BUCKY O'HARE TRANSFORMERS CHAPTER 3 Today was graduation day at SFIT where all students prepared to carry on their work within San Fransokyo or elsewhere in the world. Young men and women sat in their chairs within the auditorium-gymnasium wearing their robes & square shaped caps while their parents, grandparents, neighbors sat in the bleachers on both sides watching the ceremony. Professor Callaghan stood at a podium addressing his pupils. ROBERT: Congratulations to all of you students for doing excellent jobs. Each and every one of you has proven yourself worthy in becoming great scientists or inventors of ideas that will change the future as you go on to pursue your careers. Applause was heard all around before he continued. ROBERT: And now without further ado...we shall begin the procedures of giving out diplomas to our pupils. That was the cue so to speak as each teenaged boy and girl's name was read off in alphabetical order from A to Z then that student climbed the steps to the stage, received his-her diploma, shook hands with Robert then retook his-her chair again. This was repeated again and again until every student was given their diploma. ROBERT: Good luck in the future or whatever your destiny may be. Everyone rose and applauded as the students rose as one and tossed their caps into the air then whooped it up so to speak. Afterwards everybody was mingling about especially Hiro, his aunt and Hiro's friends. GOGO: I can't believe it, we graduated. FRED: Yes! Dad and Mom are going to be so proud of me. WASABI: I'm glad it's finally over. Now I can decide on my career. HONEY: Me too... CASSIDY: Right, back to the cafe, dinner's on me. FRED: Whoa-hoo! There's nothing better than free food! HIRO: I bet you're happy for me Tadashi, I kept up the good work as always, like you did before. Then it was Bucky and gang who praised their human friends for graduating and everyone returned to the Lucky Cat where as promised Cassidy Hamada made a graduation feast and everyone had a wonderful time. Fred's parents arrived at the restaurant to check on their son before leaving with Fred to their mansion soon after. Willy was there too. WILLY: So what are your plans for the future. HIRO: Dunno, haven't thought of anything yet. BUCKY: Maybe sign up to work with the Autobots? DEAD-EYE: Aye, we could use terran warriors like you mates. HONEY: Awesome! WASABI: Whoa-whoa, wait a minute. Does that mean... SALLY: Uh, yup. You would be trained in the magic arts like us. NICK: To transform into disguises too. CASSIDY: Oh my! GOGO: Cool, I can just see it now. LUPE: Imagine, Big Hero 6 changing into car or truck disguises then racing into battle with us against Triax Kahn and the Decepticons. WILLY: Oh I can imagine it already. JENNY: Me too partner. ARIES: Where did Fred go? HIRO: His parents came to take him home. JUDY: Oh, I see. BUCKY: Take all the time to make your decision then let us know when you're ready to join us. CASSIDY: Uh, is it safe? SALLY: Nothing to worry about ma'am. Once Hiro and friends have mastered the arts of transformation everything will seem like normal. CASSIDY: Okay, no harm I guess. After the feast the magic warriors of Warren returned to base while Hiro helped his aunt clean up the restaurant then headed upstairs to their apartment. Inside the Decepticon base in the meantime the evil warriors of dark-magic lounged about in a matter of speaking while Triax Kahn made another inspection of his starship noting how repairs were coming along normally with his trusty bodyguard at his side. KALE: Starship is nearly completed with its repairs. TRIAX: As I have seen from continuing work done on it by our machines. And the Energon cubes? KALE: About half the amount of what we already managed to steal. TRIAX: Not good enough to please my master. We may need to hit another target soon enough. Elsewhere it was Ninjara thinking of her lover-boy and when she would see Wasabi again or not. She wrestled with her emotions about whether to slip away and spend time again with him or remain loyal to Kahn and his empire. As she thought of this however the vixen wandered outside the base to get some air so to speak. NINJARA: I don't want to betray my leader by defecting and still my love is strong for Wasabi. That's it, I'm going to see him again! She morphed into MIG-29 fighter jet form and took off careful not to allow herself to be detected leaving headquarters for unknown reasons...until flying over the city itself while searching for the lasers expert whom she briefly clashed with as that moment played itself in her mind. NINJARA: I wonder where he got those glowing blades? Maybe he invented them somehow, and used them like weapons. No wonder I could not strike him down. Then the dark-magic sensed a familiar presence nearby letting her know whom she was seeking. She saw the deadlock haired teenager and friends riding a double-decker bus up and down the streets of the city on some kind of tour. Puzzled, she followed at a safe distance and made sure no one saw her fighter jet form either but keeping Wasabi in sight all the time. She did a double-take when she saw Bucky and gang also riding onboard too. NINJARA: What?!! Bucky Hare and the Autobots, what are they doing with those humans? Onboard the Big Bus Tour the Autobots and Big Hero 6 including William DuWitt were listening to the tour guide tell stories about San Fransokyo's history of the different buildings along the route, of the devastating 1906 earthquake and fire that ravaged the city and such. The tour concluded at the final stop near Fisherman's Wharf and Embarcadero Way where everyone got off the bus. WILLY: Well, how was it? JENNY: It was fun. What a neat way to view everything from up above. HIRO: Bet you never had this on Warren. SALLY: No, I don't think so. BUCKY: When will we get to visit Alcatraz Island, the Rock? FRED: How about now? We can board the Ferry at or near Pier 39 that can take us to the island. DEAD-EYE: Awesome, mate! HONEY: Explore the infamous prison facility to learn what it was like to do time. LUPE: That ought to be fun. GOGO: Uh-huh... ARIES: Let's roll... Soon after the mutants and humans took a ferry over to the dock where they disembarked then made their way via tram up a winding switch-back road then entered the main doors of the prison. Again Ninjara followed keeping her enemy and new boyfriend in sight at all times, this time changing back to normal form of course. Inside the shower room and laundry room of the basement the friends purchased audio players and headphones then climbed a short flight of stairs to the upper level where they put on the headphones, turned on their audio players and began the self guided tour of Alcatraz the Rock. As Bucky, Dead-Eye, Jenny, Judy, Nick, Aries, Lupe, Sally, Ken, Hiro, GoGo, Fred, Wasabi, Honey, William strolled along the various hallways they listened to the audio guides of former wardens and inmates tell tales of life inside the penintentiary and what it was like to do time on the Rock. Of the Battle for Alcatraz and its tragic ending, the successful escape of three convicts who disappeared, etc. After the tour they handed over their audio players and headphones then browsed inside the gift shop to purchase Alcatraz merchandise before returning back down to the dock for the ferry ride back to the mainland. BUCKY: Now that was an experience. NICK: It sure was. Looking into the cells and imagining what it was like being a inmate. JUDY: I like the part when you took photos of us inside the cells. HONEY: Yes, still have them here. SALLY: Cool... KEN: Whatever happened to the convicts that escaped the island? GOGO: They just disappeared, never seen or heard from again. FRED: Rumors abound that they drowned from the cold water temperatures of the Bay. WASABI: Or they made it onto Angel Island located just behind Alcatraz Island. ARIES: Oh... DEAD-EYE: Shiver me timbers. WILLY: So where to now? HIRO: Maybe have some ice cream treats at Ghiradelli Square. EVERYONE: Yeah! NINJARA: Here we go again... At the ice cream parlor and chocolate factory the mutants and kids enjoyed sundaes, shakes, and other cold deserts. That is when Ninjara decided to make her move...making herself invisible so no one would see her the vixen tip-toed silently behind the laser expert then slid her arms around him from behind, leaned in to whisper into his ear. NINJARA: Hey, lover-boy...it's me. WASABI: Huh, what-who? WILLY: Something wrong? WASABI: No, nothing's wrong. Thought I heard someone whisper to me. WILLY: Figures... NINJARA: Back outside the Autobots decided to return to headquarters again thanking Hiro, Willy and friends for the fun time and it was Bucky who said that Willy, Hiro, Fred, GoGo, Honey, Wasabi could take all the time necessary to decide when they would like to begin their lessons in mastering the arts of magic then the heroes of Warren transformed into vehicles and drove away out of the city. The kids then headed to their homes when Ninjara again made her move on Wasabi of course. Again she playfully sneaked up behind him, slid her arms about him then again whispered. NINJARA: Yo, care to hangout with me? WASABI: Who-the? NINJARA: Ta-tah, it's me. WASABI: Oh! So that was you? NINJARA: Uh-huh, figured I would like to see you again if that's all right with you. WASABI: Well, why don't we take a stroll around the block. Soon both were walking together up and down Embarcadero Way as Wasabi pointed out all the fun spots to Ninjara who took in everything around her. They rode the trolly streetcar, the cable car up and down the Powel-Hyde-Mason-California lines, and so forth. The vixen never did any of these attractions so it was a new experience for her. Wasabi bought her an ice cream cone or shake from Ghiradelli Square and she enjoyed this frozen treat too. NINJARA: So this is ice cream, mmmm...I like it. WASABI: There's lots of things you've never experienced on my world. Even though you serve your evil leader in stealing energy. NINJARA: I know, I serve and obey the will of Triax Kahn to help him rule the United Animals Federation. WASABI: What if I took you away from all that. So you did not have to do bad things unto others. Ninjara did not know what to say at first. She explained if Kahn learned or found out she betrayed him by defecting from the Decepticons he would destroy her or worse, take away her dark-magic forever. NINJARA: I'm afraid I do not know what to do. WASABI: Fear not, as long as we're together as friends and lovers, nothing will happen, I guarantee it. NINJARA: I believe you 100% that you will protect me and I will do the same for you. They reached Wasabi's residence and he invited her inside where they sat around telling each other stories, played video games on the PlayStation, Xbox, Wii consoles, watched wrestling DVDs of Ring of Honor, TNA, ECW, Combat Zone Wrestling, WWE, PWG, etc. Wasabi told about inventing lasers and how it would cut through almost anything with precision and how Hiro helped him create gauntlets that generated laser blades whenever he went into battle against the enemy. WASABI: Thus I call them green blades of fury or laser hands. NINJARA: Interesting. Maybe we can do another mock-duel and see who can defeat the other, eh? That is if you want to... WASABI: Why not? Moments later they were going at each other attacking and defending fiercely as red light-saber clashed with green laser blades in mock combat. In the end it was the lady fox who defeated the terran warrior. NINJARA: Looks like I'm the victor. WASABI: Looks that way to me. Then they relaxed for a spell, then...it was back to love making as they wrestled for control over their bodies in a passionate manner. TO BE CONTINUED...
