 Krait212 2005-03-03 . chapter 1 Expertly done, as always; Aptom always was one of the better characters in the series, and you have done a wonderful job of filling in the backstory of the titanic battle which ended the Resistance and gave Chronos dominion. I especially liked how you detailed every character and how they met their fate-- it seemed very realistic by the way that Makashima would do something so harebrained as kill Sho and then go off to get himself butchered; NICE!! The bits with Tetsuro and Mizuki were a wonderful touch; it's nice to see that they become something useful in the end besides just things to get Sho and Agito in Dutch with Chronos. And while the ending was elliptically phrased a bit too much, and canon experts may raise hell about it, the capoff was an astounding tour de force move (which doesn't make sense at first, then does if you think about it); this little snippet is begging for a sequel, which maybe elaborates a little more on the specific instances. For example, the one where Murakami and Gyro snuffed each other (thus preventing him from becoming the odiously evil Imakarum). Or later, when Aptom shows up even more obnoxious to Alkanphel as a Lost Unit Guyver. We must trade emails some time and talk series turkey; my doors always open. Keep up the good work, and ciao! |
