After a weird, Star Trek-y transporting sensation, Kane found himself
standing outside his castle near the still unfinished NFR construction
site.

He shook his head to clear the cobwebs and said, "That was rather....
anticlimactic.  Oh well, at least I once again successfully avoided
having to participate in an actual fight scene."

It was about time that he noticed his castle.  His jaw dropped as he saw
the huge carnival taking up one side, the swimming pools on the other
side, and neon lights stretching as far as the eye could see.  A huge
sign reading "Hotel Magus" was spinning leisurely atop the former
castle.

"Wha....?" he said as he took in the gaudy spectacle.  He felt someone
tugging on his pant leg and he looked down.

"Speedie speedie speedie!" said an angry Speedie Speedie.  This roughly
translated to "How dare you rip off the NFR with this lame cop-off?"  Of
course, Kane didn't understand her.  Pikachu sat nearby, staring at Kane
with lightning flickering over his body.

Kane looked dully back at his castle.  "What have they done to my
beautiful castle...." he whimpered.  "Who has done this...?"

In a flash of anger, he decided that he was going to find out.

Storming inside, he grabbed the first NO he encountered and shoved him
into a corner.  "Who dares to defile my castle!" he seethed.

"Uh.... office.... I think...." the NO said.

"Huh?" said Kane.  Then he turned on his heel and walked away.  Speedie
Speedie and Pikachu followed him.  The NO breathed a sigh of relief and
started back on his path just before a large glob of Jello fell from the
ceiling and crushed him.

Kane muttered to himself as he opened the door to what used to be his
control room.  "I will kill whoever did this!"

"Oh you will, will you?" said a voice from inside the room.  "And why?"

Kane stopped dead in his tracks.  Before him, TK|M sat behind a large
oaken desk.

"You?  You did this?" said a flustered Kane.

"Sure, I did.  I came back and saw that construction on the NFR was
going nowhere, so I borrowed some of the OSDF NO's and put them to work
here.  When the NFR ever gets completed, this'll be just another wing of
it."

"Why....."

"I got sick of your gothic, monsters around every corner crap," said
TK|M simply.

Kane sat down heavily in a large plush chair and sighed.  "Whatever....
I don't care anymore.  Do whatever you want, just don't blow it up.  I
don't think I can take the Highlander thing right now.  By the way,
where've you been all this time?  Where are Mamoru and the others?"

"They're downstairs lounging around.  They've been through a lot
recently.  After the NFR disappeared, he and all the clones fell into a
deep sleep.  For some reason, I had the urge to destroy the entire
world.  I fought it off and decided to keep watch over them while they
slept.  Only just know did they wake up, muttering something about a
'rebirth.'  Probably remnants of Hotaru left over from that infernal
switchie thingie the Darkmoonians had.  They're fine now."

"You knew about that?" said Kane.

TK|M shrugged.  "Of course.  Now why don't you run along now.  Go check
out the place.  I've got some stuff to take care of."

Kane ignored the fact that he was being kicked out of his own command
room and said absently, "Come awong, Speedie Speedie.  Wet's go meet
unca Mamowu."  Then, realizing that he was speaking in baby, he slapped
himself across the face twice to snap himself out of it.  He shook his
head and said, "I've been around Grub too long."

A few minutes later, they arrived at the pool where Mamoru, Darien, and
the others were lounging around the pool.

Kane looked down to say something to Speedie Speedie when he realized
she was gazing at Mamoru with hearts in her eyes.

Mamoru walked over to them and said, "Hey, Kane.  I like what you've
done with the place, but I think Speedie is going to be angry when she
finds out.  She...."  It was then that he realized Speedie Speedie was
hugging his leg.  He reached down and picked her up.

"And who might you be, little one?" he said.  "Wait a minute, you look
awfully familiar...."  He looked at Kane and said, "Is this....?"

TBC....?
