wow just wow

A fitting end to a very dark story, especially after all the hell Shooter and company had to go through. That's actually all I have to say about this chapter.

Good luck on the future stories you're working on during your break from the trilogy. You definitely deserve this break after the development hell HBS put you through compared to FBS. (such as increasing word count, the occasional laziness, etc.)

Amazing ending for an amazing story yet it was a cliffhanger!? Well, nicely put.

-I love the part where it was shown a bit about Dragon Slayer's past and her conversation with an incarcerated Icicle. She can choose to become a tyrant godlike being (as seen in Huke's artwork) but she chose not to because of a wish from a friend. And as I see it, her real self's death made a turning point on her own life as she becomes a protector instead and deep inside, she cares for others as well, including Kanna. Well, that's just me right there. BTW, her interaction with Kanna is one of best parts in this story IMO.

-Black Rock Shooter and her growing animosity towards Dead Master and the others as well due to the Icicle fiasco. Not hate, but more like annoyed. I don't want to call her a prick, but she had a point. The difference is that BRS is an Anomaly and she successfully overcome Icicle's mindrape attempts is due to her free will; she had her own freedom and she is her own person. I can say that she becomes more... human after the events of FBS. And I thought that she is more capable of checking on her own emotions than any other self. In other words, you can't blame her after everything she went through. And still, Mato is stubborn as of now. But she wasn't a prick or anything; she's still naive about the fact that BR S is her own person and not an Other Self. Well, we shall see...

-And since you present White Rock Shooter here, I guess that she'll be an Anomaly or even higher than that. Will you also include other characters from the game itself? I wonder how will you use Grey here; I mean, it'll be cool if she's also an Anomaly or an other self but more of a capable fighter and a tech genius, earning nicknames like "The Inventor" or "The Mechanic".

Well, take time in your break and I will look forward for your other fics as well. And... you got me. I also love RWBY.

Okaaaaaaaaayy... The least thing that I'm expecting is WRS's appearance... No, no, no that's what I've been anticipating to happen! WOW! If BRS is Mato's otherself and WRS is BRS's otherself therfore, WRS is Mato's otherself... does this apply ? Or... it's like the game. BRS is a clone... ANYWAY! I love IT! Btw, will Nana Gray appear? :D

Excellent story with a great ending! I look forward to reading your other stories.

A fitting end for the final battle. Throwing in Maid Gunner and Underworld Vulcan was a nice twist.

But what really caught me off guard was Icicle's line before fighting Shooter; she called Dragon Slayer "Solomon", didn't she?

Can't wait to read the ending.

Very brilliant! Loved BRS-Icicle duel! A battle of strength and wits. And so... there is another mystery in Dragon Slayer? And I'm very glad that the gang is back to normal.

Whatever, can't wait for the finale.

Well...you finally broke me into reviewing this story.

Holy hell...and just as we're nearing the conclusion too. Overall, Hollow Black Shadows has been one hell of a ride. None of the chapters up to this one disappoint. And I truly cannot wait for the final battle. This one's going to be a true epic.

Keep up the good work, make that motherfucker of a fight one for the history books, and crank the action into full throttle like you always do.

Belated happy birthday! Oh, and a great chapter nonetheless.

So I'm very glad that B RS is back to normal. As much as I want to see her settle the score against Icicle once and for all in this chapter, I was wondering about why Dragon Slayer stopped her. And I can't believe that our main heroine can actually... CRY. C'mon she needs a hug. :P I wonder what will be the outcome of Mato?

I'll see you in chapter 12. I wanna know what happens next!

Nice chapter

Chapter is so intense. But the part that I really love is Dragon Slayer's backstory and she had a real self - who is an Englishwoman and lived during World War II. It really reminds of your first fanfic where Dragon Slayer had an infant son back then where the Otherworld is very much like the real world until it became a barren wasteland caused by a big cataclysm due to a atomic bomb in the real world. Correct me if I'm wrong.

And I'm starting to love Kanna; she can be the best OOC in your story because what I like about her is being smart and a capable strategist (if it's the correct word).

And since Mato (in BR S's body) is probably captured by Icicle, what about the REAL BR S who is trapped in another world. Will she able to get out of Icicle's malevolent grip and restore her memories?

Don't worry, I'll just STAY TUNED.

Another GREAT chapter!

Very progressive plot including the rescue scene and Dragon Slayer-Icicle fight and what really irks me is that Mato took over BRS' body. And why was Dragon Slayer mad about it?

Can't wait for the next chapter!

I have a feeling that's neither of the two of them unless "Rock" was still missing apart of herself that finally awakened?

Anyway, good chapter.

Now I know why the chapter is called "New Skin". Icicle, you're such a creepy manipulative bastard.

You know, I'm sensing development for Kanna and this chapter also have its own funny moments.

Can't wait for chapter 8!

So this long and great chapter ended with a spar.

Nice progression. One of my favorites where Dragon Slayer drives a car and the helicopter chase. And oh, Icicle is still malevolent; she managed to make the city under her control. This will be a hard time for our heroes. I'm still anticipating that there will be other Otherselves who will join the fight against Icicle.

Bro, keep it up and I will wait for the next one.
