Recap: Treasure Planet's Jim just can't catch a break. He is barred from seeing Silver in the medical ward and while he is wandering around minding his own business, he nearly gets killed by Silent Hill 2's Pyramid Head and Resident Evil 4's Dr. Salvador. Thankfully, Resident Evil's Leon keeps him out of trouble but even Leon can't help Jim when Yu Yu Hakusho's Kuwabara mishears Jim speaking to Yu Yu Hakusho's Yukina who is rushing a bloody, white sheet covered, body to the medical ward. Just when it seems Jim and Kuwabara are going to fight, they both catch sight of Yu Yu Hakusho's Yusuke. Instead of jumping into battle like he normally does, Yusuke is strangely silent and disappears into the crowd with Kuwabara chasing after him. What has happened to Yusuke and what other trouble can Jim get himself into?


Chapter 10:
Fanart And Rivalries OR In Which There is Girl Power

It was criminal how professional some fan art looked. More than once she had thought she was looking at actual art by the creators and not fan created pictures. Sailor Jupiter's face turned bright red and her eyes became as wide as Sailor Moon's tiara. Part of her screamed at her to look away before she got caught but the rest of her (that small part that confused her hand on the mouse) forced her to keep staring at the picture. Finally, she was able to tear herself away from the screen but she couldn't close the window yet. She continued to stare at the picture out of the corner of her eye. For a second, Jupiter considered sending a picture to her fellow boy crazy sailor scout. She hesitated. While fan art was not illegal, she doubted any one would be happy if they found out she was viewing it. Especially the character who she was drooling over unless he was one of those anime characters in which case Jupiter wanted nothing to do with him. Then again, he might not even be in the realm. He might still be back in his home. Doing his own thing, living his own life. Blissfully unaware of the horrors other so-called fictional characters were suffering. Still, he was hot.

Jupiter's blush of appreciation for the character's good looks quickly turned to a blush of shame as she heard the door behind her open. Light from the hallway spilled into the darkened room where the only light was the computer screen Jupiter was staring at. A second later the room was dark again as the door closed. Jupiter was about to close the page when she felt someone put their arm on top of her head and knock her tiara cockeyed. Only one person did that to her and the girl was just as boy crazy as Jupiter was.

"Hi Jup—Who's he?" the girl asked, her greeting turning to a breathless question as though the picture of the male character had stolen all her breath.

Jupiter felt the girl slide off her head to lean against the computer desk beside Jupiter. Out of the corner of her eye, Jupiter saw the girl's blue eyes were just as large as hers had been when the sailor scout had found the picture. The uniform the girl wore said her name was Irma and she was from a comic/novel series called W.I.T.C.H. What her uniform did not say was that the girl had the powers to control water among other things. Irma brushed her long brown hair from her face as they stared at the picture for a long second; fully appreciating the male's muscles that were barely covered by the towel he was wearing.

"Who is he?" Irma asked again, a bit more breath in her voice.

Part of Jupiter leapt at the excuse to stop looking at the picture while the other part whimpered as she scrolled down the page to find the information about the picture. The girls were silent as they read through the information.

"Darn it!" Irma muttered. "He has a love interest."

Jupiter couldn't help the snort that escaped her. "What? You were thinking of dating him? The guy probably is ten years older than you."

Irma smiled as she moved to sit on the computer desk. Like Jupiter, the girl was her transformed self who appeared far older and more 'talented' than her normal self. Fragile wings barely the size of Irma's shoulder's blades twitched on the girl's back highlighting the fact that Irma was a magical being when transformed. However, while Jupiter changed only a little from her normal self to her transformed self, Irma's still developing thirteen year old body changed to that of an adult goddess. The girl winked, showing that while her body had changed, her mind was the same.

"He doesn't need to know that."

Jupiter considered reminding the girl about how that never worked but she had the feeling it would be wasted. Instead they scrolled back up the page and stared at the tastefully is barely covered male character. Both were lost in her own thoughts and imaginings. Fictional though they may be, they were still teenaged girls at heart and that heart was longing for Mr. Right.

It was Irma who realized the world had suddenly darkened and red lights roamed the walls. There was no siren but the red rotating light on the ceiling was flashing. Irma tapped Jupiter on the shoulder and the girl glanced up. The red light traveled over her face making the emerald stone set in the middle of her golden tiara more like a black diamond.

Before either girl could form a word, the door burst open. Standing in the darkened hallway with flashing red lights was the "devil in Prada heels" as Irma loved to put it. Jupiter's eyes narrowed as she stared at the snob's face. Black hair that hung around the girl's shoulder unrestrained except for two barrettes at her temples and beady (although anime styled) purple eyes that matched the snob's obsessive need to be fashionable and make everyone miserable. No powers, Jupiter recalled but unfortunately, fighting was against the rules. Besides now wasn't the time. The whole prison was in lock down for some reason.

The girl took a step into the room and Jupiter was able to see the girl's uniform more clearly. She had modified her uniform to somehow cling to her form and was constantly changing her accessories in an attempt to make the outfit more fashionable. It was a feckless task. No matter what accessories the girl use, nothing could hide the large words on the uniform that proved she wasn't an anime character as her animated style suggested but rather a cartoon. However, Jupiter noticed the snob had polished the single black star on her shoulder to the point of glowing in the red light which declared her rank as a level-two officer of the FCPD.

The cartoon character's eyes drifted towards the computer screen as her mouth opened to shout orders. Irma was already diving for the mouse to close the window on the monitor so Jupiter remained in her chair and tried to act like a shield. In the dim light, there was no way the snob could see what they were looking at.

But did she suspect?

"Get your lazy buts into gear!" the cartoon was shouting in her loud and nasally voice. "We have an author making a run for it!"

"What? Scared to ruin your make up?" Jupiter replied. Irma was still behind her so Jupiter didn't dare move for fear that the computer had frozen on the image. It had happened before.

The snob gritted her teeth and took another step forward. "I am your leader! If I tell you to go, you go!"

Jupiter opened her mouth to reply but fell silent when another girl walked through the wall and then the computer and desk Jupiter was seated at. Although she had just walked through solid matter like she was a ghost, the girl had not become transparent or given any suggestion that she wasn't flesh and blood. She was about Irma's age with the same impish blue eyes. However, her brown hair was styled more like Jupiter's. It hung from a high pony tail but, due to her animated style, the hair that framed her face was thicker than Jupiter's. Her uniform said that she was from an animated cartoon called X-men Evolution and unlike the cartoon, she had two black stars on her uniform. Neither Jupiter nor Irma knew the girl's name as they were both new arrivals to the prison patrol but wasn't the time for introductions. The lights had stopped rotating so the room was filled with a red glow.

The new arrival shouted, "What are you guys' waiting for? We need to catch that author!"

Irma was now standing at Jupiter's side so the sailor scout obeyed the order. The black haired girl's face was in darkness as Jupiter and Irma passed her but Jupiter could feel the hatred follow her down the hallway towards the scene of the escape.

It didn't matter though. Jupiter could handle that snob any day of the week.

Unless she had seen the fan art.


A/N: There were too many boys in this. Time for some girl power… I just wish there were more girls with superpowers that aren't just copied off males (I'm looking at you DC and Marvel) or maybe I'm watching all the wrong shows. Also, sorry for the wait. As my profile states, I really have no time this summer for anything so I probably won't be writing much until the fall.

Thanks for reading!

Disclaimer: I do not own Sailor Moon, W.I.T.C.H, Totally Spies, or X-Men Evolution.

Sailor Moon (Sailor Jupiter) – A manga and anime series. If it isn't the first magic girl anime/manga to be created and brought to the Western world, it probably is one of the best well known. There are big differences between the English dub and the Japanese original so let me just say, I love the Dic (English) dub and that is the characters I use. Sailor Moon is a normal teenaged girl normally but she can turn into superhero and defender of the innocent against the Negaforce. Over the series, she finds the other members of her team (the sailor scouts). Jupiter is one of Sailor Moon's teammates and there isn't really more I can say since I haven't seen the series since I was young.

Totally Spies (Mandy) – A cartoon series. Sam, Alex, and Clover are typical teenaged girls. They have boy problems, bad hair days and problems buying matching accessories for their many fashionable outfits. They also just so happen to be spies who work to save the world. No one, not even their families, know they are spies although there have been a close call. The cartoon is split between scenes at the girls' school and the saving the world plot. Mandy is a classmate of the three girls and is the main antagonist during the school oriented parts of the episode. Admittedly, Mandy does have some nice moments but they are short and far between.

W.I.T.C.H. (Irma) – A comic book series, book series, cartoon. The title is created by taking the first letter of the five main girl's names. Will, Irma, Taranee, Cornelia, and Hay Lin are all normal girls who were chosen to be protects of the Veil. Four of the girls have a power that are related to one of the elements. In addition to that one power, they also have other powers which vary depending upon which source you use. I use the book series which is closest to the original comic book series. Irma has the power over water and has been known to misuse her powers occasionally but she is a good kid and loyal to her friends, the best of which is Hay Lin. Expect to see some trouble while she is in her transformed state.

X-men Evolution (Kitty) – A cartoon. Basically, X-men in high school. A few humans have a special gene which allows them to develop powers. The powers vary and depending on the individual, can be used for good or evil. This has, naturally, caused a bit of a problem in the world since you can never be sure if the mutant you are dealing with is hoping to coexist with humans or to rule over them. Kitty is part of the X-men, a team of mutants who want to coexist with humans. She has the power to walk through walls although she can't disappear and fly. A normal girl in every way except for her powers.
