Stepping forward I chucked the staff up in air and caught it like a rifle before sending bolts of fire at the Black arms; who were flying around on those weird bat-like things whilst taking pot shots at me. One made the mistake of flying to low and I rewarded its mistake by decapitating it and running it through before flinging it off the side of the drop ship, I noticed Shadow had paused and was staring at me wide eyed.

“I've been through far too many kill-or-be-killed situations to care about clean kills” I said, decapitating another black arms and kicking it off the roof without looking “now get the fuck back to work!” he shook his head before unloading a hard-light clip into a small group of Black arms. I opened my com-link.

“Guys, you better get your arses up here” I said, shooting another Bat-like creature out of the sky “we're facing an armada of black arms all alone, we could really use your help”

“Uh, yeah” Minion said “where are you?”

“I’ll send out a homing beacon” I said, before tapping the watch on my wrist "try and actually get here before we kill them all this time" I then swung my staff in an ark just as a Black arms landed on the roof, resulting in the Black arms getting sliced in half and falling to the ground below. After a few minutes of holding the Black arms back I heard the whine of jet engine over the sound of Black Arm guns and suppressor fire, hundreds of Black Arm's warriors began to drop out of the sky under heavy fire I looked up to see a Manticore Dropship straithing the battle-line in front of us.

"GET SOME, YOU SKURWYSYNY!!!" the heavily accented voice of a male thestral called out over the com links, the cannon on the top of the fuselage aimed at a Black-bull and fired, the large monster let out a final defiant roar before plummeting to the sea below.

"Cheers, mate" i said, raising up my sword. The rest of my team flew out of the back of the Manticore and landed on the roof of the dragon.

"Honestly brother" Minion said fake-disapprovingly "you can't go half an hour without getting into some sort of trouble?"

"When you're in a fucking multiverse?" i asked, shooting down a Black arms riding one of those bat things "where the worst of evils want you dead? I like to see you not get into trouble all the time"

"Right, what's the objective?" Autumn asked.

"Get out of here as soon as possible and alert any nearby governments" i said "Get us out of here, Gluck!"

"Jawohl!" i heard her call over the com links and i felt the dropship shift, the Manticore provided suppressing fire as we turned tail and flew back to our camp, i opened up a hach on the roof and jumped inside, Shadow teleported after me, followed soon after by the other Neu-Toa.

*POV 3rd person*

The Jormungandr was moored up in a futuristic looking dock on an alternate version of Spherus Magna, on this one, the Spherus Magnans had worked side by side with The Terrans for eons, they also had the ability to shapeshift into vehicles, much like Cybertronians. Luna was walking along the walkways of the docks with this world's version of Mata Nui, he was about 20 foot tall, and could turn into a jet of some kind.

"This is most troubling" Mata Nui said "if your worlds Teridax is as large a threat as you say he is, then we both need all the help we can get" Luna nodded.

"Which is why it would be the logical choice to ally" the night alicorn said, at that moment a large, robotic red dragon landed in front of them and transformed into...Toa Tahu.

"Mata Nui, Makuta have been spotted in the shipping district" he said, Mata Nui nodded and went to summon reinforcements

"Dost thou needeth a hoof?" Luna asked, Tahu looked at her quizzically for a moment before understanding flashed across his features.

"Uh...sure, i guess" Tahu said, before transforming back into a dragon "try to keep up" Luna scoffed before taking off and hovering. Tahu followed suit.

"I'm surprisingly spy for a millennia old demigod" she said, flying after him as he shot off towards the shipping district. After flying for a few minutes they began to fly over an area filled with shipping containers. 'This must be the shipping district' Luna thought, suddenly she spotted a shadow moving amongst the containers 'Hmm, i wonder' she then banked towards the area where she spotted the shadow.

"Luna?" Tahu called.

"Go on ahead" she called back "i just need to check on something, i shalt not tarry long and shalt return hither i due course" Tauh looked at her quizzically but didn't question her any further. With that, Luna sped towards the containers and landed on the ground with an audible thud!.

"Better to be safe than sorry" she muttered, before lighting up her horn. Silver armour and a lance materialised, she took a step and frowned "i'm sure this armour is tighter around the waist" she quickly looked back at herself before snorting and carrying on at a cautious pace, her armour bore no sound, due to being enchanted with stealth and perception filtering charms. As she walked she got the feeing of the shadows watching her.

"Keep it together" she muttered, looking around nervously "there's only the risk of being discovered by 20 hoof tall, transforming tartarus spawn that would do my sister knows what to me, nothing...to...worry about" she rounded a corner she was promptly grasped by the neck by a large mechanical set of talons, that brought her face to face with a green and black mask sporting a set of nasty fangs.

"Well, what do we have here" the Makuta said "seems a pretty little princess is out of her castle" Luna quickly teleported away.

"I take it thou art the puhd Makuta that hast been skulking around hither?" Luna asked, readying her lance.

"Indeed, you may call me Mutran, 'milady'" as he said the last part, he gave a bow, his words dripping with sarcasm. His right arm changed into a cannon that glowed green and he quickly opened fire, Luna took off "Looks like some'pony' needs their wings clipped!" and with that, Mutran turned into a green and black jet fighter and took off after the alicorn.

"Ha ha ha! You can fly, but you can't hide" Mutran said, before unleashing a hailstorm of missiles at Luna. The Alicorn brought up a shield, protecting her from the blast.

"BEGONE FOUL DEMON!!!" Luna boomed, before leveling her staff and sending forth a beam of pure magic, causing Mutran to shoot through the sky like a rocket. Luna sighed and landed on the ground, just as she was getting ready to go and find Tahu she heard chuckling.

"Most impressive, Princess" a deep voice boomed from seemingly everywhere at once, one that Luna easily recognised.

"Teridax!?" she exclaimed, her head snapping around "Show thyself" she heard footsteps coming from behind her and she slowly turned to face the elder Makuta. He was about 30 foot tall, with armour that seemed to be held together by superheated stone, his chest peice resembled a giant horned skull and he carried a flaming whip and sword. on his back were a pair of giant, flaming wings and he was surrounded by an aura of dark flames.

"I have no reason to hide" he said "you might be from another world, but you reek of anger, and pride, and jealousy just like this worlds Luna"

"Silence!" Luna boomed, her eyes briefly flashing white.

"I didn't come here to fight you, merely to make an offer" he said, Luna didn't move to attack, but she didn't lower her weapon either "consider this, you face a problem at the hands of another version of me, I face a dilemma as i don't share to imposters, what's the old saying; 'The enemy of my enemy is my friend'? your choice" he held out his hand, Luna looked at it before raising an eyebrow.

"Doth thou think i'm a fool?" she asked, her fur turning darker as her horn and eyes began to glow red "Thou thinks I would side with the likes of thou? Thou think thyself to be the master of shadows, thou fool! thou can barely even begin to comprehend the powers thou was gifted with, let alone competently use them. I was born into shadow, I am shadow! Shadow merely honours thou with allowing thyself to sample a fraction of its true power, thou are like a child beneath a god!"

"Stay back!" Teridax demanded, sending forth a bolt of shadow, Luna merely deflected it.

"You are nothing compared to ME!" Luna boomed, before launching at Teridax and pinning him against a container "You claim to control fear, I will show you true terror!" Teridax struggled against Luna's lance, and for the first time in eons, he felt the smallest hint of fear

"What in the name of Karzahni are you?" Teridax asked.

"The one true master of shadows!" Luna boomed, before grabbing the colossal Makuta in her magic and flinging him far away. she sighed and diminished her dark aura before flying off to find the Tahu. Next Chapter: Chapter 28 Estimated time remaining: 3 Hours, 9 Minutes
