Chapter 1: Knightfall
Michael stared grimly as he turned KARR's wheel hard as they were on the run from law enforcement. It had been 4 months since Michael, Trinity, KARR, an Alternate reality version of Sarah Graiman and Terry McGinnis had stopped his evil doppelganger and NSA agent Jack Hurst had become President and had declared The Foundation for Law And Government a terrorist organization and had mobilized law enforcement to shut down that branch of the Federal Government. Mike, KARR, Trinity, both Sarah Graimans and Wilton Knight had re-set up camp at a Knight Industries Technology location in nearby Starling City, where Chloe Sullivan, a government agent who went by the code name Watchtower was helping them get on the grid and yet remain invisible.
Mike arrived at their location. Wilton looked at him with a look of curiosity.
"Did you evade them?" He asked. Mike smiled. "Yes, I did. That cloaking field we downloaded from the other KARR's systems will come in handy once we finish it," Mike said. "How goes tracking KITT?" He asked as he turned to see Chloe at a computer.
"Not good. President Hurst must have shut down KITT's AI before moving him. Can't we do anything," She asked.
"With Zoe and Billy out of action, we have to keep looking. Do we have any new technicians we can hire? April & Bonnie are in Russia investigating a lead on KITT, but not much we can do till they come back into the States," Sarah said. She stared at her "Sister" with a look of fear. This "Sister" had come from a reality where a militarized America had twisted everything, and everyone.
"We keep looking. That's all we can do," The other Sarah said. She smiled. She was in the process of applying for Social Security Card and Driver's license, which she did not need on the other side of the mirror where she came from.
"What should my new name be?" She asked. She had stared at Chloe, who on the other side she did not like, but this one she did.
"How about Carrie? A friend of mine named Carrie Ravai recently passed away so I don't think She would have minded," Mike said. Sarah turned to see the picture of Sarah, Carrie and Mike at a Christmas party before KARR came back into their lives.
"Fine. We'll need to call Dr. Mike Miles, the Microsurgeon who did Michael Long's fingerprint surgery to do yours, so no one will know who you really are," Trinity said. She again began to review the last 4 Months on a computer monitor. She was glad KARR had recorded the events.
Mike stared at his doppelgänger. They had defeated the Mirror Universe duplicate of Mike Knight and his prototype vehicle that had been designed with 22nd technology and Mike & his team of Sarah Graiman from that same reality that his doppelgänger had come from, Terry McGinnis, The Batman from 50 years in the future, his sister Trinity Jean Knight and her recreation of KARR.
"You're going home, Michael," Mike had said. They had activated the Portable Displacement unit they had installed in KARR and the wormhole sucked Michael through. KARR Then scrambled the dimensional coordinates, so no one could come through again. The man had gone through screaming and cursing at them.
"So now what?" Mike had asked them.
"Let's find KITT," Sarah suggested.
"So, you can corrupt him like you did to the Knight 3000 on your side," Trinity had said in anger that a Denizen of another reality was here to stay.
"If I'm going to live here I'm going to abide by the rules," Sarah said.
"Good, because as of this moment your all under arrest," spoke a voice known to them said behind them. It was Jack Hurst, acting head of the NSA and the FBI with about 50 FBI agents.
"Jack, we're on the same side," Mike had said holding his hands up. One of the FBI agents pointed his gun at Mike.
"You stole a prototype and used it to kill a prominent technician," Jack said. Mike gestured to Dr. Barstow who came out from behind the broken car. She held up her hands.
"I'm okay. I don't recognize this car, but I do recognize it by scanner color. It's based on the prototype Wilton Knight built in 1981," Bonnie said.
"You can't arrest us. The only one with that authority is the President," Mike had said. "I am The President, now you self-righteous asshat," Jack fired back. Trinity ended the video playback.
"How did Jack become President?" Sarah asked.
"I've still got some friends in the NSA and FBI. My access to my FBI files has been suspended but I created a backdoor password. Where's Wilton?" Trinity asked as she stood up to stretch her legs. She didn't see the Alternate version of her adopted Father in the new headquarters.
"Got him. He's talking with our new head of security James Preston about a new security facial ID software to install into the security cameras," Mike said as he spotted the man on the security camera. Mike turned to see the FBI logo come up on one of the computers monitors.
"I see you got in," Spoke the voice of Oliver Queen, Mayor of Starling City said walking in.
"Thank you for helping us get set up Mr. Queen," Mike said shaking the man's hand. Oliver stared at Trinity. The two had known each other before Oliver's 5-year banishment to an island out near the China Sea. The last time they had seen each other was prior to Trinity's interaction with the original Knight Automated Roving Robot. He was surprised to see her all grown up.
"I see you've grown up from the 8-year-old that my parents helped hide," Oliver said. Mike stared at Trinity with a look of curiosity.
"Wilton & Robert Queen were friends. It was Wilton, Robert, Charles & Lionel who created a sort of billionaire club. Cynthia Graiman was Charles's mother and they met. She knew Elizabeth Knight. I used to spend time with Robert Queen over the summers growing up. I've known The Queen family for years," Trinity clarified.
"About as long as you knew Lionel Luthor," Oliver added.
"Thank You Mr. Queen for letting us reside in your city," Spoke the voice of Wilton Knight as he came back into the office/charging station for KARR and/or KITT. Oliver smiled.
"The Pleasure is all mine, Mr. Knight. I've got the Starling City police pulling double duty in both here and at the other Knight Industries locations in and around Starling City. Have you been able to track down your other prototype yet, Mr. Knight?" Oliver asked. Wilton shook his head.
"My daughter is on her way. She is the acting CEO of Knight Industries. She should be arriving soon in Starling City," Wilton said. Trinity stared in shock. She had never met Jennifer Knight, but She knew the costs.
"Dr. Graiman is expecting you Mr. Queen," in aide that came in said. He nodded to her. She exited.
"Does Charles know We've got an alternate version of Wilton Knight here," Mike whispered to Sarah. Sarah shook her head.
"No, but fortunately we did a good job of faking his death didn't we," Sarah commented. Mike stared in shock.
"You mean when we originally rescued KARR 2 years ago, He wasn't dead?" He asked. She shook her head.
"He was on a flight to London to remove Edmond Knight, a cousin of Wilton Knight who ran that branch of FLAG down. We faked his death, so Jack would think it was okay to go ahead with KARR. They designed KARR with the exoskeleton. When Mike & KITT destroyed KARR, I had the pieces moved to a top-secret location, so we could still have a Knight Industries vehicle in place should KITT ever go rogue. Apparently when we went over to the Mirror Universe Jack Hurst had plans in place to replace the President. I had been in contact with my dad and he had told me that a special sniper force, a black ops team had been sent over. We fortunately had discovered in England the original KITT where my father had him shipped shortly after your father's retirement. This KITT was updated and protected my father while he was in England. He tried to warn the President, but He was too late. Charles became much like Trinity was, when she was younger. He was on the run using fake passports and fake IDs to get back into the US. He came in under the name Sam Wilson, a special ops superintendent who Charles knew back in the day. Do we know if the President's former residence is protected by Secret Service in Georgetown?" Sarah asked. Chloe smiled.
"No. Just got an encrypted message from Zoe. She and Billy are on their way back from an assignment that Charles sent them on while you guys were away. They brought over through special channels the original KITT. We had to make special arrangements with the South Koreans for the vehicle to be sent to the US. They had one condition though. KITT's memory be wiped. We can augment this 20, 30-year-old vehicle with the same weaponry that the Knight Industries Three Thousand had so it's systems will be upgraded. It's landing at a LuthorCorp facility in Smallville. I've got a contact there who got him smuggled in and some surprising information on Jack Hurst we should be interested. The only thing is we have to break into LuthorCorp to get KITT out," Chloe said.
"Where's Watchtower?" Mike asked. Oliver smiled as he came back in. "My team is in route to Smallville and will meet you there," He said. Oliver smiled at Chloe. The two had recently married and were trying to keep their cities safe.
"KARR, how long with it take?" Trinity asked. "It will take approximately two hours to Smallville and then 15 minutes to the local LuthorCorp location. I can use the cloaking mode I was installed with and get us in undetected. First things first, we need KITT's memories installed into this older prototype and per Charles's request I'll pick the team," KARR said. In walked Charles who stared at the younger Wilton with a look of shock.
"What the hell?" He said staring at his friend.
"Dad this is Wilton Knight, but he's a native of another reality. I'd also like to introduce you to…Sarah Graiman from the same reality that Wilton came from. We need to stop Jack, and restore FLAG to what it was," Sarah said. Charles looked in shock at this younger man who looked exactly like his long dead friend.
"Good to meet you, Mr. Knight," Charles said, shaking the man's hand but was surprised that the man embraced him.
"The mayor informs me your team is heading into Smallville," Charles said as the two men turned to the computer which pulled up a 3-D image of LuthorCorp.
"KITT is being held there. Watchtower has a black op team breaking into Jack Hurst's home in Witchita. He has a summer home there. It's unguarded," Chloe said bringing up satellite imagery of the home.
"Good. Who's the team leader, Chloe?" Charles asked.
"The team hasn't officially started, because they are waiting on the team leader, Dr. Graiman," Chloe said.
"Who's the team leader?" Wilton again asked. They turned when they heard Oliver speak.
"I am. Team Alpha this is Green Arrow. All systems go!" Oliver said. He was dressed in the costume of the Green Arrow.
"Chloe is my wife as well as the cyber hacker known as Watchtower. Charles will coordinate my team and Wilton will coordinate KARR's team," Oliver said.
"Let's do it!" Mike said.
