ROAD ROVERS TRANSFORMERS Y2K MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE PART 5 Annabelle was right. She had a bad feeling that something was going to happen. At that same moment, back at nWo headquarters, Pound was playing back the information he stole from RRMC for Belladonna to listen to. As the evil whippet listened to the recording, her face lit up with evil delight at the prospect of stealing more energy! RECORDING Sherman Dam is the largest in the western hemisphere. The hydroelectric powerplant has a capacity of 1-million, 50-thousand killowats. BELLADONNA Good work Pound. BLANKO But that's not enough electrical power to make the energon cubes. BELLADONNA Your knowledge is only overshadowed by your stupidity, MonStar! We are going to create a tidalwave. One that will send enough power surging through that dam, to make all the energon cubes we need. We attack the dam at sunrise! And so the following morning, the MonStars zoom across the skies towards the towering walls of the dam overlooking the town of Hill Valley below in the distance. Touching down on the banks of a river or stream which runs through HIDDEN VALLEY, the NWO get ready for action. BELLADONNA Pound, dispatch Nawt. POUND Nawt, activate piledrivers. Operation tidalwave. Grinning wickidly, almost smirking the midget alien dives beneath the water, swims to the bottom and starts banging away on the seafloor. Soon whitecaps start flowing madly downstream towards the dam as the witch cackles with anticipation. BELLADONNA It's working, hahahahahahahahaha, excellent! nWo, to the powerplant! While back at RRMC/HQ...An urgent message appears on the BIG SCREEN of the Master Computer Program. SPACE ACE There's some sort of trouble at Sherman Dam. Holy s***! A tidalwave! The power output's 10x normal! NINJARA Could be the MonStars alright, I'll tell Annabelle. Back at the dam which is starting to shudder and crack from the strain of water slamming into it from the other side and now overflowing, the workers inside the plant run in terror as the wall explodes inwards and the nWo stride inside. Bella hurls fireballs into the ceiling to get everyone's attention before announcing her presence to the terrified personnel before her. BELLADONNA I am Belladonna! Leader of the New World Order. You will do exactly as I say if you want to live. ANNABELLE Rovers, Fighters accelerate! BELLADONNA Blanko, prepare the null-ray. Alarms begin to shriek in protest, lights flashing as the gauges start rising dangerously above the RED LINE! PLANT BOSS We got to get out of here, she's going to blow! By now the water is rushing faster, over the dam and crashing down into the river below. Portions of the walls break off and crash down into the valley. However the witch has no concerns or feelings whatsoever about the loss of innocent life. All she wants is the stolen energy for her greedy needs. BELLADONNA Perfect. The electrical output is at its peak, precisely where I want it. Blanko! Activate the null-ray. Blanko blasts the generators, knocking them out of commission. BELLADONNA Pound, prepare the energon cubes. Pound once again creates the 3D cubes to be filled. Fat Cat, Cool Kitty & She-Lion attach them to the generators and they crackle and spark with lightning, the energy transferring into them. Bella looks on, afraid her cousin is going to show up any minute now and stop her again so she urges her goons to work faster. BELLADONNA Quickly, quickly! I want to be out of here before Anna and her angel-friends show up! Unfortunately the heroes have arrived. Screeching to a stop at the bank of the mad river, the Rovers and Fighters converge to human & canosapien forms and await orders from their leader. ANNABELLE We got to work fast. SARAH BRYANT You ah, think the MonStars didn't... Everybody turns to look and spots the witch standing high atop the roof of the powerplant, laughing and flipping the bird sign at them! BELLADONNA Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha! You're too late halo-head, nyah-nyah-nyyyyyyyaaah! ANNABELLE There's your answer Sarah. Rovers, Fighters, to the air! That leaves Ace and Hunter still standing before the swirling angry waters rushing at their feet. SPACE ACE Looks like the heart of the tidalwave is right here. HUNTER Only one way to find out. SPACE ACE Be careful Hunter! Swimming down, Hunter spots Nawt still pounding away on the floorbed of the river. The retriever gang-tackles him from the blindside and they begin to wrestle. Meanwhile Anna leads her troops into the powerplant to confront their enemy again. ANNABELLE Angels, to the powerplant! Meanwhile the MonStars finished filling and stacking the energon cubes as the witch issues more instructions. BELLADONNA Gather the energon cubes, return to base. ANNABELLE Stick it in neutral Bella! You're not going anywhere. BELLADONNA Try and stop me Anna! And once again the wargames commence. During the shootout with canosapiens, humans and mutants trading pot-shots at each other, popping up and down like targets, Doc Brown rushes into the plant to lead the frightened hostages to safety. DOC BROWN Hurry, follow me! This way! Up on a catwalk above the main workplace, we see a struggle taking place between Alethia VS Bupkus and Bang. Both aliens throw the spitz over the railing then double-team Colleen who tries fending them off with well-placed kicks & punches. Suddenly Alethia flips back over the railing onto the catwalk, unseen by both MonStars who have knocked Colleen down and are about to finish her off. ALETHIA Oh boys, yoo-hoo! BANG Huh? BUPKUS What-the? ALETHIA SUPRISE YOU ALIENS! IN YOUR FACE! Launching out, the spitz slams both MonStars in the faces & chests with the split akiedo double kick that flips both baddies over the side to the floor below. Laughing, she helps Colleen back to her feet again. COLLEEN Hahahahaha, for someone who dosen't like to fight, you're not bad Alethia. ALETHIA You're not so bad yourself, for a karate mistress. COLLEEN Hey-hey-hey, I'm black-belt expert! ALETHIA And I'm kung-fu black-belt pro myself! Belladonna prepares to sneak outside through an escape hatch onto the dam when Annabelle confronts her. Lashing out, the evil whippet backfists the good whippet off the walkway! Luckily Anna grabs onto the underside support strut just in time and hangs on as Bella giggles down into her angry face. BELLADONNA Tee-hehehehehehehmhmhmhmhmhm...any last words? ANNABELLE None you'd want to hear, witch! BELLADONNA Nothing can stop me now. Not even you! Simultanously, Blanko gets ready to launch his assault on the Rovers and Virtua Fighters. BLANKO So long you stupid dogs. Here's one super spitball special for you! Using a slingshot, he propels a glowing spitball directly into the Rovers who dive for cover. The projectile hits the computer terminal and explodes! Bella staggers from shockwave, recovers and screams down at her goons. BELLADONNA Oooooooooomph! Blanko you fool! Help save the energon cubes, get them out of here! Suddenly Anna climbs back onto the catwalk and bodyslams her cousin outside onto the dam where they begin brawling again. ANNABELLE You destroy everything you touch Belladonna! BELLADONNA Because everything I touch is food for my hunger, my hunger for power! ANNABELLE Never! I'm going to end your hunger once and for all. BELLADONNA Almost cousin, but almost dosen't get the job done. You can't stop me. ANNABELLE You're old, witch. Yesterday's model, ready for the scrap-heap. BELLADONNA We'll see who's ready for the scrap-heap, Aarrrrrrrgh! ANNABELLE Ha! Junk, that's what you are, junk! BELLADONNA SILENCE! Hahahahahahaha, when I get through with you halo-head, there won't be nothing left of you that will serve me. They continue wrestling each other. Down below by the riverbank, Ace is getting worried about his friend surfacing again. SPACE ACE Hunter! You all right down there? Hunter has been thrown against the far bank by Nawt who swims to the surface only to come face-to-face with Space Ace. SPACE ACE Hey, where's Hunter? NAWT Butt out, human! SPACE ACE Offmph! Why you! Bonzai! However he is no match for the MonStar alien who slams him back with more punches & kicks, knocking him into unconsciousness but not before he cries for help. His screams are heard by Anna who turns her head but as she does Bella whirls in a perfect roundhouse tornado kick, catching the angel-guardian squarely in the face! Annabelle gets knocked off the top of the dam and falls into the waters below as Belladonna cackles at her from above. BELLADONNA Who's the scrap-metal now Anna? You'll never stop me, hahahahahahaah! Annabelle is fighting for her life in the angry rapids, being swept downstream until Ninjara sees her in trouble and goes to her aid. NINJARA Boss! Use this for an emergency brake. Alright Anna, you did it! Meanwhile Ace sits up, groans and rubs his head. He then looks around again, only to discover Hunter has still not returned yet. SPACE ACE Hunter! You still down there? Swimming to the bottom, he spots the canosapien struggling to break free from a mudslide that has trapped him against the riverbank. Ace scoops away the mud and rocks, releasing the Rover. Clutching his throat, eyes bulging and gesturing frantically upwards, meaning he cannot hold his breath longer, Ace gets Hunter to carry him back to the surface again where the canosapien performs CPR to revive his friend. HUNTER Easy Ace, you almost flooded your engines. SPACE ACE Thanks G.I.Joe, you saved my... HUNTER Leave it, okay? You risked your life to save mine so I owe you one. Deal? SPACE ACE Deal. While back outside the powerplant, next to the dam which has calmed down now, no more rushing water surging through it now that the nWo are gone again, we see Anna and her troopers talking about the events so far... ALETHIA Maybe we should repair our ship, go back to San Francisco and forget about the MonStars. ANNABELLE We can't do that, Alethia. If Belladonna suceeds here, she'll be impossible to beat on Earth 2000. RITA But we're not fighters like they are, boss! ANNABELLE We must have courage Rita. We can't ignore the danger, we must conquer it. END OF PART 5
