Wait, you actually believed - even for a moment - that Sarine wouldn't be able to aim her own spells?

Shit, with the speed they fly around the world at, it's amazing Goku's balls weren't ripped off by the g-forces.

Actually, that'd make for pretty entertaining television if everyone got castrated every time they flew off at insane velocities. Or at least, more entertaining that the steaming pile that was DBZ.

I think thats the bottom half of his coat/cloak/skirt getting blown up by the blast. An explosion like that will really get you warm under the kilt.

Jon was on his back. Could is be that Jon is using (the win of) the blast to rotate and being able to shoot the ninja before he lend from his jump.

Of course she can. But what was she aiming AT? She was aiming at Warrel.

And where was Warrel? About 2 feet away from Jon. Ergo, the blast occurs very near Jon.

After nearly three thousand years of combat experience, she will understand
her own abilities and be able to alter her strikes accordingly.

If there was a slim chance she would hit Jon with that blast, she wouldn't
have drawn attention to herself in the first place - the whole point is to
save him from being killed.

Hey wait a minute! I can't tell you the number of times I sat on the couch, with my daughter, watching DBZ, after a full day of coding. For absolute brain-dead entertainment, DBZ does the job.

No, Jon is face down on the floor, feeling about 190 years old and sore as hell. The bottom-left corner on both the first and last panel are both Jon and it looks like he is trying to get up in the last panel.

BTW, hate Warrel. He's an arrogant fuck and needs to die.

Very well, I shall bow to your superior experience. At least until the next update goes live. *shifty*

I'm expecting Warrel to die here.

But he's gonna do it 'Golden Dragon style' (DBZ to all you kids).

Its going to take 15 episodes to finish the battle and then Warrel will come back with a toaster strapped to his head for three more episodes? Ninety-percent of the fight is going to be composed of either two blurs whipping back and forth to some fight sounds or both participants just floating around while grunting at each other? Its 100% certain that everyone will die and be brought back from the dead at least three times each before this is all done? Everyone is going to have to scream out his attacks for all the world to hear ten seconds before he makes his move?

*twitch*

Hah! I got a twitch out of the Labrat :lol:

Golden Dragon style: the hero takes 75% of a two hour movie to die and he kills a whole regiment of bad-guys in his final death battle. In the end, he dies, bleeding from all orifaces, in the arms of the princess who then jumps off a cliff in despondency, completely nullifying the reason for the final battle, which was to save her life.

I have to agree here, and I think that Jon is perfectly unharmed by this blast. If you look at the lines that the "explosion" makes, it's apparent that there are concentric circles in it, aligned at an angle that misses Jon and hits the ground facing away from him.

In other words, it's less of an area-of-effect spell and more of a very large directional blast. Targeted right at Warrel, missing Jon. Sure, there's the incidental explosion at it hits the ground, but most of the force seems to have gone into the floor, not exploding out from the point of impact.

Why is Warrel then flying up away from the blast instead of being turned into a new, pasty throw rug for the floor of this monastery? Simple: he's not being thrown by the explosion at all.

He jumped.

And now we get to see happy happy fun time action as an injured and crabby time ninja goes up against a very old, very annoyed Elf-mage. Sibling reunion ensues in the meanwhile.

The point, which should be obvious for the regular reader, is that Sarine is aiming at getting rid of both Warrel and Jon. After that she'll have a new toy to play with, all by her self.

Warrel looks just like the guy that got sniped during the Connel Assassination.

Hey, I hadn't noticed before, but Jon looks like he is trying to get up, cool.

Ellis? She could've just asked. Jon sure wouldn't have insisted on keeping him.

Warrel: Blah blah blah, nice shot but I'm still alive.

Sarine: HADOOO-KEN

Warrel & Sara: Oh shi..!

Best summary so far. Have a cookie.

If Warrel or Sarah make it back to base after this incident its going to create a huge shitstorm. From as far as they can tell <i>Elves are working with the Wraiths</i>.

Hoping that Jon puts a bullet in Warrel's head as he flies back. Only to get even more crispied by Sarine's blast. Only to have Sara mysteriously move over and begin to heal Jon... Then the potential fight between Sarine and Sara can begin. Or not begin.

And they slipped in a ranger to make sure the Ensigerum trap didn't work. The fight that is a cruicial link in Anita's plans. Then add in reports of the Elves full-court press against Ian, only Anita won't know that it's directed at Ian. Anita is going to lose it, bad.
