667b | Or Die Trying

Sometimes you just gotta jump through green rainbows for the ones you love.

Omg ribbons. She should wear them as a dress.

HUG OF +3 EPICNESS

Aaaaaaaaaaw YES !

Reona used hug! It’s super effective!

she glomped him with telekenetic assist.

his cologne was so strong she had to jump off a cliff to hug him.

dont go into the light Reona ann !!..dont go into…wait, nevermind.

(suddenly my brain changed the channel)
*puts on bandana and begins to wax on*

the enemy was coming from above, the world around him slowed to a crawl as he watched the woman jump from the cliff. he knew what must be done, the dark words permeated his brain with an eerie whisper…”kill her”….. he obeyed, there was no choice, there was never a choice, the only path was the the one laid out by this dark whisper.

he reacted with a blast to obliterate the threat instantly like so many others this day…she would be no different. but in the briefest of moments just before it hit her something seized him abruptly and squeezed him like a vice. he flinched losing concentration for only a moment and the blast flowed around her. the enemy still lives…”kill her, kill her NOW!!”…there was a panic in the dark whisper, was it afraid of this…girl?
she was falling ever so closer, time was short. he focused his energies, concentrated fully on one large blast to destroy the threat from above. nothing would survive, nothing would remain and the dark one in his mind would be pleased.

the pain!, it seized him again! this time it was more intense and localized. it felt as though some tendril had pierced his chest and was now wrapped fully around his heart, constricting it tighter with each thought toward this enemy, this…girl.
“zap”….a new whisper echoed in his mind. this was not the dark one that commanded death and destruction. no, this was lighter, somehow brighter and struck him as though a giant space squid had fell on him.

as he stared at the enemy, his energy still focused and concentrated for the blast which would utterly destroy her, his heart ached. it was not pain but something else, something….familiar?
the dark whisper returned more pressing and insistent than ever….”SHE IS A THREAT, KILL HER NOW!”…his mind reeled from the strain, it felt as though he were being pulled in all directions at once.
his will eroded under all the weight of his thoughts and the blast he had been building up was unleashed fully toward the enemy.

as the energy sped toward her his mind focused on the girl now practically on top of him. her red hair fluttering in the residual energy from his previous blast. her face, he could see it clearly now, was intent and resolved but those eyes…..’her’ eyes were focused on him with a passion and longing. there was almost a sadness to them, deep within those beautiful eyes.

he could not tear his focus from those eyes. his chest constricted again, his heart felt squeezed by an invisible hand and he realized his blast had hit her but instead of turning to dust and being borne away on the wind, she was still here.
she was now even closer and encased in a bubble of energy. the bubble was his own and she was floating to him, cushioned from her fall by the same blast still flowing from him like an overflowing river. his mind screamed to do something, screamed to obey the dark one, demanded to know why she lived!
everything became a haze, the world was nothing more than a dense fog of grey pushing down upon him, he felt like the god atlas holding up the pillar of the worlds. he felt a spark and a flash of emotions as something wrapped around him.

the weight pressing down on his mind lifted slightly..

his heart pounded as he felt a body quiver against his..

strange hair tilckled his nose..
a cheek brushed against his..

a long held breathe of relief exhaled slowly in his ear..
for some reason he wanted this to last forever..

for this brief moment nothing else mattered..
for this brief moment he was free.

*wax off*

I was hoping for her to stomp him like a Gomba ;)

Reona used hug!
It’s d’awwwww!

There’s always next time!

Waaaaaaaah!!!!

other than a few bits and pieces floating around the net randomly, i have nothing of solid writing plastered anywhere. (i’ve done so many things i cannot remember even half of them).
however i have been thinking about publishing some short/continously ongoing stories of my own creation at some point in the future….the only problem is getting them from the theater of my mind to the stroke of a pen. reality has this bad habit of getting me sidetracked to stare at clouds.

You sound like a great candidate for Nanowrimo! http://nanowrimo.org/ Too bad it’s over for this year. : (

That….is awesome. YAY! A fellow amateur writer! Do have an ff account? I’d love to see more of your work!

You got him Reona! …now pile-drive his scrawny butt like the angry Zangief that you are!!

you draw them so that is an exceptable double standard ‘hair fraulein’

BEAUTIFUL!! {Sob!}

..so romantic! LOVE IT! ;)

Be sure to let us know about your Zap! fanfiction!

No, no. Just wait. The next like five pages are THE BEST.

At least you only have to wait until Monday for the next one!

alrighty!

i guess i’ll continue voting for a delay in the zombie apocalypse as i’d really be sad to not see even MOAR hugtastic stuff…

incidentally, how many years has Zap been running now…it’s been quite the ride :) and given the evolution of both story and your own drawing style, i think the sheer epicness of this story comes across whether you’ve sat it out over the course of years or pick it up and run through it in one sitting :)

That’s incredible, I started reading roughly 2 or 3 years ago so I’m pretty sure I can say confidently that even when one reads the series quickly (like I think I caught up over the course of a few days because I just couldn’t stop reading lol), there is a definite feeling of weighted time that makes it feel as if the characters etc really are living, breathing beings that mature and develop :)

well hopefully she’ll take his crown away soon before he does anything too bad to her.

YAY! If I really did have a handmade William plushy I would be huggling it right now! I wish I had one. I really want one. (sobs) I DON’T KNOW HOW TO MAKE PLUSHIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(is depressed)

Nuuuuu! I hate people talking about endings! Endings suck! It means no more fun! *lalalalallaladon’t want to hear your lies zap will never end lalalalalala

Every good story has to end. If it went on forever it would get repetitive, boring, stupid, bland, outlandish, or all of the above. It’s happened to too many TV shows, and I wouldn’t want it to happen to Zap.
