Insert Assassins in Italy Here

(Note: There will be some dialog in Danish in this fic, with translations into English after the * symbols.)

Pete and Joe were standing in front of each other, in one of the Society's training rooms, getting ready for some morning combat training. They had a bamboo sword in each hand, kendo helmets on their heads and they were dressed in black training pants "Okay let's go over this one more time just so we're clear, first one to get hit on the upper body loses." Pete said.

"Exactly, now let's get started." Joe said and immediately used his force jump to propel him into the air, his swords raised and ready to strike. Pete crossed his swords in an effort to block Joe's obvious attack. What he didn't count on, was that Joe only used one sword to hit the block, before landing and using his other sword to swipe at Pete.

Pete quickly caught on to Joe's strategy and jumped to the side, dodging Joes attack in the process. He quickly got to his feet and said "Nice move Joe, but I'm not letting you win that easily." Pete tossed one of his swords into the air, before throwing the other one directly at Joe. He started running towards Joe, catching the sword as he ran, the 'blade' pointing downwards.

Joe deflected the thrown sword, and was ready to do the same to Pete. But instead of going for the obvious slash, Pete switched direction and headed for his discarded sword instead "What the hell." Joe said, and without thinking, he used his force jump to reach the sword first.

Pete saw Joe landing, and made a quick decision to keep running, and see what happened. Joe raised his swords to swing at his opponents' side. Pete raised his own sword and blocked the slash, he then slid down the 'blades' and delivered a hit to Joes side, and thus ending the fight "Nice tactic there, making me go for you, so you could hit me." Joe said and touched knuckles with Pete.

"What tactic, I just wanted my sword back." Pete said as he picked up his own sword.

"Well, I guess that was pretty idiotic of me." Joe said, tapping one of his swords against the floor, thinking about what to do next. He put the sword over his shoulder, and held up the other one, ready to attack, and asked "Rematch?".

Pete held up his own swords and said "You're on." He then ran up to Joe and started exchanging sword blows with him.

The two continued fighting for another half hour (Insert training montage and music here), before they sat down and had a drink of water. They then went to the kitchen to get some breakfast, but they had hardly filled their bowls with cereal and milk, when the door was opened by Michael, who was carrying a mission file under his arm "Hey guys, sorry to disturb you during breakfast, but we got an urgent mission for you in the Assassin's creed fandom."

Joe took a spoonful of cereal and asked "Which of the games is it?" He then put the spoon in his mouth and started chewing.

Michael quickly opened the file and said "It's the one called 'Brotherhood', and the Sue is one you've met before, Joe."

Joe almost choked on the cereal, but managed to swallow it, before he said the name of the Sue, who beat him in the 'Fantastic four' fandom "Devlina."

"Exactly, and it seems she's found a partner in crime, a level 5 Sue, Two levels lower than herself. Also we've detected some weird readings all over Rome."

"Weird. How are the readings weird?" Pete asked.

"We don't know. They look like some sort characters, but they seem incomplete, and there's two with a completely different signature from anything else inside the fandom, it's really weird.".

"Yeah, that really sounds weird." Joe said before taking another spoonful of his cereal. After accepting the mission, Michael left the room, leaving the two agents to finish their breakfast. Joe turned to his friend and asked "Could it be that Devlina is in possession of the ideas, that was stolen from our author?"

"It is a possibility, but I wonder what was up with those two unknown signatures." Pete said. The two finished their breakfast, and then went to their rooms to get their gear, and they were soon on their way to begin their mission.

O-O-O

The two agents screamed as they fell out of the plothole and into the river that surrounded the Tiber Island. Joe was the first to resurface, followed closely by Pete. He spit out the water he had gotten in his mouth and said "I'm starting to hate water, I mean, first World of warcraft and now this."

Pete did the same as his partner and said "Me too, I hope our next mission is in a desert." The agents swam to Tiber Island, where they took a moment on the small dock, to see what roles they had been assigned this time around, and were pleasantly surprised to see that they had become assassin novices. They looked at their left wrists and smiles spread across their faces, because on their wrists, a hidden blade was mounted "This is gonna the best mission ever." Pete said as he flicked his wrist, to make the blade spring forth.

"Yeah, I'm just wondering if we could smuggle these out of the fandom." Joe said as he too admired the small mechanical device on his wrist.

"Well, we should be able to, since it's never explained where the novices get them from." Pete said and retracted the blade with another flick of his wrist. The agents climbed the docks stairs to street level, where they started walking towards one of the bridges that lead into the actual city of Rome "So, where should we start looking for our Sueish foes?" Pete asked as they walked through the city, trying their best not to attract attention.

"Well, if I was a Mary Sue, in a world more or less controlled by the church, I would try to become the highest ranking of said church, even though it makes absolutely no sense in actual history. So I'd say we should try the Vatican first." Joe said as he stopped to look at some weapons that were on sale in one of the shops.

"Right, we'll start there then." Pete said as he looked out for any guards. He suddenly noticed something that totally didn't fit into the world. The something turned out to be a man, dressed as a mad scientist, and a person draped in a green cloak, which looked like something from the middle ages. Pete tapped Joe on the shoulder, all the while all the while keeping an eye on the two mysterious persons, and asked "Do you see, what I see, Joe?"

Joe looked up from a display of knives and looked in the direction; his partner was looking, all the while getting a confused expression on his face "Well, if you're seeing doctor Insano, who's armed to the teeth and the green version of Raven from teen titans, then I'm seeing exactly what you're seeing." Joe said as he rolled up his sleeve to expose the biosuit containment unit.

"I guess I'm not crazy after all. You think that could be the two signals, they couldn't identify?" Pete asked as he summoned his rider belt, ready to activate it if something went wrong.

"I'm pretty much convinced that it is." Joe said and pulled his badge out of his item pouch and started walking towards the two. Pete got his own badge out and walked after his partner.

O-O-O

"Ooooh look at this, Doctor." Ashlin said as she held up a picture of a demon and an angel, fighting one another.

Neosano looked up from a collection of small metal figurines in the stall next to the one with the paintings, and said "That is very nice indeed; it would look good on one of the walls in your room." He reached into one of his coats pockets and found a small pouch with small gold discs in it, and started negotiating with the seller.

They had just gotten to an agreement, and Neosano had just paid for the painting, when a voice spoke up behind the two "You two, turn around.".

The two companions turned around to see a pair of young men dressed in white, standing behind them, holding a badge out at them in their right hand "Whoa, I didn't know that art critics needed badges to identify themselves.".

"We're not art critics…" One of the men said, who was wearing a strange bracelet on his right wrist "We are the Anti-cliché and Mary Sue elimination society; we are arresting you on suspicion of fandom manipulation. Now, are you going to follow us, or do we have to get rough?" The man held up, what looked like a pair of silver bracelets.

"And please say you'll follow us; I'm a bit tired today." The other man said, he was wearing a weird ornamental belt.

The doctor and troll looked at each other, both raising an eyebrow. Ashlin then looked at the two men and asked "What are you guys talking about?"

Now it was the two men's turn to look at each other, and the man with the belt asked "You haven't heard of us?"

"Never before in our lives." Ashlin said, folding her arms over her chest.

Neosano was thinking about what the man with the bracelet had said, and it finally dawned to him "Eureka!" He yelled.

"What's up Doc?" Ashlin asked, interested in what her companion had found out.

"I've just figured out what is going on here. Ashlin, we are in a dimension, consisting of two worlds, the normal planet Earth, and a world where games, movies and literature in all its forms come to life, and where authors can either enter themselves, or send in their own constructs…" Neosano said, clapping his hands out of pure giddiness "And some of these constructs and authors has banded together and formed some sort of police force to take down unfriendly elements in the fictional world, oh my god it's so awesome."

"Yes, that is very awesome." Ashlin said, a brief smile coming to her lips, before she became serious again and asked "But what do you suggest that we do about our current situation."

"Oh right." Neosano turned to the two agents and said "I think an introduction is in order, I'm Dr. Neosano, or as I'm known in my home dimension, Dr. Felix Nielsen; and this is my companion, the beautiful Ashlin of Jutland…" He gestured to the troll, who smiled and bowed her head to greet the agents, before he continued "And we are dimensional travelers; now, may I ask who you are?"

The two men looked at each other of a moment, before they turned around and started whispering, apparently they were deciding what to do about the situation; after a minute or so of whispering, they turned around and the man with the bracelet said "My name is Joe Andersen."

"And I'm Pete Jackson." The man with the belt said; there was a moment of silence, before Pete asked "So, if you're not here cause trouble, what are you here to do?"

"We're just here to travel a bit, maybe pick up a few souvenirs, and then jump on to the next dimension, that's all." Neosano said, putting the pouch back in his pocket, as he had been distracted by the agents that he first now remembered that he was holding it.

Pete and Joe looked at each other for a moment, making a silent decision on what to do about the situation. Joe then looked at the duo while Pete started to walk away, pulling something out of his pocket "Just remember, if you try to change anything in this world, no matter how good an idea it seems to be, we'll come and arrest you." Joe said, making sure that the duo understood that he was serious about his threat.

Neosano nodded; he knew from his exploits of the multiverse that you often had to follow certain rules, or else you could end up in prison, or worse, dead "We understand, don't we Ashlin?" He asked his companion.

"Of course, this is your world after all." Ashlin said and gave the agent a small nod along with a small smile.

"Good then, have a nice trip through our universe." Joe said and shook hands with the doctor and the troll, before hurrying to Pete's side, listening to him finishing off his live report to the observation room.

"Yes I'm serious, they were actual dimensional travelers." Pete said into his communicator.

"Are they gonna be a problem for us?" The voice of Michael asked at the other end.

"They said that they were here to do some sightseeing around the multiverse, and they haven't done anything so far to corrupt the fandom in any way, so I think we should leave them alone for now, but if they do something that corrupts a fandom, we'll prohibit them and bring them in for questioning."

"Okay, I just hope it's the right decision on your part, it wouldn't be good if it turned out that they were out to take over a fandom, and you could have stopped them before they did any damage."

"I wouldn't worry about it, they seemed pretty friendly, and all they've done so far is buying a picture as a souvenir, and that's it, and if all goes well, that'll be all we hear from them."

"Okay then, over and out." Michael said and got off the channel.

"Over and out." Pete said and put the communicator back in his pocket. He turned to Joe and said "Well, let's go find our actual problems." Joe nodded and the two continued their walk through the city.

O-O-O

"You know, I've just remembered something." Joe said as they passed the 'Rosa in fiore' brothel on their way to the Vatican.

"And that is?" Pete asked.

"It's been more than 2 years since we were created." Joe said and smiled.

Pete thought it over and realized that his friend was right "Yeah, you're right, but a lot has happened after we were created." He said with the same smile as Joe.

"Yeah, me disappearing into the multiverse, the whole Anus Weedy affair, and you getting together with Charis." Joes smile became a bit smugger at the last statement.

Pete shaked his head, he had known for some time that most, if not all, of the Society knew about his and Charis' relationship, but luckily, no one had found out about how far the relationship had progressed. He chuckled briefly and asked "Where did you hear it from?".

"All around the library, but nobody seems to know how far the two of you are, relationship wise." Joe said as he sat down on a bench, Pete doing the same.

"Good, that's how we want it for the moment, but would you mind if we spoke Danish for the rest of this conversation? Just in case they're listening in on our conversation in the observation room." Pete asked and looked up slightly as a small army of guards started to pass them.

"Selvfølgelig ikke, det her er jo rimelig personligt for dig."* Joe said and as the guards passed them, the two got up and started tailing them, their guts telling them that they might find Devlina if they did. (*Of course not, it is pretty personal for you.)

"Tak; nåh, hvad var det du ville vide?"* Pete asked. One of the guards looked back at them and they stopped, and blended into the crowd by sitting down on another bench to avoid an unnecessary fight. After a moment, the guard turned back and the two agents got back up and continued their tailing of the guards. (*Thanks; well, what was it you wanted to know.)

"Jeg ville gerne vide hvor I egentlig er i jeres forhold.".* (*I wanted to know how far you actually are in your relationship.)

Pete looked a little uncomfortable at the request and said "Det, det kan jeg ikke fortælle dig Joe.".* (*I, I can't tell you that Joe.)

"Årh kom nu, hvor langt er I, går I i seng med hinanden eller hvad."* Joe asked, giving his friend a pleading look. (*Oh come on, how far are you guys, are you sleeping with each other or what.)

Pete's gaze fell to the ground and he said "Joe, jeg, jeg er ked af det, men jeg har lovet Charis at holde kæft om det indtil vi begge føler os klar til at fortælle de andre om det. Men, jeg kan fortælle dig at jeg personligt føler mig klar til at tage vores forhold et skridt længere."*. (*Joe, I, I'm sorry, but I've promised Charis that I'd shut up about it until we both feel ready to tell the others about it. But, I can tell you that I personally feel ready to take our relationship a step further.)

"Kunne det tænkes at det skridt involverer en ring af en art?"* Joe asked with a grin on his face. (*Could it be that said step involved a ring of some kind?)

Pete blushed a tiny bit, before he sighed and said "Ja det gør, men hvis du siger det til nogen, så slår jeg dig ihjel, forstået." (Yes it does, but if you tell anyone, I'm gonna kill you, got it.)

"Klart og tydeligt."* Joe said with a friendly smile, which soon turned wicked as he turned his attention to the guard and asked "Ready to raise hell?". (*loud and clear.)

"Always." Pete said with an equally wicked grin as the guards came to a stop and started fanning out in front of the bridge that lead to the Vatican.

"What do you think is going to happen here?" Joe asked as he watched more people gathering behind the guards, who were whispering excitedly amongst each other.

Pete looked around and suddenly spotted a woman dressed a lot like he and Joe were; he let his gaze drift to the roofs and spotted other people in similar clothing. He tapped Joe on the shoulder, and he looked in the same direction as Pete "My guess would be that it has something to do with Ezio, and possibly the piece of Eden."

Joe nodded and looked back in the direction of the Vatican as the mumbling of the gathered people became louder; down the bridge came Devlina, dressed in a long, flowing, purple dress with lots of golden markings on it, and on her head was beautiful headdress made out of gold with a purple veil which was decorated with pearls, all of which looked amazingly gorgeous on her. Alongside her walked what looked like a little girl, probably the second Sue, as she looked impossibly cute and was dressed similar to Devlina, only her dress and veil was red and her headdress was adorned with rubies; she had big, blue eyes that looked as innocent as a puppy, and her hair was a beautiful platinum blonde. Behind them was a group of fourteen shadowy beings, who were probably the missing ideas that Pete and Joes author had been talking about. They dressed in renaissance clothing, both female and male; they were walking obediently after the two sues in two neat lines. And finally at the back were a squad of ten guards surrounding Ezio Auditore da Firenze, who was still dressed in his assassins gear, though without any of his weapons, and he was I chains "I don't like where this is going." Joe said as the procession came to a stop in front of the bridge, the ideas stepping to the side, making room for the guards to step behind Devlina and the little girl Sue.

The two agents suddenly heard a low beeping noise coming from their personas; Joe reached into his item pouch and Pete into one of the pocket like pouches on his belt, and pulled out the silver sphere they had received from their author; it stopped beeping as soon as their fingers touched them. They pulled the spheres out and they opened up, revealing a blue lens. They looked through the spheres like they were small binoculars and the assumed ideas lit up with a blue outline, confirming their suspicion. Pete and Joe replaced the spheres and went back to see how things went with Ezio and the Sue "You think Devlina has the piece of Eden?" He asked to his former statement.

"I sure as hell hope she doesn't, but with our luck, she probably has it…" Joe said, flexing his fingers in eagerness to fight the hated Sue once again "But we could hope that she has left it in the citadel.".

"By all that is holy, let's hope so, because I have no intention of dying today." Pete agreed.

Devlina stepped forward and spread her arms out to silence the crowd, which by now consisted of half the people in the area, probably even some from other areas of the city; the crowd immediately went silent and she started speaking in a very dramatic tone of voice, along with a stereotypical Italian accent "People of Roma, after months of searching, I have finally and personally captured the most dangerous man in all of Italy, Ezio Auditore…" She gestured to the chained up man behind her. She turned back to the crowd and continued even more dramatically "Who has been sentenced to death by crucifixion by our high lord himself.".

"That really doesn't sound good, if Ezio dies, Desmond will die and then the series ends right then and there." Joe said, rolling up his sleeve so he could easily get to the biosuit.

"Yeah, and I think now is a good time to interfere." Pete said as he and Joe made their way through the crowd; they punched the guards that was blocking their way and stepped out onto the small square.

"Assasino, how dare you show yourself here?" Devlina yelled in a perfect hysterical tone and drew a pair of small swords that she had mounted to her lower back. Pete and Joe didn't say anything but kept walking until they were right in front of her; they smiled under their hoods when they heard what sounded like an eagle and several of the guards fell limply to the ground; behind them stood the assassin recruits with blades, axes and hidden blades drawn, the crowd behind them fleeing out of fear that they would get the same treatment as the guards.

"Guess you haven't been here very long since the brotherhood is still willing to go against you." Joe said and he and Pete pulled down their hoods.

"You." Devlina said, her voice dripping venom; she turned to the guards who were holding Ezio and said "Two of you stay with the prisoner, everyone else, kill the assassins." The guards did as they were told and went to try and kill the assassins. She turned to the little girl and said "Anna, take 2 of the ideas and get rid of the blond one, I'll personally take care of the other one.".

Anna nodded and waved 2 of the male ideas over and they advanced on Pete, drawing swords and guns as they did so "You are dead now agent." Anna said and lashed out with her small swords as she talked.

"We'll see about that. Henshin, darkness." Pete said as he dodged the little Sues attack, the buckle on his belt opened and released the nanobots inside it, and soon after, he was in his upgraded Darkhopper suit; he unsheathed the swords on his back and blocked the 2 ideas follow-up attack. He kicked them away, and went back into defense as Anna jumped over the ideas, and lashed out at him; he caught her swords and for a short time they were locked in a battle for dominance, which Anna held up in very well "So, is Anna all there is to your name?" Pete asked, wanting to probe pint sized Sue for information, and gave a hard push, which made the little Sue jump back, but he didn't get any time to rest, as the ideas came at him right after the Sue was out of his reach.

"Of course there is." Anna said snobbishly and grinned as she went in for another attack "My full name is Anna Hannah Maria Conda the 69th." She said, emphasizing every word with a slash. Pete was lucky that the swords were bade to cut humans and not something stronger, because the slashes just bounced off his armor, leaving a trail of sparks in their wake, but otherwise he wasn't hurt.

Pete kicked the legs out from under one of the ideas and impaled it through the stomach, nailing it to the ground; it moaned and thrashed around for a moment, before its arms fell to its side, the only indication that it was still alive was the constant flexing of its gloved fingers. Pete turned and the other idea caught him square in the face with a very hard punch which managed to send him flying, and landing a few meters away, making him drop his sword as he did so. Anna jumped on top of Pete, attempting to stab him through the 'eyes' of his helmet; panicking, Pete lifted his right arm and blocked the blades "So your name would essentially be Anna Conda?" He asked, actually fighting to keep the mini Sue from stabbing him.

"Yes, and?" Anna asked in an irritated tone.

Pete then started to laugh hysterically, both at the fact that Anna wasn't very tall, and at the sexual undertones associated with the name. Pete's outbreak of laughter confused the Sue long enough for him to push her off him, hard. He retrieved his sword and started a one on one fight with the idea.

While this was happening, Joe was in combat with Devlina; Joe using his biosuit and force lightning and Devlina her swords and her divine light. At some point, Joe blocked both of Devlina's swords and tried to force her back, but the Sue was still quite a bit stronger than him, but she held back a little to make some conversation with her enemy "You've learned some new tricks since we last met.".

"Well, you have to, to defeat guys like you." Joe said and dropped to the ground, performing a sweeping kick, that sent her crashing to the ground; he quickly got up and reshaped his claws into shields, and started punching at the Sue, but due to her Sueish luck, she avoided every single punch he threw at her, and when she got up, she didn't have anything resembling a scratch, and her dress didn't have a speck of dust on it.

"But you're still no match for me." Devlina said smirked at the agent who slowly retracted the claws into his suit.

Joe moved closer to the docks while concentrating his force powers into the water, slowly creating a sphere out of it. As he did this, he noticed that two of the assassin recruits had broken through the guards and was heading towards their leader "I think you're about to lose what you have been working so hard to accomplish." He said as he lifted the water sphere up.

"What?" Devlina asked and looked in the direction that Joe had, to see the two guards who were holding Ezio being cut down by the recruits, who immediately started freeing their leader.

The distraction was just what Joe needed. He hurled the water at the Sue, releasing it and thus leaving a trail all the way to the Sue, the last of it splashing against her dress and pooling around her "Gotcha." Joe said and smiled evilly.

Devlina turned back as soon as she felt the water on her; it had been cold, but otherwise there had been nothing special about the attack "What are you trying to do, give me a cold?" She asked mockingly.

"No, I'm trying to make you dance." Joe said before quickly sliding his claws out and sticking them into the water; he released his force lightning into the water in an attempt to electrocute the purple clad Sue. The novices finally freed their leader, and helped him across the small square; Ezio was amazed at the two novices that had shown abilities that only the apple of Eden could surpass.

Devlina screamed as she was zapped by the powerful lightning, and in pure Sueish reflex she released an orb of her divine light, which happened to fly directly at Joe. The blast hit him right in the chest and made him stumble back and fall into the harbor. Devlina turned to Anna, who had gotten up and was fighting Pete, who was having a hard time holding up against her and the idea "Anna, let the idea take care of him, we're leaving!" Devlina yelled to the little Sue.

"Why? We're winning." Anna yelled back as she lashed out at Pete, making him dodge, right into a bullet from the idea's gun.

"They know where we are, and if we defeat these 2 they'll send more to take care of us; it's better if we run now and find another place to take over, rather than staying here and get caught." Devlina said and started running towards the citadel, the remaining ideas following her obediently.

Anna huffed and looked at Pete, who was occupied by the idea, and against her wanting to fight Pete some more, she sheathed her swords and started running after Devlina. She stopped briefly at the bridge, turned back to Pete and said in her cutest possible voice "Goodbye mister agent, hope you die in horrible agony." She then took off after the older Sue and her posse of ideas.

"What a horrible child." Pete said, he gave the idea a punch with his armored arm, before tackling the idea to the ground; the idea punched him hard a couple of times in the side, before Pete had enough and head-butted the idea in the head, stunning it long enough for him to get up and nailing it to the ground with his other sword, its reaction the same as with the other idea, a long moan and a few moments of thrashing, followed by it laying still and flexing its fingers.

"I hate that Sue." Joe said as he hauled himself up over the edge of the dock; once up, he deactivated the biosuit and walked over to Pete and asked "Is it dead?".

"I don't think so; they seem to go into some kind of hibernation when they get seriously injured." Pete said as he studied the idea.

"Well, I guess we better send it back to our author." Joe said and pulled the silver sphere out of his pocket and pressed the lens to the idea's forehead. The idea reached up and pulled the sword out of its stomach before standing up, its clothes peeling off to reveal a white leather jacket, white jeans, a dark red T-shirt with a faded band logo on it, a pair of fingerless gloves and a pair of red and black shoes; the idea walked over to the bridge and a plothole opened for it to walk through, which it quickly did, the hole closing behind it. They did the same with the other idea and the same thing happened, the only difference being that that idea was wearing a grey trench coat, a black beanie, torn blue jeans, a black T-shirt and black shoes.

Once the idea had disappeared, Joe gave a sigh of relief and said "Well, we better get back so the Society can send in a cleaning crew and get this place back to normal."

"Agreed." Pete said, they drew their plothole generators to get back to the library.

O-O-O

After writing their reports and delivered them to Michael, Pete and Joe went their separate ways. Joe went to the kitchen to whip up a meal for them to eat for their 'creation day' party, while Pete went off to their authors mind world to get a gift for Joe. Two hours later, the two was sitting in Pete's room, eating a curry dish with garlic bread on the side, and making small talk. After they were done eating, Joe brought in a nice, heavy chocolate cake, along with some vanilla ice-cream; they cut some cake and scooped some ice-cream up on their plates, but before they even thought about eating the dessert, they both got out the gifts they had for each other as they had agreed to exchange their gifts before they ate their dessert.

Joe opened his gift and was very pleased to find a copy of 'The troll hunter' on Blu-ray under the paper "Thanks Pete, I've been looking for this for a long time." He said as he opened the case to take a look at the disk.

"Well, I guess I was just lucky that I found it in that store then." Pete said as he opened his own gift, which contained a small blaster from the 'Star wars' fandom "Nice." He said and held it up and aimed it around the room, keeping his finger off the trigger so he wouldn't accidentally destroy something in the room.

"I know how you and Himuro like little gadgets, so I thought that was a fitting present." Joe said and put the Blu-ray down beside his, before clapping his hands together once and said "Well, let's get some cake.".

"Indeed." Pete said and put the blaster down on the table and the two dug into the cake.

After they were done with the cake, they said goodbye to each other; Joe was just about to leave the room, but turned in the doorway and asked "So, can we maybe expect a third person to join us next year?"

"Maybe, maybe not." Pete said with a grin on his face, his voice not letting Joe know if he meant yes or no.

"You really won't tell me much about this, will you?" Joe asked and sighed in defeat.

"Nope. Besides, as I said, I promised Charis that I wouldn't, even if you are my best friend." Pete said as he walked over to a shelf, where the hidden blade he had been wearing was sitting, along with Himuro's battle gadgets.

"Well, I guess it can't be helped, see ya tomorrow." Joe said and closed the door behind him.

"Yeah, we'll do that." Pete said, more to himself than Joe. He set the small blaster down on the shelf, before walking over to one of his bookcases, where he pulled out a large, old looking book; he opened it to reveal that the book was hollow, a small jewelry box laying inside. He took the box out and closed the book, putting it back and went over to his couch to sit down.

He opened the box to reveal two small rings of the kind that you usually wear on your pinkie, one a little thicker than the other; they were made out of platinum and at the top, they seemed to split in two and cross over under the small, round ruby that was set in the middle of both rings, and then come together again on the other side. He had brought the rings because of something Charis had told him a few weeks ago; they had been having lunch at a café, and Charis had told him about that in Japan, many people believe that people who are destined to be married, has a red string attached to their pinkies by the gods to signify that they would be together at some point; and when he later that week had seen the rings in a shop, he had decided to buy them, as they reminded him of what Charis had told him, and he had wanted to ask Charis if she'd want to be his fiancé some time before that. However, after he had bought the rings, he had been nervous about asking her, but the conversation he had had with Joe in Assassin's creed had given him the courage to ask her back, and while he had been in town for Joe's gift, he had thought out a plan and now all he had to do was to set it in motion.

He looked at the rings one last time, before he closed the box and said to himself "I sure hope she'll say yes."

Insert World at War Here

"Here's your tea sirs." The waiter said as he set the contents of his tray down on the cobalt colored table in front of Pete and Joe, who was small talking.

"Thank you." Pete said to the waiter and returned his attention to his friend, to continue the conversation that had been going on between them, even before since they entered the café "So, you were saying?"

"Okay, so I'm walking around Tokyo city, just looking for a bite to eat, and this moth fangire jumps me and tries to suck my life-force, so I throw it back with a force push and activates my biosuit. You should have seen its face when I started kicking its ass." Joe said and grabbed a cookie from a plate that the waiter had had with him along with the tea.

"I can imagine." Pete said and grabbed a cookie himself. The conversation between the two agents went on for about half an hour, when they decided it was time to leave, so they paid the bill and left the Café.

"So, what are we gonna do now?" Joe asked as they walked through the futuristic city of their authors mind world.

"Well, I need to pick up a few packages at the post office. So, if it's okay with you…"

Joe thought for a second and then said "Fine by me. But I would like to get back to the society before it gets too late, you know so we can work on perfecting that double attack we've been working on."

"Okay with me." Pete said, before the two started walking towards a large, cobalt colored, dome shaped building not to far away. They entered the building, into a silver colored room with a desk at the opposite wall, and some flower chairs here and there for customers to sit in while they waited for it to be their turn. Luckily for the two agents, the room was empty at the moment, so Pete went straight up to desk, and handed a bundle of notes to the woman behind the desk.

A few minutes later, the agents walked out of the office with a ton of packages, which ranged from small, envelope like packages, to ones the size of moving boxes "Jeez Pete, what the hell is half this junk?" Joe asked as he set his load down on the ground.

"Well, some of it are comics, DVDs and games that I ordered…" Pete said as he put his own load down next to Joes and continued "As for the rest, I think it's parts for Himuros inventions. Anyway, let's get back to the library so we can get to work on that attack." Joe nodded and reached into the pouch on his back and pulled out the book, the two agents used as a gateway between their world and the society, which had been shrinked by the help of a special feature, which was activated by pressing the middle of the book. Joe pressed the middle of the book to deactivate the shrinking feature, and the book grew to roughly his size, he then proceeded to unlock the book so they could return to the society.

O-O-O

"Okay, let's try this." Pete said. He and Joe had dropped the packages off in Pete's room, and then proceeded to the training area, where they had been setting up the target dummy that they were going to use for their training. Pete summoned his belt and said "Henshin, darkness." The nanobots that was hidden inside the belt, started swarming out and formed into the upgraded Darkhopper suit.

Joe activated the containment unit for his biosuit, and was soon covered by the black suit. He then asked his friend "Ready?"

"As ready as I'll ever be." Pete answered and flexed his wrist before getting into a fighting stance.

"Then, let's go!" Joe yelled and Pete started running towards the target. Joe tapped into the dark side of the force and released his force lightning at Pete, who activated his finishing move at the same time.

The two attacks met on Petes right shoulder, where they merged and doubled in power. To Pete, this new power felt incredible and frightening at the same time, but he quickly shook those feelings from his mind and focused on the target "Okay, here goes nothing." Pete said to himself and punched the target as hard as he could. At first it seemed like the attack was working as it should, but Pete was in for a nasty surprise. The electricity just circled the target dummy, burning it in the process, and exploded when it reached Petes hand again. This, in turn sent him flying into the opposite wall of the gym "Ow." Pete said as he slid down the wall until he rested against it.

"Pete!" Joe exclaimed as he ran over to Pete, and deactivated the armor by putting one of Petes hands on the belt buckle "Dude, are you okay?" Joe asked Pete.

Pete blinked his eyes a few times, before he made a wheezing cough and answered in Himuros monotone voice, "I think that shock was all volts and no amps, which explains why we're still alive."

"Uh, that's great, but what exactly are you doing here Himuro?" Joe asked.

Himuro looked around, as if only just realizing that he was even in the room. When his mind finally caught up, he looked back at Joe and said "I'm sorry Joe, the shock must have switched our personalities involuntarily, and I'll switch back immediately." Himuro closed his eyes and started concentrating. After a few seconds though, he opened his eyes and slowly, but surely, got a nervous expression on his face.

"What is it?" Joe asked.

"I can't switch back, it's as if something is blocking the path between our minds, preventing my personality from switching with Pete's. I wonder what could have caused this." Himuro said as he got up with the help of Joe.

"Well it can't be that he was slammed into the wall, he's used to that, what about the shock?" Joe asked as he looked at the target dummy.

A light flashed in Himuros eyes as Joes words sank into his head "Of course." He said as he turned around to face Joe "The shock must have knocked Pete out and as long as he is out we can't switch, and until Pete wakes up I'm stuck out here, and if a mission comes up for Pete I'm totally screwed, because I am totally…"

"Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, Himuro." Joe interrupted and put a hand on Himuros shoulder, stopping the split personality's rambling, before he said "Just take a deep breath, and try to calm down." Himuro took a pair of deep breaths and Joe asked "Better?"

"Much better, thank you." Himuro said before he cleared his throat and asked "But what do we do, if there comes a mission for you and Pete? I mean, I'm useless in battle, even if I use Petes armor."

Joe was about to give a witty retort when the door to the gym opened, and Michael stepped inside "Hey Michael, what's up?" Joe asked and tried to cover Himuro with his body, so the newest leader of the society wouldn't notice what had happened to his friend, just moments before.

"A mission in the World of warcraft fandom." Michael said and threw a file to the two agents. Joe opened the file and started reading, Himuro reading with him over his shoulder.

"Why is this Stu classified as a possible level 5?" Joe asked.

"With all the activity in the fandom from both authors and players of the game, it's been difficult to locate it, much less getting a read on it, it could very well be a lot stronger than that."

"Then maybe we should have another agent with us, just in case." Joe said as he and Himuro looked the info over again to see if they had missed something.

"Okay, I'll see who's available. I'll see you in the observation room, when you're ready." Michael said and left the two agents to themselves.

"Okay wise guy, what do we do now?" Himuro asked after a moment of silence, his voice had an angry tone to it, which actually made him sound a bit creepy, given that the split personality usually didn't show his emotions.

Joe swallowed hard, he wasn't used to Himuro speaking to him like that, and frankly, it scared him a little. He quickly regained his composure however, and said "Well, maybe they won't suspect that something has happened, if you stay in the background, while me and the other agent takes care of the Stu.".

Himuro thought the option over for a moment, before he shook his head and said "No, if I don't fight, then everyone who knows Pete will know something's wrong. Looks like I have to beak out my personal arsenal." Himuro then started walking towards the door. He had just put his hand on the handle, when he remembered something and turned to Joe again "I'll meet you in the observation room as soon as I can." He then opened the door and started running towards his and Pete's room.

"Well, I guess I better get ready as well." Joe said to himself and headed for his own room to pick up his item pouch.

O-O-O

"Hi Pete," Charis said as she saw Himuro coming towards her, he was still not wearing his glasses, to give the appearance that he was Pete.

"Hi Charis," Himuro said, managing decent parody of Petes voice and a smile on his lips "How are you?".

"I'm good, are you ready for tonight?" Charis asked.

Himuro felt as if he had just been hit by lightning, since he knew nothing about what Pete had been planning with Charis, and he look nervously at as he said "Yeah, of cause I'm ready for tonight, uhh."

"Did you forget our date?" Charis asked, she didn't sound angry though, more a bit disappointed.

"Yeah, I did, I'm sorry." Himuro said and hoped that his apology sounded sincere enough.

It seemed that he did an okay job, because a little smile came to Charis' lips, before she looked around to make sure nobody was there, she still felt a bit nervous about them doing certain things in public, and walked close to him and said, "Look, just remember to be outside my lab at 8 o'clock, okay." She gave Himuro a quick kiss on the cheek, and started walking off to her lab. A thought suddenly occurred to her, she hadn't really felt anything, when she talking to who she thought was Pete. She turned to look at Himuro, who was writing something down on a block of paper. After thinking it over for a few seconds, she finally convinced herself that it was because she had too many thoughts in her head, and continued her walk towards her lab.

O-O-O

"So, are we ready to go." Himuro asked, as he entered the observation room with a shoulder bag in his right hand, having just returned from his room with the equipment that he would need for the mission.

"Not yet, we're still missing our third man." Joe said.

Himuro walked up beside Joe and whispered so only Joe could hear him "I just hope it won't be too long, I just wanna get in there and out again as fast as possible, and hopefully no one will notice my little problem." Joe just nodded, he knew that Himuro knew, that nothing could be done about their current situation, even if they claimed that Himuro had suddenly become ill, and went to the sickbay, they would still have to wait for Pete to wake up, which Joe hoped wouldn't be too long. He also knew that the split personality wasn't too keen on going on missions without his better half, but everything had happened so fast, and now they were at a point where they couldn't turn back.

The door opened and Michael, along with Tyler, stepped into the room. Joe moved a little closer to Himuro and whispered "Well, this is gonna be interesting."

"Good, you're both here, then we can get this mission on the road immediately." Michael and walked over to the monitor that displayed the World of warcraft fandom. Himuro and Joe quickly shook hands with Tyler and then proceeded to open a plothole to the fandom and jumped through it.

O-O-O

The plothole opened over the waters of Stormwind harbor, and Himuro, Joe and Tyler fell out of it and straight into the water "I hate plothole generators sometimes." Himuro said after spitting out a mouthful of seawater when he, Joe and Tyler resurfaced. They started swimming for the shore, where they looked each other over to see what forms they had been assigned when they entered the fandom. Joe had obtained the form of a Worgen, Tyler had become a Night elf and Himuro was now a Draenei.

"Well, this is certainly interesting." Joe said as he and Himuro walked around a bit, trying to get used to their new bodies.

"So, what do we do now?" Tyler asked after a few minutes.

"Let's ask around Stormwind, if the Stu is there, people will know, for sure." Joe said and the three started walking towards the humans capital.

When they reached the stairs that lead to the city, Himuro suddenly stopped dead in his tracks, at the foot of the stairs, his two partners continuing up the stairs, and looked at the city with a confused look on his face.

"What's up Pete?" Joe asked from his position halfway up the stairs, Tyler also turned around to see what was halting the two agents.

"Do you guys see anything wrong with Stormwind?" Himuro asked and pointed at the city.

Tyler and Joe turned around and studied the massive walls of the city. After a minute or so, they turned back around and Joe said "It looks okay to me.".

"Exactly. If we're in Cataclysm, which I know we are, then some of the walls should have been destroyed by the dragon Deathwing, which they clearly has not. This could mean that the Stu is more powerful than we first thought." Himuro said and started walking up the stairs. As he passed Joe, he got a confused look from the fellow agent and stopped to explain "Oh come on, I'm not all into inventing, I surf the net from time to time, to see what's new in the world." He said in a low enough tone so only he and Joe could hear it, before he continued up the stairs.

Joe also started walking up the stairs and said to himself "Hm, I didn't know that about him."

The three agents walked around Stormwind for a time, asking people if anything especially good had happened to the world lately. Everyone they asked, said that a 'White knight' had shown up one day and rid the world of all the evil that had ever plagued it. After having heard the same story, several times, the three agents decided to take a rest at the local inn, and get something to eat and drink "So, we know who the Stu is, now we just need to know where he is." Joe said after the waitress had placed their food on the table.

They had only taken a few bite of their food, when the door was more or less kicked open by a male Draenei, who yelled "The White knight has returned. He just got off the ship, you have to hurry if you want to see him, before he leaves the city." The Draenei then ran off to the next house.

"That was easy." Tyler said as he let the contents of his plate slide down his throat.

"Yeah, it was, but it makes me kinda nervous," Himuro said and took a few sips of his drink.

"Why?" Tyler asked and emptied his own drink in a single gulp.

"If the people of this world loves this 'White knight', as much as they seem to do, he might be a higher level than we thought he was." Himuro said and took a bite of the meat on his plate.

"So, what do we do now?" Joe asked.

"I suggest that we attack him, once he leaves the city, but first lunch, I'm hungry." Himuro said and continued eating his food.

"Hey, can I have some more, please?" Tyler asked the waitress, who by the looks of it, couldn't believe that he had finished his plate so quickly. Joe and Himuro couldn't help but snickering at the scenario.

O-O-O

The White knight left Stormwind with the crowds cheering on him from the gates. He was dressed in a pearly white armor, and on his back was a beautiful sword, its handle shaped like a dragon, with rubies for eyes. A sigh came from under his helmet. As much as he loved the cheers of the people, he also liked the tranquility of the castle the that people of Azeroth had raised in his honor. All he wanted to do after his great journey, was to lay down in his large bedroom and rest.

But his thoughts of rest were interrupted when he heard voices, and as he rounded a turn, he saw a young Night elf and a Draenei standing in the middle of the road, and by the looks of it, they were in the middle of an argument.

"He's not." The Draenei said.

"He is!" The Night elf yelled back.

"Hello, good people of Azeroth, what might your discussion be about?" The White knight asked in an overly dramatic tone of voice, and halted his white unicorn in front of the two.

The Draenei turned away from the Night elf, holding up what looked like a small metal rod, with a pink lens on the top, and said "We were just discussing if you were as stupid as you look, turns out my friend here was right." He then pressed a button on the device, and a pink flash came from the lens.

The White knight was quick enough to close his eyes, so he was not blinded by the light, but as soon as he opened his eyes, he was greeted by a magical blast to the helmet, which in turn knocked him off his mount. He quickly rolled out of the way as an axel like staff, wielded by the enraged Night elf, came down on him. He quickly drew his sword and started parrying the hail of swipes and hits Tyler threw at him.

From Tyler and Himuro's point of view, the pink light had stuck to the White knight and made him glow a bright pink. This had sent Tyler into one of his pink related nervous breakdowns, and he was now smacking the knight around.

Himuro quickly jumped behind some rocks, where Joe was waiting for him, they didn't want to be near Tyler when he had one of his breakdowns "Are you sure this Sue beacon of yours is gonna work, Himuro?" Joe asked.

Himuro put a hand to his ear, and listened to the sounds of battle "Well from the sounds of Tyler beating the living daylights out the guy, I'd say it's working out fine." Himuro said, but no sooner had the words left his mouth, before there was a bright light, together with the sound of a very loud explosion, and Tyler came flying over their heads and smashed into a tree, leaving him unconscious "Or he could be an extremely powerful paladin, who wanna cleanse us to death with his holy magic." Himuro said and looked at Tylers unconscious form.

Joe stood up and said, "Well, since plan A has obviously failed, we might as well try and get a prohibitor on him the old fashioned way.".

Joe activated his biosuit, and was about to go fight the knight, when Himuro grabbed his arm, put his other hand in his shoulder bag and pulled out what looked like USB flash drives "Take these, they're firebombs, all you need to do is pressing the button on them and throw them." Himuro said and put the bombs in Joes hand.

Joe looked at the bombs and nodded and started to walk around the rock. He stopped as a thought came to him. "Would you mind turning off the Sue beacon? I don't wanna get run over by Tyler, if he wakes up before we're done here," Joe said and disappeared around the rock to confront their opponent.

"I'll be with you in a second." Himuro said before he pulled out the Sue beacon, and removed the batteries from it, which would remove its effect on Sues and Stus. He then went over and sat Tyler against the tree, and slapped the young mans face lightly, until he slowly opened his eyes "Tyler, are you okay." Himuro asked.

"I think so, but did you get the number on the truck, that just ran me down?" Tyler asked as he put a hand to his forehead, to massage the lump he had gotten when he hit the tree.

Himuro let a small smile cross his face, before he said "You seem to be fine." He then stood up and started looking through his bag. He quickly found what he was looking for, an icepack for Tyler, and what looked like an ipod with two parabolic dishes attached to it. He handed the icepack to Tyler with the words "Take this and come back to the fight when you're ready." He then put the ipod like device in his pocket and summoned his rider belt.

Joe let a bolt of force lightning sail across the battlefield, in an attempt to do some damage to the White knight. The attack fail, of cause, because the Stu simply put up a magical force field, which in turn deflected the lightning. He lowered the shield and said in a mocking tone "Thou can not hurt me, thy demonic powers are no match for my holy powers, and thou shall now be purified in holy death." The knight then swung his sword and sent an arc of golden energy towards Joe.

Joe formed shields out of his claws, and readied himself for the coming pain, but it never came. He lowered the shields to see Himuro standing in front of him in the Lightdrake armor, the armor on his right leg smoking from parrying the white knights attack "It was about time you showed up." Joe said as he morphed his claws back into their original form.

"Well, I guess I had to come and rescue you at some point." Himuro said with a hint of good natured sarcasm in his voice.

"Okay, but now that you've saved me, let's kick this guy's ass." Joe said before he found the bombs that Himuro had given him and ran towards the White knight. Himuro smirked under his helmet as he pulled the sides of his belt buckle to activate his final attack, before flying into the air.

"So, these demonic entities wish to challenge me, then I shall teach them a lesson they won't soon forget." The White knight said and readied himself for the coming fight. When Joe was within distance of the White knight, he pressed the buttons on firebombs and threw them. The White knight saw the attack coming, and casually raised his holy shield. The bombs exploded against the shield in brilliant blue flames, and the White knight could feel the intense heat that radiated from them. But he wasn't worried, because as soon as he let the shield down, the flames went out along with it. The White knight and Joe stood and looked at each other for a couple of seconds, before the knight raised his sword and blocked the electrified kick from Lightdrake, who quickly jumped off the blade and landed next to Joe.

"Well that didn't go well at all." Joe Said and formed his claw shields.

"Yeah, I guess the direct approach doesn't really work on this guy." Himuro said and took a fighting stance. He suddenly felt something, as if there was a faint signal from Pete, but he quickly dismissed it as nothing more than a feeling, and focused on the battle.

The White knight smirked under his helmet, as he raised his sword over his head and loudly proclaimed "Now thou shall feel the ultimate holy power, namely the power of the sun." A tiny ball of energy appeared over the tip of the sword and grew until it was the same size as himself.

As that was happening, Joe looked at Himuro and said "Wow, this guy really knows how to stay in character."

"Well maybe he's just like that, or maybe he's a really good actor. By the way, shouldn't we be running for our lives right about now?" Himuro asked and pointed at the big energy ball.

"Yeah I guess you're right, we should." Joe said. The two agents looked at each other for a moment, before screamed and started running towards the rocks they had used for hiding.

"Thou will not escape my attack." The White knight said and swung his sword in a beautiful, fluid motion and sent the ball of energy flying directly at Joe and Himuro.

Joe and Himuro had the energy ball on their heels, as they ran for cover, and literally jumped over the rock to escape the powerful holy attack. The energy ball smashed into the rock, but instead of turning the it into dust, the ball just popped like a soap bobble, sending a pillar of beautiful golden light into the sky, which was quickly reduced to nothing "Whew, that was close." Joe said as he got up from where he had landed after him and Himuro's jump.

"Yeah it was, but we better get back out there and defeat that guy, and I got a plan." Himuro said as he too got off of the ground, and touched the center of the Drake/Hopper buckle to deactivate the armor. He quickly found the ipod like device in his pocket and said to Joe and Tyler "Follow me gentlemen." he, Joe and Tyler then started walking back to the spot, where the White knight was "It's a risky move. But what ever, the worst thing that can happen, is that if the thing overloads, I'll unleash hell on the multiverse, no biggie." Himuro said to himself as he and his fellow agents stepped out form behind the rock.

"Ah, thou found a way to evade my strongest attack. Well, thou shall not be so lucky next time." The White knight said and got ready to fight, his sword starting to light up with golden energy.

"Probably, except there won't be a next time." Himuro said and held up the ipod like device. He pressed the button on the top of the device, which turned it on. The screen lit up and the words 'PLEASE SPEAK PASSWORD NOW' appeared on it "The password is 'dimension henshin'." Himuro said.

"PASSWORD ACCEPTED, DO YOU WISH TO CHOOSE A WORLD YOURSELF, OR DO YOU WANT THE SHTD SOFTWARE TO CHOOSE A WORLD RANDOMLY." The SHTD/Singular Hyper Time Destabilizer said in a soft woman's voice.

"Pick a random world, and quickly." Himuro said and jumped out of the way, when the White knight came at him, and tried to take his head off with his sword.

The three agents did their best to avoid the White knight for a few moments, until the Singular Hyper Time Destabilizer announced "WORLD FOUND, DESTABILIZING HYPER TIME." The parabolic dishes on the SHTD moved to the top and bottom of the machine, before they shot out a blinding white light and started moving towards the center, covering Himuro in the light until he looked like a human light bulb.

"Thou shall meet thy maker!" The White knight yelled as he swung his sword to cleave Himuro in two. The sword never touched Himuro though, because at that exact moment, he split into two entities and the sword hit nothing but air. The White knight raised his sword for another strike, but never got further than that, before the light around the two entities exploded in his direction, and sent him flying back and hitting the ground hard, though by the help of his Stu luck, the fall was one of the softer ones.

The White knight slowly got to his feet, all the while looking at the two beings, that Himuro had turned into. The two looked exactly alike, the only differences between the two being that one of them was wearing glasses, and had purple hair and the other white hair. This was Pete and Himuro from a parallel universe, where they had OC super sentai powers, and where they were battling the White knights counterpart of that universe. They also still had both their eyes.

The two alternate universe agents took a look at the White knight, before they pointed at him and said in unison "You have disturbed the balance of this world, and you will be punished for it." The two presented a pair of bronze bracelets, they had on their right wrists, which had a small, silver colored machine, with seven gems, each in a different color to represent the chakras, alien symbols on the sides, and what looked like a lock at the top, attached to the bracelets.

The two AU agents each held up what looked like a key, AU Pete had a key with a white gem on it, and AU Himuro had one with a purple gem on it. They inserted the keys into the locks, turned them and flipped the gemmed part of the key on top of it. The gems lit up, along with the corresponding gem on the transformation device, before the light of the gems expanded over the AU agents bodies and formed bubbles.

The light bubbles shattered to reveal to two dressed in their sentai suits, which consisted of a spandex suit with colored chest, boots, shin guards, elbow length gloves, the rest of the suit was black. The helmet had long, golden sideburns, a pair of long, golden horns along a silver mouth protector and a black visor that looked like the ones on motorcycle helmets. AU Pete was dressed in white and AU Himuro was dressed in purple.

The two AU agents didn't waste time on role calling, but instead summoned their weapons by removing their transformation devices, and drawing the shapes of the weapons in the air, the devices leaving a colored band of light in their wake. The weapons consisted of a white staff with a triangle shape on the top of it, and a giant, black hourglass with purple sand in it, and a pair of handles on the sides, so he could handle the hourglass like some sort of hammer.

AU Pete ran up to the White knight, who was still wondering what the hell was going on, and struck his helmet with the staff, stunning him long enough to get behind him, and tripping him with the other end of the staff. The White knight shaked his head and got up again, and after charging his sword with golden energy, the two started clashing weapons for what would hopefully be the final match.

While this was happening, AU Himuro was getting ready for his own attack on the Stu. The sand inside the hourglass started flying around, while small bolts of electricity traveling between the grains of sand, making the hourglass light up with purple light. The AU agent turned to Joe and Tyler and said "Joe, Tyler, I need a little extra energy from you, so we can finish this quickly."

"Okay…" Joe said, a little nervous since he still remembered the accident in the gym "But last time I did that, I gave you too much power, and you were knocked out."

AU Himuro looked at him with a confused expression on his face and said "You only did that until we found out that 3 seconds is the maximal time you can use your force power on our weapons, before they become overloaded and backfires.".

"Okay, let's get this show on the road then." Joe said. Now that he knew how long he could use his powers on a final attack, he felt more confident about doing it again "Ready Tyler?" Joe asked as he activated his force powers.

"Always." Tyler said and started charging his magic. The two agents released their attacks on the hourglass for as close to three seconds as they could, making the energy circle wildly around the hourglass. AU Himuro then lifted the hourglass from the ground and started a running attack on the White knight.

"Thou fight valiantly, but it is no use against a powerful knight such as myself." The White knight said as his sword clashed with AU Pete's staff.

AU Pete looked behind the White knight, and saw AU Himuro coming towards them and said "Maybe…" He parried another strike form the White knights blade, and continued "But I'm not planning on beating you. You see, I'm just distracting you, so my partner can give you the final blow." As AU Pete finished his sentence, AU Himuro had reached the two combatants, and smashed the hourglass hammer into the side of the White knights helmet, actually denting the metal of it, and sending him head first, into a tree, which in turn knocked him out, at least for a little while.

The AU agents was about to high five, when the soft, mechanical voice of the SHTD echoed in the air around them "3, 2, 1. HYPER TIME, RESTABELIZING." As the two AU agents hands met, the white light from before spread from their hands to their feet, before they merged back into a single entity, who then fell to the ground, exhausted from the use of the SHTD.

Joe looked from the downed Stu, to his comrade and then to Tyler and said "Go prohibit the Stu, I need to take care of Pete."

"Right on," Tyler said and ran over to the White knight, who was already regaining consciousness. Tyler raised his staff and bonked the White knight on the helmet, effectively knocking him out again, before he placed a Prohibitor on the Stus wrist, with the words "You sir, are under arrest, in the name of the Anti-cliché and Mary-Sue elimination society."

Joe went over and lightly shaked the exhausted form of his comrade, before he asked, "Dude, how're you doing?"

"I've been better." The voice of Pete spoke as he opened his eyes, and looked at his friend.

"You're back, awesome." Joe said and smiled.

Pete slowly got up, aided by Joe so he wouldn't fall. He looked himself over and said "Yeah, but how long was I out, I don't remember being blue or having hooves.".

"Well, the short of it is that Himuro went on a mission with us." Joe said as he helped his comrade over to Tyler, and sat him down on a rock so he could regain some strength.

"Never thought he had it in him." Pete said quietly as he rubbed his temples.

"Well I'll tell you all about it, when we get back home. Hey Tyler, are we ready to…" Joe stopped talking and looked around in disbelief. Time had stopped, the exception being himself and Pete "Okay, I'm officially freaked out here, what's happening?"

"I happened." A voice said from behind the two agents. They turned around to face their author, who was walking out from behind a couple of trees.

"Oookay, so why are you here, why did you feel the need to stop time?" Pete asked and pointed at the time frozen Tyler and Stu.

"I am here to discuss a private matter with you, hence the time freeze." The author said, taking a quick look at Tyler and the Stu himself.

"And that private matter would be, what exactly?" Joe asked.

"You see, after our little run-in with Kazuna, I've been keeping a more careful eye on my ideas, to make sure I don't repeat that mistake. However, last night I went down into my vault of ideas in the making, and discovered that some of my unfinished ideas had disappeared, and guess what I saw when I checked the security cams." The author said.

"What?" both agents asked

"A Sue with a key to my world." The author said simply.

"How did she get her too perfect hands on such a thing?" Pete asked as he stood up and stretched his body.

"The only person, besides you two, me and any of my finished characters, who had such a key, was Kazuna. And now a Sue has the key, and thus access to my mind. Or rather she had access to my mind, I made the key useless after we captured Kazuna, so she must have broken in and stolen the ideas before we put Kazuna behind bars." The author suddenly realized that he hadn't gotten to the point yet, so he cleared his throat and continued "Anyway, I want you two to look out for the ideas and get them back to my world so they can get back in storage until I need them."

"And how do we do that exactly?" Joe asked.

"With these." The author said, as he pulled what looked like a pair of silver balls out of his pocket. He handed the balls to Pete and Joe and continued "These devices will help you find and neutralize the ideas. It will open when one of my ideas are nearby, and when you look through it, the idea will glow blue so you can follow it. And once you've caught the idea, all you have to do is to hold the ball close to the ideas forehead, and it will be programmed to seek out the nearest plothole, where it will jump to a fandom of my choosing to be picked up by me."

"Awesome." Joe said and stored the ball in his pouch. Pete put his ball in one of his pockets, where he noticed a piece of paper he was sure hadn't been there before, but he didn't want to look at in front of his author, it could be something personal.

"Well, I'll be off then, I'll se you around." The author said and walked behind the trees again, and a few seconds later, time started up again.

Pete and Joe looked at each other for a moment, before Joe said "Well, let's get this guy back to the society, I'm starting to get hungry." Tyler, Joe and Pete grabbed the White knight by his arms and feet, before they opened a plothole back to the library.

After the portal closed behind them, a pair of figures stepped out from behind the rocks opposite to the trees that Pete and Joes author had walked behind. The first was a man in his mid thirties and the other was a female troll who looked a few years younger than the man.

The man was a little overweight. He had short cut, light brown hair and grey-green eyes, which was hidden behind a pair novelty x-ray glasses. He wore a white lab coat, a black shirt, black pants, black leather shoes and a utility belt with two sonic screwdrivers, an old looking revolver, what looked like sword sized dragon dagger, a Tron identity disc and what looked like the K-Touch from Kamen rider decade.

The troll had an almost human look, the only difference being that her ears were longer and had hair on them, and she had a pair of horns in her forehead. The troll was also a bit on the chubby side. Her eyes were brown, and her hair, which reached the middle of her back, was dark brown. Her clothes consisted of a piece of grey cloth that was wrapped around her chest, a long loincloth, which was made from the same grey fabric, a green cloak, a belt with several pouches and a long knife in a leather sheath, and on her feet, a pair of modern day sandals.

"This looks like an interesting dimension, wouldn't you agree Ashlin?" The man asked his companion, his voice was high-pitched and had an indefinable accent.

"Indeed it does, doctor Neosano." Ashlin said.

O-O-O

Pete and Joe was sitting in Joes room, filling out the mission paperwork, while Joe was explaining the events that had transpired during the mission "And when the light disappeared, you were you again.".

"Okay, now the only problem left is explaining why I acted like I did." Pete said as he looked up from his paperwork, and leaned back in the comfy leather chair he was currently occupying.

"Well, we could just say that you were field-testing some new equipment for Himuro." Joe said as he too set his paperwork down for a moment.

"Good idea, it's not all that suspicious. Now let's get this over with, I wanna relax with a hot bath and a movie." Pete said, and started writing again.

"Sounds like a good plan, I might do the same after I'm done." Joe said.

The two finished their paperwork as quickly as they could, and after delivering it to Michael, together Tyler of course, they went their separate ways. Pete stuffed his hands in his pockets, and once again felt the note that he had noticed in World of warcraft. He pulled it out, and started reading it 'Meet Charis at 20.00 o'clock outside her laboratory'. Pete looked up from the note with a smile on face, he took a look at his watch, there was a good 2 hours until it was 8, and said to himself "Well, a shower and a date isn't half bad either." He then went straight to his room to get ready for his date.
