(A/N: Now this chapter I like. It's the one when Aska and Chage run away with Angel. But, if you watched the video, there were two possible outcomes to the rescue. The first one was all 3 of them dying, and the second was them escaping. So which did I choose? Only one way to find out.)

Disclaimer: I own nothing.

Chapter 5: On the Run

The chief rubbed his forehead as he felt a headache coming on. Now that The Sight had been taken down, all the paperwork and other nonsense came in; all the stuff he really hated. But if this was what was necessary to take down The Sight, he would gladly do it, no matter how much he despised it. But the thing that was really driving him and his men out of their minds were the cries of the few survivors of The Sight constantly screaming about him murdering Nova, their so-called 'messiah'.

The door to his office burst open and one his men rushed in. "Chief, there's a call for you on line one."

The chief groaned. "I'm very busy here. Can't someone else handle it?"

"They say it's urgent. Something about a contamination breakout."

The chief sighed. "Alright, I'll handle it." He picked up the phone. "Chief Tomare here."

"Chief, we have a breech in the contamination unit! The winged woman from The Sight held captive is loose."

The winged woman? Then the angel that Officers Chage and Aska rescued and defended came back to him. "So contact the decontaminators."

"Chief, two of your officers have broken her out. The same ones that are responsible for violating the contamination law by refusing to let her be taken in."

This surprised the chief. "Aska and Chage?" he said out loud to himself.

"Yes, them! We need you to bring them in and retrieve the girl."

The chief sighed again. "This is the police force. We do not go after your escaped guinea pigs."

"Chief, with all do respect, this woman is a danger to the community! She could contam-"

"Oh cut the crap!" the chief snapped. He was in a very grumpy mood and didn't have the patience for this. "I don't believe for a minute that you were holding that woman for the public health."

The next time the doctor spoke, he had a superior tone. "Chief, might I remind you that this is a matter of public health; whether you believe it or not. Your men are violating this. It is our call to make. And you know the consequences for not following th-"

"Yes, yes, I'm aware." The chief interrupted. He rubbed his eyes. "Very well, we'll take care of it. Goodbye."

He quickly hung up before the doctor could say anything more about this bogus contamination breech. He stood up and exited his office. He knew Aska and Chage meant well, but, once again, his hands were tied.

"Alright people. We've got a situation. I need a team to bring in Officers Aska and Chage."

There was some confused muttering among the officers. Finally one of them asked the question that they were all wondering.

"What are we bringing them in for, sir?"

The chief rolled his eyes. "Breaking and entering. Just bring them in, I'll take care of them from there."

Aska and Chage ran past the nearly deflated scientists and out into the hall. They knew that there was no way they could go out the way they came in, security would be all over the place.

"Down here!" Aska cried, leading Chage down a hall that neither of them had been down.

"Where are we going?" Chage asked as he struggled to run in his suit.

"I looked at the blueprints of this place when I hacked in." Aska explained. "There should be- ah, here it is! In here!"

He kicked a door open and ran inside, Chage close behind. It was a long dark tunnel, lit only by the red flashing alarm.

"Where's this lead to?" asked Chage.

"Their hover-cars." Aska replied. "You know how to hotwire a vehicle, don't you?"

Chage pulled off his mask and smirked. "Of course! You've seen me do it before. Just leave it to me."

They reached the end of the tunnel. Just as Aska had said, the hover-cars were there. They quickly threw off the decontaminator suits, making moving around much easier, and headed for the closet vehicle. Chage climbed inside and Aska handed him Angel, the sheet falling loose from her body. She moaned and opened her eyes at being handled in such a way.

"What's happening?" she asked.

"Shh." Chage soothed her as he began to hotwire the hover-car. "We're getting you out of here."

Angel blinked a few times as her saviors came into focus. "Chage? Aska?"

Aska smiled at her. "It's us. We're doing what should have been done long ago."

Angel looked back and forth between the two. "But you'll get in trouble."

This earned her a chuckle from Chage. "Tell us something we don't know."

Angel's eyes began to water with tears. "You're really willing to do this? For me?"

"Whatever it takes." Aska replied. He turned to Chage. "How's it coming?"

Chage continued with what he was doing. "Almost got it. It should be working about-" The engine roared to life. "Ah, there we go."

"And we're off!" Aska cried, stepping on the gas.

After knocking a few other hover-cars aside, the three of them sped through the garage.

"You don't have to do this for me." Angel said.

"We know." Aska replied.

"Yeah, we want to set you free." Chage added. "And we're going to. No matter what."

"But where are you taking me?" Angel asked.

"Out of here." said Chage. "Someplace safe where people like The Sight and these scientists can never get to you again."

Angel closed her eyes and leaned against Chage, who was holding her. "Thank you." she whispered.

After a few more seconds of driving down a dark tunnel, they could see the light at the end.

"We're almost out." Aska told them. "This will be when we're most vulnerable, so be ready for anything."

They exited the dark tunnel, entering city as they traveled on the high bridges that twisted around the city. They drove for about two minutes without any trouble, but that didn't last long.

"Um, Aska, we have a problem." Said Chage.

"What?"

"It looks like those scientists called the chief. They're coming in above us at 10 o'clock."

Aska looked up. Sure enough, several police hover-cars were coming in after them. Aska swore. This was not what they needed now.

"That's them." Said the chief, as he watched the stolen decontaminator's vehicle racing by below them.

"What should we do, sir?" asked one of his men.

The chief raised an eyebrow, surprised that he needed to ask. "You know how it's done. Get in front of them and behind. We'll trap them."

The officer nodded. "Yes, sir."

As they approached their target, the chief considered the situation. He knew that Aska and Chage were, technically, doing the right thing. In fact, he supported what they were doing. But that didn't change the fact that they were breaking the law, so he had to take them in. Perhaps he could get them to turn themselves in.

Picking up the megaphone, the chief spoke to Aska and Chage in hopes of going about this peacefully.

"Officer Aska, Officer Chage."

The two of them jumped at the sound of the chief's voice. It was coming from the hover-car directly behind them. So the chief was here, was he? Both of them knew what he was about to say before he said it.

"Listen, I know what you are doing. I understand how you feel about this. Trust me, I feel the same. But this is not the right way to do this. You are just getting yourselves in more trouble. Just surrender and give the girl back."

"Like hell." Aska muttered.

"You have 10 seconds to stop your vehicle before we move in."

Instead of even waiting for the 10 seconds to pass, Aska stepped on the gas harder. The chief got the message and didn't bother talking anymore. His hover-car began moving in front of there's and getting lower in an attempt to get in front of them as another hover-car did the same thing behind them.

"Hold on." said Aska, putting the petal to the metal. "This is going to be a bumpy ride."

Angel made a whimper of fright and Chage held her more tightly. "Don't worry, it'll be ok."

(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)

The chief's hover-car began scraping against the hood of the stolen hover-car. Aska kept going as the chief's hover-car continued to try and get in front of them.

"What are they doing?" the chief cried.

"They're trying to get by underneath us." The driver replied. He began to loose control. "Sir, I can't push them back!"

The cop hover-car twisted to the side and was now being pushed along by the stolen one, tearing up the bridge as the two vehicles moved along.

"It's too much for the engine!" the driver cried. "It's going to-"

BOOM! The engine exploded. The hover-car fell from the bridge and began spinning to the ground.

"Eject!" the chief shouted. "Eject now!"

The driver pressed the eject button and they were launched out of the hover-car. A parachute opened up a few seconds later, providing them with a nice easy drop to the ground.

The chief stared at stolen hover-car in disbelief. Aska and Chage were serious about freeing that girl. Oh, they were in so much trouble. But it still brought a smile to the chief's face to see such determination.

"Well done, boys." He whispered. "Well done."

But his smile vanished a moment later as he saw the stolen vehicle soar off the bridge with Aska, Chage, and Angel still inside.

(A/N: Ha, ha, cliffhanger. Please don't hate me. I like cliffhangers; when I leave them at least. You'll find out what happens soon enough.)
