Chapter 2: Break-in
Smallville, Kansas. KARR sped along at 65 miles an hour. KARR was camouflaged as a Ford classic Mustang, red colored without the amber scanner showing. Mike stared at the high-rise building that bore the LuthorCorp logo.
"It's been too long since I've been here," Trinity said. With him was Trinity Jean Knight, both Sarah Graiman's and of course KARR, who was designated team leader. They were in contact with Oliver Queen, The Green Arrow, his wife Chloe Sullivan also known as Watchtower who were in Jack Hurst's summer home in Virginia looking for any information on an order to kill the President and what allowed Jack to become the President.
"Arrow, this is Alpha dog. We're approaching the target. We're getting scans of the Knight 2000's molecular Bonded Shell. We'll confirm when we have the package," Mike said over the encrypted voice call. "Affirmative, Alpha Dog. As soon as you have the package rendezvous at the old Kent Farm. Senator Kent bought it back after Clark sold it," Oliver said. Sarah smiled.
"I've always wanted to meet the Kents," she said. The other Sarah smiled wickedly. "In my reality Oliver Queen bought the local farms and used them as rebel bases for the Resistance. The Kent farm was one such location," she stated. Mike smiled.
"Earth-2 isn't your home anymore, Miss Graiman. Earth-1 is. At least here you have people that care for you, not use you like the Regent did," Mike said.
"Watchtower to Alpha Dog. We've got some upgrades that Hurst and Lionel Luthor was working on for the Knight 2000. One of which is an EMP. We discovered those files on Jack's personal computer. I can send you the files. The house is empty, and the guards are taken care of. We're also sending you files for an improved scanner. We also found some other files but those are encrypted. We're taking the laptop," Chloe said.
"Files received, Watchtower, and my application software is scanning for potential viruses," KARR said, as the file was filtered 5 times than his predecessor would have done. KARR then sent the files to the deactivated Knight Industries Two Thousand.
"It'll take a few minutes for the files to be assimilated," Mike said. Trinity then activated the remote access to the Knight 2000.
"Files updating to correspond to Knight 3000 configuration," Trinity said and the heads-up display lit up green.
"Knight Industries system integration active. Welcome. I am The Knight Industries Two Thousand. How may I serve you," KITT said, his voice not having the usual Boston twang it used to have but sounded more metallic.
"Hi KITT. I am Trinity Jean Knight, your creator's daughter. What can you give me on a Jack Hurst via the internet," Trinity said, as KITT's voice modulator came up on KARR's heads-up display.
"Jack Hurst took possession of me after Michael Knight retired from FLAG and the Foundation was shut down. He stripped me down to the bare essentials of my programming. He compromised the Molecular Bonded Shell and installed new protocols. I don't have a primary programming. I need to be reset back to the way I was before I was compromised," KITT said.
"Don't worry, KITT we'll get you out of here and back up and running," Mike said. KITT paused for a minute, then spoke.
"Who is this? Your voice reminds me of Michael Knight," KITT said.
"I am Michael Knight, but I was born under a code name that I was told you would recognize. The name is Tracer," Mike said. "I have been programmed to accept commands from either you or Miss Knight. My new offensive weaponry is not yet active. What is this camouflage coating that the upgrade is trying to override my body's shell with?" KITT asked.
"It's something Dr. Charles Graiman designed in 1998 for the Knight Industries Three Thousand, your successor. The world needed a Michael Knight and KITT and so the world will have two KITs and one Michael Knight. Dr. Graiman was a part of Wilton Knight's original design team. We can upgrade your body but that will have to wait until we find the Knight 3000," Michael said.
"There are army guards everywhere, Mike. How are we going to break him out of there?" Sarah asked. Mike smiled.
"Are we set KARR?" He asked. KARR gave an affirmative. KARR then micro jammed the sprinkler system and then hacked the military communications that the army was using.
"hit the wall with the rocket spread, KARR," Mike said. Mini-rockets shot out from underneath the Mustang and the wall crumbled.
"is KITT still deactivated?" Sarah asked as KARR was trying to find the wooden box KITT would have been stored in.
"This reminds me of the time KITT & FLAG was shut down and KITT was taken just before we confronted KARR," Mike commented. Sarah smiled.
"Do you think this could be retribution for us doing that. Jack did warn us that we are dead back then," Sarah said. The other Sarah looked in surprise.
"What happened?" She asked. "Alex Torress and Jack Hurst shut down KITT and the Foundation after the apparent death of Dr. Graiman. Graiman did that as a ruse so no one would go after his family. We decided to find KITT and defeat KARR," Mike said.
"Isn't this KARR?" The one you destroyed," The other Sarah asked.
"No, Miss Graiman I am not. Trinity Jean Knight created a new AI chip and programmed it properly and then took the same body and weaponry as the destroyed KARR and recreated KARR but this time to aid KITT and Michael and to make sure there was a Knight Industries vehicle should KITT become inoperable or deactivated such as the case is here. I found him. Large wooden crate to your left. Who will drive him?" KARR said. The other Sarah raised her hand.
"I'll take him," she said. Mike and the other Sarah climbed out of the car and Mike whipped out his knife and opened the box. Inside the box was a 1989 Firebird Trans-Am of course modified by Knight Industries back in the late '80s Early 1990's. Sarah climbed into the car and saw the digital dashboard complete with two monitor screens built into the dash. One of them was active with the remote access screen up.
"How do I activate this thing?" She asked. Mike pointed to the Power button and she pressed it and an error message came up, asking for a password.
"Damn," She said. She then noticed the start button that was installed.
"Keyless start? When did this thing get that?" She asked. She pressed the Start button and the vehicle's turbine engine roared to life. Mike smiled at her as she rolled the window down.
"Let's get out of here," He said as he ran back to KARR and the two vehicles exited the lab.
The White House-Washington DC-Jack Hurst stared at the laws that sat before him before an aide came in.
"Yes Sam, what is it?" Jack said. "LuthorCorp just reported that a Knight Industries vehicle has been taken," Sam Jackson, his aide said.
"get me on the news. That car was taken because stored in it's memory banks is how I came to power. If the Foundation for Law And Government discovers my secret then it will be destroyed. We've got to keep Michael Knight on the run," Jack said.
