S1 Episode 4: Sequence Break

Summary: Tari gets her driving game skills on as she faces off with TAS Corp in this high octane fuelled episode of Meta Runner.

(Plot)

Tari and Belle find themselves in a tense situation as the transport hauls them back to TAS Corp. Belle attempts to make the situation sound better than it is, causing Tari to snap that they should experiment on her instead. Belle snaps back that she's been through worse and insists that it's all for the better due to the prevalence of video games in society. As Tari begins questioning what will happen to Theo, their vehicle is suddenly rammed into.

Tari manages to escape and finds Theo in the one car. Lucks arrives in his own car just in time to see Tari get in Theo's car and escape. He commands Belle to take his car and the two take pursuit.

In the other car, Theo introduces to Tari to Lamar and his Nova-chan body pillow. Lamar gives Tari a jacket to block the tracking chip installed in Tari's cybernetic arm. Lucks has one of his henchmen attempt to shoot down Lamar's car and calls off the police to avoid suspicion.

The chase heats up as Lamar powerslides past a truck and Belle's attempt to duplicate it ends up taking out their own gunman. Lucks commands a barrier put up, causing Lamar to panic. Tari quickly analyzes the situation and, using the skills she learned from watching Lamar's driving, has Theo create a makeshift ramp to drive alongside the building and over the barricade, forcing Lucks to give up the chase. After a brief celebration, Lamar agrees to take the two somewhere safe.

Meanwhile, Lucks vows to make Tari his.

Lamar takes Tari and Theo to a hidden room in the back of a ramen restaurant, where they're greeted by an energetic girl and another Meta Runner, Masa.
