The Animator
I don't own any of the Love Hina characters.
Chapter 4: The Decision
"Exactly how is it that you can beat Motoko in a sword fight?" Yumi asked as we sped down hallways. "Especially as you've never even picked up a sword in the Real World"
"I can edit my profile in the Anime worlds" I told him as I looked for Su's room.
Writer's Note: What Koji's talking about is his character description. If you've ever Role Played as a made up, you know what I'm talking about. Another of the Animator's abilities is held by an accessory called the Made-up Mod. Since the Anime worlds aren't the friendliest of places, and most people don't know how to effectively defend themselves from their unusual dangers, this attachment allows the user to create a new description of himself, letting him do things he never could before; mastery of the sword for example. The user can edit a new profile for each world, with the restriction of making yourself invincible or forcing yourself into someone's memory. The Animator's powerful, but not that powerful. Now, back to the story.
"Oh" he said, but an explosion coming form further down the hallway drowned his voice out. We walked up to the room and saw the door lying in the hallway.
"This is Su's room" I told Yumi as I walked in. "Odd choice of interior decorations" Yumi commented when he saw her room, looking like someone just dropped a rain forest into her room. Su was in the back in her Gundam-Type Mecha.
"What's up Su?" I called when I got close enough. She turned, saw us and jumped out. "Heya Koji! Did ya bring me any bananas?" I laughed "That's just like you Su. What was that explosion just now?"
"I was fighting that turtle," she said, smiling. I rolled my eyes "On a more important note, the Animator broke" Her happy face quickly changed to anger at hearing this. "You broke it? I spent weeks fixing it the first time you got stuck here!"
"I know, but I think it's only the TED this time"
"Fine" she sighed "but promise me ya won't break it again, Ok?"
"I'll try not to" I said, taking the Animator off my wrist and handing it to her "I'll be back in an hour or so, alright? Me and Yumi over there need lunch. Su waved at Yumi. "Hi" Yumi said as he waved back. "The kitchen's this way" I said "Follow me"
---------
We were eating the sandwiches fixed up for lunch when Yumi asked "How come Su knows about that thing, but no one else does?"
"Because that thing is dangerous" I told him "I only tell the most technologically minded person in each world about it, and even then only so I'd have help fixing it if it broke"
"How's it dangerous?" Yumi inquired "It lets you visit the worlds of Anime. You could make a fortune off of it!"
"Did you forget about your little mishap in the hot springs just a while ago?" he started to open his mouth to say something, but he closed it, and hung his head. "See? It's dangerous here. Anywhere in the Anime worlds. You can die here you know, this place is as real as the Real world. Besides, don't you watch the anime shows? Some evil dude would find some way to use the Animator to try to take over the worlds or something"
"I get it" he sighed, "Anime worlds are dangerous, keep the Animator secret" then looked up and smiled "But… I still wanna see em. The worlds and people that were used to create our favorite shows."
I couldn't help but smile too. "I thought you'd say that." I stood up "Then let's get the Animator and go on a grand tour of the Anime worlds my friend!" Yumi stood up, and nodded "Yeah!" Then, the idea seemed so full of promise and excitement. How could I have known how badly it would end up?
---------------------------------
Wow suspense! It's even getting to me and I'm writing it. Oh yeah, I'm not sure how many chapters they'll be, but all the worls are listed in the second chapter plus I've decided to include Chobits World. It'll help my plot along.
