Sonic the Hedgehog and the Space Ace Transformers - Episode V by Space Ace Part 4 Once reaching the castle I hit my brakes and pop open the driver's door for Sally to jump out and hurry towards the main entrance, surprising the guards who react immediately moving in to block her way, weapons leveled at her. SALLY: I must see the king, it's urgent I see my brother! GUARD 1: What's the emergency? SALLY: Please, I don't have time to explain! I order you to take me to my brother. GUARD 2: Very well, my lady. ACE: Good idea, boys. Don't keep her waiting any longer. GUARD 1: Huh? Who's there? GUARD 2: Where are you, show yourself! SALLY: Ace, come with me! ACE: Yes, ma'am. Both guards looked shocked at seeing me change into my normal form but recovering again snapped to attention as I hurried to join my boss and escorted us into the castle before passing through the double doors of the council chamber where King Elias, Queen Rosemary, Chuck, Dylan, Penelope, Rotor and Hamlin awaited our presence. ELIAS: Ace, what brings you here? I hadn't sent for you. ACE: Sorry, sire. But we have an emergency. SALLY: Yes, majesty. Go ahead, tell them everything. Nodding back I explain as much as possible about Borf and Eggman using a powerful Destruction Beam laser to attack New Megalopolis in the form of the BIG ONE earthquake causing death and destruction throughout the city. Elias and company gasped, horror stretching their eyes when they heard this horrible news and by the time I finished telling them they reacted immediately. ROSEMARY: Heavens! You mean the beam will hit the castle? ACE: Affirmative, I believe you are the main target. HAMLIN: No! We must not allow that terrorist attack to happen. CHUCK: What must be done? SALLY: Sire, with your permission I request immediate evacuation of all citizens into the sanctuary of Central Park, the Power Ranger Autobots will help get everyone out safely. ELIAS: Yes, yes of course. I shall see to it right away that evacuation procedures are carried out. DYLAN: Hope we can get out in time before it's too late. PENELOPE: Aye... ACE: Not to worry, in fact why not the council ride inside my Peterbilt form, he? It will be my honor in transporting all of you to safety. ROTOR: Good idea! ROSEMARY: Yes, excellent. HAMLIN: Agreed, Ace can save our lives. ELIAS: So be it, Space Ace. You have my permission to evacuate us to safety and that of my people. The other members also saluted me, I returned the gesture and when with Sally at my side the king and court followed us quickly out of the castle and once out the main doors I changed into my big rig form, popping open the doors for Sally, Elias, Rosemary, Hamlin, Dylan, Penelope, Rotor and Chuck to scramble aboard. Then pulled away from the palace grounds I had his majesty use the PA system so his voice echoed loudly all over the city for all the people to hear. ELIAS: Attention, this is your king speaking...I order all my people to evacuate the city immediately, repeat...evacuate the city immediately, there may be an earthquake on the way and possibly cause wide spread damage, possibly death as well...everyone is ordered to gather peacefully in the streets to await transportation from the Power Ranger Autobots who will get you safely to Central Park, that is all... SALLY: Look, it's working. Everyone's leaving their buildings already. ROSEMARY: Ah, good. So far there's no panic. Where's the Autobots? HAMLIN: There they are. They're picking up the citizens right now. CHUCK: Next stop, the park that is. ACE: Affirmative, to the park. Moments later the convoy of vehicles reached Central Park and stopped within the middle of the sanctuary so to speak, unloading their passengers who mingle together peacefully while looking around in curiosity and awe as the Rangers assemble to watch and wait. That is when Nicole overhead who was monitoring evacuation procedures calls forth. NICOLE: Head's up, here comes trouble! It's the New World Order! We all watched as the nWo terrorists came flying in overhead oblivious to the presence of the people watching below for the moment. But there is no time to intercept the enemy; the main goal was to protect the safety of the people first. All of a sudden a low rumbling growl echoed beneath the surface and the ground trembled slightly which made the buildings sway to and fro but did not collapse. Everyone looked at one another in shock and disbelief. DYLAN: Whoa, was that the BIG one? PENELOPE: Sure felt like it. ROTOR: But nothing came down, thank goodness. SONIC: Even the castle is still standing. TAILS: Not even a scratch on its paint job. AMY: Looks that way. SALLY: Whew, that was close. GOKU: But there's still the chance the Destruction Beam hits its target, leaving a deep crack or fault line anyway. NARUTO: Uh-oh, the others probably failed in stopping the laser at the fortress. JAMES: I wonder what that means? ACE: Don't know, dude. But at least we protected the citizens from harm. JESSE: Aye, we did. HAMLIN: So now we take out those terrorist mutants before they do destroy the city, right? ELIAS: I want a piece of the action, just like dad did when he was alive, leading the Grand Army in the Great War. ROSEMARY: Me too, sire. CHUCK: This means war! We (half of the Power Ranger Autobots) agreed to punish, make the opposition pay for this cowardly attack on innocent life on this planet especially Sally who was even furious enough to retaliate. SALLY: Ooooooooooh! I'll make those bullies pay, oh-ho-ho, yes! They will suffer dearly for this assault against my people when I get my hands on them! ACE: Now you're talking my kind of sport, boss. Victory for the Alliance, let the light shine! All the citizens of New Megalopolis look at one another before rallying to the cause as they all chant "LET THE LIGHT SHINE!" over and over before King Elias ordered for silence to reign before speaking. ELIAS: Ace, I wish to fight by your side this once to prove myself a true hero, to honor my fallen father King Max. ACE: Good idea, majesty. SALLY: Me too, hero of Earth! Let's roll out! With that we prepared to make our move in taking on the opposition forces, take them down to make them pay for attacking the city. TO BE CONTINUED... www.geocities.com/silverstarr3224/
