"I want to know exactly what happened here." Janeway stepped away from the scene where Vile had vanished from. "Every possibility, if he's in the Mirror Universe..."

"Nothing that paltry Kathy..." Q appeared.

"Where is he?" Janeway spun, more concerned with her missing crew member than Q's appearance.

"Beyond my reach." Q shrugged. "Unless you want me to start a war with the Scions."

"Considering the power he levied her to take Vile..." She shook he head. "What can you tell us?"

"The Scion has a need for him. He made a mistake elswhere and thinks the beast can help." Q sighed. "And in his own way he's likely not wrong." The powerful being shook his head. "He will be back Kathy, the Scions are terrifying and more powerful than even the Continuum, but like our rules transcend human understanding their rules transcend our understanding. They don't destroy like this though, if this was maliciousness you wouldn't be alive."

"How comforting for person they just kidnapped." Janeway gritted out and turned to Tuvok. Q took the time to quietly vanish.

"I will begin an investigation as soon as we are all cleared by the Doctor." Tuvok said. "The room is currently filled with an odd radiation."

"Oh, great." Janeway sighed and rolled her eyes. Then tapped her com. "Chakotay, you have the bridge for while, I'm likely going to be decontaminating."

"Captain?" Was the confused response.

"It's a long story, but Vile's been kidnapped and we've just been slowed in a method to retrieve him."

"Captain, what's going on?" Chakotay was more demanding in his tone.

"Chaos." She sighed the single word.

I coughed and sputtered as I awoke in a clearing on the edge of a forest. It was calm and peaceful. Serene.

"Hiya." The cheerful face of the Scion of Chaos popped into my plane of vision and the calm came to a crashing halt.

"Whoa! Calm down, no worries you're safe." It smiled. "You're in my reality."

"Bullshit." I looked around, the world was still calm.

"Chaos doesn't mean shit flying about everywhere. "That's just a chaotic scenario." It nodded. "People have some weird ideas though and it helps to play to them sometimes, well most of the time." The green sheen over it's eyes faded as it looked to me. "I need your help."

I scoffed, then laughed. "And you kidnap me toss me into a random universe after having a bomb explode on me and expect me to help?"

"Yeah that was shitty timing on my part." It rubbed the back of it's head. "Look I know you don't like me and you have plenty of reasons to do so, so I'll make you an honest deal." I laughed, it frowned. "Help me and I'll never show up in your world while you or family exist. And yeah I mean the one you've been living in with the pretty bajoran and your clone."

"What the hell could I possibly help you with?" I grimaced as I realized I was considering the offer.

"I made an even bigger mistake. I let a friend get to depressed and now he's tearing apart a world I love." The view of a blue piece of candy being swarmed by ants came into my mind. "He's fine now, but the infestation is there and I can't fight it."

"Why not?" I asked, confused for the moment.

"The creatures take the hearts of living beings and turn them into monsters. "IF they take our hearts..."

"So you're afraid that these things will turn you or the others of your kind into some horrifying monsters?" I blinked.

"Yeah..." He seemed confused and human, legitimately human for the first time. I couldn't help but burst out into raucous laughter. "Am I missing something this time? I mean I usually get the joke..."

"You're a Goddamned moron." I managed to get out between barks of laughter. He frowned. "No, seriously, you're a concept aren't you?"

"Well partially..." He went to explain, but I continued to laugh louder.

"How can a concept have a heart or soul or whatever?"

"Because it keeps us grounded to the mortal beings we're supposed to watch out for, to make sure their worlds are safe!" He barked in anger.

I stopped laughing. "The stop cowering and defend it." The mood for me switched at normal pace, the Scion though was quite surprised, especially when I stalked closer to him. "You are the living embodiment of Chaos. CHAOS. That which simply happens and you're afraid of what amounts to bugs?! If that's the case maybe I shouldn't be so afraid of you!"

My face was inches from his own and our eyes were locked, the nature of them finally being revealed to me. Each eye a constant changing visual of multiple galaxies as seen through the eyes of their inhabitants. I pulled away as something began to overwhelm me.

"You ok?" He asked.

"Fucking hell." I groaned trying to fight off the nausea.

"Oh right, don't do that it's bad for your health." He seemed to be back to normal, then suddenly became much more sullen. "You're right though. I have to fight for them..."

"Ok...I stood up shakily. "So send me back."

He seemed about ready to do so then pulled out a device. "But this is only chapter Seven..." HE stood for a moment and seemed to think. "Oh I know! FORGE!"

A portal opened and darker skinned young man with several devices of his own fell through. "Oh god no! I didn't mess with DM's computers!"

"I know, I need the dimensional traveling device you guys use." He smiled.

"Why?" The young man asked, then noticed me. "Oh hey Vile." I blinked, confused but he didn't seem to notice.

"Not the one you've met Forge." The Scion smiled as he appeared on the other side of the young man. The young man was unphased. "Can't you just send him..."

"Forge I'm on a tight schedule and the more we talk the more someone somewhere else needs to credit another someone, so please, the device. I'll get it back for you."

"Ok, ok..." Forge, it seems, shook his head and picked up one of his devices that had a large crack in it. Then he pulled out a few tools and fixed it. "There, can I get back now, the Turtles just got their asses kicked and I wanna make some armor for Leo."

The Scion grabbed the device, looked it over and smiled. "Sure thing Forge..." He waved and the young man vanished. Then he held out the device for me. "Six trips to six other realities and it'll blink with your reality and send you there." He smiled.

"Ok..." I took the device carefully. "And you'll stay away?"

He barked a laugh, "That wasn't the deal."

Then the green one, Death, appeared just as I activated the device. "Do tell dear Jubal, I'm not one to be escaped from twice."

"Wait, what?" I asked as the reality around vanished into a shimmering tube of oscillating light where I was moving forward at incredible speeds. I was screaming as I came barreling out and very confused when I hit a large metal surface that began talking.

"MEGATRON SOMETHING IS ON YOUR FACE!" A voice shouted.

"I am aware." The voice attached to the metal responded.

"Oh crap..." I groaned.
