Sonic the Hedgehog and the Space Ace Transformers - Episode III by Space Ace
Part 6


    All of a sudden just as the Rangers closed in on the Anti-Gravity Cannon operated by Belladonna
at the same time the Freedom Fighters and Chaotix were making their rush simultaneously...the witch
caught sight of me coming in on her blind spot, wheeled about to aim the gun directly at me.

BELLADONNA: Now to finish you off, permanently! <sneers at me>
ACE: Uh-oh, not good. <shocked look>
BELLADONNA: Have a nice trip, into space that is...NOT! <fires the weapon>
SALLY: Look out! <lunges my way to knock me aside>

    Too late however as the witch blasted me with a direct hit from the cannon just as Acorn
attempted to push me out of harm's way, alas she too got struck by the beam as well!  The end
result had both of us floating helplessly into the air, arms and legs flailing madly as we went
flying off.

ACE: Hey-hey! <face a look of terror on it>
SALLY: Heeeeelp! <cries out in terror>
SONIC: Sally! <horror frozen on his face>
KIMBERLY: Dexter! <screams in terror, eyes wide>
BELLADONNA: Ha-ha-ha, bye-bye you two idiots! <cackles evilly, mockingly waves farewell>

    Everybody looked on in horror, eyes wide and mouths falling open in disbelief as they witnessed
Sally and I floating away like helium filled balloons.  While all that was going on, Dr Kintobor
snuck into view unseen and approached the cannon.  Once there he tried figuring out how to
deactivate it, or better yet find a way to use its power to bring myself and Sally back down again
safely.

IVO KINTOBOR: Hmm, now let me see here...<studies control panel> this lever must control the power
level source, what would happen if I switch it off?

    Suddenly Dr Drakken spots the bald headed genius, Julian's twin brother that is about to tinker
with the cannon and reacts in shock, then anger.

DRAKKEN: Stop!  Get away from that weapon, you fool. <glares his way>
IVO KINTOBOR: Oops, good grief. <shocked look> Caught red-handed.
DRAKKEN: Witch, stop him before he destroys the cannon!
BELLADONNA: Oh, no you don't...idiot! <lunges at him, glaring menacingly> I'll teach you to try and
tamper with this weapon.
IVO KINTOBOR: Not so fast, sorceress! <defies her> Hey, look over there. <points>
BELLADONNA: Where?! <starts to turn head>

    Then Kintobor lashed out, connecting with a well placed sucker punch to the crotch-groin area
that caused Belladonna to gasp, cry out in pain and shock, eyes bulging wide as she bent over to
grab at her lower anatomy area, then wincing with eyes half squinted shut as the good Robotnik
leapt away from the witch and took off running even as Drakken fired warning shots at him, charging
up to man the controls of the anti-gravity cannon as he prepared to take out the Alliance warriors
and allies.  Meanwhile Nicole zooms after her maker and me, catching up to the two helpless
leaders.

NICOLE: Hitch-hikers usually stand on the side of the road, this is a novel approach. <smirks> Need
a lift?
SALLY: Of course, I need a lift! <snaps back> Take my hand. <reaches out>
NICOLE: <grabs her hand> Hold tight, my maker...<then reaches out for me> are you thumbing a ride?
ACE: <I crack a joke> If you're going my way, he? <grabs her other hand>

    Just then I had a brilliant idea as a so-called light bulb went off inside my brain.

ACE: Yo, drop me atop that cannon, or better yet...have Sally drop on the cannon while I take out
the mad scientist.
SALLY: Yeah, he-he! <sneers> Go for it, hero of Earth.
NICOLE: You got it, leaders! <sneers back at us both>

    Swooping down she released our hands, we both cannon-balled full tilt into a startled Drakken,
me slamming the mad scientist away from the anti-gravity weapon as Sally delivered a 1-2 punch
combination to put him out for the 10-count, we slapped high five then immediately scanned the
control panel to disarm the deadly weapon together.  By this time, Kintobor returned to assist us
both.

IVO KINTOBOR: Need my assistance?
ACE: Certainly, professor.
SALLY: Yes, we can use your help, professor. <grins>
IVO KINTOBOR: Tell me what to do, then. <grins back>
ACE: Sally, I'll make sure no nWo try and regain control, you and Ivo find a way to deactivate or
self destruct this weapon. <draw my laser pistol>
SALLY: Yes sir! <salutes me>

    So while I was guarding their position, taking pot shots at nWo, Dark Legion soldiers and
SwatBots constantly to keep them at bay...both Acorn and Kintobor began programming the cannon to
self destruct before the former princess tapped me on the shoulder, then shouted into my ear.

SALLY: Okay!  The cannon is programmed to self destruct, I suggest we get the hell out of here now.
ACE: Roger! <shout back without turning head> Power Rangers, transform and retreat, fall back!
<shout into my morphing device>
KIMBERLY: 10-4, leader. <answers back>
SALLY: Freedom Fighters, Chaotix...retreat with the Rangers to a safe distance then wait for us to
join you! <shouts into her comlink>
SONIC: Roger that, leader. <answers back>
KNUCKLES: 10-4, leader. <answers back>
IVO KINTOBOR: Oh, dear.  How are we going to escape? <looks worried>
ACE: Easy, ride in style of course in yours truly, he? <I smirk playfully>
IVO KINTOBOR: He? <scowls briefly>
SALLY: He'll transport us via his Peterbilt semi guise, what else, duh? <leers playfully>
IVO KINTOBOR: Of course! <sneers back>

    But as I was in the process of morphing into my big rig form, all of a sudden I cry out from a
stinging bolt of laser beams hitting my body, slamming me into the ground as Sally and Ivo gasp in
shock, then hearing evil laughter look up to catch sight of Dr Eggman zooming into the sky, still
laughing evilly having shot me with his laser guns onboard his hover pod.

EGGMAN: I got him, I got him good, who-ho-ho...ha-ha-ha! <flies away into the sky>
SALLY: Oooooooh, curse you, you coward! <screams in rage at him, eyes narrowed>
IVO KINTOBOR: Now what do we do?! <panics, eyes wide>
SALLY: Nicole! <shouts to her bodyguard>
NICOLE: <flies down> Here, Sally...
SALLY: Quick, get Ace out of here, hurry!  The anti gravity cannon is about to explode.
NICOLE: Okay...

    Then suddenly I stagger back to my boots again, gasping in painful shock, shake my head to
clear my mind to see Eggman escape into the far horizon after the departing nWo gang and Egg
Empire-Dark Legion forces.  Quickly realizing there was no time left, I morphed into my Peterbilt
form, popped open both doors, yelling frantically for Sally, Kintobor and Nicole to get in, they
did so, I closed the doors shut and engines revving, wheels spinning I shot across the Great Desert
to get far enough away before the Big Bang, so to speak.  Once I was certain we are safe enough,
out of range of the blast radius and shock wave, I stopped and we all looked back.

ACE: Any minute now, 3...2...1...there it goes!

    All of a sudden there came a tremendous flash, brighter than the sun itself.  Then a loud bang
or boom rumbled forth as a giant mushroom cloud rose high into the sky, looking something like the
atomic blast on Hiroshima, Japan back on my world long ago.  Sally, Nicole and Kintobor gasped,
eyes going wide in shock as they witnessed the explosion first-hand before the shock waves shot out
like tsunami waves, hitting me full force but I withstood the impact without being rolled or
knocked over thanks to the power of my morphing ring which also shielded me at the same time.

IVO KINTOBOR: Oh, my god! <quotes Joey Stiles of ECW>
SALLY: Huuuuuuuh!
NICOLE: Good grief!

    Then the shock waves dissipated, vanished all-together as the rumbling sound also faded away.
There was nothing left of the fortress or the anti-gravity cannon, in its place was a smoking
crater about the size of a cauldera.  I morphed back to terran form to join Sally, Nicole and
Kintobor in witnessing the shocking scene.

ACE: Wow, now that was a blast.
SALLY: Goodness, it sure was.  Destroyed everything for miles around.
NICOLE: There's nothing left, it's all gone...
IVO KINTOBOR: I say, did we just do that?
SALLY: We did, professor.  The destruction of the anti-gravity cannon means another victory for the
Alliance, another defeat for the Empire. <sneers>
IVO KINTOBOR: Agreed, total victory.
ACE: I bet Borf must've been watching this on Doom and is going crazy, nuts about this failure by
his own brother.
SALLY: You think so? <leers>
NICOLE: Uh-oh, not good.
IVO KINTOBOR: Shall we return to the city?
SALLY: Yes, return to the city and Freedom HQ.
ACE: All aboard! <I sound like a train conductor as I morph back to semi form>

    That made Nicole, Kintobor and Sally erupt into laughing mirth as they climbed aboard and I
drove them back to headquarters and New Mobotropolis to celebrate another victory.  Light-years
across the galaxies of space on the planet Doom at that same moment...Commander Borf was raging mad
at witnessing this incident with Fiona Fox who also raged angrily too.

BORF: Blast it, they destroyed my invention, the anti-gravity cannon!
FIONA: Ooooooooh, they'll pay for that, yes!
BORF: I'll get you yet, Space Ace!
FIONA: Revenge, grrrrrrmph! <eyes narrowed in hate>
