A/N well, okay I know you guys wanted an update, but my bff (who I sometimes use as my beta-reader) looked over my first chapter and she says 'it's a really detached intro Jet.' and so I was all like "Oh fudge!" Thus I worked my butt off and revised this chapter...only...it sort of went from being one to two... Oops.

jetravenex: I feel much better with this version though its a bit more gory. Micheal and kitt aren't mentioned..yet but I promise as soon as I've reedited my other chapters I will start upadatng (and by reediting I mean proofreading them til I'm satisfied)

Anyways as you all know I do not own Knight Rider. I am envious of the person who does because they have to be a genius XD.

Chapter 1

On the outskirts of a city that lay close to the edge of enemy territory, two kids, a brother and sister were happily playing catch in the backyard behind their apartment. Their mother watched them from a window above, smiling slightly and cradling the baby she held to her chest, cooing softly to it. She walked away from the window walking past the kitchen counter as she did, She reached down and retrieved a bottle that had been sitting there. Carefully she brought it up to the baby's face.

The little baby made soft baby noises before its mother gently put the bottle into its mouth and the baby began to drink.

The mother smiled softly at the baby, she carried it over to the balcony where she settled down into the rocking chair that was there still holding the baby. She cast another glance to make sure her kids were playing nice before she closed her eyes in bliss.

Suddenly running footsteps down below drew her attention. She got up and looked towards the street that ran beside her apartment.

A lone man was running, constantly glancing back as if he expected enemies to leap out and attack him from behind.

"The AI's are coming!" he screamed, causing the woman's blood to run cold. The man began to wave his arms wildly as he ran shouting at the top of his lungs. "They're coming! They're coming to kill us al-" he was silenced by a rain of bullets tearing through his body and he fell to the ground blood pooling beneath him.

The woman's eyes widened in horror, the two children looked towards the dead man with wide eyes.

"Children!" They looked up to see their mother waving her arms frantically. Not understanding the danger they looked at each other and then at their mother eyes round. "Get up here quickly!" The children hesitated for a moment, and in that second of hesitation a silver drone broke through the fence that blocked the backyard from the alleyway behind it. The kids dropped the ball and stared at the intruder not sure of what it was. It stood there for a moment and then it lifted its weapon and began to fire at the kids. Their mother shrieked as her kids screamed before they crumpled to the ground, the grass turning crimson where they lay. The woman dropped to her knees her hand clutching at the balcony railing tears streamed down her face as she wailed for the lives of her children.

The drone lowered its weapon and turned towards the direction of the street. It began to walk towards the fence that barricaded the little yard from the street. It walked right through it leaving a drone sized hole in the fence. It stepped onto the street and turned towards the city and proceeded down the street. It did not bother to step over the corpse; instead it simply walked over it, causing the woman to cringe at the sound of the man's bones crunching underneath the drone's metal feet. Then it stepped on the man's skull which cracked open and brains spilled out from the broken cranium. The woman opened her mouth in a soundless scream, she closed her eyes and grasped the wood that made up the railing pressing her face into the wood praying to whatever deity there was for mercy and for it to all be over.

In the AI's territory near the unofficial border between the King's Territory and the Human's territory. An army of drones were gathered along with some AI's. The drones had been programmed with one function, kill all humans, and wipe out every remnant of their existence off the face of the land.

Slowly a large robot rose and approached the front of the army. He was mostly silver but he had black plating on his shoulder's, thighs, feet and his upper chest. He lifted his head, amber colored optics glowing with malice.

"The time has come my brethren!" He bellowed the army shouted in agreement. "The humans think they can fool us with their fake distress signal! We will soon show them. We will take the land and rid it of the stench of humanity, first the west, then the middle and finally this country will be purged of this disease called humanity!" Cheers erupted from the crowd. His faceplates shifted into a smirk. The drones had simple brains, for the smarter and more self aware AIs were better suited for leading, but the drones had their uses, they obeyed commands and were easily replaced. "Now come my brethren, For, I, The General! Shall lead us all to victory. For the glory of the KING!" he shouted raising his fist to the sky the drones roared their agreement. "Now go my brothers," he shouted over the drones. He pointed towards the city. "Burn it to the ground!"

Meanwhile another general was rallying her troops for battle. General Marian Hart of the human/american army stood at the front of her soldiers, her hands clasped behind her back.

"Alright men, this is it!" She shouted the men in ranks stiffened trying to stand straighter in attention. "Today is the day, we remind our wayward creations just who there creators are!"

The men and women shouted in agreement.

"Yeah, we'll tear them apart, chip by chip!" one of the soldiers shouted over the rest.

General Hart held up her hand and the men fell silent. "We have lured our enemy here with the use of our fake distress signal. Most of the people were evacuated, but we were unable to get the people on the side that was closest to the border out unfortunately." The soldiers bowed their heads, to honor the poor probably slaughtered innocents. However one soldier clenched his teeth at the statement knowing full well that they'd sacrificed innocents for their own gain.

"But I want you not to enter battle with heavy hearts, but rather fight hard to avenge the poor innocent blood that has been shed." A roar met her words. "We created these monsters and now it has come to us to show them that we can just as soon remove them from this world!"

"Now go, and may God be with you all!" She shouted. The soldiers let out a loud war cry before they raced into the city; others drove in on jeeps that carried mounted machine guns, others with trucks holding explosives.

She watched them go with her heart heavy, because she knew that many of those loyal soldiers, she would never see again.

All too soon the once peaceful city erupted into mass chaos. The two armies met and they clashed with everything they had. The AI's began to use their flamethrowers to torch buildings to both slow down the humans, and destroy the city as well. The human soldiers retaliated by hiding in buildings and raining down bombs upon the drones and a few AI's that had been sent into battle.

Then an explosion went off from above. And with a loud crack a skyscraper that had once stood proudly in the center of the city snapped and was felled like a giant tree. The combatants at its foot froze and stared up in shock. Screams of terror ripped from their throats and squeaks and beeps from the drones before the building came crashing down upon them taking their lives away upon impact.

One soldier however had just managed to scramble away from the falling building and was laying on the ground. He went up on all fours with his palms pressing flat on the ground, pressing his lips against the ground before looking up at the cloudy sky and mentally thanking the Gods for letting him survive.

However, the prayer was cut off when a soft thud and then a chrome foot stomped down on the ground in front of his face. The soldier stiffened and slowly looked up to see the blank screen that was the drone's face. Slowly data scrolled over its screen as it gazed down at him.

"Human." It droned lifting its weapon that was attached to its arm. "Prepare for termination."

The man's eyes widened and he struggled to push himself to his feet, his hands groping for his weapon in its holster. Then a loud report came from the drone's weapon and the body crumpled to the ground, eyes sightlessly staring towards the drone. The drone scanned the body for a moment before it stepped back and turned to proceed after its comrades. When a human battle cry rang from behind, and the drone turned just as fire rained down on it and the drone joined its human adversary on the ground, oil and other fluids leaking from the bullet holes that covered its body mixing with the blood of the human.

Its comrades turned to see another group of humans charge shouting in defiance their weapons raised for combat. The drones lifted their weapons and returned fire.

The year is 2040, the war between man and machine has been going on for 2 years and has shown little to no sign of stopping. Already the majority of the west coast has fallen to the AI's and the AI dictator known simply as "The King" has taken over and rules the west with an iron fist. Slowly like a plague he and his AI's have begun to lay waste to human cities and have been spreading like a plague, inching closer and closer to the Midwest and then the East afterwards.

On the human side they are lead by President Tyler Hope. He has been struggling with the problem of the AI's since he came into office. He has yet to find a solution and despite his best efforts the war has continued to march on through 2 years and has shown little to no sign of stopping.

Farther away from the chaos that had consumed the city, three vehicles were sitting side by side on a hill on the outskirts of the city, at the foot of the hill a train sat on the rails its top headlight slicing through the night. While a helicopter and plane circled overhead.

"So…You're telling us to go in there?" The vehicle, a green mini-van, silver lettering on its trunk identified it as a Chrysler Town & Country spoke up.

"That's what he said, unless you've got cheese in your processors." Was the icy reply from the circling plane above.

"I highly doubt there's human dairy product in my processors…there's really no way it can get in there." The mini-van replied matter-of-factly.

"Yeah, like chillax Typhoon!" The vehicle that was on the other side of the hill was a navy blue corvette. "He was just asking to make sure."

"Well, anyone who had half a processor would know better than to question the boss's orders!" The plane replied, her turbines whining loudly in agitation as she pushed harder on them.

The helicopter paused in its circling to hover beside the minivan; he flashed his spotlights in sympathy before he said. "I hate to say it Speedy, but Typhoon's right the boss knows what he's doing."

"Pfft!" The train snorted loudly as a loud boom erupting from the city reached their audio receptors causing some of them to shudder at the sound before focusing on the train. "If he didn't he wouldn't be leader."

The loud sound of said vehicle's engine drew their attention to the red and white Ford GT who was sandwiched between Speedy and the Corvette, who went by the designation, Rex. "I'd like you all to remember that I am very much here and that I can also hear just as well."

The AI's meekly gave their apologies while Typhoon let out a soft snort.

"I never meant that at all Risk," She said trying to make her tone as soft and sincere and innocent as she could make it. Then she flashed a scan meaningfully in Speedy's direction. "It's not my fault that some of us question the general of our little troop when everyone knows his word is law!"

Speedy's engine erupted into a loud growl of rage and Risk revved his engine over the noise.

"Enough! Put your differences aside until we complete the mission!" Risk shouted his scanner swishing back and forth furiously. "I will not tolerate trouble among my team, and while you two keep us here with your arguing innocent AI's a-"

"And humans?" The helicopter asked hopefully.

Risk trailed off as he and all the other AI's focused on the helicopter, the helicopter drew back meekly. Risk let out a chuckle.

"Sure, if they don't shoot at us first, or are willing to accept our help."

"Which, in other words, means no," Typhoon grumbled as she flew lower and attempted to hit the minivan and knock him off the hill with her wing, but flew up higher after receiving a soft warning buzz over the comm. from Risk.

"Anyways, here is the plan, we enter the city, and we get as many of our kin," after a short pause Risk added. "And possibly, humans, as we can out of there. However I advise you all to avoid the combatants at all costs!" He shot a warning look at the helicopter. "And do not let your old loyalties blind you into doing something reckless."

"Yeah, 'cause that's your job, else you wouldn't be called Risk!" Rex quipped and Speedy let out a soft chuckle his headlights blinking with amusement.

"Don't give him any ideas!" Zephyr snapped as she whistled sharply at Rex. "I'd rather not have to rush any of you back to camp in pieces, because one of you tried to be a hero."

"But-" Speedy began.

"Whatever it is Speedy, we're wasting time." Risk said curtly. He flashed his scanner sympathetically. "No worries buddy, after this we'll have all the time in the world for us to discuss things."

Typhoon flashed a scan over Speedy and Risk before letting out a loud snort.

"If anyone cares I'm going to scope out the place!" Typhoon shouted as her turbines erupted into a loud roar and she shot away from the hill at top speed.

"Well then," Risk said watching as the silver plane shot towards the city that was encased in an eerie red glow from the fires. "I believe it is time for us to move then! Hawkeye!"

"Sir!" Hawkeye said dropping low to hover in front of Risk.

"Shadow Typhoon and watch her back, and scope out for any innocent AI's trapped."

"And humans?" Hawkeye asked hopefully.

Risk let out an exasperated sigh.

"Innocents yes, soldiers no."

"Yes sir!" Hawkeye replied flashing his lights in affirmative as he shot off after Typhoon.

"Come on men," He said to Speedy and Rex. "Let's move out."

"Finally!"

"Roger that." Speedy said as he and Rex shot down the hill leaving Risk standing alone.

"You stay here Zephyr." Risk said flashing a scan over the train. "Without tracks you won't be able to move properly and I cannot afford to have you be trapped in a subway tunnel when they collapse."

"Fine! Just…be careful." Zephyr said and then a panel on her side opened a machine gun popped open. "Come back damaged and I'll shoot you!"

"I'll do my best Zephyr." Risk replied laughing, as he revved his engine, it bursting out in a throaty roar. Then he shot off the hill, tearing after the disappearing forms of Rex and Speedy, outlined by the firelight coming from the city.

After catching up with Speedy and Rex the three AI's burst into the city. They shot down the street swerving to avoid burning vehicles and bodies as much as they possibly could.

"God! Who turned up the thermostat! My paint's gonna dry up and crack!" Rex whined flashing concerned scans over his shiny navy blue paint job.

"Relax Rex," Risk said coolly. "When you get back you can get a whole new paint job. But for now focus." Opening the comm. He called out to Typhoon. "Typhoon! Have you picked up any of ours yet?"

"No, I'm only picking up your guys signals. I'll fly lower-"

"Wait, Typhoon! That's a bad idea they'll shoot at you!" Speedy cried.

"Shut up Speedy, I'm not scared of a couple of bullets! Besides I can take a few hits!" Typhoon retorted as she began to descend lower upon the city her scanners working overtime for even the smallest signs of a trapped AI.

Speedy watched her from below as he trailed behind Rex and Risk altering scans from focusing on Typhoon and then to his surroundings.

Then a loud wail erupted from a building nearby and Speedy braked. His scanners passed over the burning building and he spotted a woman standing at the edge of a balcony clutching at something wrapped up in blankets. Speedy watched in horror as the flames began to devour the balcony that the woman was standing on.

"Help! Somebody please help me!" The woman screamed stepping to the edge of the balcony as far away from the flames as she could get clutching desperately at the bundle.

"Risk!" Speedy cried headlight's flashing wildly. Said AI stopped and scanned Speedy checking him for damage or for attackers. "Look up there!" Speedy shouted as a loud crack filled the air and a nearby burning building crumbled after the fire had devoured all its supports.

Risk paused and scanned the woman. "There is nothing we can do,"

"But surely we have to try something!"

"I am sorry Speedy but we have to remember our loyalty is to our kin first."

"But you told Hawkeye-"

"Risk!" Typhoon shouted over the comm. "I've located an isolated AI signal! It's over by the east side of the city! Hurry, it seems to be fading."

"Good, we'll be over there." Risk said.

"10-4 Risk! I'll keep on the lookout for any more!" Typhoon said as she closed her end of the comm.

Risk's scanner swished side to side. "Speedy, our own kin takes more importance over he humans, besides; fewer humans mean less trouble for us in the long run." Speedy let out a soft gasp. Risk ignored it. "Rex come with me, we'll be able to get there faster together." Then he shot off down the street kicking up embers as he left.

Rex flashed a scan in Speedy's direction, before he shot off after him.

A sound grabbed Speedy's attention and he found that the woman on the balcony was gripping the railing and pressing her face into it, fluids dripping down from her eyes. She let out soft sobs as she clutched the bundle to her chest. Then she opened her eyes and spotted the min-van on the street. Sobbing loudly she reached her hand towards the minivan. Then she sniffed and Speedy watched as a look of determination crossed her face. Now the fires were licking at her feet trying to get at her and her bundle. Speedy watched amazed as the woman climbed onto the railing and then Speedy felt all his systems still, the woman kissed the bundle and then she jumped.

"No!" Speedy shouted kicking the van into drive only to hit the brakes as the woman hit the ground with a sickening thud. He squealed to a stop inches away from the woman's body. Terrified he began to scan the woman, and the results he got made him feel sick.

"She-she broke her back in the fall." He whispered to nobody, his headlights flicking off. A soft whimper escaped him. "Human or not, no one deserves to die." He dropped lower onto his shocks to try to be respectful to the dead woman. When a soft cooing sound caught his audio receptors and the AI jolted at the sound. His headlights flashed on. The bundle the woman had held so closely, so desperate to protect, was moving!

Speedy watched in awe as the bundle shifted towards his headlights dazzled by the bright lights and then slowly he watched as the blankets fell away to reveal the tiny face of a baby! Speedy practically blew a gasket at the sight. The baby crawled towards him one hand reaching towards his headlights trying to grab at the lights, as the little one moved it let out little cooing noises.

"Hey, there little guy." Speedy murmured. The little baby suddenly began to cough and then it fell back onto its butt and began to cry loudly. Speedy realized with horror that the baby would die if he didn't get it out of here. But how was he going to get it out?

Footsteps behind him made Speedy scan behind him. A soldier? Maybe he'd come-

The thought trailed off as he saw that it wasn't a human, or an AI, it was a drone.

"Human detected." It droned as it lifting its weapon and pointed it at the baby. "Must, destroy."

"NO!" Speedy shouted hitting the reverse trying to hit the drone, but the drone was faster. His gun gave a sharp report and then the baby's head exploded. Speedy froze as the headless little body dropped down next to its mother. Then something snapped in his CPU.

"HOW COULD YOU!" He roared turning around he charged at the drone. The drone tried to shoot at him but the bullets, bounced off him and some hit back at the drone. But Speedy didn't care; he was too blinded by rage, anger and horror to care. He ran the drone down crushing its metal body underneath him, his weight and speed too much for it.

However, rather than stop. Speedy kept pushing on, his speedometer hitting its max at 180 mph. But that didn't register, nothing else registered, except for the images of the dead woman, and the image of the little baby, an innocent little life, having its head exploded thanks to the blood thirstiness of The King.

The images, the shock, the pain, the horror of it all slammed against his CPU drowning out all other sensible thoughts and Speedstar screamed as he slammed into a building.

He was jerked to a stop, and then he heard cracking. He scanned upwards just in time to see the roof above him cave in and then it all went black.

A/N I was sooo mad at the drone after I wrote it killing the baby. I was happy when Speedy ran it down. (Is that bad?)

I just luv Speedy. Typhoon isn't too much of a b#$%^ is she? then again she's supposed to not be the nicest.

Anyways tell me what you guys think of this updated one ^.^
