30 Worlds: Megaforce, Episode XIII: "The Doctor and the Descendants"

CHAPTER THREE

In his apartment near the campus of Auradon Prep, Jay-the son of Jafar-was entertaining his girlfriend. Princess Lonnie, the daughter of Li Shang and Li Mulan, was laughing as Jay recounted their quest for the mystical Dragon's Eye, back on the Isle of the Lost.

Suddenly, Jay was interrupted by a knock on his door. "Who is it?" Jay asked. "Royal security, sir," the voice on the other side of the door said. "King Benjamin has ordered you and your friends to report to Auradon Castle immediately."

"Did he say why?" Jay said after opening the door. "All he said is that it was a matter of national security," the royal guardsman said. "My colleagues are picking up Carlos and Evie as we speak."

Jay turned back to Lonnie and kissed her. "Sorry, Lonnie," he said. "Duty calls." Lonnie knew of the responsibilities of duty and honor, so she simply nodded her understanding.

Elsewhere in Auradon City, Evie was styling a client's hair when a royal guardsman entered the salon where she worked. "I'll be with you momentarily," Evie said to the guardsman. "Just let me finish this client."

The guardsman nodded, then turned to face the entrance of the salon. Once Evie was done, she tapped the guardsman on the shoulder. "Shall we go?"

In a wooden area just off of Auradon Prep's tourney field, Carlos was walking his pet dog, Dude. He looked up from rubbing Dude's stomach to see a practicing tourney player point a royal guardsman towards him.

"Come with me," the guardsman said. "Just a moment," Carlos said. He then turned his attention back to Dude. Unbeknownst to Carlos, the guardsman was raising a weapon and pointed it at Carlos.

Suddenly, the practicing tourney player slammed his lance into the side of the guardsman's head. The player took off his helmet to reveal Chad Danforth, one of the components of the High School Musical Key. "Danforth to Prince William," Chad said into the communicator on his wrist. "Go ahead, Chad," William said. "As you suspected, one of the guardsmen was an A.I.C. plant," Chad said. "He was about to shoot Carlos deVil."

"Good job out there, Chad," William said. "I'll have a couple of Meap's pilots come down and take him into custody. In the meantime, bring Carlos to Auradon Castle." "Will do. Danforth, out," Chad said before closing the channel.

Chad turned to Carlos, who was trying to calm Dude down after what had happened. "Are you all right?" Chad asked. "I will be, thanks to you," Carlos said. "Who are you?" "Chad Danforth, DDV Enterprise," Chad said. "I need to get you to Auradon Castle immediately."

"What's going on?" Carlos asked Chad. "You and your friends are in mortal danger," Chad said.

By the time Chad and Carlos arrived at Auradon Castle, Jay and Evie were waiting with Ben, Mal and William. "What's going on here?" Carlos said. "Are you all right, Carlos?" Mal asked.

"I am," Carlos said. "Chad here saved my life." "Now that you're all here, there's something I need to tell you," Mal said. "This man over there-" Mal gestured to William. "-needs our help," Mal finished.

"I am Prince William, and for the past four years, I have been traveling to various dimensions. Each world has a person or group of people that, when combined with those from the other worlds, forms the one power that can save all of the multi-verse from an evil army," William said.

"I was attacked by this evil army a couple of hours ago," Mal said. "The organization is known as the Army of Inter-Universal Chaos. An evil entity known as The Master is the person supervising the A.I.C.'s operations in our world."

"The Master? How original," Carlos scoffed. "In this case, Carlos, the name is perfectly appropriate," a voice from behind everyone said. Mal, Jay, Evie and Carlos turned to see The Doctor.

"For many decades, I have fought The Master from one end of the universe to the other. Believe me when I tell you that the danger The Master poses to Auradon is very, very real," The Doctor said. "Which is why I have traveled throughout my time-stream-at great danger and peril, I might add-to find help."

Clara exited the TARDIS, followed by many whom William recognized from the descriptions and images he saw in the record book The Doctor had given him.

The first of those people smiled at William. "I am Susan Foreman, The Doctor's granddaughter. We who have accompanied The Doctor are at your service," the woman said.

"Don't forget me too!" a voice called out. Scarlett appeared from a cloud of red mist. "And I bring gifts!"

From behind her back, Scarlett produced three more Mobilates and a fourth, unknown, device.

"The fourth device is called the MegaCellular," Scarlett said. "It can access the powers embodied in the Megaforce Change Keys like the Mobilates do. But whereas the Mobilates require the Key to be folded, inserted and turned like a regular car or door key, the MegaCellular allows the Key to remain in this form."

Scarlett handed William the four devices. "Bless who you want to hold the power. But choose wisely," Scarlett finished.

William turned to face the people standing before him. William pushed the button on his utility pack's buckle four times in rapid succession, making blue, yellow, green and silver Keys appear.

William took a deep breath before placing his hand on Mal's shoulder. A green flare of energy passed from Mal's body to William's. William then handed Mal the green Key and Mobilates.

William then handed two of the remaining Keys and devices to Chad (blue) and Clara (yellow). "I'll give the silver Key to Lennier when we return to the Enterprise," William said. "But for now, we must prepare for The Master's attack."

The Doctor stepped forward. "Everyone who has traveled with me knows the kind of danger The Master poses," he said. "Daleks, Cybermen, Zygons, any evil being that The Master can think of is at his command."

"And that's not the half of it," William added as he walked up to join The Doctor. "With the A.I.C. on his side, The Master can call upon any evil being from any other dimension imaginable. That is why we must call upon some evil of our own."

"Are you seriously considering recruiting help from the Isle of the Lost?" Ben asked. "It may be the only way to save Auradon," William said. "And I have a few ideas of who to choose," Mal said.

::TBC::

Have a suggestion for an O.C. Descendant to recruit? Then, PM me or send me an e-mail through the address on my profile. Please use the following format:

Name

Relationship to and Identity of Villainous Parent

Height

Weight

Hair Color

Eye Color

People who submit O.C. proposals WILL retain ownership of their character concepts-persons whose characters I ultimately use will be properly credited (please also list what name [whether real or Pen Name] you wish to be credited under).

For example, here's the profile of a character I'm creating for the next chapter. He's the Mal-type character of the next group of Descendants who you'll be creating characters for.

Jason Sykes

Son of William Sykes from Oliver and Company (1988)

5'11''

215 lbs.

Dirty

Cobalt Blue

Now, I know that Sykes was killed at the end of Oliver and Company, but the Descendants prequel novel The Isle of the Lost establishes that those villains that died at the end of their stories were resurrected before their banishment to the Isle of the Lost. Good luck. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
