Author's Notes: Well, I've started the series back up! *And there was
much rejoicing ^_^* Anyway, of course, this fic will feature Joel, and
Tenchi for the Tenchi Muyo part. I will try to make him stay in
character, of course. Oh, and btw, this part will be quite a bit more
serious than my other parts, but I thought it needed some serious parts.
Don't worry, this whole episode isn't going to be totally serious, but
it's not going to be as silly as the other ones i did. Well, general
disclaimer should be inserted here. On with the fic!

Fanfiction Patrol! Special Mini-Series: Adventures In Fanfiction
Space, Part One!
By Joel Dao-Zi Kh'as
*LV-426, Hadley's Hope Colony*
"Sorry, I'm not one of the colonists," said Joel, "but I do know that
something out of the ordinary has just happened, am I right?" asked
Joel
"Well, you'd be right about that. Some-some things have infested that
atmosphere processor, and we're all in deep trouble until the platoon's
synthetic, Bishop, can remote-pilot a Dropship down..." said Ripley.
"Err... what are you talking about? Joel, you don't even know who she
is, nor she you. Heck, I don't know who you are. Could you please
introduce yourself?!?"
"Ok, then. You can call me Joel. You could say that I'm a... soldier
of fortune, of sorts. I go wherever there's trouble, and try to
correct it, and collect my reward." said Joel.
"So, you're a bounty hunter..." said Ripley, rather unsure of Joel.
"Not really, but that description will suffice for now..." *I can't
tell them who I really am... would disrupt continuity too much...*
"Well, whatever you are, we don't have much to offer in the way of
food, or weapons, etc. Most of it was lost in that Dropship wreck over
there..." said Ripley, pointing to a pile of debris outaside the
facility.
"Man, you're lucky..." said Tenchi, staring at the wreckage.
"Actually, I think the dead are really luckier now... if those things
I talked about before get in this facility, we have virtually no
chance." stated Ripley, matter-of-factly.
"Th-Things?" asked Tenchi, very nervously.
"Yes, things. They have acid for blood, LOTS of teeth, and are as
fast as hell. If you're captured by them, they'll lay something in you,
and you'll 'hatch', and i'd imagine it's VERY painful..." said Ripley,
unusually coldly.
"Well, that just sounds fine and dandy..." said Joel. "Well, how long
till there 'things' get here?"
"Sometime in the night, I suppose. At least that's what the girl we
found said..." said Ripley. "We lost contact with this colony two weeks
ago. That means this girl has survived at least that long, hiding in
the air shafts too small for them to get inside, so I think she's pretty
good at determining their 'sleeping' patterns. Any more questions?"
asked Ripley.
"No, I think I have a bit too much info already," said Tenchi, who was
shaking at the prospect of these creatures.
"Well, I think I won't have to worry you too much about draining your
weapons supplies..." said Joel, who pulled out a standard issue C-10
Canister Rifle.
"What does that thing fire? And where'd you get it from?" asked
Ripley, amazed.
"It fires grenade-bullets which explode on impact. Where I got it
from doesn't much concern you..." said Joel, in an unusual-for-him serious
tone.
In fact, Joel had gotten it from a dying Ghost commando when he was
warping through time and space for 5 hours just before he arrived at the
Masaki Household. When he saw his face through the helmet, it looked
just like his own, except for a scar at the chin. This is one of the
many possibilites you get when you warp around dimensions...
"Well, you better hope you don't fire that when you're anywhere near
one of those xenomorphs. Acid blood will splash all over you. Did you
bet on that, mister solder-of-fortune?" asked Ripley.
*Oi, I forgot about that...* thought Joel.
"Well, there's the same risk associated with those pulse rifles, isn't
there?" said Joel.
*END OF PART FOUR*
Joel: Man, this is getting sort of dark.
Ripley: Hmmm... what's this you're doing?
Joel: Never Mind! Arghh, there goes the fourth wall! Anyway, in the
next part of the Fanfiction Patrol Miniseries, I accidently get lost in
the Hive!
Ripley: It's unbelivably Pathetic! Mainly because I save him!
