Nice work on this latest chapter of yours; Imakarum looks to be plotting some nasty things for the next time he sees Guyot, which is no less than that slimewad deserves, of course. ;) I also like the way he and Alkanphel are continuing to get along so well. Their relationship is a nice, refreshing break from all the drama going on in the main story.

Both the canon as well as yours. ;)

Sho's relationship with both Imakarum and Alkanphel is a definate change from the usual way they've interacted - or not interacted - up till now. I like that, too, especially since it's going to take awhile for them to come to ANY kind of accord in my stories, and even then I don't know if they're ever going to end up being quite as close as they are in yours. I also like reading about the three of them when they're together, since they all seem to get along well, which is probably for the best, considering Sho's friendship with Murakami, and Alkanphel's particularly close realationship with him.

As for the chapter you sent me over the PM, I like your work on that, too. You've really managed to not only capture the essances of the characters as you wrote them, but build on them in a way that feels believable. I'm looking forward to seeing what happens next, on that story as well as this one, but I also don't want you to feel that you have to rush anything for my sake.

Take your time - though, I hope not quite as much time as you took with this chapter - since quality like this takes at least some time.

I wish you good luck and lots of great inspiration, Obsidian, or Amythist if you prefer. I might even have some new chapters of my own for you to read soon; I certainly hope I do. :D

Good story, the interaction between Imakarum and Sho are well done.

Please update soon.

Good chapter; I liked seeing Imakarum and Sho working together in battle like that. :D Alkanphel comes off as very daddish in this chapter, which is very cute, and I always find it funny when Imakarum acts like he needs a time out. It amuses me greatly. ;D I'm glad that Sho managed to take full control of the Gigantic again, though it would be pretty interesting if he were called on to use the Exceed in some of the upcoming battles.

Though what would be REALLY interesting would be if Alkanphel himself were called on to use the Gigantic?Gigantic Exceed. I don't know just what kind of circumstances would make that necessary, but I guess that's why I'm not writing this particular epic, yes? ;)

Nice; I like the way Alkanphel convinced the Libertus to surrender, too. It was nice to see Imakarum outsmarting the forces Agito brought with him, and I always like seeing Sho interacting with the Zoalords. It's just a very nice chage of pace. :D

Well, that was a fully interesting chapter. I like the way you keep surprising me, like with Imakarum being a sci-fi fan, or Alkanphel swearing. :D

It seems like things are due to start heating up soon. That's cool; I like introspection as much as the next guy, but too much tends to leave the story feeling unbalanced. I'm looking forward to seeing the meeting between Sho, the others, and the rest of the Council. :D

This was a very nice chapter; I liked seeing Tetsuro and Imakarum working their differences out the way the did, and it was interesting to find out that Imakarum himself didn't agree with what Balkus did. It's going to be very enlightening to see Sho's meeting with Dr. Balkus, and the meeting with them and the other Zoalords.

I'm glad you like the work I've done on my other story; I definately look forward to showing you more of it. ;)

The conversation between Imakarum and Tetsuro looks to be shaping up into something fairly interesting. I like the connection that Sho and Alkanphel seem to have, even if it is just bonding over the fact that they both care deeply for Imakarum. What're you going to do with Caerleon, by the way?

According to the manga, Apollyon just ripped out his Zoacrystal and left him for dead. Balkus said that his life was no longer being prolonged, but there is still some life in him. Or is Caerleon's fate going to be a surprise? ;D

Good continuation. Yentsui and Imakarum never struck me as being a couple, mostly since they never seemed to interact in the manga, but this is your story. And you've set up quie a believable relationship between them. I also like the little chat between Alkanphel and Tetsuro; very cute.

I eagerly await the next chapter.

Nice exposition chapter. Not too talky, and I also like the way the others don't trust him at first. Seems like Imakarum's going to have to do some more convincing to get Tetsuro and the others on Chronos' side. I look forward to their first meeting with Alkanphel. :D

That was a good chapter. I liked seeing Imakarum kick Guyot around like that. Most entertaining. I look forward to seeing how the others react to Imakarum now that they actually saw him saving Show's butt, rather than just hearing about it. :D I love the thing with the claws; it's the fine details that really make a story great.

Very nice; a good break from the action, and you handle the characters' reactions very well. Cute scene with Imakarum and Alkanphel at the end, too. :D

Good chapter; I always like having the loose ends from the previous chapter cleared up before the action begins again in the next. And I always enjoy seeing Imakarum; the way he interacts with Sho in this story is very cute. And I like the relationship between him and Alkanphel.

Well, that was a rather emotinally satisfying chapter. It's good to see that Sho might be getting one of his old friends back. It'll be interesting to see what the other members of their litte resistance group think of Sho trying to get in contact with Imakarum, and by extension Chronos. Hamilcal's going to have a lot of explaining to do, if Sho does decide to throw in his lot with Chronos.

And Imakarum has gone and gotten himself in trouble; is Alkanphel going to have to make him sit in a corner and think about what he's done? ;D

I definately like this new chapter of yours; interesting developments, and I love the character interactions. Poor Shizu; I know she didn't have long to live, but what a way to go.
