AUTHOR'S NOTE: This story will feature the Eighth Doctor as portrayed by Paul McGann in the 1996 Doctor Who TV movie and in the 2013 short film "The Night of the Doctor" (a prequel to the Doctor Who 50th anniversary TV special "The Day of the Doctor"). However, as with the Neo-Fourth Doctor in Episode XIV: "Ambassador of the Daleks," the Neo-Eighth Doctor will retain the memories of all of his incarnations.

Previously on 30 Worlds: Megaforce...

The crew of the late DDV Enterprise had recovered the USS Ambassador NX-10521, a ship that The Doctor's fourth incarnation had first encountered following a failed attempt to stop the creation of his mortal enemies, the Daleks, some four decades before.

After receiving repairs and upgrades to the Ambassador's systems, the newly-rechristened DDV Ambassador returned to the World of Descendants and defeated The Doctor's ultimate enemy, The Master, with the help—surprisingly enough—of the villains from the Isle of the Lost...even Mal's mother, Maleficent.

Although The Master ultimately escaped, the United States of Auradon had prevailed. It was then that King Benjamin proposed marriage to Mal, who accepted. However, the wedding would have to wait, for the Ambassador had to continue on its mission.

PROLOGUE

Prince William of the lost kingdom of Cinnabar was walking down the corridors of the DDV Ambassador and smiled as he saw Mal. She was smiling too, admiring the ring on her finger. It was not the Auradon Prep class ring that Mal had worn since before they met—it was an engagement ring.

"Good morning, William," Mal said. "To you as well, Mal," William said. "How's the future Queen of Auradon doing today?"

Mal smiled. "Amazingly," she said as she held up the hand the engagement ring rested on. "I just want to get rid of the A.I.C. as soon as possible so that Ben and I can truly begin our lives together."

"I know how you feel," William said. "Sofia and I too decided to hold off on getting married until we defeat Xur and his cronies once and for all."

"Sofia to Prince William and Lady Mal," a voice called out on the Ambassador's P.A. system. "Speak of the devil," William said. "Go ahead, Sofia."

"We're approaching the interphase coordinates for the Unaligned World of Supergirl, William," Princess Sofia said. "We should be arriving in ten minutes."

"On our way," William said. "Let's head up to the Bridge." Mal nodded, then followed William into a nearby turbolift car. "Bridge," William said. The doors slid closed and the car began to move upward.

On the Bridge of the Ambassador, Sofia smiled as the turbolift doors opened, revealing William and Mal. "Sofia, have you discussed re-integrating E.R.I.N.'s program into the Ambassador's computer with Commander Antilles at Challenger Base?" William asked, referring to the Scarlett's Army-held space station where the Ambassador was refurbished.

"I have already been re-integrated, William," a familiar voice said. "While we were at Challenger Base, Commander Antilles and his team rigged an interface between the Ambassador and my mobile operating unit which will allow me to participate in away missions if my program's abilities are required."

"Don't you mean your body?" Mal said as she walked to her Operations station. "I believe I just said that, Mal," E.R.I.N. said.

"Returning to normal space, Your Highness," Chad Danforth said from the Helm console. On the Ambassador's viewscreen, the dimensional tunnel cleared to reveal the Earth of the Unaligned World of Supergirl.

"Proceed to geosynchronous orbit over National City," William said. "The briefing files will have the necessary coordinates." "Understood, Your Highness," Chad said. The Earth on the viewscreen grew until the ship had achieved the prescribed orbit.

"All right," William said. "Rangers, report to the Conference Lounge. Prince William to TARDIS. Doctor, are you there?" "I am here, William," an unfamiliar voice said. "However, it seems that I have reverted to my eighth form."

"I see," William said. "Well, whatever form you are in, please come up to the Bridge and take command while we're in a briefing." "On my way," The Doctor said.

As soon as The Doctor arrived on the Bridge, William led the Rangers to the Conference Lounge. "E.R.I.N., open a shipwide channel so that all personnel can see and hear us and contribute if necessary," William said. "Acknowledged," E.R.I.N. said.

"All right then," William said. "Our mission here in the Unaligned World of Supergirl involves this person, and it is not Supergirl herself."

William tapped a few keys on the Conference Lounge table. A holographic projection appeared on the table. "Alexandra Danvers, adopted sister of Kara Zor-El—or Supergirl," William said. "To the outside world, she is an agent with the Federal Bureau of Investigations."

The projection of Agent Danvers switched to the outside of a bunker somewhere in the desert outside of National City. "But, in reality, Agent Danvers works for the D.E.O., or the Department of Extra-Normal Operations, an organization founded to protect Earth from various alien threats," William said.

"The D.E.O. was founded in response to the crash of 'Fort Rozz,' a Kryptonian prison spaceship launched just over thirteen years ago, prior to the destruction of Krypton itself. Upon crashing on Earth, the prisoners of Fort Rozz gained powers similar to Supergirl's via the yellow sun of Earth," William continued.

"One of those prisoners was Kara's aunt Astra, who joined a terrorist organization just prior to Krypton's destruction and was placed in Fort Rozz along with many of the organization's supporters. They caused mayhem throughout National City before Astra was killed by Agent Danvers, using a Kryptonite sword. However, D.E.O. Director Hank Henshaw—actually a Martian named J'onn J'onzz in human form—took the blame, knowing that if Supergirl learned that her adopted sister did the deed, Supergirl would never want to speak to or have anything to do with Alex ever again," William finished.

Clara Oswald held up her hand. "William, why are we here?" she asked. "I'm getting to that, Clara," William said before tapping another control. "Master Yen Sid believes that the family relationship between Kara and Alex is the Supergirl Key. And if Kara learns that Alex, not Director Henshaw, killed Astra, that power will be irrevocably lost to us."

"That is why we're here, Clara," William said. "Doctor, can you hear us?" The curly-haired visage of the Eighth Doctor appeared in place of the personnel file of Director Henshaw. He was seated in the Ambassador's command chair. "I can indeed, William," he said. "Doctor, we may need to borrow the TARDIS for this one," William said.

"Do what you need to do, William. Just take care of her," The Doctor said. "We will, Doctor," William said. "William, out."

William turned back to the other Rangers. "Get your gear together. I will explain the mission further once we gather on the TARDIS in four hours. Mr. Lennier, I recommend you report to Sickbay immediately for temporary cosmetic modification. That bony crown of yours..."

"Not necessarily," Lennier interrupted. "Explain," Sofia said. "I looked at the briefing files for a moment while you were explaining the mission parameters, Your Highness," Lennier said. "There is a science-fiction convention at the National City Events and Media Center this weekend, where it is my understanding that people dress up in costumes resembling their favorite characters. In this world, the events I know as my world's history are depicted in a dramatic series of television productions."

"I see what you are referring to, Lennier. Good idea," William said. "If you all wish, find a character from a science-fiction or fantasy show you like and requisition the necessary supplies to make your costume believable. Dismissed."
