We finally reached a dark and evil place in Metropolis, filled to the brim with moans and screams of innocent people. Green energy walls were set up, with the LexCorp symbol. Three Orcs in complete armor and carrying spears stood guard at the gate, one of them looking nervous. \u201cI think I heard something that time!\u201d yelped the nervous Orc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou didn\u2019t hear anything!\u201d snarled the second Orc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026There, Ma!\u201d called the first Orc to the second. \u201cDon\u2019t you hear it?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYes,\u201d hissed the Orc mother, testily, \u201cI heard a prisoner\u2019s blood hitting the ground!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSounds like bats!\u201d stammered the nervous Orc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBats aren\u2019t made of liquid!\u201d growled the Orc mother. \u201cBats don\u2019t drip!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBat water!\u201d cried the nervous Orc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThere are no bats!\u201d shouted the third Orc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou don\u2019t know that, Dad!\u201d protested the nervous Orc. \u201cWhat if you\u2019re wrong?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOkay, let\u2019s assume your mother and I are wrong,\u201d snarled the Orc father. \u201cLet\u2019s assume there ARE bats. So what? You\u2019re wearing state of the art Orc armor! It\u2019s designed to take heavy damage and deflect whatever these things shoot.\u201d He gestured to the gun he had confiscated from a police officer. \u201cWhat can a flying five-ounce rodent possibly do to you?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026So, you\u2019re saying there ARE bats!\u201d gulped the nervous Orc. His mother face palmed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSure, let\u2019s go with that,\u201d she snarled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2019m getting out of here!\u201d cried the nervous Orc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNo, you\u2019re not!\u201d snarled his mother. \u201cSauron told us to guard this gate, so we\u2019re guarding this gate!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAt least, let us get near a light source!\u201d begged the nervous Orc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThat would involve moving,\u201d growled his father, \u201cand go against our stone-faced \u2018no moving\u2019 guard policy!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBut the light-\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c-would help us see the bats!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNO.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAnd their fangs!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNO!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026Hey, you know what else loves cities?\u201d asked the Orc son. \u201cBirds!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou little turd!\u201d growled the father, getting as nervous as his son. \u201cWhy would you mention birds to me and your mother?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2019m just saying\u2026\u201d the Orc son didn\u2019t complete his sentence as a batarang knocked all three out. We stepped out of our hiding place and opened the gate. What we saw was horrible. People were being tortured, dangled off the towers, and trying to escape the Orcs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt looks like they\u2019ve turned this place into a prison!\u201d gulped Wyldstyle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSauron will enslave all of mankind,\u201d hissed Gandalf as he looked at the top of Barad-d\u00fbr.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNot on my watch!\u201d promised Batman. That\u2019s when an eye made of flame and shadow appeared at the top of the fortress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2026SEE\u2026YOU!\u201d called Sauron. \u201cLocate help from Foundation Prime!\u201d A portal opened to drop a giant elephant like creature with four tusks instead of two. It had some sort of transport on its back and had red and black war paint on its front. It had two devices, one on its front left leg and one on its rear left leg. It had two four-barreled gun turrets on its left side and had Orcs, Combatmen, goons in two colored suits and roller skates, and Vortexons riding it. That\u2019s when a man with a scarred left face and a suit in two colors on each half came up from the mount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWell, well!\u201d chuckled the man in a voice that went from normal to raspy. \u201cIf it isn\u2019t our old friend, Batman!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTwo-Face!\u201d snarled Batman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhere did you get the Oliphaunt?\u201d I asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAnd what have you done to that poor beast?!\u201d demanded Gandalf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cGiven it a facelift!\u201d answered Two-Face. \u201cWould you be interested in one?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI doubt it!\u201d replied Gandalf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou know,\u201d mused Seeker, \u201cthere\u2019s a tough choice here. Either you leave and we proceed to Sauron, or you stay and we kick your rear. Both choices have very good benefits for us. If you leave, it makes our job easier. If you stay, we beat you and gain satisfaction. Such a hard choice!\u201d She was grinning under her helmet, I just know it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThen let me help you choose!\u201d called Two-Face. He pulled out a coin. \u201cHeads or Tails?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHarvey, no!\u201d pleaded Batman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOoh, Tails!\u201d called Wyldstyle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWyldstyle, no!\u201d protested Seeker, whatever plan she had crumbling apart. Two-Face flicked the coin into the air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDon\u2019t worry,\u201d assured Wyldstyle. \u201cI get this right almost half the time.\u201d Two-Face caught the coin and put it on his left hand. He got a look at it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSorry, it\u2019s heads!\u201d answered Two-Face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhat does heads mean?\u201d asked Wyldstyle, dreading the answer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThat you lose YOURS!\u201d replied Two-Face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a two-headed coin!\u201d snarled Seeker. \u201cOne side is ruined while the other side is fine! You would have lost anyway!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEven picking heads isn\u2019t a guarantee of winning,\u201d continued Batman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOh, that poor Oliphaunt!\u201d wailed Gandalf. \u201cSomething needs to be done about this!\u201d The Oliphaunt turned to have its left side face us. Enemy forces then surrounded us and attacked. We had to fight them off as we got closer to the Oliphaunt. It fired two beams of light to freeze us in our place. Ichig\u014d used his legs to break the ice that surrounded us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAgh!\u201d roared Two-Face. \u201cThat\u2019s the last time we deal with Mr. Freeze!\u201d The Oliphaunt then used its trunk to toss a car at us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI think we can use parts from that truck to help us!\u201d called Wyldstyle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cRoyal! Arch!\u201d yelled Batman. \u201cI\u2019ll need some help getting the parts!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cGot it!\u201d I replied. We were still in Batman Steel, thank goodness. We fired our grapple guns at the grill of the truck and yanked it off. It revealed a Keystone transmitter!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe Elemental Keystone should help us get closer to that\u2026elephant looking\u2026thing!\u201d figured Wyldstyle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt\u2019s called an Oliphaunt!\u201d I corrected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cElemental Keystone, activate!\u201d announced Gandalf. \u201cElement of fire, Tarantulas!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cFire?!\u201d spluttered Tarantulas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDon\u2019t be a baby!\u201d I snapped. \u201cIt won\u2019t hurt!\u201d A red aura surrounded Tarantulas. He was confused, then summoned a fireball. His optics lit up in glee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThese \u2018Keystones\u2019 you lot use,\u201d he cackled, \u201cshall prove quite useful!\u201d He tossed fireballs at the enemy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cElement of lightning, Royal!\u201d announced Gandalf. While Tarantulas kept the enemy off my back, I fired a lightning stream at the electric coils attached to the Oliphaunt\u2019s bracelets. It stumbled in fright as the bracelets exploded, along with the freeze turrets. \u201cEasy, my friend,\u201d said Gandalf. \u201cNo one is going to harm you now.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2019m afraid that\u2019s not true,\u201d oozed a venomous, female voice. That\u2019s when something sharp penetrated my back and pumped ooze into me. I felt my mouth forming spit. My vision went dark. The last thing I felt was my suit turning off before I lost total consciousness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That treacherous Predacon cackled as he extracted the needle from Megumi\u2019s back! She fell, as did the Oliphaunt. As it fell, Two-Face fell into a portal that opened for him. The Oliphaunt lost consciousness as hairy spider legs pulled their owner\u2019s fat, bulbous body up. It had something infectious covering a few of the eyes on the left. The massive spider, easily three times the size of the spiders we fought on the way here, had a dripping maw under its set of four fangs. If I were a betting girl, I\u2019d put money on this spider carrying the name Shelob. What surprised me was that she spoke. \u201cSo,\u201d she whispered, as she walked over the Oliphaunt\u2019s body, \u201cyou thought to squash us as if we were small house spiders?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNever turn your back on a spider!\u201d cackled Tarantulas. \u201cThey tend to be venomous!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI can\u2019t believe my smaller cousins said that you would feed them for a while,\u201d chuckled Shelob, referring to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhy do you guys pick on my twin sister more than me?!\u201d protested Guard. \u201cI\u2019m not exactly Mister Skinny myself!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNot nearly enough of a meal for the two of us,\u201d muttered Shelob. Guard gave off a scoff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMy dear Shelob,\u201d called Tarantulas, \u201cdinner is served.\u201d He presented Megumi to her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNow, her,\u201d chuckled Shelob, \u201cwith her in my gullet, you\u2019ll be aimless without her! That is feast enough!\u201d She made a move to get her, but my fencing foil just missed her eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cGet away from her, you filth!\u201d I hissed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI seem to have forgotten your name,\u201d asked Shelob.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cKamen Rider Touch\u00e9!\u201d I replied as I swapped the Batman i.d tag for my own. \u201cEn Garde, thing of evil!\u201d I turned to my friends. \u201cTake care of Tarantulas! Shelob\u2019s mine!\u201d I swung my foil at one of her eyes. She screeched and covered it with one of her pedipalps, using the other to try and keep me at bay. She then ignored the pain and leapt at me. I turned away and climbed up a prison wall, throwing an Orc at her. She knocked it aside as I tumbled down her back. I landed on the ground while Shelob kept to the high ground. She then did something that she never did in Middle-Earth!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cShelob, TERRORIZE!\u201d she announced Her transformation was like Tarantulas\u2019, even her robot mode. It took the appearance of his season 1 body. She was much more massive than Tarantulas and had three digited fingers instead of two digited claws.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhen did you become a Transformer?!\u201d I asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI sampled the spark inside a protoform,\u201d explained Shelob. \u201cIt altered my genetic structure and made me into the Predacon I am now.\u201d She jumped down, drawing a blade that dripped with a liquid I was sure was venom. I kept rolling out of the way while she jabbed the ground. I had lost my grip on my foil. My i.d tag came out of the belt. Oddly, my transformation wasn\u2019t cancelled. It was then I noticed a slot my i.d tag could fit into in the handle of my foil. Shelob jabbed again with her knife while I rolled to my blade and dodged another jab as I rolled to my i.d tag. I inserted it into the handle\u2019s slot, making it charge and surrounding the blade with blue light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cFinal Attack!\u201d announced my foil. Shelob\u2019s robot mode tummy was right over me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cRIDER TOUCH\u00c9 SLASH!\u201d I shouted. The light swiped across Shelob\u2019s abdomen, making it leak energon. She screeched in pain as she clutched it. I took my i.d tag and put it into my belt. I jumped up and prepared for my Rider kick. \u201cRIDER TOUCH\u00c9 KICK!\u201d I shouted as my foot made impact on her eyes. They cracked, making them drip energon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMY EYES!\u201d she shrieked. She doubled over and thrashed around in pain from her wounds. She limped off the battlefield, her broken gaze fixed on me. She soon disappeared from sight. I then turned to see my friends giving Tarantulas a hard time. He had a gaping wound in his chest. I grabbed a crystal shard and was about ready to plunge it into the wound, ready to kill. He grabbed my arms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cRaw\u2026energon!\u201d I grunted. \u201cRight through…your twisted\u2026anti-spark! There\u2019s a price to pay if you want to avoid it such a death!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cANYTHING!\u201d begged Tarantulas, scared for his life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe poison you stuck Megumi with!\u201d I snarled. \u201cWhat is it?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a mix of my cyber-venom and the venom in Shelob\u2019s stinger!\u201d yelped Tarantulas. \u201cI know the dosage of the antidote needed to cure her, but she may suffer from vomiting!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cGet her on her side!\u201d I barked to Richard as he cancelled his transformation. \u201cSupport her head with her arm! I don\u2019t want her choking on her vomit!\u201d Richard silently obeyed. \u201cAnd you,\u201d I whispered to Tarantulas, \u201cif this is a lie, your spark is extinguished!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2019m currently too terrified to lie!\u201d whimpered Tarantulas as he prepared the antidote. He then stuck the needle into her arm. We waited for a few seconds. It felt like an eternity, then I heard retching. Soon, Megumi threw up and coughed. The venom must have gone out as well. She slowly picked herself up with help from Batman and Gandalf. Relief passed over me like a wave. Tarantulas had fled, but I didn\u2019t care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It took me a while to finally see fully, but I was led to rest on a seat of rock. Soon, I could focus on things clearly. \u201cWhat happened?\u201d I slurred.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThat schemer, Tarantulas stuck you with a mix of his cyber-venom and the stuff in Shelob\u2019s stinger,\u201d explained Touch\u00e9 as she cancelled her transformation. Emily then sat near me. \u201cTarantulas had Shelob altered,\u201d she continued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAltered?\u201d I asked. \u201cHow?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cShe IS a Predacon,\u201d elaborated Richard. \u201cEmily engaged her in battle.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAnd won,\u201d declared Emily. \u201cSwallowing a Transformer\u2019s spark can do that to you, apparently. During the fight, I discovered that our weapons have a slot for our i.d tags to initiate an attack. I used it and my Rider kick to come out the victor.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cShe then threatened to stab Tarantulas\u2019 spark with raw energon unless he gave you the antidote,\u201d continued Richard. \u201cHe did and said that a side effect would be throwing up.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThat explains the burning in my mouth,\u201d I mused. \u201cEmily, we\u2019ll discuss you hiding a fandom you like from us later. On the other hand, I\u2019m in your debt for saving my life.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2019m trying to be a doctor,\u201d assured Emily. \u201cYou don\u2019t owe me anything.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOh yes, I do,\u201d I insisted. \u201cI\u2019ll think of a reward for when we get back.\u201d I got up slowly, no ill effects were showing. \u201cSo, am I cleared for duty?\u201d I asked Emily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2019d say you are,\u201d declared Emily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMuch better,\u201d cheered Wyldstyle. \u201cNow, to get through that doorway!\u201d She pointed to the gates of Barad-d\u00fbr. We approached it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cLet the Dark Lord come forth!\u201d I called. \u201cLet justice be done upon him!\u201d No one replied. The gates then slowly opened to let someone on a black horse come out. The rider dressed in black robes and wore a black helmet that made him look like some sort of evil priest. I was amazed that he could guide his horse because I saw no eye holes. All I saw was an enlarged, diseased mouth with splits around his lips that opened every time he spoke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI am the Mouth of Sauron!\u201d the rider proclaimed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHis emissary, you mean,\u201d I muttered. \u201cI don\u2019t wish to talk to you, but your master!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHe has business that occupies his time,\u201d answered the Mouth, \u201cand sends me to bid thee welcome to New Mordor.\u201d He appeared to glance around at us. \u201cIs there any in this rout with authority to treat with me?\u201d he asked. \u201cNot thou, little girl. It takes more to make a monarch than a rabble like this.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou have no choice but to speak with me!\u201d I snarled. I think my tone spooked his horse a bit as it stepped back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI am an emissary and ambassador and may not be assailed!\u201d cried the Mouth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhere such laws apply,\u201d I observed. \u201cNo one has made a move against you. I am the leader of this group and will be treated as such!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cVery well,\u201d growled the Mouth. \u201cMy master, Sauron the Great, has bidden me to give thee terms and tokens.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYour master\u2019s terms first!\u201d I demanded. Not exactly politic, but I wanted the Keystone out of Sauron\u2019s grasp quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cFirst,\u201d began the Mouth, \u201call lands once labeled Metropolis and Gotham must surrender to Sauron utterly. They will be his, and his alone, and they shall be called New Mordor. All of their surrounding cities and those protecting those cities must swear oaths never to raise arms in secret or openly. All those wishing to live must pay tribute to New Mordor once a year.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThese are heavy terms,\u201d I said. \u201cWould you mind if I make counter-terms?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cName them,\u201d demanded the Mouth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTell your master this; his armies are to disband!\u201d I hissed. \u201cHe must swear an oath to gather his men and leave these lands, never to return! We did not come here to treat with Sauron or his slave, O Faithless and Accursed!\u201d The Mouth laughed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAnd that leads into the tokens I was bidden to show thee!\u201d he chuckled. He dropped a sack in front of us, which opened and spilled. The contents\u2026oh, I wish I didn\u2019t see them. They included, but were not limited to, my mother\u2019s glasses, Robin\u2019s boot, Frodo\u2019s cloak, Ichimonji\u2019s jacket, and MetalBeard\u2019s cannon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIchimonji!\u201d breathed Hongo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cQuiet!\u201d I directed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNo!\u201d wailed Emily, about to cry as she held her father\u2019s scarf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cQuiet!!\u201d I called, my own grief about to come up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe hostages on Foundation Prime were dear to thee, I see,\u201d hissed the Mouth in delight. \u201cKnow that they suffered greatly at the hands of their host! Who would have thought ones like them could endure so much pain? And they did, Megumi. They did.\u201d That did it. I drew myself up to my full height and strode to the emissary of Mordor. \u201cAnd what do you intend to do?\u201d he asked. \u201cNone may attack an emissary.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou lost that right the instant you presented these things to us and taunted us!\u201d I snarled before I leapt up, my blade liberating his head from his shoulders. As his lifeless body fell from the horse that took off in fright, I turned to my friends. \u201cI don\u2019t believe that they\u2019re dead!\u201d I declared. \u201cNot until I have definitive proof!\u201d The gates had shut at that time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cLet me show you how it\u2019s done,\u201d called Wyldstyle. She used her Master Builder powers to make a massive turret to blow the gates down. \u201cYeah! That takes care of that thing!\u201d said Wyldstyle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2019m calling that thing after the Orcs\u2019 battering ram, Grond!\u201d I cheered. I then faced the now open gates. \u201cCHARGE!\u201d I shouted. We ran into Barad-d\u00fbr and ploughed through Sauron\u2019s forces to enter his throne room. Sauron sat with Turretorg and Discornia flanking him and the Keystone set on the headrest of his seat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cShe said you would come,\u201d rumbled Morgoth\u2019s former Lieutenant, \u201cto save the weak.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2018She said\u2019?\u201d asked Batman. \u201cWho said? Did Discornia there say?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNo,\u201d corrected Discornia, \u201cit\u2019s our immediate boss.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
+VORTECH IS NOT YOUR LEADER+ countered my belt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBeg pardon?\u201d I asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
+VORTECH HAS BRAINWASHED TARLAXIANS TO SERVE HIM+ explained my belt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTarlaxians?\u201d I asked. \u201cYou mean people like Turretorg and Discornia?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
+CORRECT+ confirmed my belt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cInnocent people brainwashed into service,\u201d I muttered, \u201ccan this get any harder?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe are advanced Vortexons!\u201d argued Turretorg. \u201cNot filthy Tarlaxians!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI can handle these liars,\u201d purred a voice. A woman stepped out from behind Sauron\u2019s throne.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIgura!\u201d exclaimed Hongo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSurprise!\u201d she laughed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHow are you alive?!\u201d yelped Hiroki. \u201cA crazed Urga killed you!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cVortech saw fit to resurrect me,\u201d explained Igura. \u201cIt made Death a little mad, though. Not that I care. I have enough power to defeat her. Hiro fought against War and Death and survived.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThat HAS to be a joke!\u201d protested Lukas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt isn\u2019t,\u201d insisted Igura. \u201cAnd with the technology Shocker Nova has at its disposal now,\u201d she revealed a belt that looked like an eagle sitting on Earth with its wings at its sides, \u201cwe have a perfect Rider.\u201d She crossed her left arm in front of her, with the hand in a clawed fashion, and slowly moved it across the front with her right hand at her hip. \u201cNova\u2026\u201d she began. Her left hand then went to her hip as her right hand moved across her front with a clawed hand. \u201cHENSHIN!\u201d She then opened the wings of the eagle so it looked like it was about to take flight. The Earth it sat on split open to reveal a small red fan. She jumped up, the wind pressure turning the fan to form a suit! Instead of a grasshopper design, like Hongo\u2019s suit, Igura\u2019s suit was more bird like. It was brown with a gold, triangular face guard, had red eyes, talons on the fingers, wings folded back, and clawed boots. \u201cI am Shocker Nova\u2019s first Rider,\u201d purred Igura. \u201cKamen Rider Talon! Your finances are in grave danger!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEnough!\u201d boomed Turretorg. \u201cLet\u2019s just kill them!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThey and the west shall fall!\u201d confirmed Sauron<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSilence, fiend!\u201d bellowed Gandalf to Sauron. The room went quiet as Gandalf spoke. \u201cYou\u2019ve fallen far, \u2018Lord\u2019 Sauron. Serving another, now, are you?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI serve no one, Gandalf Stormcrow!\u201d snarled Sauron. \u201cAll serve me!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIdea for new name when I get tired of Wyldstyle: Stormcrow!\u201d mused Wyldstyle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHold on,\u201d stopped Kamen Rider Talon, Igura, \u201cI thought you said that, and I quote, \u2018Lord Vortech wanted to give me this dimension if I retrieved the Keystone.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI lied!\u201d explained Sauron. \u201cSpiders! Nazg\u00fbl! Daleks! Orcs! Slay them!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDaleks?!\u201d I yelped. The room started shaking. A hologram was canceled to reveal that we were on the hull of a saucer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cA Dalek Command Saucer!\u201d called Michael.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNot those trashcans again!\u201d I moaned. The saucer then rose with Sauron\u2019s throne in the center, shrouded in a dark cloud. That\u2019s when the Nine landed. That\u2019s right, the Nine Former Kings of Men, together again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWow,\u201d whispered the Witch-King, \u201cI can\u2019t believe they fell for that!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe didn\u2019t have enough time to rehearse!\u201d whispered East. \u201cGood work, Kh\u00f2rena!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThanks!\u201d whispered Dwimmerlaik.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWait, that whole break-up was\u2026?\u201d I began.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAn act!\u201d whispered the Witch-King of Angmar. \u201cAnd you were stupid enough to fall for it!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSo was me being your hostage!\u201d called Tarantulas\u2019 voice. He came down in robot mode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe wounds Touch\u00e9 gave me, on the other pedipalp!\u201d Shelob in her new robot mode jumped down with other spiders. \u201cThose were real! I won\u2019t waste time playing with you lot!\u201d That\u2019s when hatches in the Dalek ship opened up to let Daleks and Orcs come out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou\u2019re hopelessly outmatched!\u201d roared an Orc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou will be exterminated!\u201d Guess who said that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThat\u2019s it, enough of these lies!\u201d I snapped. We grabbed our i.d tags and Hongo struck his Henshin pose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cRider\u2026\u201d he began.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHenshin!\u201d we all announced. We formed our suits and drew our weapons. As usual, Outback started us off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cKamen Rider Outback! Better watch your backs, mates!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cKamen Rider Claw! My weapons shall turn you into ribbons!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cKamen Rider Swing! I\u2019ll be taking your legs!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cKamen Rider Hunt! I shall always get my prey!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cKamen Rider Clash! A duel with me shall end in your defeat!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cKamen Rider Climb! Mountains are a warrior\u2019s best friend!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cKamen Rider Gallop! My riding skills are unmatched!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cKamen Rider Sengoku! You shall get a taste of Feudal Japan!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cKamen Rider Royal! Evil will ultimately bow to me!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cKamen Rider Guard! None shall harm my friends, family, and lady!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cKamen Rider Touch\u00e9! En Garde, thing of evil!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cKamen Rider Zh\u00e0nsh\u00ec! Try and stop my quest!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cKamen Rider Arch! My skills outdo Robin Hood!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cKamen Rider K\u00e4mpfer! Your defeat will be certain at my hands!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cKamen Rider Seeker! It\u2019s not gold I seek, but your end!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cKamen Rider Battle! For friends and family, I shall be victorious!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI am Gandalf the Grey! Prepare to see some fireworks!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2019m Wyldstyle! Time to think outside the box!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2019m Batman! The Dark Knight rises!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI am the start of a group of warriors! I am Kamen Rider!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSLAY THEM ALL!\u201d ordered Sauron from inside the shroud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2019ll have your head for this!\u201d screeched Talon. We all fought the forces of darkness, eight legged or not. A Dalek fired on us, but we got out of the way and it killed a spider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWATCH YOUR AIM!\u201d roared Shelob.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026Oops,\u201d mumbled the offending Dalek. Shelob then readied her beast mode\u2019s legs as if they were guns, which, we had quickly discovered, they were. She fired upon us, wildly though. She hit more of her allies than us. In fact, none of us were hit. Gandalf had opened a hatch in the ship and extracted parts. Wyldstyle constructed a lamp from the parts and shined it on the shroud surrounding Sauron. He snarled, but the shroud stayed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe need more!\u201d called Touch\u00e9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cLet me handle him!\u201d demanded Talon. She opened a hatch to allow a Dalek to get out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNon-Dalek life forms detected!\u201d it squawked. \u201cExterminate!\u201d Talon then pulled her hand back in a claw fashion and then thrust it forward into the Dalek. Bits of its now dead occupant dripped off the hand. She flicked it off and got more parts, building the second lamp herself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cInteresting what a scientist can make,\u201d she mused, \u201ceven if it\u2019s rudimentary.\u201d The lamp shined on Sauron\u2019s shroud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cVortech won\u2019t like you attacking an ally!\u201d called Sauron.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou invaded a dimension without his permission,\u201d countered Talon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIs he really going to believe that?\u201d asked Sauron. \u201cI can say, with certainty, that you will be blamed for attacking an ally. It is\u2026what\u2019s the phrase\u2026your flimsy word over mine!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou\u2019re right,\u201d agreed Talon. \u201cWithout evidence, my word is flimsy. Good thing I have evidence.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDo share it,\u201d invited Sauron.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIncoming transmission from Foundation Prime!\u201d reported a Dalek. Wyldstyle had managed to make a third lamp. I told her to wait.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cGo ahead and take it,\u201d suggested Talon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cPut it through,\u201d commanded Sauron.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI obey!\u201d confirmed the Dalek. It connected to a terminal to let a hologram of Vortech and Hiro through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cGreetings, Master,\u201d began Sauron to Vortech.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSpare me the false praise!\u201d snarled Vortech.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWho\u2019s that?\u201d asked Batman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe enemy,\u201d I replied, keeping it vague on purpose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEr\u2026Master?\u201d asked Sauron.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTell me, Sauron,\u201d hissed Hiro, \u201chave you heard of a live-stream?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026A flow of water that is alive?\u201d guessed Sauron.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNot even close,\u201d corrected Vortech. \u201cA live stream is a term when humans display their moving pictures and speech at the time they are at an event. They make it public and put it out on billions of computers through a process called \u2018streaming\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAnd it is in real time, live on the scene,\u201d continued Hiro. \u201cThus, live-stream.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI fail to see how\u2026\u201d began Sauron.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOn top of that, have you heard about eyes that work like a video camera?\u201d asked Hiro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cLike a what?\u201d spluttered Sauron.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThey\u2019re machines that take pictures, capture voices, and string them together to make an exact replica of something that happened,\u201d explained Hiro. \u201cSome cameras are made to look like a person\u2019s eyes and can capture what the person sees if these cameras replace the eyes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI still don\u2019t see\u2026\u201d Sauron stopped when he saw the battle from another person\u2019s point of view in real time. He saw the left side of his head and realized why live-streams and video camera eyes were brought up. He turned to Talon and made the connection. She waved. \u201cYOU DIDN\u2019T\u2026! YOU\u2026!\u201d spluttered Sauron. \u201cHOW LONG?! HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN\u2026LIVE-STREAMING?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou catch on to the terminology quick,\u201d praised Talon as her eyes recorded the reaction. \u201cIn any case, to answer your question, since Barad-d\u00fbr landed here. I\u2019ve recorded everything, even Tarantulas dissecting one of the spiders here and eating its remains later.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhat?!\u201d snarled Shelob. Tarantulas spluttered. The spiders stared at their metal companion with malice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve been deceived!\u201d shrieked a spider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2019m gonna mount your head on my mantelpiece, traitor!\u201d promised another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cKILL HIM!\u201d roared Shelob. They ran at Tarantulas, who tried to escape. Soon he tripped over the edge with all the spiders following him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThat takes care of them,\u201d muttered Talon. She turned to Sauron. \u201cAnd now, for you!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve been spied on!\u201d roared an Orc, slow on the uptake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2019m gonna enjoy having my way with you!\u201d shouted another, Shagrat. \u201cI need offspring!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNo! I need a cook!\u201d bellowed another. Gorbag came up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cShe\u2019s Sauron\u2019s to do with as he wishes!\u201d he snapped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI don\u2019t take orders from stinking Morgul rats!\u201d roared Shagrat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cGet him!\u201d shouted the second Orc. They started fighting each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNO! IDIOTS!\u201d shrieked the Witch-King as he flung Touch\u00e9 off of him. \u201cGET THEM! THEY\u2019RE THE ENEMY!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNOW!\u201d I called. The third lamp shone on the shroud. Sauron screamed in pain as the light from the lamps burned his eyes. The ship then broke out of Barad-d\u00fbr.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cCareful!\u201d demanded Gorbag. \u201cI just paid off the insurance!\u201d The ship stopped in front of the fiery eye that was reset atop the fortress. The lamps were destroyed as the shroud returned around Sauron.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhen in doubt,\u201d muttered the Dark Lord, \u201cKeystone power.\u201d He grabbed the Keystone from the throne. \u201cI see you!\u201d he said. \u201cLocate help from D-C-C-0-M-1-C-5!\u201d A portal opened and deposited a searchlight onto the ship. \u201cBlind them!\u201d shouted Sauron to his forces. Batman saw that the symbol on it was one that he was familiar with!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe Bat-Signal?\u201d he snarled. \u201cSomeone stole my Bat-Signal?! Someone like you, Sauron?!! Now that\u2019s going too far!!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2019ve got an idea!\u201d called Wyldstyle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cKeep her covered!\u201d I directed. Her Master build involved the Bat-Signal and a battery to power it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI said get the light and blind them!\u201d ordered Sauron. The Orcs and Daleks were trying but failing as Batman shone it onto the shroud. It dissipated, leaving Sauron open. He grabbed his mace and went on the offensive. We managed to beat him back to his throne, which was surprising, considering he has the One Ring. He remade the shroud and unleashed magic chains. \u201cYour struggle is meaningless!\u201d he snarled. A news chopper for the Daily Planet got close as the photographer flashed his camera. Sauron snarled as he lost concentration on the chains, making them disappear. \u201cYou\u2019ll PAY for this outrage! Locate help from M-1-D-D-L-3-3-A-R-T-H!\u201d A horse drawn cart with fireworks came out of a new portal, minus the horse. He flung rubble at the news chopper, scaring it off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThat\u2019s my old cart!\u201d yelped Gandalf. \u201cWhere in Middle-Earth did they find that?!\u201d He got an idea. \u201cYou know, I believe that my new catchphrase would be appropriate for this instance. Sauron, prepare to see some fireworks!\u201d He used his magic to launch the fireworks at the shroud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c4th of July fireworks can\u2019t top that!\u201d called Sengoku.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSpeak for yourself!\u201d replied Guard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSave our American ego for later!\u201d snapped Touch\u00e9. \u201cBesides, our fireworks can\u2019t make a dragon fly over the crowd and then make a fantastic boom!\u201d Sauron\u2019s shroud was gone again. He went on the attack again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cRIDER CHOP!\u201d called Ichig\u014d as he delivered a chop that made Sauron stagger backwards. I then decided to take a page out of Touch\u00e9\u2019s book and inserted my i.d tag into the hilt of my sword. The blade was surrounded in blue light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cFinal Attack!\u201d announced my blade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cRIDER ROYAL SLASH!\u201d I called. I swung down, making an arc of light rush towards Sauron, knocking him into his seat. He returned the shroud and chained us again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI shall rule all!\u201d he proclaimed. An Orc had flung a Dalek at us, who regained itself in the air and charged towards Sauron, screaming bloody murder. It was destroyed, and the other Daleks saw this as betrayal and turned on the Orcs. The noise made Sauron lose concentration again and so he used the Keystone again. \u201cLocate help from T-H-3-L-3-G-0-M-0-V-1-3!\u201d he ordered. A school bus came in, although, it was modified with jet engines on the back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThat\u2019s from my dimension!\u201d called Wyldstyle. \u201cA bus driver had graduated from the Master Builder\u2019s Academy and used his bus for his final! I was his teacher!\u201d The bus driver came out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cProfessor Wyldstyle?\u201d he asked. \u201cWhat\u2019s going on?!\u201d Sauron screeched in anger. \u201cNever mind, I can see for myself.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOnly a powerful light can get rid of that shroud!\u201d I told the driver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cLeave it to me!\u201d he assured. He dodged the stuff Sauron threw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhoa!\u201d yelped Wyldstyle. \u201cOkay, wish this guy would stop throwing stuff!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHow\u2019s this?!\u201d asked the bus driver. He made a light cannon out of the front of the bus. \u201cI just need power to make it bright!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAllow me!\u201d called Gandalf as he used his magic to extract wires that ran into the Dalek ship. They were soon connected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThanks!\u201d praised the bus driver. He then pointed the light cannon at the shroud and unleashed a bright light, destroying the Shroud. Sauron got mad and leapt at us. We got out of the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cRIDER KICK!\u201d called Ichig\u014d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cRIDER ROYAL KICK!\u201d I declared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cRIDER TOUCH\u00c9 KICK!\u201d announced Touch\u00e9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNOVA KICK!\u201d shouted Talon. Sauron was knocked to the ground at the impact of our kicks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHow\u2026\u201d wheezed the Dark Lord as he picked himself up, \u201cis this possible?!\u201d The eye on top of Barad-d\u00fbr vanished.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis is not your domain!\u201d explained Gandalf. \u201cYou have no power here, Sauron the Deceiver!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAnd to make sure you obey us in future,\u201d said Talon. She then brought Sauron to his knees and held her foil at his neck. \u201cForces of Mordor, you will obey us or Sauron is crushed like a tin can!\u201d Sauron\u2019s forces considered, then kneeled. \u201cI thought so.\u201d A portal opened. \u201cWitch-King, grab the Keystone!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNo!\u201d called Wyldstyle. She knocked out the Witch-King and grabbed the Keystone, nearly getting sucked into the portal. \u201cCan someone give me a hand?!\u201d asked Wyldstyle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cStop her!\u201d ordered Talon. I kicked her aside as the rest of us fought off the Orcs and Nazg\u00fbl. Sauron was crushed like a tin can, but still alive, thanks to the Ring. He was sucked in. A giant hand then reached through the portal to grab the Keystone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOh, yeah, not him, though!\u201d yelped Wyldstyle. She lost her grip on the throne but was saved by Gandalf. She landed back on the hull. \u201cThanks!\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMust I do everything myself?!\u201d snarled Talon. She charged at Wyldstyle as our ride home came up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIs that ours?\u201d asked the bus driver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYes!\u201d answered Batman. \u201cMove!\u201d We made a break for the portal, taking the Keystone with us. It turned out to be an enemy portal as Vortech\u2019s hand came through. We nearly went over the edge of the saucer before the Keystone opened a portal for us below the saucer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis way!\u201d called Wyldstyle. We jumped in. Before Talon could grab us, the portal closed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
