Gaint Radioactive Rubber Pants!

Okay, soooo I was reading through some old posts just now and I've noticed that there is some confusion as too which character is which and I would just like to clear that up real quick. Because I've been changing people's names and stuff and now no one seems to know who I'm talking about. Haahahahaha.

Alright. So firstly,
-Xander is now Fiore. Okay? Emma and Angel's little brother's name is no longer Xander, it's Fiore! Fiore! Because he's apprently Italian. (But whatever you do, don't tell him he's not Italian! Hahahaa)
Next,
-Blaise's parent's names are Gabriel and Ariana.
-Aiden's sister's name is Lillith, but everyone calls her Lily.
-Aiden's father's name is Valken. It was Kai, but now it's Valken.
-Nicademus' Wifie's name is Brandy. It was Levia. Now it's Brandy. And she's a fine girl.
-Kazuo is Kazuo is Kazuo, will always be Kazuo.
-Kerian's evil demon children are Selene and Damien. They were Kikyo and Xanathos, but they're not anymore. Now they're Selene and Damien. Deal with it.
-And Kikyo is the evil dragon wench that kidnaps Serena. Kikyo!

And that's basically all that I have to say about that. Just setting the record straight so that maybe someone other then me will know what I'm talking about. Hahaha

Star Date Monkey Cheesecake Helicopter

I had a dream! It was silly and pointless and that's why I've decided to share it with yoooooou! Aren't you people Luuuuuucky?! Indeed you most certianly are. Hahahaha.

Anyway, this particular dream starts out with me and Blaise and three other people huddled around a fire on my back porch. There's one other chicky chick and she looks kind of like Xena. And there's two Asain guys, and they both look exactly like Thor's Asain friend and they're completely Identical. But somehow I can tell the diffrence. And I have this model of a stage made out of a cardboard box and I'm arguing with one of the Asain guys about it. Because apprently we're starting a band, I'm the singer, Blaise plays drums, Xena's on bass, one Asain guy plays the keyboard and the other one plays the guitar, and he doesn't like the way that I'm trying to set everyone up on stage or the instrament choices. He doesn't want to play the guitar! What a Jerk?! Hahaha.

Anyway, I finally get this guy to see reason and then all of a sudden 21 hundred million bikers come flying around my house and into my backyard. And we just stand there and stare at them. And they don't say a word to us, they just pretend that we're not there. Then finally Xena's like, do you know any of these people? And I'm like nooooo. So, Blaise decides that he'll go talk to them and try to see what's up. He goes over to one grouping of this random people and is like, Soooo, what're you guys doing here? You don't live here. And in a super duper over reaction to a simple question, everyone goes crazy and kidnaps Blaise. And Xena and I freak out and try to go help Blaise but the Asain boys grab us and drag us inside. Where it's safe. Because apprently these people only want to take over my backyard, not my house.

So, we hide out inside for awhile and watch these weird people and then formulate a brilliant plan to rescue Blaise! But we have to wait until night time because that's how these things work. And when nightfall comes, the plan stops making any sense at all! Xena dresses up like a Ninja and runs out into the dark and starts disconnecting all the fuel lines. Then the Asain guys, lapel down the side of my house for no apprent reason, while I simply run out the back door and straight for Blaise. Who is hanging, all tied up on a spike like he's been crucified or something! But he's okay and I get him down completely unnoticed. Then like the second we start to sneak away someone turns on a bunch of big friggin spotlights and all of a sudden we're surrounded!

And from there the dream begins to make evern less sense. Because all of a sudden we're being attacked, but not by the bikers, by like transformers! And then all of a sudden Xena's a mutant or something with super powers and the Asians are shooting lazers everywhere. Blaise has a sword. Oh yea, and apprently we're all Secret Agents!!! Hahahaha. Great dream right?

And in addition to that rambling waste of time you all just sat through reading out of morbid curiousity or perhaps because you really, truly love me, I have an important issue to bring up in this post! And that is, ears and tails. I've talked about it quite a bit in the past, but I never came to a conclusion.......... UNTIL NOW!

Yes! Tis true! Hahaha. And the conclusion is, Tails. This is not some stupid anime, we are not cat girls, or whatever. But I want Emma and Angel and Sabatian to have tails. Why shouldn't they? I mean, it only makes sense! Aiden is a Hawk, he's got wings. Eclipse and Serena are Dragons, they too have wings. Nicademus is a Shark, his eyes turn black, his fingers web and he grows gills whenever het get's wet! Emma, Angel and Sabastian ahow absolutely no sign of their animal abilities and that doesn't really make much sense when my other Vaikas have such obvious animal traits. So, I'm giving them all tails! Whooooo!

The only problem this creates for me is that I now have to make a few more choices such as color and shape and what not. Hahaha. I'll have to decide once and for all what kind of Vaikas Emma is. Because originally she was just a cat. But then I was leaning toward a White Tiger. But I don't nessicarily want her tail to be black and white, so now I'm sort of leaning towards either a Panther or just a cat. But if I just a regular cat then I have to decide whether she get's a bushy tail or a sleeky tail. And Angel! Originally she was supposed to be a white fox, in yet another reference to Yu Yu Hakusho. But perhaps she should be a red fox? It would match the red highlights in her hair. And then there's Sabastian. What color Wolf should he be? It would be easy to say brown to match his hair color, but I am rather fond of grey wolves or perhaps black. Sooooo, yea. I guess that's it for that. Feel free to give me an opinion on anything.

Guys! Guys! Guys! Guys!

Ohmigod?!

I just counted up all the money and stuff people have given me for Graduation and guess what?!

It's enough!

I could buy tickets and a back stage pass to meet ALICE COOPER?!

ALICE COOPER?!

-squuuuueeeeaaaaalllll-

However,

Now I am faced with a problem.

Meeting Alice Cooper is like a dream come true.

He's my idol!

Buuuuuuttt,

The smart thing too do with all of this money would be to save it.

Especially since at the current moment, I don't have a job.

On the other hand,

The Man is 63 years old?!

If I don't do this, I may NEVER get another chance.

NEVER!

.............

Soooooo, what do I do?

Help me!

Granted, you all know that I'm just going to make up my own mind in the end.

But it would be nice to know you guys' opinions of such a thing.

Funderburkes Are Go!

Hehehehe!

Seriously?

Greatest Last Name Evar?!

And you all bettter believe that if my last name were Funderburke, that I would be saying "Funderburkes are go!" every single time we left the house! And singing the Thundercats Theme Song whilest in the car,

Funderburkes are on the move,

Funderburkes are loose!

Funder-Funder-Funder-Funderburkes!

lololololololololololol

And now for the point of this post! I've had an idea. And I need some input about whether the idea is worth working into the book or not. And this is the idea, volunteers!

What? Volunteers? For what?! That makes no sense at all!

Of course it doesn't yet make any sense at all, I haven't explained it yet! Keep yer shirts on.

Now, the other day I was thinking, Aiden is a kind and gentle ruler. The Radic family has been well liked by it's subjects for many, many years. We've done quite well by the kingdom, keeping the peace and what not. So, I was thinking maybe, since we are such excellent leaders and such, that our subjects should love us. And since we are not so lame as King Theodin, asking any male child only enough to hold a sword and old men to help them fight in our hour of need and no non military persons of Zarius are given the oppertunity to join our ranks and help us fight off Kerian, why shouldn't some people volunteer?

Villagers, maybe some of the housing staff. Like Maids and whatever. Everyone has powers. Why shouldn't they all be given an oppertunity to use them? They could still be useful! And why shouldn't we let them fight if they want to fight? Zarius is their Home too! So, that's the idea. When word gets out that Zarius is being invaded, should a small group of civillians volunteer to help defend our country?

I tend to think yes on this one, and I do have a scene in mind where I could fairly easily fit this into the story. But my mind is not entirely made up yet. Soooo, let me know what you think, eh?

I'm The One Who Will Survive

'Cause I Wasn't Built to Lose



Alright, so this post is about my Final Battle Scenes, I've got some updates, because once again I've changed some things! Bet you didn't see that one coming, eh? Hahaha.... Deal with it!

Anyway, moving right along. My dear friend Layfon has been reading through my blog, because unlike a lot of you people that I've specifically given this URL too, -cough, cough- Pipz, Alex Xander, Tim -cough- he actually seems to care about my writing and ramblings. And he offers constructive critisism! -gasp- I know, right?

Seriously though, thank you for all of your input Layfon and Wolf and everyone else who actually gives me opinons and things when I need them. I love you guys! And everyone else... Facebook isn't everything that the internet has to offer. Get a Life and Log Off once in a blue moon. Kay Pumpkin?

Needless to say as I was saying, Layfon has been reading through my blog and he's raised some interesting point about my final battle scene and I think that I rather like the direction that he was going in with this. And although I'm not doing exactly what he's suggested, I have tweaked the exchange between Aiden and Kerian and Hiroshi to be more along those lines. Soooo, here we go.

Basically what's going to happen is, the beginning will stay the same. Aiden and Kerian will clash in an epic battle, until Kerian gets Aiden into a really bad position and Aiden takes off to the sky to avoid getting sliced in two! Which is when Hiroshi takes over. So, now Hiroshi is fighting Kerian while Aiden is circling high above them. I also want to keep this part the same, except instead of having Aiden bust out a random bow and arrow, which I am convinced would be severely difficult to do whilest flying, I'm just going to have Aiden whip his trusty dagger, Zakuro, at Kerian. He shall of course, be aiming for his Brother's head. But I want Zakuro to hit him just below the collar bone on his right side, in the gap in Kerian's armor between the shoulder pad and chest plate.

Now, here is where things start to differ a bit from the orginal plan. After the knife wounds him, Kerian is going to get super pissed, and that's when things start to get more serious. (Because I'm going to write it as though Kerian were just toying with Aiden and Hiroshi up until this point.) And the first thing that Kerian is going to do, now that this shyt is getting serious is break Hiroshi's left arm. Before I was going with some sort of impact break ecause of the force of Uncle's strikes. But now, I'm thinking that I'll go with Juijitsu instead. I want Kerian to grab Hiroshi's arm, turn it over and then smash his elbow, in the same fashion as that move from umm, Cat 3. I think! Just before the Jumping Front Snap Kick?! Wolf knows what I'm talking about I'm sure. Anyway, after he decimates Hiroshi's right arm, Kerian is going to rip Zakuro out of his shoulder and impale Hiroshi's left thigh with it and then kick him in the chest or something so he crashes backwards a bit more dramatically.

Aiden see's this, freaks out and swoops down there. Now, Aiden is a Hawk, so he's quite fast and as a Bird of Prey, he doesn't make a whole heck of a lot of noise when he's flying, and since Kerian is facing the other direction, he should be in prime position to strike, right? Wrong! Aiden swoops down, he swings his mighty blade and he misses! Kerian side steps at the last possible second, grabs Aiden's extended arm, spin him around and slams him right into the dirt, face first. Now, I want Kerian to hold his arm in a highly uncomfortable arm bar like position and possibly step on Aiden's back, in order to keep him still while he uses his super cool Necromancer/Vaikas powers of death to shatter all the bones in Aiden's wings and more likely then not giving a very, Count Adimar like speech. "In what World could you have ever beaten me?" Ya know, that sort of thing.

And then! Kerian stomps on Aiden's neck, killing his little brother before he moves on to finish off Hiroshi. Which he will not get the chance to do, because as I'm sure none of you remember, Hiroshi made Aiden a very special talisman of Ressurection with forbidden Alchemy, just in case the worst should happen. Which obviously, it did. Hahaha. Then we move on to Kerian's "Tragic" Death. Now, I'm still tweaking this bit some, so bare with me. But basically what I'm thinking is this, I want Aiden to get Ressurected and then I want him to call Kerian, but then before Kerian can turn around, I want Aiden to slice his Achilles Tendons in half, so that he drops to his knees. And then I want Aiden to call him again. I want sort of the "Gabriel... Oh, Gabriel..." Dracula type feel to it from Van Helsing. Ya know? Anyway, then Aiden will walk around Kerian, and of course, I will have Kerian be in complete shock at this point. In fact, I might even have him say something along the lines of "There ain't no coming back" which is of course, in reference to The Crow. Um, then I will have Aiden run Kerian through the gut with his blade, twist it, drag it back up toward his lungs and then when Kerian is still talking, pull it out and chop his head clean off! Hahaha.

Which I personally, think will work out quite nicely.
Feel free to let me know what you think.
Love,

I've Never Been in Love Like This!

Calling everyone that loves me!

Alice Cooper is on Tour this Year and he is offering VIP Passes to go back stage!

I could meet Alice Cooper!

And I'd get a special back pack with all kinds of cool things in it.

And an autographed picture and set list.

And, and, and! You get to take pictures with him!

It's the coolest thing ever, right?!

Damn Right It Is!

But there's one problem...

It costs over 400 dollars for this.

...Not including a ticket to the actual show.

I don't have 400 dollars!

Or a credit card...

Do you think that there's any chance that, since you all love me so much, you'd want to donate a little bit of money to my cause and help me meet Alice Cooper?

Maybe?
Please!

I'm going to try some other stuff too. Like selling some of my old things on Ebay or whatever. And I applied to like 3 diffrent jobs today. But still, it would be great if I could get some help from those of you who really, truly love me.

Just think about it.

Pretty please?

You all know that Alice Cooper is my entire life!

I Would Give Everything I Own

Just to Have You Once Again

....

Alright, so remember how I said that in my World we had two Suns? Well, I would just like to clear some things up about that. Firstly! This is not some weird Milky Way sort of thing that just so happens to have two Stars at the center of it. Okay? It's a Binary System.

A Binary System being a pair of Stars that orbits around each other.

Like so,

I think that they are really, really cool. It's a cool concept. They're cool looking. I just like everything about them. Now, I will admit that I haven't done much research on the subject yet. But I will! I promise! Hahaha. Anyway, from what I understand, in a Binary System there tends to be a Primary Star and then a lesser Compainion Star. Now, in my World, Umbriel shall be the Primary Star and Ceres will have to be the Compainion Star. Just because that is how I want it.

Now, as I said before, I haven't done much research yet. So, I don't know what the specifics of how a Binary System's orbit works and what not. But I think that what I'm going to do is make it so that when Umbriel, the larger Star appears largest in the skys over Zarius, it will be Summer time! Because it's bigger, so it would be warmer. And then when Ceres is closer to the planet, since it's a smaller Star, it'll be Winter time!

I'm so logical! Yaaaay!

Now, I don't want to go quite to this extreme, but I do want Umbriel and Ceres to be slightly diffrent colors. One because it looks super cool and secondly because the the chemical composition of the two Stars are obviously diffrent! Hahaha. Obviously.

And um, I have decided that all of that bullshyt about the cursed castle in Book 3, the one that disappears at the end of the Lunar Eclipse is stupid and we're not doing that anymore. Nope! It's just going to be the half destroyed remains of some castle from the old days that Kikyo just decides is a good place to set up shop. Hmkay? Kay!

Oh! But I might keep the Lunar Eclipse in the plotline, just because I kind of like the idea of said Eclipse making Selene more powerful. Because it makes sense to me that a Shadow Demon like herself would be most powerful when there is no light in the sky, ya know? And I think it's a cool concept. And I honestly don't care if you think that it's over used! -cough, cough- Tim! -cough-

Also, I love the dynamic it creates for my final battle scenes and let's face it, Selene will need all the help that she can physically get in order to even hold her own against, Angel. Haha.

The Funk of Fourty Thousand Years

Well hello My Dear Sweet Loyal Fans! I said that I'd work on them and I did! So, may I introduce to you, Vorock Sarrjinsky and The Partially Hydrogenated Soy Beans! TADA!?!!

Spike Von Phuck

This is Spike Von Phuck!?!! He plays lead guitar for Vorock Sarrjinsky. He's go very pretty, deep blue eyes and a cool barbed wirey looking tattoo on his face. The way that his hair looks changes often, but it's almost always a shade of blue. With maybe some purple thrown in there. Hahaha

Gabriel Darkholme

Gabriel Darkholme!! Gabriel plays the Bass for The Soy Beans. He's sort of the mad hatter of the group and is always dressed to the nines in the attire of a gothic gentlemen, complete with his ever presant top hat. Though how he keeps from passing out under the hot stage lights, no one will ever know. Gabriel doesn't talk much, and he rarely sings. But he writes the majority of the band's music and he certianly fits the image of a dark brooding bassit, doesn't he? Haha.

Kitty Nightroad

Little Miss Kitty Nightroad plays the Drums and occasionally sings back up. She loves Cats and her name, so she more often that not wears Cat Ears and a Collar to concerts and interveiws and such. She's energetic and in addition to her rockin roll skills on the drums, her personality has made her a fan favorite. Haha.

Artimus

Artimus... Has no last name! Haha. Artimus is the Lead Singer. He's got a very distinctive voice, making it very hard to confuse his vocals for another band. Which adds yet another dimension to The Soy Beans unique sound. Artimus is usually in the company of a little blue dragon, named Misstress De Winter, that perches on his shoulder. No one outside of the band has ever gotten a very good look at De Winter, so it's hard to say whether she's a stuffed animal or an animatronic puppet or if she's a real Dragon. All anyone can tell you is that the Misstress De Winter has been wowing audiances nearly as long as Vorock Sarrjinsky has. Hahaha.


Anyway, that's Vorock Sarrjinsky and The Partially Hydrogenated Soy Beans?! Aren't they hott?! Hahaha. I'm happy with the way they came out. They're kind of bad ass! Especially Kitty and Artimus!


Um, also, I don't think I mentioned this before, but all of these names that I chose for these guys, where just random things that I came up with that sounded kind of cool. And that each and every one of their appearances was constructed after I chose their name. Not before. Which is kind of cool, or at least I think that it is, because most people do it the other way and stuff like that... And, um, I guess that that's it!?

Why... Are You so Old?

Hehehe! Random awkward picture! Hehehe!

And what are we being awkward about?

Sailor Uranus and Sailor Neptune just pulled up next to us out of nowhere and asked Jupiter to get into the car?!

Super awkward!!

Hey Guys!

Sorry that I haven't been posting much lately.

Taking 6 classes all at the same time was a bit more difficult then I'd imagined.
I know that you're all completely and throughly distraught because of the lack of current posts and insane rabblings from the mind of yours truly.

No really. Thanks for missing me.

.....

YOU'RE SO HURTFUL!

-_-

Anyway, I'm super bored and stuck at school with like an hour to kill before my next class and since it's tuesday there's like no body here for me to harass. Soooooo, I thought that I'd have a bit of fun with this post and introduce you to Emma's favorite band, Vorock Sarrjinsky and The Partially Hydrogenated Soy Beans!! Now, don't steal that name because if I ever actually start a band, you can bet your ass that that's what I'm gonna call it! Hahaha. Anyway, Vorock and the Soy Beans has 4 members.

Kitty Nightroad

Spike von Phuck

Gabriel Darkholme

Artimus

They are like Sick Puppies mets Alice Cooper mets Dir en Grey times LArc en Ciel with a little twist of Bon Jovi in there! Hahaha. Which probably sounds like a pretty strange combination to you. But to me it sounds like some Deliscous Musical Fusion?! -twitch-

Anyway, I'll make some super ridiculous SIMS of these people for you either when I get home or tomaro. Because finals don't actually start until Thursday and I'll have a little bit of time.

I Pick Things Up, I Put Them Down, I Am a Roady!

Hello Lovelies!

Lookit this?!

It's me and Pipz and Ruby Kins at Anime Boston!

Aren't we super cute?!

Hahaha

What I Believed to be True, It Was Only A Dream

Are those Alice Cooper's eyeballs staring at you in a semi-disturbing fashion?

Why yes. Yes they are.

Enjoy that.

And whatever you do, try not to let the fact that he's staring way down, deep into your very soul while you're reading this blog bother you in the slightest.

Really, it's just Alice after all.

Ha Ha Ha Ha

Anyway, the point of this post is as follows, technology. You can't escape it! It's everywhere, right? Right.

But what about in the Makai?

I don't recall whether or not I've ever posted about this issue before in the past. But, I've been thinking about it again recently. So, I figured why not post about such things? Exactly. So post I shall! And here it comes,

But first I have to say, that this book is not Steampunk! Okay? And I don't want it turning into some monstrosity of an Other World/Steampunk cross over! There will be no, ridiculous Steampunk Robots, or Steampunk Nazi Zombies or anything like that running about in Zarius! It will not happen! So, don't get your hopes up. Haha. Anyway, moving right along... Living in the Makai, Vaikas will have access such technology as,

-Gas Lamps

-Printing Press

-Radios

-Record Players

-Trains

-Airships

-Hot Air Balloons

And that's pretty much it. I do not want any cars or motor vehicles of any type. We have Horses and that will suit us just fine, I think. I do NOT want Telephones. And definitely no Television. And I don't want any Steam Powered Ships of any kind. Like Boats? No. I'd like to stick with Pirate Ships and things of that nature. So, no submarines either. And while we're at it, not actual Planes. Like Air Planes? Those are not necessary, I've decided. So, no. We will be having none of that. Hahaha.

..................................

And as far as Military type technology, I see no reason for Vaikas to have guns or bombs, or even cannons for that matter. Catapults and our most fabulous Vaikas Powers shall do just as nicely, thank you. (I should really get to work on coming up with a name for those powers, like I said that I was going to like a year ago, shouldn't I? Haha.) Ummm, Advancements in Medical Technology are basically unnecessary in the Makai. However, I have yet to decide how I feel about things like Farming Equipment and how advanced I want our Kitchen Appliances to be. So, I guess that I'll have to get back to you on those cutting edge fronts. Haha.

.............................

Um, in other news, I am considering the possibility of floating islands in the sky. And yes, I know that it's been used before and it's not original, blah, blah, blah. But it is sooooooo cool! And would floating islands in the sky not make a perfect port for Airships and such things? It most certainly would! (I'm also thinking that such ports could be build into the sides of mountains!) And I like this idea so much, that I may even be considering turning Harcos into a floating island instead of a stationary continent! Or perhaps, instead of sending Lily and Aurora away to live in Rayet or in the country sides somewhere in the middle of no where, where my deranged uncle can't get to them, I could send them to live on just such an island! That would be pleasant, dontchu think? I certainly do. I probably wouldn't make both of those changes though. I mean, I wouldn't want it to seem like everything interesting in the Makai happens on floating islands in the sky! That would just be weird! And now for something completely different!?!!

This is a creepy picture of my Hubby, Johnathan Faust the 8th!

-squeal-

Isn't he just the cuuutest?!

I haven't posted any pictures of him in quite some time... Or ever! So, I just thought that I'd remind ya'll about Dear Old Johnny! Haha. He doesn't really look it in this particular picture, but he's a real sweetheart!

When You're Strange... Say Spoon

I don't know why, but my Blog is being super tardy about the spacing and shyt of all of my posts all of a sudden. Which is rather vexing... Also, believe it or not, I've already posted this same post, twice. So imagine my shock an surprise when I go to check my blog, foolishly hoping that some one might've commented on it, only to find that there is in fact no post for me to check! Nope. Just a half written draft of this post for me to rewrite and attempt to post again. Let's hope that it works this time....

Alright! So, this will just be a real quick post with some updates, because I would like to inform you all that I am making a few changes to Part Three of my Book. Now, I realize that I don't talk about Part Three very much, as I have not yet finished writing Part One of my Book.... -_-" But I've been thinking about it quite a bit lately and I feel like posting! So, you're just gonna have to deal with the super random subject of these posts as you always have, won't you? Yes, I believe you shall!

MWAHAHAHAA!?!!!

So, mostly this post concerns the quest at hand and Vlad, Krystal and Andromina's involvement in said quest. Originally, it was supposed to be Emma, Angel, Krystal, Blaise, Darnell and Vlad on the quest and then later on we'd be joined by Nic and Atreyu. And then Fiore, Elonwey, Andromina and Sabastian at the castle with Zareck. However, lately, I have been pondering bringing Andromina along on our little quest. But I have a few concerns about doing that.

Number One. Would that be too many people? I mean, I don't want to have to force dialouge between people so that everyone's included in all the scenes. And I don't want the fight scenes to become too confusing with all of those people or anything like that.

Number Two. If I decide that there are too many people, who do I leave behind? Basically Vlad's entire character is just to be conflicted and react to whatever Blaise is doing. So, he doesn't add too much to the story. Unless it comes to fight scenes, because he and Blaise work very well together whilest fighting. Then there's Krystal, she can't fight! She's awful with a blade. But she's the Healer. And it might be wise to have one of those around, wouldn't it? And lastly, Andromina. As, she is the extra character that's throwing everything off balance, naturally it would make sense to just leave her behind, right?

The Problem. Because Eclipse's toxic Dragon blood got into his system, Blaise's DNA was mutated and now he's also half Dragon. Which means that Kikyo is after Blaise as well. So, the chances of Vlad staying behind when the Love of his Life is charging off to war with a psychopath that wishes to cut out his heart and eat it, are painfully slim. And Krystal is not only the Healer, but Angel's Lover and Krystal knows that Angel is still suffering some pain and side effects of Selene's poison, so I rather doubt that she's be easy to leave behind either. Plus! What if Eclipse and Serena have been injured by Kikyo or in the process of the rescue? We need her! And then there's Andromina! She is Emma's best friend. Granted, that's not a great reason to keep her around. But I also have another reason! And that is, that I think she'd be useful to have around in the final fight scene.

Why? Because at the moment we have Darnell covering Krystal while she finds a way to break the trance that Eclipse and Serena are in. But as we all know, Darnell has never been trained to use anything but a Giant Bowie Knife and a huge range of Guns! Guns for which he has an exceptionally limited number of bullets, because in Zarius we don't use Guns. So, he would run out of shots pretty damn quick. Now, I am thinking that instead of having Darnell cover Krys, we could leave Darnell outside with Nic and Atreyu and his Sea Rats to snipe and ambush all the guards patroling the area and what have you. And in his place, Andromina can cover Krystal. Since she is not only a most fabulous Archer, but a Swordsmen as well, I think that she'd be just a tiny bit more helpful in the final battle.

But don't worry, if I decide to do it like that, Darnell will still get the kill shot and snipe Kikyo down off the roof. Hahaha. Anyway, at the moment, I'm sort of leaning towards taking Andromina along with me because of all the madndmess that I just described to you about the final fight scene. But also because, Zareck is like 4 when all of this stuff would be happening and I tend to think that Sabastian, Fiore and Elonwey, left alone in a big castle with a 4 year old running wild all over the place has endless possiblities for entertainment. Hahaha

Let me know what you think!
