Zereth blinked as his game of Septerra Core was interrupted by a parcel dropped on his keyboard by a memeber of the Plot Contrivance Postal Service. "Hm? What's this?" He pulled out a Flashback-O-Tron(tm), which promptly activated. "The Authors would never stand for it!" Plotty replied, outraged. "The Authors exist beyond the Fourth Wall," Fourth replied confidently. "They exist beyond me. Their ability to influence this reality is limited by what I allow them. Run along little plotling. Run if you value this shadow existence you call a life." Zereth narrowed his eyes. "You have forgetten something, Fourthy... Me." *** Girls with Guns Chapter 37: OR: Zereth gets a lot of screentime This chapter by: Zereth Originally created by David Kelk *** Meanwhile, Mecha Tom Green was in a diner, ordering a Giant Radish, while a Man-Eating Octarine Snowball rolled through, devouring anybody in its path. *** Aika and Becky crept through the darkened halls of the choclate factory, guns drawn. "Wait! Do you hear that?" questioned Aika. "Yes. It sounds like... Something large," replied Agent BA-3. Suddenly, a large Grue walked around the corner and into a hail of gunfire. *** MAGICAL GIRL DO-GOODERS Data File Entry 3079266-Q: Grue Full Name: Freddy T.

Background: This Grue strayed from the caverns of the Zork games, and has been haunting this choclate factory ever since, for no real reason. *** "Ow! Ow! Hey, stoppit! That hurts!" Aika and Becky blinked in suprise and stopped firing. "Becky, tell me... Did that big monster... whine at us?" "It appears so," replied Agent BA-3. Freddy T. Grue picked bullets out of his skin. "What'd you go and do that for?" "Um... Well... You know, dark corridors, odd noises, big monster coming around corner..." explained Aika. "Oh, well, that's understandable. So, what're you doing here?" "We are looking for the Children of Chaos," said Agent BA-3. "Oh, them? They're in the #3 storage room." Aika blinked in suprise. "... Them?" "Yep. Alll 13,999 remaining." Aika blinked once more. "... Well, that was... um..." "Pointless?" asked Agent BA-3. "Yes." *** Meanwhile, this being an Active Kasumi chapter, she was engaged in a search for Jack who was hiding for fear of his life in a cactus shop. *** Zereth headed for Fourthy's domain, stopping only to pick up his Rabbit Launcher. "`Beyond the fourth wall' my ass. I exist on both sides simulteanously." *** Andraea Emira Davies stepped away from the giant waffle-iron thing and pressed the "start" button. Time passed. Dr. Pfischer turned to Queen Pulsating, Bloated, Festering, Sweaty, Pus-filled, Malformed Slug-For-A-Butt. "If I may present... Hoover H!" Sailor H looked at herself in a mirror. "Hmm... interesting..." *** Fourthy blinked as a rabbit bounced off his head and sat there on his desk, its nose twitching in confusion. He raised his eyes from the rabbit on his desk to the blue-haired teenager in the doorway. "We need to talk," said Zereth. ***** Authors Random Stuff At The End: Special thanks to Stephica for the diner scene and "Hoover H". So, I wonder what the other GwG authors are going to do to me for suddenly killing the Children of Chaos plot thread in a sweeping anticlimax. ^_^ Sorry it's so short, but I ended up having to do it all on the last day. Well, have fun, Tabris! BWAHAHAHAHAHAH! *** "Oh my. Isn't that uncomfortable?" Kamiversal Jack whimpered.
