Trapped in the Fandom Net

Moon: I'm back people!

Gemini: I'm impressed. The Sues actually put together a plan that endangered the multiverse.

Destiny: God I hate Bella, God I hate Savannah, GOD I AM SO ANNOYED!

Kish: Ack! Celestial Moonlight Blade does not own TMM or MMP.

Chapter 19: vs Bella

Zakuro winced as they were dropped back into the upside down world of the Net. Teleportation was one of her least favorite ways of travel; it left her head spinning after she landed, and it gave everyone a headache.

"Ow! Well, we're here!" Angelcake said, hopping to her feet. They were back in front of the giant screen that mapped out the multiverse, listing the names of each Earth. The cage was open, as if it had been recently used.

Tart remained seated. "You know, I'm just going to sit here until my head stops spinning." He said, pressing two fingers against the sides of his head. Pudding sat down next to him and gave him a bear hug. Lettuce leaned heavily against a nearby rock, and Angel Ichigo wobbled about, disoriented.

"This is not good, this is not good at all..." Moon grumbled, speed-walking towards the entrance. She ran her fingers over the screen and cursed.

"What's going on now?" Pai asked, his mind going a mile a minute.

"The Sues are heading for the Pool of Insanity." Gemini answered for his companion.

"Wait...the stuff Lettuce drank...YOU HAVE AN ENTIRE LAKE OF THAT STUFF?"

"Oh yeah." Mew replied in a completely calm voice. Ryou and Kish both fell over. "Actually, an ocean. A bottomless ocean."

There was a loud crash as every other non-Gatekeeper did the same thing. "You're all completely insane!" Keiichiro gasped.

"Hey! We spent YEARS extracting that stuff from Super Sues in order to stop the original Sue-takeover from occurring!" Angelcake said defensively. "We had to put it somewhere after stopping the Ultra Sues and the Queen of all Sues. Composers were a little careless back then!"

"If the Sues get that stuff into one world alone, everything will go to hell in a handbasket." Destiny confirmed Zakuro's fear. "Hell, if they drink too much..." His voice trailed off. "Everyone get moving. We have to reach it in time."

Dimensional Passageway

And they were running. Angel Ichigo could feel her heart hammering in her chest as they scrambled through the passageway faster than she had realized they could move.

The Gatekeepers were furious. It actually scared her, how angry Moon looked. This was their turf that the Sues were invading, so she guessed that it made sense.

Angel Ichigo could feel her own anger boiling inside her. She was sick of these Sues, who refused to die easily and continued to stubbornly try to alter the world to fit their vision. She found herself wishing she had somehow videotaped what Ryou had said to Stephanie, so she could show it to Bella and Savannah as well. She was sick of their childish behavior and constant whining, and it was too bad she wasn't able to scream at them anymore. Angel Ichigo decided she would have to settle for hitting them with her strongest attacks instead.

That will do. She thought with an evil smile. That will do nicely.

At the Pool of Insanity

Bella and Savannah stood in front of the lake, all the Sues behind them. The pool glowed crimson, like blood, ripping peacefully. Deceptive appearance indeed.

"At last." Savannah sighed happily. "Perfection is at hand, Bella. I can sense it."

"Yeah, I can too." Bella was twitching nervously, something quite unlike her. Her eyes were strangely sketchy, as if she were thinking of something she didn't want anyone to know. "Deus Ex Machina, here we come..."

"I don't think so." Moon and the others appeared out of the Dimensional Passageway, breathless but armed for combat. Both Queen Sues jumped their own height, straight in the air. Shiru barked in laughter at their faces.

"How-when did you get here! WHY DO YOU ALWAYS HAVE OT RUIN IT?" Bella screamed.

"Where's Stephanie?" Savannah growled. "I told her not to loose!"

"First off, you're pretty overconfident if you think you can just stroll into our world and take away one of it's most valuable resources. Secondly, it's not about you. For someone who claims to be thirty years old and perfectly mature at birth, you sure throw a lot of tantrums when you don't get your way." Angelcake paused mid-rant. "And finally, we defeated Stephanie and put her out of her bland, empty misery. You didn't care about her anyway-she was just a pawn in your hand, so you could get your perfect future."

Savannah growled. "Lying imperfect! I'm too caring and compassionate for that!"

"We all know that's not true, Black Hole Sue Savannah." Soulstealer replied, her tone surprisingly measured when she said this. Her usual manic tone was clipped and filled with amusement. "You just try to bend the universe to suit your needs. Everyone loves you or hates you, and those who don't never last long."

There was a second's pause.

"Screw this!" Tart yelled suddenly, and charged across the lake no giving Savannah a chance to get angry at the comment. "I'm not sparing another second to talk!" He swung the hammer.

Taken aback by her enemy's boldness, Savannah scrambled away, only to be thrown back by the shock wave the gravity hammer always caused. "My loyal friends, follow me!" She cried.

"Taru-Taru!" Pudding cried in concern as the remaining Sues started to swarm the smaller alien.

Seeing their youngest brother get hurt pushed Pai and Kish's berserk buttons. They both dove straight into the lake and power-swam to the other side. They hurtled out with surprising force, streaking forward like a pair of bullets. The crowd of Sues broke rank and frantically tried to fight back. It was all for naught; apparently the aliens had enough of these picture-perfect abominations. They had hurt their brother, and they were getting revenge in SPADES.

Soulstealer looked genuinely surprised. For about five second. "Well, wasn't expecting that." She said. Then she let out her customary insane laugh and followed suit. Moon's expression became a manic grin, and the gang dove into battle-and into the lake.

Zakuro felt a bolt of pure energy explode through her at the water's touch. It was as if she had just won an Oscar. Five times, at that. She could move mountains with her hands, and it was time to prove it to them.

Exploding out of the water-like substance with the force of a canon, Zakuro landed on the other shore and helped the aliens with their assault. Her sword felt lighter than ever in her hand, and gold blood/dust sloshed against her feet. She had gotten a sufficient power-up thanks to the pool of Insanity.

The others were showing it as well. Angel Ichigo's staff was acting like a canon, lightning crashed in the sky as the Gatekeepers took arms. Soul was using a gun and a sword in each hand, and she seemed to be moving twice as quickly as usual. Destiny's sci-fi side had kicked in, and he was manipulating a bunch of ariel weapons. Mika, Musica and Mew had gone for an unconventional method of combat-they had set up a bunch of huge stereos in the middle of the field.

"Cover your ears!" Mew hollered. She turned on Indestructible by Disturbed. The music erupted through the speakers, sending shock waves through the earth. The Sues were blown off their collective feet. Moon let out a howl of delight and threw her sword. The Blade of the Moon hurtled through the air, struck a Sue and hit the floor. Electricity surged through the ground, causing a mini explosion.

Pai and Kish hacked through the last few and turned towards Bella. The redheaded Sue was shaking with rage, her eyes turning red to match.

"You shouldn't have interfered!" She screamed. "I was so close...! I was so close to taking over the multiverse! I could have become Empress of all Worlds!"

"Pardon?" Amber grumbled. "I thought you were just after their world." She jerked a finger over her shoulder at the mews&aliens.

"Why should I stop there?" Bella shot back. "I was always overlooked, overshadowed, and power was always given to my idiotic perfect sister! If I were in control, all problems would be solved! I would finally get the recognition and power that I deserve, and every Earth would have a competent leader! BUT NO!" She pointed an accusing finger at the group. "Now thanks to YOU, SAVANNAH will get it! That stupid, selfish Black Hole! It's all your fault! All of it!"

"Our fault!" Gemini exclaimed, insulted. "We're protecting our world from your insanity! If not for us, there multiverse would have descended into chaos!"

"Must be a sympathetic sue." Soulstealer said to herself. Louder, she asked "and how is Savannah going to take over the multiverse?"

"She's already drank from the Pool of Insanity." Bella growled, not thinking about what she was saying. "She has the Deus Ex Machina I had been hording for all this time! I would have been able to backstab her if you hadn't intervened!"

"You have a lot of nerve to say this is our fault." Moon snapped. "If you were anything like Katani or Kunex or us, you would know how bratty, insane and selfish your plan was. If you care about the multiverse being in good hands, step aside and let us take care of Savannah and her cronies."

Bella screamed in rage and she was engulfed in a red light. Seconds later, she appeared as giant creature with four red wings, an impish face, claws, and horns. Her torso was concealed by armor and her legs had disappeared, probably forming into those wings.

"Why is it that every Queen Sue we meet has to be pull a one-wing-angel on us?" Ryou complained as if nothing ever went his way. Shiru uttered a howl of pure frustration.

"Let's go!" Moon barked, and everyone charged.

End Chapter

(falls over) Ohhh man! I'm finally wrapping up the Sue arc! Those things are SO goddamn annoying, and I think by looking at my own writing I'm presenting that quite well! Stupid, stupid things. And yes, there is a sequel in the works, called Carnage, Distopia and Fangirlism (don't ask) If you wondering where the terms for Sues I was using are coming from, look them up on TV tropes!

Like it? Hate it? The only way I'll know is if you review!
