()=Thoughts

The next day Sandy woke up to something soft rubbing against her face. She yawned and opened her eyes to see a black and white cat purring and rubbing against her. She smiled and sat up, stretching out her stiff limbs and petted the cat.
"Morning little kitty. Are you by yourself?" The cat meowed once and rubbed it's head on her hand. She noticed a red collar around it's neck so the cat belonged to someone. She was about to ask the little cat where it's owners were until she felt someone tap her shoulder. She quickly turned around just to see a little boy stare at her.

"Hi! That's my cat Mimi. I was looking for her."

Sandy sighed and smiled at the little boy. "Oh so she's yours?" The boy nodded as the cat jumped on his shoulder. He giggled and gently patted the cat. "Mimi! I told you to not wander off like that." "She's a smart little kitten. You make sure to take good care of her." The boy was scratching the cat's head and nodded. He looked at the woman to find out she disappeared. The little boy looked around the treehouse but couldn't find her.

"Where'd she go?" The cat meowed and looked out into the trees by the park. There it saw the woman smiling at them as she disappeared again. The boy couldn't find her and shrugged. "Oh well. Let's go Mimi." The boy climbed down from the treehouse and ran with the cat to a car where his parents were. From behind some trees Sandy watched the little kids in the park play around without a care in the world. She sighed and walked away, clutching her pendant she wore around her neck. (I wonder if my girls are alright? I have to somehow find them...) Her thoughts were interrupted when she saw a red van across the street. She recognized it as NeoTech's van and quickly hid in a alley. She used her power to project a mirror in front of her to watch the van. "Damn... Mark must've found out I escaped. I have to leave this city and find Vitani and Aria." After a few minutes it sped off down the street. Her heart was pounding as the mirror in front of her disappeared. Looking at herself, she decided she needed to change her clothes. She took off her lab coat and burned it with her magic. The only thing she wore was a red shirt with a blue medium sized skirt. "Where can I find a clothing store?" Looking around, she saw that the coast was clear and began walking towards the local mall. As she was walking she noticed a few people stare at her. Oh Sandy Wild looked like someone who walked out of a modeling agency. She had light golden brown skin, full breasts, an hourglass figure, and her face looked like an Egyptian Queen's. She was beautiful. But the thing that stood out was her hair and eyes. Her hair was black but somehow bright red streaks appeared that ran down to the tips and her eyes were a deep shade of purple instead of brown like before. Those red streaks in her hair weren't there before and neither was her eye color. Turns out the bracelet she was forced to wear not only subdued her powers but changed the color of her hair and eyes. Since she wasn't wearing it anymore, her true eye and hair color shone beautifully. She could hear some of the young men who passed her by comment on how beautiful she was. She also heard some people who stared at her make mean comments on her. Like disgusting gypsies or other hurtful names. But she didn't care; she was a proud Gypsy and ignored their dumb comments.

(Those who don't understand will always hate those that are different.) She thought about the time she told her girls that and they didn't understand it. She hoped they did. She entered the mall and was surprised to see it packed with people. This was the first time she was in a shopping facility like this so it took her a second to figure out what stores sold what. She walked around a little bit amazed by the amount of stores in this place. Soon though she found what she was looking for. A clothing store called Luxurious Clothes. Sandy went inside the store and saw all kinds of beautiful clothes for women hanging on the racks. "Amazing... These clothes are so pretty." She browsed the racks and found a outfit that suited her. A Yellow blouse that came with a black leather jacket. The jeans were a deep shade of blue with some jewels imbedded on the sides that ran halfway down to the leg and ended in a star pattern. She picked out some boots and went into the changing area. She changed her clothes and liked how she looked. Sandy giggled when a thought came to her.

(These clothes are perfect! I look like a girl in a rock band!)

She walked out wearing the clothes and went to pay for them. Good thing she had her wallet with her. A gothic looking girl stared at her and smirked. "Hey now, those look good on you girl." Sandy lightly blushed and gave her the money. "Um, thank you. This is my first time wearing clothes like this." The gothic took the money and chuckled. "Want me to throw those old things out for ya?" She looked at her old clothes in a bag and shook her head. "Oh that's alright dear. I'll dispose of them myself." "Alright then. Hey are you one of those Gypsies I've heard about?" Sandy nodded and frowned a little. She expected the young girl to insult her but what she said took her by surprise. "You gypsies are really awesome you know?" The older women blinked in confusion. "Um... What? Are we really?"
"Yeah. I've done research on them and I love what they do. I also love their hairstyles and eye color. Man I wish I was born one." Sandy was glad to hear that someone like her was popular among some people. "You're beautiful just the way you are dear. And thank you for the complements."
"Eh, no prob lady. Hey, did you know there's a group of gypies that have magic powers? They're called 'Gypsies of the Earth' or something but when I did more research on them I couldn't find anything. I think they might be extinct." The woman shook her head and leaned in close. "Oh we're very much alive sweetie. See?" She placed her hand on the younger girl's and the gothic's eyes went wide as her hand started to glow along with hers. She looked at the older woman and smiled wide.

"Wow..."

Sandy giggled and let go of her hand, on the girl's wrist was a black diamond-studded bracelet that wasn't there before. "Wait, how did you? What?!" She started laughing as she admired her new bracelet. She looked at Sandy who had her finger on her lips in a hushing motion. "Mind not telling other's about this? I'm afraid they wont understand like you." The gothic girl nodded. "I won't. Hey thanks lady!" Sandy nodded and turned to leave but looked back at the girl. "You know, you're a nice person. I rarely meet people like you so I hope you get blessed with all kinds of rewards in the future." They both smiled at each other as the woman left the store. The gothic girl couldn't help but giggle like a little girl. She just met a real gypsy plus received a cool bracelet from her. "Damn that's so cool." She said.

Sandy left the store with her new clothes on and a smile on her face. It was nice to meet someone who admired her clan. She walked out of the mall and headed for the alley she was in before. she looked at her old clothes in the bag and used her power light it on fire. Soon it burned into ash and she sighed as she closed her eyes. "I have a new take on humanity now Lady Yumeria. I've almost given up but you showed me that there are people out there that know of us and love us. Thank you for showing me that." She opened her eyes and began walking down the alley towards a street. She has to think of where her girls might be. She'd tried to call them using Telephy but they're too far away to her thoughts. She kept walking down the alley trying to figure out how to get to them. Little did Sandy know she might have some help with that.

...

KITT and Michael Knight were on their way to Seattle, Washington. They sped down the freeway at 75MPH all the while playing Michael Jackson's 'Thriller' on the radio. Michael was singing along to the song and KITT was trying not to laugh at his friend. He was a good singer but he was hitting all the wrong notes.

"Michael you're not hitting the right notes properly. You're butchering it."

"Oh ha ha KITT. I'm a great singer you know."

"That you are but honestly you can't hit a high note to save your life."

Michael chuckled and patted the steering wheel. "Oh really? You try singing it then."

KITT made a electronic sigh and tried it out.

'Cause this is thriller, thriller night~
And no one's gonna save you from the beast about to Strike,
You know it's thriller, thriller night~
You're fighting for your life inside a killer
Thriller, Thriller tonight!

Surpringly KITT was a good singer. He hit all the right notes dispite never singing before. Michael was surprised. "Wow KITT, that was awesome!"

"Really? Thank you Michael."

"Now you can sing a high note to save your life."

"Very funny. I'll have to thank RC for teaching me how to sing properly."

Michael tilted his head. "Wait, RC taught you to sing?" KITT chuckled. "Yup. He and his friends taught me. Maybe you should ask him to teach you how to sing high notes."
"Hey I can sing very well thank you very much."
"Then sing a high note. I dare you."
"Alright then, I will." Michael tried to sing a higher note, which was honestly terrible. KITT wished he never dared him to sing. It sounded like scratchy cat's claws on a old rundown chalkboard. "Oh goodness..." Luckily Devon Miles called but had to cover his ears.

"Good heavens! What is that god awful racket?!"

Michael stopped singing and frowned at him. "I was trying to sing a high note Devon."

"Oh that was you Michael? Um, sorry about that. You can sing great you don't need to hit a high note."

"Tell that to KITT. He told me I can't sing a high note to save my life. And he sings better than me!" KITT snickered at that as Devon shook his head. "Well both of you are great singers alright." "Thank you." Both of them said. "Now Devon what's up?" "Are you almost at Seattle Michael?"
"Yeah almost. Why?"
"I just received a call from Edward. For some reason he wants to meet you at 7745 Washington Avenue instead of the hotel as planned. He sounded spooked."
"Did he say why?" Michael asked. "No I'm afraid not. I tried asking him but he hung up."
Michael was used to shady people hiding secrets, but this one was strange to him. "Alright then. Whoever this guy is, is trying to hide something from someone."
"Let me know what happens Michael. I don't like the way this is going."
"Me neither. See ya Devon." Michael hung up and sighed. "KITT plot a course to 7745 Washington Avenue." "Sure thing Michael. But why did this person change our meeting area?" "That I don't know. We'll know soon as we get there."

For the next hour they drove down the freeway talking about random things. They exited the freeway and entered the city of Seattle. KITT plotted a course for the mentioned address but something strange popped up on his scanners. "Michael I detect a red van fully covered with lead and they're emitting a odd signal."

"Where are they?"

"Up ahead. I can't scan the inside though. They're parked right were we're sussposed to meet Edward Fellos."

"This is getting stranger by the minute pal."

"I agree Michael."

They drove to their changed destination but when they got there a man wearing a security uniform was trying to put handcuffs on another guy with blond hair, a camera around his neck, and wore a white shirt with tan pants. Both were fighting each other as the blond haired man tried to run away. "Michael I think that's Edward!" "What the hell? Why is he getting arrested?" "Well he shouldn't be getting arrested, that other man there isn't a cop." "Alright let's give him some help!" Michael took control of KITT, he was letting him drive, and sped up to the struggling duo. He got out as the blond haired man ran towards him. "Hey please help me! That guy attacked me!" Michael stared at the guard and got ready to go after him but he froze. He saw KITT's scanner slowly moving back and forth in a glaring way. Somehow he knew that wasn't an ordinary car and got in the van and took off. The blond haired man sighed and rubbed his head. "Oh damn... Good thing you're here Mr. Knight. You must've scared him off." Michael looked at him. "Yeah, guess I did huh? So you're Edward Fellos?" The other man nodded and shook his offered hand. "Yeah. That's me. Thank you for coming here and I'm sorry for changing the meeting place. I blame those bastards."

"Oh no problem Ed. Mind if I call you Ed?"

"Not at all Mr. Knight. My close friends call me Ed."

"And you can call me Michael." Michael smiled at him. "So, first off you said you had to change our meeting place. Why?"

Edward scoffed and shook his head. "Like I said, I blame those bastards. That red van you saw belonged to NeoTech. I assume Mr. Miles told you everything did he?"

"Yeah he did. Edward what this all about?" he asked.

"Well... It started two weeks ago. On Monday night I heard a rumor that NeoTech was doing a lot more than making private planes and jets. Supposedly they're conducting experiments with animals and humans I've heard."

"Okay... So what happened?"

"I decided to conduct my own investigation to see if the rumors were true. I'm a private investigator so I do these things. Anyway on Thursday night, a week after I heard said rumor, I saw a crowd of people gathered at that intersection looking at a red van. When I took a closer look I saw what looked like security guards with their guns aimed at three women. What I saw next was so strange and bizarre I had to take pictures."

"What was so bizarre about that night?" Michael asked.

"One of the young girls with silver hair raised her arms up and threw the guards back. Without even touching them! The other girl, a blue haired one, grabbed the other by the hand and just disappeared into thin air!"

Michael furrowed his eyebrows in disbelief. "Just disappeared? Are you sure that happened?" Edward nodded. "Yes! That's what happened! I swear! After that the remaining woman got arrested as the rest of those guards ran back into the van. I took as many pictures as I can but the crowd of people started running when someone shot off a gun. I ran also taking more pictures when a flash of bright light coming from the van spread everywhere."

"So that's what that was. When you faxed over the pictures to Devon both of us couldn't make out some of them."

Edward sighed and nodded. "Yeah... It was chaos that night. They would've been of better quality if someone hadn't bumped into me and messed up my camera... But that's not the strange part. The strange thing was, after I hid behind a dumpster the crowd stopped screaming. I peeked out from behind it and saw everyone looking confused."

"Confused?"

"Yeah. I asked this lady if she saw that bright flash of light and she told me she didn't see any light. In fact, she doesn't remember how she got there in the first place!"

"Okay, that doesn't make any sense." Said Michael. "How could someone that clearly saw what happened have no memory of it?"

"That's what I asked her and several other people..." Edward shook his head, also in disbelief of what happened. "All the people I asked told me they didn't remember anything from that night. Which means that flash of light somehow wiped their memories of what they saw."

"Then how come you remember?"

"I hid behind a huge dumpster. The light didn't reach me so I'm fine."

Michael took a moment to let what he said sink in. There maybe is something going on at NeoTech. "Okay, let me get this straight; Three strange women, Guards being punched by an unknown force, and a bright flash of light from a speeding red van. Right?"

"That's right. Those photos I faxed over are proof of what I saw. This is why that damn guard tried to take this away from me." He showed the older man a suitcase that was filled with clearer pictures. "I had these pictures cleared up a little bit than the ones I sent you. Here, you can see them better."

Michael took the suitcase and sat it on KITT's hood. He opened it and browsed through the pictures. His eyes widened at what he saw. There were the three women and two of them looked like they were pushing something backwards, which was the guards but their hands weren't even touching them. The woman in the photo wore a white lab coat with a red shirt and blue skirt. The girls looked like something out of a fantasy movie. The silver haired girl wore a red one-piece suit with yellow stripes and the girl with blue hair wore a similar outfit except it was white with dark blue stripes.* The next few pictures he browsed through showed the same thing that he saw on the other pictures. "Whatever NeoTech is doing they're trying their best to hide it. Hey, these girls here. Why is their hair color like that?"

Edward looked at the picture. "Oh, they're Gypsies. I don't know much about them though. But I believe one thing; those three women have some kind of supernatural powers."

"Superwhat? I'm sorry that's hard to believe. But I do believe that NeoTech is doing something they're not supposed to."

"That's why I called the Foundation... The cops here don't believe me." Michael patted his shoulder. "We'll that's why I'm here. Thanks for giving me these."

Edward suddenly looked scared as his eyes darted from one place to the next. "What's wrong buddy?"

"It feels like I'm being watched... Listen can you take me home? I don't want to walk home by myself." He looked down the alley they were in and shuddered.

"Sure Edward. Hop in." Michael put the pictures back in the suitcase and got into KITT. Edward got in as they drove off. "Where do you live?" "4533 Orange Avenue..." He looked around the interior of the car and whistled. "Hot damn! This car is nice! It's like it's from the future or something!" Michael smirked and felt KITT's engine purr in an odd way. "Nice isn't it? Sometimes it can be a real brat." He felt a tiny shock through his comlink and tried not to snicker. "Hey I don't blame ya. My Susie can be a brat too."

"Susie?"

"Yup. I have a Pontiac Trans Am too. Except she's a Purple and Gold color." Edward chuckled a little. "Yeah I know it's weird that I gave my car a name."

"No, no it isn't weird. My car's name is KITT."

"Kitt?"

"Yup. Short for Kitten because his engine always purrs whenever he gets pampered. Haha-OUCH!" This time Michael felt a strong zap from the steering yoke. Edward looked at him concerned. "Crap you okay Michael?" The man glared at KITT's voice modulator as he blew in his hands. "Yeah I'm fine... Damn that hurt." KITT smirked in his CPU. He hated being called kitten. Unless it was Bonnie or the other female techs then he didn't have a problem with it. Edward smiled at him. "I guess your Kitt doesn't like that word. Hehe." "Of course he doesn't..." They kept driving and soon they arrived at Edward's house. He parked next to another Trans Am and whistled. "I like the color on her."
"Thanks. I got her as a birthday present 7 months ago. I love it." He looked at the other man and smiled. "Oh Michael? There's something else I got that you might need in your investigation too."

"Like what?"

"Hang on I'll get it."

The younger man ran into his house to get the said item while Michael waited for him. He looked at the other car and smirked at KITT. "Hey pal what do you think of Susie?" KITT's scanned the other car. It was brand new and only was out on the road for 7 months. "Well Michael 'she' is beautiful. But I don't care for the gold color."

"Aw. Why not?"

"Because it doesn't suit her. Purple and black would look lovelier."

"Uh huh. You only say that because you like black."

"It would look better though. Oh and don't call me kitten anymore."

Michael rolled his eyes. "I was only joking! Damn you didn't have to zap me."

"Next time think twice and I won't." KITT scanned the car again. "You know... If she had a fully functioning A.I I'd tell her to change the gold to black. It would suit her a lot more and complement the purple."

"Pal if I didn't know any better-"

"Don't say it Michael." He interrupted.

"Whaaaat?! I wasn't going to say anything. Hehehe..."

"Sure you won't..." If KITT had eyes he'd roll them. Soon Edward came running out of the house with a tiny box in his hand. He gave it to Michael who opened it. Inside was a camcorder chip for recording videos. "What is this?" "A camcorder chip. My friend I found out yesterday was there at the time the incident occurred. He recorded everything from that night and sped off before he was spotted." He walked closer and whispered in Michael's ear. "This is the main reason why I called the foundation. Please make sure no one gets this." The older man nodded and grinned. "Don't worry. No one will get this. Good thing I have a camcorder back at home. Thanks pal." Edward smiled. "Anytime Michael. I'll call you if I find anything else." Edward walked back in his house as Michael got into KITT and drove off. He parked at a nearby parking lot and took out the chip. He looked at it and inserted it into one of KITT's video monitors. "Okay pal, let's see what's on here shall we?" He played the video and could not believe what he and KITT were watching.

"…KITT are you seeing this?"

"I see it Michael. I just don't believe it. This defies logic in every way!"

Michael saw the part in the video where one of the girls grabbed the other girl's hand and disappeared as a whirlwind surrounded them. Michael was speechless at what he saw. After watching the video all the way through, he turned it off and ejected the camcorder chip. His eyes were as wide as dinner plates.

"KITT?"

"Yes Michael?"

"What the hell did we just watch?"

"Something that defies both logic and physics. I can't even compute how that happened."

Michael started up the car and drove off. What Edward said was true. NeoTech was doing something illegal. And this chip plus the pictures were proof. "I don't think this is going to be an ordinary case pal…" "I agree. This makes no sense at all… No human is capable of using Supernatural powers…" "But apparently they can… Those girls can."

"Michael should we tell Devon about this?"

"He won't believe it, but we should. Call him will ya?"

"Okay Micha-What the?" KITT did a scan of the street they were on and heard a woman screaming. "Michael!"
"What is it KITT?"
"I just picked up a woman screaming on my scanners! It's coming from that alley up ahead!"
"All right, lets go buddy!"

Michael sped up towards the alley KITT mentioned and saw the same security guard trying to arrest a woman. She was kicking and screaming when he grabbed her. He also saw the same red van parked just out of view on the main street. "KITT is that the same van and the same guard that attacked Edward?" The A.I did a quick scan and confirmed it. "Yes it is Michael."

"Damn these guys putting their hands on a woman like that!" He quickly got out and ran towards the man. "Hey!" The guard looked up and saw the same man that got in his way when he was trying to catch Edward.

"The hell?!" He quickly pulled a gun and pointed it to the woman's head. Michael stopped and held his arms up. "Hey buddy don't get any ideas! Just let her go and no one will get hurt."

"Shut the fuck up! This damn Gypsy is a wanted woman and she's coming with me!"

"A wanted woman? Look you're not a cop alright? Now put down the gun." He started to walk closer but the guard cocked the gun and held her arms tight, making the woman yelp in pain.

"What should I do Michael?" Whispered KITT from the comlink.

"When I give the signal, sound your police sirens." He whispered to the comlink.

"Okay Michael." The ex-cop looked at the woman who was struggling to break free of the man's hold. "Listen, I don't want anyone here to get hurt, just put the gun down and let the woman go." The guard shoved the gun to the woman's head as he glared at Michael. "Didn't you hear me dammit?! This Gypsy is a wanted criminal! My boss wants her back and no one, not you or the damn cops is going to stop me! You take one step closer and I'll blow her fucking brains out!"

The woman started squrming and kicking the armed guard, even trying to bite him. "Let me go! Let me go dammit!" "OW! Stupid bitch! Quit squirming!" Michael saw the guard was distracted trying to control the woman so he crept up on him and swiftly punched him in the stomach. The woman saw her chance and tried to run, only to have the man point the gun at both her and Michael. "NOW KITT!" he yelled. KITT started up his police sirens and made them sound like they were everywhere at once. The startled guard looked around for the cops as Michael led the terrified woman to KITT. She got inside and quickly looked around. "W-who are you?!" "Don't worry, just stay here and don't leave the car!" Michael ran to the confused man and punched him in the face, making him drop his gun as the other man kicked it away. The guard punched back but Michael blocked it with his arm. He tried to hold him down but the guard was unusualy strong and was gaining the upper hand. He hit Michael in his stomach and quickly kicked him, making him fall on the ground and go unconcious. KITT revved his engine in anger at seeing his friend get hurt by that brute. "Hang on Michael! I'm coming!" KITT drove to his friend and fired off a warning shot at the guard, making him take a step back and run towards his van. KITT make his engine growl in frustration as the red van sped off. KITT couldn't pick him up on his scanners anymore. But that didn't matter, Michael was injured badly in the fight and broke his collarbone in the fall. The A.I. made a quick u-turn and gently nudged the unconcious man.

"Michael! Michael! Please wake up! Michael!"

The woman saw the fight and got out of the car. She sat next to him and looked over his injuries. "You poor man... You got hurt because of me... Don't worry I'll make sure you're healed up." She closed her eyes and waved her hands over him. Soon a light orange glow surrounded him as his injuries and bruises healed up. KITT watched in amazement at what he's seeing. Soon Michael's injuries were healed and he woke up.

"Ugh... What hit me?"

"Michael! Oh thank goodness you're alright!"

"KITT?" He slowly sat up and looked around, then remembered that man with the gun. "KITT where is he?! I don't see him"

"He ran off after I fired a warning shot from my scanner. The coward."

"Oh... I see. Did you see where he went?"

"No Michael... I'm sorry." Michael smiled and petted his friends bumper, which made him purr a little. He noticed that he wasn't in pain or had any injuries on him. "Hey pal what happened to me? I was banged up bad."

"Well why don't you ask her sitting next to you? I'm trying to compute what excatly she did to heal your wounds." Michael turned and looked at the woman who was staring at both of them. She looked nervous about something as she played with her fingers. "Did you somehow heal my wounds?"

"Um... Yes. I did." She grabbed his hand and gently held it. "Sir, thank you so much for saving me from that goon."

"Yeah.. No problem. Are you hurt miss?"

"No I'm alright." She smiled and stood up, then bowed. "My name is Sandy Wild. And like that man said, I am a Gypsy." Michael stood up and dusted off his pants. "And I'm Michael Knight. This is my buddy and partner, KITT."

KITT's scanner made a wooshing sound. "Nice to meet you Miss Wild."

Sandy couldn't believe what she was seeing. A talking car. She gently put her hand on his roof as a warm and cozy feeling suddenly washed over the Trans Am. "A Knight and his companion... Oh it's like the stories I've heard when I was a child." Michael smiled as KITT's engine started purring loudly. "What is this I'm feeling? It feels nice..." Sandy giggled. "I'm doing this. It's my way of thanking you KITT."
"Okay... This feels so good..." Michael was watching her relax KITT and couldn't help but stare at how beautiful she was. She was the most beautiful woman he'd laid his eyes on. Sandy noticed him staring at her which made her blush. "Um.. Mr. Knight? Why are you staring at me?" He shook his head and waved his hand. "Oh um, sorry. I was just thinking something is all. Hey, you said you were a gypsy?" She nodded as she rubbed her hands on KITT's roof. "I am. I'm from a special clan called Gypsies of the Earth. We're the only ones who can use magic. As you can see, I healed your wounds from eariler."

"Yeah I noticed. And thank you for that." He rubbed his head and sighed. "Wow... Me and KITT honestly didn't believe that Gypsies had powers like you do. This is hard to believe."

"Oh but it's true. Our holy Goddess, Lady Yumeria blessed us with her powers."

"Lady Yumeria?" Asked Michael.

"Lady Yumeria of the Twilight Mystics. In mythology She's a ancient deity that created the Gypsies 7000 years ago suspossly." Said KITT. "There's nothing much about her though. Most of the history behind her has been lost." Sandy smiled and petted him. "Amazing KITT, that's, as you say, right on the money." Michael leaned against KITTs bumper and looked at Sandy. "Now I believe that. And I dont read much about Myths."
"It's true. In fact, in my clan there's always one who can use a stronger power than the others. They're called Mystics and I'm one of them."
"And what excatly are these Mystics?" He asked.

"They're special kind of Gypsies that can communicate with spirits. Let me show you." She put her hands on KITTs roof and closed her eyes. After a few minutes she opened them and chuckled. "Did you hear what I said to you KITT?"

"You said that I'm a remarkible being and that I care about my family and friends..." KITT was silent for a moment before he spoke again. "Excuse me but how on earth did you do that?" She laughed as Michael blinked. "How did? Wha-what did you do?"

"I spoke to him using Telepathy. Only Mystics in my clan can do it."

"Wow! Okay, that was amazing!" Said Michael.

"Thank you Mr. Knight. Mystics can do other things too that others of my can cannot do." She suddenly had a saddened look on her face as she turned away. "And thats why that evil man wanted to capture me..."

Before he could ask why, KITT cut in. "Michael we should leave this alley."

"Why pal?"

"I get the sudden feeling we're being watched. But I'm picking up nothing on my scanners."

Sandy shuddered as she looked around. "Mr. Knight? I-is it okay if I stay with you for awhile? Those men in the red vans are after me still..."

He nodded and both got into KITT and drove off. That's when the A.I said something that got his driver's attention. "Michael I think she's the woman we saw on the video."

"Now that you mention it..." He looked at her. "She does KITT."

"What video? I don't understand." She said.

"Me and KITT got a call from a friend out here that saw strange things a few days ago. Here I'll show ya. Play the video KITT."

"Sure Michael." He replayed the video and Sandy immediatly got scared. "Oh no... Now everyone will know what we truly are and hunt us down like those evil men!"

"I wouldn't be too sure about that Sandy." Said Michael. "My friend told me that that bright light you just saw wiped everyones memory of what happened that night. Only him plus his friend saw everything without getting hit by that light."

She breathed a sigh of relief. "Oh thank goodness. I can't attract too much attention to myself."

"KITT rewind the video a bit... right... there!" The video stopped on two girls standing next to her. "Do you know those girls Sandy?" The woman looked at the video and smiled sadly. "Yes I know them. They're my daughters, Vitani and Aria."

"Your daughters?"

"Well, I adopted them when their real parents passed away. They're Mystics like I am. Except they can't control their power all that well yet."

"I see. Hey mind if I ask a question?"

"Sure." She looked at him.

"First off, I work for the Foundation for Law And Goverment. F.L.A.G for short. We help people and stop the bad guys the cops can't touch. My friend I mentioned eariler, his name is Edward and he called us saying that some company called NeoTech is doing inhumane experiments. He gave me that video you just watched and some pictures he took the night all that chaos happened. Since you're the person in that video and in the pictures I want to ask you; Do you work for NeoTech and if you do, what is it that they're doing over there? How are you and your daughters involved?"

Sandy didn't say anything for a while and looked down. "...I..I can't...I'm scared. More so scared of what they'll do to my girls when they find them."

Michael put KITT on Auto Cruise and put his hand on her shoulder. "After everything's that happened I'd be scared too. But I need to know what connection you have to them."

"...They're nothing but monsters." She said looking into his eyes. "The owner, Mark Avalon is trying to create a machine that will enhance human DNA and turn them into superhumans. But in order to do that he needs my girls. Their DNA used to be normal but..."

"But what?"

"Mark forced me to mutate my daughter's DNA as part of his plan. I of course didn't know that at the time. I used to work there as a scientist studying medicine. Turns out Mark used my own daughters as guinea pigs."

"Sandy... sorry but I still don't understand. How is their DNA not normal?" He asked.

She turned her head away and sighed. "Inside their bodies is a special metal alloy that acts like internal armor. It's controled by using their powers and a chip that's inplanted in their heads. For example, if a vehicle like KITT gets a virus or has damage, all they have to do is simply touch and part of their metal-like DNA will be absorbed. Repairing any damage that has been done." She started tearing up. "I found out that Mark did something else to my girls but I don't know what and now my girls are missing!" Michael gently hugged her and let her cry in his shoulder. Seems like there's more to this company than meets the eye. Michael thought on what he was going to do next.

(Damn... What the hell is NeoTech and what is their goal? I don't like the looks of this...)

KITT was the next one to speak up. "Miss Wild? Where are your daughters if you don't mind me asking?"

She wiped her eyes and shook her head. "I don't know... Last time I saw them they used their magic to teleport somewhere to safety... I hope the Goddess is protecting them."

"Don't worry Sandy. We'll get to the bottom of this and we'll find your girls." He kissed her on her forhead and smiled. "Count on it."

Sandy smiled as she leaned back in the seat. "Thank you so much Michael Knight. You have a good heart."

Michael chuckled. "Don't I always?"

"Michael should we call Devon and explain to him everything that's happened? Because honestly, he won't believe this..." Said KITT.

"I know he won't. But once we show him the evidance he will." He smirked

"Um.. Who's Devon?" Asked Sandy.

"Oh he's the Director of F.L.A.G. A nice guy once you get around the uptight british accent."

"Oh don't let him hear you say that Michael." Chuckled KITT.

"I won't amigo."

Sandy looked out the window and smiled again. Her Goddess sent help her way and she was glad to hear that these people will help her find her daughters. And to expose NeoTech for what they truly are.

"Oh I forgot to ask you. That guy that was trying to kidnap you, is he working for this Mark Avalon?" asked Michael.

She nodded and spoke in a soft voice. "Mark has guards all over that place. The red vans are his."

"I knew it. Are they fitted with anything that could disrupt electrical systems?"

"I dont know for sure..." She said. "I do know that they're coated with lead paint."

"No wonder I couldn't scan the inside." Said KITT. "Ugh! That just grinds my gears! What are those cowards trying to hide? We know who they truly are."

"I agree with you there pal." A beeping sound could be heard coming from one of the moniters. "Devon's calling, but it's audio feed."

"Patch it through." Michael press a few buttons and the sound of light static could be heard.

"Michael? Are you there?" A british voice came through the speakers.

"Yo Devon! What happened? I can hear you but can't see you."

"Oh I'm terribly sorry Michael. I'm in the Semi with Bonnie and she's fixing a glitch that's messing up our video feed. Did you meet with Edward?"

"Oh we sure did. And you are not going to believe the story we have for ya." Said Michael.

"I assume it's good news?" Asked Devon.

"That and more. Hey were are you? We can meet up if you're in Seattle."

"We'll be on the outskirts of the city near an empty parking lot. We'll arrive in 15 minutes."

"Okay, I'll meet you there. Oh! And I'm bringing a guest who knows alot about NeoTech. Among other things..." He looked at Sandy who shrugged, not getting his term.

"Alright then. I'll be happy to meet her. I'll see you both soon!" KITT ended the connection and sighed electonicilly. "He'll never believe this..."
"Neither will Bonnie. But hey, I'd love to see their reactions to Sandy."
Sandy giggled and shook her head. "I'm not into using my power to scare Michael."
"Oh no no, not scare them." He laughed. "Okay maybe a little."

"Michael." KITT said in a warning tone.

"What mang?" He laughed some more as Sandy started laughing as well. "Well, I'll show only a little of my powers. But that's it."

"Okay, deal." Michael let KITT drive and relaxed in his seat. Sandy and KITT decided to talk about ancient Myths while on their way there. This day was just getting weirder and weirder for Michael.

...

KARR meanwhile was watching the girls and surfing the web downloading as they played around with a huge ball they found in their new home. He suddenly shuddered as if a cold wind passed through his metal body.

(How strange... It's like I felt a ominous chill run down my body... I better be on the lookout for anything that could harm my charges.)

"KARR?" Aria was calling him for the longest and when he didnt answer she got worried.

"Oh, yes Aria?"

"Are you alright? I've been calling you for ten minutes..." She had a worried look on her face and KARR chuckled. "I'm fine dear. I was downloading some new information so that's why I didn't hear you."

Aria sighed in relief and patted his hood. "Thank goodness, I got worried for a second."

"Was there something you wanted?" He asked.

She shook her head. "Oh, well no. I'll leave you to your downloading thing!" She ran off to play with her sister who was balencing herself on the ball using her magic. As KARR watched them, he couldn't shake the feeling that something was going to happen soon. Scanning the area he found no threat so he continued watching his girls play.

Author's Note: *When I described what Vitani and Aria were wearing I got the idea from the anime Code Geass's CC. (See-2) Charater. Except I modifyed the clothes so it wouldn't look like a straight jacket binding like suit.* I hope you enjoyed the chapter! Sorry there wasnt much of KARR but next time he'll be in it lots more! :D R&R please!
