*the gang startled, fearful as a maniacal laughter fills their room*
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Panel 2
*image of Mayavale appears*
Mayavale: Well, that was the last of my daily 3-Hour laugh. "Get off this planet"? For shame, old friends... is this any way to treat a loved one? IS it? I suppose it IS the way sub-scum such as yourselves treat a loved one, though...
Panel 3
Taryn: "Loved one"? Are you insane? None of us know you!!
Mayavale: Are you QUITE certain of that, Taffy?
Tenzil: "Taffy"? *chuckle!*
Panel 4
Mayavale: And to answer your question... Yes. Yes, I am quite insane. Have been ever since the knowledge of all my previous and future lifetimes flooded into my brain. Insane. But correct. Everything I tell you, everything I revealed or will reveal is the truth. Awful, maybe, but the truth often is.
Tenzil: Hoo-kay. I think we'll be moseying along now. Questar?
Panel 5
Questar: Yes?
Tenzil: Time to do a little emergency 'porting. Even Sexat would be fine right now.
Panel 6
Lester: NO! We can't leave... my ass! My fat ass! He said he can fix it...!
Panel 7
Mayavale: Questar, eh? Aah, yes. Reges Questar! Although I knew you by another name...
Tenzil: We've GOT to get out of here! That Doctor is off his space-rocker!
Taryn: Agreed.
Tiffany: I tried to warn you all! But did anyone believe me?
Panel 2
Lester: Bah! I'll never believe you have powers.
Tiffany: Well, I think it's fairly obvious that I do.
Panel 3
Plant Lad: Who the sprock CARES who's got powers? We've gotta get OUTTA here! He's... he's powerful, man... and powerful crazy, too!
Tiffany: What did he do to you, Noyd?
Panel 4
Plant Lad: I... I'll never say.
Lester: Use your vaunted psychic powers and find out, sis!
Tiffany: Shut UP, Lester, or I'll have Westerner punch you again.
Panel 5
Westerner: SHUT UP, the lotta ya! That 4-handed, no-feeted fella is missing... ol' yella-haired Questar is missing... looks like that wacky hippie-physician is tryin' to pick us off like the 10 li'l Indians of space.

Panel 1
Mayavale: Do you remember, Nik Maroka? Do you remember Cyrus "Bulldog" Hogart? I could have been heavyweight champion of the world with any other manager.
Panel 2
Mayavale: But your mob bosses decided I should throw the fight against the champ. When I refused, you and your thugs left me for dead in the alleyway. But I wasn't dead.
Panel 3
Mayavale: Injured as I was, I made it to the fight. And I was giving the champ the tussle of his life.
Panel 4
Mayavale: Until an assassin's bullet rang out from the stands, ending my quest for the championship as it ended my life. That assassin was in YOUR pay.
Panel 5
Mayavale: Return to your friend, Nik, now that you know why you are doomed!
Panel 6
*Questar reappears in the room with the rest of the gang*

ISSUE #17
*Big splash panel similar to the big splash panel on the last page of last issue!"
Caption: Ever since the introduction of Questar, one of the most vocal fans of MATTER-EATER LAD: THE SERIES has been calling for his demise! And when last we saw Reges, he was in a perilous situation indeed! His friends, apparently possessed by the evil lunatic hippy guru Doctor Mayavale, were bent on sacrificing Questar in a bizarre cosmic enlightenment ritual! Will Questar be able to escape? Will he able to help his friends? Where the heck did Opposable Big Toes Boy get off to anyway? Well, gentle reader, turn the page and discover for yourself in "Chance of a Lifetime!"

*Doc M appears as gang approaches Questar menacingly*
Mayavale: Excellent! I see my special drugged vxxniarade has had its desired effect! They are all in my power, Nik, and your super-abilities in this lifetime have been all but negated. Soon I shall employ the beauty of karmic riposte! HAHAHAHAHAHAHHA!
Questar: That isn't good, is it?
Mayavale: Not for you.
Panel 2
*Questar is surrounded by the gang*
Questar: >Gulp!<
Panel 3
Mayavale: TAKE him! Follow me... to the CHAMBER OF LIVES!!
Panel 4
Questar: Chamber of Lives...? It doesn't sound so bad.
Mayavale: It is in the Chamber of Lives that I became what I am now.
Panel 5
Questar: Oh. Great.
Mayavale: And it is there, today, that I shall begin step one of MY ASCENTION!

Panel 1
Mayavale: You, Nik, must be very excited! Your blood shall be collected and then thrown into the fiery pits of Jolgoth from whence the wheeling mists of the Chamber of Lives emerge! As the blood of mine enemies merges with the sacred vapors, it shall form a special compound which, when inhaled by the chosen saviour of the cosmos, namely myself, shall begat massive changes in my physical form! The last remnants of my human shell shall be discarded like that of a molting insect! And, indeed, I shall be leaving the world of you mere mortal insects behind to traverse on a more cosmic plane! Be glad, my dear Reges, for you shall be first to be sacrificed in the great Avatandan ritual of K'revvenna!
Panel 2
Questar: Because I'm your greatest enemy?
Mayavale: NO! That would be Tenzil here! And that is why he shall be sacrificed last! I'm just using you to practice the ritual! Hmm... I wonder which of your friends will make the fatal stab when the time comes?
Panel 3
Questar: *gulp*!
Questar thoughts: Must... not... give... up! How can I distract him? Hmm... that just might work!
Panel 4
Questar: I, Questar, do feel that it is a great honor to be your first sacrifice, but I was wondering if you could fulfill a last request? I'd really like to hear some more about how all of us betrayed or killed you in our past lives! What did, for instance, Taryn here do to you?
Mayavale: Ah, Taffy! Well, that's an interesting story...

Panel 1
*Mists begin to swirl again*
Mayavale: In another lifetime, another reality even, Tenzil here was known as Nura Nal, beautiful siren of Naltar!
Panel 2
Mayavale: In this universe, I had gained a great deal of spiritual awareness, much as in this world! And I had realized, as I do now, that I must kill those who betrayed me in order to achieve my ascension!
Panel 3
Mayavale: I captured Nura and two of her comrades in their Legion of Super-Heroes while they were on a deep space mission!
Panel 4
Mayavale: I had believed her comrades were disposed of, and was preparing to sacrifice the beautiful Nura in the rite of K'revvenna...
Panel 5
Mayavale: When her two friends suddenly interrupted the ceremony! A minor annoyance, for I quickly imprisoned them in my cellular disrupter beams...
Panel 6
Mayavale: But seeing her friends in pain sparked something deep within Nura that I had not expected...
Panel 7
Mayavale: ...and she exploded furiously, striking me with mighty blows!
Panel 8
Mayavale: Even in this lifetime, my shins still bother me from the thrashing I took from Nura! Tenzil, oh beautiful Tenzil! You must suffer for the pain you inflicted...
Panel 9
Tenzil: I... must... suffer... for... wait... a... minute... Jumpin' fishhooks! Didn't I date Nura? How can I be her?
