They were like goddesses or witches, able to make things happen in the blink of an eye... and the men felt weak and insecure in their comparatively powerless state. And the girls made light of it and made fun of the situation and pushed it. Almost toying with them. The huge hulk of a man Pearce Monancahol was shrunken to doll-size by his girl Challen-67. Oily Duncer-Haxun was turned into a monkey by his girl Prefer Joanie Hugging. And Perspective Quartz Mahoney was turned into a giant floating head by Darnalt Knocking Salt. These were just some of the games the girls would play when their power and playfulness were at their peak. And the guys couldn't blame them, because they were wild adventurers with the central mission of HAVING FUN. But Omothopberg changed all that. The girls were still giddy with power and fun when the six found the dimensional warp in the Omothopberg swinging ladders of transport, and they were back to their own world of May Canada. And then the girls found out that their magic was no more, and that they were stuck as belt, lighter, and sunglasses. At first it was fun. Like, the boys making fun of the girls, like, the shoe is on the other foot and all that. But soon the horror of it sunk in, and it all lost its fun, and they realized things wouldn't work out in a fun way as usual. "Darnalt..." Mahoney said softly. "I think we could have stopped the nature lovers, if we had stayed here in May Canada and not gone off adventuring on all those alternate worlds." And Darnalt squirmed in his hands. "FUCK NATURE!" Mahoney bellowed, and he was stunned to hear a hearty echo. He grabbed his right ear and opened it like a door. Inside was a little room, with six tiny people, who were copies of the six adventurers, looking with fright and amazement out of the ear-doorway, the girls fully human. Darnalt Knocking Salt, the sunglasses, leapt into the air with a start. Mahoney giggled insanely and mumbled "Backup copies... backup copies... memory BURIED in the deepest darkest weirdest corners of my mind... memory set loose... by the start OF THE FINISH!" Everything around him began to shake... the slides and the backdrops and the walls and everything... "Darnalt... die, Darnalt... die and make a dimensional doorway... we have no hope... but these backup copies... I made them in a wild dimension two years ago... before Omothopberg and before all of that... become a doorway my love, that I may rip off my head and toss it into a new world, that we all might live again, like it once was, like when it was FUN!" Darnalt Knocking Salt snapped in two and blurred into a pulsating black disk. Mahoney let out a chaotic groan as he ripped off his head and threw it through the circular dimensional portal. He did that just in time. Right after the head passed through the portal, the portal closed and the entire world of May Canada was shredded as the final equations of physics were scrambled by nature, a nature bent on annihilating mankind even if it meant annihilating herself as well. And May Canada was gone, but the six adventurers had escaped, escaped as they always knew they would, to have more FUN. -------> ------------------- ----------- -------- -- -----
