Disclaimer: I don't own FFVII, but I did steal some of the characters souls *big grin*

A/N: Well this took me awhile. I know I should have updated a lot sooner, but I kinda spent some time tweaking my computer because it was running really slow and that took a lot longer than expected as it seemed everything that could go wrong did. Then my brother started to spend all of his time on the Internet so I couldn't get on. Anyways I'll thank my reviewers silvawolf and Haruko-2020 now and get on with the fic.

Story: Like you don't already know

Chapter Nineteen (the sequel to chapter 18): Sometimes a little bit of brain damage can be a GOOD thing

The characters were all still shocked by what was going on in the ring and the author got hit by another pig (I'm going to kill Naraku....slowly). As if things weren't bad enough, the insanity was getting worse. Now that the ring was half-flooded with Ramen, Inuyahsa and Sephiroth did the strangest thing. They started to get into a sissy fight (I'd describe what that's like, but it's really hard and I can't think of a good way to describe it so I hope you all know what I mean by that). Well the characters were mesmerized by the stupidity happening in the ring and the author was trying to get out from under the pig, something was happening somewere else.

In Hojo's super secret underground labaoratory, something sinister was happening. Hojo had just managed to finish repairing the karoke maching (the HORROR!!!). Oh and the OOC virus was injected into the fic. As the virus made its way through the fic, the characters started to feel funny. After they were done staring at the "fight" in the ring, the characters started to wander off. Just then, C.B. was able to escape from his pig-like prison.

"Hey, where the hell is everyone going?" C.B. said, then his author senses kicked in and he knew what the problem was. As the author sat there contemplating what to do know that the OOC virus had infected the characters. "To videotape or not to videotape, that is the question" C.B. said well decided whether or not to tape how the charcters act. Then something started to walk towards the author. Slowly a hand reached out and tapped the author on the shoulder. The author spun around and screamed "AAAAAHHHHHHH!!!! ZOMBIES!!!" before realized he was looking at the now confused Cloud and Tifa. As they continued to stare at him, C.B. just nervously said "Guess I've been playing to much Resident Evil".

They both nodded while continuing to give the author weird looks. Then they decided to ask what the hell was going on.

"What the hell's going on?" Cloud asked (See, what did I tell you.........cheese is good!). The author just thought about how to word what he was about to say to them. Then he made up his mind.

"The sky is blue" C.B. said happily. More stares from Cloud and Tifa. "Oh and Hojo injected the fic with another virus" C.B. added, hoping to make sound dramatic. Cloud and Tifa where still staring at the author like he had a few screws loose (loose?!? I'm appalled! They should know by now that the screws aren't loose, there gone!). "I think it's an OOC virus, but I'm not sure" the author continued saying, not noticing that Cloud and Tifa were staring at him.

"A what virus?" Cloud asked, slighty confused since he didn't know what OOC means.

"An Out-Of-Character virus" that author answeared him.

"And what does that do?" Cloud asked again since, being a game character himself, he had no idea what OOC is.

"It makes you do things you wouldn't really do, like those fics were Vincent is happy" the author answered. "Anyways, we need to see if any of the other characters are immune to it like you two are" the author added and with that said they wandered off, aimlessly looking for the other characters. When they finally found one of them, they were horrified by what they saw. Out in some fields around the stadium they saw something that would scar anyone for life.

Vincent Valentine was frolicking amongst the flowers. As if that wasn't bad enough, he had apparently decided a change of cloths was in order. Vincent was now wearing all white, with the exception of his cape which was pink. Yes pink. His golden claw even had flower drawings on it. I know it's horrifiying isn't it? As the characters were about to approach Vincent and try to snap him out of it, the author stopped them.

"That wouldn't be a good idea" He said and when they both gave him questioning looks he contiuned talking "He's obviously to OOC for us to help him until we get rid of the source of the virus" He said and when they nodded he added something else "Oh and all this OOCness probably turned him gay, so I'd suggest you stay away from him Cloud, unless of course you want him to act out some Yaoi scenes on you" the author finally finished talking after saying that. Cloud's face turned green and he ran off, with Tifa and the other quickly following him...

Priview for Next Chapter:

More of the characters OOC sides are shown! Can the now greatly reduced group of heros and the author stop Hojo's plan, or are the characters doomed to a life as OOC freaks? Stay tuned to find out in the next exciting chapter of "SWORDSMAN TOURNAMENT"

A/N: First I wanna aplogize for taking so long to update. I wound up being really busy preparing for what to do when I get out of high school and I tweaked my computer so it would run faster. Also I was kinda in a bad mood for a long time and I didn't wanna write anything well I was like that. Oh and sorry for picking on Vincent so much and also sorry to any Yaoi writers who were offended by me saying it was OOC, but I just don't like the stuff. Also I won't pick on Vincent anymore and I won't make him stay like that for very long so don't worry about it. Anyways, till next time, Bye Everybody!
