Here's Ch 2 of AW-Enjoy-K&K
DISCLAIMER: OK Rio, it's all yours! First, thank you to Mr. T. for the use of the Angels. Thanks to everyone else who is letting us use their creations. How was that, Yuri? Great! Oh yes it was, Kei! Well, we left you up in the air so let's get to Chapter 2 without further preamble:-
ANGEL WINGS
Chapter 2
'A Spoiled Drink' or 'The Returns Begin'
You can sure as Hell say that again, old girl! She's even nuttier than the Boss!" agreed Kome.
"You better watch that 'old girl' crap, Sawaguchi. I've told you about that before, haven't I? I ain't that old and I'm still 'your' boss, Kome." said Mar and she prepared to leave.
Over at the bar Revy was mad as a Sigorskian hornet! She'd ordered a 'Flaming Cordite Zombie' and the dumbass 'BOD' (Bartender of the Day who in this case was Suba Cheska Morton) had never even heard of one before!
The 'GMDI' (Galactic Mixed Drinks Index') had told Cheska how to prepare a 'Zombie' and dutifully she'd done so and even flamed it with her own laser sword so it was 'Flaming Zombie' but Revy complained that it tasted like roadkill blood mixed with rancid shit!
Rock was sipping his cherry cordial and looking for someplace to hide when Jon Harlock and his crew trooped up to the bar. Jon's navigator, a blonde trill 'girl' yanked Faye Valentine's Glock 7 pistol out of its holster and ejected one of its cartridges. Neko Olson (the till) calmly popped off the bullet's deadhead and dumped its entire contents (pure gunpowder) into Revy's glass and then ignited the concoction with her own blaster. The resulting flame leaped twenty full meters into the air!
This time Rock Obajime vaulted over the bar and dove for cover and so did almost everyone else at the bar! Revy took a tentative swig of the fiery brew and smacked her lips appreciably.
"Wow! Now that is a real 'Flaming Cordite Zombie'! Thanks girl!" she growled and Neko grinned at her.
"Sure thing, Missy. It's gunpowder only on old Terra it was called 'cordite' hence the drink's name. Only thing is the only folks around this part of the galaxies who still use the stuff are 'cowboys' and pirates- gomen (sorry) Faye- and 'cowgirls' too. That's oro we call bounty hunters around these parts, mum. I'm Neko, Neko Olson- at your service." replied Jon's svelte navigator who had the uncanny ability to transform into her namesake- a nekko or cat- not too surprising since she was a 'nekomata' or a shape shifter. Well her 'host' body was anyway. A 'trill' was an intelligent sentient being who was implanted into a 'host' body 'shell' and since 'trills' were very long-lived and unisexual to boot (Trills were both male and female and yet they were also neither one nor the other) they had to switch 'hosts' a number of times. This 'nekomata' shell was Neko's fifth. She really liked it a lot and hoped she'd be able to remain in it for several more decades to come.
Revy clapped her new tomo on the back and Neko winced. "I'm Revy, Revy Roberts! Glad to know ya, kiddo!" said the 'Black Lagoon' gal.
"Uh oh! Wait'll Mr. garner gets a load of that mess, man!" wailed Cheska.
"Wait'll Mr. Garner gets a load of oro mess, Suba Morton?" demanded a slight and spare guy with thinning silver/grey hair.
"That." answered Faye, pointing up to the scorched ceiling.
"And er that, sir." added Rock, indicating the 'target' wall behind them.
"Sweet Mother of Christ! Be the 'Demon o' Dublin' loose again? I can understand her fragging the wall but oro ever possessed her to set fire to an innocent ceiling?" asked Territorial Sector Chief Charles Augustus Garner.
"Maybe the Boss did nuke the wall but I don't think she fried that ceiling, Charlie." said Rally Vincent, a 'cowgirl' from Terran Chicago and affectionately known to all as 'Cat'. (Guess the 'Gunsmith Cats' are still with us after all. Wonder who else decided to stick around to keep the Angels company?).
"Then who--" began Garner.
"She done it, sir."" said Minnie Mae 'Blonde Bomber' Hopkins, another 'cowgirl' and Rally's partner. She was lovingly known to all by the moniker 'Kitten'. Mae ponted out the trill.
"Gomen Chief! I was er just mixing up a drink for Roberts over there, man." explained Neko.
"Oro the Sam Hell are you and the 'Botany Bay' club doing here anyway?" asked a now very curious Garner.
"Why we be here to be a-showing the finer points of our own dirty tricks er I mean street combat methods to the cadets here, sir. We be the assistant instructors to the er 'Creature from the Black Lagoon' whomsoever he might be. As a favour to dear Katie, don't ye know." answered Jonathan Harlock who was of course uncle to 'Queen' Emma Emeraldas.
" 'Black Lagoon'?" queried Garner. Revy got to her feet a mite unsteadily.
"I think he might be referrin' to me, Baldy!" she shouted in a slurred voice before collapsing onto the bar's floor.
This absolutely shocked Rock who had personally seen Revy Roberts outdrink a roomful of drunken seamen back in Roanispur! "Revy? One drink and KAPOW? But how?" whined Rock.
"An 'FCZ' drunk at a five kilo altitude ('Furool (Foo-Lon) City' was known throughout the cosmos as the 'Five Kilo High City') and of course her metabolism ain't gonna take it, man! Wimpy ass Fxxxing Terrans! OW! Oro was that for, Faye?" yelped Spike Steigel, rubbing his shin where the 'cowgirl's' boot had made contact with his flesh.
"I'm Terran too! Remember?" said Faye.
"Yeah Princess but you're ancient, ain't ya?" drawled Han Solo who was here on a state visit as Chief Advisor to the 'New Republic of Alderaan' leader- his wife Leia Skywalker Organa Solo. "Ouchie! Hey! I got diplomatic immunity now ya know!" howled Han, rubbing his sore shin.
"Not from me ya don't, Pirate." said Faye, calmly draining her Skotch and signalling for a refill.
Suddenly all aizu turned at the whooshing pulsating sound coming from the corner of the room where an old-fashioned Terran British police box aoishi in colour circa late 19th and early 20th Centuries had mysteriously materialised!
"Hello there chaps! I'm the Doctor! How d'ye do?" said a foppish little fellow wearing a ridiculous looking frock coat and waistcoat covered with question marks. His hair was the hue of spun gold and all in all he looked like the Mad Hatter from Alice in Wonderland! "Sorry to be the bearer of ill tidings but my predecessors are stuck on other assignments so it fell to my lot to come here. I'm er Doctor number six (He looked a lot like the ancient Terran British actor Colin Baker!) and I'm afraid the er 'God Gun' and 'Shenron Jr's' wish did not solve the dilemna at all well! C'mon out kiddies!" he chortled and six little schoolgirls bustled out of the TARDIS!
"I believe you all know Tsukina er Sailor Moon and her four sailor scouts from Earth, don't you?" he observed dryly. The first little girl who was a mite older (at seven) than the rest (who were six) ran over to Garner.
"Uncle Charlie, we have a little problem, sir. Er Rin is on the TARDIS but she made the trip in her nighty-nights so--" said Mooney and Charlie motioned to Marlene and Kome.
"Here we go again eh?" observed Kome and Mar nodded ruefully.
