SSJ: LAST TIME! ON GINGA GIRI GIRI!

Amiko: Looks like an incoherent Eva chapter.

TM: But anyway, we face off against SEELE and Kaworu.

Davis: Well, not exactly against Kaworu. Shinji did that.

Cindy: And afterwards, we are utterly confused by a flyer for a concert.

Kensou: Now, here we are doing stupid investigation work.

(SSJ then glares at Kensou.)

Kensou: ...Anyway, on with the show.

***

A body lay on the floor. It was clad in clothes befitting of a security guard. It was
softly breathing still as it was dragged away, and off at the end of a hallway let on the
opposite end, Davis waved a hand in acknowledgement and disappeared from view. Then there
was a footstep as someone else stepped into view. Boots with two straps were seen; then the
cloudy cloak was seen, white clouds outlined in orange upon black cloth. The camera stopped
on TM's chin, where a round-brimmed hat shadowed his face. He spoke into a microphone
clipped onto his shirt collar, "S-A-T-C-D-K, In position. Let's get wild, people!"

Elsewhere, floating spotlights suddenly lit up. There was Amiko and Cindy standing on a
floating, lit up stage, with a Buddha statue holding drumsticks below. Drums floated about
the platform as hordes of crazy males and screaming girls pressed in about the stands.
Amiko and Cindy were in a stadium, solemn and silent in the center of all the commotion.
All the lights centered on them. Finally, their music started.

---- Chapter 39: A Detour in Mabase ----

Now, Amiko and Cindy, upon finishing the song, were clad in the clothes of a songstress,
everyone about them cheering. Well, four people weren't. SSJ was sitting on a balcony,
having watched the two dance upon the stage. Under his seat was a knocked out guard with a
giant bump on his head. He had taken a cue from TM, his seat being dented. It was quite
uncomfortable to sit on it. He sighed and was about to take out a pipe to smoke, had not he
remembered that he hated smoking. He sighed, "Damn hobbits, smoking all the time."

Meanwhile, sitting upon the rail of a couple of stairs, Kensou sat, knocked out guard
lying upon the stairs before him as he looked up at the two songstresses. He looked up at
the two girls on stage, pondering and rubbing his chin. He muttered, "I still say it is
someone with too much free time."

And so, TM appeared with SSJ as Davis caught up with Kensou. TM leapt upon one of the
floating guitar vehicles and piloted it to his friend, who jumped upon it. Davis did the
same, taking another and having Kensou enter. Soon after, they all found themselves on the
stage, facing the singers as the audience gasped. The four were facing off against the
false Amiko and Cindy upon the stage.

"We've got the fake Amiko!" announced SSJ.

Davis yelled from the other side, "Sure!"

The fake Amiko sighed, "Such a bother."

The screen would have cracked into pieces and a battle would have began, but truthfully,
this is not where the story begins. The mystery began six hours before, when the Crew
entered Mabase, a smoking city of strangeness. Not counting the aliens coming and going and
such, the city was still strange. Anyway, it is best to start from the beginning, as all
stories should. Man, this is like Max Payne 2...

***

Just six hours before, the cries of chocobos filled the silent city with sound. Four birds,
each with members of the Outlaws upon them, kweh'ed loudly as they pulled to a stop just
inside Mabase. The Crew, on the yellow birds, looked about the rundown city. Who the Heck
would pick such a place for a concert?

The largest building was arguably the ugliest, pouring tons of smoke upon the already
unhealthy city. The grim and dank buildings otherwise did not attract too much attention,
anyway.

They wandered on into the city, looking about for any more flyers of their concert. Upon
reaching any, they tore it down and headed forward to the nearest inn. They didn't have
much time. The date on the flyer was that very day. The 13th of March, Wednesday. Something
was afoot and none of them liked it.

Anyway, as they discussed possibilities, their main reconnaissance team, Mokona and Tenpi
surveyed the town. As the two mascots traveled about the town in search of clues and hints.
Finally, their search led them to the most dangerous place: the smoking building on top of
the hill overlooking the town.

They went inside, keeping to the ceiling as Mokona held onto Tenpi, flying by flapping its
wings. They floated about, high above the ground and out of sight, until finally, they
found the room where all the hints led.

There was a room where the mayor was. He was sitting on his desk, discussing matters with a
woman. They were high above the door, so they couldn't see inside, nor were the builders
dumb enough to include an easily accessible air vent. They just floated and listened. They
heard the mayor say, "This is good publicity for out town here. I must thank you."

"It is no problem, really," a woman replied. "You remember our agreement."

There was a soft chuckle. "Of course I do."

"Then I will be here later today to collect the funds from the concert."

Bingo. The two mascots started sweating, waiting for more to be said, but with that, the
two conspirators wished each other farewell and left through another exit. Tenpi pecked
Mokona softly, hinting at it to go back and out.

So they did and soon returned to the Crew. One hour had passed since their arrival into
Mabase.

***

"Are they in position?" Voldemort spoke into a walkie-talkie.

Team Voldemort was at it again as they dashed about Mabase. This time, at specifically
defined points, each of the time waited in the town, ready to get the jump on our lovable
heroes. Voldemort waited upon finishing sending his words through his walkie-talkie (ages
6-10). There was a crackle, and each of the team spoke.

"Here," a certain Malik Ishtar's voice came from the other side.

"In place," Bakura's voice crackled from the walkie-talkie.

"We're ready," Ma informed.

Ze rhymed, "And steady."

"In position," Wormtail finally finished.

Voldemort grinned upon hearing their words of confirmation. It was time to begin their
ingenious plan. Simultaneously, the rest of his crew did their work. Each of them revealed
a small package from their clothing, placing them at various places around a certain
building. Finally, when all the packages were secure, each of them spoke in confirmation.
They returned to their leader, who pulled from his pocket a small box with a red button on
it. He pressed it.

A giant explosion tore through the building. Flames tore through the walls as air was
pushed away from the site, causing a small torrent. The building crumbled. Its supports
shattered. And finally, with a tremendous heave, it collapsed onto the street, its
inhabitants never to be seen again.

Team Voldemort cheered. Mission accomplished! Those damned kids were done for sure!
Voldemort gave a loud laugh as he relished his success.

It was at this point that the Six were walking up that very street, looking at the building
collapsing. "Destroying that building?" Cindy muttered, seeing the smoke rise into the air.

Kensou answered, "Yeah, no one's been living in it for years. I was wondering when they'd
demolish it."

Team Voldemort froze upon hearing their footsteps and voices. Slowly and jerkily, they
turned to face the direction of the voice. Upon recognizing the Six, waving and smiling,
they all reeled back in terror as Voldemort screamed, "NANJA KORYA?!" (Subtitles: "WHAT THE
FUCK?!")

TM narrowed his eyes and glared at Voldemort. "Hey, that's my schtick," he muttered.

Voldemort then pointed to the space where the building he just demolished should be. He
screamed, "You're supposed to be in there! What's up with that?!"

The Crew then let out a loud fit of laughter. They fell to the floor and rolled around
Team Voldemort's misfortune. Finally, amidst their yelling, Davis got up and explained,
"Ours is the one next door. You missed."

Team Voldemort turned white upon their mistake. But no matter, the Maze brothers leapt
into the fray, another game hastily prepared. "Okay!" Ma shouted proudly. "Here is our
backup plan!"

"A game of MONOPOLY, so you should have ran!" Ze added. The Crew sweatdropped.

***

Amiko and TM then slapped high-five in unison. Five minutes passed since the beginning of
the game, and already it was over. Superior accounting thanks to TM and superior planning
by Amiko took out the Maze brothers and left Amiko and TM with hotels on every single slot,
which they owned. With that, SSJ nudged Davis for his job. Davis sighed and sent an
explosion racing towards Team Voldemort.

But no, Voldemort deflected it with the superior powers granted by his afro. The Six
sighed. SSJ and Davis then came to the foreground, stretching. SSJ muttered, "Ah, maybe you
should get to the point and fight first thing we meet, Voldemort."

Voldemort shouted back, "Silence! You have no right to call me by that name!" He glared at
SSJ under his dark hood.

Davis then asked, "Then what name do we call you? Nabeshin #4? Wizard with afro?"

Voldemort then pointed to himself, standing tall and proud. He proclaimed, "You shall call
me by LORD soon enough?"

SSJ and Davis laughed again, muttering to themselves amid Voldemort's swears. "Haha! Yeah,
sure," came from SSJ.

Davis added, "Heh! McDonald's food will taste good first."

Voldemort's eye twitched. He then got down in position and prepared his famed technique.
The Crew rolled out of the way just as the Dark Wizard screamed the last word. The streets
cracked and tore apart from the energy. He had gotten quite adept at using it since his
last meeting!

The Crew hid behind various obstacles. SSJ whispered to the nearest person, who happened to
be Cindy, "We need a plan."

Cindy scratched her chin in thought. Then a light clicked in her head. "I know!" she
exclaimed. "Use your attack with the zergs!"

SSJ glanced at Cindy, scratching his head as if he couldn't believe he didn't think of it.
Anyway, he got to his feet and raised his arms, yelling into the air, "Okay! Zerg Rush,
come forth!"

There was a sudden rumbling. All of Mabase trembled under violent shockwaves that raced
throughout the city. Suddenly, an army of zerglings burst from nowhere and crashed into
Team Voldemort. There was screaming, biting, and a general feeling of pain throughout the
team as many, many aliens took their turn ravaging the team.

From behind his hiding place, a light clicked off in TM's head. He grinned then leapt into
the open just as the zergs burst into light and disappeared.

TM held out his left hand, concentrating and forming a small storm within his hand,
bringing his other hand in and out to cause it. Team Voldemort caught sight. TM shouted,
"Prepare! I learned this Rasengan from Naru-"

But just before he finished, the ball was out of control, throwing wind every which way,
and finally disappeared. TM swore, muttering that he must've not trained enough. He then
turned back to Voldemort, expecting the Dark Wizard to have an attack ready.

But no, he was rolling across the floor, grabbing his eyes in pain. Sand was flying about
the place due to the release of all the wind from TM's hand. "GAH! SAND IN MY EYES!"
Voldemort screamed.

TM sweatdropped as Amiko shoved Davis in to do his job again. Davis snapped his fingers,
and sent another explosion spell racing towards the team. As flames tore through the
street, Team Voldemort was in the air, holding hands in a ring and yelling, "Team Voldemort
is blasting off agaiiiiinnnn..."

And with a bling and a sparkle, they were gone. The Crew sighed with another encounter
done. It was then that Kensou caught sight of something particularly interesting. One of
the buildings far away was on fire. The Crew exchanged glances. Finally, Kensou put his
hands to his mouth and let out a shrill whistle, and soon their four chocobos were there.

They leapt upon them and raced towards the flames, expecting no good to come out of it.

***

The flames tore through a seemingly regular building. The plants about it were green and
fresh, and the soil was moist and fertile. Kensou particularly noticed. He muttered to the
others, "This couldn't have spontaneously started."

The Five exchanged glances. TM pondered, "Sounds like Mamimi, alright."

"All these anime towns no longer surprise us, huh?" Cindy commented.

And just as they were watching the flames, Kensou heard a particularly strange sound. It
was a cat. He tightened his grip upon his weapon. He turned to the sound to find a girl
with pink hair and a school uniform, trying to hide in the bushes. "Who's there?!" called
Kensou.

The rest also turned their attention to the girl, who suddenly cowered in the face of the
Six. The six with a variety of sharp, pointy weapons. Kensou weakened his grip, but then
there came the roar of a moped. The Crew saw from a distance away, dist and dirt was being
thrown up.

Soon enough, there was Haruhara Haruko with her guitar and ready to slam, along with Naota
with the biggest headache yet.

Then suddenly, out from his forehead tore a robot which the author is too lazy to describe.
This will be one of the fun events were the reader gets to imagine the enemy. Anyway, as it
tore from Naota's head, it bellowed and made the ground shake. TM was the first to leap
forward and perform an attack on it: battoujutsu.

But them TM was on the floor, the thing's arm emerged and slammed him into the ground. SSJ
swore and took up his blade, jumping forward and performing his Ryuu Tsui Sen upon the
robot. But metal doesn't cut metal very well, and SSJ was flying towards his greatest
weakness.

He fell into the river.

Out came Kero, swearing and dragging his relatively large blade. The robot then caught
sight of the small yellow rodent with wings that wasn't a bat. It prepared to take care of
it then and there, amidst SSJ's swearing.

However, there was a strumming of a guitar. Haruko smashed her weapon into the thing's arm,
tearing it apart from the body and making it fly towards the river. "Take that, nameless
robot!" shouted Haruko.

Amiko and SSJ caught sight of it when it appeared over the river again, red and breaking
apart. They rubbed their chins in thought.

But then, Cindy was sending bullets at the thing, and Amiko helped, sending arrows at
wherever the robot's eyes were. Amidst failing attempts, they simply grabbed rocks, leapt
upon the beast, and started breaking it down themselves.

They all then heard screaming. Everyone caught sight of Naota yelling as the robot with a
TV for a head, Canti, opened a large mouth and ate the kid. The Crew had narrow eyes as
Haruko and Mamimi were shocked. "Naota..." Haruko trailed off.

"...Was eaten?!" finished Mamimi.

Then Canti turned red. The robot took its arm off TM, much to the boy's relief, and
focused its attention on the new thing. It was at this point that the two duked it out with
a killer game of arm wrestling, robot versus robot. Canti had the advantage. Suddenly, the
nameless robot did. Amiko and Cindy were waving their fans and cheering for support as
Canti once again gained the upper hand.

Then out of the sky dropped a girl with a balloon thing growing out of her head. She
screamed for Naota and much surprised everyone there was she fell onto the large robot,
allowing for enough of an opening to have Canti smash its arm into the soil and tear it
from its socket.

Not wanting to waste more time, Davis quickly pulled out his trump card. With a rather
large golf club, he gave the robot a good whack that sent it flying into the river,
screaming as it slowly rusted over and broke apart, streaming into the river.

Naota was thus returned, and everyone was sighing in fatigue. It was then that SSJ had the
sense to address the FLCL characters, "Hey, do you all know what's going on with the
concert?"

Haruko laughed. She replied, "Couple of strange people suddenly appear and declare a
concert, and so many strange people flood into the town."

"You know who declared the concert?" asked Amiko.

Haruko answered, "Of course. There was this one with a brown braid and this other with
black hair. Knew their bit about robots."

Then SSJ was sighing again. The girl that once had the balloon for ahead was now normal
with a head of black hair, pulling on his wings in a school-girl-like fashion. "Now, this
is a bit funny, isn't it?" asked the girl, Eri.

SSJ's beady eyes twitched. "Stop that," he demanded.

SSJ caught sight of a bucket of water near the fire site, and flew into it. He was himself
again, though with a bucket for a shoe soon, enough. Everyone laughed at the boy's
misfortune. SSJ was hopping about trying to get the bucket off as Kensou continued the
questions, "Where is this concert taking place?"

Mamimi pulled on the guy's cloak. Kensou turned to her and she answered, "Mamimi knows,
it's right over there on the hill."

And she pointed to the largest building, pouring smoke into the town. Soon after, they all
were leaving. SSJ had caught Eri, for she insisted on going with the cute yellow one. TM
had caught Haruko, as Davis was with Mamimi. Cindy left with Naota, and they were on their
way. One more hour for the concert to begin. They devised their plan.

***

And as they faced off against the imposters in the current time, there was a rise of shouts
amongst the audience. Not wanting to attract too much attention, the false Cindy threw down
a smoke bomb.

They were out of the stadium soon enough, the false girls running away from the chasing
Crew. But the false girls were faster, running forward and losing the ones behind. But
bullets and arrows dug into their path, and suddenly before them was Amiko and Cindy, armed
and prepared for anything.

The rest caught up, SSJ and TM skidding into position on each side of the two. They were
surrounded. "Stop this game, now," demanded Kensou.

"Yeah!" Amiko added. "Give up the act!"

And the false Amiko sighed, "Sure, sure."

To Amiko's surprise, that voice sounded familiar... And masculine. The false girls threw
away something that appeared to be a sphere. Cindy caught them before they could cause too
much trouble again. There was a flash of light and the two false girls slowly changed.
Everyone was taken aback to find in the place of Amiko and Cindy were two distinctive
males: Duo Maxwell and Chang Wufei. TM once more rubbed his chin thoughtfully. And he
began, "There's only one thing to say for this... NANJA KORYA?!" (Subtitles: "WHAT THE
FUCK?!")

And then Duo pointed a finger at Amiko. "I'm here to avenge Heero and Trowa's tragic
demise!" he declared.

Wufei proudly announced, "This concert was to lure you here, and now, woman, you shall
atone for your crimes!"

Amiko sweatdropped. She was between crying and joy upon seeing the two bishounen. Before
they could say much else, she was hanging off of Duo, hugging him as he screamed in terror,
"Get her off me! Get her off me!"

"How I missed you!" Amiko wistfully spoke. "You never believed how much I waited to see all
of my guys!"

Wufei pulled a crowbar out of nowhere and tried to pull the girl off. However, after much
repeated attempts, it proved to be quite futile. There was no way to escape the dreaded
Grip of a Fangirl™. Except from out of the sky there came a kick that sent Amiko flying
back. As she reeled and got to her feet, she saw that Sally Po and Hilde Schbeiker in the
way of her beloved bishounen. Quatre also came, trying to calm the guys down. Sally yelled,
"Not only will we protect them, but we'll get the funds!"

"A deal, huh?" Hilde said with a smile.

Amiko turned back to the Crew, smiling in a totally unreassuring way. She told them, "This
is my fight,
okay?"

The Crew nodded. When Amiko was serious, she was serious. And deadly.

Amiko pulled out her prime weapon besides her bow and arrows, her set of fans. SSJ and TM
cringed, for they have felt its terror a few times in the past.

Amiko dashed forward at Hilde and Sally, who were armed to the teeth with various guns.
Bullets were blazing towards the young fangirl, dashing still towards the bishounen's
protectors. Their guns stopped firing. They needed to reload!

Too late. They were in the sky, various bruises and scrapes accompanying them from the
tremendous pain inflicted by Amiko.

They crashed into the dirt floor as Amiko strutted over the gain her prize. TM nudged
Davis, and they went to save the two poor girls from certain death. TM soon got Hilde, as
Davis caught Sally. Quickly, they mixed back into the Crew as Amiko turned around to find
the two girls gone. She shot a glare at SSJ, TM, and Davis, not sure who had who, but they
all shrugged their shoulders as Kensou and Cindy sweatdropped in the backgrounds.

Upon seeing that scene, Duo, Wufei, and Quatre got to their knees and pleaded. She heard
Duo beg, "Please, Amiko-sama!"

Quatre pleaded, "I was never against you!"

Wufei grovelled, "For a woman, I won't mind you sparing me!"

Amiko smiled, but then Heero and Trowa appeared, laughing their asses off and rolling
across the floor. The last three Gundam pilots stared in surprise.

***

Eight hours after entering Mabase, they were gone. Amiko had more bishounen now in her
waiting room. Duo, Wufei, and Quatre were catching up with Heero and Trowa, so now Amiko
had a complete set of Gundam pilots. She was giddy with glee as the chocobos continued on
their trail. With that, SSJ was exhausted, weakly laying on his chocobo as they continued
on. Davis wasn't in better condition, for he too was weakly keeping hold of his golden one.
TM came up to SSJ, riding up to the boy with Cindy holding onto him. "What's up with you?"
TM asked.

SSJ looked up at his friend. "Nothing... Nothing at all," he blankly replied.

Then he sat up, looking ahead at the path. There was something in his eyes that made him
anxious. SSJ slapped himself, for he was acting stupid, and looked ahead once more. "I have
a bad feeling about tomorrow," was all he said.

And then TM sighed, "This can't be a good thing."

And as the sun began its slow trudge into the dark, the Crew continued on. Four chocobos
stepped onward into the looming dark. The grass swayed in the cold wind, which howled on as
sleep slowly gripped onto the Six. Finally, Cindy was the last awake. Her eyes were heavy.
With a final yawn, the world went black as their birds continued on.
