The Grand Alliance

Lita kept running. She ran away from the enemies that Sailor Mercury had temporarily distracted. She ran knowing that finding help was her only option. After awhile she bumped into someone and both fell backwards. She picked herself up and looked at her victim. He was in an army uniform, with three stars. He brushed himself off and looked at her and smiled.

"Hello, Lita, or should I say Sailor Jupiter?" The general was not a man but apparently a boy or young man. Lita was shocked that someone she never met knew her secret identity. The general was somewhat cute, so Lita was friendly toward him.

"How do you know who I am?" she asked.

"I know many things. Come, let me show you." Lita walked with the general even though she was not sure of his intentions. She found herself trusting him somehow.

"My name is Leon Churchill. I am running a resistance group to counter all the evil that has been going on this plane. I know not why you are here or why I am here, but I am here to serve and protect you if need be, if you'll extend the same conditions to my allies." In her surprise, Lita forgot about Sailor Mercury and followed Churchill into the down pointing tunnel ahead.

"This is our base, from this tunnel we go underground to such a degree that the enemy cannot touch us." The two dropped into a room that had screens and control panels.

"This is the control room. Here the staff works out information reports as they get them and defend the base as well." The staff got up to welcome Churchill back. When they noticed Lita. They introduced themselves. They were only two at the moment, but their numbers would rise.

"Hi, I'm Hawkeye Pierce and this is Sherbet."

"My name is Billy and if you use Herbert please use it correctly."

"Sorry, he forgot his diaper this morning."

"Stop that."

"What?"

"You know,"

"I never played yuno."

"Never mind. Leon, the recruits are in the mess hall."

"Thanks, Billy, I'm headed there presently." And so he led Lita to the mess hall.

            The mess hall was a long room that could be viewed from the outside from a hallway with a window. Within was a long table decked out with food. At the table were several characters. At the first seat was Trowa and next to him, Quatre. Matt was sitting next to him with Gabumon next to him. Across from Trowa was the warrior Sage. All ate heartily. The unit at the end of the hall was the regeneration chamber. Inside was a healing Dinobot. Conversation drifted between the eaters, but mainly was about experiences. Matt was concerned for T.K. Lita was surprised at Gabumon, he was a weird creature.

"Shall I introduce you?" Lita was shy and preferred the quiet of the hallway.

"Come on. They are the allies I was speaking of."

"I can't. I don't know them."

"Very well, you do not have to meet them just yet." A new band came down the pipe and began getting off behind the two.

"Hello, Piccolo, have much trouble finding us?" Piccolo did not know what to think, he simply answered no. The food attracted Charmander, who began to help himself on the table. Quatre laughed as he was forced to dodge the flame on the pokèmon's tail. Charmander had found the meatballs. He defensively devoured them. Quatre busied himself with trying to make friends with the creature. Charmander, at first protecting the meatballs, finally came around. Meanwhile a heartfelt reunion was going on between Matt and T.K. Gabumon helped Tokomon get some grub. General Churchill left Lita for a moment and walked into the kitchen. He came back with a good-sized canteen of water. He handed it to Piccolo. Piccolo looked at Churchill and back at the water and took a swig. There was nothing wrong with it. He downed it, thanked Churchill, and, realizing he was among allies, began to meditate. Trowa looked at the Namek and understood that he was a person of great strength. Lita now entered the hall. She had remembered Sailor Mercury. Her entrance got the notice of Churchill, and he walked over to her. She told him about Sailor Mercury. Churchill looked around the room. All around seemed tired. Except two. Ryan Stiles made his way over, much refreshed from his nap and the lunch he just got.

Churchill told him, "Go up the tunnel to level one. Then do whatever the oldest person there says." Ryan's face had a questioning look but he did as told. Sage, who had entered the foot soldier battle too late to participate, was in his normal armor. Churchill found Sage and asked him to go where Lita had specified. Sage nodded and left. Lita was surprised to see things go so quickly. The chaos in the mess hall was getting larger. Lita too, was tired from her run. She presently fainted. Churchill caught her, and soliciting help from Trowa and Quatre, managed to get her to a small room with a cot set up.

            Ryan reported to the staff room. At this time Sage had joined in on the attack on Nappa. Pierce watched camera footage from a small camera on Sage's armor. "You must be Ryan. We got word that you were to join us. The general seems to think that you and two others will make us a well rounded staff." Pierce turned to talk to Ryan. Meanwhile William Herbert Hoover III watched the action and maintained communication with Sage. Ryan was overcome with what was around him. Hawkeye put him in a station marked "Local Defense." The monitor here showed the area around the building with the transportation tube. The knobs read things like "small remote guns" and "general warning flare." Other stations included "Recon," "Rear Observance," "Frontal Relay," and "Inner Security." Billy was at "Frontal Relay," where cameras taken to the front would give accurate interpretations of enemy strength. Hawkeye now monitored inner security. Hoover scanned his screen. Sage had met up with three males. He reported this to Hawkeye, who told the general via intercom. Ryan got too interested in his switches and pressed 'small remote gun 1' which fired into a tree knocking a boy out of the tree. Ryan notified Hawkeye, but before Hawkeye could act, Churchill entered and looked at the Local Defense screen.

"It's Robert Kerensky! How did he get in that tree?" Hoover rushed from his booth to see. Soon, Trowa was sent up to bring him in. Trowa picked him up and brought him down to staff. After meeting Hoover (Churchill had left), Kerensky was given the "Rear Observance" station, which monitored the back exit of the complex. As this was near Megatron's headquarters, it was a crucial point for sneak attacks. What Hoover missed though, in talking to Kerensky, was the fact that seven people had appeared in Sage's camera window and that Sage and Co. were going to meet them.

            Tenchi relaxed. His power receded. Winston looked around, but other than Sage saw nothing…wait, there it was. People, or something, were moving toward them. Hornblower reached for his pistol and kept it ready. Sage lifted his sword in the air.

And then, "Dude, we have a feeling that we don't need to fight." A green being, a turtle, it appeared, spoke. The racecar with them transformed before their eyes.

"Bow weep granna weep ninny bon." His head blinked while he spoke. The two little creatures, a bipedal seahorse and armadillo emerged from beneath. A man red and blue approached.

And, finally, a football player appeared, and said, "I'm Herschel, the turtle is Michelangelo, the car robot is Wheeljack, the little guys are Seahorse and Salamander, he's confused, and that is Spiderman."

Sage said, "Well, if you be friends, follow us to the base." Tenchi and Hornblower looked at their new companions. A weirder lot could not be found. Or so was thought at the time. Tenchi did not have time for any more thought as the building and the tube appeared before them.

            Megatron slowly calmed down.

"Data analysis complete, sir, each of the beings that we have fought's dimensions have been identified," Tuberoff recounted.

"Good," said Megatron. "Can we get more troops from those realms, Colonel?"

"I can retrieve from some, but not all."

"Get to work. We need more troops to crush the maximaloid scum."

Tuberoff agreed. "Accessing, Targeting, Routing." Forms appeared in front of Megatron: Rampage, Soundwave, Mammothmon, Warmanzymon, and Mercurius and Vayeate mobile dolls.

"I am Megatron, your commander. I'm sure that we will have no trouble tackling the force against us." Tuberoff smiled. They were set for almost anything. Further away, Sailor Mercury was imprisoned. She was chained with energy bolts to the wall. She waited and hoped for Lita to come soon. And yet this was not all. From Third Earth came Vultureman and Monkiean.

"When do we strike, mighty Megatron?"
