Me: Here we are.
Mordecai: I understand these updates are gonna go a bit slower now.
Me: That's correct, I've got school, cross country, and a new job.
Rigby: Yikes that's a lot, me, I'd just do nothing.
Muscleman: Yeah because you're so lazy.
Rigby: STOP TALKING!
Grimlock: Continue story, me Grimlock anxious!
Me: Okay then, let's begin.
Ch. 10 It's Not Over
Mutrad, Modula's Fortress
"No, no, no, noo, NOOO!" The Mutradi scientist at the counsel began to shout as new readings began to appear on the screens.
All the scientists were panicking and, typing away at the alien keyboards and computers to make sense of all the data, and hope to reverse it all, to each of their individual grief, they could not.
"What?! What is it?!" Baron demanded standing up from his command chair in the center of the room.
"C… c… Commander Baron" One of the alien scientists stuttered "The rift gate generators… They have… have been"
"Don't stutter, tell me!" Baron commanded
"…destroyed sir." The scientist finished quickly.
"What?" Baron questioned
"All five of the generators have been destroyed commander Baron. The portal is closed." The scientist reported.
"What of our forces?" Baron asked, with an angry scowl forming on his face.
"All their signals have been cut off; they are all dead sir." The scientist answered, sweat dripping off of him.
"And, the Mega-beasts?" Baron asked.
"They too… have fallen." The scientist stuttered, looking away.
Baron could not believe what just happened. It was impossible. No way could that academy wash-out and idiot princess end their, let alone this quickly. This couldn't be happening, it just couldn't. Not possible.
"THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE!" Baron roared; startling all the scientists in the room. "The plan was fool-proof! This can't be happening! It just can't be…"
"What can't be, Baron?" A voice interrupted from behind.
At the sound of that voice, Baron's anger had been completely washed away with fear, for he knew who the voice's owner was. He turned around and saw the hologram of General Modula, no doubt seeking a report.
All the scientists quickly backed away, none of them wanting to give their master the bad news. Baron quickly bowed on one knee.
"General Modula" Baron began "I… regret to inform you that… the portal… is closed. The signals of all our forces are cut off; they have been defeated, as were the mega-beasts. The invasion… has… failed." As he finished, Baron could only think of one thing to do; close his eyes so he couldn't see it coming.
To Baron's great surprise however, his master did not have the rage-filled reaction he was expecting, in fact, if he didn't know any better, it almost sounded like Modula was, laughing. Baron looked up in surprise and confusion at the hologram of Modula, giving a light laugh.
"Master…?" was all Baron could say
"Oh Baron. You have so much to learn" Modula stated "I never expected that attack to succeed, in fact, part of me was hoping it would fail"
"My Lord, I…" Baron began "I don't understand."
"That was not the invasion, but a test run." Modula answered.
"'Test run'?" Baron questioned
"Yes. A test to see if those generators could keep the Rift Gate open for as long as one would wish." Modula explained "And it was successful. During the chaos, a few ships were able to slip by unnoticed to the enemy. I have been tracking them, they are now in position. Now, the true invasion, can finally begin"
Earth, Valley just outside Sherman
Danny was still in ghost-form, but completely soaked in purple alien goo, standing before the other nine teenagers by the corpse of the Mega-beast he recently killed.
"Dude, you reek." Rex stated
"Yeah, I noticed." Danny retorted.
"Don't worry I got ya." Ben assured, as he activated the Omnitrix and transformed into Water Hazard, much to the surprise of Illana, Lance and Octus.
"Wait, what are you…?" Danny began, before Water Hazard blasted Danny with a large stream of water. The water had completely washed away all the purple slime. When Water Hazard stopped, Danny was dripping greatly. Ben then transformed into Terraspin, he quickly formed his "fan" and blew a giant gust of wind right at Danny, drying him off.
When Terraspin finished, he transformed back into Ben. Danny was now clean, though his hair looked like he just got out of bed.
"Warn me next time you do something like that." Danny told him, striating his hair out.
"You're welcome." Ben retorted with a cocked smile.
"Alright." Ron began "Bad guys toast, now what?"
"Now…" Lance began "Now time for answers from all of you. First off, who are you? How did you get the capability to fend off this attack?"
"Rude much?" Kim commented.
"Uh, did you three, not just turn into a giant robot just now?" Zak recalled
"Yeah, man. I think you owe us answers." Jakes said.
Lance glared at the teenagers, their apparent lack of authority was ticking him off. "That wasn't a request."
"Oh, I'm sorry." Rex began "I didn't realize here that demanding answers was your way of saying 'hey, thanks for saving my ass.'"
Lance was about to say something at Rex, probably something the EVO wouldn't like, if Octus hadn't intervened.
"I think introductions are in order from all of us." Octus said.
"He's right Lance." Illana agreed. "They did save our lives." She turned to the seven (eight if you count Rufus) "Thank you for your help." Illana thanked with a smile.
"You're welcome." Kim responded with a light smile of her own.
"I am Princess Illana of Galaluna." She introduced, with a bow. "This is my body guard, Lance." She gestured to him. "And this is Octus." She gestured to the advanced robot.
"Hello." Octus greeted
"Pleasure to meet you." Danny responded "My name is Danny Phantom."
"Kim Possible." Kim introduced.
"Ron Stoppable" Ron said. "And this is Rufus." Ron gestured to the naked mole rat on his shoulder.
"Hello" Rufus waved
"Ben Tennyson." Ben stated
"I'm Zak Saturday." Zak introduced.
"Name's Rex, Rex Salazar." Rex said
"Call me Jake, the Am. Drag." Jake stated.
"Alright." Lance began "Now that we all know each other, would you care to explain to me how you seven were able to fend off an entire Mutradi attack force?"
"'Mutradi'?" Kim asked
"I think that's what those things were called." Ron guessed.
"Yes, that is the name of the species of alien monsters you just fought off." Lance stated. "But you still didn't answer my question."
"Well most of us here, have taken on armies single-handedly and won." Ben began. "I'm pretty sure the seven of us together was more than enough."
"But how?" Lance asked
"What, you want a play-by-play or something?" Rex asked.
"He meant, how did you get your incredible abilities?" Illana told them.
"Yes." Octus began "We have been on Earth for quite some time, but never before have either of us ever seen anyone with any the abilities each of you possess."
"'On Earth'?" Zak questioned "Are you guys, aliens or something?"
"Answer the question." Lance demanded.
"Okay, okay. Geez" Danny said "It makes sense that you haven't seen anything like us on Earth; well, your Earth anyway."
"What do you mean by our Earth?" Illana asked
"You guys ever heard the concept of 'parallel universes'?" Jake asked.
Illana and Lance both looked at each other in surprise.
"The theory that there are multiple universes, with different variations of concepts, items, even people" Octus translated.
"Yep." Ben said.
"Are you all from a parallel universe?" Illana asked.
"Try universes, plural." Kim said.
"Excuse me?" Lance questioned.
"Each of us are from a parallel Earth." Danny explained. "Though some of us are from the same Earth, but there are multiple Earths involved here, not just two."
"I find that difficult to believe" Lance stated.
Before anyone could say anything else, air begun to blow around them. They looked up and saw a G3 drop-ship descend and land about fifty feet away from them. The door opened, and a ramp extended to the ground. Multiple G3 troopers came out of the ship, each bearing a gun.
The seven heroes had a bad feeling about the unfamiliar looking soldiers surrounding them, and got into battle-stances, ready to fight.
"No it's okay." Illana assured her new allies. "They're with us."
Right as she said that, each of the troopers aimed their blasters at the seven.
"You sure about that, your majesty?" Jake questioned.
"Lower your weapons." They heard a voice come from the ship. The man that walked out was Solomon. He turned to the nearest soldier. "I said lower your weapons."
"Yes sir." The soldier responded, and all the troopers lowered their guns and eased their stances; the teenage heroes followed suit as well.
"I apologize, their very cautious." Solomon explained to the teens.
"And you are…?" Kim asked
"My name is Solomon." He introduced. "I'm the head of G3."
"What's G3?" Danny asked
"Galactic Guardian Group." Solomon answered "Were a government organization that deals with alien involvement."
"Never heard of ya." Rex stated
"Of course, you're all from different universes." Solomon recalled.
"Wait, you believe them?" Lance questioned
"Yes, it makes sense." Solomon began "We ran their faces through our databases and found nothing."
"'Nothing'?" Illana asked
"Doesn't G3 have access to all databanks on the planet?" Octus recalled
"Yes, our planet." Solomon answered. "All things considered, I believe 'parallel earths' is the most logical answer."
"This is amazing!" Illana beamed. "We've meet aliens, but never alternate earths before. What are your universes like? You all have to tell me everything!"
Each of them was taken aback by Illana's sudden interest.
"Wow, wow; slow down sister." Danny said.
During this time, Octus had just discovered something that made him shiver in his circuits. "Uh oh."
"'Uh oh'?" They all asked
"My scanners have picked up a faint energy signature, identical to the five from before." Octus explained
"What?!" Lance demanded
The seven turned to eachother, each with a confused and worried look on their faces.
"We destroyed all the generators." Rex recalled
"Yeah we did, didn't we?" Jake asked.
"If we didn't, the portal would still be open." Danny recalled
"No, the signal." Octus began. "It's coming from Egypt."
"'Egypt?!" All of them shouted
"Yes, and…" Octus began before something else came up. "Wait, we've got signals popping up in The Amazon; Alaska; the Indian Ocean; Germany."
"All over the world?" Kim asked.
"What the Hell is going on?" Ron asked
At each of the specified locations; the Egyptian desert, Amazon jungle, Forests of Germany, Frozen land of Alaska, and the surface of the waters of the Indian Ocean. A Mutradi centipede ship had arrived, only these were each twice as big as the ones from the attack.
At the same time, each of the ships began the change. Parts shifted and moved. Soon the ships pointed directly upward. Parts continued to shift. When it was all done, the ships each took the appearances of large towers. With holes on the roofs.
From within the newly converted towers, they each had a control room, each control room had multiple Mutradi soldiers at the many counsels, but at the center of the room, floating in a glass tube extending from floor to ceiling, was a box, a rift gate generator.
At the same time, an alien from each of the towers pressed a button, the tubes surged with white electricity. It seeped into each of the boxes. The electricity intensified until a white light glowed from each of the tubes.
White beams shot out from each of the towers and directly into the sky.
Back at the valley, everyone looked directly up to see large white beams shoot up into the sky.
Solomon was the first to guess what was going to happen.
"Active the Grid! NOW!" He commanded into his comn to the G3 base.
Earth's orbit
From low orbit, dozens of G3 satellites began to form what appeared to be a grid all around the earth. When it appeared each of the satellites was equal distance away from each other; each satellite was covered in a green energy field. Several small green beams shot out left, right, up, and down. All the beams made contact with each other. When it appeared a grid had formed around the entire planet, the gaps between the lines filled with more green energy until a large green shield formed around the whole Earth.
Right as the shield closed, each of the white beams manage to phase through the shield. The shield still remained up however. Each of the beams met, several miles above the shield. The epicenter expanded until it took the form of a full rift gate.
Once the Rift Gate had formed, an entire armada of Mutradi ships poured out of the portal and went directly for earth.
The Valley
Everyone could see what was happening from the hologram Octus was displaying. They all could look in dread as the ever-growing armada of alien ships began to pour out of the portal.
"This just got a whole lot more complicated." Danny observed.
Me: Done
Mordecai: That can't be good.
Me: It's not.
Rigby: Big fight's coming up right?
Me: Oh yeah!
Muscleman/Rigby/Grimlock: YES!
Me: Until then.
