Slayers Trek: The Next Explosion!

	It had been a fairly normal day on Deep 
Space Nine. . . Gul Dukat had arrived the previous 
day, but so far, he hadn't caused any trouble (other 
then being himself, which annoyed the heck out of 
Major Kira).  No Dominion ships had been seen for 
over a week, and Captain Sisko was beginning to 
wonder when things were going to liven up 
again. . . he didn't have long to wait. . . 

*Note:  The war with the Dominion has not started 
yet, and Cardassia has not become allies with the 
Dominion yet either*

	Lina, Zel and Gourry blinked in amazement 
as they looked at their new surroundings.  They 
were in what appeared to be a bar, and it was full 
of people. . . well, what they assumed were people.  
Some of the other patrons had blue skin, or gray 
skin, or even orange skin.  Some of them had 
ridges on their foreheads, and some of them had 
huge ears.
	" Where in L-Sama's name are we?," Lina 
hissed at Zel.
	" I think we teleported through L-Sama's TV 
and to this world," Zelgadis said.  " What was that 
show called. . . Deep Space Nine?"
	" Where are the others?," Gourry asked.
	" They're probably here too, just in different 
places," Lina said.  " We should probably go find 
them. . . "
	" Why don't we just stay here and let them 
find *us* for a change?," Zel asked.
	" Yeah Lina, this place is kind of nice," 
Gourry grinned.  One of the people with orange 
skin and big ears came over to the table that the 
three friends were sitting at.  He had small eyes and 
his teeth were jagged and pointed.
	" I'm glad you're enjoying your stay here at 
my fine establishment," the man said.
	" Uh. . . yeah," Lina said.  " What is this place 
called again?  I'm afraid it's slipped my mind."
	" Quark's," the man said, " and I am Quark, 
by they way.  Can I get you anything to drink?"
	" Coffee. . . black," Zelgadis said.
	" Uh. . . water for me," Gourry smiled.
	" A glass of wine," Lina said.  A few minutes 
later, Quark returned with their drinks, and said that 
they owed him three strips of latinum.
	Lina dug around in her pocket and placed 
three gold coins on the table.
	" What is that?," Quark asked.  " I said 
latinum."
	" Well, that's all we have," Lina said. " I'm 
sure it's worth more then three strips of latinum."
	" You have no money?!," Quark looked as if 
he might faint.  " I'm afraid I'll have to call 
security. . . "
	" What for, Quark?," a man asked as he 
walked up.  He looked human, but his face looked 
more two-dimensional.
	" Odo, these people don't have any money 
to pay for their drinks," Quark whined.
	" Alright, you three are going to the brig," 
Odo sighed.
	" But we have money!," Gourry sputtered 
and pointed to the coins Lina had set out on the 
table.
	" That may be currency on your world, but it 
won't work here.  Now come along before I have 
to call more of the deputies in," Odo said as he 
crossed his arms over his chest.  Lina was giving 
Odo the 'bane of all who lives, Dragon Spooker, 
Bandit killer, ext. ext.' look.  Zelgadis was about to 
tell her to let it go and just do as the man said, 
when she stood up and let Odo lead her away.  Zel 
and Gourry exchanged relieved looks and 
followed.

	Phibby, PJ, Valterria, Tallen, and Genie 
blinked and gave each other 'what in the heck just 
happened?' looks.  
	" Where are we?," Tallen asked as he looked 
around.
	" A clothing shop, by the looks of things," 
PJ said.
	" I hadn't noticed," Phibby rolled her eyes.
	" How may I help all of you?," a voice asked 
from across the room.  The five companions 
looked up and saw a man with grayish skin and 
black hair smiling at them.   He had ridges around 
his eyes, and along his neck and jaw line.  His eyes 
were a bluish gray color.
	" Who are you?," Genie asked.
	" My name is Garak," he said.
	" Do you run this store?," Phibby asked as 
she began to look at a dress.
	" Yes, actually."
	" You made all these clothes?," Tallen 
asked.  Garak nodded.
	" How much is this?, Phibby asked and 
pointed at the dress she had been looking at.  
Garak named a price, and Phibby frowned.  " 
What's latinum?"
	Garak gave Phibby an odd look.  " What 
currency do you have, my dear?," he asked.
	Phibby made PJ and the others fork over 
what gold pieces they had.  All together, the group 
had twenty gold pieces.
	" You don't need a new dress," PJ 
grumbled, and Phibby hit him.
	" We've got twenty gold," Phibby said.
	" I suppose I could take it," Garak said, and 
Phibby picked up the dress and was about to hand 
Garak the money when she saw Zel, Lina and 
Gourry being led off by some man.
	" Look!," she yelled and pointed.  Everyone 
turned to look, and a split second later, Garak was 
alone in the shop.
	" Well, at least they're headed for the 
brig. . . ," Garak sighed as he headed off after them.  
" They didn't seem like the type of people that 
would steal. . . "

	The Five Mazoku Lords looked around at 
their new surroundings and sighed.
	" So, how mad do you think L-Sama is?," 
Dynast asked.
	" Depends on where we are, and what is 
going on at the moment," Phibrizio mumbled.
	" Who are you?," a young woman asked 
from a doorway.  The Lords looked up at her.  If 
they had seen Garak, they would have noticed that 
she had the same ridges on her face as he did, but 
they weren't as bold as his were.  (You could 
barley see this girls at all)  Plus she had a small 
series of ridges on the bridge of her nose.  Her skin 
was light gray, and she had black hair.
	" Ziyal, who are you talking too?," a male 
voice asked from another room.
	" Uh. . . I'm not sure, father," Ziyal said as 
she continued to watch the Lords.  Phibrizio 
grinned and went into his 'I'm so cute and 
innocent' mode.  A minute later, Ziyal's father 
came out of the room.  He had ridges on his face 
too, but they were a lot more evident then Ziyal's 
were.  His skin was gray, and he had black hair.  
There were no ridges on his nose.
	" Who are you?," he demanded.
	" I am Dynast, and these are my. . . siblings," 
Dynast said, and practically gagged on the word 
siblings.
	" What are you doing in my quarters, and 
better yet, how did you get here?," he asked.
	" You wouldn't believe us if we told 
you. . . my name is Zelas, by the way."
	" Dukat to Security."
	" Security here," a voice echoed from 
nowhere, and the Lords pretended not to be 
confused as to where the voice was coming from.
	" There are five intruders in my quarters.  
Please come and arrest them," Dukat sneered.  " 
NOW."
	" On our way, sir."
About five minutes later. . . 
	Six security officers showed up at Dukat's 
quarters, and began to try and lead the Lords out.
	" Play along," Phibrizio hissed to the others 
in Mazoku.  He guessed from the looks he got 
from Ziyal, Dukat, and the security officers that 
they could understand him, but he decided that was 
a mystery for another day.
	" So," Deep Sea asked as she walked down 
the hall, " where is this brig you're talking about?"

	Viv and Valgarv looked around their new 
surroundings with puzzled looks on their faces.  
After realizing he had no clue where he was, Val's 
suspicious Mazoku instincts kicked in. . . and his 
protect little sister instincts as well.  Not a very 
good combination. . . 
	Viv, on the other hand, being as curious as 
she was, began to take a closer look at the room 
she was in.  It looked like some sort of temple, and 
Viv noticed an ornate box at the front of the room 
on an altar.  A strange green glow was showing 
through the small opening in the front of the box 
where the doors came together.  While Val was still 
in 'find threats and destroy' mode, Viv crept up to 
the box and opened.
	" It's beautiful. . . ," Viv gasped.  A green 
hour glass shaped orb was floating in the box, and 
it was giving off a bright green glow.  Viv 
tentatively reached out a hand to pick the orb up.
	" Viv are you sure you should be doing 
that?," Val asked her with a raised eyebrow.
	" I don't think-," Viv started.
	" Young lady!  How dare you try and take an 
Orb of the Prophets!," a woman in priest like attire 
yelled.  Viv shut the doors of the box and whirled 
around.  Val slowly turned to see who was yelling.
	" An orb of the whats?," Val asked.  The 
lady turned bright red glared at them.
	" How-how dare you!  Acting like this in a 
temple!  Computer!  Get me security!," the lady 
yelled. Valgarv and Viv gave each other a worried 
look.  That didn't sound good at all. . . 
A few minutes later. . . 
	" And the girl with purple hair was trying to 
steal the Orb!!!," the priestess said as she came 
back into the room with several men in brown 
uniforms.  They, and the woman, looked human 
except for a series of small ridges on the bridges of 
their noses.
	" Alright, you two are going to have to come 
with us," one the men sighed.
	" We aren't going anywhere," Val growled.  
Viv put her hand on his shoulder.
	" Maybe-," she started.
	" Look, I don't want to have to hurt you," 
one of the men said and drew a weapon of some 
sort and pointed it at Viv.  Val's eyes flashed red 
and he was about to chunk a fireball at the stupid 
'human' when Viv jumped in front of him.
	" You'll have to excuse my brother. . . he's 
under a lot of stress, and he's not in to good of a 
mood today," Viv said.  Then she grabbed the still 
shocked Val's arm.  " Lead the way. . . .uh. where 
are we going?"
	" The brig," the man sighed as he put the 
weapon away.  " The Constable is going to be 
mad. . . we've already got thirteen people in there."
	" I think we may know most of them," 
Valgarv sighed and shook his head.

	Kosha, Albatross and Xellos gave each other 
evil grins and giggled.
	" You know, we could really cause some 
problems here," Albatross smiled.
	" Yep. . . sticking three tricksters together is 
not exactly the best thing in the world to do," 
Kosha agreed as she looked around.  They were in 
what looked to be a rather large hallway, and all 
sorts of people were milling about.
	" It looks like we're on the upper level of 
some sort of market place," Xellos said as he 
looked over the railing at the bottom floor.  " 
Look. . . it appears Viv and Valgarv have already 
gotten into trouble!"
	Kosha and Albatross joined Xellos at the rail 
and looked down just in time to see Viv and Val 
being lead by men in brown uniforms to a room.
	" Hmm. . . I wonder," Albatross said as he 
examined a consul that was stuck in a wall.  After 
pressing a few buttons, he smiled.  " It may take a 
few minutes, but I think we may actually be able to 
crack into this places security and see what's going 
on, and maybe even find the others. . . "
	" Let's try it, then," Xellos smiled.  It was a 
whopping four minutes before the nice men in the 
brown uniforms showed up.
	" What do you three think you're doing?," 
the 'leader' of the group asked.
	" Uh. . . sore wa. . . ," Kosha stared.
	" Himitsu desu," Xellos finished.  Albatross 
slapped his head with his hand and sighed.
	" Let me guess. . . you're going to take us to 
that establishment down there, right?," Albatross 
asked and pointed to where Viv and Valgarv had 
been taken.
	" Wow, you've actually got a brain up 
there," the 'leader' said.  " Come on."

	Luna looked around and grinned.  " Got to 
love Zone's Ruin," she smiled to herself.  Due to a 
previous encounter with the above mentioned 
pony, she knew exactly where she was. . . of course, 
it had been about ten years since she had been 
here, and Dukat wasn't in the office, a dark skinned 
human man was.  Luna couldn't quite put her finger 
on it, but something about him seemed very 
familiar. . .   Obviously, things on Terok Nor had 
changed. . . 
	" Luna!?," a surprised voice asked from 
behind her.  Luna turned and saw a familiar face.
	" Nerys!," Luna grinned.
	" That's Major Kira now!," Kira grinned as 
she walked over and gave Luna a hug, " How did 
you get here!"
	" Well, pretty much how I did last time. . . and 
when did you become a Major?  And where is 
Dukat?  He's obviously not in charge any more!"
	" The Cardassian's left!  Bajor is finally free 
of their rule!," Kira beamed.  " The Federation 
came to help us get back on our feet, and that's 
Captain Benjamin Sisko.  He's the commander of 
the station now."
	" Terok Nor under Federation 
jurisdiction. . . ," Luna giggled.  " Things have 
certainly changed here!"
	" It's Deep Space Nine now," Kira grinned.
	" Is Odo still here?," Luna asked just as the 
turbo lift arrived in ops.
	" Luna?," Odo asked.
	" Hey ya!  I was just asking about you!," 
Luna laughed.  " Still as serious as ever, I see, 
Constable!"
	" Of course," Kira smiled.  Then she turned 
to Odo.  " What is it?  You seem worried."
	" How can you tell?," Luna muttered and 
Kira had to hold her breath to keep from giggling.
	" I have eighteen people in the brig, and there 
is no record of any of them arriving on the 
station. . . nor is there one of you arriving, Luna," 
Odo sighed.
	Luna smiled after making a quick mental 
count of how many of her friends had warped to 
Terok. . . Deep Space Nine, and laughed.
	" What?" Kira asked.
	" Well, I arrived in a similar matter to as I did 
last time," Luna said.
" A inter-dimensional portal, right?," Odo 
asked'
	" Yep. . . but this time, I had eighteen friends 
with me when the. . . warp occurred.  I'm almost 
positive that they are the people in the brig."
	" Good.  I've got Quark-"
	" Quark's still here?," Luna beamed.  " I'll 
have to swing by the bar."
	Odo continued like he hadn't been 
interrupted, " Garak-"
	" Garak too!," Luna laughed.
	" He's supposed to be a 'simple tailor'," 
Kira chuckled and Luna burst out laughing.
	Again, Odo continued, " and Dukat-"
	" Dukat is here!?," Luna laughed.  " I guess 
I'll get to bother everyone's favorite Cardassian a 
little more this visit!"
	Odo didn't even pause, " breathing down 
my necks because of criminal offenses these 
people have committed.  Not to mention Star Fleet 
Security and the Bajoran's from the temple."
	" Sounds like my friends alright," Luna 
nodded with a grin as she, Odo, and Kira headed 
down to security.

	Security was a mad house.  Since Odo had 
gone up to ops to get Captain Sisko's opinion on 
what to do, Worf had to deal with Quark, Garak, 
and Dukat who were all bugging him about what 
was going to be done about the criminals in the 
brig.  Ziyal, Dukat's daughter, was standing in the 
corner of the office with an amused smirk on her 
face.  That just made Worf's permanent scowl 
darken.  Of course, Klingon's were never exactly 
perky people to begin with.  
	" I demand to know-," Dukat was starting to 
demand when the doors to security opened and 
Major Kira, Odo, and a woman Worf did not 
recognize came in.  The woman with in an old style 
Earth waitress uniform and had light purple hair.  
Her bangs covered her eyes.
	" Luna!," Garak smiled.
	" Hi ya!," Luna laughed and gave him a hug.  
" Hello to you to, Dukat-sama!," she laughed, gave 
him a peck on the cheek, and headed back to the 
holding cells.
	" Who was that, Father?," Ziyal asked.
	" An old. . . friend of sorts," Dukat said.  " 
When did everyone's favorite magic wielding 
waitress arrive?," Dukat asked Kira.
	" Funny. . . she was just referring to you as 
everyone's favorite Cardassian," Odo said.
	" But we all know that's a lie. . . ," Kira said 
and headed after Luna.
	" Who is that woman?," Worf asked Odo.
	" She's a sorceress from another dimension.  
She was here about ten years ago, and made 
friends, believe it or not, with Kira, Dukat, Garak, 
Quark and myself in her three week visit," Odo 
said.  " She is a rather unique girl."
	" And I didn't even get a hello," Quark 
pouted.
	" I was waiting for you to start whining," 
Luna giggled as she walked back into the office and 
gave Quark a hug.
	" How come Dukat gets a kiss and the rest 
of us don't?," Quark pouted.
	" Cause he's my favorite," Luna grinned.  " 
Come on.  I was right.  All eighteen of those people 
come from my world, and my little sister Lina is in 
there.  I want all of you to met her."

	" I didn't even do anything!!!!," Lina yelled.  
She Gourry, Zel, Viv, Kosha and Val were in one 
cell, the Lords and Xellos were in another, and 
Tallen, Genie, Valterria, Phibby, PJ, and Albatross 
were in another.
	" You stole drinks from me," Quark said as 
he and the others entered.  Kira was already in the 
room, and she was the one Lina was whining at.
	" I gave you perfectly good gold pieces," 
Lina pouted.
	" Hey!  Phibby yelled when she saw Garak.  
" Get them to open this and I'll give you the money 
for the dress so me and my friends can go."
	" We didn't break and enter," Gaav snorted.  
" It's not our fault we just showed up in Dukat's or 
whatever the hell his name is, room."
	" I wasn't going to take the Orb of the 
Prophets!," Viv pouted, " and Val wouldn't really 
fireball anyone."
	" Do you really think we could have done 
any damage?," Albatross asked.  " I was only 
messing around with the computer thingy. . . "
	" Where's Luna-san?," Gourry asked. . . and 
got nailed by Lina.
	" I'm right here," Luna said as she stepped 
out from behind her friends.
	" Luna!," everyone in the cells yelled.
	" Get us out of here," Phibrizio demanded.
	" Last time I checked, I was the Knight of 
Ceifeed. . . not of Shabranigdo, Hellmaster 
Phibrizio-sama."
	Phibrizio glared at her.  " Well, now that they 
know who I am. . . ," he started, then he vanished, 
and reappeared outside the cell, " there is no need 
for me to act like a human."  
	" Fireball," Luna said.  The Fireball nailed 
Phibrizio head on, and the Hellmaster fell flat on his 
back, charred.
	" Phibrizio-kun!," Viv yelled.  " Luna-chan!  
That was mean!!!"
	" Kisma," Phibrizio hissed at Luna as he 
stood up, his regenerating powers were already at 
work.
	" Oh, get over it, Phibrizio," Luna rolled her 
eyes.  " Everyone from my world, listen up.  
Believe it or not, this is one of L-Sama's worlds.  
Magic doesn't exist anymore, and humans have, as 
you can tell, become incredibly advanced 
technology wise."
	" Is this what our world is going to be like in 
a couple thousand years?," Zel asked.
	" Perhaps," Luna nodded, " but all you need 
to know is that this is Death Fog and 
Kumokasumi's world.  Kumokasumi is in what is 
now known as the wormhole with the Bajoran 
Prophets.  She herself is not one of the Prophets, 
but she watches over them and this world much 
like Ceifeed watched over ours.  Think of the 
Prophets as being this world's Dragon Kings, but 
they only really concentrate their efforts on Bajor."
	" What about the Mazoku?," Valgarv asked.
	" Yeah, what about Death Fog?," Zelas 
asked.
	" Right now, he is trapped on Bajor in what 
is known as the Fire Caves, along with the Fallen 
Prophets, or Pah-wraiths.  The equivalent to you 
five," Luna said and nodded to the Lords.
	" How come we always lose!?," Gaav 
roared.
	" We didn't in Dark Star's world. . . that was 
kind of a stale mate," Xellos piped up.
	" Yeah, Dark Star and Voirfeid joined," 
Kosha said.
" Anyway, the wormhole is also known as 
the Celestial Temple, and it's where the Dragon 
God of this world is.  And the Demon King is 
trapped down on Bajor."
	" Wait, wait. . . I've seen at least ten different 
races on this station. . . on our world, we had the 
Dragons, the Mazoku, and the humans. . . in this 
world, did it begin with the Dragons, now known 
as the Prophets, the Mazoku, AKA Pah-wraiths, 
and the Bajorans?," Dynast asked.
	" You got it," Luna nodded.
	" So, does Kumokasumi have a knight?," 
Viv asked.  " And what about Death Fog?"
	Luna just smiled. " Sort of. . . "
	" Sort of?," Lina asked, " They either do, or 
they don't!"
	" I don't feel so good. . . ," Kosha suddenly 
said.
	" Me either. . . ," Zelas said.  Before long, all 
the magic users were complaining about feeling out 
of it.  
	" My astral vision is gone!," Xellos suddenly 
said as his eyes flew open.
	" So is mine!," Deep Sea said in a panicked 
voice.
	" Relax, Deep Sea Dolphin-sama," a silky 
female voice said from behind everyone.  Everyone 
turned and saw a woman with pale, almost white 
skin, emerald green eyes, long, jet black, hair and in 
jet-black armor with red highlights, and a black 
cloak with red lining on the inside.  A huge sword 
was in her right hand, and it was glowing ruby red.
	" Changer!," Dynast said.
	" Right!," Changer grinned as she headed 
into the room.  When she passed Dukat, she 
paused and looked at him.  " Have I met you 
somewhere before?"
	" I was just about to ask you the same 
thing," Dukat said.  The two of them looked at 
each other for a moment more.
	" I have the oddest feeling of déjà vu," 
Changer muttered and ran her fingers along Dukat's 
cheek.  Then she turned to the others.  " You've 
lost your powers. . . L-Sama has decided that 
breaking into her rec. room was amusing enough, 
and that this would be your punishment.  We are all 
stuck here, including myself, until L-Sama finishes 
our new world. . . aren't we all just lucky, lucky 
people?"
	" Joy," Tallen sighed.
	" Look, how about we all introduce 
ourselves, and then, Luna, you can give that little 
speech of yours again," Kira said.  Luna laughed as 
introductions begun.

	After everyone was introduced, and Luna 
explained the Kumokasumi and Death Fog story so 
that the residents of DS9 could understand it, 
everyone that was in the brig got released.  Phibby 
gave Garak the twenty gold pieces for the dress, 
since she decided she still wanted it.
	" I think we should all go have a meeting 
with Captain Sisko and the other high ranking 
officers, don't you?," Odo asked.  " Just so we 
know what to expect."
	" We have no powers!  We can't do 
anything," Albatross snorted.
	" That isn't exactly true. . . I am skilled in 
hand to hand combat, and I still have my link with 
Shabranigdo-sama, and I think I can channel his 
power if I need to," Changer grinned.  Then she 
giggled.  " Man is he ever pissed at Death Fog. . . "
	" I bet," Gaav shook his head.
	" I'm going to go talk with Captain Sisko," 
Kira said.  " Luna, you know the layout of the 
station. . . I take it you can keep your friends in line 
until the meeting."
	" Of course, Nerys," Luna smiled.  " I'll see 
all of you later," Luna added to her friends from 
DS9.  Then she turned to the others from her 
world.  " Come on. . . I'll take you all to Quark's, 
and buy you a round of Blood Wine. . . that is some 
stuff you're never going to forget."
	" I like the name," Genie giggled as everyone 
followed Luna out.
	" Wait for me!," Quark yelled and 
scampered out after them.
	" Well, I'm off," Kira said.
	" I do have a shop of my own to attend 
too. . . you know where I am if you need me.  Good 
day, everyone," Garak said as he headed out.
	" Dukat. . . Ziyal, I take it you both have better 
things to do then hang around security?," Odo 
asked.
	" Yes, of course.  Come along, my dear," 
Dukat said as he led his daughter out of security 
and onto the Promenade.

In Quark's. . . 
	Changer sat at a table facing the Promenade 
by herself, thinking.
	" You okay, Changer-san?," Luna asked as 
she sat down across form her.
	" You said you've been here before, right?," 
Changer asked.
	" Yep, why?"
	" What do you know about that. . . what race 
was he. . . Cardassian I think?," Changer mumbled.
	" Dukat?," Luna asked.
	" Yes. . . what do you know about him?"
	" Well, the Cardassians used to be in charge 
of this station, and Dukat was the man in charge of 
this station.  The Cardassians has the Bajorans 
enslaved for almost sixty years, I think.  Ten years 
ago, when I was here, the Cardassian's were still in 
charge," Luna sighed.  " Dukat's reputation on 
Cardassia recently took a fall."
	" Why?," Changer asked.
	" Because of Ziyal. . . she's half Bajoran.  
That's almost like how Viv is. . . half of two worlds 
that shouldn't mix."
	" Don't let Viv hear you say that," Changer 
chuckled.  Luna saw her eyes get wide.  " I gotta 
go. . . "
	Before Luna could ask what Changer was up 
too, the Knight of Shabranigdo was gone.

About an hour later. . . 
	Sisko had gathered up his commanding 
officers and was waiting in one of the station's 
many briefing rooms for Kira to show up with her 
friends.  Doctor Julian Bashir, Jadzia Dax, Odo, 
Worf, Chief O'Brian and Sisko himself were all 
siting at the table.
	" We have a problem," Kira said as she 
walked in, a rather large group of people were with 
her.
	" And what's that, Major?," Sisko asked.
	" We're missing a. . . member of their group," 
Kira sighed.  " A woman named Changer 
Greywords.  She's kind of hard to miss."
	" Ah yes. . . she's the one with the ankle 
length jet black hair, green eyes, and pale skin 
that's almost white," Odo said.  " Not to mention 
the fact she has a giant sword that glows red and is 
in black armor with a cloak on."
	" She sounds like quite a character," Julian 
grinned.
	" You don't know the half of it," Phibrizio 
said, and an evil glint flashed in his eyes.  " How 
about we do introductions before we carry on?  I 
am Hellmaster Phibrizio, leader and most powerful 
of the Five Mazoku Lords.  These are my 
counterparts, the Chaos Dragon Gaav, Dynast 
Garusherra, Deep Sea Dolphin, and Beastmaster 
Zelas Metillium."
	" I take it you're the man in charge then?," 
Sisko asked.  Phibrizio nodded and glared at Luna, 
who decided to keep her mouth shut.  No use 
having him mad when he *did* get his powers 
back.
	" And who are the rest of you?," Dax asked.
" I am Hellprincess Phibby."
	" Hellprince PJ."
	" Genie."
	" Valterria."
	" Tallen."
	" Valgarv, General of Hellmaster Phibrizio."
	" Albatross, Priest of Deep Sea Dolphin."
	" Xellos the trickster priest, Priest and 
General of Beastmaster Zelas Metillium."
	" Kosha, the trickster priestess, General and 
Priestess of Beastmaster Zelas Metillium."
	" I'm Viv. . . Valgarv's little sister."
	" Lina Inverse, sorceress supreme!"
	" Gourry Gabrive."
	" Zelgadis."
	" I'm Luna Inverse, Lina's older sister."
	" As you already know, I am Captain 
Bejamin Sisko.  These are my commanding 
officers. . . you already know Major Kira, 
Commander Worf and the Constable."
	" Of course," Viv nodded with a smile.
	" I'm Jadzia Dax."
	" Julian Bashir."
	" Miles O'Brian."
	" Nice to meet all of you," Luna grinned.  " 
Terok Nor. . . I mean, Deep Space Nine, looks to be 
in good hands."
	" You were here when Dukat was still in 
charge of the station, weren't you?," O'Brian 
asked.
	" Yep," Luna grinned.  Everyone turned as 
the doors to the room opened, and Ziyal stepped 
in.
	" I'm sorry to interrupt, but is my father here 
by any chance?," she asked.
	" No. . . why?," Kira asked.
	" Well, he was supposed to meet me about 
thirty minutes ago, and didn't show up.  He usually 
lets me know if he's going to be late," Ziyal said.
	" Didn't Changer and Dukat recognize each 
other in the brig?," Worf asked.
	" Not really. . . they just felt like they'd seen 
each other before.  Changer has left our dimension 
before, but she's never been here," Luna said, " 
she would remember it if she had."
	" Mom was never one to forget a friend. . . or 
enemy for that matter," Kosha said.
	" Changer is your mother?," Dax asked. 
Kosha nodded.
	" My father is the same way," Ziyal sighed.  
" This isn't like him."
	" It's not like Changer to just go running off 
either," Phibrizio said.  " I've known her for a long 
time now."
	" Do you think they're together?," Valterria 
asked.
	" Why don't all of you sit down?  There's 
no reason for all of you to be crowded in the door 
like that," Julian said.  " You're making me 
nervous."
	Everyone who was standing sat down, 
including Ziyal.
	" So, what are we going to do about our two 
missing persons?," Viv asked.  A slit second later, 
the doors opened again, and Changer and Dukat 
walked in, arm in arm.
	" So then, Xellos kissed Kosha, and told 
Zelas-sama to kill him if that's what she wanted to 
do," Changer said.  Dukat laughed.
	" And?," he asked.
	" Zelas found the whole thing quite amusing 
and gave Xellos two months off," Changer said 
with a grin.  " Then she went back to Wolf Pack 
Island.  The rest of us cleaned up, and then 
everyone that hadn't been on the quest with us left.  
Things went rather smoothly till about the time 
Raya and Zela were around sixteen. . . then Vallos, 
Xelterria, Narse, Rezurla, and Lei Rezo all came 
back in time and the whole 'Aurizilus Saga' 
began."
	" You told him about the Book of Healing 
Fiasco!?," Lina yelled.
	Changer blinked at her.  " Yeah. . . "
	" Can we go burn that book?," Zel snorted.
	" Page by page?," Xellos added.
	" Come on you guys!  It wasn't that bad," 
Kosha sighed.  Changer, Lina, Gourry, Zel, Xellos 
and even Dukat gave her odd looks.  She sighed.  " 
Okay, maybe it was. . . but it was when I meet all of 
you!"
	" That, my love, is the only good thing that 
came out of the whole situation," Xellos shook his 
head.
	" Do you remember chunking me into the 
pool, Val-kun?," Zelas asked.  Valgarv sweat-
dropped.
	" I'm sure whatever all of you are talking 
about is of great importance, or at the least, 
amusing, but could we please get on to the matters 
at hand?," Sisko asked.  Changer and Dukat sat 
down.
	" Go for it," Changer smiled.
	" First of all, how long are all of you going 
to be here?," Sisko asked.
	" Till L-Sama finishes the new world. . . so 
about two to three weeks.  Give or take a few 
days," PJ grinned.
	" L-who?," Odo asked.
	" The Lord of Nightmares. . . L-Sama," Deep 
Sea Dolphin said.  " She is Darkness beyond 
blackness pitch, deeper then the deepest night.  She 
the King of Darkness who shines like gold upon the 
Sea of Chaos.  In short, she's God."
	" She created our world, and this one too.  
And right now, she's not to happy with us," 
Dynast added.
	" Um. . . not to happy with all of *you*.  She 
doesn't have any problem with me, I'm just the 
messenger girl. . . Shabranigdo-sama sent me since 
he didn't feel like coming himself, and he decided 
having Luna and Ceifeed in one place with both of 
them without powers was to tempting, and since 
the Lords were already here, I got to come."
	" Why would it matter if Luna and Ceifeed 
were here together?  What's tempting about that?," 
Julian asked.
	" It would be like shooting fish in a barrel!  If 
your worst enemy and the leader of his armies were 
in one spot, and there was nothing they could do to 
defend themselves, wouldn't you do everything 
within your power to blow them away?," Gaav 
asked.  " I know I would."
	" All of you are enemies?," Kira asked.
	" Yep.  It's my sister, Gourry, Zel, and me 
versus everyone else.  Except for Viv and 
Tallen. . . they try to stay neutral," Luna grinned.  " 
But were kind of in a peace right now since we just 
got out of a big war where tons of people died, and 
L-Sama got ticked at us. . . "
	" Were all just kind of going with the flow 
right now," Xellos grinned.  " Sort of an, 'I won't 
kill you if you don't kill me' arrangement."
	" And I personally hope it lasts," Changer 
said.  " I get tired of fighting Luna. . . she is my 
friend.  Its not like I walked up to Shabranigdo and 
begged to be his knight or anything.  It just 
happened."
	" I know what you mean," Luna snickered.
	" Alright then.  This peace or agreement, or 
whatever the hell you want to call it, is going to last 
for as long as your on my station," Sisko said.  
Changer smirked evilly, but it faded quickly.  Sisko 
continued.  " The second any one of you violate 
that, you're back in the brig, and with out these 
'powers' you all keep referring to, I doubt there is 
anything you can do to get out."
	" You'd be surprised, Sisko-sama," Changer 
said with a grin.  " Well, I have things to do, and 
Dukat to annoy, so, I will see all of you later," she 
giggled then she stood up, grabbed Dukat, and 
walked out.
	" Mom!," Kosha said.
	" Dad!," Ziyal said.  The two girls looked at 
each other.
	" Shall we go track them down together?," 
Kosha asked.
	" Why not?," Ziyal laughed then they ran off 
after Changer and Dukat.
	" I'm hungry!," Lina whined, and Gourry 
nodded.
	" Alright!  I'll take you two and get some 
food!  How does Klingon sound?," Luna sighed.
	" I don't care as long as it's food!  Come 
on, Gourry!," Lina yelled, grabbed her sister and 
Gourry and charged out the door.
	" Lina!," Zel yelled and ran off after her.
	" Perhaps I should go keep tabs on my wife 
and her new found friend. . . Ziyal was it?," Xellos 
said and walked out of the room.
	" Come on, Albatross. . . I want to go have a 
look about the Promenade," Deep Sea said and she 
and her priest left.  The other four Lords looked at 
each other and followed her.  Valgarv sighed.
	" I better go keep all of them out of trouble.  
Coming, Viv?," Val asked.
	" Ne, Oniichan, I think I'll stay here and chat 
with our new friends some."
	" What ever suits you, Imouto," Val smiled 
and walked off.
	" Are any of you. . . free right now?," Viv 
asked.
	" I am, actually," Julian smiled.  " How 
about I give you a tour of the station?"
	" Sure," Viv giggled and the two of them 
walked off.
	" Follow them?," PJ asked.
	" Follow them," Genie agreed and the two of 
them walked off.
	" BAKA!!!!," Phibby yelled and ran off after 
her little brother.
	" Fight?," Tallen asked.
	" Fight," Valterria agreed, " Stop them?"
	" Stop them," Tallen nodded and the two 
Dragons walked off.  Sisko sighed.
	" Well. . . things aren't boring anymore," Dax 
grinned.  Everyone started at her.  " What?"

	Genie, PJ, Phibby, Tallen and Valterria were 
all waking down the upper part of the Promenade, 
watching Julian tell Viv about different parts of the 
station.  Genie was beginning to get rather bored, 
and was watching people walk by bellow.  
Suddenly, she stopped when someone caught her 
eye.
	" What?," Valterria asked his best friend.
	" Look at that Cardassian down there!," she 
giggled and pointed to a male Cardassian that was 
headed towards Quark's.
	" What about him?," Valterria asked.
	" I think he's cute!," Genie giggled.  By this 
time, Tallen, PJ, and Phibby and joined Genie and 
Valterria.
	" He's nothing compared to Dynast-kun. . . ," 
Phibby sighed.
	" Well, I still think he's cute, and I'm going 
to go talk to him!  Forget following Viv around," 
Genie said and scrambled off.  The others ran after 
her.
	" I wonder where they're all off to?," 
Albatross asked from across the Promenade.  
	" Perhaps we should follow them. . . you 
know, just to make sure they don't get kicked into 
the brig," Zelas said.
	" They went into Qurak's.  There's a back 
entrance over here.  Let's go," Dynast said and 
lead the way.  Valgarv shook his head and saw his 
sister further down the Promenade.
	" Viv!  Wait up!," he yelled and ran off after 
his sister.

	Kosha, Ziyal and Xellos were not having any 
luck at all finding Changer and Dukat.
	" Where in L-Sama's name could they be?," 
Kosha sighed and sat down in the middle of a 
corridor on the habitat ring.
	" It's not that big of a station, Kosha," 
Xellos grinned down at his wife.  " They couldn't 
have gotten far."
	" Xellos is right, come on," Ziyal said.  " 
maybe they went back to my Father's quarters. . . "
Meanwhile, across the station. . . 
	" Wow. . . the wormhole is beautiful, isn't 
it?," Changer sighed as she watched a ship fly 
through the wormhole.
	" I think so. . . this is one of the best places to 
watch it," Dukat said.
	" I could sit up here all day!," Changer said, 
" After all, I have nothing better to do."

	Lina, Gourry, Zel and Luna were having a 
grand time in Qurak's.  Quark has taught them to 
play a game called 'Dabo' and Lina was winning 
tons and tons of gold pressed latinum.
	" This is fun!," Lina giggled.  Then she 
began to jump up and down when she won again.
	" She's supposed to be losing. . . ," Quark 
hissed under his breath.
	" Who is that, anyway?," Rom, Quark's 
younger brother asked.
" Her name is Lina Inverse, and she's 
Luna's younger sister. . . they're from another 
world, and I figured I could lend them some 
latinum and win it all back without any problems at 
all. . . but now she's nearly tripled what I gave her."
	" That's not to good for you, is it, Quark?," 
Odo grinned as he walked up.  
	" Don't you have someone to arrest or 
something?  Maybe you should be keeping your 
eye on those demon lords?  They can probably 
cause more mischief with a thought then I've 
caused my whole life. . . "
	" Don't look now, but here comes 
Damar. . . and those kids from the Luna's 
world. . . they one's that robbed Garak," Leeta, one 
of the Dabo girls said as she set a tray on the bar 
and began to put several drinks on it.
	" Great. . . Mr. Sunshine himself," Quark 
sighed.
	" Um. . . I've got some replicators to fix," 
Rom said and ran off.
	" And I have to get these drinks to Lina and 
company," Leeta said and bolted.
	" I suppose you're going to abandon me 
too?," Quark asked Odo.
	" I'm in no mood to deal with Damar. . . and 
Valgarv just walked by after his sister and the 
doctor. . . he's got quite a temper, so I think I'll 
make sure he stays out of trouble."  With that, Odo 
left.
	" What did you do to get a fan club?," 
Quark asked as Damar sat down.
	" What are you talking about, Ferangi?," 
Damar asked.
	" Well, I assume Dukat has told you about 
some people form another world being on the 
station?"
	" What of if?"
	" You've got five of them following you 
around.  Two of them are princesses, one of them 
in a prince, another one is a leader of a race of 
dragons, and the other is the last of his race.  
They're all best friends too," Quark said.
	" Lucky me," Damar rolled his eyes.  " Just 
get me a drink."
	" Sure. . . here comes one of them now. . . I 
think her name is Genie," Quark said as he walked 
off.  Damar turned just in time to see a rather tall 
red headed 'human' female sit down beside him.
	" Hi. . . ," she grinned.

	The Five Mazoku Lords and Albatross had 
every intention of going down stairs to see what 
Phibby, PJ, Tallen, Valterria, and Genie had found 
so interesting. . . but then they had found something 
else that intrigued them even more.  Dax and Worf 
had come out of a room with rather impressive 
weapons in their hands, and when asked, they said 
they were in the holo-suite.  After more 
questioning, Dax told them how to run it and told 
them she'd tell Quark they were in there, and to let 
them use it.
	" Well, lets give this thing a try, ne?," 
Phibrizio asked as he and the others stood in the 
room.
	" Why not. . . ," Dynast shrugged.  " 
Computer. . . generate a forest."  Suddenly, they 
were in a forest complete with birds chirping and a 
slight breeze.
	" Ooooooooo. . . .," they all sighed and 
continued to make requests of the computer.

	Genie had been chatting with Damar for 
about five minutes when Worf and Dax came down 
the stairs.  PJ's eyes got wide and he was 
practically drooling as he stared at a huge sword 
like weapon in Worf's hands.
	" Look at that," he sighed and pointed.
	" You and your weapons. . . ," Tallen shook 
his head.
	" I'm going to find out what it is. . . maybe I 
can get one," PJ said.
	" PJ!," Phibby hissed and made a grab for 
her brother.  " We're not supposed to cause any 
trouble, remember?  If we had our powers, I 
wouldn't care, but we don't.  Has it occurred to 
any of you that we could die if we got hurt?"
	" No," Tallen shook his head.  Valterria was 
to busy making sure Genie didn't get mad at this 
Cardassian and kill him, or that he didn't try 
anything 'funny' to pay attention to the others.
	" I'll be okay. . . I am adult, weather I look it 
our not, remember?," PJ rolled his eyes and headed 
for Worf.
	" We are so dead," Tallen said and took a 
sip of water as he heard Lina yelled 'Dabo' again 
and Quark sigh miserably from the bar.  Phibby 
sighed and began trying to get Valterria's attention.

	" So your father is one of the most powerful 
beings on your world?," Damar asked Genie.
	" Yep," she grinned.  " He's the second 
most powerful of the five Mazoku Lords."
	" What's his name?"
	" Oh, he's the Chaos Dragon-," Genie 
started, but a huge crash cut her off.  Both she and 
Damar whirled around to see PJ holding a sword of 
some kind and backing away from Worf.
	" That idiot. . . he stole the Klingon's 
Bat'leth," Damar shook his head.
	" What?," Genie asked.
	" It's a Kingon honor blade. . . Worf is going 
to kill him," Damar said.  " Isn't that one of your 
friends?"
	" Yeah. . . he's Hellprince PJ," Genie nodded.  
It was about this time that Worf lunged for PJ who 
managed to dodge. . . and came running towards the 
bar.
	" GENIE!!!!  HELP!!!!," PJ yelled.
	Genie looked blank for a second, then 
smiled as she drew her own sword from its sheath 
on her back.
	" Genie!!!," Valterria roared as he Tallen, 
and Phibby ran up.  " Don't!"
	" Valterria's right," Tallen said.  " We can't 
kill him. . . "
	Genie growled, but put her blade away.  
Then she turned to Damar, " Do you know of a 
place we could hide until Worf calms down?"
	" This way," Damar said and ran out of 
Quarks.  The others followed him. . . and were 
followed by Worf and Dax as well.  
	Lina, Luna, Zel and Gourry looked up.
	" Come on," Luna sighed.  " We have to go 
find Odo."  Ten minutes later, after Lina had 
stashed all her winnings away, the four of them left, 
and Quark sobbed over his losses.

Soon. . . 
	Kira had run into Dukat and Changer who 
were on their way back to the Promenade, and the 
three of them were heading towards Quarks when 
PJ came running by, screaming at the top of his 
lungs and holding the Bat'leth over his head.
	" PJ!?," Changer blinked.  A split second 
later, Damar, Genie, Tallen, Valterria, and Phibby 
came charging by.
	" Turn right!," Damar yelled and the six of 
them pilled into a turbo lift.
	" What was that all about?," Kira asked.
	" Who was the Cardassian?," Changer 
asked.
	" That was Damar. . . my second in 
command," Dukat said.
	" Which way did they go?," Worf asked as 
he came barreling up.
	" They went into the turbo lift," Kira said, 
and before she could say anything more, Worf ran 
off towards the nearest turbo lift, and Dax ran after 
him without even stopping.
	" Will someone please tell me what is going 
on!?," Changer yelled.
	" PJ stole Worf's Bat'leth, Worf is going to 
kill PJ. . . for some reason, Damar agreed to help 
Genie, Tallen, Valterria, and Phibby hide PJ.  Dax 
is following him with the intent to calm him 
down. . . I think.  We're going to try and save the six 
bakas who are running from Worf," Luna said as 
she ran by with Lina, Gourry and Zel.
	" Thanks Luna-san!," Changer called and 
waved after her.  " Come on," she said and 
grabbed Dukat's hand and started dragging him 
down the hall.  Kira just shook her head, sighed, 
and continued on her way.

Soon. . . 
	" How long do we have to stay here?," PJ 
whined.
	" Until Worf calms down enough for you to 
give him back the Bat'leth without killing you!," 
Damar hissed.  Suddenly, Dukat's voice rang out.
	" Dukat to Damar."
	" Damar here," the Cardassian said and 
tapped a badge on his chest.
	" Are PJ and his friends with you?"
	" Yes."
	" Could you-," Dukat started, but very angry 
female voice cut him off.
	" Where in L-Sama's name are all of you?!  
Get your butts back up to Ops before I get really 
mad and show you what Shabranigdo-sama's 
powers are really like!"
	" Changer-san?," Tallen started.
	" Oh, don't even try and smooth things 
over, Goldie!  I want all six of you, that includes 
you, Damar, at Ops and in Captain Sisko's office 
in five minutes, or you're going to get fried!  Is that 
understood?"
	" Hai, Changer-sama!," PJ, Phibby, Genie, 
Valterria and Tallen all said.
	" Damar?," Changer hissed.
	" Yes, Changer," he said, then added, " 
sama. . . " after getting urgent looks from the others.
	" Good. Okay Dukat-kun, you can talk 
now."
	" Just get up here. . . Dukat out," the 
Cardassian commander sighed.
	" Let's go," Damar said and began leading 
the way towards Ops.

Soon. . . 
	When everyone finally got to Ops, Kira, 
Sisko, Odo, Changer, Dukat, Xellos, Ziyal, Kosha, 
Viv, Valgarv, Dr. Bashir, Zel, Gourry, Worf, Dax, 
Luna, and Lina were all already there.  PJ gulped 
and smiled sheepishly at Worf as the Klingon 
glared at him.
	" Gomen. . . ," PJ stammered and handed him 
the Bat'leth.  Phibby hit her brother over the head.
	" Baka!  That'll show you not to steal things 
when you don't have your powers!"
	" Hey!  Under normal circumstances, there 
wouldn't have been a problem!  And at least I'm 
not running around looking like an adult!  Just 
because your precious Dynast-sama likes this form 
better then your real one isn't a reason for you to 
go parading around in it all the time!," PJ snapped.
	Phibby's mouth opened and closed a few 
times, but she didn't do anything.
	" Speaking of Dynast, has anyone seen the 
Lords since the meeting?," Changer asked.
	" Albatross-kun is gone too," Kosha said.
	" The last I saw of them they were going into 
Quarks to see why Genie was practically charging 
in there with the rest of her group in tow," Valgarv 
said.  " But that was almost twenty minutes before 
PJ stole the Bat'leth. . . "
	" Oh!  Daddy was following me again!," 
Genie hissed.
	" You're only thirty-six, Genie," Phibby 
said.
	" Only?," Kira said with a raised eyebrow.
	" Sheesh. . . Changer is over a thousand years 
old, the Lords have practically been around since 
time began on our world, Xellos is almost two 
thousand, and Kosha is around five hundred and 
something.  Thirty six isn't that big of a deal. . . ," PJ 
snorted.
	" Says the thirty one year old," Valterria 
smirked.
	" Oh, shut up," PJ rolled his eyes.
	" Anyway, where are the Lords and 
Albatross?," Luna sighed.
	" We saw them when we were coming out of 
the holo-suite," Dax said.  " They went in after us."
	" Holo-what?," Viv asked.  As Dukat 
opened his mouth to explain, Quark came charging 
in with the Lords and Albatross.
	" These six have spent over two hours in my 
holo-suits, and have nothing to pay me with!," 
Quark yelled.
	" Oh get over it. . .  we told you once we got 
our powers back we'd make you immortal didn't 
we?," Zelas said as she began to chug some type 
of drink from a bottle she had.
	" And then Zelas took my best bottle of 
Kenar!," Quark protested.
	" It's good!  And I know alcohol!," Zelas 
said.
	" No shit Zelas," Gaav snorted as he came 
into the room.  " Genie, you didn't kill anyone 
while PJ was stole that Bat thingamajig, did you?"
	" No, Daddy," Genie shook her head.
	" Good," Dynast said before Gaav could 
utter another word.
	" Ano. . . ," Gourry said.
	" What?," Luna asked him.
	" I'm hungry," Gourry said, and Lina 
proceeded to beat him.
	" You're always hungry jellyfish for brains!," 
the little sorceress yelled as she twisted Gourry into 
a pretzel.
	" Shouldn't you stop them?," Julian asked.
	" No. . . they always do this," Zelgadis sighed.
	" I am kind of hungry myself," Changer said.
	" I'm not," Phibrizio said.
	" You're never hungry, Hellbrat!," Lina 
sighed.
	" Yeah, unlike some people, the rest of us 
can't survive off negative emotions and pain," Luna 
said.
	" I swear. . . you Humans and Dragons. . . ," 
Dynast shook his head," You're always 
complaining about something. . . and I'm sure 
Cardassians, Bajorans, and Ferangi are the same 
way too."
	" They're always worried about dying," 
Phibrizio said.
	" Again, unlike you Lords, we don't have 
forever to live, and when we do die, we don't have 
the luxury of being able to sit around in the Astral 
Plane for a few centuries or so them being 
reborn!," Changer snapped.  " Did I mention I'm 
hungry?"
	" I have an idea. . . why don't all of us have 
diner together in say, a half-hour?," Dax asked.  " 
You can explain what you mean by living off 
negative emotions, and all the other things you've 
said about Mazoku to the rest of us, and then we 
can tell you some things about our world."
	" Sounds good to me," Luna said.  " Where 
should we meet?"

A half an hour later. . . 
	Everyone had gathered in one of the stations 
larger meeting rooms, and having a rather good 
time.  PJ and Worf had gotten into a discussion 
about weapons.  Julian was telling Tallen about 
how he used his 'powers' as a doctor to cure 
people and in turn, Tallen was telling him about 
being a healer in his world.  Ziyal and Kosha were 
discussing art.  Garak and Xellos were telling each 
other about their lives as a 'simple tailor' and a 
'simple priest'.  Various other conversations were 
taking place, and Genie was flirting with 
Damar. . . Gaav, on the other hand, was coming up 
with ways to kill Damar, and had come up with 
over five hundred when Zelas interrupted his train 
of thought.
	" Will you get over it!  So Genie has a crush 
on Damar!  Big deal. . . Quark tells me he's, and I 
quote, 'a cold, heartless, murdering bastard'.  
What more could you hope for in a son in law?," 
the Beastmaster asked.  Gaav growled in response.  
Zelas sighed.  " I give up. . . "
	Across the table, Genie was trying to get the 
nerve out to ask Damar out on a date.  PJ had 
dared her to do it, and then Phibby had started 
bugging her about it too. . . and now that she had 
excepted the dare, Genie wasn't going to back 
down.  From down and across the table, PJ 
grinned evilly at her.
	Genie cursed under her breath in Mazoku.
	" What?," Damar asked her.
	" Nothing. . . " she sighed.  " Just 
contemplating how one second someone is your 
friend, and the next second nothing would make 
you happier then to see that person's head on a 
pike."
	" I think I know what you mean," Damar 
said.
	" Really?  Then could you excuse me while I 
go put PJ's head on a pike?," Genie asked.  Damar 
actually smiled at her.
	" Have at it."
	" One more thing before I go, do you think 
we could go out to diner tomorrow night. . . you 
know. . . on a date?"
	Damar started at her, then said, " Genie, you 
are impulsive, violent, reckless, and nothing like a 
woman I would ever see myself going out with."
	Genie made a noise that sounded like a cross 
between a growl and a whimper, and was about to 
slam her plate into Damar's face then decapitate 
him.
	" But. . . I'd like to go out with you anyway, 
so put the plate down," Damar finished.  Genie 
smiled.
	" I'm going to kill him. . . slowly," Gaav 
vowed from across the table.  Zelas just sighed and 
shook her head.  That's when a gold flash of light 
filled the room and a woman with long blonde hair 
holding a shovel appeared by the door.
	" You're not killing anyone, Gaav," she said.
" L-Sama!," everyone that didn't belong in the 
universe they were in yelled.
	L-Sama smiled, " I finished the world 
early. . . time to go and settle in."
	" But-," Genie began as L-Sama opened a 
portal.
	" No buts!  Everyone else who decided to 
go is already there."
Changer glanced at Dukat as she stood up, " Is-"
	" Zone's Ruin has been taken to the new 
world!  You can come and visit a few times if you 
want," L-Sama grinned.  " Now lets get going!  I 
still have to split Shabrangido into seven pieces and 
put him in seven different places!"
	" I guess we'll have to go on our date next 
time I come though, Damar," Genie said as she 
stood up.  The rest of her group did as well.
	" PJ," Worf said and tossed the Mazoku 
prince a Bat'leth.  " Take it."
	" Thanks," PJ grinned.  Then he, Phibby, 
Genie, Valterria and Tallen stepped through the 
portal.
	" Bye Ziyal-chan. . . see you tomorrow," 
Kosha winked.
	" Hai. . . tomorrow," Xellos smiled.
	" What do you mean?," Ziyal asked.
	" Sore wa. . . ," Kosha said.
	" Himitsu desu!," Xellos finished as the two 
of them vanished.
	" Fruitcake!," Lina hissed and dragged 
Gourry and Zel through the portal.  " I can't wait to 
get my magic back!"
	" Raya's probably worried sick.," Valgarv 
shook his head and he headed through the portal.
	" Oniisan, wait up!," Viv yelled.  " Bye 
everyone!"
	Albatross shook his head and headed in after 
her.
	" Well, I have an island of wolves to look 
after. . . not to mention Xel-kun and Kosha-chan," 
Zelas said as she left.
	" Hell is not going to run itself," Phibrizio 
grinned.
	" That and the fact that Viv is gone," Gaav 
snickered.  " I'm going to get an ear full from 
Xelterria. . . "
	" The North Pole. . . nice below freezing 
temperatures," Dynast said.
	" I miss being under water," Deep Sea 
muttered.
	" Well. . . I guess I'll see you all when I see 
you," Luna said and gave all of her friends hugs.  
Then she walked over to Sisko.  " You be 
careful. . . Kumokasumi would be mad if you went 
off and got yourself killed."  With that, Luna was 
gone.
	" Rezo is going to kill me if he finds out 
about this. . . ," Changer muttered then, with a shrug, 
she leaned down and kissed Dukat on the lips.  " 
See you around, Dukat-kun." She said with a giggle 
as she headed off through the portal.
	" She's right. . . isn't she. . . about seeing her 
around?," Dax asked L-Sama.
	L-Sama smiled.  " Perhaps. . . I see several 
possible futures for both this world and theirs. . . in 
some, you all cross paths again. . . in others. . . well, it 
wouldn't be any fun if I told you everything now, 
would it?"
	With that one last comment, the Lord of 
Nightmares vanished, leaving the command crew of 
Deep Space Nine and their 'friends' to ponder the 
future.

	L-Sama grinned to herself.  They were all 
just getting to the new world.
	" The aftermath of this war is just 
beginning. . . ," she smirked.
The end. . . for now.
