The Doctor and his team had finally made contact with the Impossibles, however this meeting had not gone to plan.
Instead of it being a pleasant conversation resulting with the Impossibles agreeing to help and Doctor on his quest to save his companion Jamie from the Clutches of the Evil Grand Master, it had ended up with the young Impossibles in conflict with them.
The Doctor was still laying on the Green couch that he had landed on when Jack had pushed him out of harms way a few minutes before. Still a little bewildered , the Doctor had finally managed to stand up and had done his best to tidy himself.
He knew looked like a mess, but as he tried smoothed his ruffled hair . Then he looked around the room in horror as he witnessed his friends fighting the very people he wanted to recruit. He took off his ruined neck scarf and started waving it in an attempt to catch everyone's attention, but this did not seem to work.
He watched on as Jack was being rained on by Fluid Man. Jack was doing his best to beat back the water with his Katanna , but it had little effect. Maybe turning the trusty blade back into the Umbrella would be a better idea thought the Doctor.
Coil Man was fighting with Reggie, both seemed equally matched. They were bouncing off of the walls with great vigor, but Reggie had managed to grab a hold of his springy sparing partner by sinking his teeth into Coil Mans boot whilst bouncing his head up and down on the carpet.
"No Biting !" the Doctor shouted to Reggie, but Wonder Mutt appeared not to hear.
Phooey was now getting the hang of fighting the many duplicates of Multi Man. They all seemed to have the same fighting skills. Basically they had little if no tactics, but there was so many of them. They confronted Phooey in pairs. Phooey had finally found Multi Mans weak spot, and if Phooey hit it with one of his Hong Kong Phooey Chops, the Duplicate exploded into dust. However, for every one Phooey dispatched another one seemed to replace it. Their numbers would in time wear down Phooey.
If he could find the "Real" Multi Man in this crowd of Duplicates maybe he could have a chance of knocking him out and finishing the fight.... But which Multi Man was the real Multi Man ? Phooey pondered.
The Doctor realized it was down to him to finish this pointless conflict before some one got badly injured. Throwing down the Red Scarf, The Doctor tore open his Chefs jacket he was wearing. Underneath he was still wearing his own clothes.
He rummaged in on of his jacket pockets, finding what he wanted he pulled it out.
This had worked before, maybe it would work again. From his pocket he drew his Blue Stripey Recorder. The same one he had used back in the Halls of Justice when conflict had arisen with The Wonder Twins, himself, Space Ghost and The Blue Falcon.
Moving further into the centre of room the Doctor placed the recorder to his lips and started to blow. It was the same Gallifreyian Nursery Rhyme he had played before. At the same time he bobbed up and down in time with the music, trying to distract everyone. As the merry tune rang out one by one every one started to smile and laugh. Then everyone stopped fighting they all looked towards the Doctor, who was by now dancing a little jig and leaping about like a crazy person. It looked like the Doctors tactics had worked.
The fighting was over, and it was replaced by howls of laughed from not just the 3 Impossibles, but the Doctors team too. Even Jack smiled, and that was a rare thing for him to do indeed.
Then Multi Man approached the Doctor accompanied by the other 2 Impossibles, and were quickly followed by Phooey, Reggie and Jack. The Doctor stopped playing .. he cleared his throat and then spoke.
"Now before I reintroduce myself and my colleges I want to apologize for any misunderstanding that lead to that unnecessary out break of fisty - cuffs just now. " the Doctor said looking down slightly embarrassed. He replaced his recorder back inside his jacket and sighed.
As Phooey, Jack and Reggie joined the Doctor the three friends embraced each other. Then the Doctor continued " As I have already told Mr Fluid Man, my name is the Doctor, and I have come here today to ask for your help, not fight with you. In return for your assistance , I or should I say WE would like to help you in anyway we can with your investigations of the strange things that have been happening here in San Francisco. These are my friends, Penry, Reggie and Jack and I am sure I can say on their behalf they are sorry if they have hurt you in any manner"
Jack looked over at the Doctor and nodded his approval whilst Phooey and Reggie smiled at the Impossibles.
Then then Doctor explained all about the Grand Master and that he was putting together a team of heroes that could match the one the Team of Evil Doers that the Elder of the Universe had himself formed. The Doctor told them about his friend Jamie, and about the threat that all of their worlds were at risk of destruction if he did not take part in this so called Game. He said he had so far amassed 8 people to help him. Most of who were back at his base of operations. He did not included Jan & Jace as they had only been made part of the group due their involvement with The Space Ghost.
He introduced the part of his group he had brought with him, but did not give much information other than their names were Penry, Jack and Reggie.
The Doctor had decided not to tell them that Samurai Jack was a Japanese Warrior from the ancient past. As for telling them that Hong Kong Phooey was a walking talking Dog and part time Super Hero that would raise too many questions. And as for what Wonder Mutt, and how he came to be was would take take far too long. ....And how could he start to explain that they had all come from very different time periods and from different versions of Earth and different Universes. The Doctor thought that The Whys ? and How ? questions would take too long for him to explain at this time. The right time would be back at the Tardis when they got to meet the rest of the team.
The Doctor said he knew why the Band were in San Francisco. He said as he had discovered with the help of some of the other members of his team back at his base, that over the last few weeks and months many strange events had occurred, that had included sightings of people dressed as if they were from another time and place. Unexplained robberies of valuable items from Museums. He said he even knew about the Dinosaur that had been spotted down by the Bay. He explained that maybe they did not realize that Time Travel was possible, and used properly could be used for good and exploration. To learn things, to see marvels of past times. Learn things, and gain knowledge.
However, The Doctor believed that what was happening in San Francisco was something worse and more sinister. Was someone or some body manipulating events for their own cause. Bringing any being from the Past into the Future was never a positive thing, or good idea. At present the Doctor said did not know the reason why anyone would be doing this, but he told the Impossibles this should not be allowed to continue. The Doctor then pulled out a piece of paper from his jacket, unfolded it and showed the Impossibles a copy of the front page of what would be Tomorrows local Newspaper . This detailed about a Robbery that would happen during their concert at Candle Stick Park tonight. The Robbery by a Cowboy called Johnny Ringo, The Impossibles took the paper, they knew the newspaper well, it looked real enough..... but was this true ? But after the events of today in the Hotel Suite just now, all of them now knew anything was not Impossible.
The Impossibles asked if they could have a few minutes to discuss among themselves what the Doctor had told them.
They walked to the far corner of the room, and after about two minutes the three turned and smiled and announced they would indeed help the Doctor on his mission. " Rally Ho" they all shouted they all shouted in unison. Fluid Man handed the Newspaper page back to the Doctor,
Fluid Man who seemed to be the spokesman of the group then said " Ok Doctor, what should we do first ?"
The Doctor smiled " Well dear boy, I think we should tidy up all the mess in the room" he announced.
They all looked around the room at the mess their little fracas had caused. Chairs had been tipped over. Pictures had falling off of the walls. The carpets were soaking wet and covered in dust from Multi Mans duplicates . There was foot prints and scuff marks on the ceiling, caused by Reggie battling with Coil Man. The room looked like a Bomb had gone off in it.
"Yes, I know that some Rock and Roll Bands make a living out of trashing hotel rooms" said Multi Man
"But our fans expect better from us" Chipped in Coil Man.
Looking at all the persons within the room, it was clear to The Doctor that some had fared better than others. . Fluid Man looked as fresh as he had done before powering up, as did Multi Man as he had not actually taken on any of fighting himself. Only his duplicates had been hurt. As for Coil Man, he looked a bit of a mess, after taking on the Mechanical Dog Reggie aka Wonder Mutt. One of his boots had been completely ruined due to a Reggie biting into it, and he had scratch to his face and body. The Doctor realized that Reggie was a formidable fighter and should not be under estimated.
Both Samurai Jack and Wonder Mutt although wet looked fine. However Jacks wig looked a little bit damp and would need some attention. The Doctor noted he had also lost his sunglasses. Hong Hong Phooey Bell Boys Uniform was ripped and torn and the Doctor Chefs uniform looked like it had seen better days. Both him and Phooey had also lost their head wear in all of the commotion. But that did not matter.
First the Doctor said they all needed to tidy the Room, then they could look at making themselves more presentable. Plus this group task would hopefully help both teams bond and get to know each other.
"Alright, let get started " said the Doctor chapping his hands together.
Next time your will find out more about the Impossibles.
Until then ENJOY !
