I awoke again in Vorton\u2019s Med-bay. I ached all over and I was in my dress instead of my suit. My crown was on a table next to my bed. I slowly sat up, the aches giving my body grief. \u201cWh…what happened?\u201d I mumbled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWell, that was a nasty fight you\u2019ve had,\u201d replied X-PO\u2019s voice. He hovered over me and Emily sat next to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cGuys, what happened?\u201d I asked weakly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSomething very amazing!\u201d chuckled Emily. An idea formed in my head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEmily-chan, are you saying…?!\u201d I quizzed, a happy feeling forming in my chest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou guys did it!\u201d responded X-PO. \u201cLord Vortech has been removed from our reality! Now, he\u2019s some OTHER reality\u2019s problem!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYATTA!\u201d (general Japanese cry of triumph) I cheered before the aches made me fall back into the bed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEasy!\u201d chuckled Emily. Batman, Gandalf, Wyldstyle, and Hongo came in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI take it you\u2019ve heard the news,\u201d guessed Hongo. I nodded with a big fat grin on my face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTrapped for the rest of time,\u201d mused Batman, \u201cwith only himself for company.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cA fitting end, for such a twisted mind,\u201d said Gandalf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAin\u2019t that the truth!\u201d agreed Wyldstyle. A horrible thought struck me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhat about the Doctor?!\u201d I yelped. \u201cAll of them? Are they okay?\u201d Thirteen then strolled in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYeah!\u201d she said. \u201cMe and the rest of my incarnations, we\u2019ve been here for ages when you lot arrived. What took you so long?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI still can\u2019t believe it!\u201d I laughed. \u201cWe WON! Against all odds, WE WON! Please tell me someone\u2019s planning a celebration!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe were waiting for your go-ahead to throw it!\u201d replied Emily. \u201cThere\u2019s just one last thing that needs to be done before we do any partying.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhat\u2019s that?\u201d I asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEveryone needs to heal up,\u201d explained Emily. \u201cI don\u2019t want to deal with reopened wounds during the party.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAnd, guess what?\u201d asked X-PO. He explained before I said anything. \u201cWe just got 70,000 studs richer, courtesy of After Academy. Now, we\u2019re at 4,556,000 studs. Plenty to buy your own universe.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSugoi!\u201d (Feminine form of Sugei) I exclaimed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAll right, everyone, out!\u201d ordered Emily. \u201cMegumi needs rest and she can\u2019t get it with you guys hanging around!\u201d She shooed everyone out of the room as I drifted off to sleep, wondering what the party will entail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c’ej HumtaH ‘ej DechtaH ‘Iw (And the blood was ankle deep)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n ‘ej Doq SoDtaH ghoSpa’ Sqral bIQtIq (And the River Skral ran crimson red)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n ‘e’ pa’ jaj law’ moch jaj puS (On the day above all days)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n jaj qeylIS molar mIgh HoHchu’qu’\u201d (When Kahless slew evil Molor dead!)<\/em> That was the drinking song Sh\u2019Kar taught War as the party went on when everyone healed up from the Vortech Wars. Both ladies gave deep, belly laughs before smashing their heads into one another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI should take a vacation on Qo’noS!\u201d cheered a drunk War. \u201cThe warrior culture, the proud traditions, the weaponry, it roars of honor!\u201d Sh\u2019Kar roared her appreciation of the compliment. While that was going on, Mikhail, Legolas, and Gimli had tankards set in front of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNo pauses,\u201d Boromir said as he laid out the rules, \u201cno spills.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAnd no regurgitations!\u201d called Gimli.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIt\u2019s a drinking game?\u201d quizzed Legolas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cLast one standing wins!\u201d confirmed Mikhail. The three then began downing their liquor. The contest went on for a bit. War and Sh\u2019Kar joined in the audience, giving their roars of encouragement. Gimli let one off and…oh GOD! Dwarf farts are foul!<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIt\u2019s the Dwarves that go swimming with little, hairy women!\u201d slurred Gimli. Mikhail said something in drunken Russian. Legolas, meanwhile, looked at his hands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI feel something,\u201d he muttered, a slight slur in his voice. \u201cA slight…tingling in my fingers! I think it\u2019s affecting me!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWhaddid I ssay?!\u201d slurred Gimli. \u201cHeee can\u2019 \u2018old \u2018is licker!\u201d He then crossed his eyes and passed out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201c…And he killed forty three of the enemy forces,\u201d mused Legolas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cGame is not over!\u201d roared Mikhail. \u201cYou are supposed to be Mirkwood Elf! Your wine is supposed to be strongest alcohol in Middle-Earth! Prove it!\u201d Legolas shrugged as the game continued. Sadly, a Russian\u2019s liver can\u2019t keep up with an Elf\u2019s. Mikhail was the second to pass out. Legolas steadied himself before responding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cGame over,\u201d he said. Merry and Pippin were dancing on the table, singing a song from their home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHey Ho to the bottle I go,<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n To heal my heart and drown my woe!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Rain may fall and wind may blow but there’ll still be,<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Many miles to go!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Sweet is the sound of the pouring rain,<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n And the stream that falls from hill to plain!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Better than rain or rippling brook,<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Is a mug of beer inside this Took!\u201d<\/em> We all cheered as Pippin finished. W. Doctor was regaling a crowd with one of the few funny stories about the Last Great Time War.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI\u2019m serious!\u201d he said as his audience laughed. \u201cThe Daleks kept demanding where the Zonks were! They had no idea that it was Gallifreyan currency!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWith a chameleon circuit laid into each Zonk!\u201d laughed Nine. \u201cIt\u2019s only legal tender on Gallifrey, everyone else throughout time and space calls it counterfeit money!\u201d The audience laughed again. I spotted Batman with his cowl off, Lacey in her new dress, Death, Emily, and Lukas huddled in a corner, watching the party and sipping their drinks. I approached them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIs there room in the Introvert\u2019s corner?\u201d I asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cPlenty!\u201d assured Emily. I joined them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cLukas, I didn\u2019t see you in the drinking game,\u201d I observed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cLast drinking game I had was with Mikhail,\u201d explained Lukas. \u201cA German may love their beer, but our livers aren\u2019t as powerful as a Russian\u2019s.\u201d Just then, I heard someone call \u201cSPEECH!\u201d The chant was taken up and everyone looked at me. I got up on the Gateway platform and called for quiet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cMinna-san,\u201d I began, \u201cthis was, without a doubt, the biggest adventure anyone has ever had in the multiverse.\u201d That remark got a few nods. \u201cOver the course of this adventure,\u201d I continued, \u201cwe\u2019ve had our share of tragedies, but also new beginnings.\u201d Rusty and Elphaba raised their glasses as I said that. \u201cThis whole journey has proved one thing; the multiverse is perfect as is. We don\u2019t need to collide all dimensions into one. It ruins the diversity of life and cultures. That\u2019s what the Feudal Nerd Society was founded on and that is the message we shall continue to spread. With all the Foundation Elements returned to their proper dimensions, the multiverse shall stabilize and flourish. Let\u2019s drink and honor those that have been damaged by Lord Vortech.\u201d Everyone raised their glass and sipped. The party then went on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A few nights later, after everyone got over their hangovers, I had assembled the original Feudal Nerd Society in my room. They found seats where they could and I revealed what I had realized. \u201cMinna,\u201d I murmured, \u201cI just now understand what we need to do.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWhat\u2019s that?\u201d asked Hiroki.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cGuys…the threat is over,\u201d I explained. \u201cThere\u2019s no further need for us.\u201d I looked at everyone\u2019s faces to see them fall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201c…To quote from the Doctor,\u201d whispered Michael, \u201cI don\u2019t want to go.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHarrowing though it was,\u201d murmured Richard, \u201cit was the most fun I\u2019ve had. I liked seeing all those universes, all those realities. Why does it need to end?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThis was an adventure,\u201d whimpered Tanisha as tears started falling, \u201cwhere nobody cared about our religious views, our sexual orientation, our political stances, none of that. Now, we have to go back to that!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI don\u2019t like it any more than you guys do,\u201d I sniffed, \u201cbut staying here is only running away from the problems our world has. That\u2019s why, in two days\u2019 time, we\u2019re going to send everyone home and say goodbye.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIt won\u2019t be a permanent goodbye,\u201d replied a voice. We jumped to see X-PO flying around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDON\u2019T DO THAT!!\u201d I shouted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cSorry,\u201d apologized X-PO, \u201cbut who said it\u2019s goodbye forever? Need I remind you that Hiro and Shocker Rift are still out there?\u201d I then realized what he was saying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHe\u2019s going to continue to cause trouble for the multiverse!\u201d I guessed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cBingo!\u201d exclaimed X-PO. \u201cSo, why not buy that universe I\u2019ve been hinting about and use it as your base of operations against him?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cPerfect!\u201d I cheered. As faces brightened, I turned to my friends. \u201cMinna-san, looks like we don\u2019t need to say goodbye, just \u2018See you later\u2019!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThat\u2019s much more pleasant!\u201d praised Tonje.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWell, if there\u2019s nothing else,\u201d stretched Richard, \u201cI\u2019m going back to bed. Good night, everyone!\u201d Everyone bid each other good night as we returned to our beds and went to sleep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Next morning, I told our allies about what was going on and what will happen the next day. The Doctor seemed to like the idea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYou lot deserve a universe of your own!\u201d she cheered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cLadies and Gentlemen, if I may interrupt?\u201d whispered Death. Everyone turned to her. \u201cMy friends, without your help,\u201d continued Death, \u201cmy job would have been rendered moot. I was thinking of using this gift in the battle against Vortech, but Vader\u2019s Star Destroyer and the Enterprise<\/em> made the ship redundant. So, I present you a gift for your personal use.\u201d She snapped her fingers and a capsule appeared. It had weapons concealed on its surface. \u201cStep inside,\u201d invited Death. We all looked in to see it was…<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDimensionally transcendental!\u201d breathed Michael. Yes, it was bigger on the inside, like the TARDIS. It had three levels and consoles on each level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cA spaceship?!\u201d I yelped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cCourtesy of the Apocalypse Riders and After Academy,\u201d whispered Death. I then hugged her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHold it!\u201d burbled a voice. It was Sludgiona. \u201cThe Vortex Drivers, take them off!\u201d I was surprised but motioned for everyone to obey. As we took off our belts, Vortoranii\u2019s ghost flew out of my Supreme Vortex Driver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWell, it looks like my time has come,\u201d she said. \u201cFor me, this IS goodbye. I must move on and rejoin the souls of my people.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOh,\u201d I murmured. Vortoranii then hugged me before fading completely. \u201cBye,\u201d I sigh. Just then, two humanoids teleported in. Thirteen stepped back when they revealed themselves. It was a woman and a humanoid robot man in postman gear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHello!\u201d called the woman. \u201cWe\u2019re from Kerb!am!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDelivery for the Vortex Riders,\u201d said the robot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cA Kerb!am man!\u201d warned Thirteen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cA what?\u201d I asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cA Kerb!am man!\u201d repeated the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYou\u2019re just making sounds now!\u201d protested Michael.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYou must be the Doctor!\u201d called the woman. \u201cThanks to you, Kandoka\u2019s labor laws have changed. For every robot built, a human must be hired. Now, a delivery bot is paired with a human.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNow THAT\u2019S a step forward!\u201d cheered Thirteen. I accepted the package from the robot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDelivery fulfilled,\u201d announced the bot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAll right, just need you to sign this,\u201d mused the woman as she drew out a receipt. I looked over the receipt to see that Sludgiona had already paid for it, so I signed it. \u201cThank you!\u201d said the woman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAnd remember,\u201d began the robot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIf you want it, Kerb!am it!\u201d said the two as they teleported out, leaving the Kerb!am logo. Just then, our Vortex Drivers vanished.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI\u2019ve vaporized the belts,\u201d explained Sludgiona. \u201cYou can\u2019t use them anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cJust a minute!\u201d I protested. \u201cWe\u2019ve proven ourselves worthy!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYou don\u2019t understand,\u201d assured Sludgiona, \u201cyou ARE worthy, but those now inferior versions of my belt are no longer worthy of you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI don\u2019t…!\u201d I began before Sludgiona interrupted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOh, for the love of…\u201d she snarled. \u201copen the Kerb!am delivery!\u201d I was even more confused now but obeyed and saw…sixteen copies of the belt 70-year-old me wore!<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNew Vortex Drivers?!\u201d I exclaimed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cTHE Vortex Drivers,\u201d elaborated Sludgiona. \u201cWhat you wore on this journey were prototypes. So, none of that Proto-supreme or Supreme Vortex Driver nonsense. All Super and Dai Super Charge sequences are achieved with just that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThank you so much!\u201d I praised. We tried out the new belts. Once the belt strap formed around our waists, they spoke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cVortex Driver!\u201d they said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThey\u2019re gonna do that every time you put them on,\u201d explained Sludgiona. \u201cYour i.d tags will work better with the new belts.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cGuys, we can now continue the fight!\u201d I said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The day had come. It was time to go home. Everyone lined up as X-PO operated the Gateway, figuring out how to send more than seven people home. Elphaba and her group were first. \u201cWell, guys,\u201d she said, \u201cit was nice knowing you, even if our first meeting was bad.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cGoodbye, Elphaba!\u201d I called. \u201cAnd good luck being the Good Witch the West deserves!\u201d Everyone then went through the portal. Next was Homer. \u201cGoodbye, Mr. Simpson,\u201d I said. \u201cNever stop what you\u2019re doing now. You seem to be succeeding right now.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cBye!\u201d said Homer as he went into the portal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThat was quick,\u201d I muttered. Next was the Ninjago team. \u201cIt\u2019s been an honor having you with us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe pleasure was all ours,\u201d replied Sensei Wu as we both bowed to each other. \u201cMay we see each other again.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI\u2019d like that,\u201d I responded. The ninjas then got onto the platform. Lloyd then gave the usual go ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNinja, GO!\u201d he shouted. The ninjas and their sensei spun until they became tornados that matched their outfits and went through the portal. Next up was all the Doctors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDoctor, it was great to meet you,\u201d I told them, \u201cALL of you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cGoodbye, my dear,\u201d replied One. He gave me a firm handshake before stepping into the TARDIS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIt\u2019s been fun, everyone,\u201d said Two, \u201cbut it\u2019s time to go. Goodbye. And, you, Ma\u2019am,\u201d he told Thirteen, \u201cit\u2019s good to know my future is in good hands.\u201d He was about to step into the TARDIS but turned to Three before he did so. \u201cFancy-pants!\u201d he called.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cScarecrow!\u201d responded Three. Two went in and Three turned to us. \u201cGoodbye, everyone,\u201d he told us before he followed Two. Four held out his bag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cJelly baby?\u201d he asked. I never tried one, so I accepted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cCareful, they\u2019re REALLY sweet!\u201d warned Michael. I then took a tentative bite and felt the sugar rush through my body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYou weren\u2019t kidding!\u201d I yelped. \u201cStill, a good sweet! Goodbye, Doctor.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cGoodbye, my dears!\u201d he called as he entered the TARDIS. Five was next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWell, it\u2019s been fun,\u201d he said, \u201cbut I must go now. Things to do, and all that. Goodbye.\u201d He then entered the TARDIS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI must say,\u201d mused Six before he followed Five, \u201cI don\u2019t know what you would have done without me! Goodbye!\u201d He went in before we could protest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAs they say,\u201d called Seven, \u201ctime and tide melts the snowman!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWaits for no man!\u201d Michael and I corrected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWho\u2019s waiting?\u201d asked Seven as he went in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cMuch as I disagree with my fifth incarnation\u2019s idea of wearing a vegetable,\u201d muttered Eight, \u201cit IS time to go. Goodbye, everyone! And may we meet again in the future! Or past! Depending on your timeline!\u201d He entered the TARDIS. W. Doctor slowly walked up to the door before turning to his future incarnations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe won\u2019t remember this, will we?\u201d he asked. \u201cOur telepathic conference, our fight with Vortech, all of it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNo,\u201d replied Nine. \u201cOnly she will.\u201d He was talking about Thirteen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cA pity,\u201d muttered W. Doctor. \u201cI rather liked being the Doctor again. Goodbye, everyone.\u201d He went in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIt was nice to know that Gallifrey survived,\u201d mused Nine. \u201cJust this once, everybody lives. Well, gotta go. There\u2019s a banana grove growing in Villengard. Good source of potassium!\u201d He jumped into the TARDIS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWhat he neglected to mention,\u201d explained Ten, \u201cwas that the whole banana grove thing was our doing when we used a molecular fruit bomb to destroy the thirteen weapons factories before the Daleks could control them during the Time War. Bye-bye!\u201d He ran into the TARDIS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYes, well, things to do!\u201d called Eleven. \u201cThere\u2019s a whole universe out there and I don\u2019t need sand shoes to save it!\u201d Ten poked his head out again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThey\u2019re not sand shoes!\u201d he protested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThey most certainly are!\u201d replied Michael as Eleven entered the TARDIS. Twelve turned to us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI’ll see you again sometime, but not necessarily in the right order,\u201d he told us. I was about to hug him until he stepped back. \u201cI don’t do hugs goodbye. Until next time.\u201d He entered the TARDIS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI do hugs,\u201d said Thirteen. I hugged her. \u201cGood grief,\u201d she muttered as she broke off the embrace, \u201cI forgot how much I tried to be the edgy grandpa.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHonestly,\u201d answered Rusty, \u201cI\u2019m surprised I thought of you as a little sh*t. All of your incarnations have a certain charm.\u201d Just then, One poked his head out of the door.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYou may have been a Dalek in the past,\u201d he snapped, \u201cbut, if I ever hear language like that again, Young Lady, you\u2019re in for a jolly good smacked bottom!\u201d Twelve pulled him in and shut the door while Thirteen went red with embarrassment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cCan we just pretend that never happened?!\u201d she begged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI\u2019m more broad-minded than when I was as a Dalek!\u201d replied Rusty. \u201cI mean, I know you have a thing for punishing us for waging war against life, but…\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cCan we just, please, never talk about that!\u201d pleaded Thirteen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI\u2019m rather interested in hearing all about this,\u201d mused the Brigadier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAll right, you two, police box, now!\u201d demanded Thirteen as she shoved the former Dalek and UNIT allied Cyberman into the TARDIS. \u201cBye!\u201d she said. The door closed and the familiar engines of the TARDIS signaled its departure. Marty and Doc then came up to us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIt was a pleasure seeing more of creation!\u201d exclaimed Doc as he shook my hand vigorously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDoc, easy!\u201d protested Marty. Doc released my hand and entered HIS time machine. \u201cSee you around,\u201d called Marty as he joined Doc. The Time machine then drove into the portal. Chell then signed something to us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI suppose I must go back,\u201d translated Tanisha. She then used her own words. \u201cChell, it was nice meeting you and fighting GLaDOS with you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI did not enjoy the fights!\u201d protested GLaDOS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cGLaDOS, before you go,\u201d called Emily. She then handed over the amorality core. \u201cI programmed the core control to eject the morality core and replace it with that one once you arrive.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThen our business is concluded,\u201d replied GLaDOS. \u201cGoodbye forever.\u201d She and Chell went back home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cXiomara, Emmanuel, Hongo,\u201d called Peter as he and the rest of the Ghostbusters prepared to leave, \u201cif you ever want to feel good again, we\u2019ll leave your positions open.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cMerci!\u201d called Emmanuel. The Ghostbusters then left.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI gotta say,\u201d cheered Jake, \u201cthis whole adventure would make for good video game material!\u201d He jumped onto the rocket and they took off into the portal. Godzilla then stomped up to the portal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWhat, no goodbye?\u201d I asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYou\u2019ll see me again,\u201d replied Godzilla. He entered. Next was Vader and his ship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe Empire owes you a great debt,\u201d rumbled Vader. \u201cYou have my thanks.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAnd you have mine, Lord Vader,\u201d I replied. Vader boarded his ship and the Star Destroyer took off into the large portal in the sky. The crew of the Enterprise<\/em> was next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIt was an excellent fight,\u201d called Sh\u2019Kar. \u201cSongs will be sung of this. Qapla’\u201d (Success) The Enterprise<\/em> then left Vorton\u2019s orbit. Ben and his group then approached the gateway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWell, it\u2019s been fun,\u201d called Ben, \u201cbut we\u2019ve got an interstellar road trip to get started! See you around!\u201d They all left for their home. Mario and Peach then approached the gateway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIt\u2019s-a been fun!\u201d called Mario.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThank you for having us!\u201d cheered Peach. Mario then picked Peach up bridal style and they went through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWell, I gotta go,\u201d said Sonic. \u201cPrime\u2019s gonna be wicked spooked when I arrive back at the Bots\u2019 base! See ya!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWait, Prime?!\u201d I called. \u201cSonic, who are you…?!\u201d Too late. He went through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYou\u2019ll find out soon enough,\u201d whispered Death in assurance. I shrugged and turned to Mystery Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cSee you guys later,\u201d I said. \u201cKeep solving mysteries.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThat\u2019s what we do!\u201d replied Fred as everyone went through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe gotta go, as well,\u201d sighed Lacey. \u201cHey, if you ever want free higher education, After Academy is always an option.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201c…You serious?\u201d I asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWhen you earn your degree there,\u201d elaborated Death, \u201cit will say that you went to the college of your choice. We\u2019re the best educational institution in the multiverse.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI\u2019d take up her offer!\u201d called Deadpool. He then turned to Death. \u201cSee you soon, my bony bride!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cRight, you, home, now!\u201d snapped Death as she tossed him into the portal. She then breathed to calm down. \u201cWell?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNo crushing student debt?\u201d asked Richard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNo crushing student debt,\u201d confirmed War.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI don\u2019t know about you guys,\u201d called Emily, \u201cbut I wanna go there!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cCan we?\u201d I asked our parents. \u201cPlease?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI don\u2019t see why not,\u201d said Okaa-san. That seemed to be the general consensus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYou\u2019ve made an excellent choice!\u201d cheered Scorpainia. \u201cAs a graduate of that school, I can safely say, their education is invaluable to rulers. May success bless your future!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cMay success bless yours,\u201d I replied. Scorpainia, Discornia, Sludgiona, and Turretorg then went through the portal, returning to Tarlax.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe\u2019ll send you your acceptance letters within a week,\u201d whispered Death. \u201cSee you at After Academy.\u201d She, her fellow Five Horsemen, and their respective heralds then leapt through the portal. We turned to Batman and his allies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe need to go,\u201d rasped Batman. \u201cLord Vortech really did a number on our home. We\u2019re leaving this in your hands.\u201d The DC heroes then left. Wyldstyle turned to us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYou guys made some incredible builds,\u201d she complimented. \u201cI can\u2019t wait to see what you can come up with in my home. See you later, alligator!\u201d She then took her fellow Master Builders home. Gandalf then turned to us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThree hundred lives of Men have I walked this earth,\u201d he told us. \u201cNow, we must return home. Goodbye, Vortex Riders. Until our next meeting.\u201d He took the Fellowship back to their home universe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cMinna-san,\u201d said Hongo, \u201cit\u2019s been an honor to see the birth of new Kamen Riders. Just remember, evil never rests.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe\u2019ll be ready for it!\u201d I promised Hongo. \u201cSayonara, Kamen Rider!\u201d Hongo then took his fellow Riders back home. X-PO then turned to us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cJust so you know,\u201d he said to us, \u201cwhen you guys leave, I\u2019m gonna be scrambling Vorton\u2019s coordinates. I DON\u2019T want a repeat of what happened before we beat Vortech.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cJust keep us informed of the new coordinates,\u201d I requested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWouldn\u2019t dream of keeping you in the dark,\u201d promised X-PO. I turned to my friends and family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cMinna,\u201d I announced, \u201cI don\u2019t know about you, but home sounds really nice right now. Let\u2019s go home.\u201d We entered the portal and flew through the rift until we arrived back in our home, Castle Nerd Skull. According to our phones, we arrived a few seconds after we left for this whole adventure, so the pizza was still warm and fresh. We all had a slice until our phones buzzed. According to whatever news stations we follow, reports of strange blue portals opening in the sky have caused citizens to be concerned, especially when villains from our fiction have arrived with people in strange, black outfits with a skeletal motif. The attackers turned out to be Shocker Rift Combatmen. I then looked at everyone. \u201cLike Hongo-san said,\u201d I muttered, \u201cevil never rests.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNow\u2019s a good time to test out the new Vortex Drivers,\u201d suggested Livia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cTrue,\u201d I mused. We then equipped our new belts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cVortex Driver!\u201d they announced. We then held out our i.d tags and struck our poses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We returned safely to the Kamen Rider universe and looked around. \u201cArakawa Nature Park,\u201d I mused. \u201cWhere it all started.\u201d Just then, I heard someone say something, sounding almost like \u201cHenshin!\u201d I guessed who it was. \u201cMegumi, you are a powerful girl,\u201d I said. At that moment, people started screaming! We whirled around to see Shocker Rift attacking. We Riders looked at each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWell, it\u2019s as you said, evil never rests,\u201d mused Sento. We then struck our poses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cRider…\u201d I began, \u201c…HENSHIN!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Semaru Shocker, Jigoku no gundan (Approaching Shocker, the infernal army.)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Warera wo nerau kuroi kage (We are targeted by the black shadow,)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Sekai no heiwa wo mamoru tame (We shall protect the peace of the world.)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Go!
