Heh, that's a *good* plot thing.  We could end this thing in one more 
issue if we wanted!

I can at least end one plot thread for now...

...

Imperilus stood atop the bodies of about fifty Legionnaires of 
Net.Heroes, whom he had personally knocked unconscious.  "Ha! ... Is 
that you, Mashup Laq, little buddy?"

Mashup Laq stood nearby, alongside one other ally whose name escapes 
history right now, looking at Imperilus atop a hill of bodies.  "I 
suppose it is."

"Ha.  I won.  Good enough."  Imperilus stepped down.  "Tell me, where do 
I go to get a job around here?  I could be your bouncer!"

Then a wave of displacement came through.  The connection to his home 
universe had been cut.  He began to shimmer and fade, pulled 
irresistibly back to...

"Oh no!  Ain't going back there!  The connection's *cut*, dammit!"

The shimmer around Imperilus flared, then shimmered some more.  He faded 
anyway.

"But in a different direction?", mused Mashup Laq.
