I have another part mostly typed up after this. I'm really sorry for the delay. The LOOOOONG delay. I have to catch my muse, and rarely does it settle in front of the computer where I type all my stories.

Please enjoy and review! ^_^

...

In the "war room", tucked away in the bowels of the website, Abelia (Now and Then Here and There) stood hunched over the center table. On the table was the Resistance's battle plan. Edward Elric's handwriting detailed different stragies to fight the Mary Sue Virus. Unfortunately with the recovery of Lina, he was captured as well, leaving the charge of director to her since she had previous military experience.

Her nails scraped the white board as her fists clenched tearing lines through the words "perpetual deviation". Despite their efforts, the enemy was consistantly gaining ground. It seemed that all they could was simply guard their own until they were captured. Which at this point - seemed inevitable.

The virus was getting smart, and was incredibly powerful. Attempting to hold it back was becoming harder and harder. "I don't understand how we are losing," she snarled and pounded the table, creating a tremendous thud.

Alphonse Elric's (FMA) armor rattled lightly as he stood across from her. Only his chest was lit from the chrome pendant light, hiding his helmet amidst the shadows. "We need to find out why the Sues are gaining so much ground."

"A good idea would be to find out how they are converting fanfictions into Mary Sues." Zechs Marquis (Gundam Wing) offered from the left side of the table - that with which was closest to the door. "There has to be an explanation."

"True. We don't have much to work with, but there are still a couple authors that have not contracted the virus." Al added, waving his hand matter-of-factly.

"Like who?" Abelia raised an eyebrow inquisitively, causing Al to fold his arms in thought, while Zechs paused. Pushing back fond memories, he replied softly, "Annattack."

Al snapped his fingers and if he had a mouth to move, it would be grinning, "Of course! And BrokenPoetry, and Hyper5!"

"We have to get ahold of these authors and see if they can help us out." Abelia smirked at their breakthrough, "Zechs you have experience with Annattack, you reach her. Al, you contact Broken Poetry. We'll have Goten contact Hyper5 -"

"Wouldn't that seem strange?" Al interrupted.

"What?"

"A group of anime characters seeking out the aid of a couple author's that have only fantisized about these kinds of dangers."

"You know, if we're not careful, our whole operation could become a Mary Sue." Zechs pointed out.

"It will not." Abelia's fists clenched, "If we are focused, then we will succeed. Do not give the author's an incentive to perform a Mary Sue, even if by accident."

"Then they seriously need to switch who goes to who." A voice sounded from the corner, startling the trio poised at the table.

"Who are you?" Zech growled reaching for his gun.

From the shadows came a red head, "That is none of your concern -"

"Wait," Abelia's eyes narrowed on the newcomer, "Are't you the author of THIS story?"

The red head blinked for a second before walking towards them, "I'm only providing a cameo appearance," she then grumbled to herself, "Considering you ruined my own Mary Sue scene..."

"What was that?"

"Oh nothing," she flashed a grin, before reaching into her backpack and tossing a stack of papers onto the table before them, Zechs relaxed as Al examined the stack, "Are these -?"

"Yes," she nodded, "It's an original copy too. So be careful with it."

"How did you get this?" Zechs frowned at the girl.

"I have my ways. Now I'm going back to my world." she turned, only to be stopped by Abelia "Wait! Why not stay and help us? You control this story afterall!"

"In fanfiction, a good author creates a plot." The author smirked, "A bad author messes with free will." With a nod, she disappeared, leaving the three stewing.

Abelia frowned, "So this virus is turning everyone into a bad author?"

"It would make sense..." Zech pondered, "However, the question is: how are they turning?"

Al finished reading the last page, "Our answer is right here." he held up the last page that read in giant red bold lettering, "The Art of the Slash."

A veil of horror came across Zechs' face before he held his head, "No way."

Al started, flipping through, "It's incredibly simple, if you turn a Mary sue into a lemon, it ceases to be a Mary Sue -"

"Porn-?" Abelia exclaimed.

"OH MY GOD! NO!" The author appeared once more waving her arms, "NO! No nononono!" she stalked over grabbed the stack of papers and replaced it with another stack from her pack in Al's hands, "We have to keep this rated Teen!"

"So you gave us the wrong stack of papers?" Zechs stared at her incrediously.

"And after that dramatic exit too." the author groaned, holding her head. "I've caused you to go out of character too much already, I'm sorry." And in another heartbeat she disappeared.

"I can't take this anymore." Abelia held her head, then turned to Al, "WHAT do we DO!"

"Find the authors," he tossed the stack onto the table, "and talk to them. Those pages hold information originally found on profiles before the attack. Each holds information on the the Un-Sue'd IP addresses so we can track them down."

"IF they are even online." Zechs frowned.

"We can only hope they are," Abelia started, "We're running out of time until the Sues take over."

"Then we'll have to act fast and persistant," Zechs glanced at the different clocks on the wall, each pertaining to a certain time-zone. "It is almost night time in the areas of interest."

"Time to move then."
