Chicago, August 17th 2000, around 8:30 PM; a peaceful night with a star lit sky before the Water front.
Two people are at sat at the Chicago Front Restaurant; Mara Hayfield; a 19 year old shoulder-length Brunette actress that performs in Local theater and is primed to go to National Theater. And Modo Jeda; a 19 year old male with short brown hair that is an Academy member of the Foundation for Law and Government.
It was supposed to be a wonderful night where young Modo would propose to Mara after being together with her after 5 years. All was perfectly going to plan for young Modo; until the Bank Robber that was working for Teddy Lamont came running through the Restaurant and shot up just about anyone that would appear threatening to him.
Just as Modo would try to his make his move to protect his girlfriend; Mara made the sacrifice of protecting him by shoving him to the floor and taking the bullet herself, which ultimately killed her.
Modo turned in horror as he saw the love of his life lying on the floor almost lifeless with blood pouring from her chest.
With her last few breaths she uttered these words: One man can make a difference, Modo.
And with that; she died in his arms. There are some that say that he himself blamed her death upon himself for not protecting her. Whereas there are others that think he wished he could have done something to protect her.
Modo would go onto become a member of FLAG; and during that time he had bottled up all his grief and sadness over his loved one's death.
In 2005; Modo had received the moment he had been waiting for as a FLAG employee; he had been assigned to the Knight Industries Two Thousand, or better known as K.I.T.T., as his partner.
Michael Knight had chosen Modo as his replacement for the super car's partner knowing that Modo was the right man to succeed him.
Modo and KITT became a force to be reckoned with against the criminals who operated above the wall.
Then in spring 2006; Modo had learned that Teddy Lamont had hired a rogue to steal a prototype Knight car named D.E.L.I.A. DELIA was eventually recovered by Modo, KITT and Modo's new girlfriend, Amelia.
Modo came face-to-face with the person whom he believed had a hand in killing Mara and informed him that he was going to see to it that he would be put in prison.
And sure enough; with a valid team work effort by Modo, KITT, Amelia and DELIA; the man that Modo had sworn to put away was arrested.
It would seem that Modo was finally at peace; yet he privately continued to bottle up his emotions about Mara's death.
Four months later;
August 15th 2006; after another case dealt with by Modo and KITT; they returned back to the Foundation HQ in San Diego.
Modo: *getting out* that case was exhausting, partner.
KITT: I think being chased by two supped-up Ferraris with violent intent because we ruined their drug-ring would exhaust us.
Modo: Yeah. Anyway; that was a long drive back from Phoenix. I'm going to go and take a nap. If you hear anything on the Police frequency, beep me.
KITT: I will only wake you if necessary. You need your rest.
Modo: thanks for that, pal. *walks off*
Somewhere; in another time and place across the galaxy; on a planet called Mobius, a band of freedom fighters were running from mechanised assault robots called Swatbots.
Sonic; a 19 year old 5 foot blue anthropomorphic hedgehog with red and white sneakers and Sally; a 20 year old 5"1 foot anthropomorphic squirrel with red hair with blue boots and a blue waist jacket.
Sally: Sonic! This is hopeless! There's too many of them.
Sonic: I had no clue they could crank like this!
Back on Earth; KITT began detecting strange readings emanating from South San Diego.
KITT: That's odd. I am detecting something on the Police frequency, but it doesn't appear to be criminal activity.
Modo: *yawning* what's up buddy?
KITT: My scanners have just detected some unusual activity on the South side of San Diego but I can't work out what it is.
Modo: Let's go check it out.
KITT: If you don't mind, Modo, I'd rather check this out on my own. If it's dangerous I wouldn't want you to get hurt.
Modo: You've got a bad feeling about this haven't you…?
KITT: Just a little.
Modo: normally; I wouldn't allow this, but you're judgment hasn't been wrong with me so far. Alright, but you come back, alright!
KITT: Absolutely. Thank you, Modo. *drives off*
Modo: *mutters to himself* I sure hope you know what you're doing, pal.
KITT makes his way to the source of the 'unusual activity' and it appeared to be abnormal energy readings that had created some sort of white dimensional light in an alley way.
KITT: *on com-link* Modo, I've found out what's causing the abnormal activity.
Modo: *into com-link* Kitt, you'll have to amplify your frequency, I can barely hear you.
KITT backs away from the light.
KITT: How's that?
Modo: Ah, that's better! I can hear you now.
KITT: I've found out what's causing the abnormal activity down here.
Modo: What is it?
KITT: It appears to be some white light, almost like a dimensional portal. A bit too science fiction for my liking.
Modo: hey, a few years back people would have said the same about you.
KITT: Too true.
KITT then hears the sounds of people in distress from gun fire.
KITT: Modo, I know this sounds strange but I can hear people in trouble in that portal.
Modo: Are you sure?
KITT: Positive. I'm going to help them. *revs his engine*
Modo: Kitt, don't do anything rash.
KITT: I'm sorry, Modo, but we all must help people in need. *KITT accelerates into the portal and disappears*
Modo: Kitt? KITT!
Sonic and Sally were still on the run from the Swatbots when something appeared on the horizon in the sunset that confused even the swat bots.
Swatbot leader: there is an unidentified object approaching us at high speeds.
Robotnik: *via radio* what is it? Show me your surveillance!
The Swatbot sends images of a black sports car with a red flashing scanner.
Robotnik: Odd! I've never seen anything like this before!
A small male approached his leader.
Snivley: Do you think it could be one of the Freedom fighters, sir?
Robotnik: Hmmm…we can't rule out that possibility. But let's wait and see what happens first.
Sally: *sees KITT approaching* Sonic, what is that?
Sonic: I have no idea…
KITT came from the horizon and raced past them.
Sonic: *in awe* did you see that?
Sally: Yeah…
Robotnik: Snivley! We must acquire that vehicle.
Snivley: Very good, Sir. *into radio* Swatbot battalion; capture that vehicle.
KITT: How did I get from San Diego to this? I wonder if Modo can make sense of this. *com-link* Modo, can you hear me?
Silence on the radio waves.
KITT: Modo? Can you hear me at all?
Swatbots: capture vehicle for .
KITT: That certainly doesn't sound friendly. *sees Sonic and Sally* I wonder if those 2 are the ones I heard that needed help.
The Swatbots form a wall in front of him.
KITT: But first I have to get away from you.
KITT reverses enough to get some space for a turbo boost.
Sonic: Sal, what is that thing doing?
Sally: I don't know.
KITT: here goes nothing.
The Trans am revs ahead full throttle and turbo boosts over the Swatbot wall much to the astonishment of Sonic, Sally and Robotnik watching via surveillance cameras.
Sally: That was amazing!
Sonic: Serious!
KITT pulls up by them.
KITT: Get in! *opens the doors*
Sally: *looks around* who said that?
KITT: I did.
Sonic: *Stunned* Sal, please me tell I ate too many chilli dogs and that I'm just flipping out here.
KITT: I will explain later, as I don't think explanations are a good idea at the moment. But you can trust me.
Sally: Sounds good enough for me. *gets in the passenger seat*
Sonic: I sure hope so. *gets in driver seat*
KITT closes both the doors.
KITT: Hold on!
KITT begins to pull away at 70 MPH.
Sonic: Uh, I hate to be rude, but could we go a little faster?
KITT: Certainly. *switches to Pursuit*
The speed gauge goes from 70-180 MPH and increasing.
Sally: Sonic…look at the speed readout. And it's rising!
KITT: I estimate there is a suitable hiding area 12.7 miles ahead of us in a Forest. Explanations will be made then.
Robotnik: I must have that machine! Its speed was phenomenal.
Snivley: I'm afraid we lost it off of our radars, Sir!
Robotnik: then FIND IT! I WANT THAT MACHINE!
Snivley: *cowering* Yes, sir.
8 minutes later; just at the edge of a Forest; KITT had stopped thinking that they were safe enough.
KITT: I believe we are safe here.
Sonic: For now.
KITT: Are you two ok? I took the liberty of scanning your vital signs and general body conditions and you both appear to be in good condition.
Sally: What are you?
KITT: Not what, who.
Sonic: Say what?
KITT: I am the Knight Industries Two Thousand or KITT for short.
Sally: Artificial Intelligence?
KITT: Correct. I am a super computer with a personality.
Sally: *looking around the inside* and presumably this shell is your body.
KITT: That is correct. This shell is the body of a 1982 Pontiac Trans Am sports car. And I also have an indestructible molecular bonded shell that protects my body.
Sally: Did you just say indestructible?
KITT: Indeed I did. But, before we go any further; who are you two?
Sally: I am Princess Sally, co-leader of the Freedom fighters of Mobius, and this is Sonic, the other co-leader.
The Trans Am had recognised Sonic for some reason and when Sally mentioned his name, he knew who he was.
KITT: Sonic? Oh now I remember!
Sally: You know him?
KITT: It was the only video games that my partner Modo would play in here.
Sonic: Video games?
KITT: Where I come from, you are a fictional video game character for people's amusement.
The teenage hedgehog was stunned to learn that he was a fictional computer game character from where KITT came from.
Sonic: Say what!
KITT: allow me to show you *shows footage on one of his monitors of Sonic Heroes*
Sally: Good grief!
Sonic: Who's that black hedgehog? He looks just like me.
KITT: That's Shadow.
Sally: Shadow?
KITT: Let's not go into that now. I have enough trouble with Modo playing it.
Sonic: Who's this Modo?
KITT: Him. *brings up his picture on his second monitor*
Sally is mesmerised momentarily by Modo's picture.
Sally: Where are you from?
KITT: I am from Earth in the year 2006.
Sally: That would explain why you're not from around here.
KITT: I was investigating abnormal activity on the South side of San Diego when I came across a white light that seem to resemble a gate way. I had no idea it would take me across time and space.
Sally: We'd better get back to Knothole before Robotnik's troops get here.
KITT: I presume that is who you were running from?
Sonic: You learn fast, Kitt.
Sally: We'd best get back to Knothole now.
KITT: Can either of you drive?
Sally: I've piloted one of Robotnik's hovercrafts, I should be able to.
Sonic and Sally switch seats and Sally begins to look around the controls to try and get a feel for things.
Sally: This is unlike anything I have ever come across before.
KITT: I am quite remarkable.
She hits the normal button and KITT's control read out goes from automatic to normal. She hits the accelerator and KITT moves forward.
Sally: *gets her small computer* Nicole, transfer Knothole's co-ordinates into Kitt's memory banks.
Nicole: transferring. *sends data to KITT*
KITT: information received, Thank you, Nicole.
Nicole: You're welcome.
KITT: According to these co-ordinates, Knothole is 7 miles inward of the Forest.
Sally: Correct. *KITT activates his radar cloaking device* what's that?
KITT: That's my radar cloaking device; So that the enemy cannot detect me.
Sally: Let's hope so.
KITT: It will. I can assure you of that.
