Episode 005: Arrival of the Armored Wizard
"I have your food and drinks right here!" Mirajane said with a smile as she placed the dishes piled high0 with food atop team Natsu's table.
"Thanks for the grub! Looks like it's chow time!" Natsu said before tearing into a chicken leg.
"Aye!" Happy agreed before chowing down on his fish (what else?).
"So Lucy, how has working at the guild been for you?" Mira asked kindly.
"All of the excessive craziness aside I've actually been having the time of my life," Lucy said gleefully. "I mean, maybe I lost that last two million that we were supposed to get, but I'm still sitting pretty."
"No kidding," Natsu muttered as swallow a large bite of roasted pork. "These last few days we've done nothing but take local small time jobs, just so Lucy could have enough to pay her rent..."
"Rent money's important!" Lucy exclaimed angrily.
"My, I'm surprised that you managed to coax Natsu into helping you though," Mira said with a strange tone of pride. "Normally he doesn't listen to anyone, so you must have a bit of control of him."
"As if... our dad wasn't going to let us rest until he made sure her share of the money was large enough for her to get by," Natsu told her before drinking. "Lucy's one thing, but I'm not about to argue when dad glares at us like that."
"Aye," Happy agreed somberly.
"I'm sorry, your... dad?" Mira asked, knowing it very well couldn't be Igneel.
"He means Ragna," the cat explained.
"Ragna?" Mira thought aloud before glancing to the other side of the room.
She'd been surprised when Ragna had come up to her earlier that morning and asked if he could earn a few jewels by working in the kitchen that day. She'd been slightly skeptical about his abilities to cook, but he'd been rather adamant so she decided he could help for at least a bit. Currently, the Reaper was dressed in a black apron and using the giant frying pan he'd obtained from the Vanish Brother's to cook an order of Bell Peppers and Beef. Having one arm meant he'd occasionally have to move faster than the eye could see to cook the food, but Ragna found it an easy method to retrain his coordination. He'd also helped with the baking earlier, leaving Mira surprised that he seemed to have a rather decent collection of recipes committed just to memory.
"Order up," the Reaper called as he moved the food to one of the plates before Jet (a member of the Guild) took the plate. "Anyone else need food?"
"Just a couple of beers over here," Wakaba said as he continued to smoke his pipe.
"Ain't it a little early to start drinking?" Ragna thought with a groan before he used Requip magic on the frying pan to store it, causing everyone in the guild to cringe. "Stop it, that's getting real annoying anytime I want to use that magic."
"We have enough reason to be scared..." Macao said, only leading for Ragna to roll his eye yet again as he set the beers between him and Wakaba.
"Tch, whatever..." he muttered before heading back to the desk where he took out a bento box and removed his apron. "Mira, I'm on break." With the nod and smile he'd gotten from the fellow silver hair, Ragna headed over to Team Natsu's table. "Enjoying the food?"
"I'm still surprised you cooked this, you never told us you were a master chef," Lucy told him with a large hint of surprise.
"You never asked," Ragna retorted before breaking his chopsticks and beginning to eat his own meal.
"Of course Natsu will just chow down on anything at all and not care at all about the taste, like a glutton," Gray muttered.
"You got a bone to pick with me, ice head?" Natsu demanded.
"As long as you're not already choking on one, flame gullet," Gray retorted.
"Looks like they're back at it again," Lucy thought aloud with a sigh.
"Aye," Happy agreed.
"They've always been like this, in fact the only person who's ever been able to stop them is Erza," Mira told them. ...All at once the guild was silent.
"Who?" Ragna questioned, glancing around the cringing guild members.
"Wait, you mean Titania Erza?' Lucy asked with a sense of amazement.
"Who?" the Reaper said once more.
"You've never heard of her?" Lucy questioned. "Sorcerer's Weekly writes about her all of the time, she's one of the strongest and most popular Fairly Tail wizards on record."
"She's... terrifying..." Natsu said shakily.
"For once... I agree with him..." Gray said in turn. "Even Makarov gets worried when she heads out on a job..."
"So to clear the air, is her magic anything like mine?" Ragna asked Mira.
"In a way, but she has a few extra abilities to add to it," Mira explained. "She's currently an S ranked wizard in the guild; a wizard that's allowed to go to the second floor and take important S rank quests."
"Sounds like a tough woman," Ragna muttered.
"You really don't know the half of it," Gray managed to get out through his terror.
"By the way, where is the old man? I haven't seen him around all day," Natsu asked.
"He probably left for the Guild Leader's summit earlier today," Ragna explained. "Some sort of meeting with other guild leaders around the area."
"How did you know?" Mira asked, confused that the Reaper had discovered this on his own yet had no idea who Erza was.
"...Spoke to the old coot yesterday," Ragna said as he started chewing a piece of sushi and thought back.
Flashback -A Few Days Ago-
"You wanted to see me?" the Reaper questioned as he headed into Makarov's study.
"Yes, I'd heard you'd left on a rather expensive job yesterday, so I was curious to see how it went," the guild teacher asked him as he appeared to be packing a bag via magic.
"Not too different from when I met Natsu and Lucy, some crazy shit went down, there was a pervert that had beef with Lucy, and Natsu went all out and destroyed the place despite telling him not to." Makarov's grimace was easily noticeable at that last one.
"I see... and the reward money?"
"Long story short we turned it down; family matter," Ragna explained to him. "Wasn't a total loss though; I managed to get a couple of weapons from some mercenaries and from some masked freak called Gilga-something."
"Gilga... Are you talking about Gilgamesh?" Makarov demanded, seeming upset. "As in one of the Blades of Gilgamesh?"
"The thirteenth yeah, that's what he called himself," Ragna explained as he summoned his sword to show to Makarov. "Gave me his sword and title after I beat him, why?"
"...You've just been forced into a world of trouble," Makarov told him with a sigh. "What do you know of them so far?"
"Only that they're a group of warriors that work as mercenaries and seem to hate Mages with a passion. I don't see anything wrong so far... now that I think of it though, that Thirteen guy did say something about 'Twelve' coming for me, whatever that means."
"It means that the twelfth member of their order will come to kill you... followed by the eleventh if you survive... then the tenth... and so on and so forth," Makarov said, appearing disappointed on the transpiring events. "Having you, a wizard, become a part of their order is a blow against them as a whole and they'll begin to work to remove you from it... Only two other wizards have ever been forced into this fight and both of them died early in."
"...Will they attack the guild to get to me?" Ragna asked, suspecting that Makarov may have known the other two wizards.
"...I wouldn't assume so, they still claim to have honor and I doubt you'd run from their demands to a battle... Regardless, they'll come for you eventually and you'll have to be ready; your life is on the line."
"Meaning I'll need to keep practicing my magic in the meantime," the Reaper concluded with a sigh.
"Speaking of which, have you managed to-?"
"No, and I doubt it's ever going to work," Ragna said in response, though he oddly didn't seem upset... almost relieved really. "Doesn't really matter, I've got other moves to rely on... once I give them a little work anyways."
"Keep your practicing constant then, you'll need to with what you're about to face," Makarov instructed.
"The way you're talking about them, it almost sounds like you've once had a run-in with these guys," Ragna accused.
"...That's a story for another time," Makarov promised. "For now I'm busy with preparing for my trip."
"You're leaving? For what?"
"A Summit meeting between the leaders of this area's Mage Guilds... though its mostly an excuse for old friends to see each other and challenge one another to a couple rounds of drinking," Makarov said with something of a whimsical smile.
"Tch, that must be nice," Ragna growled. "Meanwhile I'm stuck with three crazy kids to take care of..."
"Three crazy children?" Makarov questioned, apparently not getting it.
"My team, apparently I had a choice between being called old man or dad and I had to settle on one," the Reaper said, leaving Makarov surprised as Ragna headed out the door. "Later, old timer."
-Back to the Present-
'Anywhere I go there's always some asshole after my head and this isn't the first time they've been hiding behind a mask,' Ragna thought wistfully to himself. 'I guess I'm just going to have to get back up to full as fast as I can so I can kick their asses.'
"So, you're Lucy right?" the Reaper heard a familiar voice say. He cringed as he recognized its owner was none other than Loki, Fairy Tail's resident womanizer. Noticing how he was leaning over the table close to the celestial wizard, it was clear that he was about to try and put the moves on her... Ragna decided he'd wait to see if he was needed before doing anything reckless. "I'm Loki, haven't had the chance to properly introduce myself. How are ya?"
"Fine for the near week that I've already been here, too busy flirting with other girls?" Lucy demanded leaving Ragna to chuckle before he took another bite of his sushi. Maybe he wasn't needed here after all. "What do you want?"
"Just to extend a friendly offer, nothing more," he told her, coolly adjusting his glasses. "I've noticed that all you've been doing is team up with Natsu and Happy. Maybe you'd like a variation on the order?"
'Then what am I? Chopped liver?'
"Then what's Ragna? Chopped liver?" Lucy retorted with an annoyed scowl.
'Atta girl.'
"Not in the slightest. So how about it, a little variance?" Loki continued, not addressing Ragna for long at all.
"I dunno, let me check," Ragna interjected before calling to the nearby table. "Hey Gray! Think you can work with us if Natsu's on the team?"
"In hell!"
"There you go, we're good," Ragna said smugly before taking his last bite from his Bento box. Extending his arm, he re-summoned his frying pan and slung it over his shoulder before standing. "Anyone got an order?"
"Just an order for a budding romance," Loki said as he held Lucy's hand. "One that can-"
WHACK!
"Sorry, you say something?" Ragna said with fake obliviousness as Loki smacked face first into the table after he'd hit the back of his head with his frying pan in a comical 'accident turn'.
"Unlike some men here, I don't like to fight dir...ty?" Loki said as he noticed something shiny on Lucy's waist. "Are-are those celestial keys?"
"You wanted to flirt with her without knowing she was a Celestial Wizard?" Ragna questioned. "Wouldn't a playboy like you have done resear-?"
"YOU'RE A CELESTIAL WIZARD!?" Loki screamed (not unlike whenever someone says ghost around Ragna). "I'M SORRY LUCY BUT OUR LOVE IS NOT MEANT TO BE!" He then ran out of the guild with tears in his eyes in an extremely dramatic (hammy) portrayal.
"...Well that was fun," Ragna said with a smirk as he headed back to the kitchen.
"Hey Ragna, three stick of Dango!" Elfman called out. "Extra manly!"
"On it," Ragna acknowledged as he immediately went back to work with Mira (though he had little idea how to make the Dango manly, whatever that meant). "So what's the story with Loki and Celestial Wizards?"
"Not completely sure, but I think he had a bad relationship when he dated another one," Mira said as she thought back with a smile. "I think the only time he was nearly that shaken was when his advances were rewarded by a punch in the face from-"
"ERZA!" Loki shouted as he ran back into the guild covered in sweat. All at once, everyone save for Ragna and Mira went completely still. "ERZA'S IN TOWN AT THIS VERY MOMENT! SHE'S COMING BACK TO THE GUILD!"
"She... she's what?" Gray said as he cringed. For once, no one bothered addressing the fact that he had once more stripped down to his boxers. "This... this isn't..."
'Damn, these people are completely terrified of her,' Ragna thought to himself as he continued preparing Elfman's dango sticks as he thought back. 'Wonder if she's anything like the masked freak back home... Let's hope not.'
The sounds of a heavy metal boot hitting the floor then echoed across the guild, leaving everyone's frozen form to twitch for a moment. Steeping into the guild came a red haired woman, carrying some sort of giant horn over her shoulder. The woman was wearing a silvery metal suit armor on her top and a blue long skirt around her legs. Her eyes gave off the impression of a 'no-nonsense' type of glare. Roughly setting her horn down on the floor, the sheer weight of the thing was enough to cause the guild to shake from the weight.
'Funny; she looks more like that chick that was clinging to my brother than that masked freak,' Ragna thought to himself. 'Though that scowl of hers is definitely closer to butt-floss's... Somehow I don't think we'll be getting along that well.'
"Welcome back Erza," Mirajane said with her regular smile. "How did the job go?"
"Manageable," Erza told her simply.
"So um, what's with that huge horn?" a nervous Elfman asked, turning completely terrified when Erza put him under her gaze. "Eeep!"
"It's a trophy from the monster that I defeated," the newcomer explained. "The town I had saved was generous enough to decorate it for me, so I brought it back to the guild." Her eyes narrowed into a sharp glare. "Is there a problem?"
"N-N-NO! NO PROBLEM!" Elfman shouted frantically waving his hands in front of himself. Erza seemed to purse her lips as she didn't avert her gaze from the much larger man. Elfman continued to sweat bullets and-
"Lay off him will ya? You already had him terrified when you walked in here," Ragna said, leading for everyone in the guild to stand agape at him as Erza now had her gaze focused upon his person.
"Looks like we're going to be orphans," Natsu said darkly.
"Aye, dad's going to die," Happy agreed sadly.
"And you're just letting it happen!?" Lucy shouted at them.
Erza didn't respond immediately to the chaos surrounding her, only keeping her gaze directed at the at the Reaper before her as he both received the expression and continued to fry Elfman's Dango sticks.
"Oi, I know that I'm not the easiest person to look at with this eye and arm, but there's no reason to be rude and stare," he told her off passively.
Erza then seemed to chuckle and gave a small smile. "I suppose you have a point, though I don't believe you were a member of the guild when I left."
"I became one pretty recently," Ragna told her as he took the prepared snack over to a paralyzed Elfman who was just staring at the man who had dared to talk back to Erza, as was the rest of the guild. "Name's Ragna, I joined with Lucy over there," he said gesturing over to Lucy with his head before thrusting the plate of Dango into Elfman's hands.
Now having the red head's eye on her, Lucy was beginning to see why the rest of the guild was terrified of her and acted so strangely when Ragna used the supposedly same magic as her. Even just being looked at by this woman was another level of horror. Erza then gave Lucy a pleasant smile, one that Ragna recognized as a warm greeting between close friends.
"It's nice to meet you then, I hope our guild has been treating you well," the red head told her.
"I...I've been doing fine," Lucy said nervously, right before Erza's expression turned serious once more. "Eep!" Luckily, it seemed like this far angrier look was directed towards the rest of the guild.
"As for the rest of you, I'd have some very choice words to say about your recent performances and the stories that have been made of them." Everyone in the guild looked guilty, almost seeming to hang their heads in shame. "But I'm afraid that will have to wait until later. Where are Gray and Natsu?"
"We're over here, aye!" Natsu said oddly cheerfully. Turning his gaze over to the two, Ragna saw that the two were in an awkward side hug trying to appear like they were close friends.
"Yeah, just two best buddies for life!" Gray said just as happily, while clearly terrified for dear life.
"Yare yare daze..." Ragna muttered as he face palmed at the display. 'She's got the whole damn guild on a leash, that or she's trying to be the guild mo- Okay, not thinking about THAT one any further.'
"I'm happy to see that the two of you are getting along," Erza told them with a pleased smile before once more turning serious. "I'm going to need the both of you to come with me; there's a job that's far too important to do alone. I'd rather go to the Guild master, but I know that he's already left for the summit."
"Holy..." Cana began. "She's asking them for help?"
'She wants me to work with this Ice Stripper?' Natsu thought to himself as he glared at Gray.
'Natsu and I on the same team? Can that even work?' Gray thought as he glared back.
"I never could have seen this coming," Mira said in worried awe beside Lucy. "Natsu, Gray, and Erza all on the same team? This could be the strongest team in Fairy Tail..."
'Meaning they'll likely blow up a city or two in the process,' Ragna thought to himself.
"Now, we have a train to catch in an hour, so be ready," Erza told the other two before looking at the confections on the table. "Of course, I suppose I can take a short break." Quickly laying down a sum of jewels on the table, Erza cut and served herself a slice of strawberry cake before sitting down at one of the open tables while everyone gave her a wide berth. Erza then took a single bite of said slice of cake before pausing.
"I-Is something wrong?" Mirajane asked before the red head stood back up dramatically. "Erza?"
"What have you done to change the recipe Mira!? This tastes amazing!" she shouted, surprising everyone as she strayed from her normally deadly serious attitude. "The softer and smoother texture of the cake, the rich taste and even spread of the cream, and the slices of perfectly cut strawberries expertly positioned! This has to be your best one yet!"
"Um..." Mira began, trying to remain passive though it was clear she was caught off guard. "I... didn't make that one; Ragna did."
"...Does this mean I get a big tip?" the Reaper asked with snark as Erza stared at him in awe. "No seriously, I'm close to broke and could use the cash."
"But we spent all day yesterday doing jobs with Natsu and Happy!" Lucy shouted at him. "What about your share!?"
"I gave it you; you said you needed the money for rent," Ragna told her.
"Ragna!" Lucy scolded him.
"...Change of plans," Erza decided. "You and Lucy will be coming with us as well."
"We will?" Lucy asked in surprise.
"They will?" Natsu and Gray also questioned, but in unison.
"Says who?" Ragna demanded.
"Says Erza!" Happy interjected cheerfully.
"Lucy just stated that you two have already worked with Natsu before, so I think we could benefit from your help," Erza told her before turning to Ragna's slice of cake. "And I doubt I should discredit the clearly shown abilities of the elderly."
"ELDERLY!?" the Reaper shouted with raged as Erza continued to enjoy her perfect piece of cake. "Enjoy it while you can then... the next one I'm charging you triple."
The scene then transitions to an old fashioned feudal styled house with a familiar hyper and hooded cat sitting in the center of the room with a huge bowl of rice.
"Meow! And then what happened-!"
"Get out of here Tao!" Ragna's voice shouted from off screen. "You're not even in this story!"
"Aw, Tao's never written in..." the cat sighed sadly as she disappeared. Happy takes over with Plue, both sitting and sipping cup of Tea.
(This is a reference to the transition scenes from the anime for those of you that exclusively read the manga)
And then -Magnolia Station-
"I can't believe that Erza is making us work together," Gray grumbled at Natsu, the two once more exchanging icy and heated glares.
"I probably hate the idea even more than you do," Natsu said with fire showing in his eyes.
"I doubt that, Gas Head."
"Ice stripper!"
"Morning Breath!"
"Snow Brat!"
WHACK! WHACK!
"GAH!" both boys shouted in pain as they were sent to ground from the heavy blows to the head. Rising up they, both saw Ragna overlooking them with a clear scowl on his face and smoke emitting from his good hand.
"Everyone's looking at us because you two idiots won't stop fighting for two minutes unless Erza's around," the Reaper told them with clear aggression in his tone. "Now suck it up and work with each other; you can go back to your bitching once this job is done."
"Fine..." Gray muttered as he headed over to the nearest bench and sat down.
"I still wanna deck him," Natsu growled as he took a seat on a completely different bench.
"What a pain in the ass..." the Reaper said as he used his good arm to get a couple of cricks out of his neck. Glancing to the confections area of the station, he was reminded of something he needed to do. "Be back in a second."
"We're already off to such a great start," Lucy sighed. "Then again, what was I expecting?"
"If you didn't want to come along then why are you here?" Happy questioned.
"Erza asked for Ragna and me specifically, and she doesn't look like the type of person you could say no to."
"Not in good health, aye," the cat agreed.
"Seems that everyone's here," came the armored wizard's voice. Lucy turned to the apparent lead of this assignment, only to be awestruck by the sheer amount of luggage that Erza was carrying in the wagon behind her. "I just had to grab a few things for the journey."
"A few things!?" Lucy shouted.
"That's our Erza, always coming prepared!" Gray shouted with his deathly afraid cheerfulness. "Isn't that right, best buddy?"
"Aye, you've got that right. We sure think alike," Natsu said in response with a fake and equally scared smile upon his face.
"Oif, I've heard of people doing a complete 180, but with you two it's only infinitely disturbing," Ragna said as he returned with a steaming cup.
"What have you got there?" Lucy asked him.
"Oolong tea," he explained before setting the cup on the bench, taking a small pouch out of his jacket, and adding a few shakes of some type of herb to the drink. He then shoved it into Natsu's hands. "Drink up."
"What was that you added to it?" Natsu questioned as he sniffed the beverage and gagged. "That stuff smells awful!"
"It's medicine," Ragna told him. "Like I said, drink up."
"But I'm not sick!" the Fire Dragon Slayer denied in response.
"You're about to be nauseous for an entire train ride, if this medicine does the job right you should at least feel a little better than you normally would," the Reaper told him as he glared down the younger wizard. Natsu didn't like it, but he eventually took a drink from the cup, holding his nose as he drained it completely.
"Gah, it tastes so bad..." he groaned when he finished.
"Most medicine does; the effective stuff at least," Ragna told him.
"When did you even have time to grab this?" Lucy asked.
"Yesterday after we were done going on jobs," Ragna told her. "Checked the medicine shops in town and they pointed me to this stuff. Let's just hope it works; it wasn't cheap."
"So let me get the facts straight; you take us all on jobs so I can pay my rent, you don't take any of your share, and on top of that you spend what little money you did have to get medicine for Natsu's motion sickness?" Lucy demanded, though more surprised than angry.
"Yeah, what about it?" Ragna asked nonchalantly.
"...Stuff like this is why we call you dad," Natsu reminded.
"Aye," Happy agreed.
"Shut it you two, or you would you rather have to suffer through the train ride after all?" the Reaper told the two off.
"So the three of you call him dad?" Erza cut in, leaving Lucy and Natsu to freeze as they thought they'd done something wrong in her eyes.
"It was that or keep being called an old man," Ragna explained with great exasperation. "I just decided to take the lesser of two evils." Noticing Erza's silence as she pondered over his words, Ragna started to grow uncomfortable. "...There a problem with that?"
"Actually, no," she finally spoke, smiling at him. "I'm just surprised that they've started calling you that after such a short time. They must trust and respect you a good deal if they've given you that nickname... father."
'Did-Did Erza just-?' Natsu thought in shock.
'She... she actually sounded kind of cute when she said it,' Gray thought in disbelief.
'That's our Erza!' Happy thought.
'Wow, even when Erza uses nicknames she's so formal and professional about it,' were Lucy's inner opinions.
'...Dammit, now I feel REALLY old,' Ragna lamented in his own mind before checking the clock. "We better get a move on then, our train's going to leave pretty soon."
"Let's hope that riding the train's the hard part," Natsu groaned as he braced himself before stepping onto the vehicle.
"Only for you kid, only for you," the Reaper sighed as the rest climbed on.
Author's Notes and Review Responses
H: Hey everyone! It's Happy here! Storm's not doing the author's note after that last one because he's... well he's kind of dead. So Happy's taking over the review section from now own!
S: IN HELL YOU SADISTIC FURBALL!
H: Oh, you're alive after all. How did you survive the nuke?
S: I called in Azrael at the last second and he tanked the whole thing for me pointblank... Said it tickled.
H: Well I'm glad to see you survived.
S: You... actually mean that?
H: Yep, someone's got to pay for all of my fish.
S: What was I expecting? Anyways, I did a shorter chapter again this time, but that's only because I'm trying to condense this Arc down to only two chapters, so while the next chapter won't be be out for some time, I'll be trying to do the rest of the Arc there... or at least my rewritten version of it.
H: So it's going to be different?
S: I'll neither confirm nor deny. Now it's time for a small game, FIND THE ANIME REFERENCE in the chapter!
H: But Fairy Tail is an anime, so is BlazBlue (kind of).
S: I mean from other animes... and FYI, 'Yare yare daze' doesn't count. But I'll leave that to all of you and move onto the review responses... WHICH TOTAL 100 at the time of writing this!
Dread Grim Reaper: The one? The one what?
Dread Alpha Prime: Thanks. Another weekend update here.
Guest (1): Maybe, maybe not. I'll never show my hand until it's time.
The Unplanner: Summoning weapons like that is often related to Kingdom Hearts, and for good reason. Ragna more of a take a weapon and knock the crap out of the enemy type guy though.
Lazyguy90: Well... it's close?
TheGreyKing27: Could've used that... might've saved me a headache (and a radiation bath)
Kamencolin: Short, but sweet. Thanks.
Dread Grim Reaper: How man arc will I have to go through?
JOK3R OF Monday: Especially given the way that most of Fairy Tail acts.
Guest (2): Gilgamesh is a threat that I personally made and I don't have any plans for Nox's in this story at the moment. For that, seek A Reaper's Game. (Shameless plug)
Don't Blame Ya: He did... and Ragna returned in kind.
Guest (3):Thanks, I think I was just hitting burnout due to everyone putting their opinions on my Awakening fic. (Plug plug)
Meijin Lightus: Thnks fr th rvw m8. (Fall Out Boys reference)
PseudoSteak: Dadzoned Ragna is a new dynamic I've been trying to peruse in a few stories. It seems to be working so far.
Minicoopa411: The twists and turns of my own barely sane mind. Come in, stay awhile, and you might just find something you'll like.
The Stars OverHeaven: Apparently Dad Ragna is more popular than I'd originally thought, at least it's clear that it works.
Hopeful Reader: Likely no... but thanks for the 100th comment.
S: Well, that about wraps this up. Until next time everyone! Two updates in one week baby!
S&H: Ciao!
