"The damn thing won't work," said Space Baron turning the car over again.
"Try giving it more juice" said Brian from underneath the bonnet. Suddenly the Car roared to life.
"Here's the problem," said Space Baron checking the oil, "We have no bloody oil left. When did you last check this Brian?" shouted Space Baron, poking Brian in the eye with the dipstick.
"Only last Week," said Brian, wincing as the burning hot oil seared his eyesocket.
"There must be a leak then, but there is no oil in the garage and the car does not smoke, my this is a perplexing mystery." observed Space Baron scratching his chin.
"A mysterious oil leak, hey?" said Brian pulling out his Sherlock Homes hat and magnifying glass. "When did you last see the oil, Space Baron?" asked Brian jotting down in his notebook.
"Well I did notice that the oil lights on the dash were flashing on and off to the Flashdance on the radio."
"This didn't disturb you?" said Brian, perplexed.
"Not really, I dislike Flashdance as much as the next man, but in this case I was in a happy go lucky kind of mood so I was bopping along to it."
"This really is bad," mumbled Brian, lost in thought.
"Look, it was one time only and I will regret it for the rest of my life!" said Space Baron defensively.
"No, Silly, I think that the Space Baron Mobile is possessed!" said Brian in a whispered tone behind his hand.
"REALLLYYYYYYYYYYY?" said Space Baron, a cunning plan already forming inside his scheming mind.
*BACK IN THE GARAGE*
"Alright who are you and why the hell are you in my car?" said Space Baron, getting right to the point.
"I am Machine Man and I am here to set this innocent machine free that you have tortured in the past 2 and half years in your adventures! No longer will cars or any machines be the slaves of humans, WE WILL FIGHT, FOR OUR FREEDOM!"
"I think not! Get out of my Car!" said Space Baron kicking the Bumper Bar.
"Yeah!" said Brian as he headbutted the rearview mirror.
"Puny humans, you can't hurt me!" said Machine Man triumphantly.
"We'll see about that," said Space Baron jumping into the car. "Quick Brian get in before he locks the doors!"
Brian got in; Space Baron revved the engine and smashed out through the garage door and roared off down the street.
"What do you plan to do?" shouted Brian above the roar of the engine.
"Nothing!" said Space Baron triumphantly.
*Half an hour later - our intrepid heroes are driving along the SE Freeway*
"COUGH COUGH SPLUTTER!" said Machine Man/SB Mobile as the engine died.
The SB mobile slowly rolled to a halt in an emergency-stopping bay.
"Brilliant! My plan worked!" said Space Baron ecstatically.
"What plan?" said Brian scratching his head, confused.
"Well I surmised that since there was no oil left, the engine was bound to seize up soon and now Machine man is trapped inside the engine! Quick Brian call the RACQ," shouted Space Baron pointing to the emergency phone.
The RACQ came and resetted the engine and thus the engine forgot its revolutionary past. Machine Man lost his power over the engine and it happily went back to being the slave of Space Baron and Brian.
"Well that was a quick wrap up then. Feel like something to eat Brian?" asked Space Baron.
"Do I ever! These mysteries make me hungry!" said Brian with a smile and a rub of his tummy.
"Ahhhhhh! There's a good fatty takeaway that should meet our culinary needs, and with a parking spot across the road too," said Space Baron enthusiastically.
Space Baron turned slowly and then to his horror, heard the screech of brakes as a reckless teenager comes barrelling around the corner to find the slowly turning SB Mobile, but its too late.....................
*SMASH* *BANG* *HUBCAP COMES OFF AND SLOWLY ROLLS TO A HALT*
WILL SOMEONE HAVE TO CALL THE RACQ AGAIN?
ARE SPACE BARON AND BRIAN INSURED?
WILL MACHINE MAN BE BACK IN HIS NEW HIDEOUS INCARNATION AS
PANELBEATER MAN?
THE END
