Supernatural Taisen (Megacrossover) (Update!)

[Kamikage]

I don't think Jack was a participant in the mission, but there were at least three other people who could equip P90s, and we could have merely upgraded one and given it to others as the missions require.

[Vehrec]

As an officially supported organization, I suspect upgrades will be more a matter of political will and available time than they are of limited resources.

And again, I note that Jack has an awesome plot-gun coming down the pipeline IIRC.

[Kamikage]

And again I note that it is that type of thinking that prevented us from attaining the Battle Mastery. Also, most SRW groups (in my expierence) already are officially supported organizations and upgrades are always available for them (I suspect that is why one must pay for upgrades in the first place (and so they don't have to deal with idiots like Kinsey))
EDIT: Besides thats down the road, we should still focus on making sure we can fully appreciate its awesomeness down the road by focusing on earning Battle Masteries right now and upgrading the stuff we have now (and making wise deployment decisions) are the keys to doing that.
EDIT2: And I assume you mean the whole "ploitical will" thing in referance to when we get new guns and stuff instead of improving what we have now.
EDIT3: Or all of the "upgrade budget" actually comes out of the characters' pockets (Reward funds=Bonuses).

[SAMAS]

I say look at it this way instead: Majin is under no requirements to keep the various series' and characters separate or distinct any more than they have to be: Case in point: Jack and the RahXephon. Another example was the Hellboy Mission, where Abe was playing Mission Control from all the way at SGC headquarters.

[SAMAS]

This one's a little rough:

Fate Testarossa
Abilities:
Magic
Parry
Barrier
Infight
Counter
Skills:
Accelerate
Focus
Alert
Valor
Assail
Love

Haken Saber (Magic) (Ranged) (Move) Fate shifts Bardiche to Scythe Form and swings it, sending an arc of magic energy at the opponent.
Sonic Move (Melee) (Move) - Fate uses magic to accelerate herself towards the enemy, striking them twice with Bardiche.
Haken Slash (Magic) (Melee) (Move)- Fate shifts Bardiche to Scythe form and slashes the enemy.
Plasma Lancer (Magic) (Ranged) (Lightning) - Fate creates several arrowhead-shaped magic missiles and fires them at the opponent.
Plasma Smasher (Magic) (Ranged) (Lightning) - Fate hits the enemy with an enormous beam of magic.
Thunder Blade - (Magic) (Lighting) (MAP) - Fate creates several swords of energy which pierce enemies, then detonate
Jet Zanber (Melee) (Supreme) - Fate stuns the enemy with a shockwave, then expands the size of Zanber Form's blade several times and slashes the enemy with it. .

[Kamikage]

Very nice. But a nice point to include would be the little stuff (Range, EN, Will required, To Hit modifier, Crit modifier, and in some cases the Dynamic Kill and Finishing quote) for added authenticity.
EDIT: Am I the only one who believes that in-game stat upgrades (HP, EN and that stuff) will be represented by traing/practice.

[Majin Gojira]

After some careful consideration, I feel the best way to handle the upgrades is to treat most of them as Equipping Items and other Weapons...in some cases.

I'm opening the floor now to suggestions for items--within certain categories.

Namely:
- Will Increasing Item ("Band of Courage", etc, but themed to the one or more programs involved)
- Consumable Items (Again, any themed or appropriate item)
- Range Increase Provider
- Special items that provide multiple benefits.

Everything else is fairly well covered.

Also, be aware that not all characters will have upgrades available in all areas, and some may have special upgrades available only for them, and some characters are just unable to be upgraded.

Have at it!

[Kamikage]

If this were before Small Favors I would have suggested an upgraded Shield Braclet as one of Harry's unique upgrades, but seeing as it isn't, it would really depend on when we are Dresden Files-wise (Turn Coat doesn't really give me any real ideas) but one that would definately qualify in my opinion) would have to be the Warden's Cloak (boosts Def/Evade, minor HP and EN boost).
But for the more military themed people, well it all depends the malleablity of the laws of physics and the fact that with the Rahxephone in the mix (and certain hints) I'd say something that depends on Ki or something else that would rely on EN to properly function attack-wise.
For Hellboy I just see him gaining something akin to the Jet Magnum for some reason (aside from an early prototype of "Big Baby"). Buffy, the Slayer Scythe or some manner of sword.
I think I may have to play Battle Moon Wars again sometime in the near future so I can get some better ideas.
Am I the only one here seeing some manner of Remote Weapons for SG-1?
The Doctor would probably have the upgraded Sonic Screwdriver if this were post-Donna, or some of the really dangerous stuff that he had in the old days (Second and Seventh Doctor eras especially). I'm also having visions of a throwdown with the Valeyard or the Master now (and they are awesome). But for equippable stuff? Definately momentos from previous companions and parts from his wardrobe over his life (I just can't get this picture of the Tenth Doctor wearing the Fourth or Fifth Doctor's outfits out of my head).

[Vehrec]

Namely:
- Will Increasing Item ("Band of Courage", etc, but themed to the one or more programs involved)

Medals and decorations? We know that in cannon, at least ONE member of the SGC has a Medal of Honor at this point.

- Consumable Items (Again, any themed or appropriate item)

Hmmm, painkillers, and other medications? I'm not sure what kind of consumeables we are talking about here, what their purpose is.

- Range Increase Provider

For gun and missile users, things like red-dot sights, telescopic scopes, and maybe even guided ammunition can count. Mages? I have no idea, maybe some kind of dowsing, precognitive or otherwise occult information gathering device.

- Special items that provide multiple benefits.

Hmmm, case by case basis for these, since I have no idea what you want for 'special items.' Will increasing items that cause the user to feel good and ignore wounds for a fight? Most things are fairly logically linked, but most items are specialized tools with one purpose and only minor secondary ones.

[SAMAS]

A few examples from the games:

Servo Motor - Mobility + 5
Ultra-Alloy Z - Hp +1000, Defense +200(from Mazinger Z)
Hero's Mark - Defense +200, Mobility +25, and Accuracy +20
Hover Craft – Gives Unit Hover Movement
Haro- Equipped unit's mobility +30, all weapons' (except MAP and 1-range weapons) target range +2(from Gundam)
I-Field Barrier- Prevents 2000 HP worth of beam-type damage on equipped unit(from Mobile Suit Gundam)
Complementary GS Ride - Max EN +150, 10% EN Recovery Every Turn(from Gao Gai Gar)
Kaname's Harisen - +30% to Critical Hit rate(from Full Metal Panic!)

Some examples for this story would be like:
Ultra Alloy Z - See above
Shield bracelet - Prevents x HP worth of damage on equipped unit (Dresden Files)
Class Protector Award - + 10 to Morale (Buffy the Vampire Slayer)
Really Long Scarf - I don't think I'm worthy to assign a use to this one (Doctor Who)
Jelly Baby - Restores 50 SP (Doctor Who)

[SAMAS]

On a related note, I've started downloading and watching Ultraman Meibus (up to episode 14 as I type), so I may have to go back over some chapters (and more write-ups!)

So, from Interlude II and Missions 06 and 07:

Shingo Sakomizu: Present Commander of GUYS. First Appearance: Interlude II

Shooting Star Shot (Ranged) (Ki) (Fire) (On Foot Only) - George pulls out a soccer ball and kicks it. The ball bursts into flames and slams into the enemy.

Marina Kazama: Professional Motorcycle Racer. Excellent hearing, but it makes her a little too cautious for her own good. First Appearance: Interlude II

[Majin Gojira]

Hmmm, painkillers, and other medications? I'm not sure what kind of consumeables we are talking about here, what their purpose is.

For machines, it was things that restored HP (Repair Kit), Shots for individual weapons (Ammunition Clip) or Energy (Fuel Tank) or SP (Odd items, Alpha Gaiden has "Donkey Bread" from Turn A Gundam) or more than one (other oddly named items or Super Repair Kit).

Hmmm, case by case basis for these, since I have no idea what you want for 'special items.' Will increasing items that cause the user to feel good and ignore wounds for a fight?

Boost confidence and overall morale.

Like the GUYS writeup, but...

Short Time for the monsters would, in standard SRW, be about 2 turns.

George Ikaruga: Soccer/Football star who usually plays for Spain. Almost as hot-headed as Ryu. Occasionally uses Gratuitous Spanish.
Strike, Focus, Guts, Valor, Alert, Raid

I'd give him Snipe as well. Later on, he helps defeat a quantum-shifting monster with this powerful eyesight.

Marina Kazama: Professional Motorcycle Racer. Excellent hearing, but it makes her a little too cautious for her own good.
Alert, Focus, Trust, Luck, Taunt, Accelerate

I'd give her Accelerate a little sooner.

GUYS Equipment:
Gun-Trigger - Acute Arrow(red) (Move) (Ranged)
Gun-Trigger - Buster Bred(yellow) (Ranged)
Gun-Trigger - Capture Cube(blue) (Ranged) - Prevents the target from moving, attacking, or being attacked for one round.
Gun-Trigger - Neural Neutralizer (Ranged) Prevents the use of Skills or abilities.

That's all one weapon too. METEOR tech is FUN.

Random question-has the author read Scott Pilgrim?

Only small snibits, But I'm looking forward to the movie passionately.

[Majin Gojira]

The White Council of Wizards took their sweet time deliberating over the information Harry sent them—he had Bob review the strange jewel the TSAB agents had given Harry detailing the Dark History as well as the proposed joint operations with the various governments in on the deal which, aside form the US, included every other heavyweight nation from Russia and China to England, France and Japan—as well as oddballs like Singapore and Mexico—places that, to those in the know about the supernatural, were hotbeds of activity.

They’ve done their homework, but the documentation given did something no one expected—they flouted the Unselie Accords, the general “Peace Treaty” between the supernatural nations of earth.

Harry had to talk it over with someone. Fortunately, Harry let a few of the visitors from the event stay at his place overnight—they insisted they stay someplace warded since the Nazi’s blocked off Nevernever travel for a dozen hours.

The council would not like him talking with Willow Rosenberg and Buffy Summers, but he’d take what he could get, he needed to talk this out.

“So what are your thoughts on this?” He asked as he prepared them a simple breakfast, eggs and toast for the most part.

Willow warned Dresden that Buffy ate a lot, to the Slayer’s annoyance.

“That girl Nanoha scares me a bit,” Willow said, “She’d do whatever it takes to help people—which is nice, but to see that much dedication in a 10 year old is frightening.”

“You think the space wizards did that to her?”

“Honestly, they seemed just as impressed by her,"Buffy answered, "I’d blame Japan,”

“You’re just pissed that you can’t have a secret identity in Japan,” Willow chided.

“No, I don’t like Japan because the girls there submitted themselves to government oversight as soon as they got their powers!” Buffy scowled, “We change the rules of magic so that girls don’t have to be slayers if they don’t want to and an entire country’s worth of girls willingly lets itself be used by the government for who knows what!”

“Probably fighting giant monsters, they do have a lot of them,” Willow teased.

“Stop making sense,” Buffy leaned back in her chair as Harry brought the meat to the table, “You’re ruining my irrational dislike with your sense-making.”

“Anyway,” Willow said, after scooping some more Fruit Loops into her mouth, “The space wizards don’t appear to be that bad, but--”

“But they could still be lizard people here to eat us,” Harry said as he sat down.

“More likely they’re here to strip mine natural resources,” Willow said, “we make bad food stock—breeding cycle takes to long.” After a pause, and two long stares at her, she added, “Well, I got bored one day and thought about it in my freshman year—I…didn’t have many friends back then and it was Xander who brought it up!”

“Trying to hide your inner dork, Will?” Buffy smirked.

“No, I…” Willow sighed and leaned back, “Never mind.”

“Even if they aren’t, though,” Buffy said, “We’re going to help with the Nazi business.”

“If the White Council won’t help,” Harry said, “I’ll at least throw in my weight.”

“Being both Jewish and gay, I think I have a vested interest in their defeat,” Willow said.

“Probably the others will help stop them too,” Buffy said, “They did just declare war on the entire world.”

“But afterward,” Harry said, wheels turning in his head.

“I dunno,” Willow closed her eyes in thought, “The Merlin hates me.”

“That makes two of us,” Harry assured her with a smile, which felt very odd to him—here was a woman who had altered an ongoing permanent, global spell and broken multiple laws of magic in her youth.

Why did she need assurance? More over, why wasn't she half the terrifying monster the White Council made her out to be?

Who says that the White Council is above such things as a smear campaign. Still, he thought it best to play it cool. Harry filed the peculiarities away in his brain, for now he had more pressing matters to to worry about—namely, the Nazis.

Ouka awoke inside a sterile, white hospital room. Her eyes opened slowly at first, but widened when they saw a not-so friendly face staring her down. Dressed in an orange gi with a dark blue underlay, with spikey dark hair, sat Eiko.

“You’re awake,” Eiko said, “Glad to see they didn’t knock you totally senseless.”

Ouka tensed up, but felt metal restraints on her limbs holding her down.

“You really want to try and run,” Eiko smirked, “From me?”

“Then why am I—?”

“Brass isn’t taking chances,” Eiko answered quickly, “Even though they’re throwing you a bone.”

“A what?”

“There’s a trio of girls who are very vocal about us not just setting you down on the Ogasawara Islands and letting the locals deal with you,” Eiko coldly explained, “So, can I get your word that you’ll behave?”

Ouka took a breath to steady her nerves before she said “Alright.”

Eiko nodded towards the door and three teenage girls entered. They had changed quite a bit from when she had last seen them: they’d matured a good deal, as teenagers were known to do, but they kept their preference in colors regardless of how much they aged. The first was dressed in a shade of red that complimented her hair, the second wore blue that matched the color of her eyes and capped off with blonde hair, the third wore black and green which matched her hair and eyes. They were rather attractive, with the athletic build of cheerleaders—though only two looked like they could have come from the team. The green eyed girl looked more at home in a goth club.

“Blossom, Bubbles, Buttercup,” Ouka smiled lightly, “I wish I could be meeting you someplace nicer.”

“Hi, Ouka,” Blossom said quietly.

“Nice to see you again,” Ouka answered.

Eiko slipped out of the room quietly, to let the sisters re-connect—though “Sisters” was a very loose term for genetic experiments of two different generations. They were as closely related to each other about as much as Eiko was to them.

But they still considered themselves family.

All four of the girls’ minds were recalling the last time they had met—a very unpleasant one for all of them. Ouka had led an attempt to bring the girls back to Millennium after their creator secreted them to the United States. Millennium insisted that she bring 4 remaining 4th Generation Children of the Sun to bring them back.

Things got out of hand, and by the end of the day, there were only 6 children of that generation left as the girl called “Bunny” detonated.

“Are you okay?” Bubbles asked her, “Are they treating you okay?”

“So far,” Ouka answered.

A tense silence filled the air.

“Why are you still with them, Ouka?” Buttercup barked, “You can’t believe that “create a better world” crap they spout.”

“But that is Rasputin’s goal—a new world will be ushered in by Anung un Rama. It is inevitable. All we can do is prepare for it—”

“Or fight it!” Buttercup leaned towards her elder sister, “We’ve fought off apocalypses before, we’ll do it again too!”

“Buttercup!” Blossom scowled at her sister before turning back to Ouka, “Rasputin’ isn’t in charge, is he?”

Ouka did not say anything.

“We’ve listened to the Major—he doesn’t’ want a perfect world,” Blossom continued, “All he wants is war.”

“He’s but a tool we need to get to paradise,” Ouka answered in a manner that spoke of endless repetition.

“Do you really think it’s worth it?” Bubbles asked lightly.

“Yes,” Ouka reflexively answered.

“Even if we fight it?” Buttercup asked, locking eyes with Ouka—who did not maintain contact for very long.

“I…” Ouka’s voice cracked, her mind thinking back to Bunny—the last sister from the B-class to die.

Unlike her, the B-Class incorporated the genetic material for manifesting multiple superhuman abilities that seemed to regularly crop up. Some came from humans interbreeding with old ones, like the removal of heat from nearby the mutant creating ice and freezing targets. Other times, they generated electricity or the ability to project radioactivity.

The mixtures did not go according to plan, and those capable of generating radioactivity in offensive bursts were the most unstable—detonating and leaving radioactive particles in their wake, more like a dirty bomb or failed nuclear detonation than a true nuclear detonation, thankfully.

Several of the B-Class died in this manner, but one in particular stood out—Bunny. Malformed and mentally retarted, Bunny was allowed to live only because of the power the B-Class had and how rare survivors were. Forced into field work to retrieve the girls, the mission ended in failure.

Bunny befriended the girls of the B-Class she was sent to retrieve. Ouka was sent after her, leading to a massive confrontation, which was largely verbal. Bunny was torn on what to do or where to go, but fortunately, she did not have long to agonize over the decision. A Baragon bore its way to the surface and attacked the down. They battled the beast effectively, but Bunny began to fall apart. Ouka warned everyone of the danger—that Bunny was about to explode in a kiloton-level explosion.

So she dove down the Baragon’s throat before it happened—taking the monster with her.

Her last words before leaping to her doom were a simple declaration: “Bunny do good!”

Ouka did not want to loose another member of her family.

But she would not betray the cause either.

“When the time comes,” Ouka voice grew cold, but quiet, “Don’t go to Tokyo. Please.”

In an adjacent room, Eiko went to check on their contingency plan. Said contingency sat observing the scene as it transpired with a cold smirk on her lovely face. Long blond hair capped off the best body money could buy, draped in a white cape that covered an outfit which, despite having pants, left enough to the imagination to tantalize—but only just.

Her name was Emma Frost, and she could kill people with her mind.

“Did they do their job?” Eiko asked as she strolled in.

“Only enough for me to do the rest,” Emma remarked, “Trusting teenagers with rooting out international security secrets? I swear David must be loosing his edge.”

“He did set you up as a contingency.”

“At a price, of course,” Emma countered, “Keeping my school out of his little renewal of the second world war seems adequate for knowing the enemy’s tactics before they are implemented.”

Eiko frowned and asked her, “So what did you find out?”

“A basic list of where they’re going to attack next. Not exactly sure what their plan is, though,” Emma sighed, “A war on two fronts is suicidal—but a war on seven fronts…”

“Seven?” Eiko scratched her forehead, “Gotta be something magical going on there.”

Before Emma could elaborate further, the door to the room swung open with casual grace.

“Emma Frost, I haven’t seen you since the Eugenics Wars,” The Doctor said as he strolled in, “I’m not interrupting something am I?”

“Just minor psionic espionage,” Eiko said, “No big.”

“We will have to do something more indepth later,” Emma said, “that woman’s mind has been bluntly tampered with so many times it’s a miracle she’s coherent and stable as she is now.”

“Surface scans only, Ms Frost?” The Doctor asked, “You’ve softened up a great deal.”

“I have you to thank for that, I suppose,” Emma then smiled and added, “and it’s Mrs. Frost these days.”

The Doctor cringed, “please don’t tell me it’s to that guy who reeks of alcohol, tobacco and ferrets?”

Emma smirked,“Dear Doctor, I have far better taste than that.”

Eiko, by contrast, released a boisterous laugh, "That's it, from now on, Logan's a ferret!”

When Eiko recovered, she asked, “I assume you found him?”

“Them, actually,” The Doctor said, “find the God Machine and you find the Instrumentalist.”

“So, where are they?” Emma arched an eyebrow awaiting the answer.

“Atlantis,” The Doctor said

Emma smiled, “How amusing, that is one of the locations they plan to hit.”

“And the others?” The Doctor asked.

“It’s an interesting mix,” Emma said, “The significance should be evident to you, Doctor. New York, Tokyo, the Vatican, Roanapur, Cardiff, Atlantis and Kaspak.”

Eiko visible paled at the last name mentioned.

“High population densities, strong inter-dimensional currents, rifts and resting old ones,” The Doctor murmured, “If I were them, the only reason I’d go to those places is to gather fuel and resources.”

“How the hell do they expect to get off Kaspak alive?” Eiko shuddered.

The Doctor stroked his chin, “They won’t be asking nicely, that’s for certain.”

Pilots and Captains cannot be selected for a location. Keep in mind that some locations come with their own special units that may join the party proper after this battle. Select characters carefully.

Hallelujah! An update at last!

I wish there are more updates.

[npisd]

What's the chain of command between MI-13 and Hellsing? Are they seperate organizations that both answer to the Queen or is Hellsing a subdivision of MI-13? I'm just imagining Integra and Bond bickering with each other over funding allocations, Yes, Prime Minister, style.

[Kamikage]

I must admit to some curosity as to the origins behind the Kamen Riders in this 'verse as well as the potential for Decade to show up. As for the multi-mission thing, I would tackle each one individually and leave it up to the player (were this a game) to pick the order. That being said, I think this has awesome potential to be a really fun ride.
EDIT: Had a semi-hilarious picture of Alucard showing up to assist Hellboy in the Vatican Mission and everyone is wondering as to why Alucard is still in existance (as well as the Iscariot people physically restraining themselves from doing something really suicidal).

Hellsing is a subdivision specializing in supernatural predation. MI-13 handles most other cases.

I must admit to some curosity as to the origins behind the Kamen Riders in this 'verse as well as the potential for Decade to show up.

There's only been one Kamen Rider, he's just been upgrading himself regularly.

Decade would be a multiversal visitor akin to what that Sora kid did back in the 16th Century Caribbean.

EDIT: Had a semi-hilarious picture of Alucard showing up to assist Hellboy in the Vatican Mission and everyone is wondering as to why Alucard is still in existance (as well as the Iscariot people physically restraining themselves from doing something really suicidal).

They wouldn't be that surprised, all three did team up with other vampire hunters of note of the time to defeat Dracula Prime 5 years prior and seal his castle within a solar eclipse along with the "Vampire Killer" whip.

Not what I meant but thank you for the info. As for the Kamen Rider stuff, what about the non-main riders? Are they upgraded forms of Kamen Rider-2?

They wouldn't be that surprised, all three did team up with other vampire hunters of note of the time to defeat Dracula Prime 5 years prior and seal his castle within a solar eclipse along with the "Vampire Killer" whip.

Alucard, Hellboy, and who's the third, Anderson?

Pretty much.

Dracula Prime is that scary a mofo.

In SRW W, my priority was usually that characters from a series usually got things related to their series first. So to start:

SG-1 each get a Staff Blast Insert (3,3,3). The fifth can go to whoever you think may need it.
Kamen Rider and Cutey Honey each get a Sakuradite insert (1,1).

Give one set of Sneakers to Buffy, and the other I guess to Asuna (1,1).

Ravager and Union Jack each get the Sniper Scopes. (2,2)

O'Neil can get one of the Micro-HUDs (2), and give the other to Batman (1)

Nanoha, Negi, and Harry each get an Energy Crystal. (1,1,3),
Raven could use the Solar Converter (1).

NEXT MISSION IS SPLIT INTO 7 THEATERS OF OPERATION. Some characters are already selected to go to certain areas, others are able to go to any, but they may only go to one. Pilots and Captains cannot be selected for a location. Keep in mind that some locations come with their own special units that may join the party proper after this battle. Select characters carefully.

I am debating on whether or not to inter-cut between them or do one mission at a time, as well as which one to tackle first.

Locations

Roanapur
- Kamen Rider
- Ravager

New York City

Atlantis
- SG-1

Vatican City
- Hellboy

Tokyo
- Negi Springfield and Assosiates
- Nanoha Takamachi
- Fate Testarosa
- Chrono Harlowan

Kaspak
- Eiko Megami

Cardiff
- MI-13 (Union Jack and Associates)

Given Nanoha's necessity to the RaXhephon recovery, I can see them deciding they may need a magic-user in Atlantis. I would suggest either splitting off Chrono or letting them take Harry and his new Device. I'm against putting Harry on that mission though, as it puts both main characters in one spot. (I prefer he go to New York or Tokyo. New York fits him a little, or have him get stuck with "chaperon duty" with our magically-inclined minors (Also, another opportunity to have him fight the Wolkenritter again)).

I take it Superman and the Bats are going to start in New York? Maybe also Buffy and Willow to go meet them.

“Instrumentalist” Reika’s voice rang in Jack’s ears as he found himself roused from an unpleasant slumber, “I need your presence.”

Jack opened his eyes, painfully, low lights piercing him lightly as though he had a hangover.

“I apologize for the rough transport,” She said, “But I need you to active the system.”

Jack quickly got his bearings—he was inside a ship, Ancient (or, rather Mulian) in design by the look of things, and it wasn’t working.

They were deep enough inside that no natural light penetrated, only light blue emergency lighting filled the room—largely from the large crystalline platform at the room’s center. In front of it was something he assumed to be a control panel.

Reika stood next to it.

“Please, activate the system,” Reika said.

He looked at his watch: only half an hour had passed since the "Show" portion of the evenings activities began. He wished he had more than a military watch in terms of equipment.

“Why?” Jack snarled as he stood up, “Where the hell am I?”

“You are in the Atlantis city-ship,” Reika explained, her voice slightly strained, “And you are here to activate the city’s defenses to prevent it from falling into Millennium’s hands.”

“And you can’t do so because--?”

“I am locked out.”

“Okay, why are you locked out?” Jack folded his arms.

“An Ixtili cannot operate Mulian Technology other than what we are created for or bonded to.”

Jack’s ears perked up, “Bonded to?”

“We don’t have much time—activate the station please,” Reika pleaded.

Jack walked towards the console and placed a hand on it. Blue and yellow-white light quickly spread from Jack’s hand and illuminated the room.

A voice soon followed: it was soft, yet commanding voice of a young woman, “Atlantis station now reactivating.”

A form blipped into existence before him. It was quite different from what he had previously seen of the ancients up until now. Like Oma Desalla, her outfit could best be described as a pantsuit. But unlike Oma, the arms had a large stripe of black running down their length, with patterns he did not recognize emblazoned in gold. Also in gold was an emblem on her chest a round circle and three ovoid shapes like the tips of spears arranged in a cross-like pattern reminiscent of a bird (with the circle acting as the bird’s head). The woman’s hair was a light blond and grew long down her back with two thick strands held by silver clasps that draped over her shoulders and ran down to her hips. Her eyes were a light shade of blue, but her skin was a nearly sickly pale color, as though she rarely went outside.

“I am Dianna Soriel, Ixtili of Atlantis. The Mu are long dead, why am I being disturbed?”

“Defend the world from Nazis?” Jack put forward.

“‘Nazis’ is not a term I recognize,” Diana answered, “My defensive capabilities are unreliable at the present. There are no Power Batteries or Rings to use. The Leviathan was destroyed decades ago. Furthermore, the Manhunter Dolems are in various stages of rampancy.”

“Okay, wow,” Jack said, “I think I understood every other word.”

“Do you still wish to activate the security protocols?” Diana repeated.

“How?”

“Third light on the left,” Reika answered, “The green one.”

Jack nodded with a “Better than nothing, I suppose,” and touched the light, which began to flash blue and red.

The walls of the chamber became segmented and changed shape, creating small chambers where large figures were soon teleported in. They stood almost 8ft tall and were sleek metal figures with smooth, un-segmented hands that reminded Jack of mittens on first glance. The head on each figure was large with a visor-like bar as the only segment on the metallic beings that was not smoothed out on its surface.

They also came in a variety of colors. One was black, another was purple and a third was orange. Three of them were 3 different shades of blue (dark, medium and light blue); two more were shades of red (classic red and maroon).

“No Man Escapes the Manhunters,” They boomed in unison.

“Good to know” Jack began, “I’m Colonel Jack O’Neill of—”

“I’m goin’ on break,” The orange manhunter blurted out.

“On break?” A maroon-colored one standing next to it turned with a start and faced the orange one, “but we were just reactivated for the first time in thousands of years.”

“Yeah,” The orange one continued, “and I figure we built up a lot of backlogged break time, so I’m taking advantage now.”

“You can only backlog break time while you’re in the field, isn’t that right, Sarge?” The Maroon one shot back.

“Darn tootin’” The red one, Sarge answered with a gruff voice and an odd Texan accent, “You don’t earn a second of break time until you actually start to work.”

“But you know I hate work,” The orange one whined.

“Which is why I’m giving you DOUBLE duty, private,” Sarge answered, “Any day where you suffer is a day I sleep easy.”

“Hey!” Jack said, “Can you focus, please.”

The light blue Manhunter scoffed, “Clearly, you’ve never met us before. This is all we do. Ever.”

“It’s true,” The Black one said, “They bicker, whine and mock each other and that’s about it.”

“That’s not true,” The dark blue one countered slowly, “Sometimes we go on adventures and meet scary aliens and get yelled at by mean people and—”

“Stop, I get it,” Jack sighed.

“Perhaps,” Reika added, “This was not the wisest course of action.”

“Sir,” The Black one said with a feminine voice, “I believe proper introductions are in order. I am Manhunter Tex, Freelance Unit, Sir.”

“She’s got a point,” Sarge said, “I’m Manhunter Sarge, leader of Red Team.”

“I’m Griff, also of Red Team,” Griff said.

“I’m Manhunter Simmons, and if I may add sir,” the Maroon one answered before turning to the blue Manhunters, “SUCK IT BLUE!”

“Yeah, suck it!” Griff chimed in.

Sarge’s face remained static, but his voiced carried a hint of a smile as he said, “Nice timing, Simmons.”

“Thank you, sir.”

“Okay, ignoring them,” The blue Manhunter said, “I’m Manhunter Church, leader of blue team the slow one’s Manhunter Caboose.”

“Hi,” The dark blue manhunter said, “My name is Caboose; you want to be my friend?”

“And,” Church continued, “That’s Manhunter Tucker.”

“Hey,” Tucker casually answered.

“And I’m Manhunter Medical-Unit Dufrain,” The Purple one said.

“Everyone calls him Doc,” Church elaborated.

“I’m a combat medical Program,” Doc said, “Not a doctor.”

“Same diff, Doc,” Tucker snorted.

“Manhunters,” Diana interrupted, causing all of the machines to turn and face her, “Behave yourselves.”

“Yes, Ma’am,” They answered her and knelt before her in surprising synchronization, silencing their apparent animosity.

Jack felt a headache coming on when the sound of a large machine being scrapped against metal, followed by a loud thump repeated over and over again, drawing his attention to—

The Doctor’s TARDIS, as it materialized in front of them.

When the cacophony and light show died down, the Doctor stepped in.

“Ah, there you are,” The Doctor stepped out of the TARDIS with a grin and confident stride, “Figured you’d go either here or Antarctica—which of course means I went there first by mistake. It’s always the last places you look.”

"Greetings, Doctor," Diana Soriel said, “It has been a while.”

The smile on the Doctor’s face immediately faded as his eyes were drawn to her.

“Oh,” He said quietly, “Oh my…”

Diana said, “I deduced that I would see you again once I entered this state.”

The Doctor remained quiet, letting Diana continue.

“You’ve changed a great deal since then—you’ve gotten younger,” she smiled slightly, “and I miss the scarf.”

“Regeneration does have that affect,” The Doctor murmured, “Why did you do this to yourself, Diana?”

“Do this to herself?” Jack asked him.

The Doctor nodded slightly, “Diana Soriel was not a computer program when I knew her. Back at the height of Atlantis, she was its Queen.”

“And to protect my people,” Diana said, “I uploaded myself into the primary system of this last City-Ship to defend my people and the future of life on this planet. I committed my memories, biochemical makeup and essence to the protection of my people.”

“The ultimate sacrifice.”

“Yes, Doctor.” Diana said.

“But—”

Diana raised a hand and cut the doctor off, “Because you were not always around, Doctor. You can save this planet time and again, but you do not always save the planet from everything? That is asking too much of you, and those that did drove you way. Their greed and desire for war drew in Sauron, the Deceiver. He fooled us all and we paid the ultimate price for it.”

Her words were spoken calmly and without malice, but they still carried force with them, cutting into the Doctor like a knife, “With you gone and bound not to return until sometime far into the future, I enacted the RahXephon plan with you in mind.”

“You did this—all this—with me in mind?” The Doctor stammered slightly.

“Indeed,” Diana said, “Though more out of a sense of irony than anything else. We knew that the Dark History would consume us. All we could do was leave fail-safes to curb the things that brought about our downfall and protect the other humans not part of the Mu from our mistakes. The RaXephon was part of that system, but also something more.”

“Look,” Jack said, “I know this is really important stuff, but with Nazi’s breathing down are necks, could you cut it short?”

“Of course,” Diana lowered her head slightly, but her face grew darker ever so slightly, “We created an Alternate Reality for the RahXephon to fulfill its goal. We could not have it create a perfect world, but we could create a perfect life for one person. This is the world we live in now. It’s not perfect for everyone, but it is better than before.”

The Doctor grew visibly pale at this, “You did what?!”

“Create a New World,” Diana said, “I’m surprised you did not notice.”

“Y-You can’t just create a Reality like that without—”

“I know, that alternate Reality is gone, sublimated completely into this one,” Diana countered, “None who were in that universe were lost, they just have different lives within this one. This defeated most of our enemies without even having to harm them. As such, we no longer were needed as we were. Thus, we too were integrated back into this new reality. Only our time before the creation of the RaXephon mattered, in the end. All that is left is kept for the maintenance of what we created and chose to protect.

“Finally, we based the RaXephon’s tune on something you always cherished,” Diana’s eyes narrowed, “But could never give: Love.”

The word hung in the air like smoke.

“Love?” The Doctor’s expression lightened slightly.

“It is appropriately whimsical, I think.” Bitterness tinged the Queen’s voice, but only subtly, “Basing this new world on something you could never really express.”

After a moment, Jack added a simple line that garnered odd looks from everyone: “Still better than three quarters of an orphan.”

To which he followed with: “I guess I’m the only one who watches Venture Brothers here.”

Signum awoke with a start to meet the penetrating gaze of a pair of icy, scowling eyes.

“And where exactly have you been?” the owner of the eyes demanded.

Signum picked herself up from the slouch she fell in from the couch, towering over the tiny redhead giving her the evil eye. The scowl of Vita’s skull and crossed-bones t-shirt matched her overall facial expression.

“I was out, Vita,” Signum ran a hand through her disheveled hair, slowly rousing herself from her slumbering state.

“You were out to see him, weren’t you?” Vita barked.

Signum paused before she said, “Not entirely,” before adding in a telepathic communication “I also took care of Wodan Ymir. His slaughter of our targets ended last night.”

Vita telepathically responded, “At least there’s that, but—”

Another girl, even smaller than Vita, wheeled in with a tray on her lap full of warm food.

“You shouldn’t sleep like that, Signum,” she said, “You’ll catch a cold.”

“I’m sorry,’ Signum answered.

“So” the girl’s face grew a Cheshire grin, “Who’s ‘Him’?”

Vita’s silence allowed Signum to quickly answer, “His name is Harry Dresden, Hayate. I believe I have developed affection for him.”

“Harri Du-re-su-den?” the girl, Hayate, took her time pronouncing the name, “really? Where’d you meet?”

A pause followed before Signum answered, “We were opponents in kendo.”

“Oh?” Hayate purred, “Did he beat you and now you can’t rest until you cross swords with him again?”

Another pause followed, “Nothing as dramatic as that, no,” Signum said, “Also, I defeated him three times so far.”

“Ah, so now he is—”

“Not especially,” Signum cut her off, “But he is a tenacious and intelligent opponent.”

“I swear”, Vita sighed, “You watch too much anime, Hayate.”

“Have you asked him out yet?” Hayate asked Signum, earning the taller woman a death glare from Vita.

“Not yet,” Signum answered, “The timing has not been right. He is also from out of town—commuting for him is something of a problem.”

“That’s too bad,” Hayate’s face fell, “Doesn’t mean you should give up, though.”

“I had no intention of doing so, master.”

“Please,” Hayate, “Just call me Hayate.”

“My apologies.”
