BUCKY O'HARE TRANSFORMERS As Judy Hops in police cruiser form drove Robert and Abigail to Autobot HQ... ROBERT: You know something? I like being a spy like Agent 007. JUDY: Who was he? ROBERT: A fictional character named James Bond created by Ian Flemming who battled evil forces around the world. JUDY: Oh... ABIGAIL: Look at this, no hands. JUDY: Big deal, I'm driving. ROBERT: Uh-oh, we got company...incoming! Suddenly from high above screaming down from the sky like attacking eagles or hawks came a F-16 Viper fighter jet alias Al Negator blasting away with laser guns. With him was a AH-1Z Super Cobra attack helicopter alias Drago Wolf also firing away on the police cruiser. DRAGO: Look out, here comes trouble. AL: Yeah, take that stupid wench! JUDY: Oh yeah! Try and hit me if you can, butt-heads! ROBERT: We're going to need some help and fast. ABIGAIL: On it, dad. Mayday, mayday! Calling Autobots, we are being assaulted by Decepticons, send help fast! Judy began evasive maneuvers as she swerved to and fro throwing off the aim of Drago and Al as both Decepticons tried scoring hits but missing. DRAGO: Dang it, she keeps messing up my aim. AL: Mine too... Just when all appeared to be lost from out of nowhere racing to the rescue came Monkey Kahn in his Ford Corvette form and Nick Wilde in his Dodge Charger form. Both Autobots raced past Hops, screeched to a stop then spun about and came back to shield their friend on both sides from another barrage assault from Drago and Al. Suddenly Negator zapped Nick scratching or scorching his paint job. NICK: Hey! That's a new paint job! Eat this suckers... His shots struck the Viper fighter jet which burst into flames and smoke then it flew off in another direction. AL: I'll get you for that! DRAGO: Yeah, losers...asta-la-bye-bye! JUDY: Thanks for the help. KEN: You're welcome. NICK: What about my paint?!! KEN: Don't worry, no one will notice a thing. Simply use your powers to make it look new again. NICK: Oh, yeah...forgot, ha-ha! JUDY: As if...partner. ROBERT: Thanks for the assist. KEN: Yes sir, Professor Callaghan. ABIGAIL: Did you get the message? NICK: Aye, Bucky is ready to head out to these abandoned gold mines once we get back to base. And seconds later the Autobots were making their way through the countryside passing by the town of Hill Valley then proceeding onward until arriving at the 1885 Hill Valley Ghost Town, now a tourist destination where people could explore the many buildings, take guided tours and listen to stories about life in the Old West before the turn of the 20th Century. The cars and trucks stopped outside the park entrance to change back into mutants. BUCKY: So this is what Hill Valley looked like long ago. ROBERT: Affirmative. In the 1800s the United States was expanding westward as new territories were being created into states. Gold fever was in the air as prospectors or miners staked their claims, mining camps & towns were built, mines were being excavated for its gold nugget deposits. JENNY: Wow, and this is a ghost town? ABIGAIL: Yes, its residents moved out once all the gold had been taken out of the mines and companies shut down their businesses. So...this is what is left. DEAD-EYE: Blow the man down. NICK: Is this the way buildings were constructed back then? ROBERT: This is what Main Street looked like in the 1800s with single-story wood frame buildings, wooden sidewalks, hitching posts to tie up your horses so they could rest, etc. Bucky and friends followed Professor Callaghan and Abigail into the ghost town as they walked down the center of Main Street glancing about at the well-preserved buildings on both sides of the street. They passed by the Saloon, General Store, Post Office, Bank, Jail, Hotel & Restaurant, Casino, Church, School, and other structures here and there. They were halfway down the street when a whooshing noise made them look up and there zooming towards them came a familiar red body-armored flying robot with its creator Hiro astride its back. Speeding along the dirt street was GoGo Tomago on her maglev wheels, Honey Lemon in her pink armored suit, Wasabi in his green armored suit, Fred in his Godzilla costume. FRED: Yo! What are you guys and gals doing here? ARIES: Just touring the sights. WASABI: Looks that way. HONEY: Bet you never seen a ghost town before. LUPE: No, can't say that we have. GOGO: So what brings the Autobots to the vicinity? JENNY: Triax and the Decepticons are inside a gold mine as we speak. HIRO: Huh? BAYMAX: I did not know this. ROBERT: That's what we found out from Judy Hops when she sensed the evil presence. BAYMAX: Oh no... HIRO: I wonder what Kahn wants with stealing gold nuggets anyway? It's not like he's hoping to strike it rich. That made his friends erupt into laughter then Bucky and gang joined in the mirth too as they visioned the funny scene. SALLY: So where are the mines anyway? BayMax activated his powerful sensors and began sweeping the area in all directions. Finally he spoke. BAYMAX: The mines are just ahead, up that incline among the trees. Follow me. Cautiously the Autobots followed BayMax with Big Hero 6 joining them. At last they came into a clearing and there in front of them was what appeared to be an entrance into darkness beyond. BAYMAX: These are gold mines that were in use long ago when miners dug out gold deposits within its shafts. Now all that's left are fool's gold deposits. BUCKY: Fool's gold? ROBERT: It's real name or term is iron pyrite which is worthless nuggets left behind that were not taken out and lost their value. SALLY: Oh my... BAYMAX: The Decepticons are somewhere inside the tunnels deep below the surface. However I do not know which shaft they are in at the moment. ARIES: Then let's blast their tails out of there. This baby should do the trick. Everyone stared in surprise. FRED: Holy cow! You're not going to... ARIES: It's the only way to stop Triax and horde dead in their tracks. GOGO: Oh great, let's blow up an abandoned gold mine for fun. NICK: Cool... Then the professor offered to go into the mines and look for Kahn and his horde. ROBERT: My great ancestors mined these tunnels long ago so it shouldn't be a problem. SALLY: And I have the best chance getting through. Hop in professor. Robert took his seat behind the steering wheel as Aries handed over the bomb explaining how it worked. ARIES: Once you set the timer you have 60 minutes to get out before detonation. ROBERT: No sweat. BUCKY: If there's any problems, get out of there. We'll find another way. ROBERT: There won't be any problems Bucky. This one is for both our worlds. Let's go Sally. SALLY: Hold onto your lunch box, here we go. END OF CHAPTER 3
