Legend of The Sorai

by Doctor of Writing

Another one of my crossover genres, with mention to previous characters that I have written in as myself. Basically a Trek crossover with everyone else coming in to help.

15. Chapter 12

LEGEND OF THE SORAI

A/N: SO we've reached the final chapter or so. I think this will be the final chapter, though there might be an epilogue chapter, just to straighten everything out that doesn't get taken care of in this chapter. So. This chapter is called the Trial. the title behind it is evident, everyone is on trial for their part thus far in the grand scheme of everything from Apocalypse Game until now. I am sure you are wondering about the whole incident with The Doctor and The Sliders, that will be made clear as well.

Chapter 12: Legend of the Sorai. Trial. Tribulation.

Being a prisoner was the last thing I wanted, but there wasn't really any offers on the plate. When Apocalypse, Palpatine and I had appeared, and been greeted, we were informed we were under arrest. Palpatine and Apocalypse had chains and cuffs placed on them, as well as bracelets like mine when I had been under Palpatine's command. Apocalypse had a bit more, as he was a demi-being. Apparently a girdle was placed on him because of his power, so it would constantly drain him, leaving him powerless, and unable to maintain a connection with the time stream. cuffs were placed on Us (Dragon and I in co-form), but nothing else, though I suspected, that the many guards around the area, everytime we went through a junction probably served as a reminder.

We came to a building that said jail. It looked small, but something told me that looks are always deceiving. I went in, followed by Chronis and Tyronis, who apparently had keys. Palpatine and Apocalypse were led elsewhere, probably to quarters suited to them. though I found out later, ours were better off.

As soon as we entered the building, we were amazed. We had expected a common prison, with nexus capabilities. What we encountered was more to be a mansion, it was nice. As soon as we entered, our cuffs disengaged, and disappeared. I later learned, the same didn't happen to Apocalypse and Palpatine.

"Okay," we said, "We'd like an explanation."

"We're under arrest," said Chronis, "Until the Trial."

"What Trial?" we asked, "For what?"

"It's complicated," said Tyronis, "If Phoenix were here, he'd be able to explain it, as he is more familiar with this, but apparently the Legend of the Sorai want us to stand trial for damage to the multi-verse."

"Where is Phoenix?" we asked, suddenly feeling a bit worried, as an Avatar was missing.

"That's complicated," said Tyronis, "We think he ascended, you know like the Ancients in the Stargate show."

"He what?" we said, "did he die....?"

"well...." said Chronis, before another voice answered...."No."

we four turned to see a being glittering, "Phoenix?" we said.

"No," said the being, "I am You, Dragon, well, I will be you, but right now know this, you cannot allow the verdict for the good to be guilty, otherwise all hope is lost."

then with that, the being, the other us, disappeared.

"That was weird," said Chronis, "He looked like you Dragon, except he looked more in Sync then Integrated, like the Dragon and human aspects had both accepted power and merged to be alive at the same time."

"the point is," said Tyronis sitting on the couch that was in our apartment, which from what I heard, everyone who had been fighting the dark had gotten a spacious apartment, "that this trial apparently isn't to judge who is right or wrong, but about the damage done to the multi-verse."

a new voice entered the conversation, "That is correct Tyronis," said the voice, "Or should I say Calvin Harth?"

Suddenly Tyronis became human, a young man about 16, with spikey blonde hair, Calvin Harth, if you read the comics, you'd remember he was a six year old kid with the anthromorph tiger Hobbes.

"Grozit," said Calvin, "How'd you do that Fowl?"

"Fairy Magic," said Artemis Fowl the second, "Greetings everyone, I'm just in from the administration, the trial is set for three hours from now, the Legend of the Sorai will be presiding, everyone involved in this affair will be on trial, Phoenix will be as well, now that he's been found."

"Wait...." said Calvin, "You've got me confused, why aren't you going to be on trial?"

"Peacekeeping forces," said Fowl, "Holly and our allies, those that came with us aren't on trial, due to the fact that we found out that our idea to go to the multi-verse was an order from the Sorai."

"Who or what is The Legend of the Sorai?" we asked, Dragon was more curious, as the name sounded familiar, but couldn't place it.

"You will find out soon Lieutenant," said Fowl, then turned to leave, then looked back, "Oh, and Kestral is in the hospital wing, the damage is fixed, but she is sleeping, we will have her next to you during the trial for her safety."

"Her safety?" we asked.

"You'll understand," said Fowl as he left.

"Now I'm confused," said Calvin as he changed back into Tyronis form, then turned back to human form, "but I like the fact that I can change back, I like this, I think Suze will like it as well."

Susie Derkins, Calvin's longtime friend/romantic interest, though when he was six they were....at best....enemies.

I turned on the television, hoping to find something to watch, instead I found a list, of people, one was "those involved since the beginning," another was, "Those who were brought in by incidents," another was, "Command line junctures, and finally as I got down to the end, "Those dead, not on trial, exonerated because of." This trial was going to be huge, but I didn't see anything, couldn't find anything about who was covering the trial, if there was going to be any coverage.

"Does anyone think there is a lot more here, that we don't know about?" asked Chronis after he too had looked at the list.

"I will remain reserved," said Tyronis laying on the couch, "Come on, lets get some shut eye, I have a hunch this will be a long day."

"Agreed," said Chronis and us.

Three Hours Later

"Knock, knock, knock." silence, "Knock, Knock, Knock."

Chronis was the one who got up, the rest of us, looked groggy and confused, then remembered where we were.

"Greetings," said the man who entered, flanked by two troopers, wearing light armor and repeater pistols, "I am Seina Yamada."

Dragon and I were startled for a second, wasn't this the same guy who we encountered in our fight with the souped up clones, but if it was the same guy, he didn't recognize us.

"I assume you're here to bring us to the trial," said Chronis.

"Yes," said Seina, "The trial is to start in half an hour, all are expected to be there now, seated."

We looked at him, "Lieutenant," we said, "Where is the one called Phoenix?"

Seina looked at us, with a 'Do not refer to me by my rank, or you will regret it.' look. So he was a bit pompous, then again, all Jurians were, "That is not for discussion at this time Sir, what matters is that the trial will be focusing partially on your part, and what Phoenix did do, as well as the Dark Council's involvement."

We gulped, the Dark Council, trying to convince me they were the good guys, thought they were dealt with, must have been found.....then I realized; Palpatine, and the others....that was the Dark Council.

"Come," he said, "We will go now."

we walked out the building, and found others coming down the stairs, for a building that looked one story, it had at least three floors and each place looked equally spacious, so I figured someone had figured out good geometry. The guard around most of us, most of us being those who had fought for the light was considerably light, however as we crossed the main courtyard, we saw that the dark siders had considerably more guards and armor, in fact there were several airborne things with room for two people in them and a small mini gun on the underneath. Most of the dark siders were those who I'd met at various points, but some looked new, one that stood out was a creature who had iron balls, the type that they used to use on prisoners back in the medieval era, dragging behind him, plus a rope around his middle, then I saw why, he was a flyer, obviously if the rope failed, the chains would hold him back. Something told us that these chains had magic running through them, since the creature had to be a gargoyle...or something worse.

Seina just happened to be looking at the creature as well, and sighed, "That's megatron," he said, with disgust, "we found him a while ago."

"Wait," we said, "Phoenix destroyed him, we thought he would be gone for good."

"He did die," said Seina, "But apparently power like his doesn't, he apparently jumped ship to something more evil, even if it didn't have power, he wanted to make a statement."

"How'd you capture him?" asked Calvin, "There's no way he just gave up."

"It took a full force of my men to capture him," said Seina, "I lost a lot of good men, Palpatine should be happy to know that his old play buddy is here."

something made Dragon and I do a double take, something didn't feel right, all of the powered dark siders were here. Did anyone think it odd that none of them were trying to escape? We looked around, yet couldn't find any place to escape from, but we felt that if they wanted to escape or cause damage, they could. It was Calvin who broke the silence right then.

"I want an explanation now," he said, stopping as Dragon and Chronis stepped around him, "I want to know why both sides are being put on trial, I've seen a good portion of the people we've fought, not even have to be in chains, yet, I, Dragon and Chronis are in chains. I saw a dozen or so Jurians who joined us, not in chains, I see at least one of the Star Gate corps, they're not in chains. So someone tell me, why we're in chains!"

Seina sighed, "That's not for you to ask, now march, before I have you forced in there." he growled.

"Make me?" said Calvin, "I think not, you want to start something, then let's, but you'll be answering to a BlackWatch Commander, and I don't think you want to do that." Calvin was all civility, but the way he spoke, spoke more danger. BlackWatch was an elite unit of Shield, you didn't mess with them, they were the ones who you didn't want to think about in a war. At the same time, Calvin's chains snapped as he started flickering.

Flickering? okay, that's a new one, we didn't think any of us flickered.

"Human!" said Seina pointing a gun at him, "Stand down or you will be dealt with."

Most of the armor that was with the light had guns trained on him, but Calvin didn't seem to notice it. He was transforming....no, rephrase that, he was re-syncing back to Tyronis.

"This is no longer an issue," said Yamada, "Kill him!" Safeties clicked off, and laser sights turned on him, that was a lot of guns, we didn't think he'd survive if given the chance.

"Stand down Lieutenant," said a voice, "That is an order."

Chronis and us turned to see a dozen or so armored men pointing staff weapons at Seina and company, we saw at least two other units running towards the area, staffs at the ready.

"HE QUESTIONED MY AUTHORITY!" said Seina rather pissed off, "I WILL DO AS I SEE PLEASE!"

"By Order of High Command," said another voice, "Seina Yamada, You will step down or be shot right here." We looked to see three men walking with swords out, backed up by a flying bucket. I recognized the uniforms, Blades. Jurian Royal Commandos. Hitmen, assassins, kidnappers. you name it, the Blades were the equivalent of BlackWatch, but not as high strung or out there as BlackWatch were.

Calvin/Tyronis reached out and grabbed Seina and held him face to face, "Deal with the fact that you're a low sect caste pal," he said, "Deal with the fact that while you may be a lieutenant, you still bow to royalty, just because you have guard duty here, doesn't mean squat. I think your superiors will see to it that you get janatorial duty or worse once this is over." With that Seina was kicked in the stomache as Tyronis put him down and walked over him. The rest of the troops who had been under Seina's command looked at each other, at the Ori troopers and three Blades, and decided not to follow suit and went back to directing people.

The leading Blade commander and Prior came over to talk to us. "Sorry about that," said the Prior whose name I learned was Nur-uio, "Yamada was security chief on board a ship, thought that made him special, then getting this, felt like he was rising up, got to big headed.

Now, if you're wondering, just how this Seina differs from GXP series. Well what happened in the tv show, never actually ever occured, Yamada was born on Jurai to a low caste clan, and managed to get into GXP, but never amounted to anything. He was related to the Musaki clan, but that was pretty much it. No one liked the Yamada clan. They had once been high ups, but somewhere along the centuries, something went sour, and they were cast down. From what I hear, they had tried to take over as rulers.

"As BlackWatch," said Tyronis, "I'd like to know what's going on."

"We can't actually tell you a lot," said the Blade Commander, whose name as Kulsco, "Except that this was a rushed job to arraign an assembly, the Legend of course were ready, but a lot of us were transported, those that you see here, are those that were brought in."

"Where is Phoenix?" asked Tyronis, "He was the leader, true leader of all that was going on."

"No one has seen him since Tatooine," said Nur-uio, "When Dragon went pissy, he disappeared, Chronis doesn't know, and Chronis knows a lot."

Chronis gave a dark smile, "Let me put it this way," he said, "He's not here, he may have ascended, that's all I know."

"Lets get into the courtroom," we said, "We think this would be a perfect opportune moment to get everything finished, and then back to the field, we're aching for some fun."

Walking we saw that the dark siders were in a different setting, their area was roped off with bars around it, and from what we saw, electrified. Whoever set this up really wanted the dark to know it's place. behind bars. We saw a few others that we hadn't seen when we had arrived. A robot and two humans walking together, we did a double take, then we recognized the robot; Cat Dis, aka Catastrophic Disaster, Dragon's companion, the other two were Banpei and Sigel. From what we saw, They had become human, and we understood, they had been with Dragon when this had happened. We saw another woman as well, talking with Cat, we knew her as Urd, Norn of the Future, Cat was shaking his head, and Urd was nodding, but we could see tears forming in her eyes, yes, our sight was that good. One of the guards then obstructed our view, "You'll forgive me sir," he said lightly into our ear, "But your sight has been noticed, and would be appreciated if you were to keep it to yourself, or we will blindfold you for the duration of this trial." We looked and saw it was one of the fairies that Artemis traveled with. We looked over and saw Holly looking at us pointedly, with a look of 'not now,' on her face. We nodded and withdrew our sight. The guard nodded, and then moved on. Then the judges entered.

"You will rise for the presiding judges," said a voice throughout the room. Judges? Well, I guess Legend of the Sorai meant more then one.

"Lord Steven Strange," said the voice, "Judge of the Mystic, the arcane, and the magix; head judge."

"Lady Belldandy Morisato," said the voice, "Judge of purity, holiness, justice, and love; assistant judge."

"Lord Tenchi Musaki," said the voice, "Judge of life, battles, honor, and power; junior judge."

"Sir Tiberius," said the voice, "Judge of what is never as it seems; attorney."

"Quin," said the voice, "Specialist in deception and lies; soothsayer."

then the final being came through and both sides gasped, we even gasped, because this wasn't ever a possibility we thought.

"John Avery Whitaker," said the voice, "Follower of God, voice of justice, voice of truth, guardian of the one earth where there are no powers; adjucator."

Then a new face appeared above them, and I saw lettering across it, 'Spiritus Mundi,' so that's where we were, the one place out of time, space and everything else, and the voice spoke, "I am the legend of the Sorai, I am Society's Original Rating Against Incursion, the power that was, is and will be."

Now we were confused, these six beings made up the power of Spiritus Mundi, or was there something else here going on, that we didn't know or understand?

"I know that many of you are asking this one question," said the being, "These six are those who have sworn their allegiance to justice and hope, peace and life, love and everything else. John Avery Whitaker is the one being in this tribunal who is a non power, but because he fights for truth and the Way, and those dedicated to that path, he is an honored member, the others are the regular members, we all want one thing; harmony. hence the fact that bringing both the light and dark to Spiritus Mundi. It is a risk, but the only way in here is through invitation, so we are safe from those on the Dark side who would try and rescue their compatriots." The face glanced over in the dark's direction and seemed to glare at Palpatine and Apocalypse. They seemed to be fidgeting, but when that look hit them, they seemed to pale, and stop whatever they were doing.

"This trial will commence now," said the bailiff, a fairy, "Witnesses will be called as needed, otherwise, you shall sit and keep quiet."

With that, the trial commenced.

Elsewhere: outside of the trial compound. forested area.

The forest area had a sparse patrol of guards, because there was no way anything was going to come in that way. The forest area was one of the few natural openings back to normal reality, and the opening was situated in Oz. more specifically the Wizard's castle. the place was more impenetrable then it had been when Dorothy had come, in fact it was because of the war going on that Oz itself had become more harder to escape to. These days, Dorothy was one of the few allowed in to Oz, let alone into the Wizard's castle. The place wasn't so friendly anymore as it used to be, but then again, after several attempted invasions by Palpatine because of the power that Glenda and the Wizard had found, would you want to be? When Dorothy had fought the Wicked Witch, who had been an agent of Palpatine's, the Flying Monkey's had alligned with Oz, originally Oz had no air power, but the monkey's were one thing to be feared. The movie didn't make them all that deadly. they in fact...were. They had sharp talons on both their hands and their feet. They were a lot more intelligent then the movie had them out to be, also the Witch had dumbed down their intelligence so they wouldn't depose her, if they found she had forced them to work for her. They carried blades dipped in scorpion poison, along with the flower dust that Dorothy and her companions had almost died by falling asleep in. The former soldiers that The Witch had used, the Winkie's were fierce fighters. They were the special command that kept watch over Castle Oz, which was where the Wizard, Glenda, and Dorothy resided. The Tin woodsman, the Scarecrow and the Coward-less lion as he now had courage and power each commanded a regiment. Toto, apparently at some point had undergone and transformation after being bit by a viral-beast that had escaped a hidden lab in the Witch's castle. the beast had been destroyed, but not before hurting toto....who could now transform at will into a semi-humaniod being. He could also speak. Were-beings were known in the land, but were-dogs were the least well known as dogs weren't supposed to have the gene even if bitten.

Anyhow, the castle was impenetrable, and both sides of the gate knew that, even though a half regiment guarded the castle side, and a full and a half regiment guarded the spiritus side. The gates were usually kept closed, but because of the trial, should there be a reason that arose, the gates would be open. Along with the Winkie regs on this side was one demi-being and two psi-wards. Nadine who had been D.W's imaginary friend was one of the few Sras-cona that was allowed into Oz whenever. The Sras-cona were beings who had immense power, but had to keep it in check, that's why Nadine in most of her appearances had all the rings, because she needed to keep her power in check, the two Psi-wards, Rubella and Prunella Prufrock had known about Nadine when she had made contact with D.W. Because of their sight they had made sure Nadine was okay on her incursions to their reality. Nadine was one of the guards of Spiritus Mundi, which is why no one who found Spiritus Mundi left, usually those who found Spiritus Mundi either died, or were looking to escape and become something far greater. Rubella was psi-versing with a guard on the outskirts of the forest, doing an hourly check in. "everything's okay on his side," she said to Nadine and her sister, "the trial is going along well, so far no convictions have come forth, but the dark siders are getting antsy, okay, rephrase that, Palpatine, Megatron, and Apocalypse are."

Nadine looked up from where she lay resting, and opened one eye, "should I order a double guard on the other side as well as more patrol on the main end of the forest?" Nadine was one who preferred to have more power out in the open, then in hiding. which explained a lot with her, why she was feared.

Prunella who was "watching" things out in reality, shifted her focus back to normal. "Under normal circumstances, no," she said, hesitantly, "However, I'm seeing things out in the blue yonder which worry me, Oz is still safe, but there are parts of the Mundi right now that could easily collapse and there would be easier ways in that aren't guarded."

"That's it," said Rubella, as she picked up her com, "I'm calling for two regs of Flying Monkey's, as well as whatever the Munchkins have in the way of air support."

What was surprising, though the munchkins were rather short, they had a lot of powerful weapons. The lollipop squadron who Dorothy had met, had she met them in full armor, would have been afraid, they were called the Lollipop squadron, because the bodies of their dead were done up like lollipops. They were the special forces of the Munchkins, brutal, fast, and hard. They had portal jumpers, so they could be anywhere fast. The in-joke in political circles was that if you pissed a big wig off, you'd get lollied by lunch. not much a joke these days, when most of the parliament was controlled by the Munchkins. Their air support was no joke either. Since they didn't have want to have to drive their planes, they used one person gyro-copters, but these copters were fast and deadlier then regular copters. they had the normal wing span and everything, but they were outfitted with energy weapons. As much as the Munchkins deplored energy use, (most of their homes ran on oil lamps, and basements where the food was stored,) they had three labs that were electrically conditioned, where a lot of the weapons were fashioned. There were three regiments of copters with the energy weapons on them, and then five regiments with regular machine guns and cannons. If both groups left, then you knew somewhere was in trouble. The munchkins also had several anti-air weapons as well. net cannons that shot nets that were electrically charged, as well as a couple of cannons that shot out something like metal, that expanded as it flew out, then shattered on impact. the Impact cannons were the one thing that was feared even by Winkies. Usually as the Winkie's charged in, Impact cannons fired to give support to them, though several times a few Winkie's had been hit by stray pieces and died, that's not the bad part though, the fact that the shrapnel is active, because it's bio-enginnereed, it can reanimate the body, that's why there is usually a twenty minute wait between the firing and the charge. The first few times, the commanders finally had to come to terms with what to do.

"No," said Prunella, "Something out there wants more damage, whatever it is, wants to control, we will not play into it's hands."

"Wait." said Rubella, "Nadine, I think I know who might be controlling the action out there, and I know who Prunella saw."

Nadine looked at Rubella, "Your joking," she said, "The Doctor destroyed him, there is no way that he could return, The Master is officially gone."

End of Season three of current series, the Doctor fought against his Arch-nemesis The Master, the guy who kept trying to control everything, and had defeated him and then killed him, for once, something had been right, but if The Master had somehow been brought back, then things were way out of proportion.

"I think this trial was what he wanted to happen," said Prunella, looking at the forest, "He wanted everyone in one place, in ONE PLACE, from there he could move and no one would be able to stop him."

"Cut the cord to OZ!" Nadine screamed as she realized what might happened, "You guards stay here, but cut the cord, then spread out, Rubella, inform the guards around the trial that there is going to be company soon."

The two sisters did, sending the messages, then snapped their fingers as their battle-garb attuned to them. they had been wearing their casual wear, flowing skirts that most wicca wore, they now wore black leather wardrobe, and each had a sword at their side, along with several daggers across their chest. It was the staff they each held that identified them as Guardians of the Mundi. Warriors dedicated to protection of Spiritus Mundi.

Elsewhere: The trial.

So far, it had been boring. literally, we could have slept, there was no reason to be conscious at the moment. However, that was until we over'heard' one of the guards receive a message. From what we could decipher, Spiritus Mundi was about to be overrun, but there were to be no worries. The Guardians of the Mundi would take care of it. Something didn't sit right, how could one get into Spiritus Mundi....unless they knew of the secrets to get in.

We looked at Palpatine and Apocalypse, and used our sight. We knew we'd get in trouble, but if our guess was right, they were doing what we knew they'd end up doing. We were right. they were asleep. But they were humming with energy, no one hums with energy, not even us when we sleep. We felt a tap on our shoulder, it was the guard who had talked to me earlier.

"I asked you earlier not to do that kid," he said, "I will have to bind you this time." he pulled out a binder for our eyes, but we spoke up first.

"The message you received, from whoever, we think we know how the invasion might happen," we hoped that might convince him. We were right. He blinked, then looked at Holly, and said something to her, that was directed only at her. She winked out from there, and came over to us. By this time, the guard had asked me to come with him.

"Explain yourself Dragon," said a terse Holly.

I explained, about how we'd overheard the message from whoever, to the guards about the imminent invasion, and how we'd noticed Palpatine and Apocalypse asleep, but brimming with energy, that didn't seem natural for anyone still energy locked.

"Frack!" she spit, "I didn't see that as a possiblity, "Dragon, wait here, I'm releasing you from this trial, the energy binders are off, so go head and armor up."

We did as she said, it felt good to be alive again. Our sword at our side again, our powers returning. We looked at Holly, she seemed to be meditating, but the guard told us that she was using her limited astral talents to talk to a few others. Soon enough she came back to us.

"There is a situation," she said, "Three wormholes were created in a region of space that is renown for being unstable, if The Master is behind this, then he's going to invade here. Palpatine and Apocalypse obviously knew about that, that's why they knew they'd be captured, they wanted this to happen, and we played into their hands. We'll keep the trial going as long as we need to, most of whom I've been in contact with, are on the outside, but there were a couple on the inside who will relay information to select groups, as of now, I am appointing Dragon full command."

The guard we were with saluted me, and we saluted him back, "At ease soldier," we said, "We want full patrol now. We want whatever air supremacy you have up and ready. All soldiers not on duty are to be active now, Any and all defensive weaponry is to be set up at strategic locations. It's time to fight back."

A young woman and two wizard-esque woman ran up to the soldier and saluted. He looked at them and bowed, as did we, figuring they were something that was worth bowing to. "Who is the officer in Charge?" asked the one in the blue dress.

"That would be us," we said, "I am Dragon, Avatar of the Dragon, Last of the Dragon Clan, Holder of the Dragon's Tooth."

The blue dress woman looked surprised, and then bowed, the other two didn't know what to do, but then bowed, as blue dress looked at them.

"I am Nadine," said the blue dress, "One of the monitors of Spiritus Mundi, these two women here, are Rubella and Prunella Prufrock, They are Wicca, as well as that, they belong to the Order of Mundi, those who have dedicated their lives to protecting Spiritus Mundi."

Suddenly we looked up as the light changed, that's when it happened, the light hadn't changed, rather the sky had partially disappeared as landing craft suddenly started floating down.

"Do it!" we shouted.

The alarm worked as we had expected. Three craft were hit from the trees with mortar fire, blowing up on contact. Our guess was that a large enough ship was over the wormhole, and then was dropping the landers which were five to ten man craft through its shuttle bays. The wormholes were obviously big enough to fit a large star craft, which would mean we'd need something big to shove up it's butt.

More kept dropping in, mortar and rocket fire was taking out a good portion, but the ambush couldn't take out everything. Those that landed were met by rushing guards. Most had swords, a few had guns, but most of the holding force had swords, against the enemies that had everything, from powers to whatever. Prunella, Rubella, Nadine and we stayed back, issuing orders. We could tell they wanted to fight, and they knew we wanted to fight, but right now things would have to stay the way they were.

"We repeat," we said, "We need air support or something more, right now we're getting pushed back, the forest ambush is working, but there's still a lot more on the ground, and most of the guards are pinned down, If we loose any part of the Mundi we're screwed!"

The floating junkers were moving in, but they had to keep their distance as they were mainly floating weapons. Nadine had cut the cord, so we wouldn't get any Munchkin or Flying Monkey support, the only thing we had from Oz was the mortar and rocket fire.

"HOLD POSITIONS!" we shouted, "DON'T LET THEM PUSH THROUGH!"

By our estimate, there were thirty landers on the ground, coupled with the fact that there was still rain coming down, there would be enough for an invasion force. Suddenly our com beeped, "We have movement near the trial location," said a voice, "I'm reading....zzzzzt!" Suddenly we understood, keep this location occupied, go after the trial. We swore, Nadine looked at us pointedly, but saw what we showed her. "Go," she said, "You will have to do it Dragon, we can take care of here."

Doing the motions we moved into our dragon-beast form, and then transported to the trial location. Now I'm sure you're wondering, weren't we near the location. No. when we had left, we'd gone near the forest, because we all knew that's where the incursion would happen, don't ask us, ask the writer.

We arrived and it was chaos, most of the prisoners were backing up as two huge and ugly mecha-walkers moved in on the place, spewing demonoid troopers. They looked up at us as we flamed in, then came after us, we roared our challenge, and then ran at them on all fours, smashing through the lot of them. The walkers were AT-AT's, we brought them down fast as they were heating up weaponry. Whatever these demons were, they were allied with someone else, probably one of Apocalypse's men. Then we saw him. A man in bio-kenetic blue armor.

"Sssssssssinister," we growled, "We suspected you'd be behind this." We rushed him. Bad idea on our part. He lifted his hand and all of a sudden our perception suddenly shifted as we found ourselves tumbling up.

"face it dragon," he said as he lifted another hand which held a needle in it, "You're about to be Old news. Old."

We tried reforming on the ground, but it was impossible, we were about to lose, and the Universe was about to die a thousand and more deaths. We roared at him in anger, we roared more as the needle went in.

Slumping to the ground, we hissed in pain. We heard laughing overhead as screaming started, suddenly it felt like a weight had gone off us. So this is what heaven feels like. Suddenly, we saw some one looking at us. "Dragon," said the voice, "Giving up so easily, I'd have expected better from my brother in power." We looked at the speaker, but we couldn't see who it was, "Face it dragon, you were always hotheaded, but we're going to put them on the run now, for the sake of everything, and the one you love. After all, if Kestral dies, do you want to go on?" Whoever this person was, was pissing us off, we roared in anger, feeling more strength. "My strenghth to yours Dragon," said the Speaker, "It's time you accepted it...become THE COSMIC!"

The power rushed into us, and we all of a sudden felt a sync that was unlike anything we'd ever felt before, whatever it was, we were whole and powerful enough. Turning, we saw that Sinister and his creeps had made it in, but that would stop now. "SSSSSSSSINIIISSSSSSTER!" we roared, "FACE US!"

Sinister turned and looked at us, puzzled, then stepped back, "there is," he gasped as we reached out and grabbed him, "No way, you're supposed to be dead." Snapping his neck would have been to easily. We threw him up into the air and blew a fire blast at him, incinerating him, permanently. The demonoids looked at their no longer existant boss, then at me, then came after me. We dealt with them easily, ripping them to shreds as if they didn't exist. Palpatine and Apocalypse and by this time Megatron had gotten out, most of the other Dark siders running, but getting clipped and brought down. We took after the three of them, then a rather odd thing happened, a police box appeared, and man stepped out.

"It's about time you three got here," he said. It was the Master. Oh crap.

"Can we feast upon him now Master?" asked Megatron who we could tell by this time was hungry.

"Yes." said The Master, "End Him, END REALITY!"

We started backpedaling, the master was giving them power, we were so screwed. Suddenly, we stopped backpedaling, as we had run into something squishy We looked up to see.....Thor?

"Your power and mine together Cosmic One," the thunder God rumbled, "Together, we shall prevail."

"Together you all will fail," roared the master laughing as he came forward with his swords.

"Not," said a new voice, "IF we have anything to say about it."

We looked around, Kestral, was holding to large swords, surrounding her were several other beings, then I saw one, coming out of nowhere, flaming hair, Excalibur by his side, Phoenix.

"You survive Phoenix," said The Master sounding a rather disappointed, "We thought we'd disposed of you after you retrieved Alderann.

"Going to take a lot to get rid of an Avatar," said Tyronis coming forth as well, "Chronis is ready to fight as well."

Chronis stepped forward, his dual time blades out and ready, "We ARE UNITED!" we shouted as we stepped and raced into the fray, as more dark siders gathered.

Lightening struck as we clashed, we noticed a couple of times that there were a couple other gods in the mix, and we realized that Olympus must have been involved.

An hour later, The Master lay tied up with every binding available, the same with Palpatine, Apocalypse, Urias, Artemais, Megatron, and a few other dark entities. They were all at sword point. We were still in beast form.

"This trial convenes now," said a new voice, as The Doctor stepped forward, "I judge you all guilty, the crime? trying to destroy life. The sentence? your destruction."

"You always were the compassionate one Doctor," said The Master, "Who will do your dirty work this time?"

The doctor pulled out a gun and shot each of them before The Master finished speaking. "Times change," said the Doctor sadly, "Things change."

Then someone else appeared, or someones else.

"We are the Preservers," said the beings, "By our watch you are all scheduled to die now."

"Wrong," said a new voice, "As the power of Olympus, I overrule that."

Thor stepped forward and bowed as Zeus and Loki and Hera came forth from a portal, "Preservers," said Zeus, "You have meddled enough, since the dawn and forth, by this order, you are no longer allowed to meddle, what ever happens happens, but we are closing the realities off. Everyone will be sent back, but will remember this day. The day that Death almost triumphed." Then Zeus turned to us, "Dragon, you are now the Cosmic Being that has been prophesied, in fact it was you who saved yourself, you cannot return to your plane of reality, you must ascend, you must be the Comic Guard."

"Not without me," said Kestral, "I love him way too much."

"You are the Cosmic Mother," said Zeus bowing before her, "You are the power behind the power, it is your will that shall shape the future that is come."

We stood together and adressed everyone who was gathered, even those who weren't, we knew would hear this, "On this day, the power of the Dragon, the Power of strength ascends. You are not alone. You know that there are allies out there, blessed be everyone of you, you are not alone, you are not weak, nor shall you ever be weary. This is the day that the light won, this is the day that we showed the Darkness that Light shall always prevail. After this day, the darkness shall be fully destroyed, and the light shall be made glorius as it was meant to be. ON this day, I dragon and my wife Kestral ascend, you will always be in our hearts and minds. All of you. Blessings!"

With that, Dragon and Kestral were no more.

"Everyone listen up," said Zeus, "portals are appearing both here and in space, you will go home, you must remember that after this day, no more interdimensional travel or wars will happen. Those caught breaking that rule and the others will be executed. The streams of life must flourish, Life is dying, it must live. This shall begin the Fifth age of Life, the Age of the Ageid, those that will life!"

Everyone disappeared, back to their realities, soon all that were left in Mundi were a few Gods and demi's.

"So," said Q to Jean Luc whose portal was still open, "I told you this would happen, But I never saw it happening like this, nor my being a cause. Capitan, the next time we meet, know this, you shall be dead, but not. You will have ascended, the Continuum things that you are what is needed for the next generations."

Picard nodded, "Forward thinking finally agreed with the ruling council." then he disappeared.

The others looked around and then they too disappeared. Portals closed, and everyone was home.

The End.

Epilogue.

One person looked around at the trashed nature of this place, "Crap," said Nadine, as both Prunella and Rubella had been recalled, how am I going to clean up this mess? A bolt of energy boiled through the place and it was clean. Nadine looked up and bowed to the heavens. "Thank you milord," she said. "Thank you for everything."

THE END.

Thank you for reading Legend of the Sorai. Thank you for taking time to read this. This is the last of my series that started a long time ago, that I never expected to go this far. I am now going to start a new path of writing, I don't know where it will take me, but I can say this much. There will be no more multi-crossovers, they are done for now. As for the ending. This is how I expected it. I shortened it, but it's still how it ended. Thanks ya'll.
