'It's what?' Hawke asked staring at the video image of Michael, Marella and Caitlin.

'It's operating on its own.' Caitlin repeated. 'And we think it might target you and the original Airwolf for blowing up Moffett.'

'I'm not sure I understand,' Dom broke in, 'are you telling us that this other Airwolf thinks Moffett is its pilot and it's on some kinda…kinda revenge mission?'

'At the moment we think it's trying to find Moffett,' Michael said, 'but there is the possibility when it realises that you blew up Moffett that it will come after you.'

'Or after Red Star.' Hawke said grimly.

Michael nodded. 'We've also alerted Langley as that was the target Moffett had programmed under the logic bomb.'

'Do we have any idea where this thing is now?' Hawke asked.

'We have satellites searching for it now.' Michael said. 'We've also transferred the frequency of the homing beacon to you.'

'I got it.' Dom confirmed. 'I'm scanning but there's nothing yet.'

'We could stay flying around all day and not find it.' Hawke commented.

Michael sighed. 'What do you suggest?'

'I think we should…' Hawke began.

'Ah String?' Dom broke in. 'Airwolf's kinda taken over here.'

Hawke glanced back over his shoulder. 'What?'

'She's accessing some kinda satellite system.' Dom said glancing at Hawke helplessly.

'Great.' Hawke muttered. That's all they needed; a rogue Airwolf flying around the sky somewhere and their own Airwolf taking control.

'She's found it.' Dom said astonished.

'Where?' Michael leaned closer to the camera as though he was trying to climb through the lens and into the cockpit.

Dom's expression was grave. 'It's on a direct course for Red Star.'

'Evacuate Red Star control.' Hawke ordered. His eyes met his wife's on the video screen. 'We're on our way.' It was a promise to her; he would be there in time, he would save her.

'We're on it.' Michael said and the video screen went blank.

'Combat mode. Turbos, Dom.' Hawke ordered.

'Combat mode. Turbos.'

They shot forward.

'ETA?' Hawke demanded.

'We're not going to make it.' Dom muttered. 'Gemini will get to Red Star in five minutes; our ETA is seven.'

'Remove the safeties.' Hawke instructed and pushed Airwolf harder. He had to get there before the other helicopter started blowing up Red Star.

'Safeties removed.' Dom confirmed.

The siren started screaming and the frame shook.

Dom tried to adjust the systems, tried to keep up with the changes that were needed. 'We're breaking apart back here.' He barked.

'Keep her together, Dom.' Hawke growled, his attention completely focused on the synchronicity between him and Airwolf, keeping on course, keeping her steady and balanced whilst the helicopter shook with the stress of the speed they were subjecting her to.

Dom went to adjust the turbo pressure and his hand halted above the dial. It was already corrected. He swallowed hard and checked the next system. Airwolf was streaking ahead of him, adjusting, altering her systems to compensate. His eyes narrowed. More than that the machine was pushing more power to her turbos; she was almost doing mach 2. He left her to it and tapped in the instructions for the forward scans.

Gemini was vectoring across Devil's Anvil; it would reach Red Star in two minutes. Dom's lips pressed together. Its chain guns and ADF pods were already deployed.

Hawke saw the course correction register on the front monitor and adjusted their course. They would come at Red Star from the other angle to Gemini and hopefully cut the other helicopter off before it got close enough to the buildings to fire.

Airwolf shot over the Red Star complex.

'Airwolf, this is Red Star mobile control. We're evacuated. I repeat we're evacuated.' Michael's voice through the radio had Dom breathing a sigh of relief. 'We've transferred the self-destruct sequence to your onboard computer. You should be able to deliver it to Gemini.'

'I read you, Michael.' Dom confirmed.

Hawke ignored the conversation; his blue eyes narrowed as the target came into view and his brain realised that they would collide a moment before he felt Airwolf alter their course to avoid the mid-air collision by inches.

Airwolf slammed past Gemini.

Both helicopters spun out of control in the blue sky above Red Star.

Airwolf took control with the loss of her engines; she disengaged the turbos, reengaged her rotors and stabilised her balance trusting her pilot to steady her as Gemini regained its position in the sky.

Airwolf hovered in front of her duplicate. She didn't wait for Dom; she transmitted the self-destruct sequence.

Hawke heard Dom detail Airwolf's actions over the radio and he ordered the turbos. If Gemini exploded they needed to be out of the blast range.

'Turbos,' confirmed Dom gruffly. 'Gemini is pursuing.'

Hawke hit the button to take them to mach speed; Airwolf trembled beneath him. 'Hold it together, baby. Just a little longer.' He muttered as they went to the floor.

'Airwolf, this is mobile control.' Karen Hansen's panicked voice crackled through the headset. 'Gemini has aborted the self-destruct. I repeat Gemini has aborted the self-destruct.'

'Guess we're going to have to destroy it the old-fashioned way.' Hawke said.

'Easier said than done, kid.' Dom grimaced at the scans. 'It's all over us.'

The chatter of gunfire across the tail had Hawke pulling back on the stick and sending Airwolf into a power climb.

'It's still with us.' Dom noted. 'It's fired a missile at us.'

Airwolf deployed a counter-measure before Hawke could give an order. The sunburst caught the heat-seeker close to their tail and the explosion shook them.

'String, it's like trying to escape your own shadow.' Dom's eyes widened. 'It's got another one off.'

Hawke's eyes widened and he rolled Airwolf a little. The missile shot under the helicopter and impacted with the side of the rocky valley.

He came off the turbos and dived to the floor of the Valley; Gemini overshot them in the sky above.

Airwolf streaked over the valley floor.

Gemini unleashed another missile; a sunburst took care of it.

'Gemini is right behind us.' Dom noted grimly.

Hawke's eyes narrowed and his fingers tightened on the stick; he was keeping up a strange weaving pattern across the canyon floor, going left, then right, at odd moments, confusing Gemini who had never seen the pattern before.

The wall of the canyon was directly ahead of them.

'Uh, String…' Dom muttered nervously as he caught onto Hawke's strategy.

'When I tell you, Dom.' Hawke murmured. 'Fire a Copperhead and give me turbos.'

'Right.' Dom set up the missile.

The wall was getting closer.

Hawke's body tensed. His mind leapt ahead and calculated the distance.

Gemini closed on Airwolf, readied her weapons.

'Gemini has a direct lock.' Dom warned.

Without conscious thought, Hawke pulled back on the stick. 'Now.' He yelled as he fired the missile.

The turbos ignited; Airwolf screamed upwards as she took over the directional control on the copperhead sending it on a direct path to Gemini.

Gemini tried to evade; it was too late. The explosion sent a ball of fire and smoke pluming into the blue sky.

Hawke turned Airwolf back towards Red Star. Her eerie howl sounded over the burning wreckage of her twin.
