Being able to use this mf earlier in the story is so much fun, I won't lie 🫠

Cutting through the clear blue sky, a bright streak of light barreled down towards the Anaheim theme park.

At first, bystanders who'd caught a glimpse of it simply dismissed it as a passing airplane. However, as it began its rapid decent into the park's boarders, those thoughts were soon replaced with possibilities for what crazy new tech it was that had just been tested for the upcoming Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge land.

But no one would've ever guessed the crazy truth!

*CRASH!!!!!*

"Ugggh...." Krux groaned from the floor of the cockpit, "brother, are you alright?"

"I'm fine!" Acronix replied, picking himself up off the control panel he'd been flung into upon impact, "Come, let's finish our conquest!"

So the crazy duo dusted themselves off and hopped out of the Iron Doom via the now-shattered windshield, eager to finish what they'd started over 40 years ago....but something was amiss.

"Shouldn't we be in some kind of super-cool, high tech city of the future?" Acronix muttered, confused as to how the pair was now standing in the middle of a jungle.

"No," Krux replied, "We should be on the Mountain of a Million Steps; but we can't be too far off! Let's just fire this baby back up and....."

Krux went silent after turning around and getting a good eye-full of the damage that the Iron Doom sustained! Chunks of metal were ripped clean off! Vermillion snakes poured from the device's every inch, slithering in tangled knots through the mud!

But what really freaked him out, was that the Time Blades were nowhere to be found!

"This is just EXCELLENT!" Krux ranted, "I bet all our maps got burnt up too!"

"No need!" Acronix boasted, gesturing to his BorgWatch.

Krux face palmed, "We don't have time to play with that frivolous-"

"Found our location!" Acronix cut off his brother, "It says we're someplace called... Dis-knee-land?"

"What!?" Krux said, taking a look at the info on the BorgWatch, "Looks like some kind of amusement park, like Mega Monster. At least this wreak should blend in."

"That would explain the replica of Borg Tower I saw on the way down..." Acronix mused.

"Sounds like a good place to start," Krux said, "you head there and try to find as much as you can to fix the Iron Doom; meanwhile I'll try to find out more about this place and where our Time Blades landed. Fortunately, this seems to be a good habitat for the Vermillion, so they should be fine for now."

With that, the Time Twins high-fived and went their separate ways; Acronix having leaped over the small river (grateful that the passing safari boat didn't notice him) and headed towards the tower. Meanwhile, Krux slipped into his Dr. Saunders disguise and was ready to see what info he could get from a museum he'd seen on the map...

"I still can't believe they had a shirt of Nya not just in my size, but in her original style too!" I smiled to the group, showing off the red shirt I'm wearing that features Nya with her helmet off and the caption 'Hire A Samurai'.

"No wonder you picked Cole for your keychain," I turned to Jade, "you'd probably be his new best friend, between your cake skills and cute ears!" ( @geekywinemom )

Then I notice the others walking up to join us.

"Perfect timing guys," I call, "I was just about to get out our passes. Let's see; one for Jade, one for Owen, one for Kavi, one for Lindsey, one for June, one for Ciel....."

"These are some kind of crazy all-access VIP pass," I explain as I hand out the gold-colored papers and their lanyards, "apparently we get immediate front of the line privileges at every ride, special reserved viewing areas for any shows we want, and discounts on all kinds of different things!"

"So, where do you guys want to go first?" I ask as I finish tucking the extra passes safely in my backpack.
