OooooO

She saw nothing but darkness in the eyes of the armored soldier. And suddenly, a chain wrapped around the Deathstalkers neck. He dropped her in surprise and was pulled off the car. Carmelita dropped back into the car, she thought she saw a flash of fire on the roof of car. She felt gravity drop as the car fell from the truck to the rushing street below. Seconds later Scorpion dropped in. "What took you so long?" She asked, slightly dazed.

"I just fell off a fifty-foot truck, give me a break!" He put the car in reverse and floored it, speeding away from the truck. He sifted gears and floored the gas a second time, speeding off the road.

On the Devastator, Smoke roared in anger. "Open fire!" The Deathstalkers followed their orders and opened fire on the car with the trucks machine guns and missile pods. Scorpion took to the evasive, and started making zig-zag's as explosions of fire and dirt went off all around the beat up car.

One of the fifty caliber bullets took out one of the back tires, making the car go out of control. Scorpion saw the a tree line up ahead. "Come on, hold together!" He yelled as the car fell apart. He turned Carmelita. "Put your seat belt on and keep your head down!" She didn't argue, and did what he said as fast as she could, just as on of the missiles hit the trunk of the car.

The car broke through the tree line of the thick forest, and at about twelve feet in, the car crashed into an oak tree, destroying the front of the car and sending Scorpion through the windshield and into the tree.

Carmelita picked her head up, a terrible pain shooting through her neck. "Great, I think I have whiplash." She pulled herself out of the car, and saw the crippled mess that Scorpion was. "Oh, are you okay?"

"No!" He yelled snapping his neck back in place. "What did I tell you about that!"

"Sorry. I thought you dead." She said as he snapped some more of his bones back in place.

"You can't kill what's already dead. Now let's get moving, we're almost there." He lead the way, going deeper into the forest.

OooooO

By the time Smoke had gotten to the edge of the forest, the two were gone, hidden by the tree's. He yelled again in pure anger. Zach went to him. "What now sir?"

"Find them, even if you have to burn this entire forest down! I will not fail him!" Zach nodded and commanded his troops to spread into the forest on foot. "Where there's Smoke, there's fire."
