"Mars Fire.... IGNITE!!"
     "Mars Napalm Bolo Engulf!"
     "Burning Mandala!"
     A fireball, a wave of flaming bolos, and a swarm of flame rings converged on their target, frying it to a crisp and reducing it to ashes.  Once the heat died down and the smoke cleared, the computer let out a tone.  The background shifted back to the control room and the two senshi and one warrior took a breather.
     "Results of MARS program alpha,"  the computer beeped, "perfect 100%.  Great team effort!"
     "Thanks,"  Jess said.
     "Excellent!"  Steve Young exclaimed.
     "I expected nothing more,"  Rei said smugly.  The other two gave her a death stare.  She replied, "What did I say?!  What did I say?!"
     "You're over confident,"  Alex said as he phased in.
     "Oh yeah, where have you been for the past hour!?"  Jess asked.
     "I've been planning my next move against the Negaverse,"  Alex said, a devilish grin forming on his face.
     "Lemme guess,"  Rei said, "the Negaverse has taken control of a local fraternity?!"
     A look of surprise formed on Alex's face.  He then said, "How did you know that?!"
     "I was being sarcastic!"  Rei exclaimed, "Besides, what did they ever do to you?!"  she added.
     "They gave me a reason to be annoyed,"  Alex said, forming a triangle with his fingers.  The points of the triangle glowed red, blue, and white before energy waves outlined the sides.
     "Um, Alex,"  Steve said, "you appear to be powering up for something."
     "That's right,"  Alex said, his eyes glowing red.  He then shouted, "Delta Force!"
     A beam of energy fired from the triangle, the top point glowing red and attacking with fire.  The lower left point glowed blue and the beam turned to ice.  Finally the lower right point glowed white and the beam turned to lightning.  Once the smoke cleared there was a hole in the wall in the shape of an equilateral triangle.  The three then turned to Alex, who had a devilish grin on his face.
     "What did you do that for!?"  Rei demanded, spewing flames.
     "Because I can!"  Alex snarled.  Just then his eyes returned to normal.  Unfortunately, Rei had already begun her round house kick.  Her high heeled shoe caught Alex upside the head and tore his cheek wide open.  When she saw what she had done, she ran to his side.
     "Alex, are you ok?"  Rei asked.
     "Not really,"  he said, blood oozing from the wound.  Rei took hold of her chest bow and tore it from her fuku.  She then applied it to Alex's face.
     "Quickly, we need to get to a hospital!"  Rei commanded.  Even before the words were out of her mouth they had called Adderson for a pickup.  As soon as Adderson pulled up the four piled into his tiny Saab and they took off for the hospital.  On the way Rei explained everything.
     "And then I performed a round house kick and I guess my heels are sharper than  I thought,"  she exclaimed, "But I would like to know why Alex doesn't like frats."
     "It's because of a frat party that I ended up being kicked out of the dorm and suspended from the university,"  Adderson said, "That really pissed him off to the point of going out and kicking ass."
     As they were driving, Rei's cellular phone rang.  She activated the phone and spoke into it.
     "Hell, this is Rei Hino."
     "Rei, it's Chad.  Something has happened at the temple."
     "Chad, this had better be important.  I told you this line is for emergency calls only."
     "This is an emergency.  Grandpa was helping me with the aerobics class and he had a minor heart attack."
     "Oh my stars!  What hospital is he at!?  Is he ok?!"
     "He's doing ok.  They have him in the ICU at the Heart of Gold Hospital."
     "That's five minutes from where we are,"  Adderson said.
     "Chad, where are you now?"
     "I'm in the waiting room at the hospital."
     "We'll be there in a few minutes,"  Adderson said, "even less if I step on it!"
     "Chad, we'll be there in  a couple minutes.  We'll see you then."
     Rei clicked off the phone and said to Adderson, "Step on it!"
     Adderson put the pedal to the metal and the tiny car hit 80 MPH.  They arrived at the hospital relatively fast and it was at this point that they noticed how they were dressed.
     "Can we go inside dressed like this?!"  Steve asked, looking at his body armor.
     "We don't have time to change back,"  Jess said.
     "And if I change back the bandage on Alex's face will vanish,"  Rei said.
     "I don't care what you do,"  Alex said, "just get me inside!"
     "I'll go in and give them the information,"  Adderson said, stepping through the automatic door.  The other four looked at one another before stepping through the doors.  Once inside they viewed a mass of confusion and chaos.
     "What is going on in here!?"  Steve exclaimed.
     "I'm getting a bad feeling about this,"  Rei said.
     "You ain't kidding,"  Chad said as he walked up to the group dressed in a hospital gown.
     "What happened to you?!"  Rei demanded.
     "It's kinda like this.  See, they brought these guys in from some explosion and they were coated in this radioactive stuff and it kinda got sprayed everywhere and people were slipping and falling in the stuff so they scrubbed us down and burned our clothes."
     Just then Adderson's voice cut through the air.
     "I could really use some assistance here!"  he shouted.  Everyone turned around to see some people in haz - mat suits trying to strip Adderson down.  As they viewed this four more people snuck up behind the group and incapacitated them.
     "This is not cool!"  Jess said.
     "I know,"  Alex grunted, trying to break free from the person's grip.  As soon as he got his right arm free he hoisted it into the air and shouted, "Star Crystal Power!"
     Ribbons unfurled from the jewel in his ring, wrapping around his arm and forming his gauntlet.  The jewels in the gauntlet released energy in the form of rings, which wrapped around his body and formed his armor.  Once he had transformed, he broke free of the person's grip and back flipped down the hall.  Unfortunately his hand slipped in some of the stuff and he fell on his neck and skidded a few feet before ending up on his back.  He looked up to face some people in haz - mat suits and he smiled at them before knocking them senseless.
     While Alex was fighting his captors, Adderson flipped over the back of the person holding him from behind and flung them across the room.  He then took out his medallion and transformed.
     "Universe Life Power!"
     An amulet in the shape of a star burst formed on his chest.  A galaxy formed behind him and waves of star energy and cosmic dust wrapped around his body, forming black chest and shoulder armor baggy black pants, black and gold gauntlets, and black boots.  Once Adderson had transformed he used his gravity power to send people floating towards the ceiling.
     Once the people were floating around above them, Rei looked over to Alex to see something astonishing.
     "Hey, Alex,"  Rei said, "how are you holding up?"
     "Great, couldn't be better,"  Alex said, "why?"
     "Because your wound has healed over."
     Alex's hand instinctively went to his cheek and he poked at it for a minute before saying, "Yup, it's good as new."
     Just then they were struck from behind by jets of water which propelled them through the air and into a wall.  Adderson turned around in time to see someone pointing a hose at him.  He used one of his gravity tricks to turn the cannon and stream of water back on the person.  He then back flipped through the air and landed on Alex's shoulders, who just happened to be recovering from the water blast.  Alex grunted under the strain, but managed to hold Adderson up.
     "Ready for a double team?"  Adderson asked.
     "Yup,"  Alex said, "Fire Zone or Max Cyclone?"
     "Fire Zone!"
     Alex grabbed hold of Adderson's legs and began to spin around.  Adderson fell forward and drew a sword.  Alex launched a fireball onto the sword and waves of flame energy erupted forth, knocking people into walls.  Alex decreased his spin and ally ooped Adderson back into the air.  Adderson came in for a perfect 3 point landing and the two shook hands on a job well done.
     "That was intense!"  Adderson exclaimed, running his fingers through his short hair.
     "Uhhh.... " Rei moaned from the corner, "What hit me?"
     "Water cannon,"  Alex said, "Looks like they were trying to hose us down."
     "This stuff must be really bad if they're using super concentrated water,"  Steve said.
     "Rei, where's your grandfather?"  Jess asked.
     "Where's Chad, for that matter?"  Steve asked.
     "I'm getting a bad feeling about this,"  Alex said.  Just then his communicator beeped.  He activated it and a girl with pink hair in a punk style appeared on the screen.
     "Am I speaking to Alex West?"  she asked.
     "That's me,"  Alex said, "who are you?"
     "The name's Washu.  Look, if Rei wants to find her grandfather, he's on the 5th floor of the west wing.  Only problem is it's being protected by some boys from the delta delta delta fraternity."
     "Delta Delta Delta you said?"  Adderson asked.
     "You've heard of them?"  Rei asked.
     "They're the reason I got evicted and suspended,"  Adderson said.
     "And they're really dangerous,"  Washu said, "They now possess powers far greater than yours, I'm afraid."
     Just then a glow off in the shadows caught their eyes.  All five turned to see three triangles form, one red, one white, one blue.  There were three different shouts and delta beams struck the walls around the group.  Sweat drops formed on their heads and they smiled uneasily.
     "Um, Washu, can you call me back in a minute?"  Alex asked, "I gotta go whip someone's ass!"
     "Sure thing.  Washu out."
     As soon as the transmission ended Alex took his glaive from its sub space pocket and pointed it in the direction of the fraternity brothers.  Adderson took his sword and performed a couple fancy tricks before pointing it at the frat boys.  Steve, Jess, and Rei all prepared to attack.
     "Let's rip it up!"  Adderson shouted.  They then charged.
     "Gravity Wave!"
     Adderson slashed the air with his sword, creating a shockwave which threw one of the triple delta boys for a loop.  the other two retaliated with an antipode attack which blasted Adderson through a wall.  Rei and Jess saw this and attacked at the same time.
     "Fire... Soul!"
     "Mars Celestial Fire Surround!"
     The twin attacks struck the second triple delta boy and threw him through the window at the end of the hall.  The third brother, though, summoned a delta storm attack, which threw Jess into a room and Rei down the hall.  Steve and Alex combined attacks in order to finish off the third one.
     "Mars Napalm Bolo Engulf!"
     "Death Ribbon Revolution!"
     A swarm of flaming bolos and a mass of razor sharp ribbons struck the third brother, sending him into oblivion.  As soon as the third brother vanished the two warriors helped their friends to their feet.  Rei then ran to the elevator, punched the button, and waited.  And waited.  And waited.  After five minutes of waiting the elevator finally arrived.  They piled in, with a little bit of trouble because of armor, weapons, etc. getting in the way.  They then went to the fifth floor.
     On their way to the fifth floor Alex's communicator beeped again.  Alex activated it and Washu's face appeared on the screen.
     "What's up?"  Washu asked, "How'd the battle go?"
     "We wasted them and we're on our way to the fifth floor,"  Steve said.
     "That's cool.  Just be careful.  There are more triple delta brothers on that floor and they're guarding Chad and Rei's grandpa."
     "Can I ask you something?"  Rei asked.
     "Sure.  Shoot."
     "Why exactly are you helping us?"
     "Well, I was scanning the stream of time and space and I just happened to see a small tear forming in the temporal fabric.  At any rate your personal time lines would have ended earlier than this."
     The five in the elevator moaned, sweat drops forming on their heads.  Alex thanked Washu for the advice and deactivated his communicator just as the elevator doors opened.  The five poked their heads out of the door and looked around.
     "We're gonna split up,"  Alex said, "Adderson, you're with me.  Jess and Steve are together.  Rei, go get Chad and visit your grandpa.  If you run into trouble deal with it.  Now, move out!"
     Alex performed a cartwheel out of the elevator and proceeded to back flip down one of the halls.  Adderson used his gravity power and soared after Alex.  Rei used her fire power to blow out a ceiling panel.  She then leapt into the air and hoisted herself into the crawl space.  Jess and steve, on the other hand, headed down the hall opposite that of the one which Alex and Adderson used.

     As the two warriors traveled down their chosen hall, they met with little, if no resistance, on the part of the fraternity brothers.  As they rounded a corner they came face to face with four of the enemy.  Alex flipped into the air, twisting this way and that, and at the same time taking the baton from his gauntlet and turning it into a staff, eventually landing on his feet facing the enemy.  Adderson, not possessing any of the cool acrobatic tricks Alex had, flipped through the air, drew his sword, and landed on Alex's shoulders.
     "Rocket Roll!!"  Adderson shouted.  Alex began to spin, Adderson putting his blade in front of him.  Waves of energy exploded from the two, throwing the four frat boys into the walls.  Adderson leapt down from Alex's shoulders and went to inspect the bodies.
     "Wow,"  Adderson said, "these guys used to be my friends."
     The eyes of the boy closest to Adderson snapped open.  Before either could react there was a hand around Adderson's neck, choking the life from him.  Alex drew his star sword and moved in to attack, but one of the other boys wrapped himself around Alex's legs and tackled him to the floor, the sword flying across the room and sticking into a wall.  Another brother picked Alex up by the armpits and proceeded to bear hug him and crush his chest.
     "Adderson,"  Alex wheezed, the breath leaving his chest, spots dancing before his eyes.
     "Alex,"  Adderson choked, on the verge of unconsciousness.
     It seemed like the end for the two warriors, but a single violet rose flew through the air and struck the two brother which were holding the warriors, causing them to drop the two.  Dazed and gasping for breath, they looked up in anticipation of Tuxedo Mask or the Moonlight Knight, but came face to face with a woman dressed in a fuku of red - violet with an emerald skirt, violet boots and gloves, with the bows on the fuku being clear with hints of gold, violet, and emerald.  The woman's waist length blue black hair was pulled up in a top knot, with an emerald band holding it up.  Her gold tiara contained a heart shaped emerald with a piece of alexandrite in the shape of a star in the center.
     "I am Sailor Ceres, and I command you to release the evil from these college students!"
     "Sure thing,"  Alex said, taking some scrolls from his pouch.  He held them up and chanted, "I call upon the powers of Saturn and Mars.  Fireballs and Thunder Rings CHARGE!!"
     The scrolls flew through the air, striking the frat boys in the heads and releasing a bunch of shadow warriors.  Once they had been freed, Sailor Ceres drew a katana sword and attacked.
     "Flame Slash!"
     A beam of fire flew from her sword and struck the shadow warriors, destroying them instantly.  Once the shadows were defeated, Sailor Ceres floated down and joined Adderson and Alex.
     "Warrior Universe,"  she said in a musical voice, "help your friends into one of the rooms and into bed.  Warrior Saturn, you and I will assist."
     The three picked up the frat brothers, carried them into a hospital room, laid them in the beds, and allowed them to rest.  When this was finished, Alex looked at the other two and said, "I wonder how the others are doing?"

     "Mars Napalm Bolo Engulf!"
     "Mars Firestorm Flash!"
     Jess's and Steve's attacks flew toward three frat brothers.  Unfortunately, the three managed to throw up a force shield which diverted the flames back to their sources.  The two threw themselves to the floor in time to avoid being fried to a crisp.  Once the flames died down the frat brothers powered up for a triple attack.
     "Delta Storm!"
     Twin pyramids of energy formed above the two heroes, and surely would have sent the two to an early grave if not for a single blue rose striking one in the forehead, distracting him from his task and breaking his concentration to the point where he could no longer use his power.  The twin pyramids dissipated, leaving all five to look up.  There, hovering in the air, was a woman dressed in a royal blue fuku, with a skirt magenta.  Her shoes and gloves were of the same color as her skirt, and the bows were a lighter shade of magenta.  Her shoulder - blade length silver - gold hair was held back with a hair band of royal violet.  The jewel in her crown was a star shaped sapphire with a smaller heart shaped ruby inside the star.
     "I'm Sailor Vesta,"  she said, "Neo - Sailor Mars, Warrior Mars, pool your powers to defeat those who oppress you."
     The two stood up, took some scrolls, and chanted.
     "We call upon the powers of Mars.  Fireballs... CHARGE!!"
     The scrolls made contact with the foreheads of the frat brothers, banishing the shadow warriors from their bodies.  Sailor Vesta took a trident and pointed it at the shadows.
     "Triton Strike!"
     Vesta waved the trident through the air, summoning a spray of water and bubbles to defeat the shadows.  With this accomplished, Vesta descended to the floor.
     "Ok, now that the shadows are gone and these people are free, we must get them to bed so they might rest."
     Each picked up a fraternity brother and took them into a room.  They set the people down, pulled the covers over their bodies, and allowed them to rest.  At that moment they wondered how Rei was doing.

     At that very moment Rei was crawling, although slowly, through the space in the ceiling.  All her thoughts were of her grandfather and Chad and what she would do if anyone dared to hurt the two important people in her life.  After a few more minutes of crawling she looked down through a vent to see the room where Chad and her grandpa were.  Seeing that Grandpa was on life support and Chad was fast asleep made her upset.  She kicked the grate, knocking it out of the ceiling and crashing to the floor.  She then grasped the edge and swung out of the ceiling.  She then swung to a good release point, where she flipped through the air and landed in a crouching position.  She got to her feet and walked over to her grandfather.  Gazing upon his unconscious form she began to cry.

     Sailor Ceres, while Adderson and Alex were covering the four students, took her pinging communicator from someplace on her fuku and noticed the light for Pallas was blinking.  She began to leave, but not before the two warriors caught up to her.  They all ran at high speed for where Rei was.

     As Steve and Jess were cleaning up, Vesta's communicator pinged.  She took it out and noticed the light for Pallas was blinking.  She began to leave, but not before Jess stunned her.  Once the other two knew what the rush was about, the three took off for where Rei and Pallas were.

     The two groups met out in front of the elevator and turned down the hallway in the general direction of where Rei headed.
     "What's wrong?"  Adderson asked.
     "Dunno,"  Ceres said, "Vesta, you got any idea?"
     "Not a one,"  Vesta said.
     "I'm getting some bad vibes,"  Jess said.
     "Same here,"  Alex said, "This does not look good!"
     They rounded the final corner and came face to face with a large shadow creature.  Each drew their weapons and prepared to do battle.
     "We gotta wear him... errr, her..... um, ok, IT, down," Alex said, pole vaulting over the creature's head.
     "I'm with you,"  Adderson said, using his gravity powers to float the creature a few inches off the ground.
     Just then they heard seven pairs of feet behind them.  They all turned to see the other seven triple delta brothers.
     "Let us take this monster out,"  one said.
     "We tampered with the dark side, let us fix it,"  a second said.
     "Shall we?"  Adderson asked.
     "Let's,"  the others said, moving to one side.  The seven brothers formed a circle around the beast, leaving room for the other five who had just managed to get to their feet.  The twelve joined hands, summoning the last of their powers.  They hovered in the air, astrological signs appearing on their foreheads.  As this happened the senshi and warriors backed over to where Rei and Pallas were standing.  Alex used his silence wall to protect everyone from the incoming fireworks.
     "What are they doing?"  Vesta asked.
     "They're opening an astral gate,"  Pallas said.
     "What's that?"  Jess asked.
     "We're about to find out!"  Adderson said, "Look!"
     Rays of light shot up around the creature, piercing its darkness and dealing a great deal of pain.  A pillar of light soon formed and the creature was sucked into a dimensional tear.  Then, as soon as it had begun, it ended.  The twelve fraternity brothers released one another's hands and collapsed to the floor.  At that same moment a gateway opened and out stepped Roxy, Jason, Shirly, and Joshua.  They surveyed the mess, then looked at Vesta, Ceres, and Pallas.
     "Sisters!"  Roxy cried upon seeing the others, "What brings you here?"
     "Sisters?"  Alex and Adderson said, looking at one another.
     "We heard from our friend Washu there was trouble so we dropped by to help.  What are you doing here?"  Vesta said.
     "Heard there was trouble and thought we would assist,"  Jason said.
     Just then they heard a moan coming from the pile of bodies.  Adderson, Alex, and Josh turned to see the fraternity brothers stirring.  What was more stunning was that the three warriors knew four of the brothers.
     "Jack, Zack, Rob, Jay, what's up?"  the three asked at the same time.
     "Alex?  Joshua?  Adderson??!"  the four asked in a puzzled tone of voice.
     "Can anyone tell us what happened?"  Jason asked.
     "I can explain,"  Jack said, "we rushed this fraternity and once we were accepted we participated in a strange ritual.  Next thing we knew these shadow creatures took over our bodies.  The final thing I remember we're here using our powers for good."
     "We had better leave,"  Shirly said.
     "Why's that?"  Vesta asked.
     "Because if we don't leave we're gonna end up getting a free shower,"  Ceres said, pointing toward a group of fire fighters.
     "I want to stay with my grandpa,"  Rei said, "you all can leave."
     "I'm taking the scenic route,"  Alex said, kicking a window open.  He waved to everyone before leaping through the air and landing on top of the neighboring parking garage.
     "Hey!"  one of the people said, "He may be contaminated!"
     "I'm with him,"  Adderson said, returning to his mortal form.  He created a gravity bubble around himself and took to the sky.
     "Get back here!"  the fire chief shouted.
     "We're audi!"  Roxy said as she, Steve, Jess, the frat boys, Vesta, Ceres, Pallas, Jason, Joshua, and Shirly entered the portal.  The gateway shut, leaving Rei standing with the rescue personal.  She smiled and said, "Wash me down boys."

     "What a day!"  Alex said as he kicked off his boots.  The then put his feet up on his desk and sat back to rest.
     "You're telling me,"  Adderson said, pulling off his sneakers.  He then lay back on his bed and crossed his legs.  "You know what gets me?"
     "What's that?"
     "You didn't destroy the triple delta house."
     "Ahhh... I left that to Vesta, Ceres, Juno, and Pallas."
     Alex clicked on the tv and turned it to the senshi and warrior satellite channel.  They viewed the four women taking their weapons and pointing them at the building.  Before any could attack, though, Jack moved between them and formed a triangle with his hands.  Energy flowed along the lines of the triangle and at that same instant a triangle of  energy formed around the house.  First fire, then ice, and finally lightning struck the house, beginning the end of the triple delta fraternity.  Juno, Vesta, Ceres, and Pallas then took turns attacking.
     "Flame Slash!"
     "Gravity Cannon Fire!"
     "Triton Strike!"
     "Volt Beam!"
     The final four attacks leveled the building to the ground.  As Alex and Adderson viewed this, the door opened and in stepped Darren, Jordan, and Alison.
     "How was your day?"  Adderson asked.
     "Just peachy,"  Jordan moaned, "First we get stuck in traffic, then the teacher gave a pop quiz on the history of the atom, then we missed lunch, then the car broke down."
     "Great,"  Alison said, "really freaking great!  The bus broke down.  I was late for school, I got a detention, this way cute guy I sit next to and I wanted to go out with is gay, and I got a detention!"
     "I had the worst day ever,"  Darren said, "my car ran me over in the parking lot and I spent most of the day in the nurse's office.  How was your day?"
     Adderson and Alex looked at one another before they burst out laughing.  As the three newcomers looked at each other for an answer, Roxy and Jess barged in, shouting, "Turn it to channel 6!  Turn it to Channel 6!"
     Alex clicked the tv to channel 6, just in time to catch the beginning of the news.
     "This is Rob Bubble, reporting from the Heart of Gold hospital, where earlier in the day a bunch of teenagers pounded  rescue personal to a pulp."
     "Hey,"  Alex said, "they're talking about us!"
     "Shhhh,"  Alison commanded in a hiss, "he's still talking!"
     "These people arrived and when the rescue personal tried to get them away from the chemical spill they were pounded to a pulp."
     The news caster ran footage of Alex's amazing transformation into Warrior Saturn and him kicking a couple people around.  He also ran footage of what Adderson did after he transformed.
     "If you have any information about who these people are, please call the channel 6 news room right away.  In related news, the triple delta fraternity was demolished this evening after members confessed to using dark powers."
     The news caster ran footage of Jack, Juno, Pallas, Ceres, and Vesta demolishing the fraternity.  The five then turned to face the camera and smile and wave.
     "Though they have not been identified, they are at large.  Please contact us if you have any information as to who these people are.  This is Rob Bubble signing off."
     "What a jerk!"  Adderson exclaimed, "We saved the world and he makes us sound like a bunch of maniacs!"
     "Well, we did go in kicking ass,"  Alex said.
     "Whose side are you on anyway?!"
     "I don't take sides!"
     As the two argued, the door flew open and in stepped Jack, Ceres, Pallas, Vesta, and Roxy.  They looked at the argument and asked, "What's going on here?"
     "They're arguing,"  Darren said.
     "This is a first,"  Jordan said.
     "This must be the beginning of something huge,"  Alison said.
     Alex and Adderson both stood up at the same time and charged at one another.  Alex, his mass being greater, plus his momentum being greater, caught Adderson and hurled the two of them onto Adderson's bed.  The two wrestled for a couple minutes before Adderson ended up on top of Alex.
     "What were we fighting about?"  Adderson asked, looking into Alex's eyes.
     "I forget,"  Alex said, "let's never fight again."
     "I feel sick,"  Roxy said.
     "This is so sweet my teeth are rotting,"  Jack said.
     'Let's give them something to talk about,'  Adderson said to Alex telepathically.
     'What do you have in mind?'
     'This,'  Adderson said telepathically.  He turned his head so he could see the others.  He then said, "Kiss me, you fool!"  He then planted his lips on Alex's.  The two then kissed for a whole minute while the others watched.  Once Adderson broke off the kiss he panted, "Baby, you were GOOD!!"
     Sweat drops formed on everyone's heads.  Darren broke out laughing.  Roxy and Jess turned green.  Alison passed out.  Jordan joined Alison in passing out.  Pallas', Vesta's, and Ceres' jaws dropped to the floor.  Adderson and Alex looked at each other before laughing demonically.  As soon as everyone recovered, Roxy asked, "What's so funny?!"
     "We got you good!"  Adderson said, "We were just kidding around!!"
     Everyone fell over at this remark, ending their adventure.
