Yay, it's my birthday! ^________^ And I'm posting a chapter just for you guys! I've decided to start double spacing my paragraphs, just to let you know. Sorry you didn't think Thomas was insane enough, Maelgwyn. I'll try to make him more psychotic in later chapters. And thanks soooo much for the cookies, BBLX! Ha ha, you didn't tell me that I had to share *these*..... but I will anyway cause I'm *so* nice! Here, to all my reviewers! Have some cookies! And now, here's a box of chocolate chip cookies for *you*, BBLX! So be nice and share them with Nikita and Naomi! Heh heh, don't you just love me? ^__________^

Disclaimer: I own nothing. And yet somehow, I manage to go on living. Can't say I've maintained my sanity, but I am still living.

Chillin' On the Dark Side

CHAPTER 6: The Dreaded Fan Riot

"RAVEN! RAVEN! RAVEN! RAVEN!" the majority of the people (most of them being fangirls) screamed as they raced towards the dark-haired warrior. (Oh yeah, I'm somewhere in that group!! ^_^)

"HEY, A FAN RIOT! CALM DOWN PEOPLE, YOUR HERO'S COMING!" Van shouted as he pushed through the crowd. He nearly got run over as a bunch of people dressed entirely in blue bolted over to Reese. Van had just dodged them when suddenly he found himself trapped in the middle of several people running over to Hiltz in red clown wigs. He disentangled himself from the mob and stood in the middle of the lair. He soon realized that he was all alone.

"Hey, uh, any Flyheight fans out there?" he called out. His voice was drowned out by Thomas pumping his fist and screaming "GIRL POWER!!!" to the handful of fans that surrounded him. Van looked around him. There had to be someone around here that liked him. "Uh, Fiona?" Van asked. He turned to see her shouting out to her fans.

"WHAT DO WE WANT IN OUR COFFEE?!" Fiona screamed.

"SALT!!!!" her fans screamed back deafeningly.

"Gross." Van muttered as he continued looking around. Irvine and his fans were busy counting money and Moonbay was leading her fans in a song. "I AM THE TRANSPORTER OF THE WASTELAAAAAAANNNNNNDDDDDD.....I CAN'T HEAR YOU!!!" she screamed. The fans rose their voices and the Dark Kaiser's orb started cracking.

"HEY, WATCH THE MERCHANDISE!" Dark Kaiser yelled. His fans stood outside the orb and pushed papers into a tiny slot. The papers that came out of the slot next to it were imprinted with the Dark Kaiser's official seal. (Lazy as crap Dark Kaiser!) Next to that the organoids were sitting at a table signing autographs for a very large group of fans. "Hey, Zeke buddy, how's it going?" Van asked.

Zeke looked up in annoyance. "Van, do you mind? I'm kinda busy here. My fans are waiting!" With that he turned back to the huge group of people that surrounded him and continued his work.

"Man, the guy gets a couple of fans and all of a sudden he's a bigshot!" Van muttered bitterly. He turned to look on the other side of the organoids. Hiltz and all of his fans were sitting in children's school desks scribbling on pieces of paper. Suddenly, at the exact same time, they all looked up at Van.

"How do you spell 'Santa'?" Hiltz and his fans asked in unison. Van fell anime-style. "Creepy," he whispered under his breath as he got up and looked over at Reese and her fans. The side of the lair that they were on had been painted entirely blue, and a huge sign hung over it. The sign read BLUE ZONE: IT'S BLUE WAY OR THE HIGHWAY.

"Could they stand a little color variation?" Van asked himself softly. Unfortunately for him, it hadn't been softly enough. Reese and her fans turned to glare at him menacingly.

"TREASON!" Reese screeched. "HOW DARE YOU INSULT OUR CULTURE?! BY THE POWER OF THE BLUE, YOU SHALL BE PUNISHED!"

"Forever blue." Reese's fans chanted together.

"YOU PEOPLE ARE CRAZY!" Van yelled without thinking. Reese gritted her teeth. "MEMBERS OF THE NOBLE BLUE, I COMMAND YOU TO BRING THIS COLORBLIND TRAITOR TO JUSTICE!" she screamed. Her fans lifted up a huge blue paint gun and shot a giant blue paint ball at Van. It hit him at full force and scattered blue paint all over him and the surrounding area.

"VICTORY! THIS VILLIAN HAS BEEN REBORN!" Reese shrieked triumphantly. "Now who's up for some blue sponge cake?" Her fans screamed in agreement as they retreated into the Blue Zone.

"They are definitely mental." Van muttered angrily as he tried to get the blue paint out of his hair. "I'm sure they'll make great serial killers one day."

As he worked on making himself blue-free, he looked over at the farthest corner of the Dark Kaiser's domain. Raven was surrounded by a huge group of fans who were cheering for no apparent reason. He was standing on a high rock blocked by security guards dressed entirely in black and holding sharp machetes to keep the fan girls back.

"Wonder what's going down over here?" Van thought to himself as he walked over to get a closer look.

"MAY THE FORCES OF EVIL PREVAIL!" Raven shouted. A huge cheer went up through the masses. "ARE YOU ALL WEARING YOUR OFFICIAL RAVEN FAN CLUB T-SHIRTS?!" Everyone turned their backs to Raven to show him their shirts. The fan T-shirts were black. On the front was the red symbol on Raven's cheek, and on the back was a huge picture of Van's face with a gigantic red X through it. "LET'S HEAR THE OFFICIAL CLUB CHANT!" Raven yelled. He then went on to lead them in the chant.

"HATE ZOIDS, KILL FLYHEIGHT! HATE ZOIDS, KILL FLYHEIGHT! HATE ZOIDS, KILL FLYHEIGHT!" the masses screamed over and over again.

"Hey!" Van frowned. "Are you guys talking about me?" He looked at the people around him. "Hey, is that my face that has the big X over it?!" he asked as he looked at their shirts and at the huge banner that the security guards had hung over Raven. "Do you guys not like me or something?" he continued.

"HEY!" Raven suddenly shouted. The masses ceased their chanting and looked up at him questioningly. He pointed a finger out into the crowd. "LOOK! THE ENEMY IS AMONG US AND YOU'RE JUST LETTING HIM STAND THERE LIKE HE DESERVES TO LIVE!" The masses all turned to where he was pointing and saw Van.

"Uh, hate zoids, kill Flyheight?" Van said nervously as all the people glared at him.

"WELL?! WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU WAITING FOR?! REMOVE THIS INFERIOR BEING FROM MY SIGHT AT ONCE OR YOU'RE ALL GETTING KICKED OUT OF MY FAN CLUB!" Raven yelled.

"AHHHHHHHHH!!" came the war cry from the masses, all of them horrified at the thought of being kicked out of the warrior's fan club. They charged towards Van with charged particle guns, hand grenades, strong black ropes, and some heavy-duty duct tape, supplied by the Empire.

Van started backing away, but he was quickly surrounded on all sides. The people began closing in on him. "NO! DON'T COME ANY CLOSER! I'M WARNING YOU!" Van screamed frantically. "ZEEEEEEKKKKKKKEEEEEEEE!" he shouted as he was completely smothered by the masses. There was a huge cloud of smoke as the masses put their supplies to good use and Van yelled in agony. When they were finished blowing him to smithereens, they hung him from a stalactite and returned to Raven.

"YOU HAVE DONE WELL, MY LOYAL FANS! I PRAISE YOU FOR YOUR COMMENDABLE DEEDS! BROTHERS OF DESTRUCTION, MAY THE EVIL IN OUR HEARTS BE PERPETUATED!" Raven shouted. The ignorant masses didn't really understand what he meant, being too stupid to understand the words of a genius, but they cheered anyway.

"BROTHER! HE CALLED ME BROTHER!" a guy in the crowd shouted wildly. He tried to run up to Raven's rock, but the security guards held him back with their machetes.

One particularly rabid fan girl, noticing that the security guards were occupied, took advantage of the opportunity and ran up to Raven. "AHHHHH! THIS IS LIKE, TOO PERFECT! WOW, RAVEN, I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU I-" the girl shrieked at an ear-shattering volume. Realizing that his security guards were currently busy with another problem, Raven ripped a stalactite out of the ceiling and smashed the girl with it with all his strength. She went flying back over the masses and smashed into the opposite wall.

She lay still for a moment and then looked up at everyone. Bright colors shone around her face. "RAVEN HIT ME WITH A STALACTITE!!!" she screamed, giving them all a thumbs-up and smiling widely. The masses fell anime-style.

Look guys, I don't hate Van. I just wanted there to be someone without any fans, and Thomas needs his for later chapters. So don't kill me! And I admit it, I lied. This chapter wasn't *really* long, but it was longer than the last one. And I'll try to have the next one up soon. So in the meantime, give me a birthday present and review my story! Thanks guys, see ya later! Enjoy those cookies, BBLX! ^_^
