Chapter 8: Monster Collectors



[In case you've been living under a rock for this fic, you'd know that our little motely crew is still wandering in Anime-Land.]

Cait: Soooo! Who are we gonna kill today?

Tifa: [frowns] You don't have to say that...

Sephiroth: Face it, we're cold-blodded killers.

Shera: Now that's streching it a bit far...

Vincent: Well, we have killed the casts of seven different shows.

Cloud: One was a game...

Author: Get on with it already!

[Suddenly, a little white cat-looking creature runs into the group's view.]

Tifa: Not another one of those!

Red: Looks tasty though...

Cid: You gotta be kidding me...

[The thing takes one look at them and runs away. So the group follows it. It runs to a clearing in the forest, where there are two kids and a guy.]

Aeris: Are we going to kill them too?

[A giant bird swoops down and eats Aeris in one gulp.]

Author: Anyone else wanna spoil the ending??

[Everyone shakes their heads.]

Author: Good. Carry on...

[By now, the new group has noticed our heroes. They come over to investigate.]

Girl: Hello?

Boy: Who are you?

Cloud: We're from Final Fantasy 7. I'm Cloud, the leader-

Yuffie: [cuts him off] We're just wandering around, that's all. ^^

Boy: Oh. I'm Mondo.

Girl: And I'm Rockna. [points to the guy] And this is my dad, who's name escapes me now.

Sephiroth: You don't know your father's name??

Rockna: For some reason, I can't remember it.

Author: That's because I can't...

Mondo: Who said that???

Author: Oh, crap!

Shera: Uh...I'm a ventrilloquist...?

R.'s Dad: That's interesting. Say, have you guys seen a Monster Item around here?

Cid: What the #%$& is a Montser Item??

Vincent: [frowns] I think this guy looks familiar...

Yuffie: [pulls out a Materia orb] Is this one?

Mondo: Could be.

Rockna: Can we have it?

Yuffie: Hell no.

R.'s Dad: What?! If that's a Monster Item, we need to have it! Give it up!

Tifa: She said no.

Red: Don't make us do something we'll regret.

Sephiroth: [whispers] Please make us do something we'll regret...Please make us do something we'll regret...

Vincent: [jumps, surprised] That's who he is! HOJO!!!!!!!

Everyone: [stops] What????

Vincent: [ducks behind Cid and Sephiroth] It's Hojo! Hide me!!

Shera: Actually, he does look a lot like Hojo...

[Cid stabs Rockna's Dad through his forehead with his spear (a la Midaruchi doujinshi...).]

Mondo: Wow.

Rockna: Dad!

R.'s Dad: [bleeding profusely] That was...unexpected...[dies].

Vincent: Yay!

Sephiroth: [pouts] I wanted ta do it...

Tifa: [rolls her eyes] And so it begins...

Mondo: [turns to Rockna] Don't worry! I'll get these guys for killing your dad!

Rockna: You'd do that?

[Shoujo manga sparkles and bubbles fill the screen. Both their eyes go all teary.]

Mondo: You bet I would...

Rockna: Oh Mondo...

[Sephiroth, still pouting, takes Masamune to Mondo.]

Rockna: o.O

Cloud: Feel better?

Sephiroth: Yes, actually.

Cait: Well, we might as well get rid of the last one...

Rockna: That's it! You're toast!

[She summons a monster. It's a Lemming.]

Rockna: Oh crap. Just one of them??

Lemming: ^^ Squeek!

Shera: [accidentally steps on it] Oops. My bad?

Rockna: [-.-o] I'm doomed.

Cait: Got that right.

[His Moogle eats her whole.]

Yuffie: [smirks] Now there's a new one...

Tifa: Well, we wrapped that one up quicker than normal.

Author: Who said you were done?

Vincent: But...everyone's dead...

Author: Says you.

[As if on cue, three more enter the clearing. Two girls and a guy.]

Red: Just great...

Author: These are the normal villians. The purple-haired girl is Gluko, the redhead is Batch, and the weird guy is Eccentro. Kill them quickly. I have an appointment to keep.

Shera: That was odd.

Cloud: [stares at Gluko] She's cute...

Tifa: [thrashes Cloud with a tree] Give it a rest Spiky...

Cid: [sighs] I'll take care of it.

[He lights a stick of dynamite and hands it to Gluko.]

Gluko: Ooh, thanks.

[Dynamite go boom. Batch and Eccentro die. Gluko flies away with the impact. Anyone who has watched this show knows that she never gets hurt.]

Author: It was quick, I'll give you that.

Cid: Fun too.

Vincent: [looks around] Let's just go, before soemone finds the bodies...

Cloud: [still crushed under the tree] A little help here?

[The group moves on, ignoring Cloud's pleas.]

Cloud: Well, at least I'm alive...

Author: Not on my watch, Spike-Boy.

[Lightning hits the tree, even though it's grounded.]

Cloud: I...hate...this...fic...[dies.]
