In her room, Tina woke to one of the most awful sights one could see in 
the morning. Herself. In fact, it was so hideous that she screamed and 
ran into the wall in the other direction. She passed out when she turned 
SD and fell backward onto the floor.

{BEEP}

	Had her jaw not been constricted to her face, it would have fallen on 
the floor. Yet, it was her face that met the floor when she slipped. The 
others could only sweat nervously at the goings on. 

{BEEP}

	After loading Pegas into the Blue Earth, the passengers strapped 
themselves within the extra seats, the course was laid in the computer, 
and all systems were checked and re-checked. Soon after, a rumble spread 
throughout the bay, then a fire erupted from the booster section of the 
ship. Throwing the ship forward at a intense speed through the launching 
bay and on the ramp, where section after section fell off until at the 
end of the ramp. Taking the ship to an even higher speed, the Blue Earth 
flew north.

	Yet, the thrusters started to buckle and then died. The tiny ship fell 
to the ground and broke. Revealing the toy was not as good as everyone 
first thought it was. 

	"Aw. Could someone go down to the store and pick up another?"

{BEEP}

	Not finding his sister with Tina, he turned around to see Shara giving 
a hug to Ringo and whispering something in his ear. Without any kind of 
warning, Ness whamed Ringo into the ground with an Akane Tendou Approved 
Hyperspace Hammer. What he didn�t count on was that Shara then whacked 
him into the ceiling with her own Akane Tendou Approved Ultra-Space 
Hammer. Looking at her hammer, she realized the scene was botched.

	"Uh, Oops?"

{BEEP}

	Patience was always one of Sword�s better qualities. She watched as 
Star slowly gave in to her master�s will with a sinister smile on her 
face. She shut herself down and allowed 12 days to pass as if it were a 
single night. When she woke, she saw the pod begin to glow, knowing that 
the process was nearly complete. Without warning, the pod exploded and 
then Star fell out among the goo as it slowly dissipated into nothing. 
There she lay, naked and quivering in the cold, it made Katherine smile. 
Walking over to her new ally, she grabbed her neck and turned Star�s 
head to her face.

	"Hello dear. Did our Morning Star sleep well?"

	She could only see only the most utter hatred in Star�s gaze. Then it 
quickly switched to confusion. The reason being that Katherine couldn�t 
keep a straight face. Katherine let go and started to stagger.

	"Arg! My heart�s pounding, I can�t take this!" with that, she fainted. 
Leaving a SD Star with a irritated vein on her forehead.

	"You wimp." Star said simply.

{BEEP}

	Back at the northern base, Slade had found himself hiding behind a 
boulder. It was one of the training ideas proposed by Shara. <Hide and 
Seek, a lovely name.> he thought sarcastically. He then heard the side 
of the boulder he was hiding behind suddenly screech. He jumped away in 
time to see the boulder shatter, and instead of Tina, it was the same 
boy from chapter 3 that had interrupted his and Saber�s fight.

	"WHAT! YOU AGAIN!?!"

	Ryouga started,"Where is...uh oh." At that time, a enraged SD Slade 
flew down and started to beat up Ryouga in a cloud. 

{BEEP}

	"Slade. Sometimes I wish that the Argos never left. That way, this 
nightmare wouldn�t be happening, the teknos would still be a lost 
dream," she lowered her face next to his ear and whispered, "and I never 
would have fallen in love with you."

	"Tina, I.." she silenced him with a single finger on his lips. 

	"I know. You love Star. I can�t compete with her. But just for one 
night, let me at least be in the arms of the first man that I ever 
loved."

	"But Tina, I..." she silenced him again, only this time, she kissed 
him. To say that he felt nothing would be a big fat lie. He felt guilty 
for betraying Star. At the same time he could feel the emotion she 
placed in that kiss and knew it to be true. That part wanted to return 
it in full, but knew all too well that he could not. 

	Then, he noticed that the kiss was going on longer that it was supposed 
to. He forced her back gently, both of them breathing a bit harder than 
usual. 

	"Tina, what were you doing?"

	She smiled a bit and said "Trying to make this part into a lemon." 

	What she didn�t know was that Star had ran all the way there and had 
malleted Tina into the wall. She was fuming at the now unconcious Tina. 
By that time, an SD�ed Shara had sat beside her brother, who was also 
SD�ed, and sighed. 

	"Why me?" He said. 

	Shara smiled and said, "�Cause your the main character."

{BEEP}

	That was when Tina saw her. With contact, their minds made a connection 
and Tina saw the face behind the helmet. "S...Star? Is that you?" The 
stranger nodded and with no warning kneed Tina in her stomach. Gasping 
for air, Tina collapsed to her knees. The only thing that she could hear 
at the moment was the sound of the rain pouring and Star�s venom filled 
voice. 

	"Who�d you think it was you little bi***."	

	Then Tina stood back up and retorted. "You got some gall to call me 
that." She turned and said with a more than confident voice, "At least I 
showed Slade how I felt about him. Unlike SOME people I happen to know."

	Star then growled," I called you that because you were ready to... 
to..." Star couldn�t finish. 

	"Aha! You can�t even say it!" An SD Tina started to laugh and tease 
Star some more. Since she was on a roll, no one tried to stop her. Which 
was a BIG mistake. They could do only one thing. Star whacked Tina on 
the head again, knocking her out until they could get a chance to do the 
scene again.

{BEEP}

	Outside, a bladed spear and a dagger clashed. Since Tina was unable to 
train with them, Shara had begun Ringo�s training herself, despite her 
condition. Also, they couldn�t take the time to bring Ringo to  the lab 
where they originally trained. They just had to take the risk of facing 
not only Galt, but others who would want the secrets of the Space 
Knights for themselves.

	Unfortunately, Ringo was too busy thinking about his only line when he 
misstepped and fell off the side of the command center. Nervous sweating 
ensued. 

{BEEP}

	Tina�s head snapped up. She could sense him.  He did return, her heart 
soared. Dressing, she ran out to where she could easily sense him. Yet, 
she was so preoccupied that she accidentally yanked the door the wrong 
way, off it�s hedges, and onto her. 

{BEEP}

	Then her eyes flew open from a more than familiar presence. There was 
another one as well. She couldn�t tell who it was, but it did seem 
familiar. She was too tired to get up  and see who it was, so she hoped 
that someone would tell her. She heard the door open up to show that she 
had some more visitors. There standing with someone�s arm over his 
shoulder was Ness. She smiled to see her brother back, but when she saw 
the person he supported, her smile faded into a hate filled sneer. 
"YOU!" It was Cain, looking worse for wear and a weak smile on his face 
as he said hi. 

	"Get out...GET OUT!" she screamed at Cain, ready to leap out of the bed 
and strangle the man once known as Saber. She did notice the fact that 
his eyes were no longer red, but she didn�t care. In fact, she was so 
into the part, she leaped out of bed, jumped on her brother, and started 
to strangle him, while slamming his head to the floor. 

	Having no clue what to do, Cain grabbed a hold of his sister�s wrists 
and tried to yank them off. 

{BEEP}

	"So then she said...." One of the guards chuckled to the other, 
lighting up his cigarette. The other nodded, sipping his drink. 
Suddenly, an arm reached out and chopped one on the nape of his neck, 
the guard blinked and looked at his assailant. 

	"Sorry, hit the wrong place." The guard frowned and shook his head.

{BEEP}

	In her room, Shara was twisting and turning in bed. She was still mad 
about Cain and couldn�t sleep. In fact, she turned and tossed so much, 
she fell off the bed. While laying on her back, she heard another voice 
in her head. <How are ya feeling?>

	She replied casually, <Oh, just kinda down.> While the crew facefaults 
from the awful pun, we switch to the next scene. 

{BEEP}

	A voice said from the doorway. "I think not Jamison-san." Everyone 
turned to see a Japanese man and woman standing in the doorway. The 
woman had short black hair, her brown eyes masking the great amount of 
intelligence held within. She wore a pair of heavy army boots, black 
denim pants, a white long sleeved shirt and black vest over it. 

	From the side of the screen, a man said, "Hey! Miyuki, Shinya, Takaya! 
Your mother wears army boots!" 

	Gritting her teeth, the woman growled, ran off stage and the men who 
said that was soon heard. His screams of pain and the sound of getting 
the woman off of the man.

{BEEP}

	"Teknomen Kanazuchi and Bo, at your service." Said the boy bowing.

	From off stage, a rather familliar voice said, "Bo knows jokes!"

	Soon enough, the person known as Pi, aka Josh Green was heard screaming 
in pain as the author started to mangle. Once for the first joke with 
Akane and the other for this one. 

{BEEP}

	Ranma ran down the hall way as fast as he could, pushing personnel 
aside like they were nothing. Interested, Salian ran after him with a 
speed that would make Ranma seem slow. The  others followed quickly as 
Akane explained his Cat fist technique. Her feline appearance must have 
pushed him over the edge and if she continued to be that close to him, 
the entire station could be in jeopardy.

	But those fears were soon dispelled as they heard a crash and saw that 
Ranma had run through the wall. Making a hole that was not supposed to 
be there. <Ranma still can�t act with the cat fist.> Akane figured.

{BEEP}

	<What happened boy? How did someone ever find out how to restore the 
power into the cursed technique. Let me in boy, I�m here to help.> 
Despite the protests, the familiarity of their minds allowed her access 
to his memories. She saw everything. Everything went fast forward until 
she saw it.

He held the smaller man close to him. His heart beat almost matching the 
rate of his own. At last, the moment he wanted was here. 

"Izumi, I love you."

Both Ranma and Salian looked up and knew for a fact that did NOT happen. 
Something was wrong. 

"CUT!!!! Who put in that Zensui Ai Broze footage?" Yelled the director. 

{BEEP}

	Passing the space ring, Ness looked out to the sun and said to his 
brother, "Take a good look Cain. It might be our last." What surprised 
him was Cain  whapping him on the back of his head. 

	"Dummy! Don�t talk like that! It�s not good luck. If we need to stop 
Darkon, we can�t let doubt get in our way.....but you are right." Both 
brothers looked out of the cockpit  to see the sun on the side of the 
planet, emerging for the new day. 

	Blinking, Akane said, "Say, doesn�t the sun always rise everytime you 
guys head into space?"

	Before anyone could respond, Ranma began to sing, ~Highway to the cheap 
stock footage. I�m gonna take you right in to the cheap stock footage. 
Highway to the cheap stock foota...~ His song was interrupted as Tina 
whacked him over the head. 

	"Sheesh, You�d think he�d actually read his script. In either case," 
she grabbed Slade�s arm, she whispered saucily "there�s actually no one 
in the back Slade." Before he could answer, Star had grabbed Tina by the 
collar and screamed,

	"You don�t give up do you?!"

	Tina smiled confidently and retorted. "You bet your sweet little 
patootie I don�t! I won�t stop �till I�ve got him." 

	Leaning over, Cain whispered to Ness. "What are you going to do?"

	"Next fic, I�m asking to make sure the author doesn�t let me have 
this... this syndrome whatever it is."

	"Good idea." Cain whispered as Tina and Star began to fight.

{BEEP}

	Reaching the moon, everyone noticed that there had been absolutely no 
activity of spider crabs or Darkon teknomen. That didn�t make anyone 
feel any better. 

	Ringo whispered ominously, "It�s quiet, too too quiet."

	Everyone groaned and smacked Ringo a few times.

{BEEP}

	Entering a large open area, the Earthen teknomen spread out with the 
teknosuits behind them to cover the rear. Just when nothing seemed to be 
there, a voice screeched,

	"HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEYYYYYY! TEKNOMEN!! ARE YOU READY 
TO RUMBLLLEEEEEEEEEE!!" Off screen, Binky the Clown from Jim Davis� 
�Garfield� yelled. Sending everyone to the ground in a painful heap. 

	Beside Binky, a small, orange cat said, "And now because you�ve been 
naughty, it�s time for "Screaming with Binky"." With that, the cat put 
on a pair of earplugs and the screaming began. 

{BEEP}

	Since both Scythe and Halberd were not as powerful as the others, 
dealing with Rapier�s speed was as painful as it was annoying. With 
every attempt to double team him, he�d whisk away to somewhere, only to 
reappear and injure either one of them when they couldn�t see. Scythe 
and Halberd met back to back and watched everywhere they�re eyes would 
let them. Panic almost controlling their minds. Then, Tina remembered 
her �seek� ability, she took a deep breath and concentrated on the 
surroundings around them. Her eyes flew open to look above her, right 
where Rapier was hiding. Evidently with a camouflage ability. Jumping 
up, she kicked Rapier. 

	She was aiming for his head, but sadly missed and hit somewhere else. 
Poor Rapier was talking like Michel Jackson for the rest of the shoot.

{BEEP}

	Then, the streams that held them all, raised and slammed all of them 
into the ground several times. Making craters, everyone in Darkon�s 
grasp screamed in agony as not only they crashed against the hard 
surface of the moon, but as painful power surged through all of them 
like liquid fire. After several bashings, they were all thrown this way 
and that like toys. 

	Just then, several of the teknomen collapsed and the toys that they 
really were, broke. 

	"Aw, shoot." Darkon said, looking at all the broken toys. 

{BEEP}

	"FOOL! HOW DARE YOU EVEN TRY! YOU WILL SUFFER FOR IT!" 

	Darkon brought the pointed end of his staff up and began to thrust it 
at the stationary Slade. Ness closed his eyes, waiting for the end to 
happen. He was so close, just a few more seconds and he would have 
accumulated enough power to use the weapon. After several seconds of 
what the end was supposed to be, he looked up to see the staff end. With 
a whole three feet to spare. He then heard another voice, but even 
though it came from Darkon�s body, it wasn�t his. 

	"Ness! I can�t hold him for much longer! You�ve got to kill me! If you 
don�t then others will suffer! Don�t hold back!"

	Ness gasped, it was Conrad! Conrad was holding Darkon back, giving Ness 
enough time to use the weapon. With the energy collection complete, he 
aimed it at Darkon�s head. The power was tearing him apart, why wasn�t 
he letting the shot go? It had to be Conrad. Ness didn�t want to lose 
him again. Just then, Darkon began to advance once more. Seeing this, 
Slade released and screamed,

	"NOVA WAVE!!!!!!!!!"

	Instead of the light and sound spectacular we all would expect. The 
only thing the energy crystals let out was a small puff of steam. 

	"Hey! Who took out the batteries?" Facefaulting ensued.

{BEEP}

	"SLEEEEEEEP!" She turned in surprise to see a oily looking old man with 
scary eyes, stand in her face. Achika, in near rage, pulled the man 
away.

	"Lombardi! Your power can�t work on her remember? How many times do we 
have to tell you?"

	The old man frowned and walked away. Only to return again and say, 
"Hello, SLEEEEEEEP!" In agitation, Shara and Achika whapped him away.

{BEEP}

	Darkon couldn�t believe this. He was about to reply when his daughter 
kissed him on the cheek and hugged him as tight as her tiny body would 
allow her. <Eka, Nisho. I...I...> Once more, he was interrupted. Neigas 
had reappeared and had placed a hand on his shoulder. He spoke with that 
same gentle voice. 

	<My friend. You have earned your rest. You have nothing to worry about 
any more.> With that, he vanished once more, leaving him alone with his 
wife and child once more. Darkon couldn�t hold back anymore, he let his 
tears of joy run free as he embraced both his wife and child. 
	
	"And... CUT! Wonderful!" Yelled the director. Darkon lifted up his 
daughter and looked to the director. Everywhere, the crews were starting 
to pick up all the equipment, knowing that the shot was complete. 

	"So, we�re done?" Darkon asked simply. 

	"Yep. We�re done, you folks can go home. And great job by the way."

	Darkon smiled and hugged his daughter while she kissed the side of his 
head.. "Thank you." The family started out for the dressing room. The 
job was done.
