TRANSFORMERS THE NEXT GENERATION That same evening at the DuWitt residence it was William getting ready for his first night out on town with Sally Acorn who accepted his invitation to go with him for dinner then to a free concert in Golden Gate Park. As his mother Susan helped him choose his clothing attire for the occassion... SUSAN: I bet you are going to have fun tonight. WILLY: Indeed I am going to have fun Mom. SUSAN: Of course you will. It reminds me of when your father Dr David asked me out on a first date after we graduated from high school & college. WILLY: I doubt he was nervous. SUSAN: Oh he was nervous all right. We had a fun time together and during our date that is when David gave me a golden ring he purchased and proposed to me to be his wife and I said I would marry him since we were in love at the time and had been planning the special moment. WILLY: Wow! Finally Susan wished her son good luck and be careful out there which he promised to do so...then headed into the garage workshop where his father Dr DuWitt was tinkering away on a special high-tech radio system to be used in communication with the StarFox Autobots. But so far it wasn't working for the moment. Willy entered the garage. WILLY: Hey, still trying to get that contraption working? DAVID: Yeah, but nothing's functioning just yet. WILLY: I know you will get it operational again. I've never seen a machine get the better of you. DAVID: Thanks for the vote of confidence. Oh, and where are you heading out tonight, may I ask? WILLY: Sally and I are going on a first date to watch and listen to a free concert in Golden Gate Park. DAVID: I know you will have a good time with your new girlfriend. You be careful and be home before midnight. WILLY: Yes sir! SUSAN: Willy, your date is here! WILLY: Coming! Bye, got to go. Seconds later the young terran engineer opened the front door and standing there waiting was Sally in person clad in a beautiful dress, shoes, silk gloves. SALLY: So are we going to have some fun? I've never been on a first date before. WILLY: Neither have I but my parents used to date alot back when they were kids growing up. SALLY: Oh? WILLY: May I? SALLY: Certainly my true love. In moments they were making their way down the sidewalks of Fisherman's Wharf before dining at the Lucky Cat Cafe & Bistro owned by Cassidy Hamada of course. Cassidy wished them too a fun time together then headed off to check on other diners in the establishment. After dinner the couple rode the Hop-On/Hop-Off bus into Golden Gate Park then got off at the site of the concert where lots of other people, white, black, hispanic, latino, asian were all congregating about. Finding a suitable place Sally and Willy prepared to enjoy Rock & Roll music performed by the Stone Protectors (based on the 90s animated show) consisting of Cornelius the lead singer disguised as a samurai ninja, Chester the bass guitarist disguised as a hardcore-pro wrestler, Clifford the drummer disguised as a rock climber, Angus the keyboard pianist disguised as a Marine, Maxwell the lead guitarist disguised as a inline skater... Meanwhile Dr DuWitt was surprised to see a light flicker on the radio system. DAVID: Yes, it's working. Now let's see if I can use it to contact Buzz Lightyear. SUSAN: Is it working dear? Good, now what? DAVID: Here we go... what-the? SUSAN: What's wrong? Both parents hear what sounds like a wierd radio band that did not exist until now. It is the secret StarWolf Decepticon frequency! The next voices the parents hear is that of Belladonna the witch whippet, Kate O'Donnell the bodyguard and daughter of her father Wolf O'Donnell alias Lord Zurg. KATE: The experiment is a complete success. We now have a way to drain the incredible untapped energy of the human brain. BELLADONNA: Well done my dear, very well done indeed. SUSAN: I don't think I like the sound of that. DAVID: Me too honey... KATE: It's amazing, that the terran people use so little of their mental capacity. Of course, after we empty their minds it won't matter because they'll all be stupid zombies. BELLADONNA: ZURG: Just tell me about the experiment dear. KATE: Yes, daddy. All we need is a large concentration of terran people in one location to make sure we get the quantity of energy we need. Mr and Mrs DuWitt look at each other in horror! ZURG: Very good my child. Anubis, Kale, Zephyr, Romero, Lien-Da report that there will be a large gathering of people at something called a Rock & Roll concert. BELLADONNA: Hmmm... I've never heard of such a thing called Rock and Roll. ZURG: Neither have I, master. But tonight there will be lots of humans gathered in Golden Gate Park. Keep the device under guard and meet me and the rest of StarWolf within the hour. KATE: By your command father! BELLADONNA: This I got to see for myself, of course...I can watch from my personal front-row box seat that is. Dr DuWitt rushes out of the house to warn his son about going to the doomed concert but it's too late. Willy already left with Sally to the park. DAVID: Good grief! SUSAN: Do something Dave! We can't let our son become a helpless zombie. DAVID: I won't let anything happen to him, dear! There is one thing that David can do. He must contact Buzz Lightyear and the StarFox gang. But should he set out for headquarters in the Redwoods National Forest? Or should he tinker with the new radio system to reach out to the Autobots more quicker? While that was going on in the meantime everyone was enjoying themselves listening to the songs performed by the Stone Protectors including Willy and Sally too. SALLY: This is really good music. I'm having so much fun. WILLY: So am I, as long as I'm with you. SALLY: You and me forever William. WILLY: Good grief... Dr DuWitt won't waste anytime on making his radio set work. He knows that if he hurries, he can reach the StarFox base in hours flat. And if he warns his friends fast enough, he's sure the Autobots can get to Golden Gate Park in time to stop the Decepticons from using the Brain Drain device. He tells his wife he's going to save his son and she warns him to be careful and good luck then he jumps into the family's Jeep Wrangler painted in the colors of Jurassic Park and races towards the StarFox base. Crossing the Golden Gate Bridge the professor hopes to reach headquarters before time runs out when all of a sudden his vehicle blows a tire and starts to lose control! Fortunately he keeps control of the skidding Jeep and manages to brake safely to a stop. DAVID: Damn! No time to change the flat, better make it the rest of the way on foot. He then hikes the rest of the way along the road when at that precise moment he sees a familiar Chevy Camaro heading towards him alias Bucky Hare! BUCKY: Professor DuWitt! DAVID: Bucky, yes! No time to explain but I'll tell you everything on the way to HQ. BUCKY: Lay one on me, man. Is that your vehicle? DAVID: Yeah, got a flat tire, so...is there anyway somebody at HQ can fix it? BUCKY: No sweat! Speeding at top speed through Redwood National Forest the hero of Warren the home planet where he grew up before resettling on Corneria...Bucky Hare finally arrives at headquarters letting out Dave then morphing to his mutant self and together they hurry into the fortress where they stand before Buzz Lightyear. BUZZ: I didn't expect to see you here that fast. What's up? DAVID: Team StarWolf is about to use a deadly device to drain away the memories of terran people at a concert in Golden Gate Park. BUZZ: Great Scott! How did you learn about this. Dr DuWitt revealed everything...when he finished. BUZZ: We have two different strategies. One, we can create a diversion at StarWolf HQ, which will force Zurg to return to his fortress and stop him from attacking the concert. Or two, we can go directly to the site of the concert and set an ambush for Zurg and horde. Moments later the convoy of Buzz, Bruiser, Bucky, Jenny, Miriam, Monkey Kahn in vehicle forms and Ninjara, Fiona in fighter jet forms proceed back across the Golden Gate Bridge into the city then with David giving directions continue towards then into Golden Gate Park in seconds flat. If they do not get to the concert soon, all of humanity will lose the one thing - their brains. It seems odd to Dr DuWitt that these magic aliens from another galaxy are the ones who can defend and protect the universe from evil. It was nearly sundown when the StarFox Autobots reach the site of the concert in progress. According to the message that Dr DuWitt overheard, in just 15 minutes the StarWolf Decepticons will attack. Up ahead, the Autobots can see lots of terran people of all races sitting in front of a stage platform. Cars, trucks, buses, motor home campers are parked nearby in the lots. That gave Buzz an idea. BUZZ: Spread out team. Mingle with those vehicles in the lots. Stay in your disguised form until I give the signal. When Zurg and company make their move, we will be prepared to protect the humans from every direction! To infinity and beyond! TO BE CONTINUED...
