Author Fighters: Anti-TL's Wrath
Chapter 14: When an Author's Still Here
I do not own the song, Johnny Rzeznik and Disney's Treasure Planet do. I think that part of this song describes the friendship between me and Airnaruto. Nothing yaoi between me and the guy.
Drake glanced around at the new recruited Darksides and pointed to them in turn as he shouted.
"Sylar! BlackCat! Drago!" he shouted "Find the Author Fighters and do your best to stall them!"
Sylar, a woman hidden in the shadows, and a dragon man stood up.
"On it, Drake." replied the dragon man.
The three then vanished into thin air.

DM, Airnaruto, D-Dude, TL, Looney, Hikari, Ranger, X, Ross, TSS, and Nukid were in the Gummi Ship. X Prodigy glanced at TL before asking "Any ideas where this UFO Blade is?"
"It's a LOST Fictronian weapon, X." TL pointed out "Things don't become lost if everyone knows where they are."
"Okay," Hikari said before asking "Does anyone know where it was last spotted?"
"Well..." TL mumbled, putting his finger on different worlds "Its previous owner last used it in Dimmsdale. Maybe that'll be a hint."
"And Looney's a good friend of Timmy's. He also knows about Cosmo and Wanda." D-Dude pointed out.
"Wouldn't that mean he'd lose 'em?" Airnaruto asked.
"Yeah, but there are two loopholes--" D-Dude pointed out, before reciting "ONE, Fictronians are good secret-keepers, otherwise the Imagination River would've had bits taken from it WAY before Drake came along. And TWO, Da Rules don't apply to beings outside of the world Dimmsdale occupies."
"So, this lizard really DOES have a general knowledge of all dimensions." Nukid said.
"Y'know, the deal with calling me a lizard gets old...REAL fast." D-Dude growled.
"I just can't wait to see my buddy!" Looney said, excitedly, and out of pure randomness.
"Well, team, let's just get a good rest for now." DM pointed out "If Drake knows what we're up to, we've gotta be ready for battle."

DM walked out of his room and heard a squeak of a voice say "S-Sempai!" He glanced over to see Hikari. He smiled at the sight of his girlfriend.
"Hey, Hime." he said.
"What're you doing up this late?" Hikari asked.
"Couldn't sleep." was DM's reply.
"Me neither." said Hikari, glancing into his eyes.
The two then seemed to be getting closer.

TL was on his bed, looking through his window to see DM and Hikari kissing. He closed the hatch and growled.
"Why does everyone but ME have someone to share feelings with?" TL asked of no one in particular. Sure, D-Dude and Looney didn't complain about it, but TL was sure that D-Dude had a girl back on Fictor, and Looney was too young to care.
Even most of his Summons had girlfriends (all of them were guys, seeing as it was the Hero scroll, but there was a Heroine scroll). (A/N: These are based on my opinions. So...no offense). Sora had Kairi. Naruto had Sakura. Spider-man had Mary Jane. Knuckles had Rouge. Link had Zelda. Cloud had Tifa. Even Rattrap had Botanica. One of the few who didn't was Draco...though, the main factor was that, in the old dragon's world, he was the last of his kind.
He flung himself onto his bed and looked at the ceiling. (A/N: Nobody's singing this. It's like the new Disney movies.)
I am a question to the world
Not an answer to be heard
Or a moment that's held in your arms
He growled in frustration as he remembered something else--Airnaruto. The airbending ninja had hardly left him alone all day, but he didn't know what Airnaruto saw in FTL and wanted to keep TL from becoming that: a person with a heart of stone and a will to kill.
And what do you think you'd ever say
I won't listen anyway
You don't know me
And I'll never be what you want me to be
Time skip to the next morning, Airnaruto was sparring with TL. The hedgehog blocked a blow of oncoming air, but when he recovered, Airnaruto swung a kick into his face, sending him, careening, to the floor.
And what do you think you'd understand
I'm a boy--No, I'm a man
You can't take me and throw me away
Airnaruto held out a hand to the Fictronian hedgehog, but the latter slapped the hand aside and growled before staggering up and walking away.
And how can you learn what's never shown
Yeah you stand here on your own
They don't know me
'Cause I'm not here
Time skip to that night in TL's room. The hedgehog glanced up to the stars and appeared to scream to them. It was out of sadness, not rage. He remembered the loss of his parents and that he was the one who killed them. Several tears fell down the side of his cheek.
And I want a moment to be real
Wanna touch things I don't feel
Wanna hold on and feel I belong
And how can the world want me to change
They're the ones that stay same
They don't know me
Cause I'm not here
Later, the two were in the same position they were in the previous morning--TL on the ground and Airnaruto holding out a hand to help him up. Only this time, TL grinned and accepted the hand. Airnaruto pulled the Fictronian Hedgehog to his feet.
And you see the things they never see
(A/N: More from Airnaruto than from me) All you wanted I could be
Now you know me and I'm not afraid
TL glanced at a picture of himself and the rest of the Author Fighters--he had his right arm slung around D-Dude's neck and was giving Airnaruto bunny-ears with his left with a broad grin on his face.
And I wanna tell you who I am
Can you help me be a man
They can't break me
As long as I know who I am
The two were at a world where they stopped in order to get supplies. TL made several hand-signs and summoned a large dragon called Draco (Dragonheart). TL smiled before kicking himself onto Draco's back and the dragon took off.
And I want a moment to be real
Wanna touch things I don't feel
Wanna hold on and feel I belong
And how can the world want me to change
They're the ones that stay the same
They can't see me
But I'm still here
TL closed his eyes and had a flashback to when he was living in Fictor. A younger version of him, only minus the gloves, was walking through the kitchen to a woman with green hair, who could have been his mother. Suddenly, blue flames and red electricity appeared on his arms. He looked afraid and tried waving them off to no avail. A much younger version of Lunatic, who couldn't have been older than three, began reaching out to TL, giggling and not realizing how serious this situation was. A man with wild, red hair who looked like their father walked in with a younger version of Dimensiondude. TL's flames and electricity began licking his arms and he clenched his fists and shut his eyes. They then sprung open, glowing purple. The energy then burst out of him in a purple explosion.
They can't tell me who to be
'Cause I'm not what they see
Yeah, the world is still sleepin'
While I keep on dreamin' for me
And their words are just whispers and lies
That I'll never believe
Return to the present. TL glanced over to see Airnaruto, riding on Sting, his summon scorpion, waved his hand.
"Thought you'd like some company!" shouted the author ninja.
TL smiled at the sight of one of his best friends on Earth (literally) and replied "I did!" TL then stood up on Draco and began riding him like a surfboard.
"Rrrggghhh." growled Draco "I hate it when he does that..."
And I want a moment to be real
Wanna touch things I don't feel
Wanna hold on and feel I belong
And how can they say I'll never change
They're the ones that stay the same
I'm the one now
'Cause I'm still here
TL grinned. Although he didn't have a girlfriend yet he still had someone important--a friend who accepted him for what he was, who he could count on, and could love like he did his brothers.
I'm the one
'Cause I'm still here
I'm still here
I'm still here
As if he knew that this song was playing, TL lip-synched to the last three words as he flew into the sunset on Draco and Airnaruto rode on Sting.
I'm still here.
Dimensiondude wandered over and asked "Did a musical number just end?"

TL swung himself off Draco and Airnaruto jumped off Sting.
"Woah!" TL exclaimed "Haven't had a fly that good since..." TL thought for a while before shrugging "I don't remember."
"Glad to hear it." Airnaruto said, casually, but then shouted "Come here, you!" he grabbed TL's head and began giving him a Dutch-rub.
"Our summoners are a bit odd, don't you think?" Draco asked Sting in his Sean Connery voice.
"Somewhat." replied the giant scorpion. The two then vanished in puffs of smoke.
"Get offa me, jerk!" TL shouted, playfully (A/N: The sorta thing me and my brothers get into all the time).
Airnaruto obliged and let the hedgehog go. TL grinned, the sort of look he got when he'd summon Naruto, and then sprung at Airnaruto. The two rolled around, exchanging playful rabbit punches. TSS then walked in and commanded "You two, stop goofing around." Shadow Syndicate then explained "We're close to Dimmsdale now."
The two kicked themselves up and walked out with The Shadow Syndicate.

FTL was sitting on the outskirts of a city, clicking a cigarette lighter and lighting one in his mouth. Someone then walked over and said "You DO know that those are hazardous to health, right?"
FTL growled, flicked the smoke away and glowered at the person who was approaching--the Future Airnaruto.
"I didn't ask you to come along, remember?" FTL asked.
"C'mon, Soul, loosen up a bit." Airnaruto pointed out "And I came because, knowing you, you'll end up killing something important before too long. I'm here to supervise."
"I got out of the phase of having someone baby-sit me a LONG time ago." the Future Fictronian Hedgehog growled, darkly.
"Apparently not." Airnaruto said before asking "And could you lose the attitude? It ill becomes you (A/N: Something I say to D-Dude when he seems to be getting a bit rude)."
FTL looked at the sky and saw a Gummi Ship.
"They're here already."
Ah, brotherly love. Nothin' quite like it.
Anyway, they arrived at the place where the UFO was last used. What new hardships await the Author Fighters now that Drake's on their trail? Find out in the next action-packed installment of Anti-TL's Wrath!
