Sonic the Hedgehog and the Space Ace Transformers - Episode V by Space Ace Part 1 Our story begins within the walls of the headquarters base, Freedom HQ, as the Power Rangers and Freedom Fighters hang around taking it easy within the workout dojo getting into shape that is on the stationary bikes, weight machines, etc. I, Space Ace the leader of the Rangers Alliance look around at my fellow warriors training with the mutant allies of Sonic, Tails, Sally, Amy, Bunnie, Antoine, Rotor and Nicole. ACE: What a change, no fighting for once. SONIC: Yeah, it's wonderful when the New World Order are laying low. GOKU: It gives me a chance to polish up on my kung fu skills. BUNNIE: I can stay in shape, man. Who needs to be wimpy or helpless, duh? TAILS: Strength is the only way to keep those evil terrorist mutants in their place. AMY: Right on, dude! NARUTO: Sometimes trickery helps also. As a ninja master I can move with stealth and invisibility like a shadow or ghost. The other members of the Alliance agree that they must remain vigilant and strong to face off against the Empire forces of Commander Borf and his nWo gang. KIMBERLY: I wish the nWo would show up. I'd teach them a thing or two. CODY: Well, I'm sure those bullies will show up soon enough so we can kick their butts as usual. CHRIS: Good one, Jones. ANTOINE: You earth people have a sense of humor, you know how to have fun. ASH: You know what I would like to do? SALLY: What, Ketchum? ASH: I'd like to forget about the nWo. Just morph and go for a quiet drive around the block. SALLY: That sounds like a good idea, Ash. ACE: Why don't you take some time off, Ketchum. We'll wait here until you get back. Ketchum agreed then exited the headquarters before changing to his GraveDigger monster truck form and racing away into the countryside beyond New Megalopolis until finding a quiet place to stop and enjoy the scenery and nature around him. ASH: This is the life, nothing to do for now but rest and enjoy nature. SONIC: I couldn't agree more, pokemon champion. ASH: Huh? Sonic?!! SONIC: Hey, no need to get mad. Thought I'd join you for awhile, if you don't mind. ASH: Well, okay... guess it wouldn't hurt. SONIC: Sure is pretty out here. This was long before Julian Robotnik rose to power. Ash listened as the hedgehog explained about the mad dictator taking over Mobotropolis and changing the capital city into Robotropolis and of the Freedom Fighters beginning their campaign or rebellion in driving Robotnik out of power forever. All of a sudden a powerful rumbling shook the ground catching both friends by surprise. SONIC: Whoa, nellie! What was that?! ASH: Good grief, earthquake! Then the ground ceased shaking-rumbling before quieting down again. Ash and Sonic looked at each other before heading off to investigate the source of the quake. Just then they stumbled upon a shocking sight, that of a familiar looking mutant warrior pounding away into the ground. SONIC: Who is that? ASH: Uh-oh, it's Shego, the bodyguard partner to Dr Drakken. SONIC: The lady in green, that is. Uh, why is she banging away into the ground? ASH: That's what I like to know also. They watched as Shego continued pounding away starting another series of tremors that rippled through the surface of the planet before straightening up, a cocky leer on her face before strutting off. Immediately the two followed the bodyguard warrior until she began climbing the side of a cliff face before stopping in front of a solid gray wall on a ledge platform. SHEGO: Open sesame! SONIC: He? ASH: Look at that. All of a sudden the cliff facing Shego rolled back to reveal darkness within and the black haired woman in green attire strolled inside before the secret door slid back into place again. Ash and Sonic gasped, eyes going wide as they stared at the sight before their very eyes. SONIC: Holy cow?! Is that another New World Order stronghold base? ASH: Must be, the Empire keeps moving from place to place to set up shop, so to speak. Come, we better get back to alert Ace. Yet the hedgehog hesitates. He thinks he might not be able to recognize the location of the nWo fortress in the mountains when he tries to return again. In the end, however, he agrees to go back with Ketchum to headquarters but not before the pokemon grand champion uses his ring to scan the place where the hidden stone door is, then changing back into Gravedigger Monster Truck guise races away to HQ with Sonic running alongside him until they return back to base. By the time they enter the complex...and rush inside to tell the others of their discovery we are startled to see them there again. KIM: Back so soon? What happened to your R&R? ASH: Houston, we have a problem. RON: Uh-oh, hope it's not a bad one. SONIC: We found another hideout of the nWo Empire, this time it's inside a cave in the side of a mountain. ACE: Good grief, those terrorist bullies always moving from place to place. SALLY: Where is this new base, Sonic? SONIC: Ask him, he knows... ASH: Yes ma'am! He shows the location of the hidden fortress and the former princess immediately recognizes the mountain range at once, eyes going wide in shock and disbelief! SALLY: Goodness, no! That's the former hideout of Lupe and her WolfPack brothers where Sonic, Antoine and myself met the alpha leader so long ago. SONIC: Oops, not good. CODY: So who should go to investigate, he? ACE: Chris, you, Sonic and Ash should investigate this hideout of the nWo, look around and take pictures if necessary but be careful. KIMBERLY: You know how ruthless Borf can become. CHRIS: Yes sir! AMY: How about I tag along, just in case, no? My piko hammer can protect Sonic. SONIC: Oh, thanks. I'll need your protection, all right. AMY: I heard that, grrrmph! ACE: That's enough, Rose. Be on your way and be careful. SALLY: Aye, we await your safe return from this mission. The others of Antoine, Rotor, Tails, Bunnie, Kim, Ron, Team Rocket, Goku, Naruto, Kimberly and Cody also saluted as Ash and Chris used their morphing rings to change into vehicle forms such as... CHRIS: Transform, Chevrolet 5th Generation Camaro! ASH: Transform, Gravedigger Monster Truck! SONIC: I'm riding with this one, no? AMY: And I got this one, yes? Once aboard they sped off in the direction of the mountain range that once served as the hideout of Lupe and her WolfPack warriors but now those canine werewolves were long gone by now, moved away to another location so to speak. In minutes they were at the same spot where Ash and Sonic watched Shego do her stuff recently. TO BE CONTINUED... www.geocities.com/silverstarr3224/
