Behemoth Attacks NORA Members

At the infiltration into Cocoon, the NORA crew were saving people from the Purge until suddenly a huge mass PSICOM soldiers and a large, mechanical Behemoth attacked the crew relentlessly. With Lebreau, our editor, Marqui, our reporter for Pulse Sports, Gadot, our other reporter for hard news, and Yuj, they all have managed to stay alive with their incredible teamwork. Lebreau says with a smile,"Hey, we're NORA. What would we do without teamwork?" Gadot, who was grinning from ear to ear has this to say,"Team NORA Rules!! We kicked ass out there! Did you see us?!" This resulted in Lebreau to slap Gadot behind the head. The shy Marqui, who has a lovely fan-base of females ranging to children up to full grown women adults, says with a small smile,"We couldn't have done it without each other. Right guys?" Marqui smiles sheepishly at us when he sees his teammates battle it out.

BREAKING NEWS

Many Cocoon inhabitants die in ensuing fall.

It was almost hell on Earth as people who were going to be Purged, die in a fall that risked many lives, including our Editor-in-chief, Snow V. He has no comments about the incident. Few lives were saved during the fall as many scream and fall to their deaths. Those people will never be forgotten.

Ask Aunt Agony

Why the hell am I giving people advice? People should give me advice on how to get my sister back! (Aunt Agony is threatened by our lovely Employer, Vanilla under the threats of dressing up. Aunt Agony chooses the advice under much grumbling.) God, fine! I'm going to a mental hospital soon with all this s--. I mean, crap. (sigh)

Dear Auntie,

I have a problem with my boyfriend, or shall I say, my soon-to-be-husband! He's out there saving the world, while I'm here trapped! What should I do? Plus, I wish my big sister accepted him for who he is...cute, nice, and a great man.

~Strawberry Wine~

Dear Strawberry Wine,

S-Serah? What the-? How did you--?! God, damn it! WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU? Screw your soon-to-be-husband! He's an idiot under all of that cute, nice, and whatever he calls great under those shoes!

Dear Strawberry Wine,

Since Auntie ran out the door and getting her weapon. I'll help! Your sister should accept the man in your life as her family. Even if he persistently calls her his Big Sister. Even if your trapped, then don't worry. Your Big Sister and your soon-to-be-husband is coming to get you.

-Vanilla-

Dear Agony,

Let's say I "stole" a man's shoes. And....it "accidentally" fell into the dump. I guess you're saying why I stole his shoes. There's a really good reason for that. Umm...he stole my glory. I WAS SUPPOSE TO BE THE STAR! NOT HIM!

-Orange and Red

Dear Orange and Red,

I can see your predicament. Jealousy is a normal thing. Hey, I get jealous of Fang! She's out there kicking butt, while I'm healing...which sucks at certain times. Anyways, just go and give Mr. 33cm. his shoe back and you guys can be friends! BTW, don't you have an article to work on? L's telling me for you not to slack off.

Tee-hee!
