All of the Mew Mew's were having a rough night's sleep, but Ichigo had it the worst. She was having nightmares of Zoey Hanson. She shuddered to think that such a pretty, charismatic and sweet girl like her could have such a STUPID, ANNOYING counterpart!
'Think happy thoughts, think happy thoughts!' she recited the mantra in her head until the visions of Zoey Hanson were gone and instead, she was at the beach and saw Masaya, only he had muscles.
"Hey Ichigo. You look stunning," he said in a flirtatious tone before taking her hands and leaning in for a kiss. Ichigo opened her eyes slightly to look at her boyfriend, only he was not there anymore and instead he was replaced by…
"ZOEY HANSON! YEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Ichigo squealed, quickly sitting up in her bed.
"Oh, thank heavens it was only a dream…" Ichigo sighed with relief before flopping back down. She looked over at her bedside table. She missed having her favourite pink robot there to cheer her up whenever she had nightmares.
The next morning, the Mew Mews were called into the Café for an early morning meeting. Once they all arrived, Ryou told them not to bother to open the Café. Retasu had a sick feeling something big was happening. He hadn't told her that since the fight against Deep Blue.
Ryou turned to face the group once they had settled, "As you all know, there is a mysterious vortex in the sky. There is also an annoying girl by the name of Zoey Hanson."
"We know this!" shouted Ichigo angrily, "Just get on with it! We have to go defeat the baddies don't we!?"
"Silence, Ichigo!" exclaimed Ryou rudely, "Listen up and listen good! This is like no other threat we've faced before. We are dealing with flanderizations and cat puns here!" he folded his arms and sighed, "I don't know if all the dub characters are evil or not. Bu-Ling made good friends with Kikki after all. However, Zoey Hanson and Elliot Grant are definitely evil! I know; Elliot tried to beat me in a death battle before. I believe he brought his lot over here intentionally. Whether his affiliates are willing to help him with his evil deeds, I'm not quite sure. But I'm sure of one thing; originals are better than dubs! Flanderization is wrong! We are Tokyo Mew Mew and WE ARE STRONG!"
"Hey, you made a rhyme!" Purin cheered. Ryou gave her a look.
"Thanks for ruining the mood," he grumbled, "Anyway, these vortexes are opening up in other countries, possibly even other dimensions, we are still unsure. But you girls will need some assistance with battling any more threats that may endanger us. Keiichiro! Are they ready yet!?"
"They sure are!" Keiichiro beamed as he walked into the room, "Let's take this outside!"
Once the 6 girls and 2 guys were outside, Keiichiro pulled something out of his pocket, followed by the other pocket. He opened up both hands at once and the Mew Mews all gasped in delight.
"Masha!" Ichigo cried out, squeezing the pink puffball as it nuzzled up to her.
"Ucha!" Berry grabbed the little strawberry with bunny ears as it gave her a dirty look.
"This isn't cuddle time!" Ucha exclaimed rudely, "This is a serious mission!"
"But Akasaka san, I thought you and Shirogane dismantled the robots after our battles!" Ichigo exclaimed.
"I was planning to, Ichigo, but Keiichiro told me that they were more than just robots," said Ryou.
"They're friends." Keiichiro smiled.
"Alright, alright! Enough with the mush already!" Ucha folded his arms, "Can we just tell em what the deal is?"
"Alright. Ucha, you do the honours," said Keiichiro, gesturing toward the small berry shaped robot.
"Shirogane and Akasaka spent all of last night upgrading us!" Ucha smiled smugly, "Masha and I now have the power to transform into awesome vehicles! Flying ones!"
"Fly! Fly!" Masha exclaimed cheerfully. Ucha shot him a sideways glance.
"Talk. Properly." he muttered under his breath. Ryou sighed and said, "Each vehicle can hold up to three people. You girls will be split into two groups, since there are six of you."
"We can do math, Shirogane!" Ichigo exclaimed impatiently, "Anyway, Berry can have Minto, thank you."
"Good!" retorted Minto, "But I also get Onee sama!"
"Yay! That means I'm with Ichigo onee chan and Retasu onee chan!" Purin cheered, hugging the two. Retasu smiled happily.
"Alright then, it's settled," said Ryou, "Tokyo Mew Mew, go!"

"Kether, who are those commoners below us?" asked Andi. Kether looked down and spotted the two women on the run.
"They appear to be voice actresses Mollie and Bella," she smirked, "Shall we abduct them?"
"Do it," said Zoey, "After all, we can't have too many members of The Flanderizations!"
"Alright. Got it." Andi said. A blue light beamed down and pulled the two women up into the shadows.
"Where did those troublemakers go?" Barbara hissed to herself before turning a corner and driving away on her motorcycle.
"It's a good thing all the voice actresses and their characters are together now!" said Amanda cheerfully.
"Not all of them," a deep, gruff voice said in a menacing tone, "There are still voice actresses in Japan who we haven't abducted yet. And the real Mew Mews are on their way up here. But they'll never reach us. Keep recruiting more minions. We need as much help as we can get."
"Roger," said Amanda, walking away to do something.
"Where on Earth are we?" Bella huddled up to Mollie, scared.
"You're not on Earth," an evil grin appeared in the shadows, "You're now part of the Abomination Apocalypse."
Meanwhile, in Japan, an anime convention had just opened up, and everyone was eager to watch their favourite childhood anime.
"I'm so glad I live in Japan and not America!" one teenage girl cheered, "Have you heard of 4kids Entertainment?"
"No, what's it like?" asked her best friend. The first girl shuddered and shivered before speaking.
"It's a channel that used to dub anime into English. Extremely badly, too." The second girl gasped at this statement.
"Now I'M glad I live in Japan too!" she sounded scared. A tough looking guy rolled his eyes as he walked past.
A bunch of little girls were getting their photos taken with a lady, with Tokyo Mew Mew franchise spread out all around the desk in front of her.
"Can I hear your Ichigo voice?" a little girl asked. The lady smiled, "Sure!"
"Aoyama kun! I believe in your smile!" she said, putting on a young girl voice. The kids all were in awe.
"Ichigo and Aoyama are such a cute couple!" an older, preteen girl was giggling with her friend, an American exchange student.
"Ew, no! Where I come from, everyone's all about Ichigo and Quiche!" the friend grimaced.
"But Quiche is a massive creep!" exclaimed the first girl, "Haven't you seen him kiss her without her permission?"
"But Aoyama is such a boring, dull, tree hugging Gary Stu!" the second girl whined.
"Girls, please don't argue," said the lady, "We can learn to respect all shippings in Tokyo Mew Mew."
"Sorry," the two friends shook hands and made up. Just then, the toy power pendant she was wearing began to glow and she jumped up.
"Excuse me girls, but I have to leave now. I'm sorry." She quickly rushed over to the elevator, which opened to reveal three other ladies inside.
"Hurry up, Saki san! Hisayo san is waiting for us in the carpark!" exclaimed one impatiently as Saki stepped into the elevator.
"Sorry Yumi san, I got here as fast as I could," she said as the elevator went down.
A youthful looking lady with pigtails in her hair was singing to herself in a cute, high pitched voice before the four other women all rushed towards her.
"I received a signal on my Power Pendant!" she exclaimed cheerfully, "There must be something big about to happen!"
"Alright then, Hisayo san, let's go!" said one woman as she jumped into the drivers' seat and started up the car, only for it to backfire.
"Junko san, is something wrong?" asked a woman in the back seat.
"Nothing, Kumi san, just a little bit of inconvenience." Junko turned the key again and this time the engine roared and the five women drove off into the rising sun.
/
"Those commoners fell for our fake signal."
"Good. Now we can focus on the real Mew Mews. Corina, give them a little taste of what's to come."
"Ok."
Mew Ichigo, Mew Lettuce and Mew Pudding were flying on a pink, fluffy (not unicorn) floating seat, which was climbing higher and higher into the air. After several minutes, they had finally managed to reach the darkening shadows. Suddenly, they were thrust back down, and the three Mews plummeted downwards through the sky.
"Masha, regain altitude!" Mew Lettuce called out in a scared tone. Masha straightened in the air and continued flying.
"There's no use!" Mew Ichigo shouted out, "We can't reach them!"
"We won't give up na no da!" Mew Pudding shouted out, "Bu-Ling and Kikki onee chan want everyone to be friends na no da!"
"Look! It's Berry san!" Mew Lettuce pointed about 20 metres away, where Mew Berry, Mew Mint and Mew Zakuro were hanging in a chain off of the strawberry-textured floating seat.
"Get back on, guys!" exclaimed the seat, "I know you can do it!"
"Fly higher, Ucha, I think I see something!" Berry exclaimed as they rose higher until they saw some light shining through. Berry swiftly jumped back on top of Ucha and pulled the other two girls up.
"Thanks Berry," said Mew Mint. Zakuro nodded as Berry looked up at the light. Suddenly, a head popped out, scaring the group. It was Corina.
"Oh hey LOSERS!" she said in a snobby tone. Mew Mint glared at her and yelled, "You have no business here, COMMONER!"
"Oh great a snob war. Just what we need…" Ucha muttered sarcastically. Mew Mint hit Ucha in response.
"Hey!" Mew Berry yelled, "Don't bully Ucha!"
"He insulted me!" she retorted. Mew Zakuro sighed in annoyance.
"I know the stress of this battle is getting to all of us, but please try and control it," she said.
"Sorry onee sama," said Mew Mint as she dodged the arrow that Mew Corina shot at her.
"You copied my weapon!" Mint yelled, "Now you'll pay!" She pulled out her own bow and shot the arrow at Corina, only for the imposter to disappear into the shadows again.
"Guys, I just realised something!" Mew Zakuro yelled but suddenly, Modern Spongebob appeared out of the clouds and laughed so loudly that Ucha lost altitude and fell.
"UCHA DO SOMETHING!" Mew Berry squealed but the robot was unconscious.
"Girls, I can fly, remember?" Mew Mint grabbed her two friends and flew them to the safety of a building top.
"UCHA!" Berry cried out as the robot fell past them.
"He'll be alright. Shirogane and Akasaka can fix him," said Mew Zakuro, "Anyway, I just realised something. Every time we try to attack the Flanderizations, they escape into the shadows."
Masha swooped down on the building top and Mew Ichigo, Mew Lettuce and Mew Pudding jumped off onto the roof.
"And we can't follow them, because the shadows just repel us," continued Zakuro, "Guys, these aren't normal shadows. It's a portal to another dimension, I'm assuming. It has to be."
"But how are we supposed to get there?" asked Mew Ichigo. The others all looked at each other with bewildered expressions.

There was a timid knock on the Café door. Ryou ignored it, but the knock became slightly louder. Ryou sighed and answered the door.
"We're closed today. Can't you read the sign?" Ryou snapped before seeing the sad, redhead girl shrink back into her turtleneck.
"I'm sorry Mr Shirogane…" she said in an upset tone, "It's just my brother talked me into working here with my friends, and…"
"Ringo?" asked Ryou, "I'm sorry but the other members of Tokyo Mew Mew are currently battling something very dangerous."
"Sowwy Mr Shirogane…" Ringo turned to walk away sadly, but Keiichiro appeared in the doorway and put a comforting hand on her shoulder.
"Don't be sad, Ringo san, it's a pleasure to see you again," he smiled politely, "Would you like some fruit juice?"
Once Ringo was sitting at the table, drinking her apple juice, she was startled by a loud CRASH right outside the café. Keiichiro ran outside to investigate.
"So, bad timing I know," said Ryou with his arms behind his head, "Listen Ringo, I advise you go back to your island or whatever because I'm pretty sure your healing powers aren't going to be much use in this battle."
"You don't know that, Ryou, this is a large battle where many people may get hurt," said Keiichiro, walking in with the robot, "Like poor Ucha here."
"Ucha! What happened!?" Ryou exclaimed, running up to them.
"I was trying to help…but that sponge guy laughed…it deafened me, it was so annoying!" Ucha coughed and closed his eyes.
"You fought well, Ucha." Keiichiro said solemnly, placing him down on the table next to Ringo's.
"He's not dead is he!?" Ringo almost cried. Keiichiro shook his head.
"No, he simply needs some rest," he said, "Ringo san, do you wish to know the severe details of what's taking place at this very moment?"
"I wanna help my friends! I need to know what's going on!" she cried out. Keiichiro pulled out a large rod.
"This Mew Aqua rod can link with your healing powers once the battle is over," he said, "I advise you wait until the right moment, Ringo san, because a lot of people may get hurt during this battle. Can I trust you with this very important task?"
Ringo nodded, "Yes sir!"

It may have looked like a small, old shed from the outside. But inside, was a secret, soundproof hideout filled with TVs and computers. One of the screens was illuminating the dark room along with blaring loud J-pop music as well as dancing rainbow super deformed cats. Two girls held onto each other, squealing happily. Suddenly, one of the girls stood up and said, "All of a sudden I'm hungry for some Mew Mew! See ya later, Toady!" she winked before vanishing into thin air, leaving nothing behind but rainbow sparkles. The other girl didn't seem surprised by this, instead simply continuing to watch the music video with a wide, happy smile on her face.
Mew Ichigo sighed as she looked up into the clouds.
"Girls, I'm afraid we can't do this," said Mew Mint, in an aggravated tone, "Like Onee sama said, it must be a portal to another dimension!"
"Of course you agree with your onee sama," said Mew Ichigo in a bitter tone. Mew Mint gave her a stern look.
"Don't YOU agree that this is a portal!?" she suddenly shouted. Mew Ichigo sighed again, this time with annoyance.
"Please don't fight," said Mew Lettuce, "The Flanderizations are probably trying to stress us out and make us into jerks like they are!"
"Are you calling me a jerk!?" Mew Mint exclaimed angrily. Mew Lettuce sweatdropped nervously, "N-no, Minto san! Th-that's not what I meant!"
"Leave Retasu alone!" Mew Ichigo yelled at Mew Mint.
"Please don't let me be the cause of this!" Mew Lettuce wailed.
Mew Pudding and Mew Zakuro were on the other side of the building top, avoiding the commotion.
"Bu-Ling doesn't like this na no da!" Mew Pudding said in a worried tone. Mew Zakuro closed her eyes dramatically and looked down at the city below.
"To a pessimist, we may have no hope. Bu-Ling, you're one of the biggest optimists I know. You have to give everyone words of encouragement. Please." Mew Zakuro looked into Mew Pudding's golden eyes. Mew Pudding nodded and grabbed a megaphone out of nowhere.
"Hey, where's Berry onee chan?" Mew Pudding suddenly asked. Mew Zakuro pointed at Mew Berry, who was standing at the edge of the building, looking over the side. Masha flew over to her, now back in his normal form.
"Berry, Berry! Don't be sad!" Masha nuzzled up to the cream coloured mew, "Ucha strong, Ucha strong!" he said cheerfully. Mew Berry sighed and then smiled.
"You always know how to cheer a girl up," said Mew Berry.
"Of course!" Mew Ichigo suddenly appeared behind her, "Masha just has that charm, doesn't he?"
"Attention all of Tokyo!" Mew Pudding suddenly shouted through the city, "We are under attack by something called Flanderizzies!"
"Flanderizations," Mew Zakuro corrected her.
"These Flanderizations include dubstep-"
"Dubs!" exclaimed Mew Mint impatiently, "Dubstep is evil and must be destroyed!"
"These Flanderizations include dub versions of us, a super annoying Spongebob, and heavens knows what else!" Mew Pudding announced as a crowd began to form, "We may not know how to reach their dimensi—dimen—world, but we won't give up until we find a way to make it into their dimension! Nothing will bring us down, not even during tough times! For we are Tokyo Mew Mew na no da!" she cheered through the roaring crowd as they cheered for the team.
"We're gonna need all the help we can get if we can get if we're gonna get into their dimension!" called out Ichigo.
"Someone say dimension?" asked a cheerful, high pitched voice. The Mew Mews all whirled around to see a very tall girl walking towards them, a smile on her face. She had blue shaggy hair, dark skin, and rainbow eyes. She also had cat ears and a tail.
"Are you a Mew Mew?" asked Mew Berry, The girl shook her head.
"No, I'm not a member of your organization. But I can still help!" she said cheerfully, "I have many names. Just call me Kino," she winked at the group of girls, "So, what do you need help with?"
"We need to get into the dimension of the Flanderizations to stop them from taking over the world," Mew Mint said impatiently, "I doubt you can help."
"I have the power to cross dimensions, you know!" she exclaimed cheerily, "But a dimension like that is too far to reach without help. I'll need to team up with my bestie for this!"
The Mew Mews watched in confusion as Kino created a small rainbow above her head and suddenly, a rainbow portal appeared next to her and out stepped another super tall girl. This one had pink shaggy hair, light skin and mismatched eyes, one blue and one pink. She also had giant fox ears and a fluffy fox tail.
"I received your signal, Kino chan!" she cheered, "Does someone need our help crossing dimensions!?" she became excited, "We get to be part of the story! EEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" the squealed together.
"These two seem like Mary Sues…" muttered Mew Mint in annoyance.
"Who cares if we're Mary Sues?" Kino asked, still smiling, "In order to stop the Flanderizations, you might need help from Mary Sues!"
"How does that work!?" exclaimed Mew Ichigo, "Anyway, it doesn't matter! I bet you two can't even cross dimensions anyways!"
"How do you think we got here?" the pink girl said in a giddy tone.
"Toady's right," said Kino, gesturing toward her friend, "We're from Real Life, and it just so happened that I decided to visit your world right when you were undergoing a crisis! What a weird coincidence!" she beamed.
"Or maybe you girls are just Mary Sues," Mew Mint muttered under her breath.
"Listen, d'ya want our help or not? Aren't you desperate here?" Kino cried out. The Mew Mews all exchanged looks, before Mew Mint finally said, "Alright. We'll allow you to help us. But if you cause the universe to implode, it's YOUR FAULT!"
"Fine," said Kino casually, "Toady, let's show them the stuff." Toady beamed and got out a large banana.
"What the heck is THAT for!?" exclaimed Mew Ichigo. Toady smiled in an almost creepy way and said, "This is how I create portals for large groups of people!"
"Whaaaaa?" said Mew Ichigo as Toady clicked on a button on the banana and the end opened up to reveal a laser pointer. She clicked another button and the laser pointer suddenly began to shoot out a large rainbow spiral into the sky.
"Kino, power me up!" Toady shouted out as Kino shot a rainbow trail into the sky, which caused the clouds in the sky to disappear and in their place, the rainbow portal swirled through the sky until the whole sky became one big rainbow coloured blur.
"Tastes like diabetes…" said Mew Zakuro, staring wide eyed at the sky above.
"We don't have any other powers, so we can only transport you there, but we can't help much in battle," said Kino as she rose into the air slightly.
"You're still Mary Sues…" Mew Mint muttered in annoyance. Kino reached out to the group.
"Mew Mews, grab my hand!" as soon as they did, the Mew Mews and Kino suddenly blasted up into the sky.
"Arigato Toady!" Kino called out before they disappeared into the rainbows. They flew through a portal of sparkles for a while until they became surrounded by shadows.
"Impossible! They found their way into our dimension!"
"Jeez, take a chill pill!" came Zoey's voice, "Remember who's the captain of this mission!"
"You simply found my dimension due to my foolishness. It's a good thing you were willing to help me. I thought after that little mistake I had blocked off the entrance for good. It must be the work of Mary Sues!"
"Mary Sues; the only thing worse than Flanderizations," Mollie said coldly, her eyes glowing red, "Of course they had to conveniently show up at the right time. I'll have the author's head for this."
"Guys, we're getting off topic!" Amanda exclaimed, "We have to find a way to eliminate all the well-developed characters of the world and replace them with cheesy, obnoxious and annoying characters like Zoey Hanson!" she gestured toward the redhead girl, who screamed in response, "YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!"
