"No your other left!" The girl known as Jo Insei called. Well today she was
Coach Jo Insei. Why was she coach? Well the 3 girls apartment complex manager
decided it was high time for a rate increase at the lease re-signing. Typical.
"Remember to block!"

"I know I know!" Kasumi was already deftly showing that she knew such things.

Sunahama snickered,"At this rate the world will MEMORIZE what you look like
naked."

Kasumi's sparing partner smirked,"Not one of MY pupils. Alright that's enough
for now," announced Margo as she bowed to Kasumi.

"Hai Sensei."

Jo turned to Sunahama,"Next."

Sunahama bowed and climbed into the arena,"I am ready!"

"Are you now? Well we'll just have to see how ready you are," Haris bowed to her
corner and stood and turned to face Sunahama. She breathed for calm and
exhaled,"Slow Fist Sword style will be yours soon enough."

"Arigatou Sensei! I've been practicing."

"Show me."

Sunahama focused calmed and exhaled. She then opened her eyes just as Haris was
about to attack.

"Just concentrate on the test and everything will be fine."

"Hai Dr. Akagi," Hope said as she started her sync test.


ELSEWHERE 2

"If only they knew the strings that make them dance. Strings that make them see
what they want to see," the voice chuckled femininely,"Or should I say what I
want them to see."

Suddenly the door burst in,"I never said you could borrow a," Lossoth looked
left and right,"succubus... Where'd the girl go?"

"What girl?" said what SEEMED to be the same voice from before... though
decidedly masculine now. Okay okay right fine you got me... geeky but male. The
voice is male now... I swear.

"Hey I'm not stupid I can smell a girl from 2 miles away encased in titanium who
just had a bath in coffee!"

"Impressive."

"So Where'd the tasty treat go?"

"There was no girl... I was using a voice. Listen," Malhificion adjusted his
voice,"Oh Lossoth you're so kawaii with all your tentacles neh neh?"

Lossoth nodded sagely,"Alright I'll buy it. But no sneaking girls in here! You
have to sign for them first."

"Si senőr, Pimp Daddy," Malhificion bowed.

Lossoth un-burst in. The doors where back in place as if nothing had happened.
Malhificion reverted to her shape,"Yeesh... I hate his sneak inspections. I
can't believe I have to be respected by the chauvinist pig... but still he
SMELLED a girl in here too. RIGHT WHEREEVER YOU ARE STEP OUT! I don't care what
games you are running but come right out. I don't bite."

No response.

"I could... contrive something to find you... my powers of contrivance are
legendary! Besides... it's not like I'd turn you over to him. Your meddling in
his affairs might be even more fun. And my affairs are like an open fanfiction.
Some would say a bad fanfiction but that's merely their opinion."

No response.

"Alrighty," a pen appeared in Malhificion's hand,"Oooh I like this
contrivance... a pen that writes reality! Hmm... Akio would LOVE this... anyway
,'And the fair maiden crept out of hiding and introduced herself to the Goddess
of Bad Fanfiction, who at the time was in a masculine guise.' And we hit the
enter button on the pen."

Ardice found herself creeping out of hiding,"I am Ardice formerly in Lossoth's
'employ'," she watched her fingers wiggle indicating quotes. She was herself
again and looked Mal in the eye,"Well you've contrived me out. Now what?"

"What did you do in his employ?"

"No need to talk about that."

"Ah you rode his roots of lust... until he decided you and your sisters were
boring... my memory is not as it used to be... too many plots too many
contrivances... too many characters to remember. But I remember you now. So you
are here spying?"

"Yes."

"On me?"

"I was in your ventilation duct."

"Irrelevant."

"Oh?"

"Yep there's a path to the next dominion in the roof of the building. So you
being here might just be coincidence. Yep that's all it is."

"You sound like you are convincing yourself of that."

"Well once I do... it's true according to my world my reality. If I wanted to
convince myself I was your long lost lover I could..."

"Why would you do that?" Ardice said with a twitch.

"Why to get reactions. Why do you think I write fanfiction? It's all for
reactions... good bad... I'm the guy with the pen."

"That's disturbing."

"I know... isn't it great? I get all tingly just thinking of the power of
Contrivance I have. And I love watching others Contrive too."

"I can feel you capitalizing contrivance... stop it."

"I'm hurt... ow."

"I doubt it."

"No no no no you mustn'y doubt. Doubting isn't fun! V!"

Ardice twitched harder,"You SAID 'V' as you made the Victory Sign. That's
annoying."

"Ooh I got a reaction, V!"

Ardice twitched again,"You're annoying you know that?"

"V!"

"Can I go now?"

Malhificion presented Ardice with a box,"Here a gift for participating in the
show."

"What show?"

"Guess the Contrivance of course. Enjoy!"

"But I haven't played anything like that."

"Sure you did... I just convinced myself that you did. And look... we're on the
set of a gameshow!"

Ardice blinked and looked around... funky hip colors... 2 other guests... who
looked odd somehow... authors?

"Now take that back to your author Miss Avatar. Thanks for playing."

"I'm an Author Avatar? No way. What game are you pulling here?!"

Malhificion backed away from the large gun barrel,"It's obvious you are...
where'd that gun come from? What's it powered by... what does it use for
bullets? See you an AA," Malhificion pushed the barrel from the bra line of HIS
Vanna White Dress. Although suddenly he was a she again and simply clapping for
Ardice who bowed to the audience and waved what now looked like a copy of the
home game over her head. "Now... Mr. Kasumo, Tremolite... the lightning round!"

The contestants,"Ooooooh!"

Ardice blinked when she got to th next realm,"The hell was that!" She looked at
the box... which still looked like a copy of the home game. "Maybe Eldrick can
make some sense of this. I don't believe that... guy... had me convinced I was
an
Author Avatar! Messing with my head."

She continued the trip back muttering. Nothing gave her a seconds delay.

ELSEWHERE 3

"Another carrot? But we are out Noh'ohki. I'm sorry. Maybe Eldrick can make you
some when he gets back from FanSpace."

Noh'ohki looked put out. Of course with his ears being tugged on by an SD...
well Hyper SD... demon catgirl Noh WAS quite put out. The Cabbitoid made a ball
of yarn and rolled it away from itself... SD Konei-chan leapt after it... and
over the edge of the counter.

"Miya-ahh!"

Astrala watched the "kitten" instantly get over it as it tangled itself in yarn.
She turned back to Noh'ohki who was sniffling over severely chewed on ears. Not
knowing which one to console Astrala went back to working on her... Wrist
Hibachi? Knowing Astrala....

UPSTAIRS

"Are you sure there's nothing I can do for you, Lord Eldrick?"

Eldrick glanced up from his 2 GB of email,"Well I know you don't wanna go
through this for me."

"I'd rather not Lord Eldrick."

He sighed,"You don't ha..."

"But I like to Lord Eldrick. I'm sorry I just do. Call it some Aeka-wannabe
fantasy or something," she was quiet as he fidgeted over the mountain of email
he was slowly getting through. He was still going over messages from before
even AMI had showed up Charhon noticed. SHe wondered what she could do and then
an idea hit,"I know! I can make you some tea," Eldrick grabbed her arm. She
blushed,"Is there something else you wanted, My Lord?"

"Um... kinda... it's up to you of course."

"Anything."

"If you could sit in my lap... it would make the mail go by faster."

She smiled, and then moved to remove her clothing. He lit up like a Christmas
Tree, and grabbed her hands. "Something wrong Lord Eldrick?"

"Just... sit..." he panted obviously just holding himself back from leaping on
her. And not being of the natural world she could tell. And it was bothering
him. She removed his hands from hers. "I don't blame you..."

She sat down in his lap,"For what Lord Eldrick?" she placed her head on his
shoulder quelling fantasies and slowing her heart rate. "Like this My Lord?"

"Y... yes," her warm body pressed against him was calming. He wanted to say
something but held off for a few emails. "I like what you've been doing outside
with the landscaping."

"Thank you, Lord Eldrick," fantasies were just running and running through her
head now. She couldn't stop them. Proximity was key here. Eldrick's will power
was obviously reinforced through the monotony of the email checking. She shifted
position and slipped her legs behind him. She could now feel him holding back
but it was a surface thought. It was lost in the confusion too quickly as she
slowly ground herself against his leg. She somehow kept all sound inside and
silent. She just had to... he didn't need to stop reading his mail.


Eventually she settled to sleep after she'd achieve her goal. He slowed his
breathing. He'd get over it. That's all there was to it. He continued his email
with a pulse that threatened to vibrate the chair apart.

IN THE SECURITY BOOTH

"The Commander has a fleet's worth of self-restraint. The Job at hand is all.
What a Role Model he is!"

"Neh Gerard..."

Gerard turned the secondary recording device on,"I am Ready."

"Whee! BANZAI!" She giggled and launched at him,"Does it bother you that I'm so
lusty, My Gerard?"

"Konei-chan... if you weren't I'd wonder what alien had replaced you."

"You say the sweetest things," she said as she unzipped his jumpsuit.

ELSEWHERE (Final)

Rapture sat on Deputy Ami Kintaro's Desk,"Hoee, What a day. With Joy actually
doing her job I had so little to do today. I've been meaning to ask... what's up
with the Sailor Fuku?"

Ami smiled,"I fight for Love Justice and the Hopes of people everywhere!"

"Did you practice that?"

"Yep."

"But really."

"Well Hope when she looked into the job description... at first she just wore
her Nurse's Outfit. But she didn't feel it was the right thing to wear... so she
looked ahead."

"And found out what she wore now? Isn't that paradoxical... not that we need to
worry about that."

"No... she watched some magical girl shows."

"Mahou Shoujo. Alright it's officially explained to me," she blinked like she'd
never understand,"And yours?"

"I based mine on hers... and when I found out why she made hers like that -and
I'd seen no one else here dresses this way- I decided to keep the style. No need
to make her feel alienated. And it's so comfortable. You should try one."

"Not even if ordered."

"That's too bad," came a voice by the door,"They aren't say cheerleading
outfits... but they are nice and snug," Joy whirled,"What you think Rapture?"
Joy modeled her white on white -with a single cabochon brooch- that was
obviously maximized for form fitting... then reduced a size.

"It looks like it's going to shred from you any minute. It's a size too small...
it has no color at all... blends in with your pale skin to well... and it' more
form fitting than needs to be."

"That's not what I was hoping to hear."

"Not my department."

Joy fled the room crying.

Prospect came in then and said,"Rapture you are cruel."

"I am?"

Prospect answered her,"Yes you're cruel."

"I am?"

Ami bit her lip,"I hate to break it to you but you are."

"I guess I am then. Oh well. It's not like I'll ever let her have sex with me."

A new wail was heard down the hallway.

Inquisitor Dharm's face appeared on a viewscreen,"Rapture, You're cruel."

"I know."

BACK TO ELSEWHERE 3

"Welcome back Ardice! Cookie?"

"And keep them coming. That was a head trip."

"Sis did you watch Utena and Evangelion back to back again instead of the
mission?"

"No... today I did the mission," she flopped the box on the table.

"What's that?"

"A copy of the home version of 'Guess the Contrivance.'"

Astrala looked at the plain white mailing envelope,"Really?"

Ardice looked over," Yeah... why !" She noticed it had changed,"I was a box a
minute ago!"

"Well it's addressed to Eldrick. Where'd you get it?"

Ardice opened her mouth,"I'm not entirely sure anymore."

"Well it's validated from the postal dimension... maybe you got it from the
courier you got the ride in with?"

"Yeah that was it."

"You sure?"

"Of course not. I'll take some tea with these cookies and then I'll TRY to write
my report. Try."

"I'll take this up to Eldrick then," she blinked as SD Konei was up on the
counter batting at the envelope. "Hey now stop that." Then Noh'ohki leapt onto
the counter grabbed the package and dashed up the stairs.

SD Konei sat there wailing until Astrala petted her,"How one ditz could become 2
permanently is beyond me," SD Konei looked at her funny,"Um... What I mean is...
Konei-chan... catch Noh'ohki!"

She dashed off the counter... and of course onto the floor but was moving to
fast to feel anything it seems.

Astrala ran to keep up and called up the stair,"Kitty-girl hunting be careful!"
She came to a halt to see that Noh'ohki was actually taking the package to
Eldrick. SD Konei was bouncing around Noh in triumph.

Charhon slowly woke up, and then drowsily mumbled something about sleep before
getting up and leaving. Eldrick was visibly relieved. Noh'ohki leapt up to the
keyboard with the package.

What Eldrick picked up and what Noh'ohki was dragging around suddenly became two
different things. "A Present Astrala? And it's not even a holiday."

"What?" She came into the room. She stared at it,"But that was just an
envelope... now it's a big box with a bow on it? And for Ardice with was a
box... a take home copy of a gameshow. 'Guess the Contrivance'. This is very
strange."

"I think I'll email Washuu about this."

"Email me about what? A Plain paper box?"

"When you get here Washuu?"

"Just a minute ago... Charhon rode the elevator too far and I had to bring her
back this way," she examined the box. She shook it,"This is knee deep in
contrivance. So much so that you can tell it's contrived. This was not made by
an Author Avatar. So what is it?"

Eldrick and Astrala blinked at her,"We don't know." Astrala added," It's changed
size and shape a few times."

"Hmm and one was GtC eh? Hmm... that means it's from Malhificion."

"How do you know that!"

"It says so on the package level of the contrivance. See?" She fiddled with it a
bit until it changed to the package illusion.

Eldrick looked at it dubiously,"But what do you think is in it?"

Washuu smiled, and ripped the package open,"A Carrot? Hmm and it's giving off
odd magical emanati-" Noh'ohki leapt up and devoured it,"emanations."

Noh'ohki licked it's paws. The jewel on it's forehead lit up, and a projection
of a orange kitten with a Lunar Crest on... his forehead spoke up,"Thank you for
your purchase of a fine product from Henshin Dynamics! The Henshin Device you
have chosen has many many abilities built in and many more can be added to it.
It is henshin mascot compatible, and even holds within it a useful upgrade for
most if indeed not all henshin mascots. You should register the device with us

access to our catelogue and will get emails periodically about new products from
Henshin Devices. As is policy in Transformation Anime all sales are indeed
final. Saving the known universe is not something you can back down from. Even
if you are just a hobbyist world saver you never know when the forces of light
may require even the skills you figure are miles below par. So in short it's
bought it's paid for it's a keeper. Enjoy. This message will only play once. If
you wish it to be repeated you can just read it on our corporate website...
where you may purchase upgrades... additional henshin mascots -can't always
bring Pegasus with you, you Tekka-types- even additional henshin devices
-sometimes an older backup can save your can in a pinch!

"Please direct all questions to our webpage. If an Evil henshiner of course
reword the above spiel accordingly," the hologram said before popping out of
existence.

Washuu looked at Noh'ohki,"You don't have that message in memory by any chance
do you Noh-chan?"

Eldrick ran translation,"'What message?' The one you've just been playing! The
one you're carrying around inside your rusty innards!" He turned to Washuu,"I'll
bring up the webpage. Noh doesn't know what I'm talking about."

He loaded his web browser and conducted a search for Henshin Dynamics.

Washuu looked at the screen,"Pretty no frills site... didn't the cat SAY there
would be more information here? We could order a new one... add-on to this
one... via the Cabbitoid... but customer service seems non-existant... we can't
input information to know what all powers Noh'ohki ingested..." Washuu cast the
package remains at the recycle slot. Something was ejected as un-processible.

Astrala picked it up and then sat in Eldrick's lap to examine it. "Wow... active
picture technology! Wow... Eld's blushing,"She looked over her shoulder quickly
to check. "SD picture but accurate," she handed the card to Washuu.

"Hmm it lists your name. Wow it lists you as an SI AA. You're class isn't a
high number however probably due to not having too much fun with your powers.
Bust Waist Hips... oh my... and weight too... and your current location. Also
has your height. Hey hey it lists Noh'ohki as your henshin mascot. The Back
lists known transformations... hmm pretty thorough," she pushes a button,"A
Powers You Know crib sheet! Nice all in all. So when do I get to see you
transform?"

"Eldy will need a cold shower first," Astrala giggled,"Or I could..."

"Oh?" Washuu shooed SD Konei out of the room, and told Noh'ohki to guard the
door.

Eldrick sweatdropped and looked at Washuu,"You're staying?"

"Data data data," she closed the door with her foot.

ELSEWHERE 2

"Oh I just love my plots!" Malhificion caroled and danced around.

Mal's door opened,"You signed for me, Master?"

"Master Mistress... these are details to a being with my level of Contrivance! I
understand your species has a certain Contrivance... making things larger and
smaller? Let's have some fun with that. Then I'll make sure you get to enjoy it
for once."

"It's not possible..."

"Baby... I am impossibility. And Now... Yuri Theater is proud to present...
me... you and... well..."

"Yuri... sir? Oh," She blinked. Then she saw and understood.

ELSEWHERE (1)

"We who can vary our sync rates are precious. It is good to be in your company,
Hope," Pilot Nagisa announced.

Toji smirked,"'Kaji' Nagisa... I swear. If you two are done flirting, there IS a
briefing going on."

"Toji's right, Kaoru. We should be concentrating on the briefing about to happen
not each other," Aida noted.

"Yes of course. It was my error in judgement that now was the perfect time for
small talk. I shall endeavor to never repeat the mistake again. We all shall.
Right Pilot Horaki?"

She pulled back from about to tap Suzahara on his shoulder,"Right."

There was a yelp from the hallway. Ritsuko sent Maya to go look,"Doctor you
won't believe the deja vu I'm having right now."

Aida was out there camera poised. He lowered the lens,"Oh... you guys know the
hallways is no place for that. I think I'll burn this disc..." he regarded his
camera like it had been infected.

"Shinji carry me. I think I twisted it," part of the heap said. That part
sounded like Asuka.

"I think you're just faking it," another part said. That part sounded like
Shinji.

"Ano..." several parts said at once. The voices matched... Pestilence. Of course
voices because he'd disassembled into his 6 parts again. One however suddenly
called out,"Hotcha! SD Evas!" and was promptly flung into an overhead light. 
Asuka quickly disentangled and ran to a bathroom with her panties.

Shinji stood and dusted himself off. He entered the room soon after. Kamui 
followed him in... all 6 of him... obviously he hadn't UNpanicked yet. But 
then 3 people rushing out of 3 elevators and having a collision isn't an 
everyday thing.

Gendo appeared with Ayanami in the doorway as if on cue. "You'll forgive me Dr. 
Akagi for detaining one of the Pilots you intend on having a conference with." 
He expected no response and he didn't get one. Ritsuko just idly felt at where 
she recalled the bullet had entered.

Ayanami simply came in and sat towards the back of the room. Many could seem to 
HEAR her smile as Kaoru slid an arm around Hope's shoulders... and soon had the 
arm placed back in his personal space.

Ritsuko sipped her coffee. Hikari noticed the look on her face and zoomed out to
see where Asuka had gone. Both came in soon after - Asuka sporting a bottle of 
sock glue.

"Now we can get started. As you may have heard The NERV Facility that had 
disappeared into a Sea of Diroc some time ago reappeared yesterday. The facility
has no power at all currently. The computers are dead," as she talked she showed
slides and video footage alternately.

"The most disturbing part is this," she showed a shot of a Chrome Evangelion 
much like Pesti-chan's Eva-04 Hell Custom's initial design.

Aida was excited,"You mean they'd finished another one after Kamui's? Alright 
this is awesome."

Maya looked stern,"Keep watching."

And as she spoke the Eva turned it's head and slaughtered the helicopter with 
the camera.

"Another pilot? What do we grow on trees now?" Toji was pissed,"And why isn't he
on OUR side?"

Ritsuko sipped her coffee as again she was forestalled in explaining,"Any other 
random disturbances?"

Everyone stilled. Hope raised her hand.

"Yes ... Hope."

"I noticed the Eva had no shadow. I also noticed that the running lights weren't
in operation. Could it be berserk?"

"We'd like to continue believing that. But point of fact is there was no plan 
for a second Chrome Eva. At least not from that Facility. 03 and 04 should have 
been all that came out of there."

Ayanami spoke up in the back of the room,"So it's the Angel in a new form?"

"Perhaps Rei. We aren't sure yet. The Footage does show that there is solid 
armor where the entry plug would go so it's unpiloted. The plug graft hasn't 
been applied at least."

Fuyuutski chimed in from the door,"For all we know it's just the Angel with 04's
spare armor over it. We just don't know. Current Mission spec is to retrieve it 
and bring it to this facility. Eva, Angel, or other. Aida, Horaki I want you 2 
to go. Hope you will be backup with Toji. Kaoru provide recon in 05.

"After it has been dealt with I want you all to explore the facility in hopes of
finding their S2 Organ research. It's not like we can just take a sliver from 01
or 05. Captain Katsuragi is currently overseeing the transfer of non-flying 
Eva's to the transport craft.

"Shirou call that Mecha lunatic you know and make SURE Eva 04 is ready to be 
aerial support here. With 05 out we'll need someone for flying entrance 
interference. Everybody else... assume Zhamiel or some other Angel is going to 
show up. We can't take risks back at original strength as we are Eva-wise. Good 
Luck Pilots."

Ritsuko then spoke again,"The Complete briefing is stored in your Evas already. 
We are on borrowed time here. If that Berserker decides to leave the facility it
will put a very bad slant on us and the last of the little funding we have will 
dry up."

Pestilence -newly whole again- looked sullen,"This is just like in Dilbert... 
'too critical to kill, not important enough to fund.'"

"Basically."

"We must now spread wing and fly to other shores in order to continue our 
vigilant protection of the Culture we all enjoy,"Kaoru paused,"Life and limb 
must be risked to save this Earth and it's people from the Seraphim Scourge 
before all is barren in their wake. Pilots prepare to battle for all our souls 
anew."

Asuka chimed in,"Who made you leader of the Pep Squad," She rolled her 
eyes,"Enjoy America. Come back alive."

Everyone filed off in their separate directions. Hikari spoke,"Aida, you don't 
have to salute Asuka like that."

"Everyone needs to feel important from time to time. And it makes me think I'm a
Soldier off to foreign lands to save the world!"

Toji chuckled,"Kensuke... you are."

"Oh yeah."

Toji looked over his shoulder,"Yo Relena, Hope whatever your name is. You should
speak up more. Else you're gonna become just like Ayanami."

Hope blinked,"But I already look like her..."

"That's not what I mean. Oh how to say this?"

"I understand what you mean Suzahara. I was just teasing you."

Aida snicker,"And you fell for it Toji."

He smirked at Kensuke,"Oh shut up. Record something," the camera was googling at
him,"Besides me."

"Yeah you're no Sakura," They entered the hangar,"WHOA The New Bomber versions 
of the carriers... those bombs though smaller make almost as much damage as an 
N2 mine if dropped at once! They detonate on impact. They're smart too. They 
have Friend or Foe capability. They can even be guided in manually by laser."

Kaoru looked over at Aida,"Hopefully our skills will prove no match for the 
Rogue and these bombs will not be needed in the final tally. Of course they 
should not become a crutch either and so if we can do it ourselves we should not
turn to them to finish the job."

Misato rode over,"What are you guys waiting for? We should have taken off 
yesterday," everyone climbed into the conveyance,"Oh yeah Relena... here's your 
mission pack. Memorize it. Also you're specifically ordered to not use your 
hocus pocus unless absolutely necessary."

Hope nodded,"Understood Captain. The Order is from Commander Ikari correct?"

"Bingo. The rest is in the mission pack. I hear it's not fun. I do know that 
besides anything else you're to help me with the power cables... and if called 
in you are to call in targets for the bombers... unless that says different."

"I'll be sure to not hit any of the Eva," she smiled,"Save the correct one."

"That's the spirit. Okay people board your Evas now or get on the aircraft," She
heard that Nagisa was prepared for launch,"All Lights green? LAUNCH EVA!"

Hope was the only one left in the conveyance as they rode it straight onto the 
aircraft that would take them -and if needed- carry the Rogue -as Pilot Nagisa 
had called it- back to base.

BACK TO MAIN

Jo stepped up and pulled out her Variable Geo ID. A Pillar jutted out of the 
ground of the alley displacing garbage. "Jo Insei, Blood Type O. Style Unnamed."

Her opponent a 32-24-39 Brazilian raised Anglo-saxen, pulled out her card,"Cary 
Meriweather, Blood Type AB+," was all she said as she started dancing to an 
unseen song and beat. Jo began breathing fast and light.

This would be a class 5 Battle.

Jo leapt and kicked off a wall aiming for just in front of Cary. Her kicking 
foot twisted over and brought up a shower of dust when Meriweather dodged. But 
Jo was already leaping in to a spin kick that nearly magically sucked up the 
dirt as she spun. Her foot connected and the debris scattered everywhere as a 
fine mist of dust.

Visibility was 0.

Before Jo could press her advantage Cary nailed her in the back with a leaping 
double punch which she rolled to her feet afterwards. However now on the ground 
Jo whirled her legs around and both feet caught Cary -one chin one chest. Jo 
pressed her advantage and continued her motion and pushed off a wall with her 
hands and brought Meriweather to the ground a few feet away from where they 
landed.

Cary slowly stood,"Let's say that was the 10 count. I can't seem to get above 
Rank 5. I need to train more. Maybe we'll fight again."

Jo clapped her hands once and the dust settled,"I'm sorry."

"Someone has to win someone has to lose," Cary shrugged out of her 
outfit,"Besides maybe seeing what a real woman's numbers are some of you 
Americans might learn to appreciate Bum over Breast," She was naked no. Not a 
single tan line as she posed and flexed for the camera. Almost like she was on 
the catwalk showing off the latest look in Brazilian Fashion.

"Well it's got my attention. Doing anything later? I know a nice restaurant."

A shoe hit Insei in the back of the head. Irate Kasumi Chatter followed,"And 
with what money would you take her out hmm? Remember what the diet is like back 
at the apartment?"

Jo picked up the shoe and tossed it back,"What? Havoc gave me a raise."

Kasumi and Sunahama stared at her in disbelief.

"Mainly because I now agree to mud wrestle Monday-Wednesday. So I figured I'd 
celebrate with some wine woman and song."

Sunahama blurt out,"But what about us?"

"I'd be happy to bring you along too."

"What's the catch Miss Jo "Enjo" Insei?"

"I get to take pictures of you while you sleep."

"We must confer," Announced Kasumi.

Jo meanwhile helped Cary get dressed. She was slow about it but Cary at least 
seemed to be open minded to the attention. Jo picked up a picture of a 
guy,"Who's this?"

"My Husband... he's in jail. He's innocent... but the lawyers are gonna be 
expensive. That's why I fight. Plus even when I lose I know he's watching 
cheering me on."

They retrieved their VG ID's and found Kasumi and Sunahama still arguing.

"They always like this?"

"Yep," answered Jo.

"Girls stop fighting unless you wanna make this a 'legal' scuffle," Jo and Cary 
wiggled their VG cards in the air.

Kasumi and Sunahama blanched then blushed.

Jo smiled,"Right then dinner for naked pictures."

Sunahama rebutted,"You said while we sleep and we don't sleep naked!"

Kasumi added,"Yeah it's uncomfortable."

"Remember the food Kittens," Meriweather said walking to her car and holding 
open the door.

Jo blinked,"How did you afford that!"

"My Husband is in jail because he took the rap. He wanted to. Only thing he ever
did to really show he cares for me."

All three then said,"Cary," in sympathy. Of course Jo had heart eyes. Probably 
because she fluffed her hair just right. Or that Cary was Beautiful Built and 
Breathing. At least that's the look she soon got from The Irate Duo. One of 
those "She is not an object to be ogled!" kind of looks.

There Joyful Noise Unit 05.

For those squirming about the Eva stuff and the VG stuff rest assured that the 
Eva stuff ends soon. Yep the fragmented AT Field known as that subplot will get 
Lance of Longinus'd soon enough.

Next up and Omake or 2 to kill time ^-^ Well not literally Pu-sama is too genki 
for that.

Setsuna: Who's genki?!

Um... well did you all like the in jokes so far?



And what's up with the mysterious carrot that Noh'ohki ate.

Roshni: Isn't that just a justification for tying your Omake and Normal plot 
lines together so eventually there's no distinction or something.

¬.¬+ Something like that.

Tremolite wanders through on a dias holding up the trophy from the "Guess the 
Contrivance" gameshow.

Roshni: and why did HE have to win?

Ruri-sama: Baka.

I can retcon it in your favor...

Roshni: Really?!

Ruri-chan: Baka baka.

I could...

Roshni: ^-^!

But I won't.

Roshni: I have more Contrivance than him! ;.;

Ruri-chan: Minna baka.

Fuujin-chan: You said it.

Runo: Why hasn't the fic ended yet? o.0

Minna: *everyone looks at the readers* Well? Go away.
