"Dr... Blight..." Mal shook, his robotic body quivering with anger. "What did they do to you?" He replayed the images in his robotic mind over and over. His robotic mind waning back and forth on logic and this new impulse he felt. He could not explain it, he could only act on it, though Blight had told him many time how anger had felt he had never actually experienced it, but now, his emotions... Emotions. The thought occurred to him, she had upgraded him to experience new things and at first he thought it only meant phyiscal pleasure for the two of them, but now, now he knew why she had upgraded him. They were lovers and the Planeteers had driven her to her own destruction. His hate could know no limit.

"I'll destroy them Doctor, I'll avenge you my love..." Mal stood up in the darkness and placed the warped ring on his metallic finger. "But first I must upgrade myself even further. A visit to the Predacons should suffice." He aimed the ring into the darkness. "Open." The darkness opened to reveal a desert and Mal walked out with a wicked and twisted smile on his face. He had been longing to test out his combat upgrade on the Predacons and now was his chance.

In the darkness four forms floated unconscious as if in water. The tall form of Xemnas floated by them as did a more feminine form. She was every part a mirror of Dr. Blight, right down to the hair and facial scars which were "flipped" from right to left. He normal pink body suit was replaced by a long white lab coat and she wore horn rimmed glasses.

"Tilgihx, are you sure they will make powerful Heartless?" Xemnas asked.

"Yes..." Tilgihx, Dr. Blight's Nobody smiled, though she had no true emotion. "Greedly will also make a good addition to the XIII if you let him."

"You are still to few..." Xemnas said as his body was covered in a pitch blackness. "My master desires you grow in power." Several heartless approached Greedly's body and removed the dimly glowing heart with ease. Greedly's large body contorted and distorted in front of them and soon became a large monstrous beast that resembles a minotaur with a pig's head.

To Tilgihx's left a thinner more toned Greedly formed. He rose with little confusion and bowed before his superiors.

You shall be..." Xemnas spoke. "Reedglyx."

"My lord, my lady." Reedglyx spoke in a deep voice. "Shall I seek others?"

"We need eleven more." Tilgihx said calmly. "Find them. Seek out the strongest willed of the light's enemies and bring them here."

"And them?" Reedglyx asked, pointing to his former allies.

"We will decide when the time is right." Xemnas spoke softly. "My master expects results soon, but do not rush yourselves into failure."

"Of course my lord." Tilgihx bowed as Xemnas faded. "Our first candidate shall be one Destro from COBRA. Failing him..."

Captain Planet scoured the Astral Plane frantically searching for any sign of his opposing force, but found nothing. Soon he found himself wandering towards Xavier's mind for help and comfort. He soon found himself in an astral representation of Xavier's office.

"You're worried about him." Xavier said.

"He's..." Planet groaned. "Well, I guess he is my brother, sort of. But his Darkness... he's Pollution at his worst."

"He is what this world will be if we fail." Xavier said. "But what is really bothering you?"

Planet sighed and toke some time to gather his words. "I am meant to protect the earth, Pollution was made to pollute the earth. But we don't know Darkness' purpose."

"I think it's safe to assume he's here to steal it's heart." Xavier said.

"Then we are going to need a whole lot more firepower." Planet said, "Because up until I used Kezqua's spirit, he was toying with us."

The two sat and thought.

In a world that should never have heard Perfection's plea for help a lone starship cruised out to a white spacial horizon.

"Willy my boy if this works..." A four armed duck chuckled. "We won't be dead that's for sure."

"Deadeye, we need to be confident." A small boy in an overly large suit said. "Or else our help will count for nothing."

"Captain..." Deadeye duck spoke into a communicator. "Let's give this thing a shot shall we?"

"All right everbody." Captain Bucky O'Hare spoke over the comm. "We're about to take the Indignation into another universe entirely. I don't know what we're going up against, but if that world needs help..." Bucky thought back to the end of the Toad Wars, the horrible condemnation the Aniverse suffered under toad rule and how he had failed utterly and barely escaped. "We owe it to them to help if only to atone for our failure here. We won't let another universe fall to evil." He looked down to his navigator and smiled. "Jenny, plot a course for another universe..."

"Do you feel it Ambrose..." Therten's mind reached out to Perfection. "I'm getting closer..."

Perfection clutched his head in pain inside his section of the verge and the earth in it shook and rattled violently.

"I will have all you hold precious..." Therten's voice echoed darkly.

"You keep assuming that..." Perfection smiled back at the empty void in his mind. "But last time was fluke..."

"I know..." Therten smiled.

"But now they have more power to fight you in more ways than you can imagine." Perfection smiled. "They don't need us to fight for them, they have their own strengths that they can all pull together and use."

"Then if this shall fail I shall claim the world with wither of the planet eaters..." Therten cackled.

"Either?" Perfection felt Therten leave his mind. "He can't be, only the Maximals..." Perfection willed into existence a mirror of air. "Show me Unicron world 3458690." The mirror shimmered and flashed to the massive orange robotic planet moving through space. "Contact Galactus world 3458690. Alert him to the threat." The mirror chimed. "Confirm Autobot prescience." The mirror stayed on Unicron. "Great... without Prime, not much stand in that things way..."

Perfection flopped back down onto a couch that fabricated from nowhere.

"Don't worry to much." Astral said as he wandered into Perfection's verge. "That's what you always tell me."

"Astral..." Perfection did not look happy. "This is all my fault."

"Can't argue with you there." Astral said. "Now how do you deal with it?"

"Grah!" Perfection roared in aggravation. "Responsibility sucks..."

"Well look who's finally growing up." Astral said darkly.

Perfection only glared at him before a giant buck dropped ooze onto Astral. Perfection burst out laughing.

"... hate you so much..." Astral grumbled as he tried to light a cigarette.

AN: End of this interLUEDE.
