Summary: The title is borrowed from a movie, the characters are borrowed from Sandy Frank, and the original idea was borrowed from Springie. But the story is all mine.

The war with Spectra has ended, leaving Mark, Jason and Princess in comas.

Excerpt

If he could have, Jason would have gasped. On the bed to his right lay Mark. He looked pale and still… lifeless… his eyes were closed and there was no movement. Did he, Jason, look like that too?

Princess sat between his bed and Mark’s, and took Jason’s hand. He wished that he could feel her touch.

“I’m sorry, Jason…” she said, tears streaming down her face, “I’m sorry I wasn’t convincing enough. But I know you’re there, and I know that you can hear me. I won’t give up on you!”

Summary:

My entry in the 'Dark and Stormy Night' challenge.

Excerpt

“Welcome back to the Ameris Top 40. We’re just finishing up this week’s countdown. Let’s recap the top five songs.”

“At number 5 we have the Tatsunoko Twist by Crescent Base.”

“Number 4 is Let’s Get It On by Ken & Jun.”

“The number 3 song is a cover of Wind Beneath My Wings by Condor Joe.”

“At number 2 is Defeat Galactor by Nambu’s Ninjas.”

“And the number 1 song in Ameris this week is….. Katse Killer by the Gatchaman 5!”

Mark shook his head in the dark. He wasn’t the most up-to-date in popular music, but he had never heard of these crazy groups.

Summary:

A behind-the-scenes look at the operation of the G-Force team. How will G-Force defeat their newest enemy?

Excerpt:

Briefly, I wonder why these are called ten second oil breaks. Who made up that name, anyhow? Certainly, not the engineers who designed this device. It takes at least one hundred seconds for the oil to fully circulate through my circuits, and my operating capacity isn’t optimal unless I stay in the changing platform significantly longer than that.

I can barely admit it to myself, but sometimes… sometimes I purposely stay here even longer than I need to. So that I have a chance to relax, too. How angry would Chief Anderson be if he knew that I thought of these as ten thousand second oil breaks?

Summary:

Jason & Princess take an unexpected detour: to Spectra!

Excerpt

Swinging the paddle in the air, he made contact, hitting it across the ping pong table. The ball bounced into the wall and chipped the paint.

“Whatcha doin’ Mark?” asked Keyop, drumming in wild, random patterns.

“Force of habit.” Mark replied in frustration. “I keep forgetting that Jason’s not here. I’m so used to his being on the other side of the table that I make shots before I can stop myself.”

“Miss Princess too!” answered Keyop. “Music not same, without her.”

“You’re telling me!” said Tiny. He had been covering his ears between Spaceburgers all afternoon.

“I just wish Jason and Princess would come home already!” Mark snapped in frustration, shooting another ball. This one bounced off of the overhead light.

“Where are they?” he continued, as if the white ball weren’t continuing to ricochet between the floor and ceiling.

Summary:

A rewrite of the BotP Episode, Ace From Outer Space. This is an answer to the 'rewrite a silly episode so that it makes sense' challenge. G-Force are just starting to hit their stride as a team and Galaxy Security is a dog's breakfast in a colander: very messy and full of leaks. There'll be tears before bedtime, mark my words.

Set during Gatch I, before Katse manages to construct a machine that will force the team out of birdstyle so he can see who they are. Let’s just say he had some false starts along the way…landing Joe in the BotP universe.  

This is in response to the "It was a dark and stormy night" challenge.  Heaven knows I can't write anything short enough to qualify as a vignette.  *grin*
