MAGICAL GIRL LYRICAL CINDERELLA
CHARTER 05
"It surely was fun watching Kyon-kun playing the main role, wasn't it?" asked Imotou, even as she and her underage companions were having ice-cream sundaes at one of the stalls set up around the complex.
"I agree! I wish I could take part in the stage play, too," Annabelle uttered and took a scoopful of ice-cream. "Thanks for the ice-cream, Mrs. Lindy!"
"Not a problem, Anna-chan," Lindy said and giggled as the meteor girl took another spoonful of ice-cream. "How is it, Anna-chan?"
"It is very delicious!" Annabelle replied and feverishly finished the ice-cream.
"Let me try! Let me try!" Imotou took a gulp of the vanilla ice-cream and cooed in happiness. "Yummy! I want more!" she giggled with a moe smile.
Lindy giggled at the two girls' antic and turned her attention to Vivio and Lutecia. The two girls were quiet throughout the meal time, although with different reasons: Vivio was nervous, while Lutecia simply looked around her in intrigue. "What's the matter, Lutecia?" Lindy asked.
"It's nothing…" Lutecia answered. She noticed Lindy, Imotou and Annabelle were staring at her strangely due to the response (with the exception of Vivio who was begging Lindy for milkshake). "Well, I…"
"ZA WARUDO!"
Their session was disturbed when a look-alike of Dio Brando suddenly appeared on top of a mysteriously-materialized steamroll and made various poses before ended his antics with a scream of "WRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!"
"What's going on?" Lutecia asked, but nobody answered because the look-alike that turned out to be a white tiger was mysteriously hit by a baseball bat and got knocked off the vehicle. The purple-haired younger version of Rider looked at the direction the projectile was thrown and saw an angry pigtailed blonde screaming something at the tiger, while her companions (a butler and a maid) tried calming her down.
"Now, now, Milady," the blue-haired Ayasaki Hayate uttered, "this is not the place to misbehave. We have an exhibition to visit, ne?"
"Sou, ne…" Maria laughed in silliness.
The blond girl grumbled and approached the crippled white tiger, giving it another crippling flying kick that sent it flying into the sky.
"I get the feeling this is not going to be a good crossover to be…" Lutecia pondered and turned to the camera. "What should I do?"
"And so," a narrator that strangely sounded like Onsokumaru suddenly echoed in the air, "the mysterious adventure of our combat butler and his companions in the unknown land that is Mid-Childa has begun. What kind of challenges they may come across?"

// day four //
Shamal: "in the previous instalment of Magical Girl Lyrical Cinderella, we have been introduced to Ginga the royal announcer…"
HD screen showed the scene of Ginga making public service announcement on behalf of the Mid-Childan kingdom before she slipped off her feet when she returned to backstage. Fan boys suddenly shouted "SHIRO NO PANTSU!" and died off massive nose haemorrhage when Ginga involuntarily provided them the "service".
(Backstage, Ginga was complaining to Subaru and Teana regarding the fans' passionate support for her, and protested at the explicit scene. "Oneechan, you just don't have any idea about fan service, do you?" Subaru asked.)
Shamal: "We also met Prince Yuuno of Mid-Childa…"
Then another flashback scene took over. This time, it was Yuuno's turn in his glory and pride as the Mid-Childan warrior prince. Male audience roared in approval and shouted "FOR MID-CHILDA!" and "THIS IS MID-CHILDA!" many times, throwing fists and Devices into the air at the same time.
(Outside the building, Yuuno was pleading Carim not to ask him to wear the suit of King Leonidas for the rest of the play. "Unfortunately, Yuuno, I find you quite a handsome man in the dress," the priestess spoke and smiled cutely (or moe-ly.)
Shamal: "We also had the opportunity to see Cinderella's stepfamily planning to visit the kingdom's open day…"
After that, another flashback of the three Aces took place. The girls schemed on something not looking good, and audience suddenly sensed a murderous sense coming from them as they cackled and nodded to each other.
(Inside the dressing room, Nanoha and Hayate were asking Fate on her soon-to-be-executed plan on her adoptive sister. The Bardiche warrior simply giggled and replied with a wink as to say: "it's a secret." The girls growled and pounced at Fate, laughing all the way as they tickled the blonde girl on the waist.
"Iyah! Dame!"
Chrono quietly walked away from the room. Mission accomplished, now he had to treat his nose injury after eavesdropping on the girls' wittingly suggestive conversation.)
Shamal: "as we all know, the kingdom is going to have an open day for everyone."
Audience cheered and started blowing trumpets and throwing confetti. "Party! Party!" they chanted.
Shamal: "I haven't even finished my words."
"We don't really mind!" audience replied and continued cheering, occasionally tossing glassful of Pepsi above their head and laughing. "We're going to have party! Cheers, everyone!"
Shamal: "oh, well… not my job to keep them under control anyway…"
Audience booed Shamal. "Shamal doesn't want to have party with us," they mocked (Shamal twitched at the comment she heard). "Shamal only wants to play with Shamisen," one of the audiences teased and pointed to Shamisen that peacefully dozed on the woman's lap.
"Besides, Shamisen is a lucky bastard cat," another audience mumbled. "He gets to frolic with Shamal-sensei and her lovely tail, while we don't." Shamal snapped again, although she blushed furiously at the mention of her fake tail. "It's a pity not to be a feline creature."
Shamisen peacefully meowed and curled into a ball of furs. In an instant male audience turned into envious green monsters. They chanted "kill" and "die" in low voices almost in unison, and they produced numerous weaponries to assist their burning jealousy. Shamisen seemed to ignore the situation and continued dozing off in Shamal's warm lap.
Shamal: "anyway, let's begin with our presentation. I wonder what Cinderella is up to today."
At the cue music of "One-Winged Angel"--
"AH! NOT AGAIN!" Shari screamed and quickly switched the track.
At the cue music of "My December", Chrono walked out of backstage and approached a lone chair that was set up specifically for him. He sat on the chair, glared at the audience and turned away in disgust. "What do you want?" he grumbled.
"Boo, Mr. Cinderella is too embarrassed to admit he likes cross-dressing," one male audience mocked and flailed a mock-up of Chrono in maid uniform.
"True, true," his friend agreed and waved a puppet that looked like Chrono in Gothic dress in the air.
Chrono pretended he did not see them coming, but the more he ignored the more mockeries he received. Already he heard quotes like "Chrono's going to cross-dress as schoolgirl," and "Chrono has huge collection of female dresses in his stashes," and the young admiral shivered in fury at the comments he heard.
"What's next?"
"I bet Haraoun-kun is going to cross-dress as his own sister afterwards."
"Oh, that looks interesting. 100 bucks he will endure for 10 seconds."
"Make that 5 seconds."
"What about less than 0.0001 second?"
Chrono had it enough. He summoned Durandal from thin air. He glowered at the audience. Durandal suddenly increased in size and became a gigantic blade parallel to Fate's Zamber Mode Bardiche Assault.
"Waga na wa Cinderella, Cinderella Haraoun. Aku o tatsu tsurugi nari!"
Cinderella Haraoun killed male audience with EX+ Durandal.
Durandal being spun in rapid rotations, Chrono left the rest of the audience shivering and hugging each other as he sat back on the chair. He holstered Durandal over his shoulder, closed his eyes and said: "Waga Durandal ni… tateni mono nashi!"
It took only a few seconds before Chrono was kicked on the face by the combination of pissed-off Subaru and Ginga. "What the hell was that for, Nakajima?!" he roared.
"Admiral Haraoun, did anyone forget to tell you that plagiarizing Zen--" Ace Combat 04 missile alert buzz took over, "and his divine Zan--" a longer missile alert buzz echoed in the air, "is a COMPLETE NO-NO?" Subaru questioned and loaded her right Revolver Knuckle. "What do you say if we give our leader a lesson on Super--" and the name was safely censored by lion's roars, "ne, Oneechan?"
Ginga giggled and armed her left Revolver Knuckle. "Let's give him our trademark move we have learned from Gao--" and the name was again suppressed by artillery's firing sound. "Ikuyo, Subaru!"
"YOSSHA!!! REVOLVER KNUCKLE, SET UP!!!"
"REVOLVER KNUCKLE, ENGAGE!!!"
--"Yes, Master!"--
"SYMMETRICAL DOCKING!!!"
Subaru and Ginga punched Chrono on the face. Male audience revived from their untimely death and approved of the Nakajima Sisters' play. Gai Shishio, who for some baffling reasons decided to take part in the festival, cried hot-blooded tears of approval, as so did all men in the hall who started crying in support at the sisters.
"FINAL FUSION!!!"
Both Subaru's and Ginga's Barrier Jackets dispersed and transformed into a robot-looking body armour that enveloped Subaru's body. Ginga's Revolver Knuckle disengaged from its master and combined with Subaru's arsenal (the woman herself puzzlingly became Subaru's ghostly apparition). Subaru screamed a deafening battle cry, charged up and pounced at the appalled Chrono. At the same time, Vita appeared in her midget form, holding an enlarged Graf Eisen in her hand, and docked onto Subaru's right Revolver Knuckle.
"HIKARI!!!!!!"
Subaru swung Graf Eisen at Chrono's face.
"NI NARE!!!!!!!!!!!!"
The attack connected. Chrono was sent many miles high in the air and disappeared from everyone's sight for a long period of time. Smokes enveloped the stage, and it took a few minutes before everything became pure visible.
And there she was.
TSAB Officer Nakajima Subaru, in her glorious Gar Mode. Belkan cartridges could be seen scattered on the floor, a vital sign that an important battle had taken place in front of the people.
Subaru slammed the tip of Graf Eisen's handle on the floor. With a loud bellow, she screamed this quote that would certainly forever associate her with the most awesome super robot show in the universe.
"VICTORY GOES TO THOSE WITH COURAGE!!!!"
Male audiences roared.
-x-x-x-x-x-
Shamal: "having survived the onslaught of Final Symmetrical Docking Fusion Combined Attack, our heroine is now looking for an excuse to join the royal party."
Chrono returned from his sky cruises and dived onto a sofa that was prepared to soften the crash. Having survived the atmospheric trip and looking spent, Chrono somehow found himself glared by suspicious audience. "What is it again?"
"Is it just me or did Chrono's re-entry resembles Archer's first entrance?" a spectator asked.
"Ah, you must be referring to Tohsaka Rin's Servant, right?" his buddy added.
(Back at Tohsaka Residence, Archer sneezed and choked the milk tea he was having. "Cold?" Rin asked. "No; I believe someone's referencing me," he murmured and coughed in unease.)
"Plagiarizer," 50 percent of audience murmured.
"Copycat," another 50 percent of the people growled.
"Hey! HEY! Whatever you want to do with those stuffs, just leave me alone!" Chrono retorted and headed back to the left flank when he stepped onto a bundle of clothes. He picked the clothes up and was shocked to know it was a pair of black bras!
Fan girls squealed. "Chrosuke is pervert!" they screamed and cupped their flushed cheeks.
Fan boys pointed to the horror-stricken Chrono. "You peeked on your own sister again!????" they roared.
Chrono was caught in absolute panic. "This is not what like what you thought!" he replied and flailed his arms with the bras in hand. "You have to believe in me!"
"Wrong! You did peek on her! Don't say we didn't see what you did!" fan boys replied.
"KYAA! Chrosuke hentai!" fan girls shrieked.
Suddenly the hall became dark. The only light that was kept illuminating was a spotlight that was directed at Chrono. The former evil witch looked around in terror, realizing he was caught in the act. He was intimidated when he heard murderous chants echoing and whispering all around him, urging someone or anybody to finish him off.
"Let me take care of him, boy."
Everybody became dead silence. Another spotlight was turned on, and this time all eyes were focused on a woman in black clad heading towards Chrono in slow motion as she was illuminated by the light. All of them were shocked, because the woman was none other than--
-x-x-
"Fate Testarossa?" suddenly Sanzenin Nagi asked as she watched the stage play via outdoor screen.
"Milady, you seem to have vast knowledge on Time-Space Administrative Bureau," Hayate uttered. Standing beside him, Maria nodded as to agree and waved to some visitors who whistled to her before Tama the white tiger returned from its demise and terrorized them.
"Waga na wa Tama, Tama Sanzenin," Tama announced and withdrew a mock Zankantou. "Ningen o tatsu tsurugi nari!"
-x-x-
Fate chuckled. "Chrono-oniichan…" she addressed Chrono with intimidating voice.
"H-Haii, Fate-chan?"
Fate took out Bardiche's Device Core. She muttered something in low voice, and in seconds Bardiche transformed into a cat-o-nine-tails. Chrono was struck in horror, because the deployment of such weapon could only mean one thing:
"She has let the cat out of the bag!" someone shouted.
"OHNOES INTO THE BUNKER!" another screamed.
Fate laughed. "Surprised, my dear Oniichan?" So saying she tossed the black cloak and made all people bled their nose and blushed in excitement, for she was donning her Barrier Jacket's old Sonic Form!
(Backstage, Erio was ogling Fate in stimulation before Caro bopped his head with newspaper roll.)
"What the hell are you doing in that suit, Fate-chan?!" Chrono asked, unable to keep his nose from bleeding.
"Oh-ho, Oniichan doesn't want to admit his lecherous craving," she muttered and whipped Bardiche across the floor. "So what do you say if I fulfil the desire, my dear Oniichan?"
"What… what are you talking about?" It was too late for Chrono because Fate already caught him with Lightning Bind, and he was now strangled on the floor. "Hanaste, Fate-chan! I have nothing to do with this!"
"Then why did I find microphone on the changing room's door?" Fate questioned.
"I know nothing of it!" Chrono replied and screamed in agony when Fate slashed Bardiche Whip on his back. "Hanaste! Let go off me! Hanaste!"
For some unknown reasons, male audiences bled their nose and female audiences found themselves blushing due to the suggestively wrong voice and facial expression their "Cinderella Haraoun" made. Even Shamal had to turn away in embarrassment, unable to bear the absolute visual horror.
("Whoa, I didn't know Fate Testarossa is a dominatrix," Nagi uttered.
"Milady, I think you get the idea wrong…" Hayate suggested.)
Fate laughed. She had lost herself in a memory/fantasy of Precia, and she was now cracking the whip across Chrono's back as she punished him. "How you like it now?! Huh?! Whipping me even when I tried my hardest!" She dealt another lash across his back, causing him to scream in pain. "I fought so hard, straining myself above my limits against such a strong opponent! I did as well as anyone, no, even better than anyone could in those circumstances!" Cracking the whip three times in rapid succession, leaving bloody lashes where they met his skin, Fate screamed: "were you satisfied? NO! You deem I was weak and trying to break your heart! And now our roles are reversed, how do you like it now HUH?!"
Backstage, Caro and Erio, Teana and Subaru hugged each other in absolute horror at the sight. While the rest of the crews were aghast (Nanoha, especially, had her eyes bulging out of socket at the fact that Fate was acting REALLY out-of-character), Signum shook her head in amusement at what she was seeing. "Testarossa, your whipping techniques need refinement," she muttered with a chuckle. "Fortunately, Levantine and I will show you the proper way to use a whip."
Vita gulped at the remark. "Signum, you aren't helping with that comment."
"Tea, suddenly I'm so glad that Nanoha-san and Vita are in charge of us," Subaru gulped.
Turning her head to look at Erio and Caro, who had sank to their knees, shedding tears of despair and hugging each other even tighter, Teana warily nodded. "Haii, though I kind of feel sorry for those two now," she uttered.
Back on the stage, Chrono screamed in pain and managed to shake the very image of dominative Fate from his fantasy/memory. "What the hell was that for!? You don't have to really hit me you know!!" Sensing the stares of the audience, Chrono turned around and roared at them: "What do you people want… now?" and losing his courage at the sight of the audience all pointing devices at him.
One of the audience members shorted out: "Evil Witch Chrono!! Not only have you violated Fate-sama with tentacles but you also physically abuse her, your own sister! What kind of monster are you?! For the sake of the people we shall destroy you!" He, then, stood up and roared a battle cry. "Everyone! Are you with me!?"
"Rawr!! Rawr!! Rawr!!"
"Evil Witch Chrono! Tonight you dine alone in HELL!!"
-x-x-x-x-x-
"And so our presentation ends today. I had no idea that today's episode would take a drastic turn… to have super robot show references and Fate-chan acting like a deranged mistress…"
"As expected from our narrator herself," the mysterious Onsokumaru-sound-alike voice echoed. "Having to act normal and steady while the rest of people inside the hall cringe in a mix of bliss and terror. I somehow admire your courage."
"Please, Mister Anonymous, I really don't need your soothing words."
"And what will happen to our Cinderella Haraoun as we speak?" the voice continued.
"Why are you suddenly taking over my role?"
"What really happened to her stepmother that made her undergo radical transformation? Will Cinderella ever make it to the Royal Party? We will find out in the next episode of…"
MAGICAL GIRL LYRICAL CINDERELLA
A Lost Property Riot Force 6 presentation and it's mean to be a parody. Don't blame us; we just do whatever we're told.
Shamal sighed. "I don't think I'll get more screen time as usual…"
Shamisen meowed.
-x-x-x-x-x-
Nagi nodded. "Well, that was so much fun," she uttered. "What do you say if we go and buy the tickets, Hayate, Maria?"
"That's a good idea, Milady. I also find the stage play enjoyable," Hayate answered.
"Besides with all these people gathering around us," Maria spoke and pointed to cameramen who started taking pictures of them, "I don't think we'll be able to go home in time." Hayate laughed in amusement, whereas Nagi took no attention of the people as she was busy planning to buy the tickets.
"ZA WARUDO!!!!!!!" Tama roared. "WRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!"
