Bishônen Warriors
Bishônen With Hats

The five Bishônen Warriors gathered in Lucky's meeting room. A
holographic image of Trix Rabbit's palace was projected just above the
table, and everyone was studying it. "The end is nearing," Lucky said. "And
soon, we're going to have to make our move and strike Trix Rabbit head on.
But between then and now, we have to make a plan of action."

"I say we just strike now with full force," Umakutsu suggested.

"That's suicide," Shinzô reprimanded. "Trix Rabbit not only has a
whole expendable army of Cheerio Knights, but he's got Snap, Crackle and Pop,
a Random Monster-of-the-Week Generator, and his own Evil Bishônen Force!
There's no way we can stand up to all of that."

"We need to give ourselves a tactical advantage by knocking out some,
if not all, of the things he has to defend himself with," Kurôbâ said.

"Well, we can't focus on the Cheerio Knights," Lucky said, "because
he can keep making those."

"Then maybe we can get the Evil Bishônen Force on our side," Hoshi
suggested.

"How?" Shinzô asked. "They've been brainwashed by Trix Rabbit's
propaganda, and just the fact that they enjoy the thought of killing us makes
them very unlikely candidates for allies."

"Then what about the Random Monster-of-the-Week Generator?" Aoi
asked. "Surely we can destroy it."

"No can do," Lucky said. "He's got it stashed away in his palace.
We managed to get in once, but that's no guarantee we can do it again. After
all, Trix Rabbit's defenses have been raised considerably since our first
strike."

"Then why don't we get Snap, Crackle and Pop to join us?" Shinzô
asked. "After all, we know for a fact that they don't like Trix Rabbit since
he's replaced them with the Evil Bishônen Force."

"A viable option," Umakutsu remarked, "but will it work?"

"We can't trust them," Kurôbâ said. "They've been working for Trix
Rabbit, and what's to say they just won't run back to him or stab us in the
back when the going gets tough?"

"Then what do we do?" Lucky asked.

Hoshi stood and placed his hand on the table. "Despite the futility
of the attempt, I say we storm Trix Rabbit's palace and just check out how
powerful these defenses are," he said.

"It's our only decent option at the moment," Shinzô said as he stood
and joined Hoshi. "It's suicide, but it's better than sitting around waiting
for an attack."

The other three bishônen stood and nodded. "Then let's go!" Aoi
said.

"It's time for a Bishônen Lucky Charms roll call! Hearts!"

"Stars!"

"Horseshoes!"

"Clovers!"

"And Blue Moons!"

There were five flashes of light, and the Bishônen Warriors jumped
out the nearby window with a cry of, "We're frosted Lucky Charms and we're
magically delicious!"


The Evil Bishônen Force bowed down before Trix Rabbit. "What is it this
time?" the rabbit demanded.

"We could not help but fail," Niji explained. "Stars received a
power upgrade from that leprechaun, and he changed into Shooting Stars."

"What of the others? Hearts? Horseshoes? Clovers? Blue Moons?"

"There were only three of them, sire," Akai said. "Hearts and Blue
Moons were nowhere to be found."

"Hmm... But did Shooting Stars actually attack you?"

"Well, not really..." Tsubo trailed off. "But he did make this huge
explosion that blew us back here."

"Were you hurt?"

"Not really," Akai said.

"Then why the hell didn't you go back to destroy them!?"

"We're sorry!" the three bishônen cried.

"No matter, as long as you're not hurt. Now, we need to make a new
battle strategy. With the Bishônen Warriors growing in power, we're going to
need some more power of our own."

"What can we do to help?" Pop asked.

"We'll do anything to destroy those Bishônen brats," Snap snapped.

"They've embarrassed us for the last time!" Crackle declared.

Trix Rabbit narrowed his eyes. "Then I wouldn't suppose they're the
ones who put those dresses on you, would they?" he asked.

"We assure you that these dresses are in no way connected to the
Bishônen Warriors," Snap said.

"Then where did they come from, and what are they for, hmm?"

Pop quickly replied, "We're not at liberty to say."

The Evil Bishônen Force started snickering. Suddenly, the palace
rocked, and everyone fell to the floor. "We're under attack!" Tsubo shouted.

"Not for long!" Trix Rabbit said. "Evil Bishônen Force, roll out!"

"Pots of Gold!"

"Rainbows!"

"And the Red Balloons!"

The three teens transformed into the Evil Bishônen Force and rushed
through the palace hallways to find the source of the disturbance. As they
searched, the walls exploded, and the Bishônen Warriors burst through. "You
can't win this time," Horseshoes said, "because we're gonna go all out!"

"Golden Munificence Surprise!" Pots of Gold shouted.

"Rainbow Light Purification!" Rainbows shouted.

"Balloon Grand Explosion!" Red Balloons shouted.

The entire eastern wing of the palace exploded as the three dark
powers combined into one blast, and the five Bishônen Warriors found
themselves plastered against the walls. "Wasn't such a good idea to
instigate them, was it?" Stars asked. "Jeez, Umakutsu, I never figured you
to be so reckless! Looks, like I'll have to take this into my own hands.
Shooting Stars!"

Hearts and Blue Moons turned into energy and swirled around Stars to
become his new armor and cape. "So that's where they went," Rainbows said.

Shooting Stars raised his mace and pointed it at them. "Prepare to
be destroyed!"

However, Snap, Crackle and Pop rushed up from behind Shooting Stars
and hit him over the head with their mallets simultaneously, knocking him
out. "Looks like you're out of luck," Red Balloons said.

"No, our luck is just warming up," Clovers said as he cracked his
knuckles. He held up a large hat pin and smirked. "Now it's time for my
power upgrade. Clover Hats!"

The hat pin flashed, and Kurôbâ was consumed by green light. His
outfit changed from armor into green vest, dress shirt, and a bowler hat
adorned by a four-leafed clover. He twirled the hat pin around like a baton,
and he pointed it at the enemy. "Clover Hat Pin!" he shouted.

A beam of energy shot from the new weapon and struck down Red
Balloons. Pots of Gold and Rainbows tried to strike, but Clover Hats easily
fended them off; and with a blast from his weapons, Clover Hats dispatched
them as well. Snap, Crackle and Pop ran off, not wanting any of what the
Evil Bishônen Force had gotten.

Clover Hats tipped his bowler at the fallen Evil Bishônen Force and
smirked. "Jolly good show, but like I said, our luck is just warming up.
We'll take our leave," he said.

"Why?" Shooting Stars asked. "After all, with these three out of the
way, what's keeping us from attack Trix Rabbit full force?"

Blue Moons pointed down the hall at a huge horde of monsters and
Cheerio Knights. "That's what," he said.

"Well, let's go!" Hearts shouted. "They who fight and run away, live
to fight another day!"

"Come on, get some original lines," Horseshoes said.

"Bite me."

"I bet you'd like that."

"I'm not gay!"

Everyone started laughing as they ran through the ruined remains of
the palace's east wing.
