Sonic the Hedgehog and the Space Ace Transformers - Episode III by Space Ace Part 1 The lonely mountain road in the Great Desert is quiet and deserted as morning fog rolls in to cover everything like a gray blanket. All of a sudden from out of nowhere there appeared a ghostly shape-like form of a long-nosed Peterbilt Series 379 semi truck that burst through the mist, parting through its shroud like pushing aside curtains. It is Space Ace! The heroic terran humanoid defender of the planet Earth and leader of the Power Ranger Autobot Alliance is leading his earth-friends on a morning workout jaunt through the countryside together with the Freedom Fighters from Freedom Headquarters in New Mobotropolis when suddenly a loud explosion rocks the skies overhead making the convoy screech to a sudden stop. KIM POSSIBLE: What was that? RON STOPPABLE: Yeah, something penetrate the sound barrier? AMY: Sure sounded like it, Possible. TAILS: I don't see any aircraft above, duh? ACE: The only thing I know that makes that sound is Belladonna, probably showing off, showboating that is. SALLY: Oh, the witch whippet? ACE: Who else, boss? KIMBERLY: Then our enemies, the New World Order Empire must be at it again as usual. SALLY: Hmmph! I should have known it would be them, those terrorist bullies. ACE: They are trying to dare us to stop them from conquering this planet, now that Borf is no longer leading the gang for now and who knows who's in charge of the nWo family. By this time the other members of my team...Goku San, Naruto Uzumaki, Chris Thorndyke, Cody Jones, Team Rocket James & Jesse, Ash Ketchum pulled up in their car and truck guises and stopped alongside me, my 2nd in Command, Possible and Stoppable. With them were the other Freedom Fighters of Rotor Walrus, Bunnie Rabbot, Antoine D’Coolette, and Sonic the Hedgehog of course. SONIC: Yo, what's up? Why did you stop? SALLY: Sonic, did you hear that loud explosion? SONIC: I sure did, Sally. But I could not see anything that could've caused that blast. SALLY: Neither did I. Ace thinks it's that witch sorceress Belladonna showing off. SONIC: Huh? CHRIS: So, the nWo is trying to scare us, huh? CODY: Looks that way, brother. BUNNIE: Oh, great. Here we go again. ANTOINE: You got that right, honey. ROTOR: So where are they, the New World Order? ASH: Yeah, where are those bullies? At that same moment high above the convoy was Nicole the holographic bodyguard program to Sally Acorn who suddenly noticed the cars and trucks come to a stop. NICOLE: Why did they stop, huh? What's going on down there? When she attempted to stop quickly it made her lurch violently in midair almost flipping head over heels backwards in the process before she started falling towards the ground. NICOLE: Aaaaaaaaaaaaaah! JAMES: Nose up, pull out! JESSE: Pull up! NICOLE: I can't, I'm falling, heeeeeeelp! SALLY: Nicole! Just then at the last second Goku San the kung fu master and guardian of the DragonBalls morphed quickly to terran form and raised one of the magic orbs high overhead, shouting out a chant of sorts. GOKU: DragonBall, save Nicole...don't let her die! The orb glowed powerfully with magic energy before shooting forth a beam of light that instantly caught the hologram warrior, cushioning her in its gentle embrace as it lowered her safely onto the ground, Nicole touching onto her boots as Sally and gang breathed a sigh of relief then whooped it up in cheers and shouts of joy. Goku replaced the DragonBall into his backpack again as Acorn jumped out of the Peterbilt semi and ran to her friend, hugging her and crying out in relief. SALLY: Nicole! Oh, are you okay? NICOLE: I believe I am, my maker... that was a close one, whew! SALLY: Thank you, Goku San. GOKU: You're welcome, boss. NICOLE: Thank you, sir... I am in your debt forever. GOKU: No problem, lady. NARUTO: Talk about crash landings, that one almost happened. NICOLE: Ace, want me to investigate the source of the blast we heard? ACE: Negative, I'll have Sally radio assistance to her other allies, the Chaotix gang to assist in that assignment. SALLY: Oh, yes, of course! I'm sure they would be happy to help us. Immediately she removed her portable laptop computer and spoke into the device to make contact with the Chaotix team and its leaders Knuckles and Julie-Su and minutes later the two echidna warriors of Angel Island appeared on-site accompanied by Vector, Mighty, Espio, Charmy, Ray who snapped to attention before Acorn's presence. KNUCKLES: Reporting for duty, Sally. SALLY: At ease, Knuckles. I need you and Chaotix to assist the Power Rangers on a dangerous assignment. JULIE-SU: No sweat, what is it? ACE: The nWo may be planning something BIG but I have no way to know what it is for now. VECTOR: Oh? That's logical. KIMBERLY: This is no time to play Star Trek, butt-head. VECTOR: Hey, who are you calling butt-head, lady?! SALLY: Enough! Please, this is serious. Will you help? RAY: It will be our honor to assist your cause, Sally. CHARMY: As always. ESPIO: Count me in, sounds like fun. MIGHTY: Me too, dude. VECTOR: Just tell us where to go. Sally nodded to me as I changed back to terran form, shocking Team Chaotix at first since they never witnessed anything like this before. Once I gave the coordinates to Knuckles and teammates, the echidna leader set off with his gang into the horizon. KNUCKLES: Hmm, I wonder where the New World Order are hiding out this time. JULIE-SU: Didn't they crash into the ocean onboard their starship when you stopped them from escaping? KNUCKLES: Sure did, sis. However they may have a new headquarters base somewhere. VECTOR: Yo, check it out! The crocodile-alligator warrior spotted what appeared to be a strange looking structure down below. He pointed this out to the other Chaotix members who also noticed the object below them. RAY: Gee, what do you suppose that is? ESPIO: Don't know, perhaps we should take a look. JULIE-SU: Too risky, we better get back to Space Ace and others first. VECTOR: Good idea, lady. MIGHTY: Right, back to the Freedom Fighters and allies, whoever they are. CHARMY: Yeah, are they Overlander people? KNUCKLES: No time, let's move out. With that the gang contacted Sally with the information that they located a strange looking structure of unknown origin, Acorn in turn instructed Knuckles and company to wait until they linked up with them. ACE: Guess it's time to roll out as always. SONIC: Looks that way, buddy. I'm out of here! SALLY: I hate it when he does that, ooooooh... KIMBERLY: Not to worry, we'll catch up to him soon enough. The Power Rangers move into high gear and roar down the mountain road, taking the turns on two wheels. In no time at all they are clear of the mountain and heading down a bumpy dirt road toward the Great Desert. By the time we caught up to the Chaotix warriors and Sonic they were waiting for us trying not to grin or laugh. As the Rangers near the beginning of the desert they see a small town. ACE: Slow down, we don't want to endanger anyone with our speeding. CODY: Yes, sir. CHRIS: This road is really shaking up my body. KIMBERLY: I think it's great! Who wants weak, tired muscles? But as they near the town, the going seems to be smoother although the road looks as bumpy as ever. KIM POSSIBLE: Hey, this road has definitely got better. RON STOPPABLE: I feel as if I'm floating on air. ASH: Uh-oh, we are floating on air. TEAM ROCKET: Good grief! It looks like we're blasting off again! Knuckles, Julie-Su, Ray, Charmy, Espio, Mighty, Vector, Sonic, Tails, Amy, Bunnie, Rotor, Antoine, Sally gasped in shock and disbelief as they watched in horror at the floating cars and trucks hovering just mere inches off the roadway.
