Lost Worlds
Part three

MSTing by: M. H. Torringjan

Original story by: Adam Sheehan

	This is the longeest part of the story, so it's going to be a bit longer than usual.  I'll 
try to keep the host segments shorter to save on space.

	Outside of the theatre, Michelle and the bots are standing beside some booths.  
There are streamers lining the room in the colors of red and blue.  Michelle notices that no 
one is explaining, so she takes it upon herself.
	"Welcome back, everyone!" Michelle begins.  "Today, we decided to settle an age-
old question which has plagued mankind since the beginning of time.  That question being, 
which hench-man is better, Torgo or Ortega?  We decided that we would have a democratic 
election-type thing to decide the winner of better hench-man.  We're just about to start the 
debates.  Join us, won't you?"
	Tom takes the pedastal and begins his speech.  "Torgo, what a guy!  He's a loyal 
worker, a good lover, and the best darn side-kick around!  Let's take, for example, his role 
in Manos: the Hands of Fate.  He stood by his Master for God- sorry, Satan- knows how 
long, waiting for the right woman to come along to throw to his master.  What did he ask 
in return?  One lousy wife!  And he didn't even get it!  He still stood fast!  He served for 
perhaps hundreds of years (or hours) under the slings and arrows of a bigamist boss 
without even flinching!  And why?  Because he knew the healing powers of Herbal 
Essences shampoo!"  Just then, the Umbilicus port opened and a pile of money landed on 
the floor.  Tom pounced on it eagerly.
	"What does shampoo have to with Torgo?" Mike asked from off-stage.
	"Why don't you ask her for yourself?" Tom suggested.  Mike just shrugged and 
motioned Crow to proceed with his speech.
	"Ortega!  He's a good lackey!  He knows how to get the job done, while working 
with an ugly crow of a woman!  He lures them in, does what is told to him, and he does it 
with style!  He could probably even satisfy Scrooge if he wanted to!  Also, if you met him 
as a friend, you'd probably get to like him!"  Crow boomed out.
	"Um, Crow?" Mike called from off-stage.  "Where are the hard facts of this 
campaign?"
	"Probably in the box, as Alfred Hitchcock observes," Crow said.
	"I think that that was something else, Crow," Michelle observes.
	"Bite me," Crow exclaims as fanfic sign goes off.
	"The results of that election after the fic," Mike exclaims as he runs into the theatre.

Door 6: It's a curtain of peace beads.  You push them out of the way and get a whiff of 
marijuana smoke as you pass through.

Door 5: It opens from the center, spiralling outward.

Door 4: It's a castle moat.  The gate falls and misses your feet by inches.

Door 3: It's a wall of bone.  You break it down, only to have it rebuilt by an invisible 
force.  You decide to go around it instead.

Door 2: It's in the shape of a heart.  You board a small ship and ride it through the door.

Door 1: It's a vault door.  The center ring swirls and the door opens easily.

	Everyone sits down, ready for another mental bashing.  Tom is reminded of a Dr. 
Thinker fic after Hooked on Phonics.

All: (Hums the Star Wars theme)

>Author's notes: This third chapter is the begining of the real story.

Mike: Then, what were the first two parts?
Crow: The prequel.
Mike: So, this is Lost Worlds 2: Adam's Back, and He's Pissed?

>More
>characters, and the plot starts fitting into the script.

Tom: You see, we've actually been reading the script for Gettysburg this whole time.

>It is good for this
>chapter that you know the storys behind Ranma 1/2, Sailor Moon, & Project
>A-Ko.

Michelle: Cross-over number two!
Tom: in which more pointless cameos will be entertained.

>It won't make that much sence if you don't. Don't be alarmed if some
>of the charecters you don't know. Some of them I have created.

Crow: (Adam) The rest of it is me!  Me, me, me, me, me!

>If you don't

>CHAPTER 3

>A New Hope

Tom: (Obi-Wan) I sense a disturbance

> I woke up the next morning about 8:30.  I spent last night sleeping on the
>living room floor.  I was late

Crow: Adam might be pregnant?
Michelle: Oh, thank you for that lovely mental image.
Tom: Oh, I've got "Junior" flashbacks

>and I really didn't care were I slept since I
>was still really tired from  yesterday.  I was wakened by the smell of
>pancakes coming from the kitchen.  I thought for a second that I was at my
>mothers house and that she was making breakfast.

Mike: (Adam's mom) Adam, come and get your possum pie!

>That yesterday was just a
>dream.  It couldn't have really happened.  Then when I became more alert and
>aware of things I realized that

Tom: I couldn't write!

>it wasn't.  I felt a little depressed but
>I've always had a knack too bounce back in bad situations.
> Kasumi came in and said, "Good morning."
> I tried to open my eyes and work out a smile.  I replied," morning."
> "I have made pancakes and toast.  I hope you like them."

Mike: (Kasumi) laced with arsenic!

> " yes, thank you.  I love pancakes."  I got up and stretched, realized that
>I slept in my clothes last night.  They were untucked and wrinkled now.  I
>didn't care.  I walked into the dinning room.  Which was really just the
>room next to the fish pond with a little table in the middle.

Tom: Why are you asking us?  For Pete's sake, it's your story!

>The only
>person in the room was Nabiki.  She was warring an over sized blue shirt
>with a picture of a duck holding some balloons.  It looked to me as if she
>just got up too.  "Good morning." She said.

Crow: (Adam) What's so good about it?

> "Morning.  Where is everybody else?"
> " I believe there still a sleep."  Kasumi said.

All: (look around) Where?

> "Don't worry as soon as he smells the food, Ranma will be down."  Nabiki
>said," and that will wake up Akane.  Who will start yelling and that will
>wake up Daddy and Mr. Saotome normally but I think that there so hung over
>to care."

Michelle: yeah, they hit the booze hard!

> It sounded to me like they do this every morning.  A very repetitive
>relationship.  This was defiantly the Ranma story I knew.

Mike: Yeah, Ranma!  Fight that self-insert!

>"I washed your
>cloths that you were warring yesterday."  Kasumi said," I left them in the
>living room."
> I twas woundering ware I left them.

Crow: The hell?  He turned into Ratliffe for a second there.

>"Thank you"  I said.
> I had just sat down and started to poor some syrup on my pancakes when I
>heard from up stairs, " All right breakfast."
> "Shut up!  There are people trying to sleep around here."  Yep, the morning
>had now officially started.

Tom: It was the first day of self-insert season!
Michelle: Finally! (Grabs shotgun from under the chair)
Crow: (Elmer Fudd) Be vewy, vewy qwiet.  We'we hunting Adams!
Tom: Aaah!  Get that thing away from me!
Michelle: Okay. (puts gun away)

> Ranma came running in to the kitchen.  He grabbed a stack of toast,
>buttered them and ran out the door on to the long patio around the dojo. 

Michelle: (Ranma) Must get out of this fic!

>Akane quickly followed.  she was waving around a big stick with nail through
>it.

Mike: Since when is Akane a sadist?

>I was surprised by the speed of both of them.  I guess I was the only
>one who found this odd since no one else even reacted to them.
> Well you know what they say.  When in Rome, do as the Romans.

Crow: What about when in Nerima?
Tom: Just smile and nod

>So I just
>went back to eating breakfast and tried to ignore them.  You would hear an
>acational moan from up stares for every one to be more quiet.

Tom: Yeah, the vampires in the attic were trying to sleep!

>I don't think
>that really did any thing since Ranma was still getting chased around.
> I finished eating and stood up.  As I was picking up my dishes to take them
>to the kitchen I heard a loud crash, then a splash, and then silence.

Tom: Oh, no!  Kasumi finally lost hold of sanity!

>Akane
>came in with a smile sat down and started to eat some pancakes.  I couldn't
>help but ask," where's Ranma?"

Mike: (Akane) He's taking a bath, finally.

> Akane looked up at me with a smile and said, "oh, he's  alittle tied up at
>the moment."

Tom: Pointless sight gag on the way!

> I walked out the door and saw Ranma, in female form, tied up to one of the
>big stones.

All: (muted trumpet) Wah, wah, WAAAHHH!

>She was hanging upside down with a big wad of toast crammed in
>her mouth.  The butter was dripping down the side of her face.  It was
>starting to get onto her yellow shirt and blue shorts she was warring.

Michelle: Uuum Continuity?  If she was hanging upside down, then the butter couldn't 
drip down the side of her face and get her clothes messy.
Tom: You're stretching for that one, girl.

>The
>big stick Akane was swinging around was stuck in the rock.
> I felt obligated to let him down.  I put my dishes down on the floor boards
>and walked over.  I untied her and said," You OK man?"

Mike: (Ranma-chan) Who's a man?

> She spat out the toast and said," Yea, I'm OK.  Boy can she be a pain some
>times."
> I helped her up and we walked over to the house again.  I picked up my
>dishes and we headed to the kitchen.  I put my dish in the sink where Kasumi
>was washing up.

Tom: (Kasumi) Must get the blood off!  Why won't it come off?!

>Ranma grabbed the tea pot on the stove and poured it on her
>self.  She quickly turned into a he.  Kasumi looked around at Ranma and
>said," oh dear, I hope Akane wasn't to ruff on you this morning.

Crow: Yeah, Akane is a bit-
Mike: Crow

>You know
>how she can get high spirited some times."

Tom: No, the Southern Baptists are high-spirited.  She's just plain nasty!
Mike: Hush!  Do you want us to get flamed?

> "Yea, I'm OK."  Ranma replied.
> "That's good.  Would you like some toast?"  Kasumi said.

Michelle: (Ranma) No, thanks, I already had some that defied gravity.

> Ranma quickly replied," No.  That quite all right.  I think I'm going to
>skip breakfast today."
> "When do you want to get started today?"  I asked him.

Tom: (Ranma) As soon as I can sedate Akane.

> "Well I'll call every one now.  You go take a bath.  I will know everything
>by the time you get out."  Ranma said.

Tom: (Adam) Thanks, but I already know that.
Mike: Isn't that a bit aspiring, saying that you'll know everything?

> I said OK grabbed my clothes and went up stares.  Passed Mr. Saotomes
>room.  He was lying half way on the bed and hung over the floor.

Crow: (announcer) Watch as the amazing saotome levitates!  No strings!  No mirrors!

>He was
>still a panda.  I guess he wasn't awake enough to change back.  I walked in
>to the bathroom and looked around first.   Just to make sure that no one
>else was here.  I mean I didn't want to get Akane pissed again by walking in
>on her.  I knocked on the door that lead to the bath and said," is anyone in
>there?"

Michelle: Nobody here but us chickens!

> There was no answer so I took off what I was warring and walked in.  It
>pays to be cautious sometimes.  I took a quick bath and got dressed.

Tom: And I realized that, in my haste, I had grabbed some of Nabiki's clothes.

>I went
>down stares into the hall way were Ranma was on the phone.  I walked over
>and over herd him say," OK then I will see you there.(There was a pause)
>Yep, I got it.  Bye."

Mike: Anybody know why he said, "there was a pause"?
Tom: Maybe his brain waves skipped and he wrote it down.

> "Who was that?"  I asked.
> Ranma answered," That was Darrien.  He said that everyone's ready to go,
>well exempt for Serrina but they'll get her up.  We are suppose to meet them
>in the park in half an hour (that was 10:00).

Michelle: And we care about the time because...?
Crow: We don't!!  We just want to get out of here!!

>So take a seat and read the
>paper or something while everyones getting ready."
> I said OK and went into the living room and sat down.  Mr. Tendo was up now
>sitting in the kitchen sipping tea with tears running down his face.

Michelle: He just saw Titanic for the first time.

>He
>looked extremely tired and beat.  That's what saki will do if you drink to
>much of it.

Tom: Kind of like inter-diensional travel making you hungry.

> I sat down in one of the chairs in the living room, picked up a magazine
>called Infinite Yen.

Crow: Occupy all of the banks in Japan at once.

>Flipping through the pages, it seemed that this
>magazine was all about the rich and famous.  Tales of what fun things rich
>people do with there money.  This had to be Nabiki's.  I was about too put
>it down when a picture caught my eye.

Mike: (Adam) Hey!  Miss Accountant November!

>It was a picture of B-Ko and her
>father Mr. Daitokuji.  They were standing beside a big satellite dish with a
>bunch of scientists.  There was an article below the picture.  The article
>was titled 'Wealth or Weird'.  I started reading it.

Michelle: My vote is Weird.  Anyone agree?
All: (raise hands)

> Mr. Daitokuji, one of our favorite rich people, has gone and bought himself
>something very different.  He purchased the MTG3000

Tom: Richard Garfield won't be too happy when he reads this.
Crow: Yes, it's Expansion number forty two from Wizards of the West Coast!

>satellite dish(one of
>the biggest satellite dishes in the world) .

Crow: You'd think that Jody Foster would be trying to get her hands on it.

>This dish was once owned by
>NASA(the American space program).  It was used to pick up any surposed
>interdimentional signals.

All: EXCUSE ME?!?!
Michelle: (laughing) Okay, everyone!  The results are in!  This is the biggest Plot 
Contrivance that has been recorded by our author!

>NASA stopped using it last year since they could
>not afford to keep the project going.

Mike: Tha fact that there was no scientific basis behind it didn't help, either.

> Mr. Daitokuji first thought of it when his daughter B-Ko told him about
>it.  We got a chance to ask Mr. Daitokuji why he bought it.  His response
>was," Well I've been meaning to spend some more time with my daughter and
>she's interested in this type of stuff.

Tom: ...although she's more interested in C-ko.

>Any what's a few million Yen, I
>mean this might prove interesting."

Michelle: I suddenly find myself wishing that this was my father.

> Well it seems that Mr. Daitokuji has just bought it to spend some time with
>his daughter,

Crow: Seeing as how he said that himself.

>or is there more to this story?  Well we might not ever know
>but this was one of the more weird purchases this year by the Daitokuji
>family.

Michelle: The weirdest being a warehouse full of robotic toy cats.

> Could this be the reason for my trip here.

Mike: There was a *reason*?

>I didn't know but it was worth
>looking into.

Mike: They had to further the plot somehow.

>I sat there and thought about what would happen if I could
>not get back.  I mean I could stay and work at the dojo, if they let me.  Or
>mabey find a job and move in to the city.  And what about my family and
>friends at home.  How would they cope with my odd disappearance?

Crow: I sense something along the lines of joining the circus and becoming elephant 
pooper scoopers.

> Just then Ranma came down and said," Were all ready so lets go."
> I got up and followed him out the front door were Kasumi, Nabiki, and Akane
>were standing.  We got outside and headed towards the park when I felt
>obliged to say something.

Tom: (Adam) Supercalifragelisticexpialidocious!

>" I would like to thank you guys for, you know,
>everything."  They stopped and turned to look at me.  "You helped me when I
>was lying in the street.  Giving me a place to stay, food to eat, cloths to
>wear,

Crow: ...a potential alibi.

>and now your helping me find a way home.  I just felt like I had to
>say thanks."

Michelle: Well, he may be a gaijin otaku self-insert, but I'll give him this; he's a polite 
gaijin otaku self-insert.

> "It's no problem man, glad to help."  Ranma said.
> "I am happy to help such a nice person such as you."  Kasumi said
> "Helping people is what friends do, and I consider you a friend of mine." 
>Akane said.

Michelle: (Akane) ...even though we just met yesterday, I don't know anything about you, 
and you tried to make a peep show out of my bath time!

> "Lets just say you owe me one."  Nabiki said.

Tom: Well, we know one person who's in character.

> We continued walking until we got to the center of the park.  The stage was
>still up and there was some trash on the ground from last night.  Everyone
>was there talking. We walked up and said our hellos.  They were all dressed
>very casual, mostly T-shirts and jean shorts.  Serrina still seemed very
>asleep even with Raye yelling in her ear.  Reni walked up to me with a big
>smile holding a red pin-wheel, blowing in the wind.

Mike: She's the absolute picture of child-like innocence!
All: (laugh wildly)

>I kneeled down to see
>her at eye level.  She came up and said,

Crow: (Rini) Look, man, I've got a can of mace in my Luna-ball.  Just back away slowly 
and no one'll get hurt.

>" Good morning."
> "Morning."  I said.
> "Don't worry about nothin'.  With a group like this you'll be home before
>dinner.  Even with Serrina coming along."  Reni said.
> I looked at her, smiled, and said," I'm not worried.  I know that I'll get

Mike: (Adam) ...my ass kicked by some weird youma.
Michelle: Not bloody likely, with him at the keyboard.

>home some how."
> I stood up and walked over to Darien who was talking to Ranma and Amy. 
>"What's the plan for to day?" I asked Darien.

Crow: (Darien) I don't know.  I'm just here because I think it'll help me get laid.
Mike: Crow...

> That's what we were discussing.  Amy was telling me about some
>weird...ah...what did you call them again?"
> Amy gave him a look like you should have been paying attention the first
>time I said it,

Tom: Is he talking to us?
Michelle: No.
Tom: Then, who's he talking to?
Michelle: Well... he's talking to... um... I don't know, but he'd damn well better not be 
talking to us.

>"temporal displacement.  They seem to be happening in small
>bursts, and are located around the same area in the downtown area."
> "Is there anything else?" I asked.

Mike: (Amy) Well, there was that little bit about Bigfoot!

> Ranma took a step forward as if making himself noticed to the group. "Well
>there are a lot of weird groups who hangout in this small town about 3 miles
>from here.  There are all types of different freaks there.

Michelle: Oscar, Jenova, the Elephant Man, Dudley Moore, Leonardo DiCaprio...

>There's a good
>chance someone could know something.  Do you have anything to add?"

Crow: Four thousand five hundred forty-two and nine thousand three and thirty-seven.

> "Yes, actually I do" I said.  "I was reading an article this morning about
>this rich guy named Daitokuji who bought this satellite dish from NASA for
>his daughter B-Ko."

Tom: Turns out, the satellite was a lemon, and they only got 20,000 light years out of it.
Mike: That's what they get for buying from NASA.

> "OK then why don't we split into three groups and go check out these
>places."  Darien said.
> It sounded good and made sense, but what are the groups going to be?  We
>all looked at Serrina and Raye arguing over something meaningless and I
>said," We better split up those two before all hell brakes out."

Michelle: (Satan) Darn!  So close, too!

>They
>quickly agreed.
> In about five minutes we had the groups made up.  Raye, Kasumi, Mina, and
>the cats would check out the weird suburb.  Darien, Amy, Serrina, and Akane
>would go downtown to check out the temporal disturbances.  That left Ranma,
>Lita, Nabiki, Reni, and I to check out Mr. Daitokuji's place.  Reni was
>excited, and her pinwheel spun in the wind as she jumped up and down.  She's
>a cute little kid.

Michelle: as it occurred to anyone else that Adam and Rini might be a bit too good of 
friends?

> We were leaving when Amy said," don't forget too use the sailor
>communicators to inform each other of your progress."  This was a good idea
>too keep track of what was going on.
> My group hoped the first bus up to the rich part of town.

All: I think I can!  I think I can!

>We made it to
>the Daitokuji mansion in about ten minutes.  It was a grand site.

Mike: It had lots of links, some nice GIFs, a good archive of text files (none of which I 
could download)...

>It had
>white marble columns holding up a huge green marble roof.  It looked more
>like a Roman coliseum than a mansion.

Mike: Trial by combat!
Tom: Throw him to the lions!
Crow: Or B-Ko's Overfiend Mecha!

>The garden around it was huge, with
>bushes shaped like all types of animals.  there were little mecha robots
>working all around the place.

Crow: (mecha) I'm fed up with this work!  Let's revolt!
Tom: (other mecha) I'm with you!  How does this motto sound; "Resistance is futile."

>Doing chores and building things.  Then I saw
>the satellite dish looking over there huge garash.

Michelle: (satellite) Hmmm... Nice craftsmanship, soothing color, lots of space.  I'll take 
it!

>It had to be about 50
>yards high, and almost as big around.  I felt like the Han Solo on the
>forest moon of Endor trying to take out the Death stars defense shield. 

Crow: But this chapter was entitled "A New Hope!"  Not, "Return of the Jedi"!

>Then I took a look at the gate in front of us.  it had a gold trim with a
>renaissance look to it, and security cameras on the top of it.  I looked all
>around the grounds of the mansion and noticed the great amount of security
>here.  "How are we going to get in to there?" I asked.

Tom: Practice, practice, practice!
Rest: (groan)

> We all looked at each other as if one of the others had the answer.  a big
>tear drop rolled down the back of my head.

Mike: Well, there's no need to cry!  You'll think of something!

> "OK, if we go over two blocks there's a restaurant there were I think we
>can find someone who can help us"  Raye said stepping of the bus and

Michelle: ...into rush hour traffic.
Tom: Ouch...

>on to
>the sidewalk.
> "Who do you know there Raye?"  Mina asked.
> "A guy named Ryu owns the place,

Tom: ...and he runs it along with Ken!

>he and my grandfather are old friends. 
>His master and my grandfather use to train together when they were younger. 
>He came around the temple once needing some help with training his daughter
>Nashicca.

Mike: What the...?  Is that the girl from Jack Frost?

>My grandfather trained her for two years.  So he owes us a
>favor.  Its a real nice place."
> "As long as they don't eat cats there" Artimace said in jest.

Michelle: Cat number forty-two: Artimace!
Tom: Excuse me, I have a bit of a problem with them just keeping it a secret that the cats 
can talk, then giving it away at the drop of a hat!

> "O dear, I hope not" Kasumi said clueless as ever.  Everyone gave her a
>look at then they started walking.

Mike: (Kasumi)  Oh, my God!  Did that cat just talk to me?! I must have gotten some of 
Akane's food into my system!

> The restaurant was nice, it was a little red Chinese restaurant called the
>Dragons den.

Crow: (booming voice)  You dare to invade the dwellings of the great and mighty Smaug?!

>It didn't hose the nicest people but it was not destroyed like
>some of the other buildings.  They walked in and found a cloud of smoke hit
>them like a wall.

Tom: So, it broke their noses and other various bones?

>It was dark inside for about one o'clock.  Raye walked up
>to the bar and asked the bartender to tell the owner that Raye (last name)
>was here to see him.

Crow: (owner) Who's Raye Last Name?
Mike: Hey, Adam! That's Hino!

>He walked upstairs and through a door. The rest of the
>group walked neverously toward a table.
> A loud crash came from up stairs.  The bartender came running down the
>steps, almost falling on his feet.

Michelle: That's what he gets for trying self-amputation on the job!

>He ran and hid behind the bar.  "WHO
>WAKES ME FROM MY NAP!  WHAT INSOLENT FOOL HAS THE NERVE TO DO >SUCH A
>THING!!"

All: (grab ears) OWW!!!
Tom: He must have gone through the C-Ko school of Fine Conversation!

>A voice yelled out from the behind the door.  The whole restaurant
>got quite.  The door came flying open and a huge man about 350 lbs. and 6
>and a half feet tall walks out.
> The cats jumped on Mina

Michelle: (Artemis) Hold me, Mina!

>and Kasumi got one of those nervous looks on her
>face.  The man started to walk down the stairs  and towards Raye.  "THEY
>HAVE BETTER BE A DIGNITARY OR A GREAT WARRIOR!"

All: (grab ears again) OUCH!!
Michelle: If they don't stop this sh**, then I'm gonna have to start bustin' some heads!

>He stops in front of Raye
>and gives her a mean look.  Raye was a little scared, but she would never
>show it.  He laughed and said,

Mike: (covers ears)

>"OR ONE OF MY GOOD FRIENDS GRANDDAUGHTER!" 

All except Mike: Dammit!
(Michelle grabs Tom and throws him at the screen.  Tom breaks his dome, but no damage 
is done to the screen)
Mike: Tom, are you okay?
Tom: Fine, except for the fact that I can't see now.
Mike: Tom, you never had eyes to see with in the first place.

>He gives her a big hug.  Raye was surprised by the tight squeeze she got. 
>the group sighed in relief.  "So what bring you too my restaurant Raye?" 
>the man Ryu said.

Tom: (Raye) I'm here from the FDA to shut you down.  Did you think that we wouldn't 
know about the rats in the booze?

> She was still in a daze be sputtered the word out some how.  "Well me and
>my friends are looking for some information on some strange stuff that's
>been happening around here.  I thought you might have heard something about
>it."
> "Mabey I have, lets talk in my office.  bartender", he arose from hiding
>under the bar.  "Bring some drinks for my guest and her friends."

Crow: (bartender) Well, their faces say 14, but their busts say 18.

>He nodded
>and quickly went to work.  The restaurant started talking again as he lead
>them into his office.

Mike: (patron) Who is that guy?  You'd think that he owned the place.

> It was a nice little place, nothing special though.  It had a big wooden
>desk with paper all over it.  A tall plant in the corner half dead.  The
>binds were half drawn so only so much light was let in.  It had a ceiling
>fan on low that circulated the moist air nicely.

Michelle: It was raining inside?

>There were all sorts of
>pictures framed all over the walls.  Ones of Ryu and his daughter and other
>people.  there was even one of Ryu and Rayes grand father when They were
>younger.  "So what's this strange stuff your talking about?"

Crow: (Raye) Well, there's about a kilo of it, and you get *fried* from one joint!

> "Well have you noticed any odd experiments being discussed or strange
>unnatural occurrences lately?"  raye said.
> " Well there is the guy who keeps coming in here talking about some plant
>he has under the high school that he needs some girls to help feed it.  And
>there is also this strange guy with gold armor attached to him looking for
>some guy named Terry Bogard.  No unnatural occurrences.  Just the normal
>scum and villainy."

Tom: Does anyone else see, "Anime Freak" written all over this story?

> This was a dead end.  I guessed that something like that would happen
>during today's escapades.  "OK, thank you for your help anyway.  Mabey our
>other friends have had better luck." Raye said.
> "Well I hope you find what your looking for, and tell your grandfather that
>he should stop by and we can talk about the old days.  And also thank him
>for training nashicca.   She's turned into one great girl."  Ryu said.
> " I will tell him.  It has been nice seeing you again."

Mike: (Ryu) Now, get out before I sic the bartender on you!

> " Your welcome back anytime.  Meals are on the house for you and your
>friends."

Michelle: (Ryu) ...as long as it costs under two yen.

> They walked out of his office at the same time as the bartender was
>bringing them drinks.  "WELL YOU MIGHT AS WELL DUMP THEM OUT NOW >THERE
>LEAVING.  I SHOULD ALSO FIRE YOU WILE I'M AT IT AND HIRE A TREE >SLOTH, THERE
>FASTER!"

All: (grab ears, Mike stops Michelle from throwing anything else)

>Ryu yelled.
> They walked out into the street and up to the bus stop were they would
>catch the next bus back to Nerima.
>
> "Buzz...Buzz"

Crow: Killer Bees, at your service!

>Reni rang the entrance button on the gate.  "This is not
>going to work."  Nabiki said wile we were hiding in the bushes besides the
>gate.
 >"Of course it will."  I said.  "All we do is after they let Reni through
>the gate follow her.

Tom: (Adam) ...and we're absolutely sure that they'll let her in!

>After we get on the grounds you guys keep the guards
>distracted wile Ranma and I check out the dish."

Tom: (Adam) We set the bombs, then get out!

> "I still don't think this is going to work."
> "Buzz...Buzz"
> "Can I help you little girl" A voice said over the intercom.
> "Yes please sir."  She said in her cute voice.  " I was wondering if Mr.
>Daitokuji would by some of my cookies to help out my campfire girls raise
>money for us to go see Tokyo on a field trip."

Michelle: Don't the Senshi live in Tokyo?
Mike: Don't try to pick up on every little thing.  You'll hurt yourself.

> There was a short pause.  "Sure thing little girl.  Hold on so I can open
>the gate."

Crow: (guard) I trust you completely because there's no way you would let anyone in with 
you.

> "Thank you"
> The gate opened and Reni walked through, heading towards the mansion.  When
>the gate started to close we all quickly sneaked in following Reni up the
>front path way.  We acted like we belonged there.

Tom: How exactly do you act like you belong somewhere while sneaking around?
Mike: Well, at B-ko's house, you cackle maniacally, while plotting how to kill A-ko.

>When we got to the font
>door Reni held up the box of cookies we bought her for the store down the
>street so that this plan would work.  They opened the door and let us in. 
>We all said we were with her.  There was no problem getting by them.  We
>walked into the main hall.  It was big, with a huge glass chandelier hanging
>over our heads.  There were marble stairs coming from all the walls. 

Mike: When did they end up in the Titanic?
Michelle: It doesn't matter!  It hasn't gone down yet!  That means that they're most 
probably going to die!

>Gigantic tapestries hanging of the families lineage.  They had to be worth a
>fortune.
> Just then Mr. Daitokjui came in a really expensive suite.

Crow: (groaning)Ugh... A-ko:TCY flashbacks.

>He walked up to
>Reni with a smile and said," Hello little girl.  What's your name?"
> "My names Reni sir.  Would you like to buy some of my cookies?"
> "Well of course I would."

Michelle: (Daitokuji) Unless you have brought spies who want my satelllite dish along with 
you!
Tom: (Rini) D'oh!
Michelle: (Daitokuji) What was that?
Tom: (Rini) I mean D'oh...n't worry.  I don't know any spies (except for the guys who are 
hiding outside)
Michelle: (Daitokuji) What was that?
Tom: (Rini) I said, "Expect for the cookies to satisfy!"

> They continued talking and I checked out the place some more.  I noticed
>there was a hall way to the right that lead out into the back yard by the
>dish.

Tom: Sure, you buy a satellite dish, but then got to buy more food to fill it up!

>I whispered to Ranma," that's the way we need to go."
> He nodded in compliance.  I leaned over to Nabiki and Lita and whispered,"
>OK, you guys distract him and well check out the dish."
> the nodded as well.  Mr. Daitokuji wasn't looking so Ranma and I hid behind
>a large tapestry hanging on the wall.  "...this is just a sample box, try
>one."

Mike: (Rini) They're called Jagged Metal sugar cookies!

> Mr. Daitokuji ate one of the cookies. "Mmmm.  there good."

All: (look around) Where?

> "Mr. Daitokuji shouldn't we go somewhere were we can sit and eat some
>cookies?"  Nabiki said.
> "Why yes of course.  Who might you be?"
> "I'm her older sister Nabiki.  This is our cousin Lita."

Michelle: Real original excuse, huh?

> "What a wonderful group of girls we have here.  Come, we can get to my
>patio through here.  That's funny I thought there were two more behind you."

Crow: What?  Mr. Daitokuji expressing intelligence?  OOC!

> "Nope this is all of us."  Lita said.
> "Oh well.  You girls are good enough for this old man."  Mr. Daitokuji said
>with a laugh.
> "Pervert." Nabiki said under her breath.

Tom: Hey!  That's Akane's line!
Mike: Mr.  Daitokuji *is* Don Corneo.
 
> When they left Ranma and I snuck down the hall to the entrance to the
>back.  "This doesn't look to good."  Ranma said.
> There were human and robot guards everywhere.  "Don't worry, I'll think of
>something." I said.
> "Like what?"
> "I don't know.  Give me a minute."

Crow: (Adam) okay, here's the plan.  Ranma, you join the juggling troupe under the name 
of Jose.  I'll become a steel mill worker in Pasaic, New Jersey.  We'll meet back here in 
five years.

> A minute past. "Ok, what's the idea."
> "hold on."  I said impatiently.
> Then I saw a gardener driving a little Dihatsu truck caring some stuff
>under a tarp.  "I got an idea."

Tom: Cliche plot device landing on runway 5.

> We waited till the gardener to come around to the front of the door.  Ranma
>grabbed him and dragged him into the bush beside the door.  I grabbed the
>truck and stopped it.  Ranma  came out warring the gardeners jump suite. 

Mike: The newest in the line of theme hotels.
Tom: The device has landed, I repeat, the device has landed.  Please remain in your seats 
with your seatbelts securely fastened until the fic comes to a complete stop.
Crow: Aww, man!

>"Your quick."  I said.
> "Quick get in the back before someone sees you."  He said.
> I crawled under the tarp in the back.  It had some small banzi plants and
>some tools.  There was a hole in it on the left side of the top.

Michelle: A plot hole?

>I could
>see through there.  Ranma started driving away from the mansion and towards
>the garash and the dish.  The plan was working perfectly.

Crow: Except for the fact hat Ranma doesn't know how to drive.
All: *crash*

>We were driving
>right by the guards and they weren't doing anything about it.  We pulled the
>truck up to the back of the dish.  I got out and Ranma took off the jump
>suite.  "OK we made it.  Now what?"

Tom: (Adam) Now you do all the work and I take all the credit.

> I looked at him with a little shock and said," What do mean now what?"
> "I thought you knew about satellites?"
> "I don't know dick about dishes.

Mike: ...which is why he doesn't live in China!  Thank you!

>Now what are we going to do.  We don't
>have that much time."
> "I don't know."
> I got a little frustrated.  Calmed myself and started to think and talk to
>myself.

Michelle: It's the most interesting conversation in the fic!

>"Come on think.  You don't have much time.  use common sense."  I
>looked down at the huge cable going into the garash.  "Lets find out were
>that cable is going.

Crow: Can't you read?  It's going into the garage!

>That might tell us something."
> "Well it couldn't hurt to find out.  We snuck in the back door.  There were
>some nice cars in it.

Mike: Well, Tom seems to be ensconsed in a nice little flashback.

>Lotus, Lamborgini, and a couple of porshas, but no
>people.

Mike: They're ditching him in advance!

>I looked down the behind all the cars and saw steps leading down to
>somewhere.  We headed down to them.  There was poor lighting, mostly white
>neon.  When we got down to the bottom we discovered a lab.  There were
>computers all over the place.

Michelle: ...and what a shame!  They were all IBM!

>Cable coming from the dish leading into them
>in some way.  "Wow.  We might be on to something here." Ranma said.
> "lets check out what the screens have on them." I said.

Crow: Screen savers saying, "Bill Gates, eat your heart out!"

> I walked over and looked at the monitor.  It showed the angle and
>trajectory of the dish.  The computer next to it was showing some type of
>global network between satellites.  The one to my right had multiple screens
>running huge amounts of coads and numbers.

Tom: Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to write a crappy fanfic.

>"I think we've found our
>dimensional gateway."  Ranma said.
> "Lets not make a desition like that yet." I said.  "We have to anylyse this
>data first to see if..."

Mike: Thank you, Mister I-Don't-Know-Dick-About-Dishes!

> "FREEZE!" A voice said from behind us.

Tom: Libby Lan's back, and she's pissed!

> We froze.  "Now turn around, slowly"
> This was just great.  Some huge security guard with a sawed-off and an
>itchy trigger fingers got us at point blank.

Michelle: All right, they're dead!

>Talk about a bad turn of
>events.  I turned around and saw I was very wrong.  A girl with blue hair
>warring a short brown dress was pointing a small pistol at us.

Crow: Thank you, Amy!  I knew that he didn't have all of the senshi on his side!

>I then
>realized who she was.  She was B-Ko Daitokuji, the rich little bitch from
>all the Project A-Ko videos.  I felt a little better.

Tom: You felt better about a gun-toting B-ko holding you hostage?
Mike: Some people have the weirdest tastes.

> "Who are you?  What are you doing in my lab?"  She said.
> "Who us?" Ranma stuttered. "Well we are...uh.  Well were the, the... part
>of the..."

Michelle: (Ranma) Uuuh...No?

> "what are you doing with this dish?" I asked

Crow: (B-Ko) It's the only way that I can get the hentai channel!

> I felt a little brave asking that since I know B-Kos short temper when she
>doesn't get her way.   "That is none of your business.  Now who are you?"
>"Are you sending out interdimetional waves with it?"

Tom: Everybody's gone interdimensionally sufin'...

> "I told you that dish is none of your business."  She said getting more
>angry, and a little frightened.
> "Are all these computers moitering different frequencies of..."
> "There for TV OK!"
> "What?" Ranma and I said.

All: SHE SAID, "IT'S FOR TV, OK!"

> "My beloved C-Ko loves to watch TV, this dish gives me all the TV channels
>in the world!  With it C-Ko will be mine and A-Ko will be out of the
>picture!

Mike: Get it?  TV!  Picture!  It's funny!
All: (deadpan) ha, ha, ha...

>She should be her soon.  Now who are you?!"
> "So all this is for..."
> "WHO ARE YOU!" She screamed and pointed the gun directly at my face.
> "My is Adam Sheehan."  I said as quickly as I could.
> She backed off. Still pointing the gun more towards me than Ranma.

All: (chanting) Do it!  Do it!

> "What are you doing here?"
> "I was wondering what you were doing with this satellite dish."
> "Why?"
> "That's...a long story"

Michelle: One which, unfortunately, we've had to read.

> She gave me a 'what the hell are you talking about' look.

Crow: Yeah, that's our reaction to the whole story.

>"Where are you
>from." "That's an even longer story."
> "and you" talking to Ranma.  "Who are you."
> I am Ranma Saotomi

Tom: What's that last name?
Michelle: Genma must have remarried.

>of the Saotomi school of any-thing-goes marital arts."
> "Well Who ever you are, your trespassing on private property.  Wait till I
>tell my daddy about this.  You'll be in big trouble."
> Well I realized that this is one bad situation about to get worse.  All
>this and not getting any closer to getting home.  I thought for a second

Michelle: now I know I smell smoke.

>and
>then said to myself," You can try to rationalize with her.  Just BS her so
>she will let you go with out getting in trouble.  Act nicely and polite and
>we could get out of this with out jail time.
> I looked at B-Ko with a smile and said in a crisp calm voice,

Crow: He's turned into celery?
Tom: The best produce comes from Walter.
Mike: Shameless product promotion number something or another.

>" B-Ko, We are
>sorry that we broke into your lab.  We were just courios.  It will never
>happen again."
> She looked at me with an odd expression.  "How do you know my name."

Mike: Don't you remember?  We were betrothed at birth!

> She pointed the gun straight at me now.  Ranma stepped up quick and kicked
>it out of her hands.  The gun went flying.  I went to grab her and she
>kicked me across the tables onto the computers.

Michelle: (singing) Everybody was kung-fu fighting!

>I forgot that she still
>could fight with out her power suite on.  The fall didn't hurt.  One of the
>many cool things about being in an anime.

Crow: Besides the fact that you can bend the universe to your will.

>This also gave Ranma enough time
>to tackle her to the ground and rap her up

Tom: Yeah, down with LL Cool R!

>to one of the small pillars with
>some cable.
> "Untie me!  When my dad finds out about this you will live to regret you
>ever did this!"  She said wile trying to wiggle out of the cable.
> Ranma finished tying her and we ran up the stairs.  We could still hear
>B-Ko screaming.  "well that didn't go quite as planned." I said.

Mike: They actually had a plan?

> "We better get the girls and get out of here quick." Ranma said.
> "Yea, lets take the truck back to the mansion the same why we got here."
> We left the garash and started heading for the truck.  "Do you think that
>garner has come to yet?" I asked Ranma.

Michelle: Cue pointless plot twist!

> "There they are!  They two guys who took my truck!"  A voice said.
> It was the gardener standing in his boxers with leaves in his hair.  "I
>think he has Ranma."

Crow: Well, then go get Ranma back!

> We sprang for the truck,

All: BOOIING!!!

>got it started, then the bullets came flying.  If
>this wasn't anime we would have been dead with almost every single guard
>firing at us from all over the grounds and from the mansion.

Tom: We've secretly replaced Adam's anime world with Folger's Crystals.  Let's see if he 
notices a difference.

> "What is all that noise?" Mr. Daitokuji said.
> "Its just heavy construction outside of the mansion I bet."  Lita said very
>nervously.
> "You were telling us about the time you went elephant hunt in Africa." 
>Nabiki quickly said so that he wouldn't think more about the commotion
>outside.

Mike: Oh, so one type of shooting will make him forget another.

>Which she had a gut feeling it was Ranma and I.
> "Oh yes.  Well it was back in my younger days.  It was just me and my
>trusty riffle out on safari.  Thats when..."

Crow: The mechas started going crazy and began to destroy everything that moved even in 
the slightest.

> "Who taught you how to drive this thing?"  I said Ranma as almost crashed
>us into security trucks.

Michelle: Well, obviously, if he was able to do such a good job earlier.

> "You need lessons to drive this thing?"
> I looked at him as my stomach tryed to crawl out of my body.

Tom: No, that's just the alien chest-buster.
Mike: How much less would you expect with this many crossovers?
Michelle: Next thing you know, they'll be working us into it.

>We were doing
>about 30 mph down this uneven grass track.  Swerving left and right. 
>Bullets hitting it all the time.  I saw a hedge maze up ahead.
> "head towards the maze we'll try to lose them.  There trucks are to big to
>get through." I said.

Tom: (Adam) Thank God for Ford!

> Ranma made a sharp left and one of the tires blew.  He headed into maze.  I
>was right, there trucks were to big.  Ours just barley fit.  We keeped
>getting hit buy leaves the whole way.  We could hardly see.  I could make
>out a clearing at the end.

Mike: Head into the light...

> "Head for the big opening."  I said to Ranma.
> He jerked the truck through.  Just in time to see twenty security guards
>armed with rocket launchers.

Michelle: Rather high security for a DSS satellite.
Crow: B-ko takes her afternoon soap operas seriously.

> "FIRE!"
> "SHIT!"

All: (grab ears) OW!
Michelle: For Pete's sake, he even swears loudly!

>We said and jumped as far as we could from the truck.
> All the rockets hit the little truck at once.  It turned into a fireball in
>no time.

Tom: (Richard Simmons) Do you feel the burn yet?

>Before I had time to think I was getting shot at again.  I got up
>and started running instinctually.  Ranma caught up as we started going back
>through the maze away from the security guards shooting at us.  Then we
>heard a voice coming towards us through the bushes.

Mike: RESISTANCE IS FUTILE.  YOU WILL BE ASSIMILATED.  WE... ARE B-KO.

>"A taki yama missiles!"
>
> Boom!  The bushes in front of us were blown apart.  Actually the ten rows
>of bushes were all gone, and B-Ko was standing there in her power suite on. 

Michelle: Now, we have B-ko in herlovely hotel room ensemble...

>"I guess she got out."

Crow: Well, DUH!!

>I said to Ranma nearly out of breath.  We turned to
>Run the opposite way when we were surrounded by armed guards.  There had to
>be at least 200 guns pointed at us.

Tom: Well, now they know what the Blues Brothers felt like!

>Now I know how it felt to be the Blues
>Brothers,

Tom: D'oh!

>and I thought we were heading to the same place.  Prison.

Mike: Call me crazy, but I think they're more bent on killing you.

>We
>needed a miracle.

Michelle: Cue Deus Ex Machina!

> "Hey B-Ko."  A voice said. B-Ko turned and looked behind her.  She say C-Ko
>being pulled by A-Ko at warp 9 towards her.  "I've come to see your new TV."

Tom: How do you do that?
Michelle: Trade secret.

> "Duck." I said to Ranma.
> "Wha?"

Crow: No, not "wha?"  It's "Quack!"

> "Get down, now."
> "Why?" "Just trust me on this one."
> We both dropped to the ground and covered our heads.  A-Ko came ripping
>through the Maze.

Tom: Well, that is one way to solve the labyrinth!

>Almost knocking over B-Ko, going through the bushes, just
>over us, and through the security guards.  She Stoped just short of the
>fiery wreck of our truck.
> "Oh C-Ko you came to see me." B-Ko said with joy.  "Thank you A-Ko for
>bring over C-Ko."

Mike: OOC!

>B-Ko said with a lot less joy.
> "hey I just want to see this TV of yours.  And try to get something to eat
>too.  What happened here?"  A-Ko said looking over the carnage her and us
>created.

Michelle: (B-Ko) Oh, not much.  Just World War III.

> "These two trespassers almost destroyed my dish."  B-Ko said pointing at
>us.
> "Hey we didn't destroy nothing."  Ranma said.
> "We were just curious about the dish, that's all." I said.
> "Well you still are trespassers."  B-Ko said as she raised her arm with the
>missiles in them.

Crow: Whatis this?  Area 51?

> A tear raised down my back.

Tom: Well, there's no need to cry!  It's just a crazed woman about to blow your brains out 
with some missiles!  It's not like you see us crying!

> "Hey, what's going on here?"  Mr. Daitokuji said running from the mansion. 
>The girls were right behind him.  "What have you done to my beautiful
>landscape?!"

Michelle: (B-ko) I go it ready for the next Bob Villa documentary!

> "I caught these two trespassing around the dish father."  B-Ko said with
>that snobby brown nose attitude.
> "I cowt des two twesspassin wound the dish-hea!" Ranma said in mockery."

Mike: No, that's not mockery.  That's just plain stupidity.

> "Hey, these are the two men I thought I saw you girls with.  Your not
>really selling cookies are you?"  Mr. Daitokuji said in anger.

Crow: (Lita) Yes, we are!  Those are our new line of life-sized cookies!
Michelle: Well, they do have crumbs for brains.

> All the girls looked away.  Except for Nabiki who said, "your the bright
>one, now aren't you."
> Ranma got up cover in grass and said," Can we explain.  Do we get a chance
>to explain our side of the story?"
> I just laid there thinking about the damage we caused and that my ankle
>twisted again.  It would be better in a couple of minutes, forgotten.  "Can
>I give you a hand up?" A sweat voice said.

Michelle: He sure is getting knocked over a lot.
Crow: Man, A-ko!  Two words: Anti-Persperant!

> I looked up and saw A-Ko standing over me with a big smile.  She was
>warring a yellow shirt tied, with a bikini top underneath, and a pair of
>jean shorts.  The light hit here red hair to entrance me for a second.

Crow: Run for your lives!  He's turning into Myles!

>"ah,
>yea if you wouldn't mind."  I replied.
> She pulled me up quick.

Tom: ...and tore his arm off in the process.

>I forgot how powerful she was.  I wiped off the
>grass on the front of me and said thanks.
> "No problem.  B-Ko can be very touchy at times."
> "tell me about it."
> "Excuse me, I didn't introduce myself.  My name is A-Ko, nice to meet you."
>
> "My names Adam Sheehan, and its nice to meet you too."
> We walked over to were the group was.  C-Ko was talking to B-Ko

Crow: (B-ko) How do you feel about oral sex?
Tom: (C-ko) As long as it's with A-ko!
Mike: Please, guys, no A-ko: TCY references.

>and Reni
>was watching them.  The guards were starting to get up from there
>collision.  The girls were listening to Ranma telling them what happened,

Michelle: That knob over there reminded me that I don't know how to drive!

>and Mr. Daitokuji was having an aneurysm about the damage.  "You boys better
>have a good explanation for all this destruction."  He said.

Crow: Well, duh!  it's an A-ko fic!

> "OK, We will explain ourselves.  Can we go inside though.  Its long
>story."  I said.
> We started walking towards the house.  The girls, the Ko's,

Tom: My God!  The Ko's aren't girls?!?!?
Michelle: I always knew it...

>Mr. Daitokuji,
>Ranma and I, and about 50 security guards making sure that nothing else
>happens today.
>
> "Downtown.  Last stop Downtown."  the bus driver said.
> They all got off the bus and onto the busy street.  "This is so exciting."

Mike: Note the sarcastic tone.

>Serrina said.  "Its like were on a real life adventure.  International spy's
>searching for evil doers."
> "Well it is kind of fun.

Crow: ...and I am, therefore, thoroughly against it!

>It does take time away from my studies though." 
>Amy said.
> The sun beat down on the hot concert.  People were all over the place. 
>Working, eating, shopping, and just having fun.  "Okay Amy were are the
>disturbances coming from now?"  Darien asked.

Tom: (Amy) inside Serena's head, as always.

> Amy took out one of her little computers and started pushing buttons. 
>"There's a stronger reading coming 4 blocks down and underground about 30
>feet."

Michelle: Does anyone else here see a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles crossover coming?

> "Must be coming from the a basement of a building somewhere."  Akane added.
>
> They started walking down the street towards the buildings location. 
>"Darien," Akane asked.  "What are we surpose to do when we find what were
>looking for?"
> "Well we are just going to scout it out first.

Mike: Get it? Scout!  Sailor Scout!  It's funny!
Tom: Is it?  I hadn't noticed.
Crow: He really DiC'ed that one up.

>We won't do anything until
>we get everyone together.  Then we will decide what to do."
> When they got to the block were the readings were coming from they saw an
>old worn down building.  It looked like it had not been used for 20 years. 
>This was odd for every other building downtown was practically new.  It was
>a big red brick building, the window were broken and most of the doors were
>gone.  "This is were the readings are coming from?"  Serrina asked.

Michelle: (Amy) Does it look like this is where the readings are coming from?  No, I don't 
think so!!

> Amy checked her computer again.  "yes it is.  Lets check out the basement
>and see what is down there."

Tom: (Amy) Have you ever read the story, "Two Friends"?

> They walk through the opening in the rusted fence around it.  You could
>barely read the no trespassing sign.  The closer they got the creepier the
>place seemed.  It was all decrepped with vines hanging everywhere.

Mike: They've crossed over into Batman and Robin!  Go, Ivy!

>They
>entered in the back, through what once might have been a delivery door.  The
>inside was just as bad, rotting wood frames and boards, rats, and other
>vermin.  There was something odd about it though.  "Does this place seem
>strange to you guys?"  Darien said.

Crow: (Random charcter) Besides the melting wall and the zombies wandering around, no.

> Serrina looked at him odd.  "I mean look, this place is an abandoned old
>building.  But look at the ceiling." There were about 10 shinny new iron
>beams holding up the roof.   "Those don't look old to me.

Michelle: Of course, neither does the Eiffel Tower, but that's a different story.

> "And over there" Amy said pointing to the wall across from them.  "look at
>that huge power converter."  On the wall was this big metal box with lights
>and buttons on it.  It was making a humming sound.

All: (ala Crash Test Dummies) Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm... Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm.

> "This is getting real weird.  I think we should get the others before we go
>any farther." Akane said.
> Just then Amy's computer started beeping like crazy, a heavy noise came
>from below, and they felt the ground move a little.

Tom: (Amy) Anyone else here seen the movie, Tremors?

>"There is a lot of
>activity happening below us." Amy said as she started walking towards a
>large piece of metal lieing on the floor.  "Can you guys help me move this."
>
> They all grabbed the end of it and pulled the  sheet a couple of yards. 

Mike: ...For the first down!!!
All: (cheering noises)

>Underneath the it was a stair case with a light and that sound coming from
>it.  "I'm getting high readings from down here."

Crow: You mean there's a hippie poetry group down there?
Mike: (stoner) I always have a bong or two...

> "Amy shouldn't we call for back up before we go down there?" Serrina said
>nervously.
> "I just want to be sure of what it is first.  It will only take a minute."

Michelle: Can we all say, "OOC"?

> Amy started walking down the stairs, the group followed her down slowly. 
>It was about 2 flights a stairs arching down the concert walls that was the
>floor.

Mike: If a flight of stairs leaves Boston traveling at 100 mph and another flight of stairs 
leaves San Fransisco traveling at 75 mph, will it make a bad fic?

>At the bottom of the stairs the saw a bright light coming from the
>center of the room.  There was someone standing in front of it by a computer
>controlling this light.  It was to bright to make out what they looked
>like.  There were four cylinders that were shooting beams of light toward
>the center that seemed to be forming the ball of light in the center.

Crow: The birth of Tinkerbell!

> Amy and the others moved off the stairs and behind some crates next to them
>so that they wouldn't be detected.  It felt like there was more power and
>force going into the light.  The beams were shooting faster and wider.  
>Then all of a sudden the ball of light opened up a purple and blue spinning
>portal.

Mike: Okay, guys, I call no "Sliders" riffs...
Tom: You take all the fun out of it!

>There was a wind coming from around the portal.  There was a few
>flashes and then something started to move inside it.  A bright light came
>from the center of the portal, and something started coming through it.  A
>man about 6 and a half feet tall walk through.  He had a medium build and
>was muscular.

Michelle: Since when was Tom Cruise invited?

> The portal started to shrink and go back the ball of light.  The cylinders
>shut down and all the light from the room died.

mike: The final days of the Manhattan Project...

>A group of neon bulbs
>flickered on suddenly.  One of them had to have just turned them on. 
>Luckily the light didn't reach were they were hiding.  It took a little wile
>to adjust to the light.  Now they got a better look at the two men.

Tom: (Costello) Who's on first?
Crow: (Abbot) Yes.
Tom: (Costello) Yes is on first?
Crow: (Abbot) No, who's on first.
Tom: (Costello) That's what I want to know!

>The man
>who walked out of the portal had blonde hair and an evil crooked smile on
>his face.  He was had small light pieces of gold armor and white robes.

Michelle: Cecil from Final Fantasy 2 makes his debut in Sailor Moon!

>They covered his upper and lower abdomen, shoulders and legs.  He was
>holding a bag and had on white shoes with gold trim on them as well.
> "Has the data on the missing elements been decoded yet?"  The man said.
> "Not yet master.  Mistress Tamasuza is working on it now." The man behind
>the computer humbly replied.  The second man was a little under 7 feet. 
>large build, overly muscular, huge arms and legs the size of trucks.

mike: Mari, no!

>He had
>black hair shaven on the sides and rapped in to a tail on top.  He had on a
>green jacket  with matching pants.  He was also wearing armor, heavier than
>the other man though.  It was stained black with dents in some of them. 
>Covering his chest, shoulders, hands, and legs.  There was a sling across
>his chest that held a huge ax type weapon on his back.

Tom: Oh, I know who it is!  It's Perrin Aybara!

>He looked like a
>monster except that he was warring a pair of glasses.  This was the only
>thing that kept him from looking like a the hulk.
> "Good.  With in 48 hours we should be in control of this small city.

Crow: Yeah, you and all the other two-bit super-villains in this town!

>A day
>later Japan.  After that the world."
> Darien leaned over to Amy and whispered," I think its time to contact the
>others."
> Amy started to use her computer to call the others.  "How are we going to
>get out of this?"  Serrina asked.

Michelle: (Darien) Well, duh, Miss Human Decoy!

> Darien turned to her and said," Just hold on.  We are calling the others
>now.  We'll make a desition when they arrive."
> "OK."  Serrina said.  She leaned back against one of the crates.  She hit
>it hard enough for one of the assorted tool on top of it to fall.  "Ding,
>ding, ding" it sounded as the metal tool bounced off the floor.  The whole
>group froze and held its breath.

Mike: Hey, guys!  Maybe if we don't read any further for a couple of minutes, Tux boy 
will die!
(All stop reading.  After five minutes, look ahead a couple of pages.)
Mike: Darn!  Nice try, though.

> The two men looked over at the tool on the floor.  The first man reached
>into his bag and pulled out a small gun.  the other man took his ax from
>around his shoulders.  "Well, well it looks like we have rats in the barn." 

Tom: No, Adam's at the mansion with the Kos!

>The first man said as they walked towards the crates.  "Do you know what you
>do with rats Goth?"
> "Yes I do master Jindi."  The other man said, "YOU WIPE THEM OUT!"

Crow: No, actually, you exterminate them.  Big difference.

>He
>swung his ax furiously through the crates before them.  They shatter into a
>million pieces.  The whole group jumped or got knocked back against the
>wall.

Michelle: Brain damage!
Tom: What brain?
Mike: Okay, that's enough of those jokes.

>Serrina grabbed on to Darrien and barried her face in his chest, so
>not be hit by the flying wood.  Akane fell back onto Amy.  She knocked the
>computer out of her hand.  It went flying under a piece of equipment next
>the former crates.

Crow: As opposed to the previous crates!

> "what a nice group of spies we have here."  The first man said.
> Akane looked up and said," We're not spies were..."

Michelle: (Akane) ...being forced to do this against our will!

> "Hush your mouth little lady.  Your trespassing were you should not be. 
>And for this you must pay the price."
> "It was an accident.  We got lost."  Serrina said.
> "Why do I have a hard time believing that.

Mike: So that there will be something slightly resembling a plot in this fic?

>Don't you worry your pretty
>head of about what happened.  You will have plenty of time to think about
>it."  The first man pulled back on the hammer of the gun and pointed it at
>serrina.  "The party has just begun."

Tom: (Man) It's in my mouth, and everyone's invited!
Crow: Shamless product plug number... I'VE LOST COUNT!!!

>                         Chapter 4: Dimesional Evil

Mike: Come on, guys, let's get out of here.
(All get up to leave)
