We're back folks!🎉🎉🎉
And we're just twelve days away from the release of Suicide Squad Kill The Justice League. And finally I've pre-ordered my copy inspite of many negative backlashes it has been getting. I just hope I don't regret it and enjoy what I can. Maybe we'll all enjoy it or I'll just enjoy it as a personal enjoyment or I might join the hate train. 😬
"Money well tested in fire I'd say." Maverick quipped. 💵💸💰
And speaking of backlashes. I have seen the Marvel show Echo. And from what I've seen, a lot of people did not like the show. And just like my days of Man Of Steel. I'm probably one of the few people that kinda liked the show. Which is fine. I'm trying to hate it with everyone else. But I just can't bring myself to. The acting is pretty good. The effects are decent. Certain fight scenes seem to be suspenseful enough. But I would say that the pacing is pretty off putting at times. And there were a few stunts that were kind of fake, but we're a few 90s action films I enjoyed. The scenes with kingpin are possibly my favorite parts and our main deaf heroine is played by an actual deaf actress, she is putting her all into this role. And I hope they bring her back for better material in the future.
I will admit, the show does lack the same excitement, action in gray thriller of high spectacle, and physical performances like the Daredevil series. but with everybody saying that those Netflix marvel shows are now canon and with the Red Double D himself coming back for a new show. it's safe to say that mediocre is not permanent.
I'm gonna give Echo a 6.9 out of 10. Maybe a 7 if you're still into these shows. I'll still watch em though.👌👌
It's a show that I think is worth seeing once or just a few times. Just to get well informed and up to speed on what might happen next. It's still in my opinion better than Secret Invasions.
Anyway, with that info out of the way. Let me be the first to say. If Buzz Lightyear can be a real space ranger in another Multiverse. Then why not a certain other hero? 😉
Now to answer some comments! ⌨️
SPYRO 101: Thanks pal! I appreciate the help with this chapter. And thanks for the idea. 😁👍
RustyPete12: Yeah, that King Trevor was something else. I've not really played WIZARD 101 but who knows? Trevor JR and his lady will be alright. It's Trevor we should be worried about. After all, his surprise gift could mean the end of his sanity. And yeah, the King and Queen's memories are back and Baby Varian will grow up with a wonderful family. A mother and father who missed out on their daughter growing up, are given a second chance to watch their adopted son grow up. Through all the stages of childhood. Thank you for your support as always. 👍
Alright! Now that we're all here!
LET'S GET DANGEROUS! 😎
Like A Bolt Out Of The Blue.
Somewhere across reality...
As the Multiverse and its many stars glimmered over the vast horizon of space and time. A giant bald man with white eyes and a blue scholar like rope was hovering and conjoined against the stars. Observing the Multiverse and it's many possible history and stories.
This was Uatu the Watcher. A godlike space being of infinite knowledge who shares his interest to any who might be listening.
***"Time. Space. Reality. It's more than a linear path. It's a prism of unless possibility. Where every single choice and difference can branch out into infinite realities. Creating alternate worlds from the ones you know. I am Uatu. The Watcher. And I am a guide through these vast new realities. That is...when the Maverick is too busy telling his story through action to even stop and talk."*** Uatu stated.
Then he shifted and showed images of the dog Bolt from a TV show star who knew nothing of the real world. The only desire he had was to protect his owner. Penny. The little girl he loved.
***"I am sure you are aware of this story. The story of a dog who was robbed of the real world and forced to live behind the scenes of a TV show. A show that he thought was real. Until a cliffhanger caused him to get lost and slowly open his eyes to the real world. Before he inevitably ended up back in the arms of the little girl he loved."*** Uatu the Watcher stated as the image of Penny hugging Bolt and meeting her friends in Twilight Town were shown.
Even the image of Aiden healing Bolt at the hospital was shown.
***"But much like a certain space toy who's reality is fiction in one Mirrorverse but real in another. What if...Bolt's fantasy…..was reality?"*** Uatu stated the What If question.
5 years earlier at Silver Lake Animal Rescue center...
The scene opens up to a place called Silver Lake Animal Rescue.
The one running the place walked up to the front window and flipped a sign over, saying the place was now open for business.
Inside the building was a pen surrounded by Glass. And inside the pen were the cutest puppies. One of which was a white fur one, a white Swiss Shepherd puppy, who was asleep at the moment, until he woke up a few seconds later, giving an adorable yawn as he stretched out. Now fully awake, he was panting happily. He then noticed his favorite chew toy, which was in the shape of a carrot with a smiley face on it. He glared at it before pouncing on it, causing it to squeak.
"Bark." The puppy jumped back in surprise before pouncing on it again
Meanwhile, the other puppies in the pen began moving around the glass wall, following wherever the owner of the shop was. The white puppy looked at him too, before happily going back to his toy, which he started chewing on. The owner moved around again and the puppies followed, running past the white puppy, knocking him over and dropping his toy. He got up a second later panting happily before glaring at his toy and pouncing on it again and chewing on it, rolling onto his back before pausing as something caught his eye... Or someone.
It was an eight year old girl with short brown hair, wearing a yellow shirt with flowers, blue shorts, and pink shoes. This was Penny.
Penny walked up to the pen smiling and looking at the white puppy, who was now back on his feet, staring back with his toy in his mouth. Suddenly, he noticed his tail wagging happily.
"Bark! Bark!" The white puppy started chasing his tail, making Penny giggle at how cute he was.
"That one." Penny said, putting a hand on the glass, which the white puppy saw and did the same with his paws, panting happily.
"Here boy." The owner said as he gently picked the puppy up.
"Bark bark!" The puppy barked happily as he was placed in the young girl's arms.
Penny hugged the puppy with a smile.
"You're heavy." Penny said, holding him up, and received licks to her face, making her giggle. "Hehehe! And slobbery."
Penny then gently set him down on the ground and kneeled in front of him, holding his face, and received more doggie kisses as she reached into her pocket and pulled out a collar, which she put on the puppy.
On the collar was a tag with the word Bolt on it. That was his new name. Bolt.
"There. You're a good boy." Penny cooed, giving him a kiss on the forehead and petting him, earning more licks. "You're my good boy."
Penny then pulled Bolt into a loving hug, symbolizing the beginning of a beautiful friendship.
***"From then on. A bond was formed. One that would define the course of this heroic dog's journey. Whether in reality. Or fantasy."*** The Watcher stated.
Five years later in Los Angeles...
Penny and Bolt were sitting on a park bench with her scooter leaned against it. Penny was now thirteen years old and Bolt was a grown dog. And they were sitting there to answer an immediate call after Penny just got out of school that day.
This sudden phone call became something dangerously important.
*"Hello?"* Penny said into the phone.
On the other end was her father, Professor James Forrester.
"Penny! I don't have much time!" James exclaimed in a panicked voice.
*"Daddy? A-are you okay?"* Penny asked, concerned.
"Something's, come up at work, honey. Daddy's not gonna be home for a while." James said as ominous shadows moved closer to him.
Back with Penny and Bolt in the park. Penny was becoming scared. And Bolt could sense her concern as he looked worried.
"I don't understand." Penny said with a scared voice.
*"You can't go back to the house, Penny. Okay?"* James said.
"What's happening?" Penny asked with great concern.
*"It's alright. You won't be alone."* James said as he was remembering those days when he would be checking on his daughter and Bolt as they slept in bed. *"You have Bolt."*
Flashback, James Forrester's secret lab….
James was in a hazmat suit, with Bolt inside of a glass chamber while he operated some type of genetic enhancement machine which he activated, sending energy into Bolt and around the dog.
"I've altered him." James said, as a terminal screen showed how Bolt was slowly changed, becoming stronger, faster, and gifted abilities beyond comprehension, making him one of the strongest living beings in the world. "He can protect you now."
Bolt's eyes glowed an electric yellow, and a black lightning bolt mark appeared on his side.
He has become Bolt, the Superdog.
***"After since. Penny had been on the run from the men who took her father. Professor James Forrester, a 21st pioneer in Quantum Physics and inner dimensional theory. Forrester worked with his co-worker Doctor Cecil Calico. A man who's fascinations for the Multiverse turned into dark ambitions for power. They worked together on a project to open a portal into another world. But unfortunately due to their technology being too far behind compared to other more advanced worlds. There's only so much the 21st century can do."*** Uatu the Watcher stated as he showed images of certain events.
An image of a young Professor Forrester and a young Doctor Calico posing for a picture at their office was shown.
Then the image of a large metallic gateway in a testing facility was shown. Followed by a slow moving images of the portal collapsing and causing a small rupture within the room. Several people died in the explosion.
And Calico's right eye was damaged from the energy.
***"Because of the accident. The city had the project shut down and Calico resigned, persisting to keep the experiment going. Whether the government wanted him to or not. So he started his own underground criminal empire. Promising vast amounts of wealth if he succeeded. And given that he acquired a fortune from inventing weapons. Money was no object in acquiring his minions. Staff and his private army of mercenaries."*** The Watcher stated.
An image of Calico winning the Nobel Prize. And another image was shown of him sitting in a chair with a dark suit and tie. Talking to a group of mercs in black combat attire.
***"It took him years to come close to finishing his project in secret. A project that he was forbidden from ever pursuing. But he came close. All that's needed is the work of his once close friend."*** Uatu stated.
Somewhere in an undisclosed location...
James Forrester was locked into a chair in a dark room. Staring at the floor in silence. He was taken by Calico's men right after he warned his daughter to not come home. There he was. Held against his will. Unwilling to talk.
Just then. Two sliding doors opened and Dr. Calico walked in. Casually and slowly walking in a sinister manner.
"We meet again, Old friend. I hope you enjoyed the ride over here. It's a shame your daughter wasn't there. I was actually looking forward to meeting her." Dr. Calico grinned as he walked up as he stood in front of James Forrester. "You should've accept my invitation when you had the chance. I wish things were different. But you think too much like the fools who shut us down."
"I know why you brought me here. And the answer is still no." James said with narrowed eyes. "I will not help you put our world at risk."
"Risk is what made us who we are, James. It's why Abigail loved you, it's what made us great friends." Dr. Calico stated as he walked around his chair.
James looked down at the mention of his deceased wife, Abigail. And Dr. Calico placed a hand on his shoulder. The accident that took place with the portal. Abigail was one of the victims. She was a scientist like Forrester. And the risk of science took her away.
"We both lost something that day. But imagine it. If we finish what we started. We could find her again. Perhaps in a world where she lost you instead. Our world doesn't have to be broken and limited, James. We could make it better. Bring so much together." Dr. Calico said as he looked off in fascination. "All of our problems are solved in another world. If they could share what they know. Or we could share what we know. Think of the results. The convenience."
"I understand, Cecil, more than you know. I have thought about it a hundred times now and I value the possibilities." James said honestly. "But it's not worth the cost if things turn south on us like they did last time."
Dr. Calico looked down at him in response. "No cost is too high." He declared as some of his cats were roaming around the room.
Just then. A guard walked into the room.
"Your meeting is set up, Doctor." The guard said.
"Good. Bring our guest over. Make sure he is restrained." Dr Calico grinned as he walked out.
After that the guard nodded and obeyed his order. Thankfully James made sure to at least co-operate when he was escorted out. But nothing was going to get him to agree or help Calico with his plans.
Unless something were to push the right buttons. Concerning the one human being he can't live without. And that's his daughter.
Somewhere on the rooftops of Los Angeles...
Penny and Bolt burst through a door onto the roof, moving quickly as they went. Penny has been on the run ever since her father last called her. Hiding for almost two weeks. While putting together a plan to save her father. While putting her equipment together and training her dog how to fight. She couldn't go to the police due to Calico having certain cops on his payroll. So it was up to her and Bolt, and this is where their investigation led them.
They moved towards the ledge of the building with Bolt standing on a few crates to look out for trouble.
Penny kneeled and pulled out of her backpack a pair of high-tech binoculars, and pressed a button, which added a microphone to listen in on who she was watching.
She was looking at the building across from them, and the binoculars used its special programming to see right through to a room and listen in as if they were there.
The image showed a man sitting at his desk while conversing with a projected screen of Dr. Calico, who had a black cat on his shoulders.
"The doctor has been taken care of. Which of course is wonderful news. Everything is positioning nicely." Dr. Calico said, scratching the cat's ears.
"There he is. Dr. Calico." Penny muttered with narrowed eyes before moving to hold the binoculars in front of Bolt so he could see, making him growl angrily.
"Any luck getting our guest to spill his guts?" The man at the desk asked, his glasses reflecting the image of Dr. Calico.
"Oh, his guts will spill. One way or another." Dr. Calico said, stepping to the side to reveal James bound to a chair behind him, with another cat on top of a crate, glaring at him.
"Never! I'll never talk!" James exclaimed definitely.
"Rowr." The cat on the crate hissed.
"Daddy!" Penny gasped in worry at seeing her father in trouble.
"You're beginning to irk me, Professor. I am irked. And that will not do." Dr. Calico said threateningly to James before turning back to his partner. "Has the package arrived? I think it might make our dear friend a bit more communicative."
"I'm sending an agent to pick it up." The man said, gesturing for an agent standing by to head out there.
"Gorgeous! Have him bring it to me on the first flight." Dr. Calico said, scratching his cat's ears before the transmission ended, and the agent walked out the door to collect said... Package.
The agent was part of a secret group unknown to the public. And they have interest in Calico's illegal project.
Another bold and dark skin agent with a suit and tie with sunglasses walked out of the building from the lobby and went down the street and was casually walking into an empty alley. But from a bench nearby. Penny was sitting there. Pretending to read a teen magazine. While Bolt was sitting near her. Pretending to read a dog magazine.
Penny had trained her dog in how to fight. Hide. Defend and defend others. She had to use some empty parks and certain hideouts to do so. But all of her training was paying off. Bolt's energy altered abilities didn't just make him super strong. Fast and agile. But also incredibly smart for a dog.
Once the agent went down the alley, Penny dropped the magazine. "Bolt let's go." She called her dog who dropped his magazine to follow her.
They went down the alley quietly sneaking and following the agent who went into a corner. They both walked over to the corner and saw that the agent was gone. As Penny looked around. The roaring of the engine in a black mercedes car straight ahead alerted them.
***VROOOM! VROOM!***
The agent they were following was inside as Dr. Calico displayed on the hands free screen in front.
***"Bring me, the girl."*** Dr. Calico ordered on the screen.
Then the agent shifted the gas and went full speed towards them in the alley. Penny stood back while Bolt growled and charged towards the car. The dog aimed his head at the front of the car. And he charged head on as the car didn't seem to stop. And neither did Bolt.
Bolt then...Rammed his head into the grills of the car and...
***SLAM!***
The car flipped over in the air over Penny and crashed upside down right behind her. While Bolt sat and scratched his ear casually like a dog.
Penny approached the front of the car as the cracked car window slid open and the agent eas still seated due to his seat belt.
"What?" The agent glared.
"Where's Calico?" Penny glared back.
"I'm not talkin to you..." The agent hissed.
Big mistake.
A few minutes down at the Vincent Thomas Bridge...
At the famous suspension bridge, crossing Los Angeles Harbor in Los Angeles, California, linking San Pedro with Terminal Island.
Penny was with Bolt at the edge side of the bridge. While Bolt was using his super strong jaws to hold the car over the bridge, with the agent inside.
"BOLIVIA! BOLIVIA! CALICO'S IN BOLIVIA!" NEAR LAKE ROGAGUADO!" The agent confessed.
"Lake Rogaguado. I should've known." Penny muttered to herself in a critiquing tone.
It's so obvious that a high profiled Doctor like Calico who chose an undisclosed location like Lake Rogaguado to set up shop.
Just then. Penny noticed three helicopter's coming from over the waters at a distance. Obviously to abduct her.
"Come on, Bolt. Let's go." Penny alerted her dog as she ran off.
Bolt then threw the car back onto the ground making the agent briefly freak out. Since Penny's mother Abigail Forrester was an engineer. She inherited her mother's skills as she took a piece of some type of gadget tech out of her backpack and extended it into some red and silver, fast battery power turbo scooter. She put her helmet on and narrowed her eyes for the wild ride to come.
Bolt ran ahead while Penny drove up to match his speed. The helicopters chased after them. Speeding across town as the helicopters were doing their best to keep up with them. Bolt and Penny ran and drove across alleys and took short cuts to try to lose the helicopters. While Penny activated her spy glass visor on the helmet and asked her A.I. To find her next location.
"Bolivia!" Penny requested as she drove.
Her computer voice command showed the location of a plane over at the airport. Which was labeled ***'Flight BOL435'***showing that they had less than ten minutes to catch up and hitch a ride.
"There's a flight leaving in ten minutes!" Penny told her dog as they were still being chased by the helicopter.
Penny saw the helicopters eject at leash six mercenary troops on motorcycles as they sparked their taser gloves to try and stun either Penny or Bolt.
While at high speed on her scooter. It couldn't go any faster. But it's built to keep up with Bolt's super speed. So she decided to fight sinister with super.
"Bolt! Zoom zoom!" Penny smirked as she drove.
Bolt nodded and ran ahead of her. Penny pushed a button on her scooter handle to fire a tether string and Bolt snatched the end handle with his teeth. Before he zoomed at high speed. To get away.
Dodging a couple of passing cars and even going under a truck. Penny held on tight on her scooter as Bolt led her through the traffic. But as Bolt resumed at a certain high speed in front of a gas truck. They saw on the reflection that the mercs kept up.
So Bolt ran towards an empty warehouse with them following and he rammed through a brick wall. Smashing it open with Penny leaping over the debris.
And the bike troops dropped and fell on the debris. Bolt and Penny made it to the freeway. But two biker mercs rode up from another headway over pass and landed behind Bolt and Penny and resumed chasing them. Knowing they had to get the dog away with a diversion. One of them activated a bomb plate, one minute before it blows, and the merc tossed it to the other side of a back way bridge. Where the bomb landed on a gas truck that was driving next to a school bus.
Penny knew this was a risk, but she couldn't let those children die.
"Bolt! Fetch!" Penny told her dog.
Bolt lets the tether handle go to run over and leap across toward the other side. Where he quickly caught up to the gas truck and jumped to take the bomb in his jaw. Then he ran over to the ledge one the other side of the bus. Where the children noticed him.
"Puppy!" One of the little girls inside pointed at him while a lot of the other children noticed him.
Bolt looked back to notice two merc helicopters were chasing him from the air.
As the dog was running. He noticed a construction sight down below and a crane hook down below. Once he got close. He jumped down and landed to swing on the crane hook while the bomb was still in his mouth. With only 33 seconds left.
Bolt swung over to land on a passing subway train. Which bented the top above a woman who was disturbed a bit while she was on her laptop. As Bolt ran across the train. He heard one of the helicopters about to fire on him. So Bolt turned and fired his laser vision at the helicopter from below to damage its rotary functions. Causing the helicopter to crash on the other side. Away from civilians.
The other helicopter came up and dropped off another biker merc who started chasing Bolt. Then the merc fired two missiles from his motorcycle. Bolt looked back and saw it as he jumped off the train and ran across an empty shipping yard where he saw Penny still being chased straight ahead. Avoiding the biker merc's taser gloves as she was driving her turbo scooter.
Penny managed to make one Merc reach up to grab her. Only to grab his partner who screamed as he was shocked and crashed off his bike.
Bolt ran towards her. But as he was about to jump over a canal. A merc helicopter came from below the canal. And aimed to fire at Bolt. Who jumped over the chopper's targeting range and over the rotors and landed below. Only for the missiles that were chasing Bolt to blast the chopper.
***BOOOOM!***
The blast was so hard. An empty cup on the edge of the harbor outside the city fell over.
Penny was still being chased by one more merc biker.
The merc was getting closer, reaching out with his electrified hand, only to pause as he heard and felt something on his head and back.
He turned his head to see Bolt on him, and heard beeping, making him look up as Bolt jumped off, to see the bomb from earlier on top of his head.
He grabbed it and turned to see that there were three seconds left.
Reacting quickly, he threw the bomb upward, only for it to attach to the bottom of a Merc helicopter.
**BOOOM!**
The helicopter exploded above him.
Realizing what he's done, he moved to facepalm at his own stupidity.
**ZAAAAAAP!**
"Aaaah!" Only he zapped himself with his electrified hand, causing him to fall off his bike.
"Good boy!" Penny said to Bolt.
"Arf! Arf!" Bolt barked as he ran alongside Penny's scooter.
"Now, to the airport." Penny said before they made a turn into the exit on the highway that led to the airport.
Penny was on the road to the Los Angeles airport but her eyes widened when she saw over a dozen helicopters. Fifty ground vehicles of vans, and black armored cars driving towards her like an army as the dust gathered around them. It's like they know how dangerous Bolt is.
"Uh oh." Penny said as she stopped her turbo scooter. There was only one way out as a means to get out of this group.
They had to catch that plane.
"Bolt. Speak." Penny said simply as she looked at the approaching army.
Bolt glared before stepping forward, getting into position as Penny kneeled behind him with her hands on her head, preparing for what was about to happen.
Bolt glared at them before reeling his head back before…
***"RUUUUF!"*** Bolt let out a massive bark so powerful, it sent a shockwave through the air, and caused the ground in front of him to move forward in an earthy wave, which collided with all the cars, trucks, bikes, and helicopters, sending them all flying about.
There was one Merc who was running around, dodging for his life as cars, trucks and helicopters fell down around him until he was forced to dive out of the way of a car before everything settled again.
With that small army dealt with. Penny stood up and got back on her scooter. "Good boy." Penny grinned as she then drove past the damage. "I'd love to see what the news says about this!"
Bolt ran with her. As they were making their way to the Airport to hitch a ride onto the plane that was heading to Bolivia.
By the time they made it to the L.A. Bolt and Penny snuck past security and saw their plane straight ahead. They didn't have time to book a ticket. So they needed to hide in another way. They saw one of the cargo crates empty and she whispered an idea to Bolt. Who nodded in agreement.
When the crates were being loaded into the cargo bay area of the plane. They were aware that one of the crates were switched. With Bolt and Penny hiding inside. No one noticed and that crate was full of gas reserves for unneeded emergencies. The plane's gas was full anyway.
Once they were in the cargo. Bay and the plane tool off. Penny took a sigh of relief and leaned back into the crate.
"Whew...What a rush." Penny sighed as Bolt stood on guard.
Bolt was looking around to check for danger. As he was using his x-ray vision to view who the passengers were.
"It's okay, Bolt. We're safe for now." Penny said reassuringly while petting his head. "We've got twelve hours to take a breather before we get to Bolivia."
Bolt was still anxious. He wasn't going to let anything happen to Penny. But he soon relaxed as he sat next to her and snuggled close. He whined just a bit as he yawned and she held his head against her lap.
"Yeah...You're my good boy." Penny cooed as she kissed the top of his head. And they felt the plane take off.
They have time to relax. Because as soon as this plane lands. They're heading to Lake Rogaguado. To where Dr. Calico is keeping her father.
Meanwhile on Xandar...
The vast shining alien city of the Nova Empire gleamed with lights that wwre far advance than Vagas and Los Angeles alike. The metallic futuristic buildings that resemble some of the cities from fictional Video Games like the Mass Effect trilogy was such a sight to beheld.
Inside one of the luxurious silver hovercars which served as a hover limousine. Orion was wearing dark blue jeans with crimson sneakers. A dsrk red t shirt and a black leather jacket with two red neon stream going down in front od both ends of his jacket. As he was seated in one of the passengers lounges. Enjoying the view and sipping a blue drink from a glass like a rich guy.
The interior of the limousine was a mix of black and silver. With the seats made of leather like a couch. With the the windows being clear from the inside but tinted on the out.
Which is a good thing considering that Orion brought his sister Rapunzel along for a tour of the neighborhood.
Rapunzel was now wearing a pink strapless and sparkling dress with the front of the dress above her cleavage, threaded together. And the dress went to a few inches above her knees, showing off her smooth legs and bare feet.
The dress had the sparkling patterns wave a bit. Since Xandar has multiple alien cultures. Some who don't wear shoes due to their species or culture. She won't attract any attention like making a scene.
"Zel, don't lean too close to the glass. We're like a few hundred feet off the ground. More like a thousand." Orion called over to Rapunzel who was sitting at the back to look out onto the city.
"I can't help. This city looks so amazing." Rapunzel said excitedly as she took in the sights. "I'm just so happy I finally get to see your other home besides Corona."
It's funny. Orion had hologram displays on the dashes and mini fridges. A star simulator on the ceiling. And even a wide screen TV. And yet Rapunzel was more fascinated by seeing the city outside.
"I was just about six years old when I first came here. Just for a vacation." Orion said and point outside. "I used to run wild at the continent sized toy shop inside that building over there. My Mom almost obliterated their inventory."
"Oooh, I wanna see everything this place has to offer." Rapunzel said as she sat back down kicking her bare feet about excitedly. "Do you know of any great candy shops or bakeries here?"
"There's over twenty to thirty different bakeries and sweetshops around here. But some of them are categorized for certain species." Orion answered with a grin.
"Oooh, I think I just found paradise." Rapunzel said, her mouth watering inside.
"Just whatever you do. Don't eat any candy meant for a Kronan. It feels like you'll swallow thumb tacks, and especially avoid all A'Askavariian baking goods. Especially their brand of sour breading. I once ate an A'asavarian sour cupcake. That shit's like acid. It took three hours for my livers and everything else to grow back." Orion warned and cringed.
"Yeah. I'll definitely avoid those ones, especially since I don't have a healing factor like you." Rapunzel said with a cringe at the thought. "Any others I should try to avoid?"
"Oh yeah and anything that moves. But I know at least a dozen different candy shops and bakeries with menu items that won't kill you. Hell these places aren't as deadly as high fructose corn syrup." Orion assured.
"Maybe you can write that down for me when we get back to your apartment." Rapunzel said as she looked out the window. "Speaking of which, do you know any of the neighbors you have in your apartment building?"
"Eh a few. Two of them are freedom fighters who escaped Sakaar. And my next door neighbor is an old human-ish lady name Al." Orion stated before he looked at the Readers. "And yes. No one else but Leslie can play her."
Flashback to the Xandarian Dry Cleaners a few blocks away...
Blind Al was busy standing in line waiting to get her coat dry cleaned. As the line was slow. Al was an old black lady with dark glasses and a cain. While she wore a purple sweater and gray warm ups with sneakers. She's blind she can't tell what her colors are so it doesn't matter.
"God I miss tarran based cocaine." Blind Al exhaled in frustration.
Way at the back of the line. Orion was standing there in his keyblader attire with one of his leather jackets. Waiting to get it dry cleaned.
"Her." Orion said while looking at the Readers and gasped. "Fourth wall break inside a fourth wall break. That's like, sixteen walls."
Flashback ended...
As Orion continued his conversation with Rapunzel about Blind Al.
"She's like Robin to my Batman except she's old, and black, and blind, and I think she's in love with me." Orion quipped the description. "Wait. Pretty sure Robin loves Batman too."
"I hope not. She's probably old enough to be your grandmother." Rapunzel said with a giggle.
"Probably old enough to date my great grandfather's mohel. If he wasn't retired right now in Mel Blanc's current neighborhood." Orion quipped and explained. "After my illegal Weapon X parody experiment. Sideshow Bob I got off world at one point during my search for Ajax the cock thistle. And I crashed at her dumb since I couldn't blend in with the skin of Minute Made Fruit Punch. After coming back to Corona and dealing with our last finale. I moved into Xandar and got her a nice place just a floor right below mine. And yes. The walls are sound proof. Thank God."
"For who's sake?" Rapunzel asked with a smirk. "Knowing you and Friday, you two probably test the effectiveness of those soundproof walls every night."
"That and let's just say Al likes to sleep with the windows closed and the sheets thin. Especially after eating cauliflower based products." Orion cringed remembering the times he held his nose from the farts.
"Okay. That's more than I needed to know." Rapunzel nervously replied.
Just then the limousine parked near one of the landing platforms. Right next to the lobby of his main apartment building. Or rather they landed on the fiftieth floor of the building. Which still had many more floors up to go.
That and the limousine was on autopilot.
'Now arriving at your destination...' The autopilot announced as it parked.
Orion went ahead of the exited and helped Rapunzel step out. She looked down to see that the ground was very smooth and metallic. Which reminded her of the Mav Club's floor.
"Wanna take the elevator or the quicker way up?" Orion asked as he hinted to teleport inside.
"I say we take the elevator." Rapunzel said as she picked.
Orion nodded and lead her through the secondary lobby. Where they passed by a large Kronan in a yellow floral patterned button t shirt and black leather pants while holding a large packet in his arms.
And another alien pink insectoid female with a cybernetic exoskeleton and robot limbs for arms and legs. As she was walking next to the Kronan.
This was Korg and his best friend Miek.
"Oh Ello, Forge. Thought you were dead like the Kronan tabloids said. My bad. No harm done though." Korg spoke in his casual Liverpool accent.
"Hello Korg." Orion sighed in mild exasperation. "How was date night?"
"All good. Though I think my date died. I'm gonna go down to the Bristo and see tomorrow." Korg shrugged.
"He's kidding, right?" Rapunzel whispered to Orion.
"I'm not sure." Orion whispered back.
"Ello. I'm Korg, this is my buddy Miek. I'm made of rocks as you can see, but don't let that intimate you, unless you're made of sisters." Korg introduced himself. With a small chuckle.
Miek made some insect noises as she waved at Rapunzel.
"It's nice to meet you." Rapunzel said with a small smile. "I'm Rapunzel, Ryan's sister."
"Ryan. Who's Ryan. You mean the lizard taxidermy in uptown?" Korg asked as he missed that.
Pascal squeaked in fear and shock inside Rapunzel's pocket after hearing that there's a taxidermist for reptiles.
Korg never heard of Orion's nickname. Or he doesn't remember.
"Oh no. I mean Forge." Rapunzel smiled with a giggle.
"Oooh you mean your the one that died long time ago!" Korg gasped in suprised as he softly patted her hair. "Well welcome back. I'll one day have to compare stories to the time I thought Miek died."
Korg obviously thought Rapunzel was Trish by that statement.
"No, I'm not the one who... I'm not Trish." Rapunzel said, trying to explain this to them. "I'm his adopted sister."
But Korg spoke up as Rapunzel was trying to explain.
"Anyhow. I'd love to stay and bicker. But I have a new lava shower mod I need to install. Enjoy your visit, Rapunzel. We're at room 2017 if ever you wanna visit." Korg said as he waved goodbye while walking away with Miek. "See ya! Good luck being alive again!"
Miek also waved goodbye.
"Ok. Bye." Rapunzel waved awkwardly. "That got a bit awkward."
"I still haven't forgiven him for Thor Love And Thunder." Orion muttered a fourth wall break about his voice actor. "Come on, Zel, we're at the top floor."
Orion lead Rapunzel onto the elevator and then they went up to the top floor.
Up at Orion's penthouse apartment...
Orion's apartment was more like a mansion. It's the same apartment at the start of this story.
When Rapunzel was lead right in. Rapunzel gasped in total awe and amazement as she walked in. Pascal squealed as he ran and crawled up to the glass screen blocking the greenery on the side wall and camouflaged with the flowers that were changing colors.
"Wow. This place looks great." Rapunzel gushed in awe and amazement as she looked around. "Really living in style, huh?"
"That's one of the perks of being the third richest person in the Multiverse." Orion remarked.
Just then. Friday was seen coming down from the stairs wearing a red tank top and long black jeans while bare foot as she came over and gave Rapunzel a hug.
"Has my moron with the second wedding ring treating you well?" Friday asked playfully.
"Of course he is." Rapunzel smiled while hugging her. "I take it you've been enjoying yourself here too?"
"Only for the last year and a half. We take turns to either live here and then after a few days we switch back to living in Corona." Friday stated as they concluded the hug. "We also have an instant access to the Mav Club just in case."
"That's so cool." Rapunzel beamed. "This place has so much to see and experience."
"Every world I visit feels like that. I've actually grown up in a place like this. Back on Skrullos." Friday admit.
Even though she lived in a much more suburban area. She was used to traveling to cities like this with her parents. Back when they were alive.
"Are you hungry? What do you feel like eating tonight?" Friday offered to cook.
"I have a few ideas." Rapunzel said as she smirked. "If you want, I can help you in the kitchen."
"Well just to be on the safe side, we'll stick with Earth food on your first day. Prime Lib with a side of farm raised Lobster. Ryan's been in a mood ever since Homer Simpson was mourning his pet Lobster." Friday remarked as she led Rapunzel into the kitchen.
"Hmmm. Sounds perfect." Rapunzel said with a big smile. "Well then, let's get cooking."
On that note. Orion went up to take care of a few business documents in his office. While Rapunzel and Friday worked in the kitchen to get dinner ready. Doing things like putting the lobsters in the boiler. Turning the indoor grill on for prime ribs.
Rapunzel started helping with the ranch and bacon bit pasta salad when they heard the door bell ring. The door bell was in a brief but smooth galactic theme.
***Galactic doorbell ring***
"Ugh. Can you get that for me, Zel? I'm almost done coating the prime ribs." Friday asked as she was anxious to get dinner done on time.
"Sure, no problem." Rapunzel said before running to the door with her bare feet making a little noise, and she opened the door to find Eugene and Lance on the other side. "Hey, Eugene. Hey, Lance."
Eugene and Lance were wearing those cool space outfits they wore during the team's mission to help Buzz Lightyear rescue his team.
"Wooo! I can not tell you how me and Lance just wiped that glowing thing they call a floor, with those space bombs at the arcade!" Eugene exclaimed in victory before he quickly explained. "It was a game of draw poker only they call it flux poker."
"We literally made a guy who looked like a carrot cry. That's what you get for having space keep the same rules." Lance smugly remarked with his arms crossed.
"So how's our prime guest from across the stars handling her Sci-Fi tour?" Eugene flirted as he picked Rapunzel up bridal style which made her laugh.
It's been almost a week sense the Day Of Hearts. They've gotten even closer than ever before if that were even possible.
"I've been having the best time. And there's still so much to see and do." Rapunzel smirked before giving Eugene a passionate kiss. "By the way, what do you think of my new dress?"
Eugene had to admit. Rapunzel looked amazing in it. Especially with her long blonde hair still in the same long pony tail pattern. But he couldn't help but tease just a bit.
"Hmmm...let me think. Flawless, though I gotta warn you. You've made a lot of enemies and all of them are shoes. Even the heels you passed up are coming after you." Eugene joked a tease about Rapunzel still being barefoot.
Rapunzel giggled at his joke and playfully kicked her bare feet around in the air.
"I'm not worried about that. I'm sure my brave knight here will protect me." Rapunzel said with a sweet tone, looking at her boyfriend. "Besides, I heard Xander is pretty laxed in their dress code, especially in regards to footwear."
"Well that's true. I bet even Groot used to come here while still naked." Eugene snickered as theu shared another passionate kiss. But it was brief as they were still standing at the front door while Lance went inside to sit at the couch.
"There's a jacuzzi upstairs if you all want privacy." An old black lady's voice was heard behind him.
Eugene quickly halted his make out session to place Rapunzel back down on her feet. So they could quickly turn around to see Blind Al standing right behind them. Who had just come up from the entry hall.
"What did you just let in?! Reeks like old lady pants down there!" Orion echoed from up stairs.
"Yes, I'm old! And I wear pants!" Blind Al replied.
"But you're no lady!" Orion echoed a quip.
"Everyone's a critic with an ass for a mouth." Blind Al muttered before she held her hand out. "Althea. But you can call me Al."
But Blind Al was holding her hand out in the wrong direction. Out to the side windows while Eugene and Rapunzel just stood there.
"Nice to be you, Al." Rapunzel smiled as she took her hand to shake. "I'm Rapunzel, Ryan's adopted sister."
"I could tell. I didn't here shoes. He also told me you addicted to cupcakes so I made these for you." Blind Al said as he handed Rapunzel a container tray of strawberry cupcakes with pink icing.
"Ooh, strawberry cupcakes are my favorite." Rapunzel smiled as she accepted the cakes. "Thank you so much, Al."
"You're welcome. Tell Ryan I said thank you for paying all of my rent off permanently and to Bite me just because." Blind Al replied as she turned to leave. "I liked to love to stay. But I got a brail bingo game to attend at the casino."
"My door's always open, Stevie Wonder!" Orion echoed from up stairs.
"Nice meeting you, Rapunzel. And the burglar you fell in love with." Blind Al said as she walked off and waved.
"How did she know I was standing here? I barely introduced myself let alone said a word- Hey!" Eugene took offense to the burglar statement.
Rapunzel giggled.
"Well she's not wrong." Rapunzel grinned smugly as she wrapped her arms around his neck. "We did meet when you broke into my tower after all, and proceeded to steal my heart."
Eugene smirked as he wrapped his arms around her. "Right after you gave me, three concussions." He reminded teasingly about the frying pan to the head.
"I certainly did, huh?" Rapunzel said with a giggle before smiling sweetly at him. "But I'm sure I've made that up to you, right?"
"Well you missed a few more payments." Eugene flirted as he was going to kiss her some more.
"Can you bring it inside? You're both letting out the A/C." Friday called over.
"Yeah quit dragging the chapter on, Chuck Bartowski!" Orion echoed a fourth wall break.
"Oops. I better go help Friday finish cooking dinner." Rapunzel said weakly before whispering flirtatiously in Eugene's ear. "Then after dinner, meet me at the private Jacuzzi upstairs. All to ourselves to do whatever we want."
Eugene blushed as he felt a little warm down the waist. Before Rapunzel barefooted off to the kitchen and winked back at her boyfriend with a smirk.
"Lord have mercy." Eugene whispered as he walked in finally and the front door closed and locked itself as Eugene went over to sit at the couch with Lance to see what does alien TV look like.
They both still can't believe they lived this long without TV. The rest of the night went well. With a perfect dinner. And everyone had their own bedrooms. And it was a good thing the indoor hot pool was private with soundproof walls. Even Orion's super hearing couldn't hear in there. Especially since Orion had his own special time with his wife in the bedroom.
Needless to say. This night went well.
The next morning in another world...
Penny and Bolt had landed successfully in Bolivia as Penny was driving her scooter to Lake Rogaguado with Bolt in the lead. He was using his extra senses in his smell to sniff out where Dr. Calico and Penny's father is being held.
Bolt stopped as he got a sense and Penny stopped behind him.
"What's up, Bolt? Did you pick up their trail?" Penny asked.
Bolt looked over ahead as he heard the sounds of a truck. Penny walked over and automatically folded her turbo scooter and knelt down next to Bolt.
"Good boy." Penny said, petting his head. "We're gonna have to stealthy from here on out. So be ready for anything."
Bolt made a dog noise to confirm that he understands with a nod. Penny nodded as she ran but quietly to where Bolt was pointing. And when they got close. Penny and Bolt knelt behind a bush and looked ahead to see a truck stopping at a secret garage entrance inside of a large stone wall under a trail of grass.
And two mercs standing guard.
"Are you ready, Bolt?" Penny whispered to her dog.
As the truck was getting ready to drive slowly inside. Penny and Bolt snuck over and got under the truck and grabbed onto some of the gas pipes underneath to hide as they held on for the truck to roll in. Granting them entry.
After that. Bolt and Penny snuck into an air vent. And crawled deeper into the hideout. Penny had learned during the ride over here that her father wasn't inside this base. But Calico had a super computer here that would not only tell Penny what his plans are. But where they are keeping her father.
Once they made it to the end of the vent. Bolt grabbed the vent bars with his paws and bent them open. Bolt and Penny then came out into one of the hall sections of a metallic base with Calico's logo on the walls. It just screamed evil base.
Penny went up to a corner and saw four merc guards standing watch over an open room with a large computer inside. The computer looked like a typical government tech console with a larhe oval screen turned on it's side and a chair in front of several controls. A keyboard and radar indicators.
"The Calico supercomputer. If we can access it, we'll finally learn where they're keeping my father." Penny whispered to Bolt.
Then Penny gave Bolt some hand signals telling him to get behind the corner and be ready. Bolt nodded and ran behind cover as Penny took out a coin from her pocket. Ironically a penny and she tossed it to roll over to one of the guards who saw it and picked it up.
While the guard was distracted. Bolt ran and smacked against all three of the other guards. Which soon alerted the distracted one who pointed his gun at Bolt.
"Bolt! Stare!" Penny told her dog.
And Bolt stared at the guards gun which caused it to disintegrate. The guard was alarmed which was knock enough for Bolt to knock him out.
Inside the computer room. There was a guard sitting there. Trying to transfer some information to Calico before deleting the evidence. Unfortunately for the guard, he wasn't quick enough.
As he was working, he did not notice a paw reaching up from behind him.
**CHOP!**
"Ah!" The guard gasped as he passed out from Bolt chopping the side of his neck, falling out of the chair to reveal Penny standing right behind him with Bolt on the back of the chair.
"Nice move." Penny said to Bolt as he got back down onto the floor before she sat down in the chair and started accessing the data on the computer. "Come on. Come on."
Then everything got dark as everything suddenly shut down, making Penny gasp before the ceiling opened up, blinding as light from an aircraft shined down on them, Bolt glaring up at a figure who was up on the roof, looking down at them.
"Such devotion." They heard the figure speak, revealing himself to be none other than Dr. Calico himself with his black cat on his shoulders. "It brings tears to my eye!"
"Calico!" Penny said, glaring up at him while trying to block out the light shining in her eyes.
"Your father's discoveries could be of great use to our organization." Dr. Calico said with a sinister smile. "I'm sure he'll be more accommodating now that I've got his lucky Penny!"
Before Penny or Bolt could register what was going on the top half of a cage dropped down as Penny's chair automatically backed up to to the center of the room where the bottom half the cage raised up.
"Bolt!" Penny cried out to Bolt right before the top half of the cage dropped down, sealing her inside.
"Before we take off. Allowing to present you with a parting gift. My LIFE'S WORK!" Dr. Calico exclaimed as he signaled for something to activate.
Just then. A large portal was shown as the spot lights came on from behind Bolt. The portal was of the same design as the one that was shut down years ago. A round metallic ring that's big enough for a train to travel through. And when ir came on it displays a ray of multiple colors. Cosmic enegry surged from it as Bolt was being sucked into it.
"ARF ARF ARF ARF!" Bolt barked as he tried to run. Even push away from the force of gravity. But the portal's energy was too strong.
And Bolt was immediately sucked through the portal. As Dr. Calico was laughing in the background.
"Farwell, Wonder Mutt! Hope your new universe will accommodate! Buahahahahahahaaaa!" Dr Calico laughed evilly as Penny's steel cage was being lifted up by the crane of a helicopter.
Sadly Penny couldn't see or hear what was going on. And seeing that she was in there too long. Something was wrong. Especially since Bolt didn't break her out yet.
Something has happened to him.
"BOLT!" Penny screamed as she banged her fists from inside.
Back in the world of Xandar...
As Bolt was being hurled across time and space. His extra abilities and strength protected him from being torn apart. And he could breathe underwater so breathing through space wouldn't be a problem for him. But as Bolt fell to the end of the cosmic tunnel. He ended up falling out of the skies of Xandar.
Meanwhile down at one of the Glaze N Star Sweet Shop in the middle of town...
Orion was wearing the same outfit from yesterday. But with some red sunglasses.
While Rapunzel was wearing a different outfit. Which consist of a pink sweater with a midriff. And long blue jeans while bare foot. And she decided to copy Orion's thing for sunglasses by wearing some dark purple ones.
"Did you have to buy one if everything, Goldilocks?" Orion deadpanned
Rapunzel had two large shopping bags filled with one of every candy and pastry product inside.
"How could I not? There were so many wonder goodies that they were selling. I just had to get one of each so I can experience it all." Rapunzel said with a big smile on her face, eager to try her new treats.
Thank God none of the lethal-to-human products were in this shop. Orion knew to take Rapunzel there because he knew his sister. Especially when it came to cupcakes.
"You're lucky none of those ingredients will turn into human based fat. Otherwise I'd..." Orion almost said as he, Rapunzel and the passing civilians noticed something bright and flashing up in the sky.
It was so bright that people thought it was another sun. Maybe Captain Marvel is in town. But that thought ran out when they saw the unidentified falling object decrease in brightness and then start to fall out of the sky.
Like a meteor.
"What is that, a falling star?" Rapunzel muttered, looking up towards the sky.
Orion looked up skeptically as he called in Yozora on his ring. "Spike, are you seeing this too?" He asked.
Since Yozora and Hoshi were somewhere else in the city. Surely he had seen it too.
*'I did. Hoshi and I are on our way.'* Yozora replied over the comms.
On that note. The object crashed somewhere in the park. Right in the middle of a large lake like fountain with shooting sprouts in patterns. That object in fact. Was Bolt. Who landed and was still in one piece. But the impact from that high was just enough to knock him out cold.
The other aliens and park residents were alarmed by the sudden crash. Especially since this canine went pass the Nova air defenses and watch towers.
Maverick. Verum Rex and Swift had arrived and landed. As they saw the crash sight in the middle of the water. The water was only a few inches high so they could see that the crater had completely cracked and abolished the surface.
While Shift was around trying to keep the public back incase anything got dangerous. And contacting the Nova Corp for Maverick.
"Mav. Keep the civilians back. Swift and I shall check the damages." Verem Rex said to Maverick and Shift.
"Got it, Chief." Maverick nodded and turned and constructed a neon megaphone to call out to them.
When it comes to keeping civilians safe. Maverick takes his job both seriously and not seriously. Which is a perfect combination for him.
***"Nothing to see here, ladies, Men and those in between! Please step back and let the pros handle this! If you head across the park, the Zenoran Dolphin from Kylos-4 has had a baby! Go see it! Pet it! But don't feed it if you care about your nose! Or anything you have for one!"*** Maverick called out as he summoned neon duplicates to back everyone up like policemen and set up some neon police tape for a crime scene.
Verum Rex and Swift walked up to the cash sight. And both were very suprised to see a white Swiss Shepherd dog laying out cold onto the wet cracked ground.
"A dog?" Verum Rex said in suprised and confusion.
Bolt whined as he was waking up. And the dog grimaced as he slowly opened his eyes. His vision was blurry and it was hard to see. Or hear with the ringing in his ear.
"A white Swiss Shepherd to be precise." Swift said with surprise in her voice. "But how did it get here? Or better yet, how did it survive that fall?"
Bolt whined as he was waking up. And the dog grimaced as he slowly opened his eyes. His vision was blurry and it was hard to see. Or hear with the ringing in his ear.
"Hey, boy." Swift said sweetly to the dog. "Are you feeling okay?"
Maverick had managed to get all the civilians to dismiss and leave the area. Just at the moment Rapunzel. Eugene and Lance arrived. Especially after taking one of the fast hover trams to get there. Plus Rapunzel had her purchased items instantly shipped back to Orion's apartment using a shopping drone.
"Before you ask. It wasn't a shooting star." Maverick said to them.
"Well, whatever it was, it's definitely caught a lot of people's attention." Lance said, looking at the growing crowd that Maverick turned away.
"Maybe it was a drag race that went wrong." Eugene guessed with a smirk.
"Either way, I just hope no one was hurt." Rapunzel said.
As Bolt could finally see. He looked around and sniffed. As he was confused about where he was. But he ignored Swift's soft face and gasped in a halt when he saw. Verum Rex. Thinking he was one of Calico's new elite troops. The fact that it's metallic armor made him think so. And the only thing on his mind was Penny being kidnapped.
"Grrrrrrr Ruff!" Bolt growl and barked on anger as he jumped and knocked Verum Rex a few feet away.
"Ugh!" Verum Rex landed next to Maverick. With Swift running over to check on her boyfriend.
"The hell?" Maverick inquired before his eyes widened.
"Ruff ruff!" Bolt ran over and was about to tackle Maverick. But Maverick summoned his keyblade and constructed a neon bite guard on his other arm and used it to shield Bolt who bit down on it. "Down, Air Bud! down! Don't gice me rabbies! Woaaah!"
Bolt then tossed Maverick thirty feet into the air. Then Bolt growled at Eugene and Lance who were standing in his way.
"Oh damn." Lance squeaked.
"Worse than an angry horse! Way worse than an angry horse!" Eugene backed away slowly in fear.
"Hey, wait." Rapunzel exclaimed, getting in front of Bolt with her hands up. "Please calm down. No one's going to hurt you. It's okay, Boy."
Bolt continued to growl menacingly up at Rapunzel as he was both anxious and upset that Penny was gone and he's somewhere he doesn't recognize.
But then Bolt slowly calmed down as he saw Pascal, Rapunzel's pet chameleon with a deadpan look. The chameleon gestured for Bolt to calm down by waving his claws down. The same method that worked with Maximus when they first met. Which seemed to stop Bolt from growling as he slowly sat down
"That's it. Good boy. It's gonna be okay." Rapunzel said soothingly.
Bolt realized she and the others weren't a threat. As he huffed and looked around. Looking for Penny.
"Arf arf! Arf arf!" Bolt anxiously barked as he was looking worried.
"Woah, take it easy, little guy." Rapunzel said as she kneeled in front of him and looked at his color. "Bolt. Is that your name?"
Bolt halted as he looked up at Rapunzel when she said her name.
Rapunzel then widened her eyes in understanding.
"Oh I see. You're looking for your owner, aren't you?" Rapunzel asked with a sympathetic look.
"Arf arf!" Bolt barked some more in random direction before he whined and looked down sadly. His ears drooped down as well. Thinking that he failed to protect the one person he could never live without.
"Oh no, Sweetie. It's okay." Rapunzel said softly, stroking his head comfortingly and giving him a warm hug. And the Princess spoke in her soft angelic voice. "We'll find your owner. I promise."
Bolt accepted the comfort as Eugene and Lance were relief to see he wasn't that dangerous.
"Well now that my girl has calmed the nuke down. I wonder what's taking Mav so long." Eugene remarked.
Just then. Maverick teleported back over with an annoyed look. And covered in leafs after landing in a private garden. Which he shook off.
"If anyone asks. It was a junky's car that crashed into the Ky'thri temple gardens." Maverick deadpanned.
"He's alright." Lance shrugged.
Just then Swift helped Verum Rex back up as they made their way over to Bolt. Even Shift who came back from keeping the rest of the crowd away, showed up with the others.
"What did I miss?" Shift asked.
"Nothing important." Maverick deadpanned.
Bolt looked up and growled at the armored guardians while showing his teeth.
"Hey, it's okay, Bolt. They're friends." Rapunzel said before looking at them. "Uh, guys? You might want to switch out of your armor so he can see you're not a threat."
"Why? It's just a dog." Shift asked in confusion.
"That thing is more like a dog hound. It hurled me all the way to a Shi'ar temple." Maverick protested.
"Let's just follow Rapunzel's advice." Swift suggested.
"Very well." Verum Rex nodded as he and his team mates shifted back into their human forms.
Bolt backed down and was suprised to see all of them were just young teenagers. They don't work for Calico at all.
"See? They're all friends of mine." Rapunzel smiled at Bolt.
"Where did he come from?" Friday wondered.
"If he came out of the sky. The only explanation we have is that he's from another world." Yozora figured and suggested "We should bring him back with us. This is way above what the Nova Corp can do."
"Especially with the Multiverse involved." Hoshi said in agreement.
Orion decided to make a quick call to a contact of his. Thankfully he had instant access to this kind of help. Seeing that this was a dog problem and a cosmic problem. It'll be a win-win.
Later on at the Mav Club...
Bolt was in the lounging wing as he was looking curiously up at the hovering round drones that were scanning him. He barked at them a bit before Rapunzel kept him calm by rubbing his back and stroking his fur. She also found his lightning bolt emblem to be very creative.
Orion and Yozora was in the room along with Friday and Hoshi. As the drones were scanning him. Annalizing everything Orion could pick up on him.
"That Bolt emblem on his side looks pretty precise to be a birthmark." Friday figured.
"I think it looks pretty cool." Rapunzel smiled while rubbing his back.
"And he's just so cute too." Hoshi said, smiling at the cute dog.
Just then on that note. Cosmo the Space Dog from Knowhere came in with Rocket. Drax and Groot.
"Cosmo had arrived as soon as call was heard." Cosmo said in his Russian accent.
"We brought him in, just like you asked. Care to fill us in?" Rocket inquired as he was completely lost.
"Well this Pound Puppy crashed in the park and Xandar and practically kicked our asses while we weren't looking." Orion stated as he gestured over at Bolt.
"We think he came from another world. But he's not an ordinary dog." Yozora stated.
"Da. He isn't. I smell a genetic alteration in Bolt's DNA code..." Cosmo said as he walked up to Bolt and hopped on the table he was sitting on.
"Arf arf arf!" Cosmo barked a few times.
"Arf! Arf! Arf! Arf!" Bolt responded with some barking of his own.
"Bolt says owner's name is Penny. A little girl from Earth city from home world. Penny's father was taken by man with green eye." Cosmo translated.
"Arf arf!" Bolt barked a few more times.
"Bolt is anxious. His owner taken too before being sent here by doorway, made by man with green eye to banish him." Cosmo explained.
"Oh my God. That's just terrible." Rapunzel said sympathetically. "No wonder he was so frantic when we ran into him."
"Can you send us the location to Bolt's home world?" Yozora asked Cosmo.
"Da. But caution, Guardians of Unknown. I sense world is not alone. Others have found it. Others with sinister intent." Cosmo warned them.
"So we might be dealing with more than just a mad scientist." Yozora said with a hand on his chin.
"That's not good." Hoshi said.
"Good shmood. We can handle it. We head down there. Rescue the kid, reunite Sparky here and be back before breakfast." Rocket said confidently.
"It's the middle of the afternoon." Drax corrected as he took it literally.
"Whatever." Rocket snorted.
"I am Groot." Groot agreed to help too.
"Sorry that your space visit is interrupted. But that's the hard knocks life of a Guardian. We'll resume our weekend as soon as we reunite Krypto here with his person." Orion said to Rapunzel before looking at the Readers. "What? He called her a person in the movie."
"You're right. Let's get Bolt home." Rapunzel said confidently.
On that note. The Guardians made preparations to bring Bolt back to his world and rescue Penny from the clutches of Dr. Calico.
Cosmo of course was right in his senses. Whatever organization Calico has aligned himself with was a threat from another world. And if they don't stop him on time. This act could endanger the entire Multiverse.
Not on the Guardians watch.
THAT'S ALL FOR NOW FOLKS!🎉🎉🎉
I hope you enjoyed seeing Blind Al make an appearance as well as some references. And for Korg and Miek's first appearance. 😁
"Let's not forget Uatu The Watcher for letting me take a break from narrated." Maverick smiled. 😁
LET'S ALL GIVE UATU THE WATCHER A BIG HAND!
***Audience cheers!*** 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
And yep! Bolt is a real super dog in this Multiverse. The question is. How will it end? Similar to the movie? Similar to the TV show or both?
One thing's for sure, we're not going for the plastic surgery bit or the aliens act.
"We already got plenty. No need to ham it up." Maverick remarked. 😒
Question is. Who is the mysterious organization that came to Bolt's world and are in cahoots with Calico? I'll give you a hint. It's a group from the marvel world. 😉
And so far, Calico could only travel to The Marvel world. Imagine how dangerous he could be if he had a way to go to all of the worlds? He is just not a stable guy to handle this kind of cosmic travel. Evil intentions are one thing. But messing with time and space are only for professionals and masters of science and magic. Or just the people in between. 😏
"Totally agree with ya- hey!" Maverick replied as he got that remark. 😊😠
Hehe! Anyhow. Thank you all so much for reading. Be sure to leave comments to let me know your thoughts and don't forget to fave and follow if you like what you see.
And as always Disney/Square Enix Fans!
"And Dog Lovers. As well as Me lovers." Maverick mused. 😉
FISTBUMP!👊👊👊👊👊👊👊👊👊👊
