Aster and Lore try and restrain their disgust when they are sent after a half-dog teleporting, rainbow-eyed Ōkami Mary Sue, but thankfully they have backup from HQ.

I'm currently following the Chuggaaconroy Let's Play of Okami, and I LOVE the game from what I've seen so far. Nice job with the mission!
I liked the super plothole in this mission; it makes sense that such a major change to the canon's past, and the major ripple effect it would have on the game's outcome, would manifest as a major, violent plothole. It was a cool idea to have Lore actually dive into it in order to correct the Sue's changes.
One thing I was left wondering: you implied that Ray's small dog form was a disguise for the fic. Is Ray's normal form something other than human? I'm just curious, since Lore and Ray both became dogs.
This is Ray Chell. http://ppc.wikia.com/wiki/Ray_Chell
She is based on a non-PPC friend of mine who demanded that she help kill this badfic because it kept her from sleeping at night. Her author avatar is a dog-eared person. She picks dog disguise a lot. Because there is some form of dog pretty much in every canon.
Lore isn't a canine, but looks like one and so he picks the closest possible thing a lot. Because shifting your biology is not very comfortable.
Fun fact-- Lore is pretty big and although he can change his shape, either can't change his mass, or he refuses to. Which is why always he seems to be huge in various ways. Either absurdly heavy, absurdly muscled, or just plain large. He also can't change his color, so he's always black.
I'm glad you gave this atrocity a good sporking. I love Ōkami, it's beautiful world, diverse characters and emotions... And Waka is my favorite character. He's sparkly, but in a good way. Unlike this tripe you have so wonderfully skewered.
You described the canon well at the start. Nice and simple.
I laughed at Waka's google-translated french, and I enjoyed watching Lore remove the "curse" on the Oina tribe. That was creative.
If I do get permission, I would like to spork an Okami fic of this caliber. You've inspired me. This cannot stand.
This is a pretty good mission. I don't know much about Okami, though...
