TRANSFORMERS ALIENS IN DISQUISE
                            Divide And Conquer Part 5
 
    At the same time both James & Jessie try in vain to rally their friends not to quit or surrender to the pain they are enduring.
 
JESSIE ROCKET
    You can't fail.  Lyle Rourke, our planet.  The whole universe depends on us.
PAUL PHOENIX
    Hey lady, acid-storm disabled circuitry.
JAMES ROCKET
    No one is trully disabled as long as he or she has courage.
PAUL PHOENIX <Struggles to sit up>
    Ack, ugh, aaaaargh!  Well guys do we quit or fight?
DUKE NUKEM
    Maybe I still, ugh, have enough power left, ack!  To shield us from this killer rain. <He uses his morpher to create a glowing forcefield>
JESSIE ROCKET
    Way to go Duke!  Now your automatic repair systems can put you back in shape.
EDDY GORDO
    And while it works, I'll take care of our rainmakers.
 
    He fires his pulse smart gun skyward scattering the SkyHunters into retreat creating the deadly hailstorm which quickly dissipates then stops altogether.
 
PAUL PHOENIX
    Ahh, I never did like rain, acid or otherwise.
T.J. COMBO
    I'm really feeling better.  Like I just stepped off the assembly line.
JAMES ROCKET
    All right!  Let's stop talking and save Rourke.  Transform and roll for his life!
 
    The Rangers morph to their vehicular forms and Team Rocket hop into one of the monster trucks with the first aid kit.  Meanwhile Dahli Llama and She-Lion attempt to free themselves from the sticky situation or mess.
 
DAHLI LLAMA
    Don't strain yourself, I'll set us free. <He uses his powerstaff to melt the glue>
SHE-LION
    Ah, boss?  We got company again.
DAHLI LLAMA
    Oh no, <Can't believe eyes> the fools they're back.  They'll reach Earth as functional mechanisms!
 
    Alas however the shamen's valiant attempt to cut down the Commandos fails as the heroes escape into the doorway of the gateway portal and teleport back through the space-time continum to Earth.  Finally they emerge from the portal's doorway on the other side and race off at break-neck speed.
 
JAMES ROCKET
    Whew, but we still got to get this cosmotron back to Rourke.
JESSIE ROCKET
    How fast can you go Phoenix?
PAUL PHOENIX
    Hold onto your lunchboxes. <Jumps into high gear>
 
    Unfortunatly at Elite HQ it looks bad news.  Rourke's body lies motionless on the operating table as Oaks, Mrs. Ketchum & Ash look on sadly.
 
PROFESSOR OAKS
    I'm sorry Ash.  Sometimes nothing you do makes any difference.
ASH KETCHUM <Fights back tears>
    Commander Rourke, dead?
LEI WULONG <Sounds a warning>
    Teletran 1 security alarm.  We're under attack!
 
    Sure enough on the BIG SCREEN the image of the Syndicate can be seen coming in full speed towards them.
 
ORCHID
    The mutants, looks like all of them.  Not to mention the Cylons too.
NINA WILLIAMS
    Aww, we're doomed.  Without Rourke we're no match for the Empire.
ASH KETCHUM
    We can't go down without trying. <He grabs one of the Ranger's guns> Rourke would want us to go for it no matter what the odds.  Well, are you with me or do I have to fight this battle alone?
MRS. KETCHUM <Horrified>
    Son, you can't!
CHIP HAZARD
    But we can.  We got your message Ash.  Commandos transform!
 
    One by one the remaining Rangers morph to vehicle forms and ready themselves for mortal kombat.
 
JOSHUA SWEET
    Nitro and I will stay here to guard Rourke.
CHIP HAZARD
    Roll for it! <He leads the team outside>
 
    Minutes later the Elite are forming a permiter around their base looking for any signs of the approaching enemy.
 
BUTCH MEATHOOK
    Can you get a fix on the enemy's location Croft?
LARA CROFT
    Radar detects Syndicate in close proximity Butch.
ASH KETCHUM
    Forget the radar, here they come! <He points skywards>
 
    Diving down the mutants are about to annihalite the entire Elite forces.
 
ASH KETCHUM
    All right guys, let them have it! <Begins shooting>
ARCHER
    Take no hostages. <Landing he returns fire with his cannon>
MEWTWO
    Ravage eject. <Pops out the CD>
 
    The Terminator wolf sneaks up on Ash from behind but the grand master spots the T-800 closing in and confronts the machine.
 
ASH KETCHUM
    Ravage!  Bad kitty. <Shoots at it> Ooooofmph! <He gets knocked down as the machine pounces on him>
IVAN
    So ya wanna rumble with Ivan, eh??? <Shakes up the ground with quakes>
 
    The battle rages on but the Empire appears to be winning at the moment.
 
NINJARA
    We're expending too much energy.  We must conserve.
ARCHER
    Then I will end this party now. <He morphs to gun mode>
 
    Ravage is about to finish off Ash when headlights blind the Terminator and it runs off.  Ketchum is suprised and happy at the same time to see Team Rocket appear on-site inside Phoenix's vehicle form.
 
ASH KETCHUM
    Team Rocket!  Did you get the cosmotron?
JESSIE ROCKET
    Yeah!  I just hope we're not too late.
JAMES ROCKET
    Hurry, get in!
 
    They race off to the headquarters complex as TJ, Eddy and Duke pull up and morph to their humanoid forms.
 
T.J. COMBO
    There's still time for us to see some action.
NINJARA
    But not for long! <She shoots them down from above>
 
    Inside the emergency operations room...
 
PROFESSOR OAKS
    Where's that gizmo?
 
    Suddenly Phoenix pulls up to a stop.  Jessie, James & Ash jump out and deliver the cosmotron to Sweet who connects it to the life-support machine and starts the reviving process.  At the same time outside the base the mutants celebrate their victory over the beaten-defeated Rangers who lay sprawled around them.
 
ARCHER
    Heheahaha...we are victorious!  Is there anyone in the universe who will dare challenge the might of Archer.
LYLE ROURKE
    There is one Archer, I...Lyle Rourke challenge you!
 
    Shocked, startled everybody looks up to see the commander standing tall & proud surveying the scene before him.
 
KIP KILLIGAN
    Lyle?
HELGA SINCLAIR
    He lives?
LINK STATIC
    Our leader is back.
NINJARA
    He accepted your challenge leader.  The battle-code requires you two engage in combat, alone.
LYLE ROURKE
    Then it's just the two of us Archer.
 
    The gorgonyte agrees and launches the first assault.  Rourke retaliates or counter-attacks back and both leaders trade punches, kicks, headbutts, kneestrikes, etc.  Archer hits the ground hard and for a second or two or three cannot get back up again.
 
ARCHER
    I've used up too much magic against the Rangers.  I need assistance.
NINJARA <Sneers down at him>
    How unfortunate.  If you cannot fight your opponet yourself you are not fit to be our leader.  I am the only suitable leader anyway.
 
    Angered by this threat Archer jumps back up and attacks again.  But Rourke is ready and takesdown the evil leader of the Syndicate.  Then he plants one foot on his chest and levels his pulse laser pistol in the gorgonyte's face.
 
LYLE ROURKE
    Archer, do you surrender?
ARCHER
    Surrender for now, only for now.
NINJARA
    Retreat!  And take our leader back for repairs.
 
    All the Rangers whoop and cheer in triumph of their commander's victory over Archer.  At the same time Ash, Oaks, his mother and Team Rocket watch the departing mutants who vanish into the horizon.
 
JAMES ROCKET
    I guess that takes care of the Empire.
JESSIE ROCKET
    Good riddance I say.
ASH KETCHUM <Does not agree>
    Uh-uh, they'll be back.  I just know it.  They'll be back.
MRS. KETCHUM
    And we will always be ready to face them and defeat them.
PROFESSOR OAKS
    To save Earth and the universe forever.
 
                                        THE END
