Review 101!
Not as important as the 100th but important nonetheless!
I can't help wondering what K's going to do when she finds out that Lisa is still not back in Hollner. Or if/when she finds Casey at her diminutive size. Either that will make her amused or fearful...
Assuming NONE of the Nations agree to her terms, what will she do then??
I can picture it. This cocky realist speaking to her through a microphone:
"No matter how much power you have, you will never be able to convince the world to surrender. You are not a goddess but a freak made from a test tube. And whether they know that or not, is irrevelant. Because no matter how unlikely it seems, that that they can win, no matter how many people die... they will never stop fighting. It's human nature. Liberty is more important to us than life, because what is life without freedom of choice?"
Damn, that speech would be nice!
Author's Response:
101th is not bad either!
Well, you are assuming Kelly is going to find out about Lisa and Casey. Who knows what will happen? Well, I do. And you will... in four weeks.
As for your speech and your reflection: it's true enough. It's not in human nature to yield or give up in front of oppression. This is probably the reason why Kelly keeps getting attacked, even when some of the attempts are quite laughable. Sooner or later the people are going to find more effective ways to hurt her. Of course, this does not prevent her from considering herself so powerful that all resistance is futile, but there is a little bit of delusionality induced by her size in there, as we have discussed in some previous reviews.
Anyway, four weeks to go...
Cheers!

Chapters like these are my guilty pleasure. I love stories that can mix up these chapters in with a decent story. Interesting to see Kevin is still alive. Did they finally find a solution to get the girls small? Are all the girls gonna go back to being small? (I would mind if one of them stayed big ;) )
I was hoping to be the 100th review, but 99th is cool too. As always, great job !
Author's Response:
I'm glad that you enjoyed this chapter. I had guessed you would. I don't know if you were expecting Casey to get small once again (it was one of the surprises I had in stock).
Next chapter is going to answer some of your questions (not all of them, of course :P). There are still 4 chapters left, and by the end of the story, then all your questions will be answered for sure.
As for the 99th review... you still have the chance to be the 100th is you want. I don't think you reviewed Chapter 15 ;P
As usual, thanks for the feedback and the encouragement.
Cheers!

¡Oh Dios mío! Como si esta historia no podía ser más loco ! Yo sabía que Casey conseguiría encogido por los viales reductor , pero ella todavía poseo la fuerza unatural y durabilidad ! Además ... ya que ella sólo comió un montón de gente , ¿no habrían estallar fuera de sus entrañas ? La lógica no trabaja aquí! Y creo que era necesario llegar tan en los detalles de sus acciones. Es mejor mostrar la matemáticas después de la ciudad y, posiblemente, pasar a otra sección de la historia.
So much for Google Translate. What I meant to say was:
Oh my God! As if this story could not be more crazy! I knew that Caseywould get shrunk by the reducers , but she still possesses the strength and
durability unatural ! Also ... since she only ate a lot of people , would they
have not bust out of her gut? The logic does not work here! And I think it
was unnecessary to get that into the details of their actions. You better show
the aftermath of the city and possibly move to another section of the story.
So what's your next chapter going to be about?
Author's Response:
I'm still trying to guess what your intention using Google Translate was... I'd say my English is much better than Google's Spanish, so if the purpose is to communicate I'd suggest sticking to English from now onwards...
As for your comments: glad to know you knew what was going to happen. I don't remember you mentioning, but I guess you know what will happen in the remaining 4 chapters of the story as well.
As for the people she ate: you can consider that they are either digested or part of her when she shrinks, whatever explanation suits you better. Otherwise, no shrinking method in the world would be effective unless the subject has not eaten in 24 hours or so (and they would need to come with instructions similar to the ones for medicines).
As for your suggestion on going straight to the aftermath: it was a possibility, but I think that the one I chose works best. In the end, part of the interest in this chapter was suprising all those readers that, unlike you, did not know what was going to happen. This required investing significant time in "Casey in the city" and even bringing in the deception of the Millenium Tower still having its spike...
Next chapter will be the beginning of the end ;)
Cheers!

So even at normal size these women are dangerous killing machines! It really is starting to look like this is a DBZ scenario where the only way to kill the enemy is to vaporize them into nothing. I wonder if the relatively super strength and healing factor only applies to them when they human sized because I don't remember Lisa magically healing from her wounds when she got her ass beat by Casey.
Author's Response:
Well, Casey is still dangerous at normal size, even if not remotely as dangerous as she was when she was big. She is stronger and faster than a normal human would be, but not in a "kryptonian scale". She is not invulnerable, and there are many ways she coudl be neutralized besides vaporizing her...
Having said this... Casey is right now one of a kind. She has such a mix of chemicals inside her that it's hard to say where the effect of her reduction and current strength is coming from. Still, when comparing what happened to Casey with Lisa, one needs to take into account that Lisa took a beating by someone not only much bigger than her, but also "blessed" with the same type of super-strength. In reality, the fact that Lisa was alive by the end of the beating is already quite a proof of how much endurance she has. She is still quite bruised, anyway.
Anyway, as usual, thanks for the feedback!
Cheers!

Author's Response:
Man... Google Translate (or whatever you used) really did a very poor job in the Spanish translation (of course, I'm assuming that your original text made some sense...) ;P
I'd reply if I could guess what you wanted to say...
Cheers!

Interesting. So she is now shrunk, but it seems she may well be super powered, in a sense. The world can't catch a break it seems, though its far better then her being a giantess I suppose, XD
Author's Response:
Well, she's not THAT super powered. She is quite stronger and faster than the average person, but not in a kryptonian scale. So, definitely, the world is much better off with Casey as she is right now than it was with her as a giant.
Cheers!

Woah...good twist! She shrunk and now we the readers want to know more, to know why Casey had not grown when she ingested the rest of the formula. Great job !
Author's Response:
I said I still had some surprises in stock ;) I'm glad that you liked how the chapter came out. Weren't you expecting something like this?
Without getting too much more into the detail, when Casey ingested so much of the formula there were so many thing driven by it that her body did basically react in an unpredictable way. Of course, Casey now has only one objective in life: to learn how to grow again!
Cheers!
