"Athena's new image". part 5.

After the Orochi's failed attempt to recruit Athena, her and the guys are trying to work out how to exploit her goddess status now that she's evil. Annoyingly, a knock on the door interrupts them.

Athena- Damn it. Who's that? I'm trying to come up with plans here.

Billy- If it's a carpet salesman, kill them.

Reluctantly, she goes up to the door and opens it. Choi is there with his camcorder.

Athena- What do you want? Shouldn't you be spying on other fighters having affairs or drugs?

Choi- I'm here about the reality TV show you and the other Phsyco Soldiers agreed to do last month. Well, since you've dumped them, I figured I'd film the evil Athena. Viewers like watching bad behaviour.

Athena- No... Uhh, hang on. This could be what I need to attract fans and followers to my cause. You'd better make me look good.

Athena and Choi go to the others to explain the situation. We see them engaged in an argument about varoius fighters.

John- That K9999 thing is the worst fighter ever. Crappy Tetsuo ripoff.

Mature- Anime fans like K9999.

Billy- Oh come on, there's been worse. Remember Cheng Sin Zan? Little fat businessman with a silly voice?

Mature- I remember him. He was rubbish.

John- Yeah, but K9999 makes Cheng look like, about as cool as Iori for fuck's sake.

This angers both Mature and Billy, who've both had bad experiences involving Iori. They get up and attack John. Billy nails him with a Tri Kane Smash, after which Mature finishes him using her Metal Massacre, knocking the ex soldier down. Choi is filming the whole thing.

Mature- You don't mention Iori in this house. Not ever.

Choi- Great way to start the TV series

Athena(to the camera)- This is my life. I'm Athena Asamiya, your goddess and star of this show. I used to be a goody two shoes but saw the light, and found that being bad is much cooler. And that's why all you viewers at home should worship me. I'm far cuter than Rugal or Geese.

She finishes off introducing herself. Athena then directs Choi to the beaten John, who is barely concious.

Athena- That guy's John Crawley. He turned to crime after being kicked out of the army. Billy told me that he once got drunk, and tried to invade Disneyland with a stolen bumper car and pink Virtua Cop gun.

She then goes to look for Billy. They find him sitting there watching TV.

Athena- And here we have Billy Kane. He used to have a well paying job with Geese Howard, but after the organisation fell apart, he's become angry and bitter at the world, particularly at anyone called Bogard.

Billy- Yeah, it's all gone crap. My sister dates Joe Higashi, and Geese ran away to the Bahamas. I got this from Geese yesterday. Big pile of shit. Geese has many talents, but reggae ain't one of 'em.

Billy takes out a home made tape. The tape has "Bred'ren Geese's Ruff Reggae Mix" written on it and a photo of Geese in a Rasta hat, string vest and the normal huge trousers.

Athena- I think Geese has spent too much time in retirement. Anyway, let's go find Mature.

On their way to find the Orochi assasin, Athena stops Choi when they get to a traffic cone.

Athena- And this is a traffic cone. We seem to end up adopting quite a few stray cones after nights out.

Choi- Oh Kay then.

They find Mature in the kitchen, with a bottle of scotch.

Athena- This here's Mature. Secretary, assasin and former lesbian lover to Vice. The break up was kinda hard on her, hence, the booze.

Mature- Athena. I am SO over Vice. She can do what she likes with that slutty jailbait Whip. A little kid barely out of her training bra.

Ahtena- Whatever. (whispers to the camera) She's not really. Look.

On the kitchen wall, is a large photograph of the two Orochi killers in a loving embrace, grinning like retards. Vice has been scribbled on in red pen, details including devil horns and a Hitler moustache. The words "DIE VICE, DIE!" have been scrawled underneath, and a few kitchen knives stick out of the photo.

Athena- We'll leave you to cry into your booze then Mature.

Mature- I told you! I'm over Vice! Who cares!?

As they leave, Mature starts crying heavily over the broken relationship, throwing things around and cursing Whip's name.

Athena- Poor woman. She actually wants Vice back.

Mature- I heard that you little bitch!

Billy- Denial won't make it any better.

Mature- Aw, go shove that cane up your arse!

Billy and Athena laugh as Mature continues sobbing. John has finally got up from his earlier beating.

John- Why'd you have to tell them about Disneyland?

Billy- It's one of those funny stories that makes good reality TV. Did Athena mention the part about John being finally apprehended by sercurity in Mickey and Donald outfits and baseball bats?

Athena- Cool. Now everyone in the world knows.

John is hiding his face in shame, as the others laugh. Even Mature comes in, cheered up to point and laugh at him.

John- Wasn't funny. Spent six months in a Disney themed prison afterwards.

Mature- So what do you guys wanna do now?

Athena- Hey I know? Let's go and hijack the NESTS main base. It'll be fun, please? We could take over NESTS, just to destroy it or something.

Billy- Sounds good to me. You gonna film this Choi?

Choi- Wish I could. But I've gotta go. I've had a tipoff about Andy Bogard having an affair with pirate girl Jenet. Bye. Thanks for the footage.

Mature- So that's why Andy never shows Mai any interest. Because he secretly has a girl with bigger tits.

Athena- That explains it. Now, plans to invade NESTS. Preferably not involving bumper cars and pink arcade guns.

We leave our group of anti heroes planning their attack on NESTS main base. Will they succeed? What are Kensou and that lot doing? Does anyone want Athena to turn back into a nice girl? Find out in part six!
