                                * * * * * *

        "You know who I hate?"

        "No, who?"

        "The customers."

        "Which ones?"

        "All of them."

        Seth and the store clerk were caught up in a rather strange chat that
oddly resembled a 20th century cult film, or maybe it was a comic, but it
doesn't really matter, does it?

        What DID matter at the moment was that Seth was delightfully chowing
down on the recently heated cup of ramen and was waiting for Annie to come by
with her food. To pass the time he talked to the clerk, a fellow gaijin named
Bret.

        "So you hate me?"

        "No."

        "How come?"

        "'Cuz you're not really a customer."

        "The fuck?"

        "Customers don't talk to me, they just buy their shit and leave, you
at least talk to me. Therefore you're not a customer, get it?"

        "No, but it's all very interesting."

        Annie walked up to the counter, muttering about how it sucks that
this place doesn't carry cigarettes, and carrying a bag of chips and a can of
beer, Seth noticed the beer and swiftly took it away.

        "HEY!" Annie shouted in protest. "What are you doing?!"

        "You may not remember what you were like that time you were drunk..."
Seth said as he handed it over to Bret. "But I do."

        "Fine." Annie said and went to get a different drink, this one was a
soft drink called Wet Dream.

        "No matter how many times I stock those, I can't help to burst out
laughing." Bret said snickering as he ringed up the price. Annie paid for the
both of them and left. Bret told Seth to stop by some time. Seth pretended he
didn't hear him.

        "So," Seth spoke with his mouth full of ramen noodles. "Where are we
heading next?" Annie tore open the bag of chips and shoved a handful in her
mouth. "Annie? Where the fuck are we heading?" Seth continued to ask. Annie
just washed down the chips with her can of Wet Dream and turned to Seth.

        "We're heading to fucking Nyx's place, that's where!" Seth could tell
she was a bit annoyed with him since he knew she rarely used swearing
vocabulary, but not that he cared.

        "Alright! Alright! You don't have to get so goddamn fuckin' testy
with me." Seth said and gulped down the rest of his ramen and chugged his can
of Yebisu beer. "Shit. I can't drink this crap. The whole alcohol industry
went to hell after Tendou Enterprises bought out all the breweries..."

        "But that kind isn't owned by TE." Annie pointed out and smirked.

        "Yeah well it tastes like fucking dog piss! Bunch of fucking shit!"
Seth grumbled and chucked the can across the street.

        "Stop right there citizen." Came a lifeless voice from behind Seth,
along with a hand that had an iron grip that clamped down on his shoulder.
Seth slowly turned around to see that a Sable stopped him. "You are
charged with disturbing the peace and littering." The Sable stated and
gestured for Seth to give him his hand for an ID scan, something Seth wasn't
registered with.

        "Fuck you shit head! I'll do what I fucking want!" Seth shouted and
jerked his shoulder out from the Sable's grasp.

        "Seth, don't do anything rash..." Annie warned, but was too late.

        "You are now charged with insulting an officer of the law and
refusing to be ID scanned. Do not continue to agitate me or you will be
locked up for seventy two hours." This time Seth took stronger actions, he
punched the Sable right in the face.

        "How's that for fucking agitation!?" Seth shouted as he kicked the
Sable in the side a few times.

        "Um, Seth?"

        "Yeah, what?"

        "You made a big mistake."

        Seth looked where Annie's attention was and saw three more Sables
coming over on their grav sleds.

        "Well," Seth said grinning and cracking his knuckles. "I was hoping
for a fight!" Annie just grimly smiled and went into a fighting stance.

        "I was hoping for more of AFTER we got some equipment to handle
this..."

                                * * * * * *

        The trio of Sables began to make their way to the table Sachiko and
Shichi were sitting at.

        "Don't worry," Sachiko whispered to Shichi. "I can handle this."

        "That's one of the reasons why I AM worried..."

                                * * * * * *

        The first of the three Sables was dispatched easily, Seth just merely
threw the unconscious Sable at him. Annie then extended her index finger, a
light green glow emitted from it. She leaped in to the air and came back down
in front of another Sable. Her glowing index finger pressed against his
chest, and she immediately jumped away again. The end result was a few sounds
of the Sable's rib cage cracking and then bursting open in an explosion of
flesh and bone.

        The other two gathered themselves up and drew their combat spatulas
and charged. The first one made a high swing at Seth, who easily dodged him.

        The other made a downwards strike at Annie, but she merely jumped out
of the way and then drop-kicked the Sable in the face. A loud crunch was
heard as his nose shattered, but the inability to feel pain kept him fighting.

        As Seth's adversary got himself back in a fighting stance, a strange
thing happened with Seth's arm, well his wrist and hand actually. It can't
really be described since it seemed to follow the magician's term of 'slight
of hand'. After the sound of a handle slapping into Seth's palm was heard,
the gun that he earlier ate was in his hands.

        "Even a Sable bows down to the might of a gun!" Seth shouted and
unloaded the three rounds into the Sable.

        *BLAM!* An arm is blown off.

        "Damage!"

        *BLAM!* A leg is splattered into a meaty stump.

        "Damage!!"

        *BLAM!* The Sable's head is blown clean off, well actually the ammo's
contained explosive ripped his head off first.

        "Damage!!!" Seth shouted one last time as he saw the head fly against
a wall behind the blown apart Sable. "Boo-yea!"

        Meanwhile Annie made short work of her Sable. She just flipped
backwards, wrapped her feet around his head, and then snapped his neck.

        "C'mon', we better get out of here before anymore arrive." Annie said
as she flipped towards Seth and brushed some hair from out of her eyes.

        "Right."

        Unknown to the two of them, the first sable they encountered wasn't
knocked out like they though, but waiting for the perfect moment to attack,
and he just got it.

                                * * * * * *

        The dark room filled wall to wall with super computers known as the
Tactical Operations center was basked in light as the door opened and the
minister stepped inside. One of the officers briefly looked over her
shoulder, not that she needed to; she already had a feeling that Ms.Hinako
was mad.

        "What is it that you all had to call me away from my dinner?" Hinako
questioned as she sat in her leather command chair and glared at everyone.

        A young man dressed like the classic image of a 20th century computer
programmer, white shirt, red tie, and gray pants, stood up from his chair and
pointed at a nearby monitor, both in a motion for the minister to look at it,
and for the officer at that panel to turn on the speaker. What the computer
said sent chills up the cold woman's spine.

        <<MDK MDK MDK MDK MDK MDK MDK MDK MDK MDK MDK MDK ...>>

        "What the hell is going on?!" Hinako shouted as she dashed to the
computer. Nervously the officer switched the screen to the Sable monitoring
display.

        "Three Sables went flatline in the last few minutes." He began to
explain and was shooed away by Hinako in a rather nasty manner.

        "I can see that! But by what?"

        "Well it appears to be two individuals, one was briefly armed,
although the Sables never picked up the weapon. There was also a brief energy
emission. We're not sure what it was, but it killed a Sable instantly." The
officer said as he looked through the data printouts they made.

        The Minister of Tactical Ops', Hinako furrowed her brow as she
looked over the printout after the officer handed it to her. "Send all nearby
Sables to the area. We can't let criminals that have committed multiple MDKs
go free."

        "Yes minister."

                                * * * * * *

        "Huh?"

        "What the-? ... They're leaving."

        "There must of been something bigger than me and Oniko that they were
needed to take care of..."

        Sachiko and Shichi just stared as the trio of Sables left Hell's
Capitol and took off.

        If they knew that it was Seth and Annie that were the reason they
were saved from that fate worse than death, they would have thanked them, but
since they didn't know both Seth and Annie or what they did, they wouldn't.

                                * * * * * *

        "Annie, watch out!" Seth shouted as the remaining Sable came up from
behind her. With lightning speed she swung her right index finger in an arc.
The same faint green glow emitting from her finger struck him directly in the
Adam's apple, and a brief moment after, his neck bursted open.  Blood spewed
from his neck. Fortunately Seth and Annie got out of the way beforehand.

        "I hate it when they do that," Annie said and cracked her knuckles.
Seth had a big grin on his face as he slapped her on the back.

        "How do you spell kickass? A-N-N-I-E!!! You're one badass chick, you
know that?"

        "Save it. We have more company," Seth turned around just as the sound
of the grav sleds came closer. A dozen Sables were closing in on them.

        "Aw shit balls."

        "Yeah. You think that a Seth special can take them out?"

        "Wasn't it named after me?" Seth asked grinning.

        "Good, You hit them with it and I'll go ahead."

        "Nani?!"

        "Well I think you'll do just fine. Ja!" Annie turned tail and ran in
the direction of the slums. Seth grumbled under his breath and focused his
battle aura in his hands.

        "Okay you soulless mother fuckers, get ready to smell what the Seth's
cooking..." In a burst of dim light a black fireball was created in Seth's
hands. "Open wide!!!" With that Seth threw the fireball at the Sables and
waited.

        One sable accessed his neural computer to scan the fire ball, "It
appears to be a combination of dark matter and battle aura-"

        *BWOOM!!!*

        In a large explosion of fire the Sables were incinerated. Those who
survived fell to the ground slowly burning to death.

        "And if you're not down with Seth, well I got two words for you...
FUCK YOU!!!" Seth shouted at the dead Sables and repeatedly did the 20th
century's DX chop until Annie had to come back and dragged him to the slums.

        "That's the last time I let you rent WWF DVDs when we're in the
US..."

                                * * * * * *

        "C'mon! We have to get going!" Shichi said as he tugged at Oniko's
arm. He was sure that more sables would come if they transmitted their
finding them before they left.

        They didn't, but Shichi sure as hell didn't know that.

        "Alright! Alright!" Oniko broke down and left with him and Sachiko.
"But where are we gonna head out to? I have no idea where Foster is."

        "Simple, he's at Ucchan's. And it's best that we go there, I still
haven't gave her my twenty four hour notice on taking tonight off..." Shichi
trailed off, a grim look on his face appeared as he thought about how the
forty year old woman is going to yell at him for skipping work.

        "You what?" Oniko asked, trying to hide her snickering.

        Sachiko just dismissed the idea of her being mad. "Miss Kounji won't
be mad, trust me."

        "You're just saying that because you recommended him to her and you
don't want to lose your job too."

        "Yes well..."

                                * * * * * *

        "Holy-!"

        "What in the world?!"

	The Command center was in utter panic as all fourteen Sables in
action went flatline simultaneously. Hinako just sat there brooding in her
chair.

        "You are a clever pair, but in the end I will kill you both
personally, you can count on it..." She muttered to herself under her breath
and asked a nearby officer to write the requisition forms for more Sables.

        Prime Minister Akai will be angered from tonight's escapades. Hinako
knew that well.

        But a woman scorned is even worse.

        And at that a Hinako determined AND scorned must be ten times as
worse.

        <You will pay,> Hinako thought to herself, a small smirk came to her
mouth. <Oh yes, you will pay for this... Delinquents.>

Author's Notes:
First off I'd like to thank Kit and K-chan for helping me out with the
problems I had in the writing. I'd like to thank Foster for being a big help
in the tweaking and fine tuning of the RPML-2025verse. And I'd like to thank
people such as Tom Mendoza, Alice, K-chan, and my father Jim Detenbeck, for
their fan support and pats on the back for how I've done with this series.

Music I listened to:
Original draft; Rob Zombie's Hellbilly Deluxe, The Offspring's Americana,
and Much Music's Big Shiny Tunes 3.
Rewrites; The Soundtrack to The Matrix, KMFDM's Adios, KoRn's Follow the
Leader, and Rage Against the Machine's first album (nope, no title).

References and other misc' notes:

" The woods seemed to be against Shichi Ukiuki today. "

The half Sable, half Kitsune's name means "Seven Happyness". Doesn't really
mean much, but it's a funky thing to know, eh? ^_^

***

" *WONK* "

History's first ever non-reference! ^ ^!!! Yoru-Hikage takes credit for
saying that it was a ref' to a RP he did where a tree made the same noise
when he ran into it. It isn't a ref' to that, believe me. ^_^

***

" Shichi then raised one finger on his left hand, and pressed it hard
against the wall. "BAKU CHAI TEN KE CHU!" "

The Baku Chai Ten Ke Chu is actually the Bakusai being done by a 3 year old
Ryouga, but I missed the manga translator's footnote about how it's actualy
him mispronoucing it, that I assumed it was a Bakusai relying on applying
pressure rather than striking the point.

***

" Took you long enough," a female voice mocked slightly. From behind a
dumpster a girl in a white and red nylon body suit and a red leather jacket,
stepped out. "

If you haven't guessed it, her attire there is a combo of Rei's plugsuit and
Misato's jacket. ^_^
Course the plugsuit bit is more than just a NGE ref' as that Oniko's mother
was an alternate reality Rei and she wears a bodysuit like her mom's
plugsuit as a form of remberance.

***

" "Oh be quiet Oniko..." "

Oniko means "Demon child" refering to both the fact that Oniko's parents are
daemons, and that she was a bit of a stubborn jerk as a kid.

***

" ("My mission in life is to see you DIE!!! Baby!") "

The song is taken from Adam Warren's BGC Grand Mal, and the style of how
it's put in here is a homage to Stephen King's style of putting in
background speach and music.

***

" "Hey Ko-chan, "

It was changed from "Oni-chan" after someone pointed out that Onee-chan,
which sounds the same, means "brother", not a great why to say to a girl,
eh? ^_^

***

" "Seth... I don't know what to do with you anymore..." "

Seth is named after Seth Gecko from the vampire flic Dusk Til Dawn.

***

" "All right Annie my counterpart, I say some nice convenience store food!" "

Annie is named after my pet cat who seems to share a similar personality. ^_^

***

" <This'll be easy pickings...> Ricky Valvito thought to himself as he
checked to make sure all three ammo chambers on his colt grenade ammo
special were loaded. "

Dumb little personal joke, Ricky Valvito was the name of a drug pusher I
played in a improved skit for drama class.

Now if only I could come up with a way to put in his supplier Tommy Chung... ^_-

***

" He ate the end of the gun. "

Yep! it's a Eat-man ref'! ^_^

***

" "Fine." Annie said and went to get a different drink, this one was a soft
drink called Wet Dream. "

Believe it or not, there is actually a Asian soft drink called Wet Dream ^_^

***

" "Even a Sable bows down to the might of a gun!" "

Yet another Eat-man ref'...

***

" "Damage!" *BLAM!* A leg is splattered into a meaty stump. "Damage!!"
*BLAM!* The Sable's head is blown clean off, well actually the ammo's
contained explosive ripped his head off first. "Damage!!!" "

Another ref' to BGC Grand Mal.

***

" "How do you spell kickass? A-N-N-I-E!!! "

ANOTHER ref' to Adam Warren, this time for his mini-series Magical Drama
Queen Roxy, of which the main char', Roxy (aka. Gen13's Freefall) is
actually the main inspiration for Annie's appearance.

***

" "And if you're not down with Seth, well I got two words for you... FUCK
YOU!!!" "

Were the Newage Outlaws ever this crude? ^_^

***

" <You will pay,> Hinako thought to herself, a small smirk came to her
mouth. <Oh yes, you will pay for this... Delinquents.> "

I can just see Hinako in a Gendou style pose for this scene... ^_^


Well there we go! Thank you all for reading this far! ^_^
