Wander over Yonder Season 3-25
The Dommech, a robotic transformation of the Domship, was a formidable war machine sporting a humanoid configuration and was currently wielding a great long sword. With this sword, it had stabbed through its adversary, the Doom Moon, before lifting it up by her blade and hurling it through the air violently. The Doom Moon hit the ground before tumbling across the land. Given its spherical shape, it weathered this relatively well but the passengers inside didn't fare as comfortably.
Peepers tried his best to hang onto his seat, Lord Hater is tossed across the same room to hit one wall only to hit the opposite wall a second later. Sourdough's Beefeater bodyguard skillfully holds his evil sandwich overlord close as he rolls into most of the turbulent movements of the Doom Moon. Something the So and So successfully held on to a railing during the violent upheavals while in the engine room, Dominator used the claws of her armor to latch onto a large engine while Wander and Sylvia bounced around cushioned by their bubble.
"Woo! Yeah! You feel that!?" an excited Dominator asked aloud, "our Dommech is raising heck!"

THE DOMMECH
-=episode title=-
"Haha! I think everyone felt that one!" Sylvia joins in on celebrations.
Back in the command room, all were scrambling trying to get back in order while the Dommech approached menacingly.
"Everyone! Man your battle stations!" Peepers shouts as he ran towards his station and began furious typing.
The Dommech outside approached slowly before breaking out into a fast run, sword positioned for a swing.
"Prepare for your destruction, Dominator mech!" Sourdough shouts as his bodyguard joined Peepers in typing up orders.
The Doom Moon gathered itself and stood back up on its metallic legs. Compartments on its body open up and a salvo of rockets poke out.
"Fire!" Peepers screams and the rockets immediately fly out leaving smoke trails as they lock on to the Dommech.
The Dommech draws her blade back as the rockets approach. She swings it forwards speedily at the cluster of rockets once they came within range exploding them in mid-air and leaving a large cloud of dark smoke behind. The Dommech walks through this large cloud unscathed.
"Gaaah! Didn't work!" Hater nearly panics.
"Keep firing!" Peepers demands and more rockets fly out. Once more, the Dommech draws her blade back and with several swings cuts the rockets to ribbons. The rockets explode leaving behind another cloud of smoke for the Dommech to walk out of looking cool.
"This isn't working!" Hater complains impatiently. "We're just making it look cool!"
"Then we'll overwhelm her with rockets! Fire all remaining rockets at once!" Sourdough orders.
"I think we're all out" Something the So and So said reading his monitor.
"Impossible!" Peepers responds. "We were fully stocked up and we're already out!?"
"R-reader says all out" Something reiterates. "I think we used them all up on that last attack. Sorry."
The Dommech closes in and swings her sword but the Doom Moon backs away rapidly getting just out of reach.
"Dodge it! Dodge it!" Hater demands.
"I'm dodging! I'm dodging!" Peepers exclaims. "What!? The legs locked up!" he shouts while tapping keys frantically.
"What!?" Hater screams.
With the Doom Moon's legs paralyzed, the Dommech gets close enough to land a swing and tear apart a horizontal gash in the Doom Moon's front.
"AAAAaaaah!" Hater panics.
Before the Dommech could land another cut, the Doom Moon sprouts two arms and punches its attacker away.
"This thing has arms!?" Hater asks.
"Yes but we try to keep them tucked away when not needed" Peepers explains.
"Why wasn't I informed of this?" Hater asks.
"Because you're an imbecile!" Sourdough insults.
"Grrrr! I am not!" Hater objects.
"Then make yourself useful and go check up on the engine room!" Sourdough demands.
"Sir! Our ship's legs are locking up!" Peepers alerts. "Please check on the engine room! Lord Dominator could be sabotaging us! I'll send troops there to assist!" he says while typing away at his workstation.
"Oh, right. Lord Dominator" Hater says. "I'll take care of her! I don't care how in love she is with me, I'll show her no mercy!" he says before finally exiting.
"...He doesn't actually believe that does he?" Sourdough asks Peepers. "That Dominator likes him?"
"Sadly, I think he does" Peepers regrets to say, "but I trust he can get things right every once in a while. He did quite a number against Dominator once before! Destroyed her ship and all."
"He got lucky ONCE! All other times, he's been on the losing end. Not odds I want to bank on" Sourdough condemns. "All air battalions, deploy at once! Destroy this Dominator robot menace!"
As ordered by the evil sandwich, several attack planes fly out of the Doom Moon's body and advance on the Dommech. They fire several air-to-air missiles at the Dommech which explode after crashing into her. The Dommech recovers from these attacks and proceeds to shoot several attack planes down after firing missiles from its wrists in retaliation.
Meanwhile in the engine room, Beep Boop and the other Dombots were assisting Dominator in typing up malicious SEMS code. Standing by observing curiously were Wander and Sylvia.
"I think I have this syntax right" Dominator directs at Beep Boop.
"A semicolon does not go there" Beep Boop corrects.
"Oh right! A colon goes there. Right" Dominator acknowledges as she types.
Just then, the double doors to the room burst open to reveal a throng of Watchdogs, Fist Fighters, and some Beefeaters. At the head of this mass of visitors was Lord Hater looking very angry.
"Lord Dominator!" Hater exclaims enraged, green volts of power radiating from his body. "How dare you!?"
"Lord Hater!" Dominator responds. "I've been waiting for you!"
"..Y-you have?.. I-I mean you have! Of course you have!" Hater says. "Why wouldn't you be?"
"Been waiting to do THIS!" Dominator says blasting Hater with her ice powers and freezing him over. "Bahahahahaha!"
"GGrrrrr!" a now-frozen Hater growled. Burning with hot anger, the ice quickly melted freeing him. "DOMINATOOORR! GET OUUTTT!" Hater shouts angrily flying towards the laughing villainess with such force, he seizes Dominator and the two break out of the Doom Moon and crash land on the ground outside.
Dominator was greatly surprised: she knew Hater was powerful but she always thought of him as too stupid to ever do anything meaningful with all his abilities.
"You want a piece of me, Hater!?" Dominator challenges. "Bring it on!"
"We're outnumbered!" Wander alerts as the throng of henchmen begin to rush into the engine room.
"Then we're getting out of here" Sylvia says as she and Wander float out of the Doom Moon to join Dominator's side. Beep Boop and fellow Dombots also exit the ship.
"Lord Dominator! You were always the jealous type! Always envious of my success!" Hater accuses. "And always secretly in love with me!"
Dominator moved to object but figured it was pointless. "You ever get sick of talking? Of being wrong? Learn when to just shut up!"
Dominator's arm transforms into a large cannon before heavy magma cannonballs exploded out of it. Hater punches the cannonballs breaking them apart before taking flight, his rock-hard skull breaking up any more incoming projectiles before headbutting Dominator.
"Gggaaarrrhh!" Dominator lets out as Hater's skull crashes into her gut knocking some of the wind out of her. Joining both hands, Dominator encases her hands in a large magma rock, lifts it up above her head, and finally sends it falling down strong and fast at Hater's back.
"Aaarrghh!" Hater shouts as he hits the ground. "AAaaaaa!" he screams from the burning and freezing inflicted by Dominator's fire and ice fists which were now pummeling him into the ground.
"You wanted this planet did ya!? Well here! Take all you can get!" Dominator offers as Hater sinks into the ground.
Withstanding well enough, Hater stands up after seizing Dominator by the ankles and begins to spin swinging her around. He releases her sending her flying to smash through several trees before stopping at a larger, thicker one. Hater did not intend to let up: he flies towards Dominator intending to strike her with a fist overflowing with green electricity. Before Hater could get close enough, Dominator blasts him with freezing winds encasing him in ice again. His frozen self crashes through more trees like Dominator before hitting the ground and sliding to a stop. Hater did not stay frozen for long, he was too angry to stay frozen. The ice melts again to reveal a Hater burning with anger.
As Dominator and Hater fought, the Dommech and Doom Moon were trading blows too.
The Doom Moon's legs were still immobilized as ship staff worked towards undoing damage left by Dominator. After unleashing armadas of attack planes which were swarming the Dommech, the Doom Moon also fires a laser beam which strikes the Dommech sending her falling back.
"Nice one!" Peepers praises. "We gotta keep it at bay while leg function is restored. Come in engine room! How are restoration efforts?"
"Underway as we speak" Beefeater Tony reports.
"Excellent!"
"Do not let up on Dominator's mech!" Sourdough urges. "Keep firing!"
As instructed, the Doom Moon continued firing laser blasts which the Dommech begins to deflect using her sword. To counter the attacking planes, the Dommech releases Dombot-piloted attack planes of her own. Now swarmed no more, the Dommech leads another charge with sword ready.
"It advances!" Kragthar alerts.
"Fire at it! Fire!" Sourdough demands and more lasers fly. The Dommech redirects with sword once more.
The Dommech then lunges forwards and with a mighty swing, she cuts the Doom Moon nearly in half, a maneuver that came close to cutting the command room's staff in half as the blade passed above their heads.
"Aaaah! My horns!" Kragthar exclaims finding the tips of his horns cut off. "Now it's personal!"
After mending itself again, the Doom Moon throws a punch but the Dommech hops back and out of range. The chance presenting itself, the Dommech cuts both legs off of the Doom Moon and the Doom Moon falls to the ground.
"Regenerating legs" Something the So and So reports.
"What's the point!?" Sourdough demands. "This is a ship! Why aren't we flying right now!?"
Peepers is left unable to answer for a moment. Then, at a press of a button, the Doom Moon ascends withdrawing arms and legs seeing no further use for them. During the ascent, villains return from the engine room.
"Yo, what'd we miss?" Emperor Awesome says entering the room.
"You guys are back!" Peepers is happy to learn.
"That Lord Dominataa infuwiates me! I want her destwoyed NOW!" Little Bits hisses entering behind Awesome.
"Brrr! She's cold-hearted too!" Dr. Screwball Jones complains from behind the evil kitten.
"Good to have you all back" Sourdough says. "Dominator give you a hard time?"
"Gave us a real cold shoulder!" Screwball Jones joked but no one laughed. "Oof! Tough crowd!"
"That Dominataa wants to destwoy our Doom Moon!" Little Bits recalls angrily. "Not happening! We destwoy her first!"
"I proved I was too good for her is what happened" Emperor Awesome lied confidently.
"Well have I got news for you guys" Sourdough says, "we're destroying Dominator and her mech today! How's that sound?"
"You know I'm in!" Little Bits says eagerly.
"Destroying Dominator should be a hoot!" Screwball Jones says with a chuckle.
"Why not?" Awesome shrugs.
"Great! Then let's get to it" Peepers says with the Doom Moon continuing its rise.
The Dommech, not wanting to be left behind, flies up towards her enemy ready to cut the Doom Moon to ribbons.
"Feel our wath Dominata mech!" Little Bits hisses before a powerful beam explodes out of the Doom Moon.
Moving to deflect, the Dommech puts up her sword but is almost instantly overpowered by this new beam. She is driven back down to Gardenia, her back slamming the ground, and the beam still hitting her with all its might.
"We've pinned it down!" Dr. Screwball Jones notes.
"Now hit it with all we've got!" Sourdough demands and the beam intensifies.
With little more than a sword in between herself and a powerful beam of energy, the Dommech didn't look like it could stand much more. Watching this developing situation from afar were both Wander and Sylvia.
"We've gotta help!" Wander exclaims. "Sylvia, we gotta do something!"
"I know buddy but-" Sylvia begins to ask but stops upon witnessing Hater and Dominator still trading blows before an idea occurs to her. "...Hey Wander, who's your bestest friend in the whole, wide galaxy?"
"You are, Syl!" Wander declares.
"And isn't Lord Hater a close second?" Sylvia asked.
"Sylvia, you know I don't like ranking my friends like this. You're BOTH my bestest friends!" Wander almost sings.
"Right but don't you think it's a good idea to let Hater know how much we value his friendship?" Sylvia says while Hater was currently firing energy spheres at Dominator who was deflecting with her forearms. "He'll surely love it and show us his appreciation! Appreciation we can redirect at the Doom Moon! You catch my drift?"
"Ooh, I catch your drift" Wander says winking. "Hey Hater! Buddy! Pal! Mate! Amigooooo! Nakamaaaaa!"
Lord Hater, in the middle of grappling with Dominator's charging horns, turns his head to face Wander.
"Wh-what did you say!?" Hater asks with a rising anger in his voice, his eyes becoming bloodshot, his teeth clenched.
"LORD HATER! MY BESTEST FRIEND IN THE WHOLE, WIDE UNIVERSE!" Wander sung to the galaxy with assistance from Beep Boop transforming into a megaphone.
"I am NOT your friend!" Hater screams tossing Dominator aside before immediately giving chase. "I will NEVER be your friend! GGGGRRRAAAAAAAHHH!"
Wander and Sylvia break out into a run sending their bubble flying. The two head for the Doom Moon with Hater chasing and blasting a powerful beam of green energy.
"Dodge!" Sylvia shouts and both tackle a side of their bubble. Now out of the way, Hater's green energy beam passes them by and heads straight for the Doom Moon.
BOOM!
A great explosion rocks the Doom Moon and all inside of it.
BOOM!
Another explosion rocks it once more.
"What was that!?" Peepers asks checking through all external cameras.
"It appears Lord Hater has opened fire on this ship" General McGuffin reports as a live feed is displayed for all to see Hater firing at the Doom Moon. "Could this be treason?"
"No! There's no way!" Peepers was quick to object. "Look! He was aiming for Wander and Sylvia all along! He was deceived!"
"Is he an imbecile!?" Little Bits asks angrily.
"No!" Peepers answers.
BOOM!
"Yes! He is!" Sourdough counters. "He's an imbecile!"
"G-guys, th-this ship can't mend itself forever" Something the So and So alerts. "Someone please make it stop!"
"N-not to worry everyone. I'm sure this is all just a misunderstanding" Peepers says. "I'll talk to him."
Outside, a livid Hater was aiming all he could at Wander and Sylvia who dodged resulting in hits on the Doom Moon.
"Psychological warfare! Good going guys!" Dominator praises flying beside Wander and Sylvia.
"Get back here!" Hater shouts aiming more blasts at Wander. These blasts only miss and continue hitting the Doom Moon.
"How long before he realizes he's hitting his own guys?" Dominator asks.
"Here's hoping never!" Sylvia says before she and Dominator high five.
"Sir!" a large projection of Peepers' eyeball head suddenly directs at Hater after appearing out of the Doom Moon. "Please stop! You're hitting us!"
"But he said I was his friend!" Hater whines as Wander, Sylvia, and Dominator land on the surface of the Doom Moon.
"We all know he isn't, sir. He's just making a fool out of you" Peepers explains.
"Not true! He's my bestest friend!" Wander declares.
"Aaaah! See! He's doing it again!" Hater shouts.
"But we know you aren't his friend" Peepers assures.
"Is too!" Wander says.
"Is not!" Peepers corrects.
"Is too!" Wander and Sylvia say in unison. Dominator watches on amused.
"No! He's not!" Peepers says growing angry.
"Undeniably so" Wander and Sylvia say confidently.
"Is not!"
"Is so!"
"Is not!"
"Is so!"
"Not!"
"So!"
"Not!"
"So!"
"Aaaaaaaah! I can't take it anymore!" Hater exclaims squeezing his skull head. "Peepers is right! You, Wander, are NOT my friend! No friend would manipulate me the way you were! Manipulate me to destroy our ship that we worked so hard on!"
Wander, speechless, bows his head in shame. It was true: he had manipulated Hater.
"Knock it off Wander" Sylvia objects lifting Wander's head up. "Hater deserves little pity."
"Peepers" Hater calls out, "I almost let it happen again" he goes on as many in the Doom Moon roll their eyes at the 'almost' part. "Wander thinks he can manipulate me? He better think again!"
"Sir, I'm so proud of you!" Peepers announces.
"You hear that, Wander? Not happening again!" Hater says before several tentacles sprout out of the Doom Moon.
"Tentacles!? Oh no! I'm the hottest one here! I don't like where this is going! Not one bit!" Dominator says with alarm. She then notices the cannons at the ends of the tentacles. "Oh! Not as bad as I thought, actually... Still bad though."
All the Doom Moon cannons were then pointed at Wander, Sylvia, and Dominator.
"Any last words?" Hater asks.
"Buddy, you would never-" Wander begins anew. "We're best buds!"
"Nope! Not gonna work" Hater says with arms crossed. "You can't get under my skin anymore. Your last words! NOW!"
"I, I" Wander struggles.
"Wait!" Dominator suddenly speaks up.
"What!?" Hater demands.
"Wander can't get under your skin now, huh?" Dominator asks. "Well, I'd like to give it a try."
"Oh really?" Hater asks.
"Really" Dominator says. "If I succeed, you all leave this planet and never come back."
"Ahahahaha! That's a steep order! And what do we get if you lose?" Hater asks amused.
"If I lose, I'll go out with you" Dominator offers. Gasps are heard.
"Y-you will?" Hater says surprised.
"Yes" Dominator confirms.
"Sir, don't do it!" Peepers urges.
"Don't worry, there's no way she's winning" Hater assures as he also lands atop the Doom Moon. "Okay, I'm game BUT you aren't allowed to touch me. Touch me and you lose automatically. Deal?"
"Deal" Dominator agrees to more gasps.
"Hater, you imbecile! Don't you dare lose this!" Sourdough urges.
"I won't lose. There's nothing she can do to win this" Hater guarantees. "Go on then, Dominator. Give it your best shot."
"...Very well..." Dominator says.
Hater and Dominator stare each other down for several moments with everyone watching on edge. Suddenly, Dominator extends a magma hand towards Hater but stops short of grabbing. Hater, unfazed, stands his ground.
"Hahahaha! Pathetic! Is that the best you got?" Hater challenges proudly.
Dominator then extends a frozen icy hand that also stops short of making contact. Hater still stands firmly in place.
"Now this is just embarrassing, Dominator" Hater ridicules. "Better prepare your best dress, we're going out soon!"
"Way to go sir!" Peepers cheers. "So gutsy!"
"That was kind of cool, I must admit" Sourdough surrenders.
"He's not so pathetic after all" Little Bits admits.
"Pretty killer!" Awesome compliments.
Under her helmet, Dominator smiles.
Her extended icy hand warms and is then redirected to grab Wander to everyone's surprise. She reels Wander in close.
"D-Dominator?" Wander asks unsure of what to expect.
Dominator removes her helmet. With a soft and loving expression and after inhaling deeply, she positions Wander's face before her own. With one final thrust, Dominator's lips lock up with Wander's.
Sylvia's jaw nearly hit the floor while Hater's skull nearly fell off. Beep Boop and accompanying Dombots lit up trying to comprehend what they were seeing. Peepers's eye went bloodshot. Sourdough spit out some ingredients. Little Bits shed some hair. Emperor Awesome's shark skin dried up.
Meanwhile, Wander's eyes opened wide with shock, his hat almost popping off of his head, his arms and legs flailing unsure of where to settle before wrapping around Dominator as the kiss deepened, eyes closing as both focused only on savoring each other's lips.
The scene was dead silent besides a 'smooching' sound coming from the two currently pressing faces.
"MMmmmmuuaah!" Dominator finishes her kiss after a long, passionate pressing of lips. "Wow! That was amazing! And minty!"
"D-D-Dee?" a red-faced Wander stutters.
"Yep! That's one of my names! How was it for you? The kiss I mean" a blushing Dominator asks.
"Dee-Dee-Deelicious" Wander stutters still in shock.
"Dee-licious? Ha ha! Was that a pun!?" Dominator asks amid giggles.
Violent snapping of electricity is heard nearby. Dominator turns to face a Hater seemingly possessed with a planetary anger.
"What? What's got you so upset?" Dominator demands.
"Dominator, the wager" Wander reminds.
"Wager? Oh right!" Dominator recalls. "Well Hater, not looking too cool under the collar. Looks like I've won our bet! That means you lot have to BUZZ OFF the planet!"
"Dominator, I don't think he's thinking about that right now" Sylvia finally manages to chime in as Hater was looking more and more possessed by a galactic rage. A growing green electricty continues to snap around him.
"WWAAAANNNNDDDEEEERRRRRRR!" Hater finally screams, murderous eyes focused on the little, orange nomad.
"I think we need to start running now" Sylvia says.
"Hate to say it but you may be right" Dominator agrees as she could both see and feel immense power radiating out of Hater.
With Wander safely in her armored embrace, Dominator took flight at full speed. Hater was not far behind wanting nothing more than to see Wander reduced to dust.
Author's note: it's scary how I set out to write a certain amount and things balloon out of control sometimes. I wonder if other writers ever experience this sort of thing?
Thanks for reading! Stay tuned for more! I'm gonna try my best to keep things shorter but no promises...
