[Scene: the Bric HQ. Various Brics are scattered all around inside the base, 
some with weapons they're tweaking and practicing with. Some are at 
watchpoints near windows peeking out at the group of FemiNazis not far off. 
Some are eating cake in the kitchen.]

|Pat|: Mmmm... caaakkee.... *munchstuffmuffle*

|Cici|: Hey! We want some too! *bops unaware Pat-in-cake-eatin-bliss* 
Heeeeeyyy!

|lina kitty|: Mreow... -_-

|Cici|: Oh, like anyone asked you!

[Elsewhere, there is an impromptu council of war going on the side of the base 
nearest the FemiNazis.]

|Ping|: So... *turns to Benzaiten and Becky* these FemiNazis are not only 
extremely powerful with various elemental attacks, take on the names of female 
deities, and currently outnumber us, but they want to destroy all men in our 
faction and won't listen to reason, have I missed anything?

|Vero|: Sounds like enough to me >_< *glares at group of FN in distance and 
sticks out tongue*

|Benzaiten|: That's the basics. They've been building a powerbase for quite 
some time apparently, and just looking for a likely target, which for some 
reason is you and all our other male members. They're convinced that this 
faction, since it's "ruled" by men, is oppressing all it's female members and 
that said females are too brainwashed to see it.

|Ping|: *looks sidelong at Becky* But that's just crazy! o_o ..... *to others* 
Um... do you guys think we're oppressing you? ^^;; I don't think we are...

|Vero|: *smiles* Of COURSE NOT, Ping! We're all here because we want to be. 
We're a team, and anyway, why else would we put up with all this craziness if 
we didnt' have to? Those FemiNazis are just loco.

|Becky|: They're here to "liberate" us really. *rolls eyes*

|Benzaiten|: If you call slaughtering our friends for no good reason and 
claiming it's justified for our sake and the sake of all women "liberating." 
*crosses arms and looks out at FN* The problem is... I have no idea just how 
powerful they actually are. My training trip was just so I could boost my own 
power enough to take on what I observed for a moment in their headquaters, who 
knows how extensive their resources actually are. *sigh*

[silence. Then Jeff, so far silent and standing aside from the others, starts 
to speak and the others turn to look at him.]

|Jeff|: *serious, eyes downward, arms crossed* If things are that serious... 
then we shouldn't try to go this alone. It's like Vero said... we're a team. 
We're going to have to all work together on this one. *looks up straight into 
Ping's eyes, slightly quieter, humbled* Because we're our best when we're 
together.

[Ping looks at Jeff for a moment longer, eyes hard and serious, searching, 
then nods once firmly.]

|Ping|: That's right. *squeezes Becky's arm* We depend on each other for our 
survival, because we know we can trust each other with our lives.

|Benzaiten|: *clears throat* Um, excuse me, teamwork speeches are great, but 
that's not what's going to beat down the FemiNazi hoard gathering on our front 
lawn. What we need is more power.

|Ping|: What we need... is more Brics.

[Hair and loose clothing are whipped back (er, that's in towards the building 
from outside ^^) with a massive explosive blast outside. The group huddled 
inside the door are now covered in soot spots and wide-eyed. After a second of 
blinking, all assume a ready stance, Vero moves her foot off the "mat" and the 
doorway opening disapears.]

|Becky|: Wha... O_O *wipes off soot-spots* What was THAT?! *pulls out a flag*

|Benzaiten|: *moves past Jeff towards window* Maybe you better stay away from 
there. *looks out window* THAT... is a pink mushroom cloud and some angry 
looking FemiNazis.

|Vero|: *looking over Benzai. shoulders* LOOK! *points* Who's that?

|Becky|: *crowding in at window* It's a girl in a bunny suit! O_O

|Vero|: Is that a missle launcher she's got? Ooooo! And who's the cute guy 
next to her yelling panic-stricken Japanese?

|Becky|: ^^; It's mostly obscenities... and oh! That one was "AIIIEEE!!"

|Benzaiten|: -_- Thank you for the translation. But who IS it?

|Ping|: *fist in palm, wide-eyed* Oh yeah! Ehehe ^^; *hand behind head* I just 
remembered, we have a new member. Her name is uhh... *looks at member cheat 
sheet in his pocket* Pink... and she carries a missle launcher and wears a 
bunny suit... and has a j-rocker clone... Sounds right. O_O GAH! She must be 
trying to make it to base! Let her in! Let her in!

[Vero steps on mat again, door opens and as Benzaiten and Ping move to help 
Pink a barrage of FemiNazi weapons and power-blasts come crashing in. Both 
jump back and Vero hastily moves her foot.]

|Ping|: Well, that's no good! I don't understand though... *looks back at Pink 
info* It says here that she has a Gate, like Kunou. Couldn't she just 
transport her way in?

|Vero|: Er... leader-guy... didn't you set up an field repelling any non-Bric 
signatures from getting in the base way back when, including transporters? 
Maybe Pink's not registered in the base security system yet.

|Ping|: >_< D'oh! I KNEW there was something I forgot to do! *all sweatdrop* 
Well, since we can't take down the shield cause of the FemiNazis, we'll just 
have to transport her in ourselves from teh inside. And thaaaat wiiiilll 
wooork becaaaaauuse ... *works out logic* Because I'm the Moderator and I say 
we can.

[In the kitchen, Ping and others arrive taking an inventory of who's where. 
Vero goes in further to see Trebane who's sitting on the floor, Becky sits 
down at table with Cici who's feeding her Lina-kitty some fish, Pat munches 
down on a huge platter of goodies in a lil state of Patty happiness.]

|Pg-chan|: Oh, hello! ^_^ How's the surveilence coming?

|Benzaiten|: I'm not sure whether it's good or bad. There's still the 
FemiNazis, but a new member, Pink, just showed up to help with a missle 
launcher.

|Pg-chan|: Oh my. Would you like some steak?

|Jeff|: o_o *blink* Whah..? Erg, confused...! >_<

|Ping|: Awww heeelll no! Not now, Jeff! O_O We need you, man! *shakes Jeff 
who's trying to clear his head*

|Lee|: Just give him a minute.

|Pg-chan|: *lies a huge tray of steaks down in front of Trebane, ties a lil 
bib on him* There you go! ^_^ *to Ping* Mr. Ping, what brings you here? Would 
you all like some lunch? You and Mr. Jeff were out for a long time. Becky, 
Benzaiten, how was your training trip? Do you feel spiritually enlightened and 
ready to kick keister?

|Becky|: Er... YES. *sees Ping sit down next to her carefully* Still a little 
tender? *worried* I can do another healing for you if you're still in pain.. 
*gets up a lil*

|Ping|: *catches her arm* No.. no, I'm okay. Just a little tired. Get some 
food and rest in me and I'll be fine.

|Pg-chan|: Oh dear! Were you hurt, Mr. Ping? I felt something before... but I 
got distracted. How are you feeling? *worriedworriedworried*

|Ping|: Er.. o_o; *backs away a little from looming Pg-chan in his face* No, 
no, that's okay. I'm okay. Becky-chan healed me right up, see? See? *waves 
arms* Just fine! *whacks one arm on the table* Ow... I mean, MAN, I'm feeling 
so HEALTHY! Ehehe.. ^_^;;; *waves away Becky and Pg-chan*

|Pg-chan|: Oooookay... if you're sure. *thoughful, cocks head, finger to 
cheek* Why didn't you just get me from the kitchen if you needed healing 
instead of waiting for Becky?

|Benzaiten|: Predetermined plot point.

|Pg-chan|: Ah. *nod* But what about that new member you just mentioned? Where 
is Pink?

[Outside, Pink and her Hyde-clone are running like mad for the base, Pink 
biting anyone that tries to get her and blasting all that dare grab at her 
Hyde, who is yelling like a madman and running for his life from a mob of 
crispy-looking and very angry FemiNazis.]

|Pink|: OOOOIIII! Get your butch mitts OFFA him! *fires missle launcher at 
FemiNazi, barely missing Hyde* He's MINE!

|Hyde|: O_O *flailing* WHAT THE F* ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT, PINKU?! WE NEED TO 
GET OUTTA HERE!!!! AUUUUUGGGH! *kicks at encroaching FN* PIIIINNNKKKUUUUUU!!!! 
*gets tackled, JUMPS up and takes wild swings at FNs with the butt of his 
rifle* MOU!!!

|voice above|: Moi?

[Pink and hyde (well, not hyde, he's too busy fighting for his life and 
panicking) look up to see Jade materilize in a discreet burst of flame 
floating in the air.]

|Jade|: *ducks a FN blast* Whoa! Well, whoever you are, you're a fellow Bric, 
and you're coming with me, Bunny-girl. *slips arm under Pink's and grabs hold*

|Pink|: Who are YOU?! O_O *gets ready to bite if necessary*

|Jade|: *wink* The Bric HQ calvary! Ping says you're a new member, and Brics 
always look out for our own! You too, cutie. *picks Hyde up by his shirt 
collar and glomps ahold of him* And awwaaaaay we go! *all disappear in a burst 
of green flame*

[In the kitchen... ]

|Pg-chan|: Ah. *nod* But what about that new member you just mentioned? Where 
is Pink?

|Jade|: *materilizing in a burst of flame, dropping down feet first on the 
floor* Ta-da! *lets her passengers go* Take a load off, newbies! Have some 
pie.

|Cici|: Awww, just when I got it away from Pat...

|Hyde|: *looking around* Pie? Patu? Eh? N-nani? o_o *blinkblinkblink*

|Ping|: *to Pink* You're Pink, right? *Benzaiten helps Pink up* I'm sorry 
about the trouble ^^; Just go down to the basement and Foster will take all 
your stats for the system so you can get in next time.

|Becky|: Cute outfit, Pink. I'm Becky-chan, nice to meet you! *shakes her 
hand*

|Pg-chan|: *bows* Hello ^_^ Would either of YOU like some steak?

|Pink|: Steak? O_O

|Jeff|: Actually, I kind of want one now... 9_9;

|Vero|: Have anything with mole?

|Pg-chan|: Well, there's lobster, will mole go with that?

|Pink|: LOBSTER! O_O *sparkly eyes*

|Benzaiten|: People, people! Can we FOCUS?

To Be Continued! ^^; I guess.
