TRANSFORMERS THE NEXT GENERATION Team StarFox withdrew to their base in the empty warehouse. From a distance, they watched as Team StarWolf painfully dug themselves out of the ruins of the workshop. BUZZ: I think that they will be too busy to bother us...at least for some time. BUCKY: Looks that way... DEAD-EYE: Serves them right those bilge rats. I'd make them walk the plank. FIONA: Oh, good idea. NINJARA: Well that was quite a workout. JENNY: Yeah, sure wish the rest of the gang was here to see this. SALLY: Falco...Lupe...Aries...Rocket...Krystal...Tigress...Fox. KEN: We will not forget them, they will always be with us. MIRIAM: Another victory for the Home Team. FARA: So long you no-good sore losers. They continued to watch as the Decepticons staggered-limped back to their main base far away then flew away into the sky. When the last evil terrorist had gone, the Autobot leader said. BUZZ: Now, we shall return to headquarters. We have much to do in the days to come...StarFox, transform! In seconds the convoy of vehicles and three fighter jet aircraft rolled out of the industrial estate. That is when Sonia stopped. SONIA: I'll have to go back, Boss. There's something I forgot to do. I'll catch you up. BUZZ: Eh, huh? FIONA: I'll provide air cover! Seconds later Sonia screeched to a halt close to where the StarWolf horde broken out of the brick workshop. Transforming back to mutant self, she strode through the clutter of machinery to the scrap-yard. Fiona landed nearby transforming to her mutant self too. FIONA: Why are you going here? I don't... What-the? What she saw shocked her for an instant. Still trapped against the underside of the electro-magnet were Al Negator and Slyly Zod who had given up trying to break free from the powerful forces of the magnet and appeared lifeless, unconscious. FIONA: Well I'll be... if it isn't my ex-former friends hanging about. SONIA: I better get them down from there, won't take a minute. She climbed into the cab of the crane and located the power control shutting it off. Both mutants collapsed atop one another on the ground still unconscious but the impact jarred them momentairly back to consciousness making them look around in surprise. SLYLY: Huh, we're free? AL: How...how? FIONA: Hey there, boys. Long time no see, eh? Looks like you got left behind accidentally. AL: You?!! FIONA: Uh, yup. Of course I no longer work for StarWolf because my sister rescued me from being killed by that masked, helmeted person. SLYLY: That was Lord Zurg our new leader of StarWolf. FIONA: Who? Oh never mind... SONIA: Later, you butt-heads. Got to run, ta-tah. FIONA: No hard feelings, turkeys! Asta-la-vista, baby. AL: Why you... SLYLY: Kill! But both Autobots were long gone before the duo could attack with their dark magic. Much later it was Sonia who got her reward in a matter of speaking. Willy DuWitt showed up at HQ with his hands behind his back as though hiding something. WILLY: Hey, Sonia. I got something for you. SONIA: Really? What is it. WILLY: Surprise! Just what you wanted, gold chrome wheel trims. SONIA: Oh! Thank you, thank you Willy. WILLY: Geez, enough already. I already have a girlfriend, I doubt I need another. SALLY: Oh really, hmmm... I think she likes you too. WILLY: Oh bother! SONIA: We are going to be special friends from now on. Elsewhere in HQ it was Lightyear addressing his troops who all assembled. BUZZ: This has been a warning to us that we can never be too careful in dealing with Team StarWolf. And we are fortunate to have friends like Dr Brown and Marty McFly and of course William DuWitt too as our allies to the cause. You know that our golden rule in our war-games with the Decepticons the property of terran people must not be harmed or destroyed. I'm afraid a great deal of damage was caused within the industrial estate. BRUISER: Then we'll fix it so it's good as new again, boss. With our alien technology, we can have everything back to the way it was...or as good as old that is before the earthlings return. BUZZ: In that case I put you in charge of the operation, see to it at once. BRUISER: Yes sir! The next days in winter, Team StarFox returned to the scene of the battle. They rebuilt the wall of the brick workshop. Made a new set of metal doors to replace the broken ones when Bruiser knocked them down in the first place, a completely new calorifier in place of the original one shot full of holes that is. Bruiser, unfortunately got carried away in his work. When Doc, Marty, Willy and his father Dr DuWitt came to inspect the work in progress... BRUISER: Oops, he-he...I accidentally rebuilt the factory that was going to be torn down. DAVID: Uh-huh, looks that way to me. WILLY: What the heck, nobody's perfect. BRUISER: Yeah, guess you're right. DOC: Great Scott, it's going to be demolished anyway since something is going to be put up in its place. MARTY: But hey, it's a work of art just the same. BRUISER: You're right. A masterpiece so to speak. And when the work people returned from their time off holiday, none of them never suspected that a war-games conflict had taken place while they were away! THE END OF CHAPTER 2
