Previously
on Big guy and rusty the boy robot…
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….
Omega
continues to fly away from the city with Rusty. Suddenly a bunch of military planes appear and fire on him.
“Drop the
boy robot now!” A pilot orders.
Omega
responds with his shock wave attack, knocking all the planes down. Meanwhile the ninja is watching it all. He pulls back his hood revealing a robotic
face.
“I have
searched for who I am and why I came into existence. I know who I am and what I must do now.” The ninja says.
And now
the conclusion…
“1..2..3..4
come on buddy.” Diana says.
Suddenly
Dwayne coughs and slowly gets up.
“What
happened?” Dwayne asks.
He looks
around at the wreckage.
“Omega
destroyed both robots. We are
defenseless now.” Diana responds.
Diana
takes out her communicator.
“This is
Lt. Masterson calling Mack at the pit.” Diana says.
“I’d ask
you how it went but sensor readings, or I should say lack of them tell me
already.” Mack says grimly.
“The
robot’s armor proved to be impervious to all of our weapons. The bgy-11 was cut in half and left arm
ripped off. The bgy-12 completely
destroyed.” Diana reports.
“Then it’s
over. We have nothing left to attack
that thing with.” Thornton’s voice says.
A few
moments of tense silence follow.
“I’m
sending a helicopter to pick you too up and to retrieve anything it can from
the bgy-11. Any kind of data might help
us figure a way to stop this thing.” Thornton says.
“Affirmative.”
Diana says.
She
remembers something suddenly.
“Oh my god
Rusty. The robot took Rusty.” Diana
says.
“What?”
Thornton asks shocked.
“It used a
energy whip and took Rusty with it.” Diana says.
Meanwhile
Omega continues to fly. After a few
minutes it lands in a barren area. It’s
weapons come online and blow a hole in the earth. Omega flies down a shaft and lands in a familiar lab. It puts Rusty down.
“We’re
here.” Omega says.
Rusty
looks around and gasps.
“This is
poindexter’s lab.” Rusty says.
Suddenly
Omega attaches itself to a computer and the screen comes to life. Poindexter’s face appears on it.
“I’m
back.” Poindexter says smiling.
Dwayne and
Diana return to the Darkhorse. Mack
uploads all the data retrieved from the bgy-11.
“Sir we
have lost contact with Rusty. It
appears like he has dropped off the face of the earth.” A scanning officer
reports.
“Show me
the last place you had a reading.” Dwayne orders.
A map
appears. Something about that area
clicks in Dwayne’s head.
“That’s
where poindexter’s old lab was. What
would that robot want with that?” Dwayne asks confused.
Diana
laughs and says, “Maybe Poindexter is inside Omega.”
But
everybody is serious at that comment.
Diana also stops laughing when she thinks about it.
“Why else
would it take Rusty?” Diana thinks.
“How are
you still alive?” Rusty asks back at the lab.
“I am
immortal. Ever since I was rebuilt to
be perfect and shucked that frail human body.” Poindexter responds.
“What do
you want with me?” Rusty asks.
Poindexter
laughs insanely.
“Grandpa’s
got a present for you.” Poindexter says.
Back at
the Darkhorse Mack is still scanning the data.
“Still
nothing.” Mack says shaking his head.
Mack paces
around then stops.
“What if
we use the NURDS on it. They can
destroy it from the inside out. All we
have to do is change their function from repair and upgrade to destroy.” Mack
says.
Dwayne
backs up.
“Oh no
they did enough damage already with the bgy-11.” Dwayne says remembering that
incident.
Mack
frowns then brings up the schematics of the robot. He zeroes in on a small hole in the back
“It’s the
only choice we have right now. This hole
is too small to launch any kind of weapons inside but it’s big enough to launch
a tiny pod of NURDS into it.
Dwayne
sighs.
“All we
have to do is get someone close enough to fire the pod into it.” Mack says.
Diana
steps forward.
“I’ll do
it.” Diana says.
“Wait are
you sure? You will be putting your life
in a lot of danger. Who knows what that
robot will do after the pod gets inside.” Dwayne warns.
“Hey you
have risked your life. It’s my turn.”
Diana says smiling.
Back at
the lab Omega launches back through to the surface and lands on the
ground. Omega looks towards the city
and launches again. The ninja watches
it as it flies.
“It’s time
to fulfill my destiny and why I am still alive.” The ninja says.
The ninja
suddenly races after it at a speed that makes him a blur. Diana is flying in a jet plane looking for
Omega.
“I still
can’t pick up Rusty’s signal.” Diana says.
“Maybe you
should go to the lab and see if he was left there.” Mack says to Dwayne.
Diana
finally approaches Omega at its target…Quarks.
“It’s
attacking Quarks!” Diana yells.
A bunch of
soldiers storm out of the entrance and fire on Omega.
“No get
away!” Diana yells.
But Omega
blasts them before they can move.
Suddenly Omega slams into the tower hard.
“What is
going on out there?” Slate yells.
Diana gets
within weapons range.
“Please
let this reach it’s target. It’s our
only hope.” Diana prays.
The pod
fires and flies into the small hole.
Diana waits.
“Please.”
Diana prays some more.
Suddenly
Omega goes rigid and falls backward.
All over it’s surface starts to decompose.
“Yes!”
Diana yells.
”It’s working. I’m picking up a total
armor breakdown. But the inner workings
aren’t being affected for some reason.” Mack reports.
Dwayne
finally reaches the old lab and lands.
He grapples down the hole and lands on the ground. Suddenly the lab comes to life once more and
Poindexter appears on the screen.
Dwayne gasps at seeing him.
“So it was
you. Where is Rusty!” Dwayne demands.
Poindexter
doesn’t respond he simply brings a picture of Omega at Quarks. The color drains from Dwayne’s face.
“This is
Lt. Hunter. Do not attack…” Dwayne
starts to say.
But before
he can finish a large metal arm knocks him out.
Officers
surround Omega and watch as the armor completely dissolves. Suddenly it stands back up.
“Alpha.”
Omega says.
“I am
picking up an energy buildup coming from inside!” Mack yells.
Diana
scans it herself and frowns.
“It’s a
bomb!” Diana yells.
The
officers fire on it.
“Don’t you
might set it off!” Diana yells.
5 minutes
pass.
“Beta.”
Omega says.
“I think
it’s counting to Omega and once it reaches that then the bomb will go off.”
Diana says.
“If the
time frame between alpha and beta stays the same we should have 20 minutes
left. And according to the power
buildup that explosion will level the city.” Mack says.
“Give me
some good news.” Diana says.
Dwayne
wakes up and finds himself strapped to a chair. He tries to struggle but the bonds are too strong. Poindexter laughs insanely and Dwayne is
shocked to see him in a new body.
“Do you
like it?” Poindexter asks.
Poindexter
stretches his body and smiles.
“Or
perhaps you like this one better.” Poindexter says.
Then to
Dwayne’s horror Poindexter changes into Dwayne. Poindexter laughs insanely and grabs Dwayne’s head.
“Soon I
will be you!” Poindexter yells.
“Delta.”
Omega says back at Quarks.
“There was
only a 4 minute wait that time.” Mack says.
Mack
frowns.
“It must
be on an accelerated time frame. Who
knows how long we have now.” Diana says.
Suddenly
the ninja shows up startling everybody.
“It’s time
you know who I am.” The ninja says.
The ninja
concentrates and speaks again.
“Who I
am.” The ninja says suddenly in Poindexter’s voice.
Diana
whips out her gun and points it at the ninja.
“I am the
human ninja. After I was killed by my
own creations they saved my brain and put it in their systems. After the destruction of the base my
container somehow survived. Military
people found it and used it in an experimental robotic warrior with a human
brain test. They blocked my memories so
I wouldn’t remember who I really was.
Eventually a piece of my remembered and escaped. I became my own warrior with a master.” The
ninja says.
“Ronin.”
Diana says.
Back in
the lab Dwayne is still being shocked by Poindexter and is weakening.
“Give up
and it will go a lot easier. I soon
will have total revenge against everybody that helped destroy me. And what better way than with the appearance
of their most trusted heroes.” Poindexter says.
Poindexter
laughs insanely. Suddenly visions flash
through Dwayne’s head. His ‘death’, his
amnesia and having to wander the city looking for answers. His having to fight against his will and
nearly killing Diana. All these images
give him strength. Suddenly Dwayne
screams out in anger. Poindexter is
thrown backwards.
“YOU HAVE
USED ME FOR THE LAST TIME!” Dwayne says in a very loud voice.
He grabs
Poindexter’s head and rips it out of its socket. Poindexter yells until Dwayne crushes his head. He then smashes the body.
“Gamma.”
Omega says after only 3 minutes.
“It’s time
for me to do what I was always meant to do.” The ninja says.
The ninja
jumps inside the husk of Omega and grabs the core. Energy runs through them both and the ninja cries out.
“Help me.”
Rusty’s voice says suddenly.
“Rusty?”
Slate asks.
With his
last ounce of strength the ninja reaches inside and grabs Rusty’s body. He then tears it from the connections. Slate rushes up and takes Rusty’s body. She looks at his motionless body with fear.
“Rusty?!”
Slate yells.
“Goodbye
grandson.” The ninja says.
The ninja
grabs the core and crushes it. Omega
falls completely apart and the ninja falls to the ground. Slate looks over at him.
“Thanks.”
Slate says softly.
“Y..y..y..r..e…w...l..m..e”
The ninja stutters barely functioning.
The ninja
goes limp and ceases function.
”Is the bomb stopped?” Slate asks.
Diana
scans and nods her head. Later on
Dwayne and the other pit crew members watch as Rusty is hooked up to a
diagnostic bed. Slate shakes her head.
“It
doesn’t look good.” Slate says.
Inside
Rusty he is battling his own fear. He
has given up, afraid of dying.
"Rusty!"
Dr. Slate yells.
"Core
going critical." A voice inside Rusty says.
"Goodbye
Dr. Slate." Rusty says.
A huge explosion envelops him.
"Rusty!"
Dr. Slate yells.
"Core
going critical." A voice inside Rusty says.
"Goodbye
Dr. Slate." Rusty says.
A huge explosion envelops him.
Meanwhile Thornton gets word.
“I give him all my prayer and thoughts. Tell me as soon as you know more.” Thornton says.
Suddenly
Slate disconnects Rusty from the system.
“What are
you doing?” Melissa asks shocked.
Slate
hooks him up to the VR system.
“Seeing
what he’s going through.” Slate responds.
Suddenly
she finds herself in his nightmare world
"Rusty!"
Dr. Slate yells.
"Core
going critical." A voice inside Rusty says.
"Goodbye
Dr. Slate." Rusty says.
A huge explosion envelops him.
"Rusty!"
Dr. Slate yells.
Slate
reaches for Rusty but he pulls back.
"Core
going critical." A voice inside Rusty says.
“No I
can’t go back. I don’t want to die
again.” Rusty says.
"Goodbye
Dr. Slate." Rusty says.
Slate sits down
A huge explosion envelops him.
"Rusty!"
Dr. Slate yells.
“Death
is part of life. It’s a scary thing but
we all have to accept it eventually. I
sometimes think about dying but I don’t let it rule my life.” Slate says.
"Core
going critical." A voice inside…
The vision freezes.
“If we
spend the whole time afraid of death then we will never live.” Slate says.
The death
scene disappears and is replaced with a picture of Slate standing over Rusty
who looks like he did before he got the living armor. Rusty’s eyes open up.
“Hello.”
Rusty says.
Slate
gasps when she recognizes this as the time Rusty was first activated.
”Who are you?” Rusty asks.
“I’m Dr.
Slate. I will help you adjust to the
world.” The vision Slate responds.
“Life is
beautiful and if we keep ourselves from enjoying it then we might as well be
dead.” Slate says.
The real
rusty grabs Slate and hugs her.
Everything goes white and back in the real world Rusty comes back to
life. Everybody gasps. Slate pulls the helmet off.
“Welcome
back.” Slate says smiling.
One week
later…
Thornton
is finally let out of the hospital. He
is flown to the Darkhorse where everybody is waiting for him. He steps down from the helicopter and looks
around. Diana starts to clap and soon
everybody is clapping. Thornton
smiles. When he sees Dwayne they
exchange an uncomfortable glance.
Finally Thornton smiles and offers a hand.
“I’m sorry
for what I did.” Dwayne says.
Dwayne
takes the hand and they shake. Later on
a ceremony happen. Thornton appears in
a doorway holding a purple silk pillow with several medals on it. He walks over to Rusty who is watching
curiously.
“This has
been a long time coming son. For your
show of bravery and honor I am proud to award you the Medal of Honor.” Thornton
says.
He then
puts the medal over Rusty’s head who is too shocked to say anything. Thornton does the same for Dwayne and
Diana. Everybody claps at them.
One year
later…
A ceremony
is going on. Mack is standing next to something tall that is covered.
“Using the
data we retrieved from the robot we were able to create a new kind of BGY with
better armor.” Mack says.
He looks
over at Dwayne and Diana.
“And dual
pilot seats.” Mack says.
He pulls
back the sheet revealing a large robot that looks like a cross between the
other BGY’s and the omega robot.
“I am
proud to announce earth’s latest defense.
The BGY-13!” Mack announces.
An hour later the big guy signal goes off and big guy and Rusty fly off into
the sky after it. The scene freezes like a snapshot so it will stay forever.
Next up it’s the series finale. After all that has happened, all the loses and the gains. All that is left is to say goodbye. A bittersweet farewell.
