The Adventures of Super Kimi and Wonder Sama
The Birthday Gnome's Revenge
Part I
Happy Birthday Rush!
<Sama Says> Oi! Late birthday gift? Yeeeeeeah. Really late. XD SORRY RUSH. I've been sick/busy/uninspired. However, I think you will enjoy this. :D
For continuity purposes, this takes place BEFORE Return of the King, which is the awesome new story by AGOI & Cojo that you need to read right now if you haven't done so.
With the reconstruction of the K Tower finally complete, we find our heroes relaxing on their new and improved couch. Kimi had her feet up on the coffee table in front of her with her hands behind her head. Sama sat next to her, holding a large soda and sipping it through a straw. The two were clearly in a good mood since both seemed relaxed despite the fact the television was turned off, there was no manga in the room and no music playing.
“Man, it's good to be home.” Kimi sighed happily. “Rooming with the Flan-I was fun for a day or two, but... blah.”
“Well, there was that day when we had our own law office. That was pretty cool.” Sama replied, reminiscing about the recent events.
Kimi shrugged. “Aside from the evil gnome turning ME into the sidekick. That was just plain wrong.”
“I dunno Kimi, things worked out well. Maybe we should try trading places every now and then?”
“Say that again and I'll kick your a--”
“SO, are you two settled in yet?”
The threat was interrupted by the sound of the television turning on. On the screen was none other than Teh City's Mayor and the highest ranked Flan-I alive; Spoony. He leaned back in his leather swivel chair and even he looked relaxed – which was odd, since he had been in an almost constant bad mood since the K-Tower burnt down.
“Yeah, everything is great boss! I mean, it wasn't easy, but thanks to Internet shopping and the Flea Market we were able to replace everything we lost in the fire.” Sama grinned happily, as if he didn't have a care in the world. Kimi, however, was smart enough to keep her mouth shut.
For good reason. Spoony's face turned from relaxed and happy to a stern glare. His eyes were twisted and dark and he looked downright mean. For a moment, the full wrath of the Great Spoon was visible upon his visage. Sama gulped and turned as white as a sheet, sinking down on the couch and cowering. Even Kimi flinched, the ultimate testament to how truly scary Spoony's glare was.
“Listen up you two! Do you have ANY idea how much we had to spend to rebuild the Tower?” Spoony demanded.
“A lot?” Sama suggested. Kimi jammed him in the ribs with her elbow.
Spoony's eye twitched with annoyance, and he said through gritted teeth: “The only reason you two still have jobs is because, well... you did save all of existence and the very fabric of space, time and reality.”
“Several times.” Kimi corrected him, crossing her arms. Spoony opened his mouth to speak, but quickly shook his head and decided to just let her have that small victory.
“Just remember that I'm taking a LOT of heat for all the damage caused during your fights with evil, and for all the money spent to repair Teh City every few weeks.” Spoony sighed, leaning back in his chair as far as he could and putting a hand on his head. “Seriously, you two have to be more careful from now on, okay?”
“Sure, sure.” Kimi nodded. She paused, and then she asked: “But... how much could we have really cost Teh City in damages? I mean, it can't be TOO much...”
Spoony frowned, grabbed a paper from the table and slammed it on the screen. Kimi whistled and Sama's jaw dropped.
“That's a lot of zeros.” Sama gasped, stammering.
“Forget I said anything.” Kimi whispered, adverting her eyes from the bill.
Spoony opened his mouth to say something, but as he tried to speak there was a loud screeching sound that blazed through the tower. A scarlet light flashed through every corner of the room, bathing them all in crimson. It was the alarm and that meant trouble.
“BE CAREFUL!” Spoony yelled at the top of his lungs as Kimi jumped from the couch and flew out the window, heading for the bay where a giant shadow was lurking behind the skyline of some buildings. Sama followed behind on foot, jumping to the nearest rooftop and then to another as he tried to keep up with her.
Kimi floated next to a shipping warehouse, while Sama stood beside her on the roof. As they looked out at what had cast the giant shadow Kimi sighed and her sidekick shook his head. The good moods from earlier were gone.
“A giant...” Sama sighed.
“Robot...” Kimi groaned.
“Snake.” They shook their heads as they watched the giant robotic snake crawl across the ground.
“What kind of lame villain would attack in a giant robot snake?” Kimi asked, quirking an eyebrow.
“Lame? You're just jealous!” The Robot Snake's head lifted up and spoke in the voice of Darth Rowen, second-in-command of LASOOF and one of the duo's most dangerous foes. While his win record was far from perfect, Rowen was known as an incredibly vicious and skilled fighter.
“Oh good, it's Coojie.” Kimi yawned, leaning on Sama's head with her elbow.
“What's with the giant robot snake, ninja boy?” Sama asked as he quirked an eyebrow.
The robot snake's eyes narrowed, and inside it's head the eyes of Rowen did the same thing. “Look, I haven't learned to summon snakes yet, okay? Had to go with the giant robot thing. You're still going to die, so what do you care?”
Kimi didn't seem worried at all. “I don't want to get Spoony angry again, so here's the plan: I'll grab the tail, spin the snake around and toss Rowen into the bay.”
“Right! What about me?” Sama asked.
“You sit here and be quiet.” Kimi replied matter-of-factly.
“Yeah, that's probably for the best.” Sama nodded.
Kimi flew up, cracking her knuckles as she did. She glared at Rowen's serpentine robot, ready to do exactly as she had forecast. She flew forward towards the snake's head, ready to crack it open and take Rowen back to the prison in hopes of getting one weekend of peace.
However, as she flew explosions rang out on the ground at either side of her and a split second later she felt a burning pain hit her back in two places. Kimi was knocked off course and spun out of control, smashing down on the pavement.
“Buh?” Kimi looked up to see a small, round spaceship flying through the sky. It had a pair of curved wings and was firing green lasers.
“You would not believe how easy it was to get this thing!” CHoW grinned as he swooped in low and then did a quick U-Turn into the sky. “All I had to do was put on a black shirt, show up at the Death Star and they handed me the keys. I bet that other guy is going to be pretty P.O.ed, but why should I care?”
The super hero groaned and picked herself up off the ground. Her sidekick, still on the rooftop, was flabbergasted.
“Is that really how you got the TIE fighter?” Sama asked, wide-eyed.
CHoW sighed. “NO you idiot. It was a birthday gift.”
Kimi sighed as she floated over to Sama's side, her eyes locked on the TIE Fighter. Sama was watching the TIE in the sky too, and he was the first to speak.
“Well, since only one of us can fly, I'll handle the snake and you can have CHoW, okay?” Sama asked, hoping she would agree.
“Yeah, fine. Just don't let ninja boy wreck too much of Teh City!” Kimi reminded him. Then, without another word, she shot into the sky and straight at CHoW's TIE Fighter.
CHoW retaliated by firing a twin blast of green lasers; but Kimi responded with her own eye-beams. As the two sets of lasers collided in mid-air, there was a fierce explosion of light, color and sound that rocketed across the skies in the form of a shock wave. CHoW's TIE Fighter was thrown backwards while Kimi stumbled in mid-air.
Super Kimi was quicker to recover than her adversary and decided to take advantage of that. She flew towards the spinning TIE Fighter like a bullet; ready to plow right through it, causing the ship to explode and ruining another of CHoW's evil plans. Unfortunately, just as she was approaching the TIE, its sinister pilot regained control of his craft and CHoW fired the lasers once more. Unprepared, Kimi was struck in both shoulders and sent falling back to the ground, smashing into the pavement by a street lamp.
Meanwhile, Sama had engaged Rowen's giant robotic snake. He jumped quickly onto the snake's back and ran along the length of the robot until he reached the neck. Sliding his thumb on the trigger of his flansaber a beam of blue syrup switched on and the sidekick quickly slashed deep into the mechanical serpent's hide.
Then: “Aww, Potatoes.” Sama sweat dropped when he realized that the saber had no apparent affect on the robot; not so much as a scratch was left to prove he had attacked it.
“Yeah. Snake's made of Adamantium with a second layer of reinforced diamond armor. Even HA would be envious of this thing!”
Sitting in the living room of the Flan-I Temple, HA the Flantom was working on designs for his newest model “H-sAber” when he felt a cold chill run down his spine.
“I sense a great disturbance in the Flan. Either a planet has just been destroyed... or someone has a cooler toy than me. Oh, I really hope some planet just got blown up.” He muttered.
“HEY! That's not very nice you know!”
“Yeah, yeah, sorry pinky.”
Back on the snake's back, Sama was trying desperately to come up with another way of hurting the robot snake. He had just gotten an idea when Rowen got tired of waiting and flipped a switch inside the control room. The snake's tail flicked backwards and Sama was knocked clear off its back, flew down the street and slammed into a street light. He fell off the dented lamp post and crashed onto the ground, landing, of all placed, on Kimi's back.
“Ka bibble...”
“I'm starting to get annoyed with these two.” Kimi muttered as she tossed Sama out of the crater, cracked her knuckles, and flew back into the sky.
CHoW flew over her head, making sure to pass so close that the afterburners of his TIE Fighter washed a dangerous wave of heat over her. Kimi was tempted to unleash a Sonic Scream, which at this close distance would almost certainly destroy CHoW's TIE Fighter... but remembering Spoony's angry look from earlier she released her desire for the sound wave attack out of fear that it would ruin the nearby buildings.
When CHoW's craft turned back around Kimi spotted a blast of blue light. A compact ball of energy had been fired from between the laser turrets on the TIE Fighter – and it was heading right for her. Kimi could have dodged it... but it would have wiped out the skyscraper behind her so instead she whipped the bandanna off her head, rolled it up and snapped it right at the ball of energy.
Much to CHoW's confusion and dismay, the ball of energy was knocked right back at him! He hadn't expected it and had no time to maneuver his TIE away. The blast struck him head on and sent electrical sparks throughout the spaceship. Small explosions rang out and smoke began to billow from both sides. CHoW was spinning out of control all over the skies.
Kimi merely grinned, floating triumphantly as she beamed at her foe. When he finally managed to regain enough control of the TIE Fighter to bring it on level with Kimi, CHoW was furious. He banged on the dashboard and yelled out.
“SINCE when could your bandanna REFLECT ATTACKS!?” CHoW roared so loudly he spit. Unfortunately, he wears a helmet. “Ewuck...”
Kimi yawned. “When we got the new costumes, I got a new bandanna. This one's made of a magical silk from a mystical silkworm; it has reflective powers. Isn't that cool?” She grinned sarcastically.
“That... You... But... NOBODY EVER EXPLAINED WHERE THE NEW COSTUMES CAME FROM!” CHoW roared in anger.
The superhero shrugged. “Sure we did. Lost Episode.”
CHoW felt his eye twitch. “Lost Episode? I don't remember any Lost Episode...”
“Duh. If you remembered it, it wouldn't be lost episode, now would it?” Kimi stuck her tongue out at her foe and CHoW uttered something that was a half-sob, half-scream of anger.
[...]
As Kimi broke CHoW's hopes, his spaceship and the fourth wall all in one fell swoop her sidekick was left to deal with Rowen and his giant robot serpent. Now knowing he couldn't use his flansabers, Sama knew he had only one other means of attack.
“Alright! Time to get serious!” Sama announced, holding up his hand and sending a wave of emerald lightning from his fingertips towards the robot's head. The lightning flew swift as an arrow... and abruptly turned towards the snake's tail. There was a antenna sticking from out of the snake's tail, drawing in the lightning.
Rowen snickered. “Lightning rod. That way, any of that Flan-I stuff you do will only damage the tip of this snake's tail. Heheh... do you know what that makes the tail?”
When Sama realized what Rowen was hinting at, he narrowed his eyes and clenched his fist so tightly his knuckles turned white and his palms started to bleed.
“Distraction Tail! That's it Wenny-boy, you just made this personal!” Sama roared and shook his fist in anger.
Rowen's eye twitched and he looked like he might bite his lip open. “PERSONAL? You just called... GRAAAAAAH! I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!”
While they were both angry, Rowen had a giant robot snake that was impervious to all of Sama's attacks. It was only when Sama realized this that he sweat dropped, understanding that he was in way over his head.
The robotic snake lurched back, rearing it's head up like a cobra about to strike. Sama yelped and started to run, but the snake was undeniably speedy. In the blink of an eye the snake sprang forward, its metallic jaws open and tried to grab Sama in its mouth. The sidekick had to dive wildly into a small side alley on the street to avoid being crushed. The snake's head smashed against the buildings on either side of the alley and caused a lot of damage.
[...]
The snake reared back up and as it did, CHoW's TIE Fighter flew close to its head. CHoW looked down to a TV on the side of his control panel which gave him a live video feed with Rowen.
“I think it's about time we unleash the full power of our new toys!” CHoW grinned.
“Really?” Rowen blinked. “Well, if you say so...”
“Activate Mighty-Morphing-Optimus-Gundam-Super-Secret-Transformation mode!” CHoW laughed.
Rowen sighed. “When we name stuff like that, we're just asking for Kimi to point and laugh at us.”
From her spot in the air, Kimi did not point and laugh. Instead she groaned. “Please don't tell me...”
The TIE Fighter flew up into the air and compartments began to slide all over its hull. The TIE was changing shape... though not by much. The wings folded off to the side and the ship itself twisted until it looked like a robotic head; using the laser cannons for eyes.
Rowen's mechanical snake shot into the air and began to break apart into sections. Those sections quickly formed arms and legs that attached to the snake head; which itself had taken on the shape of a torso. The TIE head floated down and connected to the body. In the snake's head torso, a latch opened in the ceiling and CHoW's chair floated down to sit next to Rowen's. The two peered out from the snake's eye-windows and laughed like fiends.
“We call it... ChoWundam!” CHoW grinned.
“Rowenzord.” The ninja corrected him, which earned him an angry glance.
“How about we call it the LASOOF Megas?” CHoW suggested, deciding to fight with the super hero instead of his fellow villain.
“Well, I call it the most ridiculously lame evil plan you two have come up with yet.” Kimi sighed.
“I dunno... giant robots are pretty cool.” Sama, rushing to her side, had to admit.
Kimi shook her head from side to side. “I'd rather die than admit those two came up with something cool.”
Grinning, Rowen replied: “We can arrange that.”
The LASOOF Megas reached down to its side and picked up a large metal device. Sama gulped as he recognized the shape to be that of a Flansaber. As soon as the red beam of flan was clicked on into life, it was a daunting sight. A Flansaber one hundred times larger than the one's the ordinary Flan-I carried was not something either of our heroes had ever hoped to fight.
“Remember that promise we made to Spoony? The one where we said we'd make sure Teh City wasn't wrecked in this fight?” Kimi asked, her eyes staring at their new robotic foe.
“Yeah...” Sama gulped, watching the same thing.
“There's no way we're going to be able to keep it, is there?” Kimi's questions continued, and they filled her sidekick with worry.
“I... I don't think so.” Sama admitted.
“In that case, there's only one thing we can do.” Kimi spoke in a low tone, her voice full of anguish and unease.
“What's that?” Her sidekick asked.
“Blame it all on you.” Kimi replied with a wink and a grin; though Sama knew better than to think she was joking.
“I was afraid you'd say that.” Sama rubbed his neck. “Ah, well... not like it'd be the first time.”
LASOOF Megas was tapping his foot in annoyance. The vibration was so bad it caused a nearby car to jump up and down in the air, and it made the windows of the closest buildings shatter.
“If you two are done chatting, can we get back to the part where you finally die at our hands?” CHoW asked in a sickly-sweet voice.
Kimi and Sama exchanged glances and then shrugged to one another. CHoW and Rowen took that as a sign that their enemies were ready to embrace their ultimate demise. LASOOF Megas swung the giant flansaber right down at the heroes. Sama yelled at the top of his lungs, but luckily Kimi had remembered to grab the scruff of his jacket as she flew narrowly out of the reach of the deadly saber.
From the safety of the skies, Kimi glanced back at the ground. She winced; the entire street had been dissolved away by the intense heat of the gigantic flansaber. Buildings, cars, fire hydrants... all destroyed! Spoony had threatened that too much destruction would be a very bad thing, and his threats had been so daunting that Kimi had taken them to heart.
Kimi narrowed her eyes and shot a beam of light at the snake's head. The light bounced off harmlessly without leaving a scratch. Rowen pressed a button and the snake's head opened and one of the teeth fired out – it was a missile. Kimi yelped and, with her free hand, she snapped her bandanna at the missile. The bandanna wrapped around the missile; Kimi swung around and hurled the missile right back at LASOOF Megas.
CHoW jumped out of his seat and held out his hands in front of him. As if some invisible force had just placed pressure on it, the missile spun around in mid-air and changed course. Rather than flying at LASOOF Megas, it flew right off to the side.
“NO WAY!” Kimi yelled, her jaw dropping. Sama whimpered. The reason? The missile flew right at the newly-rebuilt K-Tower, slammed through one of the windows and exploded. Flames quickly engulfed the tower and smoke billowed up into the sky.
“... I want to cry.” Kimi sighed.
CHoW was laughing so hard his seat leaned back. Rowen was bent over his control panel, pounding his fist and chuckling. In truth, CHoW had been rather depressed that someone else managed to destroy Kimi's precious Tower... now he had finally made up for that mistake.
[...]
“... We have to stop them! We CAN'T let them get away with this! Good thing I have a great plan!” Kimi decided.
“What plan?” Sama asked, looking up at the hero who held him by the neck of his jacket.
“We just have to throw something dangerous through the windows and in between CHoW and Rowen.” Kimi nodded.
“... and by something dangerous you meaaaaaAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!”
Sama was tossed like a baseball right at the snake's eye. He flicked his hand in front of him, shattering the glass before he could smash through it. He did not hit the glass, but he did slam into the wall behind CHoW and Rowen. He groaned and felt his nose start bleeding.
“Can you take him onto the roof and then push him off?” CHoW asked.
“Sounds fun.” Rowen grinned, grabbing Sama by the foot and unleashing the blue burst of Chaos Control.
Sama fell flat on his face on the head of the LASOOF Megas. He quickly rolled onto his side, and not a moment too soon. Rowen's flansaber cut across the robot's head where he had been laying, but it left no trace of damage. Sama jumped up to face Rowen – and what he saw made him shudder.
The flansaber Rowen had slashed with was not his own double-sided red one; but Sama's green saber. A glance down at his belt revealed that his sabers had been stolen. Rowen laughed, deactivated the saber and tossed them both in his hands. The ninja had taken the sabers during the Chaos Control warp.
“You sneaky little monkey.” Sama snapped.
“Think that's bad? Check this out.” Rowen grinned. His hands shimmered with sapphire light and the sabers vanished from his palms. Sama watched in horror as his flansabers reappeared – right above the waters in the bay. Naturally they dropped into the waves and sunk like stones.
“... Well, this could put a wrinkle in my plan.” Sama gulped, rubbing the back of his head and laughing nervously.
Rowen grinned broadly at him and held up his hand. There was a crack of electricity and a blue light began to build in his palm. Sama recognized the attack as Chidori, one of Rowen's most vicious and dangerous abilities.
However... Sama got an idea. He threw up both hands and fired several bolts of emerald lightning from his fingertips. Rather than yelp or try to dodge, Rowen's smile only grew. There was a flash of blue energy and the lightning Sama had shot was absorbed right into the Chidori's growing mass.
“With my Chaos Control, I've absorbed your energy into my Chidori.” As Rowen explained, the energy in his hand began to grow and change shape. Instead of a ball of lightning in his hand, the energy actually took on the form of a glove. A giant, green, claw-like glove made of electricity and chaos power.
Sama whimpered.
“Heheheh... unfortunately, I won't be able to just create these green claws whenever I want, since I need your powers as part of it; but with my power to manipulate time, I can keep this claw going on my hand until I hit a target – that would be you.” Rowen grinned like a fiend. “Did I mention, this has my own natural strength, YOUR strength and a bit of extra because of the chaos energy?”
“No... you didn't mention that at all.” Sama responded as if it had been a valid question instead of a threat.
Rowen just shook his head. “Okay... I'll just ignore how stupid that was and kill you now.”
Before he had a chance to respond, Rowen jumped forward and slashed at him. Sama was able to dodge, but Rowen slashed again and again. Narrowly, Sama avoided every attack. Ducking, dodging, twisting and turning away from Rowen's glowing green fingers as they slashed at him.
Sama hit his knees, rolled across the ground until he was behind Rowen and then quickly kicked at him. The kick hit the ninja and sent him flying forward; but Rowen landed on his free, non-glowing hand and pushed himself back into the air, coming down with his foot hitting Sama in the head.
Flying across the head of the robot, Sama slammed painfully into the ground. Rowen ran over and slashed his claw, but a quick roll to the side saved Sama from a painful fate. The sidekick jumped up and started on the offensive; punching and kicking at Rowen in rapid succession. Not used to Sama fighting back with his fists, Rowen was caught off guard and had to result to dodging and ducking to escape being pelted in the face with a punch.
Still, Rowen was trained in Hand-to-Hand Combat. Sama was not. Utilizing skills he had been taught long ago, the evil ninja stopped one of Sama's kicks, jabbed him painfully in the stomach (with his free hand) and then threw him to the ground. The sidekick groaned and looked up, expecting to see another punch coming his way. Instead he saw something that frightened him even more.
Rowen's free hand wasn't free anymore. His double-sided flansaber was now held firmly in his grasp. While only one blade was active, it was still enough to slice Sama down the middle. Climbing back to his feet, Sama took a large gulp and went back to playing defense. With both a saber and a electric claw slashing at him one after the other, it was all he could do just to avoid being killed.
[...]
While the sidekick and evil accomplice were dueling on the head of the LASOOF Megas, Kimi and CHoW had been up to their own battle. The two former-friends had seen their share of fights since Kimi's debut as a superhero, and CHoW's rise as her number one (or at least, most frequent) foe. This time, however, CHoW had unfairly stacked the deck.
“You're going down Kimi! For good, this time!” CHoW roared as he maneuvered the LASOOF Megas to kick at the hero. Kimi easily avoided the giant metal foot, but in doing so the kick aimed for her crashed into a large radio tower which quickly crumpled beneath the weight and broke apart.
Kimi yelled in frustration. Teh City was being torn apart in the fight, which was exactly what Spoony had demanded they not let happen. CHoW wasted no time in slashing his flansaber right at her. Kimi spun around, dodging it easily and firing bright lasers from her eyes at the LASOOF Megas.
The lasers did nothing against the almost-indestructible outer shell of the transformer. The giant crimson flansaber ripped apart the street, and somewhere in the distance a Spoon began to cry. Kimi shot forward and started throwing punches and kicks at the robot's wrist, hoping to break the Megas' hand right off. Even her super-human strength could not harm the robot, however.
The LASOOF Megas' free arm shot to the side, smashing into Kimi and sending her flying through the air like a bug who was just swatted. Although she was knocked back, Kimi would not give up. She looked around for a second and as her eyes glanced in the direction of the bay, an idea struck her. With a grin, she turned and fled towards the waves.
CHoW wanted so badly to laugh and proclaim victory; unfortunately he knew Kimi well enough to know she would not just give up. Narrowing his eyes, CHoW wondered what she could be up too. Hitting a few switches, the LASOOF Megas started running forward with its free hand open. Kimi swerved to the side, but before she could escape the giant metal fingers closed around her.
CHoW grinned and started shaking his hand, rattling Kimi around the closed fist. Finally the Megas spun around and threw Kimi like a baseball right across Teh City. She smashed right through several large buildings, creating enormous holes right through many of Teh City's biggest skyscrapers.
Kimi had flown a long way and finally come to a stop after crashing into the charred and burning remains of her own K-Tower. Pushing a smoldering wall off her, Kimi clenched her fists. CHoW had tried a lot of evil plans in the past, but never had he been this effective. Not since the first time Kimi had faced off against her former friend since his fall from good had he been this dangerous.
She could see the LASOOF Megas coming towards her. Many different ideas flashed through her mind, but none of them sounded like they could work. Her ice sneeze couldn't freeze something so big, and her strength had not even left a dent in the robot's hide. She considered flying through the window and punching out CHoW himself; but he had already beaten her in speed already in this fight, and she didn't want to risk being tossed around like a baseball again.
Then, as she glared at the robot, she noticed something interesting. A smirk crossed her lips and she shot off like a rocket right at the robot's legs. At the last second before she would have been close enough to be grabbed by the Megas' hand, Kimi dove to the side, circled around the back and flew up to the transformer's head.
As she reached the top, she saw her sidekick fall flat on his back; Rowen standing above him with a glowing hand raised. She did not know if her plan would work, but it was the best – and perhaps, only – chance the heroes had.
“Before I kill you, I'll give you a chance to apologize for all the times you've called me anything but 'Darth Rowen, Master of Pain, Destruction and Coolness.'” Rowen said to Sama, enjoying the fact that he'd worn down and beaten the sidekick. Now all he had to do was strike him with a glowing hand and it would be the end of his annoying rival.
Sama looked up with a hopeless expression in his eyes... that look changed into a smirk. The second it did, Rowen realized something was wrong – but before he got a chance he felt a foot slam into the back of his head and he fell forward. Kimi's kick had been swift and Rowen had almost fallen right off the Megas' head – luckily he managed to grab onto the side of the robot with both hands.
A second later, he sighed: “That might not have been a good idea...”
Kimi grabbed her sidekick by the arm and flew away from the Megas very quickly. As our heroes escaped, a bright green flash illuminated the skies. Turning around, Kimi saw the LASOOF Megas blazing with emerald electricity. The arms of the robot flew up like a person in pain, and inside CHoW was howling. Partially from the shock that coursed through him, and also in part because of his disappointment at having failed to destroy Kimi and Sama – again.
When the electrical maelstrom finally finished, CHoW was surprised to find the Megas still standing strong. He began to laugh in triumph – until he heard a loud crack. Glancing up, he noticed that the same hand Kimi had barraged with punches and kicks earlier had just broken above the Megas' head. Unfortunately, that hand still held the giant flansaber.
As the giant crimson blade sliced through the side of the Megas, CHoW let his head fall onto the control panel. He banged his fists a few times and muttered about how unfair it was that he had to lose again – and on his birthday, no less.
Seconds later, there was a sizable explosion. Flames erupted from the robot (and quickly spread throughout the nearby buildings). The charred remains of metal and machine crashed into the bay. As the smoke settled and the dust cleared, CHoW and Rowen wound up floating down the bay on a large piece of smoking rubble.
“...My bad.” Rowen sweat dropped, rubbing his neck.
“At least somehow we survived. You'd think a high-voltage of electricity followed by a explosion big enough to level small cities would be enough to kill us.” CHoW reflected.
Rowen paused, a unsure look on his face. Despite his hesitance, he had to say it. “... This still counts as a win for me, since it was my attack that destroyed ... okay I'll shut up now.”
CHoW was glaring at him so intently it looked as if his helmet may explode.
Two chairs were sat in front of Spoony's desk, and occupying those chairs were Kimi and Sama. The crime fighting duo had been called before their boss before, but today things were different. There was not even a trace of a smile on Spoony's face or any vibe of friendliness in the room. Instead, Spoony was tapping his fingers on the desk and a vein in his forehead was bulging.
“... You look upset.” Sama broke the silence. Kimi elbowed him in the ribs so hard he grunted and fell out of his chair.
“Upset? Upset... UPSET!? Oh no, why would I be upset? Because you caused millions of dollars in damage? Because you wrecked a large part of Teh City in the fight? Because I haven't had a day off in weeks because I've been so busy cleaning up all the messes made in your adventures? BECAUSE WE HAVE TO REBUILD THE TOWER, AGAIN!?” Spoony was having a hard time keeping his cool.
“... You say because a lot.” Sama pointed out. Kimi smacked him on the back of the head, knocking him back onto the floor.
Spoony sighed and rubbed his forehead. “Look... I'm just on edge. I mean, with all this random destruction and costly expense, I just know that something bad is going to happen.”
As if on cue, the door opened and Flan Guardian and long time Spoon-Friend Joha rushed inside. She looked nervous, an uneasy expression plastered on her face. It was clear that something was wrong. Sama was quick to guess.
"You're mad 'cause the tower blew up with you inside... again... right?" Sama asked. Kimi looked like she had to restrain from killing him, instead offering a glare that eclipsed even Spoony's.
Joha had her own scary glare as a response. "I am, but that's not why I'm here." Her expression softened as she looked over at the Spoon. "Uh... I, um... might have made things worse."
Spoony quirked an eyebrow. "How so?"
"Well..." Joha rubbed the back of her neck, and when Kimi noticed the sweat she groaned. That could not be good. "You see... I was on my way over here, talking to a friend on the phone... and I mentioned what happened... and he started talking about how, if you'd done a better job keeping those two in line, this wouldn't have happened."
Spoony groaned. He could almost hear the next sentence before Joha even spoke.
"So... he said he was, well, going to... run against you, in the next election. Which by chance is only days away, and by further coincidence happens to be on your birthday." Joha explained not only the problem, but made it pretty apparent this storyline won't be wrapping up in this episode. Deal with it. [/fourthwallbreaking]
Although the answer was already known to everyone in the room, Spoony still had to ask. He had to be sure that things were as bad as he thought they were.
"Which friend...?" Spoony gulped, fearing the one name he knew was coming.
"Roy..." Joha whispered.
"I'm toast." Spoony's head fell against his desk.
"I thought you were a Spoon -- OWW!" This time, Kimi had hit him in the arm, Joha had cracked him over the head with her chopstick, and Spoony's glare had threatened to catch Sama on fire.
"Do you two realize what this means? Everyone in Teh City is mad at the two of you because of the destruction... and everyone is mad at me because you two work for me! We all know Mustang craves attention and covets power... he's going to use every trick in the book to take my job!" Spoony looked like he may scream, cry or do both.
"Come on!" Kimi stood up, a heroic presence about her. "Do you really think the people of Teh City would turn their backs on you? Do you honestly think there's anything Mustang could promise that would change even one person's mind about wanting you as our leader?"
"If I win, I'll deliver my acceptance speech shirtless." As if the final nail in the coffin, Mustang stepped into the room and delivered those words.
Joha made a whimpering noise. Spoony let his head fall on the desk again.
"... I really hate dramatic irony sometimes." Kimi crossed her arms and sat back down, scowling.
"You'll hate this even more," Mustang smirked. "If I win, you two are fired."
Sama shrugged. "Well... it wouldn't be the first time."
Mustang laughed, leaned in between the two sitting heroes, and grinned. "Fired has a whole new meaning when I say it."
"Aww, Potatoes."
"HOW DID WE LOSE!?" CHoW was furious.
The villainous duo was having about as much luck as their heroic counterparts. Rowen was sitting at the large table in the kitchen/meeting room of LASOOF HQ, drinking a frosty beverage and listening to CHoW rant, pace and rave about how they'd lost again and how he was sick of it.
"I'm so mad I could, I could... chop some random henchmen to pieces!" CHoW growled, and as he turned back around every able-bodied member of LASOOF had ran out of the room, with the exception of Rowen who knew that his friend wouldn't attack him... and that he was better with a saber.
"Look, relax, okay?" Rowen said as he leaned back. "Yes, we lost... but we still have birthday cake. It's chocolate -- we didn't get cake-flavored because we figured you'd be reminded of Kimi, and that would remind you of how we lost and... I'm not helping, am I?"
"How could you tell?"
"Well, you're shaking and your fists are clenched so tight your gloves are turning white... and I'm not even sure how that happens."
CHoW sighed and waved his hand. The remote flew across the room and into his grip. Rowen raised an eyebrow.
"Couldn't you just use that very same flan trick to turn on the TV? ... Again, not helping, sorry."
CHoW clenched his fist so tightly in anger that he broke the remote into pieces. Growling with frustration, he waved his hand again and the TV turned on. Then, instantly, he spun around to Rowen and shot him a 'don't-say-a-word' glare.
CHoW was in a bad mood. That was understandable. It was the first time in ages that he had been the main villain, and he'd even come so close to winning... only to lose in the end. It was enough to drive a already tomato-sauce-induced-insane guy crazy.
"... In other news, Colonel Roy Mustang announced today that he will be challenging Spoony in the upcoming election. It marks the first time someone has ever challenged Spoony in the election. Some analyst indicate that Mustang could win, given his experience, the current anger towards Super Kimi and Wonder Sama, and the fact that he's promised to go shirtless at the victory party. We wanted to have a spoof of some famous television news people, but to avoid being political we're instead going to show you the famous cartoon scene where Bugs and Daffy argue over Rabbit or Duck season."
CHoW turned on the television with another wave of his hand. Rowen crossed his arms.
"Aww, I like that one..." Rowen sighed.
"Forget the cartoons, did you hear that!? Spoony's going to be out of a job! BECAUSE OF US! We lost... but we still won!"
"How do you figure?" Rowen raised an eyebrow.
CHoW was so excited he was jumping up and down. "Don't you SEE? Mustang is a military guy! If he wins, he'll put the military in charge of protecting Teh City... and that means no more Kimi and Sama!"
Rowen's jaw dropped for a few seconds; and then he grinned like a fiend. "No more Kimi and Sama means... we'll dominate! We'll have this city taken over in hours!"
CHoW laughed and clapped his hands. "And it's all thanks to us! We did it! We finally did it! ... Maybe not how I'd always imagined our victory to go, what with the exploding and the pain, BUT WE DID IT!"
"Aye, ya did." A small shadow appeared in the room, and as the two celebrating villains looked over, they saw a small gnome hobble in.
"YOU!" CHoW glared.
"Aye, it is me. The Birthday Gnome." He said with a grin.
The helmeted villain gulped. "You're going to do that universe bending thing to me now, aren't you?" CHoW sighed.
"No, no, lad. I already helped you... who do you think left you the TIE Fighter and the Giant Snake?" The Gnome grinned.
CHoW's jaw dropped this time, as evident from the metallic conk. "That was YOU? We just got an unmarked box... wait, you HELPED us? I thought you hated all humanity?"
The Gnome shrugged. "I do. But that Phazon weakened me when he beat me.... I've lost most of my powers. The one thing I could do was create those robots for your birthday."
"That explains why we aren't all in some Metroid or Tenchi parody right now, but not why you're helping us." Rowen pointed out.
"It's those two... Kimi and Sama! I hate them! They helped Phazon... they ruined my chances at immortality! Besides; the guy who healed me told me to destroy them." The Gnome explained.
"Guy who healed you?" CHoW crossed his arms. "Who?"
"Don't know... he was just your typical cloaked, hooded, mysterious guy who I'm sure we'll all meet eventually, and who might even be the main villain of the next story arc." The Gnome can explain, and he can also foreshadow.
"Greeeeeeat, another one of those." CHoW sighed. "Well.... if we win in the meantime, I'll look past it."
"Me too." Rowen nodded.
"Excellent! Then let's get going -- we have a lot to do!" The Gnome smirked.
"But... your powers only work on birthdays, and mine is almost over." CHoW pointed out.
"True, true... but Rowen here is due to have one soon... and before him, another will become older... and when he does, we'll strike! After all... our entire evil plan hinges on Mustang winning this election... which happens to fall on Spoony's birthday." The Gnome laughed, showing his sharp little teeth and crazy eyes.
CHoW and Rowen glanced at each other and grinned. "I don't believe it, but..." CHoW started.
"We're actually winning." Rowen declared.
Bum bum bum!
Dramatic, no? :p
I will continue this arc with Spoony's birthday, then Rowen's, and then Joha's. As you can tell, they all run together, and also fit in with Phazon's gift. :)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY RUSH! You're awesome. Sorry this is so late.
Oh, and C_R posted a new SK&WS Picture in the Art Thread. Since posting this will make it less likely that most people will notice the art thread update, I'm telling you here. :) It's a good one.
The Birthday Gnome's Revenge
Part I
Happy Birthday Rush!
<Sama Says> Oi! Late birthday gift? Yeeeeeeah. Really late. XD SORRY RUSH. I've been sick/busy/uninspired. However, I think you will enjoy this. :D
For continuity purposes, this takes place BEFORE Return of the King, which is the awesome new story by AGOI & Cojo that you need to read right now if you haven't done so.
With the reconstruction of the K Tower finally complete, we find our heroes relaxing on their new and improved couch. Kimi had her feet up on the coffee table in front of her with her hands behind her head. Sama sat next to her, holding a large soda and sipping it through a straw. The two were clearly in a good mood since both seemed relaxed despite the fact the television was turned off, there was no manga in the room and no music playing.
“Man, it's good to be home.” Kimi sighed happily. “Rooming with the Flan-I was fun for a day or two, but... blah.”
“Well, there was that day when we had our own law office. That was pretty cool.” Sama replied, reminiscing about the recent events.
Kimi shrugged. “Aside from the evil gnome turning ME into the sidekick. That was just plain wrong.”
“I dunno Kimi, things worked out well. Maybe we should try trading places every now and then?”
“Say that again and I'll kick your a--”
“SO, are you two settled in yet?”
The threat was interrupted by the sound of the television turning on. On the screen was none other than Teh City's Mayor and the highest ranked Flan-I alive; Spoony. He leaned back in his leather swivel chair and even he looked relaxed – which was odd, since he had been in an almost constant bad mood since the K-Tower burnt down.
“Yeah, everything is great boss! I mean, it wasn't easy, but thanks to Internet shopping and the Flea Market we were able to replace everything we lost in the fire.” Sama grinned happily, as if he didn't have a care in the world. Kimi, however, was smart enough to keep her mouth shut.
For good reason. Spoony's face turned from relaxed and happy to a stern glare. His eyes were twisted and dark and he looked downright mean. For a moment, the full wrath of the Great Spoon was visible upon his visage. Sama gulped and turned as white as a sheet, sinking down on the couch and cowering. Even Kimi flinched, the ultimate testament to how truly scary Spoony's glare was.
“Listen up you two! Do you have ANY idea how much we had to spend to rebuild the Tower?” Spoony demanded.
“A lot?” Sama suggested. Kimi jammed him in the ribs with her elbow.
Spoony's eye twitched with annoyance, and he said through gritted teeth: “The only reason you two still have jobs is because, well... you did save all of existence and the very fabric of space, time and reality.”
“Several times.” Kimi corrected him, crossing her arms. Spoony opened his mouth to speak, but quickly shook his head and decided to just let her have that small victory.
“Just remember that I'm taking a LOT of heat for all the damage caused during your fights with evil, and for all the money spent to repair Teh City every few weeks.” Spoony sighed, leaning back in his chair as far as he could and putting a hand on his head. “Seriously, you two have to be more careful from now on, okay?”
“Sure, sure.” Kimi nodded. She paused, and then she asked: “But... how much could we have really cost Teh City in damages? I mean, it can't be TOO much...”
Spoony frowned, grabbed a paper from the table and slammed it on the screen. Kimi whistled and Sama's jaw dropped.
“That's a lot of zeros.” Sama gasped, stammering.
“Forget I said anything.” Kimi whispered, adverting her eyes from the bill.
Spoony opened his mouth to say something, but as he tried to speak there was a loud screeching sound that blazed through the tower. A scarlet light flashed through every corner of the room, bathing them all in crimson. It was the alarm and that meant trouble.
“BE CAREFUL!” Spoony yelled at the top of his lungs as Kimi jumped from the couch and flew out the window, heading for the bay where a giant shadow was lurking behind the skyline of some buildings. Sama followed behind on foot, jumping to the nearest rooftop and then to another as he tried to keep up with her.
Kimi floated next to a shipping warehouse, while Sama stood beside her on the roof. As they looked out at what had cast the giant shadow Kimi sighed and her sidekick shook his head. The good moods from earlier were gone.
“A giant...” Sama sighed.
“Robot...” Kimi groaned.
“Snake.” They shook their heads as they watched the giant robotic snake crawl across the ground.
“What kind of lame villain would attack in a giant robot snake?” Kimi asked, quirking an eyebrow.
“Lame? You're just jealous!” The Robot Snake's head lifted up and spoke in the voice of Darth Rowen, second-in-command of LASOOF and one of the duo's most dangerous foes. While his win record was far from perfect, Rowen was known as an incredibly vicious and skilled fighter.
“Oh good, it's Coojie.” Kimi yawned, leaning on Sama's head with her elbow.
“What's with the giant robot snake, ninja boy?” Sama asked as he quirked an eyebrow.
The robot snake's eyes narrowed, and inside it's head the eyes of Rowen did the same thing. “Look, I haven't learned to summon snakes yet, okay? Had to go with the giant robot thing. You're still going to die, so what do you care?”
Kimi didn't seem worried at all. “I don't want to get Spoony angry again, so here's the plan: I'll grab the tail, spin the snake around and toss Rowen into the bay.”
“Right! What about me?” Sama asked.
“You sit here and be quiet.” Kimi replied matter-of-factly.
“Yeah, that's probably for the best.” Sama nodded.
Kimi flew up, cracking her knuckles as she did. She glared at Rowen's serpentine robot, ready to do exactly as she had forecast. She flew forward towards the snake's head, ready to crack it open and take Rowen back to the prison in hopes of getting one weekend of peace.
However, as she flew explosions rang out on the ground at either side of her and a split second later she felt a burning pain hit her back in two places. Kimi was knocked off course and spun out of control, smashing down on the pavement.
“Buh?” Kimi looked up to see a small, round spaceship flying through the sky. It had a pair of curved wings and was firing green lasers.
“You would not believe how easy it was to get this thing!” CHoW grinned as he swooped in low and then did a quick U-Turn into the sky. “All I had to do was put on a black shirt, show up at the Death Star and they handed me the keys. I bet that other guy is going to be pretty P.O.ed, but why should I care?”
The super hero groaned and picked herself up off the ground. Her sidekick, still on the rooftop, was flabbergasted.
“Is that really how you got the TIE fighter?” Sama asked, wide-eyed.
CHoW sighed. “NO you idiot. It was a birthday gift.”
Kimi sighed as she floated over to Sama's side, her eyes locked on the TIE Fighter. Sama was watching the TIE in the sky too, and he was the first to speak.
“Well, since only one of us can fly, I'll handle the snake and you can have CHoW, okay?” Sama asked, hoping she would agree.
“Yeah, fine. Just don't let ninja boy wreck too much of Teh City!” Kimi reminded him. Then, without another word, she shot into the sky and straight at CHoW's TIE Fighter.
CHoW retaliated by firing a twin blast of green lasers; but Kimi responded with her own eye-beams. As the two sets of lasers collided in mid-air, there was a fierce explosion of light, color and sound that rocketed across the skies in the form of a shock wave. CHoW's TIE Fighter was thrown backwards while Kimi stumbled in mid-air.
Super Kimi was quicker to recover than her adversary and decided to take advantage of that. She flew towards the spinning TIE Fighter like a bullet; ready to plow right through it, causing the ship to explode and ruining another of CHoW's evil plans. Unfortunately, just as she was approaching the TIE, its sinister pilot regained control of his craft and CHoW fired the lasers once more. Unprepared, Kimi was struck in both shoulders and sent falling back to the ground, smashing into the pavement by a street lamp.
Meanwhile, Sama had engaged Rowen's giant robotic snake. He jumped quickly onto the snake's back and ran along the length of the robot until he reached the neck. Sliding his thumb on the trigger of his flansaber a beam of blue syrup switched on and the sidekick quickly slashed deep into the mechanical serpent's hide.
Then: “Aww, Potatoes.” Sama sweat dropped when he realized that the saber had no apparent affect on the robot; not so much as a scratch was left to prove he had attacked it.
“Yeah. Snake's made of Adamantium with a second layer of reinforced diamond armor. Even HA would be envious of this thing!”
Sitting in the living room of the Flan-I Temple, HA the Flantom was working on designs for his newest model “H-sAber” when he felt a cold chill run down his spine.
“I sense a great disturbance in the Flan. Either a planet has just been destroyed... or someone has a cooler toy than me. Oh, I really hope some planet just got blown up.” He muttered.
“HEY! That's not very nice you know!”
“Yeah, yeah, sorry pinky.”
Back on the snake's back, Sama was trying desperately to come up with another way of hurting the robot snake. He had just gotten an idea when Rowen got tired of waiting and flipped a switch inside the control room. The snake's tail flicked backwards and Sama was knocked clear off its back, flew down the street and slammed into a street light. He fell off the dented lamp post and crashed onto the ground, landing, of all placed, on Kimi's back.
“Ka bibble...”
“I'm starting to get annoyed with these two.” Kimi muttered as she tossed Sama out of the crater, cracked her knuckles, and flew back into the sky.
CHoW flew over her head, making sure to pass so close that the afterburners of his TIE Fighter washed a dangerous wave of heat over her. Kimi was tempted to unleash a Sonic Scream, which at this close distance would almost certainly destroy CHoW's TIE Fighter... but remembering Spoony's angry look from earlier she released her desire for the sound wave attack out of fear that it would ruin the nearby buildings.
When CHoW's craft turned back around Kimi spotted a blast of blue light. A compact ball of energy had been fired from between the laser turrets on the TIE Fighter – and it was heading right for her. Kimi could have dodged it... but it would have wiped out the skyscraper behind her so instead she whipped the bandanna off her head, rolled it up and snapped it right at the ball of energy.
Much to CHoW's confusion and dismay, the ball of energy was knocked right back at him! He hadn't expected it and had no time to maneuver his TIE away. The blast struck him head on and sent electrical sparks throughout the spaceship. Small explosions rang out and smoke began to billow from both sides. CHoW was spinning out of control all over the skies.
Kimi merely grinned, floating triumphantly as she beamed at her foe. When he finally managed to regain enough control of the TIE Fighter to bring it on level with Kimi, CHoW was furious. He banged on the dashboard and yelled out.
“SINCE when could your bandanna REFLECT ATTACKS!?” CHoW roared so loudly he spit. Unfortunately, he wears a helmet. “Ewuck...”
Kimi yawned. “When we got the new costumes, I got a new bandanna. This one's made of a magical silk from a mystical silkworm; it has reflective powers. Isn't that cool?” She grinned sarcastically.
“That... You... But... NOBODY EVER EXPLAINED WHERE THE NEW COSTUMES CAME FROM!” CHoW roared in anger.
The superhero shrugged. “Sure we did. Lost Episode.”
CHoW felt his eye twitch. “Lost Episode? I don't remember any Lost Episode...”
“Duh. If you remembered it, it wouldn't be lost episode, now would it?” Kimi stuck her tongue out at her foe and CHoW uttered something that was a half-sob, half-scream of anger.
[...]
As Kimi broke CHoW's hopes, his spaceship and the fourth wall all in one fell swoop her sidekick was left to deal with Rowen and his giant robot serpent. Now knowing he couldn't use his flansabers, Sama knew he had only one other means of attack.
“Alright! Time to get serious!” Sama announced, holding up his hand and sending a wave of emerald lightning from his fingertips towards the robot's head. The lightning flew swift as an arrow... and abruptly turned towards the snake's tail. There was a antenna sticking from out of the snake's tail, drawing in the lightning.
Rowen snickered. “Lightning rod. That way, any of that Flan-I stuff you do will only damage the tip of this snake's tail. Heheh... do you know what that makes the tail?”
When Sama realized what Rowen was hinting at, he narrowed his eyes and clenched his fist so tightly his knuckles turned white and his palms started to bleed.
“Distraction Tail! That's it Wenny-boy, you just made this personal!” Sama roared and shook his fist in anger.
Rowen's eye twitched and he looked like he might bite his lip open. “PERSONAL? You just called... GRAAAAAAH! I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!”
While they were both angry, Rowen had a giant robot snake that was impervious to all of Sama's attacks. It was only when Sama realized this that he sweat dropped, understanding that he was in way over his head.
The robotic snake lurched back, rearing it's head up like a cobra about to strike. Sama yelped and started to run, but the snake was undeniably speedy. In the blink of an eye the snake sprang forward, its metallic jaws open and tried to grab Sama in its mouth. The sidekick had to dive wildly into a small side alley on the street to avoid being crushed. The snake's head smashed against the buildings on either side of the alley and caused a lot of damage.
[...]
The snake reared back up and as it did, CHoW's TIE Fighter flew close to its head. CHoW looked down to a TV on the side of his control panel which gave him a live video feed with Rowen.
“I think it's about time we unleash the full power of our new toys!” CHoW grinned.
“Really?” Rowen blinked. “Well, if you say so...”
“Activate Mighty-Morphing-Optimus-Gundam-Super-Secret-Transformation mode!” CHoW laughed.
Rowen sighed. “When we name stuff like that, we're just asking for Kimi to point and laugh at us.”
From her spot in the air, Kimi did not point and laugh. Instead she groaned. “Please don't tell me...”
The TIE Fighter flew up into the air and compartments began to slide all over its hull. The TIE was changing shape... though not by much. The wings folded off to the side and the ship itself twisted until it looked like a robotic head; using the laser cannons for eyes.
Rowen's mechanical snake shot into the air and began to break apart into sections. Those sections quickly formed arms and legs that attached to the snake head; which itself had taken on the shape of a torso. The TIE head floated down and connected to the body. In the snake's head torso, a latch opened in the ceiling and CHoW's chair floated down to sit next to Rowen's. The two peered out from the snake's eye-windows and laughed like fiends.
“We call it... ChoWundam!” CHoW grinned.
“Rowenzord.” The ninja corrected him, which earned him an angry glance.
“How about we call it the LASOOF Megas?” CHoW suggested, deciding to fight with the super hero instead of his fellow villain.
“Well, I call it the most ridiculously lame evil plan you two have come up with yet.” Kimi sighed.
“I dunno... giant robots are pretty cool.” Sama, rushing to her side, had to admit.
Kimi shook her head from side to side. “I'd rather die than admit those two came up with something cool.”
Grinning, Rowen replied: “We can arrange that.”
The LASOOF Megas reached down to its side and picked up a large metal device. Sama gulped as he recognized the shape to be that of a Flansaber. As soon as the red beam of flan was clicked on into life, it was a daunting sight. A Flansaber one hundred times larger than the one's the ordinary Flan-I carried was not something either of our heroes had ever hoped to fight.
“Remember that promise we made to Spoony? The one where we said we'd make sure Teh City wasn't wrecked in this fight?” Kimi asked, her eyes staring at their new robotic foe.
“Yeah...” Sama gulped, watching the same thing.
“There's no way we're going to be able to keep it, is there?” Kimi's questions continued, and they filled her sidekick with worry.
“I... I don't think so.” Sama admitted.
“In that case, there's only one thing we can do.” Kimi spoke in a low tone, her voice full of anguish and unease.
“What's that?” Her sidekick asked.
“Blame it all on you.” Kimi replied with a wink and a grin; though Sama knew better than to think she was joking.
“I was afraid you'd say that.” Sama rubbed his neck. “Ah, well... not like it'd be the first time.”
LASOOF Megas was tapping his foot in annoyance. The vibration was so bad it caused a nearby car to jump up and down in the air, and it made the windows of the closest buildings shatter.
“If you two are done chatting, can we get back to the part where you finally die at our hands?” CHoW asked in a sickly-sweet voice.
Kimi and Sama exchanged glances and then shrugged to one another. CHoW and Rowen took that as a sign that their enemies were ready to embrace their ultimate demise. LASOOF Megas swung the giant flansaber right down at the heroes. Sama yelled at the top of his lungs, but luckily Kimi had remembered to grab the scruff of his jacket as she flew narrowly out of the reach of the deadly saber.
From the safety of the skies, Kimi glanced back at the ground. She winced; the entire street had been dissolved away by the intense heat of the gigantic flansaber. Buildings, cars, fire hydrants... all destroyed! Spoony had threatened that too much destruction would be a very bad thing, and his threats had been so daunting that Kimi had taken them to heart.
Kimi narrowed her eyes and shot a beam of light at the snake's head. The light bounced off harmlessly without leaving a scratch. Rowen pressed a button and the snake's head opened and one of the teeth fired out – it was a missile. Kimi yelped and, with her free hand, she snapped her bandanna at the missile. The bandanna wrapped around the missile; Kimi swung around and hurled the missile right back at LASOOF Megas.
CHoW jumped out of his seat and held out his hands in front of him. As if some invisible force had just placed pressure on it, the missile spun around in mid-air and changed course. Rather than flying at LASOOF Megas, it flew right off to the side.
“NO WAY!” Kimi yelled, her jaw dropping. Sama whimpered. The reason? The missile flew right at the newly-rebuilt K-Tower, slammed through one of the windows and exploded. Flames quickly engulfed the tower and smoke billowed up into the sky.
“... I want to cry.” Kimi sighed.
CHoW was laughing so hard his seat leaned back. Rowen was bent over his control panel, pounding his fist and chuckling. In truth, CHoW had been rather depressed that someone else managed to destroy Kimi's precious Tower... now he had finally made up for that mistake.
[...]
“... We have to stop them! We CAN'T let them get away with this! Good thing I have a great plan!” Kimi decided.
“What plan?” Sama asked, looking up at the hero who held him by the neck of his jacket.
“We just have to throw something dangerous through the windows and in between CHoW and Rowen.” Kimi nodded.
“... and by something dangerous you meaaaaaAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!”
Sama was tossed like a baseball right at the snake's eye. He flicked his hand in front of him, shattering the glass before he could smash through it. He did not hit the glass, but he did slam into the wall behind CHoW and Rowen. He groaned and felt his nose start bleeding.
“Can you take him onto the roof and then push him off?” CHoW asked.
“Sounds fun.” Rowen grinned, grabbing Sama by the foot and unleashing the blue burst of Chaos Control.
Sama fell flat on his face on the head of the LASOOF Megas. He quickly rolled onto his side, and not a moment too soon. Rowen's flansaber cut across the robot's head where he had been laying, but it left no trace of damage. Sama jumped up to face Rowen – and what he saw made him shudder.
The flansaber Rowen had slashed with was not his own double-sided red one; but Sama's green saber. A glance down at his belt revealed that his sabers had been stolen. Rowen laughed, deactivated the saber and tossed them both in his hands. The ninja had taken the sabers during the Chaos Control warp.
“You sneaky little monkey.” Sama snapped.
“Think that's bad? Check this out.” Rowen grinned. His hands shimmered with sapphire light and the sabers vanished from his palms. Sama watched in horror as his flansabers reappeared – right above the waters in the bay. Naturally they dropped into the waves and sunk like stones.
“... Well, this could put a wrinkle in my plan.” Sama gulped, rubbing the back of his head and laughing nervously.
Rowen grinned broadly at him and held up his hand. There was a crack of electricity and a blue light began to build in his palm. Sama recognized the attack as Chidori, one of Rowen's most vicious and dangerous abilities.
However... Sama got an idea. He threw up both hands and fired several bolts of emerald lightning from his fingertips. Rather than yelp or try to dodge, Rowen's smile only grew. There was a flash of blue energy and the lightning Sama had shot was absorbed right into the Chidori's growing mass.
“With my Chaos Control, I've absorbed your energy into my Chidori.” As Rowen explained, the energy in his hand began to grow and change shape. Instead of a ball of lightning in his hand, the energy actually took on the form of a glove. A giant, green, claw-like glove made of electricity and chaos power.
Sama whimpered.
“Heheheh... unfortunately, I won't be able to just create these green claws whenever I want, since I need your powers as part of it; but with my power to manipulate time, I can keep this claw going on my hand until I hit a target – that would be you.” Rowen grinned like a fiend. “Did I mention, this has my own natural strength, YOUR strength and a bit of extra because of the chaos energy?”
“No... you didn't mention that at all.” Sama responded as if it had been a valid question instead of a threat.
Rowen just shook his head. “Okay... I'll just ignore how stupid that was and kill you now.”
Before he had a chance to respond, Rowen jumped forward and slashed at him. Sama was able to dodge, but Rowen slashed again and again. Narrowly, Sama avoided every attack. Ducking, dodging, twisting and turning away from Rowen's glowing green fingers as they slashed at him.
Sama hit his knees, rolled across the ground until he was behind Rowen and then quickly kicked at him. The kick hit the ninja and sent him flying forward; but Rowen landed on his free, non-glowing hand and pushed himself back into the air, coming down with his foot hitting Sama in the head.
Flying across the head of the robot, Sama slammed painfully into the ground. Rowen ran over and slashed his claw, but a quick roll to the side saved Sama from a painful fate. The sidekick jumped up and started on the offensive; punching and kicking at Rowen in rapid succession. Not used to Sama fighting back with his fists, Rowen was caught off guard and had to result to dodging and ducking to escape being pelted in the face with a punch.
Still, Rowen was trained in Hand-to-Hand Combat. Sama was not. Utilizing skills he had been taught long ago, the evil ninja stopped one of Sama's kicks, jabbed him painfully in the stomach (with his free hand) and then threw him to the ground. The sidekick groaned and looked up, expecting to see another punch coming his way. Instead he saw something that frightened him even more.
Rowen's free hand wasn't free anymore. His double-sided flansaber was now held firmly in his grasp. While only one blade was active, it was still enough to slice Sama down the middle. Climbing back to his feet, Sama took a large gulp and went back to playing defense. With both a saber and a electric claw slashing at him one after the other, it was all he could do just to avoid being killed.
[...]
While the sidekick and evil accomplice were dueling on the head of the LASOOF Megas, Kimi and CHoW had been up to their own battle. The two former-friends had seen their share of fights since Kimi's debut as a superhero, and CHoW's rise as her number one (or at least, most frequent) foe. This time, however, CHoW had unfairly stacked the deck.
“You're going down Kimi! For good, this time!” CHoW roared as he maneuvered the LASOOF Megas to kick at the hero. Kimi easily avoided the giant metal foot, but in doing so the kick aimed for her crashed into a large radio tower which quickly crumpled beneath the weight and broke apart.
Kimi yelled in frustration. Teh City was being torn apart in the fight, which was exactly what Spoony had demanded they not let happen. CHoW wasted no time in slashing his flansaber right at her. Kimi spun around, dodging it easily and firing bright lasers from her eyes at the LASOOF Megas.
The lasers did nothing against the almost-indestructible outer shell of the transformer. The giant crimson flansaber ripped apart the street, and somewhere in the distance a Spoon began to cry. Kimi shot forward and started throwing punches and kicks at the robot's wrist, hoping to break the Megas' hand right off. Even her super-human strength could not harm the robot, however.
The LASOOF Megas' free arm shot to the side, smashing into Kimi and sending her flying through the air like a bug who was just swatted. Although she was knocked back, Kimi would not give up. She looked around for a second and as her eyes glanced in the direction of the bay, an idea struck her. With a grin, she turned and fled towards the waves.
CHoW wanted so badly to laugh and proclaim victory; unfortunately he knew Kimi well enough to know she would not just give up. Narrowing his eyes, CHoW wondered what she could be up too. Hitting a few switches, the LASOOF Megas started running forward with its free hand open. Kimi swerved to the side, but before she could escape the giant metal fingers closed around her.
CHoW grinned and started shaking his hand, rattling Kimi around the closed fist. Finally the Megas spun around and threw Kimi like a baseball right across Teh City. She smashed right through several large buildings, creating enormous holes right through many of Teh City's biggest skyscrapers.
Kimi had flown a long way and finally come to a stop after crashing into the charred and burning remains of her own K-Tower. Pushing a smoldering wall off her, Kimi clenched her fists. CHoW had tried a lot of evil plans in the past, but never had he been this effective. Not since the first time Kimi had faced off against her former friend since his fall from good had he been this dangerous.
She could see the LASOOF Megas coming towards her. Many different ideas flashed through her mind, but none of them sounded like they could work. Her ice sneeze couldn't freeze something so big, and her strength had not even left a dent in the robot's hide. She considered flying through the window and punching out CHoW himself; but he had already beaten her in speed already in this fight, and she didn't want to risk being tossed around like a baseball again.
Then, as she glared at the robot, she noticed something interesting. A smirk crossed her lips and she shot off like a rocket right at the robot's legs. At the last second before she would have been close enough to be grabbed by the Megas' hand, Kimi dove to the side, circled around the back and flew up to the transformer's head.
As she reached the top, she saw her sidekick fall flat on his back; Rowen standing above him with a glowing hand raised. She did not know if her plan would work, but it was the best – and perhaps, only – chance the heroes had.
“Before I kill you, I'll give you a chance to apologize for all the times you've called me anything but 'Darth Rowen, Master of Pain, Destruction and Coolness.'” Rowen said to Sama, enjoying the fact that he'd worn down and beaten the sidekick. Now all he had to do was strike him with a glowing hand and it would be the end of his annoying rival.
Sama looked up with a hopeless expression in his eyes... that look changed into a smirk. The second it did, Rowen realized something was wrong – but before he got a chance he felt a foot slam into the back of his head and he fell forward. Kimi's kick had been swift and Rowen had almost fallen right off the Megas' head – luckily he managed to grab onto the side of the robot with both hands.
A second later, he sighed: “That might not have been a good idea...”
Kimi grabbed her sidekick by the arm and flew away from the Megas very quickly. As our heroes escaped, a bright green flash illuminated the skies. Turning around, Kimi saw the LASOOF Megas blazing with emerald electricity. The arms of the robot flew up like a person in pain, and inside CHoW was howling. Partially from the shock that coursed through him, and also in part because of his disappointment at having failed to destroy Kimi and Sama – again.
When the electrical maelstrom finally finished, CHoW was surprised to find the Megas still standing strong. He began to laugh in triumph – until he heard a loud crack. Glancing up, he noticed that the same hand Kimi had barraged with punches and kicks earlier had just broken above the Megas' head. Unfortunately, that hand still held the giant flansaber.
As the giant crimson blade sliced through the side of the Megas, CHoW let his head fall onto the control panel. He banged his fists a few times and muttered about how unfair it was that he had to lose again – and on his birthday, no less.
Seconds later, there was a sizable explosion. Flames erupted from the robot (and quickly spread throughout the nearby buildings). The charred remains of metal and machine crashed into the bay. As the smoke settled and the dust cleared, CHoW and Rowen wound up floating down the bay on a large piece of smoking rubble.
“...My bad.” Rowen sweat dropped, rubbing his neck.
“At least somehow we survived. You'd think a high-voltage of electricity followed by a explosion big enough to level small cities would be enough to kill us.” CHoW reflected.
Rowen paused, a unsure look on his face. Despite his hesitance, he had to say it. “... This still counts as a win for me, since it was my attack that destroyed ... okay I'll shut up now.”
CHoW was glaring at him so intently it looked as if his helmet may explode.
Two chairs were sat in front of Spoony's desk, and occupying those chairs were Kimi and Sama. The crime fighting duo had been called before their boss before, but today things were different. There was not even a trace of a smile on Spoony's face or any vibe of friendliness in the room. Instead, Spoony was tapping his fingers on the desk and a vein in his forehead was bulging.
“... You look upset.” Sama broke the silence. Kimi elbowed him in the ribs so hard he grunted and fell out of his chair.
“Upset? Upset... UPSET!? Oh no, why would I be upset? Because you caused millions of dollars in damage? Because you wrecked a large part of Teh City in the fight? Because I haven't had a day off in weeks because I've been so busy cleaning up all the messes made in your adventures? BECAUSE WE HAVE TO REBUILD THE TOWER, AGAIN!?” Spoony was having a hard time keeping his cool.
“... You say because a lot.” Sama pointed out. Kimi smacked him on the back of the head, knocking him back onto the floor.
Spoony sighed and rubbed his forehead. “Look... I'm just on edge. I mean, with all this random destruction and costly expense, I just know that something bad is going to happen.”
As if on cue, the door opened and Flan Guardian and long time Spoon-Friend Joha rushed inside. She looked nervous, an uneasy expression plastered on her face. It was clear that something was wrong. Sama was quick to guess.
"You're mad 'cause the tower blew up with you inside... again... right?" Sama asked. Kimi looked like she had to restrain from killing him, instead offering a glare that eclipsed even Spoony's.
Joha had her own scary glare as a response. "I am, but that's not why I'm here." Her expression softened as she looked over at the Spoon. "Uh... I, um... might have made things worse."
Spoony quirked an eyebrow. "How so?"
"Well..." Joha rubbed the back of her neck, and when Kimi noticed the sweat she groaned. That could not be good. "You see... I was on my way over here, talking to a friend on the phone... and I mentioned what happened... and he started talking about how, if you'd done a better job keeping those two in line, this wouldn't have happened."
Spoony groaned. He could almost hear the next sentence before Joha even spoke.
"So... he said he was, well, going to... run against you, in the next election. Which by chance is only days away, and by further coincidence happens to be on your birthday." Joha explained not only the problem, but made it pretty apparent this storyline won't be wrapping up in this episode. Deal with it. [/fourthwallbreaking]
Although the answer was already known to everyone in the room, Spoony still had to ask. He had to be sure that things were as bad as he thought they were.
"Which friend...?" Spoony gulped, fearing the one name he knew was coming.
"Roy..." Joha whispered.
"I'm toast." Spoony's head fell against his desk.
"I thought you were a Spoon -- OWW!" This time, Kimi had hit him in the arm, Joha had cracked him over the head with her chopstick, and Spoony's glare had threatened to catch Sama on fire.
"Do you two realize what this means? Everyone in Teh City is mad at the two of you because of the destruction... and everyone is mad at me because you two work for me! We all know Mustang craves attention and covets power... he's going to use every trick in the book to take my job!" Spoony looked like he may scream, cry or do both.
"Come on!" Kimi stood up, a heroic presence about her. "Do you really think the people of Teh City would turn their backs on you? Do you honestly think there's anything Mustang could promise that would change even one person's mind about wanting you as our leader?"
"If I win, I'll deliver my acceptance speech shirtless." As if the final nail in the coffin, Mustang stepped into the room and delivered those words.
Joha made a whimpering noise. Spoony let his head fall on the desk again.
"... I really hate dramatic irony sometimes." Kimi crossed her arms and sat back down, scowling.
"You'll hate this even more," Mustang smirked. "If I win, you two are fired."
Sama shrugged. "Well... it wouldn't be the first time."
Mustang laughed, leaned in between the two sitting heroes, and grinned. "Fired has a whole new meaning when I say it."
"Aww, Potatoes."
"HOW DID WE LOSE!?" CHoW was furious.
The villainous duo was having about as much luck as their heroic counterparts. Rowen was sitting at the large table in the kitchen/meeting room of LASOOF HQ, drinking a frosty beverage and listening to CHoW rant, pace and rave about how they'd lost again and how he was sick of it.
"I'm so mad I could, I could... chop some random henchmen to pieces!" CHoW growled, and as he turned back around every able-bodied member of LASOOF had ran out of the room, with the exception of Rowen who knew that his friend wouldn't attack him... and that he was better with a saber.
"Look, relax, okay?" Rowen said as he leaned back. "Yes, we lost... but we still have birthday cake. It's chocolate -- we didn't get cake-flavored because we figured you'd be reminded of Kimi, and that would remind you of how we lost and... I'm not helping, am I?"
"How could you tell?"
"Well, you're shaking and your fists are clenched so tight your gloves are turning white... and I'm not even sure how that happens."
CHoW sighed and waved his hand. The remote flew across the room and into his grip. Rowen raised an eyebrow.
"Couldn't you just use that very same flan trick to turn on the TV? ... Again, not helping, sorry."
CHoW clenched his fist so tightly in anger that he broke the remote into pieces. Growling with frustration, he waved his hand again and the TV turned on. Then, instantly, he spun around to Rowen and shot him a 'don't-say-a-word' glare.
CHoW was in a bad mood. That was understandable. It was the first time in ages that he had been the main villain, and he'd even come so close to winning... only to lose in the end. It was enough to drive a already tomato-sauce-induced-insane guy crazy.
"... In other news, Colonel Roy Mustang announced today that he will be challenging Spoony in the upcoming election. It marks the first time someone has ever challenged Spoony in the election. Some analyst indicate that Mustang could win, given his experience, the current anger towards Super Kimi and Wonder Sama, and the fact that he's promised to go shirtless at the victory party. We wanted to have a spoof of some famous television news people, but to avoid being political we're instead going to show you the famous cartoon scene where Bugs and Daffy argue over Rabbit or Duck season."
CHoW turned on the television with another wave of his hand. Rowen crossed his arms.
"Aww, I like that one..." Rowen sighed.
"Forget the cartoons, did you hear that!? Spoony's going to be out of a job! BECAUSE OF US! We lost... but we still won!"
"How do you figure?" Rowen raised an eyebrow.
CHoW was so excited he was jumping up and down. "Don't you SEE? Mustang is a military guy! If he wins, he'll put the military in charge of protecting Teh City... and that means no more Kimi and Sama!"
Rowen's jaw dropped for a few seconds; and then he grinned like a fiend. "No more Kimi and Sama means... we'll dominate! We'll have this city taken over in hours!"
CHoW laughed and clapped his hands. "And it's all thanks to us! We did it! We finally did it! ... Maybe not how I'd always imagined our victory to go, what with the exploding and the pain, BUT WE DID IT!"
"Aye, ya did." A small shadow appeared in the room, and as the two celebrating villains looked over, they saw a small gnome hobble in.
"YOU!" CHoW glared.
"Aye, it is me. The Birthday Gnome." He said with a grin.
The helmeted villain gulped. "You're going to do that universe bending thing to me now, aren't you?" CHoW sighed.
"No, no, lad. I already helped you... who do you think left you the TIE Fighter and the Giant Snake?" The Gnome grinned.
CHoW's jaw dropped this time, as evident from the metallic conk. "That was YOU? We just got an unmarked box... wait, you HELPED us? I thought you hated all humanity?"
The Gnome shrugged. "I do. But that Phazon weakened me when he beat me.... I've lost most of my powers. The one thing I could do was create those robots for your birthday."
"That explains why we aren't all in some Metroid or Tenchi parody right now, but not why you're helping us." Rowen pointed out.
"It's those two... Kimi and Sama! I hate them! They helped Phazon... they ruined my chances at immortality! Besides; the guy who healed me told me to destroy them." The Gnome explained.
"Guy who healed you?" CHoW crossed his arms. "Who?"
"Don't know... he was just your typical cloaked, hooded, mysterious guy who I'm sure we'll all meet eventually, and who might even be the main villain of the next story arc." The Gnome can explain, and he can also foreshadow.
"Greeeeeeat, another one of those." CHoW sighed. "Well.... if we win in the meantime, I'll look past it."
"Me too." Rowen nodded.
"Excellent! Then let's get going -- we have a lot to do!" The Gnome smirked.
"But... your powers only work on birthdays, and mine is almost over." CHoW pointed out.
"True, true... but Rowen here is due to have one soon... and before him, another will become older... and when he does, we'll strike! After all... our entire evil plan hinges on Mustang winning this election... which happens to fall on Spoony's birthday." The Gnome laughed, showing his sharp little teeth and crazy eyes.
CHoW and Rowen glanced at each other and grinned. "I don't believe it, but..." CHoW started.
"We're actually winning." Rowen declared.
Bum bum bum!
Dramatic, no? :p
I will continue this arc with Spoony's birthday, then Rowen's, and then Joha's. As you can tell, they all run together, and also fit in with Phazon's gift. :)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY RUSH! You're awesome. Sorry this is so late.
Oh, and C_R posted a new SK&WS Picture in the Art Thread. Since posting this will make it less likely that most people will notice the art thread update, I'm telling you here. :) It's a good one.

XD I had to destroy the tower again 'cause in AGOI & Cojo's fic it's not finished being rebuilt. Poor Kimi, Sama, Joha, Zim & Gir, though. Homeless again.
XD What is it about Mustang that you girls like so much?
Well, the election is next time! In Spoony's birthday story! :) Of course, the story is far from over... mwahahah.

Anyways, I'd vote for my nemesis. Why? Because a change in leadership adds new variables, and The Plan is nearing perfection...Muhahahaha!
*Cough.* But that's after Return of the King.
Anyways, AWESOME! I am inspired to write Part II of RotK now! And hopefully Cojo will return soon as well.

Hmmm... I really should go read the manga. Gah, I never have any time to do that or many other things despite the fact that I never really do anything, anyway. I kill too much time needlessly with my constant procrastination.
Man, I'm really excited for the next chapter, though! I can't wait! I wonder if more FMA characters will show up? Especially Edward, considering how much he can't stand Mustang. XD Though Ed is kind of an unpredictable vote. On the one hand, as I mentioned, he hates Roy. On the other hand, though, I am trying to steal his girlfriend... :heh:

LMAO XD I've done that sort of thing before, too! XD
Okee dokee, I've been thinking about the election...
Kimi and Sama will most likely vote for me, because they don't want to get fired (both literally and figuratively). Jeremie, Lum, and Ataru might vote for me, but it's kind of hard to figure. Jeremie is an analytical computer nerd, so maybe he'll figure in who would be best for the job. Lum has never been swayed by pretty boys, so that's a good shot in my favor. Ataru is... well, he's Ataru, so he probably doesn't care. Moving onto other characters, there's Winry, though what she does will depend on which version the SK&WS Winry is closer to being like. Edward, as I have said, is completely up in the air. Armstrong is very loyal to Mustang, so he'd likely vote for him. Hmmm... man, I have to say, this election has me stumped. I really have no idea what'll happen, but I know I can't wait!
So, as I've said, I'm really looking forward to the next chapter, GS! :D And great job with this one (I probably forgot to say that)!
Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go into my "Buy a Wii" savings fund and yet again use what I've saved up to help restore Teh City. *grumble, grumble*

Holy crap, I just remembered that there's more to LASOOF than just CHoW and Cojo! There's all those cereal mascots, too! O_O

Aiye, I've missed a lot!
[Tazzy] I'm glad you enjoyed it. ^^ Heh, I can understand an addiction to DA... come to think of it, I need to get around to posting the entire SK&WS Anthology on there... but I am lazy. :p
[Professor] Teh Town is just a suburb of Teh City, so Spoony's authority would extend to there as well, and the citizens would be able to vote as well.
Though I will say that, unless my plans change, The Professor, Avenger and the Clones will be far too busy to vote.
CHoW, Rowen and LASOOF won't vote either, considering... well, I can't tell you CHoW's new plans, but... heh... it's a real blast. :)
[D.Phazon] Actually, at least as far as I'm concerned, CHoW and Rowen are serving as the main villains for this arc. :) They needed their old spot back for a while. The Gnome is also causing trouble, but he's more of a supportive.
[Spoony] You will see the election stuff in the next chapter, which will feature quite a few surprises and other things. :)
Funny you should mention Ed so much, since... well, you'll see. :p
