Looking back at the flaming wreckage of an automobile, caused by the damage of the Warriors now chasing the federal agents, the intellectual mind of Josef Szombathy (operating a thousand thoughts a second thanks to his caffeine kick) concludes their barbaric methods must be stopped if the glory of the Cave is to continue. Clicking his flashlight on, he rushes off into the cave [Exploration: 8] and finds it dip down into the Earth slightly, a man-sized crevice that can be crawled through. As he does, he thinks on how this exploration would be better saved until after the savage Wiki-Warriors are dealt with, but his hands pull him across stone and gravel regardless. He leaves the crawlspace, finding an open area filled with stalactites and stalagmites. [Scavenge: 9] Embedded into one such spike at chest-level is the hilt of a sword, which Josef eagerly rushes to and attempts to pull out. [Strength: 8] The sword pops out with ease, revealing it to be a curved Saber, still somehow in pristine condition despite it's age and position. On the ground next to it is a discarded sheathe, and a skeleton, long since abandoned. [Spot (Listen): 4] Josef looks back to the crawlspace and listens out, hearing nothing out of the ordinary.
Slumping against the wall slightly as a dull, throbbing ache fills his torso from his new bullet wound, Terry Helmut grits his teeth and begins to give chase after Jason Portman's safari truck, Smith and Wesson still very much in hand. He decides to fire his gun first, noting the windowless state of the truck, and if push comes to shove, fire fire. [6 v 10] Taking aim in a lull in movement from his own side, Terry pulls the trigger, only to seemingly hit nothing. Running out of options, and with the safari truck faster than his own legs can carry him on a good day, Terry balances the chemicals into his body into a burning ball of flame, and launches it. [10 v 4] The ball of orange plasma soars through the air, before landing with a small explosion on the back right of the truck. Immediately, he can hear a tire burst and a parade of screaming. One of Jason's bodyguards, though not the target himself, has been lit on fire and is letting out a horrid cry as the truck begins swerving. [Stability: 5] The truck manages to retain some control, but slows down dramatically. A normal human could probably run up to it.
Pedal hits metal as the true location of Max Ringelmann's target is revealed to him: Kielie Krankie, a camp just up north and right on the travel path. Against the fine road of the park, the Hilux makes great speed and great progress towards Kielie Krankie, the speedometer cranking to the high 70s and staying secure thanks to the truck's agile off-roading against the dirt, sand, and gravel of the African desert. In what feels like no time at all, he drives through Kielie Krankie and past the Pokemon altogether. [5 v 5] Instead, his positions his bumper right towards the hunched over, grimacing Terry Helmut. Terry, hearing the sound of a roaring Toyota aimed right for his spine, leaps to the left without even thinking, not even being clipped by the powerful force. Maximilien quirks his lip, but simply chases after the three-tired safari truck, and Jason Portman, now scrambling to the front passenger seat to avoid his burning bodyguard. [9 v 10] Approaching from behind, Max brings his Hilux up to the safari truck's left, parallel, and quickly swerves to ram it. The driving bodyguard, the only one still alive as the cries of his compatriot fall silent to the sound of crackling embers, thinks better. He suddenly stops, causing the Hilux to miss and hit the dirt to the right of the vehicle. Both cars are still operational, but the safari truck overtakes the Hilux as the latter returns to the road, and the chase. Behind them, Terry continues his own chase, running with whines of pain behind both the truck and the Hilux.
With a scowl and a hole now punched through his cheek, William Moran re-holsters his P229 and instead brings his P90 out to bear, doing a quick brass check to ensure a round is load. "
No point," William gruffly orders. "
No point in hiding. Five rounds rapid, Agencourt, we need this sons-of-bitches dead." Despite her injuries, Mathilda slowly stands up, her face contorted in pain and her Glock in her left hand. "
On my mark..." William peeks out of cover and sees Rinji and Chitti still down here. "
MARK!" [3-2 (Concussed) v 1] [3 v 3] Peeking out of cover, with Mathilda close by, William sprays five rounds, as promised, out of his submachine gun. Despite his training, his double-vision from the concussion causes them to spray randomly. Mathila follows up with a bullet of her own which also flies wide, unaccustomed to her non-dominant hand as she is. The two re-enter cover as Rinji dives behind the bombed out hovel of their designer car and Chitti sits still, neither wounded. The agents can hear one of them arrogantly laughing, followed by "
Avvaḷavutāṉ?"
Whining and howling, Houndoom scrambles back on top of the Navi Starmobile, followed closely behind by the hulking Registeel. Blood drips onto the vehicle Pokemon's top, but still the Houndoom stays, determined. She gives a deeper bark and nods her head towards the car chase, and the Starmobile revs it's engine and kicks up sand as it propels itself towards the battle. [7 v 9] As they drive, they catch up to the determined TV personality Terry Helmut, and in revenge, Houndoom leans down to use Bite, opening her jaws wide. However, as she's leaning down, Terry looks and catches her eye, and leans to the left as the Starmobile makes haste away from him and towards the cars, causing her to miss. Unbothered, she growls back at Terry, as Registeel looks to him and begins charging another Flash Cannon. [2 v 10] With white eyes and a flash of pure light, a beam of energy is fired right at Terry Helmut. Terry, still riding high off his earlier dodge, once again keeps away from the beam, this time with a full hop to the left, letting it pass by and hit a cabin, which shimmers with light before bursting apart. Meanwhile, the Navi Starmobile begins to catch up to the cars, and it's chassis envelops itself in a sheet of (harmless to it's allies) fire. Burning red hot, it tops it's speed out and Flame Charges towards Jason Portman's Safari Truck! [10 v 10] In another moment of driving brilliance, the bodyguard driving the safari truck makes a hard drift to the other side of the dirt road, forcing the Flame Charge ahead of them and to the right, missing entirely. Still, the Starmobile, now smoking slightly, keeps pace with the truck.
Now behind the smoldering remains of what was once an automobile, clicking his tongue in annoyance and waving his hand in thought, Rinji sighs. "
Had to be the car. That's it. It shielded them. Well, jokes on them, huh?" Peeking up from cover, he looks towards the cave wall they're using as to protect themselves, and begins to harness the powers of his mind. He focuses on their psychic presence, and their existence as government stooges, and begins to weave his abilities into a tangible force, a power to defeat The Government. [4 v 5] [6 v 7] Yet, just barely, just nearly, he can't reach his mind out to connect to theirs. He grits his teeth, and finally gives in as a headache washes over his own skull. It had to be their focus on him in return, or the rocks were somehow dampening his reach. "
Chitti, if you wouldn't mind?" he asks nicely as he returns to cover. Chitti grins, and holds his hands out. [2 v 1] He harnesses his electromagnetic pull, gripping onto the metal internal and/or external components of their firearms, and begins to pull them. They are flung out of the agents' hands, clattering against the ground, but instead of curving around the wall into Chitti's hands, they instead hit the rock wall and fall harmlessly back onto the ground. Still, they are
momentarily disarmed.
Suddenly, every Warrior in Kielie Krankie can hear the sound of a propeller plane just overhead, one not heard since a fellow Warrior ditched the initial circle to chase Jason Portman's scent. Looking up, one can, indeed, see a monochrome place soaring overhead, followed by the cartoonish yell of "
I've got ya now, ya Silicon Valley maroon!" Up above, Beryl Brushmouse lifts his M1 Garand in an impractical one-handed grip, aiming it right at the Safari Truck, and sticks his tongue out in focus. "
Don't worry, I won't let those galoots kill ya, because I'll do it first, uh-huh!" he "reassures", before his gloved-hand pulls the trigger. [7-2 (One-Handed Shot) v 5] Lining up the shaky shot through the iron sights, Beryl fires the Garand, which comedically flips upward so far that it lands on his shoulder as though being held casually. The bullet speeds down towards the ground, and even more surprisingly, only narrowly misses any of the cars, landing in the sand between the Safari Truck and the Hilux. "
Darn! And I put so much effort on the range, too!" he grumbles, as he holds the M1 Garand back out to shoot again should he so choose.
Jason, fed up, finally yells "
Damn it, gimme the gun! You're not using it, anyway!" to his driving bodyguard, as he watches the charred remains of his other one flop lifelessly out of the truck and begin rolling across the sand. With a deep, gutteral sigh, he pulls out his Bartoli handgun and passes it to the rich bastard he's escorting. [9-2 (Inexperienced) v 5] He fires back at Max Ringelmann, with one round harmlessly hitting the windshield. The second, however, embeds itself in his shoulder, causing him to yell out in pain as he grips the steering wheel white-knuckled to keep from losing place.
