Police Attack |
Gold tell lead to create a shield and
Lead obliges and the rest of the Metal Men take cover, the police
continue their assault trying to get to Leads responsometer to bring
him down. As they climb up the pleading Lead, Tina circles round via
a roof top and scoops up the police in a platinum net. At that
moment though a stupendous fearful figure appears crushing police
and police cars in its wake.

Instantly Tina hurls herself against the awesome giant fly and
lead creates massive mallets to bring the creature Fferka down. Like
a toppling oak the invading giant falls under leads blow, but the
nightmare is just beginning as when it lands it splits open and an
army of flies swarm out, expanding as they appear. Lead and Platinum
beat a retreat to find the rest of the Metal Men. Col Magnus accelerates and they manage to break free and take them back to the lab where Doc Magnus lies in a coma, there Col Magnus carries out his brothers last command and in a basement turns of their activators until authorities require them. |
