Disclamer: I do not own Ronin Warriors/Yoroiden samurai troopers (whatever you fancy) I also do not own A Wrinkle In Time series by Madeline L'Ngel (There is a mention of tesseract and that's all that's from)
Chapter One: When the heck am I?
Joshien Plumber... Sounds like a relatively normal name, right? Well it walks hand in hand with a very bizarre girl, who knows very strange people. Joshy (which is what her friends call her) had a ravenous thirst for adventure.. Which is quite unlike any other twelve year old girl, but then, she was very strange after all, and you must keep this in mind when reading this. Her looks suggested so. Her ebony hair was never kept, yet still looked okay in its way. Her cloths always hung baggily over her not-quite-yet-formed silhouette. She prized a outleg tomboyish yet not attitude but despite always goofing off outside, she was very, very pail. Over all, she was no styling prep that graced (ha!) her school, but she was quite charming in a wild way. And her last striking feature, her eyes were two different colors, one green and one gray.
She was then thrilled when she gained membership (one of the first memberships) to a secret organization which (as some would say) interfered in other worlds. Joshy, of course, do to her mischievous nature, would have cheerleaded for the chance to go into another world (which is saying an awful lot). However, also perhaps due to her mischievous nature, was turned down to her request.
Until that one day. This day in particular Gamina (head in outward travel department) called her in with an emergency favor. She was particularly moody that day, mostly because her favorite anime had been taken off the air, of which she hadn't seen all of. She grumbled nastily to herself as she slide down the elm portal to headquarters.
"Yes Saahheebuh!" she exaggerated her speech so as to add a hint of satire. Above all she hated playing the toady. Of course, replying to a favor asked of you is hardly a toady offence but remembering she is very strange and very moody, her subconscious bugged her about it. She looked up to a woman with three steady crystal eyes (yes three) standing straight and quite tall dressed in elegant and odd wear, looking much more imposing than the girl who stood in bright Hawaiian shirt and green caprices (that didn't really match).
"Well my dear" Gamina's voice chimed like crystal bells, "you're time has finally come."
"You say that Like I'm about to be lynched."
"No my dear, you get what you've been dreaming of," Gamina laughed.
"Have you been eavesdropping on my thoughts! I knew it! Iiiiiiiii knew It"
Gamina ignored her gloating, "I am allowing you to go on another world mission to clear up some business... Well what do you say" she said still expecting speechlessness.
"Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" The thing about Joshy is that she could not stay mad for a long amount of time, her one track mind could be quite easily de-railed.
"We-welcome... I ..may not be human... But.. I still need... to breath!" Joshy released her thanks ridden death grip on Gamina's neck.
"Sooooo, now what?"
"Well when you get to the other world all you really need to do is help around... nothing big just generally follow you're honor code."
"Oh..." Joshy lost some of her zeal with this statement, she didn't see much of a possibility of gut wrenching thrills. More like community service.
"So uh... when do I go?"
"Now"
Gamina started to vanish, everything was vanishing. She felt as if she herself was not there, yet she felt jerked about.
"This is probably what a tesseract would feel like," she murmured with no mouth.
Then she felt wind on her cheeks. She had cheeks. She saw sunlight. She had eyes. She saw the ground... And she was plummeting for it.
"Weeeeeeeeeeee..." Wham! She hit mud and bushes and oddly escaped with nary a scratch, "Let's go again..." She gargled dizzily, "Ain't no high-tech world that's certain... Whoo-hoo-oo! I don't care for that mecha stuff anyway."
She cast her eyes across a dusty yet green landscape. Trees blanketed a little way to the east, far off she could see a broken building that had at one time had sliding wooden doors but it was terribly run down now, parts of it looked like it had been taken away for a better purpose.
Joshy turned around and saw just yards ahead of her a village, it wasn't too impressive, yet it had it's own charm
"Looks like I'm in another dimension of Japan or something. I was expecting office work... Unless... Nah, Gamina don't make mistakes!" She shrugged off a thought, and carelessly sauntered off into the village. Maybe she'd find a fellow associate.
One thing struck her oddly. After walking five minutes into the village she noticed all sorts of traditional looking things; people in Kimonos, Hakamas, and Ando-bakamas, there was not one T-shirt.
People were staring at her.
"Wonder if I'm the only chick wearin' pants," She mused not considering that it was probably the bright orange and yellow Hawaiian shirt they were staring at. She was about to talk to herself again, when a chorus of aggravated and terrified shrieks. Something like...
"BWAAAHH!"
"GET BACK HERE YOU SNOT NOSE THIEF!"
Joshy erected her head (much like a cat) watching as a wildly frightened blur blazed by her. She thought it wise to look to where the blurs threat was being proclaimed and witnessed a large dark haired man barreling down the street like a mad bull. People stepped out of the way to prevent death by flattening.. But not Joshy, she dashed, and ducked in front of the near drooling brute, sending him careening down the path, mouth full of dust.
"Now why would he come compliantly if ya look like ya wanna eat him.. Raah!" She gave her best imitation of a rabid wolverine.
The large shopkeeper rose from the dust like a stage play demon, coming up out of a trap door.
"Did I offend?" Joshy laughed. Due to her common confrontation with people bigger than her in a ludicrously enraged state, this imposing figure did not faze her. The boy who seemed to be only six or seven years old, watched wide eyed (or normal eyed, one really couldn't tell since his eyes were quite wide already giving the effect that he was surprised all the time)
"I assume you are a merchant and he is a thief." She said nymphishly.
He snorted an angry "yes"
"Well you can't be a very good one barreling after a little boy, leaving your shop... Unattended."
The mans face turned quite pale, his flailing rage melting into a slightly fevered irritation and a more noticeable panic as he ran back from where he came from several people were snickering as Joshy grinned widely.
"Muscle heads are so easy." She placed her hands on her hips and tossed her head back over her shoulder, yelling conspicuously back, "HEY BABOON!" The boy sauntered up to her trying to retain some composure.
"Good," He grinned, "But it lacked style."
Joshy snorted laughs out her nose.
"Yeah sure! I'll try to critic my technic to the point of BWAAHHHAHAHA!" She guffawed. the boy glared deathishly and beamed read. "Relax kido!" she said ruffling the boy's unusual dusty hair (Wiping a massive amount of dirt on her pants afterward). The boy laughed as she poked his stomach.
"Hey!" He gasped, "Lay off!"
"So whacha take." She started to walk the kid followed along behind her.
"I was going to take some bread before meeting my friends but the monkey man caught me," she heard his stomach whine. So she dug in her massive pockets on her baggy caprices (A size or two too big) and pulled out a bar in shining wrapping.
"I knew I left that there!" She unwrapped the granola bar and shoved it into the boy's hands
"What do I do with this?"
"Put it into your word hole and chew... Shnikies I must be pretty far in the past of this world."
"Huh?" He garbled with full mouth.
"Never mind"
"You wanna meet my friends with me?" the boy invited, swallowing an amount of food that seemed humanly impossible.
Joshy was just staring at him she, unfortunately, had the attention span of a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
"What?"He yelled. Joshy snorted with laughs again.
"I was just letting my mind wander, risky business, and it was wondering, If you don't know about a granola bar, then hair dye hasn't probably not been introduced yet, judging also by my surroundings (insert blathering nonsense here)... Anywho... Your hair's green!" She was laughing almost to the point of her complexion showing a color other than a vampire pail.
"So! Your eyes are two different colors! And your cloths are strange!" He blurted back. Joshy sniffed and wiped her eye still giggling.
"Touche my friend."
"Tuu'what?"
"Never mind"
They were back out of town by now and approaching three other undicernable figures wrestling in the grass.
They got closer to the figures and Joshy found they were boys of slightly different ages.
A violet haired boy of nine or ten years of age had an indigo haired boy of eight or nine in a head lock. The indigo haired boy had his hand to the head of another boy around six or seven years, or close to the same age as the boy with Joshy, his face was in the dirt and he sputtered and his limbs flailed trying to scrambled his way up, but to no avail.
"Hey!" The green haired boy yelled, "knock it off you baka shonen!" we have a visitor!"
"Quit Bossin'us around you pest!" The violet haired boy growled
"Ooo! Is this a fellow outlaw?" The Indigo haired boy teased. The green haired urchin blushed with anger, but Joshy casually walked over puckishly behind the indigo haired boy grinning demonically, she grabbed the back of his hakama and yanked upwards.
"Ladies and gentlemen! Japans first wedgie... At least as far as I know." She announced the red haired kid who was being muffled before shot up and gasped for hair, only to be tackled the blue eyed, violet haired boy.
"Guys this is... Who are you?"
"Joshien Plumber!" Just call me Joshy!"
"Okay Joshi san. I'm Sekmet this is Dais" He said pointing to the violet haired boy, "That's Anubis," He pointed to the red head struggling th get out of Dais's arms. "And the kid hanging from his pants is Cale."
he wasn't hanging for long.
Joshy dropped the boy flat on his face (winding him) and remained motionless and wide eyed. The boys stopped their wrestling and watched for movement. Finally, Anubis pocked her shin, "Is she dead?"
"You can't die and stay standing, baka!" The exasperated Cale gasped with new found breath.
"KYYAAAHH!"
"AH!"
Joshy spontaneously blurted and rapidly shifted into a nettled position.
"Forget where I am! When the heck am I!" She flopped backward and sighed staring up at into the sky "Gamina made a big mistake." The boys stood over her head and multi colored hair tickled her face.
"Are... you okay?" Dais asked.
"Oh yeah, Ducky! I'm just surrounded by chibi masho and am right now questioning my sanity but I'm just peachy!" She mumbled and ranted all this as she sat up, and they didn't understand most of it. She stared at Dais, she had to make sure.
"What..."
"She does that a lot," Sekhmet said.
"Go like this," Joshy covered her left eye. Dais copied her.
"Is this a game or something?"
"Yup, you're him... and here I was thinking that at least one of you at one time may have had a normal hair color..."
She double checked looking strait into Sekhmet's face, "No doubt... huh.. You still have eyebrows. heh! From all that time he spent around chemicals I'm surprised he still had hair..."
"Huh?" All four boys were confused.
Joshy grinned, but not manically or obnoxiously this time, it was more of a reflective grin.
"Well... I got what I wanted, and adventure flung upon me accidentally and once more... it's with four of my favorite characters from my favorite show. Whoo-hoo-oo! A chance to be a kid again!" Joshy was thinking most of this all excepting the whoo-hoo-oo and all after that.
"Are you okay?" Anubis asked.
"Right as rain!"
"Okay..." Anubis said bewildered, "you want to play with us?"
Joshy grinned and giggled... this was too cute!
"You bet!" she said punching to the sky.
With that the boys tackled her.
