Savior of lost hope AU.

->chapter 5. End.

Cw: mentions of stabbing, needles,violence and guns.

Summary: after hearing the warning of his shadow form, Lucas realizes he has little time to save his best friend and those he loves.

--Hey Rose! Im getting groceries-- Said Jerico, grabbing her Wallet.

--Kay! Be carefull kid-- said rosemary, checking to see if the solution she was working on was actually being processed by the machine.-- the serum should be done when you come back

She doesnt see jeri enter the room where the rest were,unconcious-- are you sure that Will work?

-- 99.99% sure!-- she replied.

The 00.01% that it didnt work wasnt much per se but it didnt calm jeri. When Rose turns to take a break, she sees Jerico wearing Lucas' lucky flannel. Its deep green and it smells like him.-- look I know this looks weird- I miss him okay? Its been like three days now

Rosemary smiles and shakes her head-- I dont care, im sure he would want you to have it. You look good

--Thanks-- she says meekly, shoving her hands on the pocket of the flannel, that hung Open, showing off a yellow tube top-- im gonna go now

--Go, then-- Rose leaned back and closed her eyes.

--Will do! Bye rose!-- she walks out of the cabin,leaving the scientist alone.

The chill in the air bites at her skin, leaves fall on the ground Gently with the breeze. She underestimated just how cold it was. She holds on to the flannel and sighs.

"How long Will they take to get back?" She thinks,her feet dragging across the beaten path towards the actual town. "I hope hes okay"

Once at the supermaket, she goes through the list Rose gave her. She puts the things in the shopping Cart, humming along to a l

Mindless tune. Distracted and in her own little world, its nice.

As she continues her little sidequest, her hands dig into the pocket to pull out the list again, and she notices that theres another piece of paper on one of the pockets.

Its crumpled, and it looks like a scrap piece of paper but she unfolds it just in case. Theres a short letter written there, and she recognizes the handwriting, its Lucas'.

Jerico hesitates for a moment,should she read it?was this intruding?

Curiosity picked at the back of her mind. So,with a sigh she goes somewhere quiet in the supermaket before Reading it.

"The doc always said its good to Keep a Journal of sorts,write down whats bothering you to help you Express it or 'get it out'.

Well, this is my attempt.

I met a girl the other day, she was- just so pretty, she was also very funny and sweet.

She had these big green eyes (my favorite color) and such a bright smile.

It slipped past me to ask her for a number or an email, damn my brain.

I,of course, was so awkward. Like Jesus fucking christ,Lucas cole. When was the last time I spoke to a woman?

Thank GOD she found it endearing, I dont know what I wouldve done if she looked at me weird.

But I dont think shes into me, I mean I have my looks yes but c'mon, would she really go out with me?

Christ, that sounds so cheesy. What am I, a highschooler?

Fuck this note. Im throwing it away".

Jeri giggled,her cheeks dusted pink. She folds the note carefully and puts it back in the pocket. -- dont worry Lucas, im so into you-- she murmurs before resuming what she was doing.

After dropping off the groceries, she goes by the lighthouse to check in on zoe, Allens adoptive sister. She knocks on the door as the Sky starts to cloud, the greyish light makes the world seem a little dull.

--Oh, jer. Hi-- Said Zoe,opening the door of Allen's house.

--Hey Z, how are you?

--Im uh...okay-- she replied-- just a lil paranoid.

-- did something happen?

Zoe looks around, a little afraid-- I think im seeing men in suits around- like the ones Allen saw. I think they are looking for him.

--Oh crap-- she murmurs-- wanna come over to the cabin im babysitting?

--Allen told me about the cabin yeah. He actually knows the owner I think. Lucas is it?

Jeri smiles-- yeup. Lucas

Zoe nodds-- ill - ill go get some stuff

She waits for a few minutes until her friend is done. The shore Ebbs and flows, seagulls fly past the lighthouse and out of view in the greying Sky, the wind picks up a little.

Jerico cant help but get her eyes lost on the sea, coming and going from the shore, its peacefull. Honestly,things have been a little boring, shes been doing university assigments while she waits with rosemary, on some days she sits by Lucas and just draws him, maybe its a little creepy but she meant well.

--There,all set-- Says zoe, gripping her fluffy dark blue jacket.

--Is that Allens?--Jeri asked as both walked-- I mean you have pretty similar styles but I think it looks like it fits Allen more

The other woman shrugs--We share it. But It smells like him-- both walk back to the cabin in quiet, comfortable chatter.

Meanwhile, rosemary finishes with the solution. She puts the four vials on a stand, away from the sun, she sips from her coffee and looks at the radio equipment. -- How Much of this shit do you have, cole?-- she asks to herself.

Then she hears steps, but she pays them no mind-- hey kid! Did you bring zoe along?

Crash! Comes down the wooden door, before rosemary can do anything theres at least four guys with guns come over. She barely has any time to throw one of the spare hand held radios out a nearby Window,she hoping to god it doesnt break.

--Doctor Rosemary James-- Say one of the men, tall and muscly, Brown hair and eyes hid behind thick framed sunglasses.

--Seargeant Mark White. -- she growls out, rsching for the main radio, and trying her best turn it off by flipping the on/off button without being noticed. Thankfully, she isnt noticed.

-- Thought we Killed you

--Yeah well, I got better-- she raises her hands.

--It was that hippie wasnt it? He saved your ass and helped Max escape from where we had him

--Guilty-- she replied with a smirk-- youre going to kill me now?

Mark chuckled-- im going to do something worse, im going to wait until your little troop wakes up and take 'em to a lab. You mightve found a way to explore people's subconcious.

--Using my research without credit? Typical of you mayer cunts-- she bit back.

--If it aint broke...-- Mark snarked-- now stay very still -- he takes her cup of coffee and drinks it-- hm,not bad

Rosemary wished that coffee had cyanide in it. She sits back with her hands up and growls a sigh, now they were in big fucking trouble.

--You know...-- she grinned-- for working on a pharmaceutical company you sure dont like needless

The seargeant tenses-- Rosemary...-- he warns.

--What is it? The pain or the sight of the needle in your arm?-- she leaned with malice.

--Stop that right now!-- he yelled,body stiff and hands Clammy.

--fucking idiot-- she whispers-- ill kill you with a needle one of these days.

Jerico and zoe come across some suspicious looking vehicles. -- Military vehicles -- jeri says.

--Howd you know?

-- Well..I always loved military stuff. After my date with Lucas I took an even bigger interest in it. But what the hell are they doing here? -- she asks-- I think its better if we go behind the cabin. I dont trust it

--A-Alright--zoe replied,following her friend alone as both sneak around the cabin, squatting down past any and all Windows.

They come across the radio on the floor, jeri sighs and slowly picks it up, walking back to the forest and out of sight with Z.

-- Do you see anything?-- jerico asked at Zoe, who had binoculars, originally she was supposed to use them for bird watching, not looking for goverment agents.

--Uh..yeah-- zoe replied,not too enthusiastically-- I see four guys, one of them is talking to a woman with glasses

--Rosemary -- the other woman whispered-- oh god of course,thats why the radio was where it was...

Jer turns on the radio, fiddling with the turning until she finds the frequency they were using to communicate with the Group in desmonds head.

--Radioman! Radioman do you read?!-- Came the voice from Lucas' radio, he sighs in relief.

--Ten-four Sunflower. Whats your stat?!-- he asked.

--Safe, outside the cabin. Four men are in though, they have rosemary

"Oh shit oh crap oh shit" he thinks-- Sunflower is this frequency compromised?

--Negative. Z tells me the main radio equipment is Turned off.

--Oh thank god-- Lucas exclaimed,before becoming extremely serious-- jerico, you need to hear me. Stay out of the cabin and out of sight. Do not engage.

--But Rose-- she protested.

--Rose- Angel has this covered im sure, you two need to stay safe,Mayer does not fuck around with things like this. We barely survived retriving Max from where he was locked up. Do not engage, you heard me?--She hesistates, she doesnt reply-- Sierra-Foxtrot, you hear me?

She sighs-- ten-four. Over and out

The line cuts and Lucas has to trie his best not to blow his lid off. --Goddamn motherfuckers! They have rosemary! Those mayer cunts! -- he kicks the round table at the centre of the room.

--Woah easy!-- says Allen, holding back Lucas-- we gotta concentrate on this okay? We get desmond out of here and we can help the others

The ex soldier breathes in deep, trying to calm himself before he breaks something. -- yer right, lets get this damn thing over with

The four of them walk back to the Office, bracing for the worst. That ink demon Agent Rainbow wont like this at all, too bad.

Once at the Office, Lucas steps infront of the Group and calls out-- Desmond! Where are ya buddy?

Wings flap heavily, desmond comes from behind one of the bookshelves-- oh Lucas,hello everyone. Did you make yourselves at home?-- he lands on the floor silently, he clasps his arms behind his back.

--Something like that-- the ex soldier replied-- we uh...found something, virge?

Virginia nodds and approaches desmond,showing Him the magenta key. They see a long magenta chain come from his right wrist up to the ceiling where it gets lost in the mild darkness.

--I think we can set you free with this! -- she squealed.

They see their therapist hesistate, but Tonia nuzzles his hand where the chain comes from and purrs.

--Will it hurt?-- is all he asks while approaching her.

--Ill try for it not to-- she replied as he offered his hand. The shackle starts at his wrist, it looks heavy-- alright...here it goes-- she slides the key into the keyhole and turns.

The shackle opens with a soft click and falls to the ground,shattering like glass-- I dont feel any dif-- desmond says before the eyes in his mask go wide, he stumbles and barely catches himself.

"Virginia Ruhl, 25. My patient...but- she died didnt she?" Memories come flowing to him,his sessions with her, her diagnosis.

--You were supposed to be dead-- he starts, grabbing her hands-- but how- why?

Virginia smiles-- I got rushed into the hospital and survived by the skin of my teeth. Im better now,see?-- she lowers her turtleneck where a big scar spanned across her neck.-- did it hurt?

Desmond shakes his head and takes a Seat on his desk, his wings fold and rest on the surface of the desk.-- Do you want to Keep going?-- asked Allen, key in hand.

--Alright-- says the other Man, seeing the Next shackle on the same arm the previous was on. But this New one, a deep blue, grips his bicep.

Allen Is carefull through the whole process, humming softly to try and calm his friend. The shackle falls and melts like wax under the sun.

Desmond braces himself for the memories that come flooding like a feral tide. "Allen shore- 33. He was comatose-- burnt"

--The Fire-- he says-- are you okay?

Allen shrugs with a smile-- Im fine doc, just some scars. I made a full recovery-- he shakes off his jacket and shows his scarred arm.-- kinda knargly but kinda cool.

The therapist chuckles-- Hmm, I agree.

Max feels unconfortable as it was his turn, he walks awkwardly towards the Man and takes his wrist-- uh hi doc

-- Hello Max-- he sounds very warm and happy to see him.

The shackle is an angry red, warm to the touch. Hes not very gentle but efficent, he unlocks the shackle that burns off and hits the desk but it doesnt hurt anybody.

Once again,the memories come "Max nygaard. 40s. He dissapeared- didnt he?"

--You didnt come to our last appointment-- desmond recalls.

Max sighs,scratching the back of his neck-- mayer locked me up, the hippie- Lucas broke me out with rosemary

--No scar to show for it?-- des Joked which defuses the tension a little.

--sadly, no-- he admits with a chuckle.

Then,comes Lucas who looks very on edge and anxious, desmond looks at him-- dont worry doc -- he lies-- just anxious thats all

The other Man doesnt Belive him but makes no complaints as the last shackle,a forest green, is unlocked. Its gone in a flash of light.

"Lucas Cole, 55. Ex soldier"

--What has you so nervous, Lucas?--Asked desmond.

--We gotta get you out of here, Rosemary is in danger and--He looks away.

--You can tell me anything,lucas-- Des reminded him Gently.

The ex soldier sighs audibly-- Jerico might be in danger... please try and make an effort doc. I couldndt forgive myself if anything happened to her...or Rose

Desmond looks confused-- did I miss something?

Lucas goes beet red --I took her out on a date- I have a crush on her

--Thats wonderfull. Lucas-- says the other Man.-- ill try my best for you two

--Well..I think its time for your key,doc--Says Allen-- where can it be?

They hear a crash as tonia knocks down the record player and a white key comes falling from it. The cat carries it to her owner and drops it on his lap.

--Can you do it?-- Asks Lucas.

--I-I think so

Desmond grips the key tight, around his neck is a Pristine white shackle, and with shaky hands he unlocks it. The shackle seems to break by bits, each peice falling like a feather Being shed by a bird,when the "feathers" lake contact with anything they burn and turn black,to then become dust that blows away without any breeze.

And so,the memories flod in, he remembers who he is,how he got here,the struggles and battles he had, the grief of what happened to tonia, how his wife had left him.

For a moment it overwhelms him, tears fall down his masked face. The eyes on the mask turn grey.

Virginia goes to hug desmond, but notices theres a clasp on the mask. She Gently unclasps it and sets it on the desk.

His face is just as they all remember, but stained with rainbow colored oil. Virginia hugs him as his tears wash away the stains which seem to fade out of existence.

Allen comes Next and hugs him tight, cooing and trying to calm him down. He also watches as tonia takes the white key from her owner,she opens a cabinet on the desk and she pulls it back with her snout.

--Here,doc-- said Lucas, as he grabs his iconic round glasses and hands it over.

The embrace gets broken as with a shaky sigh, desmond graba them and puts it on.

--Looking good!-- Complimented Virginia with a smile,patting her back.

Lucas nodds in agreement-- not to be insensible,doc. But do you remember how you got here? Is there anyway to get out?

--Well...-- Des starts,trying to regain his composture-- I was battling with my shadow, then-- I thought I won but my Real body was so weak I had enough strength to Keep me alive, not even fully awake. I guess at some point he-- he got a hold on me and I was so weak I couldnt fight back

Its obvious its a struggle for him to talk, his voice breaks, he stumbles over his words and his body shakes. Virginia tries to sooth him by stroking his back and encouraging him to talk.

--As to how to get out...--A gravelly voice comes from behind desmond. The great library behind the desk goes pitch black, two red eyes appear in the darkness-- theres no way out...I doubt Desmond has any strength to battle me...too bad.

Allen grips his fists and for the first time everyone sees just how angry he could get. He grabs the mask and chucks it at one of the eyes-- You GODDAMN asshole! Leave that Man alone! Hes the greatest Man ive met! Hes kind and good hearted! You have nothing on him!

The mask hits one of the eyes and the voice growls a painfull screech. Then out of the darkness two goopy hands Grab the side of a materializing face of agent rainbow. The hands hold him back as he tries to attack Allen.

--What the hell-- said agent rainbow-- How did you- youre his shadow ,dimwit! You shouldnt help him!  kill him!

Allen sees for a sliver of a moment as his shadow form simply smiles at his counterpart. Virginia seems to catch on and she steps in-- Yeah! Allen is right! Desmond has always tried his best to help us all! He didnt fail! Hes tried to help everyone! Its about time somebody helps him.

Another set of hands come from the other side of the face, purple and glimmering like broken glass, lines span across the clawy fingers and arms. Forcing Open one of Agent Rainbow's eyes.

Then,comes Max,who steps infront of his two companions and his therapist-- If theres something I know from the doc here is that he was able to help even with the toughest of cases! You May think of yourself all high n mighty! But youre not! Youre just another goverment Spook!

Fiery hands Open the other eye, they hear the rumbling of an engine. Max feels very proud of himself.

And then,theres Lucas.

With rage in his eyes, losing his calm and collected cover, he stands by Max with anger in his eyes, grief is in his heart as he remembers all the things hes lost, his best friend, himself. And then comes the happiness, New Friends, a New home and someone to love.

--desmond Will never be alone,hes one of us-- he makes a pause-- I  think its time you see what shadow you cast!-- he yells.

His own shadow grows and grows to be at eye level with Agent Rainbow. And from the centre of the head theres a Giant light that burns right into the red eyes, desmond's shadow form screams in agony,shattering the Windows.

In a flash of bright white light their enemy is gone, now Turned into feathers that are blown away with the wind.

Desmond hisses as his own wings burn off, he was back to normal.

And where Agent Rainbow was, the bookshelves turn into a Giant door with warm sunlight coming from it.

Tonia purrs as she returns to a normal sized cat. She jumps on desmonds lap and he pets her--Ill miss you,old friend.

But noticing how nervous Lucas was, he sets the cat down and they all walk to the door, led by tonia,of course.

--They do say cats were protectors-- Virginia Recalled with a smile. The cat seems to agree as it nodds and purrs.

They let desmond go into the door first, and then,they follow suit.

Meanwhile....

Jerico gasps as Mark slaps rosemary across the face, she hears him yell something about what the serum was for.

--Shit! The serum!.-- she gasps,trying to turn on the radio-- Radioman! This is sunflower. Whats your situation.--Theres a brief silence, and then garbled words--Lucas! I cant hear you!

--Savior acquired. I repeat Delta Whiskey acquired-- require- eVac--

--oh shit oh shit--She murmurs.-- we gotta wake em up

Zoe looks at the binoculars-- one of the guys is coming this way...

Jeri looks up and sees it-- he has no helmet...if I can hit him with a rock we can take him out.-- her eyes look around for any big rock. It takes her a few seconds to find one-- alright then... please please PLEASE I hope Lucas aim rubbed off on me.

She takes a deep shaky breath and chucks it at the suit before zoe can say anything. The rock flies like a missile and hits the soldier square in the forehead. He falls with a quiet thud that was probably drowned by marks screaming at rosemary.

--jesus!--zoe exclaims-- a heads up???

--Sorry...-- she says meekly-- lets see what he has-- she offers-- we cant leave rosemary there

--But Lucas said-- she starts.

--I know. Hes not gonna like it-- her eyes turn to see rosemary grabbing the serum and being forced to wake up the others. Mark screams something about how rosemary Turned off the main radio-- shit- I think they heard Lucas' evac request-- she turns to her friend-- you can stay but im going

Zoe looks at her friend and shakes her head, mustering all the courage she had-- Allens in there! If Allen went to save those in SS thanatos then I can help him!

--Atta girl--jerico says, And both sneak to the unconcious soldier. She grabs his combat Knife, its heavy and sharp.

--What about the gun?-- zoe asked.

-- you know how to Fire em?

--No clue,you?

She shakes his head-- throw it away, just in case he wakes up.

Z looks at the purple bruise in the guys forehead-- right between the eyes, I dont think hes waking up for a while-- still, she carefully grabs the gun and throws it away

Both sneak near the cabin, anotjer of the guys comes out,probably to check on his buddy. Once hes lut of the cabin, he looks around.

As quiet as she can be, jeri slashes across the back of his knee,making Him fall. Zoe muffled him with her big jacket And holds it until hes passed out.-- sorry!--both mumble.

Then, into the cabin they go. They go down the Hall to where Rose's lab was, the livingroom.

--Looks like the commander dude is outside?--jeri whispers in zoes ear.

--Maybe he doesnt like needles?

--Hurry up rosemary!--Mark yelled, looking at the radio.

--if the needle breaks they die!--Rosemary shouted.

Jerico takes a deep breath, slowly sneaking behind Mark, shes about to stab his back when the Man hears a thud from the room rosemary and the rest of the guys where.

Rosemary first injected the serum to Lucas,who "happened" to be the one closes to her. Then once she had given the serum to almost all of them, she says.

--Hey, can you illuminate here? Youre blocking the light-- she asked

The soldier noticed he was blocking the light, so he pulls out his flashlight and once Rose is done,she stabs the guy with the empty needle,right in the neck. The guy holds his neck and falls back.

The thud makes mark turn and see jerico. He grabs her with ease,disarms her and pulls her to the room with rosemary, she raises her hands with fear in her eyes. Hes about to strike when--

--if ya touch one hair on 'er purdy hair-- Lucas yells, gun in hand. Mark notices its the service weapon of the soldier that rosemary took out. He steps infront of Jerico, hes still a little woozy but his aim was impecable.

Mark steps back as the other Man stares at him with solid,unfiltered rage. -- well played-- he grumbles.

Lucas noticed zoe standing there,frozen-- Kiddo, cuff this fucker

Zoe steps to Mark and grabs his cuffs, doing her best as Rose steps in and unarms the seargeant. Only once Rose knocks Mark out does the ex soldier Lower the gun.

--Did it work?-- Rose asked before hearing desmond grumble and Allen and Max helping Him stand up-- ill go check on him-- she makes eye contact with her radioman friend. She looks serious as if she was urging him to do something.

Lucas only nodds as rosemary runs past him to help desmond. He leaves the gun on a table nearby and before jerico can say anything, he grabs her by the neck of his- her flannel and kisses her with all the strength his body allowed.

She kisses back,tugging at his tanktop and smiling. His arms go around her waist and hers around his neck.

--i told you nothing would hurt you while I was around. Awake or otherwise

Jeri smiles and presses her forehead against his, closing her eyes-- that you did. Welcome back-- he hugs her tight, stroking the shaven back of her neck.

--'m here honey. 'M here-- he whispers as she melts against him. His breath is shaky-- desmonds here too

They turn to the room and see their Friends smiling, then they cheer and Holler at them.

--Thats it hippie!--Max yelled,smugly.

--Thats It!the ship has reached shore!--Allen yelled clapping.

--Love wins! Long live the happy couple-- Virginia hollers.

Rosemary meets the ex soldiers eyes and chuckles-- guess youre right, cole. You never miss a shot

Jerico hid her face on Lucas' chest while he chuckles-- leave the young thing alone, lets make sure the docs alright

For the Next few hours they dispose of the soldiers (meaning they tie them up and throw them on the back of their vehicles for the police to find). Mark would wake up with one note on his chest"try anything and youll see what a war veteran can do. I never miss a shot".

Rosemary and Allen tend to Desmond,Max has left to see maddie and Virginia is talking with zoe,calming her down and telling her what happened.

Lucas takes jerico to the makeshift balcony on his roof. He holds her to his chest in silence, she hugs him like her life depends on it-- stay the night tonight -- he says.

--sounds good-- she agrees.

--I didnt forget about our date-- he reminds her with a smile-- im gonna getcha all the plushies ya want -- he pulls back a little and strokes her cheek.

--I look forward to it-- she admitted. Then she goes quiet and after a bit she adds-- you know theyll come for us,especially since they know Rose made an antidote

Lucas squeezed her-- I know. But were a team now, and we'll take mayer down. No harm Will come to you as Long as im around

She nodds and both enjoy the falling leaves and the breeze. Finally calm settles within them all, and that night they sit and have dinner under the stars.

Zoe and maddie make bracelets with Allen, desmond plays the guitar as Lucas accompanies him with his drums. Max simply looks at his daughter with joy and pride.

Rose has jerico laying her head on her lap-- you did great today -- the scientist said.

--Thanks. I hated it

Both laugh and rosemary adds-- you make Lucas happy, and he makes you happy. You both Will go a long way

-- I hope so. Im afraid of mayer though

Rosemary shrugs-- I think their pride is wounded. I dont think theyll make a move so fast. 'Sides we'll worry about it later -- he sees Lucas waves at her and she adds-- Lucas wants you on the vocals

Jerico nodds and stands up, walking towards Lucas and desmond, grabbing the mic the ex soldier had set up. The music starts and the others look at the source of it.

And so, she starts singing-- Don't look to me, I ain't right

And I don't know enough, but how much do I want to know?

It's perfectly clear, I'm where I should be, yeah

Off the wall and back to reality, dare I say

Oh, my thoughts are burning

And I like how warm the fire can be

Oh, oh is my body turning?

And my legs seem to move without me

Oh, here comes the savior

Who can break these thoughts away from me?

Oh, no more bad behavior

Screw my head on right for a moderate fee

Dragonball Z: Abridged Episode 12 Review

Originally posted August 21st, 2015

Aren’t abridged series supposed to cut filler?

Last episode ended with Bulma leading Krillin and Gohan on a mission to Namek to collect the Dragonballs and use them to resurrect their friends. “A Rose by Any Other Namek” opens right where it left off, with (what I now christen as) Team Bulma in the middle of their spaceflight, passing the time away.

It’s an interesting choice on Team Four Star’s part to pick up here; they easily could have followed along with the original story1 and picked up with Team Bulma’s arrival at Namek, but they chose not to, and I have to question that decision, because it weakens most of the episode.

The issue it brings about is two-fold; first, it works against Team Four Star’s strengths as comedians and storytellers, since they thrive in the fast paced stories of this show, but tend to flounder in the stories that demand they be slow and careful; second, it serves to directly counter the seriousness and urgency they lent to Team Bulma’s mission, as they’re left to meander about in space and encounter aliens with funny accents instead of the epic quest for the Dragonballs we were promised.

Now, the second issue is an issue that I recognize is mostly the fault of the original show, and it’s a problem that tends to apply to most filler, and not just the filler of Dragonball Z. Team Four Star has a choice in what material to cut out and what material to keep in though; the original anime is done, and what is filler and what is not has already been clearly established.

This leads me to a place where I have no choice but to believe that Team Four Star is attempting to say something with their choice to cover this section of filler. And they seem to be saying either that they view it as just as important as the rest of the story, or that they don’t believe that their job as creators of an abridged series is to cut out this filler.

If they view the filler as being that important, then I believe it would have to be because of childhood nostalgia affecting their judgement, but given their willingness to address some of the flaws of the original, I don’t believe that this is the case. If they’re attempting to comment on the nature of abridged series, then I am unsure of what their intended message is, unless it is an attempt to state that their purpose is to retell the story in its entirety, just as a comedy.

There’s also the possibility that they are just trying to subvert our expectations as an audience; we expect the story to move forward quickly, but instead we have to sit through filler, which is an interesting idea, but it doesn’t seem fitting with their other attempts at subversion. They also could be stalling, trying to delay the arrival at Namek for production reasons.

Or, maybe it just was a mistake. Maybe they thought it’d be incredibly funny to tell this story the way they did, and it just didn’t work. Making Fake Planet Namek all seem to be one of Krillin’s nightmares (which in turn was a nightmare for the editor) seems to be a pretty big “gotcha” moment and reveal, but I just don’t find it that funny.

Rating: 3/5

Stray Observations

1Read: The manga and Kai.

Vegeta’s section and the intro were excellent, however. Both were funny, and both were great worldbuilding scenes, establishing just how far reaching Freeza’s power is, without us ever getting to see him.

Krillin is one of the worst judges of character ever.

Dr. Briefs: “Now inject this man with some science. Delicious, magical science.”

The Perfect Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 Mobile Case: Protecting Innovation in Style

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 is a marvel of modern technology, combining the power of a smartphone and the versatility of a tablet into one sleek, foldable device. As one of the most cutting-edge phones on the market, it requires a mobile case that offers both premium protection and sophisticated style. In this blog, we’ll explore why investing in a high-quality Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 mobile case is essential and how the right case can enhance your experience with this innovative device.

1. Why Protection Matters for the Galaxy Z Fold 5

The Galaxy Z Fold 5’s unique foldable screen is a true innovation in mobile technology, but it also requires extra care. With two large displays, a hinge mechanism, and a glass cover, your Z Fold 5 is more vulnerable to drops, scratches, and damage than typical smartphones. The right case will provide:

· Impact Resistance: Protects the device from accidental drops and shocks.

· Scratch Protection: Shields the screen and body from daily wear and tear.

· Hinge Safety: Ensures the delicate hinge remains safe from dirt, dust, and damage.

2. Top Features to Look for in a Galaxy Z Fold 5 Case

When shopping for a mobile case for your Galaxy Z Fold 5, it’s important to look for specific features that cater to this unique phone’s design and functionality:

· Slim Profile: You don’t want to lose the sleekness of the Z Fold 5. A thin, lightweight case ensures protection without adding unnecessary bulk.

· Enhanced Grip: Foldable phones can be slippery, so a case with a textured grip will help prevent accidental drops.

· Full Coverage: Look for cases that cover both the front and back of the device, as well as the hinge, for 360-degree protection.

· Stylish Design: Your Galaxy Z Fold 5 deserves a case that complements its premium aesthetic. Opt for materials like leather, metal, or high-quality plastic for a sophisticated look.

3. Case Types for the Galaxy Z Fold 5

· Slim Cases: Ideal for those who prefer minimalism. Slim cases offer basic protection without sacrificing the phone’s sleek design.

· Folio Cases: These provide extra coverage, often including a flip cover to protect the front display. Some folio cases even double as a wallet, offering card slots for convenience.

· Heavy-Duty Cases: If you’re concerned about serious drops or work in harsh environments, heavy-duty cases with reinforced corners and impact-resistant materials are a smart choice.

· Clear Cases: For those who want to showcase the stunning design of their Galaxy Z Fold 5 while still offering protection, a clear case is a great option.

4. How a Case Enhances Your Foldable Experience

Beyond just protection, the right case can actually enhance your day-to-day use of the Galaxy Z Fold 5. Many cases come with additional features like:

· Kickstands: Perfect for hands-free viewing, especially when using the phone in tablet mode.

DS :: Molly GlassesFitting and Customizing:

Included is a customization HUD. Using the HUD you can change the textures of various parts of the glasses, some transparencies, and resize them.

To resize the glasses, you may optionally click on the pose button (on the HUD) to go into a static pose. There are buttons for resizing in coarse, medium, and fine increments, along with a revert button to return the glasses to their original size. You may also restrict resizing to any or all of the X, Y, and Z axes using those buttons on the HUD.

The glasses are fully modifiable, but please remember to make a copy before editing, just in case something goes wrong.

You can manually set the brightness, glow, and transparency of any part of the glasses. Make sure you select materials using "Select Face" in your editing panel to make sure you are editing the exact part you need.

[Advanced Editing Topic] The eyeglasses arms can be rotated to fit your head better, if you find they are fitting too wide or narrow. For best results, adjust the Z-rotation numerically, in .5 degree increments, rather than using the mouse. NOTE: Set your Edit panel to work in "Local" mode from the pop-up menu to accurately rotate the arms on their hinges.

The Ultimate Guide to Designing a High-Converting UI/UX Landing Page: Tips and Tricks You Can't Ignore

In today's digital landscape, your landing page is often the first point of contact between your brand and potential customers. A well-designed landing page can be the difference between converting a visitor into a lead or losing them to a competitor. This guide will walk you through essential UI/UX design principles and practical tips to create a high-converting landing page that engages visitors and drives conversions.

1. Define Your Goal and Value Proposition

Before diving into design, clearly define your landing page's primary goal. Are you aiming to generate leads, sell a product, or encourage app downloads? Your goal should align with a compelling value proposition that clearly communicates why visitors should take action.

Tips:

- Keep your value proposition concise and prominent

- Use benefit-oriented language that resonates with your target audience

- Ensure your goal and value proposition are consistent throughout the page

2. Craft a Compelling Above-the-Fold Section

The area visible without scrolling, known as "above the fold," is prime real estate. This section should immediately grab attention and convey your core message.

Tips:

- Use a clear, benefit-driven headline

- Include a subheadline that elaborates on your value proposition

- Add a prominent call-to-action (CTA) button

- Incorporate a relevant hero image or video that supports your message

3. Optimize Your Call-to-Action (CTA)

Your CTA is the gateway to conversion. Make it impossible to miss and irresistible to click.

Tips:

- Use action-oriented, specific language (e.g., "Start Your Free Trial" instead of "Submit")

- Make the CTA button stand out with contrasting colors

- Place CTAs strategically throughout the page, especially above the fold and after key information

- A/B test different CTA variations to find what works best

4. Streamline Your Form Design

If your landing page includes a form, optimize it for maximum conversions.

Tips:

- Only ask for essential information to reduce friction

- Use a single-column layout for better readability

- Implement inline form validation to provide immediate feedback

- Consider multi-step forms for longer forms to make them less intimidating

5. Leverage Social Proof

Build trust and credibility by showcasing testimonials, reviews, case studies, or logos of well-known clients.

Tips:

- Use authentic, specific testimonials with real names and photos

- Display numerical evidence of your success (e.g., "Join 10,000+ satisfied customers")

- Incorporate trust badges or certifications relevant to your industry

6. Create a Clear and Logical Information Hierarchy

Guide visitors through your content with a logical flow that anticipates and answers their questions.

Tips:

- Use headers and subheaders to break up content

- Implement a Z-pattern or F-pattern layout to guide the eye

- Use bullet points and short paragraphs for easy scanning

- Ensure the most important information is prominently displayed

7. Optimize for Mobile Devices

With mobile traffic continually increasing, your landing page must provide an excellent experience on all devices.

Tips:

- Use a responsive design that adapts to different screen sizes

- Ensure text is legible without zooming

- Make CTAs and buttons large enough for touch interactions

- Test your page on various devices and browsers

8. Implement Persuasive Visuals

Visual elements can significantly enhance your message and increase engagement.

Tips:

- Use high-quality, relevant images or videos that support your value proposition

- Incorporate icons to illustrate key points or features

- Use directional cues (e.g., arrows or photos of people looking at your CTA) to guide attention

- Ensure visuals are optimized for fast loading times

9. Write Compelling Copy

Your copy should be clear, concise, and persuasive, focusing on benefits rather than features.

Tips:

- Use active voice and power words to create urgency

- Address potential objections or concerns in your copy

- Incorporate storytelling elements to engage emotions

- Use bullet points to highlight key benefits or features

10. Minimize Distractions

Keep visitors focused on your primary goal by eliminating unnecessary elements.

Tips:

- Remove navigation menus to prevent visitors from leaving the page

- Limit the number of links that lead away from the landing page

- Use white space effectively to create a clean, uncluttered design

- Ensure every element on the page serves a purpose in driving conversions

Conclusion

Designing a high-converting landing page is both an art and a science. By focusing on clear communication, user-centered design, and continuous optimization, you can create a landing page that not only looks great but also drives real business results. Remember, the key to success is ongoing testing and refinement. Use these tips as a starting point, but always let data guide your decisions as you work to improve your conversion rates over time.

How to Achieve the Perfect Trouser Fit: Essential Alterations

It's not always the case that the trousers you purchase will fit you exactly the first time around. To be honest, a lot of men who value fit and detail have their trousers altered. To help you look great in well-fitting clothes, we've put up a guide with typical changes a tailor may make to trousers.

There are currently many online tailoring services available if you have a hectic schedule. You can find excellent tailoring services in your neighborhood by doing a simple search for "clothing tailor near me" or "Trouser taper near me." This is a thorough instruction explaining how you can get your pants tailored to suit you exactly.

Basic Trousers Alterations

1. Adjusting the length

Tailors can readily adjust trousers that are too long or too short. The alterations are quite affordable, usually costing between £10 and £20. Some companies provide pants with unfinished hems, allowing you to select your length. Simply define your desired cut, and the tailor will do the rest.

If there is excess fabric, the tailor can fold it beneath the hem, allowing you to show off your socks or have a more substantial break. If you want your trousers reduced or lengthened, your tailor may make the appropriate changes.

2. Waist Adjustments

A tailor can help you adjust the waistline on your jeans. If your pants are too tight around the waist or too loose, causing them to slip down, a tailor may swiftly modify the waist for a better fit and more comfort.

3. Crotch Fit

If the crotch of your pants seems too tight or too loose, consult with your tailor to obtain a comfortable fit. A&Z Tailor and Alterations may adjust the fit to make your trousers comfortable and well-fitted.

4. Adding Suspenders

Suspenders are a fashionable trend that may give the illusion of a smaller waist. You may go for clip-on suspenders for a casual style or have your tailor add suspender buttons for a more professional effect.

5. Shortening the trouser leg

If you desire a narrower design, have your trousers tapered from the knees to the ankles, creating a style comparable to leggings or skinny jeans? Our Trouser alteration Hitchin can make this change if there is enough cloth to work with. However, if there is insufficient material, the result may appear odd and undesirable.

More Complex Trouser Alterations

These changes are more complex than basic tweaks, yet they may be performed without requiring great skill or a large expenditure.

1. Alignment of Creases

The crease in your trousers should run vertically down the middle of the leg, dividing the knee. If the crease does not line correctly, resulting in a disheveled appearance, a tailor can fix and straighten it for a cleaner look.

2. Adding new belt loops or changing the waistband

Although not a typical request, adding more belt loops or changing the waistline is possible provided enough material is available. If you like, you may use suspender buttons instead, which is a less expensive option that compliments a fashionable look while using suspenders.

Conclusion

Choosing the wrong trousers zip replacement tailor for jeans alterations might turn a simple repair into a nightmare. It is critical to conduct extensive research before entrusting someone with even modest changes to your pants. Look for credentials, client reviews, and good ratings in your region to guarantee you get a qualified tailor. A&Z Tailor and Alterations provides dependable male tailoring services with simple free collection and drop-off at your home.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 Review: A Journey from iPhone to Foldable InnovationThe Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 is here, and as someone who has recently switched from being an iPhone devotee to a Samsung enthusiast, my perspective on this device is uniquely positioned. This review won't delve into every technical detail, as plenty of those exist already. Instead, I'll share my experience transitioning from the iPhone to the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra a few months ago and now to the Z Fold 6. This journey from Apple to Samsung has been fascinating, filled with new discoveries and some nostalgia for my old iPhone. So, let's explore the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and see if it has truly won me over.The Switch from iPhone to SamsungBefore diving into the Galaxy Z Fold 6, it's essential to understand my background. I was a dedicated iPhone user, deeply embedded in the Apple ecosystem. My daily life revolved around my Mac, iPad, and Apple Watch. Transitioning to Samsung wasn't just about changing phones; it was about adjusting to a new ecosystem. The S24 Ultra was my gateway into this world, and now, with the Z Fold 6, I am fully immersed.Sponsored by Banks: Protecting Your FoldableBefore we dive into the nitty-gritty of the Z Fold 6, a quick word from our sponsor, Banks. They offer a range of cases and accessories designed to protect and enhance the Z Fold 6. I have two cases from Banks: the Aurora Armor Air Case and the Montage Armor Air Case.Aurora Armor Air Case: This case is crafted from 600D Kevlar fiber, providing a sleek, minimalist design that is 0.7 mm thin and lightweight. It feels smooth in the hand and offers raised lens protection, adding a sophisticated look to the Z Fold 6.Montage Armor Air Case: Made from a blend of 600D and 1500D Kevlar fiber, this case also protects the hinge. It's lightweight, thin, and provides a comfortable grip, ensuring your phone is safe without adding bulk.Neither case covers the front of the Z Fold 6, which is a plus. Front-covering cases often interfere with screen protectors and reduce the viewing area. Banks also offers a screen protector and lens protectors, ensuring comprehensive protection for your device.Specs and Design: How Far We've ComeThe Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 boasts impressive specs that highlight how far we've come from the Z Fold 5:Processor: Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy (customized for Samsung)RAM: 12 GBWeight: 14 grams lighter than the Z Fold 5Displays: Cover display is 1 mm wider; internal display is 2.7 mm widerBezels and Hinge: Smaller bezels and a thinner hingeBrightness: 2,600 nits (up from 1,750 nits in the Z Fold 5)Colors: Silver Shadow, Pink, Navy, Black, and White (Black and White are online exclusives)Battery: Same size as the Z Fold 5, but with two extra hours of video playbackCamera: Slightly tweaked system with a 50-megapixel main cameraThe Z Fold 6 is available in 256 GB, 512 GB, and 1 TB versions, priced at £1,799, £1,899, and £2,099, respectively. Despite its high cost, the Z Fold 6 promises a premium experience.The Foldable Experience: Crease and FlatnessOne common concern with foldable phones is the crease. While it's still present in the Z Fold 6, it's less visible than in previous models. In normal use, without harsh lighting, the crease is barely noticeable. The Z Fold 6 also opens flatter than its predecessors, enhancing the overall user experience.Camera System: A Mixed BagThe camera system on the Z Fold 6 is good but not flagship-worthy. While the 50-megapixel main camera and wide-angle lens produce beautiful photos with vibrant colors, the lack of a 5x or 10x optical zoom is a drawback for content creators. The zoom capabilities of the Z Fold 6 are not on par with the iPhone 15 Pro Max or the S24 Ultra, which is a significant limitation for those who rely on their phones for photography and videography.Battery Life: Adequate but Not ExceptionalBattery life on the Z Fold 6 is decent, but it doesn't match the S24 Ultra or the iPhone. While it can last a day and a bit, it doesn't provide the two-day battery life that some flagship models offer.

For heavy users, this might be a concern.Display: Bright and ProductiveThe internal and cover displays on the Z Fold 6 are significantly brighter than those on the Z Fold 5, making them more usable in bright sunlight. The cover display, now 1 mm wider with smaller bezels, is more practical than I initially thought. It's great for one-handed use, especially when multitasking.Productivity PowerhouseOne of the standout features of the Z Fold 6 is its large internal display, which excels in productivity tasks. Whether it's emailing, working in Notion, managing social media, or browsing the web, the expansive screen offers a great experience. Samsung's software optimizations for the foldable display enhance usability, making multitasking a breeze.AI Features: Useful but Not EssentialSamsung has integrated Galaxy AI features from the S24 series into the Z Fold 6, leveraging the large internal display. These features include smart search, translation, and note assistance. While they are clever and occasionally useful, they don't significantly enhance the core smartphone experience. The fundamental aspects like camera quality, display brightness, and battery life remain more critical.Conclusion: Is the Z Fold 6 Worth It?If you own a Z Fold 5, upgrading to the Z Fold 6 might not be necessary. The improvements are more refinements than revolutionary changes. However, if you're new to foldable phones or looking to switch from another device, the Z Fold 6 offers a compelling experience. It combines a premium design, excellent display, and solid performance.The camera system, while good, may not satisfy those who need advanced zoom capabilities. Battery life is adequate, but not exceptional. Despite these minor drawbacks, the Z Fold 6 feels like a premium device, justifying its high price tag.Gadget Kings PRS: Your Go-To for Phone RepairsIf you own a Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 or any other smartphone and need repairs, Gadget Kings PRS is your best option.
