30 Worlds: Megaforce, Episode XV: "Code Name: Awakening"

CHAPTER SIX

In the Observation Lounge on the Ambassador, William watched as the other Rangers plus Kara, Alex and J'onn walked in. "Please be seated," William said. As they did, William gestured for Clara to begin the briefing. "We are now under seven hours until the Myriad signal reaches critical mass," Clara said. "I have scanned Fort Rozz and have determined that the control system for the Myriad signal is tied into Fort Rozz's systems."

"And Fort Rozz is damaged beyond any ability to fly it off planet," Kara said. "So we'll use the Ambassador's tractor beam to pull Fort Rozz into space then destroy it with our weapons," Sofia said. "Sofia, Fort Rozz is too big for the Ambassador to do it alone," Alex said.

"Then, let me offer my assistance," a voice called out. A cloud of red mist resolved into Scarlett. "I've put in a call to Admiral Nogura. Our backup should be arriving any moment now," she said. Out of the Observation Lounge viewports, ten ships of various designs came out of a dimensional fold.

"Bridge to Observation Lounge. We're being hailed," Zenon said from the Bridge. "Put it through in here, Zee," William said. An Asian man appeared on the Observation lounge monitor. "This is Commander Sato of the Scarlett's Army battleship Amidala calling DDV Ambassador. We wish to render assistance in the removal of Fort Rozz from Earth," he said.

"Commander Sato, this is Prince William aboard the Ambassador," William said. "We welcome your fleet's assistance."

And so, the plan was set into motion. Each ship in the fleet that was capable of atmospheric entry entered Earth's atmosphere and positioned themselves above Fort Rozz. Meanwhile, those ships that had to remain in space positioned themselves above the ships in the atmosphere.

In the central control room of Fort Rozz, Non stood and watched as the ships took their positions. A strange blue being walked up next to him. "What are those peasants thinking? Fort Rozz cannot move without assistance," the blue being said.

"Indigo, if who I think is in command of those ships is in command, we cannot afford to take these interlopers lightly," Non said.

And so, Non and Indigo stepped outside Fort Rozz. Moments later, Kara, J'onn and the Rangers appeared in front of them. "Just as I thought," Non said.

"You know what we're here for, Non," Kara said. "You're too late, Kara," Non said. "Nothing can stop Myriad now. Fort Rozz is stuck here, Myriad cannot be shut off, and there is nothing any of you or your friends can do about it."

"Wanna bet?" William said. "Rangers, power up!" "Megaforce Change!" the Rangers said before turning their chosen Keys in their Mobilates. "Ichigo!" "Kuuga!" "W!" "Goranger!" "Gaoranger!" "Nin'ninger!" William, Sofia, Mal, Chad, Clara and Lennier's Mobilates called out.

"Ambassador, now!" William/Ichigo said before launching an attack on Indigo. All twelve ships in the armada activated their tractor beams and targeted them on Fort Rozz. The gigantic ship began to come off the ground.

As the battle raged on, Non saw that Fort Rozz was almost to a point in Earth's atmosphere where the Myriad signal would no longer be effective. "Lord Xur knew that you would be trying this," Non said to Kara. "That is why I added a...what is the human term? An 'insurance policy?'"

Suddenly, a portion of Fort Rozz exploded. The debris struck one of the Scarlett's Army ships in the atmosphere. "Ambassador to Prince William! Urgent!" Zenon said on William/Ichigo's communicator. "Go ahead, Zenon," William/Ichigo said as Kara intensified her heat vision and slowly began to overwhelm Non's own heat vision attack.

"William, the Bishop has lost its tractor beam! Fort Rozz is falling back into Earth's atmosphere! Estimated impact: 15 minutes, but the Myriad signal will have reached critical mass by then!" Zenon reported.

By this time, J'onn had destroyed Indigo, while Kara's heat vision had lobotomized Non, causing his lifeless body to fall to the ground. "Kara, you have to get Fort Rozz out of Earth's atmosphere enough so that we can destroy it with our weapons!" William/Ichigo said before he powered down.

"But if she goes into space, she'll die!" Sofia/Kuuga said as she too powered down. "It's a chance I'll have to take," Kara said before racing into the sky.

As the other Rangers powered down themselves, William looked into the sky as Kara's trail began to dissipate. Suddenly, something sped past at the periphery of William's vision.

On the Bridge of the Ambassador, Zenon sat in the command chair as Fort Rozz became visible. Zenon looked on in horror as she saw Kara give one last burst of strength, sending Fort Rozz out of the atmosphere. At Tactical, Ferb Fletcher reported, "Fort Rozz has cleared Earth's atmosphere, Zenon. It is safe to destroy it with our weaponry."

"Okay, Ferb. This is Ensign Zenon Kar in forward command of the DDV Ambassador," Zenon said. "All Army weapons, lock on and FIRE!"

Kara smiled a weak smile as she saw all of the ships open fire on and destroy Fort Rozz. "I can die happy," she said before beginning to lose consciousness. However, before she did, she caught a glimpse of something...familiar...coming towards her. However, Kara could not get a good look at it before she simply...blacked out.
