IM SO SORRY IT TOOK ME SO LONG TO REVIEW! you must think I'm the worst reader EVER! :) ... I absolutely love Nikki! I was so excited to read about her! *hug/squeeze* this chapter made my boring homeworkish day! is that why 'Will' is so negative on relationships, because she watches Degrassi? she needs to invest in some new shows :) .Again, I hope you didnt think I fell off the face of the earth or forgot about this... because I didnt! I was just away in Canada for most of the summer, and I came back and started band & college. but this is one of my favorite stories. and the recap was definitely helpful! if Nikki gives you too much trouble, just threaten to kill her off in the next chapter ;D

Yes! Finally I catch up ;)!
*rolls eyes* You know, I'd hoped not to see or hear the word Degrassi again :P
Anyway, that aside, do we get another chapter? Please?!

~V~

Yes, nearly caught up! Susan & Blunk...okay that idea is just thoroughly wrong! Hmm..Tamora Pierce, great author:D.

I like (well as much as you can with a character like that) Bel. I think she reminds me of a couple of characters in some books I've read (by Simon R Green, brilliant author who does the sarcastic and dark fantasy stuff really well).

Anyhow, well done with the great writing :)!
~V~

I am loving your story. it is so imaginative.

Wh00t! Dark indeed :D!
Will/Phobos hmm, don't read, but it could be understood. Sort of reminds me of Disney's (well I haven't read the book :S) Hunchback of Notre Dame & Frollo's feelings for Esmeralda.

Hmm, not sure what I thought of this chapter. I liked it & it clearly affects events in later chapters, but I don't think it's one of my 'favourites'. Maybe not enough humour to balance out the angst? Not that it's going to stop me from reading the rest! But I am going to take a break now, it's past midnight ;)!

* That was a good chapter :D! *Long pause as V tries to work out what to say*

I thought you didn't like slash :P. But the reasons you gave in the AN follows the reasons I read Will/Irma. That aside, even if I didn't, you explained her thoughts, feelings and concerns realistically, that I might believe it anyway! In some ways, it works better than fics that start with the W/I pairing in mind.

Insights into all the guardians' minds were brilliant as always, & I loved the 'Men are from Meridian, and women are from Oracle Knows Where', & the Trojan bit was sheer genius ;)! Well I suppose Caleb can't really embarrass either himself or anyone else much more (:P).

Sorry it's taking me so long to read, but I'm enjoying it :)!

Lol, tampons & Irma's dreams at the start of this chapter were a brilliant touch :)

Once again, I can't find anything that needs improving. In character, excellent descriptions, & I can picture all of the scenes.

Might be taking me a while to get through it, but I'm really enjoying this :D!

Great addition on a great story, koolkame. LOVE Belantha and hope she doesn't come to any prematurely permanent grief right away; anybody that kewl has gotta have some staying power, story-wise. Best of luck to Will, and to 'Will', for the time being, (otherwise this story will be TOO short, ya know?) so keep up the great word work, and we'll catch ya on the flipside. A J

P.S. To strayphoenix: Hate to Gamma a Beta, but two words, GF, make sure koolkame uses spaces, next time, okay? ;)

PLEASE, kame, you make me blush :P

Still as great as the first time around, though I did enjoy Irma's line after the salute. Hm...(makes balancing gesture) deal with jerks like Caleb on a daily basis OR (tips other way) be gay. Tough choice. I'll get back to you on that...

Very few things are crazier/funnier than Hitchhiker's Guide. I didn't catch it in the beta but the reference is great, nontheless. Again, "Will" is being just mysterious enough to set of alarms in Susan but not too many and I can't wait to see what happens with her.

PS: Oh, and get along to chapter 8. Verna and I are actually having trouble keeping Valin from giving up on her own story altogether and going to live with your people.

Valin: ICE CREAM!

Verna: (in the middle of wrestling Valin to the ground) Is THAT what she's doing? For the Oracle's sake, Valin, I can't believe you hate me THAT much.

Valin: (fighting off Verna) Chillax, Ver-ver! (winking) Caleb's, like, more single in his universe anyway!

Verna: (releasing her) WHAT on MERIDIAN are you WAITING for, then?

'Will' seems ot be severing Will's connetions to people reconneting them to her. That 's can't be good. Hope the Mage tells Caleb and the real Will infotion that would make them worry about the astro Will.

Anyway, great chapter koolkame. Can't wait to see the next one ot this and DIJIN (I think I spelt that wrong, but i'm not sure)

Good think you took Chi's advice because it's been a long time since you've updated. Now that I'm all caught up - again! - I can sit back and enjoy.

Nikkita, Belantha, Valin, seems like OC's these days are almost exclussivley female. I'm interested in learning about Marcus as I too am a devotee to Gears of War and think everything about that game (except for the length) was kickass! One thing I must point out is that several times, I caught, you put two words together when they're meant to be separate. Perhaps you can fix that at a later date.

I played Kingdom Hearts too though I didn't pay much attention to those Ansem reports. The guy looked like a rip off of Sephiroth anyway.

Oh and I have to say this...thanks for going light on the guy-bashing in this one. Too much of anything is never good.

Now it's time for me to update! Let's not keep each other waiting that long anymore, kay?

Great Story!!

Whoa. You updated. I didn't think it was ever going to happen! This chapter is just as good as any other you've written, of course. You just can't do anything badly, it seems. There were some spelling errors (mostlywriting likethis) Belantha seems interesting. I want to hear about her 'adventure' with Caleb. Can't wait to see more rebels, especially Stray's characters. PLEASE don't make me wait too long for the next chapter!

I don't think I can find anything bad to comment on for this chapter! Everyone seemed to be very much in character, both speaking and POV thoughts, but with deeper insights not possible in the cartoon. I did like Irma showing that she is cleverer than she normally lets on. & The plot seems to be realistic (or as far as it can in the WITCH universe ;)!).
The only problem is that I now have to stop reading because I really need to do some work, & it didn't help that I really mis-judged the length of that chapter :D!
Great work :D!
