NSWRPF Archive Exiles - (a massive crossover)

Street/Sidewalk

When Buzz safely reached the sidewalk, he jumped up the curb out of the street. He spun around to see the rest of his team joining him. Cortez hopped up next to him and commented, "I never thought crossing the street could be so difficult."

Steel swooped down next to Buzz and landed. "I am sorry. The vehicle was driving well over the speed limit and I couldn't warn you in time."

"Just get back up there, and this time, watch out for anything." Buzz then turned to Luke Skywalker. "Nice work out there, soldier."

"Anything I could do to help," Luke said. It had come as an instinct, really, a life or death factor. Who wouldn't have done the same, with his ability?

Goku hovered around as Steel conversed with Buzz. He felt bad about the whole thing, even though the gust just came in at the wrong time. Finally Steel reemerged, back to flight. "What did he say?"

Taking to the air again, Goku asked "What did he say?"

Steel responded, "Buzz told us to keep a very sharp look-out for anything and everything." Below, he could see the team start to make their way over the grassy hill, toward the park.

Goku, turning to Steel's regard, now noticed the Exile's movements.

"We should follow them!" Goku said, enthusiastic, knowing (or at least hoping,) there would be no mistakes this time.

He blasted off, the wind whizzing in his path. Birds, almost at first glance, saw Goku as a predator with his power, and immeadeatly scattered, not wanting to get fried by the ki trail...

IC: Slinky Dog, Hamm, Buzz, Rex, Cortez, RC

On the ground, the Exiles, with Buzz and the other toys, reached the top of the knoll. Down the other side, there was a large area of sand with a jungle-gym in it. A slide, monkey bars, swings, see-saws, ladders, wooden bridges... It was a kids playground. And, of course, there were children playing there.

"Oh, no, no, no," Slinky Dog commented.

"A kids playground is the last place we want to be," Hamm added.

"That's right," Buzz responded. "That's why we're going around it and not through it. You see those pieces of wood lining the sand?" He pointed. The large wooden frame around the playground kept the sand from flowing out on to the grass.

"Yeah," Rex said, "but the children will still see our heads above the wood frame."

"We'll just have to duck and crouch as you run past," Buzz said, turning to the dinosaur.

"Should we create some distraction?" Cortez asked. "Ya know, so that the kids don't see us going by?"

That's when RC rolled forward.

"Yes," Buzz said. "Thanks for volunteering for the job, RC. You get the kids' attention and then race around so that they chase you. And when we sneak past, we'll have one of our fliers swoop down and rescue you."

Buzz then explained the situation to the flying toys and Exiles over the walkie-talkie so that they knew what was happening.

"When everyone's ready, we'll send RC in." Buzz looked around at the group. His fellow toys were nodding.

OOC: Where have all the other players gone?

 

OOc: OMG, Instant Transmission to the rescue.

IC: as Son Goku, Luke Skywalker
Sandlot

"Hmmm..." Luke pondered, considering the plan relayed to him. Before, giggles and laughter can be heard. The ambience was playful, as kids kicked sands from their heels, sandstorms whirling in the place as the children had their way.

"Are you sure he's up to it? If the kids get him, they might damage him," Luke commented. The sandlot was still a few feet from the main core of the group.

Up in the sky, Goku could see the rather monolithic children playing around.

Suddenly, there was a loud noise ringing in his ear, as Buzz barked the orders.

"They look pretty big," he responded, taking a quick glance at the behemoths. "Are you sure we won't be seen to get him outta there?"

OOC: Anybody here?

 

IC: Ratchet & Clank
Playground

"And hey," said Ratchet with a grin, "if all else fails, we can always turn the runts into sheep." He held up a large, heavy gun that would be instantly recognizable to anyone who shopped at Gadgetron vendors. After all, the Sheepinator was a respected weapon for mercenaries all throughout the universe, and it had come in handy on more than one occasion during the Lombax's myriad adventures.

Luke observed the gun the creature now displayed. It was unlike anything he had ever seen, even in the Outer Rim, or Vong alike..and with some strange efects.

As told by Ratchet, it turned the unfortunate recipient into...a sheep? What was a ...sheep? A different type of wampa?

Either way, he didn't want to find out, and neither did those kids. "Hopefully, it willl not come to that," Luke commented.

Goku, however, was intrigued by the gun. He had never seen anything like it, not even from Bulma.

He observed it keenly...and he never really observed anything, unless in battle. "Sheep? How does it work?"

IC: Buzz
Near the playground

Buzz had missed the whole conversation regarding big guns and sheep. He was still thinking about what Goku had said a moment ago: "Are you sure we won't be seen to get him outta there?"

The plan was pretty risky. RC could be hurt or damaged. How else could they get around the playground without being seen...unless they took the long way around the outer rim of the entire park.

Buzz glanced at RC. "That's true. We wouldn't want you to get hurt." He glanced up at the others. "Does anyone else have a better plan?"

OOC: Gonna be out for some time. I could've PM'ed, but I rather post it here so that the thread need not falter because of moi.

 

IC: Ratchet & Clank
Near the playground

Before Ratchet could speak up about how the Exiles already knew his thoughts on an alternative, Clank had hopped off of his back and had approached Buzz.

"Sir Lightyear," the small robot began, "the latest modification to my Lombax friend's Sheepinator enables the user to configure the strength of the weapon and the impact served upon the victim. It is possible that the children will only remain sheep for a small while, allowing us to make our way through undetected. When the humans revert back to their original forms, they will have no memory of what just occurred. If I do say so myself, it is a worthy plan."

Tag: Exiles

 

IC: Buzz, Cortez

"Sheep?" Cortez questioned.

Buzz looked at the little robot. "Turn the children in to sheep momentarily?" He repeated. "And you're sure...absolutely sure, that they won't be harmed in any way?"

TAG: Ratchet and Clank...

 

IC: Ratchet & Clank
Near the playground

Ratchet looked at his short robotic companion after hearing Buzz's inquiry about the chances for the Sheepinator to malfunction, not entirely knowing the answer himself. Clank, it seemed, didn't either.

"Well, er, we haven't exactly tested the weapon yet. Things have been quite silent around the galaxy, and we have not been called to duty in some time, until now. But... in theory... they'll revert back to their human forms in mere minutes."

Tag: Exiles

 

IC: Buzz Lightyear

Buzz thought for a minute.

He looked at RC, thinking about the original plan. Then he looked up at the children.

Woody was his best friend, and he would do anything to rescue him and get him back. He was a Space Ranger and was determined to accomplish the mission by any means necessary.

Hesitantly, Buzz slowly turned to the little robot. He nodded. "Do it."

TAG: Ratchet and Clank...

 

IC: as Luke Skywalker, Son Goku
Playground

Luke still had his doubts...but time was being wasted on all this bickering. Probably as they were discussing, this "Al" was probably smashing Woody into who-knows-what.

Shrugging, Luke resigned from the arguement, keeping a safe distance from the weapon, it's purpose not fully known to him, even with all this explanation from the creature and his droid companion.

Goku, on the other hand, was rather eager to see this thing do it's stuff, free from doubt.

"Does this thing really turn them into sheep?" Goku probed again. The anticipation was eating at him. Why couldn't they hurry this up?!

"Let's hope this works..." Luke said, waiting.

IC: Ratchet & Clank
Near the playground

"Precisely," Clank responded to Goku as he walked a few steps and hopped up onto Ratchet's back once more, so that they both faced opposite directions.

Ratchet grasped the handle of the Sheepinator in his hand firmly, and placed his furry finger on the trigger. He pointed the large barrelled gun, which had something like a claw at the end of it, at the children, and pulled the trigger. Immediately, a blast of different colored lights emitted from the gun's large, circular tip. The glowing red, green, and yellow lights circled around each other incessantly as they flew towards the unsuspecting children. When the lights hit their targets, each of the young humans were transformed into fluffy white creatures that immediately began to eat the fresh green grass at the side of the playground.

"Well, there you go," Ratchet said, relieved that it had worked. Hopefully the effects were only temporary.

IC: Cortez, Buzz, Steel, other toys

"Whoa!" Cortez was surprised. He couldn't believe it actually happened.

Buzz was astonished as well. But he managed to keep his composure. "Alright everybody. Let's move!" He began running amongst the flock of sheep. Andy's other toys followed behind.

"Nice work," Cortez said to the robot. "I've gotta get me one of those."

Above, Steel swooped down to get a closer look at the children/sheep. He was a machine himself, but he couldn't figure out how the gun worked. Maybe there was some magic involved. Steel remembered something about Oberon's Children... But this was a different universe.

Steel watched the team of toys running past the sheep.

"Cool," Goku remarked, seeing the bright array of lights and livestock in the proccess. Soon, all the kids are turned into the wooly creatures.

Luke was amazed. He had never seen a weapon that can change a person into an entirely different species, much less this new one.

Yet Ratchet mentioned that he hoped that it was necessary. He didn't like those odds.

Soon, all the toys and Exiles, taking the hint, dashed across the field, the wooly creatures paying no mind. They were more concerned on the grazing near them, than with the anomorphic plastics in front of them. The sentries followed close behind.

Soon, the Exiles were out of striking, grabbing, whatever the kids can throw at them-distance. Luke whirled around and waved his hand in a mystic motion torwards the former children...

...the fur turned to flesh, the spine upright, and other human features alike, the kids were normal...and unfortunately, Goku was preoccupied to see something that would've been potentially "cooler" than what they saw from weaponary.

Other side of the park

"Nice work, everyone," Buzz said as he finally came to a stop at the other end of the park. He bent over to catch his breath.

As the other toys caught up with him, Buzz stood again and pointed ahead of them, his plastic finger outstretched into the air. Not far away was a building that read "Al's Toy Barn" across the front.

"Woody's in there somewhere," Buzz started. He lowered his finger, now pointing at the busy highway between them and the Toy Barn. "But first, we've got one more obstacle to overcome."

The frightened toys looked at the vehicles whizzing by. Rex fell over backward, Hamm's cork popped out, and Mr. Potato Head's rear opened up, spilling his angry eyes and other pieces all over the ground.

Other side of the park

The blurred images of vehicles whizzing by on the road before him nearly made Ratchet require a new pair of pants. The road looked awfully wide, and as Clank peered over his shoulder, he wondered if the sight made the little robot spring a leak.

"We could use the Hoverpack," Ratchet inquired.

Clank shook his head. "We'd be seen."

"Don't you have some invisible cloak machine or whatever that we could use?"

"Well, er..." Clank hesitated. "I spent all my bolts on Courtney Gears: Red, White, and Chrome - Volume Five."

Ratchet rolled his eyes. "Figures."

Other Side of the Park

As the Exiles caught up, a huge red monolith came into view. It's fake wooden frame had two glass doors, and through the limited space, Luke saw a glimpse of a marble floor. It sported one distinguishing feature, imposed on the wooden frame:

Al's Toy Barn.

Luke didn't know what to make of it. Even in his days as a moisture farmer, he had never come across "a barn" of this type. Goku however, had a proposal...

"Farmers? What would farmers want with a toy? Unless...they are making a farm of toys...hmmmm..." Goku contemplated this radical idea, rubbing his chin as he quickly was distracted from the current situation.

"So, this is the place," Luke observed. "This looks to be simple..." Luke looked around, and soon, he saw that it wouldn't be as easy as he thought.

"Or not," Luke now looked for something, to help their cross across the dangerous road.

Suddenly, something quickly caught his eye. Orange cone-shaped objects seemed to be free from harm, even in the raging traffic

He then noticed the same cones next to the group...and just enough for the group on ground.

"Maybe we could masquerade as one of those objects..." Luke pointed out the objects to the group.

"Hmmmm...maybe toys are farmers!" Goku reached a conclusion to his thought. "So, what are we doing?"

Luke explained the plan to Goku, as he sparsely understood what the Jedi was saying anyway.

IC: Cortez, Steel

Listening to the suggestion, Cortez glanced back at the orange cones. "So," he started, "you mean you want to wear one of those cones and march across the highway? That seems awfully dangerous."

Steel landed with the group. "Would it be easier if the fliers carried everyone over one by one?"

"Actually," Buzz piped up, "the cone thing is not a bad idea." He looked back at the group. "I saw on the television that vehicles tend to avoid these orange cones. Maybe that would be the safest way across. While hiding under those cones, we wouldn't get hit." He snapped his fingers. "Brilliant!" he exclaimed, turning to Luke Skywalker.

Buzz ran over to the line of cones. "Alright, everbody. Grab a cone."

Cortez, knowing that vehicles have a tendency not only to avoid cones, but sometimes drive over them, muttered, "Oh, boy..."

IC: as Son Goku, Luke Skywalker

"Are you sure this is going to work?" Goku inquired, as Luke began to cut holes in the cones with his lightsaber in intregal parts like the shoulder and mouth, for communication.

"Trust me, it will work," Luke answered. "Now, go tell the others to get to the other side. We'll need at least someone to get these cones off us when we get there."

Goku nodded in agreement, and he went to Steel. "Think we should go the other side of the road already? Someones gonna have to take these traffic cones off," Goku explained Luke's plan, mirroring his words.

"All right, everyone. Now put the cone over your head," Luke set the example, by plopping one over his head, untill it finally concealed all of his body.

IC: Steel, Cortez, Buzz, and the crew

Steel turned to Goku. "Yes. Let's go." The rocket on his back ignited and he shot up off the sidewalk. He made sure he flew high enough before he crossed over the busy highway...after all, he didn't want to get it by a Mack truck or a tall bus or something.

Back on the ground, Cortez helped the toys with the traffic cones. Slinky Dog ended up having two cones, one over his head and the other over his rump. The coiled wire was strung between them.

Potato Head stuck his arm through a hole and held his eyes outside of the cone so he could better see where he was going. Both Rex and Hamm needed help since they don't actually have arms. Rocky, on the other hand, didn't have any trouble lifting the cone himself. RC's cone was positioned perfectly so that the cone didn't drag on the asphalt as he moved. The little rubber wheels could be seen underneath the orange cone. Sarge and his army men split into four groups and hoisted their cones.

Cortez them lifted his own cone and held it in place. He was still a little worried... Then he heard Buzz Lightyear say, "Alright, men. Let's move out!"

Buzz, holding the cone over him, stepped out on to the asphalt.
