Oh come on, a Slayers/Dirty Pair cross isn't *that* hard. Here's something I wrote in script fic form, because I'm feeling super lazy.

Quote:Anchor: And now we go out to our correspondent Cory Emerson, who has a report on the explosive new pair of WWWA agents.Cory is from the Adam Warren DP comics. CC-BY 3.0 if you care to use any of it, ClassicDrogn.
--The vid screen cuts to a woman with blonde hair up in a perm, going for a vaguely punk look. Definitely a gonzo journalist.Cory: WWWA's second most controversial team of Trouble Consultants, the Lovely Slayers consists of two mysterious women: Lina Inverse and Amelia Tesla Wil Seyruun. Despite the fact that they have no genetic or cybernetic enhancements, they literally exploded onto the scene, becoming the WWWA's most powerful agents. But their past remains shrouded in mystery. I caught up with them during their recent visit to Alderaan, all thanks to the news division that *once again* gave me this kind of assignment.
-- Cut to a pair of girls on the couch, about age 18. While the hotel room behind them looks futuristic, the women themselves wear styles that look positively medieval and perhaps even magical. (i.e. anime default clothing)
Cory: Thanks for agreeing to the interview.Lina: No problem!Amelia: Any opportunity to promote justice throughout the stars!Lina: As long as it doesn't involve singing.Amelia: But you were good at it, Miss Lina.Lina: No, just no.
Cory: You seem pretty relaxed for an interview; a welcome change from the Dirty Pair. I'm going to start with the question that everyone's been dying to know -- where in the universe did you come from?Lina: Wellll, if you wanna get technical, we come from the Red World into this this place, the Black World. But the basic idea is that we come from an alternate dimension.
Cory: An alternate dimension? How did you get here?Lina: We were sent here by the power of a great enemy, as we fought him in our home plane.Amelia: If you hadn't have cut through space-time with the Ragna Blade, you mean.Lina: What, was I supposed to just let that fragment of Shabranigdu destroy the world?Amelia: Mr. Zelgadis always said to be more careful when you swing that spell around.
Cory: You mean like *magic* spells?Amelia: Yes, Miss Cory, we come from a world full of magic.Lina: And I am that world's greatest sorceress.Amelia: And no one can dispute that because they're all in the other world.Lina: And this world's greatest sorceress too, now that I think about it.
Cory: That's a little hard to believe. You aren't using some 3WA supertechnology?Lina: Don't believe me? How about a demonstration. 100% all-natural magic, no plasma tech involved! * a orb of orange light grows in her hands * FIRE... BALL!--A sphere of flames grows as it travels across the room, reaching the far wall of the hotel suite. It engulfs a desk and chair in a corner of the room, and causes all of the magic smoke to leave the built-in data terminal.
Amelia: Miss Lina! Couldn't you have used a light spell?!Lina: Yeah, well... What's the point of being a celebrity if you can't trash a few hotel rooms?Amelia *looking abashed*: Anyway, we found ourselves in this world, battered but victorious.Lina: And without any money.Amelia *sadly*: And without Mr. Zelgadis and Mr. Gourry.Lina: And *thankfully* without Xelloss, too.Amelia: At least this world doesn't have the rampaging monsters, either.Lina: That eliminated our main source of income though, with the lack of monsters to beat up and take their stuff.Amelia: For the protection of the people, of course.
-- A ribbon of black smoke wafts by the camera.Cory: So how did you end up with the 3WA?Amelia: Noble spirits like us were naturally drawn to the job of the Trouble Consultant.Lina: And since we didn't have any other prospects for adventuring jobs -- a girl's gotta eat, y'know. *camera cuts to footage of Lina scarfing at high speed, Amelia at medium-high speed* We heard about the incident -- before the last one -- at Elenor City, and thought, hey, I can do that!Amelia: Didn't you want one of their spaceships, too?Lina: *laughs* Well, you never know when a warm set of phaser banks will come in handy.
Cory Emerson: So the Dirty P... Lovely Angels were a major factor in you joining up.Amelia: Of course! We were inspired by such strong women promoting love and justice!Lina: We only joined when we found out that we weren't actually required to wear outfits skimpier than Naga the Serpent's "clothing".Amelia: Or the official garb of the Crown Princess of Seyruun. *shudders*Lina: Not that we aren't totally sexy in those outfits... but I'm not gonna give it away for free, boys. *wink*
Cory: It is quite a change that the WWWA is now represented by someone other than big-breasted Lucien upgrades.Lina: Yeah those two were always too... wait a minute! You're not implying something about me, are you?
-- A 3-inch orb of orange light begins to glow in Lina's handsCory *excitedly*: No, no! I was just... talking about your natural beauty.Amelia: True natural beauty comes from a pure heart. That's why I have more than Miss Lina.Lina: *glares*
-- While Cory speaks, a file footage plays showing a giant mechanical monster attacking a space elevator complex, followed Lina Inverse chanting atop a rooftop mouthing the words DRAGON SLAVE. A large explosion takes out a quarter of the city, followed by the tension of the space elevator line snapping -- the tension in the line splitting a nearby arcology in twain.
Cory: But there are people making comparisons between you and the Dirty Pair, especially after the incident at Spica IV. Lina: That wasn't our fault!Amelia: Yeah, what kind of evil monster incorporates kidnapped cyborgs into a weapon's structure?Lina: There's no way we could have known that all of those disappearances were related.Amelia: Such an evil plan is completely unforgivable!Lina: When you see a kaiju-class monster destroying a city, you have to take it down with everything you got.Amelia: And I swear, on my honor as a Princess of Seyruun, that this evil will be destroyed from this world!
Cory: Yes, but the loss of life figures were still extraordinary.Lina: Maybe you're right, we should have let the local military handle it, *sarcastically* oh wait that's right, someone reprogrammed their flying tanks to shoot at *us*.-- Footage plays of Amelia bringing down a heavily armored hovertank with a Ra TiltAmelia: Besides, it was the enemy's fault that anyone got killed at all, so they're basically entirely to blame.Lina: Attagirl.
A low beeping noise starts.Amelia: Hold on. *answering her earring comm*: What's that Zel? *listens intently*Cory: Zel?Lina: Zelgadis is our MUGHI -- the somewhat intelligent monster-looking thing that follows us around.Cory: Ah.Amelia: It looks like we have to go. Lovely Angel is reporting an incident on the southern continent, and they're requesting backup to investigate the syndicate.Cory *suddenly startled*: Wait, they're here too?Lina: Yep, big operation. I assume you've heard of the Phibrizzo crime syndicate?Amelia: Come on Miss Cory, we need to show you how a true-hearted WWWA agent works.Cory *starting to look sick*: No, no, not again. *pleading* Please.Lina: Besides, I hear that there's a really great sushi place down there, you'll love it!Amelia: We deserve way more screen time, for promoting justice!Lina: And showing off for cute guys.Amelia: Yeah!
Cory: That's all for Part 1. Upcoming in Part 2, where I go against my better judgement, (thank you network!), I get deep into the story of the Alderaan incident, and somehow survive to tell the tale. That's tomorrow night.
Anchor: Thanks Cory, fascinating stuff. Next up, sports. It's been an exciting week in Rollerball, hasn't it Stu?
