Real Fantasy Encounters

The hangover has set in, but The New Wave still have some loose ends to tie up. Bullwark makes good on his promise to teach Lakshmi to fight while Alex receives a call from Rook Industries regarding his enigmatic, reality-altering powers. Something's eating Jack though, and it isn't the alien fungal spore on his arm. Worldbuilder is still, technically, at large... But is bringing her in the right thing to do? Tune in, and find out!

What is the line between Good and Evil? Who draws it, and what is it made of? Can a trio of teenagers even begin to grasp at the subtleties such concepts beget? With Adaptaur fully within Clavaria’s grasp, there is no telling whether his teammates' words will be heard after their confrontation with the reformed Page Turner. Tensions can only run higher however, as The New Wave rushes off to meet with Sir Arthur Castle at Rook Industries.

With The New Wave having reaffirmed their bonds in one another - promising to be open and honest as both teammates and friends - Jack continues his search for the missing Shorthorn in secrecy. Phone number in hand, Jack will have to muster up the courage to confront his ex-girlfriends multiverse doppelganger. Meanwhile, Lakshmi and Alex must come to terms with the reality of their recently expanded career path. Will Alex choose to join The Rookies? Will Lakshmi go with him and abandon their team leader?

The New Wave is no stranger to battle damage, but with no safe place to run to, and a teammate bleeding out fast, a usually simple situation quickly turns sour. With Lakshmi having just taken a strong stand against her authority as a mother, how will Mrs Deshpande react to a room full of bloody and wounded teens? Will the team be able to keep the remaining identities a secret? When a life is on the line, smaller things have a tendency to fall through the cracks of control. Let us hope this isn't the case for our young heroes.

What a way to start a 17th birthday! Not many teens request to have their limbs violently and unprofessionally removed for their birthdays, but luckily Jack is one of those people. As he and The Magician freefall towards the sidewalk below, Lakshmi returns just in time to greet a last-minute party guest. While no one remembers inviting a 10-foot tall wolf, it doesn’t take long to figure out that a certain, recently-estranged Aunt may be the one responsible for the party crashers.

Here it is, the conclusion to our thrilling Halloween Special: Sukeban Dracula! Right in time for Christmas as well. It’s Christmas Eve in Beach City, and three rebellious teens must somehow take down Dracula before the night is through. Even with the help of an eager Hellsing and his van, there is still an entire fish mafia between them and a vampire infested cruise ship. Just another typical holiday season in Beach City. So grab a cold one (or hot chocolate), unbutton your festively themed Hawaiian shirts (or slap on a sweater), and kick off your thongs (or grab a cozy blanket) because this one’s a chaotic present for you all. Happy Holidays!

So many choices and such little time; having regained the ability to truly think for himself for the first time in months, it seems Jack is at a loss. Does he stay with his estranged teammates, or will he run away once more to the distant shores of Australia? Before he can make any final decisions, he must save Shorthorn from the clutches of Mr Living before time runs out. With Lakshmi’s faith in the team failing, and Rook Industries vying for Alex’s loyalty, there is obviously only one solution to all of these problems: A Lunch Date!

For better or worse, the team is back together and all geared up just in time to save Shorthorn. Rook Industries obviously has their employees best interests at heart, as they prep the teens before take-off. Though, giving an unstable teenager an all-powerful, untested military-grade weapon right before he flies into battle probably isn't the most sound decision. To say Lakshmi and Jack are distrustful of their new pseudo-employers and their tech is an understatement, but when you have a supervillain to take down there isn’t much choice left.

What exactly does the experimental Rookie machine do? As far as The Invoker is concerned, it simply enhances his pre-existing talents... But is that all there is to it? He will have to find out on the fly as Arch Lich Lanius Balsure, a Gothic Worm, and several armed missiles threaten the lives of everyone in Exemplar Park. These are the most threats the New Wave has ever tackled simultaneously. They are going to have to get over their grievances quick. Or Else.

“Every action has an equal and opposite reaction.” Evidently the Rook Industries machine is not to be trifled with, so what will the outcome be when Invoker uses it to heal a severely wounded Shikari? With a reluctant Hyperdrive standing to the side, Invoker is free to grab a hold of the reins of Shikari’s destiny in any way he sees fit. Let us all hope it is for the better...after all, every action has its consequences.
