Grrrrr! I hate writer's block! I'm still suffering from it right now, but I'm trying to just get it done. Who cares that I have a final exam in two weeks? Am I right? So, I can't guarantee that this chappie will be any good, but… it's something.

Chapter 14- The Big Battle (Lightning's POV)

It felt familiar. Lemons all around me and my friends, grinning sinisterly. No way out. Eager to kill anyone and everyone. It was just like the World Grand Prix. That was an experience that I never wanted to relive. It was bad enough, thinking my friends were gonna die. And, now, they had succeeded in their mission of killing one of us.

There was no way Fudge survived being thrown off that cliff. Even if she had, with that ice cold water and those violent waves, she would've either drowned or died from hypothermia by then. She was gone. I couldn't believe it. I didn't want to believe it. How were we going to tell Luigi and Guido? Fudge was their daughter!

But, at that point, they didn't seem to be thinking about Fudge. Probably because they were too afraid of what was happening to question where she was.

"Finn?" came a timid voice behind me as the Lemons closed in. (I think it was Jeff, but I can't be sure.) "What do we do?"

Finn was silent for a moment before he began ramming into a group of Lemons.

Pretty soon, it was déjà vu again as everyone worked together to try and defeat the Lemons. Most of us were ramming into them like Finn had just done (that's one of the many advantages to being as fast as I am), a bunch of them ended up being thrown off the cliff. Just like Fudge had been, I couldn't help remembering. Why did I have to think about that? Why did she even have to have it happen to her in the first place? She was only thirteen! She was so young, so innocent.

But there was nothing I, or anybody else, could do about that. However, if there was one thing we could do, it would be capture the ones who had done this to her and get justice and vengeance! For Fudge! I thought to myself as I rammed another two Lemons and grinned at Guido as he zipped off the tyres of a bunch of them.

"Peet stop!" he yelled, trying to be heard over the wind and rain.

Mater was using his karate moves, screeching, "Hi-yah!" Finn and Holley had a variety of weapons such as guns and tasers, which they had to try and be extra careful not to hurt the rest of us with. Even Francesco's mother was trying to beat up some Lemons, believe it or not! She was a lot tougher than I thought! She kept screaming at them in Italian and Luigi told me later that she was saying that she was doing this for her little boy. I couldn't help but laugh when I heard that. Francesco's such a Mama's Boy.

Only Fillmore did nothing. He just hid behind Sarge, who rolled his eyes.

"I'm a pacifist, man!" he explained. "Violence doesn't solve anything."

"This isn't violence, hippie!" Sarge snapped, defending the two of them from an incoming Lemon attack. "This is self-defence!"

Despite our best efforts, the Lemons just wouldn't give up. We'd ram them and zap them with tasers, but they'd come back and fight again, doing the same to us! They were insane! The amount of pain that they were withstanding was unbelievable!

"Ahh!" an Italian accent screamed from somewhere to my left. "You hit-a Francesco! Do you not know who he is?!"

I was too busy watching what was going on around me that what happened next took me by absolute surprise. Well, part of it would've been hard to believe anyway...

A group of about five or six Lemons headed towards me! It happened so fast that I barely had time to register it. I didn't have time to move. I was frozen in shock. I was dangerously close to the edge of the cliff…

But then, something blasted out in front of me. I couldn't see what because my attackers were blocking my view. It looked like their eyelids were getting heavy. About half a second later, all five or six of them were out cold. It was the weirdest thing. At least until I saw who had knocked them out. Then that was the weirdest thing.

"Otis?!" I asked in disbelief. The guy was holding a sleep ray! Where did he get that? And what was he doing here?

"Oh! Hey, McQueen!" he greeted me casually. "These Lemons here thought I was one of them. So, they brought me here to help them defeat you guys!"

"But… you're on our side, right?" I wanted to confirm.

"Of course", he assured me.

I grinned at him. "Thanks!"

Thanks definitely were in order. Otis used the sleep ray he'd been given to knock out all of the Lemons! I'd never thought of him as being the hero type; yet here he was! Well, he might have accidentally knocked out Francesco as well, but hey. I'm not complaining.

Before long, only five were left. The five most dangerous ones. Professor Zundapp, Grem, Acer, Tedison and Fitzwilliam. I thought that we'd be able to handle them as well. After all, we had two secret agents with us and Otis had his sleep ray. But nobody was prepared for the series of shocks that would come our way.

The first thing was another unfortunate misfire of Otis's ray. It was heading straight for Mater! I don't know how anybody could've been able to react to it as fast as it happened, but Holley had managed to dive between herself and Mater at the very last second. The gas swept over her instead of her boyfriend. We had lost Holley.

"No!" I exclaimed.

Well, at least we still had Finn, right? Wrong!

The Aston Martin had used his grappling hooks to lift himself into the trees, unnoticed by his enemies, to launch an aerial attack on our enemies. The problem was with all of the battling we were doing, it was easy to forget about the storm that was raging on around us. A sharp wind came out of nowhere and the branch of the tree Finn was hiding in, the very branch he was holding onto, snapped! The British spy had a look of horror as he fell to the ground. Next time I caught a glimpse of him, he did not look good. He had several nasty dents and scratches. He was in a lot of pain.

Trees: 2, Finn: 0

That left the rest of us. A bunch of civilians against some of the most dangerous cars on the planet.

"Otis!" I cried desperately as a way of ordering him to fire his weapon.

"Oh, no!" he exclaimed. "I don't have any gas! I could've sworn I had more gas!"

Mater burst out laughing at that.

"NOT NOW, MATER!" Sarge, a bunch of others and I called in unison.

"What do we do?" Luigi wondered.

Meanwhile, our enemies were laughing.

"You fool!" Professor Z ridiculed him. "You should have saved your gas for the bigger threats!"

"But", Acer chimed in, "it was so nice of you to let us win."

"Only question now is…" Grem paused dramatically. "Who to kill first!"

"You mean second", I corrected them bitterly.

Everyone looked to me, curious and fearful. "What?"

I struggled to find my voice. "Fudge…"

That was all I had to say. Both Luigi and Guido burst into tears, mourning their daughter. Everyone else lowered their hoods sadly. They just couldn't believe it. Not even my fellow racers, who didn't know Fudge all that well, were in shock by her death. I saw it happen and I couldn't believe it myself.

"Fine!" Professor Z barked. "The little girl is dead! She was the first! Now, which one of you wants to be next?!"

"Hey, hey!" Grem shouted. "I thought we got to choose!"

Their boss rolled his eyes. "Fine! Who do you two want to kill first?"

"I say the spies!" Acer voiced his opinion. "They're the worst ones and this time, they'll come quietly!"

Professor Z grinned. "Excellent idea!"

"Yeah!" a new voice piped up, sounding just as sinister as Professor Z and his minions. "You guys can take care of the spies and leave me to deal with the rest of them! That's something I've been wanting to do for a long time!"

Everyone turned around at the sound of that voice… And gasped. I couldn't believe who I saw standing there with a gun towards us!

"Chick?!"

*Gasp* Did anybody see this coming?! Otis the hero (I just couldn't resist; he was already in Florida and hey, he proved not all Lemons are bad!) and Chick the villain?! Well, I had more ideas for this one than I expected. I hope you enjoyed it.

What do you guys think? Reviews?

Just in case anybody is confused, I want to just make it clear and make sure we're all on the same page. Fudge is not dead. Are you kidding? I could never kill her off! The others just think that she is because they don't think she survived being thrown off the cliff. I know it's sad, but I don't think that they'd think she could survive it! Good thing they're wrong, huh?

On a more positive note, I'd like to give a shout out to Agent Sandra Cartrip. Finn got defeated by trees again! In case you don't know, we've included that multiple times throughout our fics! In fact, we're trying to make it into a running gag! XD

Disclaimer: I do not own Cars as much as I wish I did. In fact, I do not own any car-acters in this chapter. I do own Fudge, Tedison and Fitzwilliam in this story, but they're not really in this chapter.
