=0==0==0==0==0= =0==0==0==0==0==0==0==0==0==0= Program Start. . . <> <> <> <> Greetings. Some Extra Pre-Errata before you continue. I write in a very script like fashion... I see the actions in my head... and so don't describe them too well -if at all. I'm hoping in ICH6 and beyond to rectify this as much as possible. Of course just like my attempts to not write in first person and to write in past tense... it might not pan out. Just like ICH6 may end up a novel in length by the time I'm done with it. I'm trying. Some will agree and say I'm trying their patience. Especially by taking forever to get to the point... so I'll shut up. Submitted for your Approval... Ami Tales 0-7 and In the Company of Hope 1-6a Plus the Second Omake to ICH Tagged in just before ICH6. Oh and anything else written too ^.~ <> Before you read on know a few things... Ami Kintaro is a work of fiction, the house is a work of fiction, The being Ego is a work of fiction representing a physical manifestation of my ego. Why do I say mine? Well the best stories put you in the hero's shoes... or his band of hero's... here... I just decided to throw myself in. It could have been Thungol the Piercing or something equally horrid... but I decided not to. And know this... this is a little self directed therapy piece. I created the character for a different purpose. Decided hair eyes... proportions, face -in my mind's eye- and then I named her, Ami Kintaro. I did not know what I'd done till that moment... in my mind she lives laughs and breathes... Not once did I think of how she must have been clothed. Some would say she is just fiction. A chemical reaction to a thought process. Nothing more. But from that moment... I'd loved her. I've spent years polishing and refining people for me to be attracted to if for no other reason than a mere story. And here for but a paragraph... I was enraptured. Of course I forgot to cloth her... and she is a Hentai Anime Girl. Hentai being Japanese for strange or bizarre, and Hentai or Ecchi (Eichi - Japanese name for the letter H slightly misspelled by the fans into Ecchi) Anime is most typified by Sex. Unfortunately a good deal is Anime with tentacle sex... or bondage... EXTREME bondage ... enemas... you name it. Ami K comes from this stuff. Sure if she was in one of these stories she wouldn't hesitate to act the Anime Girl part. But she will never I hope ever brave a tentacle from some alien being in my works, be so tied up the pain is pleasurable... or have an explosive enema. She will and does masturbate unabashedly... but that is about the full extent. Now earlier I said this was Therapy... and it is. I realized when I continued posting that I did not wish to be rid of her. I did not yet know of how I felt. And I realized I was a likely horniness target... since I breathed and had a cock. Not to mention a tongue. But I realized immediately... that I would dismiss her... that anyone so wanton looking at me with lust must be truly mad. And that someone so wanton would be almost repulsive to me. That I could not love someone designed to love me. Maybe especially so. So every time she "made" an advance on me... I left the post, steered clear, or outright ignored her. She had feelings that I'd given her, and here I was dashing them on the rocks without the slightest care. I was a bastard. A heartless fuckwit of the worst kind. How could I love anyone... if I couldn't even spend a THOUGHT on someone fictional. I realized I'd found a new flaw in my character. Another reason to doubt why I was on this earth. Someone could die... from a massive gunshot wound... and only if I was in the right mood would I care. That's one. I inherited it. Now for animals it is pretty much the opposite. Can't stand to see one hurt, but on a bad day... Then there is a nice big one... babies and children. I have no tolerance. If there is noise... crying for something... and I have tried everything... and still no answer can be found... my patience becomes like a mist... an evaporating mist. I will do anything to stop the quiet... my first reaction ON average... is to yell at them to be quiet. Second are threats of violence. Guess the third. This is one of the many reasons why I should never be a parent. Then there is the new one... I can't quite pin it down... but it seems I have such a self hatred that for anyone to love me must be truly mad. I can't fathom the interest, or the feeling. I can love them, and make love to them all day long... but one "I love you" and I don't know. So much self hate... so much doubt. So little capacity for love. It is daunting... I started a book... I believe now that my stumbling block is my attraction for some of the cast in it... even with feature changes and weight loss I still can't see why someone could like me... the exterior is a shell. It is what is inside that counts... and... I am by my own admission a monster. How can they love a monster? I started a cheesy and perverted Anime Story... I never finished it. Why? Because of feelings among the female cast... I couldn't resolve them even for a male character who wasn't me. Now I'm going to try to change at least one of these flaws around... sure I may only be masking it and it is still there... this is only one case... it is not a blanket fix. It may be that I'll be able to write about banging Ami Kintaro everyday... lust after her in my dreams. Only to not see a person who is truly attracted to me... slip by... forever... I do not know if this will work... or how long it will last... I pledge NOW to not link to chapters that do not exist. That would be unfair should I one day be unable to complete my work. -<[Pledge... failed pretty much. - 10/30/2001]>- And do not worry I do not foresee it as a long series... and maybe that is another problem... but for now... there will be at least one more after Ami Tales One. My prologue is now truly done... enjoy. If you have any questions do not hesitate to ask. If you have flames. Send them. Joyous adoration of the work. Send them. http://GreyPages.Org/emailme.html Thank you. =0==0==0==0==0==0==0==0==0==0= "Cast" Addendums Everyone ^-^ =0==0==0==0==0= -+--+--+--+- Section 1: Ami Tales -+--+--+--+- -+--+--+--+- "Hi all! *she smiles closing her eyes at the same time* Ami Kintaro here... you know that recent creation of Jason's..." started Ami in introduction to be interrupted with, "Eldrick's..." by a person in another room. She continues," Ah... thanks Eldrick..." in softer words... meant to not be carried to be next room," love you..." she sighs and continues just as softly... but with a big grin," well anyway... in the following pages you readers will get a treat... as will I *wink* in the form of hot wonderful sex," she finishes... smoothing the towel to her 34D-24-34 figure... red black hair framing a face written over with lust and need. She bites her lip lightly... and sighs longingly. A large shadow appears... seemingly behind you... though when you look you still don't see who is there. "Stop looking for me... only my shadow exists... anyway I'm Eldrick's Ego, and I do now state that I will have no part in this. Adios all." The shadow vanishes. Ami smiles. "Wonderful," she adds, "No interruptions by Ego!" Ami winks. =0==0==0==0==0==0==0==0==0==0= Our story truly begins. . . Chapter One She turns and walks away... still wearing her towel... walking sexily... seemingly without knowing she is... hair swishing back and forth. "The shower ready?" she asked a very tan man... with long brown hair for a guy... looks a bit large in the waist category (BWH"L" are 46-[48-52]-42-"to be revealed later... not")... and as he looks over at Ami you see dark brown eyes... and a mustache and beard... the beard has no presence on the front of the face... odd. "Yes.. I'm done. Shower's all yours... adjust the water temp as needed. I'll be at the computer," he waves... trying to not look at her as he leaves. "Yay!" she says as she sheds the towel, before he's even left the room... which prompts him to glance over at the sudden movement... and then blushing he looks away quickly... and hurries out of the room. She noticed the look, and smiled... but when he turned and left she sighed sadly and turned to the sink to get a comb. She finds the one she wants and turns the hot water up a little higher which fills the room with steam. Ami then sets the opacity dial on the shower stall to clear while watching the door grinning and hoping the door was left cracked on sordid purpose. She then hops into the shower, but not before grabbing the wide handled brush by the sink with a smile of pure mischief dancing on her lips. "Oh.... ahhhhhh! Such wonderfully hot water... oh yeahhh." she arches her back into the spray. She then begins to earnestly wash her hair... rubbing the extra lather all over herself rather than use soap. After a minute, she opens one eye and makes a quick glance towards the door... able to see it because the temp without and the temp within are the same. Still cracked... no shadows beyond... she pauses sadly and says quietly knowing the spray muffles every word, "He better show up to watch... or... I'll just have to attack him." Her face reddens slightly... obviously thinking ahead. Her hand finds itself holding the brush... she looks at it as she rinses the last of the shampoo out of her hair... and off of herself. Her breathing quickens as she draws the handle along her stomach sliding it down... till she can wait no longer and applies it to her need, "OOooooOOoH! Oh oh AHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" A failing hand turns the water off... and then joins the other to help... Meanwhile... "Hmm... I heard her shout... I wonder if she's okay. Ego... could you go check on her... I don't have the self control to look myself." He waits with no answer, "Ego? Hmm... he must have gone out for ice cream or something... how can he eat so much and not get bigger. I just don't know..." his pulse races, and he gulps once, "I'll just have to look at her myself... look in on her is what I meant... yeah. Damn slip of the tongue... argh! Let me just go see if she's okay..." He gets up from the computer... the screen and keyboard hover back where they were. Near the door... "Okay... calm down... just look in and see if she's okay... get a hold of yourself... you can do this..." he moves to look in... He blinks before he can see in, "Argh dirty mind... shape up!" He gulps once and looks through the cracked door on the scene within. He notices her on the floor in the stall, and is about to go in when he sees what she is doing. "Can't she control herself at all. Every time I turn around she's playing with herself." He closes his eyes and shakes his head... then opens them again, and continues staring in through the door. "Why... am I still watching... Eldrick... on the count of three stop watching..." She moans loudly and picks up the pace, other hand on the soap dish... white knuckled... she seems to not have noticed him... or at least he hasn't noticed the smile curl on her lips just now. Sliding in and out she moans again other hand coming back down and stimulating her clitoris like her life depended on it. He gulps, "What was I doing... oh right... about to count down and stop watching... yeah... 3... 2..." as he says one her back arches and she raises her one leg up to get it out of the way. Her feverish pace increasing she moans loudly, "OH GOD YES!! OH YES YES YES!!!!" hands almost not able to continue their efforts. Eldrick's hand is firmly wrapped around the door knob... his breath ragged... he tries to resume the count... but continues the wrong way," 2... 3... 4... 5... 6..." unconsciously counting her thrusts with the brush. He has accidentally pushed the door a little more open... and she can see his face... the lust and want plain... it sets off the flames within her... and she climaxes hands fling up and latch onto the faucet knobs... screaming her finality brush bobbing under control of her orgasmic contractions... her arm muscles clench dragging her almost to her feet... and one hand palms the stall door open... some water rushes onto the floor... not reaching her towel. The brush slides out and another undulation hits and she "falls" out of the stall onto her hands... screaming louder than before... she settles to the floor and a hand reaches under her and back. The door is nearly open but Eldrick can't see that fact... he only has eyes on the form before him writhing on the floor as her hand has found purchase in her vagina and is working madly on achieving her another climax. Lips and voice form, "Eldrick... come to me... please" and she looks straight at him. Their eyes lock... and then Eldrick blinks, and scrambles to his feet... and to her sudden horror... runs away towards his room. Suddenly sober... if hardly able to walk she grabs her towel and rushes from the room. Eldrick is outside and a few feet beyond the stairwell on this floor. He is shivering and clutching the robe about himself... obviously trying to calm down as best he can... and not succeeding to judge by his ragged breathing. He is staring at the door to his room... but seems unable to go in. She grabs the stair railing with her right hand to steady herself. "Eldrick..." she says softly and reaches towards him some 15 feet beyond her reach. He looks up and over... sees her, and pales... torn between rushing into his room and going to her right then. Obviously trying to purge the thought he grabs onto his ears and takes one step towards his room. "NO!!!!" she cries sobbing, and tries to run to him... only to catch a corner of the towel as it flings forward... she trips and starts falling backwards towards the stairs. Eldrick without thinking rushes and grabs her as she is about to tumble backwards down the stairs. They stand there for a minute in an embrace borne of worry on Eldrick's part of losing her to the stairs and to death itself. She recovers over the fact she almost died as a tear falls on her breast. She looks down at it and up at his face... eyes clenched... still probably going over her tumbling down the stairs and breaking her neck and landing in a heap on the floor below. "Eldrick, I..." He looks down at her as she speaks... and seems about to let her go. She grabs onto him crying herself, "No... don't let me go... don't ever let me go again. I love you and I won't let you go." "Ami I..." "Take me... take me now. If you never touch me again... just... take me..." she looks up at him then worried for how he will react. He then smiles... like a great big wall fell in his mind, "Yes." He picks her up into his arms. She cries with joy and hugs his neck... towel draped down his back. They pass into his room, and onward to his bed. Anticipation paints her face as she tosses the towel down onto the bed and arranges it... before he sets her down on it. He then reaches to undo his robe... but can't as she busies herself with the task. The robe belt falls away and to the floor, and she smiles up at him as she parts the robe... and pulls it off his shoulders. It too falls to the floor. She smiles ... the want plain as she stares hungrily into his crotch, and what is present there. She lays back and simply says, "Now..." He leans forward, and slides in, hands clasping hers as he leans further forward... and further in. She gasps, and a single tear slides down her cheek as he pulls out a bit and then returns. Gently in and out he continues, both nearly unable to think straight as the sensations reach their minds. Slowly tenderly he increases the rhythm, and puts the last inch in... She stares up and into his eyes... and then kisses him as he gets closer. Tongues tangle, and the pace picks up as both are closing in on the goal. Arms encircle bodies, and the action intensifies. Then suddenly both cry out... orgasm attained. He tries to continue... and she says, "It's okay... that's enough" in a lull between spasms. He nods, and carefully, slowly retreats his length out. She sighs happily, and looks over at him as he lays down next to her higher up on the bed. He holds his arm out and she pulls herself further up the bed. They embrace... holding each other till they fall asleep. The End. =0==0==0==0==0= "Hi all! *she smiles closing her eyes at the same time* Ami Kintaro here... you know that creation of Jason's..." started Ami in introduction to be interrupted with, "Eldrick's..." by a person in another room. She continues," Ah... thanks Eldrick..." in softer words... meant to not be carried to be next room," love you..." (the same is said in the other room... but loud enough to be heard) she sighs and continues just as softly... but with a big grin," What was I saying? Ah yes... in the following pages you readers will get a treat... as will I *wink* in the form of hot wonderful sex," she finishes... smoothing her sundress to her 34D-24-34 figure... red black hair framing a face written over with lust and need. She bites her lip lightly... and sighs longingly. A large shadow appears... seemingly behind you... though when you look you still don't see who is there. "Stop looking for me... only my shadow exists... anyway I'm Eldrick's Ego, and I do now state that I will have no part in these happenings once again. Adios all." The shadow vanishes. Ami smiles. "Wonderful," she adds, "No interruptions by Ego!" Ami winks. =0==0==0==0==0==0==0==0==0==0= Our story truly begins again. . . Chapter Two She turns and walks away... smoothing anew her dress... walking sexily... seemingly without knowing she is... hair swishing back and forth... caressing her back as she moves. "Ah there you are Ami," notes a very tan man... brown hair tied back... brown eyes look over. He sits behind a keyboard on a chair wide enough for two of him <> ... and as he looks over at Ami he smiles. "I was thinking of having some ice cream... did you want any?" he stands up and the keyboard retracts out of the way... wall monitor showing a nature scene now that it is not in use. "Lead on," she smiles. "No... not me you first." "Are you just saying that so you can look at my ass?" "Of course... why wouldn't I want to take every opportunity that I can?" he asked a grin wide upon his face. She walks up to him, and turns quickly... leaning, turning her head, "Well have a look then..." Foregoing words for actions he slides to his knees, and runs his hands over her backside, before slipping his hands up the back of her dress... laying hands on her silky curves. "And here I thought you had ice cream on your mind," she giggles and then coos as he kisses her dainty cheek. "Maybe later... right now I wish to taste something divine," he says while kissing her thigh. "Oh that was a bad line... "she giggles. "Then you don't want to?" he looks up from in front of her now, directly from kissing her thigh a second time. "Well... I could use some ice cream... but... if your mind is set," she says behind a large seductive smile. "Aye m'lady... me mind's made up." She offers her hand and says, "Then stand Sir Knight for this lady would be thine this eve," she giggles as he stands and scoops her into his arms. "And I'm saying bad lines? Ha!" he says as he carries her to what is now their room... not just his anymore. She pulls the towel off the dresser, and tosses it on the bed... it fills the air with spring time scents. She climbs out of his arms and arranges it... they then set to undressing her. She is soon nude and working on his shirt, but he impatiently dives right in... tongue tip brushing against her thigh. "And what... about your... clothes?" she gulps... panting. "Not yet," is all he says. She seems about to say something else, but quickly forgets it as his tongue finds a truer purpose... dancing upon her clitoris. He slips two fingers in under his chin, probing lightly her vagina. He finds a thicker spot and she gasps nails digging into his shoulders telling him clearly... he's found the object of his search. Nimble fingers caress and stimulate while tongue makes merry. She gets wetter and wetter... moaning and rubbing his neck as he works. She begins unbuttoning his shirt... and his free hand undoes his pants and slides them down. "I need it now... oh please now! Fill me!" He slides his fingers out... licking the juices off for but a moment, before placing cock to her need. A single tear and open, unable to make sound, mouth are the only testament to her clear want to be filled with his manhood. He thrusts lightly... probing more than thinking of speed... clenched teeth speak of his hitting home and he plies his member to higher speeds... now that the course is set. Again and again he fights at the barrier... trying to unleash the climax held within the tunnel of flesh. Quickly comes the worry of finishing too soon, and he bears down his mind to last. First must she be... she is all. Neither are far from the goal... her muscles squeezing him... milking him. A final mutual scream is heard... both looking joyfully on the face of the other... gladdened at not being done before the other. He carefully removes himself between spasms, and she lunges forward and cleans his manliness clean. When done they kiss, a minute finds itself expired before they end the embrace. "I think I'll go get the ice cream now," he, realizing it would be more work to get dressed again, simply sheds his remaining clothes like a skin, and leaves the room for the ice cream waiting in the freezer. "Large bowl right?" he cries descending the stairs. "Yes," she replies now at the railing... watching him descend... love... moreso than lust plain on her face. He below... looks up and smiles the same expression evident. The End. =0==0==0==0==0= "Hey... Ego here. They went out to a restaurant. If you hurry you might catch up to them. Here are the directions... turn around go back the way you came and then..." =0==0==0==0==0==0==0==0==0==0= Ami Tales 3 They stood before Won Toh's Chinese Buffet. Ami Kintaro was in awe at the size of the place. An authentic building had been constructed according to Traditional Chinese architecture all the way up to the pagoda... missing not one detail. "Come on," Eldrick said and lead her inside. She followed her soul feeling made of lead. "What's the occasion again?" She asked as she picked up her pace at the smell of the food within. "We've been together 2 weeks... and I thought I should do this. Do you not want to come here?" "Oh this is as good a place as any... Let's have at the food." She smiled... it was false. She was scared to death. .o0(What if... we are here to... No that can't be it... but...)0o. She was snapped out of it when Won Toh stepped from behind a bamboo panel and lead them himself to a table. "Our waiters and waitresses await your whims good patrons. Eat Well," and he bowed away from the table and went back to the entrance. "He does this... bring people to tables like a waiter?" "If requested yes. And he's a nice old man... he started as only a waiter and now look... this is a better place than the one he worked for *quieter* and I hear the food is superior. Although I have never been to his previous employer's establishment, I have been here a few times. Closed a deal here once." The Waiter arrived -early considering the crowd, which made her more upset,"And what would you like to drink?" "Ladies first." "Okay... what would you like to drink miss?" She put on her best face,"I'll have orange juice and water." "Very good choice... we just squeezed a new batch. And you sir?" "The same." "Very good sir, the buffet awaits you," he said bowing and moving off to deliver the table's drink order ticket. "Want me to "shop" for you as usual or you wanna pick and choose yourself." "Well I might as well get used to "shopping" myself." Eldrick blinked but soon caught up to her. .o(Should I have waited another week or something? Is something she wanted to watch on TV on? Did she have activities planned? Oh I hope I didn't ruin anything.)o. They picked food in near silence... he occasionally said what it was she pointed at but otherwise both were far too uncomfortable with their false smiles and happy unfelt tones. .o(She's sick of me ordering her around like a soulless fuck-bot. She wants her own life away from Eldrick the Creator who's just a dick with a body attached anyway. I've never been with a woman before her... and now that I've been with her I can't help but want to be with her all the time... is this love or lust... she probably thinks it's lust and wants no more to do with me.)o. .o0(He's sick of me acting like the only thing I can do is giggle jiggle and screw... but I can't help it... it's where I came from... I don't remember most of it thank the gods but... but I love every minute I'm with him... is it so wrong? HE's sick and tired of me... I know it...)0o. .o(Oh I'm sorry Eldrick... but all you wanna do is fuck... and I've had my fill bye.)o. .o0(Oh I'm sorry Ami... but all you wanna do is fuck... and I've had my fill bye.)0o. They sigh as they reach the table, and look at the other guardedly. "My I thought we were going to be in that line forever" they say at the same time. They giggles and laugh then... and then the walls fly back up. A few minutes later they still haven't started eating. Occasionally an "After you." tirade breaks out with no winner. Finally Ami said,"I want you to be happy... that is all that I want... if the meal is to be our last ever... then I won't spoil it by begging you to take me back... I'll leave peacefully... saying something to the effect that I'm going to the bathroom..." He sat there shocked for a few minutes... she asked,"I'm right aren't I, and you are shocked I guessed." He whipped around the table bouncing his chair back behind him, she stood worried something was wrong, and he buried his face her neck. He cried unable to speak for a few minutes... and so did she worried with all her heart that this was their last embrace... that he was about to spill it to her... {I'm so sorry... I know how much this must hurt you... but we really are no good for each other...} "I was so... worried... that you were tired of me... that the "honeymoon" was over and you were tired of me," he cried into her neck. Hearing those words she clutched him tighter too her,"I thought... my near constant desire was sickening you... making you think I only let you stay around was because of sex. That all I was was some sex starved freak who wanted a woman for sex only." "Shhh... shhh... there there Eldrick... I feel the same way. All I have been doing since I arrived was advance on you... I though you didn't like me... and I so wanted to be liked. I was so worried when you announced this that it was all over... that you'd tell me everything was out of mercy. You'd created me, found me... whatever... and were only "in love" with me out of kindness... but that'd worn thin." "I would never leave you... you are the only person who ever saw value in me that I believed," they said at the same time... and then the tears lessening a bit... they kissed. They woke up the next morning in the same bed which was new... with "doggy bag" boxes all around them from Won Toh's Buffet, and food stains all over each other's body. "We need showers..." "You go first Eld..." "No you go first." They laughed. "Let's take one together Ami." "I'll get the towels," she smiled and laughed. Eldrick led her then to the shower stall and turned the hot water on... mixed cold in till it was just right and as one they stepped into the spray. They of course fell lovingly upon one another... but that's another story. The End. =0==0==0==0==0==0==0==0==0==0= =0==0==0==0==0= "Hi all! *she smiles closing her eyes at the same time* Ami Kintaro here... you know that creation of Eldrick's." said Ami in introduction. She continues," Ah... well in this I will not be appearing in" in softer words," Oh that I wish that I was..." she sighs and continues just as softly... but with a big grin," What was I saying? Ah yes... in the following pages you readers will get a treat...," she finishes... smoothing her fuku to her 34D-24-34 figure... red black hair framing a face written over with worry and hope. She bites her lip lightly... and sighs longingly. A large shadow appears... seemingly behind you... though when you look you still don't see who is there. "Stop looking for me... only my shadow exists... anyway I'm Eldrick's Ego, and I do now state that I will have no part in these happenings once again. Adios all." The shadow vanishes. Ami sighs. "Well," she adds, "at least Ego won't be there..." =0==0==0==0==0==0==0==0==0==0= Our story truly begins again... Chapter Four As I sat there considering watching tape one of Neon Genesis Evangelion again. . . I thought of Ami. . . and well Misato Katsuragi and how damn similar they were... no... are. Why did I want to see it again... was it because she was SO like Ami it made my very soul hurt to look at her. To see her acting and interacting with the world? Or was it because the anime is so good? No... deep down that was just an excuse. "Mustn't even look at it," I mused, and turned bodily from the TV and VCR... unfortunately the quarter turn brought me face to face with the computer... where Ami lived. No way I could face her... what with lusting after another woman of Anime like I was. Sure they were both fictional... and it shouldn't hurt at all if I dropped Ami like a... like a... No, I couldn't compare her to a sack of anything unpleasant. She'd done so much for me. And was still helping. Sure I could write something up where she suddenly realized how much of a loser I was and leave me. But what then... write up something between me and someone almost exactly like her? My hand reached for the keyboard... I could just type up something and think of how she would think... sure I didn't need the computer to do that but it was easier... Easier than just thinking about it. Easier than asking. And so I turned away from the pair of them... sitting so close... like how close the two of them were in appearance... manner... body language... well at least on some things they seemed to see things differently but the similarities... I shrugged it all off and turned the chair around. Ignoring the issue... like a bad thread on the newsgroup... maybe I should burn the tape, and read that post Neo Atma made so that I could mentally killfile Ami. No that would be wrong... I tried to stop all thought... tried to not think... and my eyes slowly traced their way down from the blank smooth wall to the bed... still unmade still with things that don't belong on beds on it. Once again the sadness clutched me... it made me remember how alone I was... how alone I always was. Made me think that I'd always been lonely, and always been wanting to fill that loneliness in the arms of a girl... a beautiful girl... maybe not like Ami, or Misato... but oh I just needed to hold someone."Oh gods above the need" I said hugging myself eyes welling but long tired of tears from years and years passed... no tears fell, but I was almost crying. I considered why I was put on the earth... why I was living a life so. Parents untimely ripped away... father 12 years ago... mother... but one. The Longing hit again... not because of the reflections... but because during them I was staring at the bed and imagining Ami beckoning me to a night of rest alone... nestled in my arms. There was nothing ever wrong with me that she didn't like: My self hatred? Only made her want to show me how much I just needed love to cure it. My temper? It could be soothed away... slowly but surely... or I was blushing to admit to myself... screwed out of me. The Longing had me on the floor... writhing and sobbing... wanting to really taste of forbidden fruits... the nethers of a woman, breasts, thighs, lips... her love for me. Oh the need! Why would it not kill me? Surely it was putting me through enough trauma... surely my heart couldn't take it. I turned to bury it, appease it anything... I turned on the TV... and stopped... already all the scenes I wanted to see were unfolding in my mind "Now why don't you go and take a bath or shower. A good bath washes all the bad memories and sadness away," Said Misato... waggling her finger at Shinji. Scene where I could see the need for a hug on Shinji's face... and the want to give him one on Misato's face bright as the sun. Such a beautiful face when she was worried about him... so beautiful. My mind extrapolated the hair a different shade... rounded the lips a bit more... the lightest... hint... of a tan. Changed the eye placement and color but a tad, and there was Ami... same expression... saying... "I want you to be happy... that is all that I want... if the meal is to be our last ever... then I won't spoil it by begging you to take me back... I'll leave peacefully... saying something to the effect that I'm going to the bathroom..." I remembered the shock of hearing that... and rushing around the table to give her a hug... to tell her that it wasn't a break up meal... but to show her how much I wanted her in my life... how much I needed her. She'd told me that one day I'd meet a real girl and forget about her. I .. could... only.... agree, but I told her how much I needed her now... she mentioned that it was probably just for sex... I had held her closer then... face buried in her hair... smelling the scent of her. That wonderful never need deodorant or perfume scent that I sometimes was up nights just breathing in... unable to sleep. Perhaps I cried then... I'm not sure... I remember she looked around slightly saddened and said those odd words... "It didn't work?! But I thought this would get you to hate me. I'd even asked for advice from other Anime Girls while out when you were bathing... they said there was no way it couldn't work... unless you really... unless you... Do you?" she'd asked worry written all over her face. I don't remember what I'd said or did... but soon we were in the middle of the most heart felt kiss we'd ever shared, and after a while we spent the meal in silence... staring lovingly at each other... eating slowly... staring... we both chipped in on the check... and shared the fortune cookie that was brought... Ami'd suggested that only one be brought... so we could share it's message... I remember that that night we'd slipped out of our clothes, and under the covers, and into each others arms. Anyone looking through the skylight would have thought we'd fallen asleep in the middle of making love... but we didn't have to make what we already shared... During my trip down fanciful memory lane... The computer speakers flared into voice,"Come back to AGFF... I have something to show you..." said a voice like a crackling hearth. I assumed my speakers were burning and swirled the chair around then slid it out of the way. I smelled for smoke... the voice... chuckled. "I am not an external, or real ailment of your machine... I am Lossoth the Devil of Flame. I make enemies of friends. I make enemies bitter. I make flame wars turn more sear. I am Lossoth... and I love your usenet home. Come... see how I've fixed up the place... or do you want to wait till morning? It makes me no nevermind. I'll get you and all the fractures of your personality. Your light case of MPD will become my M.ost P.ertenant D.ata so I can use what you know and don't know about your acquaintances against them." I mused over acquaintances, and asked what it meant of that. "Well not all are your friends... surely you'd like to see them... @#$%BURNED%$#@ at the stake or some such," my monitor flickered to life and ICQ was running in chat mode... and the letters coming on screen were blinking red on a red background... which made no sense as ICQ couldn't do that... but the icons in the systray showed AIM running too... and the taskbar showed Eudora running... I figured it's evil was utilizing what it could from my system... in bizarre ways. "Come to AGFF... your little be'fuku'd girlfriend fights me here even now... and of course if you aren't careful... your precious Ego will join my armies. Come... save your friends... save yourself. I'd offer you the chance to join me but it would be pointless. You can not flame a spark." "That's what you mean by Lord of Flame... of Usenet threats?" "And you thought I meant hell? No... the mind creates more beautiful Angels and more hellish Demons than a true place for either ever could. Come warrior. Come priest. Come stealthy thief. Pick what guises you like... but come... I want you to barbecue in my flames. Come to Agff. Come NOW! Before all you know... and love... can find no recognition before you. To be continued... =0==0==0==0==0==0==0==0==0==0= =0==0==0==0==0= "Hi all! *she smiles closing her eyes at the same time* Ami Kintaro here... you know that creation of Eldrick's." said Ami in introduction. She continues," Ah... well in this I will be appearing again!" in softer words," and be warned the sex is back... well in the AGFFH version the sex is back..." she sighs and continues just as softly... but with a big grin," So pick your version right *wink* This is the ALT.GAMES.FINAL-FANTASY.HENTAI version so on the following pages you readers will get a treat... larger than the one the AGFFers will get," she finishes... smoothing her blouse and skirt along her 34D-24-34 figure... red black hair framing a face written over with contentment and hope. She bites her lip lightly... and sighs longingly. A large shadow appears... seemingly behind you... though when you look you still don't see who is there. "Stop looking for me... only my shadow exists... anyway I'm Eldrick's Ego, and I do now state that I will have no part in these happenings once again. Anyone needs me I'll be posting as Eldrick for a while." The shadow vanishes. Ami smirks. "Well," she adds, "Ego won't be here again... and no he's not in the other version hiding out." =0==0==0==0==0==0==0==0==0==0= Our story truly begins again... Chapter Five Eldrick fumbled with the door... visions of self hate slipping out of his mind as the blood flow directed itself elsewhere. "But Ami really... I was typing... and my self hate period is vanishing..." "Shhh... don't talk... unless you'd really rather not... I mean I can always go take a show..." trails off as she's swept away by a kiss. "I've been thinking about you so much... but didn't wanna approach you incase you didn't want to... I don't want you to say yes just because I want to," said nibbling on her earlobe... quietly... softly... She holds him away for a minute, "When I don't want to I'm not in the house," she smiles as she walks around him turning him about as well and sits herself on the bed. "So that means... ya aa!" his speech is cut off as she rips open her blouse and places his face between her breasts with a light gasp of her own. He seems to lose all thought as he breathes in her scent... the softness of her skin on his tongue... he couldn't take it... his tongue snakes along her delicate curves up one slope and down the other. Meanwhile she was all but ripping his clothes off... frantic for bare skin to run her hands over... then the shirt was off, and she slipped his belt off... he paused then and looked up at her... a hungry leer upon his face which set her pulse racing visibly on her neck, "I can't wait much longer Eld... I've been too long without." An emphatic nod is his answer... as he snakes his tongue down past her navel while kicking off his pants... removing his underwear in one go... save for a kick to remove that last hindrance. But his taste buds can't be denied as he plunges his probing tongue into her womanhood. She cries out and clasps her hands around his neck keeping him there... pushing him further in. /lick lick lick/ /and she's coming quick/ /lick that thing... lick that thing/ Starts playing in the background... they are oblivious... too locked in their pleasurable dance to notice that music is playing and there is no device capable of it in the room with them. "Eldrick... this is nice and all but..." she trails off seeing him come up and nod. She closes her eyes and bites her lip... determined to not cry out and sicken Ego in the other room. He moves up, licking the last of her off his lips before he slides his manhood home. She almost screams out but he kisses her to contain it, and then begins his rhythm. Ever so slowly in and out... hands clasped together... tongues twirling around each other every now and then. "Faster?" "Yes..." is all she answers almost screaming, as the tempo increases... grasping his buttocks pulling him down as he thrusts. /a fine sweat glistens/ /on our sex kittens/ /sweat and sex... sweat and sex/ Again they fail to notice the music piping into the room... from nowhere. He closes his eyes, "I think I..." She kisses him ending the sentence. Some unknown number of kisses later, his eyes snap open, and he climaxes filling her. So long has it been that she climaxes instantly as he fills her, and she savagely hugs him to her, and he does likewise. Crushed together thusly... both quaking from their orgasms... they finally hear the music... /slap slap slap/ /go the bodies as they clap/ /spill it spill it yeah yeah yeah/ ... and a voice laughing as the music fades, "Boy howdy that was pathetic... is that the best you can do?" "Ego," says Eldrick, "you know we haven't in a while, and we really needed this." Ami's eyes go wide, "Eld I don't think..." she's cut off. "EGO!!? EGO!!! I AM NOT CONTRAINED BY THY PITIFUL EGO YOU WORTHLESS DOG! I AM FAR ABOVE SUCH PETTY RESTRAINTS!!!" bellows the voice. Lights flare up... they find themselves still on their bed... but it has obviously been transported somewhere... perhaps by spell... "Who are you... and where have you brought us?!" calls Eldrick out... searching for where the voice could have come from in the smooth walled... cylinder they were at the bottom of. "FORGOTTEN ME SO EASILY HAVE YOU?" the tone of the voice was slick with humor. "Lossoth..." both Ami and Eldrick say at the same time. "Oh... how sweet... choral speaking... AWW HOW CUTE. NEVERTHELESS YOU ARE MY PRISONERS NOW... THERE IS NO ESCAPE FROM MY DOMAIN! YOU ARE mine FOREVER." "We will not be held by one such as you, Vile Lossoth," spat Ami as she reached out her left hand... her staff appearing... she stands next to the bed holding it in both hands. In a simple bright flash... she is clothed in her fuku... clothed for combat. She whirls the staff and taps it to a halt... thunder seems to resound. "Show yourself coward! Thy defeat is near!" "Cute is she not when she's angry," says Lossoth in Eldrick's mind, "Too bad I will have to destroy her. Such a sweet sweet shame you both must be destroyed. I had such great plans for both of you..." Lossoth's lecherous laugh echoes. "NEVER WILL WE BE YOUR PAWNS!!!!!" Eldrick screams leaping straight up off the bed... his sword appears above him... he grabs it and the air in the room rushes towards him for just a second... and he is clad in cloth of cerulean blue. Black cape and bracers appear upon him. He lands on the ground and boots appear on his feet. His combat stance shows him ready for anything. "Show yourself demon! We are ready for you!" announces Ami. "READY? WHAT DO YOU KNOW OF IT... HAVE YOU TAKEN THE LONG VIEW... HAVE YOU EXAMINED ALL POSSIBILITIES? HOW CAN YOU BE READY FOR ANYTHING??!" Lossoth says dismissively. "LIGHT AND SHADOW COLLIDE AND JOIN ME! BE MY HENCHMEN!! Thug Summon!!!" Golden skinned warriors in jet black armor appear suddenly... a rank thick... circling them and the bed. "SUBDUE THEM..." Lossoth appeared then as the walls lit in fire, and burned away in an instant leaving a cage with a white stone floor suspended over a river of fire, "I STILL HAVE PLANS FOR THEM... OH YES... SUCH WONDERFUL PLANS." He leered at them as he rose into the air on a pillar of white marble. As one the 15 warriors drew kriss blades detailed in flames. 2 of them fall quickly as Eldrick waves at them... swirling winds like razors cuts them to ribbons. Ami vaults off her planted staff planting a heel in one warrior's eye, using him as a platform she leaps off him burying the tip of her staff in his chest. She pulls it out gracefully. One of the Warriors stabs himself in the heart... and the other warriors kriss blades extend into swords. "WONDERFUL SPELL ISN'T IT... SPENT 2 YEARS RESEARCHING IT." calls down Lossoth watching the battle from his lofty position. A few warriors rush Eldrick and Ami separating them and crashing into the bed. Mindlessly they hack at the bed before Lossoth barks something in an odd language and they whirl around to find Eldrick right there slicing the middle one from chin to navel. Its armor spreading away from the currently glowing blade. The 2 warriors left stab forward he leans back blade vertical. They bring their blades up and around striking at his waist... he leaps back and as the air rushes towards him suddenly pushing him back their swords pass through where his waist was... and their momentum carries the blades into each other's waist chopping them in half... While all that was happening... Ami rushes her own triad, leaping and tumbling and caving in the skull of one warrior, before spinning around and cracking the staff into the neck of another, leaping over the staff as it tentatively rests in the warrior's neck she kicks the third with her left heel. The warrior grabs the staff buried in his neck and wrenches it upwards. She hangs on though and slides down when he has it straight up... spiking him with her heels, and leaping taking the staff with her. Eldrick lands from his Air Jump just a foot from where Ami comes down. They glare at the remaining four... which are now in a group. "ONLY FOUR LEFT... MUST DO SOMETHING," he waves an arm and 2 of the remaining 4 kill themselves... the remaining 2 become black of skin and their armor flares golden colors reversing. "Didn't think you'd make it this far... but you'll go no further. KILL THEM!!" Lossoth commands and points. As one the Warriors nod, then break off running. Eldrick stands fast and Ami rushes to flank... but the one on her side turns and jumps... landing behind her in a blink. She whirls around bringing up her staff just in time to avoid most of a blow... the top of her fuku split down the middle but the strike ended before it would have ended in the thrust that was obviously planned. She pauses to frown at the warrior and pat her stomach checking for wounds. It takes the opportunity to yank hard on his sword... catching her staff and propelling her over his head. She tumbles on the landing to break her fall staff horizontal. She rolls to standing. "Eldrick," she calls, "These guys are much smarter." "I'd only just noticed myself," he answers during the war of position him and the other warrior are having... swords clash... fighters move... clash... move... clash move. She nods and sees the Warrior she's fighting leap into the air again looking like he plans on a flying slash... she predicts his position and throws her staff like a javelin... it glows green and speeds up... ripping through the warrior like butter. It lands on the other side of Eldrick and his foe... driven into the stone floor of the cage. The sword fight shifts around till it ends up... next to the staff and as a low slash from the Warrior knocks against it, Eldrick repositions, leaping and spinning... the Warrior bring his sword up to block with the flat of the blade, as Eldrick connects screaming. His sword rips through the Warrior's neck and breaks the kriss sword. Eldrick lands panting. Ami walks over smiling and together they try to pull out her staff... only to feel the cage shake as something big takes a step. They look over to see 2 ten foot tall Warriors with large mallets. One Warrior of Black... of Shadow. One Warrior of Gold... of Light. "THESE YOU WILL LOSE TO. THEY ARE FAR MORE POWERFUL, AND FAR STRONGER THAN THE PREVIOUS. NOW... 'YOU WILL DIE' I love that line... AHEM... KILL THEM." They don't move. "I SAID KILL THEM!!!" They turn to face Lossoth. "WELL??? KILL THEM!!!! I COMMAND IT!!!" Lossoth screamed... face flushed red in outrage that they did not obey. The Shadow shook it's head and growling rushed the column. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING NOT ME!!!" "I think... you've upset them... they are pure shadow and pure light... and are probably polarized to good and evil... and you are trying to force them to do thy bidding," started Eldrick. "I'd imagine Evil hates being given orders... hence why it is attacking you, and Good won't listen to a being tainted by evil..." finished Ami. The column toppled... and Shadow growled with glee and rushed to stomp on Lossoth. Light rushed over and blocked Shadow... arms spread. "Hmm not just good and evil but compassion and revenge." Eldrick just nodded to what Ami said. Personally afraid to move. Lest one or the other find something in him to want to attack. Ami felt about the same but kept it a bit lower... she didn't know if surface thoughts might be a problem too. Shadow moved. It grabbed Light by the neck... And the most fascinating thing happened... they canceled each other out. Leaving nothing behind. Lossoth looked up, and then did some movement that was obviously magical. The floor shifted... Lossoth disappeared... they dove for the staff... hoping there was some kind of a hinge. And there was. The flames below roared tripling their height... and that lecherous laugh was heard. "I wonder how long you can hang on... not long I'd imagine... HAHAHA YOU WILL DIE... just as I planned!" They hung there for a while... renewing grips. "When we make it out of here Eldrick... remind me to buy a new fuku top." He looked... and grinned, "No problem." He slowly moved an arm down to pull the top closed. She smiled at him. He smiled... and suddenly there was a carrot in his hand. "What the heck?" "Where'd you get that Eldrick?" "I don't know... it just appeared." "Ego was telling me he'd seen you making carrots before... that they'd just appear... you were always handing them to cabbits." "Be nice if we had one now huh Ami?" "Well while we are hanging here... think you could make another? I'm a bit hungry." "Um I'll tr..." the carrot appeared "I barely thought about it and poof a carrot," another appeared that fell into the fire below. "Well here... lemme feed this to you before I drop it." He smiled and she took a bite. Soon the carrot was gone. He made one for himself. "It looks funny watching you do that," she giggled. "Mind in the gutter." "Yours is," she chided. "True true... wonder if I can make a rocket carrot or something," he said as he motioned his hand out over the fire. A carrot as big as the shuttle appeared and fell into the fires below... but it was just a normal carrot. It was a mistake. The rising steam slicked up the staff... and they fell. He manipulated the air into a bubble and they stopped falling. "You saved us!" "For now... the air is too hot to seal the bubble. So we'll hang here till I lose concentration totally." "Gives us time to figure something else out... any way to get this thing to float up? I think I can barely see the sky way up there." "Well it is basically riding the heat from the fires below... I seriously doubt Lossoth is gonna help by raising the fire level." "Maybe if you drop a lot of large carrots?" "Maybe... it might work... there's something to hang onto. Something to hope for." "Yes... Hope..." she kissed him and hugged onto him... while he shrank the bubble a bit so that he could concentrate on really large carrots. Steam... lots of it... just barely not penetrating the bubble... the bubble shot up with each carrot tossed into the fire. "YOU SHALL NOT GET AWAY! YOU CAN'T DO YOUR FIRE TRICK WITHOUT A FIRE!!!" The fire snuffed instantly... they dropped like a rock. The bubble shredded with the speed. They clutched each other. "Maybe... some of the carrots are mushy enough from all the steam that we'll land alright... gotta have hope right?" "Yeah Ami... gotta Hope for it." They passed out from the fall. Later... They were in the guest room at their house. Eldrick stirred next to her. "Eldrick are you okay?" "Yeah... but I snapped a rib on something. Ow... and I'm tapped out of magic currently..." "If I only had my," she looked around the room... and there it was leaned in the corner by the door, "staff..." "Maybe that's what I hit..." "Probably... lemme get on that spell for you," she slid out of the bed... barely noticing that she was naked. She got the staff and raised it over her head... magic glowed around her, and she casts the spell. Eldrick whined about it hurting like all get out. She smiled at him and then came over to kiss the wound to make it better. "When did we take off our clothes, Ami?" "Where ARE our clothes." "They are in the laundry... I took the liberty," said a soft lilting voice by the door. "Hope is that you?" asked Ami. "Yes. Sorry I couldn't come sooner... I had my own troubles... Lossoth had planned well." Hope's voice wavered a bit, "I'll see you both some other time." She could be heard walking away. "Nice to meet you, Lady Hope," called Eldrick. Hope's step increased... she was running down the steps now. Ami watched her from the doorway. She shakes her head sadly. "Something wrong honey?" "Hope really envies us... she doesn't have so much as a minute off for a relationship... but she hopes one day she'll be able to relax just a little bit... be able to have a life besides the vigil," Ami sighed. "That's terrible... I understand why she ran now. You mean she has NO free time?" "Maybe a day every year... I don't think she's taken this year's yet." "Well when she does I hope she enjoys every minute of it." "Oh yeah? You think she sounds sexy eh? Well?" "A bit... I suppose..." "Well we'll have to purge these thoughts out of your mind horny boy," she smiled at him as she slinked up the bed to him. The End. =0==0==0==0==0==0==0==0==0==0= =0==0==0==0==0= And our tale adds another chapter =0==0==0==0==0==0==0==0==0==0= Chapter 6 I placed the remote down... the VCR spinning the tape to the end... where it would then auto rewind. / What does it mean to exist?/ The question prodded my mind... it wouldn't be ignored. My thoughts shifted into my own mind... [Do you have a reason to exist?] I don't understand the question. [Shinji has his... but do you have a reason to exist?] No... [So then you don't exist?] I exist... but I don't matter. [Why don't you matter?] It's not important. [Why?] Because I'm not important. [Circular logic. "I don't matter because I am not important."] Maybe it is because of circular logic that I exist? [You doubt your words] Because they are my words and I am nothing. [Your words are nothing?] Because I am nothing. [If you are nothing then how are we talking? I don't know. [Doubt So what? [Evasion I'm not evading [Deceit Yes... I am misleading you... I am awful. [For your words? No... simply because I am awful. [Why? Because I hate myself. [Why? Because I have no purpose. [Everyone has a purpose. Not me. I'm nothing. I'm awful. I hate myself. [Why? Because I have no purpose [Deceit. No it isn't... I'm not lying. I hate myself. No one loves me. [Does it matter? Yes it does. It does to me. [How can something matter to nothing? It just does. [If something matters to nothing then nothing must be something. I guess. [Why does it matter to you I don't know. [Why? I don't know. [Evasion. I want to be loved. [But to be loved must you not hate yourself first? Why should I? [Because how can one love one who hates themselves? I don't know. [Doubt. Of course I doubt. I doubt why I exist. I doubt the ability of me to like myself. I doubt the ability for others to like me. [Your mother liked you. She was forced to. She was my mother after all... it is hard for a parent to hate their child overlong. [You doubt a mother's love? I doubt any love for me. [But yet you hope for love... how? I hope there is someone who can love me for who I am. [Faults and all? Yes. [Contradiction. I know. [Why is it you want love, but cannot accept it? I don't know... [ You don't know or you can't say? I can't say... {Blackness} {Light... Sound a place above the session. Ego: You think he'll be better because of this? Ami: Oh Ego he has to be... he just has to... if he goes on living like this... then... Hope: How is he doing... and don't turn around. Ego *halting*: A bit better we hope... but we just don't know Hope. Ami: All we have is hope. Hope: That's why I'm here. I'll be near... don't look for me. {Later... Below} [Why do you think you exist? To exist. [Insufficient. To hate myself. [That is not a purpose. It is mine. [By hating yourself you have a purpose... therefore you have a reason to exist... therefore you exist to hate yourself. Yes... you are correct. [No I am quite wrong. How do you expect someone to love you? I don't know. [Why? Because I don't [Why? I already said why. [Deceit. Why? I am afraid. [Of What? Knowing why. [You are afraid of knowing why you hate yourself? Yes. [Why? Because I fear it is baseless. [So you hope you are not here to just hate yourself? Yes... I hope that is so. [Why? Like you said... no one can love someone who only hates. [You hate? Yes... I hate myself, Because I exist without purpose. [What do you wish your purpose was? To be loved. [And it is not already? I'm too full of hate. [At? Myself... the world... everything. [Why? Because I can't fulfill the purpose I desire. [Greed Is it so wrong? [Vanity. I just want to be happy! [Then be happy. I can't [Why? Because I am unhappy. [Your unhappiness is all in your mind. I know that. [Then change. I can't [Why? The world won't let me. [Why? It likes me as I am. [And that is not enough? No... because I cannot love... or be loved. [Ami loves you. Because I created her to. [But she loves you. She doesn't exist! [She exists in your mind. That doesn't matter. [You love her. That matters less. [Because she doesn't exist? Yes... no. [Evasion. Yes because it is that I love another, and no because the fact remains she is immaterial. [But if she were material you could love her? I don't know [Why? How could she love me if I'd yet to stop hating myself? [If you stopped could you love her? Yes... [But could she still love you? I don't know. [Why? Because I made her when I hated myself. The spark may be gone. [You like to torture yourself this way? It is one of the ways I prove I exist... even without a purpose. [Abuse of yourself gains nothing. It is not a purpose. It's something to do. [There are other things to do. Like what. [You could try to like yourself. Improbable. [Why? I do not like myself. [People change. Improbable [Ami likes you... she is a part of you. Therefore some part of you wants to stop the hate. It's in the minority [Why? Because it almost doesn't exist. And even if it did... it would just be another thing in existence for me to ignore. [You ignore those who exist? I ignore myself. [You ignore those who exist? I exist with them... and they are happy that I too exist. They like me as I am but I do not like me as I am. I want to change. [Then change. I can't. [Nothing is set in stone. No? [No... Everything changes... people change... you can change. Because it is not written in stone? [Correct. But you said you are always wrong. [On this I am correct. Why? [Because you accepted it... therefore what was wrong becomes what is right. It is now accepted... it therefore can't be wrong... Can it? Why are you asking me?! [Because you are the one who questions the self, and I am the one who questions why you question the self. And So I question you. So if something is accepted it can't be wrong. . . Can it? I don't know. [Why do you doubt? Cause I do not trust my answer to be correct. [If you accept it, it is correct. I can't accept it. [Then it is wrong. Maybe. [Doubt. Of course I doubt. [Why do you doubt this time? I do not trust my answer. I can't trust it. [Why can't you trust it? Because it is my answer. [Could you agree if someone else agreed to it? Maybe... [Doubt. Why do you trust so little? I do not trust myself. [Why do you not trust yourself? Because I can be wrong. [Is it because you hate yourself? Yes... I can't trust what I hate. [But you don't trust others... andso you hate everyone. Hmm... you are repeating yourself. If someone were right would you trust them? Maybe... maybe I could trust them on the thing they were right about. [I say you that you hate yourself, and do not know truly why. Am I correct? Yes. [But I am wrong. How? [I do not accept that I am right about you. Therefore on that I am wrong. I don't understand. [What is right and wrong... truth or falsehood... is based on the individual. You believe that I am right about you hating yourself because you agree with that... but I do not agree. One of us has to be right... and I am wrong. You are agreeing to a Falsehood... so you too are wrong. But I hate myself! [That is wrong as I have already proven. But it's right to me! [But I am a Part of you... Ami is a Part of you... and we disagree. Therefore you are wrong to think you hate yourself because you do not entirely agree with yourself. You are manipulating me. [Correct. I am manipulating you. I am now more trustworthy... No... manipulating people is wrong. [Morality. That is not the issue here. I am more trustworthy because I am right on 2 things. I manipulate you, and you do not hate yourself entirely. You are confusing me. [Is it not man's existence to be confused? What makes up a quark? What makes up those? Infinite Regression. A thing which is confusing. You are right. [Another feather in my cap. Am I right in saying you'd LIKE to be able to like yourself? Yes. [You are headed down the right path now. Because if I don't hate myself, and I might be able to like myself... I may be able to love, and therefore by that I may have a purpose, and that I may exist? [If you did not exist... we wouldn't be talking... like I said before. Yes, you did. [So you Exist? Yes. [So you have a purpose in that you are trying to be loved? Yes. [So you would like to like yourself? Yes. [Then you must change. I must? [You must accept that you must change for this to be. Hate... to Love. Fear to Trust. Nothing to Something. And since I'm not nothing I'm on my way! [Yes. I exist. I can like myself. I can like me the way I am. I can accept that I am who I am. I can accept the world, for it accepts me. {Above} Ego: *hanging jaw* I almost don't believe it. Ami: We must hope that he is sincere. Hope: Hope survives... I must go now... I'm needed elsewhere. Ami: You sound tired Hope... does your day off approach? Hope: I... um... spent it already Ami. Ami: Did you have a good time. Hope: *quavering* Um... ah... yes Ami... I did. *quieter* A wonderful time. Hope: I must go now... Ego: Good luck. Hope: I hope I'll not need that... but thanks anyway. If I need it I hope it helps. Ami: Fight on, Hope. Hope: Be good to each other. {Below... Jason ejects the tape and puts it away.

Her staff on her back she continued free-climbing. "Your climb goes well I trust?" called down Hope a few feet higher, lilting voice trying to not be carried. "Swimmingly," replied Ami, "just wish we could use the stairs or... magic... but either would give away our position." "That's right... and there are still 7 floors left to ascend." "Seven? So anything on your mind that you want to talk about?" Hope paused, then resumed climbing, "Nothing particularly. Anything you wish to talk about?" "Hmm... no real need to talk about Eldrick's injury... one spell and poof... And I can't talk about his air race with Cid because... because well it hasn't happened yet." "Is he using a craft this time?" "Oh yes. He'd thought be could fly fast through air manipulation last time ... boy was he wrong," she giggles," This time he's taking a Valkyrie. I hope he does better than before," more giggling. "I envy you your happiness, Ami. Here we are free-climbing one of Lossoth's Mundane warehouses, and you can still find something to make you smile. A remarkable talent is that." "I really wouldn't say I'm talented..." and the rest is barely heard as Hope's mind is assaulted... as usual... by Lossoth. <<{[ "Oh yes Hope... right there," Ami moans around the object in her mouth. Eldrick stills his tongue for a second," Yes Hope you are so good to us..." She heard her own voice now as she paused her tongue and looked back at Eldrick," That's because you both are so," she gasps in ecstasy, " oh... so... wonderful to me. Now where was I." ]}>> Hope shook her head to clear the false image from her mind. She was used to such things constantly bombarding her from Lossoth... so used to them in fact that people never noticed that it was happening to her. She'd just keep walking... running... climbing... and unless someone looked at her face... into her eyes... they'd never know. Sometimes they were disgusting... sometimes her fondest wish. She didn't give it a second's thought on where to classify this one, and just reached for another hand hold. And again she was bombarded. <<{[ She was absolutely conscious of this one... must be an old one... Out from the faucets came tentacles... of all shapes and sizes... oozing towards her. She smirked in her mind, and her staff appeared and in 2 motions cleared the entire room for all but one... which looked so familiar that her heart ached just looking at it... <<[{ "Are you sure about this?" Eldrick asked... a bandage around his ribcage. .o0( Should I let them remember any of this? No... too many complications)0o. "I've never been so sure about anything. I want both of you on so many levels, that I can think of NOTHING else lately." And before they could protest she was unclothed and staring into his crotch. So long since she'd had one -as in never- that she swallowed it wh.... }]>> Tears streaming from her eyes she brought her staff down on the tentacle. It was gone... they all were. "TEMPTATION CAN BE DELICIOUS CAN'T IT, LADY HOPE" cackled Lossoth's voice. .o0(I will wake from this day-mare now...)0o. ]}>> And she did. "Hope did you hear me?" asked Ami below. "I'm truly sorry Ami. Too much on my mind. All the people I can't go to right now... but I am consoled by the fact that after this mission there is a strong chance He won't be bothering anyone for a while. "What had you said now, Ami?" Hope finished. "Just remarking about Eldrick working out for today's race. He had a bad feeling about today... so he felt he should be in a better shape than pear today," she sighed. "I just hope he's going to be okay... oh but you should have seen him. Tearing through the practice dummies," she giggles," Simply as a joke when he was done he smiled at me and poked the last one in the butt..." Another Assault... <<{[ He held her motionless. She leaned into the practice horse ready. .o0(Oh yes please now... now I can't wait any... oh yes!)0o. She could think no longer as he lent speed to his initial thrust... this is what she'd waited years for... eons... and on his practice room floor she was getting it. She turned to look at him... ... and his faced melted! She leapt away, calling her staff to her. She was ready for combat... and Lossoth just laughed. "You'll take ANYONE you can get won't you? Are your sights so LOW that even that bag of fat is acceptable? Even I'D BE BETTER THAN HIM! The other was at least tolerable... the fop. But THAT thing?" He guffawed. "I do not appreciate your mental invasions. Get thee hence!" ]}>> And she came out of it. This times she'd stopped moving. "Hope? Is everything alright? Oh my! You're trembling... and... ouch... crying too .o0(wish I had a hand free to wipe my eye..)0o." asked Ami below. "Yes... something is wrong," Hope replied in a shaky voice... which suddenly grew in strength, "It is wrong that the Demon Lossoth is still free to cause mischief on the Mortal Plane! I shall see him captured... or DESTROYED!" On that note... a head popped out of the window Hope was right next to. "Wha da ell's goin' on?" said the head. Hope in a move that completely told physics to take a powder swung self and staff around and into the window. Ami scrambled up and in. "Tell us where thy boss hides the Olynim," Hope commanded of the man cowering in the corner with a welt on his face muttering about not having gone to the party all the other guards had gone to. "It b' two flars down fr'm da roof. I&I don know no more." "Ami tie him up. I fear I'll hurt him in my mood," And then Hope vanished to scope the current floor out. "I&I know I b' da pris'nar an' all dat, but what be bodderin' her?" While tying, "Wish I knew. That knot will automatically untie when we leave. Try not to struggle or it will tighten." Ami held her hand out to the side and her staff was there. She moved out of the room and onto the floor. Hope appeared, "My mind detects a move against Eldrick." "Oh my! In what form?" "I see multiple females... putting on magical disguises... their minds are plain... they intend to... *she's fighting another invasion* seduce him..." MEANWHILE "So they know my plan... can see my move... I have many plans and many moves," muses Lossoth on his marble throne. "Yes master you have many moves... many wonderful moves," says some lithe girl from his lap. "Leave me... your time is up." "But Great Master, I'm not done. I've not been blessed yet," she trembled cutely. "Your blessing shall have to wait till later. Bring my orb... I must see how the other girls are doing... and receive their report." "No blessing..." under her breath as she runs out, "at least they'll get damned by that cleric... wish I'd gone with them. No blessings or damnation for me today. Oh pooh!" "What are you mumbling?! Get my orb! NOW!" "Mumbling nothing Great Master. Here... Here is your orb Great Master. Do you wish to place it on my back while I pick up where I left off?" she leaned close so he could reach almost any part of her if he wished. "Tempting but no. We'll pick up later. You there guard!" "Great Master?" he hit the floor in homage. "I command you to screw her till one of you bleed." "Oh hey... I haven't had a mortal in millennia!" she joyously cooed. "Hush now I'm giving orders." "Yes Great Master." She materialized an oil and started rubbing it over herself giddily. Prostrate on the floor, "But Great Master. I am supposed to guard you and the Olynim." "YOU ARE TO DO WHAT I SAY!" "But..." "ONE MORE WORD AND I GIVE HER YOUR SOUL! NOW GO FORNICATE!" "I will do..." the guard starts standing running a hand through his hair. The demonette lands lightly furling her wings and grabs his arm and pulls him off and away finishing with what she thought he was about to say, "...who you say. That's the spirit! Don't mind me as I peel you out of that deliciously restrictive armor. Gotta get a set for myself. But anyway this oil is to keep your soul in as we..." she giggles and they've left the room. "AH... ALL MY DEMONETTES HAPPY," he looks in the orb as the listen lizard speaks to him of the scene on his shoulder. MEANWHILE... "Oh aren't we a big mortal!" "Well I work out..." he says nervously as she flies him down the stairwell in her arms. Hope's staff thunders past the demonette's view. "Wow! That's a big staff!" Hope, hand outstretched, intones, "Hold demon! What goes on... here?" she notices he's nude. "Oh don't mind us... do what you like to Lossoth. We've been commanded to go F.U.C.K. Such a great Great Master we have, no?" she giggles and pats his head. "You mean you're gonna just let us walk on up?!?" a confused Ami asks. .o0(This is REALLY odd)0o. "Well the Great Master is very hard to kill or imprison... and if you do manage to do either... well it's no skin off my nose. He snubbed me... sent all my sisters off on a mission that will probably fail... leaving me with no one to have fun with," she pouts a second... he squirms," Oh yeah and him he gave his soul to the master so if he dies he just becomes a mindless zombie... which he doesn't even realize he already is... he just shares a mind with all the other guards that is in a glass case on the next floor. "I'm a Zombie! NO!" he clings to her crying. "There there. You can always rush up the stairs and demand to be given back your post... he gives your soul to me... and you can... earn it off me. I think you'll have "worked" off the debt in 300 years. How's that sound?" "Sounds like a way out of a dead end career if you ask me," adds Ami. Suddenly a projection of Lossoth appears facing the demonette, "Konei? Ah there you are. What? You AREN'T ENGAGED IN CARNALITY YET!?!" "Sir, I want nothing to do with her!" Konei balls, "HE WON'T SCREW ME! WAHHH!" "HOW DARE YOU MAKE A WOMAN CRY... KONEI! HERE IS HIS SOUL. DO WITH IT AS YOU WILL!" he disappears. Hope and Ami quietly, "Hypocrite." "Where does he get off chastising other people when he does the same thing?" Konei adds. "He's an evil tyrant?" adds the so far nameless guard. Hope nods, "Point taken." "Not yet but it will be," Konei giggles. Into a cloud of brimstone smoke Konei steps with the guard... to a large bedroom. The cloud vanishes. "Come on. To Lossoth we go!" "That room looked familiar..." "Ami!" "Right, on my way." "Ami... should we transfer over to your house to stop Konei's sisters?" asks Hope suddenly. "No. I trust him." "You do?" She halted mid-turn. "Yes to ignore their attempts, in which case it wouldn't be his fault if they still had their way with him, OR to give in instantly and enjoy himself. As long as when we get back he and I sleep in the same bed it doesn't matter. I love him that's what matters. He loves me that's what matters also. If he strapped a woman to a statue in the town square and S&M'd her on camera provided I got a copy of the film it wouldn't matter one bit." She hastened to add, "Not that I'd want him to do that to ME. I'm personally not into that. Hope what's wrong?" "I... I'll... tell you later," Hope smiled at her and then calling her staff back rushed up the stairs with Ami following. MEANWHILE... The Following Mental conversation takes place feet from the home of Ami and Eldrick. D1:"You all know your lines?" D2:"We grab him and screw his brains out?" D4:"First we have to get into the house numbskull." D2:"I'm your sister you don't get to call me numbskull!" D3:"Clarify our lines dear sister," she glares at the other two. D5:"Yes please, beautify my ears with your informative words." D1:"Haris, you will masquerade as Hope. Charhon you will masquerade as Ami" D3:"I hope my Hope is convincing." D4:"I wondered why I was in a fuku... should I tattoo "I love Jason" on my butt too?" D2:"I thought his name is Eldrick..." D5:"He has cast aside his earthly name for the name Eldrick. So much nicer I think." D4:"El Dick. Got it." D3:"Eldrick." D4:"Right." D1:"The rest of us... we strip down to our hatching day suits." D5:"We shall expose our beautiful bodies and he shall believe the wonderful merde we fling and then we get..." D2:"To have hours of sex with him!" D4:*yawning* "Can't wait." D3:"I wonder if he likes this Hope? I mean we know he'll want you... if you are convincing..." D4:"I'll be convincing." D1:"Hold still you two," she says as she rips up bits of their costumes. "There now you look like you fought us subdued us and just need to dump us somewhere while the authorities arrive... and maybe have a change of clothes." D2:"I'll ring the bell!" D4:"You should be competent enough to do that..." D5: *spritzing their throats with SynthVoice* says a quick, "Good luck!" to !Ami and !Hope. AT THE HOUSE... "Exterior camera shows Ami and Hope are here. Ego mind the floor." "Yeah Yeah... I'll make sure the computer doesn't try to "uplink" the toaster." "Oh really Funny." "Why thank you Speed Racer... or do you want me to call you Rick Hunter?" Muttering Eldrick heads to the elevator... punches into HomeCentral that Ami's car needs to be moved from garage 2 so that the "girls" who are in Ami's custody have someplace to "stay" for a while. He pats himself on the back for anticipating the situation. What were those girls anyway? Gargoyles? Demons? .o0(I hope they aren't really that nude... must be a faulty lens.)0o. "Must be demonettes... being that they are female and all," looking into the monitor he looks the group over, "Ami certainly is happy to have caught these... girls. Stance defiant so they know who is the boss. And Hope... she looks as... miserable as her voice has sounded. Weight of the world must be quite a strain. Something is on her mind also," he gulps, "I hope she didn't notice that I saw her blushing the other day... maybe she told Ami... and that's the defiant look... I hope she... isn't... going to leave me... no... she won't... I hope." The wall beeps. "Ah ground level... what the intrusion alarm is STILL going in the guest bedroom? Gotta fix that circuit I suppose." He answers the door. "Eldrick. We need to store these vicious criminals till..." starts !Ami who just stares... "... the authorities arrive? Federated Investigation Board will be a few hours as usual. Garage 2 is prepped and ready. Hello? Ami? Hope?" They snap out of it. "Thank thee for thy help again Eldrick. Sorry if there is any inconvenience." says !Hope. "Don't say such things Hope. You're always welcome. Easy enough to move the car," he smiles notes the look on !Ami's face, "You are welcome to use the Guest room if you need it Hope. .o0(Don't get her riled she looks upset that I'm saying all this... fight must have been difficult has her out of sorts... and upset.)0o. I'll get some blankets for our guests... can't have them parading around in their all together like that." !Ami letting her ardor color her speech (too bad it makes her sound angry),"Nothing I see wrong. You see something wrong?" "I just don't want to upset you if and when my eyes stray from your perfect form," he blushes and coughs. "You say the sweetest things..." seemingly astounded by her own words. Pretty Demon quips, "I think I'm far fairer but then I doubt your tastes are refined enough to notice," she flips a wing-tip in a pouty way. In a very noncommittal voice, Eldrick says, "You may well all be ravishing for demons, but my Ami is enough for me." D4:"I could REALLY grow to like this guy." D2:"Thought you didn't want him. I was gonna take your share of the fun." D1:"Knock it off. Phase 2 initiating." D5:"Phase 2... the sex?" D1:"No that's Phase 3." D5:"Oh yes... wearing down his resolve... phase 2... Sorry was admiring my reflection in his... armor?" D2:"That is a Valkyrie Flight Suit. Hardened Version. He must be expecting combat." D4:"Whatever... he's mine first I'll wager so stop wondering what he looks like under all that armor." D3:"Possessive aren't we. As you wish... take him first. I'll lead our sisters downstairs." "You'll lead them down stairs Hope? That's great. But I think we should all go." He walks to the stairs and begins descending. D3:"Oops... I spoke aloud..." D4:"He seems to have barely noticed. Must be the fact he hasn't turned on the ac in that suit of his. He's sweating all over the place in there." DX: *sigh* "You 2 must be tired... and did they sigh also?" vanity leads him to pause and check to see if they are ogling him. .o0(Oh my god... my sweat and the fact that this thing makes me look thin are working on them. But I'm not that good looking. Demonettes must get turned on really fast. Yeah that's all.)0o. Reaching the garage door he pushes the open button. A workbot passes blankets out to the prisoners. "All right in you go." Lead Demon crying, "Oh please release us... let us go. We didn't know it was wrong to screw in public." "In Public?!?" he gulps. Young Demon also crying, "Just getting a little action in the park. He wasn't using his soul for anything but crime." "His soul?!!" he backs into Hope. Pretty Demon adds, "Could a body this lithe be used for anything but sex I ask you. Honestly now." "Ami...?" !Ami replies, "You can answer I don't mind. Be as honest as you like. They probably won't see anything beside a jailerbot for the next 10000 years." !Hope adds, "If you are embarrassed I won't listen." "I um... ah... well I wouldn't know..." he stammers as they plead at him. MEANWHILE Lossoth fumes, "She can't mean it will mean nothing to her... HE IS EVERYTHING TO HER! SHE SHOULD DESCEND INTO DESPAIR IF HE DECIDES TO SCREW AROUND! *screaming into his point to point microphone* Get out of there the jig is up!" "Greetings Lossoth, you are right the jig IS up," intones Ami staff at the ready. "Prepare for annihilation Creature of Darkness! Thy end is upon you!" shouts Hope, a spell shimmering into existence around her, ready to cast. MEANWHILE... "What was that your watch said Ami?" "Oh this? It's the radio I had added to it. Will Smith," switching it off. "Ah." "Well? I've worked for centuries to get my body this attractive. I'd like an answer. Am I one of the most ravishing creatures you've ever laid ... eyes on? I can hold on to your compliment for an anodyne during my incarceration." The Pretty Demon arranges her blanket making sure to expose herself to him. "You are... very attractive. It is regrettable you are a criminal." "How is it regrettable?" asks the Young Demon, "You mean if Ami let you and my sister wasn't a criminal you'd be... be screwing her brains out?! How about me you like the young look? Hmm?! I haven't in 400 years." "!!! Um I didn't say that. Ami a little help here!" "What... they're already tied up. Should I hold them down for you too?" !Ami says holding up her hands and giggling. "Oh my such talk... I might just watch to see if anything happens," adds !Hope. "Oh you aren't helping." IN LOSSOTH'S THRONE ROOM... The throne is ruined by the misfire from Lossoth, "Oh my throne!" Hope snares the Olynim with the tip of her staff from his hands. Lossoth mouths, "Oh Shit." "Ami now!" Hope thrusts her spear in Ami's direction. Ami thrust her staff at the Olynim. Lossoth rushes forward and hits it attempting to pull it free... "Bad career move," Ami says wincing even as she does her part. Lossoth attempts to reabsorb the Olynim to get it away from them and right as he does their staves shrink in on him... Light and Darkness... absorbed by him... war within his body... finally the reaction is too much and in a shower of shimmering motes Lossoth is gone. "That's it?" asks Ami calling up a new staff and looking around for danger. "That's it for about a year... then he gets a new chance to cross the dimensions. Right now he couldn't even be brought across. You could say his passport is expired." "That do anything to your schedule?" asks Ami right before a large mirror like circular portal appears. Voice and face appear in the portal. "Very good work Hope. Now... before you fall over I'd like you to know you have the next time period off... oh what is that time period called... I'm no good with this Time thing Mortals use," ticking things off on unseen fingers, "Let's see seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years, decades, centuries, millennia, eons. Right so that makes your accumulated time off going by the Earth standard of 2 weeks a year minus the time you have taken off over the years... I'm no good at Mortal Mathematics either *mutters some more numbers and sighs* so just take 6 months off. 6 Months is half a year... yes that works out fine. 6 Months off and 6 months preparing for Lossoth's return. Hope... Hope?!?" Hope had passed out. "Deputy Ami, I assume you'll remember and fill her in?" "Yes, Inquisitor Darhm. I shall inform her when she wakes up," she says saluting. "Oh and see she gets some real clothing. Can't always wear her armor. It pops off when she loses consciousness. Poor thing doesn't even know." "Inq. Darhm?" looks away from the suddenly naked Hope. "Yes?" "What happens while she's vacationing?" "Oh the M.I.R.R.O.R system kicks in. We just got the last bug out. It works flawlessly. She may come back to find her job has zero backlog." "MIRROR?" "Mortal ItineRaRied Organic Robot. She wouldn't take one as a deputy because they were still buggy." "And now they are successful?" "Yes. She has worked alone for the last... 30 thousand years all over the universe. All alone. Now that she's Terran only -due to your species propensity to reproduce itself... and get into danger- she's actually had an increasing workload. 20k years ago we offered her a M.I.R.R.O.R. She refused. We've had 20k years to iron all the bugs out. A M.I.R.R.O.R. should be fine during her break." "Well if you need someone in a pinch... I'm available. I'd better get her back." "I'll make a portal. Where you wanna go?" "As close to Eldrick as possible." "Um... Okay. Be advised he's still dealing with the impostors." "Anything juicy happening?" "I'm not looking Deputy!" "Drat... just asking so I should know if I should knock first." "You must really love him." "Yes, he's mine I'm his... nothing else matters. Fighting evil is a perk," she giggles. ".o0(Oh no... she's after my job...)0o. Well I'll let you know if you are needed. Remarkable the love you share. Have no capacity for love personally." .o0(Sad that. hehehehe)0o. She steps through the portal, and into the Basement near Garage 2. "Could you please stop rubbing against my flight suit?" Eldrick demanded arms clutched onto each other... probably to control himself. "But if I don't you won't be aroused enough to do something foolish like have sex with me... or release me... not that I'm so sure I want to be released anymore," cooed Young Demon still rubbing... against the groin of his flight suit. "Naughty demonettes... first trying to make believe that you are me and Hope... Here Eld dear hold Hope for a minute..." "Oh heck she's nude! I'm in no mental state to hold a nude female!" All the demonettes sighed to themselves. "Not so fast girls. I want apologies... Now!" she was combat ready again. DX: "We're dead..." "But we... were just under orders and we really haven't done anything yet. I'll even take off my disguise," poof and it's gone just like !Ami said, "See gone." Ami simply moved the staff to aim at the false Hope... who didn't even notice, "Damn the report was all wrong! The measurements are all off! Slightly larger breasts... smaller waist... smaller hips... a bit taller... hair's wrong too!" she fumed looking here and there on Hope. She paused and smiled, "Well at least they got the part that counts right," she reached under her own fuku -Eldrick went apoplectic- and nodded, "Yep, they got THAT right," she gazed at Eldrick leaning closer to him. "Ahem... apology... waiting... staff pointed at you... ahem," coughed Ami. "Oh yes... Deputy Ami for myself and my sisters I apologize. Those were orders we should not have obeyed... nor should we have even listened. I trust you would not be back if Lossoth was still on the Mortal Plane? Congratulations. May victory always shine on you in battle," she bowed and the costume vanished - Eldrick averted his eyes at the speed of light. Young demon, "I'm sorry too..." Lead Demon, "Likewise." Pretty Demon, "I don't know about them but I'm sorry for all 3 things." "3?" asked Eldrick. "Of course... the deceit which was painfully obvious that had we not been without apparel it probably would have failed. 2 The attempt which... sadly seems to have failed... to seduce the man of your life. And 3 *the bonds dissolved* for not already having him in the sack," she fondly caressed the seat of his flight suit - he almost dropped Hope (a few of the sisters were outright jealous of her having done that). "Apologies accepted. I'll see to the guest room being outfit for your needs, until a safe dimension can be found for you far from having to work for Flaming Lard Bottom for room and board. Eldrick could you carry Hope up to our bedroom. She fainted from shock at being given 6 whole months off from work. That should take 30 minutes to wear off. Then that'll leave you an hour to prep the Valkyrie for your race with Cid Highwind. Which you allotted 2 hours for in your schedule. Then you'll come back have something to eat and then have to defend yourself from these vixens again," she paused for air. "Maybe you should change your name to Tenchi Masaki or Ranma Saotome," she finished, giggling. "But I only want you... you I understand... I don't know why all these girls are after me. I'm not that much to look at..." "Any more talk like that and I'll shove your face into Hope's crotch... that ought to wake both of you up. You think these girls went on about you in the last half hour you've known them... you should hear Hope. She must have an awfully large crush on you. You made her forget about being in love with Inquisitor Darhm." !Ami asks then, "Do you have any idea why we are so fixated on him?" she then adds, "He is just a mortal and all but by the powers of Heaven and Hell and the Federated Investigation Board I want him like a wino wants a beer." "Probably that he's a mortal, and he's within groping range, and that he's been wearing that suit all day when I told him not too and sweating like a gladiator. The air filtration system is gonna stink of his pheromones for a week. Ought to get pretty interesting around here. Harvey? Order extra video tape for the surveillance system. Can't miss a minute." In the distance the workbot bleeps and scuttles off. !Hope murmurs, "Someone here is a voyeur..." "Yep, and proud. Now Eldrick let's get her to our room and these ladies ensconced... unless you can't take it anymore and you have to have one -or more- of them now?" she smirked. Eldrick leapt towards the stairs, and was around the corner and on them before one of the demonettes could lay a finger on him. Much swearing in the demon tongue was heard soon after. "Eldrick give them a verbal tour as we ascend the stairs... it'll keep your mind off of them." "Yes ... Ahem. Basement... Garage 1 and 2 and Hangars A and B. It also houses the reactor and the garbage system. Devices here control the lack of physics in some parts of the house... ... First Floor... living room with ultra large screen TV -Extremely High Definition- couches yada yada the kitchen... front door... library... ... Second Floor... Practice area for weapon combat with practice dummies... a working forge... a combat simulator that is the latest in HVR... Third floor... "arcade" laundry skating rink class flooring around the outer wall of the room... Fourth Floor... living quarters... pool... deck... computer room... guest room and Ami and my... and I guess Hope's room until she recovers from the shock of being on vacation. "Oh be warned my Ego is so sure of itself it fractured off one day and has a life of it's own... punctuated usually by insults in my direction. Any questions?" "How long is the longest you've ever had sex?" "Is it big average or tiny... and can I call it anything name wise." "What kinda games you have in the arcade... and are any sexual requiring 2 or more people?" "Does the bathroom have a vanity and does the mirror make things larger than they appear." "Wanna screw in the pool?" "I meant about the house... hello?" "Those were questions about the house, Eldrick honey. They just also involved you. Ah here is the guest room." "Hear is right... someone is screwing in there," Young Demon noticed. "And it smells like Konei." Eldrick mouthed ,"Konei?" Ami answered, "Later." Eldrick nodded, and kneed the door open after knocking. "Who... yes... Is... Yes... it... YES!" Konei turned to look towards the gathering," Hi ... everybody... don't mind us... ohhh..." "Forgive me Sir for not ... saluting... but my hands are full. I fully acknowledge your ranks and am saddened that I can't salute Commander," shouts the nameless ex-guard. "Not a commander really. Just armor I picked out of a catalogue and randomly entered some gibberish when it asked for a security code. I have no Rank in the Macross Sector." "What's the name rank and serial number you put into the database to buy that then? *to Konei* Could we pick up later?" he asked. "Sure here's a towel to wear," as she puts one on her self. "*to Ami* You fashion mogul. *to Ex-Guard* J. Long 4618791 and I left the rank field blank," replied Eldrick holding the feigning sleep Hope. "The J Long... Jason F. Long?! Holder of the patent on the formula for Fuel 8791, and the MultiSystem? Lest I forget the 8791 chipset that powers the modern simulator!" he saluted. "You were awarded commander status when the chip proved it's usefulness for teaching pilot accuracy. And your MultiSystem is on every troop carrying vessel. Sometimes more than 10 per ship." "Ludicrous! I sold the patent to Comdyne 2 years ago." Ego enters... he could probably smell Eldrick getting complimented... "Actually Eldrick you need to try reading your email. The Electronic check bounced... but with you holding the patent Comdyne had to quickly powwow with their lawyers -a patent purchase check bouncing is on par with Treason since Chrictow BS'd Cold Fusion 10 years ago, nearly causing the collapse of the free world in the Macross sector- and came up with a writ that you told them they could produce things you patented -also in your email. The writ held up in court because of the fact that since you didn't shoot it down when the email arrived it passed by quiet agreement act number 4. You bank account has since become a black hole for the currency of the known dimensional steps... and it seems the known dimensional steps could care less how many times over you are a trillionaire." "THIS IS ALL SO CONFUSING! 6 million new people show up needing housing... I'm told I still hold patents for harebrained ideas I was trying to sell for a quick buck.... and now I find out the known dimensional steps consider me a household name... and some guy who used to be in the Macross sector wants to call me Commander...? "WHY IS NOTHING EVER SIMPLE!!" "Please stop shouting... I'm trying to fake like I'm asleep here. OOPS." "Shall I put you down Hope?" Eldrick said latching onto someone that wasn't confusing him -yet. "No... and I'm not putting on my clothes until I get a kiss from you," she blushed and failed at trying to retrieve that standard Hope calm. "Is there no stability that I can latch onto while my life goes into a spin cycle?" "No fat-head. Your lard-assed pathetic existence is too amusing to me and the Powers That Be for you to find any rudder save the one in your pants to hang onto. I'm going back to posting as you in Alt.hentai.Sailor-Moon. Stability he says! Hahahahahaha loser Hahahahahaha!" Ego is soon in the computer room. "Well that's to be expected... insults from Ego." Pretty Demon undulates, "If I ask to hold onto that rudder of yours that'll make things pretty... "stable" " "That suit is pretty well sealed Sis. Remember when I tried to lick through it?" Young Demon stares wistfully downward. "Ami let's put Hope to bed and then I'm going to prep the Valkyrie for the race. And unless Ryo-ohki shows up hunting for carrots... I'm not here!" With every wave of his hand carrots appear. "Hey can we...?" starts Lead Demon. "The Carrots are out of sight out of mind. I'm not even considering what you might have been saying next." "Eldrick! Naughty! They are eating them. They weren't thinking about... that. *I* should put Hope to bed and then prep the Valkyrie and toss you to those hungry Foxes in the other room," said as Ami closes the door blocking out carrot recipe swappage. Eldrick blushing lays Hope down on the bed. She refuses to be covered up though. "Sleep well Hope," he figures now he can get away with it without getting latched onto if he kisses her... yeah right. Finally Hope lets him pull further away, "So that's a kiss... Ami why didn't you tell me?" she releases the blushing hormonal Eldrick who is barely in control of himself now. "Well they are pretty much 'You had to be there' kind of things. Much like sex. Right Eldrick?" she grins purposefully taunting him when she knows he can't take it. "Going... to prep... Valkyrie... talk... sex... later..." he trembles out the door as Ami applies a soothing ointment to a developing bruise on her thigh. "Is he always so..." Hope grasps for words in her exhaustion. "Horny? Self-repressed? Lustful? *grinning* Controlled? Usually we just screw it out of each other wherever we are in the house and it's over with. Then there's the Demonette pheromones in the air... his in the air making them produce more... and him being the only being in the house who can't take the exponential increase in his ardor." "I suspect the Micronized Zentradi in the other room is alleviating that?" "Sadly no...while he is mortal and that has a strong appeal in it's own right... he's... pheromone less... and unaffected also... so he's little more than a flesh... carrot *giggling* to those women in there." "Oh what am I going to do around here to help out to pay for my stay?" "You know F.I.B rules on vacations... no activity that can be construed as work that isn't on the acceptable activities roster." "I know... so I can entertain myself, have sex with people, take walks, go on a pleasure cruise that has a minimum of a 3 to 1 crew to guest ratio, recreationally fly, did I mention have sex with people?" she laughs weakly. "Get some sleep. I gotta write up a menial task list or those girls will try to bed my Eldrick 24-7. And he's fragile," she giggles and leaves the room.&& .o0(I can have sex with people... maybe I should grab the Zentradi for practice... or one of the girls... By the Saints Hope... you'll screw anything. Of course I don't know if Eldrick is interested... horny yes... horny enough... probably... but truly interested? How could Ami watch me kiss him... she must really enjoy when he's happy... so much so she can ignore anything as long as he's happy. I hope Eldrick wants me when he gets back... maybe he'll take me in the Practice Area... he'll stab my practice area in the practice area... hehehehe. No Hope we are not going to masturbate in someone else's bed... we are not... oohhhhh too late...)0o. MEANWHILE... Eldrick has regained his self control in the hanger. He checked and rechecked every system in the Valkyrie took it outside and ran it through all the transformations. He even squeezed off a few rounds in the cannon. Finally he was satisfied... with 30 minutes till the Race. The Highwind was gonna suck his jet-wash today. "Cid is going down!" "On who?" giggled Ami behind him. Eldrick gives her the raspberry... only to see she's not alone. The whole ... fleet of people was there save Hope who was probably still exhausted. Eldrick noticed relieved that all the demonettes... save one were dressed. .o0(What would an anime guy do in a situation like this? Probably screw them all. Sick bastards that they are... not that I'm much better for thinking about it. Tenchi would somehow manage to keep them off him... Ranma... Ranma is just lucky he hasn't had the hell screwed out of him yet... Hope I'm as lucky as either of them.)0o. "Something up?" he asked guardedly. "Can't tell you are in that flight suit still." "I shall ignore that for my own sanity," Pretty Demon giggled at his reply to her. Eldrick shook his head .o0(I thought I was crazy and horny...)0o. "I'm showing the girls around the place. Bad News. Lossoth has his meat-hooks in ever nearby dimension. Konei nearly got... devoured by some predatory beast that Lossoth let loose on her. Since that means they are stuck here till Lossoth tries to come here again -maybe we can manage to destroy him next time- I've decided to set them up to tasks that utilize each of their specific abilities and skills. Astrala [Young Demon -Zin] can help with mechanical things like keeping the Valkyrie and the LAM running... as well as help Ardice [Lead Demon -Zin Again] with things like the cars -not that I drive mine much anyway. Gerard Clasto [The Ex-Guard... sad name huh? -Zin] can help you discovers the minute details that make a Valkyrie a Valkyrie and a Phoenix Hawk LAM a Phoenix Hawk LAM. He's also Assistant Head of Security under Konei who is head of security. Konei also does extermination work. She found where the roaches we've seen around are coming in." "Do you use chemicals or just stomp them?" Eldrick asked as if this was a job interview. "Honey... you don't want to know," Ami said emphatically clutching her stomach. "Anyway, Haris [!Ami (getting sick of me yet?) -Zin] is to help you maintain the computer database, and system maintenance. Marjherie de la Croix -call her Margo [Pretty Demon -The under appreciated Zin] is your fitness trainer and does the laundry." "Who would think that an nose and eye for beauty could help with laundry? I ask you," she chuckles making sure she jiggles. "Charhon, she who was masquerading as Hope, and is one of the politest people I've ever met, [Oh yeah the name is pronounced Saron -Zin He Who found a way into this line] she is going to do the landscaping, and the shopping. Hope is not allowed to do more than tie her shoes according to Federated Investigation Board. Sex IS on her allowed regimen, and she's so fixated on you that you'd better see to that. Or I'll tie you down and send her in." "You'll let me... with someone else?" Eldrick was shocked. "You'd let me as long as I came back to you wouldn't you?" Ami asked masking her apprehension that Hope might spend the six months just as frustrated as when she was on the job. .o0(Hate to have Headquarters ORDER him to take her... FIB has a lot of power... they would... *shiver* So he'd better just agree.)0o. "Of course I'd let you if you wanted to... but it's hard to think I'm allowed too." "As long as you don't run off into the stars with Hope I don't mind. Just remember I'm yours and you are mine and there should be no problems," she stopped waggling her finger, and giggled, "Be interesting to have someone else moaning around here for a change," she winked. "It's gonna take these girls some time to get used to the concentration of male pheromones in the building. And yes you can have anyone of them whenever you like... provided I or Hope don't ask first." "Other news. Gerard's soul belongs to Konei and he has to screw the debt out of her to get it back. Their relationship is based SOLELY on sex so don't be shocked if she asks for time on the man unit - Her words not mine," she giggles, and Konei whistles innocently," The only thing entering your schedule my love is 10am-12pm daily you head to the Practice floor for exercise. She is to inform you what you are to wear the night before. She is skilled in several martial arts styles, various weapons, and the entire Kama Sutra should she decide to work other muscles in your body... which she has my permission to request of you at that time, unless Hope asks, or I do myself." "Any questions?" Ami held the clipboard behind her. "I can't think of any... really. This is... so much to think about. I don't have quotas or anything?" "An hour per girl per month. 2 with Hope. You can even request of them, though I'll feel bad if it's when I asked for you. And you can't request them if Hope needs you at a given time. Any more questions? OOPS... times running short before take off... you need to eat. I'll make you something nice and fast. [Which I don't think will be one of the demonettes -Zin] [I'll shut up now -Zin, staring down the barrel of a 12 gauge] After a nice set of microwave burritos -which Eldrick got no end of harassment about- Eldrick is doing a final walk around the Valkyrie. He wondered again what set an LAM apart from a Valkyrie apart from a Veritech Fighter. He just didn't know... but today he was gonna knock the socks off of one of the pinnacles of Final Fantasy Sector Technology. Midgar to Wutai to Cosmo Canyon to Northern Crater and back to Midgar. One lap only. Judged by time alone. No style points to push one above the other... no speed limit. "Just one man one craft each. He's toast. Let's get this over with... hehehehe." Up the ladder and into the cockpit, once there he strapped himself in and powered over to the catapult. "Wish I'd thought I'd need a true runway when I had this place built. Wish I didn't have all those women outside ready to cheer on my blast off. Happiness is so complicated." He hit the afterburner and smiled as it hummed up to speed. He cycled the nozzles... turning up the thrust. The lights slowly lit up and... "Go Thyra! Go!" He was pushed into his seat by the takeoff force. The suit filled to compensate. He wondered if Cid would make him re-fly the course figuring he had cheated somehow. There were 3 hours allotted. He crossed into AGFF airspace... He got his clearance to continue, and proceeded through the barrier into Final Fantasy airspace. He changed the thrust intermix to pollution-less -he only had 4 hours of that stuff in plane form less in Gerwalk and much less in Battleoid mode. But it was better than standard fuel... and such a pain to have installed the second system that he'd damn well use it just as much as normal. Not like he needed to head into space anyway... or couldn't switch back if he had to. "Ah flight... wonderful up here watching the land peel away beneath you. hehehehe Glad I'm not closer or my heights fear would kick in. Funny up here I'm fine at 100 feet I'm clutching handrails like they'll save me and/or my heart is racing a mile a minute. We Humans are odd... and demons are really weird. Maybe if I take more showers they'll calm down... No that won't work I'll see them and *I* won't calm down... and then they'll start up again... which will lead to them bothering me... and it will bother them more... and on and on till something gives way." "Why my house!" /Whoa you got a house here? What happened to it/ came Cid over the radio, /Monsters are always getting their fucking hands all over everyone else's shit. I fucking swear! Did you know... monsters fucking ran off with my fucking Tiny Bronco? That's fucking nuts I tell ya!/ //Hi Cid. You ready?// /Yeah I'm fucking ready... boy your coming in loud and clear and I don't even see you yet... the radio you are using must be heavy./ //Different radio.// /Ah so your flying IN something today eh? I'll still knock the fucking pants off you no matter what the hell you are flying... by the way what ARE you flying? I'm not hearing engine noise over the radio./ //A Modified Macross Sector Valkyrie. Why do you ask? .o0(The Highwind is dust... I win already. HAHAHA!)0o.// /Cherry Machine that... I read up on anything I thought you might bring over for the race. Needless to say I'm not taking the Highwind. Saw in a newspaper from Macross sector mentioning the only person outside of the sector able to buy in the sector finally buying something. Of course it said what you bought, and then I went about building something that can compete with it. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised. *Cid laughed*/ .o0(Damn... well at least it will be even footing... and the pollution-less fuel adds a few mph to the airspeed I can do... This race will be fun!)0o. //Cool with me. I'll still have a chance of winning... not like the remote one before. I really needed to have accounted for the Highwind's wash last time...// /You bring anything along to record this with?/ //Teleporting lens camera.// /What the fuck is that?/ //The camera sits on the ground recording what the lens that can teleport around to track things sees. Found it in "Spying On Your Loved Ones Monthly". I swear by that magazine for my home security. The camera is sold as a marital aid if you get my meaning. The cheating husband can't get away from the lens. Ingenious. Wish I'd invented it... not that I need more money...// /Ah nice piece of equipment. The Landing strip is on the East side of Midgar. Watch out for birds./ //Got it... Hey that silver beast is yours nice. Landing beacon locked. Beginning landing.// With the signal from the landing beacon locked the craft just follows it down. Eldrick then taxis it into the "rest" away since there is no formal hanger... hell even the air strip isn't formal... floating above the ground as it is. "Hey there Cid! Hey what's holding this strip off the ground? It isn't Mako powered in any way is it?" "After all that shit that happened 2 years ago? I should fucking hope you don't think I'm that kind of idiot!?" "Sorry, I just figured it might because that might have been easiest to acquire." "Don't beat yourself up over it. Sure a Mako strip would have been easy to snag... but it would take so much more to maintain ... especially if either of us crashes here. Naw this here strip is steam powered. Take note of the grass swaying away from it. This thing's like a hovercraft without a skirt. Almost no environmental impact. Designed it myself. Would have had it ready a while back but there was a design fault I couldn't find." "Rockin'! So everything set?" I rubbed my hands in anticipation. "Yep, got everything handled hours ago. All we gotta fucking do is race ;)" Cid lit one up, "Yep that's all that's left. *louder and to our west* Hey Shera! We're ready over here. You ready to drop the flag?" "On my way now," she answered as she finished fueling the Silvered thing Cid was flying. "The Swiftwind is ready for takeoff," she smiled and bowed, "Hello again Eldrick. How are you and Ami doing?" "Oh swimmingly, just... we recently acquired a lot of guests. It's odd having some many people in the house," I responded as I tested my visor. "Sounds like the mess that was called The Avalanche Reunion. Everybody came over to my house and stank the place up. Beer everywhere. I think it still smells where Reeve lost control of his stomach." Shera grinned, "In other words he enjoyed every minute of it. I hope the guests work their way into your heart to where it doesn't seem so odd having them around," she tightened her belt once, "Good luck to the pair of you I'll be monitoring from here. I have sensors set up on each of the "cones" to take time and speed readings. Again good luck," she bowed to both of us and picked up the flags. She then moved to the median between the 2 strips as the platform shifted to aim towards Wutai. We shook hands and then ran to our craft. We both ran mandatory pre-flight checks and then nodded to each other and then to Shera, who raised the flag above her head. Afterburners lit and cycled to idle, pilots leaned back in their chairs... And then she waved and dropped the flag! Zooming down the runway Eldrick paused to check to see where Cid was... his craft was already off the tarmac... probably because it accelerates faster, but then Thyra rose into the air aiming straight for the race altitude. Thyra and Swiftwind jockeyed for position even while the sound barrier passed over them like thick wool. Of course these daggers cut through that wool with ease. Up they soared trying to go further faster than the other, leveling off at race altitude like it was an afterthought. Wutai was ahead and then it was gone as they turned to the next target, jockeying for position again as each craft bore the turn differently in the prevailing Westward wind. /You've tweaked that I see./ //Nice craft you have there too.// And then back to listening to the music they had blaring in their cockpits. The hairpin turn for Northern Crater was upon them. Pilots fought gravitational forces rather than ease the turn trying to prove who's craft was faster.... Who could tweak an engine and frame better. Manufactured and heavily modified fought with the home built speed machine. Straightening up they found themselves neck and neck. Engine as full burn did nothing. They were speed matched. Pilots implored their craft for more speed... but there was no more. Then the blip appeared on sensors. //You picking that up over there?// /Picking what up... this is seat of my pants over here. I couldn't afford the added weight. No sensors on this bird. How big is the blip, and how far below?/ //18 miles ahead 2000 feet below, and rising... wait new data from the positioner... it's rising out of the area where Bone Village is.// /It's not in the flight path up but it is right in the way for the Midgar leg unless I miss my guess. Any clue over there what the fuck this thing is? Nothing else is supposed to be in the sky according to Central! By damn Jenova what the fuck is screwing with my fucking carefully planned race?!?/ //You may be onto something... this things high on the power scale. Don't think it's some missing bit of Jenova though... and all the Weapons are accounted for.// And then they passed it... at the speed they were moving they couldn't make out much but it was large and black with gold streaks, and 2 big pasty white cannons... that were tracking! But they zoomed out of range. //Black and gold screams of Lossoth. He's always using those colors... and that pasty white might really be some shade of marble. Damnit! I was really hoping to never mess with his handiwork again! [Ami Tales 5 -Zin, who asked permission to say that one] Why the hell isn't this thing trying to knock down my door right now? How'd it know we'd be here in the 7th Preserve of Final Fantasy Sector?// /Well I didn't put any ads into the paper about the race, just so that if say my engine blew I wouldn't crash into some spectator who just thought it was part of the show./ //Got any weapons on Swiftwind?// /I didn't think I'd need any. Aw fuck! Why today! I'm in the Highwind on patrol tomorrow!/ //Can you get it on the radio? I'm gonna call home and see if my new guest Gerard is cleared to fly my Phoenix Hawk LAM. We're gonna need firepower. You always need it when Lossoth does something.// /Sick huh? And the little shit isn't even a head demon. Where does he get all the power for this shit? Aw crap turn's over... were zooming right back at it./ //Go low I'm heading straight for it. Get the Highwind here!// /Don't gotta say it twice!/ \Who's at the con? \ \\You got me Eldrick. What's up? \\ smiled Konei on the viewer. \Gerard available? \ \\Um sure... just a sec... \\ \\\Yes Commander? \\\ \Get Jean over here NOW! I need another set of cannons. Lossoth pulled some shit over here, and just Thyra won't be enough. \ \\\Orders received! Jean and I are on our way. I am cleared with a Class A in LAM. I won't let you down. \\\ \May the wind speed you on your way, Gerard. \ \\Eldrick! What's happened? Gerard just whipped passed me down the stairs, \\ called Ami. \Lossoth was working on something out here in the Final Fantasy Sector. I guess without him to rein it in it's attacking any aircraft that pass by. Lovely timing eh? \ \\I'm sickeningly glad your race was today then Eldrick. Hate to think some tour hovervan...\\ \I know honey I know. It's ass is grass and I'm a slash and burn farmer. \ /Highwind's on the way... I'm diving./ //Right!// \\I heard good luck! Switching off. \\ Cid dove to cut under the beast of evil. And it lunged downward! It was going after the unarmed craft. //Cid watch it!// "Damn his radios being blocked by that thing." \\Eldrick, Ardice here. I remember over hearing about this thing from Lossoth's pillow talk. It's called Threatanes of all names and it has NO weaknesses at all. It doesn't have any defenses either so you should be able to just pummel it like all hell and it will turn tail and run or self-destruct. Be careful. \\ \Thanks Ardice. Eldrick out. \ And he almost was as he dove willing his craft forward... forcing the wind over the wings to almost beyond stall. He had to get there or Cid's craft would be swatted out of the sky by that monster of a thing. Switching to Battleoid mode when he was in the way of Threatanes he opened up with a full auto burst into it's greedily open mouth. Cid was in the clear... And more than halfway to the runway. The Giant ball of fur was still recoiling from the blast that had knocked teeth out of alignment. Suddenly it lunged forward and Eldrick dove for the mountains... MEANWHILE on the Highwind Navigator: Any clues why our sweep yesterday didn't show that thing? Commander: Word is it was masked somehow, and it's controller is dead. Navigator: Good thing that early morning tour tomorrow didn't find it first... Passing into our Patrol Area... 3 blips detected... Swiftwind... LARGE unidentified object... and a smaller unidentified object. /Great Blazes what kept you? Nevermind. Get the fuck over there and help him. Do NOT shoot the smaller blip./ Commander: Yes Captain. Well you heard him this ain't no stinkin' drill! Prep hatches 3 and 4 for secondary drops and 1 and 2 for immediate bombardment. Let's make this fucking count gentlemen or the Captain's gonna have our asses for chum! Communications: *quietly* Wow... you can see who someone admires a bit too much. ON THE AIRSTRIP "Damnit! There has to be something I can fucking do to help! Shera?! We got any weapons nearby?!" fumed Cid as he watched Thyra leap out of a valley as 2 medium quasar blue bolts ripped from Threatanes' barrels and streaked where Thyra had been. He put the powered binoculars down, and turned to Shera. "There are the twin rocket launchers you installed on the Tiny Bronco, but they'd barely dent that thing out there." "And there's nothing on the airstrip itself?" "No Cid, there isn't." "Okay then... I have an idea... you fuel up the Swiftwind." "You aren't going back out there are you?" "Just do it... please?" "I'll get right on it Cid." "That's my girl!" Cid hollers back as he takes the elevator back to the ground below. He races over to the Tiny Bronco and starts pulling shells out of the rocket launcher. ONBOARD JEAN ///Of course it is an emergency. It'll flag as Intra-dimensional Holocaust event number 87239. Key the number in and get out of my hair will you! The Final Fantasy Preserve is going to be little more than ash if you don't let me through!/// barks Gerard on the radio to the Border Guard -I'm sorry Lt. but regulations clearly state limits on pollution and clearance. You're clearance is nonexistent and your craft is 2 points above the emissions standard. Please return to your Dimension of origin whether on this plane or another. Have a nice day.- |||Commander!

The flight recorder's auto-shield intact and activated sending out it's happy little distress signal. The border registers an unauthorized blip crossing it soon after. AT THE BATTLE Tactical: We only have 3 more drops worth left... and that thing's just shrugging them off. Commander: No it isn't, but the weaponry shortage is acknowledged. Load bays 1,2 and 3. We're gonna do one massive drop. In truth the beast was shrugging it off... but then again it also wasn't on another level. It was becoming uglier as it fights them and a lack of cohesion on a molecular level. BACK AT THE AIRSTRIP "My calculations indicate it is 1 minute away at the fastest speed the Swiftwind can handle." "Fucking beautiful, Shera thanks. Help me set these timers on these shells." "Acknowledged." AT THE BATTLE =Eldrick Tobin, you have given someone orders to destroy Border Guard 2nd Class Omlusk. Please state reasons. = //I don't have time to baby you!

Gotta use it right... which means using my last round in this clip to detonate it in it's mouth or something. Looks like the Highwind is outta bombs... sad that. YES!

Transformation sequence initiated. Jumpjets running smoothly.||| //Cid why are you on a collision course with the creature!!// /I'm not in there Eldrick. Try to get that fucking thing to open wide. The Swiftwind has a pleasant surprise for it./ //Will do.// @Attention due to the explicit carnage that was visited upon Threatanes and incase any in the audience are constructs and offended by such acts I shall summarize the fight: Ahem. Distracting poor Threatanes, Eldrick fired his last shot into it's... backside, then, as Threatanes turned growling, tossed his remaining clip in right as the Swiftwind entered Threatanes' mouth. The LAM and the Highwind unloaded their weaponry at Threatanes at the exact same instant that the shells and fuel in the Swiftwind went off. Threatanes scared sadly beyond all thought self-destructed himself. Funeral Services may be attended by those with true Mortal Plane passports. A card is being sent to Lossoth, if any wish to sign it, it is in the lobby. Hopefully such a travesty for the rights of constructed beings shall never need repeating. @ %This announcement paid for by the Created League "Just because you got an old computer some steel and a welding torch doesn't mean I'm not alive!" % "What a day," Eldrick exhaled as he took off his helmet. "I must agree commander. A very... interesting day indeed," responded Gerard, jumping -still wearing the towel- out of the LAM. "There's probably some coded military rule that forces you to call me commander even if I ask you not to isn't there?" "I'm afraid so Commander." "I'm going for a shower. Run interference for me will you?" "Pardon, Commander?" "Keep the demon girls off of me while I sneak past." "Hand me your helmet, Commander. Then we'll have them searching for undomesticated water fowl." "Good idea here. You takes the elevator, I'll take the stairs." Utilizing only enough force to hold his feet off of the stairs Eldrick ran up the stairs silent as a summer gust. He paused at the base of every floor and sent ribbons of air over his skin and downward to the basement so as to not leave a trail. .o0(Who would have thought the same guy who once thought of buying spray on pheromones... would one day be trying to block his natural ones one day. Something somewhere must love laughing at people...)0o. And then he was in his room... "Hi Eldrick..." started Hope. "Shh... they don't know I circumvented them just yet." "I heard them tromping off to the elevator. What are you going to do with your newfound "freedom"?" she lowered her voice and asked. "I'm going to quietly and quickly take a shower. Glad I sound proofed the house. *he checked to make sure the door was closed* There," he said as he started peeling out of his hardened -and sweaty- flight suit. "Shall I avert my eyes," she said coyly. "Hope, you may look or not look. I would not think to stop you. Only reason I snuck up is just so I could shower without a dozen demonettes wanting to join me.... and I don't feel like a swim right this second -which of course would help alleviate such a strain on me and the shower, so my only option was to sneak." Hope simply nods... a blush suffusing her face at the site of him. He -naked as a jay bird without it's feathers- locked the suit in the UV cabinet it had come in, and crinkling his toes once in the thick carpet moved off to the bathroom via the master bedroom's entrance -not that either bedroom is really all that much larger than the other. "Hope... I... I'm available after the shower... if you... um... feels so odd..." "I know, and I might take you up on that. Oh by the way you could stand to lose a few you know." "Ah but if everyone looked like a god how could one enjoy perfection... or imperfection? My body is this way because it wants to. Every time I've tried to do anything about it... it backfired. So... well Gerard is probably on the floor already. Time to lather up." Hope giggled. She could see why Ami liked him -or at least could understand if not fully comprehend the level of the love those 2 shared. .o0(She's willing to share because to her he is everything in the universe, and even if every woman had him... she'd still have the motherload of his affection. He must feel the same. I wonder if I'm on Ami's roster anywhere... Maybe she signed me up for a work out or something. Can't get out of shape myself. 6 months... And I wonder if Ami or Eldrick will be sleeping on a cot or something to accommodate me. I hope not... but they don't have a second Guest room. The demonettes at least have it lucky in that they sleep hanging from the ceiling... or a large cluster that'd fit on that bed in there. 6 months... I hope this doesn't put them out in anyway... hehehehe I said put out)0o. She smiled to herself as Astrala came back in. "It was just Gerard carrying Eldrick's helmet. I'll just put it in the cabinet... Gerard said Eldrick has to do major repairs after the fight. My sisters and myself hope Thyra is alright. *she opened the cabinet, and gasped softly* He's been in here?" she mouthed the question to Hope. Hope nodded and pointed smiling. "You don't mind if I ... join him do you? I mean you didn't have designs on him or anything," she bit her thumb pensively. "Just don't tire him out now. He's had a busy day. Heart had a work out and then he had Valkyrie combat. Probably not a whole lot left in him." "Then I won't do alot then... You are sure it's alright?" "Have the time of your life." "Thank you Lady Hope," she said bowing. "And here I thought you were the childish airheaded one of the group," Hope giggled. "Hey!" she gave Hope the raspberry who just giggled back... then Astrala giggled... shed her new dress and was in the bathroom door. BY THE POOL "Gerard you really shouldn't have brought his helmet up... he sweat all over it... got us all hot and bothered again. That just wasn't nice," Haris chided from her lounge chair. "To think I almost jumped YOU. Zentradi," she shivered. "I suppose we aren't the best sex in the universe. But we do give it the warrior's try." Konei giggled,"He's got a big one so I don't care what species he is. Anyone seen how big Eldrick is yet?" "I couldn't concentrate on my spell well enough to look earlier. Overwhelmed by his scent I imagine," sighs Charhon wistfully. Ardice frowns,"Nope only ones who'd know are Ami, Hope might know... and Astrala might have a clue... the effort she put into his flight suit. Where is she anyway." "Still helping with Hope last I saw," says Margo floating in the pool on her wings. "Good she's being useful," Haris nods and dives into the water. IN THE BATHROOM .o0(Boy did I need this shower.)0o. "Ah..." "Nothing indecent going on in there is there?" asks Astrala eye to the clear glass. Eldrick sighs... too strung out to blush or worry that he's being ogled. "Something I can help you with Astrala?" "I was wondering if I could join you... I can tell you if the scent has gone down and give you someone to fondle if need be... Ami's at the boutique in the next dimension shopping for everyone. My sisters aren't really being supportive of my needs either. And... *Eldrick opens the door* I want that right there really badly," she pointed. "I'm tempted to let you have your way with me... exhaustion is catching up with me... I can do little more than stand... but there's also not enough room and the water feels so good so I'm not stepping out of here for a while." "Then let me just kneel down then and..." "I'm not sure if I can take the strain. Notice how I'm not trying to get away or anything?" "I know... but it's been so long... sure probably not as long as Hope but 400 years ago was the last time I so much as had a cucumber to "play" with. Please?" she begged honestly," I won't bother you for sex for a whole week if you let me..." "Astrala..." he said warmly. "Alright then a whole month... there I won't ask for a whole month. Just please let mumph" she was silenced with a kiss. He pulled lightly away. "You may... and thank you. It will probably help me keep my sanity when I leave here." She simply sighed and kissed his chest before kissing her way down. She either didn't have any clue about what she was doing or it was the only way she knew how but unlike females in naughty pictures she didn't push it in and out... she just kissed it and sucked at it. It was so soothing and the light smell of rosemary about her that he released long before he normally would have and she didn't complain or keep at it longer than was necessary. She simply smiled when she was done kissed it and licked the tip once then leaned up and kissed him on the cheek while he ran his hands over her to wash any soap off that had splashed onto her. She blushed at the touch and then smiling again left the shower and then the bathroom. IN THE HALLWAY Haris is looking down the steps,"Is he okay down there? He's taking an awfully long time for minor repairs... and I don't smell him at work below." Astrala enters the hallway just holding her dress leaving damp footprints, a warm glow about her as she sighs. "What's up with you?" "Oh nothing. Had a bit of a shower. Very refreshing." "With that glow about you, you must have mounted the nozzle." "Well I sucked it actually... it was wonderful," she blushed and sighed. "My twisted little sister... so horny she sucked off the faucet in the shower." "Oh you just don't understand... I'm going for a lay down. See you in the morning." "Yeah whatever. What is keeping Eldrick?!" "He's probably giving what little of his all there is left to Hope. *to the pool area* Night everyone." "You mean you sucked HIS faucet?" "*yawning* Yep..." "Damn and you say he's Hope's now too... Damn," she vanished and dropped into the pool to cool off. MEANWHILE... .o0(All my energy is gone... normally even that would have put more into me than is removed... but too much stress today... way too much.)0o. He walked into his bedroom, and shambled towards the bed. "Hey Hope. How goes?" "Feeling stronger. How about you?" "I think I'm gone for the day. Don't mind if I lay down with you do you?" "That was the plan... but no sex okay... neither of us are up to it." "Roger. Over and out." He laid down under the covers that Hope held open for him and giving her a big kiss for his condition... and licking each of her nipples for seemingly no apparent reason, he feel asleep in her arms nestled against her chest. Slightly shocked Hope stroked his hair and kissed his forehead. Ami entered the room a few minutes later carrying packages. The workbot was heard beeping off towards the guest room. She was beat from shopping. She'd gone to do that to get her mind off of Eldrick's fight. Now there was nothing left. She slipped the straps holding her dress on, and climbed in on Eldrick's other side. He stirred. "Hey Ami." "Hey Eld." "You going to sleep too?" "Can do naught else." He rolled over," Night then," he kissed her then licked her nipples which got a quirked eyebrow directed at Hope. Hope answered it," Astrala had some fun with him. Besides that I don't know where the licks came from... he did the same to me." "Oh just seeing your reaction. *yawn* He sometimes does it. It's affectionate is all I know *yawn* You want him back? You 2 looked so cute when I came in. *deep yawn* No you better take him. You need to get used to a man in the bed with you," she pushes him back Hope's way, and he nuzzles up again. "He's gonna slobber on me all night?" "Pro bab ly..." and Ami was out arms wrapped around Eldrick middle. "Good," she moved a breast closer. .o0(What am I going to do in this house full of women?)0o. was Eldrick's last thought which sent him into dreamtime... coloring the dreams therein of course. The End for now... <> =0==0==0==0==0==0==0==0==0==0= =0==0==0==0==0= -+--+--+--+- Section 2: In the Company of Hope -+--+--+--+- =0==0==0==0==0==0==0==0==0==0= In the Company of Hope (The ongoing adventures of Ami and Eldrick and Hope) Title by: Omatu Story by: Eldrick I could barely get AIM closed in time... Ami was all over me. And I didn't mind one bit. She peeled my robe back over my shoulders and kissed and licked my chest on her way lower. I grit my teeth to hold back a shout as she licked the head of my stave. She grinned. "Almost a month with 6 demonettes and he can still feel anything? hehehe good!" I tried to say something in my defense when she kissed me and slid down the ol barber pole. It felt so right. Me and Ami... entangled in the acts of love. Not like it would be with the other he imagined. He knew Hope was being... nice to him and running interference between him and the demonettes. Maybe for all her initial eagerness she didn't want to anymore... or be tempted by all the moaning and groaning. Which he was holding in. Barely. And speaking of Hope she just walked in. "Eldrick I was wondering if you could set it up so I could check my... *her eyes bulged with lust* email." "I'll get on it when I have a minute... .o0(Gods above I must look like the horniest thing alive)0o. "Oh ... good ... I ... be ... by ... the ... pool," she almost panted as Ami obliviously continued. Hope was mesmerized up down forward up down forward up. She licked her lips watching our bodies meet and separate. She touched her bathing suit about to massage herself, "Oh right the pool. See you 2 later." "She wants you... it's plain in her voice," said Ami opening her eyes. "Go to... her!" she climaxed trembling... and slid off then down wrapping her tongue around me. She tongue played with me until I -who had been distracted by Hope- reached my pinnacle. I noticed she didn't swallow it oddly enough. She winked, and pulled me up by the arm. "Hope's turn," she cooed leading blushing me to the pool. MEANWHILE Hope put the towel down after her dip in the water to cool off. Haris looked over, "They're at it huh? Can't take watching?" Hope blushed,"No not really. I'm pretty much not used to it at all." "Do they know yet?" Ardice asked floating on her wings in her one piece. "Know what?" asked Hope eyes wide. "That you were with them of course. You mean you haven't told them?" Astrala gaped. "You really should tell them. Might make him loosen up for you. And then you can have that time of your life again," Margo blurted. "I'm shocked they never noticed they were missing the rest of that day. Lossoth laughed when you blanked their memory," Charhon tsked. "I don't think I could... the memory is enough." Konei stood up from admiring Gerard swimming like a cat watching a mouse, and said angrily,"What good is the greatest memory in the world if you have no one to share it with? If you'd shared it Lossoth would never have been able to use it against you. Something I thought that dirty old man should have stopped," she harumphed," The six of us were so boring he had to go pick on you and Ami. Dirty old man." Hope was shocked,"Ami got that too?" "No... not the images you are hiding away... but Ami was attacked too." "But Ami fought back by enjoying it... which frustrated the old fart cause he really couldn't get it up enough anymore to do anything with it," finished Ardice climbing out of the water and shaking the water off of her wings in a few bats. "I'd wondered why I didn't get my blessing that day." Haris tossed an inflatable veritech fighter at Konei," That day? It wasn't that long ago, you Nitwit." "Pardon me for being a scatterbrain at times... you weren't raised for 100 years thinking you were a cat... albeit with wings." Astrala heard the drowned out climactic moan but kept her mouth shut by giggling. It was taken as a stab at Konei who raspberried Astrala, grabbed Gerard and plunged into the pool kissing him. Hope turning and asking if they would be alright made her not notice Ami sneak up and kneel beside her lounge chair. "Oh hi Ami mmphm... mmm..." Ami kissed her unloading her cargo into Hope's suddenly all to eager for it mouth. When the kiss ended, Ami smiled at Hope who looked ready to attack her,"No not me... him. It's your turn." I'd walked up on her other side, and then lifted her off the chair in my arms. "I know we've put this off... but I can continue to put it off if you really aren't interested anymore." All the blushing girl did was unzip the front of her swimsuit... all the way down. I licked a drop of water off a hardening nipple, and she cooed. "To the room you two. You're interrupting my lounging," giggles Ami now occupying Hope's lounge chair. "Yes... take me... to the bedroom." "Yes," the lust within responded. Deep within part of me blushed at the second time I was carrying Hope naked in my arms. The rest was dying to know what she felt like beneath me. How she sounded when she climaxed. Every nuance of her. The Conqueror had awakened. I was suddenly reminded of a panel from Super Taboo. A ship with Self Control on it got sunk by a torpedo with Instinct written on it. Of course I wasn't that out of control. I could stop if she so much as whispered it. Thought from the hungry look in her eyes, as she palmed me, when I opened the door to the master bedroom, I wasn't getting any cries of stop. Putting her over my shoulder, which caused her to squeal giddily I pulled my robe off the rest of the way, and tossed it down on the bed. She was suddenly too embarrassed to move... staring into my crotch then my face, and back again, so I peeled her gently out of the swim suit. Tossing it towards the bathroom door, she leaned back. "Whenever you need me to... tell me to stop," I said soothingly. "Okay..." .o0(That would be easier said than done. And speaking of done... there it is...)0o. I slid into her waiting warmth like a tanker into a canal. She latched her arms around me, as she screamed in ecstasy, digging her fingers in as I continued. She wailed like an ambulance, tears streaming from her eyes. "Stop?" "No! Never! Never stop!" I blinked at the volume .o0(She seemed so quiet...)0o. but didn't relent. The conqueror was in the corner crying cause he thought she'd yelled at him. And finally way too early for someone even if they'd been masturbating for hours, she climaxed loud and hard. I tried to pull away to let her get over it... until the tears stopped at least. "Hold me... don't let me go." And so letting it slip out I held onto her wrapped as she was about me. "You... didn't... did you?" She looked into my eyes. I shook my head. "Then come on... let's try again... in a different room though. I want you to take me like you did Ami in the computer room." All I could do was nod, as she rubbed her nipples on my chest. I stood up and she just hung on to my torso... still shaking too much to walk. I sat down in the computer room chair not seeing Astrala had been sitting by the door listening to us in the bedroom... and was now watching as I started again in the computer room. Though this time Hope slipped out of my arms and onto the floor -obviously we'd not noticed her for a while considering what she did next. She stroked me lightly and pushing it aside she wrapped her tongue around my scrotum sucking lightly on the flesh .o0(Thank you Margo for teaching me that)0o. she thought before dragging her tongue up to the tip and then swallowing whole. A steady rhythm ensued which caught my attention .o0(I thought she hadn't at all before today? And now she's doing this like she knows every inch of me... and better than I do. Perhaps she's been talking to Margo or something. Not even Ami does what she did.)0o. Hope's directing hands told me to lay back along the chair as she sat on my chest not having stopped for a second. I grabbed her legs and slid my tongue inside her. I could tell she'd had to stop herself from biting down. I'm not sure who came first as I felt my own release and hers on different levels -maybe that infantile idiot the conqueror beating them damn war drums was distracting me. But be that as it may I licked every bit of juice off of her, as I knew she was trying to make sure I never had the fluids to come again. I licked lightly enraptured as she continued to suck... harder and harder... when it finally became painful I swatted her on the behind and she cooed and looked back. "No more Hope." "A new room then?" .o0(Will he go for it a second time?)0o. "Insatiable aren't we?" "I have a... fantasy about the practice room... and you poking me where you shouldn't," she patted her backside. "You sure?" "By all of creation." "You're walking down the stairs though." "Okay, and we'll take the elevator back up," she grabbed my arm and leaned against me even as she directed me into the crowded hallway that we didn't notice. When we got there... Ami was there with a bemused smile and swatted us both on the backside as we entered the roped off area of the practice area. I was about to call for a lubricant, when Hope kneeled and shook her head. I obeyed. I slid right in. I was shocked. Was she practicing with her staff or something? Had she been with Gerard. Had she taken me in my sleep... and the memory returned. [ "Oh Eldrick I'm so sorry my staff didn't recall fast enough... your poor rib." "I'll manage, but I don't think you had to strip me." "I wanted to see a naked man once in my life." "Um ah Hope... there are better looking men," I remembered blushing like a fool. "Hope are you alright?" asked Ami noticing Hope was staring like she did when she 'heard' of trouble. "I'll be just fine I'm taking my vacation with you both right now. I'm just informing Headquarters." "Are you sure about this?" Eldrick asked... a bandage around his ribcage. "I've never been so sure about anything. I want both of you on so many levels, that I can think of NOTHING else lately." And before they could protest she was unclothed and staring into his crotch. So long since she'd had one -as in never- that she swallowed it whole. And taking direction on what to do to make him squirm from Ami, he did just that... and messily came on her face when she looked at his face to ask what was causing him so much pain. Ami'd licked it off her face and then more sex had quickly ensued between the three of them. .o0(Later I'd disentangled myself from the tangle of pleased women's arms... to find Hope wide awake... she mentioned that she'd tuck me in and be on her way... but when she saw me rise to the occasion at seeing her chest lightly bounce when she'd patted her hand on the bed... she'd said she suddenly changed her mind and wanted to know what something else sexual was. She led me to the practice room so as to not wake Ami. She'd pulled a practice horse for holding boards flat out of the alcove and bracing herself asked me to take her from behind.)0o. "What... agh... was... oh ohhhh... was that... ahhhh Eldrick? Behind?" "You have such a nice tender behind," he lied. "You say... ohhh soon NOW... the nicest... things... ah ah OH!" She came and wet the floor causing me to slip out as I tried to regain my footing... shooting all over her backside. Someone steadied me from behind... as Astrala having tripped some of her sisters flew forward and sucked and licked me clean. Haris huffed over and grabbing Astrala by the ear pulled her away," You little thief what happened to the agreement? I was next remember?" "But I was only cleaning up... not like I was gonna stay there. Now if you'll excuse me I'm going to go brush. Um Eldrick when you've finished with all my sisters... can we have at it again." The inner lech answered to the affirmative before I could do anything. Astrala sighed that young girl satisfied sigh again and hopped up the stairs giggling. "I knew she'd enjoyed that too much," barely audible," So Eldrick feel up to a little something?" "Can I get an hour's sleep first?" "You're one of those come and sleep guys eh?" she chuckled. "No... But let's see I was with Ami... and then Hope 3 times in a row... so I think I... like Hope is doing... should sleep." Hope had a grin on her face even the Joker's Smile X gas couldn't add more to. Margo picked Hope up, just as a strong perfume wafted into the room. ''And you are taking my adorable sister where?'' she looked like Hope... could have been related... but where Hope was average, and Ami was above average... this woman was massive. A something like 46DD chest was barely being held up by a triangle top bikini... the 28 inch waist smoothly lead out to a 36 inch waist holding up a g string bikini bottom. Slowly becoming more exhausted me said tactlessly,"Help her sit down before she falls over." ''I despair that you don't know me, Eldrick darling. We had such fun times: "Cool I got an A" you'd cheer and then on the next report card, "*yawn* C's... and your point?" Oh such laughs. And what was that about my chest being too big?!!!'' She glared. Ardice stood up after laying me down. I was fast asleep. "Lady Joy incarnation of Despair?" ''Oh someone did their homework. And speaking of working at home... what are all of you doing here? If Lossoth hadn't... slipped into a little Despair... he'd still be oh so juicily horny.'' she cackled. "We had a falling out. He didn't want us anymore so we found someone who did," Charhon hissed. ''You mean soulless boy here? Hmmm... who does have that anyway? One of you?'' Ami answered,"It's in the real world where he really is. What do you want here?" ''Only came to check on my sister. Wanted to make sure she finally got some... without blanking the man's memory. Or with blanking. Can't be a virgin for eternity. Heard a rumor she'd gotten some... couldn't believe it.'' "She's fine so go." ''In due time. Maybe I want some action too? Eh? Can he handle someone not on vacation?'' There was a poof behind Joy,"Joy... begone... they don't need your meddling." ''Why Urd... keeping an eye on me? Am I messing with the power cosmic or whatever it's called?'' "I'll not ask again." ''Alright.'' the perfume was the only thing left behind. "So much love in this room... and the head lover down for the count. Let me fix that," Ami was in her way arms spread in warding, "Now Ami I'm not banished anymore...[I'd like to know how that happened -Zin] so my powers work. And besides... it's just a little Vita Soy. Nothing more. And don't worry I won't give him too much." Ami's worried hand came up and fell back relieved when I shot bolt upright and looked about,"Wow. Vita Soy? Whoa... glad I don't have that patent. Where'd the crazy woman go with the huge chest?" Urd leaned closer giving him an eyeful,"You mean me?" "Um ah... greetings... Goddess Urd... pleasant surprise... and no I mean the crazier woman with the large chest." "Joy? Or should I say Despair? She left. She wasn't supposed to be here anyway... always loafing. Me I just came because I'm taping all of this for my marital aides line. I mean if someone can be turned on by Ron Jeremy going all the way with someone, Eldrick "Average Joe" Tobin ought to get me at least a buck a tape. Not upset are you?" "Hell go ahead and borrow the surveillance tapes," chorally replied Ami and Eldrick. "All you girls must be a good influence on him. I remember thinking no one could be worse than Keiiche. Ciao!" Poof and she was gone. "Wow I really was lightly modeled after her," spoke a shocked Margo feeling herself over with her free hand. "Well time to clean Hope up and get her to bed." Margo stepped into the elevator in the corner. Ami mentioned continuing her swim. I could hear Astrala already splashing about. Which left him alone with Ardice, Haris, and Charhon... till Margo wasn't doing anything. "Well if I'm going to be the sex object of every female in the place until you girls get sick of me that is, I might as well unroll a mat and take the next willing girl on. Charhon pointed her thumb back while Ardice said,"Haris won the draw." Haris giggling and blushing,"That would be ... me!" and then in her normal voice, "Come here you!" "You really are a lot like Ryoko." "Trying to heat yourself up eh? I should be more than enough to do that without you thinking of my body model." "I wasn't talking about your body..." I'd finished rolling the mat... and whoosh I was flipped over onto my back on it and pinned. "Well you should because see... it's sitting on you." I simply smirked and leaning licked a nipple before the real sex began. ... to be continued... =0==0==0==0==0==0==0==0==0==0= =0==0==0==0==0= Eldrick's working so I'm gonna post this for him.

"Oh hi Morning!" "Hi Astrala. Cheery this morning aren't we?" "I'm usually cheery... unless being called an idiot. You need coffee or something?" "No coffee for me... I don't drink it that often. Certainly not like some who drink over a pot a day. Why?" "You look dead on your feet. Tea? Me?" He smiled and grew thoughtful," Tea... is fine... but seriously Astrala... not used to my pheromones at all yet? I mean constant innundation for a month and a half now ought to be lessening the effect." "Well actually you aren't giving off much of anything... well save that down there under the robe... but that's probably because it is awake." "It wakes up before I do. Always has. Amazing considering the workload it has at times." "Well think of it as an exercise program you can't escape," she giggled then, pushed him into a chair, and slipped around Charhon who like a coffee zombie wasn't quite awake yet as she stared into the odorless brewing pot. "Morning Charhon..." In the heavy voice of the still asleep yet not, "Mor... ning." "You might wanna hit the closet after you have your coffee." "Why... isthat?" "You aren't wearing a stitch." Her eyes snapped open, and she looked down. She mouthed an "Eep!" and rushed to the stairs flying up them rather than walking. "My my some just can't take their own nakedness." Margo said swatting Eldrick on the backside. "Morning Eldrick... will you be ready for exercise today? You're a bit over dressed you know." "Morning Margo and the robe comes off easily." "I know but clothing is such a bother. The body's natural beauty should be shown to the world!" He gave her a flat look. "What?" she asked. "Here's your tea Eld." "Thanks Astrala... though I could have made it myself." "Bah no need... just give me a kiss for my efforts and we'll call it even." "And I thought I was insatiable. Just remember he's mine at 10." Margo announced as Astrala snuck her kiss out of Eldrick. "You know one day you all might look back on this and gag... One day you'll be used to my pheromones and you'll all whack me over the head when I leer at you." "Oh well then best to get it all over with neh?" Margo pulled the zipper on Astrala's dress and it fell off. Astrala gasped and reached for it.. but Margo just spun her around. "My sister is young and supple is she not... the new bloom of beauty locked away from time's ravages. Feel that backside... no cottage cheese there." "Margo... I was using that hand for me tea... or at least was before you forced my groping hand so to speak." "Oh then you tire of my sister... does her young girls infatuation grate you?" "No it's not that... my body's not awake yet you realize. I haven't even been to the bathroom yet. I've only been up for 15 minutes. It has nothing to do with a jadedness or anything like that. A man getting tired of staring at 8 beautiful women has to question if he's a man." Margo applauded," Well said well said... at least your brain is working. Well you have... 30 minutes to get the other one working." Astrala embarrassed, climbed into her dress again and did up the zipper. "Oh... would you like some... milk in your tea?" Margo asked suddenly hand poised on her right nipple. "Um no... are you just trying to heat me up? "Of course." "I knew it." "Yes your brain is working. You see that lovely scent you add to the air well... call me a pheromone addict. I want you funky... and randy... and ready and willing to toss me to the floor and show me that yes I am a woman. I don't even mind if you scream out the wrong name." His head slumped,"Is Haris still upset?" "I think so. Perhaps some... recreation would cheer her up? It is hard to be upset when the body is a-tremble..." she cooed at him. "Hey I'd even be calmer if I was trembling... why don't we rub your tea all over me and you lick it off? Hmm? What do you say?" "Margo sheesh. I'm landlocked in the tides of pubescence and I'm calmer than you are. I'm headed upstairs." Astrala sighed and headed towards the stairs. "Hmm... she didn't fold..." "What's going on are you trying to alienate Astrala?" "She'd be thrilled to hear you ask that... no I'm not... I was hoping to prod her into talking about the dream she had last night... woke everyone up with her thrashing and moaning... moaning YOUR name to be specific. One by one we'll all probably fall hopelessly in love with you. A nice 8 girl orgy might get that gut to go away. All the exercise you've done and no change... not so much as an ounce..." The clock rang 9:30am, and Margo blinked. "I must still have my mind set to our home dimension's time... you have 30 minutes... left before practice..." "No wonder you always say I'm late. I guess I've been on time like I thought then." "Well at least I'm not late." "No you're early." "Hehe you better get the other mind in gear... I was referring to bio," she rubbed against me," logical," she sat on my lap... wrapping her legs around me," clocks. I mean if we weren't constructs you'd be up to your ears in half breeds." He eeped," You mean if you were run of the mill demon girls I'd be a father a few times over already?!?" "Yep... she's right. Their home plane's demon gestation period is only a week. But as they are constructed so to speak. They are sterile. Might make an interesting experiment to see if it's reversible. You game Margo?" "No Washuu I'm not. While inner beauty shines during pregnancy... I so much prefer the shallowness of physical beauty. But then... I'm designed for it." "Washuu behind me... err us?" he whispered to Margo. She stuffed his face into her chest. "To what do we owe the honor of this visit Lady Washuu?" "You're mispronouncing Little ya know. Anyway I've been looking for a certain student you are wrapped around. But I can come back later... if you two like." Washuu laughed that Washuu laugh. "Later he'll not be able to walk... exercise comes later and I fully intend that he be absolutely exhausted to the point I have to lay him down in his bed afterwards. He's yours for 25 minutes ... just have him on the practice mat in time." "My my Yes ma'am of course!" "Washuu... don't talk like that... you are the Greatest Scientific Genius in the Universe. You know my attitude was designed in." "I know. I was just being patronizing." "Oh. Well I'm going to get ready for practice. See you then Eldrick." "Uh... yeah... see you then Margo." He replied. "Aren't we moving up the eichi ladder? Moving 6 demonettes into the house... letting your lady love's boss stay over for vacation. Eldrick... you've grown naughtier." "I would so love to say it's not what it looks like..." "But?" "It is. The demonettes were part of a plot by Lossoth. He was trying to use them as a wedge between Ami and myself. But he's had them all away from pheromones wielding human males so long that they... defected. None of them can go home or he'll destroy them." "Ah but... didn't he fully expect you to kill them if the ruse broke? I'm sorry... they must all mean alot to you now... I shouldn't have said that." "Yeah they do... though I've tried to shut them out... they've wormed their way into my heart." "Poor Eldrick. Too horny for his own well being." "Thanks Washuu." "Don't mention it. Say... want another one? I could always cook you up a Washuu demonette... after all one does resemble Ryoko. Daughters and Mother's come as sets you know," she laughed her wicked laugh. "Wha?!? No really that's alright." "What not appealing enough? I could always make her older," she age shifted. "Um ah... well... ah..." "So I'm not appealing to you eh? Something wrong with these?" She began working on her blouse. "AH! No... nothing," he forced himself to calm down,"Washu. I have no problem with your beauty you are one of the most attractive people I've ever had the pleasure of meeting, but in all fairness... another demonette would just exhaust me." "I'm only teasing of course," she was young again... he breathed a sigh of relief," You must have really been distressed. You got calm. Sorry to have done that to you... but I figure if Margo is gonna be after you in 15 minutes that I'd might as well heat you up for her," she laughed,"You really thought I was serious didn't you?" "Actually I was." "I'm hurt. He comes to me he begs for help with a new fuel... and he doesn't trust me to just check to see if all the old feminine wiles are working." "Washuu... I would have gotten used to it... it's not like I wouldn't be able to accept her." "So you want me to do it? Before you turn pale again as blood rushes to your nose, I'm teasing. Ami is highly tolerant of your current troubles... I wouldn't want the poor girl in further distress. "Well now for the reason I'm here... your fuel refuses to synthesize. But that's nothing... I can always come here and bug you for more if needed... this "dimension" must just have something that mine lacks... or there's a bug in my device. Anyway... I came this way to see if you could help me... but maybe I can help you." "How Washuu?" "Well I could find out why they aren't used to you yet. THAT should have happened in the first week. I could also work out a diet for you. And of course since we are friends I can be someone to confide in who you don't have to worry too much about breaking the heart of," she smiled that you can trust me smile and then added,"So tell me all the gossip." Washuu laughed her laugh. "I don't know how much I can say in 5 minutes. I can tell you later if you can stay. Can you?" "Oh sure. There's a doll back home impersonating me currently. So I won't be missed." "Amazing level of concentration you have there Washuu." "This is nothing... eating is the interesting thing. Ever start chewing suddenly and actually be chewing food that someone else is eating? That's a trick. I've used that when I wanted a midnight snack once. Doll seems to be eating but it's really me... possibly having never gotten up." "That's... odd Washuu." "You forgot the "little" Eichi Boy." She waggled her finger. Sounding like child he responded,"Icky wittle Washuu." They laughed their way up the stairs. Upon arriving at the practice area level, she touched his arm. "Try not to get too tired out there." "Easier said than done." "It's all about faith in yourself. You think Tenchi just pulls the Wings of the Light Hawk out whenever he feels like it? He has to have faith in his abilities. As you should yours. So go get her!" "Nice pep talk. What you gonna be doing?" "Oh want me to watch? I didn't know you liked people watching." "Washuu..." "Just teasing. It's fun... you should try it sometime." "Sure after we have raucous sex later," He smirked. "See you're a quick study. Nothing to it right? I'm off to get samples of everything from everybody. Should take a few hours... so go knock her out and bring her to the computer room when you've exhausted her okay?" "My you have alot of faith in me." "Of course!" she said in a much lower voice," I have to." "What was that?" "Oh nothing." The floor absolutely wreaked of the scent of woman he noticed as he rounded the corner towards the practice area roped off a few feet beyond. The conqueror within sounded the war blast on the horn. "Let's dance round boy," Margo beckoned. Eldrick nodded -she quirked an eyebrow,"But first I must remove my robe," he twirled it off, folding it over his arm, and then set it on the rope. "I'm impressed." "You have yet to have reason. Have at thee." "My my. Someone got a pep talk." "Less words more sex," He said as he embraced her and kissed her greedily. The conqueror within about to beat the war drums was stunned and dropped the sticks... was he in the same skull? DURING THE 2 HOURS "Listen up everybody... pool party and genetic testing out by ... you guessed it the pool," announced Washuu into the security system's PA. "Thanks for the use... Konei was it?" "Oh no problem at all. Anything for the Greatest Scientific Genius in the Known Dimensional Steps." "The contest is still being judged so no tooting my horn before the judges say boo." "Um okay... But I'm sure you'll win." "You remind me of someone." "Hopefully not a cat..." "Oh that's right your first hundred years... no fraid not. Mihoshi told me she was sure I'd win too is all." "Detective First Class Mihoshi? Of the Galaxy Police of Jurai Space? Wow really... thanks. Wait... before or after her breakdown?" "Before." "Oh... that's a relief. Well to the pool party I go." "I'll join you in a minute." "Okay... um Little Washuu?" "Yes?" "Is it clothing optional?" "Uh... yes... I didn't see any neighbors to complain when I came in." "Oh good. This Security outfit Margo bought for me doesn't fit right so I try to take it off when ever I'm off duty. You need Gerard too?" "Who's Gerard." "That would be me Professor Washuu. Had I been born in Jurai Space I would have begged to attend your classes." "Whoa... you're huge..." " I used to be taller..." he added when she paused. "and thanks for the compliment." "My pleasure Professor Washuu. Anything I can do to help you in your experiment today? My mind may be dulled from years of Military Service but my hands are still usable." "Well I'm going to you need to hold down the girls should they become faint of heart," she said in jest. "You can count on me." "Gerard... that was a joke." "Oh. Sorry. My funny bone shrank more than the rest of me when I Micronized." "No it didn't that was funny... but in all seriousness I need samples from you also since you've been here the same amount of time." "My arm is yours." "Great..." ON THE DECK. "S&M? Really Haris I don't think you'd have to go that far," Ardice embarrassed by the line of thought remarked. "Then I should just have sex with him nonstop until he gets my name right. Sure I look like her But that doesn't give him the right to scream out the wrong name at the height of passion! My Name is Haris not... Ryo... ko..." "Greetings Lady Washuu. We are honored by your presence in Eldrick's home," Charhon intoned. "Can I get you anything?" Astrala asked. "Man... am I in the right dimension?" she checked the ground. "No, no cabbits. I am in the right dimension." Gerard leaned down,"Something the matter Professor Washuu." "Just eager to get started." .o0(I wonder if I'm laying the silly on too thick... but then I am known for wanting to be called Little Washuu and doing other odd things... guess I should just live up to their expectations.)0o. "Okay who wants to sit in the chair first?" she pulled a small cube out of subspace. "Actually that chair is way too small," noticed Konei. .o0(I'm SURE I'm not home right?)0o. "Let me put it down and push a button first." The chair expands. "Now who first?" "There aren't any strange probes or anything like that? Nothing of a perverted sexual nature right?" Washuu tries to keep a straight face," You're kidding right? There are no such devices." "What's the point then? Sisters this is boring. Let's go," Haris moves to leave... but bumps into the chair with a wing. And after a buzzer goes off it snares her with it's robotic arms and pushes her into the chair. After strapping her down the chair calms. "I should have known." "I plan for all contingencies." "Alright... now that I've volunteered what's next? Huh... what's this arm coming out of the back of the chair... that's a needle... you aren't going in my arm... argh... can't move... AIEEEE!! Ow Ow Ow... IS it done now?" "In a word... no. It still has 5 other samples to take. I'm sorry but they are sadly all necessary." "You're sorry? Look what I'm putting up with? Hey that's MY hair... give that hair back." "Just console yourself that it's all in the name of science," Washuu added her laugh to the end. "How comforting," said Charhon wincing as the needle aimed at Haris's face. WHEN IT WAS ALL OVER... 1.5 hours later Washuu announced,"You were all very good sports about this. Now I'm going to the Computer room to compile the data. Gerard you were a big help." "Thank you Professor Washuu," Gerard tucked the bandaids back into the first aid kit along with some other bottles. Washuu left the collection of wincing and moaning demonettes behind and headed for the computer room to begin her work. AT THAT MOMENT... "Wow... was that me back there? Did I do this to her?" Margo's head was resting against his knee... and her face had an expression so plastered to her face that a mortician would have difficulty removing the smile. "Hey Eld... you done in here yet? Eh? Who am I kidding... Hey Margo has he passed out from effort yet?" Ego arrived from around the corner of the stairwell. "Lords of Light! What you do to her?" "I'm not sure... I knew we spoke the language of lust... the kind that only dogs can hear..." "Nice quote... mangled a bit but that was Speechless right?" "Um... yeah... and anyway she came a few minutes ago and stretched out on my lap. Then she fell asleep. Damnedest thing I ever saw. She normally has to... at least 4 or 5 times before she even calls it a day. Damned peculiar. You were calling for us?" "Oh yeah by Washuu calculations you were done so she told me to tell you to bring her up." "Washuu knew I'd be done? That merits a question. Lead on." "What... you must be joking Lord WomanTroubles. I'm heading out for ice cream." "Just be sure to bring back enough for more than you." "No problem. Oh and get Ami from the Greenhouse and Hope from the bedroom too... Washuu needs samples from them also." "Let me guess that was your errand?" "Yep but I don't feel like it. Ice Cream Calls... bye." "Degenerate." He continued muttering all the way to the computer room where he placed Margo in the "chair" before muttering his way to the bedroom and waking up Hope, and then muttering his way into the pool area and up the stairs to the roof. MEANWHILE "Hope would you be so kind as to wake Margo up?" asked Washuu fingers flying over the keyboard. Hope arriving nodded and Margo stirred to wakefulness after Hope touched her wing. "Hmm... this chair isn't comfortable... I can feel it's hard planes marring the perfection of my posterior. This is the test I barely recall hearing, yes?" "Barely? I sent it through the PA. Oh well give me your arm." ON THE OUTSIDE STAIRS "Ah-ha there's a package by the helipad... gotta remember to get that. Must be Harvey's fixed arm." He continues up the stairs. "Someone say something out here? Oh hi Eldrick. Just watering the plants." "Washuu would like some samples for her tests... she's already got them from all the other females in the house. You are the last, but certainly not the least," he finished taking the watering can from her hand and kissing it. "Come on." "My clothes... I don't want them fading in the sun... just a sec while I dress... ".o0( hehehehe )0o."Care to watch?" "Um... okay," he answered pushing his soldier back into rank. "Problem down there?" "I'll live." She giggled,"Whoa... Washuu must be in a hurry. Just a sec. Mrmmm ooF. There.. sundress in place." "It's sticking to you in interesting places." "Later... Washuu needs me," she giggled in response. MEANWHILE "That was painful La- Little Washuu." "But you'll live. And a long time too to judge by the preliminary information I have." "Well I'm not so sure about that because a chemical we need from our home dimension..." "Your bodies don't produce? Lossoth has been lying to you. You are all fit as fiddles. The chemical need was just so he could control you. Whole reason you could leave is he's been forgetting about giving it to you. Ah the Lady of the House has arrived. My compliments on your dress... save for the wetness of it." "Not my fault ... that is if you were gonna blame me..." he added. Everyone laughed,"Sorry... guilty conscience kicked in." "It's okay Honey," Ami kissed him," I'm sure Little Washuu has been patched into the security feed to see how everyone took to being... violated by her chair. But it doesn't look too painful when not seen from an angle. Does it matter if I'm clothed?" "Not at all. Eldrick dear... go placate the girls in their room... do something seemingly thoughtful like kissing their wounds," Washuu made a shooing motion. "Um... that sounds like a good idea... but... other than the kindness why?" He was weary. "I have samples of you from before everyone arrived still... now I need... CHARGED samples. So go set your pheromones a boil... but do not actually engage in anything." "You need them revved... not in cruise control... or with the brakes being applied." "Nice metaphor... get to exposing yourself to the girls," Washuu laughed," I mean their pheromones." "Um... ah... right." He left for the girls' bedchamber. Washuu fingers whirled," Seems he is unchanged too." Ami turned," How so?" "I'm still compiling, but a month and a half with all 8 of you... he should be mildly used to it by now... but he still blushes, stutters his words in that anime way... it's puzzling. Save for the effects you girls are having on him... he's almost no different than he was years ago when he came to me with his fuel problem. Very odd." "Um Little Washuu... I'm sorry I interrupted you... but can we start? Margo got her wetness all over the seat." "Eldrick came in... involuntary reaction. You probably aren't any drier." "A point Margo," she giggles," If I'd had my way we'd be a little late now. *sigh* but there seemed an urgency... so I staved Eldrick's advances." "You are as excited or not as you normally are right now yes?" asked Washuu. "Yep... I'm 'nominal' to use a computing term." "Standard disclaimer: This is gonna hurt." MEANWHILE "Well I think the best technique is to... Oh... Hi Eldrick," waved Konei. "May I come..." he was interrupted. "Right now?" Haris interrupted," It's so sudden... but okay." "Come in... I meant come in," he gave her the raspberry. "We'll get that tongue to work..." She advanced on him. "Hold it now... I came in the spirit of goodwill and science." Ardice looked up,"Science?" "Well yeah... you were all so mistreated by that machine... I figured I'd come see your wounds and kiss them to send them on their way to wellness." The room erupted in a few "Awww how sweet!" paraphrases, and some trashy talk of course. "Astrala, where does it hurt?" he asked since she had kept quiet. "Well... she took the first sample from my arm," she coyly responded. He kissed the wound and she sighed. He then moved around the room kissing them all on the bandaids on their arms. Konei didn't notice as she had given up on the debate and had fallen upon Gerard... Eldrick kissed her arm anyway. Charhon grew a bit bolder," She took a saliva sample from my tongue..." but was forestalled. Margo arrived... seemingly from hiding around the doorway. "Well the final sample of the 5 taken ... is a blood sample from a vein in the inner thigh... shall you be kissing those?" Margo pulled the bandaid off the wound... which bled freely then,"Oh... look what I did to Gerard's handiwork... want a taste Eldrick?" She stopped inches from him. D5: Washuu sent me to make sure we get him aroused enough. We can't actually engage in sex... besides a few licks here and there... and his groin is off limits. *see received mental groans* BUT we can "do everything but actually make him release his male response to the reproductive cycle". D3: Washuu words? D5: No, mine. Washuu was... more plain. "Ah dutiful Eldrick... no more bloodtrail... you little vampire. Now be nice to Haris... she still feels bad about you screaming the wrong name." "Not sure I want him near me now that you mention it." Eldrick removed the bandaid with his tongue alone. "But I can forgive him... Ahhhh... yes get all of it... oh you're tickling me..." D5: Charhon... remove yours before his sights set too high... D3: But I'm already healed... D4: So was I... D5: As was I... but we are trying to heat him up... he's not supposed to go truly oral on any of us... well Konei's probably safe since she's already in later stages of sexual need. But we must keep him going from one to the other until he's ready for Washuu. Just think the wound unsealed... D1: I'll go next... then Astrala... you're before Konei. D2: Right Ardice. Who's gonna tell Konei? She's not concentrating on our thoughts. D4: Why tell her... she's mid-fuck anyway... anything she gets is just more fun for her body. By the way what's Washuu giving us in return for all this... scientific work. D5: A whole case of Vita Soy to use on him. D3: A whole CASE? D5: Yes... wonderful won't it be? D2: "Drink Vita Soy it's good for you" *Skuld-like laugh* Astrala quickly dropped out of the conversation as she reflexively encased her and Eldrick in her wings as he licked up the blood before removing the bandaid with a probing hand. Astrala leaned over to Konei and pulling the bandaid off cut her with her nail. Eldrick's attention was drawn away but not his fingers which were inside Astrala -not that she minded at all. He licked and wiggled his fingers at the same pace. Soon the blood was gone -the injury had closed, and the three -well I guess 4- remained sex locked. Konei moaned softly around Gerard's manliness as Eldrick's tongue caressed her deeply. His hand softly stroked Astrala to the verge... Astrala came hard and fast and if it wasn't for Charhon she would have hit the floor. Margo grabbed Eldrick's arm to keep him from licking his fingers... and Haris dragged him bodily away from Konei as Gerard expelled and she climaxed. "Let me go... let me GO DAMNIT!!" he yelled as he stared at the juices sliding down Konei's legs. "Give it to me now Gerard!!!" Konei screamed as she quickly laid back on her spread wings. Gerard blinked at Eldrick -just noticing him fighting the restraints of arms on him. "Give it to her Gerard. Eldrick wants to watch. He SOOO wants to watch." Gerard in his usual phase 2 of sex with Konei style... rammed it home... and pulled out again and rammed again... setting into his phase 2 rhythm. The girls held their ground as Eldrick fought to be free. Konei came again... and again... a total of 10 times before she told Gerard that she'd had enough. On the last one... Eldrick passed out... Astrala reported that his heart was still beating... that they hadn't killed him... like the last man they'd done that to. Haris carried him to the computer room. "Oh my... what did you do to him?" "But you said to heat him up... Margo said so." "I said heat him up... not cause him to faint from the pain of the severe case of blue balls you gave him. Well he's fine... his breathing is normal... did you give him vita soy? You did bring him straight here... he didn't hit this stage minutes ago did he." "No vita soy... and you didn't hear me running because I flew. We knew he wasn't normal so we risked what we did." "And had he been normal?" "You'd be applying a replacement heart," Ardice said as she entered the doorway. "Try not to do this to him again... bad enough he doesn't have a soul that I've found." Ami re-entered the room from finishing the gardening," I heard a scream... and it sounded like Eldrick," she gasped," What happened to him?" "The demongirls decided that since he was different -ie without soul- he could survive some wierd sex magic thingamawhatzit." "I see..." something sunk in," um Little Washuu... he isn't without a soul." "You're kidding... right?" "No... it's in the real word... he's just a manifestation. Jason -who he really is- imagines himself here where he feels happier rather than try to sneak a game or something at his workplace." "So he's a mental avatar... I see. Sort of a Hologram of a real person projected into the unreal world. I fully understand! I wish you'd told me before... it was the last piece of the puzzle!" Her fingers shot across the keys... the secondary boards rose out of the desk and her fingers flew over those also. Meanwhile her machine had taken the final samples... and was processing the data. A HALF HOUR LATER or so it seemed. Eldrick woke up... there was a pain in his crotch he'd never had the misfortune to know before... he moved to clutch his testicles and lean over them in a protective way... when he realized he was restrained. "Ah you're awake! Everyone else is asleep. You wore them out." "But then why... do they... hurt so much." "Well that is how... the demonettes are exhausted from the spell they worked on you... and Ami fainted with worry... Hope exhausted herself masturbating in the hallway while the spell was being worked. It's just you and me. I would tease you about that... but you don't look in the best shape." "I feel like a toilet that has backed up... so what are the results? Is there a cure? For me or them?" he asked shakily. "I'm afraid the answer is no. There is no cure for blue balls save relief." He weakly laughed," Actually I meant the pheromone problem." "I felt like you could use some cheering up. Actually... in regards to the issue... ///During the "30" minutes.../// "I've got it! You are all excessively horny and interested in him... simply because he wants you to be. Ami... you've calmed a bit since you arrived yes?" "Does that mean he doesn't want me?!?!" "No need to get bent out of shape. It's his brain waves... he loves you deeply so he doesn't just want sex from you. He is of course too horny to stop cold turkey." Ami giggled relieved. "Astrala... and everyone else... you all entered the story because he has things for those you look like. My Ryoko, Sasami, Mihoshi, Skuld, Urd, Ami you have a little Belldandy in you now... I'm forgetting names... oh yes Tsunami, Achika... Aeka... Sylia Stingray, Kiyone, Saoko... the list probably has more in it but that what the database indicates." "So he wants us all," Astrala sighed and brushed a hair of his from his face and kissed him while he slept. "... and you are probably all content to hear that because you are supposed to be." "Eh... whatever. There's sex... it's mildly interesting and we are alive... what more should we worry about." "That's not the 'programming' talking... just so you know. When he's out... you all pretty much act like you would if in any other anime. You lust after him... or want to hug him... or just wanna be in the room with him according to your natural personalities. And don't worry when awake you just key in perfectly. If he's upset you are consoling... according to how you would be. You're giving me a blank look Konei. What don't you understand?" "Are we separate beings? From him and each other?" "*sigh* Yes you are. You are all distinct... otherwise if he had complete control he'd slip up and you'd all do the exact same thing. Even the human subconscious can only manage so many things. Now you girls go get some sleep." "But I for one am not tired." "Because I'm blocking the signal you'd be getting that you should be going off to sleep. But I'll stop that because I want to talk to him alone." Hope asks,"Do you want him too because you are in his realm?" "Actually no... but it's nice to flirt sometimes." "If he was Tenchi would you?" "Not a nice thing to blurt out Margo." "Just a question... sex is a good thing... some of the best exercise you can get. Well you can release the signal... on me... I need the rest." "As you wish... you have 5 minutes it seems before you'll pass out on the floor asleep. Better get to the bed. Anyone else?" various hands raised... ///(everything fades back to the now)/// "There is no cure. But then they all love you and want you on various levels so why break what works fine as it is?" Washuu finished. "But I'm so worried they'll wear me out... I'm not built for all the sex..." "Looks fine to me." "Say... when did I undress? I remember Konei climaxing and that's it." "Astrala had a little fun before I shooed her off to bed. Hope had to help her walk to the bedroom." "You mean she... while I was strapped to... I hope she doesn't get a bondage fetish." "You mean like mine? I love strapping men into devices... I know you know what I tried with Tenchi..." "I know... and Mihoshi appeared out of nowhere and interfered." "Which wasn't very nice of her... hadn't been with a man for centuries... and then bubblehead shows up. Such bad timing. "Yeah I guess..." "So you wanted me to eh?" "Well I uh... don't know." "Be honest... you didn't want me to stop... did you." "No... I'm a naughty little hentai... I wanted Tenchi to maybe hug you in thanks afterward." "So you are a romantic fool... must be killing you that there's no decision publicly released yet eh?" "That and," he blushes,"nothing. Just that." "You wanna see us do this and that with him don't you? How embarrassing!" she laughs... he grunts and slumps over. "Damn... all this flirtatious talk isn't helping is it?" "I don't... think so... *to his crotch* down you... calm yourself down *he hears a noise and looks up* Aie!" "Shall we finish where Tenchi left off?" Washuu snapped her glove again to test it. "But... um... ah... what would Tenchi say?" "No different than if I treated you for burns... you have a pressure build up and I'm going to release it... not like I'm not wearing gloves," she snaps the other glove on... finishing the dreaded... nurse's outfit. "And I quote... myself... 'All in the name of science... right?'" "But... ah..." "Hmmm?" "Please... it hurts too much." "There there... it'll all be over sooner... or later how ever long it takes. Just a second," she laughs and reaches into a portal. She pulls out a tube... the picture is a Washuu crab... slipping on a banana peel. "Shouldn't you put a condom on me?" "Oh my! I didn't know you wanted things THAT way." "That's not what I meant..." "But we can..." "Don't ask me that... please... please don't I'm too weak. I couldn't bring myself to stop you... I even had a dream about you once..." "Shhh shhh it's okay," she wipes a tear from his face and makes sure he can tell she's joshing before continuing,"But I'll assume you'll let me if *I* decided eh? No... don't answer that... and a condom is an excellent idea for a slash guard... but I don't think I'll need one if I just get out of the way. Can I start?" he simply nodded. She was gentle. The End. ***** Oh fiddlesticks... he stopped before the good part... *sigh* Well there you have it In the Company of Hope 2... or I C H 2 depending on your appreciation of puns.

Cut... and Paste!" =0==0==0==0==0==0==0==0==0==0= In the Company of Hope The ongoing adventures of Ami and Eldrick and Hope Title by: Omatu Story by: Eldrick Chapter 3 ***** Hope's breath caught... she'd been here before or at least a place so similar it was creepy. She let herself be dragged along. She didn't even recall her parents... and she KNEW Lossoth had manipulated her thoughts around before. Maybe this was just that... the remnants of a fiction she'd half forgotten. She saw the Great Dragon statue in the center of the room, and knew it was probably all false. But she couldn't help but imagine all over again all the images which had haunted her. She wondered what would happen if she acted on them. "Restaurant to Hope... come in Hope." "No I came up there," she mentioned in a dreamy voice," What did I just say... oh no ... I said that aloud... damn you Lossoth..." Ami giggled,"So Lossoth had you doing funny things here also? He had me Up there on the back of the Dragon with an EVIL version of Eldrick. Or was I the one acting evil? Oh well I forget." "Yeah... Eldrick and me... on the back of the dragon too." "Girls... food remember? Oh well locked up in your fantasies... we have the whole place to ourselves... until 8pm at least." Hope Blinked and looked at him, "Can we fuck on the Dragon, Eld?" He stumbled to the ground and looked back,"Ack... I don't think we can ... do such things here. I mean... um... ah... in front of the host staff?" Hope's eyes went clouded,"Won Toh is currently with a prostitute... and there are 2 female hostesses at the northeast corner taking advantage of each other." "Really?" Ami looked around the dragon, and sure enough 2 girls were up each other's skirts. "So can we? So many times Lossoth showed me stuff here that... I... just can't take it..." she was so aroused liquid was sliding down her leg. She went down on her knees and unzipped his fly. He vainly tried to escape. "Hope... in public?" was about all he could say before she had her clothes off -Ami had to help- and was sitting on his manliness bouncing up and down on it as if her life depended on sex with him at that moment. She leaned down and let him lick a nipple every now and then until Ami started teasing them for Eldrick. Then in an unexpected move Ami slipped out of her clothing, and then began helping Eldrick out of his. Ami stood over Eldrick and undid his shirt buttons with her teeth. Hope seized the opportunity and pulled Ami closer to her face. "Oh... Hope!" Ami said lovingly as Hope's tongue worked this way and that over Ami's womanhood... only pausing to shudder in orgasm before plunging back in. .o0(This is how it should be)0o. Hope thought. .o0(I'm with both of them...)0o. Eldrick ran his hands over Ami... teasing her nipples with his fingers... while his tongue and hers frolicked in one mouth and then the other. A soft shuddering moan escaped Ami, and a grunt escaped Eldrick as they came at the same time. Hope overwhelmed by her senses came again... and they all disengaged and cuddled on the floor for a minute to let the waves of pleasure subside before Ami mounted Eldrick, and Hope sat on his face. He softly licked her as Hope devoured Ami's breasts as they bounced with her rhythm on Eldrick's rod. Up lick suck down lick suck. They kept at it until They all came again... and again... "Eldrick... I wanna watch as you take Ami on the Dragon... then you take me... then I take her. Then all the visions given to me before should be pleased enough that I can think of eating food." Eldrick so drunk on pleasure did as was asked, and none of them could see anything but each other or they would have long since noticed the video camera on a tripod that was following everything they did. Not that they would have cared. They only wanted to fuck... nothing else. Worry that they were in public had died. Ami had finished settling herself on the dragon's back and signaling Eldrick... she moaned as he slipped right in. "Why... ummm... do I feel... yes... we've done this... yes right there... before?" "Maybe we... oh you feel so wonderful... fell upon each other the last time we were here?" "OoooOOoH spectators! You think anyone remembered to ah... ah... AH! eat?" "I... I... I. hope not... Mmmm ahh." Hope interrupted with a moan, and then spared a glance to see her watching them... on a table... masturbating like she was trying to reach another dimension. Soon Ami came hard. He had to hold her down as he came also. Wrapped up in their sex... they didn't hear the applause... or hear Hope scream out her own personal triumph. Eldrick and Hope switched places, and he watched rapt as they brought each other to the heights of ecstasy... covering the dragon in more of the juices of love. "Would you like towels to dry off with?" announced Won Toh over the PA. In shock they looked around to see people smiling whistling or clapping. They were handed their clothes... which had been laundered... and towels to dry off with. Then once they were clothed they were lead to a dry table... where 2 tapes awaited them, and were told the buffet was open. Later Hope said,"After the meal it's my turn with Eld on the dragon." The End. ***** Note from the Author: Sorry there wasn't the level of detail you are used to... I had too many mental images floating through my brain to think clearly.

Or her sister Urd... or Washuu... or even Ryo-ohki. Washuu: What about my Ryoko? Would you introduce her? Eldrick: When did you get here?! Washuu: A few minutes ago. I got tired of waiting for you to show up at the Science Academy... So I figured I'd bring myself on over. <> Didja miss me?<> Ami: Yes he did Washuu... he was calling your name out in his sleep last night. Eldrick: I did not... you are both just teasing me aren't you? Washuu and Ami: Yes... Eldrick: I thought so... Washuu: But you enjoy it so... we tease you. Eldrick: Guess I'll get to introducing you... anyone else with you Washuu? Washuu: Me, Ryo-ohki, Ryoko, Aeka, Sasami, Misaki... Eldrick: Oh just wonderful... Washuu: Funaho, Katsuhito, and the Guardians stayed behind to guard the house. Mihoshi WOULD be here but she's currently on assignment. Eldrick: Why are Funaho, Misaki, and Katsuhito here? =0==0==0==0==0==0==0==0==0==0= Chapter 4 "Well Eldrick... I'll tell you how it happened..." Washuu starts. "Everyone was there... embarrassed or not by what was BOUND to happen," Washuu pauses to chuckle, "Aeka was to perform with poor Tenchi... for her mother and father to prove she has what it takes to rule... SPIKED HEELS AND A WHIP!" "Any questions so far?" Konei asked,"By perform what do you mean exactly." "What does spiked heels and a whip give you a hint of?" "Well either kinkiness or an interesting sense of fashion." Washuu sighs,"Think Bondage and Discipline." Konei's eyes widened,"That's like S&M right?" "Who says Mihoshi isn't here..." Washuu muttered. "Um... you did?" "Getting back to the story," Washuu groans, and then falls into the narrative. *-*-*-* Aeka: Whatever will I do... I don't have the right rope here... and Miss Washuu is at the Academy as she insists it be called. Tenchi: Does this ceremony really have to happen? Aeka: I'll be gentle Lord Tenchi. Tenchi: That's not the point! I'm not into bondage!! Sasami please talk some sense into your Sister. Sasami: I'm sorry Tenchi but this has to happen... it's either this or you have to fight a melee of 15 of Jurai's finest in a battle to the death... with my sister being carried on your back the whole time. Tenchi: *sigh* But do I have to be in this apparatus until this ceremony? I promise I won't run away. Really. Aeka: *distracted as she hunts for proper equipment tossing it on the floor behind her* Lord Tenchi... you have to look like you've been in the shackles for days... It's a pity I forgot this day was on it's way. I think I'll just have to hit town for some bungie cord or something. *sigh* Is this the feeling father has that gives him that look on his face when he's in court? *sweatdrop* Tenchi: Be back soon... I'm not going anywhere... *-*-*-* "And then Aeka bumped into my daughter just outside the door..." *-*-*-* Ryoko: Must you go through with this? I'm sure there are other options... Aeka: This is the least grim Ryoko... My father really has it in for Tenchi... but as he is King... the council would back even Tenchi being slain by me as proof of my ability to rule. Ryoko: I see... well I recommend that perversion store in the next dimension over. Aeka: But I was just going to head to the general store some rope of the right gauge... Ryoko: Well I was just suggesting you not do it half-assed like so many other things you do... but fine do as you like. *teleport sound* Aeka: Oh that woman really gets on my nerves. Next Dimension over? Right. *she reaches up to touch the Master Key on her forehead* *-*-*-* "Now I'm not sure how many dimensions she went through so I'll leave that up to your imaginations..." Narrator: But I can let you in on the secret! Because Narrators are all knowing... all seeing *a gun is heard cocking* Ahem... Scene Change Transformation! ---`-,{@ Aeka stood in an odd smelling place... and just before she could reach her Key someone called to her... "Hey you there... are you here for the tryouts? Better hurry and change into your gear... Heck we are late as it is. Speaking of which hurry up, Usa!" The girl dubbed 'Usa' then spoke through the weave of her sweater,"I'm trying but my odango are stuck in here I swear!" "Just hurry it up." Aeka took the opportunity to touch her Key... and she dimensionally shifted. "There! Hey where'd that girl go that you were talking to, Rei?" "She was just right there... you think she's a Negaverse Spy?" "I don't know I just hope I look good for Mamochan..." "Remember the mission 'Meatball head'" "Only Mamoru gets to call me that! And why'd he have to join the football team as a kicker anyway?" Loud Speaker: Tryouts start in 30 Seconds... Rei and Usagi screamed and ran off. ---`-,{@ Narrator: After getting beamed by a mallet for popping up in the Tendo Furo Aeka finally reaches the Shop in Question. ---`-,{@ "'Just a dimension over', she says. Hmph! Well at least I'm here. 'Perverse We by, Hee Hee Hee, Knock on the Door, And meet us Four!' I guess I knock first... "This is SOOOOO boring... when are we gonna get a customer... I mean Lace... really... we haven't had a customer in an age!" says a voice within... drowning out her knock. "Patience Sheer... Patience." "That's easy for you to say Lace... you don't work the counter," Sheer mutters. "Work the counter that's a good one... Pick anyone up Sheer?" Sheer groans, "Ha ha ha, very funny Velvet... Very Funny. Hah hah." "It's all in bad taste right Sheer dear?" Velvet apologizes. "Heads up... someone's walking down the aisle." "Marriage humor Thread?" says Lace checking over the accounting. Thread slaps Lace," No... we have a customer." "Yeah so stop playing with yourself..." Velvet mumbles. "Accounting is hard work and not akin to masturbation!" "How can I help you, Lady..." "Aeka. I'm looking for <> and if you have any of those in different colors that would be great... I have to perform a very special "rope trick" for some very important guests." "Important?" thinks Thread," Well... then try this... we can get you 50 feet for almost nothing... and a second 50 -connected if needed- for half off." "Bad Joke Thread... just show her the cord... You'll like this Lady Aeka..." Aeka was proffered the light hemp colored cable... if was soft but LOOKED painful... and when she wrapped it around her hand and pulled... it actually gave JUST before it would have hurt. But LOOKED dreadful... she looked up puzzled. "That there is a magical rope... for unwilling subjects... it won't hurt them... but it gives off all the signs of being bitchingly painful... it even smokes a teeny tiny bit when you abrade it..." Velvet nods sagaciously. "Even casts an illusion of rope burns and compressed flesh... for the best show 50 dollars can buy! A buck a foot... a real bargain," Thread notes. "We have a great buyer..." Lace interjects. "I'll take it... I only have an hour to practice! That's $75 right?" "Correct..." Lace takes the money. "Pleasure" Velvet says. "Doing business" Sheer adds. "With you." Thread finishes. Aeka then traveled out of the store as fast as decorum would allow and shifted back only stumbling on one dimension where she almost got 'Aku Soku Zan' 'd before shifting away as fast as she could. ---`-,{@ Narrator: We now return you to your regularly scheduled Flashback. *-*-*-* Aeka: Made it! Oh dear... I lost 8 feet shifting away from that attack! At least I still have 14 yards... more than enough. Even enough to suspend him lower that I'd planned... perfect! Mother is going to love this... I do the exact same technique she used on that guard when she showed me how to do it... although I wonder what she did to that guard to get him so calm and still... Ryoko: Your parents are already here! What the hell kept you!? Aeka: How long was I gone? Ryoko: Ten Minutes... but they arrived just after you left. They are being stalled with Tea... I'll hop you to your room... hang on. *teleport* Here you go... I gotta head back to making it look like I was working in the field. Aeka: But you were supposed to work in the field... you mean you didn't actually do the work? Ryoko: We all gotta be presentable princess!! *teleport* Aeka: Must... remain... calm! Sasami: I cleaned your gear and had Ryo-ohki salt the leather... we are out of carrots now... but I already made dinner fortunately. Ryo-ohki: *looks up from patting Tenchi on the hand* Aeka: Sasami... why does Tenchi look so pale? Sasami: He had... a nosebleed... while I changed clothes... I'd forgotten he was there. *giga-sweatdrop* Aeka: Actually it's perfect... now he even looks malnourished. Thank you Sasami. Sasami: Um... you're welcome sister... I think. *blinks* Oh hey you got the rope! Aeka: Yes and it's really special... it won't hurt him... but it will look ghastly... like when Mother showed you "The Juraian Wrap"... why that look on your face. Sasami: Mother never got around to it... I was never taught anything... the day she finally had time... was when I snuck aboard your ship... and then... Aeka: Oh dear... well thankfully you are doing no more than handing me the items... actually... I can use the stand mother gave me... yes that will work out better. Ryoko: *from below* I'll just see what's keeping them! *she enters* The tea is now gone and they are getting agitated... Aeka: I see... well I still have to change... I know... Ryoko... change into your combat gear... and carry him down... like you are sneaking off with him... Sasami you go ahead of her and announce the "Story" to them... something like, "The feared space pirate... <> Sasami: Ryoko... fresh from her battle has absconded with the Warrior Tenchi... after defeating him in battle! And Look *pointing* There she is... coming now into her lair. *-*-*-* Washuu calmly describes the wordless scene,"Ryoko adjusts the tape player and a nice ninja stalking styled Japanese piece plays... as she creeps down the stairs. Tenchi stirring grabs her butt and she rolls forwards down the stairs... knocking Tenchi back out. She skillfully makes it look like that was the intention -to the applause of those gathered- and walks him near the stage with it's scaffolding. She looks up and back with a start and fires a blast behind her as she teleports out from beneath Tenchi... dropping him to the stage... Aeka's combat shield absorbs it -as it was weak- and she leaps and wraps her whip around Ryoko's throat..." Konei asks,"Can I make popcorn... this is good!!!" She get's shhh'd. "Sorry." Astrala give her some of hers that she'd conjured up in secret. "Ryoko thrashes as electricity pumps into her and falls to the floor! The energy whip then..." "I'm sorry to interrupt... but why salt an energy whip Washuu?" "I'm getting there!! Like I was saying..." *-*-*-* Tenchi: *as the whip cracks on his skin* ARGH!!!! What the! Aeka: Silence... you are spoils of war! I, Aeka, have rescued you and will do with you as I will until I see fit to return you to your home. Tenchi: *Looks puzzled* *is shown a sign by Sasami that says "Play along. \|^.^"* But I must return to my home... my father will send search ships... *gets whacked again* You don't have to be so rough! Aeka: I Aeka... queen of discipline shall teach you when you can and can't speak! Tenchi: *sweatdrops* But! Aeka: *cracks him again* Silence space trash! *and again* Silence Cargo! *and once more* I did not tell you to talk!!! For this insult I will teach you... oh yes... I will! *she pulls the rope from a dimensional portal... which gets applause* *-*-*-* "Right there I suspected something fishy... Especially since Aeka wasn't wearing her key... at least that's what I got from Ryo-ohki who thought something was suspicious... sorry for the partial mislead." Ardice smiles,"We do that all the time..." *-*-*-* Aeka: *tossing the rope over the Scaffolding... she then begins binding him... in a way that has Misaki taking notes* Misaki: Wow... so complex... my little Aeka is learning. It makes me so *sob* proud! *sob sob* Sasami: *watching the gruesome deed* It looks painful. Azusa: It isn't... believe me. Katsuhito: *into his popcorn* Thanks for sharing. Aeka: Now Slave! BEG FOR YOUR PUNISHMENT!! BEG! BEG!!! Tenchi: Beat me my Mistress of Bondage... make me hurt make me bleed! Aeka: *drew back her hand as the whip powered* Ryoko: Wait stop this is Wrong!!! Look! *-*-*-* "'We' all turned to see Aeka nursing a bruise with her clothing torn walking down the stairs. But just then with a cackle... the Falsehood cracked her whip on the Blank-eyed Tenchi... and they were gone without a trace!!" Astrala muttered,"Wow... really? Any clues?" Washuu paused to think,"It was just about then that I got bored with waiting for Eldrick to show up..." Hope blushed,"That was my fault... he just smelled so good after his workout that I couldn't resist." Washuu blinked,"I know what you mean..." she cackled when Eldrick twitched,"I was meaning you... stop squirming... though you can continue... if you like." "I'd prefer you continued your riveting tale Little Washuu..." "Alright... fun later... well I stepped back into my lab to find Ryoko in obvious pain... giving Aeka one of my Washuu Brand aspirin... The quickly clued me in but all the data just said they had dimension shifted. Ryoko was gone in a flash. This is what I got over the gems..." *-*-*-* Narrator: Sorry about all the changes in style... the writer got bored with the colons for now. On with the Show! Ryoko appeared in the locker room... fully prepped for battle and rushed towards the light beyond. "Did you not hear the announcement? Oh... you must have just arrived from the swim meet... you and that girl over there. Grab your fans and show us the routine you practiced. Don't give me that puzzled look young lady! Get your butt in gear! Show us your cheerleading routine!!" The burly American coach bellowed. "Alright... Here I go!" Ryoko went into a routine suitable -barely- for a sports medium. The Football Team's eyes watered... the other Tryout girls glowered, and the actual Cheerleaders just exchanged comments on her style... mostly derogatory... "Yay TEAM!!!" Ryoko back flipped tumbling 2 whole times and landed in a split, "Tada!" Only the coach's glare kept half the team from rushing over for her telephone number. "Alright... now you missy." "I shall perform for you with ribbon... like I did for my Olympic tryouts," A Silver pole with a black streamer appeared -to the trained eye from a dimensional pocket. Everyone glowered at her for her Olympic-ness... though the guys quickly changed their minds. As she performed Usagi commented,"Did you see that, Rei? That was dimensional... she's gotta be the one from the Negaverse." "Keep your voice down! And I think it's the other new girl... That is NOT spandex." "Hey you are right... and her eyes... so wierd." *-*-*-* "Just then the twirling strumpet..." "Her fashion sense that bad?" Margo inquired. "Indeed." "Sorry to interrupt... please continue." *-*-*-* The girl with the black and silver ribbon then tossed it towards one of the boys in the football team... and he vanished. One of the Cheerleaders then bellowed,"You stole MY target you floozy!" and dropped her disguise! She was the Negaverse spy. "I'm sorry... as recompense... DIE!" screamed the strumpet and her ribbon leapt over and cut the Negaverse spy in half. then vanished... taking the body... meanwhile the strumpet had vanished. "Damnit!" cried Ryoko and dimensionally shifted. Narrator: More backfill :) "Oh pooh! I thought the wierd eyed girl was evil!" "Maybe she was and there's just a big 'Evil Vs Evil vs Evil' convention going on?" The Coach then bellowed,"Stibbons is dead or something! YES!!! Thank you missy! Boy did I hate that kid... couldn't play to save the world. YES!!! MY DESPARATE PRAYERS ANSWERED!!!!!" Everyone face faulted. Narrator: There ya go... now we proceed to Ryoko trying to ask Ranma a question... "Hey... *ducks* I'm only *ducks* trying to ask if *ducks* *blocks and tosses him across the room* ANY ONE ODD HAS BEEN THROUGH!!!" "Hi there... my name is Kasumi Tendo and the only such report that can be given is that there was a girl in the furo with Akane earlier." Waving hands in warding frantically,"Not in that way of course!!" Ryoko nods,"Of course... no one else?" Kasumi shakes her head. "Damn... sorry about the mess... gotta go." \Shift\ "Whoa... looks like someone got their butts kicked here... but no Tenchi... no strumpet... not fake Aeka's... Last stop," and Ryoko teleported to the shop. "Lace!" The strumpet said and then shifted out of her disguise. "Velvet!" Said an equally strumpety girl... not disguised. "Sheer *kiss*" said a third girl appearing out of nowhere with some blond boy on a leash with glasses... and a model airplane of some kind in his hands... clutched protectively. "Thread!" and the girl who looked like Aeka appeared... flinging the bundled Tenchi at the blond kid who both tumbled into the shop... which then winked out of existence... "Damnit! Why did you 4 have to be evil? I liked that shop..." "Tough beans, Ryoko. This outpost... has served it's purpose... we now have collected the power Lossoth needs to force a breech out of his blockaded area of hell. Determination!" Thread paused. "Greed!" continued Lace "and Desire!" finished Sheer. Velvet then took up the torch," 3 parts of the same whole... a Determined man desires a thing and that in turn is a form of greed... a Greedy man is determined in his desire of things... and One who desires greedily determines the best path to his object of need." "And a sane person would call you cornballs," Ryoko added," Now give me back my Tenchi!" As one," No... ta-ta!" \pawf\ is the sound of their exit. *-*-*-* "Ryoko then yelled out for her Tenchi... as she is want to do... crazy kid," Washuu smiles. The room grew quiet. The only sound anyone could hear was the grinding of Eldrick's teeth. A beep sounded from Konei's wrist,"Hey... Ryo-ohki finally got clearance from Macross Sector to pass through and is headed towards the Macross Portal." Mindlessly Eldrick stood... his armor appearing his cape fluttering once on an unfelt wind. "Let us greet them... and then let us be off. Tenchi must be rescued. Lossoth will pay for bothering my friends." Ryo-ohki was just passing in via the entry portal when he had opened the door... a thought filled the air with the chirpings of birds... and indeed a few birds flew in the seemingly endless skies... just a little illusion to break the bleak monotony of the verdant plain. Closer inspection would lead one to see little more than colored air... and sounds somehow emanating from it. To say it required no concentration... would be a lie... but all of it was subsurface thought at the moment. Even the dock that slowly materialized didn't take alot... and fortunately Ryo-ohki noticed it or it would be for naught as the wood panels seemingly alive leapt across the air. Narrator: And all this was of course, was just something to keep him from breaking something. You don't just let a bastard like Lossoth live... but you can't just kill the fatherless goat either. You have to render him powerless... something woefully difficult to task oneself with... and the 8th side of impossible... well improbable but whatever. Narrator: But that's not important... yet MWAHAHAHAHAHA! *gun cocks* I'm cool... let's all just chilllll.... "I greet thee all and welcome thee to my pocket realm. I am honored by thy presence." "Oh Eldrick you can stop... my father is not here," Katsuhito chuckled. "Well I can still be honored can't I?" Misaki giggled,"Are you going to say some flirtatious or flattering lines to us, Eldrick?" "Words cannot express what the eyes see and the heart knows. As the mouth is often hanging open when in the presence of such beauty as yourself and Lady Funaho," Eldrick bowed low. Funaho smiled," You are too kind." Misaki smiled, and rushed forward. Eldrick could soon not breath if it wasn't for the armor. "You'll practice and be much better at that next time right?" "Of course Lady Misaki... anything for a Lady of thy noble bearing." She released him,"Hey! Who are all the girls? Last time we visited you were alone." Ardice smiled and curtseyed," Greetings Ladies Misaki and Funaho, and Lord Katsuhito, I am Ardice... these are my sisters. Haris, Margo, Charhon, Konei, and Astrala." As one the girls curtseyed," We are honored." D1: Wow... very good... I'm impressed. D2: Oh hush... we practiced. Katsuhito noticed,"My don't some of them seem familiar." Washuu piped up from the house,"I see someone didn't read my report." Katsuhito sweatdrops," Well I got busy. It shouldn't happen again Washuu." He turned around," Girls come out... we aren't leaving in Ryo-ohki. Fuming in there ready to kill isn't very lady like." "That's what I tried to tell them, but they are fighting over who gets to kill Thread or whatever her name was." Eldrick threw his voice... well,"Come out or we'll leave without you." "Lady Funaho, Lady Misaki, I trust you shall remain here during this situation since Lossoth can't strike my house?" Eldrick said turing to face them in turn. Muted Grumbling and running could be heard from inside Ryo-ohki. Sasami breathed a sigh of relief. Funaho nodded," If that is alright." "Of course it is," Eldrick smiled and then said a bit louder," Greetings Lady Aeka, Lady Ryoko, Lady Sasami. I am pleased to welcome you to my domain." Sasami descended the steps and bowed,"I only wish we didn't have to put you out like this." Aeka composed herself and descended the stairs stumbling at the bottom,"Greetings Eldrick. You are well I trust?" "Save for the worry over everyone's safety and the strong inclination to pound Lossoth's head into paste... I am doing well," he smiled. "Oh by the way Ryo-ohki... there are carrots on the helipad," He said adjusting the air to carry. "Miya!!!!" Spaceship became toddler which stumbling became a cabbit and hopped off to her carrots. "Lady Ryoko... you are going to come down here yes?" "I'm on my way..." "I was worried your dress was caught on some snag I errantly put in the dock." "Sorry... was just enjoying the thought of turning his head into paste myself." "I completely understand." "I think she just likes making everyone wait on her," Aeka commented. Ami stepped out of the doorway,"Tea and cakes are ready for any interested," she said pulling an apron off and chucking it into a dimensional pocket. "Ah there you are Ami! Keeping Eldrick out of trouble are you? I am right and you are Ami Kintaro correct?" "You are right Lady Misaki... I couldn't tear away or I would have greeted you properly. Hope should have the table set by now." "All set," was heard from within. "If you will all follow me," Ami said as she lead almost everybody away. Ryoko stopped in front of Eldrick,"Now that the dignitaries are inside... who's going with you?" Aeka muttered something but kept right on going. "What was that huh?" Ryoko half turned. "She knows it won't be her. She called you lucky. I wouldn't accept your offer except that Haris is already injured from something we now know is related... she had a run in with Velvet in Macross Sector. We all considered it nothing until Washuu showed up. Haris is much like you... determined to help... but able to hide when she really shouldn't be well. She and hope will be doing relay work between here and Jurai Space." "And the rest?" "Ami is coming with us. Washuu is going to be communications... Konei is getting more data in the dimensions that were bothered by the sisters. Astrala is going to help Washuu by being a direct relay and map for us when needed. Margo is coming along, and Ardice is public Relations. Charhon is backup if we need her. Acceptable?" "Should we bring Ryo-ohki along?" "I'd hate to decide for her..." "MIYA! Miya Miya mi-ya!" Ryoko shrugged," She wants to come along... Can't use Gerard anyway... he'll probably be the only one willing to talk to Azusa when he gets here. I thought he was bad when he just wanted Tenchi beaten and humiliated... but now 'I want my Aeka happy.' So when do we leave Blueboy?" "Immediately Lady Ryoko. Immediately. Konei found a dimensional hole... we are going to widen that... and then it's back to my first home for all of us." "Gate opening!" came from Washuu through the ear pieces everyone put in. "It'll be right to Konei and Konei will widen the hole for you. Good luck." Narrator: The portal was like any other purplish and hazy outline with the picture of another place... but it seemed all the more dangerous today. In the space between the dimensions Eldrick was sure he heard,"Soon you too shall be mine. You will be mine Eldrick Tobin!" The pavement on the plane where the Erotic Boutique was, had an eeriness about it greater than even the grassy expanse originally was before Eldrick made it his home. The cement so smooth that buckey balls would slide off of it the mind would think. Konei stood just yards away staring at a point and chanting... or maybe just begging it to not vanish or something. "I'd acknowledge that you were there better than just by talking to the wind but I gotta hold this hole open. Of course now that you are here I can open it. Margo can you assist?" "Glad to sister." They concentrated and wove with their hands and wingtips and wing claws... "Passing the burden to you Konei... you got it?" "Yep... and then I pass it to Hope's Staff right?" "If you brought it yes." "Hope made sure I had it with me... and here it is... Pass now," she visibly took the force... and attached it to the staff... then drove the staff into the ground. "There. I'll remain here to be a link in the relay to you. Hope you find everybody nice and safe." Eldrick looked over his group. Ryoko, Margo, Ami, and Himself... surely they could do this deed. "Let's Dance!" [No they didn't start breakdancing -Zin] Narrator: Hey Zin... get out of the way you speedbump! [Make me -Zin] Ego: Cool it... my part is coming up... you will not botch my role!!! Narrator: Sorry. [Sorry -Zin] MEANWHILE at Lossoth's Palace... "My lord... I will kill him for you... please... he has perverted from your glorious path all they other warriors. I remain... and I remain loyal... I beg of you." "Ah it does feel good to be begged of... you may go... just try not to damage things too much... I'm only leasing this section still... got 666 more payments to go you know. Well go my Agent Orange... go and slay." "Thy will be done my mispronouncing Lord of Flame." ELSEWHERE. "Why does Hell stink so bad?" "Lady Ryoko this section is over the Pits of Putrefaction... where all the feces in the Known Dimensional Steps ends up after any and all purification. It's why Lossoth's rent is so cheap." "This is nothing Ryoko... there are worse smelling places than this. Trust me." "I'll take your word for it." "Sentries ahead... two... facing away. Moving Ahead," And Eldrick slid forward and cut the air twice. Two bodies fell ... writhing... but not dead. Ami came up and put them into coma's with a spell. Margo explained to Ryoko that if they had been killed... then Lossoth would Flood the area with guards and other types of demons... "I'll keep that under advisement." Forward they moved silencing guards on the way... until they came to one of the many mess halls Lossoth kept to keep his "Army" happy. Margo undid her robe... reveling a Belly Dancer's Outfit. "Everyone try to sneak around to the North Side... and try not to watch me dance... or the men's reactions. It's going to get ugly." And Margo spun and swirled her hips... trusting this way and that... jangling... finger symbols clanging. "OPAH!" she cried and jingled her way to the stage in the middle... the girls already engaged in erotic dance cleared happy for the break... "In the caravans we have a saying... if you can't keep the beat of the dancing girl you shouldn't even think about her. Clap the table or clap your hands... Here we go... OPAH!" And Margo began dancing. She set the clap pace with her symbols as she writhed to an unheard beat. Wrapping her arms about herself she began undulating her stomach... lines of bells ringing with a shk shk shk. Eldrick pried his eyes away as he felt her true spell start. "Let's move... she has their complete attention." "And you know this how?" "I was the victim of it just this morning. The hornier they get the more violent things will get as they fight and fall upon each other." "But they are guys... all of them." Eldrick gave her a flat look. "Ick... let's hurry then." "Glad it's you here Ryoko," Ami said as she plied her way forward. "Why's that Ami?" "Haris would want to stay to see the outcome." "She had a really different upbringing then... wow." "All the Demonettes were raised by Lossoth... to be his sex slaves. He grew bored of them and when he sent them into a deathtrap... they joined up rather than ... well... become stains on the garage floor." "They aren't used to male human pheromonal odors... and Eldrick is as bad as Tenchi for nosebleeds and such." "I wondered why Washuu always came out for a giggle when Eldrick came over to study... I figured he was botching things up..." "Nope... your mother does to Eldrick what she does to Tenchi. Of course Tenchi can see through it..." The Girls laughed. Eldrick grumbled. MEANWHILE "Lady of Depression... I bring news to thee... Eldrick is in Hell." She awoke with a start... she was wondering why her dreams had turned so... wet... "Where in Hell?" "He is after Lossoth Bright Lady." "Good work Agent Orangé, I'm so glad you are on my payroll as well as Lossoth's," She ran a finger along his nose... as it slowly bled just a little. "Oh look all hot and bothered... soon my pet... soon I will take you... but not yet... I must make Eldrick mine again. That my sister has him regularly and that fiction gets him even more than that offends me. We shall not even get to the demonettes." "Of course we shall not Bright Lady." "I Joy, Lady of Depression... shall have Eldrick... dear Eldrick... for myself and only me once again. Come Orangé you must help me dress for battle... I feel Ami is near him. I'll not lose to her like I did last Week again... I have rested now... and my strength is twice what it was before." "You will crush her like a steamroller crushes and ant, Bright Lady." "Of course. Now go... keep them company... I can manage the rest myself. Besides your hands are all clammy." "Of... Of course Bright Lady." Orangé dematerializes. "A pity I put all that work into Orangé now that Eldrick is in my grasp again!" She laughed long and hard as she slid her long boots on and attached her garter belt to them... she adjusted her bustiér and picked up her riding crop. ELSEWHERE "That... was something i could have spent a lifetime NOT seeing," Ryoko remarked as she stepped forward careful to not slip. "I told you to hurry and not pay any attention. Not my fault you had to see the final effect of my spell," Margo said as she delicately stepped over two guards enjoying each other's company. "Gotta admit... I have quite and effect on men." "You'll have to teach me that one day Margo." Eldrick shot a look at Ami in shock. "I'm teasing you Eldrick. Although you and Gerard would look so cu... sorry." Eldrick shivered. Margo and Ami giggled. Ryoko shook her head... though she did put some thought into learning it herself... to make Tenchi hers... "Stop right there heathens. You don't belong in these depths... and I'll not have you sullying the place," And a man in a NEON! Orange outfit stepped out of an alcove in the wall. "And I thought your voice was loud. Do you have to plug that in at night... or does it just need a light bulb?" "Neither I, dog, or this sword need to plug in at night Windbag!" "Don't they teach ANY manners in Hell?" "I'm evil... I have no need of manners." The Swords Grimwick and Windfang met in a cling the gods never intended to hear. Slash met counter met block thrust met dodge... "You wield Grimwick well... tell me how you found it... when I forged Windfang I hid that away. I told no one where I'd kept it. So how did you find it?" "Why I'm shocked you don't recognize me you miserable vomitous mass. Well guess you loathsome self hating prick feast!" "You three go... I'll be along when I can... else I'll break off when you return with the missing." Ami saw the match in fighting styles... and nodding told the others to follow her. "Hey Ami how can you leave him in there with that freakshow?" "They are part of the same whole... they must resolve the conflict... or be sundered forevermore. They are sundered as it is..." "That... that was... By Lucifer's Beard... it can't be!" "Who... wha?" "I'll explain later Ryoko. Let's concentrate on Tenchi and the missing boys." "Okay... right." MEANWHILE a few yards behind the vanishing girls... "Why must we fight?" "I will kill you... she favors you still... so I must kill you to gain it for me! She will be mine!!!" "My My... I think he means me... I'm so flattered... but easy now my Agent Orangé. There is plenty of me for both of you." "Is there enough Eldrick for me too?" Lossoth appeared," I've wanted to pay him back for some time." "You can't have him Lossoth he's mine!" "Ah but We both share Orange. we can share Eldrick... I'll give the scraps to you... just like I did with Orange." "My name is Orangé you cur! How dare you speak to the Lady of Depression that way?" "Because soon she can have this area... as it will be consumed to get me to my real home... the Known Dimensional Steps. Hell is so frightfully boring once you look at all the hate on Usenet... ripe for the picking... and Eldrick is part of my plan to return to reap that bounty. So hand him over, Joy." "Never... Orangé! Attack!" "HA!" The neon warrior slams into the back wall... black oozing from around the chest plates... "Bastard... You'll... pay... for that... Grim Fire Strike!... Exit Wound!" Eldrick took the chance while Lossoth was painfully pinned to the wall. "Wind of Silver Cuts... Laceration Storm!" Blood oozed all over Lossoth's body... it looked like they had won. Joy worried checked Orangé for damage. Hehe hehehehe! Fools! -resounded a voice from all around- You only sealed your fate! Lossoth's head rose and spoke in the same voice,"Fire consumes Air... making Ash which is Earth... Earth loses hidden Water making rivers due to Air's cooling... Water due to heat from Fire rises up... making Air... And by this... return... return Elements of Creation!" with a blinding flash a ball of white appears in Lossoth's hand,"Foolish... to both attack without retrieving your blades... foolish... Begone all of you... Begone... JOY!" "No never!" Orangé leaps up and his armor explodes the force knocking Joy against the back wall... bloodied from many wounds. "Now what will you do... 'Windboy'. Where'd THAT sword come from? Oh... I'm shaking... help he's going to stab me with a sharpened carrot stick!" "Die DEFILER!!!" Eldrick runs him through... pulling the blade out violently. "What... how... this actually... hurts... of course it won't Kill me but I'm curious... what was that?" "A Carrot sword..." "I don't understand." "Water hurts fire... carrots are taproots." Eldrick quietly walks over to Joy while Lossoth spits invective. "Are you alright?" "I've been better... I'll... I'll take him home for you... you go on... Ami probably needs you." "Right... Windfang... come." At the order the sword wrenched itself free of the spell. "Take Grimwick... he's yours... Thank you for the help with Lossoth." "Thank you... Eldrick," he heads down the tunnel. "Wait... we... were never meant to be right?" "No... no we weren't. I am wrong for you... as you are wrong for me. I fear we'll never come to terms with that... but I accept that." "Good. Cause I'll make you mine again one day." "Don't hold your breath." They parted company then both laughing to themselves. Narrator: Gotta love that backfill ---`-,{@ "No hard feeling Joy? Help me stop them from sealing me deeper." "No Lossoth... no. You dig yourself deeper of your own accord... none of it is my fault." "You can have Eldrick when I win." "Your grudge runs too deep... we'll just repeat this scene over and over again. History may repeat itself... but one shouldn't speed that up... Bye Lossoth... my rent will be paid in full... I'm clearing out. I'll send you shower vids to wank to alright?" "YAY!" "So easy to please." \Pawf\ is the sound of her exit. ELSEWHERE... "Damn they fight good... and that Damned Sheer... wandering around without an attacker and healing everyone... You'd think she wanted this battle to last forever..." Margo said while she caught her breath in her fight with Velvet. "Less talk more action!" Cried Ryoko as she let another volley blast into Thread only to be healed away... along with her own wounds by Sheer... who was obviously crazy in some way to heal BOTH sides... Ami had no time to talk as she and Lace continued the tug of war... Eldrick flew up the steps... coming in on the scene of women locked in combat with other women... "Now I have a new man to play with... the other was no fun... far too easy... my little strategist." "The game is up... Grimwick and Windfang are no longer part of the equation... so surrendered thy prisoners or taste my blade." "My what a filthy comeon... I hope you've bathed... hate to have to brush afterwards to get armor grit out of my teeth." "I wouldn't fuck you if you begged, and I certainly wouldn't give you the honor of sucking me off... much to special a thing to waste on the likes of you." "That's no way to talk to my... " Velvet gets tripped and sees two sharp pointy wingclaws aimed at her eyes. "Shut up or you become 'See no evil'" Margo cries triumphantly. Ami let's out a fierce cry as Lace is distracted and leaps over her and twists the tethers gripping her staff... neatly wrapping Lace up in her own weapons... while Thread without Sheer casting healing spells on her gets knocked down and a light sword placed at her throat. "Just you and me you armored stud... why don't we call it a draw... I'll put bubbles in too..." "Why don't we just get a bar of soap and wash your mouth out." "My smooth blade will cut you to ribbons!" "Certainly sharper than your wit." Sheer charges cutting horizontally... Through is armor on his arms... as he seems to only draw and place the blade back. "You lose." "But I cut you and you didn't harm me at all!" "My windfang cuts 5 feet before I draw the blade when I ask it nicely..." "Oh I'm shaking... so you've seen Kabuto... so?" and then she found out as the cloth buckle holding her belt closed slides in half... as do the other girls. "My... my powers!!! You cheat... Someone told you! Someone told!!!" "Come now... you are all in GAUDY gold lamee outfits... with belts... belts that match the type of fabrics you represent... I've seen an episode or 2 of Sailor Moon... I'm not a complete idiot you know. So I figured Windfang cuts those and poof... No run along home... before I get angry again..." "Better idea!" Ami draws a cube with her staff. "Greetings Deputy Ami Kintaro... haven't seen you in... days." "Got a whole 4 crazy evil girls for the prison in one go... can you send an envoy to hell to pick them up, Inquisitor Darhm?" "Should be there within the minute... they are in hazard suits... so be out by that time... Ami... Ami?" Narrator: Ami had already left in a portal to the entrance they'd come in via. And was stepping through that to the Erotique Boutique's former address by the third 'Ami' out of his lips... and Home in time to see Azusa arriving via Washuu entry portal. The Heaven's shook as a welcome back from Hell party commenced... and it wasn't like there wasn't enough room for the party either... as it was an outdoor picnic. In the morning, Hope was the first to stir. The night before had had her drinking and laughing with everyone else. Now everything was in a rush to be one with the septic system. That catastrophe averted she showered and considered the night's events... Azusa getting drunk on... ONE count 'em ONE glass of warm saki... The Hug Brigade of Mihoshi, Misaki and Konei... blasted out of their minds and hugging everyone as if breathing was a bad thing... the 48 hour blush Funaho had when she realized she'd drank one bottle too many... Ryoko... Aeka Queen of Tactlessness High lady of the Saki Bottle, boy did she get up close and personal... Actually wished she had a house full of men like Eldrick had a house full of women... Poor Tenchi... demanded of to pick a girl right that minute... fortunately for him he had the Azusa Gene and passed right out when he actually DID have a serving of the ol' rice wine... Ah the saki was good... Sasami and Astrala giggling like schoolgirls over everyone's drunkenness... talking about what they like in guys... that was cute... kawaii *scrub* kawaii *scrub* kawaii... And let's not forget the Nobuyuki and Yosho... err Katsuhito... whatever... kareoke... that was a blast... "Boy... did Washuu have alot to drink last night or what?" she asked the showerhead. "She must have been drinking Eldrick's share... not that he wanted any. Stoic Stoic Stoic... so admirable... dirty mind mental eyes out of his crotch! Although... if he had drank anything he'd have had to have slipped away... to be with one of us..." She went back to thinking... Too bad Haris passed out and had to be taken upstairs... She really should have told us about her rib damage... Demons just don't fight demons and walk away and heal... of course if Charhon had been at the party longer... she probably would have... well we all know what a closet perv she is... she probably would have been on a table dancing! You just can't fan dance... plastered. *Hope giggled at the thought*... *she sobered up* Poor Gerard... once the Saki hit the table he hit the security booth... bolted himself in it seems... Washuu said when she looked through the peephole she saw him diligently watching the outside cameras for trouble... Eldrick and Ami would have had to do any fight alone... I couldn't have even lifted a finger I was so wasted... Thankfully Washuu had those little pills to stave off hangovers for those who get them... Thank you Washuu. "Ah... refreshing!" She dried off and then wrapped a fresh towel around herself and walked back into the bedroom. Eldrick lifted his head to look over Ami's thigh. Ami looked down then over at Hope. "If I am interrupting..." "It's alright. You can watch or something if you like..." Ami smiled,"Pick or something," she said as she patted the bed,"The entire time you were in there he's been at me... and I'm so worried he'll get Blue Balls or something..." Hope sighed,"And I need it too... I'm such a sexaholic... *she giggled*" She slipped in between them leaving her towel on the floor,"Hey someone has morning breath... Eldrick... did you brush? *she cackled as he swatted her behind*" "It was like that when I got there," he grinned. "Oh yeah? Squeeze it off Hope when he gets in there," Ami teased. Eldrick thrust and Hope licked as Ami ran her hands through Hope's hair.... all in unison... like one being... one soul... thrust lick massage... "Um... ah... oh... yes... yes.... ahhhh! Huh?" said Ami as the Hallway door opened. "Eldrick I was wondering if we could... oh!" Astrala stopped mid sentence and dropped her blanket as her hand started trailing... Hope came explosively, and could do little more than roll to an unoccupied part of the bed. "Join... us... won't you... Astrala..." Hope managed between convulsions as Ami lent her fingers to maintaining Hope's multiple orgasm. "Can I be where Hope was?" The eager Astrala begged," Eldrick's never... I mean um..." "No problem," Eldrick said. "YES! Finally! Real sex not just anal! YAY!" She thrust her fist into the air in victory. "Are you gonna cheer all day?" Ami giggled. Astrala blushed and then ran in to take her position,"Is this going to hurt Miss... A... mi... oh... ah... mmmm..." Astrala bit her lip to avoid screaming out in rapture... then seeing Ami spread before her motioned for her to slide down mumbling something about being talented. Ami obliged and her eyes bugged out as she cooed... Astrala had shifted her tongue's shape and texture. It now snaked narrow and deep... and forked? Ami didn't care one bit... it was wonderful... Eldrick came hard... as did Ami finally... and Hope again with all the caresses she was getting from Ami and Astrala... and Just as Astrala was about to the rough and tumble in the security booth... battered the door down and Konei and Gerard rolled into the room. "Ouch..." "I didn't know I was being so rough Konei... I'm sorry." "Alright you... two... join us or abstain for 4 weeks... the purchase orders for that room are nightmares..." "Oh we'll join then... you set him off." "Konei... you attacked me!" "Shhh... just join... US!... ah..." Hope said as she came... again. Konei Stood up off the floor and bent over onto the bed... sliding up to wet her whistle in Hope's moist folds. Gerard took a speed cue from Eldrick, and began thrusting like a madman as Astrala's delayed orgasm shook the bed as she beat her wings against her back. Hope's panting mouth was met by Ami's tongue as her hand brought her face in range. At some point Haris had entered and was sitting on Hope's face... and Charhon was soon after licking the sweat off of Eldrick as her hands rubbed over every inch of him... Margo pissed that Eldrick was late for her appointment in the Training room was soon laying on Hope playing with Konei's tongue in Hope's pleasant valley as Haris turned and leaned forward to pleasure her sister. Everyone heard as Ardice came in the doorway... unable to enter the room until she'd cleared her thoughts with her hand. And then she was in the fray under Charhon's face... who was now being pleasured by Eldrick's hand... and Ardice herself being pleasured by Ami's hand. The better part of the day had been burned by Joy simply watching the scene from the corner of the room... invisible to even sixth senses... All she wanted to do was either Kill him... or probe him with her riding crop like she used to... not that he remembered the days she treasured most... for she had stolen his memories of them to make hers more vivid... Like the day his final solo experiment with the super fuel had failed... @ [ {-=---Ť That's a Timewarp/flashback icon -Zin] "No... NOT AGAIN!!! Damnit computer I don't care if it is down to .0001 percent pollutants in the exhaust! It needs to make pure damn air!!" Eldrick then punched in his fourth monitor that week. "I'll never get this perfect... never!" He pounded his head into the keyboard. |There now... where's the man I love hiding... are you trying to break him out of the keyboard with your head? I don't think he's in there.| "Hi Joy... I don't feel much like company right now... sorry." "Tough beans," she said as she materialized... Tall... bouncy and panty-less ash she always was when she planned to visit him,"You see my riding crop misses that lovely ass of yours my round little boy... and valley longs for those talented fingers... and you know what my mouth wants." "But..." "SILENCE WORM!" She punctuated with a robe slicing crack of her riding crop across his back,"I will tell you what to say and when to say it!" "Ye-ouch! Time out! I don't feel like this!!" "Tough Beans," she cracked him across the shoulders shredding his robe with 3 swift cracks... the last of which clanging on metal. "Don't make me hurt you..." he turned back to look at her the headband gleaming in metal not cloth like it is when he's expecting to fight... this time he was preparing to kill. "Mustn't get blood on the CPU! *she warped them to the Training room* Here... you can try to kill me here Warrior of the Frustration Clan... with your Bread Knife or Air... but I might just kill you with one stroke... I grow bored of your laughable desire for combat when sex is SOOOO much more interesting... don't you think?" She baited him playing with her breasts like he wasn't even there. "DIE DEVIL!!!!!!!!!!!!" His armor went black... a helmet appeared over his head horns swept back and down growing out of the armor... and he grabbed his sword out of nothing. "Lightning hear me... Death Arc!" The sword filled with power lunged forward... but in one stroke of her riding crop it was embedded in the wall and she was on her knees before him clawing open his armor like a Cracker Jack box... she inhaled the prize inside. Blows rained down on her... deflected by her personal shield as she slid it in and out of her mouth... smacking her lips in hunger she waited for the manna to course down her throat. His blows became weaker... as she sucked the frustration out of him with his seed. Soon his hands stopped their flailing as his knees buckled and his armor vanished like dust in a strong wind. She shifted so his fingers could reach her... he hadn't earned the right to taste her... but he'd earn it soon... even if she had to stay here for weeks... Months if need be... fun months... She came and stood up... as she rendered him unconscious with a light touch on his forehead. She then setup her "Gymnasium". Weapon racks, soon held probes of every kind... some so alien they probably weren't even fun to the victim... Coils of fibrous ropes of all kinds... all strengths... Restraints from A to Z. Then she bound him up on her scaffolding... Legs tied to arms tied to a bar that the legs were hooked over placing his manliness at mouth level for her 6'5"/77inch/195.58cm height. She climbed a stepladder and tied his arms to the Punching bag hook on the ceiling. Pulling out a narrow gauge she tied his forearms together... on the familiar scar. "Ah my little reminders are still here..." She leaned forward and licked the scars... already blood flowing from them since they hadn't healed from last week's fiery escapades. "No fire this session... though the smell of burning flesh is just so," she was so caught up she touched herself. Mock blushing she went back to binding him... choosing a thick hemp the wrap around the forearm loop trailing it down his spine and placing the sweat ball to hold the rope in place she wrapped his chest and tied it like a little cute bow in the back... she then attached the wires to the sweat ball and clipped the electrodes to his nipples. "A little electricity never hurt anyone right doll?" He of course was still ensorcelled and didn't respond. She carefully opened his mouth and put the ball in... wrapping the tied just under his ears. "Wake up my precious... wake up," she licked his foot as she dropped the spell on him. He didn't wake instantly... he drifted into rem sleep. "Humph." she swatted his buns with her crop. He just mumbled and farted. "Hehehehe," she had an idea and licked the sweat ball, and tightened the rope binding his torso... burning him as his chest tried to expand for air to scream again. He blinked and looked around and then down when he realized his... altitude. "Hi doll... it's fun time. Today I'm not going to stop until you scream out in orgasm... the wedding march... as if we were getting married." She swatted his buns till he had big red welts. "Now to make sure I don't get anything on my toys..." She pulled out "Bertha" her 12 oz. enema needle," Pucker up for the good stuff." "Gotta love KY," she added as he screamed... and emptied into her collector... which she then emptied into his anvil's furnace around the corner... any stink channeling up and out. "So nice having a nice hot anvil furnace... it was really handy last week..." She said pausing once in the middle to lick the pre cum off of his cock. "Now for the heart of the matter..." she said as she slid her riding crop into his backside... mouth wrapped soon after around his cock... waiting. Soon his breathing turned to grunts... and he came,"Oh I love that almost girlish moan you make... But that was the wrong note... I said The Wedding song as I call it. Perhaps the ball is making you sound flat. I could remove it... but no biting your tongue again... I have 400 Phoenix Downs left... and I'd hate to lose another... because then I put the ball back in your mouth. Shall I remove it? *he shook his head* Wrong answer!" She licked a dribble from the tip of his cock and placed it on the sweat ball... the water drained out of it and into the ball completing the circuit. He screamed as the voltage ran into him... soon the water burned off. "She what you made me do you little worm... I had to hurt you... she had to hurt the worm in bonds... you don't want me to hurt the worm again... do you? *he shook his head in defeat* Will you not bite your tongue then? *he shook his head* And will you come for me... and Sing the right note each time you come? *he nodded* Oh such a good little worm you are. I'll be nice too and remove this little old sweat ball... shall I remove the clips too? *he shook his head* I knew you liked them." 6 weeks passed... he didn't know the full song... and each time he failed she made his start over, but... by the second week she'd had the ropes off... by the third he was on the ground again... for the 5th and 6th weeks... he was standing in front of her while she worked on both his ends stroking his fingers through her hair lovingly as he hummed notes until he came and then he'd switch notes. He was down to a 2 minute reload. Then... she let him at her... he had earned the right to lick her to orgasm. And she came instantly... she hadn't so much as touched herself... and the tension had built to where she had been on the verge of coming simply from the oral stimulation. She nearly stopped the circulation to his tongue as her muscles contracted. Never had she come so hard... so fast... "I love you Eldrick..." "And I you Joy." In her happiness at hearing that she made a near fatal mistake. She HOPED... she hoped they could continued this forever. Her power dropped to an ebb and he lapsed instantly into a coma. He had been buoyed entirely by her power and now suddenly his body had a backlog it couldn't account for. "Eldrick... Eldrick? ELDRICK!" She cried into his hair. She teleported them to his room... and contacting a Apothecary... began the week long IV drip to return his body to normal. Crushed that she'd nearly killed him... she took the memories from his mind for her own... lest he attempt to take her for weeks again... for she would never remember to stop him once aroused... and trusting his care to the Apothecary she'd left then. # [ {-=---Ť Your face as we re-enter the present and you launch into a wall -Zin] Eldrick heard a drop of water hit the ground in the corner... he looked over while Hope came again to his rearward advances. He saw Joy then... and wordlessly motioned her over with his left arm and made his hand in her favorite shape. Elated she came over... and her voice soon joined everyone elses' as everyone came at once. She removed his hand... and kissed the scar on that forearm... she then stepped back... and teleported away. IN THE HALLWAY... Sasami asked in a whisper,"Did your pill not work and they are having a group headache?" "Not exactly," replied Washuu. Sasami's mouth made an 'O' "You get downstairs and hit the kitchen... they need nutrients..." "Right! I think I saw some Gatorade in the refrigerator last night," Sasami called over her shoulder. "And I'll see if I can get them down there," She walked into the room... took one look and pulled out her digital recorder to give them a nice holograph of the moment. "Eldrick have you guys been at this ALL DAY?" He turned to face Washuu then extracted himself. "Yep... well nearly... I suppose... actually it's all a blur of moaning and wailing and thrusting." "Well I'll take that as a yes... Come on... you are the only one Standing... so you get to help me get towels on these people." "Why am I even still able to stand?" "You don't want to pass out is all... it's all will power... so keep that will to stand up... up and help me get everyone down to the dining room. Sasami is going get you people something besides sex in you." Eldrick nodded and grasped the groping hand of Hope,"It's time to eat. *she opened her mouth* No... I mean food. *she mumbled something that sounded like no... I want cock... but the experts are still out on if that is what she said or not.* Upsie daisy." She grabbed onto him and reflexively kissed him,"Oops... sorry." "Quite alright. Now stand up." "Gotcha," she wobbled but managed to stay upright. Washuu arrived with enough towels to dry everyone off and "clothe" them. "Is the sex over?" Haris asked as she was dried off. "Yes Haris it is," Washuu cheerily replied. "That's great mom... I'm hitting the sack then. I think I hit the headboard..." "Obviously if you think I'm your mother." "Made ya blink." "Is everybody drunk on pleasure here but me?" "Yeppidly depidily do!" Hope announced. "To the elevator then. I don't think you guys can handle stairs. No more overindulging like this. Next time I might not be here in the nick of time to get some vitamins into you. And no making jokes about that." Charhon chanted,"Washu's horny Washuu horny." "I am not. Into the Elevator you all... I'm taking the stairs," she said as she pushed the button for them. She met them downstairs... made sure no one was attached to anyone else... and then lead them to the dining room where Sasami had whipped up some Okonomiyaki, and Gatorade... and just enough saki for one glass each. Everything else was lost to the mists of time after Sasami told them they could start. After the meal they thanked Sasami and Washuu... and watched them depart... then fell asleep in the "Light" of the "Setting Sun" on the grass. The End. =0==0==0==0==0==0==0==0==0==0= =0==0==0==0==0= Hi every body. Audience: Hi Eldrick! Tonight I plan to do something truly... bizarre. I'm going to write a new In the Company of Hope chapter... Audience: OoooH! ... I'm going to add a think piece to it... at least I plan to right now... Audience: Ahhh!! ... and maybe... just maybe... bring in some of the "excitement" you all have come to expect from my depravity... Audience: Mmmmmm!!! Alright cut... cut... get the Tentacle Beasts out of the audience chamber... out with the naughty tentacles and the beasts they are attached to... oh look at that mess... get me a new audience. This one's all sticky. Now that I have your attention (sealed in this box I'm holding) we have a disclaimer... I know you haven't seen one in ages... but this one needs a few. I'm not a real person... I'm a character... My name is Eldrick Tobin and I will your guide and host for this spectacle. I'm not speaking in quotes right now because well... it isn't entirely necessary. Disgusting as it may be to some of you... be that as it may... like most fictional characters I'm just a puppet for a person with mental problems and psychological hangups *cue tooth gleam smile* But enough about my puppeteer... and me ... because well I'm a self insertion character. So I'm part of the gratuitous story series you all despise and talk to your therapists about. That's right... Ami Tales... now known as in the Company of Hope due to story changes back in Ami Tales 7. But we aren't to get into that here. After all you read it already. *cue absolute silence* *hangs head* Well it was worth the grasp. *tosses microphone away... removes the smoking jacket and stands before you in his standard boring attire... black pants... long sleeved blue shirt... and a black cape.* Hi... you might know me better this way... no stupid tooth gleams... no useless gameshow host poses... just one of the messed up mass known as humanity. Or at least the puppet of a human who is... great... I'm rambling. Anyway within you will see some of the standard ICH fare... as well as Guests against their will... the Fanboys! from Curse of the Fanboys! Of course my puppeteer would love to say he's going to ace this portrayal of pain and sorrow in the Fanboys!'s lives... but he's not that good... You've read AT and ICH... you know what to expect. Gratuitous Nudity on Margo's part, Ego hording all the ice cream, Hope trying to relax on her vacation, Ami in a towel... Ami... This is the final cut... one shot... come on get dressed. Ami: What? I thought you weren't going to do this tonight. I changed my mind... Ami: Then I shall change back into something more appropriate. *she giggles* My costume is still on the rack here... I'll just be a second. *she drops the towel and slinks into her dress* HEY! Get that camera off my Ami Kintaro right now... I'm the only pervert here!!! That's better. Ami K: But I'm dressed already. *cue sweatdrop* Can someone send this to props... we don't need it just yet. Ami: Got it... Come here little sweat drop... you're early... just sit right here... there. *she pats it* I gave it a copy of the script... it won't mess up now. Yay. So anyway... my beloved Ami Kintaro... flashing the camera... *she giggles* Ardice, Astrala, Konei, and Haris. Haris: Why are you mentioning me last huh? Well um... I saved the best for last. Haris: That won't work next time... there won't be a camera next time. A barely clad woman -think Chocolate and Tira Misu... now subtract clothing: Am I in time? I felt Eldrick get all depressed and just had to pop over... being my job and all. Hi Joy. Join the melee. Joy: I got the whips and chains... JUMBLE: WE KNOW!!! Joy: Oh... well I'll be pouring hot wax over my thighs over there on the sidelines until I'm needed. Ahem... Mr Cameraman... focus over here... I don't care if she's hot! You are being paid to film this event... Fine I'll double it... and yes you can set up a small camera to record her and her antics. Joy: I'll set that camera right here... it won't miss anything. The girl introduced as Konei: Joy... isn't that painful to place the camera between your breasts? Joy: Nope. Konei: Oh... well nevermind then... I was just asking really. Jumble: Hush! Konei: Sorry. Margo: When are we getting to the meat of this? I must get my beauty sleep. My skin must be perfect for you in the morning. Margo... where's your costume? Margo: I prefer the one I was born with. I am so happy I was modeled after Urd... don't you agree Mr. Cameraman? Well I guess I better finish my disclaimer... Astrala... be so kind to hold up these cue cards for the camera. Astrala: Sure thing Eldrick. Let's see this is the first one... there... ready! ^.^ This --,-'{@ will announce a Fanboys! Section start and this @}'-,-- will announce an end and return to ICH "continuity" This { announces a semi real life section (it's closer to IRL than this is at least) and this } the end of a segment like that. If you want to skip some more unmeaningful monologue... ==+== marks the start and end of the story itself. Now why don't I call this a fanfic... or a revengefic... or a fanfanfic? Because those are all just titles... and what do you call a revengefic in a fanfic and both are in entirely different continuities? you call it a story and save some mental trauma... that's for the the story itself to incur. No I will not pay your therapy bills. =0==0==0==0==0==0==0==0==0==0= Chapter 5 { As some may know I talk about my character reading the news groups and perusing items and the like. Sometimes fluidly talking about him one minute and me the next. During one of these sessions he found the Fanboys! for me and I read them for us. (Getting Borg flashbacks? I am) And we read them and it was good... but Where was ChibiUsa. } Obligatory Chaos: Hopefully back in her future and out of our hair the little spore. { Chaos ... look up. } ObChaos: *looks up in time to see a raspberry the size of a London bus smack down upon him with righteous wrath... and stuff* Itai... ObPesti: You are definitely doing your OWN laundry... I'll have my own trouble with mine. You okay Mayhem... oh... I'll get the kettle. ObMayhem(Newt): Can I please check out of this now? { Actually no... you are prisoners... but this is a resort prison... i'll be beating up stunt doubles from now on Stunt Doubles: o.0 Or rather Eldrick will... I'll simply be directing things... like a good author would... or at least trying miserably. So sit back relax enjoy the company of your favorite senshi... Oh yeah... I closed the door behind you guys. oh you can remove the duct tape from Carnage's mouth now. } ObCarnage: You kidnap us... and now you are going to do some bizarre MSTing of our MSTing? What's next you going to grope the senshi in front of us? Setsuna: Anyone touches me without asking... Havoc: Puu-chan! Setsuna: De... oh *she says as Monty Python-esque fingers grab Havoc... and places him next to the fair Minako-chan... with the Jacket hanging over him like the pendulum on a clock... tick tock tick tock* Thanks. { No Problem... Rei Next to Carnage... Miyu on the other side... Larva... loom. Pestilence next to Makoto, Chaos other side... Hotaru on his left... between him and Makoto. Haruka behind Chaos... Michiru in Haruka's lap. } Haruka: *coughs into fist* { Spoil sport... okay Michiru next to Haruka... Setsuna on the other side of Haruka... that'll put you directly opposite Havoc. Should keep the drafts away. Back to the front row... Ami-chan next to Pesti with Mayhem on your left. One combustion Mayhem and it's flame retardant whip cream spray for you. Enjoy Ami-chan ^.~ Usagi you're next to Setsuna, with Mamoru to your left... then Naru and Umino respectively. Umino... give Havoc back his Tama-ecchi. Thank you.[Naru-chan and Umino will be spared speaking roles... I needed to fill seats] And last but not least... Front row center left... ChibiChibi, and front row center right ChibiUsa. For everyone's sake Anarchy and Tasuki are in the back room behind you next to the refreshment counter in the soundproof Kareoke room. They can hear but not participate. [Yes I drew a diagram... proud of me aren't you... I didn't think so.] Fire up Wordpad it's time to make something really bizarre. Places everyone... lights... keyboard... action!! ==+== His eyes almost bled... how could they do that... rescue or no rescue... how COULD they do that. .o0(Aren't they human? They wouldn't like having that happen to them.)0o. Then it hit him... he could do it to them. He could pay them back for how they treated her. He could have revenge in her name. The Setup. He called in a favor in email... Eldrick was never good at patience... but he would be for this. He paced in front of the console pushing his chair in... he was eager to get underway... his patience hadn't lasted a minute. "Come on Fuji... answer my email... ANSWER IT! ANSWER NOW OR I'LL NEVER AGREE TO HAVE A ROLE IN Clones of Our Lives AG-" the email bot came back with his response. "YAY! *he hopped about like a four year old... or Toddler Ryo-ohki tagging along behind Sasami in Tenchi Muyo: Ryo-ohki episode 13 [Go watch it it's silly... NOW! *some time later* Silly right? Good.]* They don't need it for a whole day... more than enough time... oh it's an attachment!" Sure enough a large device plopped out of subspace by the console. Eldrick grabbed it with glee and ran down the stairs to another device. In a flailing wind of arms and machine parts... the 2 machines were joined... and linked into the computer system for the house. A presence loomed,"Hey where'd you put the ice cream maker? Oh you didn't... someone's been practicing I'm a mad genius again... So what's this mess do... { Ego: I hate contractual obligations. } "Well you see... the holo-scripter... and the VR world generator have been linked to form a device that can mimic continuities and write the results... you basically set it like a VCR," Eldrick finished for the baffled disembodied Ego of his with it's visibility impaired self. "Can it also make Ice Cream?" "Why not just order some from the online store?" "I feel like roughing it." Someone stormed up the steps with a ladel," More like rough up my kitchen. The materials for my okonomiyaki are dancing on the counter tops. it's almost as bad as one of Margo... I mean Urd's spells." Ego sighed,"How else can I do physical labor than magic, Astrala?" Astrala told the air,"You could ask for help." "ME! An Ego... need help from a Parasite?! Never... you Physicals can go take a leap... I'll kill the spell and order online instead... faster than using the ice cream maker anyway." The presence known as Ego... left up the stairs... for to go through the floor would do nasty things due to the subspace fields in place all over the 4 story domestic unit. A beautiful woman... you'd think it was Urd at first glance comes down the stairs... clad in nothing. { Fanboys: SUGOI! Senshi: Ahem. Fanboys: o.0;; } "What's all the commotion... Ego just passed me on the deck by the pool... I was enjoying a nice beauty nap when I heard him do his ice cream scream and zoom passed me for the heliport. I assume he's been online again?" "Yep. Maybe a minute ago he ordered MORE ice cream. Typical neh, Margo?" "Of course. He's a glutton for ice cream... I have other tastes." "NO SEXUAL ADVANCES TODAY... I'm working on the power of vengeance today." "So you want to spank me for walking around naked again? Be gentle." Eldrick steps back making warding gestures,"No not that at all... I'm getting even with some fell otaku." "With a subspace Ice Cream maker?" *face faults into a wall at sublight speed* "Ow... no... *pulls himself off of the wall with a popping sound as he UN-sd's* it's not an Ice Cream maker... even though that IS a component... not I made the holoscripter part of the VR world generator..." Astrala gasped,"That thing Fuji-san said you made for his fanfic series?!? Isn't that still broken?" "Well I fixed it... and can unfix it later if need be for his plot continuity. And speaking of continuities... this can break the continuity barrier and give me a simulated world of another world." "Like what it was supposed to do before?," a gorgeous dark redhead said stepping out of the stairwell. "My dear Ami... It's fixed now... it won't send me there... but all the rules normally applying there will apply herein... and allow me to do what I like to mine enemies without them actually feeling it." { Mayhem: No good can come of this. Havoc: Hai... Jello? Mayhem: No. Desolation walks in: Hi all... I miss anything yet? Not really... have a seat. Chaos: And before you make a crack about sitting next to ... The Product of Usagi and Mamoru's love... consider the crater over there where this wonderful author dropped a ... Desolation: raspberry the size of a crosstown London bus on you? Carnage: He caught on quickly. *Larva moves over by Desolation, and points to Desolation's seat. Desolation quickly takes it... ChibiChibi tries to fill Desolation in on what he's missed* Desolation: You mean I'm only a few minutes in? Yes now hush... You are filibustering my hurting of you. Chaos: Hai we are f... of course we are! Hush. *a gameboy cartridge "jewel" case falls on Chaos from above.* Chaos: That was weak. I have better. Chaos *sprouting kitty ears*: I'm shutting up. Else I'll let Rampage and Catastrophe out of the Kareoke room... I could do that you know... would you like that. Chaos: KYAAAAAAAAA!!!! Pesti to Mayhem: This guy sounds like Kagato did in the TM Episode 5 dub. Mayhem to Pesti: Why did you watch a dub? SILENCE! Ahem. } Ami smiled,"I'll go get everyone not in attendance.... I'm so proud." Ego commented,"I'm nauseated." "I thought you got ice cream," Margo crossed her arms. { Havoc: Gainax all the way! Minako: Na-chan! } Ego belches," I did... I'm done... had to run the delivery guy all the way to the Masaki home... said it was easier to swing back on the delivery than to dump here then there." "Any tagalongs?" Eldrick hid behind his inventions. "Why in the Known Dimensional Steps... would I ever tell Washuu that you've concocted a new Invention?" "Because you know she'll make me squirm... and it would be rude of me to rebuff her?" A ringing bell on a collar announced Konei -infamous cat-girl like and Mihoshi school of thinking demonette of ICH-,"You're going to boff someone... oh my... oh my!" "No I didn't say that." That familiar voice to Tenchi Fans -hear which ever voice you prefer... Dub or Japanese-,"So what did ya say?" Eldrick looked at Ego -as he is the only one who can see him... err it-,"We are going to have a talk later." Ego's response was plainly visible on the shadow he projected on the wall... a raspberrying smiley face. "So this the device... what's an ice cream maker doing here? Oh I see. Pressed for time were you?" "Kind of Washuu. It was pretty spur of the moment... I have righteous wrath to deliver unto mine enemies." "Oh... fun... he's ranting about "Mine Enemies" again. Charhon... wake me when he's done." "How rude of you Haris... you should Apologize to Eldrick." { Washuu to the audience: When Charhon and Haris are around I always feel at home. Desolation: That because they look like Aeka and Ryoko respectively? Washuu: No attitude... and you'll find Haris has some differences from my Ryoko just like there are differences between Aeka and Charhon. Desolation: I don't see any. Haris from the stage: I don't go around telling you how to get dismembered do I? Charhon: Now now Haris... a simple "Smile when you say that Cretin!" is all the rebuff they need. *ChibiUsa pats SD Desolation on his shoulder... who nearly jumps out of his skin.* *The author pitches a wrench at Desolation* *cue band-aid on Desolation's nose* } "Sorry Eldrick." "That's just my pheromones making you say that..." "No it was rude of me... I was about to apologize... really Eldrick." "Unhand my belt, Haris." { Pesti: o.0 How self gratuitous. Mayhem: Hai... popcorn? Pesti: You aren't carrying any... Mayhem: I know... I was going to sneak to the snack bar for the rest of the show. *Mayhem gets hit by a Pokéball with a squirtle inside who waterguns him and returns to the Author* Mayhem's Sign: Thanks. Pesti: I got the kettle... } "That had to do with your pheromones. You are just so irresistible." { Carnage: I know the feeling... Tenchi Masaki syndrome my ass. This is different... it's the airborne variant... fortunately it isn't contagious... nor does it affect more than my current female contingent of the cast. Carnage: Oh I'm going to have to hurt you for this. DIL Pickle Carnage: BRAND! *Carnage gets hit with a sweet and sour sauce covered pickle* What the! Miyu: Let me help you out of that Shirt. Rei: Let me help you clean all that off. *Rei and Miyu lock eyes.* No fighting girls... AUTHOR INVOCATION... UNNATURAL SHARING!!! *the Girls smile at each other and contentedly sigh glomping onto an arm each* Carnage: ;.; I am so evil. } Eldrick hung his head and reclaimed his belt... tempted to superglue himself into his clothes to keep the girls out... well except for Ami... and Hope. The Same hope who was currently glomped onto his arm listening to him now explain what the device does to everyone. Copy a fanfic or anime world for rampant destructive purposes... in this case... why with that device Hotaru could be forever happy with Her Chaos-chan... or Ami-chan be with her Mayhem without him being covered in flame retardant whip cream... or a world where Rei and Miyu have their own Carnage to glomp onto... without having to go through the bother of cloning. And so explanation conveniently gotten out of the way "Before an inflight movie joke could be made like 'Baretsu Hunters goto the beach and whip big breasted anime babes who take their tops off for Rei Hino's Grandfather.' { Rei: o.0 } And so we find our... no he isn't a hero... so he's a being... and so we find our being... in his Valkyrie Flight suit that is now wired into the VR world generator... which is still booting... *grumbles can be heard* "You should have taken the time to have written a custom OS... you never would have made this mistake when you were still my student," Washuu sighed and patted him on the shoulder... he flinched... she grinned. "Of course in my ongoing project to get a sample from all sexually active males in the KDS... I still don't have yours... it just doesn't survive the trip out... can I get a new one? it'll only take about 30 minutes... tops... this should be done by then." "Urm... ah... well... oh look it's done booting." Charhon made choral hand gestures as everyone mouthed along with Washuu ,"Oh you're so mean." Washuu noticed. "I could still make a demonette just like me... it's not that difficult. Just a few number crunched here and there and an sterile demon egg and..." A jumble of voices voiced apologies. Washuu performed her giggle. Eldrick's helmet produced a sweatdrop... which disconnected from the non-stick helmet of the hardened version flight suit and splashed on the device activating it. --,-'{@ The Culmination. He looked around the new setting... time seemed to be going by really fast until it settled... actually it was going backwards *Washuu fiddled rapidly to get the thing stabilized before Eldrick was catapulted pre-fanboys TOO far.* He looked at himself... in horror. The gloves... the flowing outfit... the ... cotton balls? He was in some odd Juraian outfit. { Mayhem: the author watches way too much Tenchi Muyo... Pesti: ^.^;; hai. } He mentally checked his power list... both combat sets were listed... the performance set... everything checked out... till he saw something disturbing. "Seiryo Entrance 0001" "Oh no. o.0 I must look like Seiryo.... Oh no! I don't even sound like me... I sound like... Kagato? There's a stretch... practically the same voice in America." "America? /You must be looking for the embassy which is right over there/" a woman told him in Japanese. .o0(Better get the translation software running.)0o. *In the "real" world Eldrick's finger glided across the Washuu'esque keyboard hovering before him. He ran the former sentence passed him... the software was buggy... he got it after a few tries... he sent to process runner to a higher notch... and Washuu repaired that damage... he was gonna owe her later. { Pesti: Ecchi. Who's the more ecchi... the hentai or the one who infers someone else is? *cue Pesti's sweatdrop* } He keyed in the auto translation of his own speech... that worked... of course everyone else sounded like the principal in Ranma 1/2 at least language wise. He set off to the embassy to try to get himself housing somewhere... or at least learn of some. He got a nice place... face it when a place is haunted... you get it for a song. Akuryo Taisen in the key of B flat. Little did he know... he'd be spending a MONTH in the anime world before the fanboys arrived. A month to familiarize himself with Tokyo... and take all those lovely enrollment entrance exams. Why did he has to be a little older? At least the community college was down the street from where the Fanboys would soon be staying. 2 times a day he could enact his ... { Ardice: Righteous Wrath upon his enemies? Yep. *cue the facefaults... but not at sublight* } The Arrival of the Quarry. { Usagi: Sugoi! He's going to mine for gems or something? Minako: He could get a diamond for Na-chan to give me. Hotaru: And one from my Chaos-chan. *she snuggled up to him* Haruka: Chaos... please step away from Hime-chan... so I can ... Hotaru: Haruka-poppa, Chaos-chan can't do anything with you watching. Setsuna: If Nagumo can steal your panties with you knowing of it before hand... and HE'S a fanboy... need I say more? Michiru: Ara, but Chaos is so harmless. I'm watching them 'Ruka. Don't worry so. } He had changed his look - finding the twist ring that put him in his battle gear helped alot... looking like Seiryo is one thing after all. He'd reworked his translation program so it worked better -Actually Ryo-ohki arrived with a replacement from Washuu lab unbeknownst to him. School was hectic... just like he remembered college... fortunately... he had a knack for art -programmed in- and had picked classes based around that. @}'-,-- Washuu frowned,"I sure hope he doesn't overdo the program module... it got hit the worst by that damned sweatdrop... What's in those things anyway?" "Miss Washuu... you have one right now... let me get it for you," Washuu panics... and is stunned when Konei retrieves it without splattering it over her. "I'm... I'm impressed... Mihoshi would have drenched me with that." "Wow really!" In her zeal she claps her hands together... guess what. "Oops." "There goes that plan," a raincloud appears over Washuu head. "By the way... what are the props doing outside of the device?" "We're bored," is thrust out of the cloud on a sign. --,-'{@ And of course right when he had the perfect plan to intercept the fanboys right as they arrived in the world... right when he would get them for what they hadn't done just yet... there was a knock at his door. He answered it. "Hello you don't know me, but I've heard of you and I was wondering... ah... I don't know how to put this..." The man clutched a set of plans to his head and chuckled. "Greetings Mr. Tsukino, how can the humble Max Sterling be of assistance," He shot a dark look over his shoulder as he felt a ghost become interested in the doings at the door. .o0(I missed one)0o. "Yes well... I had planned to be home today, but the contractor just called... and so I can't be at the house to look after... well she's sick you see... and I heard you have the day off because you are ahead in class... not that I've been spying on you since you bought this haunted place but I do know you need the money and..." "I'll be glad to help..." .o0(Blast... Plan A ruined.)0o. " is she coming here or?" "Well to be honest I know you don't have the money to skip town so... I know it's rude of me to say that..." "Not at all. I am a stranger to you. If you are willing to trust me at your house for even an hour that is an honor in and of itself. I have to get a canvas and a drop cloth..." "Oh this is a load off of my mind. I'll put a good word in for you with the Neighborhood council -they are the ones spying on "That guy in the haunted house'." "Have no fear, I'll endeavor my best Florence Nightingale impression," Mr Tsukino sweatdropped,"Something the matter?" "Just worried for her... Usagi's at school, My Wife's running errands... this is a big help," he smiled and checked his watch and jumped 4 feet straight into the air and his feet tried to run on oxygen alone,"I'm already 5 minutes late!" .o0(I thought adults seldom went SD... This better be as accurate as possible... well barring personal injury of course.)0o. He shook his head gathered what he needed and headed over to the Tsukino home. Door: *knock knock* "Who's down there?" "Max Sterling... Mr. Tsukino asked me to come over." --,-'{@ Chaos: Here I was hoping he'd say "My name's Luke Skywalker I'm here to rescue you from yourself vile spore." WHAT WAS THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ChibiUsa: I know... don't like me. ;.; There now don't cry... *Author glares at fanboys* @}'-,-- "Same thing happened at my last school... I fully understand. May I come in." "I think the door is open..." It was... Mr. Tsukino was in a hurry. "You'll have to direct me... Up the stairs and... where?" "Over here," she waved from a doorway. "Ah-ha. I'm here to keep you company and get you anything until Mrs. Tsukino gets back from her errands right? Where are my manners... Greetings and salutations, I am Max Sterling," he said before bowing. "I'm called ChibiUsa by Usagi and her friends... sometimes worse. Do you know Usagi?" "Only heard of her. Never met her, I've probably passed her on the way back from college.

You can watch if you like." "Sugoi!" He whittled away at the unfinished painting with deft stroke and a careful hand... and a half hour later. "Wow... looks like I could reach out and touch it... what kind of vase is that?" "Old milk bottle... I thought a vase but a nice picture of a simple flower that a girl might have gotten as a corsage and has nurtured since the prom would be nice... at least if the corsage was acquired from a florist I know back in the States... he never cuts the floor back farther than necessary and wraps the stem for damage into the corsage bracelet... His you can take out and put in vases if you like." "Wow... is this any particular girl?" "Well... yes... it's how I hope she remembers me... as a flower in a vase in her bedroom window gazing at her reverently." "What happened?" "She got into a Swiss school... and I didn't... I decided to travel to Japan to find a muse ... still haven't yet... hence I have no money save a painting or 2 on the side." "Oh... sounds sad... perhaps you didn't try hard enough?" "Perhaps... you want me to make a sketch of you?" He pulled out a charcoal pencil and pad. "Really?!" "Yep... Just sit right there." He sketched slowly ever line of her face from hair to chin he missed nothing. He even gave the sketch a smile. "WOW! Can I keep this?" "Well it isn't done yet... but I suppose." "Arigatou!" From below,"I'm back. You doing okay up there?" "That's my cue... be well ChibiUsa." "Bai!" Below. "Greetings and salutations... now that you are back Mrs. Tsukino, may I go? I have another assignment I must start.... it's not due till next week but... I'd hate to fall behind." She just blinked and nodded. He left the house with a bow and a smile. "Chibi... what was that about... who's that boy? Is that that Sterling kid?" "Yeah... and look what he did for me," she shows the sketch. "You did thank him right?" "I made sure to. You think Usagi will want to see this?" "Perhaps. Now the doctor said you need to take this..." *cue scene fade* --,-'{@ Intermission.

Washuu faults into the floor* Washuu: How did you do that?! Konei: Well being that the author and Eldrick have the same scent... roughly... I just followed my nose to the keys Ardice's wingtip brushed. Washuu: Well that's amazing... but look at the date... and look... the lock bolt came out... but he's still inside there. Konei: Something's very wrong. Haris: That is an understatement, Konei... we had a disaster only to have another. Desolation: I miss anything? Mayhem: Konei Mihoshi'd us into and right back out of a jam. Eldrick's got sweat coming out of the feet of his hardened Valkyrie flight suit... and the popcorn from the concession stand is better than it was earlier. Desolation: Sugoi... which way! Gerard: I shall bring you some... please be seated Fanboy Desolation. Pesti: You said that like a title... Gerard: Yes I did Fanboy Pestilence. Carnage: Are you a Zentron? Gerard: Yes Fanboy Carnage. Carnage: I bet that has something to do with explaining it... just not sure how. Well what a fine mess... that date puts us... after the Satellite Striking of Tokyo. Just... before H2Omake... or are we after? I know we aren't to MST2... the cause of all this. Havoc: Hotcha... Planet Hentai. Thinking about that place gives me the desire for Jello! Ego: Can I have some? You don't want to know the special ingredients Ego. Ego: I can eat bad flavors of Carnation Ice Cream... I know no food fear. *Ego takes it against STRONG objections... Usagi asks for some and is stopped from getting her hands on any... and is given candy bars instead.* Ego: hey I think I know what's in here... Chaos and Pesti: o.0 Ego: It reminds me of when I had that whole trip where I was Agent Orangé and Incarnation Joy's henchdude and we... *the Jello falls a foot before he catches it again* Bad memories aside I'll just finish this and then have some Ben and Jerry's to wash the memory away. If you'll all excuse me. Usagi: What did you and this Joy person do Ego-chan? Rei: How can she be so naive? Mamoru: Practice? Usagi: Wah!!! Everyone is making fun of me! Mamoru: There there... don't cry Usa... *he hugs her tenderly* Margo: My pancreas hurts watching them... well I guess we'd better get on with this. Kevin... why are you on the camera... where is Dave? *Stagehand Kevin shrugs* Probably on a Union related break. Hopefully. Hate to have some Lossothian plot having had kidnapped him... I mean what would I tell Dan? Anyway... onwards. --,-'{@ Boy was she upset... crying all over the place... one mention of sharks and jellyfish and ChibiUsa was running crying to Max's house. "Everybody went to the Beach but ME!!! Usagi's parents are worried I'll get stung and all the hospitals there are crooked backbiters... That's what Mr. Tsukino said." "There there... it's okay. Perhaps I'll finish that sketch today... and make a painting for them to envy you for. What do you say?" "YATA!!" she punched up in victory. "Go get the suit you want me to draw you into, and I'll set up here. Tell the Tsukino's where you'll be." "They know I came here." "Alright then." Meanwhile "Chibi we're sorry... but..." "It's okay... I'm going to get painted!! A Painting of me at the beach without going to the beach... Usagi doesn't have a painting of her to hang on the wall!" she called out as she hopped up the stairs. And soon raced back down. "No running in the House!" "Sorry!!" she called as she bolted out of the door like a gazelle. "You know soon she'll be getting up late and eating everything in sight at this rate." "Don't fret while working on that commission... Sakatari-sama won't be pleased." "Bad enough I had to take this commission. What kind of place is named "The Glassy Picture"... But anyway what IS for dinner?" Back at Max's. "Should I put it on?" a blushing ChibiUsa asked. "Nowhere in here to change... and besides Mr. Tsukino would have a fit. No... all I need to do is lay them out on the tables ... like so... and I put my brain to work. Once had to do a painting of a statue I could only see the front side of." "Do I have to pose?" "That you have to. We'll make it like it were a polaroid... Stand there." "Like this?" "Yes... smile... and wave to me.... yes like that. Now no peeking or you'll blush or something and ruin your color." "Ecchi... you better be painting me with that on." "Of course... I'm not Havoc." "Is he really that bad?" "Yes... still please... I hear Usagi and her friends have to spend a day a week just buying underthings. He's such a pervert." A mysterious voice calls from the door,"Yes why steal panties when a picture paints a thousand words. Smile Sterling!" He did so then shook his head," Something I can help you with?" "Yeah could you like workout or something the girls like a few more muscles on their guys. What do you think of the picture Chibi?" She looked and clapped a hand over her eyes. "What's the matter?" The Brown haired guy took off his sunglasses, and Stepped into the better light. It was Leon from AD Police! He grinned when Max's jaw dropped. "Hi Max... name's... Rick Hunter. I like this renaming yourself thing." He picked up Chibi's swimsuit, and then looked over at her,"Nothing skimpier?" She harumphed and looked away from him. "You look like Leon..." "But I'm not... but that's not important... you need to workout... here look," and "Rick" showed him the picture he'd taken. In the picture he was bare arsed naked! --,-'{@ Senshi: Sugoi! Fanboys: Ahem! Senshi: o.0 @}'-,-- "My Stars! How'd you do that!" "Like this," He pointed and clicked at ChibiUsa... she had to blink the spots from her eyes,"This aught to help you draw that... why not do," he shook the picture to develop it,"a Nude painting instead." The picture revealed itself to Max -not the audience- to be... Chibi... minus her clothing. The Picture turned to vapor. "WTF... That was a great shot... did you do that Max?" "This place is haunted. Perhaps a fox spirit took umbrage. Now leave because I'm agreeing with it." "Slow down Tex... I'm leaving... Here for you Chibi," he gave her the picture by sliding it into her back pocket. He patted her, and she yelped. Rick was soon face first in the middle on the street... breaking his Sunglasses. "Well Max I thought we could be friends... I'd show you me picture collection... and let you in on a partnership in an endeavor of mine. Now I see you are just another Fanboy... just another idiot to be exploited... just another person blocking my shots of the Girls of Anime. But don't fret none... I have plenty more ChibiUsa pictures I could let you have... or are you just getting close to Chibi to muscle in on Usagi? You know befriend the parents run off with the daughter. Oh well... Hasta la taco and Chili con carn." He hopped into a car and sped off... not before the back end of the vehicle was rocked by and energy blast. "Where'd the jerk come from... I didn't write him in... and I know he wasn't here already... so who is he!" --,-'{@ Washuu: the computer shows no data... the picture is there... the damage to the car is there... but no guys looking like Leon except Leon... and he's on another channel. This is very strange. Very. Havoc -in the Jacket-: A rival for Hentenno-sama... I will sadly have to crush him... I will liberate the pictures from his collection and burn them on the pyre with him... Yes he will pay for upsetting Senshi and other anime ladies. Oh yes he'll pay. Minako... take that off of him... he just somehow read the scripted lines ... that Eldrick was supposed to say. Minako... I said remove his jacket! @}'-,-- "Max... can you paint some clothes on this picture? It's a very good picture but..." "Oh I have a picture I can give you from my wallet... here... a nice one. Let me have it for a second first," he painted gloss black over something that was written on the back,"There you go. And hand me the other one... I'll destroy this later," he pocketed it as he gazed after where the guy he blasted went. He sent a note to the monitor,\\Time advance me again... really helped me get integrated last time. Advance me to after MST2...\\ \We didn't advance you Eldrick dear... there was a problem with the device... this thing is practically gum and prayers now... it wasn't designed for this... and get out of the street... you look like Spectre Man listening to orders from above or something,\ Washuu responded. \\Ack!\\ \\There back inside. You say the machine is strained... should I pause and fix it?\\ \Everything is working... but the exit program... we've tried running it a few times... your ghosts that you keep seeing in the house.... that's me fixing the device.\ \\Who's Rick Hunter?\\ \There is no data. He doesn't seem to exist. Not even his car till you blasted it. We think he's a hack in fanboy. But there are no security leaks. Nothing has even arrived in your email since before you started this. Cameraman Dave is missing though.\ \\You don't think... \\ \And probably the only way to eject him from the story is to do something nasty to him\ [Don't think that way -Ecchi Saying Zin] \\Does he have a profile?\\ \Photography with that "X ray" camera of his... he also has a warehouse somewhere where he is making sculpture to violate of ... every female in Anime... and get this... when I said every I mean every.\ \\He tried to get a new picture of ChibiUsa. I fired up a spell he should be noticing the effects off soon. If it worked.\\ \We just heard a cry in the subway tunnels beneath Shinjuku... I think he noticed.\ \\Good... When i held my picture I noticed a little signature that is unique to his film... I just eradicated all presence of it in Fanboys... on every channel.\\ \We heard the processor nearly jump the board...\ \\Is this that much work?\\ \Yes... Hurry up will you?\ \\Get the computer to extrapolate up till after MSTfic 2... and then feed it to the device... I want to finish this before the processor fries.\\ \Information sent... bounce back in 5 minutes. So... how you enjoying the world in there?\ \\It's hyper accurate here and there... and not... at least I don't think so here and there.\\ \Probably your anti badluck modules kicking in... otherwise this would be just like a Fanboys instance... and therefore you'd have perks and flaws.\ \\Glad I made those modules.\\ \Too bad they don't always work... probably how Dave got sucked in... and how you ended up taking care of Chibi right as you were going to have your vengeance. 2.5 minutes.\ \\Well she has to be somewhere right? At least it's not Hilda the Abusive Nanny or something.\\ \1 minute... if you have to say anything... now's the time.\ \\I regret not building this better.\\ Probably the worst thing he could have said... it took it personally. The upload happened and unlike the smooth transition... this one was fast and violent. The Climax. He was at the airport. He had luggage... he was on his way back from somewhere. He remembered the trip to the Louvré... but he never had the money for that... so he couldn't have gone... can he have? The keyboard was as good as dead... no outside contact. He had no idea what time or day it was. He found a newsstand... he estimated he was back fresh after the MST2 fic... perfect... "Max... Max over here!" Mrs. Tsukino called. He smiled and walked over... but she wasn't smiling. "Chibi didn't show up in france did she?" "WHAT! No of course not. What's happened... she's missing?" His jaw dropped. "Yes just the last few days... got into a fight with Mamoru and Usagi over something they aren't vocal about then the next morning she was gone... she hadn't even packed or anything... she must have left via the window. Enough money was missing to account for meeting you in Paris... and we thought... that... maybe she was with you." "I boarded the only plane back... and by departure times on that board... it's the same one that came from this airport. I even saw SO's of other classmates do just what you suggested... probably to be together for the ride back. Hormone fiends." "Oh we don't know what's going on. We found your door wide open... some things of yours missing... and the charred remains of a polaroid... of Chibi asleep." "And that's where you got your flew out to greet me conclusion? Mrs. Tsukino... we aren't... Wait a POLAROID? I know who took that.... I'll be damned if I could find him though... Blast!" "Well I'll take you home... we'll think better there." He simply nodded at her words. At his house he found a note on his bed: "Hey Tex... how's it hanging? Well you might be wondering... where is your little yamheaded undersexed vixen. Well I told her I could help her track you down in Paris... and well she said she didn't have the money... so I got her some... then she said she didn't want to go... I had to coldcock her with her henshin stick. I then found a nice channel to drop her on. She took the place of herself quite well I think... well her American self... I think she's probably chowder by now... thanks to the fanboys... well ta-ta... I'll make you a nice ChibiUsa sexaroid for you to act out all the pent up art student sexaholism on. His eyes burned... his blood boiled. The unsigned paper ignited from the energy blast. "Oh hey you are back... catch!" Rick Hunter tossed him something... then went through a guyver transformation and ran off. It was the fried "yam" referenced from the MST fic... he'd get Hunter later. He twisted his battle gear ring and activated the emergency override on the power unlock. The alternate reality Fanboys were going to pay. "To quote Carnage... the Fanboys 'Go squish now!'" He clicked onto a power menu... then an item on it... he teleported to Tokyo Tower where he'd done that skyline piece during the fast forward period. There... there was their apartment... he considered telling them why he was going to send them down the pain express... but he decided not to. He hovered outside their window... They clicked back onto this channel before his eyes. He was not in an impressible mood. He stepped through the wall. Mayhem went to the fridge,"I hope Joel and the robots left us some Hard Lemonade. Yes... just enough. Catch everybody!" He tossed bottles... Carnage came up empty. "Hey Mayhem what gives?" The bottle fell into his hands. "Nice... delayed... toss... what are you staring at?" Carnage looked up. "Who invited Seiryo the Washout... hey listen... the battle music is playing." "I'm going to severely hurt each and everyone of you... life support will not be necessary." Pestilence blinked," You know he doesn't SOUND like Seiryo... more like Kagato..." "I believe they have the same American Seiyuu," Chaos said... backing away from the mad Juraian. "So what brings you... here for some of Aeka-hime's panties?" Havoc pulling the bra off of his head for a minute... to change with another bra. Max said nothing... he simply tossed the "yam" onto the table. "That's... ChibiUsa's yam from the MSTfic. It's still burning... way to go Carnage." "Yes... way to go... the wrong way!" The sofa erupted into a rain of springs and foam... as the energy blast rocked it... a Ryoko style sword formed in Max's hands. "Do you know you killed her?" "Yeah in the fanfic we toasted her... what of it." "Ever stop to make sure you are blasting the right one?" "It's the yamhead... we are doing the world a favor," Chaos said puzzled. "Wrong answer... Wind Blast Extreme!" The floor above and below ceased to exist and the level they were on tumbled towards the harbor. Carnage popped out his Deathscythe Hell Custom grabbed everyone in his hands but the villain of the moment and watched their apartment crash into the waves. "I think Sei... Kag... whoever that is, is a fan and we pissed them off. Big time." "Kowai!!!! TASUKETE!!! I see him over there... flying at us like Ryoko! Move this Gundam out of here... I couldn't bear to see my Death Scythe hurt." "WHOSE DEATHSCYTHE! And I got this guy." He brought the scythe blade to bear and Max just blasted it. "He shouldn't be able to do that! Let's get out of here!!" "That's far enough!!! Hydrogen Strike!" A blast of pure hydrogen engulfed the engines... and somehow reacted... "Eject... eject... women and fanboys! first!" They all held up their umbrellas and jumped... landing through Max's roof. "We got away I think... he'll have trouble finding us amidst the debris of the Hell Custom," Mayhem adjusted his glasses. "Where are we? Hey I know that picture it was in the paper... some art contest." A voice filled in lost information,"The 3rd annual new artists competition local division... had to win and drop out due to no funds to go to the next stage in Kobe." "KYAAAAAAAA!!!!!!! HE'S BACK!!!!!! I THINK WE LANDED ON HIS HOUSE!!!!!" Chaos ran around SD. "I've got him! DIL" Max held up a card and said,"Pickle" during the hyper brief pause. "BRAND!" A rain of pickles fell on the Fanboys! "What happened... I'll try another... MEGA" Max held up a card and said,"DETH!" and before the next word could leave Carnage's lips they were rocked by a weaker strength version of Dark Schneider's spell. "Anything you do you know I will see through it! I have all the cards!" Max tossed of all things ... a collectable card game card... he was using that to somehow hack the spell being cast AT him and use it against them. "Here's a nice one... I like how I hacked this... Spell of Binding!" He tossed a card at them and ropes flung out of everything in the room... binding them in a cocoon of rope. "I'm going to enjoy killing you for what you did. I know even if you'd known it was the real ChibiUsa right there when you said what you did... I know you would have still done it... and that's why your lives mean nothing now." "Max... are... you... here? M... ax?" came a weak voice as Max charged for Something Really Painful to Do to Them(tm). Max turned and his eyes bugged out... ChibiUsa was walking towards his house... well... wobbling. "Ma... what are you wear..." she passed out... he teleported, and caught her. Inside Mayhem said to Havoc,"Reach under that Doji shirt of yours and pull Catastrophe out would you?" Chaos went SD,"Why double my pains!" "She'll chew through the ropes, Chaos... or do you want to stay here... and get smited to hell... and not back... He seems the type to put us in the hell of chibiusa h-fics JUST to reform us to her good graces or something. So Havoc... reach in... I'd told her Chaos had ran that way before Joel and the robots had made their request. Fortunately for us now... she's not as bright as Rampage-chan yet." Catastrophe popped out... and launched at the bindings... teething upon them... to get to Chaos. She broke through to him and started teething on his fingers. "KYAAAAAA!!!! She's got my fingers TASUKETE!!!!!" He went frantic and sd... running this way and that... breaking everyone else out inadvertently. they tried to sneak passed Max as Chibi came too again. "Ma... ax I want you to hide my injuries... so I can sneak passed Usagi's Parents... I wanna take a nap." "My bed is closer... I'll tell them I found you. That you;d fallen asleep on my roof or something watching for my plane to arrive... Yes that's it... and then something crashed on the house and that's how you are now. Don't worry it'll be okay..." *he teleported and placed her on the bed... and teleported right back*" as for you guys... you missed her telling me to forgive you because she realized she was in another fanfic and you were just venting... but such VIOLENT venting has damage... Like this... feel the power of VIOLENT VENTING!" He wove his hands this way and that way... and drew the ball of power formed back to toss it... when a purple rose crashed into the cement in front of him... making him lose concentration on the spell. .o0(Perhaps this is the calling card of some Mamoru alike... who wants them himself. Perhaps the Mamoru from that fanfic is after them... his vengeance is more worthy... I'll let him have them. And if it's not him... I known he missed on purpose... and my luck module isn't working 24/7)0o. "In leu of this rose... a sign of life... a sign of beauty... I am reminded of the beauty of life, and how precious it is... even yours... and as the Kawaii one within has decided to spare you... so will I." Max drew 2 cards and they all backed up. "Stream of Concrete." He drew another pair," Stream of Wood." the spells cast things started to repair themselves all over town. "Stream of Steel... Oh why not... one of each left... Stream of Gundamanium," and the Hell Custom... UN rained down upon the city in lots of teeny pieces. "I have waste much time and energy on you Fanboys... pray I never do so again. I hate looking like Seiryo." From within,"Max... the roof fixed itself... what's... going... on?" "Yes Max... what IS going on? Hmm? Tell all of us... you anger battery. Or are you now a Fountain of Forgiveness? Tell all us fanboys... and near Fanboys what's up." "Lords of Mass Destruction... I have someone to dismember... please put all tray tables in their upright positions... and put on splash guards because he's going to get messy." "Kowai!" they announced and pulled out their umbrellas. "Rick Hunter... I'd like to show you a little experiment of mine." "Just a minute... I need new pictures of ChibiUsa for my sexaroid collection." "Oh just die Polaroid freak. Gaseous Burp!" Chaos dropped his umbrella," What kind of a spell is that?!" "Umbrella up now! As for me WIND SCREEN!" The previous spell finished casting itself... and the Fanboys almost lost their umbrellas as air rushed in on one point on Mr Rick Hunter... his head. He vanished... Max braced... and then ribbons of flesh and rivulets of blood sprayed out in a fine mist... that evaporated in seconds. "Safe." "That was completely disgusting... why did you do that to that guy... Wasn't that Leon from AD Police?" Havoc protested. "No it wasn't... just a person... helping me to be here... accidentally sucked in. Had to kill him badly to eject his body back into my continuity. As for me... well I read the MSTfic in my continuity... and had to get you back... but by even injecting myself into your continuity the way I did I upset things... and almost caused the real death of ChibiUsa. Some revenge." "So why'd you kill him. I'm sure clubbing him over the head would have worked," Pestilence commented. "He got himself and the Real Chibi out off of this channel and into the mstfic... and dropped Chibi in place of the other chibi you annihilated... I guess she survived." "Someone... rescued... me..." she answered from within. "He dropped me... I saw the fanboys... I saw Carnage about to cast... and someone grabbed me just as the blast came down pushing me into the dirt... and dropped me in front of my house... leaving only a purple rose. I then came here... cause they'd worry so... but anyway... I forgive you... Fanboys... only one who likes me is... Max... and... I'm going to sleep." "So Max Sterling... going back home now I hope?" Chaos said as he looked down to see Catastrophe had his pants in her mouth and was shredding them. "Yes... I shouldn't be back. I'd say sorry for the mix up... but I'm not. You should be hung over a pit of alligators from your testicles for hurting even a h-fic version of ChibiUsa... but I'll let you go cause she'd be upset if I killed all of you right now after she'd forgiven you. Just no more pain causing to the pink haired people... and I won't have to come back and turn you into stones... head stones." "We won't if you watch a little less Tenchi Muyo... KYA! Please remove energy sword... I take it back." He menu'd to Seiryo Transport in... reversed the code for it... and transported out. "I hope we never see that freak again... I hated the flashbacks from being stalked," Carnage shook his head," Maybe Dynast Flare would have gotten through." "He could have DYNASTy rick FLARE... and we'd have a big wrestler hurled at us dressed as if from an old soap opera of the 80's... no I'm glad you didn't," Mayhem muttered as he saw Senshi converging on Usagi's house... and then coming this way at a run. Usagi panted out,"Where's Chibiusa! Have you seen her?" "Um... err... well she'd been waiting on his roof to see Max's plane land... and there was that alien asteroid that landed here... probably from the negaverse that landed right on his house and Carnage had to use a recovery spell... she's battered and bruised within Max Sterling's House. --,-'{@ Eldrick: YAY! Non virtual reality. *Washuu looks at the Author* Ardice: Eldrick... you forgot to neuralize them... oh well prepping for a reentry... Washuu and I will do it. @}'-,-- "Hi... Usagi... has Max's plane landed yet?" "Mom says she brought him back a while ago. He must have gone to look for you." "That's ... nice... of him..." "Rest now... we'll get him up to speed." From the door,"I'm Agent W this is Agent A, boy did you get one hell of an alien stinker here... be thankful you had magic... now if we could get you to all stare at this lovely sign Agent A is holding up and then we'll all go out for takeout." Instinctive reactions kick in... FREE FOOD! PWAMPH "Wow Thank the maker Carnage had that recovery spell ready after that satellite crashed on the house here. Well we'll continue to see if there is any other damage. And for your reference, I'm Walters from JSSDF, and this is Akeni. Pleasant days to you all. And we were never here, right?" Washuu as Agent W asked. All: *nods* ==+== Wow that's done. Chaos: I don't remember getting neuralized. Mayhem: Baka... you aren't supposedto remember... but this is all fiction anyway so what's it matter. ChibiUsa giggled looking at a rose with purple petals in her hand: Yep... all just fantasy to get you all to like me more. I mean you don't remember any of it so it must have never happened. Pesti: Hai... all that happened last week was that whole Spy satellite decayed orbit thingy on the news. Nice Current Event tie in ther Author. Thanks... you can all leave now... Beverages and other refreshments are in the back... enjoy what's left over. Won Toh... thanks for the use of the Stage at your establishment. Won Toh: Always a pleasure... come again soon. Well hopefully not for this reason. Fanboys! The exit portal is 17 feet from the door at a 99 degree angle... not the one at 16 feet and 98 or the one at 20 at 100 degrees. It's the green one.

I'm tired... =0==0==0==0==0= <> =0==0==0==0==0==0==0==0==0==0= In the Company of Hope Omake: The Kareoke Club "I don't know why we are actually going to this event." "Eterna... you promised Ayanami... can't back out." Eterna sighed,"But Eldrick." "Talk to the waggling finger. We are all going... the car is not going to suddenly drive passed the entrance or anything... we are all going... besides your costume looks lovely," Eldrick cackled from within his MegaMan/Rockman meets BubbleGum Crisis hardsuit. "Thanks RockBrain," muttered Eterna sullenly in his Starmaker costume. "Relax brother... it won't be all that bad... I dressed up too," Confusion posed in her Taiki outfit,"This'll be fun... and just think of all the girls that'll be there!" She elbowed him conspiratorially. "But this costume Margo made is embarrassing!!!" A girl who looked surprisingly like Urd piped in,"You could have gone naked you know. Like me... a few tweaks and I look just like Urd... of course I'm going clothed... but you could have decided against clothing... this place allows almost as much as that OTHER club." Eterna and Eldrick shivered. Tendrils of cotton draped over their shoulders suddenly,"Oh you poor dears... all cold... shall I put on my nurse's outfit, and speed you along to health!" "Please no Joy... and get your inju tentacles off of us will ya." Joy retrieved the false tentacles,"Eldy you're no fun. How about you Confusion..." "None of that... if we gotta go we aren't waiting on you two to stop your antics." The Kana for cruel scrolls by behind eye to eye duo. "Later," Joy mouthed. "Okay," Confusion replied. "Anyone seen my baton? I can't be Pretty Sammy without it." "Did you ask Noh-ohki, Astrala?" Asked a woman dressed like Iria. "Yeah Ardice I did... but she is NOT helpful... she does take bribes though she said." "Eldrick that's your department, carrot the furball." Eterna instinctively ducked away. Then sat back upright and sweatdropped. "I ought to turn the animatronic furball INTO a carrot and feed it to another cabbit. Noh-ohki... I have some carrots for you if you find Astrala's Pretty Sammy baton." Out popped the white bellied fuzzball with grey ear fur. "Raor!Raor!" Eldrick had to give it one carrot first... before it would look... then it soon found the baton and demanded 11 more in compensation. It belched contentedly from it's spot on Astrala's head. "My my Noh-ohki must be taking etiquette lessons from Haris." "Like you even know which fork is which Charhon." "I do to Haris!" "Could you two not argue tonight? You might rumple your costumes... and I had to beg Ryoko and Ayeka for hours to give those outfits up." Haris-Ryoko and Charhon-Ayeka subsided. "Good Work my Konei." "Now now I'm Pirouette tonight Gerard." "And I'm Ashram." "That you are," she giggled. Workbot gave her another injection while it drove us around the corner. Washuu said the antihormones might not be strong enough... but so far they were working. Margo subsided from smacking them over the head. She'd spent a DAY on each of their costumes and they weren't about to rip them off of each other. "Eld hun, you should have dressed as Dmitri... then we'd be a matched set." "But I've always wanted to wear this outfit somewhere, Ami..." "We should have both come as Roll to his Rock... Ami." "That would have been interesting Hope... but no... I like my Morrigan costume... and you are so kawaii as Lilith!" They giggled while Eldrick shook his head. Soon the car stopped and everyone stepped out except Eterna who tried to order workbot to keep driving. They joined others entering the club in a nice even flow to find tables. Eldrick had to stop and demonstrate his "Carrot Buster Gun" to the mascot population... or rather the cabbit population after Noh-ohki spilled the beans. Eterna and Confusion had to be dragged away from Ogling Ritsuko Akagi who was dressed in a plugsuit that she said she'd found the idea for in a KiSS set. The EVA Pilots had come as the cast of Baretsu Hunters... even if Shinji Ikari was an unamused Carrot Glaces... partially sue to Asuka's whip around his neck. As the seats were filling in, Misato, dressed interestingly enough as Captain Harlock, which cause stunned expressions throughout the audience, grabbed the microphone. "Ladies and Gentlemen... and Other," Joy writhed some tentacles and Misato shook her head,"Thank you all for coming out here for this event... the Kareoke will begin as soon as we are sure we've got everyone who wants to attend in the doors and seated. There is a 3 drink minimum SOP in this club, so drink up. ID will be checked or failing that a carbon dating," she paused as the audience chuckled,"Again thank you for stopping in to listen." The audience applauded... which got the last few tables towards the door filled as people hurried to get in for fear it had already begun. Joy stood up,"Hitting the bar what does everyone want?" "Three waters special for me," Chimed in Eldrick. \Tea, Ice water, and Hot coco made from a mix\ "Yuck... how about I just pick some things for everyone... I'll be nice ;)" "What's wrong with the 3 Waters Special?" "Eldy... it's bland, and you use too much sugar... if you need anything sweet we are here..." Confusion grinned,"Joy-chan no ecchi." "But of course!" Joy winked. "Argh this costume is so... so..." lamented Eterna. "Awesome!" said a mysterious voice behind the grumbling Eterna,"I'll give you a rose if you let me try it on!" Everyone actually looked at the newcomer now... a nice looking raven haired girl tipped the top hat of her Tuxedo Mask costume... and pushed her hair back into it. "Don't mind me,"she smiled. Eldrick willed Joy and Confusion to control themselves. He heard betting going on in his mind. Margo thought,"You know I'll let you try his costume on... if I can study yours for a few hours? Perhaps you two should exchange costumes." "I'm still wearing this you know! I don't really see how we could exchange costumes I heard the bathrooms are on opposite sides of the... Gracious!" The girls had obviously thought the swap was a brilliant idea... and was already halfway done stripping out of her outfit. Ami quirked an eyebrow and looked around... a few people were wearing body paint or less as their costumes... so she guessed that what this girls was doing was okay. "But we might not be able to fit into each other's costumes..." Eterna fought with watching her undress and trying to state that the situation was all wrong. "Stand up then," Ami said as if it was obvious. "Yeah yeah stand up next to her so we can compare you two," Astrala piped in giggling. "But I already looked him over when he came in..." Hope clapped her hands together,"Oh how cute you've both blushed to the same color," She paused,"Um Eterna... you can't change costumes with her unless you get out of yours." Haris and Margo chorused for his embarassment,"Take it off Take it off... ooh baby take it off." Haris burst out laughing at the expression on his face. A spotlight seemed to shine on Eterna as he slowly un costumed himself. Actually he did it really fast... but Joy warped the time back to a slower speed so that all the girls watching -at this and other tables- could get a clear decent -indecent?- view. By the time he was done the girl had finished untaping her breasts. Eldrick prayed that Joy and Confusion would let the poor girl be... he saw them making starry eyes at her and figured the girl was doomed. "Um here miss..." They seemed to share the spotlight for a brief and beautiful moment... that was shattered by Joy Confusion and Margo shouting for them to get to groping each other already and that they wanted a show. Blushing they passed the trade goods between them and quickly dressed -or would have if Joy wasn't making Setsuna angry again. All over the place cameras rolled, and flashbulbs went off. "Huh... What was that?" the girl looked around only to see alot of patrons suddenly interested in talking to their friends. "I could have sworn I saw a flash of light surrounding me and... Eterna... making it look like we were standing in a field of light. It was so cool!" "WOW Kasumi that costume looks much better on him then it did on you. And vice versa. Ack hold still or that could end up creasing..." This second new girl kneeled down and pulled on the cuff of Eterna's new pants. "There..." she smoothed the sides of his pants all the way to his hips, and stood back to admire,"now it's perfect." "Sunahama really... feeling the poor man up." "I was not Kasumi... and if I was it certainly wasn't as bad as you ogling him after you finished getting into his costume," said the sandy skinned sunblond who looked like she came as she was rather than wear a real costume. Of course the 2 piece suit she was almost wearing looked like it would dissolve in water. "Hahahahah you are such a kidder, Sunahama," she turned to wave at us when her sweatdrop vanished,"Thanks... my number is in the pants pocket so you can call about returning the costumes to their original owners. I made sure to write my name next to it so you don't forget." Kasumi and Sunahama went back to their table. "Looks like we are full now... so... On with the Show!" Misato announced from the stage microphone. "I'll get to those drinks," Joy chimed in and went off towards the bar... stopping at Kasumi and Sunahama's table to ask what they want... it looked like she said Eterna was their benefactor. He tried to climb into his tophat. "Strictly on the basis that I am First Child, I fear, I am first," Rei Ayanami. The crowd burst into applause, and quickly subsided as the pianist started the song. Rei waited and then picked up exactly when the vocal was supposed to start,"Fly me to the moon, and let me play among the stars...." The End. =0==0==0==0==0==0==0==0==0==0= <> =0==0==0==0==0= =0==0==0==0==0==0==0==0==0==0= <> Haris: So exactly what ARE we supposed to do? Charhon: Patience is a virtue. Haris: So is Charity... so give me a cookie. Astrala: Haris... I made you some... Margo: She wolfed them down. She must not care about her figure. Haris: Bah! Konei: But she doesn't look like a wolf. Ardice: Baka! Konei: Wait I think I get it now. Gerard: Do you Konei? Konei: Yep... she ate like a wolf? Gerard: Good enough. Charhon: She still isn't getting one of my cookies. Hope: Ha! There goes that attempted fireball Ami! *she picks up a cookie in victory* Ami: Ah but all that mana is gone now... and I got plenty more. Take this! 3 lightning bolts. Hope: Hey ow... I'll get you for tha...t *she looks under the table* Her turn now Eldy... *sighs contentedly* Ami: Ah yes... Hope: I'll beat you while you are distracted.

Astrala: I'll make some more cookies... Workbot you're gonna help. *Workbot follows the dainty Astrala into the kitchen* Margo: I am so glad the video version of Evangelimoon is so well executed... All: *nods* =o==o==o==o==o= Now the cast of this pointless gratuitous Omake <> =0==0==0==0==0==0==0==0==0==0= <> =0==0==0==0==0= =0==0==0==0==0==0==0==0==0==0= All was quiet in the 4 story house. The plain, Chicago antique brick building, looking out under the "night sky", upon the seemingly endless plain, of gently blowing green grass, slept soundly. The heliport beside the house not busy... the skies clean of air traffic. The portal to Macross sector, lain dormant these many hours, flared for a brief second, and then vanished as was it's hourly want. Sharing a corner with it the large alt.hentai.sailor-moon portal flared in response... but nothing came through it of course... possibly there were no cars driving along the "road" where the portal opened... and none were traveling either of the sidewalks apparently. Within the massive house's basement not even the multipurpose robot, Workbot, was scuttling about engaged in duties. Thyra, the Macross Sector Valkyrie resplendent in it's blue and silver enamel, wasn't being cleaned polished or test flown. Jean, the Phoenix Hawk LAM wearing a decadent cascade of green and white, was just as idle as both rested in their hangers in plane mode. Bins of armaments waited peacefully while not needed. Further in cars were neatly tucked into their garages, the garbage bin sat emptied, the fusion furnace churned out it's energy to the subspace fields at work in the house, and the security system. It did not notice the slight surge that was pulled from it to check all of Eldrick's email accounts, but then it never did. The Stairs had no feet on them... the sub-spacial elevator linking the floor was just as calm. The electronic eye of the elevator door could easily see that the MASSIVE screen in the living room displayed no movies or the like, hentai or otherwise. Across from the living room the dining room was vacant, as was the kitchen. The door and doorbell undisturbed. The Second floor quietly bleeped and blipped to itself as the video games and the simulator seemed to all be engaged in a massive conversation. The washer and dryer made no part in the conversation seemingly content to listen. Washuu's door to the house was unopened, and displayed that she wasn't near either side of it should anyone suddenly awaken and have need of her -now if she would help is another question entirely. The Practice mat was unsullied by foot or body. It's weapons were all in their places also. The forge around the divider was cold and noiseless. Skipping the fourth floor for a moment... we have the roof... a telescope of magnificent power for it's size gazed up at the seldom changing sky... a hydroponic greenhouse gently metered out nutrients into the flow without supervision. The Stairs to the fourth floor on the side of the roof were barren of life. The Fourth Floor's Deck with it's large pool held no party currently. The Hallway leading from it held no pedestrians. The perpendicular hallway was likewise vacant... the computer room... talking to itself -or maybe to all the ChibiUsa fandom all around it-... the bathroom... quiet and serene... its stacks of naughty mags untouched for the moment... the girls would likely ravage them later. And speaking of the girls they were all comfortably asleep all over their bed... even Gerard was somnolent. Back at the junction, the door there opens to reveal Eldrick wrapped lovingly around Ami and Hope wrapped around from behind... the blanket simply showing the signs of uniform sleep pattern breathing from the three bodies. The Closet door comfortably holds the clothing for the occupants of the room... and the secret shrine known to few lies hidden... if oddly barren. Was it robbed? If so the burglar obviously didn't escape out the other door in the room... that leads only to a lavatory... and then the master bathroom which is hallway accessible as previously mentioned. Who was the thief? How did they get in? How did they get into this space behind the newsgroup of alt.games.final-fantasy? Are other spaces behind the newsgroups at risk? Like the store, Cool Devices, behind alt.sex.toys? Or "The Nuthouse" behind ahs-m - known for it's loud parties and all night newbie created drinking contests? And is Won Toh's Chinese Buffet on the hit list? All this was shattered by the doorbell ringing and the security booth in the attic screeching about an intruder in the dimension. --- Eldrick stirred slowly. Ami and Hope were already alert and moving quickly. In Blinding Flashes of Color the pair transformed into combat fuku's and headed up to the security booth via the attic access door at the top of the spiral staircase. "Konei forgot she was supposed to be on duty and probably went off to bed." Ami said as her hands flew across the keys trying to access the various cameras and sensors. "What's going on huh?" Haris popped her head into the access doorway. "Don't know yet Haris... Konei must have turned off the security system... nothing is up and running. Any progress Ami?" "None Hope... not for lack of trying. Got internals up... internals weren't disconnected." "What do you mean 'disconnected'? Haris move! I don't think she heard me," Charhon prodded Haris's ankle. "Hey stop that will ya... she heard you fine and is stunned at the thought.... wait... why are you stunned?" "The... security system is integrated too well... if inside is working outside should be working." "Astrala we are going to check the roof," Margo announced hauling her younger sister along. "But Margo... Sis... wouldn't simply checking the door be easier?" "Ardice was already on her way down." And while all this is happening... Gerard and Konei are still fast asleep from too much sex by the pool the night before... "Oh no... that isn't..." "Oh yeah... that's her..." "Who? Haris move!" Haris looked down,"Trust me you don't need to know. Ignorance is bliss. Get Ardice before she gets on the elevator... fortunately I think Eldrick got into it first." "But Who is out there! I must know or I'm not moving!" "Look here," Hope said as she formed a mirror out of thin air. Charhon sighed,"Oh dear... I'll catch Ardice," she said as she put words to action. "Hi everyone!" Joy said as she materialized... chained to the bed in the security booth. She tested the restraints,"Ignore the chains they are to keep me from hurting someone... and by the way... why is..." Her words were cut off as the action shifted to the door as Eldrick opened it. =o= =o= =o= =o= "If you are here to sell me something I'm not..." Eldrick yawned and opened his eyes a tiny bit," ... interested." She nearly crushed him in a... hug? "You have to hide me... hide me from him... he'll get me if I'm out in the open... please you must help me!!!" "Who." "He's all mean and vicious and ... lecherous. You have to hide me... please... I was to be a ... gift... a sacrifice... to him... please you must keep me from him... if you don't a lot of harmless bickering will turn to a flamewar!" "You speak of Lossoth?" Eldrick's sober eyes narrowed. "Inside... he can't get IN here but if he can see you then he'll find a loophole to get you brought out with." She wiped tears from her eyes as he slammed the door shut, and set up a field around the house that would repeat the docile nothing happening view the house presented when nothing was happening outside of it like a video tape loop on a security camera. Which by the way is the only quality with which Lossoth can look into the pocket dimension. And since the field is electronic in nature... L boy would never know the difference. "Thank you. You are so kind to one you don't know." "Shhhh... don't worry about it... Um I was about to have breakfast," he lied,"Join me?" "I... I don't know what to say!" Meanwhile choice words were retorted towards the monitor as to what she should say. "I'd be... honored... thank you again Mr. ... um..." "Eldrick." "Ah yes... thank you Mr. Eldrick." He chuckled while inside he panicked," No not Mister, just Eldrick." .o0(What am I doing? The false charm crap isn't working... I can see it on her face...)0o. "Oh... how embarrassing... My apologies... Eldrick." "Apology accepted... shall we?" "Shall we what?" she blinked. .o0(Kya!!!)0o. It too a sizable effort to control... himself... and not nosebleed or worse - she wasn't exactly dressed demurely with her leather schoolgirl outfit... 2 sizes too small... accenting -for self control issues mind you- all the wrong places. "Eat," he managed to point at the kitchen. "Oh yes I'd kind of forgotten... I thought I felt something staring at me." Eldrick smiled and turned around to walk to the kitchen... manipulating the air to tie his robe up -something he'd sworn he'd already done. As he cinched it he said over his shoulder," I'd have offered to take your coat," -a white... lab or technical coat... he wasn't sure- ," But it's a little cold in here to most people, and so I figured you'd be warmer with it." "Oh I found the coat hook myself... I figured you'd forgotten to ask in the protect and feed rush," She smiled as she caught up to him. He blushed and could say nothing... as he saw that the back V'd all the way down to her waist... and a teasingly small bit lower. "Something smells just peachy!" "Waffles?" "You mean you don't know? My you were asleep," she giggled. .o0(I hope Charhon doesn't skin me for letting this stranger eat her waffles...)0o. =o==o==o==o= "Remind me to skin her for touching my waffles... and look she's enjoying them that that... oh I'll find something to call her in a minute!" Charhon said a few minutes later as the camera revealed 2 persons below eating HER waffles that Astrala had made on HER request for HER breakfast. Haris put down a notepad with many profane names on it,"I'm sure Astrala can make more if I remember the size of the delivery." Astrala's sweatdrop happily popped," Oh sure... no problem. I can feed an army on the amount I bought... I even planned for Ego's love of waffle cones. Where is he anyway?" Margo popped her head in,"Getting the riot act. We're all next... they are doing a MUCH more thorough background check on Eldrick than last time. Hence all the cloak and dagger... and that woman to keep him distracted. They want totally non-Eldrick influenced answers... end quote." Ardice sighed gustily," Just great..." she thumb padded a now working exterior camera around to get a good look," They could interrogate a large planet with all of that... I just wish we could tell Eldrick she's a sham." "Noninterference is the rule of the day," Konei piped in from the bed where Gerard was injecting her with yet another dose of her hormone controller. "I feel like I'm back in line to get micronized... we all had extensive background checks even though not many of us in my unit had ever done ANYthing that would merit one," he sighed. All were quiet as they contemplated what to do next... though Charhon had come up with a few new choice words to describe the girl who had eaten HER waffles. =o==o==o==o= "Hey brainless... I've already told you 4 times," said a voice seemingly coming from a shadow on the wall. The man in the paste grey uniform just shrugged behind his wrap around silver mirrored cheap sunglasses, and in a standard issue manner like everything else about him -down to his manicured finger nails,"My apologies but I must make sure to get it down perfectly. Please begin again, Ego." "Again that's LORD INCARNATE Ego to you cretin. Ahem: Longer ago than I give a shit a thought formed. It found itself in a brain... the brain was big... but still felt confining. It wandered around in it nevertheless. Other thoughts came and went but the one just wandered about... it never poofed out like the others... Some other thoughts joined it... it made it want to get away from them... one day finally it did... for a brief dream moment it was free... it walked it talked it conversed... but never remembered what it said... it would do this every now and then... but not too often or too well. "Eventually came the time you really give a smegma about it separated save for a tenuous connection. It was given form and purpose and a life of it's own. It acted out what the Host really wanted to do. One of those things was to see the anime universe... It couldn't do much... but what it could it did. One day it did something ghastly... it made something here... that fractured off a continuity in and of itself. That happens alot sure... but this was a self indulging continuity... but that happens alot too... what bothered you was the scope. And it was massive... the continuity covered alot and ripples of the primary act dug deep. It was his... but with so many similar cases... who cares right? When he started sucking in twisted visions of other realms in anime... that was when the problem started. When the form named itself, you grew worried right? "Well anyway Eldrick as it now called itself got his thumbs in everything... till one day a pocket formed in this... then a few more... until he had pockets for things that would never use them but he had them... some places multiple ones. Then one day he left... and the work stayed... reality and you started working on it at once to push it out of the host mind so that it was gone. But no... Then one day he came back... and the continuity widened forwards and backwards... justifying the now... paving the way for the future. This got him on a naughty list... but even that is a big list... and just watched for the most part. Occasionally hindered but usually left alone. His powers weren't much different from any other "Avatar" as they are called so you ignored him. "Eldrick doesn't really USE his powers. So he back filled himself as studying under Washuu. So what... him and 15 thousand other right?" "809. Continue." "So many... damn. Anyway... so what if he made himself famous with inventions and the like? So what if he made new "critters" to populate his world. No... you got worried when he made a residence. When they make homes you get worried cause... homes don't leave when they do... they are like... stains that won't washout until the guys die. Referring to hosts of course. He did this he did that. Then one day... I pulled off. It was getting stuffy in there... No room. And I was back filled and explained away... that pissed me off but that was part of my character so I was ignored save for my comments every now and then. Then he made life. And his status changed. She wasn't "An Annoying new Character" she wasn't part of anything... and he backfill... sucked ass it wasn't even a real anime past and it was clouded with forced thought covering and a little amnesia. The no-no meter increased. Her existence helped him figure a few things out... and he broadened his presence in his universe. He actively used himself to help his other and vise versa. He was happy. The No-no meter stabilized... but wasn't too bad or anything." "You are lying again and expanding his influence." "You expect different of me? Filter it down to whatever lies you prefer... I know you plan to anyway right?" "Yes." "Now that that is settled... the bad elements in his mind made... an Evil... and a Good... just illustrating a point again... but they took up residence... filling forward and back to make their presences believable. For the Good way forward... but a hazy forward... but also way back... and the evil... way way back." "Last time you gave numbers." "That was last time. He even brought a looney universe creation theory... into play... and other things. But I want Ice Cream NOW! Or I say no more." "Cream him again Suz..." A Girl handed him Ice Cream in a Bowl... or tried to... he's invisible save his shadow so it's hard to hand it straight to him. Then the 4 year old sat back down and played with her blocks again. "Good Girl Suz... and nice Ice Cream." "I did good ^-^" "Kyaaaaa... too cute... *shudder*" =o==o==o==o= "So is there anyway out of this? I can't believe if you go back they'll send you as an offering AGAIN." She sighed bodily,"No I don't think so... now that they can send ME back and forth through the "cracks" they will without hesitation." "It's official... that sucks." "Yep," she leaned back on her stool again, doing another full bodied sigh. Eldrick wasn't totally dense... he know she was being Miss Coy... she was giving him views on purpose... even now and then she noticed that he'd noticed and alternately show more or less. He knew she was even manipulating the rooms temperature. His realm... his House... and she was doing all of this. He knew she was there to keep him busy... the story didn't look remotely true anymore... though Lossoth WAS after her... you can't fake that... "poor" girl. By making the joke and saying he was after her... he now was. He felt sorry for her for that... but he didn't know why she was doing this... he knew there was great magic at work outside in the field. It had been affecting him earlier. But now it was a horny girl and an aroused guy. Anything he did would be based on her ability... not their coercion. She moved. She sighed again... and not too unexpectedly said,"The game is up isn't it." Her voice was no longer toying... no game behind it anymore. "My task is done. I was just to keep you occupied... fuck you if necessary. By force if necessary. I've manhandled bigger and stronger and more quick to use their powers than you. So if I had decided you'd be mine." He shrugged. He'd known something was up after he first felt the pleasure of ice cream in his throat instead of waffle. Ego had ice cream, and he hadn't been in the fridge. He knew because he checked. Also he'd then noticed the powers at work on him. He'd slowly cast of that yoke. They didn't KNOW of course. They might now. "So what now?" He asked. He wasn't sure how he felt about it. It was a nice ruse while it lasted... of course he normally didn't just go after any female in sight... like she'd obviously been told. "Now they are conducting the final interviews. Meerly formalities. They already have everyone's." "Why the interviews?" "Oh I don't feel like telling you. So bite me." "Oh? You're a she male or something now. My I would have been surprised. But no thank you I've had sausage already today." "I don't appreciate being made light of. I am a woman of a quick temper." "And I'm supposed to be happy that I wasn't ASKED about all this? I know they were... but why not just pop me out of the pocket and talk to them if you want unbiased or something. Or pop them out. Why INVADE my space?" "So there's something in there after all? My my... far more interesting now." "Cut the crap you aren't even interested in me." "Vice versa?" "Naga would be more fun... even Joy would be. Hell getting taken from behind by her damn riding crop is more appealing! AT LEAST I HAVE A CHANCE AT ENJOYING IT! But I'm not going to waste my time getting angry with you. That could affect the girls "Testimonies". So let's sit back... relax and try to be civil. And tell them to get off my lawn." "No communicator." "I'll do it then." "One false move..." "And they close the dimension killing me and all present in a flash. I know what kind of power they have out there. I also know you have a communicator. It's in the hem of that leather thing you are wearing." "And here I thought you were admiring my body... silly me. So already know how to disable me, and render me sans vive?" "Learn a language before you use it." "Thought I had... oh well. And my question?" She crossed her arms under her breasts. "No. I was only admiring... I don't know how to take you out unless it involved dinner." "Oh can't hit a woman... for shame." "Well I figure I can be lax in doing things like that. After all my house has a few females willing to do that for me... not that I could ask such a thing. No matter how bad you are or think you are. I don't wish that on most. Plus Lossoth is after you." "Poppycock." "Really... then explain the imp listening in by the front door. I didn't put him there. He's been there ever since the demonettes came to stay. Lossoth knows his loopholes." "He can't leave or interfere." "But he can watch. So stay till he finds something else to do... should only be another hour... by then hopefully the CP will be done, Agent..." "Special Agent Imeria Karavatine." "Hopefully Lossoth will be bored by then Imeria." "I didn't say you could call me that." "I didn't say you could invade my house and come on to me." "Touché. This is actually a unique experience." "Oh?" "Yes normally the target never figures out I flirt have sex move on while other things happen. You're only about the 9th to figure it out... and the last one wasn't exactly recent." "Ah so the vampire likes to know the fear in it's victim or something. Like to seduce the ones which know or something? Sick. Just sit down and shut up. I'm going to put in something to watch. That way we can remain civil, and not lob accusations all day long." "What's the title conductor?" "Evangelimoon 2: The Anime." He wasted no time as he crossed the room, and placed the media in the player and sat down on the love seat directly in front of the screen. He used his powers to create popcorn and started digging into the bowl with anger driven zeal. =o==o==o==o= "I've only seen him that upset once before," Hope said ripping another napkin to shreds in her hands. Letting her do that was far less expensive that handing her anything else. They'd tried giving her a block of metal... but with her powers she'd made a sword out of it... The kind demons are slain and or imprisoned in... next she'd buried it in a wall... which is saying something considering what the place is made of. They'd wondered if she'd make a whole suit next and had continued handing her materials... There were now a collection of swords in the wall... each more deadly looking than the last. Joy had been pulling them out with care for Eldrick's collection... but now she was being subjected to the Inquisition. Ami looked over intrigued,"When?" It was the first thing she'd said since being questioned. She had stopped crying and twitching an hour ago. About the only thing they seemed to have not done is laid a finger on her. "Oh it was before your arrival in Eldrick's life. It was one of the last times before recently that Joy had had her way with him. He had attacked her when she remade her intentions clear. He was this pissed off. Though he can be more upset..." "You should have seen when one of the lab students had questioned his right to be a Teachers Assistant," Washuu popped another piece of popcorn in her mouth," since so much of the higher level information keeps slipping in and out of his grasp... his armor had appear... turned black..." Ami paled. "And he pulled his sword out of nowhere... he then destroyed the student's binder... the student's project from his indestructible materials class. The student asked how he did that. Eldrick shrugged and said that if the boy could ever figure it out he Eldrick would stop all attempts to graduate on the applied skills program." Konei asked," What's the applied skills program?" "It's off from the subject at hand but a good question. There's an Advanced Program, A Standard Program... and a referral only Applied Skills Program. These all refer to different levels of expectations. Advanced is for geniuses like myself though it was too easy for me. Standard Program is what almost everybody gets... it offers the widest variety of courses... but doesn't allow some at all due to their being reserved for the Advanced Program. Anyway Last there is the Applied Skills Program. While not actually being publically offered... one CAN get referred into it. It takes alot of red tape, but it can be done. The problem is getting the right sponsor. Just being an Avatar won't cut it one bit. Heck if an Avatar can't cut the Advanced Program most are just turfed out. And the Science Academy has ways of keeping even them out too. "Where was I... oh yeah," she claps her hands together,"For the ASP you have to have a sponsor... but you also have to have something that will gain attention to your actual skills. Being able to explain an invention that works is not necessary. Being able to do something that someone hasn't done before is a plus. Enter Eldrick's Emissions Free Fuel -E2F2. E2F2 sealed his admissions with a bang. You see there are tons of emissions less fuels and near emissions less fuels. But most require a hell of alot of labor to make them... and usually the greater the amount... the more work it takes. Somehow E2F2 disobeys almost all laws -probably due to him being an Avatar- it can be made by the ounce or by the gallon via the same back breaking process. The trick is so far only Eldrick can make it. The synthesized version evaporates into a lethal fog than reacts to living cells making a very powerful explosion." "Sorry to interrupt Miss Washuu," Charhon apologized. "Speak your mind." "How big an explosion?" "Well let's say you have a... carrot. When exposed to the fog... the carrot will glow... inside the carrot every plant cell is infected with ... well I won't go too far into details... but the infection spreads like a cancer... but when the entire thing is infected the carrot will have ... Let's see... it's weaker than an antimatter to matter reaction... but anyway the carrot will make a large explosion. Spreading the infection. At this point metals can be infected... because now it infects on an atomic level... getting smaller and smaller and then eventually is too small to carry the infection. Fortunately it can't survive in a vacuum. "And so he got admitted he shows students how he makes the fuel and one of the projects is to describe what the student thinks is happening that is making the fuel. Oczam's Razor, and "Because Eldrick wants it to work." are 2 auto throw out answers. "Did that help?" Charhon had some monsterous sweatdrops,"Um... more than I wanted to know actually." =o==o==o==o= "Damnit woman what is your relation to him! It isn't in your damn file." Joy simply sat there. She yawned again and looked at him flatly,"What does it matter?" The man looked to Suz for knowledge... Suz continued fingerpainting a picture of Joy. Nothing that was going on was phasing her... and the man was happy at that. The device on her forehead kept everything from seeming like more than a polite conversation... maybe even a tea party for all anyone could fathom. She played and played... sometimes tried to get the people strapped to "the funny chair" to play. "Once more what is your relationship to him." "Strictly pleasure." "That's not what I asked!" "I know." "Then answer me you... you... hosebeast!!!" "Sorry I can't do that... if you ... people... don't know I am under no obligations to tell you." "We Did know until all your files deleted themselves 2 months ago." "Too bad. Can I go... your breath is killing me." "Bitch." "Compliments get you no content. If he was my 8th generation decendant... I wouldn't tell you... if he was a cousin I wouldn't tell you. Hell if we were Married I wouldn't tell you. So back up out of my face as the saying goes." "What's so important about telling me? Would you tell someone else? How about my Daughter? I can at least get a vague answer out of her." "What no cortex probe?" "Never." "Oh I guess I could tell her." He facevaulted... hard... then rose up next to her," Really?" "Oh why not... it'll get you to pay attention to her and get that thing off of her for a few minutes." "Off it goes... I'll be outside." Joy masked her voice and all sound from any receiver save the girl's ears. Joy pursed her lips as the girl stopped finger painting. "Little girl I'm going to tell you something important that your father wants to hear." =o==o==o==o= "I'm cold." "So what Secret Agent Girl. You weren't cold before." "Save for my personality. But I digress. I am freezing." "You've ignored it this long." "May I sit next to you for warmth?" "Why?" "I don't want your sympathy so you aren't finding out. Can I sit next to you or get a heated blanket or not?!" "Why not. I'm through yelling. Sit where you like. And it's only 60 degrees in here." She came over and sat next to him, she started shivering less. Eldrick stared into the bowl... more popcorn formed... it warmed. He offered her the bowl. The shrew took it and cuddled up with it rather than eat more than tokenly. "Itssss not helping... my climatizer is... wearing out." "Your what?" He looked over and his jaw dropped... she was shivering violently... and sweat was pouring out of her at the same time. "Are you sick?" "In... a way..." suddenly the process reversed... she was GIVING off heat but looked like a frost bite victim,"Arh... *pant* Every mission I get an injection to one give me knowledge of the target, and two to stabilize my body. This is my longest mission yet. Normally I've already had sex with something which makes my body stabilize itself." "I understand the injections... but you'd have to be... artificial or an alien to need sex to live..." I looked at her again... she'd ripped her outfit off flung the popcorn away from herself and was panting and watching the screen. "You're naked now in case you didn't know. And if you need them dildos and vibrators etc are in an access panel in the arm of the couch. Have at yourself if you need to to live. I can feel the crews leaving outside... I'm going to see if I can get you another injection." "Don't go outside... they'll kill you... orders." "And I'm supposed to watch someone die?" He got up... she grabbed for him... she got his robe... he continued walking. "I'm... not... worth it..." "Yare yare I've heard that one before. I say it all the time. Now then... ah... an unarmed techie is 60 yards out," He felt around beyond the door enacting a running comment as he did so... he could hear her flinging vibrators about in frustration... well she'd get an injection soon enough. He opened the door by will alone and grabbed the guy with air and sucked him into the house. "Damn the Avatar is conscious of the Plan!" The tech pulled out a gun. Eldrick tossed up a shiled of air... when the bullet hit the shield, Eldrick felt the air die. His armored appear but got 2 bullets ripped through it before the unexplanable fear of death gripped the tech... maybe it was the sword at his throat. "Help help! Special Agent help me!!!" "She can't... she's burned off the little shot you gave her. Now she's on a crash course with oblivion if my guess is right. Give her another one." "We can't." "Why not," Eldrick's voice had taken on a dangerous edge. "She was specially made for this mission. Her DNA enhanced... pheromones the works... the injection was her activation formula! There isn't time to make more before she's dead, and who cares about that." "Before I send you out the door so fast the grass will be "watered" by your ashes from the friction you are going to tell me what would save her. Else you can explain it to her in your next life." "Well if you had all the endorphines that that body produced during sex... and I mean all of it... specifically when a female experiences orgasm.... and injected her... maybe." "With your little lockdown I can't get anywhere in time, and back." "Oh well... a shame," he bit his tongue... Eldrick used his powers to bring him back... but the tech had also done something to his brain... which Eldrick suddenly found out was entirely cybernetic as his head exploded raining circuits. "Disgusting... and he's gelded...!" Eldrick dropped the body, and turned to look at Imeria... who had... well let's just say bases were loaded and to euphemize again... she's covered in ants... vibrating ants. Eldrick shook his head... she wasn't even moaning. She might as well have really been covered in ants with baseball players standing around her dumbfounded. "Damn." Eldrick walked over and brushed them off... she wildly grabbed for one of the vibrators that scattered away. His armor gone... he placed his member in her hand. Would she get the idea? She looked at him a little shocked -wasn't compassion in his damn profile???- and then well it wasn't a gleeful gleeful... but it passed. He hoisted her up after pulling the one inserted in the front out and replacing it with himself. She gasped, probably from the sudden lifting. He pulled something out of the open alcove and after wrapping a short hooked bungi cord around his chest handcuffed her legs behind him to keep them high up enough. He then hooked the cuffs to it. It hurt but he was trying to save a life here. He now bleed from 4 chest wounds. The scars if any would make him looked ritually marked. He began her cure. He started easing in and out... she started responding... he worked the one still in her backdoor at the same time. He wasn't sure if it was helping but she certainly wasn't complaining as she wrapped her arms around his neck and closed her eyes. Thrust thrust thrust. He was getting tired as the nanites worked their magic... his wounds were healing but at the cost of him being able to really work her... it had been 20 minutes now... and while he had climaxed she was proving slower. However she was actually holding herself onto him now... and wailing like a banshee. "Can I stop yet?" She shook her head. "Can't stop... you aren't very good at this." He renewed his efforts even though he knew it was a jibe to do just that -she must be feeling fine. He growled to himself. She didn't hear for her moaning. She was on fire from the effort but nothing was happening otherwise... the minutes melted away as he finally came again, but she just moaned and grinded away on him. He kept going for her sake. She moaned in his ear to encourage him. He knelt down and laid her on her back... he couldn't stand anymore... but he continued to try to steer her to orgasm. It wasn't looking hopeful as he realized she was slipping away again. =o==o==o==o= The room was in Chaos as Hope entered the Inquisition's interview area. Eldrick knew and had kidnapped a tech... cameras showed he was having sex with the Special Agent. Hope turned a blind eye to it. They had audio in the Security booth so they knew WHY he was... but they weren't so lucky here... the tech's head explosion had caused a form of Electro Magnetic Pulse that had knocked out their sound sensors. They had refused a sound feed from the Booth. "Incarnation! Why is he raping the Special Agent!?" "To save her... he's kind like that. Whether she's artificial life or not." "WHAT! She can't produce the chemicals needed to save her life. He might as well be practicing necrophilia!" Hope was not one to violence versus non-evil sources. The man obviously simply valued natural life over synthetic. But still the SET of Black Eyes he had now that she was wailing on him was superb. "All life is sacred you bigot!" Suz tugged on her sleeve,"Hi... do you wanna color a picture with me?" Hope stopped her pounding on the girls father,"What?" Hope saw the diode on her forehead. She glared at the man on the floor. "That will stunt her aging and her ability to learn for 5 long years don't you know that?!" "I'd rather that than have her away from me for an instant... or have her warped by what I do." She let him up with a muttered "Baka." "So what does Imeria need?" "Well you see she's a genengineered clone of the original Imeria..." "I know that... skip to what I want to hear." "Endorphins... from orgasm... a large dose infact to sabilize her life functions." "Why do perverts always build technology?" She asked on the ceiling. "No it's not like that... we had to strengthen her, to many things in incubation... the result is this problem... all of Imeria's clones have it... the actual Imeria has a disease that we can't cure... but she's so adept we can't be without her... she has a natural non-linear memory structure that we can't duplicate!" "Spare me... give me a needle. I'll save her." "Are you crazy? No needle can penetrate you. You're an Incarnation... and if you used one of the other girls it would kill them. Endorphins aren't easy to extract... we don't have the equipment or the time." "Then get out of my way I have an idea." She called to her staff... it was reluctant but complied. She raised it over her head... her clothing fell to the floor as she was wrethed in light she twirled her staff about silently... every line and curve of her body glittered in the light accenting her naked beauty 10 fold. The light slowly thickened into clothing... and soon she finished her transformation... her power totally unlocked. She lept once and a cascade of glitter signaled her teleport out. Suz played in the glitter before sitting down to draw "the angel" she'd seen. =o==o==o==o= Eldrick was spent... nothing left in him... Imeria was probably only minutes from death. He had tried. Something was horribly wrong. He couldn't figure out why she was fine for a bit... but now nothing... Hope crashed through the barrier leading up the stairs. Eldrick looked over... he had no strength to move besides to pant. "Hello Hope... she's... almost dead." He said as she pryied the bungi cable off of him... the hooks welled up new blood. She dabbed her finger in it and placed a drop on the end of her staff. He mumbled something... and something like a slap patch formed... whichb she put onto Imeria's cheek. For a second you could see the Nanites enter her bloodstream en masse. "Eldy I know you don't have it in you... but it's time for more sex," her outfit became shimmering motes that fell away in a ring. She dabbed more blood from him... placed it onto her staff... and did something obviously not Holy spellwise... and jabbed the staff in his wound... he bucked under unseen forces... as color returned to his face and his nanites suddenly sealed up the one wound... and were working onn the second. She quickly dripped her finger in the blood again and placed it on the tip of her staff... but the blood only glowed there... she made no spell... though after a second it changed color... and she licked it off. "Bleah." She knelt down before Eldrick who was positively motionless. He was erect... he blinked... but it was like he was functioning on his brainstem only. She began working on getting another part of him erect. He stood up when he stood up and his arms mechanically picked her up... and set her down on his manly rod. She cooed in his ear... he mechanically knelt down and pulled the vibrator out of Imeria's backside and with Hope cooing him on and silkily whispering for him to hurry he plunged it in her backside. She told him to not wait for the pain to subside but to hurry. He began fucking her and she reached a leg around him to hold herself up on him... it was too much stimulus she hadn't had any for a month because of her training. She came hard. He continued... she encouraged Zombie Eldrick. On the floor Imeria opened her eyes... she could FEEL chemicals flowing through her brain... she didn't know how... but she was recovering. She could see what looking like a thread between he skull and Hope's lips. She passed out unable to even cheer or participate. In Hope's uncopiable style... she came again... and again... and again... she'd never figured out how she couldn't masturbate to save the universe but like clockwork during sex she could string them along in ten minute intervals. Again she screamed out her lust and desire as she controlled Eldrick's body making it love her rhythmically. =o==o==o==o= She opened her eyes, and cast about. The cord reached over to the couch now... she was still connected to Hope. Hope stirred from her sleeping position on Eldrick's unconscious form. "You're better now?" "Yes. Thank you. I must go... I have within me the cure for my ... Progenitor..." "God's Speed." Hope slipped back to sleep. She snapped her fingers and was clothed in her uniform. It was a very clever ruse... but R&D now had what it wanted... even if it nearly killed her to do it. She contemplated killing them all after she cured her progenitor -using her like a rag doll. Pah! She'd get them one day. But this house she would never bother again. Her role in it was finished. R&D would see about the rest, and the Future. She carried 2 things out of the house with her that day. The endorphin glands growing on her scalp thanks to the nanites... and Eldrick's seed. Neatly internally locked away and kept warm. Too bad they'd had to do all this just to get that most of all. It was pure chance that she was cured and could cure her Genemother... Or maybe it happened with a little Hope. "Whatever," she thought and stepped out the door. She was gone. No one had ever figured out her real mission. =0==0==0==0==0==0==0==0==0==0= Gods that took a long time to write... enjoy... I did MOST of it today in one sitting. 12pm to 7pm. Boy does my ass hurt! But now to explain some things swiping without asking -No terrified Tako please Beans-sama!- the Beans Formula of "Explain the action at the end to avoid confusion. In this I wanted to lay the background in tightly. After I actually wrote in Ego's part I realized I didn't need to get too detailed. The Truth once was enough. Addendums like the Applied Skills Program is borrowed from the idea of "The College Without Walls" Here in Houston. There you can take tests to prove ability in subjects and get college credits. Never been there personally. I had originally intended to have Eldrick under the spell of the CP and have wild wild sex with Imeria and be done with it... but after Reading Beans-sama's College Life it seemed like it wouldn't do anymore. I probably swiped the illness Idea directly... -Beans just say no to flinging tako please ^.^;;;- as well as the bickering before it. Also probably some ideas from Michael Crichton's Jurassic Park now that I look back. Sorry for all the theft... and if the scene didn't pan out for you my apologies. "She needs chemicals she can't produce." Bullshit? Of course. But Gullibility is one of my problems in a crisis. Hope took it for granted that they were telling the truth. And after a quick scan she realized that was the clone's problem. Now... of course that won't fly... if the body can't produce a few endorphins so what. But I remembered an Episode of Star Trek and an Episode of X-files. I got to thinking about how vital simple little Seratonin is to the body. And went with the though that there maybe a condition wherein if the body can't produce certain things maybe just maybe it could kill. That I turned to sex as the cure works for this series. Sure research would have helped but with the added plot device of time... And speaking of that. The CP wanted one thing only... besides new info for their records which Joy had erased... and that was Eldrick's Semen. Why I'm not saying. It's one of those the continuity if not the actual future itself rests on their research. You know... a plot device ;) The rtrick is they were pretty any means necessary about this. The clone after having sex would be dead -even if she'd seduced and got it she'd be dead... no chemicals remember?- but internally she's not your average girl. She was altered to where even if the body died. Body temp would remain to keep the package alive till it could be taken and studied. Ami's Past is a morbid and disgusting one. She has blocked all of it out of her mind. They brought the walls down. They put them right back up afterwards... and THAT is what is shaking Ami. She'll be ... okay in a little while. But when you fear something you can't recall it's chilling. Look at anyone who thinks they've been abducted. Sure they may only have sleep walked and bruised themselves and gone back to bed. But the Unknown... did they get abducted or did they just sleep walk is very scary. Not knowing can have that effect on the human brain. Any other questions? eldrick@mindless.com is the way to find out :) =0==0==0==0==0= =0==0==0==0==0==0==0==0==0==0= ICH 6 Outline! *for reference only... really* By: Eldrick Okay so outline is a bad title.

Include Inq Dharm and Washuu. Hope and Joy Treated as a little better than equals by CPS. Mention of Current Events in Fanboy Land. The Fabrics Steal a remote control of the Gods for Lossoth.

More to come possibly. Intro being pounded around on adsm-i =0==0==0==0==0==0==0==0==0==0= =0==0==0==0==0= Chaos: One question... how bad IS this going to be? "Max Sterling": Pretty bad. Pesti: Not you again. Didn't you have enough fun last time? Leave us alone. "Max Sterling": I'm just here to represent the author. Little more than a pair of walking eyes. Mayhem: So what's going to happen in this 'ficfic? "Max Sterling": Well you'll see... Chaos: Kowai! Look at his evil grin! Get me out of here!!! Pesti: I think I see the title... =0==0==0==0==0==0==0==0==0==0= A completely not sanctioned production! In the Company of Hope Omake 5: A Fanboys! Fanfanfic: A Wish. The Amazon Trio may be long gone now but the AQ was still causing pain and annoyance all over. Of course with a nice destructive group of fanboys around... the problems are minimal. Chaos: Easy for you to say. You're not at the victory tea parties. Have you ever wore a "kawaii frilly apron-chan??!" Pesti: Easy Chaos... easy... Ignoring the interruption, we find our fanboys studying at Rei's Temple. They've been here about an hour now... and the studying is starting to crumble like a tower made out of rice crispy treats. Why do I say that? Hysteria just arrived. Hysteria announced herself by popping up next to Carnage and saying,"OoooH! Everyone is reading their kawaii little book-chans for class neh neh? Can Hysteria do anything to help Carnage-poppa study neh neh?" Carnage leveled a flat look at her,"You're not my child. Chaos you're daughter's here." "She isn't mine either!" Chaos replied in big demonic head mode. Usagi, the voice of peace, said,"Now now, she could be alot worse so lets just study and not get into a scream fit." Rei looked over towards Usagi as Usagi suddenly laughed,"My my what's so funny?" "Huh?" Rei snatched the book away from Usagi,"Ah-ha!" Rei pulled a manga from inside the book. "Usagi we're supposed to be studying. Not goofing off!" "I only just slipped that in there... honest Rei! We've been studying for an hour... time for at least a little break," Usagi countered. "You know she's right Rei," Makoto said levering herself to her feet. "Mind if I hit the kitchen?" Rei sighed,"No problem... I'm pretty strung out from the studying." "Yeah you're meaner than usual," Usagi quipped. Minako leapt in,"'Well words spoken in anger are usually marked with water.'" Ami sighed,"That's not right Minako." Minako laughed and swetdropped,"Yeah I know... I'll get one right one of these days," suddenly she felt a draft,"Nagumo's here!" "Panties panties Panties!" Havoc bounded in. "Oooh! Panty-chans! Can I see Havoc-poppa?" "Who's the victim this time?" Mayhem said accepting a glass of tea from Makoto. Miyu took the opportunity to glomp onto Carnage, while Rei tried to pry her off. "Oh one of those cute Amazoness Girls. PalaPala I think. She's doing something in the park." All: Nani! "Why didn't you try to stop her, you freak!" Carnage seethed as he started rooting around in his pockets for a nice mecha to pilot over to the park. He was hampered by his arms being pulled this way and that for one last second before the senshi transformed. "How do you think I got here? She blasted me." Havoc retrieved the panty with little pictures of ... himself on them. "Minako... you'll explain this pattern later right?" Minako didn't hear him because she and everyone else was rushing to the park. "Hmm... Miyu and Rei wear the same brand, Hotcha," and in the distance Miyu and Rei let out a yell. MEANWHILE PalaPala: One of these kids HAS to have it... what... all blank! Where is that golden mirror!! Chaos: Stop right there! Sailor Haley is here to put a stop to this. Hysteria: Neh Chaos-momma... that wasn't corny enough. You need to work on that kawaii corny battle introduction-chan. Chaos: Who's side are you on... we only have to beat up the bad girl over there, and get back to studying. Hysteria: Chaos-poppa you should be like Hysteria-chan and study better faster. Chaos: You don't have all that I have to study. The teacher is lenient with you. Hysteria: Is smarter than Chaos-momma! All this time PalaPala was just sweatdropping and mouthing "Chaos-poppa... Chaos-momma?" Chaos: Ha! I'm smarter older and more powerful! Hysteria: Hysteria-chan powerful... you'll see... KAWAII KILLER BUTTERFLY ATTACK! The attack raced out at PalaPala but she jumped out of the way... leaves went flying everywhere due to the attack going off. Trees went flying too but that's not too important. Chaos: With age comes wisdom... COMET CLEANERS SCRUBBER ATTACK! The attack lanced out at PalaPala but she jumped into the air, the attack hit the ground where she planned to land and she slipped. Chaos: Sugoi! It worked. Age wins over cuteness! Hysteria: If Hysteria was older she would have zapped the badgirl-chan. PalaPala: I have an idea! Chaos: You know... I think I know what episode we're in? Hysteria: Neh?! Which one Chaos-poppa? They both looked over in time to see PalaPala's blast hit them... and to make a long story short. All: Too late. Hysteria and Chaos switched ages. Chaos was chibi-fied and reduced to a 12 year old... while Hysteria... was now just as kawaii but much older now. PalaPala: There everyone should be happy now... bye! Mayhem skidded to a halt seeing PalaPala poof out. He then levered his glance forward... and his eyes bugged out. Pesti's jaw was firmly entrenched in the sidewalk... and the Senshi didn't know what to make of it. ChibiChaos: I was really hoping we'd skip this incident. Hysteria: Hysteria-chan is stacked! Sugoi! Hysteria-chan will need a bigger kawaii frilly apron-chan now neh neh neh? Pesti: What did we do to deserve this Kami-sama... what... what? There was a loud crash, but no one paid any heed because they just knew it was Carnage going off somewhere to laugh his ass off in his Gundam Deathscythe. ChibiChaos: There's only one thing that could make this worse... Mayhem: Never say things like that... Naoko Takeuchi could show up to hurt us or... Hotaru: CHAOS-CHAN! A very wide-eyed Hotaru looked on the scene. Pesti went SD and each of the Pesti's said,"Oh no Oh no she's going to cry and destroy the Earth!" A hearty and cute giggle broke the calm. Everyone turned to Hotaru again... she was the source. Hotaru said when she had her breath again,"You're so kawaii this way Chaos-chan... now we can grow up together!" "Haruka... take a look," a stunned but regal voice said. "Michiru... now I've seen everything. Chaos... what did you do and why!" "Huh? What... it's not my fault!! PalaPala did this... you can't blame me for it!!" "Haruka-poppa I like him this way." "It's still wrong... it's still Chaos," Haruka snorted. "Time for a kawaii tea party-chan to commemorate this occasion of Hysteria-chan getting older! Kawaii frilly apron-chans for everyone!" Hysteria opened her eyes and looked around... not so much as even crickets were present. "Waaaaah! Everyone is always mean to Hysteria-chan!" She set off for the Fanboys! apartment dejected... no sooner than she'd left the park then a horde of guys wanting her telephone number, agents trying to get her acting roles in this or that, and girls wanting her autograph because she MUST be some new Idol Singer that will probably soon rocket up the charts. Hysteria soon had a very wide pleasant outlook on the rest of the day. LATER ON BACK AT F! HQ "This sucks! I have 2 sips of Hard Lemonade and I'm seeing stars!" Chibi-Chaos said while his eyes swirled. "Neh Chaos-chan... minors aren't supposed to drink anyway," Hotaru noted. The kana for cruel scrolled past the back of Chaos's Chibi head. "BEAST says that provided you or Hysteria un-wants the wish then you'll return to normal just like the episode," Mayhem said tossing back another bottle. "Just think of how much easier it is to look up dresses this way," Havoc said popping up behind Hotaru and ChibiChaos. "I wish you both happiness." "Shut up pervert, MEGA BRAND!" Carnage tossed the spell at Havoc sending him through the ceiling and out of the building. ChibiChaos was not singled at all. "Nani? I missed Chaos?! But I aimed... I know it... to hit both of them! Maybe I just didn't wanna accidentally hit Hotaru yeah that must be it. FIREBALL!" Chaos was missed again... even when Carnage tried again at point blank he missed. Haruka and Michiru sitting behind the 12 year olds were getting sick of deflecting fireballs... and made sure Carnage knew this as he was thrown at the wall. [Author's Note-thingy: No I'm not trying to hurt Carnage or anything... really... okay maybe I am enjoying this] "Neh Chaos-chan... there's a benefit to being younger, is there not?" "Hai... it's beautiful in a way. Carnage can't smite me. Let me try something," Chaos prepped himself and intoned,"I summon the smiting of the falling cow!" and pointed at Carnage... a calf fell on Carnage. "Well since I can grow up again... I have time to lean more smites. SUGOI!" He in his zeal hugged Hotaru. They both blushed. "Neh Haruka... you going to hurt him now?" Michiru raised an eyebrow and looked at her partner. "I can't bring myself to hurt a kid... I just can't." For a brief second Chaos hopped around the room with the "Yata!" scrolling behind him before Haruka looked back in his direction. The door burst open and was closed a second later and bolted and barricaded. Hysteria was panting like she hadn't breathed for hours... of course she'd only been gone 30 minutes but still. "Kowai-yo! Hysteria-chan's really popular... too popular..." Mayhem playfully patted Ami's hand away,"What happened... people volunteer to have a tea party with you?" "Hai hai... and worse... it was terrible. Neh, everyone wants Hysteria-chan's number or autograph... or to shape my kawaii career in the film industry-chan. Hysteria can't take it anymore!" "BEAST said this would happen... taking into account the Super Playboy Yggdragsil Jacket, Carnage's Tenchi Masaki Syndrome, and Hysteria being Uberkawaii... this is the obvious outcome. It's all due to the age swap... it's enhanced everything." "How can Hysteria-chan fix this kowai situation-chan!" She'd turned on the waterworks. "Calm down... perhaps a solution will present itself in the morning... BEAST is still working on all the variables since this isn't exactly how it had happened in the series," Mayhem shrugged and put his hand down... right on Ami's knee. The couch has seen better days than today,"Gotta watch where I put him hands." "Let's go see where you hands go elsewhere neh Carrot?" Ami pulled him to his feet and out of the room. "So forward I wonder who that reminds me of?" Michiru mused. Haruka coughed into her hand,"Well Hotaru we should be going. It's late." "Hai... see you tomorrow Chaos-chan," she looked him over and sighed. Haruka hung back,"Chaos... if you think I'm going to be nice to you and allow this more readily now that you two are the same age... you have another thing coming." "Akito it's time for bed," Rei was dressed up nicely and beckoning to Carnage. "When you get here?" "Just a minute ago... nap time Akito." Miyu appeared,"Don't listen to her... the night is still young... let's go out somewhere nice and romantic!" Miyu did her signature laugh... during this time Rei tried to drag Carnage away, and it might have worked had Miyu not stopped laughing and engaged Rei in a fireball fight in Carnage's garage. The Door opened... even with Hysteria still attached to it white as a sheet. Pesti came in looking happy and smug. Chaos noticed the look,"You were out with my Mako-chan weren't you?" "Yes Pipsqueak I was. And she's MY MAKO-CHAN!" "Pipsqueak? Listen here I can still whoop your butt all around the room!" Pestilence ignored him and went to the fridge and got a Hard Lemonade before going to his room leaving an attack poised Chaos to sweatdrop. Chaos sighed and went over to Hysteria,"You might want to get some sleep somewhere comfortable." "Hai Chaos-momma," she replied but didn't move. IN HYSTERIA'S DREAM "Megami-sama! Let's me have your number!!" A Boy called out behind her... chasing her... she ran faster. "OH!! OH!!! Can I have you're autograph!!!" A girl called out behind her... chasing her... she ran faster. "Excuse me miss I represent Kadokime Shounen, and you would be perfect for our next film!!!" An agent called out behind her... chasing her... she ran faster. She came upon a beautiful glade... where a wingéd horse grazed. "Kawaii!" She said, and Pegasus looked up. {How'd you get in here... I'll call security... wait... stop... what are you doing with those... KYA!!!!} IN CHAOS'S DREAM "Ha you have lost the ability to smite... you are now an Underlord in training until you grow up again," The looming Face of Pestilence intoned. The Looming Face of Mayhem then said,"I just got a note from the school... they're putting you into a class with other 12 year olds. Welcome to the equivalent of 7th grade again." The Looming Face of Haruka intoned,"You are Marrying Hotaru now that you are the same age. But I don't think the Hotaru fans are happy." The Face looked to a growing angry mob being stirred up by Carnage. "KYAAAAAAAAA!!!!" Chaos calls out... and then the ground beneath his feet gives way and he falls... landing on a field of grass. {Not another visitor} Chaos looked for the voice... and then saw Helios/Pegasus/Horseboy... with ribbons and bows all over him. {Could you help me get these off? Some crazy girl came in here and did this.} Chaos felt compelled to help. He didn't know why. {Thank you... how are all of them?} Chaos turned and saw the angry mob... he panicked. "You have to help me!" {I can't... look} Chaos and the wingéd horse were being separated by a field of ether. Chaos tried and tried to get to Pegasus... with the mob getting closer to him with their chain-saws and worse. He looked and saw Hotaru in the throng... HELPING them... Glaive out... pointing at him. "You never loved me!" Haruka and Michiru in their Bakaretsu Hunters outfits were looking extra malicious,"You made our Hime-chan cry... for that you are as good as dead." Chaos screamed out,"No!" and leapt for Pegasus... and became older on the way. {Magical girls are lighter than you... lose some weight} "Hush and get us out of here, Horseboy!" {Sure fine okay... why am I helping you is a mystery... you are kinda cute though... I bet you'd look spiffy in a sailor fuku...} "No Ideas Horseboy!" IN THE MORNING. "I... survived!" Chaos looked down at himself. "Sugoi! I'm old again!" Chaos posed for a few seconds before... "Chu chu ^-^" "Kya!!! Rampage get off of me! No not you 2 Catastrophe!! TASUKETE!!!" He broke down the door to his room and managed to fling catastrophe off of him one way and Rampage the other. "Chaos-momma why'd you throw Catastrophe-chan at me?" Chaos and the other fanboys looked down the hall at the younger sounding Hysteria-chan, and turned into stone gargoyles and crumbled with the symbols for "Ack! Underage nekkid flash!" due to the fact that Hysteria had slipped out of her clothes due to them being to big... and tattered from the trouble the other day. Havoc appeared then with clothing for the youngster and she was soon more presentable. "Never thought I'd thank Havoc." "Her panties from when she was older is all I require in gratitude." "You are one disgusting pervert." "Thanks Carnage." "No problem. DIL BRAND!" And Havoc was forced out of the scene. As Havoc flew through a wall he said,"PalaPala's in the park again." All: PAYBACK FOR THE UNDERAGE NEKKID FLASH!! Hysteria: WAAAHH! Everybody's mean to kawaii little Hysteria-chan! ~Fin~ =0==0==0==0==0==0==0==0==0==0= Helios saying "You'd look spiffy in a sailor fuku" is from Koku wa Otaku by CDS Productions. At least it's a paraphrase. Fanboys! belong to themselves and they can keep themselves. "Max Sterling" Belongs to me... well not the name or how my Max Sterling looks in comparison to the actual one from Macross... but hey the attitude is all me :) Hope you liked it. =0==0==0==0==0= =0==0==0==0==0==0==0==0==0==0= In the Company of Hope 7 Relationships Prior Knowledge of at least the cast is required. http://the-arc.net/cast.html "Well... while Eldrick is away and you are all unbiased and able to give me complete honesty," Washuu started less than a minute after Eldrick left to present his Final Project for consideration for advancement. "Well what is all this about? I know from Konei's blathering you conned each of us here under different circumstances. And I'm still not sure how I feel about that," Haris put forth. "True true, but everything I promised... I finished and will give you ... after you hear me out." "Start talking then," Margo said as she rubbed very gently a moisturizer on her naked flesh. "Well my topics aren't pleasant. Of course with the general devastation around here I've been thinking about things over there and well... You girls need contingency plans." "What kind of contingency plans... why do I always end up being the one to ask these questions?" Charhon seemed to look inward after speaking. "You were trained and designed for it. Harsh answer I know. But I know you won't think it so. One of the big reasons why I have to ask what I'm going to." "I think we are all ready, Little Washuu," Hope smiled,"So please ask what you like. We'll answer honestly." "A Volunteer. I like that." "Uh oh." "Sorry I gotta use you to prepare everyone else for this bad stuff. Considering the relationship you have with Eldrick what would you do if you had to leave him? And yes consider leaving him forever if that compounds the issue." Hope grew dark,"A bit... rougher... than I was expecting. But I promised to answer. And I shall... considering what you promised. "If I had to leave him... well I do actually. When vacation is up next week... I head back to work. When I'm on duty time doesn't flow quite the same way as one is used to... For every minute I'm truly on duty almost no time passes. So at the end of an 8 hour work day in "real time" I've been working for years. It's one of the reasons I'm not used to relaxing. "Also when I used to relax Lossoth would attack my mind, knowing he has my full attention. So about... well 2 millennia ago I decided to never be off duty. Hence why Inq. Dharm ORDERED me to take a vacation. You all remember what I was like. Imagine having me come back daily like that. And usually I'm even more starved for, him," she sighs," and would waste all my "free time" in the sack with him. "As for what I would do if he told me to leave permanently. I suppose I would bury myself in my work. Work has it's own fulfillment levels. I could survive eternity at work. I say survive. If I ever slept after work I would probably cry myself to sleep as I played with myself ineffectually. You see until Eldrick I'd never... been violated for work or because of capture but I'd never actually... um" she blushes," made a mess of my legs to put it mildly. Not once. And when you factor in "work time" that's a long time of nil in the fulfillment category,"she chuckled,"Probably why you can time microwave popcorn to my screams of pleasure," beets had nothing on her color. "But what would I really do if... I would hope and pray we'd meet again every night when I spend my hour before sleep, and try my best to dream of him... until I ever got to be with him again." Washuu smiled her motherly smile while everyone else teased or kept silent as was their proclivity,"Good girl. You have a strong bond with him, considering the circumstances... and that brings me to my light hearted followup question..." "What do I see in him?" "Um... no... Ami. She's very accepting of you. Does she know?" "Yes she knew from the moment we first met. She hoped about some things and so the pull brought me to her... I still remember the look on her face as I introduced myself. 'We're going to be good friends I know it, I'm Ami Kintaro but you probably knew that.' It had been my turn to look wide eyed... and in the silence she asked if there was anything she could help me with. I said that I only had my work, and she asked what I did. When I told her she asked for an application," Hope smiled and sighed,"I think she would have asked even if I worked at McDonalds." "And you can relax now... you've answered what I wanted... no... I have one more question." "Ask." "What would you do if he asked you to stay forever?" "Inq Dharm would have to use the robot thing that's replacing me now, forever or find someone else to do the job." "I'll take that as a 'I'll do anything for My Eldrick sweety.'" Washuu laughed as Hope went red again. "That looks good with your hair," she cackled. "Evil Washuu. Evil." "You're next Ardice." "Crap. Are they the same questions?" "No." "Ask." "Well this one you've heard. It's not too hard. What would you do Ardice, if Eldrick asked you to stay forever." "You said the questions weren't the same!" "I lied. This one is the floating question. You will all be asked it. Same with the kicking your butt out the door question. Now answer. Girls today..." "Well I would. There's not too much work out there for the skills I possess... so I'd have no trouble staying." "And the sex? Would you keep to letting him have you regularly?" "Less of higher quality I could go for. More of less quality I couldn't. Sex doesn't mean as much to me as it does to him... or some of my sisters. I don't see it as an extension of love like I know Hope does... or as exercise like Haris does... or the only thing one should do next to playing with string like someone we won't name..." Konei looked blank,"I wonder who's like that. Such a girl of loose sensibilities. I mean really." Everyone stared at her. "Oh you meant me? But I gave up playing with string for sex with my Gerard." A round of sweatdrops were passed around. "Well as I was saying... I would stay but I'd ask for relief from the current schedule." Washuu nodded and typed away,"Good enough. Now what would you do if he told you to leave?" "I once liked someone in the Resistance against Lossoth. I would join them. I would use what I have and know to fight evil. No lost causes like fighting Chaos itself... but an Evil that has a chance to be stopped... that I could do." "Nice answer... question 3 is... What all do you actually like about sex... with who or what... do you like devices... whips chains... food... we want details for birthday gifts," Came a voice suddenly. "You're late Joy," Washuu frowned. "I was helping an Otaku with a plumping problem. His girl wouldn't put out, and she wouldn't put out because he had no clue about how to listen OR ask politely for sex. 'Hey look we're breathing. Let's screw like donkeys.' is not a pickup line. I had to possess the pair of them... and then sadly had to help them have sex with each other. So inept. Although it was nice possessing the pair of them it felt like having sex with myself. Oddly they don't have memory of the happening... but when they woke up in bed together they went' at each other like they needed to to survive. So obviously they remembered SOMETHING." "They hoped secretly that something would break the ice for them. You probably reflexively took the memory for yourself, as is part of your job... can't leave them too happy... and to wake with each other like that was probably the straw that broke the camel's back. Afterall one of the only reasons they hadn't yet is because the way he asks for it turns her off like a switch. They didn't have to talk when they woke up naked in bed with each other," Hope shrugged. "They were one of my cases... I guess their hopes dwindled enough for them to be yours." "You put them on the back burner." "Before I met Him, I didn't understand relationships enough. I was going to help them first when I got back to work." "Oops... sorry sis. Apologetic Fondle?" "Um no." "Spoil sport." Washuu cleared her throat,"Yes well. Your next Joy. What is your relationship to Eldrick?" "He's my," Hope shot her a glance,"edible little sexual chew toy," Hope subsided. "I totally and completely enjoy anything and everything with him more than just about anyone else save one being. And the way he says 'No!!' just melts my heart," Joy finished. "Short answer. What would you do if he told you to leave?" "I'd move in. I would be there with him constantly. I'm not going anywhere. He can't make me leave. No one can. And he's not making Hope leave either. I like being able to hear her ecstatic moans. She's never been this happy till now, and I want the best for my sister and me." "Forceful answer. What would you do if he asked you to stay?" "Try to get him to ask me to do more for him," she winked in a totally suggestive way that somehow everyone felt even a baby would understand. Sweatdrops and facefaults were passed around by the force that does that to anime characters. "Alright... Konei. What would you do if Gerard was taken from you forever? Would you find someone else?" "WAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!! No one does what my Gerard does to me as well as he does it!!!! I would... I would cry for a millennia... I'd have to go back to catnip and string for pleasure... horrible! I didn't know you were going to ask such questions," she sniffled and clutched Gerard. "Ooookay what do you think of sex with Eldrick?" "He's too fat for my tastes. He could stand to lose a little. I keep my Gerard thin." "That's because he's almost never not sleeping or having sex with you, you maniac. I don't think the man's gotten a decent meal since he met you," Haris chided. "True, but Eldrick is just too boring and he doesn't have the stamina to keep up like my yummy nummy Gerard does," she clutched him to her breasts in exultation and embarrassment. "In the Commander's defense I must point out that Konei does ALL the work 95% of the time," Gerard said when he could breathe again. "I do?" The sweatdrops were cued and they arrived right on time. Washuu coughed into her fist,"I'll put all answers down as 'Gerard is better than Breathing'. Now Gerard." Joy piped up,"Can I ask one?" "Why not... what harm could it do?" "Okay right... I know... um... What would you do if Eldrick asked to have..." Charhon looked green,"if she says 'sex with you' I think I'll be sick." "Hypocrite," Astrala chided. "Men are... bleah. I shall not discuss it." "Actually I was going to say 'have his honorary commission revoked... would you still call him Commander.' Charhon you must really want to watch 2 guys secretly. I mean damn girl mind in the gutter. Girls with strap-on's I can understand but you want 2 guys to go at it? Hentai," Joy shook her finger at Charhon. Charhon turned 18 shades of red,"You're all misunderstanding me." Margo closed her eyes,"Hush neko." "Yes tachi." "Gerard your answer?" "Well Joy... Washuu... I would still call him Commander. I've seen his dedication to troops and warriors... true it's in video games but he wants the best for anyone under his command. That is a sign of a true Commander if there ever was one. He never treats people like pawns on a chessboard," Gerard finished. Joy nodded as Washuu typed,"Now to answer Charhon's question." Gerard looked at them like the answer was obvious," If the Commander desires such... I take Konei from behind all the time." "No you don't," Konei giggled,"You're fibbing." Gerard blinked and then asked everyone to turn around as he put his finger in Konei's pants and then into her backside. "OH! My mistake. He does." "Konei... I asked them to turn around so they wouldn't have to know." "Oops." Gerard removed his finger, he didn't need to make sure it was clean because the demonettes being anime girls don't need to eat... and since they are inherently magical any wastes just get converted to raw energy anyway. Everyone turned back around. "I'm not making note of that Gerard. I don't have an entry for that," Washuu crossed her arms. Haris muttered,"The cast of Gundam, Kaoru and now Gerard. What's with anime men anyway? Oh well it's cute if done right." "Neato a fellow fan! Wanna watch Bronze with me later Haris?" Joy got starry eyed. "Um no..." "Fiddlesticks, and napalm," Joy went back to waxing her legs which she was enjoying WAAAAAAY too much. Washuu poised her hands over her keyboard,"Astrala you're next." "Hey Washuu! When's my turn?!" "You've been practicing your Ryoko yelling haven't you, Haris?" "That my first question?" "No now wait your turn." "Damnit." "I'm ready for my question Washuu," Astrala frowned at Haris. Washuu sighed,"Call me Little Washuu!" "You're taller than me by 2 inches," Astrala said with a big sweatdrop. "Okay you got a point there. Okay. What would you do if he asked you to stay forever?" "I would of course," she got starry eyed. "Shortest answer yet. Okay if he asked you to marry him and be together with you forever what would you say?" "What about Lady Ami? She'd be upset if I married him right? I'd hate to get in the way of their love... I've only got a little crush... nothing more than that," the growing array of hearts around her spoke differently. "You know Ami, anything for him provided she gets to be his mistress or marry him too. So what's your answer?" "What about Lady Hope?" Hope's breath caught," Don't worry about me... really." "But you love him too I know. Every time you look at him every time he's with you. It radiates from you like if you were Love Uranium. I couldn't get in the way of that... or would you marry him too?" "I'll be a mistress it's enough for me. I don't need a ring. Just him." "Wow just like Lady Ami! Well I know what Margo thinks of Marriage... so I'm pretty sure no one else has to be considered... save maybe Haris. You wanna marry him too?" "If he asked... I guess... I was married once... but he was 'consumed' by that which he obeyed and I haven't considered anything like this since. But yeah... why not? Mistress works too." Washuu's fingers were a blur as she muttered to herself,"Data data data!!!" in an obvious moment of Magical Project S'edness. "Well if I'm not in the way I would marry him and have the prettiest dress and and..." Astrala's oxygen level gave out as the hearts blocked out everything but sound and light and she fainted. Of course the grin on her face didn't fade and she mumbled in her sleep... probably saying yes in the wedding ceremony... and then suddenly after looking really elated she sat upright and woke right up. "Oh that was embarrassing...." Joy looked at the exclamation mark hovering over Astrala's head," Let me guess the joys of the moment worked their twisted magic and you messed up your panties in front of the assembled when he kissed you?" "Um... ah... yeah... hehehehe. What's my next question?" "I don't have the heart to ask it. I'll extrapolate according to your base personae." "Oh okay... Joy... whatcha sniffing for." "You're practically in heat.... or is that me? Wait it's me. Let me tie myself down so I don't attack anyone," everyone felt relieved," but once I'm down anyone can attack me if they want too." Sweatdrops appeared on the scene like cherry blossoms in spring. "Well anyway... Charhon you're next. Told to leave?" "I would ask to stay. He needs someone who has no desire in him at all..." "Could you please stop lying? You get more out of having him than Hope does you walk around like on a cloud for hours. Don't tell me you don't like it. And you've walked about like that even after he's left before. You call his name out in your sleep, you leave the sheets a wreck when he has you, and I KNOW you made a cast of his member and took it to Cool Devices to have made." "I did no such thing!" "I have the purchase order. Or did you think you were talking to Ryoko last month?" She flashed the piece of paper. Margo hugged Charhon,"My little neko all grown up and going bisexual again on me!" "I'm not bi really..." Charhon said with sweatdrop in evidence. "YAY! Sis got over Lossoth and most of Hell sexually ignoring her for the past 2500 years!" Astrala trumpeted. "You're all making fun of me..." "We're proud of you," Haris placed a hand on her shoulder. Washuu considered,"So if I asked what you would say if he asked to marry you you'd... faint just like you have now. Guess that's it for your questions." Margo and Haris looked at each other. They launched into Rock Paper Scissors. 3 ties in a row became 5. They narrowed their eyes at each other. Margo: We could try an Orgasm competition. Haris: Trying an Orgasm competition wouldn't work. Hmm. Haris deciphered Margo's words from out of her own since they'd spoke simultaneously. "Come on you always win." "I know. But you can go first this time," Margo smiled... then reddened and swatted Joy's groping hand. "None of that." "But I need something I won't last 5 more minutes..." Washuu looked at the tied down to a table Joy," I wouldn't do this normally but..." she snapped her fingers and machines went after the encouraging Joy. Washuu set up an anti noise generator. "There... Now... Haris. Can't ask the marriage one... been answered. If he asked you to leave... would you?" "I stayed with Lossoth after he pointed towards the door thousands of years ago. I felt I belonged and wasn't going to leave just because he was tired of my body. I wouldn't want to leave here either. If he made me go... I'd stay nearby. Where I belong now is near him. I may not really love him. And while I've had better I prefer normal saltine crackers to RitzŽ if you know what I mean. I feel he needs me. He needs all of us. He's a fragile little man and we are a part of his life. By doing as we do we show him pieces of himself and he's less inhibited to be himself when he's around the familiar. So I couldn't leave. I like the little butterball to be happy," she smiled warmly. The now free Joy swatted Haris on the buns and said,"Fantastic answer." "Yeah whatever... hands off my ass." "You didn't say that last night." Haris looked at her shocked,"I was with Eldrick ALL night last night by the pool." "I love my powers of disguise." "Joy..." Haris got angry and then subsided,"No point in retaliation... though I'm not too appreciative of the deception," She frowned. "No wonder he wanted to put a candle in my..." Washuu leapt up and clapped an hand over her mouth,"I don't need the image Haris dear." "Sorry." Joy shook her head,"What image? Candle in her MOUTH like a cigar tapping the wax like ash onto my disguised posterior? All part of my plan to get Eldrick to like more things." Washuu scratched her head,"Thank god it wasn't worse. Last question Haris. What do you think Ryoko needs to do... or any of the girls to get Tenchi to understand their feelings better?" "Tell him how they feel. Only way. He might not suddenly decide one over the others... or 2 or more over the rest but it's important to let someone know how you feel." Washuu looked at her strangely,"You're based on MY Ryoko?" Haris bristled her wings unfurled,"What did you just say you little mad genius! It's just a fact that with all the teasing and flirting Tenchi doesn't know up from down!! Just when he might make a decision boom they do something stupid! If I'm a bit more open than Ryoko fine and dandy, but you don't have to sound like I've got a disease!!" "That's better," Washuu flew into typing again. "Margo." "Perfection is at your beck and call." Washuu looked around her monitor,"Yes well. Question Number one. How did it feel for Imeria to have Eldrick in her power for even a short time?" "I felt betrayed," everyone looked at her concerned as Washuu asked her to explain,"When I'd been captured by the Continuity Police a hundred years ago they copied my memories for use in their Perfect Agent experiments. Imeria was the result. Before her illness took her they made me reinforce everything. Tell her how to use magicks to shut off her nerves in any part of her body to do her job better. That she would be unleashed on Eldrick sickens me. I feel relieved that she might have actually enjoyed him at least peripherally through the clone, but still I didn't teach her under duress or not so that she could do that to someone I have a place in my heart for. The Clone was her... she KNEW I was upstairs and watching... and she still did her job. I hope the real one slaps the clone for me when she's cured." "Is it true you actually have to... ahem to live?" "Your data is accurate. Once a week or I will screw anything and everything in my path until I'm sated. I can build it up... and have been daily with Eldrick. I'd tell him that reason but I don't want his pity or to inconvenience Ami or Hope because he thinks I need more of his time than 2 hours a day. I can be with anyone and be fine, but he'll think it's supposed to be him... in his cute way. Though human male pheromones extend the time better. Also he's so innocently inexperienced but curious... very curious in fact. I know he doesn't learn anything because he's just an avatar, but he's still fun." "Thank you all. This has been most informative." The door opened after a knock,"Little Washuu it's tea," Tenchi got a look at all the visitors," Oh I see you have visitors, are they joining us for tea?" Astrala whispered to Washuu,"Why is he acting like he doesn't know us?" "Neuralized. CP did it after the kidnapping. And I'll have to do it myself this time," louder she said,"Of course Sasami can cope right?" "She made plenty... we have Tourists at the Shrine and the last Bus left already. Dad's still at work so they're stuck for a while. Sasami felt sorry for them and they are here for a while. There's plenty for if another 10 people showed up beyond your visitors." "Yippee! Come on you motley crew it's Tea Time," Washuu hopped from her seat and beckoned for everyone. "Wow, Washuu your visitors resemble some of the other girls staying with us." "Um their distant relatives, save for this one," She points at Haris," This is Zero. She stepped out of Ryoko for some air last night. The others arrived while everyone was out at the store earlier." Tenchi looked a little flushed as Haris launched at him,"Oh Tenchi I've missed you... Ryoko isn't around you nearly enough... But I have a secret I can tell you... She really likes you. But you can't let on that I told you. Nope," Haris giggled," She'd be so... embarrassed." "Tenchi... Washuu... o/~ It's Tea Time o/~ . The Tourists from Juuban High are Waiting to have their tea, and Have you seen that girl named Rei Hino who was with the tour? Grandfather says he saw her come this way. Grandfather... sounds like I'm part of the family or something," She spotted Konei,"Who's this?" "Don't get too close!!!" Washuu called but it was too late. Konei and Mihoshi shook hands... and the section of the lab they were in imploded and then exploded sending them out in a heap by the staircase in the Masaki home. "Um... Washuu?" started a smoking Tenchi," What happened?" "There was a reaction between their levels of curiosity about all the buttons around them. At a speed unrecordable they showed each other all the buttons lights and switches and pushed every one of them. We then felt the resultant reactions of their curiosity. I'm still studying data but I knew they shouldn't come into contact. But enough of that. Tea time." "Wow! What happened in here? You're all covered in soot! Shouldn't try to crowd through a door like that. Can we have Tea now I am SOOO hungry I could die I really could," the blond announced. "Usagi get back to the table and stop being rude!" A dark haired girl said walking around the pile of people that was rearranging itself. Grandpa Masaki busied himself with helping the "wounded" but said between arm ups,"Miss Hino we are fairly relaxed about manners around here since it only us to know. Right Tenchi?" Tenchi was still swirly eyed,"Whatever you say Grandpa." "You had curry for lunch didn't you? I can smell it... quite nice and warm," Margo said while helping Tenchi to his feet. "Yeah Sasami's a great..." he noticed her level of clothing," cook... AIE!" He clamped a hand over his eyes. She removed it. "I love being looked at and I find it an affront to my personal honor if you shield your eyes." "I'll be happy to look at you Miss!" "Dad I'm shocked!!" Tenchi chided his father who had knelt in front of Margo. "May I have the honor of knowing your name Miss?" Nobuyuki floated to her with his eyes taking in the sights. "Marjherie de la Croix... but I'll let you call me Margo. Now After tea would you like to give me a backrub?" "Would I!" A tsunami seemed to appear behind Nobuyuki as he clenched his fist. The symbols for "Victory at last!" appeared behind him in Japanese when the waves crashed. "Then you can't look at any girl but me this night. Or I shall be offended and not let you." He bowed formally,"As you wish Margo." Margo leaned in next to Tenchi,"There... now he'll behave during Tea with all these girls in the house. I'm smart neh?" "Wow! I'll say," Tenchi clapped,"Just don't let him get out of hand." "I can lift 400 tons and bend steel by looking at it. I'll be fine. I'll see everyone at the table." She walked around the corner and greeted everyone. "Hi all. And before you ask I know that I'm not wearing anything. Think of that what you like. I'm shameless," She winked at everyone. "My she's just as big as Mako-chan," said a smart looking girl with short blue hair. "AMI-CHAN!" Ami-chan blushed profusely,"I didn't mean it that way." Another blond looked at Ami-chan,"Ami-chan's a pervert." Joy leapt around the corner dragging Hope behind her,"What a coincidence so am I! I'm Joy and this is my sister Hope. We're perverts too! Blue Hair POWER!" A round of laughter burst forth directed at the blushing Ami-chan when everyone looked at Joy's hair color and outfit. "Priest Masaki? Is it always like this?" Rei Hino asked Grandpa Masaki. "Yep." "Rei-chan you are never picking a tour site again," she said to herself. Ardice patted her on the shoulder,"Insanity and Stupidity are hard to avoid. Let's have some tea. It smells soothing and with Konei AND Mihoshi here we'll all need the tea as a muscle relaxant. Kiyone probably would have joined them -and then all the "sane" people would be in one place... [Author's Note: No not for the ease of snipers! ... I didn't say that.] ... But she was Bubble Head wrangling... trying to get Mihoshi and Konei to the table, with Usagi trying to help her but failing. In other news Sasami, Astrala, and the girl pointed out as Mako-chan were trading recipes and cooking secrets. There was much flurry in the kitchen as they easily kept even Usagi yummy-fied. Of course by this point their recipes were getting as complex as design schematics for a lunar landing. Grandpa Hino rather than being with his Granddaughter Rei-chan and fellow Priest Katsuhito Masaki, as they talked about Shinto with Ardice and Kiyone, was instead busy talking in hushed tones about disgusting things with Joy while Ami and Hope sort of sat there absorbing the verbal melee in the room. Tenchi was probably the only one besides those 2 NOT talking as he sat between Haris and Ryoko and Minako as they discussed men in general. Aeka and Charhon were off knitting and complaining about the noise and etiquette lack. Washuu walked over to Ami-chan and Hope,"I need some helpful people to unload groceries for a friend. It's quieter there," she smiled as they stood. They went into Washuu's door and Ami-chan complained about a lack of room before Washuu -lying well- said that it was a tunnel to a friend's house as they hoped onto a conveyer belt to an elevator. "Miss Washuu are we going up or down?" Ami-chan asked. "Miss Mizuno we are making physics scream right now. Right Hope." "Yes. It would be nice to explain more but some of the technology is still secret and or experimental." "I simply love science so are we traveling in a theoretical conduit between dimensions or similar?" Ami asked whipping out a palmtop computer from her purse. "Absolutely right Miss Mizuno, In fact it isn't theoretical, and we are traveling between dimensions to where I live with the "motley crew" as Washuu put it," Hope smiled as she explained," Right now we are traveling through space a bit, time a bit, but mostly thought but not in a linear fashion." "I see what powers this? A miniature black hole or some such?" "A fusion furnace on "our" side. Otherwise the dimensional pocket we are heading to would be contained and have zero interaction with the universe around it." "Fascinating. How was the pocket found?" Washuu interrupted,"We're here! Miss Kintaro should be downstairs. I would have taken us to the basement but we'd have entered the floor in the wrong place due to the fact the elevator is out of dimensional sync itself." A voice from below,"Little Washuu is that you?" "Yep I brought some wall flowers to help." "Wallflowers? Ah Hope! You remember where my car is parked. Oh who's this? Where are my manners? Greetings I'm Ami Kintaro." "What a coincidence my name is Ami also. I'm Ami Mizuno. My friends and I are visiting the Masaki Shrine." "More girls in the Masaki Residence? Poor Tenchi. Not to infer anything of course." "I understand perfectly. But not all girls. My friend Usagi got her boyfriend and cousin and little brother to come too. They are probably still exploring a local cave. They'd gotten lost arriving and so had tea before we did." "The house must be packed," [AN: for ease I'll use Kintaro and Mizuno] Kintaro said to Mizuno as they grabbed more bags from the car. "Yes I fear we'll eat them out of house and home." "No need to worry, I've got enough to feed an army." "And I noticed if it's okay, that alot of it is ice cream." A Voice spoke from the kitchen,"Ah yes the magic words. Ice Cream." "Ego stop it. Let us unload first." Ami-chan looked for the source of the voice,"Miss Kintaro... who's speaking." Ego made armlike waving gestures, as he said," Make note of the form in shadow on the wall. I'm immaterial. I am the Ego of the rather spineless Eldrick Tobin, whose probably still wasting his life at that Imperial Science Academy place. I understand your name is Mizuno?" Mizuno tucked something back into her purse,"How do you do... Ego." "I'll do better when you are all done loading groceries into the fridge so I can load ice cream into me." "If you're immaterial..." "Ah but I cast a shadow and can eat and touch things. Like your shoulder," he did so, and she was intent as she tried to poke him back,"It's one way... well Eldrick can whack me but that's about it. Done yet?" Kintaro reentered the kitchen,"Yes that's all of it, Right Hope?" Hope nodded as she took the groceries from Kintaro and put them away. "Thanks for distracting Ego Miss Mizuno," Kintaro smiled," Have at it Ego. One gallon a day max." "Bah to your rules." "I can get my staff..." Hope poked the air where he would be,"I can get mine also." "Ladies let's try to not be violent. 1 gallon Aye!" Ego pulled out a tub and started into it. "Miss Hope... how does he actually eat? This is fascinating." "Well Miss Mizuno, his shadow interacts with the shadow of the tub of ice cream." "Makes more sense than his explanation." Ego grumbled,"Do I ask how you have blue hair? It's just the way it is. Nyah." "Ego you are quite funny," She said giggling. "Yes he is funny in the head... and rude beyond measure," Kintaro smirked. "Well let's get some relief supplies to the Masaki Home." "They probably need it with Usagi around." Washuu grabbed a bag after finishing her study of Ego eating ice cream, and pushed the button on the elevator. "Miss Washuu can I see what it looks like Outside first?" "The Ami over there is the one to ask." Kintaro smiled,"Go ahead... but it's barren." "Barren how so?" Mizuno opened the door and looked out on the grand expanse of grass and sunless yet bright sky. She started entering data into her computer. "Thank you." "Actually we should bring the party here. As you can see there is more room, and our kitchen is more packed." "Shingo would have too many questions... more than me. He'd wonder if we were in the mountain, How the lights work. If we told him we were in another dimension he'd scoff and think we've been watching too much Anime. I'm not even sure if I can understand this all myself... Oh look birds!" "What? Back inside." "What's wrong miss Kintaro?" "Let's just say 'evil'" "Kintaro... here's your staff," said Hope now garbed for battle. "Thanks," she twirled it once in her hands it's three foot length glittering the air. Hope stepped outside the door and pointed her staff at the bird, and an eagle of light leapt from it and winged it's way to the vulture of darkness. "Now Kintaro while it's distracted," Hope called. "Right!" Kintaro pointed hers up -Mizuno noticed she was dressed differently- and a jay of light leapt forth to join the eagle in battle. The Jay got there and after a few minutes of fierce fighting the jay distracted the vulture enough for the eagle to execute it's final strike and cut the vulture to ribbons with it's fast moving gust of feathers. The birds all vanished. "What is the name of the evil you just fought?" Ami-chan asked calmly. "A demon of hell who gets power from anger directed between people on Usenet," Kintaro said shimmering back to normal clothing. "I see." "Don't concern yourself. It's our and Eldrick's Problem at least fortunately it's only our problem mostly," Hope said with a smile... as she dashed up the stairs naked. "Her clothing doesn't reform?" "Her only drawback. She is the Incarnation of the Hopes and Dreams of everyone in the Multiverse. Her name is fate or an accident. Her sister Joy... is not Joyful at all and is the Incarnation of Depression. She consoles those who feel beyond consolation. Two halves of the same... blueberry," Kintaro giggled. "I notice you don't mind telling me this..." Mizuno said carefully. "Hope's a universal power... and in this con... dimension your lives are a TV show." "Oh dear. How many are in this dimension?" Mizuno asked worriedly. "Eldrick, Me, Hope, Joy, Ardice, Haris, Margo, Gerard -you didn't see him at the party cause he snuck back here to Security... wave at the camera it wierds him out-, Konei, and Astrala. One utility automaton Workbot, and some vehicles. Our Enemy knows too but he can't reach you. He doesn't want to tangle with some of the dimensions in between and when Chaos was in power he didn't want to fight him for turf he couldn't hold -or win the fight for. Here though he's stronger... but he's pretty inept. Eldrick and him are pretty matched for power usually... though Eldrick forgets he has any at times. Glad you asked?" She chuckled at Mizuno. "But still we could help..." "Tell me... have you ever seen a guy naked outside of health class?" "Heavens no! What kind of a question is that?" "Did you ever remotely like being tied up by the enemy?" "Of course not!" "And by that admission you are too innocent. Revel in that innocence. Lossoth -his name- uses perverted tactics at every opportunity. Joy's Deputies succumbed to his influence of their dreams and waking thoughts. Now they are unclaimable. Joy fortunately was only able to be sweet talked for a little while but she never turned to his side." "Or I'd be fighting my sister," Hope said dressed again... in the same outfit. She'd taken it off at least to avoid it getting shredded. "A fight I don't want. It's one reason why we don't accept. Plus all the girls here who were swayed away from him -if they ever really were his beyond their creator- are all powerful in their own ways. We have enough fighters. Thank you for the offer though. But in truth unless you want dreams about overly friendly... octopi... I'd retract the offer," Hope smiled and picked a grocery bag up,"They have sake over there now... best to get some food in them to blunt the edge." "You're right of course. Sorry to presume you needed help," Mizuno said blushing and staring into the groceries she was carrying. "Hey don't worry about it. We're honored you offered. You worry too much for an Ami," Kintaro winked at her,"Back to the party we go." "Yes." MEANWHILE "Now that I'm in this tube I can finally present my inventions," Eldrick said standing in some tube-like apparatus that had some liquid flowing over the outside of the tube to be recycled back. "We thought this WAS the project... a device to completely stop sneezing?" One of the Panel of 3 judges said. "This? Heavens no. This is just a throw together that is possible because of my research paper which is item one in front of you now," he bowed as Workbot scuttled along and presented the copies to each judge,"I found out there is a certain resonance frequency emitted when you talk about someone who isn't in the room. It also factors into recognition of one's name, or title. The reason why I was sneezing earlier is because people were talking about me back home or elsewhere. This device because of that research enables one to block those resonance signals. I can still hear my name and recognize it as me but if someone uttered a called name and I didn't innately think they meant me I wouldn't receive the signal. A 'Hey jerk!' wouldn't get me to turn my head." "We will count this device as a bonus to the paper. You're entry in devices please." "Of course," workbot wheeled it in. Eldrick thanked him and then went on to describe it," This is a merging of 2 technologies of mine. A VR fantasy world device, and a holoscripter. I presented these a few months ago separately. Now I have combined them. I regret not being able to present it sooner in the semester but my prototype had been stolen. My second prototype I had to scrap due to some unforeseen overloads. One of my students will have to demonstrate due to not wanting a fit of sneezing to interfere with the presentation." "Send her in." A girl walked in with her purple hair in long flowing ringlets with stars tied to the ends of every individual hair. She bowed to the judges and to Eldrick before moving off to the device. "Ready." "Excellent," he pushed a button and a three dimensional view screen flickered to life in front of him. "First notice how the 2 devices can be used separately. My assistant will holoscript a part of a free flowing piece she did for a writing class when younger." She bowed and placed the goggles on her eyes. The view screen lit up," Dark night sky with ominous clouds... yes like that old style earth house... bigger... right," she called up a menu and cycled through backgrounds picked and combined a few and set them. She pulled up a person icon and picked traits and visuals. She picked out an earth car and detailed it and put him in it. She added a road and put him and the car on it. She put people in the house around a bed that she'd just added. She detailed everyone. She tied in dialogue boxes and spoke their parts. She added a doorman who would only open the door when the man's path showed him in front of it. She laid down other walking paths and then hit execute: It was a dark and stormy night on that vile bending road. The car trying to leap to it's death at every curve... but the medicine HAD to get there. It just had to. The little girl would die without it. The car ground to a halt infront of the busted gate. Running pell mell the man raced to the door and only knocked once before the doorman opened it. Taking the steps 3 at a time he reached the top and bolted past some maids trying to clean and not worry about their mistress. The room reached he said,"I've got it. How is she?" "Well," said the doctor,"She's getting pretty bad... give me the package. I might be able to save her with this but... time will tell." "Oh my little angel... be alright," the mother cried before taking her daughter's hand in hers. It was several minutes before there was any sign from the girl at all, and then another 6 before she regained consciousness. "Am I okay now?" "You should pull through nicely," the doctor said smiling. The action faded and paper poured out of the machine. She presented it to the Judges who passed it amongst themselves with smiles and nods. She then took it back and put it into the VR device. "The VR world simulator can take almost anything as input and extrapolate further giving any and all characters AI's and new dialogue. A mysterious man in white always seems mysterious beyond the programmed text and will only reveal himself or not according to the extrapolated AI. Ah it's ready," he said after a ping from the device. His assistant adjusted the frequency on the goggles to the VR Simulator and the view screen kicked into life again. "I choose to play the part of the doorman, and the world will react to me as such," she said with a nod and tinkle of stars. Everyone heard the screeching tires in the distance. The mother looked out the window to see the car racing up,"Percival? Be sure to open the door the minute he reaches it. Can't have a draft but can't keep him waiting." "Yes madam." Up rushed the man with a package under his arm who slipped in the mud in his zeal but managed to keep moving forward and back onto his feet. The door opened before him and he rushed up the stairs 2 at a time. The doorman followed him seemingly anxiously. "I've got it. How is she?" "You could have killed yourself traveling at such speeds. But she's all the more likely to pull through for your haste," the doctor started working on the cure,"You know one false move and you'd both be dead? She has 6 more hours you know. Callous of me to say that yes but it's true." "I don't know what I'd do without her, or you dear," the mother said as she let go of her daughter's hand and embraced her muddy husband. "Now don't fret little one... this won't hurt more than any other injection you've had," the doctor said to the unconscious patient before inserting the needle into her welt covered arm. The nurse changed the compress on the arm and smiled warmly down at the purple haired child. "May she be better for this and not have her precious little life shortened to nil." "Good words nurse. All we can do now is wait." "I'm going to time-lapse this... new feature since Eldrick put in the device last time." Quickly the welts shriveled up and drained with some scalpel cuts from the good doctor, but they didn't refill, and soon the skin tightened again and a little blood flowed from the cut marks. "Time lapse ending." "Am I okay now?" "You should be right as rain. Now get some real sleep. I check up on you in a few hours," the doctor put his tools away. The mother tapped the doorman on the shoulder who turned,"Shouldn't you be at the door?" "Madam I had to see if she was okay. I don't ever want to open the door to paramedics again." "I understand," she patted his shoulder. The view screen faded. "Good Showing. Now together right?" "That is correct. Amalase would you reconnect the machines?" A deft motion later she was done,"Now what had happened before is still in the VR devices memory and we'll use that with the new features inherent in the holoscripter." "For your approval we have added an evil zombie undead creature thing to the front yard," she said as she added it with deft gestures that the doorman character didn't make,"Appearances are why the arms aren't moving with me. I could have them do so for a look similar to spell casting. Also the mouth isn't reacting... again for appearances. If I was saying this the characters I pass in the hallway would react also." "Help there's some thing attacking my car!! Percival help!" "That's my cue," she smiled into the goggles,"Master I'm coming." "Use your revolver!" A revolver was in Percival's pocket and soon fired a few shots at the zombie who turned and lurched towards them. "What's going on Eldrick?" "Change frequencies whoever has my prototype is hacking in. There... it just fell over dead again from the wounds. Eldrick's assistant turned off the machine and wiped the buffer. The holoscripter spit out the altered manuscript and a copy of the original. "Judges I'm sorry." "Quite alright it was seeming too perfect." Judge one smiled. "Yes quite satisfactory... adds that touch of the unknown." Judge two chuckled. "Is it because the goggles are wireless?" Judge three inquired. "Correct sir," Eldrick answered as Workbot wheeled in a vat with a crane like attachment into the vast judging hall. Amalase wheeled the devices to the side out of the way of the vat. "Not a problem if you don't go wireless correct?" "Not one bit. And for added safety the wireless input device can be disconnected if one is truly worried about outside intervention which my device only has issues with when the master connection is wireless, but I've noticed sapient beings have their mental off days. Example there are people on Earth who needed assurances that something like a network card needs to be Year 2000 compliant. Network cards don't even use dates." "A sad thing. Is this you genetics experiment? You opted for genetics over space considering the nanite issue?" "Yes Judge. I'd forgotten about this project. It was something I'd done before the nanites. It does itself use nanites but not of the same grade. It's a cloning vat. One cell is all it needs. You can put in cells from multiple people and tell it what traits you want from each and boom amalgamation. You can have it create a cell via the VR devices over there and then clone that. There is one side effect but it's beneficial." Judge two quirked an eyebrow," And that is?" "The clone is almost always better than the original in some way and less in another. A genius may gain cognitive speed but lose some manual dexterity. An ordinary girl could gain powers like a magical girl, but the draw back on that being now she has to deal with the newfound abilities... and she may be prettier which has it's own dilemma's. Amalase... are you sure?" "Yes. I've always wanted a sister, and I'm the only non twin in my whole family back for generations." "Place some small bit of cells of any type into the vat anywhere." She pulled a hair out and put it in the vat. A screen popped up out of the side of the vat with a keyboard attached. Amalase did some adjustments and the view screen now showed what the little screen had. She then attached the VR devices to a port in the side of the vat. Data poured into the VRDS [VR Device Suite, for brevity] from the Vat. The 3d screen went splitscreen. "I've done some tinkering as you can see. It's all so that I can see what the final product -sorry for the thoughtless description. Let me start over. It's all so I can see what the individual will be like afterwards. Taller thinner darker complexion... these things change via the process. One can even tweak to get as near as possible to the desired result. Amalase." "I want my sister to have yellow almost golden hair and silver eyes to my purple hair and red eyes," The vat and the VRDS compiled the desires together and then ran her new sister through tests Amalase programmed into the VRDS... which the results printed out when done. "She'll run a little faster but her psy powers will be a little weaker. She's decided she wants to be called Inase after my great grandmother. Can I send her through now Eldrick?" "Do so." The vat burbled and then grew still as nanites went to work with their new commands. 5 Minutes later the crane-like part reached in and pulled her out. She was clothed in a wetsuit which she took off of herself and placed to the side. Underneath she was dressed a bit differently from Amalase... like a girl who wants to show herself off a bit but not too much... unlike Amalase who wore want fit and looked nice. Unseen fashion sense "upgrade" "SIS! Oh it feels like it's been an age... and it has since the hospital lost me. At least I wasn't raised by wolves or something. Won't mom be shocked?" "What about the woman who raised you?" "Kagato destroyed the planet I was living on while I was applying here. The doctor in charge of genetic screening nearly had a hemorrhage. 'Are you a clone' he says. 'No I'm not I say.' 'Well you have someone who could be your twin here.' And poof here you are!" She finished before smiling,"Think mom will buy that cover story? I just thought it up." "We've lost family to Kagato before... should be perfect." "Great! Think I can get admitted here too? My brain is itching with ideas." "Same here Inase same here." The judges were a bit stunned,"And this has no... what do you call it... Avatar tech?" Eldrick stopped smiling at the sisters and nodded," Completely reproducible... although the duplicate machine in storage here doesn't add anything extra. It clones and allows you to add extra but it doesn't just decide to." "That's fine." "Fine just fine." "Fine." Judge one looked at Eldrick,"There will be some deliberation and you should have a decision in 4 days. We'll see to Inase's admission report and admission project." "Oh that's right my project. Here. A nanite based 'Swiss Army Knife' can come in handy just about anywhere. And it has limits so they can't build space craft or anything." Amalase's eyes went wide,"That is great it would work wonders with my entry project which was a campsite in a can. I couldn't get enough compression in the metal so I scrapped that. Now all we need is a pan that makes it's own food." "That gives me ideas." "Yeah me too. Are we dismissed Eldrick?" "Yeah girls... go catch up. Have fun... planning. Wow their gone fast," Eldrick smiled and then turned to the Judges. "You too are dismissed Teacher's Assistant Eldrick." "Thank you for your time and considerations sirs." "One last question... Inase won't need any kind of special foods will she? Will the clones from the other vat need anything special?" "Inase is a full fledged 26 year old girl. Just like Amalase. The clones from the other vat will need nothing special either." "Wonderful. You may go." Eldrick signaled workbot to take the vat back home via the portal with the VRDS. Eldrick then wheeled in the other VRDS he'd made and punched for someone in storage to bring up the other vat. He bowed one last time to the deliberating Scientists who were judging him and left after Workbot. After he was out of the room the Judges turned around and looked down. "Do what you need to Imeria. We will cooperate with the Continuity Police." Imeria smiled her cold smile that was augmented by the fact she was still recovering from her one time problematic illness,"I thank you and the CP thanks you." She walked over to the vat and picked up the goggles. She made some quick adjustments to her cell then after tossing a vial into the vat... she commanded the nanites to open the vial. The glass broke open and the contents of the vial interacted with the cell she'd created. The cell began dividing and then at one point the cell split into two and they too divided. She smiled her cold smile again. Then she frowned and said to herself,"If only the CP had this kind of cloning tech... I liked being part of a large family comprised of myself. Too bad they all died save one. Just too bad." That one survivor walked in and kissed her progenitor,"How goes it, hun?" "Perfectly. The twins are progressing nicely. You'll have to help me with the other clones." "More than willing. I remember exactly what they look like. No problem." They leaned on each other and watched the screen as a womb formed around the fetuses and began to feed them properly via umbilical cords. MEANWHILE "What a day," Eldrick said stepping out onto the grassy expanse. "Workbot I suppose we'll have to put that back in the Arcade... I just don't have the heart to dismantle it. Maybe Washuu has some room." "Someone call my name?" Washuu said as Eldrick opened the door and closed it behind him. "Oh hi... Little Washuu... what brings you... here?" "Miss Washuu who is this man?" "Oh him? Snuggly here is Eldrick. Eldrick, Ami Mizuno. Introductions aside grab a bag and put some ice cream in it. There's a party we have to get back too." He set a bag up and did just that... fighting with Ego of course but he won out when he said he'd personally order more for him. The real expensive kind not the bluebell Kintaro had bought. "Now where is the party?" "Masaki Residence." "Who's all there? The Masaki Conglomerate and some tourists from Juuban High School." "I see," He gave an I'll-have-to-ask-how-that's-possible-later look. "Party time," Hope said and punched for the elevator. Workbot was in it's FAR increased size with the Vat and VRDS,"Hi Workbot." Mizuno asked,"Wasn't the elevator smaller? Oh wait it's dimensional properties can probably be stretched. I should have just figured that out before speaking." "Hey Eldrick where you taking this?" Washuu asked looking it over. "Man you put some time into this... no bailing wire and bubblegum anymore. Heck it looks one piece." "The second floor I have a space cleared." "I'll let you keep it at my place if I can study it a bit." "I left a copy at the Science Academy with a VRDS. But I'm glad you are offering the space. I miss my arcade being an arcade," he smiled. "Why'd you leave a copy at the SA?" "A new regulation enacted last year. Someone's seemingly perfect project blew up taking out a wing." "You're alchemy meets the periodic table experiment?" "Yes it proved unstable when a curious janitor flipped it on. I guess he turned it on without resetting it... so now you have to have a certified copy of the schematics, detailed instructions... yada yada." "One mistake for a student one colossal blunder for the school. I did worse." "I trust we don't want to know?" Mizuno said with a smile. "Got it in one. Bingo! Basement... Washuu's Lab and entrance to Big party at Masaki Residence. BECAUSE THE AUTHOR DOESN"T KNOW WHAT GOES ON AT PARTIES BEING A BIT OF AN ANTI-SOCIALITE... WE FLASH TO THE AFTER PARTY CARNAGE. "Eldrick... wake up. CP is here to anime neuralize everyone and get the Juuban High Schoolers back to Rei's Temple. They say they'll implant that the kiddos decided to not go to the countryside after all and had a big party in the temple. Everyone else is already back home," Washuu finished. "Why the 'ell a'e they gonna do that? And who ga'e me sake anyway? Nanites get wo'king. Oh wait CP ith here... nanites disabled. Well they can't just wo around Neu'alithing eve'yone. Everyone was behaving in their 'Vithito' of Washuu's ' 'ole. I must p'otetht thith at onth. Gimme some Vita Thoy. I'm mad." "One sip to break the alcohol only," she handed him a bottle of Vita Soy [It's good for you!]. "Wow that ages oddly. That from the shipment you asked to study? Whoa!" "Looks like I should study it again." "You do that," Eldrick marched to where they were lining up the Juuban group. "Stop at once... or there will be trouble." "You have no authority in this Eldrick Tobin. Stand down." [Now kids... don't do this in real life. Police Men are there for your protection and you shouldn't send them to the hospital. That being said I don't think we need to get into what he did do we?] LATER "Thanks for helping me line everyone back up where they had passed out. I don't know why they felt the need to even think to do that. Everyone was in character. Everyone was behaving. Why?" Eldrick looked over at Washuu who was mixing up something to undo the vita soy- and bomb him out again. Of course she didn't tell him that part. "The CP has it's own ideas of what is and isn't right. They didn't even investigate HOW the two groups were able to meet here at the shrine. They just figured to fire up the neuralizers and let investigations handle it later. The big jerks. Here drink this," she handed it to him and he did... and hit the couch fast. "Now for the little details. Unzip this... pull this shoe off... Miss Kintaro's hand was like so. Sickeningly embarrassing but it's what happened," she felt a presence,"What do you 2 want?" Imeria said,"We need a little pocket dimension made for some newborns and their parents. We'll tell you the specs, but it must be locked down and this time travel device must be affixed in it for the little ones to find when they get to the age of 4." "Why not send them all back now?" "Can't change the past can't tamper with the future," the clone of Imeria said. "Alright fine. Women and clones this way. Ignore those boxes those aren't for you." IN THE MORNING "Oh... sake hangover... Oh how I envy the Japanese... and the Chinese and ... can't think... oh... what did I drink last n... can't let anyone see this... Ami... move your hand... Miss Kintaro... hand move please... I should pretend I'm still asleep." Tenchi's voice said behind him,"Um it would be really belated. It's 4pm. Everyone else has gone. Everyone had a little laugh... and then a big one when Ami wondered if Usagi and Mamoru did those kind of things too. Oh by the way, thanks for bringing the food over last night we were cleaned out. Margo and my father went shopping for groceries they should be back any minute." "You're welcome and thank you." "For what?" "Putting up with my gaggle of perverts." "It was nothing you should try going to my school once or twice. Their worse. Maybe not walking around naked worse... or Dancing on a table saying They are the She-male spank her and her strapped on self... but they're bad in their own way." My Ami stirred and raised up,"Oops did I do that?" she pulled her hand away with a giggle and Eldrick zipped back up. Tenchi acted like her didn't see anything until he saw the front of Ami's dress. "Did I do that?" Eldrick asked as Tenchi sniffled up a nosebleed due to the fact the top of her sun dress had been torn one to her navel and she was... not confined. "TENCHI!" Ryoko called out and then appeared grabbing him she looked to where he was staring,"Tenchi if you wanna see some... We can arrange a little something in the bath..." "I wasn't looking really." "Sure you weren't," she tried to kiss him and he broke away commenting on needing to cool off. "Oh well. Let's see what I can do about your dress. A little hoop of metal and 2 little holes... and now... it looks like it was designed that way. You're going to have to put yourself back in the dress," She said after letting go of the pieces she'd joined with a created metal ring. Ami smiled and pulled the dress out and over her breasts. "Yeah if I hem the tear it'll look store bought... and this silver ring is lovely." "Hey no problem. Well I'm going to get ready for my bath with Tenchi. You two have fun." "I'm home!" Nobuyuki announced as he came in through Washuu's door. Sasami appeared," Is the coast clear of perverts? Oops." Eldrick smiled,"No harm done. Ami, Margo and myself are one our way out." Nobuyuki looked shocked,"You aren't single Margo? This like some Juraian marriage thing?" "Yep 'fraid so. But you were fun and I hope I gave you some help by working out the bugs in your pick up lines," She winked and cast off her outfit which was a sari. "I feel so much better naked. Bye All." Sasami waved with a sweatdrop fastened to her cheek. Nobuyuki stood there all white and heart broken looking... until he grabbed his coat and headed for the garage with a big grin. She said,"Everything's as it should be at the Masaki Home," as Eldrick Ami and Margo stepped through the door to Washuu's and the Elevator back. EPILOGUE "Here's your's Hope. It was hard to make but it should work. It should reclothe you after you transform. Good for 8 million transformations or you bring it back and I clock it with a hammer and build a new one," Washuu cackled. "Thank you," was all Hope could say. "Next up. Ardice. Water absorbing sheets so you never end up accidentally in the wet spot that Gerard and Konei leave on the bed." "I'll go put these on the bed now... Konei looks eager," Ardice raced up the stairs. "Joy this is sick... but I made it. I will not ask what or who it's for and will assume you want it for yourself," she handed the package over. "Yes you made my blueprints for a drill mounted sexual thrusting piston of love! Hey and you made the tripod and the strap on attachment. Thanks Washuu!!" she blew a kiss at her that raced out and Washuu tossed a baseball at it and it left a mark on the signature of some famous baseball legend. Joy frowned and put everything back in the box -or should we say crate? "Konei. This was hell on wheels to make. One Hormone regulator. I guess Gerard will gain a little weight back now." "I'm really hard on him and this way I won't be so embarrassing," she smiled really cutely... and pried her hand out of his pants. "Sorry Gerard." "Next up... Gerard," Washuu smiled," Another tough one. But hey the fun is in the challenge. Use sparingly. They affect you AND the air space of those around you. I present to you Washuu Brand Spread on Hormones and Pheromones," the crab on the package had little heart eyes for another little crab which had heart eyes for the other. "Thank you Professor. It means alot." "You'll probably enjoy sex with that also. But hey maybe you won't. Next up Astrala. One big monstrous dress up kit with costumes of all kinds. And even a nice mock wedding dress." "Oh thank you, Little Washuu!" "You called me little gee thanks. Charhon. I picked it up from Cool Devices for you. You know what it is." Haris joked,"Everyone has a clue." Charhon subsided visibly from obviously wanting to argue,"It took me weeks to get the courage to order it... how was I ever going to go in and accept it. a girl like me never goes into a place like that." "Yeah whatever," Haris said as she went mentally over some of the customers who'd been in that week alone. "Now you Haris. One dot of this under Eldrick's nose and no matter what kind of signals all of you girls are giving off... unless he's interested himself nothing's going to happen." "Thank you Washuu. It's hard watching him think he needs to hold back especially when we're all dying for him. And when he breaks down and has whoever is asking for him he doesn't seem to enjoy it so much. And I know he's torturing himself afterwards." "You SURE you're based off my Ryoko?" Washuu teased and Haris stuck out her tongue. Washuu chuckled and then looked at Margo," Wierd request. But here it is. One Room converter. Makes any space smaller than the Astrodome into any other space you like for as long as you like. Want a frilly looking girls room out of a man's bachelor pad to watch him squirm? No problem." Everyone looked at Washuu funny. "Sorry had made one for a product line that died because my prototype backfired and turned everything into the opposite of what people wanted. Turns out Mihoshi had put the dial on upside down but they wouldn't let me try again after I turned the room into a scorpion pit. Well anyway. May you all enjoy your bribes for the questions I asked you earlier," Washuu got up and handed Margo the tiny device that was the room changer in it's travel packed size. Everyone thanked Washuu and then she stepped into the elevator and went away. Joy and Charhon were absent as were Konei and Gerard but everyone could hear where they were. Ardice who was running the security booth told everyone where everyone else was. "Ami could I have some time with Eldrick?" Joy asked closing the door behind her as Eldrick slept on the bed. "He's still hung over the vita soy dissolution was too weak that I'd made," she said,"What's in the crate?" "Something I'd wanted him to use on me or with me or... well it doesn't matter it can wait." "Do you want a formal place on the roster?" "He'd object." "You like him that way." "No not really. I'd better go I can feel people getting all depressed. No way the M.I.R.R.O.R can handle this kind of load. They must have just started selling school supplies in grocery stores, and I have my work cut out for me." "I'll wake Eldrick." "No don't... I should go. Really." "Alright. I'll warm him up to what's in the box if you'll let me see inside," she blinked,"I'll see... what... I can do... I can't stand seeing either of you girls upset. Speed of the winds to you in your duties." "Thank you... Ami." "No problem. Off with you," Ami smiled as she picked up a bottle of something clear and slippery. Joy closed the door, and then leaned on it,"She's so kind... so kind... Well off I go I have kids to give candy and barely legal men and girls to seduce and fondle their problems away. Oh this is a great week to be who I am."

The black car purring it's authority at the station wagon next to it. It screamed for it's mommy with it's alarm that a heathen vehicle was near it. He got out of his car and stared at the other vehicle. "Damn car alarms. Who'd steal that?" He prepped his alarm and smiled. If someone touched the car for longer than 30 seconds a light static shock would rock them. If they tried again -the car could monitor itself to know if it WAS the same person- they'd get to know what lightning rods have to go through. When he was out of sight the car locked itself. He approached the door of the restaurant. Made to look like a border town brothel bar the eatery didn't really attract family people. The floor show discouraged the foolish. A Cheech-a-like asked him if he wanted the menu read to him. Having seen "From Dusk till Dawn" he declined. "Cheech" opened the door and showed him inside before going to another patron waiting to enter. That patron wanted to hear. "Sick fuck," was all the guy said as he found a seat and debated with himself internally what he actually wanted to order. "What'll you have that's on the menu doll?" asked some curvy hostess of latin descent. "2 slices of pizza, 4 tacos -2 crunchy 2 soft-, a burger and a menage de fried," he gave her a tip. She came back a few minutes later with the food and the house's free "milk shake" which was a vanilla flavored concoction made entirely of human breast milk, sugar and vanilla extract. He always found it tasted odd. He tipped the girl again and she asked,"Anything you want that's off the menu?" "Love." "Why do you always ask for that? You can't find that in a place like this. And if you did you don't look bizarre enough for most of the girls here. But thanks for asking every night you come here anyway. Makes a girl think there's hope ya know." He just smiled and went to his food when she walked away. He liked the varied menu... and it all tasted like he'd spent real time going to his favorite places for all the junk his body barely needed. He studied the collection of french fries, onion rings, and fried chicken as he downed the "milk shake". He imagined he was eating them off a nice girl and then reached his hand out and grabbed an onion ring. He miscalculated his reach for a chicken strip and when he would have hit the imaginary girls chin... he heard a "Hey... watch it!" He opened his eyes. There was a girl there sitting in the chair opposite him. She was about his age, had hazel eyes and hair in half the colors of the rainbow one minute the other half the next. "Nice powered wig." "It needs to be taken into the shop. It's a hand me down from one of the other girls here," she paused,"Do you want me to do a dance on the table... or something under the table... or talk?" "Talk? Is there something on your mind?" "I said that out loud?" "Yep. So what you want to discuss?" "Um, I haven't gotten a straight answer yet... but I just started working here today... and I'm wondering... what all goes on here? My contract got bought out by this place." "Where'd you work before?" "Um... its embarrassing but Snack and Shack." "Ah yes "Food and Communication" Started out as a sex pad... until this place opened and snagged half the girls... then the new girls who worked there... did something and the theme behind the place changed." "Yeah they bought the place out from the manager. So instead of whatever happened before now guys come in and a girl dresses up like some anime character he likes and then they do little more than fondle and fall asleep after talking for a few hours." "What you think of working there?" "Oh I never really did anything but study up some anime questions and outfit styles... and then when the chef quit I shipped here in exchange for one of this places. All legal... but I don't know what this place is like." "Well when the girls here say something under the table they don't mean a foot massage, like it looks like you meant. And when they dance on the table it's erotic and usually ends in a lap dance and then goes further. You're blushing. FYI Snack and Shack used to be about sex with girls in anime outfits." "I should have never answered the ad..." "How would you know what they used to do? You just needed a job right?" "Right. I worked at a Pizza joint but couldn't live on just tips. I was told we had to sleep in the same room with guys but we all got panic buttons in case the guys tried to even so much as kiss. They really used to be like that?" "Yes. But that shouldn't concern you. What should concern you is THIS place's policies. Girls are assigned a table, and they are expected to perform for anyone who sits at that table." "Is that why you come here?" "No. I come here because it's on the way back from class. I live a few blocks away. I also come here because of the food, it's like hitting all my favorite food places at once. I don't care much for the milk shakes though." "Which school? And what's wrong with the milk shakes?" "Trust me when I say you haven't heard of it. As for the shakes... their breast milk." "Oh no..." "Had one?" "I was told it's goat's milk!" He pointed. "Sheila "The Goat" Browski. It's from her. At least the batch you had." "Ewww she's so butch... ... what's she doing with that guy?" "Him? He likes it from girls with strap-ons." "You're kidding..." "Nope. Just think... it's only 6pm. The place gets worse by midnight and 'horrid' by closing at 4am when all that happens is the doors close to keep people out though most who stay that long stay till 8am." "Oh my..." she looked at him like he was a snake,"How do you know all that?" "I had a talk with the manager last night when one of the girls tried to get in my pants without my say so. He explained everything that happens after I leave." "When do you leave?" "At 7pm usually. 8pm if it's Friday." "Today is Friday... what happens after 7 but before 8?" "The first first floor show. Some curvy girl pole dances while everyone encourages her... she eventually strips... the manager says she goes down on the guy who tips her the most. It's why I tip before then so there's no mistake." "Don't like girls?" she deflated. "Not that. Like the hostess over there said... most girls here are too wierd for a guy like me. Onion Ring?" "Huh?" "Will you let me feed you so the manager doesn't come over here and try to force you on me. This is a limited rights establishment. Hence why I make sure I'm out of here by 8 at the latest. After 8 signals consent for the girls to do whatever they want to anyone within. The manager can also order any girl around before then. He could order you to ... anything." "I would never..." "If you're contract is in your purse like it should be... read it... read it carefully... and while you do let me feed you french fries." She blushed," Um... okay... I'll read it." "And the fries?" "Okay... but don't do anything funny." "I won't." She pulled out the contract, and giggled when he almost got the fry in her nose. "Recipient take note that this contract is governed within a low rights zone wherein the management while unable to order you to do anything for him may order under penalty of arrest or fine..." She mumbled a bit around a fry,"Oh no you're right! I have to get out of this contract!" "Running away is forbidden... but you can have it paid away... or work it off." "It's 2000 dollars... I'm doomed. I'll be forced to... to... and even if I got a permanent assignment to this table and you came in everyday... you leave at 8... 7 most days. You even have school so you can't just stay here and protect me all night. What'll I do." "Let's go buy out your contract," he offered his hand to help her stand. "But I don't have the money." "I've got it. I'll even toss in a few more large bills incase he was expecting a larger investment from you because of your beauty." She blushed. He figured she'd hush up now so the manager didn't get wind and call his attorney. HE did mean it... but she couldn't know that or she'd think his offer was something seedier. It wasn't... but she must have guesses why she's paid so much, and why her contract is so high. Less rights for more pay is how it works out. Some pizza chains lived only off their girls walking around buck naked while serving. Those girls may make big bucks but the price is how they are treated. How ever did the damn law go through? "Did you say something?" she asked. "Not really. Sorry. Thinking." "Oh." "Hey Manager! I'm here to buy out her contract," he said to her,"Lie like the wind is the devil making your words for you." He squeezed her hand and she squeezed back. "Why? She strike your fancy that much?" "Yeah she does. Finally got a girl in here worth something. She says it's 2K. I got the money right here." "Bah! That document is old." "So how much you lecherous dog?" He called him that due to his cut up t-shirt featuring dogs humping some girl's leg. "3.5K... plus 500 to find a replacement." She bristled,"Only 4 grand? What do you think I am a pack of gum! Only 4 grand indeed." "Hey shut up. I'm talking to your future owner here." She sighed and looked skyward,"Men. Filthy pigs... why can't some beautiful sensitive woman sweep me off my feet?" "Hush witch or it's the lash," he said while pausing in his talk with the manager. "Oh spank me sub-creature. Please. Don't listen to dickless here sir." "I'll listen to who I want to. 3K cause I want her off my hands now. Too many years ahead of her to have her develop 'The Attitude' now." "Naw... here's 4K. She's worth it. Trust me." "You wish... but thanks for the money anyway. Hey bitch you're walking papers," he held them out after signing them. She bristled and reached for them, but he pulled them away and handed them to the guy,"Ha! Hey guy... use her in good health." "My intention." He walked her outside, and around the corner. He handed her the papers, and some money,"God's speed to you." "What?" "You're free again. Read contracts more closely next time. The Hostess stole my keys. I know it. While my car knows who I am without the keys I can't drive it. I have to go back in." "But it's 8:15 now. I'll go with you." "No good. Some woman would get you liquored up -and me too. And you'd be signed with them again or worse. They can't kill you but they can make you wish you were dead. I'll go. No good deed goes unpunished anyway. Be well." He turned and was in range of the door soon after. She dared not follow... and couldn't bring herself too. She ran the other way and into the back parking lot. She found her car a stripped ruin with not even enough parts to make a go-cart. She saw the watchman come around the corner. If he saw her she might be forced back inside at gunpoint... she needed to hide. Thunder crackled loudly in the sky and set off some car alarms... a door on a car popped open. She rushed for it's dubious safety. "Why hello again moneybags!" "Where's Karen Miss." "Why Karen is with a customer right now stud. Why not spend some time with me?" "I need to talk to Karen." "Talk isn't what this place is about sugar. Kelly 'll keep you nice and warm," she winked at him and tossed a cord about his neck like the kind used on graduation hats but much longer. "Can I talk with the manager?" "He's upstairs watching the security booth while the watchman checks the parking lot. Now y'all come this way peaceably..." there was a don't-fuck-with-me-boytoy look on her face. "Oh no problem," he lied. /I'm doomed./ "So Kelly... what you like in a guy you're fucking?" "Oh so bold. I like you sugar. Dinner's this way and breakfast is served at 7am sharp." "I hope you are the menu." "Good guess, my little bookworm," she said as she slipped her hands into his shirt as she sat him down at the table he'd been sitting at. She ran her hands over his school shirt underneath his hooded sweatshirt and chuckled at the logo. "Nice little dildo you have on the shirt... what school is that... oh who cares... let's see that test tube of yours... hope it's not as small as the one on your shirt." The sun as he stumbled out the door hurt his eyes. He'd been put into a blindfold less than a minute after Kelly had slid her hand into his pants. His world had become one of touch and taste only after that. Besides the guy who liked it from behind from women he had been the only other man in the place. His body was sore all over from the painful reality of that statement. Unfortunately he'd not had any sleep... or even an aspirin for any of the pain he'd had to endure. The spacecraft which was sent on a Uranian expedition was not pleasantly received by the natives who are still quite miffed. [If you catch the author's meaning] They'd left an atmospheric probe behind too that the natives were very restless over. "So little man what's 15 hours of hot sex feel like? Bet we see you again tomorrow." "I don't call rape sex." "Hey man not so loud... we aren't ready for new customers yet," "Cheech" laughed his ass off. "Don't feel so bad... you went back in for the keys that 'I' in actuality had. You could have asked me man," he tossed the keys. "You must have wanted that cause I KNOW you've seen the key rack behind me. And here I thought your screams were genuine." "I didn't want any of that." "Bullshit. The manager told you the girls swipe keys... and that they end up on the rack. You just weren't listening to that which could set you free. I knew it took all kinds but we don't get many rape fetishists. You must be walking on clouds then..." He walked off towards his car with his keys. "Hey maybe tomorrow I'll see they give you a butt pillow HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!" "Asshole." "What was that? Do I want your ass? No... everyone else has already had it," Cheech broke into laughter again. The man considered burning his copy of '..Dusk..' in hopes some voodoo would kick in and toast that annoying twit. "He really gives Cheech Marin a bad name... damn. If I were Cheech I'd sue that little turd," he said turning off his alarm and making note of the piles of ash near the vehicle. "'And another one bites the dust.'" The car took it as a song cue. He chuckled and sat down without thinking. His eyes bulged but he didn't think he'd ripped anything... he'd head home and pull the fragger out. It started vibrating again and he hit the window polarize button and was going to climb into the backseat to pull it out when he saw he had a guest. There behind him lay the girl he'd rescued contract under her head like a pillow, dress used as a sheet. Or was... she'd pushed it to where it only covered her butt, and she was otherwise naked. A new pain found itself in his pants... this time the front... as he watched her breathe. He sat back down... letting out to his shock a low moan as it eased itself around in his backside. He turned off the parking brake and sped out of the lot to his dismay as he hit a speed bump UNsmoothly... and he enjoyed it. So much so that his underwear got hosed. He panted... he couldn't believe he'd just... from that. "Will I ever be the same?" "Huh? Who's there? EEK!" came from the backseat. "Don't worry. I didn't look." "Liar." "Alright I looked. If you want me to be even more honest I can." She blushed,"Um... ah... please do." "If I WAS in the business of buying girls for sex slaves I'd consider myself having spent my money well. You're breasts are very perky and nice." She uncovered herself and looked at them," All the girls made fun of me... said I was too small." "Most of them are 52+ And next to them you are a bit small. But to a guy who likes the late 30's they are too big right? I'm that kind of guy." She smiled still blushing,"Well since you've seen them I won't cover up. Plus that dress makes me itch." "Bold one aren't we." She went shock red,"Um well I um ah" "That was rude of me. I personally wouldn't be alright with myself naked as you are. I guess that makes it a compliment." "Well I guess I'll be less hedonistic and put the itchy dress back on... oh no... I shredded it in my "Kill the manager" nightmare. I'm doomed. No clothes." "Where's you're apartment I'll drop you off?" "Um girls at that place are live in," She said as she leaned forward and TRIED to look out the windows,"We passing any clothing stores? I can't see a thing. Where we headed anyway?" "Not passing clothing stores. The glass is no-way when polarized like this. As for the last my place." "Why polarize the glass?" "I was going to pull out a souvenir." "Huh?" "One of the ladies of the establishment left a vibrator in my backside." "Why didn't you pull it out yet?" "You were in the backseat." "Oh yeah... the car door was open and the guard was on his way and it looked like it was gonna rain and ... I got in the car. I feel asleep soon after... it's really comfortable back here." "Can you drive?" "Um no." "Damn I'll have to wait till I get to the house then." "Lean forward I'll yank it out." Dubiously he did so. Her breasts on his back were warm and her hand sliding down his back sent a chill up his spine. She tugged and tugged on it... but it was a bit long to just pop out but his lips were clamped too closed to tell her. For every tug out it slid back in. She finally got it out and he moaned again and sobbed as he came again. "You're hurt I'll bet... pull the car over we need to see if you are bleeding." He checked the scanner... nothing but trees. He pulled the car over. "When we get out take off your clothes." "What?" "If I'm nude you can be nude. Besides I need to see your ass and check your clothes for blood." He looked at her like she'd grown fangs and horns. She got upset,"Fine bleed to death I don't care. I'll just sit back her exposed while for all I know you are playing with yourself. Anything you say Master." "I'm sorry... just when you said that you were holding the souvenir like you intended to use it." He got out of the vehicle and stripped covering his privates with his hands. She thanked him for his modesty as she picked through his things. She found something that didn't belong. "So frilly and lacy... wear these often?" He'd put on -or been put into- panties. She was giggling over it. "They're not mine." "Can I take them?" She asked before she checked their contents. When she did her eyes went wide,"Is this what I think it is? You really liked your gift." "Physical Conditioning. Nearly every girl had one end or... the other of me. All more than once." "Ouch. Well I can't in conscience wear these now Though it would be nice to wear something now that I have this dress under good light... no wonder the chair was cold. I mean look at this thing," she showed it too him and he had to fight his groin,"Opps sorry. Forgot. Well there's no blood or even feces anywhere." "They flushed me out and pumped my stomach. I feel like I haven't eaten in days." "How cruel." He nodded. She looked over at him,"Spread'em on the car... I need to look if the blood just hasn't come out yet... or is caked on your butt." "This is SOOO embarrassing." "No embarrassing would be having some old guy stick his finger up your butt as you walk by... oh sorry... one of the girls "locker room" stories." "It's okay," he spread himself... then spread his cheeks so she could get her examination underway. "Wow... they worked you good... I could probably put my hand in there. So guess open up kinda like girls do... only not as much." "Funny." "No it's funny I'm staring into a guy's ass. The only thing I can't see is your chest... oh my." "Stop staring at my groin." "Sorry... only ever seen one in health class, and that was in a text book cross section kinda thing." "It's... okay... just no pointing and laughing," something on the dash sounded,"Crap!" "Nice Pun." "I'm serious... slaver for the dark approaching... plant that in my butt and get your contract visible." "Is it okay?" "I've been pumped enough I could probably take a baseball bat." "I meant will we be okay just by me showing that you... own me?" "They have a contract not to take fellow slavers or their cargo." "Are you a slaver?" she asked placing it a little harder than he wanted her to causing him to yelp. "No... but I can't rip your contract apart yet because of people like them. The ones on the way take slaves for Hell itself." "Oh peachy." "Um... I'm embarrassed to ask this... but look busy..." "Huh? How so." "Work the parcel." "I've never done anything like that before." "We have to look believable." "Um... okay... I'm supposed to think of it like it's a banana... and can I spit?" "Um... I mean the torpedo." She blushed redder,"I forgot about that... just pull it in and out?" He couldn't speak... it felt too good... and he couldn't tell her to stop like he wanted too. He couldn't because of the now visible semi with it's moaning and jostled cargo. The big rig made of bone and churning magma stopped. The demonic driver stepped out... his meter long member being the first past the driver's door. "What goes on here?" he asked in a voice like a young girls moans. "My Master liked the woods... he felt he needed some in him." "You are his sex slave then?" "What other kind of slave is there?" "You have some kind of binding contract?" "You want to see it?" She pulled it from out of the backseat... slinking around like a cat in heat. The Demon took it and studied it,"Fresh bought are you?" "Fresh all over." The Demon smiled,"All is in order." "Any of the girls in the back available? Master is looking for someone for me to have for when he wants a show." "I got a nice set in a human town called Tokyo. They are already close. All the better for 3 girls are better than 2," it said as it felt her up. "Master can I get the money for the 2?" "Yes if you get over here and flip the switch." "Oh Master I'm so sorry." "I'll consider punishing you later. Perhaps the endless rubbing." "Master is too cruel," she said petulantly. "Flip the switch get the money. And tell the new girls to put on a show in the backseat so I can watch while you play with me." "Of course Master," she routed in his pants pocket and found close to 10000, "Wow," she said to him. "Money never leave home without it," he panted as the vibrations ripped through him. He was going to make a mess again... and he was starting to look forward to it. What had he become? And why didn't he care? /Girls seem to like it... why not enjoy it... Not like there's a guy back there... And it feels SOOOO good too.../ She sauntered over with the bills,"Show them before Master buys," she said and held the money out of reach and made sure to push her breasts together and jiggle. "Girls? Oh yes." It lead her to the back door of the pen on wheels. "Send out the 2 from Tokyo... and the girl from Knevahis. I got my own urges now." The 2 girls from tokyo were pushed out and towards Master's little slave girl-chan who felt them up... and smiled when they blushed and told her to stop. She dipped her fingers into them and made the other taste it. "There's so resistant... Master will love them to pieces. How much?" "2 Thousand ... each... ought to be fine. It's what he paid for you yes?" The third girl was brought forward and she INSTANTLY knelt in front of him... and SWALLOWED ALL THREE FEET. "She's talented." "All from her world are... they can compress or enlarge flesh as they dictate. The money for their contracts miss." "Oh sorry," she said counting it out and handing it over. The bills hit his hand and she was holding the contracts for each girl suddenly in her other hand with her own which felt a bit different also. "The contracts are magical... they bind the girls to the Master's will... The over obedience can be turned on and off of course. The change from the girls went into your contract also. Aren't I nice." It was a statement. "Perfect Master will love it," she jiggled. "Master" came in the distance. "Master calls. Pleasure," she paused,"doing business with you." "All mine of course. Let's get this mobile orgy back underway," he said then teleported him and his Knevahisane into the cab where she began moaning like an ambulance. "Well that's over with. Greetings Girls my name is... Where are you two going?" The new girls... who he was shocked to recognized walked over with glassy expressions and knelt before their still bent over the roof -hence why he wasn't down yet- new Master. "Driver called me Sandy, Master. Do you wish to call me Sandy, Master? Whatever name you want to call me is fine Master. I worship my Master." "Driver called me Misty, Master. Do you wish to call me Misty, Master? Whatever name you want to call me is fine Master. I worship my Master." They then said in syncronization,"We remember Master wanted a show." "What's with them?" he said when he could tear his eyes away from his view through the polarized glass roof. "The Contracts, Master." "Now you're doing it!" "ACK!" "Back to normal the lot of you." The two girls stopped their 69'ing. "Oh Kasumi! What are we doing?" "I don't know Sunahama... But I think we were... um..." "Let's kill this awkward beginning. Hi. I'm Jo Insei. You two are?" "Naked as Jaybirds!" "Sunahama... for what all we were just doing we'd have to be. I'm Kasumi Kai, and she's Sunahama Kai. We aren't related though. At least our families don't know the other." "Pleased to meet you. You bought us from the Demon Driver right? Thank you. Hope you don't own our souls or anything." Jo said,"From how your contract reads... he does. He can even order you back from the grave... Wow my contract says that too! I guess that's neat." "The driver made them all the same ... probably with some stipulations he thought NEEDED to be there. Just Peachy." "Um... I'm afraid to ask... but we owe you our lives... I kinda guess it's fair... how the heck can we pay you back for this?" "Well the wrong answer would be to say 'Well why don't you continue what you started' but I won't say that. Don't worry once we get far enough into safe territory... Oh dear... back to normal you two." In sync they in shock said,"We were going at it again!" "And well Jo said absently working the vibe in his butt." "Jo... um..." "Oops. Shall I pull it out?" "I don't know if I can take leaving it in or pulling it out." "Did you order them to do that again?" "I can't help it. I got her all over my face already," Kasumi said while going after Sunahama like a bat out of hell. "It's only logical that since there's only one you... Mr... whoever and we are two unfortunately over stimulated girls we might as well... not sure what this will do to our friendship though." "Less talk more finger." Master sullied the car again because Jo had started her hand moving. She turned it off and pulled it out. More oozed from him. He climbed off the car when it stopped dripping from him. "I'll never be the same again," he walked over to Jo and kissed her,"Thank you for getting us all out of their. I'd have been too shaky to have been believable." "You owe me for being felt up by that THING." "Name your price." "Can I borrow this?" she held up the vibe. "I'm dying over here." The dynamic duo -and how!- came simultaneously one without making a sound the other loud enough to wake the dead. "Clear a space... I might as well make another wet spot..." she flicked it on and went to work. The other two busied themselves with helping her along. All three were soon touching each other with the vibe on the floorboards. He sat there and watched them making an effort to not touch himself though the hour they were at this was starting to make his balls hurt. The 2 girls came hard and weakly fell back into the seat... Jo got out and climbed into the driver's seat. "Jo... could you?" "It's what I'm up here for. Relax... Ah... Ah... Mmmm... oh oh oh ... ah..." she called as up and down, up and down she went bathing his face with her tongue. She pulled his face to her and kissed him right as she came... and due to the muscle constriction he did also. "Alright everyone is sticky... can we get out of these woods? It's eerie that there doesn't seem to be any wildlife," Kasumi noted with a shiver. "And how easy will it be to destroy those?" She pointed to the dashboard. "I have some friends who can help. Hang on the road will get bumpier." "Grindier too?" Jo teasingly asked. "Haha haha haha," said their driver who was busy wondering what it was with him and females. The road did get indeed bumpier but everyone made it through okay if horny all over again. He had to polarize the windows when they got into Tokyo -he didn't explain how they'd got there... just that they would be there. He pulled out his phone and called up to the apartment they shared with a third girl. "Momo's gonna have a fit." "There goes our 8th roommate." "She should be lucky. We pay most of the bill," Sunahama petulantly noted. "Well if she ditches I'm in need of a place..." Jo thought to herself aloud. "Sunahama... let's toss Momo out on her butt." "Isn't she your friend?" Kasumi smirked,"No... she's a classmate and a real head case. She pays the last 10000 of the rent though... but she makes a enough to pay for her own place and live in style." "Why tolerate her?" "The money... and she helps us in class." "Which class?" Sunahama sighed,"Economics, and Psychology respectively." Jo laughed,"Piece of cake..." Momo entered the street from the building... on the phone with some guy she was chattering away at. The back window rolled itself down. "This is it guys... I'm not sewing anymore Costumes for you to get gawked at in nor am I helping you in class. AND to be cruel I'm moving out. What do you think of that?!" Momo being very UNpeachy demanded as she put the phone on hold. Jo leaned back,"Hi I'm their new roommate. Packed yet?" "Soon bimbo." "Well it will be a pleasure when you're gone stench trench. Driver? The parking structure please." He did as asked while Momo cursed and swore into her cell phone and then was out of site. Sunahama fumed,"Glad we're ditching her... she brings us lingerie to wear! Of all the nerve." "Maybe she thought we were going into a life of Sex Slavery," she laughed... then stopped and looked at Master Driver person. "Don't be silly. You have each other. I don't need sex slaves. I don't even need slaves. Good luck in class." "Don't we get a goodbye lay?" Kasumi inquired. "You tease!" A blushing but just as hungry looking Sunahama chided. "Will we see you again?" Miss Insei asked. "Oh I'll be around." "You know we forgot your clothes..." "Doesn't matter. I'm clothed in the fact that I saved 3 lives today. You can call me if one of you are injured or need anything," He handed them a card. Jo looked at it puzzled,"What language is that?" Sunahama frowned,"English... I don't think it's romanji." "True now how do you pronounce it?" Jo looked at them puzzled,"What's English... what's romanji?" He drove away chuckling to himself. He'd forgotten they were from different places. Wholly different places. At least they shared a common language. Of course that was like saying American English and Queen's English are common languages. He pulled the car into the garage. He parked it... he checked the car for anything odd growing on it or anything. He looked in the backseat... Jo had taken his souvenir. Oh well. He heard a teleport in noise. He knew which one had just done that too. "Welcome back how was your trip?" "Eventful." "I have some KY and something I want to show you... but you won't like it... of course you can use it on me... we can relax together." "What is it?" "A self driving dildo," he almost dropped the contracts as he thought about it. She bit her lip in worry. She looked at his naked body but forgot important questions when she eyed his manhood,"Wow... rock hard... you really wanna work it too me huh?" She cooed. "Actually I was gonna let you work me for a few hours." "You mean?" "My ass is your ass." "What happened? Before you didn't like that kind of thing... have you found a man?" "Hell no... ick... I got gang banged by 50 or so women with strap-ons... I liked almost every minute of it. Now I want another to show me her new toy... as I tell her what happened today." "As Master wills." "Not you too!" "Me what?" "Nevermind," he said almost pushing her up the spiral stairs. "Eager? Damn I need to abuse or thank the girls who did this." "Yes fine whatever..." The universe soon found his face buried in her as the tripod mounted self driver worked it's prurient magic. =0==0==0==0==0= Hi AHSM... no one is commenting at all in ADSMI... so I'm crossposting... I already have ideas for the next leg of the series -can you say another rename? But this hill called ICH9... is a steep one. I don't know if I'll be able to get this thing to part 3... so... I'm reaching out for comments and criticisms... sure it's pure ego stroking... I understand that... but I'm not feeling so haughty as to pull off the "ending" I have planned... I need to buffer the ole ego -yes Ego too- for what is going to be a major blow to write. One I can't just gloss over.

"Wow Joy... I never knew you could read so well... I felt like it was happening all around me," Astrala giggled. "Thanks. Anyone else impressed? Keep the compliments coming." Charhon harumphed," Well I was... but not now." "Later in bed then," Joy smiled triumphantly. "I never said that..." "Speaking of bed," Margo interrupted,"It's bed time Charhon, and I need my pillow." "Of course. I'm nice and warm for you," Charhon said following after Margo. Joy looked over at Ardice... asleep on a lounge chair by the pool... she never made it passed the halfway mark... too much yelling at Konei over something. Probably that Role Playing Game they were playing with Workbot. "It's so good with children." "What is Joy?" Ami Kintaro and Eldrick descended from the rooftop where Eldrick was pointing out constellations to Ami. They looked so misplaced together. But they worked so well. "Huh? Oh I was thinking about the alternate story for tonight. _20th_Angel:Eva_meets_Inju_ The girls didn't want to hear it. They opted for something only lemony." "Only lemony? You sound like lemons for you are like reading from a dictionary," Eldrick noted shocked. "Of course... not steamy enough... I want every detail... I want so much detail that you know where every drop of sweat is... every hair," she got starry eyed,"Can I PLEEEEASE use the who-dink-us on 69th Angel? Please please please??? I need Inju and Eva Pilots!" "Wait till Hope is back. You promised to watch things here while she reported back in for duty." "I know I know. Told her nothing was happening. But she had to go find out for herself." There was a smell like 1 million roses being tossed past your nose all at once. "I did sis. And it's regulation to do so." "Please no regulation code calling I beg you... so can I use the machine now Eldrick?" "Let her Eldrick. Nothing's happening. Lossoth is building power now that he can leave again... but isn't stepping foot out yet... and my doppleganger only left me some really tough cases to work out." Hope paused,"It's... difficult talking to someone who looks almost exactly like you... save with lime green hair." Ami quirked an eyebrow,"Lime green?" She looked at Eldrick. "Probably a planned flaw in their replication matrices." Joy tapped her foot,"Machine yay or nay. If Nay then I'll need to let the floor borrow your clothes for a while Eldrick. Welcome to join in Ami. Or I can watch my darling sister stand in for me. But sex must happen in front of me or I'll... cry." "Use the machine Joy," Eldrick said eyebrow twitching. "Thank you thank you!" Joy kissed Ami... who blinked. She then kissed Eldrick... who also blinked. She went back to Ami and said after kissing her again," Don't mind me... just giving back what I borrowed to let Eldrick have some of. Now don't you three do anything I wouldn't do," she said from behind her sister feeling her up underneath the combat fuku that was worn. She left happily when she saw she'd left them all hot and bothered. "My work here is done," she said to herself and went to the arcade level... where Tentacles and Kaoru would say hi. "My sister seems to get wierder everyday," Hope said to no one in particular. "I think she's relaxing," Ami said. They looked at her. "I mean it... I think what we are seeing as wierd is how she really is but we don't know that from the Angel of Bondage Nurse Joy persona she throws up all the time. This must be the real her." "Really huh?" Eldrick scratched his head. Hope smiled lightly,"Ami's right. Joy hasn't been like this since... since before we were Incarnations... before the coming of the war that had dad come to that awful conclusion that the only way to fight was to enlarge our race to be better able to fight... itself. Those were dark times. We both worked on a Hospital ship... before they got rid of such war hindering conventions... "Anyway we both worked on the ship as... nurses. The blue-haired Angels of Mercy we were called. We were still identical then." Eldrick burst in,"You're identical twins?" "It seems shocking to look at us... but yes at one time there was NO distinction at all. Not so much as a blemish. It was genetic. The zygote split into an out of phase state. Neither resulting embryo was in this reality, but were instead out of phase with reality itself. Mother didn't even give birth to us... we sort of happened. We still had cords to cut though... but mom never got a stretch mark." "The hospital ship?" Ami asked slowly. "Oh yes... sorry. We worked on the ship. One day one of the new soldiers came in wounded. Mortally. We didn't have anything to replace his new blood with that wouldn't make his last hours agony. His wish was to get a kiss from each of us. We were still chronologically 17 then, and so it was exhilarating and yet frightening. We were his last wish. We got up on the platform he was for all intents mounted on, and leaned over and kissed him. When I pulled back I realized Joy hadn't yet, and I watched in curiosity. She kissed him... she played games with his twice as big as it should have been tongue. She mounted his face as I watched in horror as his pulse fluttered. He licked her till she screamed that she couldn't stand it and climbing down him... she... she... "Fucked him till he died... and slowly slowly licked every drop up, and asked if you wanted a taste. You then fled screaming that I was a cold blooded murderer... while the doctor thanked me for putting the man out of his misery in the kindest gentlest way possible. You didn't stay to hear that they were going to have given him the transfusion anyway... which would have made his life hell... and given him a lethal injection if they couldn't save him before his spare hour burned out," Joy fell silent. "I'd thought you'd left." "No I've always been your sister. No matter how different we look we are blood. I'm sorry that my way of helping the doomed was to cheer them up sexually while you told them to cheer up and tell them about their lives and loves. It's one of the reasons why I never told you why I approached Dharm about my current position. I never wanted you to ever be able to change your mind and continue traveling the dark road you had before. If I could have been in 2 places at once I would have solaced the ones needing solace and talked to the ones needing to talk. I figured one day you'd give up on Hoping for the universe and I didn't want you to slip down the path I reveled in. I love you as you are sis." "And I you... mixed up as you are... but I was actually meaning I thought you'd left to be naughty," Hope said wiping away a tear and smiling. "Oh yeah well... the system wouldn't boot." Eldrick blinked and shot a glance at Joy,"You plugged it in right?" "Of course... I even broke out the manual and checked all the settings. All the self tests pass... but it won't actually boot." "This shouldn't be happening... you can fill it with cement and it'll boot." Eldrick sighed,"I'll never get to sleep without knowing what's what! Sorry Ami... sorry Hope." "You'd have just all ended up screwing till morning anyway... sis has that look in her eye." Hope turned crimson,"I ... I do not!" "Sex is only natural. Don't worry about it. But we shouldn't be discussing this... Eldrick left ahead of us." Hope looked about and could see Ami beckoning to them from near the Elevator with a smile. The smile faded when the doors opened on the floor to find Washuu staring at what looked like a Geiger counter. She turned around,"You guys doing something funny with this or what? I can hear it at the end of the elevator shaft." Joy blinked,"Hear what?" Then the sound and picture kicked in... coinciding with Eldrick stepping out of the elevator. -=-=-=- "You like your dolly don't you?" "Yes... Yes I do..." "Lick it some more then..." "Um..." "Won't do it? Punishment time! You won't play with dolly... dolly is gonna play with you. Bend him over," the woman in emerald green lace commanded. "Please no..." "No lubricants? Oh okay," she played it around the blindfolded man's ass while another girl set up a camera when a whip was cracked at her. Everyone in the seen was totally under the sway of the Green Laced woman. And deathly afraid of her. Another girl wheeled a screen infront of the victim in shadow. The screen showed his backside. "Please stop this." "What no more teasing and get on with Male Penetration video? Oh alright... I'll even let you watch it being filmed." The man cried as they peeled the blindfold off and a girl was told to lick his ass to wet it up a bit more. The guy held back some moaning obviously as his shadowy presence undulated. Being given a "ringside" seat to watching his seat be licked. Then the girl was commanded to stop... and with only a pause to show him the monster that was going in. The green laced woman rammed it in and left it there. "We'll wait a minute for the pain to subside... I'm not without compassion." "TAKE IT OUT!!!!" "Oh you must be ready for more... and so hard too," She swiveled the camera to his crotch... it showed a very powerful erection that subsided a bit as the torpedo was removed. -=-=-=- No one could move an inch as the film played itself out... to the almost gruesome orgasm that the man had that they highlighted for the camera. They were FORCED to watch for hours until the man started asking for it... complaining when something was going in that wasn't big enough. Moaning with ecstasy when it was churned in his back door. With a sudden stop of the film they could move. Washuu only said,"Not my normal Monday night movie choice that's for sure." Hope asked,"Who was that anyway... the voices were all distorted." Joy contemplated the ceiling and clenched her fist. Ami was on the verge of tears. "Me." The word cut the silence like a knife and Joy punched the wall in frustration. Washuu turned around shocked to look at Eldrick in disbelief. Ami clung to him saying how she wished she could make it all go away for him. Hope couldn't say a word. ::: And he loved EVERY minute of it. All... however many hours. Math was never my strong suit.::: Eldrick's head snapped forward,"Lo... soth?!!?" But the face that greeted him was... Leon's. Leon put down an AD Police issue Bullhorn and said,"Wow it only took you... too damn long to figure it out. Hi Max. Long time no see... well I've seen more of you than I could possibly want now. But I digress. What was it like being manhandled Eldrick. Did it really give ya wood or was that formica?" "Solid wood furniture. Care for a demonstration? Joy bring your friend down to say hi to my colon." "No need for false demonstrations." "Whose being false, Rick? I've enjoyed it with Joy I just can't remember since she was "On Duty" and only the dead remember when they are with her on duty. Please go get it Joy I'm soo hot right now I could vaporize titanium." "I could never... not after seeing... seeing that. Never again," She leaned into the wall silently sobbing. Eldrick approached Joy... he reached to touch her but she pulled away... so he quietly pulled out his manhood and quickly plunged every inch he had into her backside. She reflexively bucked into him and cooed. "It isn't any different for me Joy. The fun we could have had had you known about what being actually on duty meant for your partners. No bindings... no gags... no suffering through my screaming... just fun." "Yes yes. Whatever... remember me... Villain extraordinary who stole your prototype of bailing wire and goats testicles and condoms so that he could still get out of his prison whenever he wanted to without setting foot outside of Hell? The one who instructed the Slaver to be sure to hit Tokyo and go to a certain university at a certain hour for some prospectives who had changed their minds after already signing themselves into service... I even gave him the order to make those contracts that you now possess, Eldrick. You know... the ones where you can ask them quite strongly to do whatever you want... if they are willing enough to do it. They were so hot for each other they almost went down on each other in the Slave mobile!" He looked around,"Hey I'm confessing all my evil plans in a gloating like fashion you could at least listen!!" Everyone was of course purposefully ignoring him and watching Eldrick take Joy from behind. Joy of course had stopped listening a while back. [Author: Could it be she's having too much fun? Naw. No one enjoys all the anal sex in the Arc... no it must be because um... she's tuned him out... yeah that's the ticket. It has nothing to do with the anal sex. Nothing at all.] "Come on! I even used my Camera to make a digital 3d image of the Remote Control of the Gods so that I could have one too!" They still weren't listening... heck Hope was all over her sister's breasts and Ami was whispering sweet nothings to Washuu. "Hey! I only have 10 more pictures to take before my Sexaroid army can begin production!!! STOP IGNORING ME!!!!" Washuu and Ami were kissing each other, Hope was eating her sister -while playing with herself-, and Eldrick was pinching Joy's nipples, when everyone came at almost the same time. "You people disgust even me!" and 'Rick Hunter' killed his transmission. Most everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and stopped fake orgasming -where appropriate. Joy eased Eldrick out and practically climbed on him trying to kiss every inch of his face. "Well I guess that WASN'T a charade to get his goat plushy from him," Washuu pointed out as she stepped away from a very untouched Ami Kintaro. "Glad I figured you were just teasing Washuu when you hadn't touched me yet." "Ami the only time I've ever touched a woman besides myself was Anatomy class at the Science Academy." Ami giggled,"Didn't you just teach that yesterday?" Washuu blushed,"No no I mean eons ago." "And What about during the whole Zero Ryoko thing," Konei blurted. Washuu sighed,"That was for science." Ami turned to Hope,"Were you faking?" Hope looked at the floor and shook her head," I did almost go for my sister... but she said to play with Eldrick's testicles instead... but I confess she smelled really nice..." Eldrick finally fired his man product into Joy who launched off of him and hovered slowly to the floor by her sister where she knelt down, "Thanks for the compliment Hope... not that you should be eating a sibling as naughty as I. I've been everywhere." The Sisters smiled before helping each other stand. Which was both sad and funny to watch. Eldrick 'put himself away' and regarded his machine before speaking. "If onlyVCR Rabbits hadn't been almost free," was all he said. "VCR Rabbits? What's that?" Joy asked. "Oh a little thing so you could watch what was on a VCR in another room. They had just the parts I needed for communication between the two still quite separate pieces. I just didn't think one suite could do this to another suite." Washuu rattled into her computer,"And the Paralysis?" Hope answered,"Lossoth." "Good I was hoping Eldrick hadn't built that into it." Washuu got a flat look,"Hey just teasing," she looked over waving her hands in front of her in warding. The screen, in front of her, blipped 3 times,"Ah done with computations... as I thought. ALL the weird disturbances of the last... man that's a lot of work he's done! He might well have every anime girl's picture by now!" Eldrick blanched,"He wasn't just boasting?" "I'm afraid not," Washuu sighed and drew up the relevant data," This is a giant compiled list of all the funny occurrences of either ' Rick Hunter's ' appearance, sudden flashes... ad nauseam. I'll bet he's even taken pictures of anime girls already in hell's service just so that his army is more complete." Eldrick looked over the data,"He seems to have a projection limit." Washuu,"Really?" she punched up a grid map of the Known Dimensional Steps. "Hey thanks for seeing that," she whirled over the keyboard again. "It's nothing really you'd have seen it soon enough," Eldrick chuckled with a large sweatdrop mounted in his hairline. "Actually I probably wouldn't but I won't get into that... BINGO!" Washuu reads over the data,"He doesn't have them yet? He has to have THEM already." Hope blinked,"Who doesn't he have yet." "The Fanboys! Version of the Sailor Senshi." "Why them specifically?" "They are more hardened from dealing with fanboys and fangirls... his target audience it seems. Look here and here... he seems to have rather wanted a fan's idea of a character than the actual original." "What good is that kind of data... isn't it basically tainted?" Hope inquired. "True... that's what I can't wrap around my brain," Washuu punched at the screen in frustration,"I've been investigating this for far too long. I'm tapped out of ideas," she sighed then looked at Eldrick,"How about you... you've got a brain... come on you probably have some wierd idea floating in there about what MUST be going on." Eldrick blushed,"It's silly." "Speak." "Well if his target is the fans... why not use 'material' that's more likely to know the secret wishes of the fans," Washuu just nodded," Like the difference between handing a new shoe to a crime dog or handing one of the victim/culprits shoes fresh off of their foot." "Correct." "What you already knew?!" "Yep." "Why'd you make me say it then?" Eldrick scratched his head. "Tell ya later right now... you need to see how Max is doing," Washuu poked his stomach. "But the Fanboys! don't exactly want me in there..." Ami smiled,"It'll be okay... Max has been living fairly peacefully with them for a while now... ChibiUsa is doing fine goofing off with Max all the time and thereby staying out of the Fanboys! wrathful hair. Everything should be fine. You'll even get to check up on Sunahama and Kasumi." "Didn't I leave them in Tokyo? The AHSM Tokyo?" "Um with all the Fanboys! References..." "Oh no..." "Yes the Tokyo the group is attached to... fluctuates... when you were in there... it was the Fanboys! Tokyo." "Oh heck... I left them to be panty snatched by Havoc..." Eldrick worried ignoring the fact that they were from there anyway. Joy grinned,"They don't wear any." Hope blushed,"Sensible." "Why easy access? Is that why you go without." "OH NO!" Hope turned a few different shades of red,"It makes for less laundry. That's all I meant." "Just an ecchi check is all. So Eldrick taking anyone with you?" Joy suddenly had a camping style backpack on her back and heart eyes in her eyes,"I'll make sure Kas and Suna are in good working order... I mean safe. Oh and Jo too." "You're hopeless." "Yes I am sis... yes I am," Joy winked at Hope. Eldrick pondered as he put on his gear,"You know... once you guys get out of the car... you'll Fanboy Shift. Take on new looks... need new names for temporary issues..." The Demonettes blinked,"Um no... we won't." "No?" Ardice answered,"We don't shift... Joy and Hope and Ami though..." Ego commented on the convenience of that... and got whacked with a broom. Joy smiled broadly,"I bet I know who I'll look like. I'm sure sis will look like Rei Ayanami. As for Ami..." Ami smiled,"I checked the other day... a blue eyed Shayla-Shayla... in Hikaru's school outfit." "How cute!" "Thanks. Who will you look like?" "sorewa himitsu desu." Ego looked blank,"What's that mean... who is that?" Konei answered,"I think she's saying she's going to look like Xellos." "Nerf for brains... it means 'It's a secret.'" Ardice corrected,"I think." Joy posed then announced,"I'm driving!" Ami smiled then shook her head,"We're talking my car. It's coded to only respond to me. Sorry." "Good Luck," Eldrick called... especially after he saw Washuu give them something to use to detect both Max and Rick. "You'll have to find me if you need me... I can't just go find you... we don't have a few days advanced warning on this." "Understood," Hope said before disappearing down the stairs. "Washuu... plug me in." Washuu began typing shortly after attaching Eldrick to the machine. Eldrick grunted at the sudden influx of information, but then it was always like this. Projecting through continuity barriers -even into copies of other continuities- was alot harder than picking up the clicker and pushing some buttons. Fortunately this time things wouldn't implode in the machine. [Author's Note: So sue me. I can't leave a good idea down. Be glad I have no intention of mainstreaming the nanites or Noh'ohki. Regardless of their protests. Some ideas I am not gonna pick up till I have to.]. He opened his eyes after he got up to speed on what had happened. He was happy with the results. It was much later... he'd popped in at a proper point... one that wasn't written. The best kind. Of course the bad part is he didn't know crap about what was going on... Were the senshi still dealing with the FanserviceQuartet? Hopefully... otherwise he'd be really lost. Bad enough the dummy program didn't keep track of such things. His door opened. He turned his head. She was there... ready to go shopping and stuff. Another Day of keeping her away from the fanboys. For their safety. He reached for a shirt from his "closet". He read it first,"'Glomp the artist' Thanks Havoc." "Ready?" She asked without coming into view of his bed... she didn't know if he was dressed afterall. "I am now," he stepped into view. "You must really like that shirt Havoc got you. Maybe you should buy a new one today." "Perhaps you're right." He went over and picked up his bike, and carried the monster outside... barely as usual. "Maybe I should buy a lighter bike too," He smiled. "You'll feel better after breakfast," she said shaking a finger at him. He chuckled,"Well let's get to it then!" He put on his helmet, and she muttered about her hair as she put hers on. They climbed on the bike and were off. DURING ALL OF THIS "Can't we change the color? You're positively mired in red Ami." Ami smiled,"Oh alright... ColorShift... sea green." |Compliance. The car changed colors as Ami put the roof away since they needed to see, not be comfortably anonymous. Everyone stowed equipment and then she started the engine. The demonettes waved as the car pulled out of it's garage and launched into flight up the ramp leaving the car to toil as cars do behind them. Hope looked pensive,"I do pray they wait for the signal first." "Hope... everything will be fine," Ami reassured. The grounded group stopped before the gate and waited for the signal. The Aerial group batted their wings in a hover ready to leap through. Over the com system Gerard announced,"Post Finished. Uploading to server. Good luck." They would ride a Fanboys! related post to the appropriate Tokyo. Of course to even an observant onlooker nothing would seem any different. And indeed the trip was pretty instantaneous. But still. It would be very annoying to get across and find you'd hit the normal one for Sailor Moon, and not the Fanboys! Sailor Moon. "Uploaded." Joy Pointed her riding crop 'Mercy' forward,"Charge!" and they did. On the other side a space for a car just seemingly randomly happened. A Fluke. Then a car appeared in it. A Coincidence coupled with an improbability... but no one noticed. Ami turned the car into the first Alley she could. Where the Aerial Unit waited. "Com set test... 4 3 2 1 aren't we all just having fun," she watched the readouts for the reply since if her sisters nodded she'd BARELY see them. They were obscured from sight. The appropriate voices and lights lit up. The Car entered the Alley. "Our turn. 6789 our communicators are working fine," Ami said subvocally as she watched the readouts. All the right voices and lights went on. "Right the plan is to use the Equipment to 1 Verify Eldrick... err Max's position. And then Use the Equipment to find and neutralize Rick 'Lossoth' Hunter. It'll piss him off no end and he may simply come right back... be ready. He may also increase his abilities... and or use his own powers. Be Careful. She got the affirmative over the system. "Break and Search." The demonettes went even more hard to see and then were gone. "Right girls. Max should be only a few blocks away... let's find that pancake shop." Ami drove the car -red again since entering into Fanspace!- through the alley to the next street and merged with traffic. Soon they were passing the café and saw Max Sterling and Ch
