<Brian, Erica, and Julia are in the theater, talking about 
nothing....much like the final "Seinfeld".  :-)>

Brian: Oh, hi everyone!  Today, we're looking at the Flashman's latest 
story for Trio!
Erica: Okay, I really can't see it....Ranma and Usagi?
Brian: Well...they do have ameisia (sp).
Erica: True enough.
Julia: Okay then....roll it!

Okay folks, before we begin.  I want you to know that this is an OSA..
. that stands for, Original Story Adventure (the fanfic equivolent of 
an OAV... or is that OVA?)

    Erica: And the debate rages....
    Julia: and that's "equivalent"

Also, can anyone spot the two gratuitous cameos?

     All: Uh, oh....

      Brian: Why am I not surprised.
      Erica: Huh?
      Brian: The kaiju angle.
      Julia: Kaiju???
      Brian: Godzilla and his/her(?) kinfolk.
      Julia: Oh.

[WARNING: This arc of TRIO contains scenes of intense graphic 
violence.  Those with weak stomachs may want to skip over this arc.  
This is more like an OAV or a movie, then part of the main story 
anyway.]

   Brian: Airsick bags ready?
   E and J: Check!


	She was floating through the mystical void, searching, trying to 
find her way.  She drew closer and closer to her objective, keeping 
the image of it firmly in her mind.  The image of a friend, gone for 
far too long.

	She was close, and then...

	"Well?  Did you find her?"

	"Is she okay?"

	"What's happening?"

	"How is she?"

	"Please tell us she's okay."

        Brian: Arewethereyet?Arewethereyet?Arewethereyet?.....
        E and J: <hypermallet smash>
        Brian: <moondust>


	Her concentration broken by the questions, Rei Hino turned away from 
the fire alter in front of her and roared, "WILL YOU ALL SHUT UP!"

      All: <reel back form the force of Mar's scream>

	The other Senshi and Mamoru, jumped back in surprise at the fire 
priestess's violent outburst.  She continued, "I'm just as worried as 
the rest of you, but if you keep asking me questions every two 
seconds, I'm never going to be able to get a fix on her!"

	Giving the others an evil look, she added, "And if I heard one more 
interruption from anybody, I'm going to sacrifice them to the fire."

     All: <sweatdrop>

	The others fell silent, not willing to find out if their friend was 
bluffing or not.

	Rei turned back to the fire and concentrated again.  To herself, she 
thought, "Okay.  Maybe that was a little harsh, but I really am just 
as worried as the rest of you."

	Sinking back into a deeper state of consciousness, Rei traveled on 
another plane, using her skills and natural ability to journey the 
distance of half the world at the speed of thought.  Before her, the 
area of the world on the psychic plane that was New York was sprawled 
out before her.

	The psycic plane looked much different then the normal one.  What 
was once blue was purple.  What was once green was orange.  Rei 
herself was literally a ghostly white and, for some reason, whenever 
she traveled on the psycic plane, she got the impression that she 
wasn't wearing any clothing.  Although, mirrors didn't work on the 
plane and so, she wasn't certain.

        Brian: Minor nitpick: it's "psychic".

	She dove down towards the city's aura, but came upon a barrier.  The 
psycic shock was mild, not enough to knock her out of the state she 
was in, but enough to deny her entry into the city, where her friend 
currently was.  "What the..." she thought.

         Erica: Gridlock on the Psychic Highway....
         Julia: Bumper to bumper souls.

	She tried several more times to get through, with no success, then 
sent her essence up higher, to get a view of the city.  She frowned 
as she saw that the city was covered in an invisible dome of dark 
energy.  She wondered if it was some kind of psycic shield, but then 
saw another psycic form, a bald man in a wheelchair, zoom out from 
the city and then return seconds later.

	"So the block is just against complete outsiders," Rei thought, "Ami 
did say that this Eclipse Syndicate did know about the Sailor Senshi..
. so they might have found a way to keep people with Senshi auras out 
of con..."

             Brian: All who doubt it?
             <Erica and Julia riase their hands>

	She stopped as she sensed a disturbance slightly to the north of 
where the city was.  Curious, she went to examine it.

	The disturbance was in a range of mountains called the Anarondaks 
and she probed deeper, looking for the source...

	And then, her mind was assaulted by thoughts and images so alien... 
so incompatible... so... so... EVIL, was the only word she could 
think of, that her connection to the psycic world was severed and the 
next thing she knew, she found herself being awakened by the others, 
after having collapsed on the floor of the temple.

          Brian: <Grandpa Simpson> It's EVIL, I tell you!!!  EVIL!!!!
          E and J: <facefault>
           <snip>


	"What happened?" Ami asked.

	Rei was about to answer, to tell them what she had sensed, but then, 
a higher power intervened.

	"I..." she said as she rubbed her temples, "I... I don't remember."

             Erica: How....convienent....

	Another temple, somewhere else in Japan...

	The phone ringing unexpectedly made everyone jump in surprise.  The 
group of three women and two men... no, the group of three goddesses, 
one god and one man, then registered what it was and four of them 
quickly went back to eating.

          Erica: ...the hell.....?
          Brian: Ladies and (any germs who might be in the 
area)...Cameo #1!

	"I'll get it," Belldandy said as she stood and exited the dining 
room.

	As the others ate, they could hear the phone ring two more times 
before its fourth ring was cut off by Belldandy picking it up and 
then they could hear Belldandy's side of the conversation.

	"Hello?  I see.  I see.  I see.  I... understand.  Yes.  Yes.  Good 
bye."

	Soon, the goddess returned to the room and took her place back at 
the table.  However, her seemingly eternal cheer had been replaced by 
a look of... fear?  "Who was it, Sis?" Urd asked, around a mouthful 
of food and sake.

        Brian: This is morning, right??
        Erica: This is Urd we're talking about.

	"It was Kami-sama," Belldandy replied, "He said it is time."

	"'Time'?" the two males asked as the other Goddesses turned pale.

        Brian: <checks watch> 10:31 P.M.

	Once she swallowed her food, Urd exclaimed, "Aw SHIT!  It's too 
early!  He's not supposed to return until AFTER the turn of the 
century!"

	"'He'?" the tallest of the group, Christopher Angel, God of Moments, 
asked.

              Erica: Barney?
              Julia: Hon, that WAY too evil.

	He was completely ignored as Skuld shook her head and replied to her 
sister, "Don't you remember?  Because of a scheduling error, he had 
to come earlier this century then originally planed."

            Erica: Because of Window 98, right?

       
	"'He'?" Chris asked again, his voice a bit more harsh then the 
previous time.

	This was also ignored as Belldandy said, "That does not matter.  
What does matter is that we must prepare the ones who will battle him.
"

	Keiichi edged back as Chris's fists balled up, then decided it might 
be best to be sitting on the porch.  Chris then shouted, "WILL 
 
       Brian: Smart idea, Keiichi.    

SOMEONE *PLEASE* TELL ME WHO 'HE' IS BEFORE I GO *INSANE*?!!!"

         All: Too late!!

	The Goddesses looked at each other grimly before they turned their 
gaze on their brother and Belldandy said, "We thought we would have 
time to better prepare you for what is to come, however, Kami-sama 
and the Mah-oh have decided that is not to be."

         Julia: The who?

	Taking a deep breath, Belldandy continued, "When the Universe was 
first created, Kami-sama and the Mah-oh came to an agreement.  A 
direct war between the two of them and their forces would accomplish 
nothing but the destruction of the Universes they each wished to have 
sway over.

       Erica: Point.

	"So, to find a way to decide who would rule what and when, the two 
sides decided on a compromise.  The Mah-oh and his minions created a 
creature.  A terrible monster that could drain entire planets dry of 
life energy and leave them desolate dirt balls.  The challenge for 
our side was to find champions on the planet that the creature, named 
Death Ghidora, was draining and position them to fight and defeat the 
monster.  If Death Ghidora won, then it would move on to the next 
planet and the Mah-oh would be able to control certain planets.  If 
our champions won, we would keep control of the planets and Death 
Ghidora would be resurrected in another galaxy sometime in the next 
century.

         Brian: You see?  King Ghidora.  A kaiju, like Godzilla.


	"For the most part, we have been successful.  However, the last time 
the creature was brought into the Sol system..."

	Belldandy paused, as if the memory was painful.  "It was shortly 
after the fall of the Silver Millennium.  While the civilization 
itself had been obliterated by Metalia, the planets themselves were 
quite fertile and the few survivors on the other planets might have 
been able to rebuild their separate civilizations."

	Tears formed at the edges of Belldandy's eyes, "Death Ghidora never 
gave them the chance."

         Julia: I thought Saturn Silenced the other planets.

	"You said," Chris replied thoughtfully, "'the last time the creature 
was brought into the Sol system'.  That would mean..." the tall god 
trailed off, then groaned, "Oooooh HELL."

	"Death Ghidora is being resurrected on Earth," Urd finished.

             Brian: And thus, the excrement hits the ventilation 
device.

	Elsewhere....

	Leather wings stretched.  Bloodshot eyes opened.  White teeth 
flashed.  A birdlike cry echoed around canyons.

	The Shadow Of Calamity flew off into the night.

                Brian: If this is what I think it is, then I think you 
may have contradicted yourself, Flash.
                Erica: Huh? 
                Brian: Later.

	Outside a movie theater in New York....

	"You should have TOLD me!" Usagi growled as she kept her back firmly 
facing Ranma.

	"Are you STILL upset about that?!" Ranma shot back.

	"Look," Usagi said as she turned around and faced him, "I'm glad 
that you feel that you should follow through on our deal... but what 
if you get stranded somewhere and need cab fare?  Or what if you need 
to buy dinner?  I don't want you getting in trouble because of me.  
Can't you wait until after you get paid again?"

	Ranma replied, "No.  I promised I'd do it tonight... and what kind 
of man would I be if I didn't follow through on my promises."

              Brian: A man who wouldn't be in so much trouble right 
now.  :-)
                <snip>

	"I got you a couple of flowers."

	Usagi looked over her shoulder and noticed that Ranma was holding 
six assorted flowers.  They were so pretty, there was even a red rose 
among them, her favorite. Still, she was trying to stay angry at him..
..

          Erica: <shifty look> Gee....I wonder why roses are her 
favorite.
          Julia: Gonna love to see what happens when they get their 
memories back.
          <snip>

	Ranma blinked, and the next thing he knew, Usagi had thrown herself 
at him and wrapped her arms around his chest as she exclaimed, "I can 
forgive almost anything for those Jelly Rings!"
 
            All: LOL!!!!
            Brian: That's our Usagi!

	Ahead of them, someone complained, "Would you PLEASE leave me alone?
!"

	"But..." the tan skinned, platinum haired woman in unusual clothing, 
who was standing next to him said, "she misses you so much.  You miss 
your little red head too, don't you?"

	The man the woman was talking to, was dressed much like Ryoga had 
been, with the exception that everything was dyed purple.  He looked 
a lot like Troy, yet the hair was in a different style and a bit 
longer.

            Brian: <blinks> Lurker??

	Suddenly, a giant of a man appeared next to the woman and said, "Urd,
 leave the poor guy alone.  We've got work to do... as you've kept 
reminding me every damn second since we arrived."

	"But Bro," the woman called Urd replied as she turned to the tall 
man, almost whining as she did so, "they really are miserable without 
each other!"

	"Which is why YOU should stay out of it."

	Urd stuck her tounge out at her brother and turned back...

	Only to discover that the Eternal Lost Lurker had chosen to make 
like his name.

               Brian: ...and do a Ryouga.
               Erica: And get Hikaru back.  <glares at Lurker> Right?

	"Oh poopie," the woman called Urd muttered as she stalked off.

	The big man followed her and yelled, "Hey!  Wait up!"

	"I wonder what that was all about," Usagi said.

	Ranma shrugged and replied, "Beats me."

              Erica: You probally don't want to know.
             <hyper-section-snip>

	In the sky....

	The Shadow of Calamity had fallen on New York City and had begun its 
feast.  There was much suitable prey here.  As was The Prey, of 
course.

	It chewed and swallowed the last remains of it's previous victim and 
began it's search for the next one.

            Julia: Yuk!! Floss once in a century, would you!

	There.  A flash of white fur near a sewer grate.  The creature The 
Shadow Of Calamity had chosen was small, yet, it sensed the enormous 
power radiating from it.  The Shadow dove, but the creature it had 
been hunting, rushed back into the sewer grate and down into the maze 
below the city.

             Brian: Any bets it's P-Chan?

	With a squawk of frustration, the Shadow Of Calamity moved on.

	On a rooftop, an hour later...

	Urd sighed, "Just our luck.  They weren't at home, so we gotta 
search the entire city.  Fuck!"

              Erica: <throws a bar of soap in Urd's mouth>

	"I wish," Chris said, "these rules you three briefed me on, would 
let us use one of Skuld's trackers to find them."

               Brian: Nahh, too easy.

	"To borrow one of your phrases, Bro," Urd replied, "'Not bloody 
likely'."

	"What are YOU doing here?"

	The two deities jumped in surprise and turned around.  Standing 
behind them, were Sailor Pluto and Trunks, in his super form.  "Hello,
" Urd said after recovering from her shock, and in an eerily polite 
tone, "bitch."

	"Hello," Pluto replied in the same tone, "genocidest."

           Brian: My, aren't they friendly.

	Trunks looked at Chris with a, "what the hell is this about" look 
and the god replied with a, "how the hell should I know" shrug.

         Julia: Trust me, stay out of it.

	"I'll ask again," the Senshi said, "What are you doing here?"

	Urd replied, "The Shadow Of Calamity has fallen on this city."

	"We both know it is far too early for that."

	"Computer error."

           Erica: Windows 98?


	"Of course.  Let me guess, the champions happen to be a team of 
three heroes who I happen to be currently watching over."

	"Yep."

           Brian: Such is fate.  <claps hands.  An anvil fall on him>

	Pluto sighed, "I have always known you to be petty, Urd."

           Erica: ....and drunk!

	"Shut up!  I didn't chose them!  Me and my bro here, can only show 
them what to do!"

	"I find it interesting that you talk to me of not having a choice."

	"YOU went ahead and saved him when we told you not to!  Those lives 
are on YOUR hands!"

	"Do not DARE to blame me!  I was willing to take any punishment... 
those innocent people were not!"

	"Wasn't my decision!"

	"But you suggested it to Kami-sama!"

	"I wasn't serious!"

	"He certainly thought you were!"

	The two almost came to blows at that point, but the males jumped in 
front of them and Trunks said, "Excuse us but..."

	"... don't we have work to do?" Chris finished.

               All: <looking quite dazed by that point (think tennis 
match spectators> 
               Brian:...the hell just happened?

	There was a moment of chilly silence and then Pluto began to walk 
forward.  When she was directly next to the goddess, Pluto whispered, 
"Be glad that Belldandy is not here.  Or I would have tried to find 
out if a goddess can die by a mortals hands."

               All: <gulp and hypersweatdropsX1,500>
              Brian: Nope, no hard feelings here at all....
              Julia: Though Keiichi would have a reason to take a swing 
at her if Pluto did try to clobber Bell.
              Erica: Ah, love.  Ain't it sweet?
              Julia: That it is, dear.
              Brian: <facefault>

	As she continued to walk by, Chris whispered to Trunks, "How come I 
get the feeling that, if I ask..."

	"... we'll just be told that it's a very long story," Trunks 
finished, "And I've got the feeling this one's a doozy."

        Brian: Very much a doozy.

	Chris nodded sagely and, as the two grinned a grin of shared 
suffering, replied, "When this is over, I plan to set aside time for 
the answer."

	"Ditto."

        Brian: Ah, yes.  The Suffering Males of Anime Club.  I did some 
casting calls for Destiny's Path from that club.
         <snip>

	An hour later....

	Sayaman sighed.  With Usagi and Ranma out on a date, he'd been alone 
in the house and, since there was nothing better to do, decided to go 
on patrol.  Now, he might have to find the others and fill them in on 
that... butchering, he had stumbled upon.

	He was certain nothing human could have done it.  Plus the fact that 
the police officer had continued to babble on about a bird, long 
after back up and an ambulance had arrived, made Sayaman suspicious.  

           Erica: With a nice, tight, white jacket, right?     

"Maybe it was one of those Genetiks... but why would it do something 
like that?" he thought, "Could it be one that escaped and has gone 
rouge?"

          Julia: Fat chance.

	Suddenly, he heard a shout of terror below him and Sayaman dove 
towards the source.  He landed in a garbage filled alley and tried to 
make out shapes in the darkness.

	Two figures were locked together, one human, one obviously not.  
Finally, they separated with the nonhuman form standing and something 
dangling out of its mouth.  Sayaman formed a pulsing ball of ki in 
his right hand and threw it up in the air, to both light the alley 
and get a better view of what was going on.

          Julia: Beats flares any day.

	For the second time that night, he felt the urge to vomit, as he 
looked at the creature in front of him.

	The creature was a five foot high, lizard-like bird.  With brown, 
leathery skin, a wedge shaped crest on top of it's head, with black 
eyes staring out from under the rim the crest provided, talloned feet 
and a long, sharp beak that was filled with razor sharp teeth.

           Brian: Yep.  Gyaos sighting confirmed.

	What made Sayaman sick however, was that, dangling from the 
creatures' mouth, was an eyeball and the fleshy cord that connected 
it to the brain.  The creature paused to look at Sayaman for a second,
 its head bobbing in a stuttering imitation of a true birds', then it 
slurped up the eyeball and its cord like a spaghetti strand.  The 
woman that the monster had been attacking would never miss the eye, 
as her throat was slashed, blood soaking her ragged clothes.

             All:<green in the face>
            Erica: <flashbacks to her hometown's destruction.  She 
shudders, and Julia hugs her>

	Sayaman came out of his shock and rushed the creature.  However, the 
wings on the monsters back unfolded to their full, ten foot, length 
and the beast flapped them several times, creating a wind storm that 
pushed Sayaman back.  As the monster flapped, it began to shriek, 
each one getting louder then the next.  Sayaman felt his ears 
starting to ring and then, after a buildup of three shrieks, the 
monster let loose with a golden beam of pure sound from its mouth.

          Brian: Yech.  Ugly and tough.
          Erica: A few lucky particle shots would get it however.
          Brian: I doubt it.

	Sayaman was knocked into a row of garbage cans by the Sonic Beam and 
the monster used the opportunity to fly off at a speed greater then 
Mach One.

	Sayaman was about to fly off after it, when a woman behind him said, 
"Wait!  You can't fight Gyaos yet!"

	"Gyaos?" Sayaman asked as he turned towards the source of the voice.


	A woman and a very big man, were standing at the lip of the alley, 
the woman nodded and said, "The Shadow Of Calamity, Gyaos.  That's 
what you were looking at.  You and your two team mates can't fight 
him... and the evil he heralds, yet.  Not until Sis can initiate the 
three of you."

	"Initiate?  What's going on here?!"

	"Nothing much," the man said, "Just, possibly, the end of the world.
"
                All: <sing "It's The End Of The World" from ID4>


	"Who are you?"

	"My name's Christopher Angel, God of Moments.  This, is my sister, 
Urd, Goddess of the Past and Love... that second one's her opinion 
though."

             Brian: Her...personal and thus, highly subjective opinion.

	Sayaman blinked as Urd smacked Chris in the stomach with an elbow.

	"Anyway," Chris said as he recovered, "here's the Readers Digest 
version of what's going to happen..."

	Even the "Readers Digest version", was a long story and, after he 
had explained it all to Sayaman, the sun glasses wearing hero paused 
to reflect on what he had been told.

	Sayaman had been growing more confident in his ki abilities lately, 
and he'd discovered, if he concentrated hard enough and in the right 
way, he could use his ki senses as a crude form of a lie detector.  
The god and goddess, as they called themselves, weren't lying, yet, 
the female one seemed... distracted by something.

	Little did he know that the sum of Urd's thoughts at the moment were,
 "He's pretty cute."


          All: <facefault>
        <snip>

	And somewhere in the Andarondaks, an even more powerful monster 
slept.  Dreaming of the death and destruction it would soon bring to 
the world.

          All: <hum dramatic "doom" theme>

TO BE CONTINUED....




     Erica: Nice going, Flash.
     Julia: Yes.  A few errors, but still a good story.  And right 
around the time a certain movie is coming out!  Nice.  Now, what were 
you going to say....
     Brian: Yes, well, Gyaos is from a Gamera movie (saw it on PPV, had 
fun picking out Eva voice-overs) and in his .sig file once, Flash 
stated, and I quote: Godzilla Rules, Gamera Drools!
      Erica: So?
      Brian: Wouldn't he be contradicting himself, using a kaiju from a 
Gamera movie?
      Julia: Is he using Gamera itself?
      Brian: I hope not.  Ten story tall lizards I can see trashing 
NYC.  Ten story tall turtle-rejects I can't.  
      Erica: Unless they came from the sewers...
      Julia: Arggghhhhh.  Honey, that was bad.
      Erica: I try.  <grins>
      Brian: Anyway, good story, Flashman, and where, BTW is that 
SM/Godzilla story you've been promising?  
      All: Good night!
      <The three walk out>

  Ja ne!
