Bishônen Warriors
The Final Battle part 1: Changes...


"We've got to do something," Snap finally said. "He's gone off the
deep end, and he's going to take us with him."

"He's too powerful for us to take on," Crackle said. "Besides, look
at that army of Randomly-Generated-Monsters-of-the-Week! It's huge!"

Indeed the army was huge. Well, huge as armies of
Randomly-Generated-Monsters-of-the-Week go. In fact, it could be said that
this army is the largest army of Randomly-Generated-Monsters-of-the-Week
ever, since it was the first one ever. A little over a half-dozen monsters
had gathered in the throne room. Among them were the likes of the Duke of
Donuts, Prince Pastry, Bearclaws, Tony Toast, Waffle Ironer, Benedict Eggs,
and Quaker Oats.

"My minions," Trix Rabbit said, "the time for our victory is at hand.
The Bishônen Warriors can't possibly survive an attack by all of you,
especially since your strength settings were all set to 'Invincible!' So, my
dark breakfast-related army, march forward to our conquest of the Land of
Cereals!"

All of the monsters shot their hands into the air and cheered. Snap,
Crackle and Pop jumped out of the secluded corner and raised their
electro-mallets. "You're gonna have to go through us first!" Pop shouted.

Trix Rabbit sneered. "Do you truly think you can stop me now?" he
asked. "It's a good thing that I never truly believed you were loyal to me.
Don't think I didn't know that you helped the Bishônen Warriors escape this
castle. For that, and for this, you shall die a most horrible death."

The three brothers thrust their hands forward. "At least we'll take
a few of you with us!" Snap shouted. "Snap!"

"Crackle!"

"Pop!"

Their hands started glowing brightly. "Rice Crispies!" the three
elfin cereal sprites cried in unison.

Dozens of explosions dotted the room, but the monsters were undaunted
as they closed in on Snap, Crackle and Pop. Trix Rabbit couldn't help but
smile.


"Yo homes, what's goin down here?" Sugar Bear asked as he walked into the war
room of the Fortress of Cereals.

Everyone looked up from the map table and gave him odd looks.
"Anyway," Lucky said as they all went back to the map, "our best plan is to
cut through Cinnamon Toast Crunch Canyon and attack the castle from behind.
There's a secret entrance to my old laboratory there, and that's where we'll
go in."

"What if Trix Rabbit has already found it and sealed it off?" Hoshi
asked.

"Not possible. It's so secret that not even King Honey Bee knew
about it. So, we can enter from there and strike Trix Rabbit while he's
still planning his attack."

"But what if he attacks us while we're attacking him?" Kurôbâ asked.

"We just defeat his army," Shinzô said, taking over for Lucky. "You
see, Trix Rabbit may be zealous, but he's not stupid. The last thing he's
going to do is put himself in danger by leading his army into battle.
Instead, he'll horde himself up inside the palace. Once his army is downed,
we enter from the back and kill him with ease because he won't be expecting
us to be able to get in."

"Sounds simple enough," Aoi commented.

"It is," Lucky said. "Well, are we ready to go?"

"Of course!" Umakutsu said.

"Then it's time for a Bishônen Lucky Charms roll call!" Shinzô
declared. "Hearts!"

"Stars!"

"Horseshoes!"

"Clover Hats!"

"Blue Moons!"

They all transformed into the Bishônen Warriors. "Well, looks like
I'm not needed," Sugar Bear said as he headed for the door. "Peace!"

"Hold on just a minute," Lucky said. "You're not getting off so
easy. We're all in the same position here, Sugar Bear. You fight with us."

"Do I have to?" Sugar Bear asked. "I just got a great stash, and--"

"And nothing," Blue Moons said. "We all fight now, or we all die
later."

"What's to guarantee that's not going to happen is we all fight now?"
Hearts asked.

"Shut up," Stars reprimanded. "We don't need morbidity right now."

"Let's go kick some ass!" Clover Hats declared.

"That's the spirit," Lucky said.

"Bishônen Warriors!" everyone shouted as they took flying leaps out
of the nearby window.


The Bishônen Warriors treaded carefully through Cinnamon Toast Crunch Canyon,
so as to not bring attention to themselves by causing a rock slide. From up
ahead, they heard the sound of many feet approaching, and they found hiding
spots behind large boulders with Lucky and Sugar Bear. "Oh my God,"
Horseshoes breathed, "how many freaking monsters can Trix Rabbit make?"

"Seven, from the looks of it," Lucky replied.

"Uh, sorry to put a damper on your plans, chaps," Clover Hats said,
"but did you guys even make a plan for the possibility of Trix Rabbit being
here?"

Everyone looked ahead and saw Trix Rabbit marching behind his troops.
"Ah crap," Hearts muttered.

"I've got an idea," Stars said. "Why don't we run like hell?"

"Because we're going to have to fight them anyway," Blue Moons
replied. "We might as well do it here."

"If only that damn Neutral Rônin Force were here to help us."

They all paused a moment, expecting either Pots of Gold, Rainbows or
Red Balloons to make a grand entrance and valiantly offer their services.
However, it did not appear that would be happening any time soon. "Screw
it," Hearts said, "let's just get this over with."

"We should kind of formulate a plan first," Lucky pointed out.

"Okay," Blue Moons said, "we'll take on the monsters with Sugar Bear
while you take on Trix Rabbit."

"Fine with--hey!"

But it was too late, as the bishônen and the bear had already jumped
out of their hiding places to attack. He just shook his head and stepped out
from behind the boulder.

Hearts had squared off against the Duke of Donuts; Stars with Prince
Pastry; Horseshoes with Bearclaws; Clover Hats with Tony Toast; Blue Moons
with Waffle Ironer; Sugar Bear with Benedict Eggs; and for the time being,
Lucky fought to get past Quaker Oats.

"I burn you!" Waffle Ironer shouted at Blue Moons.

Trix Rabbit groaned. "I guess the intelligence goes when they get
the strength," he muttered.

"Yeah, whatever," Blue Moons said as he outstretched his hand. "Blue
Moon Single Eclipse!"

The sky darkened, and a blue beam of light shot down onto Waffle
Ironer and singed him. Blue Moons pulled out his blade and started cutting
into the waffle/waffle iron fusion. Sparks flew when metal met metal, but
the most damage done were a few dents in Waffle Ironer's metal half. "Waffle
Ironer burn now!" Waffle Ironer shouted.

The monster's waffle iron half opened up and spewed flames. Blue
Moons jumped out of the way of the blast, and the flames struck Bearclaws.
Bearclaws turned around and fired a few spiral missiles in Waffle Ironer's
direction. Horseshoes and Blue Moons watched in utter amusement as the two
monsters started fighting amongst themselves. And since both were
invincible, neither Monster-of-the-Week was able to get the upper hand.

"Oh yeah!" Sugar Bear shouted as a golden beam of light crushed
Benedict Eggs against the canyon wall.

Benedict Eggs pulled out a sheet of parchment and unfolded it.
"Wait, before you destroy me, let me give you my master's plans!" he cried.

Trix Rabbit intervened by destroying the monster he had created,
cursing himself for not realizing sooner that Benedict would pose problems.
Sugar Bear grinned the patented Grin-grin of Happiness at Trix Rabbit, and
Trix Rabbit scowled. "What the hell are you smiling at, loser?" he demanded.

"I'm not smiling, I'm stoned," Sugar Bear replied.

"Hold it right there, friend," Quaker Oats said.

"You're not my friend," Lucky snapped back as he tried to push past
the peaceful monster.

"Please, can't we talketh about this? There must be better ways to
getteth things done than through violence."

Lucky gave Quaker Oats a mean right hook. "Get out of my way, you
stupid monster!"

Quaker Oats swung back, knocking Lucky to the ground. "Hey, isn't it
against your religion to do that?" Lucky demanded.

"Do you thinketh I care?" Quaker Oats asked as he rolled up his
sleeves.

Sugar Bear fired another golden beam, this time into Quaker Oats'
back. The monster was driven into the canyon wall, and Sugar Bear helped
Lucky up. "Go take care of that rabbit," Sugar Bear said.

"Easier said than done," Lucky muttered.

Hearts groaned in pain as he fell to the ground with a donut wrapped
around him. The Duke of Donuts smiled darkly as he kicked the bishônen
repeatedly. "Don't think you're too tough now, do you?" the Duke asked.

"Heart and Soul Shatter!" Hearts shouted.

Unfortunately, because of his position, the heart exploded underneath
him and sent him flying up through the air. Moments later, he came crashing
down upon Tony Toast, who had just gotten stabbed by Clover Hats' hat pin.
"Cheerio!" Clover Hats declared.

"Huh? Where?" Tony Toast asked, looking around for backup.

"Time to get serious," Stars said as he backed away from Prince
Pastry. "Shooting Stars!"

Hearts and Blue Moons turned into energy and merged with Stars to
become Shooting Stars. With a mighty swing of his mace, Shooting Stars sent
Prince Pastry flying into Trix Rabbit. When Trix Rabbit recovered from the
blast, he scowled and released a huge blast of energy. "Stupid monsters!" he
shouted. "Your superior strength doesn't come close to making up for your
incredible lack of recognizable intelligence!"

All seven monsters were vaporized by the blast, and Trix Rabbit
glared at the Bishônen Warriors. "It may look like I'm running away now, but
believe me, I'm not," Trix Rabbit explained before he disappeared. "I'm
simply regrouping to increase my advantage over you. So long, suckers!"

Trix Rabbit's voice echoed as his physical form melted into the air.
The Bishônen Warriors gathered together at the center of the canyon. "It
looks like we might actually have a chance," Lucky said.

"Then let's get going," Horseshoes said. "The ball is in our court,
and it's time to play."
