Unmasked part 6 8:45 pm, Nov. 2nd (outside) LC: I’ve never met a boy with cat ears before. DJ: You wanna scratch them? LC: Umm....... no, that’s OK. (Makoto’s room) Y: (petting Ozz) M: (lying on her bed reading manga, trying her best to stay calm) J: (patrolling the hall with King James) L-Hawk, demon, or whatever. If that thing comes here, it won’t be leaving without tasting the cold steel of King James. *sigh* Aisha. How can I explain myself to you? How can I convince you... huh? Who’s there!? (Makoto’s room) O: (suddenly sits up) Y: Ozz, what’s the matter? O: (flies up and looks around in a panicked state, flies off) M: Where’s he off to? ???: Ahh! M: Hmm? What was that? YS: (psychic flash) Artukei’s in trouble! M: What?! J: (from down the hall) Get away from me!! AAAAHH!!! M: Justin-san!! M and YS: (run out of the room and down the hall, turn the corner and see...) ???: Grrrrrr! M: It’s the monster! YS: Where’s Artukei? M: *gasp* (looks behind the monster and sees torn clothes and a blood-stained King James) YS: Where’s Artukei, you stinking... ???: RAAR!! (lunges at Yuki and Makoto) YS and M: AAAH!! ???: (leaps over them and heads towards the stairs) M: (picks up Justin’s blood-stained shirt) No. (downstairs, living room) KL: (on her intercom) Anything yet, Lebia? LM: Nothing. Same as it was since we got here. KP: *sigh* Hey Yuki, I’m starting to think that your friend is full of... YS: Kiddy! The Lucifer Hawk just appeared. It’s coming downstairs. KL: What? KP: Finally! (runs toward the main hall) (main hall) ???: (running down the stairs) KP: I got you now! (shoots at the monster) ???: (leaps on top of Kiddy, the bullet-wounds heal instantaneously) DJ and LC: (run in) DJ: (leaps at the monster) YAA!! ???: (jumps out of the way and onto the wall) DJ: (lands on Kiddy) KP: Oof! DJ: Sorry. LC: (swings her Jesso sword) I summon the power of fire! (flames shoot out) ???: (dodges the flames and runs into the kitchen) LC: Damn it! That thing’s fast! KP: (on her intercom) Katsumi, Aisha, it’s coming your way! (living room) KL: How can this be? We received no signal. Nami, how’s the barrier? NY: Still intact. Nothing has breached it. KL: This is impossible. Unless... A: Katsumi! KL: (turns around) ???: Hisssssss. KL: (shoots at the monster) ???: (runs along the wall, dodging the bullets) A: RAAAR!! (leaps at the monster, dragging it down) ???: (jumps out of Aisha’s grasp) KP: (appears at the other entrance of the living room, gun drawn, Yuki, Lum, and DJ are behind her) Hold it right there! ???: Grrrrrrr! (backs up) KP: Move in people! We’ve got it cornered. I gotta tell you, Katsumi. I’ve never seen a Lucifer Hawk like this. KL: Isn’t it obvious, Kiddy? It has no reading on Lebia’s scanners and it’s immune to Nami’s barrier. This is no Lucifer Hawk. A: Nya? (looks at the monster and suddenly notices a small scar on the left side of it’s face, the same place where she struck Justin the other night) It can’t be! Justin?! ???: Grrrrrrr! (breaks through the window and runs into the woods) A: It all makes sense now. KP: Damn! (reloads her gun) Well, Lucifer Hawk or not, we’ve been hired to kill it. A: (thrusts her arm in front of Kiddy) HOLD IT! KP: Huh? Everyone else: What? A: No offense, but since it’s not a Lucifer Hawk, we don’t need you. And second, this is personal. That thing tried to kill me. He’s mine! (leaps out the window) KL: Aisha, wait! A: (runs on all fours into woods) KL: Wow. She’s pretty fast. (the woods) A: *sniff sniff* (runs deeper into the woods for about a hundred feet, stops) *sniff sniff* (stands up) ......Justin? It’s OK. I’m not going to hurt you. (silence) A: Well, come on out a show yourself, you stinking demon!! ???: (jumps down from a tree) RAAR!! A: Justin, I know you’re in there, and I can understand what you’re going through. You have to fight this. I know you can do it. You can’t let this side win. You can’t let... ???: (snaps at Aisha) A: (undaunted) You can’t let your darkness consume you. You have to fight it. ???: *snarl* A: (kneels down) Don’t let these emotions control you: hate, rage, lust. Don’t loose to them. Because there’s so much in you that’s stronger than that. Your nobility,.... your thoughtfulness,.... your righteousness,.... your sense of humor,.... and your love. (reaches out her hand) ???: Grrrrrr. A: (holds his face) Look at me. I know you can do it. Fight it! ???: Grrrrrr. (looks into Aisha’s eyes, face winces for a second, eyes slowly turn from red to brown) Ah..... Ai-sha. A: Yes. Fight it, Justin. You can do it! ???: Hnnn! Urg! AAAH!! The demon slowly starts to transform back. The three fingers spread apart and become five. The two spikes on his back start to sink into the skin. The hair recedes and the muzzle and ears grow shorter. By now he appears almost human. The last things to disappear are the tips of the spikes. J: *pant pant* Hnnn! Ah! *pant pant* A: (crying) I knew you could do it. J: (looks up) Aisha. I... what’ve I done? A: (hugs Justin) It’s OK. Everything’s gonna be OK. J: Makoto... and... I could’ve killed you!! A: Shh. It’s OK. I forgive you... J: Huh? A: ...for everything. J: ........ (hugs Aisha, starts to cry) Thank you, Aisha. Thank you. A: (ears twitch) Nya? The others are coming. J: Don’t... please don’t tell them. If any of them knew... A: I won’t. You’d better hide. J: Huh? (realizes he’s completely naked) Aah! A: Woo hoo. ^_~ J: (blushes) Er... cut it out! ???: eeeeeeee A: What the heck is that? ???: EEEEEEE! (smacks into Justin) J: Ozz! O: (hugs Justin) Zooo zooo zooooo! J: What do you mean “you thought you lost me?” A: Wait. Ozz, take him back to the house. Quick! O: (nods, teleports him and Justin to the house) “FLASH!” A: (bites her lip) Ow! (takes the blood and smears it on her lips and fingers) KL: Aisha! Are you OK? Where’d the monster go? A: It ran off, but I gave it a fatal wound. So I wouldn’t worry about it coming back. KP: What about Artukei? A: Nya? YS: (crying) The monster killed him! A: Impossible. Justin’s an excellent fighter. He couldn’t loose to something that ugly. I wouldn’t be surprised if he was still back at the house. (Makoto’s room) M: (lying on her bed crying, clutching Justin’s bloody shirt) J: (now fully clothed) Makoto? M: (looks up) *sniff* J: You OK? M: JUSTIN-SAN!!! (runs towards Justin and hugs him, still crying) *sob, sob* J: (pats her head) Shh. It’s OK. M: *sniff* What happened to you? J: The monster knocked me into the bathroom. I woke up just a few minutes ago. M: *sniff* You... you dick!! J: What?! M: I thought you were dead, ASS-HOLE!! (punches him in the stomach) J: OOF!! (bends over) *cough, cough* Gimmie a break, will ya? *cough* For those of you who are unfamiliar with the series "Silent Mobius" and the girls of the AMP, I think my newest WLPR will help to introduce you. I really didn't want to put it in "Original Anime," but I had no choice. Till our next adventure, ja ne! L8R!

Unmasked part 5 2:30 pm, Nov. 2nd KL: Allow me to introduce myself. I am Katsumi Liqueur; leader of the AMP. J: (shakes her hand) It’s a pleasure to finally meet you, Miss Katsumi. KL: Same here. Yuki’s told us so much about you, Artukei. J: Oh, has she? KL: I’ll let the rest of my team introduce themselves. KP: (steps forward) Kiddy Phenil. (holds out her hand) Glad to meet you. J: Me too. (shakes her hand) I’ve never shaken hands with a cyborg before. NY: I am Nami Yamigumo. (bows) Nice to meet you. J: (returns bow) Kochirakoso yoroshiku. NY: Ah! Nihongo ga jozu desu! J: (shakes head) Ie, madamada desu. YS: ^_^ J: Now, you I already know. How’s it going, Yuki? YS: (hugs Justin, salutes) Yuki Saiko, reporting for duty. LM: Lebia Maverick. It’s a pleasure to meet you. J: The pleasure’s all mine. And you must be Lum Cheng. LC: You’re a lot cuter than Yuki said you were. J: Uh... LC: Hehe. Nice to meet you, Artukei. (shakes his hand) KL: So, about this Lucifer Hawk. Is that what did this to you? (points at the small scar on his left cheek) J: Huh? No. No, that’s.... something else. Actually, I wasn’t here when the creature attacked. Long story. A: But we were. It came into our room while we were sleeping. M: It clawed up the walls and everything! KL: Show us. (Makoto’s room) KL: (examining the claw marks) LM: You say knives came out of it’s hands? A: I think they were spikes, but he used them like knives. LM: Hmm. Most unusual. LC: How do you know it was a “he”? A: I kicked it. LC: Ooo, that had to hurt. M: Why would a Lucifer Hawk come here? KP: Lucifer Hawks don’t need a reason to cause terror, kid. Especially on Halloween. KL: We’ll worry about that later. Right now we need to make this place secure. (outside) NY: (sets up a barrier on the front door. Not a barrier like a fence or something. You know, one of those slips of paper with Asian characters on them.) KL: (with Justin) Lebia will be our lookout. She’ll be watching the ship’s scanners and she’ll alert us if they pick up anything. Lum, you stay out here with Nami. You’ll be our first line of defense. LC: Right! J and KL: (walk back inside) J: No offense, but how can that “post-it note” keep us safe? KL: Nami’s a Shinto priestess. Her barrier is an incantation that’ll protect this entire house, no matter which direction the Lucifer Hawk comes from. J: (nods) So desu ka. KL: And from what the girls told us, it sounds like we’re dealing with a pretty standard L-Hawk. If that’s the case, then it won’t stand a chance of getting in. J: Yokata! (Japanese for: “Thank the good Lord almighty!”) KL: But on the off chance that it does, the rest of us will be inside ready to take it down. A: Along with me. KL: What? Miss Aisha, are you sure? A: As an officer of the Ctarl-ctarl empire, it is my duty to protect this house and its occupants. J: Imperial Officer. Weren’t you stripped of that title? A: (glares at Justin) You’re already on thin ice, BOY. So don’t push it. J: (looks down) A: Plus, I owe him. (shows her bandaged side) KL: Hmm... J: If she fights, I fight too. KL: Huh? J: I may not have the title of an officer, but I do have combat skills. If anyone or anything threatens my friends and/or loved ones, I would defend them with my life. And if they were harmed, (glances at Aisha) my vengeance would be very swift. A: Hmph! Then where were you the other night? NY: (walks in) Excuse me, Artukei, but there’s someone outside. He says his name is Vashspiegel. J: Deej? DJ: (walks in) Hey Justin! J: Deej, this really isn’t the time. DJ: No, I heard about what’s going on and I want to help. J, A, and KL: What? DJ: (turns into cat-demon form) My cat powers and mastery of washi-yu-style kung fu may be of assistance. J: DJ, this isn’t just some play-fight. This is the real deal. Have you ever fought a Lucifer Hawk? DJ: No, but that doesn’t matter. I’m not the kind of guy who sits around while his friends are in trouble. J: *deep breath* OK, Deej. You can help. You do realize that you are getting involved out of your own free will, and that neither I nor the AMP are responsable for any injuries you may or will recieve? DJ: Yeah, yeah. J: Well, Katsumi, I’m fine with it if you are. KL: Very well then. DJ, is it? You can stay outside with Lum and Nami. Aisha, you’ll be stationed on the ground floor with me and Kiddy. And Artukei, you take the second floor. I’ll send Yuki with you so we can keep in touch.

Unmasked part 4 9:06 am, Nov. 1st (Makoto’s room) M: Zzzzz... A: Zzz. Mmm. (wakes up, opens her eyes and sees something on the futon next to her) AAAH!! J: AAAH! A: Justin! How dare you! J: Aisha, I can explain! M: Justin-san! (runs over and glomps Justin) J: OOF! M: I never thought I’d be so glad to see you. J: Well, I’m glad somebody is. Wait. What? Why are you so glad to see me? M: We were attacked last night! J: You were what?! Oh, some kids tried to egg and TP the house last night, right? M: No! Something broke into the house. J: Something? You mean like an animal? A: What do you think? (points at the clawmarks on the walls) J: Holy shnikes! (gets up and examines the marks) Oh my gosh. A: That’s not all it did. (the dojo) J: What the frak! It broke down the door? What was it? Like a bear or something? M: It almost killed Aisha! J: Now that’s impossible. Ctarl-ctarls are invulnerable. A: Actually... (lifts up her shirt and shows her bandaged side) J: Oh my god. Are you alright? (reaches out to hold her) A: (steps back) I’m fine. J: .....Well, what did it look like? M: A monster! Ugly! Big ugly monster! A: It had dark fur and two big spikes coming out of its back. Its weapons were very unusual. A long spike came out of each hand right here (points between her middle and ring finger) and it used them like daggers. It was...OH! (falls down) J: Aisha! (kneels down, tries to help her up) A: Get off of me! J: You used your beast strength last night, didn’t you? You haven’t eaten anything since then. That’s why you’re so exhausted. C’mon, let’s get you to the kitchen. (tries to help her up again) A: Don’t you dare touch me! (tries to swat his hand off but she’s too weak) J: *deep breath* Aisha... about last night... A: (looks away) I don’t want to talk about it. J: (turns her head towards him) Well I do! I’m sorry. A: Nya? J: From the bottom of my heart, I am eternally sorry. I don’t know what possessed me. I didn’t mean to say those things, I didn’t mean to do what I almost did, I... (eyes start to moisten) I would never do anything to hurt you, Aisha. A: ........ J: I’m sorry. I know you’ll never be able to forgive me, and I can understand that. And I know that you probably want to leave and never see my face again, and I can understand that too. A: ......I’m not leaving. J: What? A: It’s not what you think. This house is currently under threat. And I see it as my duty to stay here until we get to the bottom of this. J: OK. (kitchen) M: So Justin-san, where were you last night? J: ......Praying. M: All night? J: Deep thought and meditation, mostly. I just... needed to conquer some inner demons. M: Did you? J: ......I think so. (nods) Still, that wound the monster gave Aisha is beginning to mend. But the wound between me and her... M: Hey, it’ll be OK. J: I wish I had your confidence. M: So... what do we do if that thing comes back? J: Well, first we need to know what we’re up against. That creature doesn’t sound like anything natural. M: Most monsters aren’t. J: Hmm. Made any “good friends” out in space, Aisha? A: Plenty. But I’ve never fought anything like that before. If I had, I would’ve killed it. J: Hmm. Anybody got anything against you, Makoto? M: Just you. J: (jokingly) I wouldn’t send a monster. I’d come after you myself. M: -_-\/ Thanks. J: So I guess that leaves me. What’s anybody got against me? I don’t have any enemies. M: Except for DBZ fans. J: Nah. This isn’t their style. They’d send some bozo with a visor to my house. And then they’d stand on my lawn taunting me until I came out. Kind of like a bad salesman. A: Could we be serious about this, please? J: Right. Well, who’d have anything against me? Hardly anybody in the Anime Universe knows I exist. M: Well, let’s think about who DOES know you’re here. There’s the Masaki Clan, Link, Samus... J: I don’t think the space pirates would have anything against me. M: ...and then there’s... who’s that girl you had over? You know, the psychic with the coffee? J: Yuki? No, I don’t think that... wait a sec. M: What? A: Nya? J: Yuki’s a member of the AMP. The AMP fight the Lucifer Hawk. You could have been attacked by an L-Hawk! A: Is that what the Lucifer Hawk look like? J: L-Hawk have many forms. M: Why would an L-Hawk want to attack you? J: I don’t know but it’s the most logical connection. Hmm. Ozz, fire up the browser. We’re going to call in the professionals. M: (chibi-eyed) Inuyasha?! J: Pfft! Please! Puppy-boy’s got more than enough publicity. I’m talking about the AMP: Attacked Mystification Police. Specialization in the paranormal and inter-dimentional attacks.

Unmasked part 3 1:15 am, Nov. 1st (Makoto’s room) A: Zzzzz... M: Zzzzz... “THUMP!” A: 0_0 Nya? (looks around, goes back to sleep) ???: (licks Aisha’s cheek) A: (wakes up) How dare y... (but there’s nothing there) A: (lays back down but keeps one eye open) M: Zzzzz... ???: (brushes Makoto’s hair) M: (wakes up) Huh? (looks around) Oh, very funny Aisha. A: (sits up) What do you mean? M: You’re trying to scare me. A: Me? You just... M: Just what? I didn’t do anything. A: Shh. (twitches her ears) M: What is it? A: ......There’s something in here. M: Now I know you’re just trying to scare me. A: (looks at Makoto) Makoto, get down. M: Nice try. A: Get down! (leaps at Makoto) M: AAAH!! (hides under her sheets) A: (jumps over Makoto’s bed and starts wrestling with something on the other side) M: (peeks out from under the sheets) A: (throws something against the wall) Aisha and Makoto see a monstrous figure. The creature is covered in black fur, has three clawed fingers on each hand, two tremendous spikes on it’s back that curve up and towards it’s head, a hideous face that looks like a cross between a wolf and a crocodile, razor sharp teeth, and burning red eyes. M: WHAT THE HELL IS THAT!?! ???: (starts climbing the walls) A: Whatever it is, it won’t be alive for much longer. RAAR!! (leaps at the creature) ???: (leaps out of the way and onto Makoto’s bed) M: AAAAAHH!!!! ???: (looks at Makoto and licks its lips with its long disgusting tongue) A: (comes up behind the creature and puts it in a headlock) Makoto, get out of here! M: (quickly gets out of bed and runs out of the room) Justin-san!! Ozz!! Anybody!! ???: (grabs Aisha and throws her over its shoulders) A: (hits the wall) Aah! ???: (lets out a roar that sounds like a cross between a pig and a veloceraptor) RAAR!! A: This thing’s pretty strong. And I hate to say it, but it might be stronger than me. I could really use a full moon right now. ???: (holds up its arms and starts to shiver) A: Nya? ???: (long, blade-like spikes come out of each hand from between it’s two fingers, starts swinging at Aisha) A: (dodges its attacks) And whatever this thing is, it’s smart too. It fights like a class A assassin. But this is hardly the time to be impressed. (rolls out of the way and behind the creature, runs out of the room) (Justin’s room) O: (still lying on the bed) M: (trying to wake him up) Ozz, please wake up! We need your help! A: What are you still doing here? I told you to get out! M: (grabs Ozz) Not without Ozz! AAH! Aisha, you’re bleeding! A: Nya? (looks down and notices her side is bleeding, her eyes grow wide) Just as I feared. That thing IS stronger than me. (grabs Makoto’s arm) Come on. We have to get out of here. A and M: (rush out into the hall) ???: Grrrrrr! M: AAAHH!! A: Run! (grabs Makoto and runs down the hall) ???: (chases after them on all fours) A: (turns the corner and slides open the secret door to the dojo) In here, quick. M: (runs inside the dojo and curls up in the farthest corner of the room) Ozz, please wake up. A: (slips inside and silently closes the door, grabs a katana from the wall) ........ M: ........ A: ........ M: ........ “BOOM!!” M: AAAHH!! A: Will you cut that out! ???: (breaks down the door) A: (rushes at the monster slashing and chopping) YAAAA!! ???: (dodges her attacks) A: YAA! YAA! HEEYAA!! ???: (grabs the blade and breaks it off the handle) A: Nya? Oh man. Justin’s gonna kill me. ???: (swings at Aisha with the broken blade) A: (ducks down, grabs a hidden knife from her ankle and stabs the creature in the belly) ???: (steps back, pulls out the knife, the wound instantly closes up) A: 0_0 No way. ???: (kick Aisha down) A: Ahh! ???: (grabs Aisha’s wrists, pinning her down) A: (kicks the creature between the legs) ???: (lets out a yelp) A: Well, now we know you’re a boy monster. ???: (grabs Aisha’s throat and starts to choke her) A: *gag* OK. That was a bad idea. ???: Grrrrr! M: AISHA! ???: (notices Makoto in the corner and lets Aisha go) A: *gasp, cough, cough, cough, pant, pant* ???: (walks over towards Makoto) M: 0_0 (frozen in fear) ???: Hisssssss. (starts to drool) A: Makoto! M: (closes her eyes) O: (finally wakes up) ???: (now inches away from Makoto) O: (flies out of Makoto’s arms, puts the monster in psychic bubble, and sends him flying out through the skylight) ???: RAAAAAAR!!! (lands in the woods) A: The skylight. Why didn’t I think of that? (jumps through the skylight and onto the roof, scours for the monster) M: (puts Ozz in a vice grip of a hug) Oh, Ozz! You saved us! Thank you, thank you, thank you!! O: *gag, choke* A: (jumps back down) Does this kind of thing happen often? M: 0_0 ! ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?! A: (looks back up) M: Is it gone? A: I’m not sure. It may come back. M: What was that thing? A: I don’t know. I’ve never seen anything like it. M: W.... what do we do now? A: I’ll stay awake in case it comes back. You go back to bed. M: BACK TO BED?! After tonight, I’ll be lucky if I ever get to sleep again!! A: OK. Then stay on the vigil with me. M: ....I suppose I could try to get back to sleep. A: Good night, Makoto. O: (nudges Aisha) A: Nya? What is it, Ozz. O: (points at Makoto, makes a sleeping gesture) A: Yeah, Makoto’s going back to sleep. M: I think what he’s trying to say is that you should go to sleep to. O: (nods) A: What? But what if that thing comes back? M: That thing almost killed you, Aisha. No offense, but you’re no match for it. Besides, now that Ozz has recovered his strength, he can watch out for us. O: (nods) ^_^ A: A proud Ctarl-ctarl putting its safety in the hands of some flying squirrel. This is unheard of. Ahh! (grabs her side) M: We really should get that bandaged up. Come on. (Makoto’s room) M: (gets in bed) Thanks again, Ozz. O: ^_^ M: Aisha? A: *sigh* Yeah, whatever. M: Oh, drop some pride for once! A: *groan* Ozz... O: ........ A: (smiles) Thanks. O: (sets up a psychic barrier around them) M and A: (sink down under their covers) A: ........ M: ........ A: Makoto? M: Hmm? A: If you ever tell anyone that I screamed “run” in the middle of a battle,... I’ll break your legs. M: *chuckles* Noted.

Unmasked part 2 12:15 am, Nov. 1st (Justin’s room) J: (sitting on his bed hanging his head) God, what have I done? What have I done? M: (walks in) Justin, what’s going on? J: (looks up) What? M: Aisha just burst into my room and said you tried to rape her. J: I... M: She’s lying right? I know you, Justin. You may act like a bit of a creep sometimes, but I know you’d never rape a girl. I don’t think I’ve ever seen you GROPE one. J: I... Makoto... (looks down) M: 0_0 You didn’t. J: ........ M: You... you heartless LETCH! How could you?! J: Makoto, I didn’t do it! M: Then who?! J: .....I don’t know. M: How convenient. J: Makoto, I swear it wasn’t me. I mean it was me but... M: I don’t want to hear anymore. (grabs Aisha’s futon) J: What are you doing? M: Aisha’s sleeping in my room tonight. J: What? No. Makoto, please let me talk to Aisha. I need to explain myself. M: Have you no shame, Justin?! Right now, you’re the LAST person Aisha wants to talk to. (leaves) J: (pounds his fist on the bed) DAMN IT!! (holds his head and starts to cry) O: (peeks his head in) Zoo? J: *sob, sob* O: (flies up to Justin) Zooo. J: *sniff* Did you hear all that? O: (nods) J: Ozz, you know me better than anybody else here. You know I’d never do anything like that, right? O: (vigorously shakes his head) (Makoto’s room) A: *sniff* I can’t believe I fell for it! That whole “nice-guy, knight-in-shining-armor” routine was just some con he put up so he could get into my pants! M: I never thought Justin could sink so low. A: Makoto, *sniff* go get all my stuff out of his room. I’m leaving tonight! (Justin’s room) J: I don’t know what happened. One second I’m kissing her and the next thing I know, she scars my face. I’m not sure what’s going on, Ozz. But I think I know how to stop it. (gets up, walks to the door) O: Zooo?! J: Out. I’m going to do something I should’ve done a long time ago. (walks downstairs and to the front door) O: (flies down and grabs Justin’s arm) Zoo! J: I appreciate you wanting to help, buddy. But I just need to be alone for a while. (leaves) O: (sadly) Zoooo. (slowly floats back up to Justin’s room, lies on the bed) Zooo. M: (walks in) O: Zoo? M: Ozz. Where’s Justin? O: (points out the window) M: Out, huh? Well, good riddens. (starts to gather Aisha’s stuff) You might as well contact him now and tell him that Aisha won’t be here when he gets back. O: ZOO!?! M: (still collecting Aisha’s things) O: (looks around rapidly in a “what do I do? what do I do?” fashion) M: (starts to leave) Still... I can’t help feeling sorry for him. He and Aisha could’ve been really happy, but he just made the wrong choice. ???: (sounding slightly garbled) Makoto. M: (stops) Huh? 0_0 ???: Makoto, listen to me. M: (turns around) Ozz? You can talk? O: Listen to me. Uhn! This is very hard to do. You and I both know Justin would never do anything like this. Something’s wrong. He just needs to find out. Whatever you do, don’t let Aisha leave. It’s not him. He... Eeeeeee! (collapses) M: OZZ! (drops Aisha’s stuff and runs over) Ozz, are you OK?! O: ........ (slowly opens his eyes half-way) Mmm. M: Ozz......... (nods) I will. O: (closes his eyes) M: Ozz is right. I said it myself. Justin would never rape a girl. But how can I convince Aisha? (Makoto’s room) A: (crying) M: (walks in) Aisha? A: (looks up) M: You know, it’s pretty late to be leaving. Maybe you should sleep here for the night. A: *sniff* What about Justin? M: He left. I guess he was just so disgusted with himself... he just needs some time alone. A: ........ M: (kneels down and puts her arm around Aisha) Aisha... does this really sound like something Justin would do? A: Nya? M: Think about it. All the kind words, the unselfish acts, the way he respected you, everything. Do you really think it was all a facade? The Justin you know, the Justin you love,.... he’d never try to rape you, would he? A: ........ M: I guess it’s not a very convincing argument, but my point is.... will you give him another chance? A: ......It is pretty late. I guess I could stay one more night. But I’m leaving first thing in the morning. M: OK. Well, Ozz, that’s the best I can do.

(Justin’s room) A: (walks in, still wearing her Egyptian costume) Woo! What a blast! A holiday where you dress up and eat candy? I love this planet! (door closes) A: Nya? J: (appears from behind the door) A: Oh, there you are. J: It’s past midnight. Time to remove our masks. (takes off phantom mask) A: Uh... sorry I’m not wearing one. J: (hugs Aisha, nuzzles her head, takes in a deep breath of her fragrance) Ahh. A: What are you...? J: (whispers) You’re so beautiful. A: Nya? J: Aisha... do you love me? A: Of course I do. J: .....Then kiss me. A: (kisses Justin) J: (grabs Aisha’s shoulder and pulls her down onto the bed, still kissing) A: Mmm. J: Mmm. (slowly slips his hand down to Aisha’s breast) A: *gasp* What’s gotten into you? J: Shh. Just relax. (starts kissing her neck, slowly working his way down her body) A: Justin, stop. J: (shakes his head, continues kissing her) A: Justin, stop it. (grabs his head) J: (quickly grabs her wrist, looks at Aisha with angry eyes, grabs both her hands and pins her down) A: Uhn! J: (starts licking the area between her breasts) A: (knees Justin) J: Oof! A: (starts to get up) J: (pins her back down) You ungrateful bitch! Is this how you thank me?! Everything I’ve done, I’ve done for you! I let you live in my house! I pour out my heart and my soul to you! I showed you love! I’ve made you happy! And now you deny me this small reward!?! A: ........ J: (lets go) Now be a good girl and stay still. And should you feel the urge to scream... (looks at Aisha with demonic eyes) ...by all means, don’t hesitate. A: YAA! (claws Justin’s face) J: AAH! A: (gets up and runs out of the room) J: (holding his face) Ahh! (shakes his head, blinks as if coming out of a trance) Aisha? Oh my god, what have I done? Aisha? AISHA!!

O: (dressed as Inuyasha) Zooo! ^_^ M: (dressed as a raptor) There’s snacks on the table and sodas in the fridge. Please help yourself. J: (dressed as the Phantom of the Opera) Glad you all could come. Now click the button under my “avy” and LET’S GET THIS PARTY STARTED!! DJ: Rockin party, Justin! J: Thanks dude. Where’s Washu? W: (behind DJ) Yoo hoo! (dressed as Einstein) J: Phew, thank god! For a second I thought you’d come dressed as a nurse. O: (surrounded by Shini, Shikyo, and Ozy Jones) Shini, Shikyo, and Ozy J: (scratching Ozz’s ears and rubbing his tummy) J: Jeesh! It’s high-school all over again. Hey, Mack Daddy! O: Hmm? J: We need more ice! Go out to garage and... O: ........ J: What?! *sigh* Fine. I’ll get it myself. Lucky devil. M: OK everybody, listen up! Let’s begin the first game. (hands everyone a sheet of paper) This is a special kind of scavenger hunt. The object is to bring back a PICTURE of each thing on the list. Good luck! 15 minutes later... M: Alright Ozy Jones! You got a picture of everything on the list except one. That puts you in the lead! OJ: Sweet! J: Make way for the champions! M: OK, Justin. Let’s see what you got. #1. Something that makes you laugh. #2. Something that makes you cry. #3. The cutest thing in the world. #4. The ugliest thing in the world. #5. An anime character in drag. M: Let’s see how you did for the last one. So far, no-one’s been able to get it. #6. An anime character in their underwear. M: 0_0 ! Wha!.....How?.....What the hell?! WHERE DID YOU GET THIS!?! J: That’s my little secret. M: You son of a bitch! I’LL KILL YOU!! J: Running time! Red: (grabs pick of Makoto) Yoink! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Eyes Have It One thing I’ve noticed about the Anime art-style that makes it so different from Western animation, is the eyes. Big, deep, glossy, it’s practically the trade-mark of the industry. So can you identify these anime characters just by looking at thier eyes? Let’s see. A. B. C. P.M. me with your answers. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A: You wanna dance, Justin? J: Aisha, if I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a thousand times. A: (ears droop) J: You know I can’t turn down the request of a lady. A: ^_^ (starts dancing sexily and rubbing up against Justin) J: Aisha... cut it out. People are staring. A: (stops) Loosen up, Justin. I’m just messing with you. ???: (taps Justin’s shoulder) May I cut in? J: Hmm? (turns around and sees...) Red? R: Please? J: .......OK, but just this once. R: Thanks man! (walks up to Aisha) A: Try anything funny and you’re dead meat. R: Aisha, please. I’m a changed man. My intentions are as decent as Justin’s. J: (starts to walk away, bumps into someone) Oops! Oh, I’m sor... Kiyone? K: Hey Justin. (dressed as Cinderella) J: Did you come DJ? Where’s Knives? K: He’s over by the snacks. You want to dance? J: Um... sure. K: (dances with Justin) This reminds me of our first date. You still know those moves? J: Which ones? K: You know. (leans in, whispers in Justin’s ear) J: (shakes his head) Oh no. Not here. K: Come on! J: Oh, alright. (starts doing the dance routine from “Smooth Criminal”) Woo! M: Attention everyone! It’s time to announce the winner of the costume contest! Our judges have decided, and the winner is.... A: ........ J: ....... M: OZZ for his Inuyasha costume! O: Wheeeeeee! ^_^ J: What?! Makoto, that’s not fair! You helped him make his costume. M: How’s that not fair? I’m not a judge. J: Oh. Well, who is? M: (points at Shini, Shikyo, and Ozy J.) J: Yappari. (I should’ve known.) Well, that’s all for now. But be sure and come back after midnight tonight for a special Halloween webisode. Ja ne! L8R! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Listen to other music from the rave.
