Knights Song

Chapter 3

Evils Within

Sirens echoed through the outskirts of town. A white limo stopped on a small bridge. The driver jumped out just as soon as it stopped and opened the back door. A man that looked extradinarily like Michael climbed out. Garthe Knight. The only difference was an scar over his right eye. An injury sustained when Goliath fell into the water after falling from the cliff. Regretfully Goliath didn't survive, but its two occupants did.

Garthe climbed down the small hill under the bridge toward the likes of a wreckage. Garthe bent down and gathered up a few pieces of metal. He then stood up and handed it to the limo driver.

"Give this to my engineers...have them attach it to Goliath 3. I want it operational by morning." He spat and turned to smile as the driver huffed it back up the hill and into the limo.

"Soon my brother...my vengeance will be completed." He said happily. "But first I take away that car. Without it...your nothing." He laughed and climbed back up into the limo once again as the driver turned it around and drove fast back down the road and into town.

A few Hours Pass

"I want my machine...now." Garthe growled at the mechanic who had been charged with regretting Goliath.

"Its almost finished sir. We've got the AI set up if you want to check it out, but we're putting the last coat on now. You should have it within the hour." A man with a name that read Bud on it.

"Good." Garthe said and climbed up into the cabin and turned on the onboard AI.

"KARR? Can you hear me?"

"Michael Knight...Why did you wake me?" KARRs all to familiar voice echoed throughout the bay.

"I am not Michael Knight. He's a copy. I'm Garthe Knight his Nemesis." He said with a smile.

"Nemesis...hum..." KARR thought clearly.

"I've given you a new chance KARR, a new Body that has beaten that...KITT before." Garthe said and smiled. "Work for me...and we can beat them together."

"What about after?" KARR asked. Garthe shrugged trying to act like a business man.

"Whatever you will." Garthe said and smiled.

"I'm going to get my revenge...on that factory model reject." KARR said just as the mechanic fearfully walked up to Garthe.

"Sir...we uh...we have a problem." He said and stopped ringing his hands. "We've got a problem." The mechanic said.

"What!" Garthe barked. "Well it seems we've got decay inside the engine. The only person that can fix it is...well...the person who created it." Bud announced.

"Find her...now" Garthe ordered.

"There is no need Mr. Knight. Nora is back at the foundation. Quaint little thing the Internet is." KARR said. Garthe smiled at turned to his main gaurd.

"Get your best men...we're going hunting." He said and turned and strode off.

Nora sighed tiredly as she sat back in KITT. "Are you alright Nora?" KITT asked in his usual caring way.

"Of course KITT." Nora said and pushed the seat back and looked at the flashing lights overhead.

"Tired?" KITT asked. Nora just nodded and closed her eyes. KITT brought up his tented windows and closed his doors knowing that Nora preferred the soft seats rather then the bed set in the corner. Nora started to breath softly. Her head was hurting her from the days stress.

"Nora...I've got motion outside the garage." KITT announced.

"Is it Michael? Tell him to go away I'm snoring." She said and turned over nuzzling the seat and closed her eyes.

"Its not Michael...Michaels up in the lounge with Bonnie, and Devon. This is...someone new. I'm going to alert Michael." KITT announced.

"I'll go check it out." Nora said and climbed out.

"No Nora please get back inside." KITT advised.

"I'll be fine KITT don't worry hun." Nora patted his hood and opened the garage door. A dozen men surrounded her.

"Oh...its you." Nora rolled her eyes at Garthe. "Do you mind. I've got work to do." Nora tried to push passed him toward KITT who was revving angrily knowing if he pushed passed these men he could very well kill one.

"Oh no sweetheart. Your coming with me." Garthe grabbed her forearm.

"Let go of me Garthe...or I'll kick your ass like when I was younger." Nora narrowed her eyes.

"No..." He laughed and pushed a gun into her ribs. "I think you're coming with me." Garthe said and smiled his teeth flashing white.

"I said no and I meant it. You and your little toy soldiers can go get them self bent. I've got shit to do." She pulled her arm away and pushed passed a few soldiers touching KITT to reassure him. Garthe grabbed a wrench from the tool chest and popped her pretty good on the back of the head. Nora crashed to KITTs hood out cold.
