TRANSFORMERS ALIENS IN DISQUISE
                            Fire In The Sky Part 5
 
    Unfortunately for the Rangers they fail to notice Laserbeak watching from above.  The machine parrot is shocked-startled to see that the Commandos, the ones Ninjara had asassinated are ALIVE!  He radios an SOS to his master who receives the incoming message and looks suprised at the news.  Then he whirls and throws an energon cube he was playing with which hits the lady fox squarely in the head.  Stunned by the blow she turns to confront her master.
 
NINJARA
    What on earth did you do that for?
ARCHER
    You disgust me.  You failed to terminate the Elite.
NINJARA
    What do you mean I failed?  Of course I killed them when Draco refused to obey my instructions so I punished her for disobeying direct orders and then carried out the asassination of the Commandos.
ARCHER
    Really? <Arched eyebrows, frowns> Well, Laserbeak has informed me they are still functional.  So how do you explain they are dead and then come back to life.
 
    For a moment, or two, or three...Ninjara ponders what Archer said to her and then it hits her with startling realization!  She had been tricked-fooled by one of the TombRaider's magic tricks into making her believe that the Rangers were dead when in reality they were pretending-faking their death-scene until she was gone and when the coast was clear Lara removed the hologram illusion of the dead Elite so they could try and save the life of Draco.
 
NINJARA
    Lara Croft's holograms, THEY TRICKED ME!
ARCHER
    But we shall not be fooled a second time.  Mutants, prepare to attack!
 
    Swooping out of their fortress the Syndicate morph to jet planes and after circling the perimeter of the hideout spot the enemy and attack!
 
NINJARA
    Rangers below, fire at will!
 
    Foxy, Kenny, Rhei, Leon, She-Lion & Ninjara dive down and blast away with bombs, missiles & laserbullets at the Rangers who scatter for cover.  All except Dr. Sweet who tries to drag Draco to safety.
 
JOSHUA SWEET
    C'mon man, get up.  I won't leave you. <He is shot off his feet and falls>
 
    Although the Commandos try shooting down the attacking planes it appears the mutants are easily avoiding the return fire.  That is until Rourke decides to even the score...take out the trash so to speak.
 
LYLE ROURKE
    Time for reinforcements. <Morphs to 18-Wheeler mode>
 
    Then he backs up, opens his trailer doors and positions AAA battery guns into range and opens up, lets rip with the Anti-Aircraft-Artillery.  Explosions go off around the jets as they swerve & dodge the deadly salvo but then one of the mutants is hit by several rounds and bursts into flames.
 
KENDO COYOTE
    Stabalizers hit!
NINJARA
    Can you pull out?
KENDO COYOTE
    Negative!  Mayday, mayday, I'm going down!
FOXY ROXY
    Noooooo! <Panics>
 
    Suddenly Kenny collides with Roxy and both jets out of control plunge nosefirst into the icy waters.  Rhei Rat, Prince Leon & She-Lion also take a severe beating themselves by the AAA fire and crash & burn too.  Rourke morphs back to humanoid form and shouts instructions to his soldiers to cover each other and watch out when Archer attempts to hit him from his blindspot.
 
LYLE ROURKE
    Not close enough Archer. <Whirls on him>
 
    But instead of firing his pulse laser pistol the Commander siezes a frozen piece of ice and wielding it like a sword swings the makeshift weapon at the gorgonyte striking his shoulder-wrist cannon knocking it off his body, disabling the gun.
 
ARCHER <Rubs shoulder & wrist from stinging blow>
    Interesting choice of weapons Rourke, but two can play that game.
 
    He grabs his own ice-sword and the two begin dueling like Peter Pan VS Captain Hook!  At one point Archer spinkicks Rourke flat on his backside and leaps in to stab him through the heart but Lyle is ready!  Spinning his ice-sword like a rotorblade he catches the flying gorgonyte warrior and flips him over his head and onto the ground.  Then backrolls onto his feet and readies himself for more.  But Archer on his hands & knees stares at his broken weapon then up at Rourke.
 
ARCHER
    Well done Commander.  But a pity you...LOST!
 
    Lyle does not understand what he means until he hears footsteps behind him and looks over his shoulder to see Draco standing there watching the whole fight scene curiously.  Archer calls to the dragon to carry out his orders to the letter.
 
ARCHER
    Draco, destroy Lyle Rourke.  Crush him and all the Rangers once and for all.
 
    However the dragon narrows her eyes & glares at the mutant leader and growls deep inside her body, smoke wafting from her nose.  Never again will she be told to kill innocent life-forms again.
 
DRACO
    I take no more orders from you! <She rips off the Syndicate symbol and cast it away> I am a Commando Ranger now! <Slaps Elite symbol onto her chest>
 
    Shocked by this betrayal Archer backs up but has nowhere to run as the dragon siezes him with her tail!  She lifts him screaming into the air in front of her leering face & bared teeth.  Then she catapaults him, throws him through the air like a football or basketball to crash onto the ice unconscious.  Ivan, MewTwo, Rhei Rat, SheLion, Leon, Kenny & Foxy rush to defend their leader's honor only to be swatted away by Draco's tail, her claws, and wings which she whips up tornado-like winds to knock down her enemy.  Suddenly laserbullets rip the ground around her feet and she looks up to see Ninjara strafing her from above.  Ducking her head the dragon misses the shots and the jet passes overhead.
 
NINJARA
    You're through Draco!
DRACO
    You forget Ninjara, I can morph too! <She changes into Soviet Gunship copter> Time to even the score...friend! <Goes in pursuit>
ASH KETCHUM
    Kick her in the tail Draco!
MRS. KETCHUM
    Take her apart!
 
    Ninjara searches for her so-called bodyguard to teach her a lesson she will never forget about betraying the Empire.
 
NINJARA
    Where are you traitor?  Show yourself!
DRACO
    Here I am, come and get me.
 
    Both aircraft hurtle towards each other in a deadly aireal game of CHICKEN!
 
NINJARA
    You shall pay for your treachery.
CHIP HAZARD
    They're gonna crash!
 
    But at the last second before the midair collision occurs the Hind (Another name for Russian gunship) banks sharply to one side and its spinning rotorblades shear into the fuselage of the F-16 Falcon.  Shrieking, screaming in pain the samauri falls helplessly into the ground and skids out of control until slamming into a snowbank to the cheers of the Rangers before they notice something wrong with their new ally who seems to be struggling to maintain airspeed & altitude.
 
LINK STATIC
    Draco's losing altitude.
BUTCH MEATHOOK
    What's she doing?
ASH KETCHUM
    She's trying to land.
DRACO <In pain>
    Ugh, just...one...last...blast!
 
    Suddenly she releases two missiles that flash away and detonate against a glacier that erupts into an avalanche!  The Hind hits the ground and slides to a stop directly into the path of the snowslide that buries the aircraft completely from view as the horrified Rangers look on.
 
ASH KETCHUM
    Draco, NOOOOOO! <Runs towards the danger>
 
    But it's too late.  Now the Elite stand over the spot where the mutant dragon lay down her life to protect others from harm.  Ash is crying, sniffling tears as his mother comforts him.  Rourke too assures him that all is not in vain.
 
LYLE ROURKE
    She risked everything to save us and the Earth.
ORCHID
    The energy drain has been stopped.
PAUL PHOENIX
    The Earth will heat up again.
EDDY GORDO
    And the Syndicate is defeated again.
ASH KETCHUM
    But Draco is, is gone.
LYLE ROURKE
    She won't be forgotten Ash, she will live forever.  So long as freedom exists. <Makes a vow> We shall remember you Draco.
ALL RANGERS
    WE SHALL REMEMBER YOU DRACO!
 
                                        THE END
