Rose got up and turned toward Azreal. "Now--what have you done to my daughters? Lime is SIX centimeters taller and more mature looking. Sunshine has breasts and---" "BREASTS?" Lime shouted and turned to Azreal and crossed her arms in front of her chest. "Are you some kind of PERV? I was gonna say if you and your wife are both dead , maybe you two should go haunt a house, but I kept my mouth shut! But is what you're doing...?" Rose clamped a hand over Lime's mouth. Rose sighed,"IF I may continue?" Lime nodded. "What ever you are doing--I NOW want a thorough explanation!" Azreal said,"When the adult Sunshine used time-travel to come back with a warning of the horror that the Four Brother were going to visit to the inhabited worlds... things were set into motion. Because the time-displacement was relatively low, I was able to alter their temporal potential to a level they can survive. I'll have to wait until China is older until I can safely alter her's. It's insanely complicated, but I tried with Kella, but I don't think she understood." Rose said,"I'm not Kella. Try me." Toxic exclaimed,"HEY! I'm not Kella, EITHER! I'm taller." Snowflake laughed,"Go back to playing with your name!You aren't even a rocket scientist." Neblae said,"I AM a rocket scientist. Impress me." Azreal sighed,"I have to walk a fine line between not enough and to much information. Travelling through time causes energy to build up that might be compared to static electricity. When the adult versions went back to ancient Camelot and then forward to Balam, eight months ago, they discharged that energy into the younger versions of themselves. Prince, being a Druaga is immune. His body can adapt to the energy's destructive nature. NON-Druaga CANNOT. My alterations in Lime and Sunshine will prevent them from Spontaneously Combusting in the near future." Rose looked over at Neblae. She shook her head and sighed,"If you wanted me NOT to know the secrets of time-travel, you succeeded! That lame-ass explanation just SUCKED!" Toxic exclaimed,"I KNOW the secret of time travel!" Measure exclaimed,"This will be priceless!" Toxic said,"If you do it, wear fire-proof pants or the next time you fart, you might explode like an atom bomb and set fire to your butt!" There was guffaws of laughter from all but Azreal,Rose and Kibo. Neblae said, wiping an eye,"Sounds good as HIS lame explanation!" Azreal said,"If I had NOT done what I did--their probability lines might have ABRUPTLY... TERMINATED. China has a more robust potential as a baby, and can take longer to correct. Sunshine and Lime are VERY high energy and more likely to take action that will result in abrupt termination. More than that, I will not say." Rose nodded. "Finally an answer I can understand. Thank you for the lives of my children,sir." He said darkly,"I know about sacrifices and children. You have a lot to discuss. Forgive me. I am needed elsewhere." He vanished away like dreams in the morning light, leaving a cold chill among them. Rose turned to Kibo, who smiled,"He's a PROFESSIONAL man-of-mystery! ALL others are just cheap imitations! BELIEVE ME!" Toxic exclaimed,"SO! Snowy, you gonna shack up with Kael now you got two eyes? You the big chicken hold out!" Snowy said, "I never found out about the 'two eyes' thing!" Kella said, "We found out. You have a psycho-stalker fan among the Erhlutians who's coming to carry off 'the CYCLOPS love of his life.' If you have two eyes, like the rest of us, you're dog meat!" Toxic said,"Some dogs are real tasty if cooked just right." Lime and Measure went, "OOOH,YUCK" and made faces. Kibo asked Rose,"Are they always like this?" Rose nodded, as Snowy exclaimed,"L'GO my NAME TAG YOU GOOF!" and chased off after Toxic who had a firm grip on it. Mi'i laughed and pointed. Lime took off yelling after Toxic. Rose said,"You have no idea." Kibo nodded."That vitality will aid us greatly." --TO BE CONTINUED!--
