I started revving up the car when Blake called me over.
"Come on, man. Have some lizard."
I decided to stop the car and walk on over to see the group. There were at least six of them, counting Blake.
"Hello." I said blankly.
"Howdy. I'm Red, this is Dinki, Grimes, Hallow Mush, Garb, and you already met Blake." Red said.
"I am Fury." I simply said.
"Well, this is how it works with us. We remember the world for what it was, not what it is. We think there are places outside the Wasteland. Places where people are like how they used to be. Now, with you, you were born into the Wasteland. You don't know the world for what it was, so we'll tell you: There was blue and green EVERYWHERE. No-one had to kill anyone else, people had cars without spikes or armor. Now, with the oceans dried up, that's all gone. We beleive that somewhere, there is blue. Enough for everybody here and inside the Wasteland." Dinki said.
We were silent until I opened my mouth.
"Are you sure that they deserve the oceans to come back?"
"No. But out there, there are people who do, people who have it, outside the Wasteland." Dinki said.
"Even if there is a place, how do we get through The Big Nothing?"
"That's just it- we don't know. We drew up plans, but we could never pull it off with Immortan Joe and his War Boys everywhere. But someone released their grip on the Wasteland, enough for people to start living again." Blake said.
"You should figure it out then." I suggested.
"We have some ideas- armor to protect us from the sand storms, blocked off cars, maybe Immortan Joe knows a way out." Garb said.
"I'm not seeing my father again." I said.
This was several of the group got up and aimed thundersticks at me.
"You're one of his warlords?!" Hallow Mush asked.
"No... I was raised with the intention of becoming one." I replied as I pushed a thunderstick out of my face.
"Look, I know Immortan Joe. He doesn't send his youngest son roaming around. He ran away, and now he's with us." Blake said.
Those words caused some of the group to lower their thundersticks, but Garb and Grimes kept them at me.
"Lower the sticks." Blake ordered.
After they were lowered. I decided to keep talking.
"If there's a way out, it'd be beneath The Citadel." I said.
"The sewer system! That's it, Blake! That's our way out." Dinki said.
"Well, how do we get in?" Blake asked.
"Easy: You don't." I said.
"That's bullshit. There has to be a way in. There HAS to be." Blake said.
"I'm not sure." Dinki said.
"The Jaw. It has large tunnels from the old world beneath it. It could be the way back to the Blue." I said.
"That could work..." Grimes said.
"What about Scrotus?" Hallow Mush said.
"Scrotus was destroyed a while ago by a raggedy man. He goes by many names, but most call him Max. I call him The Road Warrior." I said.
"Max... Mas Rockatansky?" Blake asked.
"No-one knows. Why?" I asked.
"Max Rockatansky was one of our officers during the start. He was a beast of a man. Always carrying that Sawn-Off and blasting gangsters left and right. But now... War Boys are the new gangsters." Blake said.
"Possibly. But if we wish to leave, we must do it now. Father will be here soon..." I said.
"Alright. Let's gather up all of our ammo and Thundersticks, ASAP." Blake ordered.
ASAP? The hell does that mean?
All I did was load my Sawn-Off and rev up my car. I saw Blake knock on the door.
"Can I?" He asked.
I nodded and he came in.
"Man, this is a NICE setup! Where did you find the car?" Blake asked.
"...An old friend; Chumbucket. He claimed that he was 'liberating' parts for a car design. He lent me the frame and body. The rest, I scavanged from broken war machines, Roadkill, Buzzards... Over time, I created the design." I said.
"Damn... and the heads?" Blake asked.
"...Father wanted me back at the Citadel. But I couldn't stay. Not after what Lu-"
I almost told him what happened.
"After what?" Blake asked.
We pulled on the brakes and saw that the others stopped on the road. I hopped out and saw...
"Father..."
There he was, in the flesh. Immortan Joe, along with my brother, Rictus Erectus.
"FURY! I raised you better than this! To be wandering with Wastelanders. You are my second SON! Come home, Fury." Father said, holding out his tan hand.
"Go back to The Citadel? Let Lust RAPE me again?! I am sorry, Father, but I cannot go back." I said.
Father simply looked back and raised his hand, made a fist, and slammed it.
The cars were driving towards us. I grabbed my Sawn-Off and blasted a tire, sending the car into the sand. More armored ones were behind them.
"THUNDERSTICKS, NOW!" I cried.
Blake and Grimes threw the Thundersticks at the car, making it burst. We were still surrounded.
"Get to the cars!" I said.
We ran as fast as we could, but the cars were faster. Hallow Mush got ran over and obliberated.
"HALLOW!" Dinki cried.
We found the car and leaped in. I revved mine up and did a U turn. We drove as fast as we could in the opposite direction.
"GET THEM!" I heard Rictus Erectus cry.
