The Era of Apocalypse

Original by Victor Von Doom
MiSTing by Spider

Well, here we go again! This is my third misting, and I haven't been
flamed yet, so I must be doing something right(or at least, I must not be
doing too much wrong...) Anyway, Sailor Moon belongs to Naoko Takeuchi, the
X-men belong to Marvel comics, and this fanfic belongs to Victor Von Doom
(the fanfic author, not the FF villian.) No insult is intended to him or his
work, and I realize he put some effort into this fic, so let's not flame the
nice man, okay? As always, all flames, death threats, comments, and
questions can be sent to Spider256@hotmail.com

[Bridge of the SOL. Gypsy enters from the left.]
Gypsy: This doesn't look good... oh, hi! I'm Gypsy, and this is the
Satellite of Love. This really isn't the best time for a visit, though.
You see, Dr. F finally managed to break Joel's will, and... oh great, now
the mads are calling again.

[Deep 13. TV's Frank is there by himself, looking worried.]
Frank: So, uh, Gypsy... how are Joel and the bots doing?

[SOL]
Gypsy: I don't know, I haven't even seen them for hours.

[Deep 13]
Frank: [nervous] Well, actually, that's because I kind of... sent them
another movie.

[SOL]
Gypsy: You WHAT?! They've already had the will to live sucked out of them!
Another movie right now might kill them! Besides, you've already thrown the
worst that Ed Wood, Roger Corman, and Stephen Ratliff have to offer at them!
What's left to send them?!

[Deep 13]
Frank: Psycho, actually.

[SOL]
Gypsy: Ps... Psycho? As in Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho?

[Deep 13]
Frank: You're welcome.

[SOL]
Gypsy: But why would you...?

[Deep 13]
Frank: Call it a guilt attack. I had this weird dream last night, and Joel
was there, and Tom, and Crow, and some guy named Mike... [shakes head] look,
let's just say I was trying to make up for Manos.

[Dr. Forrester enters from the right.]
Dr. F: Frank, what are you doing?
Frank: Uh, nothing sir, just gloating evilly.
Dr. F: Great! Keep up the good work! [Exits the scene]
Frank: Whew. Anyway, the movie should be ending just about now...

[SOL. By a staggering coincidence, Joel, Tom, and Crow enter the scene at
that exact moment.]
Tom: That was great!
Joel: Yeah... you know, Psycho's just one of those movies that keeps getting
better every time you see it.
Crow: Hey look, it's TV's Frank!
Tom: How ya doin', buddy?

[Deep 13]
Frank: Pretty good... look guys, I hate to do this, but Dr. F's got one last
experiment ready to finish you off once and for all.

[SOL]
Joel: Uh-oh.
Tom: Hey, no problem!

[Deep 13]
Frank: It's a Sailor Moon/X-men crossover...

[SOL]
[Joel and Crow exchange glances.]
Tom: No problem!

[Deep 13]
Frank: Starring Rini...

[SOL]
Joel: Ohboy.
Tom: Well... no problem!

[Deep 13]
Frank: By Victor Von Doom.

[SOL]
Joel: [flinches]
Tom: [weakly] No... problem...
Gypsy: Good luck, guys.
Joel: Thanks, I think we're gonna need it, 'cause WE'VE GOT FANFIC SIGN!!!

> The Era of Apocalypse

Joel: They killed off Professor X again?
Tom: I'm dead! No, wait, now I'm back again! Now I'm dead! Now I'm back!
Now I'm dead! Now I'm back! Now I'm-say, is this bugging you?

> Tokyo's International Airport, 20 :30 hr. an airtrafic controller receives

Crow: Hello? Why yes, my refrigerator is running!

> -Tokyo's International Airport, please identify yourself

Joel: Well, I'm a really big area in Tokyo where planes land, and I recieve
flights from other countries...

> -Good evening Tokyo, this is the Blackbird, Cyclops leader of the X-Men
> speaking, we request permission to land due to technical problems.

Crow: One moment, please. Hey, boss, there's an outlaw parahuman strike
force coming in for a landing! What should we do with them?
Tom: Jeez, another one? All right, put 'em with Spawn and Gen13. Maybe
they can network or something.

> -Permission granted, you may land on land strip 5.

>

> Minutes later the Blackbird landed and it's occupants descended from it.

>

> -OK Beast, what do you think ?

Joel: [Cyclops] Are you pondering what I'm pondering, Henry?
Crow: [Beast] I think so, Scott, but... just what is an electric boogaloo,
anyway?

> -It will take about three days to fix it, Cyclops.

>

> -Then we must find a place to stay.

>

> After this the X-Men ( Professor X, Cyclops, Jean Grey, Beast, Storm,
> Wolverine, Jubilee, Rogue and Gambit) lefted the airport and headed towards
> a hotel.

All: [chuckle]
Joel: All this time, and Vic still hasn't realized that 'lefted' isn't a
word...
Tom: In a way, it's kind of comforting. I guess some things never change.

> The next morning Logan (this is Wolverine's name and will be used during

> Michiru were at the same mall, Haruka noticed their presence and stood

Tom: [Michiru] Um, remember me, darling? No one special, just the love of
your life...

> -Are you OK ?

Crow: [Haruka] I wasn't staring! I mean... yeah, I'm fine!

> -uh...yeah, let's go.

>

> They continued their way, on the other side of the mall Serena, Ami, Lita,
> Rei and Mina
> along with their guardian cats Luna and Artemis entered the mall,

>

> -Mina look at that hunk, isn't he cute ?

>

> -Yeah...but he has a girlfriend already...

>

> -huh ? How can you be so sure ? Maybe she is his sister...

>

> -SERENA ! !

Tom: [falsetto] Yes, I'm Serena... but who are you? And who was talking a
second ago?
Joel: [ditto] Wasn't that you? Wait a minute, who am I?

> -What is it Rei ?

>

> -Aren't you forgetting something ?

>

> -What ?

Crow: [falsetto] The reason we're putting a space in front of our
punctuation !
Tom: [ditto] I am ?
Crow: Yes, you are !
Tom: Oops ! Sorry !

> -Darien.

>

> -he he...

>

> -But I'm going to find out ! !

Tom: [falsetto] I'll find out which one of us is talking, or die trying!

> With this Mina followed them and then when Gambit was looking for a deck of

Tom: [falsetto] All right, given Gambit's current velocity in kilometers per
hour, taking into account his estimated trajectory and the amount of force
required to make a sufficient impact, if I increase my speed by
approximately 0.05 km/s, I should-no, wait! I forgot to carry the-

Crow: If this were about anyone else, I'd assume he meant 'left', but these
are the X-men we're talking about...

> -We have to find her ! !

Crow: [random x-man] She's still unconscious! I'd better give her mouth to mouth!
Tom: [ditto] No, I'd better give her mouth to mouth!

Crow: [random x-man] Wow, those legs really do go all the way up!
Joel: Uh, guys? Aren't we taking this a little too far?

Joel: I don't know, you saw it last!
Tom: [groans]
Crow: Did you have to make that joke?
Joel: Well, someone had to.

Crow: [X-men] You ignorant fools you dare to dishonor our proffessor and for
that we will attack you with our mutant powers which will succeed in
destroying you hahaha ! ! !
Joel: You know, all jokes aside, not many authors can really capture that
'badly dubbed' feel in text.

All: [awed silence]
Joel: My god...
Tom: Now that's a run on sentence!
Crow: Uh-oh, I think I see another one coming... battle stations, everybody!
All: [hide under the seats]

> Outside of the building Wolverine was about to finish Sailor Mars who was

> simultaneously two other Sailor Scouts showed up, they were Sailor Uranus

> suddenly all of them stopped the battle when they heard a voice in their

Crow: [Peeks out] Is... is it over?
Joel: I think so... for now, at least.
All: [get back up]

> -ENOUGH ! ! ! STOP THIS SENSELESS WAR AT ONCE ! !

>

> -Sailor Moon what shall we do ?
> Asked Sailor Jupiter

Tom: [falsetto] Stop this senseless war at once. Weren't you paying
attention?

> -I...I don't know this is weird..

Joel: [falsetto] I think it's weird, but I'm not completely sure...
Tom: Brace yourselves guys, here comes another run-on sentence!
Crow: Oh no, not another one!

> Suddenly the bald man got closer to her and laid a finger on her forehead,

Tom: SLEEP!

> Serena felt a strange energy going through her body which made her fall to
> her knees,

Joel: Er... could this be interpereted as something dirty, or have I been
hanging around Crow for too long?
Tom: Yes.

> suddenly she started to see images showing her who this
> individuals were, the way they became the X-Men and the enemies they fought
> ending with the strange storm that forced their land on Tokyo,

Joel: [Xavier] You know, Ororo, if you wanted to go to Japan that badly,
you could have just asked...

> at the same
> time Professor Xavier saw the story behind the Sailor Scouts, the way the
> Moon Kingdom was destroyed and their reborn, he also saw their fight
> against Queen Beryl and the Negaverse, then against Black Moon and the
> destruction of Sailor Saturn, he even saw why Mina crashed against Rogue
> that morning.

Tom: [weakly] All right... I think it's over.
Joel: I don't know how many more run-on sentences I can take...

> -So you are Sailor Moon.- Tell me why you and your friends attacked us.

Crow: [falsetto] You just learned my complete history up to this point five
seconds ago! You've forgotten already?
Tom: Well, all that mind-melding and whatnot can't be good for your short
term memory.

> -We thought that you were enemies because you kidnapped Mina.

>

> -I see. Let me explain, we had to take her here because we don't like to
> show our powers in public,

Crow: And they needed to use their powers because...?
Joel: [Beast] I can't figure out why her condition keeps getting worse!
Quick, try hitting her with another lightning bolt!

> people does not understand the nature of our power and fear us,
> unfortunately your supprise attack forced us to use our powers to defend
> ourselves, I hope your friends are OK.

Joel: Yeesh, they even talk in run-on sentences...

> -Thanks...
> She started to look around for them noticing that Rei wasn't around,
> suddenly the door opened and Wolverine entered the room carrying Sailor
> Mars in his arms, simultaneously Rogue entered through the window with
> Sailor Chibi Moon on her arms as well.- In other area of the room Jubilee
> was taking care of Sailor Mercury.

Tom: Permanently, if you take my meaning... heh heh heh...
Joel: Actually, Doom's fics do tend to be fatal for the senshi.

> -Here.- Put this on your eyes it will take the pain away and will allow
> you to open them.

>

> -What did you do to me ?

Joel: [Mercury] I don't want you to heal me! I want to be put out of my
misery!

> -Just a first degree burn in order to blind you, and...uh...I think you and
> your friends should use other kind of uniforms you know.

>

> -Why ?

>

> -Well, uh let's put it this way girl, they are too provocative.

>

> Ami blushed to a deep red when she heard such thing.

Joel: Oh, well, I-huh?
Tom: [Doom] Ha! Sentence structure is for the weak!

> In other side of the room Rei awaked and started to look around, when she
> noticed the presence of the X-Men she got ready to start the battle but
> Sailor Moon stopped her.

Joel: [falsetto] NO! For the love of God, Rei, I can't take any more run-on
sentences!

> -The war is over Sailor Mars, they are friends not enemies, at the same
> time Sailor Uranus and Sailor Saturn entered the room, when Haruka saw the
> burn in Logan's uniform she rushed to help him but was supprised when she
> saw that the burn was completely healed, Logan was also supprised by the
> strange display of care.
> -Don't worry, I can heal myself...

>

> -Oh...anyway let me put this on.

Crow: Uh, do you really think you should wear that in public, honey?
Joel: Now, Crow...

> She took a piece of fabric from her bow and placed it around Logan's arm,
> Rogue noticed this.

>

> -I don't know about you but I think that this girl is dying for Logan.

Joel: Wolverine, no! Put the claws away-no, not the jugular! Great, now
there's blood all over the walls again...

> -I think you are right.

>

> The Sailor Scouts, specially Neptune, were also supprised.

>

> -Correct me if I'm wrong but it's Uranus the one that's helping Wolverine ?

> -Yep. Indeed he is Jupiter,

Joel: [falsetto] Wait, if he's Jupiter, than who am I? For that matter,
who's 'he'? And who are you?!

> something tells me that they are in...

>

> She couldn't finish a huge thunder was heard and a voice was heard.

Joel: Gyah! Wolverine, do you mind?
Tom: Of all the disgusting... somebody open a window or something!
Crow: [Wolverine] I knew I was gonna regret that third order of refried
beans...

> -BOW TO ME ! ! ! I AM APOCALYPSE AND I WILL RULE THE WORLD ! ! ! !

Crow: You know, you can always tell a really great villian by the amount of
exclamation points he uses.
Tom: [Apocalypse] BOY, IT SURE IS A GOOD THING MY ARCH-ENEMIES THE X-MEN
AREN'T AROUND TO FOIL MY EVIL SCHEME!

> Next chapter : A Sacrifice of love

Crow: An... SOL?
[pause]
All: Nah.

> One of the Sailor Scouts will sacrifice herself to protect a loved one,
> keep checking to find out who ! !

Tom: Oh, we will... not that we have any choice in the matter.
Joel: C'mon, guys, let's get out of here while we can.

[Tom is hovering in place, and seems to be concentrating on something. The
others are nowhere to be found.]
Tom: Well, here goes nothing...
[Tom hesitates for a moment, and then throws himself forward on the ground.]
THUD
Tom: Ow!
[He gets back up, takes a deep breath, and repeats the process.]
THUD
Tom: Ow!
[Then he does it again.]
THUD
Tom: Ow!
[And again.]
THUD
Tom: Ow!

[Joel enters from the left.]
Joel: Hi, Tom.
Tom: Hmm? Oh, hi, Joel.
THUD
Tom: Ow!
Joel: I just know I'm going to regret asking this, but... what are you
doing?
Tom: Oh, nothing.
THUD
Tom: Ow!
Joel: Oh. Okay.
THUD
Tom: Ow!

[Crow enters from the left.]
Crow: Hi, guys.
Tom: Hi, Crow.
Joel: Hi, Crow.
THUD
Tom: Ow!
Crow: Still haven't got the hang of facefaulting, huh?
Tom: Oh, like you could do any better.
Joel: That's what you're trying to do? Facefault?
Tom: Well, yeah! I mean, with all the Sailor Moon I've been subjected to
over the years, you'd think I'd be a natural!
Joel: Look, facefaulting isn't something you can force. It has to come
naturally.
Tom: Yeah, I guess you're right...
Joel: Don't worry, you'll get the hang of it eventually.

[Commercial sign light starts to flash.]
Joel: We'll be right back.
Crow: Say, how do you know so much about facefaulting, anyway?
Joel: Oh, I went to Japan once when I was back on Earth. Learned from this
guy I met there-something-or-other Saotome. Nice guy. A little weird,
though...

[Commercials]

[Bridge of the SOL. Joel, Tom and Crow enter from the left.]
Joel: Er, you wanted to see us, sir?

[Deep 13. Dr. Forrester, is standing in the foreground, smiling much too
sweetly. Screams can be heard coming from offscreen.]
Dr. F: Hello, Joel. Frank seems to have had a sudden attack of pity, and
actually sent you a good movie for once-
Frank: [from off-screen] AIIIEE!!!
Dr. F: --which he is being punished for even as we speak. [shakes head] I
certainly didn't plan on all of this, but I suppose there's no use crying
over spilt milk... anyway, boobies, since your spirits obviously aren't
broken anymore, let's begin this week's invention exchange, hmm?

[SOL. Crow exits to the left.]
Joel: Well sir, we haven't been in any condition to invent anything lately,
but we do have an invention for just such an emergency somewhere around
here...

[Crow re-enters Cambot's view, carrying what appears to be a modified
snowblower.]
Joel: Ah, here we go. You see, one of the latest crazes where video games
are concerned is 'pre-rendered graphics.' From the Final Fantasy series to
Resident Evil to Parasite Eve, lately everyone seems to love the rendered
look. We're not exactly sure why, but our invention is designed to take
advantage of this.

[Joel takes the invention from Crow and turns it on. Semi-transparent goop
begins to shoot out of the nozzle, which he proceeds to spray over everyone
and everything in his path.]
Joel: [shouting to be heard over the machine] Our 'Laminator 9000' gives any
household object that high-gloss, pre-rendered, plasticky look, thus
lessening the pain of actually having to stop playing video games and
experience the real world! We realize it's not much, but we're working day
and night in this field of study, and it's only a matter of time before we
can make the line between fantasy and reality completely indistinguishable!
What do you think, sir?

[Deep 13]
Dr. F: An interesting toy, Joel... but nothing compared to my latest
creation. Watch closely, Joel, you're about to see history in the making!
Frank, if you'd be so kind as to bring in the invention... Frank? Frank?
Frank: [o.s.] YEEAAARRGH!!!
Dr. F: Oh, fine, I'll get it.
[Dr. Forrester walks off screen, and after a few minutes comes back with a
huge sattelite dish hooked up to a computer system of some sort. The entire
contraption is on a cart, which Dr. F is dragging behind him.]
Dr. F: Honestly, it's so hard to find good help these days... anyway, this
little device right here is going to make me the undisputed ruler of Earth!
I give you... the De-literator Mark IV!

[SOL]
Joel: De-literator?
Tom: Sure, Clay. Whatever.

[Deep 13]
Dr. F: [grins] I see you need some... convincing. Joel, you have a few books
with you up there, right?

[SOL]
Joel: A few, yeah...

[Deep 13]
Dr. F: Would you mind reading one out loud? [Reaches back and flips a switch
on the machine, which suddenly begins to whirr]

[SOL]
Joel: Well, I don't see why not... [reaches under the counter and brings out
a book] How about this: The Collected Works of Sherlock Holmes. [clears
throat] "Part 1: Being a reprint from the reminiscences of John H. Watson,
M.D., late of the Army Medical Department..." [pauses] Hey, the words got
all blurry! Wait, never mind... I must have imagined it.

[Deep 13]
Dr. F: [grinning] Of course. By all means, continue.

[SOL]
Joel: Oh, right. Anyway... "'Evasive maneuvers, fire phasers, LT. Yarr,'
Lueitenant Richard Casteel said as three Romulan warbirds sircled the
enterprise-C casually-" AAAAGH!! Wait a minute... th-this is 'Enterprized'!
Tom: What? Let me see that... my God, it IS Enterprized! Right down to the
spelling mistakes!
Crow: [rummaging around under the counter] Gack! All the books are like
this! Artemis' Lover! the Eye of Argon! Even SMAK! Every book on the SOL's
been replaced with a bad fanfic!

[Deep 13]
Dr. F: Correction, boobies-every book on the PLANET's been replaced with a
bad fanfic! How long do you think the world's population can last before
their pitiful minds snap, hmm?

[SOL]
Joel: [horrified] Dr. Forrester, you... you can't do this! This is awful,
even for you!
Tom: Oh, relax, Joel, what's the worst that could happen?
Crow: Yeah, nobody really reads anymore!

[Deep 13]
Dr. F: Heh. Poor fools... you still don't understand the magnitude of this
creation. THIS INVENTION WORKS ON TV GUIDE, TOO!

[SOL]
Crow: You evil monster!
[Tom's head blows up]

[Deep 13]
Dr. F: Anyway, back into the theater! You've still got one final experiment
to finish while I'm off conquering the world!

[SOL]
Crow: Joel, I'm scared...
Joel: Me too, Crow, me too, 'cause WE'VE GOT FANFIC SIGN!

>

> -Father Apocalypse...I was only teaching her a lesson.

Joel: Mutant, psychopath, megalomaniac, and now man of the cloth...
Apocalypse is indeed a man of many talents.
Crow: Bless me, father, for I have starred in crossover fanfics...

> -It looks like you have meeted my daughter, Sailor Mars

>

> -SHE IS NOT YOUR DAUGHTER YOU FILTHY MONSTER ! ! !

Joel: Doom's writing tips, number 1-- when in doubt, type in all caps for
that "five inches away from a loudspeaker" feel!

Tom: [Apocalypse] Heh... we're gonna beat the hell out of that leg.

Tom: [Ami] What, all of it? Jeez, we could be here for a while...

Joel: [Serena] Though I suppose that could have just been mascara.

Crow: [Ami] Unless, of course, she's innocent, in which case she didn't do
what she did. Or maybe she just did something powerful for an ordinary
reason. Wait, maybe she did something ordinary in a powerful way...

> -Ami, I don't know what I could you without you, I wish I could be as wise

> -You...you...don't know....we were more than friends...

Crow: [falsetto] At least, we were until you showed up!
Joel: [ditto] Homewrecker!
Tom: [ditto] Slut!

Crow: Well, sisters from the deep south, maybe.
[pause]
Tom: Just a reminder, send those flames to Spider256@hotmail.com--
Crow: Hey!

Joel: [Clark Oppenheimer] Maybe I could fly around the Earth at unheard of

Joel: [Clark Oppenheimer] No, I did that last week. Damn!
Tom: Joel, maybe a tenth of the readers are going to know where that joke is
from...
Joel: I don't mind.

> -I wanted to play our favorite song....but...but...knowing that she can't

Crow: [Michiru] You think maybe it was a bad idea to use barbed wire for the
violin strings?

> -She can hear you...no matter where she is now...she can.

Tom: [Wolverine] After all, unknown to anyone but me, she isn't dead, just
buried alive, and the oxygen probably won't give out for a couple more
minutes...

> With this words, she stood up and started to play a song so beautiful that
> Logan couldn't believe it was coming from her hands.

Joel: Which was understandable, seeing as how it was coming from her violin.

Joel: [Xavier] Alright men, we got our spandex-wearing asses whupped the
first time around, but we're coming back for more!

Crow: So, Apocalypse's ship is a giant floating office building?
Tom: Pretty much.

> -Oh God, it's Rei ! ! We have to save her ! !

>

> Sailor Jupiter holded her arm

Joel: [falsetto] Must... control... fist... of death...

> -LET ME GO ! !

>

> -NO ! ! It could be a trap ! !

>

> In the end Sailor Jupiter released Sailor Moon's arm

Crow: [Sailor Moon] C'mon, please let me go?
Tom: [Jupiter] Well, okay.

Tom: And as luck would have it, still just hitting that one leg of hers.

> -REI ! ! !

>

> -Sailor Moon...escape while you can...please...

>

> -NO ! ! You are coming with us ! !

>

> -What for ?...to be punished for things I haven't done ?...or for being

Crow: [Serena] Er, a combination of both, actually. Plus Apocalypse and
Cerise will be coming over on alternate Tuesdays to blast your leg some
more.

> -No...I can see in your eyes that you are innocent...

Tom: Oh, so she's wearing her special "I'm innocent" contact lenses.
Joel: You'd be surprised what modern optometry can do.

Tom: Their porcelain thrones, to be exact.
Crow: [makes flushing noises]
Joel: Now, guys...

Tom: I thought Cerise was already in front of them.
Joel: Well, she's closer now, I guess.
Crow: You know, just once I'd like to see a major Sailor Moon villain who
can't teleport...

> -SHE IS NOT YOUR DAUGHTER ! ! ! SHE WILL NEVER BE ! ! !

>

> Cerise started to walk towards them, she created a pair of light swords,

Tom: Behold... the most annoying Jedi Knight in the universe!
Joel & Crow: [ooh and ah]

> Rei stood between her and Sailor Moon.

>

> -Renee stop it ! ! ! We are your friends, and Sailor Moon is your future

>

> For any answer she jumped and inflicted two cuts on Sailor Mars's arms on

Tom: [Serena] Psst! Rei! You're on!
Joel: [Rei] Oops, sorry! Uh... OW, MY ARMS HURT SO BADLY... look, can we
start over?

> -Get off the way Sailor Mars, otherwise I'll kill you.

>

> -If you want to hurt Sailor Moon you will have to kill me, you understand

Joel: [Cerise] Well, yeah-after all, that's almost exactly *what I just
said*...

> -As you wish.

>

> Cerise started a brutal and unmerciful attack over Sailor Mars,

Tom: [Cerise] Ho! Haha! Parry! Dodge! Thrust! Surrender now, or I will be
forced to inflict even more insignificant cuts upon your arms... hey, are
you even paying attention?

> but the
> even with her body bleeding from the several cuts she had, she stood there,

Tom: [Cerise] Aw, c'mon, at least say ouch or something! This is getting
embarrassing!
Joel: [Rei] Is it my imagination, or is someone trying to tickle me?

> Cerise couldn't believe why was that girl risking her life like that for

>

> -Why are you doing this ?

>

> -Be...because she is my friend...I care about her...and about you...

>

> -About me ? Why would you care about me ?

>

> Before answering, Sailor Mars falled to her knees.

Crow: [Rei] Rini, I know we haven't known each other for very long, but
there's something I have to ask you...

> -Be...be...because...you...you are also my friend...if you want...to

>

> Cerise stood there motionless,

Joel: [Cerise] Uh, next cue card, please?

> in front of her there was a black haired

>

> But then she remembered when Sailor Mars gave her to Apocalypse, she bonded

Joel: [shakes head] Y'know, Rini doesn't make for a particularly effective
villian.
Tom: Yeah, I'm really starting to wonder if turning Sailor Scouts into
mutants is the most productive use of Apocalypse's spare time...

> -ENOUGH ! ! ! I'm not going to let you harm her ! !

>

> -OK then, I'll fight you instead.

Crow: [random X-man] Sheesh, ten minutes of dialogue and we're right back
where we started... was I this boring as a teenager?
Joel: [ditto] Look, Apocalypse, are we going to fight or not?
Tom: [ditto] The hell with it, I'm taking a nap. Wake me up when it's over.

> Like she did before, she runned towards Sailor Moon with her sword, but the
> blond girl just stood there motionless,

Joel: [Serena] Alright, don't panic... just pretend she isn't there, and
maybe she'll go away...

> but when the sword touched the

> Sailor Chibi Moon and Sailor Moon were on the ground unconscious...

All: [burst out laughing]
Tom: I... I don't believe it! Sailor Moon just stands there and... she
misses her completely! She only manages to hit that stupid wand! And what's
worse, she actually knocks herself out doing it!

> To be continued...

Crow: [still laughing] Hoo boy... Joel, is it wrong to feel sorry for the
bad guys?
Joel: Normally... but in this case, I'll make an exception.

> In the next chapter, the final battle between the Sailor Scouts, the X-Men
> and Apocalypse, but there will be a supprise a character too, don't miss
> it, same Sailor Moon Fanfics page...same Sailor Moon time.

Crow: Sailor Moon time?
Tom: Well, it's like normal time, only you have to factor in being about two
hours late.
Crow: Ah.

> Next chapter : The Final Battle

Crow: The light at the end of the tunnel!
Joel: It'll be over soon!
Tom: You know, guys, we've still got to stop Dr. Forrester from taking over
the world...
Joel: Don't worry, I think I've got an idea.
[Joel and the bots exit the theater.]

[Bridge of the SOL. Joel is standing behind the counter flipping through a
phone book, with a telephone next to him. Tom and Crow are nowhere to be
found.]

Joel: It's a good thing Dr. F's new invention doesn't work on phone
numbers... ah, here we go. [punches in a number] Hello? Yes, is this the
Xavier Institute for Higher Learning? Yes, I'll hold...

[pause]

Joel: Hello? Yes, Mr... Logan, isn't it? You don't know me, sir, but I just
e-mailed you a fanfic you might be interested in looking at...

[pause]

Joel: Yes, that's you in it.

[pause]

Joel: Yes, that's you about to kill Sailor Mars. [Growling can be heard
coming from the phone.]

[pause]

Joel: Yes, that's you falling in love with the lesbian in the sailor suit.

[More growling, along with a barely audible 'snikt'.]

Joel: I thought you might react that way. Anyway, sir, I believe I included
the correct address in my e-mail, so if you and your associates might see
fit to wreak a glorious and terrible vengeance upon those responsible for
sending us this fanfic... hello? Hello?
[pause]
Joel: Well, I guess I'll take that as a good sign. [hangs up] I hope this
works... jeez, I'm normally not this devious. Maybe all the time I've spent
around the mads is having an effect on me-

[Lights and alarms start flashing]

Joel: AAAAAGGH!!! I'VE GOT MOVIE SIGN!!! AGAIN!!! [exits to the right]

[Joel enters the theater and takes his usual seat. Tom and Crow are already
waiting for him.]

Tom: Hi, Joel.
Crow: What kept you?
Joel: Oh, I just had to take care of something. By the way, do either of you
know the phone number for the Tsukino residence?
Crow: Er, not off the top of my head...
Joel: Oh, well. It's probably listed somewhere.

* The Era of Apocalypse
* X-Men and Sailor Moon Crossover
* Chapter 4
* Hope

Tom: Hope! That's what this fanfic has completely drained us of!

> Seeing her friends down, Sailor Jupiter and Sailor Venus rushed to their
> aid, while the X-men tried to distract Apocalypse,

Tom: [Cyclops] OH MY GOD, LOOK BEHIND YOU!
Joel: [Apocalypse] Huh? What? Hey, I don't see anything!
Tom: [Cyclops] Darn, you just missed it. OH MY GOD, THERE IT IS AGAIN!

> at the same time Sailor
> Mercury decided to look for the power source of the ship, she knew that if
> she could damage the ship's power systems they could escape,

Joel: And damaging the ship's power system would help because...
Crow: Well, maybe it would disable a security system or something.
Tom: What security system? From what I've seen, this place hasn't even got
an alarm!

> what she
> didn't noticed was that someone was following her, until she was about to

> -Where do you think you're going Sailor Mercury ?

Crow: [Mercury] Beats me. You weren't paying attention to the story either,
huh?

> The supprised girl couldn't believe her eyes, in front of her there was a

Tom: [falsetto] Wow, you look just like me! Jeez, my hair's a mess...

Joel: [X-men] BANG! You're dead!
Tom: [Apocalypse] No I'm not! You missed!
Joel: [X-men] Did not!
Tom: [Apocalypse] Did too!

All: [burst out laughing]
Crow: Conciseness? In this story? You gotta be kidding me!

> -Sailor Chibi Moon ! ?

> The little girl slowly opened her eyes

> -Don't...tell...daddy...that I was bad...

>

> -Don't worry everything is OK, now I need your help more than ever.

All: [cough, clear throats loudly]

Tom: So, while Rini and Sailor Moon were talking to each other and charging
up their attack, Apocalypse was doing what, twiddling his thumbs?
Joel: You'd think the 10-minute song and lights routine would have tipped
him off...

> the X-men were

> -Who are you impostor ! !

>

> -haha...are you sure that I'm the impostor, I could be Sailor Mercury and

Tom: Wonderful... a clone.
Crow: Well, this is a Marvel story.
Joel: All right, guys, I call no 'Scarlet Sailor' jokes.
Tom: Aw...

> -NO ! ! I'M SAILOR MERCURY ! !

Crow: [opens mouth]
Joel: And no Madelyne Pryor riffs either!
Crow: Damn.

>

> -Well done Mystique, now I'll posses her body and destroy her friends and

Joel: [Apocalypse] No, seriously. I realize it's kind of a dumb idea, and
every other time I tried to kill Xavier and company I got my head handed to
me, but... you're not buying any of this, are you?

> -NOO ! !

Joel: [Apocalypse] Yeah, I didn't think so. Look, to be honest, I'm just
making things up as I go along at this point...

> Sailor Mercury struggled but there was nothing she could do, Juggernaut was
> too strong for her, in seconds Apocalypse turned himself into an energy

Crow: [Apocalypse] I'm potporri!
Tom: Wait a minute-why is the Juggernaut even working for Apocalypse?
Joel: Try not to worry about it too much... we left logic behind a long
time ago.

> Sailor Mercury screamed when she saw the light coming at her, then there

>

> -Put me down I'm inside of her now.

Crow: [Juggernaut] Way too much information, sir.

> -Yes my Lord.

>

> -Sailor Mercury, this is Sailor Jupiter where are you ?

>

> -I'm in the control room...what is it ?

Tom: [Jupiter] Well, I'd assume that it's a room where the controls to the
ship are kept... look, do we really have time for this?

> -We have to go back, Sailor Chibi Moon is OK but she and Sailor Moon need
> some rest.

>

> -What do you want me to do ?

>

> -Join us of course, we need you to teleport back to the hotel

Tom: [Mercury] Er, didn't we take the Blackbird here?
Joel: [Jupiter] Well, yeah, but we kind of can't remember where we parked
the darn thing, so...

> -OK, I'm on my way.

>

> -mmm...there is something strange with her... -Thought Sailor Jupiter

Minutes later the girls combined their powers and returned to the hotel,
none the less Sailor Mars sensed something strange when they combined their
powers back in the ship, she decided to talk with Mina about it.

* Mina...I felt something strange one Amy when we returned from the ship...

> -What ?

>

> -I...I'm not sure about what it was...but it was just like if there was
> something else besides her..

>

> -You think she may be in danger ?

>

> -I hope not but I'll watch her closely...

Tom: [Rei] Lucky for me I had that peephole into her bathroom installed...
heh heh heh...

> Later that day Rei was walking in the hallway when she heard voices in
> Amy's room.

Crow: Of course, until the medication kicks in, Rei hears voices
everywhere...

> -LEAVE ME ALONE ! !

>

> -Forget it child...you belong to me until I decide to let you go.

>

> The black haired girl runned towards the room and opened the door.

* AMY ! !

The blue haired girl turned around slowly.

> -Wha...what ?

>

> -You OK ? I heard screams...

>

> -uh...it...it was...the TV...

>

> Rei noticed that the power cable wasn't plugged in.

>

> -Amy...if you have any trouble you know you can count on us...especially
> me...Amy...you...

Crow: That's a nasty stutter she's developing...
Tom: The fanfic's finally getting to her. The poor girl's falling apart.

> you're like a sister to me...I care for you more that anything in the

>

> D...Don't worry Rei...e...everything is...is...OK..

Tom: Say, what color is Rei's hair again?
Joel: Well, uh...
Crow: Er...

> The black haired girl walked out and closed the door,

All: OH!
Tom: Jeez, I'd completely forgotten!
Crow: Thank you, fanfic!

> she stood against it
> for a few seconds, enough time to hear Amy cry, she decided to leave her

> -No...NO ! ! Why she...why ?

Crow: [Rei] Duh... gah?

> Meanwhile Jean also sensed something and was sharing it with Professor

Crow: [snickers]
Tom: You know, if Cyclops ever hears about this he's gonna throw a fit...

> -Professor, I have sensed very unusual vibes on Sailor Mercury since we

>

> Closing his eyes Professor Xavier made mental contact with Sailor

>

> -No...imposible...

>

> -What is it Professor ?

>

> -Apocalypse...he possessed her...every minute that passes he becomes more

>

> -What do you suggest ?

>

> -We must call their leader immediately.

Joel: [Xavier] We haven't got a moment to lose! We've got to save her!

> Minutes later Serena was with them

Joel: [Xavier] Alright, we've got several minutes to lose, but that's it!

>

> -But...there has to be a way to help her...

> Suddenly an explosion was heard, everyone runned out and saw Rei in the

Joel: [Xavier] I told you we didn't have a moment to lose, but noooo,
somebody just had to stop for ice cream on the way here...

> -Insolent fool...don't you understand that this body belongs to me now ?

>

> Rei tried to stand up but an energy blast knocked her back to the floor,

Tom: GASP No! She has the awesome power to shove people over!
Joel: If she isn't stopped, schoolyard bullies everywhere will be out of a
job!

> seeing this Serena stood up in front of her.

>

> -STOP IT ! ! ! AMY ! ! ! YOU'RE INSIDE SOMEWHERE YOU HAVE TO FIGHT THIS

> Another energy blast knocked Serena against a wall,

Crow: [snickers] Some villains have death-rays... this guy's lucky to have a

Tom: Yeah, but how often does it fit this well?

Tom: Okay, that was... [counts to himself] ...thirteen lines in a row
without a period.
Joel: Doom's really pulling out all the stops for part four.
Crow: Me, I just wish part four would stop...

> -FOOLS ! ! ! YOU'LL NEVER STOP ME ! ! !

Tom: [Sailor Moon] Oh, I'm so happy! Wait a minute-aren't you supposed to
be unconscious?
Crow: [Mercury] Well, I was...

Joel: [Cyclops] Well, troops, Apocalypse is still trapising around somewhere
in Sailor Mercury's mind, A half dozen of the most dangerous mutants on the
planet are loose in Japan, and the leftover Sentinels are probably tearing
Tokyo apart even as we speak... I'd call this our most successful mission
yet!

> -You love him, right Michiru ?

Joel: [disgusted] Of course she loves him. Everybody loves him. After all,
he's the great Wolverine! Not that I'm jealous or anything-why should I
be? Just because I couldn't even get a girl to look at me until my senior
year of high school...

> -Pluto...it was just...I don't know...I better go and think about this...

* The End.

[pause]
Tom: So. That's the end, huh?
Crow: Yep.
Joel: Guess so.
Tom: Sorta gets you right here, doesn't it?
Crow: Nope.
Joel: Not me.
Tom: Me neither. Let's go.

[Bridge of the SOL. Tom is trying to facefault again, while Crow looks on.
Joel enters from the left.]

Joel: Well, guys, I made the last phone call...
Tom: Last phone call to who?
Joel: You'll see.

[The Mads' light starts flashing.]

Joel: Great, the mads are calling. [hits the button.]
Crow: This is a good thing?

[Deep 13. Dr. F is standing in front of his latest semi-evil invention,
smirking. TV's Frank-complete with crutches, a neck brace, and an arm in a
sling-is in the background off to one side, trying his best to look evil.]

Dr. F: Well, Joel? How was the fanfic today?

[SOL. Joel shrugs.]

Joel: Oh, not so bad. No self-insertion, no blatant destruction of the
fourth wall... the author even tried to get in some character subplots and
drama. It didn't work very well, but at least his heart was in the right
place.
Tom: Yeah... all in all, we've definitely had worse.

[Deep 13]

Dr. F: Oh, really? Well, I'm glad your day wasn't so bad... because
everyone else on the planet is suffering through hell on Earth!
Frank: Well, sir, Joel isn't actually on the planet, so saying 'everyone
else on the planet' isn't entirely accurate'-
Dr. F: Frank! I'm trying to make a point here!
Frank: Sorry, sir.
Dr. F: Rrrgh... anyway, boobies, the De-Literator is up and running! It
won't be long before entire civilizations crumble! And from the ashes of
this global disaster, I shall rise to power!

[SOL]

Crow: Uh-oh. That could be bad...
Tom: Joel?
Joel: Yes, Tom?
Tom: We're screwed, aren't we?
Joel: Don't worry, guys. I know things look bad, but I've made a few...
arrangements.

[Deep 13]

Dr. F: Ha! You're bluffing, Robinson! I've finally won, and you know it!
Nothing can stop me now! Absolutely noth-

[Dr. Forrester is cut off, as the back wall of Deep 13 is blasted apart by
something that looks suspiciously like a crescent beam. Tuxedo Mask and the
Sailor Senshi/Scouts enter through through the gaping hole it leaves.]

Dr. F: Oh, poopie.
Sailor Moon: Dr. Clayton Forrester! You aid the spread of bad fanfiction
across the internet, tarnishing the Senshi's good name! You trap people in
space and torture them for your own evil ends! You seek to dominate the
entire Earth!
Sailor Uranus: That, and you showed people a fanfic where I fall in love
with some hairball old enough to be my great-grandfather!
Sailor Moon: Right, that too! In the name of the moon, we will punish you!
Dr. F: Oh, that's nice... Frank?
Frank: Yes, your evilness?
Dr. F: RUN!
Sailor Jupiter: GET 'EM!

[TV's Frank and Dr. F run like hell off to the right. The Senshi give
chase.]

[SOL]

Crow: Whoa. Where did that come from?
Joel: Well, I just said to myself, "Joel, how would I feel if someone wrote
a fanfic this bad about me?" And, well, I'd feel like blasting something to
bits! So, I called the stars of the fic and told them where to find Dr. F,
and...
Tom: Joel, I'm impressed! You're not as dumb as you look!
Joel: Thanks, Tom... HEY! Take that back!
Tom: Alright, you are as dumb as you look.
Joel: That's more like it... HEY!

[Deep 13. Another hole is blasted in the far wall, next to the one the
Senshi/Scouts made, and the X-men walk through.

Cyclops: Alright, Forrester, it's time for you to... hey, where is everyone?
Tuxedo Mask: Sorry, you just missed 'em.
Iceman: You mean they started without us?
Tuxedo Mask: 'Fraid so.
Iceman: Damn. Wait a minute-why are you still here?
Tuxedo Mask: Well, I don't actually fight, per se-I throw roses at people
and give speeches. Besides, somebody had to get rid of the invention.
[Gestures to the still-activated De-Literator.]
Cyclops: Oh, right. [Blasts the machine apart with an optic blast.] Well,
that's that, I guess...
Frank: [O.S.] AIIIEEEE!!!

[TV's Frank and Dr. F run across the screen, dodging lightning bolts,
crescent beams, lightning bolts, fire, soap bubbles, and the occassional
glowing yellow frisbee.]

Dr. F: Faster, Frank! They're gaining!
Frank: But don't you want me to push the bu-
Dr. F: FORGET ABOUT THE STUPID BUTTON!

[SOL. Crow checks under the counter.]

Crow: Woohoo! Our TV Guides are back!
Tom: Alright! Quick, to the TV!
Joel: You know, guys, as long as the De-Literator's been destroyed, there's
a lot of really great, classic books here you might wanna read...
Crow: [not paying attention] Hurry, Tom! 'Obliterator XII' is playing on
UPN! And after that they're showing 'When Animals Attack, Part 5'!
Joel: [sighs] Why do I even bother...

[Deep 13. Sailor Moon and company charge across the screen after Dr. F.]

Sailor Moon: Hey! How are we supposed to punish you if you won't hold still
long enough for us to do our attack routines!
Angel: Well, time to give the kiddies a hand...
Phoenix: Right, we're off! By the way, Joel, thanks again for warning us
about that fanfic. Who writes these things, anyway?

[SOL]

Joel: [shrugs] Sometimes I think we're better off not knowing.

[Deep 13]

Cyclops: Alright, X-men, let's move! [the X-men get ready to run off-screen]

[SOL]

Joel: Hey, aren't you forgetting something?

[Deep 13]

Cyclops: Hmm? Oh, right. Push the button, Hank.

[The Beast hops over and hits the button.]

FWOOOSH!

Iceman: [O.S.] Hey, tux, the blonde with the scepter's your girlfriend, right? Tuxedo Mask: [O.S.] Yeah...
Iceman: [O.S.] Doesn't it bother you that she goes out in public in a skirt that short?
SMACK
Iceman: [O.S.] Ow!
