             the bet-An Extra Set of Winners!

                         By

                   the DragonBard

   Toltiir looked with a bit of amusement at the powerful dragon in front of him.  The Dragon, who also went by the names of Bahumat, or Shen Long, was the oldest of the Great Dragons, and the embodiment of Yang in the universe.  Shen Long had come into existence shortly after the instant of Creation, and was thus extremly old, not to mention powerful.  In fact, in some universes, he was second in power only to Kami-sama.  The two of them had never gotten along that well, mostly because Shen Long didn't like Toltiir's sense of humor.
     "What's up?"  Toltiir asked.
     "THE RESULTS OF YOUR BET WITH OTHER DIETIES AND SUPERNATURAL BEINGS INTRESTS ME.  I HAVE DECIDED THAT SOME OF THE WORLDS ARE WORTHY OF CONTINUING.  THUS, IF ONE OF THEM DOES NOT WIN THE BET, I SHALL RENDER THOSE THAT ENTERTAIN ME MOST, PERMANENT MYSELF."  Shen Long said in a rumbling voice.  Toltiir shook his head.
     "Shen Long, would you please can the 'awe-inspiring voice' bit?  Gods haven't done that in centuries."
     Shen Long continued as if he hadn't heard the joking spirit in front of him.
     "OF COURSE, CERTAIN THINGS SHALL BE CHANGED TO SUIT MY WISHES."  And with that, the Dragon was gone.
     The other main reason that Toltiir and Shen Long didn't get along together was that Shen Long was very serious.  While Toltiir was . . . not.  Toltiir looked to see which of the entries in the bet that Shen Long had decided to keep going.  Toltiir hadn't realized that so many of them would turn out to be so interesting, and had been kind of sorry that only one could win the bet.  Now, it looked like some of the most interesting ones would continue on.  More chaos for him, more mischief for everybody.
     "Common, Toltiir.  The Bet's over, so tell me what I got to do to get out of this mess."  Toltiir chuckled at Nabiki Tendo's pleas.
     "Well, there's this little timeline I noticed over there which has you replacing Ranma in all the craziness, marrying Shampoo and the like.  I'm just going to have you visit the inside of your dopplegangers mind . . .

     The ones I'm planning on continuing are
King of Fighters
Dragon's Destiny
The Art
And one which is a combination of a bunch of others.
     There may be other's that I can't remember off hand.  Hope you like my renditions of them.
     As for the timeline which Nabiki will shortly be visiting, yes that is a fanfic by another author.  One which I extremely enjoy.  The ideas are his own, just used to torture Nabiki a bit.  Well, see you later.
