The War of Rebirth, Madness and Exile
Part III:  Exile

	" I wonder what's going on?," Martina 
wondered aloud.  As soon as the words exited her 
mouth, Langourt landed on the bed.
	" Nani?  What's going on?," he asked.
	" You're dead, welcome to the afterlife!," 
Xellos giggled.
	" Well, you are dead, but we're not really 
sure if this is the afterlife," Phibby said.
	" I would hope not," Langourt said.
	" So, what's going on in the war?," Amelia 
asked.
	" Phibrizio-"
	" What about my Daddy?," Phibby yelled.
	" He got mad and went to his full Mazoku 
form, and killed me…I'm not sure why," Langourt 
shrugged.
	" Man…he must have gotten really 
mad…what did you do?," Xellos asked.
	" Phibrizio thought they killed Viv," a voice 
said from the bed.
	" He got really pissed…," a second voice 
added.  Everyone turned to see Zelas and Kosha 
sitting on the bed.
	" Kosha!," Xellos yelled.
	" Xellos!," she yelled and ran over to him.  " 
I missed you so much!"
	" I missed you to, love," Xellos said.  " 
Mistress…they got you too?"
	" Yeah," Zelas nodded and gave Xellos a 
hug.  " Don't you ever die on my again!  That's an 
order!"
	" I'll try," Xellos smiled.
	" Gods, Zelas, you act like he's not 
replaceable!," a cold voice sneered from the bed.
	" Dynast-kun!," Phibby squealed.  Then her 
face fell.  " They got you too…"
	" Yeah…," Dynast said as he got off the bed 
and marched towards Langourt.  " How about we 
find out if we're really dead, Dragon."
	" Lets," Langourt said.
	" Go Dynast!  Kick the lizards scaly rear!," 
Zelas laughed.
	" You guys!  Stop it!  Dynast-kun!," Phibby 
yelled.  Everyone ignored her.  They were all to 
busy cheering on Dynast or Langourt.  " You guys!  
Hey!"  When everyone continued to ignore her, she 
changed into her adult form and screamed, " Listen 
to me!"
	Everyone fell silent and started at Phibby.
	" Thank you," she grumbled.  " Now, I think 
whoever pulled us here wants us here for a reason, 
and I don't think that reason is to kill each other.  
Plus I don't think we've been given new bodies.  I 
was stuck here for five months by myself, and 
didn't die from lack of negative emotions."
	" Phibby-sama has a point," Kosha said.
	" So we can't die…that doesn't mean I can't 
beat up a bunch of Mazoku," Langourt sneered.  
Dynast started to power up a spell.
	" Will you guys quit it!  It's bad enough that 
were all dead because of this stupid war, but now 
that we've escaped from it, you're just going to 
start it all up again here!  We're dead!  There's not 
much we can do!," Phibby yelled.  " Plus we're 
stuck in here together until whoever put us here 
decides to let us out, and that may be never!  So 
just get used to each other!," she was silent for a 
moment, then tears began to run down her cheeks.  
" Great!  Now I'm so worked up I can't change 
back and I'm stuck like this!"  With that, the 
Hellprincess walked over to a corner, sat down, 
pulled her knees up against her chest, buried her 
face in her arms and began to sob.
	" I think everything just kind of hit her at 
once…," Amelia whispered to the others.  " She 
didn't even know she was dead until Martina, Xellos 
and I showed up a few days ago."
	" I think she misses her father and her 
brother," Martina added.  " She kept asking us 
about them when we got here."
	Dynast sighed as he looked at Phibby, then 
he looked down at his wrist where her white hair 
ribbon was still tied.  He slowly walked over to her 
and sat down.
	" Hey," he said and put a hand on her 
shoulder, " are you okay, Phibby-chan?"
	Phibby looked up at him.  " Did you just call 
me Phibby-chan?"
	" Hai…is there something wrong with that?," 
Dynast asked.
	" N-no!  Of course not," Phibby smiled.  
Then she saw her ribbon on Dynast's wrist.  " Is 
that my ribbon?"
	" Yeah…I've had it on since the day you 
died…and haven't taken it off.  Your father and 
brother have the other two," Dynast said.
	" Why do you have one?," Phibby asked.
	" Can't a man do something to remember the 
woman he loves after she dies?," Dynast asked her 
with a smirk.  Phibby looked at him.
	" You…love me?," Phibby almost choked on 
the words.  She had always thought that PJ was 
right, and Dynast could care less about her.
	" Hai," Dynast said.  " And I've missed you 
so much…"
	" I missed you too, Dynast-kun," Phibby said 
and leaned her head against his shoulder.  Dynast 
put his arms around her and held her close.

Meanwhile…
	" Is PJ okay!  What have you done to him!," 
Genie demanded.
	" Genie, this *is* L-Sama," Valterria hissed at 
her.
	" I don't care!  She better not have hurt PJ!  
We've already lost Phibby, and we're not going to 
lose PJ too!"
	L-Sama didn't respond, she just kept gazing 
at the mismatched group with an indifferent gaze…
	" What is going on!?," a deep voice rumbled 
from behind the group.  Everyone turned to see 
Shabranigdo, Ceifeed, Changer, Luna, Gaav, Deep 
Sea, Phibrizio, Viv, Tallen, Rezo, Lei Magnus, Lei 
Rezo, Xelterria, and the three remaining Dragon 
Kings standing there.
	" L-Sama has possessed PJ!," Raya yelled.
	" NANI?," everyone that had just arrived 
yelled.
	" How else would you have gotten here?," L-
Sama asked in a bored voice, " I shall release the 
boy once you all agree to stop this madness…this 
infernal and pointless war…"
	" Pointless!?," Genie screamed.  " You 
created us to fight!  You created us to cause chaos!  
And now you just want us to stop!?  And if we 
don't you're going to kill PJ!?  Like the Dragons are 
going to care!!!!"
	" Genie!," Gaav yelled, " Calm down!!!!"
	Genie ignored her father and drew her sword, 
" Let him go now!  I don't care if you are the Lord 
of Nightmares…LET HIM GO!!!!"
	L-Sama didn't even blink.
	Genie screamed in rage and charged at L-
Sama.  Genie tried to attack with her sword, but 
didn't even come within five feet of the Lord of 
Nightmares before getting blasted back almost two 
hundred feet by an invisible energy blast.  Genie 
made a sickening crunching noise as she landed and 
rolled about another fifty feet before stopping.
	" Genie!," Valterria, Gaav, Tallen, and 
Xelterria all yelled as Genie staggered to her feet and 
glared at L-Sama.
	" I said, let PJ go," Genie hissed.
	" You are a foolish girl…I find it odd that the 
Hellprince cares for you so, and is begging me to 
spare your life."
	" I'll fight for my friends, and for my race!  
Unlike you, I don't sit on a throne in the Sea of 
Chaos and pretend to care about what goes on in 
worlds I created, and interfere with what I told them 
to do when I don't like what's going on!," Genie 
roared.  L-Sama raised her hand, and a beam of 
white energy shot through Genie.  Genie made a 
gurgling noise as blood poured out of her mouth 
and a now gaping hole in her chest.  She fell to the 
ground like a statue someone had pushed over and 
landed with a thud…she didn't move after that.
	Xelterria screamed and flung herself into 
Gaav's arms, who was staring at his daughter's sill 
form.  Valterria stared gape mouthed and didn't 
move.  Tallen ran to Genie's side and after a 
moment, a tear ran down his cheek…
	" She's dead," he whispered.  " There isn't 
anything I can do…she's dead…"
	" She was right, you know…," Phibrizio said.  
" You created us to hate each other, and to 
fight…and now when things are finally going to get 
settled, you interrupt it….you did last time too."
	" You possessed Lina then, and now you 
have the Hellprince," Melgazia said.  L-Sama's 
indifferent gaze turned into a glare.
	" Then you are telling me what I do not have 
the right to interfere with my own worlds?"
	" That is what I'm saying," Phibrizio snorted.  
" Of course, I only want my son back…I lost my 
daughter already in this war, and I don't want to 
lose him too."
	L-Sama's glare stayed in place, and the 
golden glow surrounding her began to pulse…
	" I have a feeling this isn't a good sign…," 
Zelgadis said.
	" Really now?," Shabranigdo snapped.
	" Do I have to eliminate all of you?  Is that 
what I must do to stop this?," L-Sama asked.  Her 
voice was angry and the glare had become fierce.
	" We're dead," Grau said.
	" Kill us, then…if that is your will," Ceifeed 
said.
	" Yes!  Kill us for doing what you created us 
to do!  Cause your precious chaos!!!," Shabranigdo 
roared.  The Lord of Nightmares flinched, and 
that's when the world began to fall apart…literally.

	PJ started through his eyes…he was mad at 
L-Sama, and mad at Genie, and…well, not that any 
of that mattered.  He had no control over his body, 
and only saw what L-Sama looked at, and right 
now, he saw everyone he knew frozen in panic as 
the world around them began to fall apart…
	" I'll have no more of this!," PJ roared and 
began to fight the hold L-Sama had over him.  He 
wasn't going to let her destroy the world…or his 
friends and family. (what was left of them, 
anyway…)

Just as quickly as the world had begun to 
deteriorate, everything was back to normal, and L-
Sama began to laugh…
	" The boy is actually trying to regain control 
of his body," she chuckled.  " No matter…I take it 
all of you are prepared to listen now?"
	" Of course, Lord of Nightmares-sama," Lei 
Magnus said.  L-Sama now had everyone's full 
attention…after all, she was prepared to obliterate 
the world if they didn't listen, then the war really 
wouldn't matter…nothing would.
	" Fine…I shall make you and offer, which 
you can either chose to except or not," L-Sama 
said, a small smile was on her face.
	" What is that, my lady?," Volabazard asked.
" That shall be revealed to you at a later 
time…," L-Sama said in a mischievous tone.  There 
was a flash of light, and everyone was gone.

	Genie groaned as she sat up.  When she 
opened her eyes, she saw everyone that had 'died' 
that was 'important' hovering near a door and 
debating over who should open it.  Phibby was in 
her adult form, and was holding Dynast's hand.
	" Um…hello?," Genie asked as she got off 
the bed.
	" Genie!," Phibby squealed and hugged her 
friend.  " Darn it!  They got you!"
	" Who got me?," Genie asked.
	" The Dragons, my dear," Xellos said.
	" No, L-Sama got me," Genie sighed.
	" L-Sama!?!," everyone else yelled.
	" Oh, yeah…L-Sama possessed PJ and 
wants all of us to stop fighting.  She killed me when 
I lost my temper and tried to make her let PJ-kun 
go," Genie sighed.  " Why were all of you arguing 
over the door?"
	" It just appeared about a minute before you 
showed up, and we're not sure what is on the other 
side…," Martina said.
	" And until about a minute ago, we were just 
'spirits' for lack of a better term," Dynast added.
	" Now we're all alive and have bodies again.  
So, Langourt, you can open the door," Zelas said.
	" Why me!?," the Dragon King demanded.
	" *Because* you're the Dragon…hence 
you're a 'good guy', while we're 'bad guys'!," 
Kosha rolled her eyes, " So if some one is on the 
other side of that door, they are less likely to kill you 
then they are to kill us!"
	" Exactly!," Xellos grinned.
	" L-Sama, why is it always me…?," Langourt 
sighed as he headed over to the door.  "Better to get 
this over with then argue for the rest of eternity…"

	The people that had been on the battle field 
moments before were now sitting at a huge meeting 
table.  The Dragons on one side, the Mazoku on the 
other.  There were several vacant chairs on each 
side of the table, and a throne was at the head.  At 
the moment, the throne was vacant.  There was a 
huge pair of glass and gold doors at the 'front' of 
the room, and at the back, there was a single rather 
plain door.
	At first, there was silence, and then PJ began 
to scream bloody murder.
	" PJ?  What's wrong?," Viv asked.
	" She's still here…but she's not!!!!," the 
Hellprince wailed as he held his head between his 
hands.  His eyes were tightly closed, and he 
continued to scream.  :" I can *feel* her in my head!  
She won't go away!"
	" What is he babbling about?," Sherra asked.
	" I think he may be referring to the Lord of 
Nightmares," Ceifeed said.  " She may have a 
telepathic link with him."
	" Oh that's just peachy…you know what the 
effects of having L-Sama running through you're 
head day and night are, don't you?," Albatross 
asked.
	" I thought you were granted visions and had 
the ability to speak with her if she wished," Zelgadis 
said.
	" Yeah, if it doesn't drive you insane first," 
Gaav snorted.  " It certainly drove Deep Sea off her 
rocker for several millennia.  She was insane at one 
point, but now she's gotten control of it."
	" She won't go away…," PJ whispered as 
tears began to roll down his face.
	" Can you help him?," Phibrizio asked Deep 
Sea.
	" I-I can try…," Deep Sea said as she got up 
and walked over to the Hellprince.  She took a deep 
breath and took one of his hands in hers.  " PJ, 
listen to me…picture L-Sama in your mind."
	" I can't…I can't do anything," he said.
	" You have to…or she'll never leave you 
alone.  You're stronger then that," Deep Sea said.  " 
Now TRY."
	PJ managed to nod and tried to form a 
picture of L-Sama.
	" Do you have it?," Deep Sea asked after 
giving him a few minutes.
	" Hai…," he whispered.
	" Now, put walls around her…walls without a 
door…trap her in a box," Deep Sea said.
	" Okay…," PJ said after several more 
minutes passed.
	" Now, put the box in the back of your mind, 
and keep it there.  Only open it when *you* want to 
hear the 'visions' she gives you, you want to talk to 
her, or you wish to use her powers," Deep Sea said 
as she pictured *her* box in *her* mind when L-
Sama was stored.  " Better?"
	" Yes…," PJ said after a moment's 
hesitation.  " Thanks, Deep Sea," he smiled up at 
her.
	" Sure," Deep Sea smiled as she returned to 
her seat.
	" Now that that is over with, what in the hell 
are we supposed to do?," Valgarv asked.  Melgazia 
opened his mouth to reply when the door in the 
back of the room opened, a figure was pushed out, 
and the door slammed shut again.  Everyone started 
at the figure in amazement.
	" Heh…heh…well hello everyone…," the 
figure said in a sheepish voice.

Meanwhile…
	" Do you think he's okay?," Martina asked.  
She and all of the other 'dead' people were 
crammed up against the door, listening for some 
sign from Langourt, who they had (rather rudely) 
shoved out the door a mer moment before.
	" Langourt-san is perfectly able to take care 
of himself," Kosha reassured her.  " Someone's 
hand is not in a very polite place," she hissed a 
second later.  Dynast blushed and moved his hand.  
That's when the door opened and Phibby, Martina, 
Amelia, Xellos, Kosha, Zelas, Dynast, and Genie fell 
into the next room in a heap.

	Dynast managed to pull himself out of the pile 
of bodies first, then he turned around and helped 
Phibby out.  Zelas managed to keep her dignity as 
she wiggled her way out from under Martina and to 
her feet.  Martina scrambled up a second later, 
followed by Kosha.  Xellos, on the other hand, got 
slapped by Amelia when he landed on her.  Genie 
rolled her eyes, stood up, and dusted off her trench 
coat.
	" I assure you, that was an accident, Amelia-
chan," Xellos grumbled as he got to his feet.
	" Gomen…," Amelia muttered sheepishly as 
she too got up.
	" That was rather rude, ne, Langourt-san?," 
Kosha asked as she tried to straighten out her hair.
	" I'm inclined to agree with her," Dynast said.
	Langourt sighed and pointed to something in 
the room they were now in.  Everyone else turned 
simultaneously too see all the 'important people' as 
Genie had phrased it moments before.  A split 
second later, Martina and Zangulus were hugging, 
Phibby was in her ten year old form again getting 
squeezed to death by her father and her brother, 
Genie was likewise being crushed by her parents.  
Amelia was tying to breathe as Naga hugged her and 
laughed at the same time, and her father crushed 
both Amelia and Naga in a bear hug.  Rezo, 
Changer, and Lei Rezo had a death hold on Kosha.  
Raya decided to latch on to her father first since 
others were hugging her mother.  Dynast and Zelas 
were acknowledged by the other Lords and 
Shabrangido with a nod.
	" How…?," Zelgadis began as Phil and Naga 
released Amelia and her, Lina, Gourry and Silpheil 
got a hold of her.
	" We're not sure exactly," Phibby said.  " All 
I know is that one minute I'm fighting Dragons, the 
next, I'm in that room."
	" That's basically how it was for all of us," 
Langourt said.  " One second we were fighting, the 
next, we were here."
	" Where is here anyway?," Dynast asked.
	" We're not sure exactly," Viv shrugged.
	" My palace, of course," L-Sama said as she 
walked in.  " This is my meeting room.  And this is 
where I shall make you the offer I mentioned earlier.  
As some of you have pointed out, I created you to 
cause chaos, and under normal circumstances, I 
would have aloud the war to continue and one side 
to finally conquer the other…which side would it 
have been?  I have no way of knowing.  But that 
does not matter, because these are not normal 
circumstances.  The humans of your world are 
advancing far beyond what I had expected humans 
of your world to go…magic is beginning to grow 
more scarce, and soon it will be gone completely.  
And with out magical beings such as yourselves to 
interfere, it will stay that way."
	" So you want us to leave our world?," 
Ceifeed asked.  L-Sama nodded.
	" Or you may stay, but be turned into 
humans," L-Sama said.
	" *That's* you're offer?," Shabranigdo 
snorted, " Stay here or be turned into humans 
without magic?"
	" I take it we would lose our magic powers?," 
Lina asked.
	" Yes, you would, Lina.  And no, Ruby Eye, 
that is not my offer.  Your options are to stay in 
your world as humans without magic, or go to a 
new world which I shall create for you, and stay as 
you are now.  Each of you will get to decide for 
yourselves what you chose to do."
	" What if we wish to remain here, with you?," 
Ceifeed asked.
	" I may permit you to do so.  I will give you 
an hour to think this over," L-Sama said.  " Oh yes, 
you may not tell the others your decision.  I want 
this decision to come form your heart…not from 
you're friend's or families." With that, L-Sama got 
up and left.

An hour later…
	It seamed like an eternity before L-Sama 
returned.  Most of the people in the room had come 
to a rather quick decision, and they spent the rest of 
the time agonizing over weather or not their friends 
and family were going to go or stay.
	Viv sighed…she had spent the time since her 
race's destruction living out a 'normal' life, and 
knowing she was a Dragon/Mazoku half-breed was 
much more fun…plus there was Phibrizio, and she 
knew he would go.  With another sigh she looked at 
her brother and prayed he would chose to go to the 
'new world' as well.
	Tallen tried not to fidget to much as he tried 
to figure out what to do.  He knew more then likely 
that his parents would stay put and live as humans, 
but he *knew* all the Mazoku, and most of the 
humans, for that matter, would leave.  Which meant 
that all of his friends would be going as well.  With a 
frustrated grumbling noise, he slammed his forehead 
against the table, and mumbled to himself, "I hate 
my life…"  PJ giggled at his friend from across the 
table.  With a smirk, Tallen realized he was going to 
have to say good bye to his parents soon.
	Zelgadis was in turmoil.  He could stay, and 
be human, or go and stay as he was.  Did staying 
mean he would regain his true form?  But he knew 
Lina, Amelia, and all his other friends would be 
going.  He could tell that Lina had decided that the 
second L-Sama had finished giving them her offer.  
Was being human really worth never seeing his 
friends again?  Zel wasn't so sure…
	Aqua and the other Dragon Kings exchanged 
silent looks.  They weren't going anywhere…so 
what if they were human?  So what if they lost their 
powers.  This was *their* world.  They has spent 
their entire lives protecting it, and they would not 
abandon it now.
Soon…
	" I shall start with the Mazoku," L-Sama said.  
" How about I just ask this:  are any of you going to 
stay?"
	No one on the Mazoku side moved.
	" Thought so," L-Sama smiled.
	" Lord of Nightmares?," Valgarv suddenly 
said.  Raya, Viv, Valtarria, Xelterria and Vallos all 
looked over at him.
	" Yes?," L-Sama asked and raised an 
eyebrow.
	" I'll go…if you turn me back into an Ancient 
Dragon," Valgarv said.  L-Sama looked at him, and 
started to laugh.
	" I do believe you have just given me a 
ultimatum," L-Sama giggled.  Valgarv sighed 
inwardly.  L-Sama smiled warmly at him, " I 
suppose I shall grant your request, since you're the 
only person who has ever stood up to me like 
that…," she giggled as a golden glow surrounded 
Valgarv.  " I left your appearance the same, by the 
way…but you are an Ancient Dragon."
	" Thank you, L-Sama," Valgarv said.  She 
smiled.
	" Now, on to the Dragons…are any of you 
going to go?," L-Sama asked.
	" I am," Tallen said.  " I feel that my place is 
with the Mazoku"
	" What about the rest of you?," L-Sama 
asked. None of the Dragons moved.  " Now, Lina 
and friends, Luna, you're included in this, what is 
your decision?"
	" I think I speak for all of us when I say 
we're going," Lina said.  Her friends nodded.
	" Well, I should have known it would have 
turned out this way," L-Sama said.  " Now, it will 
take me several weeks to make the new world for all 
of you to live in…you will remain here until I finish 
it.  Shabrangido, Ceifeed…you will go back to the 
way you were before being born into human bodies.  
I will transport the Mazoku and Ancient Dragon 
races to the new world when it is completed.  You 
have run of my palace until I send you to your new 
homes."  L-Sama left with those words.
	" This isn't fair!!!!," Shabranigdo whined and 
ran off after L-Sama.
	" Well, things are back to normal, ne?," Lei 
Magnus smiled, and everyone else rolled their eyes.

A week later…
	L-Sama had informed everyone she still had 
two weeks till the world was finished.  PJ, Phibby, 
Tallen, Genie and Valterria had explored the palace 
up and down, and found one locked door.  And it 
was driving them nuts…
	" PJ!  Get over it!," Phibby said and hit her 
brother over the head.  It was much easier now, 
since she was almost five feet five inches tall.  
Dynast preferred her adult form to the child, and 
Phibby had become accustomed to running around 
as an adult.  Phibrizio and PJ didn't like it very 
much…
	" You're sister is right," Lina said as she, 
Gourry, and Zel walked up.  " Move over so I can 
have a crack at it."
	" Ano, Lina…why are we doing this again?," 
Gourry asked.
	" Lina *thinks* that there might be magical 
weapons and items behind this door," Zel rolled his 
eyes.  " How do I always manage to get hung up in 
this stuff?," he mumbled.
	" What are the eight of you up too?," Kosha 
asked as she and Xellos walked up.
	" Sore wa himitsu desu," Tallen grinned.
	" Now, now…no fair using our phrase back 
at us," Xellos said as he watched Lina try and pick 
the door's lock.  " Maybe a needle would work 
better, Lina-san."
	" I don't have one!," Lina yelled and 
continued to fiddle with the door.
	" Breaking and entering, huh?," Valgarv 
snorted as he and Viv rounded the corner.
	" I'm not even going to ask," Viv sighed as 
she gave PJ and Phibby suspicious looks.  They 
grinned innocently at her.  She rolled her eyes.
	" Do either of you have a needle?," Lina 
asked.
	" I do!," Albatross said as he materialized.  
He handed Lina the needle, then he turned to Xellos, 
Kosha, and Valgarv.  " Have any of you seen Deep 
Sea Dolphin-sama?  I need to ask her a question?"
	" I haven't seen any of the Lords all 
morning," Kosha said.  " Turn it the other way, 
Lina-san."
	" Will you all shut up!," Lina hissed in the 
'Dragon Spooker' voice.
	" Darn it…I was looking for Phibrizio-kun 
too," Viv mumbled.
	" I'm right here," Phibrizio said as he and the 
other Lords came out of a room down the hall.  " 
What are all of you up too?"
	" I am trying to pick this lock so we can all 
see what is behind this door!," Lina growled.  Then 
she face-faulted.  " My needle broke!"
	" You mean *my* needle, my dear," 
Albatross said, Lina fireballed him.
	" Oh, that's no problem," Zelas said and cast 
some spell on the door.  It swung open.
	" Shall we?," Valterria grinned as he walked 
into the room.  Everyone else followed, weather 
they had wanted to see what was behind the door or 
not.

Meanwhile…
	Luna Inverse shook her head as she watched 
the group head into the room.  They were just 
asking for trouble…Luna knew darn good and well 
why that door was locked.  That room was L-
Sama's 'entertainment' room.  She watched her 
worlds (and others) and caused general mischief in 
that room.  Nothing but trouble befell anyone who 
entered that room but the Lord of Nightmares 
herself…
	" Ceifeed help me…I'll need strength to keep 
this group out of to much trouble," Luna sighed as 
she headed for the door.  " If that *is* even 
possible…"

	L-Sama giggled as she watched everyone 
enter the room.  Perhaps she could have a little 
fun…the new world could wait.

Soon…
	" Cool!," PJ grinned.  The room was huge.  It 
had a think, soft white carpet, a huge black leather 
couch that ran along three of the room's walls and 
could easily seat thirty or more people.  There was a 
small kitchen attached to the room, and there was 
just about anything you could want in there.  The 
best thing though, was the wall size TV…and it's 
remote, which had almost three hundred various 
buttons.  There was also a VCR, but it has a thick 
layer of dust on it, and the 'erase' button had been 
torn off…
	" I've died and gone to heaven," Gourry 
sighed from the kitchen.
	" Not quite," Luna muttered.  Before long, 
everyone had a snack and a drink, and had piled 
onto the couch.
	" What to watch?," Phibrizio giggled as he 
picked up the remote and pushed the 'on' button.
	The TV flashed to light, and a giant Pikachu 
materialized on the screen.
	" Pokemon…change it now!," Lina hissed, as 
the not too fond memories of being a Pikachu 
flashed through her brain.  The next station had a 
show called Babylon 5 on, but 'to be continued' 
was frozen on the screen, along with a chibbi L-
Sama.
	" I don't want to know," Valterria sighed.  
The next show looked interesting.  A giant 
'building' that looked sort of like a wheel was 
floating in space, and smaller ships were attached to 
it, and flying around it.  Once, a ship disappeared 
into a giant, blue swirling 'pool' that appeared in 
space when it flew close to it.
	" Leave it here.  This looks neat," Viv said as 
a picture of a dark skinned man with funny ridges 
on his forehead came on the screen.  As Phibrizio 
set the remote down, his finger brushed a button, 
there was a beep, and the TV screen flashed a bright 
white, and the occupants of the room vanished.

	A few seconds later, L-Sama came in and 
unfroze the TV screen.
	" Poor, poor DS9…," she muttered.  " I 
rather liked that space station.  Well, I might as well 
watch the chaos unfold…"

The End!

Well, of the war anyway…of course, this is just 
leads me into my next story! ~ Viv-sama
