Sonic the Hedgehog and the Space Ace Transformers - Episode III by Space Ace Part 4 It was Dr Eggman himself speaking via a magna-microphone so his voice echoed across the Great Desert even though no one could see him at first as he ranted and raved about his newest invention which at first was supposed to be designed by Borf instead but as it turned out however the alien commander had arranged for Eggman to build his own prototype version of the anti-gravity cannon in the end. EGGMAN: CAN YOU HEAR ME, STUPID IDIOTS, EH? SONIC: Oh, loud and clear, doctor! EGGMAN: OH, GOOD FOR YOU, SONIC. ANYWAY...I HAD THE GOOD FORTUNE TO DEVELOP AN ANTI- GRAVITY LASER WEAPON, THANKS TO COMMANDER BORF FOR ALLOWING ME TO USE THE SAME BLUEPRINT PLANS OF HIS ORIGINAL MODEL. ACE: Oh, far out. EGGMAN: I WAS TESTING IT OUT ON THAT SETTLEMENT OF MOBIAN CITIZENS TO SEE HOW THE FOOLS LIKE FLOATING AROUND, HE-HE... KIMBERLY: He thinks that's funny? Eggman continued gloating, occasionally chuckling-chortling time to time as he almost could see the shocked, stunned expressions on the faces of his enemies listening to his bragging ritual. EGGMAN: BUT THAT IS THE TINY SAMPLE OF WHAT THE LASER CAN DO, AHEM...IF I SAY, USE IT AT FULL POWER. SALLY: You wouldn't dare! TAILS: If he does that, everybody will float helplessly about forever. AMY: Oooooh, that creep! EGGMAN: I HEARD THAT, LADY, HMMMPH! I'LL HAVE YOU KNOW I DO NOT TAKE TOO KINDLY AT BEING INSULTED LIKE THAT. ACE: What are you going to do, Robotnik? EGGMAN: HUH? WHAT AM I GOING TO DO, YOU ASK. NOW THAT YOU'VE SAID IT, NOTHING, NOTHING AT ALL... WHO-HO-HO-HO! ACE: Oh, wow. Does he have to do that, duh? Then the evil scientist came back with something that popped into his mind like a light bulb going off. EGGMAN: ON SECOND THOUGHT, NOW THAT I THINK OF IT, HE... IN RETURN FOR DOING NOTHING I WANT SOMETHING IN RETURN. SALLY: What is that? EGGMAN: SURRENDER SPACE ACE, HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HAAH! SONIC: No way! KIMBERLY: Ace surrender?! Once again Eggman whooped it up in evil laughter after demanding my surrender to his cause before speaking again. EGGMAN: YOU WILL SURRENDER IMMEDIATELY, SPACE ACE IF YOU VALUE THE INNOCENT LIVES OF THE MOBIAN PEOPLE. AFTER THAT, WELL...ONLY TIME WILL TELL, HE-HE-HEEH... CODY: He's nuts, crazy. CHRIS: There's no way big brother's going to give into that dire threat. KIM: So what can we do? IVO KINTOBOR: Perhaps I have a solution to the problem. RON: Oh, you do? IVO KINTOBOR: Why not have Ace pretend to surrender willingly and let himself be taken hostage into the enemy stronghold, not in terran form but his vehicle disguise instead while all of us hide inside the trailer attachment. Then, once we're inside the fortress we pop out and take down the opposition. NARUTO: Now that sounds like an interesting idea. GOKU: Yeah, just like the Trojan Horse trick. ASH: I get it! We use Ace's Peterbilt guise as the Trojan Horse when the nWo take him into their stronghold. KIMBERLY: Yes, of course. Then we jump out and surprise the enemy, catch them unaware. Even the Chaotix and Freedom Fighters looked impressed with Kintobor's idea, especially the former princess. SALLY: You know, professor. Your idea may just work after all. IVO KINTOBOR: Elementary, my dear. It can't fail. SONIC: Count me in, I'm game. TAILS: Me too. AMY: Sounds like fun to surprise the enemy. BUNNIE: Yeah! ANTOINE: Me and my sword are ready, monsieur. ROTOR: Time again to rumble with the enemy as always. KNUCKLES: Chaotix and I are ready too! Julie-Su, Ray, Mighty, Espio, Vector, Charmy and Nicole nodded their readiness also as Sally spoke with me about the idea of Dr Kintobor. SALLY: So, what do you think, he? Can we pull it off? ACE: I believe we can do it, boss. I'll have to say this for Professor Kintobor, he comes up with radical ideas. IVO KINTOBOR: That's me, sir. Soon afterwards Nicole flew on to meet with Dr Drakken who was in charge of leadership for now of the New World Order Empire and informed him and Eggman of Ace agreeing to surrender in return that no innocent lives were harmed, to which Drakken and Eggman agreed to the deal. Later that day...a familiar Peterbilt Series 379 18-Wheeler semi stood alone in front of the Empire fortress, Space Ace in disguise that is. Hidden inside his trailer were the Power Rangers, Chaotix, Freedom Fighters, ready for action. ACE: Okay, I play the role of hostage, let myself be taken captive...then wait until the enemy are distracted, oblivious to what's going to happen next...hope the others are ready also.
