Scott gasps in surprise as a heavenly being comes into reality.....
He'd seen "angels" and "demons" before while serving his time throughout
his tenure at Addventure......but this....Angel before him made those others
pale in comparison!
What was exactly said and done while the Angel and Scott were still
in Room 1 isn't actually revealed, but the end results were rather apparent
a few moments later.
Confused Story Cops, not sure how they've arrived here back at Addventure
(hadn't they'd moved over to a place called NEQ?). However, they have the
distinct impression that Somebody back there.....didn't want them their
any more....and wouldn't tolerate their presence any more. That and that
Somebody (or Somebodies) considered the Police Cops to be about on par
in effectiveness with the Keystone Cops.
Angered and annoyed, the Cops file into Room 1, and find and arrest
the intruders (who find that their Box missing...and thus are now stuck
for quiet a long time in the reality/non-reality known as Addventure).
The naked Scott (i.e. the one who's now a garden gnome statue) remains
stuck in his form, and is placed on a shelf by the clueless Scott (who'd
been very disappointed at not being able to be smuggled out). The statue
eventually becomes human again....but only after a few thousand years (i.e.
this guy's a slow learner when it comes to good manners).
Clueless Scott soon resumes his vigil, awaiting the day Game 3 opens
again (how long that is nobody....not even the Powers....know).
As for the "other" Scott, he'd accomplished his mission. Demon Xanth
(who'd been shocked and surprised to learn that while his kind call themselves
demons.....the actual article was....much more frightening and much more
vindictive), finds that a way to Terra Prime is open and....the Land is
now safe. However, as feared he found himself forevermore divorced from
his more powerful abilities....and thus only had enough magic comparable
to that of a powerful Magican. In other words, he was in effect just another
citizen of the land, and as mortal as the rest. He was no longer the Source
of Magic. That aside, the "other" Scott found release...and no longer was
subject to coming back again and again (i.e. he finally earned a place
in the Here After).
But things weren't as peachy as they appeared, for as the portal to
Terra Prime opened....
