Yes, I got another idea for a fic. Hit me.
Anyway, I was thinking of making a novelization out of the just plain coolest game in the GBA that you can find... Gunstar Super Heroes.
For those who don't know, GSH is the continuation of the popular Genesis/Mega Drive game, Gunstar Heroes, which is basically a shmup of the best quality. Rather than having power-ups for different guns, you get three different guns RIGHT AT THE START, a megashot for each gun, and Gunstar Actions, which are freakin' sweet, since they let your Gunstars become Ninjas.
So, here's a really short teaser I whipped up when I wrote this post:
-=-
Aori grumbled as he was being attacked by the giant robot holding the ship. Jeez, couldn't she have moved out before being captured? He turned his head towards Akari, who was trying to shoot at the hands. Well, it wasn't as if he was gonna let Akari have all the fun... "Hey, Red! Heads up!" he screamed, before running towards Akari.
Akari looked at him, stopping shooting for one moment. "What? Blue? What are you-" Akari began, before Akari realized that Aori was sliding underneath Akari's legs. Right before Akari could complain about his perverted action, Aori had already grabbed Akari's Gunstar Armor by the neck.
Aori smirked. "GUNSTAR PUNCH!" he screamed, before delivering a mighty uppercut at the robot's hand, pulling Akari with him. As they were flying above it, he prepared to finish the attack. "GUNSTAR KICK!" he screamed again, before doing a perfect 90? kick to the ground, aimed at the other hand.
The hand was damaged as well, and the robot had to hold the ship with its weakened hand for the following moments, which caused the ship to topple to the side a bit. The Gunstars had landed on it, their magnetic boots keeping them on it for the following moments... if they weren't inevitably attacked as they would be.
Akari got up, annoyed, after being dropped in a harsh manner by Aori. "Blue! What the hell were you thinking?! We're not supposed to act in such a rash manner! We're Gunstars!" Akari asked, angrily. Aori stared at Akari in that odd manner of his.
"Look, the best strategy we have here is to blast this thing to bits, and the best way we have of doing that," he told Akari, before shooting a random grunt who thought he would be smart in not doing what all the other grunts had done and retreating back to their base. The grunt exploded just like everyone else. Aori turned back to Akari. "The best way we have of doing that is to explode this thing's face. Do you agree with me?" he asked, just as the ship was shoved down onto the ground again.
Akari bit a lip, but nodded. "Fine. I guess we can do it your way for now."
Aori smirked. "That's the idea, Akari!" he said, which made Akari slap his face.
"Stop calling me that on the field! We're Red and Blue, not Akari and Aori! Now get into position!" Akari told him, before skidding to the other side, stopping by the hand. "Are you ready?" Akari asked, while switching the gun into Burst Mode. Aori had done that already, and just gave Akari a thumbs-up. Akari nodded, just as the robot began to push the ship down again.
"Well, then.. FORCE CHANGE!" they screamed, as their Gunstar Force guns began their transformation, turning into sleek bazookas with power capsules on the back. While it happened, it seemed that time had slowed down except for them, and that a blue field was surrounding them, with red strikes flying behind them. When the transformation was finished, the field disappeared instantly.
"FORCE BURST!" they screamed, before pulling the triggers; instantly, a large sphere of fire flew forward, growing bigger as it took in oxygen, and flying straight at the robot's face. The power was enough to drive them backwards, and they fell to the ground, but were unharmed.
The same couldn't be said about the robot, however. Screaming in pain, it released the Gunstar Ship, which flew away in an instant, and moved away, staying out of range.
Then it flew forward again, and began mashing the platform with its fists. Aori gulped. "Oh, man... this is bad..."
Akari's eyes, however, were shining. "Yeah! That's what I was waiting for!"
Aori turned towards Akari. "...you're a moron."

Note: I don't have good names for the other characters. Does anyone mind telling me the Japanese versions to their names, so I can corrupt them?
