I doubt it\u2019s a social call, there\u2019s too much of a mess going on.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThat mess is exactly why I came here,\u201d said Rex. \u201cI was tracking a Chronal Surge and it brought me here.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cDid the starting time periods share any similarities with these two?\u201d asked the Doctor as she indicated Emu and Obi-wan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c\u2026Well, General Kenobi\u2019s galaxy, yes,\u201d replied Rex, \u201cbut far into its future, long after the Jedi and Sith became mere legends. I\u2019d say it was\u2026around Dr. Hojo Emu\u2019s time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHow about we DON\u2019T mention his rank?\u201d suggested the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt\u2019s all right,\u201d assured Obi-wan. \u201cI can\u2019t expect every Time Lord to understand war like you do, Doctor.\u201d Rex flinched.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIn any event,\u201d he continued, \u201cwe must find this person as I fear they may try and take my TARDIS. My security systems are a little\u2026buggy, as it were.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThat\u2019s no good,\u201d said the Doctor. \u201cLet\u2019s find this person quickly. Where should we start?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI believe the locals called it Landfill Dreamland.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe submarine!\u201d gasped Callie happily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe are NOT driving that sub,\u201d replied Marie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAw! But-!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cCallie, how long did it take you to get your driver\u2019s license again?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHEY!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cEnough!\u201d called the Captain. \u201cRex, was it? You said we should start in Landfill Dreamland? Let\u2019s get to it, then.\u201d The Captain led the way with the Doctor hanging back. Something about Rex seemed\u2026familiar, and not in a good way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The group arrived at Landfill Dreamland. \u201cRight,\u201d said Rex, \u201cwe need to scour this area. Let\u2019s split up, hm?\u201d The group nodded and split up. Obi-wan took this opportunity to speak with the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYour mind is like a violent storm, Doctor,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNo change there,\u201d remarked the Doctor. \u201cBut there\u2019s something\u2026off about Rex. He\u2019s a Time Lord, but I feel like I\u2019ve seen him before, and not in a friendly capacity.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThere IS something dark about him,\u201d said Obi-wan. The two then found something. It looked\u2026like a mirrored pyramid! The Doctor\u2019s eyes goggled. \u201cDoctor?\u201d asked Obi-wan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c\u2026REX!\u201d called the Doctor, her face darkening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYes, Doc-?\u201d Rex appeared next to the Doctor and saw the pyramid the Doctor pointed to. \u201c\u2026Drat it all!\u201d he grumbled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSo, taking the identity of Rex Flood?\u201d asked the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c\u2026Well, given that I have a classically masculine frame,\u201d replied Rex, \u201cI can hardly use the feminine title of \u2018Rani\u2019, can I?\u201d By then, everyone had arrived.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cDoctor?\u201d asked Tysar. \u201cWhat\u2019s wrong?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWell, I found Rex\u2019s TARDIS, for one thing,\u201d replied the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThat pyramid?\u201d asked Sty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNo, you stupid bug, the submarine!\u201d hissed Rex, sarcasm THICK in his voice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou wanna say that again?!\u201d snarled Sty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cRex IS a Time Lord,\u201d said the Doctor, \u201cbut he\u2019s not one like me. He used to be called the Rani, an amoral scientist.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cDoctor, science focuses on whether or not we CAN do something,\u201d replied Rex. \u201cThe question of whether or not we should do it is irrelevant.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou\u2019re proving my point here,\u201d said the Doctor. \u201cSo, what\u2019s the endgame? Chasing after the coattails of your master, Omega?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOmega was my failed bi-generation\u2019s master and she got what she deserved,\u201d replied Rex. \u201cNo, I\u2019m going to kill him, but I need to intercept him before he reaches Gallifrey.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAnd the person we\u2019re after?\u201d asked Callie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThat part\u2019s the truth,\u201d answered Rex. \u201cShe\u2019s been after my TARDIS, not caring about the implications of staying here in Inkadia.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSo you\u2019re trying to stop her,\u201d said the Doctor. \u201cWho is she anyways?\u201d A lava shot then answered her question. Everyone turned to see a lime-green woman with pink eyes and white hair as well as a black dress and shirt. \u201c\u2026Oh,\u201d said the Doctor as she realized who it was.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI overheard everything!\u201d snarled the green woman. \u201cFollowed you from the rocket site! So, you\u2019re the same Doctor that ruined my viral experiments!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou were experimenting with the Movellan Virus!\u201d retorted the Doctor. \u201cYou were making unnecessary enemies of the Daleks! Of course I was going to stop you!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cDoctor, who is that woman?\u201d asked Tysar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThat\u2019s Lord Dominator,\u201d replied the Doctor. \u201cShe destroys whole galaxies just for fun!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOh, a humanoid Dalek,\u201d remarked Sty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI\u2019m better than those dorky trash cans!\u201d barked Lord Dominator as she pulled out a purple and black device. It had a two barreled gun on one end, a chainsaw on the other, a set of A and B buttons, and a screen. Emu goggled in shock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe Gashacon Bugvisor!\u201d he said. \u201cHow did you get that?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cRex had it in his TARDIS and his notes on Game Disease,\u201d replied Lord Dominator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou know, you ruined the Chameleon Circuit!\u201d remarked Rex. \u201cIt supposed to blend in with the surroundings!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c\u2026That specific shape didn\u2019t exactly blend in on Lakertya,\u201d snarked the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou, hush!\u201d hissed Rex.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhat do you intend to do with that device?\u201d asked Obi-wan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis thing was loaded with a sample of Game Disease,\u201d replied Lord Dominator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe Bugster Virus!\u201d hissed Emu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBugster Virus?\u201d asked the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cA sort of computer virus that can infect humans!\u201d explained Emu. \u201cAfter infection, whenever someone\u2019s immune system is weakened due to stress, it replicates and takes over the host\u2019s body until the host disappears!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAnd that device is the means of deploying it?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt\u2019s A means. Thankfully, there\u2019s a way to deal with that!\u201d Emu then pulled out a neon green device with a pink handle. The device had two slots to the left of the handle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhat on Earth-?\u201d muttered the Doctor. Emu then put the device on his waist and it formed a belt around him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThat thing works like my Gamer Driver,\u201d continued Emu as he pulled out a small pink device. It looked almost like a game cartridge. Lord Dominator smiled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cDoctor, it hurts when I do THIS!\u201d She pointed the barrel end of the Bugvisor at Callie and sprayed her with some orange mist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cCALLIE!\u201d called Marie. Lord Dominator then made her arms become lava and the lava formed into giant fists. She swung fists at Callie, forcing the Inkling Idol to dodge. Unfortunately, the fight or flight instinct was enough to trigger stress and Callie was surrounded by orange matter that formed into a golem-like creature. \u201cMight wanna leave her to her fate, losers!\u201d cackled Lord Dominator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNo chance!\u201d replied Emu. \u201cI\u2019ll change Callie\u2019s fate with my own hands!\u201d He pressed a button on the pink cartridge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMIGHTY ACTION X!\u201d announced the cartridge. The area pixelated for a bit, then returned to normal as blocks appeared, even in midair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHENSHIN!\u201d called Emu. He then inserted the cartridge into the slot nearest to the handle on the belt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cGASHATTO!\u201d called the belt. A ring of rectangular holograms with visors and hair appeared. \u201cLet\u2019s game! Meccha game! MUCCHA GAME! WHAT\u2019S YOUR NAME?!\u201d Emu selected the icon with pink hair. \u201cI\u2019m a Kamen Rider!\u201d The hologram passed over him and he was in white armor with a life gauge on the chest with pink hair\u2026and he had chibi proportions. Lord Dominator laughed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhat kind of ridiculous armor is that?!\u201d she cackled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt\u2019s Level 1,\u201d replied Emu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNow I remember where I heard that name!\u201d realized the Doctor. \u201cYou\u2019re Hojo Emu, Kamen Rider Ex-Aid!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThat\u2019s me!\u201d replied Emu, Kamen Rider Ex-Aid. \u201cAnd I\u2019ll clear this game with no continues!\u201d He then summoned a white hammer with a green head and a set of A and B buttons on it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cGASHACON BREAKER!\u201d it said. Ex-Aid then bounced around and struck the golem with the Breaker. As he struck it, a stylized \u201cHIT\u201d appeared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYes, yes, you proved your genius,\u201d sighed Rex to Lord Dominator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOh no, not yet!\u201d replied Lord Dominator as she pulled out a buckle and fixed it to her waist. It formed a belt and fastened itself to her. She then attached the Bugvisor to the belt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cGATCHON!\u201d it called in a distorted voice. Then creepy 8-bit music played. Lord Dominator then pulled out a cartridge like Ex-Aid\u2019s but it was magma-styled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWait, you made your own Gashat?!\u201d yelped Rex.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhy else would I use your lab so often?\u201d asked Lord Dominator. She pressed the cartridge (Gashat) button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWORLD-DESTROYER!\u201d it announced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhat\u2019s that word Ex-Aid used?\u201d mused Lord Dominator. \u201cAh, yes! \u2026Henshin!\u201d She inserted the Gashat into a slot above the screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cGASHATTO!\u201d called the belt. She then pressed a button on the other side of the slot. \u201cBUGGLE UP!\u201d A hologram of her overlapped with a red game character then surrounded her and magma then surrounded the whole thing as the belt continued. \u201cFIRE! BLEAKNESS! (Genocide!) DESTROYING STAR SHIP! WORLD-DESTROYER!\u201d A fist then burst out of the magma formation and then a Kamen Rider based on Lord Dominator\u2019s armored form took its place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou can call me\u2026Kamen Rider Smash-R!\u201d introduced Lord Dominator as her helmet distorted her voice to sound masculine. \u201cLevel 10!\u201d She then went on the attack as she summoned a magma-themed sword with an A and B button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cGASHACON VOLCANIUM X BLADE!\u201d it called as she swung it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201c\u2026If that\u2019s how long a Time Lord\u2019s name is,\u201d remarked Tysar, \u201cI hesitate to learn yours, Doctor.\u201d \u201cOne of the reasons I stick with just \u2018Doctor\u2019,\u201d replied the Doctor. \u201cSo, Rex, what brings you here from Gallifrey?
