Wally was a bit worried about how to get in to Professor Richard's lab. His key code would be different than Barry's, which Wally did know. And he didn't have the superspeed to try a billion different combinations in a minute.
It turned out his worries were moot; the lab was already open and two students were inside.
"Hartley Rathaway?" Wally raised an eyebrow at his chemistry lab partner, who was standing with his arms crossed a few feet away from a dark-haired Asian student.
"Great, now we've been caught. I knew this would happen. I hope you're happy, Amadeus." Amadeus Cho looked up from what he was working on and shrugged.
"I don't think he's here to tell on us."
"You're right. I'm here for a-"
"Spaceship." Amadeus stepped away from the control panel on what Wally now realized was, in fact, one of Professor Richards's spaceships. "Reprogrammed and ready to go."
"How did you know?" Wally looked up at the craft, agape.
"It's a side project I've been working on. Just a few more adjustments and we can go into space. Step away and give me some working space."
Wally joined Hartley on the other side of the room, both of them glancing over at the little newcomer.
"That kid's weird."
"TELL me about it." Hartley replied.
"I mean, I thought you were strange, but he takes the cake."
"THANKS." Hartley gave Wally a stare. He shook it off the next moment, though, as he leaned in to Wally. "But I've been looking into him a little bit, and weird doesn't even cover it. He says his power is super-genius, right? But according to what I found in the school records - "
"How did you get into the school records?!"
"Never mind that! According to the school records, his power is, like, super-math calculating. Which is well and good, but 'identifing the variables and quantum possibilities in any situation' doesn't translate to 'dude, I can rebuild a rocket.'"
"Strange."
"Plus, he's a total dickhead."
Thanks to being robbed of his powers, Wally was able to shut his mouth before replying 'takes one to know one.' Meanwhile, Cho set down his tools and turned to them.
"There. Finished. Get in."
"Wait, you're not coming with me."
"Damn right I'm not. I've had terrible experiences on other planets." Hartley backed away.
"Illogical. If everyone is not actively engaged in repelling the Clone Wars from Earth, the result will be catastrophic to future events."
"What future events?" Wally puzzled. "The only events coming up are the Valentine's Day dance, and the rumor was that we were going to have that in a bombproof shelter this year."
Cho shook his head. "Don't worry about it. We just need to get going."
The sound of an explosion rocked outside. The battle droids must have been trying to infiltrate the school.
"All right, fine. My plan is to fly to-"
"The Future Foundation hospital that is orbiting in space above the school, and then to find a way from there to infiltrate the Sith ship that is coordinating the attack on Earth." Cho interrupted. Wally gave Hartley a glance. Hartley gave him a 'see what I mean?!' look back.
"Yeah. That's it. That's the plan. Since I've been depowered, I'm hoping Dr. Richards has something in his space hospital that can help me. All right, let's suit up and get going." The three boys grabbed the nearby spacesuits and began preparing. Wally pulled out his phone and decided to risk sending a text to Linda Park.
"Hang tight! Help is on the way. Wally"

Achilles watched as the others went to battle against these invaders and the "war lust" in his heart beckoned to him as well. There was only one problem;
The Monster High kids that came with were riding along on Mysia's back. He knew that perhaps as a witch, the boy Liir could be of use in a fight, but the others? They he was unsure of. Thus, it was his responsibility to do what he could while protecting the others.
Direct combat was not an option.
"Mysia!" Achilles bellowed. "Forward! Send these invaders back to the depths of nothingness where they were spawned!"
Mysia dropped to the terrain and started to stomp forward, crushing androids beneath her gargantuan feet while the lasers deflected harmlessly from her impenetrable body while acting as a shield to her riders!

Cassandra Sandsmark Anakin with his troops were slashing down battle droids. Soon he was right next to Chris... he looked over vaguely recognizing him as a student from Hero High. " What are you doing out here? This isn't some small battle... it's war! I'm sorry our fight was brought to your planet but you and your friends should take cover we can handle this."Truth was Anakin was worried Karen was out in this... he had a bad feeling about her. *If Chris wasn't in his armor, he would have rolled his eyes.* This became our war when it came to our planet. Don't worry about us... *Chris's armor reconfigured into heavy assault mode and he unleashed a series of blasts that cleared all the battle droids in a ten foot radius.* ....we can handle ourselves. *He pointed towards Jen, who was smashing a AAT into bits, and Cassie, who was smashing droids in groups of five.*

Jen was getting a bit overwhelmed by the ATTs they had all started to target her and she had been holding herself back. There were still innocents running around.
She was knocked by one of the tanks almost knocking her down.
"Oh we are not playing the I push you, you push me game... I always win!" Jen pushed into the large tank charging it back into it's other tank making a huge pile up.
"Coming through!" Jen cried as the pile up started getting larger as she climbed to the top. It made it easier to see how many droids were surrounding the town. It was indeed an army. It would need a lot more smashing. "Well taking out these guys will start." Jen slammed down on her makeshift mountain and whatever droid tanks had survived shattered from the impact.

Linda sat in the cell... food was served to each of them.. it looked rancid. She more or less kept quiet unsure of what happened to Karen or what was to be done with Jackson and herself. It was then she felt her phone vibrate.. a text.
"Hang tight! Help is on the way. Wally"
Linda blinked puzzled for a minute. She then realized when she sent her text she didn't just send it to Clark... she hit send to all. But still why would Wally risk his life to try and help her? Linda was a little confused, it wasn't like they ever got along or anything. Is it possible that maybe she was wrong about him?
******************************************
Anakin looked at Chris, he couldn't blame him for defending his home still there was nagging feeling in the back of his mind.
" Can you at least do me a favor and tell me where Karen is? She's not exactely one to miss a battle for the planet."
Anakin was still fighting off droids with his lightsaber as he was talking to Chris.

Uh...
*Chris didn't want to alarm Anakin...especially when he was holding a lightsaber.*
Er...Boobs McGee? I mean, Karen Starr? That Karen? She may...possibly...have been kidnapped. And on a spaceship.

"Three...two....one. Blast off!" Wally held onto his seat as the rocket ship started rumbling and came to life. There was open sky up above them. They were doing this thing.
"Atomic batteries to power...turbines to speed..." Cho was in charge of navigation, but it didn't seem really necessary. The ship already had a pre-programmed course to head straight to the flying hospital created by Reed Richard's Future Foundation in geosynchronous orbit above Hero High.
"Hate this, hate this, hatethishatethishatethis-" Hartley muttered under his breath as the G-forces hit them. Why was he here, and not taking cover? Taking cover with Wallace? Taking cover with Wallace and making out until this was all over?
Because apparently he was some sort of masochistic idiot.
"Woah." It was all Wally could say. Was this what living life was like for normal people? Everything happening so fast? Usually for Wally, the excitement and amazement of something new wore off incredibly fast as his hummingbird attention span drove him to constantly focus on new things. But this...launching into space on a clandestine mission to save the girl and maybe the world...this was pretty awesome.
"ETA in eight minutes." Amadeus informed his co-adventurers. He seemed perfectly at ease for a kid who as far as Hartley had learned, had spent most of his adventuring time in the Mojave desert.
"Brace yourselves....this rocket has no cloaking ability. If the Sith see us, they WILL attack."

Mysia stomped her way through the horde of androids that were opening fire at her gargantuan form but doing little damage against her invulnerable hide! The lasers employed simply blasted back off of her as Achilles shouted, directing her towards others while the Monster High clique riding behind him shielded themselves.
"Unghhh uhh!"
Ghoulia, seated right behind Achilles, tapped him on the arm and pointed at a cruiser that was slowly rising off of the ground.
"Up, Mysia!"
The giant elephant trumpeted and she started to walk into the air to meet this new threat when Cleo intervened.
"No need!" She said with urgency. "Shield your eyes."
"What?"
"Shield your eyes!"
Everyone, Achilles (and Mysia) included closed their eyes tightly and Deuce whipped his shades off and his the power behind his Gorgon gaze was directed right at the ship headed toward them. Unlike his mother, his gaze could affect non-living things and the craft was immediately turned to solid rock -- and it plummeted from the sky, crushing a squad of the andoids beneath them!
"You truly are your mother's son!" Achilles called when he heard a strange hissing noise behind him. He looked over his shoulder to see that it was Cleo herself whispering a strange language, her eyes directed down at the ground.
The few Sith who were on the ground with the android troops soon found themselves under attack by countless numbers of snakes!
Achilles laughed, "There is definitely more to you than meets the eye!" He then stood up on Mysia's back and called out, "Do what you can but do not risk yourselves more than necessary! Mysia will protect you!"
He then leapt off and came crashing down into a number of the troops and started swinging with hand and sword!
"Ughhnn!" Ghoulia pointed and Frankie gasped.
"Look! One of their ships is empty Ghoulia says!" Frankie pointed out.
"Can you fly it?" Deuce asked Ghoulia and the zombie teen smiled.
"I am so in!" Clawdeen snarled.

Chris's words took Anakin by surprise.
" KIDNAPPED?!!!!"
Anakin almost didn't pay attention to droid attacking behind him. He slashed the machine with his saber. Then looked at Chris.
" The others can handle this... We need to get Karen back. My ship's not to far from here. You in?"

*Chris almost squeed! A real starfighter! A ride in an ARC 170 would be awesome!*
Uh...yea!
*Chris followed Anakin to the Jedi padawan's starfighter and stopped.*
Er...that's an Aethersprite. There's no room for me in that.
*Anakin gave him a strange look.*
What? I get a newsletter about you guys.
...
Listen, my armor can survive deep space. I'll just grab on to your ship, hang on the outside, and you fly us up there. Maybe I should tell my girlfriend before I go...

Draculaura, being a pure vampire, could not be detected by scanners or any scientific means, so she crept carefully past the squad of androids that were stationed before the Separatist transport ship without being seen.
Once inside, she looked around carefully and saw that the ship was empty as all droids and Sith were on the terrain, doing battle. She walked over to the front of the ship where the controls were and put in her ear piece to her I-Coffin and started to talk into it.
"Okay! What do I do now?"
Outside and hidden behind a building, Ghoulia spoke into her own I-Coffin, giving her instructions.
"Unghhh, ughhghh!"
Draculaura said, "Right!" and she promptly started to tap away at the controls while Ghoulia passed along the instructions.
Outside, Deuce shook his head and smiled in wonder, "Look at that! Wicked!"
Referring to Achilles dodging several laser rifle blasts and he scooped a small cruiser up and heaved it right at an android battalion! The cruiser crushed a number of droids but more were still coming!
"Oh no!" Frankie gasped. "Look!"
The MH kids turned and saw a android squad heading right for the back of the ship, thus right toward Draculara!
"Deuce! Stone them!"
"I can't! Some of the Hero High kids are in my line of sight! I'll getg them!"
"Ghoulia! Warn Draculaura! One of the Sith must have seen her! Tell her to get out of there!"
"Unghhh!"
Inside the ship, Draculaura gasped.
"What!? They know I'm in here? Oh no! What do I do? What do I do?"
She looked at the control panel and whimpered.
"One of these buttons has to be a weapon!"
She covered her eyes with one hand and started pointing at various buttons on the panel...
"My mother told me to pick THIS ONE!"
**click**
Outside the back jet engines ignited and blew away the squad of androids that were advancing on the ship.
Deuce looked up, "That works too!"

Anakin looked at Chris and nodded.
"Very well then but be quick about it... this is only the first wave of battle droids more are sure to come."
*******************************************************************************
Cassie was still fighting the battle droids... they wouldn't stop coming. She was next to Jen, it was funny in a way that they should be partners in battle. As the swarms kept coming soon Vash came outta seemingly no where with about twenty other Toonami Tech students.
" Sorry I would've brought more people but the rest are busy in Tokyo."
Cassie looked at him...
"Tokyo?"
"Yeah these things are world wide. The whole reason Hogwarts hasn't shown up yet is their busy in Europe... but some of them still might make it."

*Chris nodded a flew over to where Cassie was talking to Vash. He armored down and butted in on their conversation.*
Cass, I'm riding Anakin's fighter up to one of the heavy cruisers in orbit. He wants my help to break Karen out. We'll grab Linda and anyone else we find up there. My laptop is jammed full of information on Jedi and stuff if you need it. I'll be back as soon as I can.
*He grabbed her and kissed her for a long time.*
Stay safe. I love you.
*With that, Chris armored back up and went back to Anakin;s starfighter. He grabbed on to a wing and nodded.*
Let's rock.

Wally was worried that they'd have problems once Professor Richards learned they'd stolen his spaceship, but it turned out that the Future Foundation hospital that was orbiting Earth had problems of its own.
There was a giant, wedge-shaped ship firing on the hospital ship. Wally grimaced.
"Those bastards! That's a hospital there!"
"The shots aren't getting through." Hartley pointed out. "Mrs. Richards must be using her force field."
"On the entire ship?!" Wally was incredulous. The FF hospital ship was the size of a skyscraper. She had to be straining incredibly in there. "Okay, forget about landing. Is there anything we can do to help them?"
"No offensive weapons on this ship." Cho replied. "But I do think we should change our landing trajectory. Instead of landing on the hospital, I think we should land here." He pointed on his viewscreen. Wally gaped.
"On that giant pie-ship?!"
"The star destroyer, and yes. It's in the closest orbit to where your friends were taken from, which means that they are probably on there. And since the ships are concentrating on attacking the Future Foundation right now, they will not pursue our small, insignificant ship if we can find an empty docking bay."
Wally didn't need to think twice.
"Let's do it. Hopefully once we're on board we'll be in a better position to help everyone."
The tiny spaceship shifted course and headed for the Star Destroyer. As Cho had predicted, it was ignored as the fighter ships concentrated on barraging the Future Foundation. Wally hoped that Mrs. Richards could hang in there.
The three teens braced themselves as they found an empty docking bay and landed. The ship was dwarfed in comparison to everything else in the bay. It was no wonder they could slip in unnoticed.
Stashing their space suits, Hartley, Amadeus and Wally disembarked.
"What do we do now?" Hartley asked. He didn't want to be here. At all. "Besides wait to be captured and interrogated?"
"Actually...that's not a bad idea. Then we'd know where they're keeping Jackson, Karen and Linda." Wally considered it. Then discarded it. "But if we're locked in with them, we won't be much help."
"Indeed. I think our best bet right now is to split up." Cho spoke up after tapping a console in the docking bay a few times. "It looks like those battle droids are being deployed below us and that everything above us is dedicated to living personnel. Hartley will be most useful on the upper levels."
"What do you-oh." Hartley felt in his coat pocket for his flute. A weird smile almost crossed his face.
"Does that tell you where the detention cells are?" Wally leaned over Amadeus.
"Three levels up. Find your friends."
"What about you?"
Amadeus pulled out a chocolate bar and took a bite.
"I'm heading down to the droid levels. There is something I need to check on. Keep in touch with your communicators."
Wally blinked.
"You mean, our phones?"
"Yes. Phones." Amadeus nodded as he headed out the nearest door. Hartley looked at Wally and shrugged.
"Here's hoping we don't get killed. Hey, one more thing." Hartley put a hand on Wally's shoulder. "There's something you should know about Jackson before you stage a rescue. It could wind up saving all of your lives."

"Quick! Now's our chance!"
Clawdeen whispered as she and the rest of the Monster High kids darted past the charred remains of the andoids and ducked inside of the ship.
"Eep!" Draculaura gasped. "Oh it's you!"
The kids headed right over to the front of the ship and Ghoulia moved to the pilot's seat and she sat down and promptly started hitting buttons and pulling levers when...
"Don't move."
The MH kids turned around and saw two armed Separatist troopers standing at the ship's entry doors with their rifles aimed right at them. Deuce started to reach for his glasses but one of the troopers barked,
"Don't! We've seen what you do when you take off those glasses freak. Try it and you'll be nothing left but ash. Now, step away from those controls before..."
**THUD!!**
Both of the trooper's heads were cracked together and they slumped down, out cold.
"Achilles!" Frankie called happily as the young Greek grabbed both troopers by their belts and tossed them from the ship.
"Yes." He looked up at everyone. "Is this it? Where are the others?"
"We saw some take off into space." Clawd answered. "The rest are still outside fighting."
Achilles turned back to the door and looked outside. Mysia was bellowing her war trumpet and smashing whatever enemies came under foot.
Achilles shouted at her, "Mysia! Return to the school! Defend it well!"
Mysia trumpeted and turned and started for the school!
