Part 4 "Muses and General"

Note: Every Anime character in this chapter that's not Gohan is a muse.  The current list (just so you don't get them confused with muses) of authors that should be in this is: Fancy Face, Ki-Ball, D.Angel, Vejita-Girl, Chuquita, and Spooky and Makaveli will make their appearance.  Also don't be surprised if Ash the Wanderer makes his appearance sometime in the future… he gave me his permission to be in this.  A list of authors' muses is at the end.

A/N: Sorry this isn't in Paladone's style, I wrote most of this while my dad was taking a ride in an ambulance to the hospital, and I couldn't go… so I needed to do something.  I'll try and get it back to Paladone's style in the next chapter.

Familiar ran down the hall as fast as his paws would carry him.  The little black kitten was on a mission, escape the insane watchdog Fido that he had managed to piss off.  Taking a turn to fast he slid on the smooth stones of the corridor and wound up skidding into someone's legs.  Squeezing his eyes shut Familiar's life flashed before his eyes and he tensed his little body.  Fido ran closer and closer.

"Get lost dog." Someone said.

Fido suddenly let out a whimper and Familiar got up the courage to open his eyes.  Duo smiled at the little kitten in his hands, the kitten had been too scared to even notice he was being picked up.

"You ok?" The 15 year old braided American asked.

"I am now." The kitten said and walked up his arm to get right next to Duo's ear, "Have you seen DA?"

"We haven't seen any of the authors since the site went down for the splitting." Heero said as he walked up to the group.

"Run!" Kento screamed as he ran by. The Gundam pilots and kitten watched as the Ronin ran down the hallway and vanished into a room.

"Whatcha think that was about?" Duo asked.

"I really don't want to know." Heero answered.

The group of three muses had just gotten ready to set off to try and find their authors when someone walked up to them.

"Stop right there!" the person ordered them.

"Why?" Duo asked.

The three muses watched as they where surrounded.

"There's a new 'no muse' rule on this site, you're all under arrest for being muses."

"That has got to be the dumbest thing I've ever heard." Duo told him.  Familiar agreed.

"Sorry, you know rules, now come with us or we'll have to take extreme measures." The person said and the muses found themselves being forced to the lower levels of FanFiction.Net.

***

Gohan and Dot watched as the muses where arrested from one of the upper levels.

"What just happened?" the boy asked the floating dot.

"Must be a new rule on the site." Dot told him, "This is really not good."

"Why not?"

"Well muses are supposed to help authors write.  Plus I don't want you to be mistaken for a muse." Dot answered, "I wonder why they decided to do this now?" Dot mused.

Dot led the boy down the ladder to the bottom level as soon as the area looked safe.

"Where to now?" Gohan asked.

"General section, we need to see three fics."

Gohan sighed and followed Dot.

***

Steven smiled as he watched from a balcony as various muses where brought in.  Get rid of the fictional characters and he believed Gohan would be easer to find.  He knew the boy was on the server somewhere, but unfortunately this time he wasn't blowing up anything, and that was making him harder to find.

With a grunt of anger he left his balcony and traveled through his office and out into the stone hallway.  At the rate they where going Gohan would never be caught.

"Mr. Savage, we found him!" a random tech said as he ran up.

"Good, lead me to him."

***

"This is an injustice!" Wufei screamed.

"Well Wufei what do you want us to do about it?" Ryo asked.  The leader of the Ronin Warriors glanced around the room, of his group Cye and Sage had also been captured.  The staff had thought throwing all of the muses in one room would be a good idea.

The door opened and Duo, Heero and Familiar joined the room.

"Nice to see you again Duo." Wufei muttered.

Duo smiled at him, "Nice to see I'm loved." He then glanced at Ryo, "Oh Ryo, Kento ran past us… I think he was looking for Fancy."

"Well let's hope someone gets to the authors." Chibi-Veji muttered unhappily.

****

"Come on." Fancy whispered as she crept from the room she had taken shelter in.

"I don't think you have to whisper." Showndra told her and walked past her friend.

"Well where do we go now?"

"How about finding other authors and our muses." Showndra suggested while looking at Pippin.

The Hobbit said nothing and the two girls set off to find other authors.

***

Ki-Ball glanced at Vejita-Girl in confusion, "Why would anyone abandon their account?"

"Who knows." DA said, and was cut off as Kento ran into the room, looked around and passed out.

"Well that was random." Makaveli said as she too entered the room.

"Room getting a little crowded?" a strange creature asked.

"Who are you?" Chuquita asked.

"Who me?" It asked and smiled.

"Yeah you." Chuquita responded.

"Well I'm Chibi scythe-wielding bat Duo." The bat like thing said.

"Who?" DA asked, begging to get annoyed. 

"Oh just call me CSWB Duo." He told them, "Have you seen Spooky?"

"Who?" Vejita-Girl asked.

"My author!" the bat thing said getting frustrated.

"So you're a muse?" Makaveli asked.

CSWB Duo began to look frustrated, "I am a muse, I am looking for my author because the staff decided that muses should not be allowed on the site.  Now can you help me find my author before I am caught and arrested like the other muses?"

"The other muses where caught?!" Ki-Ball asked.

"Yeah that's what I wanted to tell you." Kento said from the ground as he pulled himself up.

"Well what are we waiting for?" Ki-Ball asked and left the room.

"Where is she going?" DA asked.

"I don't know." Vejita-Girl said watching Ki-Ball leave.

"We may as well follow her…" Chuquita said with a sigh.

Makaveli watched the other girls leave the room fallowing Ki-Ball, along with the two muses, then shrugged and followed them.

****

Gohan and Dot entered the 'General' room.  Gohan had tried to prepare himself for the utter chaos it had been before, and he was amazed to find the area was now calmer than it had been.

The various authors that where in the room where so in groused in their fics that they didn't even look up when the pair looked up.

Dot led the boy to a free computer and the pair watched as fics flashed across the screen.

"Any preference on what fic you see?"

"It doesn't matter." Gohan muttered and settled down in a chair to endure his torture.  Dot shrugged and picked a fic.

'Lost Saiya-jin Prince' by: CookieMonster2525

"Why do I think this is going to be about Vegeta?" Gohan muttered to himself.

The fic began to play out and Gohan watched as a young Trunks ran away from his home on Planet Vegeta because Vegeta was mean to him.  The boy then ran into a unicorn who revealed it was somehow or another Trunks' mother.  Taking 10 chapters the unicorn proved that Vegeta really loved his son and that Trunks had the knowledge to one day make Vegeta proud of him.

"That was weird." Gohan said, confusion was on the pre-teens' face.

"But it didn't make you mad did it?" Dot asked.

"No, I like it!" Gohan told him, a smile broke out on the boy's face.

"Ok then we have two more." Dot said and pulled up the next fic.

'I Don't Want to Cry' By: Touma's Ghost

"Sounds sad." The boy mused.

The fic started out with Krillin and Android 18 watching as their daughter, Marian, got married to someone named Goten to looked remarkably like Goku.  At some point Gohan had decided for the sake of his sanity to just accept any new people that showed up in these 'fics', so he didn't question who Goten was.  The fic jumped from watching Krillin and 18 to Goku and Chichi, both of which where talking about grandchildren.  The author managed to drag out the deaths of each of the characters for a chapter per death, which Gohan found disturbing, she then showed Marian holding Goten's hand.  She told him she loved him and took one last breath then stopped breathing.  Goten's scream broke the air… and the fic ended.

"That was sad." Gohan said, glancing away from the screen to where Dot had fallen asleep.  He reached over and shook the Dot.

"Hmm?  What's going on?"

"You fell asleep." Gohan said, a little annoyed.

"Oh sorry." Dot said and yawned, "That sappy stuff makes me sleepy."

"Well if I can't fall asleep than nether can you."

"You only have one more than we can leave here." Dot told him and punched up a random fic.

'Shinigami's Bad Day' By: Maxwell's little helper

Gohan shrugged and started to watch the fic.

Duo walked from his Gundam and glanced around the new strange area.  'Ok, what the hell am I doing here?' he asked the air.

"Well I need you to do something for me God of Death." A voice told him.

"What is it?" Duo asked.

"Kill someone.  His name is Son Goku."

"Why should I kill someone I don't know?" Duo asked.

"If you don't then you will never leave this world."

Duo thought about it for a second than decided as much fun as this place looked there was no way he could ever leave his Hilde.  Nodding once he agreed to do the job.

It was somewhere at that point Gohan began to wonder what the authors where thinking when they wrote some of this stuff.  He and Dot watched as Duo meant Goku and the others and reviled his mission to them.

"Goku look I'm sorry, but I need to get home." Duo told Goku, worry clear in his violet eyes.

"Hey it's ok Duo, I know you want to go home." Goku told him and got ready to be killed for the sake of the teens future.

Glancing once back at the Saiyan hero Duo jumped into DeathScythe and turned the Gundam on.  Cursing his title as 'Shinigami' Duo prepared to kill a man greater than he could ever be.

To Be Continued!!!

Gohan groaned and slid back in his chair.

"That one was getting good too." He muttered.

"Yes, well, lets go… we need to hit several more sections.

***

Steven Savage smiled as he entered the room his tech had led him to.  The rooms one occupant gazed up at him from the chair he had been sitting in.

"Nice to see you again Ash the Wanderer." Steven said, a cruel smile breaking out on his face as he gazed at the author.
