Harem In The Intergalactic Apocalypse-Chapter 124 Getting Ready For The Battle For Earth
"Let me see the Head Nanobot. I need to scan it so I can figure out the best way to get us back to earth! God, I still don't get how you got us so far!" I complained.
I was sure that the head Nanobot had been the Hive Queen all along. Even if she tried to fight me with her entire body, I would just keep interrupting her, and I would get to it eventually.
"I can't just give you that! You were out for fourteen hours, and I was constantly accelerating; not my fault I was programmed to do that!" Octavia complained as a strange-looking female body crystallized before me.
"Don't give me lip, woman! Just give me the Nanobot, and I will be careful with it. I know that you are the Nanobot, which is in this body's chest. Give it, or I will take it. I don't have time for this," I said, sticking out my hand.
"Fine! But you need to be careful with me!" Octavia complained, and her form dispersed, leaving the single Nanobot I could see clearly. f𝑟𝑒ewe𝚋𝚗૦𝐯e𝘭.c𝗼𝓂
My eyes auto-focused on anything I looked at, allowing me to slowly put my hand under the microscopic robot. Tendrils rose from my hand and isolated Octavia, pulling her into my hand as my body started to scan her form.
Instantly, the ship started to change, and my view jumped outside of the ship. I took control of the trillions of Systeminium Nanobots that made up the spherical ship, which shrunk to half the size.
The ship's shape morphed into a teardrop, and I targeted the earth, accelerating as fast as possible. Once we reached earth, I would disperse the ship into smaller pieces to slow down and reform.
Everything was in place, but it would take six hours to make it back. That was going to push into the strike time, meaning the girls would have to fight, but they would be fine.
I had faith in them all.
I pulled myself back into my body and opened my eyes to a massive dojo like the one I had made for Marley, but much more extensive. There was light on the paper walls and a slight breeze running through the open air.
"I will create a body for you to use for now," I said as I reached out my hand.
I didn't have an exact idea of who I wanted Octavia to look like, but the Blood Queen popped in my head for some reason. The body of Octavia Blake from The 100 crystalized in front of me with black hair and a wild and confused look on her face.
"What is this? How are you able to do all these things?! You just scanned me, and then you completely changed the ship to make it smaller and much faster! Even this body is much greater than anything I could have created!" Octavia exclaimed as she touched her face, rubbing her hands all over it.
"Hey, focus! You can ask all your questions once my family is safe. Until then, you will teach me everything I need to know about controlling the Nanobots," I ordered, and Octavia flinched with a confused look.
"Teach? Did you just not hear me? You are much better at using abilities I spent seven million years using! What am I going to teach you?" Octavia asked in confusion.
"There are things that I don't know yet, and I want to know what I can do with this. We have six hours to get ready before we land, and you are going to teach me to be able to master this body," I said, looking at my hand, opening it, and closing it.
I would make sure that they knew I was coming, but for now, I needed to concentrate on getting complete control.

[2 hours before Villains first contact with Great Forest]
[6 hours until Daniel reaches earth]
"The first group has forty, and the others are starting to fan out! I expect they will try to surround us and attack from all sides after the initial strike!" Orphus called out.
"That's fine! The girls are taking the Mega-Me's out to the main interception points we have projected. We also have over three hundred super clones manned by volunteers, but they are green and will most likely die. Not a big loss, but we should have been preparing for this," Sofia grumbled and then took a deep pull of her smoke.
"Nothing that we could have predicted. We had assumed that we would at least have a week to start getting things ready, but we couldn't pass up this chance. Daniel will win, so we just need to hold. If we succeed here, the war will be over, and Daniel will be able to hunt down the rest of the AI. Then we can go back to what we were doing before," Gaia said as she sat in a chair that she was grown into, fully connected with Mr. Tree.
"That is the plan, but I am honestly curious to see how many can even get by you. Between you and what Katie is out there doing, it sounds like a bad day to be a Villain," Sofia chuckled, and Gaia smiled.
"I will make sure to stop as many as possible, but there will be some more powerful ones mixed in. We are going to have to watch out for them. We have to make sure that no one gets into the cities," Gaia explained, but Orphus turned on the two of them.
"No! The most important thing is to keep you ten girls safe! That, above all else, is the most important task we have! Daniel will never be able to live with himself if he loses one of you! We have escape plans in case things start getting bad!" Orphus stated, and the girls both nodded.
They knew Daniel cared about them, but the main girls were some of the most powerful and needed to fight. Both girls knew they couldn't afford to leave Melody or Katie out of the fight.
"We don't plan on dying, but we will not sit by and watch these Villains kill off friends and family. Daniel wouldn't stand for that. This is a fight for our world, Orphus, and we will give it all we have until Daniel gets back here to save us all. This is what he entrusted to us when he went to fight," Sofia declared, and Orphus rubbed a hand over his face.
Daniel would kill him if anything happened to the girls, but he would be out on the battlefield helping. All the girls were doing things to get ready, so he would start as well.
"Alright. I could tell you this until I was blue, but be careful. I am going to merge with the... What is this thing called?" Orphus asked as he pulled up a five-headed monster.
"Hydrazord! It's a five-headed monster that grows back its heads. Pretty basic monster design, but not something a normal human could control along with all the heads. On the other hand, you might be somewhat normal in that body, but your mind is still the AI, so this would be easy for you," Sofia said, and Orphus rolled his eyes.
"Sure, just let me split myself five ways, no, wait, make it six! Someone has to make this damn thing walk!" Orphus growled as he walked into the side of the tree, absorbing into it, grumbling.
"He complains a lot, but he turned out to be not that bad. I wonder if there will be others like him?" Sofia mused, turning back to look at Gaia, and she shrugged.
"Hard to say, but I think there will be more bad than good. If there were more like Firaga and him, they would have found a way to stop everyone by now," Gaia said, and Sofia nodded with a sigh.
"I guess you're right, but I would like to think they might be able to change one day. I am sure there will be some that will never be able to, but we will see. It feels kind of stupid to be even worrying about them. I should just want them all to die for everything they had done, but I have a hard time hating ones like Orphus and Firaga," Sofia said with a sigh as she turned back to look at the overview of a ten thousand-square mile section centered on them.
Hundreds of Villains are coming, and so far, the numbers were at over five hundred. This would be a hard fight, but Katie was out with Marley, helping turn the forest into a dungeon.
"For now, we just need to focus on getting ready. We have only two hours left until the first contact, so we should send three Mega-Me, and that should be more than enough," Gaia said, and Sofia nodded without turning around as she began to figure out where she could start placing her new special projects.
