Cooper could only helplessly hang there as his make believe family taunted him. His weapons didn't work, and his radio was destroyed. He was just as helpless and heavy as his heart. He could only hope Finn and Holley were alright.
He then got an idea. One he didn't expect Maddie to listen to, but it was his only choice. He braced himself for another hit when he spoke up. "If you leave my agents alone, you are free to do whatever you wish with me. Just leave my agents alone."
Silence. Not even a hit from Ash, which is what Cooper was preparing himself for.
Maddie left the room, leaving Cooper with an awkward silence from his sister. Cooper looked down to the ground. Why was he so hated?
After a moment, Maddie came back. "Your mother and father are on their way. Your agents have been set free." Cooper let out a sigh of relief, but he was also sort of scared to see his parents.
"But with a price." She smiled. Cooper gave her a questioning look.
"Now, where is Siddeley?" Holley asked as she and Finn sat outside the building.
"Didn't she say he was parked outside the forest?" Finn inquired.
"Yes.. wait, I remember. Follow me." Holley said, and they both began trekking through the trees.
Coming upon the familiar jet, Finn sighed in relief. "There you are, Siddelely."
Sid looked back at the two in confusion. "Um, where's Cooper?" He didn't even question the mud.
"Cooper?" Holley asked. "Who's that?"
"Guys, don't play around here." Sid said. "Where is Cooper?"
Finn and Holley both exchanged a look.
"Are you two serious?" Sid was freaking out now. "What's going on? I'm not leaving without him!"
"Siddeley, we don't know who that is." Finn said. Sid could sense the seriousness in Finn's voice. They weren't joking. They really didn't know who Cooper was.
"The blue Cadillac? Like, the only blue Cadillac in town!" Sid said. He looked up and tried to look past the trees to the building, but failed. "You two need to go back and find him!"
"We were told we had no business being there." Holley said. "And unless a mission is scheduled here, we are not going to trespass on a family's property."
Siddeley could not believe what he was hearing.
"Oh, nevermind." Maddie said. She seemed to be listening on her radio. "They are not coming. And we are leaving." She activated a gun in her hubcap and shot at the line holding Cooper in the position he was in the air. Cooper braced himself as he fell forwards, hitting the ground on his front as he fell. All four tires hit back onto the ground hard. Before he could even make a movement, Ash placed a boot on Coopers' rear tire.
"What are you-" Cooper began to ask before Maddie interrupted him.
"We are putting this place behind us. Staying too long in one area is not good for us." She said. "So, we have decided to set fire to our past." She looked at Cooper as she spoke. That meant she was talking about him, Cooper realized. Ash whipped out a match, and pushed forwards an entire tank of gasoline. Cooper could not believe what was happening.
"You see, I could kill you right here and now, but I like to see you suffer. Why do you think I just up and left you?" Ash began to dump the strong smelling gasoline all over the room. Cooper felt uneasy, and frightened. He could not move, however. He couldn't drive with the boot.
"Make sure Max leaves the building along with you." Maddie spoke into her radio. "Tell him the deed will be done."
"Max?" Cooper choked out, almost in a whisper.
"You're so weak, Cooper." Maddie smiled as she as well activated her gun, ignoring his question. "Is this why you couldn't save me on the oil rig?"
Ash had lit her match and threw it on the gas. It lit immediately and Cooper winced at the bright light.
"Let me give you one last kiss, for old times sake, hmm?" without even letting Cooper respond, she pressed her lips firmly against his. He tried so hard to fight it, but couldn't help himself. He had always wanted her.
She pulled away and shot at unlit gasoline with her gun. It went ablaze. Cooper swore his lips burned with her hatred. The two left the room and the Cadillac to burn.
"I can't believe you two are acting like this." Siddeley complained. "You are acting insane! You have to go back!"
Holley and Finn didn't even have a chance to speak before a loud explosion erupted in the direction of the building. Then another. And another. And another. Siddeley watched in horror as flames erupted into the sky followed by black smoke. His mouth hung open.
"I-I need emergency rescue helicopters here now!" He yelled into his radio.
Finn and Holley both heard the explosions and looked at each other in terror. Something then just, clicked.
"I-I.. you..." Holley stuttered. Finn couldn't even speak.
"What have we done.." Finn breathed. Siddeley was too freaked out to even hear them.
The fire licked at Cooper's body and he could barely breathe through the heat and smoke. This was really the end. At least the mud kept him somewhat protected for the time being. It wouldn't last long he knew. Almost immediately after Maddie and Ash left, bombs had activated in the hallway and he guessed other parts of the building as well. They were prepared for this. The heat was unbearable, and Cooper felt himself fading out.
Meanwhile, Holley and Finn were speeding back through the trees to the building. Finn had an extinguisher attached to his tire with his magnets. He took it from Siddeley. The flames had erupted out of the door Cooper had originally entered through, and Finn activated the extinguisher and cleared a path for them just enough to get through the fire unharmed. It didn't take them long to find the room Cooper resided in. Finn practically drenched Cooper in the extinguisher and a bit in the room to clear them a way. Holley took the extinguisher from Finn so he could attach his grappling hooks to the seemingly lifeless soot covered Cadillac.
"Wait, the boot!" Holley cried out and dropped the extinguisher. Finn stopped what he was doing and brought out his machine guns. He repeatedly shot at the boot, trying to destroy it in any way he could where Cooper's tire could move easily and not harm his fender. The result was a shot up rim and a flattened tire, but the boot was destroyed enough where Finn could finish it off with his magnetic tires.
"Let's go." Finn breathed and finished hooking himself to Cooper. Holley led the way with the extinguisher and Finn squealed out of the room, dragging Cooper behind him.
Once outside, the cold air seemed to affect Cooper. He began to stir. The rescue helicopters had arrived and a pitty had come down from one to strap Cooper with the safety net. He felt Cooper's paint and it was practically on fire itself. He motioned for another pitty aboard to get water, and the second pitty dropped down and splattered cold water on top of Cooper. This woke up Cooper with a start. He coughed and sputtered, and wearily opened his eyes. The next thing he knew, he was being lifted into the air towards the rescue copter.
