David J. Thompson (regretfully) presents: "And Now for Something Completely Stupid!!" Ch.4 "I Can't Think of Any other Titles that have 'Stupid' in Them" Just a little note for those who don't get the title: "And now for something completely stupid" is a play on words for the Monty Python phrase: "And now for something completely different" Anyway, on with the show!! ************************* "Garbonzo" said Uuplaku. Dave looked at the Anime god quizzically, as if expecting a joke or something. "This has got to be a joke or something" Dave retorted, not the least bit amused. "Who in their right mind would name themselves after a bean?" This clearly was getting weird. Then she remembered an episode of Sorcerer Hunters she had heard of but never seen. The main enemy's name was Croissant. She had laughed when she heard this, especially with his/her cohort, Bagel. This made her laugh harder. In Japanese class, she had come across the word Gohan, which meant rice. She immediately recognized this as the character from Dragon Ball Z, and again she laughed. Combined with the prefix Asa, Hiru, and Ban, these became Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner. The Japanese language was just one big laugh fest. Ah Japanese to Romaji translation was rife with difficulty, but it could be pulled off if you knew how. But at the time there were more pressing matters. Pressing matters like Uuplaku pressing Dave's pulse to feel if she was alive. The touch of the Kami brought Dave back from her Stereotypical-Anime pensive state, and back in to the real world (If you could call it that). Uuplaku whispered cautiously "Yo, you alive?" Dave shook her head a little to clear herself from her thoughts. "Yeah, I'm fine. But what's with this Garbonzo thing anyway? What does he have to do with this whole time space continuity thing? Dave asked. "What time space continuity thing? I didn't say anything about a time space continuity thing" Uuplaku answered. Suddenly, a large chunk of the plot fell onto the tatami, causing a great crash. Obviously, this was a sign that the plot was falling through. Both individuals stared at the plot until Uuplaku finally realized what had just happened. "Dammit!!" he said, visibly shaken. "Garbonzo is beginning to take the multiverse apart!!" "Eh?" again the quizzical look from Dave. "Well, I can see you can't quite comprehend what we Kami and Megami do up here, so I'll explain." ******************** (Anime Narrative scene here, bring your pillows) Up here in this realm, there is not just one, but many gods controlling each and every facet of the multiverse. In the multiverse, there are several bazillion realms, and in each realm there is something different. For example: I am in control of the Aniverse and all characters therein. The companies you know as AIC, Pioneer, Manga Anime etc. are merely just subsidiaries of my infinite will. So when you write out the copyright at the top of your fanfic, you are actually referring to me!! Everything Anime is controlled by myself. Everything from Dragon Ball to Tenchi Muyo to Muldiver to the obscure series "Boy!" In the Earth universe, the one you know as God is not actually in control there. The real "God" is actually Hawk Tomeo of Spokane, Washington. Although he does not know it, he controls the entire Earth universe, what you call "The real world" Each time something like a new, oh say, Comic Book series is created, a new universe is opened up. That's why there's a Superman-verse, a Tenchi-verse, and other assorted -verses. But, at the very top, holding all the fabric of reality together is one individual, Garbonzo. Garbonzo is a being of pure will, a will so strong that he can keep the very fabric of reality together with just his mind. His mind is that of courage, intelligence, and absolute power. Now the deal with Garbonzo is that he's been holding the fabric of reality together for an innumerable amount of years. After that long, even the strongest of minds begins to break down. Just like with what you call "Stress", overwork will cause people to go a little nutzoid every once in a while, and Garbonzo just reached critical mass. The plot falling out earlier was an example of that insanity. Garbonzo is losing his grip on reality, and so loses his grip on the fabric of reality. Garbonzo, being an immortal, cannot simply be killed, unfortunately. That's where you come in. (End Narrative sequence) ******************** Dave's ears were about to go numb by all the talk from Uuplaku, but after he finished, Dave breathed a sigh of relief. Dave stretched to ease her back from the long sit she had just endured. The only other time she had felt this way was after 5 hours of continuous Starcraft play. Her back was so sore that she couldn't sit down any more, so she shakily stood up. Feeling how much easier it was to stand, Dave made a long stretch backwards. Dave's shirt, being much to short for her tall, slender frame, was brought up across her stomach and into a very revealing view. Uuplaku's eyes widened immensely, and he lowered his head to get a better look. Dave, upon noticing this, immediately snapped back into a standing position, and planted a roundhouse kick firmly of the Kami's jaw. "Pervert" Getting back up with a very sore jaw, Uuplaku regained himself in his seiza position. His eyes twinkled merrily as he smiled, but then went back to a serious tone. Dave did not take heart in his merriment. Uuplaku spoke once again "But getting back to our original point, since I have brought you here, I also must assign you your mission" "Yeah yeah, kill Garbonzo, save the Universe. Crap like that, eh?" said Dave "Yes, something like that, but there's twist to it." Uuplaku smiled slightly. Dave replied, cautiously "A twist eh? What would it be then?" Uuplaku replied again "The thing is, being an immortal means Garbonzo cant be killed." "Well duh! You said that already!" Dave snapped back, her face a little flushed. "Well, there's another catch. Garbonzo is a being of immense will, and with immense will comes immense courage and confidence. He is the most courageous being in all the multiverse. He has absolutely no fear, not even a fear of death." Dave replied rather testily "So what does that have to do with me?" Uuplaku was getting rather annoyed at this foreigner, but he kept his anger in check and simply replied "Well, Garbonzo is a being of such immortal courage and confidence, that it would take a void of courage to defeat him. The person would have to be so utterly afraid of everything, that he would have that void. In defeating Garbonzo, his courage would be absorbed into the person, creating a living form of a god." Dave was annoyed that he was dancing around the point, but instead replied with a cool tone "So what position does that put me in?" Uuplaku said "Well, there's only 1 person in the entire Aniverse that even has a remote chance of stopping Garbonzo, Tenchi Masaki." "Uummmm, ok. Why didn't you call Tenchi here instead of me?" Uuplaku replied "Simple my dear, Tenchi just isn't wimpy ENOUGH to stop him. Only the son of one of truly wussy qualities and one of Earth can possibly stop Garbonzo." Dave was about to speak, but caught himself. As soon as he hear the word son, did he truly realize what the little Kami meant. It was all very clear now. A stutter emerged from Dave's lips, "Does.....that mean......I.....?" Uuplaku knew he would have to tell her this. As hard as it may be, it had to happen. He simply said, "Yes. In order to defeat Garbonzo, you MUST bear the son of Tenchi Masaki!!!" ********************* Uuplaku: Wow kids, wasn't that exciting?! Dave: 0_0;; Uuplaku: Whats'a matter Dave? You look a little glum. Dave: A little glum? A LITTLE GLUM?!!!!!!! HOLY FLYING FRAG!!!!! DO YOU REALIZE WHAT JUST HAPPENNED IN THIS STORY???!!!!!!! Uuplaku: Yeah, I told you that you had to save the Universe by having Tenchi's baby Dave: Ok, I am a guy, Tenchi is a....... Uuplaku: No you arent. You got your gender switched, remember? Dave: >_< IM NOT TALKING ABOUT THAT!!!! I WAS a guy!!!! I still have that 'Guy' mentality!! Uuplaku: Well dangit, give up that 'Guy' mentality and have fun girlfriend. Dave: ARGH!!!! Beside that, do you know how freaking hard its gonna be to get Tenchi to sleep with me in the first place?! Uuplaku: ................ I hadn't thought about that Dave: Great job smart one Uuplaku: Hey! Don't yell at me!! I didn't formulate your destiny!! Dave: ARGH!!! My hair got all messed up during that damn monologue of yours!! Now I'm gonna have to get it redone!! If this is permanent Im just going to have a FIT! Uuplaku: (Hmm, I think that 'Guy' mentality just went out the window. This might not be so hard after all!) ***************** Hey everyone, its the author!! I'd just like to thank all you people that e-mailed me with positive stuff about my work (All 2 of you!!)
