Welcome to Gaia! ::

Chazz was now paying a bit more attention. Finally some action. He asked, "Did Duke try and take his revenge? Oh please tell me that grandpa Terry stepped in! Or was it Uncle Rock?"

Both his saiyan and vampire tails were wagging with excitement.

Dee then tilted her head then said, "Well, the way I remember it, Lien came to Terry's apartment and Rock was in bed with a nasty cold that morning. Terry had to go to work, so I was stuck with Rock. Not that I minded. But, I do recall Lien buzzing us and I ended up talking with Lien. She said and I quote, How dare that Alba double cross me! He picks up another chick while he's dating me? I will see to it that he'll be my next target."

Trunks then said, "I remember that! I came over that day too, but only for a small bit. So, yeah, Alba is right, Lien did dump him, but... according to your laws, mom, Alba should have been sent to Heneroshi's Island for cheating on Lien. How does that work again, your laws on cheating?"

Dee was sort astounded at the brilliant point that Trunks had made. "Well, Lien could have done that, but she chose not to. Alba did break my laws on relationships, but it was a complicated relationship, because if what Alba said was true about what happened next in the story, then... Alba was merely defending himself, which is okay."

Dee nodded, "Yeah, I know. However, Alba, you should consider yourself fortunate that Lien didn't use the fact that you were falling for Lily as a banker to get you sent to prison, because that's where you would have gone if Lien would have chosen to assassanate you properly. It would have been faster. Oh well, at least we know that Lien is no more, right? If I remember correctly, it wasn't until the 2007 tournament that we took care of that, all of us, I mean."

Will, who had been half-listening said, "All right, Alba! Whoo!"

He saw his foster mother give him a look, which made Will blush a deep red.

Amelia just giggled. Amelia Bogard was William's daughter from a lady named Corrine. Corrine was said to have been killed in battle. She, Amelia also known as Amy was an expert bug catcher and trainer.

Amy then said, "You always knew how to make me laugh, Mom."

Will blushed even more to hear that his daughter was happy.

Will accepted the kiss lovingly, then he said, "No, no, that's okay, I'll go check on Lun' Mara. If anything, Lun' Mara has found a place for a good cat nap. Storytime always makes him sleepy. You know that."

The young-looking guardian of 19, 000 children had wandered into the kitchen and just as Will thought, Lun' Mara was curled up on a sack of flour that he likely bounced up to get, and was fast asleep. The flour was all over the floor and it took a lot not to laugh.

He managed to sweep up the flour and return for the next part of the story.
Before the others continued with the story, Will whispered to Lust, "Lun' Mara is sleeping on a sack of flour."

Hearing what Lun' mara was doing made Dee laugh out loud. She said, "pardon the interruption, Lily, Alba, Soiree, Vega, but I can sooo picture what Lun' Mara did. Oh, Lun Mara was that purple Panther that wandered in shortly after William and his parade of children entered. Lun Mara likely sat like a good kitty, wiggled his butt a bit to gain some spring-like action, and then he leaped to one of the high shelves knocking over a sack of flour. As the now open sack of flour hit the floor, a spray of flour hit Lun' Mara's nose causing Lun to sneeze! Then what he did is, he stretched by the flour bag that was still emptying, then he yawned, curled up onto the bag, lowered his head, closed his eyes and fell asleep."

As the power returned, Dee felt a shiver run down her spine. She said, "Alba, do you feel that negative power as I do? Its strong and I have a feeling we'd better deal with it before it snags your wife back and we have yet another crisis in Southtown related to the Orochi warriors. They are after Iori and Ash, I bet and they know of Lily's power. And unlike Iori and Ash who are resistant to the negative force, your wife is drawn to it."

Dee dashed outside and noticed Shermie who bore the mark of the white flame! Lighting her own green flame, Dee said, "Bearer of the white flame, what business do you have here? I of the Green flame Orochi resistance Army ask you this. If you are after Iori Yagami, I am afraid that you will have to get passed me to get to him. As for you, Mrs. Meira, how dare you try and destroy South Town when Alba worked his tail off to try and save it! You owe your horns to Alba and you dare turn against him?! Lily, you get inside while I deal with this evil force."

The power of Dee Bogard was more vibrant than ever. Trunks felt it and he whispered to the half-asleep Zane, "Zane, there's trouble outside and mom is dealing with it solo while trying to save Alba's wife at the same time."

Zane sort of stirred, but then said, "So? What do we have to worry about?" He yawned loudly.

Trunks then knew what was going on as he had seen sooo many of his family going to sleep. "Ahh!" Trunks exclaimed! "The food, it had sleep powder in it or something! I must do..."Then Trunks was fast asleep also.

(A twist to this tale. What if Ash was still on the side of evil and he just suckered Sangcun to join him in his own way?)

(Will named two of his kids after Golucard and Vegitatchi because their names went well with the last name of Bogard. Golucard Bogard sounds like a smooth jazz kind of a kid and Vegitatchi Bogard sounds viciously tough)

Dee then asked, "Then how come does this one with the white flame have such an evil aura then? Is there... was there something in the food that is messing with my senses?"

Just then, Dee's flame went out and she collapsed in the snow.

(Tee hee hee, another new twist to this. Now isn't this getting exciting?)

Lily was just about to answer the question but Dee had passed out.

Shermie said " Is she always like that?"

Lily picking up Dee " What passing out like this or how she was before she passed?"

Shermie getting the door for Lily " Before she passed out"

Lily replied " Yep Though I've learned how to deal with. So what will the Orochi do if he can't get me to join him."

Shermie shrugged " I don't know. It must have something to do Jivatma and Addes. He only explained that to Vice and Mature."
