"This all began last year, in preparation for the biggest anime convention to ever be held. Every anime and magna was going to be available. Every writer, artist, producer, and voice actor you could possibly imagine was going to show up. But the cost of all this was enormous, and all the companies were afraid that the ticket and merchandise sales wouldn't be enough to cover it. We have no idea how they did it, but they somehow found a low-profile scientific organization to make some sort of computer to program characters out of any anime or magna and put them in the real world with physical bodies and everything. They also found a way to modify the programing so that the characters didn't come with any of their weapons, unnatural powers, strength, etc in order to insure that people wouldn't get hurt when they were brought over. This was a major breakthrough in science, and as you can guess, a lot of people made quite a fuss about it. But the companies were still cynical about the sales. So they paid the organization again in order to strengthen the obsessiveness of their customers. Within five weeks before the convention, they managed to create a virus that targeted the emotional area of the mind. The virus would feed onto that specific area, and then spread to surrounding areas, so that the infected person could concentrate on nothing but their current emotional state. So what the companies planned to do with this virus is release it on the people at the Con at the moment the characters were transported in order to boost their sales. But since it was created so quickly, they didn't have time to test it or check for flaws. When the virus was released, all hell broke loose. The virus intensified the con-goers emotions so much that they became unbelievably violent and aggressive in their desire to claim the characters from their favorite series. If anyone got in their way, they were ruthlessly attacked. Almost all the non-fangirls were killed. Some of the characters escaped, and the fan girls ran out of the Con to pursue them, spreading the virus. And that is what happened," Danya concluded. "So what happened to the four of you?" Cloud inquired. "Kayla and I got stuck in traffic," Jess said. "Me and Paige got stopped at security because I forgot to take my Swiss Army knife out of my wallet," Danya said."You mean my Swiss Army knife," Kayla injected. "Oh yeah. Sorry about that." Danya pulled the knife out of her pocket and tossed it at Kayla. "So what you just said is that we are nothing more than figments of some artist's imagination brought to this world simply to please the fantasies of teenage girls in order to make money," Sephiroth commented. "On whole, yes. That's an excellent summary," Jess replied. "Well then, why did we arrive here after this Con?" Yuki inquired. "Danya said it was the gree-" Paige started to say, but fell silent as Danya got up and slowly approached her, ominously raising a large hard cover book above her head. "Eeeep, shutting up now," Paige squeaked. Danya sat down again and began reading the book. "Well, those two tried to fix the computer thing," Kayla explained, pointing to Paige and Danya. "But they repaired the wrong wire or something and that's why you're here. So now we need to find out how to re-program it to send you back." "Well, why don't you fix it then?" InuYasha demanded. Jess gave him a long cold look. "Oh, believe me. We don't want you to be here anymore than you do." "But why would the fan girls be after you?" Ed asked. "Since you're here, they see us as competition," Paige said. "So as long as you're here, I advise you not to go near the windows." 'Hold on, are you saying we're trapped here until you fix that damn thing?" Kyo demanded. "Yeah, pretty much," Kayla responded. "We set up a place upstairs for ya, so if there aren't anymore questions, we have some, uh, testing to do." Kayla, Paige, Jess, and Danya all walked out of the room and headed toward the garage. Everyone else moved upstairs to examine their new living space. Noone said anything as they selected the rooms they would be staying in. Cloud moved cautiously over to a window and peered down at the rabid crowd surrounding the house. He sighed and walked down the hallway to further investigate the house. But as he was walking, something strange caught the corner of his eye. He spun around, eyes widening in horror, unable to breathe. As he gazed at this terrible sight and let out a scream of fear and agony, a frustrated yell came from the fan girls outside: "HOMGZ, CLIFFHANGER!ONEONE!11 D : "
