parentheses with the brief description of the images that should be
there :)


Pablo Romero, 1996
sub luna saltamus
(Image of the Swat kats posing before "swat kat" Logo)

	The night wind ran recklessly through  the rooftop, Golden-red
banners swaying madly with its frenzy as the Honey Colored  Moon rose
over the Sleeping city, it was completely full and peered out from
behind a latticework of Silver blue clouds.
	"It's Close, Isn't it?"
	A whispered voice next to his ear made Paul Sibelius jump and
hold on to one of the flag masts, it was only after a few seconds of
panick that he realize that  ithe voice came from none other than
Alejandra.
	The young raven-haired teen made a face at his Cousin "You should
be more tactful, Lexa, you nearly made me jump off the Ledge!". 
	Before him stood a young woman, of about 23, tall and slender
with flowing golden hair, Alejandra Sanguere made quite a figure: her
ebony colored dress in contrast with her pale complexion and blazing
hair. When she moved, it seemed as if she glided instead of
walking....as if she were some Fairy  who had lost her path to an
Emerald Cit; it was the way she held herself, her distinct posture
that gave her the enigmatic aura that was practically solid around
her, it was strong enough that it filled the room wherever she went.
	"I am sorry" She said, her voice remained a soft whisper "I
thought you heard me coming"
	Paul smiled and looked around, zipping his Jacket tight to
provide him better shielding from the cold "Heard you coming? Alex, A
cat would be edgy around you. Sometimes i think those shoes of yours
carry little wheels"
	Alejandra let out a small chuckle and she combed her hair out of
her face "Can you feel it?" She said, her eyes admiring the view of
the other skycrapers and buildings, the City lay dormant.....but
something else was awake, Something Older, Something Big.
	"Yes, It's closer than i thought" Said Paul after a long pause.
He turned to face the woman "Why is it coming so fast? I thought you
said it would come slowly and then pick up momentum when the Moon was
at Twelve O'Clock"
	She Shrugged "I'm not Certain , Paul", She took out a small
Pocket watch from some hidden place in her dress. It was
magnificently handcrafted and it was engraved with a pattern of moons
and stars, when she lifted the cover, instead of the usual twelve
hour circle and clock  hands, an intriguing setting of Stars ,
constellations and planets could be seen, and in the Center was the
moon;  each cluster and major celestial body had a movement of its
own .... clockwise or counter-clockwise, there were also Measures and
Meridians, as well as some other Diagrams and Graphs that Paul
couldn't quite identify.

	"It's Coming early, too" she said after a long study of the
constellations in her watch.
	"What??? But that's not possible, a Moon Gate is a natural Astral
Phenomenon,  It can't jump ahead of because the conditions are not
yet suitable for its creation....it's preposterous....it would be
like a chicken coming out before the egg  existed"
	"Nevertheless, Paul..." She put the watch back in her pocket
"It's coming, and with an arithmetic acceleration of 2  minutes per 1
minute"
	"Something's definitively wrong here, then.....this means that it
isn't a natural gate"
	Two pairs of ice-blue eyes were fixed on the moon, the air around
the skyscraper roof  gave its first signs of  energetical charge as
it crackled barely audible around them. "it means"   she said "that
someone or something is  meddling"
	During the relatively short wait, only one word was heard as Paul
, with a fearful voice full of recognition pronounced one single
word....a Name.
	"Mordred!"
	Alejandra Tensed and Lifted her Arms before her as if to ward off
the Figure that had Suddenly appeared out of  nowhere,  dead ahead
of  them.
	The Air Around them Turned into a blazing  White light as the
first Lightning Struck the roof.

(Image: Chance watching TV)

	"I really don't like this!"
	Chance looked away from a Scaredy Cat marathon to fix his
attention on Jake, who was watching at the window , "what's the
matter? It's only rain"
	the slim Kat looked outside at the pouring rain and frowned "it's
not 'only rain' , Chance, this downpour appeared out of nowhere"
	Chance waved off and focused on his favorite program "maybe you
just didn't notice" he muttered, grinning at the cat's antics on
television.
	Jake turned around "Chance, I was out there not ten minutes ago!
I came inside to carry the spare parts I found and the sun was
shining, this is too strange...it's not a season for rain either". 		
	But  Chance wasn't listening, instead he let out  a hearty laugh
"Why,  that cat!!!...look at him..."
	Jake turned around again and stared outside, ill at ease.
Suddenly the bluish light of lightning flared, to be followed by a
roll of thunder.
	~This is way too weird~  he thought 
	"Aw man!" said Chance from behind him "A news flash! Just when
they were getting to my favorite part!". 
	Jake sat down in front of the television "How many times have you
seen that episode anyway?" he asked  the NewsFlash Logo was shown on
screen . 
	"Just six times, but it keeps gettin' better and better!" Chance
said, chuckling.
	"We interrupt this Program to bring you an Exclusive from our
field reporter, Kathy An Lynn"
	Jake blinked "What happened to Ms. Gora?"
	Chance shrugged "I heard she had  to take some long vacations
after she was captured by Pastmaster again,  they say she jumped
behind her desk every time someone at the station took out a pocket
watch"
	"Is this thing on?? Oh..Hi...er...good evening faithful viewers,
this is K. A. Lynn standing in for Ann Gora."  On the set, a rather
bedraggled reporter faced the camera under an outlandish pink and
green  umbrella which didn't quite keep her dry. Her thick black mane
, tied back with a ponytail, was soaking wet and her grey  shiny fur
dripped. She wore ebony-framed glasses large enough that it gave the
impression the Channel was under budget cuts and took to hiring
college students.
	"Gosh, She looks like Miss Karinne Toophisto From  "Full Mooni" 
	"shhh" Jake hushed him "I want to hear what she says!"
	".....following the completely unexpected storm we're facing, the
authorities have been notified that someone is disturbing the peace
on top of Milton Skyscraper in Downtown."
	The image changed to the imposing Edifice, standing against the
graying skies in its neo-gothic style like a ghost of the past
reaching through the ages. The picture was lighted frequently by the
outline of lightning coursing through its  Lightning Rod with a
frequency that was stunning.
	"On the roof, oblivious to the electrical discharges, someone is
standing near the edge and firing some sort of weapon at the
neighbouring buildings, causing severe damage. All the adjacent
buildings are being evacuated, and the Enforcers have been called in
to action...all we know is that the perpetrator calls himself '
twilight'..."
	From the top of the building, a blue-white strand of light shot
outwards with blinding fury and hit the side of the next building,
sending down a rain of debri down the evacuated street. Shouts of
panick could be heard from the people standing by that were being
held backfrom approaching by the Public authorities 
	"Come on!"said Chance, sprining up from the couch "Let's get to
the TurboKat, whomever that is I don't think the Enforcers can face
that alone"
	Jake stood "I'm with you, but we can't use the TurboKat, not in a
weather like this..listen to  that"  He pointed outside and Chance
blinked as the Howling of the wind filled the room. The window
glasses were trembling  "that's a hurricane!"
	Chance frowned "then how are we going to get there?"
	Jake smiled and  bolted "Follow me, I think I have an answer to
that!"
	Chance followed his friend, wondering what was that he had on his
mind.
	Outside, the storm raged.

And back in the world that we like to call ours...

	"Do you understand??? I will NOT tolerate ANY interferences!!!!!"
Alejandra stood up and dusted off her clothes, looking at the
black-clad arrogant man in front of her "so *we* are the
intereference? You know Mordred, you become more fastidious with
every single meeting"
	His aquiline factions twisted with rage "How dare you???"  with a
hand motion he sent twisting snakes of electricity that would have
struck her if it had not been for the Protection that was still
around her "This is my last warning, Ambrosius' Spawn! Leave now or
face the consequences!" He rose his arms to the sky and a tower of
light formed, surging up to the storm clouds, and beyond. Somewhere
between dimensions -they all felt it- something began to stir before
its time.
	She frowned and quickly glanced around.  the rooftop was a wreck,
smoldering ruins of the elevator walls stood as a grim evidence of a
terrible force;  behind her, Paul stood his ground. She was thankful
for his quick reflexes, his shielding had saved them both from
Mordred's unexpected attack.
	Alejandra squared up her shoulders and took one bold step
forward, raising her right arm in an autoritative manner. "In the
name of Avalon, I command you to stop your meddling"
	He looked down at her as if she were a beetle "You ignorant
peasant, you don't even know what I'm doing!" he took  one moment
from his stance to wave a hand around and a circle of red light
glowed around him, creating a barrier between him and the other two
Magic Users
	"Of course we do!" Paul stepped to her side, holding  h is hands
spread out before him, to counter any other attacks "You're tapping
on the Moon Gate's natural flow to make it appear before its time,
you're making it appear artificially and thriving on the energy you
send it for its duration. You want to control it"
	Alejandra pointed her finger towards Modred "As the heir to the
Island of Avalon, I demand that you cease immediatelly or all you
will  create is a cataclysm, you do not know  a thing about the
powers you are toying with!"
	Mordred smirked "but I do know what I am meddling with, my Lady,
here isthe proof"
	He made a twitching motion with his hands and  a ripping noise
from above them made them turn their heads to the sky.
	Some would say the clouds suddenly parted  in a circle  to give
way to the night sky , but that would have proven wrong when the
darkness suddenly turned into a swirling vortex of light. All the
lights in the area blinked out, leaving the gate as the only light
source and the city draped in darkness. "Oh my god..." Paul said,
deadly pale.

(Image: The Portal!)

	Alejandra's eyes widened, and then she strode forward, passing
through Paul's shield and standing right before Mordred "Stop this! I
command you!" she put her hands before her 
	Mordred glared at her, his hands still thrust upwards "Silence,
house witch , there's nothing you can do now to prevent me from
entering Avalon!"
	She screamed and her arms traced a wide arc, sending wave after
wave of thaumaturgic energy crashing against Mordred's shield. Paul
closed his eyes and opened his mind, Letting the surge of power meet
Mordred's defenses.
	The arrogant man  smiled at their effort as he channeled the
energy the gate was sending . They know so little...I can crush them
with a single thought now.  He held the magic of the m oongate in his
hands , he could certainly divert to do that before opening the
doorway to Avalon to claim his Kingship! As long as he kept the flow
of power steady to keep his foot in the door, the gate would not
close. And then, the world around him bust into waves of sheer pain.
Suddenly, he  flailed. Something went horribly amiss and he felt
excruciating pain as the feeling of being pulled apart in two
different directions filled his screaming mind. With a blood-curling
shriek, he fell to his knees as his grip on the gate faltered.
	No! It can't be! , his thoughts formed a confused  cloud, clearly
he felt as if  he was being ripped apart,  the gate, the gate! What
is wrong???
	Forcing to open his eyes, through the pain and the intolerable
migraine he saw his two enemies in a similar stance: kneeling on the
ground, but what froze his heart were the tendrils of pure Magic
leaving their bodies and travelling upwards!. It is the same with me
, he thought bitterly,  The gate is feeding upon our Magical energy,
and when that is gone...., he didn't  want to complete the
thought.... And he wouldn't have anyway, as a new level of pain
surged through him. The Vortex was seeking the monumental flow of a
Natural Cosmic Phenomenon to remain open, so it quickly absorbed
their energies trying to compensate such a fluz, and Mordered felt
that it was dangerously close to Ending with his entire Magical
Potential....and his life.
	>*Mordred!*< 
	He was startled when he heard Alejandra's voice in his mind, the
fact that she could manage enough focus with a smiliar torture going
on told a lot about her power. He tried to answer but all he managed
was the most primitive of echoes.
	>* No time.....Gate..... Drain us....Kill  us...Must Cut off *<
	Cut off? How?  He could no longer command how much he gave, he
could	 not even command his own Concenrtation! He flet as if he
were but a whisper away from falling dead to the ground, but he
managed another echo, this one with a vague hint of question in it.
	>* Give....hand....me...NOW!  *< 
	Her link wavered, so her language was incomplete, but enough to
make him understand remotely what she was talking about. He opened
his eyes (each eyelid felt as if it were of stone and hard to lift as
a truck!) and saw what she meant: Paul and her were holding hands,
and they were pointing their free hands at him, open. He saw that the
simple act of staying erect was costing them -as much as him-
undescribable pain. He did not linger, fighting his own internal
flames, he took their hands and  nearly collapsed.
	>*NOW*<
	He gave way and opened his mind as he felt the gate sucking on
his last resources. Suddenly, there were two other People inside of
him...no, they were one being, and he was  three..no..no...he didn't
understand it, what was happening? He felt something close around him
and he realized it was his own power, uniting with two other powers
to form a tight circuit and cut off their link to the gate by forning
an unpenetrable ring, a unity of power, a closed magi circuit.
	Yes!, he heard himself think, as the pain withdrew and his mind
began to balance , the gate has nothing to feed it now!. He felt
himself coming back to life, and his senses were clearing up again.
He  felt the floor beneath him, and the two hands closing over his.
Suddenly the Unity was gone and he came back to his own body. They
had done it, they had cut off the gate.
	Awareness came over him and he realized he was in the midst of
two of his enemies! He strove to stand, but his legs would still not
respond properly, so all he ould do was kneel. They were in no better
shape, so they all stared at each other. 
	"I..told...you....so" said Alejandra, panting.
	He tried to glower at her but his face ached with the simple
effort. As soon as he could walk, he would get away from these two
before they could imprison him again!.
	He did not get a chance to test that, however. Up in the skies,
another Ripping sound made them look painfully upwards, and he saw
the gate pulsing with a mad red glow as a wind began to blow, softly
at first and finally reaching hurricane proportions!!!!!
	"The gate...is...collapsing!" Shouted Paul, with a dry voice.
Mordred's heart froze for a second time. The gate, with no flux to
keep it open, was collapsing upon itself, closing in....the traction
would pull them in! he was going to be ended by what he sought to use
as his entryway into the lost world of avalon!
	He had no time to hold on to the nearest railing to anchor him,
nor did Alejandra or Paul. Together, they all floated towards the
gate and were driven into the freak reality of the Interdimensions.
	"Nooooooooooo!" was the last thing  Mordred heard before losing
conciousness.....he did not even realize that it was his own scream.
