"Not too big, Jerry. It's totally only nine decks, sir." replied Alex.

"Don't forget the five that are underground, girl!" yelled Clover.

"What!" cried Jerry.

"She means the five subsurface levels er decks which are below the main deck, Jerry." said Sammy reassuringly. "Or is this maybe Deck 6?" she mused aloud.

"No! It totally cannot possibly be Deck 6, Sammy! Deck 6 is that big humongous gun thingy- remember?" corrected Alex.

"Oh yeah, man. How could I have totally forgotten about that damned thing?" replied Sammy.

"Let's go find the elevator (lift), guys! Then all we gotta do is tell good old 'CC' where we gonna go and he'll take us there, man!" squealed Clover excitedly.

"Look. There's the gantryway steps." suggested Alex and she pointed them out at the end of the hallway.

"Walk all the way up there? Are you crackers, girl? No darn way will I do that, Alex!" wailed Clover and for the very first time Jerry Lewis realized that he was not in Arnie Schwarzenegger's sunny State of California in the good old US of A anymore! He craned his neck back and stared upwards at the central atrium at the top of the starship. Then he leaned on the railing and gazed downwards at the base of the ship far below them.

Clover spotted something at the opposite end of the long corridor and crowed "There's the elevator! C'mon guys!" and jogged off down the hallway towards it. Jerry, Alex and Sammy had to double time after the blonde with Gladys jetting along behind them.

"Take us to the bridge- quick!" ordered Clover after they had all piled into the lift car. Gladys hovered in the air above them.

"You are not authorized to use this conveyance without proper clearance." said 'CC's voice in a monotone and Clover blew her stack!

"You pathetic piece of worthless crap! I just gave you a Kami shimatta order, dammit! I told you to take us up to the Boss's bridge- stat! Now do it you frigging junkyard- or else!" yelled the blonde bombshell, stamping her foot almost onto Alex's toe!

"Miss Clover? Welcome back! This must be old home week or something totally like that, surfer girl. Mikey and his family and friends are here too and er so's just abot everyone else as well, man! Hey, who's the old fuddy duddy, kiddies?" asked a curious 'CC'.

"Jerry Lewis. Their boss and that's Gladys- our own 'CC' from 'WOOHP'! So you just do what you're told and take us up to that bridge now, sir!" exploded an angry Jerry.

"OK Gramps! Keep your shorts on! Sheesh! Oro a sorehead!" sulked 'CC' and the lift shot upwards so fast that Jerry almost upchucked all over Sammy!

"Looky there, Love! Intruders- and they're trying to break into the bridge, Dom!" whispered Villa to his partner, Dominique the Cyclops. They were the gunner and the navigator respectively of the 'Outlaw Star' and they had drawn guard duty for this watch. The tall dark-maned woman with Villa had a black patch over her left aizu and she was drawing out her Mark XIII ion cannon while Villa yanked out his own disruptor pistol.

"OK, that's just about enough of that crap, gents! Get your hands up! Now!" ordered Villa.

"Who the dickens is he?" whispered Jerry, hastening to comply.

"How the Hell should I know?" seethed Sammy through gritted teeth.

"Not so fast, darlin'! He said 'hands up'!" said Dominique, grabbing Clover by her long blonde mop and slamming her against the bulkhead wall as the speedy 'WOOHP' spygirl sprinted past her. With Villa covering them, 'Deadaizu' patted down the newcomers for weapons.

"They're clean, Villa. Let's take 'em in!" she said, biting down on her cigarillo.

"Don't you girls have er diplomatic immunity or something? I thought you said that everyone aboard this tub knew the three of you?" whispered Jerry to Sammy.

"I never laid eyes on those two loonies before, Jerry and I doubt if Blondie or Reds did either! I sure hope 'somebody' remembers us besides 'CC' and his cohorts!" whispered Alex fearfully. A voice boomed out from behind Villa and Dominique.

"Well! Will ya look at oro the neko (cat) dragged in! Hey gang! Those 'Beverly Hills Bimbos' are back!" called the 'cowgirl' (Faye Valentine) over her shoulder. She was standing in the doorway of the ready room's portals.

Here's Ch 11-Pt 1-Enjoy-K&K

DISCLAIMER: OK Jerry, 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 180 without further preamble:-

Chapter 11

'Snake In the Bays' or 'Mandy In the Morning'

"Yo! Boss! Solo! Our three fave spygals are back! And they brought their grandpa with 'em! Hey! That's a CTX-9000J and man- is it ever ancient! Circa late 20th Century I'd say. Looks like the gals found some flightsuits just like ours somewhere! Hey! Wait a sec! They 'are' ours! Sammy, you've totally got some explaining to do, girl!" said 'Cowgirl' Faye Valentine.

The 'Valley' redhead quickly explained matters to Faye who had been joined by Han and Kei. When she'd finished her story Clover glared daggers at the svelte cowgirl. "So- is there anything else you wanna know?" asked the blonde.

"Who's Gramps and why'd ya bring 'NOMAD' (a Trekkie reference) with ya?" drawled Solo.

"I'm their boss- Jerry Lewis- not their Gramps, sir. That is our computer module 'Gladys' above your head and how any of us came to be here is beyond me, sir, mums." explained the David Niven dude.

"My wiring is circa 21st Century- AD 2008, Miss! Ancient! Sheesh! One would think that you thought that this was the 23rd Century to hear you, child!" scolded 'Gladys' and Kei scowled at her and Jerry.

"This 'is' the 23rd Century- AD 2251 to be precise and you're all aboard my starship the 'Lovely Angel 2' bound for the edge of the known universe. How ya got here ain't no real mystery either. Ya came through the rift in the space/time continuum and your spygirls there know all about that from their last visit to us. (Clover sneezed) Faye, get 'em some warm flight boots. Han, get Jerry kitted out, will ya? Hope ya don't mind sharing a suite for tonight. We'll get ya all settled in ashita. And er I do not want 'Gladys' exploring my 'Angel' so onegai (please) keep her with you folks. Faye? Han? Put 'em in next door to Sensei Splinter's brood. They're all old shipmates except for 'Iron Drawers' (The 'Shredder'). Goodnight gang." instructed the Boss Lady. Faye and Han ushered them towards the lift while Dominique and Villa resumed their patrolling. Jerry turned to the redhead with a perplexed look on his face.

"You're really in command around here? (Kei nodded) But you're just a kid yourself! And you really are the captain?" stammered Jerry.

"Hai, I am the commander, however, my correct titled rank is Marshall not Captain. Of course we don't stand on formality a whole lot around here so you just call me Kei or Boss, Jerry. You've er met our roving patrol guards for tonight- Villa and Dominique? (Sammy nodded) Well, they both have real itchy trigger fingers so I suggest that all of you refrain from taking any midnight strolls around the ship. Good night." said Kei, waving them away. Meanwhile- nine decks beneath them on the first sublevel-

"Rio said there was a real cool shootin' gallery down here somewheres, Neko. Ya see it anyplace? (Neko shook her head) All the Fxxx I can see are those weird lil spaceships like we came over here in!" complained Revy Roberts.

"Shuttles dammit! They are called shuttles, Revy! They're for short spacehops of less than ten lightyears. I think the gun ranges are a couple more levels down. Hey! Did ya hear that, Revy?" replied Neko Olson.

"Yeah! I sure as Hell did!" agreed Revy and she was drawingout one of her twin 'Cutlass' automatic pistols and heading towards the strange sounds. Neko yanked out her own blaster and followed Revy.

Ekichii Orochimaru had decided to 'borrow' one of the 'Angel's shuttles so he and Kabuto were trying to force the Leo's hatch open and that was oro Neko's sharp feline ears had detected.

"This thing combined with all my forbidden jutsu will make me the ruler of all five lands back home, Kabuto! Haven't you gotten that open yet?" growled his sensei.

"Gomen er sorry Sensei but it wworks on some sort of coded sequences. If I still had some of my paper bombs I could attempt to blow it open but all of our weapons have been confiscated. I really don't know oro more I can do, Sensei." replied Kabuto.

"Well I sure as Hell do! You're both going to the brig, me boyos! Get your Fxxxing hands up- now!" yelled Revy, covering the two Jonin with both 'Cutlasses' while Neko patted them down and shook her head. Orochimaru began sliding towards the exit ramp.

"Just gimme a Fxxxing reason to blow your shimatta sorry ass away, Ninja! Neko, cuff 'em! Didn't ya say the Boss had a brig down here somewhere?" said Revy.

"Yeah. On Sublevel Four." replied Neko while she was clamping the 'Darbies' on student and his obnoxious sensei.

"The lift is right behind ya, gents! Let's go. Ya try anything baka (stupid) and I'll splatter your Fxxxing guts all over these nice shiny space cars!" said revy, motioning them both towards the lift.

"Take us down to Sub Four, 'CC' onegai." said Neko and down they went. At the lower brig Neko tapped the doorpanels and muttered some low words. The portals shot back and Revy shoved the two Ninja Jonins inside. Neko repeated her litany and sealed the brig again.

"Mar? Do you copy? Over." trilled Neko.

"Yeah I copy. Oro ya need, kiddo? Over." trilled a sleepy blonde navigator.

"Sorry to bother ya this late, mum but we just caught Mr Orochimaru and Mr Kabuto trying to heist your 'Leo' so we got 'em locked up in Sub Four's brig. Ya better post a couple of guards to watch e

'em though. Oro? Revy's here with me. Yeah, we'll hold down the fort until they get here. Arigatou, mum. Neko out." trilled the shapeshifter and she turned to face her red maned partner. "Mar's sending down Goku and Vegeeta. We gotta watch those two until they get here." she explained and Revy nodded.

Meanwhile the 'WOOHP' spygirls had forgotten all about Clover's weekend houseguest back home in Terran LA in all the confusion- that is until now. "Hey Clover? Where's Mandy?" asked Alex.

"Huh?" grumbled a sleepy blonde in the bunk below Alex's.

"You had mandy staying over at your place for the weekend. Remember?" whispered Alex.

"She's probably sound asleep back at Clover's place, Alex. Asleep like we were until you woke us up dammit! Go back to sleep, girl." yawned Sammy. Both she and Clover dozed off again but Alex tossed and turned in her bunk. Finally she decided to raid the fridge down in the galley for a midnight snack. Try as she might Alex just could not get used to 'replicating' no matter how hard she tried.

Here's Ch 11-Pt 2-Enjoy-K&K

Back at Clover's posh Beverly Hills mansion on Mulholland Drive in Terran California Mandy had just taken a nice warm relaxing shower and toweled herself dry. Wrapping another towel around her long raven tresses and a second one around her slender svelte kawaii form, she padded into the adjoining dressing alcove to get into her 'Teddies' and hit the old sack.

"I do need my beauty sleep, dammit." she yawned aloud and stepped into not the alcove but instead into a long dark tunnel-like corridor lined with doors on either side of the immense hallway! Startled the brunette spun round and walked straight into a metal wall!

"Where the Hell's the God damned bathroom? Clover! If this is your idea of a joke, it's not very funny and I ain't laughing, gal! Did ya hear me, you dipstick bimbo? Brr! Come on, Clover! It's frigging freezing out here! Hey it acn't be! It never gets this damned cold in LA, does it? So- where in the name of God Almighty am I then? Man, this is really scary! Clover! HELP!!" sobbed mandy with tears running down her cheeks and spoiling her ascara and makeup. Bucking up some courage (God knows where she got it from though!) she decided to check out this new place where she seemed to find herself. The door right in front of her bore a sign reading 'Warp Core Reactor' and below it 'OFF LIMITS!' and it was locked! As were all the other doors she tried. At one end of the hallway she spied a sign reading 'Level 3- Sector Gamma' above a twisting spiral staircase.

"Nothing ventured- nothing gained." she thought while she descended the stairs to the next level and reached the 'Rec Room/Bar' door which yielded easily to her touch. Glancing round the immense room which looked to Mandy like a casino at Disneyworld she passed the bar and the pair of hokey dark aoishi (blue) 'phone booths' (TARDISes) and eventually found the dining hall next door and the powder room.

"There might be something to wear in here." she mused aloud and washed her face and dried her aizu. Hanging on the wall she discovered some really weird looking white bathrobes with 'Property of LA2' printed across their backs. Mandy ditched her towel and pulled one on. Then she tied the sash (obi) on it and decided her hair was dry enough by now and ditched the other towel as well. Both towels she threw on the floor totally ignoring the 'Please use Laundry Chute here' sign on the wall. Mandy was a real slob! Next she opened a locker and found some cool rad sandals which she stuck on her feet.

Feeling a bit less 'au natural' now she wandered into the galley and bumped into our fave brunette- Alex! "Hey there! Watch where the devil you're going, Shithead!" growled Alex. Mandy bristled and fired back-

"Who the Fxxx are 'you' calling a Shith--? Alex? Is it really you, girl? How'd ya get here? How'd I get here? Is Clover here too? And Sammy? Where is 'here' anyway, Alex?" cried Mandy and started to sniffle again. "Where are we, Alex? I'm really scared!" wailed Many and the waterworks burst again.

"There there, Mandy. I know. I know. It's a bit scary at first. I got scared right outta my pants the first damned time we were here, man! I'll tell ya all about it in the morning, mandy- I promise. C'mon. You can bunk with us. Aw, stop blubbering, Mandy! You're getting my PJ's all wet! Buck up, girl and act your bloody age! OK, I've got you now. Let's go." soothed Alex and led the 'Valley babe' prima donna to the lift. Then she rode herself and mandy back up to the 'WOOHP' suite on Surface Level Four. She stuck the trembling teenager into the bunk above Sammy and then climbed back up into her own bunk above Clover. Alex held onto mandy's still trembling hand and cooed a lullaby to her until they both entered the Land of Nod.

"Christ! Where the Hell'd she come from? Clover? Alex?" whispered Sammy fiercely when she awoke and spotted the newbie in her upper bunk.

"I found her ass in the kitchens downstairs around two this morning, Sammy. Clover gonna blow a gasket when she sees her so best tell her gently, Sammy." yawned Alex.

"Don't let it slip that we're with 'WOOHP', girls! Here's the story:- Jerry is Alex's uncle and he's a really nutty inventor guy. Gladys is his latest brainstorm. You two got all that? (Alex and Clover nodded) Now as to what we're doing here, where 'here' is and how we all got here- We'll just let Boss Lady Kei field those ones for us." explained Sammy when she'd returned from her shower. By now Clover was up as well as Alex.

"Definitely! That will totally work, Sammy!" agreed Alex while zipping up her flight suit. Clover, however, frowned.

" 'Uncle' Jerry? Do you guys think even Mandy's dumb enough to fall for that one? Do ya even 'have' an uncle, Alex?" said Clover.

"I dunno for sure. Mom never ever talks about our relatives, Cloey." replied Alex.

"I wonder if these flightsuits come in crimson?" frowned Clover. She'd pulled on a black turtleneck which just about covered her racy red bikini briefs.

"Ya mean to match your pretty undies? Then I guess I oughta ask for yellow and Sammy can have green eh?" chuckled Alex. She and Sammy were ready to split the scene.

"Should we wake up 'Sleeping Beauty' for breakfast?" asked the blonde, sliding into flight boots.

"Nah, let her sleep. She'll find the flightsuit we left in her closet I hope?" said Sammy.

"Oh, you can totally count on that, Sammy! The first thing the loon did this weekend was to raid all of my closets! Let's go, kids- I'm starving!" called Clover. Alex was waiting for them at the lift banks when Sammy and Clover joined her. Then the trio went down to breakfast. Jerry and Gladdy joined them at ten and Sammy explained all about Mandy to 'Uncle' Jerry who merely grinned like a Cheshire Cat.

"So I'm Alex's kooky uncle who invents things like Gladys eh? Yes, it should work, Spies but even if Mandy does somehow find out who we really are don't forget that we still got that memory gas we can use on her. Now, let's see what's on the old menu? Waitresses? You spies sure have got it made in the shade, don't you?" said Jerry, snapping his fingers to attract the attention of the schoolgirl waitressing them and Makoto Kino a/k/a 'Sailor Jupiter' came jetting over to take their orders. Apparently the sailor scout had caught the last part of Jerry's conversation.

"Oro ever the Hell ya wan, tomo. Oh er good morning to you, Cloey, Al, Sammy and goodmorning to you, sir. Cloey? Mikey's here ya know, don't ya? He's sitting right over there." teased Mako and Clovers's face soon matched the colour of her underwear!

"Mikey's got a big crush on Clover, 'Uncle'." whispered Alex.

"Who's this Mikey?" asked Jerry and Alex pointed aout the six and a half foot tall teenaged Ninja turtle seated at the next table over with Leo, Donnie and Raph, Casey Jones, April O'Neal, Sensei Master Splinter and holy Christ- the 'Shredder' himself1 Jerry of course did a double take!

"A t-t-turtle, a r-r-rat and a thing made out of m-m-metal?" stammered Alex's new 'uncle'.

"Oro is the matter, Mr Jerry, sir?" asked a white neko (cat) sitting on his feet and Jerry stared in horror. "Sorry, I er forgot that I was still in my neko form. It's so comfy not having to wear 'fuku' (clothing) all the time!" added Neko Olson.

Luna and Artemis (two 'magical' nekos belonging to the 'Mooneyite' sailor scouts) leaped up onto Alex and Sammy's laps. Likewise the white one (Neko) jumped up onto Jerry's lap and gave him a big 'Cheshire Cat' grin. "I would transform here and now to show you that I can look like a human but I do not have a stich to wear at the moment, kind sir." she giggled.

"Nice to see you spies again." murmurred the three nekos.

"They're coming to take me away! Ha ha! They're coming to take me away! Ho ho! Ha ha! Hee hee! They're coming to--" screeched Jerry Lewis until Revy slapped him across the jaw.

"Ya ain't seen Fxxxing shit yet, Gramps! Wait'll ya get a gander st our two Saiyaan behemoths,tomo and the Ninjas, demons, soul reapers, magicians, sorcerers, shikigamis, shinigamis, shinobis and the death gods not to mention all the alchemy freakazoids and BetaZoid loonies we got aboard this damned old rustbucket!" chortled the 'Creature from the Black Lagoon'.

"Oro the Fxxx did you just call my darling 'Angel', Suba Roberts?" snarled the redhead from Hell itself!

Here's Ch 12-Pt 1-Enjoy-K&K

DISCLAIMER: OK Mandy, 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 12 without further preamble:-

Chapter 12

'Oz Meets Wonderland?' or 'Turmoil On the Holodecks?'

"Welcome to my 'Ark in Space', Jerry. Mako! The usual onegai." called Kei as the speedy scout jetted past.

"There's a lion loose upstairs in the 'star room' (observation deck's observing room), Auntie Kei!" yelled an excited Usagi Serena (Sailor Moon aka Mooney) Tsukino a moment or two later when she dashed into the dining hall with her kimono all askew. Sammy cleared her throat.

"Maybe this isn't such a good time to er mention this but--" she began before Light Yagami and 'Ryuuk' the death good shinigami whom everyone could now see thanks to Legato's BetaZoid mind powers which enabled all to see 'Ryuuk' whether they had touched the 'Death Book' or not) rushed in to report seeing a chhsey looking robot up on Surface Level Three and Sammy tried again.

"So like I was saying, ma'am. We er--" tried the 'Valley' redhead again until--

"Yo! Somebody better tell that stupid red-headed bimbo captain of ours that we've got a walking scarecrow up on the command deck (Surface Level Nine)!" yelled Ichigo Kurosaki who was waving a fully charged Mark XIII ion cannon in their faces.

"Ichigo! Put that damned thing away before you hurt someone!" cried Rukia Kuchski who had followed him in, her Mark III miniblaster clutched in her right fist. Sammy was getting sick and tired of thse blasted interruptions but she plowed on ahead anyway.

"Now as I was saying, ma'am, before I was so rudely interrupted twice, I suppose that we had better--" Now Sammy was getting very annoyed with all of these break-ins to her attempts to tell Kei about Mandy! This time the interloper was a blonde girl of about 10 summers or so dressed in an old-fashioned pink and white pinafore.

"Excuse the intrusion, ladies and gentlemen but have any of you seen a tall white rabbit come by here in the last few minutes? He had on a red vest and striped trousers." she asked politely. Sammy blew her cool finally.

"I give up! Boss Lady, remember that dumbass bitch back home we told ya all about- Mandy? (Kei nodded abstractedly) Well she's here onboard your ship- upstairs asleep in our room. Alex bumped into her early this morning and--" This time around Sammy almost finished her sentence.

"If you please, ma'ams, sirs, do any of you know where the yellow brick road has gotten to? Can anyone please show us the way to the Emerald City? You see I've lost all three of my travelling companions." said another ten year old girl this one a brunette carrying a basket. She wore an aoishi (blue) and white checked gingham dress not quite as old-fashioned as the first kid's was. On her feet were ruby red slippers and in her arms was a small brown pooch she called 'Toto'.

"Don't tell me, Princess. Lemme guess. One's a lion, one's a tin guy with an axe and one's a raggedy ass scarecrow, right?" drawled Han Solo who was leaning against the bulkhead wall.

"Correct, sir but how did you know that?" asked the small girl with the bow-wow.

"Because the 'Wicked Witch of the West' and the 'Red Queen' just showed up in Engineering and scared the crap outta Donnie and Blackfire a few minutes ago. ('Teen Titan' Starfire's sister had been re-assigned to the 'Angel' from 'Starfleet' when the Boss had demanded a capable replacement for Ensign (now First Lieutenant) Elda Saavik who was the new Vulcan/Terran/'UG'/3WA/'Starfleet' liaison officer) So kid I'd say that's 'Toto' and you're Dorothy Gale from Kansas. That means Blondie must be Alice Ritter. You think you're in the 'Land of Oz' and she thinks this is 'Wonderland'. Am I right, darlin's?" explained the ex-pirate and ex-smuggler and both newbies nodded.

"Don't even tell me that we're gettin' characters right outta ancient Terran kids' fiction now! That is frigging impossible, ain't it?" snarled Revy Roberts.

"Not if those holodecks upstairs are malfunctioning it's not." said a tall smiling 'toff' (well-to-do gent circa late 19th through early 20th centuries on Terra) dressed in the fashion of ancient 1890's Terra.

"Harry?" asked Doctor Six.

"Hello there. Nice to see you again, my dear doctor. Anyhow just where do you suppose I just came from?" asked an amused HG Wells. Kei almost upset the table when she leaped to her feet.

"Enough of this Fxxxing shit already! One of ya get that screwball jackass on the vid relay and stat! Doc 'Q' has got a Helluva lotta explaining to do, that he sure as Hell does!" roared an irate Hellfire redhead.

"I let you two bozos (Doc 'Q' and Doc Von Bork) breach the damned continuum so as to get rid of these assholes and oro the Fxxx happens? You bring back even more of 'em! Now we're gettin' 'em from Terran kiddies' story books for Christ's sake! How do I know that? 'Cause Han recognized two of 'em and then harry Wells confirmed it! Who's he? You bakas never heard of Terra's own H G Wells? Yeah and he says it's a holodeck malfunction. Oro? You guys didn't cause it to happen? Then who the Hell-- Gomen Doc. Hold on a sec. I got another relay coming in on Tach Four. Yeah? Kei here. Hiya Ed. Look kid, I'm sorta busy here so how's about I trill ya back later? Oro? Have I seen your Winry? Ya means she ain't with you guys back there at the Academy? Nai? Shit! That explains a lot especially my Fxxxing holodeck malfunctionings I'll bet! I'll trill ya soon, kiddo. Ciao. Doc? Lemme get back to ya. I think I just figured out oro happened here! Oro's that, Doc? None that I know of, Doc. Nobody has left us recently. Why do ya ask? We sure as Hell ain't even nowheres near 'Warrior's Gate' yet, man! Believe you me- if anyone splits our scene around here you'll be the first one to know about it, tomo and ya can take that to the bank, me boyo! (This ref is from an old Steve Seagall flick- know which one?) Gotta go now. Sayonara and see ya soon. Kei out." said the Boss when she spoke to the 3WA's chief scientist a few minutes later in her ready room.

"Yo! Jonny? Kei here. Go down and check out the holodecks for me. You'll probably find a diipstick blonde automail mechanic who answers to Winry Rockabell screwing around with 'em. Have her repair my holodecks and then toss her ass into the damned brig! Why can't I handle it? Because I'd wring her damned fool neck, that's why! That's an order, Captain, so just do it Goddammit! Trill me back afterwards. Kei out." trilled Kei to her new security chief.

"Aye, Boss Lady, that I will surely do, yer royal highness. Harlock out." he trilled and headed for Surface level Eight. As we should all know by now (if we've been following the gals' exploits in Xmas w/ the DP) the 'Angel's holodecks are on Surface level Eight- one deck below Kei's command deck. When Jon Harlock got there he was almost run over by a wild-aizued maniac driving an ancient yellow Terran Fiat sports car and he was being chased by another baka lunatic driving an ancient and ugly Terran Land Rover runabout jeep!

"You'll never catch us in that piece of crap, Pops!" yelled a thirty-something guy with jet-black hair and dressed in an old-fashioned red sport coat over white bell-bottom trousers circa late 1960's Terra. His shirt was black and his skinny tie was yellow. The pursuer was shaking a balled up fist at the pursuee and shouting.

"I'll get you, Lupin (Loo-pon)! Just you wait!" hollered the chaser dude who was fortyish, dark-haired going grey, wearing an ancient brown suit underneath a grey trenchcoat. The 'Blonde Bomber' did a double take and sighed.

"Nai! It can't be! Don't tell me thy're back again!" howled Mae Hopkins.

"Who's back, Blondie?" growled Harlock.

"Lupin, sir. Arsene (Arr-son) Lupin, III. He's the guy that looks like Jerry Lewis (an ancient Terran comedian and no relation to the 'WOOHP' spygirls' boss) in that old yellow clunker. That other guy chasing him is Pops, er, Inspector Zenigata of Terra's 'Interpol' in that sorry ass looking jeep. The Druidy dude beside Lupin is Daisuke (Dice-kay) Jigen (Jee-gen) while the tall Samurai warrior is Goemon (Goy-ye-mon) and the cute swell looking brunette skirt er lady is Fujiko (Foo-jee-ko) Mine (Mee-nay) aka 'Fujicakes', Lupin's sometimes girlfriend. Those other guys with Pops must be 'Interpol' policemen, sir." explained the Terran Chicago 'cowgirl' after she had piulled Jonny back just in the nick of time so as to keep the Fiat from running his ass down!

Here's Ch 12-Pt 2 for ya-Enjoy-K&K

Another blonde babe in white coveralls (Winry Rockabell of course) was standing beside Holodeck Five when a black-cloaked and sword-wielding horseman astride a nightmare black steed swept through the portals and archway past them, snatched up the blonde and rode off with her, slashing the gantryway wall with a crude 'Z' (some feat to penetrate Kelvinite with a sword! The 'K' stuff is 100 times stronger than titanium and 1,000 times harder than adamite or diamond!) on his way down the stairs.

"Oro the Fxxxing Hell? In the name of Davy Jones, oro the Fxxx is going on aboard this madhouse?" cried the bucaneering brocadoccio. Mae Hopkins smiled and pointed down the staircase.

"I do believe that was 'Zorro', my dear Capitan and he seems to have just kidnapped our Winry too!" yelled Mae.

Suddenly a blinding white flash lit up the corridor like a phosphorescent plasma bomb and sixteen- count 'em- sixteen new beings (or old ones perhaps?) materialized out of nowhere!

Here's Ch 13-Pt 1 of AW-Enjoy-K&K

DISCLAIMER: OK Jonny, it's all yours! First, thank you to Mr. T for the use of his Angels. Arigatou a lot to everyone else who is letting us use their creations. How was that, Yuri? Great! Oh yes it was, Kei! Well, we left ya all up in the air last time around so let's get to Ch 13 w/o further preamble:-

Chapter 13

'Two Katanas Are Better Than One?' or 'Whose Woman Are You, Kaggie?'

It was InuYasha, Kagome, Sango, Miroku, Miyoga, Shippou, Kirara, Naraku, Kikyo, Kouga, Ayame, Ginta, Hakuku, Hatchi, Sesshomaru and Jaken.

"Inu Yasha! Shove your 'Tetsusaiga' (his demon slaying sword) into the floor in front of that holodeck door! That one that thew light's coming from! Hurry up!" cried kagome Higurashi and the hanyou complied although he and the others were still in a state of shock it seemed!

"How'd we end up back on the 'Angel'?" demanded Sango and she started to peel off her white kimono, however, she thought better of it when she noticed Hatchi holding up her black demon slayer uniform.

"How ain't important now, Sango! The damned holodeck thingy's busted and I can't use my 'Tetsusaiga' while it's stuck in the deck! Kagome! Find a phone and call up that dipstick redhead for some backup! Dammit all! Let's form a line and get ready for some action, gang!" yelled a grim-faced Inu yasha.

"Yo Mae! Did Winry Rockabell do this by any chance?" cried Kagome.

"Yeah, I think so, Kaggie." replied Mae Hopkins.

"Then you and 'Muscles' (Harlock) here better get after her. Trill Kei and tell her we'll try and hold 'em off as long as we can. Get moving!" yelled Kikyo's miko reincarnation and Bomber and Pirate took off for the stairs. Ayame and Kikyo surrounded Sango while she got into her demon slayer outfit. Just like the 'Seven Samurai' or the 'Magnificent Seven' Inu Yasha, Kagome, Kikyo, Naraku, Sango, Miroku and Kouga formed the first line of defense in front of the archway portals. The others formed up behind them while Miyoga, Jaken and Hatchi took off for parts unknown! When the going gets tough the cowards get going!

"Brace yourselves. Here they come." said Naraku grimly and the next thing they knew the portalway was inundated with storybook and fictional characters as well as a few 'real life' ones! So far the 'Tetsusaiga' was holding but after ten more minutes of intense fighting Inu Yasha's rusty old katana began to glow less brightly and soon afterwards it started to fade away! Sesshomaru shoved his own katana 'Tokijin' (Sess also carried 'Tenseiga' but all it could do was restore life so it was useless as far as the youkai was concerned!) into the deck floor beside his brother's sword.

"Even with my 'Tokijin' helping us out this damned barrier ain't gonna hold forever ya know so- where the Hell's our backup, Kaggie?" snarled one very pissed off inu youkai (dog demon).

"They're on their way, Sess. This time the trouble's not being caused by a hole in the universe, gang. It's a frigging holodeck malfunction just like Inu Yasha thought. Winry's probably been monkeying around with the 'arch' again. Kouga? When the cavalry gets here you and Ayame better follow Mae and Mr. Harlock. They might need some help rescuing Winnie from 'Zorro' and we need her to fix things here." said Kagome.

"My oh my! Oro a bloody mess we have here! Well let's just see oro I can do about it, folks." said a huge gargantuan raptor- a dinosaur thing! 'Dynamo' laid out his tools and got right down to work. Since all he'd done during his sojourn with Johnny Berringer and tomos was to keep the 'Starcrusher' spaceworthy and in tip-top shape along with the shuttlecrafts the High Council of the 'UG' had deemed him worthy of a second chance. Accordingly he had been assigned as an engineering 'troubleshooter' for the 'Angel 2' and had immediately volunteered to repair the holodecks. He chomped down on his cigar and grimaced.

"When Ms Rockabell shorted out the holodeck's 'archway' she must have inadvertently activated the transporters' circuitry and hey presto!- instant Feudal Era monsters right on cue!" he chortled.

"Monsters? Look oro's talkin' bout monsters! Ya look at yourself in a mirror lately, Godzilla?" growled Inu Yasha.

"Can you put things here to rights, sir? Hey there Wolfie (Kouga)- did I already ask that kawaii soul reaper babe (Rukia) to bear my children? I can never remember whom I've asked oro with all the moving around we've been doing of late. Did I ask that nice Miss Roberts I wonder?" said a puzzled Miroku.

'Dynamo' took out his cigar and pointed to the 'archway' controls. "Rest assured, my tomos. I can fix anything. Hmmn- a challenge eh? I like it! Dunno if ya asked Ms Kuchski or not but I'd sure as Hell like to be there when ya ask Ms Revy Roberts to have your kiddies, mon! She's one hot firecracker, that she is, mon! Hooray! Here come the 'roughriders' to the rescue, mon!" chuckled the raptor when a small army reached the holodeck and began firing stasis rifle bolts at the endless stream of invading characters.

"Great! Help has arrived. Kouga, take Ayame and go get Winry. Hurry up!" cried Kagome, firing yet another plasma bolt into the melee.

"Don't you let anything happen to my woman, ya mangy mutt! Yo! Ginta! Hakuku! Ayame! Let's motor!" yelled the wolf youkai leader who was already racing down the gantryway stairs.

'Dynamo' glanced at Sango curiously. "Are you really Mr Kouga's woman, lass?" he asked and Sango's face went crimson.

"God no, 'Dynamo'! I'm Miroku's woman! Er, let me put that another way- Kouga meant Kaggie, not me! Kagome is Kouga's woman!" explained Sango, bashing her 'hiraikotsu' (hee-ray-koo) or demon bone boomerang across the skull of Long John Silver of Treasure Island fame.

"Aargh! Damn ye, wench! I'll cut out yer bloomin' gizzard for ye! Have at 'em, me hearties!" roared the Robert Louis Stevenson pirate creation.

Here's Ch 13-Pt 2-Enjoy-K&K

Now it was Kagome's turn to get mad. "Kouga's woman? The Hell I am, Sango! I love Inu Yasha! I mean- I'm nobody's woman! I'm my own woman er girl! Got that?" cried Kagome.

"Avast ye there, me hearty! Unhand that lady, my dear sir! At once, me boyo or ye'll feel me steel, sir!" snarled Captain Jonathan Harlock and he unsheathed his cutlass (a sword not a pistol like Revy's 'Cutlasses').

"Put her down, Mr Zorro, sir or I'll blow ya to smithereenies, that I will!" yelled the Bomber, a chunk of 'nitroglycine' (a plastique explosive a thosand times more powerful than nitroglycerin, TNT or even good old fulminate of mercury) in her mitts.

"Nai! Blondie! No! Ye'll kill us all, love! I challange ye, sirrah! En garde, senor (sen-yor)!" cried Jon, dropping into a 'gashuu' (ga-showl) fighting stance and extending his blade. Just then there was a thundering of hooves and a small phalanx of horsemen came galloping around the corner of the hallway!

"Commandante! It is 'Zorro'! Go and get him, Corporal! What are you waiting for? Go!" yelled a pompous and overweight sergeant of the army of 16th Century Terran Spain.

"Que? Me? Sergeant Garcia! He already has a hostage and she is muy guapa (very pretty)! I cannot hurt him without also hurting her!" said the corporal reasonably. The Commondante exploded.

"Sergeant! That muchacha (girl) is none of our concern! Why she doesn't even look Spanish! Arrest him! Arrest 'Zorro'! Now!" he yelled out angrily.

'Zorro' (he is 'the fox so cunning and free. His blade makes the sign of the 'Z') turned in his saddle and kissed a startled Winry before he gently lowered her to the floor. "Something to remember me by, my lovely senorita (sen-yor-rita). (Whoosh-whoosh-whoosh!) Adios muchachos!" he cried and slashed a large 'Z' across Winry's chest deep enough to cut cloth but not deep enough to cut her flesh using a trio of swordstrokes in quick succession. Then off he rode towards the lift banks. He had left a huge 'Z' carved into and through Winry's jumper all the way to her undergarments! He had not harmed the frightened maiden but so deep was the gash that the blonde's shocking pink brassiere and bikinibriefs were clearly visible!

"No time to dilly dally now, wench! You must fix the holodecks for me dear Katie!" said a gallant Jon. Helping her to her feet he took the fur cloak proferred by Ayame and wrapped it around the girl's slender form. Then Ayame secured it using her own woven reed swordbelt. Reluctantly Mae Hopkins returned the 'nitroglycine' to her pouch and followed the rest of the party up the gantryway stairs.

"Kei? You there? This is Mae. Over." trilled the Bomber.

"Yeah? Kei here. Oro? Over." trilled the Boss impatiently. "There are two oro chasing each other around my ship? Repeat that, Mae. A Fiat and a Land Rover? You sure? Hai, I'll check it out. Of course we gotta do something about it! It's OK, kiddo. I'll handle it. You guys did good. See ya later. Kei out." she trilled and Mae signed off too.

n hour or so later saw the holodecks and the transporters back up and running smoothly once again. "I just wanna say a big arigatou to ya for helping us out down on the holodecks, Inu Yasha. You and yer pals really saved our bacon this time! Stay together and try and keep Ms Rockabell outta mischief. Winry, you listening? I hope so 'cause against my better judgment I'm givin' ya another chance but you Fxxx up just one more time and your ass is goin' into my brig, got it? (The blonde nodded and clutched her borrowed cloak tightly) OK then you'll be stayin' with Kaggie and her tomos. You guys remember where ya stayed last time ya was here? (They nodded) Well that's gonna be yer home sweet home for the duration of this mission. 'Dynamo'? Many thanks for helping to repair my holodecks and transporters. (The huge raptor beamed and smiled. Kei glanced at her wristchromo) OK folks, time for some chow. Harry, onegai stay for a bit. The rest of ya can go to din-din. Dismissed." said the Boss Lady with a wave of dismissal.

"Ya wanna know why on Terra I am still here with you, right Boss? (Kei nodded) And why are all the storybook stoogies still around eh? (Kei nodded again albeit a mite impatiently) Well I just don't know, mum. Hopefully whatever ya do at this 'Gate' of yours will send us all back home. That's all I know about it, mum. Honest it is. Can I get my supper now before all of that Heavenly London Broil and Yorkshire pudding of Mr Tracey's disappears?" asked H G Wells wistfully. Kei nodded curtly and ushered him out of her ready room.

"You are quite welcome, mum!" he said to the closed portal and then Wells strolled down the gantryway stairs.

Didn't know if I could post links here or not so I posted at my yahoogroups club (animeontv) instead. They are 14 anime purchasing websites. All take debit/credit cards, cheques, money orders, some even take cash. I just got Mom Vols 1-6 (dubbed) of Witchblade the series @ less than $18/DVD for a total of less than $130 for all 6.

Funimation I learned has dubbed versions of many many animes.

Ch 13 through 16 of Angel Wings posted here and at ff.net. Profile page updated today (6/26/08) where Ch titles for 1-16 inclusive are listed. Don't miss Kai Doh Maru tonight on SciFi (Ch 47 Comcast) at 11 PM ET- worth a look even if it ain't a series. Just a 2 hr anime film about Feudal Japan and a Samurai warrior girl. A bit thin in places but very historical but there's no closure to the tale.

Just posted Ch 17 here and at ff.net too. Updated Profile page here too. Lots of cool anime and other stuff there. I've added some really new and cool (in more ways than one!) characters to my AW ff and I'll bet ya cannot guess in a million years (unless you've been following my profiles) who or even what they are. Give it a gander and lemme know how ya like 'em. Ch 18 has more adventure, dangers, thrills, humourous fun and excitement than 17 has. Toodles for now.

Gotta split but have a great weekend. Toodles-K&K

ANGEL WINGS

DISCLAIMER: OK Fujicakes, 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 14 without further preamble:-

Chapter 14

'Lock Up Your Valuables- Lupin's Back!' or 'Peri Makes A New Tomo'

"Hey Lupin! What's happening here? The damned car's starting to glow, man and I ain't been dropping any acid today either! Wow! Now you're like startin' to shimmer and shake, old pal!" cried Daisuke (Dice-Kay) Jigen.

"Look there, guys! Pops and his goons just disappeared! Lupin? Where in the nine Hells are we anyway?" yelled Fujicakes worriedly.

"Montmartre of course! Where the oni do ya think we are, Fujicakes?" replied Lupin.

"Hey! Get outta the way, ya stupid baka! Ya wanna get run over?" yelled the descendant of the greatest art thief in the history of Terran France indeed of all of Terran Europe too!

"I say there- do any of you chaps know where the tea party is, sirs or madam? I am already quite tardy, I am sure! Oh bother! Where is that child with my hat, coat, gloves and fan? Can't stand around here talking to idiots all day, now can I? Must dash. Cheerio." said a very impatient six foot tall white rabbit in waistcoat and striped trousers circa 19th Century Terran Britain. The fellow was even holding an enormous turnip of a pocket watch- a Hunter!

They had no time to speculate on oro they had just seen because in the next second Lupin's yellow Fiat vanished the same way that Zenigata's Rover had just vamoosed!

"There, that's that. Both Pops and Lupin as well as their cars and their tomos are down in the bays, Kome. Go on down there and bring all of 'em up to the dining hall. The Boss'll have to decide oro to do with 'em, kiddo. I've done my part and transported 'em off the holodeck and I'm off. I'll save you a seat at my table. See ya soon. Arigatou." said Rally Vincent.

"I sure as Hell ain't goin' down there all by my lonesome! All of those loonies are armed to the friggin' teeth! Yo there! Rukia! Ichigo! Light! Ryuuk! Villa! Dominique! Front and centre! Kome here. Meet me at the lift banks on Surface Seven. We're goin' down to the bays to pick up some prisoners. That's an order, gang. Kome out." she trilled and it really felt great to be finally giving orders (and having them obeyed!) now since her brand spanking new 'Lieutenant's (2nd Lt. j.g.) silver bars were gleaming on her new epaulettes. Her promotion had come through right after Mar's had, however, Mar was wearing silver railroad tracks rather than bars now since she had just made 'Captain'. Meanwhile down in the bays--

"Lupin! You've really gone and done it now, haven't you? I hereby arrest you in the name of 'Interpol'." said Inspector 'Pops' Zenigata, snapping handcuffs on Lupin's wrists.

"On oro charge, Pops?" asked an amused Arsene Lupin, III.

"As if you didn't know already! Grand theft of course! You've stolen the shimatta Eiffel Tower!" yelled Zenigata.

"Are you baka or just plain nuts, you loopy fruitcake? How the Hell did we manage to swipe the Eiffel Tower while you and your goons have been right on our asses all the way from Gare du Nord to the Champs Elysee?" demanded Fujiko Mine, however, she obediently held out her wrists and allowed the cute Interpol corporal to snap the cuffs on her demure wrists.

"I'm surprised he didn't try to say we took the Arc de Triomphe into the bargain, Lupin?" said Jigen.

"Where's the Seine (River), guys?" asked a puzzled Goemon.

"See! They've stolen the Tower, the Arch and the friggin' river too!" cried Zenigata triumphantly.

"Then oro'd I do with 'em if I heisted 'em? We ain't done no capers for the last week, Pops!" explained an impatient Lupin.

"OK. If you didn't lift 'em, Lupin then where are they? I've really got you and your tomos this time, pal of mine!" chortled Pops with satisfaction.

"Look around ya, Pops! Does this place even look like old Paree?" chuckled Lupin as he handed the bracelets back to the inspector.

"Oh Christ! No! Lupin, this place looks a Helluva lot like those loony space freakazoid broads' starship we were on last month, man!" cried Jigen, taking a long pull from his silver pocket flask.

"Yes, Jigen seems to be quite correct in his assumption. This does appear to be the 'Lovely Angel 2' indeed. (Jigen offered his flask) Nai arigatou (No thanks). I prefer Sake (Soh-Kee), tomo watashi." replied the Samurai.

"Suit yourself, pal. Here, Pops. Have a snort. Sake? Ya know why they call it that, don't ya? 'Cause it tastes like it was strained through a pair of dirty gym socks, tomo!" laughed the Druid guy.

"Thank you but no. You know that I am not allowed to drink on duty, son!" admonished the Interpol police agent.

"Look here Pops- if Jigen's right and unfortunately he usually is- you're way outta your jurisdiction, Zenigata so go ahead and live a little. How's about a truce, old man? Like we had last time we were here?" suggested Lupin, offering the flask which Pops took and drained to the very last drop.

"Hey! Ya drank all of it, man!" complained Jigen morosely.

"Not to worry, Jigen. As I recall this ship is always well stocked with all kinds of booze." observed Fujicakes.

"Ya got that right, girlie! Lose all your hardware, folks. Hand where I can see 'em. Pat their asses down and cuff 'em, Neko. (The shapeshifting catwoman pointed to the Interpol agents and Pops) Yeah. Them too. Especially big mouth there (Pops). Afterwards we are all gonna sit here quietly and wait for the rest of the troops. Smoke 'em if ya got 'em." said Revy Roberts.

Neko Olson relieved everyone of their artillery and cutlery including Fujicakes's leg-holstered derringer. Then she force beam hancuffed the lot of them and these 'darbies' were something that not even the great Lupin himself could get out of (or so it seemed at the time!) and a few minutes later the 'troops' did arrive.

"Hey! What in the nine Hells is 'that' thing?" yelled Jigen when he espied Ryuuk hovering beside Light Yagami.

"It must be our past misdeeds catching up to us! It is a 'jur-on' (a curse or haunting) and we are all doomed!" cried Goemon.

"My Kami! It looks like Freddy Krueger on steroids, man!" screeched Fujiko.

"Nai, it seems to be more of a cross twixt Michael Myers and Jason Voorhees, don't ya think?" suggested Lupin.

"Well, I don't know oro the oni it is but I do know this- it's under arrest! Read it its rights and slap the bracelets on it!" growled Pops but his agents merely held aloft their handcuffed mitts.

"Oro the Hecuo Mundo (Hollow Land or Hell) are you guys yapping about now? Huh? Oh hi there, Ryuuk. Hullo, Light." said Revy.

"That is a 'shinigami', a death god and he won't hurt you, folks." said Rukia.

ANGEL WINGS

"The Boss wants to see ya so let's get a move on, gents, ma'am." said Ichigo, motioning with his Mark XIII.

"Look here, sonny boy. I am an officer of the law same as you are and--" began Pops Zenigata.

"I am a substitute soul reaper. Rukia's the real deal. Mr. Villa and Ms. Dominique are both bounty hunters. Revy's a merc (mercenary) and Neko there is a pirate. Light here well he's for want of a better term- an exterminator and Ryuuk is a death god shinigami like Rukia just said. Now let's motor." commanded Ichigo Kurosaki.

"There ain't no such animals as 'death gods', 'shinigamis', 'soul reapers' and the like, sonny boy. Now if you will just release me and my boys here I'll forget that this incident ever even happened." offered Zenigata. Ichigo smiled and shook his head. Then he prodded Pops with the Mark.

"You've had your explanations, Pops so you and your stooges get over there with Mr. Lupin and his tomos and we'll all go upstairs to dinner. March!" commanded Lieutenant Kome Sawaguchi.

"Come now, Ensign. You know all of us so you just know you can trust us. Right?" wheedled Lupin in his silky voice which was lost on Kome.

"Sorry but it's 'Lieutenant' now, sir." she snapped.

"Did you say 'Loo-ten-ant'? They made 'you' a second Looey?" said a startled Fujicakes.

"OK. No more Mr. Nice Guy! I demand that you release us at once, girl! I outrank you, Lieutenant! I am an Inspector in the Prefecture of Police and that's the same as a Captain!" roared Zenigata. Kome grinned.

"Maybe you think you do sir but that would be on Terra not here and certainly not on 'my' turf you don't, Pops! Now- move it or lose it!" she snarled.

"OK. OK. Ya don't need to tell us twice, Lieutenant! Let's go, gang." said Lupin while Pops and his cronies reluctantly fell into step behind them. And when they all trooped into the dining hall on Surface Two a few moments later--

"Nai, they don't have to go to the brig this time, Kome. However, I don't want any of you guys playing automobile racing tag on my ship anymore- is that clear, boys? (Pops and Lupin nodded) Good. Get yourselves some chow. After that Kome'll find some quarters for ya. There's gonna be a briefing ashiata morning at 1100 hours that's eleven AM guys in the rec room next door. Be there on time. After you've eaten you can do oro the Hell ya wanna do except destroy the 'Angel'. See ya in the morning. You're dismissed." said the redheaded Boss Lady rising to her feet and shaking hands with all of them in turn. She turned to the strawberry blonde lieutenant.

"Tell Mar that I'll be in my quarters but I don't wanna be disturbed unless another galactic war breaks out. Understand?" added Kei and Kome nodded.

As she departed-- "Hey Boss Lady?" called Lupin.

"Yeah?" she replied without turning around.

"I just thought that you er might like these space age manacles back, ma'am." he replied and tossed Kei several sets of force beam handcuffs.

"Arigatou, kiddo. Anything else?" she said abstractedly. Kei was used to Lupin's abilities when it came to prestidigitation.

"Well er ya might need these back, ma'am." chuckled the suave and sophisticated thief holding up a red wallet, a red/white holovid ID pass, a Mark XIII and a laser sword hilt. Kei slapped her pockets in turn and then stared at him with an astonished look on her face.

"How in the nine Fxxxing Hells did ya manage that one?" she demanded but Lupin wagged a finger at the Marshall and shook his head.

"A good magician never ever reveals his secrets, mum. Sorry. Have a good evening all. Toodles." he replied and hastened after the others. Jigen handed the redhead her possessions, tipped his hat and followed his leader to the table. Kei shrugged her shoulders and dropped her stuff back into her pockets before walking up the gantryway steps to her rooms.

Doctor Six greeted Lupin and his tomos as well as Pops and his lackeys. Then he introduced them to his 'ward' Perpigillian Winkle Brown. Apparently the thieves and the coppers already knew Inu Yasha and his pals who were sharing the table with them.

"Hiya. Just call me Peri. I'm new around here too. I er came in from Miami." said the pert brunette.

"Miami eh? Hey Lupin? Didn't we pull a few heists in that city?" asked thew Druid-y guy Jigen. Lupin feigned shock.

"Heists? Why Mr. Jigen- whatever do you mean? Oro are you talking about?" he replied with a warning gaze at Pops who seemed totally engrossed in his din-din.

"So er Peri dear- have you been given a shipboard assignment or a job yet?" asked Fujiko, deftly changing the subject.

"Yes indeed I have, Miss Fujiko. I am the ship's yeoman (clerk) s th
