AN: after dodging flying objects from the readers Another 5 months. Don't worry, this is the last time I'll make you guys wait this long. I've finally finished with my homework for the whole year so the last 2 chapters will come quicker. Plus, now, I know how I'm going to end the story.
Spoiler Alert: There is a slight spoiler with the Blue Knight that has to do with the ending of Tokyo Mew Mew.
Chapter 11
"How dare you say that!" Kahn exclaimed.
"It's just," Zoey tried to explain," I do have a few fans out there. What would they think if I suddenly changed into something they don't like. I'd be letting them down!"
"Does it look like I care! This business is all about money! If you don't perform well then the kids won't watch and we lose business! And despite my best efforts, the ratings for your show, Mew Mew Power, aren't going well."
"What are you planning on doing with them?" Ichigo asked.
"We'll have to get rid of them."
"What do you mean by that?" Zoey asked, shocked.
Kahn remained silent. Suddenly everybody realized what he meant.
"You can't do that!" Keiichiro said as he ran to the front of the group," You can't just create something and then just throw it away! Especially if there are people out there who actually like them as characters!"
"But isn't that what you wanted anyway!" Kahn protested," All of you came here to get rid of them and when there's finally a chance, you object!"
"But they shouldn't go out like this! At least, if they got out by fighting us, they would go out with dignity! It's better to go out with pride, instead of throwing your life away as a pawn for someone who's so selfish that he doesn't care for the feelings of the characters and their fans! You have no right to treat them like that!"
"I have every right! I bought the rights to do with them as I please! I can change them as I want. Heck, I can even sell them to another company! Speaking of which, I just sold Pokemon to the Pokemon USA Company. So, I guess that I don't need them anymore."
Kahn then typed on the keyboard on this laptop and then clicked the 'delete' button. Everyone then turned to the dubbed Pokemon characters, who were now starting to disappear. Ash stared at them and all of this dubbed friends with tears in his eyes. Then he stared angrily at Kahn.
"After all we've done for you, you pay us back by doing this!" Ash cried and screamed angrily at the same time," I thought that, at least, we would make you proud enough to keep us!"
"Like I care. The money that that company gave us will help me make new shows to replace you! Which reminds me, why do I even have theses Shaman King characters with me. I took that out of the lineup ages ago. And F-Zero was a flop too!"
With the click of the 'delete' key, the characters started to disappear. Everyone stared in shock.
"They finished what was needed out of them for me," Kahn said," Besides, you shouldn't worry much about Pokemon. It'll still be around, but the dubs will be recreated. Here's a sample of what's to come!"
He then showed everyone a sample clip of the new dubbed voices. Everyone had a disgusted look on their faces.
"That's just wrong!" Satoshi said," You gave them away to someone who made them worse! You're ruining our reputation!"
"Don't worry!" Kahn said," There will be better shows to replace all of the ones I deleted! As soon and Mew Mew Power is gone, I'll show a dubbed version of Pretty Cure, the new anime that I just bought!"
"STOP THIS NOW!"
Elliot took Kahn by surprise, as he and Ryou turned into cats and knocked down the laptop he was holding. Ryou changed back and picked up the laptop and went to the back of the group. Elliot changed back and pinned Kahn to the ground.
"Now's your chance!" Elliot shouted.
"Let go of me you traitor!" Kahn demanded.
"You're the one who betrayed us!" Elliot yelled back.
"Let's get him everyone!" Ichigo said but then she noticed the dubs stayed motionless.
"What's wrong with you guys? He hurt you! Are you just going to stand by and keep letting him do this to you!"
"Are we even significant?" Zoey asked," Have we never possessed a will of our own? It's supposed to be our job to do what he wants without complaint. Besides, if we're gone nobody would care. Everybody hates us anyways."
"What do you mean by that?"
"We were changed so much," Corina stated," We aren't the characters that the fans love. We're just cheap fakes!"
"And us just standing here being unable to attack our creator," Dren added," Just proves that we have a lack of will."
Elliot was now having trouble holding down Kahn and was now struggling to keep his grip.
"Hurry you guys! I can't hold him!"
"Don't worry Elliot. I got it covered!"
Elliot turned his head to find that Wesley was helping him.
"I didn't know you had it in you," Elliot said shocked.
"I didn't know either," Wesley replied.
The Sohmas then joined the originals.
"You're all a bunch of wimps!" Kyo shouted," Not attacking just because you're afraid of what he might do to you or because you're afraid that no one likes you! I've felt the way you have my whole life but that doesn't stop me from fighting back! Looking at you all sickens me!"
"That's easy for you to say," Mark said," You guys weren't poorly dubbed. From what I hear, Fruits Basket was one of the best dubs out there."
"And because of the way we are," Zoey said," No one will ever truly accept us."
"It doesn't have to be like that!" The Blue Knight said," You are important! If you think that you don't have a will of your own, then make one for yourself! You don't have to blindly follow him! Look at Elliot and Wesley! At least they're fighting back! And, believe it or not, there are people out there who love you and don't want you to leave! That's why you have to fight for your right to exist! And even if you lose the fight in the end, there will be someone who will still love you. Winning or losing the fight is not important. It's how bravely you fought for who you're fighting for that will win others' respect!"
The dubs understood and nodded. Kikki went in front of the dubbed group and jumped excitedly.
"Then let's kick Kahn butt then!" She shouted.
The originals and dubs circled around Kahn, who was still pinned down by Elliot and Wesley. Kikki and Pudding were up first.
RIBBON PUDDING RING INFERNO!
TAMBORINE TRENCH!
Elliot and Wesley jumped out of the way as the two attacks created the gelatin-like wall around Kahn. Then the others joined in.
RIBBON STRAWBERRY SURPRISE!
ROSE BELL FULL POWER!
RIBBON MINT ECHO!
HEART ARROW!
RIBBON LETTUCE RUSH!
DEEPSEA SURGE ATTACK!
RIBBON ZAKURO SPEAR!
Then Renee did her attack (AN: I didn't know what to put down since she doesn't say her attack on the show XP).
Then all of the other originals, dubs, and fans attacked as well. When all of the dust cleared they stared surprisingly at Kahn, who wasn't damaged at all.
"How did he..?" Kisshu started to ask.
"Isn't it obvious? You guys are animated characters," Kahn laughed," You can't harm me unless I allow you to!"
"Oh yeah?" the Blue Knight stated," You disgust me! You think that you can escape this?"
The Blue Knight then started to glow in a bright blue light, which caused a force so strong that the wind almost knocked everyone to the ground. Then everyone looked to see that a pale-skinned, long black-haired alien took his place.
"Blue Knight…what happened to you!" Ichigo asked.
"Deep Blue-sama!" Pai exclaimed," You weren't supposed to reveal your true identity to anyone until the appropriate time!"
"What!" Ryou shouted," The Blue Knight is the aliens leader!"
"Say it isn't sooooooooooo!" Keiichiro dramatically said on purpose.
"This isn't good," Taruto said," Now his cover's blown!"
"I wasn't even supposed to know about this!" Kisshu said, "Don't worry! I'll find a way to take care of this."
Kisshu, Pai, and Taruto huddled together to discuss what to do about the current situation. Deep Blue faced Kahn, while pointing his sword towards the ground. Then he drove it into the ground causing the ground to split open, knocking everyone off their feet. Kahn managed to grab a nearby tree to keep from being damaged from the attack. The aliens were still in a huddle.
"What are we going to do about this?" Pai asked.
"We have to find a way to erase everybody's memories somehow," Taruto answered.
"Yeah right," Kisshu said," Like there's anything that can do that."
Then the 3 aliens say a conveniently place box on the ground below them.
"What's in it?" Pai asked.
"It says 'Old Kids WB show props'." Kisshu replied.
The checked the inside of the box and came across a prop that looked like a steel bar with a red light on the top and some dark glasses.
"It says here: 'Men in Black memory erasers and glasses. Good for erasing people's memories whenever they see aliens'." Taruto read the card that was next to the supplies.
"This is the biggest coincidence that I've ever came across," Pai said.
The 3 aliens then put on the glasses and turned on the memory erasers and set them on 'minutes'.
"Cover your eyes, fans," Pai said," Since you guys already seem to know the identity of my master."
The fans do so as Pai flashed the memory eraser on the original characters. Kisshu, on the other hand was running around and flashing his memory eraser like crazy and the dubs.
"You didn't see anyting!" Kisshu said, "No alien leader here! No Deep Blue-sama here! You didn't see any alien with long black hair here!"
Then Pai went to Kahn and changed the setting on this eraser to 'days' instead of 'minutes'.
"Sorry but this is for our own good," Pai stated.
Taruto went up to Deep Blue.
"Sorry, Deep Blue-sama," Taruto said, "But you're not even supposed to know who you are yet."
Then Taruto flashed Deep Blue. When Ichigo regained her senses, she saw Aoyama lying on the ground.
"Aoyama-kun, what are you doing here?"
"I don't remember," Aoyama answered.
"Where did the Blue Knight go?"
"Ummmm…"
"It's okay. At least I know that you're safe."
Kahn was sitting on the ground confused. Kisshu , Keiichiro, and the Sohmas went up to him.
"What am I doing here?" Kahn asked.
The group stared and smiled at each other.
"You sent us all here so that you can test our abilities," Keiichiro answered.
"And you weren't satisfied with just watching them fight so you wanted the experience it first hand," Kisshu added.
"What do you mean?" Kahn asked.
"They mean that you want them all to attack and kick your sorry butt!" Kyo shouted.
"Oh right!" Kahn said and then he stood up," HIT ME!"
"IF YOU SAY SO!" Everybody shouted.
First all of the originals attacked first, then the fans. (AN: Sorry for not putting down all or their attacks. It would've taken too long.)
"You do the honors, guys!" Ichigo said to the remaining dubs.
Then all of the dubs attacked, which caused Kahn to fly up into the air. But, unfortunately, a helicopter flew by and Kahn, realizing what just happened, caught it and climbed in. He then stuck his head out the window, while holding a megaphone.
"You may have won this time but sooner or later, I will get rid of all of you! Now I must leave so I can supervise my next dub victims!"
Everyone stared at the helicopter as it flew out of sight.
"I guess we won," Keiichiro said.
"Yeah but we didn't get what we wanted in the first place," Kisshu noted.
"Maybe or maybe not. If 4Kids gives up the rights for Tokyo Mew Mew, there might be a chance that someday a better company will re-dub it to fit the fans' standards."
"But does that mean that we'll not exist?" Zoey asked.
"Who knows," Ryou answered," I guess that we'll all have to cross that bridge when we come to it."
"Just remember that there are people that love you and you'll be fine," Ichigo said.
"I guess so," Elliot said.
Everyone was silent for a minute. Then Keiichiro perked up.
"What's with all the long faces? If I remember, Ayame-san is putting together a party for when we return. We better get going!"
The originals and fans smiled as Pai and Taruto teleported with the back to Café Mew Mew. Keiichiro and Kisshu went to the dubs.
"Do you guys want to come too?" Kisshu asked.
"We can come?" All of them asked.
"Of course you can," Keiichiro answered," We wouldn't have come this far if it wasn't for you."
"YEAH!" all of the dubs shouted excitedly.
"Let's go then!" Kisshu said and with a wave of his hand they all teleported to Café Mew Mew.
MadaMada Tsuzuku(To Be Continued…)
