Chapter 5 part 4

Title page

Super big flashing title page since this is mostly a fight.

page 306 – 312

So they all cramp into a tiny car. Mostly cause it’s funny to pick on Pat.

Danny looking over the weapons and mentioning there being no gun is cause it won’t occur to Pat to own a gun since he used to be a magic and could shoot lightening and what not. Then once he was a vampire he stole all his weapons from Suryu. But in this situation Danny really would have done better with a gun. Especially, since he can’t lift the ax. Note that later Aaron mostly uses a shot gun for a lot of the same reasons Danny could have used one here.

page 313 – 325

This whole fight, is to show just how experience Pat is in a fight. He doesn’t talk much and makes sure to keep an eye on what’s going on. Ally can mostly take care of herself so Danny gets most of Pat’s protection. Danny who’s a heavy smoker on the other hand can’t.

Pat also thinks fast to about using his surroundings with the table. And his stabby ice spell is French not Latin this time around, cause spells can be anything that isn’t your native language.

Demon leader isn’t dumb. He immediately goes for the weak link in the team. But he didn’t know about Rita who while timid isn’t incompetent.

This whole fight ran pretty long. I try not to do fights or scenes this long anymore. Updating 3 times a week while this was running means this fight took up most of the month.

page 326 – 328

Ally and Cal fights once again. To give us more hints of Cal being in trouble.

page 329 – 333

Pat’s back to his usual grumpy self, being all unhappy about taking help from the “wrong” types of supernaturals. Also, Pat’s very handy with getting blood out of clothes. That’s something a vampire should know.

I like Danny’s face when he asks Trish if it’s Seth’s hair that makes her like him. Also this is the only time Pat laughs in the comic I think. The idea of Seth being a “Nice guy” is just so weird.

Trish giving Danny something to think about though.

Brad doesn’t shave when Ally’s not home. He caused the fire by getting distracted by something and leaving the room. That’s the real reason he shouldn’t cook.

I loved drawing this page. I always like nice backgrounds where I have time to put in all the details. Liberael was Pat’s angel. So Cal’s got to go report in on all of this.

Chapter 5 part 3

Title page

Another pretty simple chapter cover. One day I’ll be better at covers and make some that are more interesting.

page 278 – 279

I changed Danny’s answer but kept the reasoning the same. Then I found out Tom Cruise is taller than Danny. OH WELL!

I also cut down Ally’s don’t hook up with Trish talk.

page 280 – 283

And we introduce Ally’s friend Trish. She is super tall for variety and also it’s fun to have Danny’s main love interest for the story to tower over him. Trish and Danny immediately us Ally’s warning to tease her, because they are friends.

page 284 – 286

Cal continues the close eye on Pat. This scene was added to reinforced why Pat needs special attention from Cal. Originally, is was Rita giving Pat blood.

page 287 – 288

It’s very convenient that the demons are being up their deserter near Rita’s place. Pat’s ice spell is in French. Spells can be anything that’s not your native tongue. Anyway, both those demons are dead after this scene. Pat 100% didn’t let the other one go.

But enough murder, here’s a happy cooking scene.

page 289 – 292
Danny usually does the cooking for everyone in the house. You get it here and in a few other chapters. Danny and Trish catching up was cut down a bit. I kept the stuff that is letting you know she’s a blood bond and gives you a few facts about how the blood bond works. Stuff like Danny’s hair doesn’t grow unless he cuts it to shorter than it is now. And their fight about Seth is also important. I wanted to establish that Trish likes Seth and Danny likes Trish without flat out saying it.

page 293 – 302

Ally being the only one without super natural aid to her fitness and appearance does workout regularly.

Danny’s little rant about about Seth was fun to write. Ally clearly doesn’t know that Trish is brainwashed into liking Seth, so she is just assuming her friend is very shallow. Ally’s description of Danny’s hair is how a friend of mine explained it. She was a big support of the white guy fro.

Danny and Ally’s demon recon mission is pretty straight forward. Ally using the wind to lift her up was fun to draw.

page 303 – 305

Ally is the most experienced at fighting so she takes charge in the planning with Pat and Cal doing the most chiming in. And Rita really isn’t confident when it comes to fighting, but she asks the important questions about transportation.
