Lost in Hammerspace Ch. 3 : Opening doorways
--Well here's a new chapter allready they may not be that frequently coming but at least its not gonna be as long as before. Talon-san i'd appreciate it if you or any of the T2M clan would read this--
Disclaimer: I don't own Love Hina or Star Trek
I'm also making sure Talon-san approves of this as he is one of the main Characters
"How does she always manage to sleep so soundly." Talon wondered as he carried Mutsumi up the front stairs of this Hinata-sou. While a grumbling Naru trailed a few steps behind him.
"Well at least its better than when she used to drop dead all the time"
"I suppose you've got a point there but I wish she'd at least wake up. Anyway have you noticed that we don't seem to be reaching the top of the stairs even though we've been climing for a while now."
"Hm..., i've climbed up this staircase a hundred times and it's never taken this long before. This isn't a staircase it's an esclator and it's trying to get in my way."
"You know what Naru as much as I hate to admit you're right, they are moving "
"Yea so what, i'm not about to let some stupid staircase get in my way. I'll just have to beat some sense into it." Naru said as she powered up her trademark super punch.
Talon was about to stop Naru but was blown back by the energy being emitted by her battle aura. After a few minutes of said aura flaring and Naru cackeling like she was possesed he decided that running would be a good idea. Talon got himself and Mutsumi about a good fifty feet away before getting caught by the explosion.
When the smoke cleared Talon and Naru were staggering around swirly eyed and slightly extra crispy in the rubble of the neighborhood around this Hinata House. Mutsumi was nowhere to be found as she had been thrown upward towards the building. Naru was jolted back to reality when Talon fell on top of her in the worst way possible. After the prerequesite screaming of the word pervert and a hypersonic flight on Air Naru poor Talon found himself leaving a corridor of wheretiger shaped holes as he rocketed through numerous buildings. After a couple hundred kilometers of flight time he picked himself out of the crater he'd made in Mount Fugi and started on his way back.
Meanwhile Keitaro was about to sneak out the the way that he had come in when he heard a loud explosion followed by Naru's voice yelling pevert. He was soon curled into a ball shaking in terror so he was reasonably well protected when Mutsumi came flying through a hole in the wall and into him. Not realizing someone was on top of him Keitaro tried to stand up but wound up falling on top of her. This was what finally woke her up and seeing him Mutsumi grabbed his face and started to kiss him.
"Kei-kun its so good to see you, I was so worried that Naru-san had finally seriously injured you this time." Mutsumi said as she released the kiss.
"Wah...,Mutsumi where'd you come from" Keitaro said as he skittered away from her.
"Well after Naru-sans temper got you lost, Talon and Naru-san decided to rescue you and I came along because I was worried. After we fell through a tunnel filled with pretty lights Talon brought us to this planet in his spaceship. After we got to the ground Talon and Naru-san got into another silly fight and I got knocked out. Next thing I knew I was here with you and I was so happy."
"Okay, that sort of explained how you got here and what caused that explosion. Though i'd like to know exactly what's up with this room."
"Oh Kei-kun look out the window the sunrise over the Hinata skyline is so pretty let's go have a picnic."
"We're back in Hinata ? That can't be we're on another planet" Keitaro asked as he walked over to the window and looked out.
"Guess your right Mutsumi" he said shrugging.
While Keitaro was staring out the window Mutsumi started to examine the doors, smiling at each one, and blushed when she came to one paticular door. The reason being it said : What if Keitaro marries Mutsumi? She peeked in the door and saw herself in a wedding dress walking down the aisle with Keitaro, looking for Naru she saw her tied to a tree kicking and screaming.
"WAUGH!" At that point Keitaro finally noticed what was happening and paniced. Within a few he had seconds grabbed Mutsumi and run out the exit door fast enough to leave scorch marks on the floor.
A/N : It figures, Dorktaro isn't going to pick one of the girls no matter how easy the choice is made for him.
Once outside they found themselves in a series of corridors identical to the ones in Hinata-sou. As they wandered around the hallways looking for a way outside they opened up random doors and looked inside to find rooms containing nothing but a large bulletin board.
In one door was a room was a bulletin board talying up the 3,176 times Keitaro had been knocked into low earth orbit. Another room showed all of the times he had "accidentally" walked in on his tennants.
"My, Kei-kun you certainly seem to be popular around here"
"Yea thanks now i'm more than a little creeped out. Let's get out of here fast" Keitaro said as he left the room and started of in a direction he decided was north.
Eventually they came to a door labled Directory that looked like could be of some use. When Keitaro opened it there was a bright flash of light and he and Mutsumi we're sucked through. When they came to they found themselves standing on a giant webpage with a white background and covered with odd names.
A/N : Oh great Talon-san's gonna be mad Keitaro and Mutsumi fell clear out of the storyline.
Talon was coming up on the staircase to the Hinata-sou which had reformed along with the surrounding neighborhood when he heard a voice out of thin air beside him.
"Um..., Talon-san I know the it's not good form for a rookie author to talk to characters in mid-story but I kinda missplaced Keitaro and Mutsumi."
"Okay but could you form into a character Naru's gonna think i'm talking to myself."
The air shimmers and a man about 211cm tall with grey hair dressed in a dark blue and black outfit appears.
"I was trying to get Keitaro into a situation where he'd see what a good partner Mutsumi would make. He caught on to soon and got the two of them out so fast they wound up in my notespace. After reading some of my notes Keitaro got freaked out and wound up falling out of the storyline."
"Two questions; first you're the author didn't you know what was going to happen at least a little bit in advance. Second what do you mean by falling out of the storyline."
"Well I like to keep a random element in my writing and this time it got a little out of hand. To put it simply the're wandering around in the directory of fanfiction authors."
Talon glared at GSPhoenix and said " okay i'll fix it you'd better get out of here before the fourth wall gets anymore holes in it."
"Gotcha, i'm gone but i'll leave you with a present or two as there's a slight chance if you or they go to far you could reach the reach the real world and you know how bland that place can be. The hoops is a exit gate, keep that pendant to yourself it's a crystalized piece of super compressed authorspace. " GSPhoenix said as he faded out leaving the items behind.
"Great, i've got quite an adventure shaping up here, better find Naru." and with that Talon picked up the hoop and pendant and headed on his way.
