1(Author's Note: Yes gang, Under a big amount of suggestion, I have decided to continue The Odyssey Of Amarao here on Now anyone here who reminds me that this was posted by MrLostman on PSOWorld, yeah, I know. Face it gang, its pretty well proven, I was using the alias Mr.Lostman to write PSO fanfiction again. Now I have basically given that up and I am bringing this story over. For background, this fic is basically a crossover between Zero Wing and Phantasy Star Online, which is done in my with my own flair. This fic has many musical bouts and references in it, which was a new thing for me. So yeah, do look for an update to this at some point, but I got other fish to fry. But I do hope you enjoy my take on this concept. Enjoy.)

The Odyssey Of Amarao

Chapter One: The Zigs Of Doom

The skies above Ragol where furious with anger as Pioneer 2 defense forces were clashing with strange fighters called Zigs. A devilish being called Cats had finally used his Plan 9 and was attacking Ragol, for some strange reason. This brings us to the protagonist of our story, Commander Amarao Dethmar. Amaro was a commander of Pioneer 2's air defenses, the head of the Screaming Arlans. We now join his battleship, the Endostar Runner, and him an a patrol.

"Hmm. Im bored...", said Amarao. "Patrols are boring. Hmm thats it! Maddy! Play Kung Fu Fighting!"

The RAmarl looked up from her control panel and groaned. "Ahh but Commander Amarao, I hate that song!"

"Fine, don't do it.", said Amarao sternly. "What would you suggest, Maddy?"

"Instant Music.", replied Maddy with a smile, getting out the file. "The Pillows kick ass."

"Ooh sounds good!", said Amarao, who was getting ready to sing the chorus. "Instant music! sekai chuu ni afure kodomotachi wa oboreteru, Diet Music! hora muchuu ni natte, kutabacchi maeyo!"

Maddy soon chimed in singing, "Manyuaruu-raifu no animaru, nabigeeto sarete happii, kaunseraa no sasayaki wa O.K."

Neither Maddy nor Amarao noticed that the other two crew members, Odie and Carlos, where both giving them strange looks. Suddenly Odie, being the music loving guitar player he was, bust out of his chair, ripped out a Crazy Tune and started playing the opening of Stairway to Heaven.

"Dude, Odie!", said Carlos. "I didn't know you played the guitar!"

Odie looked at the short little Hucast, laughed and said, "Yes, we have been crew mates for a year and you just realized that?"

Before the two could say anymore Maddy chimed in and shouted, "Commander Amarao! We are getting a signal!"

"From who?", asked Amarao. "Put it on the screen."

"How are you gentlemen?", asked the man on the screen.

"It's really choppy!", shouted Maddy. "I think we might lose it!"

"All your.....", the man on the screen said, the signal cutting out. "Are belong to us."

"All your what?", shouted Odie, freaking out. "All your what are belong to us?"

"It came from a enemy ship, sir.", said Carlos. "What should we do?"

Amarao sat back in his chair, stroking his chin as if he was thinking. The ship fell silent for two minutes till Maddy got up and waved a hand in front of his face.

"Hello?", asked Maddy. "Commander Amarao! Wake up. What do you want us to do?"

"Make me some waffles.", replied Amarao, still in a trance. He quickly snapped out of it and said, "Shoot it! Hit it with our special electrostatic missiles!"

"Uh, Commander Amarao. We don't have anymore.", said Odie. "Carlos here traded em for tacos."

"And they were damn good tacos too!", shouted Carlos.

"Are there any tacos left?", asked Amarao.

Carlos looked up at Amarao and replied, "We ate them all. Remember when we had taco night last week?"

Amarao picked up a flight helmet lying on the floor and tossed it at Carlos. "Damn it Carlos! Since when can a HUcast eat tacos anyway?"

"Commander Amarao, we have bigger problems right now!", said Maddy. "A squardren of Zig are coming at us!"

"Well that wouldn't be such a problem if El Carlos didn't like his tacos so damn much!", snapped Amarao. "Now, just shoot whatever the hell we have left at the damn things and set a course for Sector 8-R!"

The Zig were fast approaching, just as the Endostar Runner unleashed everything it had, minus the electrostatic missiles that Carlos had traded for tacos. Zig started falling left and right as they were pumped full of hot photon. While firing, the Endostar Runner took off like a scared little girl who had just walked in on her parents making love.

"For the love of all thats fried and crispy make us go faster El Carlos!", shouted Odie. "Im too young to die!"

"This is gonna be close!", said Maddy. "Commander, Im putting on Crazy Train to make the mood better."

"Im going off the rails in a crazy train!", sung Amarao, clutching his chair's armrest as the Endostar Runner boosted.

"YES!", shouted Odie, banging his head. "OZZY! OZZY! OZZY!"

Just when things couldn't get worse for the crew of the Endostar Runner, the air conditioner broke. And oh yeah, an enemy mother ship was right in front of them.

"Damn AC!", shouted Odie, hitting the air duct. "Carlos! It was your job to fix that you damned deformed trash can!"

"Maddy!", said Amarao. "Take us up! We will make the Zig crash into the ship in front of us! Most original idea ever!"

"Uh, Commander, its been done.", said Maddy. "But I will do it anyway."

Suddenly, the ship took a hit from a stray laser fired from a Zig. The computer now said "Self Destruct in, 5...4..."

"STUPID PIECE OF SHIT!", shouted Amarao, kicking his computer console. "NOT NOW!"

The computer now said, "Just playing with yea, boss!"

Amarao started to speak but was cut off as the ship dodged the mother ship, which took heavy damage from the Zig fleet smashing into it.

"We are safe....", sighed Carlos. "But for how long?"

"Your not safe at all, El Carlos!", shouted Amarao, who was now out of his seat chasing the HUcast around the bridge. "Just wait till I get my hands on you!"
