New information continues to pour in. The truth about our missing warriors was revealed - they were enteched. My team knows of a possible way to bring them back (and we've asked one of our allies to bring her into the fold), even as another of our allies works on a different method. Voldemort has appeared in person in Idaho. Palpatine is prepared to return in a new body and is inviting several of our allies to come - he didn't ask for us though. And information has been revealed that could return our ally Keily to a whole person.

Meanwhile, things are oddly quiet here in New Jersey. We've been keeping an eye out for trouble, but nobody has shown up. Well, one person did. But they were just a messenger, giving us a second note. Not from Palpatine or Voldemort, but from an old enemy who'd been strangely quiet since he attacked Kagura in Texas: Naraku. In it, he informs us that he and Renkotsu will be present at Palpatine's rebirth, and that he expects my entire team to be there. Though Palpatine neglected to invite us (why, I am not sure - perhaps he recalls how Vash worked to expel him from Kenya's body last summer, and didn't want to risk a second encounter with him), we're coming anyway.

Ten days 'til the showdown... Naraku, Palpatine, Voldemort, we'll be there. Every last one of us. The 21 Gung-Ho Guns, the YuYu Crew, the Newrima Wrecking Crew, the demons, the Shichinintai, the Dinobots, and myself as well. For the first time, I too shall join my allies on the field of battle. Good thing it's a Tuesday.
