Danny, Mick, Shirley, and Michael Ringo sat watching the television. Meta TeleVision, or Meta TV, a new pirate channel had recently sprung up and was making a stir. Due to the technological wizardry of Grissom Montag, the small tv set in the fish factory was able to pick up this channel, along with many others.
Grimm walked into the room and sat down not far from Michael. The steel folding chair groaned audibly under his weight. "Hey, man," Michael said. "Change back and grab a brew or something."
Grimm looked over at the man. "Change. . .back. . .!?" Danny could swear he saw a look of confusion pass over Grimm's skull face. "I'm seeing shite," he thought to himself.
"Yeah, you know," Michael continued, "I changed back from Vengeance, Mick changed back from Mxy, but you haven't changed and we've been back for hours."
Grimm let out a sound that from anyone else might be considered a sigh. He then got up and walked out of the room. "What'd I say?" Micheal asked his new friends.
"You wanna tell 'im?" Danny looked at Mick. "Tell 'im what?" Mick asked while munching on a fishstick. "I'll tell him." Shirley said, slightly exasperated.
"You see, Michael, Grimm doesn't, uhm, change back. He's like that all the time."
Michael's eyes went wide, "Ohhhhh. . .shit. Uh, you think I should apologize or something?"

Elsewhen. A place that may not truly even be a place.
Five robed men stand around a pool of water, gazing into the rippling water. "So, he is successfully among them, then?" the first questioned his brethren. "Yes, and the true purpose of our "Sword of Vengeance" is now begun. To watch over those manifesting beings that are but pawns of aeons old supernatural forces. The Devourer among them. . ."
"But what of the dragon? Or the angel? And the ancient blood sword of the champion? We did not take into account any of this! Surely this complicates matters!" Another said.
"This complicates nothing. Our "watchdog" will continue his job. The appearance of so many preternatural beings only underscores the need for his mission."
