The air battle between Ace and Dark Birds squad continues. Dark Birds lackeys aren't much to deal with, but skippy may be Ace's equal if not better. Ace and Skippy match each other move for move. The tides start to turn tho when Gullwing arives, Dark Birds flying air fortress.

In a final manuver, Ace finaly gets the one up on Skippy and takes her out. But it stalls his plane, and he can't pull out of it. That is until the very LAST second, showing everyone who really IS the best pilot. But there is still the Gullwing to deal with.Until Penny takes a big hole out of it with the engine thing she built for Ace.

And even though she lost the battle, Dark Bird is happy, with her new best pilot.

The story starts off with a fairly young man, drawing a cart with his father in it, up a mountianside, to an ancient hidden temple. The boy, Hiro, and his father argue constantly, and it only gets worse as they realise they are not the only ones who have found this place. Gina and Ryan arive, and soon afterwards, PeeWee drops of Zelda and Link.

From here, it's see who can get into the place first. Gina finds the way in, but Hiro takes out Ryan and enters first (lucky him, finding all the traps). PeeWee's girls end up breaking in from the top, and end up taking care of Hiro by, well, other means.

Gina has offical claim to the site, but Zelda and link dont care. Ryan almost takes care of them, but in the end, Hiro makes the girls run off. Hiro lets Gina have the site as she is the rightful owner, but after a bit of help from his prediciment.

Britanny finishes her punishment, but Julia notices that her abilities are generaly down... and then comes to a realization and checks Brit with a special move... and find Brit pregnant!! Everyone is uber-happy about it.

Julia brings in someone special to help with things, Jetta, who has lots of experience. She lets her know the bad things (No switching forms, no sleeping with a flourescent light on, no midnight snacks on a full moon, no reading magical things), and the good (100% labour free, no miscarriages).

Meanwhile, Agent M visits Pinky (the Avenger). He trys to convince her to stop her ways, that being the flashy super hero attracts the villians, but she wont go for it.

While Brit and Stripe sleep, they have an unexpected visitor. Tanya arives, and just barely manages to put Brit under a spell. She then planeshifts, to attack the baby on the astral level. The souls magical level, changes the size and how you look there. IE, Tanya is HUGE compared to normal. Subconciously Brit/the baby calls out and blood related souls arive, Stripe.

Tanya tries to kill them all, but is stoped just in time, by Julia, Gina, Bri and Theo ariving. (Gina and Julia are about normal.. Bri is HUGE due to her latent magical ability, and as Gina put it Theo looks like an Uber-God). Tanya doesnt understand how they can be there, they are not blood related (maybe minus Bri).

Theo explains, that blood doesn't bind the souls together, what does is love. But at the very end, you see someone observing this from afar... the Lich King!

Julia "Brianna, Dear? Please stop touching yourself!" (hmmmmm.. that sounded WRONG...)"

Luan and Gar relax at the mansion, looking over vactation guides, and through a bit of joking around, you find out that Gar really does seem to care about Luan.. and that he might get OVER obsessed?

Ryan arives with some tickets to the UFC, and Julia thinks it would be a good idea for Carla, Luan and Gar to join, to see how earth fighters fight, etc.

We find that Ryan is good friends with alot of the top fighters in the thing, including the Femme Fatal, MISTRESS! She is known to be ruthless, but is kind and friendly to her friends. But she sorta has one of those images that they can't get around, and no matter how hard she has tried to be cute, it just doesnt work. Most just looking into her eyes get scared and intimidated.

Except for Gar. And that makes her fall for Gar, regardless that she can tell the Luan is after him. And she'll get him, no matter what!

On a side story, gina makes a few discoveries. Saurian hand scripts look almost identical to Ejyptian hieretic script, and also a close resemblance to the script magic scrolls are written in.

Gar "She'll have to start carying a pry-bar around just to get me off er lips for two seconds!! She'll be havin' Garfield Silvear for breakfast, lunch, and din-din for the rest of her days!"

Brianna "Wait a minute... you opened that thing?? IN THE HOUSE???"

Carla "I'm impressed in the way she was able to keep from spilling out of that 'outfit' durring the entire match!!"

Theo takes Tanya to the Jade realm, to her trial for all that she has done. She is introduced to Merigold, and Adamastria, people there to help free her from the problems in her mind and work through her issues. Interestingly enough, Merigold is a dwarf.. and gets a call from her sister.. who just happens to be G'nolga.

The majority of this issue is going into some of the background of the characters, and Mistresses obsession with Gar now. One interesting thing we find out, is that Mistress was taught by Zero, the won WAY back that was teaching the were-rats how to fight. Also, we find that there saw something very bad that went on with their teachers, dealing with Daishi (weither past or present Daishi, we dont know yet).

Mistress and Luan confront each other over Gar, neither saying they will give him up. This starts them fighting. They both beat the crap out of each other. Luan gets her left collar broken, but mistress gets a broken ankle and 3 or more fractured ribs. Mistress forfits the match, but instead of walking away, Luan helps her to her feet, knowing that the Mistress was just scared about her love and people loving her, and wants to be friends.
