TRANSFORMERS ALIENS IN DISGUISE - BOOK III Falco at the rear of the pack finds himself stuck while traversing a turn in the tunnel. FALCO: Nuts! I hate it when this happens to me. Then a sinister voice speaks from behind him. ZEPHYR: Got yourself stuck, eh? Falco froze like a statue unable to move or rather a dark-magic spell held him immobile within its grasp. The War Claws had followed the Autobots attempting to escape out of the caverns and now attacking the bodyguard to McCloud. While Zephyr held Lombardi prisoner so to speak it was Romero and Kale who moved in to steal the Sun-Pack. FALCO: No, leave that alone! It's not yours to steal! KALE: Do not interfere, foolish mortal. We take what we wish and leave peacefully afterwards. ROMERO: Yeah, sucker... FALCO: ZEPHYR: It is useless to resist, idiot. KALE: That's it my dear, keep him distracted a little longer...got it! ROMERO: Yes! Lombardi gasped in horror as the terrorist mutants escaped with the Sun-Pack vanishing into nothingness like ghosts. Then another evil figure hovered before him...Fiona. FIONA: Oops, oh so sorry about that. We just want to see how it works, then bring it back soon enough...NOT! FALCO: Oh my god... Suddenly he passes out from the effects of the dark spell cast upon him by Zephyr. In the meantime the other StarFox warriors made it out of the tunnel and heading towards base when suddenly...Emmett and Marty onboard the time travel DeLorean noticed someone is missing. DOC: McCloud, one of your warriors did not make it out of the tunnels. MARTY: It must be Falco transporting Doc's experiment. FOX: Damn! Everyone wait here while I go back to get Lombardi. Moments later he was back with an unconscious Lombardi but with medical applications by Dr Lupe the bodyguard regained consciousness and in a rush of words blurted out that War Claws and Fiona stole the Sun-Pack battery. DOC: Jumping giggiwatts! They don't even know how to operate it. MARTY: We got to get it back before who knows what happens if it's in the wrong hands. FOX: Unfortunately we are low on magic so I'd suggest we make a quick return to base and recharge our rings. Then go after StarWolf before they make plans on using the Sun-Pack. DOC: Great Scott, my latest invention is now in enemy hands...the universe is doomed. As one the heroes of Corneria made it back to HQ and charged up their power rings while Emmett and Marty chose to head back to town and await news of the recovery of the Sun-Pack battery. Once they were ready the Autobots made their way to the Decepticons stronghold until coming in sight of the mountain base. Suddenly as if they had been detected or sensed the forces of evil emerged en-mass...Fiona, Drago, Sleuth, Tai, Panther, Leon, Simian, Kate, Zephyr, Romero, Kale and Wolf himself. WOLF: What is the meaning of this? How dare you attack us! FOX: Hey-hey-hey! I am not here to start another rumble with you O'Donnell. Your friends stole something that belongs to Dr Emmett Brown, the Sun-Pack he created. SALLY: You should be ashamed of yourselves, thou shall not steal. KATE: Who are you to judge us for doing something wrong, readhead! WOLF: Don't make me laugh McCloud. I did not steal anything, I borrowed instead. Leave immediately or we will kick your ass. FOX: Oh yeah? Go ahead, make my day...PUNK! WOLF: Why you... then take that! In an instant the war-games commenced as good and bad mutants went at each other exchanging dark and light magic powers against one another. Just then Bucky informs his leader. BUCKY: Sir! I found the Sun-Pack. It's being charged in the sun but is surrounded by booby-traps. FOX: Great, just what I need at the moment. He quickly thinks about what he should do...either go 1-on-1 against Wolf or capture the solar battery. He attempts to get Rocket Raccoon in capturing the battery but the bounty hunter gets blasted off his boots in a matter of speaking courtesy of Leon and Panther double-teaming on him. Aries Ram's attempt to reach the battery is foiled by Tai Lung and so forth. WOLF: I know what you're up to...but you won't get the Sun-Pack from me! I shall become unstoppable throughout the universe. JENNY: Boss, I have an idea. FOX: Go for it telepathic mind reader. KRYSTAL: I'll back her up too. Both mind reading experts morph into Ford Corvette and Ferarri Italia vehicle forms then begin revving their engines. After a moment, thick black smoke comes out of their tail-pipes. It rises into the sky blotting out everything including the sun. DRAGO: Oops, not good. SLEUTH: Hey, I can't see anything... TAI: Me too, who turned out the lights? PANTHER & LEON: What's going on here! KATE: Daddy...where are you? FIONA: Uh-oh... SIMIAN: Duh... WOLF: You idiots, fools! What have you done? But at least you will not get it either. He disarms the booby-traps and raises the battery over his head as if he's going to throw it into the ground thus destroying the device. All of a sudden it is Tigress the kung fu expert leaping out of nowhere executing a Bruce Lee flying side kick that connected solidly into O'Donnell's body staggering him off balance and making him drop the battery at the same time. Right on her heels comes Monkey Kahn on his nimbus cloud swooping into the rescue and catching the Sun-Pack just inches from the ground as a big cheer goes up from the Autobots. KEN: Got it! Asta-la-vista, baby! TIGRESS: Later, sore losers. WOLF: Hey, wait a minute! Come back with that! FOX: Sorry...but you should steal from others, shame on you O'Donnell. StarFox, roll out! In the blink of an eye the Autobots are speeding away from enemy headquarters before their rivals can stop them. Bucky contacts Emmett with the good news and the time traveler is excited. DOC: Yes! At least the Decepticons did not use it for their evil purposes, who-ho-ho! See you at the Institute when you bring it back, over and out. SALLY: Krystal, Jenny...both of you were really smoking today. JENNY: At least I don't really smoke cigars, ack! KRYSTAL: Me too, that would create bad breath, lung cancer and the likes...ugh! FOX: You did good, honey. Another triumph for StarFox over StarWolf as usual. DEAD-EYE: Shiver me timbers! Yo-ho-yo-ho, a pirate's life for me! In fact all the StarFox warriors were singing or laughing all the way back to their base with the exception of Bucky making a quick side trip into Hill Valley and returning Doc Brown's invention to the IFT where Emmett thanked the magic mutants for saving the universe as always. THen back at their HQ the heroes of Corneria told the tale to Max, Pepper and Peppy. PEPPY: Good job for foiling another evil plan of Wolf and his horde. PEPPER: That will teach those bullies a thing or two. MAX: Keep up the good work, I salute you! THE END OF CHAPTER 3
