From now on I'll post this list twice monthly and I'll keep it under 'Files' rather than 'Messages' or 'Blogs' (at www.Eons.com/groups/group/anime-a-holics/Files)

The 'teaser' beginning of the chapter on blog's first page and the balance in the comment/reply is how I'll post my fanfiction chappies from now on unless it's a short chapter that is.

SYFY's AniMonday (11 PM to 1 AM ET) is a double eppy of Monster (Doctor running from the law for a crime he did not do- sound familiar?) followed by Macross Plus (Computer generated hologram singer in love with two test pilots. Concludes next week).

Good news from SYFY folks! AniMonday has been expanded from 9 PM ET to 1 AM ET with the first two hours called Chiller. Chiller will feature unusual and scary anime film masterpieces beginning with Blood:The Last Vampire which spawned the Blood+ saga and a brand new live action film now running in theatres. Looks like 24 August will be Chiller's debut. If you get SYFY in the SE PA-USA area you are still getting Star Trek-TNG reruns from 9 to 11 ET on Mondays dammit!

Hey WitchBlade the film (with Sarah Pezzini not Masane Amaha- yech!) will hit theatres in a year or so while DragonBall and Death Note are already out there showing. Many more anime based flicks are coming soon and they are filming Bebop with Keanu Reeves in Dave's role as Spike Steigel. For Jett I'd pick LF- Larry Fishburne or even MF- Morgan Freeman. Denzel Washington or Samuel L Jackson don't fit the mold. How about Miley Cyrus aka Hannah Montana as 'Ed' and Lindsay Lohan as Faye Valentine? (Rafe) Donnelly could be Tommie Lee Jones. Hey I oughta be a Hollywood cast finder eh? Gad, I wonder how much of a muckup they'll make of the 'Bebop', 'Swordfish II', 'Redtail' and 'Hammerhead'? I don't think Ed's power scooter had a name although we all know the computer she wore on her head with 'goggle monitors' was named 'Tomato'!

Here's the new Saturday night CN/AS lineup which begins earlier now for us at 12:00 AM ET following Star Wars the animated series at midnight. All times Eastern of course:

12:30 AM to 1:30 AM Bleach (two eppys)
1:30 AM to 2:30 AM Fullmetal Alchemist (Just restarted)
2:30 AM to 3:00 AM Morabito (Balsa protects Chagum from Mikado)
3:00 AM to 3:30 AM Death Note
3:30 AM to 4:00 AM Ghost in the Shell/Stand Alone Complex
4:00 AM to 4:30 AM Blood+
4:30 AM to 5:00 AM Big 0 (Big Giant Robot fare)
5:00 AM to 6:00 AM InuYasha (2 eppys once more- yay!)

In both Code Geas and in FMA some of the characters have a special logo in their eye a la Code Lyoko's XANA logo in the evil characters' eyes.

In both Death Note and Bleach there are specific hints as to character origins. In DN Ryuuk tells Light Yagami that any user of the DN book can neither go to Heaven nor Hell after death. So what's left? Shinigami World meaning that DN book users after death become Shinigami death gods- right? Guess what live TV series is a DN parallel series? Hint- it's on Showtime.

In Bleach Rukia's Squad 13 captain (the one that is always sick as a rule) tells a subordinate that Ichigo's friends are special with unusually high spiritual pressures. He goes on to say that he would not be at all surprised if after death they became soul reapers themselves after they had passed on to the Soul Society. Renji Abari committed a minor faux pas in this week's eppy. While fighting one of the Arrancar Hollows he told him that by the time Kiske arrived the Arrancar himself would be dead. He apparently forgot that all Hollows are already dead to begin with. For that matter are soul reapers really alive or dead?

Ichigo, Urryuu and Chad have just met three Arrancars and their pet in the Wako Mundo desert on their way to Las Noches (The Nights) which is Aizen's HQ fortress. Seems not all Arrancars and Hollows are bad because these guys gave 'em a lift and are guiding them to LN. Live and learn guys. Why are they in WM? Aizen has Orihime of course! (see new post for more)

Discovered why Moribito theme music is so familiar. Group is Arc 'n ciel who did the GTO theme Driver's Edge. Early OT and ET for Death Note are done by Nightmare group which is what the Black Knights and Brittanians' Gundamlike fighting suits are called.

In FMA Ed has learned truth behind the Ishbaal massacre of fifteen years ago while brother Al has just discovered the identity of the Homunculi leader from the snake chimera Marta seconds before she was murdered by the #7 Homunculus- the Fuehrer King Bradley himself. He is Pride- the seventh deadly sin! But- who is his boss? Rose of Lior has become pals with Lira the girl alchemist who used to be with Yochi the state alchemist army lieutenant and she's now called the Holy Mother but she has gone mute and who's her baby's father? The climax seems to be fast approaching and it promises to be exciting so don't miss it gang! Hohenheim the Elrics dad is back and going after Dante. Al has become a deadly time bomb courtesy of an unknowing Scar and an evil Kimlee the Crimson Alchemist who used the red stones in Ed's SAA watch to transmute the souls in Scar's arm into a philosopher's stone!

Another Bleach note- why did Aizen want Orihime kidnapped? What or who is the sojioque he has stolen which will awaken in the winter? Who is the lad newly born from its power? What does Kiske know which he ain't telling? Can Ichigo defeat his Espada nemesis? Don't ya just love that jutsu used by Captain Toshiro Hitagawa- reign over the frosted heavens! then the name of his zambatou? A version of it is used by the evil Dragon Emporer in Mummy 3 when Jet Li turns a field of snow into jagged ice stalagmites. Of course he has mastery over the five Chinese elements- fire, water, earth, wood and metal! If there are only five elements in Chinese philosophy then how can there be an avatar or guardian of the air- Avatar the Last Airbender? Air is not one of those elements! And who's the looney tunes Espada poor Rangiku is stuck with?

Getting into DLs and ULs and burning CDs again. Trying to get into attaching videos to messages like I do pix now but it's damned tricky folks!

Sherlock Holmes returns in the personage of Robert Downey Jr as the famous sleuth. Hits theatres soon.

Mama's new read is Helma from the Tros of Samothrace series. Ho hum so far. Tros is getting interesting now- very interesting with refs to English countryside landmarks.

Dan Brown's Lost Symbol was just excellent! I loved it. A lot of Freemason stuff in it I didn't know. If any of you are Literary Guild members by all means check out the secret societies books they have at reasonable prices.

I have just added three plums to my anime vids collection: Complete DVD sets of Noir, Gasaraki and Tactics. I already have the complete set of Black Lagoon on DVD and partials on Blood+, Cyborg 009, FMA, Bleach and a few others. I have the first 7 eppys of Morabito and am on the lookout for the set. Bobby has the complete set of Trigun and Mama has the complete set of Gunslinger Girl and Witchblade. Anyone else have any new acquisitions to talk about? If so blog it here or post some messages folks.

Now have Bebop movie on DVD and VHS. Just got GS Innocence 2 and Haunting in Connecticutt. Thundercats came at last for Mama. Still have yet to watch DB Evolution film.

SYFY is airing Destination Truth which is like JBs old Digging for the Truth on HC. DT is hosted by Josh Bates or Gates and looks pretty good. Anyone know why SYFY considers wrestling science fiction stuff?

This just in folks! Josh Bernstein has revamped his website and is now using Twitter too. He has a fab group called JBs Group at YG. Dan Brown is on both Twitter and FaceBook now. What do you guys think about my starting an anime recipes file and a golf tips corner either here or at AH1 or somewhere else? Animeinfor.org is the only place I have ever seen an anime recipes section. As for golf tips- what can I say? I love golf- passionately even if I don't play as much as I used to. Gomen but I just remem,bered this. Kudos to Robert the artist for hire for finding Dan Doh- probably the only anime series about golf itself! Sadly there are no dubs of it just subs. It can be found at VEOH and hulu quite easily. I'll post a pix or two soon.

Another great show was In Search Of narrated by Leonard 'Mr Spock' Nimoy and I recall an eppy of theirs re the Knights Templar and Foucault's Pendulum. If anyone knows where I can find a copy of those gems on VHS or DVD onegai let me know. A big domo arigatou in advance for your assistance. Gotta really go now and get some blogging done and maybe post Chapter 50 at last.

Just saw Kurosawa's masterpiece 7 Samurai and started reading Angels & Demons after I finished Bored With the Rings (a LOR satire) and Fritz Lieber's Knight & Knave of Swords which was about the two unlikely Norse heroes Fafhrd and the Grey Mouser- think of Arnie Schwarzenegger teamed up with Bruce Willis! Next chapter real soon now. Have a great day and weekend. Sayonara for now folks.

Dororo just ran on COD/FreeMovies. It was based on a manga about a warrior cursed as a demon trying to get human again and the gal warrior who aids him. Several more Japanese and Korean subbed films under FM like Triad Elections. Saw Sho Kosugi in Pray for Death which was about a modern day Ninja going on a bloody quest for vengeance in NYC! Cool!

Has anyone seen G Force yet? How about Haunting in Connecticut? Someone has suggested at FaceBook that our anime is dead. Boy did that ever open a potboiler of contention! If anime is dead well nobody told Hollywood! DragonBall, Watchmen, GI Joe, Blood:TLV, Transformers2, the list seems endless eh?

How about Tim Burton's 9 and Pandorum eh?

I have now posted up to and including Ch 60 of Wings. I am trying to get Xmas and Wings rewritten and published. Think they will sell? A note to budding authors- Avoid 'author mills' like AuthorAmerica and AuthorHouse. All they want is for you to pay them to publish YOUR works! They guarantee nothing! Likewise avoid AbsoluteWriters Water Cooler for info and inspiration. They are quite negative and attempt to discourage a struggling author!

Don't miss Showtime's Inside the NFL tonight at 9, 10 or 11 PM ET. Play Beat the Insiders at beattheinsiders.com and join my group there- Saint K's Anime Friends. I'm on FaceBook now you know. This is getting to be more like a newsletter than a guide. Any suggestions? I am considering a monthly golf tips column and a recipe file a la animeinfo.org. I just posted (Files) two Thanksgiving dinner menus. Comments?

Sports fans! I just started a group at Showtime's Beat the Insiders and it's called Saint K's Anime Friends. Come & join me there and at FanIQ.com if you like. By the way my Saints are the highest scoring team in the league with 120 points in just 3 games. They are at 3-0 and lead their division. Our offense is #3 and our defense is #10. Quite a rise from #19 and #30 last season eh? Drew 'Divine Wind' Brees and his '4 Horsemen of the Apocalypse' have outscored Detroit 45-27, Eagles 48-22 and Bills 27-7. In that last game TO never got close to a ball! The 'Saintly Terrors' are stepping up at last to complement our offense. Enough re that. Oro do ya think of a recipe file here and/or a golf tips column maybe once a month? Don't worry because I have tons of recipes and loads of advice for duffers. Sorry there's been no Ch 61 of Wings yet but I've been really busy with blogs, surveys, polls, reviews, guides, posts and now sports NFL groups. Soon I promise you will see Ch 61 and maybe even the end of Wings before Xmas.

A pet peeve here folks. Why is it that in most anime the characters either walk (InuYasha) or run (Bleach) everywhere they go? Didn't the Japanese ever hear of transports? I'd love to see how Kagome could get an SUV through the well! Cars in the Soul Society's Seretai? They've got wide enough roads there surely? And Ninjas and Samurai never seem to have carts, chariots or wagons although Samurai rode horses which was why they made the Zanzabatous like the one used by Zanza on Kenshin. Balsa did ride a stallion for awhile on Morabito and on Code Geas Lelouch's 'brother' Rollo does have a motorbike w/ sidecar. Trains are the transport on FMA although Mustang and Hawkeye did have a car in last week's eppy. DN and Blood+ have cars, boats, trains, planes and the like. So does GS and Bebop. Naruto has modern stuff but no transports. Guess it's to each his own meaning whatever the creators decide.

Cult classic from the late 60s has come to IFC on Fridays at 8 PM ET. Don't miss The Prisoner with Pat McGoohan. In November AMC will air the new Prisoner series with Jim Caveziel as the Prisoner (see new post for more on this 6 eppy show). First eppy airs Sunday 15 Nov 09 at 8 PM ET on AMC (Ch 57 on Comcast).

Latest read was Danny Brown's excellent fifth work The Lost Symbol (soon to be a flick?) which was quite good if a bit wordy. Damned thing took me 3 days to read! With 2012 in the theatres it was quite apropos. Hints: A famous statue stands in front of the CIA HQ building in Langley and is a pivotal part of the storyline. There are a lot of hidden details in Washington DC and Dan Brown's a history buff as well as a secret society expert. He more than proved that in Angels & Demons and then again in the DaVinci Code. By the way he's got a very entertaining website at www.danbrown.com so if you like tricky logic puzzles and codes by all means visit him there.

Oro am I reading now? Sax Rohmer's Shadow of FuManchu. He is the old-fashioned Darth Vader and the leader of a group out to save the Earth from its inhabitants. They are called The Seven. His nemesis is a Scotland Yarder named Sir Denis Nayland-Smith who with his trusty sidekick Dr Petrie pursues Dr FuManchu the same way Holmes and Watson pursued Prof Moriarty all those years. His latest escapade involves collecting scientists and killing anyone in his way. Looks like the Brits, Yanks, Russians and Aussies will have to band together to defeat Fu and Huan Tsung his sidekick. Some pair- Fu was at least 90 when Smith met him 60 years ago (Fu has the secret of eternal life. Has he discovered the FMA Stone?) and his pal's in his 80's! Geriatric? Far from it! Smith's on his own this time unless you count his scientific buddy Carter who is about as useful as Zorro against Darth Vader! What a wimp!

I just began reading Eller Queen's 'The Finishing Stroke' mystery classic. A bit like Lost Sybol it has a cypher EQ must solve to find the killer and it takes him over 20 years to bring the miscreant to justice! A must read for EQ fans like me!

Here's oro the Keiman wants for Kurisumasu (Christmas) and I doubt if such a thing even exists. A wall clock (battery powered) that plays anime themes every hour on the hour. Now oro themes would it have? Nonstop Angel (DP Flash); Billy in Despair (Death Note); Life is a Boat (Bleach); Real Folk Blues (Bebop); Freckles (Rurouni Kenshin); Guardian of the Spirit (Morabito). That's half and for the rest how about Sailor Moon, InuYasha, RaveMaster, Gurren Lagann, NOIR's haunting watch melody and another Angels theme? Comments?

Well that's it for this time. Enjoy and toodles tomos watashi-K&K

Angel Wings- Chapter 1

Welcome to my 2nd and current fanfiction Angel Wings. I just posted Ch 58 elsewhere and hope to wind it up soon. Please feel free to read/review/suggest away.

Thumbs up Re: Dirty Pair Fanfiction(Angel Wings)-Ch 1
OK Here's Ch 1 of the new ff 'Angel Wings' all about Kei and her cadre's return home after the GG missions. (Are they really over?) and guess oro? Kei and Yuri and Kome and Mar are running the 3WA Academy in Furool City and er there are many new faces to see and guess about. R/R/S away and I'll try to keep this one shorter than the first. Toodles-K&K

DISCLAIMER: OK Revy, it's all yours! First, thank you to Mr. T. for the use of the Angels. Thanks to everyone else who is letting us use their creations. How was that, Yuri? Great! Oh yes it was, Kei! Well, we left you up in the air after our first ff so let's get to Chapter 1 of this one without further preamble:-

ANGEL WINGS

Chapter 1

'Creature From the Black Lagoon' or 'The Angels Meet Revy Roberts'

Facing the rows of folding chairs in the gigantic amphitheatre in front of them Rock was as scared as Hell! His compadre, however, was as cool as a cucumber while she stood beside Rock, a cheroot clamped tightly betwixt her teeth. She smoked steadily directly beneath the 'No Smoking Onegai' sign on the wall. Rock tapped Revy's shoulder (Her real name was Rebecca Roberts but Kami help anyone who called this gal anything but Revy!) and pointed at the sign. Revy shrugged her shoulders and blew a smoke ring into the kid's face.

Both were on loan (temporarily) from the 'Black Lagoon' company in Roanispur back on Terran Thailand. BL was an organisation of hired killers. These two had been 'volunteered' by their boss Dutch to teach the new 'UG' and 3WA recruits here at the 3WA Academy in Furool (Foo-Lon) City on Shimougou in the Aquarian Galaxy. Oro were they teaching them?

For Rock it was proper reporting techniques a la their paperwork. In other words- how to do reports on your PDO (Personal Data Organizer). A 'PDO' was sorta like an ancient Terran cell phone/computer, however, unlike a cellphone a PDO also contained a vidcell phone unit, a medical tricorder, a computer, a local communicator, a word processor unit, several weapons, a homing beacon, a flashlamp, a tiny laser beam, a replicator unit (to make anything you shimatta well fancied!) and numerous other devices!

For Revy (who had not read her 3WA orders) well she hoped someone was gonna tell her damned Fxxxing soon oro the jigoku she was doing here or was she just babysitting Rock's ass again? Revy was in fact an expert with all sorts of firearms and was there to teach marksmanship and martial arts to the cadets.

"Who the Fxxx is that stupid looking bitch up front I wonder?" whispered Rio Delcroix to her seatmate Marina Oki. Rio was a cadet/trainee just starting her advanced training today as was Marina, however, where Rio was an ensign Marina was already a suba or a subaltern in the 3WA.

"Shut the Hell up, Rio! If she hears us she'll sure as Fxxx come over here and she don't look like someone I'd wanna mess with or meet in a dark alley even in the daytime man!" replied Marina in a mono-whisper.

"She's Revy Roberts from Terra, love. She's here to teach marksmanship and martial arts to you. And her nickname's the 'Creature from the Black Lagoon', Rio honey. Her name's really Rebecca but if ya say that to her it's like calling the boss Katie!" answered Legato Bluesummers the big tall BetaZoid captain from the planet of 'Gunsmoke'. Believe it or not he was also a cadet/trainee albeit he already as a captain outranked most of the instructors there.

"Who's the cutey pie next to the Terran Terror?" asked Rio and Blue chuckled.

"Rock Obajime. He's Revy's partner and he's here to teach us all how to write 'proper' reports on our PDOs. I think Revy's his bodyguard while he's here or something. He's a merc (mercenary) with the same group Revy's with but the guy won't carry a weapon and will not kill! Glorious company he's landed in eh? Take it easy kiddies. I think I just saw an old tomo- named Tomah Jordan. Ja mata for now." said Bluesummers and he wandered over to talk to a tall skinny guy wearing owlish spectacles circa a few hundred years ago. He stood next to a younger girl in a 3WA hotpants uniform with a sash reading trainee/acting ensign across her chest.

"Legato? How nice to see you." she said and he nodded at the blonde.

"Oh hi Edna. You're looking quite spiffy in that outfit." replied Bluesummers. The tall skinny dude blinked myopically and smiled.

"Konnichi wa, Blue. Haven't seen you for an inu's age man. I'm here to give Edna (his sister Edna Jordan) moral support on her first day of advanced training. Then tomorrow I have to start teaching computer logistics to the seniors in the building next door. How ya been?" said Tomah Jordan who was the resident 3WA/'UG' ("United Galactica Federation of Galaxies') computer logistics and programming expert.

"Just fine, Tomah. By the way have ya seen Lee Chan around today?" asked Blue.

"Nai. He doesn't start teaching (martial arts and yoga) until ashita no yobi (the day after tomorrow). Hope he doesn't try to pick up that dark-haired babe with the kid over there." said Tomah, pointing towards Revy Roberts and Rock Obajime.

"Amen to that pal. She's one tough bitch. See ya later, tomo watashi." replied Blue before heading for the snack tables.

"How come we gotta be here today, Mar?" demanded Kome Sawaguchi in a whisper. She (an ensign) and Lt. Marlene Angel were standing against the back wall of the amphitheatre with arms folded across their chests. Mar shrugged her shoulders at the strawberry blonde teenager.

"Beats me, kiddo. Guess two of those recruits are gonna be ours someday and they wanted us to get a look at them. Wow! That Revy Roberts looks madder than the boss usually does, don't she?" whispered the blonde navigator/sometimes pilot.

A slight short gentleman with kindly grey aizu smiled at them all and stepped onto the dais in front of the class. "May I have your attention please--" he began but the general hubbub soon drowned him out until--

"Shut the Hell up! Mr. Galadriel has something to say to you blasted yay-hoos so pay attention goddammit!" roared Donald Poporo, Unit 9's sector chief. You could have heard a pin drop on the surface of 'Dantoonine' which was several hundred lightyears distant! The shorter gent tried again.

"I am Vittorio Francisco Galadriel, Commander-in-Chief of 'UG' and the 3WA, ladies and gentlemen. I welcome you to this briefing session for you young cadets and trainees. I already know a great many of you having met you after our last er incident that our 3WA forces were involved with. For the rest of you I usually allow Andy Gooley my Aquarian Galactic Chief to run things. I'd jsut like to say that we have gone out of our way this time around to get you the very finest of instructors we could possibly locate to teach you your advanced subjects. Yes even paperwork is on our curriculum this semester. Without further ado let me hand the floor over to Mr. Poporo who will give you all the latest news about your training. Have a nice day and hoop-a-dooble-doo." said Galadriel and he immediately left the podium.

"OK hazu- listen up! You've all advanced to he next level of your training with us. That's 'cause you've mastered the 'basics' that a good tro-con needs to know. If you think that crap was difficult this next stage will make the last six months or so look like kindergarten! We're running a bit late today so I'll quickly introduce your instructors before I release you for dinner.

First off- to teach you karate, baritsu and hand-to-hand combat as well as yoga we have Senir TC 1st Lt. Lee Chan (A tall fellow who looked a lot like the ancient Terran martial arts film star Jackie Chan gave them a galactic salute and bowed. In point of fact Lee was indeed a direct descendant of the famed hero of the silver screen from Terran China).

Second we have to teach endurance and survival skills and tactics to you Chief Stefan Gazelle who doubles as our sports coach. (A big hulk of a guy with long flowing black hair stepped forward and gazed at the class steadfastly before shaking his head sadly and saying 'Pathetic, just pathetic, man!' in a loud rumble.

Thumbs up Re: Dirty Pair Fanfiction (Angel Wings)-Ch 1-Part 2
Here's Ch 1-Pt 2 of Angel Wings-Enjoy it-K&K

Our remaining duo of instructors are probably unknown to all of you. They hail from the Terran city of Roanispur in Thailand and come to us highly recommended. Your third instructor is Mr. Rock Obajime (The kid beside Revy Roberts nodded a tad nervously and managed a wan smile) and he'll be teaching you how to write up proper reports from your missions and daily work so I guess you could call Rock our resident 'red tape' expert.

Last but certainly not least we have Miss Rebecca er I mean Revy Roberts (The dark-haired beauty beside Rock frowned and made an obscene gesture to Don Poporo. Of the four instructors present Revy was the only one not in 3WA/'UG' attire. Instead the girl wore a black sleeveless tank top, torn and dirty sneakers and cutoff denim jeans. Criss-crossing her ample chest was a double-holstered under the arms shoulder harness and nesting in each holster was a heavy calibre Beretta automatic pistol nicknamed a 'Cutlass'. She nodded curtly to the class. 'Pathetic is right man! What a bunch of pussy shitheaded losers, Rock!' she chuckled and the kid looked like he wanted to be on 'Dantoonine' at that moment! who will be instructing you in the finer points of marksmanship and er street combat fighting.

I know we all wanna get to chow so I'll dismiss you now that is if there are no questions?" said Don with a nervous glance around the hall.

"That baka moron bitch couldn't hit the broad ass side of a Rygullian barn!" shouted Rio Delcroix before Marina Oki could stop her.

"Hit the deck!" cried Rock and dove for cover just as Revy leaped up and performed a sideways somersault in midair, yanking out her twin cannons and firing all in the same blur of uninterrupted motion. Four neat little bulletholes had suddenly appeared in the 3WA crest above Mar and Kome's heads! A half credit coin (about the size of a Terran nickel) could have easily covered all four holes! Revy coolly reholstered her cannons and smiled at Rio.

"How's that, you Fxxxing dumbass?" she demanded, spitting out her cheroot stub. Don glanced up and blanched white- his worst nightmare had just arrived!

"Oro's the Hell's with all this Fxxxing noise, Don!?" growled a tall red-headed and green-aizued Amazon dressed in a 3WA red/black skintight bodysuit and red chukka ankle boots. Depending from her right hip was a Mark XIII ion cannon which weapon made Revy's 'Cutlass' noisemakers look like pea-shooters in comparison!

"Ladies and gents- permit me to introduce our newest Academy Chief er for you Terran folks that's the same as a college dean- Marshall Keirran er I meant Kei O'Halloran. Hiya Boss. Miss Roberts here has just er been demonstrating her shooting skills to the class." said Don.

Kei yawned, then spun like lightning back to face Revy, yanking out her cannon at the same time. Over her shoulder she fired two ion blasts in quick succession and where Revy's four bullet holes had been a moment ago now was only a smoking crater in the back wall!

"Kei! How the oni (devil) can I teach first aid with all of this racket going on, dammit all!" screeched a violet-maned vixen with flashing aizu the colour of deep azure who had just bounced into the huge hall. Her hot pants outfit was a pstel hue of aoishi (blue) and white and complemented her aizu perfectly. White over the calf length Cavalier boots completed her ensemble and strapped to her right side was a teeny tiny (but deadly!) Mark III miniblaster.

"And this is our esteemed Academy's executive chief er vice-principal- Wing Commander Yuri Donovan." added Poporo. Then Yuri saw oro was left of the wall!

"Christ Almighty, Kei! Not another blasted shield? That's the third one you've blasted this month! The 'G Twins' (Andre Gooley and Charlie Garner) are gonna be well and truly pissed, man! Oh er hello class. Welcome to the 3WA Academy or jigoku (Hell) which is oro you'll be calling it pretty darn soon if you ain't already! Good luck." finished the exec.

A desk job/teaching gig was fine with Yuri after that last mission she'd been on but for Kei this was sheer and utter boredom! Revy laughed out loud. Big mistake!

"You freaks got a bimbo broad and a wimpy schoolkid running this Fxxxing dump? I don't Fxxxing believe it! Whassa matter- wasn't Dean Wormer ((The Faber College dean played by John Vernon in that old Terran film 'Animal House') available? No wonder this place is a frigging joke!" chortled the Terran markswoman.

"Hey there Lady! You just watch your mouth there! That ain't now way to be talking about our 'Dirty Pair'!" cried an incensed Tomah Jordan who was holding the door open for Yuri. Four pair of angry aizu (including Yuri's) turned in his direction.

"That's 'Lovely Angels', dammit!" chorused the 'Unholy Four' who are of course Kei, Yuri, Kome and Marlene. Kei strolled to the front podium and glared icily at Revy Roberts.

"Class- you are hereby dismissed. See ya all back here at 0900 ashita (tomorrow) morning." she barked.

"Let's go, Boss. You've got a lotta recquisition vidchips left to sign." said Yuri, adroitly steering the redhead to the portals. Legato grinned at Revy.

"Girl, you just dunno how Kami shimatta extremely lucky you are. The Boss usually puts folks into the hospital for that kinda mouthing off. Your pardon, ma'am. Legato Bluesummers at your service. I'm captain of the 'Raphael'. That's one of the 'Lovely Angel 2' starship's four shuttles. (The others being of course 'Michaelangelo', 'Leonardo' and 'Donnatella') But don't get me wrong now. I'm also a trainee here. Pleased to meet ya, ma'am." said Blue. Revy returned his gaze coolly.

"That Irish idjit's the lucky one, pal of mine. I usually 'kill' folks I don't like, man! And by the way friend- you call me anything but Revy again and I'll rip your Fxxxing head off and shit down your Fxxxing throat, Captain! Nice to meet you too, sir. C'mon Rock. I need a Fxxxing drink, kid." said Revy, dragging her companion towards the bar area.

Kome's mouth was open wide in shock! Mar smiled ruefully. "Here we go again, kiddo." she observed dryly.

Christmas with the Dirty Pair- Chapter 1

Welcome to my very first venture into fanfiction. Xmas took 5 years to complete and I am now rewriting it to the end of publishing it as a novel. Give me your thoughts.

“Christmas With the Dirty Pair”- a fanfiction by Keiman and Kei

DISCLAIMER:We do not own any of these characters and/or anime series. However, we want to send a very big Domo Arigato to everyone who does and are kind enough to allow us to use them here. We especially wanna thank Haruka Takachicho for the “Lovely Angels” Kei O’Halloran and Yuri Donovan- gomen for making thje girls Irish descent but admit it -a feisty green-eyed redhead with a fiery temper to match and a long blue-haired blue-eyed knockout colleen with an attitude! What else but daughters of old Erin on old Terra? (Er Kei was listening so I couldn’t use that name for those two but you know they are the Dirty P--- OW! OK Kei gomen!) Anyway thanks to all of the authors. OK without Tina and Joey’s kind assistance this very first ff of ours would not have gotten done. Onegai for bearing with us. We believe that this is the very first LA/DP ff dealing with a holiday besides Hall-o-we’en-in this case Christmas-anywhere. So a big Domo Arigato to you guys and here we go!

CAST:

Kei O’Hallorantro-con of Lovely Angel Team 2

Yuri Donovantro-con of Lovely Angel Team 1

Marlene Angeltro-con trainee of LA Team 2(on loan from Blue Gender)

Kome Sawaguchitro-con trainee of LA Team 1(on loan from Blue Seed)

Optimus Primeleader of Planet Cybytron (on loan from Transformers Armada)

Spike Mirokusecurity chief at Higurashi Mall(on loan from InuYasha/Cowboy Bebop)

Various Shoppers

Time is 2250 AD (17 years after the Ganymede Riots). Place is Furool(say Fu Lon)City on Planet Shimougou (member of United Gallactica) located in Gamma Quadrant of Aquarian Galaxy. FC is the Headquarters of the 3WA. A semblance of peace prevails but on occasion trouble consultants(tro-cons) are requested from the 3WA. The most famous team is now no more. The almighty Central Computer(which assigns all TC teams) has split up the most famous TC team ever. Lovely Angels now has Team 1 and Team 2 (see cast above).

Both teams are still called “that name” but now because Kome is in Team 1 and Kei leads Team 2. OK that’s the set-up. Now, it is a few weeks before Christmas and Team 2 is shopping for Christmas (hai, Kei too although somewhat reluctantly! Marlene is sorta excited though.) in the Higurashi Mall. Both girls are off duty now(by the way Marlene is older than Kei-she is 23 and Kei is 19; Yuri is also 19 while Kome is 17) but being the Dirty Pair do ya really think this is gonna stay boring? Well--

Chapter 1 “Lovely Angels and Shopping Malls Don’t Mix!”

“Kami shimatta ni jigoku! I said HOLD IT you sonuvabitch!!” screamed a very angry green-eyed redhead.

The shadowy figure she had been pursuing halted for a second, then turned to face an enraged tro-con who was brandishing a deadly Mark IV disruptor/blaster which was still smoking from the last shot. At that moment a petite blonde materialized behind him as if by magic covering him with a smaller (but just as lethal) weapon, a TX XIII hand ion cannon capable of blowing a nasty hole in anything she chose.

Ordering him to raise his hands she spoke coolly and quietly: “You heard the lady, sir, I’m sure. If I were you I’d do what she told you to do.” Anything for the Dirty Pair.” he replied, raising his hands high. Marlene Angel leaned over and whispered to him “Lose the DP pal. We’re the Lovely Angels! I’m telling you this for your own good.”

Suddenly Kei glanced over and saw her partner/trainee staring glassily directly into her suspect’s eyes.

“Shimatta Marlene! I thought I told you NOT to make eye contact with him! He’s a mind control telepath! Now stop lookin’ at him! Oh, crap!” she finished.

Noticing a Santa and a gift-filled sleigh drawn by eight reindeer suspended above the mezzanine, she immediately fired at it unleashing an energy bolt which sizzled through the roof of the atrium causing snow to start piling up everywhere. As amazed shoppers ran pell mell every which way, Kei fired again this time hitting her mark. Suddenly gaily wrapped presents were cascading down everywhere and soon covered both tro-cons and their suspect.

Then Santa and his sleigh came crashing down on them pinning all three beneath it. “Well, this is another fine mess you’ve gotten us in ‘Ms. I know what I’m doing’! We came here to shop and now look!” yelled Marlene from under the pile of boxes. Getting a hammerlock on her suspect’s right arm she snapped handcuffs on his wrists. “You are being placed under arrest by the 3WA. Anything you say--” began Marlene,

“You’re busted creep! And it’s Lovely Angels dammit not what you said!” hollered Kei decking him with an uppercut to the jaw.

“I was g-giving him his rights Kei.” stammered her partner. “You were boring him to death Honey!” finished Kei.

“Kei, remind me not to take you shopping again.” Marlene said icy-blue eyes flashing like ice in a polar dawn.

As klaxons began ringing all over the building Kei looked up and said “Jigoku Marlene Chill out! I didn’t know Legato was gonna be here, did I? Anyways we get a big fat bonus for collaring this yahoo! That oughtta buy a helluvalotta Christmas presents for ya so what’s the big deal anyhow?” snapped Kei, green orbs blazing fire.

“The deal is stupid that we were off duty and came here to have a nice time shopping not fighting!” Marlene shot back.

“Don’t call ME stupid you tow-headed moron!” exploded Kei.

While they had been arguing a huge tall gent had stormed over to them. He was shouting very loud.

Holstering her pistol and folding her arms Marlene said quietly “OK Kei. Suppose you deal with this guy.”

Flashing a badge at them he bellowed “Spike Miroku-Chief of security-Higurashi Mall! Who the F**** are you two bimbos? And whassa big idea of wrecking the place? And who’s that guy?” he fumed, “Somebody better start talkin’ soon or---” he trailed off.

Drawing out her ID card and shoving it in his face Kei calmly? explained: “Tro-Con Kei O’Halloran-3WA-Unit 9 division. This my partner Marlene Angel. Our code name is Lovely Angels-Team 2. This guy is Legatos Bluesummers, a wanted fugitive from Planet Gunsmoke where he is wanted for murder, mayhem and kidnapping, among his other felonies. We had just apprehended him a few minutes ago. OK gomen about the mess but since nobody seems to be seriously hurt I dunno waht all the fuss is about. And we are not bimbos! Just call Chief Gustav at Unit 9-3WA and he’ll straighten out this whole thing in no time. And onegai tell him we’re bringing in this sweetheart to HQ. C’mon Marlene. Let’s go.” Spike Miroku just stood there as if turned to stone, his mouth agape.

Finally he realized just WHO he had been dealing with and said “Gomen about the snafu ladies. I wouldn’t have gotten so upset had I known the “Dirty Pair” was on the job. I--” WHAM!! That was all he got out before two fists slammed into his chin from either side. “That’s Lovely Angels Kami shimatta ni jigoku!” chorused both tro-cons simultaneously.

Then they exited-an unconscious Bluesummers in tow. “They never learn do they?” observed Kei, pushing the door open. “Hey how come the floor’s all white?” she wondered aloud.

“Maybe ‘cause you blew a hole in the roof you stupid dummy!” erupted Marlene angrily.

“I told you not to call me stupid you harlot!” rejoined Kei. “Look who’s talking! Like Yuri says the pot calling the kettle--” responded Marlene.

“Oh shaddup Sweetie! We’re late!” said Kei, dragging their trophy out the door.

Meanwhile back at 3WA HQ two bewildered men faced each other over an immense conference table.

Presiding over them at the table’s head stood a slight, diminutive mousy-looking grey-haired man. He wore a tiny pair of pince-nez on his rather prominent nose. “I am just as baffled as you are gentlemen. But the Central Computer decided on two Lovely Angels’ teams and split up those two.” announced Territorial Sector Chief Charles Augustus Garner.

“Oro? Two of them? Nai! They’ll each get a partner so that’s shi! Oh Christ, nai! The ‘Unholy Four’ bellowed Unit 234 section Chief Donald Poporo.

“Don’t forget the Mugghis-two of them as well!” added Unit 9 Chief Anton Gustav with alacrity.

“Oh it gets even better than that! Anton! Don! You’ll LOVE this one! Just remember ‘It’s not my fault!’ OK?” finished Garner.

TO BE CONTINUED IN CHAPTER 2
