Distortion 10
Previously on Canon Distortion…
Makoto Nanaya, Caroline Patricia Smith, Noel Vermillion and Hunter Long were trying to get out of the 1st free city of Otsu. Unfortunately the NOL decided to launch a sneak attack by taking down the Otsu airport. With the assistance of the Otsu Four and Jasmine however, they managed to find an escape route. This escape route however involved fighting against said NOL force at the airport as we will now cut and see how these respective battles fared.
And Now, the continuation of Canon Distortion
Meifang Lapislazuli was used to fighting against multiple opponents. Regardless of how many people they threw at her and the power of said people, Meifang was able to rely on a combination of her own power and drive to nullify any sort of advantage that people might have had on her. Note the word used to however as regardless of how many times Meifang fights multiple foes, fighting multiple opponents by your lonesome is still an exhausting and tiring task.
Thus she decided on the next best thing, isolating her prey and fighting them one by one. It was the same every fight before and every fight since as she was doing so right now, fighting against Tetsu inside one of the abandoned buildings near the airport as she tried to cave in Tetsu's skull as he raised his gauntlet to pull in any metal objects to form a makeshift shield to deflect said attack. "So this is the power of the head of the Zero Squadron huh. The talks and rumors don't do you justice." Tetsu commented as Meifang grinned.
"Why thank you for the compliment, Please accept it with my fist and come quietly." Meifang replied as she did what she said, throwing another punch that broke through Tetsu's makeshift shield as he was forced to raise his blade to block the rest of the attack, snapping it in half in the process as he slid through the ground and stopped himself from falling with the broken katana. "And now that you no longer have your weapon, do you concede and let yourself be arrested by yours truly?" Meifang asked, raising her hand in a mocking manner as she felt the blade simply graze her shoulder as she dodged Tetsu's attempt to kill her with ease.
"Please, I have my honor to keep. If I gave up right now, the men and women who support me will lose their faith in me." Tetsu said as the broken blade hovered near the gauntlet before it dropped itself to his hand. Before Meifang could make a retort, she saw Tetsu place the broken pieces of the katana at the crack she had formed as she saw the two points begin to glow as before she knew it, the blade was mysteriously restored, the color gold glowing from the cracks briefly before disappearing.
"So that is your drive hmmm." Meifang mused as Tetsu checked his katana before assuming a battle stance once again. "Forgive me for hiding my drive from you. Then again, you NOL must have known for quite some time now so it shouldn't be that much of a surprise to you." Tetsu said as he magnetized some more metal next to him as she could see the metal begin to fuse with each other, forming what looked like a piece of traditional Japanese shoulder armor fashioned out of crude pieces of metal that wrapped itself around Tetsu's left shoulder.
"That may be true. But words on paper don't beat watching the real thing in action. You have done very well to actually hide your drive from being seen on video." Meifang complimented as she cracked her knuckles as Tetsu tched at that. "Not well enough if it's written on paper." Tetsu said as he made the first move, dashing in to close the distance with Caroline as she countered with an immediate punch towards his direction which he blocked with the crude shoulder shield, causing him to recoil out of attacking stance.
Immediately after losing stance, Tetsu angled his blade and slashed in an upwards manner almost akin to a boxer throwing an uppercut, forcing Meifang to dodge the attack as she felt the blade touch the fabrics of her clothes and nearly sliced her in half as Tetsu reassumed his stance, taking a deep breath as he stepped forward with a strong forward foot position, slashing downwards quickly with the basic kendo maneuver that Meifang dodged.
But as Meifang was dodging her instincts kicked in as she formed a barrier immediately at her right side, feeling her whole body get pushed back from the impact of the anti material rifle blast she was forced to take as she crashed through a room, dust kicking up from the hole she made. "I cannot believe you are having so much fun without me Comrade Tetsu!" A loud voice bellowed as Tetsu shook his head hearing that. "Of course you like to crash the party like you do Vlad." Tetsu commented as Vlad emerged from the corner of the shadow, the barrel of his anti material rifle smoking.
"Course I will! If I don't then I am not doing my job correctly! HAHAHA!" Vlad laughed as Meifang moved the rubble that was on her with ease as she stood up and stared right at Vlad. "And of course there is the brute of the Otsu Four. I should have known you would be eager for a fight like you are right now." Meifang said as Vlad did not waste another second to try and pump another bullet right at Meifang's face, causing her to form another barrier to block said shot as the barrier immediately shattered upon impact.
"And you talk so much for being the leader of the Zero Squadron. Does a woman of your talent get bored so easily with the quality of opponents you faced before?" Vlad asked as Meifang simply tched hearing that. "I thought you were the type to enjoy himself. Why are you being so much of a hardass right now." Meifang commented as Vlad brushed back his hair, his cold blue eyes matching the snow itself narrowed.
"Because I got a job that needs to be done and a job I must do without fail. Can't have any of my fellow heads picking up for any slack I might be putting up elsewhere." Vlad commented as he fired a series of shots at Meifang's direction, his massive frame helping him to control the recoil of the Anti Material rifle as he fired the gun almost as if he was firing a pistol with minimal recoil. The accuracy of his shots surprised even Meifang as he was able to shoot at her general direction without even having line of sight on her.
"How is that man even tracking me through the walls? He must be very lucky to be able to fire blindly and nearly hit me." Meifang said to herself as Vlad tapped the side of his ear as a gesture for Tetsu as he knew what that meant and activated the Otsu Four's personal communication device as Zhang Pi's voice could be heard as from the outside, Zhang Pi was busy focusing on the small trace of Meifang's blood that was on her blade as her eyes were glowing red.
"She's Running left, careful, she's trying to bait for the next shots." Zhang Pi said as what she was doing was using her drive, Bloodhound, To help Vlad and Tetsu track down their foe despite said foe using the cover of walls to hide herself from their eyes. "As expected of our eyes and ears, Keep it up! And you better make sure nothing happens to her Sofia." Tetsu calmly said as he charged at the directions Zhang Pi gave him as Vlad readied another shot.
"Of course I will! And just in time too!" Sofia said as she began to lay down fire from her tommy gun to any opposing NOL troops that approached their direction, forcing them to take cover. "Leave Zhang Pi to me. You guys got bigger fish to fry!" Sofia continued as both Tetsu and Vlad sensed Sofia's desire to fight against Meifang herself and the frustration of being stuck to guard duty for their precious ace.
"You're going to be watching over Zhang Pi the next time the four of us are fighting got it." Tetsu said as Vlad wanted to protest but simply shook his head as he focused on his target and fired another shot right at Meifang's general direction. Having been given the word that Meifang was trying to bait his shot to dodge it, he decided to try something else, firing another shot from his anti material rifle like normal but only this time the bullet he fired was that of a shotgun round.
As soon as Meifang realized what Vlad had fired, she quickly formed a barrier to try and block the shot. But that attempt was soon interrupted when from the direction she had dodged to, a huge mass of welded metal came ramming through the wall, Tetsu behind it as the hunk of metal came crashing out of the building itself and flew down towards the NOL soldiers unfortunate enough to be in it's path.
The soldiers on the ground panicked and scrambled to avoid being in the direct path of this massive metal ball rolling in their general direction. This however made them vulnerable to being shot at by Sofia which she didn't hesitate to do so with impudent gunfire. The hole created by the metal ball allowed Meifang to look out and see Zhang Pi using her drive. 'Tch! So the rumors about her being some bloodsucker isn't true. That's just her drive she is using.' Meifang thought as she realized how dangerous that kind of opponent was.
"Do you really have the time to be focused on other things than your opponent." Tetsu said as he slashed right at Meifang, his blade barely grazing the skin of Meifang's left boob as she stomped on the ground and charged right at Tetsu, grabbing his makeshift shield to force him closer to her. At that moment, Vlad made another shot, making Meifang block the shot after she ripped off the makeshift shield of Tetsu's arm, destroying the shield with ease as Tetsu recovered and attempted to sweep her off the ground using his sword.
"And do you really have the time to be fighting someone like me?!" Meifang retorted, smashing the katana hard on the ground as it shattered into multiple pieces upon impact as another shot from Vlad was enough to make distance between the two as he swapped from his anti material rifle to his much smaller weapon. "After all, it's pretty weird for the heads of the Otsunian Four to be fighting me after all. If you all fall now, then that means the people running Otsu would be gone as well. So the fact that you four are risking yourselves like this means that there is something else going on that is happening right right now." Meifang deduced
The moment Meifang said those words, both Tetsu and Vlad realized that the jig was up and sighed. "Indeed, there is no need for us to make such a risk… That's why as heads of various criminal factions, we always make sure we come prepared." Vlad said as he pointed his rifle to the roof of the apartment building and fired, a collection of seithr was fired directly through the barrel, piercing through the roof and becoming visible in the sky as a red light.
As soon as that shot was fired, Zhang Pi and Sofia knew what was up. "Times up. Time for us to help our fellow heads." Zhang Pi said, standing up and wiping Meifang's drying blood off her blade, her eyes returning to normal the moment she did so as Sofia simply grinned. "Finally! BOYS YOU ARE UP FROM HERE!" Sofia simply ordered as the NOL troops began to hear the sounds of several vehicles driving up to their location as several men from the various factions emerged from the array of trucks and cars they had amassed.
"YES MAAM!" The men shouted as they immediately pointed their guns right at the NOL Soldiers, forcing them to take gunfire as Tetsu's men charged at the men forced to bunker down from the gunfire with katanas in their hands. Zhang Pi and Sofia were satisfied with their results as they went after their fellow heads as Meifang simply gritted her teeth at the sight she was seeing. "So what are you going to do? Leave us be and pursue your hunch? Or are you really going to miss the chance to take your prey in front of you for your NOL masters?"
Meifang at first looked a bit pissed, angry that she had been tricked into a ploy by criminals. Yet at the same time, a chance had been given to her, gift wrapped right in front of her. "Are you kidding me? A chance to cripple hell take down the Otsu Four?! There is no way I am going to miss the opportunity to do so!" Meifang said, rejuvenated as she slammed her foot down on the ground and charged right for Tetsu and Vlad as the two could only think about one thing.
...Was this distraction they were offering going to be enough for those who need to get away?
As the rumblings of the battle happened outside the Otsu Airport, those inside were left in the dark due to a combination of lack of communications and fear of disobeying direct orders from their superior who had not ordered them to do anything ever since they entered the building. "Ummm.. Captain. Should one of us go out and check the current situation that is happening? I don't think staying inside and ignoring what is going on is going to help us figure out what is happening." A soldier asked, a reasonable request as Tsubaki had her eyes closed, thinking about how to handle the current situation.
"I will not have any of my men risk their lives while we have our orders… but you are right in us needing to know what is going on. The control tower should give us a view of what is happening, go up there with one other soldier and report to me what is happening down there." Tsubaki said, the soldier saluting her as he went to do as what he was told as Tsubaki tapped her finger on her arm. The current situation should be easily handled by Meifang but the fact remained that something was not right here.
'Are those criminals trying to regain this airport for their own uses? Or is there something else that we are not aware about that is happening right underneath us.' Tsubaki thought as she decided to check in with the patrols she had quickly set up just in case. "Patrols to lead, Status report right now." Tsubaki asked as she heard the various sounds of radios coming alive. "Patrol 1, all clear here." "Patrol 2, Clear here too." "Patrol 3, nobody's here."
After three greetings, silence only greeted her as Tsubaki waited patiently. "Patrol 4. Respond." Tsubaki asked as she waited for a bit more before her instincts kicked in. "One of you go and check on Patrol 4, I want the rest of you to go and support the other patrols right now." Tsubaki said as the soldiers saluted her before going off to do their duties, the leaders of the groups dividing the tasks further as Tsubaki looked at the current situation in front of her using the crude Otsu airport map seized from the security room.
Tsubaki had been through and had made sure when she was sending out the patrols, she marked each area the patrol was in charge of to be able to relay quickly where the last position of any potential enemy could be. Her finger danced through the map as she tapped her finger where Patrol 4 was positioned at, the wastage disposal area, aka where most of Otsu's waste goes through as the Otsunians thought it would be a good idea to have their airport be built underneath a major sewer pipeline.
It didn't take long for Tsubaki to figure out what was happening as she immediately got back on the radio. "Lead to all troops, I want more men stationed where patrol 4 was! That area might have enemy troops already stationed there!" Tsubaki ordered as she felt the urge to go out there and be there herself but she stopped herself from doing so as she realized that would leave the control room undefended as she gritted her teeth a little at the oversight she had left by sending all of the troops out there at once.
It was then her radio crackled back to life as she immediately answered the call. "Is everything alright over there Captain Yayoi?" A voice asked as Tsubaki immediately knew who that was as she tried to remain calm. "We are currently investigating a breach in security right now but everything should be fine for your arrival Colonel Clover." Tsubaki answered as Relius himself was pacing around his personal quarters, his mind simply racing with various thoughts.
Relius: A breach in security now? Would you like for us to land right now and assist you or should we stay in the air?
Tsubaki: What are you trying to…
Relius: Answer the question captain. I am asking you because you are the only set of eyes we have down there and you would have the best solution in mind.
Tsubaki:… I would refrain from landing for the time being. The Otsunians might be planning on blowing up the landing pads and if your ship is caught in the explosion multiple men would be killed. The ship would also be damaged and thus force more NOL resources to here which will draw attention.
Relius:… A predictable answer but also one I agree with. Carry on with your mission and inform the pilot when it's safe to land.
As soon as Relius Clover finished giving his suggestion, he immediately ended the radio call as Tsubaki took a few deep breathes not out of panic but to recompose herself as she got back on radio with her men. "Status report on patrol 4. Right now." Tsubaki ordered as she waited a few seconds before realizing something was going on as she decided to go into the camera room and check out what was happening down at the wastage area as she struggled a bit to get a view of what was happening before she finally got security camera footage of the sewage area.
As soon as she pulled up the footage, she saw the pile of NOL bodies that laid on the round and as stacks on top of each other, unable to tell if the men were alive or dead as she knew she had to find her enemy quickly before they proceed to do more damage underneath her watch. Using the map to her advantage, she checked where the wastage facility led to and saw it was leading to the landing strip.
'The landing strip… either they are trying to destroy it to prevent us from efficiently dropping our troops and supplies… Or something else entirely.' Tsubaki thought as she realized she had no time to waste just standing there and figuring stuff out. She needed to act immediately on the information she had managed to just gain as if she did not do so, permanent damage could be caused to the NOL's effort to save the citizens of Otsu from the criminals who had hold them hostage.
Thus in order for her to make it quickly to the landing strip without being slowed down, she was going to need to exert more of the Izayoi's power. Before she was afraid of losing her sight to the Yayoi heirloom yet recently in past few weeks, she has felt that there was no need to fear such trivial matters. As long as she serves the NOL and by extension the imperator, she could lose her vision happily for the greater good of the people.
Small black wings grew at her boots as instead of running, she simply glided on the floor, like a ballerina on the ice as there was nothing that could have slowed her at that moment. The speed she had gained from using the Izayoi as such was great and could be comparable to roller skates. The only difference is that roller skates had the chance to getting caught on something while gliding on the floor had no such risk.
When Tsubaki saw a flight of stairs, instead of stopping, she simply jumped off the stairs, slowly gliding down with grace as she saw that the area had opened up a bit more. Using the slight airtime she had gained, black wings emerged from her coat, allowing her to fly past the open door and into the open landing strip of the Otsu airport. Flying as high as she could, she began to scan the area for the intruders as her eyes caught sight of something off and immediately without hesitation, she flew towards the direction of what she saw.
As she got closer, Tsubaki felt her suspicions grow even more as she couldn't help but make manifest her sword and shield to protect herself. Her eyes scanned the area several times to make sure her eyes didn't mistake what they had seen. As her feet slowly glided down to touch the ground, Tsubaki took a few steps forward before immediately hearing the sound of movement come her way as without warning, several cardboard boxes came crashing to the ground as this forced Tsubaki to look at that direction.
"Shit..." A voice simply said as Tsubaki pointed her blade at the direction she heard. "SHOW YOURSELF!" Tsubaki shouted as she tensed up a bit, ready to fight should she need be as much to her surprise, she saw a pair of hands pop out as the person slowly came out of the corner. Tsubaki's eyes didn't know whether to narrow or widen in shock as she saw one of her best friends, Makoto Nanaya emerge from the corner.
"Hehe… this a bad time for a reunion?" Makoto asked innocently as Tsubaki remained calm as Makoto looked up and down to stare at Tsubaki's black attire. "Look… I know what you're thinking. What's one of your best friends doing in a town like Otsu? Well… I can explain if you want me to." Makoto continued, hoping that she would be able to sweet talk her way out of this as Tsubaki didn't stop pointing her blade towards her.
"Ummm… Tsubaki? This silent treatment you're giving me. Don't you think that it's a bit too much?" Makoto asked as Tsubaki slowly walked towards her as her eyes glared at Makoto, making her feel like Tsubaki was going to burrow her gaze right into her soul. "I do not think the silent treatment is that harsh for a traitor like you… but to see you here in Otsu of all places. Have you been selling NOL secrets to these criminals?" Tsubaki questioned as Makoto couldn't help but be caught off guard by that line of questioning.
"Ummm...Traitor? That's a joke right Tsubaki? How can you say that one of your best friends is a traitor so coldly like that." Makoto said, her voice a bit shaky at Tsubaki's harsh tone as Tsubaki closed her eyes. "You're the joke. Not showing your face to the NOL for a proper trial and instead choosing to hide in a den of liars and thieves, and now trying to hamper the NOL's efforts in restoring peace to this forsaken land." Tsubaki coldly retorted as Makoto shook her head at that.
"Y-You can't be serious right now Tsubaki. That's just ridiculous even from you!" Makoto said as Tsubaki simply tilted her head. "What's ridiculous about my claims Makoto Nanaya? You wouldn't be here right now if you had just surrendered yourself to the judgement of the blue flame. Since you didn't, it is my duty to give that judgement to you." Tsubaki explained as Makoto couldn't help but bite her lip hearing what her friend had just told her as she lowered her hands from their raised position.
"And here I was hoping I didn't have to fight you… not like this Tsubaki." Makoto said as she looked at her mechanical arm and clenched it tightly. "Here I was hoping that you could have been reasoned with, that I would have been able to get through to you somehow through that head of yours." Makoto continued as she looked Tsubaki directly in the eyes, assuming a fighting stance as she did so as Tsubaki herself also did the same without hesitation.
"I don't want to fight you… but if it will help get to that thick skull of yours that you're just being used by the NOL for their own gains then I will fight you with everything I got Tsubaki!" Makoto said as Tsubaki couldn't help but scoff a bit as she assumed her own battle stance. As the two friends got ready to fight, Makoto's mind couldn't help but wonder if she was going to be able to fend off one of her best friends long enough for the escape to arrive.
...As she steeled herself for the fight ahead of her.
As the various parties began their various battles, Relius Clover was simply waiting inside his cabin patiently. He didn't need to see what was happening below other than follow the orders and suggestions of Captain Tsubaki Yayoi. As a colonel, he could have directly disregarded her suggestion and did what he pleased. However Relius felt no such urgency to do such things as he had extra time now to do whatever he wanted.
"Ignis, pass me the book on the top left shelf, Research Notes Of The Soul 4." Relius said as he was busy pouring through old notes, old notes he had created to keep track of his research into souls. These ranged from how souls were created and born in the azure to how the outside stimulus would affect the soul. Before he met Makoto Nanaya, he had been feverishly working on his research, making sure he knew as much as he could about a soul's origin to how they were linked with the Master Unit itself.
He didn't stop there, he even searched up various other terms such as the Black Beast, Nox Nyctoreses and how they were created with condensed black beasts. The cauldrons, anything and everything that involved the usage of souls. He made sure to document everything he knew into his notes as he was also diligent in making sure they remained updated, focusing on writing on what would be the 5th edition of his work should he had felt like publishing his works.
As he reached out for a cup of tea, he could have felt the air briefly shimmer as he stopped himself from picking up said cup. "You sure have a way of appearing and disappearing without warning, Servant of the Master Unit." Relius said as Amy stood right behind him, Ignis immediately entering battle mode to protect her master as Amy stood there without hostile intent. "How did you even know I going to come here Relius Clover." Amy said, not surprised by the man's nonchalant nature but at the same time unnerved as he stood up and removed his mask, allowing himself to look at Amy directly with his glowing magenta eyes.
"You should know why I am able to see you, after glimpsing at the truth of the world all those years ago." Relius said as Amy shook her head, realizing that asking questions like the one she did would not help her in this case as she took a deep breath. "Then tell me this, why are you so interested in Makoto Nanaya? Why are you trying to help or even protect her." Amy asked as Relius couldn't help but scoff a bit as he sat down on his table.
"I simply desire Makoto Nanaya's soul. The very essence of it and the trauma of it has made it hardy and hale, but this particular version of her soul is most intriguing." Relius explained as Amy shook her head. "But you know that we cannot allow such a version to exist. She has memories, memories of the one we are trying to erase right now!" Amy explained as Relius remained calm as he reached out for his cup of tea.
"Then simply erase him at this very moment. You have no reason to try and erase the woman's memory. Even should she manage to return back to the gates of the Azure, when she sees that the man she loved is long gone, there would no longer be any point in fighting. Why waste time going after the woman when the answer is most obvious." Relius said, saying the most logical thing a person in this situation would have said if it wasn't for the confusing circumstances they were in.
Amy looked down at her feet, Relius's solution did make the most sense and it was the very first thing the master unit did as soon as Noel Vermillion's wish was granted at that very moment. "I will admit, we did do that first. We did try to erase Sora Minakaze from existence completely… but his soul is simply refusing to go back to the azure." Amy explained, causing Relius's eyebrow to be raised with intrigue.
"Oh? A soul actually resisting the pull of the Azure? Most intriguing indeed." Relius said, writing that down on a notepad as Amy stomped on her foot. "You think this is merely research!?" Amy shouted as Relius was not fazed with her sudden outburst. "Indeed it is. I don't care for the Azure or Master Unit's meddling affairs. I only care for what I can do to expand my detonator research and there is nothing you or the master unit can do to hamper my research." Relius said, walking up to her and standing above her, his gaze piercing her.
"So what truly brings you here? If it is to dissuade me from continuing my pursuit of Makoto Nanaya you are sorely mistaken." Relius Clover said as Amy bit hard on her lips, drawing blood a bit as she wanted to retort, tell him to stop pursuing Makoto Nanaya so that there would be one less obstacle in her way as even though she could take out Makoto Nanaya by herself, the reluctance to do so that was in her heart still remained.
"Or are you here because you still feel guilt over what you have done and wish to have someone else to console you right now?" Relius said, lowering his head as his gaze was focused not at the face in front of him right now but the soul that laid underneath all of that as Amy shook her head. "I do not need consolation from a man who only sees lives as 0's and 1's." Amy retorted, her soul fluttering a mixture of reds and blues in his eyes.
"Indeed you do not… so why are you here in the first place?" Relius questioned as Amy remained quiet before shaking her head. "I figured I would have had a chat with someone whose as intimate with souls as you are to help me figure out why the Error's soul refuses to pass on… but I guess that is futile to ask from a man like you." Amy said as she turned around, intending to leave as she realized what she was doing had nothing to do with her main goal of erasing Makoto Nanaya's memories of the Error.
"Even if the reason is as simple as living?" Relius commented as this made Amy stop what she was doing. "Your question is as simple to answer as what I had just said, it's simply the soul fighting to live instead of passing on." Relius continued as Amy shook her head, refusing to believe that such a simple reason was the reason as to why they had this much trouble. "So long as the soul known as the Error continues to fight for what it believes, it will refuse to die and thus refuse to part to the sea of souls. The only reason why it would choose to pass on is simply if the reason it fights no longer exists." Relius explained as Amy clenched her fist, hearing his explanation.
"But of course you don't need the words of someone who only sees the soul as a series of calculations and materials to be used now… am I right?" Relius finished as he turned around to see that Amy had vanished from his view, causing him to scoff as he walked back and placed his opera mask on his face once more as to not further exert his eyes. As much as it was amusing that a servant of the Azure would personally pay him a visit like the way she did, It did nothing in actually furthering his research as Ignis relaxed from her combat stance and reached out for the book he originally wanted.
"The world being stopped from being rewritten by the Azure due to the defiance of a singular soul? Most intriguing indeed..." Relius said as he couldn't help but note that down as he wondered at the relevance of this revelation. "Is this mere coincidence that the Azure is unable to make this soul pass on?.. Or could it be something else entirely outside of it's control." Relius wondered as he looked at the profile report of Makoto Nanaya once more, his mind simply intrigued by what he knows now.
"The more time we spend in this timeline, the more interesting phenomenon happen. The pull your soul has on the people connected to you is simply marvelous Makoto Nanaya." Relius said as he took a sip from his cup of tea that had become cold at this point as he gestured for Ignis to help warm it up as he looked at the window, the azure blue sky beaming across the horizon as he couldn't help but wonder to himself.
...What the woman of his interests will do next…
GREETINGS LOST SHEEP OF FANFICTION!? HOW IS EVERYONE DOING ON THIS FINE DAY!? I am doing fine myself, just keeping myself sane is all. Man almost half a year again is approaching us. Sometimes I cannot help but wonder if 12 months is too short is the months simply bleed all over each other. Not that I am complaining of course. Can you imagine if we had 24 months of the past few years. We would not only have problems with dealing with the world's current problems but can you imagine coming up with new names for new months. The horror indeed.
SO WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN NEXT TO OUR RESPECTIVE PLAYERS!? WILL THE ESCAPE PLAN CREATED BY THE HEADS AND OUR PARTY WORK OUT!? WHAT KIND OF SACRIFICES WOULD HAVE TO BE MADE IN ORDER FOR THEM TO ESCAPE!? OR WILL THE SACRIFICES BE FOR THE OTHER PARTY AS THE STAGE CONTINUES TO FORM IN FRONT OF US! The only way to find out is to read what happens next.
