Apocalypse Game

A/N: Okay, your probably wondering why I have two dead evil characters from Beast Wars, well since the Darkness Council is made up of like minded umm.....beings who all share a thirst for evil and treachery. Artemis Fowl is of course from Artemis Fowl and the mention of the fairies is his fairies and they won't appear until End Game,and the character Lamora is of course my creation as well, she represents my true-life Girlfriend(sorta, in an odd way).

Chapter Fifteen

"Megatron?" asked Q, "But I thought after the Television series of Beast Wars and Beast Machines that he was destroyed."

"Television is different then real life Q," I said, "Besides the multiverse is alive with intricacies that not even you can see."

"So, what your saying kid, is that all this chaos is caused by Megatron who right now is on Cybertron waging war on the Organic Maximals?" asked a preturbed Calhoun, "But then that would mean that we'd have to face off against his Vehicons as well as any other beings who've joined the fight against the darkness, and who knows what evil lurks in the heart of men."

"Within the Multiversal Spectrum is a power that must stay alive," I lectured, "The book by Q, uh..... 'I Q,' that was true what happened and squaring off against Lady M put into effect a nice little thingymagig that enables weapons from the destroyed multiverse to come into Q's collection, and the continuum has Q guarding them and their under his house."

"Correct," said Q, "And with what we've got, there are weapons for all of you, we are going to hit Cybertron pretty soon, though I am going to have to rig a enough transwarp gate that we can fly the Anaconda and Excalibur through, that's our main problem, the secondary problem is wither to arm the X-force, theoritcally they are mutants, but because of the fact that some Vehicons have the ability to negate powers it might behoove us to give them weapons."

"Q," said Annika Hanson aka 7 of 9, "Only one ship will be going through and that is the Excalicon."

"The Excaliwhat?" I asked.

"The Anaconda is part of a new type of star ship," lectured Seven, "It is a Riboan, or transformer type, it can merge with any type of ship and merge both ship essences, now the Excalicon is both ships completely merged, the ability to hit transwarp drive and armed with Transwarp missiles, and level type 8nx7 shipboard outriged phasers. This type of class of ship was created after Voyager made it back home, with the on going threat of the Borg, Dominion, and who else knows us, these ships are incredibly powerful and can destroy a single cube with one hit, this was tested in simulations and in all five tests the borg cube was hit at 97 and was destroyed upon second Nuclear Plasma Torpedo. The Anaconda is registered as NX 2000, I have hopes that the Borg can be totally defeated with these ships. Now, as I was saying the shuttles are quite formidible, they have cloaking devices and can fire while cloaked, like General Chang's ship during the Khitomer Accords."

There was stunned silence for a minute, then finally Belldandy spoke up, "What are the chances of us dying on this mission?"

I turned to the people present and took out my sword and thrust it into the ground and then spoke, "I was brought here for a purpose, and that purpose was to fight a fight that I am destined for, as much as I would like it, I cannot in good conscience accept your help, Calvin has already died and Hobbes is still saddened by this death and I cannot and will not allow anymore deaths to happen. This is my fight and mine alone, I thank you all for being here, but now is the time where I must leave and do what is my part, what I am called to do, I am sorry but I must leave."

I turned to leave, but something was blocking the doorway, more accurately someone, he had redish brown hair and wore a whole bunch of weapons that made any respectable Klingon look like a kid holding a squirt gun.

"Wrong kid, you are dead wrong," he said, "We came, because we want to help you succeed, you can't do this by yourself, and I personally won't let you do this suicidal mission alone."

The speaker in question was James Tiberius Kirk, or to those who've read the Conspiracy Trilogy(Spectre, Dark Victory, and Preserver) Tiberius, or Anti-Kirk, the fact that he was here was something unexpected but foreseen since he was random shore in chaos which the Preservers had yet in vain to curb.

"Tiberius," I said with distain dropping on the whole name, "Why do you have to be here?"

"The reason my dear child is because you are in need of help," he said, "The Anaconda is made up of a select crew, 7 of 9, Chakotay only because he's in love with Seven, Icheb who is watching procedures to make sure that the ship is fitted properly, Wesley Crusher because of his brain, Captain Data because he's non-human and the only one knowledgeable on what's going on, B'ellana Torres-Paris because she's the best enginner we got, and of course me, because I am a double of Kirk and I am a savage fighter who is assigned to protect..."

He didn't finish saying anything because I had already up and decked him, showing him that he was no match for me, I was about ready to end his miserable exsitence permanently when I felt my hand draw back and then I looked up to see Yoda in the doorway, a frown on his face and his hand outstretched, his next words surprised me, "Tiberius is here because he feels that the Preservers are somehow involved in this....mess that the child prodigy Artemis Fowl has created, he wants to end the Preserver presence forever and help show us that he isn't that bad."

"I....Don't.....Need.....Anyone's....Help." I said, "Why do you all think that I need help, because I am the 'Chosen One,' because I happen to be a child, because I am young and I've experienced stuff like this before? Well I've got news for you.... I Don't!!!" I stormed out of the the house and immediately walked down to the lake to think everything over and how I had made a mess of everything, getting too many people's lives at stake.

"Let him go Tiberius," mused Yoda, "He is still upset about the loss of life from the child Calvin, but I think that letting him cool off and letting Urd go talk to him might help."

"Me?" asked Urd a bit bewildered, "Why me?"

"Because my child, you are in love with him, I see it written upon the inner reachings of your soul," Yoda said with a faint smile on his lips, "But you cannot let it get in the way of this fight that is yet to come, I have forseen dark tidings and doom if he goe's in alone, you must talk to him and make him see that his course of actions are not in the right."

"Uh...quick question to Yoda," quipped Calhoun a bit timidly, "Why aren't you speaking in your weird voice?"

"Because, that would be a waste of time and I for one don't see it as really truly necessary, and besides I hate sounding like an idiot," said Yoda in a matter of fact of tone of voice, "And Urd you need to go speak to him."

Urd nodded and then left to go talk to me, Yoda then turned and spoke to Strange,"Steven; you, Q, Tiberius, and Saber need to come meet with me right now, we have matters of importance that need to be dealt with," he said and then turning, he nodded to to Scott Summers, "You as well Mr. Summers, for this concerns you as well."

The six of them strode off in an entirely different direction to discuss who knew what and that left the rest of the X-men, Mara and Bell, and Lady Q to themselves, the rest of the X-men strode off to train for the upcoming battle using weapons, Xavier went to the kitchen to read, and Lady Q, Mara and Bell soon had food cooking in the kitchen with the assistance of Xavier.

Meanwhile I was down at the little pond that held fish for relaxation purposes and I was meditating when a figure's shadow appeared next to mine in the watery reflection.

"Hello Urd," I said trying to be cordial and trying to keep the sadness out of my voice, "Sit down and share what little peace I have before I go into battle."

"John, you have to get over this one man fighter thing that you've got going, you've got to get over the fact that you are no longer alone, you've got to accept our help because we care for you," she said trying to hold back her tears, "And you've got to at least let me go with you, because.....because I love you!"

That surprised me right there and then, I stared at her in the face to see wither this was another of her cruel jokes like she'd done to C'ven and I found that she was indeed truthfull, but I couldn't help the pang of sadness in my heart and I knew that telling her would be hard indeed and so I looked her in the face and said to her sadly, "Urd, do you know why I am wanting to go alone, do you know why I don't want to see any of you get hurt?" By this time I was standing up and getting ready to walk away and I had already begun to walk when she said, "It's because of Lamora, the girl in your coma-dream, you loved her and vice-versa, but when the terrorist attack killed most of the people in the chapel, she died in your arms and you took it hard that you wanted to kill all those who had killed her."

I stared at her in disbelief and felt anger rising in my chest as I took out Excalibur and brought it up to swing, but then stopped cold for what she told me next, "Bell told me of what was going on, why you were acting this way, because she was a casualty of war to you, a victim who was in the wrong time and wrong place, you loved her dearly and it saddened you and killed a piece of your heart when she died, and now it's been a year and it's still eating away, and you believe that by going in alone you can avenge her death so as you can live in peace." she looked on the verge of tears as I realized that she was trying to help me, I put away my sword and this time turned and walked toward her, "You must understand that I love you, not for who you are, but because you are going through pain right now and also because I can help, pain like this isn't supposed to be bottled up and kept secret, you loved her and you're still cying over it, John your going to die in battle if you keep up the brave front, at least I can try and eaze the pain a little."

Slowly I accepted her hug and then started crying for the first time since I had gone into battle I cried as we both sunk onto the ground as she continued to hold me, "I can't take it anymore," I sobbed, "I shouldn't of let that happen, I should of told her to stay home or play hooky that day, but now the pain is too unbearable and I can't take it anymore." I continued crying as she let the tears run down, then she kissed me on the lips, not a forceable kiss, just a kiss to know that she cared for me, then she said smiling sadly, "I love you John, we all do and we all care for you, but you have to realize that you're not alone anymore, you've got friends who want to help, I can only do so much, but together we can all work together." She put her hands in mine and immeditely I felt the warmth of human life that I had missed for so long and I then felt at rest and fell asleep in her lap.

Inside the doorway, Bell and Mara watched, both smiling as one had found love again, and one had finally found peace.
