Disclaimer: If I owned X, I would dip Kanoe into a pool of acid infested with three-eyed piranhas with guns tied to their heads and just laugh maniacally.

Ah, the bet is over, and I have three bags of chocolate…strike that, ONE bag of chocolate as of now. Chocolate, how could I have forsaken thee? Oh, and I just wanted to say that the lovely reviewer Meirav brought up a very excellent point . But consider this: if the bishies are in chibi form it'll be much harder for them to escape, and duct tape combined with hand-cuffs is just a messy alternative XD. Well, anyway here is chapter 12! Enjoy!

Luv,

Ch.12 Gathering

Location: Dragons of Earth Headquarters

Satsuki raced through a world devoid of needless emotion and tormenting boredom. It was her world, a dimension isolated from the mundane squabbles of what humans called reality, it was dark, but never lonely, secluded, but never finite. As she dashed through her world of 0s and 1s, she was content to be free with the glaring lights that hummed over her and the persistent computer tones sounding with her every step.

Beepbeepbeepbeep…she ran down the maze, snatching every white orb in her path, careful to avoid the colorful ghosts that chased after her. However, the orange and pink specters were closing in, and the nearest power pill was too far away! She quickened her pace; she could not lose now, not when she had gotten to level 99!

Her cold eyes widened as she realized that she had fallen into a dead end with no escape as the few remaining ghosts chomped their way closer. This was it…this was the end. She stared her enemies down emotionlessly, preparing herself for the worst when…

"Satsuki? Satsuki? Do you have a moment?" requested a deep, minimally feminine voice.

The Mrs. Pacman game faded into the black screen, and when she blinked her eyes open, she looked down from Beast's embrace. Kanoe stood under the computer dressed in a skimpy nurse's outfit with a hat labeled 'Nurse Feel-good'. Satsuki simply did not want to know.

Beast's thread-like wires withdrew from her body, and after pulling up the visor around her eyes, Satsuki leapt away from the super computer. "Kanoe," she replied curtly.

Kanoe lightly paced the floor. "Satsuki, do you know where Yuuto is? It's not like him to be an hour late for an appointment in my bed—er, that fancy restaurant…"

Her expression did not change. "Restaurant?"

Kanoe smiled slyly. "Yeah, you know the one…that new Greek restaurant down the street."

"The same one you took the Mayor, two postmen, and a monkey on a unicycle to?" queried Satsuki.

Kanoe straightened her nurse's cap, and nodded. "Now that I think of it, I have not seen 'Kamui' here all day…and I was certain that our Dreamseer resided in that bedroom down the hall…"

"About that…" began Satsuki.

THUD!

"Yuuto, 'Kamui', and the Dreamseer—"

THUD! THUD!

"They were unfortunately—"

Suddenly a large hole blasted through the sliding doors of the chamber, shooting debris in all directions. Three figures emerged from the opening, and as the dust was clearing, the foremost of them let out an evil laugh.

"All revere the glory that is the FAIRY QUEEN!" screamed Kamui.

Both Yuuto and Yuzuriha were clapping. "You're so cool, your majesty!" exclaimed Yuzuriha.

"Nothing less from my liege!" agreed Yuuto.

Behind them, the broken doors glided apart on their own, the hole completely unnecessary. However, as the three became much clearer in the view of Kanoe and Satsuki, Kamui kept his proud grin.

To say that Satsuki was shocked was a terrible understatement. Her eyes were twitching so badly that she was beginning to tear up. "Yuuto…has brought the Dragons of Heaven to our Headquarters and—" Satsuki trailed off when she caught a closer look of the strange trio. The savior of humanity was clad in a frilly pink dress. Yuzuriha's hair had been dyed with a blotch of white, and somewhere between the Petco and the Headquarters, Yuuto's hair had become a wild shade of red.

Kanoe, however, seemed undeterred by their appearances, and skipped over to Yuuto. She rubbed a hand across his chest as the other one pulled on her nurse's uniform. "Hello there, Doctor Yuuto. Nurse Feel-good has some yummy medicine for you!"

Yuuto didn't flinch. "Pink Minion!" barked Kamui. "Stop fooling around, and follow your Queen!"

"Yes, your majesty!" replied Yuuto, and he pulled away from Kanoe.

Kanoe fell over. "This…this cannot be? This isn't right!"

Before Kamui could take another step toward Satsuki, a desperate hand wrapped around his ankle. Kanoe looked up at him, her eyes already maddened beyond hope, and her mouth was foaming uncontrollably. "Boy! Tell me I'm sexy! I'm a Sexy Mama! You want me, right? Right?"

Kamui shook away. "Away, wench! I have no time for half-naked prostitutes when I have a stuffed animal named Martin to find, arch nemeses to vanquish, and an entire city to eradicate!"

Kanoe was writhing on the floor. "I've been rejected? I'm not sexy anymore…NO…it burns! I'm melting! I'm melting!"

Yuzuriha skipped past Kanoe in the middle of her psychotic episode. "Bye, Sexy Mama!" she chirped happily while following the others.

"NOOOOOOOooooooo!" A loud explosion boomed behind them, and if anyone bothered to look back, they would find that the spot Kanoe was standing on was nothing more than a pile of black, whorish dust…but they didn't .

Kamui walked forward without any regard to the other's explosion. "You!" he gestured to Satsuki, who was backing away. "You are the Dark Mage we seek!"

"I cannot allow myself to be infected by their disease…" Satsuki said to herself. But before she had a chance to respond to Kamui, her shoulder was seized from behind.

Yuuto's face peered close into her own. "Helloooooo thereeeee!" Satsuki jumped, and tried to run away only to find that her back had hit the steel plating of Beast. Nowhere to run.

"We seek the one called Martin, Destroyer of Tokyo! Aid us, and you shall have the privilege of—" As fate would have it, the air conditioning clicked on right at that moment, blowing Kanoe's dust at Kamui.

He struggled to hold back sneeze, but by now, we all know damn well what would happen so let's just skip it…

Location: The Super-secret Kakyou Cave, formerly the Dumpster behind Little Vincent's Grocery…

Announcer-Guy-Thing: THE ONGOING ADVENTURES OF THE SPECIAL FRIENDS!

Captain Kakyou! With the power to run faster than the average bear!

Arashi, Warrior Princess! Sword master on planet Uranus!

Seishirou! With the power of Saran Wrap!

Subaru! The boy-sugar wonder!

Sorata! Half man, half taco!

All led by their powerful leader, Fuuma, they unite against the evil Fairy Queen! THE SPECIAL FRIENDS!

We meet our heroes in the Kakyou cave, bickering about their next move, knowing very well it could be their last…

"Well I say that there IS such a thing as the Pie Pixie, so there!" growled Arashi.

Seishirou folded his arms in a huff. "Everyone knows that the Pie Pixie isn't real! It's a Pie Stork!"

"Pie! Pie!" giggled Subaru.

Fuuma jumped into the dumpster, a business look on his face. "Special friends! I just got off the banana with the chief! The Fairy Queen's servants are gathering together!"

Everyone: Collective gasp!

"There's only one thing we can do, then!" shouted Kakyou. He reached behind him, and produced a carrot.

"BUNNY?" asked Sorata, Fuuma letting a small cry of 'Pedro' escape his lips.

"No, no. It is a two in one carrot radio and receiver!" exclaimed the Magic Taco as Sorata went into a trance. "We must divide our forces to take out these new threats before confronting Yuuto and the Fairy Queen. That carrot will keep us in close contact, and by the looks of it, the radio might even pick up the Jazz station! Tacos just love jazz!"

"Well, you heard the Taco! Let's get outta this dump!" ordered Arashi. (A/N: Literally…)

Fuuma hopped out of the dumpster. "Special Friends, AWAY!"

Location: Dragons of Earth Headquarters

After being hit by the sneeze, Satsuki remained quieter than usual, but that quickly changed once the madness set in. And then all hell DID break loose, for if there was ever a sign of the approaching apocalypse, this was it.

Satsuki laughed.

At first it sounded like she was shrieking some god-awful curse, her voice high-pitched and ear-piercing, but she continue screaming giggles so much that she had fallen over on her side. Beast, alarmed at what happened to its companion, injected several wires into the laughing computer geek's neck, which made matters go from bad to worse.

Beast's lights began to flicker and flare the instant it had connected to Satsuki until its main power source short-circuited, and sparks of electricity flew from the machine. Beast's form began to twist and turn. Kamui and his followers distanced themselves from the spazzing computer, its new form more horrible and dangerous than any of them could guess.

"Woof-woof! Woof-woof!" Beast had turned into a robotic dog.

(A/N: Hey, if a computer can feel jealousy, then it sure as hell can get high! And thanks to Takako san for the great idea)

Yuzuriha screamed, Yuuto reeled away, but Kamui was losing patience. "Dark Mage, we must find this Martin immediately. So commands the Fairy Queen!"

Satsuki picked herself up from the ground, and saluted. "Your will shall be done, almighty conqueror!" She turned to the barking computer dog. "Transform-O! Form of a beaver!"

With a robotic bark, Beast's plating began to shift until it resembled a woodland creature. Yuuto gasped. "A homing beaver? Ingenious!"

"Yes, yes," muttered Kamui indifferently. "But we don't have all day to search this doomed city…beavers are just too damn lazy!" He suddenly burst into hysterical laughter. "I said 'damn'! And beavers! Get it? 'Damn' and 'dam'! Wahahahahahaha!" (A/N: Please don't kill me…this is just a 'bad pun' night for me)

After sweat-dropping, Satsuki paused thoughtfully and brightened. "I know what to do! Transform-O! Form of a throwing dart!" When Beast obeyed, she wrapped a blindfold around her eyes, and turned to Yuzuriha. "Spin me around!"

"Yay! Pin the tail on the penguin! I wanna play!" squealed the girl as she twirled Satsuki around.

Satsuki spun nearly to the point that she fell over before releasing the dart into the air. In the distance, it landed with a light thud and the beautiful sound of a cat screaming. She jumped up into the air. "Yahtzee!"

"I get it! Now we go that way, and we'll find the Destroyer of Tokyo!" shouted Kamui who pointed to the direction opposite from where the dart landed.

"Exactly!" exclaimed Satsuki proudly. "Transform-O! Form of a potato sack!" Instantly a metallic potato sack slipped under the four confused, yet evil, morons.

"Forth, potato sack! We ride!" ordered Kamui.

Location: Goofy Gary's Gargantuan Golf-a-rena

Martin panted in exasperation near the plastic castle of the mini-golf joint surrounded by three sugar-charged girls. The foremost of the children cooed as she placed a bow over the stuffed animal's head. "Aww, isn't that precious!" she giggled.

Martin irritably tore it off. "Evil is not precious! Evil does not wear bows!"

Another girl blinked at the talking toy, but with a smile, she displayed a small costume. "Does evil wear a raccoon suit?"

Martin did not get a chance to answer, for at that moment, the gate to the mini-golf center burst open and a sack of potatoes slithered in, scaring away the little girls. "Crap," said Martin.

"Martin, Destroyer of Tokyo!" called out Kamui as he slipped down Beast. "I, the Fairy Queen, accompanied by my minions, have come to you in this dark hour to join you in your quest to conquer this city! What say you?"

Martin was silent for a moment as he took in the sight of the chosen one wearing a pink dress accompanied by a Code Red obsessed idiot, a giggling computer geek, a psychotic girl, and a giant, robotic sack of potatoes.

"I say piss off, Pinky!" hissed Martin.

"It's settled then! We are comrades forever!" confirmed Kamui, and the other three cheered happily from the potato sack.

"Your majesty!" cried Yuuto excitedly. "Now that we are together, we should have a group name!"

"What do you mean?" asked Kamui suspiciously.

"The Special Friends have a name, don't they? We should get one too, only something better!"

"Oh!" yelled Yuzuriha. "How about the League of Extremely…Mean…"

"…Offenders, National!" finished Satsuki.

"Perfect! We shall be L.E.M.O.N.!" bellowed Kamui as the others celebrated behind him.

If stuffed animals could sweat-drop…or pop a vein for that matter… "No! We will not be called L.E.M.O.N.!"

"Why not?" asked Kamui. "Everyone wants to be in L.E.M.O.N.!" They all nodded fiercely in agreement.

"Umm…err…" stammered Martin.

"Wait! I got a better one!" announced the Water Master. "We'll be the Federation of United and Clever Killers!"

Kamui bounced up and down with exhilaration. "Even better! We can be the F.U.C.—"

"Enough!" screamed Martin before falling over. "An evil conqueror's work is never easy…"

Honestly, I don't know what the hell I'm doing. It's 3:00, I have insomnia, my mind is fried, hence the very strange chapter. My advice to all of you is to drink a Red Bull and have some chocolate, and in thirty minutes you'll be finding this chapter a helluva lot more entertaining than it really is. Anyway, thanks go out not only to Takako san and Sakurazuka-chan who got me to put Kanoe and Satsuki into the story, but all my reviewers. Reviews are really the only thing that get me off my ass to write this fic Anywho, find out what happens in chapter 13! Later!
