ACE: That's puzzling, why or what would Borf want to do with stolen steel
beams?
SONIC: That's what I'm puzzled about too. <scowls>
SALLY:
Hmmm...it's a mystery in itself that needs to be solved. <frowns>
ACE:
Right you are dear. <she nods> SkyNet, time to do some Sherlock Holmes
sleuthing.
SALLY: Nicole, you know what to do.
BOTH COMPUTERS:
Roger, affirmative!
KIMBERLY: Time again as usual to spy on the enemy and
see what they're cooking up.
TAILS: Yeah. Get back at Tryax for dropping
a warehouse on our heads too. <sneers>
FIONA: Oh, wait till I get my
hands on him. <also sneers> No one insults my honor like that.
AMY:
<leers> Good luck on that score.
In minutes video footage appeared on the
big screen as SkyNet and Nicole began cruising at high altitudes.
BUNNY:
So if the Decepticons are cooking up something evil, we'll zero in on it soon
enough.
FLASH: <agrees> Too many cooks in the kitchen can spoil the
broth.
ANTOINE: Where did you hear that quote, sir?
FLASH:
<shrugs> Probably something I made up on my own. <Antoine nods - Bunny giggles>
ROTOR: Good grief...<quotes Charlie Brown - rolls his eyes>
COLIN:
<shakes his head - said nothing>
DON & JESSE DART: <look at each other -
shrug helplessly>
Elsewhere on the planet at that same moment the forces
of evil were exploring the Mystic Ruins of the one-time former homestead of the
echidna people. What they were doing there in the first place was a mystery in
itself. Borf, his security officer Gantu, the super genius MegaMind were
standing before a temple structure listening to Dr Eggman Robotnik explain to
them.
EGGMAN: Inside this temple resides the Master Emerald crystal. It
contains all the magic forces of the universe than the Chaos Emerald crystals
put together.
BORF: Then if what you say is true, I shall become its new
master & guardian. <sneers>
EGGMAN: Yes sir, lord Borf. <salutes him>
GANTU: Time to check it out and see for ourselves.
MEGAMIND: I got
rear guard duties.
Knocking down the main doors of the temple with the
aid of his fusion cannon the Decepticon leader descended a flight of stone
stairs accompanied by the dictator as always then Gantu and MegaMind bringing up
rear guard. They now stood inside a large chamber where atop an alter pedestal
rested a enormous green-colored gemstone.
GANTU: I don't believe it. <his
eyes go wide>
MEGAMIND: Holy smokes...
BORF:
Unbelieveable...<almost hypnotized by the sight>
EGGMAN: Thought you
would say that sir.
That's when Borf set about constructing his ultimate
weapon so to speak. Standing on the roof of the Master Emerald temple he,
Crystal, Amber, MegaMind, Gantu, Eggman, CuBot and OrBot watched Tryax and
Beerus bring forth a tube resembling a barrel to be attached to the main body of
the weapon.
BORF: I trust you and Beerus had no trouble creating the
barrel frame from the stolen steel beams.
TRYAX: I guarantee it will
serve its purposes.
Kahn began to connect the barrel to the frame when a
power surge from the Master Emerald hurled him off his boots and he sprawled
onto his backside as his friends gasped in shock.
BORF: In that case you
did an excellent job. <helps him stand again> For now the power of the Master
Emerald will serve the Decepticons.
EGGMAN: Hail the Galactic Federation!
<gives the salute>
But at that same moment...a SkyNet probe had detected
energy readings and began to zoom in on its source which was viewed by the FF
and Autobots.
ROTOR: Looks like SkyNet has reached its destination, huh?
<confused frown>
TAILS: It's picking up readings from those ruins.
<scowls>
JAMES: Now who or what do you suppose...<starts to say>
JESSE: I sense a disturbance in the magic. <looks uneasy>
At the same
time...Laserbeak patrolling nearby spotted the probe too close for comfort and
alerted his boss.
BORF: Thank you Laserbeak. <frowns> It seems we have a
unexpected visitor...but not for long. <sneers>
Without warning he
activated the controls of the ultimate weapon! A burst of green-yellow energy
shot straight into the sky scoring a direct hit on the so-called intruder
exploding the probe in a instant! The bright flash from the explosion lit up the
big screen inside headquarters making everybody shield or squint their eyes.
SONIC: Aaaaaaugh! <cries like Charlie Brown> What was that!
AMY: What
just blew up?!! <shocked look on her face>
KIMBERLY: SkyNet, report!
SKYNET: Something either malfunctioned or a unseen force destroyed the
probe, I cannot tell who or what it is.
KIMBERLY: Great, another mystery
on our hands.
ACE: You said it redhead. <Sally glowers with arms folded>
I meant her, not you. <Kimberly nods - Sally leers>
SALLY: I thought you
were referring to me, yes?
SONIC: Who's a redhead? <frowns>
KIMBERLY: It's cool, fastest thing alive. <everyone laughs>
At that same
moment within the settlements of the Feline and Wolf Pack nations it was Queen
Hathor and Grand Chief Lupe who saw and heard the flash of green-yellow light
and the explosion afterwards.
HATHOR: What in the universe was that?
Where did it come from.
LUPE: I don't know. One second there is this
streak of light racing into the sky, the next thing...BOOM!
HATHOR: You
don't suppose...<grim look> you don't think it's...<hates or dreads to say it>
LUPE: <nods and glowers> Decepticons...I feel their evil presence in the
magic.
HATHOR: If they have discovered the Onyx crystal, we have much to
fear. <now looks worried>
LUPE: I'll contact the Autobots pronto! <does
just that>
While atop the roof of the Master Emerald temple. Borf was
gloating over the success of his ultimate weapon.
BORF: Perfect, this
super cannon works to perfection and it's power source is all mine.
TRYAX: You mean ours, don't you Borf? <scowls>
BORF: <frowns> But of
course. I have you to blame for this malfunctioning barrel frame. <gestures at
half melted barrel>
TRYAX: Oh great, blame everything on me, will you?
<glowers> Is everything that happens my fault?!!
BORF: Well...<appears to
think for a second> NOT! <sneers and laughs - Tryax stares in stun disbelief>
He then instructed Kahn along with MegaMind to keep watch over the super
cannon while Gantu did sentry duties of course. As for the rest of the
gang...Borf, Crystal, Amber, Beerus, Gary and Scorch Supernova took off for a
Overlander settlement not far from the ruins hoping to help himself to more
steel beams in constructing a new-improved barrel frame.
BORF: Anybody
who dares get in my way shall be demolished.
Far away in the Artic Circle
on the planet in the meantime...Team Rocket and MewTwo were digging or tunneling
through the snow-ice landscape in search of a special friend and ally.
MEWTWO: I sense his presence below our position, we're almost there.
JESSE: Oh, for sure. <cracks a joke> At least we're not freezing our asses out
here.
JAMES: Wait, feel that slight tremor? <pauses to sense vibrations
below his boots>
JESSE: Hell-yeah, it's getting stronger. As if something
is coming up from beneath the ice shelf.
MEWTWO: Look out! <shouts a
warning>
The twins jumped back in terror, yelling in alarm as something
broke through, burst through the ice where they had been standing seconds ago.
The object in question resembled itself as the infamous Enola Gay bomber that
dropped the first atomic bomb onto Hiroshima Japan to end WWII.
MEWTWO:
Bingo! <excited look>
TEAM ROCKET: Draco! <say together with eyes wide>
Then all three used the magic within to melt away the icy crust encasing the
B-52 aircraft until it was freed at last.
JAMES: Draco, can you hear me?
DRACO: <starts to regain consciousness> Is that you, James Rocket? <voice
sounds weak at first>
JAMES: Yes, it's me. How do you feel?
DRACO:
I, I don't know...stiff and tingling all over at first.
JESSE: Can you
use the magic within to transform?
DRACO: I, I hope so...
Seconds
later the purple & black dragon appeared in his-her normal self at last. She
stretched her wings fully out, flexing them to get strength back into them,
moved about on her front and back legs, swung her tail about to get feeling back
into it too. She then smiled at her friends.
DRACO: Thank you Team
Rocket, MewTwo. I just about had it with the frozen sleep treatment.
MEWTWO: <bows> The honor is mine, my dear.
JAMES: YO! We better get to
Autobot headquarters pronto. Ace needs us to save the day as usual.
JESSE: Are you up to the task or challenge?
DRACO: <evil smile on her
face> Yes! <spews flames high into the sky> It's payback time, revenge against
my so-called friends.
MEWTWO: I'll call ahead to inform master Ace of
your arrival. <then vanishes like a genie>
Nodding the dragon changed
back into the B-52 bomber as Team Rocket climbed aboard then roared into the sky
en route to Autobot home base.
