Sunday, October 16th, 2005: The pieces have fallen where they must, and the battle is, for better or worse, finished. For the survivors, they must now determine what future lies ahead of them...Where the future is one unknown, unwritten, unprophesied. It will not be an easy challenge, but then, nobody said life was ever easy. It can be rewarding, though. Following the update of "Chapter 6: The Peace of Two Hearts"...(Expect within 1.5 weeks) One more chapter. And the Epilogue. Following that, this little piece of lore is done, and legends can rest. And maybe then so can I. -Erico

Wednesday, October 19th, 2:15 A.M.
Chapter Six, "The Peace of Two Hearts" is done and uploaded to Fanfiction.net
So, you all know what to do. As for me, I'm going to go collapse now... "Endless Tropical Night" and the Epilogue can wait for another day.
When I'm not dead.

Oh my goodness...that was simply amazing!!! The battery in my laptop died before I could finish it...and I actually went to my friend's room to finish reading it! Absolutely incredible. I can't wait for the epilogue. By the way...nice foreshadowing with Mer's character and the package...I had always wondered how Dr. Jones acquired that book at the beginning of ZR. Fantastic job, as usual.

I love the foreshadowing of Mer, which is one of the things I was looking for near the end, well-done! I liked the flashbacks to Argonia and the Starseer's fight, but the Zodus and Zoda thing seemed a little too obvious. Maybe it was just me, but if a person in my past had the name of Zodus, and then, an invader named Zoda sprung up, I'd be a little suspicious, but it's great you fully explained Zoda's true intention with pursuing the Argonians. Some of it was too mushy in my opinion (not a fan of too mushy) but it was well written Erico, you should commend yourself. I know the Epilogue will give the story the proper ending it deserves, and I await it.

I hope you haven't dropped off the face of the Earth, Erico. Just kinda wondering what kind of progress you've made, if any, on the next part of the story (which, if I remember correctly, will be the epilogue??). Anyways...give us a shout next time you're on this side of the galaxy

I was thinking about you just yesterday too Erico! I was wondering if you had gotten a chance to work on that Epilogue. I'm curious if it will be a reflection by Mike of his recent adventures on his way back home, or whether it'll be the VERY beginning of ST2. I'm waiting!!!!!!!

Erico-
I have downloaded all the peices submitted, read the 1st part, working on the 6th chapter, and I have only one thing to say. THIS STORY IS WICKED COOL!!!!!!!!! I can't put it down. I don't even want to think about the countless times my laptop battery died before I finished it! I'm working on my own ST story, too. It's called ST: Enter the spaceship(see Startropics Fanfictions). I hope you don't get mad, but I used the idea from your story to start mine. I hope mine will be as good as yours.(However, I REALLY doght it!)
BTW, how did u submit a story to FF. I tried to submit my Inuyasha FF, but It didn't submit. It's been submitted for over a month! It says it's there, but it's not in the story listings! HELP!

--Heh! It's been a while since I've updated this. No, worry not, friends. There is another chapter to this great story, and an Epilogue yet to come. I find myself busied with a few other projects at the moment, going with the stove policy (Work on one burner/project until I get tired, switch to another) Startropics is still in the rotation. I'm just always concerned about getting it precisely right.
So when will it be done? When it is done. I can offer no more, and I'll give no less. I wish you all a wonderful holiday season, and plenty of relaxation. Relaxation is key to me finishing this off...
And bringing a happy ending to Mike and Mica.
Because lord knows Startropics 2 didn't.
But time goes on.
As it must.
-Eric

You're lucky that I'm a patient man, Erico haha. I can't wait to see what you've got in store for everyone in the story. I am anxious to see the last chapter of this amazing story. Good to know you're still working on it and I eagerly await reading it.

cool, I'll get the story asap. here's mine(please don't fuss at me, but I want to know if people like it and nobody will read it from Startropics Fanfictions. So, here's Ch. 1:
Startropics: Enter the Spaceship
Chapter 1
I’m Mike Jones. I am a simple 16 year old and an ace pitcher. Last month, I stole 3 magic cubes from Zoda, an evil alien that came to Earth to take back the magic cubes after Hirocon, the ruler of Argonia, sent them to Earth to protect them. I was able to get them back to Coralcola and form them into a stack and they began to glow rapidly. All of a sudden, appeared 7 boys and girls! Yes, I said 7 kids. After the kids were released, they adapted to our lifestyle. After about 2 days, I fell in love with the princess of Argonia, Mica. After about another week, I told her that, and sure enough, she felt the same way about me, too! We kissed and started to go out. Over the last month, I’ve gotten into a fight with Ezilian(one of the Argonian boys I saved), found out that I have Shilivre(an Argonian form of communication and attack), played a baseball game with everyone, and...oh yea...nearly gotten killed ½ a dozen times. Everything happened, passed on, and soon was forgotten. However, what happened that horrible day, the 2nd of August, wasn’t forgotten to this day!. The one of my nightmares, the one that I killed, or so I thought,...Zoda! He appeared on C-Island that day and injured one of my friends, nearly killed Ezilian, and killed the chief’s sister, also known as out island shaman, Bana Omoy. Well, after that, he knocked out Mica(D__n him!) and took her onto the spaceship. “No! I won’t let you take her!” I screamed as I jumped in after him, although very injured. “You fool! Get out!” Zoda snapped as he smacked me straight back to the ground. I fell unconscious instantly. The next thing that I knew, I was in a bed with a rag over my forehead. “Where...Where am I?” I asked myself, unaware that someone was there. “The chief’s hut” Hapo, the chief of Coralcola, said. “Uh! Where’s the spaceship!?’ I asked sitting up and sending the rag flying off my forehead. “It’s gone!” Hapo said as he pushed the new visitor of his face. “I have to go find it!” I yelled as I jumped up, took a few steps and fell onto my knees. “Your too injured! Stay put!” Hapo said loudly. “Hmph, hold on a sec.” I said. I began to put my energy into the wounds. A moment later, a few of the wounds disappeared as the broken nerves started to for back together. However, this wore me out and I fell off my knees and onto the floor, breathing as if I just ran a marathon. “Mike! Are you ok?” Hapo asked as he got on his knees to check on the better, but exhausted 16 year old. Well, after that little incident, I healed nicely and found my uncle’s Sub-C. It was a little battered and dented, but was still looking like a nice piece of machinery. It’s still locked like a metal supermodel, but now one that was on a bit of “chocolate diet”. I took Sub-C to the one place that I believed Zoda would be, Howduyadocola. After I arrived, I got out and ran through every one of the caves, killing all of the rats, undead, and other freaky enemies I fought before. “I thought that they were dead!” I began to worry as I began to proceed further. Once I got to the end, I found the spaceship in the same spot as before. “Well, your all about different aren’t you, Zoda!” I said sarcastically as I entered the spaceship. When I entered, I saw Mica, unconscious in the floor inside a cage. I also saw Zoda standing in front of a lot of a large group of the green armored aliens. “Oh S__T!’ Mike whispered at the site. A few of the aliens turned to look at the place where the sound came from, but I was already around the corner, and sweating like crazy. Suddenly, a blaster shot blew up a small piece of the wall about 5 inches from where I was standing. “EAK!” I screamed before covering my mouth. “What was that!?” Zoda screamed as he started toward the corner. I did the only thing I could, RUN! I took of as fast as I could, heading for the door, but I stopped shortly after. “What ar you doing, Mike! Go save the princess, go save Mica, go save your love!” I began to think to myself. “No...no, I can’t run, I will continue! For Loyalty! For Victory! ....For Love!
For Mica!” I turned to head back and saw Zoda and about 30 green aliens heading straight for me. “HUMAN SCUM! I TOLD YOU TO STAY AWAY!” Zoda screamed as he pulled up his blaster. He shot one of the blasts at me and struck my arm a little. It stung like getting hit by 20 baseballs in one spot being pitched by a pro baseball player. “AHHHHHHHHHHH!” I screamed as I jumped into a small room that had lots of packages and weapon cases. Once I was in, a large, metal door closed behind me. The aliens shot about 20 blasts at the door, but it did nothing. “Let him be. In about 3 hours, he’ll run out of air and we won’t have to deal with him any longer.” Zoda said to the aliens calmly as they started to walk away. That’s where I am now, this luggage chamber. It’s been about 20 minutes sense I got locked in here. I’ve been sitting here trying to stop the bleeding on my arm and I must say that it’s died down a lot, but is still bleeding a little. I’ve lost about a quart of blood already, but shouldn’t lose much more with what’s left of the bleeding. After about 5 more minutes, the bleeding stopped altogether. “Now, to deal with this air crises” I said to myself as I looked around for a hole or window or something! I found nothing. “Well, I’ll just have to make one, then!” I said as I reached for my Super Nova. “Where is my Super Nova!” I yelled as I stuck my fingers through my pants loop where the Super Nova should’ve been. “I...Oh God, oh my God, I’m....I’m going to die here!” I concluded. “...Mica...I failed you...I’m sorry” I said as I began to sob. Just then, the ship began to start up and take off. “What the...? Where are we going?” I asked myself, knowing I couldn’t answer them. The ship began to take speed and knocked me flat on my behind.

please don't fuss at me, but I want to know if people like it and nobody will read it from Startropics Fanfictions. I'm happy you said please but it's not right to post your stuff in anohter forum if you have your own forum for it. Why wouldn't we read it from the Startropics Fan fictions thread? But in other words your story is going pretty good.
