“We have a problem,” ‘Dellene’ spoke up as she turned her attention to Mr. Slick, Dr. Alma, Bianca and Estella. The five nebulanians were meditating before they were interrupted.

“Oh?” Dr. Alma titled her head to one side.

“Trent had just informed me that Time Warp had destroyed six alternative universes and teleported most of the remaining survivors to this universe. He had sent the other four to an alternative universe.”

“Boy howdy!” Mr. Slick exclaimed in surprise.

“What’s worse, they are either related to Mr. Slick and Dr. Alma, or they are counterparts to Mr. Slick and Dr. Alma. The counterparts for you four were all teleported to an alternate universe.”

“Wait, how did he manage to do that?” Estella and Bianca asked in unison.

“He found a blind spot where he knows none of us gods could spot him in time before he speeds up time so that the end of the universe will happen much earlier.”

“…What would that mean for our counterparts and relatives?”

“Thankfully, neither you or your counterparts will be erased from existence. But, I would advise that you, Alma and Gilbert, to be prepared if you were to ever meet them. There will be a lot of confusion and heartbreak.”

“Thank ya. We understand, Guardian Delle.” Mr. Slick smiled warmly. His tail twitched nervously as he glanced back at his wife. They both held each other’s hands and gave a comforting squeeze.
