calm, peaceful farmhouse set among the backdrop of wheat, corn, and barley. This was the most beautiful place John, Will, and Penny had seen since leaving Earth. Penny turned, noticing the well groomed land of green and the large looming trees beyond the farm, "Dad, this looks like..."

The sound of a whining screen door opened and lightly slammed shut as four older people came out onto a wooden porch. All four were smiling. Penny recognized all of them, "Grandma!" She ran up to the taller woman with the gray-white hair, who promptly embraced her.

The other woman, older it seemed, shorter and rotund stuttered in warm emotion, "John, you've come home..." John walked up the dirt driveway past an old blue pickup truck and hugged her. She looked past John down to the end of the driveway, "And...is that Will? My how he's grown."

Will squinted at them all. His eyes slitted in the sunlight of happiness.

John hugged the mother, "Mom."

Will stood at the foot of the driveway, "Mom? Grandma?" He screwed up his face.

Penny called, moving out a bit from the taller woman, Maureen's mother, "Will, come on. Don't you remember them?"

John shook hands with the taller man, "Dad! Dad."

The heavier, shorter man with less hair, Irish looking, asks, "Where's our daughter, John?"

"Maureen," John smiled as if he knew she was just behind him or something, "...well she's..." John paused, "I can't remember..."

The lady that held Penny let go again, and smiled," Oh, she'll be along soon, I'm sure."

Will had walked closer to them now, "Are you sure she isn't here already?"

"Why Will," the rotund woman laughed heartily, "Whatever do you mean?"

In a barn, Kowalski was putting on a pair of jeans he found. Riley was eating an apple he picked from a barrel. Ski came up to him, "Those are for the horses."

"There are none here," Riley shrugged.

Ski dropped a pair of sneakers to him, "Put these on. Where did the others go? How did we get separated?"

"I don't know," Riley bit into the apple.

Barry Lockridge moved past a metal gate which was slowly opened. He ran across a blacktop pavement of what seemed to be some kind of airport or naval base. He found a small row of small rounded cubicle homes. Marines walked past him. He ran up to one home and saw a young Marine exit with a younger woman with black hair. Barry stopped short, "Mom, dad." The two people smiled at him. "Mom, it is you? It's me, Barry."

"I...I don't have any children."

Barry ran up closer to her, "It is you. You're my mother." He hugged her around her waist. She shrugged and reluctantly hugged him back.

"We weren't planning on children," she looked up at her husband.

"Son, I think you're really a runaway, huh?"

Barry moved away from the woman, "A what?"

"We don't want children," the man said, "Never did."

"Dad, it's me---Barry. You...you're Mister Lockridge, my..."

"That is my name. But...have...you been spying on us?"

"What?"

"If you have you'd know we don't want children."

"What? Is this before you ever tried?"

Ski and Riley stopped outside the door of the barn and saw corn fields. "Look, Riley."

Unseen but coming from the side of the barn, an overweight man walked up to them, "Kowalski! Riley!"

Kowalski laughed, "Chief! Curley!"

"Just Chief to you, Ski!" Curley Jones said.

"Did that crazy cloud pick you up, too, Ski?"

"What cloud?"

"I mean from some time----you...you were killed saving us. You stopped that renegade submarine but the explosion caught your mini sub...I mean I don't figure...I think it did. I can't seem to remember..."

Curley said, "Well, not to matter," he slapped a hand on Ski's back, "I'm back now and...do you know anything about a crystal?"

Riley whispered, "Ski, introduce me, you obviously know this guy."

"He was an exec. on Seaview before you came...before you came aboard."

Curley laughed and took off his sailor's hat, "Something wrong, Kowalski?" He said this in his gruff voice.

Will, in the farmhouse, opened a closet door while the others milled around a kitchen table. One of the grandfathers came up behind Will, "Looking for something, Red?"

Will turned, his eyes slanted and suspicious, "No, for someone. Dad and Penny may think you are who you say you are but I don't. We couldn't have returned to Earth."

John came up with his arm around his mother, "No Will but we may be on a section of Earth within the time-space continuum."

Penny was holding her other grandfather's hand, "Oh, Will, there's nothing alien here. You've been out in space too long, that's all. I mean it's been so long that..."

"Save it, Pen," Will snapped.

The United Space Ship Enterprise orbited the planet. Captain Jim Kirk, on the bridge, called, "Scotty! Is that transporter operational yet?"

"Aye, just barely sir," Scotty called back.

"Barely will have to do. Dr. McCoy, meet Mr. Spock and I in the transporter room immediately," Kirk clicked a button on and off. He stood up and called out, "Mister Spock!" He met the Vulcan at the elevator out of the bridge. The doors snapped shut.

Barry's eyes were full of tears. Mr. Lockridge took his arm, "Come on son, I will find a good home for you. Don't you worry none now."

"Dad, please," Barry pulled away from the grasp.

Riley smiled as he shook Curley's hand but he pulled Ski aside, "Ski, this guy's said he knew me. He couldn't have if he is who he said." Behind the two of them, Curley quietly found a pitchfork from the side of the barn and moved up on them, leveling the pitchfork. Neither saw this.

"But it is him," Ski said, "Maybe from a different universe that is like our own? I dunno."

In the transporter room of the Enterprise, Jim Kirk, McCoy, and Spock are on the pads. Jim said, "Energize---and hope, Mr. Scott."

"Energizing," Scotty pulled the levers down. The three men slowly vanished in three clouds of atoms. Scotty smiled proudly in his red shirt.

Will moved to a hallway door, "This goes to the bed room?"

Penny sat down to eat. One of the grandmothers said, "Eat up dear, it's healthy. Oh Will, do sit down. John would you like some?"

Will opened the door and behind it was a glass like tube within which was an immobile, shut eyed Maureen Robinson! "Dad!" Will ran and threw Penny's dish down, "Don't eat that! Dad, Penny, look!"

John ran up to the tube, "Maureen!" He tried to open the tube and began to bang on it, "Now, I can remember! Maureen!"

Will and Penny could now see that they were really in the control room of the Servo Actuator device. The grandparents became the Space Trader, Mr. Pem, Mallory, and Alpha. Nearby, they saw Barry standing in front of Olos and Fieldar. He was crying for some reason. Chronos rushed at Kowalski and Riley. He held a three pronged spear at their backs but Ski turned and grabbed it and punched Chronos. "You liars!" John turned to face the monstrous villains.

Pem smiled, "All of them are resisting."

Mallory smirked, "They can only try."

"Their worst fears and emotional traumas will fry their minds," Olos stated coldly and unemotionally, staring at the tear faced Barry who was just about on his knees.

John yelled at the tube, turning back, "Maureen! Maureen!"

Suddenly, James T Kirk, Len McCoy, and Mr. Spock slowly materialized. Jim and McCoy immediately saw a woman they both knew well. The woman was from Chicago in the 1920s of Earth. Edith Keeler, whom they had to let die to save the time line. Edith knew them well also, her graceful black hair and smooth face just as they remembered. Her innocence and caring ways gleaming at them, "Jim, Bones, you have come back to save me."

Spock was not affected," Captain, you are both seeing an illusion."

Kirk was crying, "Spock! You're the only one without human doubts----can is there a way you turn off what is causing it?"

Pem laughed, "He can't."

McCoy yelled through his own tears as he faced Edith's face, innocent and yet it seemed to pronounce him guilty, "Jim, he does have a human side."

Spock turned to McCoy, "Doctor, I would appreciate it if you would refrain from reminding me of my humanity."

Edith hugged Kirk, "You've given me a second chance."

Kirk kissed her but then his eyes grew wide. He gripped her shoulders and forced them back, "NNNnooooo!"

Stu, John Robinson, Ski, Penny, Will and Barry were cringing just like McCoy and now Jim Kirk were. Only Spock could stand without pain yet he, too, began to fight off his own illusion. It was of his Earth mother fighting with his Vulcan father. It was a verbal fight with insults slung from both sides. It seemed to him that the others didn't hear it but it cut him deeply to even suggest to his own mind that this was open to their scrutiny. This trivial scene between his parents probably wouldn't mean much to them but it hurt him deeply. Jim Kirk was yelling. He yelled, "Spock, you're a Vulcan through and through. You were raised on Vulcan, went to school there...!"

"Darth Vader wishes to see you all," a Saticon appeared from nowhere.

Pem was in a chair now, watching the proceedings, "Oh but things are so interesting here."

"We won't go," Chronos yelled.

The Saticon fired a jolt from his dark, gloved fingers and caused bursts around Chronos, who yelled, "I'm going! I'm going!" A blast hit his foot, "I'm gone!" The seven villains walked out. The Saticon watched the others fall.

Spock finally reached the controls and pulled the lever down. Everyone in the room fell. The Saticon laughed its creepy jeer, "I must tell the Emperor." He vanished, his laugh lingering. Kirk, McCoy, Spock, Will, Penny, John, Ski, Stu, and Barry were left on the floor. Maureen was still in her rube along a long row of tubes.

Outside the complex, an Alphan Moonbase Eagle transporter landed underneath the belly. A ramp came down from the Eagle spacecraft and out paced Americans Commander John Koenig and Dr. Helena Russell, the dark alien Maya, and behind them their pilot, the Australian blond Alan Carter. John turned, "Alan, you stay with the Eagle. We may need to get away from here fast."

Helena looked, "The source of the disturbances came from here, John?"

"As far as we know, Helena."

"Definite commander," Maya held a hand scanner, "This structure is a servo actuator which was built by the Draconian race eons ago. My father, Mentor, told me of such a thing."

"Thing? Maya, you talk as if it were alive."

Maya nodded, "In part it is."

Cautiously, the trio entered one of the doorways which slid open. An elderly voice said, "John! John!" In front of them were three men in Alphan spacesuits. One took off his helmet. "Hallo John," said the nearly bald Victor Bergman, the former elderly scientist of Moonbase Alpha.

John was stunned but put down his hand laser, "Victor, you died."

"Yes, John," Victor came up and held his arm and Helena's, "That is the best part about this thing--all times are represented---including a time when we lived."

"Who are they?" John squinted to see through the helmet face plates.

"Paul and Kano," Victor laughed, "John and Dr. Russell, Helena, it's been a long time."

John smiled, "Yes, it has."

Maya looked at the new trio, then shot all three quickly with her hand held laser. The trio fell. John quickly removed the laser from her hand, "Maya, what are you doing! They're friends!"

"No Commander, they're not. Look at them!" On the floor were three green slimy one eyed blobs.

"The Bringers of Wonder," Koenig gasped.

"They were using the device somehow," Maya explained.

"You mean this whole structure is alive," Helena looked around, "And it needs someone for it to run--or live. A symbiote?"

"Exactly. Whether or not the someone is good or evil is irrelevant to it. It doesn't know good or evil," Maya explained.

"We do," Koenig said coldly, "So let's continue." He lead them inside.

"Okay John," Helena shrugged. The trio moved on.

In the dark room where reddish walls pulsated a nervous Dr. Smith and the Robot were being questioned by Darth Vader. Smith gulped, "He was made on Earth."

"Yes but he is not of Earth design. Or at least he was not totally of Earth design."

A door opened and the seven villains walked in. Vader opens a tentacled door, "You and you wait in there."

"Me?" Smith gulped.

The Robot said, "You heard him! Move!" The Robot began to push him.

"What?" Smith asked, "How dare you!" The two walked past tentacles into a smaller room. "What is the meaning of this? You traitor!" The tentacles closed tight, revealing just a wall again. "Look at what you have gotten me into now, you..."

"If I may get a word in edgewise, this part of the device is organic. I may be able...to cause an opening in its skin."

"Go ahead then booby and try not to make any more noise than you can help."

Robot zapped the walls and the skin moved a bit. He tried it again. The skin opened a bit and it took a few more shots to make a larger opening. The two walked out, "Not bad."

"Bah!" Smith gulped, "Let's see if we can get out of this ...ahhhh!" The Female Robot, deadliest of the robotic species, all blue chrome, glided up to them.

"I...I cannot believe what my sensors tell me!" Robot stuttered.

The female voice was deadly and laced with evil, "Do not move."

Smith yelled, "Fire ninny!" Smith ran but the female robot catapulted a bomb at him. It hit the wall as he ran past the area. Robot had his arms out by now and zapped her with his electric bolts. She began to spin and spark. Robot followed Smith.

Vader stepped out into the hallway, "What is happening!"

A Saticon appeared behind him, "We are being invaded."

"By whom?"

"Everyone."

"The force did not tell me? Why?"

"It seems, ex-x-haulted master, that your f-force fails you."

Vader made some grunting sound.

Smith and the Robot ran outside onto a bridge between two sections of the device. Tanks were starting toward it. The tanks had swastikas on them. Nazi jeeps came rumbling toward the device. From the left part of the sky came a swarm of vulture men who began to fly down at the device. Explosions rocked the bridge. Smith yelled, "We're not safe anywhere!"

Betty and Sharkey ran to the two of them. Sharkey yelled, "Smith!"

"Dr. Smith!" Betty called.

"No! No! We're all going to die!" Smith ran to the other side. Robot slid after him. Betty and Sharkey followed. Smith ran right into a red faced monster man in a red shiny suit - Lemnoc, "No! No! Oh no!" He ran off before Lemnoc could talk to him.

Lemnoc tried nevertheless and waved a bumpy red hand, "Wait! I want to help you."

The Robot sailed by Lemnoc, "Pardon me, sir."

In the main complex, John Robinson pushed buttons, "I don't care, Captain Kirk, I have to get my wife out of here."

"Look, I'm from the United Federation of..."

"You've said that nine times already," Will frowned, not impressed with Captain James T Kirk at all.

Spock had his tricorder on, "Captain, I am picking up many odd life forms all around us. I wish to investigate."

"Very well, Spock. We'll tackle the problem from here. But don't be gone too long." Kirk looked to John who was pushing buttons.

As Spock left, the tube finally opened as the right buttons were pushed. Maureen tumbled out into Jim Kirk's arms. Kirk handed her over to John who called out, "Maureen! Maureen!"

In an adjoining room other tubes began to open. Spock roamed out into the hallway. Two plastic like Autons stepped out of tubes with bland faces. Spock used his phaser to blast them away. The Celestial Toymaker, a long robed, tall figure in Mandarin outfit, walked down the hallway with a jack in the box and a smiling Auton clown coming out of it. "Attack Autons!"

Spock raised an eyebrow. He checked his tricorder, "No life reading. Fascinating." He shot the Toymaker but this had no effect. The Auton with the clown face sprouting out of the jack in the box spit out a tongue. Spock dodged it and the tongue punched a hole in the wall. Spock ran.

Betty and Sharkey raced down a metal hallway. The box like Mechanoid chased them--flying through the air, spitting flame like a flame thrower. The two hid behind a new frame of the device. The Mechanoid approached and Sharkey pushed what looked like a gate that lead to the new area of the device. The gate hit it and the Mechanoid was severely hit. It fell heavily into one of the side walls and sparked. It fell. "We have to check the ships. Maybe they have weapons still aboard. Come on!"

Smith ran away from the Lobster Man, who slowly walked after him, snapping his claws. Smith opened a door and saw Mr. Spock behind it. Smith screamed at him. Spock winced or as near as a Vulcan could wince. He blinked and held Smith's shoulders, "I am not going to harm you. I am a friend."

Smith turned and saw the Lobster Man, "Then do something about...about th..." Smith turned back to Spock, "Can you?" He saw the Lobster Man but Spock did not.

"About? About whom?"

"Use your eyes!" Smith screamed. The Lobster Man reached a claw at Smith but Spock pushed Smith aside and shot the Lobster Man out of existence.

"Oh, Dr. Smith, I have found you," Robot called.

"Oh no, oh dear!" Smith gasped, "My worst nightmares have been confirmed. Not just one mechanical dunderhead on my hands---but three!" The Robot was with two new allies he picked up along the way----C3-PO and R2D2.

"Oh dear R2, we were only just reanimated--do you think it safe for you to battle?"

R2 made some kind of a whistling sound which only the Robot and C3PO could understand.

"Yes, I mean just you. Surely not I. I am not a fighter. I am..."

"Please come with me, all of you, you may be of some help to the others."

Smith ignored him, looking at all the robots, "I think I am going to be sick."

A strange sound occurred and a silver metal boy came out from another room, "Beady, beady beady. Is BUCK around here?"

"Oh no, another robot," Smith moaned, "I feel faint."

The enthusiastic little metal boy sparked up, "My name is Twiki!"

"Indeed, who cares!" Smith balked, "What a thrilling bit of information. Come along armor bearing army!"

In Tic Toc, the image projector showed the satellite-servo actuator. Ann noticed, "We've got the image back again."

General Kirk puffed, "Good. For a moment, I thought all existence was gone."

"It must mean Doug is there--as well as Tony," Ray said, "If that diamond is still with Doug, maybe he can replace it in that device."

General Kirk nodded, "Well, Ray, that's beyond our intellect. We don't know what will happen if he does."

"General, Ray, Ann, look," Jerry pointed. On the tunnel imager, they saw a Nazi army firing on the device. "Look at the armies!" Another scene showed an army of purple faced armor wearing Sobrams! Still another showed Sontarans. The screen blinked and then there were hordes of Sontaran storm troopers. Others included: Zulu warriors with spears, Mexican bandits, craggy faced Kralls, an army of ape faced gorilla-men lead by a gorilla guerilla named Urso and a blond ape man named Zaius. Spanish conquistadors lead by 1500 tyrant soldier Aquirre, whom they called the Wrath of God. Mothren, various Martian species, and more. "They're all converging on that place."

Security officer at Tic Toc, Sergeant Jiggs, nodded, "Doug, Tony, and the others --they don't stand a chance against all that."

General Kirk squinted, "I don't think those armies are all together. Too jumbled and not in unison. I guess they'll be fighting each other soon."

Ann gasped, "Some of them are horrible."

Ray looked at her, "I agree, Ann, and as scientists we're not supposed to feel that way--different forms of life should be seen as just different, not horrid."

"I know but can you help yourself?"

Ray laughed, "No, some of them terrify me."

Nelson, Crane, Tony, Jai, Judy, and Valerie ran around a corner but stopped running. "You again," Crane gasped as the clown, Dr. Lovelace, was in front of them, holding a machine gun at them. With him were Professor Multiple, Piper, Kobick, the Slave, and Keel. Multiple pointed, "Don't waste time! Kill them! Kill them! Kill them for stopping my deadly dolls!"

"Ewww," Val said, "Who's the raving maniac? Uh oh, The Piper!"

"Hello my dear," Piper moved up from behind his group, "So we meet again."

"You seemed to be more pleased by that than I," Val added, "And...Inspector Kobick? Our size?" Kobick just stared. Val looked at him and moved a bit closer, "Inspector, you all right?"

Lovelace laughed at her, "He's under my...our control, my dear." He raises the machine gun, unaware of the whizzing sound occurring. "And now it is time to say goodbye to the living!" He started to notice the groaning sound, "What the?" The TARDIS appeared between Nelson's group and Lovelace's group.

The fourth Doctor rushed out with Sarah Jane and the Third Doctor, babbling, "You see, I told you nothing to worry about at all--I told you all..."

Sarah saw the muzzle of the machine gun, "Doctor! Doctor."

"...nothing at all...oh hello...I'm the Doctor...this is Sarah Jane...this is the Doctor, too, Three actually, not Two, Two is shorter and more smart...well, I mean, I'm the Doctor, who are you?" He smiled.

The Third Doctor frowned, "He does go on, doesn't he?"

Nelson's group retreated behind the corner. Chronos, the Space Trader, and Mr. Pem came to Lovelace. Chronos looked at the Doctors and Sarah, "Shoot them! Those two are two of my race--the Time Lords! Nothing but trouble."

"Like you," Pem chuckled.

"So you are the one behind this, are you?" The Third Doctor smiled, "I should've realized the Master was just a pawn."

"He had the Joker and Penguin under his wing and he still failed," Chronos spat, "But now Doctors, the time is up for you! Shoot already, Dr.Lovelace."

"With pleasure but first, I want the girl." Lovelace smiled.

Sarah frowned, "I can't imagine what for."

Pem laughed, "Lovelace you old coot. You always were a sucker for the female race. So am I come to think of it. I seem to recall several times you were betrayed by..."

"Quiet, Pem, you do babble, too, don't you." Lovelace turned to Pem.

Val whispered to Nelson, "Can't we help them, whoever they are?"

"How? With no weapons?" Nelson stuttered.

Lovelace moved to grab Sarah but Doug Phillips, Don West, John Steed, and Emma Peel fell from the air out of the time tunnel vortex and landed on top of Lovelace, Piper, the Space Trader, and Mr. Pem. Keel grabbed Doug and shoved him against the wall but Mrs. Peel stood quickly and drop kicked the larger Slave. Steed turned Keel away from Doug and punched him. No effect. Mrs. Peel jumped on Keel's back and he flipped her away. Don grabbed the machine gun from the sprawled Lovelace and fired it near Keel's feet. The Slave and Keel backed off. Judy ran out from the corner cover, "Don!"

"Judy!"

"Oh Don!" Judy ran to him and he hugged her.

"Doug!" Tony ran out from the cover also.

"Tony!"

As Judy kissed Don and vice versa, Doug shared notes with Tony. The Fourth Doctor said, "Sarah!"

"Doctor?" Sarah looked puzzled.

"Yes, we're the Doctors. This is Sarah. Thank you so much for just saving us. We met Will and Penny, too."

"Was Barry with them?" Val asked.

"Yes, he was," Sarah smiled, "Nice children."

Judy heard this, "Then the kids are all right. Did you hear that Captain Crane, Tony?" The two nodded and smiled at her.

Don frowned at them all, "You sure sound well acquainted. Did she tell you to call her Judy?"

"I didn't call him, Lee," Judy blinked, "By the way..."

Mrs. Peel stood next to Steed but spoke to Don, "Don, you handled yourself rather well for a beginner. Are you in the spy business?"

Don blushed red, "Well thanks."

Steed told Mrs. Peel, "Come on." He and Mrs. Peel moved to meet the Doctors.

Judy watched the two move off, "Who is she?"

"What? Huh? Who?"

"The one calling you Don? And wearing leather?"

"Oh, that one." Don shrugged, "I didn't...that's Mrs. Peel."

"Oh good. She's married."

"Yes," Don laughed, "...but not to him."

Judy opened her mouth as Don laughed, "Ohhhhh! I can't..."

Don laughed, "Are you sure you can't?"

"Don West!" Judy frowned, "Spy business---indeed." She caught herself sounding like Dr. Smith.

Nelson quieted everyone down, "Please, please listen to me, all of you. Let's...let's find the control center."

Betty and Sharkey ran to the bay. Sharkey said, "We should have done this before. The Flying Sub." The two walked to the end of it and Sharkey opened the door at the back.

Outside, in the halls, Steve, Dan, Mark, and Fitzhugh ran from Omir, Raddion, and three ghost planet robots. Omir said, "I want them alive----for now."

Steve lead the others but ran right into Darth Vader---who stepped out from a larger adjoining reactor area. Steve backed up, "Whoa." He moved backward to Dan and Mark.

Mark shook his head, "WHAT is that?"

Fitzhugh saw Omir, Raddion, and the bubble faced robot men approaching, "Captain, we're trapped."

Darth Vader hissed, "What are you doing here! You are going to be destroyed!" Steve noticed Vader was talking past his group and at Omir.

Omir pointed a finger at Vader, "Darth Vader, you are powerless against our might," he said without emotion, without hatred or superiority. "You are not a machine---you only pretend to be one."

Steve pushed Dan, Mark, and Fitzhugh back to the wall, "Lookout! Stay back!"

Vader's light saber lit up as he drew it out and swung it, "Prepare to meet Darth Vader!"

Fitzhugh whispered to Dan, "I've never heard of him." He raised his eyebrows.

"Fitzhugh, be quiet," Dan whispered.

"Your Force fails you, Darth Vader," Omir flatly uttered.

Vader's light saber went out now. "I..I do not understand." Omir's pointed finger emitted a laser beam and destroys Vader in a puff of smoke.

Steve yelled, "Run for it!" Raddion was already holding Fitzhugh and Mark's arms in vice like grips. Dan was punching Raddion's back. Omir walked up to Steve. Steve dropped his shoulders, "All right, alright. What do you want?"

A blast hit Raddion's chest plate and he pulled it open, releasing Mark and Fitzhugh. Raddion found his tapes messed up and he began to pull them out. Tabor Ulrich, in his glide chair, approached. Sesmar was with him, hiding behind the chair. Sesmar yelled, "Raddion!"

Sharkey fired a laser gun at Omir's head and Omir's head blasted apart into sparks. Omir's body fell against the wall and his body blew fire out of it. Sharkey had on a back pack; Betty with him, wore a bunch of laser rifles on her shoulder and held many more under her left. She had in her right hand a laser pistol. Steve pulled Fitzhugh and they ran. The ghost droids started hurling bombs even though Ulrich and Sesmar were shouting at them not to. Steve ran to Betty, "Betty!" They duck as bombs blew up over their heads.

"Steve!" Betty handed Steve a laser pistol in a pack on her arm, "Here."

Steve shot two of the androids. A bomb blasted in front of him and Betty. Mark and Dan found bombs in Sharkey's pack and tossed them at the androids. Omir was sparking on the floor by now and Raddion was on the floor too, repeating over and over, "Master, done good, Master done good...I thank you, I thank you, I thank you."

Sesmar rose one side of his lip, "Oh shut off."

Ulrish pouted, "So another failure."

The Spindrifters and Sharkey were gone by now.

Dr. Smith lagged behind the Robinson Robot, C3-PO, R2D2, Mr. Spock, and Twiki. "Oh dear. I simply must rest. All this running around has...oh no!" From another room emerged a giant carrot named Tybo! "Nooooo!"

Tybo laughed at him, "The jellyfish type. Do you know where I can obtain moisture in this place?"

"Leave me alone!" Smith quivered.

Tybo chuckled, "That's no way to treat me!"

"Treat indeed. Stay away from me, sir!"

"The human body is mostly made up of water, is it not? Perhaps you can supply me!" Tybo moved at Smith.

"Oh nooooo!" Smith ran. Tybo laughed loudly.

Smith ran, barely following the good robot and Mr. Spock into the main room. John Robinson turned at them, "Smith!"

"Professor, save me! That carrot has come back to haunt me!"

"He's come back to haunt all of us, Smith." John looked at Maureen, who was sitting against the wall, "All right now, dear?"

"Yes, I think so," she said and stood up, helped by her husband, "I feel rested."

James Kirk frowned, "You may need it, Mrs. Robinson."

Spock nodded, "Indeed. This place is under severe attack."

Jim turned to him, on the ball of his feet, "Do you know by who, Mr. Spock?"

"Negative Captain," Spock answered.

Smith turned to the Robot, "He sound like you, you plated powder puff." The Robot's bubble went up. Will came over to them, not hearing this.

"Under attack! Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear," C3-PO said.

Will laughed, "He sounds like you, Doctor Smith."

"Indeed, William," Smith snapped. Will laughed.

Penny turned to see more tubes had started to open, "Dad! Mom! Captain Kirk! Look!"

Dr. McCoy said, "More people are awakening."

Jim moved to him now, "From what, Bones?"

"Well, the lovely Mrs. Robinson was in a suspended state," McCoy smiled at Maureen, who returned the smile, "...but inwardly, still functioning. I'd say they were chosen by whoever to not be part of those specimen tapes we were a part of."

"...not to be chosen seems to have humbled me a bit," Kirk said as McCoy went to check on the people in the opening tubes.

Smith heard that and moved over to Spock and Kirk, "You were on those tapes? Then you owe ME your lives."

Kirk looked at John who shook his head in disapproval but acceptance that this was so like Smith. John smiled at it. "Oh, and...who are you?"

"I am..."

"Beedeebeedeebeedee." Before Smith could finish, Twiki sounded off, "Doctor Zac Smith. Zac for short."

"Will you be quiet! You gentlemen, owe me and I would like to see if in return, you can grant me a free ride back to Earth."

Penny interjects, "But Dr. Smith--it would be out of our time. The Enterprise is from our future."

Smith glanced at her, "Hush, Penny. Earth is Earth, my dear. Time doesn't matter!"

McCoy called, "All of you! Look at who is coming out of stasis." Maureen moved up to McCoy.

In the corridor, a horrible, fanged, pale skinned Morlock jumped out and grabbed the blond Helena Russell around the waist. She screamed but the fanged mutant human being, wearing only a ripped loin cloth, held her and as John Koenig turned, it waved a whip. "Helena!" John Koenig shot his laser but as it held Helena, the shot was difficult. It hit the Morlock's shoulder and moved it back against the wall. The whip was in the other hand but it managed to use it to wrap John's waist. Helena pulled free as the wounded Morlock tried to hold onto Koenig.

Maya looked and stopped. In her eye was a large alien reptilian-gorilla biped, a combination of a lizard and ape...an alien animal from one of the many planets the Moon has passed by. Maya, as this creature, grabbed the Morlock. With one arm, she pulled the whip out of the Morlock's hand and threw it against a wall. The Future Mutant Monster fell against the wall. Maya quickly became her true self, "Are you two okay?"

"Yeah," John stood up, "Thanks, Maya." He smiled at her, "Helena?"

"Fine, John, just a matter of our daily routine." She brushed her hair back with her hand.

"Right," Koenig smiled.

Koenig's commlock came alive with the Australian sound of Alan's Carter's voice, "Commander!"

Koenig pulled it off his belt and hit it with his thumb, "Go ahead, Alan."

Alan explained while he fired his Eagle lasers, "Commander, the whole place is alive out here! We're under attack!"

"By whom?"

"Everyone!" Alan shouted as he fired at a Nazi tank, exploding it into a million pieces of flame and metal. "I'm trying to hold them back with the Eagle but there're a lot of em. Many have gotten in, past me." Flying the Eagle, Alan destroyed jeeps and tanks. A missile carrier rolled up to the servo actuator and fired three missiles at Alan but he shot them down easily, blasting them into hundreds of sparkling stars. Jet planes came at him. He looked out the window and shot them down.

"Alan, veer off and pick us up later."

"Commander? What about you?"

"Alan, just do as I say! We have to find out what's going on here!"

"All right, Commander but I'll be back." Alan flew the Eagle up and away from the many war vehicles. A thick missile fired toward his Eagle but a gigantic flying razor backed shelled turtle grabbed the missile and hurled it at a Nazi tank. Alan saw the flying turtle known as Gamera. It flew past his viewpoint, roaring a screeching, sound squelching series of roars. Alan was taken back in his seat. The thing was obviously helping him. But it was very big and very close.

A long, sleek, light colored vehicle called ARK II reeled across the desert. Jonah, a twenty old bearded blond, tall man in a blue but mostly white uniform drove. 18 or 19 year old Ruth, a Chinese girl with long black hair was co piloting next to him at the elongated front console .She wore a similar outfit but it was red and white. Between their seats, stood a chimpanzee that talked. It was called Adam and it wore a similar outfit. A Russian-Mexican boy, Samuel, perhaps, of 15 or 16 years age, stood near a radar outpost in the body of the ARK. Ruth asked, "Jonah, was it wise to pick up hitchhikers?"

Jonah smiled, "They stopped our land rover on its way back. In a sense, they picked us up."

Adam translated, "He means .. we not have much of a choice."

"But with all that's happened...?" Ruth asked.

"It'll be okay," Jonah smiled at her. She looked back at their extra passengers on the ARK II.

Behind them was Captain Tucker, Quano and his father the Ruler, Etrec, Niolani, Marvello, Thor, Mr. Farnum, J-5, Sagramonte, Zarht, Mr. O-M, Gitt Proto, Athena and Urso, Finestra, Keran, Guiliano, and Qexcotl. They were crowded together and not having a fun time of it with the exception of Athena and Urso. Those two, Tucker thought, would have fun in the middle of an atomic explosion, something he was only newly aware of as he was from the 1800s. Tucker ignored all of them but looked toward Jonah, "Fine cap'n, does yer ship possess any weaponry to speak of? We is coming up to the enemy forces."

Jonah smiled back at him, "With our force shield we can ride straight past them."

"I take it that be a no then?" Tucker guessed.

The ARK'S force shield noisily materialized its yellow countenance around the ARK. This blocked blasts from Nazi tanks. In a spiked tank, Hitler was yelling, "Destroy that! Destroy it now!"

Finestra watched explosions outside, "It's working. The attacks aren't getting to us."

Next to her, Tucker laughed," A fine ship ye have here, Cap'n."

Niolani frowned, across from him , "The attacks are focused on one area and we're rapidly approaching it. That's where we want to go."

Tucker nodded, "Right ye are lovely lady--the Robinsons are in trouble and its up to us to get them out of it." The ARK began to shake a bit from the outside attacks.

"After this, I owe the Robinsons nothing," Niolani scowled.

Tucker commented, "After this, there may be nothing...ever."

The ARK II passed tanks that fired on it. Large round spaceships fired upon the ark. Inside one, a round faced Sontaran alien yelled, "We cannot get past their defense shield."

Another called from a scanner screen, "Then proceed to main target without fail!"

Flying Saucers with guns on their bottoms fired at the ARK's top. Their rays bounced off and hit them. One spun out of control to hit the Washington Monument--which was in the middle of the desert.

Steve, Betty, Sharkey, Dan, Mark, and Fitzhugh ran past two battling factions. Knight like armor wearing purple faced Sobrams were lasering a row of worm-like annelid creatures which had flat topped heads and small claw like appendages. The six humans merely ran between, ducked as missed shots flew overhead. One Sobram lifted his helmet, "Who were they?"

"Follow and find out. Then destroy them." The lead captain told him.

Betty screamed, "Steve!" Little man shaped midgets with brainy heads and spiked fingers jumped toward the group. Steve smashed a few away from himself and Betty while Sharkey used his laser pistol to knock some more out unconscious. Betty started, "Steve, we have to..."

The sound of large, box like War Machines, drowned her out. Mark yelled, "Where is that coming from?"

Steve saw War Machines wheeling out from three corridors ahead. One came through a wall. Steve snapped, "Turn back! Turn back!"

Dan turned and saw a troop of Sobrams marching toward them, "No good. We have to get away from this madhouse!"

Fitz yelled, "But how? There's no where to go!"

The War Machines headed at them and began to spray a gas. Sharkey fired his laser at one, exploding the gun on the front. He then took one of the laser rifles off of Betty's shoulder and fired at it, blowing apart one of its plates. The War Machine that broke through the wall, was suddenly attacked by a living metallic looking tentacle. The tentacle wrapped around it and sucked it into the wall area which repaired itself. Dan asked, "Did you see that?"

The Sobrams stopped at a distance. One pointed, "First kill them. Then tear those machines apart!"

Betty saw the Sobrams, "Steve! Did you hear him?"

Steve threw a bomb, "Yes! We have to fight!"

The Sobram caught the grenade. Mark called to Steve, "I think he disarmed it."

Steve puffed, "How? I guess then we're through..."

The Sobrams lifted their laser rifles at the group. The War Machines that were left were bearing down on them. Sharkey blew another one apart but there were three more that he could tell. Behind the Sobrams, a leafy, rigid, ringed tree grabbed them. The warriors, caught by the silence of the new threat, were taken unaware. Triffid plants, living, mobile plant trees were behind the Sobrams. The plants possessed a stinger tail and used it on the Sobrams. Betty gasped, "How horrible..."

Steve didn't wait for Betty to finish. He pulled her arm and ran, "Run! Run!" Dan and Mark prompted Fitzhugh between them.

Dan yelled, "Sharkey, hurry!"

"Coming!" Sharkey shot another War Machine apart. The six ran past the Triffids. A Sobram shot a Triffid but it didn't die or fall. It caught on fire but it stung the Sobram anyway. The stingers were going right through the armor of the Sobrams. Purple blood was spewing over their metallic armor.

Mark looked as they ran, "These plant things are pretty slow."

Betty gasped as Steve pulled her past the inferno. Fitzhugh stopped and screamed. Sharkey ploughed right into him, not knowing Fitz stopped. Triffids began to surround them. Other Triffids managed to entangle two War Machines. Mark slapped Fitzhugh, getting to his front, "Keep moving or you die!"

The six managed to get past the plants to a new corridor. Betty was huffing near a corner. A hand came around the corner and grabbed her around the mouth. Steve heard a muffled scream just as Dan and Mark arrived with Fitzhugh and Sharkey. "You!" Steve faced two old acquaintances.

"Hello captain," the girl said.

"Thorg and Bryna."

Thorg let Betty go, "That isn't really my style.. We should have known you time meddlers caused all this." He held up his Space Time Manipulator---STM for short.

Dan looked about nervously, "Look, we don't have time to stand her and have a discussion."

Steve snapped, "We didn't cause this but we're looking for who did. We're leaving, so if you want to destroy us go ahead...if you want to help - help." The five were urged by Steve to keep walking. He followed last.

Byrna watched but turned to Thorg, "What's our next move?"

"Come on," he started off but a Morlock ran at him. He moved his STM and the Morlock exploded. Triffids marched down the hallways. Autons were firing their hand-wrist lasers at them but this had no effect. It was just as futile for Triffids to try to keep stinging plastic beings, for that is what the Autons are: plastic.

Bug like insectiods called Ovions pursued Admiral Nelson's group. They ran into the main complex. Here dozens upon dozens of people were recovered from the tubes. They were also recovering from their suspended state, blinking to awareness. Crane closed the door on the Ovions that were approaching. Judy saw her family, "Mom! Oh mom!" She ran to Maureen and hugged her.

"Judy, we're all together again," Maureen smiled and held her daughter out from her to see her smiling face.

Don smiled, "Glad to see you, Maureen."

"Don," Maureen hugged him, too.

Nelson was bewildered, "What is, uhmmmm, what is going on here!"

Crane saw the door buckling. "Admiral, our, ahh, pursuers?"

Nelson nodded, "Yes, ahhh, do we have any weapons in here. There are some..."

An Ovion forced the door open and came in. More were behind it and followed. Captain James Kirk aimed his phasers, having pushed past the many people, "Spock! Doctor McCoy! Full phaser effect!" The trio repelled the Ovions with massive and continuous phaser fire.

Valerie spotted Barry amid the masses, "Barry, you and Chipper okay?"

Barry hugged her, "Hiya Valerie! Sure! We're fine."

Jai saw a familiar recovering figure. He ran to the tube, "Tarzan!"

Tarzan stood out of the tube, "Jai? Is that you?"

"Yes," Jai hugged him around the waist.

Tarzan smiled, "It is you."

The Fourth Doctor looked at varied people from many ages and many planets, "Oh I see."

Sarah asked, "Doctor, what's going on here?"

"Oh, I don't know."

"I hate it when he does that," Sarah told Harry Sullivan and Turlough.

A man in a black dinner jacket shook hands with James Kirk, "Thanks for the fire power. Allow me to introduce myself. My name is..."

Mrs. Peel, at the same time, looked at them and turned to John Steed, "Steed, isn't that...?"

"Yes, I'm afraid it is," winced Steed, "The showoff."

"Bond," the man in the dinner jacket told James Kirk, "James Bond."

Batman and Robin stood up and straightened out their costumes. Batman tasted his own tongue, "I could use Alfred to get me some straight up milk about now."

Robin looked around, "Batman, these people are dressed really weird, not like those in Gotham City."

"Don't worry, Robin. Something tells me we'll fit right in. Just tell me if you see that chap in the red, white and blue uniform, will you? He always manages, somehow, to bother me."

James Kirk was being bothered by Harry Mudd. "Excuse me, Mr. Bond," Kirk told James Bond as Mudd kept trying to interrupt their conversation. "Harry Mudd, what do you want?"

"Jim, old boy, I..."

"Harry, old boy, wait. I want to introduce you to someone you'll like very much," Kirk smiled and said in his most convincing act-voice, "Much..."

"Oh really, Kirk old boy," Mudd smiled and trimmed his moustache with his fingers.

"Uh--Dr. Smith, this is Harry Mudd. I believe he owns a spaceship you can hire." Kirk smiled.

"How nice. I mean how nice to meet you," Smith shook his arm.

"I'll just leave you two to discuss terms," Kirk walked off, smiling, leaving Spock nearby, confused and raising an eyebrow.

Steve's group ran into the room, "Valerie! Barry!"

Barry turned, "Captain! Mr. Fitzhugh!"

Twiki ran past to greet Buck Rogers, Wilma Deering, and Dr. Huer who had Dr. Theopolus around his neck. "Glad to have you back, Buck!"

Penny looked around, "Will, isn't that...it is...Oggo! And over there...Verda and IDAK!"

Will turned to her, "Let's go say hello."

As Penny moved to Oggo and the two androids...well, Verda was partly human or at this time almost fully human...Will was stopped by a hand on his shoulder.

"Will? Will? That is you? You are Will Robinson?" A tall, black haired lean boy squinted at him.

"Davey Sims! I remember you!"

"It was a few years ago but I never forgot you!" Davey shook Will's arm and hugged him.

Will was engulfed by the bigger boy, "Dough!"

Davey pulled him back, "I want you to know. I'm in college now. I am going to be an astronaut."

"Davey, that's great!"

Bryna pulled Thorg over to a corner, "Thorg, I don't understand. What are they all doing?"

"Wasting time greeting one another." Thorg frowned.

Dan saw him and heard this. He moved over to Thorg, "So you decided to help after all?"

"Help? This lot? I don't anything can help this lot."

Dan nodded, "Hey Thorg, there is another Thorg or Throg or is it Trog? They have the same type of name as you. I think they are coming out of their suspended state right now. They are just like you. At first I thought they were of your race."

"My race? The Time...nice try."

"No really, over there..."

"Those are cave-men," Thorg said, "Thanks."

Dan smiled and walked away, "Maybe they're smarter."

Mudd and Smith were in the middle of an awful shouting session when Ceryano Jones, his jacket loaded with pink and other colored tribbles, pulled them away from each other, "Gentlemen, gentlemen, can I be of some service?"

Both Smith and Mudd shouted at him, "Nooo!" Jones covered up a tribble in his pouch on his jacket, shielding it from the shouts.

John Koenig, Helena Russell, and Maya raced inside and had lasers drawn. They put them away. The trio met the Robinson family. Don West and John Robinson knew John Koenig already. "It is you," Koenig said, "You and your family disappeared, what, when? Uhm, 1997?"

"Yes, that's it. But who knows what year we are all in now," John said.

"What's going on out there?" Don asked.

John added, "A lot of us have had quite a time getting here."

"It's a war out there, Professor," Koenig explained.

Helena added, "And everyone is trying to get to this room."

Mallroy was at a control panel behind them, "Not anymore!" He secretly, unaware to all of the others, slipped into the room and came to the panel. He pulled a lever on it, downward. All the walls slid away. Every room became one big area---combined. All the aliens left alive were now revealed. Mallory laughed, "And I think we should also have the valiant crew of the Seaview here...as well as the Seaview itself."

Nelson grabbed Mallory by the arm, "What have you done?" Mallory merely looked at him and smiled. "What have you done?"

In the peaceful ocean it was now in, the Seaview rested. Not anymore. Water dripped off of it as it rose out of the ocean. It hovered over the surface for a moment. In the control room, Patterson yelled, "Commander Morton! We're...we're..."

Seaview shot forward across the surface of the sea. Chip looked out the nose window and saw the calm surface of the ocean, blue and still, passing by, "...Flying!"

Doc ran into the Control Room from the back, "We're flying!"

Sparks turned from the radio shack, "And fast!"

Seaview flew over the sea, then a few mountains, past some cyclops giant monsters that were fighting each other, a few dinosaurs, spearheaded through thick and huge jungles, and finally headed over the desert. Seaview landed under the servo actuator device. Alan Carter landed his Eagle space ship. It was relatively more quiet now. The appearance of Godzilla and Gamera, who lead Mothra, Rodan, Godzilla's son Minya, Manda - a giant snake with small arms in front from a lost civilization, and some other odd shaped giant monsters made most of the other invaders and attackers leave.

Inside, Fu Manchu, an Oriental villain from the past, came forward and with a gang of Tong martial arts killers tried to take over, "Destroy anyone who even looks remotely righteous." The Tong tried to move in on the humans who were unprotected but Wonder Woman jumped in front of the innocents and lassoed many of the Tong members. Conan the Barbarian used his sword to kill many of the Tong. Fu Manchu was grabbed and held by the half robot, half animal alien Garm giant.

Someone that looked like Fu Manchu came forward, "Beings of the Universe. I, Ming the Merciless, leader of the universe tell you by what we have just witnessed that separate we will be defeated. But together..."

This time more listened. Creech, an ape like man in a prison outfit and the silver faced Mexican like bandit Chavo, several Gorn aliens, Zygon aliens who possessed suction cups on their entire bodies, and others perked up. They were at the forefront of a crowd of aliens and monsters, evil in their intent but not in their own minds, that moved toward all the good guys! In one large mass, in one large roar, the evil creatures and masterminds of the universes charged as Ming ordered, "Kill those who will not join us as one! Killllllllll!"
