The Mad Queen
Memento Mori. Unus Anus
"It could be because of our location that we can't contact people? Or maybe they are jamming us." Meetra said as she walks with the group. Raising a brown as they mention 'Twitter'.
As she walks towards a community, she notices the odd looks being thrown to the group. After 1812 knocked on the door, Meetra noticed a man looking similar to the Jedi Master she saw earlier. Yet he felt different. "What is Twitter?" Meetra finally asked after it had been mentioned multiple times.
"Twitter is a platform for communicating messages." The Look-alike explained "I don't understand why William would ignore it though."
He continued to try and use the device on the wounded bobby. His eyes opened and he coughed violently
"Ello, ello, ello!" He shouted as he regained consciousness
"It's okay, you're safe now." The look-alike reassured.
"He might not be for long!" One of Kenboni's soldiers shouted "The Prime Minister's a robot an..." He shouted, but was cut off by the look-alike
"I knew that. Everyone here knows that. Then again, I suppose you are from another universe." He said with a shrug
"No!" The soldier snapped "She's got a nuke built into her chest and we have less than two minutes to disarm it or all of London will get turned into glass!"
The look-alike's eyes widened "Two minutes..." He muttered, covering his mouth in horror "I always told her nuclear weapons were a bad idea!" He shouted, shaking his fists
"Hey, um...Still bleeding to death here." A wounded bobby said, slowly raising one of his hands
"Right." The look-alike nodded his head and ran towards him, using the device on him and stopping the bleeding
A portal of silver energy opened on the steps of Downing Street and Ser Dougan stepped out
"Where's the bomb?" He asked
"Inside. The PM's..."
"A robot. I know."
"Am I the only one who didn't know about this!?" The soldier cried, throwing his arms up in the air
"Get Jezza to send another Twitter message out to evacuate London."
"Evacuate?" 1812 asked "There are millions of people in this city and we only have two minutes..."
"If I modify the austerity protocol the nuclear blast should only extend to a mile radius rather than the entire city." Ser Dougan explained grimly
"I'm sorry, who's Jezza?" The same soldier asked
"The Obi Wan Kenobi look-alike!" Dougan yelled
"He looks nothing like Kenboni!"
"Not Kenboni, Kenobi!" Dougan yelled
"Oh, right." He said "C'mon." helping a wounded bobby to his feet
1812 rested a hand on Dougan's shoulder "What do you mean modify the protocol?" She asked
"Look, my father helped design the thing. He was prepared to sacrifice this entire city for the lols should the worst happen. I was afraid this day would come and I've been preparing for it...Look, we don't have the time. The more time we spend talking about this, the more we..."
1812 nodded understandingly and Ser Dougan walked inside, seeing the robotic PM with a ticking timebomb in her chest.
"Winston." He said, activating a holographic image of the scientist ape with the roll of a dice "You're going to need to talk me through this. I have no idea what the feck I'm doing." He said with a chuckle
"Detonation in sixty seconds." The PM said "The amulet must be protected. We are committed to helping the British public."
Winston adjusted his glasses and stared at the device "Okay, start with the..."
Outside of 10 Downing Street Jezza had sent a Tweet telling people to get away from 10 Downing Street. He had to send multiple, as he had run out of characters to explain the situation. He helped two wounded bobbies to their feet, allowing them to lean on him as he carried them to safety.
He glanced back at Number 10 and sighed. He turned to Meetra "Here, take these men to safety. I have to take care of something.
Back in Number 10 sweat poured off of Ser Dougan's brow as he worked on the bomb.
"Detonation in thirty seconds." The PM said "The amulet must be protected. We are committed to helping the British public."
"Yeah, I heard ya the first feckin' twenty feckin' nine times." Dougan complained "Alright, there's the blast radius problem sorted. The nuke should only detonate within the first few hundred feet of here...Shite, that's not enough time."
"Detonation in twenty nine seconds." The PM said "The amulet must be protected. We are committed to helping the British public."
Dougan wiped more sweat away from his brow and continued working on the nuke.
"Okay, first few hundred feet. Good." He smiled, only to punch the ground "Shite! The pensioners!" He shouted "With their bad knees, they'd never be able to make it out in time! Gotta keep working..."
"Dougan, if you keep lowering the blast radius you might not be able to disarm the nuke at all." Winston said in a grim tone "You wouldn't..."
"I know, just help me with this!" Dougan snapped, wiping more sweat away "The...Austerity protocol bomb can't be disarmed! That's why it's a last resort! The least I can do is stop it from turning all of London into glass!"
Winston nodded understandingly.
"Okay..."
Outside, Jezza continued running towards 10 Downing Street, seeing Dougan work on the bomb.
"Detonation in twenty seconds." The PM said "The amulet must be protected. We are committed to helping the British public."
"Ah!" Dougan snapped "Shut yer bake!"
"Ser Dougan!" Jezza shouted, causing Dougan to turn around
"Oh fer feck's sake, Jezza!" He cried "What the hell are ye doing 'ere!?"
"I've been listening in to your conversation with Mr Winston and I can't allow you to sacrifice yourself."
He took a step towards him "Get out of here, Winston can talk me through the rest. With luck, this bomb might only take out Downing Street itself."
"What!? No!?" Dougan cried
"I'm an old man." He said with a shrug "I've lived my time. And I've always been anti-nuclear weapons so going out stopping one from taking out London seems kinda fitting."
"No." Dougan said, turning back around to face the bomb.
Ser Dougan sighed heavily and turned around. He reached behind his back for a D20 dice and rolled it, opening a portal.
"I'm sorry." He said, pushing Jezza through "But this country needs you more than it needs me!"
Falling through a portal in front of a crowd of Londoners escaping from Number 10, Jezza quickly steadied himself only to notice a little girl falling behind. He picked her up in his arms and continued running, tears building in his eyes"C'mon!" He shouted at the crowd "This way!"
A portal opened in front of them, on the other side was the legendary Jedi Master ObiWan Kenboni
ObiWan Kenboni took a step forwards, resting a hand on Jezza's shoulder and giving him a reassuring smile.
"You need not worry." He said, finally speaking for the first time in his life. He sounded like a sassy black woman "I will keep him safe. After all, one day he must know the truth."
"But I-." Jezza snapped but was cut off by Kenboni
"It is as he said, this country will need you when this is over."
Kenboni jumped through the portal right before it closed, grabbing Dougan with the force.
"What are you doing!?" Dougan screamed
ObiWan Kenboni said nothing at first, for when a hero is gone the world will speak for him.
"I love you." He finally said "I always have, ever since the fall of Elmire."
However, ObiWan Kenboni's world was Ser Dougan...And so he refused to see it burn.
"Maybe we'll see Chewbacca." Dougan said tearfully, calling back to a simpler time.
With no other words, Kenboni threw Dougan into a nearby building and towards the nuke. He used what force powers he had left to contain a blast that would have extended towards nearby buildings to Downing Street itself, not allowing the man he loved to get caught in the blast.
Tears rolled down his smiling face as the Austerity protocol bomb consumed him, leaving nothing left of the Jedi Master except for his lightsaber which he used the force to throw towards Dougan as the blast took him.
