BILLY STEELE: KID RANGER, IRON HORSE VS. IRON GIANTS

Then a torrent of silver spears impaled more cavalrymen and riders.

All eyes then became mesmerized by Dr. Satana and her heavy metal thunder robots. They pointed their fearsome firepower at all humans and Iron Hand.

Dr. Satana had followed the secret trail to Billy Steele’s lost mine. In her obsession to capture the secret, awesome power for herself, she refused to allow a family or home to stand in her path.. Lupe and any human life was an expendable obstacle to conquer.

General Custer ordered his men to attack this new danger. Horsemen with swinging sabers, infantrymen with sharp bayonets, and riflemen with blazing guns, all charged upon the six killer robots.

"Iron Hand, the double crosser still lives," Dr. Satana screamed in scorn. "I built him and now I will destroy him. It’s my iron will over this iron hand."

Further motivated by revenge, heavy metal thunder unleashed their inhuman vengeance. Copper Claw used his horrific hooks to scoop up soldiers like a vicious cat devouring some mice. Bronze Blades and Alloy Axes discharged their weapons of doom at the soldiers’ flesh and turned their blue uniforms to blood red as they hacked away like buzz- saws, while Steel Shield sent his demonic disc straight to Custer’s throat. But Custer’s horse was spooked and threw the general to the ground in time to save his life.

"Make this nightmare stop," Lupe cried to Iron Hand. The robot would defend his farm and family by stopping Dr. Satana herself. But as he confronted the female mad scientist, she drew the infamous golden spike, the spike that absorbed the power from Billy’s mine, and with a sneer, she dispatched the power at her creation. Iron Hand was lifted from the ground, surrounded by an unmerciful force and dangled helplessly at his one time master’s mercy.

Meanwhile, in White Eagle’s cavernous solitude, the Indian shaman tried to revive Billy and free him from the force field sapping the life from his body. Col. Tim continued to bang on the ceremonial drum to help save his son. White Eagle could hear Billy’s breathing becoming more labored. Even Col. Tim could sense he was about to lose his son. Just as Billy was about to lose his fight for survival, something miraculous happened.

The autonomous power from Billy’s mine invaded the Indian’s cave. The force, glistening with energy, surged through a tearful Col.’s body, knocking him unconscious. The prone military man could not see what was about to happen.

A bolt from the magnificent power struck Billy and the force field causing a dazzling light show. The radiating coffin surrounding the boy was gone; it disappeared as if consumed by a higher power. And more amazingly, the 12-year old had once again transformed into the majestic Lightning Warrior, more powerful than ever!

"Welcome back, my son," White Eagle said as he hugged his student. After making the sleeping Col. more comfortable, the Indian sage conjured up a vision of Lupe’s farm to show the Native American super god where he would be needed.

Seconds later, this miracle rider was atop a lightning bolt like a great skateboard to fly through the big sky and heavens and exact Nature’s vengeful fury upon the enemies of America and his 10,000 year old heritage.

"I am the thunder from God’s country taking your world by storm," roared the Lightning Warrior as he descended upon the battlefield that was Lupe’s farm.

The avenging apparition unleashed his lightning lasso and swiftly hogtied Dr. Satana.
