The Doctor managed to figure out how they knew it was Jak. \u201cIt turns out,\u201d she said, \u201cthat during their time in stasis, their minds were flooded with data linked through all the Precursor Robots. It fed them all the information about the Metal Head Wars, the attack from the Dark Makers, and the Eco shortage, and they couldn\u2019t do anything about it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cTo be stuck in the same position for 300 years, knowing that the world is going on without you,\u201d muttered Layla, \u201cthat\u2019s just\u2026maddening!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cKids, you were very brave to go on this adventure with us,\u201d said Jak. \u201c\u2026Though, I have to admit, that was more death than you should have been exposed to.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cUnfortunately, the Daleks are like that,\u201d sighed Death. \u201cThey always bring out the worst in us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c\u2026Guys,\u201d said Layla, \u201ccan I\u2026have my fur back?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAllow me, little one,\u201d said Drebber. He raised his staff and dark energy was seeping out of Layla. After a minute, she changed and shrunk into an Ottsel like Daxter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI\u2019M FUZZY AGAIN!\u201d she cheered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNow, Layla,\u201d said Daxter. \u201cStep 1: listen to your dad this time. Step 2: \u2026NEVER THINK ABOUT DOING SOMETHING LIKE THAT AGAIN!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThat goes for you too, Markus!\u201d said Jak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOkay! Okay! We won\u2019t go to places that are forbidden!\u201d replied Markus. He then spotted Megatron looking at the wall behind the elevator. \u201c\u2026Mr. Megatron, sir?\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI just remembered something,\u201d replied Megatron. \u201cJak, Daxter, a rift gate was right there, yes?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c\u2026Yeah?\u201d asked Jak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c\u2026Perhaps there\u2019s another one that could use 100 power cells,\u201d mused Megatron.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNO!\u201d shouted Jak and Daxter together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI am NOT going through all that again!\u201d snarled Jak. \u201cMetal Heads were coming out of both ends of the rift gate!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBOTH ENDS!\u201d agreed Daxter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe Forbidden Jungle\u2019s still got Metal Head remnants harassing the Lurkers there!\u201d shuddered Markus. \u201cDad showed me last year!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c\u2026Well, I guess that\u2019s that,\u201d remarked Galvatron.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cDeath, see if Health\u2019s ready to go,\u201d said Farmee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNo need for that,\u201d called Health as she arrived with her Source in her hands. \u201cI\u2019m all set!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThen this is goodbye,\u201d Farmee said to Jak, Daxter, and their friends and family. \u201cEveryone, it was a pleasure seeing your world. I hope we can meet again under better circumstances.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cJust a moment!\u201d called a Haven Guard. He stormed up to Farmee. \u201cTop secret military project, huh?!\u201d he snarled. Farmee blinked. His eyes then widened in recognition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOh! Y-You\u2019re the\u2026the Port Authority Commander!\u201d he gulped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYeah! Make a moncaw out of me, huh?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cCommander, stand down!\u201d snapped Torn. \u201cDid you bring that box?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYes, Sir! Box is currently right behind us!\u201d gulped the commander as he pointed at the TARDIS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThere she is!\u201d said the Doctor. She then seemed to consider something. \u201c\u2026Eh, why not?\u201d she said. She opened the TARDIS doors and looked to Jak and Daxter. \u201cWant a peek?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt\u2019s a blue box,\u201d remarked Jak as he and Daxter headed inside. \u201cWhat\u2019s so\u2026?\u201d Jak blinked when he saw what was inside the TARDIS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c\u2026Did I get hit on the head?!\u201d asked Daxter. Jak stepped outside and circled the TARDIS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c\u2026H\u2026How-?! It\u2019s\u2026bigger on the inside?!\u201d yelped Jak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIs it?\u201d asked Farmee with a wry grin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI had no idea!\u201d chuckled the Doctor. Health took a look inside and gasped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c\u2026Is this a Type 40?!\u201d she asked. \u201cTell me it\u2019s a Type 40!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cGood eye!\u201d praised the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNow THAT\u2019S a TARDIS type with proper character!\u201d said Health. \u201cAnd more user-friendly than those Type 70\u2019s or Type 190\u2019s or Type Infinity\u2019s or whatever the Time Lords cooked up! Bells and whistles are nothing without proper character!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cExactly what I always say!\u201d agreed the Doctor. \u201cAll right, everyone! Back home we go!\u201d As the more human-sized people entered the TARDIS, Galvatron called Beyond City.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cGalvatron to Command,\u201d he said, \u201crift for three Transformers.\u201d The TARDIS then dematerialized as the rift opened. Galvatron, Megatron, and Hot Rod then jumped through the rift.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Deep within the bowels of the <em>Imperium<\/em>, Khan met with Intrag, Metaltron, and the Supreme Dalek. \u201cA massacre, that\u2019s all it was!\u201d Metaltron snapped at Intrag. \u201cOnly one survivor and the rest are either normal or warped corpses!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYour Daleks brought no victory!\u201d roared Intrag. \u201cThey were too scared to sacrifice their so-called genetic purity for a greater cause!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThere is no greater cause than maintaining the purity of the Daleks!\u201d barked the Supreme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe fault lies with the guy that assigned you that mission,\u201d grunted Khan. Everyone looked at him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c\u2026That was you, my lord,\u201d remarked Metaltron.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cLike I said, the fault lies with me,\u201d said Khan. \u201cSending Daleks, tampering with Dark Eco, I must have been desperate! \u2026Metaltron, do you have any Combatmen skilled in Ninjutsu?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAs a matter of fact, yes,\u201d replied Metaltron. \u201c\u2026And if I may say, my lord, you should have assigned Benny and Captain Don Shinobi to Universe T-M-N-T.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWell, let\u2019s hope that I didn\u2019t mess up so badly on that front. \u2026And that woman, Dalek Supreme, are you sure she introduced herself as THE Doctor?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cCorrect!\u201d confirmed the Dalek Supreme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI think we need to confirm that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMy Time Controller is outside the room,\u201d said Metaltron.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBring him in,\u201d ordered Khan. \u201cSupreme, feed the information to him when he gets in here.\u201d The door opened and a Dalek with a longer neck and rings intersecting one another entered the room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cTime Controller receiving,\u201d it said. The tone was\u2026humanish, for lack of a better word. That unnerved Khan for reasons he never disclosed. The Time Controller then projected images from its eyestalk. It started with the Doctor as she looked now, then reverted to a short, Asian woman, then a portly, black woman, then a freakishly tall blonde man\u2026then a blonde woman in a grey coat with a rainbow across the chest of her shirt, then an fierce looking old man with attack eyebrows, then a man with delicate eyebrows and a bow tie, then a skinny man with a long, brown coat, then a man with huge ears. Metaltron backed up when she saw that man. She KNEW that man! The Time Controller then switched the images off. \u201cIdentity confirmed,\u201d it said. \u201cThat woman is our greatest enemy! The Time Lord! The Doctor!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSHE MUST BE EXTERMINATED!\u201d shouted the Supreme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNO!\u201d countered Metaltron.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNo?!\u201d argued Intrag. \u201cIf this woman IS this Doctor you Daleks have a particular hatred for, then she must die!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThere are spatio-temporal imperatives we must obey,\u201d said the Time Controller. \u201cAny deviation would mean the failure of our mission.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBut the Doctor-!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHer presence in that universe,\u201d the Time Controller interrupted, \u201cwas not foreseen. We do not know what her purpose is among our enemies. We cannot risk destabilizing events at this stage of the conflict! Our imperatives are to claim the Sources and the 3V2R prizes belonging to Megumi Hishikawa, Optimus Prime, and Arsha Royana!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBut the Doctor will attempt to impede our progress!\u201d argues the Dalek Supreme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe Doctor is resourceful,\u201d mused Khan. \u201cWe must use that resourcefulness. For now, Metaltron is right. She must be kept alive.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c\u2026Very well,\u201d said Intrag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIn the meantime, Intrag, I need you and your forces to begin searching the Mushroom Kingdom for the Source of Pestilence.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAt once, Author.\u201d Intrag bowed and he, Metaltron, and the two Daleks left. Metaltron\u2026had a smirk on her face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAll according to plan,\u201d she muttered to herself.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gol and Maia were taken to prison for their crimes.
