A/N Well here's chapter 2, that has now been revised... God, who'd have thunk I took the content that was in chapter 1 and I was able to stretch it into not 1, not 2, but 3 chapters! I am seriously thinking of reposting this and then redoing it. UGGGHHHHH! Wow, did I really right that crappy of a first chappy? hey that rhymes!

Jetravenex: ah well I did say, that this was my first KR fanfic. So I guess I still had a couple of kinks to work out. Still no Micheal and Kitt (yet)

Anyways, I, Jetravenex, still do not own Knight Rider, Or bakugan, or any other series I write fanfics for.

Hey! Now I know what the fan stands for in fanfiction XD

Chapter 2

A little farther away Rex was sticking to Risk like a tail, his CPU muddled with worry for his friend. Speedy had a good heart, but he wasn't as hardened to the senseless dying as he was. He had long ago learned that the best way (for him at least) to try and shake off the horror and grief he felt was by trying to laugh and then in turn make others around him laugh. He was ripped out of his thoughts when he heard a scream rip through the air. Risk screeched to a stop his brake lights shining brightly painting the smoke and dust red. Rex slowed down and pulled up next to him

"What was that?" Rex asked voice shaky, as his chassis trembled. "Th-that didn't sound human."

"That was no human scream." Risk said grimly his brake lights clicking off. "And drones are programmed not to make a sound when they die."

Rex felt his CPU sink. "So…You're saying an AI made it," The sound echoed through his CPU as he tried to recognize it. It was male but who- Then the answer hit him like Goliath. "Speed!" Without thinking he hit the car into reverse and then he performed a hurried 360 as he shot off in the direction of the scream.

"Wait! Rex no!" But soon the blue corvette disappeared into the smoke. "Damn." Risk muttered under his "breath" as he opened the comm. "Typhoon, Hawkeye! Requesting back up on a rescue!"

"What? Did Speedy do something stupid! I knew he was a useless waste of-"

"Enough, Typhoon, you keep circling, look for them both! And learn to put your own feelings behind you and focus on the matter at hand. They are our comrades! Remember that!" Risk snapped not in the mood to put up with her dislike of Speedy. "Hawkeye I need you with me now!'

"Yes sir! I'm following your signal right now."

Risk let out a soft sigh and was about to close the comm., when Zephyr's voice suddenly exploded onto the comm. "Alert! The humans have just fired a missile! Typhoon it's locked onto you!" And Risk had to resist the urge to groan. This was going to be a rough day.

"What?" Typhoon screeched her scanners flashing around wildly and sure enough, a missile, a large missile was picked up on her radar. "Aw, crap." She kicked up the power into her turbines and then she dove for the city. The missile shot over her and for a moment Typhoon felt a surge of hope, that was instantly crushed when it began to drop down towards her. "Damn, for once couldn't they use those cheap one track missiles?" She said irritably, she pulled out of her dive and began to climb horizontally against one of the still standing buildings.

"Damn, I was not designed with this in mind!" She grumbled when a loud boom shook the building she was flying by. Fearfully she scanned downward. The missile had collided with the building and the building was falling, with her directly in its path! Terrified, Typhoon let out an almost birdlike shriek of terror and she veered away from the falling building. She managed to escape most of the building and was almost home free when a chunk of the building broke off and scraped against her underbelly and knocked out some of her functions. Typhoon swore as she spun out of control in the air for a moment before she managed to balance out once again.

"Guys! Guys! Can you hear me!" She said in a panic over the comm. And her CPU began to sink as all she got was static. "Oh, no, please let them be okay." She pleaded scanning the darkening sky helplessly. "Please."

A loud rumble made Risk scan upwards and he was shocked to see one of the buildings falling down towards the city that sprawled out beneath it. The ground began to rumble and shake beneath his tires, Risk shut off his scanners and braced himself for the worst. Soon the rumbling began to dissipate signaling that most of the building had met the ground by now.

"Hawkeye!" Risk called out trying to see the chopper through the smoke. Then he heard the steady beat of his friend's rotors cutting through the air.

"Risk! Er- I mean are you alright sir?" Hawkeye asked as he hovered overhead as he managed to catch Risk's still form in his lights.

"Yes, I am fine Hawkeye." Risk said as he ran internal scans over his systems and his exterior. "This would be one of those moments you envy Speedy and his reinforced hide."

"Well, uh," Hawkeye said sounding uncertain. "Should we-um go looking for them sir?"

"What do you think we ought to do Hawkeye?"Risk asked his words punctuated by the loud crashing noise and the rumble that shook the ground beneath his tires as the last of the building forcefully met the ground.

"I-uh- am not sure," Hawkeye stuttered.

"Show some backbone Hawkeye!" Risk said his voice sounding slightly irritated. Then he let out a sigh. "We'll continue looking for the one who is in need of our help first and then we'll go looking from the others." He started up his engine and began moving towards the source of the AI's signal. He paused when he saw that Hawkeye had not moved. "Now what is it?"

"Well- I'm worried about our friends."

Risk laughed. "Do not worry yourself, Hawkeye. Besides how will they get stronger if we keep babying them all the time?"

"Uh, they won't?"

"Exactly!" Risk said. "Now off we go!" He started forward and after some hesitation Hawkeye followed after him.

As they proceeded through the damaged city, most of the fires had begun to die out as fuel began to run out. However the smoke was as thick as ever. This forced Hawkeye to fly ahead of Risk to offer him the use of his lights to try to light up the path better than what Risk's own lights could provide.

"I think it's safe to assume that most of the combatants have left." Hawkeye said extending his scanners around finding no signal or signs of human life around, after they had traveled for a few minutes.

"We can hope." Risk replied and they continued on their way steadily nearing the source of the distress signal.

However the two of them were so focused on the path that neither of them noticed a small figure flitting between the shadows of the fallen buildings. As the figure passed by a dying fire his tiny gray body was illuminated for but a moment before he disappeared back into the shadows, cackling softly as he went.

"Foolish AI's." He cackled, as he pulled out a little remote control a large radio antennae sticking out from it, and a big red button smack dab in the middle of it. His black eyes glittering evilly. "Your demise will be what gets me dinner tonight!" He reached a brick wall and then he began to climb up the wall until he was perched atop the roof of a building as he looked down at the AI's below.

He grinned and licked his lips as he thought of the money his client had so handsomely paid him, and all he had to do was push this big red button and bam cash cow! Even though he wasn't sure what it did exactly.

He watched from his perch as he saw the two AI's he had been following enter the street, the helicopter floating overhead his lights wandering over the walls surrounding them as well as the road below. The little gray thing drummed its fingers impatiently as it waited for them to get closer.

"Come on just a little more!" He growled when the AI's suddenly stopped. "Oh what now!" he thought stomping his foot. "I want my money!" he growled under his breath.

"We're getting closer." Risk murmured his scanner sweeping side to side as he scanned the buildings. "Keep an eye out above as well as below."

"Why?" Hawkeye asked.

"Just do it." Risk snapped, sounding distracted.

Hawkeye was taken aback by the way Risk had brushed off the question, he turned around to focus on Risk his lights illuminating the red and black Ford GT. Risk let out a soft sigh. "I'm sorry for snapping Hawkeye, but I'm just fretting over our friends safety."

"Oh, I see." Hawkeye said dropping lower in the air, his searchlight dropping to focus on the ground directly beneath him.

"So forgive me for being rude." Risk said as his scanner pulsed steadily showing no signs of agitation.

"Oh of course sir!" Hawkeye said and then they proceeded with Hawkeye switching off on where he let his lights rest from the ground, to the surrounding buildings, back to the ground again.

Risk followed more slowly, he had dropped into a crawl, his scanners passed over the buildings, searching.

"Almost there." He thought to himself. "I'm so close I can taste it."

Suddenly the comm. buzzed loudly and Risk stifled a sigh. "Zephyr?" He asked.

"Oh my god Risk! I saw the building go down and I was so worried! Is everyone okay? I saw Typhoon get hit and all so I was-" She continued to babble while Risk had to repress the urge to sigh. He came to a stop and Hawkeye drew back confused by his stop.

"Yes, Yes Zephyr, we're all perfectly fine," He ignored the confused "what" that escaped from Hawkeye. "Yes, we'll be back as soon as possible, okay, I'm sorry I have to go bye."

"What did you mean by 'we're all perfectly fine'?" Hawkeye asked his tone shocked. "We're everything but fine!"

"I apologize Hawkeye, but I did it to keep her safe. If I told her we weren't sure about our teammates state, she'd try to come into the city and might get injured in the process."

"But," Hawkeye said this didn't fe- no AI's can't feel, seem right. But who was he to question Risk?

"Relax, the signal is close." Risk said as he started his engine back up and Hawkeye hesitantly began to fly ahead again as they began to move forward again.

He trusted Risk, but something just seemed, wrong.

Above them the little dude with the button groaned, because the AI's were so close but not close enough "Great, so much money gonnneee. Life suckkkksss." He whined leaning against the wall. He jumped at the sound of the rev of Risk's engine and moved to the window and looked down to see the two AI's begin to move forward once again.

"Oh yesss. I'm still going to get that delicious paycheck!" He laughed jumping up and down as he began to dance around waving the remote in the air. "Your loss, my gain AIs, time to say bye bye!" He continued to cackle as he smashed his hand down on the button and then he scampered away. A noise nearby began to rumble ominously.

"Is something wrong with Risk?" Hawkeye couldn't help but wonder as he flew in front of his leader his searchlight shifting back and forth over the street unintentionally mimicking the pace of the scanner on Risk's nose. "He's acting…Detached?" Hawkeye flashed a wary scan behind him to check Risk. The Ford GT was silent not uttering a word, his scanner however was bright and it seemed to pulse quickly signaling, high tension, "or anticipation." But the Hawkeye pushed that though away. "What could possibly be ahead that Risk could be excited-" His thoughts were cut off by a loud explosion going off practically on top.

"Aggh!" Hawkeye screamed as he tried to pull up, and then another explosion blew up throwing Hawkeye towards he building on the other side. The chopper just barely managed to recover when more explosions ripped through the buildings on the other side of the street.

"It's a trap!" Risk shouted over the explosions his scanner pulsing back and forth, his tires screeched to a stop. "Hawkeye pull up now!"

"But, Risk!" Hawkeye gasped, he didn't have a chance to hear Risk's response when he realized with horror the buildings on the other side were beginning to tilt towards the street, as their supports had been destroyed. Hawkeye screeched, his rotors becoming a blur as he fought his way back to the sky. After a few tense seconds he managed to clear the roof tops. "Phew, I did it! I live-" A loud crash and a soft rumble cut his celebrating short. He scanned downward as the buildings began to fall to pieces and fall towards the street. "RISK!" He screamed, his voice droned out by the ominous rumbling of the falling buildings.

The Ford GT sat in the middle of the street. He watched the buildings crumble on the sides of the street and watch as they began to loom over him. Slowly debris began to rain down upon him, and the buildings became more and more like dark clouds to him. He let out a soft sigh. He shut off his lights and scanner and then whispered.

"It is time."
