"Why...why are you doing this, Mimi-chan?" the frightened boy asked,
as his girlfriend grinned down at him with glowing eyes.
"I'm not Mimi," the girl said, as she began to transform into a
hideous creature. The teenager screamed and fouled himself.
"Stop right there," a deep, rich voice intoned. The demon turned
around, and her eyes widened.
"It can't be!"
A lone figure stood silhouetted by the waxing moon. "Toying with a
man's affections to steal his life force isn't very sporting," the
figure said. There was a sharp, metallic *shiink*, and the silhouette
began gesticulating with its hands...one of which now held a long,
slender rapier, its bare point glinting in the moonlight.
"Who are you? Show yourself!" the monster demanded.
The mysterious figure stepped forth. It was a young, effeminately
handsome man, with long, oiled blond hair tied back in a long braid
beset with jeweled ornamental bands, and sharp, piercing blue eyes.
He wore a long, white tunic with blue trim. Upon the breast of the
tunic, amid a showy ruffle, he wore a golden crescent moon crest. Red
tights graced his well-defined legs, which disappeared into a pair of
red leather boots. He also wore a pair of long, white fencing gloves
with red fur trim, and a small golden moon earring in his left ear.
He brandished his silver rapier threateningly as he continued, "For
justice, for honor, I am the handsome warrior Masukato Moon! For the
Moon, I will punish you! HYA!" He lunged toward the monster,
thrusting with his sword.
The monster sneered, and sent a hail of spikes flying toward him. He
let out a curse, and began dodging frantically. "What's wrong with
you?" hissed a voice from the shadows. "Fight!"
"Screw that, I'm too busy trying to stay alive here!" the young man
yelled.
"DIE, foolish human!" the monster roared.
Suddenly, a small object flashed down from the rafters, and bonked
the monster on the head. The demon blinked stupidly at it. "A
cigarette lighter?" it said.
The lighter exploded.
"AAAHHH!!! MY EYES!!!" the monster roared.
Masukato Moon looked up into the rafters, and blinked. A girl with
short dark hair stood above him. She was wearing a tight, skimpy
bunny outfit, complete with nylons, heels, and a pair of bunny ears.
However, she also wore a small white domino mask over her eyes. She
smiled. "It's up to you to defeat this monster, Masukato Moon," she
said.
"Who--who are you?" he stammered.
"I'm Bunny Mask," she said, giggling.
He blinked at that. "Are you free Saturday night?" he asked.
Bunny Mask nearly facefaulted out of the rafters. She gave him a
somewhat strained smile, then wiggled a little bit before
disappearing through a window.
"Okay, demon," Masukato Moon said, "it's time to end this." He
charged the monster, stabbing it through the chest with his rapier.
The sword flared with silver light...and the demon was reduced to a
pile of ashes.
[That's as far as I'm willing to go with this. I barely managed to
keep myself from puking just writing this much. In case you didn't
figure it out, "Masukato" is supposed to be a *very* altered katakana
version of "musketeer".]
