It started as a fairly normal morning at the Flynn household. Beatrice was humming to herself as she brushed her hair while wearing a towel, as she had recently come out of the shower. "I'm going to a BBQ. There'll be a pool for me to dip into." Beatrice said in sing-song.

"And Daniel will be there." Beatrice's sister, Bethany said teasingly.

"Yes, he's the host, and it's at his house... what are you getting at?" Beatrice said to her human sister.

"You got a crush on-"

"I should never have told you about the weird dreams I had when I was younger. I'm not even entirely sure if he is somehow, crush material. Now listen kid, either you stop making fun of me for having actual friends. Or a certain video gets uploading to the internet... you know the one I'm talking about." Beatrice said as she displayed a video on the palm of her hand. Showing Bethany kissing a young boy that appeared almost identical to Ferb, Bethany's cheeks turned a bright red. "You remember THAT memorable family reunion right, Beth? You got hyped up on sugar and you gave Cousin Llewellyn a kiss... and it wasn't just a simple peck, oh no. You went whole-"

"Please! I can't stand the embarrassment!" Bethany pleaded.

"Then please sis... DON'T try to make fun of me for having friends. You're bad at it, and I really... REALLY. Want to get to this barbeque. It's the first time I've ever really had a chance to hang out with my old friends from the YSI. And nothing, and I do mean NOTHING, is going to stop me from hanging out with my friends." Beatrice said adamantly as she stood up from her vanity.

"Then why are you brushing your hair? If Danial has a pool, isn't it going to get wet anyway?" Bethany asked.

"It's as much about presentation as it is about having a good time... or maybe that's less important than the time. Either way, I'm going to knock'em dead!" Beatrice said as she removed her towel, showing off her swimsuit.

"...so you can swim right?" Bethany asked.

"Yes! And I don't rust! How many times have I explained this to you?" Beatrice said in annoyance.

Beatrice was walking down the sidewalk to Daniels house. Whistling happily as she carried a towel and a duffel bag filled with snacks inside, clad only in sandals and a swimsuit the same color of her hair and eyes, and a pair of white sunglasses. She was looking forward to the party to come... that was when things immediately went downhill.

In the middle of the street, a portal opened and out of it. Two figures flew out, knocking over Beatrice. "You have twenty seconds to explain yourselves," Beatrice said in annoyance as the two figures fought each other. She got a better look at the two of them.
One was a woman with fair skin, silver armor that concealed her entire body from bellow the neck, some sort of metal mask on three-quarters of her face, a single left blue eye, long pointed ears, and long blonde hair, for some reason the right half of her head looked to either be shaved or burnt off, with the right ear looking torn up as well.

The other being also had long ears, but his arms were so thin that they appeared to just be skin over bones and nothing else. His outfit seemed to be a mismatch of whicker weaves, furs and robes, and for some reason, there were black obsidian-like rocks jutting out of his head.

"Finally... after so many years. I've caught up to you Cor'up!" The female being said, her voice sounding distorted and mechanical. As she and Cor'up fought over some strange magical orb.

"Look Ha'deer, I'm certain that after these long decades you would want to just want to kill me. But we've been through so much... I almost feel like fam-"

"BE SILENT WHELP!" Ha'deer shouted as she head-butted Cor'up, causing him to fall over and let go of the orb. "Finally... it's taken me eighty years. But I have finally recovered the Eye of Ma'gus. And finally... I will- what the?!" Ha'deer said as the orb literally slipped out of her hands. It then rolled over to Beatrice, who put her foot over it.

"Do either of you know what this is?" Beatrice said, her voice booming as her face was downcast, and emptied out the contents of her duffel bag. Which was a mess of chips, cookies, and even a platter of brownies all squished together into an unholy mess, that was also covered in lint.

"Treats...? That... that's what those were?" Cor'up asked.

"It was... my mother and I slaved all day yesterday, to make these snacks for my friends... and in less than a minute. You turned over twelve hours of labor into an inedible mess." Beatrice's face then shot up, her eyes burning red with anger. "So you're going to give me a VERY, good reason. Not to destroy this bauble." Beatrice said as she picked up the Eye of Ma'gus.

"NO! If you destroy the Eye of Ma'gus, it'll kill not only us but anyone else who isn't a native to this dimension!" Cor'up pleaded.

Beatrice remembered Sir Meanqy jia Leeash, an alien creature that, if she remembered correctly. Was from another dimension, so in all likely hood destroying the Eye of Ma'gus would kill him. "Fair enough... now just explain to me why I should let either of you walk away?" Beatrice said.

"Listen... that... THING, killed my family, and destroyed my kingdom. I've been chasing him for nearly a century, through the various Dimensional plains with the sole desire of avenging my people. But what of you... who are you to dictate terms to Princess Ha'deer?" Ha'deer said.

"Hmm... I'm just a simple robot who wants to make her own way in the world. And right now, I'm being distracted by Elves... now buzz off. You're bothering us!" Beatrice said as she spawned a missile launcher, using it to blow away Cor'up. "Now... would you want to come with?" Beatrice asked.

"...very well. Even if Cor'up is not dead... I might as well actually enjoy a dimension I'm in. This might even be fun..." Ha'deer said.

"Good, let's walk and talk. Also, you're not getting this thing back until I can trust that you WON'T do something stupid with it." Beatrice said as the two made their way to Daniel's house.

"Bea! You're right on time... and who's the Elven cosplayer?" Daniel asked as Jenny was grilling, and wearing an apron that said, 'Kiss me, I'm an Irish Cook'. Dave and Felicia were lying on lawn chairs.

"This is Ha'deer, a magical princess from another dimension... and she trashed the snacks mom and I made," Beatrice said.

"I thought I had made this clear. It was Cor'up's fault that I was even dimension-hopping in the first place. Blame him for your ruined sweets if nothing else." Ha'deer said defensively.

"Darn it... I mean I brought snacks as well. But I really like your moms baking." Dave said in disappointment.

"You brought nearly one for one everything Bea promised to bring." Jenny pointed out.

"That's not the point and you know it!" Dave said.

"And I was so looking forward to trying some of Mrs. Flyn's cooking... it's SOOO much better than my mom's." Felicia said.

"Just give me a moment lads and lassies. My dogs and burgers'll blow you lot out of the water. Speakn' of which, you mind removin' that mask lass?" Jenny said to Ha'deer.

"I... I cannot. Underneath this mask hides the disfiguring scars that have befallen my face. I can, however. Still, eat... if you would not object to my company of course." Ha'deer said shyly.

"My fair lady, you need not show us your scars if you do not desire to... after all. You are not the only one here baring scars behind a mask." Sir Meanqy said.

Meanwhile, out in the desert, the Vow of Vengeance had finally freed itself from being stuck in the sands. "Finally... it's taken us months. But we have finally gotten this old girl back into the skies." Uraaka said on the bridge to the leader of the Vigilant of Ic'thao, Ormphala Ty'raka.

"Propulsion systems are back online, and the ship has been cleaned of sand and other desert detritus," Sool-Aaris explained telepathically.

"That's literally what Uraaka said Sool-Aaris, don't be rude. But more importantly, we now have the ability to leave this wretched desert, and acquire the resources we need to further repair the ship, and replace what was lost when those teenage Humans downed the Vow of Vengeance." Ty'raka said.

"Sir, there's an unidentified flying object on our scanners," Sool-Aaris said.

"In what way is it unidentified?" Ty'raka asked.

"It's organic... but the sensors don't recognize WHAT it could be," Sool-Aaris said, and then Cor'up landed on the glass of the bridges view-window.

"So... your probably wondering who I am, and why I'm here." Cor'up said as he slid down the glass.

"Well... I certainly didn't expect THAT. Bring him in... I want to know if he can be of use to the Vigilant." Ty'raka said, eventually Cor'up was brought inside. "So let me get this straight... you're a Necromancer, from another dimension? And you've been chased through those dimensions by a princess from YOUR dimension for nearly a century. Keeping at least one step ahead of her until recently." Ty'raka said.

"Yes... that's literally what I just told you." Cor'up said. "And I might have escaped with the Eye of Ma'gus if that benighted automaton hadn't blown me away... blasted contraption was mad because of destroyed snacks." Cor'up said bitterly. This caused Ty'raka's ears to perk... or at least catch his attention as Yoral's don't have conventional ears.

"...did this automaton happen to have blue hair, silver skin, and had the form of an adolescent human?" Ty'raka asked.

"You've had run-ins with it before?" Cor'up asked.

"Yes... the first time had us thrown forward in time by ten years. The second saw our ship buried in the sands of this desert. Suffice it to say, to toy with that machine, is to flirt with death and disaster." Ty'raka said.

"That might very well be... what would you have planned?" Cor'up asked.

"We gather resources across this world to further mend the Vow of Vengeance. Then we take to the stars, and gather whatever ally's we can muster... and then burn the human race to ash, and ensure that their wretched species cannot rise again! Either through some sort of time travel shenanigans or through some foolish if well-meaning scientists!" Ty'raka said.

"I see... and I will provide what help I can to you, and your warriors in this endeavor." Cor'up said, hiding his disappointment that this reptile creature intended to kill only ONE species, as opposed to life on entire worlds as he had done.

"Thankfully, the stealth systems have also been fixed. So if nothing else, we can perform our raids without the Vow of Vengeance itself put at risk. The humans will be none the wiser that we're able to do them harm." Uraak said.

"Excellent, get this ship into low-orbit so that we might plan our next moves properly from their demise." Ty'raka said as slowly, the ship made its way into Earth's low orbit. To begin the war of the Vigilant against mankind in earnest.
