The Lord of the Matrix

Chapter 1.5

By: Ravenchan

In a brief moment of peace, the Fellowship huddles around the fire one night, each doing their own thing. Raven tries to nap. A small frown marrs her delicate features as she dreams...

Running again. With the cruel sound of the morrigans' taunting barks and howls following her. No one around to help this time, and she was running out of breath. Holding her side as she runs, she wishes once again for her trusty pair of New Balance shoes. A small fallen branch seems to jump into her path and she tumbles over it, scratching her hands and arms as she tries to break her fall. She looks up into the gleaming eyes of a morrigan. They had been running her into a trap. Her head hangs down in a moment of defeat.

But she spies something shiny in the grass before her, glittering in the dual moon's light. Is it some sort of... locket, maybe? It's so cute....Instinctively she grabs for it and feels a rush of power. She feels the urge to hold up the locket and yell "Kawai Kawai Power! Make UP!!!", which she does. The morrigans step back, wondering what's going on. Raven is lifted from the ground in a warm bath of light. Her ragged excuse for clothing is whisked away to be replaced by a Sailor Senshi uniform, all deep purple, white and silver. Her flawless manicure is restored, with purple polish, only to be covered by white gloves. Small silver-white wings appear on her back. Thigh high white boots cover her feet and legs, with tiny sets of wings at the ankles.

One morrigan grunts to the other, "What are we waiting for?" The other swipes him with a paw. "You idiot. You aren't allowed to do anything when they're transforming. It's in the contract." "Pretty stupid, if you ask me..." mutters the chastised morrigan.

The now transformed Raven begins her speech, set to some Tai Chi-like arm movements. "Morrigans! You have chased me through the woods, desroying my manicure and really messing up my hair! Urasanai!!! Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Kawai Kawai will not forgive you!!!" A delicate long handled silver mallet with a tiny pair of wings appears before her. She grabs it and starts to twirl it, baton style. She then poses and yells, "Kawai Kawai Knee Buster!" Tiny mallets fly at the surly morrigan and strike bone. He howls in pain. "My knees!" It falls to the ground.

"And now to finnish you off!" She poses again and a small globe of energy appears before her. "Kawai Kawai Kaboom!!" she yells and the energy globe smacks into the morrigan, blasting it to shreds. The others run away in fear...

Marrin stands over the sleeping Raven. She has never let a human sleep long enough to hear it talk in it. She wonders what the heck "Kawai Kawai Kaboom" is...
