Rose: This is a bit of a depressing note, but the end of the fic is nearing.
Horo: Gasp! How could it be?
Ren: Because we're nearing the end in the rough draft.
Rose: Sue Death Toll Count: 34. There's also a hint of Kingdom Hearts here-twice. If you spot them first, you get virtual cookies!
Horo: Rose-Sempai does not own Shaman King. However, she does own a few pictures of Sora from Kingdom Hearts.
Ren: Why the sudden interest? What happened to me?
Rose: Good question. Sudden spell of wanting to read Kingdom Hearts Mary Sue bashing fics. ON WITH LE FIC!
The small group started walking to the Crossed Incorporation when they bumped into a girl with short, dirty blonde hair and green eyes.
"Yo, Tobi! What's up?" Rekkord raised his hand in greeting.
The girl (Tobi) smiled. "The bounty on the head of Tenshi Sazano Lila Autumn GlitterBlossom. A bunch of fans are complaining that she's messing up the fandom, and there's a price of..." She held out a piece of paper to everyone. Chocolove took it, and everyone gathered around to see.
"TH-THAT'S A LOT OF ZEROES!" Could be heard echoing everywhere in Crossed City.
Tobi nodded. "Some people are even sending out their own Sues to stop her. That means there will be a sudden influx of Sues in the Shaman King world, not to mention mixed with the usual flow. She's on her way over right now, I just checked. Rekkord, I suggest you get your butt in gear and pass Tenshi's trial, pronto." She narrowed her eyes.
Rekkord patted her on the head. "Hey, don't worry, Tobi. I got it all under control."
Tobi blushed. "W-well, keep it under control! I'll see you later." She walked briskly past the group to the Branch HQ Building.
Rekkord blushed, too. Enos smiled. We're in the same boat now.
"Ooh, shiny." Horo held his finger out to a small computer on a desk.
Ren slapped his hand away. "Don't touch!" They were all inside the Crossed Incorporation building. Rekkord and Enos were clearing up some last-minute procedures with the front desk people. Chocolove was messing around with his reflection in the glass walls. Lyserg was standing over by the front desk, listening to everything that Rekkord and Enos were saying. Yoh was dozing by the front door, Hao nudging him awake every now and then.
"Okay guys, we're in the clear." Rekkord said, coming into the center of the room. "Everyone gather around." The group clustered together to listen to his mini-speech.
"We're going into a special room where she can't see us, but we can see her." Rekkord explained.
"It's the Security Room." Said Enos bluntly. "We'll be able to talk to her, but she can't get at you guys. Please don't screw around with any of the equipment, you could break it. Any questions?"
There was silence from the group. "Okay, then we're all set. Just follow us and try not to get lost." Rekkord said.
Seated in the Security Room, Lyserg kept his eyes glued on the screen.
"Lyserg? Hellooo?" Rekkord waved a hand in Lyserg's face.
"Huh?" The greenette snapped out of it. "Oh, sorry. What?"
Rekkord sighed. "Is everything okay? You looked kind of...lost there."
Lyserg nodded. "Yeah, I'm okay. I'm just excited. This'll be my first Mary Sue trial."
Horo joined the others after getting some water. "When's the trial gonna start? I'm hungry."
"In a moment, keep your shirt on." Said Hao.
"You need to learn that." Lyserg replied to Hao.
"Touche." Was the pyros' reply. He played with a flame on the end of his fingers.
"Guys, guys. Shh. She's coming." Chocolove pointed at the screen and everyone was quiet as Tenshi began to approach the elevator. Someone had taped a piece of paper that read: "bishies here" on the door.
"Come on, guys! She's not that stupid!" Hissed Horo.
Ren raised an eyebrow. "How stupid is she, then?"
Enos held his hand up to silence them as Tenshi pressed a button on the elevator and bounced inside, a trail of sparkles and petals following her.
"And here we go." Rekkord brought up a stack of papers and switched to the elevator camera.
Tenshi was happily humming in the elevator when a speaker above her whined. She whirled around. "Who's there?"
Rekkord cleared his throat. "Tenshi Sazano Lila Autumn GlitterBlossom, you are under arrest for disrupting the Shaman King universe and harassing the characters there."
She gasped. "But how could that be? I'm too perfect to be arrested!"
"And that's the problem. You don't have any flaws, and flaws are what make a person truly perfect. Sure, some of us aren't perfect. Most people out there aren't. But that's what makes us human. So what does that make you? A monster." Enos replied.
"You've been reading a lot, haven't you?" Whispered Rekkord, moving his mike away so Tenshi couldn't hear them.
"Maybe." Was the smart-aleck reply.
"Tenshi." The Mary Sue looked up from filing her nails at the camera. "Yes?"
"There is still a chance that we find you innocent. If you be patient as we pass your trial, we'll see what we can do." Rekkord took a file out of a blue backpack that no one saw him bring in. Enos pressed a button and the elevator started going up.
"Evidence one: First appearance. You said that your parents had died when you were a baby, left you with a large amount of spirits to control, and...that's it." Rekkord blinked. Honestly, I was exepecting more of an angst bucket, cry-your-eyes-out-past.
Tenshi rolled her eyes. "Whatever."
"You go on to explain the future as it would be if you controlled it. Only Hao can see the future with Reishi, and you do not have Reishi. Besides, where does your romance with any of the characters fall into the original story line? At least some fanfictions keep to the story line a little bit." Enos explained, reading what he could over Rekkord's shoulder.
"At the end of your life story, you say that you will be overcome with guilt at cheating on Ren with Lyserg and throw yourself into the ocean and die, making everyone sad. First, Lyserg would never fall in love with someone who loves Hao. All fans know that." Rekkord said, shifting the papers.
"So then why are there so many LysergxHao fanfics?" Tenshi half screamed, half whispered as the elevator got off the lobby and arrived at floor one.
Lyserg blushed bright red, making himself look like a Christmas tree. Hao paled.
"Those are the creations of the imagination." Enos drawled, ignoring his companions reactions. "That could never happen in the real story line, thus further tearing the fanfic away from the actual story line. And second, saying that you would throw yourself in the ocean and die contradicts what happens next: Ren stabs you in the stomach with his Kwan Dao. You don't die, and there's no blood."
"There's no scar, either! Want to see?" Tenshi reached for the hem of her shirt.
"Ack! No!" Screamed Enos, bolting away from the screen. Ren spit out his water, and Yoh fell backwards.
"Uhhh...moving right along." Rekkord was pale as he flipped through the pages of the report. "Evidence two: Second appearance. Annoying Ren to no end." The elevator climbed to the second floor.
The rest of the trial went something along the lines of this: Rekkord stated some evidence with Enos pitching in, and Tenshi would retaliate.
Finally, Rekkord tapped the microphone, making everyone in the security room wake up or jump at the sudden whine.
"Based on the evidence, we at the Mary Sue Hunters Branch HQ have decided that you, Tenshi Sazano Lila Autumn GlitterBlossom..."
Everyone was silent. You could've heard a pin drop. No one was breathing. No one was moving.
Until Hao spoke up. "Oh, come on, Rekkord! Just get to the verdict already!"
Rekkord frowned. "Gimme a break! My love of the dramatic pause restricts me from continuing!"
Hao sat down with a huff. "Well then, I need to learn to love the dramatic pause."
Rekkord sighed. "The Hunters have decided that you are guilty of Mary Sue activities, and this trial is over. A Hunter will be waiting for you at the top floor."
Tenshi growled prettily. "No! This isn't happening! This can't be...I DEMAND you let me go!"
Enos smirked. "No can do, missy. Like he said, the elevator will stop at the top floor, open up, and there will be a Hunter waiting for you."
Tenshi whipped out her fans. If I can get out of here, I can flee to another world. Kingdom Hearts sounds nice. I can flood the Shaman King world with so many Sues that they'll have to focus there instead of on me! It's the perfect plan. Well, what did I expect? I'm the perfect girl, thank-you very much.
Enos was getting worried. Tenshi was mad, and when a Sue gets mad...it ain't pretty, let me tell you.
"Why doesn't anyone love me?" She screamed. "No one trusts me!"
Rekkord noticed the signs, too. "Fingers in your ears, everyone!" He pressed his hands over his ears as Tenshi began to change. Her hair became shorter, cut messily and greasy. It turned dark and straggly. Her eyes went from dazzling purple to a muddy greenish-brown. Her clothes started changing colors until they clashed. Her face went from delicate and finely tanned to an uneven tan and greasy. The two fans in her hands had turned into two bloody axes.
She was no longer a Mary Sue. She was a Monster Sue.
With a roar, she charged at the camera and slashed it, opening a teleportation portal from the elevator to the teleport pods.
Shuddering, Enos pulled out his pager and pressed a button. "Hey, Tobi? It's me. Tenshi's become a Monster Sue, and she's off to do something evil. Can you tell Miss Sori that we'll be at the HQ later? Thanks." He hung up and turned to the group. "Guys, this is the final battle. Tenshi's gone off to the teleport pods to flood your world with Mary Sues so she can escape to another world. We'll need your help for this. Are you in?"
Ren nodded. "I'm in. It's time for my revenge against that annoying brat."
Hao nodded. "Me too. I never back away from a good fight."
Lyserg stepped in. "Of course."
Horo scratched his head. "I don't get it. How did you figure out her plans?"
Enos shrugged. "It's what most Sues do when they're escaping trial. Remember Kiri? She's originally from the Kingdom Hearts world."
Rekkord picked up his sword. "But we got this one in the bag. Let's go, guys!"
"Right!"
Rose: (yawns) I'm tired...
Ren: Good for you.
Horo: We only have about...(counts on rough draft) four more chapters, guys!
Rose: So get those reviews in...
Horo: And have a nice day!
Ren: HAVE A NICE DAY?!
