Fragment - King of the Road.
The nation of Japan was still recovering from the End of Millennium horror known as 'Second Strike'. Fortunately, the social fabric of the resilient Japanese Civilisation had flexed rather than torn, allowing the rapid rebuilding of essential industrial infrastructure.
However, it had not occurred without the usual problems…
Glando Atari sat behind the wheel of an unmarked NERVIS pursuit car, enduring another traffic jam.
The traffic started moving again, and Glando put his car in gear and inched forward. As he slowly moved along, the cause of the traffic jam became apparent. The remains of a small car with 'out-of-town' licence plates sat on a tow-truck's flatbed, while a demolition truck with a dented bumper stood nearby.
"Newbies…" Glando muttered in contempt as he noted the damaged car's plates, "Should have used Public Transport… Especially during Morning Rush-Hour…"
Shaking his head in disgust, Glando eased his car around the accident scene, and onto the highway entry ramp. Seconds later, he was cruising down one of the quality roads that serviced the City's transport needs.
Glando breathed a sigh of blessed relief as the 'out-of town' branch of the Highway opened onto a road devoid of the chaos in the 'City-bound' lanes. For the moment, the road was Glando's, and he made the most of it…
…At least, until some 'Hoon-Mobile' came up 'too-close-for-comfort' behind him…
Sporting mag wheels, fourteen-inch 'fat' tyres and decorated with the type of graffiti teenage gang members put on their cars, the vehicle growled down the highway, the loud music thumping out of its speakers only slightly muffling the noise made by its 'sport-modified' exhaust system…
Glando pressed the accelerator, trying to unobtrusively ease away from the noisy contraption behind him.
…All to no avail…
The faster Glando went, the faster the Hoon-Mobile 'tail-gated' him, keeping a dangerously short 'stopping space' between the cars.
Glando swung out into the passing lane and hit the brakes. The Hoon Mobile shot past him, leaving Glando to resume his journey at a more sedate pace.
…Until the Hoon Mobile loomed up in front of him again, travelling fifteen miles UNDER the speed limit…
Glando ground his teeth as he was forced to slow down behind the Road Hog.
On a suspicion, Glando swung out into the passing lane and attempted to overtake the Hoon Mobile.
…Only to have the Hoon Mobile wing out into the Passing Lane and block Glando's attempt to overtake…
An evil gleam appeared in Glando's eye. "So you want to play, eh?" he muttered.
Glando's fingers casually opened a concealed panel on the dashboard, revealing a selection of switches. After looking around to ensure that there were no other cars near them on their stretch of highway, Glando pressed a button…
Part of the radiator grille of Glando's car wound back, revealing a small parabolic dish with a strangely shaped antennae in it. A brief glow on the dish was the only visible indication of the EMP (Electro Magnetic Pulse) that blasted out into the vicinity of the Hoon Mobile.
The results were immediate. The unshielded electrical systems of the Hoon Mobile shorted out in an explosion of sparks. The engine in the Hoon mobile died, and the car careened off the road into a ditch, the silence of the exhaust and stereo systems shattered by the screams from within the smoking hulk.
"Get that stitched, Sunshine," Glando politely sneered.
Having done his bit to keep the roads safe, Glando drove on…

OMAKE - King of The Road
Glando's fingers casually opened a concealed panel on the dashboard, revealing a selection of switches. After looking around to ensure that there were no other cars near them on their stretch of highway, Glando pressed a button…
Unfortunately for Glando, he sneezed just as he did so, and he accidentally pressed several of the WRONG buttons…
Part of the radiator grille of Glando's car wound back, revealing the intake for the NERVIS pursuit car's newly activated turbo-charger. The rising whine as the turbo powered up, was soon replaced by the roar of the engine as the extra air exploded with the additives from the 'Nitro' injection system…
Startled by the unexpected way in which the car leapt forward, Glando blinked at the warning message that appeared on his car's digital readout…
…Just before the emergency JATO (Jet-Assisted-Take-Off) rockets cut in…
Glando's car blasted down the highway, the high-G acceleration crushing Glando helplessly back into the cushions of his seat.
A bend appeared in the road ahead, offering a scenic view of rugged Ocean Cliffs surrounding a small, rocky-outcrop-studded bay…
Not being able to move enough to even steer, let alone control his vehicle, Glando's car tore through the safety barriers, and 'took the scenic route'…
The Fan Fiction Writer turned to his audience with a grave look on his face…
"And the moral of the story…" the F.F.W. sagely intoned, "…is to ALWAYS know the equipment options, limitations and dangers of the vehicle you drive…"
