#I do like Carla and I'm glad he was able to deal with things so well but...

[melishade]

amazing chapter!!! Firstly enjoy the bit with Primus giving there weapon and them freaking out, I’m glad that Primus help them made peace, wish there was a bit with Lara. Love how Primus is still keep the level of disdain with Eren, also thank you!! With the trio’s discussion, like damn Eren is his worst enemy. Glad that Mikasa and armin came to terms and stopped defending him, also f*ck, he loved her but want freedom more (imagine what happened if they know what he did to his mother😬)

I’d figure that founder yimr and Mikasa will be in the touched. And armin discussion with Primus jeez the brass on this kid. Interesting that Primus showed armin the other and original timeline. ( I figured he would have a mental breakdown on predetermined fate)

liked pieck’s moment, the emotional goodbye. Returning to the living world the burning of the scarf was good. Finally the segment with Optimus and Megatron short but gut wrenching. Ratchet and bulk only saw prime scream in frustration but this… nah. Over all this chapter gave what wanted and what I did think I want 😁

Firstly, thank you so much for the praise. Secondly, let's go in depth.

I do wish that I could have talked more about Lara, re-introduce other characters and have more emotional reunions, but it just would have derailed the whole chapter and it would have taken so much longer. I can't bring everyone back. I did figure Hanji asking Primus to

I'll probably have Primus talking to other people in prompts asks or a mini anthology. I'm not sure yet. We'll see what happens.

And yes, Primus still hates Eren's guts because Primus gave Eren and option and Eren chose genocide. He's not going to forgive that. Despite the fact that he refers to Unicron as brother and feels lament over their degraded relationship, Primus acknowledged he was committing genocide and took action. There's no exception with Eren. And yes, Eren is a slave to freedom and it ends up destroying him and the relationships that he had!

But in regards to Eren taking out his own mom in the manga and anime, it just felt like both a plot hole and one final twist that Isayama was trying to make and we only had one hint towards Eren's interference, but that could easily be chalked up to Dina's titan being an abnormal. Carla's death is strictly happenstance in AOP.

Mikasa and Ymir's connection in AOT was...weird. Because many of us were led to believe that Ymir was waiting for Eren to release her from the power of the titans, but it turned out she was waiting for Mikasa to release her because she saw how Mikasa was able to let go of Eren, allowing Ymir to let go of Fritz because she was in love with him and served him because she loved him. The analysis and criticism has already been done, but it definitely felt rushed and out of nowhere for me. I do have Ymir look at Mikasa letting Eren go, implying Ymir's feelings towards Fritz, but just didn't outright say it.

And Armin and Primus' conversation, oh boy! That's a can of worms there! The conversation was going to go very differently, but as I was writing this chapter, I got creative and I thought that Armin, dealing with both Optimus and Megatron, and the loss of Eren, while also learning that Primus had a hand in the Rumbling happening, deserved to know what Primus saw. There were also a lot of people in the comments calling out Primus and calling him hypocritical for letting genocide happen. So I have to explain that things are not that simple. Primus doesn't want to impose control and take away freewill to obtain peace. Even if he did do that, he would only be able to affect the Eldian people, not everyone else. He can't change the minds of the Marleyans. Additionally, altering the fabric of time puts the whole universe at risk and he can't do that. If Primus had the opportunity to make the Peaceful Timeline a reality, he would do it in a heartbeat. Also additionally, Primus showed Armin glimpses of these alternate timelines, not the whole thing.

But the reason why Armin didn't break when shown alternate timelines was simply how he reacted in the anime. When Eren told Armin the truth, Armin was understandably angry at Eren, and as he wept, he still clung onto the idea of hope. That hope does exist and it could be used to change the heart and minds of the people into creating a peaceful world. And the fact that Primus with his all seeing power still can't find another solution to the madness he claims he wants to stop? What does that make him? Also, Armin has been dealing with Megatron's bullshit for four years along with immense amounts of trauma. He's not about to buckle to god when he's been through hell.

Also, Pieck deserved an explanation for everything Primus unintentionally put her through. And Primus of course has to make a grand gesture when ending the power of the titans. And in regards to the end, if you haven't seen this ask telling you to listen to the song while reading the ending, I recommend that you do.

STS time! (No pressure tho)

All your characters got arrested, oh no! What crimes did they commit to land them in jail (and which ones could talk their way to freedom)?

Thanks for the ask! So glad I managed to make it here before midnight.

Let's categorize these. You said all characters so this is a long one. Every character of importance in TSP. Not just the core cast. But I'm not doing minor characters lol. And SOTL isn't developed enough I'm not going too crazy with this.

Also I'm likely to be vague about the specifics of the arrest to get the sense of their personalities. Also I think I'll include a few arrests now that I think about it. Thanks!

All of it is under the cut. Uh sorry I picked a lot of characters.

Least likely to break the rules

Carmen - her whole thing is doing things The Way They Are Supposed To Be Done. She would have to be driven to quite the breaking point. She's extremely loyal, more so than people think. So if it comes between her and her loyalty she may just break the law out of loyalty. Could she talk her way out of freedom? Eh she'd yell but she'll need help. If she managed to get the upper hand and control the situation maybe but I doubt it.

Noelle - similar to Carmen though with an intense loyalty mainly through blood family, but her problem is following the law. May be arrested if she oversteps her power. She could be pushed for murder. Could not talk her way out. Punch, sure.

Lexi - I think this poor girl would cry if she were arrested. Also a loyalty thing to push her, but it would be a long time coming. In a state of emotional turmoil she may do something drastic. Actually I know she will. Could be pushed for murder. Can talk her way out if she manages to calm down.

Akash - probably would have a crisis if arrested too. If pushed really far could get into a physical fight but honestly it would be hard getting him arrested. He could easily talk his way out. Probably by annoying someone.

Gabriel - oh man. He's arrested because it's someone else's fault. He would never intentionally. He probably caved enough to help a little bit but then got over his head and got arrested for kahoots. Probably could talk his way out.

CJ - more easily coerced to do illegal things than Gabriel but it also will be for helping someone else. Could talk his way out.

Hye-Jin - if someone provoked her she will provoke back, so that's a prerequisite. Something personal probably came up and she was defending someone. Doing the right thing kind of deal. Probably could not talk herself out.

Kelsey - same as above but she will definitely get physical and lose control of her powers. Could not talk herself out but if calm she could complain up a storm.

Would do something illegal

Gwen - won't consider breaking the law unless she has personal stake in it. That being said she would steal something. Maybe even something classified. If possible, she can use others weaknesses to get out of a situation. It has to be just right for her.

Jedi - mans would break the law more if he wasn't so conflict adverse. He wants to uproot the system trust me. If he manages to crawl out of the hole he has dug himself, that. I don't think he could talk himself out.

Robbie - probably vigilante justice. Yes he could talk his way out. Even annoy his way out.

Teo - could be arrested for anything honestly. If dedicated he will just do things on a whim with no regard for the law. Could talk himself out I think.

Wade - also vigilante justice. Probably trying to expose a corrupt government. Could talk himself out.

Issa - you'd think she would never break a rule but she will. If she's pissed off enough. If you get her to that point run. Capable of seriously injuring you. Could talk her way out.

Carla - what she needs is a confidence boost and then she'd easily be able to break the law. She would do something relatively minor, no violence involved, usually for another person's benefit. She'd try to talk her way out but 50/50 if it works.

Ewan - has the confidence to break the law but he wouldn't want to do it alone I feel. A sense of justice seems to be common in this section. Might be able to talk his way out, surprising many.

Tyler - yeah he would break the law if something was stupid. The kind of person who would break a law for the sole purpose of proving how dumb it was. Probably could talk his way out of it.

Anathi - would break the law because he hasn't exactly interacted with people before. He doesn't know what's going on other than that it doesn't sound right. Could not talk his way out.

Raissa - well I mean she has murdered and kidnapped and overthrown a government for herself so. Yeah she could be arrested for those things. I'd say she be able to talk herself out of it. But some things you cannot talk yourself out of.

Atsila - yeah extortion or trying to overthrow a government sounds right. She's confident she did the right thing and will be able to talk her way out of it. She cannot

Liam - bro could overthrow the government and be able to talk himself out of it. But honestly he's more likely to do smaller scale things. Could break into places or maybe spy.

Xitlali - same as Liam only she'd actually decided to overthrow the government

Love rule breaking

Rose - the girl has been emotionally repressed for years she has a lot of steam to burn. Probably could just be graffiti though. I think she has it in her to talk herself out of the situation.

Niri - honestly I don't think he'd be caught. He's so unassuming but he has a huge rebellious streak. Would take a lot of rule breaking to get him caught. Might be persuaded to break a bigger law which would get him caught. He can't speak orally but has the potential to "talk" himself out if he's given the means.

Maddie - physically attacking someone for sure. Maybe something really bad due to her shapeshifting abilities. So many animals are deadly. She won't feel any guilt. She'd try to defend herself. Could not talk out of a situation.

Ash - she'd break the law in pursuit of her own pleasure. Drugs, doing other crimes to get drugs. I can't imagine the mess she'll be as an adult let alone now. Could not talk her way out. Psychic powers may be activated.

Parker - he'll break the law because he's bored. Get arrested for the thrill. Can 100% talk himself out of most situations.

Jazlyn - slightly more bothered than Parker about getting arrested but she had fun doing it. More likely to be for an emotional reason if it's really bad though. She'll deny it. Yes she can talk herself out.

Sam - probably she got emotionally compromised and lashed out at something. Maybe also was doing it for a thrill ride to cover something bothering her. Honestly could talk herself out of the situation once she calms down.

Alex - less bothered than Sam for sure. May bring a few friends in, too. Will have so much fun doing it she won't think of the consequences. Could talk herself out of it unless she's unfamiliar with the law she broke.

Hope this was good and if you read this far thank you??? This is also a good resource for ME because I definitely need more arrests in Part Three specifically.

Carla’s CL Route: A Shin Fan’s Thoughts and Feelings

I have such mixed feelings on this route but I’m going to try and relay them as articulately as I can. Obligatory warning, this post contains massive spoilers for CL (mainly Carla’s route but i’m going to mention some of the other routes too). Now without further ado:

Before I delve into any of the issues I had with this route, let’s start with what I liked. Firstly, I think it’s safe to say that Carla hands down deals with the situation the best after he gets his memories back compared to the other routes I’ve played (Shin’s, Shu’s and Laito’s) and I would be very surprised if any of the other characters are able to handle things as well as he did (although admittedly that’s partly because he’s just so much more powerful than everyone else). I did like that the writers were able to show off how capable he can be, while still bringing up stuff like how it isn’t good at cleaning or cooking.

I liked the plot point about Carla being able to live without Endzeit if they stayed in the miniature garden as I thought it was an interesting concept.

I found it very interesting that Subaru was the only other character to regain his memories in this route, especially given that Carla actually played a role in his LE route which wasn’t the case for any of the other Sakamaki brothers in LE. I can’t help but wonder if the writers have them as a brotp when considering that they were also paired together in the Versus IV CDs. Regardless, I did enjoy seeing their interactions in Carla’s CL route.

The scenes between Carla and Yui after Carla gets his memory back are great and I’m sure Carla fans will have a field day with them.

Now, lets move onto to the issues I personally have with this route.

Because Carla is shown to be so capable, I never really felt fearful for the characters. In contrast, in Shin, Shu and Laito’s routes they all had moments of genuine peril outside of the bad endings, which meant I felt really concerned and was drawn into the story. Carla’s route however, went something like this: Oh no, how are they going to deal with this unexpected development? Ah wait, he solved it in an instant, as expected of Carla I suppose. Oh no, how are they going to deal with this other unexpected situation? Ah no nevermind, he dealt with it right away again... and so on.

This might just be personal preference, but in my opinion if you really want people to get invested in a story, there needs to be some element of risk for the characters (even if you know there’s going to be a good ending). If you take that away, even though the fluffy bits with Carla and Yui were lovely, every time we got to one of the more plot-orientated parts of the story, I’d start to get invested only for there to be no pay off as there never really seemed to be much of a problem in the first place. This is why you have to be a bit careful when coming up with characters to make sure that they have some sort of weakness, otherwise the audience knows they’re going to be fine whatever.

Yes Carla is undoubtedly the strongest of the boys when Karl’s powers aren’t involved (and especially when Endzeit is removed from the picture) but I still feel like there should have been something. We came a little close with Shin getting close to being killed by the Scarlet family but Carla took care of it so easily that it just felt a bit... I don’t know, flat maybe?

And now onto my biggest bugbear of the route: how they handled things with Shin. 

First things first, I am fully aware that I am incredibly biased here and Carla fans, you may see no issues with this route at all and honestly, good on you, I’m glad you enjoyed it, but hopefully after the end of this post you’ll at least understand why I was a little upset.

Things started off really well on this front, I loved the scene where Carla starts to remember things, Shin cuts his arm and then says that seeing Carla kneeling in front of him makes him feel frustrated for some reason. I was pleased when Carla and Yui went to rescue Shin (and by extension Ruki) when they were being attacked by the Scarlet family and the angst when Carla and Yui saw Shin treating Ruki as his big brother. But it then just... went nowhere (well in the Euphoria ending anyway, I’ll get onto that Labyrinth ending later).

The writers threw in some token lines from Shin in chapter 15 sure, but did he get his memories back before they returned to the real world? No. Did we get any sort of scene between Shin and Carla after Shin had gotten his memories back? No. In the route to achieve the Euphoria ending could Shin have stopped existing from about chapter 12 onwards and it wouldn’t have changed anything? Honestly, yes. 

I genuinely don’t think this would have bothered me so much had it not been for two things: 1) how much of a big deal trying to return Carla’s memories was in Shin’s route (although I would never have really expected anything else) and 2) the fact that all of this Shin and Carla angst was dangled in front of my nose only for there to be no pay off whatsoever.

I know this route is meant to ultimately be about Carla and Yui, not Carla and Shin’s brotherly relationship but I can’t help but feel cheated that the little Carla and Shin content we did get never amounted to anything. There was no heated discussion/argument between the two of them, there was no exciting climax where Shin tried to kill Carla because he still had his fake memories. Hell, we didn’t even get a token scene at the end where the brothers finally both had their memories back; Shin was unconscious for the conversation with Socrates and then he never comes up again.

My main point here is that I don’t think it was a good decision to include all these bits about Shin being important to Carla and then to not do anything with it in the climax of the good ending.

I acknowledge that there was no big climax in Laito’s route with the triplets either but at the very least Kanato and Ayato got their memories back and made sure that Shu and Reiji didn’t kill Subaru while Laito and Yui were trying to find a way out of the miniature garden. Shin didn’t even do that much.

Now as for labyrinth ending, oh boy where do I even begin. Putting aside the fact that Shin getting infected with Endzeit is literally the one thing I never want to happen in the franchise, I wasn’t a fan of it at all. Part of my reason for not being a fan of this ending comes back to my point about Shin playing such a small role in the Euphoria ending version of chapter 15 that he could have been replaced by a mop and I don’t think anyone would have noticed. 

However my biggest issue is that we get no information on what’s actually happened to him in that ending.

For anyone unfamiliar with that ending, in the Labyrinth version of chapter 15 Shin tries to kill Yui before they reach the church (as he still hasn’t got his memories back) but Carla protects her and gets stabbed. Shin gets covered in Carla’s blood and because his wounds from earlier in the route haven’t healed yet, they suspect he’s gotten infect with Endzeit. As a result, Yui and Carla decide to stay in the miniature garden where time is effectively frozen rather than return to the real world and have Shin potentially die from Endzeit.

The actual ending is just Yui and Carla talking about whether they’ve made the right decision. They say Shin hasn’t shown any signs of Endzeit but did he get his memory back? Are they just keeping him locked in the dungeons so he doesn’t try to murder them both? Who knows.

I can’t help but feel that it was very unfair to have Shin used as a bad ending plot device and then cut him out of that ending too. 

Also I am calling complete bullshit on that line about Carla being able to suppress his symptoms. I get that Rejet are probably trying to hint to his DF ending where Yui’s blood is magically able to hold off Endzeit symptoms (which was retconed for LE but might be thing again now apparently?) but then why was there any hesitation from Yui over going back to the real world versus staying with Carla in the minature garden??? Like this makes no sense at all. Either Carla is dying from Endzeit or he isn’t, you can’t pick and choose within the route itself depending on what’s convenient.

Anyway I’m starting to rant which isn’t good, so I’ll bring an end to this post here. 

Do I think the route has its good points? Yes, absolutely, I think Carla fans who enjoy his softer side will have a great time playing it. Do I personally have some very specific problems with it which are likely related to the identity of my favorite character? Again, yes.

Anyway I’d be interested to know if anyone agrees with me or if I am just a Shin-obsessed mad woman. I’m going to go and listen to one of Shin’s drama CDs or something while I go and calm down. Hope you’re having a good day and thanks for reading :)

[When Fairy’s Meet Toons]

Fairy Tail X Animaniacs AU]

Chapter 3: The Union of Villians

Vlad: "These fools think they stand a chance against us."

Aku: "I don't know but I'm insulted that they aren't shivering in fear right about NOW!!!."

Aku shape-shifts into a giant dragon and heads straight to the Warner Siblings.

Yakko: "A dragon huh?"

Yakko: "Hey Natsu how's about you take this one while we deal with Casper over there."

Natsu: "No way he's a dragon too?"

Aku: "I can be whatever your little feeble mind can comprehend."

Erza: "Sounds like an extreme version of taking over magic."

Natsu: "We'll whatever you are, prepare to burn down into a pile of ashes."

Natsu: "FIRE DRAGON BRILLIANT FLAME!!!!"

Aku teleports away in a blink of an eye and his body slams Natsu into the ground.

Lucy and Happy: "NATSU!!!"

Gray: "I'm tired of this will we or won't we crap we're not leaving here without some answers right guys."

Everyone agrees and they stay to fight to see if they could gather any more crucial information from these higher-ups that seem to know more than they let on.

Gray: "Alright Juvia like we practiced."

Juvia: "I'm ready when you are."

Gray: "Alright then, ICE MAKE GEYSER!!!"

Juvia: "WATER NEBULAE!!!."

The duo attacked straight at Aku but got canceled out by Ozai using the Natsu attack to cancel out their attack.

Gray: He used Natsu fire to cancel our attack.

Aku: I thought you weren't so keen on our attack, glad you came around.

Ozai: This has taken far too long, we need to go back to headquarters, and if it means deposing some wizards along the way, so be it.

Natsu: You don't scare me.

Natsu: FIRE DRAGON ROAR!!!!

Aku: You insolent fool don't you know who he is?

Aku: "That's Ozai the Fire Lord!!!"

Ozai Effortlessly changes Natsu's attack and changes its direction where Gray and the rest are.

Erza: Get down!!!

Erza: NOW REQUIP!!!

Erza: ADAMANTINE ARMOR!!!

Erza blocks the giant fireball that got more powerful and hotter as it was at the beginning.

Natsu: Dammit!!!

Aku: Now do you realize how hopeless you are?

Aku: Hell if you just hand them over, we might let a few of you live.

Lucy: If you think we're just going to hand them over to you, you got another coming.

Wendy: Yeah because you just made an enemy of Fairy Tail!!!

Aku: This is going to be fun.

Erza: Natsu, Gray, Wendy, Juvia, Happy, and Carla you take care of Aku while I take care of Ozai.

Natsu: What?!?!, that's crazy, let me help you.

Erza: No I can't let you face him, he is an excellent fire user and your fire will just empower him since he's able to use your fire to his advantage effortlessly and make it 10 times stronger.

Erza: Don't worry I'll make sure to get some answers out of him.

Erza requips into her flame empress armor and charges at Ozai as everyone else focuses their attention on Aku.

Yakko: Now that that's settled let's teach this ghostly looking fellow never to mess with a toon.

Vlad: "Alright you little pests prepare to be neutralized."

Vlad turns invisible as he tries to capture the siblings in one quick swipe.

Dot: "About that whole neutralized thing, why do you guys want to capture us exactly?"

Vlad: "You toons are far too powerful to be left roaming around without being checked."

Vlad: I mean you toons can be burnt, zapped, sliced, and blown up yet you're still able to get up without a scratch.

Vlad: So we took it upon ourselves to round up your kind and take your amazing power for ourselves."

Vlad: Thus enhancing our abilities so we can wreak havoc on not just this world but throughout the whole multiverse."

Yakko: Sounds like your typical taking over the world plan to me just with a lot more steps."

Vlad: "Indeed there are a lot of moving parts for our plan to become a reality and I won't let a couple of kids ruin it."

Vlad: Take this GHOST STINGER!!!

Vlad sends out ecto-energy only for the Warner siblings to dodge it and retaliate with a classic anvil to the head; however, it just goes through him since he's in his ghost form.

Yakko: Oh right he's a ghost.

Dot: Yup which means our usual slapstick antics won't be any help here.

Yakko: Looks like we'll have to rely on our good old noggin for this one.

After failing to land a hit on the siblings despite him being invisible he decides to try and possess one of them.

Vlad: Aha!!

Vlad: Your body is under my command now!!!

Vlad possesses Wakkos's body but that ends up backfiring real quick.

Vlad: Now let's see what you toons are made of.

Vlad desperately tries to do anything with his newfound body but he can't seem to do anything crazy other than throwing weak punches.

Yakko: What's wrong Vlad can't seem to figure out what makes us so great?

Dot: If you ask me you should probably just give up since as you can see we're not so special after all.

Vlad: What's wrong with this body, don't you have anything useful to defend yourself with?"

Wakko "Of course I do."

Wakko says as he makes his way into the battlefield after taking a break to go to the bathroom.

Vlad: Wait if that's you then who is this?!?!

Wakko: Oh that's Steve, thanks for covering for me Steve, I could always count on you."

Vlad leaves Steves's body and is now extremely angry after being tricked.

Steve: "No problem Wakko, always happy to help."

Yakko: ''Wow that stunt double you hired came in clutch their Wakko."

Wakko: That's our Steve.

Vlad: Enough!!!!

Vlad: I had enough of you three!!!"

Yakko: Sorry to tell you this but we're not done with you yet."

Dot: Yeah we still need to know who is the one who started this whole thing because I can't imagine you and your circus freaks over there are calling the shots.

Wakko: Also you still haven't mentioned how you plan to extract our powers and use them for yourselves.

Vlad: Don't worry about that, you three will get an up-close view on how we plan to do just that when you're captured."

Yakko: Well then I guess we'll never know.

Dot: I don't know about you Yakko but I don't think this dufus is going to give us any more information.

Yakko: Yeah I don't think so too so let's just wrap this thing up shall we.

Yakko: Wakko will you do the honors.

Wakko: On it

Wakko proceeds to look through his bag and pulls out a vacuum cleaner.

Yakko: Alright Wakko let it rip.

Wakko: Oh mister Vlad I have a surprise for you,

Vlad: You think a measly vacuum could save you from my wra-

Vlad: Wait what's happening....

Vlad: No, I refuse to be beaten this way.

Vlad: Nooooooo!!!!

Yakko: word from the wise Vlad, you talk too much

Vlad: This can't be, why can't I get out?!?!?

Yakko: Well you see the battle between ghost and vacuums go way back when a brave Italian man decided to go against all the odds and save his fellow Italian brother from an evil ghost thus leading him to encounter this mad scientist that taught him the ways of the vacuum and how it's a sure way to deal with ghosts.

Dot: It works the same due to our cartoon logic but for the sake of the reference that's why.

Yakko: Alright sibs that's one down and two to go.

As the Warner siblings wrap up their fight against Vlad, Natsu and his team fight off Aku as they try to get some answers out of him as well.

Natsu: What's up with you and your buddy over there, why are you so determined to capture them?

Aku: The real question is why are you so hell-bent on protecting them?

Aku: If I'm not mistaken they currently have a bounty on them, isn't that right?

Aku: Straight from the top dogs in your world.

Natsu: You're new from around here so let me fill you in.

Natsu: We aren't known to sit on the sides and let innocent people get hurt.

Natsu: That's just ain't our style.

Lucy: Plus they did nothing wrong, they were just confused and afraid of their new surroundings after you all decided to take them away from their world.

Gray: So if you want to catch them you'll have to go through us first.

Aku: Such a tight bond already despite just meeting them, I can never understand you, humans.

Aku: No matter, I'll just have to kill you all!!!

Aku turns into a giant snake and strikes the group as their battle rages on Erza is having an intense 1v1 with the Fire King Ozai.

Erza: SOARING FIRE BLADE!!!

Ozai stares the blade down as Erza puts all her strength into re-equipping into a different armor since her flame empress armor isn't helping in much in terms of dealing damage.

Ozai: Your power is quite remarkable, but ultimately won't stop us from our ultimate goal.

Erza: How is it that you all collectively decide to go upon this plan?

Erza: I would imagine that you three aren't the only ones behind this operation.

Ozai: Of course not, this was a plan that's been in the making for quite some time now and a lot is on the line here when it comes to each of our motives which is why we won't fail.

Erza: So what do you gain from capturing these so-called toons?

Ozai: They hold power like no other so capturing them and harnessing their problem is essential to make sure our plans go well.

Erza: So they're really that powerful?

Ozai: They might not seem like it but their power exceeds even that of mine.

Ozai: We have recruited some to our side which will help us secure and exterminate any toon or anyone who tries to get in our way.

Erza: Wait, there's more of them?

Ozai: There is but you haven't heard of them since we've been capturing them so swiftly thanks to our allies however some have escaped or are just appearing due to some error in our portals.

Erza: What do you plan to do with them after you successfully transfer their power to you?

Ozai: There'll be no need for them anymore so they'll be executed.

Erza: Bold words from someone who thinks simply transferring one's power no matter who it is will be that easy.

Ozai: While we haven't yet gotten a successful power transfer, we have other ways to make sure they don't get in our way.

Ozai: In fact, let me show you what I mean.

Ozai shoots a giant fireball towards a magic mobile nearby from the groups of wizards that came earlier and outburst out a savage beast with brown fur and a crazy look in his eyes.

Aku: Looks like Ozai decided to bring out the big guns.

Lucy: Huh?

Aku: Yup you guys are dead now.

As the Warner siblings make their way back to the main group they stop dead in their tracks when they see a familiar face.

Yakko: Hey Natsu have you defeated that dragon wannabe yet?

Yakko: Wait, is that....

Yakko, Wakko, and Dot: TAZ?!?!?!?

Taz: RAAAAAA!!!!!

Wendy: Lookout!!!

TAZ jumps out of the fire and heads straight to the Warner siblings.

Yakko: Taz long time no see bud how you been?

Dot: Wait Yakko get out of the way!!!!!

Yakko: Relax sis it's just Taz he's naturally crazy and savage-looking it's his whole thing.

Yakko: I'm sure he's just.....

The savage Taz twists his body and turns himself into a living tornado that directly hits Yakko which sends him flying.

Wakko and Dot: YAKKO!!!!!

They quickly go after him and find him in total shock as he wipes his nose and finds blood dripping from it. With this revelation, Yakko states the following......

Yakko: Sibs we got to go now.....

Yakko: You hear that Natsu we need to run while we still can.

As this once laid-back and witty toon suddenly gets a taste of true fear he feels uncertain if they'll be able to run away in time as Natsu and Wendy pick up Taz's strange smell and realize there's more to this situation than they originally thought.

Authors Notes; At last, it is revealed who these three henchmen are and I bet you know actually who I'm talking about. Honestly, I was very nervous to include them in the story because I haven't written for them at all before and this would be the first time I try writing some dialogue for them. Although I double-checked with a good friend of mine to see how good of a job I did in writing them and he gave it his seal of approval and now where here. Will this spell doom for the Warners or will they find a solution to this problem like they always do? Find out in the next chapter. As always make sure you follow me and don't forget to let me know what you think of my story so far. Hearing you all's thoughts on your enjoyment of my story helps me figure out what is working and what I have to work on more so doing so would help me a lot. Thanks for checking this out and until next time.

Only Traitors Consort With The Damned. (Part Two.)

The Lost Boys x reader

Warnings: blood imagery, injury, mention of death.

Context: The reader helps out Paul with his little problem, and tries to figure out what another Hunter is doing in Santa Carla.

A/N: I know there has been quite a gap between this and the last part, but I think I'm gonna try and get a new part out every Sunday, so that I have time for requests, school work and other fics. I apologise if this is a bit short 💛💛

Masterlist.

Yet another strangled whine of pain escapes the shirtless vampire propped against the fountain before me, his slick blood already coating my hands generously after only five minutes of working the barbed splinters of wood from his muscular abdomen, the tweezers slipping in my grasp as I pull at one of the more deeply lodged pieces. Dimly, I am aware of the others watching me work, Marko biting his thumb so hard the skin has probaby broken by now, Dwayne silently eyeing my every move from his position beside David, whose face is etched with anger and frustration. Thankfully, I'm pretty sure there aren't that many left, maybe one or two, meaning that the vampire's discomfort should soon be over, something which I can tell will be gratefully appreciated.

Finally, the splinter I'm working at comes free, drawing yet another hiss of pain from Paul, whose head falls back against the fountain with a thud, blue eyes squeezed tightly shut as the wound starts to stitch itself closed, his natural healing ability kicking in pretty quickly. I drop the piece if wood on the floor beside me and wipe the tweezers clean on my shirt, seeing as it is already covered in blood, trying to pat away some of the crimson substance from the vampire's skin as I go, locating the next couple of places I need to pick clean. Biting my lip, I place a hand beside the wound and use two fingers to gently pry it apart, inserting the tweezers as I find the end of the splinter, clamping down on it even as Paul moans again, blood oozing out of the incision as I start to pull. This one eases out pretty smoothly, leaving only one more that needs removing, one which is right beside where his heart is.

"One more." I reassure him, cleaning the tweezers again before leaning forwards and inserting them into the hole in his skin, trying not to prod around too much as I search for the offending splinter, swiftly locating it and going to try and pull it out. Instantly, the tweezers slip off, the small piece of wooden shrapnel barbed and stuck in the flesh, meaning it'll be much harder to remove. Gritting my teeth, I carefully pull the hole open further, trying not to wince as Paul's hand instinctively comes up to grip my wrist, nearly crushing the bones there as he tries to get me to stop, his grasp only tightening as I finally manage to yank it free, one last cry of agony escaping him as he relaxes back against the fountain, nearly sobbing in relief. Sitting back on my heels, I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding, shaking my hair from my face as I wipe my hands on my shirt, slowly standing up from my kneeling position.

"All done, they should heal now." I say to him, turning to the others with a grim smile, knowing that my appearance is not the most impressive, what with my hands being covered in blood and all.

"Thank you, (Y/n). I don't honestly know what we would've done." Dwayne thanks me, smiling gratefully to me as he goes to help Paul up, Marlo going to aid him in that as the tall vampire continues to whine to himself.

"I don't know, pulling splinters out with tweezers is not the most technical thing in the world, is it?" I point out, watching as they help Paul to his feet and over to a sofa, where they give him back his shirt and jacket.

"No, but still. You didn't need to help us, so thank you." David speaks up, looking at me in earnest as he adjusts his gloves, body still tense.

"It's no problem, just don't tell my boss." I reply, grimacing at the last part, being able to imagine his face if he found out already.

"We won't." The platinum blonde smirks, lifting an eyebrow at me, well aware that what I'm doing could get me hunted to my death if I was ever caught.

Smiling at him, I look to the entrance of the cave, noting the lightness of the sky outside with a sigh, knowing I'll have to return home now, so I can deal with the Hunter tied to my floor. The vampires seem to realise this, too, all of them quickly saying goodbye as I make my excuses, leaving the cave with the tweezers slipped into my pocket, my jacket pulled tightly around me as I start the long walk home, thinking up a story to tell the man in question. It shouldn't be too hard - I can make something up about him being attacked, and then found by me a little while later, somehow left alive by the vampire. I iron out all the details as I trek through the forest, enjoying the slightly cooler temperature of the early morning, glad now that I live in a more natural area, rather than the lousy motel I was required to stay in before. With my head in the clouds, it doesn't take me as long as I thought it would to reach the ramshackle shed, the sounds of someone calling out from inside already audible from my position behind the tree line to its left. The Hunter must be awake.

Sighing, I go over to the door and unlock it, swiftly finding the Hunter on the floor when I've done so, his rugged face twisted into a scowl of annoyance, only for it to turn into an expression of confusion as he takes in my appearance, his legs pulled up to his chest in a defensive gesture, ready to kick out at me if I provoke him to do so.

"Thank God you're awake! I thought you might've passed in your sleep!" I sigh out, starting the charade immediately, smiling at him as I close the door behind me, making sure to show him the insignia on my shoulder as I turn.

"Who are you? How did I get here? And why the hell am I chained to the floor?" He growls out, clearly not too pleased with the situation. I frown at his reaction, as if annoyed that he's rejecting my "hospitality".

"I'm (Y/n), an SRS Hunter like you, and I dragged you here after you got attacked by vampires in the dunes. You're chained to the floor because I don't trust you not to steal from me and then run off." I inform him, going to the table and replacing the tweezers, "Now, you'd better not prove to be like that anyway, or I'll report you to a superior officer, and we all know how that will end. You should be thanking me, I saved your life after all."

At this, he looks up at me in surprise, sitting forwards slightly as I bend to untie him, rubbing his wrists gently as he climbs back to his feet, revealing his height to me - he stands a good head above me. Smiling tightly, I offer him my hand, only to realise it's covered in blood, swiftly withdrawing it with a soft apology.

"Why are you so...bloodied?" The Hunter asks me, watching as I go to the bucket of water in the corner, rinsing my hands and arms in the icy depths, "I'm Archer, by the way."

"I spent the rest of the night chasing down your attackers. I got them in the end, but they put up one hell of a fight." I explain, lying through my teeth as I straighten again, drying my hands on a cloth nearby, "Do you mind just stepping out as I change?"

With a nod, he leaves the shack, going to stand outside as I hastily remove my filthy shirt and trousers, replacing them with clean ones as I grab my jacket again, inspecting the damage, noting that it isn't too bad overall. Relacing my boots back up, I take a cereal bar from the small cupboard in the corner and go out to see if Archer is still there, glad to find him sitting on the log outside. As I exit, he looks over to me, watching as I walk over to where he is, smiling and thanking me as he accepts the cereal bar from me, carefully unwrapping it and eating it.

"So tell me, why did you come to Santa Carla?" I break the silence, looking over at him as he shrugs.

"I was told to by one of the superiors, someone called Elijah, I think. He said he wanted someone to come and check on the Hunter over here." He chews his food before continuing, "At least now I know who that Hunter is."

"Yeah, I guess." I muse, troubled by his words. Elijah is an old friend, I never knew he'd become a superior whilst I was away. But the fact that he wants to check on me? That doesn't bode too well for me.

"I just got a bit caught up with some vampires that were on that attraction thing, the Broadwalk or something." Archer says, finishing up the food.

"The Boardwalk." I correct him, smirking a bit at his attitude, finding him quite pleasant to be around, "You think you're gonna stay?"

"Nah, I don't like it here. It's too small and weird for me. I'll go back to New Orleans and say you're doing fine, I reckon they'll be ok with that." He assures me, looking around at the surroundings.

"Yeah, I'm sure. Do you want me to show you back into town?" I offer, eating my own cereal bar quickly, standing and going to the door of the shack, closing it and drawing the chain across in order to lock it.

"Yeah, that'd be great, thanks."

Smiling, I gesture for him to follow me, leading him the quickest way possible back into town, glad that he's not looking into my residence too much.

A week passes before I receive the one thing I've been dreading, Archer's recount of events apparently not quite satisfactory.

A letter from the SRS, announcing the date of a visit from a senior officer, the situation here apparently needing assessment. When I find this, I try my best not to panic too much, knowing full well that I'm at risk of being found out.

Part Three.
