It's August, so I'd say I missed the deadline.

    ". . .The blast was unusually concentrated, and defies
absolutely all the laws of physics, dynamics, and dimensional theory

Like most blasts in manga and anime.

It is one of the great mysteries of the universe, given that it could
not possibly have existed or have been generated by any known or even
theoretical phenomenon. Equally impossible is the fact that the world
upon which it was unleased could have remained intact. The event,
though recorded and analyzed by several million respected scientists
from tens of thousands of sentient races is generally considered an
error, a lie, or at best a mass hallucination. University students
and the scientific community at large are warned that research into
this subject is strictly prohibited(see ArbyFish Blast Event
Research; Legal Penalties: Captial Punishment)."

Heh.

    -The Great Encyclopedia of Absolutely Everything and Anything
in the Universe and in Space and Time, Building 4, Floor 3, Station
5a, theme: ArbyFish Blast Event, The.

    "Darn Roight! We'z knows 'ow to blow 'em up roight noicely, we
does."
    -The official ArbyFish response to the above statement, signed
and endorsed by the Green Counsel at Batterspoon.

Nice humor in your standard (for you), outstanding delivery.

    NONE OF YOUR RACE HAS EVER DIED BEFORE.

    "'Course we 'ave! Whoy, there wuz Flanburger just last week!"

    HE GOT BETTER.

Of course.

    "Don't make me destroy yew, loike Oye destroyed that Monkey."

    YES, WELL, COME WITH ME. YOUR TIME IS UP.

    "Are there mushrooms in Heaven?"

    A FEW.

    "Oh, goodie!"

Hmm. Didn't expect him to go along quite so quietly. Wonder if he'll stay
deaders.

    It was near dawn, and darkness reigned over the city of Tokyo.
The electricity had been out for several hours, though workers and
officials had been trying to make repairs and establish a firm idea
of what in Dennis Rodman's name had just happened.

Nah. Drop the DR line. Not good. Maybe substitute some other contemporary
figure.

    Other than the billions of yen of property damage, it wasn't
that much of a deal. I mean, what remained was amazingly preserved,
aside from a broken window here and a fallen-out wall there. Nothing
serious, though a really big, fat sumo-wrestler at the rim of the
crater must have been really hung-over from the party last night,
due to the fact that as he began his morning showering routine, he
failed to notice that half the bathroom was missing.

Heh

    She recalled the night before. She had a dream; she felt that
someone was calling her; she felt that someone was saying his last
goodbye to her. From the looks of the crater, she presumed that there
had been some sort of climactic battle, and felt that one very close
to her was sacrificed in the process. She had called out Arby's name
when she awoke from her dream. He may not have survived, but what of
the others? Were they gone as well?

Bit inconvient for Crystal Tokyo if that's the case. Now they'll have to be
reincarnated again.

    Luna shook her head. She couldn't lose hope. No, she wouldn't
lose hope. They had to have survived. She didn't know how, but they
just had to. The mooncat took a breath and called upon her telepathic
abilities. Perhaps she could find where to continue her search.

    *Shhhhhh* The crescent moon on her forehead began to glow
brighter little by little, the light grew in intensity, and in pair

in a pair

of seconds, it dimmed once more.

    Luna sensed them. Yes, they were alive. One, two, three,
four--Serena, Raye, Amy, Terra--they were all there. She breathed
a sigh of relief. She repeated the search and felt the presence of
Tuxedo Mask--Darien,

Too bad.

    Ukkyo flinched, placing her giant battle-spatula to the side,
taking in for a moment her newly moistened condition and considered
how to respond. "Look, I didn't know about it until I asked your
computer what that big flash outside last night was!"

    "Hmm," 'Tim mused, "okay. But do you know who ate who? A fight
with sayajins isn't finished until the other's completely devoured."
He paused. "Or, at least, that's the way _I_ liked to do it."

Heh

    "Plus, there doesn't seem to be any reason for Fate to
get in the way. We've both got enough power to protect ourselves
if someone else does, and I don't have any other romantic
entanglements that come to mind."

    "I don't have anyone else either. I'm in a strange world
and I think you're the best thing in it. Before you, all I can
remember is death, fighting, and evil. There was no love there.
You're different. I like you better."

Wait until they've been married for a couple of years and 'death, fighting,
and evil come back twice as bad as before since it'll all be directed at
each other. :)

    "Like the fact that yesterday we got our tails kicked from here
to New Jersey and back," Raye said, her speech varying in emphasis.
"Terra's mom knows our secret identities, Amy's in the hospital,
Terra's so weak she can barely stand, your prism's broken and," she
threw open the curtains beside them, "there's a THREE-MILE-WIDE
CRATER IN THE MIDDLE OF TOWN!!!"

Sailor Moon: So it looks like any ole chunk of the Mid-east. Big deal.

    "Visiting hours aren't until four. We'll go after school. But
meanwhile, we need to figure out what to do if the Negaverse attacks
again soon.

Sailor Moon: Surrender?

Mars: Has potential.

    The priestess shivered. "Death. Destruction. Murder.

My in-laws dropped by Raye's? Interesting.

 All

caused by _him_. I don't think he's with Nephrite or anyone, but-"

Starknight: More like freelance evil, it's true.

    Serena's frown faded and she began to laugh. "Oh, don't worry,
Raye! You're just being paranoid. He CAN'T be evil or anything like
that. He's just not the type."

    "Not the type?! You've seen him fight, haven't you?"

Turns the opposition into kibble, he does.

    "But that's just against badguys!"

bad guys (Got to sneak an actual grammar comment in there somewhere)

    *VROOOOOOOOM!* The two rushed out, completely forgetting to
leave a tip.

Methinks they'll pay for that at Ukkyo's hands at somepoint. At least,
knowing you.

     Ok.]

    *Squeak!* A fuzzy, eight-legged, rabbity bug chose that moment
to hop out of a crack in the divine machinery and onto the goddess'
shoulder. Skuld stared at it.

Of course.

    "Careful. She's the girl with all the gnarly powers."
    "Really? She doesn't look at all violent."
    "Want to test that? I dare you to invite her out."
    "Uhhhhhhhhh, no."
    "Anyone seen Terra?"
    "Hey, anyone seen Molly?"
    "Yeah, where's Buckwheat, for that matter?"
    "I be ova' here, sho'fry!"

Heh.

Amusing work, as always. Sorry I couldnt' be more helpful. Nice to have
finally gotten to the next chapter of this amusing fic.
