OK, let's! "Taken By Storm" was an awesome storm, and well worth the wait. The title foreshadowed quite effectively. Great work, people! You've earned "TheOtherSean Seal of Approval." (That and a dollar will get you a cup of cheap coffee.)

Midway through the assault, I was thinking the situation was getting especially bad, and wondered if Corwin was able to summon Big O on Diqui or not. A couple of paragraphs later he was unconscious, and it was a moot point.

It's a shame Annabelle's great-uncle didn't hang around. He might have come in handy in Republic City or at the Fort. Come to think of it, I don't recall them existing as team in UF, but I think the Avengers in general would have come in handy in either location that day. Wakaba sounds like she pitched in pretty well, but it seems like they could have used all the help they could have gotten.

Anyhow, great story, and I look forward to the next installment.
