I just had to post this pix of Kagome and our fave inu hanyou InuYasha. This pix hails from a very early eppy of this long running anime series.

AW Ch 57 'Angel for the Angels?' or 'On to Onsokamaru?'
Wow! Kei's been injured and now that worst of all combat weapons is in Zorin's cronies' hands- Gundams! Almost as terrifying as the 'God Guns' or the Angels' new toy- the r-- whoops! I almost let the neko outta the sack folks! This chapter will put two close tomos at loggerheads with each other and nai it ain't Vacuumhead and Firebrand either! Some old tomos returned and the Boss decides to go to ? Who's in sick bay and how did she end up there? Why is Yuri Donovan furious?
ANGEL WINGS
DISCLAIMER: OK Lady Celsia 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 57 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 57
'Angel for the Angels?' or 'On to Onsokamaru?'
The blonde looked at the Boss like she had lobsters crawling out of her ears. "Are you bloody baka (crazy) or something, girl? We're on hyperdrive and we're almost half way to the 'Adonis Arch'! Where the Hell do you want to go this time? Ganymede?" yelled an angry Marlene Angel.
Kei stared at her coolly. "Close but 'Onsokamaru' is our new destination. (Mar swore and smashed her mug down on the table so hard that it shattered. Blood began seeping through the Brig's fingers but she didn't even notice but the Boss did). Holy Christ Mar! You're bleeding!" screeched the redhead.
Mar glanced down and grinned. "Don't go hysterical on me, kiddo. It's just a scratch, Katie." she replied. Mar calmly walked over to the kitchenette and rinsed off the palm of her right hand. Then she smeared 'Kolacydyl' (space age synthetic astringent/antiseptic like Terran alcohol) on the 'scratch' which was pumping red like crazy. The stuff burned like the nine Hells but the former 'Earth 2' fighter of the 'Blues' merely winced a bit and bit her tongue. She reached into the cupboard for adhesion pads, gauze and bandages. She found a dusty roll of bandage and a few old adhesion pads but no gauze. She slapped the ad-pads on the cut and using her fingers to hold them against the blood flow she rummaged for gauze in the other cainets and drawers. Then she frowned.
"Where the oni (devil) do you keep the gauze, girl?" she yelled and dropped the bandage rolls on the floor.
"Top shelf behind the sugar, kid. Ya better let me call the Vacuumhead though 'cause ya might need stitches, Mar." rplid the Boss suddenly vaulting over both sofa and counter top to catch the swooning blonde before she hit the deck. Kei shoutd and she sounded panic stricken.
"Airhead! My quarters! Stat! Bring your med kit! Mar's hurt bad! Now Yuri! Not ashita (tomorrow)!" shouted Kei through her comlink.
In the star room four levels above Kei's suite Yuri snatched up her med kit pack and tore down the gantryway stairs like all the demons of Dante's Inferno were hot on her heels! Kei never ever clled her Yuri unless she the Boss was in real trouble- deep crapola kind of trouble! Christ! Had she said that Mar was hurt bad? How? Why? Then she grimaced and got mad.
"I wonder oro the Hell Mar did or said to upset that Hellfire banshee moron?" observed the exec aloud.
"That is the very lst damned straw! If that dipstick's beating up Marlene then I am taking command of this ship dammit all!" she howled scaring the Hell out of poor little Rin who raced shreiking up the hallway towards 'Demon World' and Daddy Sess and Uncle InuYasha. However, Yuri calmed down once she got to the suite and had examined Mar's hand. After the first glance she relaxed a bit.
"Sorry Kei but I thought sure you'd done a real number on Blondie this time. Oro the devil happened to her anyway?" demanded Yuri while she was suturing a fairly deep cut on the blonde's right palm. Next she injected 150 cc's of 'Axileine 30' (a painkiller/astringent/antiseptic/antibiotic/sedative) into Mar's shoulder.
"That cut was really deep and bled quite a bit but it was not anyhere near severe enough to make her pass out. Did she do anything else besides try and bandage her hand?" asked a puzzled Yuri while she ran a medical tricorder across her patient.
"I dunno. She smashed her cup and cut herself, sloshed some crap on it and yelled for some gauze. Then she just passed out. That's all that happened! Honest injun! I swear to Kami (God) Yuri! I didn't touch her! I did not lay one finger on her! That's the truth dammit!" yelled the panicky redheaded firebrand.
"She should be OK now. I--" she replied. Yuri found the spilled container of 'Kolacydyl' and went white to the roots of her deep violet tresses.
"Kei! Call Ivy and Narku! We got to get Mar to sick by- fst! She must hae used 'Synthenol Koron' on her hand and she' allergic to it! Charge an autohypo with 250 cc' of 'Nordelian 27Y' and gimme it- stat!" yelled Yuri.
However, the Boss was frozen in place. When she continued to stand there like a statue Yuri angrily soved her aside and rummaged in the med kit for the required medication and administered it to the blonde.
"Dammit to Hell! She's dying Kei!" sobbed Yuri trying to wipe away the tears. Yuri's words finally sunk in and Kei was galvanized into action. she trilled the 'Dark Knight' and 'Dog Boy' who arrived almost immediately with an antigrav gurney. Mar's garments had been tossed all over the living room and Yuri had destroyed the blonde's brassiere so she could inject 'Adrenothoron 281-L' directly into her chest above Mar's sternum. Without looking up she barked out orders sharply causing both knight and hanyou to jump.
"Star a 'Lydokorzeen GRJ' drip and get her to sick bay and I mean fast! Hurry up you lugs! She's dying on us!" cried the Wing Commander who was already racing to keep up with them. Luckily sick bay wa at the other end of the long corridor and they got there quickly. Yuri worked franticlly on the young blonde, tears streaming down both cheeks. Then Ryuuk and Light Yagami arrived. Along with most of the ship they had heard Kei's bellowings over the PA sytem and had come to help. Donovn, however, misinterpreted their presences there and said so.
"You bastards! Nai (No)!! You can't have her dammit! Get away from here you death mongers!" she yelped and threw her body across Mar's to protect her. In a rare departure from the norm Ryuuk spoke soothingly and quietly.
"Despair not, my dear child. It is not anywhere near time for her to go with me. Not yet, my dear Duchess." soothed Ryuuk. Yuri's head shot around to face him while she still held Mar tightly in her arms but before she could reply--
"And just how the Fxxx would you know that, tomo mine?" demanded Kei O'Halloran. She advanced menacingly toward the Shinigami with balled fists.
"Because he's a death god, ma'am. He has 'Shinigami Aizu' (Eyes) so he can see a person's name and lifespan above their head sortof like an aura. Trust me Commander. If Ryuuk says it ain't her time yet you cn believe him. Death gods cannot lie (Since when?) and I know that firsthand, Reds. And you can take that to the bank." explained Light.
"Where the Hell am I? Oro's going on around here?" croaked Marlene Angel in a weak voice. Yuri had finished rebandaging the blonde's hand.
"Easy kiddo. You accidentally doused your hand with 'Synthenol Koron' instead of 'Kolacydyl'. You just about killedyourself but you're going to be just fine. However you do need rest." said Yuri.
"The Hell with that crap! I have got a ship to run!" said the blonde. She tossed off the sheet and got to her feet. The gntlemen politely averted their aizu (eyes) exept Ryuuk who was certainly no gentleman! hen Light turned the death god so h too was facing the bulkhead wall. Not that any of it did much good since the 'Angel's bulkheads were made of shiny reflective silver Kelvinite and showed every curve of the svelte blonde's body.
Suddenly noticing her appearance she wrapped the sheet back around herself and stuck her hand out towards Kei.
"Loan me a bracelet, Boss." demanded the blonde and then inexplicably sank back onto the bunk. Yuri had just slammed an autohypo charged with 'Axileine 30' into her rosy derriere.
"There! Another 200 cc's of 'Ax 30' to go with the 'Nordy' so she'll be out for at least 36 solar hours. Hey Boss? Why the Hell did Mar slam down her cup like that anyway? Kei! Oro did you say to her dammit?" demanded Donovan angrily. Kei tapped down a cheroot and stuck it into her mouth before replying.
"I told her was that we had to make a slight detour before we went on to 'Romulus' and 'Remus', that's all." answered the redhead quietly.
"A slight detour to where? Ganymede?" asked a sarcastic vixen.
"Not a bad guess, kiddo but 'Onsokamaru' is our new port o' call." replied the Boss. Yuri's face suddenly softened.
"Mr Garner's orders I take it?" asked Yuri and Kei nodded.
"OK. I'll give the necessary orders, Boss. First off--" began Yuri but Kei held up a hand and shook her head.
"Gomen (Sorry) Yuri but I'm giving command to Han. I need you up in that star room with Neji and Hinata. They've both got those 'baka gun aizu' ('Bayakugan Eyes') but they won't know oro it is they're seeing. From their descriptions, however, you should be able to identify whatever they've spotted and relay the information to Han on the bridge. Sorry kiddo but you are just too damned valuable to us for me to place you in command of the ship this time. (Kei scowled) Why the Hell are we having this discussion anyway dammit? I'm the Boss and I said Han's in command. End of discussion. Dismissed." said Kei. Then she ignited her cheroot and left the room. Yuri was flabbergasted and mad as a Tryloxyian hornet.
"There's no smoking in my sick bay, dipstick!" she shouted at the redhead's disappearing back. Kei waved her cheroot and continued to the lift.
"Bridge and step on it, 'CC'." she ordered. The lift dropped her off on the command deck and the Boss walked onto her bridge.
"Ten-hut! Marshall on the bridge!" shouted Rally thinking Han and Gene hadn't noticed her approach. Kei waved a hand and pressed Han back into his chair.
"At ease. Change our course, Gene. New heading is South Southwest 407.821. We're going to 'Onsokamaru', me old boyos." she ordered.
"Oro the Hell for, Reds?" demanded Starwind gruffly. Kei bristled.
"Because I just said so dammit! Or uh rather because Uncle Charlie just told us to. Han? You're the new temporary commander. Mar's in sick bay and nai, I didn't do it either. This time it really ain't my fault and Yuri said so too. She cut her hand on a busted cup and used some kinda medicine on it that she was allergic to and-- Damnation!! We almost lost Blondie, guys!" shouted the redhead and she finally broke down. The toughest Amazon fireball Hellcat in twelve galaxies burst into tears!
Gene and Han sat her down while Nami came in from next door trailed by 'Cat' and 'Kitten'.
"Is- is that the Boss? Crying?" asked a stunned Rally Vincent. Minnie Mae Hopkins began wiping her aizu (eyes) with a tissue she'd found on the floor. Nami Richards shoved everyone aside and pulled out her pocket flask. "Buck up for Kami's (God's) sake! You're the Boss so act your age dammit!" she growled while she forced some brandy down Kei's throat. It burned like unholy Hell but it apparently worked because some colour came back into the Amazon's cheeks and she got to her feet.
"I'm OK now. Arigatou (Thanks). But we did almost lose Marlene Angel gang! And it was my bloody fault too! When I saw how deep the cut was I should've trilled the vacuumhead and treated Mar until she arrived. I didn't and look oro happened!" sobbed Kei breaking down a second time.
"Christ! Oro the Hell are you doing up here? I've been down at the chow hall waiting for you to show up darn it! Don't worry. I looked in on our patient on the way up. She's fine. Sleeping peacefully she is and with 350 cc's of 'Ax 30' in her bloodstream oro else could she do?" said Yuri from the doorway.
"Was it a real deep cut, Auntie Yuri?" asked Mae.
"Nai. A couple (fifteen) sutures was all it needed. She got some 'Syn K' into her system and had an allergic reaction. Yeah it could have very easily been fatal but Kei's quick thinking probably saved her life." replied Yuri. The redhead looked up, her aizu still wet with salty tears.
"Me? I didn't do nothin'. Nothin'. Nothin' except almost get poor Mar dead!" sniffled the Boss. Yuri spun around to face the Hellcat. Placing both hands on her shoulders she looked her leader squarely in her emerald aizu.
"Nothing that is except save her life you big baka dummy. You splashed water on her hand. That diluted the 'Syn K' and that managed to keep her away from Ryuuk's clutches. You're a heroine, stupid! Mar owes her life to you! I'm proud of you, partner." said Yuri. Kei was still blubbering.
"All I done was to shove her bloody fist into the dirty dishwater and I dunno why I done that even." admitted Kei, the colour returning to her cheeks. Yuri looked like Galactic War 3,000 had just begun.
"Dishwater? Holy shit! Sodium mixed with lanolin! They'll counteract the 'Ad Dro' in her for sure! Kome! Donovan here. Rep me up an autohypo and charge it with a thousand milligrams of 'NovaLydakaine' stat! Meet me at sick bay! Out. Christ! I sure am glad now that I gave her that last 'Ax 30' shot! That means she's calm so just pray that the 'Tetracycogene' hasn't started to work on her yet. Being in a comatose state may save her I hope! Kei! 'Cat'! 'Kitten'! Nami! Move your asses! You'll all have to help me so let's go!" yelled Yuri who was already at the lift.
END of Ch 57. Ch 58 'The Trouble with Gundams' or 'The Return of the Liberator' soon. Getting interesting eh? Wonder how our heroine’s gonna get outta this one? Read on and r/r/s away as always.

Covered elsewhere in this guide.

COD/PremiumChannels/TooMuchForTV/Imports:

This service runs $14.99 a month guys and gals:

Hills Have Size 1 and 2 (Raunchy fare re girls' "hills" ahem breasts!)

(Most of these PPV animes are definitely not for the kids!)

TMFT has other non-anime fare too and it's pretty raunchy so be warned gang!

This is getting tiresome already man! Show of hands onegai of those who think we should stick to adult anime and anime related films only? After all how many 12 year oldsters we got here anyway?

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.

Hope you guys and gals like this new method of posting tv lists. A reminder that Sci Fi's(now SYFY) AniMonday at 11 PM ET is a double eppy of 'Gundam 00' (BGR anime) and a double eppy of 'The Rave Master' (a hilarious swords/sorcery anime a la InuYasha and Those Who Hunt Elves as well as Onepiece. Cool series especially the location names like 'Hip Hop City' OK the 'Rave' gives Haru Glory's sword power but to defeat the evil ShadowGuards will require four 'Rave Stones' which have been scattered all across the world like the shards of the Shi Kon no Tama in IY and the spell fragments on TWHE not to mention DragonBalls!)

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.

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:

12:00AM to 1:00 AM Bleach (2 eppys)

1:00 AM to 1:30 AM Morabito (Spearwoman protects prince)

1:30 AM to 2:00 AM Star Wars the Clone Wars (Geo Lucas does it again folks!)

2:00 AM to 2:30 AM Code Geass (Just restarted. Must be seen to be appreciated)

2:30 AM to 3:00 AM Fullmetal Alchemist

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 Cowboy Bebop

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!)

Sad to see Naruto eliminated in favour of Ben 10 Alien Force which dominates Saturday evenings on CN. It follows Total Drama Island and 6Teen which is about teens in a shopping mall. Now Ben 10 has been replaced with reality TV shows and Total Drama Island the animated Survivour series.

Before I forget we just watched Mallrats which is a Jay & Silent Bob teen comedy filmed in a New Jersey shopping mall. Jason Lee (Dave Seville in Chipmunks flick) played a comic fanatic and the special guest star was Stan Lee himself. If you saw Fantastic 4- Rise of the Silver Surfer you may have caught a cameo of him as one of the wedding guests at the Reed Richards/Sue Storm nuptials. In Mallrats he was an integral character. Stan was signing comics at the mall and helped out Jason with a few problems. Don't miss this flick or Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back when the goofs come to Hollywood. Cameos by Mark Hamill (Luke Skywalker) and Carrie Fisher (Princess Leia). He's a supervillain (natch- he voices 'em everywhere) and she's a nun (go figure eh?)

Anyhow Showtime is where we saw 'em- Showtime at COD.

A couple of Code Geass crossovers in this week's eppys. Two of the new 'Nightmares' (like Gundams) have unusual names: 'Guren' (as in 'Guren Lagann' the BGR anime series above) and 'Zangetsu' (as in the name of Ichigo Kurosaki's 'zampatou' sword in 'Bleach'. His has the voice of Richard Epcar who also voices the last of the Bounts- Kouga)

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?

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?

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!

Another Bleach note- why does Aizen want Orihime kidnapped? What or who is the hojioque 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!

Happy birthday to Tom Kenney who voices one of the autobots in the new Transformers flick. He's the narrator for the StarWars/CloneWars animated series on AS too.

I am now reading Umberto Eco's classic novel Foucault's Pendulum which is all about the Knights Templar and the Grand Plan and the Philosopher's Stone and other heavy stuff like that. It's a great book and might make a great film if Hollywood ever wises up. It's a bit of a wordy read and calls for an understanding of world history and a smattering of mythology and stuff but it is well worth it. Eco wrote that marvelous book Name of the Rose which became a film starring Sean '007' Connery as a monk detective. Latest book I've read is Nathaniel Hawthorne's Tanglewood Tales which is a different retelling of Greek mythology. He even calls Mercury (Hermes) the gods' messenger Quicksilver. That was also the name of one of the X-Men villains and was voiced by Richard Ian Cox. Any suggestions for my next reading quest?

I like puzzles, quests, treasure hunts and the like. I have had my fill of mysteries though.

Mama is reading The Magic Labyrinthe which I have covered in the blogs and messages. In September I will be getting The Lost Symbol- Dan Brown's newest novel. Not much info on that book yet though.

Am currently reading a Farmer novel- Other Log of Phileas Fogg and it's like something outta Dr Who! There's a 'distorter' which works like a beam transporter only forget about sneaky moves with it! When it activates it bongs loudly many times at both ends! Seems Terra has two ancient alien races- Capellians and Eridaeneans- who live about a millenia each unless they get killed. They wage a constant war on each other to remake Terra into Utopia (Eridaeneans) or ruin it and rule it (Capellians). Fogg and Passepartout and Ayouda are Eris but Fix and Nemo are Caps. Somehow or other Fogg's trip around the globe is no mere bet but a race to save Earth! Anyone who has read it and/or the Riverworld sagas may comment if they wish.

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.

I will leave you with this. I invite everyone to visit the Forums in SciFi.com (syfy.com after 7 July) under AniMondays/RaveMaster and read all about my newest fave anime series- the Rave Master. I burned the RM OT 'Rave-olution' by Reel Big Fish for Mama for Mom's Day and she has not stopped playing that CD since then. She adores it and she loves RM and Gundam 00 which precedes it on Mondays AniMondays on SciFi (now SYFY) Channel.

Bobby's fave on the History Channel 'Ice Road Truckers' returns on 31 May and 27 September Mama's fave Dexter returns to Sundays on Showtime. When will my Angels ever return- who knows? Maybe I'll watch them tonight- nai Nora Roberts' Blue Smoke is on OnDemand. It's the female version of Ron Howard's Backdraft albeit it is set in Baltimore MD rather than Pittsburgh PA. It's all about a gal who becomes an arson investigator and features Scott Bakula (Cpt Jonathan Archer of the Enerprise) in Bobby DeNiro's Backdraft role as senior arson squad leader and Caterina's boss. Reena is Alice Witt reprising the Backdraft role played by Alec Baldwin if I remember aright.

By the way Discover Channel (Ch 64 on Comcast) has dropped (at least for now) Josh Bernstein's Into the Unknown series from their lineup. Josh was on a morning TV talk show this past Wednesday and he may be returning to the History Channel soon. A shame to lose his show since good archaeological shows are few and far between these days. I grew up with Bold Venture and Marlin Perkins' Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom as well as the Wonderful World of Walt Disney. Today's Disney crap would make Walt upchuck! Imagine showing stuff unsuitable for the entire family on network TV in prime time!

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.

Just finished reading Philip Jose Farmer's climactic ending novel to his Riverworld series- The Magic Labyrinthe and boy is it cool! Doesn't make too much sense if you haven't read the other Riverworld books though. SciFi showed a made for TV Riverworld movie some time ago but it didn't do the books justice at all. The three key characters are all from history: Sam (Mark Twain) Clemens, King (f. Prince) John of Robin Hood lore and Sir Richard Burton the great explorer who searched for the Nile's source (not to be confused with the actor of the same name). Wikipedia has a pretty decent synopses of Farmer's Riverworld sagas if anyone is interested.

Looks like COD has some good movie fare this month. Here are just a few:

Angel Unchained; Army of Darkness; Evil Dead 2; Haunted; Haunting of Julia; Candyman (Don't miss Tony Todd in the new Transformers flick); Dracula (Gary Oldman); Mindwarp (w/ Angus 'Phantasm' Scrimm); Waxworks and Waxworks 2; Wishmaster and Wishmaster 3 and 4; Buffy the Vampire Slayer; X Files and X Men; Devour and Fly Me to the Moon (Houseflies on Apollo rocket). Go ahead. Give 'em a whirl. Gotta go now.

Almost forgot Planet of the Apes and Beneath the Planet of the Apes- both classics!

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?

I have now posted up to and including Ch 56 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!

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

AngelWings Ch 56 'Nova Hellsing Returns'/'Change of Plans'

Angel Wings

Ch 56

'Nova Hellsing Returns'/'Change of Plans'

Here's that pix from last post again. Hint- she stole a 3WA ship when she quit the 3WA.

OK This is Lily (Langtry) who was Kei and Yuri's temporary partner during the Waldess incident in DP Flash/Act I. She only wanted to think about dating and her fashions and was no use whatsoever on the case. In fact she got taken hostage by one of the perps! She soon tired of the 3WA and quit taking one of their cruisers with her! In Xmas and Wings I made her Ella Hathway's new rookie trainee after she repeated at the Academy I should add. Was she any good? Ella had no complaints.

Now here's the mystery pix for this post. Hint- DPF/Act III/Winners in Summer Colours/he made life a living Hell for our duo especially Yuri!
Look familiar? Yuri loathed him and hated this assignment and they got him back at the end too!

Wow! Kei's been injured and now that worst of all combat weapons is in Zorin's cronies' hands- Gundams! Almost as terrifying as the 'God Guns' or the Angels' new toy- the r-- whoops! I almost let the neko outta the sack folks! This chapter will put two close tomos at loggerheads with each other and nai it ain't Vacuumhead and Firebrand either! Some old tomos return and the Boss decides to go to ?

ANGEL WINGS

DISCLAIMER: OK ‘Dynamo’ 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 56 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 56

'The Nova Hellsing Returns' or 'Change of Plans'

Mar glanced at Nami's PDO and all at once her face brightened.

"Crap! How did I ever forget that? The 'Adonis Arch'! Gene? Doesn't that come out somewhere near 'Shalimar Crossing'?" she asked eagerly.

"Even better than that Contessa. The 'Arch' comes out at--" drawled Han Solo.

"The 'Seretai Slide'!" cried Gene Starwind, Villa and Jimbo Hawking together.

"You got it. That'll shave an entire solar day off ou jaunt to 'Romulus'." drawled Han.

"It'll take us to the other sie of 'Remus', love." explained Villa when Kome lookd confused.

Hurriedly Mar tapped a fresh set of coordinates into Nami's PDO while Gene and Han looked on.

"There. That is the fastest route I know to 'Adonis'. Input these into the nav comp, Nami. (Nami disappeared into the nav room) Let's get going, Cap. I may as well use this ready room as my command centre. Han, the bridge comm is all yours. Get this ship to 'Romulus' with all possible speed. Dismissed." said the blone with finality and she sat down at the conference table.

Kome was already seated at the desk before the hitherto unseen firing controls for the dreaded 'railguns'. Kei had gone to check out their new 'toy'- the 'railgun'.

"Shit! She's like a kid in a candy store whenver she finds out about a new weapon." said Mar with a grin.

"Yup. She's a lot like 'Kitten' in tht regard, ma'am." agreed Rally 'Cat' Vincent. Suddenly Mar felt the hairs prickle on the nape of her neck. Then she relaxed and pointed.

"The apples are down the hallway in the break room, Ryuuk." she said.

"Much obliged, Blondie." replied the horrifying death god who was hovering behind the blonde. He flew off in search of his 'apple fix'.

Next door Gene had just set the 'LA2' on 'George' and turned to face Solo who was standing behind his chair.

"Something on your mind, old buddy?" drawled Han.

"Yeah pirate I was just wondering where the Hell Reds sent my 'Star', who has her and why?" replied Starwind.

"Dunno any of those answers partner. Sorry." drawled the ex-smuggler. The squawk box suddenly came to life.

"Legato's got the 'Outlaw Star' and a team of fighters went along with him. Their mission is to locate Thrawn and Dooku's armada and get their fleet to chase the 'Star' back to 'Remus' sort of like a decoy, Cap. That's why we have to get to 'Remus' ourselves- fast. Zack Zero's 'Liberator' and the 'Black Knights' are headed on an intercept course from the opposite direction. If all goes as planned we'll have those raiders in a crossfire. Reinforcements have been dispatched to both 'Romulus' and 'Remus' by the 'ISSP' ('Inter Solar Systems Police') and the 'Galactic High Command' so you guys just concentrate on getting us to our rendezvous point as quickly as you can. Steady as she goes, boyos. If you see Villa, send him in here. I need him to explain about 'railguns' to Nat and Kome's crew. He told Nami he'd used 'em before on your ship, Gene. Keep me posted and advise me when we reach the 'Arch'. Angel out." said Mar tossing down her PA mike.

"Villa should be here soon and he'll show you how to use those things, kids." she said and went back to studying the vid manuals for the Mark XXXII long rang ion cannon. And eleven levels below them--

"Holy Mother of Christ! Will ya look at that bloody thing! I could swear it don't show up anywhere on my 'Angel's schematics!" cried Kei while she stared upwards at a gigantic pair of gleaming white Kelvinite cylinders. The Boss was standing on a catwalk above SubLevel Three. From there the huge monstrosities stretched all the way up the ship's atrium to Surface Level Nine and all the way down to the very bottom of the ship.

"Maybe they were left off the blueprint diagrams on purpose, Miss Hellfire. Their range must be awesome. (Villa pointed below them) See those extra dual afterburners? (Kei squinted and nodded) I'll lay even money on those being the back blast exhaust ports of those things. Their backblasts must be pretty close to forty K (thousand) kilos (kilometres. A kilometre is close to three-quarters of a mile so you do the math) Better keep this ship a full hundred K kilos ahead of the rest of the convoy unless your bosses are fond of fricaseed space cruisers, mum." said Villa who was Gene's gunner on the 'Star'. Temporarily he had Lt Nat's job as bridge weapons officer. He pointed upwards to Surface Level Four far above them.

"See that massive anti-grav trolley and its crane system up there, love? (The redhead frowned and nodded again) That must be the loader assembly so those hatches must be the breech portals. Hey! Is that crosscorridor up on Six oro the Hell I think it is, Miss Hellfire?" breathed Villa in awe.

"Yeah. That's the 'God Gun', me old boyo. I take it these beauties (she pointed to the cylinders) are my 'railguns'?" asked the Boss.

"That they are, Miss Hellfire but I never saw any of this size before." replied Villa. Something inside his jacket chirped and he reached inside for his comlink pen. None of the men aboard used comlink earrings not even the pirates).

"Yeah? Villa here. Oro? Right-o. Be there in half a mo, mate. Villa out." he trilled and saluted the redhead beside him who of course ignored the salute.

"Gott go, kid. Duty calls. The Contessa (Brigadier) needs me topside stat." he said.

"Off you go then and thanks for the tour, Villa. Catch ya later, kiddo." replied Kei. Villa grinned and double-timed over to the lift. Kei decided to climb the long spiral gantryway stairs to Surface Level Four. She wanted a close-up gander at a 'railgun' shell.

"Holy shit! Each one must be half the length of the ship itself! A salvo (eight rounds) of these babies along with our two Gundams should do the trick nicely! Dooku and Thrawn- hang onto your asses! We're a-comin' for ya!" she shouted.

"Boss Reds? Everything OK down there, ma'am?" shouted Goat Smith from the balcony on Level Seven.

"Yeah. Just fine and dandy, Goat. Sorry if I startled ya, boyo. Is the dip-- Wing Commander with you?" yelled the redhead through her cupped hands. Apparently she'd forgotten her comlinks were on her ears and Goat had forgotten his was in his pocket.

"That's a negatory, Boss Reds. She's in the star room watching out for the bad guys." shouted Smith from above.

"I'm going back to my quarters. Ask the Brigadier to meet me there tout sweet onegai (please)." yelled Kei.

"Roger and willco, ma'am. Consider it done." cried Goat and he left to find the blonde.

Several levels down in the docking bays a 'death warmed over' dude who could rival Ryuuk for 'ugliest thing of the year' award looked on curiously.

"Why the Hell do we all have to have these comlink things, Police Girl? Jersey Smith and the Red Demon don't seem to either use or need them." observed Alucard.

He and Vicky were prepping the 'Nova Hellsing' for flight. Seras 'Police Girl' Victoria wiped a greasy hand across her forehead and stood up. Her flight suit coveralls were filthy with grease and muck.

"Nothing that woman does seems to make any sense, Master. (She raised her voice and shouted up the companionway) Try firing up the warp core now, Walter. I've tightened up all the connections down here so it should work." she told her 'stand-in' pilot.

"Captain?" trilled a husky female voice.

"Yes? Oro is it, Integra?" trilled Vicky.

Usually Sir Integra Winifred Van Helsing was both Vicky and Al's boss at 'Hellsing Group' but that was back on Terra. Kei had long since promoted Vicky to Captain and given her command of a captured 'Zenobian' star cruiser which Vicky had promptly christened the 'Nova Hellsing' and chosen her vampire 'Master' Alucard as her executive officer.

Walter who was 'Hellsing's manager she made her gunner and Integra had been placed in charge of communications. The two 'Jersey Jerks' Jamie Wilson and Goat Smith she had reluctantly accepted as cooks. Big Spike Miroku was her security chief and the 'Gung Ho Gun' from 'Gunsmoke' Dominique the Cyclops had become her navigator. Engineering was another matter entirely.

Donnatella and Cyborg along with Blackfire and Raven had all been assigned to other ships. Neko Olson had been tapped by the 'Deadly Dynamic Duo' for a special secret mission (Gundam pilot) so Junpei the big hunter of elves had been made her chief engineer. Genie the tall swordswoman treasure seeker and 'Stun Gun' Milly Thompson from 'Gunsmoke' were his assistants. Her pilot had been Legato Bluesummers with Han Solo as co-pilot but the Contessa Brigadier had already grabbed them for other duties so Walter was the ship's temporary pilot. So far he had no co-pilot.

"Sorry Miss Victoria but the motors will not start." trilled an apologetic Walter.

"Oro the Fxxx is wrong with this piece of God-forsaken shit!" yelled the svelte captain angrily.

"Captain! I really must ask you to watch your language, Police Girl. You used the forbidden word again." scolded Alucard.

"Sorry Master. Junpei! You're the chief engineer! Oro the Hell's wrong with my ship?" demanded Vicky.

"How the Hell should I know, girl! I only know how to fix tanks! I sure wish Ryosko was here! That kid can fix anything! Yo! Fatass! Did ya get the power working yet? The Vampire Queen's bitching that her radios ain't working!" shouted Junpei.

"Hey! Brunhilda! Ya figure out why we can't get this piece of junk to work yet?" yelled the elf hunter.

"Junpei! Stop insulting Genie and Milly! They are both doing their best. They don't know anything more about these beasts than you do." said a small puppy dog in Starfire's arms.

"Sorry Lady Celsia. I apologize but dammit all I'm a mechanic not an engineer! Milly! Try beatin' on that grey thing up there with a hammer!" suggested the chief engineer.

"Don't do that! You'll blow up the blasted ship!" howled Starfire's companion a three metres tall raptor- a Triceraton named Dynamo.

He grabbed Milly's just before she struck the ship's dilythium converter catalyst.

"Oro seems to be the problem here, kiddies?" he growled.

"The Queen of Mean up there keeps bitching her power's too damned low to run her toys and this crappy bucket of bolts won't start, Mr Dynamo!" complained Junpei.

The huge dinosaur-like alien glanced at the gauge beneath the catalyst and chuckled.

"You're out of fuel, boy!" he growled.

"Dilythium crystals?" asked Integra who'd come down to see why her power had just totally conked out. She stuck a cigar in hermout and went to light it when--

"Yes and they are highly explosive Lieutenant Van Helsing so no smoking down here!" yelled Dynamo.

"That explains why the ship is not yet running. Why don't I have any power for my vidcomm systems?" she asked.

"Same reason, ma'am. Your power comes from that same fuel. Somebody go get some fuel cells from the supply room." ordered the raptor.

"I will get them, sir!" squealed Starfire excitedly.

"Don't go in the supply room without a hard suit!" called Walter from the companionway.

The tall violet-maned Tamaranian girl yanked open the door of the air-tight chamber and went inside. Naturally as with all air-tight chambers the portal sealed shut behind her. Sensing a new contaminant (Starfire) in the anti-matter field the automatic sensors sprayed the chamber with 'Thoron' a toxic acidic gas.

Had Star been human she would already be dead. Her Tamaranian metabolism saved her from the toxicity but not the acid. It did not effect her body, however, her clothing immediately disintegarated trapping a suddenly au natural Starfire inside!

"Oh Christ! Rangiku! Flood the fuel supply room with 'Nalcyon' quickly!" cried Vicky.

Rangiku was the 'Nova Hellsing's personal 'CC' computer program. She speedily complied with Vicky's orders and the 'Nalcyon' countered the 'Thoron' allowing Dynamo to unseal the chamber door.

He then hit the release panel but nothing happened. He frowned and tried again and again. Still nothing. He tried forcing it open but the portal still held. Vicky started to worry.

"Starfire? We cannot get the door open so I'm sending for help. Don't worry, we'll soon have you out of there." soothd Vicky.

"I know you cannot open this door and I know why, Auntie Vicky!" sobbed a distraught Starfire.

"Oro? Why?" asked a confused Dynamo.

"Because I am holding the door shut and I am a lot stronger than I look, sir." blubbered the tall Tamaranian.

"You stupid dumbass birdbrain! Why are ya doing that dammit? Let Dynamo open up the damned door!" roared Junpei.

"I'm sorry, Mr Junpei, sir but I cannot do that! I don't have any clothes on!" shreiked Starfire.

"The acid in the 'Thoron'. Of course, the acid. It disintegrated her clothing but not her body. A Tam's metabolism is different from a human's." explained Dynamo.

"Honey? There should be a locker in there with a flight suit and some deck boots. Go and look." said Vicky.

"I cannot, Auntie Vicky! If I let go of it the door will be open and all of you will see me in my birthday suit!" she whimpered.

"Nobody's going to see you, Star. I have locked the door again out here so it won't open until I unlock it again and I won't do that until you say you're ready. OK?" coaxed Vicky.

"OK. I'll go and look, Auntie. (A few minutes passed) There's a diving suit and a helmet ( a deep space hard suit) in here, Auntie Vicky but nothing else at all!" sobbed Star.

"Fine. Just climb into that suit. You don't need the helmet, dear. Just the hard suit." said Vicky.

A few minutes later Starfire told Vicky she was ready and at a nod from the captain Dynamo unlocked and released the door. Vicky pulled it open and Starfire collapsed into her arms. She and Junpei assisted the girl to a table and sat her down on it.

"She can barely move in this thing and it's crushing her! Integra, go rep up some clothes for her. Starfire? Auntie Integra's gone to get you some clothes. We'll help you out of this thing in the ladies' room when she comes back, Honey. Then you can get changed." said Seras Victoria.

Integra returned a dumped a load of clothing on the table.

"Here. I hope Rangiku got Star's sizes right. I repped up a schoolkid's uniform, socks, shoes and underwear." explained Integra.

With Milly and Genie helping Vicky got Starfire into the restroom and out of the hard suit. Starfire, however, insisted on getting dressed in the shower room. She returned a few minutes later blushing a little.

"I have gotten so used to pants that a skirt somehow makes me seem only half dressed." said Star.

"Go grab Lady Celsia (the 'puppy dog' was in reality an elven queen who had accidentally trapped herself in that shape with her own spell), go back to your own room and wear whatever the Hell you want." said a thoroughly exasperated Vicky.

She hated playing babysitter yet that was the job she had usually gotten stuck with before her promotion.

"Genie, get into a hard suit and anti-grav boots and get some 'dy' cells for us. Dynamo will show you how to load them into the catalyst." ordered the svelte captain.

An hour later with a fully loaded fuel catalyst and a fully charged-up power system Walter fired up the warp core and powerd up the main thruster units. The 'Nova Hellsing' pulsed with light and energy like a living thing.

"Success, Madam Captain!" cried the usually morose and taciturn vampire hunters' manager and accountant. Walter was a vampire slayer in his own right as well.

"Wonderful! Now can we eat? I'm starving to death for that tasty brunette who served us at lunch." chortled Alucard. Vicky was cross with him.

"Now Master, you know that Boss Reds has had fresh blood repped up for us ever since we joined forces with the 3WA and we took a solemn vow, an oath not to harm any humans, didn't we? Besides if you sated yourself on little Makoto who would serve us dinner?" replied Vicky.

Genie, Junpei, Milly and even Dynamo were in shock!

"Are you two really vampires? I always thought they were just kids' fairy tales." asked Genie.

"Master Alucard and myelf are truly of the undead, Genie. We must have human blood in order to exist, my dear. You need not worry though because as you just heard we have both sworn a sacred pledge not to harm anyone while we serve the 3WA. Since our 'Nova Hellsing' seems to be in working order shall we all go up to dinner? As soon as I get cleaned up that is. Ladies? We will meet you gentlemen upstairs. Please escort Starfire and Lady Celsia back to their quarters, Dynamo. Please tell Integra that Master and I will see her at dinner. You may go with them, Walter. You too Master. Sayonara." replied Vicky.

"Come in Mar. It's open. called Kei when her door klaxon chimed. The portals swished aside to admit the blonde commander.

"You wanted to see me, Boss? Oro's the problem this time?" asked Mar.

Kei waved her to a chair. Mar sat and accepted a mug of hot java from her superior. Kei was still in her dusty 3WA sweats and boots. She really looked like she'd been through the wringer. Actually she had gotten filthy climbing around looking at the 'railguns' with Villa.

"Man! You look like shit, kiddo!" oberved the blonde stifling a giggle.

"I know. Charlie's relay calls tend to do that to me Marlene. Uh listen. How big of a problem would it be to uh turn the ship around?" asked the redhead nonchalantly.

END of Ch 56. Ch 57 'Angel for the Angels?' or 'On to Onsokamaru?' 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

This next one may be lengthy. Sorry.- K&K

Here's one more pix for ya-

Here is Alucard from Hellsing with his Vampireizer gun! Dirty Harry's green with envy! Somehow this guy always reminds me of Bleach's Kiske. There's another pix showing his face a bit clearer at the top of this post.

I definitely see a Kiske resemblance here! Don't ya just love anime weapons? He's awesomely gross but I still say 'Ugly of the Year' award goes to DN's Ryuuk the Shinigami death god! Any others? Aug 09 COD Guide follows this post. Sayonara tomos all!

AW Ch 55 'Diplomatic Immunity' or 'Do Ya Feel Lucky?

Meet Nammo (right) the lil machine R2D2 that keeps the LA2's systems running smoothly.

Meet Mugghi in her kitten form. This huge almost 7 foot tall nekomata that has been genetically engineered sometimes is responsible for keeping the LA2 in motion with Nammo's assistance of course. Mugghi is a very capable pilot and gunner. Each of the two Angels has one of each. Soon there will be another pair of Mugghi/Nammos. One set for the LA1 (Yuri's ship), one for the LA2 (Kei's ship) and one for the brand new LA3 (To be Marlene Angel and Kome Sawaguchi's ship very soon). Thought you'd like to see what they looked like. I couldn't find a pix for Mugghi in her normal sized form. She's a bit like Kirara in that she can shape shift. So can Neko Olson but she hardly ever does. Like Yoruichi on Bleach who now seems to prefer her human 'gigai' form to that of the neko she was when we first encountered him/her. Yoruichi is a female human but a male cat- go figure eh?

CHAPTER 55

'Diplomatic Immunity' or 'Do Ya Feel Lucky?'

The dwarf was still cringing in fear of the blonde's repercussions.

"Sorry I stole that stuff from you, Lady Marley and I won't never do it again! I swear it!" apologized Odo but Mar could have cared less at that point.

"Fine. Apology accepted. It's all forgotten, Odo. Now answer me! Please! Where did you see these things and when?" demanded Mar eagerly.

"Tell her dammit!" cried Rebecca boxing his ears.

"In the back of the caverns. It was yesterday, Milady." he replied.

"Show us where, Odo. Bring him along, Ryuuk." ordered the blonde.

"You show Blondie where those metal suit things are that you saw, my lil tomo or I'll have Light write 'your' name in my book." promised the shinigami with a growl.

"Well I think I know where I saw 'em, Becky--" began the dwarf and Rebecca drew her dagger.

"Think real hard, Odo or should we get Ivanhoe to ask you?" she said and pointed the dagger at him.

The dwarf cringed.

"Oh yeah! Now I remember!" replied Odo and he rapidly whispered directions to Rebecca who noted the coordinates from his explanation into her PDO and showed them to Marlene who nodded.

By that time they had arrived at the transporter room on Level Seven.

"Hi there guys. Hullo mum. Going somewhere?" asked Elf Huntress Ari who was today's transport officer.

Mar returned Ari's salute and smiled.

"Please beam me, Rebecca, Odo and Ryuuk to those coordinates (Rebecca handed over her PDO to Ari) in the rear of these caverns. Ryuuk, put Odo on on that pad. Rebecca, on the one beside Odo. Ryuuk, stand behind him and I'll stand behind Rebecca. All set? OK Ari- energize." ordered the blonde and all four of them vanished and immediately rematerialized in the caverns.

Odo glanced around.

"Up this corridor and past that big hunk of rock, Milady- I think. (Rebecca scowled at him and idly fingered her blade) There should be a side alcove back there and it's just chocked full of all kinds of junk and crap. Those metal thingies in Lady Marley's book things are back there too." mumbled the dwarf. Mar was ecstatic to put it mildly.

"Do you guys know oro the Hell this means? (Blank stares all around and a grin from the shinigami) We've got him! (More confused looks and Ryuuk chuckled) Oakenshield! He's ours! Zorin's such a maniac he's gonna insist on seeing those two Gundams for himself! He'll come here and we'll grab him and his merry band of lunatics as well!" she yelled triumphantly.

Odo was not quite so sure as she and decided to tell her.

"Lady Marley? Won't Mr Oakie simply have those things delivered to him the same way we were just delivered here?" pointed out the dwarf and Mar's face fell.

"Of course he will. Good point though Odo. Ryuuk? Can you make it back to the ship on your own?" asked the blonde.

Ryuuk appeared insulted.

"Sure Blondie. Why?" he replied.

"Go back there and tell Miss Ari to beam us and everything around us in a twenty metre radius back there. Tell her to energize in (Mar glanced at her writstchromo and calculated) five minutes. Go!" she commanded and Ryuuk split.

The trio ran to the alcove. Rebecca resheathed her dagger and did a double take.

"Holy shit! Oro the Hell are those things, mum? Are they- Gundams?" she breathed in awe and Mar nodded grimly.

"That they are, Becky. That they most certainly are." she whispered.

"Lemme borrow this thing, Becky." said Odo and he yanked out her dagger.

"Hey!" squealed Rebecca and then she relaxed when she saw he only wanted the dagger to tap on a Gundam's 'chest'.

"Sounds hollow to me. Wonder if there's anything inside of 'em?" he asked.

"Or anyone. Let's find out. Stand back." said Marlene and she drew her Mark XII disruptor blaster pistol and charged it. Then she fired three times into the nearest Gundam's blast shield face plate.

In that confined space the roars were deafening. There was no reaction to her trio of energy bolts so Mar cautiously approached the Gundam. Then she activated the locking mechanism and leaped back as a small drawbridge lowered itself- the access ramp. A quick peep inside assured her the Gundam was as empty as Edward Elric's brother Alphonse's suit of armour.

"OK Odo. You and Becky get inside this one and I'll take the other one. Quickly now so Ari can beam us and these things back to the ship. We only have (Mar squinted at her wristchromo) Christ! Thirty seconds so move your asses!" ordered the tall blonde.

Odo peered warily inside the 'monster' and Becky botted him the rest of the way in before clambering in herself. Mar wasted no time in hopping into the other Gundam.

"Hit that yellow panel above your head, Becky. That's the ramp release control. Only a few seconds left now." called Mar and Becky complied.

The ramp snapped shut and the Gundam was sealed. Mar managed to seal her Gundam just in the nick of time.

Suddenly without warning both Leviathan armoured units shimmered and vanished only to reappear instantly on the 'LA2's transporter pads. As soon as Ari saw them she grabbed a plasma rifle and levelled it at the gigantic behemoths.

She drew a big sigh of relief, however, when Odo jumped out of one of them and kissed the deck floor. Rebecca emerged behind Odo and Mar scrambled down from the other Gundam.

"They're Gundams, Ari. Old Zorin won't be using these two beauties anytime soon." chuckled the blonde and then she raised her voice.

"Harley? It's me- Angel. I need you to send four security teams to the transporter bays on Seven stat. Why? Because we are gonna bag us an Oakenshield, that's why. Odo located Oakie's two Gundams in the deepest recesses of the caverns and we have them both stowed away safely aboard. Z.O. will probably insist on taking possession of them personally ("Aye lassie! That he will!" interrupted Harlock) so we'll grab him and his playmates when they show up on 'XANA' to take delivery. Angel out." trilled a satisfied Mar.

The teams were duly dispatched with Lord Ivanhoe in command. Less than three hours later a score (twenty) of Oakenshield's 'Elite Guard' were cooling their heels in the brig while Zorin himself was being interrogated upstairs in the ready room.

He was livid with rage and acting like he was the injured innocent bystander.

"There must be some mistake here, Ladies. You cannot arrest me, Madam Marshall, Madam Brigadier! I have diplomatic immunity! I am Zorin Ryan Oakenshield, Ruler of 'Romulus' and 'Remus' and I hereby order you to--" he cried out indignantly.

The Boss stared at him coolly, lit a cheroot and pointed its tip at him.

"Ruler of 'Rom' and 'Rem' eh? (He nodded defiantly) You got diplomatic immunity huh? (Again he nodded and smiled. Kei's face went dark) You got shit, little man! Under Galactic Law which you seem fond of quoting it clearly states that 'diplomatic immunity' only applies if your ass is actually sitting on a planet, world, moon or asteroid. Anywhere else and you're just a plain old run-of-the-mill felon- a common criminal! This is deep space and your ass is sitting on my starship so that means you are SOL- shit outta luck, tomo!" shouted the redheaded firebrand Hellcat.

Zorin began sliding his hand towards Rukia's holstered Mark XIII ion cannon. She was standing beside her prisoner flanked on the other side by Light Yagami and Ryuuk. Light noisily cleared his throat.

"So? You wanna try and outdraw me, Zorin? (Kei stood and stepped back from the table. Her fingers were poised just centimetres over her own holstered Mark XIII. It looked like the 'Gunfight at the OK Corral' back on ancient Terra) Go ahead, Oakie. Whenever ya feel lucky that is. Ya do feel lucky, don't ya, tomo? (Zorin began to sweat) Well? Do ya, punk?" said the Boss very menacingly and she stared right at the little dictator wannabe.

Slowly Zorin slid his hand away from Rukia's Mark and laid both hands flat on the table and smiled.

"Let's make us a deal, my dear child, shall we? (Gene, Han and Harlock exchanged amused glances. One thing you never ever did to an Angel was call her a child!) You allow me to escape and in return I will swear on my word of honour never to return to this galaxy in the future. (Kei scowled) My star cruiser is loaded to the gills with gold press Latinum bars. You can even have half of them into the bargain. I realize that you 'dogs of the military' (Kome instinctively felt her right cheek. She was remembering the stinging thwack she'd received from the redheaded Amazon when she had once saucily referred to her as 'Garner's lapdog'!) don't make that many credits you know. (If Kei's looks could kill Zorin Oakenshield would have been in 'Otherworld' by now!) Just look the other way, my love (Even Neko and Rukia snickered at that ill chosen remark!) and I swear that--" cajoled the oily Oakenshield but the Boss had had enough of him for one day.

"Stow it, you whiny toad! That Latinum was tolen from the good folks of 'Kalufrax', wasn't it? Well it's gonna go right back there to 'em! OK now you pay attention. (Kei cleared her throat) Zorin Ryan Oakenshield, I hereby place you under arrest larceny, gun running, illegal arms dealings, robbery, embezzlement of public funds, espionage, high treason, inciting a war, attempted homicide, murder (probably- Kei was covering all the bases), resisting arrest (Ichigo and Miroku rubbed their stomachs) and whatever the Hell else I can think of! Book him, Harley!" seethed the fuming redheaded Hellcat.

Zorin decided to open his big mouth.

"I have rights dammit! I claim sanctuary! I am an aristocrat! I have diplomatic immuni--" he shouted and then suddenly lunged for Rukia's Mark!

He had it half out of her holster when-- ZANG! CRACK!

"OW! Christ Almighty!" he screamed in agony and clutched his right shoulder. Blood seeped between his fingers from the graze wound caused by the bullet from Revy's 'Cutlass'.

"Damnation! That hurts like Hell! It burns dammit!" he howled.

"That's a bullet from a 'real' gun, stupid. Not a damned energy bolt or blast from a toy like theirs. You wanna try for two? (Zorin shook his head violently) Then you sit there and behave yourself like a good little boy. He's all yours, mum." said Suba (Subaltern) Revy Roberts, a smoking 'Beretta' in her fist. Kei bristled with fury and reholstered her own weapon.

"Mar, the man does have a point, don't ya think? He does have rights under Galactic Law so read 'em to him and get his ass the Fxxx outta here dammit!" she commanded and sat down again. The vidphone chirped and Rukia answered it.

"Hullo? This is Rukia. Huh? Yeah, just a sec, ma'am. Here, mum. It's for you. It's 'Cat' and she's got something on the scanners." said the soul reaper. Kei grabbed the vidphone from her.

"Yeah 'Cat'? Kei here. Oro ya got? Uh huh. Ya don't say? Well lemme think that over for a minute. I'll trill ya back, kid." she said and blanked the vidscreen.

Suddenly the PA system blared to life.

"A dozen fighters closing in fast, Boss! Oro are your orders dammit all!" shouted Rally's voice from the nav room. Kei smiled grimly and touched her comlink earrings.

"Tell Kome to vaporize the lot of 'em. Use the 'railguns' and that's an order dammit!" she trilled and Zorin Oakenshield paled.

"Call 'em off Zorin and I'll have Suba Sawaguchi stand down. Five seconds, tomo. One. Two. Three. Four. Fi--" she began counting and Zorin yelled.

"Shub Niggurath! Shub Niggurath! Did you hear me? Broadcast that on Band XLCV in the clear and they'll pull back! Just send it dammit! Please!" he whimpered and at a nod from the Boss Neko did.

Five minutes later six X-Wing fighters and six TIE (Twin Ion Engine) fighter and their pilots were in custody. As soon as a dejected Zorin Oakenshield had been escorted to a private brig Kome tapped Kei's shoulder.

"Boss Lady! He knew! He's seen or heard of 'railguns'! That's why he caved in and surrendered his troops to us!" cried the tall strawberry-blonde teenaged Terran girl worriedly. Kei was puzzled.

"So? He's heard of 'em? Who ain't? Oro of it? Oro difference does it make?" asked a perplexed redhead.

"Ever since you and the Wing Commander nuked that casino in space a few years ago haven't they been banned across the galaxy?" suggested Lt Cmdr Joey Bishop, a sometimes pilot but usually 'Starfleet' Captain Nerese's helmsman on the 'Coriander'. Jon, Gene, Han, 'Dynamo' and even Neko Olson started laughing.

"Oro the Hell's so frigging funny?" demanded the firebrand.

"Off the record, mum? (Kei fumed and nodded) We've been running 'railguns' for years. They're used as a deterrent rather than as an active weapon. Hell! Even Johnny Berringer had a couple on 'Starcrusher' but he never even uncrated the damned things! Mostly we load 'em up with empty shells fitted with dummy charges. To the best of my knowledge and recollection except for you two fire hazards nobody has even fired one. The threat to do so is usually more than enough to get ya oro ya want." explained Gene Starwind.

"However, if Oakbrain's got a few of 'em squirrelled away someplace we'd best find 'em, my Angels. Before somebody else does eh?" drawled Han Solo.

"Damned right we'd better! I can still remember oro the Hell this dipstick did to an entire space colony with just one of the damned things!" yelled 'Duchess' Yuri Donovan.

"Dammit to Hell, Vacuumhead! It wasn't my fault!" yelled Kei angrily.

"Are you trying to say it was my fault, you Airhead?" shouted Yuri.

"Shut up, Birdbrain!" yelled the Boss.

"I don't have to shut up, Dipstick! You shut up!" howled Yuri.

"Shut the Fxxx up- the pair of ya! If Zorin's already seen or at least heard of 'railguns' don't that mean that he might already have a few of 'em? And he sure as Hell won't be squeamish about using them- right?" yelled Nami Richards. Kei was very annoyed now.

"Did all of ya forget that the little megalomaniac's locked up in my brig downstairs?" growled the angry Hellcat.

"Oro about his two execs?" asked Nyssa innocently.

"Aye lads and lassies! Oro about Lord Dooku and Grand Admiral Thrawn? They're just as insane as Oakbrain indeed perhaps more so in fact!" roared Jonathan Harlock.

"One of 'em's probably leading the vanguard of the invasion force too." observed Rally 'Cat' Vincent quietly.

"Oro invasion force?" cried Brigadier Marlene Angel.

"The one we just picked up on scan. It's headed for 'Romulus' and it's huge- a few hundred at least." agreed Zoe Morton, the Plutonian navvie.

"Orders Marshall?" demanded a sarcastic Yuri.

"That's up to Brigadier Angel, kiddo. This is her ship for the mission's duration." replied the redhead.

Every pair of aizu (eyes) turned to the blonde.

"Dooku and Thrawn's expecting a tandem of Gundams, ain't they? Let's give 'em to 'em with Jon and Neko at their controls. How far's that fleet from 'Romulus' now?" asked Mar.

"Five days at the most, mum." answered Rally.

"How long before we reach 'Romulus', Cap?" asked the blonde of Starwind.

"Three days if I kick in the hyperdrives, Blondie." replied Gene.

"Oro's the next world those raiders will reach?" she asked. Nami spotted it on the vidcharts first.

"A moon- 'Aoyama', ma'am and they'll reach it in three more days." reported Nami.

"And we can be there in a day and a half- thirty-six solar hours, kiddo." advised Starwind.

"Make it so, Gene. No matter oro happens Dooku and Thrawn do not repeat not get past 'Aoyama', however, better have 'em evacuate 'Romulus' and 'Remus' just to play it safe. How soon can we get some back-up here, guys?" asked the svelte interim commander.

"Four days at least, love. Until then you are on your own, my dear." said Garner who along with Gooley and Gazelle was temporarily using 'Yars VI' for his HQ. They had used John Berringer's 'Balsa' shuttlecraft for the trip with Lt Kallen Steadfast of the 'Balack Knights' as their pilot. She had flown them from 'Alderaan' to 'Yars VI' right after Kei's shooting demonstrations had ended.

"Send us as many ships as you can possibly share,sir. We will try and hold them at 'Aoyama' until the reinforcements arrive. Angel out." said the calm, cool and collected no nonsense blonde Brigadier.

Then she began issuing crisp and efficient orders to her crew. When Mar finally finished the Boss gave a final order.

"Better prep the 'God Guns'- just in case." she intoned grimly and her face was solemn.

"Kiva? Can you and your crew see to those 'Kami' cannons for us? Arigaou (Thanks)." said Mar.

"Hey! Why Mr Harley and Miss 'Kitty Kat', Auntie Marlene? hy do they get to fly those Gundams? Why can't me and Caggie do it instead?" demanded a pouting Flay Allster while Cagalli Yula Athna stared at the ceiling.

"Hae ye two 'gossoons' (infants, children in Gaelic) ever even 'seen' a Gundam before let alone flown one? Well? Hae ye?" shouted Jon Harlock.

Both shook their heads.

"Well Jon and I have used them before and they ain't so easy to handle, kids." said Neko Olson.

Flaysie wanted to know oro a 'gossoon' was so Ed Elric told her. She fumed and whispered to Cagalli who just chuckled.

"Hey! Pirate dude! You can't call us babies darn it!" yelled a defiant Flay.

"Ye are babies to us ye know!" roared the pirate his patience at last exhausted.

"Go to Hell ya old geezer!" howled Flay. Thwack! Flay started to sob and rubbed her jaw which was already showing a red welt.

"You watch that mouth of yours, young lady! I do not want to hear that kind of language from you again! Edward! Edwrd Elric!" cried Pinato 'Granny' Rockabell.

"Brother? Are you in trouble again?" chortled Alphone Elric, Ed's younger brother who resembled one of Lord Falco's knights in armour.

"I didn't do nothing, Granny! Honest! Oro did I do, ma'am?" cried Ed.

"Bring me the soap, Edward! Alphonse! The strap please! Winry, come here! You are coming with me, young lady!" she cried grabbing Flaysie's ear and leading her away towards the restrooms.

Cagalli blocked her path.

"Fun's fun Gran but Flaysie's a big girl now. She's sorry for cussing so tae your damned hands off her dammit!" yelled Caggie.

Wham! A right hook from Winry Rockabell knocked her into the bulkhead wall.

"You can't talk to my grandmother like that you little bitch!" shreiked the angry blonde who towered over Athna. Sesshomaru seized her from behind and cuffed them both soundly.

"Bring both of 'em Mr Sess and follow me. We may need more soap." said Granny.

Nat and Zoe joined the group to accompany Granny, Caggie, Flaysie and Winry into the ladies' room while Ed, Al, Sess and Tracey Edwards waited in the corridor. Granny was almost ready to dole out the punishments and Ed and Al knew what that meant from bitter experiences as kids!

Inside the restroom Granny turned to Nat and Zoe.

"Down with their britches, ladies. Winry please assume the position. You know what to do." ordered Pinako quietly.

Winry nodded and obediently dropped her trousers and bent across a table while Granny administered the first part of her punishment for swearing. Then she shoved a bar of foul smelling soap into her opened mouth.

Both 'Archangelites' were in shock!

When Granny turned her back for a moment Winry yanked out the soap and whispered to Cag and Flay.

"Just do it girls. It'll be over with before ya know it. Soap's the worst part. Gran's not as strong as she used to be so the strap doesn't hurt like it used to back home." she suggested and then stuck the soap back in her mouth as Granny faced them again.

"No way in Hell am I--" screeched Flaysie and Zoe said "Yeah way." and she yanked down Flaysie's pants while Nat did the same thing to Caggie.

"It's for your own good, kids. Didn't Mommy ever teach you two any manners? You'll thank us for this one day ya know." intoned Lt Cmdr Nat as Granny applied the strap to their pantied bottoms- with vigour. Winry giggled. Then the other two got the 'soap banquet' as well.

Fifteen minutes later Caggie, Flaysie and Winry returned to the ready room- chastised, ashamed and sore all over but wiser. Cagalli had been appointed the trio's spokesman.

"We apologize for our behaviour, mum and we promise it will never happen again, Brigadier Angel." said Caggie with a very sharp salute. Mar returned the salute.

"See that it doesn't, Subbies." growled the blonde. Flaysie stifled a giggle.

"You made a teensy mistake there, ma'am. Caggie, Winry and me are all lieutenants." corrected Flaysie.

"Not anymore you aren't. The three of you are hereby demoted to Sub-Ensigns effective immediately. Furthermore you are all confined to quarters until I decide otherwise. Dismissed." replied Mar quietly.

The young trio looked dazed.

"Ye heard the orders did ye not? Ye be dismissed so scat!" rumbled Jonathan Harlock.

Winry stamped her foot, Cagalli saluted and Flaysie started bawlin again, however, scat they did.

Marlene sat down wearily.

"Now that that's all over with I will repeat my last order. Jon and Neko will pilot the Gundams. Kome and her crew will man the 'railguns' and Commander Villa will temporarily be in charge of the bridge weapons. I think our best course of action is for our gun crews to familiarize themselves with their new toys. Kiva and her gang will be in charge of prepping our 'God Guns' just in case the 'G Boys' decide we have to use the darn things. Does anyone have any other questions?" said Mar and Nami Richards pointed to a tunnel shaped vortex on her PDO's vid starchart.

"Oro is that thing, ma'am?" she asked wonderingly.

AngelWings Ch 54 'Honour Amongst Thieves'/'Dwarf Discovery'

Odo is a conartist of the first water for sure but he pales in comparison to this rapscallion whom the Flash Angels encountered several times. Meet Caldy the conman who 'swindled me (Kei) in Dantoonine!' In my ff's he gets around quite a bit and makes at least two appearances- once on 'Sontarra' and again on ? Sorry but that was early on in Angel Wings and I don't recall those circumstances at the moment but you are welcome to check on it. Caldy's first appearance was in DP Flash's Act II/World's Worlds arc/Steamy Hot Springs Romantic Tour only it was anything but romantic!

CHAPTER 54

‘Honour Amongst Thieves'or ‘The Dwarf's Discovery'

Meanwhile back down at Mar's pad Ryuuk (Light Yagami's death god shinigami) wanted some apples so he floated through Mar's closed door and into her living room.

"Excuse the intrusion Miss Angel but may I hve an apple or two onegai (please)?" asked the horrifying creature.

"Sure. Help yourself. They're in the fridge on the top--" replied Mar and then glanced up.

"Christ Almighty Ryuuk! You scared the shit outta me! I almost pissed my pants!" she yelled jumping up and falling over the coffee table. Ryuuk caught her before she crashed onto the glass-topped table.

"Nai (No) I don't think you pissed 'em my dear but may I say that you have quite a fashionable taste in undergarments? Very becoming, Milady. That azure shade of aoishi (blue) complements your aizu (eyes) perfectly." said the grinning shinigami.

"Oro the Hell are you babbling about, death god?" she demanded and then noticed that her uniform pants had fallen down around her ankles.

"You really need to use a belt my dear child. Then your trousers would stay up." laughed Ryuuk.

Mar's face turned crimson and she hastily yanked her pants back up.

"Belt? Fxxx! My belt's gone! And my jewelry, wallet and fanny pouch too! And--" howled the flustered blonde.

"And weren't you wearing a sweater under your blazer?" snickered Ryuuk.

"My turtlenck too? Dammit to Hell! Revy! Find Odo and bring that dwarf to me pronto! Revy? Respond dammit! Revy! (She touched her ears) Aw Hell! He stole them too? He was only in here for five minutes! Ryuuk, take your apples and go get Odo for me. He's with Rebecca!" cried the blonde who as a rule was usually calm, cool and collected.

"I hear and I obey, Milady." replied the shinigami and he vanished.

"Nope. I'm sorry, Lord Ryuuk but he hasn't shown up yet. Why do you want him anyway? (Ryuuk explained why to Rebcca who grimaced) Follow me. I've got a pretty good idea of where the Hell he is." said Rebecca and the death god hovered behind her while the red-headed healer/herbalist/warrior told the lift to take them to Level Eight.

When they got there she ran down the hall to Holo Room four and keyed the 'archway'.

"Hullo Odo, Randy. What have you got there? What the devil have you stolen this time, dwarf? Oh no you don't! Grab him Ryuuk! (One snatch and Ryuuk scooped up the small dwarf and tucked him under one arm. Rebecca addressed Randolph) If I were you, Sergeant I'd go back to the 'Castle' now. Odo's in some really deep shit!" seethed Rebecca.

Gerald Randolph vamoosed.

"Would you believe that I found all this stuff just sitting in the hallway and I was asking Randy to help me find its rightful owners and--" wheedled Odo and Rebecca shook her head.

"I find that very hard to believe, dwarf." she replied and yanked off her cloak.

"Take him back to Brigadier Angel, Ryuuk. I'll follow as soon as I've packed up Odo's haul. Thanks a lot." she said and began dumping handfuls of the loot onto her cloak.

"Whatever you say Milady Becca." replied the death god as off he flew off dragging the cringing dwarf with him.Rebecca sighed, finished tying the ends of her cloak together and tucked it under her arm like a parcel.

"You'll forgive if I don't get up boys because I seem to be missing a belt along with quite a few other things." said Mar when Ryuuk floated in with the dwarf. She'd replaced her purloined turtleneck with a grey 3WA sweatshirt, however, Rin and Ed had been given all of Mar's spare belts to clean and polish so Mar either had to remain seated or use her hands to hold up her pants when she stood up.

"Lady Becca's right behind us, Blondie. She's bringing this creature's swag back to you, Madam Brig." informed Ryuuk and Mar tossed him an apple. Holding onto Odo with one hand Ryuuk caught the apple with the other and munched away on it greedily.

"I do believe that you are missing some things, Brig? Here. You'll need this I'm sure." said Rebecca tossing the blonde her belt.

Mar thanked her and excused herself for a moment or two. She returned from her bedroom in less than five minutes but she no longer needed to hold her pants up.

"The rest of your belongings, mum." said Rebecca and she dumped the contents of her cloak on the coffee table.
