\u201cThat\u2019s a joke, I\u2019m sure?\u201d asked Vortech.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNo, my lord,\u201d sighed Sludgiona. \u201cHiro Adachi is dead. Kamen Rider Vortex has awoken.\u201d Vortech went deep in thought and worry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve just entered our darkest hour, then,\u201d he mused. I felt weak in the knees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cPardon me,\u201d I mumbled. I stumbled off to my quarters, my mind in a whirlwind of emotions. First my failure in Jurassic World<\/em> and now this?! My fianc\u00e9e dead?! I finally reached my quarters and let myself collapse on the bed. My entire body was wracked with sobbing. I don\u2019t know how long I was crying, but, Ambassador Hell opened my door.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIgura,\u201d he began, \u201cgiven the\u2026situation, Lord Vortech has ordered the building of a fallback position. But, know that you are free to use my troops to initiate a counter-attack against the\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cCOUNTER-ATTACK?!\u201d I shrieked as I hurled a vase at Ambassador Hell\u2019s head. He ducked. \u201cPerhaps you fail to remember the reports of two Kamen Riders cleaving a mountain or flooding an island! With Vortex and Apocalypse having awoken, and our strongest warrior dead, our enemies can destroy us all with a wave of their hand! We must level the playing field, if not tip the balance of power back in our favor, in order to properly give Hiro the eternal rest that is his!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIs there not a weapon to rival their power?\u201d asked Ambassador Hell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cCorrect, the Foundation Saber,\u201d I replied. \u201cBut, it\u2019s locked within the vaults of After Academy. Only students and staff can freely enter and exit that campus. Even then, only Lord Vortech can use it, and he has no intentions of doing so.\u201d My tears were spent, as was my rage. If anything, Ambassador Hell\u2019s words gave me the means to move on and come up with an idea. I started laughing. \u201cBut, I might get that access and wield that power if I were to control such genetic material!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n We arrived back on Vorton, the home team cheering at our return. Hiroki hugged both me and Okaa-san. There was a lot of hugging going on. Families were being reconnected. \u201cQuite the reunion,\u201d I called.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cSo nice to see our families!\u201d cheered Tonje as she hugged her mother and grandmother.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cMove aside!\u201d declared Mrs. Linda Saunders. \u201cI want to see my babies!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI beg your pardon?\u201d asked Hiroki.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cMy babies! Emily and Richard!\u201d answered Linda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDidn\u2019t they meet up with you?\u201d asked Emmanuel as he helped his aged father sit down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNo,\u201d I replied. \u201cI thought they would be here by now.\u201d At that point, a rift opened and Lacey came through with Death, three other ladies who I presume the rest of Death\u2019s team, and five other people, one man and four girls. The man wore a skirt. \u201cLacey, welcome,\u201d I greeted. \u201cI would have baked a cake for you, but we just found that Emily\u2019s team hasn\u2019t come back yet.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI wouldn\u2019t worry too much,\u201d assured Lacey. \u201cThey\u2019re all right. They\u2019re waiting for you guys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThen get us to the dimension they\u2019re in!\u201d demanded Fred. \u201cI want to see my sweet, baby girl and my strong son!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cBut the Gateway can only send seven to a certain dimension,\u201d I replied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNot with your current powers,\u201d whispered Death. \u201cYou can go there without a Gateway and summon others. You just need to think of your targets.\u201d When I heard that, I grinned like a maniac.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHenshin!\u201d I announced. My suit formed. \u201cSuper Charge!\u201d The color changed and the suit bulked up. \u201cAnd\u2026Dai Super Charge!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHIT THE DECK!\u201d warned Okaa-san. Everyone hit the floor as my armor flew off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOoh! Can\u2019t wait!\u201d I giggled<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNice suit!\u201d complimented Hiroki. \u201cWhat do you think of it?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI was too busy fighting the late Hiro Adachi to find a mirror,\u201d I replied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHe\u2019s dead?!\u201d yelped Lukas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHe blew himself up, rather than let us help him with his wounds,\u201d I recounted. \u201cThe balance of power is in our favor.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI need to find him and collect him then,\u201d whispered Death. \u201cLacey, sweetie, could you accompany Megumi in my place while she retrieves her friends?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOf course,\u201d answered Lacey. \u201cAnd, Megumi, if it\u2019s a mirror you want\u2026\u201d she then summoned dark mist, let it surround her legs, made it grow, and then got it off her legs to make a mirror with a black frame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cShe can use magic?\u201d muttered Gandalf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cMagic beyond what you\u2019re familiar with,\u201d explained Lacey. I looked in the mirror to see my suit. It was gold with cream tiger stripes. It had a crown with three points, the middle one being the largest. There was a blue jewel in the crown\u2019s center with my helmet\u2019s antennae behind the crown. It had a cape and a skirt that opened under my belt, to allow for easy kicking, no doubt. My eyes were cream colored this time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOooh, Megumi likes!\u201d I giggled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWith that kind of suit, and the power it supposedly comes with,\u201d remarked Hiroki, \u201cwe may start calling you \u2018Your Majesty\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cQueen Megumi Hishikawa,\u201d mused Emmanuel. \u201cI like the sound of that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI\u2019m not married,\u201d I countered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cQueen Elizabeth I was unmarried,\u201d replied Joshua\u2019s dad, Tim, \u201cand she ruled England for some time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHow about this,\u201d I suggested. \u201cI\u2019ll be called Queen Megumi ONLY by unanimous vote. All right?\u201d Everyone nodded. \u201cGood. With that out of the way, Lacey, why don\u2019t you introduce your friends?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cGladly,\u201d agreed Lacey. \u201cThis is War.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cGreetings,\u201d grunted the armored woman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cPestilence,\u201d introduced Lacey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHello,\u201d wheezed the green woman as she waved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cFamine,\u201d announced Lacey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHey!\u201d mumbled the bony woman as she scarfed down some wings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAnd my classmates, Amelia,\u201d continued Lacey<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cGood evening,\u201d answered the tall woman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cSophie,\u201d announced Lacey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYo,\u201d said the short, stocky girl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cFlora,\u201d called Lacey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cUm, hello,\u201d said the plump girl, in a quiet, shy tone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cCharline,\u201d introduced Lacey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWhat\u2019s up?\u201d called the muscular girl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAnd Brendan,\u201d finished Lacey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNice to meet you,\u201d greeted the man.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cMy classmates have joined on as our heralds,\u201d explained Lacey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWell then, welcome to the war against Vortech,\u201d I said. \u201cNow, with that out of the way, shall we? Lacey, Mr. and Mrs. Saunders, Mr. Kuznetsov, Mr. Archer, Mrs. Acqua, and Mr. Lin, care to join us?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOf course,\u201d replied Mr. Longwear Lin. \u201cI want to see my son!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAny idiot that keeps me a second longer from my little pirates,\u201d hissed Mr. Sergei Kuznetsov, \u201cis going to be a dead man.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThen let\u2019s not wait a second longer,\u201d I declared. \u201cLet\u2019s go! X-PO, the coordinates, if you please!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cComing up!\u201d said X-PO. He beamed the info into my belt and I started concentrating. I focused on the parents, Lacey, and myself. All of a sudden, portals opened beneath us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI need to learn how to open them where I waaAAAAAAAAANT!!!!!!\u201d I screamed as we all fell into the vortex. We tumbled, not so gracefully, through the vortex until we landed in front of a set of gates. We looked up to see the sign read \u201cJurassic World\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cSeriously?\u201d scoffed Linda. \u201cDidn\u2019t they learn from the first movie?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWHO YOU?!\u201d boomed a voice. The earth shook in a rhythmic pattern, like footsteps, and a metal 80\u2019s T-Rex stomped into view. It was grey with red eyes, was walking erect while dragging the tail, and had the hands down with the fingers pointing down. \u201cWhat you doing here?!\u201d roared the T-Rex.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cGrimlock?!\u201d yelped Fred. The T-Rex turned its head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHow you know Me Grimlock name?\u201d snarled Grimlock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe come from another universe where\u2026\u201d I began.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cMore?!\u201d wailed Grimlock. \u201cWhy more coming here?! If you from Shocker Rift\u2026!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNo no no!\u201d I halted. \u201cListen, we\u2019re friends with other Riders! Have you seen Kamen Rider Touch\u00e9?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cFor all Me Grimlock know,\u201d boomed Grimlock, \u201cyou spies for Shocker Rift!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cSignore Grimlock, aspetta un momento!\u201d (Mister Grimlock, wait a minute!) called a voice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThat voice!\u201d recognized Mrs. Acqua. That was when a certain mermaid obsessed Italian woman ran up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cMamma!\u201d cheered Livia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cLivia, mia figlia preziosa!\u201d (my precious daughter) called Mrs. Acqua as Livia hugged her. They started talking in their native Italian, with happy tears going down their faces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cEr, Me Grimlock no understand why fish girl crying and hugging,\u201d muttered Grimlock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cGrimlock, I\u2019d like you to meet my mother!\u201d introduced Livia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOh,\u201d mumbled Grimlock, looking rather embarrassed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cMr. Grimlock!\u201d called Fred.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cEr, yes?\u201d quizzed Grimlock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI\u2019m a huge fan of yours!\u201d cheered Fred. \u201cCould I get your autograph?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cEr, you have autograph pad?\u201d floundered Grimlock, a little out of his depth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cCan we focus on something else, like getting your children back?\u201d I asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cEr, I\u2019m sorry, Signorina, who are you?\u201d Livia asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWhat? Livia, it\u2019s me! It\u2019s\u2026oh, wait, I\u2019m still suited up. Hold on,\u201d I replied. I then cancelled my transformation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cMegumi?!\u201d realized Livia. \u201cYou did it?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI did it! I\u2019m Kamen Rider Vortex now!\u201d I confirmed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThat lady one who train with beasts?\u201d asked Grimlock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThat\u2019s the one!\u201d replied Livia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThen she need to see her friends!\u201d declared Grimlock. \u201cFollow me, everyone!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWatch your step, though,\u201d warned Lacey. \u201cThe place is a little wet.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHow do you know?\u201d I asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI helped them out and flooded the place,\u201d explained Lacey. The doors opened and we entered Lake Jurassic World<\/em>. The place was flooded out. There were a few islands, one of them had a table with a lot of food. There, feasting, were Emily, Richard, Michael, Irina, Mikhail, and Haitao. There was a brunette teenage boy with green eyes, and Ursula the Sea Witch at the table as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThis is the good stuff,\u201d sighed Richard. \u201cA real homemade ice cream cone.\u201d He raised his cone as he munched on his burger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYou know,\u201d mused the brunette, \u201cI feel like I\u2019m back at Burger Shack.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI\u2019d love to try that stuff!\u201d called Richard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWith a smoothie in my hand,\u201d continued the brunette, \u201cand propping my feet up after a hard day\u2019s battle.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOnly,\u201d joked Emily, \u201ca hard day\u2019s battle is just your typical Saturday of fun and games for you and Rook.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAnd Gwen and Kevin, don\u2019t forget them,\u201d supplied Richard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cSo, that IS Ben 10 I\u2019m seeing,\u201d I observed. Everybody turned to see us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cMegumi?!\u201d called Emily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNot just little old me,\u201d I replied. I then moved to reveal our families.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNo way!\u201d breathed Richard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDaddy?!\u201d called Emily as tears of happiness glistened. Both Saunders kids ran to their parents and tackle-hugged them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWelcome, Lords and Ladies, to Jurassic World<\/em>!\u201d greeted Haitao.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYou utter scamps!\u201d shouted Mr. Alexander Archer. \u201cA merry hunt you\u2019ve led us on, making us sick with worry, and we find you feasting!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cFather, we are simply sitting of a field of victory, blessed by Nike herself,\u201d countered Michael, \u201cand we\u2019re enjoying a few well-earned comforts. The salted pork is particularly good.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201c\u2026S\u2026Salted Pork?\u201d muttered Mr. Archer, salivating slightly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe\u2019re under orders to relax,\u201d explained Mikhail as he and Irina pulled up a chair for Sergei. \u201cStrict orders from Dinobot, who\u2019s taken over management while the other Dinobots and Owen Grady deal with a problem.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWhat problem is that?\u201d I asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI called her Hillbilly Heather,\u201d elaborated Emily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHow\u2019d SHE get out?!\u201d yelped Mrs. Saunders. \u201cI got charges to stick on her two years ago! After she tried to kill you when you didn\u2019t commit suicide!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThere\u2019s a tale for you,\u201d replied Emily. \u201cPull up a seat and I\u2019ll tell it.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u201cThat\u2019s a joke, I\u2019m sure?\u201d asked Vortech. \u201cNo, my lord,\u201d sighed Sludgiona. \u201cHiro Adachi is dead.
