Things get rather interesting when a weird old guy in a trans-dimensional orb who claims to be the Master of the Universe has a little chat with Jinnai and the whole crew ends up getting dumped in another alternate world. Now Makoto and Nanami aren't the only strangers in a strange land (and they were just getting used to El Hazard, too), and strange this land is. What with floating farms, a slightly unhinged emperor and his cold-as-ice general, and the Spring of Life that powers their capital, this is definitely not Kansas. Well, things go from weird to ugly when part of the group ends up living on a peaceful farm, part is captured by another bunch of bugs, and a third faction gets stuck in the imperial palace, where the emperor has gotten it into his head that Makoto can fix the dying Spring of Life... or else. Oh, and there's the fourth group: Fatora, Allele, and Allele's dead ringer (and male) cousin Parnase (what is it with lesbians looking like the guys in this series, anyway?). That threesome is just wandering around ignoring the plot and making trouble (as if that were a surprise). <br />
