   Meanwhile, TD was watching the missiles carefully (VERY carefully) to be sure   
   that none of them hit the Arty-P.  He nodded to himself when the last of the   
   MISS-iles (HA ha) flew on their merry way into the wild black yonder (well,   
   other than the three or four that managed to hit Otaku World itself, causing   
   untold devastation, but that's not important right now).  He turned to Kane,   
   who   
   had turned a disturbing shade of blue, was clutching his throat, and was making   
   vague gagging sounds.   
      
   "Oh come on, Kane," said TD with annoyance.  "Did you forget that you could   
   breathe in space again?"   
      
   Kane quickly shook his head, but continued gagging and choking.   
      
   "Hey," came Mr. K's voice from the Super Stud.  "Is he okay?  He doesn't look   
   too well..."   
      
   Kane shook his head in the negative, indicating that he was, in fact, NOT okay   
   AT ALL.   
      
   TD shrugged and said, "Eh, he'll be fine.  Or, at least, he WILL be as soon as   
   you stinkin' Amichanians get outta here!"   
      
   "I am NOT an Amichanian!" shouted Cape-Mike from within his mech.   
      
   "Yeah, yeah, sure you aren't," said TD derisively.  "That's what the all say."   
      
   Kane gagged and choked in such a manner as to show that he, also, was not an   
   Amichanian.   
      
   "Bah, of course YOU aren't, Kane!" said TD.  "I'm sure you learned your lesson   
   the LAST time you joined the Amichanians.[1]  However, that shade of blue is   
   rather alarming, now that you mention it."   
      
   Kane shook his head furiously, while still futilely clutching his throat.  The   
   color of his skin was deepening to violet.   
      
   "Ha!" said Mr. K.  "Now he's turning violet, Saturn's favorite color.  That   
   obviously means he wants to join to the OSDF!"   
      
   Cape-Mike sighed.  "Can't you see the man is choking to death?!  I'll handle   
   this."  With that, he performed a delicate maneuver with his mech, the result   
   of   
   which was Kane somehow being punched hard in the gut.   
      
   Kane gagged and turned green in the face.   
      
   "See?  Now he wants to join the Makochanians now that I've saved him from   
   choking," said CM smugly.   
      
   "Bah," bah'd TD.  "After what happened the last time?[2]  You're crazy."   
      
   "He still looks like he's choking to me," noted Mr. K.   
      
   At this point, Kane finally retched and coughed up what looked to be a point   
   defense missile, apparently one that Cape-Mike had fired earlier.   
      
   "*GASP*COUGH*SPUTTER*" said Kane.  "You guys suck!  I'm gonna kill you all!"   
      
   A few seconds passed, and then everyone burst into laughter.   
      
   "Hohohoho... that was a good one, Kane," said TD.   
      
   "Yeah, I thought you were actually SERIOUS there for a second," added CM.   
      
   Kane's left eyelid began to twitch as he watched them all, murderous intent   
   clearly visible.
