Dragonien: hurray the second chapter. I'm really sorry this is taking so long I'm having problems with my computer correctly uploading the chapters to fan fic it keeps trying to cut pieces of the text out.

Shikamaru: dude they don't care just let them read the story.

Dragonien: put a sock in it I'm trying to give our viewers a bit of information.

Shikamaru: (hits Dragonien over the head with a metal bat) ok that should take care of him for a bit. Remember we don't own any of the shows we've taken elements from yada yada. On to the story.

The Genius of Insanity: The Beginning

Chapter 2: Normality Restored... Sort Of

Darkness...

Darkness...

All around him all Randy could see was total, complete, encompassing darkness. He frantically darted his head from side to side, looking for any means of escape or at least figuring out where he was. From the deepest reaches of the darkness around him Randy heard a loud Popping sound that echoed infinitely around him. There was a bright flash of light and when Randy was able to see again he saw that he was in some kind of super high-tech laboratory. There was another loud pop accompanied by a flash of light and the entire female cast of Tenchi Muyo appeared and started doing an Irish step dance to music who's origin was unknown. "What the hell is going on here?" Randy said out loud. Everyone immediately went silent as they noticed the intruder. "Uh oh...' Randy said to himself. He started to slowly back away and, tripping over a wrench that was lying on the ground, fell into some kind of capsule machine thing. The door silently slid closed with a hiss and the capsule was filled with a weird smelling purple gas. "wha... whats going on?" Randy yelled.

Randy was starting to have trouble breathing when what felt like an electric surge went through his body. The surge was followed by another and another and another continuously, each stronger than the last. The electric surges were slowly changing Randy, making him slightly skinnier, changing his eye color from brown a dark sapphire blue. His hair was probably the most noticeable change. It was growing very long from Randy's near buzz-cut short hair to well past shoulder length and making it an even brighter shade of red. He didn't really notice at the time but he no longer needed to breath. The surging feeling suddenly disappeared as fast as it had started. The capsule door slid open, releasing the remaining gas with a silent hiss. What the hell just happened? Randy thought to himself. "YOU BASTARD WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY MASTERPIECE!" Washu screamed. She pulled out what looked like a giant high-tech bazooka and fired right at Randy. Randy threw his arms out before him like a shield in a worthless attempt to protect himself. If only the missile wouldn't hit me He thought to himself and miraculously his wish came true. The missile went flying right through him into some extremely flammable chemicals behind him. Just as the explosion was about to envelope Randy he disappeared in a small flash of light. "What the hell?" Ryoko said in confusion was a mysterious robed figure lurking in behind some equipment disappeared into the shadows.

:Somewhere deep within a dense forest:

"Where in the heck am i?" Nick said aloud while aimlessly wandering through the forest's dense foliage. He didn't notice the steep hill on the other side of a bush as he brushed past and began tumbling downhill dangerously fast. "AHHHHH" Nick yelled as he continued rolling down the hill until he finally came to a stop, hitting his head on a tree. "ouch that hurt." Nick said. He looked up and noticed that the tree he had run into was sitting at the base of a small straw hut. Oddly convenient for there to be a hut out here in the middle of nowhere he thought to himself. Nick decided to go inside to the hut and rest for it looked to be abandoned long ago.

Inside the hut was very plain. Nothing more than a small straw bed sat in one corner and a wooden table in the middle. Both were covered in an extremely thick layer of dust. The odd thing was the item sitting on the table. It was what appeared to be a metal headband with a bunch of different symbols on it. Among others there was the symbol for sand, leaf, stone, mist, and sound. Normally it wouldn't have been a cause for so much attention but it was the only thing in the whole hut that was completely clean. There wasn't a single speck of dust or anything else to be found on it. whats this? Nick thought. He reached out and picked up the headband only to be thrown to the ground by an earthquake. "whats going on?" nick yelped. The table that the headband had been sitting on was sinking into the ground. "oh no a trap!" nick yelled in realization.

He ran outside only to be face to face with a giant boulder. "AHHHHHH" nick screamed as he started to run for his life from the giant rolling boulder. Despite nick running as fast as he could the boulder was quickly catching up with him and would soon make him into a human pancake. Just as he was about to be flattened by the boulder he disappeared in a flash of light and in his place was nothing that a pair of jeans that looked very familiar. "Thats two" a familiar robed figure said in a deep male voice before fading into the shadows.

:Somewhere in a hidden underground temple:

"Damn i can barely see a foot in front of me" Cory whined in aggravation. He had been stumbling around in the dark for a over an hour. Sheesh wheres a flashlight when you need it? Cory asked himself. As he was walking forward he began to notice a steady climb in the amount of light in the cave. maybe I'm nearing the exit of this damned cave he thought hopefully. Unfortunately when he reached the source of light he was disappointed to find that it wasn't the exit but some kind of torch lit alter with a giant Ruby mounted on a marble base in the center of the circular cave."oh shiny" Cory said while staring at the ruby. He began to slowly walk towards it with an arm reaching out as if to touch it.

NO! an unknown voice screamed causing the sound to echo all around the chamber. "who's there?" Cory asked, the scream having snapped him out of his trance. "TURN BACK... turn back... turn back..." the voice echoed again. "why should i?" Cory asked rather rudely than how most people talk to disembodied voices. "IT IS NOT YET TIME" the voice responded. "What the hell is that supposed to mean?" Cory replied, his annoyance obvious. "IT IS NOT YET TIME" the voice repeated. "screw you" Cory said and he ran over to grab the gem.

As soon as his hand touched the surface of the gem his entire body started burning. "AHHHHHH" Cory yelled out in pain. His whole body felt like it was on fire and it sort of was. Small bits of flame were being emitted from Cory's body as it changed. It started with his hair. All of his hair fell out all over his body. His body began to grow both in height and in power. He became well over 8 feet tall and very muscular ripping through most of his cloths (thank god his underwear survived that part). Next was the scales. His entire body was quickly covered in bright red scales. His finger and toenails fell out as they were replaced by scales and both his toes and fingers grew wicked looking, razor sharp claws. Then a bigger pain shot through his back as his shoulder blades felt like they were splitting in two. And they were! a pair of bright red wings ripped themselves out of his back destroying what little of his shirt was left. His shoulder blades had in fact split to accommodate his wings. A sharp pain just above his buttocks signaled that something was happening there. Cory twisted his head around a bit just in time to see a scale-covered tail burst out of his hindquarters and rip a hole in the back of his undergarments. Next came the head. His face began to slowly stretch forward into a more reptilian shape. He had a snout! his new, longer mouth then grew razor sharp, dagger-like teeth. Two black horns sprouted out of his head and grew back behind his head. The burning intensified as his insides began to shift around and change. He could feel his internal organs changing, shifting. He even grew a couple of new ones. The last thing to change was his eyes turning from their normal pale blue color to a bright emerald green. Then as rapidly as the burning had started it was gone.

Cory shakily stood up and almost lost his balance even though his tail was helping him balance. "Ok what the hell just happened?" Cory said and noticed that his voice was now much, much deeper. "YOU HAVE DISTURBED THE RUBY NOW YOU MUST BE PUNISHED" the disembodied voice said. Suddenly a huge ball of fire shot out of the Ruby and sped straight for Cory. Out of nowhere a robed figure appeared in front of Cory and waved his hand. The fireball flew to the side as if the robed figure had just pushed it aside. "now is not the time young one there is still much for you to do" the robed man said and with a wave of his hands Cory was enveloped in a green light that formed itself into a new set of fitting clothes for his new form. Nothing fancy just a simple white shirt and blue jeans with a hole in the shirt for his wings and a hole in the jeans for his tail. Before Cory could ask any questions the robed man waved his hand again and Cory disappeared in a flash of light. "Thats the final one. All the pieces are in place soon i shall initiate my plan." the man said and simply vanished without a trace.

In a blinding flash of light Cory, Nick, and Randy all appeared in the middle of their dorm room. "Haha nick your pants are gone." Cory teased while pointing at nick who's pants were apparently missing in action. Immediately Randy and Nick looked at Cory and yelled "AH MONSTER!" Nick ran over to the closet and locked himself inside while Randy ran towards the bathroom and without even realizing it ran straight through the door. "That was strange" Cory said...
