Ch. 18 Avengers Assemble Part 1
Modula's Fortress, Command Center
To say the entire command center was in a state of panic was an understatement. All the Mutradi Scientists we're typing rapidly at each of the consoles, receiving more and more bad news. One person in particular, who was angry at the situation, was none other than Baron, who was trying his absolute best to conceal his rage.
"What is happening?" Baron growled as he sat in his command chair in the center of the room.
"Sir, we've lost contact with each personal at all of the portal generator locations on Earth." One scientist informed as he typed away
"There is a strong possibility that each of the locations has been compromised." Another scientist theorized.
Baron clenched on of his fists in contempt. "I want confirmation. Now." He growled
"Yes sir…" A different scientist began before getting a small alert on his console "Alert, we have just received confirmation of the destruction of the armada's flagship. I repeat the flagship has been destroyed."
"How is this POSIBLE!?" Baron yelled, finally loosing his composure.
"There is more news sir." A new scientist called, rather timidly "Something has come through the rift gate, we have a breach."
Baron face-palmed "How can one invasion have gone wrong so fast?! If Master finds out about…"
"Finds out about what…?" A hologram of Modula on his throne appeared in the control room, nearly giving all the Mutradi scientists heart attacks, and startling Baron.
"Lord… Modula." Baron stuttered. He quickly kneed before the hologram "My general, we have… lost contact with the rift gate personal on earth… and the flagship has been destroyed." Modula sighed "And… we may also… have a… breach." Baron finished, closing his eyes while sweating profusely.
Modula sighed once more before beginning "What is the situation with the rest of the armada?"
"They are still active, my lord." Baron reported "And they are continuing their offensive on the shield surrounding the Earth, and it will fall soon."
"I see." Modula stated. "Though this breach will undoubtedly be the Princess."
"Yes, most likely." Baron agreed, still kneeling before his master "Your… orders… master?"
"Let her come." Modula ordered, surprising Baron as he looked up with wide eyes "It will give me great pleasure to squeeze the life out of her with my own hands." He stated as he clenched one of his gloved hands.
"Of course, Lord Modula." Baron said "And I will see to it, the invasion fleet breaches the shield and destroys the Earth."
"See that you do Baron, and don't fail me." The hologram cut off, leaving the scared Baron to himself and the frightened scientists.
Passing through the clouds of the Mutradi sky was the G3 dropship, piloted by Lance; and carrying the passengers of Danny Phantom, Kim Possible, Ron Stoppable, Illana, Octus, Ben Tennyson, Rex Salazar, Jake Long, and Zak Saturday, along with Rufus; all of which we're still in their G3 space suits, minus Octus in robot-form, Danny Phantom in ghost form, and Rufus inside Ron's helmet.
"Okay, we're here." Kim began "On a hostile alien planet. Any one got a plan?"
"I vote not to die." Ron added, with Rufus nodding in agreement
"Way to ease the tension their buddy." Rex responded sarcastically.
"We'll think of one when we get closer to the enemy stronghold, but for now…" Lance began, before typing away at the controls.
The outside of the ship then turned invisible.
"The cloaking field is activated." Octus relayed "We should now be completely invisible."
"Good call." Ben said.
The ship then left the clouds, and the teenage heroes could now see the surface of Planet Mutrad. To say most we're surprised was an understatement.
The surface was riddled with barren mountains and ridges. There was no sign of vegetation or civilization anywhere. It looked like something seen out of a sci-fi movie, mixed with horror. It was unlike anything these heroes have seen before; even Ben who has visited more than one alien planet in his life has never seen anything like this. The only signs of life we're large Mutradi creatures in nearly every shape and size imaginable. Several popped out of large holes and canyons, they even flew directly under a large flying Mutradi that looked like a Manti ray mixed with a worm.
"Wow. And I thought the Ghost Zone was something." Danny said
"I've never seen any place like this before." Jake stated
"I've been to plenty of crazy planets, but this one takes the cake." Ben said
"To think a planet like this can actually support life; I don't know whether I should be impressed, or terrified." Zak said
"Uh, I think that mountain just blinked at me." Kim stated, rather scared.
"Anyone else, getting a little freaked? Not just me?" Ron asked, as the shaking Rufus held onto Ron's face
Some kind of starfish like creature splattered on the cloaked window of the ship, startling Rex a bit, he looked disgusted as the slimy creature slowly slid down.
"Yeah, we're definitely not in Kansas anymore." Rex said
"I've heard all the stories of this place…" Illana began "But I never imagined it would be this horrible."
"Mutrad is among the most hostile of all alien planets in the known galaxy." Octus reported "Not only for hostile environmental conditions, but the indigenous life forms are not very peaceful."
"Uh yeah, that last part we already figured out." Jake told him.
"Surprisingly however, the atmosphere surrounding Mutrad, is very comparable to both humans and galaunians alike." Octus informed
"So we can breath on this planet?" Danny asked
"Yes, but that's the only good thing about it." Octus responded. As soon as he said that, everyone took off his or her helmet, and Danny changed back into Danny Fenton.
"So what now?" Kim asked
"First, we find Modula's fortress." Lance informed
"Yeah, something's telling me that isn't gonna be a problem." Ben said as he looked out the front window.
All of the heroes got up from their seats and looked out the window to see Modula's fortress. A large, 100 story tall black, spiked tower. It could but the Tower of Sauron from Lord of the Rings to shame.
"Yeah, thing with big evil bad guys." Ron began "They always go for the dramatics."
"I hear that." Danny, Ben, and Rex agreed at the same time.
"We should set down before we're spotted." Lance said "We may be cloaked, but I rather not take the chance."
"Good thinking." Zak agreed.
The cloaked ship then slowed down and was able to slowly descend and land on the ground behind a large mound, not to far from the fortress.
Within three minutes, the heroes all took off their space suits. Danny Fenton was in his white and red t-shirt with blue jeans; Kim in her white and blue battle suit; Ron was in a black shirt with white bolero style jacket with grey gloves and grey cargo pants; Illana and Lance still had the G3 space suits on, without the helmets; Octus was still in robot-form; Ben was in his black and green 10 t-shirt, with brown cargo pants; Rex had his white and blue shirt with red jacket, black pants and gloves, and goggles on his head; Zak had his orange and black Saturday armor; and Jake had his red jacket with blue jeans.
All the heroes we're gathered in the middle of the drop ship.
"Okay, so what's the sitch here?" Kim asked
"We'll let's recap." Danny began "We are on a hostile alien planet on the other side of the galaxy…"
"That's crawling with monsters ready to tear us limb-from-limb…" Ben added
"We've got a heavily armed massive fortress about a mile from here…" Rex said
"Which is probably loaded with hundreds of Mutradi soldiers with high tech stuff…" Ron said
"All being led by a twisted psycho…" Jake added
"And there's an alien fleet that's ready to tear apart the Earth to." Zak added
"Which is only protected by a shield that will fail in approximately four hours and fifty seven minutes." Octus informed
"Yeah, it looks like our situation sucks." Danny said
"Well there's gotta be something we can do, I'm not gonna stand by and do nothing!" Illana announced
"Lets take a look at a couple scenarios." Lance began "If we storm the fortress now, and on the off chance that we succeed, there will be nothing to stop the Mutradi fleet from breaching the shield and destroying the Earth."
"But if we turn around and stop the fleet, Modula will just regroup and try again." Rex stated
"And since we're on a time limit, we have to find a way to stop both at once." Zak said
"But how?" Kim asked "I know most of us are like one-man-armies, but I doubt we can take on titan-sized aliens that all over this planet."
"That has me wondering though." Ben asked "Why are the giant sized guys, taking orders from the little ones? Wouldn't they revolt or something? I mean those guys are huge, why do they have to take orders?"
"The Mutradi Mega-Beasts." Lance said. "That has me wondering too."
"The Mutradi have never been able to get them under control before." Illana began.
"But… didn't they use them to attack your home planet?" Ron asked
"I have been wondering that as well." Octus began. "And I think I know why." That got all their attention. Octus then displayed holograms of all the Mutradi Mega-Beasts that Titan has ever fought.
"As most of you know, the Mutradi Mega-Beasts all appear to vary in virtually everyway possible, there appears to be no similarity." Octus began "That is until I began to look deeper." The holograms we're all brought together. "Despite their differences, each Mega-Beast carries the same thing, a central nervous system." The hologram then converted into one of a long nerve stick, with several smaller nerves branching out. "Each Mega-Beasts' central nervous system is identical."
"So how does that help us?" Danny asked
"From studying the nervous systems, I have found something that is uncommon in any nervous system for any creature, an outgoing electrical signal." Octus said "Through intense studying I have determined the source of this control, all the Mega-Beasts have been implanted with a micro-chip directly into their central nervous system." The hologram revealed the chip.
"So that's how they're controlling them." Illana stated
"Their like, remote control puppets." Zak said
"Exactly." Octus said
"Well, you know how they're doing it. Can't you block the signal or something?" Rex asked
"I have been working on a weapon, designed specifically for that." Octus answered. The robot then had a white sure of electricity inside it, which then slowly left the central core and onto his left arm. Once it reached the end, a blue orb slowly formed. Soon, a blue orb with a white electric field inside was now floating in front of them.
"What is that?" Zak asked
"This is a virus that I have designed, when activated it will trigger an EMP."
"Yeah, not a scientist here." Ron said, not having a clue what an EMP was. With Rufus nodding in agreement.
"An EMP is an Electro Magnetic Pulse." Danny answered
Both Ron and Rufus had blank expressions on their faces.
"A burst of radiation that shorts out all electronic devices in range." Kim translated
"Oh, then why not just say that?" Ron asked, with Rufus shrugging his shoulders.
"So how can an EMP take down the Mega-Beasts?" Ben asked
"The chips are implanted directly into the creatures' central nervous systems." Octus began "It sends electrical signals into the system that allow the beasts to be controlled, the nervous system of any life form is filled with natural electrical signals, the ones sent by the chips are mixed in with the naturally created ones."
"And since an EMP shorts out all electrical devices…" Danny began
"It'll jolt the nervous systems so badly it will kill them." Zak finished.
"Hold on a second." Illana began "Octus, I will not have you risking your life again, we almost lost you once."
"And my main weapon is an electrical device." Ben said, referring to his Omnitrix
"And I'm full of tiny electrical machines." Rex added, referring to his nanites.
"You don't have to worry about any of that." Octus said
"Huh?" All the young heroes said
"This is a special EMP of my own design. I have modified the electrical wavelength for it to only affect Mutradi technology." Octus said
"So it will only take out their tech, not ours." Jake asked for clarification
"Yes."
"Hold on a second." Danny said "Only their tech huh? Couldn't we also use this to take out the Mutradi fleet? I mean, since it will only target Mutradi tech…"
"We can also use it to destroy the fleet." Kim finished with a smile.
"Saving the world again, Booyah!" Ron cheered with Rufus raising his fist in happiness.
"That will not work." Octus said.
"What do you mean it 'wont work'?" Ben questioned
"The EMP will indeed shut down the fleet, permanently; but the weapon has only a limited range, and it can only be used once; once we use this one we cannot use it again." Octus explained
"Can't you just make more?" Lance asked
"Yes I can." All the heroes sighed in relief "In approximately ten days."
The sound of glass shattering was heard.
"TEN DAYS?!" They all yelled
"It is a very delicate procedure to create something this complex; no short cuts can be taken, and no detail can be overlooked, ten days is the amount of time it took me to make that one, and it will take no less to make another."
"Maybe you didn't notice, but we don't have ONE DAY! Let alone Ten!" Rex exclaimed
"So what your saying is, we can use this to either stop mega-beasts or the fleet, we can't do both?" Kim asked
"Correct."
Danny groaned before speaking "Well, can't we modify this one? Make the EMP range expand so it will take down both the Mega-Beasts AND the fleet?"
"Even if we could how would it be possible? The fleet is on the other side of the galaxy." Octus reminded
"What about the Rift Gate?" Danny asked, getting Octus' attention "It's still open and hanging just above Mutrad and Earth on the other side. What if we expand the EMP wave enough so it can reach the rift gate and hit the fleet back at earth."
"Can an EMP wave pass through a portal?" Zak questioned
"I'm no scientist, but that sounds pretty questionable." Kim said
"Well, energy-based Mutradi have passed through the Rift Gate before." Illana remembered.
"Theoretically, the EMP wave can pass through the Rift Gate just as easily as we did." Octus guessed "But to expand the EMP to such a size, it will need a power source of immense power to accomplish that."
"Can't we find something in there?" Jake asked, pointing to a window that had a partial view of the fortress. "They have to have something in there right? A power source or something?"
"One moment." Octus took a moment to do a brief scan of the tower, after searching through all the search patterns, he found it "There is a power source, a Rift Gate generator."
"That place has a Rift Gate to?" Ben questioned
"Hold, on; won't it be big enough?" Kim questioned. "I remember those things weren't too big."
"The generators that are built for the Rift Gate that hangs just above the Earth are specially modified to keep the Rift Gate open for an indefinite time." Octus began "This is one of original design, it can be opened only for a short time period; but it is just as large as the portal above the Earth, meaning the power source will should be large enough to help accomplish our task."
"So all we have to do is hook the EMP orb to the power source? Sounds like a win to me. Booyah" Ron said, with Rufus cheering.
"It won't be that simple." Lance said
"Way to undo the Booyah." Ron slumped.
"I agree, it's not like their gonna let us get close to it." Illana said
"Well we're pretty tough, and we made it this far." Rex said
"I'm sure we can make it." Ben added
"We're too large a group, Modula would see us coming." Lance contradicted.
Danny thought of a moment, before an idea came. "Large huh? What about that robot of yours?"
"Titan?" Illana asked
"Yeah, we saw that thing in action, and it was AWESOME!" Jake yelled
"Titan is too large for such a mission, Module would absolutely see us coming." Lance stated
"Exactly." Danny commented, earning curious looks from everyone "That's the idea. He'll see Titan coming, but not the rest of us."
"Oh I get it." Kim understood. "Titan's just a distraction."
"Bingo." Danny commented. "Titan will draw most of the Mutradi forces away, while the seven of us will sneak in through an opening and plant the EMP."
"You are willing to storm the enemy fortress, even though you are right, Titan will have most of the attention, but it won't be left unguarded." Lance commented
"Hey we're pretty tough, remember?" Jake commented
"But if Octus is in Titan, who's gonna trigger the EMP?" Ben questioned
"I bet I could." Zak said, earning curious looks "I'm a pretty good scientist and I know my way around energy, it's alien tech so it'll take some time, but I think I can get it done."
"That's perfect." Danny said with a confident smile.
"You sound like a man with a plan." Rex noticed
"Yep, here it is." Danny began "Titan will be the distraction, and Modula will concentrate most of his forces there. While the rest of us will sneak in through a back way or something and work our way through the tower. Once we reach a certain point we'll split into two groups. Zak you will go to the Rift Gate power core and hook up the EMP, while Jake, Kim, and Ron go with you for back up."
"What about us?" Ben asked
"Yeah, what are we gonna do?" Rex asked as well.
"Ben, Rex; you two are with me, we're going after Modula." Danny declared.
That statement earned looks of surprise from Lance, Illana, and Octus.
"You're gonna fight Modula?!" Illana exclaimed
"That's crazy!" Lance yelled "He's the best trained soldier of all of Galaluna; he's faster and stronger than any force we got!"
"Yeah?" Ben began "Well I can turn into over seventy different aliens, and I've got more than one power house in here." He said, pointing to his Omnitrix.
"And I've got my own specialties too." Rex said. "Besides, you saw me yourself remember?" Rex reminded Lance
"I'm pretty powerful too, but I'm not one to brag." Danny added "And we won't underestimate him, but we're not from the same universe, what we got will catch him off guard."
Illana took note of this and conceded with their points. After all, she did see Danny in action herself "This may be our only chance Lance, and we don't have much time either."
Lance sighed "Alright, we'll do it your way."
"Alright, everyone else good on the plan?" Danny questioned. They all nodded "But I have to be honest with you. This is most likely, the greatest threat any of us have ever faced, we only got this far by working together, and it's only gonna get harder from here. We can't hold back, we have to hit hard with everything we got. There might also be a small possibility that not all of us will make it." This gained looks of concern from everyone "But no matter what happens, we have to make absolutely sure, that EMP is hooked to the power core, because if we fail here; not only will we die, but this Earth will die to."
Everyone had deep looks of concern here "I'm going no matter what, and knowing the danger, will you guys still go through with this?" Danny asked
They all shared looks with each other. Kim was among the most nervous. But her look of nervousness faded, and was replaced by one of absolute determination.
"Let's do this." She said as she put her hand in the middle, Danny followed next, followed by Ron, Rex, Ben, Jake, Zak, Octus, Lance, and finally Illana. Even Rufus who scurried down Ron's arm.
"Thank you." Illana said "All of you, thank you so much."
"Alright, but if we're serious about the whole 'team thing' we need a name." Rex said
"Agreed." Ben added
"A name?" Illana asked
"We're not a team." Lance contradicted "We're only working together just this once."
"But we still need a name." Ben persisted
"How about 'Heroes United'?" Zak offered
"Team Awesome?" Jake questioned
"The Warriors of Coolness?" Ben threw in
"The League of Awesome?" Rex threw in as well
"The Super Friends?" Ron asked. Everyone looked at him, even Rufus, silently saying 'really?'
"Hey, it was just a suggestion." He added
"We don't need to think of that now." Danny said "We are on a time limit."
"Okay fine." Rex conceded "But if we survive this, we are coming up with a name."
Me: Done
Coyoteprime1100: Aw just before the action!
Me: Oh we will get to that.
Mordecai: Final battle is coming up
Rigby: YEaaah
Mordecai/Rigby: OOHHHHHHHH!
Muscleman: You know who else likes final battles? MY MOM!
Me: Grimlock? You're not gonna eat him?
Grimlock: Eh, it's grown on me Grimlock.
Coyoteprime1100: Okay then, so when are they gonna name themselves the you-know-what
Me: That's not till the ending, which is coming soon. So see ya next time.
