CHAPTER 3
ROLLING OUT
As Tuxedo Shadow takes the final photograph suddenly Sailor Mars then pauses as she feels an overwhelming feeling overcome her and she starts seeing red all around. Tuxedo Shadow notices this from her and knows what this means.
Tuxedo Shadow says, "It's danger isn't it."
The feeling from Sailor Mars fades and everything is a normal color again and she looks at Tuxedo Shadow and says, "It's already here."
Both then hear some sort of metallic movement. Tuxedo Shadow immediately put the spy camera back into the mace canaster and screws it back on tightly and then he unscrews the top, puts the canaster away in his utility belt, and has the top part in his left hand ready for use in case.
Tuxedo Shadow then gets Sailor Mars to follow him and both they sneak away from the museum area, and they are they both hide behind one of the many bookcases, both then peak out from the edged side of the bookcase their hiding in, and they see one of the creatures that are coming one direction opposite of them.
They see it's some metallic dog like creature, another of the Black Moon's robotic monstrosities. It has some black and metallic lining with all the features of a dog and its eyes are red lights that are constantly scanning the area for anything and anyone. But also, Sailor Mars and Tuxedo Shadow they see another cybernetic creature walking quickly past the dog, it looks like a mix of a scorpion and some sort of centipede.
The creature comes to the museum area, gets near the display case, then uses its tail with latches onto the case and then flips itself and then lands flat right onto the book and then with its legs, they extend out and then latch onto the book gently. There is another cybernetic creature that comes its way, and it looks like some sort of tortoise it then comes near the display case and then with it's shell it then turns into a flat plat.
The centipede scorpion like creature then makes more legs for itself and then flips off the display and lands on the flat plate with some tiny jacks installed on the creature. As its landing its legs land perfectly on the plate and is completely magnetized to it, the tortoise shell then has some curved metallic plates surrounding the scorpion centipede creature and come together to act as protection as the metallic tortoise then is making its journey with two of the metallic dogs escorting it.
As both see this both Mars and Henry advance silently behind one of the bookshelves and they see a big check out desk and then both roll toward it right before a small pack of a few cybernetic dogs come near and are scanning the area with their red eyes and having their jaws and claws ready to tear anyone in their sight.
They are scanning the desk both Mars and Shadow are hiding in but they laser scans are going past over the desk, not penetrating what's behind or underneath the desk. Tuxedo Shadow then takes off Mars's tiara, Mars is surprised by this but then he sees him use the gleaming metal as a mirror to see if the metallic dogs have moved past them.
Once both see they've cleared the area and there is no reflection, Shadow then gives Mars the tiara back and then both of them stand a little but still keep low as they then move away from the desk and then continue moving silent very quickly and as both are coming straight for the door, they both see one of the cybernetic dogs they didn't account for was stationed right in front of the door and now approaches them slowly and so do a couple from behind them each of them ready to tear both of them apart.
Tuxedo Shadow quickly grabs Sailor Mars's right hand and with his left presses the button on the mace spray top in his hand and then throws it down hard on the ground, the impact makes it detonate and creates a quick explosion and instant spread of smoke that completely ingulfs the entire room, Sailor Mars and Tuxedo Shadow and everything else within the area. The cybernetic dogs are having a heck of a time seeing the targets as they are both out of their sight but also the smoke prevents their laser visual scans penetrate but is also there is a lot of static and fuzz happening with their visuals as the smoke has some sort of chemical that is causing interference and jamming.
Meanwhile, Tuxedo Shadow has Sailor Mars's hand as both are running out of the library. As their running Sailor Mars says, "Where are we going?"
Tuxedo Shadow says, "To the Raven."
Sailor Mars is confused as she just sees on the edge of the sidewalk nothing. Tuxedo Shadow gets something else out of his utility belt and it's a remote he presses a button and then suddenly Mars hears a vehicle that is rolling their way, she looks to her left and sees there is what looks like an old sleek black 80's sports car which is rolling really fast their way as it is off road and riding on the sidewalk and then it suddenly stops right in front of them.
Tuxedo Shadow then presses another button and both doors they open, but they go upward almost like wings. He then guides Mars to the front passenger seat, and she gets in quickly as both suddenly hear some metallic growls that are starting to get a little louder. Tuxedo Shadow gets into the driver's seat and then he presses on the remote for the doors to close. The doors close but then there are a couple of the cybernetic dogs that have caught up and are trying to scratch the right side of the car.
Mars is a little nervous and looks at Tuxedo Shadow and says, "You think you can get us out of here!"
Tuxedo Shadow says, "Willco."
Tuxedo Shadow with his right hand gets to a set or orange buttons part of the controls in the middle section of the car, the buttons are lined up like a side of dice with four dots. He presses the top right one buttons on the control panel on the middle and suddenly the front right tire of the car.
The black strip hubcap it then unfolds and there is what looks like a small Vulcan cannon turret that extends out. Both the cybernetic dogs walk toward it curious about this cannon, suddenly the turret turns on them and then blasts away at them, both dogs are broken up in pieces as they become instant piles of junk. Then the car it starts to roll and then just accelerate away from the area.
Sailor Mars is griping the sides of her passage seat despite having a seat belt as she sees Tuxedo Shadow is making the RPM and MPH climb beyond the speed limit fast but also the defensive measure he utilized.
As they go further down the road Tuxedo Shadow, he then presses a button to put it on auto drive and he take off his helmet mask. He then puts his helmet mask away and then he presses another button and then on the ceiling of the car there is something that comes down and covers his face, neckline, and shoulder. It's a cybernetic mask, the helmet aspect is designed to look like a samurai helmet but with black and ultraviolet color and lining. His face mask has a silver color apparatus and visor that are like ski visors but are ultraviolet tint color. On the back of his chair there is a small wire hook up on the back that automatically goes forward, and it connects with an outlet on the back of the helmet.
As Tuxedo Shadow is driving the car, he then makes another turn, and it goes on another roadway. As their rolling, Tuxedo Shadow he presses on the dashboard controls a purple button with the letter S on it and then suddenly the grill of the Raven unfolds and extends something which is a giant buzzsaw. It starts to spin and as it does Tuxedo Shadow, he then makes a turn, and he drives right through to the lamp and automated signposts to their right side and the saw cuts each of them down like butter. Three of the poles fall and they fall toward the pathway the cybernetic dogs are running.
The dogs can accelerate their running and a few of them avoid the downed poles. But one of them isn't so lucky as their a few seconds slower than his buddies. The pole falls right on the dog, and it just plops to the ground with the weight of the impact smashed the dog into so much it's now a pile of junk. There are still several of the dogs that are chasing them despite a small amount as their odds widdled down.
Shadow, he presses another button which is navy blue and says T1, on top of his car a small turret then comes out from the left driver's side. Shadow then brings his hand to his right and to the middle of the controls there is what looks like a joystick to play computer games with with a small monitor in front. Shadow moves the joystick and then the crosshairs on one of the displays then come over the one of the black moon cyber dogs.
Tuxedo Shadow says, "Katana on!"
His mask's visor glows ultraviolet color and then the wires behind him get the signal from the mask and automatically send it to the turret from the driver's sides. The turret and then shoots out ultraviolet blades that all go straight though several places that cut through the cybernetic dog like butter and then the dog then falls apart in pieces.
Tuxedo Shadow he then brings the left turret down pressing T1 and again and then presses another button on the control dashboard which is blue green button which has a T2 letter and then suddenly on Sailor Mars side where the glove compartment is. It then unfolds and there is what looks like a computer joystick control and right in front of it there is a display screen which has a neon red crosshair.
Tuxcedo Shadow says, "Man the controls."
Sailor Mars is a little confused and first and says, "Wait what is this, what do I do."
"Remember some of those on rail video games you play at the Crown Arcade."
"Yeah."
"Same thing, just put the crosshair on those metal creeps and light them up."
Sailor Mars slowly takes the control and then she starts to move the joystick and she sees on the screen one of the cyber dogs are catching up and she then puts the crosshair on it and then the crosshair makes a sound which indicates lock on. Mars then pushes the firing button located near where her fore and middle finger are and the turret on the top then discharges and the cyber dog it howls in useless defiance as the bullets shred its gullet and then take its whole head off completely leaving nothing but a stump.
She keeps firing and takes a couple more down while Tuxedo Shadow is behind the wheel. But then one of the cybernetic dogs get through and then accelerates his run and then jumps on top of the car. The cybernetic dog then just chomps on the Vulcan cannon which disables it, and Mars sees the screen go off.
Sailor Mars says, "The gun is down."
Suddenly a few other cybernetic dogs then jump onto the top of the car and latch onto it with their claws. They are biting down on the top trying to penetrate the metal. Tuxedo Shadow sees on one of the display screens the top side of the car blink red to indicate danger and he sees a text that says, "Top side armor." And a counter that is counting down how much armor integrity is holding up.
Tuxedo Shadow says, "Time to switch lanes."
Sailor Mars says, "What?"
"Just trust me and if it helps you can close your eyes."
Mars is puzzled by what he said and then suddenly Tuxedo Shadow he then makes a right with the car and drives it near the bridge that goes to Nakashima Park but instead of entering the bridge he moves way past it to the river. As soon as he reaches a small hill from the grasslands, Shadow presses a button and then accelerates the Raven and then the Raven picks up speed, Henry presses the red button labeled M1, climbs up the hill and then jumps right toward the river.
Rei is closing her eyes hard even makes a small scream a little as she's little nervous wondering what Shadow is doing now, as the Raven is in midair it suddenly goes though a transformation process. As it suddenly underneath the doors two wing flaps come out on the sides of the Raven. Also, all four tiers turn in a dare in horizontal position. They land on the water, but they don't' sink instead they are keeping the vehicle afloat and riding on the surface of the water. As it moves on the river channel the two robot wolves left pounce toward the Raven and just as they decent to it, Henry just moves slightly to the right and both just splash right into the water and just make a watery explosion.
Tuxedo Shadow aware of the three dogs still latched on he then presses another red button labeled M2. The two wing flaps retract back and then Shadow pushes down on the steering control and then the car suddenly goes under water and as it's underwater the three cybernetic dogs they start to short circuit from the water and then soon lose their grip on the car and then float away behind them. Tuxedo Shadow looks at one of the display screens and it finishes its analysis and the text displays that all threats on the surface and below are neutralized.
Tuxedo Shadow then breathes a sigh or relief and then he pulls up and then the Raven is up on the surface of the water again and he then drives to a beach shore, retransforms the Raven back into its regular car mode and gets back on the road. He then sees Mars who has both her hands covering her face hard.
Tuxedo Shadow looks at her still with the Mask on and says, "You can open your eyes now."
Mars then slowly has her hands away from her face and then breathes a sigh of relief as soon as she sees their back on solid earth. She then looks at Shadow and then punches him hard in the arm.
Tuxedo Shadow says, "Owww."
Sailor Mars says, "Don't ever scare me like that again Henry."
"Sorry Mars there was no time to give you the tutorial on this car."
Mars then shakes her head and takes another breath calming down and getting her bearing back. Mars then looks at Shadow again and says, "By the way thanks."
"Can't take all the credit you helped a little too."
"Good point, besides where are we going now."
"Back to my house."
"Your house, I didn't even know you had one."
"You will now."
They continue to speed away into the night.
