Y'see, Chief was originally a small-time crook. And a bad one at that. To put it frankly, he sucked at crime.
But one day, something happened, that screwed him up real bad. And he went insane. Really so.
Chief wandered through the streets, with no direction, no purpose. Until he entered an anime shop.
And saw Akane Tendo pictures.
Fascinated, he broke into the store later that night, and stole all the merchandise he could find about her. He then went home, and watched each and every episode.
As happens to anyone who has something to do with Akane, he went even further off the deep-end. And began seeing himself as her suitor, and protector. (Think Kuno to an even higher degree.)
Anyway, while this was happening, his latent powers, awoken by the extreme stress he's been having, manifested.
And they were perfect for him.
Enhanced endurance, to take lots of beatings.
Strength that increased as he grew angrier.
The ability to take any blunt object he wanted out of a sub-space pocket.
He then went on a quest through Khazan, hopping from dimension to dimension, trying to find Akane.
He finally got to the Ranma-verse, only to be stopped by Tanith, me, and the rest of the group as we happened by. (At the time I was working with them)
After that he pulled a stint as the Temptresses's (Tanith's mirror-clone) servant. Until her banishment. Now I hear he just wanders from place to place. Trying to get back to Nerima.
Maybe I should look him up. He's a bit of a dope, but he's harmless.

If I were you, I'd grab some of the things he takes out of his sub-space pocket though.
He has a penchant for bringing out Bomb-ombs, Black Materia, giant explosives, and stuff like that.
Not safe to have someone like him handling that.
Written by The Real Nemo 10-03-2002 06:12 PM
He sounds like a poor lost soul, out there wandering the multiverse searching for something he can never find. It's so sad...
*grabs Genma's hand*
Mr. Genma! Even though I know that one of us is probably destined to one day kill the other I feel that I can trust you. Please, help me to find this man so I can set him on the right track. I'm sure working for a cute sweet little princess like me will be just the thing he needs to help him get a little direction back in his life.
*sparkling eyes*
What do you say? Will you help me?
Written by Genma 10-03-2002 06:31 PM
I suppose I could. I was gonna go look for him sooner or later anyway.
I hate my weakness to those of the Kawaii kind......

Sorry, I couldn't help but overhear your conversation. And, to be honest, I need to come with you.
I had a dream the other night, a strange dream...
I saw my city in flames, my family and friends dead or worse, and a voice said to me, "All this will come to pass unless you face your other self."
I put it off as nothing, but haering you two talk about other worlds, and mirror selves, I think there might be something to it. Enough to give me pause, anyway. If you'll have me, I'd like to tag along, at least until I find this other me.

Genma shrugged.

He activated the Map, and a portal formed. He turned to the assembled group.
Genma: Hop on in.

The YVW2 mage and Writerboy moved cautiously forward, down the corridor. Meanwhile, Nemo skipped happily along, and the Sandman clones unsuccessfully tried to imitate her. When they came to a fork in the path Writerboy suggested left, which they took.
Only to run into a group of what Genma guessed to be guards. Each of them were covered in light leather armor, swords or spears in their hands, and at the ready. But the most prominent feature was the appendages visible sprouting from the back.
Wings.
Genma: Damn. This is Pheonix Mountain.

????: Lemu, aren't they supposed to be scared of us?
Lemu: I don't know, that bunch of landlings from before weren't. Things just aren't like they used to be Maek.
Maek: True, true.
Nemo: *Ahem*
Maek: *Turning back around* Oh, right, right. Sorry, didn't mean to be rude. *Bringing spear to bear* Right then, let's march along now.
Genma raised an eyebrow, and Maek fell to the ground, screaming as electricity coursed through his body.
Genma: Tell us what we need to know. And then I'll take care of him.
Lemu turned back to the rest of his group, sweat running down his brow.
Lemu: Quickly, what was the name of that landling we captured before? The one who's been harassing Mistress Kiima?!
Unknown Grunt: Ummm, I don't know.
Genma: Tell me, did this 'landling' harass her while she was in cursed form?
Lemu: *Looking at him* Why, yes. Strangely enough, he did. Though why is a mystery. I mean, landlings are so plain. Why, if I-
Genma: Great, thanks for your help.
Lemu and the rest of his kin fell to the ground, in the same state as Maek.
Writerboy: Are they okay?
Genma: *Shutting off the power of the spell* They'll be out of it for the next few days. I couldn't afford us to be found out right now. Though it'll only give us a few minutes before someone finds these goofs.
Sandman clone 2: At least we know a 'landling' is here.
Sandman clone 5: What's a landling? Is it tasty?
Genma glanced at the clone. Then turned away, and resumed walking down the hall.
Genma: I don't even wanna know.

Nemo: I was hoping they'd give me an excuse to kill them, it's been so long since I've killed someone... *looks indecisive for a moment* Oh forget it, I'm sure there’ll be plenty of people to kill later anyway. *runs to catch up with the others*
Written by Genma 10-06-2002 06:35 AM
Nemo: What is that?
Sandman clone 3: Sounds like a large bee.
Sandman 5: I wonder if it's edible?
Genma turned to Sandman clone 5.
Genma: Man, what is your problem? All you've been thinking about since we got here is eating stuff! You even tried to eat some of that bird guy's armor!
The mage was so concentrated on his rant that he failed to notice a portal open up behind him, though the others did.
Genma: What? What is it?
?????: OOOOooohhhhh crrraaaapppppppp!
Genma turned around.
Genma: What the he-
*Thwack* And was slammed into by a falling Ghost. The two tumbled end over end, and landed at Nemo's feet.
Nemo: Hey, I remember you! From the dance. *She frowned* Which you sucked at.
Genma: *Getting up* What I want to know is how you got here.
Ghost: *Getting up as well* I don't know. One minute I'm at the dance, the next I'm here.
Genma: Well, whatever. If you want, you can join us. We're wandering around trying to find an old 'friend' of mine.

Tanith walks into the room from the balcony and looks around.
Tanith: Looks like every one's here. *evil grin*
Tanith: *takes out communicator* Rommie? It's tiiiiiiime.....
Suddenly, a large tank of greenish blue water appears in the middle of the room. Strange... creatures, some seemingly metallic, can be seen swimming in the tank.
Several people in the room also suddenly found themselves plucked from where-ever they had been in the ballroom, and strung up in some kind of magical/hightech contraption that hung them over the tank.
Cheeks: Hey! What gives? Lemme down!
FBH #13: *hic!* wzit hnhh?
*POP* Several tennis balls appeared in Tanith hands. She took careful aim at one of the contraptions holding one of the FBH's, took a step, and threw. The ball hit a brightly painted bullseye sign on top of the contraption.
*SPLASH!*
FBH #19: *ggszzl!!*
As everyone stared at her, Tanith started tossing the other tennis ball between her hands.

Indeed, there was a cage. Or a cell, exactly. A prison cell.
Ghost: Let's check it out!
Writerboy: Maybe someone's inside. Wouldn't hurt to have a peek.
Nemo: Can we have some 'fun' with whoever it is?
Writerboy didn't like the way she had stressed the word 'fun'. And the little flickers of fire that had appeared did nothing to ease his mind either.
Writerboy: Actually, I was thinking of setting them free.

Genma: What the heck are you doing in there? Why haven't you busted out?
Chief Defender broke out of his peaceful daze, and stared at someone he hadn't seen in a long time.
Chief: What's this? Could it be? Do my eyes register the form of Genma, my old nemesis? Truly, this is an unpredictable world we live in! I welcome you, to my humble abode!
At this, Genma paused. Something was definitely off. Chief Defender had never been this lucid, or congenial, before. For as long as Genma knew him, the loon always had a chip on his shoulder. Had time mellowed him? Whatever.
Genma: You didn't answer. Why are you sitting here near the bottom of Pheonix Mountain living in a cell? What are you even doing here for that matter?!
Before Chief could answer, another group of figures burst into the room. The one in the lead was a woman with short, white hair. Her sword was still sheathed, but a hand lay on it. And she was not pleased.
Kiima. It figured.
Kiima: In the name of Lord Saffron, what is going on down here?!

Chief Defender: Far too long! To not gaze upon your visage is pure torture to me!
Genma and Co. just stared on, confused and lost. This was beginning to become commonplace it seemed.
Genma: Did I miss something?
Nemo: This is strange.
Writerboy: *Digging around in his pack* Okay! I got all the potions we'll need after the battle is over! So let's get to it and........what's going on? What, no fighting?
Kiima: *Turning to look at them* Tell me, what are you doing in our territory? By what reason do you venture here?
Genma: Well, you see, Nemo, *pointing to said little girl* wanted to employ Chief Defender in her services. Y'know, minion and all that. She's a nice enough girl, but lacking competent help. And since I was planning on looking CD up anyway, I decided to help her search for him.
Kiima: .............you mean you'll take him off our hands?
Genma: That's the gist of it.
Kiima: Hmmmmmmm.
Chief Defender sprung forward.
Chief: No! You cannot seperate me from my love! Not after all I have suffered to get here!

Chief: As you well know, the last time we met was during that whole debacle with my previous mistress.
Kiima and her guards looked to Genma.
Genma: A woman by the name of Temptress. Believe me, you don't want to know her.
Chief: After that whole travesty was settled, I renewed my determination to find the one true love of my life. Akane Tendo.
Genma noticed Kiima twitch at that.
Chief: I wandered from dimension to dimension for many years. I met hardship in many forms. The worst being this really short man with black spiky hair, and a horrible taste for pink shirts.
This time, Kiima noticed Genma and his group shudder.
Until finally, I chanced upon this holy land.
Kiima: He fell through a portal of some kind. Directly into the king's quarters.
Chief: Quite so. Shortly after, I met my angel, the perfect woman. One on who which other women measure themselves.
Kiima rolled her eyes, but seemed to be blushing a bit.
Chief: She was....displeased I had intruded on her liege's room, and forced me into honorable combat. Not wanting to hurt a flower such as her, I did the only thing I could think of.
Kiima: He smacked me upside the head with a giant marble.
Genma: Did that to you too? He even pulled that one on the Munchking once.
Kiima: Who?
Genma: Nutcase with loads of power.
*AHEM*
Everyone turned back to Chief.
Chief: Seeing my obvious prowress, and recognizing my noble status, they decided to house me here.
Kiima: We tried to make him a slave, but he kept blowing up sections of the mountain with these wierd little bomb things that had eyes and feet.
Genma: Bomb-ombs.
Chief: *Annoyed* Anyway, while I spent time here, I began to learn more of this woman who had captured my heart. And to my suprise, I found she was doubly blessed! Her normal form, that of a winged valkyrie, melts away with cold water, and becomes that of my other beloved!
Genma: You mean Akane.
Chief: Indeed. Truly, this must be a sign from the gods, I am meant to stay here, and protect her from anything that may cause harm.
Genma turned to look at Kiima.
Kiima: *Shrugging* He fights very well for such a dope. And he's very well....built.
Genma gagged.
Kiima: *Sobering up* And, he's been instrumental in bringing Saffron to full power.
Genma: What?!?!
Chief: It seemed a small price to pay for being near my love. I simply gave him one of these. *Holds out a fire materia*
Kiima: Lord Saffron no longer needs to go through his cycle. That orb has recharged him. We eventually plan on heading to Japan, and having a rematch with Saotome. Though we won't kill him, we do wish for him to see the might of a true god.
Genma: Good luck. Chances are he's gotten *much* stronger over the years.
Kiima: That just means the battle will be more fulfilling.
Genma: Now, about the negotiations for borrowing Chief for awhile.....
Kiima: What do you suggest?

Nemo: Nope! That's so boring. Beating people up and taking their stuff is where it's at!
Writerboy:.......right....anyway...
Everyone turned back to the conversation at hand. Nemo pouted.
Genma: We only want him for a few days at the most. Once Nemo's done with whatever it is she wants, we'll return him to you. No muss, no fuss. Deal?
Kiima: He has been annoying some of the nobles lately, I guess it wouldn't hurt to get him out of our hair for awhile.
Chief: I object! Surely, the child has some noble reason to want my service, *Genma chuckled at that* but what am I to do without my beloved?
Genma walked over, and whispered something in Chief's ear. The slightly insane man's eyes widened, and a large smile broke out on his face.
Chief: Indeed! Maybe this will be advantageous to take up! Very well, I shall go with you!
Ghost: *Asking as Genma walks back over* What did you just say to him?
Genma: You don't wanna know. Let's just leave it at that.

Kiima: Oh no.....Saffron.

Kiima: He must have heard about your intrusion here. This is very bad. Ever since his rise to adulthood, Saffron has banned all humans from trekking on our land. Any people captured are to be turned into slaves.
Genma: But what about him? *Pointing at Chief*
Kiima: He feels a debt of gratitude, and allows CD to stay here. Not only that, he keeps him here just in case a recharge is needed. I was hoping you'd leave before our lord found out.
The ceiling above them exploded, and shards of rock came raining down.
Saffron: Who *dares* trespass on my mountain?!? Prepare to die!!
Genma hurriedly tossed Ghost, Writerboy, and the SC's copies of the Dimensional Map.
Genma: Hey, you guys wanted a fight? You got it! You deal with him! When you're done, use these to go wherever you want! Bye-bye!
Genma, Nemo, and Chief Defender ported out, leaving the rest of the group looking at a very pissed off god.
Writerboy: Well.....uhhh.....get'em!

WriterBoy turned to the others. "That oughta buy us about a minute. Everyone, brace yourselves; I'm going to have to dig into your minds to figure out a plan."
Compiler's Note: The rest of this sub-arc was never finished, so just assume that everyone involved managed to get away from the Ranmaverse in one piece. The Sandman group apparently went back to Terra Mars afterwards, where they later joined up with Yeo-Zel.

Rommie:"No one is back yet. Are you sure?"
Mg:"Yes."
*Mg was beamed aboard, He went straight to his quarters to change out of his tuxedo and into combat fatigues. Exiting his room Mg heads to the training simulator. Stepping inside he requested Rommie load and run the Stalingrad program. He trained for about a half an hour.*

*Mg spun around and saw an image of himself.*
Mg:"Who are you?"
Voice:"I am you of course. You think you got away from hell that easily?"
Mg:"I am here though."
Mg(voice):"Of course you are but I am not. I am just a tiny piece of your soul. I remained in hell so that the devil can keep track of you."
Mg:"Why? I thought Z did the right thing to free me."
Mg(voice):"You think Satan would let a toy to get away so easily? I am here to drive you to evil."

Mg(voice):"You think the darkness would just give me form. No, he gave me abilities to inflict pain on you, to turn you. You see this is a special oppertunity for it. You have much experince in killing superhumans. Superhumans which the light counts on to do good. You will be my masters pawn, whether you like it or not."

Chief: Greetings fair one! I would have a word with you!
The woman turned, and for the first time, Chief got a good look at the bundle held in her arms. It was a child. And for some reason, it reminded him of........GENMA!!!
Chief: What is this?! Can it be that my nemesis has been given offspring before I have? What atrocity! I am shamed!
Lenneth and Chibi-Genma stared at the strange man in front of them, and then looked at each other.
Chibi-Genma: Do you have any idea what he's talking about?
Lenneth: Nay. But I have the feeling this mortal, while strong in body, is weak in the mind.
Genma walked up at this moment, accompanied by Keiya.
Genma: Ah, so there you are Chief! I was wondering where you'd gone.
Chief: Tell me, how is it possible?!
Genma: What?
Chief: Already, you have children! While one such as myself has none!
Genma: Children? How do you figure that?
Chief pointed to Chibi-Genma.
Chief: Do not try to decieve me! I can see your visage in this young one! He is the spitting image of you!
Chief pointed to Lenneth.
Chief: And you have a beauty for a wife! A true marvel of the world! How can you be so lucky?
Lenneth blushed, Chibi-Genma groaned, Keiya smirked, and Genma shook his head.
Genma: Back only a few hours, and you're already getting things mixed up.
Chief: Then tell me, how did such a child come into this world?
Genma: It's not a child, it's a chibi.
Chief: Chi....bi?
Genma: Uh oh. I forgot about that.
Chief: CHIBI!!!! AAAAGGGHHHHH!!!!!!
Chief turned around, and ran off to the other side of the arena, screaming the whole way.

"Rommie? What was that about?"
The voice of the Andromeda AI sounded over the intercom.
"Unknown. Sensors did not pick up any presences or disturbances in the area. Certainly not within human visible range."
Tanith frowned. Given that they'd just been to Sunnydale, and had held many refugees of that very supernaturally active city on the ship, she didn't want to take any chances.
"Run a detailed scan of the ship, Rommie. I don't want something to have gotten past our defenses. Also, ask Rune and Firesong to come to my office. Hm... and better ask Serra and Silverfox to come to."
"Acknowledged." With a click, Rommie went to notify the crewmembers on board.

Voice: "You remember this don't you. That day. They are all dead."
*Mg enters the kitchen he sees his two brothers face down on the floor, a pool of blood surronding them. A masked man sits on the counter.*
Masked Man:"Yes, the day you tried so hard to forget. The day when a supremist super broke into your house. He killed your whole family just because they didn't have powers."
*sliding off the counter, the masked man walked toward Mg.*
Masked Man:"You killed him. Snapped his neck in your rage but that rage made you strong. Admit it you liked killing that man, in fact you have enjoyed killing every super that you were ordered too. You hate them don't you? It is the core of your being. It is why you work so hard and ponder how to kill the supers you have met. It is like an obession."
*The masked man pulls off the mask revealing Mg's doppleganger.*
Doppleganger:"All I am saying is for you to give in to that feeling of pleasure you get. Exact your vengence on the whole species. You know you want to."
*Anger seeped through Mg's usually calm exterior. Mg's doppleganger laughed.*
Doppleganger:"I see I have struck a nerve. What else can I dig up?"
*Suddenly an image of Tanith appears.*
Doppleganger:'Yes, you love her don't you? I remember that incident a few years ago. It took a super's powers to make you confess your that secert didn't it. You hated him for it. No matter, when I have my way she will fall with the rest won't she?"
*The image of Tanith burns first revealing the skeleton then finally turning to ash.*
Doppleganger:"Ohh, I would love to hear those screams in real life."
*Mg finally snaps, he leaps at the doppleganger with his hands placed around his doubles throat. Mg's doppleganger just laughs.*
Doppleganger:"Yes. Let in to your anger, release that demon which you hide so well. For now though I will leave you."
*the scene fades out and Mg is left in an empty holodeck.*

Rommie spoke up first, reporting no disturbances to her highly advanced sensors on board.
Firesong was next, reporting that none of his protective spells had been breached or set off. Rune concurred, turning up empty on her scan of the ship as well.
Nodding absently, she turned to the final person in the room, who had not been gazing emptily into space while using supernatural senses, but had rather been scrutinizing the same monitor as she had been.
"Well?"
Silverfox sighed. "Without actually talking to him, there's only so much I can read from his body language." He paused to compose his thoughts. "He's definitely speaking to something or someone he can see; something that he recognizes and fears. He's obviously agitated, and worried, and seems to be faced with some kind of riddle or dilemma that he must choose or solve."
"So the question is, is there really something there. Or is he just seeing things," summarized Tanith.
"Correct," replied the kestra'chern. "Someone needs to go talk to him... Normally I would recommend myself, but in this case... He's not very comfortable around me, and I think that he needs someone to anchor him in order to get any sense out of him."
Tanith nodded. "I see."

*In Tanith's Office.*
Tanith:"I think Serra should go talk to Mg. He knows her pretty well and she is pretty non-threatening."
Serra:"I will see what I can do. I am certainly not as good as Silverfox in healing minds but I have picked up a few trick."
*Serra exits the office and walks towards Mg's quarters. She knew nothing Mg had could hurt her but it was always hard dealing with someone afflicted with madness. Entering the room she was surprised by having a gun pointed in her face.*
Mg:"Oh it is just you. Sorry I am just a bit jumpy. I thought I saw an intruder earlier today."
Serra:"I think it was more then that."
Mg:"No, I think I just saw something I searched the whole ship and didn't find anything more out of place then they normally are."
Serra:"That wasn't what I meant. I think there is something wrong with you."
*Mg sighs.*
Mg:"I guess you saw. Does anybody else know?"
Serra:"Just me, Tanith, Silverfox, Firesong, and Rune."
Mg:"Crap. This is not what I wanted."
Serra:"Well would you like to talk about it?"
Mg:"No, I don't. I know you can force it out of me if you wish."
Serra:"I am not that crude and I respect your privacy but do speak to someone before this thing gets worse."
Written by Tanith 10-22-2002 12:32 PM
"What do you think now?"
Silverfox absently chewed on the tip of a strand of his long hair, before replying thoughtfully. "The more he speaks, the more I think that he does not totally believe his own words. Something is very wrong with him right now, and it's quite possible that the cause is within his own mind."
"But you'll help him get all better, wontcha, Fox-chan?" Rune's hopeful voice chirped up from beside him, bringing a fond smile to Silverfox's lips.
"Of course. That is my duty, after all." But then, his look turned more serious as he turned back to Tanith. "My greatest concerns are that his wariness of me would keep him from speaking, and that he might do something... rash."
"I'll have Rommie keep tabs on the both of you," Tanith assured him. "He's not going anywhere until we get this sorted."
With a curt nod, Silverfox left the room, heading for the holodeck. A beat later, Firesong followed him, intending to keep an eye on his lover from just out of sight.

*Mg puts the barrel onto the stock and slids into place with a click.*

Mg:"No, I clean my guns on a weekly basis. It relaxes me."

Silverfox: "To relax... what worries press you to seek relaxation in the aftermath of the celebration on Terra Mars?"
Mg slid the pistol into a holster.
Mg: "I am not one for social events. There are also a few things on my mind. I wonder, could you pull the trigger if neccessary?"
Silverfox raised an elegant eyebrow.
Silverfox: "It would depend on whether 'neccessary' is truly so," he replied. "Might I ask what thoughts plague your mind to even consider such a course of action?"
Mg stared at Silverfox.
Mg: "I feel like I am losing control, this thing haunts me during the day and invades my dreams when I sleep. I cannot describe it, it is like me but it is not."
Silverfox: "You have nightmares then? Do you remember what they are?"
Mg: "If you felt the icy grip of death upon you as many times as I had then you better have nightmares but this thing I talk about is different. It mocks me and taunts me. It tries to pry away my self-control and make me hate."
Silverfox: "This... thing that speaks to you. Does it speak in a voice that you hear in your mind? Or is it just a feeling - a state of mind that does not seem to be your own?"
Mg: "It speaks and I see it. It is me, or at least takes that form. It drives me to kill and takes a sick pleasure in it. It is what I leave in my wake bodies, widows,and orphans."
Silverfox: "It is separate from you then? An apparition that only you can see, one that seems privy to your darkest memories?"
Silverfox frowned.
Silverfox: "Have you considered the possibility of outside tampering?"
Mg: "I don't know if it is seperate from me. It knows all my secerts and the things I have tried to forget. It also seems to know what drives me and whom I love."
Silverfox: "Just when did this start? Have the dreams or the waking dread ever appeared to you before your... recent brush with death?"
Mg: "No, this only started after the party and I wouldn't call it a brush with death. I was dead. It first appeared to me when I was exercising on the holodeck. It appeared early today also on the holodeck, this time more vivid and was able to make me see other thing then just it."
Silverfox: "There was no warning of its onset then? No previous periods of dread or anxiety?"
Mg: "No, warning at all. It just came out of nowhere and appeared to me. The first time I just thought I was just seeing something but then it started appearing again and again."
"It came suddenly then," Silverfox mused softly. He considered his words for a moment, then began questioning once more. "This... thing... that speaks to you. What is it say? What does it seem to want?
Mg: "Well, it wants me to kill. It tries to persude me to do it and tries to break me down. It makes me watch horrible things happening to everyone I have loved in my life. It is also standing right next to you right now."
Silverfox stiffened at that last statement, but did not turn his head toward where Mg was looking. With a forced calmness, he asked softly, "And what is it doing now? What do you see?"
Mg: "Not much. He is just telling me to kill you. I am surprised you can't hear him. He is yelling pretty loudly. He doesn't seem as real here though. Sorta semi-solid."
Silverfox nodded slowly, as if he had been half expecting that response. Still, he pursued his questioning rather than to turn to look where Mg indicated.
Silverfox: "And do you think of the creature's words? What feelings does it stir up?"
Mg: "I don't listen to him but it is hard sometimes. He knows how to twist the knife so well and bring you to your lowest levels. It will use your own character flaws againist you."

He had not left on very good terms the last time, and now he had lost everything he had built on his own. He didn't have any place to go, but neither did he know if he would be welcome on the Andromeda anymore, either.
"Dammit", he said to himself. "Get a grip, man, and just ask her!"
Jaffa sprang up, and left his quarters for Tanith's office.
Tanith was distracted from her concerned musings on the state of Mg's mind by the sound of her door signal. She switched off the screen, telling Rune to keep an eye on the situation in her inner officer alcolves. Then she turned and acknowledged the door signal with a curt "enter."
With a swish, the doors to her office opened and Jaffa stepped through. The doors closed smoothly behind him.
"Well", Tanith said. "Haven't seen you around much these days. You've fully recovered, then?"
"Yeah", Jaffa replied. "I've been thinking of things."
Tanith replied only with her customary raised eyebrow.
"Well, my own operation ended in disaster, as you well know... and..."
"Yes? Spit it out."

Serra: You don't have too. It was easy. You have three powers now. You have been enchanted with three abilities. First is Serra's Embrace which makes you stronger, faster, and have the ability of flight. Second is Samite Blessing which gives you a touch which can heal most injuries. Finally you have a spectral shield which makes you more durable and prevents you from being the target of further spells.

"However, if you think that you would feel better if I or Tanith would read this..."
Mg gave a curt nod.
Silverfox sighed. "Very well. If that is what you wish." He leaned away from the doorframe and made ready to depart. "But if that... thing... does start speaking to you again... I do suggest that you either seek my counsel... or perhaps an examination by Serra."

"Affirmative."

"He gave his name as Tsuzuku Ryudo. From his language, he's most likely from Japan on an alternate Earth. Rommie is checking the databases right now."
"But he's friendly?"
"He means no harm to us, no. In fact, he's quite bewildered by the whole thing - moreso than we are. I get the sense that he's not too familiar with his own powers."
"Really." Tanith thought for a moment as she tried to remember something. "Y'know... the name Ryudo sounds familiar."
"It's from the anime series Soryuuden," Rommie's voice suddenly interrupted from the intercom. "He's the reincarnated Dragon King of the South in that series. The patron incarnate of Fire."
"Ah, I remember now." Tanith couldn't help but smirk a bit. "He's quite a bishounen too, if I remember correctly."
Firesong coughed politely into his hands as Silverfox raised an eyebrow at the two of them.
"Nevermind. Let's get him back to where he belongs." Tanith sighed, and just before she entered the kitchen, she murmured almost to herself, "and I think I should get Mei a keeper like Rune as well..."

Mg stopped outside of Tanith's office and hung his head. There was no way he could talk to her after she had read what was in that file. Mg turns and heads back to his quarters.
Mg took a meandering path back to his quarters. Walking has always let him clear his head and think better. He noted that he hadn't eaten all day and hung a left to head towards the kitchen. Stepping into the kitchen he saw an exasperated Tanith and smoke coming from various ovens, stoves, and microwaves.

The former Nerimian paused by the table Mei was under and peered down at the girl.
"Oh my! What are you doing here Mei? You weren't hurt, were you?"
After assuring Kasumi that she was fine, and in turn being assured that Tanith was not mad, Mei reluctantly allowed herself to be pulled out from under the table and began to help Kasumi clean up. Without magic, this time.
