I just want to say, I have loved reading your Prize of Victory parts one and two. so much so that you have inspired me to join the site and gear up to write my own fanfiction ^^. Though I sincerely hope Real Life isn't hitting on you terribly; I am excited to see what comes next after chapter 94 XD. All in all I think the story has a nice flow to it and like however many others I too can be added to the pack howling for Yammy and Aizen's raging deaths.

Anothe enjoyable chapter. How smart to bring this chapter from Tatski (a relative outsider's) view. I feel that Tatski knows that she has all the pieces to a puzzle, but the one that puts them all together ... until she feels that power that's so different and strong that it nearly puts her down, yet its feels so familiar. ..
As always, thank you for sharing this imaginative story with us.

Lovely post I read this last Wednesday but I hadn't yet posted up a review for it. It was a great chapter as always, dark in some places but we finally found out what happened with Vandilla! It was awesome great to see Szeyal in the mix and everything and awe I'm glad they are rescuing Gin too! I can't wait to read the next one!

So, so glad to see Tatsuki and Tesla again! Missed them quite a bit. Thank you Nova. This chapter came out on the day of a Blood Moon so I knew it would be perfect, and it sure was. Gave me quite a jolt of energy that is helping get me through 9 hours at work.
I'm so fucking sick of that misogynist fuck Nnoitra. Kenny better goddamn curb stomp him then throw the mangled body to the metaphorical wolves. Ran deserves so much better than to put up with him. Tesla deserves so much better in a master too. Seriously, fuck that guy.
I'm loving the cub details you've given us in this chapter. Avi has yellow eyes, I'm so happy. And the cub I've been calling Soren till you reveal the name, aka Tesla's cub, has hooves. Hell yes.
I love this fic so damn much. Going to Hell for that but I don't care.

@Chapter 93: I would have posted this review earlier today, but my internet was acting up. So I posting this on the wifi at my job. Anyway, I enjoyed this chapter a lot more than I thought I would, as every time we go back to the palace, it involves something horrible happening to Karin. You created a truly loathsome monster in your portrayal of Aizen, and you succeeded in getting every one of us ramped up for his death!
Thankfully, the rescue finally come- in the form of Szayel, no less- who, thanks to Abisara's foresight, was able to get the bracelet off of Karin. And oh, thank Christ that Aizen wasn't able to impregnate her. Still, a lot happened that I feel is worth mentioning. First off, I'm rather curios about what was going with Vindula's hands, given that she accidentally cut Aizen. That, combined with her remark that her hands feel batter when they're in the dirt, left me wondering what was going on- and in a good way. It's really cool that even this far into the story, new things are still happening, and that they're not being explained right away. On one hand, I feel bad that Abisara has had to grow up so quickly, though it's because of his maturity and intellect that that Karin's 'sight' is no longer fettered by that damned bracelet.
I was worried that Karin might end up totally emotionally broken when they reached her. And while she'll understandably be dealing with some degree of trauma for the foreseeable future, I was relieved that she's not a total wreck. Though, as my fellow reader Kain has pointed out, she's experienced what it's like to be one of the true victims (without someone to keep out of harm). I mention this because as Karin notes, there's not going to be an obvious victory in killing Aizen. The Numeros are justifiably terrified of him. As Karin notes: they're not fighting a faceless mob of boogieman, meaning that there's a decent number of Arrancar, like Tesla or Franque, who are acting in the defense of their mates and yet-to-be born cubs. Though, her remark about figuring out who will and won't be "getting the chop" struck me as rather dismissive. Especially, given that Stark would then become the most powerful person in all of the realms, and that the Spirit Queen and her Consort are half Hollow (and partially predisposed to their views). And while Halibell and Ulquiorra have made "face turns", they're still Hollows and think as such, as are all the Fraccions to varying degrees.
One point that's been made is that there are more Shinigami than Arrancar, but one thing that people have to remember is that most the Shinigami of any real note are claimed by an Arrancar. With the exception of perhaps Ichigo, Rukia, Renji and Soifon, there isn't anyone else with enough power to fight back that isn't already subject to a claim, meaning they could literally be made to stand down with just a thought by their mates/masters- and Toshiro has already made his stance clear on the subject. Now, while I don't foresee Stark or Ulquiorra or Halibell (and especially not Tesla or Tia's girls) abusing their powers, I also don't foresee any of them allowing a round of executions to take place either.
What's more likely to happen is a set of ground rules being implemented: That first, the non-abusive Arrancar would be left alone be allowed to go back to their families/packs without any problems- also meaning that couples can't be separated without cause. Though I expect that any future claiming would have to be consensual (which shouldn't be an issue in some cases, given all the glowing 'testimonials' given by some). Next, that any obviously abusive relationships would be terminated, and that it's made clear that abuse won't be allowed. The problem I can see might be with Nnoitra, because he kind of falls into a gray area, depending on how you view him. Really, this is just supposition on my part, but see either side coming out of this conflict as totally satisfied- and I can imagine a lot of pissed off people on both sides. But that's often the nature of a truce.
Another thing that I wanted to comment on before I wrap this up is Gin. This guy is tied with Byakuya for the top woobie position. Gin is so emotionally and physically broken after sixteen years of constant total abuse, that I totally understood when he initially refused to help them escape- the poor guy has been so beaten down that he can't believe things could be any different. When Szayel finally delivers the decisive piece of info- that Aizen isn't invincible any more- I could totally visualize it in my head as he *finally* relents and throws in with the rebels.
In closing, I really enjoyed this chapter, especially in how much it fleshed out the events of chapter 91. I seriously can't wait to see what happens next week, and will be eagerly awaiting your next update.

Such a great chapter!! I'm glad that Gin didn't decide to fight and instead joined them, although I didn't really think he'd go against them. He's just as desperate to escape Aizen as the rest of them. Now however, I can help but wonder if Vindula's claws were poisonous or something? I mean he had a rash and... hmm... I guess I'll have to wait and see. Or maybe it's just nothing and I'm reading too much into things. =/

@Chapter 92: Not a whole lot to say about this chapter. I enjoyed the conversation between Ryuken and Nel, and his monologue was very gripping and well written. Anyway, I look forward to seeing what happens next.
