Sonic the Hedgehog and the Space Ace Transformers - Episode II by Space Ace Part 11 But as we entered the cave it became apparent that something was wrong. There was no sign of any teleportation space bridge to be seen within the caverns-chambers except for waterfalls tumbling down from fissures in the rock walls, stalagmites growing from the floor and stalactites growing from the ceiling overhead. YELLOW RANGER: Is this some kind of joke? BLACK RANGER: I don't see any space bridge in here, duh? GOLD RANGER: Huh? What? SONIC: I bet you're tricking us, dude. Probably leading us into a trap of sorts. SILVER RANGER: Now see here... BUNNIE: Trap, what trap?! Sally ventured on ahead of the group and called out, looking around for signs of her missing warriors. SALLY: Tails, Amy...are you in here? BLUE RANGER: I don't see them... All of a sudden a loud sound like laser fire drowned out all conversation and then a crashing noise like falling rocks spun us about in time to see the mouth of the cave sealed off by boulders and stalactites that fell from the ceiling. RED RANGER: Oh, great. So this is a trap. PINK RANGER: Nuts! Like we were expected here anyway. BORF: Correct you are, Rangers. Welcome to your own nightmare, ha-ha-ha! SONIC: No! FIONA: Surprise, hedgehog! PURPLE RANGER: Yegads, the New World Order! Sure enough the terrorist leader and his gang rose up like ghosts out of nowhere to level their laser guns at us while we froze where we stood. BORF: Prepare to be destroyed, forever! WHITE RANGER: Scatter, move out! FIONA: Not so fast, whoever you are... I'm going to kick your a**, NOW! WHITE RANGER: Come on, butt-head! The lady fox attacked with punches and kicks while I fought back in martial arts fighting style. Borf tried nailing me with the INFANTO RAY but held his fire fearing he would accidentally hit his new recruit by mistake. Instead he wielded his electrified staff and attacked the former princess, swinging his weapon about to KO Acorn who met his attack head-on. BORF: Now to settle the score once and for all. SALLY: Bring it on, sore loser. HIE! She kicked out, trying to knock the staff from Borf's hands but the alien pirate denied that chance, lashing out to land blows to Sally who reeled but recovered and fought back, blocking other strikes aimed at her head and body. Sonic hurried to her side to assist. SONIC: Yo, big bully! How about trying to hit me for a change, huh? BORF: No sweat, punk. Take that! SONIC: Whoa, ha-ha...missed! BORF: Blast you, rodent. SONIC: Missed again, nyah! SALLY: Sonic?! Stop making fun of him, it'll only enrage him more. BORF: KILL! All of a sudden electricity arced across his body as he screamed in pain, dropping his weapon before collapsing onto palms and knees, gasping in shock before hearing another voice threaten him, spun around to see the Bronze Power Ranger (Ash Ketchum in disguise) with Picaku next to its trainer, glowering fiercely, ears flat back, tail cocked. BRONZE RANGER: Picaku, lightning attack again! PICAKU: Piiiicuuuuuuuu! BORF: Aaaaaaaargh! He collapsed face down on the floor, stunned for the moment as Ash whooped it up, Picaku did a victory dance as Sonic and Sally high five each other, then did it with the Bronze Ranger, bumped together and laughing hurried off to help the others in the fight. Unfortunately Fiona saw her boss go down under the barrage from the pokemon creature and panicked, eyes wide in fright at first. FIONA: Boss! WHITE RANGER: Oops, looks like he got zapped. FIONA: Curse you, grrrrmph! You'll pay for that, I swear it! WHITE RANGER: Screw you, lady. Still glaring-snarling, the vixen rushed off to help her leader recover while I ran in another direction. Bunnie and Antoine fought back to back, protecting each other's flanks from Drago and Sleuth who ganged up on them both. SLEUTH: You're about to be finished. BUNNIE: Don't count on it, dude. DRAGO: Any last words before I knock you on your butt? ANTOINE: Only one...BUTT-HEAD! Enraged the brothers swung out at the rabbit cyborg and swords expert but Antoine and Bunnie defended themselves and beat back the nWo thugs, driving them backwards and had them down on their butts instead. BUNNIE: Excellent work, honey. ANTOINE: Aye, honey. GREEN RANGER: Good martial arts moves, you two. ANTOINE: Wi, monsieur. BUNNIE: Thank you, sugar. GREEN RANGER: Oh, gosh... That made Bunnie and Antoine laugh together before hurrying off with Cody Jones in disguise to continue the brawl elsewhere. Ninjara, Tai and Tigress were battling Team Rocket (Pink and Purple Rangers) while Belladonna, Drakken and Shego clashed with Kim, Ron, Chris, Kimberly (Red-Black- Yellow-Blue Rangers) at the same time. It appeared the good guys were winning against the bad guys from the look of things. Meanwhile...Borf regained consciousness, blinked his eyes open, groaned and lifted his head off the cave floor but as he looked for the pokemon alien and its trainer, both were long gone by now. BORF: Oh, when I get my hands on that fool... Just then his communicator went off, indicating an urgent message from Dr Robotnik and activated the device to reveal a 3D illusion of the scientist looking scared and alarmed. EGGMAN: Calling Borf, respond immediately! BORF: I'm here, report. EGGMAN: The space bridge is about to open again. SNIVELY: Affirmative, hurry back to the location site so we can proceed with the delivery of the cargo! BORF: Okay, we'll meet you there! Jumping to his feet he started running in the direction of the sealed off cave entrance, followed by Fiona who caught up to him, wanting to know why they were retreating. BORF: We're heading back to the riverbed and the space bridge, Eggman informed me it's about to open again. FIONA: Yikes! We better hurry before it's too late again. BORF: nWo, retreat now! Transform and take off for the riverbed! At his voice command the nWo terrorist mutants converged to their fighter jet and helicopter guises to take to the sky and zoom away even as we, the Power Ranger Autobots tried stopping them but once again failed to do so. Once outside the cave, Drakken got panicky and blurted out. DRAKKEN: The Rangers will learn the location of the bridge should they dare follow us! BORF: That's why we'll make sure they do not, none will leave alive. FIONA: He-he-he, yes sir! Together the scientist and lady fox watched the alien pirate in his Hind copter form hover in the air and unleash a barrage of laser bullets and missiles into the top of the cave entrance, starting another rock slide to once more seal off the opening for good before changing back again to his alien form. DRAKKEN: Oh, that one's got to hurt. FIONA: Yeah, bad...NOT! BORF: Come, let us join the rest of the gang, they are waiting for us. With that he lead his brother and new bodyguard into the sky in the direction of the riverbed canyon. TO BE CONTINUED... www.geocities.com/silverstarr3224/
