(I don't own any of these characters *although I would love to own KITT!!! *sob* :P)
Michael woke up to the rhythmic beeping of a heart monitor and the warm smiles of Devon and Bonnie.
"Welcome back," Devon said. Bonnie laid a gentle hand on Michael's, agreeing with the same statement.
"I feel like a building just collapsed on me!" Michael grunted as he twitched in his bed.
"Well, at least half on one did." Bonnie said. "KITT called us and told us what happened. We had to dig you out from underneath a pile of motel!"
There was a bit of silence. "Was anyone else hurt?" Michael inquired.
"Fortunately, everyone else was safe. The manager of the motel was a bit upset however, but the Foundation is funding him till his building is up and running again." Devon responded. He leaned back, folded his hands and rested his elbows on the arms of his chair. "So, what about this car?" he asked, bringing his folded hands to his mouth.
"I dunno, but I have to stop it before it attacks anyone else, and causes more trouble!" Michael said, sounding ready to go, and now sitting up in his bed.
"You will, but first, I want you to recover." Devon ordered, sitting back up in his seat. Michael stared at him.

Against Devon's request and without medical consent, Michael escaped the hospital. He limped his way to KITT, whose scanner lit up excitedly.
"I am so glad you're alright!" KITT said. "I was so worried!"
"Thanks, pal. I am happy I got outta that place. The food was horrible! If the reason why you were there didn't kill you, the food will!" Michael complained as he opened the door.
"Well, being stuck in the same parking spot for four days is no picnic either, as they say, but I couldn't leave you." KITT said in response. Michael smiled.
"Thanks!" Michael sighed with relief as he sat in the comfort ness of the beige seat.
"Are we going back to our vacation?" KITT asked.
"No, KITT. We are going to stop that Fury!"
***
"Can you pick her up on your scanners?" Michael asked leaning back in the driver seat. He put KITT in "Auto Cruise" because he was still hurting.
"No, Michael. Sorry." KITT said. He paused for a moment. "Are you sure you don't want to go back to the hospital, or at least the Foundation to rest and recover?"
"No. If I stop, she may cause more damage, damage that I could have prevented. I want to stop her before something drastic happens." Michael said. He hated giving up when he was in the middle of a mission, hurt or not. He wanted to get the job done.
"Alright…" KITT said. He disagreed with Michael. He knew Michael wouldn't be able to do his job completely without recovering. He believed that Michael should rest before entering the battle field, but whatever Michael said, goes. He continued driving.
There was about five minutes of silence while they were on the road. KITT continued to scan for Christine, however, he was picking up something else.
"Michael," KITT called. "I am picking up something strange, and I am afraid of what it is."
"What is it?" Michael asked, shifting in the seat.
"Interruption in the Foundation radio waves."
"Michael looked at KITT's voice modulator in disbelief. This was like de-ja-vu. Both him and KITT went through this before, and he did not like it. "Oh no. Say you are only joking." Michael pleaded.
"I wish I could, but I do think it's him. If it's possible he came back the first time we destroyed him, it's possible he is back again." Michael sank in his seat.
"First it's Christine, and now KARR. Man, this vacation is getting better and better! Can you pick up his location?"
"He is out of range, too." He pulled up a map to prove it.
"Well, keep your scanner peeled for both of them" Michael said, pushing a few buttons.
***
An hour had passed, and Michael fell asleep. KITT kept his concentration on the road ahead and looking for either KARR or Christine.
"Michael, I am picking one of them up." KITT announced. "Michael!" He got no response. "Michael!" KITT yelled for the last time, then gave up. He pursued them himself.
As he sped through the open country, he saw a city ahead. "That's where they must be," KITT thought to himself. He started to reduce speed. He didn't want to hurt anybody with his unnecessary speeding. He got to the entrance, and approached normal speed. He turned a corner and continued scanning. As he drove towards an intersection, he spotted Christine. He sped up and followed her.
It wasn't long till she realized KITT was behind her. She began to speed up, turning corners, and ripping through alleys. KITT did the same, only with caution. Many people had to jump out of the way of these speeding cars turning this corner and that, knocking a few trash cans down along the way.
Christine made one false turn into a dead end.
It was dark, and the only thing lighting up the alley was Christine's head lights, and KITT's scanner reflecting on the off the wall of a building after he skid to a stop, blocking any escape for her.
Michael, surprisingly, was still sleeping, despite all the bouncing around from the chase. Silence filled the alley. Curious spectators peered from the side of the buildings watching the spectacle.
"Why did you run into Michael?" KITT said as angrily as he could. Christine stayed silent. "Christine, why?" KITT asked again.
Christine dimmed her headlights. She began beeping as she thought up the perfect response.
"You want me for yourself? KITT repeated. "What do you mean?"
Another series of beeping came from the Fury.
KITT was quiet for a moment. He was never in this type of situation before. He thought of what Michael would say, if he ever had to turn down a girl, as crazy as it sounded.
"Even if it was possible, and if we were compatible," KITT began, "You are a '58, I am an '82, much more advanced, and rather busy. I am always on the move. You are an older car, and cars really are not supposed to have these feelings" He couldn't believe he was having this conversation. He began puzzled at the situation. How does that car have feelings for him, let alone any feelings at all? What was going on? KITT began to feel uncomfortable where he was and hoped Michael would wake up soon to help him.
The alley grew silent again. KITT wondered what she was thinking, if she was at all. KITT had so many thoughts running through his CPU.
Out of the silence, an engines were heard entering the dark alley. KITT was too occupied concentrating on Christine that he didn't pick them up.
"Well, well, well," came a deep harsh voice. "If it isn't the noble Knight and his wonder steed!" Then a series of frantic sounding honks was heard. KITT quickly did a scan to see who it was.
"Oh dear" he said. He realized he now was trapped himself. Christine, and a wall on one end, and 2 other vehicles on the other. "Michael, please wake up!"
Michael woke up to the rhythmic beeping of a heart monitor and the warm smiles of Devon and Bonnie.
"Welcome back," Devon said. Bonnie laid a gentle hand on Michael's, agreeing with the same statement.
"I feel like a building just collapsed on me!" Michael grunted as he twitched in his bed.
