ANIME SURVIVOR PART 2 (first draft) by Cabbit Lover AUTHOR'S NOTE: The same notices as before: Tenchi Muyo! is owned by Pioneer. Sailor Moon is owned by DiC and is the brainchild of Naoko Takeuchi. Survivor is owned by CBS (I think), and Fist of the North Star is owned by Streamline Pictures (I think). The next three days... Ami Mizuno and Makoto Kino (as Sailors Mercury and Jupiter, respectively) were out searching for fresh water. "Damn rules," muttered Makoto. "Having to tone down the mini-Crystal Tokyo so we can't just have fresh water magically flowing through the fountains..." "Yeah," sighed Ami, "but like the hosts said, the name of the show is Survivor, not World Domination." She slipped on her VR goggles and started her search. "Searching for water sources...no...no...no...Yes! Oh, hell, it's contaminated..." "Why don't you just, I dunno, use your powers to purify the water?" asked Makoto. "Remember, the show is called Survivor, not..." Ami began to repeat. "SO THE IDEA IS TO *SURVIVE!!*" screamed an enraged Makoto. Then she calmed down and said, "Sorry, but the situation's getting desperate." Ami sighed, then said, "Okay, but if we get into trouble, remember, this was *your* idea." She then raised her arms. "Here goes...SHINE AQUA ILLUSION!!" The wave of water created by the Shine Aqua Illusion attack flowed into the polluted river, and true to Makoto's guess, purified it, turning it clear and blue. "We did it! Yay!!" squealed Makoto. Meanwhile, Sasami and Ryoko were on a similar quest for food, since the supplies were starting to run out. They had found an abandoned supermarket, and Ryoko noticed, "The lights are even on. That's lucky!" "Ryoko, wait!" cried Sasami. "I have a bad feeling about the place!" The "bad feeling", of course, was a combination of Sasami's own precognitive ability and telepathic warnings from Tsunami. As Ryoko walked into the supermarket, she heard a rough voice say, "Hello, sweetmeat." She turned to see a bald-headed thug dressed in motorcycle leathers and wielding a grappling hook. "Who are you?" Ryoko demanded. "The name's Rygar, toots," smiled the thug. "My gang runs this place. It's our personal food store, and I'm the, ah, Osecurity guard' here. You wanna eat, you gotta deal with me." Suddenly, Sailor Jupiter rushed in. "Hey, what's this?" she demanded upon seeing Rygar. "He calls himself Rygar," Ryoko introduced. "I think he's the next Immunity Challenge." "But the Immunity Challenge isn't for another two days," Jupiter pondered. Then she shrugged. "What the hell...So we gotta collect as much food as we can grab in three minutes, right?" "While avoiding *these* jerks, it would seem," concurred Ryoko. "Leave it to me," said Sailor Jupiter. "JUPITER...THUNDER..." Unfortunately, while Jupiter was just standing there, going through the Jupiter Thunder Crash sequence, Rygar whipped out his grappling hook. As it wrapped around Jupiter's body, she yelled, "Hey, no fair, you big jerk! You could at least have waited till I finished!" "What'd you expect me to do," snapped Rygar, "just stand there till you finished doing what you were doing?" "Damn, it works so well on yoma," grumbled Sailor Jupiter. "Oh, yoo-hoo, Rygar!" taunted Ryoko, who'd already gotten to a shopping cart. "While you're busy with *her,* what're you doing about *me?*" And she ran off with the cart before Rygar could say anything. While Rygar fumed, Sailor Jupiter managed to get close enough to the gang tough to kick him in the nads. As he fell to the ground gasping and choking, Sailor Jupiter managed to get loose from the chains, grabbed a cart, and dashed down the aisles. "Carrots for Ryo-ohki, veggies, pork, beef," Ryoko muttered as she went through the shopping list. Stopping by the liquor section, she saw something that made her smile. "Ah-*ha,* I knew I forgot something! Sake!" Sailor Jupiter went through her own list. "Hmm, better not get anything too spicy. Ann had some kind of reaction to spicy food once." Just then, both women noticed something through the window of the rear entrance, where the employees entered the supermarket and deliveries were picked up. "Hmm? What are gold bars doing in the rear of the store?" "Dunno," said Ryoko, "but there's no way I'm passing *those* by!" She raced through the rear entrance. "Ryoko, wait!" yelled Sailor Jupiter, also running through the entrance. Then they saw that the gold bars were being watched by the rest of the gang, all tough bruisers, including the women. At least one of them must have been a *smart* bruiser as well, because connected to the store through some cables was some kind of jury-rigged generator. *That explains why the power was on,* reasoned Sailor Jupiter. The biggest, nastiest member of the lot, obviously the leader, stepped in front of them. "The name's Bulla," he said. The name fit, from the size of the giant to the horns on some helmet he wore. He looked like a cross between a wrestler and some Viking reject. "You better be them hookers we phoned earlier, or else." "Sorry, no," said Ryoko flatly. "Looks like it's Oelse,' then." The two young ladies prepared to defend themselves. Bulla charged. But Ryoko summoned her energy sword and sliced off the horns! Bulla was so shocked by the lightsaber, he paused long enough for Ryoko to punch his lights out with her super-strength. "Hey, that bitch kayoed Bulla!" yelled one of them. "We can't let her get away with that!" yelled another, and the remaining punks charged en masse. *Judging from Rygar,* Sailor Jupiter thought, *they're not gonna stand long enough for a Thunder Crash either. Guess I'll have to rely on my karate.* Which she did with ease, kicking and chopping and blocking. But it soon became evident that her attackers were skilled in martial arts as well, and she was outnumbered to boot. But just as Sailor Jupiter was starting to get clobbered, Ryoko came to the rescue. "Naughty, naughty!" she wisecracked. "It ain't nice to gang up on a girl like that. Here's *my* kind of odds!" And with that, she began to unleash laser blasts at the punks, scattering them. Meanwhile, at the front of the shop, Sasami and Sailor Mercury had finished having a discussion. Sasami even showed Mercury a picture of Ryo-ohki. "If Usagi saw that little furball in person," chuckled Ami, "she'd be all over her like white on rice!" Sasami giggled. "Ryo-ohki *is* cute." Then she gasped. "Ryoko and your friend have just been in a fight!" "Are they all right?" exclaimed Sailor Mercury worriedly. "Yep," smiled Sasami. "In fact, the baddies are running from them, and heading this way!" "Freeze, dirtbags!" shouted Sailor Mercury as the gang ran out the door. "MERCURY ICE BUBBLES FREEZE!" With those words, the fleeing thugs were encased in ice! "Wow!" said Sasami admiringly. "That was neato!" "Thanks for the compliment," smiled Sailor Mercury. "Now, if only this was a more civilized area so we could turn them over to the police..." As it turned out, the gang wasn't the Immunity Challenge, but the hosts were willing to let it "pass" for one. And since it had been a Sailor Scout who caught them, that meant that the Scouts won. Ryoko (who voted for "that damn Sailor Mercury!") wound up having to leave, voted off by both Ayeka and Sasami. THE END (Announcement to readers: I need ideas for stories, plots, Immunity Challenges, and who should get voted off. Send them to me at TCSHAN@aol.com please. Thank you.)
