A Simple Wish Version 3.1.1 Final Copy

by Shaun Garin


Chapter 12 : And from out of the sea came a dragon with 12 heads....

Black....

Dark....

Death....

<Death, what the HELL are you doing here?>

//I just wanted to stop by. It�s been a while since you�ve visited.//

<Forget that, I need to stop Lorenz before he kills Shinji and starts Second
Impact.>

//Ah, the foolishness of the human spirit. Though it is refreshing than having
to masquerade as that seven foot skeleton.//

<Har, har, har, very funny Death. Mind sending me back now?>

A resigned sigh split the black room. //As you wish. You do know that I love
talking with you every so often, what with the close calls?//

<Yeah whatever, but I�d like to go now.>

//As you wish.// A solitary beam of light emitted from the roof. //Follow the
light back to the Ningenai. It�s nice talking again, Shaun.//

<Yeah, see ya Death.>

Death�s radiant and beautiful smile glowed in the dark light as I rose into the
air, and back to consciousness. //Good luck Chosen One, you have a long way
to go.// With that, she drifted into the shadows.

***

My eyes snapped open to see a worried Misato, clutching a towel to my side.
Not again. The bastard shot me. For the second time. �Hey,� I croaked out.
�Where�s Shinji?�

�Shhh, you�re still injured,� she whispered, while holding her side which 
seemed to have some injury.

I looked at her side and saw the pinpricks of blood. �You were shot by Gendo, 
weren�t you.�

Misato nodded. �Yeah, but before it hit, a glimmering purple shield went up in 
front of me, shielding from most of the bullets power. I only got a glancing 
blow.�

I sat up, ignoring the pain in my side. �It was your Ranger suit. It still has a link 
to you and protected you from a deadly injury.� I got to my feet, albeit wobbly. 
�I have to stop Lorenz. He�s going to try and start Third Impact.� Unheeding 
Misato�s protests, I dashed towards Central Dogma.

Misato stared after me, pondering my words. �Ranger suit? Now why does that
seem so familiar?�

***

�All Megazords, lets finish them off,� Sailor Moon commanded from the 
Original Megazord cockpit. In Makoto�s place, sat Saturn who was weary from 
the first blitz.

With a rush of power, the Megazords charged up their respective finishing 
moves and unleashed them at the White Evas. They stopped moving and suddenly, 
exploded, sending Eva bits everywhere. Surprisingly, the blasts were contained so 
much that nothing was destroyed by a shockwave or the shrapnel.

Makoto waved at her teammates and then produced a comm badge. �Makoto to 
Emergency Transporter Control, one to beam down to Central Dogma.�

With a glitter of light, the two dematerialized, and reappeared in front of a startled 
Misato, who was standing with a bloody towel to her side. �Where�d Shaun go?� 
Makoto snapped, a considerable air of authority around her body.

�He went down to Central Dogma. He said something about preventing a man 
named Lorenz from starting Third Impact. You�ve got to stop him, he�s like a 
bull in a china shop!�

Makoto shook her head. �I don�t think so. He knows what�s going to happen and 
he can prevent it. But for now,� she held aloft her Henshin wand and shouted, 
�Jupiter Crystal Power, Make UP!!!!�

In a torrent of electric and green light and energy, she was clothed in her Super 
Sailor Jupiter uniform, much to the gawking Asuka and Misato. �We have to find 
more survivors. If I�m correct, Ritsuko is down in Central Dogma, shot and laying 
in a pool of LCL.�

Asuka snapped up and started to dash towards the elevator. �Let�s go then!� she 
shouted.

Misato followed behind, supported by Jupiter. �Makoto? How..when...how did you 
do that?� she asked.

�I�m Sailor Jupiter. It�ll take a long time to explain but when we return, we�ll 
remove the memory blocks from your mind. Try not to think about it, it�ll take a 
long time to understand.�

Misato nodded and continued on her journey to the lift.

***

<Music cue - One Winged Angel - played in the background.>

A naked Rei sat, crying over her emotional and physical pain. Behind her, a 
psychopath grinned, his weird glasses gleaming in the light of Lilith. �You will start 
Third Impact. You...are my path to Godhood.�

�THINK AGAIN JACKASS!!� A blue, brown and black blue shot by Lorenz, 
carving a deep trench in the ground with a flaming golden sword. Lorenz 
jumped back, his eyes gleaming red. The boy turned a sharp corner, and lunged, 
his sword pulled back and charging with a blur of blue energy. �THIS ONE IS 
FOR THE PEOPLE YOU MANIPULATED YOU JERK!!�

Suddenly, Lorenz flared with demonic red light and fired a bolt of force from 
his palm. Shaun went carreming into the cross, bouncing off of Lilith, and 
crashing down to the floor. He wheezed and coughed some blood up. �Damn, 
he�s got some forcebolts.�

Lorenz glided up, and grasped him by the neck, squeezing hard enough just to 
cut off his oxygen supply. �You, cannot stop me boy. I have been around for 
more than a thousand years. I WILL assend to Godhood.�

�Well...I don�t...think Kami-sama....will be too...pleased,� he gasped out, 
grabbing his outstretched arm and choking out, �Sonic wave.�

Lorenz blasted into the wall, from the force of the pure sound waves shot from 
Shaun�s fingers. He coughed and gasped for air. Suddenly, Lorenz stood up, a 
demonic smile on his face. The boy looked up, and paled. �My God, you�re a 
Mazoku!!!�

�That�s right. I was casted out of Heaven a long time ago, and I want to regain 
my status. I am the Demon, Dragon Baine, the supplier of the spell the Dragon 
Rage.�

�Dragon Rage...� Shaun said, storing the information in his mind.. He lifted his 
sword and hurled it at Dragon Bane, and brought together his hands, two fingers 
upraised. �Ra-Tilt!�

A hurricane of astral energies blazed into Lorenz who staggered under the 
amplified attack. He suddenly burst it off with a blaze of dark energy. Shaun 
swore silently as the weapon returned to his hands.

�Come get some,� Lorenz taunted.

He snarled in rage as he placed his palms together, shouting in a booming voice,
�Dragon SLAVE!!!�

The crimson energies hit Lorenz who staggered slightly under the assault of 
negative power. �Good,� he shook it off with a jerk of his shoulders and lifted an 
hand. �BUT NOT GOOD ENOUGH BOY!!!�

Shaun felt the energy tear into his body as he went flying into the cross once 
again. He felt his rib snap under the hit, and he fell to the ground, weakened. 
The Falcon Blade fell from his hands, and rolled towards Rei who sat there, 
crying.

She looked at it and stared into the back of the insane Mazoku. She grasped the
hilt and whispered, �Please, just this once, work for me.�

The glowing silver blade sprang to life. Suddenly, it turned golden and started to
flare with light and smoke, tendrils of energy leaching from the seemingly
unstable sword in her hands. Rei stood up.

Lorenz grinned, his eyes glowing and his voice distorted. �NoW, YoU aNd AlL 
tHe PeOpLe, WiLl Die...�

Rei stood up behind him, and brought down the gleaming sword. It connected 
with his neck and Lorenz screamed, his howls echoing in the cavern. With 
effort, he grabs the Falcon Blade and tosses her into the wall, the sword clattering 
to the wall, and bouncing back to its owners hand.

Rei felt her blood rise up in her throat. Now, she knew what it felt like...to be a
human. To experience fear, hope, laughter, fun, and emotions in general, was 
both a thrilling and frightening situation. Crystalline tears rolled down her face as 
she felt her courage swell in her chest once again, as Lorenz came closer to her, 
his hand scorched from the weapons connection.

Shinji suddenly bolted into the room, and screamed, �NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!�

Shinji�s eyes glowed with hatred as he saw Asuka pulling out a bleeding 
Ritsuko from the pool of LCL. He saw Rei, crying in the corner, being 
approached by the man called Lorenz. Shaun�s form, struggling to stand back 
up, his glowing weapon in his hands, flickering with his weaning spirit. Shinji 
thought of the evil in this world. The pain, the suffering, his fathers cold 
hearted insanity, and Rei, sitting there, crying like a child. His hands started 
to glow with silver power as outstretched them, much to the astonished 
looks of the others.

He colalessed a huge ball of silver energy in his hands, and screamed out his 
retrebuttal to the insane man, with a thundering cry of Ra-Tilt. The bolt of 
energy lanced out, and engulfed the Mazoku. The Mazoku cried out again as 
the Astral energies consumed his body. From the other side, a shout of Dragon 
Slave, echoed as Lorenz�s back was hammered with a burst of crimson energies.

Lorenz pushed back with his demonic powers but the two grit their teeth and
poured their uttermost power into the creature. Shinji�s form flickered with a
form of a stone skinned man with a spikey hairdo, rock formations etching
his body. Only Rei noticed.

Lorenz howled as a demon could do as his body was ripped from the Astral 
plane and the physical plane by Astral energies, and the thundering energy of 
the Dark Lord Shabernigdo. Rei scampered away as the huge implosion of 
power ripped throughout the room.

In the din of the hurricane of magic, Shinji heard the sailor suited warrior yell
beam us out! Shinji felt a force pull him from the area in a silver and blue 
glimmer, and he appeared atop a cliff, just in time to see a huge ripping tidal 
wave of energy, both evil and good rise into the air. The place exploded with 
the Angels presence wiped from the face of the earth.

Shinji collapsed, tired, and heeded the sirens call of the darkness.

***

<Breath of Fire 3 - Pure Again Music background>

Shinji limps out of the infirmary, weakened considerably from the last battle. 
He is greeted by his friends. Asuka, Rei, Misato, Ritsuko, Makoto and Shaun. 
He grins weakly as they head towards the car.

Driving down the road, Shaun heads towards the mountains, the breeze whipping 
Misato�s long hair in his face. He laughs and brushes the strands from his face.
Coming to a fork in the road, he presses his watch and a ramp lifts in front of
the fork, much to the others astonishment.

He drives inside, and passes a huge hangar, filled with huge robots. Not Evas, 
Robots. Zords, Makoto tells them as they stare and gawk in awe. Soon, he pulls 
into a parking lot, and they all pile out. Walking to a lift, Shaun keys in the 
highest level. With a grinding of gears, they lift up into the complex, the Eva 
pilots, Misato and Ritsuko watching everything from the glass window.

Asuka asks what this place is. Shaun replies, Its the Alliance Guild Japan Mother
Command. You�ll be here for a while until Tokyo is rebuilt.

Alliance Guild? Misato asks, a look of confusion on her face. I had dreams about
something like this before.

That�s because we places nural blocks on your memory, sheering out and altering 
the memory slightly of the 13th Angel attack, Makoto responds when the 
elevator reaches the top floor.

Soon, they reach a complex, where a short red head, about 16, rushes out of the 
waiting celebration crowd and hugs Shaun, kissing him. Welcome back 
Commander, she greets. Shaun smiles and said, It�s good to be home.

Cut to a scene where Washu is tending to a pair of forms in a pair of tubes, Shaun 
and Makoto floating inside them. Asuka, Shinji and Rei watch in awe as their 
bodies age within a few seconds, to a mature pair of 17 or 18 year olds. Soon, the 
liquid is drained and they step out, change. Makoto has a wide smile on her 
face when she said, We two aren�t 14 year olds, we are actually 17 year olds.

Asuka recomposes herself and smiles. Then, I�m glad I know you two.

Makoto, Shaun and Rei look at each other and transfer a few psychic words 
between them.

<Are you all right Rei?> Shaun asked.

<Yes, I am. Shaun, I saw Shinji-kun�s form flicker with a form of a man. He
was his height, with rock blue hair, rocky face with stone skin.>

Makoto grinned. <Zelgadis. Shinji must be a direct descendant of Zelgadis
Greywers.>

Shaun nodded. <That explains it. Come, lets meet the rest of the crew.>

***
Up above ground, the Masaki Place is having a party to celebrate the 
final victory between mankind and the Angels. Ryoko has already 
brought out the Sake and beer which she and Misato are drinking to their 
hearts content.

Ranma and Nabiki are trying to keep Akane out of the kitchen to try and 
�help� with her toxic cooking rather unsuccessfully. Yoshu has dropped his 
old disguise, much to his sisters delight and was speaking with the Saotome 
Matriarch, Nadoka, and Cologne who, is actually, an old wife of his until 
they separated 150 years ago.

Shinji, Asuka and Rei are the guests of honor since they did most of the 
fighting. Shinji is blushing, embarrassed, Asuka is soaking up the glory, and 
Rei is giggling at Shinji�s predicament.

Ritsuko is talking with Skuld and Washu, amazed at the amount of 
knowledge the two seemingly 12 year olds have. Urd joins Misato and 
Ryoko at the Sake, and Belldandy, Kasumi, and Sasami are cooking in the 
kitchen. Kiyonne lands the ship, preventing Mihoshi from creating a tidal 
wave.

Genma and Soun are playing Shogi, while consuming as much beer and Sake as 
Ryoko, Urd and Misato.

Usagi is in the kitchen, performing the official taste tester duty while Makoto 
helps the others cook. Ami soon joins the technological trio and starts 
showing them her palmtop computer. Washu, for once is impressed.

Soon, Hikaru and Shaun comes up the stairs from the Central Control. Hikaru 
is blushing for some reason. Soon, the other bases have started their party.

In the Masaki home, Shaun raises a glass and says, A toast, to the heroics of the 
good NERV team. To Shinji, to Asuka, to Rei, to Misato and to Ritsuko. As the 
cheers die down, the food is served, Akane helping. Fortunately, they had kept 
her from the food prep and all the dishes were palatable.

***

�As it should be,� Kami-sama mused as the people of earth partied through the 
night.

�I agree,� Setsuna said from the sidelines.

�Don�t flatter yourself,� a third voice, obviously male, came from the third seat. 
�They�re just like Picard and his little minions. They�ll always pull through.�

�Q, don�t get too cocky,� Kami-sama said without turning from the TV screen. 
�They still have some other stuff to do before they reach Crystal Tokyo.�

Q snorted. �Well keep them away from my Universe. Ciao.� He vanished in a 
flash of light.

Setsuna looked at Kami-sama. �So when do you plan to start the next quest?�

Kami-sama thought for a second. �Well, in all honesty, in about two months.�

Setsuna looked shocked. �So soon? Why?�

Kami-sama grinned. �What better way to start off the Dirty Pair�s reputation?�

Setsuna groaned, holding her head in exasperation. �You�re hopeless Kami-
sama.�

Kami-sama�s smile reached his ears. �I try, Set-chan, I try.�

***

Shinji sat atop the Masaki home, staring into the faint glow of the setting sun 
when a female Shaun came up behind him, slipping a pair of slender arms around 
his neck. �Hey, what�cha thinking about?�

Shinji stared out into the last vestiges of the sun and said quietly, �Gendo.�

Shaun knelt down behind him and started to work his tired muscles. �Are you 
angry at him? Were you sure he had to die?�

Shinji shrugged, a look of saddened regret on his face. �I...don�t blame him but...� 
he looked up into her pretty face. �He was insane, and to wipe out the whole 
human race just to be with mother...is too much a dedication to follow. I�m glad 
I killed him.�

Shaun sighed and leaned his head against her chest. Shinji tried not to think of 
the two globes of flesh pressing into his neck. �I...had a family once,� she said 
quietly. �My father and mother were kind and caring. My brother always argued 
with me. Sibling Rivalry runs in the family I guess. Anyways, I never told anyone 
except a few people. I experienced two timelines.� At Shinji�s surprised look, she 
continued, �I watched a good team of people die in the tests of the Original and 
Thunder Megazords in 2004. I watched you, Rei and Asuka fight the Angels, each 
time, nearly being destroyed with each fight. I heard your screams as the shadow 
like Angel absorbed Unit 01. That�s when I intervened.� Idely toying with a strand 
of Shinji�s short hair, it looked very much that the Commander of the most 
powerful group of military personnel wanted to hide in the feminine body she was 
wearing. Behind a mask of regret.

She wrapped her arms around his neck and laid her head on his shoulder, a saddened 
look marring her magical beauty. �I saw...Second Impact. You never experienced it 
on a worldwide scale. 3.5 Billion people died in an instant. When I returned to 
Lacombe, my hometown in Canada, I found the place leveled with no survivors. 
The one who survived was a old man who used to live across the street from me. 
And he...died a few days later.�

�So how�d you go on?� Shinji asked quietly.

�It was very hard Shinji, but I was pressed for time. No time to build some Zords, 
I went into the remains of Angel Grove mountains and discovered the original 
Shogunzord laying there, ready to be used. That was the only thing I had to fight. 
In a fight before this timeline started, I was piloting the Shogunzord, racing towards 
your fight. I slashed the Angel and the AT Field with a full power attack. When you 
tumbled away, the Angel shot some sort of beam of energy at me. The systems were 
damaged beyond repair and after speaking with you on that world, I found...I had 
another chance. The Man Upstairs gave me a chance to prevent this and sent me 
back to 1998. Now you know why everything is like this.�

�And...I haven�t been in contact with my friends and family for more than seventeen 
years save for my brother and he�s always too busy designing weapons for the defense 
of the system.�

Shinji felt his eyes welling with tears. �I never knew that you had it so rough.�

�Every night, I think how much my life would have been if I never received the blasted 
wish,� she said. �Don�t you see? If I never received the wish, my world would have never 
experienced this life. When Skuld gave me it, my world had Universes mixed in with it, 
creating a literal multiverse. I never knew you would even exist as a human, rather 
than the Anime character that you were portrayed as.�

Shinji felt the truth in her words. �If you never received the wish, would you be 
living normally?�

�Shinji, in all seriousness, I would still be a overweight 40 year old with bad skin, a 
horrible complexion and a wishful fanfic writer. Now, look at me. I wear a female 
body half the time with a male body I could only dream about for most of my life. 
Hell, I don�t even know if I would be married or a dreamer.�

Shinji nodded, enjoying her body heat from the cold mountain air. �Shaun, you know 
that thing I did? The..Ra something or other? What was that?�

�Well it seems that you have some hidden magical potential. That was the most 
powerful Astral Spell in the book : The Ra-Tilt. I could be mistaken but you might be a 
powerful magic user for this time and era.� Shaun stared down at his astonished look.

�R-Really?� he stammered out.

She nodded. �I can try and teach you some magic. I sort of specialize in Elemental, 
White and Holy magic. When do you want to learn?�

Shinji worked himself out of her grasp, looked at her and said, �Now.�

Rei and Asuka watched Shaun float off the roof, and start coaching Shinji with his magic. 
�...now, what you have to do is try and focus your power into your body. Feel it like a 
solid platform under your feet as you step off the roof.�

Shinji�s voice floated across the yard like a ethereal ghost. �A-Are you sure?�

A faint laugh. �Don�t worry, I�ll catch you if you don�t get it right.�

Shinji visibly took a deep breath and spoke, �Levitation,� as he stepped off the roof. 
Shinji stood in thin air for less than a second before loosing his astral footing. He 
dropped but strong arms caught him before he landed. �That�s okay, try again.�

Asuka watched the magic lesson from afar when Rei said, �Shinji-kun is very good.�

�Pfft, really, I hadn�t noticed.� Asuka felt a twinge of jealousy as Shinji felt footing on 
the air again, his body standing straight up, a energy bubble around his body, supplied by 
an unseen force.

�...okay, now try moving. Picture yourself flying towards the tree and back, your clothing 
rippling on the back of the wind.�

Rei watched the lesson go on through the night when Asuka turned in. Soon, small flashes 
of fire emitted from his hands and impacting on a large rock in the yard. Soon the flashes 
changed to long lances of green light as the rock rapidly diminished in size.

Rei smiled, a rare thing, as the blasts became more powerful. Soon, the lesson stopped with 
the rock becoming a comet with that Explosion Away attack Shaun just had to show to 
Shinji-kun.

***

One month later....

�Outer planets are being accepted into the new WWWA Shaun. Is it time
to panic yet,� Ranma asked, his pigtail bobbing with each word.

I shook my head. �What�s the status in Graviton City?�

�Graviton City is totally being rebuilt. Wait a second, a huge alien spacecraft
is heading towards the city. Shall I scramble the X-Wings?�

I thought for a second but then shook my head. �Let them deal with it. It�s
time for Project A-Ko to start. A-Ko Megumi can handle this one. Besides,
I�d rather eat Akane�s cooking than C-Ko Kotobuki�s cooking.� I shuddered.

�That bad, huh?� Ranma asked, rewinding the video in the huge screen in
front of us. On the screen, the animated version of A-Ko and C-Ko were
choking and turning green from C-Ko�s cooking. Ranma winced as with the
whole bridge crew.

�Man that�s bad. Worse than Urd�s,� Skuld commented from the monitor
chair.

�I heard that squirt,� Urd groused from the scanning controls. �We got some
disturbance in Tokyo. Shall I bring it up on the screens?�

I flicked off the video and nodded. With a few taps of her slender fingers, a
scene appeared in the screen. The whole downtown shopping district was
slagged, smoke everywhere. I had a feeling that I either read about this kind
of carnage or seen it. The video feed turned to a pair of girls, both about
20ish years old. The one with orange and red hair was being berated by some
guy on a communicator while the purple haired one was acting all innocent,
letting the other gain the reprimandation. I heard the name, Kei and Yuri.
I paled.

Misato saw my reaction and asked, �What�s wrong?�

I cleared my throat. �Well, there�s good news and bad news. The good news
is that the 3WA is up, gaining more people from the stars for alliance. The
BAD news is that the Lovely Angels are in service. A.k.a. Kei and Yuri, and
even more simplified, The Dirty Pair.�

Haruka snorted. �Are they THAT bad?�

I turned around, a totally serious, or at least I hoped it was totally serious look,
on my face. �You know how much damage this world gets when one of those
blasted aliens such as the Ice Queen or Galaxia does when they attack? Well
Kei�s motto is : �Never blow up tomorrow what you can blow up today,�
and Yuri�s motto is : �It�s all Kei�s fault!�. In short people, we�re gonna have
to lay low for a while. Perhaps we should return to our old habits for a couple
of years unless the world needs us. Right now, the Dirty Pair are gonna
kick some serious butt.�

�And I thought that WE were that bad,� Michiru grumbled under her
breath.

I sighed. �Hi, I mean, Shidou-chan? Can you set up a meeting with the
leader of the WWWA? I�d like to see just how many planets they have
in this new Federation.�

�Hai,� Hikaru turned around and tapped a few buttons, sending a message.
Just then, she frowned and turned around. �Shaun, someone is trying to
take the Master Sword again.�

I frowned. �Again? That�s the, what, fiftieth person this month alone?
Don�t they read the sign : THIS IS A LANDMARK FROM THE ANGEL
ATTACKS, DO NOT TOUCH?�

Hikaru nodded exasperatedly. �Yeah. Well, anyways, lets go and get that
sword.�

�Later. I�d like to go in a month.� At their confused looks, I said, �Do
you WANT to be out there when the Dirty Pair start fighting?�

At the chorus of �NO SIR!� I clutched my ears and grinned. �Point proven.�

Just then, a tap at my shoulder was felt and I turned around. Setsuna. �Yeah?�

�Shaun, this isn�t the DP 3WA. That comes later. This is a space exporation
company. Kei and Yuri are the Dirty Pair�s Predessesors.�

�Well then, we don�t have much to worry about.�

***

�This is stupid,� Kei grumbled, �Coming all this way into the middle of Tokyo
to get a sword that�s in a crystal stone. I tell you, nothing is fun after the last
mission.�

�The last mission, you blew up the President�s car,� Yuri pointed out.

Kei grinned. �Yeah, it was a great fireworks demonstration.�

Soon, the park came into view, with a long line of men trying to pull the 
sword out of the stone. Kei frowned. �What�s with this sword anyhow? Does 
it say that the one to pull it out will become the new Emperor?�

Shoving her way up the rows, they quickly parted amidst the mummers of
Dirty Pair. When they finally got up to the top, many men were laying in
pain. Kei looked at the medieval sword, spat on her hands and gripped the
sword and pulled as hard as she could.

After several minutes of grunting and sweating, Kei finally collapsed on the
ground, panting in exhaustion. �Whoa, now that�s some stuck sword.�

Yuri soon followed suit, joining her partner on the ground. Just then, a trio
of people, all teens, came up the walkway. One was dressed in a brown
jacket, had stark black hair, brown eyes, blue jeans and a black shirt. He had
a carved stick hanging at his side. The second had a red shirt with wooden
ties, black silk pants and Chinese battle slippers. The third had a red shirt,
loose jeans and a gauntlet on her left hand.

The black haired man walked past Kei and Yuri, and grasped the hilt of the
sword. Kei smirked. �Hey kid, you�ll never pull it out of the stone.�

Much to the crowds shock, he tugged it free with no resistance. Waving the
blade around, he produced a scabbard, and put it on his back. Kei�s jaw
dropped in shock.

�How�d you DO THAT?!� Kei screamed.

The teen looked at her, amused. �This? Well, this IS my sword. I placed it
here about three months ago.�

Yuri stepped forward. �That sword needs to come into the 3WA HQ for
testing. Hand it over.�

He sighed. �Really now, I don�t think so.�

The red head wasn�t so agreeable and Kei lunged for it. Hikaru reacted
out of instinct, and drew the Master Sword from the scabbard, the teen
shouting �NO!� Suddenly, the sword flared to life and a bone chilling
laugh echoed around the area. A shilloette of a red haired man who gave
even Kei the wiles, appeared and said, �You cannot succeed.�

With a flare of light, the three condensed into a green, gold and red
orbs of power, each one embossing a golden triangle inside them. The
Master Sword dropped to the ground, and Kei snatched it up hurriedly.

With a flash of blue light, they disappeared into nothingness.

Yuri looked at where they were, scared out of her wits. �What do you
think happened to them Kei?�

�I don�t know. But whatever happened to them, scares the living shit
out of me as well.�

Yuri knew it was time to panic as the blue pulse from the Master Sword
died down. A voice echoed in the air. �Kei, and Yuri, the Lovely Angels,
keep the sword safe. It is a legendary sword that can only be wielded by
one who is chosen. Head to the first highway closest to your position.
There will be someone to pick you up.�

�Can we trust the voice?� Yuri asked quietly.

Kei looked at the gleaming sword in her hands and said, �If something 
like a God spoke to us, I think we should do it.�

Kei and Yuri headed out of the city where they were greeted by Misato
Katsuragi. �Hello. Kei and Yuri of the Lovely Angels. I�m Captian
Katsuragi. Welcome to Alliance Guild Command.�

End Chapter 12

End Mainframe Unit 00

Finally, after many rewrites and other things, I�m done this part of the
series! And to all the Dirty Pair fans out there, I must warn you that
I know nearly squat about the series. My sources of info is the Anipike
and Sean Gaffney�s Dirty Pair fanfics. Really.

So don�t send flames if I mess up the characters really bad.

Instead, send useful advice. Hints, profiles, character lists etc. to
hmss_m16@hotmail.com

That�s all for now!

Ja.

Oh, and I mangled the timeline. I�m focusing on characters from Magic
Knight RayEarth, Ah! My Goddess, Project A-Ko, Dirty Pair Flash and
Ranma 1/2. Other series such as Neon Genesis Evangelion are being set
back for a bit, running interference.

Rewrite notes : I deleted some parts, and made something clear..hopefully.

THE DIRTY PAIR ARE *NOT* THE SAME KEI AND YURI FROM
DIRTY PAIR AND DIRTY PAIR FLASH. THEY ARE THEIR
PREDESSESORS FROM THE ORIGINAL 3WA. THANK YOU.
