Sonic the Hedgehog and the Space Ace Transformers - Episode IX by Space Ace Part 1 With the mysterious appearance of Blaze and MewTwo, two alien deity life-forms who at first tried destroying the Alliance but in the end, having realized the error of judgment in a matter of speaking turned on their masters, betrayed the Empire and sacrificed themselves to save the lives of all life on the planet Mobius. Though we were all sad at seeing these strangers die we knew sometime soon they would return once again. Our story begins when Dr Brown, the inventor of time travel, decided now was the time to take Sally Acorn to visit the Institute of Future Technology and let her see for herself all the wonderful amazing ideas being discovered on planet Earth. He approached the queen and his son the king, bowed to us both in respect before speaking. EMMETT: Your Excellency, Queen Sally? SALLY: Speak, Dr Brown. What is it you seek? EMMETT: I would be happy to take you back to my planet as I promised recently. SALLY: Ah, yes, of course. I do recall you making that promise of showing me around your Institute, yes? ACE: Good idea, father. I bet Sally would be happy to see what the future has in store. EMMETT: I bet she will, indeed. You want to come too, see your former hometown? ACE: Cool, it would be fun to relive my childhood youth memories again, long before I met Kimberly that is. SALLY: He? You mean, that was when you were Dexter the boy growing up on your planet? I nodded back to my wife who decided that would be fun also. Sally instructed Emmett to prepare his time traveling vehicle for immediate departure at once, to which he agreed and set off to carry out that task. Just then however a shock hit the queen as she thought of something. SALLY: Wait, the children. We can't leave them alone, unattended. ACE: Perhaps we can arrange for Kimmy to take care of them while we're gone, yes? SALLY: Good idea, majesty. Guards! Two white armored helmeted soldiers approached the Royal Couple, snapped to attention. CLONE GUARD 1: What is thy bidding, your highness? SALLY: Send for Kimberly, bring her here so I can give her instructions on taking care of our children. CLONE GUARD 2: Yes, my queen. Then they were gone, leaving the throne room and seconds later my 2nd in Command was standing before our presence. KIMBERLY: You called, sire, highness? ACE: Yes, Kim. My wife and I will be taking a little side-trip back to Earth to visit the Institute and Hill Valley so Acorn can see where I grew up. KIMBERLY: Sounds like fun, Ace. What do you wish of me? SALLY: Will you be kind to watch over the twins while we're gone? KIMBERLY: It shall be done, my lord. ACE: Excellent, carry on then. KIMBERLY: Yes, my lord. She left soon afterwards...the Clone Guards still standing at attention to either side of the throne room doors until a knock on the other side made them both pivot to face the door, both called out. CLONE GUARD 1: Who is it? HEATHER: Heather Brown, I'm here to see my son, the king. CLONE GUARD 2: Come in, ma'am. HEATHER: Thank you. Ace, Sally? ACE: Here, mom. SALLY: Yes? HEATHER: Your father, has the DeLorean ready for time warp back to Earth, it's time to go. ACE: Very good, mother. I pause to take Sally's hand, she accepted with her beautiful smile as always and stepped down from her throne chair and together we walked across the chamber to join my mother who smiled at us both, almost laughing in the process as the Clone Guards held the door open for us to pass through and we continued on our way outside the main entrance, through the courtyard and over to where my father had the time traveling vehicle all prepped and ready for departure so to speak, King Elias and Queen Rosemary standing by to see us on our way. ROSEMARY: I hear you're going to visit Ace's home world. SALLY: I am, ma'am. Gee, gosh... the first time I've been to the Earth. ELIAS: I bet it will be a new experience, he? ACE: I intend on making it just so, sire. ELIAS: Good show, Ace. Kimberly told me she's going to look after your children for you, is this correct? SALLY: Affirmative, brother. She agreed to my offer of taking care of Angel and Omar while we're gone. ROSEMARY: We'll also pitch in now and then when we're not busy with council matters. ACE: Thank you, Excellency. EMMETT: Let's go, get in! Watch your head and step. HEATHER: Remember to buckle your safety belts. ACE: You don't have to keep reminding me, mom...I know that by now, he-he. HEATHER: Oh! EMMETT: Now, now...manners, Junior. SALLY: He-he-he-he-hm-hm-hmm-hmmm... Ahem! ELIAS: Is something funny? Acorn shook her head no, still smirking playfully as she was assisted into the DeLorean DMC vehicle by her husband into the back seat, Heather came around to the other side to help secure her into place with her seat belt, I climbed in next and buckled my own restraints. Emmett got in behind the wheel and his wife got in beside him in the front seats. Elias and Rosemary leaned in the open door to wish us Godspeed. ROSEMARY: Have a safe journey. ELIAS: Yes, we'll see you when you return, king and queen. ACE and SALLY: Aye-aye! EMMETT: Watch your head, sir! Door coming down. Elias pulled back quickly as the driver side door whirred down and locked into place. Rosemary also withdrew quickly herself as the passenger side door whirred down and locked into place too. The two rulers of New Mobotropolis-Megalopolis watched proudly as the time vehicle powered up. Inside, Dr Brown activated the time circuit control box located between the seats, systems powering up. Sally leaned close to watch everything as the secretary input coordinates via the keypad which flashed onto the Destination display console on the dashboard. HEATHER: Course back to Earth charted and programmed, honey. EMMETT: Excellent, up we go then. SALLY: Huh, up we go? ACE: Yeah, brace yourself. SALLY: Hmmmph! Seconds after that the time vehicle lifted into the air on hover propulsion anti-gravity as its tires rotated outward and up till it was hovering in midair before rotating about and rocketing away into the sky before spinning back around and shooting forward at high terminal velocity when suddenly it seemed to crackle-glow-shimmer with bluish-white lightning that surrounded the DeLorean before it vanished in a brilliant flash and explosion. ELIAS: Huuuuuh?!! It disappeared! ROSEMARY: It did, sire! I don't see it anymore. Meanwhile Kimberly, who was in the nursery of the castle playing with baby Omar and baby Angel, happened to glance quickly out the window to watch the DMC shoot across the sky before vanishing into the space-time continuum and on its way to Earth. She smiled to herself. KIMBERLY: Have fun, Sally Acorn on our world. You won't be disappointed. And back onboard the time vehicle racing through hyper-space light-speed of course...The Brown family and Acorn sat back and enjoyed the sensation of traveling faster at the speed of light en route to the solar system on the other side of the Milky Way until finally reaching a familiar blue-white planet dead ahead as they re-emerged from time warp. EMMETT: There it is, son. Home sweet home. ACE: Yeah, my own world in all its glory. Just like it was when we first embarked on our quest to seek out intelligent life long ago. HEATHER: I bet it will be fun being back if only for a little while. ACE: Uh-huh, stir up old memories. SALLY: Wow, it's so pretty, so beautiful... Uh, um, where exactly is this Hill Valley, he? EMMETT: Ah, you'll know it when we get there, hang on...we're passing through the gravity field right now, may encounter turbulence. HEATHER: Make sure seat belts are securely fastened. ACE: I got mine on, mom, dad. SALLY: Me too! Soon afterwards the DeLorean was cruising along a freeway in the sky or Skyway as it was called, about 10-20 feet off the ground as Emmett skillfully maneuvered among the other vehicles coming and going in both directions while looking for the EXIT turnoff until finding the proper off-ramp and began descending to the ground passing beneath a giant archway that read "HILL VALLEY 2010" until finding a good parking space to shut down the systems. EMMETT: All ashore, please. ACE: Right, dad. Time to stretch our legs and take a stroll. HEATHER: Need help in unbuckling your belt? SALLY: I think I got it, uh...I ain't got it here, he-he. Help? HEATHER: Coming, my dear. The secretary came around and unbuckled Sally's belt for her, she laughed weakly and feeling embarrassed about not being able to undo her own restraints at first before she helped her out of the time vehicle. For the moment the four stood standing in front of a laboratory building with a sign out front that read "Institute of Future Technology" SALLY: Is this where you work, Dr Brown? EMMETT: This is it, your highness. The Institute where inventions and thought up and created by genius inventors like myself. SALLY: Oh, my... ACE: Wait until you see the inside of the place, dear. SALLY: Oh, I can't wait to see the secrets within, yes! EMMETT: Then let's begin your very own private tour, he? SALLY: He-he-he-he-he-hm-hm-hm-hm-hmm-hmmm... HEATHER: Oh, stop that, you're embarrassing Ace's wife, dear. EMMETT: Oops, sorry about that, my queen. SALLY: Don't worry, you are forgiven, sir. ACE: D'oh! That made my wife laugh out loud, joined by my mother as well while both my father and I turned red in the face from embarrassment before the Chief Inventive Officer led the way into the building itself to begin Sally's private tour.
