[Michael's Note: the following is a bit of experiment for me. This is my 4th MSTing and I wanted to do something different. Inspired by some of the guest MSTings written by others, I decided to use a number of characters from my own anime/cyberpunk campaign instead Mike (or Joel) and the Bots. I mean, who better than to riff a fanfic than a bunch of fan-created characters?] [SCENE: A dimly lit room. All that can be seen is a large plush couch, a big screen TV and a VCR. The far door opens and a short (5'3") woman walks in. She is Japanese, with shoulder-length black hair, green eyes and a cold, stern demeanor. She is dressed in an official looking uniform and a large patch on her shoulder reads: "ATTACKED MYSTIFICATION P.D.". This is Noriko Kobayashi, AMP officer. Like everyone else from _Silent Mobius_ she possess paranormal powers, and is a powerful telekinetic, much like Annie the Ylper Weapon or Sonnet Barjie.] NORIKO : No one here but me... figures. [Noriko drops down onto the far end of the couch staring at the blank TV with a look of disgust.] NORIKO: Stupid hidden contract clauses. [Door opens. In walks a very tall (6'1") woman with flowing white hair that falls to her knees. She has gray eyes, with the body, face and figure of a goddess (Urd to be exact). She is dressed in a black jumpsuit, white torso armor, black gloves and boots and a long gray cloak attached to the shoulders of her armor. This is Shion Nys, a disgustingly powerful psychokinetic who would be right at home in any of Katsuhiro Otomo 's stories.] SHION: Oh, it figures you'd be here first. NORIKO: That's because I understand the value of being punctual. [Shion sits down at the far end of the couch opposite Noriko. The two of them spend a few minutes glaring daggers at each other.] [Door opens once more and two more women walk in. The first is short (5'5") slim and athletic looking. She has dark eyes, waist length black hair and is dressed in a form-fitting black jumpsuit. This is Marta Nys, Shion's younger sister. She is, in cyberpunk jargon, a 'street samurai' and has been upgraded to the point where she's probably the fastest thing in existence. She promptly leaps over the back of the couch to land next to her sister.] MARTA: Hiya, Shion. SHION: Great, now I know I'm going to get a headache. [The last woman to enter the room is over average height (5'8"), with waist length black hair, glasses and slightly pointed ears. This is Ling Ling Li, a native of Hong Kong, who was imported from Yuzo Takada's _3x3 Eyes_ universe, 'cause the author thought she was pretty cool and needed some Hong Kong natives for his game. She is dressed in traditional Chinese clothing (think of the outfits that Chi Chi usually wears) consisting of black jacket and trousers with a tightfitting light blue sleeveless dress worn over that. She takes the last seat between Marta and Noriko.] LING LING: Sorry we're late, Marta just had to finish one last level of Quake II. MARTA: Oh, and like you weren't looking over my shoulder the whole time? SHION: Stop! Noriko get the tape. NORIKO : All right. You all _do_ understand why we are here? LING LING: To view some fanfic found on the net and offer our own comments and criticisms? SHION: Correct. MARTA: And it's not like we've got a choice, either, due to our _stupid_ author. NORIKO: Then let's get it over with. TALES OF THE RED KNIGHTSABERS MiSTed by Michael Surbrook with Noriko Kobayashi, Ling Ling Li, Marta Nys and Shion Nys robert69@usa.pipeline.com (Kyrin) MARTA: That's Kuririn! LING LING: I thought it was Kurillin. SHION: Pathetic, both of you. NORIKO: Actually, I think it is supposed to be 'Kirin'. First a bit of stuff from the author.... NORIKO: I see... we're only two lines in and I've already spotted a mistake. LING LING: Which is? NORIKO: That should read 'a bit of fluff'. This fanfic originated back in early july when I started to become addicted NORIKO: That's 'July'. to the net and more accurately to anime fanfiction. This story was my first attempt at fanfiction based on one of the first real animes I got to see: NORIKO: That should be 'anime'; it is both a singular and a plural. Bubblegum Crisis. Since then I've fallen in love with the anime and read a number of BGC fanfics: may favorite two being the bubblegum zone and Tokyo-babylon. NORIKO: That should be "Bubblegum Zone" and "Tokyo-Babylon". LING LING: Are you going to do that with _every_ mistake you see? NORIKO: Yes. SHION: No you're not 'little seaweed girl'. It's those two fanfics that I use as a base for my writings and create from there. MARTA: Great, we're stuck with reading a fanfic by some fanboy BGC addict who gets all his ideas from other people's fanfics. LING LING: Want to bet he liked "Grand Mal" too? SHION: Hey, I liked "Grand Mal". NORIKO: Thus proving your lack of taste. When I wrote this fanfic, only a few parts of tokyo-babylon were available. Anyway, I made a few mistakes MARTA: Like writing this in the first place? NORIKO: 'Few' mistakes? Obviously robert69 is a master of understatement. (particularly at the ending of the 3rd part) and this fanfic is what I'd like to call the 'imperfect' version of it. SHION: It won't become 'perfect' until it swallows a few androids first. MARTA: Hey, I thought you _hated_ that show. I made changes to dialouge and converted the whole series to narrative. I'm also planning to do the same thing with Esper chronicles. NORKIO & SHION: Esper? There's also a few other major changes- namely Locke Sommerville from the 2nd part is now Kyrin Branford due to the will of the author, SHION: Great, yet another example of fanboy self-insertion. Sylia has a bit more of a reaction to 'Kyrin', LING LING: Meaning what? She falls in love with him? MARTA: Probably. That seems to be a common theme in BGC fanfics. Either Priss or Sylia falls in love with the main male character. and of course, the ending. SHION: Everyone dies. LING LING: Feeling a bit dark today? If anyone has read the esper chronicles (which is the follow-up to this fanfic) will know what I'm talking about I think. NORIKO: Well, we haven't, meaning none of this makes any sense. Well, off to the show. email all comments and critism to me at Robert69@usa.pipeline.com. still not sure if It's a permament arrangement but I hope it will. Esper Chronicles will also probably get a reworking but I lost alot of what I wrote when I wiped out my HD earlier this year. SHION: That's what you get for using a PC. NORIKO: I should have guessed you were a Mac user. LING LING: If you two start an OS holy war, I'm leaving. It'll be a while before I finish it. Anyway, on to the Show... ***** LING LING: Five stars? Hardly. BLEEEEEPPPPP!!!!!! ALL: SHION : Wonderful, the audience is now deaf. went the alarm clock that belonged to one Mackie Stingray. SHION: 'One Mackie Stingray'? LING LING: Yes, he comes in six-packs now. This is his room. a bed is situated in the right corner along with the door. A drawer and desk were situated to his left and we can see a calendar on the wall above his desk. The room has anime and manga posters everywhere and a tv and laser disk player are found in the corner near the door. LING LING: What, no computer? MARTA: I'm wondering where the video monitor he uses to spy on the Knight Sabers is. The alarm clock says 6:02 am and after 2 minutes of a long beep, mackie slowly wakes up ever so groggily.over at a calendar on the wall, he can see that today is september 4th. isn't today the first day of scool? NORIKO: No, there's no such thing as 'scool'. Now, it might be time for 'school', something the author obviously didn't pay much attention too. LING LING: My, aren't we the heartless critic. he thinks to himself and remembers that indeed it it. NORIKO: 'It it'? LING LING: What is it? MARTA : It is! You want it all but you can't have it! It's in your face but you can't grab it! With a loud yawn and scratching his hair, he finds the strength to get his carcass out of bed. After stretching for several minutes, it's obvious that he's grown a few inches in the past months as he now stands around 6' tall (there are no other changes to his appearance). MARTA: How much ya wanna bet that if this was a live-action movie Mackie would be played by Leonardo de Cappuchino? EVERYONE ELSE : That's pronounced 'di Caprio'! MARTA: Touchy... -KyRiN & THe NoRaM SoCieTy aGaiNST iDioCiTy- -SoMe LaMe BuBBLeGuM FaNFiC- "TaLeS oF THe ReD KNiGHTSaBeRS" NORIKO : M-u-s-t k-e-e-p c-o-n-t-r-o-l. SHION: Uh.. words fail me. LING LING: What the hell was that? His caps lock key develop some sort of spasm? MARTA: 'Some lame Bubblegum fanfic'? I guess he does recognize his own worth! Part1: Mackie and his hardsuit MARTA: A Boy and His Dog. LING LING: Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man. SHION: Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. NORIKO: Thelma and Louise. a half an hour of the morning routine (brush your teeth, shower, ect.). MARTA: See if Sylia is still sleeping in those filmly negligees. After picking out a Red T-shirt with some mecha drawn on the back of it in black and a pair of old blue jeans to wear, he left for the garage. We can see a very sleek japanese sportsbike that has a bit of a resembalance to his old highwaystar save its red and black paint job and is boosterless with a much sleeker chasis. SHION: Meaning it has _no_ resemblence to the Highway Star. This his latest bike that he'd put together lately although he hadn't thought up a name yet. After 20 minutes of megatokyo's traffic he was at his school, SHION: I just thought of something... When has Mackie _ever_ attended school? high. quitetly he thanked god that it was his last year. After parking his bike in the student's parking lot he made is way to the front of the school where a large amount of fellow students were waiting for the front door to open at 8:00. MARTA: Doesn't sound like any school _I_ ever went to. while waiting he decided to look around for any familiar faces and any cute girls that had decided to tranfer over this year. LING LING: Excuse me? Mackie hangs around the Knight Sabers, what does he care about high school girls? To busy looking around, mackie didn't see a girl, about his age, coming closer. she was about 5'6" and had red hair which was cut short and the back but the front had two long bangs. She quietly made her way in back of him and touched his shoulder. "Hi, mackie!" The girl says to him from the back of him. NORIKO: Ugh... trying to sort that paragraph out is giving me a headache. Turning around he recognizes the girl as marissa- ALL: Aggghhhhhhh!!!! Not Marissa! No, please, anyone but her, we'll be good! a girl he has had interest in last year but wasn't capable of getting his guts together enough to ask her out. he was hoping she couldn't hear his heart pounding away as he nervously put on a smile and blurted out "oh, hi Marisa." NORIKO : Out of my way you puny almost-an-adult. "hmm, what classes do you have? NORIKO : Ordering Around Foolish Adults 101, Advanced Starship Tactics, Intermediate Romulan Extermination and How to Dominate Others. SHION: You do that too well... Mentally thinking back he recalled his classes for the semester "letsee. I have calculus, english IV, literature, advanced engineering, and few other ones. why, looking forsomeone to cheat for you?" MARTA : Depends, what's your Kobayashi Maru time? NORIKO: I'd like to point out that I had _nothing_ to do with that stupid test! he finished with a light grin on his face. If mackie wasn't wrong little storm clouds where circling her head. With a pouty look on her face, she seemed to want to give mr. stingray a piece of her mind SHION : Here, can you hold this? I'm not using it. "hmph! I don't cheat." She protested Mackie's grin got a little bigger as he continued "you also don't lie very well. If you need help studying let me know. I'm pretty much how you passed algebra III." Mackie remembered quite well what those tutoring sessions got him- nothing at all. LING LING: Obviously Mackie needs to take lessons from Dustin Hoffman. Defeated, Some of her anger flowed off somewhere else NORIKO: To find another host and once again begin its quest to assume control of Starfleet. SHION: Enough with the Marissa jokes already! "I know, I know, you don't have remind me all the time." In the background the school bell wrang marking the beginning of the school day. NORIKO: 'Wrang'? "well, time for school. C-ya around" she finished with a smile before making her way off to school. LING LING: To sum up, Marissa is going to school. Mackie's day wasn't too rough. advanced engineering was a waste of time SHION: Theoretical engineering: what to do with all the parts left over. (he showed the teacher about three differnt mistakes) and calculus was kinda rough but not something he couldn't get high scores in. LING LING: Especially since he knew all the cheat codes. It also turned out that marissa was in his calculus much to his dislike (not that he minded her being there, but he knew sooner or later she would want to cheat off of him). once school was done with he decided to gather his courage and ask marisa out- all he had to do is find her before she left. Then he saw her in the crowd of kids making their way out of the school and called out to her. "Hey marisa, hold up a sec." Turning around after hearing her name called she could see it was mackie. "what is it mackie?" MARTA : If you really loved me you'd swallow it. SHION: LING LING: Marta! That's ... sick! "umm..I hear Returner Chronicles is coming out at megoplex theater this friday and was wondering if you would like go see it with me? " NORIKO : Sorry, I have a Starfleet dinner to attend. They are making me Grand Empress of the Universe. "Oh, isn't that the anime based on the novels? SHION: Excuse me? He want's us to believe that in the year 2034 they still have animated movies? NORIKO: Well... considering that 'anime' is sort of a generic term for the animation industry in general, they could still use it to refer to computer-generated films. LING LING: You're really reaching on that one aren't you? I'm currently reading Book 5: "At the world's ends" "yeah it was a pretty good novel and the anime will probally be great." SHION: Makes you want to go right out and see it, doesn't it? "hmm. okay I'll go with you." LING LING: No one will be admited to the intense 'asking Marissa out on a date scene'! "cool. I'll pick you up at 8. umm, where do you live." ALL: Men! After scribaling down the adress the two parted ways and an onlooker could say that mackie had a bit of a skip to his step as he left the school- MARTA : Yeah! First we're going to go to the movies, and then out to dinner, and then home and then I'm going to score! Yeah, score! Score! SHION: Down girl. until he saw that someone was sitting on _his_ bike! The guy had short black hair and was an average build and height. He was wearing a black leather jacket that matched his hair and a pair of blue jeans. "who the hell do you think you are sitting on my bike?" LING LING: Your bike? This isn't the "Akira" set? The mystery interloper Kyrind eyes with him and glared coldly at him SHION : W-w-what? What does 'Kyrind eyes with him' mean? "stay the hell away from marisa if you know what's good for you." NORIKO: Yes, you are over the age of 15, which means you are now an adult; and the Great and Powerful Marissa has no use for adults. With a good sarcastic edge to his voice Mackie retorted "and who died and made you her father." MARTA: Patrick Stewart. LING LING: No way, Stephen Ratliff. "I'm her man, nerd boy. so what you say?" ALL: I'm sorry? Mackie had recently been through some rough shit lately. He was only starting to recover emotionally from killing 4 street punks with his bare hands. LING LING: Excuse me? Did I miss something here? luckily he was growing to where he could control the killer part of his enhanced mind MARTA: I dunno, I kinda preferred the side effects described in "Bubblegum Pink". SHION: You would. (if you need to know more, look at Mark Latus' Tokyo-babylon along with all the other good BGC stuff.) NORIKO: Obviously 'good' is a very subjective term here. and focus it. now this punk was asking for it.. Mackie decided to play defiant with the bastard. "and what if I said "go fuck yourself"?" NORIKO: I'd say that it's physically impossible? MARTA: Only if you're a guy. SHION: Marta! MARTA: What? "I would say its time to kick your ass..." Mackie could tell this guy was ready to fight him, he got into a fighting stance. "come and try, asshole." LING LING : Hunh. So. You must be tired of living. The fight was utterly lopsided to mackie's side. He dodged his opponent's punches with ease and returned every punch. All of Mackie's swings hit its target while only one light punch managed to tap his left cheek. The two were so immersed in beating the hell out of each other that they didn't LING LING: Some how that fight description and the words 'beating the hell of out each other' just don't go together. notice marisa and a crowd of spectators (mostly rooting for mackie) that MARTA: Mackie, Mackie, bo-backie, banana-fana foh SHION : That's enough out of you. grew around them. Marisa was deternined to stop the fight. Screaming at the top of her lungs to get the fighters attention "STOP IT NOW,RYAN!!" MARTA: ADRIAN! LING LING: STELLA! SHION: KHAN! NORIKO: KANEDA! Ryan turned around to see his girlfriend fuming up a storm. He immediately put on the innocent bystander look. "what. He started it!" LING LING : I bet you and Shion sounded just like that when you were kids. MARTA : Ha ha ha. Glaring at the fool, Mackie decided to fuck over the punk's hopes with marrisa. "the punk was sitting on my bike. SHION : That there's a hangin' offense in these parts. PLUS he was threating me not to take you out friday. said you were 'his girl.'" That was the last straw. Marissa had heard about him doing this before with other girls and Marisa was tired of it. MARTA: What? Not letting them go out with Marrisa? SHION: Only _you_ would come up with that. "I am NOT you girl! In fact you can find yourself another one." Ryan's face showed nothing but embaressment and anger. "What!" ALL: She said: 'you can find yourself another one'! Marsa was adamant in her descision "you heard me." LING LING : Ehh? What was that missy? Ryan turned around to the suddenly quiet mackie who was starting up his bike "don't think I'm going to forget this, stingray! you best watch your back! (and leaves) MARTA : Yeah, you just watch! I'm gonna come back all big and buff and kick your ass! "I'm sorry mackie. He's such an asshole.." "no problem. He couldn't fight worth a piss anyway. all hotair." Looking at his watch, he could see that it was 3:14. MARTA : Oops! I gotta go get my Great Saiyaman costume! Since he had probably kept her from getting the bus, it would only be right to give her a ride home. "say, you need a lift home?" Reluctantly looking at the motorcycle, unsure if whether or not to trust mackie. "um, do you a licence to ride that thing? SHION : You need a license for that...? Oh, you mean the bike. "Yeah, I have a licence to ride this thing or I wouldn't be riding it to school. Don't worry- I promise to drive below the speed limit." NORIKO: Liar. Still a little unsure of to get on the thing. sighing she decided to just go through with it. MARTA: It's only a motorcycle for cryin' out loud, it's not like you're going to have se- ! SHION : Cool it, little sister. "oh, the hell with it. just try not to crash into anything would ya? LING LING: Yeah Mackie, do or do not, there is no try. "'course. here, you can use my helmet." NORIKO: That's right. Always use protection when riding a 'thing'. SHION: Oh... don't you start. By the time he home from dropping off marisa it was already quarter of 4. Once he got home he noticed sylia was nowhere to be found and a note on the fridge said she wouldn't be home until later. NORIKO: Dear Mackie, am battling evil, will be out late, don't wait up. Love, Sylia. By the time he was done calculus homework it was almost five. Then the vidphone wrung- probally NORIKO: What is this? Wrung, wrang? Where is he getting this sound effects from? someone calling for Sylia he thought to himself. As he picked up the reciever, he easilly recognized it as Dr. Raven. "Hi, doctor raven. Anything I can do for you?" MARTA : Yeah, where's those jpegs you promised me? Mackie could easily see that the doctor was obviously excited about something- not that it happened very often. "Mackie! just the boy I wanted to talk to! get to the garage quickly, I have something to show you!" With that the Doctor hung up the phone and his picture replaced by blackness. It left Mackie wondering what was going on. SHION: Over stating the obvious as usual. Luckily, mackie It didn't take long to get to the shop. Inside he could see Dr. raven and Bert going over something on a computer. They both seemed SHION: Bert? Who's Bert? LING LING: The main character from "Buublegum Zone"; he's from the past or something. SHION: Great, cross fanfic self-insertion. MARTA: And where's Ernie? happy- a rarity for the doctor. He guessed that if he didn't enter the shop the two would have started dancing around doing the jig. NORIKO: Stoned again I see. Bert was a bit dirty from working around the garage obviously. "So what's all the fuss about?" LING LING: We've found a way out of this lousy fanfic! Bert chuckled evilly and mackie was damned if there wasn't some mischevious glimmer in his eyes. "we discovered a new alloy technique for the hardsuits! This new alloy will be even better than the ones I used on the current hardsuits by at least 50% stronger and lighter than the ones we have now. If all goes well, it'll make the suits much faster, stronger, and LING LING : We can rebuild him...we can make him faster, stronger... MARTA : Faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive... more damage resistant....." The three began to lapse into techno-jargon beyond the ability of the author to keep up nor the majority of his readers (whoever they might be) NORIKO: Like that ever stopped the writers of "Next Generation" or "Deep Space 9". SHION: Well, hardsuits don't have warp cores or transporters, so that excludes 90% of Trek techno-babble right there. That night Mackie couldn't sleep. All he could see was a red SHION : Don't even think about it! MARTA: What? harduit that was better all the other's. And the pilot would be himself-not sis, not bert, not even priss, LING LING: ... it's just little ol' me, Underdog! he would be its pilot. The suit would have the best features of each suit: linna's knuckle bomber, skyknight's particle laser and flight system,sis' vibroblades (but longer), LING LING: I detect a certain amount of Freudian symbolism in that statement. and nene's sensors and cyberdeck interface. NORIKO: Nope, not once ounce of fanboy vicarious thrills detected. Nope, not a bit. Then he started thinking about a few things that had happened in his life. He lost his father when he was only 10 and when he and his sister were growing older he thought how sylia thought herself on a quest of revenge. Why didn't he do the same thing- make a hardsuit for himself and get what he deserved. SHION: An early grave? LING LING: His own anime series? He had played the support role. He piloted the knightwing and launched missles when it was neccessary. But what was he getting out of all this? MARTA: Voyeuristic thrills watching the Knight Sabers change? He wanted a little more than sitting behind the cockpit of the knightwing. SHION : I never wanted to spend my life flying the Knightwing, I always wanted to be... a lumberjack! MARTA : You feeling okay, Shee? His training scores were enough to prove that. He had never in his life stepped into a hardsuit but was capable of fighting at level 6 on the holo-trainer. LING LING: And if he entered the cheat codes he could win every time! NORIKO: And don't even think of making a 'Kobayashi Maru' crack! He couldn't take it any more. It was 12 o'clock and he figured the shop was empty. Why not... WEEKS LATER.... It was done. His hardsuit was finished just he imagined it to be. All the weapons were at least 20% better than the most recent upgrades and his flight system was even better than bert's new hardsuit using the same alloy- at least Mackie expected it to. The final outcome was the best that he could do. And Sylia thought she was master of hardsuit design he thought to himself. HA! ALL: HA! Haha! Hahaahahaaaa! He felt a bit sad when he thought of his father and even mother at the moment and what they would think of his handywork.dad if you were here I wonder if you'd be proud of me? NORIKO: No, he'd just call you a pervert for spying on your sister. he thought to himself. This suit is the best that my hands could forge. I wish you were here too mom.seemed to be on his side lately as the knightsabers seemed not to have very much of any work lately which gave him time to put the suit together without anyone finding out. NORIKO : Sentence... run... on... must...not... black... out... When not busy with the suit he would go out with marisa- the relationship between the two was getting stronger. SHION: Yes, Marissa is now calling him 'boytoy' instead of 'scum unworthy to lick my feet'. Then came a knock at the door and the intrusion of sound at his admiration of his own hardsuit caused him to almost jump two or three feet. ALL: "Mackie! open the door!" SHION : What are you doing in the bathroom? LING LING : Oiling my baseball mitt! MARTA: And you talk about me? Mackie could easily tell the voice belonged to Sylia. Holy shit! If she catches me with this hardsuit she'll kill me! NORIKO: We can only hope. quick, I have to hide it he thought to himself nervously as the pounding on the door qot louder. placing a spare blanket on top of it, he moved the suit in the corner. Lying to her, "I'll be there in a sec, sis!" "we have a job. be sure to have the van ready by 7." LING LING: Quick Robin! To the Batcave! "sure,sure, no problem, sis!" Something is up with him sylia pondered to herself. What in the world has he been up down here. puting judgement aside, she decided to go for the blunt approach. "What have you up to lately. You seem to spending ALOT of time in the garage for some reason." "me?! SHION: No, she's asking another Mackie. LING LING: Well, he does come in six-packs now... I haven't done anything-just repairing Hardsuits and fixing up my bike." Oh god, he thought, that sounded like a lie even to me. I'll have to work on learning how to lie better... NORIKO: Ask Marissa, just look at how many people she's conned into believing she's a competent Star Fleet captain. Sylia obviously felt the same way by the look on her face. "I don't beleive you. If you've been working on the bike, than why is it in the corner?" SHION: If this is a diplomatic mission, where's the ambassador? Mackie could do nothing but stutter. ALL: B-b-b-b-b-b-b-b... bad! "I knew it...what is it mackie?" MARTA : If you really loved SHION : Not. A. Word. NORIKO: Thank you. her voice becoming demanding "I haven't done anything wrong..." he lied through his teeth. Sylia decided to use the pressure game as she began tapping the ground with her foot and glaring daggers at him LING LING: I'm not touching you, does this bother you? yet remaining totally silent as she scanned the garage. SHION : Sylia is made of liquid metal. "You ain't getting anything out of me" MARTA: Yeah, I won't talk! I'm no squealer! folding his arms over his chest and glaring back, he hoped his sister didn't notice the pirspiration acummalating on his brow. Noticing the blanketed mass agianst the wall, her face, if it could talk all by itself without a voicebox, would be shouting out a-ha! ALL: A-HA! "then you don't mind me seeing what you have under the blanket?" ALL : Yeah, baby! It was useless he thought to himself. Oh well. Life was good while it lasted I guess. Turning his head "Go ahead and look for yourself." "Why do I have the feeling I'm not going to like what I see." NORIKO: Knowing Mackie, I'd have to agree with her. Mackie chuckled to himself. "believe me, you won't. In fact I'll be lucky to live to run out the Garage door if I wanted to run." Sylia was speechless when she pulled the the blanket of the hidden hardsuit. The hardsuit was Pure dark red with a black visor and various blotches of black throughout the suit (such as on at the joints and some various decails). It's helmet was built to look like Priss' or Bert's helmet designs save that the antenae fold straight back rather than outward V-like. LING LING: Allowing him to pick up more channels than ever before! Now how much would you pay? There was also the fact that the build was bulkier than the female suits- It was obviouly built for a male. NORIKO: So... what do you suppose clued her in? LING LING: This being Mackie, I'd have to say the size of the codpiece. The color scheme, build, and design could only mean one thing. MARTA: Revenge! "Might I ask what you plan to do with this suit?" her voice edging on rage. MARTA: Cruise for chicks. NORIKO: I believe Sylia was speaking to Mackie, not _you_. SHION: Nice one. "I was thinking of using it as a full knightsaber. What else do you think?" LING LING: You're a hentai pervert who likes to peep at his own sister? NORIKO: Well, that's the end of the tape. MARTA: All right we made it! SHION: And how many more are we contracted for? NORIKO : Two.
