30 Worlds: Royal Megaforce, Episode Final: "Masters of the Ultimate Power"
FINAL BOOK*CHAPTER FOUR
On the Bridge of the Gansett, Zenon looked at William as she exited the turbolift. "What's going on, William?" Zenon asked.
"Commodore LaForge at the Fleet Museum has sent a distress call stating that an unknown fleet is approaching Athian Prime," William said.
"Unknown nothing," Zasha said, tapping a few controls on her panel.
On the Gansett's virtual viewscreen, thirty ships—the designs of which were dreadfully familiar—appeared.
"It's the A.I.C.," Zasha said. "And the Great Leader's dreadnought is among them."
"Zenon, send a wide-band hail to the Armada. Tell them I am looking for twenty volunteers to join me in traveling to Athian Prime in order to take on the A.I.C.," William said. "Once that is done, contact Commodore LaForge and warn him that his exhibits will be disappearing momentarily."
Confused at the latter part of William's order, Zenon still proceeded to carry it out.
Once the twenty ships were ready, William looked out at the expanse of space then closed his eyes. Suddenly, a huge flare of light blinded everyone on the Bridge.
Once the flare cleared and eyesight returned to the Bridge crew, seventeen ships of various configurations sat in front of the Gansett.
"Those are all the ships at the Fleet Museum!" Koska said.
Indeed, informational popups on each ship appeared on the virtual viewscreen. "How are we going to use them?" Ellie asked.
"Why don't we hail one of the ships and answer the question?" William said. "Zenon, choose any of the museum ships and hail her."
"Understood, William," Zenon said. "Opening a channel to the USS Wersching."
A surprisingly familiar face appeared on the viewscreen from the Bridge of the Wersching. "Greetings, Your Majesty."
"Father?!" Sofia said.
King Roland of Enchancia smiled. "I couldn't let you shoulder this burden alone, my darling Sofia," Roland said.
The camera view being transmitted from the Wersching widened to reveal Sofia's mother, Miranda, alongside their children James and Princess Amber, as well as many of Sofia's friends from Royal Preparatory Academy.
Miranda smiled. "Sofia, we are so proud of you," she said. "Now let us help you see this battle through to the finish."
"Thanks, Mom," Sofia said. "Gansett, out."
"Suffice it to say, Miss Steckler, we've got people from all thirty worlds we've been to on this journey aboard all of the ships from the Fleet Museum," William said.
"And that's not all," Tori said. "Look!"
William followed Tori's gesture and saw sixteen blue boxes. "Calling the Scarlett Armada flagship. This is The Doctor," a voice called out over the Bridge's communications pickups.
One by one, sixteen holographic projections formed on the Bridge...just as the Thirteenth Doctor came on the Bridge.
"Oh, my Goodness," Thirteen said as she saw her past...and future...selves.
William noticed that the tenth and fourteenth projections appeared virtually identical. "Doctors, thank you for coming to our aid," William said. "For the safety of the timeline, we'll need to limit direct interactions between you all."
Three nodded. "A logical approach, Your Majesty," he said. "After all, our collective future existence depends on those who came before."
"We have one of your later forms here on the Gansett so that avenue is secured, but I will need you all to separate to individual Armada or Starfleet Museum starships to serve as emergency evacuation or transport ships. Stand by for individual assignments," William said. "Gansett, out."
As the holographic displays of the sixteen Doctors shut off, William smiled at Thirteen. "I will trust you will keep those last two to yourself," William said.
"Oh, don't worry, William," Thirteen said. "It's that one before my first form that I am worried about. I don't know her."
"Well, I'm sure you'll find out about her someday, Doctor," William said. "But for now, we need to get to work. Mal, begin assigning the other Doctors to their ships."
"Aye, sir," Mal said before setting to work.

Author's Note: The sixteen Doctors referred to are the thirteen official Doctors (save Thirteen, since she's already on the Gansett, as well as the "unofficial" "War" and "Fugitive" incarnations.
