I've been informed that it's not perfect; the names are a bit mixed, the world is a bit mixed; heck, even the responses are a bit mixed. The environs are half anime/half game, but I like it that way, and I trust anyone/everyone who reads it to understand who the characters are supposed to be (provided that you know the anime or game, and the character in question isn't one I've created).
- - - Disclaimer - - -
I do not own any of the characters from the Rockman - Megaman empire. I WOULD but there's some kind of embargo that prevents me from accruing what some people consider 'gross amounts' of wealth or power. I also do not own any of the songs that crop up in my stories (atleast not yet, I might get back into song writing, but don't hold your breath), because if I did it would fall under the whole 'gross amounts of power' thing I mentioned earlier. I do, however, own several of the characters who crop up in the stories, and I use of any of them without my permission does invoke all sorts of colorful violent things including but not limited to: squirrels, ferrets, fireworks, waterslides, car batteries, jumper cables, swords, knives, pointy objects, the Spear of Longiscus, Bruce Cambell, and assorted space debris. _________________ Battle doesn't need a purpose; the battle is its own purpose.

Hmm...quite interesting.
First off, I'd say for you to put a bit of a disclaimer on the fic before one opens the link--just to be on the safe side, mind you, as the scene in the courtroom may be a bit too graphic for some readers.
That being said, this was a good read. I did notice a few continuity errors here and there, most of them being the switch from the raw to the dub system of naming, but other than that, it seemed to flow rather well. You spare no expense in writing about the scenery, and that enlivened the read immensely.
For me, the courtroom scene stood out the most, not only because it was fairly graphic, but also because the accused seemed to be a lot like other villains that I've seen before on other dramas, the one that comes to my memory at this time being a radical Christian in the old drama Seven Days. He too spoke of divine judgement and retribution for the technology that humans had developed, and rued the day that the world seemed to stray from his vision of a 'perfect' world before unleashing a deadly strain of the Ebola virus in a crowded airport. The name is fitting--quite similar to that of Odo on Deep Space Nine--meaning nothing. His words, though trite, seemed to be drenched with his loathing of the world and his desire to see it toppled to the ground, and you did a marvelous job of conveying that feeling across.
Whew, I'd better stop before I go too far. Anyway, good read. _________________ Today, these three players are after Big Bucks! But they'll have to avoid the Whammy, as they play the most exciting game of their lives! From Television City in Hollywood! It's time to 'Press Your Luck!'--Rod Roddy

You are, of course correct. The story would be rated . . . 'R' I suppose, for violence and mild language.
Also, the story is a work in progress; in retrospect, I should have posted it chapter by chapter, for the sake of people not registered with FanFic and can't set the site to send them notice of its updates.
Too late now I suppose . . . :grr: _________________ Battle doesn't need a purpose; the battle is its own purpose. You don't ask why a plague spreads or a field burns. Don't ask why I fight. |

I've read a bit of your fiction, and I have to say that your deep knowledge of english is quite better than I could have made out. I don't mind some continuity flaws, since I'm writing stories that has mostly with descriptions on subjects in the story. You made at least a nice work. |

I don't think DS Forte would be honorable enough to allow Boushi to live, just the fear of being cracked again. In fact, DS Forte is a whole lot more honorable than I'd think he'd be. _________________ All life begins with Nu and ends with Nu... This is the truth! This is my belief! ...At least for now.

I'm not too terribly familiar with the anime, most of the world I have reference for is fansite articles, fanfics, the american games, and anime profiling (psych profiling of characters by drawing parallels between repeated traits). Forte seems to almost be a Vegeta-esque character in the concept that the only thing he respects is strength, which leads him to make decisions like 'letting a foe reach full potential before really fighting them,' because he'd find using his power to smite them in a weakened state a waste of his time.
Between the original Rockman games and the Battle Network series he almost seems to have matured; from a petulant teenager with angsty vengeance issues :grr: (evil for the sake of evil), to an angry adult who can only lose track of his own demons when he's focussing on a life or death conflict .
Of course, I could be wrong, wouldn't be the first time. _________________ Battle doesn't need a purpose; the battle is its own purpose. You don't ask why a plague spreads or a field burns. Don't ask why I fight. |

Yeah, I think Forte is like that. But when he turned DS, I don't think he would care about that "honorable battle" stuff anymore. _________________ All life begins with Nu and ends with Nu... This is the truth! This is my belief! ...At least for now.

Encourage others to read and review! In the next few chapters I really start shaking up the universe. I even kill one of my favorite navis.
Who will it be? Tune in to find out!

Finally finished with the accursed thing. I HATE exposition chapters, it's so friggin hard to maintain the past tense / present tense balance.

After that damned exposition chapter, it's finally nice to be able to get back to the real story.

So far, I've read 3 chapters and find it very interesting. Good work! I like to read it when I'm bored by my computer. |

It's shorter than I usually write them, and I hate doing that, but I'm building to something, and if this wasn't stort then the next scene would seem really weird.
Atleast *I* think so.

Finally,after spending most of the week trying to find a song, I'm finished with this chapter. It's the halfway point for the story, and marks a huge shift in the structure of the story's attitude.

That latest link requires login.
Anyway, I'm catching up to how far you've written. I've also noticed that you keep mixing up some character's name between the japanese and american dub version, like Enzan Blaze ie. |
