TRANSFORMERS ALIENS IN DISGUISE - BOOK III CHAPTER 3 After the events of the anti-gravity cannon and its total destruction the StarFox Autobots hoped they would not have to experience another nightmare like that again not to mention their human allies too. Especially Hiro who after telling everything to his aunt about how he almost floated away but was rescued by BayMax and LeFleur that Cassidy was grateful her nephew did not leave her behind so to speak. CASSIDY: Who knows what would've happened if you had not been rescued. HIRO: I hate to think of what would happen to me. CASSIDY: I would've lost you forever and be lonely without both of my nephews. HIRO: Yeah, me too. CASSIDY: At least the Captain saved your life as did BayMax who also saved you too. HIRO: I owe her a life debt for that heroic deed. Mrs Hamada laughed as did her nephew then Cassidy went downstairs to begin her work at the Lucky Cat Cafe-Bistro that she owned of course while Hiro set off to catch the bus that would take him, Honey Lemon, GoGo Tomago, Fred, Wasabi to the San Francisco Institute of Technology where the teenaged scientists worked on creating ideas to help others in need. In the meantime at their HQ it was Sally describing to her father the king of what went down. SALLY: There was this big explosion that lit up everything miles around followed by shock-waves that nearly knocked us off our feet. MAX: Wow! Hope you did not get hurt. SALLY: No, no one got hurt or worse. What was left of the anti-gravity cannon was nothing more than a huge crater that also destroyed the fortress itself. MAX: Good grief! SALLY: I doubt Team StarWolf will dare use that weapon again either against us or the Earth. MAX: I certainly hope not. Wolf tried using that same device on Corneria that almost destroyed the planet if I'm not mistaken. SALLY: Oh I remember that incident too. In his private chambers was Fox telling the same story to Pepper and Peppy. FOX: After we blew up the cannon I doubt Wolf will try something like that stunt again. PEPPY: Good work my boy. You showed him a thing or two. PEPPER: Indeed, well done. So what's next on the agenda? FOX: Guess I'll have to wait and see. Fortunately he did not have long to wait so to speak...that's when his wife informed him of an incoming transmission from the Institute of Future Technology so McCloud excused himself from his leaders who agreed to wait their hologram images freezing in place like ghosts refusing to fade away. In the next instant another holographic image of Dr Emmett Brown appeared. DOC: Greetings, McCloud. I hope I'm not disturbing or interrupting you at the moment. FOX: Course not, Doc. What can I do for you? DOC: Actually, the reason I'm calling is that I've created a new invention which I think you will find very interesting to behold. FOX: Oh? What kind of experiment? DOC: Ah-ha, meet me at the following coordinates and I'll show you, oh and bring along your teammates if they want to witness it too, see you in the future! McCloud puzzled by what Dr Brown had in mind resumed his conversation with Pepper and Peppy who congratulated him once again on a job well done in saving the universe from evil before Fox said Dr Brown had created a new experiment and wanted him to come test it out. This made Pepper and Peppy curious. PEPPY: I wonder what the time traveler is up to? PEPPER: He must be coming up with ideas all the time. FOX: Ever since he showed us around the IFT we've been interested in all kinds of inventions he and his staff create now and then. PEPPER: Good luck then and let us know the results. PEPPY: Cherrio! McCloud then rounded up his warriors...Sally, Monkey Kahn, Tigress, Dead-Eye, Jenny, Bucky, Falco, Rocket, Aries, Lupe, Miriam, Ninjara, Krystal and told them of his brief chit-chat with Dr Brown and seconds later they were traveling in their car and truck forms en route following the coordinates Emmett gave them until arriving at the entrance of an underground cavern. Parked in front of the entrance was the DeLorean time vehicle as Emmett and Marty McFly exited the vehicle. MARTY: Hey! Nice to see you guys and gals again. DOC: Ah, good. Now that you're here I can proceed with my top secret project. SALLY: This ought to be good. KEN: Cool... TIGRESS: What kind of experiment? MARTY: This baby. Doc claims it can provide electrical power from the sun to drive vehicles without using gasoline that produces smog polution. DOC: Any of you lucky volunteers care to test it out? The Autobots look at one another with curious frowns then to their leader. FOX: A solar powered battery? DOC: I call it the Sun-Pack. MARTY: Neat, huh? LUPE: Very nice looking indeed. A wonderful piece of technology too. ARIES: Something none of us would ever create ourselves. FALCO: I'll volunteer to test it out. If Doc claims it can perform as he says...this will be a piece of cake. ROCKET: Or a slice of pie, eh? Moments later the sound of a powerful motor echoes deep within a cave somewhere along the shoreline of the Pacific Ocean. Hanging from the ceiling, stalactites vibrate from the sound. A circular racetrack has been cleared on the rocky floor. Around the outside perimeter of the track stand the StarFox Autobots. With them are Dr Brown and Marty McFly. All eyes are watching a gleaming black 1970s Dodge Charger (Fast and the Furious Supercharged Attraction) speed around the track alias Falco Lombardi in disguise as he tested the Sun-Pack, an experimental solar battery designed by Emmett himself. They are deep underground to the test will be secret. If the battery works as Emmett predicted, it could be the answer to StarFox's prayers. BUCKY: Wow! 23 hours and still going strong. DEAD-EYE: Shiver me timbers! He's not even tired yet. LUPE: Yo! How are you feeling? Need a rest or water break yet? FALCO: Are you kidding? I have never felt better, whoo-ho-ho! JENNY: Goodness...even I couldn't keep it up myself. DOC: According to my calculations, he should have full power for another hour. KRYSTAL: With the Sun-Pack, just one hour of sunlight can provide us with all the magic we need forever. FOX: You are a genius, Doc. DOC: Ah, thanks...I think. MARTY: This could be the end of the StarWolf Empire once and for all. SALLY: Oh really, hmmm...do not underestimate the dark-magic of the Decepticons. MARTY: Oops, not good. TIGRESS: Falco's got 40 minutes to go. But unbeknown to the Autobots and humans, they are not the only ones in the caverns. Crouched low in the shadows is Ravage the alien feline as he watches everything before sending a transmission to StarWolf headquarters but the message is received by Fiona Fox of course. FIONA: The boss is not available at the moment. Report, Ravage. An evil leering smirk appeared on the vixen's face. FIONA: This is my perfect opportunity to take command! Now I'll show Wolf who's calling the shots around here, he-he-he... She then summoned the War Claws of Kale, Romero and Zephyr instructing them to accompany her in stealing this Sun-Pack device and within minutes the quartet take flight in fighter jet forms of F-22 Raptor (Fiona), SU-30 Flanker (Kale), Dassault Rafale (Zephyr), Eurofighter Typhoon (Romero). Back inside the caverns, Falco is still going strong as ever but did pause briefly for a water break then was back on the track once again. All of StarFox began to cheer. Yet over the sound of their applause they fail to hear distant rumble of approaching aircraft heading their way. FOX: 10 seconds and counting. MIRIAM: 9...8...7...6... Then without warning rocks begin to fall and the entire cavern floor shook as if from an earthquake. MARTY: What the heck?!! An earthquake? DOC: Great Scott! Then the unthinkable happens...a familiar F-22 Raptor fighter jet swoops into view before changing into the evil-sinister Fiona clad in her black attire. FIONA: Surprise! Thought I would drop in and say hello. However I didn't come alone...come on in War Claws! NINJARA: Oh my god... not them again. Then appearing like ghosts out of nowhere were the three terrorist warriors themselves. ZEPHYR: Remember us? We have not forgotten what happened before. ROMERO: Yeah, suckers. Blowing up the anti-gravity cannon of course. KALE: Now it's payback time. FIONA: Give up, you foolish mortals. Or we bury you alive under tons of rock! FOX: Never! MIRIAM: Get lost you creeps...you're not wanted here. KALE: Is that so? I dare you to make us leave. NINJARA: Taste my magic, butt-heads! The blast of her magic stunned the War Claws momentairly reeling them off balance including Fiona who also came under attack from her ex-sibling. FIONA: Ooooooooh! You'll regret that. NINJARA: Yeah? Come and take me if you dare. FIONA: With pleasure! She drops to the cavern floor and launches her attack of dark orbs at her sister who blocks them with her magic shield then returns the attack at Fiona who repels it away. Next they fiercely trade punches and kicks like kung fu masters before backing off glaring each other down then removing light-saber hilts from their belts. FIONA: Let's settle this the old fashioned way, see who can beat whom with light-sabers. NINJARA: Your move. They lunge at each other swinging their blades together then begin trading death blows back and forth as they thrust and parry fiercely in combat. Simultaneously the trio of Kale, Romero and Zephyr ignite their red sabers and attack Miriam, Sally and Krystal who battle back with their blue and green sabers in combat. Marty and Emmett look on in stun disbelief. DOC: Jumping giggawatts! Real light-sabers? MARTY: Like Star Wars duels in the movies but now in real life. Just then Bucky Hare yells something to his leader. BUCKY: Sir! There's an opening at the back of the cavern, I scoped it out. There seems to be a tunnel to the surface. Maybe we could get out that way! FOX: Good work, Bucky. Even though we outnumber Team StarWolf, all of us are strong in the light-side of the magic. I hate to retreat in the middle of a battle, but... Finally he gave the order to retreat knowing it was the right thing to do because the lives of Dr Brown and McFly were his first priority. FOX: Bucky, take Doc and Marty and enter the tunnel you found. Everyone, fall back now! NINJARA: Sorry, got to cut and run. Ta-tah, sister. FIONA: What? Hey! Not so fast. SALLY: No you don't! And here's some for you too. ZEPHYR: KRYSTAL: Later, sore losers. Got to run. ROMERO: Duh?!! MIRIAM: Asta-la-vista, baby. KALE: Why you... Suddenly he was zapped by Jenny using her telekenetic magic causing him to feel paralyzed and go down like a sack of potatoes. One by one the Autobots enter the tunnel and roll towards the surface and safety. Suddenly they come to a fork. Instead of one tunnel, there are two branching off in opposite directions. The left hand tunnel is steep and narrow, the right hand tunnel is wider. FOX: We'll take the tunnel to the left. Bucky, take the lead. MARTY: Up we go...to safety. DOC: I'll program the DeLorean to meet us there. TO BE CONTINUED...
