma.
They all got up and expected something along the lines of a paralysis powder bomb to go off. However, much to their surprise, Kodachi simply stamped her foot and walked away.
"That did not go how I was expecting," said Mousse.
"I guess that's a good thing," said Ukyo.
"Someone should go talk to her," said Akane.
Akane wasn't surprised when no one volunteered.
"Fine, I'll do it," she said.
Akane was about to leave when she and the others heard their morphers, "Guys, its Ryoga. There is a demon loose in the city. It's really strong. Tofu, Konatsu and I are at the Cat Café."
Ranma quickly responded, "We're on our way."
Not caring that school wasn't over yet, Ranma and the others quickly made their way out of the building. Unfortunately for Ranma, a water fountain broke and sprayed him, triggering his curse. Luckily, Shampoo and Mousse were able to avoid the spray.
Once the rangers thought they had found a safe hiding spot, they teleported to the Cat Café.
Kodachi's eyes widened. Her day had suddenly gone from a complete disappointment to something very interesting. She had just been sulking outside the school when she saw that horrid pig tailed girl and several more of her rivals vanish in a rainbow of light. Then she felt something in her pocket began to pulsate. She reached in and pulled out the now navy blue snake figure.
"What is going on," Kodachi asked herself.
Then the snake suddenly came to life and coiled around Kodachis's hand. Then in a bright flash of blue light, the snake transformed into a zodiac morpher.
Then, seemingly of its own accord, the morpher began to glow and Kodachi found herself surrounded by the light it was giving off. The next thing she knew, she was lifted off the ground and seconds later, she was transported to the Cat Café.
No one seemed to notice her entrance as they were crowded around Ryoga, Tofu and Konatsu. Ryoga only had a few bruises but Tofu and Konatsu looked as though they had just gone through several rounds with Saffron.
"What happened," asked Ukyo as she watched Tofu bandage Konatsu's arm. Tofu himself had already bandaged up his torso and his breathing was a little strained.
"The demon is made up of our combined battle auras. It was like fighting a mirror," said Tofu.
"He knew all our techniques and fighting styles," said Konatsu.
"Did he have any kind of weakness?" asked Mousse.
"Nothing noticeable," said Ryoga.
"Alright, let's get going. Can either of you three still fight?" asked Ranma.
"I can, but I don't know about the other two," said Ryoga.
Tofu and Konatsu were about to get up when Akane noticed them both wince from their injuries.
"You two should stay and let your injuries heal," said Akane.
They were about to morph when Kodachi made her presence known.
"What on earth is going on," she yelled.
"Aiya, what you doing here," said Shampoo.
Out of know where, Cologne hopped over and held up Kodachi's wrist, "It seems we have another ranger among us."
"Will one of you tell me what's going on?" said Kodachi as she pulled her wrist from Colognes grip.
"To make things short, evil demons want to rule the world and we have to protect it," said Ukyo.
Each ranger in the room held up their wrist to show the confused gymnast their morphers.
"The jade figures sense the goodness in one's heart. That is why the snake brought you to us," said Cologne.
"And what if I don't want to work with any of you," said Kodachi, her eyes locked on the pigtailed girl.
Cologne shrugged, "Then we take your morpher and wipe your memory. We do have to keep this all a secret you know."
Before Kodachi could say anything else, Ranma said, "Look, we'll deal with this later. We have to go."
Then the rangers minus, Konatsu, and Tofu morphed into heroes that Kodachi had only seen on TV.
Then the rangers left, leaving Kodachi and the others behind.
"So how do we find the demon?" asked Akane.
"With our luck, it'll come to us," said Ranma.
"Actually, you came to me," laughed Twinman as he burst from underneath the rangers. His aura glowed blue and his index finger was extended.
"That's my breaking point," said Ryoga.
"This is yours too. Shi Shi Hokodan," shouted Twinman before firing a blast of ki towards the rangers.
"Duck," shouted Ranma.
As the rangers avoided Twinman's attack, Mousse summoned his nunchucks and quickly wrapped them around the demon.
"I got him," said Mousse.
Shampoo and Ukyo each attempted to jump kick the bound demon only for him to disappear and be replaced with a log. The loss of a target caused the pink and white rangers to collide with each other in midair.
"Where did he go," said Akane.
"Look out," shouted Ranma as she pushed Akane out the way.
They had moved just in time as six Twinmen dropped down from the sky, nearly landing on them.
"Something I learned from your green friend," laughed one of the Twinmen.
"Now what?" muttered Ukyo.
Then the six Twinmens' auras instantly changed from green to the six colors each of the rangers wore. Along with the aura change, the Twinmen each summoned the rangers corresponding weapon.
"Let's get him guys," said Ranma as she and the rangers charged.
"I think the rangers could use your help," said Cologne.
"She's right. Your reputation as champion gymnast could come in handy," said Tofu.
Kodachi sighed as she stared at her morpher, "Doesn't seem like anyone needs me around. My Ranma darling runs away every time I'm near him. Probably going off to see that horrid pigtailed girl."
"Pigtailed girl? Don't you know that Ranma has a curse?" asked Konatsu.
Kodachi suddenly perked up, "What do mean curse."
She ran over and grabbed Konatsu who stuttered, "He turns into a girl with cold water."
"That is absurd. You're lying. Things like that do not happen in real life," said Kodachi.
"Is it any more absurd than people fighting monsters inside a giant robot," said Cologne.
Kodachi let go of the ninja. The old woman did have a point.
"So is Ranma a man or a woman?" asked Kodachi.
"Ranma is a boy. The pigtailed girl is his cursed form," said Tofu.
Kodachi started rubbing her forehead, "So they really are of one body and one mind. I'll have to see this for myself."
"To do that, you should go help them fight the demon. With another ranger, they could end the battle quicker and you can have your proof faster," said Cologne.
"She makes a good point," said Konatsu.
"I do see the logic in your words. Very well, I will help them."
Kodachi looked at her morpher and pressed the button with the snake slithering down the middle while calling out, "Sheng Xiao! Power Up!"
Cologne, Konatsu, and Tofu looked on in fascination as light flashed around Kodachi, transforming her into the navy Sheng Xiao ranger.
"The light, it feels warm," said Kodachi.
"You should get going. You're wasting time," said Cologne.
Kodachi nodded and teleported out of the restaurant.
Mousse flew backwards, slamming into a wall. He looked up only to see the Twinman with the black aura coming towards him, swinging a pair of copied nunchucks.
"No way I'm losing to you," said Mousse as he got up.
The other rangers weren't faring any better. The pink Twinman had Shampoo in headlock while the white Twinman easily deflected a kick from Ukyo using his own battle spatula.
"Come on, we can win this," said Ranma as she blocked a swing from the Red Twinmans' sword.
"Are you so sure," laughed the red Twinman. The demon then kicked Ranma away and his sword transformed into a spear. Twinman then swung his spear, slashing Ranma across the chest and knocking her down.
"Ranma, I'm coming," shouted Akane as she turned her back on her opponent and ran towards the fallen red ranger.
"Not so fast," said the yellow Twinman. The demon saw his opening and threw his hammer, striking the yellow ranger in the back.
Akane fell only a few feet away from Ranma.
"Akane," shouted Ryoga. The blue ranger quickly opened his umbrella to shield against the Blue Twinman's attacks
"No one hurts my friends and gets away with it," said Ukyo
"Amazons don't go down easy," said Shampoo
"We'll see about that," laughed the red Twinman.
"What now," said Mousse?
Suddenly, the black Twinman kicked Mousse away and into Ranma and Akane who were just getting back up.
Without knowing it, the rangers had all been corralled together. Once they were huddled together, the black Twinman tossed one end of his nunchucks to the yellow Twinman and the two proceeded to tie the six rangers together.
"What are they doing," said Ukyo.
Then five of the Twinmen's auras became red and the air around them went cold. Three of the Twinmen jumped towards the rangers and started producing a warm battle aura.
"Oh no! I think they're going to use the hiryu shoten ha," said Ranma.
The wind around the rangers began to pick up.
"Does anyone have plan?" asked Shampoo.
"Hold on for dear life," replied Mousse.
As the rangers braced themselves for the coming cyclone, a navy blue streak of light appeared before them.
"Kodachi," muttered Ukyo.
As soon as her name was said, Kodachi leaped into battle. She laughed as she raised her hands, then the wind began to blow and many navy blue rose petals flew through the air.
"What good are flower petals going to do?" laughed Twinman. Then the demon looked around to see that the petals had specifically targeted his clones and put them to sleep. Quickly, he transformed his weapon into Ryoga's umbrella and opened it to block Kodachi's attack.
Kodachi didn't give him a chance to counter. She ran forward towards the demon and kicked the umbrella out of his hands. Instinctually, Kodachi summoned a large chakram which reminded her of her bladed hula hoop. The navy ranger quickly jumped away, tossing her chakram in midair, striking Twinman in the chest and cracking his armor.
Twinman tried to counter by hitting a pressure point to numb Kodachi's legs but Kodachi instantly flipped over him and slammed her chakram on the back of the demons head. Kodachi then swept his legs out from under him and drop kicked the demon while he was down.
"She not bad," said Shampoo.
"So far, she's getting lucky," said Ranma as she finally cut through the nunchuck cord with her sword.
"What do you mean," asked Akane.
"Think about it. Any one of us could avoid Kodachi's attacks in an actual fight. If Twinman has all of our skills combined then he should have won this by now," said Ranma.
"I don't think that's the case," said Mousse. "I could feel it in his aura when I was fighting him. Think of him like a machine and his fighting style was specifically set to counter one of ours. Since he wasn't set to counter anyone new, it's like his circuits are messed up. He doesn't know what to do."
"So you're basically saying that any fighter who was not one of use could have beaten him," asked Ukyo.
"Pretty much," replied Mousse.
"It kind of embarrassing if think about it," said Shampoo.
With that, the rangers rejoined the fight. Kodachi threw her chakram, hitting Twinman on the side of his face and distracting him. Ukyo and Shampoo used the opening to hit the demon with a duel jump kick. Twinman staggered back and looked down to find Mousse's nunchucks wrapped around his legs. Soon, the demon was pulled off his feet. Once the demon fell, Akane slammed her hammer on the ground as hard as she could, the resulting tremor tossing him into the air. Finally, Ranma and Ryoga gathered their ki and fired blast of light and heavy ki. Their attacks collided with the demon, knocked him out of the air, and sent him crashing the ground.
"Mistress I have failed you," said Twinman as he fell to his knees. The armor that made up his body looked like broken glass.
Kodachi stepped forward and sent her chakram flying towards the demon. Her weapon shattered Twinman's body and the shards of his armor became nothing but black dust.
"Great job Kodachi," said Ranma as she walked up to the navy ranger. However, Kodachi turned on her and said, "I need to have a word with you."
Back at the Cat Café, Kodachi had spent the past five minutes repeatedly pouring hot and cold water on a very annoyed Ranma.
"Just how long have you been keeping this a secret from me?" asked Kodachi.
"It's no secret. You and your brother just never listened," said the now male Ranma.
"So then what are you, shape shifter?"
"I'm a man. My girl form is the curse."
"And my brother thinks you're a woman?"
"Don't remind me."
There was a silence in the room before Kodachi started laughing uncontrollably. She then took out her trademark ribbon and used it to pull Ranma closer. "The fact that my brother fancies your female side is more than hilarious. As such, I have decided to forgive your deception. Now that I know something personal about you, we are a much stronger couple."
Then Kodachi hugged him.
"What is she talking about," said Ukyo angrily.
"Ranma is Shampoo's," said Shampoo.
As Ukyo and Shampoo came closer to attack, Ranma looked towards the others for help. Every one of them pretended to be busy, except Akane who had left the building, slamming the door behind her.
Keima leaned against the wall of the throne room. She had an evil smile on her face while she watched Megumi bow before the dark warrior.
"I'm sorry for my failure. Please forgive me," pleaded Megumi.
Then to Keima's surprise, Kage just scoffed, "It doesn't matter. I never believed your plan would succeed. Twinman's flaws were too noticeable. I only needed him to distract the rangers while I had Saffron locate and retrieve this for me."
Then Kage held a golden oil lamp in his hands.
Kage laughed, "With this, the rangers will no longer be a problem."
The next day, the rangers once again sat outside for lunch. Soon, they saw Kodachi coming towards them.
Shampoo was about to say something when Akane cut her off, "She's part of the team now and she saved our butts yesterday. If we can learn to tolerate each other, we can tolerate her."
"Fine, just as long as she doesn't try anything funny with Ranchan," said Ukyo.
Kodachi walked up to them with a hopeful look on her face. Then to the other rangers smiled and made room for her to sit.
(Authors notes)
Hey everyone. I know and I'm sorry I haven't updated in forever. As you know, the real world (and School) tends to come first. I haven't had a lot of time to write. Also writing was slowed down due to my computer crashing. Therefor since I am writing this on my new laptop, I do not have access to any of my other documents regarding this fic which include future story outlines, list of monsters etc. So needless to say, I have to start from scratch.
Anyway, I wanted to get this chapter out ASAP and I hope you all enjoy it. Unfortunately because of the real world, chapters probably won't come out as fast as before. But trust me, this fic is not forgotten and like I've said before, I fully intend to finish it. And since you've all been patient, I'm going to push forward with a storyline that I've been planning since the beginning of this fic.
