Minutes before Keitaro was unceremoniously knocked out of the hot springs and into orbit, Kitsune sat alone in her room, feeling amused at the latest trick she had just pulled on Keitaro. She didn't really want to be so mean to him, but each time she looked at the guy's face which just screamed 'I'M A COWARD SO BULLY ME', Kitsune just couldn't resist either extorting money out of him, sending him to where Motoko or Naru was changing, or sending him to the hot springs when she knew full well that both bitched were in there. Still, she couldn't believe how moronic Naru and Motoko were if they believed that the guy would really be so stupid to keep on peeping on them after the first few tries. Hell, even a retard would know when to back off. Apparently, the bitches saw Keitaro as something less than a retard, which was partly true, by the way.

Anyway, Kitsune had earlier ordered Keitaro to go buy some bottles of Sake for her, handing him some of the money she had even earlier that day extorted out of him. Said bottles of cheap Sake were lying in front of her and she was finishing getting piss drunk on them. Lifting up the last bottle up to her mouth to drink, Kitsune was startled by the high-pitched scream that came from the direction of the direction of you – know – where and split the entire bottle of Sake down her shirt. She raised her head and looked out of the window just in time to see Keitaro flying out of the inn grounds towards the great beyond. Looking down towards her wet shirt, Kitsune had only one thought.

"Oh well, looks like dear old Keitaro has to buy me a few more bottles of Sake to make up for his mistake."

And with that thought stored away in her head for later usage, Kitsune busied herself cleaning up the Sake that had went off her dress and onto the floor. It wasn't long before she felt that something was terribly wrong. Something was making her feel really weak, and as she moved about she could feel the 'something' getting stronger, until the point where her limbs felt leaden, and her brain struggled to function. From her experience of drinking Sake, she knew that Sake was quite mild and that coupled with her developed resistance to alcohol meant that the effects shouldn't be kicking in so soon. Also, the Sake should have given her a sense of euphoria first before making her feel sleepy, but for some reason now she only felt sleepy, the sense of euphoria nowhere to be found.

Therefore Kitsune came to the only logical conclusion.

"DAMN YOU, KEITARO! HOW COULD YOU SPIKE MY DRINK!"

ooo

As Keitaro ran, he felt his eyebrow starting to twitch.

"Is someone thinking about me?"

ooo

Kitsune struggled on the ground against the supposed 'poison' put in by Keitaro, but even as she rolled about she realized that it was a lost cause. She had absolutely no way of halting its advance, since she did not have Keitaro's natural invincibility to automatically block the 'poison' or Ki manipulation skills to push against it like Motoko. After a few short moments of further struggle, in which she continually cursed Keitaro who 'spiked' her drinks and causing her to be reduced to such a pathetic state, Kitsune finally fell to the 'poison' and she dropped all resistance, her head falling to the side as she lost consciousness.

Kitsune wasn't wrong in the conclusion that Keitaro had spiked her drink. Since Keitaro was feeling particular vengeful towards nobody in particular that day, he decided that the best way to vent his anger would be to cause somebody else's suffering. And since Kitsune had against his wishes sent him out to buy Sake for her, Keitaro felt his anger direct him towards revenge at Kitsune. Thus, when Keitaro felt the need to relieve himself while on his way back home, he opened the Sake bottles and relieved himself right then and there into them. He figured that Kitsune wouldn't really mind, since she would be drunk on some of her earlier stores when he delivered the goods anyway.

Fortunately, Keitaro's piss went down very well with the alcoholic substance, and hence when the two liquids came into contact a very, very powerful chemical reaction occurred, and the two substances magically fused to become a magical portal that transferred people to other planes of existence!

Therefore, as Kitsune lapsed into unconsciousness, the portal was overwhelmed by the overpowering amounts of Sake that it was picking up, and before the portal could randomly pick which plane to shift Kitsune too, the Sake made its decision for the portal and the portal's consciousness was overwritten. Kitsune's body disappeared into nothingness as she was shifted to the plane of Sake, the plane where Sake was the one and only thing in existence.

ooo

Several hours later, Kitsune woke up to find that she lying on top of a transparent golden block which was itself floating on top of a sea of golden liquid of apparently infinite proportions. Looking around, Kitsune noticed that the golden liquid spread out so far in each and every direction that she could see no end to it. Also, the golden block in which she was lying on seemed to be the only patch of solid land in this vast sea. Groggily, Kitsune stood up and took in a large gulp of air, before she finally noticed that something was wrong. Terribly, terribly, wrong.

The air smelled of Sake.

Wait, was that really a problem?

Kitsune lifted her nose and sniffed the air again. Yes, it could not be denied, this was the small of premium grade Sake! Kitsune bent down and scooped up a handful of the limitless amount of golden liquid. Sipping the liquid, Kitsune knew instantly that the liquid was not all smell and no taste. It truly was the purest and freshest Sake she had even tasted before, and it put all of the 'premium' Sake she had ever drunk before to shame. Now that she was fully recovered, just the smell of the alcoholic drink was enough to override, not to mention paralyze her entire brain until the sole command remaining was to drink Sake… as much as she could get her hands on. Therefore, Kitsune looked towards the sea of golden heaven and jumped.

Drinking in impossible amounts of the liquid, Kitsune could feel the Sake flooding her entire body, until each and every muscle, every bone, every organ, and even the cells became saturated with the liquid. As the liquid kept on coming in, Kitsune could feel the excess liquid not occupying her structure pool into a core somewhere she did not know, but it was pictured clearly in her mind, and as she reached out to touch it she felt the Sake coming into her fingers, rejuvenating her, powering her, until she could feel herself containing the power to control and wield energy. Pure energy.

She was unsure how, but she knew that at any moment she could tap into this Sake core, and when she did she could choose to expel the Sake as any form of energy she wished, heat, plasma, cosmic rays, electricity, even just pure, unchanged energy. (Of course, she could expel pure Sake for drinking.)

And so Kitsune just floated there on the sea of golden liquid, absorbing more of the liquid goodness for an unknown period of time until the renewable stores of the plane was depleted and she was shifted back out of the plane into the normal plane of existence.

As Keitaro moved along the coast at a leisurely pace, He noticed that four animals, a lion, a zebra, a giraffe and a hippopotamus were making their way along the coast into a large dense forest. Just as he shrugged them off and was passing them by, he suddenly heard a voice yell at him. "STOP!"

Stopping in shock at the ability of the animal to talk, Keitaro turned and regarded the animals with a curious eye. Under normal circumstances he knew that he should be frightened, but now he knew that he could always tap into his super abilities, so he was not worried at all. He regarded them for a moment longer before the zebra spoke.

"Hey what's up! Care to tell us where we are?

"Well… I'm not very sure. I just got here myself when I heard somebody calling."

"Oh, that would be me," said a harmless looking lion. "I just wanted to ask whether you could give us directions to the nearest zoo personnel, but I guess you aren't too sure yourself either, right?'

"Spot on, dude! Anyway, where did you guys come from?"

"Oh, we just came via a ship from New York. We are trying to get back you see, so we are hoping to contact some zookeepers and see if we could negotiate a deal."

Keitaro shrugged. "Well, I guess I can't help you guys much, since I just came from Japan. But I'm sure if you explore further you'll meet up with someone sooner or later."

The giraffe suddenly collapsed onto the beach with a groan. The other three animals looked at him, smacked their foreheads and groaned simultaneously while saying, "Guess he forgot his medication again!"

Keitaro looked on in amusement, before he decided to continue on his way home. So with a wave and a cheery goodbye, Keitaro tapped into his powers and sped off again.

Marty looked towards Alex and asked, "Why is that guy's butt full of mud?"
