Chapter 1: And I call them…
No matter what time it was, and even though it was Las Vegas, Amy knew that she was beyond late getting home. Racing as fast as her legs could go, she mentally berated herself for getting immersed in the new manga that had just come in that day. Reaching the door to her house, Amy took in one great gulp of air, shouting, "I'm home!" as she opened the door.
When no sound came back to her as she pulled off her running shoes and jacket, she assumed her parents were out. Keeping up with the fast pace she had kept to get home, she blew into the kitchen to reheat some leftovers so she could finish that and the piddling amount of homework her teachers had given her.
Gobbling her food, she headed to her room to work, however, the moment she entered, she noticed her precious computer was turned on. She clearly remembered turning it off before school. Grumbling about wasted power, she moved to turn it off. Amy, while flipping her long, dark hair over her shoulder, noticed the screen was fuzzy like her TV screen when she popped in a video on the wrong channel.
"Crap. Did I get a virus?" she muttered, temporarily forgetting her schoolwork. Clicking on her virus protection program, she sat down to see what problems had occurred.
She didn't sit for long. A hole seemingly appeared on the screen, and with the suction of a vacuum cleaner, she disappeared into her computer. Down a twisting tunnel filled with floating JPEG's HTML's and the occasional question mark, all she could do was blink and hold down both the fear of what was going on, and the excitement. This was too much like an anime, and she hoped that this dream lasted a looooong time.
Unfortunately, it hit her that this wasn't a dream… right around the time she hit a solid ground. When her back felt like she had broken it, and the breath was forced out of her, she knew that dreams did NOT hurt… and that she would have defiantly made a really graceful pose for a landing, instead of an ungainly heap on her back.
Ignoring the pain, she sat up once she could breathe again. She was still surrounded by the floating items. She felt kinda gypped that she had fallen and hurt herself when there was no clear floor underneath her. Deciding that looking down made her woozy, she was about to get up and search around when another hole appeared, and another girl, much like herself, felt out… landing on her face.
"Dammit!" was the echoing cry.
Cautiously walking up to the teenager that was nursing a pained face, she got a good look at her. She was kind of short for her age, with short wavy hair. Tomboyish by normal standards with her black jeans and oversized sweatshirt.
"Ummm… hi?" Amy asked smartly.
The other girls' blue eyes looked up from her position on the "ground" taking her in quickly before nodding and going back to swearing colorfully. Amy sweatdropped, wondering if the girl was sane, before she paused. She raised a hand up to her head and pulled down… an oversized bead of sweat that she could physically hold.
"Holy crap!" she screamed before hurling the offending object as far as she could.
"Eh? What's wrong… no da?" the other girl blinked semi-innocently. Again, Amy sweatdropped before glaring at the bead of sweat and hurling it off into cyberspace.
"That's what's wrong! I sweatdropped! For real!!"
"Oh. Okay… no da."
Amy could feel the vein pulsing on her head as she smacked the girl over the head… really hard.
"You don't look Japanese, so why don't you say 'ya know' like a real American otaku?"
The other girl glared standing up, and oh my god there was an anime shaped lump on her head.
"I'll have you know I am Ca-na-dien! So we get overly crappy dubs, so I watch all anime off comp-sama, AND only the Japanese version."
The girl started a rant about ForKids and other dubbers ending the whole rant with a hurried "AndmynameisasecretbutyoucancallmeKeikowhatsyourname?" before collapsing due to lack of air. Waiting for Keiko to revive, she had understood that much, Amy pondered about the sweatdrops and practiced various forms of anime-type occurrences, like face vaulting (it really was painful) jumping obscenely high, and turning chibi.
Finally, the other girl woke up, and she could introduce herself.
"Names Amy. And before you ask I have no clue where we are."
Keiko's pout was interrupted by a "There you two are! Why couldn't you have appeared where I wanted you to?!?"
Both turned around.
And both turned chibi running around in many directions screaming "MONSTER!!!".
One mallet to each head had both girls crying anime-style on the ground in front of the "monster"
"Brats. My name is Taiitsu-kun an"-
"Taiitsu-kun?!?!" Keiko interrupted, "Like, Fushigi Yuugi Taiitsu-kun?!?!"
"So that's what they call my world. Interesting. Anyways, I have called you here to ask a favor of you two. You see, people from your world, which you call 'otaku' have suddenly started to seep through to various parallel universes, which you generally call 'anime' and are causing havoc. We need you two to go to those worlds and remove those otakus back to your own. Great catastrophes could insue if anything changes the course of time in any world."
Both girls exchanged glances, and in one second, knew that their destinies, so like each other, were coming to fruition. Though they had never met before, they knew they would fight great battles together, and had also fought separate ones in the past against Otakus' and Mary-Sues (and the random Marty-Sam) on the internet. Both felt a great companionship, and with determination on their faces, at the exact same second, agreed to help.
"Very well. Nyan Nyans, heal these two girls so I may prepare them for what they will face."
Multi-colored bubbles appeared and popped, revealing cute aqua-haired young girls.
"Nyan Nyan! Cure cure! Fix fix! Heal heal!" and in seconds, all the bruises and pains from where they had landed eased and disappeared.
Taiitsu-kun began chanting, and sparkles danced in the air, converging on the two. Amy looked down at her clothes and watched as each sparkle touched them, it would change, ending with her wearing loose black pants, a white shirt with 'dreamer' kanji on the front, a purple cape, violet finger-less gloves, black boots, a staff with an aquamarine crystal on top, and blue tinted sunglasses over her eyes.
She looked at Keiko and was amazed to see her in Magic Knight Rayearth style armor with a crimson cape, black army boots with black pants tucked into. A gun was holstered at her side; while in her right hand was a large mallet in a swirling mix of gold and crimson. She too had blue tinted sunglasses, but on her head was a hair-band with black angel wings on the sides.
"There. You are almost ready. Keiko, I have given you the mallet that will allow you to open portals to other worlds, and will also allow you to knock out any otaku who become too hard to handle. Amy, I have given you control over the elements, and a comet that you may call upon when you need it." Taiitsu-kun told them serenely.
The first thing Keiko did was turn to Amy and said, "Let's make up cool nicknames to go with our sweet, sweet powers. I wanna be Terminatress!"
Amy agreed completely, "Okay… I'll be… Animeria!"
Taiitsu-kun had been waiting patiently for them to finish their mindless chatter before she opened a portal. "Now go, and good luck."
Both jumped happily through the portal.
