A panoramic view of the universe.

Suddenly it was numb-nuts the Semi-Incomprehensible’s turn to be dumbfounded and amazed. Wonderingly he gazed around him as he pondered how improbable it was to be dumbfounded before being amazed. But it had happened and he had to accept the fact as he looked at the mysteries of the universe unfolding around him. Stars, Planets, and Nebulae swirled in an ever expanding panorama as his senses struggled to comprehend the vast enormity of what had been concealed in her robe. “And here I thought she was smuggling puppies,” he muttered.

Slowly he became aware that he was not alone with the goddess. STUGerbil floated on his right side and Stoopid Cat sat on the goddess’ left shoulder.

“Your two companions hail from a far flung and barely conceivable future, Master Sorcerer, but they are the key do defeating the most heinous menace our universe will ever face.”

Suddenly she was standing tall on the back of her lion, and the lower half of her garment had been whisked away. Two more universes appeared as she turned away from him. “Look at the universes, not what is between them,” she ordered sharply as she bent to place Stoopid Cat on the lion’s back. “For now anyway,” she added with a smile.

“How can there be more than one universe?” He asked in amazement, struggling to keep his attention focused on the twin moon shaped windows. “And do you realize how hard it is…”

“I told you,” she cut him off, “Look at the twin universes.”

Mentally, he counted to ten. She might be a goddess he thought thru clenched teeth but to tell someone not to look at something that…

“What you see are the universes that are closest to ours. Call them universes “B” and “C”.” She turned so that only the universe on the left was visible. “In the future that both StuRat and Stoopid Cat come from…”

Her words were cut off by a loud YOWL from Stoopid Cat. When Bast spoke the name “StuRat” STUGerbil had transformed. Gone was the vaguely powerful sorcerer and in his (its?) place stood the extremely powerful sorcerer. StuRat looked down at himself wonderingly.

”HOW??”

Interestingly it was the Numedian Lion who answered, prompting another surprised YOWL from Stoopid Cat.

“It is the first step in you becoming ME!” It (he?) roared. “Just remember this sequence; Rat, Sort of Human, Puppy, Collie, Lion. And never, EVER become a duck, or all is lost.”

“But what does all of this mean?” The Master Sorcerer and Stoopid Cat both asked at the same time, which caused another round of confusion because up to that point, no one but the Goddess knew that Stoopid Cat could talk (and that included S.C.).

“In the future that both StuRat and Stoopid Cat come from a vastly powerful being will lead his followers in an invasion of a place called Legion World. The only beings capable of defeating this menace are your descendent Pagan Lass, StuRat, and Stoopid Cat, If they can work together.”

“But I have no children,” the Master Sorcerer stammered.

“We will fix that,” the Goddess smiled.

The universes began to fold back into the robe of the Goddess, as she reached out to the stunned Master Sorcerer...

Wild, Pagan Lass...is there any room for me in your story? I know a thing or two about creating things out of thin air...

In reality, (person behind the computer) you are pissing me off!

**Rowl**

I'll just keep track of things from in here, that way whenever he shows up, I can get there quickly...


**Rowl**

Hrun lays out the wards and traps carefully. Setting up a series of mirrors he them retreats slightly up the tesseract system to a point where no one can approach him from the rear.

***YOWL***

<Slides back into the Tesseracts from the Fix-it shop and Cafe Cramer and moves carefully over to the nearest wall...>

Time to show the Barbarian just who controls the tesseracts...

<Several doorways appear, all leading to the Security Office... And a Howling Gale begins blowing through the tunnels>

**Yowl***

Hrun ios blown off his feet. Flying wildly through the tessearacts Hrun tries to regain control.

Finally he lands inside the Security office.

LAM enters office, sees Stoopid Cat and automically erects a barrier to protect his little pal

*sulks on her ice slide*

I was created? By Luna and her weird sisters? *sigh* This blows. Though it does explain why I look nothing like my so-called parents.

*looks around*

Oh, crud. I'm definitely lost now. Gotta get me a sense of direction, stat.

<Through some sort of PA system? WTF???>

Don't worry about it Chilly.

Have fun in the tesseracts.

Don't call me Chilly, strange voice!

*glares at the system*

Screw this place, I ought to go sulk in Shakes. At least there's booze there.

(whispers in Frio's mind)

You were created for greatness, who else can say such a statement?

Well I'm confident I can...

Ohmigod! I'm hearing more voices. This can not be a good sign...

Though, I do like the greatness idea. Hmm. May have to hold onto that one.

Sorry, guys, coming through! Has anyone seen Varalent in here, by any chance?

Nope? Then I guess I'll have to move on.

(continues searching)

Rrrrooooooaaaarrrr!!!!!


*Stoopid Cat, get out here this instant. My human is gone...disappeared without a trace and now I understand that yours is as well. WHile the humans here mean well, they've accomplished very little in tracking either of them down. And none of them hav e even noticed that others have gone missing as well. I've been very patient but it's time to call out the LMBP Super Pets. Maybe we can get to the bottom of this mystery.

tap, tap, tap

Don't make me come find you SC! You won't like the consequences if I have to!

Sorry, Queen Connie, but Stoopid Cat is indisposed for a while, it seems Hrun hit him with a Catnip Bomb, and he hasn't fully recovered yet.


Truth and Justice shall Prevail!
(I have no idea what to give a cat for a hangover.)

Queen Connie?

I'm Frio. I've been moping around here for a while but I recently received a message from Cobalt Kid informing me of the impending crisis. I know I'm not a Super Pet but is there anything I can do to help?

Oh and hey Space Ranger. What's shaking homie?

<Message from TL>

Sorry Chil... Frio. I will remember your name from now on.

*sniffs* Well, it's a start, at least.

SHRIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!!!

<throws banana peel>

**Meow**

Stoopid Cat reporting for duty, Queenie...

I'll be over here in this dark corner waiting for your instructions. Tell that damm monkey to think quieter...

**meow**

Hello Frio, sorry I didn't see you a moment ago...

Are you all right?


Truth and Justice shall Prevail!
(Seems a litttle shaken up...)
