<shakes his head at Ranger> Perhaps you're not the man I thought you were, Ranger--the one man on Legion World who would make the tough choices to insure that our home is protected!

<points at Ranger>

Very well--the carnage to come is on YOUR shoulders!

<aside>...unless I take matters into my OWN hands... <eyes Lardy>

<Allows Cobalt and Concord to enter the energy bubble>

The Scruffy Guy's name is Gary Concord... He's a jerk but he's on our side, most of the time...

<Hugs Cobalt & gives him a quick kiss on the cheek>

I knew you'd turn up in all this... You've been keeping an eye on Brit, I hope?

<Turns to Concord without giving Cobalt a chance to answer and extends her hand...>

Mr... Concord, I'd like to thank you for your help...

<Takes Pagan's hand and gives her a slight bow.>

Well it's easy to see that Abin married up...

Now how do we shut the doors?

Both eyes on Brit! <notices Abin> Er, not that way Abin...aw hell, its good to see you Pagan! And you too Stoopid. Even you Abin haven't looked this well in a long time.

<smiles>

At last, the House of Quank reunited. What's the plan, PL? What does it take to get your hot self (and Stoopid Cat's mangy self) back on Legion World?

Concord and I will even work together this time...

Blackout looks closely at his old ally.
Yellow frowns up at his old PCG ally.

The grey and black costumed Oversight Watch Commander shakes his head, "Something else else's wrong with this, I don't belong here. I can't possibly be your double."

"Weird huh? I don't know how either but with you we get an extra guy on our side." Yellow smiles at Bo and extends a hand.

As YK rises he summons his power and leaps into the air on a whirlwind. Blackout smiles and sprouts wings, he takes to the air with a leap.
"I've picked up a few new tricks on Starhaven."


"Oooo..like the wings."

They fly behind Cobalt Kid and the others toward the energy bubble. Blackout continues, "Billy, I'm not sure of this but.." he hesitates.

"What? I still don't understand why I didn't have to fight a doppleganger like the others."

Blackout, the hero of the Starhaven/Robotica battle answers YK's question, "Don't you get it? You don't have one or if you do he's exactly LIKE you, a part-time superhero, idealogically neutral. I'm your polar opposite, a disciplined military professional."

"Yeah. OK I can see we'll have to argue about this over a bottle of tequila sometime."

"Not this time Yellow. You see..I'm not real. This place didn't come up with a doppleganger so it made me. I don't like that and I'm going to do something about it."

"What do you mean?"

"Let's see what the others know first."

<Eyes Concord Warily.>

I'm already back Cobie. All I have to do now is walk out into Legion World, but I'm not the problem, My Wee Fem is...

She's not real, yet.

I cast a spell to upgrade her from Gencar to Alt. It should have created a new identity for her, but instead ---because I was trapped in Slim's Time Cube--- something went wrong and she took my place on LW. I couldn't return without obliterating her very existence, she wouldn't go back to being a GenCar, she'd just cease to exist. I couldn't do that.

But with both of us in here I've found a temporary solution... She's become Brit's third demon. That will keep her alive until I find a way to restore her.

Okay that's all fine then...

Now! How do we shut that door and seal this place off from Legion World, Forever?

First you give me STU's book of Magic...

What makes you think...

<Reaches into his tunic and pulls out the book>

...that I even have it?

<Looks down at the book in his hand and then back up at Pagan with an incredulous expression on his face.>

How?

Mr Concord... Any attempt you might have made to master even the simplest of the spells in this book would have resulted in your death.

<Holds out her left hand palm up, and the book jumps from Concord's grasp into her waiting palm...>

Rockhopper Lad didn't cast the spell that both opened the door and captured My Wee Fem's essence in demonic form... I did.

But Rocky and Triple G powered the spell... an act of selfless courage that leaves me deeply in their debt.

I shall shut the door when all members of the rescue party are on the other side...

But first we must find the Daywalker... and ensure that his evil doesn't escape into Legion World.

Oh Concord

Who knows how Pagan knows anything? The fact that she does is part of her charm.

But the time for reunions has passed; Stoopid Cat is getting ansy. This 'Daywalker'...he must be the Traveler, or Justin Thyme, or the Second Shooter. We've given him several names these last few months, but no one seems to know who he is.

Until now. I think I may have figured it out, given where he's been and who likely put him here. We need to find him if he's here.

And we need to shut the Zone, and quickly.

<storms up to Cobalt>

Fool! This evil you speak of has probably already escaped--and this psuedo-Lard Lad you've adopted has been his collaborator! I've seen it in one of my flashes!

<grabs Cobalt by the collar>

Damn, stupid fool! How could you have trusted him when everything about him screamed he was an imposter!!! You know me better than that!!!!

I'm sorry "friend". But I don't know you at all.

<pushes off LLPrime's hands from collar>

My spiritual senses tell me that. I don't know who you are...but its familiar to me.

<stares at him>

You might be...as dangerous as the Daywalker himself...

I'm dangerous?!?! I've done nothing but save lives and help out the Security Office since I came back!!! While he <points to dazed Lardy> has done absolutely NOTHING but sow discord and divide the LMB since he showed up claiming to be me!!! Look what he's done to you and Space Ranger, damnit! Hell, you were the very personification of the Office before I died, and now you're facing charges for helping the man who murdered my son!!!

Tell me how the hell that scenario makes any ****ing sense, "friend"!!!

---Interlude---

How did LLP get inside my energy bubble?


---End Interlude---

--Interlude---

Er...Lard Force? Or you let him in off-post?



--End Interlude--

---Interlude---

Reading is FUNdamental...



---End Interlude---

<Creates an energy barrier between LLP and CK. LardLad, LLP, and the Space Ranger were scooped up as Abin's bubble went over them>

Friend of your's Cobie?

He doesn't seem to be much of a team player to me...

No, he's not much of a team player and he seems to lack any sense of honor...

But at least he's not a mass murderer like his doppelganger over there.


Truth and Justice shall Prevail!
(Or at least not that I know of...)

Yeah, butt out, Quank! You were never too happy when I returned to the LMB before the invasion. The void my absence left here sure elevated your position on the nascient Legion World, didn't it? But since I returned, well...jealousy's a green-eyed monster, is it not?

<brustles>

Feh. Didn't shed a solitary tear over you when you were destroyed along with the rest of Leg-- <pauses> huh? That didn't happen! Or...hasn't happened yet? <eyes become haunted and he grows quiet, contemplating the random...vision? memory?...he just had>

<Ignores LLP's outburst, but looks at him with sheer disdain>

Gentlemen...

I suggest you shelve all questions and rivalries until we get past that...

<Points to the area around the door which is now jam-packed with monstrous doppelgangers. At the doorway are Rockhopper Lad, Sir Roy and Triple G. They are fighting furiously but being slowly forced backwards...>

The Daywalker can seal the door from this side...

He may try to trap us in here if we don't act quickly...

<standing outside the energy bubble>

well, this is a revolting turn of events ...

Abin Dear... Let SharkLad in, would you please?

Nobody, No One, Go guide Brit and Lolita to us... Quickly Now...

Ranger, Cobalt, & Concord would you three be kind enough to take the point and clear us a path to the door?

Lardy I & II... Hmmm... You two don't seem to be interested in fighting anyone but each other...

Abin... Isolate them please... unless Cobie, Ranger, and Concord need help... then well...let's hope they don't.

Sharky woould you take the port side please and help me watch for Everyday Girl and Jailbait Lass?

<cracks nuckles>

I'll gladly take point. Lets do this.

And Ranger, Concord--let the competition begin

<flies forward making a path by magnetically knocking back dopplegangers>
