"HEEEEEEERRRRRRREEEEEEEE WEEEEEEEEEE GOOOOOOOO!" Charmy yelled as she flew down towards the familiar colorful sky. Astro was the first to land (he put the pillow under him to break him fall). Charmy painfully landed next to him (pillowless). "Ouch..." Charmy said. Another familiar scream drifted in the air.
"EYAAAA!!!" Emi yelled with excitement.
"HELL YEAH!!!!" Rage's voice said. They landed next to Charmy and Astro (Astro had the pillow over him to shield him in case they landed on him. Emi stood up and wiped the dust off her blue capris with baby blue trim. Her trademark beanie was still there, but her clothes had changed. She was wearing a plaid shirt that flared at the end of the sleeves. She looked a little different...older. Emi and Charmy exchanged hugs. Charmy too had changed. She was wearing a silvery-white helmet with a pink stripe. She was wearing a body-tight dress with a dark gray stripe down the sides. The bottom of her skirt had dark gray stripes running across it and her legs had metallic silver-white tights. Just as Rage was getting up, Boldo fell on top of him.
"Why is it that YOU never get hurt while coming here?" Astro asked remembering Boldo landing on top of him last time. Astro was wearing his visor-like object over his eyes...as usual. He had high boots and striped aluminum-like pants. His arms were striped to match his legs and he had a black vest-like top.
"Who knows." Boldo shrugged. Rage got up rubbing his stomach where Boldo had landed. Boldo still looked the same with his purple disco suit and sunglasses, but Rage had changed a little from last time. Rage was wearing his signature army camaflouge pants with a long-sleeved white shirt that had an orange t-shirt over it. He still had his brown hair done in spikes.
"What EXACTLY do those visor thingies do?" Emi asked.
"These optical enhancers?" Astro asked. Emi looked dumfounded and Charmy explained.
"They help his see. He screwed up his vision because he was always in front of a computer." Charmy said.
"They were SUPPOSED to be vision-safe monitors!" Astro yelled.
"I know. I know." Charmy said. "You've told me about a million times."
"Well it's tru--" Astro exclaimed, but he was cut off by a familiar scream.
"WAAAAHOOOO!!!!" Tracy's voice echoed as she landed on top of Rage.
"OOF!" Rage exclaimed while getting up again. Everyone paused to stare at Tracy...making sure she wasn't intoxicated again.
"I'm not drunk this time." Tracy said. They stared harder.
"I mean it!" Tracy yelled. They laughed as she dusted off her clothes. Her hair was still done in outrageous spikes, but her outfit had changed. She was wearing a multi-colored colored sports-bra top with a super-skimpy multi-colored skirt leaving her belly exposed. She had a multi-colored headband to match her very colorful multi-colored clothes. She was wearing a lime-green sleeveless coat over her clothes and near-knee-high white boots.
"What're you supposed to be? A rainbow?" Rage teased.
"Shuddap!" Tracy said.
"No! She's an ice cream store!" Emi exclaimed. Everyone laughed.
Astro handed Rage his pillow.
"What the hell?" Rage asked not knowing what Astro was doing.
"You might need it." Astro explained. A figure was approaching them from a distance...could it be...?
"Emi!!!" Zukin shrieked. She ran to Emi and hugged her.
"Hey Zukin!" Emi said warmly. Following Zukin came a robot that looked like Konsento.
"I am the new an improved Konsento:03/2." Konsento said with his still-monotonous voice.
"Us puppet-people have new friends!" Zukin said while pointing to two other approaching figures.
"You're a puppet?" Emi asked. Zukin nodded and the other two figures came into view.
"Hello, I'm Maid-Zukin." Another puppet-girl said. She was wearing a purple catsuit with a purple dress and a white lacy apron.
"And I'm Robo2000." A robot next to Maid-Zukin said. He was baby blue and appeared to be wearing something similar to clothes. A vacuum was connected to him and Maid-Zukin held the vacuum.
"We were once dancers, but now we would like to keep your new rooms nice and clean." Maid-Zukin explained with a cheery smile.
"The others should be coming soon." Zukin said.
"The oth--" Rage was about to say, but a guy landing on top of him cut him off.
"Who the hell are you?" Rage asked.
"My name is Izam."
"Hey Astro, I'm beginning to see why you gave me this pillow." Rage said waving the pillow. Another girl flew out of the sky, but this time she landed on top of Emi.
"HOLY SHIT! IT'S YOU!" The girl said scrambling to her feet and pointing at Emi. Emi looked at the girl for a minute. Then she registered who she was and kept silent.
"SHIT! Of all the people to get stuck with!" The girl said.
"WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY?!?!" Rage demanded. The girl stopped and looked at Rage. She gave him a sweet smile.
"Oh...I thought she was someone else." She said meekly.
"No you didn't...Ni-Na." Emi said.
"Who the hell is this bitch?" Rage asked with anger.
"She was this girl at my old school. You could say we didn't get along well." Emi said not showing any type of emotion toward Ni-Na.
"Don't you dare insult Emi!!!" Rage hollered.
"I...I didn't mean it." Ni-Na said. Emi rolled her eyes but didn't say anything. Rage put a protective arm around Emi. They walked away from Ni-Na together. Ni-Na glared at them.
"Damn Emi always gets the good guys." She thought. "Look at that cute face...and that ass...he's so HOT!"
"Nice to see you too." Izam said with a slight glare. Ni-Na looked at him and smiled. "What's with that face Izam?" She asked.
"Take a wild guess." Izam said.
"I don't know what you're talking about." Ni-Na said innocently.
"Oh really?" Izam said. "Oh let's just simplify this for you: YOU ARE A PLAYER!"
"Who me?" Ni-Na said batting her eyelashes. Izam turned around and walked away from her. She stood there alone as everyone else had left with Emi and Rage. She slowly walked towards the others. "I feel like I'm meeting my executioner at the chopping block." Ni-Na thought glumly. She quietly joined the group and was shunned by the others.
"AHHHHHHHHHH!!!" A young girl screamed, interrupting Ni-Na's thoughts.
She flew out of the sky and landed on top of Charmy. She got up, stunned. She patted her shoulder-length blonde hair and took out a mirror to make sure her makeup was still intact. Everyone stared at her.
"What?" She said icily.
"Bitch..." Rage and Boldo mumbled. She was wearing a white shirt with a green shirt over it. There were light green stripes on her shirt and she was wearing short light brown shorts and knee-high boots. She quickly fixed up her mussed hair and made sure everything was in place. No sooner had she checked everything, a guy flew out of the sky and landed on top of her.
"OHMIGOSH! Jenny babe, are you OK?" He asked frantically.
"Johnny! You MESSED UP MY HAIR!" She yelled.
"I'm so sorry!!" He said bowing down to her. "Forgive me!" She rolled her eyes and walked away. Johnny got up. He had a white shirt on with bell-bottom jeans and brown shoes. He was wearing a pinkish-purplish shirt over his white one and his hair was done in a John Travolta 50s hairstyle. Everyone gawked at him.
"What did you come out of...'Grease'?" Rage asked.
"No, but that was a good movie. It came out last year." Johnny said.
"THEY'RE FROM THE 50s!!!" Rage exclaimed.
"Well DUH!" Jenny said. "I mean, no one from the 1800s are alive you know."
"Yeah, but I'm from year 2001." Rage said. For the first time, Jenny looked around. Ni-Na, Johnny, and Izam followed suit.
"WHERE THE HELL ARE WE?" Jenny shrieked. She was on the verge of having a heart attack.
"Whoa WHOA! Calm down!" Astro said. "We're in another dimension." Jenny blinked.
"CALM DOWN? WE'RE IN SOME FUNKY OTHER WORLD AND YOU'RE TELLING ME TO BE "CALM"? WHERE'S YOUR BRAIN?" Jenny shrieked.
"Well for YOU it may be your first time here, but it isn't for us." Astro said.
"You mean...you've BEEN here before?" Jenny asked.
"Affirmative." Astro said. Just then, a young girl flew out of the sky and landed perfectly on her feet.
"Hello!" She said. She was incredibly perky. "My name is Yuni!" At the same moment, a man landed next to her and took out his gun.
"Akira's the name." He said as he twirled the gun on his fingers.
"WOW! HE'S SO FINE!" Ni-Na, Jenny, and Charmy said at the same time.
"A-ki-raaa!" Yuni said. "Don't show off!" Yuni was a cute little girl with orange-blonde hair. She was wearing a Japanese schoolgirl uniform with a cute orange plaid pleated skirt. Her top was black with a matching orange plaid bow. She had black knee-high socks and brown shoes. Her clear blue eyes sparkled with innocence. Akira was wearing a prep-school uniform. His pants were black as was his vest. Inside of his vest was a neatly tucked white shirt. His dark brown hair was short a cleanly cut.
"Defenders of the world!" Yuni and Akira said while posing.
"We saw time portals opening and followed you guys here." Yuni said.
"You were also fated to come." Mr. DJ said.
"OMIGOSH!" Jenny said looking around her. "Where's that voice coming from?"
"I'll protect you Jenny." Johnny said while hugging her from behind. Jenny elbowed him in the stomach.
"Dammit Johnny! I only have a limited supply of disinfectant!" Jenny said frantically rubbing her shirt where Johnny had made the slightest bit of contact with her.
"I'm the DJ of this place. You guys were brought her to dance." The DJ said.
"Oh...I see." Jenny said. "You know what, wake me up when this nightmare's over."
"IT'S NOT A DREAM!!!!" Emi, Rage, Charmy, Astro, Tracy, Boldo, Zukin, Konasento, Maid-Zukin, and Robo2000 said.
"OK! OK!" Jenny replied after so many voices yelled at her. Ni-Na smiled at Jenny. FINALLY someone she could relate to. Akira put the gun back in a fancy way and Charmy, Jenny, and Ni-Na sighed dreamily.
"Oh PLEASE don't say you joined Akira's fan club." Rage said sarcastically while turning to face his girlfriend.
"No way...I have a life ya know." Emi said.
"Hey! We do too!" Ni-Na, Jenny, and Charmy replied.
"This is going to be one interesting group." Boldo said while shaking his head.
"I hear ya!" Tracy said.
