A young woman with blonde hair was sitting on the edge of a cliff looking out over the ocean. She blinked away a tear, as she thought about the recent past. A large man carrying a sword approached the woman
"Must be hard to be you, is it not Honey Kisarigi?" the man asked.
Honey turned and saw the man. Seeing the sword, she was about to leap to her feet, when the man tossed it to one side.
"I'm not here to fight you. You have defeated Panther Zora once again and now your life looks like it has nothing more for you to do. Live as a human is what your father said, but you became a hero and now your job is done," the man said.
"Who are you?" Honey asked.
"If there are demons, there should be gods. I am Susano. I'm here to talk to you and ask for your help. You are one of the three truly pure beings that I can think of right off hand. One is Akira Fudo before he pulled off his little stunt and even then, he fights to protect humanity. The other is Sho Fukamachi with everything he suffered ever since gaining that armor."
"Stunt? What stunt? I've met Akira Fudo, but he said nothing about something like that."
"The Akira Fudo that you met is just one that I was thinking of. His job is done and is doing his best to live as a human and save as many humans as possible," Susano replied. "I will be talking to him as well. He put his soul on the line to save humanity."
"And Sho Fukamachi?"
"Despite everything he has been put through, he still fights to save people. He forgave Aptom for kidnapping his father, which eventually led to Fumio Fukamchi's death. Sho also did his best to save Aptom from being mind controlled by one of his enemies. As Aptom once said, he is like a hero from one of the old stories."
"Then there is you: the Warrior of Light. You are the android girl who was created because her father couldn't stand to know that his biological daughter was dead and built an android in her image. You've been targeted by a Demon Lord since shortly after your birth and kept fighting to save everyone. You even felt sadness at the death of a few of your opponents. The robot from Samurai Park is one of them, because if that park hadn't been closed, she would not have fallen to Panther Zora and would have been happy to entertain everyone. You also cried for several hours after you had to kill that actress who played Kekko Kamen. That was a forced possession and a violation of certain laws, which allowed Panther Zora to finally be defeated the first time."
"You seem to know a lot about me. Why didn't you help?" Honey asked frowning.
"Gods and angels have limits placed on them. So do the demons and devils, but human greed allow them a bit more leeway. They get called here by humans who think they can outsmart the demons," Susano answered.
"Why are you here?" Honey asked.
"I could play a Belldandy and offer you a wish, however I know you won't take it. Most wishes granted by the Goddess Relief Office and its opposite is not because of inherent goodness, but to add a bit of chaos to human lives. No. The reason I'm here is to ask you to head into another dimension and help out," Susano replied.
Honey motioned for Susano to have a seat beside her.
"I could say that you are trying to trick me into believing you are a god, but I have wondered about it from time to time. Go on with what you want to offer," Honey said.
"Thank you. In some worlds, you were destined to be created or turned on, but something went wrong. There is one set of worlds where you are still human and you have both a younger and older sister," Susano said.
Honey smiled and gave an amused snort. "I wonder what happened there."
"In the main line, she got married to a young man that she fell in love with," Susano replied and then shook his head. "It is some of the faltering lines that I need to talk to you about. I want to send you to one of them and act as a sort of big sister or mentor to your other self or in a few worlds, replace your counterpart outright, since she was turned on by this time."
"Why me?" Honey asked.
"Of all the incarnations, you are the one who has faced Panther Zora in a fight more than once. You even beat her in a sword to mecha fight when she was Black Maiden," Susano said. "You have also dropped the need for touching the button at your neck to transform and have brought your systems up to speed on being more efficient so you won't need to eat food so often."
"I still have to yell out Honey Flash or something else for most of my stunts," Honey said, chuckling slightly.
"You didn't need to when you were coated in plastic," Susano pointed out.
Honey gave a slight chuckle about that. "No, I didn't."
"You've also rebuilt the Honey Comet, so that is something else you have that your other selves don't," Susano said. "Think about it. You can go and help out worlds that are similar to this one. Isn't this what you want? A purpose to keep on going."
"What about this world?" Honey asked.
"Nothing is going to happen here for a quite a while, then an organization called the 3WA will be created, which will deal with several worlds," Susano said. "That's when things start hopping again."
Honey giggled a bit. "Are there worlds that need me and I don't have a counterpart on?"
"Several actually. One of the most common has a male martial artist that turns into a girl with cold water, however his problems aren't all that impressive. Another common one has a young wizard boy with a lightning bolt scar on his forehead. A third could be called successors to you, since they are a group of magical girls running around in sailor suits. If I can convince an Akira, I could have the two of you meet up with a Sho Fukamachi and let the three of you wreak havoc on Cronos. You could also travel to a world that uses Evangelion robots and drive Gendo Ikari and the men at Seele into insanity. You could also meet up with Kurumi and the other Steel Angels and give people headaches," Susano replied.
Honey shook her head. "Tell me about my counterparts."
"I'll have to refer to them by different names," Susan said.
"In Cutie Honey Flash, your counterpart is a sixteen year old human girl with an older sister called Misty and a younger sister. She has abilities similar to you. However if things get too bad, she and Misty can combine into one form. She develops a crush on a boy about her age. Also, Doctor Kisarigi is still alive and helping Panther Claw. Although, I think he's doing it do bring Panther Claw down from the inside and keep Panther Zora locked up. I don't know. I don't have omniscience. Before you ask, I was given your file to read before approaching you."
"I see. What about another android Honey?"
"In the Re: Cutie Honey worlds, Sister Jill is the prototype for your counterpart. Your school friend Nat-chan is a cop for the Japanese Police. I know your Nat-chan became a pop singer. There is also a similar world group where you have an Uncle and your counterpart turns Sister Jill into a flower. There are also your own timeline-based worlds that I could send you into. Panther Claw and Panther Zora would not be expecting a seasoned Honey and if I put you early enough, your counterpart won't have to learn from pre-recordings that she is an android."
"It's who I am," Honey said. "Tell me about some of the other worlds."
Susano nodded and did so.
Honey stood up and looked across the ocean. "I'll get into the Honey Comet and fly around. You can then send me to another world while I'm up in the sky."
Susano nodded. "Very well. Where are you going to go?""
Honey replied, "I'm going to go to....
