AUTHOR'S NOTE 1: All remaining episodes in this series where the "Key power evolution" storyline is included will be split into two books, as this story is.
AUTHOR'S NOTE 2: Book One of this story will feature the Fifth Doctor as portrayed by Peter Davison on Doctor Who from 1982 to 1984 (and the 2007 Tenth Doctor episode "Time Crash"), while Book Two will feature the "War Doctor" as portrayed by John Hurt in the Doctor Who 50th anniversary television special "The Day of the Doctor" (first transmitted in 2013). However, like the previous Neo Doctors in this series, the Neo-Fifth Doctor and Neo-War Doctor will retain all of the knowledge and experiences of every one of his incarnations.
AUTHOR'S NOTE 3: The "Supervisory Special Agent William Raymer" character seen in Book Two is intended to be the player-controlled character in the Nintendo 3DS version of the NCIS videogame. Events from the game's story are referenced throughout this story, so it is recommended (but not absolutely necessary) to have played the game before reading this story.
HISTORIAN'S NOTE: This story takes place shortly after the events of the NCIS: New Orleans episode "Sleeping with the Enemy," or specifically during the two-week administrative leave that S.S.A. Dwayne Pride and his team were placed on during the Department of Homeland Security mole investigation. It assumes that the events of the NCIS episode "Family First" (in which DiNozzo learns of Ziva's death and of his and Ziva's daughter Tali) happened at the same time.
Previously on 30 Worlds: Megaforce...
The Ambassador arrived in the Unaligned World of Supergirl. At first, their mission was supposed to be about ensuring that Kara Zor-El (or Supergirl) did not learn that her adopted sister, Department of Extra-Normal Operations Agent Alex Danvers, killed Kara's aunt Astra with a Kryptonite sword.
However, shortly after the Ambassador's arrival, William learned that D.E.O. Director Hank Henshaw (actually a Martian named J'onn J'onnz in Henshaw's form) had been removed from his position and that he and Alex were arrested and packed for transport to Project Cadmus, a classified governmental organization that dissected aliens so that their abilities could by copied for human use.
After working with Kara and acting D.E.O. Director Lucy Lane to liberate Alex and J'onn, the crew of the Ambassador learned of a Kryptonian signal code-named "Myriad," which could control the minds of everyone in Kara's adopted hometown of National City.
Along with two rival corporate magnates, the Ambassador crew was able to help Kara break Myriad's control over the citizens of National City. However, the signal was still operative and being made stronger by a renegade Kryptonian so that the signal could eventually overload and shut down the neural systems of every single person on Earth.
With the help of Princess Scarlett and a fleet of ships working for her Army, the Ambassador was able to destroy a damaged Kryptonian prison spaceship that was the source of the Myriad signal. It was then that William and Sofia learned that several Grand Key components-including Sofia herself-had not yet reached their full potential.
In order to have Sofia reach hers, it became necessary to return to her homeworld for her and William to be married...
BOOK ONE*PROLOGUE
In his quarters aboard the Dimensional Defense Vessel Ambassador, Prince William of Cinnabar sat, looking over the plans for his and Princess Sofia of Enchancia's wedding. Suddenly, the door chime rang. "Who is it?" William asked as he set down a stylus pen. "It's The Doctor," an unfamiliar voice said.
"E.R.I.N., confirm," William ordered. "Confirmed. Identity: The Doctor, fifth incarnation," E.R.I.N., the Ambassador's artificial intelligence said. "Come in then, Doctor," William said. The doors slid open, revealing a dapper blond-haired man in cricketing whites and wearing a sprig of celery in his lapel.
"Good morning, William," The Doctor said. "To you as well, Doctor," William said before yawning. "I'm just a little tired. Spent half the night looking over the accelerated plans for mine and Sofia's wedding."
"I can understand how nervous you are about this, William," The Doctor said as William stood and walked over to his room's food replicator. "Tea. Earl Grey. Hot," William said. A steaming cup of Earl Grey tea appeared on the replicator pad. "You know, you almost sounded like Captain Picard when you said that," The Doctor said.
"I remember. Your eleventh form, Amy and Rory Pond actually met him on the Enterprise-D when the Borg and Cybermen joined forces," William said. "Yes," The Doctor said. "In fact, it was when I was aboard the Enterprise-D that I started to put two and two together about this ship."
William took a sip from the teacup. "And it was that knowledge that led you to suggest the Ambassador as our new ship when our Enterprise was destroyed," William said. "Exactly," The Doctor said. "Well, then, thank you," William said.
"William, this is Sofia. We're home," Princess Sofia said on the comm. "On our way, Sofia," William said. William and The Doctor exited William's quarters.
On the Bridge of the Ambassador, Sofia sat in the command chair as on the viewscreen, the dimensional tides cleared to reveal the World of Sofia the First. "Entering standard orbit, Your Highness," Kelsi Nielsen said. "All right, Kelsi," Sofia said.
The turbolift doors slid open, revealing William and The Doctor. "Ahh. Home at last," William said. Sofia turned in the command chair. "It's a shame we can't stay," she said. "I presume that is The Doctor standing there with you."
"You presume correctly, Sofia," The Doctor said. William walked up to and put a hand on the back of the command chair. "OPS, hail King Roland," William said. "I have King Roland on the line," Alex Danvers responded at the Operations console. "Put him through, Alex," William said.
King Roland II of Enchancia appeared on the Ambassador's viewscreen. He was flanked by his wife Queen Miranda and their two children, Prince James and Princess Amber. "Your Majesty, the clock starts now," William said. "Agreed," King Roland said. The two shared a smile before the viewscreen switched back to Earth.
"Rangers, with me," William said. "Ms. Danvers, the Bridge is yours." Alex stood from her station and moved over to the command chair as William and the Rangers entered the turbolift. "Main Shuttlebay," William said before the doors slid closed.
In the throne room of Enchancia Royal Castle, King Roland sat in his throne and watched as the doors opened, revealing William and Sofia. "Welcome back, William. Welcome back, Sofia," Roland said.
"Thank you, Father," Sofia said. Sofia hugged Roland as William smiled. "Yes. Thank you, Your Majesty," William said.
A Enchancian Royal Guardsman entered the throne room. "Your Majesty, a visitor representing the Scarlett Army wishes to see you," he said.
"Send him in," Roland said. The doors into the throne room opened, revealing a huge bald muscle-bound man with tribal tattoos over most of his body.
"King Roland, I am Kratos. I am here on behalf of Queen Scarlett of Cinnabar," the man said. "Welcome, Kratos," Roland said. "What, may I ask, is the reason for your visit?"
"Queen Scarlett has assigned me to oversee the security arrangements for Prince William and Princess Sofia's wedding, since Queen Scarlett herself will be one of Princess Sofia's bridesmaids," Kratos said.
"Very well," Roland said. "Baileywick, show Master Kratos to the Royal Church so that he can plan the placement of our security forces."
"With all due respect, Your Majesty, I cannot and will not accept any assistance from the Enchancian Royal Guard," Kratos said. "Princess Sofia is a member of the Scarlett Army. It therefore makes sense that the Army be the only security required for her wedding."
"As you wish, Master Kratos," King Roland said. "Baileywick, show our guest to the church so he can determine the best placement of the Army's forces." "Yes, Your Majesty," royal butler Baileywick said before gesturing for Kratos to follow him.
