Fantastic Children 2 Ch.11

Chapter 11 : The Burden and the Transience

It was unfair, Dumas thought, that the universe should make its own rescue so complicated. Once again he was coming up short in the number of souls he needed to relocate.

He thought there was a good chance that those in the ship's control room might have survived, because that part of the ship was designed to detach from the body in disastrous circumstances. His sister Tina had been in there.

If she had not survived, he had no more interest in saving the universe. Let it all fall down. He owed the rest of creation nothing.

Agi had almost certainly been killed, and that was a serious inconvenience

Chapture 10: At the Bottom of the Deep Clear Sea

"Hasmodai…Hasmodai…Hasmodai…"

When he opened his eyes, it took him several minutes of blinking before the blurriness cleared, and even after, he barely recognized Soreto.  Her face was streaked with blood, her eyes and nose puffy and swollen.

"Soreto?"

She looked relieved.  "How many fingers am I holding up?"

"Some of them," he answered.

He was sitting in a chair.  He leaned forward to stand, but a wave of pain and dizziness seized him, and he closed his eyes again.  His head felt…he put up a hand to feel the back of his head, bu

Fantastic Children 2 Ch.9

Chapter 9: Wreckage

Dumas lounged over a couple of cargo crates. He was sitting near Mel, and while his dark glasses hid his eyes and his focus from the others, all of his attention was on her. Mel's face was damp and white, her terror palpable, her every breath a soft whimper at the back of her throat. It was all his doing, and he felt no pain about it.

He took responsibility for it. When young Gherta Hawksbee had finished her postgraduate work and completed her Master's degree, Dumas had seen to it that she was installed as the director of the GED group, at an age where many of her fellow students were begging for internships o

Fantastic Children 2 Ch.8

Chapter 8: Belle, Tina: Voyage

The sun wasn't even up yet. Belle trailed along after Damien, and yawned. NOBODY got up this early.

One of the smaller buildings was being fitted out as a 'ship' and everyone was hurrying back and forth like ants, or talking earnestly in small groups. Now they were all wearing those silly dark grey costumes, some even increasing the gorfyness of it with long, black coats. Except Damien. His jumpsuit was white, with a sheen like silk, and he managed to make even that look cool.

Belle couldn't understand how Ian could be so preoccupied and involved with these people. They were awful, nothing like his friends

Fantastic Children 2 Ch.7

Chapter 7: Seth Soreto Hasmodai: Surrender

Lord Seth stood on a tall rock and stared out to sea. Over the water he could see Ketplaque Island, near enough that the little white squares of houses were visible among the dark green foliage. Some of the researchers working at the Rugen Institute lived there, at least during the week. There were no other islands in sight. The GED group had originally chosen Kuril and Ketplaque for the privacy their isolation would give.

But Seth knew that over the waves and out of sight, there was a tiny, lonely island with a 200-year-old shrine on it. In it

Fantastic Children 2 Ch.6

Chapter 6: Tarlant, Baldwin, Dumas: Wheels Within Wheels

"Tarlant? TARLANT!"

Tarlant snapped awake guiltily at Agi's shout. Not that he had much to feel guilty about. He was a mechanical engineer, and now that all the equipment had been assembled, and research was the goal, he was mainly useful as an assistant or when repairs or adjustments were necessary.

He hurried toward the sound of the shout, readying his apology, but it was not necessary. Agi was staring in consternation at Squeak. The robot was aligning one of the enormous sensor panels—if they had had time to construct the facility properly, th

An Elephant for Tarlant Pg 18by ~inkwolf

Fan Art / Cartoons & Comics / Digital / Movies & TV

I like Soreto. She's intelligent, sweet, loving, kind, and supportive, and yet has all the underpinnings of a major badass. I read three chapters of the manga adaptation, and sadly, that was the one aspect of her personality they decided to one-dimensionalize her to. I suppose they heard from too many people that the anime was too intellectual for general audiences, so they made the manga suitable for developmentally disabled ten-year-olds, and poor, sweet Soreto became a busty, bone-breaking byatch-queen...

I do sorta wonder how the rest of the manga went on...

~sitauset Aug 1, 2011

There's a manga version of FC? O_o;; I can hardly find any info on FC so I had no idea!

~inkwolf Sep 15, 2011 Hobbyist

Yeah, it's pretty bad, though. Really bad.

I could only find three chapters translated to download, and I'm sort of glad I never read more.

~sitauset Oct 9, 2011

Oh no that makes me sad!!

FC is such a beautiful series.. why does it have to have a bad manga? Emotears. I read that they really screwed up Soreto's character in the manga and that made me livid. I loved her character. I'd like to read it but I am afraid that it might make me too mad. I wanted the series to continue but not if its not as awesome as the anime was. :/

Lolz the manga. is. weird XD
not this one of course...the other one XDD

You're right about it, how come audiences can't stand intellectual stuff anymore? is not like watching an online advanced physics class anyway...

I'm so glad someone came to recue them!

even tought...they are boys...shouldn't they defend themselves? (jk)

~inkwolf Jan 31, 2011 Hobbyist

Aw, some people just aren't fighters. Hasmodai pretty much curled up every time the Enma appeared. And Tarlant was completely outrun and overpowered by Thoma and needed Wonder to save him. Agi, Hesma and Soreto did most of the successful butt-kicking in the anime. (Apart from Thoma, of course.)

We still love 'em, though. Nothing wrong with having a gentle nature.

~neohin Feb 1, 2011

couldn't agree more with you...some guys have it...some guys...well, don't XD

~girishia Jan 25, 2011

YES!!!!!

Soreto is my second favourite character in FC XD
And I too, dislike her manga version. I was reading it and like, "is this targeting some retarded fanboys or what?"

~inkwolf Jan 25, 2011 Hobbyist

I hated Thoma in the manga, too--annoying, trash-talking little twerp spouting garbage about the pride of manhood and whatnot.

And it really annoyed me that Helga was no longer the artist, she just wanted to get to someone else's painting.

And Tarlant! He was just a whiny minion. All his boyish charm and loyalty were gone.

Sigh...I'm kind of glad that the person scanlating it didn't do the whole manga. I shudder to think what Agi, Hasmodai, Hesma, Mel/Gherta and Palza might have become.

~inkwolf Jan 25, 2011 Hobbyist

I didn't even mention Tarlant's Yu-gi-oh hair...
