30 Worlds: Megaforce, Episode XIII: "The Doctor and the Descendants"
CHAPTER TWO
In his office inside Auradon Castle, King Benjamin of the United States of Auradon sat looking over the latest reports from the various realms under the USA's auspices. Suddenly, a buzz sounded from the intercom terminal on his desk.
"Yes? What is it?" Ben said. "Your Majesty, this is Cogsworth," the voice of royal butler Cogsworth said. "We have a situation outside that requires your immediate attention, sire."
"On my way, Cogsworth," Ben said. Putting his quill pen back in the ink pot, Ben stood and straightened his tunic before exiting his office.
Outside, Cogsworth was directing royal medics to examine Mal as William/Gavan-G powered down. Shortly thereafter, Ben ran out and saw what was going on. "Mal! What happened?" Ben asked William as two medics helped Mal into the castle.
"I was out for a ride on my motorcycle when I saw Lady Mal being attacked, Your Majesty," William said. "Prince William of the Kingdom of Cinnabar, sire. I am at your service." William dropped to one knee in a gesture of obeisance.
"Rise, Prince William. Any member of Cinderella's family is welcome here," Ben said. William stood back up and smiled at Ben. "How is she?" William asked the head medic.
"Lady Mal will be all right, Prince William," the head medic said. "Merely cuts and bruises from debris impact, as you described. As for the fainting, it seems to merely be the shock of the incident." "That's a relief," Ben said.
A fanfare sounded. Ben looked around, but William simply smiled. "That's me," William said before opening his Mobilates. "Prince William here. Go ahead," William said.
"Prince William, this is Riley," Riley said. "We've landed and are en route to Auradon Castle. Also, Clara is asking about her motorcycle."
William cocked an eyebrow, then looked at Clara's motorcycle. "Tell her everything is all right, Ms. Matthews. See you in a few. Prince William, out," William said before closing the Mobilates and replacing it on his belt. "Just a member of my staff, Your Majesty, checking on me," William said.
"Ah," Benjamin said. "Well, as long as you and your staff are here in Auradon, consider yourselves my honored guests. All that I have is yours."
"We appreciate that," William said. A few minutes later, a car with the flag of Cinnabar on its left front wing approached Auradon Castle. Sofia got out, followed by the other members of the away team.
"King Benjamin, this is my wife-to-be, Princess Sofia of Enchancia. Sofia, this is King Benjamin of the United States of Auradon," William said. Ben took Sofia by the hand and kissed it.
"Prince William is lucky to have such a beautiful woman in his life. And you, Sofia, are lucky to have such a kind man as William in yours," Ben said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty," Sofia said. "That's why I love him." William gestured to the other members of the away team. "My chief scientific advisors, Phineas Flynn and Ferb Fletcher; an agent on my security detail, Riley Matthews; and my educational advisor, Clara Oswald," William said.
Everyone nodded. "Hello to you all," Ben said. "But, isn't Ms. Matthews a little too young for such important responsibilities?"
"We start young in Cinnabar," Riley said.
A few hours later, Mal awoke to find Ben and William at her bedside. "Good. You're up," Ben said. "Wha...How long was I out?" Mal asked.
"Just a couple of hours," Ben said. "Prince William here saved you from whatever was attacking you."
"It was this," William said, pulling a palm-sized holographic projector from his utility pack before switching it on.
"A Sidious-class heavy scoutship, part of a fleet belonging to an organization known as the Army of Inter-Universal Chaos," William said. The image of the scoutship switched to an image of The Master that William scanned from The Doctor's record book.
"The entity supervising the A.I.C.'s activities in this world is known only as The Master," William continued. "The Master's sole objective in this world is to prevent you and your friends Evie, Jay and Carlos from leaving this world with us."
"Why is that?" Mal asked. "Because you, Evie, Jay and Carlos are the group from this world that when combined with the person or group from twenty-nine other worlds will create the one power that can destroy the A.I.C. once and for all," William said.
"Phineas, Ferb, Riley, Clara and myself are five of those entities," Sofia said. "The attack on you this afternoon is proof that we must assemble the four of you as soon as possible."
Ben turned to an attendant standing outside Mal's quarters. "Summon Jay, Carlos and Evie here at once," he ordered. "By your command, Majesty," the attendant said before running off to attend to her orders.
