Hey, guys! It's been awhile, hasn't it? God, three years already. And I'm feeling nice and ancient, at the ripe old age of twenty-one. "All you young whipper-snappers watching Kai! You don't know the glory of the good old days, when you waited all day to come home and watch the next episode on Toonami!" (which is back now, and that makes me really happy).

Anyway, I'm getting off track here. Yes, I realize I'm not supposed to post an author's note as a chapter, but I don't really give a shit. Sue me. You won't get much.

As I said, it has been three long years since I completed Violent Avenger, and God, did I have fun with this story. It was such an amazing journey to write, but my style has greatly evolved since then and as such, it is no longer up to par with my current skills, and I feel that's a shame. The ground work is here; I just didn't utilize it quite right, and re-reading it now, I see so many things I should have done differently, plot, characterization, and writing wise. Even the title makes me cringe a little. Could I have been any more captain obvious?

Since this story is old, but not quite super holy shit old, and considering the fact that I still get the occasional review or favorite for it, I thought there might actually be a few people out there who still give a shit. So, my loyal fans (if you still exist) you will be pleased to know that I am planning a massive edit, if not total re-make of this story. I haven't decided if I want to simply replace the chapters that already exist, or delete this version all together, but your input on that would be appreciated. I suppose that will also depend on how many changes I decide to make. I've only just started on Chapters 1 and 2, and I don't plan to post any of it until I already have most of the story done, so this is going to take a while. What have I gotten myself into?

Also, although I can't divulge too much information yet, I may or may not have a sequel in the works as well. Not a direct sequel, mind you. I plan for it to be understandable by those who have not read the first one, but it does take place in the same head-cannon I have created here. I need super awesome psychic Trunks again ;)

That's actually what prompted this re-make. I didn't feel comfortable starting a story in the same universe as this, when the writing is not up to par with my current skill level. It just felt…wrong, you know? Like I was cheating myself and all of my fans as well.

Just thought I'd put that out there ;). I love each and every one of you! Follow me on tumblr, if you have one. I go by blighted – angel dot tumblr dot com. I'll follow back, I promise. I'd love to hear from you about input for the rewrite, opinions, or if you just wanna chat. I don't bite unless you want me to :'D Hope to hear from you all soon!
