Apocalypse Game
A/N: So, I've killed off Calvin aka: Stupendous Man, Skuld (on a technicality with that one,) and Belldandy. So now whose gonna die this chapter and in twenty? The answer is…… Wait and see, I don't give hints to readers, it ent proper to do or it ruins the story. Artemis makes another one of his brief appearances in this chapter where he happens to kill one of our people (I ain't telling who.) So sit back, read and leave me a review after chapter twenty.
Chapter Nineteen
I watched as the shuttles limped back into the ship for repairs and refueling, so far we hadn't lost anybody except Belldandy, but we were getting our butts kicked really hard. I had never engaged in guerilla tactics before and I began to think that it wasn't a good idea anymore.
I pulled out my com unit and put a call out to everyone, "This is Chosen one, I think its time for a new plan of action," I said, "I want all personnel in Ten-Forward in two klicks."
I then strolled down to the bar to see what there was, unfortunately this wasn't Enterprise and it didn't have G, otherwise it would be perfect. Then again I thought to myself, the Big E wouldn't probably still be around right now, the Big E. F would now be taking its place.
Half an hour later everyone was assembled as I gave them my idea on what we should do. (I don't fell like explaining it because that would take too much and time like that I don't have in this fan-fic.) I had decided upon a course of action that would best for us all, the shuttles would be assigned a patrol region and if they found anything of interest then they were to report it instantly and the Excalicon would be there immediately.
"I want a call in every ten minutes," I finished the idea with, "If we don't hear anything after half an hour then we immediately assume the worst and will try and find you."
Shelby wasn't really happy about that, but I told her that she'd already done enough today and she could stay aboard. The Excalicon stayed in the upper atmosphere out of direct sight of any telescopes or spy implements, but we moved around a lot, then at o 500 a call came in.
"This is Blue Version Scout to Big Daddy," the call came in, "Version Line has found something, we are transmitting coordinates."
"That location," I said going over the maps of the area, "That is centrally located, just might be Megatron's hidey hole."
"You think it might be?" asked Calhoun, "How can you be sure?"
"If you were a villain," I said attempting a joke, "You'd want to be central to the fight and to the story."
They both (Shelby and Calhoun) looked at me like I was nuts, but gave Morgan (Yes, I've got Morgan in Holo-form and no I am not bringing her back,) the command to set coordinates.
"Nearing within 50 parsecs," said Robin Liefler, "I am reading radiation that could be harmful to this ship."
"All stop," said Calhoun, "Morgan, what's your opinion?"
"You want my opinion Calhoun?" she asked with a smile on her face, "I'll give you my…"
There was a big bump and immediately the ship began to lurch downward.
"Report!!" I shouted at Zak Kebron.
"Energy beam manifesting itself as a tractor beam," he said, "We are being pulled downward towards that building."
"Lock on and fire!" I said, "Target beam origin!"
"Impossible," said Kebron, "Its energy shielded."
"Transporter room," I said, "Inter-ship transport to the holodeck!"
Immediately I was engulfed in blue and re-emerged in the Holodeck, "Computer, activate Package Gld Three!!" I called out as I went to the center of the room and a machine appeared, "Initiate sequence Omega Fld Three!!"
The machine that had appeared was the Bridge of Worlds, only this time it was modified to be a deflection weapon; I had installed it when I got on the ship as a possibility that it might be used. Now I saw its possibilities were now endless thanks to Megatron.
"Chosen One to Calhoun," I called on the com, "Target the beam with your defector dish and fire a beam of same intensity back at the source, if it works then we'll be free."
"Goldwood, what the heck is going on?" Calhoun asked, "Kebron is noticing a big influx of energy output from the holodeck, what are you doing?"
"Just trying to save our skins," I shouted, "Now does what I say or we're doomed."
Calhoun did and immediately the idea worked, the ship was still being pulled in, but we were channeling energy to blow up the beam originator, then I activated part two of the plan and an EMP blast of a greater 4 went straight down to where it was activated, immediately we stopped going downwards and hit reverse and got out of there.
I immediately teleported, back to the bridge where Calhoun was trying to repair minor damages on other parts of the ship.
"So what exactly did you do?" asked a bewildered Calhoun who was still trying to figure out how the Excalicon could use that much energy to break away. "What did you do that was so powerful?"
"Simple," I said, "I installed a Bridge of Worlds program in your main holo-deck for a time when it might be needed, and I simply channeled the energy directed at the ship back down to Megatron along with an Electromagnetic Pulse so as to prove why he shouldn't want to tangle with us anymore."
"You used an EMP beam and you're still alive?" asked Zak who by this time was beginning to become afraid of me, "How exactly does one use an EMP beam without harming one's self?"
"Check your instruments," I responded coolly, "You'll find a little program that wasn't on their the day before; I installed it to fire from one of the Phaser Banks, its offline right now so phaser's are operational, but if I have to use the Omega Weapon again then you'll be down to only torpedoes."
"Good god," said Morgan, "Child, I hate to break it to you, but you are seem to be the type of child who would be on someone's hit list."
"That's why Meg's wants to kill me," I said, "He's already killed my parents, he's killed Calvin, and he's slowly killing Hobbes because of Mara's accidental killing of Calvin."
I strode off the bridge to go down to find Urd and see what could be done about Hobbes.
"Well…I never," said Morgan who looked murderously at Calhoun, "It's no wonder Megatron wants him dead, he has no manners."
"It's because of who John is, and who Moke was," said Kebron without looking up from Tactical, "Moke happened to host the spirit of Thor, and during the battle with the Being's the Old one pointed that out, now the 'Chosen One," as Q and other's call him happens to hold another half of Thor's spirit, and that's why during that battle with that creature Moke lost his half of Thor's power and gave it all to John who now is completely Thor, he transforms only in battle as long as he has reason to fight."
"Harrumph," said Morgan, but she was pleased that she wasn't wasting her time being a faulty computer program when she could better off be dead.
Things were not faring so well for Megatron and Artemis, the EMP blast had done more damage then I had suspected, the lab that Artemis had set up had been destroyed when the pulse hit the lab and now they were without plans to set up a new plan of attack.
"This sucks," said Artemis, "That 'Chosen One' is going to ruin us all and our plans for Multiversal ownage will no longer be possible."
Megatron was disheartened as well and for an entirely different reason, he had lost a whole force so far to pitiful humans who were no match for him, (Not counting Fowl at least who was up to his terms in brains, brawn and ability) but still having a single human jump them and then lead them to get slaughtered by human's in aerial vessels was totally sickening.
"That does it," said Megatron, "I am going to call in some help from a few who owe me."
"Megatron, who owes you that much?" asked Artemis fooling around with a organics injector that he had planned to use on the test subjects when he caught some stray robots, "Who do you know that would want to help you that much?"
"Why Tenchi Musaki and his friends from Multiverse continuum One X One Three," said Megatron activating the com screen.
"This is Megatron calling Tenchi, Ryoko, or whoever is getting this call," he called, "If any of you can here me please answer."
A few minutes went by while Artemis fooled around playing Solitaire for about three times before an answer came through.
"This is Washu the Mad Scientist," came a voice, "What do you need oh Monstrosity of Evil?"
"Washu, we've got a minor problem on Cybertron," said Megatron, "I am being opposed by Starfleet, X-Men, the Goddesses and someone called the "Chosen One," and I could sure use your groups help in defeating them."
"You'll get your wish Megatron," said Washu, "We're on our way."
A/N: So, this is how it's gonna end in Twenty (chapter twenty), more of my friends are gonna die and Tenchi and Co are gonna be behind it. Who'd of thought that Meg's would be that evil enough to corrupt the very fabric of Reality be bringing heroes from another who support him. How is it that heroes can be corrupted by evil and want to join evil… Especially Megatron?
You'll find out in Chapter Twenty my last chapter and you'll also learn more in Apocalypse Game: Trial before Death (Book two).
