Welcome to Gaia! ::

~Before the Fall~

"Well that makes sense sadly." Dawn said to Yuri. "And nothing dear. I just had to help track down my father and help traverse time and space to enter another universe." Dawn said to Clawson as she smiled at her. "You sound like you're having a good time though."

"You didn't get hurt while out fighting, did you?" Omega asked Moltara though he thought that it was impossible due to her body and that it was comprised of magma.

Voltaire gave a nod before sighing softly. "Maybe they learned a lesson once they reached the afterlife." He said more to himself as he noticed that the kids had left for the medical room.

Fenrir looked at Dysis before thinking about it and then laughing. "I never even thought about that!" He happily exclaimed as he laughed more using the closest wall to keep himself upright.

"The Triforian Star System? Wow! Too bad we don't have the time to visit the mall here. It's supposed to be pretty incredible." Chase said as she smiled softly.

"Maybe we can if we can stop Specter and Kronos." Marlon said as he smiled a little. "I want to see it too."

"Great. Now I want to see it too. Would be great to get some souvenirs for the kids." Lunette said while Ursula nodded. She giggled as she watched OJ thinking back to her own son and smiled softly. "Don't grow too attached to me, cutie. This pirate's got her own universe to get back to." She said with a playful wink while tickling the infant's belly.

"We're in a different universe though. Maybe they don't have the mall." Balthazar said to Chase as he chuckled nervously while hoping that he wouldn't end up a pack mule.

~Hallway leading to Medical Center~

"'The past is behind us now. All we can do is move forward.' Sorry. It's something that my family would often tell me following Hope. My grandfather used to say it though in regards to failure when I and my siblings were young. Well...younger.." Lucky said as he listened to the group. "So who wishes to go first?" He questioned as he looked over the children.

~And now to Current Time~

-Dysis-

Lunette quickly wrapped her tail around OJ before hugging tightly. She was then caught and held by Ursula who dug her claws in to keep her balance.

"Looks like that hit knocked Dysis out. Is there any way to wake her?" Omega asked while he, Chase, and Voltaire tried to help keep everyone safe and contained until the crisis was over.

"Perhaps an electric shock or manual controls." Mako replied. "Dysis does have manual controls, right?"

"I hope the the others are alright. I'm sure this was bad timing for anything medical." Chase said with a heavy sigh.

-Hall leading to Medical Center-

Lucky quickly threw a few bombs about that exploded with a sticky substance. "Grab on!" He said before doing such now practically sitting in the web that he had made. 'What happened, Dysis?' He thought as he looked around for some way to help her.

~Space~

"Are you alright, Specter? It appears that they've begun to set up counter-measures for your sucker punches. I think I actually felt that one." Kronos said with a chuckle.

"Indeed. If it had struck any harder, the rest of us may have been flung into the void." One of the others that had been picked up by Specter and Kronos said while looking at his new companions. He was a rather burly figure, muscular in every aspect, appearing to be some kind of gladiatorial champion. His skin was rather dark in color almost as black as Specter's hardened lava scales as if he too were made of lava as well. He lacked hair entirely while his body was adorned with white cloth that had become rather dirty with both blood and dirt from his numerous battles from before. He wore no armor at the moment with only the cloth forming a single sleeve toga over his otherwise bare body. On his back was a golden sheath for his swords which weren't present having lost those in what had been his final battle. His eyes glowed with a golden light signifying the life still in them and the power that burned within him. "Although I am grateful for both my wife's and my own resurrections, it would be a pity and embarrassment to die from being knocked off of a massive lava beast and freeze to death in space."

"Yes, yes Sotrak. We shall keep that in mind. Or is this because you feel bored?" Kronos questioned.

"I am a god of war. Running and biding are not things that I am used to." Sotrak replied.

~Triforian Mall~

While Dysis plummeted towards it, the Triforian Mall had a few special guests in attendance on this day. Several Ranger Cadets were taking some much needed time off at the mall doing whatever they wanted. The number of cadets was rather large for one team, but in truth, the group consisted of several teams with the core team - known as Team Origin - having recruited all of the others. With all of the bags and packages around, it was clear that there had been a shopping spree or few that had happened, but the large group of cadets seemed to be relaxing at the moment.

"Ooo~ooo! A shooting star! Well kinda more of a falling one, but still! Quick! Make a wish everyone!" A pink pony zoan said as she happily bounced about in her seat pointing towards what did appear to be a falling star.

"That's not a star. It's a ship." Calmly said one of the other cadets. She slightly adjusted her sunglasses as she continued to look where the pink pony was pointing.

"And not just any ship either. It's Serpenterra!" Added one of the other cadets. He was a wolf zoan that many could say was a bit familiar. The gears in his right eye turned and clicked as he zoomed in to see better.

"Aw yeah! Action time guys! Let's get to the ship and corral it before it crashes into something." Excitedly said a grizzly bear cadet as he grinned wide.

"Yeah...especially before it crashes into us." Said a krybot cadet as she looked up in shock.

"But...wasn't Serpenterra destroyed? How's it suddenly plummeting towards us?" Questioned a human cadet as he looked towards the oncoming threat.

~Aboard Dysis~

"Anything any of us can do to help? Not liking the thought of crashing." Chase asked.

Fenrir looked around quickly to see if there were any buttons or levers that were being overlooked. "If only there was an obvious 'Wake Dysis' button." He said as he kept searching.

"Good luck with that guys. We'll do what we can here and hope for the best." Voltaire said as he scanned about to help Zedd find a way to regain control.

"Hey! Looks like there's.....the Enterprise? What the flip?" Marlon questioned as he looked out at the building that they were heading towards.

"Wait...what?" Fenrir asked before hurrying to a window. "Holy ********! What's that doing here? Is Picard going to save us!?"

-Medical Center-

"I wish they would quit attacking her.." Lucky growled before looking to his hammer. 'A jolt might wake her, however, it may also damage her further. It's far too risky..' He thought before he began pondering on what he could do.

~Space~

"I'm glad that you'll be alright. You're like our ace in all this." Kronos said as his tail wagged a little.

"When you put it that way, I know you're right, but I still want to punch you." Sotrak said to the man before him. "So do we know who it is that we're picking up here or where to find them?" He added before sighing. "Sorry. I just really want to punch things right now."

~Enterprise~

"What we're gonna do is try to stop that from crashing into the mall." The Sirian cadet said to the panda. "It's pretty much all we can do."

"Great idea Lita. Communication's your thing, Tatiyana." The purple male cadet said as he took to his station.

"About half an hour given the distance and rate of speed." Omega answered. Despite the name being familiar, this version was far older than the other that had only nodded in agreement. "Since the me of this time is off on the solo mission, I'll take over for him." He said hopping into his absent self's position. "Also good that I wore my Yellow uniform today." He said as he chuckled a little. "You guys're in for a treat on this one."

"This is going to be interesting to send back home." The younger Omega commented.

"Wait....old Omega...what'd'ya mean by that?" A blue pegasus pony asked.

"You'll see, Dashie." The older Omega replied with a wink.

~Aboard Dysis~

"Sounds like Dysis will be waking up soon then if Zedd's hunch is right." Marlon said sounding hopeful. "Wonder what's going on though on that ship." He said referencing the Enterprise that the others were seeing.

"Jean-Luc Picard was the commanding officer of the Enterprise, a ship from the Star Trek tv series. I guess someone made a replica of the ship and was at the mall. Not sure if the actual Enterprise crew is on that ship or not, but whoever's on it seems to be coming to help us." Fenrir said as he smiled to Zack. "Any luck with communications?"

"Energy readings from that ship are....ridiculously numerous. And even....rather familiar to some degree.." Omega said sounding rather perplexed and intrigued.

"If we need a barrier up, just let me know." Chase said ready to help out as best she could.

-Medical Center-

Lucky sighed before nodding. He then began moving about the room installing a strange looking device in each corner. Once it was ready, he pressed a button on the device in his hand before the room became stable despite Dysis' freefalling state. "This should help. It is a stabilizer that I had been working on. I had never had a proper chance to truly test it. Until now that is. Hopefully, it will hold until our crisis is over. It should keep this room stable despite whatever Dysis and the others experience outside of this room."

~Space~

"Well this should be interesting. He was destroyed in our universe. We should be prepared for him to attempt backstabbing us." Kronos said before Arma nodded.

"Indeed.. With each new ally, there's a growing chance that someone could become a problem." Arma spoke. "However, that just be my paranoia from a prior experience." She added with a shrug.

"It will be interesting if this Thrax person wants to put up a fight first though." Sotrak said with a grin.

~Enterprise~

"Huh. Another Zedd. Now that's crazy." Marlon said before the old Omega began to grin.

"If I remember hearin' this right, there's a little cat named 'Yuri' with ya, huh?" The old Omega said as his tail shifted about behind him a little. "Anyways, once that secondary system's up, will it help awaken her?"

"'Her'?" The young boy asked as he looked at the older Omega.

"Yeah. That there fallin' star of a metal dragon is female. Her name's 'Dysis' if I remember what Venus had told me correctly. Oh, by the way, the me of your time is going to be so ticked that he missed out on this. You should already see that comin', Admiral." He said answering the boy before addressing Tommy.

"That's a pretty nice name." Chase said before looking to the other Zedd on the screen. "Wow. You look just like our Zedd. I know this isn't the best time for it, but I so want to know what things are like where you're from. Are you from another universe or an alternate reality like our old Omega?"

"This....is....sooo....amazing!" The purple alicorn finally excitedly spoke as her eyes shimmered and sparkled. "I'm with Chase on this one. I want to ask so many questions!"

"Whoa there Twi. First thing's first with saving them from crashin' into the mall, then you an' Chase can bombard 'im with questions." The blonde earth pony said as she looked at her friend.

"If we can't use a tractor beam, then what could we use? A tow cable sounds just as bad." Fenrir said. "What about a docking maneuver? We use the ship to dock Dysis and help fix the trajectory until we're the ones carrying her. It's pretty risky though. Not gonna lie, we're gonna have some dents to buff out, scratches to fix, and paint to reapply though."

~Aboard Dysis~

"Well it looks like Dysis is awake again so we shouldn't have to worry about the other ship destroying us." Marlon said as he smiled softly.

"I can barely hear it. Shut doors do muffle sounds." Fenrir replied before looked to Zack. "Heck yeah! I'd love to introduce you to it! Great series!" He happily said.

"Looks like we don't have to worry so much now." Chase said as she sighed in relief. "Guess you don't have to worry about piloting Dysis now, Cathy."

~Medical Center~

"You are welcome. I am glad that my invention works, but it sounds like Dysis has awaken again. However, I shall leave the stabilizer here to better handle medical situations. And to also keep the equipment in one place rather than strewn about all willy-nilly." Lucky said before looking at Zeddic. "Sadly, yes it does. It would seem that I will need to work on more defenses for Dysis.." He heavily sighed. "But if we are ready here, then let us get to work. Who was first again?"

~Space~

"Yup. It would seem rather inevitable." Kronos replied with a shrug. "C'est la vie I guess. So where are we heading?"

~Enterprise~

"Man that's a sick joke." Pinkie said to Yuri.

"Still, they're alive, their Serpenterra's awake, and the day is saved." Marlon said with a grin.

"Yes. I'm from the future. Five hundred years to be exact. It's good to see you again. Since I was not here for the original adventure of this, I decided to step in for this time around. Sure, I could've swapped places with the me of this time....and.....wait....hmmm...maybe...... Well anyways, I meet you on a later cross-universal/dimensional adventure. Yes, there's another one. Least in my timeline. I won't go further into it though." The old Omega said before chuckling a little. "Still.." He muttered to himself as he began stroking his beard in thought.

"Preparing docking procedures then." Fenrir said as he moved the ship to dock alongside Dysis. "Just tell me where to line 'er up."

Chase smiled as he put up a barrier around the ship with Steven's help to make sure that they didn't get damaged in case Fenrir was too close. "We'll expand the shield once we're close to you guys." He said to Zedd as a second Chase appeared to assist. "Can't wait to meet you and your friends."

~Aboard Dysis~

"Welcome back you two." Chase said as she smiled at Yuri and Zedd. "Who're you guys talking to? And yeah. We're all fine. Cathy's wondering why you stuck her on pilot duty."

"Hey! Are they the ones...on the...Enter...holy s**t! It's another universe of uses!" Fenrir said. "And I'm piloting it? YES! ******** YEAH!!" He celebrated.

"Man this is going to get interesting. Their Omega's so old though." Omega said with a chuckle before he saw his son giggle while Lunette continued to play with him. "Don't get too attached kiddo." He grinned.

{Ain't that old. Just over five hundred and seventeen. Alternate timeline as well. It's really nice to actually be on this adventure.} Said the old Omega before he chuckled.

{Gotcha. Pulling up along the left side. You might feel a bit of a sting. I have no idea.} The other Fenrir said more to Dysis as he initiated the docking procedures while his Chase and Steven extended the barrier around both ships. {There's so much to see here. See you guys soon.} He said with a grin and a wave.

{Guess it would make sense. Gotta be able to laugh.} Pinkie said to Yuri. {What's a Krypzard though? I know a zombie, but he's not bad. Well kinda know. We only met like about an hour ago.}

{Should we head back to the mall after this? Is anyone hungry?"} Grizz curiously asked.

"Food does sound really good. Ursula hungry after previous universe." Ursula said as her tail wagged happily.

{That is one big lioness.} Galactic Marlon said in amazement. {Wait...Volt. Didn't you mention something about..} He asked looking back to another older looking Omega with his group who was staring.

{....Wait....are you....Lunette? Ursula? What're you two doing here? And is that...me?}

"Omega?!" Both Ursula and Lunette replied in shock.

"Huh. So the clone Lucky made ended up in this universe then? Well that's interesting." Voltaire said in surprise. "And who's all around you?"

"Whoa guys. Let's have this reunion when we're on their ship." Academy Chase interrupted.

{Never thought I'd see faces from home here. This is gonna be some crazy sauce. Did I say that right?} The clone Omega said before rubbing his right eye as the growlithe boy with him nodded approving of what he said. {Thanks Cade.}

~Medical Center~

Lucky nodded as he listened to Zedd. "Yuri could be rather valuable in assisting. Especially with his diminutive size and skills." He agreed before looking to Aisha. "Alright. Time to power down and let's see what we can do." He said as he smiled gently to her.

~Space~

"Heh. Sounds pretty pathetic then. Are you sure we need someone who couldn't even manage his own troops?" Sotrak questioned.

"Perhaps. but at least his power could be handy in this endeavor of ours." Kronos replied as he chuckled a little. "Sounds like he'll be easy to recruit as well."

~Aboard Dysis~

{Docking procedures are almost complete. Sorry for the wait guys.} Galactic Fenrir said as he waited to hear from Dysis before sending the bridge.

"It's alright. This is kinda a first for us too." Academy Chase replied as she giggled before looking at her Zedd. "Well that makes sense then. And it all worked out so that's a plus."

{Well you guys certainly hit the jackpot with us! You're getting several teams for this one. Plus an old Omega.} Spike said with a grin before the old Omega vanished returning a moment later with his younger counterpart.

{Huh? What? I think I got duplicated.} Galactic Omega said as he rubbed his head a bit in confusion. {Not complaining though, but...uhh...someone wanna tell me what in the name of Celestia's goin' on here? And why there's two other guys that look like me on this screen?}

"Well first off, me and the older guy over there are you. We're just from different universes." Academy Omega answered. "Second, my grandpa, on mom's side, has teamed up with Dark Specter from our universe to traverse other universes gathering an army of villains to try and destroy us. We've been following them and gathering allies along the way." He said before pointing to Voltaire. "This b*****d had a good life! Never had to suffer what I had to.. Never lost his family. Went to school. Worse thing that happened to him was getting clonked on the head by a coconut and gaining amnesia for five years."

{b*****d!} Galactic Omega shouted while the clone Omega kept quiet and blended into the background.

"Hey! I died too. By the god that I ended up killing and taking his blade. He tried to kill me again I think with the freak storm that swept me away while we were leaving Krayos." Voltaire replied.

"Ursula still glad it happened." Ursula said while blushing and her tail wagged happily.

"Alright guys. You two can beat up on lucky guy once we're on the same ship." Academy Fenrir joked.

{Huh. Can't wait to see what these new cooks can do then.} Galactic Marlon said as he chuckled a little having already known.

"Wait, what did Lucky do to the med bay?" Academy Marlon asked.

~Medical Center~

Lucky looked at Aisha and shook his head. "I would never laugh." He said as he scanned Aisha before he began to work on healing her burn wounds first. Her clothing, or more lack thereof, made it easier for him to work and get to all of her wounds. He was completely focused at this point, his eyes moving around slowly to make sure that his work was as flawless as possible. After a moment, a small robot popped up seemingly appearing from out of thin air as it seemed to hover about Aisha scanning her more as Lucky continued to work.

~Space~

"They have one here too?" Kronos asked in surprise.

"An academy training people to be anti-Power Rangers? Oh my~! That sounds absolutely wonderful! Let's get them too!" Arma replied as she smiled wide.

Both Omegas' (Academy and Galactic) eye flashed red for a moment before they opened their mouths to speak to Scrooge only for Academy Omega's mouth to be held shut by his corresponding Fenrir and Galactic Omega's to be held shut by his future self.

"That was probably not the best thing to say.." Galactic Fenrir said to Scrooge before sighing. "They might've needed to hear that, but I'm pretty sure they both want to roast you now. And maybe their version of me too 'cause he looks pretty scared from what he's doing. Glad that ain't...well me." He chuckled.

Galactic Omega snorted causing flames to shoot out from his nostrils before his older self released him thinking he had calmed enough. "We'll talk about this later. I got steam to blow off.." He said before leaving for the simulator.

"Think we should see if there's something any of us can do to help him?" Twilight asked Venus wanting her opinion on the matter.

"That was tense, but hey! Looks like the docking procedures're almost done!" Grizz happily said.

"Man, Uncle Scrooge, that might've been pushing your luck a little. Kudos for sayin' it, but I'm pretty sure that you struck a nerve that you shouldn't have." Huey said after watching Omega leave.

"It's fine. He struck a nerve, but that could've gone worse if he was any more upset by it. Since he cooled off some in those few seconds, he'll just go to the simulator and beat up some baddies there until it's outta his system. Now if he had turned crimson or gained neon purple markings, then I would've had to knock him out."

~"Neon purple markings?"~ Asked Academy Chase as she watched.

"It's a side of myself that I managed to get control of in time. For now, that side of him should remain asleep. I'm not sure about your Omega and if he holds that same side too."

~"Nah. I think he's only got Shadow and Anarchy."~ Academy Fenrir said before both ships shook slightly. ~"Seems that docking's complete. Maybe you can check him when we come over."~

~"Speaking of Lucky. Someone should probably go tell him and the others that we're about to head over. Think you can do that Dysis?"~ Academy Marlon asked.

~Dysis - Medical Center~

Hearing the reactions of the others, the robot gave a couple beeps before quickly retreating back into Lucky's shirt pocket.

Lucky stopped before nodding a little as he continued to work in silence focusing as best he could to help Aisha. "Please keep still." He calmly said to her.

~Space~

"Not at all. And as 'villains' from other universes, there is much that we could offer to teach them in order to sweeten the deal." Kronos said before laughing joyously.
