Having just finished watched 'Prophecy 3: the Ascent', the Author sat down to work on his Girls with Guns Chapter. Then he thought better of it, and decided to work on his Nightmare Fighter Yumeko part instead. Half a scene done, the Author returned and regarded the previous chapters of Girls with Guns. "Chapters -42,666.135, xx, and (fifty) seven." "So write chapter (fifty) eight," his ursine avatar suggested. "That's what I had in mind." "Before you begin, I was wondering. Whatever became of that vampire?" "I gave him to Lady Chaos." "Poor guy." -#-d-#-r-#-o-#-n-#-f-#-d-#-r-#-o-#-n-#-f-#-d-#-r-#-o-#-n-#-f-#- GIRLS WITH GUNS Created by David Kelk (dkelk@sympatico.ca) [Quickly goes down on one knee] This chapter by Philip Barkow (pbarkow@is2.dal.ca) Hosted By Improfanfic (http://www.improfanfic.com) Chapter: Fifty (possibly) Eight: Shoujo Ai (with big guns) -#-d-#-r-#-o-#-n-#-f-#-d-#-r-#-o-#-n-#-f-#-d-#-r-#-o-#-n-#-f-#- Last time on Revolutionary Girl Utena, Juri was manipulated into once again challenging Utena to a duel. Besides providing further evidence that Akio is a bastard, and to a lesser extent that Utena is invincible, it accomplished little. Last time on Girls with Guns, the Proto-author delivered new weapons to Aki, Lavos, Aika, and Becky. -#-d-#-r-#-o-#-n-#-f-#-d-#-r-#-o-#-n-#-f-#-d-#-r-#-o-#-n-#-f-#- Aika and Becky regarded their newly acquired weapons with a critical eye. Elsewhere, Epsilon practiced his Odin impression. "Another hand plasma cannon," Becky commented, examining her new gun. "Seems to be of above average quality." "Same with the tank," Aika replied pointing her thumb at the heavily armored piece of equipment. "Except for the safety systems, that is. They seem significantly below standard." "Logically it would not be sensible to use weapons from an unknown source," Agent BA-3 commented. "Yeah, I guess you're right," Aika replied, turning towards the tank and slouching her shoulder slightly. "Pity though, it looks like a lot of fun." Becky placed a comforting hand on Aika's shoulder. "Ah, with Youmabibbles it's more fun to reduce them carpet problems one at a time." "Yeah." Aika straightened, and smiled slightly before kissing Becky. "And thanks." "Thanks for what?" "For reminding me why I love you." "Anytime, my love," Becky said, and then kissed Aika in return. "Let's go, Dark Queen Uzume isn't going to get kidnapped by herself, after all." "Actually, with her track record, she might." Laughing together, the two Magical Girls headed off. -#-d-#-r-#-o-#-n-#-f-#-d-#-r-#-o-#-n-#-f-#-d-#-r-#-o-#-n-#-f-#- Lavos regarded the chibified form of Aki and rolled her eyes. "Poor Washuu. Some people just can't cope with immortality." The Demoness then wiggled her nose at the would-be world ruler. There was a puff of taupe mist, and Aki was returned to her normal stature. "Thank you. It is unthinkable that the destined world ruler should be subjected to such an indignity as being chibified!" "Not that I mind watching you rant, cutie," Lavos reached forward and tousled Aki's hair. "But why don't you get dressed so we go can hit the movie rental place? If we don't get there soon, they might not have all of the movies I want to pick up." Noticing that she was still naked, Aki blushed slightly and began sliding into her skintight armor. "Do you mind?" "No, not at all," the demoness replied, her gaze unwavering. Aki sighed slightly, and resumed re-armoring herself. "You have titles in mind?" "Oh yeah, tons. It's hard to keep up with the latest movies when you're confined to the netherhells. There's a whole bunch of really funny stuff I want to see." Lavos began counting off titles on her fingers. "Nightmare on Elm Street, Sordid Sorority Sister Slasher parts 1-3, Venus Love Me Chainsaw Massacre..." The demoness continued listing movie titles as the odd couple walked off towards the local combination Movie Rental / Hojojutsu Training center. -#-d-#-r-#-o-#-n-#-f-#-d-#-r-#-o-#-n-#-f-#-d-#-r-#-o-#-n-#-f-#- Elsewhere, a short woman with reddish-brown hair double-checked the locks that held the currently unconscious forms of the Dodgers captive. "Very well Flid-" "THOU SHALT NOT CALL ME FLIDAIS!" the slightly taller, red-haired man shouted as he swung a fist towards his employer. Only to painfully land on the other side of the room as the smaller woman caught his wrist with practiced ease and executed a quick judo throw. "I'll call you whatever I want. I thought you'd learned that by now. Anyway, it is time to proceed with the next stage." -#-d-#-r-#-o-#-n-#-f-#-d-#-r-#-o-#-n-#-f-#-d-#-r-#-o-#-n-#-f-#- MAGICAL GIRL DO-GOODERS Data File Entry #363: Hunter Hentai Gaia Full Name: Gaia Ceredwin Occupation: Hunter Hentai.

Superhuman strength and speed. Malice Mizer fan. Background: After dealing with Flidais Bates' insidious schemes for a couple of years, Gaia began to co-opt his methodology, and actually plan ahead. >From there it was a slippery slope, as her plans grew more and more complex, the moral component of them became more and more of an inconvenience. Thus the Hentai Hunter became corrupt. Having long since co-opted Flidais Bates' operation, the theft of the Dodgers is merely one step in a larger plan. -#-d-#-r-#-o-#-n-#-f-#-d-#-r-#-o-#-n-#-f-#-d-#-r-#-o-#-n-#-f-#- "Yes, mistress," Flidais mumbled from a heap against the opposite wall. "That's better. It is time to start eliminating potential obstacles. Next, Aika and Becky shall be defeated." -#-d-#-r-#-o-#-n-#-f-#-d-#-r-#-o-#-n-#-f-#-d-#-r-#-o-#-n-#-f-#- Elsewhere, Aika and Becky sneezed almost simultaneously. "Bless you." "Gesundheit." -#-d-#-r-#-o-#-n-#-f-#-d-#-r-#-o-#-n-#-f-#-d-#-r-#-o-#-n-#-f-#- Dedication: To Dreiser, who's beginning to influence my writing style. (Yes, I blame her for the WAFFiness.)
