Previously on 30 Worlds: Megaforce...

The Enterprise arrived in their first Unaligned World, the Unaligned World of Divergent, in order to locate Beatrice "Tris" Prior, the Divergent Key.

Almost immediately upon their arrival, William and Sofia became embroiled in the internal politics of Dauntless, one of the five Factions that inhabited a ruined future version of the great city of Chicago. First, William was challenged to an honor fight against a Dauntless initiate.

Then, when Tris was abducted by faction leader Max and spirited off to an A.I.C. compound in the wastelands outside Old Chicago as part of a plot to upset the balance between the five Factions, William led an Enterprise rescue team to liberate her and transport her to the Enterprise.

Eventually, Four—the second-in-command of Dauntless—challenged Max to a fight for control of Dauntless and chose William to fight on his behalf. Using his newly-acquired access to the powers of Ressha Sentai ToQger, William defeated Max in a fight to the death.

PROLOGUE

In the combat information center on the DDV Enterprise, Prince William of the lost kingdom of Cinnabar stood at his place in front of the ship's Galaxy Map. Around him, his friends and shipmates were going about their duties as the ship sailed through the dimensional tides en route to their next destination.

"Sickbay to C.I.C.," a voice called out. William crossed over to his private terminal. "Go ahead, Isabella," William said. The face of Isabella Garcia-Shapiro appeared on the terminal's screen. "William, Tris is asking to speak to you," she said.

"On my way, Isabella," William said. He turned to Bayonetta, who was standing nearby. "Take over, Bayonetta," he said. Bayonetta nodded, then stood at the Galaxy Map as William walked into the central access turbolift.

In the Enterprise's Sickbay, Isabella was scanning a woman drinking from a cup and sitting on one of the room's biobeds. The doors into Sickbay opened, revealing William. Beatrice "Tris" Prior set her cup down and smiled at William.

"Isabella told me what you and your crew did for me and Four, William," Tris said. "Thank you." "It's my job, Tris," William said. "Please excuse us, Isabella."

Isabella nodded, then entered her office. "I'm sorry we lied to you about who we really were and why we were in your world, Tris," William said as he sat on the biobed next to Tris. "Isabella told me why you had to," she said. "It's no problem as far as I am concerned."

Tris gestured to Isabella's office door. "Isabella says I can leave," Tris added. "So, what do you need me to do?"

"Whatever you can do, Tris," William said before a chime sounded. "C.I.C. to Prince William. We have arrived in the Unaligned World of Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs," the voice of Sergeant Tamora Calhoun said.

"On our way, Sergeant," William said. "Summon all senior officers to the Briefing Room." "Aye, aye, sir," Calhoun said. Tris followed William out of Sickbay.

The heads of the Enterprise's senior officers turned as the Briefing Room doors opened to reveal William and Tris. William gestured for Tris to sit next to Calhoun as he himself moved to stand next to the holographic projector in the center of the room.

"E.R.I.N., begin briefing," William said. The projection of E.R.I.N., the ship's artificial intelligence, appeared as the room lights dimmed.

"A few years ago, an amateur inventor named Flint Lockwood created a machine that turned water into any kind of food he programmed into its computer. He called it the 'Flint Lockwood Diatonic Super Mutating Dynamic Food Replicator,' or the FLDSMDFR, for short," E.R.I.N. began.

"The FLDSMDFR caused food-based weather systems to form, not just above Lockwood's hometown of Swallow Falls, a small island in the Atlantic Ocean, but above most of the world's major cities and other population centers. At first, the weather was welcomed by the people. But, when the FLDSMDFR went haywire, Flint took it upon himself to deactivate the device and save the world. He was joined by these people, who along with Flint himself, are the Cloudy Key," E.R.I.N. said, turning to the projector.

"Sam Sparks, a well-known weather reporter; Manny—last name unknown—her faithful cameraman; Brent McHale, Flint's former bully-turned-best friend; Flint's pet monkey, Steve; and Earl Deveraux, a policeman in Swallow Falls. Finally, Flint used another of his inventions, spray-on shoes, to clog the FLDSMDFR's exit port and short out the machine...or so he thought," E.R.I.N. continued.

"What do you mean?" Tris asked. "Shortly thereafter, the LIVE Corporation purchased the entire town of Swallow Falls and moved all of its citizens to the town of San Franjose, some three hundred miles to the north," E.R.I.N. responded. "Flint, who had tried but failed to become a LIVECorp 'thinkquanaut' six months before, was hired to return to Swallow Falls and investigate a mysterious rash of food-animal hybrids—or 'foodimals'-that had appeared on the island, which had become overrun with vegetation."

"It was discovered that the FLDSMDFR had survived and was creating the foodimals based on its last-known program instructions. When LIVECorp and its chairman, Chester V, tried to seize the FLDSMDFR, Flint and his friends stopped them and destroyed the FLDSMDFR once and for all," E.R.I.N. finished.

"Well, why does Master Yen Sid want us to go to this world, E.R.I.N.?" Zenon Kar asked. "I'm glad you asked, Zenon," E.R.I.N. said. Images of the foodimals on the holographic projector switched to an online news article headlined "WACKY INVENTOR AND WELL-KNOWN WEATHERGIRL ENGAGED."

"Master Yen Sid suspects that the remnants of LIVECorp's thinkquanauts might try to sabotage Flint and Sam's wedding in retaliation for the couple's hand in the death of Chester V during the foodimal crisis," E.R.I.N. said.

"I see," William said. "Tris, Zenon, Skips, Bayonetta, Phineas, Ferb, please remain here. The rest of you are dismissed."

Except for the individuals William specified, the briefing room emptied.
