The New Adventures of TunnelVision: Reloaded

Hot Pursuit

Gregory, Sentinel, Jonas, and Michael were stationed in realm 6. They received word from Sterling that two of the seven deadly engines were spotted in the area, Clash and Slash were last sighted executing a group of innocent players that were mistaken for being part of the resistance. The group was waiting for them, they were given the direct order of capture or kill if all else fails.

Eventually, the group spotted Markus running towards them, "Markus, where's your engine?" Jonas wondered, "Left it parked at our hub, I ran here because I'm going to help you. They're coming guys, I saw them behind me in the distance" Markus warned, "I assume you guys got Sterling's order of capture or kill if all else fails right?" He asked, the group nodded back at him, "Good. Alright here's what we're gonna do, we're going to get a head start. Let them chase us, trust me this will work. Greg, I'll man the guns on your engine and shoot at the nightmare twins' engines and hopefully blow them up. Then we'll take them alive and get more information out of them"

Everyone fired their engines up and began picking up speed on the mainline, with every second their speed increased. Behind them in the distance was the sound of two horns, the twins were closing in on them fast. Everyone set their engines throttles to full power, "Greg I need you to shovel for dear fucking life because your life depends on it" Markus said as he grabbed the CB radio, "All engines this is Markus, me and Greg are going to try to slow them down, get ahead of us and block the tracks" Everyone understood the assignment and ran their engines faster.

Markus loaded the roof turret and began shooting at the twins, their engines were unarmed but they leaned out of their windows to fire handguns. Markus had to plan his next move accordingly. Both sides continued exchanging rounds at eachother for many minutes, but then there was trouble. One of Clash's shots hit Markus in the chest, he lost his balance and grip from the shock, falling down into Gregory's engine's cab.

Gregory gave Markus control of the engine to man the turret, "You drive now and I shoot, I used to visit the range all the time, I got this" Gregory manned the turret and successfully blew up Slash's engine. The explosion catapulted her into Clash's engine's cab. The two continued to follow Gregory and Markus as they kept exchanging rounds at eachother.

Finally, hope seemed to be near as the two recieved a call from Jonas saying that the blockade was set up, telling them to divert off the mainline so that the twins could be stopped in their tracks. Markus made a call back to tell them to change the track points, but he could barely be understandable because of his coughing and breathing. So Gregory shouted and made the call.

The two were diverted off the mainline safely and came to a stop. Markus couldn't stop coughing and wheezing, He was in strong pain, "Markus snap out of it, this isn't real. You know this isn't real" Gregory assured him with his eyes beginning to well up with tears, "Take off your headset, take off the headset. It'll make your mind stop reflecting to your real body" He saw Markus fade out which meant he removed the headset. Breathing a sigh of relief, Gregory ran to the blockade to see what happened.

Clash's engine had derailed, and the twins were being held and restrained by Sentinel and Jonas. Michael had taken two guns off his engine and pointed them each at the twins' heads. The team began to question them, "Where's Torrey, We know that fucker's alive and roaming" Jonas grunted at Clash, "Wouldn't you like to know, boy" Clash mocked, "I'm gonna count to three" Michael said as he cocked his gun. Clash couldn't do anything but freeze, the fear in his eyes set in as he looked down the barrel of the gun.

All he was thinking is that this was the end, "Torrey's at the house of the machine!" Slash blurted out, "He's being kept alive and his soul still roams these realms, He's plotting something sinister but that's all we know" She added, Clash managed to free one of his hands to slap Slash, "You fucking idiot, why would you tell them. Now Demolisher's going to want our heads for this.

"Now tell me Slash the squealer, where do we find this, house of the machine?" Gregory asked with his eyebrow raised, "I'll never tell you! Ask your stupid goody two shoes Markus, I heard he was taken there for an interrogation but got out"

Michael took his guns off the twins. Sterling manifested in front of them along with Doubleback to congradulate team, "Great work gentlemen, you've done us proud" Doubleback however was terrified when he saw who they had captured. He raised his gun with fear and tears in his eyes, "NOOOOOO" Gregory shouted as Doubleback proceeded to shoot both the twins in the head. "We needed more information out of them, what the fuck was that for?" Jonas screamed in anger, "They would've blown my cover. I just can't let the- I- I- I can't let them tell boss" Doubleback said while panicking, "what are you? some kind of double agent?" Michael asked, "Yes I am" Doubleback said, "I'm a defector who's working with Sterling to bring down Marley's regime" He added.

"Well, I guess they're defeated now unfortunately. Let's go bury them over there and head back. Markus was seriously injured and we're fucked without him, let's take a trip to the hospital when we get back to the real world" Greogry suggested. The crew got back in their engines and headed out of the realm and back to safety. Everyone was able to rest a little more knowing that two big enemies were defeated, although not the way they wanted.
