{{ FINALLY! This sucker is done! Seriously, the riffs have been
done for nearly six months, but I just couldn't get myself to hunker
down and write the host segments. And for the delay, I apologize to
Chan-Wu Yi - my co-MSTer this time out and to Runa27 over at the
GAFF forums. Finishing this is holding up my promised MSTing of one
of her earlier works. As for the fic itself, as (I think) I've said
before: if it weren't for the major league breaks in canon and the
ever-present, ever-potent Krista, this would be a pretty good fic.
Usagi Hoshiko does put together a rather readable fic - regardless
of _other_ issues. :)
And <shameless plug check out Usagi's webcomic
[http://www.hiddendisguises.com/] It's a good read.

[We open with a shot of Joel, Tom, and Crow standing around a water
cooler.]
CROW: This is the year, Tommy. This is the year I clean up in the
Final Four pool!
TOM: You say that every year. And every year you do something
insane that blows up your bracket.
CROW: Like you've never picked four 15-seeds for the Final FOur!
TOM: You need to play the percentages, Crow! You need go with the
traditional 5 over the 12. Never pick four #1 seeds! Never bet on
the white guy... Oh, wait! Wrong sport!
CROW: Anyway, what do you say, Joel?
JOEL: Well... I don't really pay that much attention to college
basketball. I sorta have a system.
TOM: You're not one of those "A tiger can beat an eagle" people are
you?
JOEL: ... Not exclusively... I also do colors. Y'know - primary
colors beat secondary. That sort of thing.
CROW: And just how do you keep winning the pool every year?
TOM: Either way, this is my...
[Tom is interrupted to the sight of TV's Frank (In a bathrobe)
walking into the foreground, sitting down at a table, and unfolding
a newspaper.]
CROW: [Whispering] What's he doing here?
TOM: [Whispering] I don't know! Joel, say something?
JOEL: Umm... Good morning, Frank?
FRANK: [Tips his coffee mug towards them] Morning fellas.
[Dr. Forrester (also in a bathrobe) enters the bridge]
Dr.F: Morning, Frank.
FRANK: Morning, Steve. Coffe's right behind you.
Dr.F: Thanks. You done with the sports?
FRANK: Sure. [Hands over section of the paper]
CROW: Um... Can we help you, gentlemen? Get you anything? Cream?
Sugar? What the hell are you doing on The Sattelite?
Dr.F: No. We're good. But now that you mention it, where is the
creamer?
FRANK: To your right, second shelf.
TOM: Okay, casual isn't working... Ahem... WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU
DOING UP HERE?!?
DR.F: What do you mean? Didn't you get my email?
CROW: The only email we got that looked like it was from you guys in
the last week was some 5k piece of gibberish about grouting our fish
with ketchup.
FRANK: Oh... Must've forgot to turn off the spam-filter defeaters.
My bad!
DR.F: Well the reason we're up here is because Deep 13 is being
fumigated.
JOEL: Roaches?
DR.F: [Stares meanacingly at Frank] Tribbles...
FRANK: Look, I said I was sorry!
DR.F: Long story short, we needed a place to crash for a couple of
days while they fumigate. So here we are.
TOM: What? The local Best Western was full?
DR.F: Do you know what they charge at those places?
FRANK: Look on the bright side: You don't have to come up with an
invention exchange this week.
DR.F: And before you ask - yes, you do have an experiment. It's
from your old friend Usagi Hoshiko.
FRANK: Have a blast with the sequel to "Life's Surprises" - "New
Beginnings!" It's Kristariffic!
[The Movie Sign alarm goes off]
ALL: WE GOT MOVIE...
TOM: HOLD IT! Hold it, guys! If they're up here, that means they
can't shut off the air if we don't go into the theater!
CROW: Hey yeah! No crappy fic for us this week!
JOEL: Yeah! How do like them apples! TOM: Yeah!
CROW: Yeah!
[Dr. Forrester calmly pulls out a remote control and presses a
large, red button. A plexiglass shield drops in from the ceiling.]
DR.F: You were saying?
JOEL: Um... We were saying "MOVIE SIGN!"

CROW: That was dirty pool! I'm filing a grievance!
> I felt that dividing this storyline up into several fics, like my

CROW: Thank heaven for small favors...
TOM: [British] Ah, this is obviously some strange usage of the word
"potent" that I wasn't previously aware of.
> This is turning out quite well.)
CROW: ...If you're a *masochist*! Bwahaha!
> As always, I own only those whose names you don't recognise.
TOM: I claim sole ownership of "Gshsoufoudsch!" JOEL: <CHUCKLE!>
> If you watch DBZ,
TOM: Report to De-Animetising Camp #3J for re-education.

CROW: ...This fic will make you "Disgruntled Postal Worker" mad.

CROW: [Usagi] Just Brad Pitt. So there! Nyah!

JOEL: [Usagi] You need to pick up the pace! Come on! Chop-chop!
> (that would be YOU, Ami-chan!) then don’t read this, it contains

TOM: [Usagi] Don't worry - I ripped off the best parts!
> Not much, but then Harry Potter is best experienced all at once.
CROW: Spoken like someone who hasn't seen how big books 4 and 5 are
yet.
> Ch. 1 (Talk of Harry Potter and buried emotions)
TOM: o/~ Long, long time ago. In a galaxy far away... o/~
> I guess I’m so easy to understand.
JOEL: [Krista] No words over two syllables!
> I just do whatever comes to me naturally.
JOEL: Violate the continuity of all you survey?
CROW: You call it "Violation," they call it "Creative License."
TOM: [British] o/~ Awl I hafta do is...Act Naaa-turally! o/~
> Sweet sweet you’re so sweet.
JOEL: Such deep, life-changing lyrics!
>I’m not simple minded.

TOM: Oh...
CROW: We now return you to Star Trek: DBZ, already in progress.
> They'd been malfunctioning, not giving enough thrust to launch the

JOEL: The wrecks were starting to pile like snow drifts.
CROW: You know, a little Viagra'll clear that right up.
TOM: Come on, Crow. Viagra jokes are *so* last Thursday.
> She sighed. Murphy's Law, she supposed.
TOM: "Boost ratings through unwarranted attacks by an unpopular
Vice-President?"
> Whatever can go wrong will.

> She looked up as Frieza entered the Command Centre.
CROW: ...And added a tally to the " ___ Days since I blew up a
subordinate" board.
> He gave her a curt nod and walked around the other stations.
CROW: So the Supreme Evil Overlord of the Multiverse bows his head
to... Krista?
TOM: Sir, the Mary-Sue detector's reading off the scale!
> She smiled faintly.
JOEL: [Krista, weakly] Was it good for you? Heh-heh...
> Only a couple of weeks into her career here on the planet and she
> was already beginning to settle into a routine.
TOM: Wake up, go to work, fear for life, go to sleep. Rinse,
repeat.
> Morning, Sergeant.
JOEL: [Krista] I KNOW NOTH... Er... Good morning, sir!
TOM: [Frieza] All right, who's creating words out of thin air
again? I said that's not funny!
> Good morning, Sir, she thought a little absently as Zarbon entered
> the Command Centre. She could almost feel Zarbon's shadow of a

TOM: [Krista] Back off, smirk! I'll cut you, man!
CROW: Playing the part of Zarbon - Fred Durst.
> A little busy?
TOM: [Krista] Oh just trying to keep the reactor from overloading
and killing everyone on the planet! Not busy at all!
CROW: [Frieza] Out loud, people! I'm the boss, need the "info".
Throw
me a frickin' bone, here!
> If I don't get these launching pads back on line, I'm done. Krista
> informed him.
JOEL: So, err, how do we tell the telepathy from the narration,
again?
CROW: And didn't she just shoot less-than-happy thoughts at
Frieza?
TOM: And hasn't been blown into a scorch mark yet, yes. But
remember, in this universe, Frieza is a manic-depressive who
switches between the trigger-happy bastard we know and Lou
Grant.
JOEL: Thanks for the recap, Tom!
> So far, I've tried everything I could think of,
JOEL: [Krista] Both of them!

CROW: [Krista] This is seriously harshing my buzz, man!
TOM: Sooo, you've run all the standard tests, and that didn't fix
it, so you're stumped? Some engineer...
JOEL: You make Baby Scotty cry!
> Tell Lord Frieza when he comes over.
JOEL: [Zarbon] Then start begging. He likes that.
> You're not our most skilled technician, you know.
CROW: [whistles] Ouch!
JOEL: A little tension in Frieza's office, there.
> You've done all you can.
CROW: [Zarbon] Wasn't much, but still...
> Krista sighed both inwardly and outwardly. I suppose so...but I
> wish I could do more...
JOEL: [Krista] But I'm just a dumb ol' *girl*!
TOM: [Zarbon] Well, who do you think you are, some sort of ubergirl?
Oh... Wait.
> Don't stretch yourself Sergeant, Zarbon warned her.
JOEL: [Zarbon, southern accent] We don't take kindly to no pers'nal
devel'pment round heah.
> It wouldn't be a good idea if you had a breakdown.
CROW: [Zarbon] Y'know, like the launching pads here... Sorry.
> Krista was pondering this when Frieza stepped over to her.
>
> "How are you doing, Sergeant?"
JOEL: [Krista] PLEASEDONTKILL... Err.. Fine, sir!
TOM: [Frieza] Found out why I don't have telepathy yet?
> "Sir, I've been working on the Launching Pad problem, but I can't
> seem to find an answer," she informed him. Frieza frowned.
TOM: [Krista] Forgive my intense stupidity, sir!
CROW: [Frieza] You're SOOO getting a lump of coal in your stocking.
> "You've done all you can, Sergeant.
JOEL: [Zarbon, whiny] Frieza, I already said that!
TOM: See, he *can* read minds!
> Stand down and work on something else for a while."
TOM: [Frieza] There's some Mad Libs under the table.
CROW: [Frieza] Go fail at something else to take your mind off
failing, you failure.
> "Yes sir," she said softly. She stood and moved to another
> tactical console, choosing to take inventory of their weapons
> stores.
JOEL: [Krista] Let's see... 250 bullets... 126 shotgun shells... 96
energy units... Wait a second...
TOM: So not only can she choose her own job duties, when she can't
do her job, he lets her pick a new one?
CROW: Man, that Frieza's a heck of a boss!
> That wasn't so hard, was it?
>
> Oh quiet.
TOM: Now, was that an inner voice, or was that more telepathy, or
the narrator...?
JOEL: Italics, underlining, brackets! Differentiate, Usagi,
differentiate!
DR.F: [Over intercom] Actually, the telepathic stuff _was_ in
italics, in the original. But that doesn't translate into text.
TOM: Oh... Guess that explains that.
ALL: Sorry, Usagi!
> This time, she actually saw Zarbon's smile
TOM: [Krista] Hey, I should open my eyes more often!
> as he checked up on the security stations. She shook her head and
> tapped a few buttons on her display, bringing up the charge meter

CROW: [Krista] This'll teach Private Zkatx to park in *MY* spot!!!
> "So what happened then??"
JOEL: [Krista] Oh, I killed my entire class. Sad, really...
> Krista grinned. Mere was turning into quite the Harry Potter fan.
CROW: [Krista, sinisterly] One by one, my legions grow! Excellent!
JOEL: Soon she'd be initiating Mere into the coven and teaching him
prayers to *Satan*!
> She smiled.
TOM: [Krista, brightly] Time to die!
> "Well, Harry was awoken by Ron's scream and a ripping sound.
TOM: [Krista] Ron had gotten hold of some "Every Gastric Distress
Beans."
> When he got out of bed, Ron's curtains had been ripped to shreds
> and Ron was claiming that Sirius Black had been standing over him
> with a knife.
JOEL: [Krista] And a fork. Very disturbing.
TOM: [Prof. McGonagall]*Weasley*, are you and Seamus playing
'Murderer and Victim' again?
> When he'd screamed, though, Sirius had ran."
>
> "That's odd," Mere said.
CROW: [Mere] I never saw that one in the movie!
> "If Sirius realized he'd gotten the wrong bed,
JOEL: [Sirius] Someone's been sleeping in *my* bed!
> why didn't he just silence him and move on to Harry?
CROW: [Mere] Or better still, why didn't he just summon ki and blow
the entire castle to Hell?
TOM: [Musquo] It's what I would've done!
> For that matter, how'd he get past the painting of Sir Cadogan?"
>
> "I can answer the second question now, but not the first," Krista
> smirked.
CROW: Mere answered her smirk with a right cross, and then all hell
broke loose.
> "Spoils the story.
> JOEL: <COUGH!>hewasafterscabbers<COUGH!>
> Anyway, remember Neville had written Sir Cadogan's passwords for
> the week down on a piece of paper?
TOM: [Mere] Yeah, he got them by ceding the Sudetenland.
CROW: A little shout out to you WWII buffs out there!
> Somehow Sirius got hold of it and read off the entire weeks
> passwords, and Sir Cadogan let him in."
CROW: That wouldn't have happened if that was a picture of John
Ashcroft, by God!
> Musquo chuckled as Mere's eyes widened. "What did Professor
> McGonagall do to him??"
JOEL: [Krista] He brought out the honey and the nipple clamps,
and--Sorry, wrong book.
TOM: [Krista] Gave him to the local Black Mage. A bit harsh, but
examples needed to be made.
> Krista opened her mouth to answer when Musquo chimed in.
JOEL: [Musquo] Why are we going on and on about Harry FRIKKIN'
Potter!?!
> "Knowing her, probably transfigured him into a rabbit, or maybe an
> owl."
TOM: [Musquo] Yes, yes! A rabbit! And then she'd set the hawks
after him! And he'd run and run and run and the hawks would
finally catch him and there'd be blood! Oh yes - so much blood!
Heh heh... Er... What was the question again?
> Krista grinned. "That would have made it more interesting...she
> just gave him detention and forbid him to receive the password
> again. And the Fat Lady was brought back."
JOEL: Anna Nicole Smith?
TOM: D'oh!
CROW: [Anna Nicole] C'mon, y'all! Gimme the password!
> "After her picture was slashed?" Kuao asked incredulously.
JOEL: Oh yuck - Hermione/Fat Lady fics!
BOTS: EWWWW!!!
> "The Fat Lady always struck me as having more sense than that."
>
> "She does," Krista giggled. "She didn't go back until Dumbledore

TOM: Missiles!
> a security detail, which came in the form of some gnomes."
CROW: Trolls, actually. But I still like Tom's idea better.
> Krista stretched. "Enough Harry Potter talk.
TOM: [Krista] Don't wanna get sued for plagiarism.
> Mere, you were telling me earlier about the different men who've
> been here?"
JOEL: Oh, WOW!
CROW: I didn't know this was _that_ kind of military!
TOM: [Mere] The girls made a killing to-night, Madam!
> Mere grinned. "Of course. Where was I?"
CROW: [Mere] Oh yeah! So there I was, getting paddled by Vegeta...
> "You were speaking about arrogance..."
CROW: [Mere] Right! But, enough of about Krista...
ALL: BA DUM BUMP!
> Kuao said solemnly, though he was grinning as well. Mere nodded.
>
> "Of course. Arrogance.
ALL: [Whispering] Calvin Klein!
> Well, as you can imagine,
TOM: [Mere] ...Krista is the central figure in *any* such
discussion.
CROW: [Krista] HEY!!!

TOM: Details, details...

>
> "Don't I know it," Krista said, rolling her eyes and smiling.
JOEL: [Krista] But his ego's no match for mine!
> Musquo nodded.
CROW: [Musquo] Damn right!

CROW: [Krista] I know... <SIGH!> Dreamy!

TOM: [Mere] But since we're all spineless pusses, we never will.
> Krista smirked. "Then maybe I should."
>
> Kuao raised a brow. "Oh?"
JOEL: [Kuao] Feeling suicidal, are we?
TOM: [Kuao] Since when does 'stand up to him' mean 'huddling in a
corner whimpering "Please don't hurt me"'?
> "Yes. I mean, I did hold him off when we were fighting on my

JOEL: [Krista] Convinced of my superiority yet?
TOM: Begin adulation of Mary-Sue in 5...4...3...
> All three registered complete shock.
ALL: [The trio] YOU'RE HIGH!
> "Y-you're a match for Zarbon?" Musquo finally squeaked.
TOM: [Musquo] Surely the author herself walks with you.
> He shook his head, then looked up at her, an entirely new respect
> for her in his eyes. "No matter what happens, you continue to

CROW: [Krista] Woo! I feel five pounds lighter! JOEL: Eww...
> "I'm not that outstanding-"
JOEL: [Musquo] Oh, really? Forget it, then!
> "Tell me," Mere said. "Were you one of the strongest on your

> Krista sighed.
TOM: [Krista] Do I have to do all your thinking for you?
JOEL: [Krista] Wait... Is "my planet" the same as "my own little
world?"
> "I wish. I was only a novice. Probably still am."
CROW: Truth hurts, don't it?
> Mere glanced at his companions, and saw that they were thinking
> the same thing:
ALL: SHE'S HOT!!!
[CROW wolf whistles.]
> If this girl was a novice, what would their strongest have done?
JOEL: And why did he let Frieza run off with Krista?
> He glanced at her again.
TOM: [Krista] What did I tell you about glancing at me?
> Something told him that she was going to shake the compound before
> she left.
CROW: He remembered today was "Bean-a-Palooza" at the cafeteria.
> She grinned.
JOEL: [zoo guide] See how the Mary-Sue reacts when basking in the
praise of lesser beings.
> "You want to talk Arrogant, but you haven't mentioned Vegeta yet!"
>
> Musquo laughed. "I was getting to him.
TOM: [Musquo] But then you jumped in with the 'holding off Zarbon'
thing, and I figured no one could top that.
> Actually, I've not met a sayajin yet that wasn't somewhat
> arrogant. Of course, they deserve to be..."
CROW: [Musquo] Well... The two and a half that are still alive,
anyway.
> She sighed and flopped back on her bed.
JOEL: Uh, I think the scene just changed...
TOM: Okay, scene changes definitely should not begin with a pronoun.
CROW: [Whistles] Here, Scene Change Marker!
> She turned over onto her stomach and began to
ALL: [Nervously] HEY HEY HEY *HEY*!
> put the finishing touches on the picture.
ALL: WHEW!
> She began singing to herself softly in Japanese.

> "Arashi no naka o kazenukete,

JOEL: We apologize to anyone who was offended by that last line. The

TOM: HEY!
> A soft chime from her door made her halt both activities.
CROW: [Krista] 'Bout time that pizza guy got here!
> She stood and opened the door. Just as she'd thought,
TOM: It was some big fat hermaphrodite with a Flock-Of-Seagulls
haircut and only one nostril.
JOEL: [Krista] Oh man, I hate it when I'm right!
> Zarbon was there. His visits had become daily, and he usually came

JOEL: Oh, WOW! CROW: No wonder everyone called him 'The Minute Man'.
> I haven't interrupted anything, Sergeant?
TOM: [Krista, sighing] No, nothing. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm
going to take a LONG cold shower.
> Nothing vital, she thought with amusement. Have a seat. I was just

CROW: [Krista] It's called "Die, Zarbon, Die!"
> May I see? Zarbon thought with interest. Krista showed him. He

TOM: [Zarbon] You sure it's legal to do that with a turkey baster?
> He recognized the girl in the picture.
CROW: [Zarbon] MOM?!?
> It was the same young girl who, after killing Kui, had been killed

JOEL: [Zarbon] Hmm... No... She's not nearly dead enough here.
> So you do remember Sakura Avalon, she thought, gently tugging the

CROW: [Zarbon] Let's see...boiled away into space when we
disintegrated her planet? Um, blown up by a colored energy
blast? Err...punched to death seventy-million times in a
poorly-animated fight sequence? Am I getting warmer?
> I wasn't sure you would. After all, here her thoughts became

TOM: [Zarbon, blissfully] A lot of fun, eh what? Ah, memories...
Wait - that was that "sarcasm" thing again, wasn't it?
> A sigh reverberated through her mind. Did everything go all right

>
> Fine as usual, Commander.
CROW: [Krista] We swooped in, killed everything that moved, and ate
everything that didn't.
> You really ought to give me some credit. I know now to come to you

TOM: Of course, it took nearly getting raped by Dodoria to hammer
that lesson home. But don't let that spoil the mood!
> Zarbon was silent a few moments, keeping his thoughts to himself.
JOEL: [Krista] C'mon, gimme your thoughts! TOM: [Zarbon] Nuh-uh!
> You are aware that you are up for a promotion?
>
> Promotion? For what?
CROW: [Zarbon] Survival.
> Zarbon smiled, and this time spoke aloud.
TOM: [Zarbon] Wait, force air from my lungs and shape it into
recognizable sounds? Bah! Only primitive lifeforms do that!

TOM: So Frieza runs a Klingon ship?
CROW: Screw leadership ability, then! All you need is a big gun and
the willingness to use it!

JOEL: It's so big of you to admit that.

TOM: Given she was only eight...

CROW: [Zarbon] HA HA HA HA HA HA no.

JOEL: [Zarbon] Hell, a few well-placed energy blasts, and you'll
make Major by next month!
CROW: Experience? Bah! Who needs it?

ALL: BAD TOUCH!

TOM: [Kuao] At least fifty per cent. Maybe twenty. Okay, you don't

JOEL: [Krista] ...*That's* what these countless hours of ping-pong

TOM: [Krista] You mean that thing with the ferret and the nipple

JOEL: [Zarbon] No, no... That's how I got my parking space.

TOM: [Zarbon] Have you looked at Frieza's feet? Pedicures. Lots of
them.

CROW: [Zarbon] ...Except it wasn't rigged to kill you. DAH, I

TOM: So if I read this right, if things bounce the right way, even
a
meathead like Recoome or Nappa could be Frieza's second?
JOEL: Well, it's not like Frieza's lieutenant needs to do anything
more complicated than yell "SHAPE UP OR I'LL KILL YOU!"
> What happened to the old one?
JOEL: [Zarbon] Traded him to Galaxia for a Senshi to be named later.
> Zarbon smirked. He had a little...accident.
TOM: [Zarbon] He accidentally shot himself. In the back. With a
shotgun.
> Let something slip out to Lord Frieza he shouldn’t have.

JOEL: [Zarbon] It's in the script.

"Be careful what you wish for" to his publishers?

designs of Dragonball GT? Or that allegedly, Vegeta's flattop and

TOM: Yes, yes. Very amusing. NOW CAN WE PLEASE GET BACK TO THE
ACTUAL PLOT OF _THIS_ STORY, *PLEASE?!?*

CROW: Good thing you never got to read "Goblet of Fire" then. Sounds

TOM: [random soldier] Yeah, come into *my* story and see how far
*you* get!
> A soldier passed behind her and she stiffened as she felt a hand

ALL: BAD TOUCH!
JOEL: [Krista] Grab my butt all you want, guys, but only for a
second
so everyone can have a turn!
> She whirled around to see one of the Ginyu-Burter,
CROW: [Burter, smugly] I like big butts and I cannot lie!
JOEL: What's a "Ginyu-Burter"?
TOM: I think it's some sort of Japanese sandwich spread.
> she thought, smirking at her in a way that told her immediately
> that he was the culprit.
TOM: [Krista] BURTER NO HENTAI!!! HIIIII-YA!
> She didn’t contact Zarbon just yet.
TOM: She'd wait for further humiliation.
> Perhaps she could handle this herself.
JOEL: Or perhaps he'll leave you a broken, bleeding heap. CROW: One
can only hope.
> "Watch it," she said, her voice soft but with a hint of steel in
> it. "Or next time you may lose that hand."
TOM: [Krista] Seriously. Black holes have been springing from my
butt, lately.
CROW: So I guess she's...spitting bullets! JOEL: No!
> Burter smirked wider. He raised his voice so the entire Mess could
> hear. "So she does have spirit.
CROW: [British] Has what, sir?
TOM: [British] Spiwit.
CROW: [British] Yes, he did, sir!
TOM: [British] No no, spiwit! Bwawado! A touch of dewwing-do!
CROW: [British] Uh, about eleven, sir!
> And all this time I thought all you could do was talk and giggle.
JOEL: [Krista] No, I can also smirk.
> Are you so shy when you’re being fucked too?"
CROW: [Krista] Actually, I'm rather aggres... HEY!
> Krista flushed scarlet,
JOEL: Vivian Leigh, NO!
> and before Burter could react he found himself pressed up to the

TOM: Sue Storm *IS* Krista Hashiba *IN* "Fantastic Four: New
Beginnings!"
> Or not so invisible, Krista’s blue hair was floating away from her

> power to keep him there.
JOEL: The power also created a large fan to blow her hair.
> She walked up to him calmly and, with the force of her powers,
> punched him in the gut.
CROW: [Burter] Man, maybe I should use my powers to do something!
> It was as if he’d been rammed with a steel girder and once she let
> him go,
JOEL: ...She noticed he was *dead*. TOM: [Krista] Oopsie!
> he crumpled to the ground. He managed to stand and look at her, a
> smirk playing over his face once again.
CROW: He should really put that smirk on a leash or something...
TOM: [Kevin Meany] Letting your smirk play like that! That's just
not right!
> "You like it rough? I’ll remember that for later."
JOEL: [Burter] I like being slapped around! CROW: Okay! He's a
bastard! We get it!
> As Krista’s eyes glinted and she pulled her arm back to aim one of
> her most powerful attacks at him,
JOEL: Yeah, since that really stopped him the first time.
TOM: Why is she responding to this like a man? Wouldn't a womyn
reduce this guy to a blubbering mass of tears with a few
cutting remarks about his manhood?
JOEL: Hurts more than a steel girder to the gut, let me tell you.
> Zarbon came pushing through the crowd.
CROW: [Zarbon] S'cuse me! One side! Pretty boy coming through!
> He assessed the situation quickly. He, along with the entire hall
> had heard Burter’s comments and he knew that Burter had gotten
> what he’d deserved.
JOEL: A punch that didn't even take the smirk off his face?
> Krista, however, was so angry right now she’d likely kill him
> before she got a chance to fight him.
CROW: Especially since Brain Child here isn't even defending
himself...
JOEL: And this would be wrong, why?
> Back off, Lieutenant. You’ve taught him his lesson for right now,
TOM: Yep, he's learned that weak innuendo causes Krista to make
herself look like a boob.
> and you have a chance to do so again tomorrow. The semi-finals,
> remember?
TOM: [Krista] Ummm... No?
JOEL: [Krista] Oh! Right! A chance to inflict more pain and
humiliation! Got it!
> You heard him, didn’t you?
CROW: [Zarbon, sighing] Do we have to go over the
'sticks-and-stones'
rhyme again?
TOM: Is anyone else a trifle bothered that she's more angry at
his lewd comments than his sexual assault?
> Even Krista’s thoughts were filled with indignation.
TOM: [Narrator] Or it could've been a recap of last night's "Six
Feet Under." We've never been quite sure.
> I didn’t even let you get away with that shit.
CROW: [Krista] I let you trample on my dignity in *much* more
creative ways!
JOEL: Well, Zarbon was trying to kill you. Burter was just being a
jerk. There's a difference.
> Be that as it may, Zarbon let a warning tone enter into his
> thoughts.
TOM: BEEEEEEEEEEE...
JOEL: This has been a test of the Emergency Broadcast Zarbon.
CROW: If these had been actual thoughts, the warning tone you just
heard would have been followed by something substantive.
> You’ve done all you can right now. Leave him Krista.
JOEL: [Zarbon] ...and change *your* name to Broomhilda!
> Krista let the power fizzle out. She spit on him before stalking

TOM: [Krista] HOCK-TOOIE!!! JOEL: [Zarbon] Hey! What did *I* do?

CROW: [Zarbon] God, what a puss! At least say, 'Kamehameha!' or
something.
> As the crowd dispersed, Jeice walked up to Burter who grinned in a

TOM: [Burter] I let her do that! Really!
> "She’ll definitely be fun."
ALL: TO TOR-CHAAAA!!!
> Ch. 3 (Boy, guys are jerks)
> JOEL: Motto of thirteen-year-old girls everywhere.
> I won’t be a sucker.
CROW: I'll be a Jolly Rancher!
> I’ll never be your lover.
TOM: Your touch makes me physically ill!
> I’d rather make you suffer,
JOEL: ...The Courtney Love Story.
> You stupid Mother-fucker.
JOEL: The Courtney Love Story, Part II. TOM: Lyrics by Andrew Dice
Clay.
> -Son of a Gun, Janet Jackson (this song is now my theme song.)
CROW: The FCC immediately threatened fines!
> Krista awoke with a distinct feeling of nausea.
CROW: [Krista] I've been dreaming about a Janet Jackson song.
> She remembered what had transpired the day before and wasn’t
> looking too forward to fighting Burter.
JOEL: She'd heard bad things about his "Horny Octopus" fighting
style.
TOM: [Krista] I don't want to *fight* him. I just want to
torture him mercilessly whilst he lies helplessly before me.
> A look at the shift monitor told her she didn’t have long until

TOM: WHAP! JOEL: [Krista] Owie!

CROW: [Krista] o/~ Workin' "¥" to "§" / What a way to make a livin!
o/~

> Frieza looked up sharply. "What is it?"
TOM: [Nameless officer] A term of respect used by officers and
enlisted personnel when addressing a superior officer. But
that's not important right now.
> "I’m getting a report of something wrong in Section 13."
JOEL: [Nameless officer] Dr. Forrester's killing Frank, again.
CROW: [Frieza, groaning] That's the eighth time this week! And it's
Tuesday!
> Frieza frowned. "Son of a-Zarbon!"
>
> Zarbon nodded. "On it." He hurried out.
>
> Make sure you tell me what’s going on!
>
> Are humans always so nosy?
TOM: [Krista] Nope - just me!
> Oh definitely! That’s why we invented the telephone, television,

>
> And you wonder why your planet is in trouble.
JOEL: I thought it was the lack of overpowered psychos.
> I ought to introduce you to talk shows sometime.
CROW: Just how is she doing her job and riding shotgun in Zarbon's
head at the same time, anyway?
JOEL: She's a woman of many talents.
> Zarbon rolled his eyes as he hurried to Section 13, passing a
> black being on the way.
TOM: [Zarbon] Hey, Shaq. CROW: [Shaq] 'Sup, Zarbon.
> The Captain said hi to him, but he paid it absolutely no mind. He
> had an idea he already knew what was wrong.
TOM: Okay, I'm totally lost. Who's the Captain? Is the Negro fellow
the one who knows what's wrong, or the Captain, or Zarbon?
JOEL: Smile, nod, move on.
> As he entered Section 13, he saw that he had been right. A fight

BOTS: [Guido and Burter] We're looking on in amusement!
JOEL: Looks like Ambassador Sarek's nearby....
CROW: Somebody must have said the Enterprise should be hauled away
as
garbage.
> Racoom knocked the smaller being into the wall next to the
> entrance as Zarbon had entered. Guido cast two of his eyes on
> Zarbon and grinned.
>
> "Frieza sent the pansy to stop you guys," he said. Burter grinned

JOEL: [Burter] Third time this week! Frieza must really hate you!
TOM: So Zarbon doesn't want to look weak in front of the Ginyu, but
they call him 'pansy' anyway? CROW: He just doesn't want to
look bad in front of the hot chick.
TOM: Umm...
CROW: Krista.
TOM: Oh, riiiight! DUH!
> "Come to separate them?" He chuckled. "Good luck."
> Zarbon snarled. But Burter had a point. Despite his boasting to
> Krista, he wasn’t as much of a match for the Ginyu as he’d said.
ALL: [Sarcastically] Noooo!
> I’ll be sure to remember that, Commander.
>
> Perfect, Krista was still listening in on his thoughts.
CROW: I see we don't have "privacy" on Planet Krista.
TOM: I don't get it. Is she *reading* his mind, or does she only
see
what he sends her? Would he allow her to live if she could
read his mind? If she can't, then why would he be sending her
his thoughts now? Does a mere lieutenant need to know about a
situation he's decided to handle personally?
JOEL: Smile and nod; Mary-Sue knows all.
> Sighing, he grabbed Jeice by the arm as the Ginyu member launched
> himself at Racoom. He was immediately thrown back into the doorway
> as Jeice flung him off and hit Racoom in the gut.
ALL: FACED!!!
> Zarbon shook his head in a feeble attempt to clear it.
TOM: Okay, honestly, has that *ever* worked? JOEL: It does for a
second, truthfully.
> This was going to be fun.
CROW: Letting two guys intent on pounding _each other_ bounce you
around as an afterthought? Sure! I'd say so!
> Would you like some help? Krista’s thoughts were ripe with
> amusement.
JOEL: [Krista] I'm just itching to give the Ginyu a chance to go
street gang on me!
> Zarbon shook his head visibly in response to her question.
>
> Last thing I need is for the new girl to save my ass.
TOM: [Zarbon] I mean, the Ginyu respect me so much. I can't
jeopardize that.
> Suit yourself. Some of you guys seem to love the healing tanks.
TOM: Oh come ON! In a *real* military, an officer would absolutely
*ream* a subordinate who challenged him like that! And this
is a collection of *super-villains*! How much *worse* should
they be?!
CROW: You're calling *this* a "real military?"
> Shut up.
TOM: You tell 'er, Zarbon!
> He could see Krista shrugging in his mind’s eye and he knew she’d
> closed the connection.
CROW: [recording] Your mind has been off the hook for an extended
period of time....
JOEL: [Zarbon] Note to self: See if Med Lab has some "Annoying
Über girl" mental filters...
> He began to gear up for a blast when
TOM: He realized that would just make them mad and powered down.

JOEL: Gee, hmm...I wonder who it could be....
> The looked up sheepishly and backed off from each other, still

CROW: Playing the part of Ginyu - Jonathan Frakes.
> "I’ll deal with you two later," Ginyu said to Jeice and Racoom. He
> then turned to Zarbon in a very self-satisfied way.
TOM: [Captain Ginyu] Wait, why do we have you again?
> "Tell Frieza I’ve got all of this under control."
JOEL: [Captain Ginyu] You really should have got the new girl to
save
your ass.
> Zarbon nodded, turned and left without a single word, his fingers
> flexing as he did so. He was itching to put them around Ginyu’s
> throat and choke that god damn smug look off of his face.
TOM: Why? Zarbon obviously couldn't handle the situation whilst
Ginyu could. Not his fault Zarbon's a pussmaster general.
JOEL: Doesn't mean Ginyu had to be a bad sport about it...
> He returned to the Command Centre and tried his best to look calm
> and unbothered. "Captain Ginyu has everything under control," he
> reported.
JOEL: [Zarbon] As for me, I'm a weenie, sir.
> Frieza frowned again but said nothing.
CROW: [Frieza, thinking] Punked again, eh Zarbon?
> Okay, what happened?
TOM: Y'know, it's considered good manners to knock before entering
someone's room. Why is someone's head somehow different?
> What do you mean?
JOEL: [Krista] I mean... [sloooowly] ...wwwwhhhaatttt
hhhhaaappppppeeeennnneeeddd?
> Zarbon had meant to keep his anger out of his thoughts but he
> found there was no way.
>
> It’s showing up all over your face.
CROW: [Krista] You're out of Clearasil again, aren't you?
> You’re pissed.
TOM: [Zarbon, British, drunk] I bloody well am not! I've only 'ad
two pints, honest...
> So much for calm.
>
> That fucking idiot Ginyu.
>
> Captain Ginyu?
TOM: [Zarbon] No, Leo Ginyu from round the block...of *course*
Captain Ginyu!
> No, Zarbon thought involuntarily. My pet chibling. Yes, Captain!
>
> Krista actually turned and gave him a nasty look.
JOEL: [Krista] Well excuse me for not being able to read your mind!
Oh, wait...
> It’s not my fault if Captain Ginyu shoved a bug up your ass. Just
> don’t take it out on me. I didn’t do anything to you.
CROW: [Krista] Outside of violating your mental privacy at will..
TOM: In Zarbon's defense, that was a pretty dumb question.
> Zarbon knew he should have squashed it, never even dared to think
> it. But he couldn’t help himself.
JOEL: He loved her and nobody else. TOM: Ew, sugarpie, honeybunch!
> No, nothing...unless you count my humiliation at nearly being

> I'd rather fuc-
ALL: HEY HEY HEY!
CROW: Watch your mouth, young man!
JOEL: Didn't I see a commercial for "Mary Sue's I'd Rather Fuc-" on
Comedy Central, late night?
TOM: No no - you're thinking "Avatars Gone Wild."
JOEL: Riiight!
> Krista’s eyes flashed. It was as if she’d actually slapped him
> across the face-his head turned with the force. He could feel her
> indignant eyes on him as he turned his back to her and began to do
> some busywork.
TOM: And Frieza's not noticing all the daggers-staring and Zarbon
getting the psychic pimp hand?
JOEL: Obviously, his lithium's kicked in.
> Fuck you, She thought at him venomously. Zarbon couldn’t stop
> himself. Nor did he try.
CROW: Um, are we supposed to *like* this character?
JOEL: I don't think she cares, Crow.
TOM: o/~ Oh oh, here she comes! She's a Man-Hater! o/~
> You first.
CROW: Er... "Duck Season?"
> He felt the connection sever abruptly. He shook his head and
> sighed.
JOEL: Maybe that will teach her not to tag along in people's skulls
like that.
> He shouldn’t have lost his cool, not like that. But then again,
> what did she expect? Smart ass human. He shrugged. He was better

TOM: Just accept your fate as Krista's boy toy, Zarbon. It'll hurt
less in the long run.
> Burter grinned as he entered the arena.
[All start singing the opening to "C.C. Rider"]
> Krista was already standing there, waiting. And she looked mad.
> Good, he thought to himself. She’ll be careless and make mistakes.
CROW: Or she could ride that anger and roll right through you...
> Zarbon was the ref.
TOM: [Zarbon] From now on, the only who yells is me. Why? Because I
have a *gun*! People with guns can do whatever they want.
> He looked disdainfully at Burter, and very quickly at Krista, as
> if he were truly trying to avoid looking at her.
CROW: So he looks at her in an attempt to make her think he's trying
to avoid looking at her.
TOM: [Glinn Gusat] Makes sense.
> "Fighters," he said. "Begin!"
JOEL: [Mortal Kombat Announcer] FIGHT!
> Burter launched himself into the air, Krista following. He flew
> straight at her, making her gasp
ALL: GASP!!!
> and veer off.
JOEL: [Krista] Ew! A boy, icky!
TOM: Moving towards your opponent? Well that's totally outta left
field.
> He grinned. Perfect. He teleported behind her
CROW: That wacky DBZ gang! Is there anything they *can't* do?
JOEL: No. No, there isn't.
> and hit her hard between the shoulder blades, sending her smashing

> "I expected better."
CROW: So do we. Haven't gotten it yet.
> "Well, I hate to disappoint."

> Burter never quite knew what hit him as he went barrelling into

> teleported out of the way just as she landed her punch.
CROW: She seethed as Burter invoked the "Missed me, missed me, now
you gotta kiss me" rule.
JOEL: Should we tell her that they don't really teleport, they just
move really really fast?
TOM: That would require giving a crap.
CROW: You do it. I'm bitter.
> He appeared twenty feet above her and she went after him. The two
> began to battle, each blocking the other’s attacks for about half

CROW: Since actually describing what they're doing would take too
much effort...
JOEL: Well, in that respect, it's loyal to the source material.
> until Burter kicked her in the head.
[All cheer]
> She went spiralling sideways but recovered quickly and smirked.
TOM: Can these people make *any* other facial expression?!?
CROW: I think it's their default setting.
> Burter found himself unable to move a limb
JOEL: ...Frozen in shock at her planet-engulfing ego...
> as Krista flew up to him and, bringing her fists together, hit him

CROW: [Burter] Gee, I wonder if I should move out of the--OOF!
> As Burter began to fall, she kneed him in what may or may not have

TOM: Or in rasslespeak, "the lower abdominal region."
> Burter fell, fetal position and all, to the ground.
JOEL: Sucks to be him.
CROW: In more ways than one...
> After a few seconds, he got to his feet and looked up to see
> Krista had landed and sat down on the ground. She smiled at him in

TOM: The Psycho Smile of Doom!
> Burter snarled and aimed his largest blast at her. As the dust
> cleared, and he saw the trench he had made, he began to laugh

>
> "Having fun?"
JOEL: [Krista] Writing you into the story just so I could beat the
stuffing outta ya? Yeah!
CROW: Joel, I think she meant that she was asking him.
JOEL: <shrugs> Still works.
> He started and turned. Krista was floating right behind him upside
> down. She grinned and backhanded him across the face.
CROW: Oh, bitch-slapped!
TOM: The Pimp Hand is strong in this one!
> Burter grabbed for her
JOEL: [Burter] Can't ya see I'm just tryin' to say I love ya?
> but she had already removed herself from his reach and was now on

TOM: Is this a fight scene or a Monty Python sketch? JOEL: Yes.
> Burter rounded on her and looked about ready to throttle her when
> she kicked him in what definitely was not the gut.
CROW: Oooh! Right in the Lil' Ginyus!
> Burter doubled over again and fell. This time, he did not stir

TOM: [Zarbon] Yup, I'm next.
> "Krista wins."
CROW: [Zarbon] Again... Honestly, why do we even bother with the
fight?
> The area around her burst into cheers
JOEL: [narrator] No no, I'm sorry, that's "tears".

CROW: [Krista] My quarters in half an hour. Wear something *sexy*.
> "That rough enough for you?"
TOM: [Burter, falsetto] When I can see straight again, you're DEAD!
> She smirked again and walked away, swaying her hips in a very

TOM: [Muted trumpet riff]
> As she began to receive congratulations all around, she looked at

>
> You owe me, Zarbon.
CROW: [Krista] Remember that last hand of strip-poker?
> She could feel Zarbon’s amusement.
JOEL: [Zarbon] Yeah, I've wanted to kick him in the fusebox too.
> Is it an apology you want?
>
> Krista didn’t answer. Zarbon let a grin filter across his face.
>
> All right. I’m sorry you didn’t kill the bastard. That good

TOM: [Zarbon] I can easily have you thrown in the brig for
threatening a superior officer
CROW: [Krista] I can write you into a painful, humiliating death for
talking back to me.

JOEL: [Tournament Organizer] Let someone *else* have a turn, please.

TOM: He's a *supervillain*, fanfic! What sort of supervillain would

JOEL: The kind of supervillian that gets pounded by sixteen-year old
girls.
> And two, he happened to be quite fond of that part of his anatomy.

CROW: [Zarbon] Oh, sweet make-up sex, here I come!
> The door opened and Zarbon’s features didn’t fall, but they

JOEL: [Captain Ginyu] Avon calling!
> "What?" Zarbon asked curtly. Ginyu grinned.
>
> "Got your pants in a twist, Zarbon?"
TOM: [Zarbon] Yes, but not for the reasons you think. CROW: Ew...
> "What the hell do you mean, Ginyu?" Zarbon asked. Ginyu shrugged.
TOM: [Captain Ginyu] I mean, are your undergarments properly
fitted?
> "Nothing. Only you haven’t been hanging around the human as much.
> We figured either you’ve had her and you’re done with it or you’re

CROW: Ouch!
JOEL: [Zarbon] Yeah, I had my thirty seconds. I think Mere's next on
her Rolodex.
> Zarbon rolled his eyes and, tapping the pad next to the door, shut
> it in Ginyu’s face.
TOM: [Zarbon] Thank you, I don't *need* a new set of encyclopedias!
> Zarbon could hear Ginyu’s muffled chuckling through the door.
JOEL: [Ginyu, stoner voiced] Huh huh! Totally faced him!

CROW: That, and an intense desire not to get beaten to death.
> He instead turned back to the report.
CROW: Well *that* was a useless scene!
TOM: Now, now! It was vital in establishing that Ginyu is, in fact,
a big, fat jerk.
> "So when’s the next one?"
JOEL: [Zarbon] Jeez, you think I'm some kinda machine?!
> "Not for a few days," Krista murmured, shading in a picture of one

TOM: She's really taking a battering ram to the fourth wall, isn't
she?
> Musquo peered at the picture critically.
CROW: [Krista] Now, tell me the first shape that pops into your
mind. JOEL: [Musquo] This isn't how you draw Timmy The Turtle, you
know.
> "Is that human supposed to have a tail?"
JOEL: [Musquo] And balloons on its chest?
> "Yes, she’s not human."
>
> Musquo frowned. "Then what is she?"
TOM: [Krista] A fangrrl.
> "I don’t know!" Krista said, exasperated. Musquo wrinkled his

CROW: [Musquo] Look, I just thought she was hot, okay?!?
> "Touchy, aren’t we? That’s the third time today.
JOEL: [Krista] So quit *askin'* me!
> "What’s eating you?"
CROW: [Krista] Zarbon. I thought everybody knew. TOM: D'oh!
> "Nothing," Krista fairly spat. Musquo shrugged.
>
> "Suit yourself," He said, turning towards the door. "Though if you
> ask me and the others, you should probably make up with Zarbon
> already. You’re getting downright irritable."
JOEL: [Musquo] We all want you back to mildly annoyed, like normal.
TOM: [Musquo] And when I say "make up with", I mean "have hot
animal
sex with."
> Krista grew hot in the face. She turned hotly to the door. "What
> in the world makes you think-" She cut herself off as she realised
> that Musquo had left already. She sighed.
JOEL: [Krista] Well, launch tubes ain't gonna swab themselves....
CROW: [Krista] Damn... Time to go break another "Steely Dan"...
> Why had that last statement irritated her so?
TOM: I'd bet Freud would have a lot to say about that one!
> Zarbon had nothing to do with anything-it was simply the pressure
> she was feeling that was making her irritable.
JOEL: That, and Frieza had taking to pointing at random subordinates
and making "P-CHEW! P-CHEW!" noises.
TOM: I mean, she might break a nail kicking the tar out of the next
well-trained, experienced warrior she battled.
> Hell, she’d gone through the same thing when studying for her High
> School Entrance Exams...
JOEL: Oh yeah, that really compares to risking serious injury
shooting atomic blasts at each other--
TOM: Uh, Joel, she's *Japanese*.
JOEL: Oh, right... Point retracted.
> But didn’t you have that crush on Seiji then? A voice in her mind
> reminded her. You were upset because he’d just started going out
> with Minako and-
CROW: ...Every chance they she got, he would regale you with tales
of
their heathen carnal exploits.
> "Shut up!" she said aloud, startled at the anger in her own voice.
TOM: Yep - She's a-crackin'!
JOEL: Time to break out the strait jacket!
> Why did she get so upset like that? It wasn’t like Seiji had had
> anything to do with anything before....had he?
CROW: Thanks to the magic of Rohypnol, she'd never know!
> Getting back to the problem at hand, did she have feelings for
> Zarbon?
JOEL: [Krista] Let's see... Loathing, disgust, hatred... Yep, guess
I
do!
> How could she possibly, it wasn’t even like he was all that
> attractive, if you didn’t count the great body, the long hair,
> looks even Gackt would kill for-
TOM: [Krista] Yeah, once you get past the fact that he's a bishy
god, he's really not all that!
> Stop it! She told herself angrily. He’s an alien!
CROW: So are Goku and Superman.
> But.....Goku’s an alien...
CROW: Stay out of my head, woman!
> No! He came to destroy your planet!! Well, technically, so did
> Vegeta... He hates you!.........
TOM: Like Dave hates Maddie.
JOEL: Like Sam hates Diane.
CROW: Like Draco hates Harry.
OTHERS: WHAT?!?
CROW: Oh, read between the lines, people!
> No he doesn’t......he made me a promise. And you presume to trust
> him to honour his promises? Who says honour is anything to these
> people?
JOEL: I tell ya, there's no honour in destroying the universe
anymore.
> So the debate in her mind went, back and forth until she had
> exhausted herself, and fell asleep, slumped across the bed.
TOM: Krista, honey? Talking to yourself is fine and dandy. Arguing
yourself unconscious is Happy Pill Time!
> So much for that...."
>
> Burter sneered at the smirking Jeice. "You’re up next, you know,"
> he said. "Do you think you can do any better?"
JOEL: [Jeice] I'm not the one with the pre-match sexual harassment.
> Jeice grinned. "I know enough to wear protection now."
CROW: Unless they make adamantium jock straps, I don't see how that
would help.
> Burter started at Jeice at this, but Ginyu held him back. "Easy,"
> he said. "No use in your fighting against each other. Too many
> other weaklings around for us to beat."
>
> Burter allowed himself to be pulled away from Jeice, though anger
> still glowed in his eyes.
TOM: [Burter] GRRR! Burter smash later!
> Guido looked at Jeice. "So what are you planning, then?"
>
> "The girl’s sensitive to thoughts," he said slowly, as if thinking
> aloud. "It’s in her record. So perhaps we should make sure she
> can't concentrate long enough to get any attacks off."
CROW: [Jeice] So all we have to do is make a lewd comment about her
butt.
> "That would be cheating," Ginyu said simply. Jeice grinned.
TOM: Err...it would? JOEL: Let's assume so, yes.
> "You act as if there’s some problem with that."
>
> Ginyu grinned. "Never said that....."
TOM: And the idea that Frieza's elite hit squad has to resort to
cheating to beat a sixteen year-old girl doesn't faze them
at all?
CROW: Why should it? Good heels don't cheat because they need to.
They cheat because they can!
> Krista glared at Jeice. After the stunt that his team-mate had
> pulled in the mess, and the prior battle, she didn’t trust any of
> the Ginyu.
JOEL: I'll take "Firm Grasp of The Obvious" for $400, Alex!
> It also disturbed her that the other members had turned out to
> watch this battle, as they hadn’t been at any others. Captain
> Ginyu was leading the bout.
TOM: Suspicious? NAH!
> "Battlers, begin!"
>
> Krista immediately launched herself into the air,
JOEL: The same thing she does to start every battle...
> and begin to concentrate her energy into a Kamehameha attack
TOM: The immense power warping us into the present tense...
> when an image of her giving head to Burter unwillingly entered her
> mind.
CROW: <SPUTTER!> WHOA!
JOEL: So they're going to fire images of porn at her until she
cracks?
TOM: It's the "Joyce Manuver!"
> She gasped slightly and let the energy dissipate. That was all
> Jeice needed. Within seconds he had her on the ground, pummelling
> away at her. She wedged her legs up between her body and his and
> forced him off of her. She stood but before she could even take a
> step, another image, one of her being taken by no less than three
> of the Ginyu at the same time forced its way into her
> consciousness.
JOEL: [Krista] Ew, sex with Guido!
TOM: Will someone PLEASE explain why she's picking this stuff up in
the middle of a fight? Did one of the Ginyu suddenly sprout
telepathic powers?
> Jeice grinned widely and nodded just slightly to his team-mates
> before forming a massive energy blast in his hand and aiming it at
> Krista.
>
> The last thing she saw before the blast hit was her crying out in
> pleasure as she came.....
CROW: I should feel happy that the über gurl got taken down, but I
feel too dirty for that...
JOEL: I know. I feel the need for a brain scrubbing.
> She opened her eyes groggily and peered through a strange bluish
> haze onto the scene before her. Zarbon’s voice came to her as
> though from a great distance.
TOM: [Krista] So I'm in Hell. Peachy...
CROW: You mean "HFIL", don't you?
TOM: Right, right!
> "...and she was unconscious before I even made it halfway to the
> ring. I think Jeice might have killed her if I hadn’t stopped
> him."
[All boo.]
TOM: Zarbie, what'd ya haveta go and do a thing like that for?
> She could just barely discern Frieza’s face. It was wavering as if
> she were looking at it through a heat wave. Or not so much like a
> heat wave, but water...
>
> "I suppose it couldn’t be helped.
CROW: [Frieza] You're trying to get into her pants, after all.
> The Ginyu are a handful."
JOEL: Some all powerful überlord you are!
> "They will be punished, then?"
TOM: [Frieza] Try 'rewarded', smart guy.
> Zarbon’s voice only had the slightest edge on it to indicate it
> was a question.
CROW: [Zarbon] You could use whips and chains and cattle prods and
iron maidens and there'll be screamin! Oh so much screaming
and... Er... Sorry... That was out loud, wasn't it?
> She could see Frieza shake his head.
>
> "No. It’s a part of the tournaments, you know that. She’s no
> different from anyone else on this planet."
JOEL: [Frieza] Well, except she can bend time and space to her will.
TOM: [Frieza] And when I say "no different" I mean "Obviously
perfect and must be protected and coddled."
> Zarbon opened his mouth as if to press the matter
TOM: [Zarbon] B-but she's my *grrlfriend*!
> but a look from Frieza warned him that
CROW: ...One more word and he was a scorch mark.
> the topic was closed. He looked in her direction and smirked.
>
> "So, she’s awake. Feeling any better, Lieutenant?"
>
> It was only then that Krista realized
JOEL: ...Why Zarbon was smirking at her. CROW: [Krista] Ah, hell!
I'm
naked again!
> that she was in a healing tank. She had lost the tournament.
[ALL cheer.]
TOM: Enjoy it whilst it lasts, guys. She can only be setting up the
crisis to make her later triumph all the greater.
> Jeice winced as he was shoved roughly into a bulkhead by Zarbon. A
> couple of well placed punches on Zarbon’s part brought the rest of
> the Ginyu, bristling, around him. Ginyu leered at him.
JOEL: [Captain Ginyu] Say... CROW: [Captain Ginyu] I knew you were
butch, Zarbon, but dial it back a bit!
> "Are you looking for a fight, pansy?"
TOM: [Zarbon] No thanks! I think I found one!
> "You could have killed her," Zarbon growled. Jeice grinned.
JOEL: [Jeice] Your point?
> "Concerned about the human girl, are we? Is she in possession of
> something of yours, perhaps?"
CROW: [Zarbon] My stack of rare Pokemon cards, if you must know!
> Zarbon didn’t even flinch at the remark. "If you kill her then
> Frieza kills me. This is the interest of self-preservation."
ALL: [Singing] LIAR! LIAR!
> Jeice grinned. "You don’t have to worry so much, anyway,’ he said.
> "I wasn’t going to kill her. Not so soon, anyway."
>
> Zarbon’s eyes narrowed and Burter nodded. "Clever predators play
> with their prey before killing it.
TOM: No, you're confusing "clever predators" with "sterotypical
bully-type villains".
> Surely you know that, Zarbon?"
>
> "How could he?" Guido said, grinning. "You said only clever
> predators do that."
JOEL: Oooh! What a burn! CROW: [Zarbon] Shut up, Four Eyes!
> Zarbon snarled and turned on Ginyu. "If I see any of you trying to
> hurt her again, in any way, I’ll send you past the next dimension.
> > Is this in any way unclear?"
TOM: [Captain Ginyu] No? Umm... Yes... Umm... Pass?
> Ginyu smirked and saluted Zarbon mockingly.
JOEL: He learned that salute from Dick Solomon.
> "Yes sir." He turned to him subordinates. "You heard the
> Commander."
CROW: [Captain Ginyu] Drinks are on him.
> The other Ginyu Force snapped to attention and gave the same false
> salute. "Yes sir!"
>
> Their mocking laughter followed Zarbon out into the corridor.
TOM: [Zarbon] Well, that went well!
> He sighed and turned to check on Krista.
JOEL: [Ginyu] Okay, that's enough "Point and Laugh" practice for
today. Let's hit the mess hall and get in some food-fighting
work.
BOTS: [Other Ginyu] ALL RIGHT!
> When he arrived in the infirmary, he saw that Krista was still
> awake, and still in the healing tank.
>
> How are you feeling? He asked her. She glared at him and looked
> away.
TOM: [Zarbon] Remind me why I saved your life, again?
> He stepped around into her line of view and tapped on the glass.
CROW: [Krista] Hey! I'm still naked in here!
JOEL: [Zarbon, salaciously] I *KNOW*!
> Anyone home in there?
>
> Go away, She thought at him firmly.
CROW: [Krista] I'm being un*grateful*!
> He shook his head.
>
> I’m supposed to make sure you’re alright, I’ve got to report to
> Frieza in a few minutes
>
> Okay, you’ve seen me. I’m fine. Go now.
JOEL: [Zarbon] Say, have you always had that mole on your...
TOM: [Krista] LEAVE!!! NOW!!!
> Zarbon frowned. She still wasn’t in the best mood with him. He
> shrugged and turned to leave.
CROW: [Zarbon] So next time, I should just let you die, then?
> Oh, by the way, He thought. I noticed the look on your face when
> you went down. Tell me, has any other man ever seen that look
> while he’s busy pumm-
JOEL: "One Step Past Too Far" for $1000, Alex!
> He found himself forced out of the door very suddenly and his
> connection with her was severed quite abruptly. Obviously she was
> already quite a bit stronger than she’d been before. That wasn’t
> what startled him; it was the look of pure hatred in her eyes as
> she pushed him out.
CROW: Or maybe it was the porno music floating through your head as
you spoke?
> The thought crossed his mind that perhaps he ought to tone it down
> a little.
TOM: Oh come on! It's *Zarbon*! The only thought that would cross
his mind after that would be whether to disintegrate her or
kill her slowly!
CROW: Dude, we crossed that bridge and blew it to atoms LONG ago!
> But he wasn’t quite ready to give up teasing her just yet.
JOEL: He still had two years of grade school left.
TOM: He's working his way up to pulling her hair and leaving worms
on her desk.
> Mere was there to greet her as she exited the infirmary. "How are
> you feeling, Lieutenant?"
CROW: [Krista] Battered, bruised, and violated in almost every way.
TOM: [Mere] Hey, you're finally feeling like one of us!
> Krista glanced up at him. "As well as could be expected after
> being knocked out and in a healing tank for seventy-two hours."
CROW: [Krista] By which I mean FA-BU-LOUSTH!
> Mere nodded. "You’re due in the Command Centre."
>
> Krista raised a brow. "No sick days?"
>
> Mere blinked. "Huh?"
>
> "Nevermind," she sighed.
JOEL: [Krista] God, you're such a doorknob!
> She walked back to the Command Centre and took her place at
> Tactical. She began to run a scan of conquerable planets in a
> sector one hundred and fifteen parsecs away.
TOM: [Krista] Boy, subjugating the weak is fun, once you get into
it!
> She became so involved that she didn’t notice Zarbon enter.
CROW: The fact that he'd switched after shaves from his Old
Spice/Jade East blend helped that.
> He glanced at her, and smiled. She suppressed a sigh as his
> Feeling better? Entered her mind. She didn’t turn to look at him.
>
> Yes, was her curt reply. Why do you care?
TOM: [Zarbon] Look - do I have to spell it out for you? ME WANT IN
PANTS!
> If you get killed, Frieza kills me, he told her. This is
> self-preservation.
>
> Right, she said, even her thoughts holding scepticism.
CROW: [Krista] *COUGH*youwantmebad*COUGH*
> Zarbon raised a brow. You can’t accept the fact that maybe I care
> about you?
JOEL: [Zarbon] Even heartless world-destroyers need a little lovin',
baby!
> Krista actually turned and looked him in the eyes.
TOM: [Krista] Let me think about that NO!
> The only person you care about, Zarbon, she thought firmly. Is the
> person I’m looking at right now.
CROW: [Zarbon] Um, Krista? I'm over here.
> You don’t give a shit about me, Frieza or anyone else on this
> goddamned planet. As far as you’re concerned, if it doesn’t
> involve you, or your pride, or you life, you won’t be bothered.
>
> Zarbon blinked.
TOM: [Zarbon] You say that like it's a bad thing.
CROW: [Zarbon] When did we start talking about you?
> He was surprisingly hurt by her thoughts.
JOEL: [Zarbon] I'm a sad panda.
> She seemed to read this and her expression softened a little. He
> tried to form his thoughts into an apology but instead, he
> smirked.
[All sigh.] TOM: Of *course* he did!
> So glad you finally noticed.
JOEL: Would it kill him to not be an ass for five seconds?
CROW: As a matter of fact, yes.
> And the expression on Krista's face was gone, replaced by a look
> of pure disgust. Go fuck yourself, she thought at him, turning
> back around.
TOM: Well who's being vulgar now, Lil' Ms. Uber Gurl?
> If I could, I wouldn’t leave my room, he thought back at her.
JOEL: "TMI" for $1000, Alex!
> He could feel her aggravation and wondered again briefly if he’d
> gone too far, then decided he didn’t care anyway.
>
> It wasn’t like she cared about him, anyway.
CROW: And the Anvil of UST takes its place firmly above our heads.
TOM: That can't be it, can it?
CROW: Dare we have hope, Joel. Dare we hope.
JOEL: Sorry little buddies, but this all reads like a connecting
story to something longer.
CROW: Which means another sequel.
TOM: And since the lemony stuff was only hinted at in this one,
that
means the next one...
[Pause]
BOTS: NOOOOOOOO! JOEL: C'mon, you guys, let's get outta here.
[ 6 ]...[ 5 ]...[ 4 ]...[ 3 ]...[ 2 ]...[ 1 ]...[ * ]
[We come back to the S.O.L's bridge - and the place has been
trashed.
Food, dirty dishes and other assorted debris are scattered all
over. Random grafitti can be seen on the background walls.]
JOEL: [Just entering the room] What in the world..?
TOM: Good grief - did we have Mardi Gras in here, while we gone?
CROW: [Running] Oh,man! It's horrible! Somebody found a crate of
Hamdingers and shoved half of them into the load pan bay!
And trailed the other half through the hallways! It's a
mess, I tell ya!
JOEL: Gee... You'd think the Mads would've noticed this going on...
CROW: Yeah, where are they, anyway?
TOM: Hey, Gypsy? Magic Voice? Where'd Dr. Forrester and Frank get
off to?
MAGIC VOICE: The Mads took off about a half-hour ago. They locked
Gypsy in Storage Bay #2
JOEL: What?!? Why would they...
CROW: Hey, Joel - Call's coming in from Deep 13!
JOEL: What tha... [Hits the button]
[Cut to a shot Dr. Forrester and Frank, wearing party hats. There
appears to be an active party going on behind them.]
DR.F: Hey, guys! 'Bout time you came up for air!
FRANK: WOOO! [Takes a drink from a plastic cup]
[S.O.L.]
TOM: Da' hell?!? Where are you? Why aren't you up here?
JOEL: And what happened before you left?
[D-13]
DR.F: [Talking like a frat boy] Well, we got bored up there with no
mad science equipment. So we called up a bunch of buds and
threw ourselves a little party! WOOOO!
PARTYGOERS: WOOOOO!!!!
FRANK: [Talking like a stoner for some reason] And so there we
were,
just having, like, a major bash... We had to ditch the big
girl bot, cuz she was totally harshing our buzz...
DR.F: [Talking normally] Then we got a call from the exterminators.
Turns out the tribbles got into that poison grain I was
saving for UNICEF. Long story short: Tribbles all dead, no
fumigation.
FRANK: So we packed up the party and headed back home! WOOO!
PARTYGOERS: WOOOOO!!!!
[S.O.L.]
JOEL: Well, that's wonderful for you, sirs. But what about this
mess
up here?
[D-13]
DR.F: Oh, you big baby! If it's that important to you, I'll just
pop
the air locks and suck all the trash out. You might want to
find a safe place for that. But that'll come later! As for
now, PAR-TAAAAY!!!
PARTYGOERS: WOOOOOOO!!!
FRANK: Oh, and you probably won't want to pull that ripcord behind
you
before then! [Dances off]
[S.O.L]
CROW: [Rip cord in hand] What? This one?
TOM: What? Crow, NO!
[A trap door open from the ceiling, and Joel and the bot are
bombarded with falling tribbles.]
TOM: Oh, GOOD ONE, Crow!
JOEL: Well, on the bright side, maybe they'll eat all the garbage.
I
hope. Or something?
[Joel shrugs and hits the button.]
