At the Tokyo Tower, a small bird perched on a windowsill and began to sing. It had seen all the humans play their music for each other, and felt obliged to add its own musical talents. The little bird's song rose into the air, clear and beautiful. "CARDO SUWARU!!!!!!" *whump* "Tej, watch where you point those things! I think you missed and hit a bird!" DO-GOODERS The Proactive (yet slightly destructive) Teen Superhero Team With No X Anywhere In Their Title Episode 33: Battle! Dragons are just plain mean! or Brother?! What is Villyn thinking? An improfanfic hosted by Spoof Chase Productions (http://pixelscapes.com/improfanfic) Started by Stefan Gagne Ep. 33 by Emily Robertson, aka Omi No Miko -- Matsuro was having a vision. Normally, this wouldn't be a big deal, visions were a normal everyday occurrence to him. But this vision was during a battle, and that could get really annoying. It wasn't just any battle, either. It was a battle with the dragons, and his mother had specifically told him he would fight the dragons if he came to the Tokyo Tower. Matsuro sighed and hoped his mother wouldn't say something childish like "I told you so." "Matsuro...I told you so." His mother said, a smug look on her face. If Matsuro hadn't been too bishonen, he would have sweatdropped. "I know, Mom. You were right." Matsuro replied, dodging one of Mermaid's drum sticks, which she threw like boomerangs. "Matsuro, who are you talking to?" Tejina asked, throwing another Cardo Suwaru out. "My mother." he answered, "She's really distracting me." "Ano...Isn't your mother dead?" Kireiko asked, pausing in his ass kicking. "She is." The battle paused as all the fighters gave him a "you're weird" look, then resumed several seconds later. -- "'I love you.'" "Now now, Mr. Pikasworth, that's a bit of a crazy idea, isn't it?" Villyn said to his stuffed companion. "'I love you.'" "Well...I suppose that would make sense." Villyn replied. "'I love you.'" Villyn sighed. "Yes, of course I miss my dear Natsuko. I would do anything for her. I just wish she could be here now, and then none of this would have happened." Villyn sighed again and slouched in his chair in a depressed sort of way. He clutched Mr. Pikasworth to his chest and thought about his wife. It was such a shame, Aki really needed a mother. But maybe he could... "'I love you.'" "Mr. Pikasworth, that's genius! How wise and great you are!" Villyn praised the beanie baby. "I shall do it right away, my faithful advisor!" Villyn got up from the chair and checked his armor, a happy look coming over his face. Then, he hesitated. "I'll tell Aki about her brother...right after I watch Pinky and the Brain" Villyn sat back down and turned on his favorite show, happily cradling Mr. Pikasworth to his chest. -- "Matsuro, behind you!" Keiko cried, warning the bishonen drummer. Matsuro whirled around just in time to dodge being hit by Scotch's amp. Meanwhile, Aki stood off to the side, determined not to transform into ANYTHING if she could possibly avoid it. Besides, Dragon Childe was outnumbered in this fight. There was really no reason for her to transform. Really. "Aaaaahhh!!" Koohii cried, dodging another attack. 'I'll have to use the thing uncle Ichiban gave me!' she thought to herself. She pulled out a small device from her pocket. It looked like a flat, blinking disk and was about three inches in diameter. Koohii pressed a button on its center, placed it on the ground, and stood on it. It beeped, causing an explosion which filled the room with light and nearly blinded everyone. "What the hell?!" Kireiko yelled, covering his eyes. "What's going on?" Tejina asked. Ayame took a deep berath. "Well, it appears as if--" "NOT YOU!!" Keiko cried, clamping a hand over Sailor Exposition's mouth. Just then, Koohii's voice rang loud and clear. "Feel the force of my ultimate attack! I will capture you and bring you back to Uncle Ichiban, so that we can become pop idols! You can never win now! OOOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOH!!!!!!!!!!" The light ended, and in its place were fifty Koohiis. -- Aki really hated transforming. Her old costume was skimpy and embarrasing, and her new costume was frilly and annoying. Nevertheless, with so many new enemies she had to do it. Aki pushed the button on her brooch and transformed into her princess Anniki costume. She sighed as she looked down at the expanse of satin, silk, and lace that made up the many layers of her dress. It covered her, but it was a bit too fancy to fight in. "JOYFUL CLEANSING LIGHT!!!" she yelled, taking out one of the Koohiis. She smiled at her success, and put her hands on her hips. "Candied...rainbow...pegasus..." Koohii twitched, slowly getting back up. Aki yelped and jumped back. Koohii stood up to her full height and pulled out a microphone from...somewhere. She swung it around in circles, then flung it at Aki. The microphone hit her in the shoulder, not really doing much damage but hurting her nonetheless. Meanwhile, Matsuro was having a really hard time fighting the Koohiis. After his mother's rantings on how he should have listened to her were over, the battle had pretty much gone downhill. It wasn't that they were hard to kill, that was pretty easy to do. It was the fact that they kept coming back to life that annoyed him. What the hell WAS that thing that she had used, and how did it make her invincible? Matsuro filed away that thought for later, as one tends to be busy when fighting fifty pop idols. Now that he thought about it, why weren't Scotch and Mermaid fighting anymore? -- "You sure we shouldn't help her, Scotch?" Mermaid asked, absently playing with one of her pink ponytails. "Eh, she's a big girl. She can take care of herself." Scotch replied. "Wanna go get some lunch?" "Can we walk around a bit first?" Mermaid requested. "Being around Koohii that long always makes me a bit sick." "You too? I thought I was the only one." -- Matsuro dodged a stray microphone and sliced one Koohii in two. He whirled around and cut a microphone off by its cord. 'There's too many of them!' he thought. If they were going to get anywhere in this battle, they would need help fast. "Hiiiiiiiii!!!!!!!" Matsuro blinked. "Yoruko?! What are you doing here?" "Well," Yoruko said, "I came here to find The One-" "Me, you mean." "Yeah, you. And you're in trouble, so I also came to help you." Yoruko smiled sweetly. "And here I am!" "...Okay, so are you going to help us?" Matsuro asked, fending off another Koohii. "Oh, right! Yup!" Yoruko pulled out her sword and began slashing Koohiis left and right. Matsuro stared at the strange woman a little longer, then went back to fighting. -- Kireiko and Tejina fought off a circle of Koohiis coming their way. Kireiko jumped behind one that was swinging a microphone at him at him and used his hands to strangle it. The stupid singers just wouldn't die! "What's with this girl?!" Kireiko yelled, "Her clones keep coming back to life!" "Yeah, and her singing sucks!" Tejina agreed. All of the Koohiis froze. In one voice, they said, "What was that?" Tejina blinked. "Ummm...I said your singing sucks." And then they all began to babble hysterically. "Nooooo!!!!" "I WILL be a pop star!" "Our lyrics are good!" "I wanna be a diva!" "This can't be true!" Sailor Rapture, upon noting this reaction, had changed into Agent BA-3 and was now analyzing their opponent thoughtfully...with a thoughtful look (expression) upon her face. "I think..." She began, "I think that insulting her music does the biggest damage." Hanaki blinked. "But, how is that possible? Nothing else kills her!" BA-3 shrugged. "I don't know, there's only one way to find out..." She stepped forward and looked one of the Koohii's straight in the eye. "Your music stinks," She said, "You'll never be a pop star. You're just not good enough." *pause* "NNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" The Koohii withered away, seemingly disappearing into its microphone. Everyone shared a collective blink. "Wow..." Aki finally said. Kireiko grinned in an evil, sadistic way. -- Much, much later, the group gathered at the Nakao house. Everyone was pretty tired from the fight, and Kireiko wasted no time in plopping down on the couch. "Ugh," he began, "That was rough." The group nodded in unanimous agreement. "We've been gone a long time." Matsuro noted in a disinterested, bishonen way. Aki nodded again. "Yeah. Tejina, mind if I call my dad? He's probably worried." Tejina grunted in consent, and Aki wearily made her way to the phone. "Well, that was interesting, wasn't it?" Yoruko said cheerfully. Having not been present for most of the fight, more energetic than everyone else. Hanaki turned to her, an annoyed look on her face. "Why are you still here?" The purple-haired girl asked, not in the mood for cheerful people. "Dunno, I don't have anything better to do..." Yoruko replied. Aki walked back into the room with a concerned look on her face, which Becky noticed first. "Hey, what's wrong?" she asked. "It's my dad...I'm just kind of worried about him. After he and Charity-chan broke up, he hasn't been the same. It's not normal." Aki said. She sighed and wondered what her father was doing now... -- Villyn nodded at the TV and wrote something in a notebook. He smiled and evil smile as Pinky and the Brain went to a commercial break. "This is pure genius! No one can resist country music!" Villyn exclaimed. He held an evil pinky up to his mouth and stroked his companion, Mr. Pikasworth, on its stuffed head. -- A beaten and battered Koohii stumbled into the small cafe. She looked around desperately for her companions, then found them in a small booth near the back. She stomped up to Scotch and Mermaid in an angry but still hyper sort of way. "Oooh! I'm really mad at you two for leaving!" Koohii exclaimed, "I had to fight off all those bad people by myself-" "With yourself." Scotch corrected. Mermaid snickered. Koohii's face contorted in confusion. "Yeah, that too. Anyway, it was really hard and they beat me up and they insulted my singing! Uncle Ichiban's gonna be real mad and maybe he won't let us be the offical band for the Dragons!" Mermaid blinked. "Yeah, so?" "I'LL NEVER GET TO BE A POP IDOL!!!!! WAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!" *pause* "...Are you done?" Scotch asked. Mermaid just looked bored and played with her hair. *blink* "Uh..." Koohii paused, "Yeah, pretty much. Anyway, I have a bigger problem." "What's that?" a weary Mermaid inquired. Koohii held up a handful of microphones, holding them by their cords. "What am I gonna do with all of these?" -- When Aki got home, she was glad to see her father in the front room waiting for her. Villyn stood up and walked toward his daughter, causing Aki to blink at his strange behavior. Her father was usually much louder, even in a state of depression. "Aki, there's something I must tell you." Villyn said, dramatically holding his daughter by her shoulders. "What is is, Dad?" Aki asked, confused. "Matsuro..." Villyn began, determined to do a better job of this than he did while talking to Charity. "Matsuro is your brother." IS MATSURO REALLY AKI'S BROTHER? IS THIS WHAT IS MEANT BY MATSURO'S DESTINY? WHY WASN'T ANYONE BESIDES THE DO-GOODERS AND VILLYN IN THIS CHAPTER? WILL UNCLE ICHIBAN BE MAD? WILL KOOHII BECOME A POP IDOL, OR WILL SCOTCH AND MERMAID LEAVE THE BAND? WHAT WILL KOOHII DO WITH ALL OF THE MICROPHONES? HAS THE AUTHOR PROCRASTINATED WAY TOO MUCH WHEN WRITING THIS? WHY DIDN'T I ATTEMPT A RUN-ON SENTENCE? CAN ANYONE REALLY BEAT 309 WORDS? Find out next time on OW!!...I mean DO-GOODERS, written by the honorable John Evans! Or maybe something completely different! ==== Wow, I finally got this done! Arigato to all my prereaders (all five of em'), Delfina, Eslington, Jonatan Streith, Lawrence Chu and Lady Chaos! Without you peoples, I'd still have all those icky grammar and spelling mistakes. I know this is a bit short, but it's not too bad, ne? maybe next time I'll do a better job, but practice makes perfect, as the saying goes. Ja ne!
