"Meet Me On The Battlefield" is officially the theme song for my bad-future-timeline Rise April and Donnie

“I’m older than all of you!” Casey declares gleefully.

“YOU HAVE EXISTED FOR ONE WEEK, YOU MYSTICAL ABOMINATION. BE SILENT.”

“Okay, so I’m not older than Grunkle Barry—“

“DO NOT CALL ME THAT. Whose idea was… MICHELANGELO—“

Casey laughs and laughs.

thanks again to @plothooksinc who saved me from the perils inherent in changing tenses

A training exercise goes very wrong.

beta-read by the one and only @plothooksinc , who 1) saved readers from a bunch of tense errors and also a very unwieldy bit in chapter two, and 2) is the reason this does not get the “no beta we die like gram-gram” tag. mixed bag here. <3

Draxum stares into his mug of tea and ponders the merits of searching those Hamato texts for a ritual to travel back in time and stop his foolish self from getting involved in this nonsense.

Still, it was a minor issue compared to the way that Casey Jones continued to physically exist.

The great Baron Draxum’s questions were not half as important as phoning in a pizza order.

Casey wakes up to several unfamiliar teenagers screaming. It’s only natural that he joins in. It’s less natural, more of a trained reaction, to rev his chainsaw hockey stick to life in the same motion as he’s hefting it to wield against whatever the kids are screaming about. (The teens scream louder as he does it. Later, he’ll figure out why, and be appalled that they weren’t hefting weapons of their own when faced with threat. Lousy teenagers.)
