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

CHAPTER FOUR

William watched as a Royal Security limo driver pressed a control on the limo's control panel. Golden light wreathed the limo as a bridge appeared over the empty sea between Auradon and the Isle of the Lost.

Then, as soon as the limo had all four of its wheels touch the soil of the Isle of the Lost, the magical bridge faded back into nothingness.

Finally, the limo reached its destination: a decrepit castle in the center of town. William got out of the limo and walked up to the castle gate. A female voice came over the intercom terminal built into the door.

"Who is it?" it asked. "Evil Queen, I am Prince William of Cinnabar, the new head of the Descendants Project Selection Committee. I am here to discuss the selection of this year's beneficiaries," William said.

"Come in," the Evil Queen said as the castle gate became to lower. William turned to the Royal guardsman who drove the limo. "I can take care of myself," William said to the driver. "Very well. I will remain right here if you need anything," the driver said.

Evil Queen told William to sit down and make himself comfortable. "Thank you," William said. "Now, Evil Queen, as the de facto leader of the Isle of the Lost following Maleficent's defeat five years ago, I was asked by King Benjamin to speak to you regarding any candidates you would like to suggest for this year's class of Descendants."

Evil Queen smiled as she sat down. "I'm flattered," she said. "Well, there's this one kid I've had my eye on." William activated his tactical eyepiece. "Go ahead," William said.

"His name's Jason Sykes. He's the son of William Sykes, the leading land owner here on the island," Evil Queen said. "Jason's not as evil as most of the children here, but he's got it where it counts."

A profile of Jason Sykes appeared on his eyepiece's display. He fit the description of the person Mal had described. "What do you mean by 'he's got it where it counts?'" William asked.

Evil Queen smiled. "Billy boy delegates responsibility like a true leader," she said. "He prefers to let others do his dirty work."

"I see," William said. "Any other ideas?" Evil Queen gave William four more recommendations, which William entered into a file on his PDA.

A few hours later, William was walking down the street when he felt something brush against his body. When William reached into his pocket to put a couple of mints into his mouth, he noticed that his Mobilates was missing.

Suddenly, William heard commotion a little bit further down the street. He went to investigate and saw a blonde-haired young man standing over a mousey little person. "I don't want to see you around here again. Got it?" the man said.

The mousey one ran away, dropping William's Mobilates as he ran off. The man scooped up William's Mobilates and turned to walk out of the alley. He then noticed William. "I believe this is yours," he said before handing the Mobilates back to William.

"Thanks," William said. "To tell you the truth, I've been looking all over the island for you, Mr. Sykes." "Oh, you have, have you?" Sykes said. "Evil Queen has recommended you to be part of this year's class of Descendants," William said.

"I am?" Jason said. "Yes," William said. "I need your help to find the remaining four candidates."

"All right," Jason said. "But, before you begin, you'll need these." Jason reached into his pocket and withdrew six objects. "Are these..." William said.

"Apparently, they're called 'Megaforce Change Keys,'" Jason said. "Someone named Yen Sid came to me in a vision and told me to protect them until the worthy one-and by that, I assume he meant you-comes to claim them."

William activated his tactical eyepiece and opened a channel to E.R.I.N. "E.R.I.N., I need a warrior identification check. Link with my eyepiece and scan the image," William said. "Standing by, William," E.R.I.N. said.

William held the six unknown Keys up to his eyepiece. "Identity confirmed. The Keys embody the powers of the 39th Super Sentai team, Shuriken Sentai Ninninger," E.R.I.N. said. "Transporting the Ninninger Keys to the Enterprise."

The Ninninger Keys dissolved in Enterprise transporter energy. "Shall we, Jason?" William said. Jason gestured for William to follow him.
