- I'll be posting a page a day this week! =P Try not to fall behind!

Nathandg
- Yup! It's been a while, but now we finally see what they're up to. And the Snivy's role will be apparent eventually. He'll be a recurring character- that's for sure. =P

--

Snivy- meet Mist. =D

Also, page is being posted a few hours early cause I'm exhausted and want to pass out.

"I don't even know where that is!" If it weren't for his earnest expression, I'd say he's lying. But if he's telling truth... Well, let's just add him to the list of zany shenanigans, why don't we?

*Kill legendary beast of volcanoes* *Fail to kill treasure hunting grass snake* Edge's team is slowly becoming more and more incompetent... Yippee?

WELL. I would like to clarify that Edge is NOT the Kabutops in the prologue. Go look at the scars. =P They don't match. And while not obvious due to the lighting in the temple, even their base colors differ.

...This is why you shouldn't make most of your major characters the same species... By the time Edge was introduced, most people (myself included) would've forgotten the first guy's distinctions!

Pfft... only four of the Kabutops have names- and they've all got different physical features. They're far from the only ones involved too. xD Edge and Stella are the two you'll see if this chapter.

Edge- shorter head. Has a scar on his head between his eyes. Med brown in color. Has barbed scythes
Stella- Two spikes on head, green eyes, lighter in color, has a necklace.
Kabutops from Prologue- Normal shaped head, two line scar on head, x-shaped scar on chest. Normal kabutops color. Also has a nick in one of his scythes.
Kabutops in page 05-11- Extra spikey, dark in color.

So yes- every individual Kabutops- even the unnamed/unimportant ones will have different features to set them apart. I try to make the features obvious. Originally, the Kabutops from the prologue was supposed to be in Edge's place- but that'd make no sense- he'd kill the twins without a second thought, so I swapped him for Edge who is far more likely to underestimate the twins and get himself in a... heh.... sticky situation. xD

Also, another note- Kabutops cannot learn Rock Blast. So that prologue Kabutops was NOT alone. =P There's a handful of subtle details scattered about.

Aaaw, but I like slapbrick humor! *Not really* Looks as if Nyra passed through their current path or some other scuffle's happened relatively recently.

Though an extra horrified snivy is still better than no extra help at all once the actual confrontation starts at Talon & Co.'s end.

- No such thing as too much chaos!

MedMana
- Pfft. xD We'll find out eventually. And yeah- poor Reggie. He hasn't had great luck lately.

... Seeing as I don't recall anyone from the three parties bleeding quite yet... that must mean that Nyra is nearby. Things are about to get even crazier, huh?

Also, there's seriously a LEGO trap? Guess some poor kid's punishment just became Naya's as well- and Echo's as well, if his reaction means anything!

Finally, Naya again. :) Come on, you can do it!

By the way, are they near the flame? Time will tell. Good thing everything's coming together.

You ever stepped on a lego? I have...it sucks xD And yeah it must be Nyra, or some other character we haven't met yet.

- Yes, there is a lego trap. See Page 28 of Chapter 3? =D It was hinted at there. Poor Naya. Even Echo thinks it's terrible- that says a lot. xD

Nathandg
- They're... eeeh- not that close. I'd say around halfway there, give or take. Running through the traps did speed things up.

Dragontamer
- We'll find out!

Serebii decided to not give me email updates on this :(. I quite like this Reggie. I wonder what effect he's gonna have on the story...

Looks like a fight's started. How will our heroes stand up against their enemies?

Naya's gotta prepare herself, it had to happen.

Okay, many apologies for my absence in the last few months. It was a rough semester and I had a hard time getting the time and motivation to work on art related stuff. At this point, I can't promise regular updates, but I do intend to try updating a bit more frequently. I'll be heading overseas for a few months, so that might make things more difficult.
