A/N Oy! If you didn't read chapter eight, go read it. The real one is posted now! And I'm ever so sorry to Sailor Taichichi Vegeta, but they never got back to me soon enough, so if they want, they get an automatic spot in Shin Wars II, and so does everyone who's already been in. All you have to do is tell me, "Neko-chan, put me in the next one!" And I'll do it. Those of you who are new, tell me stats first. Leave an e-mail where I can reach you, or e-mail me! Okay?!
This one is dedicated to Kioku who was kicked off. Now I need to ask, where in the world did that come from? Seriously? She never cussed at anyone like a certain author did. This author went on rampages sometimes, and said something rather offensive. I'm not repeating it here, but it was upsetting for me because of my racial background, and had it been about African Americans, she would have been booted off so fast she wouldn't have had time to blink. But no, since it was about Mexicans it was ignored, and yes, that does anger me, especially when there are people who are spiteful, rude, inconsiderate, and constantly causing trouble for others but nothing ever happens to them. No! Of course not! All Kioku ever did for us was make us laugh with her threats to sing while she was defending *OTHER PEOPLE* When did she even do anything for her self?! This sort of thing makes me sick, it's hardly fair! Why should someone so giving and selfless be punished because some little tattle-tell can't handle their own battles and learn the difference between dire situation and banter?! So, this one is for Kioku, and anyone who has something to say but finds themselves afraid of speaking their mind thanks to the mentality around here!
I'm also dedicating this one to all of you. Every one of my reviews and reviewers! I've never had this many before, and I'm quite surprised. You all gave me a warm welcome and have been nice ever since then. You put up with my crappy characterizations, my attitude, my boldness, and have yet to complain about how embarrassing I can be from time to time. I know I have a loud voice, but I warned everyone I would not be quiet about my beliefs! Maybe I won't shout accusations on a mountain top, but I'm not gonna let anyone think I condone the stuff I've seen happen, because I don't. I'm against watching people suffer, and I believe laughter is a great medicine, not only for the mind, but for the soul.
Since this is the last chapter, I decided to just go on song lyric/quotes frenzy!
"All fired up! Now I believe there comes a time when everything just falls in line. We live and learn from our mistakes. The deepest cuts are healed by faith!" - Pat Benatar, "All Fired Up!"
"When you are with me, I'm free! I'm careless! I believe, above all the others we'll fly." Creed, "My Sacrifice"
"Everything will be all right.... Don't cha worry about what the bitter hearts are gonna say." - Jimmy Eat World, "In the Middle"
"I'll never fall in line, become another victim of your conformity." - Sum 41 (forgot the song. ^^;)
"I guess we can't complain, God made life a gamble and we're still in the game." (Not sure, it's a country song.)
(action/reaction law) "For every force (action,) there is an equal and opposite force (reaction.)" - Isaac Newton, Newton's Law of Motion. (Oh so true, as the flamers and true trouble makers will learn.)
"I didn't get into singing because I had a nice voice, I wanted to sing because I had something to say!" - Madonna (Yeah. I'm not here writing to be better than any of you, I'm not writing to show off, I'm not writing just for the heck of it, or because I'm good; I have something to say!)
"It's better to burn out then to fade away!" - heard that in Highlander, and a Def Leopard song.
Datura:: Today's weather in Hell: Falling safes!
Shin Wars
Chapter #9 All's Well That Ends Well
(But what if it ends bad? O.o)
Everyone stared at Poetic Dark Jigglypuff and Alanis as they popped out of the Pokéball, and Satan held his arms out for the lost bunny, but she didn't budge. She just turned her head away, and Satan pouted, "What's wrong with her?"
"She belongs to me now." Jigglypuff huffed at Satan, feeling quite proud of her self. "We bonded inside of the Pokéball and now she is my pet plot bunny."
"Alanis, how could you do this to me," Satan whined with eyes big and teary.
Everyone else was trying not to laugh.
"Well, fine then! Puffball, you will pay greatly for this misdeed!" Satan said, punctuating his threat with a toss of his cape.
Kioku and Datura were about to ask if Jigglypuff was okay when Jigglypuff looked at Shin and smiled, "You're looking for the exit, are you not?"
"Actually, we are," Shin politely replied. "Do you know where it is?"
"Yes, in fact I do," Poetic Dark Jigglypuff said, still not really telling him.
"Where is it then?"
She scowled at him, annoyed, but he didn't understand why until she yelled, "Maybe I'll tell you if you actually ask me nicely!"
KaioShin flushed at her words, and meekly looked down, ashamed of himself, while Kibito stood out in front of him and glared down at the puffball, "This is KaioShin-sama, and you have no right to speak to him in that manner!"
Jigglypuff looked at him and stuck her tongue out, and said, "Ooo! So he's a god!" with sarcasm. Everyone stared at her as though she had gone mad, so she then said, "What do you expect me to bow down to him? What if, in some way or another, we are all gods?"
Things became rather quiet after that and Jigglypuff sighed, "I guess you guys aren't going to buy that one. Forget I said it."
Quietly, and this time with underhanded, fake timidity, Shin asked, "Please, little puffball, where is the exit?"
Poetic Dark Jigglypuff smiled up at Shin, almost beaming, "That's better. It's back at Ash's mansion. That's why I was trying to get to you sooner...."
Gohan paled, sweat beading on his face, "You've got to be kidding me! I was stuck in here for months, I was forced to read the crummiest fanfiction in the universe, I was traumatized for life, and all KaioShin and Kibito had to go through was two people trying to set them up, some bizarre flamers, and a couple of easy fights?! I hardly think that's fair."
KaioShin smiled almost smugly at Gohan, "Ever so sorry Gohan-san."
"Yeah," Datura grinned, "maybe the author of this story is just too lazy to come up with a better plot."
KaioShin, Kibito and Dabura all looked at Datura and said, "WHAT?!"
"Huh? Did you guys hear a buzzing just now?" Datura said, looking around while the others did as well, Gohan frowning at everyone.
Then something dawned on Muzura, and she frantically looked at Gohan, "No! You might not be right on this, at least not completely.... See, Ash's house is all of the way back in the Horror section!"
"Right." Anime Dude confirmed, "And we would have to go through those Flamers, and anyone else like the girl that had the safe dropped on her. And can I ask, was it nice to drop a safe on her? I mean, couldn't we have done something else?"
The Critic huffed at Anime Dude while Tenshi said, "Anime Dude, you're nice and all, but we got Jigglypuff back in one piece. Besides, we'll protect everyone from the Flamers, and Anime Dude, we might need you around to be our conscience. After all, no one wants to do nothing but fight."
Everyone agreed quickly with Tenshi and then groaned at the thought of having to walk all of the way back to Ash's house, while KaioShin and Kibito were grinning.
Neko-chan scoffed at the deity, "What are you so happy about?"
"Well, it is not necessary for us to walk all of the way back. All we have to do is...." Shin smiled at her, "Here, take my hand."
She eyed him cautiously, and he tried to assure her it was fine, "Go ahead. I will not bite you."
Finally she took it, and Kibito took his other hand, grabbing LadyRivka's before she could argue. Soon everyone was forming a link and KaioShin said two words, "Kai-kai," and they were all standing outside of Ash's house.
"Wow!" Lyonette grinned exclaiming, "That was easy!"
"Hold it right there! You're not going a step further!" The Leader of the Flamer's Mob announced as she jumped out of the bushes near the house.
Everyone sweat dropped, just a little annoyed.
"I'm turning you all into the admin for being trouble makers, and for not worshipping me!" She batted her eye lids. "All should bow before my great power, and appreciate me for my great beauty and wonderful stories! No one else can write like me! You hear me!"
Neko-chan, being the egotistical little thing she was, dared to clear her throat and say, "I must be no one then."
"Why YOU! STUPID LITTLE CAT-THING!"
"Is that supposed to be insulting. Oh the horror!" Neko-chan rolled her eyes while the Leader of the Flamer's Mob ran for her.
Being little, Neko-chan merely let her trip and soar above her, while the little cat-girl ran for the house.
Slighted, the Leader of Flamer's Mob pretended as though the event never happened and went right back into her rant, "As I was saying, I will be the greatest, and you all will lose your accounts; however, if you hand KaioShin over to me, and you all bow before me, I may change my mind! And you had better! Because I will rule ff.net in the near future!"
"Yeah, I can see your future," Tenshi said as she put an arm around The Leader of Flamer's Mob's shoulders.
"Really?" she asked Tenshi.
"Yes, I can see it now! You rule over everyone and we'll all bow to your work and chant your name. You'll write the best stories ever," Tenshi continued on, waving her hand in the air to paint the picture for the Leader of Flamer's Mob, and she ate it up, until Tenshi said, "and a huge safe will fall on you."
"Huh?" The Leader of the Flamer's Mob asked, bewildered, just as one of The Critic's safes landed on her.
Kioku nodded her head, her cards out in front of her, "Yep, see. Tenshi was right."
Tenshi grinned, said, "What did I tell you?" and gave The Critic a grin.
Meanwhile Muzura was cheering on Gohan as he tried not to exert too much force in taking down the members of the Flamer's Mob.
Soon the members stopped moving and Shin gestured for Gohan to quit. "They have halted."
"How odd," Gohan said looking them over.
"Hmm," Satan mused, looking at the members, "they might just be ghost accounts."
"What are those?" asked Gohan.
"They're accounts set up by a person who already has an account, but they want to pretend to be different people, so they set up a few more accounts, raise up their own reviews, and attack people, not caring if those accounts get erased or not."
"And Satan, how would you know such about this?" Shin questioned.
"Eh? Now, that is a secret!"
Shin face faulted, the glare of death setting into his features; a look Kibito had not thought possible on the youthful deity.
"Well, now we have nothing to worry about!" Anime Dude exclaimed, turning to the enter the house.
Kioku shook her head, saying, "Famous last words," just as Fushigina Joshi leaped out in front of the group.
"Now, how did you get here that fast?" KaioShin asked her, irritated.
"Trap door in the system! No time for talk!" Quickly she put an arm around the deity and grinned at the others, while LadyRivka muttered, "Fushigina Joshi has Kaiooshin! Just great."
"Actually, I'm not Fushigina Joshi!" the girl said as she tore of her mask to reveal fake fangs and a normal face.
"So...you're the fake Vampire, Vampier, then?" Vampire asked, her fangs showing with a growl.
"Actually, I'm not that either! Well, sort of! I'm really..." Fushigina Joshi removed her fangs, and just smiled, "Luz DeJoya!"
"What?" KaioShin asked, looking at her with confusion.
LadyRivka rolled her eyes and quickly translated it, "Light of jewel."
"Oh!" a response came loud from Datura. "She's a Mary Sue!"
Luz's eyes flared red, "I AM NOT! Where did you get a notion like that!"
"Only a Mary Sue would run around with a name like that!"
"Well, I'm no Mary Sue! But, you will all bow before me, and Shin will be mine! ALL MINE!"
Satan quietly walked to Shin's side and handed him a plot bunny while Luz ranted on. The purple god took it and handed it to Luz who yelped, "A present! For me! Oh, how sweet!! We'll be perfect together Shin! I..." she took the bunny and her eyes went blank. "I just had the most wonderful idea for a story! Where's a computer!"
Vampire blinked at the odd reaction, "Why is she so over zealous about it?"
"Because she had an empty mind. You put something in, and it overloads the brain," Satan supplied quickly and then started to push Vampire into the house, Poetic Dark Jigglypuff and the plot bunnies behind them.
"I NEED A COMPUTER!"
Tenshi nodded at The Critic and they approached her with caution. Quickly they pulled out laser guns and shouted, "Freeze!"
Luz stopped and stared at them as though they had gone mad, "Excuse me, I need to get this plot written down! It's the best story ever! And everyone will love it and review me! I will monopolize the site!"
Tenshi gestured for The Critic to cuff her while she kept her laser pointed, "You're under arrest for being a Mary Sue and not having an author!"
"She must be an escape from a story, or something...." The Critic muttered while placing cuffs on Luz.
They started dragging her away when The Critic said, "You know, we should get a car, or something like that. it would make this sort of thing easier."
"Oh shut up! We have a long way to go, and I don't need to hear your whining all of the way over there!"
"I want to write my story and get my claim to fame!" Luz continued to shout.
Both of them looked at her and shouted, "Shut up!"
Meanwhile, everyone else was running into the house before anything else could happen.
***************
KaioShin and Kibito looked at the millions of doors and their eyes began to swirl, so Datura shouted, "Everyone, split up! It'll be easier that way."
Lyonette looked in one room and found a kitchen filled with teas and interesting pots and pans. "Hmm." She looked around for more stuff, found some ingredients, some food in the fridge, still fresh and found a pond outside, and she grinned.
Anime Dude opened a door and ended up in the longest closet he had ever seen. He walked in and found party favors, hats, ribbons, and balloons, and started blowing some up for fun.
Poetic Dark Jigglypuff was trying to remember where it was, and while she tried to recall it's hiding place, she made some coffee, and some cappuccinos in the kitchen area, Alanis hopping beside her.
Datura went to down one hall way opening doors as she went, looking for anything that looked unusual, until she found a stereo system in a room full of poetry books and CD's.
Kibito and KaioShin went down the hall way opposite of Datura opening up doors left and right, praying there were no more Fushigina Joshis, Flamers, or Leaders to deal with.
LadyRivka and Kym were looking for the exit, half-heartedly as they had been hoping to accomplish something that had yet to happen, and now it looked as though they would never get the chance.
Neko-chan, who had finished the down stairs before, was now getting ready to run upstairs as Muzura and Gohan ran up the stairs and opened one of the doors to find a man sleeping in a bed.
"This isn't the exit," Gohan muttered and was about to turn away when the man woke up, looked at Gohan and Muzura and said, "Gohan! What are you doing here, again?"
That voice! That face! It couldn't be! Gohan turned back, growling, "Paladone! I've been waiting for a long time for this! This time...."
Before Gohan could finish his rant Paladone snapped his fingers and Gohan was flying back out of his computer at home. Gohan looked back at his computer and scowled, "Why does he always do that?"
Back at the mansion, Muzura was close to tears. "No! You weren't supposed to do that!"
Paladone snapped his fingers once again and the door closed, and Muzura fell through a (plot) hole in the floor and landed in the room below to hear a light snoring sound.
Curious, she turned on a light to see who was in the room and found a chibi Gohan muse, all hers for the taking.
Neko-chan ran by the closed door, eyes swirling.
Kioku opened a door and found a karaoke machine, and her eyes started to gleam.
Lady Eu ran down one hall on the second story, determined to help, one way or another.
Dabura on the other hand was relaxing in one of the comfortable chairs he found in the living room, watching everyone run around.
Satan and his plot bunnies were looking on the second floor when they ran into Neko-chan and Lady Eu, soon after Vampire was with them as well, and the four discovered they would have to go to the third floor.
Everyone groaned and waited for the others to catch up, and then they gestured to be followed and ran up to the last floor.
At the end of one hallway was a bright red sign that said, "EXIT," and the group groaned.
"I should have known it would be that easy. Everything around here has been rather ironic," Kibito grumbled, glaring at the sign.
They all walked towards it to find two silhouettes standing in the glow of the exit. These illuminated figures stepped forward, wearing masks and Shin asked, "Who might you two be?"
"I'm Agent 001!"
"And I'm Agent 002!"
"And together we are what remains of the Secret Jealous Agents!"
"What?" Satan asked, holding one plot bunny very close.
Neko-chan stepped in front and frowned, "Let me handle this!"
"Why?" asked KaioShin, looking at her with concern. "You only have one attack...."
"....And you couldn't even lift your hammer," Kibito finished.
Neko-chan was about to ask them how they knew about the event, but she remembered Shin was a god and just focused on the girl in front of her. "Actually, I have another attack, it's just not perfected yet." Quickly she pointed one finger at Agent 001 and yelled, "Soda Can Bounce!" and a can of grape soda bounced, following Neko-chan's finger. It hit the floor and bounced onto Agent 001's head, knocking her out, but Neko-chan wasn't happy.
"I was supposed to hit her toes!" the cat-girl yelped as the can bounced back and hit someone's toes. "OW!" Neko-chan's toes, in fact.
Kibito picked her up, chuckling. "Maybe you should not be on the floor, you seem hazardous to yourself."
Neko-chan stuck her tongue out at Kibito, and he figured it was the most he would get from her while he healed her toes and Agent 002 ran for her life.
Scared of anything else popping up, Shin gestured to Kibito and started to leave, he turned, bewildered, "Where is Dabura?"
Satan sighed, "I think he's down stairs. I can hear him and Kioku singing. Besides, isn't he dead over there in your universe. Here is alive, maybe he wants to stay."
Smiling, Shin nodded his head in agreement, "You are probably right."
Kibito put the cat-girl down, only to find her pouting, and crossing her arms.
"You cannot even say thank-you?"
"Thanks! Now get out of here!"
Blinking in indignation, Kibito was about to yell at her when Shin shook his head and kneeled down in front of her. He gently whispered, "I'm sorry, but we could not find her here, and sometimes things happen for a reason."
She didn't say anything out loud, she just turned and left the hallway, never looking back.
Finally Kibito and Shin were on their way back home to KaioShin-Kai, and everyone else went downstairs to find music, party favors strewn about the house, Jigglypuff handing out cappuccinos, coffee and Lyonette handing out tea and sushi rolls.
Pretty soon a party started and the group settled in for a nice relaxing time.
However, in one room on the second floor, an agitated Paladone started complaining about the noise, only to have Dabura open the door and hand him a pair of ear muffs.
"And what good will these do!" Paladone shouted running out of the room and throwing the ear muffs at Dabura.
Paladone ran out into the living room area and shouted, "Where's Neko-chan? She didn't even put me in the fight scene! She just gave me this stupid cameo at the end, and I could have been some help a long time ago! Not to mention, I never gave her permission to put me in anyway! Where is she?"
Drinking her coffee, Datura looked up and answered, "You know, I haven't seen her."
And with that Paladone left the house, only to the open the door a second later and say, "Ash is going to kill you all when he comes back and finds you all here."
For a moment the music stopped and everyone thought about it, and then they shrugged it off and continued enjoying their party.
**************
Back at LindaN's cottage, there was one tiny cat-girl who was not partying. Instead she was shedding a few tears and holding her blue plot bunny tight. Finally she took a deep breathe, and stopped crying. She stood up and looked back for one moment at the dark, empty cottage, "Well, Linda-san, I guess this is goodbye. I would have rather had a chance to tell you in person, but this is how it goes, I guess."
With that she started to leave and close the door, when she stopped, and turned back. No, this was no way to leave.
She walked back in, slammed the door shut and grabbed a black beret sitting on the hat rack. She pulled it over one ear, grabbed herself a Perrier and a Frappuccino, put them a nap-sack, threw it over her shoulders, picked up her plot bunny again, and then before she left, gently she flipped on one light, and left it on, just in case.
Then she closed the door, but left it unlocked. She closed her eyes and spun around, her arm sticking out with one finger pointing. And when she stopped she faced the direction she found herself in and without hesitation started to head to the Middle of Nowhere (which really is a place.)
"Well, plot bunny, it's just you and me, but I have a big imagination, and you have a plot, so together, we'll be just fine."
And they walked on....
The End
(Oh come on! Is it really ever over?!)
(4-10-2)
***************
There you have it folks! It's over! Now, I've had requests for a part II, and I am working on a teaser bit for it as we speak, but I'm not sure how long that will take me. I do have tons of things I need to start concentrating on, like my AU! Speaking of which, I'm working on teasers for that as well. From this point I plan to take a month off for writing. But, do look for an Aftermath shounen-ai special on the 17th. I'm working on this for the romantics that requested Shin and Kibito have more than I gave them. What can I say, I just can't mix Romance and Humor too well, and I almost never have Romance in my big projects. My AU being an exception. -_-; I had to work with someone else to get the Romance in there, and knowing me it will now start to slowly fade away. ^^;
Do expect me back sometime next month. ^.~ On the 11th. There are two reasons I'm coming back then, but I'll explain it all when the time comes. I do hope some of you will join me with my AU, as it will focus on KaioShin, Kibito, KaioShin-Kai, Vegeta-sai, Vegeta, Goku, Gohan, Piccolo, Namek-sei, Dabura, LoN from Slayers, Bulma, 17, 18, Kuririn, Dende, and I'm throwing in things like Atlantis, some Greek Mythology, St. Nichols, cute little critters, angel wings, the crests from the Digimon world, some odd thoughts I've had, key lime pies, pizza, Kintoun galore (Nimbus clouds,) strawberries, angst, humor, romance, the need for darkness and light to work in a balance and the one essence that might be able to break that balance! Whew! That's a mouth full. Either way, these have been my plans for the past, what...six-five months. I've been working on this for quite a while, so wish me some luck. I do plan to keep posting things in my diary, so Satan, Tenshi, anybody else, you're all welcome to bring some plot bunnies and eat pop corn while camping out over there! Hehe. Oh yeah, and I've got a blue plot bunny, so with all hope I won't run out of ideas yet!
4-11-2: Oh yeah! Check my bio! I've been here for one year you guys! Yea!! ^^; And all of you, thank-you for your patience, time, and your reviews. Don't forget to thank the flamers for their big mouths! If they had just shut up and left things alone I may have stopped. Not only that, but if they learned the first time around with attacking Datura and had just backed off and left it that I might have not even posted this in the first place, so let's give them a big thank-you! You're plot bunnies are in the mail, though Satan's afraid they may end up in Abu Dhabi!
Also, this time I thought I would do the plushies last, since this is the last chapter and all, so here we go!
Well, since Datura asked for one, I thought it would be cute to give one, at last. For her I have a Combat Ready Shin plushie. (See guys, you ask, I give!) He comes in a black gi, with whipped cream cans strapped to him, like Rambo, and a pair of army boots, and an army hat. Somehow, on Shin it works.
Since Lyonette asked for one, she gets Hamlet Shin plushie! ^^!! He's dressed in those odd clothes of the olden days of England, and has a skull in one hand. The only problem is I couldn't get Williams-san to give me a few clips so he could be a talking Shin plushie. ;_; But hey, maybe next time!
Just joking! This is a talking Shin that says, "To be or not to be," only the entire thing. Just squeeze his tummy and he won't shut up!
Muzura, you get to keep that Chibi Gohan as a muse!
Chibi Gohan muse:: Hello there, Muzura-san!
Chibi Shin muse:: Take him, take him away! There is only room for one muse here!
Chibi Piccolo, Chibi Vegeta, Chibi Wolverine, and Chibi Goku muses growl at Chibi Shin muse who just crouches down and blushes.
Lady Kreliana, we'll try out our Great Saiyaman Duo plushie set on you! ^.~ It's Videl and Gohan dressed as the Great Saiyaman team, and if you push their tummies at the same time they'll say synchronized phrases of justice!
Kyesha, you get a chibi Angel Winged Shin plushie holding strawberry.
Rivka-san, you actually get a cabbit this time. It's a blue-gray one, with long fluffy fur, and no, this one is real. Be careful, they eat tons of carrots.
Kioku, you get to try out our latest Shin plushie, since it was one of your ideas, KaioShin on a Kintoun! ^.~ He can hang from a ceiling!
Kimi, since you kept giving me ideas to go on, you get a Chibi Shin muse! ^.~
Chibi Shin muse, eating a strawberry looks up:: Hi! ::keeps eating::
Neko-chan:: He's all yours! I think I have two more, right? Well, I need to watch who I give them to. The fifth one is mine!
For Tenshi we have a Chibi Dabura muse. Don't ask how I got this one, he was hard to find.
Chibi Dabura muse:: Hello. I write nothing but angst and dark stories, so don't bother asking for anything else.
Neko-chan:: XP
JH, you get a Chibi Shin eating a strawberry plushie!
AngelAlastor, you get a Chibi Shin muse with Angel wings!
Chibi Shin muse, wrings his hands nervously, his wings quivering:: Hi...::looks down:: Please tell me you like me.
Neko-chan:: Poor little guy. He's scared. Be gentle with him.
Satan, you get another crate of carrots to support the plot bunnies' habits, and you get a certificate to use Santa's sleigh this year and deliver plot bunnies all over the world at Christmas time. This way they will get to where *you* sent them. ^.~
Krysaia, I was thinking of doing somethin' else...like give you Chibi Shin muse the power to have his angel wings! How's about that?! Hehe! ^.~
Lady Euphrosyne Pan of the Golden Trees (a.k.a. The Queen of Angst!) Hehe! I think I'll give you a Chibi KaioShin plushie dressed all in black holding onto a Kibito plushie for dear life! ^^; It's another set. A special edition angst set. Go figure!
Lord KaioShin, I'll give ya a swing set for your West and East plushie set! Now they can sit together and swing back and forth.
So long, and thanks for all the fish! This is Neko-sama, signing off and stepping of her soap box!
