Immediately the family ran over to the wrecked Big Rig lying on its
side with its wheels spinning helplessly, worried or alarmed that their
leader was badly hurt or worse.
CHRISTOPHER
Big brother! You all right?
MARTY
It looks bad, Chris.
CHRISTOPHER
Grandpa, see if repairs are needed.
CHUCK THORNDYKE
Let's get him up on his wheels first. Okay everyone, pitch in and lift!
The humans and mutants begin to muscle the 18-Wheeler upright onto its
tires again which did not seem that difficult to muster since they were
using their morphers to help lift the heavy truck.
CHUCK THORNDYKE
Nephew, can you hear me?
ACE
Uuuuuuuh, oooooooh...(starts coming back around)
CHRISTOPHER
He's alive, yes!
ACE
Skynet, wh-what happened to him?
Seconds later the probe droid comes flying back out again
beeping-whistling-chirping meerily as if to say "I'm back!" which
brings relief to the others.
MARTY
Down but not out, he's one tough Freedom Fighter.
EMMETT BROWN
Son, can you still morph?
ACE
I-I'll try, dad...(attempts to transform back) I don't know if I can do it...I've almost got it...
Painfully he struggles to change himself back to human form while
occasionally crying out in pain due to the injuries he suffered while
his family looks on, cheering him on like cheerleaders.
ASH KETCHUM
Come on, Ace you can do it.
AMY ROSE
You got it, you got it!
KNUCKLES
Come on!
ACE
Aaaaaaaaagh!...Aaaaaaaaaah...ugh, there! (finally he changes back again)
Whoops and cheers erupt from all the Resistance members, glad to see
their leader is not dead or badly injured.
SALLY
Welcome back to the land of the living, boss.
TAILS
Yeah, that was some blast you took.
ACE (reacts in alarm)
Good grief! The blast, Steve and Sonic. They're still inside there.
(stares helplessly at cave-in)
All shocked heads turn to stare at the collapsed entrance of the mine.
Now it appears that there is no way to rescue their friends.
ANNABELLE
How are we ever going to rescue them under all that?
BUZZ LIGHTYEAR
Only one way, stand back!
The ranger of star command activates his wrist laser guns to blast away
at the rocks & boulders blocking the tunnel's mouth, turning the debris
into harmless stones.
ACE
Start digging! First one to find them call out.
With that the family begins searching through the debris to locate
Steve and Sonic if they are still alive and not dead from lack of air.
Suddenly a shout comes from nearby...it is Ketchum and Pickachu who
discover Reynard and Sonic inside an air-pocket beneath some collapsed
support timbers.
ASH KETCHUM
I found them, over here, they're alive!
PICKACHU
Pica! (which means "I found them too!")
STEVE REYNARD
Thank god! I thought we had it. (almost out of air)
SONIC
Help us out, okay?!
Carefully the pokemon grand master assists Sonic out into the open
while Tannen, Mcfly and Thorndyke junior help Steve out through the
hole and to safety. Immediately Vicki, Ceri, Aussie and Meredith run
over to hug-kiss-laugh and cry in welcoming back their friend.
ACE
Thanks to you two, the nWo are finished.
SONIC
Whoa, wait a second, not so fast, huh? We were almost finished too.
STEVE REYNARD
Doctor Brown wasn't kidding when he said it would blow in 60 mins.
EMMETT BROWN
Well, I'm always correct on my predictions though. At least you
survived the explosion enough to be rescued.
STEVE REYNARD
Yes, thank you, doctor brown.
ACE
With the Syndicate buried under all that debris, we can resume our
search for the resources we need.
ANNABELLE
And we can return home to Hill Valley?
EMMETT BROWN
Yes, genie...very soon.
At that moment a tremendous explosion shakes the ground like an
earthquake as the top of the mountain seems to blow apart with a shower
of flame & smoke and flying debris into the air causing the Freedom
Fighters scattering for cover.
Back inside the collapsed mine shafts the nWo forces stare up at the
hole in the ceiling created by Borf's infanto ray cannon and shout in
victory.
ROUGE
It worked, we're free!
SHADOW
We can get out!
BORF
We are indestructible. Power to the New World Order forever! (his
warriors shout the battle cry)
EGGMAN ROBOTNICK
Energon cubes still functional.
BORF
Take them and follow me, scramble! (he leads the way out through the
hole)
TO BE CONTINUED...
