The next morning, when Lancex stirred, he felt warmer than usual. And he felt like he was caught between something that wasn't quite metal but wasn't quite human skin either, but something in between the two extremes. Lancex opened his eyes, and then blushed – he was lovingly trapped between Jetfire and Evac, one on each side of him. Lancex had to smile even as he blushed. It was true that the two seemed to have strong feelings for him, or so Lancex could tell.

With a gentle kiss to the cheek, Lancex lovingly woke up each "bot." Evac woke up, smiled and kissed Lancex softly. Jetfire, on the other hand, ripped one, then kissed Lancex softly. "Must you do that?" Evac asked.

"Sorry, changing universes always fouls with my internal parts" Jetfire replied, feeling a bit bad. This had happened before, it was just Jetfire was alone when the gas came and went. Lancex shook his head but smiled. The three soon got up and headed to find some sort of Sustenance.

Meanwhile, in another part of the bar, Sera, Snow, Lightning and hope we're sitting around and chatting, with each hoping to get a chance to ask Lancex a question or two. "Are you for real? Lancex has returned?" Hope asked.

"Yeah, saw him myself last night" Snow answered. "He came back, but not alone. Two of those so called bots retuned with him."

"I hope they will treat him well" Lightning added, and the others agreed, willing to fight these "bots" if they decided to try and harm Lancex. The chatted a bit more, until Lancex and the two flyers came forth. Lancex smiled and began to make breakfast. Even as he worked on the food, he was peppered with questions from his curious friends. Lancex told them everything he knew – what the transformers universe was like, the blackhole, Primus, fighting the war, switching minds with Optimus and then switching back to the right bodies, the end of the war – anything and everything. Evac and Jetfire were there, but only added things when Lancex wasn't sure about the answer or to expand on whatever Lancex said. Lancex's final fantasy friends were extremely impressed.

But there was one lingering question, "how did you get back here?" snow asked, very curious.

Lancex could feel every eye on him. "Well, you see, an ancient legend of multiple universes Slugbug found an almost nonexistent mirror card. It allows me to travel between this univeres and the transformers universe" Lancex explained. the others nodded in understanding.

"So, why arent you crystalized?" Serak asked.

"i almost was, but Evac, Jetfire, and Slugbug and Primus saved me" Lancex explained candidly. Snow nodded, he was also hopeful some day his l'Ce curse would end, but for now, he would deal with it.
