DO-GOODERS Original Concept by Stephan Gange Episode 6 - Chaos! Becky's Little Secret! by Will McDuff When last we left our heroes, Tejina, Kireiko, Matsuro, and Becky were about to start playing at their new gig, which was really a trap set by Nemesis Serendipity Villyn, which the Do-Gooders knew about thanks to Nemesis's daughter Aki, but the band decided to play anyway, above where Keiko was in the middle of summoning something, and in front of the Cthulhuists, at the party at the Tokyo Legitimate Businessmen's Club, which was really a front for organized crime, all of which was unknown by the dwarves Balin and Dalin, who were getting drunk with a tall man with a runesword, and trying to forget about the Valkyries, who were about to crash the party to get back the sword that Matsuro had returned to his stomach. All of this added up to an interesting night, not to mention the longest run-on sentence ever to grace an Improfanfic part. -=*=-=*=- On one side of the Tokyo Legitimate Businessman Club's ballroom, Mrs. Amy Anderson of the CIA smiled. It wasn't every day she smiled, but it wasn't every day that her ear piece relayed permission from the Japanese government to arrest the crime lords of both Seattle and Los Angeles. The agents were in position but she decided to hold off the bust until the end of the meeting. After all, she didn't want to disturb the innocent businessmen until she couldn't avoid it. That and the band might be good. A little bust tonight and then she could relax and vacation a bit. -=*=-=*=- On the other side of the room, V had come with the sole purpose of seeing the band. Weird things had been associated with them, the Do-Gooders they called themselves, and when the agency wanted someone to check it out, he volunteered. He had wanted to visit Japan anyway. "Do you think they will be any good, V?" "Probably, kid," he said to his partner. Of course, they had to send a partner with him. But all in all, this was a pretty cushy job. There were some days when it paid to be a Man in Black. -=*=-=*=- "Ladies and gentlemen, we are the Do-Gooders!" cried out Tejina into the mike while Kireiko grinned and hit the opening chord. It was explosive. Literally. The floor blew apart as a twenty foot tall demon was wrenched from Hell and appeared in front of Keiko with not nearly enough headroom. The window shattered as the Valkyries arrived in the middle of a war chorus. Matsuro broke off playing when he realized that everyone else was standing shocked. Brother Maynard dived under the refreshment table. Kireiko stared dumbfounded at his guitar. Just about everybody else pulled a gun. And just when everything was about to erupt into one of those fights that end up with anyone unimportant to the plot dead and massive amounts of property damage, Tejina put her mike in front of the speaker. SSSS K K RRRR EEEEE EEEEE EEEEE EEEEE EEEEE EEEEE EEEEE EEEEE ! ! ! ! S K K R R E E E E E E E E ! ! ! ! SSS KKK RRRR EEEE EEEE EEEE EEEE EEEE EEEE EEEE EEEE ! ! ! ! S K K R R E E E E E E E E SSSS K K R R EEEEE EEEEE EEEEE EEEEE EEEEE EEEEE EEEEE EEEEE ! ! ! ! "By Thor's Hammer," shouted Brunhilda, "what is that infernal racket?" Tejina let loose one of her best smiles. "Excuse me, everyone. Now that I've got your attention, could everyone send a representative up here so that we can have a nice, orderly brawl? This is too complicated to simply go blasting at each other." -=*=-=*=- In a large auxiliary room of the TLB Club, a rather odd group of people shared tea and biscuits around a small wooden table and tried to iron out exactly who was trying to kill who. Normally this would start with a round of introductions, but Becky had other ideas. "Mom? Dad? What the heck are you two doing in Tokyo?" "Well, I was going to make the biggest bust of my life, but every time your father shows up-" started Becky's Mom, Ms. Anderson of the CIA. "There you go blaming me again," countered V. "Just because the CIA can't cope with a little weirdness-" "Can you two cut it out in front of my friends at least?" interjected Becky. Said friends were managing to do convincing imitations of dead fish, eyes wide open in shock, and jaws hanging freely. Tejina was the first to recover. "You're parents are secret agents?!" she managed. "Kick ass," pronounced Kireiko. "Whoa," said Matsuro. Becky rolled her eyes. "Yeah, a real post-nuclear family. I'm so proud." "Enough!" cried Brunhilda. "I thought we entered this room to organize the fight!" That managed to bring everyone back the the problem at hand. "All right then, why are you here?" asked Tejina. "We are here to reclaim a sword of duality," declared Brunhilda. "It is being held by one of you mortals in the room." To emphasize her point she drove one of the butter knives into the table. Matsuro nodded. "Oh, so that's what it is..." "Matsuro, the Valkyries are your problem," decided Tejina, then pointed at the 20 foot tall demon. "You?" Have I remarked on this demon yet? I knew I was forgetting something. Well she, although twenty feet tall, wasn't exactly frightening. She looked rather like the Valkyries, except a bit larger, although she had a much more vapid expression. Blonde hair, blue eyes, and one heck of a fashion sense completed the look.. "Oh, me?" said the demon. "Oh, I was summoned here, like, a couple of minutes ago? And, like, I was in the middle of the greatest mall crawl ever! I mean, like, why do I always get summoned when I'm shopping? Anyway, I'm a little annoyed, ya know, and I figure I should, like, destroy some stuff or something." Keiko nodded. "Yes, demon, bring the city to their knees! WHOAHOHOHOHO- hack-cough..." "Sounds like my department," said Tejina. "Next?" "I am a perfectly normal businessman from Massachusetts," declared the Head Cthulhuist. <> remarked V in English. <> The Cthulhuist blinked. "Um, it seems that my cover is blown. I am looking for a body for the Great Cthulhu to enter so that he can marry Jodi Foster." "Mine." said Kireiko. "Right, and Becky you take cover and the agents and the normal criminals get each other." finished Tejina. "Shall we?" -=*=-=*=- ARE YOU READY TO RUMBLE? IS THIS THE END OF OUR HEROES? AFTER ONLY SIX EPISODES? WILL THE AUTHOR TRY TO EXCUSE THE LENGTH BY CLAIMING A MIDTERM GOT IN THE WAY? IS BECKY ABOUT TO BE UPGRADED FROM ACCESORY TO MAIN CHARACTER? HOW COME THE DO-GOODERS DON'T HAVE A BASSIST? WILL THIS LIST OF QUESTIONS BE FOLLOWED BY A COMMERCIAL? Heck, even you can answer the last one. Special thanks to the Procrastinator's Association of Canada. Our first meeting is whenever we get around to it. "I just figured out somthing. I'm not an optimist, I'm a cheerful pessimist." -Will McDuff. Webpage: http://www.geocities.com/Tokyo/Temple/8509/ =^n.n^= =^n.n^= =^n.n^= =^n.n^= =^n.n^= =^n.n^= =^n.n^= =^n.n^= =^n.n^= =^n.n^=
