Bishônen Warriors
The Final Battle part 2: You No Longer Exist!

Trix Rabbit threw test tubes, flasks and other breakable things
everywhere as he rummaged through Lucky's laboratory. "Come on," he said in
an annoyed tone, "there must be a Doomsday Device somewhere! Every mad
scientist has one!" With an angry shout, he swept one arm across the nearest
lab table and shattered everything on it. "Damn you, Lucky! Why can't you
follow the proper cliché?!"

As he whirled around, Trix Rabbit spied a glint in the far corner.
"What have we here?" he asked as he approached the large, spherical object.
He pulled the rest of the black tarp that covered it away and inspected the
machine. Plastered on it was a label, and on the label, in large, yellow
letters, were the words "Time Changer."

Trix Rabbit smiled his maniacal smile as he eyed these words. "Very
good," he said with a mad chuckle, "very good indeed..."


Lucky put a hand to his face in disgust. "Aw, %$#@," he muttered.

"What is it, dude?" Sugar Bear asked.

"I just remembered that I left my most precious and powerful device
in my lab. There's no doubt in my mind that Trix Rabbit is going to find it
and use it on us."

"And why did you have an all-powerful device anyway?" Hearts
demanded.

"It's a mad scientist rule," Lucky explained. "You see, as a mad
scientist of sorts, it's my duty to create a Doomsday Device of sorts."

"What does yours do?" Blue Moons asked.

"Changes time. And if Trix Rabbit uses it, we're screwed."

Horseshoes groaned. "Fine time to remember. And why exactly did you
leave it there?" he demanded.

"It was too heavy to carry," Sugar Bear commented. "At least, that
was his excuse."

"No matter," Lucky said as he pointed at the castle, "we're here."

Stars, Clover Hats and Blue Moons pulled open the large,
inconspicuous wooden door set into the gray cobblestone castle wall. Once
the door creaked open, all manner of explosives were set off. Hearts coughed
out smoke. "I believe your words were something along the lines of 'so
secret even King Honey Bee didn't know about it'," he muttered.

"Well, Trix Rabbit screwed our other plans," Lucky muttered, "so he
might as well screw this one, too."

"No matter, it's open, so we might as well go in," Stars said.

The five warriors, the leprechaun, and the bear all stepped into the
darkness beyond the entrance to the underground tunnel, not knowing what to
expect now.


Trix Rabbit sat on his throne, quite content with the large, spherical device
resting beside the throne. "What a delightful little toy," he uttered in
evil glee. "Remind me to thank Lucky for building it." He looked around,
realizing that no one was going to answer, so he did it for them in their
absence, "Of course, your Highness."

The doors creaked open, and the Bishônen Warriors rushed in with
Lucky and Sugar Bear in hot pursuit. "Are you prepared to die?" Clover Hats
asked.

"Because if you're not, then you'd better get ready," Horseshoes
said.

"I sort of implied that."

"Fine, bite my head off, why don't you?"

"Don't mind if I do."

"Please," Trix Rabbit said, "there will be no more arguing in my
throne room. In fact--" he motioned to the Time Changer "--there will be no
more -you.- Farewell, you little annoying floaters." With that, Trix Rabbit
stabbed the button on the machine, and the Time Changer emitted a huge pulse
of white light. "In less than five minutes, you will no longer exist. Even
if you manage to defeat me, the pulse caused by this machine will still
change time and wipe you from the history of this world, thus restoring me.
I'd say it's been a pleasure knowing you, but to be honest, it hasn't."

Stars scowled. "You--" he started before being interrupted.

"--Really know where it's at," Trix Rabbit finished with a smirk.
"Don't waste your time trying to make stupid quips. Perhaps you should spend
your last minutes of existence looking back on the wastes of time your lives
have been."

Lucky stepped forward and produced a small device. "Or they could
just go back and prevent the pulse from doing anything," he said. "This
device will allow them to do that."

"Curse you and your devices that foil your other devices!" Trix
Rabbit shouted.

Suddenly, the three conveniently placed windows burst in, and the
Neutral Rônin Force dropped in the throne room. "And we're here to help!"
Red Balloons declared.

"Yeah, nice timing," Blue Moons muttered.

"We're busy people," Pots of Gold said, "so be glad we showed up at
all."

Lucky pressed the button, and the eight Bishônen Warriors started
glowing as he started explaining, "All you need to do is destroy the monster
that pulse will generate--"

"How'd you know I'd send a monster?" Trix Rabbit demanded.

Lucky produced the large manuscript entitled SCRIPT before
continuing, "--and everything will be fine. When you get back, you can fight
Trix Rabbit once and for all."

"I'll just send another monster when they get back!" Trix Rabbit
declared. "In fact, I'll do it now!"

"Except that the device can't work again until after the time change
has taken effect."

"Curse you!"

The Bishônen Warriors disappeared from the present time frame.


"Whoa, trippy," Blue Moons murmured as the Bishônen Warriors reappeared no
the same day that they were pulled into the Land of Cereals. Except for Blue
Moons and the Neutral Rônin Force, but that has no need for explanation.

Shinzô walked into the dining room and stared at the eight armor-clad
teens before walking in the kitchen, shaking his head and muttering
something. When he returned, he sat down and opened the box of Lucky Charms.
However, instead of a hand reaching out and pulling him in, Trix Rabbit
jumped out with a large sword. "Trix Rabbit?!" Rainbows exclaimed.

"Of course!" Trix Rabbit said. "I'd rather do my own dirty work when
it comes to something as important as this!"

He raised the sword, but Hearts fired his bow and knocked the blade
from Trix Rabbit's paw. Trix Rabbit turned on the warriors. "Fine, it looks
like I'll have to take care of you before I can finish my business here," he
muttered. A rainbow blast of oranges, raspberries, grapes, limes, lemons,
wildberries and watermelons shot through the air and struck down the
Bishônen Warriors. Pots of Gold raised his pot and fired a golden beam from
it. Blue Moons added a beam of his own, as did Stars. Trix Rabbit took the
brunt of the force in his chest, but that did not stop him.

"Horseshoe Kick Shock!" Horseshoes shouted as he dashed forward.

Trix Rabbit caught Horseshoes' foot in his paws and threw the teen
into the nearest wall with a sickening thud. A rainbow boomerang cut through
the air and slashed into Trix Rabbit's back. He reached behind himself and
pulled the boomerang from his back before relaunching it at its owner.
Rainbows was powerless to stop the weapon and found himself pinned to the
wall as the boomerang pierced his shoulder and drove him back.

Shinzô blinked a few times. "I've really gotta stop eating calamari
before going to bed," he muttered.

Trix Rabbit picked up his sword, and he, Blue Moons, and Clover Hats
started to duke it out. Stars joined in with his mace, but was easily driven
from the battle. Clover Hats fired a beam from his weapon, but Trix Rabbit
deflected it and took down Blue Moons in the process.

"Red Balloon Grand Explosion!" Red Balloons shouted.

Everyone tried to stop him, but it was too late. Red Balloons not
only knocked himself out, but he also drove Pots of Gold and Horseshoes from
the battle, leaving only Clover Hats, Hearts and Trix Rabbit standing. Trix
Rabbit took one swing, and Clover Hats was taken down.

Hearts raised his bow. "Come now, you don't expect to destroy me
with that, do you?" Trix Rabbit scoffed. "If that's the case, I pity you."

The pink arrow pierced Trix Rabbit's chest, and he looked down at the
projectile protruding from his torso. With a laugh, he looked back up at
Hearts. "You see what I mean?" he asked with another chuckle.

"You won't destroy us," Hearts said. "I won't allow it."

"Your friends have all been defeated, boy. Come off your high horse
and admit defeat."

"Never." A pink heart appeared between Hearts' hands. "Heart and
Soul Shatter!"

The heart shot forward and exploded against Trix Rabbit's body,
throwing him into the wall. His stood up again, seemingly unharmed, and
laughed some more. Hearts produced his bow again, and three pink sugar
arrows flew through the air, finding targets adjacent to the arrow in Trix
Rabbit's chest. "So, are you using some power of friendship and love to do
this?" Trix Rabbit asked. "Are you one of those preachy crap kind of
people?"

Another arrow imbedded itself in Trix Rabbit's chest, and blood
started dripping from the corner of his mouth. "Yeah, that must be it," he
said, "your friends are helping you through their moral support and by
channeling their special powers into you. Am I right?"

Hearts shook his head. "You don't need all that crap," he said.
"You just need some kickass power-ups and really good aim."

The Heart Bow expanded, becoming as long as Hearts was tall. His
arrows lengthened accordingly. Three more arrows were fired, and Trix Rabbit
dropped to his knees. Hearts' armor expanded, becoming more cloth-like, and
it now draped over his entire body. A headband with a heart on it appeared
on his head, and a pink visor formed over his eyes. His bracers expanded
into larger gauntlets, and boots appeared on his legs. "Kickass power-ups,"
Trix Rabbit sputtered.

"Damn straight," Hearts said, "for now you'll feel my true power, the
power of Broken Hearts!" Broken Hearts' hands started glowing, and he closed
his eyes. "Broken Heart Retribution!"

Trix Rabbit found himself trapped inside a sphere of pink light. The
energy surrounding him started eating away at his body. He screamed in
agony, but each movement just caused more pain. Broken Hearts turned away as
Trix Rabbit slowly dissolved. The white light surrounded everyone, and they
returned to the Land of Cereals.


"What an odd turn of events," Lucky said. "I never would've thought Trix
Rabbit would actually set the machine to send himself back in time just after
the Bishônen Warriors went back. I guess this script was inaccurate."

The Bishônen Warriors appeared alongside the skeleton of Trix Rabbit.
"He's dead now," Shinzô said.

"Say, where did that power come from?" Niji asked.

"Plot contrivance," Lucky said. "They're all over the place. Hearts
was lucky that he happened to stumble into one at that moment in time."

"Uh, where'd our armor go?" Tsubo asked.

"You're no longer the Bishônen Warriors," Sugar Bear said. "You've
gone back to being regular teens now that Trix Rabbit is gone."

"Finally," Hoshi said.

"You're telling me," Umakutsu said.

"I was just getting to like it," Aoi said softly.

"At any rate, you can all go home now," Lucky said.

A portal opened up, and the teens went through it one by one. Shinzô
was the last one to go through, and he looked back and smiled at Lucky and
Sugar Bear. "See you guys around," he said.

"Sure, little dude," Sugar Bear said as he whipped out his syringe.

"Let's hope you never have to come back," Lucky said. "For our
sake."

Shinzô nodded, and the portal closed behind him.


The sun shone through the window and into Shinzô's eyes, waking him up. He
yawned and looked over at his clock. It was the same day it had been when he
was pulled into the Land of Cereals. He went down into the kitchen and did
not find it odd that no one else was home. He pulled down the box of Lucky
Charms and stared at it warily. "Should I...?" he asked himself.

Fighting any scruples, he opened the box and looked down into it.
Nothing but cereal. With a resigned sigh, he pulled out a bowl and sat down
at the table. Before he poured the cereal, he glanced into the box one last
time. Far below, Lucky and Sugar Bear looked up and waved. Shinzô put the
box down and stared at it.

"I've really gotta start eating something else," he finally said.
"Lucky Charms can't possibly be good for me."

The End

At long last, Bishônen Warriors has come to an end. However, do not fret,
they will return again someday. Maybe even in another series. However,
there will always be the little short side-stories that I might write, just
to include all the monsters I couldn't fit into the series. Until they
return, enjoy the other stories here. And if you have anything to say, just
e-mail me at Mefathiel@aol.com. Au revoir until the next adventure...
