During the brief fight with the Jem’Hadar, The Goddess slipped away. His face hidden behind the mask, there was no telling
just how mad Darth Vader was. It seemed as if he would take out his anger on Worf for trying to stop the interrogation but
he simply moved to inspect the computers in which The Goddess had been working at.
“You’re not gonna put Worf down?” Black Manta asked.
“No.” Vader answered. “He can still be useful.”
“I doubt he’ll work with us anymore.”
“I would imagine not. He has already gone. To return to the others, I assume. Let them continue playing this game. We have
more important work to do.”

A small group of Jem ‘Hadar was all that Dr. Doom, Shockwave and Ravage encountered. It was a simple matter eliminating
them.
“I think we should interface with the computer.” Doom suggested. “There is still much to learn.”
“You are suggesting that I or Ravage do it.” Shockwave called him out. “Your armor seems adequate for the task.”
“I suggested nothing.” Doom turned his back on them. “I simply sought to inform you of what I was doing.”
He touched his glove to the computer terminal. A digital interface gave him access to much more data than physically
working terminals.
“Others are seeking to outmaneuver us.” Doom informed his colleagues as that data began to filter through.
A hologram of Skeletor appeared. “This one is reported to have accepted a mission.”
“We should go there.” Ravage said anxiously.
“Negative.” Shockwave shot down the idea. “That would be ‘playing the game’.”
“My thoughts exactly.” Doom nodded. “I am more interested in them.” The image of Imhotep and the Dragon Emperor Han,
appeared.
“They have embarked on a quest to find out who is behind this. A much more worthy objective.
“However. This one has made the most progress.” An image of Darth Vader came up. “He has found a woman who knows the
reason behind our situation. I propose we relieve this man of her and extract all that she knows.”
Shockwave gave his thoughts. “Problem: A full on assault would draw too much attention. Solution: a covert operation would
more efficiently achieve the desired goal. Strategy: send Ravage to eliminate Vader and his accomplices. Unless the
parameters of his skill set have been altered in the future, this is his specialty.”
The panther head of Ravage’s Beast Wars configuration smiled. “It has not. They will be dead within the hour.”

Black Manta was determined to find the water. His armor had a special sensor to tell him when bodies of H2O were nearby.
His heart leaped when he found a sort of well, leading to a vast ocean.
He went for a swim, for pleasure as much as to check the composition of the water. It was pure.
Emerging from the well, Black Manta had a funny feeling he was not alone. There was no one visible, but he hadn’t survived
so much danger ignoring his instincts.
Standing still, he noticed a red targeting laser settling on his person. That could only mean one thing. Having seen some very
fast people he knew that was wasn’t fast enough to dodge a projectile. His armor was strong enough to withstand most
bullets but who knew what sort or ray gun might be pointing at him right now.
If he was about to get taken out, he would be blasting. The huge eye-sockets of his manta ray-shaped helmet glowed red and
fired their powerful laser beams. He destroyed walls and equipment, but no sign of hitting an assassin.
When he paused to check his work, a deep laughter echoed.
“You’re panicking. I will give you the courtesy of seeing your killer.”
A robot who had apparently been invisible appeared a few feet away.
“Now you’ve messed up.” Black Manta set all of his targeting computers on Ravage. “Should have taken the shot when you
had it.”
Fight Parameters
Black Manta vs. Ravage
Straight up fight.
There is a well nearby leading to large ocean.
Ravage is in his Beast Wars incarnation. Despite what was shown in the cartoon, his beast mode is still a black panther and that applies in this battle.
