Cool Stuff. Better than I thought.

Wow. I am flabbergasted by this story. To be honest, I was skeptical when I first heard the premise, but after reading it, I loved it. Read everything written so far, and can't wait till more is posted. Keep this going!

Ironically, their methods aside, I've was always trying to show the Reis as being possibly benign (their method of existing not in of itself wrong).

I beg you to endeavor to speed up the heel face turn of the apareis. I hate horror, and this is Invasion of the Body Snatchers level stuff. Loss of individuality, of what makes a person themselves, being forced by external forces into becoming a different person is the scariest thing there is to me. I love your stories- you are by far my favorite author- and this story was one of your best, but its just been gratuitously creepy for way too long. It has long since ceased to feel like building them up to be a credible threat OR exploring their psyche, at this point it comes off as being disturbing for disturbingness' sake.

Also, the idea that they won't change back is truly horrifying. If you really are considering or planning on that, you should be ashamed of yourself for not putting a "horror" label on this story.

Another excellent chapter! And I'm especially pleased with the fantastic use of the infamous "Kaworu-kitten" scene. Really great stuff. Keep up the good work, my friend!

Donkey Kong? Did not see that coming.

Kind of funny since in the first Mario game Donkey Kong was his enemy.

I'm so thrilled to see another chapter arrive! And now we finally learn DK's fate...and it fits, given how apelike Galleom is in the first place. Awesome all around. I hope we get another update soon!

Hehehe Mario just got the shock of his life. So for now Dark Rei is out of commension until she can pull her self back together, that can make for a good surprise sudden epic reappearance to give our heroes a sense of doom lol (I couldn't help but put epic in there forgive me lol). Anyway now we know what exactly happen to DK...now all we need to know is K Rool's fate, I'm sure you will reveal that at your own choosing at the perfect time. Poor Luigi got KO'd lol not really sure if I should really laugh at the poor guy, or not hehehe. Over all awesome job.

Cool! THIS IS Amazing youve done an amazing job so far, Keep it up!

Here's hoping you can keep all your characters and subplot straight till the very end...

Interesting. But I would think that this Rei-I Dark Samus would also be interested in finding her brother. After all it was Rei-I that ultimately betrayed Gendo and gave the power to direct Third Impact to Shinji.

Resistance is Futile! You WILL be Assimilated!

Hell, never once seen Star Trek and I know this thing by memory

The little mongoose Aparei giggled as she threw the ball to another of her little sisters

I'll admit even I find their giggling a little creepy.

"You see now? Having friends can be almost as fun as having sisters."

And the cascade virus of 'I' is inserted into the borg collective.

From the highest tower of her sanctuary,

Kinda hard when her sanctuary is in the core of the planet.

"Yes, and that's the point,"

Can't run away from your conscience.

It's kinda interesting how the Reis aren't thinking to just assimilate the Phione as well, perhaps because Manaphy, and by proxy his spawn, are the guardians of Rei, perhaps the threads of fate make it psychologically impossible for them.

Of course the Little Sisters aren't having to fight a war right now and thus more open to new ideas.

The PokeReis on the Pocket World are assimilating others PEACEFULLY and not at gun point so they're considerably less of a threat (though yes not everyone and a very larger deal in fact, won't have thought being assimilated all the way through, but that's people in general).

You know of the battles that happened on his homeworld... not just between humanity and the Angels... humans also fought each other.

"We had battles long before we even heard of the Invid, or the Robotech Masters or the Zentradi! You could have lost your girlfriend fighting other humans!"

"... then all of this destruction means nothing." -- Rand and Scott at the close of the third Robotech war.

are only happening because of those your father is siding with,"

"For the greater good." As Gendo would shrug it off, if he felt like he needed to justify himself at all.

"But... but they will want to be, after they're changed..."

The core of all of this.

"Nobody is telling you to turn them back into who they have been... "

At the moment.

Though demanding the reversions of the Reis, would be in fact doing precisely what the Reis did in the first place (rewriting a sentient being with a mind of their own into what YOU felt they should be).

"Our father Manaphy knows the hearts of living beings better than any other Legendary Pokémon..."

Considering he knows how to switch souls with people the way other people can switch hats this isn't very surprising.

"playing a Doubles Match against a wolf-girl and a raccoon-girl... "

I'm stunned Wolfie agreed to a game.

" girls who weren't Apareis at all."

While Phione-I (it's fitting they have the same suffix as the Rei they're partnered with don't you think?) might convince Rei-I this needs to end, the fact remains that Wolfie is bound by a promise to become one of them (while the rest as part of the same promise are to be spared, so unless one of them was assimilated, Wolfie's promise still stands).

And I doubt the SSC is about to let Rei-I tell her family on Zoness to end their assault, they won't ALLOW IT!

I can imagine someone realizing the battle is lost and flee to Sauria... the one place the Reis are under agreement not to touch. Dealing with Scales would be better than dealing with the Reis after all.

Imagine if they decide to give the previous Aparoid Queen her throne back and take control of the Reis on Zoness or at least try to.

The rei right now are divided into three, the mostly civilian and non-combatants with Rei-I.

The military forces with Rei-GP.

And the PokeReis with Rei-RQ.

"I want-a to find out what this is.

And he thinks he's going to find out how?

Phaaze!"

The planet is alive? Sentient?

How long the Phazon been here anyway?

then he titled over and fell face-first onto the cavern floor.

If you ask me... he's so repulsive even the Phazon wouldn't want him!

So Melphelis saved her from the nothingness of being erased from the time line?

You REALLY REALLY REALLY hate the idea of Rei-I and Rei-II conjoining into Rei-I to becoming a balanced and whole being (since the three Reis all have the same soul, and the same thing can't eixst in two or more places at once) don't you?

There's a reason the good side and bad side of the hero always rejoin 99% of the time at the end of the story, and it's not just status quo!

Why turn her into a Dark Samus? Phazon is utterly untrustworthy, even more so than ZeroTwo! they have enough plague creatures to keep an leash on.

And I think Rei-I is going to sense one of her sisters is MISSING with Rei-I in existence.

Okay. I'm sorry for not reviewing more often, but I can say that I have not lost interest in your story. You're still going strong from my point of view but you may be branching out too much. It may not be helping, but Link has crossed over to other games. Soulcalibur anyone? (LOL, I wonder what would happen if Shinji ate Knightmare!)

More Kongs are being added to the mix. Fun fun.
