Cool! I like the character development of Xan, and some of you ideas for the monsters. I enjoyed this chapter even more than the last one. But I have got a question -what do these other characters look like?
Another tip though, is just that if there's any way around repeating a word when it's near to the sentence (or in the same sentence) when you originally used the word, it helps the sentences to flow. Sometimes you can get around that by calling it something else -for example, here's a random sentence using your mole monster:
'The mole monster roared in agony as Shia struck it. The terrible beast lurched towards Shia, trying to kill him before he did any more damage.' So sometimes it's just a matter of changing its name to a description of it -mole monster could become monster, beast, creature, etc.

Yeah, that's right. I haven't submitted any Xan, Jason, or Tajco drawings. I'll have to get on that.
Thanks for the tips. heh.
I'm going to start the next chapter now.

Very good story ^^
I do have some suggestions if you would like to listen ^^:;;
When your doing your description of emotion like Shian felt aggravated etc often it's better to let their actions describe their emotion such as:
insteand of Shian feels aggravated maybe something like, "Shian grit his teeth." a
the only other thing i saw was you used the same would alot sometimes, such as "charged" but other then that good story so far ^^

That's cool; it's great to read more. I'll have to comment a little later in more detail, though, since I need to get moving. Just posting to let you know that I've read and enjoyed it. ^_^
<EDIT>All right I'm back.
I noticed that you've mixed up the sentence starters a little more ("...Before the bullets hit the computer...", "Everything started going at normal..."). I'd like to see that a little more, but it's still good. I also liked the way you used 'commanded', 'gasped' and 'exclaimed' instead of 'said' all the time.
. It was great to read more, and I liked some of the moves you described. Your names are cool too -Xan, Shia, Trap, etc. You also wrote your speech well too, in a way that made it interesting rather than just explanatory.
Great writing. Keep it up!

That's cool -it's a really interesting story that just seems to build as time goes on. I like the flash backs too; it makes a story interesting when you switch time zones.

Another cool chapter!
I noticed you put 'semi' instead of 'semi-automatic'; IMHO, if you put the full word it helps people understand it better, since not everyone will know what you mean by semi.
Great!

Thanks for the comment.

Oh and, I've edited the most notable mistakes (Warrior 4 Jesus).
So you don't have to point out the really bad ones including the end to Xan's segment.

Cool, lots more!
You're bringing out more excellent characters, character designs, and ideas. I'm really enjoying it. ^_^

What?!! I didn't say anything about editing! Did I? Anyway, I love your ideas and characters. Great work! How long are you planning this story to be? (roughly)

LOL!
I said that because I noticed you were reading (that thing on the bottom that shows who is viewing the thread), and there was this REALLY bad, embarrasing mistake near the end of Xan's episode segment. I just KNEW the first person who saw that was going to mention it. heheh.
Yeah.... It was that bad...
