Road Rovers TransFormers 2015 Chapter 4 Fire In The Sky By Scott Space Ace Oliverson "This story includes the newest member of the Road Rover Alliance, but before that he was a member of the Empire...his name is BANDIT!" (Scene begins during a sudden snowstorm in Russia, 1918. Princess Anastasia walks outside in the winter wonderland to gaze about at the landscape scenery when she notices what looks like a giant snowman standing in front of her) ANASTASIA Wow...that's the biggest looking snowman I've ever seen. ALETHIA Hehe, not snowman your highness, snow-Rover! (Suddenly Alethia shakes herself loose of snow covering her canosapien body which falls onto Anya knocking her down) ALETHIA And the flurries in a hurry. ANASTASIA Awww, thanks Alethia. I get the drip. ALETHIA Hahahahaha! (Now the princess notices the other rovers sneaking up on them, snowballs in their hands ready for WARGAMES!) ANASTASIA Okay projectiles ready, FIRE! (Everyone begins throwing snowballs back and forth at one another. As Alethia ducks behind a huge mound of snow the balls smack harmlessly into the overhang above her as the rover laughs tauntingly) ALETHIA Ahahahahahaaaaaah! Hey guys that's snow fair! ANASTASIA Colleen watch out for Blitz! BLITZ Alright princess you squeal on me, here's a splat on you YA! (Blitz throws snowball at Anya, it strikes her and knocks her head over heels causing human to tumble into a snowball herself which crashes into the other canosapiens sending them sprawling like ten-pins. Getting to her feet and brushing the snow off her clothes Anya chuckles) ANASTASIA Heheahaha, I can't believe I'm having a snowball fight, in August in the middle of the desert, it's amazing. MASTER And perhaps dangerous. Robot activate all weather satellite information, give me a world-wide weather report. LOST IN SPACE ROBOT TEMPERATURES NOW 5 DEGREES BELOW ZERO AND FALLING RAPIDLY...DANGER WILLIAM SHEPHERD...DANGER!...ENTIRE PLANET FREEZING...DANGER! MASTER The heat energy from the earth's core is somehow being drained away. DOC BROWN Great Scott! General Parvo and the Empire. I suspect they are behind this disaster Whohoa! (Somewhere in the Artic Circle...The Terrakors are busy draining power from a crystal shaft that was blasted out of the ground) GROOMER Teleblasting complete, lay in the new pipes! (Kaltag attaches pipe connectors to crystal which begins pumping the energy down underground as Groomer looks on with glee) GROOMER Soon tons of energon cubes will be filled to capacity. (Deep beneath the surface is a hidden base where the Terrakors are collecting and storing energon cubes while the operation is being observed by Parvo and Belledona) BELLEDONA All is proceeding on schedule my general. Locating the crystal shaft in the earth's core was the hard part, but pumping the energy back out is more easier than we had expected. GENERAL PARVO Soon this entire planet will freeze into an icy tomb. And we shall return to the future with enough energon cubes to dominate the universe. (Deep inside a cavern Steele is pounding away at some ice-walls but he is having problems as Carmen SanDiego observes) CARMEN SANDIEGO Problems Steele? Is the big bad ice too tough for you? (Snarling the husky canomutant bully slams both fists into the wall one last time causing a shockwave to roll through the cavern. Carmen caught off-balance screams and falls onto her ass.) STEELE Run for it! Avalanche! (Unfortunately both baddies nearly get buried in a slide of ice and snow. Popping back to the surface they notice something or someone frozen alive inside a ice-wall) STEELE What's that? CARMEN SANDIEGO Something's frozen in the ice. (At that the whippet canomutant sorceress enters and scowls at her troops) BELLEDONA Why are you standing around like you're having a coffee break? There's work to do! CARMEN SANDIEGO W-we found something! (Then the cyborg walks into the cavern) GENERAL PARVO So you did...Belle, I want a clearer look. BELLEDONA You shall have it leader. (Using her black magic the witch begins to melt the ice encasing the mutant creature within as Parvo studies it closely) GENERAL PARVO It appears to be a mutant animal of unknown species. With his size and strengh he will make an excellent Empire goon. (Meanwhile back at Mission Control...) LOST IN SPACE ROBOT AN UNKNOWN ENERGY EXPENDITURE IN THE ARTIC CIRCLE... (Skynet the hover-cam passes over a glowing green object which makes a humming sound then dissapears) ANASTASIA What's that wierd light that SkyNet just passed over? (Manipulating controls Doc Brown brings the hover-cam back into focus over the object as the robot speaks up) LOST IN SPACE ROBOT TEMPERATURE STILL FALLING AT FAST PACE...DANGER...DANGER! MASTER Aha then we found the source of earth's problem. ALETHIA Maybe it's just some freak accident of mother nature. LOST IN SPACE ROBOT EMPIRE ACTIVITY SIGHTED...DANGER WILLIAM SHEPHERD...DANGER! MASTER If we don't stop Parvo and his goons, this earth is doomed. Protectons, transform and roll out! (With that the Alliance Rovers and their human allies change or morph into their cars and trucks disquises and speed away) ANASTASIA Artic Circle here we come! (Later back inside the underground base the Terrakors are trying to revive or operate on the frozen body of the mutant which is a fox!) GROOMER Whatever it is, being on ice kept it fresh. CARMEN SANDIEGO Not good, life vital signs still down. BELLEDONA Then give him electric-shocks to jumpstart his heart again. (Borf begins shocking creature with the paddles as Parvo speaks up) GENERAL PARVO Belledona why are you so concerned about this creature? BELLEDONA Because I knew him once, a long time ago in Hill Valley. Again, this time a million volts! BORF But that might kill him, oh what the heck if you insist witch. HERE GOES! (Borf uses his Infanto Ray to shoot laser beam into mutant's chest and just then his heart begins beating again, pulse rate starts coming back up, etc. Belle looks on with satisfaction) BELLEDONA He's alive again! GENERAL PARVO You knew him? BELLEDONA His name is Bandit. Observe his history as it was recorded long before his icy imprisonment. <3-D hologram flashes into view.> Bandit and I were both explorers from the future. GENERAL PARVO That must've been shortly before our final falling out with the Alliance. BELLEDONA Yes! Bandit and I were both exploring what was an uncharted planet at that time. This one, earth in the prehistoric past. We detected no intelligent life on the surface but Bandit insisted we look closer. A sudden wind-shear microburst came up suddenly and Bandit and I were both seperated. I circled half the globe searching for him, but he was gone. GENERAL PARVO And now millions of earth-years later, you've found him again. (Suddenly Bandit begins to breathe or groan. Eyes slowly open and he looks around in confusion) BANDIT Wh-what happened? Whe-where am I? Belledona! It's you. You've rescued me but where am I? This is not Hill Valley is it? BELLEDONA No! This is earth 1918 in the early 20th Century where you crashed many years ago. (Bandit is still puzzled as the cyborg approaches him) GENERAL PARVO I am General Parvo Bandit. Supreme leader of the Empire. We are on this planet to collect the energy we need to revitalize Hill Valley and conquer the universe. And the Alliance Road Rovers are now our enemies. (Minutes later the General gives Bandit a iron-on decal patch resembling a skull with lightning bolts passing through its head forming a "X") GENERAL PARVO And with this symbol. You Bandit become a new member of the Terrakor forces. Hail the future! (Bandit raises hand in salute to his dark master) BANDIT Hail the future. GENERAL PARVO And destruction to all Protectons! BANDIT De-d-Destruction? GENERAL PARVO Put him on guard patrol. BANDIT Are you proud of being a warrior than a scientist witch teacher? BELLEDONA YES! It is far more interesting. And one day I, not Parvo will lead us. And then you will be my 2nd in command. BANDIT I am grateful for you freeing me from my tomb of ice. I shall try to repay you in anyway I can, I am in your debt my mistress. (Moments later the fox canomutant begins marching his sector around the perimiter when he notices something coming) BANDIT Something's approaching from the south. Several strange looking vehicles. Earth mechanisms perhaps. It seems the time has come for me to make the change from science to war. MASTER We are nearing the location of the energy drain. (Suddenly Anya notices somebody blocking the way directly ahead) ANASTASIA Hey who is that?! BANDIT Halt! Who goes there? Identify yourselves or I will shoot! MASTER Alliance, transform! (Rovers and humans change back into their true forms. Startled Bandit stares at these newcomers) BANDIT Alliance?! You must be destroyed! Destruction to all Road Rovers! (Suddenly he starts shooting. Canosapiens begin ducking and running for cover. So too do Anya and Dimitri!) DIMITRI Hit the ice honey he's gonna fire again! (Anya suddenly slips and falls off ice into the water!) ANASTASIA Dimitri HELP! (Princess is floundering in the water trying to keep head above and also get back onshore without freezing. Dimitri runs to help his wife) DIMITRI Grab hold princess hurry! (He manages to rescue Anya just in time. But then Bandit accidentally hits the ice they're standing on which breaks away and begins floating) ANASTASIA We got to get back to land! (But before she can jump, Dimitri grabs her arm) DIMITRI NO! It's too big a jump. Unless one of the rovers rescues us we're lost. ANASTASIA Master! Space Ace! somebody help us! DIMITRI HURRY! (Turning Jeff and Spirit notice both russians waving franticaly and shouting) SPIRIT Anya and Dimitri! They need us. JEFF We can't move while that big guy's got us pinned down. ANASTASIA HELP! BANDIT Strange voices, coming from earth-creatures. Must help them, communicate with them. (Bandit levitates himself onto the iceberg. Dimitri and Anya back away in terror but the fox canomutant lowers his rifle and raises both hands in the peace gesture) DIMITRI Don't you dare touch us you terrorist. ANASTASIA Stay away from us, please. DIMITRI HELP WILLIAM SHEPHERD! BANDIT Why are you so frightened? I will not harm you. ANASTASIA Then why are you wearing the Terrakor symbol?! BANDIT Only the evil Protectons may fear me. ANASTASIA The Road Rovers are not evil they're good! They're fighting to protect our planet and all us humans. DIMITRI She's right. You Empire baddies are the real monsters! BANDIT No, no that's not true! I prove we are not evil. I'll take you to Parvo my leader. He'll show you that you have nothing to fear, I give you my word of honor no harm will come to you. (Helplessly Anya and Dimitri are forced to follow Bandit off the iceberg, onto shore and away...Just as Anabelle raises her gun she is stopped by Doc Brown) DOC BROWN No! You might hit the princess and her husband. We must find another way to rescue them. MASTER If there is another way... END OF PART 1 Alethia (c) Kylen Miles Spirit (c) Connie Smernos
