Episode 2 : Life Or A Reasonable Facimile Of It
Daybreak in the City of Fiction. A pleasant place to live, if one can discount the rampant wierdness of the area. Much like a city of old, it sported a modern area, with a little Chinatown and a harbor district. Presumably, it's near California, because of the sparkling ocean beside it, but who knows, because there's a desert on the other side, forests and mountians.
On this day, one would see a medium sized house, built for six people, if not five were living in it. The paticular morning however, had Ryan Griffin cooking in the kitchen. The sizzle of batter poured into a waffle maker could be heard as the whoosh of heat on liquid could be heard.
In the living room, Canis who had awoken early despite misgivings of sleeping not in his own bed, was flicking through the early morning news and other assorted shows. He yawned mightily as he flicked past the early morning cartoons and settled on turning the tv off. "Boring."
There was a tremendous yawn from the hallway as Eric shuffled in, looking bleary but dressed. There was a general concensus that the guys would be dressed in the morning. If Kim had to see the morning wood, she would personally remove it with a chainsaw. The boys had grunted and there was a general crossing of legs. "Morning," he grumbled, shuffling into the living room and flopping on the couch.
Canis grunted his good morning as he said, "Ryan is cooking."
"Good," replied Eric. He rubbed his eyes and looked at his yellow t-shirt in disgust. "Did you realize that we can't seem to wear our colors even when sleeping?"
Canis snorted. "Tell me about it." He was already dressed in black jeans and a black t-shirt. "It just felt alien and strange not to wear our colors."
"Talking about colors?" The boys turned to see Jon leaning on the wall. He was dressed in blue shorts and a blue wife beater. Obviously sleeping clothing since they were rumpled as hell. "Waiting for Ryan to finish cooking?"
"Yeah. Have a seat." Jon flopped down into the overstuffed easy chair and sighed.
Eric looked at him and smirked. "I'd thought you would have been fast asleep, being from England."
"Not really," said Jon with a grin. "This is what, one in the afternoon for me?"
Ryan poked his head into the living room and said, "Breakfast is on. Anyone want to risk waking up Kim?"
Canis made a grumbling sound. "She said, and I quote : 'The guy who pokes his head into my room gets his thing removed'. I'm not risking it."
Ryan rolled his eyes as he headed back into the kitchen. "Just rap on the door and tell her that breakfast is ready."
After a short scuffle with an irate Iapetus, Eric and Kim were seated at the table, eating. Eric looked a bit dizzy and Jon and Canis were laughing at them. Ryan rolled his eyes and continued into his food.
Kim poked at her food and said, "So, what are we going to do? We don't know this city very well."
"We're all still in school, right?" said Ryan. "My program's not found in most colleges but I was able to find one at, what was the name? Ah yes, Plot Device University. I'm sure we can get Archive to hack us in."
"Argh, school? When we're saving the world?" exclaimed Eric.
"It's better than nothing," said Jon. He then made a face. "I'm going to have trouble not sleeping through the classes."
Canis' brow then furrowed in thought. "Hey guys, there was six of us in the chat room, right?"
Kim nodded and then munched on a piece of waffle. "Yeah, there was all of us and Shaun. Ryu and Tatsu haven't been online today."
"But Shaun was in the chat room when the light hit," said Jon, noticing where the conversation was going. "You think he should be here too?"
There was a pause and a vocal "Naaaaah," from the whole group. Ryan chuckled. "Shaun's probably too happy and fun loving for Archive to pick up."
"Yeah," said Eric with a grin. "He'd make a lousy DiaRanger."
"Ryu and Tatsu on the other hand would make good DiaRangers," said Kim. "They could adjust to our standards."
"Probably not Tatsu. What about Blitz?" asked Canis. "He could have become one. Archive did say there was a sixth power out there."
"Maybe," replied Jon. "He's got so much net troubles recently, it's not even funny."
"All of our computers have problems," said Ryan, poking Jon with his fork. "C'mon, almost all of us have random restarts and stuff. And Akino can't join in on AIM chats since she doesn't have AIM."
Eric moaned as he hung his head. "Man, Akino would have been a better choice as a Yellow Ranger."
"Feeling like your manhood is threatened, eh Eric?" quipped Jon as Eric gave him a death glare. Jon then poked Canis' food with his own fork.
Suddenly, there was an explosion in the form of an angry Black Ranger. "DON'T TOUCH THE FOOD!"
"Oh dearie, dearie dear, this shall not do at all. That naughty, naughty widdle wizard made a BIG oopsie..." said a female figure dressed in a bright and cheery dress and a very stereotyped witch's hat.
"Don't worry, my queen! We'll deal with those rejects from a crayon factory! When we're through, their wrappers will be torn and their points'll be all worn down!" a tall misshapen figure with a shadowy cloak clashing with a pastel outfit and a sword with a heart design in the hilt said.
"Oh, and YOU would be possibly able to do so, Reff Rimoy? I mean, you were pathetic out there, even with the help of those Dubbies I created for you. I mean, really, how did you manage to mess it up if you were in command of MY perfectly created foot soldiers?" said a man in amazingly plain and dusty brown robes.
"Pefect? Tob, those Dubbies looked like you bought them in the clearance bin at Walmart! They were so pathetic they couldn't beat an old rag!"
"Oh, boys. Fighting is bad! You could give each other owies! Then I'd have to send you to time out. Now, will you behave?" The witch put her hands on her hips and looked like a mom scolding her children.
"Of course not, Queen Merry Mei," Both Reff and Tob said in unison, obviously shaken.
"Oh, goodie! Now, let's sit down and think of a way to make those naughty, bad DiaRangers go away!"
"Well, my queen, why don't you just kick up a spell and make their DiaRanger powers leave faster than a hobo that found a ham sandwich?" Reff asked.
"Oh, I wish I could, but Archive was such a stupid meanie head that he made them immune to my magic. Oh! Archive and his naughty little fanfiction writers!" Merry Mei huffed. Her pink cat nuzzled up against her and she picked it up, "Oh, Plotty, I didn't mean to scare you."
Reff stood up suddenly, "That's it, my queen! We could fight fire with fire and bad writer with bad writer!"
Merry Mei's eyes brightened, "Oh? Tell me!"
Reff continued, "Well, how's about we find ourselves another fanfiction writer! There has to be one around that can write a character that makes a punch from Superman look like a tap on the shoulder! Then, Tob here'll make a monster outta him or her, and they'll slice, dice, and make Julienne fries out of the DiaRangers!"
Tob preened, "I do say that that plan sounds like something that I might dream up. And there's nothing on this world that I can't make much, much better!"
Reff said, "Exactly. By the way, who's Julie Ann and what do her fries taste like?"
Merry Mei clapped, "Wonderful idea Reffery! I'll go look for one right now!" Within seconds of turning to her computer, she said, "Oh, I found a PERFECT one!"
Reff looked over, "Really! That was faster than a starving squirrel on a shiny new peanut!"
"This little author made a character that's strong, that's pretty, good natured, never naughty, and she's so very nice that the main character of the series falls in love with her at first sight!" Merry Mei gushed.
"These reviews are worse than cheddar cheese ice cream, though! What's a Mary Sue?"
"Oh, some mean people were just jealous of her amazing character! Mary Sue sounds like an appropriate name, though. It's nice and pretty! What do you think, my kitty?" The cat made no movement, which Merry Mei interpreted as a positive response.
"Hey, my queen, you're a poet and didn't know it! You made a rhyme in no time!" Reff mused, happy at his discovery.
"Tob, fetch the author named Gatomon67 and we'll make her into the first Mary Sue Monster!" she began giggling helplessly.
"I am going to KILL Ryan for this," grumbled Canis as he shambled through the hallways of Plot Device University. "School is something to do. Bah."
Eric stole a glance over at the grumbling Black Ranger as he shrugged helplessly. "What else are we supposed to do? We can't really find any good jobs until we finish our courses, right?"
"I would kill for a hundred dollars right now," grumbled Canis. "If only to stay sane and spend it all."
Eric was about to retort with a witty reply when suddenly, the quad was filled with light and the unmistakable sound of teleportation. The two whirled around to see a squad of the multi colored Dubbies that immediately set to work attacking patrons of the quad with their rubber foam bats that seemed to deal a heck of a lot more damage when it struck a living object.
"Shit!" Eric exclaimed, ducking a flying body that turned out to be Jon who landed with a thud. Grasping Jon by the elbow, he helped the British man up. "That must have hurt."
"No shit sherlock," griped Jon, his accent deepening with the grunts of pain. "Are we clear?"
"Yeah, pretty much," replied Canis. He cracked his knuckles and grinned evilly as he reached for his Morpher. "Power of Hentai!"
In a flash, Blue, Yellow and Black Rangers stood in the middle of the quad as the Dubbies looked at them stupidly. "PenBlades!" Black commanded as he drew his own sword and leapt into the fray.
"You know," Blue remarked as he slashed one down and rounded on another with an overhead strike. "This would be a hell of a lot faster if we busted out the uber moves."
"What kind of fun is that?" Yellow asked as he flipped one over and took another Dubbie out from the legs.
"He's got a point," Black said as he made a hand motion. "Sonic Wolf Howl!"
Blue and Yellow shrugged and loosed their own super attacks. In moments, the group of Dubbies were scattered in pieces, many rapidly turning into dust. "Well, that was easy," said Yellow as he thumbed his nose at them.
"You think we can claim monster attacks as a chance to get out of class?" asked Blue as he reverted back to his normal form.
Black and Yellow followed suit as they picked up their backpacks that had been kicked to the side of the hallway. "I doubt it," said Eric as he massaged a sore spot that a Dubbie had struck with his foam bat.
"Blast. Aw well, at least the day can't get any worse," said Canis as he shouldered his bag.
Eric glared at Canis. "Don't say that. Sometimes, it always manages to get worse."
"Archive? Archive! HEY ARCHIVE!"
"Eh?" Archive snapped out of his daze as Kyle-5 glared up at him, hands on his metallic hips. "Those communicators you asked me to build are ready. Should I teleport the DiaRangers here?"
"In a minute," replied Archive a bit absently as the Viewing Globe focused in on girls in the school showers. Kyle threw up his hands and groaned.
"Teleporting now," Kyle said, punching in a sequence of buttons. In a flash of multicolored light and the skezzrch of teleportation, the five appeared in various manner. Jon, Eric and Canis seemed to be coming out of a light doze as they fell over from sleeping in class. Kim was in the process of handing something to someone and Ryan yelped and hurridly pulled his pants up from around his ankles.
Archive raised a non-existant eyebrow. "I don't want to know," he rumbled.
"Nice underwear," Kim remarked while pushing Ryan over who was stooping to grab his pants.
Before the situation could dissolve into a round of fighting, Kyle-5 interjected. "We brought you here to give you these communicators. They are vital so that we can contact you instead of teleporting you here blind." Handing out the communicators from a small box, Kyle stepped back as they strapped them on. "They are tied into the transporter system."
"Cool, free ride," Jon said. He then yawned mightily. "Man, I'm still on GMT."
Just then, the alarm went off. Startling visibly, Kyle-5 punched up the picture on the viewing screen, overriding Archive's half hearted protests. The Globe displayed a group of Dubbies in the middle of the city accompanied by what appeared to be a girl with something of an unearthly and etheral beauty. "Who is that?" asked Ryan as he tucked in his shirt.
"Merry Mei has sent down her first monster," said Archive who seemed to be checking something. "Apparently, she is a Mary Sue."
The Authors did a collective shudder. "That would explain the wierd looking digimon she's got," said Eric as her digimon looked like a more "cool" version of Tailmon. "I've seen some fangirl stuff before but this takes the cake."
"Her Mary Sue is named Lily with no given last name," Archive rumbled. "But apparently, she is supposed to be the cousin of Taichi and Hikari with the supposed last name of Kamiya or Yagami. Her D-3 grants her MagnaGatomon with multiple forms and apparently, is supposed to be the last hope of the Digi-destined."
"Sounds like some Mary Sue ass kicking is needed," said Kim, an evil and sinister grin on her face.
"Go now," said Archive. "The fight awaits. Don't get killed, you hear?"
"Loud and clear oh giant floating head," said Jon as Canis reached behind his back, the others following.
"Power of Hentai!" shouted Canis as they brought forth their Morphers.
In a flash of light, the five teleported into the middle of the city where the Dubbies babbled and cooed incoherantly and the Mary Sue stood in the middle of the pack. She turned and stated a bit blandly, "Miss Merry Mei sent me to stop you," she said as she held up her D-3 which was colored lavender. "MagnaGatomon!"
"MagnaGatomon armor-evolve!" In a gaudy light show, it changed form. "Neonefertimon!" It had blank eyes and didn't seem to shine with the spark of intelligance.
"This is going to be a breeze," remarked Black Ranger as he cracked his knuckles. A hand clasped on his shoulder.
"The girl's mine," Pink Ranger said, her tone disturbing and a bit more like Jon's on a good day. Black Ranger stepped back and Pink Ranger said, "Okay Mary Sue, you and me! Lets get this on!"
The Mary Sue nodded and pulled a sparkly pink sword out of nowhere. "Dubbies, attack," she intoned as the Dubbies swarmed towards the other DiaRangers.
"Sonic Wolf Howl!" shouted Black Ranger as the waves of sound ripped Dubbies to shreds. Drawing his PenBlade, he rushed into the melee, followed by the cries of Blue, Yellow and Green who had also activated their abilities and were making short work of the Dubbies.
As Pink Ranger ran towards her with PenBlade drawn, the Neonefertimon met her head on, bowling the Pink Ranger head over heels. "Ugh, forgot about you," Pink Ranger said, skidding to a halt. Bringing her hands in front of each other, guns appeared as the Neonefertimon stood in front of her, expression blank. "Bunny Blast!"
A thunderous detonation was heard, knocking friend and foe alike away with the shockwave. The Neonefertimon exploded into bits of data upon the force of the impact. The Mary Sue, seeming to gain some self awareness, screamed angrily, "You destroyed my partner!"
"Well duh, it was a bane on the Digimon fandom," replied Pink Ranger as her guns vanished.
The Mary Sue screamed angrily as her form changed into what appeared to be a female version of the Digimon Kaiser outfit. "Now you will suffer under the power of the Digimon Empress!" shouted the Sue, whip cracking.
"Oh this ought to be fun," remarked Green Ranger who ran up with the others after finishing off the Dubbies. "Lets take this Mary Sue down before she makes our heads explode with some wierd super power."
The fight seemed to be a bit more intense as the Mary Sue had increased her strength and speed. Her whip snapped out as she fought toe to toe with the DiaRangers. Yellow Ranger came behind her and struck her on the head. The Sue Monster growled and her whip burned a mark across his spandex. "Fuck!" Yellow Ranger shouted, stumbling backwards.
"Hi-ya!" shouted Black Ranger as he landed a kick to her chest. The Sue stumbled backwards as Blue and Green Rangers loosed their own personal attacks that knocked the Sue to the ground. She found herself staring into the muzzle of a gun. "Game over," said Pink as she shouted, "Bunny Blast!"
In a tremendous explosion, the Sue was blasted into bits, leaving behind a shining white crystal.
"Oh dearie me, that cannot do at all!" exclaimed Merry Mei as she sat down at her computer. "It's time to Edit!"
A long moment passed and there was a sound of wind passing by, despite the lack of atmosphere. "My queen, what happened? That was a longer pause than water dripping into a bucket!" exclaimed Reff.
"Oh my oh my," said Merry Mei as she shook her head. "It seems I can't make our pretty Mary Sue become large to defeat those naughty DiaRangers. My Edit Button is broken!"
"That was relatively simple," remarked Canis as he flipped the crystal up and down in his hand. It was then snatched by an irate Kyle-5.
"Don't break this!" exclaimed Kyle-5. "I ran an analysis on it and found it to be the essense of a helpless fanfiction writer!"
Kim snorted. "Helpless? She created a Mary Sue and got herself turned into one! How helpless is that?"
"I don't really give a care about this," snorted Jon. "The point is, how do we send them back so that we won't have to DEAL with the stupid Sue later?"
"When you deal with a Mary Sue monster, take the essence core and place it into the machine to the side," rumbled Archive. A large machine with a slot for the essense crystal stood to the side. "This machine will teleport the essence back to the world where it came from, and set up a barrier around the authors essence."
"So we won't have to deal with em again. Excellent." remarked Eric. "Now what?"
"Now, we wait. If Merry Mei has begun to grab fic writers from another world, it'll be chaos if the more powerful ones come here." Archive sighed. "Here's hoping they won't grab someone too uber."
"That's it for today. Read pages seventeen to twenty five for tommorows quiz."
Kim gathered up her stuff as she shuffled out of the classroom. Between the recent Sue Attack and what not, her muscles ached and her ears still rang with the detonation of the Bunny Blast. Not looking where she was going, she suddenly found herself on the floor, her books in a pile.
"Sorry," Kim grunted, looking up at the person she bumped into.
"Quite all right," chimed in a feminine voice. Kim then looked up into a pair of interesting eyes as they were brown, but the left one had a brown stripe running through the Iris. Gathering her books, the girl stood up and helped the Kim to her feet. "I wasn't looking anyways."
Kim looked at her curiously. "You're in my english class, right?"
"Yeah, I'm Brittany Chavez." The girl was very pale with thick brown hair tied up in a ponytail that seemed to defy gravity and was dressed normally in slacks and a t-shirt. "You done for the day?"
"Yeah, I am. I have this exam and I'm so behind since I enrolled late." replied Kim.
"That's all right. A lot of students do stuff like that." said Brittany.
Before Kim could call out, another voice, this one deeper and in a high Baritone called out. "Brittany! C'mon, the bus won't wait forever!"
Kim looked over at a large teenager with black hair and brown eyes. His hair was not long, but short and combed neatly so that it did not stick out in various positions. But it seemed that it was fighting a loosing battle with the air flows and his hands that went up to rest behind his head in a classic Anime leaning pose. "We'll have to walk home if we miss this one."
"You could use the walk," Brittany shot back. Kim had to agree. The teenager was a rather rounded person, but the way he moved suggested that he had a light grace that was uncommon amongst overweight people. When he walked forward, there was nary a sound.
"Sorry bout that. Brittany tends to be kinda slow when it comes to getting out of here." the teenager said with a grin. Brittany elbowed the teenager with a hiss of "Shaun!"
"It's no problem," replied Kim. "Is she your sister?"
Shaun laughed. "More like my roommate. And I don't care what you think of that, but between the two of us, we pay the rent. And don't let my looks fool you," he added, wagging a finger. "I'm twenty two years old."
Brittany rolled her eyes. "Shaun is always saying how his family looks young even into the fifties. In any case, it's nice meeting you." The pair shook hands and Shaun shook Kim's as he inclined his head respectfully.
"Same here," said Kim as the pair walked off.
"So... who was that?" Eric asked as he sidled up behind Kim. Kim jumped and bonked Eric on the head causing him to wince.
"Just a couple of classmates," said Kim, turning to leave with Eric on the next bus out to their apartment. "Nothing to worry about."

"Eh?" Archive snapped out of his daze as Kyle-5 glared up at him, hands on his metallic hips. "Those communicators you asked me to build are ready. Should I teleport the DiaRangers here?"
"In a minute," replied Archive a bit absently as the Viewing Globe focused in on girls in the school showers. Kyle threw up his hands and groaned.
"Teleporting now," Kyle said, punching in a sequence of buttons. In a flash of multicolored light and the skezzrch of teleportation, the five appeared in various manner. Jon, Eric and Canis seemed to be coming out of a light doze as they fell over from sleeping in class. Kim was in the process of handing something to someone and Ryan yelped and hurridly pulled his pants up from around his ankles.
Archive raised a non-existant eyebrow. "I don't want to know," he rumbled.
"Nice underwear," Kim remarked while pushing Ryan over who was stooping to grab his pants.
Before the situation could dissolve into a round of fighting, Kyle-5 interjected. "We brought you here to give you these communicators. They are vital so that we can contact you instead of teleporting you here blind." Handing out the communicators from a small box, Kyle stepped back as they strapped them on. "They are tied into the transporter system."
"Cool, free ride," Jon said. He then yawned mightily. "Man, I'm still on GMT."
Just then, the alarm went off. Startling visibly, Kyle-5 punched up the picture on the viewing screen, overriding Archive's half hearted protests. The Globe displayed a group of Dubbies in the middle of the city accompanied by what appeared to be a girl with something of an unearthly and etheral beauty. "Who is that?" asked Ryan as he tucked in his shirt.
"Merry Mei has sent down her first monster," said Archive who seemed to be checking something. "Apparently, she is a Mary Sue."
The Authors did a collective shudder. "That would explain the wierd looking digimon she's got," said Eric as her digimon looked like a more "cool" version of Tailmon. "I've seen some fangirl stuff before but this takes the cake."
"Her Mary Sue is named Lily with no given last name," Archive rumbled. "But apparently, she is supposed to be the cousin of Taichi and Hikari with the supposed last name of Kamiya or Yagami. Her D-3 grants her MagnaGatomon with multiple forms and apparently, is supposed to be the last hope of the Digi-destined."
"Sounds like some Mary Sue ass kicking is needed," said Kim, an evil and sinister grin on her face.
"Go now," said Archive. "The fight awaits. Don't get killed, you hear?"
"Loud and clear oh giant floating head," said Jon as Canis reached behind his back, the others following.
"Power of Hentai!" shouted Canis as they brought forth their Morphers.
In a flash of light, the five teleported into the middle of the city where the Dubbies babbled and cooed incoherantly and the Mary Sue stood in the middle of the pack. She turned and stated a bit blandly, "Miss Merry Mei sent me to stop you," she said as she held up her D-3 which was colored lavender. "MagnaGatomon!"
"MagnaGatomon armor-evolve!" In a gaudy light show, it changed form. "Neonefertimon!" It had blank eyes and didn't seem to shine with the spark of intelligance.
"This is going to be a breeze," remarked Black Ranger as he cracked his knuckles. A hand clasped on his shoulder.
"The girl's mine," Pink Ranger said, her tone disturbing and a bit more like Jon's on a good day. Black Ranger stepped back and Pink Ranger said, "Okay Mary Sue, you and me! Lets get this on!"
The Mary Sue nodded and pulled a sparkly pink sword out of nowhere. "Dubbies, attack," she intoned as the Dubbies swarmed towards the other DiaRangers.
"Sonic Wolf Howl!" shouted Black Ranger as the waves of sound ripped Dubbies to shreds. Drawing his PenBlade, he rushed into the melee, followed by the cries of Blue, Yellow and Green who had also activated their abilities and were making short work of the Dubbies.
As Pink Ranger ran towards her with PenBlade drawn, the Neonefertimon met her head on, bowling the Pink Ranger head over heels. "Ugh, forgot about you," Pink Ranger said, skidding to a halt. Bringing her hands in front of each other, guns appeared as the Neonefertimon stood in front of her, expression blank. "Bunny Blast!"
A thunderous detonation was heard, knocking friend and foe alike away with the shockwave. The Neonefertimon exploded into bits of data upon the force of the impact. The Mary Sue, seeming to gain some self awareness, screamed angrily, "You destroyed my partner!"
"Well duh, it was a bane on the Digimon fandom," replied Pink Ranger as her guns vanished.
The Mary Sue screamed angrily as her form changed into what appeared to be a female version of the Digimon Kaiser outfit. "Now you will suffer under the power of the Digimon Empress!" shouted the Sue, whip cracking.
"Oh this ought to be fun," remarked Green Ranger who ran up with the others after finishing off the Dubbies. "Lets take this Mary Sue down before she makes our heads explode with some wierd super power."
The fight seemed to be a bit more intense as the Mary Sue had increased her strength and speed. Her whip snapped out as she fought toe to toe with the DiaRangers. Yellow Ranger came behind her and struck her on the head. The Sue Monster growled and her whip burned a mark across his spandex. "Fuck!" Yellow Ranger shouted, stumbling backwards.
"Hi-ya!" shouted Black Ranger as he landed a kick to her chest. The Sue stumbled backwards as Blue and Green Rangers loosed their own personal attacks that knocked the Sue to the ground. She found herself staring into the muzzle of a gun. "Game over," said Pink as she shouted, "Bunny Blast!"
In a tremendous explosion, the Sue was blasted into bits, leaving behind a shining white crystal.
"Oh dearie me, that cannot do at all!" exclaimed Merry Mei as she sat down at her computer. "It's time to Edit!"
A long moment passed and there was a sound of wind passing by, despite the lack of atmosphere. "My queen, what happened? That was a longer pause than water dripping into a bucket!" exclaimed Reff.
"Oh my oh my," said Merry Mei as she shook her head. "It seems I can't make our pretty Mary Sue become large to defeat those naughty DiaRangers. My Edit Button is broken!"
"That was relatively simple," remarked Canis as he flipped the crystal up and down in his hand. It was then snatched by an irate Kyle-5.
"Don't break this!" exclaimed Kyle-5. "I ran an analysis on it and found it to be the essense of a helpless fanfiction writer!"
Kim snorted. "Helpless? She created a Mary Sue and got herself turned into one! How helpless is that?"
"I don't really give a care about this," snorted Jon. "The point is, how do we send them back so that we won't have to DEAL with the stupid Sue later?"
"When you deal with a Mary Sue monster, take the essence core and place it into the machine to the side," rumbled Archive. A large machine with a slot for the essense crystal stood to the side. "This machine will teleport the essence back to the world where it came from, and set up a barrier around the authors essence."
"So we won't have to deal with em again. Excellent." remarked Eric. "Now what?"
"Now, we wait. If Merry Mei has begun to grab fic writers from another world, it'll be chaos if the more powerful ones come here." Archive sighed. "Here's hoping they won't grab someone too uber."
"That's it for today. Read pages seventeen to twenty five for tommorows quiz."
Kim gathered up her stuff as she shuffled out of the classroom. Between the recent Sue Attack and what not, her muscles ached and her ears still rang with the detonation of the Bunny Blast. Not looking where she was going, she suddenly found herself on the floor, her books in a pile.
"Sorry," Kim grunted, looking up at the person she bumped into.
"Quite all right," chimed in a feminine voice. Kim then looked up into a pair of interesting eyes as they were brown, but the left one had a brown stripe running through the Iris. Gathering her books, the girl stood up and helped the Kim to her feet. "I wasn't looking anyways."
Kim looked at her curiously. "You're in my english class, right?"
"Yeah, I'm Brittany Chavez." The girl was very pale with thick brown hair tied up in a ponytail that seemed to defy gravity and was dressed normally in slacks and a t-shirt. "You done for the day?"
"Yeah, I am. I have this exam and I'm so behind since I enrolled late." replied Kim.
"That's all right. A lot of students do stuff like that." said Brittany.
Before Kim could call out, another voice, this one deeper and in a high Baritone called out. "Brittany! C'mon, the bus won't wait forever!"
Kim looked over at a large teenager with black hair and brown eyes. His hair was not long, but short and combed neatly so that it did not stick out in various positions. But it seemed that it was fighting a loosing battle with the air flows and his hands that went up to rest behind his head in a classic Anime leaning pose. "We'll have to walk home if we miss this one."
"You could use the walk," Brittany shot back. Kim had to agree. The teenager was a rather rounded person, but the way he moved suggested that he had a light grace that was uncommon amongst overweight people. When he walked forward, there was nary a sound.
"Sorry bout that. Brittany tends to be kinda slow when it comes to getting out of here." the teenager said with a grin. Brittany elbowed the teenager with a hiss of "Shaun!"
"It's no problem," replied Kim. "Is she your sister?"
Shaun laughed. "More like my roommate. And I don't care what you think of that, but between the two of us, we pay the rent. And don't let my looks fool you," he added, wagging a finger. "I'm twenty two years old."
Brittany rolled her eyes. "Shaun is always saying how his family looks young even into the fifties. In any case, it's nice meeting you." The pair shook hands and Shaun shook Kim's as he inclined his head respectfully.
"Same here," said Kim as the pair walked off.
"So... who was that?" Eric asked as he sidled up behind Kim. Kim jumped and bonked Eric on the head causing him to wince.
"Just a couple of classmates," said Kim, turning to leave with Eric on the next bus out to their apartment. "Nothing to worry about."
