A/N: This chapter is dedicated to Lady Euphrosyne Pan of the Golden Trees. ;_; I still feel bad for turning her down for a collaboration, but Datura, ArthurEKing, and a few others know why I did that. ;_; I'm just not ready for another co-authoring.

HEY! Guys! Look here, please! Listen to me very carefully. For the past five months (three-four of those I wasn't here at all) I've been working on a Dragonball AU. It's more of an effort to face GT, as I can't stand it. >.< Yet, I do like the SSJ4 forms...what can I say. ::shrugs shoulders:: Not to mention, the AU focuses more on Shin, Goku, Vegeta, Piccolo, Gohan, Kibito, Bulma, and Dabura in an attempt to break down the walls of our first misconceptions of every character to bring to light a new view. I mix in a little mythology views, add in some Digimon elements as well as Slayers, fill in Shin's history, give Goku some secrets, but still keep a sense of humor in it all. There's a lot of angst and a lot of fluff, and my usual humor. ^^; If you guys liked this, Shin Wars, then please, go take a look at my online diary where I have a small piece for you to preview. It's a tad bit of a teaser to my AU, and I need comments, criticism, something from you guys. If you want to see more works by me, this is how to do it. By the end of the Shin Wars I will have made up my mind on rather or not I want to put time and effort into the AU. I don't want to be wasting my time on a piece that flat out sucks! you guys can understand that. Go check it out. If you guys hate it, do not be afraid! Say so! If you think it needs work, please, by all means tell me and show me where. Now, the link is in my bio, so go on! Don't be afraid.
"I may not be strong, but I just can't stand here not doing anything anymore, and I don't want any regrets." - Opening song for Slayers Next
Word to the wise, I wasn't doing to well when I wrote this, so to get me in the mood I listened to a lot of chibi cute hyper J-pop songs, as well as some anime openings. (Lots of Slayers music.) I'm very sorry if this doesn't live up to the expectations you guys have me. This one may not be any laughs at all. I apologize. Neko-sama's sorry! By the way, the title is reminiscent of Slayers first season. Ahh...the good old days.
This is where we bring in Tenshi, the critic, and hopefully anime dude! Come on guys! Come on in, I won't bite! ::grins:: Unless I like you too much. LoL Tenshi, word of warning...you never got back to me, so I'm taking a lot of liberties here. You asked for a Dabura plushie, so I guessed you were female. ^^; I'm terribly sorry if I'm wrong. Further more, by The Critic's sense of humor I guessed they were male. ^.~ Males just have this teasing way about them. Once again, if I'm wrong, I'm sorry. -_-; Forgive Neko-chan, as she tried.
Shin Wars
Chapter #5 Fireball? Datura's bad day at ff.net!
The cloud of raging hormonal fan-girls enveloped around Shin, screaming his name. Everyone else was pushed back out of the mess, or more like Satan grabbed Vampire and then picked up Neko-chan by the scruff of her neck. Lyonette shoved Kibito, thinking she was shoving Shin, and was quite disappointed to find she had rescued the sour faced man instead.
With her feet kicking in the air, Neko-chan started to yell, "Let me go! Those stupid fan-girls are trampling my fish! Put me down!"
Satan and Vampire watched in horror as Shin was almost devoured by the sea of crazed girls, when a blur of green and black shot through the mess.
With a smirk, Gohan powered up in the middle and the fan-girls were soon gone. Shin's large black eyes looked up, relieved. Kibito's eyes narrowed at Gohan. Satan finally let the little cat-girl go and Neko-chan ran to find her fish smashed. Her big eyes welled up dangerously and Shin groaned, "Neko-chan, those were fan-girls?"
"No!" The chibi pouted, "Those were rabid fan-girls!"
"There's a difference?"
Gohan shook his head at Shin and whispered, "No."
"Gohan-san! How did you get here?"
"I don't know. I touched my key board to e-mail my fiancé, and before I know it I'm back here."
Black eyes blinked at him, "Back here? You've been here before?"
"Yeah..."
"GOHAN!" Running up to the group, LadyRivka was holding her dress up to prevent tripping on the hem, "You left me back there!" She stopped for a moment and took in the people around her, shocked yet again.
Abashed, Gohan looked down, "I'm sorry, but when I felt Shin's ki being surrounded by many kis...well...I know what it feels like. I've been here before."
"Kaioshin...Kibito...." LadyRivka stared at the beings, still surprised, trying to piece everything together.
Lyonette pouted at Gohan, "We get Gohan, but no Dende, no Piccolo. What is wrong with this picture?!"
"I really am sorry, LadyRivka," Gohan mumbled again, thinking she was quiet out of anger.
But she was not silent out of anger, she was still in shock. However, that did wear off, and when it did all she could do was push Gohan away from Shin and glare at him, "Just remember, you marry Videl! So let's keep it that way!"
"Huh?" Gohan asked, confused. "Where did that come from?"
Shin looked at them all, confused himself, "That doesn't matter too much at this moment. Do either of you know where the exit is?"
A tinge of anger filled Gohan, "Well...not exactly. Last time I..."
"Last time?" Shin questioned with a raised eye brow.
"Yes, I've been here before. As I was saying, last time I was here I had to," Gohan cringed at the memories resurfacing, "read some of the stories here. And I may be wrong, but I think my guide forced me to read some of the worst or most traumatizing ones. By the way," Gohan whispered to Shin, "don't go near any dots. They're nothing but trouble."
"Well, you obviously got out last time, so how did you?" Kibito quickly asked.
"It was horrible...you don't want to know. Like I said...I was forced to read certain stories here...my guide was Paladone...maybe he can help us..."
"If we can find him," Neko-chan said, unsure. "He hasn't been seen around here for a while...kinda like Linda-san."
Shin muttered, "Great," as he looked ahead. "That leaves us with one option, to keep looking."
"Let's go!" Lyonette shouted and pointed to the Romance section.
Neko-chan pointed with her, "To the sushi bar!"
Vampire groaned and put her plot bunny in front of her face to fend off the stench, though it didn't really help much.
They eventually started to travel again, Gohan joining to find the exit, and LadyRivka joining to follow Kibito and Shin. What were the chances of them being at ff.net, unfused at that. And since they were no longer fused together....
***************
Back in Dabura's group, somewhere at the beginning of the humor section, the mob of angry flamers was headed towards them, but the most they could see was a fire.
Kioku frowned, "How odd. I wonder what has them fired up...."
"You didn't hear?" Kym questioned. "There's some rumor going around about the flamer named Vampire being Datura...odd thing was, I could've sworn her name was supposed to be Vampire...but in one of the flames it was, 'Vampier.' Weird, huh?"
Brown eyes narrowed at this revelation, "Where did they hear something like that?" Datura mumbled.
Kym shrugged her shoulders, unsure of how the rumor was started. "This is why I was a little edgy to go to the Romance section. Everyone is in an uproar over there. It seems there's a few other flamers going around claiming Shin as their own...and a few other odd things."
The mob with torches surrounded the group, and the leader stepped forward, her face masked with an odd face. The cheeks were scrunched, giving her a closed eye look. Datura sighed, more annoyed then intimidated.
"Datura! You witch! You have been found to be Vampire! And for your crimes against us, and your stupid stories, we will take you down and reign supreme over ff.net! Bow now before my greatness as I take you down with one blow!" The leader pulled out a short sword and leaped towards Datura, who merely side-stepped the attempt.
Dabura spat at a few of the close mobsters, while Kioku pulled out her Chinese flute, "I have a better idea!" She brought forth a piercing note, causing everyone, including her team, to hold their ears in pain. "Oops, sorry."
Poetic Dark Jigglypuff shook her head, "We need to work on that. Or get our team mates used to that sort of stuff. Since when were we a team?" (Neko-chan: Since I typed the story out this way!)
The puff ball was content to watch as a few punches were thrown, and then calmly Datura flipped her cloak back and grinned, displaying a fang nicely to the group attacking her. At this moment Poetic Dark Jigglypuff noticed the yellow plot bunny was missing. She groaned and looked around for her, being led away from the group.
Datura surprised a small portion of the group by throwing a fireball at the oncoming group of torch holders, but Dabura snorted at her, "Is that the best you can do?"
"What is that supposed to mean?! I fried at least three of those morons! That's more than *one* of your attacks did!"
Rolling his eyes, Dabura gathered a ki blast and then watched it rip through the group, leaving a nice get away sized passage, "That's a blast!"
"I guess. I really don't want to fight. This isn't why I'm here, and I don't appreciate this. Let's just get out of here!"
Datura ran up ahead while Kioku smacked one more person with her shinai and Kym threw a Chinese star to calm her nerves. The group raced away, leaving but a few members behind.
Like robots, the left over members just stood around, not talking or moving, just waiting.
*********
A little ways off, Poetic Dark Jigglypuff found her friend, the yellow plot bunny, and they headed back to the scene of the fight, only to hear whispers coming from behind some boxes. The puffed up cat, hid and listened, curious.
"I don't know. I heard them saying something about the exit," the first voice informed.
"Oh...so Shin's looking for the exit! We can't let that happen!" a second voice screeched, making Jigglypuff wince.
"Well, I think we can pull it off..." the first voice said, with a little doubt.
But the second voice was oozing confidence, "Of course we can! How hard can it be?"
Suddenly it dawned on Jigglypuff, "The exit! They're looking for the exit! Oh, I need to get to them, now!" She turned to take off when a small red and white ball was thrown at her, by none other than Fushigina Joshi. Now, Poetic Dark Jigglypuff, the only one who knows where the exit is, (and might actually tell Shin and Kibito,) is trapped in a pokéball. (Neko-chan:: Just great!)
Fushigina Joshi grinned, holding the red and white ball up high, gloating over her victory, "Now that I've got you I'll chase them down and defeat any of the other writers and I will have Shin all to myself! I will beat them all! Hahahahahaha!!!"
"What was that?" asked an annoyed voice, as Tenshi stepped out of the shadows.
"That," Fushigina Joshi answered with attitude, "was an evil villain laugh."
"That wasn't an evil laugh!" Tenshi exclaimed as she stood beside Fushigina Joshi and smirked, "MWAHAHA!" After letting out a blood curdling laugh, Tenshi flicked a strand of hair back, "That was an evil laugh."
Another voice spoke up, as The Critic entered the scene, "Yeah, and what kind of sentence was that up there? I don't think the Author did that by herself. Can't you at least pretend to know how to use punctuation? You're under arrest!"
"Why?" Fushigina Joshi sneered at The Critic who answered, "'Cause I was hoping to make someone laugh."
"Maybe," Tenshi pondered, "we should play punctuation police here. The sentence was disturbing with it's lack of punctuation."
<begin moment of Random insanity>
(Tenshi:: Hey, Author! Can't you get a Thesaurus or something?! You keep using the same words and phrases over and over, and it's becoming tedious!
Neko-chan:: You must be kidding me! I'm too lazy!
The Critic:: Well, when we're done with Fushigina Joshi, guess who we're going after!
Neko-chan:: ¬.¬ The Original section?!
The Critic and Tenshi:: Huh?! Wait...a minute! That's a good idea!)
</end moment of Random insanity>
"Okay!" The Critic said, pointing a finger at Fushigina Joshi, really getting into the game, "You're under arrest in the name of good grammar everywhere!"
The only response to The Critic's out burst was a bunch of crickets as Fushigina Joshi glared at him, not amused.
Tenshi giggled a little at The Critic's failed attempt while he tried again, "Come on, laugh! It's just a stupid gag! Sheesh!"
"I think she needs a funny bone," Tenshi said, smiling. "Look at her, she's steamed!"
Fushigina Joshi took offense at this little game and started to release steam from her ears.
Making a fist with his hand, The Critic grinned, "I'll give her a funny bone...."
A walkie-talkie at Fushigina Joshi's waist came alive with the voice of The Leader of the Flamers Mob, "Agent Fushigina Joshi, where are the intruders?"
Loathed to answer in front of a couple of critics, Fushigina Joshi had no choice so she said, "Dabura's group is headed for Shin's ma'am," in a quiet voice.
"There's that disturbing lack of punctuation again," The Critic mused as Tenshi stuttered, "D-D-D-D-Dabura!! You mean *the* Dabura from Dragonball Z?! YEA!" and off she ran in the direction of Dabura's group.
Frowning, The Critic gave a mock pout to Fushigina Joshi, "Thanks a lot! Now I need a new partner."
He turned to walk away and Fushigina Joshi breathed a sigh of relief, she was home free to catch up to the group and stop them. But, The Critic turned around, "Oh yeah, this is for being annoying." He cut a rope that was attached to the ceiling.
THWACK!
Fushigina Joshi hit the ground, knocked out by an acme safe. "Don't worry. This is just a fanfiction based off of an anime full of gags. She's alive, just not conscious," The Critic grinned and then took off after Tenshi, "Wait up!"
****************
Deep inside the depths of the crowded Pokéball Jigglypuff looked at the yellow plot bunny she was forced to share such a small place with, "Why me? How did I get stuck in here with you? It's crowded, and now I'm hot!"
The plot bunny did noting but twitch her yellow nose.
"Is that all you can say for yourself?!" Poetic Dark Jigglypuff yelled.
Annoyed herself, the yellow plot bunny started to think, 'Great! I'm scrunched up in here with a pink balloon, and now she thinks I'm talking to her! She's losing it!'
**************
"Okay, let's stop for a while," Shin suggested. "We've been walking for quite a while and we're still not in the Romance section." He turned to Lyonette, "How much longer is it?"
Sitting down beside him, Lyonette answered, "Still a bit of a ways, but I'm not sure on the exact length. After all, the humor section is pretty big."
"Don't see how," Gohan mumbled, "there really isn't much around here that's worth reading in the humor section." (coughShinWarscough)
Vampire shuddered, as did Satan, who was petting one of his purple fluffy plot bunnies as he said, "Tell me about it."
Neko-chan sat down, holding her blue plot bunny and pouting, still upset over the loss of her fish. "Stupid rabid fan-girls!"
************
And that's all we have time for today....^.~ Just joking!
Since I didn't give LadyRivka much screen time last chapter, here we go! A scene I had played around with a bit until I decided I should do it.
************
Seeing Kibito off to the side at one of the computers, looking through stories, LadyRivka decided to join him, and see what the "guardian" was up to.
She peered at the screen, while Kibito muttered under his breathe, "Stupid thing...where are those stories...?"
"What are you looking for?"
Kibito jumped when LadyRivka spoke up, as he had been unaware there was anyone looking around him. "I..."
"Well?" She grinned at him, "Don't be shy. You're looking for something, and I can help you find it, *if* you tell me what it is."
Kibito blushed slightly, not wanting to tell anyone anything, but knowing he wouldn't get anywhere without some help, "Well, I-I...was looking for KaioShin-sama's Romance stories written by those fan-girls. I saw a few when we first got here, but I don't know how..."
"Okay let's see," LadyRivka said, pushing Kibito over a little and taking over the computer.
Shocked, Kibito was relieved she didn't laugh at him, but surprised she was helping him.
"Here we go. Romance section...."
Kibito stared at the files in front of him, "Well, there aren't that many, fortunately."
"I guess." LadyRivka blanched, "But have you read some of those?"
"A couple," Kibito admitted, quietly.
"So, you've read some..." LadyRivka picked two of the more recent ones and went searching through the reviews. "Hmm," she bit back a giggle, "Shins lover, huh?" She looked at Kibito, "That wouldn't happen to be Kibito, now would it?"
Her tone sounded close to teasing, but it was friendly, so with a flushed face Kibito just nodded his head, hoping the rest of the group couldn't hear them.
"Not bad. Well, you want to try a couple of others. We can't have this sort of thing running out of control. I'll tell you what to type and you sign it with Shins lover, okay?" LadyRivka winked at him, happy to oblige.
So they conspired against a few of the Shin authors, eager to set a few things straight. And when they were done, Kibito took note of the state of LadyRivka's clothes. "Your garments are soaking wet."
"Yeah," she said, looking down, "Gohan splashed me a bit when he fell."
"'Splashed?' It looks more like drenched." Kibito took a bit of time to change her attire, using his technique, quickly. "We'll fix that up."
But LadyRivka was now let with a Chinese mandarin collar, with a blue trim on white fabric. Her dress style had changed as well, cut with a slit on both sides, and under she was wearing pants to match her trim. She smiled gratefully at Kibito, "Thanks. I was getting cold."
She only got a nod, and they headed back towards the group.
"All right, we can continue now," KaioShin said as he gestured for the group to follow, and they headed for the Romance section once more.
*************
"I can't get a hold of Agent Fushigina Joshi," came the first voice Poetic Dark Jigglypuff had heard before. It belonged to....
"Agent 001, neither can I!" said the second voice Jigglypuff had heard. This voice being the voice of....
"Agent 002, we don't have a choice! We need to ambush them with flames, now! Datura and this little group can not meet up with the first. And we mustn't let Datura get away with her crimes!"
"Of course, Agent 001!"
Both Agents leaped in front of the oncoming running group, and eagerly pointed water guns at Datura.
The group came to a halt, as Datura frowned, and then formed another fireball. But, unlike the last fireball, this one engulfed the two girls and caused a large explosion somewhere in the depths of the Harry Potter section. "I've had enough of these guys!"
Dabura slightly grinned, "That was a decent blast."
"Grrrr," Datura turned to Dabura, "Would you just shut up! I'm doing the best I can!"
"Actually," Kioku said in her defense, "she just took out a few sections of the site...I think that was *very* good."
Kym frowned at Dabura, "Men, they can't admit when a woman is good at something! Isn't the right, Poetic Dark Jigglypuff?"
No answer came. Kioku looked back, "Jigglypuff?"
Datura and Dabura looked as well, only to find she was gone.
"Great," Kym muttered, "we lost her."
"Well, we should keep going. She's knows where we're going, and she might catch up with us," Datura said, unhappy to leave without the puffball, but seeing no other choice. "We have to catch up with the others and make sure these flamers don't attack anyone else."
"All right," Kioku said, sad to leave without the singing blown up cat. "I hope she finds us."
Then they took off, still running.
***********
Now Lyonette could see it; the Romance section was right up ahead. She started to run, happy to be back with her sushi bar, Neko-chan not far behind her.
Relief filled the others, for soon their plight would end.
Dabura's group stopped running, just before the entrance. Everyone turned to Shin's group, and Shin's group stared back. They finally made it.
*********
End thoughts....
<Random insanity>
Neko-chan:: And now we can see that Dabura's team runs faster than Shin's team. That's all...
KaioShin:: Wait a minute! What do you mean by that?! My team wasn't even running. Let's redo the chapter and my team will run this time.
Neko-chan:: There is no way in the depths of Hell I'm rewriting this crap over, and further more, when did you become so competitive? I never thought you to be the type.
Kibito:: Maybe so, but this is dealing with Dabura.
Neko-chan:: ^^; Good point! Oh well. Sorry, 'Shin, but no can do!
KaioShin::....why...
</Random insanity>
KaioShin:: Oh no you don't! You're not getting out of it this....
Neko-chan:: I thought I made myself very clear!
</Random insanity>
And that's all for now. -_-; I hope this didn't stink. (Or scare some of you off.) I really did try. Well, it looks like happy hyper music and some Dr. Pepper helped a bit after all. Maybe not...I guess it depends. Ever so sorry if my humor is getting stale. -_-; By the way, when do *you* guys want me to post the next chapter. No matter how much time you give I get at least three days, but beyond that you get to decide this time. ^.~ Go on, tell me. Just remember, I need three days to write and look over it. Bai-bai.
