ANGEL WINGS

DISCLAIMER: OK Ellen darlin’, it’s all yours. First I wanna thank Mr T for the use of his Angels and stuff. Then I wanna thank everyone else who has been allowing us to use their creations here like Thom Beers for the use of his ice road truckers Hugh, Drew, Rick, Eric, Alex and Bear. I took the liberty of naming the 3WA academy in Furool City on Shimougou after Mr Haruka Takachiho in honour of his creations- the Angels. How was that, Yuri? Great, kiddo. Oh hai it sure was, Kei! Now since we left ya up in the air last time let’s get to Ch 64 without any further meandering, shall we? Why is Zack Zero back and oro does he want with Suba Marina Oki? Can Mandy keep her big mouth shut? A hint re the titles- Aw do ya expect me to spoil it for ya? Oro does this all mean? We’ll find out momentarily gang. The Boss Red Marshall’s on the warpath again! Here ’tis:-

CHAPTER 64

'Into the Void?' or 'Going My Way?'

Zach Zero and Saiya St John were still staring at a blank scanner vidscreen where just a few seconds ago the 'Angel 2' had been in all its glory!

"Did they go 'hyperspace' maybe, Zach?" suggested the svelte green-haired Eloisian yeoman but Zach shook his head slowly.

"If she had we'd still have 'em on scanner vidscreen, kid. Unless-- Oh my Christ! No! She wouldn't have done taht, would she?" yelped a suddenly very worried Zach Zero.

"Unless oro (what), Zach?" she asked perplexedly.

"Unless she used the 'Daedalus Nebulae', poppet." he replied grimly.

"Huh? Not even the Boss would do anything that baka (crazy) or would she? I wonder. Still if anyone could pull it off it would be our Dierdre. That just must be oro (what) she did, Cap." said Saiya.

"That leaves us with no other choice, does it?" replied her skipper.

"We're not following her in there, are we, Zachie?" cried an astonished yeoman.

"Oro (What) other option have we got? Our orders are quite specific. We are to follow them and lend them our support when they finally engage (Count) Dooku or (Grand Admiral) Thrawn or both of 'em. Stand by for a course change. New course heading is 340 SSE. Mark. Entering the nebulae in 3, 2, 1, Mark. Activating 'George' now. From this point on until we exit this cloud we will have no comm relays nor navigational readouts. Better tell the crew and our passengers they can't phone home on their vidcell units, kiddo. By this same time ashita ban (tomorrow night) we'll either have reached 'Stegoros' or we'll be hopelessly lost. The redhead always trusts to her Gaelic luck and dammit so do I. It ain't failed her yet, poppet. It's late so go get some sleep. Oh yeah, do me a favour first and check in on Uncles Charlie, Andy, Don and Anton for me. G'Night, kid." said Zach, both of his aizu (eyes) glued to his scanner vidscreens.

"Sure, Zachie. You know those things don't work, right? (He nodded and waved her away) Nighty night." she replied and left on her errand.

Although nobody aboard the 'Angel 2' was aware of it the four 3WA chiefs were amonst the 'Liberator's handfull of passengers. In addition he had three 'Starfleet' admirals and representatives from the 'UG' and the 'Alliance'. One of the ladies aboard was Han Solo's wife, Leia Skywalker Organa Solo, leader of the Republic of Kurestan.

After peeping in on the chiefs as ordered the Eloisian girl saw that the 'G Boys' were already in Dreamland so she rode the lift down to her own cramped quarters. She was sharing them with Leia, the 'Dragon Queen of Starfleet Command' aka Admiral Katherine Janeway and two of her Flight Lieutenants- Alison Hayes and Esther Huntley who were the Dragon's adjutants.

Saiya very quietly prepared for bed and climbed up into her bunk above Leia. Al stirred in her sleep and rolled over. Almost before her head hit the pillows Saiya was asleep.

Meanwhile Zach strained his orbs in a vain attempt to penetrate the thick misty fog of the nebulae. Soon he too gave in and fell asleep across his console. He was snoring quite heavily when Rangiku Matsumoto came onto the bridge at 0600 (6 AM). The soul reaper lieutenant was wearing a 'Galactic Command' sapper's (like a PFC in the Terran US Army) uniform. She had been pressed into service after she was loaned (along with her 10th Squad captain Toshiro Hitsugaya) by Head Captain Yamamoto of the Soul Society's Sertai to the 'GC'. She swore under her breath. Ichigo and Rukia had really lucked out. Both of them were aboard the 'Angel 2' but she and Toshie had been ordered to report to the 'Liberator'. She swore again. As soon as Toshie had opened his big mouth and told Zero's exec that she (Rangiku) could operate a skysled the skipper had immediately appointed her to be a co-pilot. That was why she was up before the four suns had risen while little Toshie was still dreaming sweet dreams without care.

Rangiku smiled. For this mission the little guy was her equal rather than her superior. No wait. She was a sapper and he was a sapper 2C, a lower rank than she so technically she was his boss. Then she remembered oro (what) she was doing here. She was here to relieve the skipper for the dayshift. Gently she shook Zach's shoulder.

"Awaken sweet prince. I'm here now, Skipper." she said and gave his shoulders another shake. Slowly his aizu (eyes) opened and he yawned a bit.

"Glory be! Am I in Heaven then, me lovely? And are you an angel?" said a bleary-aizued (eyed) Zach Zero.

"No such luck, sir. Sapper Matsumoto and I am here to relieve you, sir. (She saluted and Zach waved her to a seat) Anything important happen last night?" replied the redhead.

"Not too much, darlin'. We're on 'George' until we get outta this 'Daedalus Nebulae' tomorrow night so don't touch anything on the consoles. If we veer offcourse by even a fraction of a kilo we'll be in deep crap. (Rangiku stared at Zero like he was baka) Reds is taking a shortcut so we were forced to follow her into this void. You knew we were following the 'Lovely Angel 2', didn't you, Rangi? (The svelte redhead nodded and sat down) Oh that's right. Two of your pals are aboard her, aren' they?" observed a yawning Zach Zero. Again she nodded and put her feet up on the console.

"Yeah. Ichigo Kurosaki and Rukia Kutschski, the lucky bastards. Hey Cap? How come I got demoted? I am a Lieutenant First Class in Squad 10 of the Soul Society you know." she replied angrily. He shook his head.

"It ain't my fault, sweetheart. Too many Looeys aboard already. The 'GC' only allows two sub-ensign officers and I've already got a dozen ensigns so I demosted you and that shorty kid that came with you. (The 'short kid' was Rangiku's captain Toshiro Hitsugaya) Nothing personal, Rangi. See you later, kiddo." said Zach and he left for his own cabin. Next morning aboard the 'Angel' brought some excitement.

'WOOHP' spygirl Alex was on scanning detail and wasted no time in trilling Han Solo when she spotted it- a strange blip on the scanners' vidscreens.

"Captain Solo? Ensign Alex here, sir. There seems toi be someone following us, sir. Could you come and take a look, sir? Thanks you." she trilled.

"Oro (What) did that kid just say, Solo?" queried Gene Starwind.

"Al says we got company, old pal. I'd better go and take a look. Be rigth back." drawled Solo and he ambled next door top the nav room. After one glance at Alex's vidscreens he chuckled.

"Nothing to worry about there, love. That's just our 'GC' escort. It's Zach Zero's 'Liberator'. He must have followed us into the nebulae, kid. (Alex grabbed a vid mike) Don't hail him, Al. We gotta maintain comm relay silence and relays won't work inside 'Daedalus' anyway. Watch him and keep us posted, Al." drawled Han Solo who had absolutely no idea that his 'better half' was cruising along less than 200 K kilos behind them.

Kouga and Jimbo Hawking had not the slighest inkling of why they were all of a sudden scrubbing pots and pans in the galleys.

Nyssa had awakened in sick bay with a pounding headache and not a clue as to oro (what) the Hell had happened to her. All the young Trakken maiden recalled was sitting beside Mr Drew inside the 'Matterhorn' downstairs in the docking bays. 'StunGun' Millie Thompson came in, took another tricorder eading and handed Nyssa a grey 'Hydroxylein' capsule. Nyssa dutifully swallowed it with the flask of water the big girl handed her. Millie wished her well and reported to her job in Engineering. Actually Millie was an assistant space tech on the 'Nova Hellsing' under Junpei's jurisdiction but when the 'Nova H' was not in use she was used as an oiler on the main ship under Chief Engineer 'Dynamo' the huge Triceraton dinosaur.

A few short hours later Nyssa reported for duty on the bridge. Yuri promptly ordered her back to her quarters with th command to rest there until the mammoth ship docked on 'Remus'. Meanwhile aboard their rendezvous ship the 'Shalimar' Commander Alan Gabriel was frowning. He had just tried to reach the 'LA2' several times to no avail whatsoever. Even his vidcell unit was not responding.

"They are inside 'Daedalus', Commander Alan, sir. That is why we can neither comm relay nor vidcell call them." explained the sombre looking kid in a maid's black uniform. Alan was startled.

"How do you know that, poppet?" he asked.

"Don't ask, Al. Even I ain't been able to figure that one out." answered Roger Smith.

"If they're travelling through 'that thing' they've got a 30 to 70 chance of getting here anytime soon." observed a striking blonde beuty who was calling herself 'Angela Sullivan' for this mission.

"Why? Oro (What) the dickens are you talking about, Miss Sullivan?" demanded a fuming Gabriel.

"The nebulae fluctuates and spins its way across the great cosmos of space, sir. That means a traveller has no guarantee of exiting it where he expects to, sir. If all goes well with any kind of luck as Roger calls it they will reach 'Stegoros' sometime this evening and arrive here tomorrow evening around 2200 hours, that is ten o'clock, sir." explained Dorothy Wainwright. Dorothy was neither girl nor maid. Instead she was a state-of-the-arts robotic android and the alternative power source for Roger Smith's 'BGR' known as 'Big O'.

"Is she ever wrong, Smith?" demanded Alan tightly.

"Not that I ever heard, Commander." replied Angela (Angel) Sullivan.

"Whatever became of that old fool Norman, Smith?" asked Alan. Roger chuckled and lit a cigarette. He offered one to Angela who took it and accepted his light. Alan was smoking a dark stogie already. Dorothy had no vices and of course did not smoke.

"He refused to leave the mansion unprotected, Alan. Actually I think the real reason he begged off accompanying us is that he gets airsick. Besides with our Dorothy along with us he wasn't really necessary. Why'd you tag along with us, Angel?" replied Roger Smith. Alan blew a smoke ring.

"Yes, my dear child. Exactly why are you here?" he asked pointedly.

"I have my own mission and it's top secret, sirs." answered the blonde, stubbing out her cigarette and lighting another.

Not counting Dorothy it seemed that not a single person aboard the 'Shalimar' was wearing any kind of uniform. Belowdecks and taking up most of the docking bays' floor space was the aforementione d'Big O', a monstrous behemoth megadeuce robot looking for all the Universes like that wooden Indian 'Kaw-Liga' from the ancient Terran song. This was the sixth of the 'BGR's or 'big giant robots' the other five being the four 'Gundams' aboard the 'Angel 2' and 'MEGAS' which hailed from Terra's far distant future. And while we are speaking of 'MEGAS' not so far away on an asteroid little bigger than a tiny moon three people were standing around 'MEGAS' itself. Two of them were arguing violently with each other. The third was quietly watching the skies above the asteroid.

"Dammit Coop! I told you to fill up on Mars! Now how the bloody Hell are we supposed to get to 'Romulus'?" yelled a very angry red-headed female pilot.

"Sorry Kiva! (Not the same one that commands the 'Coriander' of course. This is another Kiva) My bad, man! Hey! I got it. Can't you just make us some fuel for the big dude?" asked a tall gangling blonde guy who resembled a football linebacker gone to pot. (The old meaning for 'pot' as in 'pot-bellied' or 'beer gut').

"Why don't we just hitchhike, guys?" bubbled a brown-haired girl attired in an old-fashioned maid's uniform complete with cap and gloves. Kiva frowned and pointed at the girl.

"And why I 'ever' let you talk me into picking her ass up is beyond me, Coop!" grumbled Kiva who was sitting on a rock. Suddenly the blonde guy snapped his fingers.

"Hey Kurumi! (The maid gave him a bright smile) Can we borrow some of your motor oil, Honey? Then Kiva can refine it into fuel for 'MEGAS'. OK?" asked Coop and Kurumi the Steel Angel nodded emphatically.

"Sure, Mr Coop, sir." she said and began yanking off her dress. Kiva jumped up quickly.

"Kurumi! You put that right back on dammit! Coop! We can't use her oil. Oro (What) could I mix it with anyway?" said Kiva. "Kurumi honey we can't hitchhi--" she added, breaking off when she spotted a huge ship circling overhead!

CHAPTER 61

'Into the Labyrinthe' or 'Hail From the Chief'




Junpei was busily waxing Mi-Ke the Elf Hunters' mammoth M-17 tank while Celsia dozed beside Peachy on a blanket. Peach was the team's pet panda who was a bit on the strange side. He crapped out rolls of toilet paper! Celsia was an Elfin queen who was accidentally trapped in the form of an adorable little puppy inu (dog). Junpei's other two companions were Ari and Ryosko. Currently both of them were assigned elsewhere. Ari was serving as the ship's transporter officer and Ryosko (Rees-ko) was in training learning the ropes of a tank gunner warrior back at Takachiho Academy on Shimougou. When Elie got there and innocently told Junpei that she had a 'spell fragment form ElfLand for him' there was nobody at all on hand to stop him from searching for it. Poor Elie!

You see in order for Junpei, Ari and Ryosko to return from ElfLand to Terran Japan and in order for Celsia to regain her human form they first had to collect all the 'spell fragments' of an ancient Elfin spell for Celsia to use. The problem was that a portion of this spell (a spell fragment) was printed or tattooed on certain female elves. The only way to find out if an elf maiden was in fact marked with a fragment was to ahem 'disrobe' the hapless victim! In ElfLand it was pretty much old hat it being the law there to allow these searches. Why? If the spell wasn't performed soon both Terra and ElfLand would meld together with disastrous results! Besides which many of the elfin maids were more than ready to give their all for the Cause! Of course the trio of Hunters had long ago decided to remain in ElfLand anyway there being nothing back on Terra for them. Junpei was unemployed, Ari was a struggling actress and Ryosko was a disgruntled schoolgirl.

Now Junpei was being trained as a 3WA space tech engineer, Ryosko was an officer in training and Ari was slated to attend the Academy and become an administrative assistant to Chief Garner! To make a long story short when Junpei had heard Elie's message he merely did oro (what) comes naturally and--

THWACK! "You big dumbass ox! Didn't you notice that I'm not an elf for Kami's (God's) sake? As you can see I am not tattooed with any spell fragments! (Elie yanked her fuku (clothing or outfit) away from the big galoot whose right cheek was quite red where Elie'd belted him) I'm going behind that thing (Mi-Ke) to get dressed! I'd appreciate it if you didn't peek! If you do I'll beat the crap outta you!" screamed a very irate Elie who was turning crimson and was totally au natural!

Junpei sulked and rubbed his jaw. "Sorry honey but you said you had a 'spell fragment' for me so I searched you for it, that's all. So it's really your own damned fault! Hey! You forgot these, love." explained the big guy and he strolled behind the tank to return Elie's very brief mini bikini briefs to her.

WHAM! "Pervert! Don't you understand English dammit? Get the Hell outta here!" yelled Elie.

Junpei rubbed the 'mouse' on his left aizu (eye) and cursed. "Some people, boyo! Try to do 'em a favour and oro (what) do you get? Grief dammit! OW!" he yelped.

"Well no real harm done, I suppose." she said sheepishly. Now that she was clad Elie was no longer angry with the big dude who was sort of cute. "Sorry for hitting you, sir but when that nice Mr Hawking told me what to say to you--" she began explaining.

"Jimbo sent you down here? Wait'll I tell Gene (Starwind was Hawking's boss) about this! Hawkie's gonna get what's coming to him, boyo! Hey! Why the Hell DID you come down here anyway? Nobody ever visits us down here in the boondocks as a rule so why did Jimbo send you down here?" asked a curious circus strong man who had found an ice holo pack and was holding it to his swelling 'mouse' bruise.

Elie quickly explained and Junpei pointed to his replicator. "You idiot broad! Of course gambling aboard ship's allowed but hardly anyone ever gambles. Oro's (What's) the point when we can rep up anything we need or want with that thing. Aboard the 'Angel' everything else is free so we can drink, smoke, play games, read holos, watch vids, play on the holodecks, anything. But if you like I can rep up cards, slots, roulette, horse racing, whatever you want, kid. Just name it, Miss Elie." explained the elf hunter.



By now all she wanted to do was to belt that Hawking creep right in the chops in front of all his pals but Miss Vincent (Rally the 'Cat') had warned them that any kind of trouble at all would land the perp or perps in the ship's brig. "Holodecks? Exactly what and where are they, sir?" she asked sweetly. Junpei grinned and explained. Then he sent her up to Level 8 where she spent a relaxing and quite enjoyable afternoon breaking the bank in Monte Carlo. She felt a tad guilty that Haru couldn't be here with her but it was his own fault. She and Griffy had warned him about wandering around this monstrosity in the wee hours of the night but did he listen? No! Although how it was that Musicaa wasn't caught as well was beyond the Hellcat's understanding. Poor Rave Master- scrubbing pots and pans like a scullery maid. She giggled at the thought of Haru Glory in an apron taking orders from a woman!

Unknown to Elie the Rave Master had been released from KP captivity earlier that day and even now he was practicing his kenjutsu ryuu (sword fighting style) in the holodeck room next door to hers. The big dragon dragoon warrior had cheerfully replaced the kid in the galley. He liked that jungle gal Leila and hoped to ask her out for a drink and maybe even dinner later in the week. Musicaa was chatting up Marlene far above him in the 'star room' (observation deck lounge) with a thought towards 'picking up' the svelte blonde Brigadier! Fat chance! Griff and Ruby were tending bar while little Pluu (Haru's carrot-nosed 'dog') was merrily frisking about and playing up on the command deck to most of the flight crew's delight and to the annoyance of the temporary exec Light Yagami. Ryuuk was pushing his ethereal hand through the small pet and out again until Light shoved the white ball of fluff into the nav room and shut the door.

Belowdecks Junpei had had a change of heart over getting Jimbo into hot water (Kami! What if the Boss Lady were to find out?) and had settled down to a quiet game of pool in the rec room with Lord Ivy and Becky.

Right after dinner Winry Rockabelle was sent to 'fetch the Boss' to take a very important comm relay call. It was from one of those 'G Twins'- either Andy Gooley or Chuck Garner, probably Uncle Charlie or Ojou wouldn't have had such a kitten. Winry timidly tapped on the commander's portal. "Enter." came the gruff growl from within. Although only a few years older than her Winry was sometimes quite terrified of this redheaded Hellcat. She hesitaed until-- "I said come in dammit!" repeated the gruff voice. Winry cringed. Nobody EVER ignored the Boss three times! She steeled herself and slid the door aside. She stepped into Kei's parlour feeling more than ever like the proverbial fly in the spider's den!

"A very important call for you on the bridge, mum." said the blonde shakily. Kei yawned.

"OK. Thanks, Win. Tell YamKumi (Ojou the Terran Yakuzza princess was filling in for Kome as comm officer) I'll take it here. (She pointed to a bank of vidscreens across the room) Have her relay it to vidscreen #3." ordered the Boss, however, Winry shook here head.

"Sorry, Auntie Boss. No can do, mum. It's a 'Tach 9' relay and Auntie Ojou said it was an 'FYEO' (For Your Eyes Only) call. You have to take it on the bridge. It's probably Mr Garner, mum." explained the blonde automail mechanic. The Boss sighed and slipped a Mark XIII ion cannon into her kimono's pocket. "Lead on Spirit." she joked only Winry didn't get the drift so Kei shrugged and pointed to the door. She followed Winry up to the bridge where Winry made a bee line for the nav room. Ojou shoved a vidmike into Kei's outstretched palm.

"Everybody out. Clear the bridge. This is an 'FYEO' relay and those are my standing orders. This shouldn't take long so don't wander too far. Wait in my ready room if you wanna." said the Red Marshall.

"Hullo Charlie. Oro's (What's) up, boyo?" she trilled and stared into the familiar sourpuss visage of Territorial Sector Chief Charles Augustus Garner who Kome called the 'Big Cheese'. Garner was livid with anger.

"Deirdre! Where the Sam Hell are you? Why aren't you guys at 'Remus' dammit? Answer me, Katie!" he howled.

Kei flared right back at him. The Boss never backed down from anyone and she gave as good as she got no matter who the Hell it was!

"Where the Hell am I? You should know that, me old boyo! You sent Zach along to babysit us, didn't you? (As a matter of fact he hadn't. He had not requested Zach Zero's 'Liberator' specifically when he'd asked the 'GC' to provide an escort for the 'Angel'.) As you already know we are half a solar week out from 'Remus' and we've got four Gundams aboard. We just lifted off from 'Onsokamaru' and if you don't belive me then ask John Raven dammit!" trilled a defiant and angry Red Marshall. Garner sighed and swallowed a 'Hydroxylein' tablet. He washed it down with a healthy swig of 'Galusol' before lighting a cigarette.

"OK I apologize, Deirdre. However, I was NOT informed of your detour and I didn't tell Zach to keep tabs on you. I didn't even know Zero was even with the 'Galactic Command' for Kami's (God's) sake. So Zero IS there? (Kei nodded) We did ask 'GC' to lend us an escort for you guys but we didn't even know Zach had signed up with them. Well, you get yourselves to 'Remus' just as soon as you possibly can and rendezvous with the 'Shalimar'. That's the contribution from the 'Neptune Regiment'. Her skipper's an Alan Gabriel (Kei raised her aizu (eye) brows but remained silent) Roger Smith and his 'Big O' megadeuce are aboard as well so with your four Gundams and 'MEGAS' (another big giant robot) at our disposal (Kei opened her mouth but said nothing and closed it again) we'll have half a dozen of those metal monsters and--" explained Charlie before Kei did say something.

"Oro (What) the Hell! Where'd you find 'MEGAS' and how'd you blackmail Kiva and Coop into helping us out?" demanded the Boss.

"We found 'MEGAS' on 'Antares 8' and we didn't have to 'blackmail' Coop or Kiva into helping us. All we had to do was to promises them not to saddle them with those two 'Jersey Jerks' of yours until after the fighting was all over." answered Garner. Kei grimaced and winced.

"Gee Charlie, thanks ever so much for leaving me stuck with 'em. You're all heart." replied a sarcastic tro-con. Garner ignored the comment.

"By the way just what did you find to keep them occupied while they're aboard? Kiva says they're useless." asked the chief. Kei smirked.

"I keep 'em in the galleys. Turns out they're both great cooks. However, I'll still be glad to be rid of 'em, Chuck." replied the Boss.

"OK. You be sure and relay me when you get to 'Remus' and make contact with Gabriel and Smith. Good luck, kiddo. Sayonara." said Charlie Garner, abruptly blanking his vidscreen.

"I'll be sure and do that, Chuck. Bye." replied Kei, blanking her own vidscreen. She turned as Han peeked around the corner of the bridge door.

"All clear? OK for us to come back in now, Boss?" he asked. Kei waved him and the others back onto the bridge.

"We still headed for 'Remus'?" she demanded.

"Sure are. A few more days, say five. Why?" said Gene Starwind.

"You got three, Cap. It is imperative that we get there with all the speed we can muster, that's why. Try to get a relay through to Alan Gabriel on the 'Shalimar' of the 'Neptune Regiment' and trill me when you raise them. We're meeting up with them at 'Remus'. I'll be on the 'star deck' if you need me. Later." said Kei and she headed for the gantryway stairs. She had a Helluva lot of crap to mull over so she decided to walk down the two flights to Level 7. Voices were coming from the 'star room' when Kei got there.

"And then there was the time I singlehandedly defeated all six of the palace guardians, my dear Miss Angel. There I was--" said Musicaa as the redhead entered the 'star room'.

"Singlehandedly? The way I heard the story from Leth was that Haru, Elie, Griff, Pluu and a brother-sister duo helped you out when you guy admonished those palace creeps." chuckled the Boss.

"How ya feeling, Blondie?" she added and lit up a cheroot. Mar managed a wan smile.

"Much much better, Boss! In fact I think I should return to duty immediately, don't you?" replied the blonde Brigadier eagerly. Kei shook her head and mouthed the word 'nai' (no).

"No way in jigoku (Hell), kiddo. I'm already in enough hot water with the dingbat (Yuri) and I sure as the oni (devil) don't need to get in any more! Our medic (Yuri) says a couple of more days' rest for you and that's that. (She glanced at Mar's companion and grinned) Hullo there, Musicaa. I don't think we'vereally met yet. I'm Kei O'Halloran. Call me Kei or Boss. Glad to have you aboard, boyo." said the Boss and she stuck out a gloved hand in greeting which Musicaa ignored and began laughing.

"What the Sam Hell are you? The floor show?" he chortled, still ignoring Kei's hand of greeting. Mar winced and jetted her chair to the other end of the room.

"Batten down the hatches, hoist the storm flags and stand by for rough weather. Here comes trouble for sure." said an amused blonde.

"Now now, Boss. Cool it. Musicaa didn't know that you're the c.o. (commanding officer) so give the poor kid a break. Please?" she coaxed and Kei relented.

"OK. I guess anyone can make a mistake. How's the view today?" replied Kei, blowing a few smoke rings. While she was facing the viewing window the blonde grabbed the silver wielder and whispered frantically in his ear.

"Listen you big dummy. She ain't called 'Boss' for nothing, kid. She really IS our commanding officer." said Mar and Musicaa blinked.

"Her? I thought you ran the ship? After all you're a Brigadier." he replied.

"Yeah only the Boss is a Marshall. She's got a really hot Gaelic temper so be careful or you'll be on the receiving end of it like your Captain D'Greele was." whispered Mar. Changing the subject he pointed out the viewing window. "Can we see my world from here?" asked Musicaa and Mar shook her head.

"Nope. You can see only for a few thousand lightyears from here. Your world is ten times that distance from us. See that tiny red dot? (He nodded) That's 'Antares' and that asteroid is ten thousand lightyears from Mars." explained Mar. Musicaa whistled.

"So I suppose we won't be going home anytime soon?" he asked.

"Sorry but our next stop is 'Remus' and that's 25 lightyears from here. It's that grey world over there. (Mar pointed to the West) We'll be there in a few more days." explained the svelte blonde. Musicaa choked on his gin rickey.

"How fast are we going for Christ's sake?" he demanded.

"Not too fast. About 25 Warp." answered Marlene Angel.

"More like 35 now, Blondie. Garner wants us there in 72 solar hours." corrected Kei. A service droid had wiped up Musicaa's spilled drink and placed another one on the table.

"Whta's a Warp?" he asked.

"Lightspeed." replied Kei without turning around. Musicaa stared open-mouthed at her back.

"She means the distance light travels in a single solar second, roughly 170,000 kilos (kilometres). Like I said it's pretty damned slow." said Mar. Kei stretched.

"Think I'll check the bridge before I hit the sack. Blondie needs her beauty rest so don't keep her up too much longer. G'Night." said Kei.

"She's kawaii (beautiful or lovely) enough already for me right now, Reds." murmured a smitten Musicaa.

"C'mon lover boy. I'll walk you home. Five more minutes, Blondie. Then you get to your bunk and that's an order, Brig. G'Night." said Kei, dragging Musicaa by the ear. She dropped him off at the RAVE Suite on Level 4.

"Really Mr Musicaa! You and Mr D'Greele have simply got to stop bringing these trollopes and floozies home with you! I am not running a flop house you know!" scolded Griff when he answered the door. Kei bristled but said nothing and returned to the bridge.

Angel Wings Ch 39- Of Novas & Battle Moons

Mystery Pix of the Post: A tomo over on anime-a-holics just found this kawaii pair from an unusual series named ? The woman is a private detective named ? and she has a terrible secret. Similar to the Bounts' curse in Bleach. Her small companion is a computer whiz/hacker extraordinaire named ? and despite her youthful looks she'd have a damned good shot at outdrinking an Angel! Kudos for finding this tomo Elwin Coldiron and arigatou for the video over at my anime-a-holics site at eons.com

Anyone know the answers to this one? Having never seen it all I know are the title name and character names. Hint- Think of InuYasha character and the first Major's voiceactress on Ghost in the Shell film. Title is three words. Think of ancient Greek wars. Good luck!


This is quite rare. A solo Sango (sans Miroku) and Kirara. Wonder where the monk got to? Asking another kawaii maiden the question perhaps? Where on Terra is Sango's hiraikotsu. Her brother Kohaku uses a katayama and she did too earlier but I have never seen her with one since she joined the IY brigade. That katana is like Kouga's- she hardly ever uses it and I have seen Wolf Cub draw it only once. Kouga pix are really hard to find. Sango is too. This one is from a gaming website.
The Heroic Hanyou Himself- Meet InuYasha Very rare- a solo pix of the halfer.

A very devish Angel indeed! Even without weapons! A rare pix from the very early days.

ANGEL WINGS

DISCLAIMER: OK Xavier, it's all yours. First I wanna thank Mr T for the use of his Angels and stuff. Then I wanna thank everyone else who has been allowing us to use their creations here like Thom Beers for the use of his ice road truckers Hugh, Drew, Rick, Eric, Alex and Bear. I took the liberty of naming the 3WA academy in Furool City on Shimougou after Mr Haruka Takachiho in honour of his creations- the Angels. How was that, Yuri? Great, kiddo. Oh hai it sure was, Kei! Now since we left ya up in the air last time let's get to Ch 39 without any further meandering, shall we? Why is Zack Zero back and oro does he want with Suba Marina Oki? Can Mandy keep her big mouth shut? A hint re the titles- Yes I mean a superheated star explosion! Ariadne has nothing to do with the Labyrinth myth. Oro does this all mean? We'll find out momentarily gang. Here 'tis:-

CHAPTER 39

'Tapping A Supernova' or 'Ariadne's Thread'

"Donnie, take us back up to 25 Warp and drop our 'cloak'. Engage the 'Chameleon Circuit' and disguise us as some visiting dignitary from .Minerva' please. That should keep the 'ISSP' from pulling us over anymore. Don't forget to change us back before we reach the outer markers though. Arigatou (Thanks) tomo (friend). Bishop out." relayed Donnatella's Acting Commander.

"Yo! 'Tigress'! How's about some java and croissants? Use the repper back there. Looks like we're pulling a 'twofer' (double shift). Arigatou (Thanks) love." trilled Joey.

"OK but after that can I please get some sleep, Joey? I'm bushed, man." trilled a pleading 'Tigress'.

"Sure. Why not? We're back on George. love. There's enough bedrooms up here so take your pick." he trilled.

'Tigress' dutifully repped up a snack and delivered it to the bridge. Then she chose the bedroom at the very stern of the deck and went to sleep. Joey Bishop returned to his holovid novel and peace reigned on the 'LA2' at last.

"Gozaimasu (Good morning), Mr Bishop. You been up all night? (He nodded) Better go grab some chow before you hit the sack, Joey. 'Tigress' still sleeping? (He nodded again) Off ya go then." said Kiva Nerese who was refreshed after a fairly decent night's sleep.

"Thanks Cap. Oh yeah- don't 'cloak' us, Kiva. We got a warning last night about that from the 'ISSP'. That and speeding. So watch it, Cap. See ya later." yawned a grateful Bishop. Kiva stared at him.

"All ya got was a warning? Even when the cop found out ya don't have a K-Class Master's license?" asked a stunned Bjorn captain.

"Yeah and the funny thing is that when the copper noticed something on the vid doc holos' readout it seemed like he couldn't get off this ship fast enough. He just told me to 'decloak' and watch the speeds after we get back home. Strange, ain't it, Cap?" asked a puzzled pilot and Kiva smirked.

"Nope, not really. He probably recognized the name of our esteemed fearless leader, Joey. Reds seems to have that effect on most folks ya know. Don't worry. I won't 'cloak' us. Get some rest, pal. Ja Mata (See ya later)." she replied and continued reading the romantic holovid novel she'd been reading last night.

Kei and Yuri slept on until almost lunchtime. "Yuri? Ya want some lunch?" trilled the Boss.

"No! Go away and let me sleep darn it!" trilled Yuri from next door.

Kei shrugged and took a quick shower. Standing in the 'drying alcove' (like a warm sauna room the 'alcoves' served the same purpose as bath towels aboard ship) she wondered how her new pilot 'temp' was doing.

"Well, no klaxons, alarms or urgent trillings so I guess everything's OK. If everything goes this smoothly the rest of today then by ashita (tomorrow) we'll be home in plenty of time for Leia's chin wagging session with that old fossil DeLorean (She meant Galdonicus Alorien, King of 'Orleans' on 'Dune', new leader of the 'Rygielian Empire' but Kei was terrible with names!)." she thought.

"Mugghi, send up lunch. How's our time? Sometime before ten tomorrow morning. That's cutting it awful close but it should be OK. After all they can't start without me, can they? Better send the Vacuumhead's lunch up too. Who's piloting us? Who? Kiva? Ya better get Gene and Han back in the saddle, Furball. I sure as Hell don't need any more screw-ups. Yeah. Of course I heard all about our run in with the 'ISSP' last night. So Lumpy's (She meant Sgt Algonquin Lumpass who was a 'KP Patrol' highway cop last time they'd met. Read all about that encounter in 'Splattertown' in 'Xmas with the DP') an 'ISSP' cop now eh? I ain't seen him since he pulled Yuri over that time in 'Splattertown' (District 427 'Furool (Foo-Lon) City's nickname. District 427 was one of the toughest sectors of the city!) and I had to call Roy (Mustang. He is the Chief of 'FC's 'KP Patrol' police force having transferred from the 'State Alchemy Army' on 'Amestris' some years before. His ex-exec Riza Hawkeye was the currently re-elected 'FC' Police Commissioner and here's a switch- Roy's boss!) for help. That Patroller 3C (Third Class) Genna Peterson looked to be pretty cool though. She saw right through Joey and 'Tigress' last night. Maybe she'd like a transfer to the 3WA. Oro (What) do ya think, tomo (friend)? Yeah, I think I'll call Rafe (Donnelly. He is the head honcho of the 'ISSP' on Mars. His HQ is 'Moravian City' over there) about her when we get back home. Maybe I'll see ya at din-din, Furball. Kei out." trilled the redhead.

Meanwhile two levels up in the old Level Five conference room that the InuYasha brood had used for a dorm room the very first night that they had arrived aboard the 'LA2' those two short years ago the Chiefs were having a good old-fashioned 'think tank' session via vid comm relay link with 'Uncle Vito Galadriel and the leaders of the 'ISSP', 'GC', 'UG', the 'EA', the 'UEF', 'Starfleet Command', the Terran 'Interpol', 'CIA', 'MI5', 'FBI' and the 'Gallifreyan 'High Council of Time Lords' about these new 'time sight' processes.

"It seems to me that these 'time sight' devices have had good test results so I am going to approve their usage to send all of our 'travellers' back home unless there are objections from anyone here?" said the self proclaimed 'God almighty' of the 3WA and the 'UG'. Suddenly everyone had an opinion!

"Order! Order! Ladies and gentlemen, one at a time please!" said Garner trying to restore order to chaos.

By dinnertime (1700 hours aka 5 PM) all of the 'problems' had been resolved to everybody's satisfaction- save one.

Commander James Bond (ex-007) of the Terran 'MI5 'fka 'British Intelligence' cleared his throat.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have only one question to be answered before granting 'New Brittania's (England's name in the 23rd Century) approval to this vitally important 'time sight' mission. ("Dammit he sounds more and more like an old stuffed shirt every day, doesn't he?" growled 'Starfleet's Grand Supreme Admiral Katherine Janeway to her seat mate Charles Garner who pretended not to hear her) This project is going to need a whole Helluva lot of power to run it. Hell, it's going to need an 'unlimited' source of 'inexhaustible' energy for it to work at all! Where are we going to find this source?" asked the suave ex-007 secret agent (Some 'secret agent'! Everyone knew Mr James Bond the famous 007) who was now the liaison betwixt 'MI5' as well as 'Interpol' and practically every other space federation and law enforcement group in the known Universe.

He sat down and Doctor 'Q' (Chief R&D scientist for 'UG' and the 3WA. His research assistant was Dr Wolf von Bork) stood up.

"We have been working on rebuilding a top secret project generator which was first invented in AD 2140. 'Kronos'--" began the 3WA's top scientific genius researcher.

"Please be so good as to correct me if I am in error, Doctor but isn't that the self same project that started up this whole time/space continuum mess in the first place?" interjected his younger assistant.

"Quite right, Dr von Bork and we certainly don't want to screw that up again so 'Kronos' is definitely not an option, people. End of discussion." stated Vito Galadriel in a soft but firm tone that meant there would be no further arguments on this matter.

After a prolonged silence a quiet voice was heard.

"Oro (What) if we could somehow harness the energy discharge blast from an exploding supernova (A nova would be our sun exploding. A supernova would be a thousand suns exploding)? We have stars exploding all the time it seems so wouldn't it be nice to put all that energy to positive use for once?" asked Kommandant General Nathaniel Gort, leader of the 'Galactic Command', his old aizu (eyes) twinkling. Gort was himself a scientific researcher in quantum mechanics and physics as well as in time travel technology.

"If anyone's interested 'Karastan' is due to go supernova in the next fortnight (15 days) and we could use it for power if we hurry. The energy blast could be both easily and safely extrapolated and the excess ionic plasma burst energy could be stored in an asteroid or even inside a hollow battle moon like oh say 'Ariadne'. I am sure it would work but it's not my decision to make, is it now?" agreed Dr Warren Kleinholdt who was Chief Technical Advisor from Terra's own 'NASA' space technology group.

His plan was speedily approved and 'Klink' (With his monocle and gauntness the tall scientist closely resembled the Kommandant of Stalag 13 on that ancient Terran tv show 'Hogan's Heroes') was placed in command of the energy juxtapositioning team. His HQ would be the battle moon he had suggested- 'Ariadne' and the mission was duly dubbed (oro (what) else?) 'Ariadne's Thread'.

It was further decided that both Dr Sally Mimoru and Miss Kira Gordon would be moved to 'Ariadne' along with Doctor 'Q', von Bork, Gort, Doctor Six, all of the alchemists and BetaZoids (Eloisians like Saiya St John of the 'Liberator' were not compatible it seemed with 'Ariadne's astral fields), several more personnel deemed necessary and a phalanx of 3WA tro-cons for security purposes. Then the shit hit the fan!

'Klink' insisted on having the original 'LA2' crew as well as the starship itself transferred to 'Ariadne' to act as security for his team and he further demanded that Maureen O'Hara the Amazon witch and her bubble-headed birdbrain nitwit exec Yugioh Donaldson (Wait until Kei and Yuri see how the German butchered their ancient Celtic names!) be included in the mix.

Adding insult to injury or vice versa Doctor 'Q' and Dr Wolf von Bork agreed and then they demanded that 'Pinkie' Smoochie and 'Blondie' deAngeles (Line up folks. Right behind Kei and Yuri will be Kome Sawaguchi and Marlene Angel!) make the trip as well.

"You screwballs want the 'Unholy Four'? I suppose I should be glad that you didn't ask for the 'Insane Six' instead." exploded Gooley.

Almost everyone there (with the possible exception of 'Klink') knew that the 'Unholy Four' were Marshall Kei O'Halloran, Wing Commander Yuri Donovan, Colonel Marlene Angel and Subaltern Kome Sawaguchi.

However, many did not know or had forgotten that these four plus Kei and Yuri's AD 2140 counterparts (Keisie and Yuyu were also named Kei and Yuri) comprised the 'Insane Six'.

END of Ch 39. Ch 40 'The Two Towers' or 'Kei Cracks the Code' soon. Getting interesting eh? Wonder how our heroine's gonna get outta this one? Read on and r/r/s away as always. Have a wunnerful day and sfn/sys/jm/Kami bless you all for your interest and assistance. Hooble-toodle-doo! Toodles tomos watashi-K&K

I dickered over this chapter's titles. Let me know if I got 'em right eh?
