Lily: You take way too long.
Me: So?
Lily: It's been a couple days already! STOP WATCHING SHUGO CHARA AND START WRITING!!
Me: Well, I'm working right now, right? Since I'm typing this?
Lily: You're typing a meaningless conversation at this exact moment.
Me:... Well, read and enjoy.
Lily: And remember, this person, calling herself 'Me', who is trying to decide on what name she wants you people to call her, does not own MAR in any way. And she wants to make adjustments to the last chapter because all the little star thingies disappeared, but she decided not to. And she's sad because no one has visited her story for the past few days. Make her happy, or else she'll probably end up torturing me...
Even as the building shook, there was no trace of panic. Everyone simply began to file out of side caves as warriors rushed out the front to confront the monster. However, as the warriors saw exactly how large the monster was, they skittered away, dismayed. It was at least as twice as tall as the fortress, and as Ginta and the crew rushed outside, it let out a bellow so awe- and fright-inspiring that the warriors scrambled away in terror. Ginta yelled in joy, shouting "OMG it's a giant gorilla!" and Nanashi sighed, "Again with the giant gorillas...". Alviss humphed and said, "It's not even as tall as my 13 Totem Poles. Pathetic." And Andrew stared, then reacted as any other 5 year old kid would (Despite being in a college-student age body), "Wow, Mom, look! A giant gorrilla!" Dorothy chuckled, "Ohohoho! A gorilla, eh? No match for the great Dorothy!" And Lily simply looked bored.
"Lemme take care of this!" Nanashi pulled out his ARM, Electric Eye, but was instantly snatched up by the gorrila, with his arms pinned to his sides and his sides (and his entire body) being squeezed and crushed. Dorothy cried out, alarmed, "I'll save you, Nanashi-kun!" and pulled out her Broom of Zephyrus. She was snatched up in the same way as Nanashi.
Ginta yelled in anger. "How dare you take my friends captive! I'll destroy you!!" and he picked up Babbo. The gorilla seemed to grimace, then he kicked Ginta into the side of the mountain. "Gintan!" Dorothy cried, but her arms were pinned to her sides, therefore preventing her from summoning any ARMs.
"It seems it has an aversion to ARMs..." Alviss noted. Andrew didn't reply. Instead, he ran to where Ginta was, and checked his pulse, which was moving the same as usual.
Lily didn't seem to care a whole lot. Emotionlessly, she walked up to it, then jumped up and kicked his knee, using her kick to propel herself away as his leg shot out. He fell, flailing his arms, and Nanashi and Dorothy were freed. "Electric Eye!" "Zephyrus Broom!" Both cries were heard simultaneously, and the gorrila had his head cut off as he was electrocuted. Instead of bleeding, though, he shattered, sort of. He turned into a mud statue and then globules of mud shot from his body everywhere, turning the area brown. In the end, only a single hair (a normal gorilla hair) remained. No one noticed, however, that a globule of mud rose up and covered the hair. It then flattened and looked normal, but the hair was gone.
After all that excitement, they simply walked back into the fortress, finished their food, and then scattered to their rooms to take a nap.
They awoke to the sound of banging. Everyone was asleep (it was 2 o'clock AM), but the main characters of this story awoke and went downstairs to investigate. Slowly, they tiptoed to the door. Nanashi whispered, "Weapon ARM, Griffin Lance!" and nodded to everyone else. Very quickly, they pushed open the door and Nanashi shoved the lance out, not thinking that it could be anyone on their side...
Jack cried out, "Wah!" and stumbled backwards just in time to avoid having his throat sliced.
"Hey!" a female voice yelled, and the Weapon ARM Ball Hammer crashed into Nanashi's face, sending him flying. "Don't threaten my boyfriend, you two-faced, lily-livered baka of a... Oh, it's just Nanashi."
"Ow..." Nanashi whined as he got up. "That hurt!"
"That's what you get for shoving your stupid lance in my boyfriend's face!" she retorted.
Ginta shouted in exuberance, "Jack, you have a girlfriend now?" Jack nodded triumphantly and happily.
"Shush, you'll wake up the whole fort, baka!" Dorothy chided.
"Gomen." Ginta looked ashamed for a moment, then immediately became happy again. "Jack's got a girlfriend!!" He yelled again. Dorothy sighed and palmed her forehead.
"Yup! ... Hey wait... Ginta, aren't you supposed to be in your own world right now?" Jack's face was thoughtful. Koyuki tried to explain what had happened while Ginta munched on some fruit.
"I am starved!" He announced. Then he stopped chewing as the wide double doors leading to the main dining room burst open. Alan stood proud and tall in the doorway, Gaira behind him. They then both collapsed, moaning in harmony, "Ohh my head!!"
Ginta sweatdropped, then shouted, "OSSAN!! JII-SAN!! I'M BACK!!" (Author's note: I'm not certain if that's how you would spell those two words, but it's all I can think of right now... they both mean old man, I'm pretty sure...)
Alan moaned, "Don't yell so loud, Gin- wait, am I hallucinating? Is that really you?" Suddenly, a cat walked in front of him and he screamed and cowered in fear.
"Yes, it's me!" Ginta grinned, then he chased the cat around, with Babbo in tow, because he felt like it.
Gaira half-listened and half groaned in agony. "This is the worst hangover I've had since we won the second-to last battle in the original War Games..." he muttered to himself.
"Let's train, Babbo!" Ginta proclaimed jubilantly. He paid no heed as Babbo sputtered, and he ignored the fact that it was only 2 o'clock. He ran up to Alan, and yelled, "Ossan, use the Training Gate!"
"Sure." He agreed, thinking that anything would be all right as long as it stopped Ginta's yelling. Then Lily said, "Open up a second one for me."
Alan looked confused. "Why don't you both go in the same training gate?" he asked.
"Because I don't want to be in the same training gate as a baka."
"Why did you just call me a baka?!" Ginta yelled, maddened.
"Because that's what you are, baka." Lily was expressionless.
"I will not tolerate an insult from you!" Ginta yelled, copying his mother.
"Good for you."
"Yes, it is good, isn't it?"
"... baka."
"Hey!" Ginta yelled. "I am NOT a baka! Babbo, Version 1, Hammer ARM!!"
He charged... and found his fist stopped.
The heavyweight hammer, driven by an amazing amount of force, had been stopped by a single finger. Lily held her hand out, but the only thing touching the round metal ball was a single one of her fingers. No magic, no ARMs, no tricks. Just a finger.
"What--?" Ginta was stunned for a moment, then he had no more time to be stunned as Lily flicked the metal ball and sent him flying.
"Wow..." Everyone oohed and aahed except for Ginta and Lily.
"Oww..." Ginta got up slowly. He glared at Lily, saying, "Why did you just do that?!"
"Because you attempted to attack me." Lily's composure was cool, calm, and collected. She didn't seem to care at all that Ginta was mad at her.
"Because you called me a baka!"
"That would be because that is what you are. There's no changing that."
Angered, Ginta called out, "Babbo, Version 2! Bubble Launcher!" He pointed the gun and started shooting.
Lily looked on calmly, and seemed to allow the bubbles to gather around her. After they exploded, though, she wasn't there.
"What... AGH!!" Ginta screamed as Lily appeared behind him and then elbowed him in the back. Hard. He fell over, breathing hard.
Emotionlessly, Lily strode to the buffet table, popped a grape in her mouth, chewed, swallowed, and jumped into one of the training gates that had just formed.
Ginta swore for a few moments, then went into his training gate. Jack, after a moment's hesitation, followed, with Pano right behind him.
Alan had figured out how to keep the training gate going while still being able to sleep, eat, and move around, so he just curled up and started snoring.
And everyone else just thought about what had happened.
Eventually, they went to their beds, one by one. And they slept for the rest of the day.
Me: Did it turn out good?
Lily: Mmhmm. I guess. It's up to the readers.
Me: True, true. Hey, I've decided completely. As soon as I get everything together and in working order, I am going to make you the main character! How's that? Since I want to have people know how you feel. I'm going to give you a really angsty past, too! -Smiles brightly
Lily: That's very... nice... of you.
Me: Yup! Anyways... Also, I'm going to be writing a Halloween fanfic. I'm working on it now, and I will put it up on the day before Halloween, probably. If you like my writing, then look out for it!
Lily: Mmhmm. Hey, which OC are you putting with Alviss? According to your pairings list.
Me: That's a secret!
Lily: Evil secret keeper!
Me: I know! -smiles
Lily: Don't forget, you need to tell 'Me' whether you want her to have Koyuki and Snow merged or not. She put a poll on her profile page, and you can leave a review. Don't mind about making her upset, she doesn't really care when she's insulted.
Me: It already happens at school. It's not like it'll make any difference if it happens on a website, too.
Lily: So I guess you're going to make me say bye.
Me: Yes.
Lily: Bye.
