\u201cLook at all the junk!\u201d breathed Guard as we entered the citadel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIf I didn\u2019t know why Vortech was collecting it all,\u201d mused Battle, \u201cI\u2019d call him a hoarder.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThere\u2019s just one problem,\u201d remarked Wyldstyle. \u201cWhere\u2019s MetalBeard?!\u201d She then remembered. \u201cOh, and your friends too, of course.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI don\u2019t know,\u201d replied Batman. \u201cIt\u2019s empty.\u201d He was right. There was nobody there!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSo were the Mines of Moria when I arrived with the Fellowship,\u201d warned Gandalf. \u201cBe on your guard.\u201d Wise words.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI always am!\u201d declared Batman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIs that\u2026the Keyblade?!\u201d I asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt is!\u201d confirmed Sengoku. \u201cHow they separated it from Sora, I\u2019ll never know!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThat\u2019s not all they stole,\u201d called Ichig\u014d. \u201cLook!\u201d We looked up to see a spaceship above us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cA Prometheus-class starship!\u201d breathed Touch\u00e9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cLook at the name and registry!\u201d called Guard. We got a good look. It was NCC-1701-G. The U.S.S. Enterprise-H<\/em>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThat name must be a Foundation Element!\u201d I guessed. \u201cHow\u2019s Starfleet gonna explain this?!\u201d Someone cleared their throat and we turned to see Lord Vortech sitting on his throne.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAh-ah-ah!\u201d he chided. \u201cThose aren\u2019t for you!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cVortech, you\u2019re playing with fire!\u201d I warned. \u201cWe need to take them back to their respective universes! These ARE for us!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNo,\u201d replied Vortech as he opened multiple rifts, \u201cTHESE are for you!\u201d Vortexons came out of the rifts and charged at us! We defended ourselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWhat\u2019s the idea with the Vortexons?!\u201d snapped Seeker. We kept them back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWhy have an army if you have to do everything yourself?\u201d asked Vortech. He summoned a giant gun and fired. \u201cDid you honestly think you could just wander into my palace and steal your friends back?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThat\u2019s the general idea!\u201d replied Wyldstyle. \u201cSet the prisoners free! You can\u2019t hold them forever!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIt\u2019s over for you now!\u201d declared Vortech. \u201cGive up, now!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNot a chance!\u201d I answered. It was then I realized that Vortech was slowly turning himself into mist! The mist was gathering around us! Thank goodness Arch had a bright idea and swapped i.d. tags. Sento had given us the secrets of his forms while X-PO was making the map. Arch swapped out his i.d. tag for the Build one and selected a form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cBuild HawkGatling Steel!\u201d announced his belt. The Build Driver\u2019s voice then resounded throughout the temple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cTENKUU NO ABARENBOU!\u201d (The Rampage of the Skies!) it called. \u201cHAWKGATLING! YEAH!\u201d He then fired off multiple rounds from his bow and the mist released us. A fire tornado appeared with Vortech in the center!<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI am one with the elements!\u201d he boasted. \u201cI control them!\u201d He then sent out some fire rings, decreasing the power of the tornado before he was just in a fire shield.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cGandalf!\u201d I called.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cElemental Keystone, activate!\u201d announced Gandalf. \u201cElement of water, Royal!\u201d I then doused the shield. X-PO chose this moment to call us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHey, guys!\u201d he called. \u201cSoooo, this is gonna be a pain, buuuuuut the rift calculations are taking longer than I thought. Use this to keep Lord Vortech preoccupied.\u201d He then opened a rift to give Decade a Rider Card. It had my image on it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cMinions, deal with these interlopers!\u201d ordered Vortech. More Vortexons appeared and attacked. When we cleared them, Vortech made himself into mist as he summoned that giant gun again. \u201cYou cannot hide!\u201d We were snagged again! Decade had managed to turn his book into another configuration and used another card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAttack Ride: Blast!\u201d announced the Decadriver. It fired off multiple shots into the mist. The mist yelped in pain as it became an ice tornado. It sent rings out, decreasing its size until it was just Vortech in an ice shield.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cMy turn!\u201d declared Decade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cElement of fire, Decade!\u201d announced Gandalf. As the red aura surrounded him, Decade held up the new card walked up behind me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThis may tickle a bit,\u201d he warned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cEh?\u201d I asked. He then inserted the new card into the Decadriver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cFinal Form Ride: Royal!\u201d it announced. Decade then mimed opening my backside and aaaaaaaAAAAAARRGRHRGHERGHR! My head folded into my chest! My arms raised above my shoulders, sprouting blades and forming a sword! My legs twisted up at the knees, making the handle and cross-guard! I turned into a sword and was in a lot of pain!<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cTalk about Targetmasters!\u201d joked Guard. I was in too much pain to ask. I then heard the Decadriver say something else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cFinal Attack Ride: R-R-R-Royal!\u201d it called. I then felt fire go up my arms and I felt myself being swung downwards! I then unfolded back into my human shape, my pain subsiding. I walked up to Decade and slapped him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNEVER DO THAT AGAIN!\u201d I roared. \u201cTHAT WAS TOO PAINFUL!\u201d Vortech then tried again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI am everywhere!\u201d he boasted as he turned into mist. \u201cI am all powerful!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNope!\u201d called K\u00e4mpfer. \u201cNipping this in the bud!\u201d He fired multiple shots into the mist and it formed Vortech\u2019s fire tornado again. I was still controlling water, so I doused it once the fire rings passed us. We then attacked Vortech, but he knocked us aside with his staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNO! NO! This will not happen! I am Lord Vortech!\u201d shouted Vortech. The rift X-PO created then opened and started sucking Vortech in, but\u2026well, X-PO can explain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAh, the old creating-a-giant-spider-web-to-stop-from-tumbling-into-a-massive-dimensional-rift act!\u201d he mused over the comms. \u201cMegumi, your Keystone! Now, hurry up! The rift won\u2019t be stable for long! Sorry! I\u2019m kind of bad at this! I fell asleep in Dimensional Rift-making Class!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI\u2019m sure it will be sufficient, X-PO!\u201d I assured. \u201cLocate Keystone, activate! Initiate rift detection!\u201d I found it. \u201cIdentify source of rift!\u201d The information beamed into my head. \u201cLocate help from D-0-C-T-0-R-W-H-0!\u201d A Special Weapons Dalek and a standard Dalek in khaki-green, a Union Jack under its eyestalk, and an army utility belt from WWII.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI am your soldier!\u201d declared the standard Dalek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAs am I,\u201d reported the Special Weapons Dalek in a deeper Dalek voice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNo Daleks!\u201d snapped Battle. \u201cI absolutely draw the line!\u201d I wasn\u2019t about to look a gift-horse in the mouth, though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDaleks, can you shoot the web Vortech spun himself?\u201d I quizzed<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe can!\u201d assured the Special Weapons Dalek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDo it,\u201d I ordered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe obey!\u201d called both Daleks. They took aim and fired! Vortech was about to be sucked in! Then\u2026it happened. He closed the rift behind him and landed on the floor in a superhero landing pose!<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI think this has gone on long enough!\u201d he chuckled as he dusted himself off. That was when his minions grabbed us and restrained us, cancelling our transformations. He then opened rifts to reveal Robin, MetalBeard, Frodo, and Ichimonji!<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cBATMAN!\u201d shouted Robin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cGandalf!\u201d screamed Frodo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWyldstyle!\u201d called MetalBeard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHongo!\u201d yelled Ichimonji.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cFriendship is a weakness,\u201d boasted Vortech. \u201cYou should have just destroyed your Foundation Elements.\u201d He then called up someone. \u201cHiro, how fares the siege?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIt fares well!\u201d replied Hiro\u2019s voice. \u201cWe\u2019ve found the Element vault and have scuttled Vader\u2019s Star Destroyer!\u201d I then became worried and switched my comms on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAnyone! Report!\u201d I shouted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cGuys, it\u2019s X-PO!\u201d replied the person on the other end. \u201cVorton\u2019s under attack! It\u2019s times like this when I wish I knew how to fight and not make sarcastic comments!\u201d I then heard a struggle and the Joker\u2019s laugh. A new caller came in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThis is Rusty!\u201d answered the new caller. \u201cWe\u2019ve been overrun! The Elements we have are being taken!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cCorrection,\u201d corrected a voice I loathe, \u201cthe Elements you\u2019ve HAD have BEEN taken!\u201d Hiro and his forces had appeared out of a rift and set our Foundation Elements beneath the shield in the floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHere you go, Boss!\u201d called the Joker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWhat did you do to X-PO, Joker?!\u201d demanded Batman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI put a smile on his face!\u201d replied the Joker. The Foundation Elements then rose on pillars where they were set and orbited the Enterprise. They made an energy cyclone that went straight to the floor and revealed what was beneath a set of sliding panels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cBEHOLD!\u201d boomed Vortech as the object came up from beneath the forcefield. \u201cTHE FOUNDATION OF ALL DIMENSIONS!\u201d I must say, the end goal was NOT what I expected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAll this,\u201d muttered Batman, \u201cfor a green square?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI think I know what that square is!\u201d answered Richard. We turned to him. \u201cWe\u2019re just Legos to Vortech, for him to manipulate as he sees fit! That green square is just the starters kit, the place for him to begin making worlds!\u201d Vortech then landed on the square. Energy coursed through him!<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI can feel everything!\u201d he cried. \u201cControl everything!\u201d Just then, the cages opened and the occupants orbited Vortech!<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHey!\u201d roared Batman. \u201cGive us back our friends!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOh, don\u2019t worry!\u201d replied Vortech. \u201cThe last thing I want to do is\u2026\u201d he then spawned a blob of whatever he was made of, \u201cKEEP YOU APART!\u201d He laughed manically as he tossed the blob into the air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWhat is he doing to them?!\u201d wailed Gandalf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHe\u2019s insane!\u201d called Wyldstyle. Ichimonji, MetalBeard, Robin, and Frodo made contact with the blob as it enveloped them, combining them and other metals and ligaments into a four-headed, winged, sword wielding, cannon-armed, giant monster!<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe next time we mess up,\u201d asked the Riddler to Hiro, \u201cis he going to do that to us?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201c\u2026Let\u2019s not find out the answer to THAT particular riddle, shall we?\u201d suggested the Joker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cVortech, where, exactly, does that monstrosity enter into our plan?\u201d asked Hiro. Vortech then chuckled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYour services\u2026are no longer required!\u201d declared Vortech.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201c\u2026Kisama!\u201d insulted Ambassador Hell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYOU\u2019VE DOUBLE-CROSSED THE WRONG MAN, VORTECH!\u201d bellowed Hiro. \u201cYour current numbers against mine make for bad odds!\u201d He loaded his i.d. tag. \u201cHEN\u2026!\u201d He didn\u2019t get very far as Vortech knocked his former flunkies aside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOur numbers cannot overwhelm one like Vortech!\u201d called Davros. \u201cWe must withdraw!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201c\u2026All hands, retreat!\u201d ordered Hiro. They fled the citadel as ships scrambled to get Shocker Rift away from Vortech.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cMetalBeard!\u201d wailed Wyldstyle. The monstrosity turned to us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe are the Quad!\u201d droned the creature with all four heads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cRobin, stop!\u201d called Batman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThere is no Robin,\u201d declared the Quad, \u201conly the Quad!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIchimonji, snap out of it!\u201d called Hongo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIchimonji is nothing but a cog for us, the Quad,\u201d droned the Quad. It swung its sword, but a rift opened beneath us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I couldn\u2019t help but chuckle as they fled my citadel. \u201cYou can\u2019t run forever!\u201d I proclaimed. \u201cEvery dimension is mine! And YOURS will be the first to suffer!\u201d I decided to enlarge the scale of my new creature, the Quad. Once it was at the correct height, my order was simple. \u201cDestroy them!\u201d I ordered. \u201cAnd then, destroy their worlds!\u201d As the Quad flew off, I noticed my pocket was lighter. \u2026NOT AGAIN! Now I\u2019m 115,000 studs lighter!<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThat back-stabbing, no-good, piece of\u2026!\u201d I snarled as the ship left Foundation Prime. \u201cI\u2019M the one who\u2019s supposed to betray HIM, not the other way around!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cEvidently,\u201d remarked Igura, \u201cVortech\u2019s played us for fools. What are your orders?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201c\u2026Find a dimension far enough away for some breathing room,\u201d I ordered the Dalek at the helm. \u201cWe need to regroup.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI obey!\u201d obliged the Dalek as it began a search for a suitable dimension.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We arrived at Vorton to see it in ruins. Life support was still on, but most of the equipment was under repairs. Sento was busy trying to fix\u2026 \u201cX-PO!\u201d cried Wyldstyle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNo, not another death!\u201d I wailed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWhat have they done to you?!\u201d called Gandalf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI guess,\u201d gasped X-PO, \u201cnot everyone loves my care-free approach towards protecting the multiverse. Sorry I couldn\u2019t save your\u2026\u201d his voice-box malfunctioned for a bit. \u201cBut, I programmed the Gateway,\u201d he continued. \u201cYou must stop the Quad! I think this is the end for me, guys.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNo, don\u2019t talk like that!\u201d I protested. \u201cWe\u2019ve got a whole science team to save you!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cMy tech is beyond a lot of scientists,\u201d argued X-PO. \u201cMegumi, try not to blame yourself. I cannot\u2026\u201d his voice finally faded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNO!\u201d wailed Wyldstyle. Flora started hugging Brendan, crying. I stumbled backwards, another loss on my hands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWhat do we do?!\u201d asked Gandalf. I didn\u2019t answer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201c\u2026Megumi?\u201d asked Emily. I wiped my face; my sadness being replaced with anger as I allowed myself to turn into Tora-Onna.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe save our worlds,\u201d I vowed, \u201cand get our friends back!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYeah!\u201d declared Wyldstyle. \u201cAnd then, we kick Vortech\u2019s butt!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAt least I made his pocket lighter,\u201d replied Tsukasa. He pulled out a bag of studs. 115,000 was the total, bringing our total to about 4,361,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cTsukasa, see if you can meet with Kiva,\u201d I requested. \u201cTell him it\u2019s time to gather the Riders. He\u2019ll know which Riders to get.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cGot it,\u201d confirmed Tsukasa. Rusty opened a rift for him and he went through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cTrack the Quad,\u201d I ordered Elphaba and the Brigadier. \u201cGive me the coordinates and I\u2019ll get us all there. Minna, we\u2019re going at it in full gear!\u201d Hongo struck his pose, we drew our i.d. tags, the Heralds opened their phones, and the Horsemen got their belts ready.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cRider\u2026!\u201d began Hongo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHENSHIN!\u201d we all announced.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u201cLook at all the junk!\u201d breathed Guard as we entered the citadel. \u201cIf I didn\u2019t know why Vortech was collecting it all,\u201d mused Battle, \u201cI\u2019d call him a hoarder.\u201d \u201cThere\u2019s just one problem,\u201d remarked Wyldstyle. \u201cWhere\u2019s MetalBeard?!\u201d She then remembered. \u201cOh, and your friends too, of course.\u201d \u201cI don\u2019t know,\u201d replied Batman. \u201cIt\u2019s empty.\u201d He […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":325,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_bbp_topic_count":0,"_bbp_reply_count":0,"_bbp_total_topic_count":0,"_bbp_total_reply_count":0,"_bbp_voice_count":0,"_bbp_anonymous_reply_count":0,"_bbp_topic_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_reply_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_forum_subforum_count":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[96,8],"tags":[14,16,13,9,212,17,28,12,15,83],"class_list":["post-324","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-kamen-rider-vortex","category-kamen-rider-vortex-chapters","tag-batman","tag-gandalf","tag-hiro-adachi","tag-kamen-rider","tag-kamen-rider-decade","tag-kamen-rider-ichigo","tag-lord-vortech","tag-megumi-hishikawa","tag-wyldstyle","tag-x-po"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/samueljvinton.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/324","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/samueljvinton.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/samueljvinton.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/samueljvinton.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/samueljvinton.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=324"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/samueljvinton.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/324\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1112,"href":"https:\/\/samueljvinton.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/324\/revisions\/1112"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/samueljvinton.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/325"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/samueljvinton.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=324"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/samueljvinton.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=324"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/samueljvinton.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=324"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
