CANNONBALL RUN 4: HIGH OCTANE
by The Turbo Man.
CHAPTER FIVE: VIVA LOS CANNONBALLERS
DISCLAIMER: This chapter is a LONG one. But hopefully, it won't disappoint. Thanks. I borrowed the scatter gun from the recent PS2 game ROADKILL. I still own nothing apart from the characters of Marcus, Regis, Freddy, Jim, Big Ray and his gang. Sorry for the long wait. Thanks to Charles Xavier, Nightw2, Luis Silva and BKelly for their support.
"Are we on?" Lazlow asked the camera man.
"Yep." the camera man replied.
"Alright, people." Misty said. "We're back, live and direct. The Cannonballers are now in Latin America and making their way southwards.".
"Some of the racers are still in Mexico, so they have some catching up to do." Kat said. "At present, we believe that the Black Knight is catching up on the Titan, which is near the front of the pack.".
"We're so-so-so happy that our racers are enjoying themselves so thoroughly." Max said.
"We're going over now to Mexico City, to our reporters." Lazlow said.
The screen showed Enrique Iglesias, Cheech Marin and Fernando Martinez in Mexico City.
"Hola, amigos!" Enrique said. "It's great to hear from you. You're a bit late checking in, 'cause most of the racers have passed through Mexico already! They're now officially in South America".
"But we can tell you, they're still giving it their all." Cheech said. "It won't be long before the really heavy artillery is brought out by our racers."
"That is true. I can see there are many hot women in this race. If they're unhappy in their relationships, then they can just call Fernando, and he sort everything out." Fernando said.
Lazlow rolled his eyes.
"Still pimping, eh, Fernando?".
Fernando growled a little at that remark.
"I told you before, Lazlow. I work miracles, not pimping! I give people back the passion they have lost.".
"Yeah, whatever." Lazlow said.
"Now come on, guys. Let's not have a fight, okay." Cheech said.
"We were able to get a radio interview with one of the Cannonballers as he drove through here." Enrique said.
"Who was it?" Kat asked.
"It was Strong Bad, driver of El Diablo." Cheech replied.
"Here it is". Enrique said as a still image of Strong Bad appeared on screen.
"Yeah, who is it?" Strong Bad's voice snapped.
"Strong Bad, this is Enrique Iglesias." Enrique's voice said. "We saw you were the first racer to pass through Mexico City. How do you find the race so far?".
"Well, pal, I must say this race has been very enjoyable, but face it, I'm gonna win this race hands down! So these other losers are better off not wasting their time trying to beat me!".
Suddenly, Homestar's voice was heard.
"Hey Strong Bad, when can I drive?".
"In another hour, okay?!" Strong Bad snapped.
"You said that an hour ago!" Marzipan chimed in.
"Aw, shut the crap up!" Strong Bad said. "I gotta go now!".
"One last question Strong Bad." Cheech's voice cut in. "How can you drive with boxing gloves on?".
"Oh, yeah! Like I've never been asked that before!". Strong Bad said sarcastically.
The screen changed back to show the three reporters.
"Well, there you go." Fernando said.
"Alright, guys, thanks a lot." Lazlow said. "Well, people, we'll give you more news as it comes. Later!".
Well I know
I could be just another stranger
But to you
I guess I'm just another fool
And you swear
You like to live your life in danger
Then you hide
Behind a wall of silly rules
Nobody thinks the way I do
I guess that nobody cares
Your head's so full of things, so set your mind free of them
I'm breaking the rules
Did you know
That in the truth, there's nothing stranger
I suppose
You think I think I know it all
Nobody hears the things I say
I guess that nobody cares
My head's so full of things I set my mind free of them
I'm breaking the rules
Breaking all the rules
Can't you see they're nothing without you
Empty heads full of fools
Now you see
Yes, I'm breaking all the rules, breakin' all the rules
Well I know
That you would love to go to heaven
But you know
That you're just too afraid to die
And I know
That you would love to know the answers
But to you
The truth is just another lie
Nobody hears the things I say
I guess that nobody cares
My head's so full of things I set my mind free of them
I'm breaking the rules
Breaking all the rules
Can't you see they're nothing without you
Empty heads full of fools
Now you see
Yes, I'm breaking all the rules, breakin' all the rules
Breaking all the rules
Why don't you tell them
Breaking all the rules, a come on, a come on
Breaking all the rules, why don't you get it on,
Breaking all the rules, a come on, a come on
Breaking all the rules, aaaallll right now
Breaking all the rules, a come on, yes, a come on

A police helicopter landed in Bogata, Colombia. From it stepped Captain Harris, followed by his aide Proctor.
"Gee, sir, do you think this is wise? I mean, last year we got our butts kicked by.."
"Shut up, Proctor!" Harris snapped. "Quite frankly, I don't give a flying handshake if the President has my badge for breakfast. If I can catch those Cannonballers, it will have been worth it!".
"But are you sure this plan you had is going to work?" Proctor asked.
Harris turned to face him.
"Proctor, my old army buddies are perfectly reliable. Unlike you, they won't let me down." he said. "Now come on!".
The two approached the airport terminal, where a man in a white pilot outfit and helmet was waiting for them.
"Roger Ramjet reporting for duty, Captain Harris!" Ramjet said as he saluted.
"Alright, Ramjet. Is everything ready?".
"Yes, sir. My plane is ready and the Hunter has been brought down for you." Ramjet replied.
"We'll head on first, Ramjet." Harris said. "We'll let you know if we need you.".
"Yes, sir." Ramjet said as he saluted again.
"Right, let's go, Proctor! We have a race to stop.". Harris said. Harris lead Proctor towards a huge, green military gunship.
"Can you fly it, sir?" Proctor asked.
"Of course I can!" Harris snapped.
Meanwhile...
The Cheetah was speeding through a darkened jungle area. Ethan and Snake were using infra-red to see their way through the foliage.
"This infra-red is great." Snake said. "Nobody can see us coming, but we can see them.".
"Things have been pretty quiet so far." Ethan said. "I don't like it. Someone must be up to something.".
"Well what have we got to worry about?" Snake said.
The pair didn't realise that they were being followed by the Phoenix. Michael was tracking them using radar.
"Their lights may be off, but they're not totally invisible." Michael said.
"How far ahead are they, KITT?".
"About half a mile away, Michael. We should catch up to them in about two minutes." KITT replied. "Do you intend to Turbo Boost again?".
"Maybe not this time. Let's give 'em a taste of our laser instead.".
"If you say so." KITT replied.
Michael floored the accelerator and gained on the Cheetah.
Ethan could see the other car's headlights in his mirror.
"Looks like we have some company." Ethan said. "At last! The suspense was killing me!".
"So, what do you recommend?" Snake asked.
"Try the oil slick." Ethan said.
"Roger.".
Snake flicked a switch on the dashboard, and a slick of oil was shot out. Michael swerved to try and avoid it, but the Phoenix still skidded a little.
"That old trick, huh?" Michael said. "Okay, here goes!".
Michael pressed a button and a red laser beam fired at the Cheetah. Ethan kept swerving to avoid it.
"Oh no you don't!" he said as he kept dodging the blasts. The two cars managed to find their way out of the jungle and on to a main road.
"Time to blow!" Ethan said as he put his foot to the floor. The red Ferrari took off.
"We can't lose these guys, KITT!" Michael said. "Do we have Super Pursuit Mode?"
"Unfortunately no, Michael. But we do have a shot of nitrous.".
"Okay, here goes.". Michael activated the nitrous boost and the car was rocketed forward.
The Cannonball Bridge which lead to Antarctica was unattended, which was a big mistake. On the beach below it was a huge tank. It's cannon was aimed right at the middle of the bridge. Inside the tank were Jim and Freddy.
Jim was taking aim.
"Alright. Here we go." he sneered.
He fired at the bridge and blew the middle right out of it. He took a couple more shots, leaving a massive gap in the bridge.
"Well done, Jim." Freddy said.
"Army training helps out, don't it?" Jim said. He patted the steering wheel of the tank, known as the Rhino. "This little darling's gonna make things real difficult for the Cannonballers! Activate the construction drones to build our little 'alternative route'.".
"Right." Freddy pressed a button and above them, a group of huge robots proceeded to build a new bridge, but it was pointing in another direction.
"The other drones are starting work on the other side of the island." Freddy said. "The bridge will still take them to Antarctica, IF they survive.".
"Perfect.". Jim said, smiling.
Freddy picked up a walkie-talkie and spoke into it.
"Unit Omega to Unit Alpha. Operation Detour proceeding as ordered.".
"Good." Mr. Benedict's voice came over the radio. "You two leave the drones to do their job. Head back into the country and prepare to strike.".
In a forest near Caracas, Venezuela, Mr. Benedict, Ms. Foyt, Marcus and Regis were getting ready to move out.
"Alright, Marcus. You and Regis take your truck and set up that roadblock you were planning in Brazil.".
"Right." Marcus said. He and Regis headed towards the Dodge Ram truck they had got to replace their Subaru.
"Try not to get it wrecked!" Foyt smugly called after them.
Marcus glared at her as they drove off.
"Time to open send off our little surprise." Benedict said. He headed towards a large metal box.
Some of Luthor's security guards were standing near it, carefully lifting the door up. Other guards were pointing tazer guns towards the box.
Benedict looked inside and saw three figures chained
Foyt entered the box and addressed the three.
"Gentlemen. We apologise for the rudeness of your 'enlistment', but we require the help of operatives with your special talents." she said smugly. "As you know, we need to stop the Cannonball Run from continuing. If you agree to help us, you will be very well rewarded."
The masked man known as Leatherface listened carefully to what Foyt was saying. Now this sounded good to him. He looked across at the other masked man, Michael Myers. Myers too seemed interested.
Foyt noticed their apparent interest. "Am I to take it that you agree, gentlemen?"
Myers and Leatherface both nodded. Foyt turned her gaze to the winged creature known as the Creeper.
"As for you, I apologise that we woke you up, but you are needed as well. Our employer is willing to provide you with the 'food' you require, if you do as we say.".
The Creeper growled a little.
"I don't think he's willing to co-operate, Mr. Benedict." Foyt said.
Mr. Benedict smiled and came forward, pulling out his Mac 10. The Creeper looked nervous and struggled a bit, but the chains held. Benedict put the gun right up against the winged demon's forehead.
"Would you prefer if we made you extinct?" Benedict said. "Believe me, if you do as we say, you won't regret it.".
The Creeper considered his options, and slowly nodded.
"Excellent." Benedict said. He turned to the security team. "Release them." he said.
The security teams complied and the three killers were free.
Foyt smiled. "Mr. Myers and Leatherface can take the Linerunner.". She pointed to a huge diesel truck parked nearby.
"And the Creeper can take to the sky." Benedict said. "Go get those Cannonballers!".
"You may deal with them in whatever way you wish." Foyt added. "But we expect results!".
The Buckshot was speeding along a country road, being pursued by the Van Go.
"Come on, Crash! We've gotta lose these guys!" Conker yelled.
"They won't pass us!" Crash replied. The Van Go came right up on their back bumper.
"Here we go!" Crash yelled as he quickly pressed a button which shot out a smokescreen.
"I can't see!" Mr. Furious yelled.
"Back off a bit!" The Bowler said.
By the time the smoke had cleared, the Buckshot was far ahead.
"They're not gonna lose us that easy!" Shoveler said.
"What are you thinking?" Sphinx asked.
"Give us a bit of turbo power, Roy!" Shoveler said to Mr. Furious.
"Okay, here goes." Furious pressed a red button on the end of the gear stick and then pushed the gear stick forward. The Van Go was given a mighty push forward.
Within seconds, they had passed the Buckshot.
"Oh, wiseguys, huh?" Conker said. "Catch 'em Crash!".
"No problemo, mi amigo!" Crash said as he put his foot down.
Mr. Furious saw the sedan catching up with them.
"Sphinx, I think we should give 'em a taste of the old TIC, if you know what I mean." he said.
"Oh, I know alright." Sphinx said as he took out a can marked Tornado In A Can. Shoveler rolled down the window and Sphinx quickly opened the can and threw it out the window.
"FLOOR IT!" Sphinx yelled and Mr. Furious gunned the Van Go for all it was worth.
A huge tornado came out of the can, tossing nearby blowing nearby trees over. Before Crash could stop the Buckshot, it got caught up in the tornado and was tossed around.
"WHOA! AUNTIE EM! AUNTIE EM! IT'S A TWISTER!" he yelled.
"Those Mystery Men will pay for this!" Conker yelled.
"STOP THE RIDE! I WANNA GET OFF!" Crash screamed.
"SHUUUUT UPPPPPP!" Conker yelled back.
In the sky above Caracas, the Hunter gunship was flying along, patrolling the sky.
It dipped a bit, before Captain Harris brought it back under control.
"Sir, I thought you said you could fly this thing!" Proctor protested. "We almost got killed a couple of times!".
"Who's in charge, here Proctor?!" Harris snapped. "I'll catch a Cannonballer no matter what it takes.".
Proctor looked out the window.
"Sir! There's a Cannonballer down there!".
Harris looked below them and spotted the XXS Tomcat driving through Caracas.
Harris started to bring the Hunter down lower.
"Here we go!" Harris said. "Man the machine gun, Proctor!".
"Yes sir." Proctor said.
In the XXS Tomcat, Gyro looked at their radar.
"I'm getting some very strange readings here, Mr. McDuck."
"What is it?" Scrooge asked.
"It's saying that there's a low-flying aircraft following us." Gyro reported.
Scrooge looked behind them, and saw the Hunter swooping in.
"Curse me kilts!" he yelled. "They've got the artillery on us!".
"FIRE!" Harris yelled.
Proctor opened fire with the machine gun. Gyro managed to evade the shots with the XXS Tomcat, but they sustained a couple of hits.
"Alright!" Scrooge said. "If these lads want a fight, we'll give them one! I'm taking us up.".
Scrooge activated the flight mode and the XXS Tomcat lifted up into the sky.
Gyro swung them around so they were facing the Hunter.
"What are they doing?" Harris said to himself.
"It looks like they're engaging us, sir." Proctor said.
"Let them have it, Proctor!" Harris yelled.
Proctor fired off a few more rounds from the machine gun.
Scrooge responded by launching a couple of rockets.
Harris managed to evade the rockets, but one of them nearly hit them. It ended up hitting some boats in the harbour below them.
"Alright!" Harris said. "Let's give them a taste of their own medicine.".
Harris hit a red button and a pair of stinger missiles were launched from the Hunter.
"Oh no you don't!" Gyro said. He used a laser to shoot down one of the stingers. He quickly rose the XXS Tomcat higher so the second one went right under them.
There was an explosion as the stinger hit a building.
"I think you just hit the American Consulate, sir." Proctor said, nervously, as he looked through binoculars. "Looks like no one was hurt, but there's certainly some property damage.".
"Oh, shut up! I'll get these piss-ants!".
Harris lifted the Hunter up to pursue the XXS Tomcat.
"Lose these guys, Gyro!" Scrooge yelled.
"Alright! Hold on!" Gyro yelled as he lifted the vehicle up into the clouds.
Harris could not bring the chopper any higher.
"Shit!" he yelled. "We can't follow them!".
Harris failed to notice the XXS Tomcat suddenly drop down from the clouds behind them.
"A little farewell present." Gyro smiled, as he fired the laser cannon and clipped the blades off the Hunter.
"Oh, shit!" Harris yelled as the chopper started to fall.
"BALE OUT!" he yelled to Proctor.
Proctor pulled the eject lever and both cops were ejected from the falling Hunter.
Their parachutes opened as they slowly fell towards the earth.
Up above them, Gyro engaged the XXS Tomcat's afterburner, and they flew off on their way.
The Van Itty was speeding through Caracas, when they noticed the two parachutes drifting to the ground.
"What's that?" Invisible Boy asked.
Doc Heller slowly stopped their vehicle, and they saw the two parachutes land in front of them.
Harris and Proctor picked themselves up, and disconnected themselves from their parachutes.
"Great!" Harris grumbled to himself. "If you could shoot better, Proctor, we could have had them!".
"But, sir.."
"But nothing!" Harris yelled.
Both cops turned and noticed the Van Itty.
"Ah!" Harris said. "A Cannonballer! Or luck isn't all bad!".
"I think we should use the Blame Thrower." Blue Raja said.
"Then do it!" Doc Heller said.
Invisible Boy flipped a switch and a gun nozzle shot out of the radiator, and fired a ray at Harris and Proctor.
Suddenly, Proctor shoved Harris.
"I wasn't the one who couldn't hit them with the missile!" Proctor yelled. "You always blame me when it's your fault things go wrong!".
"You watch how you talk to your superior, Proctor!" Harris yelled as he shoved back.
"No I won't! I'm sick of you and your screw ups!" Proctor yelled, as he shoved Harris again.
Harris started to roll up his sleeves.
"You want a piece of me?!" Harris said.
"Bring it on, biotch!" Proctor said.
Harris tackled Proctor and the two of them started to slug it out.
"I think we should just leave them to it." Doc Heller laughed as he drove off.
Meanwhile, on a highway in Venezuela, the Hyperion was speeding along. Wallace was fairly enjoying the ride.
"This is really fun, Gromit." he said. "I don't know how far it is to the border, but we can make it.".
Behind them, a large pack of motorcycles appeared. It was Big Ray and his gang. Gromit noticed them in the rear view and looked nervous.
"Hey boss!" Ripper yelled over to Ray.
"Ain't that one of the Cannonballers?"
"Well I'll be damned!" Ray said.
"Do you think we should say hello, boss?" Pitbull asked.
"Well it may not be that Viking, but we'll have a bit of fun with this guy anyway!" Ray said, smiling. He waved to the rest of the gang and they sped up their cycles as they approached the Hyperion.
Wallace noticed the bikers who were quickly approaching.
"What have we here?" he said. "Doesn't look like a welcoming committee.".
Ripper and Spider came up alongside the Hyperion and took out steel pipes. They started swinging at the vehicle. Little damage was caused, but Wallace was more than a little annoyed.
"Hey, watch it! It took me months to get this bike ready!" he yelled.
Gromit quickly handed Wallace a tube of cheese spread. Gromit had one himself.
"What's this for?" Wallace asked.
Gromit indicated that Wallace should open the canopy and then pretended to squeeze the tube, pointing at Ripper's face.
"Oh, I get it! Alright, here goes!".
Wallace quickly opened the canopy, and before Spider could do anything, Wallace squirted some cheese spread into his face, blinding him. Gromit did the same to Ripper and both bikers swerved off the road.
"Bye bye!" Wallace said as he closed the canopy and the Hyperion sped on.
"Son of a bitch!" Ray yelled. "You guys come on! We'll stop them up ahead!"
The bikers accelerated until they passed the Hyperion and headed up the road a bit. They all stopped and parked their bikes across the road, blocking it.
"Alright." Wallace said. "If that's the way they want it, we'll get nasty."
He pressed a red button and two side panels on the Hyperion opened up, revealing missile launchers.
"Uh, boss." Pitbull said, pointing.
"Don't be stupid!" Ray said. "He won't fire!".
Wallace took aim and prepared to open fire. The other bikers looked nervous and started to drive away.
"HEY! Get back here!" Ray yelled." He's just bluffing!".
Wallace pressed the button again and some missiles were launched.
"HOLY SHIT!" Ray yelled. He quickly leapt off his bike and took cover. A hole was blown in the road. The Hyperion swerved around the road and continued on its way. Ray came out of the bushes and looked down the hole to see the twisted remains of his bike.
Ripper and Spider, having recovered, caught up with the rest of the gang.
"Is everything okay, boss?" Spider asked.
"DOES IT LOOK LIKE EVERYTHING'S OKAY?!" Ray yelled. "Those damn Cannonballers are dead!".
They heard the sound of another engine approaching, and turned around to see the PCJ-600 approaching. Priss brought her bike to a halt and removed her helmet.
"Hey, get out of the way, will you?" she snapped. "I'm in a hurry!".
Pitbull smiled when he saw Priss and went over to her.
"Hey, baby." he said. "That's a great bike. You need any help with it?".
"You want to help me, creep, you can get your ass out of my way!". Priss retorted.
Ray walked over to Priss, pushing Pitbull out of the way.
"Listen, honey." he said. "You watch how you talk to my boys. We don't like anyone being rude to us. Now why don't you just take another road?".
"I'll take whatever road I please, buddy!" she said. "Now take your boyfriends here and get out of the way!".
"Boyfriends?!" Ray said angrily. "Looks like someone here's looking for a spanking.".
Priss tried very hard to keep her temper. She put on a fake smile.
"Well, then. Why don't you try it." she said as she got down from her bike.
"Oh, I think I will." Ray said as went right up to her.
"Good boy." Priss said. She quickly kneed Ray in the groin. Groaning in pain, Ray fell to the ground. Priss quickly gave Pitbull a kick in the stomach and a karate chop on the back of the neck and he went down too.
She turned to the rest of the gang.
"Anyone else want to try anything funny?". she asked.
The rest of the gang nervously shook their heads.
"Alright then.".
Priss mounted the PCJ-600 and drove off, swerving around the hole as well.
The Serpent was coming up fast on the Burrito.
"Alright, this should be easy. I'll give 'em a taste of the Venom gun!" Blackadder said.
"What's that, Mr. B?" Baldrick asked.
"The acid shooter of course!" Blackadder said. He pressed a button and a spurt of acid was shot towards the back of the Burrito. A hole was burnt in one of the doors.
"Looks like trouble!" Shaggy said.
"Ro no!" Scooby whined.
"Hang on, gang!" said Freddy. "I've got an idea!". He accelerated the van and suddenly turned around to face the Serpent.
"Hey, Fred, you're not gonna do what I think you are, are you?" Velma asked.
"Don't worry." Fred said." We've got our battering ram, remember?".
"He's right." Daphne said. "Let's do it!".
Fred pushed a lever and a huge metal grid popped out of the front of the van.
"What's this?" Blackadder asked as he took a look up ahead.
The Burrito revved its engine and sped towards the Serpent.
"Looks like they want to play Turkey, sir." Baldrick said as he took a bite of his sandwich.
"It's 'Chicken', Baldrick. Chicken." Blackadder snapped.
Baldrick looked at his sandwich. "No, it looks more like ham.".
"Oh. shut up, mousebrain!" Blackadder said as he sped towards the Burrito.
"Like, I don't think he's gonna back off, Fred!" Shaggy said.
"He's got to!" Freddy said.
Blackadder was still running head on towards the Burrito, sweat starting to pour down his face.
"This is going to work! This is going to work!" he kept repeating to himself.
The Burrito was almost on him.
"Bugger!" Blackadder yelled as he quickly turned off the road and crashed the Serpent into the river nearby.
Blackadder and Baldrick staggered out of the car, up to their knees in water.
Freddy rolled down the window of the Burrito. "Don't drink the water, pal!" he said, laughing. He turned the Burrito around and started to head off the other way.
Blackadder growled in anger.
"Come on, Baldrick, help me get the car back on land!".
Suddenly, there was a loud whoosh and the two were immediately soaked in water. The Hermes had just passed them. It was floating on the water, going as fast as a strong speedboat.
"WOO-HOO!" Homer yelled.
"This is great!" Lisa yelled.
"Of course it is! Going on water's a lot faster than on dry land!" Homer said.
"I just hope you aren't planning to try parasailing again, dad!" Bart said.
Homer took sharp turn around a corner.
"Hey, take it easy!" Marge yelled. "I'm trying to feed Maggie back here!".
Maggie was giggling with delight. She was greatly enjoying the ride.
A beeping started to sound. Homer looked at his radar.
"Uh oh! River police up ahead." he said.
"What do we do?" Lisa asked.
"It's okay." Homer said. "I'll give 'em a taste of our scatter gun!".
The hood of the Hermes opened slightly, revealing a small cannon. The police boat up ahead was waiting for the Hermes to reach them.
"Eat this!" Homer yelled.
He fired several shots at the boat, which was quickly perforated with holes caused by various small bullets fired at once. The police crew started to yell at the vehicle to cease fire, but Homer kept firing until the police launch broke in half.
The Hermes accelerated on down the river.
"Was that really necessary, Homer?" Marge asked.
"Hey, no permanent damage was done." Homer said. "Besides, we want to win, don't we. Just think of what we could do with $200 million.".
Marge smiled. "Yeah. We could finally double-glaze our windows.".
Bart, Lisa and Homer all gave Marge strange looks as they sped on.
In Brazil, the Phantom was speeding along the road. Kairi was now taking a turn at driving the car. With ease, she swerved around a car that was in front of them.
"So long!" she yelled as they passed the car.
"You're a great driver, Kairi!" Riku said.
"Of course I am." she said, winking. "Cid taught me as well as you.".
"And I might add that you picked up on the lessons very quickly." Cid said.
Sora was navigating this time. He looked up ahead on the road and saw a large red diesel truck in front of them.
"Could be a bit of trouble up ahead." he said.
"Aw, that's no trouble." Kairi said. "There's no one coming in the opposite direction. I'll just go past that rig!".
Kairi put her foot down and came up behind the truck. In the cab of the truck, two masked figures took a look in their mirror and saw the black sedan behind them. It was Leatherface and Michael Myers. Under their masks, they smiled as they recognized the Phantom.
With expert movements, Kairi manouevered around the Linerunner and accelerated away.
After the black car was a little bit up the road, Leatherface sped the truck up and pursued them.
In the Phantom, Riku and Sora were talking.
"So, what do you think about 'Him' now, Riku?" Sora asked.
"I take back everything I said, buddy. 'Him' is a great driver." Riku said, smiling.
"I'm glad we lost those Team Rocket jerks." Cid said. "Let's hope we don't see them again for the rest of the race.".
Kairi kept her eye on the road, but then noticed the Linerunner approaching in the rear view mirror.
"What the..?" she exclaimed.
Cid and Riku both looked behind them. The truck was nearly on their back bumper.
Leatherface laughed to himself as he honked the truck's air horn. He poured on the speed a bit more and bumped into the back of the Phantom.
"SHIT!" Cid yelled. "This guy's crazy!".
"Floor it, Kairi! We've got to lose him." Sora said.
"Okay, here goes!" Kairi shifted into high gear and the Phantom moved forward at great speed.
In the truck, Michael reached up and pulled a lever on the ceiling, marked 'nitro'. With a mighty whoosh, the Linerunner accelerated after the Phantom.
About twenty miles away, Marcus and Regis were hiding in some bushes by the roadside. Brooke was standing by a black Buick which they had parked by the roadside. Brooke tugged a little at the short skirt she was wearing.
"This is so degrading!" she complained. "I can't believe I'm doing this!".
"Well, Brooke, it was either you or Isabelle, and you lost the toss." Marcus reminded her.
"Besides, you look great in that outfit." Regis said.
Brooke glared at him.
"Forget it, Regis! I wouldn't date you if you were the last living organism in the universe!".
"Keep your mind on the job for once, Mr. Hormones!" Marcus snapped. "We're doing this to try and catch a Cannonballer!".
Regis nodded and took a look through his binoculars. He saw the Hotring Racer approaching fast.
"Bingo!" he said.
"Okay, Brooke, do your stuff!" Marcus said as he and Regis ducked down.
Brooke sighed and leaned over the open bonnet of the car, pretending to have had a breakdown as the Hotring Racer approached.
The Nomad was driving. All four passengers were listening to an AC/DC song.
"I'm on the Highway to hell! Highway to hell!" Beavis and Butthead sang along.
"You like this stuff?" Corvax asked.
"YEAH! This stuff kicks ass!" Butthead said.
"Me too! I liked their latest album so much, I bought the record company so I could meet them!" Corvax said.
"Yeah, right." The Nomad said. He looked up ahead and saw Brooke. He gasped.
"What's up?" Beavis asked as they and Corvax looked up ahead. They froze as they got a good view of Brooke. The Nomad quickly slammed on the brakes and the Racer came to a quick halt.
All four racers got out and approached Brooke.
"Excuse us." Corvax said. "But you appear to have a problem.".
Brooke looked up. "I sure do." Brooke said, putting on a Valley girl accent. "I was, like, heading down to Rio, when my car broke down on me. I think there's something wrong with the wiring.".
"Hey, baby." Butthead said. "Let us have a look."
"Hey, Butthead, what do we know about cars?" Beavis asked.
Butthead hit Beavis again. "Shut up, Beavis!" he said. "We could score if we help fix up her car.".
"Like hell!" The Nomad said. "I'll fix the car for you, miss!".
The plan was working. All four racers were turned on by Brooke.
"Shut up!" Corvax yelled. "Let me handle this."
Corvax went right up to Brooke. As he did, Marcus and Regis came out of their hiding place. Corvax didn't notice, as they were behind him. Regis put his gun up against Butthead's temple as Marcus came up behind Corvax.
"You are in luck, madam." Corvax boasted. "I am the great Corvax, emperor of the desert, ruler of many, and one of the world's greatest..."
"Morons." Marcus said as he put his gun up against Corvax's head.
"How dare you put a gun to my head?!" Corvax yelled. He turned around to face Marcus. "Do you have any idea who you're dealing with?!".
"Yeah." Regis said. "Cannonballers.".
Brooke smiled and took out a gun of her own. "You people won't be going anywhere for quite a while.".
The Nomad smiled and pulled out a scimitar. "Hah! I'm not afraid of cheap thugs like you!".
He swooshed the sword around with expert movements, laughing. But then, he accidentally threw the sword away.".
"Bummer." he mumbled.
"Okay, clowns." Marcus said. "Why don't you be nice and tell us where Yates is hiding the cash?".
"Are you kidding? We don't know." Corvax said.
"Now, now, don't make us have to play nasty.". Brooke said, cocking her gun.
In the distance, the Banshee and the Road Kill were running neck and neck, when suddenly, they noticed the trouble up ahead.
"Hey, Lee. It looks like some of the other guys got themselves in some trouble. And it don't look like the law either." Carter said.
"So I see. I think we should give them a bit of help." Lee said as he started to slow down.
"Think we should help?" Memphis asked Dominic.
"Okay. We may be trying to beat these guys, but they're still Cannonballers.". Dominic said.
Both vehicles came to a halt near the villains and their prisoners. Carter and Lee got out, as did Memphis and Dominic.
"Got a problem, fellas?" Dominic asked Corvax.
"Yes, quite a big one, actually." Corvax said, sweating nervously.
"Look, pal, why don't you and your loser buddies just skedaddle." Regis said. "We're trying to get some info from our green-skinned friend here.".
"That's a fellow Cannonballer, and we advise you to leave him alone." Lee said.
"Oh, you advise us, huh?" Marcus said, moving over to Lee. "Listen, short stuff, why don't you just.."
With a quick move, Lee kicked the gun out of Marcus' hands. Lee and Memphis quickly disarmed Brooke and Regis when they were distracted by this.
"Alright, assholes! You've asked for it, now you're gonna get it!" Marcus got into a martial arts stance to fight Lee.
"You guys get outta here!" Dominic yelled to Corvax and his team, who immediately ran for their car.
"Thanks! We owe you guys one!" Butthead yelled as the Hotring Racer roared off.
Lee and Marcus sparred with each other brutally, while Memphis took on Regis and Carter fought off Brooke.
"What's the matter?" Brooke sneered at Carter as he avoided a punch from her. "Won't hit a woman?".
"I ain't that kinda guy, baby." Carter said. "However, we have a race to run.". With a quick move, Carter pulled out a stun gun and zapped Brooke with it.
Brooke twitched violently as her system was shocked.
Memphis had all but knocked Regis senseless now, but the goon was still swinging. Lee had managed to knock Marcus down, and he started to stagger to his feet.
Seeing this, Memphis moved near Marcus and waited for Regis to make his next move. As Regis punched out, Memphis moved quickly to one side and Regis' punch caught Marcus instead.
"Oh, sorry Marcus!" Regis said.
"You dumb shit!" Marcus yelled as he shoulder charged Regis, knocking him to the ground.
"Come on, guys! We've wasted enough time here!" Dominic yelled as the four racers got back into their vehicles and raced off.
Marcus and Regis were still fighting each other, when Regis saw the racers go.
"Damn it, Marcus! They're getting away!" he yelled.
Marcus stopped pummeling Regis enough to notice.
"Shit! Come on, we'll get those bastards!".
"What about Brooke?". Regis asked.
Both men looked over at Brooke, who was still twitching slightly.
"I'll be fine!" she said angrily. "Get after those bastards!".
"Yes, ma'am!" Both thugs yelled as they got into their pick-up truck and took off down the road.
On another road, the Phantom was still going fast, with the Linerunner snapping at their heels. Sora had taken over driving and was now wearing the Captain Chaos mask.
"DUN! DUN! DUN!" he yelled. "That vile villain behind us shall not prevail!".
"How can they go so fast?!" Riku asked, amazed that the huge rig could keep up with them.
"I don't know, but if we don't lose these guys, we're dead meat!" Cid said.
"There's a town coming up, guys!" Kairi said. "I hope no one will get hurt!"
"Fear not, Kairi!" Sora said. "Captain Chaos will ensure the safety of the fine citizens of this town!".
Sora put his foot down and the car rocketed on.
Meanwhile, Marcus and Regis were coming up behind the Banshee and the Road Kill.
"Eat this!" Marcus yelled as he leaned out the window and fired a couple of shots at the Banshee.
"Damn, those guys are pissed!" Carter said.
"Hold on, Carter." Lee said. "We'll lose them!". Lee typed something on the keypad on the dashboard, and a hatch opened on the back of the Banshee. A smoke screen was shot out.
Regis and Marcus were temporarily blinded.
"Split up!" Dominic yelled over to Lee. "They can't follow both of us!".
"Right!" Lee said as he turned off onto another road. The Road Kill continued on into the town. The Dodge truck approached fast behind them.
"These guys aren't gonna get away!" Regis said.
The Phantom roared through the centre of town. Sora was taking care to avoid hitting anyone. Riku had activated battle mode and was now firing at the truck with the laser cannon.
"Bite me!" he yelled as he fired volley after volley at the Linerunner.
Leatherface kept gunning the engine and blasted the air horn again. Under his mask, Michael Myers rolled his eyes at how much of a show off Leatherface was.
The other cars on the road quickly swerved off as the black sedan and the red juggernaut barreled through the town. A railway line was right next to them. Up ahead, on their right side was a railway crossing.
Road Kill and the pick-up were fast approaching the crossing, and a train was coming.
"Dom, a train!" Memphis yelled.
"We'll make it!" Dom said. "Just hold tight.".
Regis pulled up alongside the Road Kill.
"This is it!" Marcus yelled.
"Marcus, what about the train?!" Regis said. He had one foot hovering above the brake, just in case.
"KEEP GOING!" Marcus yelled. The sweat was now flowing down Regis' face.
"We've got a clear road ahead of us, Cid!" Sora yelled. "Shall I hit the nitrous?".
"Yes, for God's sake, do it!" Cid yelled.
Sora hit the button on the steering wheel and the Phantom rocketed ahead of the truck.
The Phantom passed the railway crossing just as the Road Kill and the truck were about to fly through it. The train was just about on them.
"YEE-HAAA!" Dominic yelled as the Road Kill flew through. The pick-up was still alongside them. Both vehicles made it through just before the train hit them.
"Oh, thank God!" Regis said as they arrived on the other side. "We're alive.".
"The same can't be said for these guys!" Marcus said as he got ready to fire.
Before the two goons knew what happened, the massive Linerunner hit them right in the side before it could stop. The huge rig came to a halt as the pick-up was knocked away to the side. Leatherface had started to sweat a little.
Michael Myers smacked him upside the head for his mistake.
Dominic looked back at the crash.
"I've got a strange feeling of deja vu." he said.
"I hope no one was killed. That was a pretty bad crash." Memphis said.
Dom brought the Road Kill to a stop, and backed up to the wrecked pick up. The two racers got out and looked over at the totalled truck.
After a pause, the doors were kicked open, and a battered Marcus and Regis emerged.
"Regis, don't ever throw up in the truck again!" Marcus yelled.
"I'm sorry." Regis said. "I thought we were gonna die.".
Memphis shrugged. "They're okay. Let's go.".
He and Dom got back into the Road Kill and sped off.
As Marcus and Regis staggered over to the sidewalk, Brooke's car appeared on the scene. She sneered at the sight of the crash.
"Morons!" she said. "Complete and utter morons!".
She drove past the crash and through the town. As she reached the road leading out, she saw a sign pointing the way to Rio de Janeiro. Off to the side was a little dirt road, which seemed to point into the jungle.
"Hmmm." she said to herself. "Primitive, but it might work.".
She got out of her car and went over to the signpost. With her great strength, she turned the signpost so that it pointed into the jungle.
"The old tricks can be the best." she said, smiling.
She drove off, heading along the right road to Rio. She spoke into her CB.
"Brooke to Isabelle. Some of the racers will soon find themselves on the wrong track. How are things in Rio?".
"We're ready for our little ruse at the Copacabana." Isabelle said over the radio.
"Good. The Bozo Brothers and those masked freaks screwed up. Surprise, surprise." Brooke said.
In their truck, Leatherface and Michael Myers heard Brooke's report over their radio. They were both angry.
A few seconds later, the Direwolf passed them, followed by the BF Injection and El Diablo.
Both villains looked at each other and nodded. They got out of the Linerunner and headed across the street to a parked car. Michael smashed the window and opened the door. Leatherface did the same on his side and they got into the car. Michael started it up and they followed the racers.
"HEY! Wait for us!" Marcus yelled as the two men tried to chase after the car. The car drove on without them.
"Damn!" Marcus yelled.
"How did that Myers guy learn how to drive if he was in a looney bin since he was a kid?" Regis asked.
"Aw, shut up!" Marcus yelled. "Come on, let's find some transportation!".
"Keep ahead of these losers, Jessie! We can't let them beat us!" Domino yelled.
"At least we lost those little twerps." James said.
"Knowing our luck, they're probably ahead of us." Meowth said.
"Wobbbb!" said Jessie's Wobbuffet as it popped out of its pokeball.
Jessie made an annoyed grunt and took one hand off the steering wheel.
"Shut up and return!" she said, recalling Wobbuffet. "I don't need your crap right now!".
Meowth was looking up ahead. "Turn right up ahead! The sign says Rio's dat way.".
"Are you sure?" James asked, looking at a map. "This map says it's the other way.".
"How old's dat map?" Meowth asked.
"I dunno. I think it's a couple of years old.".
"Then the roads could have changed." Domino said.
"Well I think...".
"Oh, shut up, James!" Jessie said. "I'M driving so I decide which way we go. We'll follow the sign.".
Jessie turned and went into the jungle.
"Guess that's the way we go, Steve." Crocodile Dundee said.
"Okay, let's go." Steve said.
The BF Injection followed the Direwolf.
El Diablo followed behind, going very fast.
"These lousy losers aren't gonna beat us!" Strong Bad said. The Cheat made a noise in agreement.
"Hey, guys. Would you like to hear a song I wrote?" Marzipan asked.
"NO!" Strong Bad yelled.
"How about my Sid Hoffman/Sid Frenchman game?" Homestar asked.
"NO!" Strong Bad and Marzipan chorused.
"Um, okay." Homestar said.
As Strong Bad steered the car down the track, no one noticed the car following behind them, with Michael Myers at the wheel.
Strong Bad started to tune the radio to the Cannonball dome's frequency.
"Let's see what they're up to back there." Strong Bad said.
"Ladies and Gentlemen." Misty sad seriously. "We have just received grave news from our reporters at the Cannonball bridge in South America.".
"We now take you live to CNN's Christian Amanpour and MTV'S Carson Daly, live at the bridge." Lazlow said.
"Viewers, we are here live and direct at the Cannonball bridge." Christian Amanpour said. "It appears that the bridge has been attacked. The middle of it has been blown out.".
"It is not at present known who is responsible." Carson Daly said. "But it is believed that the police are not involved, as they have never gone to such extreme lengths before.".
"A couple of eyewitnesses report seeing a tank near the bridge a couple of nights ago." Christian said. "However, we do not have any other information at this point, apart from a mysterious bridge, labeled 'Detour' has been set up next to the damaged bridge.".
"This bridge could lead to the Antarctic, but seems to go a little out of the way." Carson Daly said.
"We are unsure as to how this will affect the race.". Christian said. "But we have received word from Brock Yates that a repair crew has been dispatched to repair the proper Cannonball bridge. We now go live to Mr. Yates in his office.".
Brock Yates addressed the camera in his office. "Whoever is behind the sabotage to the Antarctic bridge will not succeed in stopping the Cannonball Run. The race will continue as planned. I urge all the Cannonballers not to let this problem deter you. We have our agents in the field, ready to protect you should you be placed in any danger. I wish you all Godspeed. Your lives are safe in our hands.".
In the Phantom, Cid just turned off the radio after Brock's announcement.
"Man, this is intense." Riku said. "You think someone's just trying to scare us off?".
"I don't know, but they're doing a good job." Kairi said.
"Hey, Kairi, you're not thinking of giving up, are you?" Cid asked.
"No, never! But those guys back there in that rig tried to kill us." Kairi said. "They want us to lose really bad!".
"Do not despair, Kairi!" Sora said, still wearing the Captain Chaos mask. "Captain Chaos did not let you down back there. We are rid of those vile villains for the time being.".
"Yeah, I suppose you're right." Kairi said. "We'll win this, and these creeps, whoever they are can go to hell!".
"Damn straight!" Riku said.
In the Rhino tank, which was just outside Buenos Aires, Jim and Freddy heard the report.
"Balls!" Jim said. "A repair crew!".
"Hey, don't worry! There are still weeks to go before these losers reach the bridge." Freddy said. "Yates's crew may not have finished by then. Some of these guys may be dumb enough to take the detour.".
"Yeah, I guess so." Jim said. "I just wish some racers would show up here so we could have some fun.".
"Good things come to those who wait, Jimbo." Freddy said.
It was night in Rio, and the Blue Devil was driving around near the Copacabana.
"Great scenery." Bugs Bunny said. "A shame we can't stay for a while.".
"Yeah, I actually agree with you for once." Daffy said.
"Well just concentrate on the race, fellas." Marvin said. "The Stinger 2 wasn't too far behind us.".
In the Stinger 2, Tommy and Chili were bopping to another 80s tune being played on the radio.
Chili put on a pair of sunglasses and turned to face Tommy.
"Hey, Tommy. I wear my sunglasses at night. Get it?".
"Yeah, I get it buddy. Aren't you involved in the music business now?" Tommy asked.
"Yeah, why do you ask?".
"Well those guys from Love Fist have been calling me for months now, asking if I can get them a new record contract. They got back together recently and they said they've been working on a new sound.".
"Oh, what, a sound that involves them actually playing their instruments live instead of lip-synching?" Chili said, joking.
Up ahead, near the Copacabana, the Blue Devil had got caught in a traffic jam. Daffy honked the horn impatiently.
"Come on! Come on! We're in a hurry here!" he yelled.
"Well there was bound to be some setbacks." Marvin said.
Wile E. nodded in agreement.
"Hey there, handsome." a sultry voice to Daffy's right said.
Daffy turned around and his jaw dropped as he saw Isabelle and Sayuri standing on the sidewalk, wearing revealing black dresses.
Bugs turned to face the girls as well. Hearts instantly appeared in his eyes.
"Do you mean me?" Bugs asked.
"No they don't!" Daffy said. "They mean me!".
"Hey, both of you can come with us if you like." Sayuri said, cocking her hips a little. "We're having a little party over at the Copacabana if you're interested.".
"Y-y-you mean it?" Bugs said.
"Sure, bunny boy." Isabelle said. "It'll be a night you're never gonna forget.".
"We're there!" Daffy said as he got out of the car. Bugs followed.
"HEY! Guys! Aren't you forgetting something?!" Marvin yelled as the two androids led Bugs and Daffy away.
Marvin turned to face Wile E.
"What now?" Marvin asked.
Wile E. just shrugged.
"Guess I'd better take over." Marvin said as he moved over to the steering wheel and got ready to drive off.
Not far away, the Stinger 2 had stopped so Tommy and Chili could switch places.
"Excuse me?" a voice asked.
"Yeah." Tommy said as he turned around.
Vivien and Nastassja were standing behind him, dressed similarly to their sisters.
"Are you Tommy Vercetti?" Nastassja asked.
"Uh, yeah, that's right." Tommy said.
"I told you it was him." Vivien said. "It's incredible to meet you face to face.".
"We're going to a party at the Copacabana. We'd be so honored if you could join us.". Vivien said.
"Sorry, but I'm a bit preoccupied right now.". Tommy said.
Nastassja moved up close to Tommy.
"Aw, come on! It'll be fun! There'll be dancing and all that." she said.
Tommy thought for a second. Nastassja gave him a puppy-dog eyed look.
"Aw, why the hell not!" Tommy said.
Chili cleared his throat.
"Race." he reminded Tommy.
"You can handle it, can't you?" Tommy asked, not looking around.
"Tommy, look at me." Chili said seriously. Tommy turned to face his partner.
"Are you serious about doing this?" Chili asked.
"Well, Chili, We've been cooped up in that car for about four and a half weeks now. I don't know about you, but I could use some R&R. I can catch you up.".
"Catch me up?!" Chili said. "Tommy, with luck, I'll be two countries away by tomorrow.".
"Maybe, but even if there's only you in the car when you reach the finish line, we still win.".
Chili shrugged. "Okay. But watch your back. Remember, there are some creeps out to get us.".
Tommy leaned close to Chili, and whispered "No worries.". Tommy opened his jacket a little and showed Chili the .48 Magnum he had in shoulder holster.
"Wise move." Chili whispered back.
Neither of the Dolls had seen Tommy show Chili his gun. Tommy turned back to face them. "Okay, let's go."
Across, the street, a taco vendor had noticed what had happened with Tommy, Bugs and Daffy. Checking to make sure no one was watching, he spoke into the microphone hidden in his collar.
"Undercover Brother to Jack Spade. Come in, please.".
In another part of town, two parked Humvees received the transmission.
"Spade here." Jack Spade said. "What's up?".
"There could be some trouble over at the Copacabana. Head over there. I'm heading on into the field.".
"Roger that." John Slade, Jack's hero and mentor, said.
"This is it guys." Jack said, looking over at the other Hummer. Seated in it were Hammer, Slammer and Kung Fu Joe.
With Jack and Slade was the sharply dressed Flyguy.
"We're gonna kick some ass." Flyguy said.
"I hope my feet don't play up on me again." Slammer said.
"Just don't run so much." Hammer said as he put a gun into his pocket.
"Not too many guns, Hammer." Jack said. "Don't forget what happened last time.".
"I'll be okay." Hammer grumbled.
"Hey, Joe, are you all set?" Slade asked.
"Yes, I'm wearing a bulletproof vest this time." Kung Fu Joe said. "But I still can't believe that those crooked cops would shoot an unarmed man!".
"Never mind that now." Jack said. "Our racers are in danger. It's time to help out!".
Both Hummers drove off.
Meanwhile, the Titan had been transformed into its robot form, and Dick Dastardly was firing the lasers at any vehicle which got in their way and generally causing damage in the city.
"One side, dumbheads!" he yelled. "We're gonna win the Cannonball.".
"No one will stand in our way!" Fearless Leader said.
The other villains laughed in agreement.
Behind them, the Black Knight appeared.
"YEAH! We finally caught up with these jerks!" Lita said.
"Look at them!" Raye said. "They're just causing trouble for no reason!".
"Well, they ARE villains." Razor said. "That's what villains do.".
"Not any more!" T-Bone said as he fired a shot from their laser cannon.
"What was that?!" Shredder demanded.
"It appears that someone has the gall to challenge us." Baron Harkonnen said.
Yosemite Sam looked out a rear window.
"It's those dang cats, and those schoolgirls!" he reported.
"You've caused quite enough damage for one day, boys!" Razor's voice came over their radio.
"Yeah, and in the name of truth and justice, we will punish you!" Raye said.
"You're lucky Serena's not here!" Lita joked. "She'd kill you if she heard you steal her line!".
"You think you can be a match for us?!" Wild Dog sneered.
"How about this?" T-Bone said.
The villains gasped as they saw the Black Knight was also transforming into a giant robot on wheels.
"HEY!" The Brain said. "You stole our idea!".
"Are you sure it wasn't you who stole ours, Brain?" Razor asked.
"It doesn't matter!" Raye said.
"Here's an appetizer!" Razor said as he fired a shot from their cannon at the Titan.
"Alright!" Shredder said as he opened rear panels to reveal 8mm cannons.
"You want to play hardball, that's just what we'll do!".
Shredder opened fire on the Black Knight.
T-Bone responded by firing back with their laser cannons. The Titan was knocked backwards and fell up against the side of a building.
Shredder fired back with the cannons.
"This could take some time." Razor said.
"Let's lead them out of the city." Raye said. "Less people will be hurt that way.".
"Okay." said T-Bone as he changed back to vehicle mode and drove off.
"Follow those brats!" Cyril Sneer yelled.
"Going back to vehicle mode!" Dastardly said as he began to transform the Titan.
They were soon hot on the Black Knight's tail.
In the deep jungle, the Direwolf came to a halt.
"Where the hell are we?!" Domino said angrily. "The sign said 20 miles to Rio. We've been travelling for hours and this sure as hell ain't Rio!".
"I told you we should have gone where the map told us to!" James moaned.
"If you don't shut up, James, I'll stuff that map down your throat!" Jessie yelled.
"Oh, that's right!" James shot back. "Always take your temper out on me, when I'm just trying to help!".
Meowth fury swiped both humans.
"Meowth! Shut up, da pair of ya! We need to figure out what to do!".
"Meowth, I'm beginning to think that you should be the one giving orders in your team." Domino said, sneering at Jessie and James.
Behind them, the BF Injection and El Diablo both stopped. The three vehicles had been pretty close to each other.
Strong Bad got out of El Diablo and approached the Direwolf.
"Hey! What the crap are you guys doing?!" he demanded.
"Hey, take it easy there, mate." Steve Irwin called to Strong Bad. "It looks like we're lost.".
The Team Rocket members got out of their car.
"Well done, Einstein." Jessie said sarcastically. "Of course we're lost!".
Homestar, Marzipan and the Cheat got out of El Diablo as well.
"What do you think happened?" Marzipan asked.
"It's obvious." Domino said. "Someone switched the sign back there.".
"Like I said, we should have followed the map!" James said, glaring at Jessie.
"Well, it's not my fault if some people are dishonest, is it?!" Jessie snapped.
"Hey, time out!" Crocodile Dundee said. "We won't solve anything by fighting.".
"What do we do?" Homestar asked.
"Well, I've been in this area of jungle before. I can lead us out.". Steve said.
"You can? That's good." Marzipan said.
"HEY! We don't need his help!" Strong Bad said.
"Us neither! We can find our way out ourselves!" Domino said.
"Be my guest". Steve said. "Can you find your way?".
Strong Bad and Team Rocket both looked around at their surroundings. They all looked confused.
"Uhhh." Strong Bad said.
"Come on, Strong Bad. Don't be such a jerk. These guys are trying to help us." Marzipan said.
Strong Bad sighed. "Okay. I'll play ball." he said as he reluctantly shook Steve's hand.
"I think we should accept his offer as well." Meowth said.
"Okay." Jessie said. "But when we get back to the race, it's everybody for themselves.".
"Fine." Steve said.
"So, what do we do?" Strong Bad asked.
"Well, it's hard to navigate at night. We should make camp and wait till morning." Steve said.
"Make camp?! Here?!" James said. "Do you have any idea what could be out there?! Anacondas! Tarantulas! Pumas!".
"Yeah, sounds like fun, doesn't it?" Crocodile Dundee asked.
"We've got some food." Steve said. "If two of you can go get some fire wood, we'll get a fire going.".
"I'll go." Marzipan said.
"I'll go too." Domino said.
A little bit behind them, Leatherface and Michael Myers hid their car in the foliage, and got ready to have some fun with the racers. Leatherface got his chainsaw ready, and Michael took out a shining dagger.
Back at the Copacabana, Tommy, Bugs and Daffy were dancing with the four girls, little knowing that these were their enemies.
"WHOA!" Tommy said. "This is sure a fun party!". He took a seat at a table with Nastassja and Vivien.
"If you girls are ever in Vice City, be sure to look me up.".
"We don't think that will be necessary." Vivien said.
"What do you mean?" Tommy asked.
"You'll see." Nastassja said. "Just give us a second.".
She motioned over to Sayuri and Isabelle, indicating the ladies' room on the other side of the bar. All four girls headed over there.
Bugs and Daffy headed back over to join Tommy.
"How ya likin' it, Mr. Vercetti?" Bugs asked.
"It's okay, but I really think we should be heading back to the race now." Tommy said, looking at his watch.
"Party poopers!" Daffy grumbled.
There was a flash of light from the direction of the ladies' room. Suddenly, the door was kicked open, revealing four armoured figures. It was the Dolls in their battle gear.
"You're not going anywhere, fools!" Isabelle yelled, laughing.
People started to scream, and ran away from the bar.
Outside, Jack and his friends had pulled up.
"Sounds like we got here just in time!" Flyguy said.
"Okay, guys, let's go!" Slade said.
In the bar, Tommy had taken his gun out and was firing several shots at the Dolls.
"That won't work, Tommy boy!" Vivien taunted.
Jack Spade entered behind Tommy and pulled out what looked like a laser pistol.
"Try this on for size!" he yelled.
A ball of blue energy was shot from the gun towards Vivien. It hit her square in the chest and knocked her across the room.
"What the hell?" Isabelle said.
"Prototype weapon we were given to test." Slade said as he and the others entered.
"And it looks like it works!" Slammer said, giving Hammer a mischievous glance.
"Okay, I take back what I said about it being a piece of Star Trek crap!" Hammer sighed.
"Who are you guys?" Bugs asked.
"Protection. Compliments of Brock Yates." Flyguy replied. "You guys get outta here! We'll handle this.".
"Thanks!" Tommy said as he and the two toons headed for the exit.
"We can take these guys!" Nastassja sneered. "Let's go.".
The three androids lunged forward. Vivien recovered and threw herself into the fray as well.
"Okay, here we go!" Jack yelled as he and his friends opened fire.
The Dolls took some hits but kept coming. Soon, the men were fighting hand to hand with the Dolls.
Kung Fu Joe fended Sayuri off with his kung fu skills.
"I must warn you." he said. "I'm a master of kung fu, karate, ju-jitsu and a whole lotta shit you've probably never heard of!".
"Yeah?!" Sayuri sneered. "Well I'm afraid I fight dirty!". She aimed a kick at his groin, but he carefully dodged it.
Flyguy successfully fought off Isabelle and knocked her to the ground. Jack and Slade double-teamed Vivien, while Hammer and Slammer kept firing shots here and there.
"We can't win this!" Isabelle yelled. "Retreat!"
The Dolls activated their rocket packs, and flew up through the ceiling into the air.
"We'll be back!" Isabelle yelled as they left.
The rescue team looked satisfied. Slade went over to calm the bartender down.
"Don't worry, sir." he said. "Our employer will foot the bill for the damages.".
The team went out to meet up with Tommy, Bugs and Daffy.
"Hey, you guys were great!" Tommy said.
"All part of the service." Jack said.
"So, you guys need a lift to catch up with your teams?" Hammer asked.
"It would be much appreciated." Daffy said.
"Okay. Hammer, you take Mr. Vercetti, we'll take Bugs and Daffy.".
"Right." Hammer said.
Tommy got into the second Hummer as Bugs and Daffy got into Jack's. As they prepared to go, both drivers put in a cassette tape, and a funky piece of music played.
"What's that?" Bugs asked.
"Our theme music." Jack said, winking. "Every good hero should have some.".
In the jungle, Domino and Marzipan were still looking around for firewood. Domino had found some twigs lying around near a tree.
As she bent down to get them, Leatherface appeared behind her and moved up to her, his chainsaw at the ready.
As he prepared to start his saw up, Marzipan came up behind him.
Seeing the man with the chainsaw, she gasped. She picked up a rock and hurled it at him.
The rock struck him on the head and dazed him. He dropped his chainsaw.
"What the..?" Domino said as she turned around.
"You big bully!" Marzipan said as she came up to Leatherface. She nodded at the tree Domino was near.
"Do you have any idea what you're doing to the environment by cutting down the rainforest?! Of course you don't! You make me so angry!".
She kicked Leatherface in the shin, making him grunt in pain.
"Go on, get out of here!" Marzipan yelled, shoving Leatherface away.
Unsure how to react, Leatherface got up and went in the opposite direction. In his hurry, he tripped over a root and fell to the ground, knocking himself out.
"I didn't know you had that in you." Domino said to Marzipan.
"I know. I just feel deeply about the environment." Marzipan replied.
"Come on, let's get back to camp.". Domino said.
Back at camp, Crocodile Dundee had left the others to check out the engine of the BF Injection. He was bent over it, using a torch to see what he was doing.
Michael Myers came up behind him, ready to stick the dagger in him. Suddenly, Michael stopped as some mosquitoes buzzed around him.
"Bloody mosquitoes!" Crocodile said as some buzzed around him as well. He picked up the spanner he'd been using and swatted around him.
Michael moved forward a bit and got ready to attack.
Before he could, Mick swatted out with the spanner again, and hit Michael on the head.
Michael groaned and fell into the foliage, unconscious.
"Sounded like a big one." Mick mumbled to himself.
Next morning...
the three vehicles headed off, with the BF Injection leading.
"I'll give this to those guys." Strong Bad was saying. "They're great guides.".
"Yeah." Homestar was saying.
In the Direwolf, Domino was now driving.
"Why won't you let me drive?" Meowth was complaining.
"You're a pokemon." Jessie was saying. "They don't give driver's licenses to Pokemon!".
"So?" Meowth said. "You and James don't have licenses either!".
"Oh, shut up!" Domino said. "I'm trying to concentrate on my driving.".
Suddenly, the BF Injection halted. The two other vehicles stopped as well.
"What are you doing?" Strong Bad demanded.
"Look over there!" Steve called, pointing.
The others looked off to the right.
"EEE!" James whimpered. "It's a crocodile!".
Indeed, a large crocodile had crawled into the grass.
"Yeah, a very rare and very vicious crocodile." Dundee said.
"Let's bag it, Mick!" Steve said, as he and Mick got off the buggy.
"For God's sake, there isn't time!" Jessie yelled.
It was too late, as Steve and Mick tackled the crocodile and started to wrestle it.
"Oh, he's a fighter, alright!" Steve yelled.
"Want me to stick him?" Mick yelled as he pulled out his knife.
"No, not yet!" Steve yelled.
The other racers watched the two Australians grapple with the huge crocodile impatiently.
"I wonder if those guys have considered moving to Florida." James said.
Weeks later....
In the Cannonball betting room, Jack was dealing with Joel Madden, the lead singer of Good Charlotte.
"You bet on the Black Knight, right?".
"That's right." Joel said. "How are they doing?".
"They've just entered Argentina now. The Titan's really been giving them a run for their money.". Jack said.
"Yo, bro!" Joel's twin brother Benji said as he entered the room. Benji was lead guitarist of the band.
Joel rolled his eyes when he saw Benji's latest hairstyle. He'd sculpted his hair into an orange mohawk.
"For God's sake, Benji!" Joel said. "What'll you do with your hair next?".
"Hey, I'm just making sure we don't get mistaken for each other." Benji turned to face Jack.
"Where's the Silver Streak at now?".
"Up ahead in the pack. It looks like they could be among the first to get to the bridge.". Jack said.
"How's the bridge coming along now?" Chazz called over.
"I think it's nearly finished.". Shrek said.
"Where does that detour bridge lead anyway?" Sir Elton John asked.
"We're not sure." Donkey said. "It does seem to go to Antarctica, but it passes through some island in the Tropics first."
"I'm glad I bet on the XXS Tomcat." Ozzy Osbourne said. "Even if the "£$%^ bridge isn't fixed, they can just fly over to the Arctic!".
"I hope they'll be alright." Pip said.
In Buenos Aires, the Typhoon was speeding along. Austin was at the wheel.
"This is very shagadelic!" he said. "We'll soon be out of the country!".
"I hope the bridge is ready." Dylan said. "We didn't come all this way to be held up.".
"Nothing's gonna stop us now!" Alex said. "If anything gets in our way, we let 'em have it with the cannon.".
A black Ferrari swerved onto the road behind them.
It was Foyt and Benedict's car.
"This time, there'll be no toying with them." Foyt said. She hit a switch next to her and a minigun came out of the rear of the vehicle.
"Would you mind if I started first?" she asked Mr. Benedict.
"Be my guest." he said.
Foyt opened fire on the Typhoon.
"Uh oh! Trouble!" Natalie said. "We have a follower!".
"Hang on!" Austin yelled. "We'll lose them!".
The Typhoon sped through the city, with the black Ferrari never far behind.
"These guys aren't letting up!" Dylan said.
"Do you think we should use the cannon?" Austin asked.
"Yeah!" the three Angels chorused.
"Okay! Stand by to detach cannon!" Austin said as he pulled a lever.
With a mechanical whine, the rear section of the vehicle detached and rolled off on the two back wheels.
To the rear of the cockpit, a wheel was lowered so the occupants could still drive ahead.
The rear section contained a huge laser cannon, which rolled to behind the Ferrari.
"I don't like the look of that." Foyt said.
"Get us out of here!" Benedict yelled.
Foyt stepped on the accelerator, but in the cockpit of the Typhoon, Natalie was using a remote control to steer the cannon section. It kept up with the Ferrari.
"So long, suckers!" she yelled as she pressed a red button.
The cannon powered up.
Foyt panicked and brought the Ferrari to a stop.
"RUN FOR IT!" she yelled.
She and Benedict got out and ran for their lives as the Typhoon's cannon shot out a great green laser beam.
The Ferrari was completely destroyed.
"That's that!" Alex said.
"Okay, I'm bringing the cannon back." Natalie said as she steered the rear section back to re-attach itself.
"Bye bye, Buenos Aires!" Austin said as he headed out of the city.
Back behind them, Foyt and Benedict looked at the smoking remains of their car.
"Damn those Cannonballers!" she yelled.
Benedict looked across the street and saw several motorcycles parked across the street outside a bar.
"Let's borrow one of those machines." he said.
"Great!" Foyt said as they headed over to one bike. "I started out as a motorcycle cop.".
"HEY!" a voice yelled.
They both turned around to see Ray and his gang exit the bar.
"Get away from my wheels, lady!" Ray yelled at Foyt. "I just bought them!".
"We need some transport!" she said.
"And that's my problem, is it? We've gotta catch those Cannonballers!" Ray said.
"Cannonballers?" Benedict said, raising an eyebrow. "You're after them too?".
"What do you mean 'too'?" Ray snapped. "Those losers are ours, limey!"
"We happen to be after them as well." Foyt said. "But if you 'gentlemen' would be interested in working for us.."
"Working for us?" Benedict said.
"Well, we could use the help." Foyt said.
"What's in it for us?" Ray asked.
"You'll be well paid." Foyt said.
Ray turned to confer with his gang.
"What do you guys think?".
"Well, we make some money, so I don't see why we shouldn't take the job." Ripper said.
The rest of the gang responded positively.
"Okay, lady. You got a deal." Ray said.
"Good." Foyt said, smiling.
On a highway, Captain Harris and Proctor were driving along in a police car. Both still had bruises from their fight in Caracas.
"Oh, come on sir." Proctor was saying. "We both went temporarily insane. Let's just concentrate on catching the Cannonballers.".
"Well, Proctor, one thing I don't intend to forget was that at one point, you hit me when I wasn't even looking!".
Harris kept his eye on the road as they drove on.
In the sky above Argentina, the Creeper was flying around, looking for a target. His sharp eyes spotted the Dragon on the road below.
Smiling, the monster swooped down towards the car.
Kermit was driving.
"How far from the bridge are we now?" he asked Gonzo, who was checking a read out.
"A couple of days. Thank God there's not much distance left to go." Gonzo said.
"Why's that Gonzo?" Rizzo asked.
"The weather here doesn't agree with me much.".
"So? We'll soon be in Antarctica. The weather there doesn't agree with anyone." Fozzie said.
"Well, you'll be pleased to know that I've packed some cold-weather gear for the journey." Miss Piggy said. "For all of us.".
"Oh, that was very generous of you, Piggy." said Kermit.
"Well, if we all freeze, how can we win the race?" Piggy said.
Suddenly, there was a loud thump as The Creeper landed on their roof.
"What was that?" Rizzo asked as he looked up.
There was a scraping sound as the Creeper tried to tear through the roof with his claws.
"Something's on the roof!" Fozzie yelled.
"Hang on! I'll try and shake it off!" Kermit yelled as he started to swerve the car violently.
The Creeper held on for dear life as the car swerved. He nearly fell off as Kermit took a really sharp turn.
He fell off the roof, but grabbed hold of the trunk of the car.
He looked up and saw Animal looking through the rear window.
Animal pressed a button and lowered the rear window.
"Animal! What are you doing?!" Miss Piggy yelled. Animal leaned out the window, and sank his teeth into the Creeper's hand.
The creature yelled in pain and let go of the car, falling onto the road.
"BYE BYE!" Animal said as he closed the window of the car.
The Creeper staggered to his feet on the road, glaring angrily after the Dragon.
He didn't notice Malice fast approaching behind him. Steve Austin and his friends didn't notice the Creeper, as they were looking at the map.
"I think we should take this road up here." Austin said, pointing.
I'M NOT SURE said Death. THIS HIGHWAY TO THE LEFT SEEMS TO BE THE QUICKER WAY.
"Rrrrarrr!" Nemesis said, agreeing with Death.
"Well I don't know.".
There was a thump as Malice hit the Creeper and sent him flying over the car.
"Did we hit something?" Austin said, turning his attention back to the road.
I DON'T THINK SO said Death, pulling an hourglass out of his robe. NO, NO ONE'S DIED YET.
"Okay." Austin said as he drove on.
The Creeper pulled himself off the highway again, and glared after Malice. After a growl, he flipped the distant vehicle the bird.
At the Cannonball Bridge, the Silver Streak, the Cheetah, the Maelstrom and the Banshee had all arrived.
Buckaroo Banzai was talking to one of the construction crew.
"It'll be another hour, Dr. Banzai." the man said. "The bridge is nearly ready.".
"Alright." Buckaroo said as he went back to his car.
"An hour!" Clover snapped. "We could have been in Antarctica by then if the bridge wasn't being fixed!".
"Well, there's not much we CAN do." Carmen said.
"We could take that detour." Juni suggested.
"I don't know." Sam said.
"It's just a long way round." Alex suggested. "It DOES eventually take us to Antarctica. What do we have to lose? If the others get ahead of us, we can always catch up.".
The others thought about this.
"Okay, let's go." Sam said.
Carmen steered the Silver Streak onto the detour bridge, despite the protests of the construction workers.
"Hell, I'm gonna follow 'em, Lee!" Carter said as he started up the Banshee.
"What do you think, Buckaroo?" New Jersey asked Buckaroo.
"Aw, what the hell?" Buckaroo said as he followed the other two cars.
The Cheetah just stayed where it was.
"You're not gonna follow them?" Snake asked Ethan.
"No." Ethan said. "It's so obvious it's bound to be a trap.".
"You couldn't have told them that?". Snake asked.
"I'm sure they can handle themselves." Ethan said. "We'll just have ourselves a little break here.".
"Mind if I smoke?" Snake asked as he took out a cigarette.
"Go ahead, they're your lungs." Ethan said.
Chili Palmer was driving the Stinger 2 down the highway. He was quite enjoying the drive. A black Hummer came up alongside him. He looked over and saw Tommy sitting in the passenger seat.
"Hey, partner!" Tommy yelled. "Finally caught up with you. Permission to come aboard?".
"Permission granted!" Chili yelled as he stopped the car.
The Hummer stopped as well, and Tommy got out.
"Thanks again for the lift, fellas!" Tommy said to Hammer, Slammer and Joe.
"No problem!" Slammer said. "Good luck!".
Hammer spoke into a CB. "We've dropped off Mr. Vercetti!". he said. "You guys made your drop yet?".
"Affirmative!" Slade said over the radio. "Bugs and Daffy are back with their partners.".
"Roger. Over and out." Hammer said.
In the Blue Devil, Bugs had taken over driving from Marvin.
"So, did you guys enjoy your night out?" Marvin asked.
"Well...it was different." Bugs said.
"You can say that again." Daffy said.
The blue car sped on. Suddenly, something bounced over them.
It was the Purple Haze, with a huge pogo stick coming out from under it.
"YAHOO!" Wakko yelled. "This is the only way to travel!".
"I think you need to calm down a little, Wakko." Dr. Scratchensniff said. "Here's a little shot for you.".
He leaned over to try and inject Wakko, but the impact of their next landing made him miss and inject his own arm.
"Are you okay, doc?" Yakko asked.
"Yeah, sure." Scratchensniff said groggily. "Good night.".
He fell to the floor, asleep.
"Aw, isn't cute?" Dot said. "He's just taking a nap.".
"Okay, let's go!" Wakko said as they bounced on.
Meanwhile, the Infernus and the Shockwave were roaring along the road.
At the roadside, the Rhino tank pulled out, it's gun at the ready.
"Here we go!" Jim said as he steered the vehicle.
"Got 'em in your sights, Fred?". he asked his partner.
"Yeah!" Freddy said. "Locked on. And..FIRE!".
The turret spat out a shell which nearly hit the Infernus.
"What's going on?!" Mai demanded.
Lara looked in their rear view.
"A tank! Someone must be getting desperate!" she said.
"Well, they picked the wrong day to mess with us!" Chun-Li said. "I'll give them a taste of our minigun! Turn us round to face him.".
Lara slammed on the brakes and turned the Infernus around. The Shockwave had also turned around and was now alongside the Infernus.
"Thanks for the support, buddy." Mirai yelled over to Ghost Rider.
"It's no problem." he replied.
The Infernu's hood opened to reveal a minigun.
"What are they doing?!" Freddy said to himself as he looked through the gun sight.
"Just give it to 'em!" Jim yelled.
Freddy prepared to fire again, but before he could, Ghost Rider fired the cannon on the front of his vehicle.
A ray of heat was shot from it, and the tank's cannon was instantly melted.
"Uh oh!" Freddy said to himself.
Chun-Li opened fire with the minigun, causing much damage to the tank's armour.
"I'm gonna keep going!" Jim yelled. "I'll flatten them.".
Ghost Rider pointed his cannon to the ground and fired. A deep ditch was cut in the earth, and the tank went into it before it could stop.
"Well done, Ghost Rider!" Mai said, giving him a thumbs up.
"My pleasure." he said. "I think I'll leave you to finish up here.".
"Okay. Good luck." Mirai said, blowing him a kiss as he turned his mighty cycle around and left.
"I'll get them out." Chun-Li said as she got out of the Infernus and went down into the ditch.
"Get us out of here!" Freddy yelled to Jim.
"We can't go anywhere!" Jim yelled back.
Chun-Li started to apply some of her martial arts moves to the tank, kicking it viciously.
She then leapt up onto the turret and hit it in certain areas.
Grabbing hold of what was left of the cannon, she swung down to the front of the tank, and delivered a couple more vicious kicks.
Laughing, she climbed back up out of the ditch.
Within seconds, the rivets started to pop out of the tank, and it began to fall to pieces.
Soon, it had collapsed completely, leaving Freddy and Jim sitting in the middle of a pile of junk.
"I don't believe it!" Freddy yelled as he kicked one of the pieces of collapsed armour.
Chun-Li got back in the Infernus, and they drove off.
"The bridge should be open by now." Mai said.
"Guess we're Arctic-bound." Mirai said.
The bridge had been opened, and the racers were already making their way across.
"Here we go!" Riku said as he steered the Phantom.
"Okay, now let's all watch ourselves this time." Cid said. "We must be prepared for whatever lies ahead.".
The Direwolf was a little behind them.
"I knew those twerps would be ahead of us!" Meowth moaned.
"Well at least we're out of that stinking jungle!" Jessie said. "And away from those Aussie nutcases!".
"If we ever end up working with them again, I'll go crazy!" Domino said.
"Well, there you have it, guys!" Christian Amanpour said to the camera. "Our racers are now making their way to the Antarctic.".
"That's great guys." Kat said, back at the Cannonball Dome. "Who's leading right now.".
"It's difficult to say." Carson Daly said. "The first racer to cross this bridge was the Mantis, but before that, three other cars took the Detour bridge.".
"Whichever of them reaches Antarctica first is anybody's guess." Christian said.
"Well, thanks guys." Lazlow said. "Well folks, just stay tuned to this channel and we'll keep you informed.".
"This is Kat"
"Lazlow"
"Max"
"And Misty, signing off. Before we go here is U2 and Clarence Clemons performing the Bruce Springsteen classic Born To Run!".
In the day we sweat it out in the streets of a runaway American dream
At night we ride through mansions of glory in suicide machines
Sprung from cages out on highway 9,
Chrome wheeled, fuel injected and steppin' out over the line
Baby this town rips the bones from your back
It's a death trap, it's a suicide rap
We gotta get out while we're young
`Cause tramps like us, baby we were born to run
Wendy let me in I wanna be your friend
I want to guard your dreams and visions
Just wrap your legs round these velvet rims
and strap your hands across my engines
Together we could break this trap
We'll run till we drop, baby we'll never go back
Will you walk with me out on the wire
`Cause baby I'm just a scared and lonely rider
But I gotta find out how it feels
I want to know if love is wild, girl I want to know if love is real
Beyond the Palace hemi-powered drones scream down the boulevard
The girls comb their hair in rearview mirrors
And the boys try to look so hard
The amusement park rises bold and stark
Kids are huddled on the beach in a mist
I wanna die with you Wendy on the streets tonight
In an everlasting kiss
The highway's jammed with broken heroes on a last chance power drive
Everybody's out on the run tonight but there's no place left to hide
Together Wendy we'll live with the sadness
I'll love you with all the madness in my soul
Someday girl I don't know when we're gonna get to that place
Where we really want to go and we'll walk in the sun
But till then tramps like us baby we were born to run
Born To Run by Bruce Springsteen
The Banshee, the Silver Streak and the Maelstrom coasted across the detour bridge.
"I'm not sure if it was wise to go this way, Carter." Lee said.
"Well, what's the worst that could happen?" Carter replied. "Can your computer map tell us the name of that island we're going to pass through?".
Lee checked the readout.
"Yes. It's called Isla Sorna.".
"Isla Sorna?" Carter repeated. "I know that name from somewhere. Can't remember where though.".
Carter just stepped on the gas and continued across the bridge.
TO BE CONTINUED
AUTHOR NOTE: Sorry I couldn't have the Isla Sorna sequence here, but the chapter was getting rather long. Please R&R. And watch this space for the next chapter!
