TRANSFORMERS ALIENS IN DISQUISE
                            Transport To Oblivion Part 3
 
    Ash & Paul are now hostages to the Empire and about to embark on a dangerous mission against their wills.  Archer insists they help deliver the cargo through the gateway or die trying.
 
ARCHER
    Load the hostages. <Ash & Paul are strapped into the sled> You should be proud.
NINJARA <Closes canopy>
    Yes, you will go down in Alpha Prime history.
ARCHER
    Whether or not you sucessfully make it over the spacebridge. <Speaks into comlink> Archer calling Alpha Prime, come in my master.
PAUL PHOENIX
    How do we get out of this mess?
ASH KETCHUM
    By our good luck.
PAUL PHOENIX
    I didn't know terrans believed in luck.
ARCHER
    Prepare for test run #2.
PAUL PHOENIX
    I'm sorry Ash...it looks like we've run out of time.
ASH KETCHUM
    So has Archer, look! <He points out windshield>
PICKACHU <Reacts in alarm>
    Piccaaa!
 
    The doorway to the dome closes shut before the sled can be engaged to travel into the portal.  Alarmed the gorgonyte calls off the test.
 
ARCHER
    Test run #2 abort!
 
    Once again the storm effects start up again with howling winds, darkening skies, booming thunder, flashing lightning.  Again the laser beam rises into the BLACK VOID and vanishes from sight.  Back on Alpha Prime Dahli Llama watches the doorway open to again reveal NOTHING INSIDE!  Again his apprentice radios in with a request.
 
ARCHER
    When can the bridge be reopened?
DAHLI LLAMA
    Within another 60 minutes or 1 hour.
ARCHER
    Another 60 mins?  This is intollerable!
ASH KETCHUM
    I wish our luck would change.
PAUL PHOENIX
    Change?  That's it.
 
    Morphing to his monster truck form the street fighter smashes through the glass canopy freeing both himself and Ketchum.  They start running for freedom.
 
ASH KETCHUM
    We're free!
PICKACHU
    Yaaaaaaaay! <Runs after his master>
NINJARA
    They're escaping!
ROBOTNICK
    Ravage eject, operation capture.
 
    Releasing the Terminator wolf the mad doctor instructs his mechanical pet to pursue the escaping hostages.  Ash trying to escape trips and falls flat on his face then as Phoenix spins around and races back to rescue him Ravage blocks his path growling fiercely.  Ketchum shouts to the monster truck.
 
ASH KETCHUM
    Don't worry about me Paul, wheel out!
 
    Phoenix starts racing away then stops to look back again.  Again Ketchum orders him to leave, get help from his friends.
 
ASH KETCHUM
    GO! <Waves frantically>
ARCHER
    Destroy the Commando! <Begins firing his cannon>
 
    Phoenix is now being chased by Ninjara, Randall & MewTwo in jet modes as the 3 mutants divebomb the fleeing monster truck trying to strike it down but Phoenix takes evasive manuvers weaving back and forth making a moving target, impossible for the enemy to hit.  He ducks into a nearby cave for hiding and waits until the planes zoom overhead firing their laser guns but cannot locate their prey and dissapear or so Phoenix believes.
 
PAUL PHOENIX
    I hope Ash is Ok but I should not have left him alone. <Morphs to humanoid form> Maybe there's another way out of here.
 
    Looking up he notices an opening at the ceiling of the cavern and starts climbing his way to the top.
 
PAUL PHOENIX
    Looks big enough. <Then his head emerges into the clear> Uh-oh...
 
    Sneering down at him are Randall, MewTwo and Ninjara with their pulse guns leveled in his face.
 
NINJARA
    My magic will keep you quiet awhile. <She lets him have it>
 
    The vixen scores a direct hit striking Phoenix in the face who cries out in shock then topples onto his backside.  It is then that Archer steps forwards.
 
ARCHER
    Good work samauri.
MEWTWO
    Lord Archer.
NINJARA <Glares, arms folded>
    What are you doing here?  I told you I could deal with this Commando myself.
ARCHER
    You are not to be trusted Ninjara, now get out of my way! <Knocks her aside>
 
    Kneeling over the prone figure the gorgonyte mind-melds with Paul's brainwaves to put him under his spell.
 
ARCHER
    Once I've altered his memory, he will lead the Elite to their doom.
 
    Meanwhile back at HQ the other Commandos and Mrs. Ketchum are worried about the failure of Ash & Phoenix returning from their spy mission.
 
MRS. KETCHUM
    Something's happened to my son and Phoenix.  We gotta get...<Startled by approaching engines> Huh?
 
    She whirls around to see the approaching form of Gravedigger who races up and skids to a stop then morphs to humanoid form.
 
MRS. KETCHUM
    Paul?!  Where's my son?
PAUL PHOENIX <Frantic>
    Ash was captured by the Syndicate.  They're going to send him to Alpha Prime over, over some kind of spacebridge.
LYLE ROURKE <Curious>
    A spacebridge?
MRS. KETCHUM <Afraid>
    Wait a minute!  No one is sending my boy anywhere!
LYLE ROURKE
    Do not fear madame.  We shall rescue your son. <Turns to Phoenix> What is the location of this bridge?
 
    As Phoenix replies the information he gives is FALSE!  That's because Archer is controlling his mind to lie, lead his friends in the wrong direction to where the gateway is not.
 
PAUL PHOENIX
    The bridge?
LYLE ROURKE
    Yes?
PAUL PHOENIX
    The bridge is located inside a cave, 100 miles from the main highway.
MRS. KETCHUM
    And Ash, is he there too?
PAUL PHOENIX
    Yes, Ash is in the cave too, unharmed.
LYLE ROURKE
    Then there's no time to waste.  We must go to the cave and destroy this spacebridge immediately.  Roll out!
 
    Morphing to Big Rig form the leader of the Elite leads his troops in a daring rescue mission to save their comrade.  Unfortunately for the Commandos they were unaware that Laserbeak was recording the entire conversation and now zooms back to Empire headquarters beneath the ocean to which the sunken warship has been converted into a undersea base.  Returning to its master the parrot morphs back to audiocassette form and Robotnick inserts it into his portable player then approaches his boss.
 
ROBOTNICK
    Laserbeak report. <Hits PLAY button>
 
    Rourke's voice comes over the speakers as he orders his soldiers to rescue their doomed partner before all is lost.  The look on Archer's face is evil glee.
 
LYLE ROURKE
    Then there's no time to waste.  We must go to the cave and destroy this spacebridge immediately.
ARCHER
    And we'll have a BIG SUPRISE waiting for them when they arrive.
 
    Within seconds the convoy stands before the entrance leading into the cave.
 
LYLE ROURKE
    Strange, no guards.  Paul, are you certain this is the right cave?
PAUL PHOENIX
    The spacebridge is inside.
T.J. COMBO
    Paul is never wrong sir.
LYLE ROURKE
    Very well, Commandos transform. <Everybody morphs> And move in!
 
                                        END OF PART III
