A smile, A laugh, The twitch of a long etheral hand, Thats all thats necessary to turn life from heaven to hell. ********************************************** The Deciever sat upon his throne, thinking, deciding upon his next move in the game of chess that this dimension is to the star gods. The Deciever had not sided with the many warring empires, but had helped and hurt all sides in order to benefit his unknown goals.

There are many theories as to what the star god's subtle planning and deception would achieve, wheiter it was destruction, profit, or simply his own amusment, all seem logical. However what his eventual goals are is irrelivant to this story, all that you need know is that he Deciever is careful to stay unpredictable. Unlike his fellow Nightbringer, who suffered a brutal near extenction from his blunt predictability, but that story will be told later.

At this particlar moment the deciever was bored, the war in the Cadian system had removed all imperial troops that could be spared to assist in combatting Abbadon the Despoiler's latest Black Crusade. He had been watching the battles without interviening for a while now, but the battles were becoming boring. The Forces of order were at a stalemate with the forces of disorder. The battles werent amusing any longer, he needed to make this more......intersting.

But how, there was always the simple solution of sending his necorn warriors to attack the armies, but that would call attention to himself, he wanted to do this without him being known. No, he would use a more subtle way of altering the who has the upper hand in this war. Drag things from another dimension, then enjoy the show as they struggled to return home, assisting him in tipping the scales in the process. Entertaining though it was, it rarley worked, but it would cause chaos, which is entertaining, sure what the hell.

But who, who would be the most entertaining in this situation, his mind briefly lingered on several possible choices. None of the heroes lives who he'd meddled with seemed to be entertaining enough, Spawn was far to morbid, superman was an annoying boyscout who refused to die. In fact none of the heroes who's lives he had tampered with would be interesting, then a thought hit him. An old aquaintance of his by the name of Sweet mentioned a fiasco durring one of his jobs when it turned out his summoner was a man. What was his name, Xander...yes that was it. He had no special abitities...yet, he could change that, a blank slate may be written on, Melbogia owed him a favor after all, what was one less demonic symbiote to him. But one man was no show, maybe a trio? Yes why not, the Slayer would make an enertaining counterpart to Xander. But the third...another world would be where he found the third, he might as well have an extra element of confusion. His mind yet agian wandered agian till a likley candidate appeared, his lip curled, yes..why not he was a machine god, it was oddly ironic, and the explosion that tossed him through the dimensional walls making impractical to send him back to his own dimension, that undoubtedly notify Q of his intrest in that dimension. He could not afford a confilct with an Old One yet. Yes he had his trio, now he will have his show. *********************** A smile, A laugh, The twitch of a long etheral hand, The adventure of a lifetime
