石 Tales ~ III part one

Blackscreen.  A hard toggle switch sound, then of an old tube coming on.  A vector graphic display appears of sphere stretching oblong.

Nemesis - (voiced) "Why would you put a singularity drive in a car ?"

Doe - An exhale for courage, "I am so sorry."
___

Nemesis is ejected face first into the ceiling of a freeway tunnel, frozen on rage filled smush-face.

('Rebirth of the Flesh' by Prince)


Heavy steel window covers slam shut all around, readouts appearing inside (also Vector Graphics).  The drive powers up, a translucent bubble forming around the car as it starts to bobble, grinding pavement, wheels throwing it behind in acceleration.

Nemesis flops down behind.

She looks in a rage and tries to faze into the car, failing to pass the shield.  Gets hit with concrete.

Nemesis - "Oh it is on little man."  She takes off running after, accelerating and weaving through the traffic.
____

Doe - Into a red telephone from the centerpiece panel, "Nocturne !  They.  And I mean they.  Are on their way to your location and so am I.  Fire up and get out."

He checks the rear view-screen, sees Nemesis running (VG), name read out, acceleration, closing distance, fire arc.  He slams the pedal down.

The car's nose dips low, singularity field still tearing up and wheels throwing concrete.  The forward readout scans cars and then a driver, wearing seat belt.  Pulls  the view out, a flower delivery truck, address listed, phone number.

Doe - "I'm bringing back-up."

The car slams through the van, sending it tumbling over and behind.

Nemesis' view slows, flowers flying everywhere, the van flying over the traffic toward her.  She sees the driver seeing her with wide eyes as it flips over her.

The driver starts to smile and point in recognition.

Nemesis - "Oh you motherfucker.  You will pay."  Gets hit in the face with a chunk of road, then catches the van, showered with flowers, surrounded by swerving traffic.
____

Teddy bears work furiously while Daphne, Cassandra and Nocturne mount cannons on the wall.  Nocturne lowers her goggles and turns her Game-Brick on.

Pong.
____

The black vans ride over the street horizon, assault craft rising behind.
____

The car speeds tearing the payment, other cars swaying out of control alongside from the singularity's push.

Behind Nemesis catches another and in a spin puts it down still driving.  She looks up in slow, three tumbling cars, hit in the face with road.  Rage scream.
____

The vans fan out, the fliers above the same, six air, 24 ground, mingled with 6 high speed tanks.  Three jets fly over, followed by another six deployment craft (similar to Osprey).  At the center a heavy armored gun-truck with Nocturne's tube inside, guarded.
____

Teddy bears drag massive cannons to the de-constructing space ship works, covered with more cutting and pounding.

Above on the wall, their cannons load their feeds, the space bird roars mechanically at the distant building dust storm.
