Human Beauty and the Forklift 2 part 8

In the dungeon of Professor Z's lair, Guido is watching me lying on the floor on my front body. I am still unconscious. Guido said, "Kristina. Kristina, wake up."

I woke up slowly and saw Guido in my eyes. I smiled gladly with a gasp. I stood up and hugged him. He's not a holographic illusion that is used by Grahana. He is the real Guido! I smiled, "Guido! I'm so glad you're alright!"

I released him and asked, "Guido, did any--"

He said determinedly, "No time for a questions. We must escape from Professor Zundapp."

He drove to the metal door as I followed him. He put his lifters under the door and push it up. It rise itself and it's opened.

I was amazed of his strength with my widened eyes, "Wow."

Guido whispered, "Psst! Follow me."

He lead me out of the dungeon and headed to somewhere. He made an evil grin as his eyes shifted to the right at me. His thought said, "Now I have you right where I want you, you gullible, living organism."

Meanwhile, Finn McMissile, Holley Shiftwell and Mater the Tow Truck sneakily drove through the lair and were in the search of me. Holley added, "There's no sign of her."

Finn told, "We better keep looking."

Mater looks around until he saw a car-like fly floated in front of his eyes and shouted, "Aah! Dad gum!"

Suddenly, the machine guns deployed one on each side of his vehicle body and Mater shouted, "No! Not now!" But it's too late. The machine guns on his sides uncontrollably shoot around the area and he shouted, "Stop! Stop!"

The machine guns halt and got back inside him. There are holes on the wall everywhere and the black lemon cars came out of their hiding places to surround Finn McMissile, Holley Shiftwell and Mater with their glares. They held up their flamethrowers.

Holley glares as she shoots out the electroshock taser-like device from the side of her wheel at one of the lemon cars and tazed him until he got knocked out. Mater then swung his hook to knock the flamethrower off of the lemon car's side of his wheel and yelled, "Hi-ya!"

So the three of those spies are fighting them off.

Back me and Guido, he and I were walking through the corridor. I asked, "What about my friends: Finn, Holley and Mater while we're getting out of here?"

"Oh, they'll be fine."

"What 'fine' are you talking about?"

"They are fine while they're fighting off my--I mean, Professor Zundapp's lemon cars." He answered with an evil grin while I was walking behind him. I grew very worried about him and my friends. There is something fishy going on with Guido and he doesn't seem right.

Then, we got out of the corridor and saw a giant ray machine which is pointing upward at the ceiling. I gasped, "What is that?"

He hid me behind the red, metal oil barrel and whispered, "Shh! I'll go check out there to see if the coast is clear. You wait here." He drove off to another doorway and I hid behind this barrel quietly.

For few moments, I heard a car accelerating sound so I dive into this empty barrel and hid inside it until a black lemon car past me without noticing me in it and he left. I hear nothing so I climb out of this barrel and poke my head out from behind the doorway. I gasps with my widened eyes, "Guido!"

Acer and Grem shove the gagged Guido with a duct tape over his mouth near the doorway. Guido's wheel was clamped by a wheel clamp (known as parking boot) to prevent him from escaping and he muffled, "Mmm! Mmmf! Mmm!"

Both of them drove off, leaving Guido behind. I exclaimed with my whispery voice as I ran up to him, "Guido!" He noticed me and muffles worriedly like he was trying to tell me something as I went closer to him. I asked, "What are you trying to tell me?"

He look up with his eyes shift upward and muffled, "Mmm-mm!" It looks like he's trying to say, "Look out!"

I confused, "What?" I saw a shadow on the floor and it was right between me and Guido. I turn around and shrieked as Grahana, who is sneaking behind me, uses his magnet crane to drop the cube-shaped cage, "Aah!"

This cage drop to the floor and trap me in it. Then, the another Guido drove up with an evil grin and stood next to the real Guido who is gagged and clamped. This fake Guido chuckled evilly and I gasped with horror, "You're not the real Guido with that evil grin! The real one who got clamped and gagged!"

The fake Guido said as he glows white, "Yes, you are correct." He changed shape and transformed into his true identity; Professor Zundapp! He grinned, "But you fall right into your trap."

I asked sternly, "And how are you gonna use me as a battery for this machine?"

Professor Z point his tire wheel at three bell jars and asked, "See them?"

The first one has a 7-foot Asian water monitor lizard, the second one has a brown boot with a plant in it which is the same one from Wall-E by Pixar and Walt Disney, and the third one is empty.

He explained as he drove slowly around me in this cage, "The third one is for you, human organism. With this machine, it will drain all of your energy and charge it into this machine that will destroy World Grand Prix and the rest of the racing competitions so Lightning McQueen and every racer will never race. Then, we'll kill them all. Once your energy is drained and the machine is fully charged, you will die..."

I gasps slightly with my widened eyes and Z continued the last word, "Forever."

Guido widened his eyes with shock as he hears this and fear that I'm going to die soon.

I yelled, "I won't let you do this to me, the plants and the animals that are living organisms!"

Professor Z halt for a moment and glare at me. He continued, "Oh really. You may be smart, but you are a gullible, naive for a organic human like you." He look at Grahana and commanded, "Grahana, you can do anything to threaten her precious boyfriend."

I turn my head and watched Grahana hold his spinning drill towards Guido like he was gonna hurt him. I became worried as I grab the metal cage bars and cried, "Stop! Don't hurt him! Please!"

Grahana stops for a moment and the three of them look at me. I told sadly, "You can do anything to me, but I won't let you threaten Guido and my friends. Now please let him go."

Professor Z said, "Very well then. We'll let him go after we finish with you first." He look at Grahana and said, "Grahana, release her." He then turn to Maximo who approaches him and commanded, "Maximo, tied her up and keep her boyfriend from escaping so he can watch her."

Maximo the white lemon forklift saluted. Granaha uses his magnet crane to lift the cage off of me to set me free and then, Maximo drove behind me slowly and uses his robot hands that came out of the sides of his body to tie me up in the rope. Next, he uses his gadget ability to grab and levitate Guido off the floor with a small, red tractor beam from his red headlights.

We walk over to the third bell jar and then, I turn around, Professor Z chuckled and he drove closer to me slowly like he's going to maneuver me into walking backwards toward the empty third bell jar that vanished. I exclaimed, "Stop! Stay away!"

He grinned, "Ah, you're scared, are you? Time for you to go where you're supposed to be."

Suddenly, Finn, Holley and Mater arrived and drove up to me just for them to protect me. I smiled gladly, "Finn! Mater! Holley! Thank goodness you're all here on time! How do you find me?"

Finn answered, "We use this tracker to find you there."

"And we're coming to rescue you and Guido." Mater smiled and winked at me.

Grahana grinned evilly, "But you three were too late for now." He push the button on the floor and the bell jar conjured up to trap me in it. I cried, "Help!"

Mater gasped, "Kristina!" He became angry and then uses his hook to pull Maximo by the rear bumper which causes him to release Guido who shook himself rapidly until the duct tape loosen from his mouth so he can speak. He shouted, "Kristina, can you get out of there?!"

I cried, still trapped in this bell jar, "I can't get out, Guido!"

Holley then remove the wheel clamp off his rear wheels so he can get free. Guido then worriedly drove up to me and uses his lifters to pull the bell jar up, but no used and he's grunting. However, it won't pull off. I cried, "Guido, you can't take this bell jar off! The machine will!"

He stopped and asked worriedly, "What?"

I told sadly, "You can't get me out unless you use this machine to set me free. For now on, you have to get out of here and fast. Go without me. Finn, Holley and Mater will take care of this."

"No, I'm not leaving you because I like you."

"As a friend?"

"No, I mean. I like-like you."

"That's love, Guido. I love you too." I smiled with my batted, sparkling eyes.

He smiled back at me with his sparkling, batted eyes. Then, he is grabbed by Grahana with his magnet crane and screamed, "Aah!"

I cried worriedly, "No!"

Grahana laughed evilly at Guido, "You're not going anywhere, tiny." He chuckled as he push the other button on the floor and the machine activated. It started to drain mine's, the giant lizard's and the plant's energies. His eyes shifted at Finn battled Professor Z and Maximo fought back Holley and said, "Now to finish the spies once and for all." The blaster came out of the left side of his body and about blasted the electricity at them. Mater uses his deployable machine guns on his body sides and shouted as he shoot bullets at the blaster, "Stop!"

The blaster is now shot down and broken. Grahana shouted as it went back into his body, "No!" He growled at Mater as he uses his huge mechanical claw to lunge towards him and drops Guido from his magnet crane, "Why, you little!"

Mater smiled determinedly and drove under him due to that Grahana has oversized tire wheels. He swung his hook that is connected to Grahana's rear bumper and then pull him which causes him to fell onto his roof that is his head. Grahana shouted, "Oof!" He can't get up while he's lying on the floor with his roof-like head or something.

Maximo is looking around for Holley Shiftwell who snuck up behind him and then lock up his wheel with a wheel clamp before tazing him with an electroshock taser-like device before he passed out.

Professor Z is now cornered by Finn McMissile who point his deployable machine guns at him from his sides of the body. Finn said with a glare, "Give it up, Z."

Professor Zündapp chuckled, "Before you arrest me, the machine is almost completely charged." As he says this, Finn look at me with a shocked face and I was nearly passed out and dying helplessly. I fell on my butt and my eyes are slowly closing. Holley, Guido and Mater look at me worriedly.

Mater shouted, "Kristy!"

Zündapp laughed evilly and grinned even more as he watched me, "Look at that, it's your little friend! Let's watch her die together, shall we?"

The meter bar in this machine is glowing blue and one more black bar that is right above the piled up blue bars which means one more bar and the machine will be fully charged. I am now passed out and died. Guido watches me with horror, but became determined so he drove up to the second, green metal barrel of oil that is right next to the empty one, pick it up and then toss it at the machine, spilling the black oil all over the machine console. The circuits of this machine started to electrocuted and the meter goes down which causes to return the energy to me, the lizard and the plant.

Mater shouted with his widened eyes, "Dad gum!" Then, his deployable machine guns pop out of the sides of his body and rapidly shoot bullets at the machine, destroying it for good. The bell jars vanished and set me, the big lizard and the planet free. This lizard crawl off to escape on its own. Zündapp/Z shouted with his widened eyes, "NO! My invention is ruined!"

Guido smirked at Z, "Peet stop."

Finn uses his two grappling hooks from his front bumper to tied up Professor Z and then, Holley uses her electroshock device to tazed Z until he is knocked out. The machine started to explode and you can see steel bolts flying out of the puff of gray smoke. Once the smoke is clear, I was lying on the ground, still tied up and unconscious. Guido shouted worriedly, "KRISTINA!!!" He drove up to me quickly while Finn, Holley and Mater watches him worriedly.

Guido went close to my dead body, untie the rope from me and hold me in his lifters close to him. His lifter gently strokes my cheek and his eyes started to fill with tears. He spoke to me sadly, "Kristina...I'm so sorry. It's all my fault. I was trying my best to keep you alive and unharmed, but now I made things went wrong that I'm afraid of. I want you and your soul back now because... I love you." He started to sob sadly and the song, "You'll Be In My Heart" sung by Glenn Close and Phil Collins at Walt Disney's movie film, "Tarzan."

Glenn Close (voiceover): ♪ Come stop your cryin'
It will be alright
Just take my hand, hold it tight.
I will protect from all around you,
I will be here dont you cry. ♪

Phil Collins (voiceover): ♪ For one so small, you seem so strong.
My arms will hold you keep you safe and warm,
This bond between us cant be broken,
I will be here dont you cry.

'Cos you'll be in my heart,
Yes you'll be in my heart,
From this day on now and forever more.

You'll be in my heart,
No matter what they say,
You'll be here in my heart,
Always, always. ♪♪

The song fades and it's done. After few verses sung, I glow blue due to that destroyed ray machine. Guido continuously crying and my hand stirred a little with my fingers twitch slightly. I open my eyes slowly, lift my hand and place my palm on Guido's cheek. I spoke softly, "It's alright, Guido. I'm with you and in your heart so don't you cry."

Mater gasped, "Guido, look! She's alive!"

Guido open his eyes while the tears streamed down on his cheeks and look down. He gasps happily, "Kristina, you're back! I thought I lost you forever!"

I giggled as I got up and holding his lifter with my hand, "Guido, you saved my life and everyone else's."

Finn added with a smirk as he point his tire wheel at the tied up Grahana, Maximo and Zundapp, "And we arrest Z, Grahana and Maximo."

Professor Z yelled, "Once we get out of this jail, we'll get you all for this--" He is then shocked by Holley's shock guns from her center of the tire wheel and yelled, "Aah!"

Holley commented as she rolls her eyes, "He was getting on my nerves."

I look at Guido while holding his lifters with my hands and asked with a smile, "So, any reward you will get besides the kiss?"

He became puzzled with a blush and a nervous smile, "Well, uh, I don't know."

I grinned, "How about we go for a paradise in Hawaii? It's where couples go there for a date and the romantic vacation."

He smiled, "That's not a bad idea."

I chuckled before he and I kiss each other while Finn, Holley and Mater watch us with their smiles.
