All Characters are the property of Frederator Studios, and I hope that the Manstache is something I dreamed up myself.
...
SheZow found herself in a deadly duel with SheZap, laser lipstick against laser lipstick, and punishing pink against ghastly green. It seemed that even though more time had passed for SheZap, it seemed her increased age more than made up for any increased training and experience she might have gained. And even though it seemed SheZap had superior laser lipstick as well, there was still no edge over SheZow.
She glanced over at the Manstache, who didn't seem to be having much trouble cleaning the clocks of Dark Snide-R's security forces with his mighty mustache-fists of fury. Even their plastic body armor did not seem to help them all that much, and like most flunky guards, they seemed to be unable to hit the broad side of a barn to boot.
"Hey SheZow," asked SheZap, "Did you have fun with your big sister?!"
"What are you talking about?" she asked back.
"I saw the video feed. Don't even try to deny it. What you and your sister were doing together was totally sick," sneered SheZap, "I thought it was great myself. Didn't know you had the pervert in you, your goodie-goodieness!"
SheZow suddenly realized what SheZap was talking about, and she was horribly embarrassed by it all. It wasn't planned, and it wasn't even their choice, but somehow the brainwashing set up in the cable television system by Dark Snide-R or one of his flunkies. She was so taken aback by SheZap's comments that a slash from her ghastly green laser lipstick managed to split the 'S' in SheZap's top, leaving it split down the front almost to her belly button. It was lucky the blade had only grazed the skin beneath it, but now the parts were flapping in the wind, and SheZap was getting more than a good look at SheZow's cleavage.
"That was a cheap trick, SheZap!" growled SheZow.
"You idiot," came the retort, "I was trying to KILL you, not get a peep show out of you!"
"Well I'm not going to let you distract me again!" she cried back, "You little cheater!"
Then something blunt struck SheZow in the back, sending her skidding face down across the grass and sidewalk. She rolled over to see dark Maz with some kind of oversized boxing gloves just behind the place she was just standing. In skidding across the ground, her top had peeled back and her breasts were now covered with grass stains. She used one hand to cover her chest as she scowled at Maz, but when she was distracted again, SheZap struck and knocked her laser lipstick out of her other hand.
"Damn you!" shouted SheZap at Maz, "This bitch is mine! Go play with the other freak!"
Without a word, Maz turned and went after the Manstache.
"Well, it looks like you finally managed to get the upper hand over me," commented SheZow. She knew her laser lipstick was knocked somewhere behind her, but was probably several feet away if not further.
"For the first and last time," came the answer.
"And you still couldn't beat me without help!"
"What are you trying to say?!"
"Obviously, you're still just a cheap and dark imitation of me!"
"You have 3 seconds to get back your laser lipstick before I start attacking you again, you little tramp! Make the most of it!"
SheZow smiled as she turned and lunged in the direction she thought her laser lipstick went flying. It was just the reaction she was looking for from SheZap.
"One thousand one..."
The laser lipstick was a bit further away than SheZow thought it would be.
"One thousand two..."
And SheZap was counting a bit on the fast side. She grabbed it, turned it on a she rolled over, and noticed that SheZap was already moving in to attack her.
"One thousand three!"
She just managed to block the blade in time, but using both hands to do so, her grass stained breasts were now quite on public display. SheZap laughed in her face as she taunted, "Well, you're a flasher now too? Have you no shame at all?!"
"I'm more concerned about surviving than my modesty," she shot back.
But SheZap had distracted her once more, and she barely saw the black boot come in until it had kicked her between her breasts, knocking her back even further and partly taking the wind out of her sails in the process. If the blow between her shoulder blades wasn't going to leave a mark, then this kick surely was. The fact she managed to keep her grip on her laser lipstick was about the only lucky break she was going to get.
"You're still so pathetically naive!" shouted SheZap as she advanced to attack again. She raised her arms for an overhead swing, but then changed her grip at the last second, spun around switching from a high strike to a low blow, and sent a rending slice from between SheZow's legs upwards. The slash split SheZow's skirt completely, and nearly split her belt buckle in half as well.
"You're doing a damn good job of stripping me, and you say I'm the pervert?!" she yelled back at SheZap.
"That's not what was supposed to happen!" replied SheZap angrily, "You were supposed to DIE just now!"
"Well if you want to see my tits so badly, then take a real good look at them!" She rested her elbows on the ground, arched her back, and let SheZap see her breasts in all their grass-stained glory. Her laser lipstick was laying on the ground in her hand, and she was all but open to another slash from SheZap.
But SheZap was flustered at SheZow's brazeness. She stepped back, her cheeks flush as she spluttered, "How dare you accuse me of... HOW DARE YOU IMPLY THAT... You little bitch, I'm NOT like THAT at all!"
"Oh really?!" scowled SheZow, "When you were talking about how you were watching me and my sister going at each other in the bathroom, you sounded like you were really turned on by the whole thing!"
"I! was! Not!"
SheZow grabbed the split buckle, and tore away her own skirt and belt. The spandex pants underneath were also slightly split slightly by the laser lipstick slash from SheZap.
"You want to see it all, don't you?!" she taunted.
"No!" screamed SheZap, "Stop it, you sicko!"
When SheZow put her hand over her own crotch, SheZap put one hand over the eyes. It was then that SheZow leaned forward and threw her laser lipstick at SheZap, the blade burying itself into the villain's chest. Looking down at the blade, SheZap got a horrific look just before falling backwards onto the sidewalk.
"If I can stop Dark Snide-R in the past," scowled SheZow, "I'll never have to feel sorry about doing that to you!"
But SheZap was not hearing her, as death had already taken place. SheZow retrieved her blade as she closed SheZap's eyes for the last time, at least in this future. She then took SheZap's laser lipstick as well, almost on a whim.
Looking around, she realized that Manstache had whipped all of the guards, and was now in a manly boxing event with Dark Maz. The two fought like champs, both in taking hits and dishing them out. They were both a little punch drunk, and both were sporting bruises on their face and other parts of the body not covered.
She lunged forward and buried both blades in Dark Maz's back just below the shoulder blades. He looked shocked at the blades emerged from the other side of his chest, but he only had a second or two to think about it before he fell to the ground.
"Miss SheZow?!" yelled the Manstache, "How could you! That's not honorable!"
"We don't have time," she yelled back, "and if we fix the past, this never will have happened!"
She rushed to Maz's side as he rolled over and looked her in the eyes. Slipping her hands around his chest, she lifted him up a few inches from the ground.
"You did what you had to, bro," he coughed, "Don't feel bad about it. Just make sure I never become..." But his breath failed as he died in her arms.
"My apprentice!" shouted someone close by, "He was your old friend too, and YOU JUST MURDERED HIM IN COLD BLOOD!"
She looked around to see Dark Snide-R standing among his fallen men with a blood red laser sword in his hand glowing brightly. He really looked mad.
"Because you made him into a monster he never was before!" yelled SheZow back.
"I never turned anyone into a monster if they weren't one already!"
She picked up both laser lipsticks and stood up from Maz's body.

The Wrath of Dark Snide-R
Episode 9, Part 2
By Neoraichu
"I'll KILL YOU FOR WHAT YOU'VE DONE TO MY APPRENTICE!" yelled Dark Snide-R as he stepped into an overhead swing down at SheZow. She put the blades crossed in a X-pattern as she blocked the blow. A shower of sparks erupted from where the blades crossed, and it wasn't very pleasant to feel them as they splattered across SheZow's all but bare chest.
"Well Maz didn't blame me for what you made me do!" shouted SheZow back.
"If you want a fight, monster," growled the Manstache, "then fight me! Don't take out your rage on a LITTLE GIRL!"
"Little girl?!" asked SheZow increduously.
"Fine!" growled Dark Snide-R, "Then you can die first!"
He took a slash at the Manstache, who blocked it with his mustache of power, but was trimmed a few inches off the end in the process. At the same time, he used the other half of his stache to throw a punch back at him, but only succeeded in landing a glancing blow off the villain's shoulder.
"Your mustache," said SheZow, "I thought it was supposed to be bulletproof?"
"Apparently not laser sword proof," he replied, "but don't you worry. I have plenty of stache left to beat some sense into this villain with!"
"Oh, I'll have you trimmed to stubs in just a minute," growled Dark Snide-R. But he was not distracted enough to let SheZow's double lipstick strike get in past his guard, using his own blade to block both lipsticks from her at once.
"You shouldn't interrupt a manly fight," growled Manstache.
"And I can't let you die for some macho stupidity!" yelled SheZow back.
"This is honor," he replied, "not some macho stupidity!"
"For someone calling themselves 'super hero', you certainly act like a super villain!" growled Dark Snide-R.
"I can afford honor when we're back in the past," she replied, "But now survival is more important right now than anyone's honor!"
"A hero must be honorable at all times!" retorted the Manstache, "Not just when having honor is convenient for them!"
"It seems we agree on something," answered Dark Snide-R, "If you survive this, I'll train you to be my new apprentice!"
"What good would I do serving you when you have the likes of SheZap working for you?" he asked back.
"And what good would it do you to go back to the past with someone who murders their own friends when it's convenient?"
SheZow took another double swing at Dark Snide-R as she yelled, "Stop playing your little mind games with us, monster!"
He blocked both strikes as he said, "and you have the nerve to call me monster?! The one who knocked out his own sister, hogtied her naked, and left her helpless in her own living room?!"
"You watched the video too?" asked SheZow, "But who is going to take advantage of her like that? Your own security forces?!"
"They're apparently more honorable than you are!" he replied.
"Talk about the kettle calling the pot black!" she snarled back.
"Do you really think you can throw aside all your beliefs just because you think you can go back to the past and change things?!"
"Yes!" shouted SheZow, "I do!"
Dark Snide-R jumped aside, barely avoiding a burst of She-hine Cannon and Sheatling Mini-Gun fire.
"She-Hind!" shouted SheZow. She was amazed at how the She-Hind had flown in without even making a sound. Stealth mode was really efficient. She hadn't even called to the She-Hind yet, and somehow she knew to come and get them.
"I'll get you and your little gunship too!" shouted Dark Snide-R as he vanished in a puff of smoke.
As the She-Hind circled to land, SheZow looked at the fallen forms of Maz and SheZap, and she cried, "I've lost my innocence today. I can never get it back now."
"Come on," said the Manstache, "No one is part redemption, Miss SheZow. Not if you're willing to be truly sorry for your misdeeds. Your innocence might be gone, but you can still be a good person and do good things."
When the Manstache hugged her against his chest, she let the laser lipsticks fall from her hands as she wept bitterly against him. She wrapped her arms about his chest as she wailed.
"There there miss," he said soothingly as he hugged her back and patted her just behind the shoulder blades, "let it all out."
"I'm so sorry!" she cried, "I never wanted to be like this! I have to go back and save Kelly!"
"We can't," he replied, "Saving them would only leave us the option of bringing them back to the past with us, and who knows how badly that would mess things up."
"I can't," she cried, "I'm no villain! I can't just leave Kelly helpless and alone! I just can't!" Breaking out of the Manstache's grip, she turned and ran back to Kelly's apartment. Her path was not straight because she was still partly blinded by her tears. He bent over and picked up the fallen laser lipsticks before he ran off after her. Glancing over his shoulder, he yelled to the She-Hind, "Follow close behind and be ready to pick us up fast!"
"Acknowledged," replied the gunship.
By the time he caught up with her, she just emerged from the apartment door holding Kelly in her arms, and apparently not taking time to untie, ungag or even dress his sister first. They were really in a hurry, after all. The She-Hind landed fast and opened her side door as they all piled inside.
"Take off and fast!" shouted SheZow, "It's time to go back to the past!"
