Magus sat, alone in a laboratory. Behind a mirror screen sat James Watt, on temporary leave from the Valkyrie, & Platox, chief scientist of the Starfleet research unit. Around Magus were a series of screens, to one side was a multi-level chess board. Magus was himself linked into a stratagema game. Each of the screens flashed up various mathematical, philosophical or other questions. Magus answered these whilst playing both games. Behind the screen Watt looked at Platox.

    Leacock stood anxiously in the centre of Stonehenge, awaiting the arrival of Watt and Sutek with Magus and Singh. The conditions for their passage to the ancient site were severe. They were only allowed to attend under armed guard for the crimes they had committed. The remaining crew members of the Valkyrie were held I confinement. Leacock had pleaded in vain for a pardon but had at least obtained the permission of Starfleet for the attempt to restore Magus’ mind to his body.

Termination Chapter 3

The 24th century. It was almost midnight on the planet Risa. The holiday resort was known for it’s wonderful weather, but on this night, the weather did not seem so wonderful. Electrical storms were not known affect Risa, so this was studied very carefully.

The Valkyrie Chronicles: The Search for Magus Chapter 1

    Six months has passed since the death of Ambassador Magus. The Valkyrie had returned to Earth for repairs, with the entire crew being given shore leave. Watt, Singh and Amarus had gone to Scotland on a touring holiday. All had gone well, until one night Singh had been entrusted with driving their hired vehicle. It had been their original intention to tour the lochs: they had already visited Loch Ness and Holy Loch, and according to their plans they should have been heading to Loch Lomond. When Watt and Amarus stepped awoke the next day and stepped out of the camper it was not Loch Lomond that greeted them. It was a stretch of rocky shoreline, and two miles offshore could be seen a rocky island topped by a gothic castle. It was Craigmillar Island. Watt gazed at Singh.

Sutek walked into the control room, and seated himself at the computer.
    “Computer.” he said. “How many animals are there currently on Jurassica?”

The Valkyrie Chronicles - The Jurassic Incident Chapter 1

    Magus sat in his study at Craigmillar. The room was exactly as it had been for the past five hundred years. When they were not on the Valkyrie Teddy and the others all slept in the chairs which they had slept in for the past half millennium. The only thing that had changed was his butler, for long lived as Monstrons were, Igor had passed away at the end of the twenty first century. Magus was now equipped with a robotic butler, known as Belvedere. Belvedere entered the study.

The Valkyrie Chronicles - The Theophilus War Chapter 8

Captain Watt sat in his ready room, deep in thought. Never before had he been ordered to attack a Federation starship, and never before, had he been ordered to kill a friend. Then, Magus entered.

Magus sat in the Gresley, at the piano, playing Bach’s Goldberg Variations. All around listened intently as his fingers swam nimbly across the keyboard. Then, Pendragon entered.

    The clearing up operation at Heathrow took about an hour and a half. White Knight, Star Man and Fire Master had stayed behind to lend a hand. Cowboy and Running Bear were taken to Scotland Yard for questioning, where the FBI in America would be contacted. Extradition proceedings were expected to start the next morning. The Anglo-Force members took the sky-jet back to the mansion.

    Flight 237 left John F. Kennedy airport in New York, it’s destination, London. To most of the passengers and crew this seemed like a normal routine flight, but to two of the passengers it was going to be their way of getting noticed, of being seen, and perhaps settling a score with an old enemy.

The bridge crew stood, looking around.
    “This is obviously some sort of starship.” said Tompkins, who was sitting at the helm. “And I am obviously the pilot.”

The U.S.S. Valkyrie neared Sector 001, the galaxy known as the Milky Way. The crew were not happy. Morale was somewhat low. They knew that a grave task lay ahead of them.

Anglo-Force: The Alien Chapter 1

    The wreck lay smouldering in the Hertfordshire countryside. For some unexplained reason this aircraft had crashed, and it’s pilot had just barely escaped with his life intact. What was different about this aircraft was that it was not of this planet. This space-craft, or UFO as others would call it, had suffered major instrument malfunction, and it was taken way off-course. The main hatchway blew, and from inside the crashed aircraft what appeared to be a man staggered out. The man looked human in appearance. He looked around. It was bitterly cold. The first snow storm of the winter had fallen two days earlier. It reminded him of his home, except his home was much colder. Then, a red glow appeared around the alien. It was his way of keeping warm, a natural ability that all of his race had developed. It was the only way to keep warm on an ice planet. He looked out into the distance, and he could see some lights, the lights of the nearest town. He decided to journey to that town. Maybe he would find someone who could help him. His ship was a total write off. Only a few things could be salvaged. His radio was shot. He had no was of contacting his own world. He was on this planet, alone, and had no way of returning home.

Anglo-Force: The Telepathic Policeman Chapter 2

    Solo stood before an impressive looking mansion some thirty miles north of London. As he walked up the gravel drive to the house the front door swung open to reveal Toombs, the butler of Dr. Magus. He showed the Inspector into a beautifully furnished drawing room and left. Solo seated himself on the leather sofa and gazed around the room. In many ways it reminded him of Magus’ study at Craigmillar. It had some gothic bookcases, the same huge mahogany desk to one side. As he sat there he heard a voice behind him.

Lohengrin.

Anglo-Force: The Return of Gary Seven Chapter 3

Gary Seven spent the rest of the night trying to find more information about Lewis Anderson. It was now obvious that he was involved in a race riot that fourteen blacks had died in, but was he actually involved in any of the killings? That was still unknown. Now he had two options. He could either present his evidence to Anderson himself, and hope that he would resign, or go to the Prime Minister, Simon Harkes, and hope that he would force Anderson to resign.

The bolt of pure energy shot through space at speeds far greater than the speed of light. It passed through countless galaxies in an instant, passing through thousands of light years in the blink of an eye. Within two minute of leaving it’s departure point it had reached the galaxy it’s inhabitants knew as the Milky Way. Just one second after entering the galaxy it reached it’s destination, the planet Earth. The energy beam shot toward the city of London. As soon as it had entered Earth’s atmosphere the beam became invisible. It weaved it’s way through the streets of London until it found it’s final destination, a building near the Telecom Tower. The beam hit the building. The occupants inside had no idea that any sort of energy had hit their building.

Darkness began to enshroud the encampment of Jabba the Hut. At night time, his fortress seemed like a foreboding place. Lights lined the roof of his fortress and no guards were visible.

Anglo-Force: The Woodwose Incident Chapter 2

On board the orbiting vessel chaos and confusion reigned.
    “What do you mean the device has been destroyed?” boomed Chaney. “Nothing on this planet could destroy that device!”
    “It is the only reason why we have lost contact with is, Colonel. There is no way we can tell what is happening on the surface, whether or not the Wose is still in the grip of the madness.”
    “Then we will have to look for ourselves. Prepare the shuttle craft. Set a course for the last known whereabouts of the device.”
    A few minutes later the shuttle craft was headed for London.

Several hours had passed. The Valkyrie had remained in orbit around Tattooine, staying just far enough out of range of the Imperial Star Destroyer.

Anglo-Force: The Woodwose Incident Chapter 1

The strange alien space-craft arrived in orbit around the planet Earth. The likes of this space-craft had not been seen near the Earth for some six months now. The last one, from the distant planet of Monstron, came to Earth to collect Count Dracula and the Frankenstein monster. This craft was on an entirely different mission.

The Valkyrie Chronicles - Return to the 24th Century Chapter 1

The U.S.S. Valkyrie was in high orbit around the planet Earth, but not the Earth it’s crew knew. The Valkyrie was still in the 20th century, and as they considered their options, they knew their time was running out.

Anglo-Force: Enter Gandalf's Guardians Chapter 2

Watt stood in the main courtyard of the strange castle. He stood watching his new “team-mates”. He stood watching as Mightor and Meteor Man tested their strength against each other, the alien using his growing power to good effect. Gravity Girl using her power to levitate huge objects. Birdman re-charging his power by the sun. Vapour Man and Space Ghost testing their skills against each other. As Watt watched, he noticed a giant shadow appear over him. He looked up to see the giant genie, Shazzan, standing over him.

Magus stood alone at the summit of Mount Vasaria. Closed circuit television cameras beamed the proceedings back to their headquarters. As they watched Magus drew a mystic circle on the bare rock around him, he walked to each corner of the pentagram within and lit a black candle which stood there. He gazed up at the full moon which beamed down upon him. Tonight was not a night for the moon. Magus chanted the Charm of Making. Black clouds swept across the moon until those watching could only see dimly by the light of the flickering candles.

Anglo-Force: The Formation & The Return Of Saruman Chapter 14

Magus’ calculations were off slightly, probably because his mind was on other things. The Warriors had reached the point they were told to go to by Magus. They expected to see hordes of rampaging orcs. Instead, all they saw were footprints. Magician stood over the tracks.

Anglo-Force: The Formation & The Return Of Saruman Chapter 13

On the edge of the galaxy known as the Milky Way, a huge starship entered the star system. The likes of this space vessel would not be seen in this part of the galaxy for at least another hundred years. But this vessel was from a galaxy over a thousand light years away. It had travelled for what seemed like an eternity, It’s destination was the planet Earth. The reason for it’s journey; conflict, to cause death. The inhabitants of this vessel lived for conflict, for war. A war on Earth was about to happen. This pleased them, for they wished to join this war, just for sheer pleasure. They would reach Earth very soon.

A meeting of the United Nations Security Council had been called to discuss the global situation. As was customary, the Iraqi delegation disagreed with every idea the Americans came up with. Many ideas were toyed with. The idea that most of the council agreed with was that forces would be gathered near the Sylvanian-Latvian border. The council voted on this motion. Apart from Iraq, all were in favour of this motion.

Saruman’s diversionary tactic had not worked, but six of the world’s greatest cities had been largely destroyed. All the monsters save Ebirah had been returned to Ogasawa Island. Burns stood in the control room, gazing at the control screens. Then, Magus entered.

Anglo-Force: The Formation & The Return Of Saruman Chapter 9

A lone figure stood on the hills surrounding Loch Shiel. He gazed into the distance, deep in thought. He knew that a great crisis threatened mankind, and he knew that he would have a role to play. But when would he make his entrance? And would it be a major role? Only one man could answer these questions, and that man was Connor McCloud, the Highlander.

Anglo-Force: The Formation & The Return Of Saruman Chapter 8

New York City, 1933. The giant ape-like creature known as Kong had been terrorising the city for five hours. Kong had been brought to America from his home on Skull Island, as some sort of circus sideshow, and to make a lot of money for his captors. It was during his first public viewing that he had escaped and rampaged through the streets of New York. Now, with the beautiful Ann Darrow as his captive, he scaled the Empire State Building, the tallest building in the world. Then, as he neared the summit of the mighty building, four aeroplanes came into view. He gently laid his captive down. The aeroplanes circled the mighty beast, and attacked him with their machine guns. Twice he was hit in the throat with gun fire. As the small bi-planes began to swoop for another attack, something strange happened. It was as if a hole in the sky appeared. Slowly, the hole moved closer to the mighty Kong. The mighty beast was confused. He began to get covered by the huge hole. Slowly, he began to disappear, as if he was being transported to another place. Then the strange portal-like hole enveloped him completely. But as it began to close, one of the small planes flew into it. Then the hole closed up. Both the might Kong, and the small aeroplane were gone.

Anglo-Force’s move to the estate of Arthur Pendragon went very smoothly. Also, good news came from Westminster. The Anglo-Force bill was about to get it’s second reading.
    When they moved into the estate, they modified Pendragon’s gym for their own needs. A few days after they finished the modifications, Mr. X and Star Man were conducting training sessions for their protégés, Axe Kid and Lightning Kid. As they watched them testing their skills, Magus joined them.

Anglo-Force: The Formation & The Return Of Saruman Chapter 5

The night passed. At his Kensington flat, Watt was getting up. He walked into his living room and drew back the curtains. It was a bright and sunny day. He was about to walk into the kitchen when he heard a familiar beeping noise. He went over to his coffee table and picked up a small object. It was a transmitter given to him by Mr. X, so he could be contacted in an emergency. It contained a small screen. Watt turned it on, to see Chameleon on the screen.

Anglo-Force: The Formation & The Return Of Saruman Chapter 4

A few days had passed since the battle with the Black Squadron. They met regularly at the shelter, but it was not to their liking.
    “It’s no good.” said Chameleon. “This place was okay for the cavourite operation, but as a permanent HQ, it sucks!”

The cloaked figure of Dr. Magus stood atop a mountain in Scotland, staring into the sky. He seemed to be looking at nothing, but everything. Slowly, he vanished.

Anglo-Force: The Formation & The Return Of Saruman Chapter 2

In a strange castle, on a small island north of the Scottish coast, the old man that had been seen often around London recently sat in a massive library. It looked as if there were millions of  books lining the walls. He sat at his huge desk in ponderous silence.

    "The pieces are starting to fall into place.", he mused. "Inspector Solo, with my help, has gathered the forces he needs. Now all I can do is wait for a suitable time to make my entrance, to return to the world."

Anglo-Force: The Formation & The Return Of Saruman Chapter 1

The year was 1999, the last year of the twentieth century. In the last decade, things had changed quite dramatically. Ever since the Eugenics War, seven years previously, relations between some countries had weakened, while some had strengthened.
