Chapter One

Reappearing on Pleasure Island with the others for all of a few seconds, the boy heard a voice which said, "I'll never get this stench off of me! I was only playing a game with you at first, but since you want to play hard ball, let's see you return from this!" And the young man vanished away from Wilwick and the others a second time where it seemed that he appeared directly over a small park in nearby Terryville in free fall. Not wanting to utilize the magic collar which he was currently suspicious of; the boy permitted the free fall until a large tree came within range of his hands and he made an effort to use gymnastics to swing himself from the branch to the tree trunk so he could climb safely down to the ground.

Arriving on the ground, he muttered some not so nice words as he made his way out of the park and decided to return home to report in to his parents whom should have still been home at that time. As he reached the correct street corner, the first of many surprises lay before him. The entire neighborhood where his family's Sabrina styled house had been replaced with a waterfront district which had the name of Stick Town on the sign leading into the area. "Where in the Bleep is my house?" While making a decision on what to do next, he saw Ace the Bat Hound and Robbie the Robin on Ace's Bat Glider rocketing along a North-South highway through the area heading toward Meta-Star City. "Ace would normally be on one of his day time patrols on a Saturday. But the way he was focused on the road, it was like Director Scott Jeralds had called the actors to come to the set. Maybe I should head over to Krypto and Rudolph's home and see if the nice reindeer can help me find out where my house went."

Arriving in Kennel Court, Gerard was soon approaching the home of Krypto the Super Dog and Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer. He could smell baked sugar cookies in the air as he approached the front porch of the house. Stepping up to the door, he rang the door bell and waited.

When the door opened, Rudolph stood there in his anthropomorphic reindeer form wearing a baking apron. "Can I help you?" Then he saw whom was actually standing there as a look of worry crossed his face. "What in the Hell happened to you, Gerard? Whom shrank you to the size of a young kid?"

The boy replied, "What are you talking about Rudolph? I've always been this size. I came here because my family's home over on Bunny Lane and Arcane Avenue got transformed into a weird dockfront district called Stick Town."

Rudolph then said, "There haven't been any residential homes over at those streets since the Quad County and Animated Retirement Community days. Ever since the move to Cartoon Anime and Motion Picture World, that region has been a dock district for shipping vessels. Um, Gerard... I hate to be the one to tell you this, but... my initial reaction over your size and appearance is because you are not the original Gerard Prince of this world. Ever since our Gerard graduated from AniSapien High and migrated to the West Coast with his team, we rarely see him over here in Terryville at all. We need to find out where you came from and send you back there. So tell me everything you can remember before landing in Camp World." And therein began the strange telling of his encounter with Arnie Roo just before his AniSapien Freshmen year had started in the ARC community of Coopersville, California.

Rudolph then said, "Now I know you aren't from this dimension. Gerard Prince never met our version of Arnie Roo until his Sophomore year. Sit still while I call Krypto."

While Gerard sat on the living room couch, he saw a family portrait of Rudolph sitting with Krypto and a cute human boy was between then. Then in a photo right next to that one, he saw Rudolph and Krypto with an all black Labrador between them. "Don't know whom the cutey is, but that black dog is a sex object. If I hadn't seen Ace earlier, I would have said that was ace modeling a new costume. But he wouldn't be caught dead in something that revealing."

And as if on cue, the all-black super dog sauntered into the living room nomming on one of Rudolph's cookies while holding a glass of milk before coming to a dead stop when he saw the young Gerard sitting on the couch looking at the family pictures. "Um... I just saw Gerard on the West Coast this morning at the spa; whom are you?" When Rudolph heard that question, he was back in the living room positioning himself between the boy and the black lab. "Night... this isn't a dupe despite how it may seem. What are you doing home?"

Night playfully tried to lift and lower his head to peer around the reindeer's body to see the boy. "This is my cookie break between my schedule, mom. So whom is this boy?"

Gerard asked, "You don't have reindeer parts; how can you be related to Rudolph?"

Night laughed playfully at that point. "Mom owes me twenty dollars. I told you someone would ask that question some day." Stepping around the reindeer, Night said, "I used to be Harold Dangers, a human sponsor boy whom got moved in with Rudolph and Krypto for the Cheer Bear's Sponsor Family program. I was Timesheart Tiger's Big Brother program charge. An evil group on QC Planet, the successor to the Quad Counties, doctored some food ingredients here in Krypto and Rudolph's home and I got doused in a fatal bath of magical Kryptonian Toonium oil. Over the course of the following week and a half, I transformed painfully into this final form. Then I had to be taught how to use my new body. Most times, I was miserable. But Krypto and Rudolph stuck it out with me all the way like real troopers. The rest of my new life wasn't always the most spotless. I made several messes which I fessed up to and rose above later."

Chapter Two

And then Krypto and Ace came into the living room from the front door. "You were right, Rudolph! What a cutey! Too bad he isn't our Gerard! I sent word to our version en route to the house! He should be arriving shortly with Cruxes!"

Night then sniffed at the young Gerard and said, "I just noticed that there is some evil magic on your body, Gerard. It is coming from your neck. Can you please tell us what that collar is suppose to be? If it was intended to be good, it isn't good at the moment. I sense evil Underworld magic on it. Check it out, mom; just in case I am detecting the wrong thing." And that was when Rudolph examined the magic collar that the boy was wearing.

A set of metallic elevator doors then opened in the middle of the room away from the cartoon animals as an older Gerard Prince and a blue furred anthro anime wolf in a business suit stepped forth. "I got here as soon as the Fury business was completed in the West. Dr. Zamak is chasing Cyber criminal card cheaters again with Devina Daemon. Now what have we got here, guys?" And he squatted down to examine the high school aged version of himself as he held up a scanning device and activated it.

Night then said, "This boy has some sort of evil Underworld empowered magic collar around his neck. I had just asked him what it was for."

Young Gerard then began to explain how it was his magical costume device that Lord Boomerpaw had arranged for him so he could not only hide from Atticus but to be protected during escorted outings with his version of Ace the Bat Hound. He then re-explained how he had just barely started AniSapien High at the ARC park being ran by Pardusius in Coopersville California. But when he mentioned Zecma's involvement with Atticus, all of the heroes released some filthy language.

Older Gerard Prince asked, "What was your favorite costumed form, Gerard?"

The boy replied, "It was my own modern take on Ratplague. Alfred and my version of Ace helped me to streamline it and make it Halloween creepy. According to Batman, it even made him do a double-take when he first interacted with my version of Ratplague. I would show it to you, but ever since I got told that someone had altered the magic collar to place an underworld debt on me every time I activated the collar, I chose to refrain from using it. I don't know how much I am in debt at the moment."

Older Gerard then shouted, "D.I. Kisume, I need you right now or else I send Dark Witch to your bank!"

A completely different version of D.I. appeared at the older Gerard's call. "We don't need her in the Underworld. What is the emergency?"

Older Gerard said, "Scan this duplicate of me and tell me what his Underworld debt is set to. He just informed us that someone set a debt trap on his magic transformation collar."

D.I. turned to look at the younger boy and he waved his hand over the boy's head only to jerk his hand backwards and hold it as if shocked. "This boy is from a dimension nineteen timelines ago." Cruxes said, "That's not possible. Lighty and I determined that there has only been ten time resets since our Gerard arrived in the animated world. If he is from further back, then someone is hiding nine more time resets from us. The horse will not be happy." D.I. said, "I don't care what you guys determined, this boy's home dimension is that far back."

Older Gerard said, "What about what I requested, D.I.? Or is a Dark Witch kiss in your future?"

D.I. remarked, "I detect that the debts had been getting stored in a data card within the transformation device, but when this boy was sent to our dimension, the data was wiped out."

Older Gerard produced a Ziploc baggy and held it open for the boy. "Remove your collar and place it into this baggy. Afterward, I will help you get a cleaner way to transform without the Underworld trick-trap conditions that someone wants you to fall into. Just fully describe all of the forms you had stored within the collar so we can recreate them in the clean safe transformation empowerment for your usage. But we should move this re-empowerment part to the Cruxes satellite so bad guys cannot interfere with this process."

Night then said, "I have a filming schedule to return to. Back in your dimension, handsome, if you get a chance to meet up with Harold Dangers... please make friends with him; you won't be sorry. If he is anything like I was before my accident, then he could really use another male friend." He waited until the magic collar was in the baggy before he gave the cute boy a doggy lick on his mouth. "Sundered Hearts await. Am I ever glad the episodes won't be seen for four weeks. And don't be a bad boy to look up the adult show, either." He winked.

Younger Gerard watched Night leave deliberately lifting his tail and showing off his Mister Happy. "What a tease; is he always like that?"

Rudolph, Krypto and Ace all said as one, "YES!"

Older Gerard and Cruxes then escorted everyone whom was making the trip to the Cruxes satellite between dimensions.

Older Gerard said, "Welcome to the Justice Fury's Cruxes Satellite between dimensions. From here, we should be able to find your home dimension and get you back there."

Chapter Three

Older Gerard then held the Ziploc baggy with the cursed magic collar within it in front of the form registry scanner aboard their satellite and the following forms began to appear on the monitor: Ratplague looking as frightening as the boy had stated; Townsend the Courier Hellhound appearing as sexy and as hot as ever; Brayer the Changeling Donkey Bard whom seemed to have an extra layer of protection all over him; Marine Otter looked as happy as ever as he sat on the beaches of a clean ocean front; however, the Captain Rabbit form looked melted and corrupted as it stood there slowly melding more and more into what looked like the Devil Kangaroo blob at his feet. There were no other forms stored in the collar.

The boy exclaimed, "They were in the process of destroying my magical heroic identities!"

Older Gerard said, "I have been dealing with several Captain Rabbit hating enemies here in our dimension. It is likely that one of them learned that you had been entertaining your own version of the hero and that's why they targeted you within your own dimension. But if you truly want a similar lapine hero to use as one of your forms, there is a version I can help you to acquire to make use of within your dimension. As for the Devil Kangaroo infection form, this has the stink of an evil version of Titanoroo all over it."

The boy arched an eye. "What is this variation called?"

The elder Prince man said, "The full title is Kelthrick, but this is sometimes shortened to Kelly Bunny. He is built more like a version of Ace Bunny from the Loonatics crossed with an American Gladiator; a real warrior among lapine kind. Stemming from the Rabbitarians of Planet Uranus, these warrior rabbits served under the belief of the lapine war god known as Karat Esquire. Although most war rabbits would shorten that name to Karate Squire. If you were to modify the name, it would be something like Captain Karate or simply put, Kelly Bunny."

The boy smiled. "Or going further along those lines of thought... if the H in Kelthrick was silent, then he would be Celtic Rabbit Karat Esquire or Captain Celtic the Karate Rabbit."

Older Gerard then asked, "What form would you like to replace the Devil Kangaroo with since the inclusion of that one seems to be a messy insert that you didn't ask for?"

The boy replied, "Back in our dimension, there was once a funny animal comic called Mystic Duck. He was the size of Daffy Duck with Donald Duck's colors save for a red and gold streak across his head feathers. He was rather loony like the Loony Toons but they called him the sorcerer supreme as if he was the animal joke version of Doctor Strange. I would like to recreate a new version of him with the build of Wildwing Flashblade and the colors and powers of the original. A magic using Puckworldian called Mystic Duck."

The Older Gerard said, "With a natural ability to play ice hockey as well as his abilities to use magic?"

The boy smiled. "But of course; like water off of a duck's back, he would only do his best. In addition to Ice Hockey, he would also be good at Quad Skating. This is okay, right?"

The Older Gerard said, "Just decide what secondary activation phrase each form would have set to them. The primary phrase would be the words that I don't use anymore: Superhero Legacy Activate, followed by the secondary activation phrase for the form you are choosing to use. Upon saying the first words, your surroundings would change to the home environment of the form you are focusing upon to change into; then you say the secondary phrase and after the change occurs, at the end, strike your pose and say your hero's name."

He then said, "Let's hear some of the secondary phrases for the chosen forms."

The boy slyly grinned. "This ought to be fun. Here goes... Sagas of the Night! Ratplague!" Then he paused and thought about the next one. "Eldritch Discus Power! Mystic Duck!" Then he paused and thought about the next one. "Immortal Lapine Lochs! Captain Celtic!" Then he paused and thought about the next one. "Call of the Couriers! Townsend!" Then he paused and thought about the next one. "Master of the Seas! Marine Otter!" And then he thought about the last one. "The Carnival has Arrived! Brayer!" He looked at his counterpart. "How was that?"

Older Gerard chuckled. "You did good. Now to set up your transformation wheel and leave spaces for new inserts as you personally create them at a later date. A personal Transformation Wheel will ensure that you have as many forms as you can handle and the identities can assist in defending each other within your head and body in case a bad guys tries to get the upper hand over your powers. Which one do you consider your creepiest and most powerful form?"

The boy grinned. "Without a doubt, it is my version of Ratplague. Listen to my ideas on what I originally wanted to do with this character." And boy, did he reveal his thoughts.

Flatulence was heard all around the Cruxes as Older Gerard said, "Man, can you ever weave a scary story! Now to get your empowerment set up so you never have to rely on that nasty evil collar ever again. That thing would have destroyed your humanity before you knew what was happening. Is there anything else I should know before we finalize this re-empowerment of your heroic forms? Just remember that as Mystic Duck, you might have the magical ability to find your way back to your own dimension without our help."

The boy said, "A protected slot would be my non-powered human form wearing a costume which I called the One-Man Zoo Crew or Zoo Crew for short. In the original Captain Carrot's colors."

Older Gerard said, "Sounds like a winning combination, Gerard. Let's get your empowerment started. The over-powers hate it when I do this for people; that's why we came to the Cruxes."

Chapter Four

Older D.I. said, "I am going to contact Alter-Hell and ask my counterpart what the Heaven he thinks he is doing. Alter-Hell has counterparts to all of the Underworld Personalities that we have within our own dimension. Some less allied than others. Most are more evil and trappy."

Older Gerard took Younger Gerard out to the center of an open flat stage area and he stood directly behind him. "This will tingle a bit the first time, so let the feeling disperse before we take the transformation ride again. We need to do this for each of your forms including the two slots for your human forms; one with your normal teen age clothes and the other for your Zoo Crew identity."

Younger Gerard then asked, "What if enemies have me gagged to prevent me from using the primary phrase?" Older Gerard smirked, "That's when you get to cheat. No one said Ratplague had to play fair. When gagged or when the need to be quiet initially is desired, imagine yourself saying the primary phrase and then the rest of the sequence will occur. Ready to take the ride of the ages?" Younger Gerard laughed, "Born ready!"

Older Gerard Prince held on to his young counterpart from behind over the chest and over his waist and then he shouted, "Super Power Legacy Activate!" Both humans were thrown into the air, the older holding the younger as the surroundings changed to look like the Costume Shop of Haji Pass. "Costume Refit!" Younger Gerard got a super speed customized fitting for the improved Zoo Crew costume, boots and gloves as well as safety goggles over his eyes. "Zoo Crew!" Then Older Gerard paused to allow his young counterpart to catch his breath and check out his new Zoo Crew costume. Zoo Crew said, "What happens now?" Older Gerard said, "I was establishing your public identity first. Power Down!" and Zoo Crew returned to his normal human clothed appearance. "You may modify the initial empowerment phrase whenever you like. Heaven knows I did several times until I found the one that I liked."

Younger Gerard nodded his head. "Ready to go whenever you are."

Older Gerard Prince held on to his young counterpart from behind over the chest and over his waist and then he shouted, "Super Power Legacy Activate!" Both humans were thrown into the air, the older holding the younger as the surroundings changed to look like an old forgotten Underground sewer tunnel. "Sagas of the Night!" Younger Gerard automatically transformed into a living rat man with a long prehensile tail. Over his muzzle was the plague mask in his size; the cloak and body suit were a dark dirty brownish black color; the electronic red eye-slit lens over the plague mask's eye slots permitted him to see as if he was in a dimly lit early evening setting, while those facing him would only see the shiny rat eyes; there was a communicator embedded into the plague mask itself to make it easier to communicate with allies should they get separated; The gloves and boots had built-in climbing and gripping claws embedded within them as well... This would make enemies think twice about doing the rat tango. "Ratplague!" Then Older Gerard paused to allow his young counterpart to catch his breath and check out his new Ratplague ensemble. Older Gerard was now in his Captain Rabbit form. "This is the official pause phase so you can check yourself out. How do you feel?"

Ratplague activated his voice modulator and said, "Methinks the enemy will know true fear tonight, eh bunny boy?" Captain Rabbit said, "Transformation causes instant repair and instant regeneration of any injuries that you may sustain in your heroic career, so if you get hurt or your costume gets torn, just change forms and it is all repaired and healed for the next fight. Ready to move onward to the next form?" Ratplague turned off the voice modulator. "This is a lot of fun; let's do it!" "Power Down!" And they both returned to normal.

Older Gerard Prince held on to his young counterpart from behind over the chest and over his waist and then he shouted, "Super Power Legacy Activate!" Both humans were thrown into the air, the older holding the younger as the surroundings changed to look like the courtyard of an ancient magical academy. "Eldritch Discus Power!" Younger Gerard automatically transformed into a Puckworldian white duck man with red and gold lightning feather markings on top of his head. His magical cloak and body suit were of the mystic masters of Puckworld; there was an ever-present mist of magical power flowing around the drake in question; his belt contained book pouches while his boots initially had quad skates attached to them which could be magically switched for his ice skates on a whim. "Mystic Duck!"

Then Older Gerard paused to allow his young counterpart to catch his breath and check out his new Mystic Duck ensemble. Older Gerard was again in his Captain Rabbit form. "How do you feel now?" Mystic Duck took a moment before replying, "You were right. I can sense where my home dimension is located in my new magical duck form. I can make the crossing at will after we are done. But I should not abuse this gift since I am supposed to be a good hero. Man, I can feel the power all over myself. Time to move on." "Power Down!"

Older Gerard Prince held on to his young counterpart from behind over the chest and over his waist and then he shouted, "Super Power Legacy Activate!" Both humans were thrown into the air, the older holding the younger as the surroundings changed to look like the Highlands and Lochs of Scotland. "Immortal Lapine Lochs!" Younger Gerard automatically transformed into a War Rabbit Gladiator in dark brown fur with a pink nose and an off-white undercoat. His armored costume was reminiscent of the Uranian War Rabbits themselves in dull gold and dark blue; his gloves and boots were onyx black in coloration; He had a metallic communicator bracer on his left arm partially covered by his glove which had a time piece as well as a compass; his belt contained a battle sword in a scabbard as well as a holstered stun phaser. "Captain Celtic, Gladiator Hero of Karat Esquire!"

Then Older Gerard paused to allow his young counterpart to catch his breath and check out his new Mystic Duck ensemble. Older Gerard was again in his Captain Rabbit form. "How do you feel now?" Captain Celtic turned and gave Captain Rabbit a kiss on the muzzle. Then he blushed. "I couldn't stop myself from doing that, Captain. I am so sorry." Captain Rabbit grinned. "Just like a rabbit. Bugs Bunny will be so thrilled. But I think we should move on to the next empowerment. We are almost done." "Power Down!"

Younger Gerard was still blushing in human form when he returned to normal. "That was so unprofessional of me."

End of Chapter Four

Chapter Five

Older Gerard Prince held on to his young counterpart from behind over the chest and over his waist and then he shouted, "Super Power Legacy Activate!" Both humans were thrown into the air, the older holding the younger as the surroundings changed to look like the red and black battlefields of Hell. "Call of the Couriers!" Younger Gerard automatically transformed into an exact duplicated of the sexy and magically impressive Hellhound hero of World War II with Reddish Bronze fur and having an orange undercoat; he was otherwise nude save for his courier ID collar around his neck which would double as his communicator in much the same style as Krypto the Super Dog and Ace the Bat Hound. "Townsend, Courier of Conjuration!"

A blast of clean mint exploded out from the Hellhound's final pose. Then Older Gerard paused to allow his young counterpart to catch his breath and check out his new Townsend appearance. Older Gerard was again in his Captain Rabbit form. "Boy, you smell good in this form. How do you feel now?" Townsend grinned as he wagged his tail. "We couriers strive to project a respectable presence to our customers. Let's move on." "Power Down!"

Older Gerard Prince held on to his young counterpart from behind over the chest and over his waist and then he shouted, "Super Power Legacy Activate!" Both humans were thrown into the air, the older holding the younger as the surroundings changed to look like a pristine beach near a majestic ocean view. "Master of the Seas!" Younger Gerard automatically transformed into an armored bluish green costumed otter man with gills within his neck fur which was otter brown in coloration. His gloves and boots were latex black. "Marine Otter!" Older Gerard paused to allow his young counterpart to catch his breath and check out his new Marine Otter ensemble. Older Gerard was again in his Captain Rabbit form. "How do you feel?" Marine Otter said, "With my ability to control water and to communicate with the citizens of the deep, I feel like a fish out of water. Let's move on." "Power Down!"

Older Gerard Prince held on to his young counterpart from behind over the chest and over his waist and then he shouted, "Super Power Legacy Activate!" Both humans were thrown into the air, the older holding the younger as the surroundings changed to look like a vastly large carnival with rides and game booths. "The Carnival has Arrived!" Younger Gerard automatically transformed into a changeling donkey man garbed in the outfit of a gypsy musician and dancer; his coloration was grey and white overall; his outfit was faded cloth and leather from his neck down to his wrists and ankles; his thin leather gloves were fitted without fingers to make it easier to play the mandolin while his one-toed black hoofs were open to the elements; he had a metallic communicator bracer on his left arm which had a time piece as well as a compass; his belt contained a pouches and a coin purse; and he had an old world mandolin strung over his back. "Brayer, Changeling Donkey Bard of Pleasure Island!" Older Gerard paused to allow his young counterpart to catch his breath and check out his new Brayer ensemble. Older Gerard was again in his Captain Rabbit form. "How do you feel now? Just to mention this, counterpart; I am also allied to Lord Lampwick."

Brayer shifted from his humanoid donkey form into his quadruped donkey form, as he turned to look at Captain Rabbit. "Just making sure the full power was re-installed into this heroic identity. Lampwick and Wilwick are really nice donkeys. I cannot wait to get back and play with Wilwick and his student Licorwick as I promised them." He then shifted back into his humanoid form and said, "Time to revert and see about getting back to my dimension. What do I owe you for this?"

Captain Rabbit said, "Just agree to be an ally to my team and I; afterward, if you ever need the Justice Fury, we are only a call away. I have input our contact frequency into your communicators in case you need our help with anything. Maybe next time you can meet the whole team that I have trouble controlling. You are still young so maybe you won't end up with dumb bunnies like I have on my team." He winked and a sly grin. "Crime fighting awaits, counterpart! As for this nasty collar, our version of D.I. will properly dispose of it."

Brayer smiled. "I need to get back before Masya tries to find me." "Power Down!" And he returned to his young human form.

Young Gerard struck his pose as he shouted, "Heroic Legends!" He was then thrown into the air as the surroundings changed to look like the courtyard of an ancient magical academy. "Eldritch Discus Power!" He was then automatically transformed into a Puckworldian white duck man with red and gold lightning feather markings on top of his head. His magical cloak and body suit were of the mystic masters of Puckworld; his belt contained book pouches while his boots had quad skates attached to them. As he landed, he shouted, "Mystic Duck!"

Mystic Duck made a beak smile at his older counterpart. "Young Gerard has a carnival to resume repairing in ARC. And spank Night the next time you see him; he got my human aroused." He then wove a spell in mid-air as he roller skated through the magical energy and vanished from the Justice Fury reality to return to the Arc Reality in his home dimension. As he arrived in the billiard hall, he saw that Wilwick and the others were still present as he came to a stop and said, "Power Down!" Instantly, Gerard was back in his human identity.

Arnie Roo hugged the boy immediately! "Where 'ave yas been? We couldn't detect yas anywhere in this world at all! Ah was afraid that Ah lost yas..." He was sniffling now.

Gerard said, "An evil asshole kicked me out of the dimension in an attempt to make me use the magic collar which had an evil magic trap set on it so I would lose my human form. But thankfully, I met up with my counterpart and his friends and he straightened out my powers and they got rid of the trap collar. I can now summon my powers without the collar. That form you saw me in as I arrived is my newest empowered form which is called Mystic Duck."

The younger D.I. said, "That's strange... I don't detect the boon debt on you at all, Gerard. It is like it was completely erased. Um... hold that thought. Incoming mental message."

Gerard mouthed to Arnie Roo, "I met his older counterpart in the other dimension; he was going to give this D.I. Heaven for even thinking a debt on Gerard Prince."

Arnie Roo giggled at the thought of a counterpart bawling out a younger self.
