Insert Heavy Metal Demon Destruction Here

"Is it done yet?" Anuhs asked Kazuna who was putting the pieces of his machine together.

"Be patient, it'll done when it's done. So in the meantime, shut the fuck up, unless you wanna end up dead." Kazuna said in a very angry voice. Anuhs got the threat and quickly shut up. Kazuna returned his attention to the machine, which looked a lot like a ghostbuster backpack but instead of a nozzle, it had a parabolic antenna. The last piece of the machine came into place and Kazuna quickly put it on, not wanting to waste one more moment in the void "Now, let's see what this baby can do." Kazuna said and turned on the machine.

Whatever barrier there had been on the floating island that kept Kazuna from leaving, was gone in a flash, as the machine sucked all the energy from it and charged the machine for its actual purpose.

"Call our forces, it's time to leave this world, and kill the ones who treated us like trash." Kazuna said with a perfect evil grin on his face.

Anuhs nodded and pulled a transmitter out of his pocket. He pushed the button on the transmitter and all over the multiverse, Mary-Sues and Gary-Stus, who had chosen to join Kazuna and Anuhs, received a signal that told them to travel to the Brütal Legend fandom, and all as one they started opening plotholes to the fandom, and walked through.

-

Pete was watching TV while eating bowl of cereal and so was Jessie, who was sitting next to him. It had been a little empty since Joe had left, so Pete was happy to have some company that wasn't another society agent (Not counting Charis of cause).

Jessie seemed okay with it too, since he had never actually seen a television before (he's from the 1940s) and was fascinated by all the things you could learn and see on it.

Suddenly someone knocked on the door. Pete emptied the last of his bowl into his mouth, and went over to open the door. He opened to find Tash standing outside "Tash, has something come up?" Pete asked.

"Yeah, Anuhs has popped up in the Brütal Legend fandom, just like Angelina said he would." Tash said.

"Okay, We'll be there in a minute." Pete said before closing the door "Turn off the TV Jessie, they've found Anuhs." Pete said before he started equipping himself with his society gadgets.

"It was about time he showed his ugly face." Jessie said, mostly to himself. He turned off the TV and quickly found his helmet, and let it slide down over his black hair and dark blue eyes.

"Yeah, finally" Pete said and put his plothole generator in his pocket, he and Jessie then went out the door towards the observation room.

Pete and Jessie entered the observation room, and found everyone there standing around a single monitor. Pete and Jessie walked over and Pete asked "What's happening?".

"What's happening is that more and more Sues and Stus have been popping up since Anuhs arrived in the Brütal Legend fandom." Tash said.

Pete and Jessie walked closer to the monitor, and when they looked at the screen they could clearly see more and more Sue signals pop up on the screen "Why all those Sues and Stus?" Pete asked himself.

"It looks almost like an invasion." Jessie said out loud.

At that comment, Pete suddenly realized something. What he had seen in the world of the universal knowledge suddenly made much more sense. The figure he had seen talking to Anuhs had found some way to break the barrier between the fandom multiverse and the real world, and he was going to take over the real world with an army of Sues and Stus. Now only one question remained, why had they chosen Brütal Legend as their destination?

"We're gonna need some help to get through this." Pete said as he pulled the beacon he got from his author, out of his pocket.

"Yeah, but from who?" Tash asked.

"My author. He told me to call him when something came up." Pete said and held up the beacon.

Tash took another look at the screen, where still more and more signals popped up, before looking back at Pete and said "Do it. We'll find someone to go in with you while you call your author."

"Okay." Pete said before he and Jessie left the room "Get our author here and bring him down into the basement, I have something I have to talk to Angelina about." Pete said before he handed the beacon to Jessie and started walking towards the dungeons.

-

Angelina was taking a nap when someone kicked the bars on her cell loudly. At first, she tried to ignore it but the person doing it wasn't bend on giving up, so instead of kicking the cells bars, the person opened the door quickly, slamming the cell door into the bars. Angelina got so scared that she almost fell out of her bunk, she looked up to see Pete standing in the doorway "What're you doing here?" She asked.

"I came here for some final answers." Pete said and walked into the cell "First of all, I wanna know who you and Anuhs is working for, and second, why did you choose the Brütal Legend fandom as your destination.".

Angelina sat up on her bunk, and rubbed her temples in thought before she answered "We chose Brütal Legend because it's a relatively new fandom and Kazuna, the one we work for, needs such a fandom because he needs its energy to charge this machine he made, to break the wall between the multiverse and the real world and let his army through without them losing their powers."

"Kazuna?" Pete asked himself as he rubbed his chin "Why does that name sound familiar?"

"Because I created him." A voice said from behind Pete. Angelina and Pete turned their attention to the persons standing behind them. These persons consisted of Jessie on the left side of Pete and Jessie's author who was wearing a loose fitting, all black outfit. He also had a large, black notebook under his arm, and Joe on the right side of the author, dressed in a combination of a Sith robe from Starwars, a hidden leaf village headband from Naruto and his old black bodysuit.

Pete was dumbstruck. His good friend had returned after leaving the society months ago "Joe. Yo, you're back, where have you been all this time" Pete said happily and a bit surprised as he walked over and touched knuckles with Joe.

"All over the multiverse, training, but I've spent most time in Starwars and Naruto as you can see. But I'm back and ready for action." Joe said and gave Pete a light slap on the shoulder.

The author cleared his throat to bring the attention back to present matter "I believe you wanted me down here for some reason, right Pete?"

"Oh yeah." Pete said and held out a hand towards Angelina and presented her "This is Angelina, the Sue who helped us locate Anuhs and Kazuna…"

"And you wanted me to help getting out of the slammer." The author said and walked to stand in front of Angelina "And I actually have a way for her to walk out of here as a free woman."

"How? I'll do anything to get out of here" Angelina said as she raised from the bunk and stood face to face with the author, or at least as close to it as you could come, since Angelina was about half a head taller than the author.

"By becoming one of my characters." The author said and tapped the notebook he held.

Angelina looked around at the cells while she talked to herself, trying to decide, what to do "Let me see, become a character freely, and live in a world I have chosen. Or, stay here until they find a way to force me into a fandom I don't even wanna be in." She looked like she was thinking for a few more seconds, before she held out a hand towards the author and said "Deal."

The author smiled as he took her hand and said "Okay then, let's get to work." The author took a step back and opened the notebook, which started flipping its pages on its own, until it stopped at a page with a description of a character. The author brandished a pen from one of his pockets and lightly touched the middle of the page with it. The text started glowing a bright orange, and peeled of the page when the author moved the pen away from it. He drew back his hand, leaving the text hanging in the air, and pierced the text which was absorbed into the pen "Okay, time for an extreme makeover." He said like an announcer from a TV show and lightly touched Angelina with the tip of the pen.

The power, stored in the pen, rushed into Angelina's body and made her glow like the text. Her hair shortened until it only reached her shoulders and became the same color as Pete's hair. Her eyes became icy blue and she gained a pair of thin rimmed, round glasses. Her body gained a few extra kilos and her long, white dress and shoes changed into a dark blue, form fitting suit, high heeled boots and gloves of the same color with fur trimming on them. Lastly, she gained a staff which looked like a fusion between magic and technology, it looked like it was made out of white wood, and was decorated with a mix of glowing, blue runes and the connecting lines on a circuit board, which was also blue. The Prohibitor had vanished, though Angelina doubted that it was completely gone.

Angelina looked herself over before she looked at the author and said "I feel like a cartoon character."

"Well, I guess that's how my mind work. But let's leave it at that and get out of here." The author said calmly and started walking out of the basement with the others behind him.

On their way up, Angelina walked up beside the author and asked "What am I supposed to be anyway?".

The author looked at the transformed Sue, as if he didn't know what she was talking about for a moment, before he realized his mistake and said "Oh, sorry I forgot, just one moment." He opened the notebook and quickly found the description he had used to transform her earlier, which somehow had reappeared, and said "You are a weather mystic in training, from the northern tribes, and your character name is Angelina Fugel."

"And what exactly is a Mystic in your head?" Angelina asked. The group had reached the top of the stairs, and was now walking through the library towards the observation room.

"They are the only magical beings on the northern hemisphere of the world where my story takes place. They help the technologically advanced humans of the northern tribes, by changing the weather to fit their current needs." The author said. Angelina looked at him questionably, and he continued "In other words, you can control the weather in any way you want, but it takes a lot out of you, so you can't just do it all the time."

Angelina nodded. Her thoughts suddenly drifted to her missing prohibitor, and she asked "What did you do to the Prohibitor I had on, before you transformed me?"

"I made it a part of you, to make sure you don't use your Sueish powers." The author answered. Angelina nodded, and the group continued their walk towards the observation room.

Tash was a bit surprised when Pete, Joe, Jessie, the author and Angelina entered the observation room. But the author, who introduced himself as Peter, filled her in on what had happened, both to Joe and Angelina. Joe had traveled the multiverse for the past few months, learning the different skills the fanfictions he had printed had to offer. Apparently, when Peter created Joe and Pete, he equipped them with an automated ability that enabled them to change their appearance, and even their age if the fandom or fanfiction they entered required them to be. Joe had used this skill to become a child when he entered the fanfictions he had printed before leaving the society, and thus getting the training he required, since time ran differently inside a fanfiction. He then moved on to telling what happened in the basement.

"And now Angelina is one of my characters." Peter finished his explanation. He waited a moment for Tash to take it all in, before he walked over to the monitors and looked at the one with the readings on the Brütal Legend fandom, the signals had stopped popping up "How many Sues has shown up to the party?" He asked.

"51." Tash said as she walked up to the author.

"51!" Pete exclaimed "Then we're really gonna need all the help we can get, who did you get for us Tash?"

Tash looked a little sheepish as she turned and said "Well, most of our agents are either out on a mission, or doing something personal. The only one around I could find was Drake." Tash pointed to Drake, who was sitting in one of the chairs.

Pete didn't look pleased at the way the things looked at the moment "Great, now we're only outnumbered 51 to 6." He said and put his head in his hand.

"Hey, at least I'm here, right." Drake said with a sour expression on his face.

"Yeah, and it's great you're coming with us." Pete said with a weak smile, before he continued "But it just seem so impossible. I mean, normally we're barely able to take down 2, so 51 seems almost like a suicide mission."

"Which is why I'm here, I'm gonna give you some help." Pete said and padded his notebook. Before anyone could say anything, he said what everyone had on their minds "And yes, I know authors aren't supposed to help their characters in their own stories, but at this point I think it'll be okay to bend the rules a little."

Pete looked at his author for a moment, before he sighed and said "Okay, let's get going before I lose my will to do this." He then pulled out his plothole generator and created a portal to the fandom.

-

(The author's group arrives in Brütal Legend, after Eddie and his gang has gone out on their 'tour' to save the world.).

Bladehenge was standing tall, proud and lonely with all its huge stone swords, when the group entered the fandom. Drake, Pete and Joe looked themselves over and found that they were wearing black leather jackets with spikes on the shoulders, black jeans, military style boots and spiked bracelets on their wrists. The others was still wearing their normal attire.

"Alright, let's get to work." He cracked his fingers and opened his notebook. (A/N: The notebook is a physical representation of the authors imagination, at least in my version it is.)

"So, what're you gonna do?" Jessie asked.

"First, we're gonna have another makeover, and this one's for Pete."

"Me?" Pete said and looked uneasy as the author came closer with his pen tapping on the 2 pages, the book had flipped onto "Why do I need a makeover?"

"Well, I thought it was about time that you got an upgrade, now hold still while I do this." Peter said as he touched Pete with the tip of the pen. Not much happened this time around. Pete's midsection just glowed for a few seconds and it was all over.

"What did you do to me?" Pete asked rather confused.

"Transform, and you'll find out." Peter said and started walking out of the ruin.

"Okay, if you say so." Pete said and summoned his rider belt "Okay, here goes. Henshin, darkness." The buckle flipped to reveal the silver grasshopper. The buckle opened up and the nanobots started pouring out and forming the Darkhopper suit, Pete noticed a lot more silver colored nanobots than usual. The armor of the suit was now all silver, and the silver rings that normally was on his right arm, had been replaced by a big, silver colored bracelet with a pattern of bumps on it, designed to enhance his finishing move, and his right glove had also been armored and outfitted with 4 knives on the knuckles. His shoulder pads was outfitted with the same kind of bumps as the bracelet. The guan dao that usually was attached to his back had been replaced by a pair of short samurai swords, placed in holsters that looked like they were a part of the Kamen Rider's armor.

Pete looked at the knives for a moment, before he turned to the others and said "Let's go and see what our author has up his sleeve." They all started walking out of Bladehenge.

Outside, Peter was in the middle of summoning a portal, similar to the one he had used to teleport Jessie into the Cannonball Run fandom, from his notebook. This time though, the text was flowing from the pages like water and into the portal. Drake walked over to the author and asked "What are you letting into this world?"

"My personal special forces." Peter said as he kept the words flowing, moving his pen as if he was conducting a concert. He turned his head and said "This might take a while. Pete, Joe, take Drake and find out where our lawbreakers are."

Pete and Joe nodded and they started running in the direction of the Sues and Stus, with Drake on their heels, activating his armor as he did so. Peter went back to directing the energy into the portal.

"And what are we supposed to do, stand around and look pretty?" Angelina asked with a sour expression.

"You could do that, or you could train in using your powers." The author said a little irritated and continued his work.

"Is he always like that?" Angelina whispered to Jessie.

"Most of the time he's a very nice person, but I guess he is a little pissed about one of his creations going renegade." Jessie whispered back.

"What did he create Kazuna for?"

"Your guess is as good as mine. I think you should ask him yourself, if you really want to know." Jessie said.

Angelina thought about it for a moment, before she walked over to the author and said "Peter."

"Yeah." The author said as he kept most of his concentration on the book in his hand.

"Well, I wanted to know what Kazuna was before he turned into a Stu."

Peter turned his head away from the book, the flow of words stopping in the process. He stroked his beard once and started to relate "I originally created Kazuna as a villain for a story that I never finished. But I thought he was a cool character, so I locked him away in a corner of my mind and put a barrier on the place so he couldn't leave. But I forgot all about him, and eventually, he was shoved into the void between the fandoms, away from my mind, with no way of return. That is until today, which is why we're here." He then returned to calling his forces into the world.

"Wow, to think that forgetting a character, could have such huge consequences." Angelina said.

"Yeah, it's a bitch." Peter said.

Meanwhile, Pete, Joe and Drake had reached their destination, the gathering of Sues. Pete was amazed by how much better his upgraded suit made him feel, he felt stronger and faster, and apparently he was, he had actually managed to run away from Joe and Drake a few times on their way to their destination, which was on the other side of a highway.

The 3 agents looked down upon the small army of Sues and Stus, which was standing in circles around Kazuna, who was adjusting the machine that was going to grant them access to the real world. And Anuhs, who was leaning against a very large weapon case.

"So, we found the Sues, now what?" Drake asked.

"I guess we call the author." Joe said and dug his hand into the pouch on his back, and pulled out a small communicator. He activated the device, held it to his ear and said "Author, we've found the Sues roughly two kilometers away from Bladehenge."

"Great, just stay where you are, and we'll be there as soon as we can." Joe answered back.

"Okay, we'll just stay here and catch some rays…" Joe looked up at the cloudy sky for a moment, before continuing "Well, as much as we can with this weather." Joe then turned off the communicator and put it back in the pouch.

"You drive like a freaking maniac." Angelina said as she literally crawled out of the jeep that she, the author and Jessie had just arrived in, looking like she was about to throw up.

"Hey, I think I'm driving pretty good, considering I don't have a license." Peter said with an arm on the steering wheel, earning him a look from Angelina as if he was a total nut job.

"Are we there yet?" Jessie asked. He was in the back of the jeep, keeping his head down and was literally clinging to the side.

"Yep, we're here." The author said. He looked up to see Pete, Joe and Drake heading down towards them "And there's our warriors."

The three stopped in front of the jeep. They looked around for a moment, before Drake said "I thought you were going to bring someone or something to help us out."

"And so I have." Peter said before putting a hand in his pocket and pulling out a glass pyramid with what looked like a black fog inside.

Joe looked at the pyramid for a moment and asked "You're not having a mental breakdown, are you author?"

"Not unless you want me to, HA HA HA." The author said with a psychotic smile on his face, along with an equally psychotic laughter (Think the Joker from Batman). He then cleared his throat and continued talking as if nothing had happened "Now, let's go kick some ass." Peter and Jessie got out of the jeep and together with Drake, Angelina, Joe and Pete they walked back up to the highway to begin their attack on the Sues.

"So, what now?" Angelina asked.

"Give us some fog, and cover the Sues up." Peter said. Angelina nodded and started concentrating. The fog started gathering and after a few minutes, it looked as if a cloud had descended upon the Sues "And now for the funny part." The author said and pulled the top off the pyramid and threw it into the fog. They waited for a few moments before Peter said "Lift the fog now Angelina."

Angelina did as she was told and lifted the fog, looking tired from using the large amount of energy her new powers consumed, and soon the 6 could see the Sues again. And boy did it look strange, some of the Sues was dancing with an invisible partner. Others was sitting on the ground, tearing grass off and throwing it into the air, screaming that it was money and some was giving a speech to an invisible crowd. The remaining Sues stood around, wondering if there had been something in the fog, and why it hadn't worked on them.

"What was in that pyramid, some sort of drug?" Joe asked.

"That would be a no. What was in the pyramid was evil spirits, that makes your wildest dreams come true, in your head, before sending the person into a short term coma. Unfortunately they can only put one person into coma, before they disappear back into my mind" Peter explained and padded his notebook.

"Why didn't you make them able to reposes at least one other person after they're done with their first victim?"

"Because they could come after us. And, there would be no fight scene for this fiction, now you go and have some fun." Peter said to Drake, Joe, Jessie and Pete.

"And you aren't going with us, why?" Pete asked rather annoyed.

"For one, I only have my karate as a means of self-defense, which leads me the second reason why I shouldn't go. If I die here, you'll be stuck in an endless circle of battle with the Sues with no ending, but I guess if you really want me to…"

Pete expression quickly went from annoyed to uncomfortable and said "I think you should stay here, while we take care of the last Sues."

"As you wish. Now, get to that machine and destroy it." The author said as he pulled a pirate binocular out of his pocket so he could observe the fight.

"Come on guys, let's give 'em hell." Joe said as he, Drake, Jessie and Pete started running down towards the Sues, drawing, summoning and their weapons and powers.

"Good luck guys." Peter said and unfolded the binocular and started looking at the Sues.

Anuhs and the few remaining Sues was looking around confused, as the possessed Sues started falling into comas as their weird fantasies got to an end. Anuhs suddenly spotted the 4 warriors running towards them, and he said to himself "The society, I should have know." He then directed his voice to the Sues and yelled "Quit looking at the dead!" The Sues looked at him and he pointed the 4 running towards them "Those are the ones you should worry about!" The Sues turned their heads to the agents and immediately started getting ready for battle, readying whatever weapons they had, be it duel disks, swords, guns and even poke balls. Anuhs opened the weapon case, to reveal a Metal gear solid style rail gun. He took the gun out of the case and asked Kazuna "How much more time do you need to get ready?"

"At least ten minutes, just keep them off me until then." Kazuna said as he kept trying to adjust the machine to the right frequency. Maybe it was the fandom that screwed around with the machine, or maybe it was the Sues presence in the fandom, but it kept tuning into the wrong frequencies, but he was sure he would soon have the right one.

Drake, Pete, Joe and Jessie had finally reached the Sues and jumped right into the frying pan, neutralizing the Sue as best as they could.

Drake and Joe's first opponents was a pair of Twilight vampires, who was sparkling so much, they could be used as human Christmas trees, and of cause they looked better that Edward Cullen. Drake and Joe looked at each other for a moment, before Joe asked his momentary partner "Shall we?"

"Let's." Drake said and the two started to fight. Drake used his spear to pole-vault over one of the vampires, and landed a kick to the back of the Stus head, dazing him, if only for a moment. After he landed, he pulled the spear from the ground and slashed at the Stu, who somehow managed to get out of the spears reach, before coming in close and started kicking and punching the agent, his vampiric strength enabling him to make dents in Drakes armor.

Joe wasn't doing any better against his vampire. Though the training he had received from his journey into the multiverse had made him a good deal stronger and faster, the vampire was still better than he was. Joe first tried to take off the Stus head with the claws of his biosuit, but said Stu kept jumping out of his way and punching and kicking at him and forcing him back into defense mode, and converting his claws into shields. Joe finally had enough and decided to tap into the dark side of the Force and try the Force lightning. He concentrated and let his hate flow through him, into his fingers and releasing it as lightning. This however, proved to be a bad idea, since the Stu kept avoiding the lightning, with only minor damage done to his clothes.

Meanwhile, a little away from Drake and Joe, Pete and Jessie had their own problems with a subject delta style Big Daddy and a Big Sister from Bioshock 2, both of which looked way to advanced to be in the game. Their suits were perfectly white, and every metal part on said suits were so shiny, it looked like they had never been used, and they were firing their plasmids and in the Big Daddy's case, he used his numerous weapons, while the Sister used her huge syringe.

Pete was up against the Big Sister, but even with the upgrades the new suit provided him, the Sue was still stronger and faster than him, not by all that much, but it still gave her an edge. Pete blocked a stab from the huge syringe on the Big Sisters left wrist. He shoved the Sue away and then tried to land several swipes of his swords to different places on the her body, but the only thing he got out of that, was to make a few cuts on the Sues suit. The Sue lunged at Pete and with the help of her Sueish powers, she managed to stab through his suit and into his skin. But before the Sue could drain his blood, Pete launched a kick to the Sues stomach, shoving her away and in the process, pulling the syringe out of his body. Pete didn't get a chance to catch his breath, because of the blast from an incinerate plasmid that the Sue sent his way right after being kicked away.

Pete quickly jumped away from the possible incineration, and used the few moments he got out of it to catch his breath "I'd really wish I had my guan dao right now, then I'd be able to keep that bitch at a distance." He said to himself. Suddenly, as if on his command, the nanobots that made up his swords started to move and rearrange themselves until they had taken the form of the riders favorite weapon. Pete twirled the weapon a few times, before he went into a fighting stance and pointed it at the Sue "let's dance." Pete said before he began his attack once again.

Jessie was doing a little better against the Big Daddy, but only because the armor the Stu was wearing slowed him down a little. However, he made up for that little defect with his weapons, which seemed to have an unlimited supply of ammo. And his plasmids, to which he seemed to have an unlimited supply of EVE to power them. Jessie had been dodging the bullets and plasmids some time now, and he was growing more and more irritated as the fight went on. He finally had enough of jumping around like a frog, trying to get away from a stork.

Jessie spun the disk in his belt and charged up with electricity, before he jumped into the air and landed on top of the Big Daddy, where he drew his knives and managed to cut off the Daddy's supply of EVE, before the Daddy's big hand came at him and he had to jump off. He made a quick decision, and with a swipe of his electrified knives, he cut the Stus arm up before he jumped up and landed an electrified kick to the Daddy's helmet, which made a sound like a church bell being ringed, which knocked the Daddy out, giving Jessie time enough to clamp a Prohibitor onto the Stus wrist.

However, he hardly had time for a small break, because of a giant fireball that came his way. He rolled out of the way of the fireball, and looked up to see an unknown, painfully beautiful, purple dragoness from the Spyro fandom. Jessie stood back up and cracked his neck "Well, guess there's no time for rest." He said as he walked towards the dragon with his knives crackling with electricity.

"You're gonna die, you ugly, little insect." The dragoness said with small flames blowing out of her mouth as she spoke.

"Yeah well, this little insect has a pair of stingers, so you really have a hard task ahead of you." Jessie said and smiled under his helmet.

Pete had been pushed backwards by the Big Sister Mary-Sue, and suddenly stood back to back with Joe who had also been pushed back by his opponent "So, how're you doing Joe?" Pete asked as he blocked a thrust from the Big Sister.

"Not all that good, this guy is a pain in the ass." Joe said and lunged for the vampire Stu, who nimbly dodged the razor sharp claws.

"Wanna switch, this one's also kind of a pain?" Pete asked.

"Yeah, yours can't be half as bad as mine" Joe said. The 2 agents turned around as if to run away and kicked their new opponents back.

Pete fought the Stu back with his Guan Dao, until he was standing beside Drake. After battling the 2 vampire Stus for a little while, Pete said to Drake "I'm getting tired of this stand still, let's finish them off."

"I agree, but how do we do that, do a double attack or something?" Drake asked.

"Good idea, and I think I know just how, get ready for your slicing gale." Pete said. The 2 agents got an attack in which stunned the Stus for a little while. Pete then pulled the sides of his belt to reveal the lens, which now had a segmented gold and silver ring attached to it. Drake got the idea and readied his spear for the attack.

"Society double attack…" The agents said in unison. Pete touched the head of Drake's spear, which transferred the electricity that was crackling over his arm to the spear.

Drake raised the spear before both agents yelled "Lightning gale!" The Stus, who had finally gotten to their feet, looked in horror, as Drake swung his spear and sent the electrified wind attack at the 2. An explosion formed from the impact of the attack which sent the vampire Stus into unconsciousness. Pete and Drake hurried over and finished the fight by puting Prohibitors on the Stus.

"Well, let's get going." Drake said. Pete nodded and they started running towards Anuhs. They didn't get far though, because a Sue, armed with a duel disk, and an unknown millennium artifact around her right wrist, blocked their path. Drake raised his spear and said to Pete "Go on, I'll take care of her."

"Right. Henshin change, light." Pete said and switched into Lightdrake. The suit became white, and the armor all gold. His Guan Dao was replaced by his dual laser guns, which now had longer barrels and a blade attached to each barrel. The armored gauntlet on his right arm dissolved and became golden armor on his right leg, which covered his shin and most of his foot. And to finish of the transformation, he gained a pair of green and gold colored wings on his back "Cool, I can fly now." Pete said as he looked the wings over for a moment. He then activated the wings and flew in the direction of Anuhs. As soon as he arrived, Pete activated his rider kick and started his decent towards the Stu, while shouting "Your time has come Anuhs!".

"No, it's yours." Anuhs said with a perfect, evil smile on his lips. He whipped around and almost without aiming, fired at Pete.

Pete had no time to react as the slug projectile came his way. The projectile hit the left side of Pete's head, smashing the material of his helmet to bits and even tearing out his left eye, together with a chunk of his skull. Even though Pete felt the incredible pain, he was determined to not let the Sues win this fight. He gritted his teeth and continued his descent towards Anuhs. With a wild roar, Pete hit Anuhs straight on, but because of the damage the rail gun slug had done to his armor, his attack was had lost a lot of power, but it still sent the Stu flying. Pete stood up from where he had landed, his head was spinning as he tried to walk toward Kazuna, who was still trying to get his machine to work properly. But he only got 5 steps before his legs gave way and he ended up with his face in the grass, trying to regain some energy.

Anuhs got to his feet with an evil grin on his face. His clothes had been burnt by the attack, but other than that, he was okay. He started laughing his insane laugh as he walked over to the rail gun, which he had dropped when Pete kicked him "Now, that was quite disappointing, but don't worry Pete, you won't live long enough to regret it." Anuhs said as he picked up the rail gun and casually walked over to Pete. He pointed the gun directly at Pete's head and said with a soft voice "Now, you'll do as you're told, and die."

"Oh no you don't." Anuhs looked up, only to be greeted by Drakes boot, which hit him right in the head and sent him flying once more. The 2 struggled on the ground as Drake tried to get a prohibitor on Anuhses wrist, while Anuhs tried to get away from him.

While this was going on, Pete groaned as he slowly crawled to his hands and knees. His head was still spinning, but he was determined end this mission. He pulled out one of his guns and took aim at the reality breaker machine. His aim was shaky, but he did manage to keep his aim around the middle of the machine.

"Okay, here, we, go." He then squeezed the trigger and sent a single laser shot at the machine before he collapsed again, this time falling into unconsciousness.

"What the…" Was all Kazuna could say before the machine was overloaded by the shot and exploded in his face and burning his clothes to smoldering shreds. The comatose Sues was beginning to wake up and when they saw the explosion and realized that their chance at getting to the real world was gone, so they started opening plotholes and dragging some of the prohibited Sues with them through the portals, either because they were romantically involved with each other, or because they saw an opportunity to control the Sue/Stu by promising them their freedom.

Peter looked at the spectacle and smiled. He stood up and said, first to himself and then to Angelina "Good, the machine has been destroyed. Angelina, would you kindly go and help Drake, Joe and Jessie gather the remains of the machine and call the society to get the Sues prohibited?"

"Yes Author." Angelina said and ran off to do what Peter had told her to do.

"Then I'll get Pete some medical attention before he dies." The Author said and started flipping through his notebook. He found the right page and quickly touched the page with his pen. He then pointed the pen at where Pete was laying, and shot a beam of rainbow colored light at the unconscious agent. A portal opened under Pete and transported the agent out of the fandom. Peter then opened a portal for himself to walk through and back to his mind world.

"I think he's waking up now."

Pete opened his eye by the sound of the voice and looked right up into a cobalt, bronze and silver colored, metallic ceiling, the colors of the city in his author's mind world. He tried to lift himself up so he could see who was talking, but he didn't get very far, before his head started spinning again. Instead, he laid back down and asked out into the room, his voice being a little raspy "Could somebody help me up a little?"

"Oh, yeah, sure." He heard Joe's voice and he soon felt the head of the bed, which was a big, white flower, started to rise up so he could see who else was in the room, which turned out to consist of Joe, of cause, and his Author. He looked around the hospital room for a moment, before he directed his attention at Peter and asked him "So, what happened?"

"Well, we got Anuhs and Kazuna locked up at the society, and we saved your life and your face." Peter said with a small smile on his face.

Pete reached up and lightly touched the area of his head that had been damaged, and sure enough, his face had been reconstructed and healed "Nano healers, right." He said.

"Yep."

"Then I get what you mean by saving my face, but what's the thing about my life?"

"Well, you almost died on us during the operation because of blood loss, but we quickly got you some more before your heart stopped." The author made a small pause, as if thinking about if he had forgot something, and continued "Oh yeah, and if you're wondering, yes you are still missing your left eye."

"Yeah, well, I kinda got that when I woke up." Pete said.

"Okay, it was just if you were wondering. Well on that note, you're missing an eye, but I've made you sort of an electronic patch that connects to your optic nerve, and will connect to your helmet visor when you transform." Peter said as he leaned back in his chair, which was also a flower, only this one was dark blue.

"Okay, so am I gonna have some sort of special vision or something like that?" Pete asked.

"Um, no, but your eyesight will be better than it normally would, at least on your left eye." The author stood up and started putting on a light grey jacket, which he had hung on the chair "Now get some rest, I'll come by later and see how you're doing." Peter said before he walked out of the room, pulling a black beanie out of one of the jacket's pockets.

Pete and Joe arrived at the library a few days later, both happy to be back. Joe told Tash that he wished to rejoin the society, which he was allowed, on the condition that he did the recruitment test again, to which he agreed. After that, he walked back towards his room to clean it up, since he knew it would dusty as a desert in there, after him being away from the society for so long.

Pete knocked on the door to Charis' lab, ever since he woke up in the hospital in his authors mind world, he had longed to see Charis again, and now he was finally able to do so. The door opened to reveal Charis, who immediately gained a light blush, when she saw who was standing outside her lab. After a moment of silence, she found her voice and said "Hey."

"Hi." Pete responded with a small smile on his lips, bringing one to Charis' lips as well. Another moment went, with the 2 just looking at each other, Pete cleared his throat and asked "Can I come in?".

"Yeah, sure." Charis said, her smile becoming a little wider. She opened the door fully and said "Come in." Pete didn't need to hear anymore from Charis. He grabbed the handle of the door with one hand, and put the other around Charis' shoulder before he gave her a quick kiss, and closing the door behind them. What happened after that, is left to the imagination.

Insert Casual Battle in the Dead of Night Here

The majority of the clocks within the Library currently read 11:30 pm.

Even at this time of evening, Charis obediently let herself be pulled away from her lab for what was to be the fourth time that day. The first three times her removal had been justified by the reason that, otherwise, her sister would have starved if she hadn't cooked something for her; however, Charis was curious what Karissa wanted this time around.

"Where are you taking me now?" she complained half-heartedly as she was led around by the light grip on her wrist.

When she was safely ensconced inside her laboratory, Charis could usually convince herself that only a few inches of pathetic drywall separated her from fresh air. But as her field of view was faced with row upon rows of a countless number of books, she began to feel a bit queasy. The book stacks were impossibly high, too, emphasizing just how much space separated her from the Library's exterior.

"Where are you taking me?" she repeated a second time, but her cheerful tone had taken a turn for the worse, and additionally she chafed slightly against her sister's hold.

Karissa turned wide eyes on her. "Oh, sorry, Charis, I forgot about your claustrophobia. Tash sent an e-mail saying she wanted to see us in the conference room." The younger girl noted the sudden paleness that afflicted her sibling. "I've been trying to take the shortest possible route to get there, but since your lab is out-of-the-way downstairs...there isn't really a short route, just one shorter than all the others."

Charis offered a weak chuckle. She perked up a bit once they'd passed into a part of the Library with no books – there were a scattering of Agents' personal rooms in this hallway. Most of the doors stood open, and she could see that almost no one was in bed at this hour. A large majority of the Society were Night Owls. They passed one occupied room, though, and both girls felt obliged to call a greeting.

"Night, Pete!"

"Are you going somewhere? Off for a midnight snack, or out on a mission?" Pete came to the door of his room, and seemed genuinely curious about their passing.

"We're pretty sure it's a mission," Charis spoke, but her eyes were fixed shyly past his face as she replied to him. The corners of her mouth kept trying to twist into a smile of their own accord.

"Mind if I tag along?"

"You mean you want to walk with us, or you want to accompany us on the mission?" Karissa asked slyly. Her eyes darted knowingly between the other two.

Pete only shrugged noncommittally, and then he reached with his hand for a pair of glasses folded up in his pocket. Putting them over momentarily closed eyes, Himuro spoke afterwards, "Charis, have you seen my Genderbender? Pete had it last, and he's hidden it and won't tell me where it is."

"Ah, Himuro." Charis' eyes finally made eye contact. "No, I don't know where Pete might have put it, I'm sorry." There was no flush in her cheeks anymore.

"Walk with us," Karissa commanded. She seemed annoyed for some reason that Pete's alter-ego had popped up. Together, the new group of three continued the trek to the mission room.

T_T_T_T_T_T

"It took you long enough to get here." By the time they arrived, the Society leader wasn't in a bad mood – or else they would have immediately run back from whence they came – but they had without doubt seen her in better moods than this.

"I'm sorry," Karissa apologized to Tash. "Charis' lab is pretty far away-"

"Hey, Charis, were you just going to leave without telling me? We have things to talk about regarding the Anachron device before tomorrow." Douglas interrupted from the wheelchair he had been put in after his last mission in the Surrogates fandom.

Karissa's eyes boggled. "How did you get up here so fast?"

Charis was intrigued as well. "I'm sure you were still next-door in your lab when I left with my sister."

Doug gave them both an exasperated look. "There's a winding ramp at one end of the Science hallway that terminates right around here. You must have gone up the stairs next to Jared's lab; that route takes twenty minutes longer, I might add."

Charis shot her sibling an accusing glare. She had undergone how much extra anxiety during their journey, and for what?

Tired of saying sorry, Karissa communicated an apology in silence instead.

"Charis?" Doug pressed.

"Um, I honestly forgot about our discussion, Doug. We can reschedule for after I return from this mission, right?"

"Alright," he grumbled. Looking to Tash, he said, "Sorry for bothering you. I'll leave you to them for the present."

"Thank you." Bursting with irritation at the number of delays, the leader asked, "What about you, Pete? Why are you here?"

"I want to go with you on your mission, of course." Pete recovered the conversation from where he remembered leaving off. Apparently, this wasn't one of the times where he was aware that Himuro had taken over from him.

"My mission?" Tash raised an eyebrow. "Fine, if you want, you can team up with Charis and Karissa on their mission." Business-like, she addressed the sisters, "Which one of you has the better knowledge of the Midnighters trilogy?"

"That would be me," Karissa said with a scholarly air.

Tash deferred to the younger sister. "I guess you're the best-suited to lead this mission. I want you to enter the fandom in the time between Touching Darkness and Blue Noon, and you must try again to capture Lela and Viva."

Charis gritted her teeth upon hearing the Sues' names, and a pitying sort of look came into Karissa's eyes at the same time. The only one who wasn't affected personally by the announcement was, of course, Pete. He pounded one fist in his hand, and said, determinedly, "We'll do our best, Tash."

"Good luck, girls... and Pete." Before she lost her composure, Tash turned around and stifled a giggle. She hadn't intended for Pete to escort Charis and her sister, but now that she thought about it, she couldn't have orchestrated events any better herself.

T_T_T_T_T_T

"We left so quickly," Pete protested. "Is there a reason to be in such a hurry? I couldn't grab any gadgets besides what I'm wearing on me, which is my belt."

"You won't even need that," Karissa said dismissively, without any regard to the connotations other more twisted Agents might assign to her words.

Charis was the last to jump through the Plothole, and as she pocketed her Plothole Generator with one hand, she hoisted a bulky sack up on her shoulder with the other.

"Let me carry that for you," Pete offered.

"Okay," Charis agreed, but when their hands drew close, she let go of the bag a little too quickly. Her fingertips tingled as if a spark had run through them.

Pretending not to notice the same sensation, Pete commented, "Wow. That's a lot of metal. What's it all for?" He stared at the sheer quantity of metal that had been dumped over the ground when the sack opened up.

Karissa smiled broadly at something that had pleased her. "It's stainless steel. Steel and other advanced alloys are the most effective tools to fight the antagonists in this series. The Darklings are ancient creatures that were once the dominant species on the planet, but maybe because they're so old they hate anything new or considered 'technology'".

"We can just throw this stuff at them?" Pete asked sceptically.

"Don't worry, we have a plan." Whereas Karissa's words might not have reassured him, Charis' speech put a stop to his questions.

"Enjoy your welcome to the Secret Hour."

The Secret Hour, also known as the Blue Time, was limited to this town of Bixby, Oklahoma as far as anyone knew. True, at the end of Blue Noon it was suggested that the Secret Hour might have spread to other cities located at certain coordinates - it really had to do with the latitude and longitude being multiples of 12, a number strongly associated with the Darklings - but thankfully the series had never spawned the oh-so-popular money-making unplanned-sequel, and so the theory had never been confirmed.

The buildings of the small town of Bixby looked more or less as they should in a few hours' time – that is, in daytime – but in the light of the hidden 25th hour the surrounding area was awash in a mysterious blue not seen normally. There was an absence of polluting sound or movement as well, but that was as a result of the overall lack of humans out and about outdoors. According to canon only those born precisely at midnight could move around in the Blue Time. The Agents had freedom of movement because they'd each taken an Oneshot accurately in the split second during which they crossed over to the fandom.

Pete and Charis looked around wonderingly at the nightscape as they walked jaws ajar. Karissa seemed more nonplussed about the whole situation, and on top of that there was a fresh skip in her step.

"No fair! You've acquired the abilities of an Acrobat!" It hit Charis abruptly why her sister's jumping had struck her as strange. During the Blue Time, acrobats experienced reduced personal gravity, allowing them to jump dramatically farther and higher. They could appear to fly when they took a great, running jump.

Karissa smirked. "What skills do you and Pete have?"

Charis ran through a variety of mental exercises in her head. "I think I'm a Polymath," she said dejectedly. "Pete, what's the square root of 1024?"

"32," was his instant reply.

"You're a polymath too, Pete. All we have is the inherent aptitude for mathematics."

"Don't say that like it's a bad thing." The Agents spun around to the voice of Desdemona ("Dess"), the premier polymath of the series. Beside her were acrobat Jonathan Martinez and Flame Bringer Jessica Day. Jessica had been the primary protagonist in The Secret Hour, and she continued to carry a great importance throughout the rest of the series, although she was by no means more endearing than her other teammates. "I don't remember any gossip about new kids in town. Where are you from, Midnighters?"

Although there shouldn't be any reason for Dess to mistrust them – when it came to Midnighters, it was more like every new one that was discovered was cause for celebration – Karissa thought that, from the start, Dess' voice was guarded. Equally wary, she replied, "You're right, we come from out-of-town. We just happened to be visiting, and thought we'd stay through the Secret Hour." She told no lies, but there were gaping holes in her story, if Dess cared to find them.

Boldly, Jessica dropped her boyfriend's hand and stepped forward. "Are you the ones who kidnapped Rex and Melissa?" She held a heavy flashlight in her left hand, its beam on. Her power to bring technology into the Secret Hour was especially dangerous to Darklings, but she could damage the Agents too if she chose to swing the thing at their heads.

Charis spoke up immediately in their defence. "No! We don't know anything about any kidnappings!"

Jonathan made a move to recapture his girlfriend's hand. "Calm down, Jessica. They're not the ones responsible. The kidnappers I saw were two females, yeah, but one of them was an adult. They are just kids like us."

Hardly! Pete thought, but he didn't dispute the fact that he was actually 20.

*WHAM*

"Ow! W-what you just said. Rex and Melissa are missing?" Karissa forcefully took hold of the conversation and dragged it back on-topic, but she nursed a new bruise from the author's not-too-subtle nudging as she did so. "Why would Lela and Viva target main characters? Sues usually try to befriend canon characters; they don't get them out of the way."

"In my opinion, they are the strongest Midnighters. I didn't want them available to help you. If I could, I would have removed these three before you arrived, as well."

Following the trend she'd started in Insert Evident Demonic Contract Here (somewhere in transdimensional space, a tremor rocked the Library), Lela appeared as if from nowhere, and Viva stuck to the Sue like a second shadow. "Surprise! You've walked into a trap, Agents. Congratulations!"

Pete immediately passed a hand over his belt buckle, revealing a relief of a white dragonfly, and his Lightdrake armour covered his clothes. However, neither Karissa nor Charis moved to produce any weapons. Charis simply held out a hand to her sister. "A trap?"

Karissa slapped a five-dollar bill into her waiting palm. "Yeah, it was a trap. There, paid in full."

"How could you willingly walk into a trap, knowing it was here?" For a moment, Lela put aside her enmity for a tone of true puzzlement.

Karissa rolled her eyes. "If you're the one who springs the trap, you have to be at the centre of it. And how will I ever capture you if I don't come to the source of the trap– to you?"

Heavy silence emanated from the Sues' side. Lela flipped her short hair away from her face impatiently, and just like that the silence disappeared. "In any case, I've got you where I want you. Let's see you try to defeat a whole army of Darklings."

"How will you summon–" Karissa began. Before she'd finished speaking, Viva dropped to the ground, threw her head back, and began to morph. The lines separating the separate pieces of her clothing ran together – black on black – and her spine contorted dangerously. The Sue's arms and legs became heavily muscled, and with a terrible sound a long black tail uncoiled behind her. The transformed Sue was nothing more than a large cat, but she was frightening nonetheless.

"Voila! A makeshift Darkling. They alone can make their kind heed a call." Lela grinned madly. This time, when Viva reared her head, she let loose a deafening roar. Wing beats began to be heard in the sky, not far from where they all stood.

Jonathan spoke up mildly. "Besides the fact that we've found our kidnappers, and besides the fact that I just saw a human change into a cat – to think I thought what we do was pretty unbelievable – why do I get the feeling that things are about to get a lot more interesting?"

"Because you're right!" Karissa shouted. She tore the sack of metal from Pete's grasp, and began to rapidly distribute its contents to both Agents and characters. "I know you already have some weapons," she told the Midnighters. "They might have names as well, but we brought along a list of words ourselves, and now we don't have the time to compare vocabularies. Please take a part of our list, and use it anyways. Knowing Lela, I anticipate that a lot more Darklings than you're used to are on their way."

At the same time, Charis was explaining to Pete, "The materials that we use to fight Darklings have to be blessed with names; thirteen-letter words. Take a piece of steel in your hands, hold it to your lips, and call its name just like this." Charis near-kissed a two-pronged fork, uttering "Abbreviations," and in one fluid movement she turned and skewered a snake-like Slither on its end. "Got that memorized?" she asked him sweetly, and then she called to Karissa, "The cavalry has arrived!"

The initial scene of the battle was too chaotic to describe. Above the din, the oddest words were bellowed out: "Abiogenically!", "Abnormalities!", "Abolitionists!", and then some.

Anytime a Midnighter faced off against a Darkling, the human combatant won, albeit with some difficulty. However, for the first time that Karissa could remember, Lela immersed herself personally in the fight as well. Karissa came face-to-face with her fated rival with no little astonishment. "How do you think you're going to fight me?" she taunted the Sue, remembering their encounter in the DGray-man fandom where Lela's repertoire had consisted of various – yet functionally limited – blocks.

Lela thrust a hand out, and Karissa barely phased out of the visible spectrum in time to throw off her aim. Her invisibility didn't faze the Sue for more than a second though, and Lela reciprocated with another jab that arced through the air eerily close to her real location. "You've never tested the powers of a Pureblood have you?" Lela held back a laugh. She sent forth a barrage of wind that shouldn't have posed a threat to Karissa. The Agent moved to take a step out of the way, but against her will she walked into the attack. She cried out against the improbable pain of a slip of a breeze slicing into her skin like razors.

"My ability will not only distort your sense of balance and direction, but it will then cut you to the bone when you enter its embrace." Lela pushed more wind towards Karissa, and true to her word, Karissa felt more cuts open up all along her arms. "My empathetic connection wouldn't let me access my Pureblood powers before, but among other things, my demon is an unnaturally good teacher." Two paces away, Viva pounced upon Jonathan – still in her quasi-Darkling form – and when she spread her jaws she might have been smiling in response to her master's praise.

"Jonathan, no!" Charis distantly heard Jessica scream, and from the spot where she fought back-to-back with Pete, she came to realise that they were losing. The conclusion of this battle wouldn't turn out well for the Agents and their allies, unless good fortune intervened. "Pete, cover me!" she yelled, breaking the connection of their bodies. Fishing around in her pocket – no, the other pocket, she didn't want her Plothole Generator – Charis pulled out what appeared to be a Nike swoosh-shaped keychain. Pete cleared a path for her as she headed towards the centre of all the destruction.

Although no one paid her any mind, Charis still hesitated before she used her device. She didn't do so out of dramatic effect, but she wanted to make sure her sister wouldn't be hurt by what she was about to do. "Reality check!" she announced, as she hurled the keychain-object to the ground. Instantly, a visible Karissa stopped screaming in pain; Lela stared at her hands dumbly, at a loss to the reason why her powers had vanished; Viva shuddered before returning to a human form; last of all, Pete's armour disappeared without a trace.

"What did you do?" he asked in a panic. The struggle still raged on around them, and Pete raked a steel knife he still held down a Darkling's side, in the only way to ward it away from Charis. If the yowl it gave was any indication, enchanted metal was effective all the same.

"A reality check works in fandoms where the setting nearly parallels the real world. It causes any foreign invaders of the fandom to temporarily lose their powers, be they Agent or Sue," Charis panted. As she made her explanation, she too continued to brandish her canon weapons. "Any powers we brought in with us are nullified from this point on. We can only continue fighting with these weapons because the metal was powerless until we named it, and we did that after we entered the fandom."

Karissa caught on quick, although she hadn't heard Charis' full-length explanation. She staggered over to her fellow Agents, running rapidly through her remaining list of words and losing weapons in Darklings for every inch of ground she covered. Jessica had helped Jonathan recover from Viva's lunge, and the Midnighters were grouped together once more, just like the Agents. Dess hardly looked battle-weary at all as she nodded to Karissa, "Those two seem a bit shell-shocked by whatever you did. Should we finish off these Darklings before they snap back?" Of course, by 'those two' she meant Viva and Lela.

Karissa concurred whole-heartedly with Dess' strategy. Clutching the scrap of paper she had left, along with everyone she raised her voice and called the names of every weapon she possessed.

The Darkling forces stood no chance against the ultimate onslaught. Any live ones turned tail and fled, leaving the Sues and six humans standing in the shadow of their flight. When the sky had cleared, Karissa made herself turn to Lela, and she saw that she was being comforted by her demon and governess. Lela was crying. "I don't suppose you're ready to turn yourself in?" she enquired softly.

Lela raised a tear-streaked face, and answered defiantly, "Never!" Disgracefully, she threw her arms around Viva's neck, and while being carried she was spirited away by Viva.

"How long do you figure your Reality Check will last, Charis?"

"It won't hold out for five more minutes."

"So we've got five minutes to try and chase them down, or else they'll be gone. They'll be able to produce a Plothole at the same time we can."

"Yes."

Karissa set off first, and after watching her gain a decent head-start, Charis and Pete thought to go as well. "Goodbye, Jess, Dess, Jonathan," Charis politely made their goodbyes. "In five minutes you won't remember any of this. Rex and Melissa will be at the edge of town being embarrassingly romantic as usual. Go find them." She and Pete left before the Midnighters could find any words to express how they felt. Maybe that was best.

T_T_T_T_T_T

"Is this how your missions normally end? I mean, I have a strange rival in Anuhs Weedy, but compared to Lela his motivation seems almost sane." Pete was walking Charis back to her lab, which served as her bedroom whenever she was Inside. They walked closely so that their hands practically touched, but they wouldn't hold hands while others about might see.

"I maintain that Lela is a nutcase because she wants to kill me and Karissa, but she can't because she's related to us," Charis said shortly. She wavered between disdain and compassion for the Sue, right in front of his eyes. "If only Lela weren't so pig-headed. Our Author put her into a comfortable retirement when she decided to stop writing Lela's story, but she treated that the same as if she'd been tossed into the Vault of Abandoned Ideas. Both Karissa and Lela hunger for Cay's affection so much that it skews their perception entirely."

"Oh?" Pete didn't say anything more for a while. Eventually he wanted to suggest to Charis that they talk about something else, but they'd already arrived in front of her door in the Science corridor.

"Thanks for coming today, Pete," Charis said tiredly. "You really didn't have to."

"But I wanted to." When Charis opened the door to go inside, he belatedly called her back. "Charis?" With her searching eyes gazing straight at him, he deliberately stuck his head into her room and kissed her. He took advantage of the closing door to shield them from view. "I wouldn't mind going on other missions with you, some time," he mouthed against her lips.

Charis brushed brilliantly. "Off with you now. G-goodnight."

Insert Fast Car Here

Pete was sitting in the Sue monitor room. He had been put on monitor duty, since there hadn't been anything for him to do in the fandoms, ever since he returned from the Ironman fandom, and he was bored out of his mind. Therefore, he had let Himuro take over, and now he was sitting in front of the screen, fiddling with what looked like a detonator, with a battery pack, and a timer attached.

Suddenly, an alarm went off on the monitor, indicating that a Sue had been found "Well, it was fun while it lasted." Himuro said, and tightened the last screw on the device, before he put his classes and the device back in one of his pockets, before closing his eyes to switch back to Pete.

"Okay, what have we here?" Pete asked himself, after regaining his senses, and turning off the alarm. He began typing in commands, that brought up the name of the fandom "Tash, I've found some." Pete yelled, after confirming the fandom, and the number of Sues in it.

"Great, how many are there, and where are they." Tash asked, running over to Pete, and looking over his shoulder.

"From what I can see, there are 4 of them, and they are in the Cannonball run fandom." Pete said as he looked the 4 signatures on the screen, of which 1 of them looked a little different. He suddenly realized what he had just read, and added "Cool.".

Tash looked from the screen to Pete and asked "Do you know this fandom?".

"Yeah, it's one of my favorite movies from the 80s." Pete said.

"Then go to your room, and pack your gear, I'll meet you in the library, together with the agents, who'll be assisting you." Tash said, and started walking over to her own computer, to check for available agents for the mission.

"Yes ma'am." Pete said and turned off the scanner, and went to his room.

-

Pete exited through a plothole into a desert area together with his 2 partners. The first one being Doug, and the other being Marcus. Pete immediately looked at his clothes. He was wearing a pair of slightly tight jeans, a white shirt, a thin leather jacket, white sneakers, and a cowboy hat "I feel right at home in this movie already." Pete said, and though the clothes wasn't his favorite, he actually thought he looked pretty good in it.

"People wear this?" Doug asked. He was dressed in an outfit, similar to the one Pete was wearing, only the shirt was green, he also had his knife attached to his belt, and a rifle over his shoulder. Marcus was dressed in a grey and black, gangster like outfit.

"Welcome to my world." Pete said. Just then, a black Lamborghini came speeding by, with a herd of police cars behind it.

"What was that?" Marcus asked.

"That was the beginning of the movie." Pete said. He then noticed 3 cars only a few feet away from them. He waved his fellow agents with him, as he started walking over to them.

All 3 cars were Trans ams, and each was painted with a different pattern on them. The first was painted gold and silver, with a white dragonfly, and a black grasshopper, in a circle pattern, on the hood. The second was camouflage colored, with every color that the military uses. The third and last was painted in soft red, yellow, and purple colors, with the Storm Hawks character Junko painted on the hood.

Pete saw a note stuck to the windscreen, of the gold and silver Trans am. He picked it up and read out loud "Here you go boys, a nice set of wheels for all of you. Do your best, and show those Sues who's boss, the Author."

There was quiet for a moment, before Marcus asked "So, where do we go from here?"

"I'd suggest we go to the cannon ball pub, and sign up for the race." Pete said, and jumped into the driver seat of the silver, and gold car, and was gladly surprised to see that the car had a radio, so he could communicate with his team mates. He turned the radio on, and picked up the caller, "Darkhopper calling Military man and Clip shades, you good to go, over?" Pete said, with a slightly Texan accent.

"10 4 Darkhopper, I am, over." Doug answered back, imitating the same accent.

"Uhm, yeah, I'm ready." Marcus said, only getting the basic of what the other 2 was saying.

"Alright, let's get to the inn, as quick as we can." Pete said as he turned the key to start the engine, and soon, the 3 cars was zooming down the highway towards the cannon ball pub.

-

"Wow, I can't believe I'm actually here." Pete said excitedly, as he looked at the motel, he and his 2 partners had parked in front of.

"Can I ask you why you're so exited?" Doug asked.

"Well, it's just that, I've loved this movie, since I was a child, and I've always wanted to see this place for real." Pete said in a more calm voice.

Suddenly, a pickup truck came into the parking lot at high speed. It looked like the driver tried to stop the vehicle, but couldn't. The car did a few turns, before it smashed into the front doors of the motel. Doug and Marcus was about to run in and see if anyone had been hurt, when Pete said "Don't bother, no one's been hurt. Come, let's go register."

When they passed the doors though, Marcus and Doug couldn't help but looking inside the lobby, just to make sure no one actually hadn't been hurt. They were relieved to see that no one had been hurt. The only one who had been close to being hurt, was a guy who had been knocked unconscious by the truck, and who was now being awakened with a splash of water to the face.

After registering, the 3 agents went into the motel, and got rooms for the night. After inspecting their rooms, they went into town, to buy supplies for the trip. When night finally fell, they went down to the bar to get some drinks, and talk plans for the coming morning "Okay, you're the guy who knows all about this fandom, so what's the plan?" Marcus asked Pete.

"Well, I'm assuming that the Sues are here to participate in the race…"

"And you're absolutely right." A familiar voice said from the table, across form where the 3 agents was sitting. They looked in the direction of the voice, to find Anuhs Weedy, Beautirix in a white miniskirt, top, and high heels, a Sue with floor long, fire red hair and silver eyes, and a Stu with spiky, golden hair, and equally golden eyes. The Sue was wearing a short, ruby red dress with matching high heels. The Stu was dressed in a green T-shirt, a pair of jeans, and cowboy boots.

"How predictable. Now, will you tell us what you're here?" Pete asked.

"As if, 'cause in a few seconds, you'll all be dead." Anuhs said as he raised from his chair, and cracked his knuckles.

"Before you do that, let me make a suggestion." Pete said in a fit of panic.

Anuhs exhaled and sat down again and said "Okay, let me hear it.".

Thinking very quickly, Pete said "How about we, uh, make the race our battlefield, whenever one of you meets one of us and vice versa, either one can challenge the other to a duel. How does that sound to you?"

"That is the stupidest idea I have ever…" Beautirix managed say before Anuhs cut her off.

"Shut up Angelina." Anuhs said to the Sue, before he turned his attention to Pete and continued "I think it's a brilliant idea. In fact, I have an improvement for your idea, but I'll reveal that for you tomorrow." Anuhs and his posse left their table, and started heading for their rooms.

Pete raised from his own seat, and said "Anuhs, can I ask you one question."

"What is it?" Anuhs asked.

"Why did you call Beautirix, Angelina?".

"Because that's her name, Angelina Beautiri Falburo the 99th. Why, are you in love with her?" Anuhs asked back with an evil smile on his face.

"Screw you, I was just curious, now buzz of." Pete said in an annoyed tone, and gave the Gary-Stu a very impolite hand gesture. Anuhs and the other Sues just laughed, and walked off.

"Man I hate him." Pete said as he sat down again.

"I know how you feel, what is his problem anyway?" Doug asked.

"He seems to have gotten the idea that if he kills me, he kills me and Joes author." Pete said, and took a sip of his drink.

"He's that crazy?" Marcus asked, and also took a sip of his drink.

"Yep." Pete said.

"Hey watch out, watch OUUUUUUT." A voice suddenly yelled, and a man came flying down the stairs on a motorcycle.

"Is everyone just crazy around here?" Marcus asked.

"Nah, the really crazy ones left a minute ago." Pete said and finished his drink.

-

Morning came, and the 3 society agents was getting ready for the race. Pete was sitting in his room, thinking about why the Sues he was hunting had stopped warping the fandoms they entered. It was as if they had bigger plans than just becoming the most respected person in a fandom. After doing some careful thinking, he decided to tap into the universal knowledge, he had received from the indigo child. He sat down on his bed, and closed his eyes. At first, nothing happened, then suddenly he found himself standing in what looked like the universe, with galaxies, stars and planets flying by him. Pete looked around, and saw a huge screen behind him. As he walked up to the screen, it turned on and a face appeared on it. It was the face of Jade.

"Hello, receiver of the knowledge of the universe, what do you wish to know?" The face asked.

"I wish to know what it is the Sues I'm hunting is after." Pete said. Jades head nodded, and a sudden flash of light came from the screen. Pete rubbed his eyes and looked around. He was standing on a small piece of land in the middle of nowhere.

He suddenly heard someone speak, and he quickly looked around to see who it was. He saw Anuhs speaking to someone in the shadows. Pete walked a little closer to the two, not sure if they would see him or not. When they didn't, he walked all the way up to them and listened to what they were saying "So you have actually discovered a way to send Mary-Sues and Gary-Stus to the real world, without them loosing their powers?" Anuhs asked.

"Yes, but I can't leave this place, because of the spell my author put on me, but once the machine is completed, I can get rid of the spell that's holding me here, and finally get my revenge." The last word from the shadow sounded almost happy.

After the last word had been spoken, Pete was surrounded by light once again, and when he opened his eyes, he was back in his room "Wow, what a rush." Pete said, he got off his bed, grabbed his hat and jacket, and started to walk downstairs to meet up with Doug and Marcus.

-

The 3 agents was checking their cars, getting them ready for the trip. It seemed that the fandom had given them knowledge on the cars they had. After checking the cars, Doug asked "So, who else is driving in this race, Pete?"

"Well, I guess I can point out the most important drivers." Pete said. He pointed at an ambulance, where 2 men, dressed in medic driver uniforms, were talking, one of them was thin, and the other was chubby "That's J.J. McClure and Victor Prinzim, not much to say about them, except that victor has an alter ego called Captain Chaos, who he pulls out when he wants to act heroic."

Pete then pointed at a Rolls-Royce where an Arabian looking man was standing with 2 bodyguards "And that's the Sheik. He thinks he has the fastest car in the world, and he wants to prove it here in the race."

The next car to be pointed at was a red Ferrari, where a small black man, and a normal sized white man, dressed as priests, was arguing about something "And here we have Fenderbaum and Blake, they've put 20.000 dollars on themselves with stakes 50 to 1, so if they win they walk away with 1 million dollars."

The last car Pete pointed at was actually the Lamborghini that had passed them when they arrived in the fandom "And lastly, we have Jill and Marcie. They're just here for the thrill of the race, but they are pretty important to the storyline of the movie."

The 3 agents suddenly noticed Angelina walking towards them with some maps under her arm. She stopped a few feet away from them, and held the maps out to them, at arms length "Here." She said with a sour expression on her face.

"What's this?" Pete asked as he accepted the maps, and gave one to the other 2 agents.

"It's Anuhs brilliant idea, he set up fight points for us to meet at and beat each other up." Angelina said. Pete, Doug and Marcus looked at the maps, and sure enough, along the road to L.A. little X'es had been put to indicate the fight points "Well, bye." Angelina said and started to walk away from the agents.

"Wait." Pete said.

"What is it?." Angelina asked and turned around.

"How did you end up with an idiot like Anuhs. I mean he's not exactly your type, as far as I remember from the Asterix fandom?"

"He gave an offer that I simply couldn't say no to." Angelina said and walked away.

"Yeah, an offer you couldn't refuse." Pete said as he put the map in his car, and pulled out a soda.

-

Finally, evening came, and everyone who was participating in the cannonball race, was very exited about the coming event. One of the officials gathered everyone around and held a short speech about the race, and then send the first car off. Doug, Marcus and Pete went to their cars to discuss the last few details of their route. Just as they finished, Anuhs came walking over to them and said "Good luck with the race, and may the best and most perfect win." He finished the sentence with a grin that clearly showed his rotting teeth.

"Well then, I'll make sure to visit you in the holding cells, when we've prohibited you and your posse." Pete said, and smiled mockingly back.

"We'll see." Anuhs said and walked away again.

Pete turned to his fellow agents and said "Well, let's get this show on the road." Doug and Marcus nodded, and they jumped into their cars, waiting for it to be their turn.

Finally, one by one, they were called to the starting line, where they punched out and drove off into the night. By morning the met up at a gas station, where they got a bite to eat, before getting on the road again, with Pete at the back as a blocker, a person who could distract the police when they ran into them. (Trust me, in this movie, cops are everywhere.)

They soon did, and while Doug and Marcus got away, Pete did everything he could to get rid of the cops. During a sharp turn, the small machine, that Himuro had made back at the society, flew out of his pocket, and landed on the seat beside him. He picked it up and looked at it for a moment, wondering what it was, before he turned his attention back to the road and the cops. He put the pedal to the metal and put good deal of road between him and the police. He looked at the detonator looking device again, and made a quick decision to give it a try.

He pulled over, held up the machine, and said to himself "I sure hope, this is something good, Himuro."

He pressed the button, and a mechanical voice said "GENDER BENDING INITIATED, TRANSFORMATION WILL LAST FOR TEN MINUTES." The timer set itself to 10:00, and a quick flash of light came from the top of the machine.

"What was that?" Pete asked himself, however, his voice came out as that of a woman. He quickly took a look in the rearview mirror, only to see that his cowboy clothes had been replaced with a suit like the ones that Jill and Marcie had on, only his was green and white. His hair had become a little longer, and his body had become that of a woman. Pete took a look in the side mirror, and saw an officer nearing the car.

Pete quickly remembered how Jill and Marcie got rid of cops, so he zipped down the suit to expose himself, in the hopes that it would distract the police man, so he could get away from the scene, without a ticket, and the trick actually worked, and soon after, Pete was on the road again, trying to catch up to Doug and Marcus. He picked up the radio, and called his fellow agents "Doug, Marcus, are you there?"

"Who's this?" Marcus asked.

"Well, you might not believe this, but this is Pete."

"How can it be you, when you have a woman's voice?" Doug asked.

"You just gonna have to…" The timer on the Genderbender reached 0 and Pete was returned to his original self without knowing it, as he continued with his normal voice "Believe me.".

"Okay, how did you do that." Marcus asked, in a very confused tone of voice.

"One of Himuros little inventions, it switched my gender somehow, that's why my voice sounded different." Pete said, and held up the device "Anyway, how far are from me, I'm at highway marker…" He looked at the road, to see a marker with the number 68 written on it "68, what about you." He continued.

There was a small break, before Doug came on and said "We're at marker 69, and nearing the first fight point."

"Okay, I'll meet you there, as fast as I can." Pete said and hung up, and put the pedal to the metal to catch up with his fellow agents. Upon arriving at the fight point, Marcus was already locked in battle with the unnamed Sue of Anuhs' posse. Pete jumped out of his car and walked up to Doug "Did I miss much?" Pete asked

"Not all that much." Doug said and turned his attention back to the fight going on.

Marcus was doing pretty well, considering that he was fighting Sue. He used the Tiger talisman, around his neck, to split into emotion Marcus and thought Marcus. Thought Marcus used enchanted umbrellas to block the Sues attacks, which consisted of her hauling fireballs at the Marcuses, and making herself into metal, and use her nails for close combat. Emotion Marcus used the swords hidden in the umbrellas to attack at any given opportunity.

Thought Marcus suddenly noticed that the Sue was wearing a silver ring on her right hand, and a gold one on her left, and that she clenched her fists every time she used her powers "H-h-hey, d-d-destroy the r-rings. I-i-it will c-c-cause her t-t-to lose her p-p-powers!" Thought Marcus yelled to his emotion counterpart.

"Alright!" Emotion Marcus yelled back and started going for the rings, instead of the Sue. At first, he tried to cut off the fingers of the Sue, but due to her Sue powers, she easily dodged his attacks, and quickly counterattacked. From time to time, thought Marcus would step in an block an attack for his emotion counterpart. This continued for a good deal of time, before with a very lucky shot, emotion Marcus managed to actually cut through the ring on the Sues right hand, before getting kicked away by the Sue.

The Sue looked down at her finger, as what was left of the ring turned into dust. She then looked angrily at Marcus, who was getting up from the kick, before clenching her fist, flames surrounding her. The angry look turned into a smile, before she gathered all the fire around her into one big ball in her hand, which she then threw at emotion Marcus.

At the last second however, thought Marcus managed to get in front his counterpart, and blocked the attack with the umbrellas "G-g-go get her." Thought Marcus said to emotion Marcus, who nodded and ran around the shielding umbrellas with direction towards the Sue. He quickly reached the Sue, and after a few tries, he managed to cut off the other ring. After that, emotion Marcus quickly put a Prohibitor on the Sue and opened a plothole back to the society, which he then pushed her through.

"1 down, 3 to go." Emotion Marcus bellowed, before combining with his thought counterpart once again.
"So what, you still have to capture 3 of us, before you can call it a full load. And trust me, you won't." Anuhs said before he, Angelina, and the unnamed Stu walked back to their cars, and drove off to the next fight point.

"I guess we better get going as well." Pete said. Doug and Marcus nodded, and they soon left the place. Not long after, they made a stop at a gas station, to refuel, restock their supplies and get something to eat. It was also here that Pete told his fellow agents about the Genderbender.

"So this little thing will change your gender and outfit for 10 minutes?" Doug asked as he looked the small, homemade invention over.

"Yeah, at least in this fandom. I don't know how long it would work in another fandom, let alone in the library." Pete answered before taking a sip from his soda.

"But how did you make this?".

"I didn't, Himuro did.".

Who's Himuro?" Marcus asked.

"He's my other personality." Pete said, and started to explain who Himuro was.

The 3 agents was soon on the road again, this time with Marcus as the blocker. The 3 agents had agreed, that the one who was blocker, was to be armed with the Genderbender, in case the police showed up. So Pete had handed the invention over to Marcus before their departure.

Pete thought that the rest of the trip would be just them capturing the Sues, and then go back to the library, and do whatever they wanted to do. But as he was listening to some music on the radio, a rainbow colored portal suddenly opened in front of him "This doesn't happen in the movie." Pete got out, before he drove through the portal. It felt like driving through water, but without the 'getting wet' part. Pete drove to the side of the road, and looked back at the portal, which was disappearing into the ground again "What on earth was that?" He asked himself.

"I'll give you three guesses." A voice said beside him.

Petes head spun faster than the wheels on a formula 1, to see who had talked to him. It was a man, dressed in a WWII style uniform, he also had a military style helmet modeled after a grasshopper, and around his waist, was a crude looking, electronic belt, making him look like a prototype rider "Who are you?" Pete asked in disbelief.

"The name's Jessie Arc, aka Warhopper." Jessie said.

"Aha, and where are you from?" Pete asked as he sat back in his seat.

"I'm from our authors mind." Jessie said and pulled his seat back, so he could put his feet on the dash board.

"So you're one of his thoughts made real, and he's send you to help us, am I right about that?" Pete asked as he started the car up again.

"Yeah, but how do you know?".

"Let's just say, I know how he's thinking." Pete said before putting the pedal to the metal and drove off to make up for the lost time. Pete and Jessie soon caught up to Doug and Marcus, and after a brief introduction, they drove the last couple of miles to the fight point, where they, not surprisingly were greeted by Anuhs and his posse.

"Okay, let's get this over with." Anuhs said, and nodded to the unnamed Stu, who stepped out, cracking his knuckles in the process.

"So, who wanna take care of this one?" Pete asked.

"I'll take him." Doug said, walking onto the field, drawing his knife as he did, and morphing it into his sword. The Stu didn't seem the least bit intimidated, in fact, he just stood there, not saying a word, or cracking any jokes "You're pretty quiet, aren't you." Doug said.

The Stu just barred his teeth, and suddenly, his hair started rising, like it had become static, and electricity was visibly trailing over his skin and hair. The Stu whipped out his right hand, and a bolt of lightning shot from it.

The bolt hit its target, which was Doug's sword, sending a shock through him. With help from his halfling powers, he quickly got back to his feet, transformed his sword back into a knife, and instead grabbed his rifle, and started shooting at the Stu.

The Stu however, made an electric field around himself, and melted the bullets before they could hit him. At last Doug gave on hurting the Stu through use of his rifle, and turned back to using his knife, not transforming it this time, in CQC (Close quarters combat) which actually worked very well, because the Stu discharged his electricity a lot faster when he was fighting someone up close, and it also took him longer to charge up his energy. But his hand-to-hand combat skills was far better than Doug's, so even though Doug was good when it came to knife fighting, it was still hard to land any punches on the Stu.

As Doug was doing his best to fight the Stu, Pete had gotten an idea for how to get a prohibitor on the Stu. He found a block of paper and a pen in his pocket, and quickly scribbled down a few words, and waited for the right moment to give it to Doug. At last, the Stu punched Doug hard enough, to send him flying. He landed in front of Pete, who helped him up, and as he did, he slipped him the note, and whispered in his ear "Read the note, when he attacks." Doug nodded, and out on the field again, while unfolding the note.

The Stu had charged up for another attack, and as he was about to throw another bolt of electricity, when Doug read the note "Big lipped alligator moment." A flash of light came, together with a puff sound, and suddenly, the surroundings was filled with yodeling music. Everybody looked around, and what met them was the Stu, dressed in a tutu, lederhosen and a sombrero, while he was dancing a ballet "What the hell is that." Was all that Doug could say.

"It's a big lipped alligator moment, it's basically a moment in a movie, that's over the top, has nothing to do with the story and no one wants to talk about afterwards. But let's talk about it later, put a prohibitor on him before the moment ends." Pete yelled. Doug nodded, and quickly clamped a prohibitor on the Stus wrist, before he sent him through a plothole, back to the society.

"Well, I guess that was that, we'll see you at the…" Anuhs didn't get to finish the sentence, before the Sues cars was blown up by Pete, who had activated his Lightdrake suit, and was now standing with his laser guns in his hands.

"No, we will not see you at the next spot, 'cause we're taking you down, and back to the society right now." Pete said. He and Jessie started walking towards the Sues, while Doug and Marcus readied 2 prohibitors to put on them when the time was right. Jessie had taken out 2 very long knifes, for him to fight with, plus, he had spun a disk that was installed in the buckle on his belt, which activated 2 Teslacoils on the belt, and started producing electricity.

Anuhs looked from the 2 riders, to the cars and back again, before he said "Angelina, take care of them, I'll get the parts." Angelina nodded, and started engaging in a hand to hand combat with Pete and Jessie. Anuhs hurried over to the remains of the car, and started looking in what was left of the trunks. He became very happy, when he discovered that the contents of the trunks, hadn't been destroyed. He quickly opened a plothole, and started throwing the tech parts through it.

Angelina proved to a tough opponent, she was easily taking on the 2 riders in brutal fist fight. Jessie and Pete did their best to defend themselves against the onslaught of punches and kicks, that was coming from the Sue. The riders tried to get her by doing a double attack, but Angelina knew how deal with that sort thing. She did a quick handstand, and spread her legs, making Pete and Jessie run straight into her feet, knocking the air out of them. Angelina then continued the attack by rotating, before sending the 2 riders flying. She giggled as she stood up and said "I thought you were good at fighting Pete, but you're nothing.".

"Or else you're just an idiot." Pete said as he and Jessie up "Mind giving me a bust?" Pete asked Jessie.

"Not at all." Jessie said as he folded his hands so Pete could stand up in it.

"Now what're you gonna do, acrobatics?" Angelina asked mockingly.

"Something like it." Pete said, before Jessie launched him into the air. While in the air, he drew his laser guns and started firing at the ground around the Sue, creating a dust cloud. This gave Jessie an opportunity to make a sliding, electrical tackle, which both shocked her and made her fall to the ground.

"Let's do this." Jessie said and gave the disk in his belt a more powerful spin, giving the Teslacoils even more power.

"Right." Pete replied and opened the buckle on his belt, making electricity travel from the lens to his foot. The 2 riders ran up to Angelina and kicked her while she was still dizzy from their earlier attack.

She landed near Anuhs, who was throwing the last tech part through the plothole. She slowly got to her feet and asked him "Are you done.".

Anuhs turned to Angelina and said with a perfect, evil smile on his face "Yes, and so are you." He took hold on Angelina, and threw her into the incoming society agents "Hope you enjoy your stay in the slammer tuts, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha." Anuhs said before jumping into the plothole, still laughing like crazy.

"I'll get back at you Weedy, you son of a bitch, I swear it!" Angelina yelled, as Doug clamped a prohibitor onto her wrist.

-

"So Anuhs Weedy got away, by throwing one of his own at you?" Tash asked, and looked up from the report, to the 4 people standing in front of her.

"Yes, but maybe we have a chance to know where he will strike next." Pete said.

"Aha, how?".

"Angelina, the one Anuhs threw after us, seems willing to betray him, after the way he treated her. So maybe if, maybe I talked to her a little, we could get one step ahead of the enemy." Pete suggested.

Tash seemed to think about the suggestion for a moment, before she said "Do it. We need all the help we can get, and if a Sue is willing to betray one of its own, it will only be to our advantage." Pete nodded, before he, Doug, Marcus and Jessie started walking out of the office "By the way Pete." Tash said.

"Yes." Pete said as he stopped at in the door, and turned to look at the society leader.

"What are you going to do about that character, your author send to help you out?".

"I guess he could crash in my room while he's here."

"Good, it's just so we know where we have him." Tash said, before going back to work. Pete nodded and started to walk towards the holding cells.

-

Angelina looked up as she heard the door to her cell open. It was Pete and Jessie who walked into the cell. Jessie was carrying a chair for himself, and Pete was carrying one for himself, and one for Angelina. Pete sat his chairs down, and gestured for Angelina to sit on one of them, which she did "What're you doing down here?" She asked.

"As weird as it may sound, we need your help." Pete said as he also sat down.

"The society, needs my help?" Angelina asked, surprised.

"You might be the only one who knows where Anuhs will surface next time. And you did say you wanted to get back at him, and well, here is your chance.".

"And what do I get out of it, I don't suppose you could…".

"No, even if I wanted to, I couldn't just take off the prohibitor, and let you escape. But maybe there is something I can do.".

"And that is?".

"I'll have to talk to somebody about it first, but if you give me the info I need, I'll do everything in my power to get you out, deal?" Pete asked, and held out a hand.

Angelina looked at the hand for a moment, before she finally took it and said "Deal, I don't exactly have much to loose." Angelina then told Pete which fandom Anuhs would pop up in next.

-

After telling Tash where to search for Anuhs, and showing Jessie where his room was, Pete opened the door to his room. He had to talk to his author personally, not just through a computer screen, and so he had made a quick decision, to take a trip to his authors mind world. He reached in between 2 bookcases, and pulled out a book, that was almost as big as he was. The book had a slot on the front, with 8 circles around it, making it look like some sort of code lock. He took the book under his arm, and went out of the room, heading in the direction of the library.

Pete was in such a hurry, to get to the library, that he didn't notice Charis coming around a corner, and crashed into her, falling on top of her.

"Hey, watch it." Charis said harshly. She then noticed who it was, and a light blush came to her cheeks.
"I'm sorry." Pete said, also sporting a slight blush. He got of Charis, and helped her up.

Charis said dusted herself off and asked "Where were you going in such a hurry?".

"I can't really tell you, I, I gotta go." Pete said, and quickly walked off, still a little red around the cheeks.
Charis looked after Pete for a moment, before she started walking her own way. She suddenly noticed something laying on the floor, which hadn't been there before. She picked it up, and what do you know, it was the gender bender "Pete must have dropped this, I better find him and give it back." Charis said to herself and started walking in the direction Pete had.

Pete entered an empty part of the library (Yeah, it's farfetched, but he had to go somewhere for Charis to follow). He went all the way to the back of the room, and put the book on a table. He then pulled the side of the books cover, to reveal a hidden compartment, in which a glowing blue, credit card like object was hidden. He took out the card, and closed the compartment. He then put the card into the slot, and started turning it, like you would on a safe.

Meanwhile, Charis had entered the same part of the library. She had seen the Pete walk in there at the last second, and followed him inside. She found him at the end of the room, messing around with the book, he had with him, but she couldn't clearly see what he was doing. She walked a few steps closer and asked "What're you doing Pete?".

Pete had just made the last turn of the dial, when he heard Charis talking to him. He quickly turned to tell her to go away, but it was too late. The book started glowing, and the card was absorbed into the book. The book opened and surrounded Pete and Charis with blue light, before sucking them both into it. The book closed up and disappeared also. The book reappeared in a very futuristic building, where it simply opened and spread its blue light across the floor, and made Pete and Charis reappear again.

Pete groaned as he stood up "I hate this way of traveling." He suddenly remembered Charis, and went over to check on her "Charis, are okay?" He asked.

Charis looked up at Pete with a mix of being surprised and sick "What happened, and why do I feel so sick?"

"I guess it's because we just got sucked/squeezed into another world." Pete said as he helped Charis sit up against the wall "You want something to drink?" Pete asked.

Charis nodded, and Pete went over to a vending machine, and soon came back with a couple of sodas. They stayed like this for a few minutes, until Charis felt well enough to stand up "So, where are we?" She asked, as she looked out one of the window, at the futuristic city.

"We're in my authors mind world." Pete said, and also looked out the window.

"It's really beautiful.".

"Yeah, it is." Pete looked at his watch and said "We better get going." He picked up the book, and went over to a disk that was floating in the middle of the room. He touched the disk, and a map, made out of rings appeared. He quickly aligned the rings, so they created a path to where his author was. The map was absorbed into the disk, and a section of the wall opened to reveal a tube with some sort of electronic rings around it "This way." Pete said as he started walking towards the tube.

"What is that?" Charis asked in awe as she looked at the tube.

"It's an A.G. tube, it's the transport system of this city." Pete said and jumped into the tube, where he stopped in midair, and stayed there "You coming, Charis?" He asked.

Charis nodded, and also jumped into the tube, where Pete instructed her to do a swimming motion, through the first ring. She did so, and when they passed through the ring, they were shot through the tube, as if out of a cannon. As they passed through the tube, Charis looked at the city and all its futuristic technology (You know, hover cars, robots, that sort of thing) and asked "Where do the city get its power from?"

"From the underground, they pump magma up from the earth, let it go under huge boilers, which boils the water in those boilers, the steam goes through a turbine, which makes the electricity, the city needs." Pete explained.

They were about to exit the tube, when Charis asked "Uh, Pete, how you stop this thing?".

"Don't worry." Pete said. At that moment, they were shot out of the tube, and landed in a pool of what looked and felt like jelly.

"Ew, what on earth is this?" Charis asked as she took a handful of the green, jelly like substance, and looked at it.

"It's called jell protect, and even though it looks like jelly, don't eat it, unless you wanna spend all day tomorrow in the bathroom." Pete said as he got out of the pool, and helped Charis out as well. After a short walk, Pete and Charis stopped in front of a huge set of doors "You better stay here, if you want to you can use the computer over there to go on the internet." Pete said and pointed at the computer a little away from them. Charis nodded, and went over to the computer. Pete went over to the doors, and opened a normal size door in one of the big ones, and went inside.

"What're you doing here?" The author asked as he got out of the bed he was laying on, putting a on it as he did so.

"I had to talk to you personally, I didn't want anyone eavesdrop on me while I talked to you." Pete said as he walked closer to his author.

"Well then, sit down." The author said, and gestured to 2 comfortable leather chairs. The both sat down, and the author asked "So, what was it you wanted to talk to me about Pete?"

"Well, you see…" Pete started to tell the author about what had happened in the Cannonball run fandom, and in Angelinas cell "So, you think you could do something for Angelina, and help us out in the next fandom?" Pete asked.

"I will see what I can do, but I will do something, I just have to find the right things. But take this and click it when something comes up." The author handed Pete a beacon, which looked like a round piece of metal, with a single button, and a small light attached to it.

"I will, and thanks." Pete said, and put the beacon in his pocket.

"Hey, if I didn't help the things I create, what kind of author would I be." The author said, as he got out of the chair, and walked back to the bed. Once there, he turned and said "Good luck Pete."

"Thank you, author." Pete said, and started walking to the door. When he reached the door, he looked back at the author, who lied down on the bed and started reading again. Pete just smiled, and walked out of the room.

The portal book reappeared in the empty part of the library, and spat out Charis and Pete. After catching their breath, Pete quickly said "Well, I better get back." And started walking out of the room with the book under his arm.

"Wait." Charis exclaimed. Pete turned around, and looked at her. Charis took out the Genderbender and said "You dropped this when we bumped into each other, that's why I followed you."

"Gee, thanks Charis." Pete said and returned to take the piece of equipment with him. But when he wrapped his hand around the device, he also wrapped it around Charis' hand, making them both blush. As they stood like this, Pete was thinking 'Oh god, why do this always happen when we accidentally touch, why, why. Could it be that I've come to love her, after that time where Marcus embarrassed us, no, could it, I'm not sure, I gotta do something, do something Pete, do something.'

As if on instinct, Pete slipped his other hand around Charis' neck, and pulled her into a deep, loving kiss. They stood like this for a few, long moments, before Pete realized what he was doing. He broke the kiss, and pulled away from Charis "I, I'm sorry." Pete said sheepishly, almost expecting a slap on the cheek from Charis.

"Don't be." Charis said, with a smile on her face "If you hadn't done it, I might have. I guess we both have developed feelings for each other."

Pete smiled at what Charis was saying. He then pulled Charis into another kiss, and once they finished, he asked her "So, do you think we should let the others know?".

"Let's keep them guessing for a little while longer, it'll much more fun to see the reaction when they find out." Charis said. Pete nodded. They then said goodbye to each other, and left the room, going in a different direction.
