DANGIT FLYNN YOU ARE NOT A VILLAIN SO STOP ACTING VILLAINOUS!! >:CSo originally the SE was supposed to end with part one. Then I realized that Flynn's part was a bit boring, with him just walking off mysteriously like at the end of my round 3 and 4 entries. So I wanted to change it up a bit.
I thought I was only going to get maybe three more pages with Flynn and Henderson interacting, but it grew in size until it reached 6 pages, bringing the total SE entry up to 12 pages.
So then....What is Flynn?
How is he with Gear and with Henderson if he's a figment of Gear's imagination?
Well, there are actually two Flynn's...sort of.
The first Flynn is Gear's "imaginary friend". He is Gear's memory of the Ringmaster, and can only be interacted with by Gear.
The second is "Rift Flynn". This Ringmaster is the product of Gear's memory of Flynn made tangible by the Rift. This was the Ringmaster that appeared at the beginning of my Round 5 entry. As a part of the Rift, Rift!Flynn is able to weakly affect reality, such as his "dispersing" trick. Mostly harmless, this Flynn is more of an indicator of the Rift's growing power.
Note that Rift!Flynn can interact with others and can act independent from Gear. The Imaginary!Ringmaster can only be seen and heard by GearBox.
Phew I hope that made sense. I had to make that up after going "Ooh! Let's draw Gear and Flynn together while Flynn is also talking to Lenny!"
Hope you guys enjoyed all my shenanigans in Rise, and I hope to see you in the future.
For the kids still in Rise, Gear is wandering around Tal avoiding Obb and is free to use, along with Rift!Flynn.

Goodbye Gearbox, you were an awesome contestant in an epic contest, and you shall be missed. May your life avoid rust and your gears never cease.
This was a fantastic end to an iconic character of the Rise, wrapping up his story, why he was there and what was happening to him, as well as offering more for people to see and use along the way. It gave a shiver down my spine reading your last entry, and it's a real shame Star and Gearbox never fought against each other.
Take care, and I can't wait to see you in Hotel Haven!

I'm loving the twist here, gasp, will Rift!Flynn try to become independent of Gear's mind now? Will he widen or close the rift? WILL LENNY EVER RECOVER FROM HIS COLD!?
I am watching with eager eyes I are.

Actually.....this is my exit entry. Meaning this is my last entry for Rise as I lost my last round and am out of the tournament.

Oh dear lord I loved what you did there! I loved your SE and... you don't know how happy makes me that, because I have something in mind that would work perfectly with that (oh lord so perfectly! )

This might be the best bow-out I've ever seen in an OCT.

oh! such a pretty SE, I love the colors, and the shading is wonderful. I also love all the little details, like those dark marks under Lenny's eyes...baww he looks so tired, I just want to hug him. also, I freaking love Flynn, he is lovely, those panels with his dematerialization are just superb! I'm really curious to see what you would have done! :3

...Dang, I think you made things more epic with just a simple conversation. Just curious, is that depiction of the nature of the Rift canon or just something you came up with to show how destructive the Rift is?

The Rift at the end is something I came up with, although I think we've all decided that's it has black bubbles coming out of it thanks to Riyami XDD.
The scary red look was actually an accident involving a red filter that I decided to keep after come consultation.

I have to agree with Haikera-Baiketsu, I enjoyed the SE a lot, and I'm actually interested to see if you do anymore with it (even though Gear is out of the tourney)
