GT: Yep. Day 12 of Mega May 2024 brings you a new idea. A Battle Network x YuGiOh ARC-V fic! Let's see you handle all this!
Disclaimer: I do not own Megaman nor YuGiOh. They are owned by CAPCOM and Konami respectively.
The light of a desk lamp turning on momentarily blinded the occupant on a lone wooden chair after spending roughly an hour in the dark. Several blinks of chocolate-brown eyes later and blurs began to refocus, becoming a metal table bolted to the floor with said desk lamp being bolted to the table. Standing by it was a man of seventeen years of age, wearing a long red private eye-like leather jacket over a black shirt and red slacks with black formal-like running shoes. His blue eyes focused on the owner of the brown eyes while moving a lock of his white and black hair.
"Name, Age, current occupation if any."
"Aw come on, Chaud. Do we got…"
"Name, Age, current occupation if any."
Lips parted for the sigh that escaped a teenage of 16 years of age, his somewhat long messy hair held back by a blue bandana with a circular emblem sporting two red blocks on a diagonal surrounded by a ring of gold. He wore a white button shirt underneath an orange jacket and black pants.
"Lan Netto Hikari, 16, Highschool student, ZZZ Licensed NetBattler for five years, and Professional Duelist for one year," he rolled his eyes, "Do we have to do this?"
"You and I know this is important for those who come after us as well as making sure world leaders and their nations can be calmed down," Chaud replied, "Many events have happened after what happened with that invasion. We are obligated to tell our story as accurately as we can."
"...Can we omit…?"
"Yes, there are some private things you may omit so long as they are not important to the explanation," Chaud replied, pouring Lan a cup of lemonade.
"Thanks."
Chaud nodded, "Now…let's start at the beginning. What happened with you that day?"
Lan frowned in thought, "...Megaman and I had been asked to participate in a tournament at Castello again with a challenge of using a premade Folder. That day was the opening day for it." He smiled fondly, "Maylu was participating as well like we did back when Nebula was a threat. We were even at the same places on the tournament roster as back then."
"Please move on to the moment the Invasion happened."
Lan frowned at Chaud, an annoyed look in his eyes, "...Fine." he straightened up, a sharp look on his eyes, "1:36pm. That is the time I will never forget on that day. Maylu was exiting the elevator, having won against her opponent at the time. A break had been announced due to needing to repair some damage the battle had caused. We had planned on some lunch, a BLT for Maylu and a cheeseburger with ramen noodles for the buns for me." He shook his head, "Never got to have a single bite because of the first explosion erupting from the Solar Boy Django ride." he narrowed his eyes, "The howls of the mechanized beast from within mixed with the screams of fright and panic as the crowds began to flee…only for the Obelisk Force to appear, emerging from seemingly thin air…and began to turn people into cards. We got Megaman and Roll into the Network and had the park's systems try to stop them."
Chaud nodded, "A sound strategy. What went wrong?"
"They began to use their Monsters," Lan replied, "The Ancient Gears. Despite their name and weathered looks, they decimated the entire park with ease. I got knocked out from some debris after we barely got our NetNavis out of the Network. When I came to…" he shook his head, "...It was a day later and the whole city was destroyed and thousands were already Carded."
"When Lan had been knocked out, I was freaking out and starting to break down. If not for Megaman and Roll snapping me out of it, it may have been the end for us."
Chaud nodded, looking at the young woman before her that was Lan's age. She wore a long hot pink sundress underneath a blue coat with her long red hair going down to the middle of her back, fanned out into upward curving spikes. Her chocolate-brown eyes, almost red in color at the right angle of light, were focused on the cup of lemonade before her, her hands clenched tightly as the memories came.
"With some broken ketchup containers and pasta sauce, I managed to trick the invaders into believing we were victims of the rubble," Maylu explained, "I didn't pay attention to their words due to the fear going through me as I did all I could to not move and just play dead."
"I can provide it if you would be fine with it," a voice scaped a white and pink device on Mayku's shoulder.
"Proceed with full designation," Chaud replied.
"Artificial Intelligence program , I am eight years of age, and registered as the Network Navigator to Maylu Persephone Sakurai," the voice responded, "In the troop of invaders, several were distressed upon seeing dead bodies, quite a few upset that 'dead people can't be carded' and it was a 'waste of energy.'"
Chaud nodded, "How did you escape?"
"We stayed there for several hours until I was sure no more invaders were in what remained of Castello," Maylu replied, "I carried Lan on my back through it all, jumping at each sound I heard." She trembled, "I feared that…that one of those Fusion Monsters was left there, patrolling…hunting…" she took a deep drink of lemonade, trying to settle the knot in her stomach at the memories, "Famous found us, pulling us into a wrecked building before a patrol marched by. He had formed a resistance group of people that had avoided being Carded. After a day, Lan woke up and when we told him…he closed up." She rubbed her eyes, recalling the bandaged teen curled up on a makeshift bed, shutting down mentally on the world, "I had to…do percussive maintenance to snap him out of it."
"She slapped him hard enough to knock him off the bed."
"Roll!" Maylu squeaked, covering her mouth in horror.
"And then?"
"Famous pulled out several Copybots and we started using them for our NetNavis. The invaders had unknowingly destroyed the Mother Computer when they invaded the Ministry of Science, so there was no more Network for us to safely use," Lan went on, "With our NetNavis, we managed to scare off the invaders in our way to get to ACDC." He trembled as he lost his voice at the memories.
"We got there and found our mother…only for her to be Carded just as we were about to hug her," a voice replied from the blue and white device on Lan, "Neither of us…took it well. Lan collapsed while…while I…"
"We hadn't had a need to remove the remnants of Gregar's power," Lan stated, Chaud giving a simple nod.
"It was a time of war, so it won't be put on record what you did, Megaman," Chaud stated.
"Thank you. It did have the good thing of making the invaders in what remained of ACDC flee because not even their Monsters could handle what they let loose," Megaman spoke, "Everyone managed to establish a base of resistance in ACDC. I…stayed away from everyone, only really coming around to recharge my Copybot."
"It wasn't fair. Mega is the kindest and strongest NetNavi I know! He scared off those invaders and their Monsters and he felt like he needed to stay away from us all!" Roll fumed.
"No one could blame him for what he did to those invaders and their Monsters. Remember that he got a moniker thanks to them: The Beast of Destruction," Maylu noted.
"Please keep moving on with things. What happened that led to the next event?"
"...It was a month after everything went down. We managed to learn that…only a handful of people were left unCarded by the invaders…globally," Lan said, "Then…He appeared."
=TWO YEARS AGO=
14 year old Lan gazed out at the ruined town from atop of what had been a fanciful mansion, the entirety of its massive lawn converted into a small camp of sorts. He reached into the collar of his black t-shirt underneath an open orange vest and pulled out a rectangular locket on a black chain. He pressed the top and it opened, revealing the image of a brown-haired woman, looking as if she were going in for a hug with tears of relief in her eyes.
"Hey…" Lan greeted, turning it around to gaze on the land, "Another sunrise and nobody lost yet. Well…here, at least." he sighed, "Famous got a radio working and…it's not good. We had been one of two remaining patches left…and now we're the last." he shook his head before aiming the card to the field where a large garden had been made, "Look! We've gotten a strong garden going on. The strawberries were really juicy and…" he trailed off and sighed, looking at the card as a tear fell, "I miss you, Mama. I miss you, Papa, Dex, Yai…everyone that we've lost." he hiccuped as he rubbed his sleeve along his eyes, trying to dry the tears, "We will figure out how to free you and everyone else."
"Lan!" Lan looked over his shoulder to see Maylu, her hair reaching the middle of her back in a jean jacket, a pink tee, and a teal miniskirt with black leggings running up, "There you are!"
"Hey," Lan greeted before Maylu caught sight of the card.
"O-Oh! I'm sorry. Were you…?"
"I was starting to go into repeating myself again," Lan admitted, closing the pendant and putting it back under his shirt, "What's up?"
"Hub's back with supplies," Maylu replied, earning a smile from Lan.
"That's my brother for ya," Lan chuckled, "Come on! Let's get going then before he decides to run off again!"
"Roll's already ahead of you," Maylu replied, rolling her eyes in exasperation be it from him or Roll was anyone's guess.
"Uh-uh! You are staying right here and resting, mister."
"B-But Roll…I'm…It's not…"
"Mega, I will hack your Copybot's legs to prevent you from using them if you don't stay for one single day to rest and catch up."
"...A-Alright…"
Several adults and NetNavis looked at the two in amusement as they worked on the supplies that had been brought to the camp. Their sights were on two NetNavis on a marble bench with one sitting on the lap of the other. The one being sat upon was a NetNavi that oddly looked identical to Lan in looks, yet his hair was cobalt blue with emerald green eyes while donned in a cobalt-blue bodysuit with light blue lines going up the sides, blue gloves and boots with dark blue patches on spots, a blue backpack of sorts, and a helmet in three shades of blue with silver bars going over them and two yellow blocks stacked atop one another on the front. The one who was sitting on the first was a well developed female NetNavi with long, flowing golden-blond hair emerging from the lower back of her pink helmet in the form of a ponytail with a green bow at the end. Her helmet was a hot red in the front and shaped to resemble a heart. In the 'heart' was two gold circular pieces that allowed a pair of tassels resembling semi-transparent yellow plugs emerge from them. She wore a black bodysuit with a pink and hot red outfit over it with a small circular piece just above her behind that, with her antennae, made her look as if she had a bunny motif. Her jade eyes were settled into a firm look on the male NetNavi as she was poking his chest with a pink glove.
"Megaman!"
"!" the boy looked up to see Lan and Maylu running over, "O-Oh! H-h-hey there…"
"Great job keeping him here, Roll!" Maylu beamed.
"Like I'd let him leave when he only just got back," the pink-wearing NetNavi huffed as the blue NetNavi grimaced on seeing Lan.
"Megaman!" Lan beamed.
"H-Hey, Lan…" Megaman greeted before Lan clapped a hand on her shoulder.
"About time we finally caught you before you could go off," Lan spoke.
"We were worried for you since we couldn't see you at all the last two months," Maylu added, sitting at his other side.
"I'm just trying to get supplies for everyone," Megaman replied, looking away.
"..." Lan looked to see the others had left, "...Hub, that's stupid." Megaman grimaced, "Mr. Famous has been looking over those devices every day since you dealt with those invaders."
"But I shouldn't have…"
"They turned Mama into a card and we have no idea if it can be reversed," Lan reminded him, "If you hadn't done what you did, I don't know what I would've done."
"Still…" Megaman began before Roll cupped his cheek with a hand, making him look at her.
"You saved everyone here with what you did," Roll spoke, her eyes fixated on his, "You did a great thing in what you did."
"Roll, this isn't like Deleting an enemy NetNavi that's trying to kill humans, it was other humans that I…I…" he squeezed his eyes shut as a look of guilt and shame formed on his face.
"..." Lan frowned before smacking Megaman upside the head, causing his helmet to pop off and turn his hair from cobalt to brown, "You idiot!"
"Ow! L-Lan?!"
"They came after us! They destroyed our whole world!" Lan scolded, "We don't even know if they're really human or just looking like ones!"
"Exactly!" Megaman argued before Roll grabbed his hands, "R-Roll?"
"Mega…breathe," Roll stressed, "You're going into a panic. Deep breaths and slow exhales."
"B-But, Roll, we…"
"Please~?" Roll pleaded.
"...A-Alright…" Megaman mumbled as he started to breathe in deeply and exhaled slowly.
"It's okay to feel guilt over what you did," Maylu noted, "But you have to remember that we're in a war. People will die or be Carded." she gestured to the mansion's massive yard, "We're all that's left until we figure out how to get everyone back."
"...How is that going?"
"We'll have to check in on Mr. Famous," Lan replied, standing up and offering a hand, "Let's go check together. Okay?"
"...a…alright," Megaman agreed, accepting the hand before Roll got off his lap and picked up his helmet.
"Mmm…I like it when you have your hair out, Mega," Roll noted, "When things are back to normal, can you show it more often when we're not busy?"
"O-Oh! Um…O-Okay," Megaman replied, blushing a little, as he accepted the helmet and put it back on.
Lan and Maylu smiled at that. Their NetNavis could be so sweet.
"So this is how it's done…" an older brunette man noted, adjusting his sunglasses as he looked over a set of strange ovoid devices that were navy blue and white in color with a gem in the center of them all interconnected to several computers that were manned by women in scuffed up maid uniforms.
A knock came at the metal doors. One of the women looked at the door camera and smiled. She pressed a button and it opened, letting the four enter. The man turned to them and raised a brow before noticing Megaman among them and smiled in relief.
"Is there anything new, Mr. Famous?" Lan asked.
"Just Famous. Regrettably, there is nothing on reversing the process in their systems," Famous replied, earning saddened looks, "However, we have discovered how to prevent Carding." He picked up two of the devices and gave them to the two humans, "The system doesn't affect people who have these on them until they lose something called a Duel."
"Duel?" Roll repeated.
"Yes. When two or more use these cards against one another, it is called a Duel," Famous explained, "An entire tutorial program was in them and I studied them thoroughly." He tapped the cards in them, "These are your Decks, often set between 40 and 60 cards." he handed the two a few sheets of paper, "These are a summary of everything about Dueling that I found in the tutorial program. I noticed that it doubled as propaganda, so I made sure to take extra note of these summoning mechanics."
"So…if we win a Duel…we can Card them instead?" Lan asked.
"L-Lan?" Maylu gasped, all three looking at him in surprise at the question.
"Yes," Famous replied, "Unfortunately, all we have are these Ancient Gear Decks that focus on a combination of Fusion Summoning and effects meant to cause 'Burn' Damage." He held up a hand, "Read the papers. If you have any further questions, please keep them for later when I get enough volunteers to use these Decks."
"Is there anything else? Like how they came here?" Roll asked.
"Yes," Famous replied as he motioned for them to follow him to another computer, showing several options, "It seems they are able to use these 'Duel Disks' to travel between dimensions."
"Like how the Undernet connects to other worlds like Solar Boy Django's?" Megaman guessed, earning a nod of confirmation.
"In a way, yes. But by selecting one, the user and likely anyone they're in contact with will be teleported," Famous replied, "It seems they have the ability to record and save new dimensions and give them a classification. Currently, there are the following: ours, one called Xyz, one called Synchro, one called Standard, and one called Fusion."
"Exceeds?" Megaman repeated.
"No. X-y-z," Famous corrected, "It's one of the summoning mechanics."
"So four dimensions aside from our own?" Megaman guessed.
"It appears to be that way, yes," Famous replied before the area shook, "?!"
*GROAAAAARRRRGH!*
"Wh…What was…?" Roll began before Megaman dashed out towards the outside with Lan close behind him, "Ah!"
People screamed as they tried to flee, only for purple beams to shoot out and strike them mid-run. Their bodies glowed and dissipated into particles within an instant after each strike. Several males and females donned in blue military-like school uniforms with menacing silver masks with red 'eyes' on them marched, shooting people with the purple beams fired from their Duel Disks. Several statues in the area turned to them and opened up, revealing a series of hoses that quickly unleashed pressurized water from them, knocking several of the soldiers back…before they were sliced apart by a dark gold scythe-like tail tip.
Giving out a bellow was a large, slender pitch black dragon covered in sleek, curved armor-like scales of a rich purple. Its head sported two massive scythe-like horns while the end of its long spindly tail was the scythe-like tip, sporting a glowing red orb which was just one of a numerous amount growing upon its body and armor alongside the yellow orbs that grew the claws out of its hands along with yellow orbs where it elbows and knees should've been. It let loose another roar before the soldiers fired again, causing the remaining people to turn into a glittering mass of particles that slowly dissipated away. Cards began to emerge from slots on the Duel Disks, the images of them showing the people frozen in the pose they had been the moment the beams had hit them.
"GRAAAAAAAH!"
"Oh god! It's the Green Devil!" one of the soldiers screamed as the dragon quickly moved, lashing a fist out and parrying the one from Megaman, now donned in a layered green, red, and gold armor shaped to resemble a wolf of sorts with a long tail ending in two layered spikes.
"Hoh~? So this is the nuisance that's killed several of our troops?" a voice spoke before a figure jumped off the dragon.
He was a boy around Lan and Maylu's age with very short, thick, pink eyebrows and purple eyes. His hair was unique in being two-toned, being uniformly violet with pink underneath - his fringes extending to frame his face, with two pointing upwards. His outfit appeared to be an officer's uniform of sorts, consisting of a purple and light blue waistcoat, pink cravat, a two-part cape of red and purple, a purple abbreviated coat with thick cuffs and gold shoulder bands with an amber-colored setting, fastened at the collar bone, and light blue pants tucked into silver-tinted leather boots. On his arm was a purple and black Duel Disk with a purple and black tray of sorts made of a hard-light. The dragon bellowed and swung its tail at Megaman, who jumped away and landed against a wall of the manor before shooting out, shattering the wall from the recoil, and went to strike the dragon only for it to backhand Megaman into the ground. He growled as he got up and was shot at by the boy only for Famous to block it with a Duel Disk on his arm.
"Hm?" the boy pondered before laughing, "Oh! You found the little flaw in the Carding System?" he clapped a few times as he removed a card from the tray and caused the dragon to vanish, "Well, this makes the hunt all the more amusing. You've really caused us quite a bit of trouble, even if your world doesn't have Duel Monsters it seems."
"Why are you even doing this? Why invade us when we have no idea as to why?" Famous questioned, activating the Duel Disk.
"Hmm…Whyever not? We do have a goal to accomplish with all this," the boy replied, "All of you, go and find any stragglers. I can handle this easily enough." the Deck in his Duel Disk began to rapidly shuffle itself, "I should advise you…when you lose a Duel, the prevention system shuts down for ten minutes."
"Good to know how long I have to Card you then," Famous noted, adjusting his sunglasses, "My name is Famous."
"Oh? Then allow me to introduce myself then. I…am Yuri."
"Duel!" both shouted just as Maylu and Roll got out of the manor and pulled into bushes by Lan.
Yuri: 4000
Famous: 4000
"I'll start us off," Famous noted as he looked at his hand, "I'll start with Polymerization." a vortex appeared behind him as he held up three cards from his hand and sent them to the Graveyard, "I fuse the three Ancient Gear Hunting Hounds in my Hand to create Triple Ancient Gear Hunting Hound!"
A layered trio of roars erupted from the vortex before a massive mechanical beast emerged, sporting three heads shaped to resemble the heads of dogs. It howled and snarled before glaring down upon Yuri.
Triple Ancient Gear Hunting Hound: ATK1800
"Now I play Pot of Greed, letting me draw two cards," Famous went on, drawing two more cards, "Next I play one more Polymerization, fusing the Ancient Gear Soldier in my hand with the Triple Ancient Gear Hunting Hound to create Ultimate Ancient Gear Hunting Hound!"
The three-headed hound bellowed as its armor turned maroon as more older gears grew out of its body. Its heads rose up on longer necks as a gaping maw emerged from the chest where the heads originally had been. All three heads roared as a red aura came off a smiling Yuri.
Ultimate Ancient Gear Hunting Hound: ATK2800
Yuri: 2000
"You should know the effects well of this one. It halves your current Life Points when it's summoned," Famous spoke, "I'll play my last card facedown and end it." 'With Magic Cylinder, his attack will go right back to him if he plays a monster stronger than mine.'
"Ghh…" Maylu shivered as Roll and Lan held her close at her sides, "Th-That's the dog that…"
"Yeah…" Lan nodded, "At least this time it's on our side."
"I still hate it for destroying our house," Roll admitted, glaring at the mechanized hound.
Yuri just let out a laugh, "My, my~! Such bravado! Well…" he drew a card as his turn started, "Then let me show you what I can do, Famous!" He looked at the card and flipped it around, "Behold, Polymerization!" the vortex appeared behind him, "Now I fuse Predaplant Flytrap and Predaplant Lilizard in my hand! Two beautiful flowers with an insect-alluring fragrance! Now become one, and from the hell beneath your petals, give birth to a new terror!" he clapped his hands together before him, the light from the vortex casting a menacing shadow over him,"Fusion Summon! Appear! Poisonous dragon with hungry fangs." with a howl, the massive purple and black dragon emerged, glaring hungrily at Famous and his beast,"Level 8! Starving Venom Fusion Dragon!"
Starving Venom Fusion Dragon: ATK2800
"Wh-What is that!?" Maylu gasped.
"Oh god, it's as menacing as the Cybeasts…" Roll gulped before seeing Megaman slowly pulling himself out of the small crater he was in, "Mega…"
"Starving Venom Fusion Dragon's effect now activates! It takes in the Attack of all Special Summoned Monsters on my opponent's side of the field!" Yuri declared as his dragon glowed with a red aura.
SVFD: ATK5600
"And now I activate a second effect! I can target a Level 5 or higher monster on your side of the Field and negate its effects!" Yuri went on as blackened vines raced out of the red orbs of the dragon's body and impaled Ultimate Ancient Gear Hunting Hound, causing it to scream and thrash until going slack and be dropped down before Famous, "Now…BATTLE!"
"I activate…"
"Nothing at all!" Yuri interrupted, "Because those negated effects? They go to my dragon!"
Famous gasped as the purple dragon unleashed a blast of purple acid that enveloped and melted the hound.
Famous: 1200
"And don't forget it can attack three times~" Yuri reminded.
Starving Venom Fusion Dragon bellowed before lashing its tail violently at Famous, shattering the Duel Disk and sending through a statue of Athena, shattering it.
Famous: 0 LOSE
Yuri: 4000 WIN
"Perhaps I should have started off and given you a chance to deliver a little Burn damage from Ancient Gear Hunting Hound," Yuri noted before shooting Famous with the beam, letting him pull out the Carded scientist, "A pity they only just started when they're all Carded."
The area rumbled as a feral roar echoed. Starving Venom barely blocked Megaman's strike aimed at Yuri, his eyes no longer emerald, but a menacing, feral crimson with an ominous green aura wafting off his body. The dragon threw him away before Megaman landed and shattered the ground to lunge at the dragon. It retaliated with a punch, letting out a shockwave that cratered the area around the two. The dragon began to struggle as Megaman roared before flipping onto the arm and got into its face. Starving Venom shrieked in agony as Megaman's claws tore into its chest, nearly tearing completely through the dragon. Flames began to gather before his faceguard when he froze up and shattered into pixels.
"Good heavens…No wonder we've had so many deaths here," Yuri noted in surprise as he looked at Megaman's card.
"Rrrrr…"
Yuri looked up at his dragon and gently laid a hand on its leg, "It's alright. When we return home, we'll enjoy a few peons, hm?"
In the bush, Lan collapsed with wide eyes, 'Hub…n-no…'
"MEGAMAN~!" Roll shrieked in despair before glaring at Yuri, "You bastard!" her right glove converted into a crossbow with a heart-shaped arrow as she jumped out of the foliage, "RollArrow!"
She let loose the arrow at Yuri only for his dragon to move a wing and the arrow bounced off it. Roll gasped before feeling a shift. She looked down and saw the tip of Starving Venom going through her gut from behind.
"ROLL!" Maylu cried out, coming out of the bushes, pulling her PeT out.
"May…lu…" Roll gasped out before Yuri aimed his Duel Disk at her and fired it just as she gave the redhead an assuring smile, the beam hitting her and causing her to vanish like Megaman.
"NOOOO~!" Maylu screamed, collapsing to her knees as tears fell.
"Hmm…" Yuri held a hand to the slot and plucked Roll's card from it, "I must say, the beings you have in this 'Network' of yours are interesting. This beastly one actually unnerved and wounded my wonderful Starving Venom Fusion Dragon." He smirked as he looked at Maylu and prepared to shoot her, "I bet the professor could turn these NetNavis into wonderful new cards. But you? There's nothing."
'I'm…I'm going to…' Maylu trembled in fright, gazing up at the purple dragon that looked down at her as if she were a mere insect while growling at her.
"GRRRAAAAAAH!"
"What the…?" Yuri began before Lan slammed into him hard, knocking the boy to the floor and letting Lan snatch Megaman and Roll's cards from him, "Gh! You insufferable…!"
Lan grabbed Maylu and looked at the Duel Disk on his arm. He glared at Yuri as Starving Venom reared a claw back to grab them. He pressed something on the screen and the two teens vanished just a moment before the dragon's hand grabbed where they had been. It let out a snarl and smashed a wall of the mansion in frustration. It looked to Yuri and let out a mournful noise as Yuri snarled as he glared at the spot they had been…before breaking out into a laugh.
"Oh~! That boy is in for things now…" Yuri hissed, a gleefully demented look on his face.
The air shimmered with blue particles of light before it spiraled and dispersed. Lan and Maylu remained in the epicenter, huddled into a tightly held ball of sorts. Muffled sobs and cries filled the still air as a lone moon shined down upon the two, Maylu burying herself as deep into Lan as she could while the brunette remained mute as tears fell on top of her head. Neither knew how long they stayed that way…neither really cared anymore…all they knew…was that they were no longer in their world…and they were the last two.
GT: A fair warning to you folks: chapters will be small at first. These are meant to be used for a one thing per day event after all.
