The Master surveyed the small valley before him with an ominous, calculating eye. Starscream tried pointing out the obvious indications of Borg activity and was waved away as an annoyance.
Behind them, Brainiac and Lex Luthor were setting up a secure base with the aid of the Constructicons as well as the guidance of General Traag. All of this under the cover of a cloaking field that Krang had designed.
While the Master had been upset to discover the losses his troops had experienced when he had sent some of them out to explore the land in order to locate the Borg, he was somewhat consoled by the fact that the annoying Dalek had never returned and that the Doctor and whoever he brought with him would have equal difficulty facing the horrors of this place. And while he didn't expect the Doctor to succumb to anything in this wretched place, he knew his goodhearted counterpart would be hurt at seeing his companions fall around him. Then, finally, he would die, for the last time, at the Master's merciless hand.
"Destro is getting into position in the next valley. He will signal us when he is in place and then we can proceed when you are ready, Master," relayed the Toyman. Jack Nimball was the second Toyman, having taken the name after the original, Winslow Schott, had retired. He'd worked hard to get out from under the shadow of his predecessor. He'd even become a member of the Legion of Doom, which was something Schott had never done. Now, in this crazy land of dinosaurs, there was another Toyman. A Toyman that the Master had liberated from some kind of ghost planet or something. But he would so show them all that there is only one true Toyman, and it was Jack Nimball! "I've been tinkering around and should have some super-sonic rocket ships in a few hours. If you'd like, I can modify them to fire real rockets or make them in the kamikaze type, or for two more hours, I can have them do both!"
The Master waved the Toyman away, and the Toyman's shoulders slumped.
"Starscream!" barked the Master. "Show me where you have the scouts positioned. Soundwave, Tri-Klops, come with us."
"I have Dirge and Ramjet patrolling the skies in a grid pattern. Hopefully they will find some sign of Sinestro and the others that are missing," Starscream explained, hoping not to gain the Master's wrath. He had no desire to become scrape metal like Megatron.
They passed by the scowling Skeletor who was having Evil-Lyn mystically seek for Mer-Man and the eight Evil Warriors with him who had never returned and who the Master suspected never would.
After a few minutes they came upon a small ridge from where they could look down and see the small figures of Borg drones moving in and out of a tunnel like they were ants. Thundercracker was a few yards from them, looking down into the valley. Buzzsaw and Laserbeak were perched upon his shoulders also looking down into the valley.
"What is that? They have dug something up?"
"A vessel of some sort, Master," answered Tri-Klops, after his rotating visor helmet with its three artificial eyes settled on the correct setting for distavision. "Perhaps a space faring vessel, but more likely a water submersible that has been long buried."
The Master nodded sagely. "They are gathering resources in order to construct more equipment and assimilate more drones." He turned to Starscream. "Has there been any other Borg activity?"
Starscream turned toward his fellow Decepticon, Thundercracker. "Thundercracker!" he bellowed. "Any changes in their activity?"
The Decepticon turned towards them to reveal thin grayish tendrils across his features that seemed like roots. Similar root-like veins could be seen on both Buzzsaw and Laserbeak.
"What?" cried Starscream. "What is that? What happened to them?"
"They've been compromised!" shouted the Master as he pulled out his sonic compressing device.
Buzzsaw launched himself into the air toward Starscream, who screamed and smacked him away with an auditable clank of metal. Buzzsaw fell to the ground and Starscream fired multiple rounds into the infected flier, utterly destroying it.
"I-I-I defeated it! I beat him!" He was both shocked and surprised.
"Protect me!" shouted the Master.
Soundwave stepped in front of the Master and fired a blast into Thundercracker's torso knocking him over the ridge, but that was not a long-term solution since the robot in question was one that could fly. Soundwave's chest compartment opened and ejected the hound-like Ravage and the two twins, Frenzy and Rumble.
Ravage let out a growl as the canine-like Decepticon leapt onto the oncoming Laserbeak. They tore into each other as Laserbeak spun out of control in the sky. They crashed into a boulder going at nearly a hundred miles an hour just a few yards away from the Master. The boulder was turned to mostly rubble, Laserbeak wasn't functioning, and Ravage slowly limped away with what may have been a whimper.
"More approach!" shouted Tri-Klops, pointing to a small path leading up from the small valley that the Borg infested. The Borg drones were just coming into range and then they would be upon them and all of the troops the Master had mustered together. Tri-Klops' visor helmet rotated, and he fired a lethal beam of gamma rays at the drones. Some fell dead or were blown back down into the valley.
The Master ran with Rumble right behind him. The Master knew what he needed to do to survive. He just had to get there and the support he needed to do that had better damn well be there or there would be more than hell to pay. They would all be drones for the Borg Collective and the evil Time Lord wasn't sure that even he could escape from such a plight. Somehow, as he ran, he figured out what must have happened. Buzzsaw or Laserbeak must have flown down to do a close inspection of the drones and drew their attention. The drones would have been able to quickly remodify the small flier and sent it back to infect the others. Starscream was only spared that fate because he had already gone to show the Master personally what they were doing and was not there to be taken over.
As Thundercracker flew at them in his form of an F-15 Eagle jet, the Borg-enslaved Decepticon fired bursts of energy blasts that knocked Soundwave to the ground alongside Frenzy and continued firing a path toward the fleeing Master.
"Here me go, we lose today!" Bizarro, the faux-Superman, flew straight at Thundercracker and then -with a burst of speed- through him, causing Decepticon pieces to fly through the air as if due to an explosion.
Beams of light from the drones struck the pseudo Kryptonian who had stopped to watch the metal bits of Thundercracker fall. "Boo hoo! They like me! They like me! They really like meeeeeeeeee!" Bizarro disappeared as he crashed somewhere out of sight.
Those farther back had to deal with the drones. As the Master glanced back, Tri-Klops and Black Manta were finding that their optic blasts were no longer effective and had to look for cover themselves. Jitsu and Trap Jaw managed to get in close to the Borg with Jitsu throwing two over the ledge and Trap Jaw was effectively biting off the prosthetic limb of another drone. The Decepticon robots SpyGlass, Spectro and ViewFinder were merging into their larger Reflector form but that would not prove effective for long. The robot Chrome Dome was already firing on the oncoming drones.
Evil-Lyn used her mystical bolts against the oncoming drones with great effect until she was stunned. The Master continued on his run past her.
"Regroup at the base of the tower!" he shouted. Rocksteady, who had been dashing toward Evil-Lyn, turned and left her behind. He learned the hard way to follow orders regardless of what they were. Antrax, Krang's personal executioner, stood over two drones he had deposed of and quickly followed after.
In the distance, he saw Luthor, Brainiac and Krang climbing over the large antenna that the Constructicons had erected. "Turn it on! Now!" Luthor called out to the others while Brainiac moved to the instrument panel, lifted it up and made more adjustments.
The Cybermen formed a barricade with their bodies about two feet apart and fired at any drone that they saw while allowing anyone who was not a drone past them.
"Turn it on!" he shouted.
"Yeah! Turn it on already!" agreed Rumble.
"Allow a few moments to fine tune and we will be operational," the android Brainiac said to allow everyone know they just had to hold the drones back a little longer.
Grimacing in annoyance, the Master turned to some of those hanging around. "You heard! Stop them or slow them down! Unless you want to become one of them!"
General Traag issued orders and the troops moved. Blitzwing rolled out, firing blast after blast of energy in his tank form. Giganta grew to over seventy feet and picked up a large boulder to lob at the oncoming drones. Shredder charged forward to fight the Borg with his Foot Clan following close behind him. Skeletor rode on Panthor's back and fired blasts from his staff.
Beast Man was the first to fall stunned with the Cheetah collapsing nearby. The Toyman screamed as the small mini-plane he was flying in was struck and crashed into the ground with his parachute opening only upon impact. All around, other battles were being fought in a desperate move to hold the Borg at bay for just a little longer.
"My part is done," called Krang.
"What else is there to do?" said the Master, willing to lend a hand to save them all. The alterative was not something he was willing to accept.
"Just what I'm doing up here," responded Luthor, who had his head deep in a large box fifteen feet up in the small tower. "Brainiac already has everything set up, so it just lies for me to complete this."
One of the Cybermen exploded, which knocked over a number of people. Giganta, having been struck by many stun beams, staggered and started to fall.
"Stop her! She'll destroy the antenna!"
"Got it!" Captain Cold, firing his cold gun, and quickly formed a massive ramp, sliding Giganta's massive frame away from the antenna.
"Try it now, Brainiac." Luthor looked down confidently at those at the control panel.
Brainiac pushed the button and turned a few dials while examining the gauges.
The looming drones were within fifty yards. They slowed as if trying to walk through water. Then, as if a puppet's strings were cut, they began to fall or at least stagger incoherently.
The Master glanced around. The devastation wasn't as bad as he had feared. Most of his troops were unscathed. Most could be fixed. "What's the range?"
"Shorter than expected. Only eight hundred and thirty yards due to the rush," said Brainiac. "We should be able to expand the field in the next fifteen minutes."
"Chances of them overcoming it?" asked the evil Time Lord.
"Unknown. It will be easier to speculate after examining some of the drones currently in the field."
"You will have the opportunity," he said. He nodded toward Rumble.
"What?" exclaimed the short Decepticon, with surprise. "You want me to bring some of those things here?"
"There is no danger right now," pointed out Luthor.
Rumble turned and grumbled even as he obeyed.
Luthor continued. "We used your plans and made a few improvements."
"Improvements?" The Master raised an eyebrow.
Lex nodded. "The frequency that we are using to block their hive network is in constant flux, but without a pattern. We have added receivers and monitors to search for their signal so that if they do find a way to modify their signal, we will be prepared to automatically block it.
The Master nodded. "Yes, this shall work. Very good."
Krang walked over in his exo-suit. "I've called Destro, Leatherhead and Zorak's groups back. They haven't had an encounter with the Borg. They will also-"
"You did what!?"
"Ah, I-I thought you wanted your troops together. To secure this position better, Master."
"I might as well allow it now, you fool. The Borg would have monitored that call and now know their location."
"But-" began Krang.
"Cease your excuses!" he snapped. "Do not overstep your bounds again, Krang. Or I will crush you like a grape!"
The Time Lord turned from the cringing Krang to the unimpressed Luthor. "When Destro gets back – if he gets back – have Dr. Mindbender join you in working on some of our captive drones. I want to see if we can restore some of them to their former selves and gain some useful allies. Some of our forces were already injected with their nanoprobes so it should be easy enough to figure out. We should also see if we can use some of them as some type of Trojan horse to destroy them from within."
He left to think, leaving his minions to start up their assigned projects
¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`
"Pass the skunk cabbage," asked the grinning man.
He did so with relief. "Here."
"Have a leg," offered a woman to his right.
He held out his plate and she put a two-foot-long smoking spider's leg on his plate. "Um, thank you?" was all he could think to say.
"Make sure to try the toad stool sauce. It's an old family recipe."
He managed a grin and nodded.
From behind him a large lumbering fellow came over with a plate of what looked like the largest crab claws he'd ever seen. "Here you go. Guests first." The large man put two of the massive claws on his plate.
"Looks… looks filling," he managed to say.
What am I doing here? Rincewind wondered to himself. Oh, he knew who had brought him here. He just had to look over the Velociraptors egg soufflé to see the personification of Death, whom Rincewind had come to know all too well, at least in his opinion. He even knew why he was here. Because they had wanted a fourth player for a game in which they used clubs. He had tried explaining to them he wasn't any good with weapons but that just caused the smoking fellow to laugh uproariously.
But how had he come to this land? He had been minding his own business walking the streets of Ankh-Morpork when an elderly Troll, half blind by the quartz that had formed around his eyes, bumped into him. He hadn't been hurt too much by the Troll's rocky exterior, but the old Troll raised up a holler claiming he had been attacked. At the sight of the old Troll's family pouring down the street towards him like an avalanche, Rincewind had taken to his heels. He ran right past Death who was examining a small hourglass. Trolls were not known for checking out the facts and once they got moving, they wouldn't stop to check to see that he had on a pointy hat or read the letters on it spelling W-I-Z-Z-A-R-D. People, and even Trolls, tended to avoid messing with people in pointy hats in much the same way they avoided being turned into a frog.
After running down a few streets and down a few back alleys, he finally managed to lose his pursuit by ducking in a small oblong building that was only one room. His arrival had evidently scared away a few of the local Thieves Guild who were about to try take out the glowing crystals that were on a pedestal. Rincewind just cowered there until he heard the familiar sound of hundreds of little feet. He glanced over at the doorway to see a troll's rocky form knocked over by his rampaging traveling trunk.
As he had peeked over the pedestal, he could see bits of rock and possibly mortar fall around the opening. Yells and general outcries could be heard along with a great deal of scraping.
"YOUR LUGGAGE CAN BE VERY TENATIOUS."
Rincewind gulped. He knew of only one being that could speak like that. He looked over at Death. "You're still here? Didn't I just leave the range of mortal danger a few blocks back?"
Death shrugged. While he didn't technically have to be there to free each person or whatever's life essence at their time of demise, he did have to arrive each time a wizard was in mortal peril. Just in case. Wizards and witches needed to be watched in case they tried to undue their own deaths. They can be tricky that way.
"I am no longer in great danger, am I?"
"NOT JUST YET. BUT WE CAN HOPE."
Hearing a noise, Rincewind turned as he heard something at the doorway, but it turned out to just be his Luggage coming in to check in him. In some ways he considered the Luggage to be like an unwanted yet very loving dog that follows him everywhere. In others, it was like having a defensive, homicidal manic that takes out anyone that even looks annoyed at Rincewind. The Luggage looked at first like any other traveling chest someone might have at the end of their bed or in their closet or even up in an attic collecting dust. However, on closer inspection, underneath the chest revealed hundreds of little legs that could move at fantastic speeds. The Luggage itself was made from sapient pearwood which also made it impervious to magic and a few other indiscernible abilities which was because no one dared get too close to the animated baggage to learn what exactly they were.
Rincewind sighed. "For a moment there I thought I was in danger again."
The door to the pylon closed.
"AND NOW YOU ARE AGAIN."
And it had been one dangerous situation after another after arriving to this strange land that had rules that were unknown to him. He had even become separated from his Luggage and Death. There had been spiders, man-eating plants, quicksand, and even giant lizard creatures that didn't quite look like dragons or breathe fire. And then Death had come along and invited him to dinner.
"So, Rincewind, what exactly do you do for a living."
He nodded as he wiped his lips from the tadpole soup he had just sampled. It wasn't that bad. "Um, yes, well, I'm on staff at the Unseen University in Ankh-Morpork."
"Oh, really," said one of the women. "What do you do there?"
"Uh, well, I have a couple titles there. Let's see." He began to count them off on his fingers. "I'm the Professor of Virtual Anthropology and the Egregious Professor of Cruel and Unusual Geography. I'm also the Chair of Experimental Serendipity and the Public Misunderstanding of Magic. Um, Reader in Slood Dynamics. Let me see. There's a few more. Fretwork Teacher (don't ask). And an assistant Librarian, which is much tougher than you'd think. Oh, and the Lecturer in Approximate Accuracy."
"Lecturer in Approximate Accuracy?" said Herman Munster. "Why, you are the perfect person we need for our golf game. Approximate accuracy is the key to the game." He turned away and then turned back. "I'm just going to go tell Gomez. He'll be so excited!"
"Herman," said Morticia. "Would you mind asking my husband to keep an eye out for Cousin Itt? He should have been back hours ago."
Herman nodded. "Will do." He turned and left, hurrying over to where Gomez and his butler, Lurch, were turning large torsos of meat on a spit over a blazing fire.
"You know, I dabble in the dark arts some myself," said the one everyone called Grandpa. He really made Rincewind feel nervous. The old man was obviously a vampire and yet here he sat in direct sunlight, eating foods that included alcohol-soaked tomatoes, onions and even garlic. And most maddening of all was that he didn't talk in that awful Überwald accent all vampires seemed to pick up regardless of where they originated.
"Grandpa! He might not want to talk shop at the table," scolded his daughter, Lily.
The old vampire frowned. "Fine. No hocus pocus on this trip." He folded his arms in a sulk. "Killjoy."
He picked up a small hammer that had been placed next to his knife. Evidently, this was to be used to open the claws. He tapped experimentally on the claw with no result. He took the claw off the plate and smacked it hard. Still no results.
A hand reached out of a small box on the table and took the hammer out of his. With a flick of its wrist the claw shell cracked to pieces revealing the savory meat inside.
Morticia nodded to the hand. "Thank you, Thing." The hand put down the small hammer and then retreated to its box, closing the lid behind it. "It's all in the wrist," Morticia explained.
"Er, thank you?"
He looked across the table at Death who had evidently just said something funny because everyone was laughing, including Death.
"Oh my, you really must slay people at parties," gasped Lily.
"ON OCCASION." This seemed to bring about another series of laughs. Then he realized what was bothering him. These people actually liked Death! They weren't the religious sacred type of death worshippers that usually sought people out to sacrifice to Death. They were the 'sit down on the sofa and discuss matters over milk and cookies' type of comfortable with Death.
Even worse, the kids, Pugsley, Wednesday and Eddie were playing with Rincewind's Luggage. And as the Luggage chased them around the clearing, it would open its lid to reveal lots of big square teeth and a long red tongue that would wrap around them and suck them into it one by one as they screamed in delight. And after it had swallowed all of them, it would open up and let them climb out in order to start all over again.
He knew street hardened serial killers that ran at first sight of his Luggage. Trolls would even usually give it passage. Dwarves made sure not to accidentally point something sharp or pointy in its general direction because if they did, they could kiss their beards goodbye.
How could-? And then he thought he knew. "Oh no."
"RINCEWIND? IS SOMETHING TROUBLING YOU?"
"I think I've figured it out. I've died, haven't I? I'm dead and you didn't have the decency to tell me! That's why no one here is afraid of you. It's because they're already dead."
Death looked a little embarrassed. He stepped up from the table and led Rincewind toward the barbecue.
"SOME OF THE PEOPLE HERE ARE ALIVE. SOME ARE UNDEAD. HERMAN IS ACTUALLY CONSIDERED PSEUDO-ALIVE."
Rincewind shivered as Death had put his bony arm over the wizard's shoulder. "So, uh, you mean to say I'm not dead?"
"NOT YET. BUT GIVE IT TIME."
He gulped, as he tried to ascertain what that meant for him. "Then, ah, where on A'Tuin's shell have you taken me?"
"YOU HAVE IT WRONG. YOU BROUGHT ME HERE. AND WE ARE NOT ON THE DISCWORLD."
"We're not? Then where are we?"
"SOMEWHERE ELSE. AND SINCE WE ARE HERE, I'VE DECIDED TO TAKE A HOLIDAY."
"But-but-but-but-but-but you're Death!" he sputtered, as he tugged nervously at his beard.
"OH, I'LL DO A LITTLE WORK WHILE HERE. SO IF YOU HAVE AN ACCIDENT, DON'T WORRY. I'M HERE FOR YOU."
Rincewind began to tremble again.
"Hey! Look who I found!" shouted the bald form of Fester. At his side was a three-foot figure of long hair with sunglasses on.
"I wonder if the Dungeon Dimensions are anything like this?" Rincewind asked whimsically.
To be Continued!

Original AuThOr'S NoTeS: 11/9/2007
Going to have the baby any day now which is why I've been trying to write like crazy since I'm not as tense when I'm writing. The distraction helps.
Hope you like my first encounter between the Borg and the Master's army. It's going to get even hairier.
As for the Addams-Munsters picnic with Death, Rincewind and his Luggage – well, I'm building to a special moment I have planned for them.
Until next time.
