As the ship flew overhead, Sora looked up at it. "Wow, what's that thing? It lloks a little like..."
"Metaknight? Yeah, that's his ship," said Pit. "The Battleship Halberd has arrived." Sora looked back just in time to block a hit from Commander D. He was using the red body now. He swung round his other keyblade, but just before it hit Commander D, it vanished. Sora's outfit turned back to normal, and Goofy reappeared.
"Looks like you can't stay in this "Valor Form" for long", said D.
"Now it's our turn," said Pit, as he and Mario stepped forward. "No, leave this to us!" said a voice from behind them. Three people were standing there: a large, dinosaurian creature with a turtle shell, an anthropomorphic fox holding a laser pistol, and Link, who no-one had actually seen being revived.
"Bowser! Link! Fox!" said Pit in surprise. "I thought you had been captured. When did you get here?"
"Just now," said Fox, "But listen, you have to head for the rift. Galaxia's third army is already through and it's going to close soon".
"The rift is already too small. The Halberd won't fit," said Lucario. "And I believe Tabuu has us in his sights". "If what you have told me of Tabuu is true, then it is already too late," said L calmly. "He's probably already charging his Off-Waves".
"Not just yet," said the Doctor "Follow me!"
Olimar and Dedede trembled as Commander A raised his hand and laughed. Captain Falcon shook his head. "Come on, he's not that scary. He's just got weird crystals growin' outta him." "Yes, but these crystals are far more important than they seem," growled A, "They absorb all of the energy from any attack, rendering them useless. I had a pair of them on my hands before I used my First Emergence, but now they cover sixty percent of my body." "That's a worrying enough prospect," whispered Dedede to the others, "even without the fact he hasn't mentioned what those towers are for". "There's no harm in telling you. You won't live long enough to see this, but I can use the energy from this to recreate things. I can bring something back from nothing more than a memory."
"Whose memory? Your own?", asked Ike.
"No, theirs," Commander A replied, pointing to the towers. Observed more carefully, two people could be seen frozen inside the towers.
They were Ness and Princess Peach.
Commander A paused for a few seconds, as if listening to something, then spoke. "I have just recieved word that Commander C has made it into another world. I am needed elsewhere." He gestured with a hand. "Kill them", he said calmly. Two large, bloblike shapes came out of the towers, which were sinking back into the ground. Commander A vanished in a flash. The shapes became more and more defined, until everyone present knew exactly what they were.
They were Porky and Duon.
The Off-waves passed through the Battleship Halberd, turning everyone inside into a trophy. Inside the TARDIS, however, the Doctor, Metaknight, Lucario, ROB, Kirby, L and Mr Game and Watch were safe from them.
"How did you know we had your TARDIS on board the Halberd?" asked Metaknight.
When I first crashed in your world, I went out to have a look around. Found a lake, got chased by a giant green flying snake thing... Anyway, when I got back to where the TARDIS had been, it was gone. Later on, when I was on the Halberd, I saw the wreckage of Sora's ship on board in some kind of hold on a security camera screen L was watching. So no, I didn't, but it was a very good guess."
"So this box has shields strong enough to block Off-Waves?" asked Metaknight.
"Oh no," said the Doctor, looking at a screen, "No no no no no!"
"What is it Doctor?" asked L.
"I thought the TARDIS shields would block the Off-waves," said the Doctor, "But that's not what happened."
"What has happened?" asked Metaknight.
"The outside of the TARDIS has been turned into a trophy. We're trapped."
