EPILOGUE THE SECOND

Panel 1

Caption: Ventura, The Gambler's Planet...

Incredible Girl: I can't believe we really got married, Noyd!

Panel 2

Noyd: Right now, babe, I feel like the luckiest man in the world!

Panel 3

Doorman at Casino: Maybe you'd like to try your luck in here, my good man!

Panel 4

Noyd: Shall we?

Incredible Girl: Why not? This is a night to take chances, darling.

Panel 5

*inside casino, IG and PL are amazed by the grandeur*

Noyd: Wow! Get a load of this place!

Casino Employee: Mr. Echad! Certainly a celebrity such as yourself would prefer to take of the V.I.S.* room?

EPILOGUE THE THIRD

caption: Taltar, mansion of Ambassador Thora...

Thora *to vidphone image of Azura*: Oh, lighten up already.

Azura: "Lighten up"? Thora, are you even hearing yourself?

Panel 2

*shot pulls back to reveal Questar giving Thora a pedicure/foot massage*

Thora: All I'm hearing is you, Negative Nancy. Oooh! Reges, be a dear. Do that some more.

Questar: Yes, dear.

Panel 3

Azura: It's EVE, I'm telling you. She's done something to you!

Thora: Oh, Eve-schmeeve. You know Taltarians are naturally immune to Titanian telepathy.

Panel 4

Azura: Naturally resistant, NOT immune. For the love of Hannah, Thora-- you don't even realize that you're a completely different person now!

Thora: Reges, darling... be a dove and fetch me a soda. With two cubes of ice and a lotus fruit slice, as thin as you can get it.

Questar: Yes, dear.

Panel 5

caption: And once the Idol of Planet Zentor has left the room...

Thora: You listen and listen well, Azura. I allowed Eve to think she had control of me. What else was I to do with more than two dozen meta-sentients staring me in the face, a KRYPTONIAN among them? Much like the gambler in the ancient twentieth century tune by that overweight bearded male, Thora of Taltar knows when to hold tham and knows when to fold them. There will be other opportunities. And in the meanwhile, I have a comely, well-muscled planetary champion who desires nothing more than to please me.

Panel 6

Azura: I... I cannot believe this...!

Thora: Believe it. Goodbye. And don't contact me again. I'll contact you.

Panel 7

*Thora turning off vidscreen*

Questar: Your soda, dear.

Thora: Mmmm. Reges, love... be a doll and carry me to my office.

Questar: My pleasure, dear.

Jo-Bob: You say her name was Taryn?

Othar: Are they at it again?

Shower: OmiGAW, with the duh-RAMA!

Treehugger: This is getting a bit tired.

Panel 2

Mzzgrzz: What's so special about Quake Kid anyway? I mean, he's no cuter than any of Dev's other old boyfriends. Why's Dev so nuts for him?

Shadow: C'mon, Mzzy. Shannen's the only one that's ever treated Dev like crap.

Panel 3

Splash: *glaring at Shower* Yeah, and some of us can't help but love the ones who treat us like crap.

Shower: *rolling eyes* Oh, don't you start.

Panel 4

Dev-Em: ...STILL can't believe you hit on Lester. MY ex Lester.

Quake Kid: Oh, get over it. He's cute for a pudgy guy.

Panel 5

Dev-Em: And how do you explain that albino girl? You couldn't wait to paw on her after Lester told you to frag off.

Quake Kid: What's to explain? Man, she was totally exotic. Those antennae were just a major turn-on. She didn't like me, though.

Panel 6

Dev-Em: And that Zombie thing? Spandex Dexter, or whatever his name was. That was just GROSS, Shannen.

Quake Kid: Says you, dude. Dex was like, TOTALLY hot, for a zombie. Kinda brittle, but still a cutie.

Panel 7

Dev-Em: Speaking of brittle, I noticed you eyeing that Brittle Boy, too.

Quake Kid: Oh, Hannah H.! Give it a REST, will you?

Guards: We'll do whatever you say, Apollo...

Panel 3
