\u201cThankfully,\u201d the Doctor said as Michael finished, \u201cwe put Irina in the Zero Room, where one floats in air to fix themselves or stabilizes one\u2019s condition. That Dalek Gaia Memory wasn\u2019t anywhere near as powerful as a Dalek\u2019s gun.\u201d I ran my hands over my face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOkay, I have good news and bad news,\u201d reported Emily as she finished. \u201cGood news, Irina\u2019s alive and is demonstrating brainwave activity. Bad news, brainwave activity isn\u2019t evidence of consciousness. Rather, it\u2019s an endless dream from which she may never wake.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhat can we do?\u201d I asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe only thing we can do is keep calling to her,\u201d replied the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe only logical choice for starting the process, given Irina\u2019s relationship with him,\u201d I mused, \u201cis Mikhail. Mikhail, could you\u2026Mikhail? Mikhail, where are you?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHey, where\u2019d Michael go?!\u201d asked Ankh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDon\u2019t forget Richard, he\u2019s gone too,\u201d observed Batman. A thought struck me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou don\u2019t think\u2026?\u201d I quizzed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt\u2019s possible,\u201d theorized Batman<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHey, guys,\u201d called X-PO, \u201cI\u2019m hearing some chatter from Michael, Mikhail, Richard, Rusty, Elphaba, Wyldstyle, and Eiji in the gateway room. The phrase \u2018Make Davros hurt\u2019 was thrown around. Any reason leap to mind?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThose idiots!\u201d I hissed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I stood at the gateway. My sister, Irina, was in a coma. Anger was directing my actions, anger that I feel is justified. \u201cYou seek revenge!\u201d said a harsh, grating, metallic tone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDa,\u201d (yes) I replied. Rusty glided to my side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOn just Davros?\u201d asked the Dalek. I turned to face him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou\u2019re not stopping me?\u201d I asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI wish to help you!\u201d replied Rusty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAh, anything to make the Daleks hurt,\u201d I guessed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhy just the Daleks?\u201d asked an American voice. I turned to see Michael and Richard coming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNot this time, you two,\u201d I directed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYour sister was hurt under my recent command,\u201d argued Michael. \u201cHonor must be satisfied.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAnd you helped me when Emily was beaten black and blue by one of her bullies that wanted her to commit suicide,\u201d continued Richard. \u201cI would be ashamed if I didn\u2019t help.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhat\u2019s this I hear about getting revenge?\u201d asked a woman. Elphaba came in. She had regained her ability to fly on a broomstick. \u201cTrying to make this Davros character pay? Wasn\u2019t he acting under orders?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt\u2019s within Vortech\u2019s sick mind to make us hurt,\u201d hissed another voice. Wyldstyle came up with Eiji.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou all wish to assist?\u201d I asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou need an attacker from the sky,\u201d replied Elphaba.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMy Master Build abilities are handy,\u201d offered Wyldstyle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAnd I\u2019ve got a Combo that can take care of any cheaters,\u201d replied Eiji.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThen what are we waiting for?\u201d I asked. \u201cSet dimensional coordinates for Skaro!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNo!\u201d barked Rusty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNo?!\u201d I roared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBlindly rushing into Dalek territory,\u201d explained Rusty, \u201cis self-extermination! We must draw Davros out!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAnd to do so,\u201d supplied Elphaba, \u201cwe need to make Vortech hurt. To do that, we need to hit where it hurts most, his wallet!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cGo on,\u201d I invited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cVortech has set up Nonexistium mines in Rusty\u2019s native universe,\u201d answered Elphaba. \u201cWe strike at a big one and tell Vortech to send Davros our way at the next one.\u201d I mulled it over. On the one hand, I wanted to make Davros pay quickly, but, on the other hand, blindly rushing at the Daleks will ensure my death. The cons of rushing at the Daleks outweighed the pros.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cLike I said, set dimensional coordinates for a big mining operation in Davros\u2019 universe,\u201d I said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI obey!\u201d replied Rusty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHow is this POSSIBLE!!!\u201d roared Vortech. \u201cFour missions, all in D-0-C-T-0-R-W-H-0, and only Igura succeeded in hers when she got the Foundation Element! You, Rani, nearly affected my plans with that dimensional manipulator nonsense! The universes you would have made would have faded in 2 hours anyway. Believe me, I tried that before getting the Foundation Elements. You, Yeti, perhaps it was a mistake to sever you from the Great Intelligence if the Gaia Memory is too complex for your processors!\u201d Vortech turned to me. \u201cSo? I didn\u2019t hear your excuse, Davros!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBecause I have none,\u201d I replied. \u201cWe failed to destroy the Doctor, nothing more.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThen why do you smile?!\u201d snarled Vortech.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI have news that may\u2026interest you,\u201d I answered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSpeak quickly,\u201d hissed Vortech.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI took the liberty of testing the Maximum Drive of the Dalek Gaia Memory the Rani had so graciously created,\u201d I explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou don\u2019t have a Maximum Drive slot,\u201d observed Vortech.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou don\u2019t need a belt to initiate a Maximum Drive,\u201d I answered. \u201cI fashioned a weapon from a Dalek gun to allow it to use a Gaia Memory and decided my escape was a perfect test.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou\u2026used the Dalek Maximum Drive?\u201d guessed Vortech. I turned to one of the prisoners, a Mr. Sergei Kuznetsov.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDo you know the true name of Kamen Rider Climb?\u201d I asked him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMy daughter, Irina,\u201d answered the man. A thought struck him. \u201cNo. You didn\u2019t!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI call the Dalek Gaia Memory\u2019s Maximum Drive Dalek Extermination!\u201d I laughed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou are bluffing!!\u201d protested Sergei.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI never bluff when one has died at my hand,\u201d I answered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThen perhaps this day is not totally lost,\u201d mused Vortech.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIf we can be so sure,\u201d growled Sauron as he stomped into view. \u201cIt HAS been a while since any of us have killed one of the Vortex Riders.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBecause it has been a while since a DALEK was provided the opportunity to do so,\u201d I reminded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cReally now?\u201d snarled Sauron. \u201cBecause the mutants under my command during my time in the DC Comics world were utterly useless!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou dare call the Daleks mutants!\u201d barked one of my children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMy creations have enslaved entire worlds, Sauron,\u201d I recalled, \u201cwhile you sent your pathetic Orc forces after a simple ring!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou must be lying!\u201d denied Sergei. \u201cThere\u2019s no proof Irina is dead!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIf it\u2019s proof you want,\u201d I chucked, \u201cI am all too happy to provide.\u201d I let a holographic projector do its work. Horror had spread across his features. \u201cWord of advice, a scientist is always willing to give proof!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTHAT\u2019S MY DAUGHTER!\u201d roared Sergei. \u201cDAVROS, I WILL KILL YOU!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou are welcome to try!\u201d I countered as I charged my hand with electricity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEnough!\u201d shouted Vortech as he threw up a barrier between us. \u201cDavros, are you certain that Kamen Rider Climb was exterminated?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWith this very Gaia Memory, Lord Vortech,\u201d I replied as I pressed the button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDALEK!\u201d it announced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIs everyone ready?\u201d I asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cFor Irina!\u201d cheered Michael.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cFor the Multiverse!\u201d called Wyldstyle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cFor making Davros pay!\u201d shrieked Rusty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cFor paying off old debts,\u201d declared Richard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cFor a new chance at life!\u201d called Elphaba.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cFor my friends!\u201d cheered Eiji.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cFor honor!\u201d I called. \u201cPOYEKHALI!\u201d (Go!). We charged into the portal and fell through the vortex.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou Riders might want to change before we arrive at the mine,\u201d suggested Wyldstyle<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cGood thinking,\u201d I replied. Eiji put in his Medals and the rest of us drew our i.d tags. Eiji told us how his transformation abilities work, so I knew what was going on when he scanned his Medals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHENSHIN!\u201d we announced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTAKA! TORA! BATTA! Tatoba! Tatoba, TATOBA!\u201d sang Eiji\u2019s OOO Driver. The rift opened to let us into a mine. The coordinates were set to the Cybermen\u2019s home world of Mondas. What we saw was a sight I never thought was possible, but, given that Vortech has a hand in this, he may need the cooperation between the Daleks and Cybermen. Both species were working together to mine for Nonexistium. The mines were large enough but had special machinery that regenerated the metal once it was exhausted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cQuite a bit of Daleks and Cybermen,\u201d muttered Battle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHow do we deal with them?\u201d I asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSet off minor explosions in random areas,\u201d suggested Battle. \u201cGet all enemy forces to investigate. Clear out any enemies near a communications console. Contact Foundation Prime to draw out Davros. After stating our demands, blow the place sky high and move on to the mines on Skaro.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cKhorosho,\u201d (Good) I declared. \u201cFind explosives and spread out.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a pity she was wearing her mask,\u201d I said to my children as we went down the hall in Vortech\u2019s fortress. \u201cBut, I can only imagine the terror she felt as she fell to the technology you, my children, have made. Lord Vortech now understands that the difficult tasks are best assigned to the Daleks.\u201d We passed by a couple of Tarlaxians, Discornia and a creature made of purplish putty with red eyes and a vaguely humanoid form called Sludgiona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHell spawn,\u201d muttered Ms. Sludgiona in a burbling voice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cImpure mutants!\u201d snarled Discornia. Now, Hell spawn, I can let slide, but calling my Daleks impure mutants\u2026! We turned to face them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhat did you say?!\u201d I growled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I must say, the Rani is the worst lab partner ever. We were fixing up the Yeti Vortech had acquired and she was griping all the time. \u201cFixing things up was so much easier when Urak was around!\u201d she moaned<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSpare me!\u201d I hissed as I adjusted the jaw. It was then I heard Dalek gunfire. The Rani and Yeti heard it too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhat is going on out there?!\u201d demanded the Yeti. It got up and stepped out of the room. \u201cHow are these ladies supposed to\u2026!\u201d It didn\u2019t get far as a Dalek blast shot his jaw. It goggled at the broken implement. \u201cI JUST HAD THAT FIXED!\u201d it roared, pulling out its Gaia Memory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYETI!\u201d announced the Memory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We had set up the explosives in the mine and acquired hiding places so the enemy wouldn\u2019t see us. Battle told us to wait until the Daleks and Cybermen had concentrated their forces at the explosive sites. Thank goodness Wyldstyle can Master Build explosives. \u201cNot yet,\u201d motioned Battle. \u201cWait. \u2026NOW!\u201d We pressed the detonator that Wyldstyle built and the explosives went off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cALERT! ALERT! EXPLOSIVES DETECTED IN MINE!\u201d screamed a Dalek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMoving to delete hostile elements!\u201d reported a Cyber-Leader.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSeek! Locate! Exterminate! Annihilate! Destroy!\u201d ordered a Black Dalek. The enemy started investigating while a single Dalek and Cyberman guarded the communications terminal. These two were\u2026different from the rest of their species. The Cyberman looked like he was in a silver bodysuit that simulated piping woven into it, had a chest piece with exposed wiring, a helmet with larger handle supports around the ears, a see-through mouth plate, and totally circular eye holes instead of the tear-drop design. The Dalek was gunmetal grey with black sensor globes, possessed tiny dome lights instead of the large ones I was used to, and a white light in the eyestalk with a black dot in the center, making the eye look like it had a pupil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThose are a Dalek and Cyberman from the 80\u2019s!\u201d whispered Battle. \u201cWhat are they doing still in operation?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSshh!\u201d I hissed. \u201cThey\u2019re about to speak. I want to hear them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cCyber-unit L-4-R-R-Y,\u201d droned the Dalek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYes, Dalek T-1-N-4?\u201d asked the Cyberman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cCyber-unit Larry?\u201d asked Guard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDalek Tina?!\u201d snickered Battle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSSSHHH!!\u201d I hissed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDo you wonder why we\u2019re here?\u201d asked Dalek Tina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI suppose that is one of the universe\u2019s greatest mysteries,\u201d mused Cyber-unit Larry. \u201cWhy are any of us here? Are we some cosmic coincidence or is there really a god with a plan for us? That kind of thinking keeps me from fully recharging.\u201d There was a brief silence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNo,\u201d elaborated Tina. \u201cI meant, why are we here guarding a communications terminal instead of investigating the explosions?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOh,\u201d replied Larry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhat was that stuff about God?\u201d asked Tina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNothing,\u201d answered Larry. I motioned for us to move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIf you wish to find out about God\u2019s existence,\u201d I announced as I drew my blade, \u201cI am all too happy to help in that regard. If you wish to live, move aside. I\u2019ve come for Davros. Stand down and be spared.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cALERT!! ALERT!! INTRUDERS IN THE COMMUNICATIONS CAVERN!!\u201d screamed Tina. She didn\u2019t get very far as I ran her through with my sword. Larry then grabbed a silver tube with a red cylinder on it and trained it on us. Battle then opened a small bag and threw the contents onto Larry\u2019s chest. It was gold dust and the instant it landed on him, Larry started sparking and giving off a death rattle. He fell, dead. I ran my fingers over the dust and examined it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cA Cyberman killed by glitter? That\u2019s ridiculous!\u201d I declared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNot when it\u2019s an early model Cyberman,\u201d elaborated Battle. \u201cThe glitter\u2019s made of actual gold.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou mean to tell me you turned gold into glitter in case you meet this kind of Cyberman?\u201d I asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cExactly,\u201d replied Battle. \u201cCoat the chest unit of these early model Cybermen in gold and you suffocate them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI see,\u201d I muttered. I then returned my focus to the mission. \u201cWyldstyle, take Guard with you and build a bomb big enough to level this place. OOO, Rusty, keep watch for the enemy. Elphaba, clear an escape route for us. Battle, help me open a line to Foundation Prime.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cJust look what they\u2019ve done!\u201d snarled Igura as she stormed up to me in her Kamen Rider Talon persona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSpare me the dramatics,\u201d I dismissed. \u201cThe Yeti\u2019s jaw can be fixed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis isn\u2019t about the Yeti or me, Lord Vortech!\u201d protested Talon. \u201cThe Daleks are creating dissension among the ranks! These savages are a threat to our plans! They should be confined! RESTRAINED EVEN!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI said that about you when your group came here,\u201d muttered Ambassador Hell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBesides, you could not produce restraints strong enough to hold a Dalek!\u201d boasted Davros.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cLoooord Vortech,\u201d droned a Cyberman. This one was in a zip-up bodysuit, had a large front unit with wires and piping everywhere on the body, a cloth mask with eyeholes and a lantern on top of the head where the handles connect. As it spoke in a stilted monotone with some words drawn out and the others run through rapidly, the mouth opened but made no movements to form the syllables, \u201cweee have recieeeved an eeemergency transmission frooom theeee Nonexistium mines ooooon Mooondas.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhat seems to be the trouble?\u201d I asked as I gave a glance to a broken Sergei.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cUuunnknown, Lord Vortech,\u201d reported the Cyberman. \u201cTheee caller will speeeak only tooo you.\u201d I accepted the call.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cT-1-N-4, L-4-R-R-Y, what is it?\u201d I asked, assuming that it was the Dalek or Cyberman at their post. The voice with the Russian accent surprised me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNice operation you have here,\u201d snarled the caller. \u201cSadly, it is under new management.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMikhail?\u201d asked Sergei, sadly, knowing that Irina\u2019s death affected his son as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cKamen Rider Gallop,\u201d I guessed. \u201cThe Rider that fancies himself a Cossack.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI have a bit of Cossack training,\u201d answered Gallop. \u201cMy horseback skills are unmatched. However, like Irina, I fancy myself a swashbuckling pirate. Speaking of pirates, with the help of my team, of course, I just robbed you of one of your big, juicy mining operations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe loss of ONE asset is hardly a blow to my cause,\u201d I dismissed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cPerhaps,\u201d threatened Gallop. \u201cBut, I shall keep attacking them one by one until you give me what I want!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAnd WHAT, pray, is that?\u201d I asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe demon that put my twin sister in a coma!\u201d declared Gallop. Wait, what?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cComa?\u201d I repeated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMikhail, are you saying Irina lives?!\u201d asked Sergei excitedly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDa, Papa,\u201d replied Gallop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou are a liar!\u201d hissed Davros.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDavros,\u201d called another voice. \u201cNot so nice to hear you again.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cKamen Rider Battle, you saw Climb fall!\u201d snapped Davros, correctly identifying the voice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe got her into the TARDIS and discovered that the Maximum Drive of your Dalek Gaia Memory gave off a low yield blast,\u201d explained Battle. \u201cThanks to the Doctor\u2019s efforts and to the efforts of our medic, Irina\u2019s alive.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cKHOROSHO!\u201d shouted Sergei, his pain of having to bury his daughter now gone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSo,\u201d continued Gallop, \u201chere is the deal. We\u2019re going to hit the Nonexistium mine on Skaro. If you would care to meet us there, Davros, perhaps you can save Vortech from another loss. Oh, and Vortech, just in case you ever wondered what an exploding mine of Nonexistium sounds like\u2026\u201d He left the channel open as he pressed the button on a detonator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEscape ship primed and ready!\u201d reported Rusty as he flew it to us. I snatched up some studs, 245,000 in total, and put them in a bag. Might as well make some profit. We jumped aboard as the bomb started shaking. We sped through the caverns before the bomb blew up. The explosion started catching up to us. We escaped\u2026what\u2019s the expression\u2026by the skin of our teeth. The entrance collapsed as Rusty flew us to Skaro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To say that Vortech was livid would be an understatement. As the transmission ended in static. Vortech strode angrily towards Davros. I smirked under my helmet. \u201cKeep away!\u201d yelped Davros.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou\u2019re hardly in a position to order anyone around,\u201d hissed Vortech. He swatted Davros\u2019 hand aside and pressed a button. The chair started beeping and lights turned off. Davros was trembling violently until he pressed the button again. He started getting his breath back. \u201cYou allowed Kamen Rider Climb TO LIVE!!\u201d roared Vortech.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDaleks,\u201d chuckled Sergei with a fat grin on his fat face. \u201cNot, er, up to snuff, I believe is the expression. Isn\u2019t that right, Talon?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou, shut up,\u201d I ordered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cLord Vortech,\u201d begged Davros, \u201cI swear upon the Daleks, Irina could not have survived her wounds!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWell, the evidence says otherwise!!\u201d roared Vortech. \u201cIt appears I am owed a Vortex Rider\u2019s life. And if it\u2019s not Irina\u2019s, it had better be Mikhail\u2019s!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cApproaching Skaro!\u201d reported Rusty. Battle was not exaggerating when he said Skaro was one of the worst planets to look at. It was blood red, had three moons, sickeningly green clouds, and two major continents divided by a mountain range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe\u2019re being hailed,\u201d called Battle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTell the Daleks that we\u2019ve come for Davros,\u201d I rumbled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cFunny,\u201d continued Battle, \u201cit IS Davros on the other end. He said that he\u2019s ordered an escort to bring us to the mine near the Petrified Jungle.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cA hasty trap that we shall spring,\u201d I declared. \u201cTell him we\u2019ll follow the escort on the path they chose.\u201d Michael did as he was told and we followed the Dalek Escort to a stone-like jungle. Nearby was a tall city. The mines were about a mile to the city\u2019s south. We landed near the entrance to see Davros and a horde of Daleks surrounding us. Michael described him perfectly on Vorton. \u201cI see you were busy after Michael came here last,\u201d I observed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhereas YOU have been stupid enough to seek revenge!\u201d ranted Davros.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cPrerogative of a brother when his sibling is harmed,\u201d I replied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSpeaking of visits,\u201d recalled Battle, \u201cI would have figured, after your sewers attacked, you would have drowned in the corpses of your children.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNot when there is an escape pod to be had,\u201d answered Davros.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAnd a nearby Dalek ship to collect you, I surmise,\u201d guessed Battle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAh!\u201d exclaimed Davros. \u201cThere, I was fortunate.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOh, for a moment, I guess,\u201d I mused. \u201cI\u2019m thinking that Vortech didn\u2019t like hearing about my sister\u2019s survival.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cFor the time being,\u201d countered Davros. \u201cComas can go both ways.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTrue,\u201d I conceded. \u201cBut, I can\u2019t help but feel there\u2019s an unanswered question. Why are you working for a thief like Vortech?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou cannot steal what is simply a random object to most people,\u201d answered Davros. \u201cNo one, aside from Vortech, is interested in the Foundation Elements!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNot what I have heard,\u201d I declared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAs Vortech\u2019s people, the Vortonians, have been exterminated,\u201d ranted Davros, \u201cand your friends are now fractured, you will not hear that claim again!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDo you never do anything but smash and kill?!\u201d protested Wyldstyle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThere, you are mistaken, Madam Wyldstyle,\u201d argued Davros. \u201cThe Daleks have taken to calling me by my title on Necros.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe Great Healer?\u201d asked Battle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cA somewhat flippant title, I confess, but not without substance!\u201d boasted Davros. \u201cI have turned these Daleks into a raw war machine, healed them from the disease of defeat!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhile working for Lord Vortech, I notice,\u201d I observed. \u201cDid the Daleks expect you to join him?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe Daleks understood that power over reality itself was ripe for the taking!\u201d declared Davros.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWith you as their leader?\u201d I asked. \u201cYou\u2019re more man than Dalek.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSo, what of the Dalek sewers?\u201d asked Battle. \u201cOr will they still rot down there?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou should know me better than that, Battle,\u201d hissed Davros. \u201cI never waste valuable resources.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHow can the dead be valuable?\u201d I asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBecause the dead make excellent concentrated protein!\u201d replied a Dalek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMy children are developing their galaxy quickly,\u201d continued Davros. \u201cNutrient loss WAS one of the empire\u2019s major problems.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou\u2019ve turned the inhabitants of your sewers into food?\u201d I said, repulsed at the idea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAnd it has placed me above even the Emperor Dalek!\u201d raved Davros.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAnd you lot are okay with resorting to cannibalism?!\u201d I called to the Daleks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe dead are only useful in prolonging the living!\u201d replied a Dalek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2019ve heard enough!\u201d I declared as I drew my blade. The others got ready to fight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIf you would permit me,\u201d interjected Davros, \u201cI\u2019d like to show you a new ability I have.\u201d He pulled out the Dalek Gaia Memory Battle had described on Vorton. \u201cAre you familiar with Dopants?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSorry?\u201d I asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhen an organic creature is implanted with a connection for a Gaia Memory,\u201d explained Davros, \u201cIt gives them power and a form based on the Gaia Memory. The resulting creature is called a Dopant. The only thing that can cause a Dopant to revert to its host\u2019s original state would be a Maximum Drive, where all the power is focused in one attack.\u201d He then pressed the Memory button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDALEK!\u201d it announced. Davros then put it into his chair. Light flowed around him as data symbols came over him. His shape soon changed. His chair turned into legs with the lower legs looking like a Dalek\u2019s skirt. He gained a new left arm where the forearm looked like the gunstick, with a gun barrel hidden in the palm, and the right arm had a plunger hidden in the palm. The head looked more like the Dalek dome with the eye embedded in it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou now bear witness to the Dalek Dopant!\u201d cheered Davros\u2019 new form. We got ready to fight. OOO extended his claws and rushed at Davros. Davros sidestepped and punched OOO on the spine. Wyldstyle built a cannon out of some Daleks and fired, but Davros shrugged it off. I changed into Wyldstyle Steel and built off the cannon, making it bigger. The two of us fired, but Davros leapt over it and attacked. Wyldstyle broke the cannon and rebuilt it into a combat suit for Rusty. Rusty plugged in and went on the offensive. Davros used the plunger in his hand and lifted him up into the air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cALERT!! ALERT!!\u201d he squawked. \u201cSUIT MALFUNCTION!!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cGet out of there!\u201d I yelled. Rusty shot his way out as Davros tore the battle suit in half. Battle and Guard did a double team attack and swiped at Davros repeatedly. Davros started laughing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThat tickles!\u201d he jeered. Davros then threw them into me, knocking the wind out of us. He then started laughing. \u201cI see that your green skinned friend is gone!\u201d he called. I looked up and grinned under my helmet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cA spell to halt the progress ahead!\u201d chanted Elphaba\u2019s voice. Davros started looking around. \u201cTo freeze, to bind my foe in red!\u201d Red chains from the air wrapped around Davros. He was yanked into the air and was taken for a ride by Elphaba! She had regained her cackle as she flew, writing \u201cSurrender, Daleks,\u201d in the sky. Davros then managed to plant his feet on the ground. Elphaba stopped and tugged on the chains. Blue light then appeared beneath Davros\u2019 feet as he took off, taking Elphaba off her broomstick! This time, he took her for a ride and made a diving maneuver towards the ground. Davros pulled up in time, but Elphaba did not. When she hit the ground, she lost her concentration on the chains, releasing Davros. We were at Davros\u2019 mercy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cLook at you inferior creatures,\u201d he boasted. \u201cLying at my feet with merely seconds of your transformations left.\u201d Why was Davros right? Our transformations cancelled out. \u201cWith my Daleks,\u201d continued Davros, \u201cI shall be utterly unstoppable! The Dalek machines being manufactured automatically\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI know the Doctor said this to you already,\u201d interrupted Michael, \u201cbut it\u2019s not the machines, but the minds. The Daleks are totally evil!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAnd I still do not accept that!\u201d shouted Davros. \u201cThe Daleks are merely programmed to survive! To do that, they must become the dominant species! When all other life forms are suppressed, when the Daleks rule everything, then there is peace. Wars will end. Daleks are not a tool of evil, but of good!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAnd to prove your megalomania,\u201d continued Michael, \u201cyou created a virus that would destroy all life on contact.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou must mean the Reality Bomb,\u201d recalled Davros.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhat?\u201d asked Eiji.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cElectrical energy binds our atoms and their individual parts together,\u201d elaborated Michael. \u201cThe Reality Bomb cancels it out. Soon, all manner of matter falls apart, becoming dust, the dust becoming atoms, and the atoms\u2026nothing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNothing?\u201d I repeated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis was in response to a question the Fourth Doctor posed to this lunatic,\u201d finished Michael. He turned to Davros. \u201cIf you were to create a virus in your laboratory, something contagious and infectious that killed on contact, a virus that would destroy all other forms of life\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou wouldn\u2019t use it, would you?\u201d I asked Davros.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026To hold in my hand, a capsule that contains such power,\u201d began Davros, \u201cto know that life and death on such a scale was my choice… To know that the tiny pressure of my thumb, enough to break the glass, would end everything…Michael was right! The Reality Bomb was my virus! If the Doctor had not interfered, that power would have set me up above the gods! But I shall try again to make a new virus! AND THROUGH THE DALEKS, I SHALL HAVE THAT POWER!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHow is that helpful to the universe?!\u201d wailed Wyldstyle. \u201cThere\u2019s no democracy! You would deny freedom! You would be unfair to everyone that isn\u2019t a Dalek!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDemocracy?\u201d spat Davros, as if the idea were vile. \u201cFreedom? Fairness? Those are the creeds of cowards. The ones who will listen to a thousand viewpoints and try to satisfy them all. Achievement comes through absolute power, and power through strength! You have lost!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAlert! Time capsule detected!\u201d screamed a Dalek. It was then that a familiar noise rang through the air. Soon, Davros, Skaro, the Daleks, and all other things aside from me and my team faded to make way for the TARDIS\u2019 interior. I made a mad dash for the door, but someone held me back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis does not concern you!\u201d I bellowed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWrong!\u201d snarled a voice. The accent was Russian and the tone was feminine. It couldn\u2019t be! I tried again, but the person started gripping my fingers. I turned to see a fully conscious Irina! She released her grip on my fingers. \u201cYou idiots better hope Davros can\u2019t follow us to Vorton,\u201d hissed Irina. \u201cIf he can, I\u2019m holding you responsible, Mikhail.\u201d There was venom in her voice. I didn\u2019t understand why. I couldn\u2019t dwell on it for long as the TARDIS lurched!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThat monster just latched on!\u201d reported the Doctor, not knowing Davros\u2019 new Dopant form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I paced the Gateway room, waiting for that familiar Vworp the TARDIS makes. Emily and a new arrival that Hiroki recommended sat on the platform. They were eating some cake, celebrating a successful procedure that brought Irina out of the coma. He was a young Japanese surgeon that also functioned as a Kamen Rider. From what Hiroki told me, this man, Kagami Hiiro, was a genius surgeon at only 24. He was a bit cold, but it was clear he was trying to get over that. His Rider alias is Kamen Rider Brave. Equipped with the Gamer Driver, he uses a game cartridge, or Gashat, after the Japanese onomatopoeia for inserting a game cartridge into a console, based on a fantasy RPG called Taddle Quest to transform and gain power. Hiroki also said that if there was someone beneath Hiiro’s notice, he would dismiss them by saying their existence was a \u201cNo Thank You\u201d. Given that Emily knew the medical terminology and tools to get Irina out of that coma, such a phrase wasn\u2019t flung her way. \u201cCareful, Meg,\u201d warned Emily, making me twitch, \u201cyou\u2019ll make a trench in the floor.\u201d That was when I heard a Vworp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAh, the Doctor\u2019s returned,\u201d observed Sh\u014dtar\u014d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt sounds like she\u2019s about to\u2026\u201d began Philip. He didn\u2019t complete his sentence as the TARDIS practically bounced in with a monster hanging on the side. It then started beating on the doors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhat in the\u2026?\u201d yelped Hiiro as everyone gawked at the monster. The monster then looked around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSo, this is Vorton, the base of operations for the Vortex Riders. Quaint, compared to my children,\u201d snarled the monster. It then turned to Sh\u014dtar\u014d and Philip. \u201cWHAT? W hasn\u2019t left?! I\u2019d best take care of you two first.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cPhilip,\u201d directed Sh\u014dtar\u014d, \u201caccess the Gaia Library on this monster.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBeginning the lookup,\u201d reported Philip. A bright light then appeared beneath him as he shut his eyes. \u201cKeywords?\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDalek Dopant,\u201d answered the monster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cStay out of this!\u201d I hissed. Philip then gasped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt\u2019s Davros!\u201d he yelped. Sh\u014dtar\u014d goggled at the Dopant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThat thing became a Dopant?!\u201d he cried.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cCorrect,\u201d confirmed the Dopant, Davros. The occupants of the TARDIS then exited said time machine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou, idiots that decided on getting revenge,\u201d I snarled, \u201cgo to my quarters. I\u2019ll talk to you once I\u2019ve dealt with Davros.\u201d I drew out my i.d tag. \u201cHenshin!\u201d I then drew out a new i.d tag, the W i.d tag. I had to touch both Sh\u014dtar\u014d and Philip at the same time to get it. I selected CycloneJoker for the specific form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cW CycloneJoker Steel!\u201d announced Vortoranii.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cCYCLONE! JOKER!\u201d called the W Driver\u2019s voice. The music for the respective Gaia Memories played. Sh\u014dtar\u014d and Philip then pulled out their Gaia Memories, Heat and Metal. They pressed the buttons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHEAT!\u201d called one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMETAL!\u201d called the other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHenshin!\u201d announced the two men. Philip then put his Memory in the belt and passed out. Hiiro caught him and brought him to safety. Sh\u014dtar\u014d then put his Memory into the belt after Heat appeared. He then opened the belt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHEAT! METAL!\u201d called the belt. HeatMetal\u2019s Memory music played as W twirled the Metal Shaft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAnd now, my turn,\u201d declared Hiroki as he drew his i.d tag. \u201cHenshin!\u201d After the transformation sequence, he drew out his W i.d tag and selected the form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cW LunaTrigger Steel!\u201d called his belt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cLUNA! TRIGGER!\u201d announced the W Driver\u2019s voice. An ominous glowing sound played followed by some rock guitar riffs. His steel looked like W, but it was yellow on the right side and blue on the left. We went on the offensive, Sengoku using his fancy katana in rifle mode, or tanegashima mode, as he calls it, and firing multiple shots, forcing Davros to try and seek cover. W made multiple hits with his staff and scorched him on impact. My punches and kicks had a windy effect to them. Soon, Davros could barely stand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis clinches it!\u201d called W as he put the Metal Memory into his shaft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMETAL! MAXIMUM DRIVE!\u201d announced the Memory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMETAL BRANDING!\u201d shouted W. Sengoku then put his i.d tag into the rifle and leveled it on Davros.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cFinal attack!\u201d called the weapon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cRIDER LUNATRIGGER BLAST: TRIGGER FULL BURST!\u201d shouted Sengoku. I jumped into the air for a Rider Kick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cRIDER CYCLONEJOKER KICK: JOKER EXTREME!\u201d I announced. Sengoku then fired multiple homing shots on Davros. W\u2019s staff lit up on both ends as he delivered a powerful blow to Davros. I split down the middle and both halves charged at Davros. First my right half, then my left. Both sides reconnected when I landed. I felt weird but shrugged it off. We then came together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSaa, omae no tsumi o kazoero!\u201d we all finished. Davros\u2019 Dopant body exploded, revealing his old self, and an ugly man he was, and the shattered remains of the Dalek Gaia Memory fell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNO! MY POWER!\u201d wailed Davros.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDoctor, take him to the brig,\u201d I directed as we cancelled our transformations. The Doctor then grabbed Davros\u2019 chair and pushed him to the brig.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cRelease me, Doctor!\u201d ordered Davros. \u201cYou will return me to Skaro!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cShut up, or I\u2019ll switch you off!\u201d threatened the Doctor. She soon brought him into the brig as I headed for my quarters. When I arrived, I leveled my gaze at the ones that tried to seek revenge. Those idiots looked pitiful, like children that were sent to their rooms to wait for the other parent to tear them a new one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWell?\u201d I asked icily. \u201cI\u2019m waiting for your explanation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou are\u2026well within your rights to\u2026\u201d began Mikhail. Wrong way to begin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe\u2019re not talking about my rights,\u201d I snarled, \u201cwe\u2019re talking about the fact that you let your anger towards Davros blind you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDavros brought harm to my sister!\u201d argued Mikhail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAnd she was hurt under my command,\u201d supplied Michael.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOn top of that, he helped my sister,\u201d answered Richard. \u201cI owed him.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBesides, we need to make the enemy hurt,\u201d mused Elphaba. Rusty nodded his eyestalk in agreement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYOU THINK THAT\u2019S JUSTIFICATION FOR PETTY REVENGE?!\u201d I roared. I turned to Eiji and Wyldstyle. \u201cI didn\u2019t hear your reasons!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThey\u2019re friends,\u201d replied Wyldstyle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThey needed backup,\u201d gulped Eiji. I shook my head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI don\u2019t believe this!\u201d I shouted. \u201cTell me, does revenge ever complete anyone? Here\u2019s a hint, NO! It doesn\u2019t! It might fly with the Klingons, but we\u2019re not Klingons and those are not Klingon uniforms! Irina almost lost her brother! If she didn\u2019t convince the Doctor to find you, you would have been dead on Skaro, not even in your native universe! There is a limit to the amount of stupidity I can put up with and you\u2019ve just crossed it! Now, I don\u2019t want to hear another word about revenge or making someone hurt! In fact, I don\u2019t want to hear about Davros being hurt while he\u2019s our prisoner! Is that clear?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYour Highness, Davros is too dangerous to be left alive,\u201d retorted Michael. \u201cHe may try to\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cCrystal clear, Your Highness,\u201d interrupted Mikhail. \u201cThis will not happen again and Davros will not be touched unless you say so.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAnd I won\u2019t be saying so anytime soon!\u201d I snapped. \u201cNow, all of you idiots, GET OUT!\u201d They shuffled out of my room. \u201cOh, and Mikhail, I recommend you do everything in your power to make amends with your sister because she almost lost a family member and considered how to approach telling your dad about your death.\u201d Mikhail said nothing, just nodded and shuffled out after the rest of his team. My room was empty, so I took a breath and sat down. Never, in all my life, had I gotten so angry.
