Asuka woke up in her room opening the window she looked at the city that she had been selected to protect. A delicious smell filtered into her room. Her stomach rumbled in hunger. Changing into casual clothes, she exited her room and found Shinji, Rei and Misato. eagerly awaiting breakfast. “Where’s Anthony?” she asked. “In the kitchen, he insisted on making breakfast” said Misato Anthony came into the room with a delicious smelling platter. Removing the lid he revealed scrambled eggs, bacon and two types of sausage “Wow! These are really good” said Shinji “What did you put in hem?” asked Misato “Just some seasoning I picked up while we were in the States” explained Anthony It has been a week since the defeat of Solanos They had arrived back in Japan two days ago. The only problem after Solanos was a small bit of sea-sickness Touji got on the voyage home. “So what are your plans for today?” asked Misato “Nothing really. We don’t go back to school till tomorrow.” said Shinji “Probably heading to the arcade.” said Asuka “Trying to beat Rei’s high score?” asked Anthony “Think you’ll go into shock again?” asked Asuka “With Solanos back in hell I have nothing to worry about. The ghost of my past have been laid to rest.” said Anthony “Speaking of the past. I have presents for you ladies” He stood up and went to his room. Returning with three boxes, he handed one to each girl Rei opened hers to find a silver necklace with a milky blue stone “It’s beautiful!” she exclaimed “Thank you” “Thank Shinji. He picked out the stone and the necklace” said Anthony A mischievous smile crossed her face “I’ll thank him later” Asuka opened hers. Inside she found a beautiful golden broach with a fiery red stone in it “It’s beautiful!” she remarked Asuka leaned over and kissed Anthony on the check “Thank you.” she said Misato opened hers In it was a silver ring with a deep lavender stone in it “How wonderful” she said “Is it?” “An Earthfire stone.” said Anthony Misato’s infamous look appeared on her face “Does this mean we’re engaged?” She leaned across the table “Cause if we are then I can thank you properly later tonight” ‘Uh, I, I, I” stammered Anthony Shinji smiled. The scene remind him of the time Misato ha asked him if he was a picky eater she wasn’t wearing much that time either. Asuka put her arms around Anthony “Don’t even think about Misato! He’s mine!” said Asuka protectively “Aww, can’t I borrow him for a night?” whined Misato Asuka looked at the Jedi in her arms. His face was as red as the stone in her new brooch “I’ll think abut it. You may have to end up taking us as a match set. Two or nothing” Asuka said mischievously That was it Anthony. Blood trickled out his nose “I though that only happened to Japanese guys.” remarked Rei “I’ve been hanging around with you guys too long” said Anthony “Lucky bastard” muttered Shinji “What’s the matter Shinji? jealous?” asked Rei Moving closer she whispered “You know I spoke to Misato about the three of us. She was very interested in the idea. I think she might do it.” Blood flowed out of Shinji’s nose “Looks like we can start our own blood bank” said Misato “Oh shut up Misato.” the boys said in unison. =Malachy’s lair= “Very amusing. But nothing compared to what will happen when they meet?” =What the Hell= Shinji woke up and left his room. His parents had already left for the day. He was alone, for now. Asuka would be there soon and then the whole gang would be there. They were ten strong now, with the addition of Yoko’s new boyfriend. The American Eva Championship team’s second in command, Anthony Draven. they had returned to Japan for a few weeks after wining the Eva championship. Soon they would have to return to America leaving some of their friends behind. Shinji, Asuka, Rei, Kaoru and Yoko would be returning to America to join the Eva all-star team. There they would meet up with some of there American friends Darian Furlan, Kristin Matheson. Anna Smith and Eric Kendrick. It was going to be sad leaving Hikari, Touji, Kensuke and Akane behind. Btu that was life they would see them again soon. Being the all-star team meant that next season world Champions would have to fight them and the remaining members of the American and Japanese Eva team said that they would whoop there friends asses. Shinji for a moment thought of their new friend. He was of average build, with muscle bulges in his arms. His red hair sat in short curls on top of his head. His eyes were a strange mix of brown and green. Around his neck he always wore a gothic cross. He says it was around his neck all his life. Generally he was a nice guy. Shinji smiled. It was wonderful that Yoko now had a boyfriend. However Shinji wondered. Now that Anthony was here it was almost certain he would meet Corey. When that happened the fists would fly. From watching Anthony fight he knew Corey would have a hard time defeating the American. The door bell rang, running to answer it he found Asuka standing there. She wore a smile on her face “Morning Shin-Chan” she said as she kissed him When they broke. “Well Asuka what do you want to do today?” asked Shinji “There’s a new arcade in town, maybe we should go there then head for pilot country.” “Sounds like a plan to me’ said Shinji “I figured later tonight we can celebrate our triumphant return to Japan” said Asuka “Yeah I know how you like to celebrate. At least Yoko won’t be left out this time” said Shinji “Now that she’s got Anthony” “I’m glad Yoko finally found one, I hope those two are as happy as we are” said Asuka as she moved close to Shinji Just then the doorbell rang again “Damn what lousy timing” muttered Shinji Opening the door revealed the rest of their group. “Hey guys” said Hikari “Uh, we come at a bad time?” asked Touji “No, Shinji and I were just waking up.” said Asuka “You guys slept together?” asked Akane “Why not? I’m sure you an Kensuke have had your own naughty nights” said Shinji Akane and Kensuke turned red. Anthony laughed “What are you laughing at Anthony?” asked Touji “I’m surprised you’re still alive.” “Huh?” asked Anthony “Yoko was so eager for a guy I’m surprised she hasn’t killed you” Touji said Yoko blushed with embarrassment. “We Americans have great stamina” boasted Anthony “That you do, That you do.” said Yoko Anthony blushed bright red with Yoko’s comment. “So what is the plan for today.” asked Asuka “I was thinking we should go to the mall and do some shopping together.” said Hikari “Yeah that sounds good.” said Rei “All right then let’s go shopping.” said Akane All of the guys groaned in unison “Quit you complaining guys.” said Yoko “Why is it, that guys always complain!” asked Hikari Touji walked up to Hikari and put his arm around her “Babe we’re guys, if we ever said we wanted to go shopping we would be betraying guys everywhere.” said Touji “Well if you guys come with us I bet we could buy something that you guys would like a lot.” said Asuka evilly The guys all just grinned at each other. “Why didn’t you say that before. Let’s get going” said Kaoru The ten friends left Shinji’s house and went to the mall =A World Twisted= Shinji, Rei, Asuka and Anthony were in the apartment all by themselves. Misato had to go to Nerv for some thing and the four of them were sitting on the floor. Rei was snuggled up close to Shinji. And Asuka was cuddled up close to Anthony. “I’m bored what are we going to do today?” asked Asuka Anthony just gave Asuka a wicked grin “Not that you pervert, well at least not right now.” said Asuka “Hey I have an idea let’s go to the mall.” said Rei Shinji gave Anthony a look of horror. Anthony held up 3 fingers and began to count down. When he was done the 2 of them got up in unison and began to run for the door. “Just were do you think your going?” inquired Asuka “Umm no where.” said Shinji The 2 girls got up and snuggled close to their men. The 2 girls brought there hands up on to the boys chest. For there they let there hands roam all over the guys bodies until they were putty in there hands. “Now if you go shopping with us today Asuka, and I will make it worth your and Anthony’s while. We’ll buy some clothes you will really enjoy.” said Rei seductively. Blood started to trickle from both of the boy’s noses “Oh all right we’ll go shopping with you guys besides, you know Shinji and I could never turn you down.” said Anthony “We know that’s one thing we love about you guys.” said Asuka as she gave Anthony a gentle kiss “I’ll go call the others and we’ll meet at the Tokyo-3 mall” said Rei “Great I can’t wait to go shopping.” sad Asuka =What The Hell= The gang walked along the streets of Tokyo-3 they knew they were going to go shopping but they had no idea where “Hey why don’t we go to the Tokyo-3 mall after all it’s the biggest and the best mall in Tokyo-3.” said Akane “That’s a great idea Akane let’s go.” said Hikari The ten kids walked in the direction of the Tokyo-3 mall. =Malachy’s Lair= “This is so perfect for what I had planed. The 2 of them going to the same place now I can switch them around without them even noticing at all this is going to be hilarious. But who will I switch?” asked Malachy Suddenly a deck of eleven cards appeared each had the face of a child on it. Sliding the first three cards off reveal the faces of Akane, Myna and Yoko “ You three are out of this. You only exist in one world each, but the other eight exist in both” He laid the remaining eight cards out face down, then chose three at random Shinji, Kaoru and Hikari. =In Both Universes= The teenagers arrived at the mall. They were walking down the hall little did they know that at the very same time in another universe a group of teens almost exactly like them was walking down the hall at the same time. Then they were in the exact same place. Everything went fuzzy for Shinji, Hikari and Kaoru in both Universes for a second. Then everything was the way it should be. =Malachy’s lair= “I can’t wait to see how this turns out.” said Malachy =A World Twisted= Shinji opened his eyes he was still in the mall and his eyes sight was back to Normal it had gotten all fuzzy for a bit. He looked around and he could see all the gang. Hikari was hanging on Touji as usual. He could not see Akane on Yoko anywhere which was odd. Then he looked over an saw Anthony with a red headed girl on his arm. He looked closer and he realized that the red headed girl was Asuka. Just what In the hell did those 2 think they were doing. Then he felt a head against his shoulder and he looked down and Rei was snuggling against him. Shinji freaked out and fell to the ground Kaoru was going to kill him. Rei was also knocked over. “Hey what was that for?” asked Rei “No no reason I just got bite by a misquitoe.” said Shinji “Mosquitoes!” said Asuka with a puzzled look. “There haven’t been any mosquitoes in Japan since second impact.” “Yeah well one just bite me.” said Shinji “It’s ok Asuka-Chan you don’t need to jump on Shinji everytime he does something that only remotely annoys you.” said Anthony thought Shinji Kaoru came over and helped him up. Hikari went over and helped Rei up. Kaoru did something really fast with his hands. Shinji and Hikari saw it. It was a signal from when they played Eva. “Guys were are you going because I need to go to the bathroom.” said Shinji “Yeah I need to go to the bathroom to.” said Hikari “I need to go to.” said Kaoru “Well we are going to the lingerie store.” said Myna giving Kensuke a look that made him blush “Hurry back Shinji or else you won’t get to see me trying stuff on.” said Rei seductively Shinji turned bright as the three of them headed off. They were just barely starting to head off when Asuka called after Hikari “Hikari wait up I’ll come with you.” said Asuka “Asuka we don’t always need to go to the bathroom in groups.” said Hikari The 3 people walked off to the bathroom to try to figure what the hell is going on =What The Hell= Shinji opened his eyes everything had went fuzzy for a moment. When he opened them. He was still in the mall and all his friends were around him. Touji and Hikari together. He looked over at his best friend Anthony to see how he and Asuka were doing but Asuka was not on his arm. Some girl with green hair was snuggling up against him. Just what in the hell was going on here. He looked over at Kaoru and what he saw almost sent him over the edge. Kaoru was snuggling with Rei. Just what did he think he was doing. Then he realized that someone was snuggling against him he looked down and it was Asuka. wondered Shinji. He glanced at Kaoru, he too was looking confused. Shinji looked back at Anthony. Besides the strange girl on his arm something else was wrong. It took Shinji a minute before he realize what was missing. A look at Anthony’s waist made him sure. Where was his lightsaber? He’d been around Anthony long enough to know that Anthony always carried it. Even when he was at school, the lightsaber was at the bottom of his bookbag. Weapon detectors didn’t register the lightsabers so Anthony always carried it. Where was it? Shinji checked his own side. His lightsaber hung there as usual. “Shin-Chan” called Asuka “Come on, let’s go to the lingerie store.” “Uh, why don’t you go on ahead. I want to look in the music store for something.” said Shinji “I’m coming too” said Kaoru as he released Rei from his arm “Kaoru” whined Rei “Hey guys hold up” called Anthony as he freed himself from the strange green haired girl “I’m coming too” “Anthony” pouted the girl “I thought you wanted to see me model.” “I do, Yoko” said Anthony with a wicked grin “But it’s better in more private surroundings” That seemed to cheer up the green haired girl. At the music store, Anthony looked through the racks of imported American music while Kaoru and Shinji watched him speaking in whispered voices “Shinji just what the hell is going on?” asked Kaoru ‘I have no clue old friend, Asuka attached to me, that strange girl on Anthony, Rei clinging to you. the only thing that makes sense is Hikari is all over Touji” “Yeah, that’s not Myna with Kensuke “ said Kaoru “It’s more than that. Take close look at Anthony. See anything missing?” asked Shinji Kaoru started hard at the American “Missing?” he asked “Look at his waist.” suggested Shinji Kaoru looked closely. ‘Where’s his lightsaber?” he asked “Exactly, he doesn’t go anywhere without it.” “Just what is going on?” asked Kaoru =World Twisted= Shinji, Kaoru and Hikari stood outside the door to the bathrooms. “What the hell happened back there?’ asked Hikari ‘I have no clue” said Shinji “Why was Asuka hanging on Anthony, where’s Yoko?” “I don’t know, but I would like to know why you were with MY girlfriend” said Kaoru “I have no idea.” said Shinji flatly “Whose that girl with Kensuke? And where’s Akane?” asked Hikari “Something is seriously messed up here” said Shinji =Malachy’s Lair= “Oh they are beginning notice what’s going on I can’t let them notice to soon or else it won’t be any fun I had better switch them back right before they realize what’s up. But I still need to get my laughs.” said Malachy =What The Hell= “I’m going to go ask Anthony about his lightsaber.” said Shinji “You go do that Shinji I am just as curious as to what’s going on as well.” said Kaoru Anthony was by the American CD rack when he found a CD he had been looking for, for a long time. It was an old ICP CD (Insane Clown Posse) thought Anthony “Hey Shinji, Kaoru if you guys are done I’ll meet you at the lingerie store. I know I told Yoko it would be better to model privately but hey I want to see her. And I know you want to see Asuka and you want to see Rei. Right Kaoru?” called out Anthony He then went up to buy the CD. Shinji walked over to him “Ok we’ll meet you there. Oh yeah, Anthony where’s you lightsaber?” asked Shinji Anthony gave him a puzzled look and then answered him “I didn’t bring it with me, its at home. Why? You want to duel a little when we get back to your place? I don’t usually carry it, but yeah I’ll get it.” said Anthony “Ok cool. We’ll duel later then. I’ll see ya at the lingerie store.” said Shinji as he left the mall Anthony stared at Shinji funny as he left why the hell did Shinji just ask him if he had brought his toy lightsaber to the mall That was really weird. Shortly after he left the music and Shinji caught up with Kaoru. “So what did Anthony say?” asked Kaoru “I’m not sure but he does have one, except it’s at home.” said Shinji “But Anthony always has it on him. There is something wrong here.” said Kaoru “Yeah there is, maybe we can find out exactly what at the Lingerie store.” said Shinji The 2 of them went to the lingerie store and Anthony arrived there a minute after they did. “Let’s go see what the girls are up to.” said Anthony The 3 of them went into the store looking for the girls, Touji and Kensuke =A World Twisted= Shinji, Hikari and Kaoru had just finished talking by the bathrooms and they had just barely arrived at the lingerie store. Rei had been waiting for Shinji and Touji had been waiting for Hikari. “Come on Shinji.” said Rei “I have some stuff you have to see me in.” Rei grabbed Shinji by the and dragged him over to a dressing room. “ I think I found some stuff that would look good on you babe.” said Touji Then he looked at Kaoru “I bet it sucks not having a girlfriend Kaoru. Don’t worry I’ll help you find one.” said Touji The statement absolutely confused Kaoru since he was sure that he was going out with Rei. What the hell was going on here. He was completely perplexed and followed Hikari and Touji into the store. =What The Hell= Hikari was with all the girls except Akane in the changing room. Asuka was gossiping as usual but it was odd She was talking about Shinji not Anthony. As long as she could remember Asuka had been going out with Anthony and Rei was talking about Kaoru. And to top it all off there was this strange green haired girl named Yoko who was apparently going out with Anthony. This was really confusing. thought Hikari “So Yoko how are things going with Anthony?” asked Hikari “He’s great. He is the sweetest guy around.” said Yoko At that moment Akane came back into the dressing. “Shinji, Anthony and Kaoru are back.” announced Akane “Great I can’t wait to show Shinji this.” said Asuka pulling out some very sexy bright red lingerie. “And I have to show this one to Kaoru.” said pulling out a blue one “Hey Akane since you still haven’t found anything yet can you tell the guys to wait outside our dressing rooms for us?” asked Yoko Hikari was still confused at what exactly what was going on but there was not much she could do about so she injured she “No problem got get ready and I’ll get them.” said Akane The girls went and got into the changing rooms. Akane ran out to grab the guys. “Come on guys your girlfriends are waiting for you.” said Akane She brought the guys and had them stand in front of there girlfriends changing. thought Shinji thought Kaoru Hikari was inside the changing room changing. thought Hikari =A World Twisted= Shinji, Rei, Hikari and Touji met up with the rest of team Eva right in front of the changing area. “Jeez we were waiting for you guys what took you so long.” said Myna “Yeah we have been waiting here for awhile now.” said Asuka “We were worried you guys weren’t coming.” said Rei “Ok we are going to go get ready now then.” said Asuka As Asuka left she gave Anthony wicked grin and Rei shot a mischievous one at Shinji. Kaoru saw the grin Rei shot at Shinji and it angered him inside but he kept it from showing. They still needed to figure out what was going on. Hikari was confused about what she was supposed to do, she did not have anything to try on. Then Touji came up to her “I picked this thing out Hikari I know you’ll look good in it.” said Touji “Thanks Touji-Chan.” said Hikari As she walked away she thought Then she sighed and walked into the changing room The guys then sat down and waited for about 5 minutes then. “Were ready now guys you can come back and see us now.” called Myna The guys all walked back into the dressing room area and a lady back there led them to the changing rooms they should be at. thought Shinji thought Kaoru Hikari was waiting in the dressing room. thought Hikari =What The Hell= Shinji stood in front of the changing room door waiting for it to open. Then it opened up revealing Asuka in some sexy red lingerie. “Waaaahhhhh!!!!!” shouted Shinji and at the same time thought At the exact same moment Kaoru saw Rei in sexy blue lingerie “Waaahhhhhh!!!!!!!” shouted Kaoru and he thought “What’s the matter you don’t like it” said Asuka and Rei in unison Hikari who was wearing some sexy black thing for Touji heard him say something as she saw that her 2 friends were with the wrong girls she sighed. =A World Twisted= The Doors to this changing room opened and Rei stepped out in sexy blue lingerie. “Waahhhhh!!!!!!!!!” screamed Shinji Kaoru was starting to get really mad. Hikari also noticed that her friends were with the wrong girls she sighed and ignored Touji as he tried to talk to her =Malachy’s Lair= “Ok time to switch them back they are getting way to suspicious.” said Malachy With that, the angel turned Shinji’s, Kaoru’s and Hikari’s cards face down again =In Both Universes= The world went fuzzy for a second for Shinji, Hikari and Kaoru the switch was made. =What The Hell= Shinji got his vision back and Asuka stood before him. “So what’s the matter with it Baka?” asked Asuka “Nothing, Nothing at all.” said Shinji He wrapped his arms around her and kissed her passionately. Kaoru did the exact same thing to Rei. Hikari smiled everything was normal again and that was all that mattered. =A World Twisted= Shinji opened his eyes and Rei was in front of him “So what’s the matter with it.” “Nothing Rei.” said Shinji then he kissed her Kaoru opened his eyes and found himself sitting on a bench he wondered how he got there but then he saw Shinji with Rei and Anthony had on his lightsaber. He smiled to himself everything was jut fine. Hikari also smiled when Shinji kissed Rei =Malachy’s Lair= Malachy had the cards before him. There were now 6 excluded for the game. The other 5 card floated before him and he picked three more at random. Anthony, Rei and Kensuke were chosen out of the deck. “Now it’s your turn.” said Malachy =What the Hell= Anthony had a light fuzzy headed feeling as did Rei and Kensuke Anthony opened his eyes as he hugged the girl in his arms He couldn’t see the girl’s face just her hair. lost in thought he thought Anthony broke the embrace and looked at the girl he was with Instead of Asuka there was a lovely green-haired girl with gold eyes. Glancing around he saw Asuka in Shinji’s arms he thought very confused Anthony then saw Rei hugging Kaoru and some strange girl on Kensuke he thought Rei opened her eyes. She broke the loving embrace and started into the face of her boyfriend. Instead of Shinji she saw Kaoru. “What the?” said Rei alarmed. She pushed away from Kaoru. “What the matter Rei?” asked Kaoru The green haired girl still clung to Anthony, he made eye contact with Rei. Making a slashing motion with his hand, he mouth two words to Rei “Go with it.’ Anthony said silently =World Twisted= Anthony opened his eyes and nearly jumped out of his skin in shock. “Asuka?!” Anthony exclaimed in shock He fell on his back. Asuka practically jumped on top of him. “What’s wrong Anthony?’ she whispered Anthony was nervous during his first time with Yoko. Having his friend’s girlfriend almost on top of him, really unnerved him. “Uh, nothing Asuka.” he stammered. He glanced around. Rei wasn’t with Kaoru, instead she was in the arms of Shinji. Rei, had her head on Shinji’s shoulder, was glancing around too. Kaoru was sitting calmly on the sidelines. He seemed unaffected that was Rei in the arms of Shinji Standing up, Anthony looked at Asuka “That outfit, really shows off your wonderful figure.” said Anthony “But you’d better get dressed before by I lose all control.” “In that case, I’ll buy it.” said Asuka “You can lose control later tonight” “That goes for me too” said Rei as she walked back into the dressing room When the girls had made their purchases the group decided their next move. “So? Where to now? asked Myna as she hung on a visibly shaken Kensuke “Why don’t we get some lunch at the food court” suggested Touji “Is all you think about food?” asked Hikari relieved to see things back to normal “Food sounds good to me,” said Shinji “Uh, you guys go ahead.” said Rei “I want to look for a magazine in the book store” “Yeah, I’m looking for something too. Wait for me Rei” called Anthony “I think the new military magazine is in, I want to get it,” said Kensuke The three teens walked over to the book store. When the rest of their clique was out of site “OK What the hell is going on?’ asked Kensuke. ‘I have no clue” said Anthony “I open my eyes, Yoko is gone and there’s Asuka in that skimpy outfit, I was sure Shinji was going to kill me” “He was to busy feeling me up” said Rei “Yeah, but Kaoru didn’t seem phased by it.” said Anthony ‘Whose that girl on me?” asked Kensuke “She looks a little like Akane, hair and similar build but her face is different.” ‘I heard Hikari call her Myna” said Rei “We’d better go with the flow until we find out just what the hell happened” recommended Anthony =What the Hell= The group moved from the lingerie store “Now where?” asked Asuka “Some food.” suggested Touji “Food is always on Touji’s mind” comment Hikari ‘Only when you’re not” teased Akane The group laughed “OK food court it is,” said Shinji, relieved everything was normal. However Rei spoke up. “Uh I want to look for a new book, if you don’t mind Kaoru” “Yeah, I need to find a magazine” said Anthony “Another distraction?” complained Yoko Anthony turned to her and spoke with false emotion “If I don’t get a distraction, that outfit of your will be on my mind until I can’t control it anymore. And we don’t want that to happen do we?” “Not yet at least” said Yoko seductively. “We should wait until tonight” “Uh, I need to pick up the new military book” said Kensuke “Ok guys, we’ll meet you at the food court” said Kaoru At the Book Store “OK, Any one got a program? I walked in at the middle of the movie” said Anthony “I was about to ask the same thing. Why was I with Kaoru? and what is your girlfriend doing with my boyfriend!” said Rei “I wish I knew” said Anthony “I want to know where Myna is. Whose that girl I was with?” “I heard her name was Akane.” said Anthony “That doesn’t help much” said Kensuke “Hey, I want my Shinji back. said Rei “Kaoru’s nice but...” “I know, you’re hot only for Shinji’s lightsaber” said Anthony Rei paused for a moment as if thinking “It’s gone..’ she said quietly “What’s gone” asked Kensuke ‘Shinji’s lightsaber” said Rei “What about it?” asked Anthony ‘It gone.” said Rei For one crazy second he thought Rei meant something else. “It’s g-g-one? Oh you mean, his lightsaber literally” said Anthony ‘Of course, what did you think I meant?’ asked Rei “I though you meant his, uh, his, well never mind” said Anthony “Look until we find out what’s going on here, we should play along. Now lets get to the food court before they get suspicious” The three baffled children left the bookstore heading for the food court. =Malachy’s lair= The Guardian of the Database was rolling with laughter The look on both Draven’s’ faces had been priceless. Looking away from the view screen he glanced at another “Oh shit, my fun is almost over. Conner’s getting ready to make his move” Malachy walked over to the cards again. “One last time.” He said He replaced the other six cards and turned them all face up. “Now let the worlds meet” he said grinning at the possible outcomes. ===============================================================
