Every crew member had their duty uniforms on. Even Lardeth had dismissed his cloud dress and swapped it out for his duty uniform. Sonic, Amy, Vector, Death, Charline, Peach, Lacey, Jason, and Hiroki were on the&nbsp;<em>Endeavor<\/em>\u2019s bridge while the Autobots and Buzzsaw in his box were in the&nbsp;<em>High Sky<\/em>\u2019s cargo hold. \u201cLardeth, we need to reach the attacker,\u201d declared Arsha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe Autobots are already trying to reach this \u2018Soundwave\u2019 character,\u201d reported Lardeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMessage sent,\u201d Ultra Magnus chimed in. \u201cI find highly unlikely that Soundwave will&#8230;\u201d The ship was hit by the tour bus\u2019 laser fire!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI take your point,\u201d muttered Lardeth. \u201cMs. Dreltem, Mr. Drentar, attack pattern gamma. Target his propulsion.\u201d The&nbsp;<em>High Sky<\/em>&nbsp;fired on Soundwave, but he proved elusive. As he dodged and weaved the ship\u2019s weapons, he continued firing on Patrica\u2019s ship, the&nbsp;<em>Sailing Patch<\/em>. The&nbsp;<em>Endeavor<\/em>&nbsp;was having just as bad luck in hitting Soundwave as the&nbsp;<em>High Sky<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cCaptain, Patrica\u2019s hailing us and the&nbsp;<em>High Sky<\/em>!\u201d called Relper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cPut her through,\u201d directed Arsha. Lardeth and a woman with purple hair, an eyepatch, and eight, purple octopus legs appeared. The woman, Patrica the Cecaelia, was being shaken by Soundwave\u2019s fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI must compliment you two,\u201d praised Patrica, \u201cyou are Elven in your punctuality.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cFire up your engines and follow us out of here,\u201d directed Arsha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAn excellent suggestion, Arsha, assuming we had any power for engines at this time,\u201d replied Patrica.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhat\u2019s your status?\u201d asked Lardeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOur engines are gone,\u201d reported Patrica, \u201cour shields are down, and we have no weapons to speak of. We\u2019re running on minimal power to keep us from crashing onto Largandra\u2019s populace and a fourth of my crew is dead.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cPrepare to evacuate the ship,\u201d advised Arsha. \u201cWe\u2019ll bring you aboard.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou\u2019ll have to drop your shields before you can use your teleportation spells!\u201d answered Patrica.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMy ship can take more of a pounding,\u201d assured Lardeth. \u201cWe\u2019ll take you aboard. Arsha, I trust you can keep Soundwave off our backs?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe can,\u201d declared Arsha. \u201cPatrica, once Soundwave is gone, we\u2019ll tow your vessel to the shipyards.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou two are certainly Realmfleet\u2019s finest,\u201d praised Patrica. \u201cLooden out!\u201d The call ended as the&nbsp;<em>High Sky&nbsp;<\/em>maneuvered alongside the&nbsp;<em>Sailing Patch<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Soundwave, meanwhile, rolled his holo-form\u2019s eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cDudes, that ISN\u2019T what I said at all,\u201d he grumbled to himself. \u201cOrganics. Can\u2019t even follow a simple instruct&#8230;is that&#8230;?\u201d he noticed a Spark signature on one of the ships, a DECEPTICON Spark signature. He fired up his comms. \u201cThis is Soundwave, calling the Decepticon on the enemy vessel. Identify yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cJust little old Buzzsaw,\u201d replied the \u2018Con on the other end. Soundwave released a breath.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThank Primus!\u201d he praised. \u201cDid you find any other Decepticons here?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSorry, was put in an awkward position that was preventing me from searching,\u201d sighed Buzzsaw. \u201cThe natives here shoved me into a crate.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHow powerful is your prison?\u201d asked Soundwave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cPit, I could break out easy,\u201d assured Buzzsaw. \u201cI was just biding my time, knowing you were looking for me as well. I\u2019ll be out shortly and join you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cGood to hear,\u201d answered Soundwave. \u201cSoundwave out.\u201d He ended communications and found the door for the&nbsp;<em>High Sky\u2019s&nbsp;<\/em>cargo bay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Buzzsaw decided now was a good time to break out. He flashed his talons and raked them across the box\u2019s interior. \u201cHey, anyone hear that?\u201d asked a crewmember. That was when the box\u2019s wall broke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHE\u2019S OUT!\u201d called Strongarm as she raised her weapon. Buzzsaw was quicker on the draw and fired at her foot. The rest of the Autobots drew their weapons and attacked. Slash had her sword and rotary shield rake across Buzzsaw\u2019s backside and fired Optic Beams. Buzzsaw dodge-rolled out of the way, allowing the Optic Beams to hit a control panel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOh no!\u201d gasped a female Elf with orange trim on her duty uniform, signifying her status as an Engineer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhat\u2019s wrong?\u201d asked Swoop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHANG ON!\u201d warned the Elf as the cargo bay doors started opening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cCaptain!\u201d yelped the Dwarf Communications Officer. \u201cThe cargo bay doors are opening!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBridge to cargo bay, what\u2019s going on down there?!\u201d called Lardeth over the comms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBuzzsaw\u2019s out!\u201d replied Ultra Magnus. \u201cThe controls for the cargo bay doors were destroyed in the fight!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cRepair team to cargo bay!\u201d ordered Lardeth. \u201cFix the controls for the cargo bay doors!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNegative!\u201d countered Ultra Magnus. \u201cWait until we\u2019re outside the ship!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhat?!\u201d protested Lardeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cTrust me!\u201d urged Ultra Magnus. \u201cWe won\u2019t hit the populace below!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c&#8230;Repair team, hold on until the Autobots and Decepticon are outside,\u201d Lardeth finally conceded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cCaptain,\u201d called Malak on the&nbsp;<em>Endeavor<\/em>, \u201crestricting our fire to Soundwave\u2019s propulsion is not proving fruitful!

All Riders then brought out their belts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cVortex Driver!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cChronicle Driver!\u201d The belts were fastened on and all Riders got their transformation gimmicks out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHENSHIN!\u201d they shouted. Hiroki inserted his i.d. tag and spun the wheel. Peach and Jason inserted the Armor Auto-bios and pressed the shelf down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOpen! Turn! Imagine!\u201d cheered all two Chronicle Drivers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe Scepter of Crown!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe Roller of Turf!\u201d All Riders were ready. Hiroki was Kamen Rider Sengoku, Charline was Kamen Rider Herald O, Death was Kamen Rider Death, Peach was Kamen Rider Crown, Jason was Kamen Rider Turf, and Lacey was Kamen Rider Apocalypse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cGet him down!\u201d commanded Sengoku. The Riders converted their melee weapons to ranged mode and fired, attracting Davros\u2019 attention. Davros swooped in and landed on the hull. \u201cI must admit,\u201d mused Sengoku, \u201cI didn\u2019t think you\u2019d try to attack a pair of heavily armed ships on your own. Weren\u2019t you in the Under-realm when last we saw each other? How did you gain control of a Realmgate?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThat is of no consequence!\u201d boomed Davros. \u201cWhat IS of consequence is that I pay you back for assisting W and Royal in humiliating me!\u201d Then came another voice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cDALEK! UPGRADE!\u201d announced the voice of a Gaia Memory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cUpgrade?!\u201d yelped Hiroki.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cEMPEROR!\u201d continued the Gaia Memory\u2019s voice. Davros went from standard Emperor Dalek to humanoid monster evoking an Emperor Dalek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWell, I must admit, I didn\u2019t think you\u2019d obtain the Gaia Memory Enhancing Adapter,\u201d gulped Sengoku. \u201c&#8230;Okay, that\u2019s a mouthful.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt\u2019s one of my own design,\u201d boasted Davros, the Emperor Dalek Dopant. \u201cI\u2019d prefer to make you suffer for the embarrassment you\u2019ve caused me on Vorton!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou need a hobby,\u201d snarked Sengoku. The Emperor Dalek Dopant raised his left hand and showed his palm to reveal a blaster hole in it. \u201cLOOK OUT!\u201d warned Sengoku. Everyone got out of the way as the Emperor Dalek Dopant fired. The Riders then converted their weapons to melee mode and attacked. The Emperor Dalek Dopant managed to deflect their blows easily. Just then, Sengoku slapped his forehead. \u201cDopant, I forgot!\u201d he hissed to himself as he took out the W i.d. tag. He swapped out his i.d. tag for the new one and the selection wheels came up. Since Davros was based on a creature that resides in metal, his first option was Heat. He then picked Trigger for his weapon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cW HeatTrigger Steel!\u201d called the Vortex Driver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHEAT! TRIGGER!\u201d called out the voice of the Gaia Memories. Heat\u2019s rock and roll guitar music played, then Trigger\u2019s rock guitar riffs followed after. Sengoku\u2019s wardrobe then attached armor based off of Kamen Rider W in HeatTrigger form. He converted his blade to ranged mode and fired, causing small explosions to erupt on the Emperor Dalek Dopant\u2019s exterior. Still, he didn\u2019t flinch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNice try,\u201d taunted the Dopant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cReally didn\u2019t wanna try this,\u201d sighed Sengoku. He inserted the i.d. tag into his rifle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cFinal Attack!\u201d it called. He then took it out and put it back into the belt. His hand hovered over the wheel when Apocalypse stopped him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSludgiona warned against this!\u201d she protested. \u201cDeath may be taking your soul if you try!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhat\u2019s going on?!\u201d called Turf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHis i.d. tag is charged with powerful energy reserved for only one final attack!\u201d explained Death. \u201cHe took it out before he unleashed the attack and put it into the belt to charge it with more energy than his body could handle! Sengoku, no!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIf I don\u2019t try,\u201d insisted Sengoku, \u201cDavros will kill everyone below!\u201d He managed to get Apocalypse off of him and spun the wheel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cFinal Attack!\u201d called the belt as energy flowed violently around him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cR&#8230;Rider&#8230;Sengoku&#8230;W&#8230;Heat&#8230;Trigger Twin&#8230;Finish!\u201d strained Sengoku. \u201cTwin&#8230;Maximum!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cTRIGGER! MAXIMUM DRIVE! HEAT! MAXIMUM DRIVE!\u201d announced the belt before it looped on \u201cMAXIMUM DRIVE!\u201d He then made an effort to raise his rifle on the Emperor Dalek Dopant. It was a greater effort to pull the trigger, but he did so. The shot knocked him off his feet and caused him to black out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hiroki woke up, no longer in his Rider form and on some sort of medical bed. He groaned as he tried to form a sentence. \u201cEasy,\u201d called a calming, male voice. \u201cIt was touch and go for a minute. You\u2019re safe now.\u201d Hiroki looked to see a Merman in a tank of water that moved like a wheelchair. The Merman wore a white tube top with a red cross on the front. \u201cI am Doctor Shanerda Elegrel, Chief Medical Officer of the Largandra Shipyards.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c&#8230;Win?\u201d Hiroki managed to get out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYour friends are outside, waiting to fill you in,\u201d explained Shanerda in his soothing voice. \u201cDo you feel well enough to receive them?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYes,\u201d groaned Hiroki as he slowly got up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cGood,\u201d replied Shanerda. \u201cI\u2019ll send them in.\u201d His tank glided across the floor as he opened the door. \u201cYou may see him,\u201d he directed. Death led the crowd with a stern look on her face. Arsha, Patrica, and Lardeth joined the crowd, as did the Autobots\u2019 holo-forms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHow do you feel?\u201d whispered Death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI ache all over,\u201d groaned Hiroki as he rubbed his shoulder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou\u2019re about to sting in a certain place!\u201d hissed Death. She then wound her hand up and slapped him across the face. The resulting clap of her hand meeting his cheek echoed throughout the medical ward, causing everyone to gasp. Hiroki held his hand to the currently stinging cheek. He figured out why she slapped him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhat I did,\u201d he hissed, \u201cwas to stop Davros from killing innocent people!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAt the cost of your own life!\u201d snarled Death. \u201cThat was a stupid gamble! You were out for two hours! I was worried I would have to do my job!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWell, you didn\u2019t!\u201d argued Hiroki.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNot a viable excuse!\u201d shouted Death. \u201cI better not hear about you or ANY of you Riders doing something this stupid again, all right?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c&#8230;Fine,\u201d sighed Hiroki.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cGood,\u201d hissed Death.

He must have intercepted a transmission I was making to Realmfleet.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhy would he do that?\u201d asked Lardeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHaven\u2019t the foggiest,\u201d replied Patrica.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThink hard,\u201d urged Arsha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cVarious members of your crew,\u201d continued Lardeth, \u201csaid you had initially intercepted a transmission from Reb Rojam.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOf course I intercepted one of her transmissions,\u201d confirmed Patrica. \u201cThat\u2019s what Protector Pirates do, intercept transmissions from unsavory pirates.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhat, exactly, were you doing intercepting Reb\u2019s transmissions in the first place?\u201d asked Arsha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAll I know,\u201d explained Patrica, \u201cwas that my First Mate, may his soul be in the Divine Ones\u2019 eternal embrace, had heard a rumor that someone in Reb\u2019s fleet had developed personal Realm crossing technology without the use of a Realmgate. Such a rumor was making him a little nervous. When the First Mate gets nervous, I get nervous.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAnd that\u2019s all?\u201d quizzed Arsha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt was enough for me to order my spies,\u201d replied Patrica, \u201cto gather any information concerning that. Lo and behold, they intercepted an advertisement relating to such technology being given to the criminal underworld. I decided that Realmfleet would pay a little more for such technology, so I attacked Reb\u2019s ship. During the fight, she vanished, surprising her crew. Later, her hubby vanished as well. We managed to grab the device and took off, ensuring that Reb\u2019s ship didn\u2019t pursue. After which, I transmitted a message to Realmfleet, advertising the technology and what I was willing to sell it for.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAnd that\u2019s when Soundwave intercepted your transmission and attacked your ship, killing a fourth of your crew?\u201d guessed Arsha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI guess he wanted to modify it so he could go home,\u201d mused Patrica. \u201cIn any case, I destroyed the cargo before he could get his hands on it. I wasn\u2019t about to let a knock-off Conquertron take it and warp it into a weapon.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHe\u2019s a Decepticon,\u201d corrected Ultra Magnus. \u201cBut, you do raise a point. If Soundwave got his hands on it, we would have had the entire Decepticon Armada leveling cities here.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThen we need to find a Temporal Stop quickly,\u201d declared Death. \u201cWe find that, line it up with other Temporal Stops, we find our allies, then defeat our enemies\u2019 combined forces.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI guess we\u2019re going to have to start with a search around Largandra,\u201d muttered Arsha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAfter Rokalla debriefs us,\u201d supplied Lardeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThen we wait, for now,\u201d declared Death.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The two ships had reached Captain Patrica Looden\u2019s ship hovering over Arsha\u2019s home of Largandra while under attack from a flying tour bus.
