Returning Home [1]

No sooner than she had spoken, the water in the tank solidified into ice. "Wynn, get on the other side. We're all going to need to help carry her. Mom's got a fat a**."

"You know she's going to kill you when she turns back to normal?" Creighton asked as he broke away the edges of the tank.

"Why do you think I said she had a fat a** right now?" Shalimar asked as she, Wynn, and Creighton lifted the ice block. "She can't do anything right now and I'll have more room to run when she turns back."

"It's her funeral, Creighton," Wynn replied. Shifting, she added, "Though she is right. Dragon does have a fat a**."

Chuckling, Shalimar created a portal to bring them back to Rose's kingdom.

When Simba, Kovu, Timon, and Pumbaa left Flan swore. She wouldn't be able to see as well as needed for what she had planned. < Dai, stare down at Xangord and only move when I tell you to. >

"Alright," Dai replied, doing as directed.

As Flan began to gather her power to condense Xangord's smoke cloud into a portable ball, two sets of eyes "appeared" within her viewing range. It was through these eyes that Flan was able to completely condense Xangord's smoke cloud into a ball the approximately the size of a medium sized beach ball.

One of the lions that had appeared [2] chuckled.

"Xigbar." Se'rox muttered, and then told the others; "We have company."

< Well obviously, Mole, > Flan replied. To the two lions, she said, < Want somethin', Furfaces? >

"Here we thought we'd just have to make due with the Gray Leviathan," the one that Se'Rox had called Xigbar. "But we got a bonus, Xaldin. We now have the Blind Maverick."

"I thought she was dead," Xaldin said. "I wonder what other traitors we would find if we kept the Gray Leviathan."

"Don't know, but I now wish I had nabbed her brat," Xigbar replied.

"Flan, can I look up please?" Dai asked.

< I'm done, so go ahead, > Flan replied. To the lions, she said, < I'll ask again, Furfaces. What do y'want? >

"We'll take back the Gray Levithan--and the Blind Maverick as well," Xaldin replied. "You and the female lion can leave alive."

< Then there's a problem, Hippy, > Flan said, standing straighter on Se'Rox's back. < The Mole's with me and so is Xangord. I'd like to see you and Scarboy attempt to get past me. >

Snarling, the two lions summoned their individual weapons and attempted to attack. However Xigbar's bullets and Xaldin's lances were deflected by Flan's shields. Repositioning themselves, they tried again--only to be repelled again. Infuriated, Xigbar and Xaldin were about to attack again when Flan lashed out with her powers and sent the two sprawling in the dirt and elephant bones.

< I can keep this up all day, boyos, > Flan said. < Care to try yer luck? >

Frustrated and embarrassed, Xaldin and Xigbar scrambled to their feet. After giving Flan and Dai dirty looks, they said to Se'Rox, "We'll be waiting, Blind Maverick."

Creating their own portal, the two left.

"Well that was fun," Dai said. "So can we go home now?"

< You okay Mole? > Flan asked Se'Rox. There was something different in the way she said Mole.

As soon as n** had left his quarters, Broden counted to 42 before he got up and followed her to the transporting room. Keeping just out of sight, Broden waited until n** and the others transported before counting to 42 again and entering the transport room. To the engineer he said, "Transport me to wherever they went."

"I'm sorry sir, I can't--"

Broden grabbed the poor kid by the front of his shirt, lifted him out of his chair, and slammed him against a wall. His eyes slitted dangerously and his skin began to transform into glossy black scales. "You what?"

"I-I can't just yet, sir," the engineer amended nervously. "The transporter needs a moment to reset--and hey, it's reset! If you'd just set me down and step on the pad, I'll send you right over, sir!"

Setting the engineer down, Broden walked over to the transporting pad. A second later when his molecules were reassembled on the ship that n** and the others had been transported to, he immediately saw that Taran was tending to n** and Rose was tending to--

"What are you doing here?" Broden asked Annamarie. "I thought you--" seeing seven men (one with a hair color for every shade of the rainbow) rush in with weapons, Broden crushed them with a gravity field heavy enough to turn their bodies into paste, "--were after Magistrate."

"Yeh've got to teach me that one, Froden," [3] Annamarie said. "Anyway, I was but yer crazy a** sister decided to arrest me with the help of those pancakes yeh just made. So, as a 'pissoff" t'her, I sliced off the top of 'er head."

"You...what?" Broden asked, sagging against a wall. Annamarie pointed at the remains of Other Nogard's body. With the way it was laying, Broden could clearly see the fluffy bunny tail in place of where a dragon tail normally would be. "That's not my sister. ... Of this dimension anyway. Though with killing that one, you made the others stronger."

"Meh," Annamarie said. "She pissed me off." To Rose, she said, "Look, Pixie, I know you're helpin' and all--but you seem to be getting a mite friendly there. You owe me a dinner and a smoke for as far 'round the bases yer gettin."

"There's someone I want you to meet," Broden said. "I think you'll like her."
