Sonic the Hedgehog and the Space Ace Transformers - Episode VII by Space Ace Part 3 Back on Earth at the Institute of Future Technology, Dr Brown and Heather were finishing up packing their belongings into the time machine, having just made a quick stop at home after work was ended for the day. Both parents were excited about witnessing their son's marriage to Sally Acorn and wanted to be there on hand when Junior made his vows to his new wife-queen that is. HEATHER: I can't believe our son is going to be king of another planet. EMMETT: Indeed, honey. Not only that but from what Sally told me, she is going to be his queen also. Imagine, Junior and Acorn as rulers of another world far away. HEATHER: Oh, I can hardly wait till we arrive on this Mobius world to meet these Freedom Fighters you described to me, dear. EMMETT: Me too, secretary. Once inside the two adults rose into the sky as the DeLorean DMC powered up to full throttle and shot ahead into the space-time continuum barrier to disappear from sight as it made its journey across the galaxies to reach planet Mobius beyond the Milky Way. Seconds later they were descending through the atmosphere of the alien world itself before skimming high over a metropolis- city beneath their vehicle. EMMETT: That must be New Mobotropolis as Sally explained it to me. Her brother is the new king of that city. HEATHER: He is? EMMETT: Yup, King Elias Acorn and he is head of the Council of Acorn who preside over matters concerning his people of Mobotropolis. HEATHER: Oh, interesting. And that must be the castle where he lives? EMMETT: There it is, Castle Acorn dead ahead. After receiving clearance to land, Dr Brown guided the DeLorean time machine onto a landing platform atop the roof of the castle where his majesty stood waiting with a platoon of Clone Trooper soldiers at attention, pulse laser rifles at port arms. Queen Rosemary also was there in attendance as the DMC's doors opened and the time travel genius emerged from the vehicle, went around to help his wife out the other door then stood proudly as King Elias approached the two earth-people. ELIAS: Welcome, Dr Brown and Heather Brown of the Earth, welcome to my world of Mobius. I am King Elias, ruler of New Mobotropolis or Megalopolis that is, can't seem to understand what name to call it, oh, well... This is my 2nd in command, Queen Rosemary. ROSEMARY: Welcome, earth-people, to our world. We are honored to meet you. EMMETT: Thanks, your highness, majesty, we are happy to be here today. HEATHER: Yes, we heard our son is getting married today. ROSEMARY: That he is, ma'am. Space Ace is the defender of this planet along with his terran friends, the Power Ranger Autobots that is. ELIAS: Aye, you should be proud of your son for what he's accomplished for me and my people. Both Emmett and Heather smiled back and nodded. Elias and Rosemary escorted them from the landing platform, Clone Troopers falling into formation around the group like a human shield as they made their way down the stairs to the ground floor of the castle. Inside the council chamber his majesty introduced Emmett and Heather to Hamlin, Dylan, Rotor Walrus, Penelope and Charles Hedgehog the other members of the council court that is. After that, the king and queen showed the earthling parents to Ace around the city, the troopers still protecting Doc and his wife to make sure no harm befell them. ROSEMARY: When Ace and his gang first came to our planet we had no idea what their intentions were. Ace said he was seeking out intelligent life to make contact. EMMETT: Ah-ha, we continue to do that on our world, search the galaxies beyond to see if there are extraterrestrial beings out there on other worlds. ROSEMARY: Of course, sir. Then when they put on a magic show demonstration of transforming their normal selves into vehicles and Power Rangers it seemed they were more than mere mortals. ELIAS: Ace even offered to defend and protect Mobius from his enemy, Commander Borf and the New World Order Empire. HEATHER: Aye, the space pirate terrorist and his evil gang of mutant bullies. EMMETT: Great Scott, sure hope the nWo didn't try to conquer this planet. ELIAS: No, not at first. The Power Rangers kept beating the bullies back again and again constantly, my sister Sally and her Freedom Fighters fight alongside your son as allies to the Alliance. Doc beamed proudly at the mention of his son's name. He even knew how Junior received his magic ring in the first place as well as his friends but decided on sharing that bit of info at a later date. Moments after that they were standing before the entrance leading into Freedom HQ. ELIAS: Sally, are you there? NICOLE: My creator is standing by as always, sire... come on in. ELIAS: If you'll please follow me, sir, madam. Doc and Heather accompanied his majesty into the base, Rosemary having returned back to the castle herself in the end, escorted by the Clone Troopers. Inside the base the king waited as Acorn approached her sibling, grinning like an idiot upon catching sight of the time travel inventor immediately. SALLY: Ah, Dr Brown, I presume...yes? So good to see you again. EMMETT: Greetings, Sally. This is my wife Heather Brown, Ace's mother. HEATHER: It's a pleasure to meet you, Sally. SALLY: Thank you, ma'am. Welcome to Freedom HQ, home base of the Freedom Fighters and Power Ranger Autobots, ahem. ELIAS: Where is Ace? That is when I spoke out, emerging into view and stopping short upon seeing my parents standing there, eyes going wide in surprise. ACE: Here I am, oh this is a surprise, sire...first time you dropped in to pay a social call, he? Holy BLEEP?!! EMMETT: Junior?! ACE: Dad, is that you? HEATHER: My boy, I'm so proud of you. ACE: Mom?!! What are you doing here? SALLY: Duh?!! I invited them, yes? ELIAS: Hm-hm-hm-hm-hmm-hmmm... EMMETT: Hey-hey-hey, you dare mock my boy? ELIAS: Certainly not, Dr Brown. SALLY: So glad both of you could come to the wedding today, it's being held in the Amphitheater outside the city. My brother has arranged everything. ELIAS: That's right, please excuse me, I have to return to the castle to see to it everything is in order for the ceremony. SALLY: Very well, sire. Emmett, Heather...let me show you around my HQ, yes? HEATHER: That would be fun, Sally. EMMETT: Yes, lead on. ACE: Mom, Dad... how did you get here? HEATHER: We used the DeLorean time vehicle to travel from Earth to this planet. EMMETT: Aye, and here we are. ACE: Awesome, you two. SALLY: Right! So speaking she showed me and parents around the headquarters, the Freedom Fighters and Power Rangers having left for the Amphitheater already to get good seats for the show so to speak. Nicole even appeared like a ghost to take part in the tour as well for Emmett and Heather. After that, the holographic program went to work in dressing Sally up in a wedding gown and veil with Heather's assistance as usual, Emmett helping me get dressed in tuxedo uniform of course. EMMETT: Are you nervous? ACE: A little, I've never married before. EMMETT: Not to worry, my boy. I too was nervous when I first married Clara Clayton in 1885 and then proposed to Heather later in the years. ACE: And what happened to Clara? EMMETT: She moved away with the boys Jules and Verne Brown, divorced me of course. I felt sorry for my father losing his first wife but said nothing more. Meanwhile Heather and Nicole were getting Acorn ready also. NICOLE: I'm so proud for you, my creator...bet you're ready to accept the responsibilities. SALLY: Yeah, I can't wait. Me, a queen of Mobius, ah... it's something my father wished of me to become long ago when I was his little princess. HEATHER: Really? And you plan on carrying out his wishes, fulfill your destiny. SALLY: Yes, ma'am. Soon afterwards transportation came to collect the former princess, her brother the king that is in his personal limousine like the one used by King Max when he ruled over his kingdom. He drove Sally to the Amphitheater as Emmett and Heather drove me in the DeLorean to the outdoor pavilion located not far from the city limits. We were told where to park by Clone Troopers guarding the Amphitheater on all sides and then several of the white body-armored soldiers led me to a secret back entrance while my parents were shown to their private box seats high above the main seating sections far below them. There they met Kimberly, Kim Possible, Ron Stoppable, Chris Thorndyke, Cody Jones, Ash Ketchum, Jesse and James Rocket, Naruto Uzumaki, Goku San of the Power Ranger Autobots as well as Sonic, Tails, Amy Rose, Antoine D’Coolette, Bunnie Rabbot, Rotor Walrus of the Freedom Fighters, Hope Kintobor, Abraham Tower, Rouge and Shadow of GUN, etc. The members of the council were also present in the royal box section...and even the Anti- Freedom Fighters from their own world were there to witness this historic event; Alicia, Miles Prowler, Boomer, Patch, Rosy, Buns to be exact. Dr Ivo Kintobor was acting as minister presiding over the ritual as he stood at the altar. Just then the wedding march theme "Here Comes the Bride" began playing as Buns in the Omega Care Unit E-123 operated the organ. The first to emerge through a hidden doorway at one side of the circular structure was myself dressed in a tuxedo, pants, shoes, tie and also wearing a crown on my head and robe across my shoulders as the new king of this world. ACE: I must not be nervous, my parents and all of Megalopolis are watching as witnesses. Soon I stood facing Dr Kintobor as he grinned at me and winked. Then we both turned to watch as her new highness emerged from another doorway and came down the aisle towards the alter escorted by her brother until she reached my side, she too was wearing a crown and robe with her bridal gown dress. SALLY: This is it, the big moment has come for us both. Ivo then nodded to King Elias, he nodded back for the good Robotnik to begin and the scientist did just that, reading from the Mobian Bible that is as everyone listened via loudspeakers throughout the theater. Ivo got to the part of the exchanging rings as he presented two shiny golden rings in each gloved hand to us both. IVO: Ace, take this ring and repeat after me. With this ring, I thee wed. ACE: With this ring, I thee wed... IVO: Sally, take this ring and repeat after me. With this ring, I thee wed. SALLY: With this ring, I thee wed... IVO: Excellent, well done. Ahem, now face me both. Do you, Space Ace the new king of Mobius take Sally Acorn to be your wife and queen? ACE: I do... IVO: Do you, Sally Acorn the new queen of Mobius take Space Ace to be your husband and king? SALLY: I will... IVO: Then in the presence of thy witnesses I pronounce you both as King and Queen of Mobius and Earth from now on. Congratulations, you two. We both smile back and nod at the good Robotnik before facing each other, still smiling into our happy faces with hands clasped together, each thinking the same happy thoughts in our minds before Ivo spoke again. IVO: Ace, your majesty... you may kiss the bride. I grinned, winked and lifting Acorn's veil from her face leaned towards her, she leaned towards me and our lips met as we kissed while still holding hands, eyes closed with smiles on our faces as everybody stood as one in their seats and clapped, cheered and whistled loudly. Both of us turned to bow in respect to their applause before raising our clasped hands together high into the air as that brought more cheers from the audience. ACE: We did it, honey. We are finally married. SALLY: Yes, we did it, my love. King and Queen of both worlds and so it shall be forever. ELIAS: I'm so proud of you both, I hope this does not mean you're ending your quest of defending the metropolis from the Empire. ACE: It does not, sire. My Alliance and I shall carry on the struggle against the enemy forces until they are destroyed in the end. ELIAS: Excellent! IVO: Sounds like a good idea to me. SALLY: And I will continue to fight by your side, your majesty. Together we will triumph over the New World Order. ACE: That we will, your highness. ELIAS: Now then, my loyal subjects, ahem...let us celebrate the way we know how, PARTY TIME!!! That made everyone whoop it up even more. And the celebration went on, so to speak. When it was over all the citizens of Megalopolis returned to their homes, Freedom Fighters back to their homes or headquarters, the Anti Freedom Fighters went back to their planet, etc. That left myself, my parents, Sally to retire in style to the king's palace where Elias arranged to have Sally and I reside from now on, Emmett and Heather invited to stay as honored guests.
