Can't wait to see this continued, but as a Xicor fan (he was the only charecter I ever read about that even remotly intrested me) I am saddened too see that it begins after the battle with him. Hope he makes an appearance down the road.
Anyway, this is the best attempt I've seen at someone seriously making this in any format outside of a manga, so I hope it goes great. Again, can't wait to see more and well done.
