Mine's up. Xodus, I hope you don't mind, I took a few liberties with Gadrael's attack, and since Kai and Lina were last on the list I figured it wouldn't matter much if I added an extra sixty seconds to the battle. That's all it took for them to be beat almost to death. >.< When attempting to write Lina and Kai waking up naked in the pods, in a room containing other people, I realized something. The sight of those pods, coupled with being naked in front of Kai and everyone else, after what just happened... was going to be enough to give my little doll a bit of a mental breakdown. Since I figured it would be better to play it in such a way that wouldn't leave her a sobbing mess for the next several hours and too embarrassed to show her face for the rest of the day... I gave them an early out. They were no more than half an hour ahead of everyone else, and are going to have breakfast while they wait. Again, I hope that's okay with you, Xodus. My theory is that it's better to ask forgiveness than permission. If you really want me to edit the post, I will... but it turned out so beautifully! Now, off to my Twisted threads. x.X
