Sailor Moon Fan Fiction ❯ Archives of Insanity ❯ Lethe Let Me Forget ( Chapter 2 )

[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]

Advena: Welcome to Archives of Insanity! I'm your host-

Risu: Advena!

Advena: Why did you do that?

Risu: Do what?

Advena: Don't play stupid!

Risu: (dorky expression) Nerrrr

Advena: (glares)

Risu: (ignores glare and turns to face audience) I'm your co-host Risu. The intelligent one.

(A shoe comes flying through the door and hits Risu in the face)

Kioko: (puts shoe back on) Quit antagonizing Advena. Your gonna make her cry.

(Advena, who is currently sneaking up on Risu with an aluminum baseball bat, pauses and grins evilly, then puts the baseball bat away)

Advena: (gets teary eyed) Waaaaaaaaaaaah!

Kioko: Look at what you've done! She's crying!

Risu: She's faking it!

Kioko: Oh! So you antagonize her and then say she isn't crying!

Risu: She isn't!

Kioko: Yes, she is!

Risu: Isn't!

Kioko: Is!

(The two continue to argue while Advena “cries”)

Sapphire: (walks in, looks at the three and shakes his head) Oh man... (Thinks to himself Advena and her revenge...guess I should start then...) Now where did that book go... oh yes. (Walks over to bookshelf and grabs the only book on the shelf) Today's story is called-

(Advena hits Sapphire with aluminum bat)

Advena: Sorry buddy. That's my line.

Mysterious voice: That wasn't very nice Advena. You shouldn't have hit Sapphire just because he was going to start things off. You really need to learn to share.

(Everyone turns to look at the newcomer)

Advena: Who're you and what're you doing here?

(A dark haired man wearing a black tux, white mask, and a cape steps out from the shadows of the door way)

Mysterious voice: I am Tuxedo Mask! The Prince of Earth! I am here to-

Advena: (grabs her bat and hits cape boy) Evil Demon! Be gone! Defile our studio no longer! Do you not hear me?! Disperse I say, DISPERSE!

Tuxedo Mask: (throws arose at Advena)

Advena: (stops and looks at him like he's crazy) A rose?

Risu: It's a rose, of course it didn't work.

Tuxedo Mask: (clearly not paying attention) Why didn't it work? It always works...

Risu: A rose is not a weapon of mass destruction!

Tuxedo Mask: now, now Risu. You shouldn't get mad.

Risu: Who do you think you are?

Tuxedo Mask: I'm your conscience.

Risu & Advena: I don't have a conscience.

Tuxedo Mask: That's why I'm here. To make sure that you are nice, civil, and don't do anything wrong. That you do as you're told and behave like adults. People don't want to see-

(Kioko jumps at Tuxedo Mask, bind and gags him, and throws him out the window. The studio being conveniently located on the thirteenth floor.)

Advena: Thank you! You're a life saver!

Risu: She's a candy?

Kioko: (hits Risu upside the head)

Risu: Ow!

(Sapphire stands up and rubs the back of his head)

Sapphire: Thank goodness that pansy is gone. He was making my headache worse. Advena: (picks up the book which is mysteriously twitching)... why is the book twitching?

Sapphire: Cape boy out yonder window.

Kioko: How'd he make the book twitch?

Sapphire: no clue.

Advena: Well we better get started... Today's story is called Lethe Let Me Forget.

Risu: Lethe? Who's Lethe?

Sapphire: She's the guardian of the river of forgetfulness.

Risu: Oh...

Kioko: I don't get it...

Risu: Neither do I...

Sapphire: (bangs head on table)

Advena: Isn't Lethe also the name of one of the three rivers in Hell in Greek mythology?

Sapphire: How did you know that?

Advena: I'm not an idiot you know.

(Silence)

Advena :( scowls and throws the book)

Kioko: (nervously) shouldn't you start the story?

Risu: (walks over and pulls the book out of the wall) Ahem. (Opens the book and sings) Fighting evil by moonlight...

Advena: (grins and snatches book) Now for today's story...

Note: anything inside `' is a thought

Mamoru took a deep breathe. `NOW's the time. There couldn't be a better moment.' “Usako.” Usagi turned and looked at Mamoru, “Yes Mamo-chan?” He got down on one knee and took a box out from his pocket, “Will you marry me Ranma?”

“Who's Ranma Mamo-chan?” Usagi asked tears forming in her eyes.

Mamoru panicked,' Did I really say Ranma?!' “Uh... who?”

Usagi turned and fled, tears streaming down her face.

“Usako, wait! Come back!” Mamoru started running after Usagi THUD only to end up colliding head first with a pole...

At Hikawa shrine

“... he called me Ranma!” Usagi finished with a wail. Makoto walked up and engulfed Usagi in a bear hug.

`I'll kill him when I see him!' All the inners thought.

“Can't... breathe...” Choked a blue Usagi. “Sorry Usagi-Chan!” Makoto apologized letting her go. Minako giggled at the blushing Makoto, who glared in return. Minako laughed all the harder and Makoto leaped at her.

“Miss Rei. I've just finished with cleaning the shrine.” A girl with short black hair said from the doorway, glancing curiously at the two wrestling on the floor.

“Ok, “Rei replied, “These are my friends Usagi Tsukino, Ami Mizuno, Makoto Kino, and Minako Aino.”

“Nice to meet you my name is Akane Tendo,” Akane greeted politely. The girls all said hi; Minako and Makoto pausing with Minako pinned to the floor, to greet her.

“Cut that out you two!” Rei demanded. They stopped fighting, Makoto hitting Minako upside the head once more before taking her seat.

“I'm sorry, but I couldn't help overhearing. Did you say that he called you Ranma?” Akane had a strange glint in her eye.

“Yes, he did...” Usagi teared up again.

Akane snapped,” That bastard! I'm going to kill him!”

“Who?”

“Ranma!”

“You know Ranma?”

"Yes, he's my fiancé!”

“Fiancé?”

“Arranged marriage.”

“Oh... sorry.”

“Don't worry about it. It won't last much longer. See you tomorrow.” Akane walked off fuming and mumbling something along the lines of: “Ooo... I'm going to kill you!”

“I feel absolutely no pity for that man.” Rei said.

At that instant the door to outside flew open. “Usako!” It was Mamoru. In other words, dead man walking. He sweat-dropped and laughed nervously when he saw the murderous glares. “Uh... hello?”

He turned and ran as the inners attack him.

Tendo Training Hall

“Ranma!”

“Ranma's in the training room.” Nabiki said looking at her curiously.

“Thank you.” Akane stomped off towards the training room.

“I wonder what he did this time... Akane looks really mad...” Nabiki said to Kasumi.

They had their answer shortly as Ranma came tearing through the living room and down the street with Akane close on his heels, “You cheating bastard!”

Nabiki and Kasumi glanced at each other and ran after Akane and Ranma. “We better make sure she doesn't kill him.”

Soun and Genma walked into the recently vacated room, “What was that all about?" Genma asked.

“No clue. So much for dinner.”

Unfortunate Man #1

Mamoru ran down the street as fast as he could. He glanced over his shoulder, `Crap! They're catching up!'

“Get back here so I can rip your head off!” Makoto yelled.

“Like that's really going to work.” Rei said rolling her eyes.

Makoto growled and ran faster.

Mamoru turned a corner and ran straight into Ranma, who was running from Akane.

They scrambled to get up and tried to run away but were, unfortunately for them, caught.

“I'm gonna bash your face in Ranma!” Akane yelled. Nabiki and Kasumi restrained her from killing Ranma.

Unlike Ranma, no one cared to restrain Makoto. Just as Makoto was about to hit Mamoru a red dragon-like creature flew by. “Charizard! Get back here!” A black-haired boy yelled, “Pikachu thunderbolt!” A yellow rodent-like creature shot electricity out of its cheeks missing the charizard.

“Ash! Wait up!” A red-haired girl said running after the boy, followed by a brown-haired young man.

Everybody blinked and looked at each other.

“What was that all about?” Usagi asked. The others shrugged their shoulders.

“Now where we?” Makoto asked still holding onto Mamoru."Oh. Yes.”

“I challenge you to a duel!” A beetle-haired boy said.

“I accept your challenge Weevil!” A red-blonde spiky-haired boy said.

A playing field suddenly popped up underneath their feet. They looked at the field beneath their feet confused.

“What?” Kasumi asked.

The two boys took out their card decks and set them down. They seemed not to notice the people on the field.

“Go, mantis warrior!” Weevil said putting the card down. A huge, mutated preying mantis appeared holding a sword and shield.

“Mercury Star Power!”

“Mars Star Power!”

“Jupiter Star Power!”

“Venus Star Power!”

“Moon Cosmic Power!”

The sailors transformed while the others proceeded with their only course of action. Screaming.

“It's your turn Yugi.”

“I play the Dark Magician. Dark Magic Attack!” The attack hit Mamoru and Ranma, frying them to a crisp, almost hitting Sailor Moon.

The Inners growled, causing Yugi and Weevil to notice them for the first time. “What are you doing there?” Weevil asked.

“You didn't notice us?” Akane asked unable to believe it.

“Apparently imbecile.” Weevil retorted. Akane cracked her knuckles and attack him. “Eep!”

“I'm sorry I didn't notice you.” Yugi said.

“You almost fried our princess.” Jupiter said angrily, her hands glowing. The others were just as angry.

Yugi laughed nervously and took off running as a lightning bolt, fire ball, light beam, and bubbles were launched at him.

“Get back here coward!” Mars shouted as she and the inners pursued Yugi.

Moon, Nabiki, And Kasumi looked at each other. “You wanna go get some coffee?” Moon asked detransforming.

“Sure.” Nabiki said.

“I have to go finish dinner. I'm sorry.” Kasumi said heading back to the training hall. “See you later Nabiki.”

“Later Sis!” Usagi and Nabiki headed to the nearest coffee shop.
