Sonic the Hedgehog Meets the Space Ace Transformers by Space Ace
Part 15


    Back inside the tunnel shafts, both She-Lion and Tai Lung stood over the unconscious forms of
Team Rocket and Knuckles, having KO'd the friends and now started making fun of the helpless
heroes.

SHE-LION: Why don't we give Borf a little present.
TAI: Now that sounds like a good idea, uh, let's wrap them up and stick bows on them first.
SHE-LION: Right, forgot about that, he-he...<snickers>
TAI: I like your kind of humor, lady.

    Both laughed together then hurried off to rejoin the rest of the gang with their load of
gemstones both totally unaware a bomb was about to detonate any second now without warning.  Back
outside the main entrance Space Ace stopped and deployed his droid.

ACE: It's up to you, Wall-E.  Find out what's going on inside and be careful.

    The robot replied in robotic language and rolled into the entrance of the dark tunnels in
search of James, Jesse and Knuckles but no sooner had it disappeared from sight than there came a
loud rumbling sound like thunder deep underground as the bomb exploded with the force of the atomic
blast on Hiroshima, Japan with hurricane-tornado force shock waves that whooshed down passageway
tunnels, buckling and collapsing timber beams and ceilings began caving in after that!  Caught by
surprise, the nWo and Eggman were unable to save themselves in time before being buried under tons
of falling rock and debris.  Unfortunately the same shock waves shot out of the entrance to strike
the Peterbilt semi, rocking it back and forth violently!

ACE: Whoa, holy s***?! <caught by surprise> Wall-E! <I call out for my droid>
KIMBERLY: <sees me falling> Dexter! <shouts my boyhood's name again>

    The rest of the gang looked on in horror as the 18-Wheeler went tumbling end over end down the
pathway until coming to a crashing halt on one side in the dust as the friends hurried over to
assist the injured leader.

KIMBERLY: Dexter, you all right? <she is worried>
SALLY: Ace?! <also scared, frightened>
SONIC: Whoa, this looks bad. <also scared>
CHRIS: Come on, we have to get him back on his wheels again.
CODY: Right, pitch in and heave-ho!

    Working as a team, the human and mutant allies heaved the 18-Wheeler onto its tires again.

TAILS: Ace, can you hear me?
ACE: <I start to wake up> Ugh, oh...mmmmmph!
CHRIS: Big brother's okay, whew. <sighs in relief>
AMY: Thank goodness, whew. <she too sighs>
ACE: What just happened to me? <confused at first>
SALLY: You mean, you don't remember? <still looks frightened>
ACE: No, I...<then I react in terror> Wall-E!  What happened to him?
SONIC: Here it comes. <spots the robot>

    Sure enough the droid rolled into sight before stopping next to the semi-trailer and changing
into box form.

BUNNIE: Down but not out for the 10-count, yes.
ANTOINE: It's one tough machine, monsieur.
ROTOR: Ace, can you morph?
ACE: I'll try but I don't know if I can do it...
KIMBERLY: Come on, focus...concentrate on the power of magic.
KIM: Come on, get behind the greatest hero of all time.
RON: Let's hear it for him!

    Together the Freedom Fighters and Power Rangers chanted like fans at a sporting event urging me
into not giving up in changing back to my terran self while I attempted the transformation process.
Finally with a surge of magic from my ring device I succeeded in morphing back to human form as
everyone whooped it up, whistling-cheering-clapping for me.

SALLY: You did it, you're back to normal again, yes! <continues kissing me over and over>
SONIC: Mush! <makes sick face, looks the other way>
TAILS: Blagh! <sticks out his tongue, sick face, looks the other way>
KIM: Hey, I saw you two do that. <glares>
RON: Shame on you, naughty-naughty...<waggles finger at them>

    Sonic and Tails gave Stoppable a dirty look back, but when Possible continued glaring they
grinned sheepishly and nodded they were sorry for making fun of Ace and Sally kissing up to each
other.  Sally separated herself from me, long enough to say...

SALLY: That was some blast you took, hero.  At least you did not get too badly hurt or worse.
ACE: Blast?! <shocked look on my face>
KIMBERLY: Oh, no! <alarmed look> The bomb went off inside the mines!
SALLY: NOOOOOOO! <cries out in horror, eyes wide>

    We all whirled around to stare in stunned disbelief at the mine entrance, now blocked off by a
pile of rubble covering everything.

BUNNIE: Oh, no!  They're still inside!
ANTOINE: Yikes! <scared look> We got to rescue them.
RON: How are we going to get through that rubble blocking the entrance?
KIM: Only one way, it's morphing time.
ACE: Right, Power Rangers...activate your rings.

    Together we posed for action, lifting one arm with the device attached and using our other hand
to activate the function controls, we called out dinosaur names of the prehistoric giants that once
walked our Earth millions of years ago, the stars of Jurassic Park that is.

RON: Triceratops! <morphs into the Red Ranger>
KIM: Pterodactyl! <morphs into the Pink Ranger>
KIMBERLY: Raptor! <morphs into the Blue Ranger>
CHRIS: Stegosaurs! <morphs into the Yellow Ranger>
CODY: Spinosarus! <morphs into the Green Ranger>
ACE: Tyrannosaurus Rex! <morphs into the White Ranger>

    Once the transformation was complete we moved towards the blocked off entrance of the mines,
blasting apart the boulders or lifting them with our gloved hands and heaving them aside like
turds.  Sonic and gang watched in stunned fascination at our strength and skills.

SONIC: Incredible, they actually pick up those giant rocks and toss them aside.
AMY: We couldn't do that ourselves even if we tried.
ROTOR: No way, lady. <shocked>
TAILS: Excellent, they got the entrance cleared. <excited>
SALLY: Okay, let us proceed inside cautiously, but be ready for anything to happen.  Rangers, lead
the way. <she gestures>
WHITE RANGER: Of course, madame. <nod helmeted head>

    We made our way down the passageway until coming upon another blocked off pile of rubble in our
path.  That was no problem for me and my terran warriors of Earth as we carefully moved aside
boulder after boulder until making a large enough opening to pass through to the other side and
discovered a shocking sight!  Sprawled on the dirt floor, face down and unconscious were Jesse,
James and Knuckles!

ANTOINE: Uh-oh, we're too late! <scared look>
BUNNIE: No, they can't be dead? <also scared>
GREEN RANGER: Wait, let me check something here. <he steps through opening> James, Jesse!
JESSE: <regains consciousness> Uh, huh? <looks up, opens eyes> Where am I?
GREEN RANGER: Jesse, are you all right?
JESSE: <looks at him> Is that you, Cody?
GREEN RANGER: Affirmative, it's me.
YELLOW RANGER: <steps through> James, wake up! <shakes him gently>
JAMES: <opens his eyes> Wha? <then recognizes> Chris?
YELLOW RANGER: Yo, in the costume to be exact. <nods>
SONIC: Knuckles! <reaches his side> Yo, buddy...can you hear me?
KNUCKLES: <comes awake> Ugh, oh...<groans, sits up> what just happened here?
SONIC: Hey, you tell me.
KNUCKLES: Sonic, what are you doing in here? <puzzled to see him>
SALLY: Are you okay? <looks worried>
KNUCKLES: I think so...I guess. <confused at first>
RED RANGER: <from other side> Come on, let's get out before another collapse occurs and we get
trapped ourselves.
BLUE RANGER: Aye, move your a**!
PINK RANGER: Uh, isn't that too harsh to say to the Freedom Fighters?

    Amy, Antoine, Bunnie, Rotor, Tails, and Sally scowled-glared back fiercely without saying
anything at first but the Blue Ranger only shrugged back in reply.

WHITE RANGER: If you can walk, let's get out of Dodge City before sundown.
SALLY: He? <frowns at me> Dodge City?
WHITE RANGER: A name of a wild western town on my world back in the 1800s.
SALLY: Oh...<still frowns> He's right, let's go! <starts to head back out>

    Together we proceeded back through the main shaft until reaching daylight again and fresh air
to breathe.  Finally back in the open again and after we changed back to normal selves I addressed
Team Rocket and Knuckles in my presence.

ACE: Thanks to you three, the nWo are finished.
JAMES: Hey, we were almost finished too.
JESSE: In a matter of speaking.
KNUCKLES: Besides, we didn't know the bomb went off after we got knocked out by Tai Lung and She-
Lion who attacked us.
SONIC: You got jumped by the kung fu warrior?
KNUCKLES: Oh, for sure. <leers> Beat the crap out of me, he!
TAILS: Sorry to hear that.
ACE: With the Empire buried for now, we can continue our quest of defending this planet from harm
as we swore an oath to the Council of Acorn.
KIMBERLY: Aye, protect this planet at all cost.
SALLY: And we will continue to help you all the way, Earth allies. <smiles at us both>

    Everybody else agreed, and then morphing back into cars and trucks, drove back to Freedom HQ
where we would rest and recover from the experience and await the next challenge from the New World
Order and Dr Eggman!
