(Okay, we're gonna wait on the next GLR for a little bit just so I can calm down after my fight with my dad, umm, last chapter of Knightmares :) Hope you all enjoy!)

There's a day in everyone's life where you have to find out what you're made of. Well, that day's today. Don't General look good hangin' there like that?

He noticed he started to tip to one side, which wasn't good. The road to Ridgeback mountain was coming up fast, and he could almost make out the figures in the car: A pair of fake Duke boys in the front with a lady in the back.

Ever so slowly, the world was turning sideways, and the car was coming closer, and so was the ground. Coming back down, the car slammed on its brakes, screeching to a halt when Chris saw the General Lee coming at them.

His front right fender was going down and he was twisting through the air towards the stopped car. The world went dark and the crunch of metal echoed off the ravine's walls. Both of the cars turned at the same time, and he hit the ground, tumbling over frontwards and rolling onto his side, finally being stopped by a tree. He only forced himself to look again to ensure that they'd really got them, and was relieved to see Chris and Abel climbing out of their wrecked car.

General sat sideways against the tree, front end crumpled and bent, dirt and grass stuck to his frame. However, despite his current state, he gave a joyous blare of his horn.

"We did it!" he exclaimed. However, there was no response. "Guys?" he ventured worriedly. "Y'all alright?"

Just then, he heard coughing and retching and the unbuckling of seatbelts.

"Yeah... yeah we're fine, just a bit shaken up," Bo reported, climbing out onto the too-near ground.

"Did Luke just throw up?"

"No," Luke answered quickly, a little hoarsely.

"Yes you did, it's disgusting! Out! Outside! Now!"

Luke scoffed and climbed over the center console and out the grounded driver's side, he and Bo helping Boss Hogg out as well.

"Well, you sure ain't hurt too bad," Luke grumbled.

"Oh very funny. Go pound some sense into those fakes, I'll call the others," General said, static sounding from his CB as he switched channels.

Bo, Luke, and Boss Hogg turned to look at Acid's operatives helping Cindy out of the car and grabbing whatever cash they could. The Duke boys took off towards them. Chris seeing them, shoved the cash he had in his hands at Abel and drew his gun.

Chris aimed and fired, shooting the ground at Bo's feet.

"You missed!" Abel growled.

"I wasn't aimin' to hit him you imbecile!" Chris shot back.

Cindy slapped him on the shoulder. "Hit them, idiot!"

However, the Duke boys were already close enough, and Bo took a swing at Chris, hitting him in the stomach. Chris doubled over, his gun flying out of his hand and onto the ground.

Abel saw Luke coming after him and dropped the money in his hands. "Forget this, I'm outta here!" he yelled, taking off back the way they'd come. Cindy yelled for him to come back, but he ignored her.

Luke ran after him, grabbing hold of him and wrestling him to the ground. Much to his surprise, however, Abel didn't fight back, he was just struggling to get away, which Luke didn't let him.

Chris on the other hand was a bit more prominent in his fighting effort. In the midst of the fight between Duke boy and imposter, a gunshot made them both stop. Cindy stood over them with a pistol of her own, her eyes a blaze of fury.
