The Doctor finally broke off the hug. \u201cBut…but how?!\u201d she asked. \u201cThe Time Lords wiped your memories of our adventures!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe can\u2019t exactly explain it,\u201d replied Zoe. \u201cOne moment, we fell asleep, then the next, we woke up in some strange room in the TARDIS with all our memories restored.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAnd this room had different control panels and all sorts of screens and roundels and-!\u201d continued Jamie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe Remembered TARDIS!\u201d gasped the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe what?\u201d asked Jamie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt\u2019s how I remember the TARDIS, Jamie,\u201d replied the Doctor. \u201cIt was created when UNIT made a Time Window. And it\u2019s powered by memories of past and future adventures. During an adventure where I had to deal with a destroyer, it must have latched onto everyone\u2019s memories, from my past lives to all the companions I traveled with. The added side effect must have been to restore your memories.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWell, all the clutter certainly matched the TARDIS,\u201d remarked Jamie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou really could have spent some time dusting it when we were travelling with you,\u201d agreed Zoe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOI!\u201d protested the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNot much has changed,\u201d remarked Tysar. \u201cThere\u2019s still some odds and ends everywhere inside.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSee here-!\u201d snapped the Doctor. Her sonic screwdriver then beeped. She checked it and blinked. \u201c\u2026Well, that\u2019s a bit odd,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhat\u2019s wrong?\u201d asked Sty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt turns out there was a chronal surge here earlier,\u201d explained the Doctor. \u201cNot sure where it came from and who it plucked. \u2026How about this, let\u2019s introduce ourselves.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Soon, everyone knew everyone else\u2019s names. The Sailor Senshi were Usagi Tsukino as Sailor Moon, Ami Mizuno as Sailor Mercury, Rei Hino as Sailor Mars, Makoto Kino as Sailor Jupiter, and Minako Aino as Sailor Venus. The other teenagers were Jason Lee Scott the original Red Power Ranger, Zack Taylor the original Black Ranger, Kimberly Hart the original Pink Ranger, Billy Cranston the original Blue Ranger, and Trini Kwan the original Yellow Ranger. It was decided that the Rangers would stay with King Dedede, Sty, Jamie, and Bandee while Kirby, the Doctor, Tysar, the Sailor Senshi, Meta Knight, and Zoe would investigate the remaining chronal surge victim. Given the passenger limitations on Kirby\u2019s Warp Star, The Doctor\u2019s team opted for the TARDIS. Naturally, the Sailor Senshi, having never been in a TARDIS before, didn\u2019t initially think they would all fit inside and were astounded by Time Lord Dimensional Engineering! \u201cImpossible!\u201d gasped Sailor Mercury. \u201cThe sheer amount of power alone-!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAye,\u201d confirmed Jamie as he and Zoe looked around the TARDIS. \u201cThat\u2019s what was going on in our heads when we each first stepped into this bonnie blue place.\u201d He patted the console as if greeting an old friend. The TARDIS beeped appreciatively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEven though you\u2019ve redecorated, Doctor,\u201d said Zoe, \u201cit still feels like I\u2019ve come home!\u201d A smile crossed her face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNow, Ms. Mizuno,\u201d said the Doctor, \u201cI\u2019d love to give a lecture on how the TARDIS is bigger on the inside, but we\u2019re pressed for time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cGood luck, Doctor,\u201d said Jamie as he headed to the doors. \u201cAnd do try to give the new ones a smooth takeoff, aye?\u201d He then left the TARDIS as the Doctor bridled at that remarked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cA smooth takeoff?!\u201d she protested as she set the coordinates. \u201cA smooth takeoff?! Infernal cheek!\u201d She pulled the takeoff lever and the TARDIS made its usual noise. Zoe looked around with a smile on her face as memories came flooding to the forefront of her mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis thing\u2019s moving?!\u201d asked Sailor Venus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOnly a short distance, relatively speaking,\u201d replied the Doctor. \u201cI figured we should at least stay in the current time zone.\u201d The TARDIS then made its usual arrival noise. \u201cAnd there we are!\u201d She switched on the scanner and got a view of being inside a building. \u201cRight then!\u201d she declared. \u201cLet\u2019s go see!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The group stepped out to see a Waddle Dee standing next to a door. \u201cHello there!\u201d called the Doctor. \u201cWe\u2019re here to help!\u201d The Waddle-Dee was gobsmacked at the whole thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHow did you get here?!\u201d he demanded. \u201cThis is the Learning Hall! Only authorized students may enter here!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cLearning Hall?\u201d repeated Zoe. She then looked at the Doctor with a nasty theory. \u201cDoctor, you don\u2019t think-?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2019m hoping not, Zoe,\u201d replied the Doctor, correctly guessing Zoe\u2019s theory. Just then, a Waddle-Dee stepped out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHigh Mind Waddle-Dee!\u201d yelped the guard Waddle-Dee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHigh Mind?\u201d asked Zoe. \u201cThat doesn\u2019t make sense.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYes, if it IS them,\u201d recalled the Doctor, \u201cthen their High Minds should have had their mental energy drained.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDoctor, Zoe, do you know who\u2019s behind this?\u201d asked Sailor Jupiter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYes, but something just doesn\u2019t make sense,\u201d replied the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWould they have made this kind of machine?\u201d asked Sailor Mercury as she pointed out a machine with a headset, buttons, and a screen. The Doctor and Zoe\u2019s eyes went wide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2019m afraid they would,\u201d remarked the Doctor. \u201cThat test machine all but confirms it, doesn\u2019t it, Zoe?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe Krotons,\u201d confirmed Zoe. \u201cBut how is one of their victims still alive?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMaybe something went wrong with their Dynatrope.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThree this time?!\u201d The Guard Waddle-Dee said to his compatriot. \u201cWe\u2019d have to kidnap them from Mt. Dedede itself!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThere\u2019s no other way!\u201d replied the High Mind Waddle-Dee. \u201cOur master was most insistent.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026Singular,\u201d observed the Doctor. \u201cMaybe it\u2019s just ONE Kroton.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt\u2019s still dangerous,\u201d remarked Zoe. \u201cAnd we may not be able to obtain enough sulfuric acid.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cPerhaps we don\u2019t need it yet,\u201d mused the Doctor. She then waved her arm to attract the Waddle-Dees\u2019 attention. \u201cExcuse me! Is your master functioning on a Waddle-Dee only High Mind policy?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWell, no,\u201d replied the High Mind Waddle-Dee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSplendid,\u201d declared the Doctor as she turned to sit at the test machine\u2026only to see Zoe already there! \u201cZOE!\u201d she protested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDon\u2019t argue, Doctor!\u201d retorted Zoe. \u201cI\u2019m too old for that these days!\u201d She pressed the start button and a series of mathematical symbols rotating in two rings appeared on the screen. Zoe then pressed a sequence of buttons and some of the symbols vanished while the others arranged themselves into a formula. Zoe smiled, then pressed the start button again and performed a different formula. This went on for a while until the test was over. She took off the headset and sighed. \u201c\u2026Maybe this is related to the Krotons\u2019 brainwashing,\u201d she said, \u201cbut it\u2019s nice to know I\u2019ve still got it!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026No, I think we can chalk that up to appropriately-applied pride to your skills, Zoe,\u201d remarked the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThat seems really simple,\u201d said Sailor Mercury. \u201cI want to try it.\u201d Zoe\u2019s smile vanished.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSailor Mercury, you can\u2019t-!\u201d she protested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe Kroton asked for three this time,\u201d reminded the Doctor. \u201cAnd as she\u2019s the smartest of the Inner Sailor Senshi, Mercury IS needed. Sailor Mercury, good luck. Simply put on the headset and press the start button.\u201d That\u2019s when a gong sounded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026Dinnertime,\u201d shuddered Zoe. The Guard Waddle-Dee then headed to a hole in the wall near the door. The hole opened and he was given a tablet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhat\u2019s going on?\u201d asked Sailor Moon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt\u2019s our master,\u201d replied the Guard Waddle-Dee. \u201cThere\u2019s a message for me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhat does it say?\u201d asked Tysar. The Guard Waddle-Dee then read the message aloud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cClass 2-2-4-7. Selected: Female. Zo-Dee.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cZo-Dee?!\u201d spluttered Zoe. \u201cHaven\u2019t they updated those learning machines to detect whether or not someone is a native of the species they conquered?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEvidently not,\u201d remarked the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDONE!\u201d called Sailor Mercury. A definite smile was on her face. \u201cIt\u2019s like they were pleased with how I did!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSailor Mercury, do be careful!\u201d warned Zoe. \u201cThat\u2019s how the Krotons brainwash someone.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI always knew school was nothing more than brainwashing!\u201d laughed Sailor Moon. \u201cWhen I become queen, I\u2019m abolishing schools forever!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cShe doesn\u2019t,\u201d the Doctor muttered to Zoe and the rest of the team. She then sat down at the learning machine, then put on the headset and pressed the start button. She then arranged the symbols\u2026but the symbols bounced back into their circles before the formula could be completed. \u201cOh, good heavens!\u201d she groaned. \u201cThere I go, working in square roots again!\u201d As the Doctor worked on the next question, the message gong rang. The Guard Waddle-Dee retrieved the tablet and read it aloud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cClass 2-2-4-8. Selected: Female. Ami-Dee.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThey really don\u2019t know that I\u2019m not a Waddle-Dee?\u201d Sailor Mercury asked Zoe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThat machine\u2019s quite primitive compared to the TARDIS,\u201d replied Zoe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cGOT IT!\u201d called the Doctor. \u201cIt really is funny, how the Krotons are pleased with you when you answer right.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDoes that mean they\u2019re not as bad as you say?\u201d asked Sailor Venus. That snapped the Doctor out of it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNo, no, of course, they\u2019re as bad as I say!\u201d she insisted. The gong rang one more time. \u201cAnd I\u2019m betting I\u2019m the third course,\u201d muttered the Doctor. The Guard Waddle-Dee read the last tablet aloud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cClass 2-2-4-9. Selected: Female. Doctor-Dee.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2018Doctor-Dee\u2019! IDIOTS!\u201d snapped the Doctor. The door then slid upwards. \u201c\u2026Well, are you two ready?\u201d she asked Zoe and Sailor Mercury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDo we really-?\u201d asked Tysar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2019m afraid Krotons demand complete obedience,\u201d replied Zoe. \u201cIf not, they\u2019ll destroy the Waddle-Dees.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cZoe\u2019s right,\u201d said the Doctor. \u201cWe\u2019ll play along for now.\u201d The three chosen women steeled themselves, then entered the room. The door slid down behind them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026It feels wrong,\u201d muttered Tysar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
