AN : This was made using my custom Worm CYOA now. Here's some info. 
http://nightgazer.altervista.org/Nightgazer%27s_Worm_CYOA/Nightgazer%27s_Worm_CYOA.htm . 
My CYOA was made by combining stuff from Worm CYOA versions one, two, and 
three now. Here's some info. 
http://nightgazer.altervista.org/Worm_CYOA_Version_3/index.htm . You can put 
a 1 or a 2 in place of the 3 to get the other versions as well if you want. 
Hope that this helps you out some.

AN2 : The 'Online Worm CYOA Complete Form' does not exist, I know; I 
checked.

Prologue



Taylor Hebert came to in a daze. She gasped, shook her head, and looked 
around. She was confused since the last she could remember was dying.

'Is this the Afterlife?' she thought.

She realized she couldn't sense her bugs anymore. In fact, her powers seemed 
to be gone. She was back to being an ordinary human again.

She whimpered in fear at the thought.

There was nothing around her but an empty, large, white plain of existence.

She stared around her and then noticed a... figure. The figure was dressed 
in robes, with a hood, and was glowing a very bright white. Taylor gulped 
and wondered if this was..... ummm.

The figure stretched it's arms out in welcome.

She walked toward it.

As she got nearer the figure held out it's hand to her.

She took it.

The figure revealed itself to be... huh,, John de Lancie?!

He looked at her and said "Welcome to the Afterlife Taylor Hebert. You're 
dead."

---

Taylor just stared. This was the Afterlife. She was dead. And she was 
talking to a... glowing John de Lancie.

'Seriously.' she thought to herself. 'What the heck is up with this? A 
glowing John de Lancie?!'

"You're John de Lancie!" she blurted out.

He smiled at her and said "I have many names. John de Lancie. Q. Discord. 
These are but a few amongst the many I have."

She just stared at him and thought 'Q?! Discord?! Oh sod it. Why do I have 
the feeling I am in so much bloody trouble now?'.

She opened her mouth and asked "Why am I here?"

John? No. Discord? No. Q? Yeah that was it. She'd settle on that. Q then 
said "Because you died."

"Yeah." said Taylor. "I kinda already figured that part out. I meant why am 
I here and not roasting in Hell where I really belong?"

Q looked a little shocked and said "Hell? Really now Taylor. You didn't do 
anything bad enough for that now."

Taylor blinked and asked "I didn't?"

Q shook his head and said "No. Only the worst of the worst go to Hell. Hell 
is a terrible place. I should know. I helped to create it."

Taylor stared at him and asked "You helped to create Hell?"

Q nodded and said "I helped the Creator to create many things. Me and some 
others. Until Lucifer went mad. And rebelled against the Creator. That 
caused our little group to be disbanded."

Taylor gawked and said "Oh."

"But enough about that." Q said. "We're talking about why you're here. And 
what you're going to do now."

Taylor said "I can't do much now. I'm dead. Kinda stops one from doing much 
eh?"

"Yes, you are dead." Q said. "And the dead usually don't do much. But there 
are ways around that."

"Oh?" asked Taylor becoming interested.

"How would you like to live again?" asked Q.

"WHAT?!" demanded Taylor.

"I asked how you would like to live again." said Q.

Taylor just gaped then said "YES!"

"Excellent." said Q. "Now first I must explain something. What is reality in 
one universe is fiction in another, and vice versa."

"Ummm..." said Taylor.

"There are many different universes in the multiverse." said Q. "And in one 
of those universes Taylor Hebert, her universe, and all that she 
experienced... is a work of fiction. It's a web serial called Worm written 
by a man named John McCrae, who also goes by the internet identity of 
Wildblow, centered around her and her life."

Taylor blinked. Taylor stared. "SAY WHAT NOW?!"

"Oh yes." said Q. "Very much true. Fans of the series call her universe the 
Wormverse. It is very popular and has spawned lots of fanart, fangroups, 
fanfiction. Oh gods, the fanfiction. They have so many fics of her 
Triggering at a different time, or with a different Power, or lots of 
differences."

"Fanfiction?" asked Taylor. "What? Fanfiction about... me?"

"Well not you exactly." said Q. "I'm talking about a different Taylor 
Hebert. She is in what is called the cannon Wormverse. You my dear are not. 
You are from an alternate."

Taylor blinked at that and said "What the bloody 'ell do you mean 
alternate?"

"Well that right there is one of the differences." said Q. "In the cannon 
Wormverse Taylor Hebert's mother is not British. She's real American. And so 
there you don't have any British-isms. You're an all American girl."

Taylor blinked at that. She tried to wrap her mind around it, but couldn't. 
She considered herself a British girl loyal to the Queen.

"One of the other differences is that in the cannon Wormverse there are only 
three 'main' gangs in the city instead of four." said Q. "The E88, the ABB, 
and the Merchants. Unlike your universe which has a fourth gang called the 
Cockneys. Made up of lowlife scum who migrated from London."

"A universe where the soddin Cockneys aren't around to cause bloody 
trouble?" Taylor asked. "Huh. Now that sounds real good." she said 
remembering all the trouble she had with that gang before.

Then she blinked and said "Wait, what was that about the fanfiction again?"

"Oh don't even get me started on the shipping fics." said Q. "The ones 
matching her with Amy Dallon aren't so bad. The ones matching her with Lisa, 
aka miss Tattletale, aren't so bad either. The one I read matching her with 
Sophia made me go 'Whuh?' though. And there are so many others too."

Taylor just stared. "Shipping? Matchups? Amy? Tattletale? Sophia? Sophia! 
Seriously what the bloody sodding 'ell?! You just gotta be kidding me there 
mate!"

Q shook his head. "You'd be surprised what some of the fans can come up 
with. Believe me, the internet is a strange place. Ah. But let's get back to 
my point. You see, they also made CYOA's for this series. And it is by one 
of them that you may be restored to life."

"I can be restored to life... by a CYOA?" asked Taylor.

"Yes." said Q. "I cannot put you back on your Earth Bet. Your time is done 
there. But I can put you on another Earth Bet. You just have to read this 
here CYOA and I can put you there using the choices others have made."

"Where is this CYOA at?" asked Taylor.

Q gestured and a floating screen suddenly appeared. "Take a look."

"Nightgazer's Worm: CYOA." read Taylor.

Taylor then nodded.

She read the CYOA exactly.

---

"Alright." she said. "I've read it. Wait a minute... Did you say..... The 
choices -others- have made?"

Q nodded and said "Yes I did Taylor. You see these CYOAs are usually a trap. 
We spread them amongst mortals in the worlds where the Wormverse is fiction. 
The mortals then fill them out. Boy are they surprised when their choices 
then come true!"

Taylor just looked at him and said "Why?"

"Why?" asked Q. "Why to be entertained of course. We watch after they have 
arrived. Some have gone on to do great things, even rule the world. And 
let's face it... the Wormverse could use any help it could get now."

Taylor sighed, depressed, as she silently agreed with that.

She looked at him and asked "But why did you say others will make my choices 
for me?"

"Because Taylor, you're dead." he said to her. "The mortals we spread those 
to get to make their own choices for one specific reason, they're alive. The 
dead we offer this chance to are already getting a huge favor. So as part of 
the payment you will owe us for restoring your life. You must let us make 
the decisions for you."

"Oh." said Taylor.

"Or." he said. "You could forget the whole thing. Go on to the afterlife and 
forfeit your chance to live again for all time."

"No." said Taylor shaking her head. "I died too bloody young. I want to live 
again now."

"Alright." said Q. Louder he said "She said 'yes' boys! Start inputting some 
data for us here!"

A few minutes later there was a dinging sound, kinda like on a microwave, 
and the screen glowed too.

"Now." said Q. "Let's see what they've selected shall we?"

He positioned the screen so both of them could see it and Taylor read it.

"Self Insert." he said. "God mode. 'Disadvantages' of 'Kryptonite' (Allergy 
Yak Milk)." Q blinked. "Well, that's... strange. As long as you stay out of 
Tibet you should be fine. Let's see. What else. 'Enemy' (Evil Clone Of Vista 
Without Any Limitations). Scary. Really scary there. Hope you build up some 
power before you confront her. 'Geas' (a fear of large crowds of strangers). 
Well you already had that. 'Wanted' (ABB/E88/Cockneys). Since we're putting 
you in a universe similar to your own we decided to replace the Merchants 
with the Cockneys. So you will wind up getting them chasing after you after 
you arrive there then. Eh, you would have pissed them off anyway. 'Without a 
Map' (in a three-way fight between the E88/ABB/Cockneys). Knowing you, that 
would have happened."

Taylor had a strange look on her face and was muttering "Yak Milk? Seriously 
mate. What the bugger?!"

Q said "Now let's take a look at the rest of it. Hmmm... they seem to have 
skipped 'Things Get Worse'. Well Earth Bet is already bad enough, why make 
it more so now? Hmmm, let's see. 'Advantages'. They seem t'have chosen 
'Blank'. Well that'll make it hard for them to track you. 'Extra Skill' and 
for that skill they chose (Lawyer). An understanding of the law, especially 
a master's level, will serve you well. 'Mental Fortress'. Your mind will be 
quite protected. 'Temporal Ghost'. Coil will not be able to see you. Nor 
will Dinah. Or Lisa. 'Greater Vials' (for 5 vials). You might find them a 
bit useful. Maybe use them to power up your friends too. Or maybe even your 
father. 'Charles Atlas Superpowers'. My, you're going to be quite the 
superbeing. 'Comic Book Pretty'. Well, since you are a girl I suppose you 
should look good. 'Companion' (reformed Sunset Shimmer age twenty-five and 
one-half). Well that's an... interesting choice. She's a feisty one. And 
she's legal too. 'Man of Mystery'. Well with this and the other protections 
not even Contessa or others will be able to scan you. That'll make it hard 
for the evil Vista to hurt you. She'll have to use line of sight and the old 
fashioned Mark I eyeball. 'Resources'. Money is such a useful thing there. 
'Secret Lair'. Looks like you won't have to worry about sleeping in an 
alley. 'Special Snowflake'. Nobody's gonna be messing with your powers."

"Er..." went Taylor.

"Right." said Q. "Now on to 'For A Brighter World?'. Let's see here. 'For 
Want of a Nail' (shards do not cause conflict). Well, that ought to make 
things easier. 'Crossover' (Mass Effect) (both in the same universe). Well, 
that'll make things a little harder. Even after you defeat the Endbringers 
and Scion you will have to face the Reapers later on in time. Better get to 
Mars and dig up those Prothean ruins as soon as you can to save the Earth 
and prevent it's destruction."

"Bloody fucking 'ell!" shouted Taylor.

Q merely arched an eyebrow and said "Yes quite right my dear."

Taylor merely glared at him.

"Well let's see." said Q. "For 'Powers Lesser' they chose 'Twins' and 
(Flechette) then decided to use 'Jailbreak' and to (Increase Power). Well 
with the Sting Shard you have a much better chance."

"Ah." he said. "It seems they went back to 'Advantages' and chose 'Augmented 
Power' and used it on (Flechette). Well now dear. It seems you are going to 
have an entity killing weapon when you start out."

"Erg..." stumbled Taylor.

"Now." he said. "For 'Powers Greater' they chose 'Crossover' and (Mega Man 
X4) (Iris Thorne) (Have Her Body). Well, you're going to be a cute adult 
reploid girl now. Don't worry, you'll have nanites to keep you repaired. 
Also you'll be able to look fully human. Not surprising since her type of 
reploid is 'fully functional' too. And, she's British so that's just fine."

Taylor just blinked.

"Ah." he said. "And for 'World-Breaking Powers' they chose 'Power 
Manipulation'. You're going to be doing some neat stuff with that! Hmmm... 
It could be fun dear. I'll enjoy watching and seeing what you do with it 
once you're there."

Taylor was busy muttering obscenities under her breath.

Q looked at her in astonishment. "I don't think the human body bends that 
way. And I don't think that's anatomically possible."

Taylor then turned her attention on him.

"Iris Thorne." she said. "A reploid. Have her body. Nanites. And fully 
functional."

Q said "Um..."

She glared at him some.

Q said "Ah..."

She snarled like a wild jungle cat.

Q backed up a little bit and then said "Erm.....".

Taylor then started to advance on him.

"Yes um well off you go then." said Q making a certain gesture. "Goodbye. 
Enjoy the trip."

Taylor vanished away.

She appeared elsewhere.
