"Alright. All men, action stations!" Boone orders as the weapons command room gets ready, radar locking on, guns loaded and trained, missiles primed. Once the all is ready, the order is given. "Execute."
As the guns open up in a blaze of AA shells, and missiles fire one after another in rapid succession, all rushing to meet the vehicles in the middle. The result is a massive fireball as a bunch of vehicles are destroyed, the remainder flying through and splitting up, swarming the ship and returning fire. The ship shakes as it is hit by both shockwaves and weapons from the vehicles, enduring it. It is watched from various cameras, as the scene unfolds.
"Oh... My..." Dewey says as he watches. "This is better than any movie ever!" Dewey shouts, enjoying the battle before him.
"I will say, it is less than preferable, but it does seem to be effective. So long as we eliminate the control mothership." Gyro remarks.
Boone and the others look at Gyro. "I'm sorry, the what?" He asks as Burt comes on comms.
"Hey captain, we got a large signature approaching..." Burt reports.
"Size, Burt?" Boone inquires
"Wingspan is three hundred meters." As, on screen, a giant aerial vehicle comes into view, high above the other vehicles.
"By the gods..." Boone remarks. "You couldn't have told us about this earlier?!" He yells at Gyro.
"In my defense one should always expect a giant mothership over an otherwise unmanned drone army." Gyro says.
Boone's looks in disbelief. "No, no one should, because this isn't a cliche movie! This is real!" He says as he sighs. "Will destroying it at least shut down the other drones?"
"Yes, destruction of the Gearloose Citywide Defense System Control Ship will shut down all peripheral vehicles." Gyro states.
Boone calls it in. "Focus as much heavy missile and artillery fire on the control ship. Destroy it, and we are in the clear." He orders as large, long-range missiles and 52cm shells fly up to the GCDSCS and, right as impact is about to happen...
The missiles detonate against a previously invisible barrier before they even get to the GCDSCS. The behemoth keeps flying unaffected as all slowly turn to look at Gyro with an annoyed 'explain' look.
"Oh come on, you can't honestly think it'd be undefended, do you?" Gyro asks sarcastically, but Boone grabs him by the collar.
"No time for games Gearloose! How do we shut it down!?"
"The only way to shut it down is to go inside and do so manually." Gyro states.
"Why do I feel you become more and more of a mad scientist or evil genius with every explanation you make?" Boone asks deadpan, putting him down.
"How are we even going to get up there?!" Cross asks.
"Only people that go up there are prisoners and specialist maintenance personnel- aah!" Gyro explains as he is grabbed, again.
"What do you mean, prisoners?" Boone asks.
"Well, a prime directive is to keep criminals off the streets so it has an onboard prison. Though it has yet to actually be used ye- hey!" Gyro says, then being pulled closer.
"How do we get on board then?" Boone asks.
"Some of us would either have to fake being maintenance personnel, which would likely fail because of the malfunction, or if you got caught and brought there by a Lil' Bulb."
"What? What do you mean a Lil' Bulb? What do they have to do with this and you have them handle maintenance and guard duty up there don't you?" Boone starts to ask as he realizes.
"Correct." Then, the OG Lil' Bulb pops out, not red.
"Hey, why isn't that one, you know, murder mode?" Cross asks.
"Oh, this one is an older version. Oldest actually. The first Lil' Bulb ever! Incompatible with- wha!" Gyro explains.
"Would they think he is one of them?" Boone shakes him some.
"Yes, if it wasn't for him NOT malfunctioning. The lack of red would likely give it away..." Gyro explains.
Boone rolls his eyes, grabs Lil' Bulb and goes over to a cabinet, gets a red colored light bulb identical to the ones used on all Bulb Tech, and swaps them, the Lil' Bulb giving off a red light constantly, due to the bulb. "Will that work?" Lil' Bulb is clearly not happy- or, well, guess not that clear anymore-, but not murder mode, and relents.
"Er, yes. But how is faking prisoners going to help?" Gyro asks.
"Distraction. You and the most capable kids for this sort of mission, being Huey, Dewey, and Webby go up as well, hidden, while volunteers go up as 'prisoners' captured by Lil' Bulb here. While the prisoners are escorted away, you and the kids sneak out and work your way to the control room to figure out how to bring it down." Boone explains
"Well how do we get up there then?" Gyro inquires with a raised eyebrow, arms folded over his chest.
Just then, a Toppat calls in. "Sir, one of the heavier UAVs crashed on the top deck but is still mostly intact. Orders?"
Boone looks at Gyro. "Ask and you shall receive." As he turns to the Toppat. "Fix it up, quick! Us six need it."
"Sorry, US six?" Gyro is confused.
"I volunteer as a prisoner." Boone states.
"I volunteer as well! Wherever you go, I go sir." Cross steps forward, smiling at Boone.
"Alright then. Let's go!" Boone leads them up there.
Sure enough, the crashed vehicle, a transport, is repaired and slightly modified, Boone making a place for Gyro and the kids to hide, as him and Cross get in position, getting cuffed with their hands behind their backs, and sat in the prisoner seats. "Never thought I'd end up cuffed again." Boone remarks.
"Oh? You mean by authorities or, in your room?" Cross smirks and winks at Boone.
Boone grins back. "Oh come now, my bedroom doesn't count! I was willing those times... Mostly at least..." He flirts.
"Hey! Minors in here! Mind not discussing bedroom matters around us!?" Huey complains hearing the two talk about what happens in private between consenting adults.
"Ooh~" Dewey mocks and teases, makes fake kissing noises.
"Oh? You two practice restraining opponents?! I do that too! In fact, I could practice on the guys when we get home!" Webby says as if it is normal, as Dewey and Huey realize what that implies.
"Ahhhhhhhh~!" The two cry out as the vehicle goes to the GCDSCS.
