Oh yes in case you happen to finish reading this, I was not on any psychadelic drugs or anything else, nor is this the result of eating 5 too many bowls of Fruity Pebbles. I'm just a very twisted guy who's really pi$$ed off at Mr. Hama. Summary: Let's suppose that one day,when you get home, your favorite comic character was waiting for you. For the sake of argument, let's just say she needed your help in convincing a certain writer to do the right thing. And let's just say he managed to really get her peeved? What would you do? Kairi walked into his building, holding his bookbag on his right shoulder, his South Park hat and shirt slightly dusty from his long walk. He was not very happy. This morning, he learned that he would be out of school until spring of 1999 due to his financial aid being late. Then, he found out that the site that he contributed the 'Generation X/ Resident Evil' stories to was down, so part five was indefinatly on hold. To rub more salt in his wounds, he forgot to refill his Metro Card, forcing him to walk all the way from LaGuardia to Astoria. I must be cursed, he thought. As he stepped into the elevator, he pressed the 3rd floor button and watched the door slowly close. At least he now had time to work on his own webpage with Ernie. He had many stories swimming in his head, and some particularly good suggestions on what to add. He hadn't bought another Gen X issue since #41, insted opting for the Dragon Ball comics and Ranma 1/2 graphic novels and movies. He had at least 4 hours before he had to go to work, so he could just stay home and watch some TV. The elevator stopped and Kairi stepped off, pushing all of the day's event's from his mind. As he opened the door to his apartment, he walked into the kitchen and laid his bookbag next to the chair where Jubilee was sitting, then went to the cabinet to get his box of... He stopped short and turned around. Sitting at the table in his chair was Jubilee, in t-shirt and jeans, rapping her fingers on the table, watching him. OK, there is only one thing to do here, he thought. Either start talking to her or check into the mental ward that Mom is threating to send me to. "Uh, hi?" Jubilee said. All that Kairi could do was sputter out gibberish that he couldn't control. "I see someone's gonna need to sit down." Jubilee said as she got up and allowed Kairi to sit down. As she sat on the counter, she asked "You're Kairi, right?" Nodding his said, Kairi said "Um, just to be sure, you're not the result of eating one too many sugar related products right?" Jubilee smiled and answered "If that were true, we would've had this little chat a long time ago, don't cha think?" Kairi nodded as she said "I'm guessing you're pretty much shocked because I'm here." "How is this possible?" Kairi said. "I mean, this can't be happening. How'd you get here? Hell, who let ya in?" "Cool yer jets." Jubilee said. "It's a bit hard to explain. I'm guessing that since so many people wished we were real and written so many fan fics on us, it must've thrown our dimensions for a loop. I'm not a savant at this inter-dimensional mumbo jumbo like Monet, so let me put it this way. We just exist, ok?" "Right." Kairi said. "This still doesn't explain why you're visiting me." Jubilee shrugged and said "None of the other fanfic guys were availible, so I decided to come here. Oh by the way, got a question for ya." "What?" "WHY THE HELL DID YA STICK ME IN THAT COURTHOUSE WITH A BUNCH OF ZOMBIFIED FREAKS?" "Damn, sorry about that, alright? Would you rather let me put you in a oversimplified fighting game like X-Men vs. Street Fighter?" Jubilee shuddered as she remembered her somewhat debatable appearence in a certain fighting game. "Ok, then, that's out of the way. So, c'mon, we gotta go." she replied. "Huh, what do you mean? "We're going to talk to Larry Hama. It's time we did something about his little adjustments. You've noticed that everything's gone loony." "I've been trying to forget for the past month or so." Kairi replied. Jubilee and Kairi sat in Hama's office, waiting for Hama to drop in. "Ya know, it's not too late to finish the story." Jubilee said. "I mean, at least you could find another website to go to." "I suppose." Kairi said. "I could always start my own webpage. Hell I can get started on that series I wanted to do." Jubilee raised an eyebrow. "If I'm involved in this, ya better get my approval first before you start anything!" Kairi shook his head and replied "No, it's a bunch of Inspector Gadget stories I'm planning on. Geez, don't get uptight." From outside, they heard someone say "What, another super hero is here? First Spider Man, then White Queen and now this!" "Must be more of them interdimensional rifts." Jubilee said as Hama walked in, flustered and noticebly uptight "So, Jubilee and...you are..." "Kairi Taylor. I wrote an Gen X/ Resident Evil series." "Oh, I remember. Wasn't my cup of tea. Lemme guess, you're here about the changes I made." "Gee, ya think?" Jubilee answered. "How the hell could you do this to us? First you stick us in this adventure with a giant weasel and a token, then you had some guys beat up on Ev, who's none too pleased about it, then you say that all this time..." "Please listen..." Hama started to say but Jubilee continued. "That Monet was really Pennance all this time. Now, you're gonna make us fight some lady and 7 intergalactic dwarves!" "Well, I did this mainly because of the sales." Larry said. "The sales for the comic were going down so we had to make a few changes..." At that point Kairi pulled out a few sheets. "Here's the sales rates according to one comic sales company." He said. "As you see the sales were steady until issue 34." Larry put the lists aside and said "You know, they're probably not really that reliable. Now story wise, I'm just following the orders of my editors. All I as doing was trying to boost sales." "By changing what was already established. Hell, even Scott established the fact that Penny was a 14 year old from Yugoslavia. (Author's note: EVEN I KNOW THIS AND I"M NOT A PRO!) None of what you did makes any sense!" "I understand what you're trying to say, but you have to understand where I'm coming from..." "You are aware that a hell of a whole lot of people have discontinued their subscriptions." Kairi said. "I've had to switch to Ranma 1/2 and the Dragon Ball titles to get over this. And what the hell was with issue 41? Even Happosai would be offended by what you've done." "I don't think you two understand..." Kairi sighed. He must be cursed. Jubilee fumed as she drank her soda. "Oh, the nerve of that guy!! Who does he think he is!! I outta light him up major time!!" They were in Planet Hollywood, eating burgers with Sean whislt a lot of the patrons were sitting down whispering about the most unexpected patrons. Sean merely sipped his coffee as he said "Try ta calm down lass. I'm sure we kin think o' something ta change da man's mind." Jubilee shook her head. "I think not. Frosty's already talked to her and ya seen what's happened." Kairi, in the meantime was engaged in a conversation with Ryoga, who apparrently made the grandaddy of wrong turns and somehow winded up in NY. "So you're saying that you guys can come here at you're own free will?" Kairi said. Ryoga nodded and said "Yeah, but how'd I ended going here instead of Nerima is beyond me." "You lost again?" Sean asked. "Yeah, but thankfully, Mr. Saotome is coming to pick me up." At that point, a giant panda walked in and sat down, holding a sign that said 'Hello Kairi'. "Greetings Mr Saotome. Strange that you seem to know me." Kairi said. "Hey I just thought of something. If you guys can zap yourselves back and forth, what's preventing me from doing it." "Good point." Jubilee said. "Try it." Kairi smiled and closed his eyes. In a flash he disappeared. "Hope he didn't try anythin' foolish." Sean said. Seconds later, Kairi came back. "Wow, I didn't think I can actually to THERE!" he giggled. "Ok, so how do we handle Hama?" Jubilee said "Aside from using physical violence." At that point, Genma held up a sign which read 'Why not ask Washu?' Jubilee snapped her fingers. "Of course! It's so obvious! She can build something to help us." Kairi raised an eyebrow, saying "Er, isn't there anything else we can do?" Sean shook his head. "If ya kin think of anything else other than breaking his legs, no lad." "Oh well, guess we'll just see Washu." Jubilee and Kairi stood at the front of Tenchi's home, which seemed very quiet. Of course, the real indication was that the note that the others left for Washu on the door, saying something 'bout a trip to Manhattan. "So, it's just Washu today. Convient." Jubilee said. "Kairi looked all around the house as he said "I'm still stumped as to how I seem to have this now almost natural ability to warp between dimensions." Jubilee shrugged and said "Hey, join the club. I'd ask Monet, but that involves talking to her." As she opened the door, she said "Wonder if she's still in the basement?" The loud explosion that came from the kitchen prompted Kairi to yell "Well, that's one way of knowing!" They rushed in to find a woman with wild purple hair standing over a pot, saying "Somehow, I knew that putting oregano in this was a bad idea." "Hey, little Washu!" Jubilee said. Washu turned and said "Ah, Jubilee! Oh, I see you brought Kairi with you." "Does everybody know me or something!?!" Kairi said. "Ah, don't take it so personally kiddo!" Washu said. "I just make it a habit of knowing the names of all potential guinea pigs." Kairi raised an eyebrow knowing 'very' well what Washu meant. "So, what brings you to this side of the cosmos?" she asked. "Well," Jubilee began. "First, me and Kairi want to know just exactly how are we able to warp around like Mario Brothers?" "I guess you mean the manipulation of interdimensional rifts?" Washu replied "Well, it's all pretty simple, if you understand the mathmatics. But I'm guessing you have absolutley no idea." They both nodded as she continued. "Ok, let's say this: exactly how much of your ideas are original creations? Let's just say that all the ideas somehow are really part of many possible dimensions in space and time. In other words, Ranma's world actually exist, much like Jubilee's and mine. The odds of thinking up a world that actually exists in a parallel Earth are quite high. A few weeks ago, there' was a significantly high energy release in the Andromeda System, in your dimension Kairi, that had gone unnoticed." "But you detected it." he said. "Of course, when you're 20,000 years old, you tend to think of everything." Washu replied. "Now, this energy was strong enough to affect the space time rifts and affected the human population on Earth. As you know, the human brain can only use about 30% of it's potential energy. You ever stopped to wonder what would happen if you could use more of your brain?" "Weird if you ask me." Jubilee said. "But how come I haven't noticed this before." Kairi said. "Think about this: when was the last time you've been able to warp yourself into another dimension?" Washu asked. Kairi nodded and said "Good point." "Now, I imagine you've come here for more than just to chit chat 'bout time rifts." Washu said. Jubilee said "It's that Larry Hama guy! He's ruining the comic. Everbody's tryin' to talk some sense into him, but he ain't listening." "Ah, a tricky case." Washu said. "I believe that there's something in my lab that can help. It's my Dream Manipulation Chamber." "Que?" asked Kairi. "I built a portable chamber that allows you to enter and control the dreams of someone who is asleep. However, it's been untested. In theory, it could kill the dreamer or possibly drive him to have psychotic episodes..." "We'll take it!!!" Jubilee and Kairi shouted. "Sure, ok, but on one condition." Washu said as she smiled at Kairi. "Uh Oh." Meanwhile, elsewhere on Earth, other particularly intresting events were taking place around the city. Captain America had decided to take a tour of the U.N., much to the shegrin of several terroists from some country I can't even spell, much less heard of, who tried to take the place hostage. Chamber and Husk took a tour of the Bronx Zoo together. Too bad the elephant decided to spray water at the wrong person. Skin decided to go to a Broadway play. Unfortunatley, he had forgotten exactly how much it costs for a front row seat to 'Bring in Da Noise, Bring in Da Funk'. Ryoga and Mr. Saotome, on the other hand, decided to meet with Akane in the Broadway branch of the Queens library. Which wouldn't have so bad if Ryoga wasn't leading the way and ended up somewhere in Main Street, Flushing. Fortunatley Mr. Saotome, who could get a lot attention being a giant panda at the moment, was able to get a bus map and found a bus to take them there. Melanie paced back and forth around the computers, apparently bored. No one was at the computers today, mostly because of the strange events surrounding the day. All she knew was that when she woke up to feed Jacob, in the middle of the night as all babies request, she looked out the window and saw several large, yellow birds walking around, going 'Wark!' and pecking at the cars. Then, she heard on the radio that some guy on a surfboard was flying all around the city. To top it off, some girl with a short haircut was in the back talking it up with Anita, who had apparently gone totally estatic when she caught sight of her. As she pondered on these events, a girl in a t-shirt and jeans opened the door while a large object, covered in a blue sheet, was pushed in by Kairi. "Uh, Kairi, mind explainig what's going on here?" Melanie asked. Kairi peeked behind from the object and said "Huh? Oh, nothing really. Jubilee, this is my co-worker, Melanie." "Hi," Jubilee said. "Oh, which way's the back?" Melanie pointed to her left and said "Over there. Be careful, Anita's in the back with someone. You need help with that?" "No, I've got it." Kairi said as he pushed it. The library supervisors only stared in disbelief as Kairi pushed the object to the back of the library. The area that Melanie pointed to was a small little section that had one book truck and three walls separating it from the library. As Jubilee walked in first, she saw a girl in glasses talking with Akane. "Hey Akane." she said. Akane smiled and said "Oh, Jubilee!" Anita waved her hand and said "Hi. Is Kairi with you." Kairi came in, pushing the object saying "Man, what the heck did Washu build this thing outta, titanium alloy?" "Ah, Kairi." Akane said smiling as she walked up to him. "I've been meaning to speak to you." Kairi scratched his head as he asked "Er, what's on your mind." Akane then proceded to pull out a large mallet as she yelled "YOU PERVERT!!" and whacked Kairi upside the head! "OW! Hey, that hurt!" Kairi said. "That was for reading that lemon story, deviant! (Author's note: For those that may not know, a Lemon story, simply put, is a dirty story involving anime characters and...well you can figure out the rest.) What the hell were you doing reading 'Female Fiancee's Fun', anyway?" "Who told you that?" Kairi yelled. Akane pointed to Anita, who said "I needed something to talk about." "Oh, that reminds me..." Jubilee landed a hard left hook on Kairi's jaw as he said "Damn, what was that for?!" "You know!" Jubilee said. At that point Monet walked in and said "Hey, are you ready to start? Angelo and Paige are over at Marvel and..." Upon seeing Kairi, she proceeded to walk over and elbow him in the ribs. "Ok and that was for..." Anita said. "He knows!" Monet said, crossing her arms. "This just isn't your day, huh?" Anita asked as Kairi rubbed his ribs. "Is there anyone else who wants to beat me up out there?" he asked. (Author's note: Ok, this was about to get ugly, so to sum it all up: Storm came in and let loose a lightning bolt on Kairi, then Rouge and the White Queen came and beaned him with a couple of steel chairs, then Jean Grey just kicked him in the groin and Akane whacked him with the mallet again and put him in the Boston Crab, saying something about doing a favor for both Nabiki and Ukyo. Why I'd put myself though that kinda cartoonish self abuse for the sake of humor and revenge is beyond me, so don't ask. On with the story.) "Ok, I hope everbody's got that out of their system now," Kairi said, limping and swallowing a couple of asprins. "Now to deal with Larry Hama. Unless the 'Committee To Open Up A Can Of Whoop A$$ on Kairi' has anything else to add!" "Nope!" Kairi whipped out the manual to the device as he asked "Now, you sure that they'll be able to get Hama to sleep?" Monet smiled. "Hey, I personally mixed the sleeping potion myself, so everthing will go perfectly as planned." she answered. "Of course, I'd rather think of finder better ways of changing someone's mind rather than tormenting them through their dreams." "Nope, sorry, I don't think so." Jubilee said as she pulled off the sheet. The device in question was a large rectangular bluish purple box with a steel lock. Taking out a key, Jubilee unlocked it and the box stretched out to expose a large computer screen with a keyboard and several black helmets.. Two monitors, labeled 'Brain Frequency' were at each side. "The manual," Kairi read "states that once the victim falls asleep, we should put the red helmet, the one that Angelo has, onto the subject and use the keyboard to control the scenario, while the black helmets control our thoughts over him." Jubilee smiled and pulled out a cell phone. "Well, time to see if our would be tormentor has taken the bait." Hama sat down in his chair, looking over his two latest disgruntiled heroes, Angelo Espinosa and Paige Guthrie. As he held his mug, he felt a silent rage trying to explain himself to just about everybody that was involved with the Gen X comic. "Look, I know how everybody feels about what I'm doing," he sighed "but I'm telling you, it's for the best. I know that being led around by a talking around seems foolish, but it's entertaining. I've worked on both Wolverine and G.I. Joe, so I'm pretty sure it'll work out." "G.I. Joe?" Angelo said. "I remember that from WAAYY long ago. Course, dunno if I remember if I liked it or not. I'm pretty sure it was nice." Paige sighed and said. "I know you've been hearing this all day, but can you at least try to restore some order? I mean, sort out the Penance situation, it really makes little sense." Hama downed the coffee. "Nope, no can do," he replied. "I kinda like how it is now. Besides it's really the other editors you might wanna talk with." As Hama yawned, Angelo smiled. "OK homey, you leave us no choice. I was lookin' foward to this." "What are you...talkin...." Hama slowly dozed off and as his head hit the desk, Paige closed the door to the office. Angelo's cell phone rang and he answered it saying "Ok, the victim's all set." "Good," Jubilee's voice said on the phone. As Paige put the red helmet on Hama, Angelo took out the black helmets from his bookbag and said "You know, maybe we should be feelng guilty about this." "Nah." Paige concluded. Hama awoke with a jerk. It was barely lit in what seemed to be his office and his desk, not to mention all of his stuff was gone, except for the chair he sat in. Facing him was Jubilee and that Kairi kid, both with arms crossed. "Welcome to thy house of pain." Kairi said. "What's goin' on? Where's my stuff." Hama shouted. "In case you're wondering," Jubilee began "You're dreaming. We've tried everything to convince you, so your sorry a$$ has one last chance to change what you're doing or suffer." "You've got to be serious!" he scoffed. "There's no way that I'll do anything you ask!" Kairi grinned wickedly as Jubilee said "Ok, suit yourself. Get' im Akane!" Hama turned to see a young girl holding a large baseball bat preparing to swing. "What th-" "HAMA NO BAKA!!" Akane yelled as she whacked him with the bat. (There's your japanese lesson for the day, kids!) Hama was sent flying all the way through the wall of the office, head first, into the elevator. As he got up, he coughed "You're all maniacs!" He pressed the button to the lobby and he heard Emma's calm voice saying "Going Down." Unfortunatley for Mr. Hama, the elevator plummeted at about 25 MPH to the bottom floor. Hama staggered out of the wreckage of the elevator, heading outside. The city was strangely empty and dark. "Where's a taxi when you need one?" he said. Out of nowhere, a taxi pulled up right next to him. Not one to question, Hama pulled the door open and yelled to the taxi driver "Drive!" As he slammed the door, the driver turned around and Hama saw, to his horror, that it was Paige. "Hang on, city slicker." she said. Tires screeching, Paige drove off as Hama was pushed back into his seat. As Paige drove through stores and windows and made extremely sharp curves, she said "Y'all jut stay comy now, I only had 'bout 23 accidents or so, so I'll get the hang of it!" Hama blinked his eyes and screamed "Stop the car! Stop I say! Let me off!" "Are you kiddin'? Not while he's chasing us!" Hama looked out the back of the window. A pair of giant, reptilian feet was in close pursuit and a familiar roar was heard. "Ok, now. If you want to get out of this, will you change your mind?" "No!" Hama said vehemently "Very well then." Paige said "You can deal with Godzilla yourself." Paige faded out as Hama looked behind him just as Godzilla gave the taxicar a good punt kick that would make the 98 Green Bay Packers jealous. "Whoa! Where'd I land at now?" Hama said. As he got out of the car, he was in the hallway of a police station, with a statue of a lady holding a pitcher at the center. As he looked at the hole in the ceiling the taxi left, the door burst open. Kairi came in, in a S.W.A.T. team uniform, armed with a shotgun and rocket launcher. Shutting the door quickly, he said "You're in the wrong place buddy." "What are you talking about?" Hama said, irritated that one of his tormentors had shown up. "Zombies, dude." Kairi replied. "City's infested with them. They're heading this way. If you're smart, you'll come with me. On one condition though..." "Oh, so that's it huh?" Hama interupted. "Well forget it. There's no way I'll change my mind!" Kairi shrugged. "Suit yourself." Kairi tossed the rocket launcher to Hama and smiled as he blinked out. Suddenly the door broke down. The zombies, who were once G.I. Joes, spilled into the room, moaning "Yo Joeee." "Eat this!" Hama yelled as he raised the rocket launcher. However, he didn't count on it exploding and sending him through the roof. Hama found himself on a field. As he looked all around him, he saw Akane and Jubilee, dressed in karate uniforms. "So, still won't change your mind." Akane asked. "Heh." Hama sneered. "You forget you've got me in a dream world, so I can do what I want." Hama pulled out a bo staff and said. "You want some of this? Come and get me, tomboys." "Bad choice of words." Jubilee said as she stepped back. Akane came at him so quickly, he could ony wimper as she beat on him at a frantic pace with everything she could think of. As Hama looked up after Akane finished pummeling him, he saw Angelo and some giant panda staring down at him. "Yo, Hama. Quit?" Angelo asked. "Never!" Hama groaned. "OK then. Get him Genma." Mr. Saotome lept up and dropped himself onto the dazed Hama, who screamed as he fell through the crowd. The next thing Hama knew, he was standing in the middle of a wrestling ring, with a giant crowd watching over him. Sean stood in a tuxedo while Ev stood in a referee's uniform. "Where the hell am I now!" Hama yelled. "Don't ask me." Ev said "This is the only time I've been in this crazy story." Then Hama heard glass shatter and the crowd went ballistic. "And his opponent," Sean boomed "From Victoria, Texas, STONE COLD STEVE AUSTIN!!!" Hama watched in horror as a lone bald man in jeans and a shirt that said 'Austin 3:16' approached his location. As Austin stepped through the ropes, he smiled as Hama stood like a lamb being prepared for the slaughter. (Author's Note: As much as I would like to describe more ways of having Larry Hama punished, I'm afraid that I must cut to the big finish. Needless to say, Hama got his!) Jubilee stood over Hama as we wheezed from everything he suffered. "OK, we'll try this again." She pulled out a katana as she said "Fix what you've done, or else little Hama's gonna be permanetly separated from big Hama!" As she raised the very sharp weapon, Hama covered his face with his arms and said "I'll do it! Please, No!!!" The next thing Hama knew, he awoke screaming. He was back in his office, where Paige and Angelo were sitting, staring at him. "So, can we talk?" Angelo asked. At that point, Hama's eyes twitched. He began to laugh maniaclly and said "Yes!! Why not!! I'm free from you! Finally! Horrible, horrible freedom!!" Later that night, Kairi, Anita, Melanie, Jubilee and Akane stood outside the library while Ryoga and Mr. Saotome hauled the machine away. "So, Hama went insane and had to be committed." Anita said. "That means they'll get a new writer." Jubilee nodded and added. "With our approval, of course. Wouldn't want to have to put some other shmuck through the treatment again." "At least we had something to do at work." Melanie said. "What about tomorrow?" Kairi rubbed the back of his head. "I dunno 'bout you but I'm taking a vacation." he announced. "You need a vacation?" Akane asked "Well, I suppose so, after everything that you put up with today." "Not without me he's not." They all turned to see Washu walking down the street. "Little Washu!" Akane said. "What's going on?" "I'm making good on my agreement with my potential guinea pig." she answered. Kairi smiled and said "Er, I'll see ya guy's in a little while." As Kairi quickly disappeared, Anita asked "Where'd he run off to?" Washu pulled out a small, beeping black device. "Uh oh." she said. "You know, it's nice that you came to visit on vacation and all," Nabiki started as she at at the table with Kairi and Washu, who clung to his arm. "but at the very least, you can look happy." "I hope that you're not upset that I brought some friends over for our week together." Kairi looked over at Akane, Jubilee and as Jubilee said "Hey, after all I've been through, ya still owe me." Jubilee replied. Kairi shook his head and quietly sipped his soda. "He's still miffed about the accident?" Akane asked. "What accident?" Nabiki asked. Anita took a glass of water and poured it on Kairi's head turning him into a giant fox. "Next time, maybe you should think twice about going to Junsenkyo." Anita smiled. "Think of it this way," Nabiki said. "Your clothes fit and you're very cute and fuzzy." Kairi held up a sign, which read 'I am Definatley Cursed!
