TEAM RAIN: ARC 4 CH6 - THE PATH LESS TRAVELED

A WRITE UP FOR THE REST OF TEAM RAIN: CHAPTER 6

We return to Zenith. Zelena Braith is still questioning Viorel Braith on what Kamala Braith’s final plans are. We are not told what Zelena was asking about as we open on her asking for a firm confirmation, which Viorel gives.

Zelena rests her head in her hand as she processes this. She says she wants justice as much as the next person, but is unclear what Kamala aims to achieve with her plans. Viorel cuts her off and says they have spent fourteen years trying to render “the machine” operational, and that Zelena should not make the mistake of wasting their time.

Zelena affirms that she appreciates Viorel’s work, and claims that Akane’s semblance has got inside her head. Viorel states that “fools will do as fools will do.”

They’re interrupted by Viola Braith, who skips into Zenith victorious after her “beta test” in Avon. She states global rollout will go off without a hitch. Viorel says there was no doubt it would work as they did the hard work, but are cut off by Sterling Braith, who enters the room and brings up Viorel’s failed plan to recruit the Crazy Bunch. Having not seen Sterling since the start of Arc 3, Viola expresses exaggerated shock at his haggard appearance.

Sterling confronts Viorel and says his new arms aren’t “good enough” and they need to “do better.” Viorel retorts he’ll have to wait till Tahlia and Gardner get home, as the former is the engineer/mechanic of the family - besides, Sterling “is lucky to get anything after such a pitiful display” at Unsei Ridge, and they did a “miraculous job” given the short timeframe they had to work with.

Sterling grabs Viorel by the chest and lifts them off the floor, stating they’ll find out how “miraculous” a job they did when he uses his new arms to break every bone in their body. Zelena looks worried, then glances at Viola, who is clearly getting a kick out of the drama.

There’s a decent-length fight scene between Otso Umber and Raleigh Radcliff. During the fight, Otso lands a direct hit on Raleigh whose aura flares and causes Otso to reel back in pain. 

Raleigh’s semblance is named “Return to Sender.” As the cost of aura, Raleigh will not take damage from enemy attacks - and instead deflect it back onto the enemy as they hit him. The more he focuses, the less damage he will take and the more his attacker will endure.

Raleigh mocks Otso for not recalling his semblance despite their forty-year feud. 

Raleigh: “Doesn’t matter how hard you hit me - you’re the one who feels it.”

Otso: “I’ll take it if it means killing you! You ruined my life!”

Raleigh: “You’re doing a damn good job of that yourself!”

Otso: “Just admit it! You stole everything from me!”

Raleigh swings at Otso and clips his cheek with his hatchet. Otso spins with the momentum, then turns and catches Raleigh off guard, knocking him to the ground with a right hook. Otso swings down with his greatsword, but Raleigh blocks it with his ax and sweeps Otso aside.

Raleigh: “You want the truth? FINE!”

Raleigh: “You would’ve lost us that tournament! You didn’t stack up! I was the only one who did anything about it!”

Raleigh: “I cracked your damn head open so that I could take your place. You would’ve lost anyway.”

Otso is stunned by this revelation, so much so that Raleigh closes the gap and swings his hatchet at him. Otso parries, then uses the opening to drive his greatsword through Raleigh’s gut. Impaled, Raleigh’s knees buckle.

Otso pushes forward, leaning in and forcing his sword out through Raleigh’s back. As the space between them closes with Otso’s push, he yells that they were like brothers once.

Raleigh raises his hatchet. He affirms “we were” and swings at Otso’s exposed neck. In delirium thanks to their shared mortal wounds, the two exchange glances and chuckle, almost seeing their 18-year-old selves again. Then Raleigh swings again and Otso falls.

Raleigh pulls Otso’s sword from his gut, fully aware the wound is fatal, and casts it aside before dragging himself to lean up against his ship. He winces in pain, closes his eyes, then tilts his head to the sky.

After a moment, he hears footsteps.

Gardner Braith enters the clearing. He ponders Otso’s corpse and weapon for a moment, before being distracted as Tahlia Braith calls to him. She warns him that Team RAIN is here and they need to leave. Recognising their task is complete, Gardner picks up Otso’s bloodied sword as proof of his death and the duo hop into the truck they used to get to Faraday.

Team RAIN pursues Tahlia into the clearing to see the truck pulling out. Wil marches forward, saying all he needs is a truck to close the gap - Irving adds that the tyre tracks will basically draw a map to Zenith.

Akane and Robin spot Raleigh and kneel at his side. Robin says they need to get him help, but he tells them not to waste the effort on a dead man. 

Raleigh pulls a photo out of his vest pocket and hands it to Akane, telling her he has a son, Cordovan. He adds he has a daughter, Rosie, by a different mother. He asks her to find them and tell them he’s sorry, and that he’s proud of them. Akane protests that he can tell them himself, but he scoffs that it’ll mean more coming from her - they’ll know she’s telling the truth.

Raleigh slumps. Robin stands up and places her hands behind her head as she takes it in as Akane studies the photo.

The roar of an engine brings them back to the present - Wil announces he’s found a truck that works. Everyone piles in as Akane pockets the photo for later. 

Wil: “Where’s Radcliff?”

Akane: “He didn’t make it.”

Wil: “How well d’you know him?”

Akane: “Barely.”

Wil: “Then we can worry about it later.”

The truck pulls out, in pursuit of the Braiths.

–

Things get much more nebulous from here, as very few scenes are fully scripted (all of the next chapter was written pretty early, though.)

The following would have been a vehicle fight between Gardner/Tahlia’s truck and Team RAIN/PALM’s truck, involving a lot of bumper bashing and side-swiping. 

By the end of the vehicular battle, Tahlia would have climbed out of the sun-roof of the Braith truck, ran along the roof to the back of the vehicle and jumped off, landing in front of the Team RAIN truck. Using her Repulsion Semblance, she would repel the truck off the road and down a bank where it would be trashed.

Tahlia stands at the top of the hill, looking down at the wreck with slight remorse. Gardner pulls up next to her and climbs out of their truck, brandishing his weapon and telling her to get in the truck as she doesn’t need to witness what comes next.

Gardner proceeds to march downhill as Tahlia stares blankly at the horizon. After a moment, she notices something and squints - a blurry figure appears in the distance. She calls out to Gardner, telling him that someone is coming.

Gardner spots the figure too. His eyes widen and he turns, gently pulling Tahlia towards the truck. 

Gardner: “We need to go.”

Tahlia: “But what about–”

Gardner: “Just get in the truck.”

Gardner looks over his shoulder at the stranger.

Tahlia: “Who are they?”

Gardner: “Don’t worry about it.”

The Stranger watches the two Braiths peel away from the scene of the crash as they approach the wreckage. Irving pulls himself out, groaning as his aura flickers. The Stranger’s boot lands in front of him as he looks up worriedly, but he is relieved as the stranger offers a hand to help him up. We see their face is obscured with a hood, with a neckerchief and goggles covering their eyes and mouth.

Stranger: “Here. Let me help.”

–

Hours after the crash, Robin wakes up in a cave, a blanket covering her. She reaches for her sword, but its scabbard is empty. After a brief scan she sees her sword lying against the cave wall, and quietly picks it up. 

She rounds a corner nervously, where we see an obscured close up of the Stranger warming their hands at a small fire, their back to her. Robin slowly creeps up with her weapon, but the Stranger interrupts without turning - telling her that if they wanted any harm to come to her, she’d be dead already.

Robin asks where her friends are, and the Stranger tells her they’re resting - as she should be. Ignoring this, Robin presses further, asking why and how a random stranger would come to rescue them in the wilderness.

The stranger ponders for a moment as they stand up, playing with their fingers. They tell her they’ve been watching the Braiths for a while now. Robin asks why - who are they?

We see over the Stranger’s shoulder as he turns around to face Robin, whose eyes widen.

It’s a man in his fifties, with untidy grey hair that was once black. His eyes are a piercing white - both sclera and iris - ringed with dark circles of age and sleeplessness. He has a streaked, unkept beard, but his expression shows an innate kindness.

Stranger: “Oh, you know… just their father.”

RAIN's ARC 4 Predictions - Part 2

So, here’s the second half of my theories on what awaits us in RAIN’s finale. I made sure to keep this one shorter & less detailed, because most of them are pretty vague & self-explanatory, and long paragraphs of this would simply be a drag to read through. No survival percentages either, as I don’t expect many casualties on the “team good” side.

Team RAIN

To start off, I fully expect our guys to win the day, eliminate the Braith threat & stay together as a team of young hunters, ready to face off against new challenges (but am not adverse to the idea of a final, that isn't a traditionally "happy ending").

Robin’s big struggle is bound to be facing & defeating Kamala.

Her fears of loosing more people could cause some disagreements (particularly with Marron), but I expect those to be resolved & for them to stay happily together.

Robin’s newly realized main motivation of being kind & doing good could very well drive her to reach out to some of the more “redeemable” Braiths & offer them a chance to give up on Kamala’s masterplan & start anew.

There’s gonna be more focus on Irving, now that his family is involved.

His & Nyssa’s “archnemesis” among the Braiths is Viola (much like Kamala is Robin’s), so it’s nice to see them face off against her.

Romance between the two of them will continue gradually developing (plz give me some precious lovebird moments ; _ ; )

Nyssa has a talk with her mom about Pitch ahead of her.

I don’t expect her to show any interest in seeing him again, though.

When it comes to Akane, I sorta draw a blank, but I fully expect her storyline to be heavily associated with William (I’m not holding out my hopes for a classic romance with a happily ever after, but the chemistry between the two is undeniable).

The Lincoln Clan

While on the subject of Willl, he’s the one I have quite a bad feeling about – the way I see it, he could very well become one of the arc’s casualties. Not many in-comic clues for this that I can think of, but his overall troubled personality, complicated bond with Akane, lack of positive connections to other characters – it just gives me this sense of danger looming over him (needless to say, I don’t want anything like this to occur, but a theory is a theory).

My precious daughter Lilliana is bound to finally open up about her struggles & get a fucking friend.

Seriously, I have very little idea of whom it’ll be or how it’ll happen, but it has to. I’ve waited since reading the first comic pages that featured her, & I believe I’m not about to be disappointed.

The only certain thing I know I am hyped about is her facing Artemis once she is rescued.

There is also her majorly unnoticed connection with Pitch, but I’ll leave that for his section of the post.

Tobin is probably about to come out any moment now, and I firmly believe, that when it comes to Braiths, her & Viorel will get a heart to heart, and she could very well get a proposition of a lifetime from them. Of course, they could be using it to manipulate her, and uncovering their plot/outsmarting them could be a chance for her to shine. I’m not sure how it’ll work in the plot technically, but these two interacting is too good an opportunity to pass up.

I expect Artemis to wake up from her coma – she needs to learn about Tobin, and also finally be confronted with Lilli's storm of emotions & realize how badly she’s fucked up with her girl (and, y’know, work on fixing it).

However, the damage she suffered will probably prevent her from fighting ever again.

I am not sure how, but Roderick will regain his courage & play his part in bringing the Braiths down. I won’t say he’ll survive for sure (the idea of Maylis as a lord seems to be favoured by some), but at the same time, killing many more members of Robin’s family feels like too much.

I’ll group Marron here, since she is basically Robin’s family at this point – it would be nice to see her gain more independence & not just stay “the love interest”. She embarked on that path already when she stood up to Sterling, and should definitely go further in that direction: take more initiative, express opinions, that don’t necessarily correlate well with Robin’s – altogether, be her own person more than just "main hero's girl".

The rest of them

The remaining free members of the Crazy Bunch (Bianca & Rufus iirc) will probably get tracked down – if Kamala can spare any manpower to silence them. It’s also possible for her to just forget about them, since they aren’t likely to confront officials about the Braith threat, and if her plan is successful, they’re going down with the rest of humanity regardless. I like the idea of them sharing the Braith money & just laying low & enjoying themselves offscreen, while the final battle breaks out.

Beyond learning more about him from Maera, Pitch isn’t likely to play a role in the plot again. I have very little hope for him making another appearance, but if that could possibly be, Lilliana has to be the reason it does (since Nyssa’s already had enough of that man for a lifetime).

I don’t think many people paid attention to it, but there was clearly some sort of semi-bond between Lilli & Pitch – probably due to them both being the clan’s outcasts. Even though he’s about to be dragged away, it’d be nice for her to seek him out & go absolutely apeshit into his face about betraying her family (and lowkey betraying her personally).

Though it’s unlikely, I would love to see more between these two – they’ve known each other for years, Pitch might as well have trained Lilli in combat, and it would be nice if he displayed any kind of emotion at realizing she fucking cared whether he’d be around or not.

“The Wishing Well” bar we’ve been teased for the first post is likely to be the place where Jin-Shi, Nyssa & Irv look for Raleigh.

I’m not sure how he’ll influence the plot surrounding Irving’s family & Viola, but once he learns what happened to Otso, I expect him to help our heroes track him down to get more info from him, consecutively causing them to stumble upon Tahlia & Gardner (as already stated, definite plot points aren’t my strongest suit, but this is how I believe they could all come together).

Please wrap my man Otso in a fucking blanket & let him have a heart to heart with Raleigh & regenerate his eyes in peace you people, I am fucking telling you-

I’ve left team JNPR for dessert, namely, because of Jin-Shi Pan – I don’t really have any guesses when it comes to Nanako, Petra or Isambard.

For now, she’ll likely busy herself helping Irving & Nyssa deal with Viola & her welcome party. But there’s a mystery regarding her, that’s been mentioned, but never elaborated upon – her lost friend, Ninety Nine, whom Nyssa promised to help in searching for.

In any other case, I’d say, we are being teased a dlc/spin-off of the main story. It might just be a part of her past, that isn’t going to come up again. But once again, I just have this hunch, that we weren’t told that for nothing. Perhaps a clue will be found somewhere down the line; perhaps some new character will surprise us with their connection to Jin. I don’t know, and this is admittedly the weakest theory on the list, but it’s here nonetheless.

And this is it for my arc 4 predictions. Gotta say, I’m proud of myself for meeting my deadline & finishing it before the first post of the arc. All of my thoughts on it have already been stated, so without further ado, I wish everyone a very exciting part of our beloved comic by @neopoliitan!

[question-anon]

New outfit time!

Like a year ago @neopoliitan and I joked on discord that Akane and Marron probably got/made the Armilde sisters new outfits, since they hadn’t shed their Atlesian fashions since arriving in Mistral.

Then I stumbled across said exchange a while back and thought “shit why not” haha

Thank you @ins-ou for drawing this, I love it!

(also her previous outfit didn’t show it well enough but lillian is shredded)

A Memorable Birthday

(The majority of characters within this post belong to @neopoliitan while the post itself is made to celebrate the birthday of Irving Hawthorne. The depiction of these characters is obviously not canon to the Team RAIN storyline, and any drastic additions/changes are merely creative liberty that I personally have taken.)

The hall falls silent to the sound of three taps of a silver spoon upon a crystalline glass. The once rowdy crowd is now intently focused on the source of the sound, Robin Lincoln. She stood tall at the center of an elongated table at the back end of the hall. She had gained much experience over the past few years and it showed through the long scar adorning the right side of her face, however, with all the eyes digging into her she stood frozen in place; it wasn’t until Marron, who was seated at her side, place a reassuring hand on her arm that she relaxed.

“Thank you,” Robin spoke in a hushed whisper to Marron before addressing the crowd, “I would like to thank you all for coming. Each and every one of you being here means the world to us, whether you’re family, fri-”

Robin’s speech was cut off by a nearly instant set of shouts and hollers from the Lincoln clan, the wild cheers echoed throughout the hall as fists smashed rhythmically among the tables. Robin helplessly watched as her face glowed beet red, Marron could only laugh at the sight.

“Thank you,” Robin spoke out again once the clan calmed down enough to be spoken over, though her voice was stern it was betrayed by the smile resting on her face, “Thank you for that. Ahem, whether you’re family, friends, or family that has yet to be connected.”

Robin’s eyes scanned throughout the hall, spotting the friends and allies she’s collected over the years. Mostly old Haven students, though the occasional Atlassian jawline and upright posture, along with the rough and tumbled sight of a Vacuo native, break through the crowd here and there. Robin could even spot a Valen crest on some guests. Her eyes lock on Marron’s parents, sitting comfortably in a corner table close to their own. Marian sat with her hands clasped together, a loving expression on her face as she looks up to her daughter, who was speaking off to the side to a mutual friend of her and Robin. Bruan, who has since lost the color to his hair over these past few years nodded in approval, a kind smile on his face.

“I would like to especially thank some friends,” Robin continued, “I understand some of you may have rivalries with those from other schools, or maybe even rivalries on a more personal level. But the fact that you all came together today to celebrate with Marron and I means the world,”

“And of course,” Robin’s posture slumped, a smirk spreading across her face, very reminiscent of her old ways, “We can always settle those rivalries today, it’s not a Lincoln party without any sparring involved.”

The room burst into cheers again as the Lincoln clan exploded with excitement, butting heads and starting to chant an old war song. Even the Hunters and Huntresses got involved, Robin could’ve sworn she even spotted Braun rotate his shoulder and smile, clearly prepared for an arm wrestling match of a lifetime. Robin couldn’t help but laugh as Marron grumpily chastised her for causing such a ruckus, and how her pleas to the crowd went unheard due to their excitement. 

“And to finish it off,” Robin spoke as the noise died down, regaining her serious demeanor and picking up her glass in a toast, “Enjoy this, it is rare that Remnant gets to see such merriment. Rarer still that such a group comes together to partake in it. So I ask you, to enjoy every last drop of this moment. For our sake.”

“Our dear Robin has certainly grown,” A woman clad in a beautiful red dress speaks to her companion over the clapping crowd from the furthest edge of Robin’s side of the table, “Wouldn’t you agree, Irving?”

“Mmm, Akane,” Irving answered only with a nod, looking over at the waving couple, “To think, it would be Robin to marry first. I had assumed it would be you.”

“Oh hah,” Akane scoffed, though her smile acknowledged his humor as she took a glass of wine to her lips, “Being the youngest captain of the Mistral Council Guard puts a bit of a wrench in the way of romantics, people tend to find me intimidating. Besides, fewer distractions the better.”

Irving could only laugh, Akane had hardly changed over the years, though he must admit he feels the same too. He begins to scan through the crowd and hall alike, intently searching for a familiar face within the mass of people. It wasn’t until he spotted an open door along the side of the hall that he stood up from his seat, causing Akane to follow his trail of vision as well. She held no surprise when realizing just what he was looking for.

“Go,” She waved her hand dismissively as Irving stepped out from behind the table, “I suppose you only have a few moments alone before Robin bombards you both.”

“You’re saying that as if you won’t do the same,” Irving glances over his shoulder with a grin, one that Akane could only roll her eyes at. 

The crowd made it slightly difficult to get to the side door, several people even stop Irving to speak with him for a few moments. His patience had thankfully made incredible progress over the years and many were understanding when he said he wished to speak to someone specifically. Despite all that, it still took several minutes to get out the side door and on to the balcony it separated from the hall. The noise and banter was muted out here, and after closing the door was surprisingly nearly silent.

“Knew exactly where to find me,” A petite woman with shoulder-length black hair spoke from where she stood leaning over the balcony railing, a pair of dog-like ears flicking up from the top of her head, the left one bore a V-shaped cut along its edge, “Huh Irving?”

“Well,” Irving turned from the door and stepped over to her side, resting his heavy arms on the railing as well, “You were never much for crowds, Nyssa.”

“Hmph,” Nyssa let out a small chuckle, looking down to her hands with an almost embarrassed set of eyes, “Yeah, I suppose I haven’t changed too much, is that a bad thing?”

“I don’t think so,” Irving turned his head to look at his old teammate, the once adorable Nyssa Noirette was now someone whose beauty was arguably the greatest he had ever seen, “I think you’ve always been wonderful. From then, to now.”

“How could you say that,” Her voice nearly trembled, the suddenness of this taking Irving by surprise, “After I left you guys to the Braiths, and even after RAIN reconnected the way I treated you was just-”

“Enough, Nyssa,” Irving’s voice was calm, gentle enough to make her relax from her sudden outburst. He watched on as she slumped over the railing, intently watching the land below. He had long since forgiven and understood her reason for leaving the team during the time they were dealing with the Braiths, and even after RAIN finally split to go their respective separate ways they occasionally found themselves working together, throughout these meetings Irving realized the longing sensation in his heart wouldn’t be resolved without her, “You treated me the way you felt I deserved. Hell, in all honestly I think I deserved it too.”

“Have you met anyone,” Nyssa’s question was nearly inaudible, there was an aching hollowness to her voice as the words fumbled out. Irving stood there, shocked at the fact Nyssa would ask such a thing.

“Hmmm,” He thought for a moment, the silence between them seemed to drag on for an eternity, “I have.”

Nyssa stood up straight in an instant, her hands gripping tightly to the railing of the balcony to the point of nearly turning white. Despite the attempt to hide her face away from him, Irving could see her lips nearly trembling as she made several attempts to speak. It took a moment until any success came about. 

“Oh,” Her voice was hardly a squeak, it trembled as bad as the lips it came from, “Is she nice?”

“She’s wonderful,” Irving placed a hand on Nyssa’s shoulder, the small dog faunus looked as if she had seen a ghost, her ears on high alert, “I met her years ago. I failed at my attempt to treat her properly then, but.”

Nyssa turned to face Irving, her eyes drifting upward to lock into his own, a glossy coat of tears turning them into shining diamonds in the sun’s warm setting rays. Irving quickly became speechless as he looked down into her face, which has withstood the test of time and remained as kind and innocent as it was all those years ago.

“But,” He continued, slowly leaning down, inching his face closer and closer to hers, Nyssa’s lips parted as she clung to every word, “I feel as though I have another chance, and I intend to do good on i-”

The pair quickly jerked upward and stepped apart as the door to the balcony was kicked open, the loud booming and cheers from inside becoming as clear as day now.

“Ay, you two know the party’s in there, right?”

“I’m sorry Irving,” Akane stepped out onto the balcony, joined by Marron and Robin, “I did give you fair warning. Hello Nyssa.”

“Akane, Robin,” Nyssa folded her hands over her chest and smiled at the sight of old friends, giving off a small laugh at Irving’s muttering, “It’s wonderful to see you, you as well Marron.”

“So,” Robin carefully shut the doors, and joined her teammates in leaning against the balcony, “You missed it, we got a video call from the new Beacon Headmistress and her assistant, we got a ~personal~ congratulations.”

“Amazing,” Irving commented, apparently now forgiving their intrusion as he turns to face the sunset off in the distance, “How’d you manage that one?”

“Well, let me start with,” Robin began with a smile, but her excitement died down after a stern look from Marron, “Ehh...ahem, story for another day I suppose. Long story short, Marron and I fought some Grimm on behalf of Beacon while they were rebuilding. Big favor, you know?”

“You’ve fought Grimm?”

Nyssa’s eyes widened in amazement, even Akane was quite surprised. Marron only smiled and raised her hand, a ring shone magnificently in the sunset.

“Of course I’ve fought Grimm,” Marron gloated, though no one minded, Robin rested her head upon her newlywed’s shoulder, “I’m a Lincoln now. We’re a tough bunch.”

“That you are,” Irving spoke out with a hearty laugh, “That you certainly are.”

The lot of them stared off the balcony for quite some time in silence, mentally reminiscing among themselves times long past, wondering what new adventures will approach them after this. Be it protecting the Council, their new family and blood-right land, or even going simply where the wind takes them, RAIN understands they’ll always have a connection with each other. That was an agreement each one made in their mind.

“Happy birthday Irving,” Nyssa gently placed her hand over his, he looked down at it in a shocked silence, “What? Did you think I would forget?”

“No...no,” Irving shifted his hand over and slowly closed his fingers around Nyssa’s, “I just, I hadn’t even thought about it. My birthday doesn’t mean too much anymore since all those years ago when the Braiths took-”

“We had our wedding on your BIRTHDAY,” Marron’s voice cried out and interrupted all trains of thought around her, her face red with embarrassment, “Oh no oh no I’m so sorry I didn’t know! If I did I would have made sure to pick another date so it wouldn’t have conflicted with anything and and and and-”

“I’ll just,” Robin shook her head as she pushed Marron back towards the doorway and into the hall, she spoke looking over her shoulder back to her old friends, “Take this little mess out of here.”

“I’ll join you,” Akane stood up from the railing and followed suit, “I believe they’d like to resume a moment anyway.”

Both Irving and Nyssa watched as their old teammates disappeared into the chaos that is only befitting of a party full of Lincoln blood. The two stood as a warm breeze flew by them, signaling the days end as the sun says its final goodbyes.

“So,” Irving tries his best to play it cool, though his face is blushed as much as Nyssa’s, “Where were we?”

“Oh for goodness sake,” Nyssa shook her head and reached up, placing her hands firmly on the sides of Irving’s face, gently pulling him down to eye level, “Shut up and kiss me you oaf.”

And so they did.

well now we HAVE to see this in the comic

even if it’s only an imagine-spot

Just designing for funsies by making the most ridiculous and out of character design I can think of.

@neopoliitan

“Otaku Akane” and “Irving the Dork”

[mercurryblack]

Waitaminute. PLUM is your team? Do you have any info on them?

You bet I do haha

Here’s a better look at the four of them:

Clockwise from upper left: Plum Shantung, Lychee Nolina, Mei Xanadu, and Umecho Sekinetsu.

As a team, they share a theme regarding allusions; they’re each inspired by a female character from one of China’s Four Great Folktales. (True to form, @neopoliitan and I also came up with a team that alludes to their male romantic counterparts.)

Plum — Zhinü (The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl)

Lychee — Bai Suzhen (Legend of the White Snake)

Umecho — Zhu Yingtai (Butterfly Lovers)

Mei — Meng Jiang (Lady Meng Jiang)

Now, as to their characterizations:

Plum, despite being the leader of the team, is ironically the least developed in my mind. All I’ve got on her is “Usagi Tsukino but in RWBY” — maybe that’s enough for now, since it’s not like I’m going to make a full story around PLUM or anything. I do know that in terms of abilities, she’s the most well-rounded of the team, about the same tier as Jin-Shi Pan. Her weapons are a pair of hook swords.

Lychee’s the twin(?) sister of an upcoming RAIN character, but the two are estranged. A lot of her personality comes from @neopoliitan’s suggestions in the DMs — she’s kind of bossy and might be resentful of Plum being the leader instead of her, though I don’t think she’s outright mean (it’s more like she feels she has something to prove). Her weapon is a rope dart.

Umecho’s the little sister of a RAIN character we’ve already seen — Makkuro Sekinetsu, the Amaranths’ bodyguard/mentor and Vytal champion. It stands to reason that Umecho might feel like she has a lot to live up to, and feel a good degree of pressure as a result. She seems like she’d be friendly, though. Her weapon is a pair of butterfly swords (naturally) that transform into a composite bow.

Mei… oh boy, Mei. Despite her youth and small frame, Mei’s packing physical strength on par with Pecan, but she’s as dumb as a sack full of sledgehammers. She’s another little sister of a RAIN character — Ming Xanadu, the realtor who sold Akane the house back in Arc 3 (remember him?) Her weapon is a pair of tekkō knuckledusters.

TEAM RAIN: ARC 4 CH7 - THOUGH THE HEAVENS FALL (PART 2)

A WRITE UP FOR THE REST OF TEAM RAIN: CHAPTER 7b

There's a lot of content warnings in this one; murder, abuse, torture, blood, the whole nine yards, so... be aware of that before diving in. This is some of the edgiest shit I've written.

ARC 4 CHAPTER 7: THOUGH THE HEAVENS FALL (Part 2)

Part 1 is here. You'll need to refresh yourself.

In a flashback, Kamala Braith is born from the PRISM. Lucius Braith cradles her in his arms.

We cut to several x-rays and tests being run as present-day Lucius narrates that they had been successful on the first run. Kamala was healthy, and even possessed advantages over a naturally born child. For one, her aura was active from birth - which he puts down to his own being active when he injected it into the PRISM to create her.

He notes her drawbacks, too - she became sickly for a time, and had even more heightened emotions due to the trauma of her gestation and birth from a machine. 

Past-Lucius becomes greedy, and decides he has to try again. In a paranoia he casts his team aside and works alone, throwing himself completely into his endeavour. This is to his detriment, as his lack of second opinion causes him to miss something in his amendments to the PRISM, leaving Gardner Braith in a constant state of draining aura.

“I longed for the perfect result, ignorant of the lives I was carelessly bringing into the world.”

We cut forward to a military convoy advancing upon Zenith as Lucius, Kamala (4), Gardner (3), Sterling (1) and Viola (newborn) watch. Out of the leading truck steps General Boris Northwind, the newly decided leader of Mantle and Atlas. 

“Boris Northwind - Atlas’s newly elected General. A man whose nationalism had won the hearts of a public sick to their stomach of the distrust Atlas was shown by other kingdoms. A man who had ousted those who had approved my projects and replaced them with his warlike allies. A man who now had access to all redacted knowledge about Zenith, and he had his own designs.”

Lucius and General Northwind meet in Lucius’s office. Boris demands that they use PRISM technology to create a home-grown army, stronger than the average man, but Lucius refuses to let his research intersect with defense or war. Boris is incredulous.

“Since becoming General of this Kingdom I have heard things that would make your head spin. If you knew what was out there - what was really out there - and that it is coming, you would militarize this operation in five minutes!”

Lucius responds that he will not let his research into creating life be used to end it, but in doing so seals his fate.

“It’s not your research.” Northwind responds. Lucius is taken aback.

“I’ve read the documents - documents that you signed. They declare that everything in these walls is property of the Kingdom of Mantle - the Kingdom of Atlas. Rossi’s Talos androids, the PRISM… those four… creations of yours.”

Lucius sees the writing on the wall, but refuses to give in. Guards restrain him, and Northwind says to have him escorted back to Mantle. As he is dragged down a hallway, Lucius turns to Kamala and cries out to her that he will return for them - to wait for him, but he is blocked from her view by Northwind, who sidles in front of her, rests a hand on her shoulder, and tells her they have work to do.

This is where it gets bad.

--

We cut back to the present, with Teams RAIN and PALM in Lucius’s cave. 

Robin asks why he never went back, and he old man explains that Northwind’s cronies found a bogus prison sentence, leaving him to rot in a cell for years. He was only released two decades after, during an administration after Northwind’s - they couldn’t find records of a Lucius Braith existing, let alone his prison sentence.

Robin then goes on to ask; “They were just kids when that happened - and there were only four of them. How did they go so bad, and how were the other three even born without you?”

And Lucius responds “Each of my children contains a hint of my aura - and through that, a faint connection to me. On occasion, mostly through dreams, I felt their memories and emotions as my own. While I may have been in prison, I experienced the rest of the story in spirit.”

--

Desperate for solutions, Northwind intended to use the PRISM to birth a ‘disposable’ army he could throw at the source of his paranoia.

We see Northwind, clearly stressed about something - clearly afraid - as he rests his head against the PRISM. 

Lucius explains; “The PRISM was hardwired to only accept my aura pattern. He didn’t know that, of course - he only knew that he had three remaining samples to work with…”

Northwind turns to Kamala, Gardner, Sterling and Viola.

“...So he focused on the children themselves. If he couldn't make something in his image, he would warp that which had been made in mine. My children were once harmless… but Northwind wanted his super soldiers. He did whatever he could to make them fight.”

We see Northwind snatching Sterling’s teddy bear from him (the same one from Arc 3, Chapter 10), and gives it to Viola, who hugs it.

“They were so delicate… So malleable…”

Sterling’s face twists into a mask of anger.

“…So unstable…”

We cut forward again. The Braiths are a little older now. Gardner’s aura is flaring, and he is clearly in pain.

“When they refused to fight each other, they were subjected to far worse pain than what they could inflict upon each other. They were pitted against each other, manipulated… drained and betrayed and they were just children. Children suffering what no one in the universe should have to.”

Northwind opens the PRISM again. His minions have cracked the code - though only slightly. They use what trace amounts were left of Lucius’s aura, and produce Zelena, Viorel and Tahlia.

We then see Kamala in the same cell the Lincolns were held in. She’s likely not even ten, but there are scratches and dried blood on the wall. Her arms are covered in surgical scars, where scientists have examined her biological makeup to see how similar she is to a “real” human.

“Between the torture, the manipulation, the starvation and the surgery, Northwind had taken my children and attempted to fashion them into weapons. He just had to pull the trigger…

…But he didn't realise how good of a job he had done.”

And again we flash forward. 

Northwind and some of his goons are sitting in the same boardroom from Arc 3, Chapter 1. A large portrait of Northwind himself sits behind it, a monument to his ego yet also his ignorance of the horrors he has committed on these children simply by the merit of how they were born. Kamala, now around ten to twelve, is serving as his cupbearer. An advisor is cradling the newborn Tahlia, whilst the other five Braiths are lined up against the wall like statues, awaiting any sort of command or punishment.

Kamala pours Northwind a drink, but twitches while doing so. Northwind reprimands her, which one of his advisors actually speaks up against; noting that the General is not winning these childrens’ loyalty. Northwind ignores this, claiming he has brought them to heel and his “soldiers” will do as they are told. He won an election, he can win Braith’s creations.

Northwind commands Kamala to fetch their food. Kamala hesitates. Then she twitches again. Then Northwind slaps her hard enough that she hits the floor. The advisor speaks out again.

“Boris, she's a child!”

“It's not anything! They're all nothing! And I have had it up to here with their hesitancy!”

Northwind commands his guards to escort the Braiths down to level eight, and that they “know what to do.” He commands Kamala to get up, and she mumbles as she cradles her face.

“When… When… my father comes home… when my family…”

Northwind laughs, a booming, terrible laugh from the stomach. 

“That's what you think this is?” He turns to his advisors. “Get a load of this! It doesn't know its place in the world -- it doesn't know where it came from.” 

He gets on Kamala’s eye level. “Maybe that's why you're so hard to housebreak. So let me put this in little words you'll be able to understand.

“You have no family. You are an experiment. You are merely the result of Lucius Braith creating a substitute for humanity in times of war, and humanity needs things to be this way.

“You are here to serve Mantle. The men, women and children will not have to lay down their lives when we can send drones such as yourself.

“You are a crash test dummy. You are not alive, your feelings are not real. Whatever you may have thought you felt… It's all just programming. Code. Read my lips:

“You're. Not. Real.”

Kamala freezes. Her eyes glaze over. Something tugs at the corners of her lips, and slowly her mouth warps into a smile - but the rest of her face isn’t smiling, it’s just absent.

Northwind draws himself up to his full height and turns back to his advisors. He begins to talk, but Kamala speaks again.

“When I was younger, my father used to read me stories. Once, he told me a story of a bridge. An old bridge that would be beaten and damaged by the travelers who crossed it. No one cared for it, and no one maintained it. People just took advantage.”

“What in the world are you talking about…?” Northwind asks incredulously, but Kamala continues.

“One day, the bridge was very weak. A large party attempted to cross it during a storm - it was the only bridge for miles around - and it couldn’t take the strain. Eventually, it collapsed and all those who had neglected to take care of it fell into the river, lost to the storm and the current. After so much, the bridge just… snapped. And they all fell down. But it was okay, you see? Because in their idiocy and self interest they had failed to do right by what they had created. It was all fine.”

She looks up at Northwind, her eyes finally focusing on something for the first time since he told her she was not real - and perhaps the first time she truly saw existence for what she now believes it is.

“Because… Well… because they deserved to die.”

In a single, swift movement, Kamala springs forth like an animal, tears a butter knife from the conference room table, and jams it into Northwind’s collarbone. A blunt weapon, it doesn’t hurt him much, but the weight of her leaping into him while he was so sure he had her “trained” is enough to knock him into the table, winding him, and sending them both tumbling to the floor. 

We see Kamala’s face now. It’s the same face she pulled on Viola at the end of Arc 2 as she screams through an expression that barely opens its lips. 

“AND YOU WANT TO TELL ME I’M NOT REAL--? NOT REAL--?”

Kamala attacks Boris again and again with the knife, eventually landing it in his eye or his cheek. Boris commands her to stop, but she grows more feral, scratching at him with her nails, tearing into his flesh with her teeth. Eventually she bites into the soft flesh of his throat, and his commands turn to pleas of mercy.

“IS THIS REAL ENOUGH?! YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND WHAT REAL IS!”

The guards advance and level their weapons at the girl, but they don’t realise their mistake in leaving the other Braiths unattended. Seeing their comrade finally snap, they recognise their opening and do what they were trained to do. Sterling is the first. He wrenches a pipe from the wall and swings it at the nearest guard, who crumples to the floor. Raising it above his head, the boy screams “I'M GOING TO KILL ALL OF YOU--! YOU TOOK EVERYTHING AWAY FROM ME!”

The other guard turns to subdue him, but Viola is quick to retrieve the downed guard’s weapon and kill him with it. 

The advisor cradling Tahlia runs for the door, but we see Viorel nonchalantly locking it and turning to look blankly at them. From behind, we hear Gardner say “Give me the baby.”

We cut to Zelena, who has mounted the conference table and is stabbing someone in the face, screaming “You get everything AND WE HAVE NOTHING!” through tears.

The room is in carnage. Adults are being slain by the children they made into warriors. They did their job too well.

As the chaos draws to an end - the other Braiths becoming exhausted, at least - Kamala stands up, her face and body covered with Northwind’s blood. Through his shredded throat, Northwind makes one final plea.

“For the good of your kingdom… for the good of the world… stop…”

Kamala looks at him, unflinching.

“Your kingdom. Your world.”

Northwind dies. The other Braiths gather around Kamala. Gardner is carrying Tahlia in his arms; she slept through it all.

Zelena asks what they do, and Kamala says they’ll make “them” pay. “Everything we’ve been through… they thought it was all a lie, or they didn’t care. They stood by and let us suffer for their stupid Mantle.

“We’ll show them they were so wrong to do what they did. They’ll feel the pain we felt and more. We’ll take everything they cared about and turn it to dust like they did to us.

“When they’re on their knees, they’ll beg for mercy like we did… …we’ll make them wish they never crawled out of the tidepool. And only then will they finally understand that this is kindness.”

Viorel asks, “You propose we take back the world with only seven children?”

Kamala smirks ask her aura flares. “Viorel… you underestimate what they turned us into.

We could take back the world with one.”

--

Back to the present. Lucius clasps a cup, his hands shaking. He tells Teams RAIN & PALM that his children have been plotting ever since. He feels “their rage, their hate, their hunger, their envy.” It was all he could do to delete all knowledge of Zenith when he was released so that he might keep them isolated - keep them “safe.”

He knows they won’t understand, but they are his children and it pains him to think what might happen when his visitors inevitably arrive at Zenith. He also knows he can’t convince them to turn away, knowing how much of a threat his children are, but he begs them not to make them suffer if it comes to it.

Nyssa pipes up and asks why he never returned to Zenith after being freed. Lucius smiles weakly and explains that as much as he loves his children, he fears them more. He only made it as far as his self-imposed exile between Faraday and Zenith - shame stopped him from turning back, cowardice kept him from continuing on.

His disposition becomes more steely, then, and he stands up. He announces the storm has cleared, and tells his visitors they should go. To keep the sun to their east and aim for a notch between two mountains. 

Aware they have outstayed their welcome, RAIN and PALM pour out of the cave. Robin turns back and tells Lucius she’s sorry for all that has happened. He simply scoffs “Not as much as I.”

RAIN and PALM depart for Zenith, their final destination, but we continue to linger on the image of Lucius Braith, as he slowly sits down in front of the fire again, and runs his hands down his face.

--

We then see all seven Braiths in the elevator that leads down to the PRISM, Kamala at the front of the pack. They walk single-file across the gantry as their leader and eldest sibling explains her plan;

“We know they’re coming, and while we’ll win, we have to plan for the future. Making them pay might take longer than any of our lifetimes, so we have to keep the cause going. We refuse to be snuffed out.”

She gently runs her hand across the PRISM. “I would do it alone, but alone we are only equal to a seventh of… him. So we need to do this together. Just put your hands in the holes.”

All except Tahlia do as they are told, until she is encouraged by Gardner. Closest to the control panel, Viorel flicks a switch. All seven have a piece of their aura sliced for the machine - a machine that only responds to Lucius’s biological imprint, a seventh of which exists in each of them.

As they all clutch their arms in pain - except, of course, Sterling - Kamala produces the most genuine smile she has given in the story and turns to Viorel with only one thing to say as the machine hums to life;

“And now it begins.”

[bustin-a-hazelnut]

So basically @neopoliitan‘s last post has made me feel very strongly about the Amaranth family (the kids especially), so I now need my own post to sort out all the new information.

Let me begin by saying, I used to believe based off this post, that the Amaranth family only boasts five children; today’s comic proved me wrong. I went on to get some clarifications, and well...

Two times more kids - two times more fun, am I right?..

Needless to say, I did some further searching, and this post basically turned into my personal masterlist of Amaranth children. Those are mostly personal opinions and/or speculations, but again, my feelings in regards to them are strong & plentiful. Without further ado, naturally, the list opens with our beloved girl:

1. Akane Amaranth, 19

The oldest of the brood & really needs no introduction from me. A well-deserved favorite of Rain’s fanbase, among other things working on gradually rescuing her sister’s from their toxic household. As of late, her character arc has been (much to my joy) associated with William Lincoln’s, whom I assume will play a part in this encounter. The type of person he is, I wouldn’t put it past him to voice some unsavory truths to the face of Akane’s parents, with unpredictable consequences. With her own emotions & experiences in the mix, as well as the actual purpose of the visit, Akane’s got quite some development ahead of her. Not great for her - but a treat for us as viewers.

Her name in Japanese means “deep red, dye from the rubia plant”.

2. Miyako Amaranth, 18

Having been neither introduced nor mentioned in the actual comic, still a personal favorite Amaranth of mine. She’s gotten a great characterization from another Rain’s fan ( @infinitree )  here, which was approved by Neopoliitan. I don’t loose hope for her to make an appearance & shine somewhere in the future posts.

Even though she may not be too relevant for the plot right now, I see great potential for an inner, personal character arc with her. The idea for her character, from what I can tell, is that she’s always coped with her parents’ harshness & constant demands by becoming more withdrawn, apathetic, to the point of neglecting her own needs. Having gone so far down that path has damaged her in more subtle ways, than outright abuse - she’s basically traded it for neglect, and internalized it to the point of not caring enough to defend her needs & individuality, & eventually sorta loosing herself. This is actually rather dark, when you think about it, but I do believe there’s hope for Miyako. Her connection to her sisters, especially Ayano, whom she’s got a deep bond with, is a sliver of her identity that hasn’t been taken from her. It can also become the reason for her to find herself again & start caring more. She is in a strange place right now, and not in a good way, but I have faith in her.

Her name in Japanese means “beautiful” & “night”.

3. Nanako Amaranth, 17

Much like Akane, needs no introduction, having been a part of the plot for quite a while. Just as her elder sisters, this girl has all of my love, especially for her friendship with Tobin, even though the “wicked poo” line did play a part as well (which I Refuse to treat as anything other, than a reference to TTGOT S2 AU & Alanna Snow). It would be hard to guess by her upbeat personality, that she had to withstand more of her mother’s abuse, than possibly any of her siblings. This encounter is going to be a challenge for her, but I believe, that over the course of her life outside home, she’s gained the means to hold her own. She’s part of a team, a valued & great friend, a warrior, a huntressd & living proof, that neither what you’ve suffered, nor the people who’ve hurt you define you. She is going to overcome this, I have no doubt.

Her name in Japanese means "vegetables or greens".

4. Kasumi Amaranth, 16

A bit of a mystery at our hands, this one. No appearance or mention in the comic, no wiki page & the search through @neopoliitan came up dry. Her mention at Akane’s wiki page is the only indication of this girl’s very existence. There is little more to do than wait for further information on her, but as far as theories go - I wonder if she could exhibit a less positive personality, than her siblings? So far, all the Amaranth children we know of, that got somewhat characterized have exhibited different traits, yet, despite their home situation, I would describe all of them as well-meaning gals, even with their share of quirks & struggles. It’s not unreasonable to assume, that at least one of them would be affected more severely by their toxic parents - and have it shape them into a somewhat troubled person.

Her name in Japanese means “mist”.

5. Akiko Amaranth, 15

Her arrogant demeanor & the status of her father’s protege could lead to mistaking Akiko as someone who’s “sided with the abuser” in their family (a parallel to Whitley Schnee, someone who copes with abuse by submitting to his father). Another characterization post, however, suggests that she is actually far more than meets the eye. There’s this duality in her - outward brightness, determination & desire for leadership, wich is exactly what her parents expected; & hidden intent to use her future position for good, refusal to reject her sisters, who’ve been cast aside by her mother. This kind of characterization is an honest to god breath of fresh air - ambition & confidence, that is treated as a positive thing, not a sign of corruption. By Neo’s own words, she’s like a “good Whitley”, which is a fantastic character concept. I’m looking forward for anything she could have up her sleeve.

Her name in Japanese means “bright, sparkle” & “autumn”.

6. Sakura Amaranth, 14

Another kid we know virtually nothing about - and so far there isn’t much to theorize from. Sakura’s placed near her mother & appears relaxed, suggesting she isn’t in Yukiko’s bad graces. My two main guesses of why could that be are - either she’s just naturally inclined to obey & accept her parents’ way of seeing things; or she’s learned how to bypass them in her own ways. I find the second guess to be more interesting - while she can’t run away like Akane & Nanako, but can’t be up to her parent’s standards the way Akiko is or detach herself like Miyako, she could’ve developed a great ability to lie & manipulate, perhaps even in malicious ways, like shifting the blame onto her sisters in case of a screw up. I know this is really far-fetched, and I’m honestly just having fun coming up with those ideas at this point. One more option is her being a fave of Yukiko for some personal reason & therefore spared from mistreatment. 

I also find it interesting, that other than Nanako, who is shown gradually dyeing her hair throughout the comic, Sakura is the only one not to share the natural Amaranth hair color so far. Who knows if it’s just a reference to her name’s meaning, or some symbolism, like her not sharing the family values deep inside, but not letting it show in her demeanor... Idek, I honestly meant for this to be shorter.

Her name in Japanese means “cherry blossom”.

7. Natsuki Amaranth, 12 

She displays a strong, blunt personality from her first seconds on screen & strikes me as kind of a tomboy. I can’t imagine Yukiko being tolerant of such demeanor - and I can easily see Natsuki fighting back relentlessly against her reign. She probably took Nanako’s place as a punching bag not long after the latter left, and now her relationship with Akane parallels the one latter had with Nan. By the way Natsuki immediately gets to the subject of leaving, it’s clear how much this life affects her. It probably greatly exacerbates her naturally blunt personality - she’s got no time for affection or chatter, getting away is priority number one. I’m not sure how much of it is Natsuki’s “normal” character & how much - emotional damage from her parents, but at this point, it is hard not to assume the worst.

Her name in Japanse can mean “vegetables or greens” & “moon” or “summer” & “hope”. Interestingly, the name is considered unisex, though more commonly used by women.

8. Ayano Amaranth, 9

Getting close to the end here, and moving on to the actually small children of the fam, Ayano is a welcome change as an example of an Amaranth daughter, who’s actually getting to be a kid more (again, according to a previously established characterization). I particularly love the idea of her & Miyako being mutually close - it’s hard to tell which one of them needs it more. It’s also good to know, that Miyako’s efforts to shelter her haven’t been in vain & she actually seems to be okay around her mother, despite having a personality, that would naturally grate on her. Then again, kids can be rather perceptive, so maybe Ayano instinctively holds back her more unruly side in Yukiko’s presence & reserves poking & prodding for her sisters. She may know something isn’t right deep inside, and adjust her behavior, so as not to become another target for her mother.

Her name in Japanese means “of color; from love”.

9. Hana Amaranth, 6

Another mentioned-only character, with no face attached yet; at the age of six, I’d be glad to know that she is kept away from the family’s shenanigans & simply enjoys being a kid. Not much to theorize from here - will have to wait & see if she’ll make an appearance, and what her place in the family hierarchy is going to be. 

Her very existence to me raises a question of why Yukiko would choose to have another child, when there is no need for a specifically male heir, as Akiko has been selected for that role. We get to know, that she has no actual love for her children - so what could drive her to have more? Family’s reputation, desire for more control, or perhaps Aka Amaranth comes into play at last? He’s been barely mentioned here due to my lack of knowledge about him, but judging by his appearance on the poster, he is about to play a big role in this arc. Gonna have to wait and see. 

Her name in Japanese means “flower”.

10. Baby Amaranth, ~1

A literal baby, basically raising the same questions as Hana did a paragraph ago. I’m going to spare this one from my dark theories & let her chill for now, observing the reunion from a safe distance. Being a 10th child is no piece of cake even in most benevolent of families, so let’s all just give her a break for now. She’s still got all the time in the world to grow up & eventually develop her personal brand of the Amaranth Badassery.

Game, set, and match (a.k.a. “beware the anger of a gentle Marron”). Time will tell whether this is the end, though.

Speaking of... holy moly, has it really been a year since the last installment?

Berikut adalah beberapa alasannya kenapa makanan jaman sekarang cenderung membahayakan kesehatan usus: 

Banyak yang memiliki kandungan MSG atau penyedap rasa.

Banyak makanan yang memiliki kandungan lemak diatas rata-rata.

Banyak daging olahan yang memiliki kandungan penambah hormon untuk proses pembesaran hewan ternak.

Bahkan sayuran yang dikatakan sebagai makanan yang menyehatkan juga memiliki kandungan berbahaya seperti pestisida maupun pupuk kimia. 

Semua zat-zat berbahaya yang ada di dalam makanan tersebut tidak bisa diserap oleh tubuh. Karena tidak bisa diserap, secara otomatis zat-zat tersebut terus menumpuk di dalam usus.

Selain untuk menurunkan berat badan, Flimty adalah fiber multifungsi yang juga memiliki banyak khasiat untuk:

Menambah daya tahan tubuh dan menjaga kesehatan agar tubuh Anda selalu dalam kondisi Prima.

Membersihkan usus dari toxin/racun dan menjaga kesehatan Saluran pencernaan Anda.
