"Brave 12 in Space"

The Brave 12 were walking through the forest and drinking by a river when an explosion happened.

The birds were scared away, and the Brave 12 fled. They swerved to avoid incoming arrows that exploded on impact until they came across a space habitat in the middle of the forest.

"Wow!" said J.D. "This is really interesting."

Three enormous Mantis Robots emerged from the forest.

"Wow!" exclaimed Vince. "Those Mantis Robots are amazing."

The Mantis Robots prepared their weapons and looked at the Brave 12.

"Uh oh!" uttered one astronaut.

The Mantis Robots noticed the colony. "You were found guilty of violating Aku laws 101 and 203: Habitation in an unauthorized facility and unauthorized construction of an escape vehicle. Your punishment is Extermination."

The Mantis Robots went after the colonists.

"I don't think so!" said J.D. "Come on, guys!"

They slashed apart the Mantis Robots like they were nothing, and they exploded.

"Well, according to my calculations, our chances of escaping are now 334,872 to 1," the second astronaut said with a German accent.

"Interesting odds," Lisa pointed out.

"It is," the second Astronaut said.

"Oh no," muttered the third astronaut in a German accent. "After all these years, we have to go back to work for Aku. I can't do it!" Started crying.

"We didn't mean any harm to you guys," J.D. emphasized. "It's our mission to help free all those that were enslaved because of Aku's tyrannical oppression."

"That's right, so calm yourself, Frederick," the fourth Astronaut said.

"Oh, that's easy for you to say," Frederick argued. "You were just a baby when the rest of us were forced to use our scientific knowledge to build Aku's evil robot army and half of his evil technology."

"My age is irrelevant here," commented the fourth Astronaut. "We should not just give up. We still have a chance."

"Yes," J.D. confirmed. "Not only are we on a mission to free those who have been enslaved by Aku, but our primary mission is to help Jack here in returning to his time to destroy Aku 10,700 years ago."

"That's interesting," commented the Woman Astronaut. "You must be the Brave 12."

"That's right," J.D. replied. "My name is J.D. Knudson."

"My name is Varie Knudson, and I'm J.D.'s fiancée," Varie introduced herself.

"My name is Vince Pusateri, and I'm J.D.'s partner and second in command," Vince explained.

"My name is Jessie Bannon," Jessie introduced herself.

"I'm Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze, J.D. and Vince's adopted younger brother," Naruto introduced himself.

"My name is Sakura Haruno," Sakura introduced herself.

"I'm Fu," Fu introduced herself. "I don't have a last name."

"My name is Lincoln Loud, and these are my younger sisters, Laney, Lisa, and Lily," Lincoln explained.

"Charmed," Laney said.

"Greetings," Lisa said.

"It's a pleasure," Lily said.

Jack added, "And everybody calls me Jack."

"It's a pleasure to meet you all," the fifth Astronaut stated.

"We could use your help," the fourth Astronaut replied. "We need a long enough distraction to get past Aku's Blockade."

"We will gladly help you all," replied J.D. "But Jack and Jessie don't have powers like we do and can't breathe in the endless vacuum of space."

"Leave that to us," the fifth Astronaut added.

"Thank you for your concern, J.D.," Jessie said.

"You're welcome, Jessie," J.D. replied.

2 hours later, Jessie and Jack were tested and outfitted with amazing spacesuits.

"Those spacesuits look great on you both," J.D. complimented.

"Thank you, J.D.," Jessie said.

"Indeed," Lisa agreed.

The rocket launched off the next day, and they were in space.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, we are entering Aku's Blockade," the fourth Astronaut announced.

"Here we go, guys," Lily murmured.

"They're going to launch the First Wave," Frederick explained. "Better get The Brave 12 to the air lock."

The Air Lock opened, and they were launched into space, where it felt incredible to breathe in space.

"Here they come," J.D. shouted, his voice echoing. "They're tick robots!"

They slashed and smashed the Tick Robots until they all exploded.

"That takes care of the Tick Robots," Sakura said, her voice echoing.

"The fuel level is dropping!" Frederick yelled.

"Look!" Vince shouted, his voice echoing. "Mosquito robots!"

They also slashed and smashed them.

They heard a loud buzzing and spotted a large swarm of Hornet Robots.

They fired stinger missiles at them, which they avoided. But they were guided missiles. They had the missiles follow them, and they slashed, smashed, and blasted the Hornet Robots into pieces.

"How's that for splatting bugs!" Fu yelled, her voice echoing.

"Great job, guys!" exclaimed the fourth astronaut.

J.D. replied, "Thank you."

"Get in the pod, guys!" ordered the fourth astronaut.

They did just that.

"Maximum velocity will be achieved in 1.2 minutes," revealed the fourth astronaut.

"Stabilizing retro rockets," the second Astronaut added.

"Standing by," said the female astronaut.

She entered some commands.

"Brave 12, I'm going to lock you in," the female astronaut said. "This is going to be quite a ride."

"All right," J.D. said.

They were held in place by metal straps. Outside, the Hornet Robots were combining into something.

"What is that?" Frederick asked.

"Looks like the bug bots are forming into a giant gun," the fourth Astronaut observed.

The gun was seen as the screens were lowered.

"Look at that!" cried Naruto.

"It looks like a gigantic Badminton Birdie," Laney noted.

"It kinda does," J.D. agreed.

"It's actually a Superlaser Cannon," Lisa clarified.

"We have to stop that thing!" Varie shouted.

"Yeah!" Vince agreed.

They unlock and go after the gun.

"The Brave 12 are unlocking!" cried Frederick.

"What!" screamed the female astronaut.

"Guys, what are you doing?" questioned the fourth Astronaut. "We're almost at top speed!"

"We can't let the robots fire that gun!" J.D. protested.

"The odds of them hitting us at this speed are 325 to one," the second Astronaut replied.

"We cannot take that chance," Jack responded.

"But you'll never make it back in time, guys," the woman Astronaut warned.

"We know," Lisa responded, her voice echoing. "But you guys go."

"Start the countdown!" shouted the fourth Astronaut.

"But what about the Brave 12?" Frederick queried.

"Darn it, there's no time!" grumbled the fourth Astronaut.

The warp drive countdown began.

The gun charged up and J.D. charged up a Kamehameha Wave. "KAAA! MEEE! HAAA! MEEE!"

J.D. and the gun fired at the same time.

"HAAAAAAAAAA!" J.D. screamed.

The blasts collided. As J.D.'s technique overtook the cannon's laser, the rocket went into faster-than-light travel and exploded with incredible power.

J.D. protected them in a force field bubble, and the explosion blew them back to Earth, where they reentered the planet's atmosphere and crashed.

They were unharmed.

"Is everyone okay?" J.D. asked.

"Yeah, we're fine," Vince answered. "Good thinking."

"Thank you, guys," J.D. said.

They saved the Astronauts from Aku's oppression and sacrificed their way back to Jack's time to save them in a heroic act of immeasurable sacrifice and selflessness.
