Future Tales - Final Scene - Finding the Treasure

Here it is, the final scene of our heroes' adventure!  After leaping across the galaxy, they finally discover that the treasure they seek, the mysterious tome of wisdom, is aboard the star station Beta on the asteroid Lando.

Our heroes arrive, but after exploring the deserted station, they find only a lone data pad and message:

"Congratulations, you have found the location of the book, or you would have if I hadn't rid myself of it.  Fearing it might fall into the wrong hands, I ejected it into a capsule and launched it into space.  Best fortunes at another date.

Signed,

Dr. Valcun"

"Well this is unfortunate," YM-3 responds, "but our fortunes could have resulted in worse events."

Trust the robot to jinx everything.

Just then, the Orlocks arrive, led by their leader, Lord Wurr.

"Give us the book or else," Wurr ordered as his troops trained the weapons on Bart, YM-3, and Rina.

"Um, there's something you should know," Bart responded, tossing the data pad to the enemy leader.

Wurr looked over the message, then with a growl, tossed it aside, where it bounced off the force field to the outside.  "Fine then, this is all your fault for delaying me, so I'll take my frustrations out on your heads!  Attack!"

The two sides roll for In Sights, with Bart's team winning.  Bart and YM-3 move around some crates while Rina trains her pistol on the closest Orlocks.

Bart drops one opponent, while Rina sends two more to the ground.  Wurr, seeing the odds shift away, takes cover behind a generator.

The three heroes managed to take out the remaining Orlocks, leaving only the leader, Lord Wurr, alone and furious.



"You'll pay for this, mark my words."  Pulling out an electronic blade, he lunges forward at his foes.

In the blink of an eye, Wurr manages to cut down both Lena and YM-3.  While Rina is still breathing, and the robot still seems to function, both are incapacitated, leaving Bart to deal with the Big Bad himself.

Bart tries to fire on his foe, but the mighty Wurr dodges all blasts and slices at our hero.  Ducking the blade, Bart grabs Wurr's wrists and the two grapple for control.

Terrain Hazard!

In the midst of the grapple, the two accidentally damage the force field separating them from space.  Both must now dive for cover until the automatic doors seal the hanger shut.

Bart slips behind some metal crates and survives.

Lord Wurr on the other hand . . .

Not so lucky.

With Wurr and his minions dispatched, Bart crawls over and checks on his friends.

After administering whatever aid he can, Bart finds the two bruised but alive.

"Sorry we didn't find your book," Rina says.

Bart shrugs.  "It's out there somewhere, along with other treasures to find."

Jumping up and down, YM-3 asked, "When do we begin?"

And the adventure continues . . . 

Bart and his friends may not have found their goal, but they did have an adventure they won't forget.  What about you?  What story will your heroes tell?  What adventures will they encounter?  what dangers will they face?  What will the Future hold?

There's only way to find out, because the Future is here!
