Big guy and rusty the boy robot #50 Omega Machina

 

Big guy is the property of Darkhorse comics and Tri-star.

 

Previously on big guy and rusty the boy robot…

 

“What happened!?” Thornton yells back at the base.

 

The console beeps and Thornton turns it on.  The dark figure appears on screen.

 

“Did you order the genocide of those people?” Thornton demanded.

 

The figure smiles and nods.

 

“Did you really think we would let them live after what their brethren did?” The figure responds.

 

“You used me you son of a bitch!  Dwayne trusted me!” Thornton yells.

 

The man laughs and Thornton punches the screen.  Suddenly the door comes smashing through.  Dwayne bursts into the office.

 

“YOU SET THOSE PEOPLE UP DIDN’T YOU!?” Dwayne screams.

 

“I had no idea.  Someone else used me to get at them.  If I had known…” Thornton says.

 

Something inside Dwayne snaps and he rushes Thornton.  He shoves Thornton backwards really hard.  A look of horror comes over Thornton’s face as he flies backwards crashing through the back window.  He falls out and down to the ground 3 stories up.  His body hits the ground in slow motion as bits of glass hits the ground and breaks.


Soldiers surround Dwayne and medical officer pick up Thornton.

 

“YOU SON OF A BITCH!” Dwayne screams.

 

The medical officers put Thornton on a stretcher.  His eyes look up at the sky, almost lifeless.

 

An ambulance races down the street.  Inside paramedics are cleaning up Thornton’s wounds.  He still stares at the ceiling.  Suddenly the heart monitor goes flat line.

 

“Damn!  Resuscitate.” A paramedic yells.

 

Another man sets up the machine and prepares the paddles.

 

“Clear!” The man yells.

 

Thornton’s body arcs up but the monitor stays flat.

 

“Clear!” The man yells.

 

Thornton’s body arcs up again in slow motion.  Finally a slow beep sounds from the monitor.  The man wipes his forehead.

 

“Dwayne.” Thornton says weakly then loses consciousness.

 

And now the continuation…

 

A bunch of helicopters are flying over the ruins of the neo machina base. Below someone is setting something. He rushes away as it blows up. A hole is revealed and some large object is down in it. A large winch is lowered and attached to the object. The object is then raises revealing it to be a massive robot.  Meanwhile in a secret office the dark figure is watching it.

 

“Sir the object has been retrieved.” A man says over the radio.

 

“Excellent.  Finally I will have the power I need to destroy all threats.” The figure says.

 

Thornton finally regains consciousness.  He looks around.

 

“Where am I?” Thornton asks.

 

The nurse sees him and gasps. 

 

“Doctor!” The nurse yells.

 

The doctor rushes inside and is shocked to see Thornton consciousness and aware.

 

“What happened?” Thornton asks.

 

“We aren’t sure of the details but we were told you fell 3 stories.” The doctor says.

 

Flashes of what happened go through Thornton’s head.

 

“Dwayne.” Thornton says.

 

“Yes and we have him in custody right now.” A voice says.

 

Thornton looks up weakly and notices a general standing in the doorway.


”He will pay for what he did.” The general says.

 

Thornton shakes his head.

 

“Thought I betrayed him.  Wasn’t totally unjustified.  Need him more as a pilot right now.” Thornton says weakly.

 

“Nobody but nobody tries to kill a general and gets away with it.” The general says.

 

“Let him go.” Thornton says.

 

Thornton coughs.

 

“I’m sorry but you will have to leave.” The nurse says.

 

The general frowns and leaves.  Meanwhile the large robot is set down near a base.  The dark figure steps out of the shadows revealing at last his identity, the admiral from the war room. 

 

“Is this it?” The admiral asks.

 

“Affirmative sir.  Completely intact.” A soldier says.

 

“It’s more beautiful than I imagined.” The admiral says.

 

The admiral laughs.

 

“To think those Neo Machina guys thought they were going to use it against us.” The admiral says.

 

The soldier hands over a small device to the admiral.  He stands back and pushes a button on it.  The robot comes to life.

 

“Robot designation Omega online.  Ready for orders.” The robot says.

 

The admiral smiles.

 

“Did you upload the signal?” The admiral asks.

 

“Yes sir.” The soldier acknowledges.

 

“These are your orders.  You have data on identifying Neo Machina robots.  I want you to hunt down any remaining ones and destroy them.” The admiral orders.

 

Omega starts to move slowly.  Suddenly its boosters activate and it takes off for the city.

 

“I should of known the little bastards still had members in the city.” The admiral comments.

 

Omega reaches the city and starts targeting people who are running away in fear. 

 

“No match.  Signal nearby.” Omega says.

 

It approaches the manhole where the exiled used to live by.  Down underground the leader is moping.  He looks up when the ground shakes violently.

 

“What the?” The leader asks.

 

Suddenly a huge fist smashes through the ground and grabs him.  The leader screams out.

 

The admiral appears in a helicopter.  He smiles when he sees the leader.

 

“That’s it.  Crush him now!” The admiral orders.

 

The leader gets a scream out before the big fist crushes him.

 

“Excellent.  Keep it up.” The admiral says.

 

Suddenly Omega turns towards him, startling him.  It rises up its cannon.

 

“What do you think you are doing?” The admiral demands, the color draining from his face.

 

The weapon powers up.

 

“I’m not Neo Machina!” The admiral screams.

 

Suddenly the cannon powers down and Omega turns away.

 

“Another program detected.  Conflicting orders.” Omega says.

 

“I thought the signal would erase over the other signal.” The admiral says angrily.

 

“It should of.” An officer says over the radio.

 

Meanwhile at the hospital Thornton gets his laptop.  He pulls up a dossier on somebody.

 

“Name Tom Janey.  Rank Admiral.  Time in service 50 years.  Current status, being investigated for charges against him.” A voice over the computer says.

 

Thornton frowns.

 

“What charges?” Thornton asks.

 

“Reported to push soldiers too hard leading to many questionable deaths.” The voice says.

 

Thornton scrolls down to something that catches his attention.

 

“30 years ago he was part of a special group of soldiers that were sent in to stop a country that was stockpiling weapons.  He was their commander.  Their orders were to stay low and avoid violence.  Only to find out what kind of power they had.  But Tom had another idea.  To take out this power before it became unstoppable like so many in the past.  He led his team on an assault against the main weapon creation facility.  The only one that made it was Tom who was captured.  Officially nothing is known what was done to him but the word is that he was tortured.  He was never the same again.  He still was a good officer but every once in a while he would go too far and often a lot of lives were lost because of that.” Thornton reads.

 

Thornton’s eyebrows arc at the mention that he has reported to show signs of paranoia lately.

 

Back in the city Tom is fighting the remote control trying to get omega to do as he says.

 

“Get them all.  They all must pay!” Tom yells.

 

Omega spins around quickly in confusion.  Suddenly the remote control explodes in Tom’s hand.  He yells in surprise.  Only one word is spoken by Omega before all hell breaks loose.

 

“Revenge”

 

Omega raises its weapon and fires on the helicopter.  Tom barely gets out a scream before the copter is vaporized.  Omega starts to spin around sending shock waves of explosive sound.  Everything around in the air is knocked down violently.

 

“Air superiority is achieved.” Omega says.

 

Back at the hospital Thornton turns on the TV.  An urgent news report is airing.

 

“A unknown giant robot is attacking the city.  All air units have been knocked down by a strange attack.” The reporter says.

 

The color drains from Thornton’s face.  He pulls out a communicator. 

 

“We’re going to need both Bogy’s.” Thornton says.

 

He calls up the military base where Dwayne is being held.

 

“I order you to release Lt. Hunter immediately.  He is needed.” Thornton says.

 

But suddenly another voice comes over.

 

“I’m sorry but that isn’t possible.  He is being held and I will not release him.” The general says.

 

“Listen to me.  The city is in danger and we need both BGY’s.  Dwayne is the only one that can pilot the other.” Thornton says.

 

“Dwayne is a smoking gun waiting to go off again and I don’t want that to happen.  If he goes off in the BGY then he could be worse than any threat to the city.” The general says.

 

“We don’t have any choice right now.  Do you want to be responsible for the destruction the robot will cause?” Thornton asks.

 

The general sighs then says something that Thornton can’t hear. 

 

“Okay I’ve ordered his release.” The general says.

 

A chopper soon arrives at the Darkhorse.

 

“Here’s what we know so far.  The armor is made of something we have never seen before and we doubt most weapons can penetrate it.  The only weapons we have seen so far of it’s own is a cannon and some kind of a spinning sound shockwave attack.” Mack says.

 

Dwayne looks at the screen and the picture.

 

“Doesn’t look so tough.” Dwayne smirks.

 

Diana appears next to him.

 

“So what’s the plan?” Diana asks.

 

Mack sighs.

 

“Since there doesn’t seem to be any weaknesses, there really isn’t one.  You need to try though before it does some real damage.” Mack responds.

 

“Sounds like old times.  I’m sure we can think of something.” Dwayne smiles.

 

Diana starts to head for the bgy-11 but Dwayne stops her.  He points to the bgy-12.

 

“I just want to pilot it once more for good ol times.” Dwayne says.

 

Diana smiles and they get docked.

 

“Good luck.” Mack says.

 

They both launch and head for the city.

 

“SO where is it?” Diana asks.

 

Dwayne looks at the city and sees smoke rising.

 

“Follow the destruction.” Dwayne responds.

 

They soon come in visual contact with Omega.

 

“Target sighted.” Dwayne reports.  The two land on the ground near Omega.

 

Dwayne slams both sticks forward and the bgy-11 slams into Omega.  The impact doesn’t even faze Omega and he quickly spins around, knocking the two to the ground.

 

“Surrender or I will have to destroy you.” Big guy says.

 

Omega responds by creating a huge energy whip out of nowhere.  The whip grabs big guy’s left arm.

 

“Is that your final answer?” Big guy asks.

 

The whip electrifies.  Dwayne launches the missiles at Omega but they do nothing.  Dwayne aims at the holster of the whip and fires again.  But still no good.

 

“Computer scan for any weaknesses.” Diana says.

 

“No weakness found.” Computer responds.


Suddenly the whip is violently ripped back.  Dwayne looks in horror as the left arm severs from the main body and falls to the ground useless.  Dwayne hits a button and the cannon appears.  The cannon fires but still don’t do any good.

 

“It’s no use.  Nothing can penetrate its armor.” Dwayne says.

 

Suddenly the whip cuts through the bgy-11.  It barely misses Dwayne who looks down in shock.  The two halves fall to the ground.

 

“Dwayne!” Diana yells.

 

Suddenly Omega turns towards the bgy-12.

 

“They’re going to be destroyed!” Rusty yells watching the action at Quarks.

 

Slate looks on shaking her head.

 

“I have to help them!” Rusty yells.

 

Slate isn’t able to stop him before he can take off.

 

“Hypersonic!” Rusty yells.

 

Rusty flies up and out.

 

“Rusty…be careful.” Slate calls out.

 

Rusty approaches Omega.  As soon as Omega sees him it goes haywire.

 

“Target found.” Omega says.

 

Suddenly the whip attaches itself to Rusty and strings him up.

 

“Help!” Rusty yells.

 

Suddenly a barrage of missiles and the main weapon hits on Omega hard.

 

“You’ll have to go through me if you want him.” Big guy jr. says.

 

Suddenly Omega raises it’s main cannon and fires on big guy Jr.  Diana is caught off guard and isn’t able to dodge the blast.  Omega flies away with Rusty in its whip.  When the smoke clears most of the armor of the bgy-12 is missing.  Diana quickly ejects and watches as the remains explode.

 

“Dwayne!” Diana yells.

 

Diana rushes towards the remains of the bgy-11.  She pulls through the wreckage and finds Dwayne.  She pulls him out and notices he is unconscious.

 

“Dwayne!” Diana yells.

 

She finds no heartbeat and begins CPR.

 

“1..2..3..4 come on Dwayne.  Don’t die now.” Diana says then does mouth to mouth.

 

“1..2..3..4….

 

To be concluded…

 

Next time with both BGY’s destroyed and with Rusty captured what hope is there left for the city?  The exciting climatic conclusion.
