Still rumors going around that Caitlin used to be a guy, good, no confirmation for the new kids on that front. And already called in to give advice to Tyson about how to deal with some of the new Grunts. Nice chat between the two, including teasing about Marines just getting madder. No need for food or drink, but makes her feel more human, always good. Having Tyson at Whateley is definitely a good thing.
Oh boy, Eldritch upset and Tyson telling her she can't kill a man, not so close to Carson disappearing, who could it be. No patience for interdepartmental interference in her job, uh oh, pity this man already.
"You look like a Pict with a mad on to murder a Board of Directors."
Okay, scared for the man she is angry at now.
Blue eyed, blonde woman and it is Miss Ellison, a mage there to help confirm some things about Hikaru. Dr. Hewley hasn't changed much, still excited to learn new things about mutants and their powers. Magical girl in the Mercury or Saturn style, nice Sailor Moon reference. Fabric that lets in that much of the light spectrum, figures it is from Celica Rogers. Getting a feeling like that from a laser simulating sunlight, interesting.
"Boss! Hey boss! YO BITCH! I HAVE SOMETHING RELEVANT TO YOUR INTERESTS!"
Bwahahaha, that VI is definitely Caitlin's with that attitude. Couldn't free up Ms. Reilly, in reference to the magic department at Whateley, Nikki is alive and working at Whateley! Or else her brother manifested, became a girl with magical powers, and somehow became a teacher in the past 10 years. Inclined to believe it is Nikki, yay!
And hearing Ellison volunteered to work with the princess, Caitlin gets involved before Ellison can do any real damage. Obsessed with magical girls, very annoying for someone with actual magical powers. A vortex storm of essence energy ripping out of the area, yikes! Oh crud, sounds like Hikaru is going into burnout, not again!
Whoa, didn't Caitlin learn how to channel her magical energy, the description of what she did to the laser emitter sounds like a spell. And Caitlin able to channel essence into the ground like a lightning rod for both her and Hikaru, incredible. If it wasn't for Caitlin, Hikaru might have died, even then still having to treat her for burnout, they shouldn't do testing without someone skilled in magic and not obsessed with magical girls to monitor things.
Caitlin ripping Ellison and Hewley a new one, from what Amaterasu says is happening. And dang, from what we can 'hear' ourselves, that isn't a new one, that is the riot act dialed up to 20. Noted she glows when near danger, yet Amaterasu didn't say anything, and her answer to that is oops. Great, Amaterasu is like Nikki dialed up to 10 when she goofs.
And Hikaru is going to get chewed out by Caitlin as well. Ellison needing to bone up on basic knowledge she is expected to impart upon her students, how she has this job is beyond me. Calling a Marine NCO in full fury an Oni mostly accurate, heh, I bet Caitlin could scare most Oni. When she recovers Caitlin is going to have Hikaru do push-ups until her shoulders separate, ouch. Having to rely on what Amaterasu saw and remembers since Hikaru doesn't remember most of what happened in testing, dang, memory damage again.
And yikes, magic a deceptively easy road to burnout unless incredibly high WIZ-traits, scary. Ms. Bardue or Caitlin, and might have to help re-light her well, oh boy. And Hikaru not knowing all that about her powers until she got to Whateley, very not good, could complicate things more. And that low a chance of the MCO of every getting ahold of Hikaru's file, would have better odds of winning the lottery 10 times in a row from the sounds of it.
And Caitlin knows the whole story is bullshit, attitude pure N'awlins, heh. Great, only Mrs. Carson knew the person who could suggest they be able to access the correct file.
Full powers-testing, physical, and Psych workup with Wyatt.
*groan* All to keep secrets, now she is subjected to more testing. 4.99 burnout in manifestation and level 3 in June, wonder what the scale for burnouts is. 8 hours bed rest and no power usage without direct and immediate supervision for at least 24 hours, ouch. At least Hewley is doing the smart thing now.
Betting the person at school who has the key to Hikaru's full file is Tyson. Burnouts are on a point-five incremental, which would be a 5 and she should be dead, dang. A devise small phone, wonder when Jericho made that for her. Having to call Kako and impress upon them that incomplete files have killed students before. And Caitlin knows what Kurenai is! But Kurenai points out she is registered to the Japanese government and Hikaru, thus not illegal.
And I was right, Tyson is the person with the key to Hikaru's full true file.
"Moving along, she doesn't ping my data publically again, or I'll show her just how fast I can break her encryption without damaging her and reprogram to look and act like Mister Belvedere. If I can't, I've never tried, you know...I'll call in a favor and have Admiral Everhart do it."
Bwahaha, actually scared Kurenai into derezzing and leaving behind 'Understood'. Oh boy, Tyson is in trouble.
Oh crap, she doesn't remember Tyson, this is horrible, forgetting an old friend like that. And Honorable Oni-Sensei, nice new nickname for Caitlin.
Amaterasu decamped for a bit, probably to avoid Tyson's wrath at her memory being this damaged she has forgotten him completely. Oh boy, Tyson won't let Caitlin into Hikaru's official files without a good reason. Verdigris incident, wonder what that was about.
Boy, that is a lot of idiots for her to be dealing with. Kurenai talking to Rissei and the Temple, this is going to be a real pain and Hikaru is going to have to do all the testing isn't she. Criminal Minds, Kurenai has Criminal Minds, please tell me she isn't talking about the TV show. Religious connotations from Caitlin's profile, Agnostic, yet Kurenai says that isn't the problem, *groans*
And Hikaru marked as having WIZ-trait, yet not a WIZ, not even Tyson knows. Check the room for active transmissions, any Cortana grade feed to Kurenai, that Imp VI must be 'fun' to have around. A geas oath to give Le Compete the key, bad idea with Caitlin. An essence
transformer and no well of her own, dang, no wonder Hikaru went into burnout. And yikes, the implications are terrifying.
Still with a secrecy oath, even Wyatt did, dang. Rest of the medical and psych data pre the near lethal burnout in New Orleans. All that data they have to clean Caitlin to know and Kako is going to be pissed about this, oh boy. Interesting detail on Japanese magic and how it works. Hope Caitlin can figure out how to light Hikaru's well, sounds like it would lift some of the burden off her. Preset spells, wonder if any other students have had those and it was mistaken for energizer trait as well in the past.
Caitlin would have to build an essence storage location, sounds like a good idea, until you realize how many students would go after it. Essence stored in shrines, just how much is stored at Ise. And Exemplar-4 mental, magic books are easy to get, different from the US for sure. So that is how Caitlin sees a 'well', interesting. And very exciting way of describing lighting Hikaru's well, ignite her own little star inside. Overbearing Empress, flea bitten wild bitch, nagging ex-wife, hehehe, Hikaru is really loving messing with Amaterasu right now.
Off-hours instruction and who'd be best to walk her through all this, tall order. Amaterasu thinking Caitlin needs an education in manners, unwise to call her a myth as if she wasn't real, she will find Caitlin very different from most when dealing with gods and other entities of their sort.
Except Ebisu-onii-sama. He always thwapped me on the head for doing it at random.
Another hothead, wonder which god Caitlin is referring to.
Yikes, oath with Caitlin as bad as provoking an oath from a Sidhe or dragon, terrifying to think of. And yikes, no wonder Caitlin is avoiding taking such an oath, after dealing with Nephandus in any way, shape, or form I would on principle. A spell that keeps you from telling anyone who isn't cleared already, no wonder someone in the military would want that. And yikes, Tyson better keep quiet about what Caitlin just told him, Imp being told you think you need to learn to laugh more, that is just mean.
Hearing those tales about Amaterasu and also Susano'o, he thought that would get Amaterasu moving, Susano'o is dense, isn't he.
"This was the wrong decade to become immune to alcohol."
And Amaterasu just laughing at Caitlin as she groans, she has a wicked sense of humor.
Those students avoiding her for various reasons, homophobic, ugh. Ellison getting a...sort of apology from Caitlin, Caitlin stating it is easy to forget that sometimes it's a bit harder for others to see what she has actually has to filter out day-to-day. Resonance lenses, interesting. And Ellison is the one who helped revived Wondercute, oh brother. Speaking to her serious is making Ellison scared.
Telling Ellison what Hikaru is, she understands immediately and the implications. And Wondercute bugged Caitlin about making them Sailor Scout wands, good grief. Leaving Hikaru like that just for essence, any student who finds out and tries is going to regret it, if Caitlin gets them to them first I don't think there will be anything left to hand over to the MCO. Breaking a Sorcerer's Contract with Caitlin and she can't control how she responds, scared to find out who did that in the past and what happened to them now. And nice to see Nikki's old crystal still getting some use.
And having to talk to Le Compete now, relax safety standards on all of the weapon ranges, and because of politics he wants to do an experiment using the ranges, this has bad idea written all over it. And he wants to see if interference is a real thing, or a figment of his imagination. Give the appearance the Whateley Range Crew is at odds with, and hostile towards the administration. So many ways this could go wrong.
An office pool like that, these people don't know Caitlin very well. All that and Caitlin is perfect for his. His favor, why was Caitlin not interesting in teaching those classes, they sound right up her alley. A boy whose well is lit but can't channel the essence he gathers, Morgana and probably others. And tells her she doesn't have to teach the class in Kirby, to find her own space, wonder what it will be and where. Not wasted on the ranges, but not growing, Compete has a point.
"You got the wrong Codename. They should have called you Old Nick Scratch." "It was taken." He looked at her. "Time for your grand exit, my dear. Do make it look good."
Hikaru enjoying her time on the balcony when Tiff shows up to break the silence. And Tiff is already spreading the rumor about the Ranges and Headmaster, spreads fast at Whateley. The way Caitlin was acting before seeing Le Compete helped the rumor, teens love to believe things too easily without evidence. Hikaru knows enough to see through the rumor as just rumor, though wonders if there is any truth in it. Hikaru helping out the rumor in her own way, sneaky.
Tiff putting on a show by bouncing around with her robe loosening, Amaterasu teasing her about denying herself the show and pleasure of it, hehe. Breaking the rules on the range, yeah, Caitlin doesn't want anyone hurt, maimed or killed because someone isn't following the safety rules, have to be a hardass. Hikaru going to the old Telephone game to example how things might have gotten mixed up, Tiff finally gets it. And Tiff believes that Caitlin used to be a guy just because she cusses like a Marine, heh. I've heard female Marines in public cuss that badly, gender has nothing to do with it.
Hikaru pointing out Tiff might not want to give the waking students any more of a free show than she already is, Tiff can be a ditz sometimes. Paying attention to what Le Compete and Caitlin do after the bait is taken, plus pay attention to anything else Caitlin says, Amaterasu is very different from any mother I've ever met. Trying to poach Caitlin for Japan, that won't work, she cares too strongly about taking care of the students of Whateley to leave.
Kenshin going through katas for meditation, thinking about the idiots who call him gay, plus the girls who are forward. The Voice aka Hikaru, he can feel her presence, that is useful. Kenshin not looking at her out of respect and some idiots think he is gay because of it, calling what she is wearing slutwear, oh boy, they just stepped into a minefield with that one. Students taking pictures of Hikaru as she runs through the grounds, ugh.
And an idiot going to push Kenshin only stopped by the glares of several girls. And the idiot thinks he is gay just because he isn't ogling Hikaru's legs and ass, what a creep. Avery comes to his defense but the idiot says they don't know what a
real man is, walking away. And what Kenshin says in Japanese, yikes, that guy will regret it if he touches Kenshin.
Kurenai annoyed at having keep pictures of Hikaru offline due to the outfit she wear while out running. And Hikaru knows it, even responding about how Kako said to tease the boys, she is taking that to literally. Don't have to redo all her testing, except Medical, that save some trouble at least. Bwahahaha, the Imp VI collects Gir clips from Invader Zim, priceless. A spot on the hills overlooking the ranges, hope none of the guys have good distance vision or they will be distracted when Hikaru and Caitlin show up.
"A smiling Hikaru is a plotting Hikaru," with a sigh emoji at the end.
No one excepted Cannonball Teacher!
And Caitlin already caught up to Hikaru, despite all the flash steps, that Parkour is impressive. Attunement to a lightning rod that can ground out her accumulate essence if she starts to overload, Caitlin makes the best 'toys'.
Cat toy beam level light, nutria zapper and Hikaru hates those things, still good she can control it enough to emit light at that low of a level. A complete power dump, ouch, still better than a burnout. Laser Pointer Attack, named by Kako due to her love of Shojo, cute. Bwahaha, Chaka Chaka Bang Bang, been a while since we heard Chaka do that attack. Takes that much sun to get fully full with no power use, that is a lot. A conversion organ and storage organ, but not standard organelles most warpers and energizers have that do mass conversion, yikes.
Interesting details about the organs most energizers and warpers have and what they do. Ouch, about halfway point physically between an energizer, and a WIZ-trait that doesn't have a lit well, complicated. Amaterasu examine Caitlin or have Kwannon do it, to compare results, wonder what they would find. After hearing Caitlin is an Artificer Amaterasu has a very good response, art is to be respected, not controlled, glad she has that attitude.
Watch and then do an experiment, having to explain she is converting sunlight into essence, plus hearing she could have powered a major ritual with what she was bleeding off under the laser, that puts it into context more, even scarier than I thought before. The rod feels familiar and Hikaru would need a secrecy oath on one thing to never talk about, she can show Caitlin why. Wonder if it is similar to the 3 artifacts in Japan, that is why it feels familiar, perhaps. A small shrine to channel essence into, would be interesting and a good tool. Not dedicated to her and have to keep shit from draining off what you put in, that isn't a no.
Ah, the item she knows how to recreate it, but can't, not yet, so not the 3 artifacts from the sound it anymore. And what Caitlin just did, beautiful to watch in person I bet. Push-pull exercise, Hikaru saying it is similar to some
ki training exercises as well as some martial arts training. The exercise sounds both simple and extremely complex at the same time with how Caitlin explains it. Ouch! Reddening her palms like that, painful lesson.
Having to warn Hikaru not to try and pull it all, Caitlin is a walking essence dynamo. Interesting to learn more about what essence is and how perceptions and mind tell you how you translate it. Awww, why does she call DragonsFyre an annoying little wanna be bitch. Hearing all that, wonder how some other magic wielders we've met perceive essence themselves. Yikes! The exercise too dangerous to continue for Hikaru, very unusual.
Good, no burnout, we don't need another one so soon. Moderation in action and in learning is something she doesn't do at all, she is going to have to learn or keep having problems. No essence transfers or magical experiments, a tiny tug pulled all her energy and converted it into essence, yikes.
"There are far more effective ways of teaching that lesson than vaporization, and I'm not about to let them get the easy way out."
Kurenai doesn't care about Caitlin's wrath if she vaporizes someone on Whateley grounds, scary. Those who are an actual threat will be dealt with, Kurenai is scary when focused on protecting Hikaru, different from how we've seen her before. A laser to rebuild, after she smashed it yesterday, Caitlin gives herself more work than needed sometimes. Oh god, messing with the TLW credit limits if they are still the little brats describe in Grimes' files, Kurenai can be just mean.
And Tiff's brother thought a guy looked at him funny, so fight in the Arena tomorrow, such a guy thing to do over something so stupid. Either lure Mrs. Rogers to Japan or teach Kenshin how to make the same fabric. Tiff watching out for Hikaru due to her recent burnouts, good friend. And Caitlin recognizing how Caitlin moves and walks, of herself when she'd just started as a student at Whateley. Months of that to get through Lillian Dennon's Exemplar Grace class, ouch.
Bwahaha, getting Hikaru like that with the Marine-issue marching cadence, Caitlin has a wicked sense of humor. Caitlin walking like that, some guys would pay for footage of that. Things buried for a reason and should remain buried, knows who Caitlin used to be and makes a point of it. Dang, most of the things people might need to know and without Carson there not able to know them easily.
And Nikki by name mentioned now, so definitely Nikki Reilly aka Fey, working at Whateley, didn't see that coming after all her plans, though being close to the World Tree as it grows is a good idea.
It's also the one spot in Whateley where it's just not worth leaving listening devices, devises, and scrying spells."
Can imagine, all the explosions and blast from Range 4, painful to the ears at least. Targets up to a kilometer out, and that Graffiti, should have known they would do that.
Caitlin understanding to Hikaru after hearing General Pearson's name dropped. Essence felt hot, difficult to pull past her palms, as if she didn't want to accept it, what is going on. A small Essence Vault, good that Le Compete signed off on it, at this rate it seems the only thing which will work for Hikaru. Ki is the power of the body, essence is the power of the soul, interesting take on things.
Darn, no idea if the architecture of the 'shrine' is secondary to its purpose. Not that it will stop Caitlin from trying, when has anything. A god who has magical overtones from Japan but no one talks about him, wonder who that is. The glade they used to call Fury in, perfect, kids still think there's a demon or something there, bwahaha, how rumors get started.
One of the prominent rocks had a large heart with J+D carved into near the edge
Either teasing us or Jericho and Diamondback started dating and she is a prime candidate as Mrs. Turner. Or Deimos, darn. Two huge candidates.
Only the Outcasts came here, sparring matches, heh, I would love to see one between Diamondback and Anomaly. Smashing rocks and just needs Hikaru back before dusk, Defensive Driving course and Hikaru needs to call Kako as her car hasn't shown up yet. Hikaru running like that after kicking off her heels, she loves to run.
Tia seeing Hikaru show up in that outfit at that speed, bet she ask what Hikaru was up to. Mr. Broucher and another man, Mr. Ballentine, Motor Pool administrator, head of all driving courses and clubs. No, must resist making a pun out of his name. Ready to drive and learn to drive at all times for the course, so no school uniforms, heh, the one time wearing it causes problems for a class. At least they get off for today, close call.
Ouch, spelling out they would know what was needed for the class if they referenced their tablets or personal assistants about it. Students taking notes and Tia thinks there is a slight frown on the advisor's face, wonder why. Ouch, Hikaru doesn't have an IDP, one reason or another why her family didn't send one and needing to get a state license. Wait for the State's OFM, she doesn't know how slow such things can be in the US. Uh oh, things about Japan's requirements for a license got Tia's attention, making her wonder if something else is going on.
Off to see the wizard, another Wizard of Oz reference. And dang, seeing Caitlin at work, awesome. How Amaterasu talks about art and craftsmanship, a lot of respect for the arts. Caitlin in that state as she works, awe-inspiring to see but also scary to get too close to with how focused she is. This structure is going to be very impressive, possibly something not seen on Earth since the Five-Fold Courts, when it is finished.
This is more the art of allowing your will to create something or mark the world.
Ouch, can feel the pain in Amaterasu's voice when she speaks about sealing away things that do not belong here, fighting to teach people the basics of growing food, or basic simple living. Just seeing Caitlin work, I can't say it enough, it is a wonder. A high from creation since she stopped sleeping, so much she doesn't even notice Hikaru. About 4 hours of watching Caitlin work, elements that feel right like pure mahou. And now to see if the shrine works as intended and Hikaru can attune to it.
Good, working safely until they have a better picture to work with. Memories of the Outcasts time in the clearing, good times. And Hikaru knocked out from attuning to the shrine, having to do it again at dawn. Tia and Tiff heading her way.
"Because she insists on doing an impress of a sack of potatoes whenever she tries to figure out her powers?"
Bwahahaha. Smelling salts won't work at night, rats, at least Tia figures out why use a laser on her, good she is paying attention in her classes.
Tiff can be mean to her friend, putting her in those boots in that catsuit just to tease the boys, Hikaru would freak out after being stared at too long. Awww, no pranking Tiff, don't want to get her hurt. And a mini-lightning bolt to wake Hikaru up, braced for a punch and put on the floor by a leg sweep, Caitlin got owned for once, funny to see in this context. Tia laughing, Hikaru's hair slightly puffed out, need a picture of that for later.
Another party tonight, all those reasons for having one, *groan*, like Tiff uses any excuse to have a party. Focusing on the movers and shakers of society as Tiff puts it, no wonder some can't stand Melville kids. Students who are well prepared and able to shape public views for the better, a worthy goal. Yikes, Hikaru's opinion on the MCO and anyone who works for them.
Hikaru hearing the agent that helped Tia was a survivor of the Nazi camps, proving himself worse and she should kill him right now, scary when she gets worked up. Trying to convince Hikaru of anything involving the MCO that doesn't fit her view of them is doomed to fail. And Caitlin shows up, hears what is going on, and says she wouldn't be as nice as Hikaru is being when describing the MCO. Great, Hikaru and Tia upset at each other and storm off, at least Caitlin got them to drop the matter, for now at least.
Talking to Tiff about the matter, how Tia has only seen the good of the MCO, Hikaru has only seen the bad. Oh boy, Tiff thinks someone needs to mediate things between Tia and Hikaru, this could blow up in her face and make it a lot worse. Call her baby sister, plan to spoil a rugrat, wonder which rugrat she is referring too.
Trying to explain how shelter Tia is about mutants the MCO to Hikaru, Tiff has given herself a monumental task. At least Hikaru realizes she was too hard on Tia and feels sorry about it. Blaming people for what they don't know, Tiff has a good point there. Bringing out the knee-high stiletto boots, Hikaru ask if Tiff has been talking to Kako, nope, they just think alike. Having Kurenai send that message to Kako, she is just making trouble for herself now, bet Kako didn't even think of using classmates of Hikaru to get her to loosen up, but now she will. A pair of boots like those in black for Tiff, nice Christmas present when it comes.
Michelle being annoyed by them taking all the attention, get her help as the way she acts isn't normal. Gazebo and J Dean lost the best and have to watch the kids, along with Down who swapped with Tiff, of boy. Tiff is going to get Hikaru to loosen up, one way or another.
Gerard there to see how Tia is doing on behalf of Tiff, him trying to get her to calm down. All the kids there have problems, all have hot buttons, and he is trying to get Tia to see it from Hikaru's point of view. Okay, thanks to Tiff and Gerard it seems like things are going to work out well.
Wait a minute, this doesn't seem right, Hikaru said she was going to apologize to Tia, yet is being cold to her, what is going on. Hikaru not wishing to go to Tia's for Thanksgiving, still upset and wishing to educate the agent, but unable to due to oaths she took. Not able to tell Tia either, as she gave her word, if only she could tell them what she knew. Kurenai gives Hikaru an idea, maybe an ex-MCO agent who shares her view of them can reveal things she can't.
Agent Berkowitz, MCO, retired, wait, why has he retired since he helped Tia out. Or was he already retired and I'm misremembering things again.
"Too kind, perhaps. Too nice. Not yet...jaded. Losing that...would be a shame."
A plush puppy on Tia's head between her ears, we need an artist to draw this!
"Can you take a picture of Hikaru? She's smiling now, and it might break her face. We might need it for reconstruction purposes later. 'Bye now!" Tia bolted, and made it out the door ahead of the plushie storm.
And all is right in the world again, Tia teasing Hikaru in a friendly manner.
Fully attuned to the 'shrine' now and hashing out the details of how to work channeling energy and essence to Hikaru. Slow build up in half increments, safe but slow, 3 times the sun's rays safely. And Hametsu'Yomi, twin to Kusanagi no Tsurugi, impressive.
"Full tang, Guard's ancient. Blade's been folded too many times...She's been reforged at least twice, that's why. Tempered in fire and blood, quenched in a man with your blood. Someone wasn't paying attention, bound the blade tighter."
Too tight to one bloodline to answer anyone's call, anyone else would feel her curse, yikes.
A request for Caitlin later from Amaterasu, could be good and bad. One or two have had those spirits die, we know about Aunghadhail, who else with a powerful spirit has the spirit die I wonder. Amaterasu coming down to check out the latest fashions, I can actually believe that, though seems like a distraction from what Hikaru just said about her. And sparring between Hikaru and Caitlin while Amaterasu channels, with Hametsu'Yomi kept sheathed, nice mod to the sheath.
Can't believe Hikaru started the match with that old teleporter trick, too obvious. Ouch! Trying to kick Caitlin, bad idea, broke her toes on Caitlin's rock form.
"Classical combat? You never met Ito-Soke." Caitlin grinned. "The hell midget would have had a field day with you." Hikaru rolled her eyes, still massaging her toes. "Of course, Ito-done is well known. I'd just shoot him from a distance with a damned tank. His apprentice is bad enough, thank you very much."
And Hikaru doesn't know if Amaterasu had to start lower, originally with her. EX-3 level strength and, somewhat, toughness, though not sure why not full, for about 1 minute of full sunlight per 1 minute of use, still a good power up to have. Amaterasu chiding Hikaru about breaking her feet on stone faces, funny. And revealing that to Caitlin, she trust her already, she is aware of Butcher's Row, yikes, no wonder she is hates the MCO so much.
And Caitlin wanting to talk to Amaterasu for just a few minutes alone now, heh, that would be an interesting few minutes. She has figured out why Hikaru keeps burning out so much, that was quick. And yeah, to those who know Mrs. Carson the school probably feels a lot different without her around, especially for advice when needed. Watch and wait, and pray that she is wrong, oh boy, hope whatever Caitlin thinks she knows about Hikaru is wrong for both their sakes.
Air Force Colonel Samuel Weiss couching the kids in their shooting form, as Caitlin watches her 'minions'. Whoa, what mission is Caitlin about to leave on, confirmed missing girl's identity and where she is being held, a rescue mission. Range REACT, I pity whoever is holding that missing girl now, Whateley Range guys and Caitlin.
Okay, Nikki in that silvery armor and still having her scimitar is awesome. Though how Amaterasu reacts to Nikki is wrong, blamed for the actions of the past Sidhe, unless Ammy thinks it is the same Aunghadhail. WyldChyld, Mister Allen and Imp as well, whoever they are going after is toast. Caitlin and Nikki working together to open a portal, dang.
Who is this poor woman, who held her, and what did they do to her that is in that shape when they return to campus with her. Caitlin's gear trashed, armor battered and rockets used, Nikki's armor dented and bashed up, and most everyone returning injured. Who were they up against to get that harmed in the process. Guess that is for another story, if it is revealed later on.
A great story from start to finish, nice to see how Caitlin and Hikaru have gotten closer through the elder helping out the new girl. And Caitlin crafting that 'shrine', just epic. I can understand Hikaru's hatred of the MCO after all she knows about them, glad with the help of Tiff and Gerard they worked things out between Hikaru and Tia. Just not right without Tia teasing Hikaru.
Wonder if Amaterasu would hate the Sidhe if she knew the current ones have no memories of the Five-Fold Court or if she found out Aunghadhail died. A lot of questions answers and even more added, can't wait to learn more as the stories continue.
