Fight and Simone's Escape

Meanwhile, the fight between Street Hawk and the Hood is starting to get brutal, especially with the Hood trying to control Street Hawk's mind. As soon as Street Hawk realizes what the Hood is trying to do, he uses the only sensible idea available. The Hood then gets a look at Street Hawk's eyes and sees that they are closed.

"You're not controlling my mind, Hood. I'm not gonna let it happen. You, your cohorts and Prevera abducted four couples that have nothing to do with you, threatened to kill them and now you're trying to take over my free will. Only a complete coward would resort to such measures."

"Nevertheless, I shall prevail." At that, they hear a young girl's voice. Along with sinister laughter.

"Not today, ya bald tumbleweed!" Without any further warning, the Hood receives a scorching pain in his skull as a sadistically-grinning, red-headed teenage girl places a red-hot branding iron to his head. "Told ya I was gonna brand ya, Baldy!" Simone screams at the sight of the demoniacally-grinning girl and starts running away.

The Hood turns around, in severely excruciating pain and looks at Joss, his eyes going cat-like. Suddenly, he feels a shot go into the back of his right knee. As the Hood collapses onto the floor in pain, he sees Street Hawk walk up, pistol in hand.

"You heard what the girl said, Baldy. You also heard what I said. You're not taking over my mind or anyone else's. Miss Possible, why'd you deviate from the plan?"

"Fermat heard them screaming inside the one spot we began cutting at. So we stopped and Alan decided we should use the surface approach. Tintin and Ms. McCoy agreed whole-heartedly."

"Okay. Urzu-7 should be here in a few minutes with them. Feel up to some guard duty?"

"FAB, Street Hawk."

"Good show. Now, whatever you do, don't make eye contact with this guy. I read his hot sheet and am familiar with his abilities. He's able to control people just by looking into their eyes. If he tries anything, don't hesitate to use these on him." He then hands Joss a blindfold and a pair of Tuff-Cuffs.

"Sure thing, Street Hawk. What're you gonna do though?"

"I'm going after Prevera. Her evil plans have gone on for too long now and this one has just been stopped cold. She's bound to be feeling very desperate by now."

"Well, just in case yer able to catch up to her, use these on her." She then hands Street Hawk the sling with the gardening shears. "They're for her Texan Pedicure."

"Okay, I'm on it." With that, Joss nods as Street Hawk takes off running, given that Simone had run off when the red-headed girl arrived.

As he runs, Street Hawk thinks, 'I guess she doesn't want that pedicure Joss wants to give her. That doesn't mean I can't give it to her, though!'

In another part of the submarine, Simone makes her way to the Conning Tower and the escape rockets. 'I can't believe it! She found me! That little heathen found me! I've got to get away from her, yesterday! I don't want to lose my toes to her! Or at all! What the fuck?'

She then comes to a stop, seeing Mullion duking it out with Sousuke Sagara. The match suddenly comes to a violent end as Sousuke maniacally grins, ducks Mullion's punch, brings up a grenade, pulls the pin and drops it down Mullion's pants. Right into the area of the massive man's groin.

After Mullion looks up in horror at a still-maniacally-grinning Sousuke, the grenade detonates. The sudden impact causes him to fall to his knees before he curls into a ball, crying out in sheer agony.

Simone blanches at the sight before her as she quietly adds Sousuke's name to the list of people she wishes to kill. She manages to stick around long enough to hear Connie ask a question.

"What'd you do to him?"

"I dropped a concussion grenade down his pants. It's not a problem."

Monique, now slightly pale and at great unease, asks, "Not a problem? Boy, you may have neutered him! Men aren't supposed to do that to each other!"

"Of course it's a possibility, Mrs. Tracy. Defeating him was my intent after all. Besides, when fighting an opponent that large, that's the only reasonable tactic to use for defeating him." He then turns and says, "I'm ready to get out of here. Are you?"

Scott nods and replies, "Right behind you, Sousuke."

At that, the four couples and the assistant-turned-rescuer make their way out of the submarine, not noticing Simone lurking around the corner. As they leave her sight, Simone shakes in anger as she thinks about what she had just seen.

'A young boy just casually dropped a concussion grenade down a man's pants? Whatever happened to rules of engagement or even civil manners? Sousuke Sagara, whoever you are, I'll get you for this!' She then shudders as she makes her way to the rockets and ponders, "I wonder if anyone else had ever heard of Mithril. And what the fuck is wrong with Miss Transom? Did she give away our position? That's one more person on my death-list."

Meanwhile, Street Hawk is making his way through the sub, Glock still in hand, as he tracks Simone. He then sees the couples with Sousuke and stops to ask if they'd seen Simone.

"Negative, Street Hawk. I didn't see any sign of her. She must be hiding somewhere."

"Roger that, Urzu-7. Get them out of here. Miss Possible is with the Hood right now. You may want to have Geybo 8 take him to a treatment facility. He's got a very bad burn on his head."

"What about you, Street Hawk?"

"I'm going after Simone. If she wants a bloodbath, she's got one. I'm not letting her get away, Urzu-7. Not by a long shot."

"Understood. Go get her."

"Roger." At that, Street Hawk runs along the corridor as the couples make their way out of the sub.

As the couples make their way through the decks, Connie turns to Lonnie, shivers and asks, "Is it just me, or did the temperature drop about fifty degrees in here? Street Hawk's tone was ice cold."

"I'd say a little of both. I certainly wouldn't want to be in Simone's shoes. Let's not discuss it until we're out of this rat-hole."

"Agreed." Very soon, they are greeted by an eerie sight. Joss Possible tying up an already bound and blindfolded Hood. "Joss, what's going on here?"

"This no-good, side-windin' varmint tried his mind control bit on me, Connie! So I blindfolded him and put the Tuff-Cuffs on him. When he started wrigglin' his way out, I decided to tie him up. Y'all ready to get on out of here? I sure am."

"FAB."

Joss chuckles at the combined reply and leads the Hood outside, with the couples, Sousuke and Transom right behind her. Suddenly, out of nowhere a helicopter appears out of thin air. Transom is the first to gawk at the sight and reels when she sees Sousuke bring out a headset.

"Urzu-7 to Geybo 8, I have one Medical Evac. He's suffered a massive second-degree burn on his cranium and is wearing a blindfold. There is another patient, but we'll need at least six men to carry him. He's one gigantic sucker."

"Roger Urzu-7. Does the one you have request the blindfold be removed?"

"Negative, Geybo 8. I also advise against removing the blindfold. He is able to hypnotize upon making eye contact."

"Geybo 8, roger. Touching down now. I also have a Medical Team on board, along with five SRT soldiers. They'll remove the man down inside."

"Roger that." He then turns to the couples and says, "It's best you get out of here now, folks."

Scott replies, "Not until he's onboard, 'Urzu-7'. Then we'll get out of here."

Lonnie then says, "Not so fast. I think we need some answers. Just who the hell are you guys?"

Sousuke softly grins and asks, "Would you believe we're the good guys?"

Monique nods happily as Geybo 8 touches down on the sub. She then says, "Anyone that's willing to work with Street Hawk is great in my book."

Back in the sub, Simone is reaching the escape rockets when she hears, "Freeze!" She turns around and sees Street Hawk aiming his Glock at her. "You're not going anywhere, Prevera!"

Simone scoffs before asking, "Do you know how inappropriate that word is, Street Hawk? Do I look frozen to you?"

"I don't give a rat's ass, bitch. If you don't put your hands up, you'll wind up ice cold. And I mean on a slab in the Medical Examiner's Office, as a corpse. But, since I'm a gentleman, I'll let you live. That is, if you put your hands up."

"Let's say not, Street Hawk." With that, Simone twitches her wrist and brings up a double-barreled Derringer, yelling, "Die!" She then fires at Street Hawk, as he does the same at her, just as the sub rocks and starts listing to the right. She manages to recover slightly, only to see the bullet doesn't penetrate his AS suit.

The bullet from his Glock, however, goes right into her left arm, bringing out a screech of pain. Before either can fire again, the sub rocks again and starts listing to the right even more. That's all the diversion she needs as she ducks herself into an escape rocket and initiates launch sequence.

"No you don't!" Street Hawk opens fire on the rocket's cockpit, only to be horrified to find out the glass is light-grade bulletproof glass. He then resolves to end her rocket trip before it begins. Opening fire on the rocket, Street Hawk hits the fins on the rocket and it's fuel supply.

Inside the rocket, Simone laughs evilly as she watches Street Hawk try stopping her flight. 'Sorry, Street Hawk, but you'll have to do better than that.' She then smiles and flashes Street Hawk the 'Victory' sign, only to get the finger and more gunfire in reply.

Suddenly, she groans as she remembers her wound. "He's certainly no gentleman at all! Only a very naughty person can do that to a very beautiful woman like myself!" At that, the escape rocket launches, with Street Hawk running out of ammunition as it clears the submarine.

"Damn. Bon-Bon's not going to like this. Neither is Norman. I know I sure don't." With that, Street Hawk clenches his fist and says, "One way or another, you're dead meat, you fuckin' bitch. You hear me? You're fuckin' dead!" Opening the communications link, he gives his report.

Inside her Arm Slave, War Bird is angered at Street Hawk's report of Simone's escape. She then snarls out, "Don't worry, Street Hawk. We'll get that loser bitch. Even if we have to chase her to the ends of the earth. One way or another, she's going down!" Little do they both realize that the rounds fired from Street Hawk's Glock had done some considerable damage to the rocket.

At Geybo 8, the couples watch the Hood and Mullion about to get loaded onto the helo and feel the sub listing when they hear a rocket launching and gunfire. The couples and Sousuke turn around in time to see a rocket fly away from the submarine. From that moment on, they all feel like this won't be the final encounter they have with the madwoman.

Inside the rocket, Simone is finding a basic First Aid kit. Without further delay, she tends to her wound. 'Damn, he really got me good. That bullet's still in there. I don't think I have enough fuel to get back to the resort either.'

Next thing she knows, the rocket's trajectory begins to slightly decay and sparks start flying from the screens. Thankful for the controls, she takes hold of them and tries to hold it steady. As she flies the rocket, she allows a curse to escape from her mouth.

"Damn you, Street Hawk!"

Back on the sub, the couples watch as the Hood and Mullion, both heavily shackled, are both finally loaded onto Geybo 8, along with Transom. Suddenly, Sousuke says, "Not her. She helped facilitate the rescue operation." A stunned Mullion looks over at Transom, a hurt expression on his face. Of course, the explosion against his groin is having precedence over her betrayal.

"You got it, Urzu-7." An SRT warrior releases Transom from her bonds, nods and says, "You take it easy and keep your nose clean, ma'am."

"I will. Thank you." Her mouth then drops open when she sees a submarine, just about equally-sized to the Hood's sub, surface. "Where did that sub come from?"

Lonnie snorts as she remarks, "It may have come from Mars. It certainly looks like something you'd find in Science Fiction movies."

"Actually, you're only partly correct, Mrs. Tracy. The Tuatha de Danaan is a wonder of science for certain, but it was made here on Earth." The TDD-1 then comes alongside the submarine and Sousuke ties a mooring line from the de Danaan onto the Hood's sub. Once he's done, a platform emerges from the side of the sub.

"Okay, ladies and gentlemen, if you'll calmly walk along the gangway, you'll be onboard the de Danaan for a Medical Examination." The couples nod and follow Sousuke along the gangway, with Transom right behind them.

Monique then has a thought and asks, "Why did you send the Hood and Mullion on Geybo 8 when they could have been examined on the submarine?"

"Gauron."

"Who?"

"A homicidal lunatic terrorist named Gauron. He's the reason why the Hood and Mullion are on Geybo 8 right now. He escaped with the help of traitors that killed two of my comrades, took over the sub and nearly killed everybody."

Now intrigued, Connie asks, "What happened with Gauron at the end?"

"Follow me, please." They all turn at the voice and see the man that claimed to be Sousuke's foster Father. Shrugging, they all follow the man while Sousuke stays behind.

"Somehow, he survived being thrown off the de Danaan at sea, but at a high cost. He was confined to a wheelchair when he was finally tracked down and annihilated. Actually, I think the term 'blown to smithereens' would be more apt. Given that Urzu-7 was the one that blew him up."

The couples nervously chuckle and Transom snorts, saying, "Oh come on. It's not like you have his head on a mantle or anything."

"Actually, I do." With that, he opens the door and the couples see a shelf with a partially destroyed head in a jar of formaldehyde. To them, the sight is horrendous. A massive scar along the left cheek, bullet holes in the top portion of the head and a widely opened mouth.

Next thing he knows, the couples all faint upon the sight. While Transom's jaw drops to the floor, right before she vomits and passes out. "Now that they're sedated, we can proceed with the Medical examination. Dr. Goldberry, would you be so kind as to come to my quarters so you can perform your examinations?"

"On my way, Lieutenant Commander. Are they conscious?"

"No, I'm afraid not, Doctor."

"You showed them the head, didn't you?" When the Doctor doesn't get a reply, she sighs and says, "One of these days, you'll give someone a heart attack like that. I'm on my way now, Lieutenant Commander."

Five minutes later, the African-American woman gets to Kalinin's door and knocks. "Ah, Doctor Goldberry. Your patients are right inside. I'll have some men transfer our extra guest to a security room after she's examined."

"Thank you, Lieutenant Commander." At that, Dr. Peggy Goldberry goes into Kalinin's cabin and performs her examinations on the couples and Transom.

Meanwhile, in another part of the planet, three hours later, the rocket touches down, or rather makes a very earth-shaking crash, on it's belly in the middle of a desert. A very dizzy Simone makes her way out of the rocket, stumbling as she does so. The past three hours of flight had been hell for her.

Sparking screens, occasional wisps of smoke from the console and control units and the fire extinguisher units kept on going off. The latter of which repeatedly covered Simone in foam and dry chemical mixtures. When the rocket's fuel supply had dwindled to nothing, it took a major nosedive. Only Simone's meager piloting skills kept her from becoming a stain within debris.

As she steps onward through the desert, she soon comes across a pile of debris and a license plate. "Hmm, California. I either crashed in California or somewhere south of the border." She then sees a small box with blinking lights on the inside.

"Hello, what's this here?" As she bends down and picks the strange item up, she receives a massive shock that knocks her out. As she fades into unconsciousness, she hears a malevolent voice address her. However, the voice speaks brokenly.

"I am the... Roving Robot."

Some time later, Simone regains consciousness and slowly sits up, not wanting to go dizzy from sitting up so quickly. "Ugh, where am I?"

"Simple. You're in my home." She turns toward the voice and sees a Caucasian man wearing a small mustache, goatee and a black ensemble. "I found you out in the desert after getting a signal from a piece of my family's technology. I must admit, you fell for the trap it had established too easily. You also lost a good-sized amount of blood, so I had the best Doctors on my payroll keep you alive. They were even able to remove the hollow-point bullet from your arm. They did an excellent stitching job on you. I'm confident it won't leave a scar."

"I recall another voice. Something about a 'roving robot'. What's that about?"

"Ah, you came across my late Father's one 'failure'. We have something to discuss now it seems."

Simone slowly crosses her arms, stating, "The only thing I intend to discuss is Street Hawk and Mithril. Along with how to bring them down."

"Mithril? Now that is certainly something to discuss. Along with Street Hawk."

Confused, Simone asks, "Why are you so fascinated by those names?"

To her surprise, the man smiles evilly as he asks, "Have you ever heard of the Sho-Da-Kah?"

"Yes. But only that it had killed the original Street Hawk and is now in hiding."

"True on both counts. However." With a motion of his hand, he asks her to get up from the bed, only to catch her when she slightly stumbles. "Easy there. You were out for half a day now." She can't help but notice his prominent limp as he steps back from her.

"What happened to you?" The man waves for her to follow him with his head and they begin walking together.

"My 'brother' and his car. They sent myself, my beloved Adrienne and our vehicle off of a cliff. She perished while I survived."

He then takes her to another part of the house and smiles savagely. In front of them is a black big rig with a grill guard and roof-mounted rocket launchers on it.

"I'd like you to meet Goliath. Soon to be version 2.0. With the box that you had found, it's CPU programming and Goliath's body, we will finally succeed where the leadership of the Sho-Da-Kah had failed."

"What would that goal be, sir?"

"Oh please, call me Garthe."

"Very well, Garthe. I'm Simone Prevera, the rightful ruler of San Pablo."

"Ah, Your Highness, it's very nice to meet you." That causes a light chuckle from both of them as Garthe explains his plans.

When he's finished, he then says, "For now, why don't you have some fun. Target any community you'd like and it'll fall."

"I've got a place in mind." With that, Simone tells Garthe where she'd like the crime rate increasing at.
