Your stomach is halfway up your throat by the time you land on the other side of the gap! Sending a shower of sparks and an ear splitting metal screech into the air, you and the rest of the cart riders breathe a collective sigh of relief when your ride continues unhindered!
Except for Raj, who hoots and cheers like a kid on a roller coaster.
While he’s having a blast, however, Pepper freezes up like an ice sculpture–before you can ask why, your answer comes in the form of the stuff pooled around the tracks! Cascading from countless growing cracks in the ceiling above you comes a deluge of grimy, dirt-filled water… no doubt from the flooded levels above!
“Don’t worry, toots–I ain’t gonna let ya’ drown!” Announces Rodney, prompting Pepper to turn <span class="mu-i">blue</span>! Very reassuring, <span class="mu-i">bonehead</span>!
“I’m just sayin’ I know <span class="mu-s">CPR!</span>” The delivery boy counters as Raj watches the water fall from the ceiling with childlike mirth! He’s gonna <span class="mu-i">NEED</span> <span class="mu-s">CPR</span> if he doesn’t zip it!
If there’s any working drainage systems around you, you don’t see them… and despite your quick pace, the water is getting dangerously high around the rails! If you can just get through this cave without problems-
“Woah…” Remarks your skater buddy as he holds his hand up to examine it, “Check it, dudes!”
Check it you do… before swiftly tackling Raj to the foot of the cart! “What gives, man!?” He sputters as a salvo of <span class="mu-s">BULLETS</span> whizzes over your heads! It was a <span class="mu-s">LASER</span>, you idiot! A <span class="mu-s">LASER SIGHT!</span>
Peeking over the rim of the cart, your suspicion is confirmed: no, not the one about <span class="mu-s">NOTBUGS</span> learning to use automatic weaponry, but the one about a <span class="mu-i">second</span> cart slowly gaining on you from behind!
A cart <span class="mu-i">FULL</span> of <span class="mu-s">FOUR HAUSER SECURITY GOONS!</span> And they’re <span class="mu-i">PISSED!</span>
“How the <span class="mu-i">hell</span> did they get here!?” Sputters Rodney as another helping of bullet is served to the side of your cart! “Did they grab one and put it on <span class="mu-i">OUR</span> track!?
Yea, you shout at your pursuers, your stupid boss got <span class="mu-s">BLOWN UP!</span> <span class="mu-s">GO HOME, IDIOTS!</span>
The operators don’t seem keen on taking your advice. Sending another burst of rifle fire in your direction, the quartet seems dead-set on making sure your ride ends unpleasantly! Weaving through a forest of massive stalagmites like a skier going down a slalom, your heart sinks even <span class="mu-i">LOWER</span> when you spot a pack of antennaed silhouettes following close behind via the cavern ceiling!
“We gotta lose these guys!” Shouts Rodney as he chucks a rock at your pursuers! “Do somethin’, D!”
Oh, <span class="mu-i">NOW</span> he wants you to be the hero, huh?!
How do you lose these jerks!?
