Chapter 1. Enter Shadownova!

https://youtu.be/MynpKYmBgxM

The awesome, yellow, and ringed planet of Saturn emerges from a total eclipse, her eighteen moons glowing against the darkness. A tiny silver spacecraft, an MH Blockade Runner firing lasers from the back of the ship, races through space. It is pursed by a giant Plasma Star Destroyer titled the Devastator. Hundreds of deadly laser bolts streak from the Devastator, causing the main solar fin of the Resistance craft to disintegrate.

An explosion rocks the ship as two friends, Mordecai and Rigby, struggle to make their way through the shaking, bouncing passageway. Rigby is a 3-foot-tall raccoon. Mordecai, on the other hand, is a 6-foot-tall, slender blue jay.

Mordecai: Did you hear that? They've shut down the main reactor, dude. We'll be destroyed for sure. This is madness, I tell you!  MADNESS!

Resistance troopers rush past the robots and take up positions in the main passageway. They aim their weapons toward the door.

Mordecai: We're doomed, man!

The Team Plasma craft has easily overtaken the MH Blockade Runner. The smaller Resistance ship is being drawn into the underside dock of the Devastator.

Rigby: Will Sagiri be able to escape?!

Mordecai: There'll be NO escape for Sagiri THIS time.

Rigby: I need to get something.  I'll be right back! (Runs off)

Mordecai: Wait for ME!

The nervous Resistance troopers aim their weapons. Suddenly a tremendous blast opens up a hole in the main passageway and a score of Team Plasma grunts make their way into the smoke-filled corridor. In a few minutes the entire passageway is ablaze with laserfire. The deadly bolts ricochet in wild random patterns creating huge explosions. Team Plasma grunts scatter and duck behind storage lockers. Laser bolts hit several Resistance soldiers who "Wilhelm scream" and stagger through the smoke, holding shattered arms and faces.

Mordecai: I should have known better than to trust the logic of a half-sized scavenger...

Rigby: WATCH IT!  WHO KNOWS?! I MIGHT SAVE YOUR LIFE ONE DAY!

The awesome, seven-foot-tall Dark Lord of the Sith makes his way into the blinding light of the main passageway. This is Shadownova, right hand of Ghetsis, the leader of Team Plasma. Shadownova's face is obscured by his flowing black robes and grotesque breath mask, which stands out next to the fascist white armored suits of the Team Plasma grunts. Everyone instinctively backs away from the imposing warrior and a deathly quiet sweeps through the Resistance troops. Several of the Resistance troops break and run in a frenzied panic.

A woman's hand puts a chip in Rigby's fur. Rigby understands the mission given to him, and runs to Mordecai.

Mordecai: Rigby?!  Where are you?!

A familiar sound attacks Mordecai's attention and he spots Rigby at the end of the hallway in a smoke- filled alcove. A beautiful young girl (about sixteen years old) stands in front of Rigby. This is Sagiri, the princess of the World 1 Senate. Surreal and out of place, dreamlike and half hidden in the smoke, she finishes adjusting something on Rigby's fur, then watches as the raccoon joins his companion.

Mordecai: Dude, where have you been?! (Notices Team Plasma grunts) They're heading in this direction. What are we going to do? We'll be sent to back to Benson!

Rigby: I've got an idea! (Hotwires an escape pod) Mordecai, get in!

On the main viewscreen, the escape pod carrying the two friends speeds away from the stricken Resistance spacecraft.

Rigby: We got the plans!

Mordecai: And got away!

Both:

(Meanwhile, back in the Devastator...)

The evil Shadownova stands amid the broken and twisted bodies of his foes. He grabs a wounded Resistance Officer by the neck as a Team Plasma grunt  rushes up to the Dark Lord.

Team Plasma Grunt: The Death Egg plans are not in the main computer, my Lord.

Shadownova squeezes the neck of the Resistance Officer, who struggles in vain.

Shadownova: Where are those transmissions you intercepted?! (Lifts the Resistance Officer up) What have you done with those plans?!

Resistance Officer: We intercepted no transmissions. Aaah... This is a consular ship. We're on a diplomatic mission.

Shadownova: If this IS a consular ship... where is the Ambassador?!?

The Resistance Officer refuses to speak but eventually cries out as the Dark Lord begins to squeeze the officer's throat, creating a gruesome snapping and choking, until the soldier goes limp. Shadownova tosses the dead soldier against the wall and turns to his troops.

Shadownova: Commander, tear this ship apart until you've found those plans and bring me the Ambassador. I want her ALIVE!

Princess Sagiri is led down a hallway by a squad of Team Plasma grunts. Her hands are bound and she is brutally shoved when she is unable to keep up with the briskly marching troops. They stop in a smoky hallway as Shadownova emerges from the shadows. The sinister Dark Lord stares hard at the frail young senator, but she doesn't move.

Sagiri:  Lord Shadownova, I should have known. Only you could be so bold. The Team Karma Senate will not sit for this, when they hear you've attacked a diplomatic...

Shadownova:  Don't play games with me, Your Highness. You weren't on any mercy mission this time. You passed directly through a restricted system. Several transmissions were beamed to this ship by Resistance spies. I want to know what happened to the plans they sent you.

Sagiri:  I don't know what you're talking about. I'm a member of the Team Karma Senate on a diplomatic mission to World 1...

Shadownova:  You're a part of the Multiversal Heroes... and a traitor. Take her away!

Team Plasma Grunt #1:  Holding her is dangerous. If word of this gets out, it could generate sympathy for the Multiversal Heroes in the senate.

Shadownova: I have traced the Resistance spies to her. Now she is my only link to find their secret base!

Team Plasma Grunt #1: She'll die before she tells you anything.

Shadownova: Leave that to me. Send a distress signal and then inform the senate that all aboard were killed!

A second Team Plasma Grunt approaches Shadownova with a report.

Team Plasma Grunt #2: Lord Shadownova, the Death Egg plans are not aboard this ship! And no transmissions were made. An escape pod was jettisoned during the fighting, but no life forms were aboard.

Shadownova: She must have hidden the plans in the escape pod. Send a detachment down to retrieve them. See to it personally, Commander. There'll be no one to stop us this time.

Team Plasma Grunt #2: Yes, my Lord.
