The Cross Dimensional Traveler

Chapter 8: The Disaster

Mizuna drifted off to sleep but not even 10 minutes after she did, Lightning fell asleep too despite his word to Mack.

Mack started swerving gently in his lane, and that's when 4 tuner cars who went by the names DJ, Snot Rod, Boost, and Wingo caught up to them, and decided to cause some trouble for the 3. Due to the trouble, one of Lightning's bobble head merch fell and landed on the eject button on the trailer floor, which ejected him and Mizuna both out. (one's who saw the first Cars movie know).

It didn't take long for Mizuna to wake up and notice other cars were swerving around them. She looked around urgently. "Fuck..." She softly to herself. "Hey babe..." She said gently yet hopefully loud enough to wake Lightning up.

He still remained asleep.

Once she realized she wasn't loud enough, she nearly yelled. "Babe!" She snapped urgently.

He shot awake. "Wait, what's going on?" He then noticed them being in the middle of the road. "Dammit! Where's Mack?" He said, worried. His engine roared to life and they shot off on the wrong side of the road. "Where do you think he may be?" He asked while keeping his eyes glued to the road.

Mizuna trusted him to keep her safe, so she sat up on him as he dodged traffic. "Hell if I know. It's not bright out, and you don't have headlights so we better just hope we get lucky." She says bluntly, while looking around at their surroundings to see if she could see Mack anywhere as they went past.

They kept looking as they traveled, but to no avail, nothing. That was when Lightning thought he saw him. "Mack! Mack!" He said, trying to get who he thought was Mack's attention.

"I'm not no Mack! I'm a Peterbilt for Pete's sake! Turn your headlights on!" He snapped while making his turn the other direction.

Mizuna sighs and facepalms. "Lightning why? Even I could tell that wasn't Mack..." She seemed somewhat annoyed.

Lightning rolled his eyes. "How was I supposed to know?"

Mizuna's eyes blinked twice. "Your sexy self is all over that damn trailer and there's at least enough light around here to notice!" She says bluntly.

Lightning looked up at her, seemingly caught off guard that she called him sexy but she was right and he knew that too. "You're right." He admitted. "Where do you think we should go now?"

Mizuna smiled. "I'm taking a guess but down what looks like Route 66."

Lightning headed in that direction but he was still speeding.

Mizuna didn't see anything, but she saw a big sign then not even 5 seconds later, she heard and saw a siren.

It was Sheriff after Lightning. "Not in my town, you don't." He muttered again.

Lightning unfortunately kept speeding up more, instead of complying.

Mizuna looked back, and then down at him. "Don't you think you should pull over babe?" She asks bluntly.

Lightning smirked a bit. "What's the fun in that?"

Sheriff then started having backfires. "I'm gonna blow a gasket or something due to how fast I'm going." He muttered under his breath.

That immediately wiped Lightning's smirk off him. "Why is he shooting at me?!" He asked in fear and he was confused, even swerving with his tires squealing in response.

Mizuna laughed. "He's not. I'm sure he's having backfires due to him being old."

That didn't help Lightning much, but he still continued to speed up. That was until he started to loose control. He started hitting caution cones, which thankfully all flew over Mizuna after they hit him. He winced in pain, but he had to swerve around one of the Cozy Cone motels too.
