Clay sighed and said, "Well, it's better you knew about it all the same. Luigi told me that one of you guys nearly destroyed one of those Nest Jewels because some clown tricked you into thinking they were the source of the problem. Didn't want you to make he same mistake with these, even though they can be very troublesome."
Before leaving, Clay pulled out another photo and said, "Also, have you seen characters like these running around?" The photo was of three shady-looking characters, who all resembled the Mario brothers to an extent. Wally, Otto, and the others recognized the third figure; Waclay Wario.
"These guys can really get up to no good. If you've seen them, try to hold them prisoner until this is all over. Some creep may try to hire them to work for him or her to keep us from finding those Nest Jewels, thus effectively keeping us stranded here." Clay stated glumly before putting the picture away.

"Now HIM I remember," Double D pointed Waclay out. "He was trying to steal an important artifact from the Temple of Balance. I'll admit we let him go, but I believe he was heading for the Caves out West, by the Canyon."
"Oooooh..." cooed a voive over Clay's shoulder. "Shinyyyyy...!"
"Ed! Stop breathing down the boy's neck."
"Oh!" Ed jumped back, brushing imaginery dust off of Clay's shoulder. "Sorry."
"What took you, Ed?"
"Just talkin' to Percy," Ed giggled. "He said Fletcher and King are REAL close now."
"I see."

Wally was smiling ear to ear now, "Ah Ed! There you are!" He grinned as he motioned for him to come in. "How've ya been?"
Otto only regarded Ed with a small nod before turning back to the conversation. "It wasn't our fault he got away, we were otherwise forced to let him go by an... 'Outside Force'."

Clay shrugged and said, "Well, if you see Waclay again, you'd better keep a hold of him for a while. And look for these other two, Wario and Waluigi. They can really get themselves into trouble." With that, Clay leaves the apartment, glad to see he got some help on his search.

"Busy busy busy!" Ed replied, plopping down in front of the television while giving Courage a pat with a grin. "What's this show called again?"
"Right, we will." Double D watched him leave, then turned back to Otto. "Crystal Stars, hmm? Guess there are more items of power to watch out for, not to mention those from other universes we haven't heard of. Any luck with aquiring more information about the Nest Jewels?"

Otto shrugged. "No unfortunately." He crossed his arms. "About the only info I've heard about so far are the current holders of these Jewels Shards." He listed a few names counting on his fingers. "Megaman X, and some psycho named Black Mage to name a couple."
Wally flopped down on the couch. "This show my friend is one of the greats I've seen during my stay here! A mixture of a Medieval Time Period with modern twists, powerful magic, swordplay, with some crazy heroes, I'm talking about the one and only; 'The Slayers'!" He pushed the play button, and smiled widely. "Got the entire first season on DVD, and I think you'll like it, my friend!"

"Goody!" Ed cheered, taking a clump of popcorn into hand. "Fantasy rocks if you don't do the cliche stuff!"
"Mm." Double D nodded glumly. "Our companions Felix, Raz, and Sasha each have one too, that much I know. Mario would be able to tell you more, but as you know, he's been MIA for a while. Or, at least, no one's been able to contact him. From what I hear, he's on the move a lot.
"By the way..." Something else occured to him. "Did you ever find out who was behind the plot to misinform you in the first place?"

Otto shook his head. "No. I returned to my own world a day or so ago, and asked around if anyone knew the guy that confronted me. However, it can be safely assumed that he came to my world only that one time." He thought a moment. "He wasn't familiar either. So I have no chance at figuring out who he is by my memory alone."
"I still stand by my earlier comment-" Wally raised his voice from the couch. "That Kijin Kain was the one that tried to trick you. That overgrown Lizard's sunk that low before."
"It wasn't his voice Wally." Otto responded, "Nor did the figure bare his scent or aura. And with an aura as strong as HIS, you'd need a heck of a lot of magic, and that's something that 'Overgrown Lizard' doesn't have no matter how much he may boast."

"Overgrown Lizard? That sounds like Bowser!" Ed exclaimed, Courage giggling beside him.
"Mmm, that's troubling," Double D sighed. "I'd hate for the same person to misinform anyone else." Suddenly, he looked up at a thought. "But if he's a stranger to your world... that only means he isn't to another. Describe him, if you can; perhaps we'll know him. It's a stretch, but still, you'd be surprised at how well memory serves."
(You're free to bring in Him whenever you like, by the way ^^)

"Yes... ... Troubling indeed." Otto muttered as avoided Double D's eye. "Gah... We need to think of something then..."
[shadow=red,left,300]"Worry not your little head about it child."[/shadow]
Otto's eyes widened. Wally jumped, that voice even shocking him enough to turn his head away from the show going on on the TV.
Appearing seemingly out of nowhere, a figure of deep red, and wearing rather flambouyant clothes.
[shadow=red,left,300]"If your looking for the figure who tricked you, look no further then little old me!"[/shadow] Him giggled to himself, as he held up a claw, showing a nest jewel in between them. This Nest Jewel appeared to be a tad bit charred, and scratched, but was otherwise still in good condition.
Otto recognized that gem anywhere...

"Indeed....!?" Double D too jumped at the sudden voice. The evil dripping from the distorted gleeful chuckle made his skin crawl as he looked around, trying to find its source.
Courage typically shivered in cowardice, hiding in Wally's jacket. Ed, however, seemed less afraid and more intentive. Man, that voice sounded familiar, and that's one you don't forget.
And at the enemy's entrance, he stood up and threw out a dramatic finger while Courage screamed behind him.
"I KNEW IT! IT'S HIM!"
Instinctively, Double D had fallen into a defense pose at Him's entrance, but it lapsed for a few seconds as he gave Ed an odd look. "...him? Him who?"
"Him! From the Powerpuff Girls! Same place Mojo came from!!"
Fleetingly, Double D wondered how Ed knew most of things from other worlds. Then again, this is Ed we're talking about. He let it go, making a split-second glance to make sure his own jewel was hidden under his shirt before returning his focus to the enemy. Though inexperienced in the powers he had yet to demonstrate, he could clearly see the auras of evil, chaos, and despair radiating from this Him person. There was no chance in missing it.
"...I suppose it would be pointless in asking you why," he finally spoke, slightly shakily, but not out of fear. More of anticipation. "You reek of chaos. You delight in seeing the pain of others and the sheer destruction that these Dark Insects leave in their wake. And the Nest Jewels are the only things that can stop them, so they're in the way of getting what you want."
...huh. He deduced all of that fairly quickly. Not bad for his first aura-reading. Though he was sure he confused the others, he saw Ed beaming knowingly behind him, throwing him a thumbs-up.

Otto and Wally stared at Double D like a second head had popped out of his neck.
Otto looked especially surprised; being able to sense aura's he could've safely deduced just what Double D deduced, but the fact that the boy beat him to the punch was surprising.
Wally quickly turned to Ed, after having heard his proclamation. "You know this Wacko?"
Him meanwhile, giggled some more. [shadow=red,left,300]"Ah yes, very good well done Eddward. Read me like an open book!"[/shadow] He sneered a little as clasped his claw onto the Nest Jewel Piece in his hand. [shadow=red,left,300]"I suppose I should've expected nothing less from the newest guardian angel on Dimensional Island."[/shadow] Seeing Double D's look of surprise, the creature giggled. [shadow=red,left,300]"You think I don't know? Just as you've read my aura I read yours. Of course, it's also helped that I'm exceedingly well informed."[/shadow]
Otto stared at Double D curiously. "A...Guardian... Angel?" He grinned a little, "This kid? Yeah, right! Last time I checked this kid was nothing more then a regular human."
[shadow=red,left,300]"When WAS the last time you checked?"[/shadow]

At their looks of confusion, Double D surprisingly shrugged, grinning sheepishly.
"Guess the secret's out," he replied, arching his back slightly and shutting his eyes. "I told you; a lot of things happened since we last saw each other."
Courage's eyes widened and Ed made a small cheer as a pair of translucsent, otherwordly wings pushed themselves out from his back, light blue and lavender swirling together, like the force fields he commanded.
At the end of the stretching, giving off small sparkles in their wake, Double D sighed in a small release. "Ahhh... it's getting easier with practice."

All was silent for a moment... ... ... ...
"COOOOOOOOOOOOOOL..." Wally chimed, getting up from his chair! "FAR OUT!!!! Hey Otto! Are you seeing this?!?"
If this had been a cartoon, Otto would've been busy trying to put his eyes back in his head. In this case, they were the size of dinner plates at the sight. "OH... MY..." He looked at Double D a moment. "How in the HELL did you become a guardian angel?!"
[shadow=red,left,300]"A small visit from my old friend Lucifer, made sure that he would become this."[/shadow] Him giggled. [shadow=red,left,300]"By the by, Eddward, I thank you for ridding the Island of Lucifer, now I can continue about my plans without him interrupting."[/shadow]

"It was his own undoing, really," Double D noted offhandedly. "...mm, I thought someone with more devilish motivations would take advantage of his absence. No matter."
"Do the glowy orbs, Double D!!" Ed called out.
At that cue, Double D idly clutched a fist and examined it, as if looking over his nails. A force field instantly popped up around it, but this time it glowed with a soft yellow light, giving it a fresh, greenish tint. "It's of little consequence if you know. In fact, I'd be careful if I were you. If I remember the laws of affinity, light is a weakness of dark. So if you value your health, I'd suggest you hand over the Nest Jewel."
