Wander over Yonder Season 3-12

"Wahahahahaha!" Lord Hater laughed while planting his flag of conquest into a rocky planet. "Another planet for Lord Hater! Greatest conqueror in the galaxy!"

"Hate's great! Best villain! Hate's great! Best villain!" Hater's Watchdog armies all chant.

"Excellent job sir!" Commander Peepers praises. "Another planet for the leaderboards!" Peepers says tapping at a computer tablet. "Sir, what monument would you like to see raised to commemorate this new acquisition?"

"Hmmm" Lord Hater ponders, "what are my options again?"

At once, Commander Peepers's tablet generates monument holograms one at a time.

"Sir, in the first statue option, we have you flexing a bicep" Peepers says.

"Hmm, I used that one a lot already" Hater answers. "And the bicep's too small. Totally inaccurate."

"For the next one, we have you blasting Wander with your powers. The look of anguish on Wander is especially good! This other one has you raising a flag of conquest up on a hill."

"The one with me blasting Wander is so good! Very tempting and satisfying!" Hater praises. "Next ones?"

"Next one is you planting your foot atop the galaxy" Peepers says.

"Ooh, that's another great one but show me more, I want to consider all" Hater asks.

"A statue of Lord Dominator waving the white flag of surrender your way" Peepers describes.

"Oooh hohohohohahaha! Love that one!" Hater says. "I've decided! Let's do that one!"

"Right away sir" Peepers agrees and at once, Hater's Skull Ship above drops a giant concrete block on the ground and several Watchdogs start to chisel away at it. What remained once the dust had cleared was a statue of an armored Dominator on one hand and knees waving a white flag before a triumphant-looking Hater.

"Wahahahahahahaha! Yes, Dominator bows in surrender to me! Lord Hater!" Hater mocks. "Yeah, you wave that white flag! Dominator or should I say Loseinator!? Wahahahahahaha!"

"...He's just asking for it at this point" a random Watchdog in Hater's armies whispers towards another one.

"Hey hey! I am not this fat!" Hater says of his sculpture.

"What? Your sculpture's stomach is totally flat!" Peepers counters.

"Give me six pack abs! I want abs!"

"But sir, you're bones under that robe" Peepers points out.

"I don't care! I want abs!" Hater demands with a pout. Peepers rolls his eye while Watchdogs heed Hater's request.

"Now it's perfect!" Hater lauds admiring the physique of his sculpture. "Well yeah, this is some fine work everyone. Whatever did happen to that Dominator chick anyways?"

"Last we dealt with her, she was hanging out with Wander and Sylvia" Peepers recalls.

"Bahahahaha!" Hater laughs. "Could you imagine? Being at the top of the leaderboards, missing out on the once-in-a-lifetime chance to go out with me, and then falling so low that she ends up spending time with those two annoying goody two shoes? Ahahahaha! Oh to see the look on her face right this moment. Gahahahahahaha!"

Just then, a ground-shattering impact lands atop Hater's sculpture right behind him kicking up great amounts of shattered statue and concrete dust.

"...That was her just now wasn't it?" Hater asks as the kicked-up debris dissipated.

"I-I'm afraid so, sir" Peepers confirms.

"...She's right behind me isn't she?.." Hater asks while a horned figure in shadow rises right behind him.

"I fear she is, sir" Peepers reiterates.

"...Told ya he was asking for it" the random Watchdog from before says aloud.

THE FIRST PLACE

-=episode title=-

Hater spins around to take in the frightening sight of Lord Dominator looming over him. At Dominator's sides, her legions of Dombots stood ready to fight for her come what may.

"It's been too long, Hater" Dominator says in the robotic voice granted by her helmet mask. "I seem to have made a mess of your cute little victory statue" Dominator notes standing atop the crumbled remnants of Hater's monument. "Here. Let me help you with that" she says picking up broken fragments and dropping them into Hater's palms.

Hater stares up at Dominator and Dominator stares back down. Dominator's Dombots do the same with Hater's many Watchdogs. At once, green electricity starts to orbit Hater's body and arms as well as build up in his fists.

"DOMINATOOOOOOR!" Hater roars hopping back before blasting a beam of his green energy towards Dominator.

"Hater!" Dominator yells back blocking the green energy with an armored forearm.

"Watchdogs! Open fire!" Commander Peepers orders and the Watchdogs draw their guns to unleash a flurry of laser blasts. With Watchdog lasers flying their way, Dominator's Dombots retaliate with gunfire of their own.

"Gah!" Hater lets out after Dominator's giant magma fist punches him sending him tumbling across the ground.

"Prepare to be squished like a bug!" Dominator threatens while her magma and ice fists turn into fly swatters.

"Aaaah!" Hater shouts before running, Dominator's fly swatter arms slapping down at the now-fleeing villain.

"Run you pathetic excuse of a villain! Run!" Dominator mocks. "Ahahahahaha! So weak!"

"Gah! Hot hot hot!" Hater cries after a smack from the magma swatter. "Urgh! Brrrrrr! C-c-cold!" he trembles after the ice swatter lands a hit. "I'm NOT pathetic!" Hater counters before catching the ice swatter with his hands. "I'm NOT weak!"

"Grraaaaaahh!" Dominator shouts in pain after Hater electrocutes her through the caught arm with his green voltage.

"Hahaha! How do you like me now!?" Hater quips just as the ice arm in his grasp transforms into a hand grabbing him tightly. "Y-you know th-this is r-really c-cold!"

"You poor thing! Let me warm you up then!" Dominator offers, her other hand transforming into a magma hammer.

"Agh! Agh! Aaaah! That really burns!" Hater whines as Dominator's hammer beats him down.

"There's just no pleasing you" Dominator criticizes. "Too cold one second, too hot the next! What exactly do you want?"

"I want you destroyed!" Hater screams breaking out of Dominator's icy grip, green lightning ejected in all directions. "Now feel the full fury of my power!" Hater exclaims blasting out a green energy beam with both hands.

With a palm up, Dominator blocks the green beam of energy but is pushed back by the continous attack.

"Do you really think I would ever take you back!?" Hater asked while maintaining his beam attack.

"What!?" Dominator asks angrily.

"Just because I dumped you doesn't mean you have to be all jealous!" Hater says.

"We never dated!" Dominator exclaims back before taking her free arm and blasting Hater with a freezing attack.

"RRaaarrrgh-!" Hater manages to get out before being frozen all over and encased in ice.

"Too easy!" Dominator remarks walking up to Hater's frozen person.

"MMgggrrrrnnnngggrrrmmm!" Hater struggles through his ice prison.

"What was that? You want me to destroy this pathetic planet of yours?"

"Mggghhrrnhhngggrrrmnn!" Hater struggles through the thick ice.

"Why didn't you say so from the beginning? That's exactly what I've been doing from the start!" Dominator says stepping aside to reveal her ship with its drill in the planet extracting Volcanium X.

"GGGggrrrrrmmmnnggggrrr!" Hater could only muster.

"And your precious little eyeball army is on the run" Dominator informs.

"Retreat!" Commander Peepers shouted from cover as his fellow Watchdogs were in full retreat from attacking Dombots.

"Gahahahaha!" Dominator laughed before spinning around and blasting a blizzard throughout the battlefield. Dominator's Dombots were warm enough to withstand the freezing winds but the Watchdogs were frozen at their spots.

"GGrrrrrrmmmmnnnnrrrrr!" Hater tried to protest but his ice prison was as cold and frozen solid as ever.

"This was fun but you've bored me now. I'm off to take the rest of this galaxy! Hahahahahaha!" Dominator announces before returning to her ship along with her Dombots and speeding away.

If he weren't frozen right now, Hater would be lashing out at anything and everything within punching and kicking distance.

As for Dominator, she had only just started: from one planet to the next, she easily overthrew one conqueror after another. On one particular overthrow, she had descended on a planet landing on a giant whoopie cushion causing the cushion to let out a long sound of flatulence. Dominator, after shaking her head at the giant, rude noise-maker, confronts Dr. Screwball Jones, a banana-shaped villain with a clown wig, swirly glasses, mustache for arms, and top hat.

"Lord Dominator!?" Dr. Screwball Jones gasps. "Had a smooth landing? Or did you find it a little turbulent?"

"Creepy clown banana thing! Cut it out with the bad jokes!" Dominator demands.

"Bad jokes!? You just need a sense of humor! Let me lend you a hand!" Screwball says before firing a pair of rocket-powered robotic hands aiming to tickle Dominator until surrender.

"I assure you, that'll never work on me!" Dominator guarantees easily slapping the hands away with a swing of her magma arm.

Watching this battle via television broadcast was Hater alongside Commander Peepers in one of their conference rooms. Hater's eyes shifted back and forth between the battle and the galactic villain leaderboard. On the leaderboard, Dominator was a planet away from ascending back to number 1.

"C'mon banana man! Don't you dare lose to her!" Hater cheered Screwball on.

"Oh no! This banana's been split!" Screwball announces.

"AAaaaagghhh!" Hater exclaims loudly.

"Sh-she won again!" Commander Peepers observes in mild surprise.

"And why is she so cool!?" Hater demanded to know.

Meanwhile, over at Dominator's Domship, there was plenty reason for celebration.

"Number 1 baby! Back where momma belongs!" Dominator celebrated upon witnessing herself ascend to the top of the villain leaderboard. "High five! Up high!" she directs at one of her large Dombot Knights, her arm held out.

The Dombot simply stared at her unsure of what Dominator was asking of it.

"Don't you know what a high five is?" Dominator demands of her Dombot.

"Does not compute" the Dombot responds. "High five order not recognized."

"Ugh! You guys are lame! Wander would have high fived me without delay" Dominator said.

"...Wander?" the Dombot asks.

"Wander, the orange-" Dominator stops herself. "...Just forget it, okay?" she asked simply before turning to her computer and typing away rapidly. "Should have done this long ago."

"Bot update in progress..." Dominator's computer announces. "...Update complete."

"Good" Dominator approves. "Okay, let's try this again. High five!"

"High five" the Dombot says high fiving Dominator.

"Good, you got it!" Dominator says with a satisfied smile.

"Affirmative, Lord Dominator" was her Dombot's cold and sterile reply.

Dominator's smile quickly fades: despite teaching her bot the high five, she just didn't find the gesture as satisfying coming from her bot as she did coming from Wander.

"...Back to work!" Dominator orders.

"Yes Lord Dominator" the Dombot agrees before marching away.

Dominator then has a seat before a display of the villain leaderboards.

"Yes! Woohoo!" Dominator suddenly forces out of herself before slouching back down on her chair.

Seeing herself at the top was something that once brought Dominator great joy but for some reason, her return to the top felt hollow. It felt as though something were missing but she just didn't know what. She considered getting back to just dominating more planets to extend her lead but she had lost most drive for it for the time being.

A small bot walks by and Dominator freezes it before shattering it with a fire blast. That too proved boring.

"You two!" she calls out to a pair of bots also walking by. "Start dancing!" she demands before aiming magma blasts at the bots' legs. "Ahahahaha! Hahaha!" Dominator laughed but this didn't last long for she was quickly bored once more. Tormenting bots who could quickly self-repair and who she believed to be emotionless minions did not make for great amusement.

The two somewhat-damaged bots quickly scurry off after Dominator's attacks cease.

"..Ugh!... Maybe I should go out like last time?" Dominator considered. "No, I tried that last time and it was lame! Friends are lame. That Zbornak was lame... Ugh!... I'm bored!" Dominator complains.

Dominator makes her way to an entertainment room and lazily grabs the remote to flick the television on. A cooking show was on but Dominator did not dwell on it long. She changes channels swiftly: a nature show, a sports show, some infomercials, programming selling coats. Whatever was on television was garnering little interest at most. Eventually, Dominator settles on an episode of 'The Galaxy's Funniest Home Videos'.

"Oh no! My ice cream!" dismays an unfortunate child after spilling their ice cream cone.

"Heh" Dominator musters up a feeble chuckle that is easily drowned out by the show's laugh track.

"Hey! Watch where you're going!" shouts an angry pedestrian after they're splashed by a passing bus.

The laugh track goes off as expected but Dominator couldn't even bother trying to chuckle this time. After glances at her lonely surroundings, a dangerous question had surfaced.

"...I wonder what Wander is up to?.." she asked. "I-I'm just gonna check up on him to make sure he's not up to something like trying to ruin my fun!.. That's all" she was quick to reassure herself on her way back to the command room.

To her surprise, her breathing suddenly became a bit labored and her heart rate climbed a bit. She ignored this while getting Bot 98's feed up on a screen and immediately, she sees Wander speaking to Bot 98 but no audio was coming through. Dominator sits still for a moment just watching Wander move his mouth before shaking off her temporary stupor.

"..Oh! Muted.. Duh!" Dominator notices before enabling sound.

"Fun house mirrors! Let's go, buddies!" Wander called out excitedly to Whirry, Beep Boop, and Sylvia before the four head into a house of mirrors. "Haha! Check me out!" Wander says standing before a wavy mirror which made him look s-shaped.

"Bot 13?" Dominator says noticing Beep Boop. "Didn't I destroy Bot 13?.. I think I did... And is Bot 98 out of his disguise? Has Wander been making friends with my bots or something?"

Dominator did not dwell on these questions as she began to sift through the large amounts of footage Bot 98 had collected so far. Dominator watched footage of Wander and Whirry leaving competition in the dust in a fun race of sorts and winning a little trophy at the end. She watched Whirry and Wander fly kites together and visit a fashion store. She also watched Wander and Wander's first Dombot friend Beep Boop eat ice cream together, ride a roller coaster, and ride a bike through a pleasant beach among other friendly activities.

Dominator almost felt envious of her underlings who seemed to be getting along well and having fun with Wander. She too had spent time with Wander not too long ago; he cooked for her and laughed with her watching people make fools of themselves on tv. He took her hiking to show her there was life hiding beneath a seemingly desolate planet, taught her all about wind leaves which the two then took on thrilling rides, and defeated Hater and Awesome together with little more than each other.

"That's why you're such a bully. You're lonely" Wander's words summon themselves all the way back from when right before Wander saved Dominator's life the first time her ship exploded.

Dominator squirms in her seat finding it painful to reminisce further before returning to Bot 98's footage. There, she sees Bot 98 saving Bot 13 with a portion of his Volcanium X and the absolute joy this seemed to bring to a tearful Wander who then hugged both bots tightly. Dominator would usually mock this sort of kind gesture but instead, for an instant, she wanted to switch places with either of Bot 98 or Bot 13.

But how could she? She had turned her back on Wander in the harshest of ways the last time they had spoken in person. A feeling of guilt suddenly surfaced in the pit of her stomach but Dominator quickly shook it off too stubborn to let such feelings last. Shen then switches back to a live feed of Whirry's spying.

"I love you!" Wander directs at the screen suddenly.

"Eeek!" Dominator exclaims in surprise falling out of her seat in the process. Caught completely off-guard by Wander's declaration, Dominator does not immediately get up. With breathing rapid, face feeling warm, and heart beating fast, she felt she needed a moment to calm herself down.

"That's right! I love you Beep Boop! I love you Whirry!" Wander went on, "you two have been some of the best friends I have ever had!"

"I agree with Wander. You two have been pretty swell" Sylvia agrees. "Especially for Dominator goons!"

"What should we do next?" Wander questions. "You wanna go skydiving!?"

Dominator shuts the feed down not wishing to see more. Though she had no mirror before her, she could almost predict what she must've looked like at that moment. Her face still felt warm while she sat quietly and near-motionless in front of a blank monitor for a bothersome amount of time.

Author's note: was hoping to get this done earlier so thanks for waiting! Real life stuff comes up sometimes so I gotta take care of what I gotta take care of.
