Chapter 6

Welcome to Xaviers

Ranma's mind scan of New York showed an extremely large population of mutants. Most of those mutants have gone into hiding. Ranma noticed that there was a large population of them underground. He tried not too get too caught up in the problems of New York and he decided to occupy his mind by listening to Hank. The larger mutant doctor was currently going on about the additions that they have made to the school and other such matters.

Ranma leaned against the seat he was strapped to and listened to him drone on about all this technical stuff. His mother seemed to be enjoying having somebody, _anybody_, to talk to. Trying to sleep wouldn't help at all as Ranma couldn't help but think about all of the helpless and unfortunate beings who were cast out from society. Not to mention all of his own personal problems like the fiancee business, The Brotherhood, and that Shampoo girl. Ranma knew that he would see her again. she was very persistent and those amazon laws he read from her mind were very strict. Her delusions of him being her husband for some reason kind of frightened him.

The pigtailed telepathic was getting impatient. Hank had decided to take the scenic route to show off the jet. Ranma agreed but didn't realize that the man would be taking them through all of Asia. Now he was really bored as all through the Chinese roller coaster ride from hell he had been blabbing on about boring stuff. He'd had just about enough.

"Hank can we _please_ just get to the school already? We've been riding this thing for over an hour and a half." Nodoka nodded in agreement with Ranma.

"Yes Ranma is right. It is getting awfully late and my husband will be worried." Ranma big-sweated.

"Uh Mom? Do you really think _he_, of all people, would be worried?"

***************

Saotome home...

Genma Saotome walked through the front door of the house and called out, "TAIDAMA!" He walked into the dining room catching the faint odour of dinner but no one was there. "NO-CHAN!?" He called out as he poked his head into the kitchen. He ran up the stairs and poked his head into Ranma's room. "RANMA!?" He walked across the hall and opened the door to Marina's room. "FREAKISH MUTANT GIRL!?" He called out. Genma, seeing that he was the only one home, decided to make the best of his time.

He went to the cellar and raided the alcohol cabinet.

Westchester New York, The Xavier school for gifted youngsters...

Professor Charles Xavier watched as the Black bird landed in the underground landing bay. After it landed the doors that held the courtyard above them closed concealing it from prying eyes, making it look like a grassy field with a basketball court and a couple of trees. Charles smiled at the upcoming meeting with Ranma Saotome he couldn't wait to give the boy a mental arm wrestling match. He had been trying to get into the boys head ever since he discovered him but couldn't even get a glimpse. If Ranma was able to block Charles Xavier of all people than he _had_ to be powerful With a smile on his face the professor wheeled himself back into the school awaiting the boy's arrival.

Ranma exited the blackbird and walked towards the school behind Hank who led the way. Once they entered Ranma could not sense anybody except for those in his immediate vicinity. It was like the whole place had a mental barrier around it. He could however sense people via Chi signatures. Ranma liked the Mansion it was large and very neat and tidy. He could sense that it was more than it appeared though. There was at least four stories underground, four _large_ stories.

A bald man in a wheelchair turned the corner and headed directly towards Hank and his companions. Nodoka bowed in greetings Ranma and Marina followed suite not wanting to be rude. Ranma noticed just now that Marina had hardly said a word at all after boarding the large black jet she was quiet usually but not _this_ quiet.

Professor Charles Xavier chuckled and raised his hands in a warding gesture. "Please, there is no need for formalities here. We're all friends." The three guests from Japan stood up straight. Nodoka, ever the curious one started with questions as soon as possible.

"Are you Mr. Xavier?"

Charles nodded. "That I am Mrs. Saotome."

Nodoka blushed. "Please call me Nodoka."

Professor nodded and took the woman's hand in his own. "Then you can call me Charles." He replied. With that he kissed the top of Nodoka's hand lightly she took her hand back and covered her blushing cheeks. Charles smiled. *I've still got it.* He thought with pride.

Ranma watched the scene between his mother and the Professor with a little vexation. She was a married woman. If his father saw this little scene between the two he would be infuriated. After thinking about it for a while though he calmed down a little when he thought about it. She hadn't seen her husband or son for ten years who knows who she could have had an affair with. After such a long time away from family she probably thought of herself as single. He decided to change the subject.

"So Charles, What is it you do here at the school? Do you teach mutants how to defend themselves? Do you teach them martial arts?" Ranma asked. Professor turned towards the boy and smiled.

"I'm hardly equipped for teaching martial arts." Charles said as he indicated the wheelchair that he sat upon. "Follow me though and I'll show you everything." The professor then turned around in his wheelchair and began rolling down the hallway everyone followed him and the tour began.

**************

Sweat poured down his face as the youth glared at the opponent that stood before him. His pigtail blew to the side as a gush of wind flew by. Without warning the giant machine lunged forward with a speed that seemed impossible for it's size. Ranma jumped back and a pinkish golden aura erupted around his body as he floated in hid air. A sword of pure energy materialized in his hands and he rushed towards the mechanical monstrosity that was a mere three feet away now. A fist came down on Ranma's back, as he ducked under one blow, and he fell to the ground in a heap, his aura faded away into his body and he lay still.

The robot saw this as a golden opportunity and lifted both arms above it's head for the killing blow. Golden yellow energy erupted from Ranma's cupped hands and slammed into the Robot's chest, sending it across the room to impact with the metallic wall. Ranma got to his knees and gasped for breath. His clothes were torn to shreds, his shirt was nearly non-existent and bruises adorned his body in almost every area imaginable. Several gashes in his chest were dripping with blood but were already healing.

Ranma raised his hand into the air and gave a thumbs up. "I WON!" He called out to nowhere in particular. The room was full of robotic bodies and some even had organic parts to them. Most couldn't be identified at all, though it was obvious that Ranma had been fighting for quite a while.

The bodies on the ground faded away and then the room followed to show a very plain room with smooth metal surfaces for the floor, walls, and ceiling. On one side there was a glassed room where several people stood watching the fight. "Had enough Ranma?" came a distorted voice from all around the giant room.

In a much smaller room Nodoka, Marina, Professor Xavier, and the rest of the x-men sat watching Ranma in awe. "That was the most amazing thing I've ever seen." Noted Marina as her eyes stayed glued to a screen that showed a shot of Ranma's beaten form standing triumphantly in the middle of the room.

Nodoka got a tear in her eye. "My son's so manly!" She said with pride. Everyone broke out of their stunned silence to look at Nodoka strangely for a second.

"Professor are you sure having this boy around the school is safe? No body has ever gotten past level 20 in the danger room, this kid just did 50. No one should be that powerful Man or mutant. Power goes to their head." Said Cyclops.

Charles just smiled as he watched the screen. He then flicked a switch on the console in front of him and spoke into a nearby microphone. "Would you like to raise the level a bit higher mister Saotome?" he asked almost playfully.

Inside the Danger room. Ranma shook his head. "Naw! Raise it five levels!" He said with a confidant smile.

The professor moved his hand to flip a switch that would raise it to Ranma's desired level but Hanks hand moved to stop him. "Professor you _can't_ be serious about this! He was nearly beaten by the last level!"

Charles gently moved Hanks hand aside and flicked a couple switches. "Trust me friend. He'll be fine." Hank was reluctant but he could see nothing but sincerity in the man's eyes and he backed down.

"All right."

*************

Ranma stood in the center of the danger room waiting for Xavier to start up the next level. He got into a ready stance once he noticed the room changing into a different setting. The walls shifted and changed color. He was in a rainforest now, the danger room adjusted the temperature so that it was more realistic.

The pigtailed martial artist could swear that he was actually in the middle of a rainforest. The air was hot and musky, there was next to no wind at all and tall trees and other exotic plant life surrounded him. Without warning something jumped out at him from the bushes on his right he dodged the impossibly fast object but then was forced to the ground by another similar object from the other side. He rolled with the blow though and pushed the thing off of himself with his feet. He tried to stand up but more came. A Chi blast erupted from his palms and blasted a large hole in the forest.

Some of the things that were attacking him were caught by the blast and Ranma could now get a good look at them. They were small creatures about two feet tall and six feet long, their skin was metallic like a living metal, cheetah striped fur sprouted out of their backs in swirling patterns. Ranma stood ready for the creatures to attack again. They didn't disappoint him, but not before turning completely invisible.

"What the..." Ranma said before he was rammed from every side. He felt claws dig into his flesh and he was thrown down to the ground. That was when the program ended.

"You died Ranma." Came the Professors voice from the hidden speakers. Ranma stood up and dusted himself off.

"I coulda handled it. If you just gave me another minute..."

"In another minute you would have been dead." Came the professor's voice again. "Those creatures were made of pure adamantium, they turn completely invisible and move faster than any creature in existence. I'm surprised you lasted as long as you did."

Ranma shrugged. "Hey, Chi comes in handy sometimes." The doors opened and Marina rushed out to meet him along with Bobby drake and his mother. The others came out after them at a less frantic pace.

"That was so cool Ranma!" Said Marina excitedly. "Can you teach me to do that?" Ranma shrugged his shoulders.

"Yeah I guess I could. It might take a while before your as good as I am but if I had a danger room like this at the dojo you could learn in next to no time."

Beast walked up to Ranma and slapped him on the back. Ranma winced and tears welled up in his eyes he calmed down though cause he knew that Hank meant well. "That was quite a spectacular performance there Ranma I have never seen anyone move as fast as you just did."

"Yes my son is quite manly." Added Nodoka. Everyone looked at her confusedly. Ranma looked towards Xavier who just shrugged in reply. Ranma had searched his mothers mind many times to find out what she meant by that but she was so one minded that when she was thinking about this manliness thing, it was all she thought about.

Beast patted the pigtailed martial artist on the back again who let out a whimper of pain as he did so. "Well shall we get on with the tour then?" He asked. Ranma nodded in agreement.

"Yeah sure no problem, how about we visit the infirmary next?" Beast laughed out loud and slapped him on the back twice hard before walking towards the door again. Ranma nearly fainted from pain. Marina put an arm around Ranma's shoulder and let him lean against her as they walked after the man.

*************

Ranma felt like a million bucks(american), the infirmary was a gift from god. After fifty levels of the danger room he really deserved the rest. That Danger room was a martial artists dream come true. All this technology was amazing the illusions hit so hard and felt so real that it was easy to lose yourself in the program and think it was real.

"Well Ranma is it all right if we continue the tour without you? There is a lot more to see." Asked Hank who was the official tour guide of the Xavier school for gifted youngsters. Ranma shook his head and began to get up.

"Naw that's okay I wanna know what Marina's powers are."

"How did you...?" Asked hank Ranma smirked and pointed to the side of his head.

"Mind reader, remember?"

"What's going on? What do mean my powers?" Asked Marina as she looked back and forth between the two. Hank chuckled.

"Well I guess there's no beating around the bush now. We were going to visit the science labs next and I was curious as to what your power was, other than the slightly different appearance. I was gonna ask if I could examine you."

Marina was blushing. You could hardly tell because of the scales that covered her entire body but Hanks words were quite embarrassing to her. "Um I guess you could. I would like to know what my powers are too." Marina said sheepishly as she covered her burning cheeks with her hands.

Beast blushed. Everyone in the room was staring at the two with either smirks on their faces, save Ororo Monroe, Aka: Storm, who was frowning and glaring daggers into Hanks back. Hank waved his arms to the side motioning for Marina, Ranma, and his mother towards the door while giving Storm a nervous glance.

**************

Marina was embarrassed beyond all that she had ever imagined. She was currently lying on a metal table with only a pair of panties. Hank was standing beside the table and had just pried a scale from her forearm. He put it on a small Petrie dish and set it aside. He then began putting a bunch of sensory pads all over certain parts of her body. Marina blushed furiously as he did so. Beast then left her and walked over to a small station with a lot of medical equipment strewn about. Hank put the scale under a microscope and began to examine it just after flicking a few switches on a console.

"Fascinating!" He exclaimed as he looked the small specimen over. Marina felt that she was being ignored and decided to talk with the young scientist to alleviate some of her embarrassment.

"Beast. Could I put my clothes back on?" She asked. Beast shook his head.

"Not at the Moment Kitata-san. You have to let the scanners do their work then I can check the finished results. After that I should be able to determine what kind of powers you might have based on blood samples and the various tests I have put you through." Marina blushed as she thought back on some of the tests Beast had made her do. Some were a lot...less comfortable than the current one that was underway.

"Okay." She said reluctantly."

A small light flashed and a beep was heard. Beast then walked towards the next room while taking off his medical suit. He looked back to the snake skinned girl and nodded. "You can get dressed now Marina. I'll just be in the next room going over these results." Marina nodded and quickly rushed to get her clothing from the nearby locker.

*********

Ranma his mother and the rest of the X-Men watched Hanks experiments on Marina through a screen in the next room. Ranma was feeling a little red at the moment. He didn't like the way they were just standing around watching, it felt wrong. Ranma tried not to look but his curiosity always got the better of him.

Professor Xavier was holding his chin in thought as he watched Beast finalize the tests. "I think Hank may have already uncovered the mystery as to our young friends powers."

Ranma looked down at the Professor and frowned. "Yeah sure but she shouldn't have to take off all her clothes! With all this technology at your hands, why don't you build something that can take information that doesn't include people taking off their clothes?" Charles was about to answer but then got a thoughtful look on his face.

"I've never thought about that." He admitted. "I think I'll have Hank look into it." Ranma nodded and looked towards the door where Marina and Beast walked in seconds after.

Marina blushed as she realized that they were watching the whole thing. "I thought you were going to continue the tour without us until we were done." Ranma blushed and put his hand behind his head nervously.

"Heh, Heh! We decided to wait up for you." Ranma shuddered as he "accidentally" looked into Marina's mind and saw the many interesting ways she was planning to hurt him and the rest of the people in the room. Ranma shrunk back into the corner as Marina stalked angrily towards him with a look of death in her eyes.

"You were ogling me RANMA!!" She said in an icy tone. Beast, seeing the rather unpleasant predicament his young guest was in, cleared his throat, catching everyone's attention.

"Well would you all like to know what I think, concerning Miss Kitata's powers?" He asked. Marina looked back at Ranma and gave him one last glare then she ignored him and followed close behind Henry out of the room.

"Lead the way Hank!" She said with a little irritation.

Ranma looked towards the other occupants of the room. All of them had questioning gazes locked on Ranma. Ranma frowned. "WHAT!? I wasn't the _only_ one watching!"

"I think that went quite well." Commented the Professor, as he wheeled himself out of the room towards Hanks personal lab.

*************

"So as you can see here in this X-Ray, her muscles are much different than the average person, the way these muscles are formed she should be able to extract her scales giving her a perfectly normal appearance."

Ranma nodded as he listened to Hank explain the mechanics of Marina's powers. "So since she's able to pull them in she should also be able to push them out right Hank?" Ranma asked.

"Correct. Her scales replace themselves nearly as soon as they are removed, and dissolve about ten minutes after they are removed. My hypothesis is that she is able to use these scales as a projectile."

"So her scales are her offensive as well as her defensive." Finished Ranma.

Hank nodded and continued. "Yes I analyzed and tested her scales and between the span of about an hour they have hardened quite a lot."

"So your saying..."

Hank nodded again. "Yes! Her scales will have hardened to the near invulnerability of adamantium by the time she is twenty three." Marina, Nodoka, and the rest of the X-Men listened to Ranma and Beast list off all of the things Marina's powers were capable of doing with unhidden awe.

"I can do all _that_!?" Marina mused to herself. Ranma held his chin thoughtfully and nodded his head.

<That explains how you could have survived the beating by that gang.> He said mentally to her.

*Huh!* She thought a little stunned by the intruding voice in her head. *R-Ranma?* She asked in her mind.

<Remember when I first found you Marina? You were being beaten on by all those mutant hating punks. I thought I was too late because they had given you quite a beating before I got there. It was those scales that cover your entire body that saved your life.>

Marina thought back to that dreadful event that brought Her and Ranma together. The punks were using heavy blunt objects that would have broken several bones in an ordinary humans body with only a few solid blows. She had come out of a severe beating with only a few bruises and a forced nap.

*Your right! If it wasn't for my scales...* A tear ran down Marina's scaly cheek as she thought about what would have happened if she hadn't had her power. Ranma wiped the tear from her face and gave her a smile that melted her inside and practically forced her to smile back.

"I'm going to talk with the Professor alone for a bit Marina. I'll be a while." Marina grabbed Ranma in a bone crushing hug and then let him go Neither of them spoke after that and a deathly silence spread across the room.

"Professor?" Ranma asked Charles as he headed to wards the door. Charles picked up the mental message from Ranma concerning the topic of what it was he wanted, nodded, and followed the boy out. Xavier then began leading Ranma towards his office.

"Wasn't she just ready to kill that guy or something?" Asked bobby to Colossus. Who was standing next to the boy with an equally confused expression.

"She's a woman Bobby, don't try to understand her. Just let it be."

************

"What is it that you wanted to talk about Ranma?" Professor Xavier asked the young pigtailed martial artist who was currently sitting on the opposite side of a large wooden desk.

"Professor... I want to open my own school in Japan. A lot like yours, for mutants." Ranma said frankly. Professor Xavier nodded and smiled. He was hoping Ranma would join his school but this current turn of events was far better than Charles could have ever hoped.

"I'm glad you do Ranma. I really am. There are far to few places where mutants can feel safe like my school. I think that opening a school there is just what Japan needed, especially with the Japanese government considering starting up the sentinel program." Charles said. "I'd be glad to help in any way I can I will even fully fund your cause."

Ranma smiled wide. "Really!? You'll even set up my own danger room for training?!" Ranma asked excitedly. Charles nodded.

"I thought you could read minds Ranma. Why don't you go inside my head and see if I'm serious or not?"

Ranma smirked. "I've already tried. Your mental abilities are really vast and it's difficult to tell. I also noticed that you've had severe trouble finding your way around my own mental barrier." Ranma noted.

Charles smiled darkly. "Would you care to test your mental abilities against mine Young Saotome?" Asked the professor with a hint of menace and promise of pain.

Ranma nodded as he glared at the bald man with just as much menace in his eyes. "You practically read my mind."

************

"Where's Ranma?" Asked Marina as she sat at the dining room table of the X-Mansion. Currently Beast, Storm, Nodoka, and Bobby were all in there getting something to eat while they waited for the young martial artist.

Beast shrugged his shoulders and stuffed a piece of toast with jam on it in his mouth. "He's with the professor. He said he'd back So I wouldn't worry." Storm sat beside Beast and leaned up against him as she sipped on a juice box.

"I say forget about him. He's cute but he's so serious about fighting and such it's creepy." She said.

Bobby tapped Marina on the shoulder and the snake-skinned girl looked over at the fourteen year old mutant. "Are you dating that Ranma guy?" He asked. Marina blushed and denied it.

"Were just friends."

Looks just a little more than just friends to me." Noted bobby. Marina began twiddling her thumbs and stared at them.

"I just wish he'd hurry up with Xavier. I'm tired and want to go home."

**********

Ranma looked around at the empty void that surrounded him with awe. It wasn't really empty it was more like he was floating in outer space. Stars shone in the distance and he could clearly see a galaxy as well.

"Wow!" Ranma said in wonder as he floated around using pure mental energy to do so. His voice sounded as if he was in a long hallway of sorts as it echoed in the blackness. He looked down at his hands to see that they where black with white outlines. He could see right through himself.

"This is the Astral Plane Ranma Saotome." Said another echoing voice.

"Huh?!" Ranma said as he spun around int the blackness to lay eyes on Professor Xavier. He looked just like Ranma did, nothing but a white outline of himself. "What's the Astral Plane?" Ranma asked. "It feels weird being here."

Charles chuckled as he recalled his first trip to the Astral Plane. "You and I are in a whole different Plane of existence now Ranma. The astral plane is a realm made up of pure mental energy. Here we can do almost anything we wish to; all it takes is a thought."

Ranma held out a hand and imagined it forming into a Japanese katana. To his astonishment it formed a blade immediately. "Wow! Ranma swished it around a bit to get the feel of it then he morphed it back to a hand. "That's amazing!"

"So, would you like to have that Mental Spar now Ranma?" Asked Xavier as he got into a complicated Kung fu stance.

"You know Martial arts?" Ranma asked. The Professor shook his head.

"No. But I can access abilities of others while on the Astral Plane. Remember the Astral Plane is made up of 100% Mental energy. We can do anything." Ranma got into an anything goes stance.

"Bring it on old man."

Ranma rushed ahead int the plane and tried a punch and kick combo on Xavier's mid-section. Charles dodged the first couple punches but the kick connected. Or so Ranma thought. The kick went through Xavier but stopped getting stuck in his chest. The professor then morphed his body so that he was holding onto Ranma's leg. He then threw the teen into an invisible barrier that erected itself from thin air. Ranma kneeled on the ground and glared at the bald mutant telepath that stood mockingly a few feet away.

"How did you do that?" Ranma asked. "That's not possible!"

Charles smiled and then floated back about twenty feet. "I've already said Ranma. In this plane of existence it's not the body that will win your battles it's the mind. If you rely to much on your skill reflexes and strength here than you will lose without a doubt."

Ranma stood up and leveled a gaze with the man. "Can you get hurt in this place?" He asked.

Charles nodded. "If one were to die here than they would die in the physical plane as well."

Ranma nodded and then rushed forward with a battle cry intent on taking the bald man out fast and hard. He feinted a punch but then leg swept the man who fell down and kept falling until he was far below Ranma. Ranma looked down and imagined himself doing the same thing but as soon as he was half way down the professor launched a flurry of punches at him, the only thing that was strange was that he had grown to about twice his normal sized, grown four more sets of arms and was punching at amaguriken speed.

Ranma flew into the void and then stopped himself in mid-flight. Ranma then thought hard and made his own form grow to about three time the normal height. But as he was about to rush the professor again he was nowhere to be seen. Just then a blur of white shot forward from the distance and knocked Ranma back with the force of a mac truck. It circled around Ranma and then struck him in the side again. Ranma called forth some chi energy and shot it towards the blur just as it was making a third pass.

The chi knocked the target back and it stopped revealing that it was the professor. "Very good Ranma. Your reflexes are excellent." Charles then disappeared completely. Ranma groaned as he looked around for the man and waited for the next attack. It came of course but this time it was in the form of a giant monster with hideous claws. One of the claws shot forward with lightning speed and struck Ranma.

Ranma looked around he was back in the professors study again. Charles sat right where he was when they had left. "You lost Ranma." stated the professor happily.

"No way!" Ranma retaliated. "You cut me off to soon! I coulda beaten you no problem if you woulda just left me in there." Charles shook his head and leveled a stern look at Ranma.

"If I had continued or duel you would have been _dead_ Ranma! I went easy on you in the first place."

Ranma gawked at that bit of information. *Going _EASY_ on me?!?* Ranma thought. *That's impossible! I'm one of the best martial artists in Japan, possibly in the world! He's just...just...*

<A cripple?> The professor supported mentally. "I asure you Ranma that I am quite capable of taking care of my own despite my disability. My mind is unparalleled in power on this earth defeating me is nigh impossible for one such as yourself."

Ranma smirked. "You know I'm gonna want a rematch later on right?" He said.

Charles nodded. "I look forward to our next meeting. But in the meantime your family is waiting for you and I suggest you go. We've been in the Astral Plane longer than it may actually seem for time is different int that place."

Ranma nodded and got out of the chair that he was in opposite the Professor. The professor held out his hand and the Teenage psychic grasped it in a firm handshake. "Thank you for your time Professor."

"It was my pleasure Ranma. I've already notified Beast about your plans to start your own school and he has agreed to accompany you and help you get started." Ranma nodded and then left the room.

**************

"Ready to go?" Asked Beast with a smile as he greeted Ranma in the dining room. Ranma nodded and the large man slapped Ranma on the back and led him to where the others where seated. Ranma winced painfully as the man did this he was still feeling the effects of the danger room. Marina had her head rested in her arms as she slept at the table. Nodoka just stood there smiling at Ranma. Storm was just looking bored. Ranma moved over to where Marina slept and put a hand on her shoulder to wake her she mumbled in her sleep for a moment and then just turned her head away from Ranma and kept sleeping.

Ranma put on arm under Marina's legs and cradled her head and upper back with the other being especially carful not to wake her. "Let's go. Noted Ranma and then the quartet headed back down towards the hanger where the blackbird lay waiting. The hum of the jet's engines began once everyone was seated and buckled up. The hanger opened and the jet took off a moment later heading for Juuban Japan.

*************

{Well that's Chapter six. Not the best chapter and not my favorite but it gets the rest of the story going and explains Marina's powers so I'm not complaining. I like the story and I just want to get moving on to the big picture. I'll have some interesting new characters come in, in the next couple of chapters and Nabiki's plan to get back at Ranma will come to fruition. I haven't forgotten about the amazons either. Ar is coming along nicely and I'll be working on Dragon's bond soon enough. As well I have a new project that's based on my most hated character. I might do a completely non-Ranma fic later on but that won't be for a while. I've got enough projects as it is. 5 in total. I'm still looking for some fricking fan art. But I guess some people are just not into art. I just can't draw anime good. But I'm learning. Well that's all from me.}

As always an Astral Shout out to my pre readers.

Chow every one.
