Robot are in their morning robes, watching television and drinking their morning coffee. Fresh from the shower, Mike comes out of his quarters and greets the robots. "G'morning, Tom. Crow. Watching Saturday Morning Cartoons?" Mike asked. "Well, sort of," Crow said. "We've gotten tired of Winnie the Pooh and such..." "...So we've decided to start watching Anime tapes Saturday morning." "Aha," Mike said, "And this is supposed to be the part where I ask you where you got the money to pay for these tapes from, and where you tell me that you got it by using my credit card." "Nope, not at all," Crow said. He reached over and pushed the pause button. "Mike, come to the computer, if you please." Crow walked over to the SOL's computer and logged onto the internet. "You see, Mike, I put up a website advertising the fact that we're up here in space, struggling to save out sanity, and any Anime tapes sent to us would be of great help." "And they get these tapes here...how?" Mike asked. "They use a gravity catapult." "A gravity catapult?!? What's that, and how the heck did they get one? And who are 'they,' while we're at it." "Why, Mike, the Anime and MSTing community, of course," Crow said, walking over. "They've been very helpful." "Oh, the...THE MSTING COMMUNITY!" Mike shouted. "You guys broke the Fourth Wall just to get your hands on some free anime tapes?!? The Interuniversal Police will be onto us..." "Uh, Mike, the Interuniversal Police are hailing us." Tom called. "They say that they have a warrant for the arrest of one Crow T. Robot and his acoomplices Mike Nelson and Tom Servo. "Great, just great. I hope you've got an idea how to take care of this, Crow!" "Cool you jets, Mike! I bought this cloaking device from the Romulans." Crow pushed a button on a remote-control type thing he was carrying. "Cambot, give me rocket number nine!" Mike said. Outside the SOL, the Interuniversal Police vessels, armed to the teeth, started pulling away, apparently confused about the disappearance of their target. Back on the SOL, Mike asked Crow, "And I suppose you bought that cloaking device with your anime tapes?" "No, Mike, the Romulans wouldn't accept Bishuojo Senshi Sailor Moon, Neon Genesis Evangelion, OR Fushugi Yuugi as legal tender. So I had to use your credit card." "Why you..." Mike said, his face turning bright red. He turned to Cambot, smiled momentarily and said, "We'll be right back." <...only nine, ninety nine, ninety nine, ninety nine...> Mike has apparently taken out all of his frustration on Crow, so he is now smiling happily. "Welcome back," he said. The mad's light flashes on his right. "Oh! President Clark and Morden are calling." He hit the button. "Good morning, boobies," Dr. Forrester greeted the SOL team. "I believe we shall begin with our invention exchange. Mike, care to go first?" "No problem, Dr. F. This one was Crow's idea, so we'll let him take care of it." "A-Ahem!" Crow said, clearing his throat. "We all know just how hideous Anime villians are, and thus we want a means to protect ouselves from them! A means availalable to the common man! We have..." Crow fumbled around below the desk on the bridge, "The Akio repellant," he held up a key chain with a plastic figure of Akio on it, "The Beryl repellant," another keychain with a figurine, "And the Touga repellant," another keychain. "But Crow," Tom cut in. "Neither Akio, nor Touga, nor Beryl are anywhere NEAR here!" "That means it's working, doesn't it?" "Pretty pathetic, I must say! An Akio repellant! Pfah! I'll show you a REAL invention!" Dr. Forrester pulled up a device that looked a lot like ea hand gun. "Uh, Professor," Mike objected, "hasn't the handgun ALREADY been invented?" "Of course, lamebrain!" Dr. Forrester snapped. "But this isn't a mere handgun! It's a gender-change gun!" "A gender-change gun?" Tom asked. "How do you do that?" "Oh, some hammerspace physics. Observe. FRANK!" Frank walked in only to be zapped with the gender-change gun. When the smoke cleared, there stood a female version of Frank in his place. "Dr. F, what gives?" Frank asked in a decidedly higher voice. "Of course, it's fully reversable," Dr. Forrester said, and zapped him again. "Very clever, sir, but how does this help you take over the world?" Mike asked. "Well, by itself, it doesn't. BUT! In conjunction with a time machine I found sitting around..." he ran to another room for a moment and heaving is heard. "Frank! Help me out with this!" Forrester shouted. Slowly, a strange contraption came into view, presumably the time machine. "In conjunction with THIS, I can go back in time, more specifically to a time when gender was considered fundamental to personality and individual roles, say, 1850. Thus, I can bring twentieth-century gender-bending angst to the ninteenth century,and while the people and governments of the world are suffering from existential doubts, I move in and take over! MWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!" "Yikes, Doctor, that IS evil. But what about temporal paradox?" Mike asked. "Temporal paradox?" Dr. Forrester asked. "Yeah, well..." Mike said, "You can't have an effect that preceeds a cause, which you'll create as soon as you use the technology you bring back with you, and so the universe will have to either cancel out everything you do...or annihlate itself past 1850." "Hmm...damn it. Well...this thing is sure to come in handy sometime." Dr. Forrester tossed the gender-change gun on the desk. "But anyway, to your fic! An Utena lemon called 'Victory's Spoils! Enjoy, boobies!" Dr. Forrester pushes a button. Back on the SOL, lights and buzzers are flashing and sounding. "WE'VE GOT LEMON SIGN!!!" >This is my own work, based on the series Revolutionary Girl Utena. >Thank you! >Well, hello again! I got a lot of great feedback on my first lemon, "A Dish Best Served Cold" ::plugplug:: and am thus inspired to do another. Crow: Malahelicon strikes again. >I'm assuming the readers of this will be familiar with the series, but I've added snippets for those who haven't. Here's that disclaimer thingy again: *ahem* Tom: Mike: Crow: Mike: Weezing... >this story contains graphic depictions of a sexual nature and should be read only by those mature enough to deal with such images. Tom: Oh! Too bad. Bye, Mike. Mike: Oh, no you don't. >If you still have the urge Mike: Then go pee, for crying out loud! >to tell me I'm evil and wrong for writing such things, get over it. Mike: Whoo, harsh. >I COULD have done a Touga/Nanami story. O.o Ready? Here we go! Crow: Incest is best, so put your sister to the test! > Victory's Spoils Tom: Since when did victory have an expiration date? Crow: Tom, what would be "Victory Spoils." > a Revolutionary Girl Utena lemon by Rukochan >Anthy, so quiet and reserved during the day, snored like a buzzsaw Mike: She's cutting down the duelling forest. >at night, much to the annoyance of her roommate, Utena Tenjou. All: > Utena peeked over the edge of the upper bunk down at the girl and gave an exasperated sigh. It was bad enough with Anthy, Crow: ...but now she wanted to include Akio in their intimate moments, too! >but Anthy's pet monkey Chuchu chimed along, his mouth open and drooling. Tom: They'll have to wade through the monkey-drool in the morning. > Utena flopped back down, staring up at the ceiling. Tom: It was a VERY GOOD ceiling, but that's not what the fic is about. >Her life had just been too weird over the last few months. Unwittingly she had Mike: Started an inexorable chain of events that would bring down the Ohtori Academy, and only Bill and Ted can stop it! Tom & Crow (Bill & Ted): EXCELLENT! Mike (Bill): Dude, do we WANT to save the Ohtori Academy...? All (Bill & Ted): Naw! >been dragged into the power-games Crow: It's like United States politics, only less violent. >of Ohtori Academy's student council, and had, in a fencing Duel, somehow won the game's prize pawn, Anthy Himemiya, the Rose Bride. Tom : Step right up! Knock the rose off this duellist, and win a prize! >Utena still didn't know the significance of the Duels, or Anthy's role as the Rose Bride, and Anthy wasn't offering any information. Mike: > Anthy would just give Utena her patented wide-eyed smile and say sweetly, "Why, it means we're engaged, Miss Utena." Tom : In a struggle to the death! Die, Utena, die! > "Would you stop saying that!" Utena would argue. "Why are you the Bride? Why do you have to do everything I say? And what's with the >sword?" Mike : You have a sword of your own? Crow : No... Mike : Then stop complaining! > "Those are the Mysteries; I cannot tell you." Tom: Tonight, on Unsolved Mysteries, the Ohtori Academy. Is the fate of the world to be decided on these grounds? >And that was that. Utena and Anthy danced around the subject Mike: Well, it DOES take two to tango. > many times after that to no avail. > Anthy had also neglected to tell Utena about Akio. Crow : Why didn't you TELL me that there was a guy who can corrupt people by having sex with them just walking around the campus?!? Mike : I just didn't think you'd be interested.... > Akio Ohtori was Dean of Students, and Anthy's older brother. Crow: Like I said, incest is best. >Utena finally met him, and had been greatly impressed by his beauty. Like Anthy, he was dark-skinned, though his hair was a lighter shade of purple. Mike: Was he a one-eyed, one-horned flying purple people eater? Crow: No Mike, he was a two-eyed, horny, walking heroine corrupter. Mike: Oh... >He also exuded the same rose-scent that Anthy did, Tom: "Essence of Tuxedo Mask," by Kalvin Klein. >which reminded Utena of her childhood. Utena had been slightly flustered by this, and Akio took advantage of the situation and stole a kiss from her. Crow : Neener, neener, Utena-chan, I have your kiss! > Utena reached under her pajama top, running her hand over her breasts and shivering slightly at the memory of Akio's lips on hers. Mike: Or was it a gust of cold wind that thinking of Akio sometimes invokes? >As a child, she had been comforted after her parents' death by a traveling Prince, who had enfolded her in a rose-scented embrace Tom: Man, whomever is selling that "Essence of Tuxedo Mask" must be making bank. >and kissed her tears away. Was Akio her Prince...? Tom: No! No! Mike: NoNo! No! Crow: Don't make that mistake, Utnea-SAMAAAAA! >There was something about him that made her weak-kneed when she looked at him. Tom: Utena-sama, that shakiness in your knees is a healthy fear of the innately evil, nothing more. >She gently pinched her nipples, and gave a little gasp. Crow: And promptly took it back. > Well, she was having trouble sleeping anyway; she decided to indulge a bit. Mike: I have a roommate, but what the heck! > She slipped her other hand down her pajama bottoms as well, reaching between her legs. She was already wet thinking about Akio; Mike: No! No! Tom: NoNo! No! Crow: NOT AKIO, UTENA-SAMAAAA!!! >she slipped a finger between her folds, seeking her clit. Mike: >Her fingertip found it, sending a little jolt of pleasure Tom : PI-KA-CHUUUUUUU! >through her, and she gasped again, louder. "Miss Utena, are you all right?" Crow : Oh...uh...yes...perfectly fine, haha. > She froze, then turned her head to see Anthy's own night-capped head gazing sleepily at her. Utena could feel the blush go to her toes. Tom: Isn't it customary to take your makeup OFF before going to bed? > Anthy put on her glasses, then looked at Utena again. "Miss Utena, are you masturbating?" Crow : Well, strange that you should ask that, Anthy. > Utena wanted to hide; Anthy picked the worst times to be straightforward. Mike: You can say that again. Crow: Hey, that would be a good slogan for the Department of Redundancy Department. Mike: Do we have Jamie's permission to use that one? Crow: We do. Mike: Good. > Anthy climbed to the upper bunk and knelt at Utena's feet, and began tugging at Utena's pajama bottoms. > "Ack!" Utena grabbed the waistband just in time. "Anthy, what the hell are you doing?" Mike : Having sex with you? Crow : Is that your final answer? > "Why, I'm going to do my best to relieve you; Tom: Uh, Himemiya, I THINK she can pee by herself. >I'm your Bride after all." > "I'm sick of hearing that!" Utena barked, Mike: Arf, woof. >wrenching her legs out of Anthy's reach. "You don't HAVE to do everything I say or even imply!" Tom I believe I do. Want me to look it up? > Anthy gazed at Utena levelly. "Miss Utena, you're always asking me what I want. Crow : You see, Mr. Morden takes care of what I want. >As the Rose Bride what I want most is to make the person I'm engaged to happy," Mike : Happy, happy, joy, joy... >she said softly, crawling forward. She unbuttoned Utena's pajama top, then took hold of one of Utena's breasts. Crow: Lock-on. >"Let me pleasure you, Miss Utena." Mike : Let me think about that no. > Utena gasped as Anthy's mouth closed on her nipple. Tom: > "Anthy, stop..." she quavered, sounding unconvincing even to her own ears. "This isn't right. I can't make you do this..." Mike : Care to look it up? > "You aren't, Miss Utena," whispered Anthy. She pulled off Utena's pajama bottoms, and gently stroked Utena's thighs. Tom: Now I'm hungry for chicken. Crow: Chicken thighs, anyone? >"I want to do this for you." She rested Utena's legs on her shoulders, and began to gently kiss along Utena's labia. Mike : O! Utena's labia, how do I love thee... >Utena lay very still as Anthy's lips traced across her folds, and gave a soft moan as Anthy's lightly probing tongue came in contact with her clit. Mike : Woo-hoo! Tom Woo hoo? > Outside the haunted dorm, Kageshoujo Eiko and Kageshoujo Biiko stood >silhouetted against a wall, Eiko with binoculars in hand and peering into the room Utena and Anthy shared. Crow: I've heard of peeping Thomases, but peeping Thomasinas? > "Do you know?" began Eiko. "Do you really know? Have you heard the news? Mike: Hey, Tom Brokaw got shot with the gender-change gun! >The Hero is finally tasting the spoils of her victory!" Mike: Yes, and it's gone sour too. >She looked closer. "Or rather the Bride is tasting the Hero..." Tom: Ta-tum, CRASH! > Biiko grabbed the binoculars from her pigtailed companion to see for herself. Mike: All in favor of skipping the obvious Kuno reference? Others: Aye. > "Oh, brave Hero!" she piped, fending off Eiko, who tried desperately to get the binoculars back. "Will she prove victor on this battle field as well?" Tom: Well, love IS a battlefield, but I wouldn't call THIS "love". > Anthy ceased her lapping for a moment to look up at Mike: When did they decide to go swimming? >Utena as best she could through her fogged glasses. >"Do you truly think this isn't right, Miss Utena?" Crow: I'll give you three guesses. > "Oh god, Mike : Yes? >Anthy," Utena sighed, reaching down to run her fingers through the other girl's lovely purple hair. "Don't stop on me now!" Tom: Stop! In the name of love, er, sex! > "All right," Anthy said in her perkiest manner, then she began to work on Utena's clit; she suckled, nibbled, and licked until Utena was >gasping and bucking her hips against Anthy's face. Tom: Yee-haw! Ride-em, Anthy! > Utena's face burned as words poured from her lips, urging Anthy on. > "Oh Anthy, yes! Just like that. Lick me, my Bride, keep licking. Oh my sweet Bride!" Mike: Calm down, you haven't brought the World Revolution YET. > Anthy trailed her tongue down over the pink inner lips of Utena's cunt, catching every droplet she could of the other's arousal. She returned to pay homage to Utena's clit, pressing and flicking her tonguetip under the hood, Tom: Anthy is in the 'hood. >then she applied passionate kisses to it. Anthy then moved downward and inserted her tongue as deep into Utena as she could. > Utena quivered in Anthy's embrace, pointing her toes in ecstasy as she cried out. Mike : SPOOOOOOON!!! > "The Hero is succumbing to the skill of the Bride," said Biiko, shivering as Eiko reached into Biiko's panties. Mike: Oh! Random sex act! Yuck factor four! >"Poor brave Hero, to have lost!" > "But love is a different type of battle," remarked Eiko, making another grab for the binoculars while Biiko was distracted. She looked through them, rubbing her companion's mount in the meantime. "Can there >be only one victory in this case?" Crow: Once again, I'll give you three guesses. > Utena sat up suddenly, making Anthy tumble back with a surprised >squeak. Tom: Hey, it's that mouse from before Anthy cleaned up. > "Miss Utena?" > Utena said nothing; she gathered Anthy in her arms and covered the other girl's face and neck with kisses. > "Oh Miss Utena..." > "Anthy, lovely as that is, I can't let you continue," Mike : No means no. >Utena said softly; she laid Anthy down, lifting up Anthy's nightgown and removing her glasses again. Utena straddled Anthy's legs, toying Tom : Don't toy with me! >with Anthy's breasts with one hand and tugging gently at the nipples, while her other hand ran across the girl's belly. > Now it was Anthy's turn to gasp. "Here I am as your Champion, and I've been neglecting you, haven't I?" Crow: Objection, your honor, leading the witness! >Utena used her knee to part Anthy's legs, rubbing it against her cunt. "You keep this room spotless, you've been making lunch for me, and all without complaint; let me do something for you, Anthy." Tom: A little quid pro quo? > "Miss Utena, I can't..." > "Can't let me do this?" Utena grinned down at the dark-skinned girl squirming beneath her. "I remember saying that to you just a few minutes ago, and you blithely ignored me. Now it's my turn." Mike: Utena is back, and she wants revenge on the woman who sexually harassed her! > She leaned forward to kiss the girl, gently forcing her tongue into Anthy's mouth. Anthy's eyes widened, then closed as she opened her mouth to give Utena her own tongue. They kissed tenderly, Anthy's arms moving upward to shyly embrace Utena. Crow: Oh, NOW she's shy. > "That is as it should be," said Eiko in Biiko's ear, handing her the binoculars to have another look, then turning her attentions to Biiko's breasts. "Both the Hero and her Bride lovely as lilies Mike: Always aviod annoying alliteration! >in eachother's arms." > "But nothing more than an unfortunate Duel can separate them," sighed Biiko. "Don't you know? Don't you really know?" Tom: No, but do you know? Mike: Do you know? Crow: Do you really know? All: WE DON'T CARE! > The smell of roses was almost overpowering as Anthy became more and more aroused, Crow: Oh, sick! I did NOT need to know how they made "Essence of Tuxedo Mask!" >making Utena feel pleasantly dizzy as she lightly played her fingers along Anthy's clit and labia. Utena tucked a random lock of her pink >hair behind her ear, and pulled her lips away from Anthy's, flicking Mike: Just flicking the channels. >her tongue against Anthy's lower lip. > "If you are my Bride, I need to treat you as such, don't I?" she said, sliding a few fingers into Anthy. Crow: Slip n' slide. > "Miss Utena, yes..." breathed Anthy, involuntarily raising her hips. > Utena rubbed herself against Anthy's leg as she fucked Anthy slowly. "I want to make you come, Anthy." Crow: Here comes the bride. > Anthy moaned, turning her face into the pillow her head rested on. "Oh Miss Utena... I can't..." Tom : ...believe it's not butter! > "Don't you have to do whatever your Champion says?" whispered Utena. Mike: VRRT! VRRT! OOC alert! > Anthy bit her lower lip. "Yes, Miss Utena... But..." > "Can you come with me then?" Tom : I'm not going anywhere! It's past curfew and I'm tired! Zzz... > "Y-yes, Miss Utena," stammered Anthy, gazing up at Utena with almost >gratitude in her eyes. Crow: Almost. > Utena was struck by how pliant Anthy seemed beneath her, yielding and fragile, and was seized by the urge to possess her completely. Mike: Boo! We don't like Utena OOC! >She thrust her fingers quicker, slamming her palm against the girl's clit. Utena felt her own orgasm growing in her lower belly and spreading outward, Tom: Like a nuclear explosion, which soon enveloped our poor heroines. >ready to unfold like some voluptuous flower; Crow: Botany, anyone? >she rode Anthy's thigh furiously, Tom: Sorry, already done the cowboy riff. >her eyes shut and lips parted. > "Miss Utena," cried Anthy, clenching Utena's shoulders tightly and arching her back. "I'm... oh..!" Mike : Quos ego...! Tom: Mike, just how many people do you think are going to have read the UNTRANSLATED version of The Aeneid? Mike: Hey, if I get one, it will be worth it. > "Yes, Anthy," hissed Utena. "I'm almost there; come with me." Crow : But WHERE are we going, Utena-sama? > They climaxed simultaneously, and so Utena, concentrating on her >own pleasure for the moment, was unaware that Anthy had cried out her brother's name as she came. Mike: Sorry, Crow, you've met your quota of two incest riffs. Crow: Dang it! > When Utena came back to herself, she slowly removed her fingers and licked them clean. Tom: It's finger-lickin' good! >She pulled her pajamas back on, then snuggled down next to Anthy, kissing Anthy's neck. > "Stay in my bunk tonight, Anthy," Mike : No. >whispered Utena, drawing the other girl into an embrace. > "Yes, Miss Utena," murmured Anthy, yawning delicately as she straightened out the hem of her nightgown. "I'm glad I was able to please you." Crow : You didn't notice me call my brother's name, did you? Utena-sama? Why are turing red? What's that grating sound? > "Hush." Utena stroked Anthy's hair. "Go to sleep, my sweet Bride." Anthy's breathing immediately became even as she fell into a deep slumber. Mike, Tom, and Crow: SLEEEEP!!! > Utena wondered for a moment, then chuckled softly. Now if only she could somehow "order" Anthy to cease her infernal snoring as well. Tom : Sorry, the Infernal is MY domain. > Maybe this Duelist Champion thing wasn't so bad after all. Crow: One sex scene turns Utena quickly, effectively, and permanently OOC. > Sated, she lay listening to the building settle, and fancied she could see one of the dorm's supposed ghosts in a corner. Tom : Oh, cool, a ghost, goodnight Zzz... >Sighing happily, Utena closed her eyes, finally drifting off to dreams of red roses, white horses, and true-hearted friends. Mike: Get a grip, Utena, Anthy is only as true as your sword. > Akio stood in the darkness and narrowed his eyes at the sight of Anthy curled in Utena's arms. Crow : Well, at least she was thinking about ME... > This was an unexpected development, and would have to be dealt with... > He took his cellphone out of his pocket and dialed, waited and said softly into the mouthpiece, Tom : I'll have a large pizza, double peperoni, NO anchovies, and I mean NO anchovies. You put anchovies on this thing, and you're in trouble, alright? Mike: Tom, this is Shoujo Kakumei Utena, not Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Tom: I can prentend, can't I? >"Kiryuu? You know who this is; you and your precious student council need to act quickly, or End Of The World will find other Duelists to do its bidding. Yes. You had better." Mike : Wait, Akio, what's the prob- Damn. > Then he hung up, his perfect lips curling into a smirk. >Owari * The End All: >Okay, this wasn't a story so much as a drawn-out sex scene. But did you like it? Let me know! >Contact me at nurseruko@aol.com >Ja ne! ^_^ Mike: Time for the real C&C section. Crow? Crow: Given that this takes place between episodes two and three of Revolutionary Girl Utena, Utena is HIDEOUSLY out of character. Although we can't speak speak for episodes 14+, we can tell you about 1-13, and this does not fit into Utena's character by ANY stretch of the imagination at that time. Tom? Tom: This story suffers from something that a lot of 19th century literature does, something we have chosen to call the "nil accidit" syndrome. For you non-Latin speakers, "nil accidit" means "nothing happens" or "nothing is happening." There was absolutely no plot, and while this scene MIGHT have made sense in the context of a larger story, it cannot stand alone. Mike: 'Nuff said. On the bridge of the SOL, Mike, Crow, and Tom were talking to Dr.Forrester for the post-fic wrap-up. "Well, how did it go, boobies?" Dr. Forreser asked. "Oh, well, we've seen worse," Mike said. "What are the ratings on it, Tom?" "Ratings?" Crow asked. "You know, the bad-fic rater thingy?" Mike clarified "Isn't that device part of Morden's Babylon 5 MiSTing continuity?" Tom queried. The bridge rocked as they broke the fourth wall for the second time today. "You know, you two are going to bring about the collapse of our universe, do you know that?" Mike asked. "We try, Mike," Crow and Tom said in unison. "But here are the numbers," Tom said, "On the "Huh?" rating it scored very low. We were pretty sure of what was going on the whole time, but Utena going OOC that quickly threw us off a little, so it gets a one out of ten for "Huh?" On the "Ewww!!!" rating we got a more substantial reading, due to the incest references andother such things, three out of ten for "EWWW!", and on the "Excuse Me" rating, we got a four out of ten because everyone went out of character very quickly, given where this story takes place in the Revolutionary Girl Utena continuity. But all and all, we've seen, heard, and riffed much worse." During this time, Crow got distracted and pulled out his Akio repellant and started playing with it. Dr. Forrester lauged. "Of all the peabrained inventions you could have come up with...HA!" "I'm telling you, Dr. F., we haven't had a single brush with Akio in all the time we've been up here." "That's because he's confined to his own continuty, numbskulls! I swear to you..." he stopped short and sniffed the air. "What's that? Roses? Oh, no..." "Oh, yes," another voice said. A young man walked into Deep 13. He was tall, and had a dark complexion, and short, light purple hair. "How's itgoing, Doc?" he asked, putting an arm around Dr. Forrester. "Care to come with me to my planetarium? How about a ride in my car?" Panicing, Dr. Forrester looked around. His eyes came to rest on the gender-change gun. His face lit up in relief and he picked it up. "Sorry, Akio old chap, but if you swing THAT way," he turned the gender-change gun on himself and fired, "I'll just have to go the other." Akio just shrugged. "That was unexpected. But it's all good." Dr. Forrester turned the gender-change gun on Akio and fired. When the smoke cleared, a female Akio stood there, grinning broadly. "Well, THIS should be interesting." she said. Dr. Forrester turned the gun on herself once more, and when the smoke cleared, Dr. Forrester was returned to normal, and Akio was grinning even more broadly. "Even more interesting," Akio said. Dr. Forrester turned to Mike and the 'Bots. "Mike...help..." Akio grinned and pushed the button. FWOOOSH!
