“Oh your, SO going down!” Dan cried out while snagging a throw pillow and racing Kakure down the hall. Kakure quickly glanced back catching site of her pursuer rapidly swinging the pillow case overhead. “Hey! No fair, I don’t even have one!” Kakure squealed as she turned a corner.
“This will be for that cheap shot you gave m- WHHAAA!” Dan screamed as his socks slipped up along the heavily glossed wooden floor, sending the big haired Canuck sliding out of control. “WHOA, WHOA!” Dan thrashed wildly as he swayed back and forth while trying to regain his footing. When suddenly he felt a tug on the back his jacket, and the feeling of his equilibrium being restored. “Do you ever stop being such a clown?” Kakure asked raised a light green eyebrow questioningly while a wide and sly smile crossed her face.
“Sigh…” Dan hung his head down slightly feeling slightly embarrassed by the constant mishaps he had managed to get himself into over hardly more then a day…wait a second, this sort of junk happened all the time around the gang back home, and he never felt embarrassed or ashamed. Why did it matter so much now? “Thanks for the save.” Dan sighed pulling away from Kakure and heading down the hall ahead of her.
“Erm, where are you going now?” Kakure with a puzzled expression.
“Your fathers bedroom is behind this door right?” Dan asked pointing to a heavy closed door.
“Yeah…what about it?” Kakure asked suspiciously. “It’s locked…” Dan announced as he shook the door handle loosely. “You got a key”
“Why do you want to go into my dad’s room?” Kakure asked placing her hands into her pockets.
“Sleep.” Dan remarked as he continued to jiggle the knob. “Hmmm”
“Well it’s still hardly past four. I could call Setsuna and the rest of her gang. I bet you want to show her those plans of yours…ummm…what are you doing?” Kakure paused watching as Dan continued to jiggle the knob more and more vigorously as though following a pattern.
“You don’t go toe to toe with some loon in a robe who calls himself THE DARK LOCKSMITH on a constant basis and NOT learn a single thing about locks”
CLICK “They’re we go.” Dan sighed as he swung the open and stepped into the mild unventilated room. Sniffing the air he picked up that stagnant smell all rooms left unlived in gather after a while. Looking left and right he noticed a great deal of photos and random souvenirs littering the room. Shrugging his shoulders he collapsed onto the giant king sized bed.
“Hey! I don’t mean to be rude, but I really can’t let you stay in their.” Kakure said as she quickly marched down the hall into the room. “If my dad notices one thing moved or out of place, he’ll freak. I mean it’s bad enough I have you staying here with out even contacting him or, or”
“Snoooore….snooooore…” Dan had already passed out on the bed his back facing up, his face just barely reaching the mid point of the beds mattress, nearly half of his body was hanging off the side of the bed as well.
“Wow…that was fast.” Kakure stared blankly at the already fast asleep gaijin. “I mean, that couldn’t have been more then three, four seconds.” Kakure then thought to herself again, just HOW much sleep had the two of them had over the two days…not a lot…then her thoughts turned to other things, namely the young man passed out on her fathers bed. Despite the small wet spot of drool already surrounding Dans lowers lips, he still appeared to be quite adorable. She couldn’t help but remember something Usagi had mentioned concerning Mamoru. “They really do look younger when they’re asleep.” Kakure thought to herself.
“Oh…god…” Dan moaned already dreaming about who knows what. “Why Ernie…why?” he hollered rolling back and pulling a part of the cleanly laid bed sheet with him. “Mutilated…Hooker bits…evveeerrywhere…” Dan slurred as he finally stopped muttering in his sleep and resumed silence.
“I guess I’ll head back out…or something, then.” Kakure muttered speaking to the all but comatose Dan. “Buy groceries…food….that…kind of thing.” Kakure tried to slowly back out of the room but still her eyes kept glancing back to Dan. “Nyeeeeeeeh…” Kakure stomped the floor rapidly trying to fight back the voice in the back of her head. ‘Come on, he’d never know…are you insane, I hardly know the guy…and yet you can’t stop thinking about him? That has got to be self destructive right they’re, no way, I’m leaving, going to go to T and C pick up a few things, look at yourself your already going domestic, what don’t be ridiculous I’m just taking care of a guest. ‘A super hot guest.’O.O “Where’d that come from?” ‘Oh that was just me the libido part of your mind, never mind me, he really isn’t that hot, kinda scrawny. And you are? Oh I’m the commonsense part of your mind…you know the part that makes you buy diet instead of regular cola… “Ack could you…you…disembodied thoughts settle down I’m trying to think here!?” Kakure hollered out loud rapidly ruffling her hair almost Dan style. ‘You know what, just kiss the jerk.’ “What?” ‘Hey common sense is finally singin’ my song!’ ‘No I’m simply following logic here, obviously our girl is infatuated with him, if she can kiss him most likely the excitement generated by a crush will be diminished to the point in which she can move on and continue with her life….’ ‘Blah! Your no fun you know that…take the joy out of everything.’ ‘Better then being a slut.’ ‘OH NO YOU DIDN’T!!!’ EXISTENTAL SLAP!!! “ARRRRGH!!!” Kakure screamed at the top of her lungs drowning out the voices, oddly enough Dan didn’t awaken. “Wow…” Kakure approached Dan by the bed side hunching down a little bit. “He really is out cold.” Kakure muttered with a shocked expression as she gently poked Dan in the face.

…
Slowly and silently she moved closer towards his face. Kakure squinted her eyes briefly before closing them. “Just one little”
“Uh….” Dan’s eyes opened wide along with his mouth…the second part would have been impossible of course, IF Kakure had actually succeeded in kissing Dan on the mouth. “Are you sucking my nose?” Dan squinted with a confused/half awake expression.
“Ah!” Kakure doubled back, somehow she must of missed them, or maybe his head moved slightly, either way she was freaking. “Eh, uh, ah”
“THAT’S JUST FUCKEN WEIRD!” Dan’s brow furrowed as he finally fully contemplated what had just happened. “ACK!!! For Christ sake, why?” Dan flinched moving back along the bed.
“I…I was just…” She was trying really hard but no appropriate explanation was coming to mind.
“A crush is one thing, but honestly…this is Love Hina brand stuff right here.” Dan now quite awake despite only sleeping about three minutes was now standing on the opposite edge of the bed.
“I’m sorry, I’m really sorry. You were really fast asleep and I just thought”
“You’d bite my nose?” O.o Dan’s eyes quivered back and forth with a confused expression.
“I WAS TRYING TO KISS YOU”
“On the nose”
“ON THE LIPS”
“You kissed my nose”
“That’s only because I missed your lips”
“HOW do you miss lips?” “I don’t know… I…I don’t know what happened, I just closed my eyes and I just missed, okay!” “Wait…you closed your eyes”
“Well, yeaaah, how else do you kiss someone”
“Duh, with your eyes open… I wouldn’t want to end up kissing the girls nose for Christ sake”
“No body does that”
“My eyes are always open when I kiss…then again I mostly get kissed by surprise what with…” Dan began to mumble thinking back to Freta and her frequent stalkieness…
“Most people don’t do that”
“Wait a second… you were trying to kiss me?” Dan paused his mind finally catching up to the situation completely.
“Uh…” Kakure just shot back a blank stare.
“Whoa…” Dan’s eyes drifted down as the full weight of it all fall on him. “That’s cool… I guess”
“So your not mad?” Kakure said with a slightly happy expression.
“Yeah… I guess I’ll be alright. Just don’t sneak in on me like that next time.” Dan muttered as he rolled back into bed.
“OK.” Kakure nodded her head, left the room and closed the door behind herself.
KAKURE AND DAN AT THE EXACT SAME MOMENT: Wait a second…did I/he just say…does that mean that he/I.
“Why did I just say that?” Dan whispered to himself as he ruffled the pillow underneath his head. “I mean did I just invite her…I mean she is cute and everything, and nice, and she does seem to have a thing for me… and its like what Quanta man says…what happens in the parallel universe, stays in the parallel universe…” Dan nervously looked to the door. “Wait, no way… what am I thinking? Not about getting home, that’s for sure! Yeah, I need to concentrate on that, I mean who knows how much time has passed? When I was attending Polymorphics with Lilian a week passed for every 48 hours…that was until Game Box messed the space time continuum making everything more… screwy... the hell with it, I’m going to Trista’s place tomorrow for sure.

Meanwhile Kakure was pacing back and forth within her room. “What did he mean by that? It’s okay? Is what okay, that I accidentally kissed him or that I kissed him?” Kakure continued to stress over the question clenching her fists. “Grrrrrrr…” Kakure growled out of frustration and anxiety stomping out of her room she marched down to her fathers room. Maybe she could get a straight answer out of him.
SNOOOOOORE Dan’s snoring was already so loud that she could hear it by standing right in front of the door.
“RMMMM…” Kakure cringed not wanting to wake Dan up again but still having to deal with her anxiety. “I’ve got to get out of here.” Kakure turned and walked back towards her room at a quick pace shouting “Nepheline Shadowed Earth, Make up!” vines ripped out of thin air covering Kakure’s clothing forming into her Shadow Jupiter uniform. Shoving the window open she crouched down and with one final push threw her self out the window. Straightening out in mid air Shadow Jupiter slowed down unnaturally in her free fall. Extending her left toe out she tapped the pavement kicking off into the air a few dozen feet gliding unnaturally slow for someone in midair. “Hup!” Kakure huffed kicking off tapping off a lamp post then a power line and then the roof of a small building continuing to rise ever higher till she reached the top of a 12 story building. Letting her eyes scan the horizon she took note of the setting sun. “So this was day two huh?” Kakure said aloud. “And theirs still a million questions floating around!” Kakure screamed out her frustration small electrical sparks bouncing off of her form. “Wait…maybe.” Kakure turned her attention towards the general direction of Usagi’s place. “Hm.” Kakure narrowed her eyes and drew back her right leg getting herself into a sprinter position just before kicking off! Running at incredible speeds and taking long/wide leaps she pushed on back flipping and spinning across the gaps between buildings.

---MEANWHILE AT USAGI’S PLACE-
“Could you please stop that…it’s really starting to creep me out…”LUNA, said tilting her dark purple head to the side slightly.
“If I’m supposed to be a princess then I will dress like one.” Usagi bellowed back.
“Yes, yes, we all know your Serenity…but…well this is just a bit too creepy.” Luna replied back her right eye jittering a bit. Usagi was standing in front of her mirror wearing a bizarre assortment of cloth that she had OBVIOUSLY sewn together into the form of a gown, topping off the costume with a plastic Tierra Usagi continued to pose in front of the mirror. “Maybe…maybe I should talk to Artemis about that…” Luna said under her breath hoping Usagi wouldn’t hear her…if only she could be so lucky.
“NO! I THOUGHT WE HAD AN AGREEMENT!” Usagi screamed throwing herself towards Luna. “I bought you pop rocks, and you wouldn’t tell any body about…about…my hobby”
“We had no such deal, your just making things up.” Luna replied shaking her head back and forth but already Usagi was back in front of the mirror rapidly stroking her hair.
“I’m a pretty solider, I’m a pretty solider, I’m a pretty solider, I’m a pretty soldier, I’m a pretty soldier”
“Oh bother—“ Luna picked up her head sensing the rapid approach of a shadow. “You dope, get out of those rags, someone’s coming!” Luna spazzed out not wanting to have her charge caught in the act, the last thing they needed now was everyone to know just how deranged their leader was becoming.
“Rainbows and lollipops and pennies everywhere! And everything that’s wonderful and keeps you smiling”
“YARGH!!!” Luna leaped forward claws out, landing on the back of Usagi’s make shift gown she began to pull down as hard as she could pulling the dress off to reveal a T-shirt and a pair of baggy track pants underneath.
“HEY! You’ll ruin that—“ Usagi stopped fighting over the gown when she heard a knock on her door downstairs causing her and Luna to freeze.
“Well, go get it then.” Luna motioned towards the door.
“Grumble…” Usagi mumbled under her breath as she headed for her front door. “What is it?” She asked as she pulled the door open. “Hi!” Kakure now transformed back into her previous clothing said waving a hand, her face was red and she was panting slightly heavily.
“Oh, it’s you.” Usagi grumbled slightly. She figured it would be Eizou and not one of her lackeys.
“Can I come in, I’ve got a few questions I’d like to ask.” Kakure asked putting on a slightly nervous smile.
“May as well.” Usagi shrugged stepping out of the door way.
Kakure walked into the living room taking a seat on the light beige couch in the center of the room while Usagi went off to the kitchen to get a drink. After a few minutes she came back with two bottles of water tossing one over to Kakure. “Well what do you want to know”
“Well, do you remember that boy that fell out of the tree yesterday”
“The screaming one?” Usagi asked raising an eyebrow.
“Yep, what do you know about him?” Kakure asked.
“What do you mean?” Usagi asked with an increasingly annoyed expression.
“I mean, where is he from? How do you two know eachother? Look I don’t mean to pried, but I’m really concerned about him, so can’t you just put aside whatever grievances you have with him and tell me what you know?” Kakure asked with a concerned expression. Usagi just stared back blankly for a minute.
“I…don’t…know…hiiiiiimmmmm.” Usagi hissed back a giant vein throbbing on her forehead. “Could you please stop asking me that… it is really getting on my nerves”
“uh…so I’m not the only one bothering you about this then?” Kakure asked with a sheepish smile.
“Yeah…really.” Usagi rolled her eyes.
“Then why does he think he knows you?” Kakure asked continuing to scratch away at Usagi’s nerve.
“I don’t know, maybe I look like some girl he knows back in America, all the girls there are blond anyway.” Usagi quipped flipping back her pigs tails.
“But, I don’t think he’s really from America. I mean he was probably born they’re but I don’t know, his Japanese is flawless, the accent everything , you’d swear he’s lived here his whole life!” Kakure argued reflecting on how strangely fluent Dan was.
“So, he’s probably just one of those Otaku nerds we’re always hearing about.” Usagi shrugged thinking back to all of that not quite tasteful fan art she had received over the years. “Regardless, I’m taking him to see Setsuna tomorrow. That will sort things out once and for all, well at least in his mind.” Kakure nodded her head agreeing with herself.
“Huh?” Usagi looked back at Kakure with a look of confusion.
“Oh, he thinks he’s from a different dimension.” Kakure flicked her fingers. “I guess you didn’t know that”
“Different dimension?” Usagi titled her head with an increasing confused look.
“Yeah…I guess I should be leaving now then.” Kakure slowly got up from the couch looking to Usagi with a worried expression.
“Ugh…when will it end!” Usagi cried out just as Kakure left her house. Luna bounced onto the top of the couch and perched herself next to Usagi’s shoulder. “I’m following her.” Luna narrowed her eyes. “Something feels a bit off here”
“Eh?” Usagi tilted her head still lost in the entire fray of the events unfolding before her.
“A boy falling out of the sky, claiming to be from another dimension, I think I should meet this American.” Luna explained as she leapt off the top of the couch and down to the cushions.
“Don’t you have anything better to do then spy on random foreign people?” Usagi asked with a somewhat stern face.
“I’m a bloody house cat…” Luna replied with a straight forward expression not feeling it necessary to explain herself any further.
“Yeah, good point.” Usagi nodded her head in agreement.
“And nooow…SUPER ULTRA KITTY TELEPORTATION!!!” In a flash Luna warped out of the room much to the puzzlement of Usagi.
“Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaa?” Usagi tilted her head even more. “Since when could she”
“Do what?” Luna was standing next to the door frame.
“But you, just…I saw you…teleport”
“Teleport? Don’t be ridiculous, I’m only a talking magical cat.” Luna scoffed tilting her head up all pompous like before breaking into a full power dash out the doorway and towards Kakure’s home.
---MEANWHILE-
Prince Daroshay stepped out of the portal to be greeted by yet another version of Tokyo. It was insanely clean lacking a single piece of trash or dust, the sidewalks were perfectly formed lacking a single grain of dirt, the structures were oddly feudal in shape but still composed of near futuristic plastics and steel, rising hundreds of feet into the air. The Prince gazed across the area taking note of just how quiet and peaceful everything was, the only thing missing was…the people. Birds chirped and insects buzzed about but still no a single unnatural noise could be heard.
“This is…strange.” David commented as he stood next to his lord while taking down notes. “I’ll have the scanner droids brought in immediately to gather the necessary information before we call in the buds.” David went on as Daroshay continued to slowly step forward admiring the pristine beauty of this world. “Scan for all bio-signatures first…” Daroshay ordered as he walked along a small wooden bridge over a bubbling brook. “This is a very, fine park”
“Ye..yes sir it is.” David replied awkwardly a bit put off by his lords change of mood.
“I’m going to take a look around.” Daroshay replied in a slightly off beat tone while he charged his feet with orange kinetic energy. “I’ll be back in an hour or so.” Daroshay kicked off the ground rocketing dozens feet into the air closing his eyes and allowing himself to breathe in the crisp clean air as he reached the two foot mark where he slowed down hovering above the earth. From this height he could see nearly all of the city but not a single vehicle rumbled down the streets. “Hmmm.” Daroshay leaned forward slightly before slinging himself forward through the air head first. Gliding across the city he built up his speed ever higher and higher till the shrill sound of a sonic boom erupted behind him. “AH, HA,AH HA!” Daroshay squealed as he spun wildly through the air ripping across mountain ranges and eventually ocean. “FULL POWER!!!” Daroshay screamed breaking into a huge speed boost he tore his way across the pacific and hit main land china in a matter of minutes, ducking down he glided into the harbor of Hong Kong, boats bobbed up and down along the docks, water beacons continued to blink but still not a single person could be sighted. “JAH!” Daroshay leaped back up into the air gliding higher and higher a giant grin across his face, which began to change to become overshadowed by a giant silver, fish shaped space craft. “Heh?” Daroshay tilted his head a bit a confused look across his face. “Oh.” The ship was coming down very, very fast. “HFFF.” Daroshay closed his eyes tightly thinking back to the harbor and in a flash of orange light he teleported away just before the giant silver fish plummeted past his previous position. “Hufff…” Daroshay panted sweating a bit, having not teleported such a distance in a long time. Looking back up and straightening his posture he watched as the enormous vessel landed just out side the harbor. “A space craft”
BAMF!
“Yes a space craft.” “WHAT!?!” Daroshay flipped around to meet the gaze of slightly taller man with long silver hair and dressed in a blue military coat. A white porcelain mask hung between his forehead and the tip of his nose. Zippers were strewn all across his uniform.
“Who are you, and what are you doing in my kingdom? You are trespassing.” The man hissed with an angry expression as he began to pull a long sword out of the sheath strapped to his back.
“Hirobi? Didn’t I just kill you?” Daroshay replied flicking forward his index and his middle finger the orange energy sword burst to life.
“Would you like to try it again?” Admiral Hirobi asked squinting his eyes and readying his sword.
“Why not.” Daroshay squinted back as he brought his sword down to its ready position.
“SCHRAW!!!” Both screamed at the same time as Admiral Hirobi struck down with his sword while Prince Daroshay stroked upwards with his own. SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOH The swords collided in a flash of light that enveloped the entire scene, the wind twisted and contorted around the combatants creating a small tornado while the earth beneath them broke away underneath their feet into a giant gaping crater that continued to grow ever larger as the two opponents pushed each other ever further. Suddenly a furious flaming aura of purple burst out from Hirobi’s body while Daroshay’s own orange aura broke loose enveloping the two completely. The ever growing aura’s clashed and tore into eachother neither gaining or loosing more as the purple and orange energy bubble grew ever larger causing the boats in the harbor to rise into the air and crumple in on themselves. FWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOSH The docks fell to rubble and the ocean shot up around the two creating a huge circle of water that closed in around the duelists.
“YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!” Both screamed at the top of their lungs as they exerted more and more force upon each other neither giving way. Their aura’s continued to buckle and churn within one another until finally the power became over bearing and the bubble of energy imploded upon itself flowing back into the two combatants who were sent flying in either direction by the excess force given off. “Ooff…” Prince Daroshay shook the rubble off of himself as he pulled himself out of the earth. Looking forward his eyes followed an indented path from the now flooded dock out into the open water where the giant silver fish shaped space craft had capsized. Their was absolutely no sign of Hirobi at all.
“Come out, Hirobi.” Daroshay shouted out to the empty scene. “I know I didn’t destroy you.” Daroshay called out sensing Admiral Hirobi’s titanic power level.
SPLOOSH The water in the middle of the waters bent upwards in a smooth arc which began to shed away revealing Admiral Hirobi. “And I apparently didn’t even scratch you.” Hirobi muttered as he glided across the surface of the water back and into the edge of the city. As he passed over the ruins of the docks the rubble rose back out of the water and reformed. The torn apart boats reassembled and resumed their placements from before.
“Are powers are perfectly even. The counter balance is keeping us from harming one another…isn’t that right?” Admiral Hirobi suggested just as the reformation was complete.
“Clearly.” Daroshay replied rolling his eyes slightly. “Some people never change do they.” Daroshay examined the admiral a bit more. The two of them were not that different anymore. Both roughly the same height with virtually the same flat and length of hair, their body form was also almost identical. “You apparently seem to know me…but how?” Hirobi asked sheathing his katana.
“I do not know YOU, but I have known many like you.” Daroshay began to explain. “I come from a different dimension. One in which…you were…murdered.” Daroshay thought back deciding to keep a bit of the story from the Admirals ears.
“Why are you here.” Hirobi asked with a threatening gesture.
“To conquer.” Daroshay replied. “With my army…although I’am having second thoughts”
“I would suggest that you do. Your forces will hold no chance against my own.” Hirobi crossed his arms defiantly.
“So there are other people on this planet”
“No…not anymore.” Hirobi replied sneering a bit.
“Then your army?” Daroshay asked with a little snicker.
“Hmf.” Hirobi clicked a hidden button located on his the collars of his wrist and a small beam was shot into the sky. Then dozens, then hundreds, then thousands of space craft of various sizes sank down from the heavens. “”My army.” Hirobi replied throwing back his arms as even more ships rained down from the skies darkening the sun with their mighty hulls. “25,136 ships strong.” “Impressive…but if we want to compare notes…” Daroshay advanced towards Hirobi a bit more. “TRY THIS!!!” Daroshay struck his hand forward so that he collided it with master psychics forehead. Daroshay immediately began to broadcast his own thoughts into Hirobi’s mind transmitting the images of hundreds of thousands of battle suited soldiers, hordes of creepers, millions of alien foot soliders, fleets and armada’s numbering in the hundreds quick shots of every world he had conquered throughout his native universe. “I rule 348 inhabited planets …each one is armed…each one has an army”
“Who…who are you?” Hirobi asked with a nervous almost terrified expression.
“I’am Prince Daniel Lakai Daroshay III.” Daroshay replied with a superior expression. “Now tell me…where have all the people gone”
“There is no reason for me to tell you a damn thing.” Admiral Hirobi replied turning his back to Daroshay. “I know when I’am outmatched, but…this is my world”
“What have you done to it.” Daroshay asked again now with a sterner expression.
“That is none of your concern.” Hirobi replied with an aggravated expression.
“You, will tell me everything!” Daroshay cried out charging his palms with orange energy. “Or I will take it from you. POTANI!” Daroshay struck his palms forward while Hirobi attempted to teleport away, but Daroshay had expected such a maneuver and placed a track and draw back command on his psychic tendril.
“AARRRGH!!!” Hirobi broke down to the ground thriving in pain as his mental blocks were edged away at and his memories flooded back into Daroshay’s mind.
Flashes of the creation of machines, the destruction of cities, disease spreading rapidly, Hirobi screaming in a lab, the site of thousands of body bags, explosions, the reconstruction of cities, of Hirobi fleeing the planet, of the life cycle of the planet being twisted and altered by a increasing insane Hirobi in a lab, the sight of Son-Son having her tail ripped out along with her spine, the sight of Sakura collapsing to the ground her eyes and ears flooded with blood. And finally the site of Hirobi walking along the empty streets of London England.
“Fraaaaaaaah.” Daroshay gasped violently as he returned to consciousness. The quick snippets were disjointed and hard to follow. Hirobi in the mean time was collapsed in front of him apparently struggling to pull out his sword and slash at Daroshays feet while he was in his trance.
“GET OUT OF MY HEAAAAD!!!” Hirobi screamed out straining against the orange aura tears running down his eyes.
“Back.” Daroshay flicked his fingers relinquishing Hirobi and bringing him back up to his feet but 20 feet away none the less. “You…you murdered them all.” Daroshay replied horrified for the first time in his life.
“I did not murder anybody!” Hirobi screamed thrashing his head back and forth violently. “A disease struck, I tried to fight it, tried to develop a cure, it only proved to be a more violent disease… I retreated to the stars with my friends and family, tried to create a machine that could undo it all…restore everything to, before all of this horror even began... the machine certainly corrected everything…it was supposed to restore balance make earth a paradise…it certainly did so, but it left one thing out of the equation”
“Man.” Daroshay finished Hirobi’s sentence. “It found them to be destructive…so it unwrote them from existence…right?” Daroshay asked.
“Then, then they all betrayed me…everyone of them…they had to be exterminated, they had to die, I had no choice… I had no choice.” Admiral continued to ramble on reflecting back on all the survivors he had savagely murdered. “God damn it! It’s been 60 years! 60 years of paradise, a heaven with no people.” Hirobi cried out. “And the first person I see in all of these years, I attack”
“Your lying.” Daroshay said matter of factly. “You created the disease…I saw it all Hirobi”
“NO!” Hirobi cried out hunched over like a pouting child.
“You wished to wipe out all those you considered evil…all those you considered to be defective. It cost the lives of hundreds in the experiments but eventually you found the root gene of all evil”
“NO NO NO NO NO!!!” “You built this machine, this perpetual perfection machine to make the world perfect for your future perfect generation of humanity. But you forgot one thing”
“SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP!!!” Hirobi cried out the painful memories he had regressed were beginning to come back now. He had spent the last 6 decades convincing himself of a fake story and now the truth was finally coming out.
“The evil that lurks in all mans hearts is not to be found in just a selective group, it is rooted in free will. All you managed to do was create a virus that could never be stopped. When your friends begged you to stop, you murdered them, even when your female counterpart broke away to end your reign of terror…you murdered her.” Daroshay explained as the memories he tapped became more and more clear. “Your just a sick monster”
“GO AWAY”
“And that’s why I’m going to let you live and your world live.” Daroshay replied crossing his arms and smiling.
“What…” Hirobi looked up his eyes were now quite red behind the mask.
“Your powers are my equal, and my army is always looking for new talent”
“Why would I join you…” Hirobi asked crying out. “Your no better then I’am. You think I can not read your mind? I’ve seen it all, you’re a greater monster then I’am, you haven’t just killed one world you’ve killed dozens. All in your thoughts your mind, it’s all I hear, half the time, your thoughts, your past, there is no way to turn it off!” Hirobi cried shaking his head wildly. “Everything was so perfect before you came, everything was silent”
“I can teach you to control your psychic abilities…to create blocks, and as my servant. I will allow you to take people from their respected worlds and into this dead planet. Think about it, you’d be a savior to billions whose lives you deem worthy to save. To populate this empty paradise. You would be a god to them!” Daroshay continued to suggest.
“Your offering me, a second chance?” Hirobi asked with an almost grateful tone to his voice.
“I have never met anyone that equaled me in power.” Daroshay shrugged. “And your fleet…could prove most complimentary to my own”
BEEP “My lord, scans are complete there is only one other life form on the planet but the rest of this world appears to be perfectly alright for harvestation.” David informed Daroshay over his interlink.
“My men will destroy this world in a heart beat.” Daroshay hissed pulling out a command bar. “So will you join me? Or will you truly let this world die?” Hirobi looked around then to Daroshay. Here was a man many times more evil then himself, yet now he appeared to be showing mercy which was suspicious to say the least. Of course their was also the matter of if he’d be willing to let this world die. Hirobi sighed then went down on one knee.
“My lord”
“Rise.” Daroshay instructed. “David…cancel all bud launching…their has been a change in plans…” A sly smile drapped across Daroshays face as Hirobi rose once more.
--------------------BACK IN TOKYO QUITE A BIT LATER!---------------------

Kakure stepped in through her back door and into the living room. Having spent the last 3 hours wandering the city, checking out shops and checking up on friends most of whom were too busy with last minute homework. Glancing up to the clock… “7:43”…Kakure sighed, usually she’d be alright with spending the weekend at home alone without much to do. But this Dan boy had changed everything, now she wanted to do something, and felt very antsy about the entire situation. “Maybe I should just call up the girls…though I hardly know half of them.” Kakure rolled her eyes. “Eizou is probably busy with her family and… oh bugger, I’ll just watch TV.” Kakure collapsed on the couch and flicked the remote on. “I wonder whats on the fashion network.” Kakure half heartedly mumbled as she flicked to the station her eyes beginning to become glazed over with the light of the television set.
-1 hour later-
Now practically half asleep Kakure had shrunk down in her position on the couch, slouching and tipping her head back and forth. “Eeeh…” Meanwhile in the room directly behind her, a certain purple cat was sneaking in. “Hufff…huff…” Luna wheezed as she struggled to pull herself into the house. Chasing after Kakure for the last 5 hours had proven to be exhausting for the tiny feline. “She…just couldn’t go…straight home. Could she?” Luna moaned as she collapsed onto the hard wooden floor. “Urrghh…that presence…” Luna said in a hushed tone as she began to claw her way across the floor with what little strength remained in her body. Sensing Dan’s presence she continued to drag her self towards the closed door of Dan’s room. “Merrrrrrooow.” Luna cried as she scratched at the door trying to reaching up to the impossibly high knob… “This is so unfair.” Luna moaned as she collapsed to the floor. “Hey Kakure!” Dan swung the door wide open smashing Luna into the opposite wall.
“MROW”
“What was that?” Dan thought to himself looking across to the door. “Weird.” He shrugged as he walked about the house. “Kakure, I’m hungry again…Dan need food…” Dan walked into the living to room to find her passed out on the couch. “Ahhh, man… well if that’s the case I’m going back to bed.” Dan grumbled walking back to his room where Luna was just beginning to make her way around the door. Dan of course didn’t notice this, nor did he notice that when he slammed the door behind himself he crushed half of Luna’s tail in the door. “What the?” Dan moved the door in and out. “Looks like it’s jammed on something”
“…………..” Luna bit her tongue not wanting to give herself away. She was of course screaming in her head. On the fifth strike Luna managed to pull her throbbing tail out of the door frame just before it closed. Rolling away as quickly as possible Luna took shelter under the bed.
“Hmmm, most of gotten the kink out….though that doesn’t make any sense at all.” Dan commented before landing back on the bed and promptly falling asleep and snoring again immediately.
“Grumble, grumble.” Luna rubbed her crooked tail furiously. Then paused. “That presence…” Luna crawled up along the over hanging bed sheets stealthily. “Could it be?” she asked herself approaching Dan ever closer. “But, this, this has to be impossible. How could, why would?” Luna’s head shook back and forth wildly as she struggled to under stand it all. “But he is a man, I have no recollection of another male sensei other then Mamoru… I must be wrong but then again…” Luna stepped across lightly walking along Dan’s torso and up to his forehead. “I can’t believe none of this is waking him up.” Luna thought to herself as Dan tossed his head back and forth snoring madly. Slowly she reached out with a paw towards Dan’s forehead. “Reveal.” Luna commanded, seconds before a pale yellow light beamed out from under neither paw. “Ah!” Luna drew back her hand immediately in shock to reveal a bolted lightning bolt etched in with yellow energy. “Huh, uh…Luna looked back and forth with a worried expression, she looked back again and watched as the marking faded away. “Sailor, Energy…but you were never reborn, atleast, that is what the ancient text’s read…you predate the silver millennium…how is this possible?” Luna asked herself looking with a horrified glance towards Dan. “Should I?” Luna asked herself looking down to Dan’s heart. “If he truly is a Senshi and Universal class Senshi, and if he was to be trained… we would be unstoppable. But still, he may not even know it yet… he clearly isn’t right in the mind from what I’ve heard.” Luna continued to speak to herself. “Right, there is only one solution to this. “Luna bent down on Dan’s chest before launching herself high into the air. “Sailor Energy, awaken!” A beam of blue energy shot up from Dan’s chest and began to swirl and hover in the mid air twisting and contorting into a ring shape before hardening into a chrome disk with a pure white diamond cut into the center and a tiny yellow lightning bolt floating in the center. “Well that cinches it, he is another lost…prince?” Luna thought out loud. “Now I probably shouldn’t just jog him awake and force him to transform…I must report this to Usagi immediately!” Luna announced to herself, forgetting to return the crystal of Dan and choosing instead to flee, hoping up onto the bedroom window sliding it open and leaping out. “I must hurry!” Luna said rushing out of the shrubs behind Kakure’s house, and into oncoming traffic. A large Honda screeched its way towards her. “Oh bugger”
SPLAT!
Luna flopped along the side walk her paws stroking at the sky wildly, as her vision slowly faded to black.
-----The next day-
“Alright, lets do this thing!” Dan shouted out as he walked into the kitchen completely a totally refreshed with 18 hours of sleep. “Hey, nice uniform.” Dan commented as he took a box of what “looked” like cereal off a shelf. “Um, I probably should of mentioned this earlier.” Kakure mumbled tapping the spoon against her bowel of oat meal. “Mentioned what? That you like to wear cute Fuku’s? You know I have a friend back in my world who wears them all the time, she’s a bit of a whiner but---wait a second! That’s a school uniform”
“Yeah…” Kakure replied with a no duh expression. “Because I’m going to school in 10 minutes, we’ll go to Pluto’s place AFTER I get home around 3”
“But, but, school is completely unnecessary! I mean I dropped out , and look at where I’ am today!” Dan announced with something of a proud expression across his face.
“Jobless and mooching off a girl you just met?” “Hey you invited me here that means no moochy.” Dan replied shaking a finger towards Kakure across the table.
“Still.” Kakure replied. “Don’t you think you should be doing something for me in return? Maybe you could I don’t know, clean up around here”
“Oh come on, its hardly even….” Dan began to look around beginning to take notice of the dust and various messes that lay around the house, bits of dirty laundry and papers littered that house. “All that…” He continued to look around. “Is that blood on that wall?” Dan asked with a worried expression as he pointed across to a slash like marking running along the wall.
“Oh that was a bean paste cooking accident gone horribly wrong. Now look here.” Kakure pulled out a long piece of paper and slided it across the table to Dan. Here are a list of things you can do while I’m out.” Dan began to scan the page.
“Wash dishes, sweep, buy groceries!?! These are jobs a wife would do!” Dan cried out in protest.
“And your point would be?” Kakure asked with a sly grin.
“I’m not your bitch!” Dan replied.
“Do you have to throw a hissy fit like every 10 minutes?” Kakure asked shaking her head with a I don-know expression.
“Well… I suppose I could try and do a few of these things…” Dan grumbled half heartedly.
“Great!” Kakure replied with a big grin a she got up from her chair, walking over towards Dan to pick up her bags, she darted down and gave Dan a tight hug. “See you at 3 then”
“Eh!?!” Dan looked back blushing. “Yeah, sure?” Kakure headed for the door but couldn’t get out before Dan blurted out. “You have really big boobs for a 15 year old you know”
“Eh…..” Kakure stared back blankly. “What, how couldn’t I notice their like OUT THEIR! Plus you just squeezed them against my back”
“Pervert.” Kakure turned and closed the door behind herself.
“Huh? Pervert? What did I say that was so…bad….oh….ooooooooooooooooooooooooooh…..oh crap.”

----1 hour later-
“Stupid, moping the floors with stupid mops, with their stupid uh…moping” Dan grumbled incoherently as he stroke the heavy filthy mop up and down Kakure’s kitchen. “I wish I was home…Trisha or Brian would take care of all this…or I could like build a super mop with the power of a thousand mops all in one! I should write that down…super mop…then again it may go the same way as the super toilet…so much…plunging.” Dan shivered upon that recollection. Dan continued to stroke up and down for another 10 minutes before he deemed the work done. “Yeah, I’d deem this done.” I just said that… “I know you did.” WHAAAAAAAAA!?! “I guess I should go make my bed now…” Wait…so you can’t hear me then? That was weird… anyway Dan entered his room and began adjusting the rumpled sheets lining his giant mattress. When a hockey puck sized disc fell out of the sheets and clattered to the floor. Dan stared down at it for a few seconds. Scratched his his head a bit, then bugged out his eyes with his mouth falling to the floor, he then began to hop about madly screaming bloody murder for a bit before composing himself. Then looking to the power crystal again and immediately freaking out again. This pattern continued for about an hour or so until he stopped. “Okay, power jewel apparently followed me or something…that’s okay, we’ll just keep it safe and away from anyone else…” Dan spoke with a very creepy calm Mr. Rogers voice. He took the crystal and shoved it into one of the many pockets of his new zipper jeans that he had picked up the previous day while shopping. “Now to go grocery shopping…yes...that’s what I’ll do,ehehehehehhehehehehehhehe….” Dan laughed nervously as he threw on a coat, grabbed the grocery list and headed out the door. Stopping only briefly to chuck the power crystal down the first sewer line he could find. “Good riddance!” Dan screamed out getting a few odd stares from passerby’s. “Uh, evil gold fish.” Dan muttered looking to the various people watching his display. “Yeah…” Dan broke into a run for the local grocery store, not taking the time to look behind for the blast of yellow and blue light that shot out of the sewer line and into his back pocket, reforming into the power crystal once more.

--------------------4 hours later----------------

“Wow!” Kakure’s eyes bugged out as she gazed across her home, Dan had (albeit unexpectedly) really cleaned up the house well. “I can practically see myself in the floor”
BAMA BAMA BAMA (Sound of Dan rushing towards Kakure as quickly as possible carrying several bags) “OKAY OKAY LETS GO LETS GO!” Dan shouted hopping up and down. “I’am soooooooo ready to go home now”
“But, don’t you want to eat something first?” Kakure asked with a sad expression.
“I’ll stop at a McDonalds when I get home to my own dimension.” Dan replied “Now, lets go, lets go see Trista!” Dan squealed running on spot.
“Okay…wait Trista”
----At Setsuna’s place-
The walk over had been and awkward with Dan constantly looking forward while Kakure repeatedly glanced to him. After awhile they finally arrived at Setsuna’s dormitory and made their way up the several flights of stairs to her personal room.
“So Trista is living in a dorm now?” Dan asked with an intrigued expression.
“Why do you keep calling her Trista?” Kakure asked scratching her light green hair.
“Well that is her name, Trista Meioh.” Dan nodded his head. “Wait we are talking about the same Sailor Pluto here right?” Kakure questioned Dan just as they reached the 4th floor and opened up the door into the hallway.
“The freaky super genius astro-physist, master of space and time, and totally hot Sailor Pluto of the Outer Senshi?” Dan asked describing the one he remembered.
“That sounds like her.” Kakure shrugged, though I’ve hardly met the girl. “I only know her address because Eizou got a phone book of all the other senshi’s from Usagi”
“Well where I’m from we call her Trista…which come to think of it is a strangely English name.” Dan pondered to himself just as they approached room 436. “Well here we are”
---meanwhile inside the room---

“Wow hit by a car you say?” Setsuna asked while speaking on her phone, flinging back her long dark green hair briefly to get it out of the way. “What did the vetenarian say? Will she be alright?... in a few weeks huh. Well can she …talk? Oh well I’m just wondering. She can’t huh…crushed throat and torn up crescent moon…well that’s too bad, though I don’t think Usagi will be complaining, now will she.” Setsuna said with a creepingly serious tone.
KNOCK KNOCK.
“I’ll have to call you back Haruka, I think I have some visitors.” Setsuna hung up her phone and slowly made her way across her tiny dormitory room to the door.
“Hey! Setsuna, what’s happening?” Dan fumbled forward acting as friendly as possible.
“And you are?” Setsuna asked raising a dark green eyebrow.
“Uh, hey Setsuna…” Kakure pushed Dan out of the way to actually be noticed. “I think we met up a few times, I’m the Shadow of Jupiter”
“Oh yes, Kake right?” Setsuna asked as Dan sputtered trying to get her attention back.
“Kakure actually…now my friend here, is from a different dimension.” “What?” Setsuna froze with a look of wtf.
“Yeah, so he says. And he’s looking for a way home, we were wondering if you had anything we could use, or if you have any ideas?” Kakure asked trying to keep a straight face.
“Here are my calculations!” Dan pulled out the napkin from before and handed it to Setsuna her eyes immediately began scanning the page as she tried to comprehend what it all meant. “Well!
“Well, I’ll give you this. You definitely under standing Trans-Qaulimer physics. Which is actually a frightening thought seeing as only I and about oooh NOBODY knows about it! Kakure shot the door…now.” Setsuna ordered as energy began to throb around her.
“Wait no don’t transform here!” Kakure rushed back none the less to close and lock the door.
“PLUTO CRYSTAL POWER-MAKE UP!” Setsuna roared and in blast of light pink energy transformed into Sailor Pluto. Raising her staff she pointed it directly at Dan’s head. “Who exactly are you”
“Like she said , I’m from a different dimension, okay, calm down. In my dimension you taught me this junk. I figured it may be able to help me out here.” Dan shrugged.
“Why would I share this kind of information with you?” Setsuna commanded, using the small talk to forge into Dan’s past, however all she could see was what had occurred in the last 3 days all in broken flashes. Apparently he was telling the truth that or something very big was at work here.
“You were drunk.” Dan sighed shifting his shoulders up and down. “You thought because of my gadgetry, I’d be interested, and for some reason I actually listened”
“Kakure, is their anything here your not telling me?” Setsuna asked looking to Kakure with a serious expression.
“No! Thiers nothing more too it!” Kakure cried out trying to look sincere.
“Well this stuff is useless.” Setsuna grumbled crunching up the napkin and flinging it into the trash.
“Eh?” Dan slouched down with a defeated expression.
“And the only thing I’ve got to help you is this ludcrisously unlikely artifact I have on me that I made just to spite my mysterious over lords.” Setsuna continued to explain as she rummaged through a cardboard box until she pull out a glass vessel filled with green liquid and gilded in golden and silver decoration. “Spite your mysterious over lords?” Kakure asked with a confused expression.
“Yeah the guys who told me to never leave my post…and to never freeze time…and to never smile… I just like getting on their nerves to be quite honest. So I thought, wouldn’t it be fun to break a rift in space and time in their dimension, you know for shnits and giggles.” Setsuna shrugged.
“Wait…so this will allow me to cross dimensions then?” Dan asked struggling to follow everything Setsuna had just said.
“Percisley… Just hold onto it and try to visualize in your mind where you want to go. You may as well keep it too, I’ve already used it”
“Ah, neat, a souvenir.” Dan chuckled while Kakure watched him with a sad expression.
KNOCK KNOCK.
“Now who is this?” Setsuna thought to herself shape shifting back into her civilian form. Walking up to the door she unlocked it to find a man in a lab coat bouncing up and down wildly. “Mrs. Meioh! We need you in the lab immediately!” The small man screamed. “The professor needs you”
“What’s going on Takamei?” Setsuna asked racing to her closet to grab her lab gear.
“We’ve detected strange vibrations coming off form Quadrant 20 Gx5000FG8UJNOA!” Takamei blathered on cringing his hands rapidly.
“Hey don’t I know you?” Dan began to ask squinting at the university student.
“I’m sorry to leave you two but we’ve got to run.” Setsuna shouted as she raced forward and out of the room.
“Uh, thank you?” Kakure and Dan expressed gratitude at the exact same moment, creeping the two out a bit. “Soo”
“Let’s do this.” Dan held the green cylinder high above himself and thought home, using all of his will to conjure up the most visible image of the Tracto-Barn he could and those that reside in it. “Yes! I think I can feel it! Feel the power!” Dan laughed as sparks of emerald energy began to spark off of him. “Ha, ha!” Dan laughed throwing back his head as the electricity like vibes danced around him he began to float slightly above the ground.
Kakure couldn’t hold it in any longer, “Wait! Don’t go! Not yet!” Kakure cried out rushing forward to Dan and grabbing a hold of his leg as he hover a few feet off the ground, her weight began to pull him down.
“Wait, hey, let go!” Dan cried out as the emerald energy continued to become more and more intense. “What are you doing”
“I don’t know what I’m doing, I know this is what you want, I know this is what is right but…but…oh god…” Kakure looked up to Dan and noticed something a BIT peculiar. “Uh, is your hair getting longer?” “What!?!” Dan felt his hair, it was indeed growing longer nearly an inch every few seconds. But not only that but it was becoming lighter, silkier, smoother. Hey raised his hands in front of himself and watched in horror as they slowly became thinner, smaller and smoother his nails becoming more properly curved and less miscut and broken. His chest began to protrude and get much, much more heavy. “Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh nooooo!” Dan cried out just as his voice began to rise. “LET GO OF ME!” Dan knocked Kakure away. “AH!!” Dan fell flat on his face.
“Eh?” Kakure shook her head and held up a pair of blue jeans the pair Dan had just been wearing. Apparently her grip had caused them to be pulled off along with her.
“YARGH!!!” Dan squealed in a much higher pitch as the emerald energy began to consume his body completely, rapidly he ran off (While covered completely in green flames) into the nearest room, (which just so happened to be the bathroom) and slammed the door behind herself.
“Dan, you um lost your pants…” Kakure said with a shocked yet almost giggling voice holding up the jeans while still sitting on the floor. Of course, Kakure thought, how could I have ever believed something silly like his little stories. The device can’t work if his “dimension” doesn’t exist! Everything is going perfectly to plan.
“You can keep them!” Danielle shrieked back. Resting her hands on the bathroom sink Danielle looked up to the mirror reflection of herself. “Yaaaaargh…” pulling at either side of her cheeks Danielle stretched her face downwards making her eye lids look all creepy. “Change…come on chaaange.” Danielle muttered over and over again. She looked to her left hand which was still holding onto the Space Time Pike. It appeared to be cracked and was spitting out bits of green goop. “Damn it, Guardian and Angel Heart told me about this!…the magic in this thing must of set off a chain reaction…two separate magic’s can not interact, only one can over ride the other….apparently the V-Virus is more powerful, go figure.” Danielle mumbled slumping over the sink curling her hair in her index finger absent mindedly… “Oh man why didn’t I remember any of that junk those two taught before I tried this…come on chaaaange…” Danielle scrunched up her eyes trying to trigger the metamorphoses back into Danielle. “Damn it…that magic feeding on itself junk…that must be what this is…the whole one magic absorbing the inferior…which means…ah crap, I’m stuck like this for atleast… 3 days…” Danielle reflected thinking back on how the curse used to work in its purest form. “That is if I don’t leave the local area…like I did last time.” Danielle reminded herself of the gross error she had made the first time this had happened, when the curse had become temporarily permanent. And I can’t stay in here for that long…
“Dan?” Kakure knocked on the door. “Look I can understand if your upset… but don’t you see? This proves that your not really from a different dimension. Come on, this is your home, it is now and always will be.” Kakure said in a soft tone hoping it would draw Dan back out. “I’m…” Danielle replied shortly it just began to sink in. “Oh maaan…” Danielle side stepped and took a seat on the toilet cupping her face inbetween her palms. “She’s… she’s right. This was supposed to be my way home…what am I going to do now…but then again…maybe, maybe she’s right. Maybe all of my memories…” Danielle looked down to her protruding 34C’s. “Okay maybe some of my memories, are nothing but dreams…” Danielle thought it out for a bit. “No way it can’t be it’s too much…it’s too…much.” Danielle continued to cry to herself tears streaking down her face. “Damnit…Sniff.” Danielle grabbed a roll of toilet paper and blew. “Why do I always end up crying when I’m like this.” “Dan…are you crying in their?” Kakure asked with a worried tone. “Come on, cheer up.” She raised her voice giving it a chipper tone. “You know what, how about you come out on a date with me tonight and we can talk this all out, see what we’re going to do from here”
“I don’t wana.” Danielle said back trying to lower her voice as low as possible in a poorly faked male tone. “You won’t wana”
“ Oh please, lets not beat around the bush, I really like you…and…well don’t you like me too?” Kakure asked.
“Maybe a bit.” Danielle replied.
“Whats up with your voice? It sounds…weird.” Kakure stepped closer to the door.
“Well…” Danielle dropped the crappy accent. “What’s the use”
“Dan…um, your kind of freaking me out here.” Kakure replied commenting on Dan’s bizarre voice change. “You sound like…a“
“Look, Kakure.” Danielle began cutting Kakure off. “You know what they say, about a guy’s feminine side, and how he should try and get more in touch with it, or something like that.” Danielle slowly began to open the door.
“Eh”
“Well. I can do that…it’s just that… for me.” Danielle finished opening the door and revealed her 40 inch long hair slightly curly blond hair, 5,0 height, even bigger eyes, and even more feminine body dressed in a now slightly stretched black T-Shirt and a pair of boxer that now looked more like shorts. “It’s a tiny bit more literal.” Danielle cringed a bit and put on a very fake smile praying for the best reaction. Kakure just stared at the bizarre sight her only response:
“Wha?”
