Back...

21) As they went to where the lions were, Mea noticed that Freakzoid, Cosgrove and the two lucisous ladies from Tenchi Muyo disappeared. This left, Keith, Allura, Tamy, Mea, and Hunk who was now both hoagy-less and Lance-less.

"Where's Lance?" Keith demanded.

"He's - uh in the lab.." Hunk said.

"Where's Pidge?" Allura asked worriedly.

"In the lab with Lance."

"WHY!" Keith was feeling the headache again.

Mea looked at Keith. "You're standing there wearing a g-string and chaps and you wonder WHY? This is TAME compared to what we've been through!"

Allura, desperate to change the subject (and her clothes), said, "Look, those must be the clothes dispensers!"

"Hey, and they're labelled with our names!" Tamy grinned. "Wow! That girl IS a genius! She thinks of everything!"

Allura, Keith and Tamy go to their respective clothes replicators and each duck behind a lion to change. Mea and Hunk jump in surprise when they heard three distinct screams from the lions.

"Aggggh!" Tamy ran out behind Green Lion. "Look AT me!"

Mea's eyes widened. "You look like a Sailor Scout!"

"I was putting on BLUE JEANS and suddenly ZAP! I'm in this thing!" She now had on the uniform of a Sailor Scout or to be more specific - Sailor Moon herself. Her hair was done up in same way too and she wore red boots to match the cute little sailor outfit she wore.

"I did get this awesome scepter though.." she said thoughtfully, calming down. The outfit WAS a little better than the harem nightmare costume at any rate.

Allura ran out wearing the same outfit, only that it was PINK and white. She had a pink bow in her hair.

"PINK!! WHY DOES IT ALWAYS HAVE TO BE PINK!" She wailed in a most Serena like way.

Keith raced out in his red outfit, only it wasn't quite HIS red outfit. He had a black zig zag across his chest and he carried a red helmet.

"Well, I seem to be all - "

"Ahhhh!" Mea shrieked. "Power Ranger! Kill it! KILL IT!!"

Hunk had to restrain her.

"I definitely smell a SABAN in the woodpile.." Tamy wrinkled her nose.

"And Zarkon too." The princess grimaced. "We must end this nonsense!"

"Yeah." Mea finally calmed down. "Do you realize HOW much room on the board this thing has taken already? I mean I got things to do, jokes to play.." she winked at Tamy who ignored it.

"Huh?" Keith said.

"That's MY line, Keith!" Hunk crossed his arms indignantly.

"The princess is right. It's time to whomp tail! We got the lions. Let's get on over to Saban/Doom Castle, rescue Marc and set everything to rights!" Tamy said forcefully. "We'll do it or my name's not - SAILOR TAMYSAN!" She struck a pose with her scepter.

"By the power of George W. Bush, I vanquish ALL evil!" Tamy shouted, really getting into the part.

Mea rolled her eyes. "Oh boy, we better get going! I don't like this at all. I think we're going to be brainwashed!"

"Let's go!' Allura shouted, taking the lead.

"Go, Power Rangers!" Keith yelled, doffing his helmet.

"I'm killing him!" Mea gritted her teeth.

"Oh no you don't!" Hunk restrained her again.

And as the group fought and struggled to the lions, Hagar watched them from her evil crystal orb.

"All is going to plan, sire!" the evil witch cackled."Soon, they'll be here to rescue this pitiful writer!"

"Good! Once they are, then time will run out and I will rule ALL the galaxies in every dimension!" Zarkon laughed.

Lotor smirked. "And I get the princess AND all the pixelated babes I want! Hahahahahaa!"

Hagar went over to where Marc Handler sat, bound and gagged, trussed up like a turkey.

"Well, Mr. Handler, how do you LIKE our entertainment?" The witch removed the gag from his mouth.

"No - more - power - rangers.." he mumbled.

"What? You don't like SABAN? TOO BAD!!" Hagar cackled again and slipped the gag back on Handler, who moaned in agony.

"Hagar, you have SUCH a way with torture!" Zarkon grinned.

"Why thank you sire!" Hagar bridled with pride.

"Lotor, quit preening in front of the mirror and release the special roebeast I have for those lions!"

"You're not going to harm the princess are you?" Lotor looked at Zarkon distrustfully.

"No, I'm not! In fact, the roebeast will bring them back here so I can gloat over my final victory! Now go!"

Lotor scowled at his father, but he knew that the sooner the SABAN roebeast was released, the sooner they would have their captives and the sooner he'd have his pretty pink princess. She did look so cute in that pink and white outfit..

And so as our daring heroes come to Marc's rescue, what will happen next?

- Will Zarkon succeed in taking over everything?

- Will Keith be turned in a Power Ranger?

- Will Mea be the victim of her own press?

- Will Marc be rescued before he loses his mind to the nefarious creations of SABAN?

- Will Tamy and Allura ever have a DECENT costume change?

STAY TUNED!!!!

 22) While the group was fighting, Hunk suddenly looked very pale and was leaning over.

"Boy, I don't feel to good."

Everyone stopped and looked at him.

Kieth eyed him and said "I told you you shouldn't have eaten that sandwich we found out in that abyss."

Hunk suddenly went running out in a direction that he guessed the bathroom was in.

"Now what are we going to do. We're short one pilot." Allura complained.

"Come on, all we need to do is get Pidge in here and go." Mea said ratherly annoyed.

"Yeah, but this is probably some plot twist the writer put in." Tamy said actually beginning to take a liking to her new clothing.

"Well there's always me." A voice said at the back of the room.

Everyone turned and all were stunned at who they saw.

"But, But you're supposed to be dead. We saw you vaporized by Pam." Kieth muttered.

Mike looked rather cool at this, "In Science Fiction, death is only a relative term. I was the figure in the tank in the other room. Washu was nice enough to bring me back."

He was wearing a one piece, black uniform. He sudden noticed Tamy's, Allura's, and Kieth's new clothing.

"My God this is getting bad. I hope this doesn't change you guys to much." He said disgustedly.

Mea and Tamy looked at each other.

"Umm.. Welcome back Mike." Mea muttered.

"What are you so upset about?"

"Ahhh nothing." She snapped out rather quickly.

"Well what are we doing standing around here and doddling. Let's get out there and kick some Saban butt. I want to get my revenge at Zarkon for killing me."

The team ran to the Lion's and they immediately activated.

Washu's voice came over the intercom, "I've opened the gateway. Good luck!"

The Lion's leaped through the gateway to their battle with destiny.

 23) The lions raced through a transdimensional wormhole, out of Washu's humongous subspace lab and into orbit over Arus.

From Black Lion, in his gag-inducing new uniform, Keith signaled the rest of the team. "All right, everyone. Form up and set course for--what in the world???"

The computer screens surrounding Keith suddenly darkened; an immense object was casting a shadow over Black Lion. Kiyone's starship Yagami was off the port stern.

Suddenly, music filled Keith's cabin--no, wait, that wasn't music. "Oh, it's Kiyone's voice," Keith realized.

"This is Galaxy Police Detective First-Class Kiyone. I hope you don't mind if Mihoshi and I join your squadron. I'm all for putting away this Lotor character for good."

"Not only that, Keith, but Pidge, Hunk, those two strange Freakazoid guys and I are on board her ship, so you'd better let us come." The music had been replaced by Lance's not-quite-so-lovely voice. "What's the big idea, running off with the lions but leaving us behind? How could this Mike, Mea, and Tamy fly the lions better than we can?"

"Uh, sorry," replied Tamy from Yellow Lion. "We sort of wrote ourselves into the cockpits. Wouldn't you, in our shoes?"

"Oh, yeah!" Mike's voice in Red Lion. "This is quite cool. I think the lions are taking to us pretty well, too."

"I want to know how I ended up in Green Lion," said Mea. "If this is my Round Robin board, why did you two get to pick first? Not that I don't like Green Lion, but I would have liked a choice."

"Commander," came the music once again, "which lion are you in, anyway? I can't get a position lock on any of your voices."

"And it's not my fault!" Obviously, that voice was Mihoshi.

"Oh, that's Pidge's jamming system at work," answered Keith. All of a sudden, he could hear Pidge babbling on to Kiyone about how is was a piece of cake. "Here, let me give you a direct link to Black Lion." All of a sudden, Yagami's cockpit appeared on his forward screen.

Kiyone looked at him. "Ah, there you OH MY GOD IT'S ONE OF THEM, A POWER RANGER!"

"Wha . . . ?" Mihoshi looked up. "EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!" and she fainted dead away. Last time she had done that, during the Tenchi TV series, Kiyone had been frozen stiff from aural shock before she could fire, but this time, the absolute horror of that thing onscreen kept her fully active.

"What's going on?" asked Keith, completely oblivious to the danger he was in.

"ALL CRAFT, OPEN FIRE ON THAT SABAN ABOMINATION IN BLACK LION!!!" Kiyone let go of the comm and fired all weapons banks at Black Lion.

Unquestioningly, Mea and Mike discharged volley after volley at said lion, crying out in madness for the destruction of all evil and Saban.

"STOOOOOOOPP!!! STOOOOOOOPP!!!" Allura was finally able to overcome the anti-power ranger fever of her teammates and prevent them from completely destroying Black Lion. "Oh, Keith, are you all right? Keith? Keith! Why are you . . . are you naked?"

"Uh, sorry, Princess, this is just momentary. I'm switching uniforms, if this one is going to cause this much trouble. Let's see . . .. Well, it looks like Black Lion is going to need a whole lot of repair work now."

"Hehe, well, um, we're really sorry about this, Keith," Mea stammered.

"Hey, I think it's a perfectly understandable reaction," interjected Mike.

Then Tamy had her line: "I think you guys are just a wee bit loopy. Hey, Keith, do all these lions have spare suits? I'd really like to get out of this ridiculous sailor outfit."

"Uh, hehe, no, it's not standard equipment." Keith disappeared from the screen. "This isn't even my suit. I, uh, actually have it on board to transport to a friend back on Earth. Yeah, a, uh, friend at, uh, Galaxy Garrison." Keith reappeared.

There was a collective scream.

Kiyone consulted Yagami's databanks. "You . . . you're wearing an Evangelion plugsuit? You're wearing Asuka Langley's red FEMALE Evangelion plugsuit???"

The two Freakazoid characters looked at each other. "And I thought OUR show had some strange characters."

"Sorry I've been in the can all this time. What have I mis--HOLY CRAP, what happened to Keith??? Since when were you into wearing skintight girl's clothes?" Hunk's voice wasn't making Keith feel any better.

"Forget Keith. We can't attack Lotor as Voltron without Black Lion. What do we do now?" Lance, for once, was bringing the discussion back on track.

Now, Pidge's voice: "I think we can at least take back Marc Handler first with a minor attack, while Black Lion is repaired, before we head back with Voltron and take out Zarkon and crew for good. For our little assault, I know where we can get Keith a" [dramatic pause] "Mobile Suit Gundam."

 24) "Pidge, turn the TV off. You're stuck in a video trance again." Kieth commanded.

"Uh.. What?" a slightly dazed Pidge replied. "Sorry, what was I saying again?"

"That's why we don't let you watch TV, you go and start spouting out about things you see on TV. Almost like the time you put After Dark on your computer several years ago and were ranting about the Flying Toasters that were coming to attack you."

"Hold it a minute," Mike interupted, "That gives me an idea! What we need is some distractions and I think I just know where we can get them. I'll be back in half in hour."

And Green Lion shot off into Hyperspace.

"Wait a minute. I thought Mike was in Red Lion, not Green." Allura said.

"No, I'm in Red and have always been here since we left." Mea answered.

"We should land on the planet and wait for him to return." Kiyone said.

"We'll wait at the Castle, then I can get back into some real clothes." Kieth said.

"Allura, you wouldn't happen to have something I could change into?" Tamy asked.

"It depends if you like pink. All my clothes are pink and I just hate it. When this is over, we can have a big bon fire with them all." Allura replied.

The five Lions and the Yagami landed at the Castle. Allura and Kieth were able to get into their proper uniforms. Kieth ended up giving Tamy Ashka's Plug Suit which because of Anime Physics fit perfectly, and was a definite step up from the last two changes. But she did keep the septor.

About this time, Mike returned with a big stack of model kits.

"How'll this help?" Everyone seemed to ask.

"Just put them together and I'll show you." he replied

They spent some time putting the variety of Gaint Robot Anime models together with varying degrees of success. Finally when they finished Mike demonstrated his idea.

He picked up the box for a Gundam, "All we do is put a piece of masking tape of the scale, and write 1:1."

When he wrote the new scale, the model suddenly increased to full size, leaving a mark in the ceiling.

"And you just remove the tape and it returns." He pealed away the tape and it shrunk down to it's original side.

"We'll just put these around the Castle Doom/Saban and slip in to rescue Marc while their confused by this. I think the three SDF Macrosses will give them a real scare."

They loaded the completed models into the Lions and the Yagami and launched for Earth.

 25) The five Lions (well, four and four-fifths, Black Lion was still pretty beat up) and the star ship made their way towards the central hub of evil, the headquarters of Saban Intergalactic. As they came in range, their sensors read something unusual...

"That's funny," said Allura, "I didn't think this planet had a moon."

"That's no moon."

"MIKE!" chided Mea, "Not funny."

"I'm serious!" he insisted. "That's no moon, look at the readings!"

"He's right," Kiyone radioed from the Yagami. "There's a lot of jamming up but it's mostly refined metal and synthetics, plus it's putting out a strong energy reading."

"So what is it?" asked Tamy. "The Death Star?"

Her question was quickly answered as the diabolic sphere came into visual range; there was something sickeningly familiar about it's dark mottled brown and sickly green surface, and the vague eye-like pattern that covered it's crust...

"THE ORB OF EVIL!!" Mike, Mea, and Tamy chorused.

"The who of what?" Keith asked.

("Noticed they never call these places 'The Orb of Minor Annoyance' or 'The Orb of Occasional Inconvenience," Freakaziod remarked to Cosgrove.

"I think there's a zoning law about naming evil hideouts," Cosgrove answered in his same Unflappable Tone(TM) "I'll have to check the books.")

"It's one of the most evil places in the universe," Tamy answered.

"It's a place of despair and torment, and lots of pain," added Mea.

"Actually, it's a BeSeen chat room," finished Mike. "But it's pretty bad."

"THAT'S where they're holding Marc?" said Tamy? "This is going to be harder than I thought."

"It's gets worse," Pidge's voice said over the comms. "It's got a pretty good orbital defense net around it. I don't think the Yagami can get through it without triggering it."

"What about the lions?" Keith asked.

"They're small and faster than the Yagami, might be just enough to get through without triggering the satellites. If you're careful."

"All right team, you heard Pidge. Follow my lead in, and we'll see if we can get Marc out of there. Yagami, hold back and cover us if it gets bad."

"Do you expect things to get bad?" asked Kiyone warily.

Behind her she heard Mihoshi say "You know I can never remember which button is the coffee maker and which one is the self-destruct..."

"Nevermind," Kiyone said and turned just in time to hear Mihoshi say "Oops," and every warning light on the ship to go red.

Pidge was right though; the five lions wove their way between the staring lazon defense satellites without triggering them, getting closer and closer to the artificial planetoid. The closer they came, the more the interference from the Orb blinded their sensors until they were almost flying blind by the time they found an unguarded docking bay.

"I don't like this," said Mea getting down from Green Lion. "This feels like a trap." She pointed her key at the ship and pressed a button, securing Green Lion with an electronic chirp.

Allura frowned. "Weren't you in Red Lion?"

"No, I was in Green Lion. Remember, I was complaining about that earlier. Mike's been in Red Lion since this started."

Allura shook her head, feeling like the victim of some strange running gag. Finally, she shrugged and joined Keith and the three strange pilots at the base of Black Lion.

"Have you got the models?" he asked Mike.

Mike patted the duffel bag he had slung over his shoulder. "All set."

"Good. We're going to need a secret weapon. Everyone got your blasters?"

They all drew their sidearm, except Tamy, who took a second to free hers from the vacu-sealed pockets of her Nerv plugsuit.

"Okay team, we know it's a trap, so be careful. Let's go..."

- - - - -

"I can't believe it's this easy," Zarkon muttered.

"That's why evil will triumph," cackled Hagar, "Because good is stupid!"

"What do you think, little writer," Zarkon smirked over at his captive. "Should I make their lives a little more interesting before I break them all together?"

"I like da widdle space miceies," Marc babbled incoherently, a bit drool dribble ddown his chin. His eyes stared unfocused out into the world as if he'd has his brain sucked out with a straw.

"Hagar, what did you do too him?"

"This is not MY doing, Sire," Hagar retorted. "Lotor left him in front of the TV with the new Saban Kid's lineup for the past few hours. I think it broke him."

Zarkon fumed. "I NEED that writer... Get that idiot son of mine in here. Wait, FIRST do something to slow down those Arus pests, THEN get that idiot son of mine in here."

A devious grin spread over the old witch's aged features. "My pleasure Zarkon, and I have just the spell in mind..."

- - - - -

"...All I'm saying is I just wish someone had written Lance in on this mission," Mea remarked offhandedly. "Seriously, he is even better looking in person than he is on the tube."

"Mea!" Tamy giggled.

"Hey if you can drool over Lotor, I can drool over Lance. Fair's fair," she concluded. "Besides, we could use a little of that Lance intuition to figure out where the heck we're going. Make things easier to-"

"Mea," Mike interrupted," What happened to your shirt?"

Mea looked down at her t-shirt and jeans that had, until now, remained miraculously unchanged since she appeared in the story. Unfortunately, that was no longer the case...

"What the heck.." she gaped as the design on the front of her shirt started shifting from the Brain to...

"Digimon?? What the heck is that doing on - AIGH!!"

Mea dropped to her knees. The others quickly gathered around her as she doubled over.

Keith knelt beside her. "Mea, what's wrong? Can you move?"

Mea lifted her head; her face had paled noticeable and sweat was starting to bead up on her forehead. Just then something rippled across her skin, and a green glow started to surround her.

"Something's... happening... to me," she gasped out. "I feel like I'm... changing... into something... something else - AHH!!" she doubled over again.

"It must be Hagar's magic," said Allura. " She's trying to turn her into one of Saban's minions."

"Fight it Mea!" Mike said."

"I'm trying!" Mea said through clenched teeth, "But.. It's not... working!"

"Think of good shows!" he encouraged. "Maybe you can fight it that way!"

"Right... good shows... think... um, Batman... Animaniacs... Roughnecks... Men In Black..."

The glow around her started to change from green to a more bluish tinge, then to purple.

"Tamy, use your Sailor Wand on her!" Allura called.

"I'm trying!" Tamy shot back, "But it's stuck in the pocket of this stupid suit! I... GOT IT!!"

"... ReBoot... Superman... Max Steel... Captain Simain...I think it's working.. Batman Bey-YEARH!!"

Mea's body arched back as she screamed, and then she changed...

- - - - -

Hagar looked into her crystal ball with a confused expression on her face.

"Well, THAT wasn't supposed to happen." she said.

26) As Mea is was doubled over on the floor there was another point of light and a young man appears, wearing a plain black shirt with blue stripes down the arms and blue jeans and wire frame glasses. "What the?! Where am I?" He exclaims.

Tamysan looks at him "You are in the RR Board on the V4 site" She says "with Mea in some kind of trouble."

The new person looks around closes his eyes and grits his tetth "NO! I am in the orb of evil!"

"How did you know what it is called" Keith and the stranger points to a door which is fading in and out of all black. When black it has the green orb and the red letters Temporily out of service on it.

"I knew I should have stayed in bed today. Ok, I know you" points to Keith "And you" Points to Allura "But you others I do not know"

"I am Sailor.... err skip that I am Tamysan. The person on the floor is Mea, and the one in all black is Mike"

"..... I am Keith errr.. wait that could get WAY to confusing. Call me Ken. AKA Greywolf for a short period of time"

"I know you..." Tamysan says "From VChat"

"Its so nice to be recognized.... BUT WHY AS I HERE!?" Ken is just a little confused so they explain what is happening. "So, I can write anything in here and it happens" He has an evil idea and pulls out the notebook and pencil he has been writing the novel in. He immediately writes something and Ninetales appears by his side "Ha! Yes!" Then the book disappears "NOOOOO!"
---------------------------------------
Haggar takes the notebook "tsk tsk only we shall have that kind of power in here" She cackles

Meanwhile Lotor is brought before Zarkon "I needed that writer SANE.... or close to sane anyway! As punishment you are sentenced to"
"but father..."
"You must watch all the Power Ranger seasons BACK TO BACK"
A scream is heard throughout the castle "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

 27) "Well, Ken, you're obviously here like the rest of us! We're here to save Marc Handler from Zarkon and his minions!" Tamysan said.

Ken shook his head and then got a look at Mea.

"W - what's THAT!!"

"Oh Mea!" Allura exclaimed.

"Geez!" Tamy exclaimed. "This is REALLY gonna slow us down!"

"Boingy! Boingy! Boingy!" Mea bounced happily around.

Her appearance was interesting to say the least! She looked like an amalgamism of all the 'good' animation shows on TV. She had on the dark suit of Men In Black, the bat wings of Batman, and the personality of an Anamaniac - although whether she was Yakko, Wakko, or Dot was yet to be seen.

Suddenly Mea jumped up on Keith and said,"I'm the CUTE one!" and planted a big smack on his lips. Mea made a face and said, "Nasty! You're NOT Lance!" and jumped back down.

"Oh boy.." Ken shook his head. "This is nuts!"

"Did somebody say nuts?" Freakzoid said to Cosgrove.

"I prefer macadamia nuts myself." Cosgrove said in his flat deadpan voice.

"Look, we've got to find this Marc person, and get things back to normal! If we don't then the Mega-Zord is doomed!"

"MEGA-ZORD!!" Mea was bouncing up and down again. She leaped on Keith again and yelled, "Hellllllooooo..MEGA-ZORD!"

"Oh geez.." Tamy smacked her head.

******

Meanwhile, things weren't going too well at Saban..

"I'm NOT watching Power Rangers back to back! If you THINK I'm going to wind up as a repository for DROOL like HIM.." he pointed at Marc. "You're crazy!"

Zarkon roared. "Well you're the one who put him in front of the TV!"

"Hey, HE'S the one who wanted to watch!" Lotor countered.

Hagar cackled. "It could have been worse, sire. Lotor could have let him watch C-SPAN!"

"Nooooo!" Marc put his hands over his head. "Not C-SPAN!"

Zarkon grumbled. "Well, maybe you have a point there. Lotor, do something useful and release that roebeast!"

"Uh, I can't!" Lotor said.

"WHY NOT!" Zarkon bellowed.

"Because it fell apart!" Lotor growled back.

"Sire, it IS a SABAN roebeast! I can only do so much with cheap latex and used car parts!"

Zarkon pounded his fist on his makeshift throne (which was actually Lord Zedd's throne from the very first season of PR)

"I WON'T be defeated by those - those people!" Zarkon yelled.

"Well if it's any consolation sire, I did disable one of them, and with Keith turning into a Power Ranger.."

"I want ALL of them to break! Get into their minds Hagar! Seek out their worst fears and then when they are helpless, zap them here where they will grovel at MY feet! Hahahahahahahahahaha!"

******

MEANwhile, back at the ranch..

"Um, I guess we should keep going?" Ken asked.

"Hey, I'm HUNGRY!" Mea said in a very British accent.

"You'll get to eat when we - uh get where we're going!" Tamy said.

"Ooooh! Check this out!" Mea whipped out a very familar pen-like object.

"Hey, gimme that!" Tamy snatched it out of her hand.

"What is it?" Allura asked.

"It's one of them pens from MIB!!" Tamy exhulted and then she looked around, hoping that Hagar wasn't watching.

"One of those?" Ken asked.

"Yeah!Maybe it'll come in handy!" Tamy stuck the pen of forgetfullness in one of her plug suit pockets - one that was easily reachable.

"Go, go Power Rangers!" Keith yelled.

"Um, maybe we should get going before Keith turns completely into a Power Ranger!" Allura said worriedly.

Mist began to form about them suddenly and a chill permeated the air.

"Uh oh!" Tamy said."I think something happening!"

"I think it's Hagar!" Allura cried out.

Ken said, "Dang! If only I had my pen and pad!"

"It's TIME for the WHEEL of MORALITY!!" Mea yelled happily.

A cackling voice boomed through the darkness.

"All right, you pitiful fools! It's time to face your greatest fears!!!!"

"Eeep!" Tamy said.

"Notice they never have you face your greatest love songs of all time!" Freakazoid commented.

"I got the LP at a garage sale." Cosgrove said. "Moon River brings a tear to my eye. Want a doughnut?"

"Uh oh!" Ken gasped.

"Touch her and you're - you're DUST, Rita!" Keith yelled.

Allura groaned in despair.

And then the darkness became even MORE dark and then they all saw...

 28a) Hagar was cackling above all of the people trapped in the great evil of beseen. "And now you shall all..."
"Wait a moment!" Ken interupts her
"Why?"
"I have to do something" He says running over to Keith who is singing the power ranger song. He runs around Keith and kicks him right in the red seat and sparks fly from the crappy ranger suit as Keith is flying forward "STOP THAT" Ken yells at him, "You are making MY name look bad! ok now what were you saying Hagar?"

Hagar clears her throat "And now you shall all face yoru worse fear!" Hagar cackles out

Tamysan is thinking "What can be worse then being stuck in beseen with a bunch of Saban flunkies running around?"

"It is something most evil" Hagar smiles as a radio begins playing a barney CD

"NO!" Everyone screams at the same exact time falling to the ground covering their ears

"Not that ANYTHING but that" Mea calls out

"I... Can't.... take... anymore" Allura says through clenched teeth. Keith cannot hear anything and the PR helmet has been spun all the way around so he is walking around bumping into the wall and trapping over the people on the floor.

"This just.... isn't right" Ken says as he reachs into his pockets trying to find anything he could stuff in his ears to stop the sound.

"We have to stop it!" Mike yells over the blarring sound, but unfortunately Hagar and Zarkon and Lotor had not protected their ears from the music either!

 28b) On board Yagami, the gathered crew and passengers gasped as a light suddenly started flashing on the sensor readout screen.

"On every starship I've ever worked on, a light like that is never good news," said Hunk.

"Really?" Mihoshi's big, blue, pupil-less eyes opened even wider than before, taking up almost two-thirds of her face. "You know, back when I had Yukinojo and my own ship, I used to get those lights all the time."

"And you're still in one piece?" Lance gawked at her. "Geez, I thought I was survivor, and I actually go looking for trouble."

"Well, you don't have to look now. These spatial stress readings are off the scale." Kiyone growled, though her voice surprisingly (or not) still retained its mellifluous texture. "Oh, why did Washu cut her comm link? She always stops helping right when we need her."

"Well, whatever those readings mean, we have to do something. Keith, Allura, and the others are obviously in trouble, since our plan certainly didn't involve dimensional overlap," pointed out Pidge. "But what can we do from here?"

"What??? We're in trouble???" wailed Mihoshi. The waterworks started.

Kiyone groaned. "Damn it, this was a trap from the start. I should never have let them go like that. Time to switch tactics."

"Right," agreed Lance. "We're going to have to go in with a frontal assault, all guns blazing. What kind of firepower does this baby have?"

The waterworks stopped, replaced by idiotic laughter. "Heheee, I never heard Yagami called a baby." More idiotic laughter, as the others stared in, well, not awe. Suddenly, Mihoshi stopped. "Hey, a baby! If we make Yagami really small, nobody could see us, and then we could get inside!" She pulled out a roll of masking tape and started writing.

"You know, that's actually not a bad idea," said Pidge, impressed.

"You don't know Mihoshi," warned Kiyone. She turned to her partner just in time to see her about to stick a piece of tape onto the Yagami command console. "MIHOSHI, NOOO!!!" A blur of blue-green, an "Ow!" from Mihoshi, and Kiyone had the piece of tape in her hands, torn in half.

Three jaws dropped open. "Woooooow," murmured Lance, Pidge, and Hunk.

"Grrr, Mihoshi!" shouted Kiyone in a rage. "If you'd stuck this on Yagami, it would have shrunk without us, and we'd have ended up as splats on the walls!"

"Oh, no, and that would have been bad, huh?" Mihoshi's unique grasp of the situation knocked Hunk unconscious. His last thought: and Pidge pokes fun at ME for being empty-headed.

"Wait a minute," muttered Lance. "I've got it!"

A short while later, one of Yagami's launch bays opened. A 1:8000 scale SDF-1 Macross model shot out in the direction of the dreaded Orb of Evil. As it entered the middle of the defensive network . . .

. . . Pidge applied the piece of masking tape with "100:1" written on it onto the Macross model's box. A 120km-long superdimensional fortress suddenly appeared in front of Yagami, taking out a few of the defense satellites with it.

Inside the Orb, Zarkon fell out of his chair. "Hagar, what in blazes is that???"

"I . . . I have no idea! It wasn't my magic!" screeched the witch.

"Who cares what it is, just shoot back!" Lotor commanded.

The remaining satellites and the Orb itself within seconds opened fire on the massive intruder.

Kiyone's laughter echoed in the bridge, or maybe it was the sound of music echoing through the Alps. "What a great idea, Lance!"

"Oh, well, yeah, I guess." Lance's face flushed red as Pidge tried to think of something to impress Kiyone with. Hunk still lay unconscious on the floor. Lance continued, "By the way, Kiyone, you want to have a drink when this is all over, maybe sing some karaoke?"

Unfortunately for Lance, Kiyone was busy throttling the engines beyond full power and piloting Yagami through the field of satellites and weapons fire. The plastic model Macross, though big, could not take more than a few seconds worth of blasts. A spread of missiles streamed from Yagami and enlarged the landing bay in which the lions had touched down. The starship joined them, and as the Macross fully disintegrated, the Yagami crew, including a now-conscious Hunk, ran toward Keith, Allura, and the others.
29) The already dark room, darkened even more. It was so dark, that it made a moonless light look like a blazing summer day in comparising.
Mike realised that none of the others were right around him, or atleast as far as he could touch. When he tried to call, it was just absorbed by the darkness.
Suddenly the room lightened quite a bit, but it was still very dark. Before him, he could see many eyes looking at him. They were all low to the ground, so must have been small. One of them then made the most horrible noise, "Pika-Pika."
Then he could make out all the eyes were attached to. Dozens of cute, cuddly creatures, including Furbies, rushed over and tackled Mike.
"HELP! GET THEM OFF!"
They were were all cudling him to death. One of them though, just next to his right hear went, "Meow."
He looked over to see what looked like a cross between a rabbit and cat, hence the name cabbit, that had a jewel in her forehead.
"RYO-OHKI!"
Mike grabbed her by the scruff of her neck, sat up and threw her. In the air, she began to metamorphasize, but not into what he had been hoping. Instead of the crystall looking space ship, she had turned into a mecha that looked like a pink bunny!
Mike fell forward in uter horror.
The noise stopped. He could no longer feal the demons crawling all over him. Mike looked up and was momentarilly blinded by the light. Squinting he could make up a short figure with slightly spiked up hair.
"Washu!"
He ran forward and hugged her just because he was so glad to be out of the darkness with all the cuteness.
"All right! All right! Put me down. Lucky for you that I put a locator into your body. I'd rather not see one of my investiments killed."
Putting her down, Mike asked, "What about the others."
"Your group seems to have disappeared into that icky blackness. The Yagami is going in to get them all out. But what bugs me most is that witch!"
"Hagar?"
"Yes, she just keeps messing stuff up. Especially the continuity. Or it could be the Orb of Evil orbitting Castle Doom/Saban, which is supposed to be on Earth. But she is just asking for war!"
"Can I get back into there and help them?"
"Yah." She sat down and started to type away on her sub space computer. To her left, a large gun appeared that looked like Positron Rifle Eva Unit 2 used, just smaller.
"I'm sending you to the Yagami with this." She said handing him the weapon.
Washu's Lab then disappeared to be replaced be the Yagami.

 30) Mike looked around, impressed. "So, this is what it feels like to be aboard Yagami. Too bad Kiyone's not around." He suddenly became burdened with great depression.

"Hey, snap out of it!" Washu's voice emanated from nowhere in particular. "Geez, how come everyone here has a thing for Kiyone?"

"Oh, now that's a hard question," harumphed Mike.

"It's like she's become a female Tenchi or something. Anyway, Mike, everyone else has been taken by that witch's silly magic spell, but not to worry, my SCIENCE will take care of everything!" Washu launched into a mad scientist laugh, and Mike heard two high-pitched voices: "Washu, you're a genius! You're the greatest, Washu!"

Ignoring that, Mike talked to the nowhere in particular: "So you want me to use this mini-EVA positron rifle to disrupt the effects of the magic? All by myself, I can do this?"

"Well, you'll have some help," replied Washu, recovering from her fit. "Uh, actually, I don't know if you can call it help. It's coming your way right now. 'Bye now!"

"Wait, Washu! Washu!" No response. What help could she mean, thought Mike. Just then, Mihoshi stepped into the cockpit. Mike screamed. "What the--? Mihoshi, what are you doing here? I thought everyone was out attacking Lotor, Zarkon, and Hagar."

Mihoshi scratched her head. "Well, you know how these things go, I mean we went to help those other guys, and then they all started screaming when the cute music started and the little cute furry things started jumping around and I thought it was fun but Kiyone didn't seem very happy but she sometimes gets like that and--"

"So, you're saying you didn't get affected?" interrupted Mike.

"Huh? Affected by what? Who are you, anyway?"

"I'm Mike. I stumbled into this story. Hey, don't touch that gun!"

----------------------------------------------------------------

Keith's mind was a chaotic tempest of confusion, pain, and a strange desire to act out ridiculous martial arts maneuvers. He still couldn't see through his helmet, which was turned around on his head, but he could faintly hear his comrades screaming as the most horrendous music (obviously, it wasn't Kiyone this time) played. Suddenly, the power ranger helmet disappeared, as did the need to act out ridiculous martial arts moves, and he received the full effect of Hagar's magic. "AAAAAARRRGGHH!!!" Then, a second later, the darkness, the nasty music, and the furry animals disappeared. "What the--?"

"My, what an . . . experience." Cosgrove didn't seem to be able to produce his usual unflappable tone.

"Yeeerrrg. You did say the one in Des Moines was better?" moaned Freakazoid.

Suddenly, Tamy screamed.

Keith whirled around--wait a minute, he thought. This is . . .. He looked down and saw that he was once again wearing Asuka's red EVA plugsuit. Then what was Tamy--

"AAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUGGGHH!!! Don't look at me, you perverts!" Tamy scurried to cover up what she could. Everyone turned away and gave her some privacy.

"What happened? We came to help you, and then everything went berzerk," said Kiyone.

"You walked into Hagar's psychological trap, just like we did," explained Allura. She turned to Keith. "But why do you think it suddenly stop--Keith, you're wearing that suit again. Did you take it back from Tamy???"

"NOOOOO!!! It's not mine!!! I mean, no, I didn't take it back; it just reappeared on me in place of that other outfit. How did I get that one again anyway?" Keith hurriedly changed the subject.

Mea bounced up and down.

Pidge turned to Keith. "I think that's just the effect of the Orb of Evil. We monitored it reacting to Hagar's initial spell-casting with a spatial distortion. I guess it put you into a personal time loop, so that you relived a portion of your history, beginning with the power ranger outfit bit. Presumably, you'll be back in your own get-up in a few minutes."

"In the meantime," said Lance, "I suppose you should toss that power ranger outfit lying next to you to Tamy."

"Uh, let's see," came Tamy's voice from behind everyone else. "Wear power ranger outfit or go naked? I think I'd actually prefer the latter."

"Watch your eyes, Keith!" snarled Allura. Keith turned to Kiyone instead. Allura punched him.

"Uh, not to make things worse, guys," began Hunk, "but there go Lotor, Zarkon, and Hagar." He pointed down the hall.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

"Hagar, you useless hag, I can't believe you cast that spell on us, too!" ranted Zarkon, as they rounded a corner.

"And you even took your sweet time shutting off that wretched spell!" added Lotor.

Hagar was about to respond in kind when all of a sudden, the trio found themselves facing Mike and Mihoshi, who stood in front of Yagami, still fighting over the rifle.
