In the blink of an eye
the heroes of Earth were on their way again to do battle with the enemy as
always. It was Star Lord with his partner Amy Rose, Jesse Dart and Fiona, and of
course Ace with his wife Sally disguised as Western Star 5700, PeterBilt 379,
Chevy Camaro, Pontiac Solstice with Amy and Fiona riding shotgun aboard their
vehicles of choice. The sun had begun to set and a full moon was rising into
view when Ace brought his team to a halt. On a hill above, the tall stone tower
and outstretched arms or vanes of the windmill were black against the night sky.
I (Ace) reached out through the magic contacting my brother and in a instant
Flash, Tails and Sonic joined us.
STAR LORD: Well I'll be damn. A
windmill like those on Earth in the old days.
JESSE DART:
Wow...controlled by wind power that turns the vanes to generate power.
AMY: I didn't know that. <confused frown>
JESSE DART: There's lots of
things you don't know about our world ma'am. <she now scowls>
STAR LORD:
Easy there, don't want her to bash you. <Amy nods>
JESSE DART: Yo! It's
cool. <puts up his hands>
FIONA: I feel a breeze but don't see the arms
turning. <scowls> What gives?
TAILS: There will be a brake mechanism to
unlock the vanes so they can turn. And gears to adjust the sails to catch the
wind, like flaps & slats on airliner wings.
FLASH: You are a genius, I
mean it. <Tails blushes slightly>
SONIC: Right...<grins and thumbs up>
FIONA: Right on, Tails. <high-five slaps with him>
ACE: So Borf and
two of his minions are out there looking for Laserbeak. Don't feel their
presence just yet.
SALLY: Hard to see the dark-side is. <quotes Yoda in
Episode I>
Pallet Town was now a blaze of lights as teenagers hurried
towards the YMCA community center. The strains of Oldies-Pop music could be
heard on the wind.
STAR LORD: Oh yeah, Rock and Roll. <starts doing dance
moves> Elvis Presley, eat your heart out.
AMY: Yeah! <she too starts
grooving>
Ace, Sally, Sonic, Tails, Flash, Jesse Dart and Fiona scowled
with hands on hips or arms folded but said nothing as they watched Peter Quill
and Rose having fun. Inside the YMCA a dance party was in full swing. Overlander
teenagers danced to the music as the lights flashed and glowed colorfully to the
beat-tune. The DJ reached out to the box of cassettes as the one in the device
was finishing the last song. Without looking he slotted it into the player and
pressed the switch and nothing happened at first. He turned up the volume and a
string of electronic noises came from the speakers followed by a piercing
screech or squawk!
Without warning the system exploded and Laserbeak
materialized as his macaw form again. Overlanders screamed, ducked for cover and
ran every which way as Laserbeak swooped over their heads looking for a way out
then crashed through a skylight dome on the roof into the night sky. Once
outisde he began searching for his master then sensing his presence nearby flew
off in that direction. Suddenly gunshots rang out as Overlander teenagers, some
armed with rifles and shotguns began firing at the macaw trying to shoot him
down but Laserbeak skillfully avoided the attacks and flew away being chased by
his attackers. At last he came into sight of Beerus, Tryax, Borf and Eggman who
spotted the parrot.
EGGMAN: Look, there he is! <points into the sky>
BEERUS: My pet, you're alive. <Laserbeak perches on his shoulder> Good to
see you again.
EGGMAN: Thank goodness for that. <then hears voices>
Uh-oh...someone's coming.
TRYAX: <angry look on his face> They dare
threaten us?!! Blast them out of existence!
BORF: No! Do not harm them.
They're out of range, probably do not know we are here.
EGGMAN: I got a
bad feeling about this. <quotes Threepio in Star Wars>
Simultaneously
upon hearing the sound of gunshots and angry shouts on the air, Ace ordered
everybody to take up positions on the hill by the windmill. The moon was bright,
but it was impossible to make out what was taking place at the moment. That's
when Tails and Fiona went into action.
TAILS: Come on, we can get a
better view upstairs.
FIONA: Right behind you lover-boy. <follows him>
They found an open door at the base of the windmill tower and rushed up a
flight of stone steps, or rather it was Tails carrying Fiona in his strong arms
using his spinning tails as rotor blades to reach the upper floor level in no
time. Once there the vixen in black martial art kicked open a window shutter
like Bruce Lee.
FIONA: Yah! <the shutters flew open> There, one open
window. <gestures>
TAILS: Awesome! Right, now to take a look.
They
peered out the open window and far below could see shadowy figures running
through the darkness as they hunted for Laserbeak. Unfortunately they were
heading straight for the woods where Borf, Beerus, Tryax and Eggman were hidden!
FIONA: Uh-oh...those Overlanders are doomed. <worried look> They don't know
the Decepticons are in their way.
TAILS: <shouts down> Ace! <I look up>
Stand by to create a diversion!
ACE: What diversion? <call back up to
him>
TAILS: Overlanders are heading in your direction but they don't know
Borf and his horde are in their path.
FIONA: Open fire!
SALLY:
Right! <shouts back> Thanks for the heads-up. <Fiona and Tails salute or thumbs
up>
Then it was Ace, Star Lord, Jesse Dart and Flash Gordon opening up
with their laser rifles & pistols sending a barrage of bolts towards their
hidden enemy. For the first time Borf saw his rival on the opposite hill by the
windmill.
BORF: Autobots! They have taken possession of the structure
reported by Laserbeak! They must know its worth, this is more important!
That's when he (Borf) led the charge through the trees on the opposite side to
the approaching Overlanders firing their laser guns on the run.
STAR
LORD: Hell-yeah! <activates facemask> I love a good rumble. <whips out his
blasters>
AMY: Bashing time! <readies her magic hammer>
FLASH: Now
this is Rock and Roll.
JESSE DART: Astro-Bat! <deploys his magic staff>
Whoa-ho! Come and take your medicine Tryax Kahn.
TRYAX: You're doomed,
Jesse Dart! <shouts angrily as he attacks his rival>
BEERUS: Prepare to
be destroyed.
ACE: I don't think so.
SALLY: Come on! <glares> I'll
show you the true power of magic.
BORF: In your dreams, redhead! <sneers>
EGGMAN: <aboard his EggMobile> Whoa-ho-ho-ho! I got a front-row seat to
watch all the action.
In seconds a fierce brawl raged around the
windmill...fists and feet flew so to speak as Tryax, Beerus, Borf, Ace, Flash,
Star Lord, Sonic, Amy, Sally engaged in karate-kung fu fighting. During the
brawl Dr Eggman acted like a sports commentator of sorts.
EGGMAN:
Fantastic, sports fans. The brawl of the universe between good and evil, who's
going to win?
From their vantage point in the tower room both Fiona and
Tails watched the fighting.
TAILS: Sonic, up here! <calls down to his
friend>
SONIC: Huh? <looks up briefly> I'm okay, no need to assist.
FIONA: Look out Tails! <shouts a warning>
TAILS: What?!! <startled
look>
All of a sudden Laserbeak came screeching down firing laser beams
from his eyes as Tails yelled in panic but Fiona pushed him down out of harm's
way saving his life but in doing so, lost her balance like standing on ice so to
speak.
FIONA: Whoa! <cries out in alarm>
TAILS: Fiona! <alarm look
on his face>
The vixen in black attire staggered backwards, arms flailing
wildly to keep from falling down and bumped against a long lever protruding from
the floor.
FIONA: Ouch! <winces in pain>
Still off-balance she
grabbed onto a loop of hanging chain from the ceiling to save herself from a
nasty fall. The chain moved in her hands then stopped abruptly allowing her to
regain her footing.
FIONA: Whew...<mops forehead>
TAILS: You okay?
<calls to her - she nods>
Suddenly with a loud groaning and rumbling the
ancient wooden machinery of the mill began to move. Borf was fist to notice the
sails starting to move.
BORF: What-the?!! <eyes go wide>
ACE:
<notices too> It's alive! <quotes Dr Frankenstein>
SALLY: Oh my god!
<quotes Joey Stiles of ECW>
EGGMAN: The Autobots have activated the
device, holy cow!
Laserbeak saw it too, but just too late to avoid
contact. As he pressed in for another assault upon the mill, he failed to notice
one of the heavy sails sweeping towards him. Without warning the heavy timber
sail struck the macaw causing him to screech in pain and surprise then fly off
in another direction. Unfortunately, he unleashed a burst of laser bolts into
the ground between Borf and Tryax sending them sprawling onto their faces.
EGGMAN: My lord! <shouts down to Borf> You all right?
BORF: Stop that
thing! <orders Kahn to attack>
Nodding Tryax sent a burst of force
lightning into the mill that crackled-sparked-arced across the entire structure
but the machinery rumbled on as though unscathed.
TRYAX: Impossible!
There is nothing that can withstand the dark-side.
From the opposite
hill, the Overlanders watched the battle. Although they could not see anything,
the flashes of laser bolts criss-crossing here and there were clear enough.
OVERLANDERS: WHAT'S GOING ON?!! <shout at the same time>
Once again
Tryax unleashed another burst of force lightning with the same negative results.
TRYAX: Good grief! <quotes Charlie Brown>
BORF: This thing is proof
against our most magical technology! The Autobots have learned its secrets
before we did. They seek to use that knowledge against us! It must be stopped or
captured.
EGGMAN: Whoa-ho-ho-ho! Go get them, yes! <cheers his friends
on>
Ace and company were being hard-pressed, forced to retreat halfway
down the hill and their rivals were close to the windmill by now.
TAILS:
Oops, not good. <quotes Jack Sparrow>
FIONA: Oh, no. <worried look>
They're retreating, leaving us behind.
SONIC: Hey! <appears behind them>
Care to join me in escaping while we can?
TAILS: Right! <leers> On my
way. <spins his tails and flies out open window>
SONIC: Like to go for a
free ride?
FIONA: <leers> Thought you would never ask, of course. <jumps
into his arms>
SONIC: Here we go! <spins his sneakers and zooms down the
stairs>
At that same moment it was Eggman who tried helping his friends
in capturing the windmill in a matter of speaking.
EGGMAN: This one's for
you grandpa, Gerald Robotnik. <salutes his deceased grandfather>
He then
opened fire with laser turrets on his EggMobile blasting the tower itself as
Borf yelled.
BORF: Idiot! I said capture it, not destroy it!
But
too late. The mill began to sway as cracks ran up the length of the tower
itself.
EGGMAN: Uh-oh...mommy! <calls for his deceased mother Judy Frank>
In the next instant Borf, Beerus, Tryax Kahn disappeared under the wreck of
the huge sails and the entire windmill collapsed upon them, Laserbeak circling
high overhead tried to peer through the flying dust. That's when Ace and Sally
taunted the macaw.
ACE: Tell Borf I'd be happy to stay and help him
escape, but...
SALLY: We're rather busy at the moment...NOT! <flips the
bird sign>
Then both parents, Flash, Star Lord, Jesse Dart transformed
into vehicles and sped away with their friends in tow. Moments later inside
Castle Acorn it was Ace reporting to King Max and Queen Alicia.
ACE: I'm
sorry about the Overlander's windmill. One of your so-called rules is that the
property of Mobian and Overlander people must not be damaged or destroyed.
ALICIA: Don't worry about that Ace, it was a accident, no fault of yours.
MAX: Yes, you should not feel guilty.
ACE: Also...my friends and I
nearly drew attention to ourselves when Overlanders almost showed up during our
rumble with Borf and company.
Both the king and queen looked at each
other, grinned then laughed as I (Ace) wondered what was so funny then his
majesty addressed me by saying.
MAX: No one saw anything, it was too dark
to make out what was going on. Besides, the president of Pallet Town sent me
this telegram, ahem! <reads it> There are reports from Pallet Town of a freak
electrical storm which destroyed a windmill which had been a local landmark for
many years.
ALICIA: <reads last parts of telegram> Even stranger is the
report of a dance party which was interrupted by the presence of a macaw parrot
that shoots lasers from his eyes.
ACE: Great Scott! <quotes Doc Brown
then laughs>
MAX: It's a pity in a way, that we'll never know the true
story.
ALICIA: Of course dear.
ACE: Yes ma'am, sir. <then we laugh
again>
