Taylor and the Chaos Gacha Part 19 (Patreon)

"You're enjoying this way too much," Vicky grumbled good naturedly as she finished stripping out of her clothes in Taylor's living room.
"You're the one that insisted on coming for the challenge," Taylor replied with a grin as she wrapped an arm around Amy who was sitting in her lap.
"That's because the paparazzi are driving me crazy," Vicky grumbled, still annoyed that they'd basically camped out at her house trying to get a story out of Amy.
"What were you expecting?" Victoria asked as she walked around the back of the couch and placed her hand on Taylor's shoulder so that she wouldn't be left behind.
"A bit of sanity?" Vicky asked as she stepped closer and set her hand on Taylor's arm that wasn't wrapped around her sister.
"All out," Claire teased.
"It's not rocket science," Amelia argued. "Amy's an open cape and she took out one of the Nine, they figure there's a story there."
"Not to mention we haven't exactly been quiet about our new powers," Claire offered.
"Except to the press," Valerie said as she floated over and placed her hand on Taylor's other shoulder. "No comment’ is like tossing a gallon of blood in the water to those guys."
"That's because there's a story there and they know it," Taylor replied as she checked to make sure everyone was touching her. She tapped the icon for the Challenge DLC, bringing up a new window and causing everyone to freeze. 'Please pick one of the challenge options, you will be transported to the proper location and time to complete the challenge. If you successfully complete the challenge, you'll be rewarded with an appropriate reward. Due to rules and regulations, if you don't pick something and you close the page, it counts as skipping the challenge.
Trouble in the sand, save the girls from raiders. (Group Mission)
My Precious, Steal from a Goblin. (Group Mission)
Kill God, Bonus Points for Every Angel You Kill (Group Mission)'
'Nope, not a chance in hell,' Taylor decided as she focused on the first two options. 'I'm not killing a god or stealing the One Ring.' She selected the Trouble in the sand challenge and found herself a rocky outcrop looking down at a group of domed tents or houses. "We need to save a girl from raiders."
"Telepathy for the win…" Amy trailed off as she reached out with Telepathy and caught the thoughts of some of the raiders that were torturing a woman and preparing to do less than pleasant things to a girl they'd captured. "Stun everyone that isn't obviously a prisoner!" she ordered as she jumped off the ledge and flew toward the camp to rescue the innocents.
Valerie winced when she used her Telepathy and 'saw' what some of them were planning on doing to the girls they'd found. "It's clobbering time!"
Taylor jumped off the ledge and flew down to the camp where her friends were already stunning the aliens. She raised her hand and tossed a stunner at something that was probably an alien child, causing it to fall to the ground. She turned and stunned the robed alien that was taking shots at her with some type of gun that she didn't recognize.
Victoria grabbed one of the robed raiders by his arm and yanked him in the way of the two raiders that were trying to kill her. She tossed the alien's corpse at the raiders then followed it up by two stunners to make sure they stayed down.
Amy rushed forward and back handed the raider that was blocking the entrance to one of the domed tents, sending the would-be rapist through the air to crumple on the ground thirty feet away. She lunged forward and punched the other raider in the head, causing his jaw to shatter with the force of the strike and sending him crashing through the back of the tent. She turned her attention to the middle aged woman tied to some sort of rack and healed her with the healing ability that Taylor had given her so that she didn't have to touch her and get a list of her extensive injuries.
She glanced between the red haired girl in her late teens that was sprawled on the ground with a nasty looking bruise on her forehead and the blonde teenager using her as a pillow. 'Dress shirt, no pants and a white t-shirt and red panties, not exactly what I'd want to be wearing in a desert,' she mused as she healed both of the girls.
The blonde girl yawned then glanced around. "Where am I?"
"You were kidnapped by raiders, what's the last thing you remember?" Amy asked her.
The girl yawned as she tried to recall her last actual coherent memory. "I was drinking with Lobo and then my cousin started complaining about me drinking too much then there was a girl at the bar."
"That one?" Amy asked as she pointed at the red haired girl.
"Yep," the blonde agreed as she sat up.
"Where are we?" the redhead asked as she looked around the strange tent.
"Good question," the blonde replied. "I'm Kara, you're…"
"The girl you slept with, ringing any bells?" the red haired girl teased.
"I'm not sure you actually introduced yourself, I remember something about you pulling me onto the dance floor and then making it back to your room but everything got a bit blurry after that," Kara admitted.
"Sorry, I'm MJ," Mary Jane offered. "I was a bit tipsy and I didn't realize how drunk you were."
"I'm not," Kara assured her as a young man dressed in black with an energy sword stepped through a damaged section of the dome. "Trouble?"
Anakin glanced at the two lightly dressed girls then focused on his mother, reaching out with the force. "Mom?"
"Ani?" Shmi Skywalker asked, surprised that her son was there. "What's going on?"
"I came to rescue you," Anakin told her, relieved to find her safe and in surprisingly good health.
"Is that a lightsaber?" MJ asked in disbelief.
"Yes?" Anakin replied as he turned it off, getting the feeling that he wouldn't need it.
MJ glanced down at the sling ring on her hand. "Shit."
"We're not on Earth, are we?" Kara asked, remembering something about following the crazy girl through a portal before having more sex in a desert and passing out.
"Earth?" Anakin asked. "As in dirt?"
"That's the name of our planet," Amy offered, wondering if they'd gotten dropped in Star Wars since the plasma sword looked suspiciously like a lightsaber. "Where are we?"
"Tatooine," Anakin offered.
"We need to leave before the raiders get here," Shmi warned them.
"Already taken care of," Vicky offered from the entrance.
"Damn," MJ mused as she looked at the attractive and naked blonde.
"Did you lose your clothes?" Kara asked.
"No, my friend has a weird power to jump dimensions and she gets extra rewards if we do the entire mission naked," Vicky explained.
"And you believed her?" MJ asked with amusement.
Vicky rolled her eyes. "I'm fairly sure she's telling the truth."
"Taylor wouldn't lie about that," Amy assured them. "What are we supposed to do with the raiders?"
Shmi shivered as they heard people screaming in agony outside. "Are your friends okay?"
"We should check," Amy said.
Taylor pulled her attention off the would-be rapists that she'd just beat to shit with Telekinesis when they charged her with knives after she'd shattered their guns and glared at the surviving women and children. "If you don't want me to come back and kill your entire species, you will stop attacking and kidnapping people to torture. This hasn't been your world in over a thousand years, you lost, get over it. You don't have a right to take pot shots at a bunch of children pod racing or harass the people living here because your insane religion doesn't consider them people. If you continue attacking people, I'll come back and I'll kill you and your entire culture will be forgotten," she told them, using her Telepathy to make sure they understood the message and that it sank in so they couldn't just blame it on outsiders attacking their men for no reason and continue the cycle.
"We should go," Anakin suggested, knowing he might snap if he stayed, not sure what the right choice was here since the guilty had been punished. 'Relax, Mom is alive and the vision didn't come true, walk away,' he told himself, trying to let go of the anger and fear.
"Do you know how to get back to Earth?" Kara asked MJ.
"Probably but this is only the third time I've opened a portal to an alien world, I usually just go to other dimensions so it might take a couple of tries to get to the right world," MJ admitted.
"You're welcome to stay with me until you figure it out," Shmi offered.
"Thank you," MJ told her. "Where are we going?"
"I have a speeder but it will only take one or two extra people," Anakin admitted.
"That's fine, some of us can fly," Vicky said as she floated off the ground.
"Neat trick," Kara said as she floated off the ground.
"Cheater," MJ grumbled good naturedly.
Anakin stared at the girls that were hovering over the sand, surprised since they didn't feel like Jedi. "How are you doing that?"
"I don't understand the method, it's just a power," Vicky explained.
"I'm basically a solar battery," Kara offered.
"Huh," Taylor muttered when she caught Anakin's name in his mother's head and connected the pieces. "You're Anakin Skywalker?"
"Yes? Do I know you?" Anakin asked.
"No but we've heard stories, you're a Jedi, right?" Taylor asked.
"I haven't taken my trials yet so I'm just a padawan," Anakin explained as he started walking toward his speeder. "Why were you here?"
"Weird luck," Taylor replied as they followed the future Jedi. "One of my powers basically sends me to various dimensions where I get to help people."
"One of your powers?" Anakin asked.
"I have a list," Taylor replied as she conjured a ball of fire over her hand. "Speaking of powers, do you want the ability to fly under your own power?"
"Absolutely," Anakin replied without hesitation.
"Can I have the ability to fly?" MJ asked hopefully. "I have to get around using my boyfriend's webslingers."
"Sure," Taylor agreed as she used her Clone Split ability to make a clone of herself.
"Webslinging? Wouldn't that rip your arm out of its socket?" Amy asked.
"I have low end superhuman speed, strength, agility and endurance," MJ explained.
"How did you get that?" Claire asked.
"I friend of my mine traded a vial of super soldier formula for the right to fuck my boyfriend whenever she's in town," MJ explained.
"That's not a bad deal, do you get to watch?" Amelia asked.
"Ignore her," Amy suggested.
"It's fine," MJ replied with a grin. "Now and then. As part of that, he doesn't complain about my girlfriends and he's always really enthusiastic afterwards so it's not a bad deal considering having the powers kept me alive at least five times over the last couple of years."
"Sounds complicated," Valerie said.
MJ shrugged. "Felicia is a bit weird and Peter is a sweetheart so we make it work."
"Is that a temporary clone or permanent?" Kara asked, wondering what it would be like to have a twin.
"I'm a temporary clone, we basically share a mind, so we're not really losing anything when I vanish but we can permanently copy people as well," Taylor's clone said.
"We have the original's memories until the point we're copied," Claire offered.
"Why did you make a clone?" Shmi asked as they made their way toward the speeder bike that Anakin had stashed.
"Because our ability to share powers has a couple of limits, it temporarily weakens my powers and using a clone lets me basically avoid that," the clone explained as she used her Transform ability to copy Taylor and pick up copies of her powers. She used her Budding ability to give Shmi, Anakin and MJ copies of Amy's Sparkle Shield so they'd be able to fly and have a force field then focused on Kara. "The Flight ability comes with a Force Field and what basically amounts to enhanced strength, do you want it?"
"Does it work on radiation?" Kara asked thoughtfully.
"Yes," Vicky told her.
"Sunlight?" Kara asked, wanting to make sure it didn't affect her powers.
"It's adjustable, I can get lightly tanned but I don't burn," Vicky offered.
"In that case sure," Kara replied, looking forward to seeing Luthor's face the next time he tried to use Kryptonite on her.
Taylor's clone gave Kara a copy of the shield then gave the new people Lesser Hydrokinesis and a copy of the mental defense aspect of her Sisyphean trait. 'That should help Anakin deal with the emotional feedback of the force and the heroes from mind control.'
Taylor used her Mystic Eyes of Purity on Anakin, taking care of a bucket full of mental trauma from growing up as a slave and from dealing with the Jedi Order and snapped the twisted bond that Palpatine had managed to create that he was using to influence him. She repeated the process on the rest of the group, figuring it wouldn't hurt.
Taylor's clone gave the new people copies of her Inventory trait, figuring it would come in handy. "I gave everyone a copy of Amy's Sparkle Shield, Lesser Hydrokinesis which should let you create water and manipulate it and a dimensional storage ability that should make traveling easier. Do you want the ability to clone yourselves temporarily?"
"Yes," Kara agreed, looking forward to having Kara and Supergirl seen in the same place to mess with some people without having to ask Megan, especially her cousin.
"Sounds fun," Anakin agreed, figuring it would be interesting to be able to spar against himself.
"Absolutely," MJ agreed, thinking about how much easier having a clone would make being a hero and double teaming her boyfriend.
Shmi shook her head. "I'm not sure I'll get much use out of it other than getting my chores done twice as fast but I'll take it."
"Okay." Taylor's clone gave the new people the Clone Split ability. "Your clone will be a bit weaker…" she trailed off as she realized she had a solution. "Actually, give me a second and I can probably fix that."
"How?" Kara asked as they reached the speederbike.
"Enchanting," Taylor replied as she used her Metallurge power to create four silver rings. She focused on her Wrath of Flesh curse and enchanted one of the rings to duplicate it. "Wearing this will basically lock your physical abilities, they can't get better but they can't get worse which means you won't have to pay the usual cost for the clone which basically drops your physical abilities by half per clone."
"That would be great," Kara agreed. "We'd just have to be careful not to use it while exercising and recovering."
Anakin flipped the mental switch in his head and floated off the ground. "This feels weird."
"Good weird or just weird?" MJ asked as she floated off the ground.
"Yes," Anakin agreed with a smile. "Do you think you can come back and give the ability to Padme? She's one of the few honest senators I know and she's already faced a couple of assassins."
"Not a problem," Taylor replied as she started making a second 'cursed' ring, not seeing a problem giving Padme a couple of powers that would make her life a lot easier.
Taylor's clone focused on MJ. "Can I copy your powers to Anakin and his mother?"
"Absolutely," MJ replied with a grin, not seeing a problem with spreading her powers around.
Taylor finished making the third ring then used her Mimic ability on MJ, temporarily picking up copies of her powers. "Huh, you also have pretty decent night vision."
"It came with the serum, there's a reason they call Felicia the Black Cat and it's not just because of her luck ability," MJ explained. "Pete is going to be sad that he missed this."
"We can go back from anywhere, so if you get the portal working, we could swing by," Amelia assured them, not seeing a problem taking a detour and getting a way to visit another world.
"That would be fantastic," MJ replied with a smile, extremely happy about the idea of Peter having a Forcefield and some extra abilities.
"Let's grab the speeder and fly," Vicky suggested. "The more we practice the more the power should settle which means we'll be able to give people a couple of powers."
"Sounds good," Anakin agreed, wanting Padme and his mother safe.

Taylor glanced away from where Anakin and Padme were flying around in the air playing tag and focused on Amy when she walked out of the house. "How did it go?"
"He had more than enough biomass to regrow his leg and to fix his heart, he'll be fine," Amy replied as she turned her attention to the people flying around the yard. "Should we tell him about the chancellor?"
"Would they believe us?" Taylor asked as she used her Call to Arms ability, summoning a temporary spider familiar that was about the size of a quarter. "Hello?"
Amy turned and looked at the red and blue spider.
Taylor's clone used her Transform ability on the spider, changing into a matching spider, trying to figure out what it could do.
"Okay, that's sort of interesting, it's basically a copy of the spider that bit Spiderman in one of the movies. It takes between three to eighteen days to refill the venom, so we should probably just have the clone copy it a few times and bite people, do you want an amazing physical boost?"
"Sure," Amy agreed, not seeing a problem with getting Spiderman's abilities in addition to her own. She twitched slightly as the spider that Taylor's clone had turned into ran over and bit her foot without any hesitation. "Hey! Give a girl a little warning next time."
"Sorry, I didn't want you over thinking it," Taylor replied as her clone used her Transform ability to refill her venom, while Amy wavered on her feet.
"Hey!" Claire as she flew down and touched Amy's shoulder to see what the mutated spider was doing to her biology. "Ooh! This is amazing!"
"You're over using the word," Amelia said as she walked out.
"I'm really not, take a look!" Claire said cheerfully.
Amelia touched Amy's arm and checked her biology. "Okay, yeah, that's amazing and she's probably going to crash soon."
"We should boost Anakin and Padme, the twin might pick up the powers," Amy suggested with a giggle, figuring Luke would have had an easier time dealing with the Empire if he'd also had Spiderman's powers.
"Wouldn't hurt," Taylor mused as Kara came down for a landing.
"Can I get a dozen twins?" Kara asked.
"Do you want some of them male?" Taylor asked.
"Sure," Kara replied after thinking about it for a second.
Taylor cloned Kara, creating a naked clone. "That worked better than I was expecting."
MJ giggled as she flew down to see what they were working on. "Double the trouble."
"Yep," Kara's clone agreed, thinking about her cousin's stress levels when he realized that she had a bunch of clones.
Taylor created another temporary clone.
The second clone used her Transform ability to copy Taylor and gave Kara's clone Greater Healing, Shadow Hands and the limited copies of Eyes of Purity as well as the Metallurgy power in case she wanted to make a bunch of gold coins and skip the day job. 'Good enough.'
Taylor copied Kara's clone another six times, figuring she had plenty of abilities, getting one male Kryptonian that looked like a blond surfer and five identical clones. She quickly made another five male clones, bringing the total number of clones to an even dozen. "That should do it."
"This is going to drive my cousin crazy," Kara said cheerfully.
Taylor's second clone used her Mimic ability on the spider then used Budding on MJ. She smiled when she found a version of the spider bite power that had an off switch so she could bite people without giving them copies of Spiderman's powers and gave it to MJ. "How many clones do you want?"
"I'd like a few but we'd need a way to make money," MJ admitted.
"Not a problem," Taylor's second clone said as she gave MJ a copy of her Metallurgy power so that she could make gold coins. "That should let you make gold coins."
"In that case, give me five copies," MJ said, not seeing a problem with having a couple of clones to help out if they didn't have to worry about work.
"I feel sleepy," Amy said, sounding a bit drunk and out of it as Padme and Anakin flew down to check on the clones.
Taylor's second clone reached out and touched MJ's arm. "Okay." She quickly made five female clones of MJ. "Done. I also gave you a copy of the Spider's ability to give people Spiderman's power with a bite, you have to activate the ability though."
"This is going to be fun, I need to bite Peter's aunt and Felicia and Stacy," MJ said cheerfully as she thought about her friends that could use some extra powers.
"You know, I never really liked being the Chosen One," Anakin admitted.
"Sharing is caring," Padme teased, not seeing a problem with having more Anakins around.
Taylor's second clone gave Anakin and Padme the ability to bite people and give them Spiderman powers then cloned Anakin five times, getting two female copies and three male.
"You should copy Padme, one isn't enough," one of the male copies of Anakin said.
"Not even close," the female copy of Anakin agreed.
"Even dozen?" Taylor asked with a grin.
"I could use more assistants," Padme admitted.
Taylor's clone quickly cloned Padme eleven times, managing to get eleven female copies then copied Anakin, getting two more male copies before she just swapped to making female copies so there were six of each for Anakin.
Anakin glanced over the collection of angels. "I could get used to this."
Padme laughed as she checked out Anakin's clones.
C3PO walked out of the house. "Master Kenobi is on the communicator, he needs you to get to Geonosis."
"We're going to need more lightsabers," two of Anakin's clones said.
"I'll be right back," Anakin said as he headed inside his mother's home to answer the call.
"I'm pretty sure there's a Hutt that has a collection of lightsabers," one of the female Anakins mused.
"Kyratt dragon crystals," one of Anakin's male clones mused.
Taylor's clone used her Transform ability to change into a copy of Kara and X-rayed Anakin's lightsaber so she could look at the crystal.
Taylor swapped her Shadow Hands ability for her Stonesprout ability and gestured at a large rock, causing several rings of crystals to grow out of it that sort of matched Anakin's crystal. "Do you think that would work?"
One of Anakin's female clones reached out to the force and frowned. "They'd burn out pretty quickly."
"Even if we could use them, we'd need to make the lightsabers," one of the other clones mused.
"Watto should have some of the parts, we'll just need a bit of time and something to bargain with," she mused.
"Do you have any way to turn invisible?" Padme asked Taylor.
"Give me a minute," Taylor said as she summoned her wraith familiar and had her clone Mimic it.
"I can give you Invisibility." The clone started handing out the ability to turn invisible to Anakin's clones.
"I could get used to this," one of the female clones said as she flipped the mental switch and vanished from view.
"We're going to drive the council crazy," one of Anakin's clones said cheerfully.
"We're so getting kicked out," another clone complained.
"We're technically not part of the order, we're just a clone," one of the other clones said.
The clone laughed. "Details."
"Can I get the ability to turn invisible as well?" Padme asked.
Taylor's clone checked and gave her the ability. "You've got just enough potential. You'll have to master your abilities before I can give you more but that's fine, it shouldn't take too long."
"Someone needs to hit the market, someone needs to hit the shops and a group needs to hit the Hutts," one of the clones suggested.
"Do you want help with the Hutts?" Kara asked, not seeing a reason to leave a bunch of people enslaved.
"Yes," most of Anakin's clones said cheerfully as they started plotting.
