Welcome to Gaia! ::

He grits his teeth " fine.....i will never return to this galaxy again " he growls. Star sighs and she smiles softly huggin Yugi tightly. " Thank you my love.....you and Corrigan saved us all..."

Star takes a deep breath " so now what?" she asks as peter leaves.

The dragon sat there waiting ever so patiently for her lover to return. She had gather up some of the supplies they need for this project. She glance over at the crumbled up newspaper that told of yet another pathetic excuse of a story about her sorry daughter. She snorted at the thought of that child and her pathetic lovers.

Thomas soon met up with his wife and said with his Dwarven accent, "So sorry, my peach. Lady Moira will do nothing to help our cause with our boss's intentions on revenge against our sorry excuse for a daughter. By the way...how is our other daughter Dawn doing?"

(Dawn is Dee's sister and is in Thomas's and Diana's eyes as perfect. They favor Dawn over Dee. This development or question will have nothing really to do with the current plot, unless we want "Dawn" to be doing things of her own to sabotage Dee's rule as perhaps the jealous younger sister.)

Meanwhile Yugi nodded as he found Joey stocking shelves. "Joey, we're back. So, was business good while we were away?"

"Afraid not, Yug. Been quiet as a mouse around here. I did get one customer, but it was just one of the regulars who we have stuff on hold for all the time."

Just then, a loud rumbling noise came from nearby. It got louder and louder until the building started to quake a small bit. When the noise ended, it was more of a popping sound like a small bubble from gum bursting. The entire time the noise had gone on, Yugi was gripping his tummy and blushing redder and redder until when at the popping sound his face was the color of the Cherry Yamato card.

(My over and elaborate way of saying that Yugi is getting hungry)

Thomas nodded, "Aye, we cannot abandon our mission even though things did not go as we planned. We must figure out a way that we can kill this new revived Ice Yagami and take care of what the boss wants of us. Of course, that could take longer than what the boss allowed for us. Plus, it is likely that Dee would be on to us or at least whom we hired to kill Ice the first time."

Just then, one of Thomas's underlings, one of the spies who was keeping an eye on the situation said, "I have news on what might help you in your quest, Master..." He said in a wheezing, ghoulish voice, "Apparently, Yumi Yagami is pregnant with Sasuke's child and Iori doesn't like the fact that this has happened. Sasuke has claimed that he will be responsible for the outcome, but has yet to make an official declaration of marriage. I thought that this news might come in handy."

(I think I found a way we can go about that Ice Yagami plan after all. Just because someone was killed once doesn't mean that they cannot die again. You forget there is a two week window where a patient must get used to the new parts installed before that particular patient will function just as well, if not better than before. In addition, we might be able to re-ignite the rage within Iori's heart this way too over and above what we already have set in motion.)

" I highly doubt she knows. One of the Underlings who works at the hospital said that she checked herself in. She came down with some weird illness and is on bed rest" Diana said. She thought about the new piece of information they had been just given" It would give us somewhat of an advantage. He'll be too busy with that to look after Ice."

Thomas nodded, "Aye, that it is. Good work. Take this and get your self some beer basted boar ribs for your trouble," he said to the minion.

Turning to his wife, Thomas said, "Now all we gotta do is get someone to kill Ice for good without anyone else knowing. Perhaps we can have our minion working in that hospital do it for us. We can have him phone up Ice Yagami personally and fabricate some sort of complication with Ken's revival process although we both know it was completely flawless as usual. Then, that same minion will lie to Ice again when Ice is brought to his room and tell him that Ken is off duty. That's when the minion will do what he needs to do to be sure that Ice dies. And by the time Ken realizes what happened, not only will Ken's flawless revival record be tarnished, but he will be facing a murder charge as well! That minion will make sure of that also and lie and say that Ken was the one who told him to do everything and resulted in that death. Ken's rep as a street fighter will shine more than his rep as a doctor."

Meanwhile, Yugi belched first, due to the hunger, apologized for the rudeness then replied, "Yeah, good idea. I hadn't realized just how many meals I missed due to that encounter with Peter."

(Great post Terry!)
