The more mortal of each side were being careful with their lives, though. Vortex: Trinity Soul then looked back as Optimus took over. \u201cHEY! SOLARA!\u201d he called. \u201cOPEN MY TRAILER!\u201d Solara, dodging weapons fire and squishing a few Daleks, made her way to the trailer and opened it. Inside it was a sword, a shield, and a gun. Specifically, they were the Star Saber, the Skyboom Shield, and the Requiem Blaster!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOoh! My Forge Day came early!\u201d she said. \u201cFirestorm! Galvatron! Come over here!\u201d Firestorm and Galvatron made their way to her position and goggled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s even installed the Matrix Connectors in them!\u201d revealed Galvatron. \u201cLook!\u201d Inside each slot in the weapons was an emblem of the Matrix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWell, what are we waiting for?!\u201d asked Firestorm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSolara!\u201d called the Doctor as she made her way to the trailer. \u201cSolara, the main power chamber is downstairs, but it needs a tremendous amount of energy to disrupt it in a fashion that only fires creation energy instead of both it AND destructive energy!\u201d Solara looked at the battle. Right now Vortex: Trinity Soul was still engaged with Weaver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c\u2026Our parents are busy,\u201d she said. She then saw Geltar, Farmee, and Yufantel fighting alongside Spark. \u201c\u2026But us new kids on the block\u2026yeah, that might work!\u201d Solara then radioed her allies. \u201cGuys, I know everyone is busy, but us new kids on the block have the means to stop Khan\u2019s plan!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe do?\u201d asked Spark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s thanks to Uncle Optimus bringing the most powerful magic weapons in my universe here,\u201d explained Solara. \u201cMoms and Dads, keep our enemies off our backs. You gave us the opening to secure our futures, it\u2019s time we took it!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cCome back alive, sweetie!\u201d replied Arcee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe all will.\u201d Solara ended the call and took the Skyboom Shield while Firestorm took the Requiem Blaster and Galvatron took the Star Saber.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe Doctor said it was below us, right?\u201d asked Firestorm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s what I remember her saying,\u201d confirmed Solara.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s all I need to know!\u201d Firestorm pointed the Requiem Blaster at the floor and fired! It created a hole big enough for the new kids to follow through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK, WITH ME!\u201d called Solara. She, Firestorm, Galvatron, Sky Runner, Shade Robotnik, Silver, Daniel, Sandy, Spark, Kamen Rider Shade, Architect, Barbara, Brittney, Dinara, Emma, Fitri, Fordelam, Gabriella, Jason, Katrina, Leemii, Devil, Sora, Sweemar, Tom, Willmef, Farmee, Geltar, Glanthel, Hejema, Torya, and Yufantel all jumped down the hole and encountered Daleks, Lords, and Combatmen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cINTRUDERS DETECTED!\u201d shouted the Dalek Supreme. \u201cEXTERMINATE THEM! CRUSH ALL RESISTANCE!\u201d The Source emblems on Spark\u2019s armor then glowed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c\u2026I\u2019d hate to waste a Rider Kick like this, but\u2026\u201d she then pressed the central crystal in her belt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cEngage!\u201d called the belt. She leapt into the air, dodging laser fire, then aimed her right leg at the Dalek Supreme\u2019s dome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cRIDER PRIMAL SPARK KICK!\u201d she shouted as she sailed through the air, foot first. She tore through the dome, leaving a mess on top of the neck section. The Dalek Supreme became frantic!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cVISION IMPARED! I CANNOT SEE! ASSIST! ASSIST!\u201d it shrieked. But the energy of the kick\u2019s impact fried its minions. Farmee then tore the gunstick out of its socket. The Dalek Supreme was forced to open its casing. Everyone got a better look at their surroundings. In the center of the room was a massive metal sphere with locks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cRight, that\u2019s the core of this whole operation,\u201d said Solara. \u201cWe need to expose the contents inside to a massive amount of energy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cLeave that to us!\u201d called Geltar. She and her siblings then tore the sphere open to reveal the Sources creating an energy sphere within their orbits. The energy sphere surrounded the Tome as the Mirror of Reality was set onto the cover with the Time Amethyst in the center of the Mirror with the Master Wand acting as a clock hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c\u2026Right then,\u201d sighed Solara. \u201cFirestorm, Galvatron, let\u2019s form the Hydra Cannon.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSolara,\u201d said Firestorm as she extended the Requiem Blaster, \u201cthe Hydra Cannon\u2019s a powerful weapon, but even with the Matrix inserted into it, there\u2019s no way we can get the necessary energy the Doctor said we needed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSee, the thing is,\u201d replied Solara as she split the Skyboom Shield and folded it over the extended Requiem Blaster, \u201cI\u2019m not just using the Matrix as a power source.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPrime?\u201d asked Galvatron as he set the Star Saber on top of the combined weapon. Solara then opened her chest and retrieved the Matrix. She pulled it open and set it into the Star Saber\u2019s hilt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAll right, everyone,\u201d she called as she unfolded the tripod legs and aimed the cannon at the energy sphere. \u201cForm two lines behind me, grabbing the shoulder of the person in front of you. Transformers first, then the non-Transformer behind them can just touch their leg.\u201d Everyone arched an eyebrow. \u201c\u2026Just do it! I\u2019m taking a page out of Optimus\u2019 book!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhich page, exactly?\u201d asked Yufantel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c\u2026OH!\u201d realized Sky Runner. \u201cDaddy did this with his magic gun against Dark Super Shockwave!\u201d Everyone lined up as Solara said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe Hydra Cannon is the most powerful magic weapon in my home universe,\u201d explained Solara. \u201cI\u2019m gonna need the strength of everyone here to pull this off.\u201d As she put her hands on the handle and put her finger on the trigger, she drew energy from everyone, adding their strength and power to the cannon. \u201cWe\u2019re all in this together.\u201d A visor then slid over Galvatron\u2019s optics and gave him an energy reading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s it!\u201d he called. \u201cThat\u2019s the energy threshold!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHydra cannon\u2026FIRE!\u201d called Solara. She pulled the trigger and fired a huge stream of energy at the energy sphere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>The same instant Solara pulled the trigger, Vortex: Trinity Soul leapt into the air and pressed the button on the Transcendant. \u201cTriple Final Attack!\u201d it announced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cRIDER TRINITY KICK!\u201d she called. She sailed through the air and struck Weaver in his belt, destroying it. He was forced out of the transformation during the resulting explosion the Rider Kick caused and his form as Khan now looked like a more grotesque hybridization of human and Dalek. His hair was replaced with tentacles and\u2026he had flesh growing over his mouth and left eye, making them almost vestigial. That was when the ground rumbled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDANGER! DANGER!\u201d warned a Dalek. \u201cDESTRUCTIVE ENERGY COUNTERED! CREATION ENERGY ABOUT TO BE UNLEASHED!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cN-No!\u201d begged Khan. \u201cYou\u2026cannot-!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe just did,\u201d replied Megumi as she took over. \u201cKhan, you\u2019re finished.\u201d Arsha then took over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHiro, Dr. Borg, if you two would\u2026where did they-?!\u201d Hiro, Dr. Borg, and their friends and family were nowhere to be seen. Optimus took over as he face-palmed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBecause, of COURSE, they valued their skin more!\u201d he grumbled. The kids then got out of the hole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cGuys, we got like a minute to get out of here!\u201d warned Solara.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ll take care of evacuation!\u201d called Anansi. He then wove webs that opened rifts for all sizes. \u201cThey\u2019re all pointed at Beyond City like we planned! Let\u2019s go, people!\u201d The heroes wasted no time in taking up Anansi\u2019s offer and ran for the rifts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cA-Anansi!\u201d begged Khan. \u201cHave\u2026pity\u2026on me!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c\u2026I have pity FOR you,\u201d replied Anansi. \u201cGoodbye, Khan. It hasn\u2019t been pleasant.\u201d Anansi was the last to evacuate as the fortress crumbled around Khan. The floor gave way and he was dumped into the Sea of Reality to become nothing more than a thought.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The fight raged on, cries of \u201cEXTERMINATE\u201d and swords clashing and guns firing filled the air with neither side backing down.
