KITT sat anxiously in the garage of the F.L.A.G mansion deflating and inflating his tires in anticepation, "Today is the day, Bonnie is returning today! This is splendid!" Oh my, what am I going to say? Well I'll just have to imprecise. KITT waited and wanted, hours passed on and still no Bonnie, his circuits were going haywire with worry, he contacted Michael, "Come now Michael, respond please!" Soon, the charming agent's voice responded, "KITT, what's wrong pal? The AI didn't hide the fear in his voice, "Michael, wasn't Bonnie supposed to come back today, it's not like her to not greet me, especially after a year!" If KITT could hyperventilate, he would be. Michael sighed,"Welllllll.....about that KITT..... uhhhhhh..." In a moment of rarity, KITT grew angry, "MICHAEL, ENOUGH WITH THE ANTICS, OUT WITH IT!!" This made Michael flinch back in surprise, "Woah, easy pal, listen......she's........ with KARR.... repairing him..." KITT's voice went so low, Michael could of sworn he was whispering, and lightly....chuckling? "What was that pal?" Michael got worried, KITT never called him "pal" before, "KITT I'm going over there, don't move a single tire, understand?" KITT paused for a moment then, his voice came slithering through the com-link, which made the F.L.A.G agant shudder with fear, "Of course, Michael, as you wish....." Michael didn't like the tone in KITT's voice at all, he sounded so ominous and calm that Michael dared to let the thought of his AI friend actually going insane cross his mind. He looked at the com-link on his wrist, only to realize that KITT had abruptly ended the call! "KITT?" KIIITT?!" "Oh, this isn't good..." He turned around, "Bonnie, something's wrong with KITT, I told him that you are working with KARR, and he sounded..... different." KARR's deep voice made both mechanic and operative jump, "Maybe that inferior production line model has, as you humans say, "a few screws loose." Bonnie scoffed, "KITT, go insane and be like you, never!" KARR ignored her comment, and continued, "On the contrary, my dear adversary, he will be much worse, it's always the docile and kind who conceal the awful secrets! " Go on, ask him, especially you, Knight, after all, you two are so close, are you not?" Michael had heard enough, "Hey, I know my pal!" I know he would NEVER lie to me!" We're like brothers, I'd know if something was wrong!" By the time he finished ranting, Michael found himself in front of KARR, glaring at the wicked AI, suddenly, his mind played tricks on him, the amber scanner changed to scarlet, black top and white underside turned to full raven black, KARR's deep and evil and KITT's kind and gentle voices feused into a horrible and blood chilling chorus as they both asked, "Are you sure about that?" Michael backed away, petrified of the image he saw! He realized it was dark out, as if on cue, his watch beeped twice, he responded quickly, hoping it was KITT, "Hey buddy, you alright?" Instead, the frantic response from a man with a heavy English accent came through the other line, "Michael it's me, Devon! Oh my God, this is terrible! Michael, KITT's gone, he left!" The F.L.A.G agent grew numb, "G-gone?" What do you mean gone? I told him not to leave he.....didn't listen to me...oh no! " Devon responded, "He must've Micro-Jammed the garage door and left in silent mode!" Michael....... before he left, he.... was...cackling madly and he left a note on one of the computers of the mansion, oh....my.. Lord!" " Michael, listen! *You can hear KITT's voice saying what the note reads as Devon goes over it* Deep in the pages of history
Lies a shadow hiding in a mystery
A late night story buried far away
Until it once again sees the light of day
And when the little drones and cars turn out all the lights
and tell a story of a factory as black as night
The luxury of fuel comes at a price Just ignore the screams, and don't think twice.
You've proven to yourself and to all of us
That you're not fit to fly like a Phoenix
You don't even deserve the symbol you bear
When you stand beside me, you don't even compare
All of the failures help to fuel successIn the bloody and visceral technologal game of Chess.
And just because you've disappointed you'll pay the price. Now accept your fate and die in the Trans-Am Device!
Phantom screams echo through the ruined facility
A horrible silence builds an eerie tranquility
The souls of many innocent fill the air
And the hope that they all died with scattered here and there
A mighty machine built within the wake
Of a long dead dream, little demon awake
The citizens sleep, never quite knowing when
I will reawaken, hungry again
You've proven to yourself and to all of us
That you're not fit to fly like a Phoenix
You don't even deserve that symbol you bear.
When you stand beside me, you don't even compare!
All of the failures help to fuel success
In the bloody and visceral technologal game of Chess
And just because you've disappointed you'll pay the price
Now accept your fate and die in the Trans-Am Device!
I don't even remember my past
I don't remember who I used to be
I don't even remember my friends of old
I don't remember my destiny
My scanner is red and my paint is black
What I've become? I have no idea.
I only know one simple thing
The name they gave me: KITT.
You've proven to yourself and to all of us
That you're not fit to fly like a Phoinex
You don't even deserve the symbol you bear
When you stand beside me, you don't even compare
All of the failures help to fuel success
In the bloody and visceral technologal game of Chess
And just because you've disappointed you'll pay the price
Now accept your fate and die in the Trans-Am Device!
I don't even recognize your curled brown hair,
When you hide it behind that mask of shame
You don't even deserve that symbol you bear
You used to be my partner, a one true friend.
All of the failures help to fuel success
In your careless game of Chess
And then you sit upon your throne and you roll your diamond dice
And you send me to die in your treacherous Device!
In the Knight Factory, where fears and horrors come true
In the Knight Factory, where not a single soul gets through
In the Knight Factory, where failures pay their toll
Now I've awoken, and I'm taking back control!
-Signed, Knight Industries Two Thousand.
PS: Michael, you will pay for your betral....I'll finally know how KARR feels...." "Who knows, you may have the honor of seeing my " lab", that is, before I "deactivate" you!"
