The Never Ending Quest - Episode 89294

Yukiko

And then perhaps we can somewhere along the course of conversation work in asking just why one of my spells showed Stacy's morphic field having been tampered with and hiding facts that she really has two hearts? Sister Rei broadcasts privately to me and the rest of the group.

There is real concern in that question, I sense and have to agree with that concern. If this Stacy woman is NOT really as she appears to be then she could pose a menace to our endeavors and not even know it. Or at least that is what I gather from Rei and the rest of my group’s general feelings on the matter I feel emitting from them all over this . . .wondrous link.

”Yes, nothing is lost by being polite is there?” the bearded man my sisters have labeled ‘the Master’ (along with some rather . . .colorful descriptive phrases along with that designation) chuckles slightly in an oddly . . .disturbing fashion. “Even if it is towards one intends to kill, yes? Some could learn a lesson or two in that department, I dare say.”

”Only when said target bloodly well deserves good manners,” Giles growls, still covering the Master with his crossbow. “Definitely not when said target just happens to be the worst villain ever to hale from the halls of BBC science fiction!”

”You actually watch that horrid propaganda piece for young boys that UNIT prances out to cover their activities?” the Master sneers, apparently unconcerned at the bolt directed at his very person. “The actor who they found to play me looks nothing like me and I might expect that . . .”

Later, when a certain “morally challenged” Timelord looks back and actually examines everything that has been said by all parties and puts it all together he should . . .I believe the proper term is “feel rather silly” for not having seen it up until now. Then again, for him to see it is for him to have to be forced to admit to commiting an even larger error in execution in his dark designs that he first thought.

Other have a better view of the crisis at hand, though not total clarity. A situation that I fear they (the Scoobies) have a large chunk right now, but not the whole of it and will not be able to get the whole of it with all this needless arguing!

God in his Heaven! This is one particular facet of “normal” life I would rather not be involved in right now! It is . . .messy and annoying.

As for my group? We have already ciphered it out but are just waiting for the most opportune moment for all to be revealed. But at this rate with some of the egos involved I fear we might be a while at it….

”Hey, you’re not helping your issue by making threat here Master of Pancakes!!” Xander says, interrupting what I can see to be something of an ugly altercation even with my rather . . .limited experience in the lessons of living life.

”Master of Pancakes?!” the Master blinks, clearly having . . having . . .


”Snirk, phphpt . . .BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!” Yukiko giggles, suddenly finding the concept of ‘humor’ hitting her full force and overwhelming her usually stoic demeanor and reducing her to gales of tear filled laughter. Laughter that causes almost everyone else in the room to stare at her in part to her apparent overreaction to what could only be considered a slightly humorous joke and part to . . .her laughter being rather beautiful, really. Angelic, even.

Eh, go figure. She has the wings for being considered angelic AND you must remember . . .up until mere hours ago humor was an alien concept to her. Something that she never really understood (or enjoyed) since her first incarnation as Rei I.

”Pancakes?” the Master asks Xander blankly after breaking away from the young woman’s laughing fits, glowering. “Master of . . . child do you have any idea of who I am?”

”Yep, see you all the time on PBS especially when they’re running a fund drive and let me tell ya you look JUST like that actor that plays you so with all the OTHER fictional characters running around seeing the REAL you HERE is par for the friggin’ course!” Xander shoots back defiantly. “I’m just saying you

“You might want to . . . I donno . . .chill a bit and not do the makin’ threats thing while Giles has you covered and all that you know? Maybe? Hm?”

”Enough already!” the one known as Fred Takahashi says, stomping over and putting himself between the increasingly irate rogue Timelord and the cheeky American highschooler. “He has a point but for the love of God, everyone settle DOWN for a second!”

All eyes are upon Fred and for a wonder they DO seem to take a second or three and calm down instead of exploding into heated argument (or worse).

Then again, it could be the fact that Fred happens to have managed before now to unpack his “special” gear and dawn it. Say what you will, few to no people are idiotic enough to argue with a man in power armor (gear like it and others of equal power that Buffy had hinted would perhaps be needful in the upcoming next adventure arc).

Whatever the case, the silence and calm does have a somewhat salutary effect on almost all concerned, anyway. On others, well…they finally get over the scare of their lives and snap to it!

”Yes, let all do that PLEASE!” Betty of the brown hair says loudly. “If the Master dies then MY world dies with him so leave him alone, please?

”Please don’t . . .everything I have and everyone I know lives back there,” she finishes, sounding more than a bit frantic. “We all got sent here . . .in the Buffyverse reality or something and . . .we need I believe your sister and your help.”

The family resemblance between Yukiko and the other winged women is uncanny, which stands to reason if one is in the know about what went INTO making the girls who and what they are.

  1. “Are . . .you the one that weird cockney sounding lady from earlier is an archmage?” Betty of the red hair asked, looking like she’s amazed at herself for even thinking about seriously asking something like that.
