Chapter Five: Attempt at Redemption

The Wild Kru made a beeline for the tour-van and watched as Vader's long black limo sped off. Sylvester put his foot down and accelerated. The van bumped and grinded as the limo started to leave view. Eddy looked at his friends, Ed & Double-D, and yelled, "What are you two doing! Knitting! We've got to help our team! You two better get on that roof and jump on the limo before I START HANDING OUT THAILAND CAPITALS!" Ed & Double-D stuttered. Sylvester & Homer, tired of the delays, huffed.

"Red, take the wheel! Me & Homer are going to save Sierra!" Sylvester shouted and Red Tiger took control of the van.

Sylvester & Homer climbed to the top of the van just as the black limo turned, ready for a game of chicken. Red looked on with fear in his eyes. The engines of the limo revved up and went face-first into the van. There were just minor dents in the van, the limo was demolished and Sylvester went flying with Homer following shortly thereafter. Red Tiger, Ed, Double-D, Eddy, Larry & Sarmoti jumped out of the van and ran to the limo. Sylvester grabbed a crowbar and smashed the windows, but nobody was inside the limo. Sylvester flew into a rage.

"Damn it! Now we'll never save Sierra!" he grunted. Red then thought.

"Sly, remember the old galaxy joke: Luke and Obi Wan were in a Chinese restaurant and Luke goes 'I can't use these chopsticks, master' before Obi Wan says 'Just use the Forks'. It's simple: there's a Chinese restaurant at the Motor City Mall which has devoted itself to the Star Wars saga! They're going to the Motor City Mall!" Red explained.

"What are we waiting for, then?" Eddy smirked as the Wild Kru jumped back in the van.

Sylvester ran inside the Motor City Mall… and found Darth Vader.

"Where is she, Vader!" Sylvester demanded. Vader breathed.

"WHERE IS SIERRA!" Sly repeated. Vader activated his Light-sabre and kept breathing.

"ALL RIGHT! YOU ASKED FOR IT!" Sly threatened, but the Public Enemy showed up before the cat could make his move. Then the Wild Kru filtered in to meet them.

"You certainly come prepared, cat! But how will you be able to defeat my troopers?" Vader asked sarcastically. Stormtroopers filled the emptying Mall with blasters at the ready.

"We got company!" Homer shouted. Then Sarmoti, Ed & Double-D joined the fight. Obi Wan Kenobi appeared out of nowhere and passed a spare light-sabre to Sylvester as Stormtroopers' bodies lay everywhere. Sly activated his weapon and attacked his former buddy Bugs Bunny viscously, which forced Bugs to escape. As everybody else brawled with Stormtroopers, Sly faced Vader, light-sabre at the ready. When it looked like Vader was about to attack, he disappeared. Then all the Stormtroopers went POOF! Gone. Public Enemy fled as well. Sly went to a golden coffin… and discovered Sierra. He used the light-sabre to unhook her bonds and picked her lifeless body up.

"Tomorrow live on pay-per-view… Vader's mine!" Sly vowed.

In the van, Homer, Red Tiger & Eddy were in discussion.

"What are we going to do tomorrow?" Eddy asked.

"We're going to do our best. That's what's expected of us. When I met Sylvester, we had some adventures. We signed with XLW in 2000 and stayed there for 3 years. We held the Tag belts and he eventually won the XLW World title. I have hope in him that he will reproduce his success during the match tomorrow. He hopes the entire team will do better! When we joined HWF in 2004, we held the Intercontinental Tag Team titles… but when I caused an inadvertent mugging on Larry, I went into depression and forfeited the belts." Red explained.

"Let's hope that don't happen now, cos' we need you. The HWF World Annihilation title is our top priority… wait, I'll go one better than that: watching each others backs is our top priority! When I lost the HWF Unified World title to Black Falcon back in January, I pulled off a swinging fisherman buster during that match called the Homing Missile DDT for the first time and the crowd went crazy." Homer replied.

"I had a little bit of success too: I won the HWF Undisputed United States title in a tournament in 2001… beating Homer with a move called the E-Driver during our match in Pontiac last year." Eddy explained too.

"Let's hope our momentum helps from all of those title reigns, because tomorrow is judgement day! Let's do this." Red said, giving motivation to his team for the final 24 hours leading up to the finals of the tournament.
