So it was Dest all that time, heh. Well, that answers a few questions.

Dan, Dan, Dan...

And, correct me if I'm wrong, but the only other time that Dan has seen Biggs was way back during the quest to get back Alexi's mallet.  So, how would Destina using Biggs' old hairstyle be a clue?

Biggs needs to learn that a reverse is not a change in hairstyle.

I have to say, it took me a little bit to actually get that it was Biggs in the wash and Dest in disguise. (At first I thought it was Wildy in the tub.)

Well, now we know what Fi was doing.

#529, Panel two? (http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_529.php) That's what I look like right now.

On the other hand... the only difference in Bigg's hair that I see is that he parts it on the other side now. And a rat tail we rarely see? Not much of a clue, Amber. Regardless, NICE twist.

*Blink blink* I just realized, my hair looked like that in Grade 10...

PS: I miss Wildy...

    8) Will Dan ever think twice about the obvious ? I presume that any idea of warp aci Biggs has , he could only get from Di. Since Biggs has a tendancy to the best, wouldn't he have his own ?  With the parting comment of, " and take that drunken Warp Aci with you " , no other is to be seen ...

As amusing the thoughts, she was pretending to be Biggs, she would act as Biggs would act. Makes sense, no?

I also thought it was Wildy in the tub, which lead to all manner of bad thought, which immidietly died when I read what was being said.

This is SO like Amber. running a whole scene fooling everyone till the last page revelation that makes everyone gasp. This has been seen so many times before that I'm not sure how to feel anymore. It makes me wanna take my hat off for Amber and throw it at her to spite her.
I think this is one of the reasons why I like this comic so much.

Yeah, well, she's had 7000 years to learn how to do that.

What disturbs me (more than Dee describing herself as 'hot' and the 'your Mom seduced me' bit in 867) is that she actually has sent her only son off to attack a 700-year-old demon who left him clinically dead the last time.

In that, then, we can be sure she's going to try and kill two birds with one stone. 1: Eliminate Dark Pegasus, again. 2: Test out how Dan's coming along in meshing his Cubi abilities with his adventuring skill in a live combat situation.

Also, yeah, I thought that was Wildy, too. And what's up with her bringing a bottle and two glasses to Biggs' tub? I thought she was with Edward (captured/stasis or not).

Who do we know who's much stronger than Dan, who's also easy to manipulate? 
Besides, he's killed DP multiple times already; If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

and remember the family emotion traits are pain and terror. who's to say she doesn't know how many times Dan has Stopped DP. she probably read it form him a few times. now with his wing pips DP is bound to have a harder time with Dan then when he's showing off of the girls.

Amber, you pwn. And Maybe Dee really is still evil, but somehow I don't think so. Then again, maybe I'm just naive.

But how did Dan not recognize Dee's fighting style? I guess she's mastered Biggs's techniques over the years to make herself more convincing.

I dunno.  It seems that Destinia has some sort of reason to keep Dan away from her for the time being, she could very well have dug up DP and sent Dan on a wild goose chase just to keep him out of (too much) trouble.

You have to admit, she did teach Dan a very good lesson about his Cubi nature.  Now that he's fallen victim to the mind-reading trick she played on him in that scene, he'll be much more wary (maybe) when he tries it again.  This time he got off light, his mother spanked him.  With anyone else, he probably would wind up dead.

Poor Fi, I wonder if we're going to see the Warp Aci equivalent of Alcoholics Anonymous in the future.

This should be very interesting.  Issue #388 left some sort of suggestion of a link between DP and Destina (or some event that involved the two.), if DP is truly back I hope whatever it may be gets revealed.

What she really wanted was to keep him out of sight so the Dragons wouldn't find out who he was and kill him.  Sending him off on a mission (especially when DP had one of the only dragons we've seen in-strip) seems a little contrary to that ideal...

Only question I have is, why in the world did Dee try to hide who she really was from Dan?  Wouldn't she have wanted to see him?  And yes, I know, she did see him, but I mean as his mother, so they can have a nice long embrace and chat before she sent him off to kill his archnemisis.

In 712 she reckons that her return would spell disaster.  We still don't really know the extent of that, but the disaster might occur if Dan and Dee meet.  Heck, it could even be that she's afraid it will throw him off his stride even more than the whole 'Cubi thing already has.

Nemesis: a Rightious infliction of retribution, manifested through an appropriate agent. Bad guys usually call good guys their nemisi. Nemisises? Whatever.

I'm betting Dan didn't get killed last time because he was a... Wait a minute.

*Facepalm* Beating on Azlan caused him pain. Cubi from Dan's clan feed on pain. So Wildy ended up feeding Dan enough energy for him to recover.

BTW: You can tell that's not Wildy because her hair is more red, and Biggs is a little more pink.
BTW2: When did Biggs get a new hairdo? Did Dan see it? Cause, he wasn't with the party the last time they went to see Biggs.

She threw Alexsi across a room while deflecting a mallet attack.

Plus I'm thinking Dan responds better to physical motivation.

There is a phrase "A wise man learns by his mistakes, a truly wise man learns by the mistakes of others"

Dan is a fair bit below wise man status.

Probably because she knew he was comming to talk to her about what Able/Fi said about what she taught at SAIA.
http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_811.php and http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_814.php .  For various reasons we don't know yet, she probably doesn't want to talk about that with Dan right now, and so sent him off to "take care of" DP, for the 4th time, again, for whatever reason. Maybe so he can learn more about and use his new Cubi abilities on a easy target that won't have any bad moral complications for Dan.

Oh, and we also now know that Dee's clan marking is from the hips down (hidden by the pants she was wearing when she looked like Biggs)

I would like to throw out an idea for your consideration.  Perhaps Destania was the one who stole Dark Pegasus's body and has it stashed in a back room.  That way, sending him after Dark Pegasus would be a way to get him away from Lost Lake for a while without putting him in danger.

I bet the first thing Dan would ask is "Where's Dad?" Since Edward seemed to disappear long before Dest did. If she told him where Ed was, he'd go rescue him from the dragons. If Dan did that, the dragons would probably learn that Dan exists, and do Something Bad to Edward. Like Kill him (Surmised from #725 (http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_725.php))

Like so many others, I thought at first that was Wildy in the tub... until the "sir", then started figuring he had a double. After the check on 618, realized it's Dee. Knowing that, looking back to her (I think) slip of "...that and Wildy...", I'm wondering what she was about to reveal.

Now for some nit-picking, I've noticed many people call this a steamroller...

I kinda doubt its under the headband, because we've seen Dee's forehead uncovered before, and there hasn't been a clan symbol there. but i could be wrong.

that is a possibility, considering the note left at the grave. http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_858.php
Or the note leaver could be referring to someone else's body, who DP will kill. dunno.

Dan is a pain, suffering and heroic cubi.  So in other words I think Dee is sending Dan on a goose chase and possiably gaining energy for something bad that could be in the future.

It would also explain the question mark after the title of this arc.

Edit:

If you want a twist, Destania could have arranged some training exercises for Dan.

A lot of her back remained obscured for the duration of the story. It could be in the small of her back, or between the shoulder blades like Abel's.

Nah, Dan would've seen it, even if we didn't. And Dan has to know enough about Cubi by now to guess what it is, or at the very least suspect. He would probably even recognise it! After all, it's plastered all over everywhere from his bedroom to his warp-aci

Quote from: TapewolfWhat disturbs me is that she actually has sent her only son off to attack a 700-year-old demon who left him clinically dead the last time.

Who do we know who's much stronger than Dan, who's also easy to manipulate? 
Besides, he's killed DP multiple times already; If it ain't broke, don't fix it. 

This should be very interesting.  Issue #388 left some sort of suggestion of a link between DP and Destina (or some event that involved the two.), if DP is truly back I hope whatever it may be gets revealed.

Uhh, you do know that was his imagination and had almost no relevance to the DMFA reality at all, right?

Unless you know something we don't, it's more than likely a memory/flashback from the first or second time he defeated Dark Pegasus.

it occurs to me that Biggs knowing about Fi wouldn't be that much of a hint, as she was seen while he was in the room (even if it were only to say "Ooh! Minibar!") though perhaps the minibar was IN the room... meh.

also, duly noted is that Dad DID grab her and yank her forward by the chain around her neck first, as well as nearly threaten her... and in my house, once you've attacked the momma, she's free to whack ya back.   :<  it's not child abuse, it's "you picked a fight with the wrong person, hombre"  :P

Given the fact that she was the professor of torture and pain, I suspect she has a very good idea of being anatomy.  After all, when she ripped off the flesh, she saw them both inside and out.

I also suspect that some of Destania's statements were direct quotes of what Biggs had said, and that he still has some image of his naked body impressing her, or at least a feeling that he should believe that her naked body should impress her.
