The Enterprise remained in orbit of the Unaligned World of Cobra Kai after King William and Queen Sofia learned that the Army of Inter-Universal Chaos had kidnapped Samantha LaRusso and Robby Keene, the daughter and son of Cobra Kai Key components Daniel LaRusso and Johnny Lawrence, respectively.
An agent of Scarlett Army Intelligence based in the Unaligned World of NCIS hired a private detective, who was able to locate the place where Samantha and Robby were being held captive. But just as William and the King's Hand arrived at the site of the A.I.C. base, they learned that Samantha and Robby had effected their own liberation.
Upon reuniting with their fathers, Samantha and Robby provided William with clues to the identity of the A.I.C. action commander. The main clue—the smell of a cigar—led William, Johnny and Daniel to correctly assume that former Cobra Kai karate teacher John Kreese was behind the kidnapping as part of a plan that was ultimately thwarted by the operatives of the Scarlett Army's Office of Special Projects.
After gathering Cobra Kai trainees who were loyal to Johnny and his teaching style, the crew of the Enterprise were able to defeat Kreese and his group of Cobra Kai trainees. After this, the final five worlds were waiting...
PROLOGUE
Aboard Dimensional Defense Vessel Enterprise SAV-1701-A
Corridor Outside King William and Queen Sofia's Guest Quarters
King William of Cinnabar exited the turbolift onto Deck Five, the location of the Married Officers' and VIP Visitor's Quarters section. A voice came over the Enterprise's communications systems. "Bridge to King William," it said.
"Go ahead, Mal," William said. "William, you're receiving an encrypted transmission from the Unaligned World of Mass Effect," Princess Consort Mal of Auradon said. "The encryption has a Cinnabarian Shadow Guard signature."
William looked over and saw that he was close to his and wife Queen Sofia's guest quarters. "Route the transmission to mine and Queen Sofia's quarters," William said. "Aye, sir," Mal said. William walked into his and Sofia's quarters, where a gray and white rabbit was sitting on the living area couch and watching a video on a holographic screen.
"Hey there, William," the rabbit said. "Hey there yourself, Clover," William said. "Sofia been back yet?" Clover, Sofia's pet rabbit going back to her childhood in Enchancia in the World of Sofia the First, shook his head. "Not yet," Clover said. "She and Rose are still meditating on the holodeck."
William nodded. "Clover, I gotta take an important transmission. Mind if you can pick up your program in the bedroom while I look at it?" he asked. "No problem," Clover said. "E.R.I.N., transfer video on currently-active holgraphic display to bedroom screen," William commanded. "Understood, William," E.R.I.N., the Enterprise's artificial intelligence, said.
Clover nodded at William before hopping into the bedroom. William then sat behind a desk in the work area and tapped a few keys. The crest of the Cinnabarian Shadow Guard appeared on the monitor before switching to the prerecorded image of the C.S.G. operative assigned to the Unaligned World of Mass Effect.
"Cinnabarian Shadow Guard Mission Report, The Alternate Eighth Doctor recording," the operative said. "Mission progressing according to parameters. Expect to declare mission complete before the end of this week, providing that the A.I.C. does not show up, of course."
The Alternate Eighth Doctor sighed as he leaned back in his chair. As he did, he rubbed the bridge of his nose. "On a personal note, I find myself missing Katie. While Henrick and Bernice are suitable companions for this mission, I believe that Katie Tollinger will be the companion I miss the most of in my travels going forward," he added before reaching for a control. The screen went dark.
William smiled. He knew that with the final five worlds waiting in front of the Scarlett Army fleet and the final battles with the Army of Inter-Universal Chaos that those worlds would bring, moments of quiet peace would be few and far between until the battles were over once and for all and that those moments should be enjoyed for as long as possible when they came.
So, William stood from his desk and moved over to the room's food replicator. "Taco Salad, configuration Felchenerow-2-Beta and a cup of cherry soda, chilled to -3 degrees Centigrade," William ordered. The requested items appeared on the reception pad.
William moved over to sit down in the living area and began to eat. As soon as he was done, William returned the plate, utensils and empty glass to the replicator and recycled them. The door chime sounded. "Who is it?" William asked.
"It's Sofia," the voice on the other side said. "Come in," William said. The doors slid open to reveal William's wife, Queen Sofia. "How were your meditations?" William said. "Fine, but we need to talk," Sofia said.
William gestured for Sofia to follow him over to the living area couch. "What about?" William said as they sat down. "Bill, have you ever wondered what form the Grand Key would take once all thirty worlds' Key components were gathered together?" Sofia asked.
"Well, I have always assumed it would be a weapon of some sort that I would use to defeat Xur once and for all," William said. "I always assumed that too," Sofia said. "But as I meditated with Rose on the holodeck, Master Yen Sid appeared to me and said that the Grand Key would be an instrument of peace."
"Okay," William said. "Did Master tell you what this instrument of peace would be?" "Yes," Sofia said. "Well?" William asked. Sofia sighed, then said "Remember back in the Unaligned World of Star Trek when we had that little scare?"
William nodded. Just after the resolution of the Golden Voyagers crisis, William noticed that Sofia wasn't drinking champagne at the formal re-commissioning ceremony for the Enterprise-A. A few hours later, Sofia expressed to William her belief that she was pregnant.
Then, after learning that she wasn't pregnant but, rather, was experiencing a particularly nasty bout of food poisoning, Sofia confessed to William that even before their arrival in the Unaligned World of Star Trek, she had been receiving birth control treatments. In making this confession, Sofia said to William that she believed that it would be best to wait to actually get pregnant until after the final defeat of Xur.
"Are you suggesting, then, that in order to actually even have a chance to defeat Xur and the A.I.C. forever, you need to have a baby as soon as possible?" William said. "Not necessarily," Sofia said. "I believe that, based on Master Yen Sid's information, the Grand Key...will be our baby."
William shook his head. "Have you even gone to Sickbay to speak to Doc about this?" William asked. "I did on my way back here," Sofia said. "Doc terminated my birth control treatments, but she also said that we need to wait about a month and a half to even try to conceive."
"Because of the buildup of the contraceptives currently in your system?" William asked. "Exactly," Sofia said. "I see, Sofia," William said. "If it were anyone else but you telling me this, I'd have had them thrown in the Brig on a 302 hold."
"A...what?" Sofia asked. "I'll explain later," William said. "Suffice it to say, anyone but you would have been thrown into the looney bin by now after saying what you've said. But as it is you, I'll trust you."

Note from William "Blissey" Raymer: A "302 hold" is a mental health hold in the state of Pennsylvania where people can be committed without their consent if they are proven to be a threat to themselves and/or others. I found this reference in a YouTube video which you can find the link to in my profile.
