Oneshot 1: Black Out

Summary: Takes place during Dog Gone and it's sort of an "Alternative Timeline". What if it wasn't Jon's motorcycle that had a loose hub, but Ponch, as the buggy guys intended? What if something more was out of control on his motor? One thing leads to another thing, as people says.

They were chasing down bank robbers, as Fritz called in for their assistance as request. Of course, Jon had answered and Ponch, who were close to his partner, had heard it as well. Ponch, being the more hot-headed one, had caught on speed on his motor as he could. Yet, he had failed to notice that something was going wrong.

As the buggy guys intended, a hub on Ponch's motorcycle were loose and on top of that, the wires of his dispatcher were cut. How Ponch failed to notice anything of this was mainly of two reasons.

The first one was that he had other things on his mind. Especially the dog they rescued for a couple of days ago and which Jon didn't wanted to take to an animal shelter. Ponch was especially irritated that last night, Jon abandoned him with the dog in his motorhome.

And the second was simpley too oblivious; Ponch depended on his partner too much. Ponch haden't even thought about picking up his dispatcher and answer, since Jon was already on it. Yes, it was true that Ponch depended on Jon very much, but still there were no one else in the world Ponch trusted so much than Jon himself.

Back to today, they were on pursuit. Ponch kept ahead, a good long feets before Jon. Usually it was Ponch who had the "instinct of bad happenings", but now Jon felt his stomach dropped. Something was wrong, he had this dreading feeling of something bad was about to happen.

Jon didn't had time to think when his dispatcher suddenly interacted again. "Oh brother, what's up now?" Jon thought and slow down a bit while he waited for further instructions. Despite the dog thing, he still followed the procedure by the book.

"Seven Mary 4. 10-22. This is Getraer. Cancel the pursuit." Jon inhaled sharply, he was shocked of hearing Getraer on the dispatcher. If Getraer were sending a warning, then it was serious! But why haven't Ponch picked up his dispatcher or even pulled over?

"Repeat. 10-22. Acknowledge."

Jon heard the wanring again and now, he was really getting worried. "Ponch! Answer or pull over! Do anything!" Jon prayed quietly in his mind, why haven't his best friend and partner noticed anything? Jon didn't hestitated anymore and picked up his dispatcher.

"This is Seven Mary 3-" he started, but suddenly he was interrupted by Getraer.

"Why haven't Poncherello answered?! He's riding a defective motor!"

"I have no idea, Sarge. I suspect it's 10-7. Ponch haven't used his dispatcher, so far I noticed."

"Baker, just...get Poncherello back from his motor safely."

"10-4, Sarge!" Jon finished and kicked on his motor's engine, letting it catch on speed. If he could reach Ponch and get him back safely, then it should be alright!

Ponch, who didn't knew what kind of danger he was in, was still in pursuit. He had heard earlier a strange noise from his dispatcher. But every time he tried to answer, all he heard was buzzing.

"Hello? Hello?!" Ponch yelled into the dispatcher and shook it fiercly. Forbid his quickly heated temper and what he could cause! However, the loose hub on Ponch's motor's front wheel finally gave out and flew out on the road, still without Ponch's attention.

Jon drove as fast he could to reach Ponch, but his partner was so far away! He couldn't use the dispatcher to warn Ponch, even if Getraer couldn't reach him by himself. Ponch could into a serious accident! This was the worst thinkable scenario that could happen to him, almost tied to when Ponch was high on laughter gas and completely loopy.

Okay, maybe if he tried to call on Ponch? It worked when he pulled him over while being higher than a crate.

"Ponch! GET OFF YOUR MOTOR!" Jon yelled on the top of his voice.

Still no answer. Ponch couldn't hear him.

"SHIT!" Jon thought and bit his lower lip, chills wen down his neck. He must get Ponch to safety again!

Suddenly Ponch noticed that his motor began to vibrate violently. He narrowed his brown eyes in confusion, he didn't wanted to let him motor getting wrecked again or Getraer will have his nack and another file in his jacket! But he had an extremely bad feeling now. First the dispatcher that was acting strange and now this.

"This is really not my day..." Ponch thought discouraged. He tried to look everywhere in his motor if something was wrong, completely forgetting to look where he was driving. Then he caught glance of his front wheel.

The hub was gone and that screw was almost fslling out! No wonder his motor was acting weird, if he just could stop this motor. But first he had to call Jon.

He quickly picked up his dispatcher, still unaware it was broken. "This is Seven Mary 4, I think I got a broken motor! Repeat, broken motor. 11-99!"

There were still a buzzing sound and it worried Ponch more. He inhaled a shaky breath and yelled into the dispatcher, as it would make the thing react better.

"GOT BROKEN MOTOR! 11-99! REPEAT, 11-99!" he screamed, but to his dispair, he only got a buzzing sound. The vibrations was getting worse and soon, Ponch's own hands began to shake violently. His motor went out of control, swerving in the most dangerous way. Yes, maybe he wasn't aware of the danger when he was high in laughter gas, but being awake like this on a broken and out-of-control motor was a nightmare!

There only one thing he could do.

"JON!" Ponch yelled, he gasped terrified while trying to avoid other cars and trucks.

Jon felt his blood ran cold as he tried to pick up more speed, he could clearly make out of Ponch riding his motor. He must get Ponch in time, even if he had to pull Ponch away from his motor. Kicking and screaming, if it was needed. But at least so he could keep his partner safe!

Then he heard it!

"JON!"

It was Ponch's voice, no doubt about it! He must realized the danger and now, he probably lost control over the motor. That would only explain why he heard his partner yelling out like that! What if something happened to Ponch?!

Jon picked up his dispatcher, hoping that he could get some reinforcement. "LA, this is Seven Mary 3! Seven Mary 4 is 11-99. Repeat, Seven Mary 4 is 11-99! Need reinforcements!"

He got quickly answer. "LA, this is Seven Adam! 10-4. Beware for any accident!" It was Baricza! He was on his way and at least Jon knew he wouldn't face this alone.

Jon caught up so much speed he could, he must get to Ponch as quickly he could!

Ponch felt he wouldn't get so lucky after all. He should seen it coming and the first that came to his mind was those buggy guys that got so mad at him. He should knew better, but it wasn't in his nature to back down from a challenge.

Ponch suddenly shook from his deep thoughts, returning to his life-threating danger. Ponch tried his best to avoid any accident, but it was hard and he knew it couldn't last forever.

Suddenly Ponch saw to his horror that he couldn't get out from this, the motor began to swerve violently to left, he crashed slightly into a car driver and the next thing he saw was the last thing he wanted to see. A big, long semi truck which certainly not garanteered Ponch's safety!

Then the next moment when Ponch tried to stop his motor, he crashed. He had tried to avoid the semi truck, but he had leaned too much to his right side that when he crashed, the motorcycle fell on top of him and crushing him. Ponch lost any conciousness.

"Ponch!" Jon yelled and stopped his motor, worried for his friend's life and he ran straightly towards his partner. Jon pulled away the heavy motor and saw Ponch in a terrible sight.

His arm had a long wound, almost covered in blood and a few scratches and wounds that wasn't too serious. But he needed to get Ponch to a hospital and that quick! Jon tried to find a pulse, hoping that it wasn't too severe! Jon let out a breath in relief when he found one. He turned his head up and saw Baricza getting out from his cruiser, he ran towards them.

"Barry, quick! Ponch needs to get into hospital quick!" Jon yelled. This was crazy, but he made an attempt to carry Ponch away from the accident scene. He couldn't let his partner lying there in obvious pain. Surely Ponch couldn't be heavy.

Oh wait...yes, he was!

Jon pushed himself as he was carrying his unconcious parter to the sidelines with all his might. Only after he made sure that Ponch's airways wasn't blocked, he went straight to his motor and picked his dispatcher.

"LA, this is Seven Mary 3! Officer Seven Mary 4 is down, serverly injured. 11-80, Code 2." Jon called into the dispatcher and threw it aside as he tended to his injured partner. He pulled Ponch close to himself, using his legs as a pillow of Ponch's head in case he had a concussion as well.

"10-4, Seven Mary 3."

"Don't worry, Ponch. They're here soon. It won't hurt anymore..." Jon whispered quietly.

Ponch groaned in pain, it hurt everywhere. Mostly his head and his left arm. He tried to open his eyes, but a bright light blinded him.

"Am I dead?" he mumbled.

"Hardly!

That voice, Ponch cringed. He would recognize that voice exactly everywhere and it put him in a position that most certainly would make him sink though the bed. It just be Getraer!

Ponch managed to opened his eyes completely and he saw Jon, Getraer and Baricza sitting around him, probably they waited for him to wake up.

"Nice to see you again, buddy." Jon smiled and Ponch just grinned his usual toothy grin before hugging his partner. Baricza suddenly turned away, feeling very awkward.

Ponch was on his way to say something when they heard Baricza blew his nose in a tissue.

"We were pretty worried for you, Ponch. We really thought..."

"What? That I wasn't gonna make it?"

"Frank. You're very lucky to be alive and after you have healed up enough, we will have a talk. A nice, long talk about the dangers of a defective motorcycle and a broken dispatcher. Have a nice day." Getraer told him and nodded to Baricza to come along.

Left were Ponch and Jon. It took a while for Ponch to gather this new information.

"Broken dispatcher? That would explain why no one answered..." Ponch trailed off, realizing that he's been in the biggest danger yet. He looked up to his blonde partner and grinned again.

"I'm just glad you're alright, Ponch."

"Me too, partner!" Ponch replied, he couldn't stop smiling. He knew that Jon must saved him somehow. But he could get the details later.

Author's Notes

Yup. I finally decided to post the huge collection of CHiPs oneshots here, after a long time of doubt because it wasn't an easy decision. So, I began this when I saw CHiPs for the first time, which was in autumn 2014. I found out about CHiPs' existence by watching something I loved to watch.

Originally I'm a fan of the World of Cars and when Planes: Fire and Rescue came out, I found out they had their spin-off of CHiPs, so I was curious and wondered what that was for TV-show. I got the answer prett quickly when I researched and once I saw the episodes, I fell in love with out.

It was the best tv-show I ever seen that was about generally...police officers. Not only that, but it helped me a lot through a harsh depression I had lingering after my dad passed away unexpected in 2012. I'm still not over it (it's hard), but watching that TV-show was much to a comfort. It made me laugh. It made me cry.

I know this is probably ridiculous of me, but I would thank the cast, producers and creator of CHiPs anyways. Because decades of years passes and I found it as one of my biggest comforts and to make me smile again during darkest of times.

Well...enough with this over-emotional stuff. I got lot of oneshots to get up before bedtime, I think. ^^
