Dang! O.O Never ever EVER get on a ninjas bad side, especially Tommy's, unless ya want a very painful and cruel death by the hungry snouts of a bunch of wild boars.

Junko & Sherry BFF? Now... that i think of it, they could probably cause a lot of trouble together.

Great story. Love the pointing out that official the Joes were never there. And therefore cannot object to anything.

And in my bid for the geek points: Discworld and His Grace, The Duke of Ankh, Commander Sir Samuel Vimes.

P.S. Do I get bonus points for fessing up that I *own* a copy of the book?

Yeah, don't mess with ninjas or their families. Bad things will happen - to the idiot who tried. Very fulfilling ending, liked the irony of having Mindbender's and the former ninja master's revenge get turned around on them so utterly.

Junko and Sherry meeting went better than I expected, and then I realized that having Tommy run off with Taro almost like a dog with its tail between its legs (I said almost) would have cut short most of their problems with shared feminine satisfaction. Not many people can say they made the great Thomas Arashikage run away without so much as drawing a weapon, after all.

Thanks again for a wonderful story. Until next time.

Ok, the warning was fair ;-). But I damn thoroughly enjoyed the story. And Mindbender didn't deserve anything else.

Love the way you describe the kids (you don't happen to have a lot of little siblings ;-) )? When I watch the kids of my sister I can see how much chaos and trouble they can get into in no time and still be cute while at it. And they are really creative when it comes to playing or making something into a toy (you just need to burn the TV/computer before you have kids ;-) ).

The scene with Sherry and Junko was great *ROFL*, especially Tommy's really quick retreat. And the two of them comparing notes on Tommy had me in stitches.

Thanks for the great story.

hmmmmm i would be making small incisions all over his body and wiping the blood away with salt. as well as making sure i cut him with shit covered knives... and cauterise and salt him.. possibly use a dull knife to amputate a arm and taking my sweet time cutting through the main nerve of his arm... hmmmm this is kinda weak... i expected a more

artistic torture session... including ravens eating his eyes out as he was alive... hmmm

Great end. So glad Mindbender is dead and I love the fact the Hawk walked away and didn't take him as prisoner. He knew what was done to Storm Shadow and allowed the ninja to settle the score. That spoke volumes. Tommy made sure this nightmare of his past died a slow and painful death and he made sure he was dead.

Love the fact that Storm Shadow was terrified of his wife and ex lover meeting! Hehe.

I agree with the others: Please do a story about Beach Head and Cover Girl's baby! Junko needs to meet the woman married to this crazy Ranger. Shana and Cover Girl need to catch up!

Glad you posted the ending; now start a new Snakes and Shana story soon. :D Pretty please? :)

A fitting end for Mindbender. :bows down: great work!

I LOVE this story! I'm so glad he was killed...and by boars nonetheless. I must say boars are very vicious creatures. I have been chased by wild pigs before...not going to lie. pretty darn near the scariest thing in my life.

and I dont know where the cow thing is from...but I do love cows. and I would like to know where mine is. And if i have one...

Love the story! I hope now that the kids are safe and mindbender is dead T'jbang and Billy are forgiven.

Perfect...that is the only word I can think of to explain not only this chapter, but the story as a whole...perfect.

Amazing story! I love every chapter and the ending just fits. Unfortunately, I don't know anything about "Where's My Cow?"

Love this! I have no idea about the 'Where's my Cow," but I loved this, from Sherry and Junko to the vengeance. I loved every minute!

Is there ever going to be a back-story with Tommy, the Brain-scanner and Junko? Or is that left to the imagination?

...I still maintain that I prefer your stories where Tommy and Sherry end up together, but thank you for including her in this chapter! On another note, yay for the death of Mindbender! *Happy dance!* I'm glad that Tommy finally got his revenge. _ By the way, which comic did Junko appear in? Anyway, please keep up the excellent work, and I hope you get my other story requests soon! :D

Oooh. Oooooh, yeah. Cathartic violence? Check. Sexy ninjas? Check. And HOSHIT, cameo by Banger! I totally guessed that would happen. (Having Ace say "shorty" a couple of chapters back was such a teaser.) I'm glad we got to see her again-and the little moment of bonding with Junko and Banger was awesome. I love that little pilot. :D

. . . now I'm imagining Banger meeting Aunt Beth. *clutches head* Gah . . . too much awesome . . . for one brain . . .

Also, major geek points for the Discworld reference. ;)

It was an interesting choice to show Mindbender's POV for part of it, but I think it worked. I liked the sensory details-the notion of tasting pain, for example, which I think I've actually done-and the way he was weighing his options, hoping to weasel out of it. And I liked his reactions to the way they were all claiming bits of him. (Although the way they were parceling him out, I found myself imagining the apprentices fighting over who got the wishbone.)

A worthy ending to a hilarious, touching, and blood-drenched story. All very good things. *applause* Well-played, madam!

Most excellant end. Both to the mission, the drama and Mindbender. He deserved every second of pain and more for all he'd done. Loved the duct tape toys, Beach's incredulity at what a kid would play with, and also the debate over firearms and kids. Personally, if they can lift it, I say teach them to use it.

Loved it all. Liked seeing Sherry again, although I think the upload ate a line or two there. Junko should be used to the idea that her man had other lovers. He's a ninja not a monk.

Thanks so much for sharing another excellant story.
