Chapter 17

 

A few weeks later, we were ready to set off, we were currently in the village beneath the temple of the Jade Palace whilst Po said goodbye to Mister Ping.

“Why do you have to go?” Mister Ping asked “You’ll be on strange worlds, filled with strange noodles”

“I’m sorry Dad” Po said “We’ve got to go save the universe, that’s kind of an even bigger deal than saving Kung Fu” Mister Ping sighed before nodding, the Furious Five and Po walked onto the Dragon.

“Don’t worry” I said “we’ll be back before you can say ‘HLan-vairay-poohl-guin-gihl-gogery-u-queern-droboohl-hlatisilio-go-go-goch*’” a confused look came over every ones faces apart from Autumn and Breezy, who sighed and face palmed/hooved.

“What did you say?” Ruby asked as we walked inside the Dragon, both Breezy and Autumn rolled their eyes before saying as one.

“Saint Mary’s church in the hollow of the white hazel near to the rapid whirlpool of LLantysilio of the red cave**”

“I love using that word to mess with people” I said, sitting down.

“Well” Mantis said, as the Dragon took off “at least we’ll actually be back before he can say it”


*a few minutes later*

We were now all on the Jörmungandr, waiting for it to take off.

“How can something so large fly so easily?” Tigress asked.

“Magic!!!” Deadpool shouted, appearing out of nowhere and startling everyone before disappearing.

“Bloody hell” I muttered “I swear the day he meets Pinkie will be the day the universe ends” at that moment the shields activated and the ship began taking off.

“I’d hold onto something if I were you” I said, standing stock-still with my arms behind my back, the ship teleported with a blinding flash and I felt the sudden lack of gravity as I began slowly floating upwards.

“Whoa!” Po exclaimed, floating around. The ships artificial gravity engaged and I drooped back down whilst the Furious Five and Po dropped to the floor with a thud.

“I warned you” I said.

“What’s that!?” Viper asked, I looked to see her pointing at a strange, sphere like creature with four arms and two golden spheres for eyes.

“A Vacuumorph” I said “it’s kind of like a space monkey” Monkey raised an eyebrow.

“What’s it doing?” Po asked, watching the Vacuumorph floating inside the shields of the ship.

“Taking on oxygen” I said “they usually go to the upper atmosphere of planets, but if they can find easy source of oxygen they’ll take advantage. We still don’t know how they evolved to live in space, or what they even eat, they’re one of the big mysteries of the universe” at this point the Vacuumorph floated away. The ship began sailing(?)…flying(?)...spacing(?) towards the next planet.

It was a few days after we had left the planet, I was in the workshops, the next planet was a desert planet and I wanted to test out how fast my Hover bike could really go. I heard a commotion from one of the nearby work areas and walked over to see the Crusaders along with Tony Stark and Rocket Racoon working on a bike of some kind…gods help us all.

“What are you building?” I asked, Stark looked over.

“A quadrocycle that automatically adapts to the terrain it runs on” he said “I never thought I’d end up working with a talking racoon and three talking pony children”

“We’re 15!” they said indignantly

“Your still kids” Rocket said from underneath the bike.

“You’re still a racoon” Scootaloo shot back.

“Screw you” Rocket said, I left them to their banter and decided to have a look around at the other work areas. Gobber was making Protosteel armour for the dragons, Hiccup was tinkering with some sort of device. I found Ruby working on her Kaita slayer, along with Breezy and Skohka, hadn’t seen him in a while. The Kaita slayer was taller, now about 30 ft. tall, with a double decked cockpit and an extra set of arms. On the top level of the cockpit it said ‘Kaita LLeiddiad***’

“Hey, guys” I said “what are you doing?”

“Adapting it for two individuals” Ruby said “when Kraata-Kal trashed it he attacked from behind”

“Your solution?” I asked.

“Have two cockpits and two pairs of arms” Breezy said, soldering some wires in one of the arms “although the top cockpit will rotate so that both pilots can attack from both the front and the back”

“How are you getting the tech for this?” I asked.

“Howdy” I heard Scattershot say from behind me, I turned around to see the 30 ft. tall Cybertronian carrying a bunch of mechanical parts “yawl are lucky that I can fit in here”

“Well, that explains that” I muttered, they seemed fine so I left them to it and walked off to see if I could find anyone else I knew. I soon found Garnet sat at a bench of some kind, his robotic arm was detached and on the table, but he wasn’t actually doing anything, I walked over and I could see the vacant expression on his face “Garnet, are you alright?” he jumped.

“Oh, it’s just you” he said “yeah, I’m fine it’s just…”

“Having doubts about being a father?” I suggested, I saw the surprised look on his face and chuckled as I sat down next to him “I’ve been there, if you’re having doubts then that’s usually a good sign. It means you care about how you’ll do, which means you’ll be great” he smiled.

“Thanks, Dad” he said.

“Now then” I said “what are you working on?” he picked up his robotic arm.

“The wrist’s been a little loose recently” he said.

“Pass it here” I said, picking up a screwdriver. Garnet passed it to me and I began tightening the screws until they were all fully adjusted. I was passing it back to him when my watch pinged.

“Sir” Jörmungandr said “there is a vessel approaching, they have a message for the crew”

“Put it through” I said, big fucking mistake.

“EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE!” at that moment I felt like taking Garnet and hiding somewhere.

“Oh fuck no” I said, starting to panic as the message looped, I turned to Garnet “Garnet, take Thel and protect her, if this ship falls, I need you to take a dropship and get out of here”

“What about you?” he asked.

“I’ll be buying everyone time” I then pulled him into a hug and kissed him on the forehead “I love you, son” I bolted for the armoury, in my powerless state my sword wasn’t going to cut it this time.


*POV 3rd Person*

Minion was in the dining hall with Vinyl and Aurora.

“EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE!”

Minion dropped his glass of cider, which shattered when it hit the floor.

“Oh, no” Minion said “oh god no”

“What’s wrong?” Vinyl asked “Minion, do you know them?” Minion pulled Vinyl and Aurora in to a hug and kissed their foreheads.

“I’m so sorry” Minion said “there’s nothing we can do, we’re dead”

“EVERY FUCKING TOA ON THIS FUCKING SHIP GET YOUR ARSE INTO FUCKING GEAR!!!” Vuur Koning shouted over the tannoy system “WE HAVE DALEKS INBOUND. THIS IS AN EXTINCTION LEVEL THREAT! ALL NON ESENTIAL PERSONELL MUST PREPARE TO EXACUATE IMEDIATELY!!!”

“Aurora” Minion said “I want you to go find Princess Luna and go with her”

“But…Dad, what about you and Mum?” the green dragoness asked, a tear ran down Minion’s cheek as he pulled her into a hug.

“We’ll be making sure you have a chance to escape” he said “we’re so proud of you, now go!” Minion pushed her away, she sighed before flying off.


*POV 1st person Vuur Koning*

I ran along the corridors as fast as my legs could take me

“Jörmungandr!” I said through my watch “I’m initiating the sunset protocol, open fire on the Dalek vessel, if you see a Dalek on board…destroy it”

“Understood, sir” I heard the AI say, shudders began to rock the ship as the guns began firing.

“Vuur Koning” Scar said, running alongside me “what are your orders?”

“Stop the Daleks from entering this ship” I said “our personal safety is lowest priority, as of now, Teridax is no longer the most prominent threat”


*POV 3rd person. Location: Dalek Saucer; bridge*

As Daleks began to prepare to board the ship a controller turned to the Supreme Dalek; an elite Dalek with red and gold armour, three speech indicators and stood a couple of inches taller than the rest.

“DALEK SUPREME” a Dalek barked in the usual grating, high mechanical voice of a Dalek “INFERIOR VESSEL HAS OPENED FIRE”

“RETURN FIRE” the Supreme Dalek said in a voice several deca-octaves lower that a dalek’s normal voice “PREPAIR TO BOARD THE VESSEL AND EXTERMINATE THEM!”

“I OBEY” the Dalek said, somewhere on the bridge a Dalek called out.

“EMPEROR ON THE BRIDGE” at the moment a Dalek appeared on an elevator. It wasn’t like usual Daleks, instead of gold armour it was white, and it had no weapons whatsoever. In place of a cranial dome with an eyestalk and speech indicators it had a giant dome. The dome slid away to reveal Davros; creator of the Daleks.

“We will destroy them” he said “AND DEMONSTRAIGHT THE POWER OF THE DALEKS!”

“EMPEROR” the Supreme Dalek said, turning it’s eyestalk towards Davros “WE ARE READY TO BOARD THE VESSEL”

“Excellent” Davros said “send a small boarding party, I want to see what we’re up against before we totally destroy them”

“AND THE ABOMINATIONS?” the Supreme Dalek asked.

“The heavy weapons Daleks might be insane” Davros said “but they still have their uses, send some in the next wave”

“I OBEY” the Supreme Dalek said.


*POV 1s person Vuur Koning*

Myself, all of the Toa, Deadpool, the Avengers, the Guardians of the Galaxy, the Spartans and the Arbiter were all stood in the corridor where the Daleks were going to be boarding.

“Alright” I said “tonight, we make our last stand. It’s been an honour serving with you all”

“I am Groot” Groot said, nodding.

“Couldn’t’ve said it better myself, old friend” Rocket said.

“Mahri?” I asked, turning to the Toa “don’t hold back, they won’t hesitate to kill you. We’re probably all going to die anyway so you may as well leave your moral code behind.

“With pleasure” Congu said, cocking his air blasters. I noticed Master Chief reloading his pistol.

“Don’t bother, Chief” I said “their shielding will melt the bullets before they’ve even touched the Dalekanium armour”

“You know” Crimson said “for once I’d like to meet an alien menace that wasn’t bullet proof. No offence, Arby”

“None taken” the Arbiter said, the door at the end of the corridor began to glow, before blowing completely off its hinges.

“SEEK. LOCATE. ANNIHILATE!” a Dalek barked, its indicators flashing through the smoke and dust.

“SEEK. LOCATE. DESTROY!” another said.

“HUMAN AND NON-HUMAN LIFE FORMS DETECTED” a third called out “EXTERMINATE THEM! EXTERMINATE THEM!!!” they appeared out of the smoke. They didn’t look like normal Daleks, they were squatter and hovered a few feet of the ground. They had Dalekanium panels that were separate from the body of the Dalek and they had a single, central gun instead of the whisk and sink-plunger combo found on normal Daleks. These were recon-scout Daleks, snipers of the Dalek battle fleet.


*POV 3rd Person*

On an uninhabited desert planet somewhere in the multiverse, a light bulb appeared above Discords head as he wrought random chaos upon the planet.

“Oh?” he said, picking the light bulb off of his head and holding it as it projected an image of the Jörmungandr with a Dalek saucer next to it “someone needs me. For freindship” he ate the light bulb and snapped his fingers, a cliché super hero costume appeared on him with a flash and he promptly disappeared in a nuclear explosion of chaos that left a 1000ft high, bright pink, candy floss mushroom cloud that began raining chocolate milk and a shockwave that rolled over the ground with the sound of 1000 cows mooing and left a checkerboard pattern in its wake.
