AUTHOR'S NOTE 1: The next four stories in this series (starting with this episode) will not feature any Doctor Who characters (with the exception of a brief cameo by Clara Oswald in this chapter). This will allow the events of the 30 Worlds: Megaforce series to catch up with Series 9 ("Series," in this case, being the British term for a TV season) of the revived Doctor Who television series, which culminated in the departure of Jenna Coleman (the actress who played Clara Oswald) from the show at the end of that Series.
Episode XXIII (tentatively set to be based on the Power Rangers film reboot) will feature the return of The Doctor, now joined by his newest companion. However, due to the recent announcement of Peter Capaldi's departure from the role of The Doctor in the 2017 Doctor Who Christmas special, I will have to delay writing Book XXIII until after Capaldi's replacement is named.
AUTHOR'S NOTE 2: This story is a part of the "Key power evolution" storyline introduced in 30 Worlds: Megaforce, Episode XVI: "True Love's First Kiss."
HISTORIAN'S NOTE: This story takes place after the MacGyver/Hawaii Five-O crossover event (encompassing the MacGyver episode "Flashlight" and the Hawaii Five-0 episode "Puka 'ana" [Hawaiian for "Exodus"]) which both originally aired on March 10th, 2017.
Previously on 30 Worlds: Megaforce...
Just as the Ambassador was preparing to leave the Unaligned World of Godzilla and proceed to its next destination, a dimensional fold deposited a strange yet familiar ship in its path. The ship, identified by its commander, Captain James T. Kirk, as the USS Enterprise NCC-1701-A, came from the Unaligned World of Star Trek—a world in chaos thanks to the machinations of the Army of Inter-universal Chaos.
Upon journeying with the Enterprise-A back to the Unaligned World of Star Trek, the Ambassador and the Enterprise-A discovered what the A.I.C. was doing: using an unknown force to bring together the various timelines and quantum realities that the Unaligned World of Star Trek had ever known—a process, which if left unchecked, would lead to the destruction of the entire dimension.
Alongside the crews of the Enterprise-A and five other legendary Starfleet vessels, the crew of the Ambassador were able to rescue an omnipotent being known simply as "Q," whom the A.I.C. had captured and forced to power its anomaly generator. Together, the crew of the Ambassador and the six Starfleet vessels were able to trap the A.I.C.'s action commander, Kalabar of the World of Halloweentown, in the collapsing anomaly.
For his heroics in saving the Unaligned World of Star Trek, Prince William was named the new head of the Scarlett Army's space defense forces by Princess Sofia, who, in turn, had been named High Commander of the Army by Queen Scarlett.
Sofia then revealed that prior to his return to the extra-dimensional void he called the "Q Continuum," Q helped the Army turn the Ambassador into a brand-new ship for the final stretch of the crew's mission: the Dimensional Defense Vessel Enterprise SAV-1701-A. The newly-recommissioned DDV Enterprise-A resumed its mission, joined by a new member of the Scarlett Army...
BOOK ONE*PROLOGUE
Personal Quarters of Ensign Sito Jaxa
Challenger Base
Location: [CLASSIFIED]
Sito Jaxa smiled as she put on her new Scarlett Army uniform. It resembled the Starfleet uniform she wore during her time on the USS Enterprise-D, but with one exception: a commbadge in the shape of the Scarlett Army crest instead of the Starfleet delta.
"Ensign Sito, report to Prince William's office on Level 2. Ensign Sito to Prince William's office, please,"a voice called out on Challenger Base's communications system. Sito tapped the badge. "Ensign Sito acknowledging. I'm on my way," Sito said.
In his office on the command level of the Scarlett Army space station known as Challenger Base, Prince William of Cinnabar and his wife, Princess Sofia of Enchancia, sat looking at a small gold, red and black device on his desk. Sitting on top of the device was a yellow, black, gold and silver object in the shape of a person.
"I'm gonna miss them, Sofia," William said. "Me too, Bill," Sofia said. The door chime rang. "Enter," William said.
The doors slid open, revealing Ensign Sito. "Ensign Sito Jaxa, reporting as ordered, Your Highnesses," she said. "At ease, Lieutenant," William said. "Please have a seat." William gestured for Sito to sit down next to Sofia in a chair across the desk's polished ebony surface from William.
As Sito sat down, William pushed the two objects up to Sito. "What are these, sir?" Sito asked. "This will explain," William said, holding up an isolinear data card.
As William slid the card into a data reader, Sofia pushed the device and person-shaped object up to Sito. The holographic projector built into William's desk flared into life, revealing a young red-haired woman.
"I am Clara Oswald, a teacher at Coal Hill Secondary School in the Shoreditch area of London, England, United Kingdom in the Unaligned World of Doctor Who," the woman said. "This message has been recorded for Ensign Sito Jaxa of the Scarlett Army."
"I have only known you for a very brief time, Ensign, but in that time, I have discerned that you are a woman of supreme moral character and enormous force of will. As I have to leave with my friend, The Doctor, soon, I have decided to resign my duties as Megaforce Yellow. I intend you to replace me," Clara said.
Sito shot a look at William and Sofia. "As Megaforce Yellow, you will be able to call upon the powers of legendary heroes from worlds across time and space," Clara continued. "If you choose to accept this honour, you need only touch the Mobilates, which I presume Prince William has presented you with."
Sito looked up at William and Sofia. "Follow your pagh," William said, using the Bajoran term for a being's life force or spirit. Sito picked up the Mobilates and Megaforce Yellow Change Key. A yellow light passed from them to Sito.
"Let me officially welcome you aboard, Lieutenant," William said as he stood from his chair, hand extended. Sito accepted the gesture. "Now that you've accepted the powers of Megaforce Yellow, we need to head to the Enterprise," William said. "We've got our next mission."
Aboard Dimensional Defense Vessel Enterprise SAV-1701-A, Main Bridge
William, Sofia and Sito walked onto the Bridge of the Enterprise and took in the new design and the crew's due diligence in preparing the ship for departure.
William gestured for Sito to take her place at the OPS console. "Ladies, gentlemen, I am happy to announce that Lieutenant Sito has agreed to replace Clara Oswald on our team," William said. The Bridge crew applauded as Sito approached where Princess Consort Mal sat.
"Hello, Mal," Sito said. "Hello yourself, Jaxa," Mal said. She then greeted Sito in the Bajoran manner. "I appreciate your greeting, Mal," Sito said. Mal then gestured for Sito to take her position. As she did, Mal stepped over to the Science console, which was vacated by a Scarlett Army officer.
"Prepare for departure," William said. "Sito, hail the dockmaster." "Aye, sir. Control standing by," Sito said after tapping a few keys.
"Control, this is the Enterprise, requesting permission to depart," William said. "Enterprise is clear to depart," the docking controller said.
"Chad, ease her out nice and slow. Aft thrusters at ¼. Port and starboard at zero station," William said. "Yes, sir," Chad Danforth said. The docking port began to slowly recede on the Bridge viewscreen. Then, the entirety of Challenger Base disappeared.
"We are free and clear to navigate," Chad said. "Chad, prepare the transitional deviation unit for the Unaligned World of NCIS. Rig for max power," Sofia said. "Yes, ma'am," Chad said.
As the Enterprise sailed into a dimensional fold, William turned to Sofia. "Sofia, what's the chain of command?" he asked. "Well, on this ship and during a mission, you're on point, William," Sofia said. "However, if I have to pull rank on you as High Commander of the Scarlett Army, I will. No offense."
"None taken," William said. "Aunt Scarlett knows what she is doing." "She sure does," Sofia said. "Rangers, to the Observation Lounge. Sergeant, you have the conn. Have E.R.I.N summon Io Shinoda to join us," William said. Sergeant Tamora Calhoun stood from her console as Sofia, Sito, Mal, Chad and Lennier of Minbar followed William off the Bridge.
