"I think you're badly mistaken" you exclaim breathlessly as he places you back on the ground.

"No - no mistake, Harry.", he says gleefully as he quickly scribbles a zig-zag on your forehead with a permanent marker pen.

The walls of the dojo dissolve and you find yourself back in the sewers, surrounded by the same badly clothed
derelicts as before. Some of them are clustered around the body of Morpheus, trying desperately to revive him.

"Ok - it looks like I'm the Boss now - the Chosen One - King Muckity-Muck etc", you say as you stand

"What's going on?" you ask in puzzled trepidation as you watch him slowly crouch into a fighting pose.

"That's for me to know and you to find out" Morpheus sniggers, lashing his foot into your groin,
