Z-mage and Demonicuss, the posters, had abandoned the ongoing supervillian battle to investigate the crime scene.

"Why are we doing this, Z?" Demoincuss asked "shouldn't we be working on getting rid of our characters right now?"

"Nah," Z-mage responded, "They've got more than enough power going for them back there, and I think they have more experience."

"But still," Demonicuss said, "They are our responsibility."

"I know," Z-mage said, "we'll do that later. Right now we have more important things to do in helping them find out who murdered our cult leader."

"Yeah, right," Demonicuss said uneasily. He wasn't quite as in to this Jack's Cult business as much as Z-mage was, even though he was higher up in the organization.

"Anyways, I think they're here creating a distraction," Z-mage said.

Realization dawned on Demonicuss. "You know what, Z?," he said. "I think you might be right. The timing and location of that portal were very convenient. So you're saying if we find out the deal behind the Jack Tango disappearence, we should get rid of our villians, right?"

"That's what I think," Z-mage responded. "It's not like we're going to defeat them ourselves. These guys have gone up against cosmic threats and almost defeated them, what are we gonna do? So we're here to find clues."

"But the others have already covered this entire area. What makes you think that we'll find something Fenris's nose didn't?" Demonicuss asked.

"That's where I come in," Z-mage said slyly. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a small, red and white marble. He pressed a button on it, causing it to grow to baseball size. "I am, after all, a Pokemon master."

"Really?" Demonicuss asked. "Since when?"

"About a month ago," Z-mage responded. "It's in my Sig, after all."

With that, Z-mage threw the ball down on the ground, and it opened up to form a small yellow duck. It looked quizically at the posters and asked "Psy-y-y?"

"Damn," Z-mage swore. He opened the ball up again and pulled psyduck back in. "I've got 250 of these damn things. It's kind of hard to keep them straight."

He was about to begin rooting through his pocket again when there was a massive explosionbehind them. It was the villian Z-mage. DeMonStar was visible behind him.

Without saying a word, Z-mage and Demonicuss began running. They came to a fork in the hallway, and each took seperate forks. Z-mage eventually wound up at a dead end. He could see the Z-mage coming towards him, but couldn't see DeMonStar anywhere. Summoning what acting skills he had, Z-mage got ready to talk down the world destroying villian. he had no idea what was happening to Demonicuss.
