=========================================================================== BBS: Anime Central Date: 04-17-95 (01:38) Number: 3732 From: DAVID WILLS Refer#: NONE To: ALL Recvd: NO Subj: GOTG part 3?!? 3/6 Conf: (82) Anime --------------------------------------------------------------------------- (Continued from previous message) Luna: Well, every time I've sensed some strange energy that I wasn't familiar with, they've turned out to be senshi. You don't think these two...? Artemis: Hmm. What's the suffix to this series? Luna reaches offscreen, and pulls the final scene from the opening animation onscreen behind them. It's a flashy looking scene, with Usagi and Kei standing back to back in the center of the screen, each giving the 'V' salute. Scattered throughout the background, in various expressions of annoyance, are SD versions of the othe Senshi, Naru, Yuri, Mughi, a strange apparition wearing a cross between a cabbage and camoflague, a short figure with stuble, wearing a yukata, and a little red fish-like thing wearing a blue space suit. Written below, in what looks like steel ribbons, is the title, "Dirty Moon." Luna: Hmmm...no letter. Artemis: And we've already got five senshi...I think these ARE youma, for a change. Luna (nods): Allright then. For now we just make sure Usagi and the others are safe. >From offscreen comes another loud CRASH, followed shortly by the sounds of Usagi wailing. Luna get a very pained expression on her face.... As Artemis comforts Luna, the camera pans to a tree, where Yuri and Kei are sitting. Both are wearing a set of obviously insanely expensive listening equipment. Yuri removes hers, and looks at Kei with an expression of shock on her face. Yuri: The...cats...talked.... (Shakes her head to clear it.) Just when I thought things couldn't get weirder...anyways, Kei, did you hear what the girls were saying? They've got a sleepover at Tsukino's house planned for tonight! We'll be able to nab them all, one stroke, no mess! Of course that Hino girl is going too...hmm. Guess it can't be helped. So, lets go! Yuri moves as if to jump from the tree. Kei makes no move to stop her, just continues sitting there, eyes closed, a suspicious smile on her face. Yuri: Kei! I said, let's go! Kei doesn't move. Yuri looks at her more closely. She spies a suspicious looking wire leading from one of the earphones. She follows the wire down Kei's body to...her utility belt, where it disappears into a pouch. Expertly, so as not to disturb Kei, Yuri opens the pouch, and slides out...a Discman. Yuri opens her mouth as if to scream...then smiles... The camera pans away for a few moments. As it moves, it suddenly fixes on a Dark Shadowy Figure in the bushes. DSF (in a low and evil sounding voice): Huh-huh-huh.... The camera pans back to Kei and Yuri. Kei hasn't moved, but the cord leading from her headphone to her Discman has changed somewhat...it's now attached to a small Black Box. The camera zooms in on the black box to read: Black Box: Stony PCXTAT50005 Hyper-Amp! Sonic Death!!! Boost that sonar!!! (real small writing) patent 38672746828 S.Stingray 2034 Yuri smiles, and presses a button on the box. An amber light flashes on. She turns a dial on the Discman...Kei doesn't move. Finally, Yuri flicks a small switch on the Amp. Two things happen at once. First, Kei's head appears to implode. Second, a single note of noise can be heard, then a feedback whine, and the hiss that signals the loss of a large amount of really expensive recording equipment. Mercifully, the camera fades to black before Kei recovers... When the scene opens again, it's onto a dusty, barren room. The walls are cracked; a single bare bulb lights the room. Long rows of wooden benches line the floor. The benches are filled with young boys, each wearing school uniforms, with bad haircuts and thick swirly glasses. A battered podium stands at the head of the room. As the camera fixes on the podium, another young man steps up to the podium. As one, all those seated stand, raise their right hands in the air, and... Group: HAIL ANIME! HAIL UNIX! HAIL UMINO! The leader returns the salute, and waves them seated. As one, they all do so. Leader (Umino): Thank you, brothers! Before we call this Emergency Meeting of the Jyuban League of the Anime Cybertroopers to order, I would like to ask Brother Amano to call the roll. Brother Amano! A figure rises from the masses. He looks identical to Umino. Amano: Hai! Aaano! Umino: There's a problem, Brother Amano? Amano (looking puzzled): First Brother Umino? Umino (looking puzzled himself): Ah...carry on then. Amano: Er...hai. Aaano! Umino (looking steamed): WHAT is the problem? (Notices a figure who has risen in the background) WHAT?! Figure (meekly): I think I'm the problem...Brother Aaano. Amano gives Umino a strange look. Umino collapses to his seat. Umino (weakly): Continue... The calling of the role drones on for a few minutes. When its done, Umino stands again. Umino: Brothers! It is time I told you the reason for this meeting! (A screen slides down behind him). The reason...is THIS! He points dramatically, as a picture of Kei and Yuri flashes onto the screen for about .5 seconds, then flashes out again. Umino (big sweat drop): Ah.... The camera pans back to the slide projector, which is smoking slightly. Umino: Er...right! Nevermind that! I'm sure you all saw who that was, correct? The mob nods as one. Umino: And I'm sure I don't have to tell you what THAT means, right? The mod nods as one. Umino: Excellent! Then it is our time to strike! Where is our spy? A figure stands from the back. Although looking mostly like the others, this one is noticeably taller and rounder than the others. Figure: Brother Alano reporting! I was able to determine our targets next location! The mob nods as one. Umino: You don't have to nod now! And where is that location, Brother (Continued to next message) --- FLAME v1.0/b * Origin: FULL Service eSoft Dealer For Over 9 Years! 508.429.8385 (1:322/360)
