[OW!] Impatience leads to posting; Posting leads to action; Action... leads to suffering.

Previously, on OW!:

I Abidbe, Tenchi, and Aureal try to sabotage the Red Otaku's engines.
And other things, too.....

**********

"Systems check out OK," Nic-chan confirmed as she concluded running
diagnostic programs on a computer console.  "How's it going with the
teleport systems, anata?" she asked to seemingly no one.

Stunned silence followed from a speaker.  "Ah...  Well, they're up and
running.  I wonder why the others haven't shown up yet....  Do you
think they're in trouble?" RMX said.

Nic-chan blinked into the room currently housing the teleport systems.
"It looks that way.  They're under attack by some Minpire ships, and
I'm detecting what seems to be....  chicken soup(?) in their engine
room.  Sounds like they need some help."

"Could you lend them a hand?  I'll need to dust off the propulsion
systems.  It's not like they've been used too often anyway, outside of
keeping the HSB in orbit.  I'll need to do some final tests to make
sure that the teleport system doesn't rearrange anyone's atomic
structure."  Nic-chan nodded.  "And," he added with a grin, "I'll be
waiting for you when you get back."

She floated over to X and gave him a quick peck on the lips.  "I'll
always be with you," she whispered, then disappeared.

The former Reichanian's face turned a light crimson color as he
activated the final testing program for the teleport system.

**********

Nic-chan appeared on the side of the Red Otaku and started walking
towards the 2 Guardians that were attacking the sub in question.

"W..   How is she able to survive in space!?!" Starflower exclaimed to
Brutus.

"I don't know...  It's not possible!"

Nic-chan teleported over to the 2 Battloid-shaped Guardians and flung
them into low-earth orbit.  "Re-entry shouldn't do much to them, at
that trajectory.  They should land safely," she thought.

With that, she flew into the Red Otaku and headed for the engine room
to deal with the saboteur(s).

**********

The saboteur in question was busy strugging to breathe amongst the
plushies and chicken soup pouring out of the defensive systems of the
Red Otaku engine room.  "I guess he's out of action for a while," she
thought as she flew through the plushies and I Abibde and happened to
find Tenchi and Aureal on the other side of the plushie wall, wacking
away.

"What have we here?" Nic-chan asked, making herself visible to the two
would-be saboteurs.  "I'm afraid I can't allow you to follow through
with your plans," she said, shaking her head.

TBC?   Probably.

The Mad Dwarf lay there, wringing his hands and chuckling
maniacally to himself as he lay amidst the soup-soaked
plushies. Abruptly he sprang to his feet, which caused his
boots to make nasty squishing sounds. He paused and removed
one foot from his right boot and poured out the contents.
"Awww, it was chicken NOODLE..." he angsted as he replaced
his footwear.

He suddenly heard the quiet *snikt* of metal on metal and
whirled to see a black-clad senshi with a a metal fan
unfolded.

"What do you think you're doing?" she hissed.

"Ah, the food procesor--" he began.

"I knew you were going to do it again Mad One!! Just like
before! You killed him! All of them! And right before Chaos
came and took Everything away!"

A very surprised I Abibde piku'd.

"Not this time." Sailor Nightwind raised her fan and spread
it wide. "...Amichanian." A lock of hair fell across her
masked face. She was beautiful, but deadly.

The red-bearded dwarf scampered back in haste "You say that
as if it were a bad thing! The blue-haired goddess is
infinitely superior to that blond-haired, air-headed DITZ!
You work for her, right? Don't you?? DON'T YOU??" he fumed
as he withdrew the water pistol armed with eau detoillette
(literallY).

Cold winds swirled around them, spraying the greasy chicken
soup to the sides of the room and away from the reactor
core.

"I won't let you destroy the Red Otaku this time," Sailor
Nightwind insisted. "The OSDF WILL have its chance! In the
name or Rei-san, I am the priestess of the tempest and the
senshi of the cold night air, SAILOR NIGHTWIND!" she
bellowed. Wind blasted at I Abibde and tried to push him
back against the main reactor column.

I Abibde viciously squirted at her several times, complete
with thrusting the gun forward as emphasis, but the wind
blew the water back in his own face. "Augh!" he yelled into
her wind. "You'll not stop me so easily accursèd
Reichanian!"

Just then, a really strong gust of wind blew his hat off. 

"Arrrghhh!" he bellowed again, now at his breaking point. As
his raincoat flapped in the wind, dramatic flying-fight
music from Escaflowne played as BGM.

Sailor Nightwind smiled triumphantly. She had a secret
weapon hidden behind the folds of her iron fan. As the last
of the chicken soup had been blown into the vents, she
hurled a sheaf of papers that hit I Abibde in the face. He
pulled them off with a sneer. "What is this? Reichanian
propoganda?" the mad Dwarf scoffed as he peered at the first
line through his very thick glasses.

The words on the page unfolded before his gaze. "Liberating
the Waters, by Laura Hudson." The Mad Dwarf's eyes enlarged
nearly bigger than his glasses. "This is holy," he whispered
reverently. He looked up at the grinning Sailor Nightwind,
who waved at him. Then he looked at the fanfic. Then up at
her. Then at the fanfic. He stomped his feet in
frustration--practically did a little dance of outrage.

Just then Nic-chan flew into the room. 

> "What have we here?" Nic-chan asked, making herself visible to the two
> would-be saboteurs.  "I'm afraid I can't allow you to follow through

Sailor Nightwind shot her A Look.

Just then, alarms went off. The loudspeaker blared.
"Nic-chan! Omnipotence Defense fields nullified your casual
dismissal of Brutus and Star-Flower's attacks! They're
coming back! You're gonna have to fight them and work for
it!"

"Shucks!" said Nic-chan as she conveniently darted back out
of the room.

I Abibide and Sailor Nightwind resumed their stance.

Just then, SuperSteve and a nameless otaku entered the
hatch. She gasped as her senses filled her in on the
presences. There was a LOT of Seventh Sense walking into the
room. A whole lot... 

"What's going on?" said SuperSteve. He was fully loaded with
pie, just in case. Sailor Nightwind turned to face the
leader of the OSDF. She seemed happy, yet wistful.

"The soldier of blue in exile, I Abibde, planned to destroy
the reactor core and blow up the ship. I... I couldn't let
that happen to the noble OSDF," she said. "I've paralyzed
him with a 4-chapter Amichan-ocentric fanfic. You shouldn't
have any trouble from him for a while."

SuperSteve took in the sight. "Wow, pretty good. I thought
you Night Senshi were all power-mongering badasses. But that
was just darn clever! How'd you know all that?"

Sailor Nightwind blushed. "Well, y'know, we have powers 'cuz
they're thematic and help hide our true identities from
Chaos. But it's been said, and it's true, Powers won't win
the war against Chaos, Humor will..." SuperSteve nodded
sagely. "But we're still badasses," she said, grinning.
SuperSteve grinned back.

She began to stride for the door, then paused and handed
SuperSteve another sheaf of papers. "This is a copy of LeVar
Bouyer's 'The Pink and the Blue,' use it if he gets unruly.
No Amichanian will be able to resist it because it's almost
all Ami-chan, however, the part that's not is Chibi-Usa, and
that should drive him senseless."

SuperSteve grinned and waved as she reached the elevator.
She turned on her communicator. "Sailor Nightwind to Sailor
Twilight, come pick me up!"

As the sparkling shimmer of a transporter began to make her
vanish the thought returned to SuperSteve. How HAD she known
what the treacherous Mad Dwarf was up to?

Possibly, to be continued.

Nic-chan flew out, noticed nothing there, then came back in to see I
Abibde in a daze and SuperSteve in with a printed out piece of
fanfiction.

"What the hell was the point of that?" she asked, looking around for
Sailor whoeverthehellitwas who shot her The Look.

She shrugged it off and resumed her stopping of Tenchi and Aureal.

TBC, of course.

Cape-Mike didn't know what to say.  Here was his life-long, mortal enemy... and
his recently revealed fish headed boyfri... girlf... um, significant other.
He'd waited for so long to exact revenge upon this being.  Hell, he'd even lost
his wife because of this being.

And what was this being doing?  He was making doe eyes at Carp and giving advice
on love.

"It's all *your* fault you know," whispered Cape-Mike.

"Pardon?" said a distracted Kane-Chaos.

"It's *your* goddamned fault that she left!!" screamed Cape-Mike in anguish.
"If it weren't for you we would still be happily married... If not for you..."

"Go on," encouraged K-C.  "Let it out.  Don't keep it bottled up inside like
that.  I'm here for you, man."

"Masterrr, is that really you?" said a very confuzzled Corundite.

Again, Cape-Mike didn't know what to say.  Again, here was *Chaos* trying to
make him feel better.  What the hell was up with *that*.

"Oh, I'm going to let it out all right," said Cape-Mike with a sudden calm but
his voice gradually began to rise.  "I see you there for me, 'man.'  I see you
all nice and happy with your beloved, while *I'm* here by myself because *you*
broke up my marriage!  AARRRGHH!!!"

Cape-Mike hurled himself at Kane-Chaos.  Carp flinched back a few steps, but K-C
merely held up a hand.  CM was frozen in place.

"Now now.  Let's not resort to violence.  We can work this out in a calm manner,
can't we?  Your problem is you give in too easily to hate, my friend."

Corundite was getting nervous.  For some reason, Chaos was no longer talking to
her anymore.  She silently cursed the fish headed man for brainwashing her
master like this.

"I'm not your goddamned friend, now let me go so I can kick your ass!!"
Cape-Mike screamed in an impotent rage.

"I'm sorry, my friend.  But until you learn to better control your anger and not
let trivial things like this get in the way, I'm going to have to keep you like
this," soothed Kane-Chaos.

"Trivial??  TRIVIAL??!!  Damn you to Hell Chaos!!!"

Kane-Chaos merely shook his head in a condescending manner and waggled a finger.

Corundite, meanwhile, was slowly sneaking up on Carp while Kane-Chaos was
occupied with Cape-Mike.



Otaku was absolutely livid.  "What is he *thinking* falling in love with a
mortal like that?!!" she said, while stalking around her den.

"Oh, this will ruin everything!  Chaos, you nitwit!  How can you let something
like this get in the way!  We were about to win!  To *win*!" she screamed.

Otaku looked into her picture window and saw Kane-Chaos and Carp share another
kiss.  "That does it!  Enough of this charade!  I'm going down there and
straighten him out personally!!"

She ran out the door, pausing only long enough to pick up her purse.

"I'll be damned before I let Order and Death win this thing."



Cape-Mike struggled futilely against the hold that Kane-Chaos had over him.
Kane-Chaos, meanwhile, was still spouting platitudes about the power of love
over hate and other such drivel.  Cape-Mike didn't want to hear this tripe,
especially from one who was his sworn enemy.

Just then, Sailor Ice Blade returned to the fight scene.  She walked into the
room and was about to say something else to her ex-husband, but she stopped in
her tracks at Cape-Mike's predicament.

"Cape Mike-sama!!"

"Stay back... Ice Blade.... I've got.... everything under.... control here!"
struggled Cape-Mike over Kane-Chaos's hold over him.

"Uh huh, right," retorted SIB, "and I suppose you're just waiting for the right
moment to strike huh?"

"...ok, I see... your point..." said Cape-Mike.

"There you go, keep the lines of communication open!" said Kane-Chaos in a
sickeningly sweet voice.

SIB and CM shot Kane-Chaos a sharp look and said, simultaneously, "Stay out of
this!"

"Cape-Mike, you are going to get yourself killed... again... if you don't stop
this foolishness!" SIB pleaded.

"...but I have to... destroy Chaos... even if it's the last thing I do...."
replied CM.

"See, there you go again..." began Kane-Chaos.

"I said shut *up*!" said CM and SIB at the same time.

"But... Ice Blade... you don't... understand..."

"Damn right, I don't understand!  I can't for the life of me understand what you
see in *him* that would lead you to forsake everything....  ...to forsake me!"

"You simply don't understand that in the end, it is *love*, not hate, but *love*
that will triumph in the end.  Isn't that right my sniggle wiggle?  ....sniggle
wiggle?"

Kane-Chaos turned to see Carp being dragged off by an enraged Corundite.

"I shall make you pay for what you have done to the Masterrrr," said Corundite.

"No!!  Help me, wimple pimple!!" screamed Carp.

Kane-Chaos turned to aid his wuzzywumple, completely forgetting to maintain his
hold on Cape-Mike.

"Don't worry, my pooogie looogie!!  I'll save you!!" Kane-Chaos shrieked as he
started toward his beloved.

Suddenly, he felt powerful arms grab him from behind.

K-C sighed wearily.  "Cape-Mike, Cape-Mike, Cape-Mike... I thought we already
went over this.  Beating up on me will solve noth...."

"It's not me," came Cape-Mike's somewhat smug voice from somewhere far behind
him.  It wasn't close enough to be issuing from whoever was holding him.

"Sailor Ice Blade?" he guessed.

"Try again," came SIB's voice.

"Uh... I give up," said Kane-Chaos.

"Hello, brother," came the voice of Otaku.  "I have just one question for
you..."

He felt a powerful force spin him around.

Floating there and looking at him angrily was a Barbie doll.  *This* was the
true incarnation of Otaku.

Otaku took a deep breath.  "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU THINKING?!!  This thing you
have going with that... that... FISH... is going to ruin everything!!  You're
losing your focus!  Our goal is within our grasp and you are letting it slip
away!"

Kane-Chaos smirked.  "You're just jealous because *you* don't have a
wuzzywumple."

Corundite was torn between serving her master and dispatching this annoying fish
man who had subverted him.  Finally, she decided that she would let Otaku handle
Chaos for the moment.  She *was* his sister after all.  She continued to drag
the shrieking Carp from the room.

"Chaos!!!" screamed Carp.

"Carp!!!" screamed Chaos.

Things went into slow motion.  Carp stomped Corundite's foot and started to run
toward his soul mate.  Likewise, Kane-Chaos shrugged off Otaku's hold on him and
started for Carp.

Time returned to normal as the two embraced once again.

"Never again," sobbed Kane-Chaos.

"My wuzzywumple," sniffled Carp.

Then they both turned to face the gathered otaku and Otaku.  Simultaneously,
their eyes began to glow red.[1]

"Hmm... much better," said an approving Otaku.  With a nod to Kane-Chaos, the
Barbie doll disappeared in a poof of flowery scented smoke.

"Masterrr... you have returned!" said Corundite.

"With a vengeance!" said Kane-Chaos.

Carp said, "Allow me to supply the appropriate fight music."  With that, "XTC vs
Adam Ant" began to play in the background.

Kane-Chaos nodded approvingly, while Corundite began to smile evilly.  She
mumbled, "Maybe the fish is not so bad afterrr all."

The trio turned to face the two remaining non-Chaosians in the room.

"Eh oh," said Cape-Mike and Sailor Ice Blade simultaneously.

TBC...?

[1] And no, Carp is not possessed.  He's just using the power of love... to kick
some ass.  ^_^

['A galaxy far, far away' scene switch]

"This is ridiculous!" fumed Order, pounding the centertable, causing
several of her knick-knacks to tumble over at precisely the right angle
to end up symetrically opposite from their original position.

Across from her, Death, choosing the form of Queen Amidala, moistened
her finger and flipped the page to the latest issue of 'Maxim' magazine.
She was comfortably nestled in a loveseat. "I quite agree. Some of these
tips for sex are just bizarre."

"That's not what I'm talking about," Order growled, the obligatory
sweatdrop appearing next to her head. "It's bad enough with Chaos
rampaging willy-nilly through OtakuWorld, but to have Otaku pop in to
aid him is... is..."

"Maddening? Impulsive? Obsessive?" Death provided, still flipping
aimlessly through her magazine. Quietly, she murmured, "Yep, those are
fake."

"Are you listening to me? We're going to lose! Doesn't that mean
anything to you?"

Finally setting the mag aside, Death sat up straight, spent a moment to
set her headpiece correctly, then turned her bored attention to Order.
"Bah. We are not going to lose. You're too paranoid. I've already warned
him-" she nodded in the general direction of Nightman, which
incidentally, was down,"-about their plans. Let the mortals handle it.
They incredibly resourceful, you know."

"They're fighting Chaos himself, Ms. Calm. They don't really stand a
chance. Isn't there something we can do?"

Death snorted. "Like what? Possess one of the Champions like Chaos has?
Do you want Chaos to possess you too? Because that's what's going to
happen when you go down there and add to the chaoticly charged
environment. No, no, dear girl, it best you stay here and watch the
fireworks from afar. Trust in your chosen." Realizing she hadn't really
alleviated Order's frayed nerves, Death added, "If it means that much to
you, why don't you throw your hoo-doo or something. Toss them a bone.
Soon enough, they'll change that bone into a sterling weapon against
Chaos."

Order brightened. "You know, that's a thought."

Picking up a snifter of brandy, Death exhaled softly, emitting a puff of
sparkling white mist. "No, actually, that is a thought. Matahari's, I
believe."

['Whistle while you work' scene switch]

At last, the Great Order was finished, and she smiled, for this was her
most wonderful gift, that she would bestow upon the Otaku Warriors,
hoping that their strength would aid them in the eventual defeat of
Chaos.

She snickered maliciously to herself, highly amused that such an
artifact, ironically, hailed from the Chaos Cauldron itself. She had
stolen a bit of its contents while Chaos trampled the mortal realm, and
now it would of wonderful use.

Raising her hand high, she threw the item with all her might. Across the
cosmos-es-es-es-es did it soar, speeding past the ships 'Red Otaku' and
'Henshin Space Buster'.Finally, with a grand symphony of light, it
crashed into the solemn temple grounds of the Hikawa Shrine.

Order glanced down to see where it landed, then grimaced. "My aims off.
That's no where near Castle Nocturne. Crap!"

Death glanced down with her. "A Reichanian? You gave your aid to a
Reichanian?" She glanced quizzically at Order. "Are you sure you're on
my team?"

Order deigned not to answer. She was considering what else could go
wrong.

['Aeris' death scene switch]

After a week of constant cleaning, and a wonderful amount of praying,
the Hikawa Shrine once again held bastion to the faith of Mars, and the
temple grounds surpassed the pristine level of even the most celebrated
of golf courses. It definitely looked far better than Disneyworld, let
alone Disneyland and EuroDisney.

Gendo Akagi placed the broom back in it's closet, breathing a sigh of
contentment. Surely now that the temple was back on par in beauty with
its goddess, she would feel more at peace. Even the Great Fire burned
with the snappy crackle of Christmas, even though such a holiday was a
month and a half away.

The young man moved towards the entrance of the shrine when, of a
sudden, a streak of light shone from the night sky, like a shooting star
targeted just a wee bit too close for comfort.

Sure enough, the light streaked down, smashed through the invitational
welcoming arch to the temple grounds, and exploded in a spectrum of
devastation, lifting Gendo from his feet and throwing him through the
front door.

For a moment, the priest collected his thoughts, brushing away the aches
and pains of a none-too-gentle landing. Then, with a frown furrowing his
brow, he marched out to the crater, for sure enough, there was a crater,
some ten feet deep and three times in diameter.

At the bottom lay a glowing red hot medallion... and a fire-proof note
reading:

INTENDED FOR USE AGAINST CHAOS AND/OR HIS FRIENDS AND HENCHMEN.
KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN. MAY CAUSE BOUTS OF CLARITY, SERENITY,
AND MILD HEADACHES. FOR BEST RESULTS, BELIEVE IN YOURSELF.

ORDER OF THE MULTIVERSE

And of course, our intrepid disciple misunderstood.

"Order of the Multiverse? Why that would be Her Fiery Majesty herself!"
He instantly fell upon his knees, praising his thanks to the Goddess Rei
for her benevolence. Then, with careful awe, he picked up the medallion
with the tip of his sword, and slid it to his awaiting hand.
Miraculously, the heat dispersed at his touch ("good fortune")[1],
allowing him to investigate it.

It was a simple disc of some strong metallic metal, swathed with
colorful colors and huey hues. Around the edge of the disc were
inscribed each of the eight runes of the Planet Senshi, with the center
rune being that of the moon.

Gendo slipped it around his neck, feeling a sense of elation at his
newly boosted faith. With Rei shining her blessing on him like so, how
could he fail in anything he tried to do? Obviously, his goddess
intended for it's use against this being called Chaos. An enemy of some
sort? A fool then, he decided to himself. He turned back to the temple
to get packed. He had to locate this Chaos, or, at the very least,
garner some information about him/her/it.

The rune of Mars on the Orderite Medallion glowed softly.

['A Wrinkle in Time' scene switch]

"Well, I suppose it's not THAT bad that he got it," Order murmured,
impressed that this Gendo Akagi seemed so humble. "Maybe he can take it
to Castle Nocturne."

"And then? Obviously, you don't want him using it." Death seemed just as
curious about the newcomer as Order.

"Oh, I don't know. Everyone needs a chance to prove themselves. Remember
Justin[2]?"

"Justin? Who's that?"

"You know. The hero from 'Grandia'. He needed several chances to prove
himself."

Death facefaulted, mashing her face into her hand. "That's a video game,
you ninny."

Order ignored her. "Anyway, new blood is always good. Now, let's see
what happens. Canasta[3]?"

Death shrugged. "Sure."

TBC?

Suddenly, a plane roared by above Gendo.  He looked up at the sky and
saw some pieces of paper fluttering to the earth.  One landed near his
feet, and he picked it up.

ATTENTION FAITHFUL WARRIOR!

Now is the time of the greatest crisis!  The magnificent Outer Senshi
Defense Force, supporters of the greatness that is the outer senshi,
have declared war on the vile Minpire, supporters of the ditzy Minako.

The Minpire would like to opress you by making an orange world where
airheaded blondes run open and free, and loyal supporters of Uranus

The Minpire would like to make Sailor V merchandise the only legal
goods in Otaku World!

The Minpire would like to have a Ditzocracy instead of a Democracy!

The Minpire wants factions outlawed!

The Minpire wants to deal with Chaos their own way instead of letting
Nightman do it!

The Minpire would like to force you to watch Minako episodes at least
twice a day!

The Minpire would outlaw any episodes that didn't feature at least 15
minutes of Minako!

The OSDF will win this war.  And when they do, wouldn't *you* like to
be on the winning side?

P.S. Help a poor animal.  Bring cigars.

Gendo facefaulted. "A jihad? Are they nuts? This is a time where we must come
together-" [cue the violin BGM] "- to defeat this enemy Chaos. It is a time
our forefathers..."

In midspeech, he continued reading. The BGM continued playing.

"That doesn't sound like any of my business," Gendo muttered to himself, then
continued reading.

"Now that's pushing it a bit. Religious freedom is an unalienable right that
all Otaku everywhere should be allowed, whether it be Reichanian, or those
misguided souls who seek Haruka at the end of their tunnel." He read on.

Gendo growled. "Blasphemy!"

The priest's ears perked. "Nightman? Who is this Nightman? Surely if he
wishes to deal with Chaos, he will require the assisting faith of the Goddess
Rei." Gendo glanced around. "I'm glad you are listening to me, Mother Rei, as
it would seem the height of foolishness to be speaking to myself."

> The Minpire would like to force you to watch Minako episodes at least

Gendo smirked, highly amused. "Minako-sama did not have quite that many
episodes, but the one's she did have WERE highly entertaining."

The priest fought off the urge to crumple the flyer, repeating a number of
soothing mantras before he could continue reading the steadily increasing
list of heretical notions.

Gendo snorted. "If the OSDF wins, it will be because of the will of the
Senshi of Fire."

The priest blinked. "See-gars?"

"I see that my Lady's sister at arms is less versed in the art of oration
than these other OtakuWarriors. And yet, an entire empire seems to follow her
every whim. Most assuredly, this is the effect of her unsurpassed beauty."
Gendo shrugged to himself, folding both propaganda and slipping them into his
pocket. "No matter. The Lady of Fire will create a suitable outcome for
jihad."

"Now, to find this Nightman," he muttered, fingering the Orderite Medallion.
"Surely he must be a Champion of the Holy Order of Mars if Her Majesty was so
kind as to point out his name in my hour of need. A most benevolent and
watchful deity you are, my Burning Fire." He made an absolution to Rei, then
proceeded to leave the Hikawa Shrine.

 And to the hospital they did go.  But this wasn't just any hospital, it was
Lane County Hospital in the city of Forest Grove, Oregon. [1]  Both Ferchan
and NeoAmi-chan were a little surprised to see that Frank was already there,
and didn't seem to be suffering from wounds that were inflicted upon him
earlier by Rook's gun.  He was wearing a white doctor's coat and was
ordering people around.
 "Get these two into surgery, stat!  I want full blood chems done up, and a
cold glass of lemonade to drink while I go over them."  He swaggered over to
the side of the stretcher that NAC was on and looked down at her with an
expression that was between love and greed.  "Don't worry, I'll get you all
nice and fixed up for our wedding."  With that, he waved over an
anesthesiologist and NAC was put under.  One gurney over, Ferchan rolled her
eyes, why did NAC always get all the attention...



 With gentle piano music playing in the background, head shots of the
primary characters fade in randomly on the screen.  Each person's image
gives a joyful little laugh and a turn of the head, before fading away
again.  The words "As The Otaku World Turns" appears, and then all fades to
black.



 NAC roused awake from her post-surgery haze.  What she saw, made her wish
she hadn't.  Frank, the head surgeon at Lane County, was standing there, smi
ling down at her.  "Welcome back to the land of the living, darling."
 "Thank Mizuno we're in Oregon, it's legal for you to kill me here," [2] NAC
groaned, offering Frank an arm to inject her full of drugs.
 "No, no, no, I don't think so, Ms. Chan.  I need you to be alive so I can
marry you and then take all your money away," Frank replied, revealing his
half-assed scheme to all the middle aged house wives at home who were glued
to the screen.
 "Me marry you?  Oh lord, you have got to be kidding.  I, NeoAmi-Chan, a
successful wealthy lawyer who has been married to nearly every man in town,
marry a low life creep like you?  I think not."  Frank smiled deviously and
then reached into the inside pocket of his lab coat and pulled out a couple
of photo graphs.  It showed NAC in bed with a guy in a ferret suit.[3]
NAC's mouth dropped open, and half a scream escaped.  "Where did you get
that?"
 "Oh, I have my resources, now then, what kind of cake do you think we
should have?"

<-- "I made $2600 thanks to the NASDAQ today" Scene Switch -->

 Ferchan was already out of the hospital and home, despite the fact that her
older step-sister, NeoAmi-chan, was still stuck there.  She was relaxing on
the couch watching TV, when Der Korben Durok came bumbling down the stairs.
He was her third cousin by marriage, and used to be the District Attorney
until his fraternal twin brother, Rooks, had spilled some Pepsi One on him.
Ever since then, he was an unintelligible idiot who spent his waking hours
on the computer, tying up the phone line.
 "Hi Der," Ferchan called to him listlessly.
 "Hola!" yelled DKD back as he wandered into the kitchen.  The phone rang,
which was an unusual occurrence in the house due to the almost constant use
of the line by DKD.  Ferchan hopped off the couch and grabbed the phone
before DKD could scare off the caller with his wildman speak.
 "Hello...she is?...How bad?...I see...can I come down...uh huh...uh
huh...ok, thank you.  Good bye."  DKD came running out of the kitchen and
back up the stairs to get himself reconnected to the Internet.  Yes,
addiction is a sad thing folks, a very sad thing indeed.

<-- "The part of Ryu, will be played by Rooks" Scene Switch -->

 Rooks sat in his big comfy chair and watched the market reports as they
came in.  It had not been the best of days for Corvus Enterprises.  Of
course the fact that he had killed off the last CEO, Ryu, and had renamed
the company after himself might have had something to do with it.  Luckily
for him, he had rendered his twin-brother Korb unable to prosecute him for
this, by causing his alternative personality to emerge with a spilled can of
Pepsi One.  Yes, his little plan was working out just fine.
 The little intercom button buzzed at him and Rooks spun around in his chair
to face it.  "Rooks here, what is it, I'm a very busy man."
 "Sir, there is a Dr. Frank on the line for you."  Rooks smiled an evil
smile, he knew what this was concerning.
 "Very well, put him through, and please no disturbances while I'm on the
phone."  He put on his nifty little head set phone thing and connected to
the line.  "Corvus here.  Is the plan a go?...Excellent...your help shall be
rewarded.  Let me know if anything changes, Corvus out."  Nothing would stop
him now.  He would retain control over this company and would succeed in
taking over the law firm of Chan, Chan, and Chan, now that the only lawyer
there was being forced to hand it over.  Yes things were looking good for
the rich bastard, except that fate had a little something in store for him.

<-- "Gotta Catchem' All" Scene Switch -->

 "Unca Korby!!!!!!!" squealed Harold as he ran to the closed door where DKD
shut himself up for days on end.  "I wanna go to the Pokémon movie, I wanna
go to the Pokémon movie, I wanna go to the Pokémon movie, I wanna go to the
Pokémon movie, I wanna go to the Pokémon movie, I wanna go to the Pokémon
movie, I wanna go to the Pokémon movie, I wanna go to the Pokémon movie, I
wanna go to the Pokémon movie!!!"  Slowly the door opened and DKD popped his
head out.
 "Nani?" [4]
 "I wanna go to the Pokémon movie," Harold replied.
 "Benissimo, andiamo." [5]
 "Yeay!" yelled the little man/girl/dog thing.
 "Ugh, eu estou indo começar agora um ache principal para certo..." [6]
muttered DKD as Harold grabbed him and dragged him out of the house and to
the movie theater.
 Once there, DKD was subjected to hundreds of kids playing with their toy
Pokéballs, pretending to summon various Pokémon from them.  Harold of course
joined right in with them.  DKD could feel his head begin to throb. "Ack,
ici il vient," [7] he groaned.  Just then, a passing kid tripped over DKD's
outstretched feet and spilled his cup of Coke all over DKD.  "Augh, what the
hell..." he began and then stopped in surprise.  "I can speak!  Well, I
could speak before, but I actually make sense now!"  His moment of joy faded
as he remembered what needed to be done.  "I'm coming for you brother.  Your
little plan is coming to an end." [8]

[1] Ok, so the city of Forest Grove isn't in Lane county, but it sounds good

I'm posting this for Jason Bramlett:

*****

Deep within the dark bowels of a subleased base of operations, we find
our hero sitting in a makeshift throne room...

"Doom requires Hostess Fruit Pies!"
"Utinni!"
"Out?!  Doom knows not of the meaning of out!"
"Utinni!"
"Oh... so that's what it means... to me my doombots!"

Our hero, still in his delusions of being said villain, Dr. Doom,
motions toward the darkness.  And crawling forth comes a large furry
horny mass of devil monkeys of the winged variety... a hundred or so...
maybe... you try counting horny winged devil monkeys.

"Ah, my doombots.  Go out and loot and pillage!  Bring back the Hostess
Fruit Pies that Doom desires so."
"Eeeeee!   Eeeeee!  Eeeeeee!"

And with that, a large portion of the wall is destroyed as the devil
monkeys cut a swath from the building to a local WalMart near you.

"So, now you've stooped to using devil monkeys.  We both know you can do
better than that," speaks a cloaked figure emerging from the shadows...
oooo, spooky.
"Who dares to enter Doom's secret... err, not secret anymore inner
sanctum?!?"
"I do."
"Doom has gathered that much.  Who are you?"
"I'm just a messenger."
"Doom has no desire for your Joan of Arc schtick.  Doom knows Joan
burned at the stake."
"Err... right.  Anyway, I've got a favor to ask."
"Doom gives favors to no man!"
"How about a woman?"
"Doom gives favors to no... depends."
"On what?"
"That's not important."

Minako pulls down the hood of her cloak and wipes a tear.  "The OSDF is
besmearing my good name.  They make outrageous claims about how evil I
am.  I'm not evil, I just want to be loved... by a Minpire of adoring
fans.  Is that so wrong?"
"Doom cares not about your 'Minpire'.  Doom seeks only to control...
stop with your sobbing!  Doom hates crying!  It will not work on Doom!"
"*sob* Please?"
"No!"
" Fine, I didn't want to resort to this but...
SuperSteve is back with the OSDF."
"RICHARDS?!?  Accursed Richards!  How thou dost taunt Doom at every
turn!  Doom will destroy you and you pitiful Fantastic Four!"
"So you'll do it?"
"Doom will crush Richards and his Fantastic Four!  For there can be only
Doom!"
"I'll take that as a yes."
"RICHARDS!!!"

"Se parece tan[1]," replied Ryu de la Sombra.  For convenience's sake, subtitles
appeared above their heads for those not fluent in the Spanish language (like
this author ^_^).

#So it seems.#

"¿Qué usted está haciendo aquí?" said Medellia Red darkly.

#What are you doing here?#

"Igual que usted. Busco el Pegaso y el Telecontrol Santo."

#The same as you.  I seek el Pegaso and the Holy Remote.#

"Hmm," said Medellia Red, "entonces nuestras metas es similar. ¿Qué debemos
ahora hacer?"

#Hmm, then our goals are similar.  What should we do now?#

"Con la destrucción del Cañón de la Molestia, hay muy poco...." pondered Ryu de
la Sombra.

#With the destruction of the Annoyance Cannon, there is very little....#

"RRRRAAAAAUUURRRGGH," rrrraaaaauuurrrgghed a voice from directly beneath Ryu de
la Sombra.

"Hmm, his voice is almost as on par with yours, Meenie," noted Chibi-Youma, from
a short distance away.

"Why thank you Youma-chan," Meenie pouted.

"Un momento, por favor..." said Ryu de la Sombra.

#One moment, please...#

He then looked down to see the formerly unconscious Gruesome Demon staring up at
him angrily.

Ryu de la Sombra furrowed a brow.  "Impar... Mi Asesinato Instante del Infierno
debe haber derrotadole..."

#Odd...  My Instant Hell Murder should have defeated you...#

TK|M, reading the subtitles, strode up to the two natives of Admiracion Mundo.
"Pardon me, but I see you are having trouble with this beast.  I have done
battle with him in the past and would like to offer you aid."

"Sea mi huésped," said Ryu dlS.  He and Medellia Red moved away from the GD, who
was now floundering about on the ground, trying to get up.

#Be my guest.#

TK|M leapt atop of the remains of the Annoyance Cannon, the highest thing he
could find.

"Stop right there you repugnant devil!  As a being of evil, your presence here
is unwanted!  Annoying weapons are meant to annoy, but you attempt to subvert
this by using it for pure evil!  This I cannot allow!  In the name of my liege,
the great Endymion, I shall annihilate you!"

He drew his rose tipped broadsword, held it aloft for a couple of seconds, then
lowered it.  A speck appeared in the distant sky.

Knowing full well what was coming, Tuxedo Zorro yelled, "Take cover everyone!!!"

Even with advance warning, they were almost not able to avoid the Saturn V sized
rose that slammed into the Gruesome Demon.

"That was... excessive," quipped Farix from behind a large piece of the AC.

"Heh, no joke," replied Leloni Bunny.

Excessive or not, the rose was not enough to stop the raging monstrosity.  With
a scream of utter hate, the GD clawed its way out from beneath the mound of rose
petals.

"No no no no no!" said T-Chan to TK|M.  "You've got it all wrong, my friend!
*This* is how you handle a big guy like that."  With that, he walked right up to
the rampaging demon, pulled out a large fish, and whacked him upside the head
with it.  The Gruesome Demon was promptly floored.

"That was a... uh... most effective weapon.  So what... what kind of fish...
um... is that anyway?" queried Dr. Malcom.

T-Chan shrugged.  "I just hit him with the Yellowfin Tuna of Happiness is all.
It won't keep him out for long though, so I suggest we do something to weaken
him so I can put him back in my Otakeball."

"¿Qué usted sugiere?" asked Medellia Red.

#What do you suggest?#

"Well, girl-who-sorta-looks-like-someone-I-know," replied T-Chan.  "I would
suggest laxatives.  He's really sensitive to laxatives.  Preferably hidden
within delicious Little Debbie brand 'Devil Cremes' filled cakes.  They're his
favorite you know."

"Where are we going to get laxatives?  Or those cake things?" asked Farix.  He
looked over at Leloni Bunny, who shrugged.

"Well, we *did* make that cake not to long ago," said Leloni.

"That's... ah... very good," said Dr. Malcom, "You guys make the... uh...
cakes.  And you... um guys," he pointed to TK|M, TuxZ, and T-Chan, "you help
them.  And you two," he pointed to Ryu de la Sombra and Medellia Red, "you...
ah... go to the nearest... um, nearest Walmart and get the... the laxatives."
He then turned to Chibi-Youma and Meenie.  "And you guys... um guy and girl...
uh... you go too.  We'll... ah... need a lot."

"What will you do?" asked TK|M, as he replaced his top hat with a chef's hat.

"Me?  Oh... uh... I'll just... um.... keep this guy busy," replied Malcom.

Dr. Ian Malcom, famed Chaos Theory expert, walked up to the Gruesome Demon.  He
was promptly swatted into a nearby tree.

Fortunately, he stalled the GD long enough for the others to complete their
preparations.

"Abra al individuo ancho, grande," said Ryu de la Sombra as he tossed one of the
concotions into the air.

#Open wide, big guy.#

T-Chan swung the Yellowfin Tuna of Happiness and knocked the pseudo-Little
Debbie/Ex-Lax combo into the GD's waiting mouth.

Almost immediately, the Gruesome Demon began to hop around uncomfortably.

"There, now he's weak enough," noted T-Chan.  He tossed the Otakeball at the GD,
who was promptly swallowed into it.

"Ahora, podemos continuar nuestra búsqueda para encontrar el Pegaso," said Ryu
de la Sombra.

#Now, we can continue our quest to find el Pegaso.#

"¿Sí, pero donde es él?" replied Medellia Red.

#Yes, but where is he?#

"If you guys are looking for eP," said Leloni Bunny, "he was in the Castle
Nocturnæ last I saw."

"El Castillo Nocturnæ? Venido, Medellia Red, estemos en nuestra manera."

#The Castle Nocturnæ?  Come, Medellia Red, let's be on our way.#

The two Admiracion Mundo natives turned and stalked off toward the Castle
Nocturnæ.

Chibi-Youma looked at Meenie.  "Well, Meenie, it seems we've failed Otaku for
now.  What do you want to do now?"

"I don't know, Youma-chan," replied Meenie, "what do you want to do?"

Chibi-Youma sighed.

"Speaking of the Castle Nocturnæ," said Farix, a little distance away, "now that
this foolishness is over with, shouldn't we be getting back there as well?"

"Hmm, you're right," replied Leloni.  "Well then, let's go."  She turned to
T-Chan, TuxZ, and TK|M.  "What about you guys?"

"We're looking for Kane," said T-Chan.

"We hear he's there," added Tuxedo Zorro.

"And you?" said Leloni to TK|M.

"I must return to the Temple," said TK|M.  "But worry not, my lavender furred
friend, I'll see *you* later."  He glared at Leloni darkly, before disappearing
in a burst of light and sound.

"Whatever," Leloni giggled, "I think you're just scared."  She looked over at
Meenie and Chibi-Youma.  "Hey you guys!  Come over here a minute, would ya?"

"Yes?" said Chibi-Youma.

"You," said Leloni, regarding Meenie, "your voice... it's *just* what I need."

"Nani?" asked Meenie.

Leloni winced, but then smiled widely.  "Yes, just perfect.  So, you guys want
to come with us?  We're going to teach Chaos a thing or two."

"Halt," she said, holding up a stop sign. Everyone sweatdropped. "I won't

"Oh, were we doing that?" Aureal pikued and looked around. "I thought we
were getting rid of all these plushie thingies..." She tried to appear
innocent, but didn't succeed.

"Yeah, sure you weren't," Nic-chan snorted.

SuperSteve looked at the three would-be saboteurs: the Mad Dwarf,
obliviously reading the Ami-chan fanfic; the Minakochanian wielding the
powerful Illumina sword; and the obsessed Amichanian. Wait a minute,
Amichanian? He blinked and looked down at the extra fanfic given to him by
the departed Night Senshi. He looked back at I Abibde, engrossed in the
fanfic, and an idea crossed his mind.

"Drat, looks like we've got to deal with her first," Tenchi muttered,

about sabotaging the OSDF..." He charged at Nic-chan, but she turned
invisible and stepped away. "What the..." Tenchi skidded to a halt, looking
around. "Where'd she go?" he asked Aureal, who shrugged nonchalantly.

"Ah ha!" SuperSteve exclaimed triumphantly, popping up in front of Aureal
suddenly. "You're not sabotaging _this_ ship!" With that, he tossed the
spare fanfic, "The Pink and the Blue," in Aureal's face. She blinked,
staring at it for a moment. "No Amichanian can resist a fanfic almost
entirely about Ami!" SS cackled.

"Ano..." Aureal raised an eyebrow. Her eyes wandered across the first page.
It really was an Ami-chan fanfic, she noted. She kept reading, line after
line after line after line after plane... er, wait, that's geometry, sorry.
Anyway, she kept reading, realizing that she didn't really need to fight
anyone. After all, she was just trying to get them to eliminate each other.
So she kept reading, letting everyone think she was completely engrossed in
the fanfic. And it was a good story, too.

Nic-chan, meanwhile had become visible again and had assumed the shape of a
very large, heavy looking hammer and was floating around the room trying to
bop Tenchi over the head while he tried to slice her in half with his sword.
Neither of them was having much success, though, as they ran around the room
like that for a while. Finally, he got tired of it. "Pearl!" he yelled,
casting the Pearl spell from his sword. The white blast of energy sent
Nic-chan sailing backwards into the wall.

"Well, that didn't work..." she muttered, getting up and turning into a
10-foot-long snake. Tenchi sweatdropped as she quickly slithered over and
coiled around him, rendering him immobile.

"Hey!" Tenchi yelled, thrashing around. "Let go!"

"Well, I guess the ship is safe now..." SuperSteve trailed off as two things
happened simultaneously. One, I Abibde finished the last chapter of
"Liberating the Waters" and turned his attention back to the events
transpiring in the engine room. Two, Aureal got to the Chibiusa part of "The
Pink and the Blue."

"CHIBIUSA?!?!?!?!" she shrieked in a towering fury. "How DARE they feature
someone other than Mercury-sama in a story about her?!?!?!" SuperSteve and
Nic-chan sweatdropped slightly as the two Amichanians on either side of them
both suddenly brought their attention to bear on them.

TBC?
