While Borf, Eggman and the Decepticons puzzled
over Laserbeak's disappearance, the Autobots and Freedom Fighters were
mystified.
ACE: I don't like it, when the Decepticons get
so interested in the ways of the Mobian and Overlander people. I don't think
they're planning on doing them any favors.
SALLY: Nicole, what do you
make of all this?
NICOLE: Not much for the moment Sally. Laserbeak was
following a Overlander vehicle to a small town outside Station Square. He saw
something on a hill, mistook it for radar or something.
SONIC:
Strange...<frowns> that raises more questions than answers.
TAILS: I
agree, partner. <also frowns>
ACE: A Decepticon like Borf would recognize
and understand a radar installation. Flash, can you fix Laserbeak's last known
coordinates from the signals?
FLASH: Yes sir brother. <salutes his
sibling>
The twin sibling used the light arts of magic as he searched
within his mind before awakening from his trance and said.
FLASH: The
town Nicole said Laserbeak passed through is known as Pallet Town which is part
of Station Square.
NICOLE: That's what I just said. <teases him
playfully>
SALLY: Hmmm...<leers with arms folded>
SONIC & TAILS:
<look at each other and shrug>
FLASH: The coordinates are laying among
the woods and hills just outside the town.
ACE: Right. Why don't you,
Tails and Sonic investigate since both of them know a lot more of their
Overlander neighbors. <Sonic and Tails nod>
FLASH: You got it. <again
salutes his sibling>
While that was happening...in the meantime Ash
Ketchum and Pikacu were outside playing with Hope Oaks as both teenaged kids
threw a super ball (rubberized toy) and the Pokemon mouse ran after it then
brought it back to be thrown again. Except this time however, Pikacu stopped as
he noticed something in the grass. He gestured excitedly to his master who ran
over.
ASH: What did you find, Pikacu?
PIKACU: Pica! <points at
audio cassette tape>
HOPE: Where did that cassette come from? <curious>
ASH: <picks it up> Doesn't look like one of my collections. There's no label
indicating what songs are on the Playlist.
PIKACU: Pica? <now looks
confused>
HOPE: Maybe your mother can make sense of it.
ASH:
Right, come on Pikacu, time to go inside again. <his pet follows him>
Inside his house the grand master checked in with his mother.
ASH: Mom,
look what Pikacu found.
DELIA: Oh, my. Where was it?
ASH: Lying in
the grass across the street from the house.
DELIA: I say, I don't know
who's tape this is. <frowns> If you found it and no one else claims it, then I
guess it's yours.
ASH: Thanks, mom. <takes it back from her>
DELIA: Lunch will be ready by noontime. Why don't you get the music ready for
the dance party tonight.
Ash nodded and headed into his bedroom and
dropped the cassette tape onto his bed, changed his mind and put it into a box
containing other Oldies-Pop cassette tapes before joining his mother for lunch
in the kitchen-dining room. While Flash Gordon, Tails and Sonic were on their
way, Borf, Tryax Kahn, Beerus and Dr Eggman had already reached Pallet Town.
Unseen by the Overlander citizens, the three Decepticons watched from a tall
hill. Gazing across from their vantage point, they saw the strange structure
reported by Laserbeak.
BEERUS: Confirm mechanical, confirm zero magnetic
response. Operation and function unknown at this time. Suggest Overlander energy
source.
BORF: These Overlanders are more advanced than I thought.
EGGMAN: Well what did you expect? <shrugs> That they are not equals to Mobians.
BORF: <scowls> Who asked you.
TRYAX: That makes them dangerous.
Destroy them while we have the chance.
EGGMAN: Good grief! <quotes
Charlie Brown>
BORF: Never! We are not allowed to harm Mobian or
Overlander people on this planet.
Meanwhile...Dr Wily stopped by the
Ketchum residence to carry a box of audio cassette tapes that Mrs Ketchum gave
to him.
DELIA: I bet there's going to be lots of people at the party
tonight.
WILY: Of course, Overlanders really dig Oldies music.
DELIA: I'm sure you'll bring them back so my son won't miss them.
WILY:
Not a problem. <salutes> Later, at-tah. <gets into his car and drives away>
Transformed into his vehicle form of Mercedes Unimog, Flash Gordon sped
along the roads with Sonic and Tails aboard. The blue tornado pilot and inventor
was studying the topographic map of Station Square and Pallet Town while the
fastest thing alive leaned his head out the open window enjoying the breeze
against his face. Late in the afternoon they entered Pallet Town then passed
through Main Street and into the open areas beyond where on a hill overlooking
the town-site stood a large windmill.
TAILS: Wow, that must be what
Laserbeak saw.
FLASH: Holy smokes! A windmill.
SONIC: Huh, you've
seen it before? <curious look>
FLASH: Affirmative. On my world in the old
days modern windmills used wind power to pump water and generate electricity or
grind corn too.
TAILS: Interesting...I never knew Overlanders would use
them like terran people do on Earth.
SONIC: Whatever...<rolls his eyes
looking bored>
FLASH: Oh, dear. Sonic feels bored already.
SONIC:
I heard that! <glowers then grins> Okay, I get it, just a harmless joke.
TAILS: <laughs>
Flash parked in a community park then let out his
passengers so they could scout around for a spell while he took a snooze in the
sun so to speak. Sonic and Tails followed a footpath leading up one of many
hills when they both stopped with alarmed looks on their faces! Directly ahead
of them, their backs turned to the friends were Borf, Beerus, Tryax Kahn and
Eggman.
TAILS: Oops, not good. <quotes Jack Sparrow>
SONIC: Great
Scott! <quotes Doc Brown>
Not wanting to be detected or sensed by the
dark arts they rushed back to Gordon who awoke suddenly when they blurted out...
TAILS: We saw the Decepticons, not far from here.
FLASH: Uh-oh, who
did you see?
SONIC: Borf, Beerus, Tryax and Eggman.
FLASH: Better
contact my brother ASAP. <they both nod>
Seconds later the voices of Ace
and Sally came through loud and clear.
ACE: What have you found?
SONIC: The Decepticons, only three of them have taken position overlooking
Pallet Town. There's no sign of Laserbeak.
SALLY: What do they want with
invading an Overlander town?
TAILS: They're interested in a windmill that
Laserbeak spotted moments ago. The machinery is built out of wooden material,
that's why there is no magnetic response.
SALLY: Stay where you are, Ace
and I are on the way.
ACE: Roger that, see you soon. <signs off>
