Well, you certainly made up for the delay...and then some! :-)
So, you're wanting to briefly adjourn for the Holidays is understandable. Although, I must confess, I can't wait to read Gabby's point-of-view reaction to seeing it's Sanders (and not Isabella) who fled with Pyrrha. It promises to be quite serio-comic!
As for the revealing communiques, and Roan's intel? Most disturbing.
If for no other reason than it hints at a clique where the functions of the current Swords and Shields will be consolidated. Which I feel would be as bad as Jack the Ripper having Superman's powers!

Ooooooh! The Swords have developed some kind of pain-killing steroid?
I'll bet it's to aid them in some near-future coup d'état against the rest of their matriarchy.

amazing chapter! So Cuntilda was doped or drugged as it esplain her strenght.
Too sad for Holland but at least he died as a hero like KazumaR1 said.
PS Are there more poser/images for After High Act stories?
Author's Response:
A possible explaination.
Indeed and thanks for ythe kind words.
PS: Yes, if you go http://zanderasgoth17.deviantart.com/gallery/ there, you can see the cover photos for Act 1, 2 in their respect folders while 3 is right there. 2.5 doesn't have one yet.

I don't really care for Gabriel as a character. She feels too much like a man with boobs. I think she needs more vulnerable moments where she isn’t G.I Jane. I hope we get back to the main plot soon but I will say these chapters provided some good character development for Alice at least since all she was before this was the 'stoic analytical girl'
The Elves were pretty cool and at least Holland died a hero.
While Matilda was a straight up monster I wonder if she was just a morally corrupt person in general or her environment made her that way. Not to mention since she was abusing drugs that dulled pain perhaps that had a factor into her overall behavior. Not trying to defend her, just curious.
Author's Response:
I am going to guess you mean Gabby feels too much like a characture and not that a woman HAS to have vulnerable moments to be a woman. Assuming I am right, I have a plan, don't worry. In fact, we have seen something VERY important to her backstory, just it hasn't... hit so to speak. 2.5 was more about developing the Elves and Alice, not Gabby, but Act 3 will have a lot more focus on her as a character.
As for Matilda, I'm kinda leaving that a bit of a blank space on purpose. If stuff winds up not working out like I think I might go back and explain more about her.

Things ain't looking as good, for the Good Guys, as I initially thought they would.

Gabby actually succeeding in seducing the soldiers amused me since I personally don't see her having an overall attractive figure. She's cool and all but she also has more testosterone than most of the entire cast.
Author's Response:
Compared to some of the other girls, she isn't that attractive. About average, unless you are into muscle girls. The reason she was able to seduce them was, partly, because their a bunch of undisciplined rabble that would have been distraced by anything with boobs. I was trying to make it obvious that the "guards" are anything but prepared or combat ready. I mean, they are mostly just gang members or murderers.

another great chapter, I hope that you'll post the next ones quicker.

YES! Way to make up for lost time. :-)

Nice to see this updated.
The next chapters will be violent? ASH is more violent than not lol
Author's Response:
Yeah but these upcoming ones will be full of violence. And its not THAT violent...sometimes...
[Report This]Date: July 03 2015 12:59 PM Title: Chapter 4: Unsubtle Infiltration
Worth the wait. I figured Gabby couldn't rely of another society member for help(even one in-charge of an outpost type farm) but I never would have thought it would be run like a concentration camp. That's an unexpected and very interesting twist. Now I'm ver curious as to what they are farming there and who it's for.
The dilapidated housing units for the workers is almost exactly like a ghetto from Auschwitz.
Hopefully Alice and Gabby will try to kill or at least rescue these poor farmers/slaves from this giant demon.
Anyways thanks for the update and I can't wait for part II.
aaron
PS since this fuhrer is just wearing a nightgown can I assume she doesn't have on her shield?
Author's Response:
We'll see exactly what is going on and why its happening in the next few chapters. All I will say is that it's not good.
She doesn't, though that matters little with only Gabby and the Resistance guy being there. And the shield wouldn't help at all against Alice, their not built to stop full-sized punches and such.
[Report This]Date: July 02 2015 12:49 PM Title: Chapter 4: Unsubtle Infiltration
Are we finally catching up to the main story line? Because, it's been so long since the last update, I'm a little out of whack, chronologically.
Author's Response:
Not even close. This all happens at about the same time Sanders is escaping the Atlanta base with Pyrrha.
[Report This]Date: May 30 2015 5:51 PM Title: Chapter 3: Dealing with Resistance
Seriously, though; as a prequel to Act 3, this wasn't bad. If I could officially score you an eleven, I would.
Thanks for finally updating! :-)

I looked her up at W.O.W. Wiki.
Yeesh!
She looks like the love-child of Bugs Bunny and T'Pring (Spock's ex-wife from "Amok Time")!!
[Report This]Date: April 18 2015 7:27 AM Title: Chapter 2 The Past, Shifting Perspective
So, it was probably the Elves who attacked Atlanta HQ. Thereby inadvertently aiding Sanders and Pyrrha's original escape. The question now is, who leads them: Dobby or Legolas?*
*Sorry; couldn't resist. :-D
Author's Response:
Tyrande Whisperwind leads them, duh.

Double agents always act opposite of their true selves when undercover. Or, as Mr. Spock told Capt. Kirk at the end of "Mirror, Mirror:"
"It was easier for you, as civilized people, to act like barbarians than it was for them, as barbarians, to act like civilized people."
Date: April 17 2015 3:00 PM Title: Chapter 1: The Past, Betrayal
good chapter, however, i forgot who's attacked the base of Society when Isabella has been killed. Can somebody help?
Author's Response:
I can. And I have yet to say who was behind the attack. The only thing we know for sure is that it wasn't the Phoenixes and was highly unlikely to be the Snakes.
Date: March 17 2015 12:15 PM Title: Chapter 1: The Past, Betrayal
First Julia comes back, and now this. It's a good time for me. Now let's see what happens to Gabby, and Alice too, it seems.
Author's Response:
I need to read that, but just don't have the time...
Also a bit of spoliers but Gabby winds up with Sanders and the rest while Alice does a big damn hero moment on Aviel.
Date: March 17 2015 10:32 AM Title: Chapter 1: The Past, Betrayal
Aww man. I'm so happy this ones back but that's torture with every 2 week updates man lol.
great stuff though as always. This will always be a huge favorite story of mine
Author's Response:
Yeah I know, but trying to get them out sooner would be torture for me and cause the quality to slip. And I am not willing to let that slid.
Thanks for the kind words as always and glad you like it.
