Kawa nodded in agreement before Teyla could finish her sentence.

"You're absolutely right. I feel the same way about it myself."

He struck a dramatic pose. "There's no time to waste on formalities", Kawa announced as he hit a button that appeared out of nowhere. Within moments, Soap was teleported from wherever she was before to the very same room.

"Sorry to pull you here just like that but there's a couple demons runnin' 'round trying to fuck you up by offering your deepest desires 'n such" Kawa rattled off as he circled around Soap, gesturing wildly. "Teyla here didn't really think you would be wise enough to say 'no', and I agree out of precaution."

He stopped walking and looked directly at Soap. "I'm sure you can understand the motive here, right? Sorry for interrupting your meditation btw."

"And on a completely different topic", Kawa suddenly chirped, "I think it's high time to check on our patient!"

He trotted off towards the not further described room where he had Bob in treatment. It was going pretty well. In the past month, he had gotten Bob back into physical and mental shape (or at least passably so) and collected some more killer bees to experiment on. Several of these were equally non-mutated now. Pressing another randomly appearing button, Kawa recorded a log entry. For some reason, possibly security, he spoke in a language none of the other people in the Homeship knew, quite possibly made up on the spot.

"Medical study log, day 29. The patient has made considerable progress..."

He paused to check on Bob. Finding no signs of reversion, he continued speaking.

"...and seems well underway to a complete recovery. The serum I've been working on appears to be working just fine. One more test should be enough to iron out the last problem..."

With that, he took a spray can full of antidote and walked towards a small cylindrical forcefield that held the remaining killer bees. Minding the bees' location and movement, he jabbed the spray can through the forcefield and hit the button on the nozzle, filling the inside of the forcefield with a fine red mist, then retracted his hand before the bees would catch him. As the gas cleared up, the bees had become almost normal, like the few behind another, similar force field.

"...Mission complete?"

Shoving Bel aside, Kawa looked out the same window.

"Gee, that's a pretty damn bright light to be visible from orbit like that", Kawa said in that same made-up-on-the-spot language. Noticing this little mistake, he repeated himself in English. Just before he got to "that" though, he collapsed to the floor in apparent pain.

It took a few moments to regain his senses.

"Holy shit that hurt!" he exclaimed as he crawled back up. "Hooookay, I've just about had it with this mission. We've been here for more than a month, this world has been on the verge of annihilation multiple times and all we got is two lost party members, some medical experience..." The anger in his speech noticably rose. "...and a sword that won't fuckin' tell what's so goddamn special about it and now the world's ending AGAIN!! RAAAAGH!"

Shoving Bel aside once more (but more forcefully), Kawa stomped away to the power vault, where he stored his excess power in the form of those funky white spheres like the one that brought them to this godsforsaken crapsack world.

"I have had enough of this", Kawa bellowed as he opened the vault door (a very arduous task for a lesser man, but still very hard for him to do), snatched away three power orbs and stomped away to the balcony.

The balcony, for the record, was outside of the mansion and utterly exposed to space. And the Homeship itself was in medium orbit...

"What makes you guys think these are bombs?" Kawa replied with a slight hint of surprise. "I just need a whole lotta power to basically freeze the universe within seconds", he corrected with an increasingly manic grin. Before either the COSMOS guy or Bel could react, Kawa absorbed the three power spheres into himself, kicked the COSMOS guy into space and released his magic.

Aside from a small bubble, just large enough to contain the Homeship but too small to include the COSMOS guy, the world started to turn a blueish silver, expanding outward from the protective bubble at breakneck speed. The COSMOS guy demonstrated the effect by seemingly crystallizing as he stopped floating away and locked into place. The planet below followed within seconds, and the wave effect kept going from there in every direction (as far as space has directions). The light from below seemed to freeze as well, which was a very strange thing to see. The burning green aura that surrounded Kawa started to lower in intensity as the effect travelled and picked up speed exponentially.

What would be less obvious to the audience inside the bubble was that the effect was four-dimensional -- it propagated through time as well, in both directions.

After fifteen minutes, the bubble containing the Homeship was the only "live" part in the world, though Kawa stopped watching and lowered his arms after only one, letting the effect continue unattended. Notably, there was almost no green aura surrounding him anymore.

Not expecting Bel (or anyone else for that matter) to be able to form a complete sentence after witnessing this, Kawa went back inside and signalled the Homeship to return to the nexus dimension that contained the Lounge.

He seemed very tired as he took that blasted sword from his shirt and threw it to the floor behind him.

Kawa made his way back to the master bedroom as Bel ranted.

"Stop worrying mage boy", he yawned. "As for the planet... it and every single other thing is in complete temporal stasis." He sounded very, very tired. "Nobody will think anything about us."

He took off his jacket and nestled into the pillow pit that was his bed. "Do me a favor? Tell me when we're back at the Lounge..."

Cynthia reappeared from her hiding place.

"I don't really understand it myself, but as far as I can tell, the... story turned against danna. He seemed really angry at it... and to use up three of those power spheres he'd need to be really ticked off."

She turned to look at her mate, sleeping in the pillow pit. He seemed less tired every passing moment.

"Oh", Cynthia noticed. "We're almost home again". Sure enough, the strange dimensional travel effect outside was slowing down, and the Lounge Nexus slowly started to take form again, the Homeship appearing in the sky a small distance above the Lounge building proper.

"I wonder what Sal's doing?"

Within seconds, Bel found himself falling down to the Lounge's front lawn, having been shoved clean out of the Homeship by an unexpected blue, red and yellow blur.

Strangely, the impact was very soft and didn't injure Bel at all. This was ofcourse because the Rule of Funny was not to be used as a weapon.

Cynthia went around to bring the other party members to the hallway for beamdown as Kawa did one last check-up on Bob.

I wonder if Mage Boy realises he wasn't supposed to understand me back then, he thought to himself as he gave Bob a last dose of antidote.
