Gundam Wing is copyright...Sotsu, I think it is, and I don't own the GW boys. I own a copy of the game EarthBound, however, you're not getting it! So there!

Earth Bound Wing Zero
~By Shimegami-chan
Part 9: Imaginihs
Music: "Butterfly," from Digimon

Warnings: Mild language

Author's Note: Feh...I actually got reviews on that last chapter, but it's not much for the ego. ^^;; I think anyone's who's actually been following this story since chapter 1 knows that it wasn't meant as a serious peice. If you want serious, I'd recommend one of my serials, y'know? This one's always been in script format, also. But thanks for the comments, to those who reviewed...and to quote one, "Maybe if you work on a story next you might get more reviews , try and make it interesting too!" I'm going to take that to mean that they just haven't read any of my serious work, elsewise it'd be more of a blow. I work on the Earth Bound crossover when I'm stressed, or when I'm overdoing things with 'Switch,' or 'Behind Closed Doors.' Most of you will note that this story has gone straight to hell since Heero left Onett; it's full of self-insertion and inside jokes, not to mention tossing in characters from every anime I can think of. It really is fun to write. :-P And as for the rest of my stories, I sincerely hope they're interesting...I mean, I may not be the best at this, but I do put a lot of work into SOME of my stories. (*cough* Death Becomes Him *cough*) I guess I should probably come up with a straight-couple fic sometime soon, and see if I'll draw more readers that way. ^_^ Thanks, everyone!




*The two boys and Shi-chan wake up in a back room in the Fourside Café*

Quatre: ...We're alive...

Shi-chan: *grins* We survived again!

Seki: Are you guys okay?

Shi-chan: Perfectly, kitto OK!

Heero: Hn, let's get out of here. We still have to find Duo.

Quatre: But we have no idea where he is...

Shi-chan: Aha, but I do! I heard the Evil Voice (tm) talking about a place called "Imaginihs."

Seki: Wait, that's the name of the building Yukito-san brought us to!

Heero: Excellent. Let's go there.

*They exit the café, only to be halted by the ringing of Heero's cell phone.*

Heero: Hello?

Howard: Oi, Heero! I just wanted to tell you about this cool thing I invented: the Tea-Flavoured-Ice-Cream-Maker. I'm sending it up to you by courier!

Quatre: Oh, wow, tea-flavoured ice cream? Thanks, Howard!

Heero: Hn. *hangs up*

Random Blue-Eyed Girl Who Just Happens To Have An Item Crucial For The Completion Of The Game (See, I read my reviews! It just took me a while to find a place to fit you in. ^^;;): Wait! Did I hear you talking about tea-flavoured ice cream?

Quatre: Why yes, we were just discussing it! Uh, where did you come from?

Random Blue-Eyed Girl Etc.: Oh! Forgive me! My name is Cherry Blossom, and I work in the Imaginihs Building. My muse, Matteo, just loves tea-flavoured ice cream! Do you happen to have some?

*Ice-Cream Machine drops out of the sky. Shi-chan catches it.*

Shi-chan: We do now.

Quatre: Wait, you can't give that away!

Cherry Blossom: Well, I'll let you think about it. My office is on the fiftieth floor of the Imaginihs Building, come by when you decide! *She exits*

Seki: Wait just a minute here! This is our ticket into the Imaginihs Building, and Duo!

Quatre: You're right! I guess we'll have to sacrifice the machine. *sighs* It sounded so good too...

Shi-chan: *pats him on the back* It's okay. Now! Let's go save Duo!

*The group heads to the Imaginihs Building, which looks considerably safer in the light. They are able to get to the fifth floor without any trouble, telling Security that they've come to see Cherry.*

Heero: That was too easy.

Quatre: *Nods.*

Shi-chan: Well...there's gotta be some enemies around here *somewhere*...

*Suddenly a scaled-down version of Epyon appears in their path*

Heero: NANIIIII?

Epyon: *clunk*

Heero: Um...PSI Wing...C.

Epyon: Clunk. *throws a table at Heero.*

Heero: Hey!

Epyon: Whirr. *Throws an energy blast at Quatre, knocking him out.*

Heero: !

Shi-chan: PSI Authoress C!

Epyon: Omae o korosu. *Throws a chair at Shi-chan, incapacitating her*

Seki: ARRRRG! I CAN'T DO ANYTHING UP HERE!

Heero: ...this is so not fair...PSI Wing B!

Epyon: *seems unaffected*

*All of a sudden, ear-shattering music begins to play, and Epyon's head explodes. Mousse appears out of nowhere and glomps Shi-chan.*

Mousse: SHAMPOO!

Shi-chan: Guess again.

Heero: Oh, no... it's the DUCK band...

Kurama: I heard Quatre calling psychically for help, and we thought you guys could use a little assistance...

Shi-chan: A-arigatou...

Quatre: *wakes up* Huh?

Ryoga: *Laughing maniacally, a la 'Fang Boy.'* Wahahaha! Let's go save Duo!

Ranma: *kicks the door down, revealing a short man in a black cloak.* Eep...uh, we'll wait out here.

Imaginihs: What do you think you're doing!?

Shi-chan: Kicking your ass.

Imaginihs: !

Seki: Hey, wait a minute.. Duo!?

Imaginihs: Heh heh. You look ripe for the taking.

Quatre: Why does that sound so familiar...?

Imaginihs: I AM THE GOD OF DEATH!

Shi-chan: Now wait just a minute here!

Seki: Psst, Shi...there's a braid sticking out from under his cloak...

Shi-chan: Duo?!?

Duo: *voiceover* No! It's not me!

*Pounding can be heard from a nearby closet*

Heero: ... *he goes to the offending closet and opens it, only to be glomp-tackled by Duo.*

Duo: HEE-CHAN!

Seki: *looks confused* But if you're Duo...then who's...

Imaginihs: His life is mine!

Quatre: Okay, that's IT! I've had enough of you! *yanks the cloak off, revealing the two Shinigami-chibis from Winters. Chibi Shi-kun is standing on Chibi Shi-chan's shoulders.*

Chibi Shi-kun: Muahahaha...

Chibi Shi-chan: Muahahaha...

Seki: Oh god, my head is spinning, it looks like there's four Duos down there...

Evil Voice (tm): Oops, I forgot about that

*purple smoke appears...and now there are only three Duos.*

Duo: Nani?

Shi-chan: Damn...I'm not onscreen anymore...and it was so interesting down there too!

*The two chibis have gotten at the ice cream machine and are eating Tea Ice Cream.*

Quatre: Hey, don't touch that!

Evil Voice #2: Damn, foiled again...

Duo: Oh my God, guys! I have to tell you, the one who kidnapped me...

Hilde: Was ME! MUAHAHAHAHA!

Heero: Hilde!?!?

Shi-chan: I never liked that girl...

Hilde: That's right! And don't think I won't be coming back for you, Duo Maxwell! MUAHAHAHAHA! *she disappears*

Quatre: *blinks*

Duo: Hai, she tricked the chibis into helping her...in case you didn't notice, 'Imaginihs,' is 'Shinigami,' spelled backwards. But she was behind it, her and her 'dark masters,'...

Seki: 'Dark Masters?'

Duo: Yeah! There are three Evil Voices (tm) in all, but they wear voice synthesizers to sound evil! 'Cause, Hilde took hers off when she explained that she was behind it. I don't know who her masters are though.

Heero: I see...

Shi-chan: I have a brilliant idea. Let's give Cherry the ice-cream maker and get the heck outta this city.

Duo: Ice-cream maker? Where?

Quatre: Sorry, Duo, it only makes tea-flavoured ice-cream.

Duo: Aww...

*Leaving the chibis with a bowl of ice cream each, our heroes, author, and muse head to Cherry's office.*

Cherry Blossom: Ah! So you've decided to let me have the machine?

Quatre: Sure, take it off our hands!

Matteo: Yatta! Ice cream!

Seki: Hoo boy...

*Leaving Cherry and Matteo with the ice-cream maker, the gang heads downstairs to meet up with the members of DUCK.*

Kurama: Can we offer you guys a ride?

Ryoga: Where are you heading?

Mousse: Are you sure you're not Shampoo?

Shi-chan: Yes we'd love a ride, we're going to Threed, and yes, I'm sure.

Mousse: Aww...

Ryoga: Great, I'm driving. <---the eternal lost boy

Mousse: I'll navigate! <---blind

Duo: Cool, I'll keep everybody entertained! <---God spare us

Shi-chan: This is gonna be a long trip...






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

Shi-chan: ^_^ I feel much better now! Yatta!
Seki: *nods*
Shi-chan: And I've got my muse back!
Quatre: Thank God!
Duo: Aw, nuts.
