THIRD PERSON'S POVThe sun was brightly shining through the car's windows. They have been driving for hours, until they saw a tunnel that was clearly suspicious. They got out of the car, to take a closer look. "You want us to go in there? I don't wanna come across as too negative, but, I mean, if I was a Crank, that's exactly where I would be." Newt said, obviously scared of the tunnel.
"I don't think we have much of a choice." Veronica said, looking at the map, once again. "All right. I get shotgun." Newt quickly said and went back to the car. Veronica, Thomas and Frypan shared a few looks and got in the car.
They drove slowly in the tunnel, looking around it with flashlights. "Just take it nice and slow." Newt said, looking around for Cranks. The tunnel was filled with abandoned cars and lots of other stuff. "Whoa, whoa, whoa!" Newt said, as all four of them noticed the Crank, standing in front of them. They all looked at Veronica, wondering what to do. "It's okay. It's just one." She said, hoping that it's in fact just one. "So take it slow, g0, around him. We'll be fine." The girl tried calming down Frypan.
"Take it slow. Take it slow." Frypan repeatedly spoke to himself. All of the sudden, Thomas got scared by a woman on his left, staring at him, through the window. "Please. Help me. Please." She spoke, looking at them and out of nowhere, there were many Cranks, around the car. "Fry, we gotta go. You need to go right now!" Thomas said, being completely terrified.
Frypan was driving off, when a Crank jumped on the car, banging on the front window. "Come on, Fry, shake him!" Thomas yelled at Frypan. "I'm trying." Frypan was trying his best to get the Crank away from the car. He managed to hit the Crank and he fell. "Frypan, watch out!" Veronica screamed, as she saw something in front of the car. Frypan hit the car, causing it to lose all its balance and it rolled over.
"Everyone okay?" Thomas was making sure, that his friend were okay. "My hand..." Frypan whined. "Fry, cover your eyes." Thomas said, as he broke the car's window, to get out. "Shit. You okay man?" Frypan asked Newt. "Yeah. You alright?" Newt asked back. "Shit, my hand. Wait, Thomas."
"Thomas, the door!" Newt banged on the door, waiting for Thomas to open it. Thomas couldn't open the door, but Newt opened the other one. He was followed by Veronica and Frypan. "Veronica, you okay?" Newt asked. "Yeah, I think so." She answered. "Fry, you good?" Veronica asked her friend, when they all heard Cranks screaming, from distance.
"Frypan, I think we gotta move. Now!" Thomas rushed his friend, to get out of this place. "Wait a minute." Frypan was searching for something in the car. "Right now! Fry, now! Come on, Fry!" All three of them yelled. "Come on, what are you doing? Come on!" As the Crank almost jumped on them, Frypan got the shotgun out of the car and killed it. "Nice shot, Fry." Veronica said. "Thanks."
Cranks began screaming and growling. "Go, go!" Frypan said, as he was left behind, shooting them. They all ran for their life, literally. Suddenly, in front of them appeared more Cranks. Frypan's shotgun was out and they didn't know what to do. Luckily, a car appeared. It was Brenda and Jorge. Brenda appeared through the sunroof, shooting the Cranks. "Hey, get in!" She told them. The four friends got in the car, as fast as possible and Jorge drove off. They finally made it outside the tunnel.
"You good?" Thomas asked Newt and he just nodded. Brenda turned to Thomas, nodding her head, disappointed. "I'm sorry. I didn't wanna bring you guys into this." Thomas apologised. "Hey, I think what he's trying to say is thanks for saving us." Veronica spoke from behind. Brenda smiled. "You're welcome."
"Hey, don't get your hopes up. That checkpoint back there, that was the city's last defence. If that was overrun, chances are the city is too." Jorge said. "Yeah, unless the figured out some other way to keep the Cranks out." Newt spoke, looking at the tall walls around the city. Jorge saw them too and immediately stopped the car. They all got out and looked at the megalopolis. "Funny...Spent three years trapped behind walls, trying to break out, and now we wanna break back in." Veronica broke the silence.
"Yeah. It's hilarious." Frypan agreed. "Jorge, how do we get in?" Thomas asked. "Don't look at me, hermano. Those walls are new. I guess that's WICKED's answer for everything." Jorge answered. "Well, we ain't gonna figure it out from up here. Let's go." Brenda said, making her way into the car.
Veronica just continued looking. "You really think he's in there?" Newt asked from behind her. "I guess we'll find out." She answered. "You know he's gonna be there too." Veronica just looked at Newt, without saying anything. She really couldn't bare with Louis now. She would probably punch him in the face, if she sees him.
They made their way, in front of the walls. Hundreds of people protesting, wanting to take WICKED down. Veronica made her way to the very front. "Veronica, this is not what you're looking for. All these people trying to find their way in, you think you'll find something they can't?" Jorge yelled, as he approached her. "Came this far. I'm not turning back now." She said, making her way through the crowd. There was no way to turn back. "Veronica, this doesn't feel right." Jorge was worried.
"Hey, guys, we gotta go now. Look." Newt gained their attention and they looked at the masked guys, that were behind them. Jorge got his gun out and suddenly, a metallic creaking was heard. "Let's go! We gotta get out of here!" Jorge said, pulling Veronica. The massive machines started shooting at the crowd. People were getting killed. They all started running, until the masked guys found them and captured them. They got put into vans and got taken somewhere they didn't know.
