Given that we were in an area where cartoons and people worked together, I felt no reason to hide. Alesandro looked around, a little on edge. \u201cAlesandro, relax,\u201d I urged. \u201cWe\u2019re safe right now.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt\u2019s not us I\u2019m worried about, Michael,\u201d replied Alesandro. \u201cIt\u2019s Shocker Rift. What if they recruited the villains from here?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThen we kick their asses,\u201d grunted War. \u201cI don\u2019t see an issue here.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWith respect, it\u2019s more than that,\u201d replied Charline. \u201cWhat if the villains find your Source?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNow THAT is a reasonable concern,\u201d I conceded. \u201cKit-10, scan the area. See if you can find the Source.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI\u2019ve been doing that since we got here,\u201d reported Kit-10. \u201cHaven\u2019t been able to find it yet.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThen how do we get to it?\u201d asked Hiroki.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe need to get to a place with sensors Kit-10 can hook up to,\u201d figured Irina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSo where shall we find this place?\u201d asked Gandalf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe best way to do that,\u201d Discornia declared, \u201cis to ask a policeman.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cA guardsman,\u201d I translated for Gandalf. We found a policeman. \u201cExcuse me, Officer,\u201d I called. \u201cWhere could one go to find advanced technology?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAll the weird stuff\u2019s at the castle right now,\u201d replied the officer as he pointed with both fingers. Just then, an explosion occurred at the castle and someone flew out carrying something.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cKit-10, did you get a good look at the flying thing?!\u201d I quizzed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWell, the person himself, yes, but not the object he was carrying off,\u201d replied Kit-10. \u201cThe person goes under the alias \u2018Green Goblin\u2019, real name: Norman Osborn.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhy would the Goblin attack Disney Castle?\u201d pondered Hiroki.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHold on, we may get answers,\u201d called Kit-10. \u201cIt looks like Spider-Man is swinging into action. He just knocked the Goblin off his glider and managed to get him into a dumpster. The Goblin\u2019s dropped whatever he was carrying off and&#8230;it\u2019s just vanished in midair.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cTeleport?\u201d I asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe flash surrounding it sure made me think so,\u201d confirmed Kit-10.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMaybe we should talk to Spider-Man and the Goblin,\u201d suggested Charline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cGood idea,\u201d I agreed. \u201cLet\u2019s go!\u201d We headed off to the ally the Goblin landed in to see that he was already out of the dumpster and webbed to a wall while Spider-Man was questioning him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSo, again,\u201d muttered Spider-Man in a disbelieving tone, \u201cMrs. Doom kidnapped you, then her husband strapped you to your glider, programmed it to attack Disney Castle, programmed your suit to grab X, then you were compelled to fly back to Latveria with X.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWell, it doesn\u2019t sound believable when you say it like THAT!\u201d hissed the Green Goblin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOne glaring flaw in your alibi makes it unbelievable,\u201d replied Spider-Man, \u201cyou\u2019re wearing your old suit! The gloves and boots don\u2019t exactly have computers! How could they grab anything against your will?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cExcuse me, are we interrupting?\u201d I called as we approached.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cJust a fat lie,\u201d replied Spider-Man. Iron Man then flew towards us with Mickey Mouse on his back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAnything?\u201d asked Mickey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThat depends,\u201d replied Spider-Man. \u201cIf a lie is something, then yeah.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cGood thing you installed that retrieval teleporter on X,\u201d praised Iron Man.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThanks, Dad!\u201d bid Spider-Man. We then ALL looked at Spider-Man in stark confusion. \u201c&#8230;Why is everyone staring at me?\u201d asked Spider-Man.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou just called Iron Man \u2018Dad\u2019,\u201d replied Irina. \u201cYou said \u2018Thanks, Dad\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhat? No, I didn\u2019t!\u201d denied Spider-Man.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSpider-Man, do you see me as a father figure?\u201d asked Iron Man.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNo, if anything,\u201d answered Spider-Man, \u201cI see you as a bother figure because you\u2019re always bothering me!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBoy!\u201d snapped Gandalf. \u201cShow your father more respect!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI didn\u2019t call him \u2018Dad\u2019!\u201d insisted Spider-Man.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNo, Spidey, it\u2019s okay,\u201d replied Iron Man. \u201cI take it as a compliment.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt\u2019s all right,\u201d supplied Kit-10. \u201cI once called Pup-X5 \u2018Dad\u2019 once, and we\u2019re about to tie the knot.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cGuys, jump on that!\u201d urged Spider-Man. \u201cA robot with psycho-sexual issues!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cCounselling dealt with that problem quickly,\u201d Hiroki replied, \u201cbut you calling Iron Man \u2018Daddy\u2019&#8230;\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHey, \u2018Daddy\u2019 is NOT on the table here!\u201d hissed Spider-Man.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBut, you DID call him \u2018Dad\u2019, Spider-man,\u201d continued the Green Goblin, making us remember him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou, shut up!\u201d snapped Spider-Man. \u201cYou\u2019ve done nothing but lie since I webbed you up!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAll right, all right, I WAS lying about Doctor Doom and his wife forcing me to take X,\u201d admitted the Goblin. \u201cThey offered me dibs on studying it for our alliance. The \u2018Dad\u2019 thing, however? That happened.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAHA!\u201d cheered Spider-Man. \u201cHe admitted his alibi was a lie! It was a trap! All part of my master plan!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cGood work,\u201d praised Iron Man, \u201cson.\u201d Spider-Man just sighed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThat\u2019s not gonna go away any time soon,\u201d he muttered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSo, what IS X?\u201d I inquired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou wanna see?\u201d offered Mickey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIf it\u2019s not too inconvenient,\u201d I replied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe COULD use a fresh perspective,\u201d mused Mickey. \u201cCome with us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI\u2019ll take Gobby to jail,\u201d declared Iron Man as he slung the Green Goblin\u2019s cocoon over his shoulder and took off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI guess&#8230;I\u2019ll just go back on patrol,\u201d sighed Spider-Man. Just then, his phone rang. He looked at the number. \u201cOh no, Aunt May! I\u2019m late!\u201d he yelped. He pulled his mask up as far as his mouth and started talking to his Aunt while swinging on the rooftops. \u201cHi, Aunt May!\u201d he began. \u201cSorry! I got into a scrape with the Green Goblin&#8230;\u201d His voice finally faded away as he swung home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cFollow me, please,\u201d directed Mickey as he led us to the castle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cEr, hello?\u201d called War. \u201cMy Source?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe sensors at the castle should help me find it,\u201d replied Kit-10. \u201cIn the meantime, the Castle awaits. Spit-spot!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c&#8230;Did&#8230;you just quote&nbsp;<em>Mary Poppins<\/em>&nbsp;at me?\u201d quizzed a confused War as she followed us. We were granted access to the castle and escorted to the main science bay where Dr. Banner was working with Professor Ludwig Von Drake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cProfessor&#8230;\u201d began Mickey before he was interrupted by a an explosion that knocked Dr. Banner backwards and made him turn into the Hulk. The Hulk then hit a wall and massaged his head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c&#8230;Ow,\u201d he grunted. Professor Von Drake turned to us, smoking from being so near the explosion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMay I help you with something?\u201d he asked weakly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThese people are here to see X and use our sensors to find some source,\u201d explained Mickey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe \u2018S\u2019 is capital,\u201d grunted War, \u201clike&nbsp;<em>Discworld<\/em>\u2019s Assassins.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cVery well,\u201d declared Professor Von Drake. \u201cDr. Banner, could you show the one needing the sensors to the necessary workstation?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cFine,\u201d grunted the Hulk. Kit-10 followed the Hulk out of the room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cEveryone else, follow me, please,\u201d directed Professor Von Drake. He led us to a room that had a door on the other end and a workstation with a monitor near the door. \u201cNow, to see if the cameras work,\u201d muttered Professor Von Drake. He fiddled with the monitor before groaning in frustration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMind if I take a peek?\u201d offered Irina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWear these,\u201d directed Mickey as he tossed her a pair of heavy gloves. \u201cThe last person who touched it with his bare hands turned into ashes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cGot it,\u201d replied Irina as she put the gloves on. The door opened to allow her access to X\u2019s chamber. Once it shut, Professor Von Drake managed to switch the audio on. \u201cPrivet,\u201d (Hello) greeted Irina. \u201cMenya zovut Irina. Kak vas zovut?\u201d (My name is Irina. What\u2019s your name?)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cEx,\u201d was the reply. The tone&#8230;sounded hauntingly familiar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c&#8230;Lights,\u201d requested Irina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhat?\u201d asked Professor Von Drake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cLights!\u201d repeated Irina. Professor Von Drake then keyed in a command.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe lights SHOULD be on,\u201d reported the Professor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThey are,\u201d replied Irina, \u201cbut now I wish they weren\u2019t. It\u2019s a Dalek. Shocker Rift casing, Drone Class if the color scheme is anything to go by.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNot what I wanted to hear,\u201d I groaned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cGood news, the Dalek is damaged,\u201d continued Irina. \u201cBetter news, it\u2019s unarmed. A perfect opportunity to destroy it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhat?! NO!\u201d protested Professor Von Drake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cProfessor, with all due respect,\u201d countered Gandalf, \u201cthat is not your decision to make.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cProceed with the Dalek\u2019s destruction,\u201d I directed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSpasibo,\u201d (Thank you) bid Irina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cVortex Driver!\u201d announced her belt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHenshin!\u201d called Irina. The machinery of the wardrobe could be heard as it attached her armor to her. Professor Von Drake quickly opened the door to try and stop her but she was already in her Rider persona, Kamen Rider Climb. Professor Von Drake and Mickey tried to hold her back as I tried to get them out of the way. During our struggle, however, we all failed to notice a particle of light from Climb\u2019s wardrobe land on the Dalek. It enveloped the killer and reactivated a few systems. We all stopped struggling when we heard it gurgle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cRift&#8230;particle&#8230;extrapolated,\u201d it croaked. \u201cBeginning&#8230;casing&#8230;regeneration!\u201d It then started moving!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cEVERYONE OUT!\u201d I shouted. We all managed to get out and seal the room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhy are you so panicked?\u201d asked Professor Von Drake. \u201cThe lock has 387,420,489 possible combinations. It can\u2019t get out.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThat may be a drone Dalek, but it\u2019s still a genius,\u201d I argued. \u201cIt can calculate a trillion combinations in ten seconds flat!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt\u2019s over ten seconds right now,\u201d observed War.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c&#8230;You\u2019re right, it should be attacking us by now,\u201d I realized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt\u2019s unarmed, remember?\u201d reminded Climb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThat plunger can crush a man\u2019s skull!\u201d I replied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cA slow death, too slow for a Dalek,\u201d countered Climb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhy do you talk about that \u2018Dalek\u2019 as if it is a bad guy?!\u201d snapped Professor Von Drake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSince they aren\u2019t native to your universe and since I\u2019m the expert on their native universe, I\u2019ll explain,\u201d I began. \u201cThe Daleks are an alien race originally a humanoid race called the Kaleds. The Kaleds were at war with the Thals, embroiled in a nuclear war over control of their mutual home planet of Skaro. To try and break the thousand year deadlock, the Kaled Chief Scientist, Davros, accelerated the mutations of his species into their \u2018Ultimate\u2019 state. What he created, he placed in a metal war machine. Cue the Dalek Empire, spanning across time and space in more ways than one. Because of their liberal use of time travel, the Dalek Empire threatens to collapse under the weight of its own paradoxes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c&#8230;You mean&#8230;\u201d gulped Mickey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThat thing has something alive inside,\u201d confirmed Alesandro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe have had one too many dealings with the Daleks,\u201d muttered Gandalf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWell, it\u2019s unarmed, as you say,\u201d mused Professor Von Drake. \u201cPerhaps we can reason with it?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cReason with it?\u201d repeated Hiroki. \u201cProfessor, you DON\u2019T reason with a Dalek. They can\u2019t be reasoned with.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNonsense,\u201d dismissed the Professor. \u2018Everything wants something!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWho is one of your more brilliant colleagues?\u201d I asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cShuri of Wakanda,\u201d answered the Professor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAnd Wakanda\u2019s population is?\u201d quizzed War.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c6,000,000,\u201d replied the Professor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAll dead,\u201d declared Charline. \u201cIf the Dalek gets out, it will kill every Wakandan. Man, woman, child, it makes little difference to the Dalek.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhy would it WANT to kill innocent people?!\u201d snapped the Professor, still not believing us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBecause we\u2019re genetically inferior,\u201d explained Discornia. \u201cThe Daleks hold the belief that they are the purest life-forms in existence. Any other life-form is an abomination that must be, as they so eloquently put it, exterminated. It\u2019s the ultimate racial cleanser and now it\u2019s loose!\u201d The door then hissed as it opened to reveal the Dalek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWeapons!\u201d I called as those of us who didn\u2019t transform into our Rider personas readied our belts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cParlay!\u201d barked the Dalek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c&#8230;Pardon?\u201d I quizzed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI invoke the right of Parlay!\u201d replied the Dalek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c&#8230;ARE YOU KIDDING?!\u201d I shouted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cLike you would know what Parlay means!\u201d taunted Alesandro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI do!\u201d barked the Dalek. \u201cNeither side has a clear advantage!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou don\u2019t have a gunstick, we have weapons to pierce your hide,\u201d I argued. \u201cI\u2019d say WE have the advantage!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMy shielding is online!\u201d replied the Dalek. \u201cI can cancel out any attacks, be they melee or ranged! When you tire, my shield will be down. Once you regain your strength and resume the assault, my shield will be restored and the cycle begins again!\u201d I then sighed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cStalemate, then,\u201d I muttered. \u201cAll right, we\u2019ll hear you out.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMichael!\u201d snapped Irina, remembering when she was put into a coma on Skaro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI don\u2019t like it any more than you do,\u201d I replied. I then turned to the Dalek. \u201cProceed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou are looking for War\u2019s Source and the Tarlaxian Scout ship!\u201d began the Dalek. A statement rather than a question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cCorrect,\u201d I answered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBoth are believed to have been taken to the Eastern-European country of Latveria!\u201d reported the Dalek. \u201cDoctor Doom and his wife, Maleficent, intend to dissect the Tarlaxians within 103,984.8 rels!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c&#8230;How long is a rel?\u201d asked the Professor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThree Earth seconds!\u201d answered the Dalek. Professor Von Drake then started calculating, first multiplying 103,984.8 by three, then dividing that answer by sixty, then dividing by sixty again to get 86.654 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThese \u2018Tarlaxians\u2019,\u201d he reported, \u201chave three days, fourteen hours, 39 minutes, and fourteen seconds before they\u2019re taken apart!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cLatveria is also in possession of my weapon!\u201d barked the Dalek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSo, we go talk to Doctor Doom,\u201d I guessed, \u201cand convince him not to dissect the Tarlaxians while you grab your gunstick and then we\u2019ll fight over the Source?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cCorrect!\u201d replied the Dalek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c&#8230;Done,\u201d I answered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNot done!\u201d barked War.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cDone,\u201d countered Irina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe Daleks put you into a coma!\u201d snapped War.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt was Davros who put me into a coma,\u201d argued Irina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBecause that makes it SO much better!\u201d growled War.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe need the Source,\u201d I countered. \u201cDalek, we agree to your terms.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cVery well!\u201d barked the Dalek. \u201cWe will proceed immediately! Immediately!\u201d I called up Kit-10.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cKit-10, there\u2019s a change of plans,\u201d I began. \u201cMeet us in the hangar. We\u2019re taking X to Latveria. Keep your stun blaster trained on it as X is a Dalek Drone.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c&#8230;And why, pray tell, are we taking a Dalek to Latveria?\u201d quizzed Kit-10.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIts weapon, the Source, and the Tarlaxian Scout ship are located there,\u201d I explained. \u201cWe have a truce until the Dalek is rearmed, then we proceed to fight over the Source.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cA rather shaky truce,\u201d muttered Kit-10. \u201cOn my way.\u201d She ended the call.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe hangar\u2019s this way,\u201d directed Mickey. He led us all through the castle to the hangar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhile we\u2019re walking, I have a question,\u201d called Alesandro. \u201cDid Maleficent REALLY marry Doctor Doom?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cShe did,\u201d replied Mickey. \u201cI wasn\u2019t invited. Then again, it was a villains-only wedding. Iago DID get me footage of the&#8230;\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSILENCE!\u201d barked the Dalek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou\u2019re not in a position to give orders!\u201d I snapped as I advanced on the Dalek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cKEEP AWAY!\u201d yelped the Dalek as it reversed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI knew it,\u201d I hissed, \u201cyou\u2019re scared without your precious gunstick.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cCan we please?!\u201d snapped Mickey. \u201cWe\u2019re here.\u201d We had entered the hangar, united with Kit-10,&nbsp; and boarded an aircraft with Mickey\u2019s usual symbol on it. We boarded the vessel and sat down in various seats while Mickey took the pilot\u2019s seat and Professor Von Drake took the Copilot\u2019s seat. The Dalek just stood there, twitching all the while. \u201cCould somebody strap X in?\u201d called Mickey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThat is not required!\u201d barked the Dalek. \u201cI will remain on the floor if we encounter turbulence!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHow do you know?!\u201d I snapped as I fastened safety straps onto Kit-10.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c&#8230;I am Dalek Drone 8872345!\u201d declared the Dalek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou\u2019re a murderous b*****d that feels only hatred,\u201d I hissed as we strapped in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAll flight checks complete,\u201d called Professor Von Drake. \u201cWe\u2019re cleared for departure!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOff we go!\u201d cheered Mickey as he fired up the engines.
