Chapter 5: Chase

Michael tied in the alien tablet He had gotten in the past from his great-great-grandfather Vladimir Knight into KITT as he was afraid if He tied it into KARR it would activate the vehicle. He had learned the name Kelor from Vladimir and he spoke to the tablet as he sat in a chair in the unused warehouse that He knew Tony and Rev would use to house KARR and themselves.

"Greetings Michael Knight. My name is Kelor. How may I assist you?" the alien tablet spoke.

"We are scanning for Randy Merritt as he is in the year 2018. He's here in the year 1981. We need to find him. We also need to find the time displacement device he used to arrive here in and shut it down and bring him home to 2018 to prove my innocence," Michael said, sadly. KITT spoke up.

"Which vehicle will you use to take down Randy?" KITT asked. Michael stared at KARR. then back at KITT.

"I'll use KARR as I need to get him back to Knight Estate anyway," Michael finally said.

"You might want to partially activate KARR so you can have access to my systems," KITT suggested. Michael stared at the Mustang in awe.

"How do I do that? I couldn't do that with the original KITT in this era," Michael said. He climbed into the Mustang.

"That's because KARR is not a car you want to mess with," Spoke up a voice He didn't think He would hear from again. He stared at Dr. Barstow as she had discovered their hideout. She stepped over the trash to see both cars.

"What is this?" She asked as Michael climbed out of the Knight Three Thousand.

"This is the Knight Automated Roving Robot, the prototype Wilton Knight just finished. The programming protocols aren't installed yet, but still don't want to activate KARR as it has an aggressive personality. KITT says I can remotely use some of KITT's functions from KARR," Michael said.

"KITT?" She asked. "Excuse me, forgot to introduce my partner. KITT, your up," Michael said leaning on KARR.

"Greetings Dr. Barstow. I am the Knight Industries Three Thousand, the successor to the Knight Industries Two Thousand. I am equipped with some sophisticated equipment that Michael can use remotely from KARR, provided KARR remains for the most part, deactivated," KITT said.

"Michael?" She asked. "My name is Michael Knight and I was sent here to the past from the year 2018 by a man named Randy Merritt, a young man I will help, who got coerced by a beautiful woman named Adrienne Margeux who is on the FBI's most wanted list. He somehow travelled back in time and now wants to kill me, when I was known as Michael Long. So I borrowed the most technologically advanced vehicle in this era,, although it is not programmed yet. We have got to find Randy" Michael said. Bonnie stared at him and she climbed into KITT, and saw the HUD on the windshield.

"What defenses does He have?" She asked. "He's equipped with a nano-skin which automatically repairs when something impacts the skin or the car's body. It's an upgrade from the Molecular Bonded Shell that will be applied to both KITT & KARR. Right now I need to find Randy," Michael said as he climbed into KARR & punched in his FLAG Access code and dash lit up.

"What can we use to find this Randy?" Bonnie wanted to know. Suddenly out of KITT's hood flew a couple of automated drones.

"Can you hack into the new satellite the military launched?" Michael asked KITT. "I anticipated you, Mr. Knight and I'm already in," KITT replied.

Michael waited for KITT to partially activate KARR and he saw the waveform algorithm that was unique to the Knight Three Thousand come up on the 1st monitor.

"I am the Knight Automated Roving Robot. Who is driving me?" Spoke KARR.

"My name is Michael Knight. I'm a son of your creator, Wilton," Michael said after a minute. Michael knew there were sensors built into the original KITT so everything was being recorded. He wondered how he would delete all the information after the fact. He saw the HD images on KARR's two monitors as the drones were flying all over LA.

"I have never seen such clarity. How am I able to do this?" KARR asked. "Your interfacing with another Knight Industries vehicle. This vehicle is years ahead of the technology used to create you but your similar so I had KITT partially activate you," Michael said. They then heard a proximity alert go off that was set off by one of the drones.

"We got him," Michael said. He then pressed the keyless start. The Vehicle's Hydrogen fueled turbine engine roared to life and Michael pressed on the accelerator and they were off….

Future site of the Knight Museum of Technology: Randy stared in horror as his security systems picked up the drones. He stared at his army of guards that were carrying AR-15's.

"Take out these drones. I don't know where they came from but I want them destroyed," Randy said quietly. His guards nodded and they ran outside but the guards could not find the drones as an invisibility code was activated so they could not see them came up. He then stared in another lab at another prototype, this one from 2008, this one being the Knight Automated Roving Robot that Dr. Graiman had built and he remotely activated it.

Back at the warehouse where KITT and Dr. Barstow were, she climbed into the Mustang as she saw on the HUD the drones being shot at. She pressed the keyless start and on KITT's HUD Pursuit Modelit up and the car was off following KARR, not knowing what was waiting for them…
