This may be the best ending to of any Kigo I've seen. In many ways they are both the same people they have always been but they are so different from who they were at the beginning. Very nice. Thanks.

blargh!

As fun as the first installment of the series was, this one is just an example of a bad sequel made for money. You let the OC's completely take over the story. Worse, you threw in an entire unrelated universe as a quick and easy -out- in several locations. Sure Fox and Xanatos are fun characters, but you used them as a cop out in three different locations and demoted and diluted the main characters in the process.

Further... not ONCE was Lisa Chairman's personal antipathy towards Kim even approached. She just shows up out of no where, swears vengeance on Kim for no reason divulged in the story. She;s giving a half-concocted excuse of being a programmed assassin, but that doesn't hold with any of her actions in the story; and then she is conveniently axed by the third party when the character flaws got out of hand.

The whole Ron story just drops off midway through, and we get a hack-kneed backhanded explanation in the epilogue that pretty much throws manure on the Bonnie/Ron thread that had been a primary focus of the first eight or so chapters. Yori, of course, smacks of Authorial convenience as much as, if not more than, Fox Xanatos; getting the guy with no effort or forethought after you laid the groundwork for a completely different unfinished relationship for Ron and Bonnie.

The Shego and Kim story really leaves me completely cold. Neither of them learns anything beyond the After-school Special message of "be yourself" and completely fail to grow from where they were at the end of the first story in the series, despite all the monumental changes and hardships they're forced to endure.

and I won't even get started on the triple farce of clone shell-games, marshal law, Wade's alternating omnipotence and impotence throughout the story. That hangs around at the end of the story like a three-day old fish, essentially unresolved on all counts as we never know who, ultimately, was the person pulling the strings. This may be a part of a trilogy (now-2008) but the story should stand on its own with a clear beginning, middle, and end, regardless of what comes before or after.

Sorry, but I couldn't find much at all in this story to recommend it or counterpoint the negatives throughout, and I'm honestly surprised I finished it.

Wow, definitely not how I thought the story would end. Different type of ending instead of everything going back to normal; it makes the story stand out. I like it.

Also, first thought when I read “Pack Media Studios” …Fox! Ah I love Fox. Using two great shows, awesome-ness. :)

Great work.

I think you had a better, or let's say more thoroughly, thought out story there compared to 'Don't Do Me Any Favors'. Meaning you're getting securer in your writing style.

The story itself is like hardcore X-Files. This itself is a cool thing. You don't know who they can still trust. I think you overdid it a bit with all the clones. I had several points where I had no idea who was doing what for wich reason.
On the other hand you could have played more on the distrust between Kim and Wade. It would have shown in how bad a situation she actually was that she didn't even know whether she could trust one of her two best friends.

I thought the end was a bit... well... it didn't have a peak. That's one writing style... but you left a big cliffhanger there. Follow up on such a thing or else you will anger a lot of people. Unless you want to have that as the end of the whole storyline.

I liked that you hinted at a reunion at the end. Otherwise it would have left too many strings untied.

So basically... all in all, it was a very good piece of work. See to it that you get a bit more clearness into the whole 'who stabs who in the back'-affair. And for god's sake, write the sequel ;).

That was quite amusing. Though, it was interesting to see that Shego has at least a contact in the Illuminati. ^_^ Anyway, that was quite well done. Although, I wasn't too happy to see that Ron WAS the one who was shot in court; although I'm wondering how they faked his death so no one would suspect that he wasn't in custody anymore. Aside from that, it seemed a little anti-climatic with Kim capturing the Directors. The main part really seemed to be Kim fighting Lisa Chairman. That had a bit of a quality that the fight with Betty lacked. Though, it was still quite good. Though, I wonder if you're planning a third fic with how this one ended. ^_^

The story is goign great so far. Sorry i havent commented on it in a while but i have been following it. I hope agent thomas makes it out alive. also the ninja says "I will make you to join with Possible-san." did you mean to say possible or stoppable? I wasn't sure if that was the ninja's mistake or just a typo. anyway great story keep up the good work

Quite nice. ^_^ I'm wondering how this will all end. I'm guessing that there's about two more chapters before everything starts to calm down. Though, I'd expect a lot of people to be suspicious of how the 'terrorists' died, because you'd think that those in charge of security would have made sure that that couldn't have happened. Especially with how this shows a complete lapse in their security. Though, I'm not sure if you're planning on having that play a factor or not, but it'll be interesting to see how it goes. ^_^ Anyway, I look forward to the next update.

Wow. Things are getting more and more complicated. The Kim and Shego synthodrones blown up in the bus. What I'm still assuming is the Ron synthodrone shot, then killed in the hospital. Bonnie now being taken to...Yamanouchi? to see the real Ron?
Can't wait to see how right or wrong I am.

Things are certainly heating up, and taking a turn for the worse for poor Ron. I feel sorry for Kim too, Shego certainlly is acting like such the bitch lately. Can't wait to see how those two finally work it out.
I liked the way you made referance to Gargoyles in this chapter. Does that mean we will eventually see Goliath and clan?
I must also admit that I'm liking your OC Agent Thomas more and more. He's a very good foil for Agent Du. Opposite sides of the same coin you might say.

That was interesting. I doubt that was the real Ron, but I'm sure the world will be greatly surprised when they find out that those are just fakes. Though, I wonder what the next move will be. Like what'll happen to Ron. Anyway, I look forward to it. ^_^
