"Three fifty."
"Per minute?"
"No, per second, you moron, of course per minute!"
"That's nearly cardiac arrest, get me the nanite injection."
"That's on the ship."
"Then get the damn ship!"

Didact groaned. "How do you feel?" ONI Leader asked. "Like crap." Didact groaned. "He'll be alright." ONI Leader said. "But by regulations, we need to take him to the infirmary on his ship and keep him there for a few hours."

Quill walked, followed by his companions behind and found the Xavier's school for the special. "What the?" Quill said as he pressed the buzzer on the gates. A voice came through saying "Hello and welcome. I believe you are Peter Quill. Please come in. Your friends too." The voice was smooth and a bit old. Quill shrugged again and walked inside. After a while a muscular man was waiting for Quill. He looked up and said "Sup, bub. What's your business around here."
"Me and my friends **points at Giratina, Boomer, and Lockehorn** were sent here to check on Prof. X." Quill said. Suddenly, Logan showed his Adamantium claws at Quill. He quickly retracted them and told Quill to follow. Quill and Logan walked into the school.
"DO NOT try and tell me what to do, Celebrian. If aren't going to help, then leave!" Galadriel hissed, turning around and pointing her newly materialized sword at Celebrian.
"You've changed. And not of the better." Celebrian whispered, taken aback by the sudden outburst. "It's the mortals, isn't it? First Arwen. And then my sons. And now you too, mother? I thought you knew better." Her voice was bitter and venomous.
Galadriel chuckled darkly. "I did, once upon a time. But then I met a particular mortal who changed everything. She helped me not because of who I am, but because I needed help. She helped me cope with death and dying. She would help you too, if you gave her the chance."
"Now, Skye and Entei, I shall regale you with a tour of Equestria!" Luna declared.
(Just to be clear, we're all in different dimensions or something like that.)

"Damn. Any way to track 'em?"
"We're ONI, sir. We'll think of something. Now, let's go to the infirmary."

Entei suspected that Skye would benefit from having the wings blades attached to her wings. At least, if they were heat and fire resistant to the point where bringing them to the surface of the sun would not melt them. Which he supposed they weren't. But whatever.
"And these, my friends, are the Lunar Division of the Guard!" Luna decreed, as over a dozen ponies stepped up to greet them with a crisp salute. They were all batponies, Skye noticed. She tilted her head, and they smiled.
"I take it they are nocturnal?" Skye asked.

"Goodbye." Celebrian said, her tone devoid of any emotion. "Until we meet again - and when we do we shall be enemies." Galadriel nodded. "Navaer, Celebrian."
"Navaer, Galadriel." Celebrian turned away and left Lorien. When she was sure nobody could hear, she broke down in sobs. She was losing everyone she loved, one by one. To death. She might as well dis herself.

Quill was amazed at how this huge wooden building was like. He saw several kids run to class to class. But something was off. They weren't human. They were mutants. " Hurry up kid." Logan called as he began to pick up his pace. Logan stopped an opened a door. Inside was a desk made out of wood and behind it lay a bald man on a floating wheel chair.
"Hello Quill. Yes I know who you are. My name is Chalres Xavier." Proff. X said as he closed a book.
"Uh hi. Can Boomer and the others come in please." Quill asked. Charles nodded.
"I know why your here. Galadriel sent you. I can only send for your assistance Logan, who you just met, Storm, Kitty, Cyclops, Colossos, Ice man, and Nightcrawler."
Boomer and Lockehorn entered the room carrying the contract
"How long is it expected to take?" Didact asked. "At this rate? Twenty fours hours at least, probably more." The rookie on the team said. "Twenty four hours?" Didact repeated. "Per signal." Leader added. "Wow." Didact muttered, calculating the overall time in his head. "By that time, they will probably have come back anyway."
"Speaking of alternate dimensions, what were you doing while you were gone, sir?" Rookie asked.
"Err... it was a... how do I put this... unique experience." Didact said. "Permission to speak freely?" Leader asked. "Go ahead." Didact replied. "Can you elaborate on that, sir?" Leader asked.
Didact thought for a moment. "Well, we came out in a mirror shop surrounded by armored ponies who threatened us. A few minutes later, we have an audience with a pony named Luna who was way too cheery. We start talking about a treaty when a spirit horse-"
"Spirit Horse?" Rookie asked. "That was a good book."
"Yeah. Anyway, a spirit horse took over Galadriel. It was annoying as hell, so I got to beat up Galadriel for something she doesn't even remember and got away with it. And that's more than most people can do. Then we made that treaty and signed it. Then something happened and I blacked out." Didact finished.
"You mean you fainted?!" The Rookie laughed. "No." Didact growled. "Something happened."
"Yeah, sure, keep lying to yourself, whatever helps you sleep at night." Leader said. "You know what?" Didact asked. "I frickin' hate ONI. Keep working. See if you can get those signals quicker than twenty four hours each." With that, Didact walked out of the room. Rookie looked over at Leader, who shrugged and started examining the complicated symbols that were displayed on his station's holographic screen.
Meanwhile, Jorge was stuck in a large empty space. This must be a sort of nexus of teleporters that will allow me to travel anywhere in the universe. Either that, or it's the janitor's closet. God, I really need help. he thought to himself, observing the large space.
(Cause I love challenges.)

"Hey look. I came here for you to sign a contract that says that your alliances with Equestria, Pokemons, Oni and Etc. for we may be facing a battle of death. So I may need more men than just that." Quill finished as he gave Proff. X the paper. From the window. A person with a red suit waved at Quill from the window. "Hi stranger!" He called out. Proff. X shook his head. "Go back doing your things, Deadpool." Proff. X shouted. Deadpool frowned and walked away.
Proff. X sighed. He sent Quill outside to wait and called in Jean.
"Well this sucks." Quill said as he watched Boomer on the ceiling nap. Kitty and Bobby(ice man) sat next to Quill. "Hi" Bobby and Kitty called out
Luna nodded, pride clear in her voice. "Correct, dear Skye. These are the members of my royal guard, Nightwing, Obsidian, Nightingale, Umbra, Sombra, Nightshade, Daelas..." And so the names went on, until she had listed all of the guards. "They are sensitive towards light, so being in the sunlight hurts their eyes." Entei tilted his head.
"Are those fangs for show?" He asked suddenly. "Because I would give a lot for any fangs that size."

Didact was outside the Approach, not really doing a lot. He would help the ONI soldiers inside, but they knew what they were doing better than he did. At least, they seemed to. He decided to check on them again and got up to walk back inside the Approach.

(Feel free to try and guess where she got the stuff from)

"Any progress?" Didact asked. "Same as ever." Leader replied. "You guys need anything from the supplies, go right ahead." Didact offered. "I thought you hated us." Leader smirked. "I'm leaving Beowulf with you." Didact said. "Look, now he's cursing us." Rookie moaned sarcastically.

Galadriel stowed the book, the saddle and the blocky torch away in another place. The arakh she strapped to her waist, along with her sword, and the wand she slipped into a holster attached to her arm designed specifically for the object. She took a step back and appeared in front of Didact.

"Woah." Didact said. "We really need to get a bell or something for you, you do that way too often." He muttered. He looked at the items. "Am I allowed to ask? And guys, you can stop working on the third signal."
