*TURN OFF YOUR LIGHTS* (And give yourself a severe case of eyestrain) (The future isn't what it used to be....) "MYSTERY SCIENCE THEATER 6.7" (SEASON THREE) EPISODE 30: THE IO SAGA PT. 4 (A Sailor Moon MSTing) MSTed From the Desk of Megane 6.7 and Zoogz (megane67@rogers.com) (zoogz@yahoo.com) This is a MSTing of a work of fiction created by another author.

"Sailor Moon" is the property of Naoko Takeuchi and all the distributors of her work. "The Io Saga" is the property of Sarah J. Gates and she's welcome to it. I do not intend to offend her for making fun of her work like this but I figure it's only a matter of time before someone does. Think of this as another form of C&C. It's all meant in good fun. ;) * * * (Door 6: It slides open on both sides..) (Door 5: It's made of beads. They explode out towards you, and you move on..) (Door 4: It falls toward you, missing your foot by inches.) (Door 3: It's a castle gate, that rises into the ceiling..) (Door 2. It's solid black marble. An Akahn floats from behind you and touches the door. The door vanishes.) (Door 1: It splits in four ways, twice.) (Door .7: A beam of golden light erupts from the floor. You walk into it.) Joel emerged from the light into the theater with Tom in his arms, Crow emerging a moment later and following close behind. Stepping over the air grate that prevented Tom from entering the theater on his own, Joel placed him down on one of the theater seats and sat next to him, Crow sitting on his right. Suddenly, there's a crackle of static from the loudspeaker and a familiar voice echoes in the theater. Makoto: AND ANOTHER THING! IT'S BAD ENOUGH THAT MEN LIKE YOU IGNORE ME, BUT YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE THE CLASS TO SAY YOU'RE LEAVING!? IS THIS HOW YOU TREAT ALL YOUR INTERVIEWS?!? HUH?!? Tom: Talk about emotional baggage... Joel: Don't worry, I'll take care of it. (Joel reaches under his seat and pulls out a pair of wire cutters. He then stands up and walks over to the loudspeaker, wincing at the volume as he fiddled with the wires and carefully snipped away until Makoto's voice mercifully faded into an unintelligible gurgle before disappearing completely. Joel then returned to his seat. Joel: Poor Makoto... I still respect her though. Crow: Just like a man... Joel: Pardon? Crow: Nothing! >S. Jupiter: I'll take care of this trash! Sparkling Wide Pressure! ><<< Sailor Jupiter's Moon Sparkling Wide pressure attack. >>> >Morpher Intsu: Ha! Stupid Sailor Jupiter! Tom: Sparkling Wide Pressure is just for kids! Crow: Hello? Anyone home? Think, McFly, think! Did you forget everything you learned in part one already? >Don't you know that you will just make me stronger by doing that? Crow: Not if I hit a gasline, sucker. >M. Intsu absorbs all of the energy Sailor Jupiter released at him when she >blasted him with lightning. He swells slightly and grows more muscular. >Sailor Europa's eyes widen O.o Tom: Until she looks remarkably like a raccoon! Joel: Wow! He's even more of a hunk than before! Look at those muscles! >Sailor Europa: Oh, ___SHOOT___! Run! Joel: Shout! Transform! SOMETHING! Crow: Why, Sailor ROBIN? Hmm? I just uncork a bit of holy fire and he's toast! >Morpher Intsu collects a ball of energy in his hands as the sailors start to >scatter. He releases it and it hits the ground. Tom: Then it bounced back up and Morpher Intsu began dribbling and doing fancy tricks while Sweet Georgia Brown played in the background.... Crow: Can it, Meadowlark! >The impact of the energy causes the sailors to be knocked off of their feet. >Sailof Moon: Ooof..... Tom: Sailors scattering? Scary sticky supervillians? Stay tuned! >as the screen pans out, we see that Sailor Europa dropped her sickle near >Morpher Intsu when she was knocked off of her feet. Morpher Intsu bends over >to pick it up, but his hand is met by a red rose. Joel: I came to say... I came to say.... I LOVE YOU, EUROPA! All: >Tuxedo Kamen: I don't suggest you take that. Tom: Crow: Enter The Wuss. >Tuxedo kamen jumps down from a tree. Crow: He's been hiding up there since Part one I'll bet. Tom: Maybe gathering his nuts? Crow: He could use them. >M. Intsu: How'd you get out? Oh, no matter. You can't stop me now >that I have the energy Sailor Jupiter gave me. >Morpher Intsu swings an arm at Tuxedo Kamen, knocking him into a tree. >M. Intsu grabs the sickle as Tuxedo Kamen recovers. >T. Kamen: Itai... Tom: Wait, what'd I just say!? TRANSLATOR! >Morpher Intsu: Ha! (fades into the ground) Joel: That quicksand will get ya everytime. Crow: Those senshi better be careful, he's probably recruiting Mole People... >Sailor Europa stands still. She looks slightly dumbfound and shattered. Tom: Sooo... why did the Morphers supposedly kidnap Tux-Boy if he was so easily beaten? Joel: They wanted some bishonen spice in the HQ, I guess. >S. Io: I swear>...! All: By the moon... and the stars... in the sky.... >If i ever se that slimy scum again I'll......! >S. Jupiter: Calm down! >S. Venus: Yeah. We know you want to get back at that guy, but you can cool >your jets about it. >Sailor Io: If I see anything of his, it's gonna be toast! Joel: Wow... even his matched luggage? Tom: ESPECIALLY THE MATCHED LUGGAGE!!! >Suddenly, Sailor Europa's uniform melts into her regular clothing. Shira >looks down towards the ground. Crow: Crap... I paid fifteen hundred for that outfit... so much for the cosplay... guess I have to find my plugsuit now... >6. Marble room. Day. Tom: ...six of the tournament. Nerves had long been rubbed raw, and more than one person had slipped on the cat eyes and broken their neck... >M. Intsu fades into view and produces a sickle. Joel: But can the sickle act? Crow: These darned stonewashed jeans! I bought them prefaded, and they came out looking like this! >Morpher Inma: Very impressive. To be quite frank, I didn't think you >could pull it off. Tom: That's the difference between you and me... I make these jeans look GOOD. >Morpher Intsu: Sometimes, you underestimate me *too* much. Crow: Well, you have to admit nine times out of ten, they simply fry your ass and send you on your way. Tom: So he's rendered one out of TEN senshi useless. And considering how many of them were ALREADY useless... >Morpher Inma: Well, either way, you still did a good job. Did you finish off >the little brat who had the gem? >M. Intsu: D'oh! I knew I forgot something! Joel: And did you stop by the store to get a gallon of milk like I asked? Crow: Oh, just rub it in, why don't you! >M. Inma: Maybe I didn't underestimate you _enough_.... >Morpher Intsu: Very funny, Inma. You just crack me up.. >Morpher Inma:Just go finish the job. Maybe if you do the job right, I might >allow you to take care of Io as well. >Morpher Intsu: Oh, joy...... Tom: I wonder if Arbys is still hiring? >M. Intsu fads out of view. >Morpher Inma: I just hope he does well. Oh, well, if he doesn't, I can always >send Kunzite after him. Joel: So the Morphers *are* associated with the Dark Kingdom? Tom: More like a limited liability corporation. >The sickle that Morpher Intsu left dissappears. Crow: A transporter beam?!? DAMN YOU, PICARD! Joel: Yeah, it's not like that sickle could be used as a weapon against the senshi or anything... just toss it anywhere! >7. Int. Rei's temple. Living room. night. >Morpher Intsu reforms in the living room of rei's temple. Tom: I'm a changed man! From this day forward, I vow to use my gooey powers for GOOD! >The five moon senshi are scattered about, covered with different types >of blankets. Crow: Ooh, it's the sleepover scene! >he spots Shoko, her braided auburn hair tied up so it won't come undone. >Then he spies shira, her short, blond hair down about her shoulders. She >us sitting up looking at the moon. Crow: What? Is there something on my face? >Shira: I've failed you, Queen Serenity. I've let my enemies get my gem, and >now I can't fight. I'm so sorry. (she sounds like she is about to cry) Joel: No, really! She does! Trust me on this one! >Morpher Intsu walks up behind her. >M. Intsu: The fact that you failed your Queen is not half your problems! >Shira turns around slowly and goes wide eyed O.o as Morpher Intsu prepares to >strike. >Shiar: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaa Crow: ...ah, who am I kidding? I'm not scared of this dork. >AAAAAAAAAH! Joel: Oh, just say Megami-Sama and get it over with! Tom: Ha ha! Another successful root canal! Crow: Too bad Shira wasn't a Crest kid. >There is a flash near the moon and a glowing object falls next to shira. She >picks it up and hears a voice, Joel: Shira! Heed my words! I am Foam! >Queen Serinity. Tom: Ah yes, Queen Serinity, Ruler of the Moan Kingdom. All: >Queen Serenity: This is your new gem. Use it and the new power that comes with >it wisely. Say "Europa Gem Power, Make Up", as you always do, and say "Europa >tigers claw", as you always do, and I will give you further instructions on how >to use it's power. Crow: Then when you screw up and lose the gem, as you always do, I'll provide you with another one and we'll go through this whole explanation again! Tom: Ah, the RPG mini-game syndrome. >Shira picks up the gem and nods to herself. Joel: What's the gem THIS time, talc? Gypsum? Gneiss? Shale? Joel: Rhinestone... geez, your highness, why not just dress me up like a cowgirl and call me Sailor Dolly? >Shira: Europa Gem Power, Make Up! >Shira holds up her gem. Her leotard part of her uniform forms in a flash of >lightning. Then her gloves with the same effect, and her boots. The whole >screen flashes and the ribbon on her back, her skirt, her shoes, and her >earrings are all there. She places the gem on her forehead and her tiara forms >around it. All: Crow: Now THAT'S how you do a typical transformation sequence! >She smiles and strikes a pose. >Morpher Intsu: Eh? I took your gem,! You can't transform! >Sailor Europa: I can and I did! Europa Tigers Claw! Tom: So, having fun yet, Europa? Do you want to continue or should I transform and play crispy critter? >Sailor Europa removes her whol Tiara as it turns into a glob of gook. >It then reforms as a sickle with a hnadle made of tiger-eye and a hook of gold. >Queen Serenity: Now, say "Jupiter Lightning Charge!" Tom: It worked SO well last time, let's do it again! Crow: Yoo-hoo... remember, fry and they die? Well, if you need me, I'll be in the can.... >S. Europa: Now I'm going to make sure you don't do this to any more of my >friends! Jupiter Lightning Charge! Joel: *snort* Hope you electrocute yourself, you power stealing, no-talent hack! Crow: Doesn't this fall under the purview of the United Sisterhood of Senshi Local #387? >Sailor Europa holds sickle above her head. A bolt of lightning strikes it. Tom: ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGHHHH!! Crow: That's the last time she listens to Foamy. >It glows, crackling with electricity, but Sailor Europa seems unharmed. >She slashes at Morpher Intsu and hits. Some of the electricity is transfered >to him. >M. Intsu: Argh! Crow: Why ya salty sea bitch! I'll rip out yer gizzard for that! >This noise wakes up Shoko who rubs her eyes. she feels around for her gem and >finds it. she stands up tiredly and holds up her opal. Crow: Oh. Intsu is attacking us. Anybody seen my brush? Tom: So are the rest of the senshi still sleeping then? Joel: Boy, that marathon hide and seeking REALLY took it out of them. >Shoko: Io gem power (yawns) make up... ><<< Typical sailor Io transformarion. >>> Crow: ...will not be seen tonight so instead here's some suggestive pictures of Optimus Prime. >Sailor Io: (yawns) Okay, morpher, you're not going to get a(yawn)way >with waking me up! Io opal staff. >Sailor Io turns her gem into her staff. Tom: All right, guys. We've got twenty-four hours to close the Johnson account! Load up the coffee machine and tuck in the kids cause it's time to set the midnight oil aflame! >Sailor Io charges Morpher iNtsu with her staff head-on. Morpher Intsu >manages to dogde, but is caught by Sailor Europa. Crow: Gotcha! Now I'm gonna turn you into my own personal facial! >She shoves him out the door, and he rolls around on the ground. Bots: He don't like to fight, he don't like to scuffle... he dances all night, doin' the Curly Shuffle! Joel: Oh, a wise guy, eh? >Sailor Io and Europa jump down, intending to finish the fight. Crow: ...while the rest of the senshi contented themselves with humming 'Duel of the Fates'.... >Sailor Io: We can do this the easy way... >Sailor Europa: ....Or the hard way. >Sailor Io: Your choice. Joel: Hey, who are you calling easy!? >Morpher intsu: I'd much rather have the hard way. Tom: Yep, just keep throwing those energy boost... uh, I mean, DRAINING attacks at me till I go down! Heh heh heh.... >Sailor Europa: Okay then! One hard way coming right up! Tom: Oh, and can I have a tough love combo meal as well? Joel: OK, do you want to be fried with your order? >Sailor Europa swings her sickle at M. Intsu as if to chop him down like a bit >of wheat in a field. Crow: Which is like, so ironic since that's what a sickle is designed to do, y'know? >He carefully molds himself so that there is an empty space where the >sickle is moving. >M. Intsu: Is that the _best_ you can do, Sailor Europa? Tom: Aw, cram it, Odo! Joel: Actually, that was my C- effort. I have a lighter and some kerosene though... want me to go for an A+? >Sailor Io: We haven't (gets cut off as Morpher Intsu tosses her aside with a >molded tendril)... Itai.. >Sailor Europa looks over at her fallen sister. >S. Europa: Io! Are you okay? Aah! (she falls down to the ground as >morpher Intsu pulls her feet out from under her with his tendrils.) Ooof... Tom: No, no! It's *Itai*! Pay attention! Joel: Man, those tendrils are a force to be reckoned with! >Morpher Intsu molds even more tendrils and picks up each sailor. He >squeezes them both, tightening his grip. >Sailor Europa, still holding a lightning charged sickle, Tom: ...began waving it back and forth as the crowd screamed for an encore. Crow: Yeah, Slayer! WOO! >tries to touch the hook of it to a tendril. carefully sliding it down, she >manages to touch it. the lightning travels from the sickle to the tendril, >and on to Morpher Intsu's body Joel: ...using capital letters as fuel during the long journey. >This transfere continues until Morpher Intsu unwraps his tendrils from >around Io and europa. >Morpher Intsu: Aaaarg! Joel: Okay, who's got the next pirate riff? Tom: Aaaarg matey, if'n ya keep yer lips sealed an' make me find ya special treasure, I won't keelhaul ya! Joel: There's something about the way you said that.... Tom: >Sailor Io: Now for my idea of fun! (she brings her staff crashing down >on Morpher Intsu's head) >Morpher Intsu: Ouch...! Crow: And this is my idea of mirth! *BONK!* And my idea of pleasure! *CRASH!* And, oh yes, my idea of breakfast! *SNAP, CRACK, POP!* >Sailor Europa starts to run around morpher Intsu as Sailor Io keeps him >preocupied. She hacks at each tendril and avoids them when they try to >grab her. Sailor Io: Hey! Where'd you learn that trick? Joel: Better Homes and Demon Gardens. >S. Europa: After not having the luxury of my spirit being sent to the future, >living in battle, and being reincarnated ten times over, you learn things. >Sailor Io nods. >S. Io: Yes. You sure do. Crow: Yeah, like how and when to brag. Joel: After all, you don't learn anything LIVING in battle! >8. Marble room. Day. Tom: Lack of descriptive prose. Dull. >Morpher Inma: Hmm... I sense that another force, related to the Dark >Kingdom is here. Kunzite, could you go take a look at it? Joel: What? Am I wearing a Red Shirt again? Crow: Sure thing, it's probably just that Obi-Wan brat. "Ooh, my master's dead! I have to train the chosen one!" What a geek. >Kunzite steps forward and nods. >Kunzite: Yes, Mistress. >Kunzite then dissappears into thin air. Crow: Look at this! Capture that! Cripes, at this rate I'll never get any quality time with Zoysite! >9. int. Room filled with mirrors. Day. Joel: Aw, they're just reusing the set from "Enter the Dragon". Tom: I'm sensing a lot of bad luck in Kunzite's future. >Ruebeus: Petz, could you do me a favor? >Petz emerges from a mirror. >Petz: Sure. What do you need? Joel: Tell me what the heck do we have to do with this story again? Crow: I dunno. Maybe we're just cameoish atmosphere. Like Geese Howard's pointless appearance in the Fatal Fury 2 anime.... Joel: Well, would the author mind pulling the plug on this "Art in the Park" production? I don't think these people are buying all these new senshi.... Tom: Buying? They'll be lucky to unload them at a Salvation Army. >Ruebeus: I need you to take a look at an energy surge. It seems to be related >to the Dark Kingdom, but we can never be too careful about who we trust. Crow: It was caused by a worker in sector 7-G. Tom: Fine. What does an energy surge look like, anyway? >Petz: Of course. I'll go take a look at it right away. >Petz steps back into the mirror. Crow: And now Petz and Reuben will reenact a scene from "Duck Soup." >10. Ext. Rei's Temple. Night. Joel: Is it just me or are the scenes getting shorter? Tom: Let's play more hide and seek! Crow: Ok, Cue scene 11! Shopping Mall food court! Day! Joel: I'm still bored. Crow: Good, on to scene 12! Marble Room! Day! Tom: *yawn* Crow: Scene 13! Come on, pick it up, pick it up! >Petz appears out of nowhere, right in the middle of the battle between >the two sisters and Morpher Intsu. Tom: Sailor Nun's here, too? >Right now, Io and Europa are bruised and banged up a bit, Crow: Aww, we missed the Crash of the Moons! >but they seem to be okay, compared to Morpher Intsu. As Petz arrives, >the commosion slows down a bit as they all look at her hovering in air. >Petz: (Thought) Hmmm... Definately from the Dark Kingdom.. >Sailor Io: Who're you, green haired, poor excuse for Dark Kingdom waste? Crow: Apparently, witty dialogue wasn't one of the things Team Io learned after ten resurrections. >Petz: I'm Petz, you annoying little brat! >Sailor Europa: *whistle* man, somebody here needs a nap. Joel: Hey, come on, don't taunt the author like that. She's stuck by you this far, hasn't she? Crow: Speaking of naps, where are the rest of the Senshi? Did they just vanish or what? Joel: Maybe the author couldn't pay them and they walked off the fanfic? >During this time, a scorched, bruised and slashed Morpher Intsu heals a little >and reforms as a giant tiger, ready to pounce the two sailors. Tom: Eat my frosted flakes, senshi! EAT 'EM! >Now, Kunzite appears. >Sailor Europa: What is it today? Wierdo-o-rama fest? Crow: I'm a weirdo? Have you seen how YOU'RE dressed? Joel: I'm not a weirdo! And in the name of Io, I will punish you and... er... heheh... um... you're under arrest? >Kunzite: Ha ha. I'm here on order of Morpher Inma to take a look at the power >source that she detected. >Morpher Intsu pounces, and since Sailor Io and Europa duck, he pounces Kunzite, >who was standing behind the two. All: Wah-wah-wah-wahhhhhh >Kunzite: I didn't know you cared.... >Morpher Intsu reforms as a human. >M. Intsu: I _don't_. Joel: Umm, hello? Remember me? Mind taking a roll call, fanfic? >Morpher Intsu brushes himself off and gets up. >Petz: Ahem.. I'd like... (gets cut off) Joel: Hey! *HONK* Learn how to drive, idiot! *HONK* >Sailor Io walks up to Kunzite and nudges him with her elbow. >Sailor Io: (stage whispered to Kunzite) He does care, he's just trying to hide >it from you... >S. Europa walks up to M.Intsu and nudges him with her elbow. >Sailor Europa: (stage whispered to M. Intsu) He hates your guts, he just >doesn't want you to know.... Crow: Know what I mean, nudge nudge? Tom: What the HELL is this? Loveline with Adam Io and Dr. Drew Europa?!? Joel: Stage whispers... this IS a community theater massacre! >Morpher Intsu walks up to Kunzite. He clenches his fist. >Kunzite: You do care! >Morpher Intsu: (while Kunzite is talking) You hate me! Tom: And you ALWAYS talk when I'm talking! I HATE THAT! Joel: YOU NEVER LOVED ME!!! YOU NEVER... ... L-LOVED ME... .... Crow: At this point, the fanfic has decided to forgo the throwing up of the hands bit and just quietly stick its head into a wood chipper. >Morpher Intsu throws a punch at Kunzite. They start to argue. Tom: Just another day on the Jerry Springer show. Crow: You call that a punch? A dairy farmer could hit harder than that! My nose isn't even bleeding! Joel: Yeah... well... my dad can beat up your mom! >Petz: (as she stomps her foot in the air) _DO YOU MIND?!?!_ >The two stop arguing and look up at Petz. >M. Intsu and Kunzite: (in unison) what? >Petz: I'd like to ask you a few questions... Joel: Why is the author turning this into a farce? Tom: Can I get paid now? >Kunzite: Oh. What do you want to know? >Petz points to Morpher Intsu. >petz: For one, who are you? Joel: It's official... the fic has come around full circle... then again a little smaller... repeating over and over... until the story is completed flushed down the literary toilet. Tom: Nice imagery, Joel. Crow: I'll man the plunger. >M. Intsu: Who, me? I'm Morpher Intsu of the Dark Kingdom. Tom: Well, since his driver's license has a picture of goo, I can't imagine Petz drawing a distinction between him and mildew. >Petz: (thought) Ruebeus was right, it is related to the Dark Kingdom... >Kunzite: is that all? Joel: Where were we again? Tom: Debating each other's mortality as two Sailor Senshi look on. How's the popcorn, girls? Crow: We wouldn't know. Usagi finished the bag. Joel: *Gargg gargg gargg gargg*... Needs more salt! *Gargg gargg gargg gargg*... >Petz nods and fadees out. The arguement picks up again. Sailor Io and Europa >giggle uncontrolably in the background. Joel: Sailor Io and Europa! Spreading the seeds of discontent for over fifteen hundred years! Crow: We may not have the senshi's original powers, but boy are we naughty! Tom: If not for us, there might have been a Golden Millennium! Sailor Io says! <<< Typicla SM ending. >>> Crow: Now with new crappier spelling! Tom: Whew! It's over! It's finally over! We can stick a fork in this fic, cause it's done, done, DONE! <<< The opening song runs. >>> Tom: OH MY GOD! IT'S NOT OVER! IT'S *STARTING OVER*!! NOOOOO!!! NOOOOOOOOOOO....!!! Joel: Yikes! We'd better get Tom out of here before he reaches ground zero! Crow: Right! Let's burn rubber, baby! (Crow takes off like a shot out of the theater while Joel struggles to keep a firm grip on the vibrating Tom as he rushes after him.) * * * SATELLITE OF LOVE Small wisps of steam continued to rise from Tom's body as Crow frantically flapped a towel in his direction while Joel pressed ice packs against his body. "Are you feeling better now, Tommy?" Joel inquired. "Y-Yeah... I think I'll be okay now. Sorry if I scared you guys...." Tom apologized. "Hey, it was a long fic, we understand." Crow replied. "So, Tom, do you feel up to analyzing the second chapter with Crow and I or would you rather sit this one out?" "Nah, I think I can handle a little analysis." Tom replied confidently. "OK, I'll go first...." Joel took a deep breath before continuing. "The first part, despite its grammar flaws and gratuitous Japanese, has some promising stuff nonetheless. A new enemy, a new band of sailor senshi with a cause and somewhat of a history. It looked like the beginning of what could have been a good series." "But then in Chapter Two, the author seemed to run out of ideas. She introduced Team Charon in the opening scene and then never mentioned them again. Then after a few padded scenes, we're told Mamoru was kidnapped and replaced with Morpher Intsu despite no solid evidence *whatsoever* of Mamoru's kidnapping or details of his escape! And when Mamoru does get a chance to fight, he's swatted aside like a fly!" Crow continued. "Yeah, and getting back to Morpher Intsu, all the author had to do was give a somewhat plausible reason like 'I've got a magic amulet that protects me from fire!' or 'I've covered myself head to toe with asbestos!' to explain why Sailor Mars didn't simply fry his ass again... but nothing doing," Tom added sadly. "Come to think of it, didn't Morpher Inma say in the first part that she was going to summon allies from the Underworld? Why not use THEM against the senshi? And what's up with that ending?" Crow wondered. "Well, I'm just guessing here, but I think the author knew the story was in serious trouble at this point and decided to get silly at the end. Since there's no mention of a chapter three, I guess she gave up on the story entirely." Joel remarked. "Still, you have to admire her incredibly accurate portrayal of Tux-boy. She smelled the wuss on him coming a mile away and just ran with that ball right to the end zone!" Crow laughed. "Hey, you're right! I almost forgot to thank her for that! Thanks, Sarah!" Tom replied happily. "Yeah, I think Sarah deserves a ramchip! In fact, we'll gladly eat a few in your honor! What do you say, Joel?" Crow offered. Joel shook his head and smiled. "You guys crack me up...." he remarked as the red light began flashing on the counter. "What do ya think, sirs?" * * * DEEP 13 Dr. Forrester's face had gone purple, his teeth clenched tightly and his eyes bulging out as he grabbed a nearby phone book and after several violent tugged, managed to rip it in half. He gasped with exertion for several moments as he glared at the viewscreen. "You've won this round, Robinson... but don't think you've seen the last of Dr. Clayton Forrester! No way! One day I'm going to finally find the fanfic to break you and the ultimate triumph WILL be mine!" "Hey, whatever you say, Morpher Intsu!" Joel replied cheerfully. "OH, GO SUCK A LOADPAN!" Dr. Forrester retorted as he slammed his hand down on the button. ...AND THE MSTINGS CONTINUE... I hope you enjoyed this and C&C is very welcome. (megane67@rogers.com) (zoogz@yahoo.com) Author's Notes: Greetings! I just want to apologize for taking so long to get back to a solo MSTing. The last few months I've been helping out with various FFIRC collaborations and they've been a blast! (Except for editing, of course. ;P) You can find these collaborations on the 'MSTing For All Seasons' webpage http://www.nabiki.com/mst, which was set up by my good friend Zoogz and contains revised versions of all of my previous MSTings, fanfics, and MSTing collaborations, as well as, 'The FFIRC MST Archive' and 'Zoogz's Annex'. Also, I'm looking over a couple of fics for the first MSTing of Season Four and hopefully it shouldn't take as long as this one did. :) I've been MSTing for almost four years now and I want to thank each and every person who's send me words of support and encouragement and who have helped me throughout these last three years. I treasure every piece of fan mail I receive and I consider it a great honor that some people have dedicated their MSTings to me and tell me that I helped encourage them to start MSTing. To all of you, thank you from the bottom of my heart and I hope I can continue to inspire and make you laugh for a long time to come. :) I'd like to give personal thanks to Zoogz, who helped me with some in-depth C&C and suggested many riffs for this MSTing. He is a very funny and talented author and you can find his works at his new webpage http://www.nabiki.com/mst/zoogz/ including his Utena MSTing 'Ma Vie et Roses'. He is currently working on a new Ah! My Goddess MSTing called 'Keiichi's Bloody Sunday' and an original fanfic called 'Point Source', both of them coming soon to a fanfiction archive near you! Also, I'd like to give personal thanks, once again, to Gary Kleppe, whose C&C and suggestions are always appreciated. I can't say enough nice things about this guy! :) If you haven't had a chance to check out his latest works 'The Ghost Prison' and 'For a Dying Friend', you can reach him at gary@garykleppe.org or his new webpage at http://www.garykleppe.org/comics.html and I'm sure he'll be happy to send the story along to you. Finally I'd like to thank Sarah J. Gates for writing 'The Io Saga' and giving me a lot of material to work with. I hope you're not offended. It's all meant in good fun. :) ***All of Zoogz and my MSTings and the MSTings we've contributed to can be found in the various categories at:*** 'A MSTing for All Seasons' http://www.nabiki.com/mst Everything What Is Crap (formerly Shinji's Vault of Anime MSTings) http://www.svamcentral.org/ewic ">Sailor Mercury: Umm, do you mind telling us what is going on?"
