The fleet arrived outside the enemy\u2019s combined sensor range. \u201cThey\u2019re within targeting range,\u201d reported Hiroki.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAll ships, report,\u201d Emily said to the entire fleet. \u201cVirginia<\/em>, standing by.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cArk<\/em>, standing by,\u201d said Jazz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNemesis<\/em>, standing by,\u201d reported Galvatron.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cEnterprise<\/em>, standing by,\u201d replied Sonic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cEndeavor<\/em>, standing by,\u201d said Arsha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cGlanthelantir<\/em>, standing by,\u201d reported Glanthel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDominion<\/em>, standing by,\u201d said Hiro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cScorpion<\/em>, standing by,\u201d reported Dr. Borg. This went on until the entire fleet was ready.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHail the enemy flagship,\u201d said Megumi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cBelay that!\u201d interjected Kaede. \u201cMom, you sure that\u2019s a good idea? We can be stealthier than that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cMaybe, but stealth wasn\u2019t exactly part of the plan, remember?\u201d reminded Megumi. \u201cBesides, I don\u2019t want to. I want that former kill-happy squid to know I\u2019m coming for her! Hail the Relentless<\/em>!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDo as she says,\u201d Emily directed Flora. Flora nodded and began sending a transmission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201c\u2026I wonder what the Daleks will do once the Doctor is gone?\u201d mused Metaltron to herself. Speaking of which, a Dalek approached her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAlert! Alert! Transmission being received! Relentless<\/em> awaits orders concerning it!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cA transmission? Given the panic, I\u2019d say it\u2019s not according to our usual frequencies. \u2026Ah, what the hey? Tell the Relentless<\/em> to open a channel both to the ship and to us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI obey!\u201d The Dalek sent the necessary commands. \u2026That\u2019s when the smug look on Metaltron\u2019s face vanished.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cMetaltron, give it up!\u201d barked Megumi\u2019s voice. \u201cYour fleet will be destroyed, your ground forces will be pushed back, and your plans will be undone! Surrender while you can!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHow did she get here?!\u201d demanded Metaltron. \u201cFind the source of that transmission!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cTriangulating!\u201d replied the Dalek. \u201c\u2026Source located! Starship Virginia<\/em> detected with 300 strong fleet!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWHAT?!\u201d Metaltron could see that, yes, there WERE 300 ships just entering their sensor range! \u201cRoute the call to me!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI obey!\u201d The Dalek routed the call and Metaltron spoke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYou\u2019ve got a lot of nerve, coming here!\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAnd YOU have a lot of nerve thinking I would just accept this!\u201d replied Megumi. \u201cYou WILL fail one way or the other!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNo, what will happen is you will be erased like the vermin you are! You\u2019re on MY time, you skunk!\u201d Metaltron ended the call and contacted the Rift Controller. \u201cMegumi brought a fleet here! Begin the reset!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI cannot begin now!\u201d replied the Rift Controller. \u201cI still need thirty minutes to warm things up!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYou don\u2019t HAVE thirty minutes! Begin!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI cannot change the laws of physics! I\u2019ve got to have thirty minutes!\u201d Metaltron growled in annoyance at what the Rift Controller said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201c\u2026Fine, we\u2019ll hold them off as long as we can,\u201d she finally said, \u201cbut you MUST start if and when the enemy breaks through our fleet!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201c\u2026Very well,\u201d replied the Rift Controller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Dominion<\/em> and Virginia<\/em> flew towards the Relentless<\/em>. They began their attack with their standard laser weapons. Aboard the Relentless<\/em>, Metaltron coordinated the action. \u201cStatus of hyperdrive,\u201d she demanded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHyperdrive still operating at peak efficiency!\u201d replied a Combatman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cStatus of weapons.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAll weapons primed!\u201d reported the Dalek on Tactical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cFire standard weapons on the Virginia<\/em>. I want Megumi to fall into the Sea of Ideas and be nothing more than a thought.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cFiring standard weapons!\u201d The Relentless<\/em> fired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Virginia<\/em> rocked. \u201cReport!\u201d called Emily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cShields down by 7%,\u201d replied Hiroki.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cEnemy shields?\u201d asked Emily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cGetting a call,\u201d said Michael. \u201cHiro\u2019s transmitting the prefix code and instructions for the enemy to lower their shields.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAlert! Alert!\u201d warned the Tactical Dalek. \u201cShields failing! Prefix code transmitted from Dominion<\/em>!\u201d Metaltron goggled at the idea that Hiro DID memorize the Relentless<\/em>\u2019 prefix code!<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cRestore shields!\u201d she ordered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cUnable to obey! Shields failed!\u201d The ship then rocked thanks to enemy fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cSEND BAZOOKA JOE OUT THERE!\u201d shouted Metaltron. The Tactical Dalek looked at Metaltron.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe Special Weapons Dalek, you dope!\u201d snapped a Combatman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDeploying Special Weapons Dalek onto topside!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHiro-sama!\u201d called a Combatman aboard the Dominion<\/em>. \u201cThe enemy-!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI have eyes, Harada!\u201d snapped Hiro. \u201cTarget the Special Weapons Dalek. The enemy doesn\u2019t need a 360\u2070 cannon on top.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYes, Hiro-sama!\u201d Harada targeted the Special Weapons Dalek. \u201cTarget locked!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cFIRE!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Special Weapons Dalek was destroyed quickly. \u201cNice work, Hiro,\u201d said Megumi aboard the Virginia<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAs I anticipated,\u201d replied Hiro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHull integrity fallen to 22%!\u201d reported the Tactical Dalek. \u201cHyperdrive failing!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201c\u2026Abandon ship!\u201d ordered Metaltron as she fastened her belt. \u201cAll hands, abandon ship!\u201d She then began her transformation sequence. \u201cHenshin!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n There were flashes of light from the windows of the rapidly falling Relentless<\/em>. \u201cWe have survivors,\u201d Hiro said to Megumi. \u201cI\u2019ll give the order to pursue.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cExtermination is NOT the goal here,\u201d replied Megumi. \u201cJoin with us as we assist with the destruction of the Imperium<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cUnderstood, Metaltron,\u201d said Nemesis Prime on the Hellfire<\/em>. \u201cWe\u2019re going to change our prefix code now.\u201d Nemesis ended the call. \u201cTerrorcons, Hiro and Dr. Borg knew the Relentless<\/em>\u2019 prefix code and helped our enemies learn its weaknesses. We\u2019ve been ordered not to let that happen. Makeshift, erase the old prefix code and put in a new one.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYes, Sir,\u201d replied Makeshift. He got to work on the prefix code\u2026but\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAccess denied,\u201d said the computer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHuh?\u201d Makeshift tried again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAccess denied,\u201d repeated the computer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNemesis, I\u2019m locked out!\u201d called Makeshift.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThat\u2019s not possible,\u201d replied Nemesis. \u201cThat thing must be faulty.\u201d A face then appeared on the screen, a rather cartoony face of\u2026 \u201cDR. BORG?!\u201d yelped Nemesis. He then realized what Dr. Borg did a while ago! \u201cEngage override! Code 10-Tango-Nemesis!\u201d Makeshift tried, then pounded uselessly on the console.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI can\u2019t!\u201d he reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cShields are dropping!\u201d warned Crystal Widow. \u201cThey\u2019re targeting the cannon!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cFIRE!\u201d ordered Nemesis. Crystal Widow moved to fire but\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Scorpion<\/em> fired its stinger as the Ark<\/em> and Nemesis<\/em> fired torpedoes directly into the Hellfire<\/em>\u2019s cannon, bringing heavy damage to the enemy vessel. Dr. Borg arched an eyebrow in approval. She called Galvatron. \u201cThe new Nemesis<\/em> seems to know where to place her shots like the original,\u201d she said. \u201cAnd the skill of her Captain\u2019s as good as the original.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI\u2019m the son of the original Nemesis<\/em>\u2019 Captain,\u201d replied Galvatron. \u201cHad to learn something from him.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYou learned well. Now, if you\u2019ll excuse me, it\u2019s time to show why I named this vessel the Scorpion<\/em>. Scorpo!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOoh, I always loved this bit!\u201d chuckled Scorpo. The ship\u2019s claws then tore into the Hellfire<\/em>, bringing pieces of it into the cargo hold on the bow for scrapping operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cFIRE!\u201d ordered Nemesis Prime as fires sprang up all over the bridge. \u201cFIRE, DAMN YOU!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWE CAN\u2019T!\u201d replied Straxus. \u201cTHERE\u2019S NO POWER TO THE WEAPONS AND OUR WARP DRIVE IS OUT! WE MUST EVACUATE!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNO, DAMMIT! NO!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNEMESIS, LISTEN TO REASON!\u201d argued Crystal Widow as she grabbed his shoulders. \u201cThis ship is totaled! We have to get out of here and assist in shoring up our ground defenses! We still have the Lords to act as a final wave of ships!\u201d Nemesis growled, then sighed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAbandon ship,\u201d he ordered.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The fleet arrived outside the enemy\u2019s combined sensor range. \u201cThey\u2019re within targeting range,\u201d reported Hiroki. \u201cAll ships, report,\u201d Emily said to the entire fleet. \u201cVirginia, standing by.\u201d \u201cArk, standing by,\u201d said Jazz. \u201cNemesis, standing by,\u201d reported Galvatron. \u201cEnterprise, standing by,\u201d replied Sonic. \u201cEndeavor, standing by,\u201d said Arsha. \u201cGlanthelantir, standing by,\u201d reported Glanthel. \u201cDominion, standing by,\u201d […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":5119,"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":[754,880],"tags":[482,9,146,337],"class_list":["post-6766","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-journey-through-wonder","category-story-journey-through-wonder","tag-fantasy","tag-kamen-rider","tag-sonic","tag-transformers"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/samueljvinton.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6766","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=6766"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/samueljvinton.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6766\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6767,"href":"https:\/\/samueljvinton.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6766\/revisions\/6767"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/samueljvinton.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5119"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/samueljvinton.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6766"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/samueljvinton.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6766"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/samueljvinton.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6766"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
