Draco plowed through space, streaking ahead of the slower Spawnships. Cryos wasn't sure he could stop before crashing, but at the last second they pulled up and skidded for several hundred feet.

The rattled passengers slowly climber to their feet. (Or whatever they used in place of feet)

"Well, I suppose we should move out." Cryos said. "What kind of atmosphere are we looking at out there?"

"Seems ok." Pahrac said, looking at one of the panels on the walls. "The oxygen breathers may get a little lightheaded if we stay out there too long, but they should be all right."

"Let's go then." Kentra muttered as she pushed past them. Cryos traded a worried look with Zon before following.

As Draco collapsed into his lizard form behind them they got their first good look at the asteroid.

It was mostly barren, but small plant-like things dotted the landscape. Several Kelbrid holes were scattered about, but they were all old and obviously not used anymore.

Pahrac looked out over the steadily-growing mass of Kelbrid swarming all around them and gave a mighty roar. "ONWARD! TO VICTORY!"

That was all it took for the disorganized aliens to move out. They instantly changed from a slowly-milling group of snakes-like aliens to a massive killing machine.

They slithered onward in the direction of the blast of power. Cryos and the others had to run to avoid being trampled.

Before long, Cryos began to see signs of battle in the crowd ahead. Every so often they'd pass over the mangled body of a Kelbrid that wasn't one of theirs. These Kelbrid were larger and leaner than any they had brought with them.

A citadel was rising up in front of them. The collective roar of the Kelbrid was getting louder all the time until, without warning, the ground erupted below them and thousands, no millions, of Kelbrid poured out.

Cryos leapt into the air, dimly aware that everyone who could fly was right behind him, and Mewtwo had levitated all those who couldn't.

The battle was carnage as far as the eye could see. Kelbrid spitting acid, slashing, biting, some of the electric-Kelbrid zapping their opponents. Cryos even saw what could only be a Monskier. A gigantic, nightmarish creature with razor-edged whips for arms and a jet of flame spurting from its mouth.

The citadel loomed closer, Cryos powered up to Super-Sayian and plowed through the front gate.

After looking back to check on the others he looked around and found himself in a huge room made completely out of shiny metal.

He powered down (No point in wasting energy) and had only taken a few steps when the lights suddenly went out.

"I'M BLIND!!!!!!" Draco and Draco squawked as one. Cryos heard them fluttering into the air, then a series of clangs as they smacked into the walls and tumbled to the floor.

A ball of blue-white light appeared in the air, illuminating its holder, Mewtwo. I fear that The One may have filled his palace with traps. Our best hope for reaching him will lie in those of us that he does not know.

"Agreed." 16 responded in his flat voice. "We should split up."

"Split up? Why?" Cryos asked as he scooped the twin lizards up off the floor.

"Because," Kentra answered, "This room has quite a lot of hallways leading off. You can't see them because it's too dark."

Piccolo started assigning groups to the hallways. "Cryos, Kentra and Draco, take the rightmost hallway. Vegeita, Trunks, Pahrac and Narakoo, the next one. Androids on the next, Zeethra, Mewtwo, Draka and I will take the next one. And Zon and the Animorphs will take the one on the far left. Just remember no heroics, and no raising your power unless you have to. The One may know we're here, but at least he doesn't know out exact positions. We'll all meet back here in twenty minutes."

The teams split up and went down their respective hallways.

In the darkness, Cryos held onto Kentra's shoulder and tried to catch the pale gleam of her eyes reflecting off the walls. Eventually he tired of being blind and pulled the still unconscious Draco's tail. Creating a brief but bright flame before Draco woke up and snapped at him.

Suddenly, an energy ball came zipping down the hallway right at them. They easily dodged it and Cryos was about to launch one of his own back at it when he heard a voice yell, "Vegeita! We aren't supposed to be doing that!"

Cryos yelled back. "Trunks, is that you?"

"Cryos? Wait right there! We're coming over!"

In a few moments Trunks, Vegeita, Pahrac, and Narakoo were standing next to them in the darkness.

"How did we end up in the same hallway?" Trunks wondered aloud.

"Obviously this is a maze." Vegeita snapped. "We never should have split up in the first place."

"He is right." Pahrac growled. "We should all go back."

"I have a better idea." Said Vegeita and before anyone could stop him, he blasted down the wall.

"NOO!" Cryos screamed. "We don't know what's on the other side of the walls. It could be a trap!"

But when the dust cleared a single Kelbrid drone sat on the other side. "This is what you were afraid of?" Asked an annoyed Vegeita.

Suddenly a long tentacle whipped out, grabbed the drone and swept it back into the mouth of it's owner. From the shadows in farther end of the room, a Monskier slithered out. The giant breed of Kelbrid. It roared before spitting a jet of liquid fire at them.

Cryos grabbed Draco from his perch on his shoulder and threw him into the inferno. Draco reacted on reflex with his own cold, blue fire and the Monskier's mouth was suddenly plugged with a giant ice cube. The beast shook it's head and tried to spit fire again, but without anywhere to go the fire erupted inside and, with a rather large explosion, blew it's head clean off it's shoulders.

Cryos wiped the gore from his face. "Vegeita, I'll never mention you opening up that wall if you never tell anyone that we were just saved by Draco."

"It's a deal." The Sayian Prince agreed.

A flapping sound came through the air. What's going on over here!? A psychic voice demanded. Do you have any idea how sensitive these bat ears are?

"A bat?" Cryos thought out loud before he realized that it was the Animorphs. They'd turned themselves into bats so they could find their way in the dark. Menderash, the Animorph who couldn't morph, was following behind, guided by their psychic directions.

"I don't think we should split up anymore." Trunks said. "It looks like all these tunnels go to the same place anyway. Might as well go there together."

"Agreed." Rumbled Pahrac. "This accually appears to be on a Kelbrid design. The Camber of the Queen would be that way." He pointed down the hallway.

"Ok then," said Cryos. "lets get everyone together here and see what we can do about finding The One."

I can arrange that. Came Mewtwo's psychic voice and moments later he teleported in front of them with the rest of the group.

"Then it is agreed." Pahrac growled. "Let us proceed." He slithered off down the hallway.

It didn't take long before the reached a blast-door. It came down from the ceiling and made an airtight seal with the floor and walls around it. Cryos had seen a thousand doors just like it over the years, but what made it unusual was that they couldn't open it.

Cryos's blades shattered when he tried to cut it.

Draco's cold fire that made most metal shatter like glass had no effect.

Not one of them could budge it.

Mewtwo couldn't even teleport past it.

Cryos was just about out of ideas when Elfour piped up for the first time in days. "Cryos," She asked, "Why don't we try calling Washu? I'm sure she could find some way past it."

Cryos started to tell her to shut up when he realized that she was right. Washu would probably be able to find a way to get past.

He had Elfour call her up and a few minutes later, (Or the time it took Vegeita to bruise both knuckles) a wormhole opened and she appeared wearing a skintight jumpsuit with highly complex circuitry patterned on it.

"You like my new outfit?" She asked when they noticed. "I've been working on it for awhile now, for just such an occasion. It's a portable lab, powered by the force of the blows an opponent throws at me. Enemies attempts to attack me only make me stronger! Nifty, huh?"

"Listen woman!" Vegeita growled and rudely grabbed her arm. "Can you get us past the door or not!?"

Washu touched him with one fingertip and sent him flying. "Well, at least it passed the first field-test…" She muttered. "Now lets see what we can do about this blastdoor."

She held her hands out in front of her and a holographic keyboard appeared in the air. She typed at it for a few seconds and four red dots suddenly blinked on the door.

"Ok, I've located the weakest points of the door. If we hit all four of those points at once, it should shatter like rock candy."

"Mmm… Rock candy…" Muttered Draco and Draca together.

Cryos, Zeethra, Kentra and Piccolo took up positions at the dots and, on the count of three, punched as hard as they could.

The door didn't just shatter, it disintegrated.

Pearing through the gloom on the other side were thousands of eyes. Each set of eyes was owned by a robot.

Each robot held a wicked looking weapon, ranging from a simple knife to complex laser weapons, in each of it's multiple arms.

"Uh-oh…"
