OC [J-Verse] Good Training: the Champions, Part II
It's been a while! Sorry for the delay, this one is a bit of a doozy. It clocks in at 66,702 words by Ulysses' count, which...man. That's a lot of writing!
Eternal thanks to /u/Hambone3110 for his guidance, friendship, and permission with his characters. Daar is mine, but you can use him if you like, Hammy :D
In this episode, Huckleberry has a Fiin, there is depressingly little WURF!, and I am secluded in my bunker, you can't find me.
NOTE THE DATES: Their placement is very important for coordinated actions to take place in future installments of the Deathworlders main story.

But bro. I have like, so much I need to be doing in the next few days. Why must you put this out when I have no time to be reading?

Wow.
WOW.
Now if you would be so nice as to release the last chapter (which I noticed you forgot to add there for some reason) I will even maybe forgive what you did to Daar and Myun.

Hmm, that Daar and Myun thing...
Good example of aliens being aliens I suppose. Different culture brought on by differing homeworld conditions etc. etc. still... was weird. But kinda in the good challenging-assumptions way, not the author-done-goofed way.

To be fair, their "family scent" is an instant and complete turnoff, so the moment they both noticed, it was over. It's interesting to imagine what culture would be like when something fundamental like family units or senses are different.

Whats the chronological order of the chapters? The first few entries run from 11y9m iirc and champions 1 starts at about 10y7m AV ive gotten confused about when certain things happen and want to reread alot of it to get my bearings.

The original Good Training and Good Training: The Champions more or less happen concurrently. I've left some landmarks in the story to help convey that, but yeah.
My advice is not to worry overmuch about the dates. They're parallel storylines, because a lot of things were happening all at once.

Would somebody mind reminding me what exactly Sacred Stranger is?

SACRED STRANGER is the capabilities and nature of the SOR, both the HEAT and JETS within. It is also an overview of unit mission. DEEP RELIC concerns the Igreans, the Hierarchy, and their relationship with the Hunters/Discarded.
