General Protection Fault--The Comic Strip [[Nick and Ki, embracing. Sharon and Fooker are standing behind them, close to each other. Sharon and Fooker are smiling]] / Nick: Hey, Gorgeous... / Ki: Shut up and kiss me, you lug... / Fooker: Sounds like a good idea... / [[Agent #12 with Emperor Nick being held by Justin in the background]] / Agent #12: Whattaya know... it looks like the greys aren't as controllable as you thought. They've taken over the entire detention block. / Emperor Nick: Looks like we've wrapped this up nicely... / [[Total view of the scene, with various characters being shaken]] / > / [[Nicole, Justing and Emperor Nick]] / Nicole: What was that? / Emperor Nick: The loose end to end all loose ends. / {{End of Chapter Six}}
General Protection Fault--The Comic Strip {{This is one of the large new-chapter comics}} / [[In a small panel in the top left, Justin, Fooker, Sharon, Nick and Ki are watching out the window, eyes wide open in shock]] / Justin: Was that the reactor? / Fooker: Um, no... / Nick: What ABOUT the reactor? / [[Against the crimson sky, thousands of brightly colored alien vessels descend upon the Earth. Large green beams of destruction rain down upon the already ruined city from them, causing the explosions the GPF-crew just felt. / Adding insult to injury, swarms of large alien creatures descend from the belly of the ships. There are large crab-like beasts with three eyes and a scorpion-like tail coming out from under their carapace. These crabs would probably dwarf a small family house. The other, bipedal, variant has long legs, several stories high, with a single eye mounted in front of a wedge-shaped upper body. Four tentacles spring from under it's eye where it's mouth is. The final invasion has begun!]] / [[A small panel bottom-right shows Agent #12, Dexter and Nega-Nick. #12 and Nega-Nick have faces full of angry resolve, Dexter looks more desperate]] / Agent #12: The other aliens. / Dexter: NOW what do we do? / Evil Nick: Now... we die.
General Protection Fault--The Comic Strip NicK: What's this about a reactor? / Justin: We were in a fight down there. It's set to blow in about seven minutes. / Ki: It may not take THAT long for the aliens to reach this lab... / Fooker: We need an escape route pronto. / Nega-Nick: Heh..heh heh... hee hee ha Ha HAR HAR! / [[Fooker grabs Nega-Nick by the collar]] / Fooker: WHAT'S SO GOSH DARN FUNNY? / Nega-Nick: Escape, there IS no escape. / Nega-Nick: What you see is a full scale invasion. they've been orbiting earth for weeks... waiting... / [[Nega-Nick looks over his shoulder at Duncan who is raising his hand]] / Nega-Nick: Waiting for just the right moment to strike. When we'd be distracted. And let me guess... Who is the spy who tipped them off? YOU wouldn't happen to know, would you , DUNCAN?
General Protection Fault--The Comic Strip Duncan: You suspect _me_ of betrayal, my lord? / Nega-Nick: Of course! The real Duncan was never so blatant a sycophant. When were you taken over? / Duncan: Very well, meatling. This shell was acquired two weeks ago, on that "diplomatic mission" to South Africa. As you surmised, I have been waiting to signal the invasion fleet since then. / Nega-Nick: But you weren't alone, were you? You wanted to coordinate the rebel attack to be your catalyst. So who among the rebels...? / Nega-Trudy: How _dare_ you insinuate one of my people is disloyal! / Nega-Kilgore: On the contrary, meatling Trueheart. Meatling Kilgore was very loyal... Until he too succumbed to our influence.
General Protection Fault--The Comic Strip {{Both Nega-Killgore and Nega-Duncan have bene revealed to be alien spies}} / Nega-Killgore: Your primitive world is too easily swayed by its own internal politics. We know that all that would be required would be to engage your kind in a civil war, and your resources would be turned inward to maintain control. / Nega-Killgore: By helping the emerging rebellion, we could easily destabilize your sociopolitical climate. / Nega-Duncan: While having an agent on both sides would allow neither to gain dominance until the entire fleet arrived. / Nega-Duncan: It is a pity... Your alliance with the meatlings you call "the Greys" was your downfall. Without their contact, we estimate it would have taken use another two hundred of your years to discover this world, by which time you may have developed the technology to defend against us. / Nega-Killgore: Ironically, your world's rich fauna will be our greatest asset in our ultimate subjugation of this galaxy. / Nega-Duncan: Thanks to you, we will accelerate our plans a thousand fold... your emperor's final legacy...
 
General Protection Fault--The Comic Strip Nega-Duncan: We suggest you surrender peacefully. your bodies will be more useful to us intact, but they can still be used for food if deceased. / Fooker: You forgot one minor detail... / [[Justin and Jason both raise their weapons]] / Fooker: We've still got guns. / [[They shoot Nega-Duncan & Nega-Kilgore]] / Justin: They're dead. / Fooker: But whatever was controlling them just scurried behind those consoles. Find them!
General Protection Fault--The Comic Strip Nega-Nick: Find it! Don't let the creature escape! We may be able to use them as hostages! / Ki: Your depravity never ends, does it? / Nick: Actually, he may be right. we may need a bargaining chip with these aliens, and as much as I hate the idea, a prisoner could be useful. / Fooker (shooting): GAH! Missed! They aren't very fast, but they can squeeze into tight spaces! / Justin: There's the other one! / [[Justin looks through the slats on an air vent at a slime trail]] / Justin: Drat! It slipped into the air vent! / Voice: Did you get a look at it? / Justin: No, but they DO leave a slimey trail...
General Protection Fault--The Comic Strip Maddie: You KNEW about this invasion fleet? / Nega-Nick: Of course! Do you think they could have hidden that many ships from our satellites? / Ki: But you did nothing about them! / Nega-Nick: What do you think this entire fiasco was about! My plan was almost complete until you fools ruined it! / Nick: His plan wasn't to gain the power of the Velociraptor or to conquer our world... at least not anymore. He just wanted an escape route to save his own cowardly hide. / Fooker (in background): GOT IT! / [[Fooker looks shocked]] / Voice Off-Camera: Fooker? / Fooker : Oh my God...
General Protection Fault--The Comic Strip Sharon: Fooker? Did you get the alien? / Jason (shocked): ... Y-yeah. / Sharon: What does it look like? / Jason: That... doesn't matter. We need to concentrate on getting out of here. / Sharon: But we might need to recognize one if-- / Jason (angry): Sharon! Just TRUST me, okay? We have more important things to-- / <> / Ki: THAT was inside the palace! / Announcement speaker: Alien troops have entered the palace! Alien-- SZHK! / Dexter: We need to move! / Nick: Don't you have some sort of emergency escape system? / Emperor Nick: From THEM? The only escape system is the one YOU'VE been working on...
General Protection Fault--The Comic Strip [[Scene: Emperor NegaNick's throne room. In the background, Ki looks on, and the Emperor scowls.]] / Dexter: No sweat, then. If Nick built the escape unit, let's just zap on out of here! / Nick: Er, it's not quite that simple. / Nick: This "escape unit" is just a MUTEX/Velociraptor clone. And while I actually tried to stall somewhat, I couldn't get it to work, and I have no idea why. / Ki, with one eyebrow raised: You? Stalled? Under other circumstances, I might be proud. / [[Fooker raises a hand and points his index finger toward his ear, as if holding a hidden transmitter there. Sharon is standing in front of him, looking up at him.]] / Fooker: Nick, it's okay. We've got Fred, Dwayne, and Yoshi standing by back in the home universe. We'll just get them to warp us back. Fred? Come in, Li'l Buddy... / [[Fooker and Sharon begin to look worried. Fooker's finger is still to his ear.]] / Fooker: Um, Fred? Hello? Uh oh....
 
General Protection Fault--The Comic Strip [[Mischief is turning from a viewing sphere to look at the Gamester]] / Mischief: Boss.. um, I think you ought to come look at this. / Gamester: I've got three temporal paradoxes and a super hero who is his own grandfather. What could possibly-- / [[The Gamester looks at the sphere and sees Nick glaring at Nega-Nick]] / Gamester: By the Key to Time... We've been so caught up in other things, I completely lost track of this, and it looks like Nick and his friends are in far deeper than I feared. / [[The Gamester and Mischief are looking into the sphere, but what they are seeing is not visible]] / Mischief: They tried contacting their buddies in their home universe, but they can't reach them... / Gamester: That's because of this massive interference. It's as if another extra-dimensional entity has... / [[The Gamester looks visibly displeased]] / Gamester: No... it can't be... / Mischief: What? Who? / Gamester: It's him.
General Protection Fault--The Comic Strip [[The Gamester's room]] / Mischief: It's WHO? / The Gamester: An old "acquaintance" I thought was long forgotten. I should have KNOWN... / The Gamester: I believe we've found our culprit behind Trudy's cyclical paradox. It's just his style, as is nudging Emperor Nick to discover his "good" twin. / Mischief (curious): But WHO-- / The Gamester: This is beyond your abilities, Mischief. I need you to handle those other paradoxes alone, while I tackle this. I know this is more than I've ever asked you to handle, but I think you're ready. First, however, I need you to bring me Todd. / Todd: Did I hear my name? / The Gamester: Good. I have a job for you. / Todd: Just call me Deus ex Machina.
GPF Archive: Wednesday, August 30, 2006 [[Mischief and Todd face each other as they talk. In the background, the Gamester is looking at a globe-like object, with an arm extended toward it.]] / MISCHIEF: Did you get all that? / TODD: No problem. I may be useless at all that metaphysical crap, but this I can handle. / [[Todd's and Mischief's faces are seen in closeup, facing each other. In the background is the Gamester, still facing the globe. Todd refers to the Gamester as he speaks.]] / TODD: Is he going to be okay? / MISCHIEF: I don't know. I think he's trying to shield us as to how severe this really is. If another entity is tampering with -- / TODD Another entity? / [[Mischief looks over at the Gamester.]] / MISCHIEF: Gamester thinks that whoever started this also started the paradox that created you, and that level of interference can only come from the outside. It's a very dangerous thing when two entities fight; I hope you don't have to see that. / [[Mischief waves goodbye to Todd, looking solemn. Todd disappears in a flash of light. His silhouette is brighter than the flash that surrounds him.]] / MISCHIEF: Good luck, Todd. / TODD: It sounds to me like you guys will need it more than I. / [[There is a <> as Todd disappears]]

General Protection Fault--The Comic Strip [[Pi and Planck, along with their kind, are fighting humans]] / Planck: The Emperor's Guards are pulling back, Pi! / Pi: Don't celebrate yet, Planck. We've taken some heavy losses. If only we had better weapons... / Pi: Besides, they seem distracted. Maybe all those explosions outside are indicative of something else going on... / Planck: Aw, c'mon! They're just runnin' 'cause we're kickin' human buttocks! / [[Pi is suddenly surprised at something behind the camera]] / Planck: Or was that 'kissing'...? I never can remember. Anyway, we'll be all the way to the throne room at this rate. Yep, 'Courageous Kidney' and his alien marauders will... Pi? What's up? / [[We see what surprised Pi: Aliens with tentacles hanging down floating]] / Planck: Okay, what did I do wrong *this* time?
GPF Archive: Monday, September 4, 2006 [[The walker squirts acid at Planck. Pi tackles Planck out of harm's way.]] / Pi: Get down, you idiot! / [[The two aliens crouch behind a rock]] / Planck: Enemy walkers? Here?! Great Kados, Pi! It's an invasion! / Pi: Just as we feared. Those crafty Gnargs engineered this whole coup as a distraction! / Planck: But what can we do? The humans don't have the technology to fight them. And we've got none of our weapons! / Pi: Abandoning this planet is our best choice. But... hold on... / [[Todd is leaping on top of one of the walkers]] / Pi: Who's THAT?
 
General Protection Fault--The Comic Strip [[Emperor NegaNick's throne room. Sharon holds Fooker, looking worried. Fooker's face is battered. Standing with them are Dexter, Justin, Maddie, and Ki, who also looks worried. The Emperor is sitting in front of them with a cross expression on his face. NegaKi is off to the left. Nick is in the foreground.]] / Fooker: Okay, maybe we _don't_ have a safety net... / Nick: Then there's only one hope left... / [[Nick turns to the Emperor's MUTEX and points to it. Ki looks over his shoulder.]] / Nick: The Emperor's MUTEX can only transmit virtual avatars of living tissue into other universes because it doesn't have the power for full transference. But if I can lock _this_ MUTEX's transmat signal to _my_ MUTEX's, maybe we can form a dimensional bridge. / [[Maddie, who seems to be frowning in concentration, looks at Nick and Ki, who are still standing near the MUTEX.]] / Maddie: All I heard was a string of technobabble. Is that a good thing? / Nick: In essence, _this_ MUTEX can draw power from _my_ MUTEX, and the two will meet in the middle. / [[Dexter is behind Maddie. Justin is slightly in front of them, to the right. Dexter addresses Maddie.]] / Dexter: That's a good thing. / Justin: But can you do that in four minutes? That's about all we have left before the reactor blows. / [[Nick and Ki are still near the MUTEX. The Emperor is in the foreground. Ki glares at him.]] / Nick: I have no idea, but I can certainly try. / Emperor NegaNick: I know it might pain you to consider, but this _might_ go faster with _two_ Inventor's Genes... / [[Fooker looks at the Emperor and frowns. Nick looks back over his shoulder to talk to Fooker. The Emperor is sitting next to Nick.]] / Fooker: Can we trust him? / Nick: No. But then again, you're still holding the gun and he's got nowhere else to run. Untie him.
General Protection Fault--The Comic Strip [[Across the throne room from Nick, the Emperor, and the MUTEX. Maddie, Justin, and another U.G.A. agent are standing. The third U.G.A. Agent has her ear to the wall.]] / Maddie, glaring: Well, what can we be doing while the geniuses work instead of waiting around to die? / U.G.A. Agent: Sounds like defending ourselves. / [[The U.G.A. is in the foreground. Ki and NegaKi are in the background.]] / U.G.A. Agent: Sounds like a battle going on outside. Lots of weird noises, too, like strange animals. / Ki, to NegaKi: You! Are there any more weapons in this place? / [[The viewpoint shifts so that we are looking down into the room. NegaKi presses a button or flips a switch that opens a door. Justin and Fooker are visible, besides Ki and NegaKi.]] / Door switch: <><> / NegaKi: The experimental weapons locker is hidden along this wall, but when I say "experimental"... / Justin: Just tell us which end to point at the bad guys. / [[Only NegaKi and Fooker are visible. Fooker examines one of the weapons.]] / NegaKi: I'll warn you that the alien walkers and "tanks" are impervious to blaster fire. Only the stronger weapons will have any effect. / Fooker: There are a _few_ things I like about this universe...
General Protection Fault--The Comic Strip, November 20, 2006 [[Mischief appears to be manipulating three spheres that hover in front of her. The look on her face indicates that she is concentrating.]] / Mischief, thinking: There. Two paradoxes fixed. Now what can I do about this guy who's his own grandpa? Although I can't blame Grandma... He _is_ awfully cute... / [[Mischief looks back over her shoulder at the Gamester, whose back is to her as he looks at a large sphere. Her expression reflects worry or concern.]] / Mischief, thinking: I don't think I've seen the boss concentrating so hard before. If we were corporeal, I'd bet he'd break a sweat. He's really worried about this, more than I've ever seen him be before... / [[Mischief looks in front again, at a sphere hovering just above her hand.]] / Mischief, thinking: And to think of it... Another entity! Defying the Cosmic Code and directly interfering with the mortal realms! Surely he knows he'll have to face the council or even Justice. I've heard of rogue entities before, but I thought-- / <> / [[Mischief looks over her shoulder again. The large sphere is still there. The Gamester is gone.]] / Mischief, speaking: Boss?

The air is filled with alien spaceships. Against the backdrop of the sky, the outline of the Gamester is seen in a flash of light, as if he is being transported or teleported.]] / [[The Gamester appears and looks around with his arms folded and a grim expression on his face. Explosions go off on either side of him, but he does not seem to pay attention to them.]] / The Gamester, thinking: I know you're here... I can feel you, just like you can feel me. So much chaos... You thrive on it, but where are you hiding...? / [[Frowning, the Gamester looks silently at the Emperor's fortress. Alien spacecraft are in the air above it. One shoots a blast at the fortress. There are other explosions on the hill and in the air.]] / [[A window appears in the wall of the fortress, showing the Emperor's throne room. Perhaps it is the Gamester's vision, not a literal window. Outlines of Nick and the Emperor are crouched in front of an outline of the Emperor's MUTEX.

General Protection Fault--The Comic Strip [[We see a room where the two Nick's are working on the nega-MUTEX. / The Gamester, semi-transparent, is passing through the solid window. Alien spacecraft and a ruined city can be seen in the background. The Gamester is looking angrily resolved]] / [[Now viewed from the outside, we see Justin, Fooker and Maddie defending a doorway, Fooker aiming an alien weapon at something behind the door. In front of the window, the Gamester, angry, is looking back at a Voice from behind him]] / Voice: So, G-man... You've finally figured it out. You caught me red-handed. I was beginning to wonder if you were getting soft in your infinitely old age. / [[The Gamester has turned towards a dark shape behind him. through the window in the background we see (posi-)Trudy and (posi-)Ki lifting something, as well as the vague shape of Dexter]] / Gamester: You KNEW this universe was in my jurisdiction. / Voice: Of course! If I HAD to fight anyone, I'd much rather it be you. No one else much of a CHALLENGE. / [[In a completely black panel, a face lights up. Only the eyes, mouth, and wrinkles-around-the-nose in what is probably a mask can be seen. The face is sporting a mischievous, evil grin.]] / Voice: But this... Just like old times.

Of course, Nicky-Poo did most of the work. But I contributed... / Gamester: I'm not here for idle chat. / [[Pandemonium is off panel. Gamester leans toward him, speaking angrily through clenched teeth.]] / Pandemonium: I can tell. I thought you weren't _allowed_ to directly interfere, but I can sense you stretching time to give these multi-cellular bacteria a chance to escape. / Gamester: You interfered first. / [[Pandemonium's body and the lower half of his face emerge from the shadow. Like the Gamester's, his clothing is multi-patterned and apparently multi-colored. His one visible hand is claw-like.]] / Pandemonium: Oh, let's not justify our own transgressions. You bind yourself to rules and regulations, yet toss them aside when they're no longer convenient. / Gamester: When dealing with those who abhor rules, one learns to be flexible. / [[The Gamester is off panel. Pandemonium's face is close up and fully visible. He has hair on one side of his head, and something that looks like exposed brain matter on the other side. His face is also divided, with half looking like possibly normal skin, and half looking reptilian. He maintains his evil, leering grin.]] / Gamester: Enough talk. I'm giving you one last chance to reverse your tamperings and free these mortals, _Pandemonium_. / Pandemonium: As _they_ like to say, make me.

Trudy kneels next to her, one hand behind NegaTrudy's shoulders and the other under her bent knees. Her face still shows surprise.]] / Trudy: (loudly) I'VE BEEN HIT! (quietly) Well, sort of.
GPF Archive: Monday, February 12, 2007 [[The Emperor's throne room. Justin is aiming the energy cannon at the balcony, where two enemy walkers are climbing in. Chuck faces the balcony. Agent #18 is at the right. Justin and #18 face back into the room, looking angry.]] / Justin: The cannon is overheating! / Agent #18: There's just too many of them! / [[Another part of the throne room. Maddie, with an intense look of concentration, checks the neck pulse of the unconscious NegaTrudy. Sharon is behind them, and Trudy is in the background with a sad look on her face.]] / Sharon: How is she? / Maddie: She's out cold, but she seems to be okay. Bet her gut will ache for a few days... if we live that long. / [[Another part of the throne room. Nick and the Emperor are working on the MUTEX. Both frown in concentration.]] / Emperor: Who could be blocking our signal? No one has our technology... / Nick: Beats me, but it seems to be subsiding. / [[The Gamester and Pandemonium are seen in profile, facing each other and reaching toward each other, their faces set and teeth bared in rage or concentration, with intense white lights where their hands seem to meet. A voice comes from off panel.]] / Emperor: Maybe our interferer is distracted... / [[Nick and the Emperor look at the MUTEX. Nick, in profile, has a dark circle under his one visible eye, but he smiles. The Emperor holds an laser welder behind his back, away from Nick.]] / Nick: Well, as long as he or she stays that way... Eureka! We've locked onto the signal! I can access my MUTEX! / [[Nick's fingers appear to be typing something into the MUTEX. As he speaks, the Emperor pulls out the laser welder and aims it at Nick. Ki is visible in the background.]] / Nick: Now we just need some cover so we can make our escape! / Emperor: Heh... Who said "we?"
