General Lee's Revenge--Knightmares

Chapter Four: Dreamstalker

Bo woke up in the middle of nowhere, which was odd because he remembered Luke parking the truck, and he didn't sleepwalk as far as he knew. Fog hung low to the ground and the sound of the crashing ocean waves echoed across the lot. The sound of a revving engine echoed from the south. Bo whipped around to see what looked like a storage shed. Walking towards it, he listened intently for anything that might signal danger. However, it was quiet save for the sounds of the ocean slapping against the rocks.

As he drew close to the storage shed, the door opened, revealing a white Cadillac hearse sitting on a monster truck frame. It drove out, one of its tires flat with a piece of glass stuck in it. Bo jumped out of the way and behind a pile of brush. The hearse passed him by as if he wasn't even there. He swallowed hard and turned back towards the shed. He stood at the corner of the door, looking inside.

There, sitting in the corner of the room, was none other than the General Lee. His hood was dented in, and his windshield was cracked and broken on one side. Oil dripped onto the ground beside him. His body trembled as he struggled to stay up on his suspension. However, once the sound of the hearse's engine faded away, he sank with an exasperated sigh. As he did, the entire scene was suddenly whisked away into the misty fog. Until, standing where General had been, was a man wearing an orange racing jacket, much like the one Bo owned.

His salt and pepper hair was stained with oil up by his forehead, as was his mustache. His eyes were a bright, shining blue, glazed with pain. A big, angry bruise surrounded the one, oil dripping from the wound.

"Who... who are you?" Bo asked skeptically.

The man coughed, oil coming up from his throat and to his lips.

"You don't recognize me?" the man asked hoarsely.

Bo thought for a moment, studying the man. "General?"

General spread his arms and smiled. "The one and only."

"But... how?"

"I dunno, I just did it, like at the fairgrounds."

Bo paused for a moment, thinking. His expression softened, realizing what was happening. "We're in each others' heads, ain't we?"

"I think so. Why, what'd you see?"

Bo shrugged. "An empty lot, a storage shed with you in it. Sounds like the ocean."

General nodded. "A port somewhere in Savannah. I don't know where, but you're gonna wanna look for an Acid Incorporated. Also, they've got that Michael Knight character here too, KITT's driver. Hard to say what kinda shape he's in, though, I mean, I've only been here for a day and look what they did to me already."

"What do they even want?"

"They want KITT. Not sure why though."

Just then, the roaring of the hearse's engine could be heard and General jumped. He quickly disappeared, the empty space falling out. The mist opened up and Bo fell right through the ground into the darkness, falling faster and faster.

--------------------

Bo jolted awake, bolting upright with adrenaline rushing through his veins with the rush of falling. His breath fogged against the cool glass of the windshield. He looked over to see Luke asleep, leaning against the steering wheel. He reached over and shook him awake, his older cousin groaned as he woke slowly.

Luke rubbed his eyes, scowling. "Jesus, Bo, what time is it?"

"I think I know how to find General," Bo said quickly.

"Wh-what? How?" Luke asked, pushing himself away from the steering wheel.

"When I fell asleep, I dreamt I was at this port in Savannah, I found General there."
