The GG's raced beyond the Skyscraper District and Pharaoh Park as fast as they would if they were running for their lives. At this moment, they were running for Yoyo's. The energy and haste escalated in intensity as they got closer to their destination.

"Those Immortals! I can't believe they're gonna go so far!" Beat noted.

"I believe it." Corn responded, "Those freaks are insane and we've got to stop them!"

"Why are they doing this?" Rhyth wondered.

"I bet it's to serve as a warning to other gangs." Combo predicted.

"That could be true, but the only way to know for sure is to get there!" Corn concluded, "Let's hurry!"


Everyone was on high alert upon arriving at Highway Zero. The gang couldn't let themselves be distracted by the numerous street lamps and city lights. The GG's felt like they were in a vacuum; despite every fiber of their being was going a hundred miles per hour time just seemed to stand still.

"Where could they be?" Beat asked.

"We've got to find them, now!" Gum stated.

Three of the Immortals appeared and stood about halfway down the street from where they were at. The rival gangs locked gazes with one another.

"You've guys got Yoyo, where did you freaks put him?" Corn demanded.

"Hahaha!" The lead mummy laughed, "I knew you guys show up if we took a little souvenir!" A cage lowered, and there was Yoyo locked inside like a zoo animal.

"H-Hey, I'm not a souvenir yo!" Yoyo protested, "Guys, get me out of here!"

"Yoyo! All right, I'm only asking nicely once, let him go!" Corn ordered.

"Never! We need him you see, as a sacrifice to the great gods! You should feel honored for your feisty friend that he was chosen for this." The Immortal taunted, "It's such a wonderful occasion. Well, for us at least! Hahaha!"

"Oh no…" Rhyth dreaded.

Gum comforted her, "We'll save him, don't worry."

"Heheheh… well I suppose if you all insist, then you shall die as well! There isn't a such thing as too many sacrifices."

"You guys are gonna regret this!" Garam retorted.

Corn angrily spoke, "Agreed. You Immortals had made a bad mistake messing with us like this; nobody messes with my pals and gets away with it. Prepare to get tagged up!"

"Let's do this!" Beat readied a spray can.

"Get them!" The Immortals charged, and the GG's charged back.

There was a deluge of paint in the air, it was hard to tell what was going on because of the amount of fray. Eventually the two gangs separated, each side breathing heavily. Yoyo watched the battle confidently.

"All right guys." Corn whispered, "We need to chase these guys out of here so that we can free Yoyo."

"So we're taking the trash out?" Gum inquired.

"Pretty much. Hey Boogie, you doing all right so far?"

She nodded, "You bet. Let's kick some Immortal butt."

"That's the spirit. GG's, go get them!"

With raised spray cans the GG's ran for the Immortals, who turned around and ran the opposite direction.

"Hey, come back here you cowards!" Beat shouted after them.

Corn decided to seize this opportunity, "Guys, keep an eye out for them! I'm going to see if I can get Yoyo out of that cage!"

Luckily for him, Yoyo wasn't too far off the ground so he could easily check the cage out for the most part.

"Corn yo! You gotta get me out of here!" Yoyo pleaded.

"Relax Yoyo, I'm working on it. How about you tell me what happened? How'd you end up like this?"

"Well, um, yo." He started to think about it, "I was just out, doing what I do, yo."

"Yeah? Then what?"

"Then they ambushed me! They got the jump on me good yo. I was so surprised that I didn't stand a chance yo. Plus there was so many of them."

"Ouch, yeah that sucks." Corn began fumbling with a lock he found.

Rhyth suddenly appeared by their sides, "Don't worry Yoyo, we're here now." She reached between the bars of the cage and put her hand on his shoulder. At that moment something did seem off, Yoyo had sunglasses on and wasn't trembling with nervousness as he always did when Rhyth was around. Dismissing it as him being in shock, and having an extra pair of shades, he asked, "Rhyth, where are the others? Also the Immortals?"

"We don't know Corn. We chased them for a short distance then they were gone. We haven't found them again but I thought I would come back and see if you needed any help."

"I'm trying to figure this damn lock out." Corn explained, "These fools thought of everything."

"Oh my… do you think we could break the cage somehow?" Rhyth suggested.

"I don't think that's going to be easy; these are some reinforced bars. We'd have to be a thousand pound gladiators to do that."

"What should we do?"

"Stay away from our sacrifice!"

Looking in the direction of the shout was the three Immortals, rushing toward the three like angry, speeding bulls.

"Corn, Rhyth, Yoyo, watch out!" Gum shouted.

The Immortals got into a formation and gained momentum, they approached so fast that Corn and Rhyth barely had time to get out of the way. Yoyo could only duck while covering his head not having any room to move.

The Immortals struck the cage so hard that it sounded like two bricks being slapped together. The cage broke free from its chain and rolled until it disappeared down a steep drop. It was purely a breath stopping second.

"Yoyo!" The GG's freaked and started chasing after him, also the Immortals. The cage bounced all around with Yoyo being rattled inside. The racing gangs grinded on rails and made magnificent flying jumps trying to grab hold of the cage without success. The city soared by them with the wind in their faces.

Combo got behind one of the Immortals and tagged him, then tripped him and skated ahead.

Rhyth and Garam noticed one behind them and started skating backwards. They looked at each other and nodded. After grabbing arms they braked, causing the pursuing Immortal to collide into them; then they used their arms like a slingshot and bounced him backwards where Combo knocked him to the ground with a tag and a punch. The three grouped and exchanged high-fives.

Beat was intensely sprint skating with the last one standing side by side. The Immortal skated away from him to try to get on a rail but then Gum appeared in his way, "Where do you think you're going?" She taunted. Beat closed in on him and tagged him in the face, then Gum tagged his back. Afterward she hopped on the rail, jumped off and rebounded off the Immortal's shoulders. Beat repeated her actions on his side, and this caused the mummy to completely fall over. Behind them, they saw him tumble to a stop and the rest of the gang catching up.

"All right, that was awesome! High five!" Beat raised his hand. When Gum did, she was surprised when he suddenly pulled her close gave her a quick one-arm hug instead.

The cage then bounced off a ramp and went completely airborne.

"Oh shit, Yoyo!" Corn swore. Everything around them slowed down during the time the cage spun in the air until it hit a wall and fell to the ground; when the cage hit the concrete the floor fell out and the bars snapped off.

Yoyo was dazed from this short trip, he kept real still laying on the ground trying to straighten his vision.

"Yoyo, Yoyo!"

Beat grabbed the cage pieces and threw them to the side, Corn grabbed Yoyo by the shoulders and shook him, "Yoyo!"

"Stop, stop yo! I'm real dizzy!" Yoyo answered.

"Whoops, sorry 'bout that. Are you hurt?"

"No… I don't think so yo. Just a little… bruised yo."

Corn shook her head, sighing, "Thank God. You really freaked us out with your disappearing act Yoyo."

"Seriously dude. What happened?" Garam asked, "What did they do to you?"

Yoyo looked past his gang, "Uh guys? We've got company yo."

The GG's noticed that the Immortals had gathered themselves and caught up with them, and they were face to face once again.

"Hey…" The Immortals spoke.

Corn bragged, "Sorry to spoil your little plans, but we're taking him back with us!"

The Immortals shocked and defeated faces slowly curled into sinister leers.

Gum tapped on Corn's shoulder, "Corn? Why are they looking at us like that?"

"Seriously, those guys are lookin' real freaky." Beat added.

Corn brushed it off, "They're just trying to scare us, let's go back to the garage."

No one noticed that Yoyo was smirking just like the Immortals, suddenly he shoved Corn aside to stand in front of the Immortals.

"Hey! Yoyo, what's wrong?" Corn inquired.

He didn't say anything, instead he yanked a remote with a single button out of the pocket of his cargo shorts and pushed it.

The GG's were confused about what was happening until a cage dropped upon all of them, trapping them.

"Eek!" Rhyth yelped.

"Whoa!" Combo shouted.

"What's going on!?" Boogie panicked.

Corn's eyes darted around in stunned silence before he said, "Yoyo! What the hell do you think you're doing!?"

Yoyo laughed maliciously, "Hahahaha! Got ya! I hope you guys enjoy living nightmares, because that's what your life is about to become yo!"

It was impossible to believe this was happening, but it really was; there was no denying it. Corn felt his heart pounding in his ears.

"Wh…What…?" He spoke in a hushed and disbelieving voice.

Infuriated, Beat shouted, "Yoyo you little bastard!"

"How could you!?" Rhyth implored.

"How dare you!" Gum yelled angrily.

Garam had his hands on his head, "I can't believe this!"

"Hahaha! It's been a fun run guys, but you're usefulness ends here yo!" Yoyo taunted, "Well guys, I'd say this is just about mission accomplished. Let's haul these guys to the the future site of Rokkaku Expo Stadium yo!"

"Yes Lord Yoyo!" The Immortals answered and team lifted the entire cage. The GG's were helpless as they were carried off in that massive cage.

All that they could do was wait as the betrayed feeling cut deep.
